The sermon emphasizes that true inner peace is found only by beholding the God of power, who possesses absolute might and sovereignty over all circumstances. It argues against the notion that human effort or mere belief saves a person, asserting instead that salvation rests entirely on trusting in Christ's finished work. Pastor Friesen highlights God's omnipotence through creation and providence, illustrating how He superintends even tragic events for a greater good. By reconciling God's infinite power with His goodness, believers can overcome anxiety and bitterness, recognizing that nothing is outside His control. Ultimately, the message calls for humble reliance on God's ability to preserve and save those who commit their souls to Him.

Understanding the WisdomThis profound composition is from the Guru Granth Sahib (the holy scripture of Sikhism), authored by Guru Arjan Dev Ji (the fifth Sikh Guru, though writing under the spiritual lineage name "Nanak").It delivers a timeless, sobering reality check about the human condition, the illusion of the material world (Maya), and what truly matters at the end of life's journey.Key Themes Broken DownThe Illusion of the Material World (Maya) The Shalok (verse) starts by labeling power, beauty, wealth, and high ancestry as "fraudulent." They are described as poison gathered through deception. They aren't inherently evil, but the attachment to them is a trap because they promise permanent happiness but deliver temporary satisfaction.The Metaphor of the Bitter Melon (Tumma)“Beholding the bitter melon, he is deceived, since it appears so pretty.”The Guru uses the colocynth or bitter melon (tumma) as a brilliant metaphor. It looks bright, beautiful, and inviting on the outside, but it is incredibly bitter and toxic to eat. Similarly, worldly riches and superficial pleasures look beautiful from afar but leave the soul empty and bitter.The Futility of Hoarding The Pauree (stanza) asks a deeply practical, philosophical question: Why exhaust yourself accumulating things you cannot take past the grave? It highlights the irony of human effort—we spend our entire lives securing the temporary while completely ignoring the permanent.The True Remedy The verse concludes with a plea for divine grace. True peace doesn't come from external acquisitions, but from internal alignment with the Divine (the Lord). Without this connection, the mind remains in a constant state of anxiety and fear.Core TakeawayThis text isn't asking you to abandon the world or live in poverty. Instead, it is an invitation to shift your perspective. It serves as a gentle but firm reminder to stop anchoring your identity and happiness to things that have an expiration date—like wealth, status, or looks—and instead cultivate inner peace, humility, and spiritual wealth.ਸਲੋਕ ॥ ਰਾਜ ਕਪਟੰ ਰੂਪ ਕਪਟੰ ਧਨ ਕਪਟੰ ਕੁਲ ਗਰਬਤਹ ॥ ਸੰਚੰਤਿ ਬਿਖਿਆ ਛਲੰ ਛਿਦ੍ਰੰ ਨਾਨਕ ਬਿਨੁ ਹਰਿ ਸੰਗਿ ਨ ਚਾਲਤੇ ॥੧॥ ਪੇਖੰਦੜੋ ਕੀ ਭੁਲੁ ਤੁੰਮਾ ਦਿਸਮੁ ਸੋਹਣਾ ॥ ਅਢੁ ਨ ਲਹੰਦੜੋ ਮੁਲੁ ਨਾਨਕ ਸਾਥਿ ਨ ਜੁਲਈ ਮਾਇਆ ॥੨॥ ਪਉੜੀ ॥ ਚਲਦਿਆ ਨਾਲਿ ਨ ਚਲੈ ਸੋ ਕਿਉ ਸੰਜੀਐ ॥ ਤਿਸ ਕਾ ਕਹੁ ਕਿਆ ਜਤਨੁ ਜਿਸ ਤੇ ਵੰਜੀਐ ॥ ਹਰਿ ਬਿਸਰਿਐ ਕਿਉ ਤ੍ਰਿਪਤਾਵੈ ਨਾ ਮਨੁ ਰੰਜੀਐ ॥ ਪ੍ਰਭੂ ਛੋਡਿ ਅਨ ਲਾਗੈ ਨਰਕਿ ਸਮੰਜੀਐ ॥ ਹੋਹੁ ਕ੍ਰਿਪਾਲ ਦਇਆਲ ਨਾਨਕ ਭਉ ਭੰਜੀਐ ॥੧੦॥ ਅਰਥ: ਹੇ ਨਾਨਕ! ਇਹ ਰਾਜ ਰੂਪ ਧਨ ਤੇ (ਉੱਚੀ) ਕੁਲ ਦਾ ਮਾਣ-ਸਭ ਛਲ-ਰੂਪ ਹੈ। ਜੀਵ ਛਲ ਕਰ ਕੇ ਦੂਜਿਆਂ ਤੇ ਦੂਸ਼ਣ ਲਾ ਲਾ ਕੇ (ਕਈ ਢੰਗਾਂ ਨਾਲ) ਮਾਇਆ ਜੋੜਦੇ ਹਨ, ਪਰ ਪ੍ਰਭੂ ਦੇ ਨਾਮ ਤੋਂ ਬਿਨਾ ਕੋਈ ਭੀ ਚੀਜ਼ ਏਥੋਂ ਨਾਲ ਨਹੀਂ ਜਾਂਦੀ।੨।ਤੁੰਮਾ ਵੇਖਣ ਨੂੰ ਮੈਨੂੰ ਸੋਹਣਾ ਦਿੱਸਿਆ। ਕੀ ਇਹ ਉਕਾਈ ਲੱਗ ਗਈ? ਇਸ ਦਾ ਤਾਂ ਅੱਧੀ ਕੌਡੀ ਭੀ ਮੁੱਲ ਨਹੀਂ ਮਿਲਦਾ। ਹੇ ਨਾਨਕ! ਇਹੀ ਹਾਲ ਮਾਇਆ ਦਾ ਹੈ, ਜੀਵ ਦੇ ਭਾ ਦੀ ਤਾਂ ਇਹ ਭੀ ਕੌਡੀ ਮੁੱਲ ਦੀ ਨਹੀਂ ਹੁੰਦੀ ਕਿਉਂਕਿ ਏਥੋਂ ਤੁਰਨ ਵੇਲੇ) ਇਹ ਮਾਇਆ ਜੀਵ ਦੇ ਨਾਲ ਨਹੀਂ ਜਾਂਦੀ।੨।ਉਸ ਮਾਇਆ ਨੂੰ ਇਕੱਠੀ ਕਰਨ ਦਾ ਕੀ ਲਾਭ, ਜੋ (ਜਗਤ ਤੋਂ ਤੁਰਨ ਵੇਲੇ) ਨਾਲ ਨਹੀਂ ਜਾਂਦੀ, ਜਿਸ ਤੋਂ ਆਖ਼ਰ ਵਿਛੁੜ ਹੀ ਜਾਣਾ ਹੈ, ਉਸ ਦੀ ਖ਼ਾਤਰ ਦੱਸੋ ਕੀਹ ਜਤਨ ਕਰਨਾ ਹੋਇਆ? ਪ੍ਰਭੂ ਨੂੰ ਵਿਸਾਰਿਆਂ (ਨਿਰੀ ਮਾਇਆ ਨਾਲ) ਰੱਜੀਦਾ ਭੀ ਨਹੀਂ ਤੇ ਨਾਹ ਹੀ ਮਨ ਪ੍ਰਸੰਨ ਹੁੰਦਾ ਹੈ। ਹੇ ਪ੍ਰਭੂ! ਕਿਰਪਾ ਕਰ, ਦਇਆ ਕਰ, ਨਾਨਕ ਦਾ ਸਹਿਮ ਦੂਰ ਕਰ ਦੇਹ।੧੦।Shalok : Power is fraudulent, beauty is fraudulent, and wealth is fraudulent, as is pride of ancestry.

What if prayer was never meant to begin with your words—but with your attention?Many believers approach God carrying shame, striving, distractions, or a long list of requests. But what if the greatest invitation of prayer is simply to behold Jesus and discover that He is already delighting in you?In this encouraging message, Pastor David Morgan shares how the finished work of Christ has given every believer permanent access to the Father. Through righteousness, we are invited into a friendship with God that goes far beyond religion, performance, or simply having our prayers answered. As we fix our eyes on Jesus, we become more like Him and experience the peace, joy, and intimacy He always intended for His children.In this teaching, you'll learn:• Why we become what we behold• The difference between religion and friendship with God• What it means to pray from righteousness instead of striving• Why God delights in His sons and daughters• How busyness can quietly rob us of intimacy with God• Why Jesus Himself is our greatest reward• What it looks like to prepare a straight path in your heart for His presence• How returning to God's presence transforms every area of lifeThe Lord is not inviting you into another religious routine—He's inviting you into communion. As we behold Jesus, we discover the God who has always desired to walk closely with us, just as He did from the very beginning.**Key Scriptures:**Romans 5:1–2Matthew 3:3Matthew 3:171 Thessalonians 5:16–18 Sundays at 8:30 & 10:30 AMWe are branded by the fire of God. We carry the fire of God to ignite our generation to burn for Jesus. Find us:www.fuquayrevival.comwww.facebook.com/cornerstonefuquayig: @cornerstonechurch.fv

The Gospel is not merely freedom from sin and death, but freedom to know, enjoy, and be transformed as we behold the One who loved you and gave Himself for you.

Beholding Jesus | Jesus In The Midst Of The Storm | Apostle Moses Mukisa

But how does a dead King usher in all the sweeping promises of the Kingdom that is to come? That’s what’s agonizing Jesus’ followers during his arrest, trials, crucifixion, death, and burial. And honestly, that’s what can agonize you and me as we follow Jesus through this world experiencing the trials and opposition He predicted. Beholding the risen King rightly fills our hearts with joy, resolve, adventure, and steadfastness.

Last study we considered the glory of Christ's Incarnation and Ministry which led to the Cross, which is central in John's Gospel. This study focuses on His Resurrection, Ascension and Session. We hope to see each of these as indispensable, powerful, and gloriously effective in fulfilling everything He planned since before time. Such includes the glorious defeat of death and the one with the power of death, and the glorious pouring out of the Spirit of Father and Son indwelling His global Church. Our eternal Word continues to speak gloriously through His Church. This same Son of Man in Heaven majestically reigns as King and sympathetically intercedes for us as our eternal High Priest. From heaven He continues to display the moral glory of God throughout the whole world to bring many sons to glory

Beholding Jesus | Apostle Moses Mukisa

Beholding Jesus | Jesus Our Rest | Apostle Moses Mukisa

In John's Gospel we see the glory of Christ in events and references that point to and lead to the Cross ... the focus and greatest manifestation of glory in His ministry. Whilst the crosses we put on and in our church buildings are symbols of cruel punishment and suffering, they paradoxically remind us of the time that God's greatest glory to Mankind is revealed and effected. How can that be so? We may fathom in-part the glories of incarnation, transfiguration, resurrection, ascension and subsequent Christ's rule and high priestly role. In this session we hope to catch glimpses of the unfathomably great glory of the Godhead that glows brightly from the Cross.

Allie Smith speaks on Beholding Jesus as we study in Numbers 21

Sun 6PM

Today the Eyres are reflecting on the past, present, and future of their lives and trying to explain the "eternal, inclusive, familycentric lens" through which they try to view both their own lives and the Gospel. They discuss their forthcoming book Beholding the Restored Gospel through a Familycentric Lens that they are writing with their Bulgarian Daughter Eva and her husband Adam.

Doug Hankins, author of "Still Single, Still Called," shares about the process of becoming a church for everyone, because that's often times where singles find their place and feel welcomed. Steve DeWitt, host of The Journey and author of "Enjoying God in Everything," outlines how we can turn all of our experiences we're apart of into praise to God and why giving Him worship for the beauty around us is our ultimate purpose in the end.
