At our 1st GoodNews Special Service, Pastor Femi Paul declared the prophetic word titled “After That…” a reminder that after every season of trial, testing, or delay, God has ordained a season of Good News. From Isaiah 52:7, PFP affirmed his assignment for the day: “I didn't come to preach, I came to declare Good News!” He declared peace, salvation, and glad tidings of good things over the house. He taught that Good News refreshes the weary, just as Proverbs 25:25 describes it as “cold water to a tired soul.” Using Job 42:16–17, PFP emphasised that Job's story truly began after “that”, after pain, loss, and hardship, God ushered him into longevity, restoration, joy and a good life. Likewise, Zechariah 3:10 paints God's promise of what happens after that: peace, prosperity, stability, and home ownership. PFP declared boldly that after all you've been through, Good News will come knocking on your door peace, restoration, good things, and divine turnaround. Today wasn't just a sermon; it was a proclamation that your “after that” season has begun! Prayer: Lord, thank You for my “after that” season. I receive Good News, peace, restoration, and every good thing You have declared over my life. Let glad tidings locate me and let Your reign be seen in my story. Amen.

At today's Interactive Midweek Service, Pastor Femi Paul taught on “Satisfied with the Goodness of God”, unveiling the abundant blessing reserved for those who draw near and choose to dwell in God's presence. From Psalm 65:4–5, PFP reminded us that the person God chooses and brings close is blessed because God satisfies His own with the BEST. According to the Olive Tree Strong's Dictionary, “goodness” (ṭûḇ) is in the superlative: it means the best, good things, prosperity, and joy. God's house is not ordinary; it is the place where His goodness overflows. PFP then highlighted that those who dwell in God's house (Psalm 23:6) experience consistent mercy, protection, and satisfaction. He then posed a question: “Are you dwelling or merely visiting?” Many dwell in the world and only “visit” God occasionally, yet dwelling requires commitment, consistency, and prioritising God above all else. As Psalm 122:1 declares, there is joy in going to God's house, and Psalm 36:7–8 reveals that those who take refuge in Him are “abundantly satisfied” and drink from the river of His pleasures. The message was clear: when you dwell, God satisfies you with the fullness of His house, His goodness, joy, prosperity, and every blessing that makes life whole. Prayer: Lord, I choose to dwell in Your presence. Satisfy me with the goodness of Your house. Let Your mercy, joy, and prosperity flow into every area of my life as I remain rooted in You. Amen.

At today's Warfare Wednesday service, Pastor Femi Paul declared that worship is our weapon for warfare! In this brief but powerful exhortation titled “Devotion to God Through Worship & Service,” he taught that true devotion is more than religious activity; it is a heartfelt, consistent loyalty to God shown through reverence, obedience, and service. Drawing from Philippians 2:20–22 (MSG), PFP described Timothy as “the real thing - a devoted son” who genuinely cared for the things of Christ, not personal gain. Such devotion, he explained, is what God desires from every believer, a life that prioritises Him above all else. PFP highlighted that devotion is expressed through worship, prayer, and selfless service. It requires yielding one's time, energy, and resources to God, not out of duty but out of love. From 1 Timothy 4:8, he reminded us that while physical discipline profits a little, devotion to God pays eternal dividends, bringing blessings in this life and the next. As Isaiah 58:14 (TLB) affirms, those who delight in the Lord will “ride high” and enjoy their full share of covenant blessings. PFP concluded by urging the church to strengthen their devotion - make worship and service not just acts of faith, but weapons of victory that move the hand of God in every battle. Lord, I choose devotion over distraction. Teach me to serve You faithfully and worship You wholeheartedly. As I delight in You, let me rise higher, walk in victory, and enjoy the fullness of Your blessings. Amen.

Pastor Femi Paul delivered this message titled “If You Turn Aright, Things Will Turn Around!” A divine reminder that the direction we choose determines the outcome we experience. Drawing from Ecclesiastes 7:8, PFP emphasised that “the end of a thing is better than its beginning”, but only for those who remain steadfast in their walk with God. He admonished believers not just to start right, but to end well, because consistency in doing right is what guarantees a glorious turnaround. Quoting Jeremiah 29:12–14, PFP highlighted God's promise: “When you come looking for Me with all your heart, I will make sure you won't be disappointed — I will turn things around for you!” He explained that divine turnaround is not automatic; it is triggered by a genuine heart that seeks God above all else. To “turn aright” is to realign with God's will, to walk in obedience, and to delight in Him (Psalm 37:4). When we take delight in the Lord — aligning with His ways and values — our desires begin to match His purpose, and transformation follows naturally. PFP concluded with this encouragement: start right, stay right, and you'll end well — because when you turn aright, God turns everything around!

Pastor Femi Paul declared this season as our God-given chance to rebuild, upgrade, and beautify our lives! Teaching from Job 22:21, PFP urged the congregation to “give in to God” and “come to terms with Him,” emphasising that divine rebuilding begins with submission and alignment. God's desire is to restore every area of our lives that has fallen below His standard, to move us from “nothing to write home about” to becoming “the talk of the town!” (Jer. 24:6). PFP explained that to rebuild is to renovate, redecorate, optimise, and bring something up to standard. God specialises in making the broken beautiful and turning rejected stones into cornerstones (Psalm 118:22–23). However, the key lies in our willingness to let Him lead “Let Him tell you what to do!” When we resist God's authority (Romans 13:2), we hinder His work in us. But when we yield, we experience the impossible becoming possible (Luke 1:37). PFP challenged everyone with a simple but piercing question: “Just why not?” - why not give in fully to God and allow Him to rebuild every area of your life? Because this is your long-awaited chance, your moment for divine rebuilding and transformation! Prayer/Confession Point: Lord, I give in to You completely. Rebuild every area of my life that has fallen below Your standard. Beautify my story, upgrade my life, and let Your transforming power make me a living testimony. I believe that with You, nothing is impossible. Amen.

It was an inspiring Youth Sunday at Grace Assembly, and Pastor Femi Paul delivered a life-defining word titled “Now, It's Up to You!” a reminder that God has done His part; the next move is ours. Drawing from Job 22:21–28, PFP showed that God's blessings, restoration, and peace are set in motion when we decide to “acquaint ourselves with Him” and take His Word to heart. True transformation begins with a decision to align with God's plan - not waiting for change, but becoming the change through obedience, prayer, and faith. He explained that life's outcomes are often determined not by circumstances but by our choices. “You'll decide what you want, and it will happen!” (Job 22:26 MSG). God rebuilds and restores those who return to Him wholeheartedly. When we choose to surrender, to “clean house of everything evil,” and to live by His Word, light shines on our path, prayers are answered, and divine favour follows. PFP concluded with a powerful charge “The decision is yours!” urging everyone, especially the youth, to take responsibility for their walk with God and boldly shape their destiny through right choices. Prayer/Confession Point: Lord, I choose You today and every day. I surrender to Your Word, Your will, and Your ways. As I align with You, let light shine on my path, let my prayers be answered, and let my life reflect Your glory. Amen.

At our Hymnal & Pure Worship service, Pastor Femi Paul brought us a powerful message titled “There's More to You Than Meets the Eye!” reminding us that things are not always what they appear to be. Drawing from 2 Kings 6:14–17, he explained how Elisha's servant panicked when he saw enemies closing in, until God opened his eyes to reveal heavenly chariots of fire all around. PFP taught that the same unseen help surrounds believers today. What the eye sees is not the whole story; he encouraged believers not to be moved by circumstances but to walk by faith, confident that God's unseen power is always at work on their behalf. Referencing John 20:26–29, he taught that “Better Blessings” await those who believe even without seeing. He led the church in prophetic prayers declaring that delay is over and every disqualifier is dropped! This week, remember — there's more to you than meets the eye, and heaven's forces are backing you all the way!

Ike, Spike and Fritz play more audio from Dave Dombrowski who responds to Matt Strahm's postgame comments regarding PFP's and that the team did in fact take them despite the left-handed relievers' quote saying that the Phillies did not prior to the NLDS.

Pastor Femi Paul continued our October teaching series with a powerful reminder that the Good Life, God's promise of abundance and fulfilment, is accessible only when we are led by His Spirit. Drawing from Deuteronomy 8:7–9, he explained that God is bringing us into a “Good Land” where we will lack nothing, but only those who follow divine direction can truly possess it. Referencing Matthew 13:14–16 and Isaiah 30:15–18, PFP emphasised that when we ignore God's leading, our hearts grow dull and we risk being led astray. The key to the Good Life lies in quietness, confidence, and returning to God's guidance. Stay sensitive, stay led and walk in the Good Life!

At today's Warfare Wednesday Service, Pastor Femi Paul stirred the church with a short message titled “The Good Life - Take It by Force!” Drawing from Psalm 21:4 (MSG), “He wanted a Good Life; You gave it to him.” PFP declared that the good life has already been given by God, but believers must gain access by force, by fire! The good life represents fullness in every area — spiritual, emotional, financial, and relational — and it is not meant for casual seekers. Using Matthew 11:12, Pastor Femi explained that the kingdom of heaven and all its blessings are seized by those who pursue with ardent zeal and intense exertion. He charged the congregation to rise in prayerful determination, refusing complacency and passivity. Just as David pursued and recovered all, we too must lay hold of our portion through spiritual warfare, faith, and fervent prayer. The “force” he referred to is not physical aggression but spiritual intensity, the refusal to settle for less than what God has promised. Pastor Femi led the church to boldly declare: “I want the good life - spiritually, mentally, financially, relationally and I take it by force!” Truly, today na today! The time to possess the good life is now.

At our October Testimony & Thanksgiving Service, Pastor Femi Paul brought a powerful word titled “The Good Life.” He opened with a simple yet profound truth: there is a difference between life and the good life. According to Psalm 21:4–6 (MSG), “He wanted a good life; You gave it to him, and as a bonus, You made it a long life!” PFPexplained that the good life is not just about existence but about living meaningfully, enjoying divine health, fulfilment, peace, loving relationships, and prosperity. Drawing from T. L. Osborn's teachings, he described the good life as one that is spiritually, emotionally, and physically satisfying, anchored on faith in God's promises and principles. He further reminded the church that a short or empty life is not God's design. The Lord intends for His people to live long and live well. In this new month of October, PFP declared that we will experience the Generosity of God in full measure. God will not only bless us He will also add bonuses and surprises beyond expectation. As we walk in obedience and gratitude, may the Lord grant us the blessing of a good, long, and joyful life, lifting us high and piling blessings upon us and our loved ones. Indeed, this October, we will live the good life and live it well!

Light Science Technologies Holdings PLC (AIM:LST) CEO Simon Deacon talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company's progress in its Passive Fire Protection (PFP) division, highlighting the growth opportunities ahead. Deacon explained the importance of recently receiving the BS 8670 accreditation from Construction Online, which he described as “very significant” for the business. He noted that Construction Online was originally a government department and has been supporting thousands of businesses across Europe for more than 20 years in compliance and supply chain management. According to Deacon, the new accreditation is designed to “streamline the supply pre-qualification process and will really help unblock the delays across the construction industry and supply chain.” Deacon said the accreditation will further validate Light Science Technologies' expertise across safety, leadership, risk management, and fire and life protection. He also discussed the company's pipeline, which has grown to around £28 million. Recent orders worth approximately £0.5 million have been secured across the UK, covering projects in schools, hotels, social housing, and more. Looking ahead, Deacon said both the PFP and AgTech divisions are expected to be the strongest revenue generators, with net profit anticipated for the group in 2026 as backlogs clear.

At today's Youth Sunday Service, Pastor Femi Paul delivered a timely exhortation titled “The Blessing of Always Knowing What to Do.” Speaking directly to the youth and extending the charge to the entire church, he emphasised that divine guidance is one of the greatest blessings a believer can have. Drawing from Proverbs 3:6, he reminded us that when we acknowledge God in all our ways, He promises to direct our paths and show us the right way to go. PFP encouraged the congregation not to be shaken by life's taunts and discouragements, as reflected in Psalm 42:10–11. Instead, he urged us to expect God to act, because our help and confidence are anchored in Him. Citing 1 Samuel 30:8, he highlighted David's example of inquiring of the Lord before taking action, which led to total recovery. He stressed that wisdom, clarity, and victory always follow when we seek God first. This message reminded us that walking with God positions us for direction, recovery, and breakthroughs. Indeed, the blessing of always knowing what to do keeps us ahead in life's battles and ensures we never walk in confusion but in divine clarity.

Continuing in the Real Peace series, Pastor Femi Paul shared this timely word he entitled Peace & Prosperity. Drawing from Psalm 122:7, he taught that Peace and Prosperity are not separate blessings but deeply connected keys to fulfilment in life. True well-being means being happy, healthy, and prosperous, and it flows from living in Peace. He reminded us of the “PPP” formula = Peace + Prosperity + Progress; as God's plan for His people. PFP then prayed over the church from Psalm 29:11 and John 16:33, declaring the blessing of peace, strength, and divine confidence in the midst of life's challenges.

When families look to CPA financial planners, they're often asking more than just tax or investment questions. They want to know: Will my kids be ready when it's their turn to inherit? In this episode, Cary Sinnett welcomes Mindy Kalinowski Earley, consultant to ultra-high-net-worth families and Chief Learning Officer at Family Office Exchange. With two decades of experience at the intersection of family dynamics and education, Mindy challenges planners to move beyond balance sheets and into legacy stewardship. Together, they explore: ·       Why preparing heirs is about purpose, values, and emotional intelligence—not just financial literacy. ·       How advisors can help design learning experiences that build resilience, trust, and stewardship across generations. ·       The hidden lessons families pass down through behavior and how advisors can help surface values more intentionally. ·       Practical ways to start the conversation about rising-generation education with clients. For CPA financial planners, this conversation offers insight into one of the most complex and rewarding areas of planning: ensuring that wealth transitions are not just tax efficient, but truly human-centered.

At our Interactive Midweek Service, Pastor Femi Paul continued the series Real Peace, Peace of Heart and Mind with a message titled A Fragile Peace. He contrasted the illusory peace of the world, fragile, unstable, and easily disrupted, with the enduring peace that Christ gives. Worldly peace can quickly collapse under trials and frustrations, but the peace of Christ holds steady even in the face of storms (John 14:27, John 16:33). True peace is not fragile but solid, flowing from a mind anchored in God and His promises (Isaiah 26:3). It comes from learning Christ's way of humility and rest (Matthew 11:29), and trusting Him beyond circumstances. PFP urged us to reject fragile peace and embrace the perfect, unshakable peace of God that secures both heart and mind under every condition.

We ask questions that necessitate deeper exploration, and offer more practical application of what the science says for athletes with varied training and performance goals.Ross Replies (1:15:17) takes us back to pro cycling, where comments by Marlen Reusser revived discussion about weight loss and performance, revealing that there are concerns even within the pro peloton Gareth and Ross feel that the conversation has been largely positive (and necessary) but the threat remains. The weight conversation also offers the chance to explore how heavier, fixed bike weights might actually curb excessive weight cutting.And Finally (1:29:18), Fred Kerley's provisional suspension over whereabouts violations gets the Gareth-and-Ross treatment — and not much sympathy.LinksDiscourse discussion on Edwards WRKipyegon on the 3000 WR and her marathon futureDiscourse reaction and thoughts on the Zone 2 podcast themes - Members onlyGreat Discourse discussion about PFP's weight loss and Reusser's latest thoughtsMarlen Reusser speaks out about weight loss concerns Hosted on Acast.

At our Retro Praise Service, Pastor Femi Paul brought us this powerful message he entitled GREATLY HELPED, drawing from Acts 18:27. He highlighted the story of Apollos, whose arrival in Achaia brought tremendous help to the believers through God's grace. This was not just assistance in passing, it was divinely empowered, life-changing help that strengthened faith and advanced the gospel. PFP emphasised that when God sends help, it is both timely and effective, producing undeniable results in the lives of those who receive it. The message carried a strong prophetic tone, with Pastor Femi declaring that our God-sent helpers will not be hindered, delayed, or ambushed by the enemy. They will arrive with good news, bringing the exact support we need in this season. He led the church in praying our helpers will arrive soon, very soon and that their arrival will mark a turning point of grace, breakthrough, and fulfilment of divine promises.

Join DiscourseWeigh in on these and other stories by becoming a Science of Sport Discourse member with a small monthly pledgeShow notesThis week on the Spotlight, we dive into the latest Discourse Digest, unpacking talking points in the news.We begin with the Tour de France Femmes, where Pauline Ferrand-Prévot sealed a dominant win, and then her open discussion about intentional weight loss to improve climbing performance sparked wider conversation. Ross and Gareth explore the science and the risks, contrasting PFP's short-term approach with Demi Vollering's “health first” philosophy. We learn from other athletes about "body composition periodization" and share some caution, but also recognition, that elite athletes do "go there" for performance.In track, a new teen sensation has arrived: Cooper Lutkenhaus, just 16, stunned the world with a massive U16 World Record to finish second at the USA 800m trials. He is already the real deal, but that's no guarantee that he's not another star whose flame might flicker. We talk performance trends, hype, and the pitfalls of early stardom.There's also some heat on the track—of a different kind—as sprinters Noah Lyles and Kenny Bednarek engage in a bit of spicy back-and-forth. Genuine beef or PR play? Either way, it's getting people talking.Then we turn to IV drips—vitamin infusions marketed as wellness boosts. Ross and Gareth aren't buying it, calling out the pseudo-science, health risks, and the doping red flags. We also tackle criticism of World Athletics' SRY gene screen for eligibility in women's athletics. Ross breaks down what the critic got wrong and why women's sport deserves constructive criticism and alternative solutions rather than unproductive, false dismissals of proposed solutions. A lively disagreement ensues - let us know your thoughts!And finally—smelling salts banned in the NFL. Players are upset, but should other sports follow? Tune in for all this and more.LinksPFP and Vollering talk about weight, performance and healthTrent S' paper on body composition periodization - how to do it: short term, controlled and fully aware of the risk factorsLetsrun recap of the US TrialsThe article critical of the SRY screen.

Jeff Levine joins us to break down one of the most surprising features of the new tax law: a brand-new type of deduction that could significantly change the way we think about AGI thresholds, phaseouts, and entity planning. In this episode, we unpack how the latest changes in the tax code are opening up advanced strategies for clients, and where financial planners need to stay sharp to avoid stealth cliffs and missed opportunities. Key Topics Covered: The new above-the-line deduction and who can benefit Planning around AGI phaseouts and stealth tax cliffs Leveraging non-grantor trusts for charitable and income planning Avoiding estate planning complacency amid exemption increases Rethinking entity structure in light of expanded QSBS rules Resources: Planning after tax changes Podcast: BBB Crossover Special A summary for tax planning This episode is brought to you by the AICPA's Personal Financial Planning Section, the premier provider of information, tools, advocacy, and guidance for professionals who specialize in providing tax, estate, retirement, risk management and investment planning advice.

At our Warfare Wednesday Service, Pastor Femi delivered a stirring exhortation titled GOD-SENT HELPER, drawing from Isaiah 50:7 and 2 Samuel 9. He began by unpacking the idea that a “God-sent” helper is not just any support but a timely, divinely orchestrated lifeline that shows up when human effort reaches its limit. Using David's encounter with Mephibosheth as a vivid illustration, PFP reminded us that even in barren places like Lo Debar - the symbolic land of dryness, delay and obscurity - God's kindness can find you, lift you, and restore all that was lost. He asked a piercing question: Can you even recognise your helper? Because sometimes, divine help looks ordinary, and other times, it may be delayed by unseen battles. PFP led the church into warfare prayers, declaring that in this month of August, God will send the particular help we need, not just help in general, but help that aligns with our purpose, healing and restoration. Expect to be remembered, restored, and repositioned at the King's table.

De Kopgroep kijkt met een vleugje weemoed terug op de laatste Touretappe. We nemen afscheid van een maand lang Frankrijk, maar genoten van opnieuw een dag vol koers. En dat mede dankzij Anna van der Breggen. De ervaren renster -maar Tourdebutant- besloot al vroeg in de aanval te gaan. Mart noemt het een wanhoopspoging, maar Ellen en Jip vinden het tactisch een goede zet. Als je het op kracht niet kunt, dan moet je op de verrassing spelen. Ook lof voor PFP of PauPau die de Fransen een Touroverwinning bezorgd. Maar het feestje bij de cermonie? Dat kan beter. Daarnaast aandacht voor Sarah Gigante. Haar -gebrek aan- daalkunsten zijn veelbesproken en kosten haar nu ook een plek in de top van het klassement. Ellen en Mart bespreken hoe bizar het is dat zij hier nu haatberichten op social media over krijgt. Jip en Ellen leggen uit hoe je wél de perfecte bocht neemt en wat je hieraan kan leren. Verder een terugblik op deze bewogen Tour en nog aandacht voor madame 69: Mischa Bredewold. Ellen weet uit eigen ervaar hoe sterk deze renster is en voorspelt: daar wij gaan we nog heel veel horen. Dat en meer in deze nieuwe aflevering, luisteren maar!

Het parcours van de laatste etappe van de Tour de Femmes leende zich voor een coupe en die kwam er ook. Pauline Ferrand-Prévot gaf haar eindzege extra glans met winst in de slotrit, maar Sarah Gigante verloor in de afdaling van de Joux Plane haar podiumplek. Demi Vollering zette een stapje omhoog en is best of the rest. In deze aflevering van In Het Wiel heeft Niek Goedvolk het met Roxane Knetemann over boegbeeld PFP. Welke sport gaat ze nu doen? En we horen van verslaggever Daan Hakkenberg waarom Rox bij haar voormalig ploeggenoten bekend staat als chef sfeerbeheer. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Pauline Ferrand-Prévot smijt met minuten op de Col de la Madeleine en neemt een enorme optie op eindwinst van de Tour de Femmes. Genoeg reden om deze aflevering van In Het Wiel (bijna) volledig aan haar te wijden. Niek Goedvolk heeft het met Roxane Knetemann over de renster Ferrand-Prévot, maar ook zeker over de mens. Roxane zat namelijk vijf jaar bij haar in de ploeg en heeft dus een paar mooie anekdotes voor deze podcast bewaard. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

At our Premium Worship and Prayers service, our Senior Pastor, Pastor Femi Paul, taught on the powerful subject “DIPSYCHOS”, the Greek word for Double Mindedness. Drawing from James 4:8 and James 1:7-8 (NKJV), he highlighted how a double minded person - undecided, wavering, or torn between loyalties - becomes unstable and unable to receive from the Lord. This message unpacks the dangers of inner conflict: struggling between faith and doubt, or trying to serve both God and self. Double mindedness leads to spiritual inconsistency, instability, and a lack of breakthrough. Through Psalm 119:113 in various translations (AMPC, TLB, CEB), PFP emphasised God's clear dislike for fickleness in devotion and called the church to a place of clarity, focus, and faithfulness in our walk with God. The message was a soul searching invitation to align our hearts with God's word and will. We then entered into a powerful time of worship, offering up worship before God's throne, with a singular purpose to lift Him above everything else.

www.practicallyfriendspodcast.compracticallyfriendspodcast@gmail.comBefore another classic episode, few components of the PFP crew* collaborated to discuss their favorite (and, some not so favorite) Christmas (or... 'X-Mas') movies in the hot, wet month of July.We know this episode may hit a little different, but it allowed us the opportunity to 'ease' back into casting during our busy lives. In tandem with continuing classic PFP content (slowly, but surely...), we will be starting a new mini-series concentrating on the subject matter of cinema. working name, of said mini-series, is 'Once a Year Watch', please listen in for PFP Episode 111 (OYW Ep.1): 'X-Mas in July' ~~~*Kyle, Deb, Garrettthank you for all cinema content discussed. without said content, this episode isn't possible.

At today's Prayer & Praise Midweek Service, Pastor Femi Paul shared a powerful word titled "Power of Recognition – Helps You Know Things for Sure!” PFP taught that recognition is the gateway to clarity and fulfilment. Without it, we stumble through life in trial and error. He highlighted four key areas we must learn to recognise: ourselves, our enemies, the right time, and the Lord. He led the church to pray: “Holy Spirit, teach me to recognise my opportuned times, so I never miss any one of them again, in Jesus' name. Amen!” “From now on, Lord, may I always recognise the right time for every important thing in life, so I can soar, in Jesus' name!”

At our vibrant Youth Sunday Service, Pastor Femi Paul brought us a rousing word titled “In Spite of It All!” A message of hope, resilience, and divine destiny. He anchored the message on Job 8:7 (NKJV), reminding us that no matter how small or humble the beginning, God has promised a future that is prosperous, successful, and extraordinary. Using the story of Gideon (Judges 7:4–7 NKJV), we saw how God does not need a crowd to bring victory. He just needs the right few. PFP also highlighted Jesus (John 6:42 NLT), whose background did not match the magnitude of His divine calling. The world may have questioned His origin, but purpose prevailed. Jesus is the ultimate template for our youth, destined to rise and shine in spite of limitations, labels, or humble beginnings. Pastor ended with a prophetic declaration from Job 8:7 in multiple versions, praying that: - Your humble beginning will give way to abundant increase (NKJV) - Your past will be eclipsed by a brighter, extraordinary future (CEV, CEB) - You will become very great and successful according to God's plan
