God Is with Us • Sunday Service

In this hour, as we witness the unfolding of events that echo the prophecies of old, we as believers must remain steadfast in our faith. The world is changing rapidly; many are grappling with uncertainty, fear, and confusion. However, the Word of God offers us profound encouragement and guidance for these last days. Our faith, which has always been the bedrock of our relationship with God, must be strengthened and refined as we approach the culmination of time. Let us delve into the Scriptures to gain wisdom and encouragement for these times, ensuring that our faith remains unwavering and our discernment keen.

1. Hebrews 11:1 (NKJV): "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen."

2. Matthew 24:12 (NKJV): "And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold."

3. 2 Timothy 3:1-2 (NKJV): "But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy..."

4. 1 Peter 4:7 (NKJV): "But the end of all things is at hand; therefore be serious and watchful in your prayers."

5. James 1:6 (NKJV): "But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind."

6. 2 Corinthians 5:7 (NKJV): "For we walk by faith, not by sight."

7. Revelation 3:10 (NKJV): "Because you have kept My command to persevere, I also will keep you from the hour of trial which shall come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth."

8. Ephesians 6:16 (NKJV): "Above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one."

9. Romans 8:18 (NKJV): "For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us."

Beloved, as we journey through these last days, let us hold fast to our faith with unwavering conviction. Be discerning, watchful, and prayerful. Let us not be swayed by the growing lawlessness and moral decay around us but rather be shining examples of Christ’s love and righteousness. Embrace the promises of God and let your faith be a beacon of hope and strength. In every trial and challenge, remember that our faith is our greatest asset. It sustains us, protects us, and assures us of the glory that awaits. May we stand firm in our faith, wise in our discernment, and bold in our witness as we navigate these final days before the Lord’s return. Amen.
