*Preacher*: Elder Professor Evans Boamah
*Title*: David and Goliath
*Scriptures*: 1 Samuel 17:1–46; 1 Peter 2:2

*~Anointing requires preparation.*
Being anointed does not mean we are immediately ready for our appointment. Like David, we must grow through the small responsibilities God gives us.

*~Take care of what God has entrusted to you*.
We must learn to care for God’s people and His church just as David faithfully cared for his father’s sheep. Sometimes We often become excited about reaching heaven while neglecting the responsibilities God has already placed before us. If we cannot handle the little things, how can God entrust us with greater things?

**~ Do not allow negativity to stop you. **
Most of the time, negativity can come from our own homes and from the people closest to us rather than from strangers. David was discouraged by his brothers and Saul, but he did not allow their words to defeat him. Instead, he remembered how God had helped him defeat the lion and the bear. We must reflect on our past victories and remember what God has brought us through, because doing so strengthens our faith and gives us courage for the battles ahead.

*~Prayer is our weapon.*
When challenges come, we must return to God in prayer rather than depending only on people or worldly solutions.

*~Use what God has given you.*
David rejected Saul’s armour because it was not what he was accustomed to. We must trust the gifts, faith, and spiritual weapons God has given us.

*~Share your testimony.*
Your testimony can encourage others and open doors. Always remember and share what God has done for you for it may be the very thing that opens the next door.

*~Spiritual growth is necessary.*
According to 1 Peter 2:2, we must desire spiritual nourishment so that we can grow in Christ. Being born again is only the beginning ; our works, growth, obedience, and relationship with Christ afterward will determine whether we are truly prepared to have a place in His Kingdom and to meet Him in the heavenly realm.

*~Preparing for the second coming of Christ.*
We cannot remain spiritually the same as when we first accepted Christ. We must grow, surrender ourselves to God, pray, and examine our lives. Reflection matters because it helps us recognise where we are spiritually, identify what needs to change, and prepare ourselves to be worthy of our place in God’s Kingdom.

*~Conclusion*
The story of David and Goliath reminds us that our battles are opportunities to see God’s power at work. David was prepared through the small things before he faced the giant. In the same way, God is preparing us for greater things. As we wait for the Second Coming of Christ, let us reject negativity, remember our testimonies, remain prayerful, and continue growing spiritually. The fact that we are still alive means God is not finished with us. Therefore, let us surrender ourselves fully to Christ and live each day ready to meet Him.

Speaker: Elder Paul Forson
Topic: Living for Eternity
Scriptures: 2 Corinthians 5:9–10; 1 Corinthians 3:13–15; Revelation 22:12; 1 Corinthians 9:24–27; 1 Thessalonians 2:19–20; James 1:12; Matthew 22:1–14; Luke 18:9–14.

Introduction
~ Christ is coming, so we must always be prepared. Regardless of different views about the Rapture and Tribulation, the important thing is to live ready for Christ’s return.
~(2 Corinthians 5:9–10 )teaches that we will all appear before Christ and give an account of what we have done.

1. Different between salvation and rewards
Our salvation comes through Christ and His finished work, not through our good works.
However, our works as believers will be evaluated and rewarded.
~Salvation is a gift through Christ whiles rewards are connected to our works and faithfulness.

2. The Bema Seat of Christ
The Bema Seat refers to the judgment seat of Christ where believers’ works will be evaluated.
(1 Corinthians 3:13–15 )explains that our works will be tested by fire. Some works will survive and receive a reward, while others will be burned up and suffer loss.

~ But the important question is:
“What did I do with the life, gifts, opportunities and talents God gave me?”
Therefore, we should not only aim to be saved but also aim to live faithfully and finish Christ’s work.

4. Eternal Rewards — The Crowns
Every believer’s reward will be given to him/her in the form of crowns;
~The Imperishable Crown
For discipline, self-control and intentional living for Christ.
(1 Corinthians 9:24–27, Hebrews 12 :1)

~The Crown of Rejoicing
For winning souls and building people’s lives.
(1 Thessalonians 2:19–20)

~The Crown of Righteousness
For those who love and long for Christ’s appearing.

~*The Crown of Trials or life *
For those who remain faithful through trials.
(James 1:12)

*We must be prepared *
~(Matthew 22:1–14 )reminds us that being invited is not enough. We must be properly prepared and live according to God’s will.
Also,
~(Luke 18:9–14 )teaches us not to depend on our own righteousness. Like the tax collector, we must remain humble and continually depend on God’s mercy.

Conclusion
The message of Living for Eternity is to keep our eyes on Christ and live intentionally.
We are saved by Christ, but our works will be evaluated at the Bema Seat. Therefore, let us serve faithfully, win souls, invest in people, endure trials, remain disciplined and be ready for Christ’s return.

Prayer Highlights of our Sunday Service and Sermon in Summary below;

*Preacher*: Elder Daniel Apraku
*Topic*: The coming of Jesus
*Scriptures*: Acts 17,1 Thessalonians,2 Thessalonians,Matthew 24, Revelation 6 & 9:16,Romans 8:18

~Paul wrote 1 and 2 Thessalonians to encourage believers to remain strong in the faith and to prepare for the coming of Jesus Christ.

~The first coming refers to the incarnation of Christ.
The Holy Spirit came upon Mary, and she conceived and gave birth to Jesus. Jesus lived among humanity, carried out His earthly ministry, died for our sins, was resurrected, and ascended into heaven.

~Jesus came the first time to save us, and He has promised to come again. His second coming includes ;
1. The Rapture of the Saints
2. The Tribulation
3. The Millennial Reign of Christ
4. The establishment of the new Jerusalem

~In Matthew 24 and Revelation 6, we are warned about wars, famine, earthquakes, suffering, and other signs. These warnings remind us that we must always be prepared. But the main question is “Are you ready for His coming?”

~Going to church, knowing the Bible, or being involved in ministry does not automatically make us children of God. We need a genuine and personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
We should examine our lives, live according to God’s Word, and remain faithful to Him.

*Conclusion*
Jesus is coming again. Let us not be distracted by the things of this world. Let us repent, remain faithful, and prepare ourselves to meet Him ,for he will come like a thief in the night.

Speaker : Rev. Dr. Michael Osei

*Topic*: Stay Awake for Christ’s Return
*Scriptures*

* 1 Thessalonians 4:13–18
* 1 Corinthians 15:35–55
* Revelation 1:14–16
* 2 Peter 3:8–9
* 2 Timothy 3:1–5
* 2 Corinthians 5:10
* 1 Corinthians 3:11–15
* Revelation 6,8,16

*Introduction*
Jesus Christ is coming again, and believers must stay spiritually awake and faithful until His return.

1. God Is Real and Holy

God is loving and patient, but He is also holy and righteous. We must not take His grace for granted. (Revelation 1:14-16 )reminds us of the majesty and glory of the risen Christ, whose eyes are like blazing fire and whose face shines like the sun.This shows that he is not always loving ,but portrays his other side, which is scary and beyond imagination. He is being patient with us, for He wants none of us to perish but to repent from our bad deeds.(2Peter 3:8-9)

2. The Church Age
We are living in the Church Age, a time when many may fall away from the faith. Believers are called to remain steadfast despite temptation, persecution, and the moral decline of the world (2 Timothy 3:1–5).

The Rapture( being caught up or drawn away)*
According to 1 Thessalonians 4:13–18, believers who have died in Christ will rise first, and living believers will be caught up to meet the Lord in the air. God will transform our earthly bodies into glorified bodies that are free from sin, sickness, pain, and death (1 Corinthians 15:35–55).

*The Tribulation*
After the rapture, the earth will experience a period of severe judgment and suffering described in Revelation 6,8 ,16. This reminds us of the urgency of repentance and evangelism for God is not to be joked with.

*The Judgment Seat of Christ*
Every believer will stand before Christ to receive rewards according to their faithfulness (2 Corinthians 5:10). God will judge not only our actions but also the motives behind them (1 Corinthians 3:11–15).

(*The Three T’s )Determines Our Rewards*
~*Time*
How are we using our time for God? Time spent in prayer, worship, service, and evangelism has eternal value.

~*Talent*
God has given each believer gifts and abilities to serve His Kingdom. We must not hide our talents but use them faithfully for His glory.

~*Treasure*
Our finances reveal where our hearts are. We should invest in God’s work, support the church, and use our resources to advance His Kingdom.

*Conclusion*
As believers, we must live every day prepared for Christ’s return. Let us remain faithful, use our time, talents, and treasure to serve God wholeheartedly, and persevere in our faith so that we may receive the rewards He has prepared for those who remain steadfast.
