SUNDAY SERMON – PASTOR FESTUS KORIR
TOPIC: CHANGE YOUR GARMENT
📅 16th November 2025
Today’s powerful message came from Zechariah 3:3–4, reminding us that just like Joshua, God is calling us to remove the filthy garments of sin, shame, and limitation—and to wear new garments of righteousness, favor, and purpose.
“See, I have taken away your sin, and I will put fine garments on you.”
— Zechariah 3:4
Why Change Your Garment?
Because you have been called. God cannot elevate you while you’re still wearing the garment of your past. When God calls you, He changes your identity.
