DIVINE SUNDAY SERVICE - FIRST SUNDAY OF MAY, 2026
PREACHER: APOSTLE U. W. EKOMEYEN
THEME: THE FINISHED WORK OF CHRIST ON THE CROSS
TEXT: JOHN 10, COLOSSIANS 2:15, ROMANS 1:15
INTRODUCTION:
The finished work of Christ on the cross brought salvation and deliverance to mankind. Through His death and resurrection, Jesus completed the work of redemption and gave believers access to power, victory, and a new identity in Him.
MESSAGE:
The Power of the Cross:
• The work of the cross brings salvation
• Through the cross, believers were given power
• The sacrifice of Jesus secured victory for all who believe
The Release of Power to Believers:
• Jesus gave His disciples power three times in the Bible
a) When He resurrected
b) When He ascended
c) When He sent the Holy Spirit
• These moments represent the full release of divine authority to believers
• The Holy Spirit empowers believers to live and walk in that power
The Identity of Sons:
• Those who hold on to Christ with all their heart are given power
• They are called the sons of God
• This identity gives believers boldness and assurance in Christ
Victory Over Principalities:
• Principalities and satanic powers were taken captive through Christ
• The victory recorded in Colossians 2:15 shows that Jesus defeated the powers of darkness
• Believers now stand in that victory and authority through Him
CALL TO ACTION:
Hold firmly to Christ and believe in His finished work. Walk in the power given to you and live in the reality of your identity as a child of God.
PRAYER:
Father, thank You for the finished work of Christ on the cross. Help me to walk in the power You have given me. Strengthen my faith and help me to live in the victory of Christ every day. In Jesus’ name, Amen 🙏
