✨️ Sabbath Sermon Highlights ✨️
Deacon Lloyd Smith
Theme: “Lord, Send Thy Spirit!”
2 Chronicles 7:14 📖
"If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land."

There is darkness in the world, yet all of animal creation obeys the Heavenly Father. The challenge remains for mankind to do what God has commanded.👈🏾

Deacon Lloyd reminded us of the importance of truly keeping God's Sabbath—not just in part, but for the full 24 hours. He called upon all locations across the globe to be united in worship, meditation, and gratitude. As we enter the third hour, let our minds be focused on God's goodness and His many blessings.💙

He encouraged us to come ready to worship, ready to lift our voices in song with "I Love Thy Church, O God," and to remember we are bringing our gifts to the alter! 🙌🏾

The Lord knows what we are going through. He is looking for us to have faith—even faith the size of a mustard seed.

We were reminded that God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.

Remarks: Elder Craig Sales 🔥🔥🔥
We are not here to give lukewarm praise. People shout for games and concerts; how much more should God's people praise Him? From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same, the Lord's name is to be praised❗️❗️❗️"

🎶 I just want to thank you, Lord. 🎶

Happy Sabbath 🙏🏾

✨️Sabbath Sermon Highlights ✨️
Elder Raymond Madison Jr.
Theme: “It Hurts, But I’m Here!”
2 Corinthians 12:7-9 KJV📖

All of us are going through something. Paul called it a “thorn in the flesh” — that thing that keeps piercing, pressing, and reminding us of pain.

A thorn can be a doctor’s report, an unanswered prayer, grief, depression, recurring battles, or even pain in the body. It can try to convince us that our better days are behind us.

Paul prayed three times for the thorn to be removed, but God answered, “My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness.”

👉🏾The thorn may still be there, but so is God’s grace.
👉🏾The pain may still be present, but God is still strengthening.
👉🏾Instead of focusing on the thorn, remember this: God’s grace has kept you.

It hurts, but I’m here — only by the grace of God.

🗣🗣Let God be sufficient.
He is more than enough❗️❗️

🎶You know that God in the midst of us is MIGHTY🎶

Happy Sabbath 🙏🏾
