What a wonderful day in the house of the Lord!
Sunday Morning – Pastor Don White
Pastor preached from Numbers 13–14 on the danger of having a “grasshopper mentality.” When the spies returned from Canaan, ten of them focused on the size of the giants instead of the size of their God. Fear and unbelief caused them to see their problems as bigger than God’s promises.
Pastor reminded us that when difficulties arise, we often forget what God has already done. The children of Israel witnessed God’s protection through the plagues, the darkness in Egypt, and the first Passover when the blood on their doorposts kept them safe. Just as God protected them, we do not have to live in fear because we have Jesus.
He encouraged us to keep our eyes on Christ, allow God to mold us into His image, and remember that we are fearfully and wonderfully made. We must resist comparison, trust God’s plan for our lives, remain faithful in the waiting seasons, and believe that God has a purpose and an expected end for each of us. No problem is bigger than our God, and His promises are still true today.
Sunday Evening – Bishop Wayne Ison
Bishop Ison brought a powerful message from Philippians 4:3 on being a “true yokefellow.” He taught that God’s people were never intended to walk alone but to work together in unity for the Kingdom of God.
A true yokefellow is someone who helps carry burdens, strengthens others, and remains faithful in the work of the Lord. Throughout Scripture, we see examples of people yoked together for God’s purpose: Moses and Aaron, David and Jonathan, Zerubbabel and Joshua, Paul and Barnabas, Paul and Timothy, and Paul and Silas.
Bishop reminded us that churches are strongest when believers are united. Young and old, pastors and lay members, men and women all have a role to play in the harvest. Just as two oxen yoked together can accomplish more than one alone, God’s people can do far more when they labor together in harmony.
He challenged us to be partners in the Gospel, helping one another through life’s battles, carrying ministry burdens together, and seeking God’s will as one body. The Kingdom of God advances through partnership, unity, and faithful laborers who are willing to work side by side for the glory of God.
We are thankful for the messages shared this Sunday and pray that we will continue to trust God’s promises, reject the grasshopper mentality, and be true yokefellows in the work of His Kingdom. ❤️🙏
