He then focuses on two necessities for believers if they will endure to the end.

In this 7/17/16 message, Elder Michael Gowens begins by debunking Comparative Religion and its claim that Jesus Christ is not unique in human history, then proceeds to explore the three "Never a man" statements in the New Testament, showing that Jesus is indeed unique, as Prophet, Priest, and King.

The 7/24/16 sermon by Elder Michael Gowens is based on Psalm 116:7-9. Brother Mike begins the message by talking about the Psalmist's anxiety over his looming demise.
