Scripture: John 9:4

Objective:

We honor and glorify God, recognizing His mighty power at work even in life’s most difficult moments. Each day is a gift, not to be taken for granted, as hardship and loss can arrive without warning. Drawing from John 9:4, we are reminded to fulfill God’s mission while we still have time and opportunity. The message encourages us to stay alert and willing to move when God leads, not just remain in comfort zones.

Speaker: Sr. Pastor Richard Parks

Scripture: Luke 12:16

Objective:

Scripture reminds us that nothing hidden stays secret and warns us to fear God, not just those who can harm the body. It warns against greed, teaching that life isn’t about gaining possessions. Jesus’ parable of the rich man shows the foolishness of hoarding wealth for self instead of using it for God.

The message urges us to focus on eternal things, not temporary ones, and to use our resources for God’s kingdom. True fulfillment comes from serving God, not chasing worldly riches.
