As we close out this sermon series, we’re reminded of the foundational teachings of Jesus that can lift our nation and bring glory to God. In His final journey to Jerusalem, Jesus knew He was about to be arrested and crucified, but His disciples were distracted by their desire for power and status. Instead of grasping for authority, Jesus calls us to serve with humility, not to lord power over others. This message is as relevant today as ever. What will we do with the influence and resources God has entrusted to us? Let’s learn from Jesus’ example and make a difference in our communities.

In this message from our series, We The People, we dive deep into the role Christians and the local church play in the recovery of our nation. Often, we find ourselves waiting for national leaders to take charge, but real change starts with “we,” not “they.” Through Scripture, history, and a call for action, we explore what it means to take personal responsibility for the nation’s recovery, both spiritually and morally.

We challenge believers to conduct a fearless moral inventory and declare their dependence on God, recognizing that national healing begins when we turn back to God and His guidance. Join us in this thought-provoking sermon that highlights the power of collective faith, responsibility, and humility in the recovery of both individuals and nations.
