In this teaching on suffering and enduring as a spiritual soldier, Pastor Stevens reminds believers that we need to uphold the standard of God's Word, truth. Through the Word of God, Pastor Stevens reminds us that suffering, a word many don't like to hear, is a principle of the Kingdom. We must remember that our Kingdom responsibilities supersede the affairs of daily life; they take priority over everything else including our own will in life. As a solider within God's Kingdom, we are a part of His team, we shouldn't function as mere individuals. The question we should ask ourselves, recognizing the will of God, is do we 'buy' into Kingdom or are we just content to live our own separate lives? (Part 2 of 3).

In this message, Pastor Stevens shares how the apostle Paul is preparing Timothy, his spiritual son, for the rigors and responsible for ministry. For Timothy, he faced opposition as a leader as he had the responsibility of shepherding a flock with some members who weren't pliable and willing to do the will of God. As believers, we must be willing to constantly endure hardship, adjust our lives to following God's way and forsake our own will. (Part 3 of 3)

Many used to look at the church as the center of community involvement, however the church is loosing its relevance. Relevance must come back to the church The church must be transforming, changing things from bad to good and restorative to bring things back to its intended purposes. We must ask ourselves as believers and within our local fellowships, when people need help, why aren't they drawn to the Church? We should continually be light of the world that always shine (Part 1 of 2).

If the world can do exactly what we do then what makes us different? We've become content with "doing good things". Do we do these good things because God said so and to win people to the kingdom or do we make it an end in itself? If that's the case, all you've created is social service and you already have your reward. Serving is not physical and social -- serving is first spiritual (Part 3 of 3).
