The Power of the Cross


Listen Later

In today’s sermon, Apostle Alfred Williams begins a focused teaching series on the power of the cross—running through to Pentecost—because ignorance is one of the enemy’s strongest weapons against God’s people (Hosea 4:6). He confronts popular but destructive teachings that trade on fear (including “generational curses” and other sensational doctrines), insisting that true prosperity is not a money-hype scheme, but the work of Christ in a believer’s life. Apostle calls the church back to knowledge, maturity and biblical thinking—so believers stop seeking “power” from liars when salvation already carries divine power.


This sermon is anchored in Colossians 1:13–14: God rescued us from the dominion (jurisdiction) of darkness, translated us into the kingdom of His Son, and granted redemption and forgiveness of sins. From there Apostle explains spiritual “jurisdiction” through Ephesians 2:1–6—we once lived under the ruler of the air, but God, rich in mercy, made us alive, raised us up, and seated us with Christ in heavenly places—meaning Satan has no legal authority over a born-again believer. This is reinforced further in Galatians 5:1 and John 8:36: Christ has already set us free, so submitting to fear-based “deliverance” doctrine is stepping back into bondage.

Finally, he addresses the often-misquoted curses passage in Exodus 20:3–6, showing it applies to those who hate God, while God promises covenant mercy to a thousand generations of those who love Him. The sermon closes as a clear call to repentance and clean living: come to Jesus sincerely, reject darkness, stand firm in grace—and let the cross settle your identity once and for all: you are redeemed, you are free, and you are not under any curse
