Speaker: Pastor Derrel Strickland

Hey everyone! This week's message from Pastor Strickland was all about walking by faith and not by sight. He reminded us that our faith isn't blind; it's rooted in spiritual understanding and knowledge. 'This do in remembrance of me' is a powerful statement that Pastor Strickland encouraged us to reflect on, especially when partaking in communion. He emphasized that even when we don't see or feel it, God is always at work. The sermon also touched on the importance of not being spiritually ignorant, highlighting lessons from Romans 11 and 1 Corinthians 10. Pastor Strickland reassured us that despite uncertainties, our faith in God keeps us from living in fear. He concluded with a reminder that Jesus is coming again, so let's stay steadfast and encourage one another with these words. The core message: Trust in God's timing and His continuous work in our lives.
