In this sermon, David Wilkerson emphasizes that the Holy Spirit was sent to continue Christ’s work of redemption by convicting the world of sin and empowering believers to be witnesses. He warns against ignorance of the Holy Spirit’s true purpose, the abuse of spiritual gifts, and false teachings that deny Christ’s deity. Christians must test all things against Scripture, maintain a passion for God’s Word and prayer, and allow the Holy Spirit to give them a burden for reaching the lost.

In this exhortative sermon, Joshua West explains that those who genuinely believe that Jesus is the Christ and Son of God are born of God and will overcome the world. He outlines three key evidences of being born of God: confessing Jesus as the Christ, loving God and fellow believers, and obeying God's commandments out of love rather than burden. Christians overcome the world not by their own works, but through faith in Christ's completed work on the cross. Joshua West also highlights the unique testimony of the Spirit, water, and blood that affirms Jesus' divinity and sacrificial death. Eternal life is found exclusively in Jesus Christ, and those who put their faith in Him will lose their life for His sake but ultimately gain true, everlasting life.

In this sermon, Gary Wilkerson shares the story of Leah from Genesis 29 to illustrate how praise has the final word in our lives, even when we face rejection, loneliness, and difficult circumstances. He emphasizes that while it's important to have close relationships and feel loved by others, our deepest needs can only be met by God Himself. This message encourages Christians to fight for their praise, recognizing that the enemy wants to steal it away. No matter what challenges come, believers can choose to continually praise God, knowing that He sees them, hears them, and will never abandon them. Praising God amid trials demonstrates our faith and trust in Him.
