Live Sunday Worship Service 5.3.2026

Faith Tabernacle Church Los AngelesMay 2026

A Sunday service focused on the Great Commission and becoming a healthier church: worship and communion, a reminder to give as worship, then a sermon on Matthew 28 emphasizing the summons to return to Jesus, the declaration that Christ has all authority, and the commission to make disciples—baptize and teach obedience—followed by practical application: discipleship is lifelong, church health depends on loving God and people, expect persecution, rely on the Holy Spirit, and commit to partnership with God in evangelism and local mission.

RCC Chicago #Blueprints Bible Study |

Reformation Culture ChurchJul 2026

A Bible-study sermon based on Numbers 13 that frames spiritual warfare as primarily a battle over self-perception. The speaker contrasts fear-filtered interpretations of facts with a faith-filtered posture (exemplified by Caleb and Joshua), calls the church to embrace an identity rooted in God's promises, and issues practical calls to prayer, evangelism, stewardship, and readiness to possess the promised land (including a local property initiative).

The Plough Is Central | Robert Fergusson | Hillsong Church Australia

Hillsong ChurchJun 2026

Using the plough as a central metaphor (Luke 9:62), Robert Fergusson urges the church to prioritize humble, committed service: it’s not glamorous, optional, or convenient. Effective kingdom work requires God’s grace, stewardship across generations, perseverance, patience and excellence. He commends volunteers as the unseen foundation of the church, links faithful service to future harvest, and closes with a gospel invitation.
