“Anyone who has been stealing must steal no longer, but must work, doing something useful with their own hands that they may have something to share with those in need.”
A Sunday service focused on trusting God and adopting the mind of Christ — moving from intellectual belief to active trust, dying to sin, choosing others above self, and intentionally renewing the mind. The service also included testimony on vulnerability and healing, practical teaching on stewardship/giving, corporate worship, prayer, and communion.
“"work with our hands, the thing that is good, so that we have something to give to him who needs."”
A sermon on Mark 4 emphasizing kingdom principles: the parable of the sower and the seed that grows. The pastor teaches that the 'seed' is the Word/what we say — spoken faith and repeated confession plant truth in the heart, producing spiritual fruit. He applies the parable to hearing rightly, guarding against cares and love of money, evangelism, stewardship, healing, family life, and practical kingdom living.
“Verse 28 says let him who steals steal no more ... put off is stop stealing; put on is go get a job.”
Pastor Steve Wilburn (Core Church LA) preaches from Ephesians 4 on how Christians are to "learn to walk" with Christ: beware false teaching, lay aside the old sinful ways, and intentionally put on the new, Christlike life. He calls believers to mature discipleship by testing teaching against Scripture, repenting, replacing harmful habits (lies, crude speech, theft, uncontrolled anger) with truth, kindness, work, forgiveness, and holiness, and issues an invitation for spiritual renewal.
“The bible says 'let him that stone steal no more' (paraphrase of 'let him that stole steal no more').”
A Sunday service sermon calling believers to a transformed, disciplined Christian life — a 'new walk' marked by repentance, holiness, and practical change of habits. The preacher urged the congregation to 'do your first work' (return to first love), put off the old sinful patterns, walk circumspectly, and live visibly as ambassadors for Christ. The service also included health updates, testimonies, baptisms, encouragements to care for one another, and corporate prayer for healing and restoration.
