“the gold belongs to you; the silver belongs to you.”
Bishop Smith preached on the importance of the soul, calling believers to a serious, intentional faith rooted in prayer, obedience, and stewardship. Using Jesus' confrontation with Peter and His agony in Gethsemane as the centerpiece, he warned about Satan's deception and spiritual forces, urged consistent giving and service, invited participation in church events and leadership, and closed with an urgent call to salvation and a personal Gethsemane experience of prayer and surrender.
“"Silver is his. The gold is his."”
A Bible study teaching that generosity must be a cultivated culture in apostolic churches, rooted first in surrender to Christ. The sermon unpacks 2 Corinthians 8 and Acts to define four dimensions of giving—tithe (firstness), offerings (willingness/sacrifice), benevolence (body-conscious care), and shared resources (internal economic support)—and gives practical safeguards and applications for building a generous, mission-ready church.
“You have all the silver and all the gold; all of the resources are from you, God (paraphrase of Haggai 2:8).”
Joshua preached “Victory Beyond the World’s Cup,” calling believers to pursue eternal victory through strict spiritual training, pure motives, imitation of Christ and godly leaders, nearness to God, committed evangelism and sacrificial giving for missions.
