“Those who water others will also themselves be watered.”
A Sunday service combining worship, prayer, testimonies and announcements, centered on Amy Orewing’s sermon asking “Whose son are you?” — a call to live in active sonship with God (Elohim, El Shaddai, Jehovah Jireh), receive provision, power and mission, plus invitations to respond in prayer.
“'Those that refresh others will themselves be refreshed' (Proverbs 11 paraphrase).”
The sermon teaches that shame is a core human wound—both psychological and social—and that Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection uniquely remove shame by restoring dignity and belonging. Practical freedom comes not from self-help or moralism alone but from encountering the gospel, receiving mercy, practicing confession and community, and participating in the church’s sacraments.
“A generous person will prosper. Whoever refreshes others will be refreshed.”
A New Year Sunday message calling the congregation to deny self, take up their cross daily, and enter a 21-day corporate season of prayer and fasting beginning Wednesday. The preacher taught from Luke 9:23 about the flesh vs. spirit, explained types and purposes of fasting, shared testimonies of breakthrough, and issued invitations for surrender, prayer, and participation in church life.
