“"you shall live and not die and you shall proclaim the works of the lord."”
Pastor Leslie teaches that God often meets us in ordinary life through people and circumstances — especially through community and hospitality — and warns that comparison, living in the past, hurry, and self-sufficiency can make us miss God. Using the Shunammite woman's encounter with the prophet as the central example, she explains that God names and meets deep longings (sometimes miraculously and despite our unbelief) and calls listeners to name their needs, return to community, and trust God's timing.
“I shall not die, but live; I shall live to declare the glory of God.”
A Sunday service focused on prayer as the believer's solution. The preacher outlines five conditions for answered prayer—being saved, exercising faith, obedience, a forgiving spirit, and asking according to God’s will—then leads the congregation through Scripture-based prayer points for deliverance from temptation, spiritual awakening, strength by the Holy Spirit, humility and casting anxieties on God, and corporate enablement for the church.
“I will not die; I shall live to declare the works/glory of the Lord in the land of the living.”

“The stone that the builders rejected (applied to the Lord).”
Pastor Mark E. Lewis preaches from Genesis 27 on the theme "Broken But Still Blessed," showing how Jacob—flawed and deceptive—is nonetheless the recipient of God's blessing, and calling listeners to embrace authenticity, rely on God's timing, and receive God's grace and salvation.
“and what the stone that the builders refuse become chief of the corner”
A theological teaching on 'irresistible grace' explaining that salvation is entirely God's work (monergistic regeneration): grace is unmerited, transforms the dead heart into a willing heart, and secures the believer from start to glorification.
“This is the Lord's doing. It's marvelous in our eyes.”
A multi‑speaker licensing service in which five new preachers preached brief sermons on trusting God in hardship, being kept by God, rejoicing through trials, standing against spiritual darkness, and serving the least of these.

“"This is the day that the Lord has made. Let's be glad."”
The preacher taught that sometimes the most faithful action is to stop striving, relax your grip, and let God work. By practicing 'active waiting'—trusting God's sovereignty rather than reacting in fear or control—we gain peace amid chaos and allow God to move on our behalf.
“We'll say this is the day that I love; we rejoice for he has made me glad.”
A Sunday worship service combining extended praise, intercessory prayer, pastoral announcements and a Bible message focused on Psalm 23 (and related Psalms). The preacher uses the metaphor of sheep and shepherd to call believers to know God personally, trust his provision, embrace holiness, receive more of Christ’s gifts (forgiveness, love, power) and then give those gifts away. Service elements include offerings, baby dedications, ministry updates and a charge to be doers of the Word.
“this is a day that the Lord has made we can be glad and rejoice in it”

“This is the day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.”
A Bible-study style exhortation teaching that Christ has redeemed believers from the curse of the law and that Christians must learn and enforce their spiritual rights—speaking to conditions and taking authority over curses (sickness, poverty, spiritual oppression) rather than only praying and waiting. The sermon combines doctrinal explanation with practical examples and a call to study, confess, and act in faith.

“"Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord."”
Pastor Steve Wilburn's Palm Sunday message "His Plan" (John 11–12) explains how Jesus intentionally delays, demonstrates costly devotion, and receives public praise as part of God's redemptive purpose. Using Lazarus' resurrection, Mary's costly anointing, and the triumphal entry, he shows that God's timing displays glory, true worship costs, and public acclaim can be fleeting. The sermon issues a call to repentance, invites attenders to Good Friday and Easter services, and offers new-believer resources.
