CENTRAL THOUGHT God is concerned about the needs of those who trust and obey him. TEXT: Luke 12:22-31, 8:14, 21:34-36, 1 Peter 5:6-7 INTRODUCTION: Our heavenly father has great care and concern for every aspect of our lives, and has promised to provide all of our needs if we will but trust and obey Him. Life in general is attended with many cares. It was the desire of our Savior to get it across to His disciples and to us that God knows, understands, and is concerned with the legitimate cares of this life. There are not only legitimate cases, but also overburdening cares that we can become so heavily laden with that which will choke out the place that the word of God should have in our hearts and lives. When Jesus said “take no thought for your life”, He meant we should not allow it to be a heavy burden or to be anxious about it. He said this because He could have us to know that the Heavenly Father, the One who created us and brought us into this life really is dutiful in His concern for us to supply every need that we have. This message is surely a needed message now. If we look...

CENTRAL THOUGHT When we commit our battles to the Lord, victory is guaranteed. HYMN: STAND UP! STAND UP FOR JESUS! INTRODUCTION: Battle means fight or problems or threats or struggles or afflictions which everyone must contend with as long as there is breath in that individual. These battles can be physical, spiritual, financial, or otherwise and being a believer does not immune one from them. We suffer sickness, disease, emotional and physical pain, financial problems etc. The battle becomes more ferocious when orchestrated by the devil in his attempts to lure us away from serving the Almighty God. From our text, David was not a trained soldier so he could not use the armor of war that King Saul gave him. He depended wholly on God who delivered him from the lion and the bear to also deliver him from the uncircumcised Philistine. Thus, with five stones and a catapult, he overcame the giant who terrorized the army of Israel for forty days. It is sad to know that some Christians these days give up or quit in times of affliction instead of trusting God for divine intervention. The answer may delay but God will not deny us our blessings and victory. We must remind ourselves at this point...

  HYMN: ONWARD CHRISTIAN SOLDIER     CENTRAL THOUGHT Victory awaits the believer who patiently goes through difficult times.   TEXT: Job 3:1-26, Matt. 11:1-6 INTRODUCTION Ordinarily, the journey of life is characterized by confrontations, unforeseen contingencies, disappointments, harassment and oppositions. For the believer there is an added dimension to these because we are the targets of the devil who does not desire us to serve the Almighty God. Thus, he goes all the way to place obstacles in the way of the believer. The zero hour is that moment or situation of helplessness, hopelessness, despondency, despair, disgust, and utter confusion. These are the times of such remarks as “I am fed up”, “Life if not worth living”, “There is no use continuing”, “I am a failure”, etc. Amidst situations such as these, many contemplate all sorts of evil things such as visiting native doctors, joining occultic groups or even suicide. Some indulge in alcohol drinking and all manner of immorality and sin. Some believers too react negatively by backsliding and seeking false helps from unholy sources. John the Baptist was the forerunner of Jesus Christ (Luke 1:44); he introduced Him to the people as the Lamb of God that will take away the sin of the world, (John...
