June 28, 2020 Sermon: The Victorious Church

The Victorious Church Ephesians 1:15-23 Solid Rock Christian Fellowship The daily news is both disturbing and depressing. You can't help but get alarmed and wonder where our Nation is headed in the months ahead. Indeed, where are our lives and the lives of our loved ones headed? As we face such times, we must remember the words of our Savior and Lord, Jesus, in Luke 21:28. "...look up and lift up your heads, for your redemption is drawing near." BTW: Also don't forget Jesus told us that in such times as this, we are to work even harder to bring in the harvest. The fields are ready and the night is soon coming. Cf. John 4:35 As you are standing strong and gathering the end-time harvest, remember, don't let your heart be troubled. You are part of The Victorious Church!
