Following our Christmas Presentation, “The Birthing Place”, Dr. Joshua expounds on the story of the birth of Jesus by focusing on the need for Jesus to be parented despite His sovereignty. If Jesus, though holy and righteous, needed guidance in His young development, so should we as we continue to grow in our spiritual walk. Likewise, we are asked to provide support and guidance to others in order to make disciples.
Our Zoe “4G” concept largely includes raising up leaders and creating disciples. Listen to Dr. Joshua explain this in more detail as he continues his message, “The 4G Life” with Part 6, furthering our understanding of The Faith Project, “Invest In The Future, Honor The Past”.
In this message, Part 5 of “The 4G Life”, Dr. Joshua begins by introducing us to two of his students who discuss how they have been blessed by being taken in by church family (Sophia), as well as a real family home-away-from-home environment (Iziphozonke).

Dr. Joshua continues his message, “The 4G Life” Part 3, using a baseball analogy to discuss how a decision in 1965 by a baseball union representative (Marvin Miller) changed income equality today.

Dr. Joshua continues his message, “The 4G Life” Part 2 by delving into the difference between the emotion of fear and the spirit of fear and how to address each.
