Date Preached: December 17, 2023
Speaker: Dr. Joshua Smith
Dr. Joshua Smith moves on to a new theme, "You Received a Blessing from God. Now What?" explaining how blessings can be like a double-edged sword and encouraging us to be sober-minded and watchful.
Dr. Joshua Smith invites a special guest speaker, Bishop Jarron C. O'Neal of The Fountain to speak for our healing service. In "The Wait By The Gate", Bishop O'Neal expounds on how Jesus can have us wait for a blessing, in this case the blessing of healing, for His name's sake. He closes by insightfully sharing three different agents of faith for healing. This message is incredibly revealing and helpful if you are standing in faith for healing for yourself or others.
