30 Nov 2025 Sunday Morning Service
This sermon focuses on how God can use unexpected sources, even "ungodly people," to bless and help those who are faithful to Him. The speaker emphasizes the importance of pleasing God through righteous living and unwavering faith.
Key Points:
- God's Sovereignty: God can work through anyone, regardless of their character, to fulfill His purposes and provide for His children.
- Examples:
- A drunkard carrying a pastor to a meeting.
- A stranger providing money to the speaker when he was in need.
- Joseph being favored in Potiphar's house.
- Daniel being helped in a strange land.
- A land owner selling land for less and donating to the ministry.
- Proverbs 16:7: "When a man's ways please the Lord, he maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him."
- Jehoiachin's Story (Jeremiah 52:31-34): Evil-Merodach, King of Babylon, released Jehoiachin from prison, spoke kindly to him, gave him a prominent position, changed his prison garments, and allowed him to eat bread regularly before him. This illustrates God's ability to bring about miraculous changes and blessings even in the direst circumstances.
- Importance of Integrity: Maintaining integrity and love for God, even in hardship, is crucial.
- Repentance and Restitution: The sermon stresses the need for repentance, baptism, and restitution (making amends for past wrongs) to truly please God and experience His blessings.
- Following God's Counsel: The speaker encourages listeners to follow the whole counsel of God, not just parts that are convenient.
- God's Provision: God will provide for those who trust in Him and live righteously.
- Transformation: God can transform enemies into friends and change lives for the better.
- Parental Example: Parents should live righteously as children learn from their example.
