Strange Times ...Strange Things, Strange People/Pastor Femi Paul/Thanksgiving Service

The Word of Grace

In a timely sermon titled "Strange Times ...Strange Things, Strange People," Pastor Femi Paul illuminated the challenges of the times we are in, drawing from 1 Peter 4:12 (TPT): "Beloved friends, if life gets extremely difficult, with many tests, don’t be bewildered as though something strange were overwhelming you!" The key theme resonated with the congregation, and also echoed in this prayer by Apostle Anselm Madubuko: "May you not be swallowed up by these strange times and this unsettling season as they come, in Jesus' name." In conclusion, Pastor Femi reminded everyone of the reassuring promise found in 1 Peter 4:12-13 (MSG): "When life gets really difficult, don't jump to the conclusion that God isn't on the job. Instead, be glad that you are in the very thick of what Christ experienced. This is a spiritual refining process, with glory just around the corner!" In these uncertain times, the message inspired faith and resilience, reminding believers that amidst trials and tribulations, God is ever-present, refining and preparing us for the glory that awaits. Let's hold fast to hope, knowing that beyond the challenges lie opportunities for growth and divine breakthroughs. 🙏🌟
