About this episode

Pastor Lonnie’s sermon emphasizes God's faithfulness and encourages the congregation to trust in a big God despite life's challenges.

Pastor Lonnie’s sermon celebrates God’s faithfulness throughout the church’s life and history. It looks back to the early days, when the church was new, had no permanent home, and was unsure whether the city would approve land for church use. The sermon connects this story to biblical examples of people who faced situations too big for them, including Abraham, Moses, Joshua, David, Mary, and the early church. In each case, God demonstrated divine power when people trusted God. The message makes clear that believing in a big God does not mean life will be easy or that every answer will come quickly. Sometimes God works slowly, and sometimes the miracle is the endurance God provides along the way. The heart of the sermon is the reminder that God is still big. The same God who provided in the past still leads the church today. An anniversary is not only a time to remember what God has done but also to ask what God wants to do next. The sermon calls the congregation to honor the faith and sacrifice of those who came before by becoming a dedicated, praying, generous, and courageous church for the future.
