Text: 2 Corinthians 12:7-10 (NIV)
Theme: Afflictions can make us better, not bitter.
Synopsis: Every student hates assignments, projects, tests; they require painful preparations. Undoubtedly, through these “intellectual afflictions,” students learn more. The same is true with Christian life. Trials, afflictions, tribulations are all blessings turned upside down. They are blessings soaked in tears and decorated with pain, but are all meant to make our life victorious.
Text: Matthew 1:21; Philippians 2:9-11
Theme: The Father gave the Son the highest Name as the source of victory.
Synopsis: One of the 115 names and titles of the Son of God rises above the rest: the Name JESUS. It is the Name above all names and His believer’s source of victory. It connotes God’s humanity as it denotes authority, power, honour and glory. Hence, the Name Jesus brings down all knees in heaven and on earth.
Text: Exodus 14:13-16 (NIV)
Theme: The Father gave the Son the highest Name as the source of victory.
Synopsis: On their way out of Egypt, the Hebrews could see the Egyptian soldiers were pursuing them. They were trapped! There was no way out. Mountains on one side and the Red Sea in front of them. We, Christians, a lot of times, face the same dilemma. We have so many struggles, problems, miseries in life to go through. Through this sermon, learn how TO DIVIDE your own 'red seas.'
Text: 2 Chronicles 20:15; 22-23 (NIV)
Theme: Come up against obstacles and setbacks… you just have seconds from victory
Synopsis: There are times when we are heading into the path of a defeated life. We struggle, and sometimes on the brink to surrender. But there is always strong reason for hope, to be expectant and excited. We may be only seconds from victory if we always focus our eyes on Jesus.
Text: Exodus 33:21-23
Theme: God is still in the midst of our wilderness experience.
Synopsis: There is a lot of Christians who are going through spiritual depression called “wilderness experience.” In times like these, the Lord allows us to go through the challenges and pain of growing. But remember, He is always there at the back to watch and catch us if we fall.
