WHO WILL STAND UP FOR JESUS?

lives ashamed of Christ and the gospel; thus blatantly mocking its purity by what they say, what they do and how they respond to situations. Many dont stand up for Jesus, since there is no re in our hearts to stand for the truth and suer for what is right. Many care too much what others think, what ideologies we ought to adapt to seek some form of happiness instead of standing for Christ and basking in the joy which can only be unlocked by His glorication. Romans 1:16- I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes: rst for the Jew, then for the Gentile. We are called to stand for Jesus, not be ashamed by the gospel but live a life that shines holiness and renewal that people may see the fruit of the hope we have been blessed with. We are called to stand up for Jesus, we ought to stand boldly for the gospel; turning away from the wickedness of the world and facing the promise of eternal life and anchoring our hearts to the hope of g l o r i f i c a t i o n a s we j o u r n e y t h r o u g h sanctication. Standing for Jesus means to take responsibility of our walk, block every entrance of corruption that the world has placed and choose to live life as a new creation; not fil ling our heads with philosophical garbage, but saturating our hearts, minds with the word of God.

WORD FROM THE PASTOR

Dear Friend, Gods blessing be upon you and your f a m i l y. My d e a r Brothers and sisters, we live in times of horric unbelief as it attacks the very foundation of our faith thus I call out to you to stand for Jesus, not to be content with tidbits of the word, to stop dgeting and dilly dallying, but to reclaim our lives as we put our foot down, choose never to be the same again. Today we stand up for Jesus. True Christians in words and actions, true believers empowered by His love, unshakable by His grace. In Jesus Name Amen!

As we celebrated Resurrection Sunday and remembered the great sacrice of our Lord & Savior Jesus Christ, the price He paid for our freedom and the hope we hold unto as His resurrection signies the change in our hearts and the eternality of holiness in our lives if we stand focused on Him. As we study the the life, death and resurrection of Christ, we see that there was no point when Jesus Christ was found dgeting or dilly dallying, instead we see Him resolute to lay down His life as ransom for our sin. The question is, if we were in His shoes; would we have done the same? Or to localize this question further; we can ask ourselves: How many times have I stood up for Jesus, the way He stood up for me? Sadly most christians fail to answer this query for they are lost in shame. Many have lived their

WHAT WE MUST DO TO STAND UP FOR JESUS & THE GOSPEL

Luke 9:26 states: If anyone is ashamed of me and my When we are ashamed to defend the good news and we words, the Son of Man wi% be ashamed of him when he comes in tear it down for our benet, we ourselves never look to his glory and in the glory of the Father and of the holy angels. Jesus as our savior. What we must stand for is a renewal of our hearts and minds, living a life lled with Christ. By We have been called to stand up for Christ, not to be ashamed of the Gospel but stand as banner bearers of His living a life of holiness, we therefore stand as banner goodness by living a life of holiness. The danger here is to bearers of Gods name. Choosing to stand up for Jesus and those who stand ashamed of Christ, for it shall be answered defend the gospel through our words, through our actions, with shame a s wel l. The danger of us fol lowing through our lifesong. Not being ashamed of Gods incompletely is to be answered with much shame for when goodness but proclaiming His faithfulness to all by the way there is no passion, no zeal, no boldness for the gospel. we walk the talk.
