In his sermon, Pastor J Spurling addresses the stress and anxiety that many are feeling as they face the uncertainty of the future, particularly with the upcoming elections. Drawing parallels to the historical context of Malachi, where the people of Israel experienced similar feelings of weariness and questioned God's justice and presence, Pastor J emphasizes that God's plan remains active even in challenging times. He asserts that the answer to their cries for justice and hope is found in Jesus, who provides salvation, cleansing, and transformation. The message encourages the congregation to anchor their faith in Jesus as the Messiah, who calls them to trust in His plan and submit to His transformative work in their lives.Pastor J outlines a threefold process of change that begins with belief in Jesus as the Messiah, continues with submission to His refining work, and culminates in a complete transformation of one’s being. He highlights that belief opens the door to experiencing God’s promises, while submission to Jesus's authority refines character and brings about spiritual growth. Ultimately, this transformation reflects God's love and righteousness in the world, shining brightly in the lives of believers. Pastor J concludes by urging the congregation to let their faith manifest through actions of integrity, compassion, and justice, becoming beacons of hope in a society that desperately needs it.
