This Week's Round Up

Relentless (1 Corinthians 15:58 KJV & AMP) - Pastor J

Relentless

Scripture: 1 Corinthians 15:58 (KJV & AMP)
"Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye steadfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord..."

This past Sunday, Pastor J delivered a passionate and powerful message entitled “Relentless” — a call to every believer to rise above complacency and live with unwavering determination. Rooted in 1 Corinthians 15:58, the message reminded us that our labor in the Lord is never in vain, but it requires a relentless spirit to see it through.

What Does It Mean to Be Relentless?

To be relentless is to be persistent and determined — to refuse to give up, no matter the difficulty or opposition. It's not just about endurance; it’s about pursuing God’s will with focused intensity, unshaken by setbacks or delays. A relentless person doesn’t back down from challenges but uses them as fuel to keep moving forward in faith.

Four Core Traits of a Relentless Believer:

Persistence – Perseverance or endurance, signifies a steadfast commitment to faith, good works, and prayer, even in the face of adversity or challenges
Perseverance – To remain steadfast and continue in faith, especially during trials and hardships
Commitment – A deep, unwavering dedication to God, characterized by actively working for His purposes, trusting in His will, and enduring through challenges
Fortitude – Courage or Strength of mind, is the virtue that enables on ego face adversity, temptation, and spiritual assault with unwavering resolve

Living a Life of Relentless Devotion:

Pastor J also revealed four areas where believers must develop relentless pursuit:

Relentless Love – Lamentations 3:22-23
Relentless Worship – Is about maintaining an unwavering commitment to God, expressed through faith, prayer, love, obedience, and a persistent pursuit of His presence, regardless of life's circumstances
Relentless Faith – Trusting God's goodness and faithfulness without hesitation, even when things are difficult
Relentless Prayer – 1 Thessalonians 5:17 : "Pray without ceasing."

This message wasn’t just motivation — it was a mandate. God is calling His people to shake off hesitation, silence doubt, and be relentless in their pursuit of Him and His promises. Whether you’re waiting on a breakthrough, standing in faith for healing, or pressing toward your purpose, Pastor J reminded us that now is not the time to sit down or give up.

Be steadfast. Be immovable. Be relentless.

Past Round Ups

🕊️ All My Life He Has Been Faithful
Scripture: Deuteronomy 7:9 (KJV)
"Know therefore that the LORD thy God, he is God, the faithful God..."

This week’s message was a powerful reminder that no matter what life brings, God remains faithful.

Point 1: “Know therefore that the LORD thy God, he is God.”
He is all we need — the source of our strength, our peace, and our hope. There is no substitute for His presence and power in our lives.

Point 2: God does not fail. He is unwavering, unchanging, and trustworthy. His promises are sure, and His word stands through every generation. For those who love Him and keep His commandments, His mercy and faithfulness endure — not just for now, but for a thousand generations.

No matter what season you're in, remember: All your life, He’s been faithful — and He always will be.

He Knows Your Name, But Do You Know His (Exodus 33:12-17) - Sister Adele Ruffin

Many of us are confident that God knows our names. He formed us, called us, and loved us before we ever loved Him. But the real question is this: Do you know His?

A true relationship with Christ goes far beyond showing up for Sunday service. It’s about walking with Him daily, talking with Him honestly, and claiming Him boldly—outside the four walls of the church.

Too often, we try to live an “80/20” life with God, giving Him only part of our hearts, part of our time, and part of our trust. But partial commitment will never build a solid foundation. We must aim for a 50/50 partnership, where we offer Him our whole selves and trust Him fully in return.

Consider this:

God will only walk with us when we choose to take the first step toward Him.
He will only speak when we decide to respond to His voice.
He will only claim us in the Lamb’s Book of Life when we show our fruits and reflect His character in everyday life.

When we walk consistently with God, we don’t just hear about His names—we experience them in the moments we need Him most:

Jehovah Jireh – The Lord our Provider when we have nothing left.
Jehovah Rapha – The Lord our Healer when our hearts or bodies are broken.
Jehovah Nissi – The Lord our Banner when we face battles we can’t fight alone.
Jehovah Shammah – The Lord is with us when we feel abandoned or afraid.

We can only call on these names with conviction when we’ve walked through trials with Him by our side and witnessed His faithfulness firsthand.

So today, don’t settle for a surface-level faith. Take that first step, answer His voice, and commit to knowing Him deeply. He already knows your name—now it’s time you truly know His.

Pastor J spoke on "Getting Up" and not dying at the gate. The message centered around lepers that sat at the gate, hungry, and about to die from starvation. They had a choice they had to make.. stay there and die from starvation...OR, Get Up go to the city and risk the chance of dying from the army of the Syrian. They chose to give themselves a chance, they got up and headed to the land.
As they approached the land where the army was, the Lord caused a noise in the land where the army was...the sound of chariots and an approaching army. This caused the army of the Syrian to scatter and leave all of their provisions and donkeys unguarded.
When the lepers got there...they found all the food they could eat and donkeys. Look at God!!!
This all happened because they "Fot Up" and did not stay in a place of contentment. When you move, get out your place of complacency, God will meet you where you are and open doors you never expected to be open or otherwise available. But it takes getting out of your place of comfort.
God called each person that is saved, to go out and witness to the unbelievers. For us to fulfill this commission from God, it requires all hands on deck, and requires each of us to activate and move from our seats to a place where we are not always familiar with...trusting God.
Provided are a few points from Sunday's Sermon:

There is always a choice that we have to make. It requires us moving from a place of contentment, our place of comfort, or from laziness (yes, I said it)
God opens doors when we step out...trusting his will for our lives
Coming to church every week is not the end game...it is the preparation for us to go out into the fields and witness to all the earth...that faith in Jesus brings salvation
