Sermon Title: “We Have Received to Give”

 1 Peter 4:10

"Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God's grace in its various forms."

Introduction

Everything we have comes from God. Our life, our talents, our resources, our time, and our abilities are gifts from His hand. God blesses us not only so we can enjoy His blessings, but so we can become a blessing to others.

A believer is not a storage place for God's blessings; a believer is a channel through which God's blessings flow.

Genesis 12:2
"I will bless you... and you will be a blessing."


1. We Have Received Grace to Give Grace

God has shown us mercy and forgiveness through Jesus Christ.

Ephesians 2:8
"For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God."

Because we have received God's grace, we should extend grace to others:

  • Forgive those who hurt us
  • Encourage the discouraged
  • Help those in need
  • Show God's love

2. We Have Received Gifts to Serve Others

God gives every believer something valuable to share.

Romans 12:6
"We have different gifts, according to the grace given to each of us..."

Your gift is not only for yourself. It is meant to strengthen others.

You may have:

  • A gift of teaching
  • A gift of encouragement
  • A gift of leadership
  • A gift of giving
  • A gift of serving

Use what God gave you for His glory.


3. We Have Received Blessings to Be a Blessing

God provides for us so we can help others.

2 Corinthians 9:11
"You will be enriched in every way so that you can be generous on every occasion..."

God increases our resources so that generosity can increase through us.

The question is not only:
“God, what can You give me?”
but also:
“Lord, how can I use what You gave me to bless others?”


4. We Have Received Love to Give Love

1 John 4:19
"We love because He first loved us."

A believer who has experienced God's love cannot keep it hidden. God's love should flow through our words and actions.


5. We Have Received the Gospel to Share the Gospel

Jesus gave us salvation so we can tell others about Him.

Matthew 28:19
"Therefore, go and make disciples of all nations..."

The greatest gift we can give someone is the hope found in Jesus Christ.


Conclusion: Be a Channel, not a Container

A container only holds blessings, but a channel allows blessings to flow.

God has given you:

  • Time — give it to serve.
  • Talents — give them to build His Kingdom.
  • Resources — give them to help others.
  • Love — give it to those around you.

Acts 20:35 "It is more blessed to give than to receive." God does not bless us so that we can stop at ourselves. We receive from His hand so we can extend His hand to others."

Prayer:
“Lord, thank You for everything You have given me. Make me a faithful steward. Teach me to give generously, serve faithfully, and become a blessing to others for Your glory. Amen.”

"Christ in You, The Hope of glory"

Market Place: Work Faithfully for the Lord” By Pastor M.Gaudin

Colossians 3:23-24

"Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving."

Introduction

Work is not only about earning money; it is an opportunity to honor God, serve others, and show His character through our lives.

The Christian worker does not work only when people are watching. We work faithfully because God is watching. Our true Master is the Lord.

1. Work With a Faithful Heart

God looks at the heart behind our work.

Proverbs 16:3

"Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and He will establish your plans."

A faithful Christian gives their best—not because the job is easy, but because God deserves excellence.

Whether you are:

  • A business owner
  • An employee
  • A farmer
  • A student
  • A pastor
  • A servant in the church

Do everything with faithfulness.

2. Work Even When No One Sees

People may not always notice your effort, but God sees every sacrifice.

Matthew 6:4
"Your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you."

Do not work only for applause or recognition. Work with integrity because your reward comes from God.

3. Work With Excellence and Integrity

A Christian should be known as someone who can be trusted.

Titus 2:10
"Show that you can be fully trusted, so that in every way they will make the teaching about God our Savior attractive."

Our attitude at work is a testimony. The way we speak, serve, and treat others should reflect Christ.

4. Do Not Give Up When Work Is Difficult

Sometimes work becomes tiring. Sometimes success takes time. But God encourages us to remain faithful.

Galatians 6:9
"Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up."

Faithfulness during difficult seasons produces spiritual growth and blessings.

5. Remember Your Greatest Work Is for God

Your job may be temporary, but your service to God has eternal value.

1 Corinthians 15:58

"Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain."

Every honest task done with love becomes worship.

Conclusion: Keep Working Faithfully

Christian, keep serving. Keep building. Keep working with honesty and dedication. God sees your effort, strengthens your hands, and promises a reward.

Your workplace is your mission field.
Your attitude is your testimony.
Your faithfulness is your offering to God.

Prayer:

“Lord, help me to work faithfully, not for human approval but to honor You. Give me strength, wisdom, and a servant’s heart. May everything I do bring glory to Your name. Amen.”

REMINDER!!!!! The Return of Jesus Christ

The Return of Jesus Christ

John 14:1–3

"Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me... I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also." (KJV)

Introduction

One of the greatest promises in the Bible is not simply that Jesus came—but that Jesus is coming again. The first coming brought salvation through the cross. The second coming will bring the fulfillment of God's kingdom, justice, and eternal hope for His people.

The return of Christ is mentioned hundreds of times in the New Testament. It is not a side doctrine—it is central to the Christian faith.

As believers, we do not merely look back to the cross; we also look forward to the crown.


I. Jesus Promised He Would Return

John 14:1–3

On the night before His crucifixion, Jesus comforted His disciples with a promise:

"I will come again."

His promise is certain because:

  • Jesus cannot lie.
  • Every prophecy concerning His first coming was fulfilled.
  • Therefore, His promise of His second coming will also be fulfilled.

Application:
When life is uncertain, God's promises remain certain.


II. The Return of Christ Will Be Visible and Glorious

 Acts 1:9–11

As Jesus ascended into heaven, two angels declared:

"This same Jesus... shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven."

Revelation 1:7

"Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him."

Jesus will not return quietly or secretly. His coming will be glorious, visible, and undeniable.

The King who once wore a crown of thorns will return wearing many crowns.


III. No One Knows the Day or the Hour

Matthew 24:36

"But of that day and hour knoweth no man..."

Throughout history, many have tried to predict the date of Christ's return. Every prediction has failed.

Jesus calls us not to speculate but to stay ready.

Illustration

If you knew Jesus was returning tonight, how would you spend today?

The better question is:
Why not live every day that way?


IV. Be Ready for His Return

Matthew 25:1–13 (The Parable of the Ten Virgins)

Five were prepared.

Five were not.

The difference was not knowledge—it was readiness.

Preparation cannot be borrowed at the last moment.

Faith must be personal.

Application:

  • Stay spiritually awake.
  • Walk in obedience.
  • Keep your relationship with Christ fresh.
  • Share the gospel while there is still time.

V. His Return Brings Hope to Believers

1 Thessalonians 4:16–18

Paul reminds grieving believers that death is not the end.

Christ will return.

The dead in Christ will rise.

Believers will be with the Lord forever.

Then Paul says:

"Comfort one another with these words."

The return of Jesus is not meant to create fear in those who belong to Him—it is meant to inspire hope.


VI. His Return Calls the Church to Holy Living

2 Peter 3:11–14

Peter asks:

"What manner of persons ought ye to be?"

Knowing Christ is coming should affect:

  • Our priorities
  • Our purity
  • Our worship
  • Our witness

We should live each day as faithful servants awaiting the Master's return.


Conclusion

The return of Jesus is more than a prophecy—it is a promise.

  • He came once as the suffering Savior.
  • He will come again as the reigning King.
  • He came to redeem.
  • He will come to reign.
  • He came in humility.
  • He will return in glory.

The question is not "Is Jesus coming back?" The Bible answers that with a resounding yes.

The real question is:

"Are you ready to meet Him?"


Invitation

If you know Christ, rejoice and remain faithful. Lift up your head, for your redemption is drawing near (Luke 21:28).

If you have never trusted Christ, today is the day of salvation (2 Corinthians 6:2). His invitation is still open, but the time to respond is now.


Closing Prayer

Heavenly Father, thank You for the promise that Your Son, Jesus Christ, will return. Help me to live with faith, hope, and readiness. Keep me faithful in prayer, diligent in service, and bold in sharing the gospel. May I eagerly await the glorious appearing of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ. Until that day, strengthen me to live a life that honor You. I pray in Jesus' name. Amen.


"Christ in You, The Hope of glory"

Angel Intervention – When Heaven Steps into Earth

Psalm 91:11–12

"For He shall give His angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways. They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone."

Supporting Scriptures:

  • Hebrews 1:14
  • Daniel 6:22
  • Acts 12:5–11
  • 2 Kings 6:15–17
  • Luke 22:43

Introduction

Many people believe in angels, but few understand their biblical purpose. Angels are not to be worshiped—they are servants of God sent to accomplish His will. Throughout Scripture, whenever God's people faced impossible situations, heaven intervened through angelic ministry.

The same God who sent angels in Bible days is still sovereign today.

Hebrews 1:14

"Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?"


I. Angels Protect God's People

Daniel 6:22

"My God hath sent his angel, and hath shut the lions' mouths..."

Daniel was thrown into a den of hungry lions because he refused to stop praying.

The king could not save him.

The soldiers could not save him.

But God sent an angel.

Lesson:

God's protection is greater than the enemy's attack.

Sometimes God removes the danger.

Sometimes He sends divine protection in the middle of the danger.

Psalm 34:7

"The angel of the LORD encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them."


II. Angels Bring Deliverance

Acts 12:5–11

Peter was in prison awaiting execution.

The church prayed.

God answered—not with politics or human power—but by sending an angel.

The chains fell off.

The prison doors opened.

Peter walked free.

Lesson:

Prayer invites God's intervention.

When God's timing arrives, no prison can hold what God has set free.

Sometimes your breakthrough is already on the way—you simply cannot see it yet.


III. Angels Reveal God's Presence

2 Kings 6:15–17

Elisha's servant panicked because enemy armies surrounded the city.

Elisha prayed,

"Lord, open his eyes."

Suddenly the servant saw horses and chariots of fire surrounding them.

The angelic army had been there all along.

Lesson:

Just because you cannot see God's help does not mean it isn't there.

Faith sees what fear cannot.


IV. Angels Strengthen Believers

Luke 22:43

Before the cross,

Jesus prayed in Gethsemane.

Then,

"There appeared an angel unto him from heaven, strengthening him."

Notice:

The angel did not remove the cross.

The angel gave Jesus strength to carry it.

Lesson:

Sometimes God's intervention is not escape.

It is supernatural strength.


V. Angels Obey God's Voice

Angels do not move because of superstition.

They move according to God's command.

Psalm 103:20

"Bless the LORD, ye his angels, that excel in strength, that do his commandments..."

Our confidence is not in angels themselves but in the God who commands them.


What Angel Intervention Is Not

The Bible teaches us:

  • We do not pray to angels.
  • We do not worship angels.
  • We worship God alone.

Even the apostle John was corrected when he attempted to worship an angel (Revelation 22:8–9).

Angels point people toward God—not toward themselves.


Application

Perhaps today you feel:

  • Surrounded like Elisha.
  • Trapped like Peter.
  • Attacked like Daniel.
  • Weary like Jesus in Gethsemane.

Take courage.

God has not forgotten you.

He knows your situation before you pray.

Whether He sends protection, deliverance, guidance, or strength, His intervention always comes at the right time.


Conclusion

Angel intervention is ultimately evidence of God's care for His people. Angels are God's servants, carrying out His purposes. The greatest intervention God has ever provided was not through an angel but through His Son, Jesus Christ, who came to save us from sin and reconcile us to God.

When we trust Christ, we can live with confidence that the Lord is with us, and nothing can separate us from His love.


Closing Prayer

Heavenly Father, thank You for Your constant care and protection. I praise You as the God who commands the hosts of heaven. Strengthen My faith to trust You even when I cannot see what You are doing. Protect ME according to Your will, deliver ME from evil, and give ME the courage to stand firm in every trial. May My life bring glory to You alone, and may I always remember that my hope is found in Jesus Christ. In His mighty name we pray. Amen.

Jesus I Know, Paul I Know… But Who Are You?" By Pastor M.Gaudin

"And the evil spirit answered and said, Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are ye?"  Acts 19:13–16 

Introduction

There are many people who know the language of faith but have never experienced the power of a relationship with Christ. They can quote Scripture, attend church, and imitate spiritual leaders, yet heaven and hell both recognize authenticity.

In Acts 19, seven sons of Sceva attempted to cast out a demon using the name of Jesus—not because they knew Jesus, but because they had heard Paul preach about Him. They wanted the authority without the relationship, the power without the surrender, and the results without the commitment. The demon's response has echoed through the centuries:

"Jesus, I know, and Paul I know; but who are you?"

1. Hell Recognizes Genuine Authority

The evil spirit acknowledged Jesus first.

Jesus is the King of kings. Every demon knows His authority. His name is not magic; it carries power because of who He is.

Then the spirit said, "Paul I know."

Paul was not famous because of wealth or status. He was known because he belonged to Christ, lived a life of obedience, and walked in the power of the Holy Spirit.

Our greatest goal should not be to be known by the world but to be faithful to Christ.

2. Borrowed Faith Cannot Win Spiritual Battles

The sons of Sceva borrowed Paul's words but not Paul's life.
They knew the name of Jesus, but they did not know Jesus.

Many people try to live on someone else's faith:

Their parents' faith.
Their pastor's faith.
Their spouse's faith.
Their church's faith.
But God calls each person into a personal relationship with Him.
No one can believe for you. No one can pray your way into a relationship with Christ. You must know Him for yourself.

3. Your Private Life Produces Your Public Authority

Paul's authority was built long before Acts 19.
He prayed.
He suffered.
He obeyed.
He preached faithfully.
He walked closely with Christ.

Authority in public ministry is born from faithfulness in private devotion.

Before God uses someone publicly, He shapes them privately.

4. The Name of Jesus Is Not a Formula

The sons of Sceva treated Jesus' name like a magical phrase.
The name of Jesus is not a charm or a ritual. It is the name above every name, entrusted to those who belong to Him and submit to His lordship.

Power flows from relationship, not from repetition.

5. The Question We Must Answer

The demon asked, "Who are you?"
That question invites self-examination.

When people look at your life, do they see Christ?

When trials come, do they see faith?

When temptation comes, do they see integrity?

When you pray, is it from habit or from a living relationship with God?

The most important identity is not your title, your career, or your reputation. It is whether you are known by Christ.

Conclusion

The goal is not for demons to know our names. The goal is for Jesus to know us.
One day we all will stand before Him. The greatest words we can ever hear are:

"Well done, good and faithful servant."

Do not settle for borrowed faith.

Know Jesus personally.
Walk with Him daily.
Live by His Spirit.
Serve Him faithfully.

Then your life will carry the unmistakable evidence that you belong to Christ.

Closing Prayer

Heavenly Father, thank You for reminding me that true spiritual authority comes from a genuine relationship with Jesus Christ. Forgive me for the times I have relied on appearances instead of obedience. Draw ME closer to You. Fill ME with Your Holy Spirit, shape MY character, and make MY life reflect Christ in every area. Help me to walk in humility, faithfulness, and holiness so that everything I do bring glory to Your name. In Jesus' name, Amen.

Title: "When Growth Is Feared" by Pastor M.Gaudin

Title: "When Growth Is Feared"

Scripture: Book of Exodus 1:8–14

Introduction

There are seasons when God blesses His people with growth, favor, and increase. Yet growth often attracts opposition. In Exodus, the Israelites multiplied and became strong in Egypt. Instead of celebrating their contribution, Pharaoh saw their increase as a threat. Fear led him to oppress the very people God was blessing.

The same principle can appear in our lives today. As we grow in faith, character, influence, or purpose, we may encounter resistance. But opposition does not mean God has abandoned His plan. Often, it is a sign that His purpose is still unfolding.

1. God Blesses His People with Growth

The Israelites were fruitful and increased greatly. Their growth was not an accident—it was evidence of God's promise and faithfulness.

Growth may come in many forms:

  • Spiritual maturity
  • Stronger families
  • New opportunities
  • Greater influence
  • Deeper faith

When God is at work, increase follows His purpose.

2. Fear Can Lead to Oppression

Pharaoh's fear shaped his actions. Instead of trusting, he enslaved the Israelites.

Fear can cause people to:

  • Resist change.
  • Control others.
  • Oppose what God is doing.
  • Mistreat those they see as a threat.

The lesson is not to respond with fear ourselves. Fear narrows our vision, while faith opens it.

3. Opposition Cannot Stop God's Purpose

Despite harsh labor and oppression, the Israelites continued to multiply. The more they were afflicted, the more they increased.

This reminds us that:

  • Obstacles cannot cancel God's promises.
  • Trials can strengthen faith.
  • God's plan is greater than human resistance.

What others intend to suppress, God can use to display His faithfulness.

4. God Delivers His People

The story of Exodus does not end in slavery. God raised up Moses to lead His people out of bondage. Deliverance came in God's timing, showing that He hears the cries of His people and acts according to His promises.

Our hope rests not in circumstances but in God's character.

Conclusion

Growth may bring challenges, but it also reveals God's ongoing work. When others respond with fear, choose faith. When obstacles arise, remember that God is still at work.

Closing Thought

"People may fear what God is growing, but they cannot stop what God has ordained. The same God who blesses His people with growth also gives them the strength to endure opposition and the power to walk into freedom."

Prayer

"Heavenly Father, thank You for Your faithfulness in every season. When we face opposition, help us remain faithful and trust Your promises. Give us courage instead of fear, perseverance instead of discouragement, and confidence that Your purpose for our lives cannot be defeated. Lead us into the freedom and calling You have prepared for us. In Jesus' name, Amen."

How the Church Can Use AI Without Losing Its Soul

How the Church Can Use AI Without Losing Its Soul

A Kingdom Approach to Technology in the Age of Artificial Intelligence

By Pastor M. Gaudin


🌿 Introduction

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is changing the world — shaping communication, education, and even ministry. Yet as the Church steps into this digital era, it must walk with wisdom, not fear; innovation, not imitation.
AI can help us reach the lost and disciple believers, but it must never replace the Holy Spirit, the Word, or the human heart of ministry.


✝️ 1. Remember Who We Are

The Church is not an organization built on data; it is a living body built on the Spirit of God.

“Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit, says the Lord of hosts.” — Zechariah 4:6

AI can assist, but it cannot breathe life.
It may process information, but it cannot discern revelation.
Therefore, technology must serve the mission, not define it.


🧠 2. Use AI as a Servant, Not a Shepherd

AI can:

  • Prepare sermon outlines and Bible studies

  • Translate Scripture into multiple languages

  • Design flyers, devotionals, and teaching materials

  • Help manage church communication and scheduling

But it must never become the voice of direction.
Pastors, filled with the Spirit, remain the interpreters of truth.
AI provides data; the Spirit provides wisdom.


💒 3. Guard the Sacred: Worship, Prayer, and Fellowship

No technology can lead worship in spirit and truth.
No algorithm can replace the warmth of prayer or the power of touch in community.
As we use new tools, we must keep our gatherings human, holy, and heartfelt.

Technology may amplify the message, but presence sustains the body of Christ.


🕊️ 4. Test Every Voice

“Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits…” — 1 John 4:1

AI can produce convincing text — even spiritual-sounding messages.
Church leaders must:

  • Verify every teaching against Scripture.

  • Train believers to discern false or misleading content.

  • Avoid letting convenience replace conviction.

The Church’s role is to shepherd discernment in a world of digital confusion.


🌍 5. Use AI for Kingdom Impact

When guided by faith and love, AI can:

  • Translate the Gospel to every tribe and tongue.

  • Provide online mentorship to isolated believers.

  • Support education and empowerment in developing regions.

  • Analyze needs for outreach, missions, and social support.

The Great Commission can travel faster when technology carries it — but the message must remain pure.


⚖️ 6. Keep Accountability and Transparency

Every AI tool must be used under spiritual oversight.
Churches should:

  • Clearly explain when AI-generated material is used.

  • Avoid deepfakes or misleading imagery.

  • Protect member privacy and data.

  • Pray before adopting new tools.

Where there is accountability, there is safety.


❤️ 7. Preserve the Human Touch

AI can speak; only people can love.
AI can teach; only disciples can mentor.
AI can describe the Word; only believers can live it.
The Church must remain relational, compassionate, and personal, even in a digital world.


🌅 Conclusion

The Church should not fear technology — but it must lead technology with holiness.
AI is neither angel nor demon; it is a mirror reflecting the hearts that use it.
If the Church uses it prayerfully, humbly, and creatively, it becomes a servant of revival.
But if the Church neglects discernment, it can become a tool of deception.

The key is simple:

Let the Spirit remain the source, and let technology remain the servant.
