In week five our "Unlikely Heroes", Pastor Rodney reflects on Hannah's story from 1 Samuel 1, highlighting her barrenness and distress, yet her steadfast faith in prayer. He emphasizes the qualities of honest, humble, and hopeful prayers, urging us all to surrender to God's will. Hannah's vow to dedicate her son, Samuel, to the Lord demonstrates the cost of surrender, along with the importance of dedication and worship. Listen and be challenged.

In week four of "Unlikely Heroes", Pastor Rodney preaches from Daniel 3, the familiar story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego and the fiery furnace. In his sermon, he emphasizes the importance of choosing to live faithfully in the world, not isolating or imitating it, but rather infiltrating it with the light of Jesus. Pastor also highlights the significance of the company we keep, the choices we make, and the confidence we have in God. Through this story, we are encouraged to trust in God's power and protection, even in the face of adversity.

In week three of "Unlikely Heroes", Pastor Rodney uses the story of Esther to illustrate how God can turn impossible situations around for your good and His glory. He discusses how Esther's obedience, patience in preparation, and courage to act played crucial roles in her story, showing that opportunities from God are often disguised as obstacles that require boldness to seize. Through this message, we are called to reflect on the difference between coincidence and providence, the constant presence and work of God, and how obedience, patience, and courage prepare believers for God's providential work in our lives.

In week two of "Unlikely Heroes", Pastor Samson preaches from Joshua 10, the story of the sun standing still, to illustrate a deeper message. Despite Gibeon's deceptive treaty with Israel, when surrounding kingdoms attacked them, Joshua honored the covenant and defended them. This act, born out of a previous misstep, demonstrated obedience to God. The sermon emphasizes that our mistakes and challenges can be used by God to elevate our faith and bring about victory. Just as Joshua found victory in obeying God after a misstep, we too can find triumph when we align with God's ways, even in our biggest battles. However, the greatest miracle is not the sun standing still but Jesus coming down for us, and through faith-filled prayers, we can find salvation and victory. Listen and be challenged. 

In week one of our new collection of talks, "Unlikely Heroes", Pastor Rodney discusses the story of Joshua and his preparation to lead the Israelites into the Promised Land. He emphasizes three key points: serving, believing, and receiving. Joshua's preparation involved serving Moses for over 40 years, showing commitment and contentment in his role. He also demonstrated courage by obeying God's commands, believing in God's promises, and positioning himself to receive blessings by being filled with the spirit of wisdom and staying close to God's word.
