Victory In Christ 12/16/25 - Sunday Service
Greetings, beloved brothers and sisters in Christ!Today, we gather in the house of the Lord to celebrate a truth that cannot be shaken—a truth that stands firm no matter what trials we face: In Christ, we have the victory! The Word of God reminds us in 1 Corinthians 15:57, “But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.” This victory is not temporary, nor is it dependent on our own strength. It is eternal, unshakable, and already won through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ!
Sometimes, life makes us feel like we are losing. The battles of daily struggles, sickness, financial hardship, broken relationships, or spiritual attacks can leave us weary. But let me remind you today—we do not fight for victory; we fight from victory! The battle is already won. The enemy is already defeated. You are already more than a conqueror through Christ who loves you!Maybe you’ve walked into this service today feeling discouraged. Maybe the weight of yesterday’s failures, today’s challenges, or tomorrow’s uncertainties is pressing on your heart. But I want you to lift up your head, child of God! Stand firm on the promises of His Word. Isaiah 54:17 declares, “No weapon formed against you shall prosper.” The weapons may form, but they will not succeed. The storm may rage, but it will not sink you. The darkness may come, but the light of Christ will always shine brighter!Victory in Christ is not just about winning battles—it is about walking in faith.
Even when the situation looks impossible, even when we don’t see the answer yet, we trust that God is working all things together for our good. The victory is in our endurance, in our worship, in our obedience, in our refusal to give up!Remember the story of David and Goliath.
The giant seemed too big to defeat, but David didn’t focus on the size of the enemy—he focused on the size of his God! The same God who gave David victory is the same God who fights for you today. No matter what giants you face—fear, anxiety, doubt, or pain—God’s power is greater!So let today be a day of renewal, a day of fresh faith, a day of standing boldly in the confidence that Jesus has already won the battle.
Walk in the assurance of Romans 8:37, which declares, “In all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.” You are not just surviving; you are overcoming! You are not just getting through; you are rising up in power!Let us declare together today:
