The One Thing That's Needful


Feb 27, 2020

In today’s episode, Dr. Siohvaughn Funches continues the series, “God Is God, All by Himself.” Besides Him, there is no other. Dr. Funches invites you to go back and listen to the first episode of this series to reflect on God’s sovereignty. This series carries timely and timeless truths to help you rest in God’s faithfulness.

 

Dr. Funches recaps the episode of last week starting with Jesus Christ’s words, “It is finished.” Dr. Funches speaks of the fight being finished by Christ, with our part as born-again believers being to believe. This causes our hearts to trust in God more and more. Dr. Funches encourages you to listen to Christ-centered teachings and rhema words from God to experience the promises of God.

Dr. Funches begins this week’s message with verses from Isaiah that speak of God’s power and His perfect protection for believers. Dr. Funches encourages you to get at the feet of Jesus in the morning and the evening and take care of your health and your body; when you are weak, the enemy comes to tempt and distract you. She urges you to take heed to the words of your Savior, who came that you may have life more abundantly. Dr. Funches continues her message with additional passages from the Holy Bible describing how God prepares our way before us.

Listen in to hear how you, as a believer in Jesus, can trust God to prepare the way before you.
