Worship and Obedience Towards Eternal Life

The worship leader led the praise with an expectation for what God would do in the future.

With the confession 'Seigneur, tu as ton fait (Lord, You have done it)', the leader began the worship with praise elevating God's existence itself, not limited to specific events.

Attendees focused on praising and commemorating God's works and His very being.

The essence of worship lies in reverence for God's very being, transcending the phenomenon of His acts of giving.

The reason to give Him glory stems from His unchanging character itself, rather than His deeds.

The leader urged everyone to give glory to God alone, unconstrained by their own positions or worth.

The leader demonstrated an attitude of acknowledging God's sovereignty and giving Him glory even in personal circumstances.

He proclaimed that God deserves praise in any difficulty and urged everyone to give glory to God.

A prayer was offered, longing for miracles, healing, and the anointing (Onction) and grace of God to come through the powerful presence of the Holy Spirit.

Asking the congregation if they believe God is present, the leader prayed for the glory that filled the temple in the Bible to also fill this space.

The leader asked if they believe God is present and sought the work of the Holy Spirit through prayer.

An attitude of fully surrendering leadership of the worship to God and relying entirely on the work of the Holy Spirit is required.

It was proclaimed that because the temple veil was torn through the precious blood of Jesus Christ, it is now possible to enter the Holy of Holies.

Believers were exhorted to move towards a higher dimension of spiritual worship under the guidance of the Holy Spirit.

They were urged to cast off worldly worries and worship God with all their heart and soul.

Praise continued, proclaiming God's name as holy and great, and that there is no holy one besides Him.

He proclaimed God's faithfulness in protecting believers and lifting their heads, even in suffering.

He maintained an attitude of singing trust towards the Lord in all situations and giving glory to God.

The grace of the Creator who sent angels to fight for us all night and scattered our enemies was remembered.

We gathered here to thank God who exalts us even amidst worldly condemnation.

It is important to guard against the growing number of neglected souls today, as the church promotes itself rather than Jesus.

All proclaimed teachings must focus on Jesus, and ministers must feel responsible for that calling.

While the Word should move hearts, change habits, and restore lives, in reality, it often fails to lead to the true path, resulting in no change even when people gather in church.

The preacher contrasted how the fall changed everything around them with the time when humans were naked in the Garden of Eden but felt no shame.

The Bible shows that they were not blind; they saw their nakedness but felt no shame about it before sin entered.

After sin entered, humans realized their nakedness, felt shame, and began to hide, which signifies the breakdown of order caused by the fall.

Focusing on secular values such as travel experiences, business class flights, or bank balances contrasts with the spiritual characteristics required by the Kingdom.

He warned that a church or sermon that does not teach about Jesus or lead to eternal life is not a proper place, and that time is being wasted with such attitudes.

Eternal life is not a reward for actions, but a process of deeply knowing God; it is the knowledge of God.

It was warned that all teachings received in church must be examined to see if they lead to knowledge for eternal life, and that even things from God might not grant eternal life.

Since eternal life is connected to God's Kingdom, prioritizing the Kingdom means all other things will naturally follow.

Faith life must be aligned with God's timetable, not one's own, and it is a process of yielding oneself to His education and refining.

When we meditate on the Word daily and seek heavenly knowledge, we draw closer to God, and our earthly lives also transform.

Many fight for worldly victories, but grace and faith through Christ alone are the only true path to salvation.

The preacher stated that God's Word becomes powerful and a guide through practice, and that the Word without practice is meaningless.

The Bible warns that physical comfort may make life on earth beautiful, but it does not lead to eternal life.

The reason for delay in the Christian journey lies in the physical comfort that resists change and refuses to abandon old habits.

He said that only Jesus is the Word and the source of life, and when we participate in His life, we gain eternal life.

When we come to Jesus, life becomes clear and fear disappears, but a life that does not seek God becomes meaningless and alienated from the church.

The Bible testifies that Jesus Christ, who died on the cross and rose on the third day, is the source of eternal life.

Eternal life belongs to God's realm, and true grace should be sought through spiritual values rather than earthly ones.

The presider reminded that only baptized individuals can participate in church communion, and they must discern if they are worthy.

Communion is a ceremony commemorating the death of Jesus Christ, and participating unworthily can lead to spiritual or physical illness or death, so thorough self-reflection is required before participation.

The Bible warns that taking the bread and cup without discerning the Lord's body is an act that brings judgment, and points out that this causes believers to become sick or die.

Communion is not merely a habitual ritual, but a precious time to receive the life Jesus Christ gave us through an act of obedience, and one should repent of their sins and seek the grace of being cleansed by His blood.

Centre Évangélique Vie Restaurée provided guidance on the offering procedure during Sunday service, categorizing offering baskets into three types.

The basket placed at the front is for tithes, and the basket on the left collects special offerings for the upcoming Dr. Atoms Seminar in November.

The general offering basket will be circulated during the service.

The competition will be held on Sunday, September 27, 2026, at 1 PM at Centre Évangélique Vie Restaurée.

A prize of 50,000 francs will be awarded to the winner of the competition.

The church announced that the wedding of Sister Florence and Brother Gloire will take place in November.

The dowry ceremony will be on Thursday, November 12, and the civil and religious ceremonies will be held at the church on Saturday, November 14.

The church requested a contribution of 5,000 francs from each member, and 8,000 francs per couple.

Centre Évangélique Vie Restaurée emphasized changes in church activities. The speaker pointed out that the church must move away from deciding activities based solely on the number of members, as in the past.

For example, during stationery support activities, instead of cash donations, members were encouraged to bring items directly, fostering their direct participation and responsibility. The speaker stressed that through such practices, the church must grow more robustly.

The speaker expressed regret over some members who did not participate despite transportation assistance for the wedding, emphasizing the importance of members sharing in each other's joyful moments and fostering communal bonds.

The church welcomed first-time visitors and took time to celebrate each other, reminding everyone that we are one family in Jesus.
