Great Cloud of Witnesses

Join Pastor Gary on this Memorial Day Sunday as he guides the Church in remembering the 'Spiritual Warriors' who paved the way for us. He honors the sacrifices of over 600,000 men, women, and youth who died for freedom, paralleling their sacrifice to Christ's ultimate act of love. Pastor Gary stresses the significance of commemorating fallen soldiers and early Christians who faced persecution for their faith. He highlights the courage of these believers under rulers like Emperor Domitian and challenges us to see their legacy as part of our spiritual heritage. Referencing Matthew 5:10-12, he reminds us that following Christ includes enduring trials. From Hebrews 12:1-2, he encourages us to persevere, surrounded by a cloud of witnesses. He honors those in his ministry, "fallen soldiers" of faith, who have shaped lives through their prayers and service.
