Have you ever experienced a prolonged season of isolation? A deep longing to understand your purpose in God, coupled with a profound sense of detachment from your past self? All of these emotions create a pressure building within your spirit, a pressure God has placed there. It doesn't feel good, but it is necessary. This pressure is the uncomfortable 'middle' required for God to place his favor and anointing on your life. In today's sermon, taught by Pastor Crawford, listeners will study scripture about Abraham, Elisha, and David, who experienced this feeling as well before a mantle was placed on their lives. You will also learn about the characteristics required to step into the life God wants for you. 'Mantle' is an important sermon for anyone looking to step into their calling.

Solomon was the richest and wisest man ever to live. Throughout his writings in the books of Proverbs and Ecclesiastes, he shares his wisdom on financial and spiritual success. 'Things That Keep You Poor,' taught by Pastor Crawford, highlights topics such as complaining, gluttony, and poverty, and combating these topics with God's wisdom. Pastor Crawford offers insight into difficult subjects such as procrastination, which he describes as delayed obedience (a form of disobedience). Finally, you will understand how to put your life in order so you can practice gratitude and engage in a deeper relationship with Christ.

The word tribulation is defined as suffering, persecution and pressure. These are all things that define the tribulation of Antichrist found in Revelation 12. The first tribulation is a timespan in the future where God's children will be tempted by Antichrist on Earth as they await the return of Jesus Christ. As Christians, we are saints, but we are not omitted from the first tribulation. 'Tribulations' taught by Pastor Crawford talks about the 3.5 month reign on Antichrist on Earth as well as the tactics he will use to persuade God's children to serve him. This sermon is perfect for any student looking to expand their knowledge on the events leading up to the return of Christ.
