There is power in the name of Jesus. This week, Sound Doctrine returns to the historic 103rd International Assembly of the Church of God of Prophecy for a powerful message from special guest Bishop J. Drew Sheard, Presiding Bishop of the Church of God in Christ (COGIC).

Preaching from Acts 3 and the healing of the lame man at the Beautiful Gate, Bishop Sheard reminds us that while many names may carry influence in this world, “when it comes to being healed, delivered and set free, there is no name like Jesus.”

Peter and John had neither silver nor gold to offer the man—but they possessed something far greate, faith in the authority and power of Jesus Christ. In a message filled with Pentecostal power, Bishop Sheard challenges the congregation to stop focusing on their limitations and remember the authority that comes through Christ.

“Use the name that works. That name is Jesus.”

Whatever the need—healing, deliverance, breakthrough, or salvation—Bishop Sheard points us again and again to the name above every name: JESUS!

This week on the Sound Doctrine Podcast, we’re sharing Dr. Carlos Perez’s sermon from the 103rd International Assembly.

Speaking from 1 Corinthians 2:1–5, Dr. Perez reminds us that reaching the next generation will take more than good sermons, strong programs, or the right words. They need to see the power of the Holy Spirit at work in our lives.

The gospel does not change, but each generation must be prepared and trusted to carry it forward. As Dr. Perez said, “The baton must be protected, but it also must be passed.”
