Jesus Seminar Day 1

In today’s sermon from the Jesus Seminar, Apostle Alfred Williams calls the church back to disciplined devotion—studying the Word daily and becoming doers, not just hearers. He charges every believer to take Scripture seriously as the key to clarity, success, and spiritual strength, anchoring this in Joshua 1:8: keeping the Word in your mouth, meditating on it, and doing it. Flowing from Palm Sunday’s theme (“Who is your rider?”), he moves into Jesus entering the temple and driving out merchandising, declaring that the house of God must remain a house of prayer—not a marketplace (Matthew 21:12–13). This sermon is a direct call to reverence God’s house, cultivate a real prayer life, and build a “Bethel” at home where God’s presence is welcomed daily. Apostle Alfred then highlights Jesus’ prayer habits—often withdrawing to lonely places, rising early while it was still dark, and at times praying all night before major decisions (Luke 5:16; Mark 1:35; Luke 6:12). He shows the fruit of that devotion: power flowing so strongly that people pressed in just to touch Jesus and were healed (Luke 6:18–19). Turning to the withered fig tree, he teaches that faith produces authority—not wishing, but speaking: if you believe and do not doubt, you can command mountains to move (Matthew 21:18–22). The sermon closes with a bold reminder of Jesus’ promise: “Whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing” and “You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it” (John 14:12–14; Matthew 7:7–8). This is your invitation to stop tolerating what God never authorised—pray, believe, speak, and watch the name of Jesus turn your faith into visible results.
