We Believe in His Ordinances (This We Believe Part 8) // Pastor Cecil Mathew

Welcome to today’s episode, where we continue our inspiring series titled *This We Believe*. Before diving into today’s message, I want to pause and reflect on something deeply encouraging. Back in September, we embarked on a 90-day spiritual journey as a church family—a journey marked by growth, challenge, and transformation. Right now, we find ourselves in the middle of that journey—day 57 of 90 to be exact.The middle of any journey can be the hardest place to be. You’re no longer at the starting line, and the finish line can feel so far away. The initial excitement has faded, and the celebration of victory seems distant. But here’s the truth I want to share: the middle is where God does His deepest work. It’s the miracle zone.Think about the greatest moments in Scripture—Jesus calming the storm in the middle of the sea, Israel walking through the Red Sea on dry ground, and the fiery furnace where the fourth man appeared to turn fire into freedom. These miracles all happened in the middle of struggle, not at the beginning or the end.So, what do we do when we find ourselves in the middle? We stand firm. We put on the full armor of God—truth, righteousness, faith, the Word of God—and we fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith. He’s the one who started this journey and will faithfully bring it to completion. If you’re weary or stretched thin, remember God is enlarging your capacity and preparing to pour out something greater. So lift your head, square your shoulders, and stand your ground. The miracle is in motion.
