    • This sermon, “The Treasure of the Unread Letter,” teaches that God’s plan for a person’s life is already written, even when circumstances feel confusing, painful, or directionless. Using Jeremiah 29:11, the message emphasizes that God is not improvising—His intentions are already established, even if they are not yet visible to us.Through biblical examples, the sermon shows how people lived without understanding their situation, yet were still inside God’s plan. Joseph endured betrayal, slavery, and prison, not realizing these were steps toward leadership. Ruth experienced loss and poverty, unaware she was part of a lineage leading to Christ. Paul struggled with a persistent “thorn,” which preserved his dependence on God. Esther’s unlikely rise to queen positioned her to save her people at the right moment.In each case, their reality felt uncertain, but God’s purpose was already in motion. The central message is that what looks like delay, loss, or confusion is often part of a larger design that cannot yet be seen.The sermon concludes by urging believers to remain faithful in ordinary life, even without understanding. Rather than panicking over unanswered questions, they are called to trust the one who “wrote the letter.” The future is not random or forgotten—it is intentionally prepared. The “unread letter” represents a future already known by God, waiting to be revealed at the right time.

  • #143: The Holy Waste: Why Boring Obedience Outlasts Frantic Ministry

    • The sermon: https://apostolicinternational.com/sermons/THE_HOLY_WASTE_WHY_BORING_OBEDIENCE_OUTLASTS_FRANTIC_MINISTRY.pdf
    • This sermon challenges the modern obsession with visible, exciting, and results-driven ministry by presenting a counterintuitive truth: God often values quiet, unseen obedience over public success. Using Ezekiel’s command to lie on his side for 430 days as the central example, the message reframes what appears to be “wasted” time as powerful spiritual obedience. Ezekiel’s act was not inactivity but prophetic warfare—demonstrating that obedience does not need an audience to have eternal impact.

      The sermon contrasts this with contemporary ministry culture, which often prioritizes excitement, recognition, and measurable results. It argues that such “frantic ministry” can be shallow and unsustainable, while consistent, hidden faithfulness produces lasting spiritual strength. True obedience is defined not by dramatic acts, but by doing exactly what God commands, for as long as He commands it—even when it feels monotonous or insignificant.

      Biblical examples reinforce this principle. Israel was told to “hold your peace” at the Red Sea, revealing that stillness can be an act of trust and surrender. Paul’s years in obscurity in Tarsus prepared him for future impact, while Moses, David, and Joseph all endured long seasons of hiddenness before stepping into their calling. These seasons were not delays but essential preparation.

      The sermon also exposes the danger of distraction. Constant noise, activity, and stimulation can prevent believers from hearing God’s “still small voice.” Holy “boredom” becomes a spiritual discipline that quiets the flesh and cultivates intimacy with God.

      Ultimately, the message calls for a redefinition of success. God measures faithfulness, not visibility. Ordinary acts—serving family, staying in difficult seasons, resisting temptation—are deeply significant in His eyes. The final challenge is sobering: on judgment day, the question will not be about achievements, but about obedience. Faithfulness in the mundane is what leads to eternal reward.

  • #142: Run, Cushi, Run and Tell The Whole Truth
    Apr 19 2026

    • The sermon: https://apostolicinternational.com/sermons/RUN_CUSHI_RUN_AND_TELL_THE_WHOLE_TRUTH.pdf
    • This sermon draws from 2 Samuel 18 and contrasts two messengers—Ahimaaz and Cushi—to illustrate the difference between partial truth and faithful proclamation. After Absalom’s death, both men run to inform King David. Ahimaaz, though fast and eager, delivers an incomplete message, avoiding the painful truth. Cushi, though slower and less prominent, faithfully communicates the full reality.

      This contrast becomes a powerful metaphor for modern preaching. Ahimaaz represents those who prioritize speed, popularity, and acceptance over truth. They proclaim comforting messages like “all is well” but fail to address essential spiritual realities. The sermon identifies two such groups: Trinitarian preachers who complicate the identity of God rather than clearly declaring Jesus as God manifested in the flesh, and prosperity preachers who emphasize comfort, success, and blessing while neglecting suffering, sacrifice, and repentance. Both avoid the difficult but necessary parts of the gospel.

      In contrast, Cushi represents the faithful preacher of the One God who stands on the rock of scripture and declares that the LORD our God is one LORD. (Deuteronomy 6:4, KJV) He declares that Jesus Christ is that One LORD manifested in flesh. For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. (Colossians 2:9, KJV) He does not need three persons to explain the mystery. He simply preaches what the scripture says: God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself. (2 Corinthians 5:19, KJV) The faithful Cushi preacher also preaches the whole counsel of God concerning the new birth. He does not skip Acts 2:38. He proclaims it boldly: Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. He tells people that baptism is not a symbol but an answer of a good conscience toward God, by the resurrection of Jesus Christ. (1 Peter 3:21, KJV) He tells them 4 that except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. (John 3:5, KJV) He tells them that the promise of the Holy Ghost is for them and for their children and for all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call. (Acts 2:39, KJV).

      The sermon also highlights historical and contemporary examples of “Cushi-like” ministers—often humble, overlooked individuals—who faithfully spread the full gospel without seeking recognition. The message calls believers to value faithfulness over fame. God is not concerned with who arrives first or gains the largest audience, but with who tells the truth. The challenge is clear: choose to be like Cushi—obedient, truthful, and committed to carrying the full message of the gospel.
