Great Is Thy Faithfulness - 39th Anniversary March 1 2026

Описание: Jesus Has Already Won | Living in the “Already, But Not Yet”

What if the outcome of the battle you’re fighting has already been decided?

In this powerful message from Gospel of John 16:16–33, we are reminded that while trouble is real, defeat is not. Jesus tells His disciples — and us:

“In this world you will have many trials and sorrows. But take heart, because I have overcome the world.”

We are living in what theologians call the “already, but not yet.”
The victory was secured at the cross — but the clock is still running.

Just as D-Day in World War II determined the outcome long before the war officially ended, the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus settled the ultimate outcome of history. There are still battles. There is still suffering. There is still pushback. But the outcome is no longer in doubt.

In this message, you’ll discover:

• Why disciples are not just learners — but teachers
• How sorrow can suddenly turn into mega joy
• What it means to pray boldly with direct access to the Father
• Why pushback does not equal defeat
• How to live with courage in a resistant culture

Drawing insight from the Great Commission in Gospel of Matthew 28 and the “already, but not yet” framework articulated by theologian George Eldon Ladd of Fuller Theological Seminary, this sermon anchors believers in a steady, confidence-building truth:

Jesus has already won. This is not the end.

If you’re walking through sorrow…
If culture feels hostile to your faith…
If you feel scattered or discouraged…

Pray this simple sentence this week:

“Jesus has already won. This is not the end.”

And if you’ve never trusted Christ, this message clearly explains how to begin — by admitting your sin, believing in His finished work, and confessing Him as Lord.

Take heart. The battle is real.
But the victory is already secured.
