A Look Back at Min. Marcie Wilson’s Sermon – DNA of a Champion

📖 Scripture Reference: 1 John 5:4

For every child of God defeats this evil world, and we achieve this victory through our faith.

No matter what life throws your way—challenges, setbacks, or uncertainty—victory is in your DNA! 💪🏽🔥 As believers, we are not meant to live in defeat because our faith gives us the power to overcome the world.

Min. Marcie Wilson delivered a powerful message reminding us that God has already placed a winning spirit inside of us.

If you missed it or need a midweek faith boost, make sure to watch this life-changing sermon:

NEW SERIES: Faith Rehab – Rebuilding Faith That Survives Doubt

We all experience seasons when our faith feels shaky—when life’s challenges, disappointments, or unanswered prayers make us question our beliefs.

Doubt doesn’t disqualify you, but staying stuck in it can keep you from growing.

That’s why we’re launching a new series: Faith Rehab – Rebuilding Faith That Survives Doubt.

In this series, we’ll dive deep into how to:

✅ Confront doubt without guilt or shame

✅ Rebuild trust in God’s promises

✅ Strengthen your faith so it stands firm in any season

This series is for you if you’ve ever wrestled with questions or felt like your faith has been shaken. Come with an open heart and expect God to meet you where you are!

Stay tuned for more details, and invite someone who needs encouragement!
