Message Title: "There Has Got To Be More Than This"

Description :The goal of our adversary is to shipwreck our faith and to cause each of us to give up! If he can’t get us to backslide, he wants us to live beneath our privileges and adopt a mere survival mentality. But Bishop McLaughlin shared this powerful exhortation from II Samuel 4:4 and 9:9-13 to convince us that no true child of God has to be satisfied with a lifestyle of constant struggle, sickness, and unmet needs. Though Mephibosheth was born into royalty, he languished in poverty in a barren land, crippled by a lie he was sold that led to a perverted view of himself. When he was summoned to an audience with the king, he had no idea that his royal inheritance would be restored. Bishop insisted that we all have a choice to live abundantly or in defeat. Like Mephibosheth, we too have issues. But we can enter into the King’s presence and dine at His banqueting table with our issues, because His banner over us is Love!!!

Scripture(s): 2Sam 4:4 9:1-13
