    SUNDAY SERVICE SERMON 22/02/2026

    PREACHER: Rev. Canon Samuel Ali

    TOPIC: Helping hands

    TEXT: Exodus 17:1-13

    Helping hands means giving support, assistance, or practical aid to someone who needs help.
    Helping hands in the church are very important. The leader of a unit can not do the work of everyone.
    Where has God placed you as a helping hand?
    Are you doing your role as a helping hand?

    Who are our helping hands:

    • Our children
    • Members of the family
    • Committees in the church
      We are not put here for ourselves but we are placed here for others

    Benefits of helping hands:

    • Makes work to be done faster
    • Reduces stress and tiredness
    • Brings encouragement to the person being helped
    • Helps you to grow in gratitude to God for using you and for helping you
    • Brings joy to you and the person you have helped
    • Brings progress.

    What makes people not to look for help:
    i) Pride
    ii) Betrayals

    Peace is a reward for helping hands. The helper and the person being helped will enjoy peace.

    The spirit of God is the only one that can help us to be helping hands.
    May you never lack the hands to help others in Jesus name, amen!!!

    Topic: Being rich towards God

    Text: Luke 12:18-21

    What does it mean to be rich towards God?
    This means using your resources to appreciate God for what you have.
    The rich man in today’s basic scripture made plans but one thing was obvious, he was very self-centered and had no regard for God.
    Another way to be rich towards God is through your acts of service. Your smile and encouragement are gifts from God and can be rendered.

    Lessons from the rich man:

    • Don’t be covetous
    • Be thankful to God

    What do you do with your riches?
    Do you have time for God?
    Do you put God in your plans?

    How to be rich towards God:
    i. Invest in the work of God
    ii. Acknowledge God for what you have
    iii. Use every opportunity you have to say God loves you by giving.
    iv. Do good to others

    Why should I be rich towards God?

    • God owns everything you have
    • It shows that you appreciate Him
    • You’ll get replenished according to the promise of God.

    Hindrances to being rich towards God:

    • Greed
    • Ignorance to the fact that this life is temporary and passes away.
      What will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and lose his soul.

    Conclusion:
    When you finally give account to God, will your reward be good?
    The best thing to give to God is yourself first before you can commit your resources.
    May God help us to be rich towards Him in Jesus name, amen!!!
