Episode Details

In "Believe in Him - Part 4," Pastor Omar Ellison explores the depths of 2 Timothy and 2 Corinthians to reveal the mechanics of a faith that cannot be shaken. He challenges the believer to move beyond a mere intellectual belief in scripture and into a personal, persuaded relationship with Jesus Christ—the Author of the Word. Through a transparent look at his own journey from "the red to the black," Pastor Omar illustrates that while trouble is inevitable on every side, being destroyed by it is optional. This message is a roadmap for anyone feeling cast down, persecuted, or fatigued by the pressures of life. -- Faith is directed at a person, not just a concept; it is in Jesus Christ, the Author of our salvation, that we find the power to remain unashamed. -- We must commit our situations into God’s hands and leave them there, resisting the urge to "pick them back up" through worry. -- Faith serves as a spiritual barrier; while it doesn't prevent external storms, it prevents the "trouble" from entering the heart and causing despair. -- Bitterness acts as a root that defiles the entire environment; we must learn to forgive and refuse to let a "moment" become a "decade" of resentment. -- The things we see with our physical eyes are temporary, while the spiritual victories we don't yet see are eternal. -- Our words grant a "license" to either the Kingdom of Heaven or the kingdom of hell to operate in our lives.
