Sunday Live Service with City of God Church

Have you ever questioned whether God really chose you, especially during life's toughest moments? In a powerful message, Pastor Bernie illuminates the profound truth found in John 15:16 - "You did not choose me, but I chose you." Drawing from personal experiences and biblical wisdom, he reveals how God deliberately selects us despite our imperfections, just as his brother chose to restore a broken-down Pontiac Grand Am. Through vivid analogies and heartfelt insights, Pastor Bernie emphasizes that our divine selection isn't just about personal salvation but about bearing lasting fruit. He challenges the congregation to embrace their royal priesthood identity (1 Peter 2:9) and fulfill their God-given purpose, whether that means raising godly children, serving faithfully behind the scenes, or bringing light to the workplace. The message culminates in an urgent call for believers to stop living beneath their spiritual heritage and instead walk confidently in their divine calling, regardless of past mistakes or current circumstances. "Walk like the royalty God has called you to be," he declares, reminding us that our chosen status demands a response of faithful stewardship.
