*18/01/2026* *THIRD SUNDAY SERVICE* TOPIC: *WHAT DOES GOD DO?* CONTINUING PROVISION AND PRESENCE  - God protects and watches over us III Genesis 28:15 Deuteronomy 32:11 Isaiah 25:4 Jude 24-25 Matthew 23:37 John 17:11 Philippians 4:6-7 2 Thessalonians 3:3 The Lord is praised because his actions are unique. He sets himself apart from other powers and confounds them (Isaiah 25:2-3). Unlike many powerful people in this world, he doesn’t protect only those close to him while sacrificing the interests of others. Instead, he provides a shelter for the poor and needy. Welcome and assistance for the most underprivileged is a characteristic of God, as is most clearly demonstrated in the incarnation of Christ.

*14/01/2026* *MID WEEK SERVICE* TOPIC: *WHAT DOES GOD DO?* CONTINUING PROVISION AND PRESENCE  - God protects and watches over us II Genesis 28:15 Deuteronomy 32:11 Isaiah 25:4 Jude 24-25 Matthew 23:37 John 17:11 Philippians 4:6-7 2 Thessalonians 3:3 Moses reminds the people of Israel that God had chosen them (Deuteronomy 32:8-9), had cared for them in the wilderness (Deuteronomy 32:10-12) and had brought them into the fertile land of Canaan with its abundance of food (Deuteronomy 32:13-14). The *eagle* is a bird of prey commonly found in the desert regions. The song compares God’s actions towards Israel with the care a mother bird showers on her young. *God not only protected His children, He provided for them, got them moving, watched over them, and guided them to the Promised Land* (Exodus 19:4). In all these actions He proved Himself to be a loving Father to the Israelites (Deuteronomy 32:6). *©️2026* *Ecumenican Church Nigeria ™️* WhatsApp/Telegram: *+2348052366039* Email: *joh...

*11/01/2026* *SECOND SUNDAY SERVICE* TOPIC: *WHAT DOES GOD DO?* CONTINUING PROVISION AND PRESENCE  - God protects and watches over us Genesis 28:15 Deuteronomy 32:11 Isaiah 25:4 Jude 24-25 Matthew 23:37 John 17:11 Philippians 4:6-7 2 Thessalonians 3:3 God’s words so far have also been spoken to Abraham and Isaac, but now God speaks specifically to assure Jacob of his presence and protection. Right when Jacob was running away from the consequences of his lies, God mercifully chose to reaffirm His promises. Jacob was in no position to earn God’s favor. Yet God promised to be with him. *©️2026* *Ecumenican Church Nigeria ™️* WhatsApp/Telegram: *+2348052366039* Email: *johnifesanya@gmail.com* *www.johnifesanya.blogspot.com* *#ECN Ibadan #* Powered by *JDIS*

*07/01/2026* *MID WEEK SERVICE* TOPIC: *WHAT DOES GOD DO?* CONTINUING PROVISION AND PRESENCE  - God provides for the needs of all XIV Psalms 23:1-6; 147:1-9 1 Peter 5:6-7 Matthew 5:46; 6:25-34 Acts 14:17 Having insisted that they were not gods, the missionaries used the opportunity to explain the gospel once again, attempting to turn the people away from worthless things and to bring them to the living God, who had created all things. They said that this God had allowed a period of ignorance in all the nations - including the missionaries’ nation and the hearers’. But he had not left himself without a witness according to Romans 1:19-23 through *divine provision of rain and fruitful seasons* so that people were satisfied and rejoiced at harvest festivals.

*04/01/2026* *2026 ANNUAL THANKSGIVING SERVICE* TOPIC: *WHAT DOES GOD DO?* CONTINUING PROVISION AND PRESENCE  - God provides for the needs of all XIII Psalms 23:1-6; 147:1-9 1 Peter 5:6-7 Matthew 5:46; 6:25-34 Acts 14:17 The sermon by Paul in these three verses (Acts 14:15-17) is a condensed version of his sermon on the Areopagus in Acts 17:22-31. These Gentiles did not know or believe in the Scriptures, so Paul preached truths that were self-evident to all and led his listeners to biblical truth. *Tithes & Offering* Genesis 14:18-20 Account name:  *The Ecumenican Church* Account number: 2280020397 Banker: *Eco Bank Nig.

*31/12/2025* *MID WEEK SERVICE* TOPIC: *WHAT DOES GOD DO?* CONTINUING PROVISION AND PRESENCE  - God provides for the needs of all XII Psalms 23:1-6; 147:1-9 1 Peter 5:6-7 Matthew 5:46; 6:25-34 Acts 14:17 Worry does not advance one’s cause at all; it cannot according to Matthew 6:27-28. It is absolutely useless. It can take up so much of one’s energy that one is paralyzed and cannot act. We need to recognize that while the necessities of life, like clothes, are important, they are not to become an all-consuming passion. Solomon’s wardrobe fades into insignificance beside the simple beauty of a flower according to Matthew 6:29. A flower has a very short lifespan, but God fills it with beauty in spite of this. How much more will he provide food and clothes for the creatures who bear his image? (Matthew 6:30-32). He knows our needs, and will provide for them (although he may not necessarily give us all that we want). Instead of worrying, we must learn to focus on serving the Lord whole...
