Shane Idleman challenges the congregation with the question, 'Is the Lord really with you?' by examining Acts 11:21, emphasizing that the presence of God is evident in our active involvement in His work, humility, and unity within the church. He warns against self-deception and the dangers of pride, urging believers to engage in militant prayer and to discern the spirits influencing their lives. Idleman highlights the importance of returning to the basics of faith, such as prayer and community, to experience the fullness of God's presence. He concludes by stressing that genuine worship and sacrifice are necessary for the Holy Spirit to move powerfully among us.

Zac Poonen emphasizes the importance of understanding the true grace of God as outlined in 1 Peter, contrasting it with the counterfeit grace that promotes sin. He explains that true grace leads to sanctification, obedience to Christ, and the manifestation of God's character in our lives. Poonen highlights the necessity of humility in receiving grace, as pride blinds us to spiritual truths and hinders our relationship with God. He also discusses how grace fosters unity among believers and equips them for service, urging Christians to live in harmony and support one another. Ultimately, Poonen calls for a deeper reliance on God's grace to overcome sin and reflect Christ's likeness in our lives.
