T. Austin-Sparks emphasizes the critical role of prayer in spiritual warfare, highlighting that the Lordship of Jesus Christ is central to this conflict. He explains that believers are called to engage in prayer that is empowered by the Holy Spirit, as they contend against spiritual forces that threaten the life of the Church. The sermon stresses the necessity of enlightenment and boldness in approaching God, as well as the importance of being fully committed to the cause of Christ. Sparks urges the Church to recognize its authority and responsibility in prayer, asserting that true intercession requires a deep connection to the sufferings of Christ. Ultimately, he calls for a radical commitment to prayer that aligns with the ultimate purpose of establishing Christ's Lordship over all powers.

T. Austin-Sparks emphasizes the significance of a 'new cruse' in the context of spiritual renewal and the necessity of having a vessel that is prepared and set apart for God's work. He draws parallels between the waters of Jericho, which lacked salt and thus failed to produce fruit, and the modern church, which often suffers from a lack of clarity and vitality in its spiritual life. The sermon highlights that true life and power come from the glorified Lord Jesus and the Holy Spirit, who must be central to all aspects of salvation, service, and suffering. Sparks calls for a new vessel that embodies the principles of the New Testament, fully yielding to the Lordship of Christ and the guidance of the Holy Spirit, to restore the church's testimony in the world. Ultimately, he stresses that this newness may be costly but is essential for the church to fulfill its divine purpose.

A.W. Pink emphasizes the importance of honoring Jesus Christ by recognizing His Lordship and majesty in our speech and worship. He critiques the casual references to Jesus in modern hymns and calls for a return to the reverence shown by the apostles, who consistently addressed Him as 'Lord.' Pink argues that acknowledging Jesus as 'Lord Jesus Christ' is essential for those redeemed by His blood, as it reflects the dignity of His divine nature. He warns against the trivialization of Christ's identity and urges believers to uphold the honor due to 'That Worthy Name.'
