Always Give God Your Best - Bro. Stephen Shembo

In this sermon titled Always Give God Your Best, Bro. Stephen Shembo delivers a powerful exhortation to the congregation of Bride's Eye Channel about the importance of excellence in both worship and life. Key Themes of the Sermon: Excellence in the House of God: Bro. Shembo emphasizes that since we are in the presence of God, we should strive to provide the absolute best. He uses practical examples, such as dressing appropriately for church—noting that while God accepts us as we are, we should offer our best attire to Him just as we would for a job interview or a meeting with a president. Quality Over Cost: He explains his philosophy for church management, stating that he prefers to invest in high-quality equipment (like computers and furniture) that lasts, rather than "cheap" items that break quickly. He views this as a form of stewardship and respect for God's work. The Heart of a Shepherd: Referencing William Marrion Branham, Bro. Shembo discusses how a pastor's goal is to give the best to the "sheep"—whether through sermons, counseling, or even the quality of church facilities. He encourages the congregation to appreciate this vision and understand that church resources are used to better the kingdom of God for everyone. Biblical Examples of Giving the Best: He cites the story of the woman with the alabaster box of precious ointment (Mark 14), defending her "wasteful" act as a beautiful expression of giving one's most valuable possession to Jesus. A Call to Personal Excellence: The message concludes by urging everyone to give their best talents, time, and hearts to God—whether singing, playing instruments, or preaching—because He deserves nothing less than our absolute best. The overall tone is one of encouragement and "pulling the church higher" to a level of shared excellence and fellowship.
