Tell the Truth About Your Future
February 22, 2026 | Ricky Temple
Passage: Exodus 23:29-30
In this sermon, Dr. Ricky Temple challenges us to confront the honest trajectory of our lives by examining current patterns and asking whether we are becoming relevant through change or drifting toward irrelevance through denial. Through the book of Acts and God’s promise in Exodus, he reveals that spiritual growth, structural integrity, and personal honesty determine the pace and power of our future.
