Sunday PM Service | September 6, 2026

Main message: Christians are called to be a courageous minority who stand firm for biblical truth rather than conform to the cultural majority; God uses faithful few to advance his purposes.

Key points:

• The cultural majority often opposes God, so staying faithful will frequently place believers in a minority.
• Being in the minority is not a handicap — fear and shame are the real burdens, not faithful separation from the world.
• Biblical and historical examples (Noah, Daniel, Samuel, Jeremiah, Esther; Hugh Latimer, John Hancock, John Bunyan, Spurgeon, Wesley, William Carey, D.L. Moody, etc.) show how a resolute few can change history.
• Practical marks of the “courageous minority” include prayer, Bible reading, soul-winning, holiness, faithfulness to church, and speaking against evil.
• The preacher calls for a personal commitment (“your John Hancock”) to obey God rather than follow the crowd.

Scriptures mentioned: 1 Samuel 17:23–33, Matthew 7:13–14
