In this moving and pastoral message, Elwood Matthews opens John 17 and reminds us of a powerful truth thgat "Jesus prayed for you." Not just for His disciples, but for every believer who would ever follow Him. In a world filled with pressure, division, and distraction, Matthews points us back to Christ’s own words and reveals the heart of the Savior for His people.

Drawing from Jesus’ prayer, Matthews shows how Christ asked the Father to preserve us in the world without being overtaken by it, to sanctify us by the truth of God’s Word, to unite us as one body through love and shared faith, and to bring us ultimately into His glory. He reminds us that holiness is not just outward behavior but an inward work of the Spirit, and that true unity comes not from forced agreement but from growing closer to Christ together.

With warmth, conviction, and clarity, this timeless message calls believers beyond labels, prejudice, and surface religion into a deeper life shaped by the Word, the Spirit, and Christ’s prayer over us.

What makes the Church of God of Prophecy who we are? In this landmark message, Dr. Harold Hunter takes us deep into the spiritual DNA of our movement—revealing a church that was born of the Holy Spirit, shaped by prayer, consensus, holiness, and a bold commitment to take the whole gospel to the whole world.

Drawing from church history, early Pentecostal roots, and the four biblical marks of the Church—one, holy, universal, and apostolic—Hunter reminds us that the Church of God of Prophecy has always been called to rise above race, class, language, and nationality, carrying a prophetic witness to the nations.

From A. J. Tomlinson’s vision to fearless women missionaries, from Azusa Street to today’s global fellowship, this message celebrates a church that doesn’t just believe the gospel but lives it.

New Podcast! This week’s episode of the Sound Doctrine Podcast takes us back to the 1980 General Assembly for a prophetic, Spirit-filled message from Adrian L. Varlack, Sr., with live interpretation by Felix Garcia, titled “Why Tempt Ye God.” Drawing from Acts 15, Bishop Varlack challenges the Church to stop placing human systems, traditions, and financial structures where only the Holy Spirit belongs.

With passion, he reminds us that God “put no difference” between His people—across cultures, languages, and nations—and that true unity comes not from money, methods, or management, but from wholehearted dependence on the Holy Ghost.

This timeless message calls today’s Church to lay down every yoke of self-reliance and return to faith, sacrifice, and Spirit-led obedience. Listen to the Sound Doctrine Podcast as this powerful General Assembly message stirs us again to courage, prayer, and trust in God’s all-sufficient Spirit.
