SERMON
ECWA MARYLAND
Our purpose is to glorify God and we pursue our purpose by:
- Knowing Christ is Lord
- Sharing His Message
- Serving in His Name
ECWA Maryland is committed to preaching and teaching the Holy Bible, the inspired and infallible Word of God; It is committed to developing and strengthening the evangelistic outreach and community service efforts through relationally structured Care Ministry. The Bible makes it clear that serving God ultimately translates into serving others. When we serve others, we glorify God by building up His Church (The Body of Christ).
The Care Ministry of the Church provides, free of charge - material goods needed to strengthen the community and families in need. The material goods include (household goods, school supplies, personal hygiene products, diapers, etc.) Others are fresh produce, meats and dairy products, all come from our partnership with Project Bridges and Capital Area Food Bank. We thank God for the generosity of this partnership and the commitment of our members to serve those most in need.
We believe the Bible to be the inspired, infallible, ultimately authoritative Word of God.
We believe there is one God, eternally existing as Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ is Deity, that He was born of a virgin, that we are redeemed by His atoning death through His shed blood, that He bodily resurrected and ascended into heaven, and that He will come again in power and great glory.
We believe that individuals are saved through a direct, personal encounter with the risen Lord, at which time they are regenerated by the Holy Spirit.
We believe in the present Ministry of the Holy Spirit, by whom Christ indwells each believer, enabling him or her to live a godly life of obedience as he or she reaches for maturity.

God bless you all.The Evangelical Church Winning All (ECWA) in the USA is saddened by the murder of Mr. George Flyod by a policeman who swore to serve and protect lives. We weep as a nation because of our disregard for life not just in Floyd’s case but in so many others. Human life is important to God who created all men equal and He frowns at murder and hatred. Therefore, we identify with all those peacefully protesting the despicable action of Derek Chauvin and the three other men with him. We condemn their action and similar actions in the past and call for an end to racial prejudice in the country.
As a community of faith, ECWA believes the root problem of racism, injustice and all vices is SIN. Sin is rebellion against God and disregard for His laws. This also explains the unfortunate looting and arson which some evil motivated people hijacked the peaceful protests to perpetrate. We condemn such lawlessness as well. We are praying for God’s comfort for Floyd’s family and all people whose businesses and personal property were destroyed. We are also praying for all of us who are hurting because of this evil that has shamed us as a nation.
We are using this forum to plead with all our leaders in the three arms of Government to muster courage and urgently work together in collaboration with our Faith-community to uproot racial inequality and marginalization of minority communities permanently.
On our part, as a church, we will continue to pray and preach the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ which alone can transform, unite, and help us love one another. We will continue to celebrate our individual uniqueness rather than let that divide us. Together we are better and stronger.
God bless America
God bless His Church
