A young man invited to church was assaulted and killed at home on Sunday morning, illustrating that tomorrow is not guaranteed.

The episode is a sermon by Sister Simone-Pierre Ademoula, the main pastor of the Beautiful International Church (First Love Church). She opens with a prayer in French, submitting to God's word and Spirit. The message centers on Proverbs 14:12, which states that a way can seem right to a person but its end is the way of death. She explains that people often think their choices are good, but they may lead to destruction, so one must trust in God who knows the end. The first example critiques prioritizing work and wealth over serving God, like skipping church cleaning to earn money, citing Proverbs 23:4 and 28:22 to argue that wealth doesn't equal happiness and can lead people to forget God. She shares personal context, being over 60 and retired, stressing that serving God is what matters. The second example addresses seeking pleasure, referencing Isaiah 22:13-14 and a camp with Bishop Dahl, warning that fleshly pleasures like football or parties distance one from God. She tells a story of a young man invited to church who was killed at home on Sunday morning, underscoring that tomorrow isn't guaranteed. The third example warns against pride in accomplishments like PhDs, stating God resists the proud and achievements are grace, not replacements for relationship with God. She references scientists modifying DNA or creating babies in dishes to show they still rely on God's creation. Later, she discusses Luke 7:31-35 about wisdom being justified by its children, applying it to critics of pastors like Bishop Dahl, urging focus on one's own fruit. The sermon builds to an altar call where she invites listeners to accept Jesus as Lord and Savior, leading a prayer for salvation, renouncing Satan, and having names written in the book of life. The episode ends with instructions to visit the church's Facebook page, Telegram, or podcast for more messages.
