Standing in the Gap: The Call for One More

Nov 2, 2025    Pastor Darren Gibby

This sermon delivers a powerful challenge to the congregation to become the "one more" person willing to stand in the gap for their generation. Drawing from Ezekiel 22, the pastor paints a picture of a spiritually bankrupt nation where God searched for just one person who would stand between Him and destruction, but found none. The message confronts the modern church with the reality that we live in a similarly corrupt time—marked by addiction, sexual deviance, moral confusion, and spiritual apathy. However, the pastor declares that the gap is not a chasm; the power of one person surrendered to God can change the world. This is a clarion call for men to lead their families spiritually, for women to raise godly children, and especially for the younger generation (40 and under) to step forward with fresh fire and fearless faith. The sermon emphasizes that being "the one" means living authentically in God's Word, measuring ourselves by biblical standards rather than worldly ones, and carrying the fire of the Holy Spirit into everyday life.
