After the offering (skip to 12:50), Pastor Brown preaches “Standing on the Shoulders of Giants” from Exodus 28:1–2,12. We are not self-made. God designs leaders and believers to carry names on our shoulders and on our hearts—with affection and responsibility.
Key movements: Abraham’s intercession for Lot, Israel blessed “for the fathers’ sake,” Aaron bearing Israel’s names, foundations with the apostles, our fellowship’s promise, supporting tired leaders like Moses, honoring modern giants, rescuing giants like David, Paul’s lonely burden, and God’s memorials—Cornelius’ prayers, fragrant giving, and Mordecai remembered.
Call to action: become a “hiding place” (Isaiah 32:2). Put real names on your shoulders in prayer, service, and sacrificial giving. God remembers the carriers.
Scriptures referenced: Exodus 28; Genesis 19; Deuteronomy 9; Revelation 21:14; Isaiah 58:12; Matthew 23:4; Galatians 6:2; Exodus 17; 2 Samuel 21; 2 Corinthians 11:28; 2 Timothy 4:16; Acts 10; Philippians 4:18–19; Matthew 25:35–40; Esther 2,6; Isaiah 32:2.
