“Deuteronomy 31:6 — "Be strong and of good courage"”
Prophetess Taryn N. Tarver Bishop delivers a Palm Sunday/deep worship message calling believers to guard the peace, receive the joy and strength God has given, refuse to permit the enemy's attacks, and be activated for prophetic ministry, stewardship, and lasting legacy (including an invitation to Sears Realm and mentorship).
“Be strong and of good courage. He will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.”
A celebratory retirement and transition service for Rev. James T. Meeks after 38 years at Salem Baptist Church (Jan 8, 2023). Centered on Acts 20 and the theme "I Never Can Say Goodbye," the sermon reflected on the emotional bonds between pastor and congregation, the tensions of leadership change, key lessons from Paul's farewell (tears, tension, testimonies), and the formal passing of pastoral leadership to Rev. Charlie Dates. The program included civic recognition, a Baylor University archival gift, prayers, an altar call for salvation, and a stewardship appeal to bless the retiring pastor and first lady.
