“the bible says greater is the ending of a thing than its beginning”

1:15PM "Let Him Cook" Pastor Reginald W. Sharpe Jr., Sunday, July 12, 2026

Fellowship ChicagoJul 2026

Pastor Reginald W. Sharpe Jr. preaches from John 21 urging listeners to "let him cook" — to let Jesus work in His timing and way. Using the breakfast-on-the-beach scene and pastoral stories, he outlines several "collisions" believers face (familiar vs. calling, fear vs. God's faithfulness, attachments vs. assignments, guilt vs. grace) and calls for trust, obedience, restoration, and response.

Salem Baptist Church of ChicagoJan 2023

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.
