“The joy of the Lord is our strength.”
A Sunday service centered on worship and the church's mission to 'go and make disciples.' The pastor emphasizes the Great Commission, the empowering presence of the Holy Spirit, practical evangelism in the local community, generosity, and an invitation to accept Christ.
“The Bible says that the joy of the Lord is our strength.”
Pastor Allen Jackson teaches that true identity and freedom are found in Jesus and rooted in Scripture. He critiques cultural identity trends, urges believers to allow the Word to discern spirit and soul, calls for authentic conversion (acknowledging Christ as Lord), and outlines the privileges and responsibilities of being in Christ — including sanctification, bold cultural engagement, and living as God’s workmanship empowered by grace.
“the joy of the Lord that is my strength”
Pastor Kent Munsey explains how a perspective shaped by remembering God's past faithfulness produces worship, transforms selfishness into blessing, and equips believers to bless others. He uses Jacob's life and the image of leaning on a staff (a record of testimony) to encourage journaling, gratitude, and gospel-centered surrender.
“But the joy of the Lord shall rise up in your soul to anchor you through whatever you face.”
Pastor Reginald W. Sharpe Jr. preaches on 'Journeying with Joy,' teaching that true Christian joy is rooted in God's grace, endures and even thrives in trials, and must be produced, protected, and practiced as a fruit of the Spirit rather than confused with circumstantial happiness or bodily pleasure.
