“'My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? Why are you so far from saving me...' (Psalm 22:1 quoted).”
“"My God, my God, why did you forsake me" — Jesus' cry as he was about to die.”
Midweek Bible study teaching on the person and work of the Holy Spirit: His identity as God (not merely a force), how He operates with the Father and Son, His roles (Comforter, Teacher, Revealer, Builder), the importance of relationship with Him, and why character (the fruit) must precede destiny.
“"My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?"”
Rev. Washington preaches from Exodus 17 on leadership and the importance of helping hands: leadership endures hardship, requires faithful followership, depends on friendship and support, is authorized by divine calling, and must keep worship rightly directed. The service includes prayers, music, baptisms, new member greetings, and an invitation to salvation.
“'My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? Why are you so far from saving me...' (Psalm 22:1 quoted).”
A Matthew 27:45–56 exposition calling listeners to see the cross as both God’s judgment on sin and the completed work of Christ that secures forgiveness, access to God, hope in resurrection, and a commission to proclaim the gospel.
“My God, my God, why has thou forsaken me.”
Bishop B. Hibbert taught on 'irresistible grace,' explaining that God's grace transforms the heart from the inside out and must lead to holiness and committed discipleship. He contrasted 'cheap grace' (forgiveness without repentance or discipleship) with 'costly grace' (the gospel's call to deny self, take up the cross, and live a transformed life).
“Open to Psalm 22:1-5 (the plea 'My God, my God' and David's cry).”
A Sunday worship service combining extended praise, intercessory prayer, pastoral announcements and a Bible message focused on Psalm 23 (and related Psalms). The preacher uses the metaphor of sheep and shepherd to call believers to know God personally, trust his provision, embrace holiness, receive more of Christ’s gifts (forgiveness, love, power) and then give those gifts away. Service elements include offerings, baby dedications, ministry updates and a charge to be doers of the Word.
“The Bible says you inhabited the praises of your people, Lord.”
A Sunday worship service focused on God's faithfulness and timely interventions, the importance of prayer, guidance and thanksgiving, with teaching from the Psalms about faith, holiness and confident supplication. Practical calls include repentance, persistent prayer and meditation, wholehearted worship, generosity, and readiness to follow God's guidance.
“"he inhabits the praises of his people."”
A Sunday worship service centered on Psalm 107: how God meets people in their deepest struggles — the lost, the bound, the foolish, and those caught in storms — with practical calls to prayer, evangelism, stewardship, and going into 'deep water' ministry, plus community announcements, back-to-school blessings for children, and an invitation to salvation.
“for he inhabits the praises of his people... and that means that he's going to live where there is praise”
The sermon explores what to do when God interrupts your plans, using Paul's conversion as the model: God sets people apart, calls them by grace, reveals Christ, and gives a purpose that requires immediate obedience and alignment. The preacher urged listeners to recognize their calling, stop consulting only 'flesh and blood,' and respond with urgency supported by community.
“You said that you inhabit the praise of your people (paraphrase of Psalm 22:3).”
A Sunday worship service focused on dynamic praise, declarations of healing and deliverance, communion and giving, followed by a sermon using David and Goliath to urge believers to confront giants with faith. Key themes: change your mindset (obstacles = opportunities), serve to access greatness, be authentic, use what’s already in your 'bag,' and receive a fresh anointing of might. Service ends with altar calls for salvation and for connecting to the church community.

“Lord, I am a worm.”
A Bible-study sermon based on Numbers 13 that frames spiritual warfare as primarily a battle over self-perception. The speaker contrasts fear-filtered interpretations of facts with a faith-filtered posture (exemplified by Caleb and Joshua), calls the church to embrace an identity rooted in God's promises, and issues practical calls to prayer, evangelism, stewardship, and readiness to possess the promised land (including a local property initiative).
“'I am poured out like water; all my bones are out of joint; my heart is like wax... my strength is dried up' (Psalm 22:14-15 paraphrase).”

“Allusion to 'pierced hands and feet' in reference to Jesus' crucifixion.”
Pastors unpack the Christmas narratives to show Jesus as the fulfillment of Old Testament promises (the second Adam, the Word made flesh, Prince of Peace), explain differences in Matthew and Luke's genealogies, and apply those truths to contemporary debates about immigration — arguing Jesus was not an “illegal immigrant,” urging Christians to love people while respecting lawful roles of the state, and encouraging faithful, compassionate discipleship at Christmas.
“his hands and his feet were going to be pierced”
Pastor Steve Wilburn preaches from Luke 17 (the ten lepers) under the theme "Forgetting," emphasizing crying for mercy, returning to thank God, and Jesus' wonder that only one returned. He connects the passage to Thanksgiving, urging gratefulness, obedience, seizing gospel opportunities, repentance, and a reverent approach to communion.
“'They divided my garments among them, and for my clothing they cast lots' (Psalm 22:18 quoted).”
