“The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want — he makes me lie down in green pastures and restores my soul; surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life.”
A sermon using David's experience under Saul (and a Michael Jordan/Chicago Bulls analogy) to teach that believers can 'succeed while bleeding'—thrive in God-given purpose despite opposition—by relying on the Spirit, maintaining a faithful 'yes' posture of service, and drawing strength from present and past successes. It closes with a gospel invitation and practical calls to prayer, Scripture, and humble service.
“The Lord is my shepherd... Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death... He prepares a table before me in the presence of my enemies; surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life.”
Pastor Charles Jenkins preaches from Psalm 27:1 describing what the Bible actually says about God — presenting God's 'resume' and key attributes (light, lifeline, Lord/leader, stronghold) — and issues an invitation to salvation, rededication, and church membership amid ministry announcements and worship.
“The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want... Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.”
Pastor Willie Lee Young Jr. preaches that the gospel alone is sufficient—ready to be proclaimed, never to be ashamed of, and powerful to save—calling the congregation to trust Jesus' finished work, pursue holiness, invite missing members, and respond in salvation, restored fellowship, or membership.
“"folk who don't even go to church quote the 23rd song"”
A celebratory Sunday service honoring Dr. Frederick Haynes III's 43 years of pastoral ministry featuring two guest preachers (father and son). Messages emphasized honoring laboring leaders who serve in proximity, protection, and preparation; and the power of worship—faithful, unafraid worshippers who trust God in seasons of opposition. Service included ministry announcements, community engagement (health, civic participation), a St. Jude partnership, invitations to connect, and altar calls for salvation and membership.
