“as we depend on God as our lifter, our glory and the lifter of our head”
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.
“You are the lifter of our head”
A Father's Day worship service focused on the theme that God has begun a good work in believers and that grace continues and sustains that work. Pastor emphasizes that unfinished does not mean unwanted, celebrates humble beginnings, warns against selective or "convenient" conviction, and issues invitations for salvation, recommitment, and church membership. The service also includes church announcements (capital campaign, prayer calls, outreach cohort), a pitch for Bright Star Community Outreach's Turn Model Replication Cohort, worship, offering, and pastoral prayer.
“He's the lifter of your head.”
Prophetess Taryn Tarver preaches on encountering the living God—answering Jesus' question “Who do you say I am?”—and urges believers to embody a faith that demonstrates God's power through healing, deliverance, testimony, and obedience. She calls the congregation to become people of 'no reputation' who will obey, act on God’s Word, lay hands, and evangelize by demonstrating the kingdom in practical ways.
“Because you're the lifter of their head, God.”
Pastor Reginald W. Sharpe Jr. preaches 'Life Part II,' using the board game Life and the sending of the 70 (Luke 10) to encourage believers that life with Jesus is better: though sent into difficult places like 'lambs among wolves,' followers receive mysterious durability, can manage uncertainty because God is near, and are preserved to testify to God's power and grace.
