“O clap your hands, all ye people; shout unto the Lord with the voice of triumph.”
Elder Christopher Goodson urges believers to remain faithful amid discouragement by identifying three enemies of endurance—ministry fatigue, the frustration of waiting, and the temptation to quit—and offers pastoral encouragement and practical steps (rest in Christ, community, patience, continued service and giving) to persevere until God’s promised harvest arrives.
““Psalm 47:1 says you should be clapping before the Lord.””
Tim Dilena exhorts listeners to pursue a life that pleases God so God will fight on their behalf. Using Daniel in the lion's den and other biblical examples, he teaches that faithful obedience, persistent prayer, worship (the "sacrifice of praise"), and boldness in truth cause the schemes of enemies to backfire. He warns about a culture that removes God, urges Christians not to fight people but to submit to God, and closes with an invitation to surrender to Christ for breakthrough.
“Clap your hands in the presence of the Lord; open up your mouth and shout hallelujah.”
Pastor Willie Lee Young Jr. preached from Acts 1:9–14 (Ascension narrative), calling the congregation to stop 'standing and gazing' at what was lost, be interrupted out of spiritual stagnation, embrace the Holy Spirit's power, and move into obedience, prayerful unity, and mission. The service also celebrated Mother's Day with a poem, gifts, and church announcements, and concluded with appeals for salvation, church membership, and restored fellowship.
“You ought to wave your hands and shout unto God with a voice of triumph.”
Pastor Demetrio Dockery preaches on 2 Samuel 6 about 'the house that hosted God.' He contrasts Uzzah's fatal mishandling of the Ark (a result of casualness and shortcuts) with Obed‑Edom's preparedness and availability, showing that when God's presence is properly welcomed it transforms and blesses a household. The sermon calls listeners to consecration, obedience, and intentional preparation to receive God's presence and its accompanying transformation across family, finances, and life.
