Church History
Greater United in Faith, formerly known as New Vision of Faith (healing and deliverance ministry), was birthed in 1998. Later on a door was opened on South 321, and from there to Floyd L

n where others joined us, we thus became greater. We knew that the Lord had greater things in store for the ministry, and that He spoke Greater. It was prophesied through Mother Crawford before her passing, that Greater U would be in a church building, and even though she was blind, she saw the layout of the church and stated that we’d have everything we need. After much prayer and fasting in 2005, the prophecy manifested, Greater United relocated and rested on the corner of Calvary and Mountain View. It became a community church under the leadership of Pastor Christine Cathcart who always state that ‘In this house God gets the glory, and God will always get the glory, in THIS house.’
Over the years, we have seen the mighty hand of God, and his power moving within the walls of this church, where many souls being saved, healed, and delivered. And yes we do have yet a greater vision for the ministry while under the leadership of Apostle Dr. Christine Cathcart. Our many thanks and prayers for Brother and Sister Allen who the Lord chose to open the door to us.

Good morning everyone! Today’s morning inspirational scripture comes from I John 2:6 NKJV. “He who says he abides in Him ought himself also to walk just as He walked.”

WALK THE WALK

Have you ever worn a smartwatch or fitness tracker that counts your steps throughout the day? It keeps you aware of your movement, nudges you when you’ve been sitting too long, and even celebrates when you hit your daily goal. But here’s the thing—it’s one thing to know your goal… it’s another thing to actually live in a way that reaches it.

In this passage, John is teaching us that following Christ is not just about what we claim—it’s about how we live.

To “abide” in Christ means to remain connected to Him, to stay close in relationship, and to draw life from Him daily. But that connection should produce movement. A life that walks like Jesus walked.

Not perfectly—but intentionally.

Jesus walked in love.�Jesus walked in obedience.�Jesus walked in compassion.�Jesus walked in truth.

And now we are called to reflect that same walk in our everyday lives—how we treat people, how we respond under pressure, how we forgive, how we serve, and how we love.

Just like a fitness tracker measures consistency, our spiritual walk is revealed through consistent Christlike living.

It’s not about occasional moments of faith—it’s about a daily walk.
�Don’t just wear the name of Christ—walk in the way of Christ.

Prayer:�Lord, thank You for calling us into relationship with You. Help us not only to say we belong to You, but to live in a way that reflects You. Strengthen us to walk in love, truth, and obedience each day. Shape our character to look more like Jesus in everything we do. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Have a safe and blessed day everyone!

Good morning everyone! Today’s morning inspirational scripture comes from John 15:12. NKJV. “This is My commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you.”

COMMANDMENT OF LOVE

In the movie Semi-Pro, Will Ferrell’s character, Jackie Moon, had a simple but memorable motto: “Everybody love everybody.” While it was often played for laughs, the idea behind it points to something people desperately need—a world where love, kindness, and concern for others are more common than division, hatred, and selfishness.

The interesting thing is that what Jackie Moon used as a team slogan, Jesus gave as a command.

Notice that Jesus doesn’t merely suggest love—He commands it.

But He also sets the standard.

Not love one another when it’s convenient.

Not love one another only when they agree with you.

Not love one another only when they deserve it.

Jesus says, “as I have loved you.”

That’s a sacrificial love. A forgiving love. A patient love. A love that reaches beyond differences, mistakes, and shortcomings.

The reason this command is so powerful is because
Jesus loved us when we were at our worst. He
showed grace when we needed it most. And now He calls us to extend that same love to others.

In a world that often encourages people to look out only for themselves, followers of Christ are called to stand out by how they love.

Love isn’t just something we say. It’s something we show.
�The greatest evidence that Jesus is working in our lives isn’t how loudly we talk about love—it’s how consistently we show it.

Prayer:�Lord, thank You for the incredible love You have shown us. Help us to love others the way You have loved us—with patience, grace, forgiveness, and compassion. Let our words and actions reflect Your heart. Teach us to be people who build bridges, extend mercy, and demonstrate Your love wherever we go. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Have a safe and blessed day everyone!

Good morning everyone! Today’s morning inspirational scripture comes from Micah 6:8 NKJV. “He has shown you, O man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God?”

WHAT DOES GOD REQUIRE

Imagine you’re applying for a job. You find a position that looks perfect, but before you can be hired, you have to meet the requirements listed in the job description. Maybe the employer is looking for someone dependable, honest, skilled, and willing to work well with others. The requirements aren’t there to make things difficult—they help define the kind of person needed for the role.

In a similar way, people often wonder, “What does God require of me?”

The clear answer comes from the passage above.

Notice how simple and powerful God’s requirements are.

Do justly — Treat people fairly and do what is right, even when it’s not easy.

Love mercy — Show compassion and forgiveness to others, just as God has shown mercy to us.

Walk humbly with your God — Recognize that we need God’s guidance and wisdom every day, refusing to let pride lead the way.

God isn’t impressed by religious performances that lack a transformed heart. He desires people who reflect His character in how they live, love, and interact with others.

The beautiful thing is that God doesn’t just give us the requirements—He also gives us the grace and strength to live them out.
�God’s greatest desire isn’t merely that we know His Word—it’s that we live it through justice, mercy, and humility.

Prayer:�Lord, thank You for showing us what You require. Help us to do what is right, love mercy, and walk humbly before You. Shape our hearts to reflect Your character in our words, actions, and decisions. Give us the strength to live out our faith every day and to be a light to those around us. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Have a safe and blessed day everyone!

Good morning everyone! Today’s morning inspirational scripture comes from Galatians 6:9 NKJV. ““And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart.”

KEEP GOING

Most of us know the story of The Tortoise and the Hare. The hare was fast, talented, and confident. The tortoise was slow, steady, and consistent. While the hare relied on bursts of speed and became distracted, the tortoise just kept moving forward one step at a time. In the end, it wasn’t the fastest one who won—it was the one who refused to quit.

Sometimes doing the right thing can feel exhausting.
You keep praying, but the answer hasn’t come yet.
You keep serving, but nobody seems to notice. You keep giving, loving, and believing, but the results aren’t showing up as quickly as you’d hoped.

In those moments, it’s tempting to give up.
But God reminds us that faithfulness is not wasted.

Just as a farmer plants seeds and waits for the harvest, there are seasons in our lives when we are sowing long before we are reaping.

The growth may be happening beneath the surface where we can’t see it, but that doesn’t mean God isn’t working.

The tortoise won because he kept moving.
And spiritually, many victories come not from being the most gifted, but from being the most faithful.

Keep praying.
Keep serving.
Keep trusting.
Keep moving forward.
�Don’t let weariness convince you to quit. Your “due season” is connected to your willingness to keep going.

Prayer:�Lord, when we become tired and discouraged, give us the strength to keep moving forward. Help us to remain faithful in doing good, even when we don’t immediately see the results. Remind us that You are working behind the scenes and that every act of obedience matters. Strengthen our hearts and help us not to lose hope. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Good morning everyone! Today’s morning inspirational scripture comes from Hebrews 6:19 NKJV. ““This hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast, and which enters the Presence behind the veil,”

THE ANCHOR

Have you ever watched a boat out on the water during rough weather? The wind pushes against it, the waves crash into it, and the current tries to carry it away. That’s why boats have anchors. An anchor doesn’t stop the storm from coming, but it does keep the boat from drifting wherever the wind and waves want to take it.

Life can feel like that sometimes.
Unexpected bills show up.�Health challenges arise.�Relationships get strained.�Plans fall apart.
The storms of life have a way of testing our stability.

Thats why in this passage, the writer compares our hope in God to an anchor.

Notice he doesn’t say our hope is a life jacket. A life jacket helps you float. An anchor helps you stay grounded.

When everything around us feels uncertain, our hope in God’s promises keeps us from drifting into fear, panic, or despair. It reminds us that God is still faithful, still present, and still in control.

The storm may shake the boat.

The waves may rock it.

The wind may howl.

But an anchored boat remains secure.

Likewise, when our faith is anchored in Christ, life’s storms may shake us, but they don’t have to sink us.
�Don’t put your anchor in your circumstances. Put your anchor in God. Circumstances change, but God’s faithfulness remains steadfast.

Prayer:�Lord, thank You for being the anchor of our souls. When the storms of life arise, help us remain firmly rooted in Your promises. Keep us from drifting into fear and discouragement, and remind us that You are always with us. Strengthen our faith, steady our hearts, and help us trust You through every season. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Have a safe and blessed day everyone!

Good morning everyone! Today’s morning inspirational scripture comes from James 1:5 NKJV. “If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him.”

ASK GOD

Have you ever been putting together a project, fixing something around the house, or trying to solve a problem at work, only to realize you had no idea what to do next? You may have watched a tutorial, called someone with more experience, or looked up instructions because you understood that getting the right guidance could save you a lot of frustration and mistakes.

Life is much the same way.

There are moments when we don’t know which decision to make, which direction to take, or how to handle a situation. The good news is that God doesn’t expect us to figure everything out on our own.

This passage is a comforting promise!

God doesn’t shame us for not having all the answers. He doesn’t roll His eyes when we come to Him with questions. Instead, He invites us to ask.

Need wisdom for your family? Ask God.

Need wisdom for a difficult decision? Ask God.

Need wisdom for a challenging season? Ask God.

Our Heavenly Father delights in giving wisdom to His children. And unlike human advice, God’s wisdom sees the whole picture. He knows what we can’t see and understands what we don’t yet know.

The key is being willing to seek Him first instead of relying solely on our own understanding.

When you don’t know what to do, don’t panic—pray. The God who knows everything is willing to guide you.

Prayer:
Lord, thank You for being a God of wisdom and understanding. When we face decisions, challenges, and uncertainties, help us to seek You first. Give us wisdom that comes from above and guide our steps according to Your will. Help us trust Your direction even when we don’t see the full picture. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Have a safe and blessed day everyone!

06/10/2026

Good morning everyone! Today’s morning inspirational scripture comes from Ephesians 4:26 NKJV. ““Be angry, and do not sin: do not let the sun go down on your wrath.”

In Avengers: Age of Ultron, there’s a recurring moment when Black Widow approaches the Hulk after a battle and softly says, “The sun’s getting real low.” The phrase was designed to help calm him down before his anger spiraled further and before he caused damage he never intended. The goal wasn't to pretend the anger wasn't there—it was to keep it from taking control.

In this passage, notice that Paul doesn't say, "Never be angry." Anger itself is a natural emotion. There are things in this world that should make us angry— injustice, cruelty, sin, and wrongdoing.

The danger comes when anger is left unchecked.

What starts as frustration can become bitterness. What starts as hurt can become resentment. What starts as a disagreement can become a broken relationship.

That's why Paul tells us not to let the sun go down on our wrath. In other words, don't allow anger to settle in and make itself at home in your heart.

Deal with it. Pray about it. Talk through it. Surrender it to God.

The longer we hold onto anger, the more opportunity it has to control us instead of us controlling it.

God wants us to address anger before it grows into something far more destructive.

It's okay to feel angry—but don't let anger become the driver of your decisions. Bring it to God before it takes root.

Prayer:
Lord, thank You for understanding our emotions and our struggles. Help us to handle anger in a way that honors You. Guard our hearts from bitterness, resentment, and unforgiveness. Give us wisdom to address conflict with grace and humility, and help us to let go of anything that keeps us from walking in Your peace. In Jesus' name, Amen.

Have a safe and blessed day everyone!
