Rev. Tomika McFadden clearly brought a powerful, timely word reminding everyone that "God is always working behind the scenes."
Guest Preacher: Rev. Tomika McFadden (who truly "came ready to eat and left no crumbs"!) Sermon Theme: God is Still Working! STRATEGY OF PRAYER!
Scripture Focus: NLV Ephesians 1:15-25.
The Core Charge: Pastor Rev. McFadden charged the congregation to pray that God would “open the eyes of our heart.”
💎 Powerful Sermon Nuggets & Truth: Hope is the stubborn, insistent belief that God is fully active, even when human history appears stagnant.
Unseen Movement: When we pray, God is actively working, moving, and shifting things—even when our physical eyes cannot see it.
Divine Overrule: When Jesus says YES, absolutely nobody can say NO. Christ is elevated above everything, and Jesus always gets the final word. (Also sung by the Psalmist)
Unstoppable Love: No matter what adversity or trial we face, there is absolutely no demon in hell that can separate us from the love of God.
Loving in Adversity: Loving others through difficult times is highly challenging, but through Christ, it is completely doable (spoken to me personally).
🎶 Music Ministry Missed but Appreciated: The congregation missed the incredible ministry of Music Leader, Sis. Dramine, and keeps her lifted up.
Guest Psalmist: A huge congratulations and appreciation to guest psalmist Trinity Colbert! She blessed the service with her gift of song fresh off graduating from Howard University with a Bachelor of Music Therapy and a minor in Classical Voice.
