In today’s message, The Friend Who Is Faithful, Pastor Philip S. France, Sr. teaches on the power of faith-filled friendship and the importance of surrounding yourself with people who will help carry you closer to Jesus.

Through Mark 2:1–5, we witness the unwavering determination of friends who refused to let obstacles stop them from bringing a man in need before Christ. Their faith, persistence, and loyalty became part of the miracle. This sermon reminds us that faithful friends encourage us, support us in difficult seasons, and help strengthen our walk with God.

This message challenges believers to both value and become the kind of faithful friend who uplifts others through prayer, love, sacrifice, and steadfast faith.

📖 “When Jesus saw their faith, He said to the paralytic, ‘Son, your sins are forgiven you.’” — Mark 2:5 (NKJV)

In tonight’s Bible Class, Submitting to the Authority of God, Minister Catrice Groves teaches on the importance of surrendering our will, trusting God’s direction, and living under His divine authority.

In a world that often encourages self-dependence and control, this lesson reminds us that true strength and spiritual growth come through obedience to God. Submission is not weakness, it is an act of faith that positions us to receive God’s wisdom, protection, and purpose for our lives.

This teaching will encourage believers to trust God fully, align their hearts with His Word, and walk confidently in His will, even when it requires humility, patience, and sacrifice.

In today’s message, The End Is Better Than The Beginning, Pastor Philip S. France, Sr. reflects on Genesis 50:18–21 and the powerful story of Joseph’s forgiveness, faith, and perseverance through hardship.

Through Joseph’s journey, we are reminded that God’s purpose prevails even through pain, betrayal, and seasons of waiting. What others may have meant for evil, God can turn for good. This sermon encourages believers to trust God’s process, remain faithful through adversity, and recognize that God’s ending is often greater than our beginning.

The End Is Better Than The Beginning challenges us to let go of bitterness, embrace God’s plan, and walk confidently in the promise that God is always working things together for our good and His glory.

📖 “You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good…” — Genesis 50:20 (NIV)

Tonight’s Bible Class message is “Winning the War Within – Part 4” with Pastor France, centers on Romans 7:18–25 and Romans 8.

In this powerful teaching, we will explore the internal struggle between the flesh and the Spirit, and discover how victory comes not through human strength, but through surrender to Jesus Christ. Paul’s words in Romans 7 reveal the reality of the battle within, while Romans 8 reminds us that there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ and that we are empowered to live through the Spirit.

This lesson will encourage believers to stop living defeated by guilt, temptation, and frustration, and instead walk in the freedom, authority, and victory God has provided through His Spirit. Even in the middle of spiritual conflict, God has given us the power to overcome and live with purpose, peace, and confidence in Him.

📖 “Who shall deliver me from this body of death? Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord!” — Romans 7:24–25

📖 “There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus…” — Romans 8:1

In today’s message, The War Within, Pastor Philip S. France, Sr. addresses the internal spiritual battle between the flesh and the Spirit.

Through Romans 8:1–9, we are reminded that believers are no longer condemned through Christ Jesus, but are called to live according to the Spirit rather than the desires of the flesh. This sermon explores the daily struggle of the mind, heart, and spirit, while encouraging us to remain surrendered to God’s will and empowered by His Spirit.

The War Within challenges us to examine what is influencing our thoughts, decisions, and direction, while reminding us that victory comes through walking in the Spirit and staying rooted in God’s truth.

📖 “There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.” — Romans 8:1 (ESV)

In tonight’s Bible Class, Walking in Authority: The Kingdom Mindset, we will explore what it means to live as believers who understand the authority, identity, and power God has given us through Christ. This teaching will challenge us to move beyond fear, insecurity, and worldly thinking, and instead embrace a Kingdom mindset rooted in faith, purpose, and spiritual authority.

Through Scripture, we will discover that Kingdom authority is not about control or position, but about living under God’s rule, walking in obedience, and representing Christ with confidence and humility. When we renew our minds according to God’s Word, we begin to walk boldly in the victory, wisdom, and calling He has prepared for us.

This lesson reminds us that we are not powerless believers struggling to survive — we are sons and daughters of the King, called to walk in faith, authority, and spiritual maturity every day.

📖 “Behold, I have given you authority… over all the power of the enemy.” — Luke 10:19 (ESV)

In today’s message, The Make Good, Pastor Philip S. France, Sr. reminds us of God’s promise to restore, repay, and renew.

Through Joel 2:25–26, we are encouraged that no season of loss, delay, or setback is wasted in God’s hands. What was taken, what felt lost, and what seemed beyond recovery, God has the power to restore and make whole again. His restoration is not partial, it is complete and overflowing.

This sermon speaks to anyone who has experienced disappointment or delay, reminding us that God’s timing is perfect and His ability to redeem is unmatched.

📖 “And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten…” — Joel 2:25 (KJV)

Beyond the moment of resurrection is a life empowered by the Spirit—marked by freedom, transformation, and victory. This lesson explores how believers are called to live free from condemnation, walk according to the Spirit, and experience the fullness of life God has promised.

Through Epistle to the Romans chapter 8, we see that true freedom isn’t just a moment—it’s a daily reality. As we set our minds on the Spirit, we are led into purpose, peace, and power, reflecting Christ in how we live every day.
As we grow in understanding, we’re challenged to move beyond celebration into consistent, Spirit-led living—demonstrating faith, identity, and authority as children of God.

📖 “There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus… For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free…” — Romans 8:1–2

In today’s message, Graced for Purpose, guest speaker Minister Joseph McGhee delivers a powerful reminder that God’s grace is not only given to save us, but to equip us for the purpose He has placed on our lives.

Through 2 Timothy 1:5–9, we are encouraged to stir up the gift of God within us, walk in boldness instead of fear, and embrace the calling that was established long before our present circumstances. God’s grace empowers us to live with clarity, confidence, and conviction.

This sermon challenges us to recognize that we are not random, we are intentional. We are not limited, we are graced. And we are called to walk fully in the purpose God has designed for us.

📖 “For God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.” — 2 Timothy 1:7 (ESV)
