Sunday's message was both encouraging and challenging, simultaneously uplifting the people of God while pushing them outside of their comfort zone.

Bishop Paulette Farrow Bryant taught from the topic: Turning the world upside down.

Scripture text: Acts 17:5-9, 17 ESV

In this text, a three day revival in the synagogue had taken place. Paul, Silas, and Timothy didn't have money, popularity, social medic, or even a platform, yet heaven backed them! These believers were so committed to Jesus to the point their presence disturbed the status quo. The people of Thessalonica declared they were turning the world upside down!

A mob formed to hunt these men of God down. Unable to locate them, the mob attacked the house of Jason. This text shakes souls! Whereas, in the text the phrase "turning the world upside down" wasn't a compliment, it was a testament to the Holy disruption the men of God caused.

Here are examples of what turning the world upside down entails:

📖 exposing what sin has covered up
📖 flipping darkness into light
📖 replacing deception with truth
📖 replacing despair with hope
📖 carrying a message that cannot be silenced
📖 causing holy disruption
📖 living so powerfully for Jesus that the world can't stay the same

What was stated out of anger turned out to be a compliment. When the Gospel of Jesus Christ shows up, the status quo should get shaken up; impacting communities not just the church. The Gospel is not passive! The accusations came when the men of God refused to cover up who they were. Their influence came from the power of the Holy Ghost. We must refuse to bow under pressure.

God is looking for believers to stand for righteousness even when it's unpopular. This text reminds us that God specializes in using ordinary people in extraordinary ways. Even when it may cost you your life. Let's turn the world upside down!!!🙏🏾🔥

Wavering between two opinions causes stagnation as we can't follow two paths at once. Indecision defaults to making no decision oftentimes trapping us in the exact place we started.

Yesterday, Elder Gloria Thomas delivered a powerful and uplifting message entitled: God can!!
Scripture text: 1 Kings 18:18-40

There are times we may become doubtful about God's capabilities resulting in a turning away from Him and to a person or thing we believe houses the solution.

In this text, the people of Israel had turned away from God and turned to a false god, Baal. Similar to today, sinners turn away from God and to idol worship living lives that aren't pleasing to God.

Elijah proved who was the one and only true living God.
He stood alone against 450 prophets. The only time the people of Israel sought God was when times were difficult in a similar way that some behave today.

In this text, there was God and then there was Baal. Today, there are the ways of God and there are the ways of the world. Oftentimes, people who've chosen to live in the ways of the world will call on God to rescue them from the world.

Elijah made it crystal clear to the people of Israel that they would either serve God or Baal. Today, we have to make the same decision. We either choose God or the world. Elijah trusted God and knew there were no limitations to what He could do. The Bible teaches us in Proverbs 3:5-6 that we must trust and depend on God in everything we do.

In this text, we see that the people called on the God of Baal and he did nothing, but the only true and living God answered by fire!! Whatever you may be facing today, know that God can and He will deliver every time!!

Who is our "Go to" person? What makes them that go to? Personal experience or position? Do we even think about God as being our "go to"? Who we go to says a lot about us!

This past Sunday, Minister Rayvonnia Prichard delivered a powerful message entitled:
"Don't be as rebellious people".
Scripture text: Isaiah 30:1-2, 8-15, 18-21

📖In this text, the Israelites (specifically the people of Judah) trusted in the political and military protection of Egypt, instead of turning to the Holy one of Israel.

📖How many of us are going out to others instead of seeking out God first?

📝Here are a few key points from the sermon:

📍Rebellion can be defined as a willful turning away from God’s rightful authority and an intentional refusal to submit to His commands. It represents a heart condition of pride and self-interest, where one chooses to follow his own agenda rather than God's design.

📍In other words, rebellion is a turning away from God's authority and seeking out our own will!

📍 Sometimes we treat God in the same sense that we don't seek him until we need something. However, God desires for us to repent and to be restored, not to rebel.

📍Rebellion leads to consequences. Just as earthly choices have consequences, rebellion can lead to spiritual, emotional, and sometimes physical consequences. 📖Galatians 6:7

📍God is compassionate and offers mercy & grace to us. 📖Lamentations 3:22-23

📍God empowers us to obey Him and will give us a new heart. 📖Galatians 5:15

📍God celebrates the return of the rebellious🙌🏾

🧠 Remember: When life gets hard, it's only one place that makes sense to turn. In fact He is a person.....God. He will help us put the pieces of life back together the way he desires them to be.

🧠Remember: Isaiah 20:15 the only way to be saved is to return to God

If you've missed Bible study over the last two weeks, you've missed a treat!

We've been studying on the topic: "Chosen to serve"
Scripture: Acts 6:1-7

Local ministries are built by faithful people who are willing to serve wherever they're needed. This passage teaches that serving is not a small assignment, but is ministry and an act of worship to God! Every gift and every role in the local church matters! Whether in public or working behind the scenes, God honors faithful service.

In this text, the Grecians were complaining that their windows weren't being given food fairly. Faithful servants were needed and were chosen to meet the needs of the people. This passage teaches us that teamwork is essential, and that serving people matters to God!

We looked at 5 main points from the lesson:

📖Growth creates the need for more servants. Challenges that occur when there's more growth:
👉🏾 There are more people to care for, there is more responsibility, there are more opportunities for misunderstanding to happen, and there is a greater need for organization. Matthew 9:37 explains why it's important for everyone in the church to participate in serving.

📖Godly service requires Godly character. Acts 6:3 The 7 men who were chosen were well respected, and full of the spirit of God & wisdom.
👉🏾Before God uses our hands, he looks at our hearts. Serving requires integrity, and dependability.

📖Every assignment in the church matters. The 7 men were chosen to serve tables and take care of practical needs but this was still spiritual ministry. Some believe preaching and singing are most important, but so are areas such as janitorial, kitchen, deacons, administration, ushering, door keepers, greeters, treasurer, event committee, dance, outreach, parking lot attendants, armor bearer, nursery, intercession, etc.
God values faithful service in all areas.
👉🏾No assignment is too small when it's done for God.

📖Serving helps protect unity in the church. Verse 1 lets us know that the unity of church was in trouble. The complaint among the windows could have caused division, but wise leadership addresses the problem promptly and head on. The appointment of servants helped the ministry, met the needs of people, restored fairness, brought peace, and protected unity of the church.
👉🏾Good servants help strengthen the church instead of creating confusion. Psalm 133:1 living together in harmony.

📖Faithful servants produce growth. If we aren't growing, something is wrong. Acts 6:7 The church became stronger, the Apostle stayed focused on prayer and the word, and the church continued to grow. When everyone works together, ministry becomes effective.
👉🏾Serving creates an atmosphere where people can grow spiritually and lives can be changed.

This lesson proves that when people are willing to serve even while feeling inadequate, that as long as they are willing, obedient, and faithful, the church becomes stronger, healthy, and effective. It teaches us that God calls all believers to serve and that faithfulness matters more than recognition. God bless!

Her faith, love, and legacy will forever remain in our hearts. 🤍🕊️

Your breakthrough will come when you refuse to quit!!

Bishop Paulette Bryant delivered an uplifting message this morning entitled: "Don't break now"
Scripture text: Galatians 6:9

There comes a point in every believer's life where things become intense and the journey becomes exhausting. Life has a way of stretching us to the point of our limits. Whether it's betrayal, financial struggles, or spiritual warfare, they can make us feel like we're going to break.

In this text, the Apostle Paul tells the church not to be weary in well doing. This text acknowledges a truth that faithful and strong people sometimes get tired.

Weariness doesn't mean one has lost their faith, it means they've carried heavy things for a long time. God even sees even our hidden struggles. The enemy often attacks the hardest when the harvest is near. He knows if he can frustrate, discourage, and overwhelm us, that he can potentially convince us to walk away from the very thing that God is preparing to bless us.

Take note of the following people God strengthened while they were under pressure:

💪🏾Job was emotionally exhausted and questioned his suffering but never turned away from God. He endured and was later restored.

💪🏾Elijah, after calling fire from heaven was later threatened by Jezebel. He became exhausted and asked for God to take his life. Instead, God provided him with food, water, and time to recover.

💪🏾David faced rejection from Saul. He cried, feared, and felt overwhelmed but continued to trust and worship God.

💪🏾Paul was pressed beyond measure. He survived being shipwreck, rejection, and persecutory imprisonment. In this, he still refused to give up and endured suffering. Pressure may surround us but it doesn't have to destroy us.

💪🏾Hannah poured out her soul but never gave up. God eventually answered her prayer with the birth of Samuel.

💪🏾Joseph was betrayed by his brothers and thrown in prison but he remained faithful and rose to leadership in Egypt.

Due season means that there is an appointed time for God's blessings to manifest. There is always a waiting season. Many want the promise but not the process. However, God uses the process to prepare us for the promise. Pressure reveals what's in us. Just like diamonds must undergo pressure, pressure creates stronger faith, deeper prayer, and greater endurance. We must remember that our strength doesn't come from self but from God. God bless!!!
