We cannot turn on the television or log on to our computer without hearing about the debates. We are inundated with who said what, which arguments were the most heated, and who dropped out of the race completely. Clearly, the pressure is on for all candidates to bring their best “A” game. This process, although [...]

Today we honor the voice heard around the nation during the civil rights movement, Dr. Martin Luther King. The celebration of his birth today commemorates the extraordinary work he began approximately 50 years ago which altered the direction in which the United States participated. Such an awesome movement could not have echoed throughout the generations, [...]

As Beyonce and Sean Carter welcomed their princess of hip-hop into the world Saturday, we can’t help but think about how they were able to keep the birth of their child in such seclusion. If you recall, various pictures of intimate occurrences with her husband, including their wedding, have never surfaced. How do you think [...]

On Christmas Day we celebrated the birth of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ! Continuing the “Expect the Unexpected” sermon series, Pastor J came from the gospel of Luke 2:11. He entitled the sermon “ A Savior Has Been Born!” Two things grasped my attention while Pastor J was preaching: 1.) God sent a Savior – Jesus was [...]

During the “Expect the Unexpected” sermon series, Mrs. Wynter Patterson-Davis preached a powerful word entitled, “It Will Rain!” She gave four very helpful principles we know you’ll enjoy reading about: 1. Believe the forecast. 2. Once you have received the forecast, then go ahead and broadcast. 3. Pray for the miscast (When information does not line [...]

You’ve seen them. The one next to you doing all that typing on their phone in church. You know who I’m talking about. Some of them are so bold as to have their mobile device three inches away from their face—typing up a storm. Are you like the many who want to ask them, “I [...]

The launch of the “Expect the Unexpected” sermon series was an extraordinary move of God. Did you feel joy swell in your soul too? Our faith was lifted, our hope was broadened, and our future became brighter hearing Pastor J’s encouragement. As a mother expects the newborn baby after nine months of pregnancy, as a sports’ [...]

Higher D! I hope everyone enjoyed the services today. The kick off to Pastor J’s newest series “Social Networking” was awesome! It’s amazing how incorporating things we use in our daily lives can make God’s Word so plain. How many of us log on to Facebook on a daily basis? Who would have thought that [...]

WOW! Higher D, the conclusion of the “Social Networking” Series was yet another phenomenal word! I love how our Pastor J uses relevant examples to help us determine where we really stand. Have you determined your status? Are you a fan or a follower of Christ? Pastor lifted the story of the crowd in John Chapter [...]

Are you on the Honor Roll? Higher D, what a great message today! God wants you to be on the honor roll! He has called us to bring Him honor by excelling in life, being a Christian, and by representing Him well. Pastor lifted Proverbs 3.9, “Honor the Lord with your wealth with the first fruit [...]

Masks, oozies, and get-away cars! Are you a robber on the run? How often do you return to the scene to commit the same crime? Pastor’s message highlighted the difference between Givers and Takers. Which one are you? The message references Paul as he sits in jail and the church of Philippi comes to the need [...]

Higher D! Pastor really made this live Sunday. Do you whip your hair back and forth or do you stand by and let others do it for you? Pastor talked about the story of Mary in John 12 and how she took her expensive perfume, poured it on Jesus’ feet, and whipped her hair back [...]

JUMP! The opening message for the new series “JUMP” did just that, it jumped off! Pastor J’s lesson for walking on water was exactly what I needed to hear. So often we get comfortable with our situation, our surroundings, and our circumstances. Oftentimes it’s because we are in a “good” place, however sometimes we have [...]

Are you ready to Jump the Broom? How do you know? Pastor lifted questions we must keep in mind as we meditate and think about the life-long commitment called marriage.

God is Gracious! Did Pastor J make “Grace” live or what? I don’t know about you, but Sunday’s sermon truly made me thankful for Jesus. If it wasn’t for God’s grace through Christ, I don’t know where I’d be. Like the song says, amazing grace really does have a sweet sound to it. I’m reminded [...]

The first day of the new sermon series was excellent, wasn’t it? Pastor J gave some principles of why we stop doubting and just trust God: 1.) It delays manifestation, (2.) It hinders mountains from being moved, (3.) It stops miracles, (4.) It interferes with your milk and honey. Sometimes, God has to put us [...]

We heard you, Higher D! Since the first blog for business was such a hit, and there were so many questions on how to find resources and how to employ “Systems,” we thought we would expound on yesterday’s entry. We’re glad you found an interest in being effective within entrepreneurship. Our speaker Norris Williams mentioned a [...]
