Pastor Ernest tackled one of the most honest and difficult questions we face: How can a good God allow so much evil in the world? In this message from our Benefit of Doubt series, we didn’t run from the tension—we leaned into it. We explored how evil not only breaks the world around us, but distorts the world within us. And we wrestled with what it means to still believe in a good God who sometimes feels silent in the face of suffering. If you’ve ever felt the weight of injustice, struggled with unanswered prayers, or wondered whether faith can hold up in a world this broken—this message is for you.

Is it possible to love Jesus and still wrestle with doubt? In this message from Matthew 11, Pastor Ernest Grant II opens our Benefit of Doubt series by showing us that even John the Baptist—the man who baptized Jesus and heard the voice from heaven—had questions. Sitting in prison, he wondered, “Are You really the One?” If you’ve ever found yourself in a prison of unmet expectations, delays, or silence from God… this message is for you. Jesus isn’t offended by your doubts. In fact, He invites you to bring them to Him. Because doubt isn’t the enemy of faith—it can be the birthplace of something deeper, stronger, and more real.

What if I told you that excellence is more than a standard—it’s a testimony? In this message at Accelerate Church, Pastor Ernest unpacks how Solomon’s wisdom, leadership, and worship left the Queen of Sheba speechless—not just because of what he said, but because of how everything in his kingdom reflected order, honor, and intentionality.
Listen to this message from Accelerate Church and discover why excellence isn’t about perfection—it’s about preparation. It’s not for show, not for status, but because how we serve reflects who we serve.
