Unfortunately too many people settle for less than God’s best. They start on a journey toward a better life and somewhere on the journey they settle for something mediocre rather than pursuing their best life. They may not die physically, but their dream dies, their vision dies, their passion dies and their zeal dies. Why? Because too many people gave up and did not press into the best that God had for them.

In this season of social unrest due to systemic racism and injustice in our nation, we are witnessing protests led primarily by young people to address and attack these issues. It is our hope that America will abandon unjust practices and live up to its creed is liberty and justice for all. The best path to accomplishing this goal is to stir up love and good works.

When God gets ready to move among His people He always chooses a leader to lead His people according to the biblical models. In each book of the Bible there is a leader celebrated for their integrity, influence or inspiration. Every leader has a following. According to John Maxwell, “If you are a leader and no one is following you, you are just taking a walk.”

Pastor-Select Kevin Earley reminds us that God can arrange and rearrange things in your life so what was not supposed to happen, happens.

Are you ready to follow God's Plan, Focus on His Promises and Fulfill your Destiny?

Guest Preacher Rev Portia Wills-Lee uses John 3:16 to remind us that love has the power to change.

Jesus is teaching us that we should learn to love God with our all: all your heart, all your soul, all your mind and all your strength. The tiny word “all” is used 5,675 times in the Bible depending on the translation you are reading. It is a small word that means a great deal, yet we pay so little attention to it. The word “all” can change the entire context of scripture. Where does all stop? How far does it go and what does it include?

As we celebrate Black history month I want to remind you that God loves His people. The Bible records a story of God’s chosen people named Israel, their oppression, their struggles and their triumph. This is a reminder that God is always on the side of the oppressed, the struggling and the weary. In those moments of uncertainty when it seems that we cannot feel the presence of God, nor experience His peace we should be reassured that God loves His people.

Minister Allyson Smith reminds us to remember what God has promised us, show up and do the work with God through the process and praise God for the yes and no's.

Rev David Dillard challenges us to keep the faith and go to God when our belief begins to waver.
