Shepherd Dr. Que delivers a powerful message on "Closed Doors, Open Wounds: A Call to Compassion," urging believers in Baltimore, Maryland, to open their hearts and doors to the vulnerable. This sermon deeply explores God's heart for the oppressed, drawing from Old and New Testament principles of justice and mercy, and highlights the betrayal of the divine mandate when churches close their doors.
Dr. Que also shares profound insights on the transformative power of forgiveness as the key to success and addresses the unique challenges of today’s generation, including mental health struggles and the need for ‘tech rest.’ She calls for true unity in society, emphasizing collective action and accountability from church leadership in serving those in greatest need.
The message includes a Pentecostal Laying on of Hands moment for collective prayer and anointing, and a special thank you to Dr. Layne, Senior Leader of Live and Not Die Outreach, for her support and guidance. Additionally, deep gratitude is extended to Live & Not Die Outreach Ministries for the privilege of serving as an Executive Pastor, with fervent prayers for the continued growth and prosperity of both New Found Faith Visions and Live & Not Die Outreach Ministries. The Shepherd also expresses hope for future collaborations where all can worship, love, and support one another in God's name.
