Are you afraid to share your testimony? Join Pastor Ernest Almond from Higher Definition Church for the latest installment of the "Run Tell That" series, anchored in John 9:1-11 (The Man Born Blind) and 1 Peter 2:9.
In this powerful sermon, Pastor Almond addresses the tension of living as a believer in a world of opposing ideologies. We are all "In the Crossfire" [03:45], caught between those who twist scripture for political power ("Jesus is King") and those who misuse grace as a license to sin ("Jesus is Love") [07:49].
Discover how the world's opposition is not truly against you, but against Jesus Christ and the truth of His transforming work. Learn to stand firmly on your story of deliverance and healing [44:05], just as the blind man refused to let the Pharisees (critics) reject or dismiss his miracle [38:30].
Don't let fear lead to social scrutiny or spiritual bondage [41:53]. Embrace the boldness to share your faith, knowing that the enemy is fighting an unwinnable battle against an invincible foe [53:51]. Your story is God's purpose for your life!

In this powerful message, "There's Honor in This House," Pastor Ernest Almond dives into the biblical call for valuing Pastoral Leadership as part of Higher Definition Church’s annual theme of Honor.
Drawing from 1 Timothy 5:17-21, Pastor Ernest teaches the congregation about the concept of Double Honor—the two primary ways the church is called to support and respect its Elders and Leaders. He details the importance of Provision (supporting those who dedicate themselves to preaching and teaching) and upholding a standard of high Respect paired with Biblical Accountability.
This special message emphasizes that true, trustworthy leadership must meet the high standards outlined in Scripture. It serves as the official ceremony for the Elevation and Ordination of Pastor Rashid Williams, celebrating his faithfulness, proven character, and dedication to the Spiritual Growth of the church family.
This sermon is a must-watch for anyone seeking to understand Church Leadership, the proper role of Accountability in ministry, and why honoring God's faithful servants is an act of Christian Service.
Ready to transform your life experience into a powerful testimony? In this impactful message, Pastor Ernest Almond (a 20+ year veteran in ministry and mentorship) challenges believers to "Run Tell That" and embrace their personal story of deliverance.
Drawing from the gripping account of the Gerasene Demoniac (Mark 5:1-20), Pastor Ernest breaks down the journey of transformation—from being tormented and living "among the dead" to being found "clothed and in his right mind." This sermon is essential for anyone struggling with spiritual warfare, feelings of isolation, or the question of how to witness effectively in a world obsessed with fake-perfect platforms.
Discover why Jesus commanded the man to go "home to your own people" and tell them what the Lord has done. Your assignment isn't to chase a crowd of strangers; it’s to be a living, breathing witness to those who knew your darkness. Turn your authentic testimony into undeniable evidence of God's grace and power, paving the way for your own path as a credible motivational speaker and Christian coach.

In this powerful message, Pastor Ernest kicks off the new series, "Run Tell That," by diving into 1 Peter 2:1-10. This sermon is an essential guide to understanding your non-negotiable Identity in Christ as a Royal Priesthood and the Strategy for living a counter-cultural life of faith. Learn why your personal testimony is power, and how refusing to share it is a form of spiritual malpractice that impacts both your faith and the growth of the Kingdom.
Main Content Summary:
Drawing from a deep dive into 1 Peter 2, you will learn:
Your Royal Identity: What it means to be a "chosen people, a holy nation, and God's special possession" [23:35], and why you must know this identity to have confidence in your life's assignment.
The Cornerstone Strategy: Jesus as the Living Stone and Cornerstone—the only solid rock amidst the world's sinking sand [04:48].
The Responsibility of a Priest: How our identity in Christ comes with a mandate—to "declare the praises of Him who called you out of darkness" [30:41].
Your Testimony is Power: Using the example of the Samaritan woman at the well (John 4), Pastor Ernest shows how a single, shared "word" or personal experience can be the instrument of salvation for an entire community [42:58].
In this final installment of the year-long series on the Book of Ephesians, Pastor Ernest delivers a powerful message titled "The End is the Beginning." This sermon is a celebration of spiritual transition, emphasizing that every ending in our faith journey is a new beginning.Drawing from the conclusion of Ephesians 6:21-24, the sermon masterfully recaps the book's core themes, including the purpose of our spiritual relationships and how to engage in supernatural spiritual warfare using the Armor of God. Pastor Ernest highlights how Paul redefines relationships within the family and society, calling us to be "in the world, but not of the world." The message culminates in a deep dive into the three final blessings Paul bestows upon the church: peace (Eirene), love (Agape), and grace (Charis), defining each of these powerful Greek words and explaining their unmerited nature.The sermon’s central message is that as believers, we are not only receivers of God’s blessings but also messengers. Just as Tychicus carried Paul’s message, we are called to be conduits of God's love, grace, and kindness to others. This sermon is a must-watch for anyone who wants to understand how to move from a season of learning to a season of being a blessing to the world.Keywords:Sermon, Christian, Bible study, Ephesians, Pastor Ernest, Higher Definition Church, End is the Beginning, Spiritual Warfare, Armor of God, Relationships, Peace, Love, Grace, Eirene, Agape, Charis, Christian living, spiritual growth, discipleship, ministry, gospel, faith.
In this powerful homecoming sermon from Higher Definition Church, Pastor Ernest shares a message of hope, purpose, and spiritual transformation. Drawing from John 14:1-4, Pastor Ernest breaks down Jesus’s reassuring words, "Don’t let your hearts be troubled," and provides a clear, actionable guide for navigating life's challenges.
Using the M.A.C.K. acronym, the sermon explores four key principles for trusting God: Many Rooms, A Place for You, He'll Come Back for You, and Know Where He’s Going. Pastor Ernest powerfully connects the biblical promise of a heavenly home to the church’s own journey, celebrating the two-year anniversary of their building and its transformation from an empty space into a vibrant community hub. He emphasizes that just as God fulfilled the vision for the church building, He will fulfill the promise of a "homecoming" for every believer.
The sermon culminates in a powerful call to action, urging the congregation to not just be passive attendees but active "disciple makers" in the mission of Matthew 28. This message is a must-watch for anyone seeking to find purpose, build their faith, and understand their role in spreading the gospel.
