In this electrifying and spirit-filled message, Dr. Frederick Haynes celebrates divine purpose and pastoral legacy. Anchored in Jeremiah 3:15, he reminds us that God raises up shepherds—leaders after His own heart—to guide His people with wisdom and strength.

More than a tribute, this sermon is a declaration: you are chosen by God, not in spite of your struggles, but often because of them. Drawing from the imagery of flowers rising from concrete, Dr. Haynes makes it plain—"You're the chosen one, and flowers don't pick themselves." It’s a word for anyone who’s questioned their calling or their capacity.

🔥 God planted you where you are for a reason. Now rise—and bloom.
