Be Joyful in Hope, Patient in Affliction, Faithful in Prayer

Sunday, August 9th, 2026. Dr. Carlton Crockwell.- “Be Joyful in Hope, Patient in Affliction, Faithful in Prayer.” Love is what God wanted for us as people, saved or not saved. We must be consistent and persistent in prayer. Troubles come, and we must pray for each other.
Look to the Lord when you are afflicted, don’t repay evil with evil. Do what is right and live in peace with everyone.
Don’t let waiting, steal your joy. Don’t let disappointment, steal your faith. Have HOPE! It is ALL possible with God. Wait on the Lord!

Your Strength Shall Return

Sunday, August 23, 2026- Councilman Lionel Bean – “Your Strength Shall Return”. We need to rekindle our connection with God, through prayer, studying the Word and fasting.
Sometimes we find us in situations where we may feel all alone. Regardless of what you may go through, remember that God is with you. You have been chosen by God and as you go through different seasons of your life, you may be challenged. But do not be discouraged. Pray to God to renew your strength, to restore you. Plug into God and feed on his Word.
