    Let's Dish the Tea

    Minister Terry Harper-Wilson Full Sermon Recorded October 25, 2026 Let’s Dish the Tea Scriptures: Ephesians 4:29; Proverbs 18:21; James 1:19 These scriptures remind us that our words carry power and that what we say can either build people up or tear them down. God calls us to speak words that encourage and uplift, to be mindful of our conversations, and to be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to become angry. Theme: Before you spill the tea, consider what you're pouring into someone else's life. Not every conversation needs to be shared, and not every thought needs to be spoken. Use your words to heal, encourage, and bring life rather than spread gossip, division, or hurt.

    Physically & Spiritually Trapped

    Pastor James D Johnson Full Sermon Recorded October 18, 2026 Physically & Spiritually Trapped Scripture: Matthew 14:22–25 In this passage, the disciples find themselves battling strong winds and rough waters while Jesus approaches them, walking on the sea. Their situation reflects how we can become trapped by circumstances beyond our control and overwhelmed by fear, uncertainty, and spiritual struggles. Yet even in the middle of the storm, Jesus is present. Theme: Sometimes we are trapped by what is happening around us and what is happening within us. But no storm is too great, no situation too difficult, and no darkness too deep for Jesus to reach us. Even when you cannot find your way out, trust the One who can meet you right where you are.

    Stay on the Wall

    Pastor James D. Johnson's 33 Pastoral Anniversary Full Sermon Recorded October 11, 2026 Stay On the Wall Scripture: Nehemiah 6: 1–8 In this passage, Nehemiah faces repeated attempts by his enemies to distract him from rebuilding Jerusalem’s wall. Despite their schemes, intimidation, and false accusations, Nehemiah refuses to abandon his assignment, declaring through his actions that the work is too important to stop. Summary: Everyone will not support what God has called you to do. Don't allow distractions, opposition, or criticism to pull you away from your purpose. Stay focused, remain faithful, and keep building—the work God gave you is too important to abandon.

    Be Led By the Spirit

Johnson's Pre-Anniversary Celebration, featuring sermonettes by Elder Ronald Jones, Minister Terry Harper, and guest speaker Pastor Larry Bates of Community Christian Lifeline Church. (Recorded October 10, 2026) 1. "The Feast of the Lord is Going On" by Elder Ronald Jones 2. "One Battle After Another" (Ephesians 3:20) by Minister Terry Harper-Wilson 3. "Be Led by the Spirit" (Proverbs 3:5-6) by Pastor Larry Bates _______________________________________________ One Battle After Another Scripture: Ephesians 3:20 This scripture reminds us that God is able to do exceedingly and abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to His power working within us. Even when we face one battle after another, we can remain confident that our struggles do not limit God's ability to deliver, strengthen, and bring us through. Theme: One battle may follow another, but God's power never runs out. Keep your faith, trust His strength, and remember that what you face is never greater than what God can do. Be Led by the Spirit Scripture: Proverbs 3:5–6 These verses call us to trust in the Lord with all our hearts rather than depending solely on our own understanding. When we acknowledge God in every area of our lives and surrender our plans to Him, He promises to direct our paths. Theme: Stop allowing your own understanding to be your only guide. Trust God's wisdom, listen for His direction, and allow Him to lead you where you cannot go on your own.

    Pastor James D. Johnson Full Sermon Recorded September 20, 2026 Godly Living Scriptures: Judges 6:1–8; Romans 6:1–2; 2 Corinthians 7:10 These passages remind us that godly living requires more than simply knowing about God—it calls us to turn away from what separates us from Him and allow genuine repentance to transform our lives.
