Beloved, Today is Wednesday, H.O.P.E. (Hour Of Power and Encouragement) Wednesday, and I want you to begin this day with the expectation and belief that you are empowered by the indwelling of God the Holy Spirit and encourage you to confidently walk in His presence throughout the day. I also want you, child of God, to be focused. Focused on what? Focused on what you do and why you do it. We go through our daily lives and many things can seem mundane or routine, so much so t

Beloved, I have a couple of things that I am celebrating today. First, I am celebrating my 26 years of marriage to my wonderful wife and I am hoping for more years with her. Second, I am celebrating my second year of being pastor of the incredible, dynamic, growing church called Zion Memorial Missionary Baptist Church and I am hoping for more years with Zion. And, third, most importantly, I am celebrating my life in Christ that makes all of this possible and I am hoping fo

My Zion Memorial Church Family, What joy it brought me to be with so many of you on Sunday in God's house, our house. I enjoyed our time with Bluestone but there is nothing like worshiping with my own church family in our house. It is in our house that we come together to worship. It is in our house that we come together to fellowship. It is in our house that we come together to show our love for God and each other. It is in our house that we receive revelation from God t

Beloved, I am still reveling in the afterglow of our time together with our Bluestone cousins. I was blessed. Reverend Dennis said that he and his congregation were blessed. I pray that all of you who came were blessed. Each time, before I preach, I pray. I ask God to help me to do what God would have me to do that will please God the most. I ask and I trust that my prayers will be answered and whatever God gives me, in that moment, is what God would want me to have to d

For those who could not make it, thank you for your prayers. The Spirit was high and the fellowship was rich...and the food was GOOD! Next Sunday, we will all be together aga

Beloved, First, thank you to all who made it out last night for the community meeting with Councilman Derwin Montgomery. It was a first step and, prayerfully, not the last. For those who did not make it, thank you for your prayers. We made some progress that will, hopefully, lead to more progress. We are striving to be a community church that desires to make a difference for God on behalf of those in the immediate community of Zion Memorial and not simply a church in the

Beloved Church Family, Okay. Okay. Let's get it out of the way. HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY!!! Get your fun on. Get your eat on. Get your fireworks on. Safely enjoy the day that we celebrate as our country's day of independence, our country's day of freedom. As an American citizen, you should celebrate.

Beloved, How wonderful it was to see so many of you on Sunday and what a blessed day it was!!! We got to see two young men get baptized. Both had given their lives to Christ at Vacation Bible School. Thank God for giving us that teaching ministry and for us continuing to let ourselves be used in His service to bring the lost to Christ. We also extended the right hand of fellowship to three members, two returning to Zion Memorial. Finally, we had one person come forth to
