Latest Sermon

The Servant's Secret

Bishop Terry L. Hill, Jr. turns to John 2:1–11 and the wedding at Cana to consider what the servants knew about Jesus’ work behind the scenes. Their experience becomes a call to make ourselves available rather than simply hoping to be used. The message emphasizes obedience even when the purpose is unfamiliar or the process is demanding. Filling the jars to the brim illustrates a completed response to Jesus’ instructions. Bishop Hill urges listeners to participate faithfully in God’s work and re

Sustained

October 25, 2026 at 10:00 AM

Marking Citadel’s eighteenth anniversary, Bishop Terry L. Hill, Jr. reflects on God’s sustaining grace through Nehemiah 9. Israel’s wilderness journey becomes a call to confession, gratitude, and dependence on God’s power, presence, and knowledge of human weakness. The message describes God’s care through sufficient provision, preservation of what people already have, and prevention of harm. Bishop Hill urges the congregation to recognize God’s goodness even when it takes the form of maintenanc

Care For The Caregiver

October 18, 2026 at 9:00 AM

From Luke 23:26, we saw how Jesus—our ultimate caregiver—was cared for in a moment of intense human need when Simon of Cyrene was seized and made to carry the cross behind Him. This moment invites us to take seriously the humanity of Jesus and the reality that even those who pour out for others can become weak, burdened, and in need of support. We were challenged to learn how to care well for the people who care for us by being cognizant of their needs, compelled to act, and willing to build t…

Managing My Mouth

Managing Me · October 11, 2026 at 9:00 AM

In this final week of the "Managing Me" series, we were called to take stewardship of our words through James 3:1–12. The message challenged us to see that spiritual maturity is revealed in the ability to control what we say, because the tongue—though small—sets direction like a bit in a horse’s mouth or a rudder on a ship, and it can also do real damage like a spark that starts a forest fire. We were warned that our words don’t just describe our lives; they help direct and shape them, and car…

Manage Your Mind

Managing Me · October 4, 2026 at 9:00 AM

We were called to deeper stewardship by learning to manage ourselves before we try to manage what God places in our hands. From Philippians 2:1–8, we embraced that our minds function like an operating system—shaping our attitudes, assumptions, beliefs, intentions, and behaviors—and that faithful living requires a renewed way of thinking that matches God’s ownership of our lives. Philippians 2 shows Jesus as our template for a well-managed mind. We were challenged to think like Christ by reject…

Stir Up The Gift

Managing Me · September 27, 2026 at 8:00 AM

We were challenged to face the question God asks of every steward: “What did you do with what I gave you?” From 2 Timothy 1:6–7, we were reminded that stewardship is bigger than money—it includes our time, relationships, opportunities, influence, and the gifts God has entrusted to us. Faithfulness isn’t proven by busyness, applause, or visible activity, but by caring for the assignment God actually placed in our hands. We were called to recognize what God has entrusted to us and stop burying i…

Managing Me

The sermon opens the month’s focus on stewardship by turning the lens inward: before managing money, opportunities, or relationships, believers must learn to manage themselves. Using 1 Corinthians 6:19–20, the preacher frames stewardship as living under the ownership of God, recognizing that believ…

Managing Me

Stewardship begins by recognizing that we belong to God. First Corinthians 6:19–20 teaches us that the Holy Spirit lives within us and that being bought with a price changes how we handle our bodies, choices, and priorities. We are responsible for managing ourselves before we can faithfully manage anything else God entrusts to us. Following Christ means yielding our agenda to God and honoring Him in the ordinary decisions of daily life.

Managing Me: Having the Mind of Christ

Biblical stewardship begins with managing ourselves, and lasting change begins in the mind. Philippians 2:1–8 calls us to adopt the attitude of Christ so our thoughts, intentions, and actions reflect God’s ownership of our lives. We are challenged to reject entitlement and practice necessary emptiness by releasing pride, privilege, and the need for recognition. A new life in Christ requires the ongoing renewal of an old mind.

GEN.18.14

Is Anything Too Hard for the Lord?

Genesis 18:14 confronts our unbelief with a decisive question: is anything too hard for the Lord? We can trust God’s promise even when pressure, delay, or present circumstances tempt us to dismiss what He has said. We are called to remain positioned, give God time, and praise while we wait. God can also use the people around us as part of the answer, reminding us that faith and community often work together.

PHP.2.5

Let This Mind Be in You

Philippians 2:5 shows us that managing our lives begins with managing our minds. Because God owns everything, including us, our thoughts and attitudes must be aligned with the mind of Christ. We are challenged to release entitlement, empty ourselves of pride, and choose obedience even when it costs comfort or recognition. Renewed thinking gives us greater capacity to serve God and one another with humility.

1CO.6.19-1CO.6.20

Managing Me 2026

First Corinthians 6:19–20 reminds us that our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit and that we were bought with a price. God is the Owner, we are managers, and every part of life belongs under His direction. We are called to let the Holy Spirit guide our choices and to glorify God in body and spirit. Stewardship begins within us before it reaches our money, opportunities, relationships, or responsibilities.
