A Commitment That Does Not Flinch
Loading scripture…
The final night of Summer Revival welcomes a guest pastor from Zion Hope Missionary Baptist Church, who reads Daniel 3:16 and gives the message “A Commitment That Does Not Flinch.” Refuse to compromise The first stated mark of commitment is refusing to compromise. The sermon applies the Hebrew boys’ refusal to bow to a challenge not to exchange worship, preaching, doctrine, prayer, holiness, conviction, or commitment for other priorities. Remain confident in God The message says Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego had confidence before facing the fire and calls listeners to have confidence in God rather than in themselves. Endure the fire The sermon says commitment to God helps people endure the fire. It closes with a call for people whose commitment has been shaky to renew their commitment to God.

Like Moses, we must “chisel out” what we broke and show up differently so we can leave differently.
An Obligated Community
Bishop Terry L. Hill, Jr. · Aug 30, 2026
Teaching from Mark 2:1–12: four friends refuse to let their paralyzed friend miss the opportunity to get to Jesus. An obligated community takes responsibility to carry others, pushes through obstacles, and is willing to take radical steps to put a need in front of Jesus. Jesus first heals what can’t be seen (forgiveness, guilt, shame), then also heals what can be seen to prove his authority, moving people from onlookers to joint praisers.
