Theweightof

EXO.34.1-EXO.34.5;EXO.34.27-EXO.34.29

The weight of a second chance

Bishop Terry L. Hill, Jr. · 2026-08-30T12:00:00.000Z

From Exodus 34, the speaker teaches that after we mishandle what God has given us, God may still speak to us and offer another chance—but that second chance carries responsibility, effort, and preparation. Like Moses, we must “chisel out” what we broke and show up differently so we can leave differently.

AnObligatedCommunity

MRK.2.1-MRK.2.12

An Obligated Community

Bishop Terry L. Hill, Jr. · 2026-08-30T12:00:00.000Z

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.

ZEP.3.16-ZEP.3.17

The Power of God's Community

Elder Steven Harris · 2026-08-23T12:00:00.000Z

The speaker teaches that living near people (or attending church) is not the same as belonging to God’s community. God’s community requires established relationships marked by trust, respect, unity, love, and sanctification—separation from unbelief and ungodly practices. Using Israel’s encounter with Moab and Balaam, the sermon highlights that God gives His people a reputation, preserves His community, and warns that the enemy tries to weaken community through compromise from within.

Elder Tavares Parker · 2026-08-23T12:00:00.000Z
