Sharing the Good News, Making disciples, Speaking the truth!
1 Samuel 4:21–22 (HCSB): 21 She named the boy Ichabod, saying, “The glory has departed from Israel,” referring to the capture of the ark of God and to the deaths of her father-in-law and her husband. 22 “The glory has departed from Israel,” she said, “because the ark of God has been captured.”
Numbers 23:19 (NLT):
19 God is not a man, so he does not lie.
He is not human, so he does not change his mind.
Has he ever spoken and failed to act?
Has he ever promised and not carried it through?

Join us as we discuss ways to improve our mental health and overall emotional well-being. In this Zoom seminar, we seek to expand the health and wellness series with an emphasis on de-stigmatizing mental illness for communities of color and Church folk. COVID19 has only intensified the mental/emotional instability that we brought into the pandemic as well as created new problems resulting from the crisis. Hear from Jonnie L. Wilson, a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate. She is a woman of faith who has followed the call to ensure that her community has access to tools & life skills to renew our minds and live in abundance.
This event has been rescheduled from August 23 to October 4, @ 3pm. If you have already registered for the event originally scheduled in August, then you don’t need to do anything. We apologize for the inconvenience and hope you will join us in October.

Join Commissioned Ministries as we discuss how we can improve our health, boost our immunity, and ward off disease through nutrition.

Hear from Carolyn Green-Hardy who holds a Master of Science in Nutrition & Integrative Health. “Carolyn is passionate about helping others understand the inherit power of food to heal and restore the body’s balance.”

I am not a published theological scholar. I do like to read and study the bible and theological writings. What I am about to share with you will not change your salvation. It is my hope that it will give you a new perspective. I will teach about how Jesus fixed our sin problem and the world fixed the time of Easter.

Breathing. It is an autonomic function of the body. Yes, I looked it up. I breathe without having to consciously tell my body to do it.
On November 16, 2018, my conscious was sedated while a surgeon operated in my airway. The origin of the problem is unknown, but it is recurrent and incurable. It’s another circumstance under which I was born. It is not a consequence of bad judgement from my past. Just like kidney failure is not. It is simply something that I live with.
This time, living with it was difficult. My breathing was labored. I could not talk long without getting dizzy. My blood pressure seemed to drop as I ran out of breath. I could not walk at any pace without losing my breath. I coughed throughout the day. I don’t have COPD, but I think that I may now understand what it feels like.

John 11:1-44
I will use the familiar story of the resurrection of Lazarus as the backdrop to a message that the Lord has been speaking to me. I have been going through a very difficult season in my life. For the first time in my 28-year Christian walk I found myself saying “Lord, if you had been here”. Continue reading “Believe That!”

However, blacks are 20% more likely to experience psychological distress than whites, black men between age 20-24 have the highest rate of suicide (therapyforblackmen.org), and untreated depression in black men often leads to substance abuse, homelessness, incarceration, and suicide (NIMHD Factsheet).
