🙏🏽 Don’t Stop Praying—Pray On!

Speaker: Elder Chrisanthony Williams
📖 Luke 18:1–8

Today’s message reminded us to keep praying and never lose heart! Even when the answer seems delayed, we can trust that God hears us.

Five reasons to pray on:

☁️ Delay is not denial. Keep trusting God through the waiting.

🌧️ Small clouds carry big rain. Don’t overlook small signs of hope.

🔒 Prayer works behind locked doors. God can move in places we cannot reach.

🙌 Heaven keeps every prayer. Your cries are not forgotten.

❤️ You never pray alone. God’s presence sustains you when words are hard to find.

Whatever you are facing, keep your faith and continue seeking God. Don’t stop praying—pray on!

🙌🏾 The Shepherd Covers the Sheep 🙌🏾

📖 Psalm 23
🎤 Speaker: Elder Chrisanthony Williams

“The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.”

What a comforting reminder: we are sheep in the care of a faithful Shepherd! He provides, restores our souls, and leads us in righteousness. Even in the valley, we can trust His presence and protection. We never walk alone!

What a powerful Word we received today at Bethlehem Temple COGIC! 🙌🏽

Elder Chrisanthony Williams encouraged us from Numbers 23:19 with the message:

“If God Said It, Believe It—Then Receive It!”

God is not a man that He should lie. If He spoke it, He will bring it to pass! Keep believing, keep trusting, and prepare your heart to receive everything God has promised.

We are grateful for everyone who joined us in worship today. May this Word strengthen your faith throughout the week!

Today, Mother Edith Wilburn shared the powerful message, “A Life of Peace,” from Isaiah 26:1–6.

True peace does not come from perfect circumstances—it comes from keeping our minds focused on God and placing our complete trust in Him. When life feels uncertain, we can stand firmly on the everlasting strength of the Lord.

“Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.” — Isaiah 26:3

May we choose faith over fear, trust over worry, and God’s peace over the chaos around us. 🕊️

🔥 “Take the Shackles Off My Feet!” 🔥

What a powerful word from our Youth Day Speaker, Amber Alvarado! 🙌🏾

📖 Acts 16:22–26 | Isaiah 61:1

Just like Paul and Silas, we may find ourselves in situations that feel like prisons—bound by fear, rejection, insecurity, disappointment, or the pressures of life. But chains cannot stop a praise! 🙌🏾

At midnight, Paul and Silas prayed and praised God, and suddenly the prison doors opened and everybody’s chains were loosened!

Today we were reminded that Jesus came to heal the brokenhearted, proclaim liberty to the captives, and set those who are bound FREE!

⛓️‍💥 I refuse to carry chains Jesus died to break!
🙌🏾 Take the shackles off my feet—I’m ready to praise!
✨ I’m ready to walk in purpose!
🕊️ I’m ready to LIVE FREE!

Thank you, Amber Alvarado, for allowing God to use you to pour into our youth and remind us that whom the Son sets free is free indeed!
