1 Kings 2:1-4 “A Real Man”

Sermon date: 6/19/2022

Happy Father’s Day!  Today’s passage from 1 Kings is about King David speaking with his son Solomon and explaining it takes courage to be a man.  The instructions he gave to Solomon were to raise up future fathers and to follow the ways of the Lord in order to be successful. 

Pastor Anthony encourages all men to live up to their responsibilities as fathers to raise Godly men.  We need to be like David and serve our generation with the will of God.

Matthew 21: 33-46 ”Renting From God”

Sermon date: 6/12/2022

In today’s sermon, Pastor Anthony delivers a powerful reminder of how God looks at the church.  In the parable of the evil farmers, the tenants do not follow the terms of their agreement.  God wants us all to be good tenants and workers, He wants us to do our part.  God wants us to carry out His will although He gives us the freedom to exercise our own.  Listen today to fully understand how God intends we work in His vineyard.
