Let It Go

Rev. Khristi Lauren Adams delivers a reflective and spiritually grounded sermon on the challenge of letting go, using the metaphor of hoarding disorder and the biblical story of Lot’s wife to explore the psychological and emotional difficulties involved in releasing attachments—both physical and emotional.

Recognition

Rev. David Harris invites us into the Emmaus story as a journey we still walk today—one marked by honest questions, shared conversation, and unexpected encounters with Christ. In the midst of doubt and uncertainty, we discover that God often meets us not in dramatic displays, but in quiet, relational moments along the way. This sermon reminds us that scripture becomes a living dialogue, renewing our faith and calling us forward with courage and hope.

You’re a Big Deal

Minister Lea Gilmore wants you to know you are a big deal! You are a big deal, because you are known, chosen, named, and treasured by God. Your worth is anchored not in your performance or the approval of others, but in the intimate, personal love of your Creator.

Here We Are Lord!

We welcome Rev. Laura Ingersol back to the pulpit, preaching on the theme: We are people who follow Jesus, and we are equipped for justice work. Hear the Word, grounded in the prayer that God will use each of us for love, hope, and transformation.

Who Do We Listen To? – Choosing the Way of Grace

In times of difficulty and tension, voices clamor for our attention: voices of fear, anger, suspicion, pride. Yet there stands another voice—the gentle angel on our shoulder—whispering truths of grace, mercy, and love. Whose voice will guide our steps when the road is hard? Our task is to listen to the better angels—the Spirit’s fruit that ripens in dark seasons. May we learn to choose grace, to choose mercy, to choose Jesus in a world divided by strife.

As I Depart

Pastor Ron’s final sermon as Govans’ interim pastor offers both spiritual encouragement and a call to faithful action, inviting believers to embody love, courage, and hope in the face of adversity. At its heart is the enduring conviction that God’s light will overcome the darkness.

The Other Side of Through

Pastor Ron preaches on 2 Timothy 4:6-8, 16-18. Paul, nearing the end of his life, reflects on having “fought the good fight” and “kept the faith.” His words remind us that God stands with us in every trial, giving strength to persevere and hope to finish our own race with courage and trust.

The Cost of Disicpleship

When Christ calls us into the Kingdom, no longer should there be any issues in our lives that rival the will of God. Our families, our homes, our professions and our lifestyles should come second, only to Christ. – Rev. Dr. Ron Hankins’ sermon from September 7, 2025.

This Season of Hope

Summertime is often referred to as a “season of hope.” It is a time when the earth awakens, flowers bloom, and life returns in full force. However, as we reflect on the world around us, we find ourselves surrounded by darkness and despair. Minister Lea Gilmore explores how we can believe in hope despite the challenges we face, drawing from the powerful words of scripture.

The Voice of Truth

In a world filled with many alternative truths (lies) and divergent voices, it is more important than ever that we listen and seek after the voice of ETERNAL TRUTH, and that is the voice of Jesus Christ who said “Everyone who belongs to the truth, listens to my voice.” – Rev. Dr. Ron Hankins sermon, November 24, 2024.

Keeping a Clear Mind

The U.S. presidential election of 2024, coupled with all of the many challenging events happening around the globe fall perfectly in line with the prophecies of Jesus Christ regarding the end of days prior to His second advent. Christians must not be distracted or diverted from the important work of spreading the Gospel of faith, maintaining their peace of mind, and being physically and spiritually resilient during these dark and difficult times. – Rev. Dr. Ron Hankins sermon from November…
