Jesus, the Uninvited Guest

Pastor Ron delivers a reflective and motivational message centered on the biblical story of Zacchaeus, the chief tax collector, as an illustration of how Jesus unexpectedly enters lives and invites transformation. The theme revolves around Jesus as an uninvited but loving guest who repeatedly shows up in surprising ways, urging individuals to repent, change direction, and open their hearts.

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.

A Resilient Faith

Pastor Ron reflects on what it means to have a resilient faith—a faith that endures life’s challenges, leans on God’s strength, and grows stronger through every season.

Rekindling and Guarding an Ancient Faith

Our Christian faith is a gift that is not static, but instead it’s dynamic; constantly evolving and growing from one season into the next, much like a mustard seed. Paul reminds Timothy to rekindle and guard the gift of his faith, with the help of the Holy Spirit.

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.

The Gift of Humility

The scriptures instruct us to humble ourselves under God’s mighty hand so that God may lift us up in due time (1 Peter 5:6). Humility is defined as having a modest or low view of one’s own importance. It involves putting others needs in front of our own so that they may benefit. Jesus was teaching a message to the pharisees reminding them that their high, religious positions here on earth did not translate into high positions within God’s Heavenly…

Nobody’s Fault But Mine

Let us remember that the fight for justice, peace, and love is not someone else’s responsibility; it is ours. We cannot afford to sit idly by while injustice prevails or hatred spreads. It is nobody’s fault but ours if we fail to act. Let us commit ourselves to pursuing justice, embracing peace, and cultivating love in every aspect of our lives. 

A Faith That Sustains Us Through Difficult Times

A wise person once said, if mountains were smooth, we wouldn’t be able to climb them; they are jagged and difficult for a reason. As we witness the many difficult and sometimes horrific events occurring in the world around us, let us remember those who have gone before us, who were commended for their faith in the midst of extremely difficult times; although they did not immediately receive all of what was promised, God had something better in mind, so…

Choose To Love

Elder Akilah Atkinson examines a few practical ways to demonstrate unconditional love—both to those who treat us kindly and to those who don’t.

Loose Threads

In the course of setting our minds on Heavenly things, there are loose threads (distractions) in all of our lives that can be pulled and potentially separate us from the fabric of our spiritual focus. We should work hard every day to focus our hearts on things above and not let the distractions of this world cause us to miss our Heavenly goal. – Rev. Dr. Ron Hankins’ sermon from August 3, 2025.
