Its Resurrection Sunday! Jesus is Risen! Pastor Obie Bradford's message is inspired by Matthew 28:5-8. Matthew 28:5-8 states, "But the angel answered and said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified. He is not here; for He is risen, as He said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay. And go quickly and tell His disciples that He is risen from the dead, and indeed He is going before you into Galilee; there you will see Him. Behold, I have told you. 8 So they went out quickly from the tomb with fear and great joy, and ran to bring His disciples word."

A special time to honor God’s faithfulness and the incredible leadership of Pastors Obie and Kimberly Bradford. For sixteen years, God has used this ministry to impact lives, strengthen families, and build a community rooted in faith, love, and service. This anniversary celebration is more than an event — it is a moment to reflect on how far God has brought us and to rejoice in what He continues to do through this ministry. GREAT LIFE....Keep Walking!!

Psalm 133:1-3 "Behold, how good and how pleasant it is For brethren to dwell together in unity! 2 It is like the precious oil upon the head, Running down on the beard, The beard of Aaron, Running down on the edge of his garments. 3 It is like the dew of Hermon, Descending upon the mountains of Zion; For there the Lord commanded the blessing—Life forevermore."

Pastor Obie Bradford shared a powerful message inspired by Psalms 34:1, "I will bless the Lord at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth." It doesn't matter what season, good , bad, or ugly, I will continuously praise the Lord. Oh, when I think of the goodness of Jesus, and all He has done for me, my soul cries out, "Hallelujah." If they knew your story, then they would understand your praise!

This sermon was inspired by scriptures from the Book of Ephesians 3:13-20, "Therefore I ask that you do not lose heart at my tribulations for you, which is your glory. For this reason I bow my knees to the Father [f]of our Lord Jesus Christ, from whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man, that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height— to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God. Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us..."

“For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.” — 1 Cor. 1:18 (KJV) As the Lord Jesus hung upon the cross — wounded, bleeding, despised, and dying — heaven and earth stood still to hear His final words. Each saying is like a precious jewel, revealing His divine character and eternal purpose. Seven times He spoke — not for Himself, but for us. 1. "Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing." (Luke 23:34). 2. "Truly, I say to you, today you will be with me in paradise." (Luke 23:43). 3. "Woman, behold your son!" / "Behold your mother!" (John 19:26-27). 4. "My God, my God, why have You forsaken me?" (Matthew 27:46; Mark 15:34). 5. "I thirst." (John 19:28). 6. "It is finished!" (John 19:30). 7. "Father, into Your hands I commit My spirit!" (Luke 23:46).

Who won...the Spirit of the Flesh? Watch the full sermon as our very own Associate Pastor Patricia Dunn teaches and preaches a profound message out of the Book of Romans. There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who[a] do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death. For what the law could not do in that it was weak through the flesh, God did by sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, on account of sin: He condemned sin in the flesh, that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit. For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit. For to be [b]carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. ~ Romans 8: 1-7 Therefore, brethren, we are debtors—not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh. For if you live according to the flesh you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, “Abba,[e] Father.” The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified together. ~ Romans 8:12-17 For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. ~ Romans 8:18
