Sometimes the help God sends does not arrive in the form we expect. In “They Forgot Joseph (Part 4): The Deliverer They Denied,” Lady Courtney Wright continues the series by examining a recurring biblical pattern: God sends a deliverer, yet the very people being rescued struggle to recognize or receive the one He has chosen. Through Acts 7:9–35, Genesis 45:5–7, and John 1:11, Lady Courtney connects the stories of Joseph, Moses, and ultimately Jesus—three deliverers who experienced rejection from their own people before fulfilling God’s purpose. She challenges us to remember what God has done before so that hardship, fear, or misplaced trust do not prevent us from recognizing what He is doing now. Our security is not found in personalities, institutions, or human authority, but in Christ, our true Deliverer, who has already made us free.

What happens when life becomes so heavy that even hope is difficult to hear? In “They Forgot Joseph (Part 3),” Lady Courtney Wright continues the series by examining how oppression, discouragement, and prolonged hardship can affect our ability to receive what God is saying. Through Exodus 6:1–9, Deuteronomy 6:4–9, and Galatians 5:1, Lady Courtney shows how the children of Israel became so broken by slavery that they could no longer fully hear, comprehend, or act upon the promises being spoken to them. Yet while they struggled to hear, God still heard their cries, remembered His covenant, and moved toward their deliverance. This message encourages believers to stay in faith, hold on to their freedom, keep listening for God, and continue praying—even when the only prayer they have left is a groan.

Faith is not something we simply possess—it is something we develop, exercise, and live by. In “The Life of Faith Part II,” Pastor DeWayne L. Wright continues teaching believers how to move beyond simply believing God’s Word and begin acting confidently upon what He has said. Through Acts 3:1–16, Romans 10:8–10, and Luke 17:1–6, Pastor Wright shows that biblical faith produces corresponding action, grows as we continually feed on God’s Word, and operates most effectively through love and forgiveness. Rather than asking God for more faith, believers are challenged to develop the faith they already have by feeding it daily, putting it into practice, and expecting God’s promises to produce results. The life of faith is a lifestyle of trusting God enough to act on His Word and keep standing until what we believe becomes visible.

Faith is more than positive thinking or repeating the right words—it is trusting God from the heart and allowing His Word to shape what we believe, say, and do. In “The Life of Faith: Believe It, Speak It, Live It,” Pastor DeWayne L. Wright challenges believers to strengthen their faith and stand confidently on the promises of God. Through Mark 11:22–23, Romans 10:8–10, and Romans 4:20–21, Pastor Wright teaches that faith begins in the heart, finds expression through our words, and becomes visible in the way we live. Using Abraham as an example, he encourages us to remain persuaded by what God has spoken even when circumstances appear contrary, to guard what we allow into our hearts, and to continually fill our minds and mouths with God’s Word. The life of faith is a daily decision to believe God, speak in agreement with His promises, and keep standing until those promises become a lived reality.

What does it take to build a Christian life that can stand when everything around you is shifting? In “The Making of an Unshakable Christian,” Pastor DeWayne L. Wright continues The Uncommon Life series by showing how spiritual maturity is formed through intentional growth, consistent practice, and an unwavering commitment to God’s Word. Drawing from 2 Peter 1:5–11 and 2 Peter 1:12–21, Pastor Wright revisits the qualities believers are called to develop—faith, virtue, knowledge, self-control, steadfastness, godliness, brotherly affection, and love—and emphasizes the importance of remembering and practicing what God has revealed. Through Matthew 7:24–25, we are reminded that an unshakable life is built by hearing God’s Word, obeying it, and allowing it to become the foundation beneath everything we do.

What we remember often reveals what we value. In “They Forgot Joseph (Part 2),” Lady Courtney Wright continues exploring how people, history, and even important contributions can disappear from view when they are no longer treated as a priority. Through Exodus 1:8, Genesis 40–41, and Deuteronomy 6:4–12, Lady Courtney examines the difference between being forgotten and being repositioned, showing how Joseph’s name could disappear from certain tribal records even while his inheritance remained secure. From the cupbearer who forgot Joseph until he needed him, to Israel’s responsibility to preserve truth and legacy across generations, this message challenges us to intentionally remember what God has called important. People may forget, records may change, and priorities may shift—but God never loses track of His people or His promises.

What happens when people forget the history, sacrifice, and people who helped make their present possible? In “They Forgot Joseph,” Lady Courtney Wright returns to the message first introduced in her Mother's Day prequel and explores what Scripture teaches about remembrance, legacy, and the God who never forgets. Beginning with Exodus 1:6–8, Lady Courtney traces Joseph's legacy back through his family and especially to Leah, whose testimony declared that God sees, hears, joins, and remains worthy of praise. Through Genesis 29:31–35 and Exodus 3:7–8, she reminds us that while people and even nations may erase contributions or lose sight of those who came before them, God remembers—and when God moves, forgotten people and forgotten stories are never beyond His reach. Listeners may also want to revisit the Mother's Day message, “They Forgot Joseph: A Prequel,” (from May 10th, 2026) for the beginning of this story and a deeper look at Leah's remarkable legacy.

Spiritual growth requires more than knowing what is right—it requires learning to govern ourselves according to what we know. In “Mastering Yourself in Christ,” Pastor DeWayne L. Wright continues The Uncommon Life series with a call to develop knowledge, discipline, and Spirit-empowered self-control. Building from 2 Peter 1:5–6, Pastor Wright teaches that believers are called to intentionally add knowledge and self-control to their faith and Christian character. Through 1 Corinthians 9:24–27 and Romans 12:1–2, he challenges us to discipline our appetites, emotions, thoughts, and desires while relying on God’s grace rather than human effort alone. True self-mastery is not simply controlling yourself—it is bringing every area of life under the lordship of Christ.

Grace meets us where we are, but it was never meant to leave us there. In “Grace Demands Growth,” Pastor DeWayne L. Wright challenges believers to intentionally pursue spiritual maturity, Christlike character, and a life that reflects the grace we have received. Continuing through 2 Peter 1:3–5, Pastor Wright reminds us that God has already provided everything we need for life and godliness—but growth requires our participation. Through 2 Peter 3:18 and Romans 8:1–2, we see that grace and diligent effort are not enemies: God empowers us to grow in knowledge, virtue, integrity, love, and holiness. The uncommon life is not passive. Grace calls us forward.

What makes the Christian life truly different from the world around us? In “The Uncommon Life,” Pastor DeWayne L. Wright begins a new series by laying the foundation for a life empowered by God rather than limited by human effort. Drawing from 2 Peter 1:1–3, Pastor Wright explains that believers have been given everything necessary for life and godliness through the knowledge and power of Christ. This uncommon life is marked by supernatural faith, God’s favor, integrity, and the transforming power of a renewed mind. Through Romans 12:2 and John 10:10, we’re reminded that following Christ isn’t simply about becoming a better version of ourselves—it’s about living from the divine life God has placed within us.

Who—or what—is shaping the person you are becoming? In “Who Is Forming You?” Minister Clevonne St. Hillaire challenges believers to examine the voices, habits, relationships, media, and repeated messages that influence their identity and understanding of God. Drawing from Psalm 1:1–3, Genesis 3:1–6, and 1 John 2:15–17, Minister St. Hillaire explains how spiritual drift often begins subtly: first by hearing ungodly counsel, then entertaining it, and eventually identifying with it. In contrast, the blessed life is formed by delighting in God’s Word, meditating on it continually, and remaining rooted in godly community and biblical truth. This thoughtful and practical message reminds us that formation is rarely sudden. What repeatedly passes through our hearts will eventually leave a mark. As believers, we are called to guard who has access to our souls, build lives around Scripture, and allow Christ—not culture, fear, ambition, or popular opinion—to shape who we become.

What does it look like to truly carry someone else’s burden—not just in prayer, but through practical, persistent action? In **“Raising the Roof,”** Minister Angele Johnson explores the faith, determination, and compassion of the four men who refused to let any obstacle keep their paralyzed companion from reaching Jesus. Drawing from **Mark 2:1–12, Galatians 6:2, and Ecclesiastes 4:9–12**, Minister Johnson teaches that bearing another person’s burden often requires sacrifice, inconvenience, courage, and cooperation. The men in this familiar account did more than bring their friend near Jesus—they worked together, overcame the crowd, opened the roof, and stayed committed until he was placed directly before Christ. This practical and challenging message encourages believers to move beyond good intentions and become actively involved in helping others. Whether through prayer, encouragement, service, consistency, or simply being present, we are called to “raise the roof” for one another and allow God’s love to be seen through our willingness to carry burdens together.

What keeps us steady when life becomes uncertain, painful, or overwhelming? In “Unshakeable: Abiding in Jesus,” Minister Kevin Howell teaches that lasting stability is not found in circumstances, possessions, success, or even our own strength—it is found in remaining connected to Christ. Drawing from John 15:1–11, John 8:31–32, and 1 John 4:9–17, Minister Howell explains Jesus’ picture of the vine and the branches. The Father prunes, Christ produces the fruit, and believers are called to abide—remaining in His Word, depending on His strength, obeying His commands, and staying connected to one another through love and service. This practical and encouraging message reminds us that everything in the natural can be shaken, but those who remain rooted in Jesus do not have to fall away. As we abide in Christ, He gives us the strength to endure life’s challenges, bear lasting fruit, and walk with peace, joy, and spiritual stability.

What if sincerity, morality, or spirituality still aren’t enough to bring us into relationship with God? In “Jesus: The One Way and the Only Way,” Minister Frank Windham delivers a direct and engaging message on why Jesus Christ is not merely one option among many, but the only way to the Father. Drawing from John 14:1–6, 2 Corinthians 5:17–19, and John 4:13–14, Minister Windham explains how Jesus reconciles humanity to God, reveals divine truth, and gives eternal life through the Holy Spirit. Through humor, practical illustrations, and biblical teaching, he challenges listeners to move beyond vague spirituality, religious activity, or personal goodness and place their faith fully in Christ. This message reminds us that salvation is not found through human effort, alternative philosophies, or spiritual substitutes. Jesus alone is the way, the truth, and the life—and through Him, every person can be forgiven, restored, and brought into a living relationship with God

What if one of the greatest acts of ministry isn't speaking—but listening? In “Ministering Ears,” Pastor DeWayne L. Wright continues the Ministry Is the Business of People series by challenging believers to develop hearts that genuinely hear, value, and care for others as Christ does. Drawing from Luke 4:18–19, Acts 10:38, and James 1:19, Pastor Wright teaches that God anoints His people not only to proclaim the gospel but also to minister through compassion, attentiveness, and intentional relationships. He reminds us that people are never interruptions to our ministry—they are the very reason for it. By cultivating "ministering ears," believers become better equipped to encourage the hurting, disciple others, and reflect the heart of God in everyday conversations. This practical and encouraging message reminds us that Christ's ministry was marked not only by powerful words and miraculous works, but also by His willingness to listen, love, and serve people. As followers of Jesus, we are called to do the same—making others feel seen, heard, and valued as we share the love of God.
