2020 – What a year! COVID-19. Pandemic. Riots. Economic downturn. Division. A Presidential election. This year has been one for the books, and most of us are ready for 2020 to be in the books of history. However, we must not allow this Christmas season to be eclipsed by all we have been through in…
This blog is an excerpt from Pastor Jentezen Franklin’s message “Fast Pray Vote.” “Four million. That’s how many evangelical Christians didn’t vote in the last presidential election. You may think ONE individual vote doesn’t make a difference-but 4,000,000 individuals can determine an election. Are you in the silent majority? Even though we are the majority…
I think most people would agree that 2020 hasn’t been the best year ever. We have and are still facing COVID-19; we now live with a new normal.

I think God has strategically placed us here “for such a time as this.” Our nation needs churches in revival, churches that…
Over 900 years before Christ, Solomon asked a question that leads to discovering the meaning of Christmas, “Will God really live on earth among people?” (II Chronicles 6:18 NLT). Matthew quotes the prophet Isaiah and answers Solomon’s question: “Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and bear a Son, and they shall call His name…
It seems as if the holiday between Halloween and Christmas is almost eclipsed in today’s society. But I want to challenge you not to forget Thanksgiving this year. Oh Thanksgiving is so much more than turkey, pecan pie, and the Macy’s parade. Thanksgiving is a day set aside to give thanks to God for the…
Our General Overseer, Dr. Tim Hill, has launched the “WePrayCOG” Prayer initiative, and I am excited about this. Dr. Hill is asking each pastor and church to pray with him for three very specific things within the Church of God: *Pentecostal Revival and Renewal *Prevailing Unity *Purposed Direction I am calling on you to become…
Recently I met with the Stat Council for the Church of God Michigan and shared with them our emphasis for 2019-2020 which is “Renewal”.
