Official 35th Pastoral Anniversary Service Pt.2

About this sermon

If you've been keeping up with our program, you will note that in the month of June we celebrated the Official 35th Pastoral Anniversary Service for Bishop and Lady Ellis. As we shared last week, there was an outpouring of love and appreciation for our leaders from the church, community, and from many past and present public servants. Well this week you will hear congratulatory remarks from The Right Hon. Perry G. Christie, former Prime Minister of The Commonwealth of The Bahamas; The Hon Michael Pintard, Leader of Her Majesty’s Official Opposition; and The Hon. Obadiah Wilchcombe, Minister of Social Services and Urban Development. These men represent the sentiments of so many around our country and we were delighted to be sharing the evening with them. Following that segment we will share more highlights from the anniversary message delivered by Dr. Jamal Bryant, the senior pastor of the New Birth ministry in Lithonia Georgia. The message entitled, “Ordained to be Odd” found it's basis in the story of John the Baptist who stood out from his peers because he did ministry different. It was impactful, it was original and it ultimately brought glory to God. That's what Mt Tabor has endeavored to do over these 35 years under the leadership of Bishop and lady Ellis. In this message, Dr. Bryant impressed upon us the importance of being our best selves. He said that, “Originality, creativity and individuality are what makes us stand out and ultimately glorify our God who thrives on diversity. Remember “No two raindrops are the same and no two snowflakes are the same and you and I should embrace our uniqueness.
