Stop Telling God What You're Not Going To Do | Bishop Vernon R. Byrd, Jr. (Full Sermon 07.19.26)

About this sermon

Bishop Byrd connects Gideon’s Midianite oppression to the present-day systems, injustices, fears, and “isms” that still seek to keep people hidden in caves rather than standing in purpose. He declares that the time is urgent and that God is calling “Gideons and Gideonettes” to rise up, speak truth, serve, lead, fight injustice, answer their calling, and stop telling God no. The message closes with a call to surrender: when God calls, the faithful response is not excuse, fear, or refusal, but “Yes, Lord.” Join us for worship in-person and virtually every Sunday at 9:00 a.m. ET. and virtually every Wednesday at 7 p.m. for Churchwide Bible Study.
