The Place Where Harlem and Washington Heights Come Together! Sunday service on Zoom.
The Place Where Harlem and Washington Heights Come Together! Sunday service on Zoom.
As we celebrate Dr. Martin Luther King's birthday, many continue to pigeonhole and misquote him, especially concerning his famous "I Have A Dream" speech. Dr. King spoke of much more than "content of character" during that speech.
How many have read or listened to Dr. King's "Paul's Letter To American Christians?" We invite you to listen to it. You will see why those who misquote Dr. King will not use this sermon to support their actions, which go directly against the teachings of Jesus.
Today (June 4, 2023), our Rev. Chapman was the guest preacher at Grace Congregational Church of Harlem! He, as always, delivered a powerful lesson on grace and truth through Jesus. The title of today's service was "Fill Er' Up!" As grace and truth through Jesus are in abundance, then yes, fill er' and every one of us up!
See John 1:1-17 and Exodus 34: 1-6.

In Psalm 16, David illustrates what it means to commit to the Lord.
He humbly submits to the Word of God to allow a fuller understanding of the messages delivered by Scripture. David placed his faith and trust in God and realized the benefits of keeping his eyes on the Lord.
One of the essential benefits is connecting with God and fellowshipping with other believers. This connection enables us to support one another as we collectively worship and serve God and lean into the Word, which provides a roadmap to conducting our daily lives while simultaneously seeking salvation.
People can't have it both ways. The other choice is to submit to the enemy, who will tell you many things to take you on a road away from God. The enemy will tell you that you can mesh pagan practices with belief in the Lord.
No, you can't (and shouldn't) do that!
The enemy will tell you that since you could not commit to God perfectly, why try? It's not good enough, and you can either ignore God completely or, worse, commit to the enemy, for that's a better path to travel.
First, the only perfect one to ever walk the Earth was Jesus. We ARE NOT perfect, but we can strive to get there daily through a commitment to God. The way of the enemy will lead to destruction.
Remember this as we navigate life in America for the next four years. We will experience turbulence due to upcoming acts of evil (such as detaining our brothers and sisters who have migrated to this country and criminalizing women's decisions concerning their bodies), but commit to the Lord. We are not saying life will be easy, but with God's guidance, we will persevere!

“No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and money.

What is wrong with Mayor Adams? Why is he willing to take away one of our most precious resources, our libraries? We can go on and on about how these spaces benefit all of our population, but the six-day library service is about to disappear thanks to the latest proposed budget. Again, we ask Mayor Adams to do better! Please read about it here.
