I don’t see how anyone one would not want to follow the most Gracious Leader of them all, King Jesus! He’s the one whom God's holy wrath, against the sin of the world, was poured upon. For it was Jesus’ special blood that would redeem us from sin. Not Mary’s! Not Adam’s! Not David’s! Not Abraham’s! And not Moses’! But Jesus!!! Rev . James Douglas, in this very special Christmas sermon, LEAD ME TO JESUS (48 Minutes; SRBC Cyber Sermon #48) paints a vivid story of the birth of Jesus. He even spoke of the times we were warned of our Lord from 7 centuries before Christ was even born. In case you’re confused, Rev. Douglas makes it very clear for those of us who are confused of what God owes us (absolutely nothing) and how we owe Him everything! He also gives explanations of what we should say when being questioned about why we celebrate the Almighty King.

WARNING! This is not the traditional Jonah & the big fish story that you’re used to. In Rev. Douglas’s words, don’t go fetching the hot sauce from the cabinet (or in my case the fridge-I like my hot sauce cold) for your 3 piece lake trout dinner!!! This is a story about a reluctant prophet who runs from God, suffers a mighty storm both physically & spiritually & has a tantrum when God’s will was done. Jonah is the epitome of a Cold Hearted Soul! However, if you take a look/listen at JONAH, THE COLD HEARTED PROPHET (Jonah 1:1-3 & 4:6-10; 59 Minutes; SRBC Cyber Sermon #46) you’ll find that the “warm blood of Jesus can still run through cold hearted veins.” Of the many lessons you may learn from this powerful message, I’ll only mention two. “it’s better to run to God than away from him and that our choices will either cause blessings or troubles.

JONAH, THE COLD HEARTED PROPHET (Jonah 1:1-3 & 4:6-10; 49 Minutes; SRBC Cyber Sermon #46)

Why do the heathens rage and the people imagine a vain thing? That’s the question of the day that gets answered and explained by Rev. James Douglas in today’s sermon, TRUST GOD (Psalm 2:1-3; 48 Minutes; Cyber Sermon #42). Oh what perfect timing is this message being delivered! The world is out of control and intoxicated with hate and corruption within our government, within our communities, within our families and even within ourselves. Let’s take a second to break down these verses: 
 Vs. 1-The people/heathens are plotting 
 scheming to rebel against God. 
 Vs. 2: The kings/rulers are conspiring 
 against God. 
 Vs. 3: They don’t want to follow the 
 restrictions that the rule of God and His 
 king David place over them. 
The heathens, the kings & the rulers are absolutely mad if they think they can defeat our immortal God. In Rev. D’s words, “The world can’t operate without God’s law outside the parameters that God has given us.“ Rev. D. warns us to stop trying to “Un-god God “ and then encourages us to commit our ways to God and to trust Him. Rev. Douglas uses his own childhood experiences with his mother & father as people he could always trust. Listen out for the story of his Mother and the bunny. LOL! Also, listen out for a special shout out to all Mothers.

It’s Easter! So you already know that this week is a continuation from last week’s message. Just in case you missed it, Rev. James Douglas highlighted 3 major events, Palm Sunday, Good Friday and Holy Saturday. But today we’ll hear all about the GOOD NEWS FROM THE GRAVEYARD! You gotta admit, when most think of a graveyard, death, sadness and gloom immediately comes to mind. Some even fear it. However, there was a FAITHFUL FEW (you’ll get the reference if you viewed last week’s sermon) who thinks the opposite-for they were first eye witnesses to the Resurrection of Jesus Christ. Rev. Douglas describes what they saw at the empty tomb & uses the words of Matthew, Peter and David as proof. But he also focuses on one special disciple, Mary Magdalene, who had come back to His grave to prepare His body with a few others. She’s the Mary who washed Jesus’ feet with her tears & wiped them with her hair. Jesus had looked beyond her past and delivered her from not 1 but 7 demons!!! He does that for us too and because of it we owe Him a life that is a living sacrifice. So how much do we love Him? As much as Mary Magdalene? Imagine what this world would look like if everyone did. Have a Happy Easter Solid Rock & Friends!

This Palm Sunday’s sermon, THE FAITHFUL FEW, is very interesting....let me ATTEMPT to explain..... 
The three main events discussed today are Palm Sunday-Jesus’ entry into Jerusalem, Good Friday-Jesus’ crucifixion, and Holy Saturday-Jesus’ sabbath rest in the grave. He goes in deep too Solid Rock! He analyzes the crowd that welcomes Christ on Sunday, scrutinizes the mob just days later on Friday and applauds the loyal few at the grave on Easter. Let me run that by you again a little differently...on one day they were shouting “Hosanna!” Days later “Crucify Him!” Everyone who once cheered for will NOT be there in the end. They sure didn’t for Jesus! Only THE FAITHFUL FEW showed up for the innocent one, the one who will NEVER leave or forsake us, the one who hung in agony, our only hope for salvation, JESUS! Listen out to all the individuals Rev. Douglas calls out who should have been there. It seems as if the list will never end. At that very moment you’re reminded of Jesus’ healing & grace. Right when you’re ready to hear about the next major event, the Resurrection Rev. Douglas ends it and leaves us wanting more. Stay tuned for next Sunday’s Easter sermon.

Warning! Rev. Douglas is “not preaching to tickle your ears” in this week’s sermon, WHY AM I FEELING THIS WAY? (Romans 8:22-23) Instead, he’s preaching truth. Truth of how we must receive both the good and the bad but yet stove to fight the good fight. He reminds us of how God has granted us dominion over the Earth and entrusts us to watch over it and protect it. However, with that power, we still must choose to be obedient to God and aim to resist temptation from the Devil. He tells how the spirit yearns to separate from flesh to go with the Lord and even quotes Pastor Johnson when speaking of life and death. Listen out for why the disaster in Texas occurred and why wild fires burn in California. Also listen to what is said about sin and God’s punishment. Rev. Douglas ends with specific instructions on how we are to prepare ourselves to take a action. One way is to armor up & stand! But be sure to grab the various pieces (as explained by Rev. Douglas) need to “be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might.”

WHY AM I ALWAYS FEELING THIS WAY?  (Romans 8:22-23; 38 Minutes; SRBC Cyber Sermon #37)

The past two moths has been both bitter and sweet for many of us. Bitter because we’re in the midst of mourning a wonderful, wise white haired man that most of us has known our entire lives-our beloved Pastor. Sweet because we’ve been reminiscing and celebrating his ‘ETERNAL LIFE (with) GOD!’ We will now honor his legacy and continue what he started. 
Associate Minister, Rev. James Douglas, begins this week by reflecting on God’s ‘true and faithful servant,’ Pastor Johnson, and gives encouragement to his family by addressing them one by one. His heartfelt words gives comfort. 
 
In this week’s sermon, THE TRUTH OF WHY WE CELEBRATE (Matthew 1:18 & 21), Rev. Douglas tells a simple yet powerful story. He warns of how the entire world must learn the truth and not focus on all the ‘hoopla’ and confusion that surrounds this date that gets celebrated annually around this time of year. He explains how the birth of our Lord & Savior, Jesus Christ, is more than just a holiday and categorizes it as a HOLY DAY! Rev. Douglas uses Isiah, Micah, Moses, Job & Simeon as proof. He gives us specific reasons we celebrate and tells the logic behind each claim but that’s after he shares what God is. Listen out for the comparison between the ‘celebration’ of the Creation & the birth of Christ by God. 
After giving us truth, facts, and evidence of why ‘Jesus is the Reason for the Season’ and how there is ‘No Christmas without Christ,’ Rev. Douglas instructs on how to find and accept Jesus as our Savior. This message sent from God is right on time! It’s is greatly needed and is soothing to our bitter yet sweet souls.

“Oh Happy Day!” followed by a clap and a huge grin is what Pastor chanted right before recording this week’s sermon. “God revealed to our country who will lead us...everything will be alright!” He then reminded us of how God is our source of power & how it is ok to rely on Him, especially during our earthly lives. When it comes to eternal life, Pastor hints that it is not an inherent part of human existence, but a unique gift from God, after all,  our faith in eternal life isn’t based on the harshness of our social experiences here on Earth. Pastor Johnson distinguishes between the author of death and the author of life. He tells of the purpose that Jesus grants in this life and the next and praises our inheritance as joint heirs of Christ.

ETERNAL LIFE FROM GOD (John 5:11; 37 Minutes; SRBC Cyber Sermon #32)

Unfortunately, sometimes when certain folk die, the movement, the work, the motivation, the joy and the excitement they were involved with dies with them. This was NOT the case for Jesus. This week’s sermon, DON’T BE AFRAID TO SAY IT AGAIN (42 Minutes, Acts 5:27-28; SRBC Cyber Sermon 31) is the ultimate example of a legacy living on. Pastor Johnson begins by setting the scene. He spoke of how the Apostles were called before a Jewish council in an attempt to intimidate them with their institutional authority. It was something about the name ‘Jesus’ but not in a positive way. Even the high priest couldn’t bring himself to use Jesus’ name. Instead, he contemptuously refers to “this man’s blood.” The Apostles however honored the name of Jesus and the power behind it. They vowed to love and spread His precious name. Pastor reminds us that truth must be told. Not the kind of truth that our president tells. Not the kind of truth that the president’s party supports. But the real truth-the name above all names, the one who brings salvation, the light the world, who brings hope for tomorrow, the joy of my salvation, the one who lives deep within’ our souls-JESUS! DON’T BE AFRAID Solid Rock. SAY IT AGAIN, and again, & again.

Imagine hearing the sound of violent bursting winds but not feeling it. You’d initially think the blast came from the sky but then realize that not a single breeze stirred it. Suddenly a blaze of fire magically shows appears, separates into individual flames above you and your fellow apostles with a single flame resting upon your head & then showering you like rain drops of sparks right before disappearing. That’s the scenario Pastor Johnson describes in this week’s sermon, SINNING BY SUPPOSING; SINNING BY SUSPICION (35 Minutes; SRBC Cyber Sermon #29). Pastor explains how these ‘Tongues of Fire’ represents the endowment of the Holy Spirit that enabled the apostles to speak articulately in languages they didn’t know. Don’t get it twisted, Pastor warns that God is ‘an agent of clarity and not confusion’ that awakened the ‘oneness of speech as a unified power.’ He warns of people sinning by supposing and suspicions and basing thoughts on deceitful assumptions, indecisiveness and imagination. When some tried to blame this phenomenon on ‘Sweet Lucy’ (LOL) & other intoxications, Pastor reminded us that wine ‘doesn’t produce this non temporal/semi high type of power’ and that it instead ‘take it away.’ Pastor urges us to not misuse the gift of our minds that God has given us and to not give up, get mad and retaliate when we are unbelieved or challenged. He tells us to ‘Run on in spite of back bitters, ditch diggers, pitfalls and stumping blocks’, for if we do, God, the divine conquerer will have a ‘BIG WELL DONE’ waiting for us in the end.

If you need a little fixin’ I suggest you take a listen. ON THE POTTER’S WHEEL (37 Minutes; Jeremiah 18:4; SRBC Cyber Sermon #26) describes this place where rough edges are smoothed out. A place where bruises and blemishes will be erased. A place where broken vessels are fixed. A place where you are molded and confirmed to a certain image. Pastor Johnson warns that this place is not to judge us or punish us, but is necessary so that we may form into the masterpiece that the Lord has created us to be. Pastor uses Jeremiah, Jacob and Saul (turned Paul) as evidence of the works of this sacred place. You’re probably wondering why I’ve refer to the potter’s wheel as a place and not a thing. It’s because it’s somewhere we need to go/be. We are the clay, different and unique, who must go to the wheel to feel God’s (the Potter) underserved love and everlasting grace. Even when we’re messy. Even if we break. We must go to the wheel to feel the touch of God’s strong hands yet gentle touch. Hands that will restore us. A touch that will renew us. Oh how beautiful, to be molded, sculpted and fixed by God, the Potter’s, hands.

It’s hard to know and understand the will of God if we don’t listen. Thankfully, God has different avenues of communicating with us. Wether it’s through prophets, angels, dreams, visions, prayer, the church or scripture, it is through God’s love that we are given everything we need to, in Rev. Douglas’s words, “not only live but die.” In this week’s sermon, A SETTLED WORD (43 minutes; Psalms 119:89 & Hebrews 1:1) Rev. Douglas speaks of how God “ushers in a new way” of speaking to us. One that’s different than all the ways mentioned above. This entity is categorized as “God’s Final Word To Man.” Phillip the Apostle and Simon the Sorcerer are mentioned as well as Peter and John. As one who was born & raised in the Christian church my entire almost 40 years, I’m not sure why I’ve never thought about God’s Final Word in the way that it’s described in this much needed sermon.

As humans, we’re concerned with the lost and so is God. We were created in His image! Made to be close to Him and should yearn for a relationship with Him. However, many don’t. Instead they remain alone and lost. That’s what makes the theme of the 23rd SRBC Cyber Sermon THE GOD OF THE LOST (33 minutes; Luke 15:1-11 & 20-24) so relevant-the grave peril of our souls being separated and lost from God. We’re reminded of the Gospel truth: God loves the lost. God seeks the lost. God saves the lost. And God rejoices when the lost is found. You probably already know about the three types of losses in the 3 Lost Parables however, Pastor introduces a 4th type of loss endured by the elder brother from the parable of the Prodigal Son of which many have never considered. Pay attention to Pastor’s warning in the beginning. He reveals Satan’s strategic tactic used to separate us from our Creator and persuades us to sin. He also cautions the ‘idea of the isms’ originated in the pits of hell. Overall, these parables equally apply not only to those that lost because they never knew Jesus but also to those who backslide away from Jesus.

Who said Religion & Politics shouldn’t mix? The continuous battle between right/left, Democrats/Republicans, equality/hierarchy and rights/authority continues to riddle the nation. In this week’s message, PREACHING IN THE WILDERNESS (37 minutes Matthew 3:1-2; 10:7 *SRBC Cyber Sermon #22) Pastor Johnson ties it all in. He urges us to use our voices to vote and warns of the dire consequences if we don’t. Halfway through, you’ll be reminded of over a dozen Old Testament Prophets and their responsibilities to deliver God’s word. It’s clever how Pastor explains the significance of “in those days” and “in these days.” He warns how Preachers must “Read the signs of the time” but only by way of “God’s sundial” and concludes with the instructions of how.

The widespread destruction of sin has plagued nation after nation, especially ours with a sinning president surrounded by his sinning Cabinet. 
In this week’s sermon, THE TRAGEDY OF SIN (Palms 51:4-5; 30 Minutes) we’re warned how sin is the “bloodhound of hell that has never lost a trail.” He tells us that even though sin is the everlasting disturber of peace, that there is hope, Jesus. He reminds us how God’s gift of eternal life though Jesus will rebuild and restore our broken and shattered world.
