Teaching Ministry: Rev. Dr. G. Ray Coleman pastor of St. Mark AME Zion Church
Theme: Dealing with the matter of the Kingdom of God
Hard to define and describe the Kingdom of God
Something we have to ascent to.
You have to beg God for the power. The Kingdom of God and Discipleship
LUKE 14:25-33
Pre-requisites for having in concept of the Kingdom of God forsaking everything – ordinary disciple brings 3 contingencies
- Fulfilled by their affliction.
- How to climb out of your humanness and into your spiritual-ness.
- Those who can’t stand to be challenged can not walk with God.
God FIRST!
If you’ve got life in you live it to the fullest. The repentant life is discipleship.
Change your mind and change the ill core of your being. How you think or feel about persons or things is important. It is impossible to break free of your additions until you have changed your mind. Until you repent you are still in recovery. Repent and then be baptized not the other way around. You can not love anyone or anything else greater than God not even your life. You are not disciple worthy until suffering and rejection has occured.
We are just dusk, just a spec. Redemption by something that has been used and lost its value. The maker pays more than what it is worth to get it back. Your father in heaven is willing to pay more than what your worth to get you back. Men are frightened of solitude when they become aware of responsibilities and duties.
Your love for Christ is more powerful than this world.

Theme: Get into the Flood
Afternoon Service: Get into the Flow
When the church is at its best we are flowing out into the community. To offer job training opportunities. Worship as priest, witness as prophets. Prophets work in the street. It starts with a prophetic source but will always be a progressive course. There are some that go to the beach and never step in the water. There are some who go to the church they are even church experts but they never become members or get out of their seats. They sit back and watch all the time. We can move through our troubles. Look at the Cedar creek bridge. When you are in up over your head as the water rises lean back. Thank you God for the Atlantic, the Chesapeake, the James River, Cedar Creek, Stone bridge, AME Zion Bishop Battle, Elder Pastor, lay people….. let it over flow and GIVE him praise.
