The Message x Mount Moriah

What does it really mean to live your best life? In this message, Elder Mills teaches reminds us that our best life has nothing to do with earthly gain. Our best life is found in serving God, developing a relationship with Him, growing in Christ, and allowing His Word and the Holy Spirit to lead and direct our lives. Christ is coming back. Although no one knows the day or the hour, believers are c...

In Jonah 1:1–16, Jonah receives clear instruction from God but chooses to go in the opposite direction. In this message, Bishop Mills challenges us to consider whether the obstacle standing between us and what God desires for our lives might sometimes be ourselves. God has called each of us to a purpose. He did not ask us to choose that purpose, and no matter how far we try to run, hide, overthink...

Hebrews 11 reminds us that faith is the foundation of our walk with God. In this message, Bishop Phifer encourages us to trust what God has spoken—even when we cannot yet see what He has prepared. The enemy wants to disconnect us from the Word, because if he can starve our faith, he can weaken our endurance. But when the Word gets inside of us, faith begins to speak. We can stand with confidence k...

In 2 Timothy 2, Paul uses the examples of a soldier, an athlete, and a farmer to illustrate the endurance required of believers. In “Giving Up Is Not an Option for Us: We Have to Go All the Way,” Pastor Stephens reminds us that following Christ does not mean we will be exempt from trials, hardship, or discouragement—but through Jesus, we can find the strength and peace to keep going. A soldier mus...

In Mark 6:5, we see Jesus in a place where unbelief affected what could take place. In this message, Pastor Bynum reminds us of the importance of maintaining an atmosphere of faith and expectation for God to move. Sometimes while we’re waiting on a miracle for ourselves, we may have to watch others receive theirs first. But that doesn’t mean we stop believing. We have to be mindful of who we allow...

There is nothing we could ever do to fully repay God for all He has done for us—but His goodness should create within us a desire to give Him our best. In this message, “What Shall I Render?” , Elder D. Mills reminds us to reflect on what God has brought us through, recognize the gift of salvation, and live with a heart of gratitude. God doesn’t need us—we need Him. Yet after receiving His love, g...

God’s knowledge and wisdom are far greater than our own. In this message, Elder Mills reminds us that instead of trying to make God’s plans fit ours, we must learn to trust Him, submit to His will, and allow Him to work in our lives. Drawing from Isaiah 55:8–13 , she encourages us to seek God, nourish our souls through His Word and salvation, and remain obedient as He leads us forward. Even while...

Spiritual growth doesn't happen by accident. In order to make progress, there must be intentional activity in the direction we want to go. In this message, Bishop Mills reminds us that spiritual strength is directly connected to our relationship with God. Although the enemy will attempt to interfere with our progress, we don't have to face life's challenges alone. God is continually wa...

Where does your help come from? In this message, Elder Dee Mills reminds us that God is not only the source of our help, but also our continual protector and keeper. The One who created heaven and earth is able to sustain us through everything we face. His help is available, but we must be willing to acknowledge our need, move ourselves out of the way, and ask Him for it. Our flesh has limits, but...

As the 52nd Annual Holy Convocation comes to a close, Bishop Norris Mills brings the week’s theme, “The Right Foundation,” to a personal question: Where will you stand? A foundation is built to carry the weight of what rests upon it. Spiritually, that foundation is Jesus Christ. Through Ezra 3, Bishop Mills reminds us of the consequences of drifting away from God, the importance of obedience, and...

Storms are inevitable, circumstances change, and there will be moments in life that we simply cannot explain. But even in the midst of uncertainty, God still sits on the throne. In this Holy Convocation message, Pastor Danta Covington challenges us to examine what lies beneath our religious activity. God isn't simply looking at what we do—He is looking at our hearts. Success should never be mistak...

What are you building your life on? In this message, Pastor Dexter Long reminds us that hearing God's Word is only part of the equation—obedience is what creates a foundation that can withstand life's storms. The storm isn't what determines whether we stand or fall; our foundation does. Discover why storms reveal rather than create our foundation, the danger of building on feelings, co...

What does it mean to be surrounded by the favor of God? In this encouraging message, Bishop Mills reminds us that God's favor is more than a blessing—it's a shield. While life will bring trials, opposition, and moments when we feel uncertain, God's divine approval surrounds and protects those who trust Him. Through Psalm 5, we're challenged to come before God with sincerity, increa...

In this message, Elder Mills reminds us that discipleship requires more than belief—it requires action, sacrifice, obedience, and wholehearted commitment. Following Christ isn't always comfortable or easy, but there is nothing greater to pursue than Him. Be encouraged to examine your own walk, count the cost, remove distractions, and choose to follow Jesus with undivided focus. Key Takeaways:...

God doesn't define us by our current circumstances—He sees who He has called us to become. In this encouraging message from guest speaker La'Tonya Wiley, we're reminded that before God sends us into battle, He often prepares us through pruning, breaking, and removing the things that compete for our devotion. Using the story of Gideon, this message challenges us to trust God's proce...

Challenges are inevitable, but they don't have to shake your faith. In this message, Bishop Norris Mills reminds us that trusting God isn't seasonal—it's a lifelong commitment. When we keep our minds stayed on Him, He promises perfect peace, even in the middle of opposition. This message challenges believers to reject doubt, resist distractions, and refuse to let circumstances or the opinions of o...

Do you still have the mustard seed faith God has given you, or have you let life's challenges cause you to lose sight of it? In this message, Elder Dee Mills encourages us to examine our faith, trust God's power over our own abilities, and remember that faith begins with believing who God is and ends with believing He will do what He has promised. No matter how big the mountain may seem, d...

God's love is more than words—it's demonstrated through what He continually gives. In this message, Bishop N. Mills reminds us that everything we have, from the breath in our bodies to the peace in our hearts, is a gift from God. Above all, He gave His only Son so that we could have eternal life. As we reflect on His limitless love, we're challenged to stop comparing what God has given others, see...

In this Father's Day message, Bishop Norris Mills reminded us that a man's relationship with God helps shape him as a father. As he learns from God, he grows as a provider, protector, teacher, and guide. Good fathers are faithful people who trust God's promises, lead by example, and understand that those around them are always watching. Looking at the words spoken to Moses and Joshua,...

In this message, Elder Dee Mills reminds us that Jesus has always been concerned about the one who is lost. While others may overlook them, Jesus willingly leaves the ninety-nine to seek the one that has gone astray. We were all once lost and in need of God's grace. Yet Jesus found us, restored us, and welcomed us into His Kingdom. Because of that same grace, we have a responsibility to reach...

In this message, Bishop Mills reminds us that life's challenges can sometimes leave us feeling isolated, overwhelmed, or out of place. Yet, no matter what we face, God remains faithful and attentive to the prayers of those who love and serve Him. The enemy may not be pleased with what God is doing in your life, but your faith must remain stronger than your circumstances. Through every trial, b...

This week, Elder Bennett reminded us of the importance of remaining watchful and prepared for the return of Jesus Christ. Just as we prepare for major events in life—a new baby, a wedding, or a new home—we must also prepare for Christ's return. While no one knows the day or the hour, we know that He is coming, and He will arrive right on time. The message challenged us to examine our prioritie...

This week’s message, Elder Mills reminds us that what God has promised still requires faith, obedience, and movement on our part. The Israelites were close to the promise, but fear, doubt, and complaining prolonged what should have been a shorter journey. Joshua and Caleb saw the same land as everyone else, but they chose to believe God instead of focusing on the giants. God has already ordained c...

In this powerful message, Bishop Mills reminded us that determination is essential in our walk with God. Life will bring challenges, resistance, discouragement, and moments we would rather avoid—but we cannot allow those things to stop us from pursuing God’s purpose for our lives. Determination is the ability to stay focused on God, refuse distractions, and continue moving forward even when things...

In this heartfelt Mother’s Day message, Elder Mills reminded us that a mother’s love reflects the very heart of God. A true mother nurtures, protects, sacrifices, and desires the best for her child—even when it costs her something personally. Through the story of Solomon’s wisdom and the two mothers, we see the difference between selfishness and genuine love. The true mother was willing to give up...
