What did Martin Luther King Jr, Marcus Garvey and Malcom X know about black history that drove them to change the world? Most of the journey of people of color will never appear in history books. American classrooms will never share the stories of amazing overcomers who didn’t fit the stereotype. African Americans are not failures. Where excellence did not exist we invented it. When there was no path to follow, we created it. The devil doesn’t want you to realize the God given potential locked inside of you. In the month of February, Pastor Hood will share incredible stories of heroic men and women who stood their ground. Join us for the sermon series – Black History Unlocked!

February 4 – “The Woman King”

Learn the true story of the woman king who rallied an army of Ashanti warriors for a fifth war against the British to drive them out of West Africa for good. The truth is much better than the movie.

Isaiah 59:19 "When the Enemy comes in like a flood, the Spirit of God will raise a standard against him!"

February 11 – “History in Reverse”

Proverbs 20:27 The human spirit is the lamp of the Lord, searching every inmost part. Much of what we’ve heard about the term “Negro” was intended to confuse us. Learn the shocking truth.

February 18 – “Built Tough”

Why would God allow a people to suffer so long? Important questions will be answered in this message.

Exodus 15:2-3 - The Lord is my strength and song, and he is become my salvation: he is my God, and I will prepare him an habitation; my father's God, and I will exalt him. The Lord is a man of war: the Lord is his name.

February 25 – “Black History Unlocked”

How did we get here? There are too many missing parts to the story. Someone needs to put the pieces together.

Matthew 2:13 And when they were departed, behold, the angel of the Lord appeareth to Joseph in a dream, saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word: for Herod will seek the young child to destroy him.
