“The bad ain’t that bad. The good ain’t that good.” — Pastor Henderson If you’re building something…If you’ve been betrayed…If you’re trying to become something bigger than your pain… This conversation will stay with you. Raised in poverty in Gary, Indiana, he grew up admiring his pastor - only to discover at 12 years old that the man he idolized was his biological father. A father who never attended his basketball games. A father he resented. A father he would one day follow into ministry. From playing Division I basketball to tearing his ACL the very day he chose sports over calling,Pastor Henderson’a journey is marked by pivotal moments that reshaped his identity. After relocating to Houston to become the successor of a prominent church, he was publicly dismissed without warning. What followed was not collapse, but conviction. With $200 in his pocket and a handful of supporters, he started again. Within one year, that new beginning grew from five people to thousands He speaks candidly. What makes this story powerful is not the success. It’s the surrender. This is not just a conversation about faith.It’s a conversation about forgiveness, identity, and love. No shouting. No performance.Just truth.

On Super Bowl Sunday, we used the language of football to reveal a spiritual reality: everybody wears a jersey—and the enemy is always trying to get you to swap yours. In this message, we walk through Matthew 3–4 and see Jesus: • trained in “hidden seasons” before public purpose • submitted in humility at baptism • received identity from the Father: “This is My beloved Son…” • resisted the devil’s temptations to trade purpose for shortcuts If you’ve been battling insecurity, image-pressure, or identity confusion—this word is for you. Don’t chase image. Stand in identity. Don’t swap jerseys. Scripture: Matthew 3–4 👍 Like • 💬 Comment • 🔔 Subscribe to join us every Sunday morning Follow Pastor E.

What do you do when you still believe—but belief feels tired? In this message, “When Faith Gets Tired” we walk through Mark 9 and confront one of the most honest prayers in Scripture: “Lord, I believe; help my unbelief.” This sermon is for people who didn’t quit—but slowed down. For those who kept praying, kept showing up, kept believing—while quietly wrestling with doubt, disappointment, and unanswered questions. If you’ve ever believed God and still struggled… If you’ve ever stayed faithful while feeling exhausted… If your faith didn’t die—but it did get tired— this word is for you. God doesn’t require perfect faith—He honors honest faith. Scripture: Mark 9:14–29 👍 Like 💬 Comment 🔔 Subscribe to join us every Sunday morning

Failing doesn’t mean God has left you. In this message, “Lord Over My Failures,” you’ll discover that Jesus steps into your emptiness, challenges what you’ve relied on, and gives new direction even after disappointment. If you’ve done your best, tried everything you know, and still came up empty—this sermon will remind you that failure isn’t the end. It’s positioning you for revelation, obedience, and a fresh word from God. Scripture: Luke 5:1–11 Follow Pastor E.
