In this powerful and transparent message, Bishop John H. Young, Sr. reminds us that God doesn't merely improve our lives—He transforms our hearts. This sermon is for anyone who has ever struggled with their past, battled old habits, or wondered if lasting change is really possible. People may remember who you used to be... The angry you. The addicted you. The bitter you. The fighting you. But God sees who you're becoming. If you've ever felt trapped by your mistakes, discouraged by your past, or frustrated with your progress, this message will encourage you to embrace God's transforming power and walk confidently into your new identity.

What if everything you've believed about absent fathers isn't the whole story? In this transparent and thought-provoking message, Bishop John Young tackles one of the most emotionally charged subjects facing families today. This isn't about blaming mothers or condemning fathers—it's about discovering God's perspective on broken relationships, misunderstood fathers, and the healing that only Christ can bring. Many children grew up asking, "Why wasn't my father there?" Yet the answer is often far more complicated than we realize. Some fathers walked away... others were pushed away. Some were absent by choice... others by circumstance. And sadly, some fathers lived in the house but were never truly present. This message explores: Why presence doesn't always equal fatherhood The difference between an absent father and an absent heart How childhood perception often changes with adult understanding The confusion surrounding separation, divorce, and parental alienation How God can bring healing to fathers, mothers, and children Why our Heavenly Father remains faithful when earthly fathers fail No matter your story, this sermon offers hope, healing, and a fresh perspective rooted in Scripture. Key Thought: "A man can be absent from the house and still love his children. A man can be present in the house and still fail to father them. God calls us to look beyond appearances and examine the fruit." Whether you're a father longing to reconnect, a child carrying unanswered questions, or someone searching for healing from family wounds, this message is for you.

Bishop John Young | Trinity Sunday Trinity Sunday is a celebration of the mystery of the Holy Trinity—One God revealed in three Persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Observed on the Sunday following Pentecost, it reminds believers that God is eternally one in essence, yet active as Creator, Redeemer, and Sustainer. In a world filled with division, confusion, and conflict, God's nature remains unchanged. Homes may be divided. Communities may be divided. Politics may be divided. Churches may be divided. Minds may be divided. But God remains ONE.
