[3] Let the people praise thee, O God; let all the people praise thee. [4] O let the nations be glad and sing for joy: for thou shalt judge the people righteously, and govern the nations upon earth. Selah. [5] Let the people praise thee, O God; let all the people praise thee. [6] Then shall the earth yield her increase; and God, even our own God, shall bless us. [7] God shall bless us; and all the ends of the earth shall fear him.

Bishop Hill urges the congregation to recognize God’s goodness even when it takes the form of maintenanc

Care For The Caregiver

Elder Bryant A. Hill, Sr. · Oct 18, 2026

From Luke 23:26, we saw how Jesus—our ultimate caregiver—was cared for in a moment of intense human need when Simon of Cyrene was seized and made to carry the cross behind Him.
