Managing Me 2026
We were reminded from 1 Corinthians 6:19–20 that our bodies are the temple of the Holy Spirit and that we are not our own because we were bought with a price. Since God owns everything—including us—our daily lives must be shaped by the reality that God is the Owner, we are managers, and the Holy Spirit functions as God’s quality control within us.
The message challenged us to stop treating Scripture as if it only applies to one area (like sexual sin) and instead to let God’s ownership govern every part of our living—our rest, habits, choices, and integrity. Managing ourselves well means embracing Holy Spirit’s regulation rather than fighting it, and taking responsibility to glorify God not only in worship moments but in our bodies and decisions all week long.

We continued part two of the series “Managing Me,” learning that biblical stewardship begins before money, time, talents, or the body—it begins with managing ourselves. Since God is the owner of everything, including us, our first act of stewardship is to recognize our role as management, not ownership, and to let God shape our “operating system,” our minds—our thoughts, intentions, feelings, beliefs, and settled disposition that guides outward behavior. Philippians 2:1–8 (with emphasis on Phi…
Is Anything Too Hard for the Lord?
Bishop Terry L. Hill, Jr. · Sep 13, 2026
The service builds in extended worship focused on God’s worthiness and on praise as a spiritual weapon, with testimonies of God’s mercy in preserving lives through accidents and illness and a call to trust God even when facing pressure. Psalm 18:1 is read to frame God as strength, fortress, savior, and shield, and the congregation repeatedly affirms praise, worship, and dependence on the Lord through songs such as “You are Alpha and Omega,” “Praise is What I Do,” and “No one can worship You for…
