Sunday Morning Worship Service | Mount Zion Baptist Church Dealing With a Bully, With a Bad Attitude

Have you ever faced a giant-sized problem, an intimidating person, or a difficult situation that tested your faith? Join us as Rev. Carl Pollard delivers a powerful and encouraging message titled “Dealing with a Bully, With a Bad Attitude.”

Drawing from 1 Samuel 17:34-37 and Ephesians 6:13-17, this inspiring sermon reminds us that God's people are not called to face life's battles alone. Just as David trusted God when confronted by Goliath, believers today are equipped with the whole armor of God to stand firm against opposition, negativity, and spiritual challenges.

Whether you missed Sunday's service or would like to revisit this timely message, we invite you to watch the full Sunday Morning Worship Service or the condensed sermon video online. Be encouraged, strengthened, and reminded that through faith in God, every giant can be faced, and every challenge can be overcome.

Watch, share, and be blessed!

Press On! Press Forward! Press Toward Christ Jesus

Press On, Press Forward, Press Toward Christ Jesus in His Perfection was the inspiring sermon delivered by Rev. Angelo Giles from Philippians 3:1, 7-14. Drawing from the Apostle Paul's testimony, Rev. Giles reminded us that no earthly achievement or past experience compares to the surpassing value of knowing Jesus Christ. Believers are called to let go of past failures and successes, keep their focus on Christ, and continually press forward toward spiritual growth, maturity, and the high calling God has placed on their lives.

We invite all Mount Zion Church members, friends, and website visitors to experience this powerful message and be encouraged in your walk with Christ. As Paul declared, "forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus" (Philippians 3:13-14). Please watch the sermon video and, if you are able, enjoy the full worship service below. We pray this message strengthens your faith and inspires you to keep pressing on, pressing forward, and pressing toward Christ Jesus.
