2 Samuel 7:18-22 (NRSV), Sunday, November 23, 2025. David’s Prayer of Thanksgiving is a classic Old Testament passage in that it is daunting in scope yet intensely relatable. Despite benefiting firsthand from God’s love, David has difficulty concealing his amazement at his Lord’s awesome power. Through Jesus Christ, God’s limitless love is extended to each and every one of us and therein lies the beauty of David’s Thanksgiving Prayer. No mater our mistakes, no matter how great or terrible our lives have been, God loves us. God protects us -as He always has and always will.

John 4:46-54 (NRSV). Sunday, November 9, 2025. In today’s message, we have here a nobleman who is dealing with a problem that he can’t solve. Trouble and hard times can hit regardless of your status and your checkbook. His problems caused him to look to Jesus. The same holds true today. Unless you start looking to Jesus, you will never get the true answer to your problem. Jesus is still the answer today!

“David and Goliath: Lessons from Battling Giants.” November 2, 2025 – 1 Samuel 17:26; 41-47 (NRSV). We are all recovering from something – life changing experiences, failures, or past disappointments. Most of the experiences we are recovering from we didn’t choose. None of us chose to go through these trails in our lives but we all had to deal with them. We are all in a fight or should be in a fight – a fight for a better life, a fight for a better world. David stepped into a fight that was not his as well. Are you willing to step into fight for a better America that God desires?

Trust and Obey,” October 12, 2025 – Acts 5:27-32 (NIV). How many truly joyful, vibrant, and victorious Christians do you know? There are not a lot of people who are filled with joy. What is the reason for this lack of joy? The reason for this lack of joy is because they are unbelieving and disobedient Christians. Today’s message will discuss obedience, the missing ingredient in many Christians’ lives. If you are blessed from hearing this message, please visit our website: www.indycovenant.org to donate.

James 4:1-3 NIV. If there was ever a time we needed prayer, our nation and our world needed prayer, it is NOW! In this message, Pastor Wallace troubleshoots our prayer life. Prayer is a wartime walkie-talkie, and we must use it as such if it is not to malfunction.

It’s been my pleasure these past few weeks to bring you the Word of God as expressed through the Book of James. Today’s message is Part V: “Faith and Deeds: Working Together Works.” James is simply reminding us that you really do not believe something until it shapes and forms what you do and how you live. Our passage begins by asking two pointed- questions: “What good is it, my brothers, if a man claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such a faith save him? He then answers his own question by asking us to consider a certain scenario. Then finally, he draws a conclusion: faith and deeds – working together works. Active faith releases God’s power. Even so, faith, if it hath not deeds, is dead, being alone. Amen

As your pastor, I want you to be the kind of person who reads the Word of God, understands it, applies it, and reap the rewards of doing it. I want you to be blessed in your life. I want you to experience God’s blessings that come from obedience in your home, in your marriage, in your finances, at work, at school and where life takes you. What God wants is that when He looks at us, we look like the WORD! James talks about this connection between God’s Word and our obedience to it that results in blessings. The question of today’s text is: what are you going to do with what you hear. Thus, our text gives us three things to consider. Four things that if you take these seriously will be transformational to your life. First, God Wants You to Investigate His Word. Second, God Wants You to Apply His Word. Third, God Wants You to Remember His Word. Fourth, God Wants You to be Rewarded by His Word. Are you a hearer only or a doer of God’s Word? If you do what it says and do not forget what you heard, then God will bless you for doing it. AMEN
