187th Church Anniversary - Rev. Dr. Reginald W. Williams, Jr.

This week we celebrate the 187th anniversary of Metropolitan AME with guest preacher Rev. Dr. Reginald W. Williams, Jr. Throughout this powerful sermon, Rev. Dr. Williams emphasizes the importance of recognizing our sources of strength, particularly through the legacy of our ancestors. He reflects on the significance of carrying the 'bones' of our history and heritage, which serve as reminders of resilience and empowerment. The message is a call to acknowledge that we are not the first to face challenges, we are not forgotten, and we are certainly not finished in our journey of faith and service.

This week's text - Exodus 13:17-22
17 When Pharaoh let the people go, God did not lead them by way of the land of the Philistines, although that was nearer, for God thought, “If the people face war, they may change their minds and return to Egypt.” 18 So God led the people by the roundabout way of the wilderness bordering the Red Sea. The Israelites went up out of the land of Egypt prepared for battle. 19 And Moses took with him the bones of Joseph, who had required a solemn oath of the Israelites, saying, “God will surely come to you, and then you must carry my bones with you from here.” 20 They set out from Succoth and camped at Etham, on the edge of the wilderness. 21 The Lord went in front of them in a pillar of cloud by day, to lead them along the way, and in a pillar of fire by night, to give them light, so that they might travel by day and by night. 22 Neither the pillar of cloud by day nor the pillar of fire by night left its place in front of the people.
