48th One Emmanuel Convocation - Opening Service
Jul 13, 2025 • Bishop Rickie Jackson
The sermon, titled "When God Sends a Word," explored the profound connection between God's word and the natural process of rain. Bishop Jackson beautifully illustrated how God's word, like rain, doesn't originate in the heavens but begins with our earthly experiences.
He emphasized that our trials and tribulations are the "heat" that initiates the process, leading to God's word being "precipitated" into our lives when we need it most. This metaphor reminds us that our struggles are not in vain but are part of God's process of speaking directly to our needs.
