Pastor John K. Jenkins Sr.

Why I SHABACH the Lord

Believers have every reason to “Shabach” the Lord—meaning to praise Him loudly, boldly, and intentionally. Praise is both a celebration and a declaration of God’s faithfulness. Pastor Jenkins shared personal testimony about overcoming depression through praise and trusting in God’s protection. He reminded the congregation that God has strengthened our gates, blessed our children, given us peace, and provided for us generously. Even when circumstances are not ideal, God remains worthy of praise.
