Pastor John K. Jenkins Sr.

A Moment of Crisis

In this narrative message continuing the BLESS series, Pastor Jenkins walks through Acts 16, showing how Paul and Silas remained faithful even in prison—worshiping at midnight until God sent a "suddenly" moment. The jailer, facing his own moment of crisis, asked the most important question: "What must I do to be saved?" Pastor challenged us to be available and prepared when those on our FRANCES list reach their breaking point and need someone who knows the Lord.
