Words from Our Pastor - Week of October 18, 2026

---

I believe we all desire good health and wholeness. Although they are connected, they are not the same. Health speaks to the condition of our bodies, minds, and emotions, while wholeness is the work God does within us that situates us to walk in purpose. We can appear healthy on the outside while still carrying pain, disappointment, unforgiveness, and unresolved wounds that render us ineffective.

Reaching wholeness requires intentionality. We must surrender to God, confront what is broken, release what is holding us back, and take the necessary steps toward healing. We cannot continue repeating unhealthy patterns while expecting to elevate. And we cannot afford to be passive about the process and expect to walk fully in the promise.

Wholeness can usher us into places that health alone cannot. God is concerned about our character, spiritual maturity, and ability to steward what He entrusts to us. Wholeness also helps our feet remain firm in times of adversity. It does not mean we will never face storms, but wholeness helps to sustain us when life becomes difficult. 

Power House, Let's Elevate Our Health And Wholeness!

Yours in Christ, 

Dr. Odell Riley, DMin

Senior Pastor
