Guest Preacher: Bishop Henry Hearns
Born in Mississippi on April 23, 1933, with his humble beginnings as a sharecropper, Hearns can only be described as a visionary who conquers the insurmountable. Bishop Hearns, despite racism and deliberately placed obstacles in his path, served in the U.S. Army in Korea and earned a Bachelor of Science Degree in Environmental Engineering from the University of Southern California.
Hearns began working as a design engineer in 1960 and in 1989 retired the Chief of the Environmental Branch at Edwards Air Force Base. In 1965, the thirty-one year old was selected as Senior Pastor of Living Stone Cathedral of Worship Church in Sun Village, CA formerly known as First Missionary Baptist Church.
Bishop Hearns is Pastor Emeritus of Living Stone Cathedral of Worship in service to the surrounding community through ministries such as the Food Bank, Church in the Park, youth concerts, marriage retreats, LPAC Christmas productions, and the Neighborhood Impact House. Bishop Hearns is founder and current president of the Kingdom Building Fellowship, a strong network of senior pastors within the Antelope Valley who are committed to Christ and devoted to the uplift of church and community.
Hearns has actively served the Antelope Valley since 1965. The first African American ever elected to government leadership in Lancaster, Bishop Hearns is currently Mayor Emeritus after over 18 years of service as city councilmember, vice mayor, and mayor. Bishop Hearns serves on numerous boards and committees, including but not limited to: United Way, Housing Urban Development, American Cancer Society, Advisory Board for the Boys & Girls Club, and Program Sponsor for the Antelope Valley Black Infant Health Program.
Bishop Henry Hearns is a servant of our Lord & Savior Jesus Christ, who gives him the vision and power to conquer the insurmountable. He is a ready man who eagerly awaits whatever the Lord has planned.
Ephesians 6:4 (New International Version)
And, fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.
Summary:
For the month of June, we will journey through different Psalms to discover assurance. we can only find in God.
In this scripture, the Psalmist assures us that those who trust in earthly might shall fall, but those who trust in the Lord will stand strong. We might be able to see earthly power, but its foundation is weak and short term. When we trust in God, the power we cannot see, we discover the blessed assurance of divine strength and life eternal.
