The Park Church - Sunday Worship Replay
Sunday Morning Worship Replay
Speaker: Bishop Claude R Alexander, Jr
Title: We Won't Conform/ We Defy Gravity
Exodus 1:8-21 NLT
Sermon Notes:
Determined resiliency comes when you absorb loss without accepting loss.
‘How miserable I am! I feel like the fruit picker after the harvest who can find nothing to eat. Not a cluster of grapes or a single early fig can be found to satisfy my hunger. '

“The last time around, it wasn’t our time. It wasn’t my time. Sometimes you have to accept that you have to wait your turn. Dealing with everything that came with the last Super Bowl, you still kind of leave empty because as great of a performance it was, it wasn’t enough to win. I think going through those emotions and processing those things and processing that experience lit a great flame in me and enhanced my desire to win significantly.”
Determined resiliency comes from embracing the ups and downs as the rhythmic dynamic of life
Determined resiliency comes from seeing ‘next’ as an invitation to get up.

‘Never get too high, never get too low. Take it day by day and just continue to learn.’
Hurts
It’s been a fun ride. I’ve embraced every step. I took great pride in never backing down from a challenge. Always turning my negatives into positives. Turning my weaknesses and making them my strengths. It’s taken a great effort to evolve my game over time and just continue to grow and improve.”
And I know this year, this team has had to battle through so much, this team has had to fight, this team has had to persevere and there’s been a ton of scrutiny, ton of opinions, a ton of all of that. But I know about this city, one thing we do is we fight. We fight. And you go through the course of these things and you learn that success isn’t build off of approval. It’s built off of endurance, it’s built off of strength. You can’t quit. You can’t lose if you don’t quit.
We won’t stay down because the One who is with us won’t let us stay down.
Hurts
‘I’ve been blessed to grow, learn things and just mature. And I know God has been there the whole entire way’
