I Have Successfully put my preachers to sleep 2:51 😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣 Classic!!! Bishop Owens I always loved the way he weaves his sermons into real life experiences etc. He was as the The Man with the golden voice And million dollar man, but he was most known for his silver- Tongued elephants he had The uncanny ability to move and captivate people's attention without actually doing anything and was able to have tremendous results... This can only happen if you have the genuine power of the Holy Ghost Miss you everyday Bishop!
every young man or woman thinking about preaching the Gospel Of the Lord Jesus Christ should be required to listen to these men of God as they preach under the annointing of the Holy Ghost, we that are in Jesus are neither black or white we are just blood washed
I am an apostolic minister, but let me tell you, I listen to alot of Holy Ghost filled ministers, apostolic, pentecostals, cogic and others, I listen to Bishop Patterson all the time and I been listening to Bishop Chandler on here
Bishop Patterson had only been a Bishop about two years before he was elected to the General Board with a great number of votes. Bishop Patterson had the chance to be 2nd and 1st assistant Presiding Bishop primarily based on the number of votes in two elections, but he always said he wanted to have the top position.
Amen Firecogicuk..... Bishop Owens Himself does not seem to be bitter about anything of the past. People need to just let stuff go... and be VERY careful about the judgement they place on others as it just may be there own. If Bishop does not seem to have an issue why are others still worried about it. sad sad sad.
There a great book called "THe dark Years of COGIC", tellin about the troubles from 1961-68. It has some stories that would literally blow your mind...literally fights fights were takin place during the Holy Convocation and the cops were called on a number of occasions.
Oh wow that was cold, I lived down there in Florida and one of my friends was telling me about that and how it caused a big split of that church. That was poor judgement and blind leadership.
Can someone inform me on the details of the power struggle that emerged between Bishop C.D. Owens and Bishop G.E. Patterson which resulted in Owens loosing a second quadrinial in the election of 2000?
As you can observe from reading the comments on this page, there are those who feel that Bishop Owens tenure as Presiding Bishop(1995-200) was "embattled" in a similar fashion likened to that of Bishop O.T. Jones Sr.(1962-1968). I would advise you consult COGIC historians for comparisions and contrasts.
Its no mystery as to why....the COGIC was a much better denomination under Bishop Owens....you didn't hear anything about scandals and foolishness during his administration..because he held leaders accountable
OK willball234, sounds like a power struggle to me. I don't understand how the 1996 vote would be so close, given the fact that Bishop Owens had been Bishop Ford's First Assistant and therefore rightful apostolic sucessor upon Ford's death in 1995. Why would G.E. Patterson mount such a challenge so early?
Willball234, are you refering to the 1907 split between C.P. Jones and C.H. Mason, or the 1961-68 battle for "apostolic sucession" involving Bishops O.T. Jones Sr., A.B. McEwen and J.O. Patterson Sr., or both situations?
What was the topic and scripture for this sermon and do you have the remainder of it? Also does anybody know what those letters on the cross stand for. I've been going to church all my life and don;t know what they stand for.
The letters on European paintings of the crucifixion are INRI, which is supposed to represent the Latin inscription IESVS NAZARENVS REX IVDÆORVM , which is "Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews" (John 19:19). In reality,, this was written out in Hebrew, Latin and Greek and was put on the cross.
kmcaj87, I own a copy of the book "Never Forget; Dark Years of COGIC". I know it well. The stories in various chapters of the book are hair-raising. The Chancery Court hearings, the second-guess chessboard moves between A.B. McEwen, J.S. Bailey, S.M. Crouch, J.O. Patterson Sr. and O.T. Jones Sr. are dizzying and stultifying. When the dust clears by November 1968, the loser seems to be A.B. McEwen in that O.T. Jones was elected Senior Bishop in 1962 to McEwen's chagrin and J.O. Patterson in 1968.
at this time he was Presiding Bishop and every member of the GENERAL BOARD wears redand every bishop in the COGIC wears red but their robes are not red.
i dont feel the great love and prasie for blake that the past COGIC presiding bishops had from its members.mayeb the COGIC members should start voting for the presiding bishops.
Pastors and Bishops having sex with, listen to this, boys and girls. Some victims told and different from the church today Bishop Owens is allowing distant restoration threw his preaching with God on whom did these things in which clergy new threw the victims .
