2016 Victory Tribute to African American History

Summary

This sermon highlights Black History Month by focusing on the spirituals sung by enslaved Africans, seen as prayers and coded messages for escape. These spirituals, like "Free at Last" and "Balm in Gilead," demonstrated faith in God's deliverance, which in turn mobilized abolitionists and led to the Emancipation Proclamation. The takeaway is that by humbling ourselves, praying, and believing, we can still influence the course of the nation for revival.
