Dr. Jamal Bryant – Joe Paterno’s Problem (Video)

November 13, 2011 in Dr. Jamal Bryant, Sermons by Growing in Jesus Christ


Sermon notes:
Matthew 5:13
Joe Paterno was terminated because he did not use his influence.
Influence is the power of subtle persuasion that is built on presence and reputation.
The tabernacle was divided into 3 levels:
the outer court – praise and worship
the inner court – incense and oil
the Holy of Holies – sacrifice of blood
Your worship should change atmospheres.
The oil influences God to do a thing.
If your anointed you have the power to influence God.
Exodus 30
use principle spices
People who do not have principles will not be anointed.
For worship you need to be sweet.
You need to have balance.
Salt influences the frankincense.
Your anointing is more overpowering than everything negative in your life.

sermon notes:
I Can Not Believe It
John 20:25
If it is too bad to believe then you are probably Black in America.
We are not paranoid, African Americans have broken trust.
If you are loving someone you can’t trust you are wasting your love.
Trust God

The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness
“For every century there is a crisis in our democracy, the response to which defines how future generations view those who were alive at the time. In the 18th century it was the transatlantic slave trade, in the 19th century it was slavery, in the 20th century it was Jim Crow. Today it is mass incarceration. Alexander’s book offers a timely and original framework for understanding mass incarceration, its roots to Jim Crow, our modern caste system, and what must be done to eliminate it. This book is a call to action.”
