BISHOP B. COURTNEY MCBATH

2 Timothy 5:17 The Elders who direct the affairs of the church well are worthy of double honor, especially those whose work is preaching and teaching.

Today is a really cool day! My brother Ricky and I are in Alcoa, Tennessee celebrating McBath day. Our friend and Bishop is being celebrated today in his hometown. They are giving him the key to the city! Last night Ricky and I ate dinner with Bishop McBath and his family, it was a blast. This morning there was a reception at his old high school. He was presented with a jersey from the basketball team and many of his former teachers and schoolmates were there. Then he was able to speak to the students and it was powerful! He took complete control of the moment and shared with them the power of Jesus Chist to change your life. I was overwhelmed by his ability to keep the students engaged. I got about 30 seconds of it on my phone…check it out! (Turn the volume way up) Tonight there is a service at 7pm where they will actually give him the key to the city! Man this is gonna be cool!
