- Description:
- This video features a church service celebrating the 122nd anniversary of Greater Mount Calvary Baptist Church in Rome, Georgia. The service proceedings include the devotion, singing, a scripture reading, remarks by Reverend Terrell M. Shields, and a sermon delivered by Joseph E. Lowery. In his sermon, Lowery speaks from the ninth chapter in the Book of Revelations and takes from the text the subject of "crowns on their heads, but stings in their tails". Lowery discusses how this scripture teaches us to look at everything through the eyes of God and that our strength in life is in our relationship with God.
