Description:: This audio recording features a worship service on October 13, 1979 at Central United Methodist Church in Atlanta, Georgia. This audio recording features choral ensemble performances, scripture readings, and a sermon by Joseph E. Lowery (at 00:13:35). In his sermon, Lowery speaks about a "blessed disturbance", in which God interferes with the inescapable evil, frustration, and hurt that people experience to purify unclean spirits despite people not wanting or willing to accept help from God during inconvenient times. Lowery emphasizes how people want help from God but are not yet ready to sacrifice, take risks, or release bad habits for God's blessings due to self-pity, complacency, vulnerability, and fear of the unknown. Lowery encourages the congregation to accept "blessed disturbances" and God's love to rid demons and be ready for a clean spirit. This audio recording concludes with Lowery's remarks about Atlanta's Missing and Murdered Children crisis and the singing of "One More Time".
