In his sermon, "We Survived It," based on Acts 28:3-5, Bishop Wynn encourages the congregation of Historical First Baptist Church to recognize that the recent trials and difficulties they have faced were not a punishment, but rather the means for their survival. He uses the Apostle Paul's experience of being bitten by a poisonous snake after a shipwreck to deliver three key points: keep working (gathering "sticks" for the fire, which symbolizes evangelism and ministry), understand that snakes will show up (trials and poisonous attacks from the enemy will occur when you are working for God), and, most importantly, you must shake it off in the fire by praising your way out of the situation and giving God glory, thereby rendering the venomous bite harmless because, through God's grace, they have endured and survived.
Bishop Daryl Wynn's sermon, "Go Get June Bug," based on Mark 5:1-5 (the Gerasene demoniac), issues a strong mandate for evangelism, urging the congregation to reach the "June Bug"—a nickname he uses for the unsaved, addicted, or struggling people in their lives, whether family or neighbors. He illustrates that like the demoniac who lived among the tombs, crying, and cutting himself in a self-destructive effort to save himself, many today are bound by unclean spiritsthat manifest as addiction, rebellion, and mental distress. The Bishop emphasizes that the church's salvation is not just for personal comfort, but to equip them to endure life's "storms" to reach others. He challenges the listeners to stop judging June Bug and to actively fulfill their assignment by putting their boots on the ground to witness, pray, and live a life consistent with the Gospel, knowing that when Jesus shows up, deliverance and the cure are immediate.
