Scripture of the Month
Psalm 3
(David's prayer as he fought to save his kingdom)
1Lord, how are they increased that trouble me! many are they that rise up against me.
2Many there be which say of my soul, There is no help for him in God. Selah.
3But you, O LORD, are a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of mine head.
4I cried unto the LORD with my voice, and he heard me out of his holy hill. Selah.
5I laid me down and slept; I awaked; for the LORD sustained me.
6I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people, that have set themselves against me round about.
7Arise, O LORD; save me, O my God: for you have smitten all mine enemies upon the cheek bone; you have broken the teeth of the ungodly.
8Salvation belongs unto the LORD: thy blessing is upon thy people. Selah.
At this moment in time, King David of Israel has many enemies including his own son. But in his dark hour he knew that God would sustain him. He credits God for his very awakening. He further states that he fears no man--not even thousands--because salvation belongs to the LORD.
When you find yourself in a dark hour and everyone is against you, know that today, God is still God, He has not changed, and He is fighting for you. Just humble yourself and pray and seek His face for the battle is not yours but the LORD's.

Our church was found in 1841 as the first organized Colored church congregation. The church is located on its original site, at the corner of Washington and Orleans Street, in the Memphis Landmark's Commission Historic District. The congregation began worshiping on this site in 1841, under an arbor. Before then the slaves and servants had worshiped in the loft of First Methodist Church (formerly Wesley Chapel). In 1859, the Conference of the C.M.E. Church South, charged Rev. J.T.C. Collins (white), with the responsibility of leading the members in purchasing the site and building a church. The conference named the church Collins Chapel in honor of the leadership Rev. Collins had provided. We have a long and illustrious history with prominent members (past and present) who have made over the years many contributions in the fields of religion, medicine, business, and education.
