Fired Up, Ready To Go!
Pastor Ulysses Stephen King, Jr., Lady Tiffany E. Grant King, and the Memorial Tabernacle Family welcome you to our worship services. We invite you to become a part of a growing ministry that is "reaching to teach, teaching to change" one person and one block at a time. We pray you will enjoy the service and worship again with us.
Our Mission...
The Memorial Tabernacle Church has come together by the Holy Spirit for the specific purpose of preaching and teaching the word of God, (the Bible), and about Jesus Christ, God's son, and to proclaim the gospel of the Kingdom of God to the North Oakland Community and its environs; to bring healing to the brokenhearted and deliverance to the oppressed.

Notes On Sunday's Sermon
"YOU CAN'T STOP MY PRAISE!" (
Luke 19:28-40)
When things are happening and crowds begin to gather, people will often run to see what's going on. We are all naturally curious. While the crowds and the disciples shouted the praises of their Messiah, the religious leaders were greatly troubled and offended.
Who does this Jesus think that he is to enter Jerusalem as a King? Their authority was threatened and so they demanded the crowds to stop shouting. That's when Jesus said that if the people didn't praise him that the very rocks would cry out!
This was his moment of recognition for who He was. Jesus is the Son of God! He was the Messiah of Israel. He was their King. But, they would never understand the fullness of just who He was because He was not coming to establish His kingdom upon the earth.
Yes, they cried, "Hosanna - Praise Jesus, the Son of David! Praise Jesus, the Messiah! Praise Jesus, our deliverer!" But they really didn't fully know who Jesus was. They were no different than many are today.
Because of Chri
st,
Pastor Ulysses Stephen King, Jr.

Stand Firm...

8. Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. 9. Resist him, steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same sufferings are experienced by your brotherhood in the world.

The Resurrection of Our Lord & Savior, Jesus Christ
Season of Lent
March 1st - April 13th
Lent is a 40-day fast and will run up until the Saturday before Easter or Resurrection Sunday (not including Sundays within this period). The Lent period reflects when Jesus fasted and suffered in the desert for 40 days and 40 nights, before he started his ministry.
According to the Bible, he was tempted by Satan during this time, but each time he managed to refuse his temptations. People follow Jesus' example and give up vices in a bid to grow closer to God as Easter or Resurrection Sunday approaches.
Christian Education: Bible Study
Tuesdays, 7:00PM
During this season of Lent, we invite all to be a part of our Tuesday evening Bible Study Class as we always do.
"Then Jesus said to His disciples, 'If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me.'" (Matthew 16:24)
Join us each week as we revisit the last steps of Jesus before he went to the cross. Let us walk with Jesus towards the cross. Doors open at 6:40PM, and class begins at 7:00PM. Class is held in the main sanctuary.
All are welcome to learn, grow, explore, and engage!
