Beyond the controversies surrounding the hearing, however, Tims’ New Destiny Christian Center (NDCC) has forged ahead with its ministry and is now preparing to name a successor to its charismatic founding pastor.
Ironically, the words of Tims continue to inspire the resolve of church members as they advance beyond a tragic year. As was recently reported, during an appearance on the Trinity Broadcasting Network, or TBN, on April 4, 2010, Tims almost seemed to speak to church members concerning their current challenges.
In an exhortation to maintain courage even through crises, the pastor said, "Don't curse your crisis, it's working through you - it's not working against you."
Tims continued his theme of not giving in to adversity by saying, "That giant is going to help you get to a better place - that obstacle is going to help you get to a better place."
You can now find sermons of the late pastor on NDCC website, by clicking its media tab.
