Ebenezer Baptist Church (Atlanta, Georgia)

January 1, 1886 to December 31, 1886

In the fall of 1947, Martin Luther King delivered his first sermon at the pulpit of Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta. Ebenezer’s congregation voted to license King as a minister soon afterward, and he was ordained in February 1948. King went on to serve as Ebenezer’s associate minister during his breaks from  Crozer Theological Seminary  and from his doctoral studies at  Boston University  through early 1954. He returned as co-pastor with his father, Martin Luther King, Sr. , serving from 1960 until his  assassination  in 1968.

The church was founded in 1886 by its first minister, John Andrew Parker. In 1894 Adam Daniel  Williams , King, Jr.’s maternal grandfather, became Ebenezer’s second pastor. Under Williams the church grew from 13 members to nearly 750 members by 1913. Williams moved the church twice before purchasing a lot on the corner of Auburn Avenue and Jackson Street and announced plans to raise $25,000 for a new building that would include an auditorium and gallery seating for 1,250 people. In March 1914 the Ebenezer congregation celebrated the groundbreaking for its new building. After the death of Williams in 1931, King, Sr., who had married Williams’ daughter Alberta in 1926, became pastor.

With King, Sr., as pastor and his wife, Alberta Williams King , serving as musical director, the King family spent much of their time at Ebenezer. King, Jr., later described how his earliest relationships were formed at church: “My best friends were in Sunday School, and it was the Sunday School that helped me to build the capacity for getting along with people” ( Papers  1:359 ). While in seminary, King often preached at Ebenezer. He delivered some of his most enduring sermons for the first time at Ebenezer, including “The Dimensions of a Complete Life,” “What Is Man?” and “Loving Your Enemies.”

After King accepted the pastorate at  Dexter Avenue Baptist Church  in Montgomery, members of Ebenezer’s congregation attended his October 1954 installation service, prompting King to express his gratitude: “Your prayers and words of encouragement have meant a great deal to me in my ministry; and you can never know what your presence in such large numbers meant to me at the beginning of my pastorate. I want you to know Ebenezer, that I feel greatly indebted to you; and that whatever success I might achieve in my life’s work you will have helped to make it possible” ( Papers  2:314 ).

In November 1959, King accepted Ebenezer’s call to join his father as co-pastor, a move that brought him closer to the headquarters of the  Southern Christian Leadership Conference . His first sermon as co-pastor at Ebenezer was “The Three Dimensions of a Complete Life.” After King’s assassination in 1968, his brother, A. D. Williams King , was installed as Ebenezer’s co-pastor. King, Sr., continued as pastor until 1975, and Coretta Scott King  continued to attend services at Ebenezer until her death.

The Hairy Bikers' Si King remembers Dave Myers in moving speech that brings crowd to a standstill

The hairy bikers star si king paid tribute to his late friend dave myers.

It was an emotional night at the annual Fortnum & Mason Food and Drink Awards. 

The ceremony, which was presented by Andi Oliver and Angela Hartnett, saw a variety of food and drink A-listers gather at The Royal Exchange in London to celebrate those who encourage foodies to enjoy and discover more about food and drink through their work. 

At the event, attended by  HELLO! , there was a special round of applause when The Hairy Bikers were awarded the gong for Personalities of the Year – for the fifth time. 

The bittersweet recognition comes shortly after Dave Myers died from cancer at the age of 66 in February. 

On hand to accept the award was Si King, who thanked the audience for their support – especially in the last few weeks. 

"Thank you so much - and thank you for all the support, it's been amazing," he said. "Dave loved it, of course - if there was a light, if there was a camera he would have loved it." 

The TV chef also added: "Dave was so proud of this award, particularly because it’s voted for by our loyal followers and fans, the people who matter most to us." 

The motorbike riding duo, who first hit our TV screens back in 2006, published more than 25 cookbooks together and presented shows including The Hairy Bikers Ride Again, The Hairy Bikers’ Food Tour Of Britain, The Hairy Bikers: Mums Know Best, The Hairy Bikers’ Cook Off  and Hairy Bikers' Best of British. 

Moments later the special recognition, fellow celebrity chef Rick Stein won the prestigious Fortnum & Mason Special Award for his illustrious 50-year career. 

After he was handed the prize by Tom Parker-Bowles, the restauranter also took a moment to remember Dave. "Great to see you Si, I was a bit tearful after that. We all loved Dave – he was great," he said on stage, before saying: "Thank you very much to Fortnum and Awards for this award… I am very very grateful, thank you very much." 

Other attendees included Saturday Kitchen host Matt Tebbutt, TV star Fay Ripley, Liam Charles, Ravneet Gill and Nisha Katona.

Prince Harry Accidentally Snubbed King Charles in His Soldier of the Year Speech

Prince Harry recently delivered his Soldier of the Year speech, but the Duke of Sussex's medal from King Charles ' coronation was noticeably missing .

"Harry's failure to wear his father's Coronation medal wasn't intended as a snub to the King," an insider told an outlet. "My source whispers that the medal was 'swing-mounted' on a short ribbon and needed to be sent to a specialist to affix to a longer ribbon and mount on a hard backing to stop it from swinging around ."

"Maybe the King should have FedExed his traveling yeoman to California to do the job," the source noted.

Harry honored Sergeant First Class Elizabeth Marks with the prestigious Military Times Soldier of the Year Award, and he will continue his veteran advocacy work in the U.K. by celebrating the 10th anniversary of the Invictus Games in the U.K.

OK! previously reported the Duke of Sussex will travel to England for his Wednesday, May 8, appearance, but neither Meghan Markle nor the royal family will be in attendance.

"There will be no senior members of the royal family to support Prince Harry," Kinsey Schofield told an outlet.

"Prince Harry is suffering the consequences of his actions ," Schofield explained. "Harry does not take responsibility for the tsunami of hurt he has caused his family. The king sees this very clearly. Harry is still under the impression that he has not done anything wrong by purging family secrets for paychecks. That delusion concerns everyone that used to be close to Harry."

Charles won't be in the crowd, but the Spare author is expected to see his dad while in his native nation .

"The king is happy to spend time with his youngest son but will remain guarded to protect the people that he loves and who have shown him unconditional loyalty," Schofield noted. "Harry will always have access to his father, but the trust is long gone."

"King Charles is not pushy and will not demand any type of reconciliation ," she stated.

After His Majesty was diagnosed with cancer, Harry alluded to wanting to spend time in the U.K. to visit him due to his condition.

"I jumped on a plane and went to go see him as soon as I could," Harry told Good Morning America in February following his day trip to London. "Look, I love my family. The fact that I was able to get on a plane and go and see him and spend any time with him, I’m grateful for that."

"I’ve got other trips planned that will take me through the U.K. , or back to the U.K., and so I’ll stop in and see my family as much as I can," he added.

Insiders spoke to Daily Mail .

Kwesta – King Speech Lyrics

Lyrics to king speech by kwesta.

Now let me tell you how I see myself / F8ck being a star if I can be myself The day I’m not DaKAR that’ll be my death / But my life got me trapped in this feline fest It’s funny how these bars helped me free myself / In a pool full of sharks i should be Mike Phelps To this I get haunted by some dreams I left / But the one I’m living now I’ve dreamt So I go harder than most / Tryina make a killing, a King off a kid, shit in the end its a mission to keep my daughter afloat / I swear to God the game needs some order. The other day I found myself bumping Rita Ora, bored of your flows / Its not at all for a show, no, its a call to the bold who are holding their own you know, soldiers who boarded the boat / I’m just really tryina keep real, wondered how this would feel / Pen and pad thinking which one of these beats to kill / Seven years, one award and a crew signed / They spitting true lies, I am where the truth lies / All in due, fine /It doesn’t wait for a man but I need that shit to chase me, that’s how I view time / Until I bill a milli in a night, from a city where the skinny niggas die / Made it out that motherfucker now these niggas gotta kill a nigga twice / I’m K1 til the death of me though / Fuck the charts, get their hearts cause the love is only real treasure we own Invoice, punchlines, can you better the quotes / Boy’s words got power, check the letter he wrote / KING SPEECH After conversations it was written down, big radio stations had to sit me down / Or Kick me out their offices like ey shhhh, keep it down / Made niggas go number 1, aint no one else should get the crown / Take it how you want it but a motherfucker held it down / Family got mad at me, telling me I let them down, and I should know better, they gon’ act like it aint happened now / You was heaven bound, how you let the devil in the house/ You know they’ll never let you God, well that’s reason why I pray so hard / I thought I warned them when I told them, I don’t play with bars / Now I’m a warden making sure they don’t escape these bars / Dark skin dude, light up a room, F*ck him and you loving him to / Maw’cheka I am a nice King, wont fight him cause my prince got something to prove / They say Im underrated / But I rate it’s the blatant hatred, that helped me make it and fuck, a hater cant debate it / I only love the greatest / Shit is basic, I design my own life check the pulse(palse) that’s some custom made shit I say Im great, they hate and I embrace it / But when I spray mase, bless the occasion / Rolling dice, tryina chase where the day went / Put your bitch on ice, uzong’thola daar skating Catch me on the streets like, mpintshi akuna niks / But everytime I hear a beat I think of Slikour and Smakx / Will I make them proud? Or will they hate it all / But they not around, I guess I’ll never know / Was that an act of a demon? Cause I was only tryina show best have they seen it / I hope I don’t rap just to please them / Is you waiting on me to speak of cassper and Kiernan? / I just did, now let’s move the fuck along / I’m from a city where beef don’t last this fucking long / True greatness, mang’khuluma kanti gazi wenzani / Now you tell me ukuthi mang’thula kuzoyenzakalani Awufuni ngingene i-venecular, awz’gade bhejane / I’m too ghetto ngathi ang’phumi ekasi eley’ one / 07’ Sharp fede dropped, killed and conquered / Oh damnit, nayi ingena ingoma, akunamgodla? / But I made loot because I was busy touring, Sprite Hip Hoop tour I know you motherf*ckers saw it / 08’ Akuna niks, got untwana chilling / But its okay Buttabing got a youngin living / 09’ VV2 and my own mixtape / It GO time, they see me too and everything’s great / The boy is heavenly sent / In 2010 I spoke to God and made a special request / And we made that shit work, bengingabezwa babuze / 2011, Take That and repertoire grew / Had my raps hanging, thats when all these cats came in / Wasn’t in my right mind, I guess I was left thinking / Qukuquku qu, qukuquku qu, Rally for DaKAR had these dudes running to the stu / I showed love and Tibz told me it was all me / You get a song, you get a song that shit was all free / Yeah look, I was back on track, I mean I was well trained, I was back on tracks / Lost 2 big brothers, like an urban legend, I gained 2 more brothers like fuck it, let’s get em / When I spoke fam time, it was them and me / Late nights with CashTime equalled THT / And my girl became a mom but I couldn’t see her / She was like my hood, I loved but I had to leave her / I gained another brother, he helped with a better view, Urbantainment dropped DaKAR like who was helping these dudes / Classic shit, award winning / I swear I hear your shit and I just yell… Boring Now you tell me what’s a king to do / You not just claiming payin’ dues but you claiming the kingdom too/ Bitch, I’m the shit when I aint trying to / I been a god, its time I made it undeniable No borrowed rhymes, no forcing time, real shit / No gold bottles, just role models……..
