F
rederick Douglass Haynes, III, is a prophetic pastor, passionate leader,
social activist, and eloquent orator and educator engaged in preaching the gospel
of Jesus Christ, fighting against racial injustice; committed to economic justice
and empowerment in under-served communities and touching and transforming
the lives of the disenfranchised. For 31 years, Dr. Haynes has served as a visionary and
innovative senior pastor of Friendship-West Baptist Church in Dallas, Texas. Under his
servant leadership, the ministry and membership have grown from less than 100 members
in 1983 to over 12,000.
Dr. Haynes was born in Dallas, TX and grew up in San Francisco, California. He is the grandson and son of
socially conscious and active pastors. He attended public schools in the Bay Area and was one of three
valedictory speakers when he graduated from Abraham Lincoln High School in San Francisco. Haynes
graduated, with honors, from Bishop College in 1982 with a B.A. degree in Religion and English. He earned a
Masters of Divinity degree from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary. In 2005, he earned a Doctorate
in Ministry from the Graduate Theological Foundation where he was afforded the opportunity to study at
Christ Church, Oxford University in Oxford England. His dissertation reflects his commitment to faith based
social activism: To Turn The World Upside Down: Church Growth In A Church Committed to Social Justice.
Dr. Haynes is committed to education and has led Friendship-West to donate over a million dollars to
Historically Black Colleges and Universities and over 2 million dollars in scholarship aid to students who are
members of the church and community.
The community outreach of Dr. Haynes has created opportunities for him to address large audiences via radio.
He hosted Freddy Haynes Unscripted; the tag line was "edutainment for community empowerment" on Radio
One's 94.5, KSOUL, a local radio show in Dallas. The show debuted at number one in its time slot in the
Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex. He gave the "Inspirational Vitamin" as the concluding voice on K104’s Skip
Murphy Morning Show for over 7 years and for 10 years has given the message on the Praise Break for the
nationally syndicated Rickey Smiley Morning Show, reaching over 70 cities. It should be noted that both of
these shows have a hip hop radio format, but because of the ability of Haynes to reach young people, he was
asked to give inspirational messages during these shows.
Dr. Haynes has received numerous awards and honors for his ministry and activism. Ebony Magazine named
him to its' Power 100 list of most influential African Americans in 2012. He has been inducted into the
National Black College Alumni Hall of Fame. Dr. Haynes was honored to give remarks at the Memorial
service of one of the most respected world leaders of the 20th and 21st centuries, President Nelson Mandela.
This privilege was even more special because it took place in the same sanctuary that the Rev. Dr.
Martin Luther King, Jr. gave his very last sermon, the Washington National Cathedral. The Congressional
Black Caucus honored Haynes by having him serve as the featured speaker at its' Annual Prayer Breakfast in
2011, a prestigious honor. These are just a few of the significant honors, which are in the hundreds, bestowed
upon Haynes for his servant leadership.
Dr. Haynes is the author of "Healing Our Broken Village," which seeks to address the issues that have
contributed to broken communities and lives. He also authored "Soul Fitness," an inspirational and
motivational daily devotional.
Dr. Haynes is married to Debra Peek-Haynes, founder and President of Quorum Commercial, a commercial
real estate firm. They are the proud parents of Abeni Jewel Haynes.

surprising emotions, such as shock, anger and guilt. A Bereavement Support Counseling Group is being held
each 2nd and 4th Monday of each month, in Room 307 at 6:00 PM. Through a setting that embraces
confidentiality, participants may: gain insight from others regarding coping strategies to begin to "live again";
share experiences and feelings that keep memories alive; restore relationships when forgiveness is needed;
gain wisdom regarding lifestyle changes; and strengthen our spiritual well-being. Please contact the Church
Office to register at 313-861-1285 x 429, and begin the journey to healing.

LOOKING AHEAD
SERMON NOTES
In times of suffering or stress, we may feel that GOD is against us or doesn’t care.
Yet GOD hears our cries and acts to restore wholeness, not only to individuals, but
to the whole community and beyond. When discipleship includes suffering and
rejection, GOD is faithful and does not hide. GOD keeps promises; we respond in
faith and thanksgiving.
Our focus scriptures for next week are Psalm 22:23-31; Genesis 17:1-7, 15-16,
Romans 4:13-25; and Mark 8:31-38.
Psalm 22 is the prayer of one who is afflicted. It begins with lament, “My GOD,
my GOD, why have you forsaken me?” GOD has cared for the people of Israel
over centuries. Why does it seem that GOD has abandoned the psalmist now?
This psalm is frequently read during worship on Good Friday, as Jesus spoke these
opening words for the cross (see Mark 15:34).
Lament psalms, though they express human pain and suffering, usually end by expressing thanks that GOD
delivers from trouble. The portion of Psalm 22 we read today is just such a hymn of praise. With exuberance
that may seem surprising—given the depth of despair described in the earlier verses—the psalmist proclaims
that GOD does not despise those who are afflicted. GOD is always close and is with those who are in distress.
This psalm reminds us that, though we are in an individual relationship with GOD, we are also part of a
community of faith. The psalmist comes to the faith community, praising GOD “in the great congregation.”
GOD’s people are not meant to undergo suffering alone, but to find strength through shared story and
experience of GOD’s saving presence.
Verse 23 is an example of the parallelism so characteristic of Hebrew poetry: “All you offspring of Jacob,
Rachel and Leah, glorify GOD; stand in awe of GOD, all you offspring of Israel!” (NRSV Inclusive Language
Version). The people to whom GOD gave the name “Israel” are called to praise GOD, who has acted through
their history and will continue to act to bring wholeness and salvation. More than that, “all the families of the
nations” will worship GOD. GOD’s rule extends to the entire world. Past, present and future—”those who
sleep in the earth” and “people yet unborn” —all generations praise GOD.
Genesis 17:1-7, 15-16 also speaks to trust in GOD’s promises. Abram and Sarai are childless; yet GOD
makes a covenant, promising Abram he will be the ancestor of many nations. Through Sarai’s son, GOD’s
everlasting promise will extend to a multitude. The new names, Abraham and Sarah, signify their new status
as GOD’s covenant people.
Romans 4:13-25 recalls GOD’s covenant with Abraham. Abraham responded to GOD’s promise in faith
and trust, “hoping against hope” that GOD’s promise was true. Like the psalmist, Abraham’s hope was in
GOD’s trustworthy goodness. Paul exhorts readers to have such faith in GOD’s saving love through Christ.
In Mark 8:31-38, Jesus and his disciples are near Caesarea Philippi. For the first time Jesus teaches that he
will suffer and die. Peter cannot believe this; This is not what was expected of GOD’s messiah. Jesus rebukes
Peter and challenges the entire crowd to consider what it means to follow Jesus and trust in GOD’s saving
love. Following this account is the story of the Transfiguration ((Mark 9:2-9). Peter, James and John
accompany Jesus up the mountain after Jesus’ teaching about his pending suffering and death. They are
terrified as GOD confirms Jesus’ identity as GOD’s Son, and tell them to listen to Jesus.
Love ya,
C.G.A.
