This is a beautiful documentary I really enjoyed it I'll never forget meeting him years ago I was so impressed because his church was so big he had a telephone up in the PULPIT JUST IN CASE HE HAD TO ANSWER THE PHONE. HE COULD STAY IN TOUCH WITH THOSE ON THE FLOOR USHERING. NEVER BE ANOTHER BISHOP DAVID LEE ELLIS THANK YOU JESUS FOR TESTIMONY WITHOUT SCANDALS.🙏🏾🛐✅ HOLINESS NOT HOLY MESS. PRAISE THE LORD.
His Grace, His Eminence, The Late GREAT, LEGENDARY Bishop David Ellis is a ICON To Many of us, who identify as Apostolic Pentecostal Preachers. I HONOR THE MEMORY OF Bishop David Ellis !!!!!!!!
There is NO WAY I can hear the Bishop sing "Down Through The Years" and not smile because when I think of God's goodness to Him and to me, "Joy Bells" KEEP ringing in My soul! I look forward to that "Great Gettin' Up Morning" when ALL GOD'S Children will be together for ever! Thank God for Bishop Ellis!
He would stop by my father's Church Unity Temple early every Mother's Day to see my late grandmother...Sister Fanny Williams...He knew my mother and her sisters as children...and my aunt Alma Ransom played piano for his Church back in the "1960's"...who passed at the age of 33 years old...He kept an eye out for me as my pastor...after leaving my father's Church...back in 1982 till 1995...When I left his Church...He gave me his blessing...and said the doors are always open to return if I wanted to...Once when I visited...I thought I was not visible sitting in the balcony...He called me out!..."I see you in the balcony Ron Staten"...He teased me about joining Bethesda Christian Church (A predominantly white Church)...then where Pastor Marvin Winans Church now resides...He would talk to me using a white man's accent..."He would say..."Praise the Lord Brother!"... LOL...I loved Bishop Ellis...as many others did...and still do!...The Church Lived up to their name..."Greater Grace"...If people rejected you from another Church...If you were in trouble...This would be the Church known for...The God & Church of a second, third, or forth and beyond Chance...He would say for us who came to join the Church from another Church...I welcome brother or sister so & so..."from the same like Faith Church...He said jokingly at the new members introduction time of fellowship into the Church welcome...someone asked..."Why is everybody leaving Same Like Faith Church?"...LOL
I never knew Bishop was in the world. I was looking for the song prayer will fix it and stumbled across Bishop Ellis fell in love with his preaching, teachings, and singing. I know he went to take his rest but I will never forget this Bishop. Pray for his family.
I am from North Carolina and I first heard about the Bishop on UA-cam. His singing and sermons have encouraged me so much. I'm thankful that he can still be an inspiration to so many after all these years since he's passed! Praise The Most High!!
Amen! I first had got to see the Bishop around 27 yrs ago. I did not know much about him being new to the church at the time. When you first seen him you don't think much on his stature. Not a very big man. Quiet. But once he hit that pulpit.. He was like a giant when he preached and sung! I was shocked when i heard of his passing a few short years after seeing him preach at our church in ohio in 1995. He has brother I remember too who is a Bishop still in the P.A.W in CHI.
Glory be to our Lord and savior Jesus Christ they don't make them like this anymore a true pioneer of the faith. I loved listening to Bishop William L. Bonner preach and then Bishop Ellis back in the day. Bishop Ellis true man of God
Excellent documentary, the history of the Pentecostal notably African-Americans must be preserved. Thank you for sharing a copy should be donated to the Flower Pentecostal Heritage Center, Springfield MO and the Pan-African Pentecostal Archives of the William Seymour College in Maryland. Great work, thanks again for sharing.
I really enjoyed this documentary...I'm encourage to do the will of Christ Jesus...I have great respect and admiration for Bishop David Ellis...Truly he was an anointed man of Christ who preached and taught Jesus and showed love by action to the people. ....true pastor.
thanks for posting this, I'm from Detroit and now stay in a small town name Ironton in Ohio. I remember Bishop Ellis growing up as a powerful man on Detroit. everybody wanted to be around him. god is good.
I love watching this. Especially when the parishioners are asked about why they love being members there. Clearly they loved their leader and he was a servant of the entire community.
Praise the Lord, what a blessed documentary. In all thy ways acknowledge HIM. Jesus blessed the Late Bishop David Lee Ellis and the congregation that the Lord Jesus gave him in Jesus name., One Lord, One Faith ,One Baptism.Thanks Marcel.
Hi Marcel: I'm a Detroiter, having moved from the D in 1978. Currently living in southern California, just wanted to thank you for your constant links to the Detroit I knew & grew up in. Much Love, God Bless & keep them coming brother
I am just now realizing that after watching 37:35 of this video that the church building is now Greater Emanuel Institutional Cogic. My church youth department went to the BRL Conference some yrs ago, and I'm am just now recognizing that I was sitting in the old Greater Grace church ,WOOOOW.
Does anyone know the name of that awesome song that the choir is singing at about 46:59. think the lyrics say,"in the time of trouble God will uphold you God will preserve, you, God will come save you. In the time of trouble God will lift you up, Lord we ______". I love this song. If anyone knows the name and artist of this song please let me know. Thank you and God Bless🙏
“Rejoice For the Steps” by Virgil Meares”. After God will Preserve you it’s “God will sustain him In the time of trouble God will lift you up So rejoice your steps Are ordered of God”

Oh, to be “Kept for Jesus!” Kept, by the power of God; Kept from the world unspotted, Treading where Jesus trod. Refrain Oh, to be “Kept for Jesus!” Lord, at Thy feet I fall; I would be “nothing, nothing, nothing”; Thou shall be “all in all.” Oh, to be “Kept for Jesus!” Serving as He shall choose; “Kept” for the Master?s pleasure; “Kept” for the Master?s use. Refrain Oh, to be “Kept for Jesus!” Kept from the world apart; Lowly in mind and spirit, Gentle and pure in heart. Refrain Oh, to be “Kept for Jesus!” Oh, to be all His own; Kept, to be His forever, Kept, to be His alone! Refrain
I miss him SO MUCH!!

I was baptized by Bishop Ellis and received the Holy Ghost with gift of speaking in tongues when I was 12
So glad I found him

Kept from the world unspotted,
Treading where Jesus trod.

Oh, to be “Kept for Jesus!”
Lord, at Thy feet I fall;
I would be “nothing, nothing, nothing”;
Thou shall be “all in all.”
Oh, to be “Kept for Jesus!”
Serving as He shall choose;
“Kept” for the Master?s pleasure;
“Kept” for the Master?s use.
Refrain
Oh, to be “Kept for Jesus!”
Kept from the world apart;
Lowly in mind and spirit,
Gentle and pure in heart.

Kept, to be His alone!
Refrain
