What a great thing for John Legend to do for the Calvary Baptist Church. This is so cool... and a great performance.

Our talents are from The Lord. He loves to hear us lift our voices to sing praises to Him! Blessings to John for His acknowledgment.

John Legend! Thanks be to God for your obedience. There was definitely a message in you being at this service. Blessings 🙌🏼

My soul looks back and wonder how I got over. Thank you Jesus I just want to say thank you Lord.

A true leader never forgets where he came from and the importance of going back and giving back!

Gosh, I wish I was there directing the group & choir! This is one of my favorite gospel songs, and favorite R&B soul singers!!!! Sang, John!!!!!!!!!

Praise God. It is not possible to hear these voices and not feel the power of the spirit moving through you.

I njoyed this Mr. Legend!! Beautiful going back to ur roots!! God is worthy of praise!

He's got such a good spirit about him

God bless our brother and help him stay strong in Him.

This is HEAVENLY! Love this artist!

I appreciate that John felt moved to sing unto the Lord in this place, at this time and share his talent with the congregation and us. Each of us can receive what was offered, bless God and hopefully be inspired to praise God likewise. Thank you, john and keep it up. Now, I'm going to view some more of his gospel videos. Be blessed, everyone!

Thank you John Legend what a blessing and a testimony of your faith feeling blessed by your song of Praise.❤️🙏🏾

I love it how lively American African Churches are ❤❤❤ . It's a joy just to see and hear the Church choir in action . I'll never miss Church if I were in a Community like that . Immanuel. ❤❤

He recognizes his roots. That`s outstanding. Never forget where you come from.

I luv this! John Legend showin his roots to where music started for him. No matter where you are in life, if you grew up in the church you always miss them old gospel songs!

Amen! Let God use all of you in every area of your life John Legend :)

Great performance from John Legend, not too often we have many main stream artists perform in churches and this should be acknowledged and a lesson for upcoming artists as well.

Probably the only way huge celebs like this even get a chance to attend church is by surprise drop-ins, because you know good and well they probably wouldn't even get a chance to get a seat themselves if it were pre-announced. This can be problematic to a celeb who is also seeking a church and closer walk with God. The congregations should remember that celebrities have souls to be saved, too!

Im not sure about artists and contractual cans and cants,but I think its nice to go back to your roots ,not to say "ah ha I made it & you didnt" but show love,respect ,appreciation for their support share knowledge & spark the community with integrity

I love it, took me back to where I started from. Thank you John Legend for taking me to church.!!!

That was truly amazing a gift from God

LOL, he said "a diamond-gem" instead of "a diadem"! All of my childhood I said the same thing until I asked my grandmother what they said. When she said "diadem", I was like, "and what's that"? She said, "You'll find out when you get to heaven, sugah. Now, gone head and let me finish up this here supper." I miss her and one day I hope I get to see her wearing one of those. That'll be enough for me.

"A lot of the greatest soul singers in American history started in the black church." It's ironic, because that's why I feel singers aren't as skilled and powerful as they use too.

I don't have to say how wonder U are & how blesses you are! Jus want to say Thank U!!!

No matter how much a success you may become in the world if you grew up in the church and was actively involved, that is something that never leaves you. You can take the person out the church but the emotional and spiritual feelings never leave. Especially as you get older. Loved it, I'm a PK so I know how you felt!

That was awesome. It was a good way to start off my morning. I, too was raised in a very similar environment and when you have been gone for awhile, there is no better feeling than going back to your roots and getting that spiritual connection.

Would like to see more of our celebrities do this more often. You come in town to perform, stop by a church on Sunday and give back to the Lord.

I didn't read the comments before i wrote my comment so i had to send another one here goes. I am finding that fb is a place for sad and unhappy people to vent themself. I am so sorry for one that have nothing good to say about anything. I believe that GOD loves us one. And all no matter how we feel about one or another we all have to eat to live breath to live and one day die so if anyone that is human is any difference please write or place them on tellie so we will have soomething new to learn about

This is an excellent display of "gospel roots still growing in John Legend." I hope he will consider recording a gospel CD?? god Bless you John!!!

Reading these comments...So many haters. And so sad. People are missing true blessings because God doesn't show up in the package they are accustomed to. Just because someone makes a living singing mostly what some people refer to as secular music, does not mean that God is not working through them to bless people and ultimately get the praise Himself. There are plenty of artists, like John Legend, who may not have "God" and "Jesus" in their lyrics, but their message is filled with truth and light and love. If you don't like it, that's fine, but don't judge someone else's praise. Have several seats!!!!

FANTASTIC~ So humble of him!

I love John Legend. He's truly is one of my favorite artist. He produces real family friendly love songs. But in the case of other secular artist, I truly do wish the church will stop getting so excited by secular artist/music. I mean really where are the people of Zion? Where is the separation btw the world and the church? Until the church realigns its self the world will continue to be lost... Its like the blind leading the blind

We can get out of fellowship with God by following our own selfish desires, but the Holy Spirit has a way of convicting us and bringing us back to God. One day we have to give an account for our lives. And as much as I love John Legend's singing, he will also.

Byron ... If you are going to quote Scripture at least know what you are talking about. In the book of Matthew, Jesus said "Judge Not" ... but that is all you want to hear .. you took that and ran with it because you think that Jesus was telling people who are offended by anything that you might do to leave you alone. But the Scripture went on to say "Lest ye be judge" .. and you went no further because if you read the entire chapter you would realize that Jesus was speaking about "hypocrisy" ... that if you are going to judge someone and condemn them for bad behavior than you yourself should be careful not to judge them when you are doing worse. Remember the part that says why take a "speck" out of your brother's eye when you have a "plank" in yours? Now I frequently hear people use "Don't Judge" as an excuse, but if you even read the Bible on a regular basis you would see in the book of John where Jesus said this ..." When you judge, judge not by appearance, but judge with a righteous judgment."

Beautiful voice; however, I just wish when God bless these singers that they can keep singing for him and not switch over to secular music. I never heard this type of voice tone from him, beautiful.

I would love to hear you singing more worship music. 😍

To God Be Glory for such a surprise. We love you John Legend.
