Now let's join the service. 5 00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:17,520 Well, good morning. Oh, we almost got everybody to 6 00:00:17,520 --> 00:00:20,000 say that, didn't we? Good morning. 7 00:00:20,840 --> 00:00:23,960 There you go. Say, the more you put into this 8 00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:26,160 service, the more you get out of this service. 9 00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:29,840 If you sit here on your hands and look like the hogs just ate 10 00:00:29,840 --> 00:00:31,640 your little brother, you ain't going to get nothing out of the 11 00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:34,600 service, OK? We are the Eubanks. 12 00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:38,840 We're from a big metropolitan area called Bismarck, Arkansas. 13 00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:42,720 Boy, it got quiet in here quick, didn't it? 14 00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:46,360 Hot Bismarck is down there. Hot Springs. 15 00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:49,480 We we we're there now. Good deal. 16 00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:53,800 We have been traveling. We sold our houses three years 17 00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:59,600 ago or so and we are traveling full time. 18 00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:03,480 You know, God kept telling us go full time, go full time, you 19 00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:06,320 need to be out on the road. We'd stick our toe in that water 20 00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:08,920 and we'd back up and say we did it. 21 00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:12,360 God, he's no, you didn't stick our toe in that water. 22 00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:15,520 We kept doing that. Everything we did failed 23 00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:18,600 everything we tried because we tried. 24 00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:22,600 If you hadn't been, and I'm starting, it's totally different 25 00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:26,120 this morning and I if you ain't figured out in life if you'll 26 00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:29,560 shut up and get out of the way and be still, you'll find out a 27 00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:32,880 whole lot of stuff. Had an old man tell me one time, 28 00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:35,320 if you can't hear God's voice, shut up. 29 00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:39,440 Took me 40 years to figure out what he was trying to say. 30 00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:44,920 We are from Bismarck. We are the Eubanks and I'm 31 00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:46,520 trying to remember what else I was going to say. 32 00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:48,960 We are not here to entertain you. 33 00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:51,560 We are going to sing here in a few minutes. 34 00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:55,880 We ain't your entertainment. We're here to uplift his name 35 00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:59,520 because he is worthy. So you get into it. 36 00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:07,360 Pastor, we didn't even discuss. Do y'all use these pieces of 37 00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:09,759 wood over here or is that just decoration? 38 00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:16,320 All right, let let me tell you, he and I have not discussed this 39 00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:18,840 this morning and I apologize this is my fault. 40 00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:21,080 But he said take liberty. So I'm about to. 41 00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:24,360 I don't care what we're doing. I don't care what we're saying, 42 00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:26,000 and I don't care what's going on in this. 43 00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:29,240 If you need help, but if you need prayer this morning, you 44 00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:35,920 get up here. Your salvation, your need, your 45 00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:40,600 your Jesus mainline is far more important than anything we'll 46 00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:44,520 ever sing. Our whole job with this 47 00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:47,000 ministry. Everywhere we travel, we've got 48 00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:50,720 #1 number one goal. And it is to make heaven as 49 00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:56,680 crowded as possible. So without all that in mind, I 50 00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:59,080 will, I, I'm going to do something else that I never do. 51 00:02:59,920 --> 00:03:03,080 This one right here. Since y'all, how many of have 52 00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:06,600 seen us before? 1 of you put your hand down, 53 00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:08,760 Lonnie. You don't count dear friend of 54 00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:13,200 ours. This is my much better half. 55 00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:17,280 I out kicked my coverage. I'm thankful that you know I 56 00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:19,920 used to make a joke that she drives everywhere we go. 57 00:03:19,920 --> 00:03:22,160 All I'd had to do was hold the steering wheel mash gas in a 58 00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:26,480 brake. Since this happened I set over 59 00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:28,760 and be a passenger Princess and keep my mouth shut. 60 00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:33,880 So I've had people ask did how? How hard did she hit you? 61 00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:36,200 My brother, she didn't touch me or I wouldn't. 62 00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:42,160 Both eyes would be covered. So could not imagine doing life. 63 00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:45,120 Could not imagine doing ministry or anything else without this 64 00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:48,240 one. You just it take me over an hour 65 00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:51,000 to start beginning to explain what all she does for this 66 00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:52,800 family. Would you make her welcome? 67 00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:58,880 This is Jennifer Eubanks. Get you out of the way. 68 00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:00,880 Like I said, we're doing this totally different than we've 69 00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:04,320 ever done. So this one, huh? 70 00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:06,280 Oh, well, you'll know who we are now. 71 00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:08,760 So when you start throwing things at us, you'll know who to 72 00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:13,520 hit. This one is 18 years old. 73 00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:18,040 She graduated high school at 15, ranked number one in her class. 74 00:04:18,519 --> 00:04:24,200 And of course, the fact that she was homeschooled helps that out 75 00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:29,480 a whole bunch. She still hates that joke. 76 00:04:31,840 --> 00:04:35,440 She is an incredible young lady of if. 77 00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:38,200 If I remember and we have time here in a minute, I'll tell you 78 00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:46,760 how her persistence and and her dedication to God is what put us 79 00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:50,760 as a ministry together to continue on down the road 80 00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:54,160 because we we were at a crossroads roads where we were 81 00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:58,200 either going to stop or don't you do it. 82 00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:05,320 She's quick witted too. And and but we're she believes 83 00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:09,160 everything that we're singing. She is into this for God. 84 00:05:09,840 --> 00:05:14,880 She's had opportunities to do other things at 18, and she 85 00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:19,240 could, if she can hide from dad long enough to do it, because 86 00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:22,920 I'm not going to let her. But she believes everything that 87 00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:25,920 we're singing. She's born again Spirit Field, 88 00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:27,680 and we could not be more blessed as parents. 89 00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:34,320 This is Emma Eubanks. All right, All right. 90 00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:37,800 I'm going to get the elephant in the room out of the way. 91 00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:40,920 You ready? She really did marry. 92 00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:48,000 No, that wasn't the that way. Hey, we're supposed to laugh as 93 00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:51,640 Christians and have fun, right? If you can't laugh at yourself, 94 00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:53,040 you call me and I'll laugh at you. 95 00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:59,040 But all right, the eye patch. I'm going to congratulate y'all 96 00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:06,880 because since June of last year is when this happened, y'all are 97 00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:13,160 the second church and group of people that not a single person 98 00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:17,160 made a joke about my eye patch. I'm serious. 99 00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:22,280 I am very serious. There are no pirate jokes. 100 00:06:22,280 --> 00:06:26,960 There hadn't been any. Any jokes like that don't bother 101 00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:28,520 me. I'm retired cop. 102 00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:30,240 I can handle a whole lot more than that. 103 00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:37,960 But what bothered me about that? You go into a restaurant, ain't 104 00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:39,360 nobody saying the thing about it. 105 00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:44,080 You going to a church? They're making jokes and having 106 00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:47,480 fun with it. What are we doing to people 107 00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:50,680 outside of our church that's coming in here? 108 00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:55,120 Y'all need to be proud of the fact that nobody did. 109 00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:57,360 Pastor, You're, you're leading a good flock. 110 00:06:57,440 --> 00:07:01,440 That's everybody's on it. We've had a bunch of people talk 111 00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:04,400 to us this morning. Love meeting you, love meeting 112 00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:05,560 more of you here in a little while. 113 00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:11,440 But that, that's a big thing. And it's not because it, oh, 114 00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:14,080 it's spared my feelings. It ain't got nothing to do with 115 00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:20,560 that, but you bring somebody in. Why would I, as a center 116 00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:25,400 outsider, want to come be a part of a God thing if all I'm going 117 00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:28,880 to do is get hurt? I can get that in a bar. 118 00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:34,760 So y'all, y'all are with me. I like this crowd. 119 00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:38,800 So I'm going to shut up and we're going to sing now, all 120 00:07:39,520 --> 00:08:13,520 right? For Joe that lost his health, 121 00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:20,040 wealth and all the rest and as his troubles added up, he fell 122 00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:25,240 down on his knees and said, Lord, I've still got one thing 123 00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:31,000 that you love for me. You got to count your blessings. 124 00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:35,919 You'll find one if. You drive, count on the Lord, 125 00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:39,159 and watch that blessing multiply. 126 00:08:39,919 --> 00:08:43,559 Those might have, could have, should have been, are nothing 127 00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:48,040 but distressing. When you're down and down, it's 128 00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:53,600 time to count your blessings. How many all are blessed this 129 00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:59,400 morning You might go. Through hard times when you fall 130 00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:05,560 into despair, remember you're surrounded by His blessings 131 00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:09,440 everywhere. It's in a neighbors helping hand 132 00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:15,600 or in the sunshine of a smile. One blessing leads to one more. 133 00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:21,240 You'll be calm for a while. It's best to look at what you 134 00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:27,120 have, forget what you have not, and just learn a lesson from old 135 00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:29,600 job. Give thanks for what you got. 136 00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:32,920 You got to count. Your blessings. 137 00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:39,280 You'll find one if you try.

Nothing but distressing. 140 00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:50,360 When you're. Down and out. 141 00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:59,360 It's time to count your. Blessings 1. 142 00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:06,000 Risen Savior 1. Perfect love one only problem. 143 00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:14,080 One is enough. You've got to count your 144 00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:17,600 blessings. You find one if you try. 145 00:10:19,560 --> 00:10:23,600 Count on the Lord and watch that blessing multiply. 146 00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:27,160 Those might have, could have, should have been. 147 00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:32,640 Are nothing but distressing. When you're down and out, it's 148 00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:35,480 time to count your blessings. Thank you that. 149 00:10:56,840 --> 00:11:14,540 Upset, lost and lone, I was living in 150 00:11:14,540 --> 00:11:19,040 sin. Empty without. 151 00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:22,920 I was dying within. And. 152 00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:33,160 Then I met the Potter and he molded this clay. 153 00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:42,680 I thank God for the changes. He made every drop of this 154 00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:46,720 world. It washes whiter. 155 00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:54,600 Than snow. 1. Such year this garment can hear 156 00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:58,560 and make you home from the cross. 157 00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:02,480 O Mount Calvary to win the stone roll. 158 00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:10,120 Night way. I thank God for the changes he 159 00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:14,560 made. How many are we thankful for the 160 00:12:14,680 --> 00:12:16,320 those changes he made in your life? 161 00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:30,620 A. Blind man can't see, the lame 162 00:12:30,940 --> 00:12:40,340 can't walk again. I've been forgiven for all of my 163 00:12:40,900 --> 00:12:47,740 sins and now the past is far behind me. 164 00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:56,160 I know I've been saved. I thank God for the changes He 165 00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:02,640 made every drop. Of his blood. 166 00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:08,080 It washes whiter. Than snow. 1. 167 00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:17,800 Touch of his garment can hear the naked woman from the cross O 168 00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:22,680 Mount Calvary to win the song roll away. 169 00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:30,440 I thank God for the changes he me. 170 00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:36,400 I thank God for the changes. He me. 171 00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:53,760 Real quick, I know we already talked about our sweet little 172 00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:55,640 Emma. And as her Mama, I'm so proud of 173 00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:57,880 her. She is incredibly smart, 174 00:13:57,880 --> 00:14:00,560 incredibly talented. But at the end of the day, as 175 00:14:00,560 --> 00:14:04,280 her Mama, I'm so thankful that she is willing to step out and 176 00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:09,320 tell others about Christ. And, and she does that and the 177 00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:11,720 Lord has given her a beautiful gift of discernment. 178 00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:16,080 And sometimes that is a heavy load to bear, but she handles it 179 00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:19,000 so well. And for a while she didn't want 180 00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:20,800 to tell us about it because she thought she was being 181 00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:23,760 judgmental. And we told her, you know, if 182 00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:26,000 the Lord has given you a gift, you use it. 183 00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:29,080 And it's not to be judgmental. It's because he's telling you 184 00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:34,640 how to discern what's happening. And so we're extremely proud of 185 00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:36,960 her, but she's going to sing this next song. 186 00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:40,000 And, and I will introduce him in a minute, but this is Terry. 187 00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:43,600 And he wrote this song when he was 17. 188 00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:49,480 And it's a, it's a simple song, but it's so poignant for today 189 00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:53,480 because we all need to just trust the Lord. 190 00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:57,640 If you've given your heart and soul over to the Lord, then 191 00:14:57,640 --> 00:14:59,880 there's no reason why we can't just trust. 192 00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:02,920 But we try to get, you know, get in the middle of all of that and 193 00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:05,920 we make things worse. But she started singing it 194 00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:08,920 pretty regularly when she was 17. 195 00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:12,760 And last year, it was really, it's kind of been her song now. 196 00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:17,040 And for the Lord to take a song that Terry wrote at 17 and that 197 00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:20,480 she could start using as a ministry tool when she was 17, I 198 00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:23,920 love to see how the Lord works. So we hope that you enjoy this 199 00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:25,360 song. It's called Trust in the Lord. 200 00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:49,080 They took the man to Calvary, nailed him up for all they see, 201 00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:59,080 and humiliate him. When they thought that he was 202 00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:06,560 dead and gone, they placed his body in a tomb and forgot about 203 00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:14,560 him. But they didn't know what they 204 00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:18,160 were in for. When the storm was moved, he 205 00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:21,800 wasn't there anymore. He had gone away. 206 00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:31,760 Well, that same spirit still moves around. 207 00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:38,440 He'll pick you up when you're feeling down if you trust in 208 00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:50,320 Him. Trust in my Lord, He'll help you 209 00:16:50,960 --> 00:17:05,640 every day. He died on the Grove to take 210 00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:13,680 your sins away. Trust. 211 00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:29,240 In our Lord, help free from your sin, no problem in life. 212 00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:43,840 It's too big for him. How many y'all know that there's 213 00:17:43,840 --> 00:17:47,440 nothing too big in my life that my God cannot handle? 214 00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:57,960 And if your life's burning down with a heavy load and you feel 215 00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:11,920 as though you cannot go on up a. And the going seems a little too 216 00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:15,680 rough. No problem in life is ever too 217 00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:24,720 tough. If you'll turn to him, just bow 218 00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:28,240 your head and pray before him you're. 219 00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:34,640 Free from your earth. Listen to Set You Free. 220 00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:46,400 And through the blood of Jesus Christ, He is already paid the 221 00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:54,760 price and is waiting for you. Trust in. 222 00:18:55,280 --> 00:19:17,760 The Lord He'll help you every. He died on the to take you sins. 223 00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:33,720 Away trust in. My Lord, He'll free you from 224 00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:49,160 your sin. No problem in life is too big 225 00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:57,560 for him. No problem in life. 226 00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:23,760 Is too big for him. Amen. 227 00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:28,920 I love that song. And Terry didn't expand kind on 228 00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:35,360 what had happened with his eye. But last year was a it was a 229 00:20:35,360 --> 00:20:38,120 wild year. And when you submit your life to 230 00:20:38,120 --> 00:20:40,880 ministry, a lot of times the devil comes at you a whole lot 231 00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:45,600 harder than anything else. And last year, so in June, he 232 00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:48,840 had a stroke in the optic nerve behind his eyes. 233 00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:52,360 So just the nerve, not a body stroke, but it's caused him to 234 00:20:52,360 --> 00:20:56,040 be pretty much completely blind, according to the doctors. 235 00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:58,560 And they say that it will not return. 236 00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:03,280 But I know a healer and it between the two of us, we went 237 00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:06,080 to the ERI don't know probably four or five times last year and 238 00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:10,200 got a lot of new diagnosis that we were not prepared for. 239 00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:15,600 And so I was pretty defeated. It doesn't take much when you 240 00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:18,920 start getting, well, you got this and you got this and oh, 241 00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:22,160 you're blind now in that eye and you can't see and it starts to 242 00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:25,200 add up and it starts to weigh on you even as a Christian, because 243 00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:29,280 I I know that the Lord has it in control, but I wasn't letting 244 00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:34,000 him have control. And so I was reading one day and 245 00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:34,920 I'm going to share this with you. 246 00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:39,160 So this verse is Matthew 1720 and 21. 247 00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:43,240 If you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you will tell this 248 00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:46,320 mountain, move from here to there and it will move. 249 00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:51,840 Nothing will be impossible. And again, I love how the Lord 250 00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:54,480 works. We were at a church and pastor 251 00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:56,920 gave us some mustard seeds. And I carry this everywhere we 252 00:21:56,920 --> 00:22:00,080 go. And I kind of at first when he 253 00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:02,120 gave it to me, I thought, why is he giving me a jar of mustard 254 00:22:02,120 --> 00:22:06,720 seeds? And I don't know why this is my 255 00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:14,520 reminder to let and I'm sorry, but to let my faith take over my 256 00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:17,880 fear because last year was a lot of fear. 257 00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:22,000 But I got to reading because that verse kind of struck me 258 00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:25,040 funny. You know, we get to we get to 259 00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:27,120 thinking about how small a mustard seed is. 260 00:22:27,120 --> 00:22:30,680 And growing up, it was always, you know, well, you just have to 261 00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:33,920 have this amount of this amount of, and I just thought, oh, OK, 262 00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:35,800 I got to have this tiny amount of faith. 263 00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:41,600 But as I started reading, you know, I, I learned a whole lot 264 00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:43,560 more and I can deep dive into things. 265 00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:47,840 But if the Lord put it in his word, I want to know why. 266 00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:51,680 There's a reason why God is sharing that with us. 267 00:22:52,360 --> 00:22:56,040 So I kind of deep dived and went on this whole thing with a 268 00:22:56,040 --> 00:23:01,480 mustard seed and I realized and I got real excited. 269 00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:05,640 I, I figured out some 4 words and I wrote them in all caps in 270 00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:07,280 my Bible. And I was chasing Emma down 271 00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:09,360 trying to share them with her. She's looking at me like what 272 00:23:09,360 --> 00:23:15,040 are you talking about? But way back when the mustard 273 00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:19,560 seed was absolutely invasive. So when it was in a field and I 274 00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:22,400 don't know if any of y'all farm, it took over. 275 00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:25,880 So whatever you were farming, if there was a mustard seed there, 276 00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:32,640 it crowded out everything. And you know it basically with 277 00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:35,600 the soil, it just dominated it. So nothing else could, could 278 00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:40,280 grow. And so farmers hated it because 279 00:23:40,280 --> 00:23:42,920 they knew that they, they wouldn't be able to control it 280 00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:51,640 or contain it and, or manage it. And so when Jesus was speaking 281 00:23:52,320 --> 00:23:57,360 about having this faith as a mustard seed, at that time, 282 00:23:57,960 --> 00:24:03,120 those readers and those listeners knew that these 283 00:24:03,120 --> 00:24:07,440 mustard seeds were uncontainable, invasive, 284 00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:15,520 dominating, and unstoppable. And so as I started, I kind of 285 00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:18,600 sat there and I pondered that and I thought, OK, all right, 286 00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:21,320 Lord, I get it. I got it. 287 00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:25,680 And I had to do like a a little self check on my face. 288 00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:32,160 So I'm going to ask you what I asked myself, is your faith this 289 00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:40,480 morning uncontainable? Is your faith invasive? 290 00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:44,960 Do you let it invade your entire life? 291 00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:53,120 Is your faith dominating? Is your faith unstoppable? 292 00:24:55,920 --> 00:24:59,040 I had to ask myself that. And I can promise you the answer 293 00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:01,920 was to no. Every single one of those 294 00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:04,800 because we've just been through so much. 295 00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:09,680 And I just let everything just take over and become a negative 296 00:25:09,680 --> 00:25:13,600 Nancy. But my God is bigger than that. 297 00:25:15,120 --> 00:25:18,040 And so this year, and I'm not one of those that like picks a 298 00:25:18,040 --> 00:25:22,160 word of the year, you know, and takes takes that. 299 00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:28,480 But these words stuck with me because if a farmer who knew 300 00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:35,080 that this little mustard seed was not tiny in his book, that 301 00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:40,040 it was what was going to dominate his field, then I can 302 00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:42,120 apply that to my life and my faith. 303 00:25:42,120 --> 00:25:45,720 So I'm going to tell you these 4 words again and just think about 304 00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:50,000 that with your faith. Let your faith be uncontainable, 305 00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:56,760 invasive, dominating, and unstoppable. 306 00:25:57,480 --> 00:26:01,440 I think we could almost change the world if all of us would let 307 00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:30,370 our faith be unstoppable. There's a lighthouse on the 308 00:26:30,370 --> 00:26:31,970 hillside there. Overlooks. 309 00:26:33,730 --> 00:26:44,280 Live scene when I'm tossed it seems out of life that must see 310 00:26:46,560 --> 00:27:07,680 the shin lanes in or out now. I will safely leave the storm if 311 00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:12,240 it wasn't. For that lighthouse. 312 00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:18,000 Yeah. Well, this ship would be known 313 00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:31,840 and I thank God for the lighthouse. 314 00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:46,720 I owe my life to Him, for Jesus is the lighthouse, and from the 315 00:27:46,720 --> 00:27:52,520 rocks of sin He. Has shown. 316 00:27:53,520 --> 00:28:02,960 The light around me that I can clear the sea. 317 00:28:05,160 --> 00:28:09,120 If it was and for the lighthouse. 318 00:28:12,440 --> 00:28:15,600 Where would this? Sure. 319 00:28:22,040 --> 00:28:30,200 Be everybody that lives around us, says Tare. 320 00:28:30,800 --> 00:28:43,040 That lighthouse? The big ships don't sail this 321 00:28:43,120 --> 00:28:49,040 way anymore. There's no use of it standing 322 00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:55,840 right. Then my mind goes back to that 323 00:28:55,840 --> 00:29:06,040 storm, and I went just in time. I saw the light, yes, the light 324 00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:13,480 from that old lighthouse that stands upon me. 325 00:29:19,360 --> 00:29:29,920 And I think for the lighthouse, I owe my life. 326 00:29:30,680 --> 00:29:45,520 To Him for Jesus is the light house, and from the rocks of sin 327 00:29:47,080 --> 00:30:00,920 He has shown the light around me that I can clearly see. 328 00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:07,360 If. It wasn't for the light house. 329 00:30:10,440 --> 00:30:28,560 Where would this ship be? I walked in this morning, heard 330 00:30:28,560 --> 00:30:32,400 him singing that, and I've drove many miles to that song. 331 00:30:32,400 --> 00:30:37,360 Kept me going. In 1970, it was #1 by the 332 00:30:37,360 --> 00:30:40,280 Hensons, and they're modest. They're not going to tell you, 333 00:30:40,280 --> 00:30:43,840 but they got it at #8 right now, so that's awesome. 334 00:30:43,840 --> 00:30:48,720 Hey man, the old is coming back and I'm glad you know it. 335 00:30:48,920 --> 00:30:52,640 It doesn't take smoke and misters and dark house to 336 00:30:52,640 --> 00:30:55,560 worship the Lord, you know, I found he's with me in the light 337 00:30:55,560 --> 00:30:57,360 and he's with me in the darkness. 338 00:30:57,760 --> 00:30:59,720 But them old songs mean something to me. 339 00:30:59,720 --> 00:31:01,400 Amen. They were rolled out of out of 340 00:31:01,400 --> 00:31:03,840 heartfelt stuff and I can understand them. 341 00:31:03,840 --> 00:31:05,800 Some of this new stuff, I don't know what they're saying. 342 00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:09,520 Is that part of getting old? Some of y'all that's older than 343 00:31:09,520 --> 00:31:12,320 me? I mean, it sounds, it sounds 344 00:31:12,320 --> 00:31:14,080 good, but I really don't know what they're saying. 345 00:31:14,080 --> 00:31:17,160 So I can't get a blessing out of it, you know, kind of like 346 00:31:17,160 --> 00:31:19,320 joining in on a picket line. Some of them don't know what 347 00:31:19,320 --> 00:31:20,600 they're doing. They're just doing it. 348 00:31:20,680 --> 00:31:24,520 You know, I'll never forget in Asheville, NC, I talked to some 349 00:31:24,520 --> 00:31:27,680 animal rights activists one time and a guy had a toboggan on and, 350 00:31:28,160 --> 00:31:30,400 and it was summertime and he was out there. 351 00:31:30,400 --> 00:31:32,240 And I said, why don't you come and look at some of these horses 352 00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:34,440 and bulls, how well they're taken care of. 353 00:31:34,440 --> 00:31:37,280 And he said, dude, I could care less. 354 00:31:37,280 --> 00:31:39,320 He said they're just paying me to hold this sign. 355 00:31:42,080 --> 00:31:44,600 I fear there's a lot of churches I'm going to get to preaching. 356 00:31:44,600 --> 00:31:46,760 I got to be quiet. There's a lot of churches like 357 00:31:46,760 --> 00:31:48,040 that. They're just holding the sign, 358 00:31:48,080 --> 00:31:49,760 Amen.

Well, you know, I, I dabble in 390 00:33:53,200 --> 00:33:55,320 songwriting, so I had to come up with something. 391 00:33:55,320 --> 00:34:01,640 So, well, long story, I've been working on a song that might 392 00:34:01,720 --> 00:34:04,600 work for this, but I've only got part of it done. 393 00:34:04,600 --> 00:34:07,040 Is that OK? Is it OK if I do just a little 394 00:34:07,040 --> 00:34:10,239 bit of it that maybe this will this will help? 395 00:34:13,760 --> 00:34:18,639 Well, excuse me, but I thank. You. 396 00:34:19,600 --> 00:34:26,360 Oh y'all already heard that? I did that silliness for one 397 00:34:26,360 --> 00:34:27,960 reason. The guy that wrote that song, 398 00:34:27,960 --> 00:34:34,560 The Chair is named Dean Dillon. Dean is a incredible songwriter. 399 00:34:36,120 --> 00:34:41,400 George Strait himself has written and has recorded 76 of 400 00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:45,840 Dean's songs through the years, and most of those went #1 and 401 00:34:45,840 --> 00:34:48,320 then there's tons of other artists that have recorded 402 00:34:48,320 --> 00:34:51,800 Dean's songs. To my knowledge, Dean only writ 403 00:34:51,800 --> 00:34:54,880 wrote. I could written, wrote, write, 404 00:34:54,880 --> 00:35:00,040 writ. He put pen to paper to one 405 00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:04,160 gospel song that I know of. I've asked Jennifer to sing it 406 00:35:04,160 --> 00:35:06,240 this morning. It's a unique song. 407 00:35:06,640 --> 00:35:08,280 Pay attention to the words to it. 408 00:35:09,640 --> 00:35:15,840 It's about a fictitious a man named Jonas who has two jobs. 409 00:35:17,320 --> 00:35:21,880 He builds Wooden Crosses and he drives nails through flesh. 410 00:35:24,080 --> 00:35:27,720 Listen to the words of this. It's called lunatic, liar, or 411 00:35:27,720 --> 00:35:49,480 Lord. Oh, it took me just to have a 412 00:35:49,600 --> 00:36:00,320 day to make the cross seed bear and the soldiers 15 minutes for 413 00:36:00,320 --> 00:36:06,880 the crown of thorns. He'd wear salmon from Cyrene. 414 00:36:07,520 --> 00:36:15,160 They made him carry the cross as they marched him to the place of 415 00:36:15,160 --> 00:36:19,240 the skull and offered him wine and gold. 416 00:36:26,440 --> 00:36:33,320 But Jesus wouldn't take it. Some great setting free. 417 00:36:34,640 --> 00:36:40,480 Someone turned to me and asked who do. 418 00:36:40,800 --> 00:36:46,240 You believe? Do you take him at his word? 419 00:36:47,240 --> 00:36:52,560 For it's a double edged sword. Is he a lunatic? 420 00:36:53,360 --> 00:37:06,930 Hail, I roar. Well, me, my name is Jonas. 421 00:37:07,970 --> 00:37:16,530 My trade is nails in men, but this one always different from 422 00:37:16,530 --> 00:37:20,680 me. The other one of them with the 423 00:37:20,680 --> 00:37:26,800 first back in his right hand, I looked him in the eye. 424 00:37:28,640 --> 00:37:35,280 The guilty ones cry out for shame, but his they did not lie. 425 00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:48,680 Was too early play for the sunset, yet so dark we could not 426 00:37:49,120 --> 00:37:53,840 see. And I heard his voice cry out. 427 00:37:54,080 --> 00:37:59,440 My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? 428 00:38:00,520 --> 00:38:06,440 We just cast our lots for his clothes, for none of us were 429 00:38:06,440 --> 00:38:09,440 sure. See a little tick? 430 00:38:10,280 --> 00:38:24,640 Hail, I roar. Who we gathered in our room in 431 00:38:24,640 --> 00:38:32,520 our sorrow and despair. Mary rushed from the tomb, said 432 00:38:32,560 --> 00:38:40,400 Our Lord is not there. It suddenly appeared to us with 433 00:38:40,400 --> 00:38:48,160 spike marks on his feet, reached out his hands of blood and love 434 00:38:49,040 --> 00:38:54,280 and turned to them and me, he said. 435 00:38:54,280 --> 00:38:59,080 Now who? Who do you believe? 436 00:39:06,240 --> 00:39:14,680 Do you take me at my word? It's a double edged sword in my 437 00:39:14,720 --> 00:39:28,840 lunar take, Yes. I take him at his word. 438 00:39:30,720 --> 00:39:35,400 He's my shield and sword. No lunar take. 439 00:39:46,030 --> 00:39:49,710 He's my. Hallelujah. 440 00:40:06,870 --> 00:40:10,510 This is an old song and I know a lot of y'all probably know this, 441 00:40:10,510 --> 00:40:14,640 but I'm gonna try to do it. But we were in a church 442 00:40:14,640 --> 00:40:17,160 yesterday that was full of mold and I am feeling it this 443 00:40:17,160 --> 00:40:21,880 morning. And but this song still holds 444 00:40:21,880 --> 00:40:25,960 true because without that blood that Jesus shed on Calvary, I 445 00:40:25,960 --> 00:40:29,960 would have nothing. And he was willing to pay that 446 00:40:29,960 --> 00:40:32,080 price that a lot of us aren't willing to pay. 447 00:40:33,680 --> 00:40:35,960 And so if you know this song, you can sing along. 448 00:40:35,960 --> 00:40:38,600 But it's an old good one, The blood. 449 00:40:50,080 --> 00:41:05,320 The blood that Jesus shed for me way back on carry. 450 00:41:09,440 --> 00:41:13,240 It's. That blood that gives me 451 00:41:13,240 --> 00:41:25,640 strength from now to day, and it will never lose its purse. 452 00:41:30,040 --> 00:41:45,520 It reaches the highest mountain and it flows to the lowest, the. 453 00:41:52,040 --> 00:42:00,400 The blood that gives me strength from day-to-day, it will. 454 00:42:02,040 --> 00:42:05,400 Never. Lose its. 455 00:42:11,040 --> 00:42:22,320 It soothes my doubts and it calms all my feet in that same 456 00:42:22,600 --> 00:42:33,040 man drives all of my tears. It's that blur that gives me 457 00:42:33,160 --> 00:42:38,560 strength from day to. Day. 458 00:42:39,920 --> 00:42:50,360 It will never lose it's power it. 459 00:42:50,360 --> 00:43:02,720 Reaches to the highest mountain and it flows to the lowest 460 00:43:02,720 --> 00:43:04,920 valley. Roar. 461 00:43:05,280 --> 00:43:06,680 Of the. Lud. 462 00:43:12,040 --> 00:43:15,560 That gives me strength from day to. 463 00:43:18,400 --> 00:43:25,120 Day. It will never lose. 464 00:43:25,120 --> 00:43:28,040 It will never. Lose. 465 00:43:29,680 --> 00:43:35,640 It will. Never lose his. 466 00:43:57,280 --> 00:44:05,720 He lies awake there, all alone most every night, looking back 467 00:44:05,800 --> 00:44:14,040 on all of his mistakes. He's wishing through his tears 468 00:44:14,040 --> 00:44:21,080 that he could just go back 'cause there's a lot of things 469 00:44:21,080 --> 00:44:29,040 he'd like to change. He just can't forgive himself 470 00:44:29,520 --> 00:44:39,640 and forgive even though God already did if he can love 471 00:44:39,640 --> 00:44:45,800 someone. And find the good within, in 472 00:44:45,800 --> 00:44:52,920 spite of what they've done, no matter where they've been. 473 00:44:52,920 --> 00:45:01,120 If he can let it go and set the dead and free, if he can keep 474 00:45:01,280 --> 00:45:09,240 forgiving you and me, why can't we? 475 00:45:16,700 --> 00:45:21,020 There've been times I've been so hurt by someone. 476 00:45:21,380 --> 00:45:27,420 Else I didn't want to give a second chance. 477 00:45:31,160 --> 00:45:36,320 I let all the bitterness take control. 478 00:45:38,360 --> 00:45:49,000 And took grace into my own head. But even Jesus said, whoever's 479 00:45:49,000 --> 00:45:50,720 done, no. Wrong. 480 00:45:53,320 --> 00:46:02,200 Let them throw the first storm. If he can love someone and find 481 00:46:02,200 --> 00:46:09,640 the good within in spite of what they've done, no matter where 482 00:46:10,360 --> 00:46:16,280 they've been. If he can let it go and set the 483 00:46:16,440 --> 00:46:23,760 dead free. If he can keep forgiving you and 484 00:46:24,080 --> 00:46:34,520 me, why can't we? He was hated and rejected, 485 00:46:35,360 --> 00:46:41,880 betrayed by those he trusted, even hanging on a cross. 486 00:46:42,120 --> 00:46:52,080 He said Father, please forgive them if he can love someone and. 487 00:46:52,080 --> 00:46:59,880 Find the good within, in spite of what they've done, no matter 488 00:47:00,040 --> 00:47:03,000 where they've been. If. 489 00:47:03,000 --> 00:47:06,480 He can let it go. And. 490 00:47:06,480 --> 00:47:13,920 Set the dead of three. If he can keep forgetting you 491 00:47:15,320 --> 00:47:26,320 and me, why can't we? Why can't? 492 00:47:49,390 --> 00:47:54,710 We, you know, when they dig up precious metals, gold and 493 00:47:54,710 --> 00:47:59,110 silver, they have to clean it and they have to purify it. 494 00:47:59,110 --> 00:48:00,950 Does anybody know how they purify it? 495 00:48:01,870 --> 00:48:03,230 By heat? By fire? 496 00:48:07,110 --> 00:48:14,360 My desire is that he takes his fire and he burns me till there 497 00:48:14,360 --> 00:48:17,080 ain't nothing but His Holiness left in me. 498 00:48:18,840 --> 00:48:20,440 And that's what this song is about. 499 00:48:20,440 --> 00:48:23,800 When I first heard it, I had to do a double take. 500 00:48:23,840 --> 00:48:27,880 You know, we were talking about newer songs and, and dear friend 501 00:48:27,880 --> 00:48:33,280 of ours, matter of fact, Zach's aunt wrote, Melissa wrote this 502 00:48:35,000 --> 00:48:36,840 when I first heard it. I'm like, wait a minute. 503 00:48:36,840 --> 00:48:38,400 I thought I was getting fire insurance. 504 00:48:38,400 --> 00:48:42,560 I don't want to. That's not the point of this 505 00:48:42,560 --> 00:48:43,880 song. We're not talking about literal 506 00:48:43,880 --> 00:48:45,040 fire. We're talking about heavenly 507 00:48:45,040 --> 00:48:46,640 fire. We're talking about holy fire. 508 00:48:49,080 --> 00:48:52,920 And I want him to burn it and I want him to purify me and 509 00:48:52,920 --> 00:48:55,640 cleanse me till there ain't nothing left but His Holiness. 510 00:48:55,960 --> 00:49:18,600 Y'all y'all listen as she sings. I'm so far from perfect. 511 00:49:20,120 --> 00:49:31,000 I am riddled with flaws. I'm not living for earthly 512 00:49:32,200 --> 00:49:37,680 applause.

We're going to do one more song 536 00:53:28,280 --> 00:53:30,320 and get out of the way. At least that's the plan. 537 00:53:34,880 --> 00:53:38,720 Here's the deal. I can't go somewhere and tell 538 00:53:38,720 --> 00:53:42,440 you how great my God is. Sit here and sing about how my 539 00:53:42,440 --> 00:53:46,920 Savior, what He's done for me and not give you a chance to 540 00:53:46,920 --> 00:53:50,680 meet Him. I may be sitting in a room full 541 00:53:50,680 --> 00:53:53,840 of save people on their way to heaven, names in the Lamb book 542 00:53:53,840 --> 00:53:57,360 of life and every other cliche and biblical term that you can 543 00:53:57,360 --> 00:53:59,760 come up with, and that's awesome. 544 00:54:03,920 --> 00:54:14,240 But he left the 99 for the one. If there is one in here, then 545 00:54:14,520 --> 00:54:18,920 we're going to do this. A little different for me, yes, 546 00:54:18,920 --> 00:54:23,320 maybe normal for y'all. If there is one in here, please 547 00:54:23,400 --> 00:54:27,200 stop everything you're doing. Stop your mind for 30 seconds 548 00:54:27,200 --> 00:54:36,000 and listen to my voice. This world is coming to a close. 549 00:54:39,560 --> 00:54:44,400 Don't let anybody tell you the date, the time, the hour, the 550 00:54:44,600 --> 00:54:47,440 the year or anything else. They're lying. 551 00:54:48,440 --> 00:54:51,160 Just cut it blunt. They don't know what they're 552 00:54:51,160 --> 00:54:57,360 talking about, but it's going to happen and if you're not ready 553 00:54:57,360 --> 00:55:00,520 on that day, you will burn in hell for eternity. 554 00:55:01,480 --> 00:55:03,440 There is no Gray area. It's heaven or hell. 555 00:55:05,800 --> 00:55:11,080 There are churches out there that have false doctrine that 556 00:55:11,080 --> 00:55:15,440 want you to feel warm and fuzzy. Warm and fuzzy will put you in 557 00:55:15,440 --> 00:55:17,280 hell faster than everything you can do. 558 00:55:21,200 --> 00:55:24,640 If you have any doubt this morning of where you will spend 559 00:55:24,640 --> 00:55:32,040 eternity, let's fix that doubt. I want you to leave here knowing 560 00:55:32,560 --> 00:55:36,720 that you know that you know that you know that you're on your way 561 00:55:36,720 --> 00:55:40,720 to heaven. There's only one way to get 562 00:55:40,720 --> 00:55:43,800 there. Came by, you can't go to church 563 00:55:43,800 --> 00:55:47,840 every Sunday and and Wednesday and every other time that 564 00:55:47,920 --> 00:55:52,160 there's no deed that you can do. You can't clean yourself up good 565 00:55:52,160 --> 00:55:54,280 enough to make your way to heaven. 566 00:55:55,800 --> 00:55:59,960 I have had people say, well, I'm going to look, I've still got a 567 00:55:59,960 --> 00:56:01,720 few things. I'm going to clean them up in my 568 00:56:01,720 --> 00:56:04,160 life before. You can't get clean enough to 569 00:56:04,160 --> 00:56:05,920 deserve to get in the presence of God. 570 00:56:07,360 --> 00:56:13,000 He said come as you are. So this morning I'm asking you 571 00:56:13,000 --> 00:56:18,240 to come as you are. There's another group of people 572 00:56:18,240 --> 00:56:21,080 that sitting in here told you they ain't no Gray area. 573 00:56:21,080 --> 00:56:25,560 It's either A or B. So you're either unsaved and on 574 00:56:25,560 --> 00:56:28,200 your way to hell or you are saved by the grace of God and 575 00:56:28,200 --> 00:56:32,320 you are on your way to heaven. To those of us that are on our 576 00:56:32,320 --> 00:56:35,480 way to heaven, we got up here and we probably got on our knees 577 00:56:35,480 --> 00:56:39,320 and we surrendered all and, and we cried our tears and we piled 578 00:56:39,320 --> 00:56:42,160 up everything that we have in our past about that high. 579 00:56:44,280 --> 00:56:48,360 And then we got up off of our knees and a lot of us put about 580 00:56:48,360 --> 00:56:51,480 8590% of it back in our pocket and walk through these doors 581 00:56:51,480 --> 00:56:58,640 expecting to go into battle. Y'all, you don't have to carry 582 00:56:58,640 --> 00:57:02,680 around that garbage anymore. You want to experience freedom 583 00:57:02,680 --> 00:57:05,760 for the first time in your life, you come up here and unload it. 584 00:57:05,960 --> 00:57:09,720 God said, come unto me all year weary and heavy laden, I'll give 585 00:57:09,720 --> 00:57:11,080 you rest. You won't rest. 586 00:57:11,920 --> 00:57:15,960 Some of you need the rest, and I'm not talking physical rest, 587 00:57:15,960 --> 00:57:18,160 I'm talking that spiritual battle that's going on. 588 00:57:21,880 --> 00:57:26,400 And here's the other thing that I need from you see, I've always 589 00:57:26,400 --> 00:57:32,480 wondered why we close our eyes and we got to walk up and that's 590 00:57:32,480 --> 00:57:34,640 embarrassing and that's it and that's it. 591 00:57:37,680 --> 00:57:41,960 Did you know that one step that you do just to come up here and 592 00:57:41,960 --> 00:57:47,240 pray, just to come up here and shed the garbage that you're 593 00:57:47,240 --> 00:57:50,400 carrying around? Maybe just enough to encourage 594 00:57:50,400 --> 00:57:53,560 somebody over here that's not safe to get up and walk down 595 00:57:53,560 --> 00:57:57,280 here. Y'all may do it from where you 596 00:57:57,280 --> 00:57:58,520 sit. Don't care. 597 00:57:59,560 --> 00:58:02,120 I I know several people. Do you know this building ain't 598 00:58:02,120 --> 00:58:08,240 always been here. Why did I say that? 599 00:58:08,800 --> 00:58:11,360 Because the ground means absolutely nothing. 600 00:58:12,280 --> 00:58:17,360 The man made structure that this is in that ain't going to get 601 00:58:17,360 --> 00:58:20,800 you to heaven. This is for comfort. 602 00:58:24,160 --> 00:58:30,320 Same people get baptized and after and we just talked about 603 00:58:30,320 --> 00:58:37,360 it this morning pool and and I told church Christ kid one time 604 00:58:37,520 --> 00:58:40,920 we were talking and he said well I can't get saved. 605 00:58:40,920 --> 00:58:44,000 I said why he said because of baptism in our church is broke. 606 00:58:44,520 --> 00:58:47,360 I said, son, you realize that that water supply and that pipe 607 00:58:47,360 --> 00:58:49,680 is the same one that supplies water to that toilet sitting 608 00:58:49,680 --> 00:58:53,400 over there. There is no holiness in that 609 00:58:53,400 --> 00:59:01,800 water, but we can get some in you as we do this last night. 610 00:59:03,200 --> 00:59:06,080 I want you to think long and hard about where you've been. 611 00:59:07,600 --> 00:59:09,320 I want you to think about your past. 612 00:59:10,720 --> 00:59:14,760 I want you to think about the things that you've done that 613 00:59:14,760 --> 00:59:19,360 you're ashamed of. And then I want you to smile 614 00:59:20,440 --> 00:59:25,480 because the Savior, if you're born again, has cleaned those of 615 00:59:25,480 --> 00:59:28,240 you, Satan, now Satan wants you to remember these. 616 00:59:28,840 --> 00:59:33,000 God says, I've got it. I'll cast it as far as the east 617 00:59:33,000 --> 00:59:36,200 is from the West, never to be remembered again. 618 00:59:39,080 --> 00:59:42,760 If you're carrying around that garbage today, do what Jesus 619 00:59:42,760 --> 00:59:46,120 told you he was going to do. Cast it as far as he says from 620 00:59:46,120 --> 00:59:48,480 the West. Now, I ain't the brightest bulb 621 00:59:48,480 --> 00:59:51,320 in the box, but I can tell you that's a long way that I can't 622 00:59:51,320 --> 00:59:54,880 comprehend. And if he's going to y'all 623 00:59:54,880 --> 00:59:59,440 almost said it. There's another line that I use 624 00:59:59,440 --> 01:00:01,400 that I don't want to offend anybody this morning. 625 01:00:01,400 --> 01:00:05,400 So I'll a buddy of mine has to do with Walmart. 626 01:00:08,400 --> 01:00:16,200 Anyway, the bottom line is this, if you ain't saved, you get up 627 01:00:16,200 --> 01:00:19,520 here and let's get it done. And you can walk out of here 628 01:00:19,520 --> 01:00:23,520 with your head held high, knowing that your child of the 629 01:00:23,520 --> 01:00:28,040 one true king. And if you're carrying around 630 01:00:28,040 --> 01:00:32,800 and if you've got issues, you got needs this morning, you need 631 01:00:32,800 --> 01:00:35,680 prayer this morning, you got something you're dealing with. 632 01:00:35,880 --> 01:00:37,640 Well, I don't know if I got things going on. 633 01:00:37,640 --> 01:00:40,280 I tell you what if you don't know if things are going on in 634 01:00:40,280 --> 01:00:43,480 your life and then you, you do right here, you put your fingers 635 01:00:43,480 --> 01:00:46,920 right here. And if you feel that if you got 636 01:00:46,920 --> 01:00:48,920 one of those, you're going through something this morning. 637 01:00:51,240 --> 01:00:55,240 And Satan is a liar and he's out to kill, steal and destroy. 638 01:00:55,240 --> 01:01:00,080 We're going to do this last song. 639 01:01:00,080 --> 01:01:04,960 And it simply says, no matter what you've done, no matter what 640 01:01:04,960 --> 01:01:09,960 your past looks like, no matter what you've been through, you're 641 01:01:09,960 --> 01:01:12,960 never too broken to belong to him. 642 01:01:13,920 --> 01:01:41,570 As we sing this, you come. The door is open. 643 01:01:41,570 --> 01:01:51,600 Come on in as you are, all you need to bring is what remains of 644 01:01:52,000 --> 01:01:58,880 your heart. I see the ears of fear and pain 645 01:01:59,040 --> 01:02:04,000 on your face, but take a step inner in. 646 01:02:04,480 --> 01:02:08,640 You are safe in this place. You. 647 01:02:08,800 --> 01:02:21,920 Are never too broken to blow. Never too dead, never too far 648 01:02:22,440 --> 01:02:28,560 gone. When you find Jesus, you'll find 649 01:02:30,120 --> 01:02:35,680 your home. You're never too broken to move. 650 01:02:44,160 --> 01:02:50,960 Come find the perfect love that no one is no one. 651 01:02:51,360 --> 01:02:55,520 Is a. Piece so sweet it can't be put 652 01:02:56,000 --> 01:03:02,640 into words. And grace that's greater than 653 01:03:02,840 --> 01:03:08,720 the darkest of sin. Take a step in a ring. 654 01:03:10,240 --> 01:03:18,040 Let the healing begin. You're never too broken to move, 655 01:03:22,760 --> 01:03:27,880 never too net, never too far gone. 656 01:03:30,160 --> 01:03:36,200 When you find Jesus, you'll find your home. 657 01:03:37,520 --> 01:03:39,560 You're. Never too. 658 01:03:39,720 --> 01:03:41,280 Broken. To born. 659 01:03:44,080 --> 01:03:49,360 And we? Too are wounded and defeated, so 660 01:03:49,360 --> 01:03:55,320 we know how you feel. And by the wounds of our 661 01:03:55,320 --> 01:04:00,880 Redeemer we believed. We. 662 01:04:01,640 --> 01:04:12,720 Were here you're never too broken to war you're. 663 01:04:13,280 --> 01:04:22,560 Never too broken to war, never too. 664 01:04:24,640 --> 01:04:32,480 Never too far gone. When you find Jesus, you'll find 665 01:04:33,920 --> 01:04:44,280 your. Home, You're never too broken to 666 01:04:44,480 --> 01:04:56,920 blown. You're never too broken to 667 01:04:56,920 --> 01:05:04,520 blown. Never too broken. 668 01:05:17,550 --> 01:05:25,590 Wow, what a song before we close, before we close we me and 669 01:05:25,590 --> 01:05:29,870 my wife felt led to do something and she whispered there and the 670 01:05:29,870 --> 01:05:33,070 Lord was moving and I want you. Can you sing that song about 671 01:05:33,070 --> 01:05:40,200 trust again for us at closing? You know, the Bible says that we 672 01:05:40,200 --> 01:05:46,760 do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the against 673 01:05:46,760 --> 01:05:49,280 the principalities and the rulers of darkness. 674 01:05:49,280 --> 01:05:52,320 And it that Scripture always intrigued me because it said 675 01:05:52,320 --> 01:05:58,560 it's trying to live darkness is trying to live in a heavenly 676 01:05:58,560 --> 01:06:01,200 place. But when Jesus came, he said, I 677 01:06:01,200 --> 01:06:06,120 came to expose the darkness, the sickness, the pain. 678 01:06:07,440 --> 01:06:13,640 And in Matthew chapter 14, there was a boy that got healed. 679 01:06:13,640 --> 01:06:15,920 You know, healing was a big part of what Jesus did. 680 01:06:15,920 --> 01:06:20,640 It's why he came. And in Matthew chapter 17 and 681 01:06:20,640 --> 01:06:25,880 14, a boy had came, his father had brought him and he had laid 682 01:06:25,880 --> 01:06:30,560 him at, he laid down at Jesus feet. 683 01:06:30,560 --> 01:06:38,360 And he said, Lord have mercy on my son for he's an epileptic and 684 01:06:38,360 --> 01:06:41,920 he suffers severely for he often throws himself into the fire and 685 01:06:41,920 --> 01:06:46,240 often into the water. So I brought him to your 686 01:06:46,240 --> 01:06:49,000 disciples, the closest ones with you. 687 01:06:49,720 --> 01:06:53,240 I brought him to them. And they've been talking about 688 01:06:53,240 --> 01:06:56,360 all the things you could do. We kind of fall under that 689 01:06:56,360 --> 01:06:59,520 category. We talk about what all Jesus can 690 01:06:59,520 --> 01:07:03,840 do, but when it comes our time to respond, we, we, we want to 691 01:07:03,840 --> 01:07:07,200 turn the lights down a little bit and set in the darkness. 692 01:07:08,720 --> 01:07:11,040 But he said, I brought him to your disciples. 693 01:07:12,840 --> 01:07:15,400 And on this particular day, they could not heal him. 694 01:07:16,800 --> 01:07:18,320 They've been hanging out with the healer. 695 01:07:18,320 --> 01:07:21,000 They had been rubbing shoulders with Jesus. 696 01:07:21,000 --> 01:07:23,800 They had been eating and sleeping with him and, and, and 697 01:07:23,800 --> 01:07:26,040 going around and traveling and ministering. 698 01:07:26,040 --> 01:07:31,680 And yet it says they couldn't cure him, couldn't cast out the 699 01:07:31,680 --> 01:07:35,920 demon. And Jesus answered, how do you 700 01:07:35,920 --> 01:07:40,120 think he answered that? He called him faithless and he 701 01:07:40,120 --> 01:07:44,160 called him perverse, probably told him they didn't have the 702 01:07:44,160 --> 01:07:50,480 faith of a mustard seed. And he said, how long shall I 703 01:07:50,480 --> 01:07:53,160 bear with you? I wonder when God looks at the 704 01:07:53,160 --> 01:07:57,000 church today and we, we raise our hands, we clap, we tell 705 01:07:57,000 --> 01:08:01,640 everybody how God heals and all the things he does and how long 706 01:08:01,640 --> 01:08:04,720 will he bear with us? But it, it goes back right here 707 01:08:04,720 --> 01:08:08,000 to why it didn't happen. And Jesus, he rebuked the demon 708 01:08:09,000 --> 01:08:12,920 and it came out. Can I say that again? 709 01:08:13,160 --> 01:08:20,160 He rebuked the demon, we feed the demon and he said they were 710 01:08:20,160 --> 01:08:22,240 faithless. They said they were perverse and 711 01:08:22,520 --> 01:08:25,600 Jesus rebuked the demon and it came out in the child was cured. 712 01:08:25,600 --> 01:08:28,240 That say it with me that very hour. 713 01:08:29,399 --> 01:08:34,160 Then the disciples came to him privately and he said why could 714 01:08:34,160 --> 01:08:38,960 we not cast it out? Why could we not? 715 01:08:40,560 --> 01:08:43,319 He said this. You can put whatever theology 716 01:08:43,319 --> 01:08:47,520 you want on to it, but it all goes back to faith, the 717 01:08:47,520 --> 01:08:50,920 substance of things hoped for, the evidence of what we cannot 718 01:08:50,920 --> 01:08:53,560 see in Hebrews just described. But he said because of your 719 01:08:53,560 --> 01:08:58,160 unbelief, he said for assuredly I say to you, if you have faith 720 01:08:59,120 --> 01:09:03,800 as a mustard seed, not only did mustard seed take over the 721 01:09:03,800 --> 01:09:08,399 field, but you know when, when I call them planologist, I don't 722 01:09:08,399 --> 01:09:13,359 know the word horticulturalist, they say when you take this 723 01:09:13,359 --> 01:09:16,319 seed, you know they breed seeds. I don't understand how seeds 724 01:09:16,319 --> 01:09:19,080 breed and all that. But they say you can take one of 725 01:09:19,080 --> 01:09:22,920 these mustard seeds and it will not cross with anything else. 726 01:09:22,920 --> 01:09:27,200 It will not produce. So your faith doesn't produce in 727 01:09:27,200 --> 01:09:30,560 your doubt. Faith does not produce in fear. 728 01:09:30,560 --> 01:09:35,600 Y'all are getting quiet on me. And yet Jesus said, we don't see 729 01:09:35,600 --> 01:09:39,120 things in our life because of unbelief. 730 01:09:40,439 --> 01:09:43,359 For surely I say to you, you, if you have faith of a mustard 731 01:09:43,359 --> 01:09:46,200 seed, you will say to this mountain, what's your mountain? 732 01:09:46,200 --> 01:09:47,920 Would you stand to your feet this morning? 733 01:09:49,479 --> 01:09:52,160 I said, what's your mountain? You got a mountain this morning. 734 01:09:53,240 --> 01:09:57,080 Somebody's got a mountain. I want my wife to come down 735 01:09:57,080 --> 01:09:58,800 here. She's she's facing the mountain 736 01:09:58,800 --> 01:10:02,040 of cancer. And the Holy Spirit spoke to my 737 01:10:02,040 --> 01:10:04,480 wife, I want you to come down here with my wife and pray with 738 01:10:04,480 --> 01:10:06,520 her. We feel you're facing something 739 01:10:06,520 --> 01:10:09,120 too, because all of you can look on, but you're facing the 740 01:10:09,120 --> 01:10:15,200 mountain. The question is, have you, have 741 01:10:15,200 --> 01:10:19,200 you spoke to the mountain? What did he say about the 742 01:10:19,200 --> 01:10:22,480 mountain? He didn't say go believe the 743 01:10:22,480 --> 01:10:27,120 greatest doctor. He said to this mountain, move 744 01:10:27,120 --> 01:10:33,600 from here, move from here to there and be cast. 745 01:10:33,600 --> 01:10:35,680 Where? Into the sea. 746 01:10:38,200 --> 01:10:40,200 And he said this. He said in nothing. 747 01:10:40,200 --> 01:10:45,960 Say that with me, nothing will be impossible for you if you 748 01:10:45,960 --> 01:10:48,800 don't doubt it. But you believe. 749 01:10:50,240 --> 01:10:52,240 But yeah, we're so weak Christians, we're scared to 750 01:10:52,240 --> 01:10:56,280 bring it before God. We think that the doctors 751 01:10:56,280 --> 01:10:58,720 already spoken that science already had. 752 01:10:59,120 --> 01:11:01,440 No, he's fixing to rock some world this morning. 753 01:11:04,320 --> 01:11:06,560 I'm not a preacher that sits here and tells you, you come up 754 01:11:06,560 --> 01:11:08,440 here, you'll be healed. But I'm going to tell you, you 755 01:11:08,440 --> 01:11:12,520 can. I don't know if God's going to 756 01:11:12,520 --> 01:11:15,840 heal your situation. I don't know if the demons 757 01:11:15,840 --> 01:11:18,120 you're carrying around are going to come out, but I can tell you 758 01:11:18,120 --> 01:11:24,160 he can. He said we have not because we 759 01:11:24,160 --> 01:11:26,600 ask not. Thanks for listening to the 760 01:11:26,600 --> 01:11:29,880 Cross Power Church podcast.
