[00:03:37] [SPEAKER SPEAKER_03]
[00:03:37] to His court with praise. Amen? Oh come let us worship the Lord and let us bow down before God our Creator for we are His people and the sheep of His pasture. The hour cometh and now is when the true worshipers of the Father shall worship Him in spirit and in truth for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seek. God is spirit and they that worship Him must worship Him in spirit and in truth. Let us pray.
[00:04:07] Father, we come now in the precious name of Jesus, oh God, to worship you.
[00:04:12] And we cannot do that without your presence.
[00:04:15] So we ask that you will reveal yourself, manifest yourself, and in terms of your Shekinah glory, we recognize you are omnipresent.
[00:04:24] We know you are indeed everywhere at the same time.
[00:04:27] But we want to experience a manifestation of your presence.
[00:04:31] So come Holy Spirit, come Heavenly Dove, fall afresh on all of us, even right now, In the mighty and glorious name of our Lord and great Savior, Jesus the Christ, we pray.
[00:04:42] Amen.
[00:04:43] Our song of praise this morning is congregational down at the cross, right?
[00:04:47] At the cross.
[00:04:48] Amen.
[00:04:49] At the cross.
[00:04:50] Amen.

[00:04:51] [SPEAKER SPEAKER_04]
[00:04:51] Again, this Sunday, but I'm on it today.

[00:10:00] [SPEAKER SPEAKER_03]
[00:10:00] They're not going to trick me like they did every other Sunday.
[00:10:04] Amen.
[00:10:05] But I will say the essence of what God wants is us to give ourselves to him.
[00:10:11] that's why I said oh lord the debt of grief can never repay the debt of love I owe here lord I give myself away tis all I can do because see God would never force
[00:10:27] us to give ourselves to him now I'm going to say something so you got to understand worship truly and in real where God at the worship really is when we offer ourselves unto God.
[00:10:45] That's real worship.
[00:10:48] Roman Paul looked up the same thing in Romans 12.
[00:10:53] Present your bodies at living sacrifice, holding acceptable unto the Lord.
[00:10:57] And the newer version says, for this is your spiritual act of worship.
[00:11:03] So, I forgot to say it, that's why people don't like the offering.
[00:11:07] To offer at the center of your worship.
[00:11:09] For God would never take you Why? Because it will violate your free will.
[00:11:16] That's why I have to offer.
[00:11:19] So read the Bible carefully.
[00:11:20] All through it, you're going to find offering, the offering, the offering.
[00:11:24] So the offering is the center of our worship.
[00:11:27] That's why the communion table is where it is.
[00:11:31] Y'all don't want to talk to me.
[00:11:32] You don't want to talk to me.
[00:11:35] That's why the communion table is where it is.
[00:11:38] It's the center.
[00:11:40] and in Old Testament it represented God's presence come on y'all talk back to me please honestly it represented God's presence that's where the ark of the covenant was huh and Old Testament we wouldn't be allowed up here
[00:12:00] because there was a curtain that went up that would mean by the veil that separated the holy of holies from the rest of the people and only the high priest could go back there once a year
[00:12:13] on the day of atonement.
[00:12:17] Huh? Are y'all with me now?
[00:12:18] You ever seen some preacher that has what they call a cable tow, a rope around their waist?
[00:12:23] That's what that is.
[00:12:25] Because only the high priest could go back there once a year and if he died, in other words, he went back there without his sin being confessed, he died.
[00:12:34] And nobody could go back there and get him out.
[00:12:36] So they put a rope around here in case he died, they drug him out.
[00:12:42] Okay, let me stop.
[00:12:46] It wasn't required to bring the congregation this time.
[00:12:48] They weren't looking at me.
[00:12:49] Okay, so our scripture lesson is 2 Chronicles.
[00:12:52] And just, we're going to talk about some of this today.
[00:12:56] 2 Chronicles, the 7th chapter, verses 1 through 3.
[00:13:01] 2 Chronicles, 2nd chapter, verses 1 through 3.
[00:13:05] When Solomon finished praying, now the prayer is in chapter 6, fire flashed down from heaven and burned up the burnt offering and sacrifices and the glorious presence stick a pen in the word glorious presence of the lord filled the temple
[00:13:30] the priest could not enter the temple of the lord because the glory of presence of the lord filled it when all the people don't watch what happened afterwards when all the people of israel saw the fire coming down and the glorious presence of the lord filled in the temple
[00:13:53] they fell face down on the ground and worship and praise the lord saying he is good his faithful love his faithful love endures forever the word of god for the people of god thanks be unto god amen and uh this the theme is uh glory and the subject is when the church

[00:26:47] So the word that comes from my mouth will be those ordained by you.
[00:26:50] Speak, Lord, in Jesus name we pray. Amen. Amen.
[00:26:54] Today, we'll talk about the glory.
[00:26:59] Now, I mean, God's glory.
[00:27:01] the essence of the church old or new testament it would still mean the same thing that the assembly of God or the people of God is what it really means is God's presence or God's glory
[00:27:21] and to prove it or to give validity to it many of the scriptures in the bible many of them I'm just going to name a few of them to talk about his glory and the fact that we sing about
[00:27:39] God's glory. But let me define what glory is first. Glory simply means, the way it's the Hebrew definition is the weightedness of God, or I call it the sum total of the being of God. He wanted to fill the house
[00:27:59] with his presence. We'll be clear about that.
[00:28:04] that's the ultimate objective God desires to fill the house with his presence you find the old and new testament and I may well say it now when we do things out of order God will
[00:28:30] leave the house he'll take his presence out and leave us to our own devices to do what we choose to do that's why the subject is uh when the church become his house uh prior to Solomon
[00:28:49] dedicating the house of God see with just another building so we dedicated unto the Lord for a reason and we consecrated in his name so now that means the church is no longer what we want
[00:29:04] but it's God's house I wish somebody hear me right now huh that means it's God's house not for us to do what we want but only that which God has ordained and there's a difference in the
[00:29:18] two so if it's God's house look like I should want to know from God what he wants done in his house since it is his house hear me good on that now and so that means we have to seek the scriptures
[00:29:34] to find out what it is that should happen in God's house and what God is desirous of to happen in his house.
[00:29:47] All through the Bible.
[00:29:49] Let me go back to Genesis.
[00:29:50] When God made us, we were made for his presence.
[00:29:54] Not a visitation, but a dwelling place.
[00:29:58] And God makes it clear throughout the Bible that I am no dwelling place.
[00:30:04] not a visiting place even in the great commission when he said going to all the world he said and lord i will be with you even to the end of the age in other words god is saying you can't make
[00:30:18] it without me i mean existence he mean that the spiritual life that and the church that you cannot do it you will not do it without my presence to make the church the church otherwise the church
[00:30:37] there's just another social club.
[00:30:39] It's no better than a rotary club or some other club out there.
[00:30:44] But when we have the glory of God in the house, that separates the church from the rest of the world.
[00:30:49] And that's what God is seeking.
[00:30:51] So let's look at a few scriptures.
[00:30:57] When Jesus was born, the Bible makes it clear that the angel of the Lord, they came and appeared to the shepherds.
[00:31:05] And there's a glory to God in the highest.
[00:31:08] peace and goodwill to all people are y'all hearing church no there was a glory to god in the highest uh when moses wanted to see the face of god god said moses i can't let you see my face
[00:31:24] and paraphrase that in your sinful state though you shall die but what i will do i'll let you see my hind part i'll let you see my back part and then even at that god had to hide moses in
[00:31:38] the rock that we believe was symbolic of christ whether you can only see my glory except you are in the rock whether if i'm not in christ i cannot see the glory of god so the whole essence of the
[00:31:55] church is that the world will see the glory of god and not interested in anything else at all in the house this is what's important church the glory of the lord i'm not talking about just doing
[00:32:15] church to be doing church we're dealing with the glory of the lord amen somebody and then in isaiah uh the sixth chapter in verse three when isaiah said when king uzziah died i also saw the lord
[00:32:28] and the bible said holy holy holy is the lord god of hosts the whole earth is full of his what glory god speaks up the glory of god everything they cannot duplicate that's what you know
[00:33:06] everything okay let's take Moses and the magicians when God told Moses to go to Pharaoh do you know the miracle that Moses performed they also performed huh amen somebody everything that Moses did they did it also
[00:33:28] huh everything all the miracles except the last one the first one but all the other nine they did exact same thing or even a serpent they took the rod they made that's a serpent too amen somebody so you
[00:33:42] can't go by that that's what get most church folks right there see the difference is you find no one appears and God appears that's how you know he's there so again I call it the sum total of his
[00:34:04] being huh this is what happened when they built the tabernacle hmm now I mean Exodus 40 when they built the tabernacle the glory of the lord filled the house amen somebody amen and likewise when
[00:34:22] they built the temple the same thing happened the glory of the lord happened i this is just my thing i i believe that and and even in uh that's just 42 when they built the tabernacle right there
[00:34:36] the priest couldn't get inside huh and when they built the tabernacle the priest couldn't get inside. Because the glory of the Lord filled the house. So I believe God is saying, the only way you can get in my
[00:34:48] temple, you got to be in me.
[00:34:50] I wish somebody would hear me this morning.
[00:34:52] The only way you can get in, if you are in me. Other than that, you cannot enter my presence. Pay attention to this text. 2 Chronicles the 7th chapter.
[00:35:07] When they had built it, and Solomon had prayed.
[00:35:12] Oh, I don't have time. We got to talk about that. Church prayer, Let me just go ahead and get into it.
[00:35:17] Let me sing a couple of songs that we sing too.
[00:35:19] There are other scriptures, but let me just, we sing about it.
[00:35:22] Don't we sing glory be to the Father and to the Holy Ghost?
[00:35:26] Huh?
[00:35:26] Am I right, somebody?
[00:35:28] Amen.
[00:35:28] We say glory be what?
[00:35:30] To the Father.
[00:35:31] And in the beginning, is, now, by the church, God is in the house.
[00:35:56] I see how well we say amen.
[00:36:04] Church is made to honor the glory of God.
[00:36:10] What else we do, it doesn't matter.
[00:36:12] it can't change the world it's just like the world but the glory of god makes all the difference in the world and it's separated from all other institutions we sing the song jesus keep me
[00:36:25] near the cross don't we say in the cross be my glory huh and we say uh worship him give god the give god the glory and give god the praise am i right and then we have another song we say to god
[00:36:42] be the glory y'all let me know when i'm wrong huh and then the battle hymn of the republic says mine eyes have seen the glory of the lord huh amen somebody all many songs we sing got glory of god
[00:36:56] in it because they understood back then when they wrote these songs that the song is no real song without the glory of god being in it and god has come to dwell among us and end up in fact we said
[00:37:09] And Matthew, the fifth chapter, let your light so shine before men that they may see your good works and glorify the Father.
[00:37:34] This may be a sad point, but let me just say it anyway.
[00:37:39] The temple, tabernacle, or the church, or the people, you think God is interested in this building ultimately?
[00:37:54] No.
[00:37:56] It's us.
[00:38:00] People put more emphasis on the building than people.
[00:38:03] I'm not saying Seals Creek, not really, I'm not.
[00:38:05] I'm just saying in general, we put more emphasis on the building than the people.
[00:38:11] We become the tabernacle of God.
[00:38:14] We become the spiritual house of God that God desires to dwell in.
[00:38:20] But God won't dwell in us and in the midst of us if there's chaos and fighting and bickering and all that kind of stuff among us.
[00:38:29] He always goes to clean up the house first.
[00:38:31] Get your act together first.
[00:38:32] love one another first support one another first that's why on the day of Pentecost and they saw a meeting together they pray they worship together they did things together they shared what they had and guess what the power
[00:38:47] of God was there because they became the church themselves the people are the church yes we keep the house in order but that's not what Jesus died for let mean, now, to get along and build a house, that's where the work
[00:39:07] is.
[00:39:09] Another way of saying the same thing was to become one.
[00:39:14] Now, that's the fight.
[00:39:16] If husband and wife have a problem becoming one, I mean, not nobody here.
[00:39:20] I know all y'all marriage is perfect.
[00:39:23] But if husband and wife have a problem, or a challenge I should say, becoming one, what do you think the challenge is going to be if you put all of us together? Come on now.
[00:39:39] Y'all talk back to me.
[00:39:41] See, that's the real work.
[00:39:44] See, people think work is doing things, tasks, doing stuff.
[00:39:50] And if I'm not one with the church, God would rather me not do anything in his house.
[00:39:55] Amen, somebody.
[00:39:57] See, that's what builds a house.
[00:40:00] See, God is about one.
[00:40:02] Out of one blood, God made all of us to dwell upon the face of the earth.
[00:40:07] God didn't make 50 E's and Adams.
[00:40:11] He made one, and from Adam and Eve, God populated the whole earth.
[00:40:18] I know people ask, well, what about the people in Nile?
[00:40:21] Church, it's simple.
[00:40:23] The man lived 930 years, huh?
[00:40:28] The world, they populated the world by that time.
[00:40:33] Let me live, okay, I'm better not say that.
[00:40:38] Brother's saying, Lord, let me live 930 years, and all things are working well.
[00:40:44] Don't get too holy on me.
[00:40:46] amen somebody and y'all are populated too amen somebody but but i'm just trying to make a point so let me just get into this for now i'm not gonna well so then the glory of god comes when
[00:41:03] god's presence is in the house that's we just finished saying that's what god really wants to dwell among us and in us and to work through us see we don't do the work god does the work
[00:41:19] amen i know i'm right about it that's why god see god you use his human agency now don't get like some folks super spiritual you know well see i just praise i just do what god want me to do
[00:41:31] forget man listen that's an excuse to disobey now you show me where god does not work through human agency and one of my favorite examples is the lord told moses uh he said i i have seen
[00:41:46] the misery of my people meaning Israel while they was in Egypt and I have come down to rescue them from the hands of the Amorites and Jebusites and all the other rites and bites but then it not so
[00:42:00] verse 7 verse 10 he flipped the script and says to Moses now you go now wait a minute I thought God said he had come down go back in the old day when you were growing up and tell your mom and daddy
[00:42:21] I don't have to obey you I just obey God. That's why I said the old day, because the old day may not do anything, you know.
[00:42:31] But go back to the old day and say that.
[00:42:34] Huh? When you was a teenager or a child, and say, I just obey God. I don't have to do what you say.
[00:42:41] Come on now, huh?
[00:42:42] I guarantee you, you wouldn't be alive today.
[00:42:47] You know I'm telling the truth.
[00:42:50] So that's what Satan wants us to think. There's spiritual authority. I don't have time to get into that.
[00:42:54] You know, but, you know, we got to understand God works through people. Amen, somebody.
[00:43:03] And I'm not trying to get into, but I can tell you right there, watch this.
[00:43:07] Jesus had to become, Jesus had to become a man, a man, human being, just like us in order to do the work of God's kingdom.
[00:43:19] I'm not making that up. Let me say, the Bible says he became a man just like us. And part of it, we don't like to hear, and he were tempted in every way just as we are. Hebrews 4 and 5 chapter. I'm not telling you something
[00:43:40] strange. All this mess we put out there is wrong. Come on somebody, huh? Be tempted. Anyway, no offense. I know I used this illustration before. You cannot tempt me with chitlins. You can fry them, barbecue them. You can smother them. You can make a chitlin casserole, a chitlin pot pie.
[00:44:39] A chitlin cobbler?
[00:44:42] I don't care.
[00:44:44] I don't want it.
[00:44:45] I'm not tempted by it.
[00:44:47] In other words, to be tempted has to mean that there's something about it that you want.
[00:44:52] Come on.
[00:44:53] I know we don't want to talk about that.
[00:44:56] I know it sounds strange.
[00:44:58] I didn't write it.
[00:45:02] And that's what God told Moses.
[00:45:06] He would raise right there a leader from among you.
[00:45:09] Huh?
[00:45:13] Find somebody among you.
[00:45:15] man sin so he had to have a man to redeem man hey church okay move on i have to let that simmer for a while let me go and conclude so you see it about the uh uh when when when not let me but
[00:45:34] okay so yeah so the presence of god came into the temple all right the scripture we read and it said fill the house because that's what it's about and the priest couldn't get in there
[00:45:48] no nobody else could enter because the presence of god had filled the house i'm telling you what god wants that's his desire he wants his presence to always be at his house huh so when anybody come see it should be like in the old days you didn't have to lock the church
[00:46:11] dr william growing up way back we we never locked the house except we were going out of town and then church so guess what so help me god we were advertised when we were gone i'm telling
[00:46:29] you only god truth we would take a chair and turn it up against the wall like that if you saw that that means that they are not at home you're not hearing what i'm saying we advertise what i'm
[00:46:47] saying is we want the church to get back to the day we don't like the church anymore when somebody He needs to come into the house of the Lord and have a little talk with Jesus.
[00:47:00] That's what he's trying to get the church back to.
[00:47:05] You don't like it nowadays.
[00:47:07] They'll take the whole church and be gone.
[00:47:11] They're going to move the whole church.
[00:47:14] Amen.
[00:47:15] Took the bricks and grass and everything, all the topsoil.
[00:47:18] Everything be gone.
[00:47:19] The trees, everything.
[00:47:22] And you have to do what you have to do until.
[00:47:24] I got it.
[00:47:26] And I'm not opposed to it.
[00:47:27] what I'm saying is really the church should never have to be locked never ever there ought to be because the mystique and mysterious presence of God is here God because God's house he want to
[00:47:44] open 24 sevens amen y'all because again we don't know who needs to be in the house of a word from the Lord who need to come into his presence and that's what God really want
[00:47:57] but let me go on So now, first of all, Solomon had already prayed the dedicatory prayer, but then God answered Solomon and to read later on in the chapter and the Lord made it clear, I will
[00:48:10] put my eyes there and my ears there and they will always be attentive to the house or to the prayers offered in this house.
[00:48:21] What God is saying is that my house is a house of prayer and I don't care what the world tell you that his house is his word says there's a house of prayer and the main thing God want
[00:48:36] going on in his house is prayer because prayer is all inclusive prayer let's worship I can do what we call today worship and never pray but I can't pray sincerely and don't worship but what does Satan don't want us to do not us but what people afraid to do
[00:49:05] pray. But it's what God called you to do.
[00:49:13] We call, and we're part of sometimes the leaders responsible, because we have people, you see me grab my iPad, that means I think I'm through.
[00:49:23] I said, I think I'm through.
[00:49:25] They're even coming out here.
[00:49:29] But sometimes we go by how people sound.
[00:49:36] So and so should know how to pray.
[00:49:40] What you going to do about Hannah, whose lips who was moving, but no worries were coming out.
[00:49:48] Come on, somebody.
[00:49:49] And even Levi, Eli thought she was drunk, the priest.
[00:49:53] He said, girl, you need to leave that Jack Daniels alone.
[00:49:57] I told you.
[00:49:59] I mean, that's what he was saying to her.
[00:50:02] You need that Jack Daniels. I told you to leave that movie shot alone. Girl, how long are you going to be doing this stuff? She said, I'm not drunk.
[00:50:08] Talk with Jesus.
[00:50:17] And she prayed to get him back to you.
[00:50:26] You know the story.
[00:50:27] And God gave her a son, Samuel, which is what we call one of the most noblest men in all the scripture.
[00:50:37] Samuel, by the only one I know of that can stand before all the people and say, but when he retired, if anybody can name anything I've done wrong, speak now.
[00:50:48] Don't try it.
[00:50:50] You'll catch it one day.
[00:50:55] And so sure enough, when he became one year old, she weaned him and brought him to the temple.
[00:51:02] because that was her promise to God.
[00:51:06] Samuel grew up to be a mighty man of God.
[00:51:10] He had some issues.
[00:51:11] We all do.
[00:51:12] I would listen sometimes.
[00:51:13] Yeah, I got to keep up with what's going on.
[00:51:15] I listen to people be on social media.
[00:51:17] Boy, it's ridiculous what people say they want and ask for.
[00:51:21] Amen.
[00:51:21] Men and women, both of them jacked up.
[00:51:25] I'm just serious.
[00:51:26] You're delusional.
[00:51:28] I mean, want a 20-year-old man to make $200,000 a year.
[00:51:31] How often are you going to find that?
[00:51:33] I mean really y'all talk back to me and did people really looking for that they're looking for a finished product one man asked one lady what do you bring to the table she said I am the table
[00:51:47] okay you leave her alone huh I mean really you know I mean me and be doing some craziness to all of them you know amen so I'm gonna get up and walk from the dinner date you didn't hear what I
[00:52:03] said well let me just close out but the thing about the lord said prayer and don't forget my house shall be called a house of prayer because when you pray you honor me as the father
[00:52:26] the creator you give reference to my name when you say hallelujah is your name church that's worship. Let me put it this way.
[00:52:40] This is the one that God gave to me all ours. See, can I remember them?
[00:52:45] First of all, this implies a relationship.
[00:52:50] Reverend, thy kingdom come.
[00:52:56] Pray for something that's impossible. Be like heaven.
[00:53:22] You know that's what it was in the beginning, right?
[00:53:25] Earth is a copy of heaven.
[00:53:29] Only thing God did was took heaven and Xeroxed it. He said, now this is earth.
[00:53:36] but the same principles apply you've heard me teach this before do you know why the church is set up a certain way because heaven is set up a certain way and this furniture not just for
[00:53:50] decoration church it is it's for the ministries of the church honestly god that's what it's for it's to remind us of what the church the ministry of the church is all about you know i just say
[00:54:03] to people if i lay i'm not going to do it because people die right now i have to call the funeral home if i lay on top of this altar tell me most church folk won't die right now now how can the
[00:54:20] consecrated be greater than the consecrate tar don't talk back to me you most church for the die but that's what it's for huh it's symbolic of the fact that i'm delaying my life altar is your own on the altar laid y'all know that song because you can only maybe mix it up but
[00:54:50] You get it. Peace and sweet rest as you were. Give to him your all.
[00:54:57] But what God wants is my life to be on this altar.
[00:55:01] Somebody got the fact that God I give my all. That's why we said earlier, worship is giving myself unto God not my stuff.
[00:55:13] That's what God wants you.
[00:55:17] God, he would not take it.
[00:55:19] You know, communion tape reminds us of the sacrifice the suffering and sacrifice of Christ I wish somebody would hear me right now I'm going to give my life to Christ the word of God come on
[00:55:38] baptismal font the ministry is about about Christ and that's a baptismal covenant most folks don't even know what it is I'm not talking about Seals Creek now it's for a reason and that's why Moses was warned
[00:56:05] moses you better not mess it up hebrews 8 and 5 the fifth chapter because this sanctuary is made like the sanctuary in heaven is not where we want stuff but it's symbolic of and god operates the
[00:56:24] house that's why word comes from up here so pray hannah prayed for a child daniel was a praying man and God protected him from the lions.
[00:56:48] Amen, somebody.
[00:56:49] All of us have lions after us from time to time.
[00:56:53] Time to the virus.
[00:56:56] But when you pray, you got God's protection on you.
[00:57:02] In fact, the Bible says your life is hidden in God.
[00:57:07] You don't have to worry about people trying to take your life because they can't get to it.
[00:57:13] You missed that because they don't know where it is.
[00:57:15] It's hidden.
[00:57:17] God's got you.
[00:57:18] Thank you, brother.
[00:57:19] I said, God's got you.
[00:57:21] When Paul and Silas was in jail, what did they do?
[00:57:27] They prayed and sung songs, and God delivered them.
[00:57:31] Church is about praying.
[00:57:33] The church better get back to praying.
[00:57:36] Wow, because we live in a crazy, jacked-up world.
[00:57:38] And you know we live in a crazy world.
[00:57:41] We know it.
[00:57:43] Don't tell them what's going to happen in this nation.
[00:57:45] and don't put it past people trying to take us back. Some really don't. Get rid of DEI and get rid of the what they call the deport people from this country that will force us to go back
[00:58:03] and work their farm. There are some calling for the president to make us work their farms. You hear what I'm saying church?
[00:58:14] Huh? We're going to learn to pray as a people and call on the name of the Lord but the king used to say maybe God has called the black man to save the soul of this nation
[00:58:29] to call on God but to let God hear our prayers and save this nation from all the crazy stuff that's going on in this world illegal wars take what I want somebody got to call it out church
[00:58:46] huh you better hear we need to call on the Lord for his divine intervention that's not talking about the fact that God want us to heal and deliver because people are hurting in this world
[00:59:01] he counting on the church to be the power source that deliver them from their sickness and disease and others state of mind close it out there church become God's house that's what he wants his house
[00:59:22] not my house not your house it's not what i want seals creek to do is what god wants seals creek still or any other church for that matter it's not what we want because this is his house amen and i assume
[00:59:39] at your house you get to decide right you won't let somebody just come in your house and tell you how to run it okay then god feel the same way this is my house amen you know y'all don't have
[00:59:52] folks in your house saying, well, you need to put stuff. Well, if I were you, I'd put this over there. Who asking you?
[01:00:00] If I want to sit on my best couch on the porch, that's my business.
[01:00:05] I'm being real, church.
[01:00:07] People like to tell other folks what to do.
[01:00:09] I told you what the problem is.
[01:00:11] The first four commandments about giving honor with God. The other four about least stay out of the other four business.
[01:00:19] Or the six.
[01:00:24] Really.
[01:00:25] Can you mind your own business?
[01:00:28] So I'll come to find out some folks maybe don't have any business.
[01:00:32] So maybe they need to loan them some of yours.
[01:00:35] I don't know.
[01:00:36] We'll close it out there at church.
[01:00:37] But this is serious stuff.
[01:00:39] Because, yes, I do have a passion for the church being what God wants the church to be.
[01:00:44] And not for people to become complacent and satisfied with where the church is.
[01:00:50] Rather than the power of God being evidence in his house.
[01:00:55] So there's no mistake about it.
[01:00:58] This is his house.
[01:00:59] amen somebody y'all say amen i'll be through amen that's you don't you want me to go on i can tell you but this is serious stuff and i take it very very serious i measure the ministry by not what
[01:01:13] people say but what god said it should be amen amen amen y'all know you're not really saying amen say amen okay i'll take our that's all right so the invitation is extended to receive Jesus as your Lord
[01:01:34] and personal Savior.
[01:01:37] It all starts there.
[01:01:43] Christ wants to come into every heart and every mind.
[01:01:47] He wants to occupy His presence because He has promised to dwell in each and every one of us.
[01:01:55] That's really what He wants.
[01:01:58] And I don't know about you, but the most miserable feeling in the world is not being sure that God is with you.
[01:02:06] And you're by yourself.
[01:02:07] If you're used to being in his presence, if you don't feel his presence, you get scared.
[01:02:11] You shouldn't get scared.
[01:02:13] And I know I do.
[01:02:14] Honest to God, I tremble because it's his presence that matters.
[01:02:18] Amen, somebody.
[01:02:20] When God is with me, I know it's going to be all right.
[01:02:26] Anyone want to accept Christ as their Lord and their Savior, unite with this church fellowship, or rededicate their lives, this is your moment.
[01:02:34] Those that may be watching virtually, put your name in the chat.
[01:02:39] Amen.

[01:07:28] All right.
[01:07:29] Thank you.

[01:07:30] [SPEAKER SPEAKER_02]
[01:07:30] Okay, thank you.
[01:07:36] All right, thank you very much, Doctor.

[01:07:44] [SPEAKER SPEAKER_03]
[01:07:44] Today is Global Mission Sunday, so I'm not going to ask anything.
[01:07:48] But on this day, normally what it's really for is to ask for money or offering to support the global mission work.
[01:07:58] Last April, this past April, we were not blessed to go on a mission, medical mission in Liberia.
[01:08:06] and we're talking about people that never seen a doctor or dentist we're talking about people who still die from the lack of dialysis facilities which you know it's inexcusable in this day in the world and they got very few in the
[01:08:23] whole country of Liberia and it was a marvelous experience so we send those money and I work with dr. cannon in his office and I know firsthand or the work they do plus I've seen a lot of it with my wife and I both have seen a lot of it
[01:08:39] with our own eyes you know a scripture I'm going to read before you so you know I'm not making this up then I promise we gonna not even explain it but he wrote the fourth chapter verse 14 and then just a few verses in verses 5 therefore
[01:08:57] since we have a great high priest who is ascended into the heavens Jesus the Son of god let us hold firmly to the faith we possess now watch this but we do not have a high priest
[01:09:08] who is unable to empathize with our weaknesses but we have one who has been tempted in every way just as we are y'all here in church all right and then it goes on to say some other thing but then
[01:09:21] the fifth chapter verse one say every high priest is selected from among the people who is appointed to represent the people and matters related to God to offer gifts and sacrifices.
[01:09:33] Now watch this, verse 2.
[01:09:35] He is able to deal gently with those who are ignorant and are going astray since he himself is subject to weaknesses.
[01:09:43] This is why he had to offer sacrifices for his own sin as well as for the sins of the people.
[01:09:50] And no one take this on upon himself, but he received it as called by God.
[01:09:54] so it just says in the same way Jesus Christ did not take the glory of becoming a high priest but it says some other thing like that and it's just making the case for why
[01:10:04] Jesus is the high priest I don't have time to give a further explanation what I'm trying to say is there was a purpose when he said he was made man to understand that in church
[01:10:16] we really have a hard time dealing with that I've seen it all in my pastoral ministry I don't know why I really don't because the word says it to me it ought to be simple but the word says he was made man what's the problem no i'm serious
[01:10:34] what's the problem but church folk don't see we rejected you rejected who jesus really is he was made just like we are why do you think he was born of mary born of a woman i know come on
[01:10:52] okay let me stop was he born of a woman did not god promise that that we shall be saved through don't want through the woman giving a child what's the issue somebody tell me after church why do
[01:11:11] church folks church folks have a hard time dealing with this text i really want to know because i swear i don't get it i don't get it because the word says it that's what i'm trying
[01:11:26] to say if i do i believe god's word okay then what's the problem i don't have to understand it stop trying to understand you listen you don't have to it's accepting truth first then understanding come later but the church make mistake and try to understand it's by faith
[01:11:41] we we accept god's word come on somebody huh by faith then understanding come but if i'm trying to understand and then accept a chance or i'll never accept it because i'll never understand it it's by faith y'all never know if i'm wrong huh i didn't tell you about your face you know
[01:12:01] your face to tell me everything huh amen you think i'm lying your face tells everything churches both have a hard time dealing with it I mean okay but I really don't understand why when the word says that's all
