Vision Sunday 2026 - Built 4 More

I want to Uh, I want to get started just

by I kind of feel that that that famous quote,

that famous line from Charles Dickens kind of applies to

last year. It was the it was the best of times,

and it was the worst of times. I'm going to

share with you so many amazing things that happened over

the last year, but we also saw so much loss

over the last year as well.

It was just a hard year.

It seemed like so many people that I loved, that

were so close to my heart we lost last year.

And and I know you feel the same way. And

as we as we remember all of the great things

that happened, also remember that all of these great things

happen in spite of a lot of bad things happening. Amen,

that God was able to persevere and shine through those

things and outshine those things. And I'm just so grateful

that even when even when we get when we find

ourselves in a place of herd or loss, it doesn't

mean that God is not good and that he's not

still working, and that he's not still alive and well,

and that he's not still impacting lives and.

Families and community. Amen. So I want to start, I

want to start with a.

Number in twenty twenty five, the total giving for twenty

twenty five. This just blows me away as this number

came in. Your generosity created four hundred and twelve dollars,

not out four hundred and twelve dollars, I'm sorry. Four

hundred twelve thousand, two hundred and seventy three dollars and

thirty nine cents was your generosity over last year.

What a what an amazing thing.

And then we were able to contribute to missions sixty

two thousand, six hundred two dollars and forty seven cents.

What an amazing feat.

You know, there's a there's a lot of churches that

struggled just to keep the lights on, that struggled just to.

Make a way.

But I believe one of the reasons that God blesses

us and has blessed us is because of the spirit

of generosity that's in this house. And that's a testimony

sixty two thousand dollars that we sowed away from ourselves

into the community and into the world to make a

difference in people's lives, because, after all, Jesus called us

to build people.

Not buildings.

I hope you hear that theme a lot this year.

God has called us to build people, and I think

that as we roll out the vision, you're going to

see that it's a lot less centered on things and

a lot more centered on people.

But that's not all. Let's talk about the food bank.

Let's talk about what happened in the food bank at Cornerstone.

We gave away thirty seven tons of food.

And if you asked.

Dean, he moved every pound of it at least three times,

all by hisself, three thirty seven tons.

And listen, we fed this number.

This how many people we fed last in twenty twenty five. Now,

that's how many people we fed through the food bank,

not counting the other stuff we did.

With food, we fed.

Eight thousand, eight hundred and thirty six people, almost nine

thousand people. Your generosity made a way for them to

be able to have the basic needs met of food.

What a testimony of this church and what a group

of people. And Tina, thank you so much for your

leadership in leading that. And uh and listen, Tina sent

me an email with everything in it and she named

all that and she said, but I'm sure I'm forgetting some.

So that's not why I'm gonna I'm not gonna talk

about anybody else, s ayman, because I'm gonna forget somebody.

So think you know who you are if you made

this happen.

And outside contributions and UH, and we were also able

to break and now listen, we were able to break

ground in twenty twenty five on our walk in cooler

and freezer and it is going to be finished quickly

now that we're through the holidays and have that up

out of the ground and fully functional.

So we're really.

Excited about that as well, which is gonna allow us

to serve even more families.

It's gonna position us to.

Be able to UH to possibly be able to have

other locations where we can feed people because here's the reality.

If people don't have enough money to buy groceries, they

often don't have enough gas to get here to pick

food up. So if we can get closer to them,

then we'll be able to help and make an impact

in more people's lives.

Amen.

And you know, and as far as community outreach, that's

a huge community outreach, but we also do other things

in community outreach, especially with our school system, and we

were able to we're partners in education with with two

of our schools, South Hall south Hall Middle School.

We actually got.

This cool little framed appreciation letter from them for being

a gold spot on what that means a gold sponsor,

But we're a goal sponsor and what we were able

to do at South Hall is a couple of different

times this year with with Patty and Lewis helping us

out and doing all helping us out.

They did it. I just showed up and smile. Amen.

That's basically the way that works is when they're involved.

We were able to feed all the teachers and all

the staff and all the faculty a couple of different

times in this last calendar year, and we're so appreciative

for that opportunity and being able to partner with our schools.

And then we were able to do the.

Same thing down at our new elementary school just down

the road here it ever would and we're also a

partner in education with them, But we didn't get a plaque.

But that's okay, because that's not why we do it.

Amen.

Listen, when used to when I was a youth pastor,

we had this thing called Speed the Light, and it's

about resourcing missionaries, about giving them.

Materials that they need in order to succeed. And every

year they would have a banquet and if you gave.

A thousand dollars or more, you got a golf shirt

as a prize for get.

And then you know, it was a big ceremony.

They feed us all this expensive food and give us

these golf shirts and uh, and they're like, you know,

what can we do? What can we do to raise

more money? To get more money on the mission field?

And I said, hey, hey, I know I got a

great idea. Stop doing the banquet and buying the golf

show shirts. Stop feeding everybody's steak and buying these dumb

golf shirts that nobody wears. Come on, somebody, a lie,

I'm not wearing a lime green You know how big

I would look with a lime green golf shirt on

that's shiny.

I would look like a giant fish and lure. Amen.

But I.

Said, just stop doing those because that's just how I am.

That's just how I am.

I believe that the biggest difference we can make is

investing in people in tangible, felt need things. Now, somebody

doesn't have a shirt. A golf shirt is a great opportunity.

But if people need food. A baloney sandwich says a

whole lot. Amen, and listen this ministry, that the food

bank ministry, that the outreach ministry has become very contagious.

And I've watched so many of you grab hold of

the vision of making an impact in our community. And

our goal is to make a bigger impact in our

community this year, is to be able to do more

than we've ever done in our community. And we are

working on some things that we just can't that I

can't talk about just because they're not close enough, and

I don't want you to be disappointed if they don't materialize.

But hopefully we're going to be able to do something

really big around Eastern that will make a huge impact

in our community, not just in our church, but in

our community.

And I'm excited about that as well.

But let's keep talking about all the good things that

have happened.

Engage.

Engage is one of those pivotal tools that we have

in our four Things. Engage is where you go and

you find out a deep understanding of those four things

and also where you can begin to discover a little

bit more about how God created you and what He

created you for to be.

Able to tap into purpose.

And over the last calendar year, we had forty one

people that went through Module three of Engage. Now a

lot more people went through one and two, because Module

three is not something that is mandatory, you don't have

to go through that. So a lot of people went

through Engage, and we had forty one people.

Is that right?

Forty one people that went through Module three of Engage.

And I sat down and I talked to them about

their spiritual gifts and their personality and kind of what

that means, and pointed towards teams and did all those things.

That means almost.

One personal listen, that means almost one person a week

in twenty twenty five, was not just visiting Cornerstone Tabernacle,

but came here, saw the vision, got excited about what

God was doing his presence here, and said, I want

to be part of what God's doing.

How do I get more involved? Almost one a week.

That's pretty powerful, man, that's pretty powerful. That number forty

That number is actually a lot higher than that, But

I don't have any way of knowing that because that

was a failure on my part of not keeping better records.

Amen.

But Pastor Clay said I'm going to be much better

at that this year. Here's another exciting one, baptisms. We

baptized almost three times as many people in twenty twenty

five as we did in twenty twenty four.

Three times.

That's the Lord really doing work and doing something in

our mist and it's an exciting thing.

To be a part of.

And then we also launched and had thirty total groups

in twenty twenty five. Thirty groups operating right here in

our body in twenty twenty five to bring connectiveness, to

help people learn to walk in freedom, that same freedom

that they find and they experience God and the Altar,

to be able to extend that by surrounding themselves with

a community of people in a support system that continue

to help us walk and maintain those experiences we have

with God. And if you haven't found a group, you

we got group Day coming up at the end of

the month. You need you need to get You're going

to get out what you put in. Come on somebody,

if you want the whole Cornerstone Tabernacle experience, you need

to jump into all that we offer. You need to

be involved in teams, you need to be involved in serving,

and you need to be involved in groups, and you

need to be involved in those gatherings when we come together,

and we do everything we can not to not to

burden you with too many gatherings and meetings, because we

want you to grow spiritually in your own home and

in your community as well, so we try not to

do that. But those things we feel are vitally important

to your spiritual growth, to belong to a team, to

be involved in a group, and to come experience God

corporately with us gathered together, and I promised that we're

going to continue to do everything we can to make

all of those things better and better every single week.

Amen. Amen.

I don't know about you, but that's a lot of

good stuff. What I started putting that together and looking

at it, I realized how special twenty twenty five really was.

And here's the reality.

I've looked at you so many times and I've said

that you're what makes our church great, and twenty twenty

five is proof of it, because it's one of the

best years we've had in ministry.

While I was probably at my worst.

What I did as poor of a job is leading

as I probably have done in twenty years of ministry.

God still showed up, and he worked through dedicated people

who love him and are excited about his work. And

it is an incredible honor to stand in front of

you as pastor, knowing that you made all of that happen,

that you did every one of those things, that I

had very little input on any of it. Because God

is alive and well and working in the people of

Cornerstone Tabernacle, and his heart is for our community, and

he's turning your heart towards our community, and I can't.

Wait to see what He does in you. In twenty

twenty six.

Let me read you a passage of Scripture Philippians, chapter four,

Starting in verse eleven, it says not that I speak

in regard to need, for I've learned in whatever state

I am, to be content. Underline that word content to

come back to it. I know how to be abased,

and I know how to abound everywhere and in all things.

I've learned both to be full and to be hungry,

both to abound and to suffer need. I can do

all things through Christ, who strengthens me. Father, we thank

you for your word. It's the only change agent we

have on the face of this planet. And I pray

that today we see the vision for our church and

our lives was such a crystal clear understanding that we

know that you are working and moving changes from the

inside out today in Jesus' name. Amen, see this word content.

When we read that word content in that passage of Scripture,

we over spiritualize that to the point that we make

it mean something that it doesn't mean. We think that

that means passivity, that that that you know, we just

take it as it comes and we roll with the punches.

Here's here's an absolute definition. This is what the word

actually means in the original language. It says an inner

state of satisfaction and sufficiency, not dependent on external conditions,

but knowing God provides, allowing one to be peaceful in

plenty or poverty, and not overwhelmed by circumstance. He says,

Here's here's what contentment means. It means not just that

we're staying where we are because this is all that

there is, but that we don't have to be overwhelmed

by the circumstances that we face. He said, Listen, I've

learned to trust God in a little or a lot.

I've learned to trust God no matter what's happening around me.

I've learned to be And the word that we use

there is content. I think if I was writing it,

I'm not. But if I was writing it, I would

probably use the word ready.

I would probably use the word ready.

I've learned to be ready in whatever condition I'm faced by.

I'm ready. If I have a little, I'm ready if

I have a lot.

I'm not distracted by the pressure of nothing, and I'm

not distracted by the joy of much. I'm just simply

understanding that where I am right now, in this moment

is just a point on the journey towards my purpose

and a complete understanding of who I am in Christ.

Because if we really thought Paul was.

Just saying, hey, just just hang out, everything is okay,

You're good right where you are, then it actually undo

undos it undoes it undos too. Probably it undoes what

he says in the previous chapter. So let's look at

Philippians chapter three. Starting in verse twelve, it says not

that I've already attained or am already perfected, but I

press on that I may lay hold of that for

which Christ Jesus has laid hold of me. So why

would Paul say, hey, just chill out and don't worry

about anything. Right after he says, hey, I'm pressing. I'm

pressing because there's more. I'm pressing because there's something ahead

of me. I'm pressing because this is not all there is.

He says, I press on that I may lay hold

of that for which Christ Jesus has also laid hold

of me. Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended,

but one thing I do forgetting those things which are

behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead.

All of the good things, all of those things that

we accomplished last year, were last year's anointing. All of

the things we celebrate were things that the Lord empowered

us to do last year in last year's anointing. And

we can sit in those things and be content about

those things. Listen, we can sit and we can talk

about how, hey, our church fed almost nine thousand people,

and we can still be saying that ten years from

now we can be looking back.

How many of you you ever run.

Into especially like those When I say old time, right,

I don't just mean old, I mean but you run

into those old time, especially Pentecostals that talk about the

good old days. I mean, you know what I'm talking about,

and we glorify Oh man, I remember when we used

to have church for four hours. I love church, but

you know I, y'all welcome to stay. I'm probably going

home and taking a nap.

Amen.

I believe the Lord can do it in ten minutes.

I believe that he can do it in a moment.

I believe he can do it.

In a second. But we always glorify the past.

We always look at that because we hang those things

as memorial storms, and we find our contentment in the

way things used to be, because it takes no effort

to create a better tomorrow if we're always looking at

how good things used to be, because they used to

be was probably built on somebody else's efforts, in somebody

else's shoulders.

I didn't really want to come and do that to.

Y'all today, but I just don't have a choice. We

look back and listen, we can be in twenty thirty

and we can say, hey, you remember back when we

fed we fed almost nine thousand people, and now in

twenty thirty, there's a one hundred thousand that are hungry.

All right, he remember when we were partners in education.

We fed all those teachers when now their salaries didn't

keep up with the cost of living, and they're hurting

worse than they've ever been, and they need to be

shown love and they need.

To show me.

Listen, do you know our teachers are stressed out? Every

teacher I talk to is stressed out because they are

so overwhelmed with busy work.

That they don't even have time to teach anymore.

And they're devalued, and they don't understand how good they

are because everybody tells them what they didn't do and

what they still need to do, and it's in a

never ending cycle of uncompleted tasks because it's impossible to complete.

But for somebody to show up with a taco.

And say, thank you for what you're doing for our kids,

thank you for shaping the next generation.

Thank you for.

Giving your time and your effort, for being overworked and underpaid.

Thank you so much for what you do. We cannot

rest on the fact that we used to do it.

We have to continue to press because there's more to do.

Here's what Paul is saying through this whole, through all

of his writings. This is what Paul is saying, he said, listen,

you're gonna be okay through what you're in right now,

but you are built for more.

You're built for more. This isn't all there is. There

is more.

God built you for something greater than the place you're

living in right now. I want to tell you that

through twenty twenty six, we're gonna help you realize that

you are built for more. We're built for more as

a corporate body, and you as individuals are built for more.

Your families are built for more, for more, peace for.

More, joy for more, love for more, understanding for more,

mercy for more, grace for more, finance for more.

Fill in the plank. You're built for more.

And I believe that God is paving a path and

showing us away to mobilize the Kingdom of God for

more in twenty twenty five. Now, this is not an

exact number, and here's why, because for some of you

may or may not know this. We don't count on

Sundays simply because a long time ago we did count

every Sunday and I would get that number and I

would go home and be depressed. I would go home

and I would worry about why was there six p

people less this week than there was.

The week before.

And then I would go home and I would get

the number, and I would say, oh, we got a

build a new building because we had ten people more

this week than we had last week. But then I

forgot that there was six people less than.

There was a week before. So we're just steady.

And the Lord spoke to me and he said, why

are you worried about numbers? Just worry about people.

Just focus on people. So we still don't count.

We don't count this number because what matters. Look at me,

everybody looking at me right here, because what.

Matters is not them.

What matters is you. You were what matters. If nobody else

showed up, it would be okay because you're here and

you are God's favorite, and everybody's laughing like ha ha

you are.

I don't know how he can not only y'all my favorite.

Some of my favorites are here today.

Well, not all y'all my favorite, the two for sure, Yeah,

I got my daughter's here. Two of my favorites are

for sure here today. But the reality is God has

the capacity.

For you to be his favorite.

He you're his favorite, each and every one of you

that he has the capacity to separate reality and see

only you, and his desire for your life is that

you would have everything he desires for you to have.

And it's more than where you are right now.

It's more for us as a community of believers and

as a body. And this number is just crazy. In

twenty twenty five, we have varience somewhere around twenty five

percent growth. Maybe that number done man as much y'all

as it did to me. I thought, Wow, what a number.

That's a huge number. If you're seeing twenty five percent

growth in any industry, in any business, that's a pretty

big deal. And it's because of the special things that

God is doing right here in our midst. You know,

I had up until up until the twenty first of December,

I had never baptized anyone.

Over the age of seventy. And we got to do that.

We got to do that.

Because God put people in somebody's life who showed the

love of Jesus, who made an invitation, and they show

rode up and had an experience with Jesus and found.

Belonging and every.

And the support that came around them, and they had

a life changing enchanter and encounter with the Lord, and

we got to baptize a seventy two year old and

an eleven year old at the same time. It shows

you the spectrum of what God is doing in our

midst twenty five percent growth, So that means one out

of every four people that come here are brand new

during twenty twenty five. One out of every four. That's

pretty amazing. And we don't see that slowing down. So

when you look right now, I mean, I know that

I hate it when Vision Sunday everybody has the flu

or is on vacation. But when you look around you

right now, there's plenty of room, but usually there's not.

So so we have to be strategic in what we're doing.

And so in twenty twenty five, we're going to, uh,

we're going to launch into an expansion. We're going to

now now listen, and we're going to expand the fourrier

and we're going to expand the seating capacity of the

sanctuary at the same time.

Now, I know all of y'all's your your your hind end.

Just where your billfol is just started getting warm, didn't it.

But we're not building anything new. We're just simply going

to reorder things. We're going to uh to do some.

Some prayerful.

Restructuring of things as we create more space as you

come into the Fourrier, and then we create a system

where we can reopen the balcony seating area so that

we can add the balcony back into seating because right

now the balcony is not usable because you can't see

over all of the volunteers that makes Sunday morning happen.

So we're going to be able to relocate all of

those volunteers back down to the floor, which is gonna

give you a much better sound experience. We're going to

be able to move that to the floor to be

able to reopen the balcony, which is going to create

about twenty five percent increase in seating space and then

give people more how many of you you've walked in

on Sunday and it's just a wall of people when

you walk in the door and you're like, I don't

even know if I can get in. We're going to

bring the Fourrier in this way just a little bit

to be able to create a little more space.

It's gonna be really nice.

And then that will also come with some audio visual

enhancements as well, because you know, this year, we've really

had a struggle with projectors and those kind of things

throughout the year, So we're going to be able to

upgrade our technology in some of those areas and also

be able to do things a little better from a

sound perspective when it comes to our kids plays and

all of those kind of things, as well as be

able to have some other very talented musicians on the

stage at the same time that can always be on

the stage together. So it's going to be a really

good enhancement. And here's the thing. For almost twenty years

I have been involved with Cornerstone, if you count the

time I was involved with Oakwaod Gospel Tabernacle before that,

before the merge, a lot more than twenty years.

I've always looked out.

To the community. It's always been about community first, and

we've never really done things for us. Come on, somebody,

We've never really done things to really upgrade our church experience.

And I believe that that was that.

Even though that is the message of the gospel is

to go into the highways and the byways, it's also

to celebrate and to show appreciation to the people that

are already part of the family of God that makes

those things possible. So this much needed upgrading experience for you.

I'm excited to be able to do that because I

believe you're really going to get a lot of benefit

out of it.

Amen. Amen.

So I'm done talking about us as the church now.

The only other thing I'm going to talk about programming

wise is that we're putting a much greater emphasis in

twenty twenty five on cross generational ministry. And what I

mean by that is we're going to bring better alignment.

What did I say, Don't tell me y'all hadn't done it,

that is shocking. Twenty twenty six is a cross generational ministry,

and what I mean by that is we're going to

bring better alignment from birth all the way through our

oldest segments of the congregation, so that we are all

on the same page every single week, so that when

we get home, we can engage our families in conversations

that make complete sense and become a seamless process of

spiritual growth for the entire family.

Amen. I wasn't really expecting y'all to clap right there.

Threw me off.

So we're gonna we're going to give a large focus

to kids ministry, a large focus to kids ministry in

building that because listen, y'all just keep having babies. You know,

y'all have babies faster, and y'all win people. To Jesus,

I'm I never seen anything like it. We should probably

add be fruitful and multiplies a core value here, I think,

because it's just being proved time and time again. But

and yet cales. Some of you all lead the way

more than others. But some people have children, some have litters.

I don't know, it's just uh, but now I'm carried away,

I'm distracted.

I got to get through it. I gotta get through it.

So so we we are doing that to equip you

to live a rhythm.

Of life that puts the focus.

Of spiritual enrichment back in homes and not in the

church building. The reason the home is not the epicenter

of spiritual growth anymore is because we have developed rhythms

of life that make it impossible for us to put

spiritual emphasis in our homes because we're so busy doing

everything and other things. And this is going to be

a set of practical tools that will help you organize

your family in spiritual growth. So it's going to be

a series of things that will happen from the stage,

will happen in kids, church, will happen in students that

will focus our thought process on gathering together as a

family and especially growing in an attitude of gratitude and gratefulness.

Because as we overcome the limiting beliefs that all of

us have, as we begin to smash those limiting beliefs

that say things like this, God does it for other people,

but he doesn't do it for me. There's not one

person in this room that hasn't said that before that

God does it for other people, but he won't do

it for me. As we overcome those limiting beliefs, as

we show gratitude towards God and we refocus on the

things that God is doing, we see an immediate increase

in the level of faith that spills out in our

homes and through the relationships that we're building. And we

want to equip you with practical tools. Look at me

that if you use them, that if you use them,

will revolutionize your spiritual walk and your spiritual journey.

I am more excited about.

Twenty twenty six than I have been about any year

in ministry, because every year I've stood up here and

given you a series of programs and a series of

events that were going to happen, to try to cause

something significant to happen in your life. But this year

it's a completely different thing. That God spoke to my

heart and it was really about, Hey, we want to

build you as people. We want to put spiritual gold

growth and spiritual ownership in your.

Hands so that you can get to know.

The Lord in a much deeper, better, more intimate way,

not just you as an individual, but your families and

your children and your extended workforce. That if you'll put

these tools into practice across the board, it will revolutionize

every single area of your life. Practical tools to reset

your home and make it the epicenter spiritual growth that's

our desire. Pastor Clay, you guys can come and get ready.

I want you. I want everybody here to know that

just because I say you're built for more doesn't mean

you believe it yet, because all of us have challenges.

But you're not. You're not defined by your past. You're

not befind you're not defined by the failures of your

past and the shortcomings and the insecurities.

Of your past.

You're not defined by broken relationships from your past. You're

not defined by loss. You're not defined by success. You're

not defined by gain. You're not defined by poverty or

a fluids. You're not defined by what you driver or

what you don't drive, or what you wear. You're not

defined by any of those things. When the Lord looks

at you, he sees those things as trivial and exterior things.

The apostle Paul said, Hey.

It doesn't matter what my outside looks like. I've learned

to be ready and know that God has more for me.

That I'm not defined just because somebody says.

I'm not much. It don't mean that I'm not much.

Because Jesus says I'm the head, and not to tell

that I'm above and.

Not beneath it.

Greater is me, that greater is he who is in me,

that he who is in the world, That I'm more

than a conqueror, That God is doing something so significant

in my life that it's going to spill out to

my family and to my job and to my workplace

and shatter the limitations I've always seen in my life.

Twenty twenty six will be the greatest year of increase

you have ever seen in those areas of your life

that you have struggled the most. You're gonna get free

from those addictions. You're gonna get free from that constant

pressure of not understanding finance and how it works against

you and for you. You're going to get over that

constant tension and pressure of those arguments in your home

and kids that just don't ever seem to be on

the same page.

I prophesy over you right now that the days ahead.

Will be some of the greatest you've ever experienced. That

if you can look past the shell of your current situation,

that there is life and life more abundant.

On the horizon.

That the moments of brokenness you've experienced in the past

are positioning.

You for abundance in the future.

That the hurt and the pain you've suffered is simply

a testimony to help other people get free and learn

to live through the pain and the pressure that you've

already experienced, creating.

That compassion that compels you to make a difference. This

is the moment where we put all of those things

behind us.

And look forward to what is ahead.

Because the apostle Paul says, I'm ready, and now that

I'm ready, I can press.

I can press towards the goal to achieve the prize, the.

High calling of Christ Jesus all my life, that little

taste you've had of the Lord expand and you'll see

them in everything around you. There'll be no more division

between secular and spiritual, but you'll see every moment pregnant with.

The possibility that Jesus is working the mirror.

You're built for more, more peace, more joy, more.

Worship, generosity, more.

Relationships, deeper, more loving relationships with your family, an expansion

of our understanding of God, Lord Jesus.

I pray right now that as we walk in this

new year, that built for.

More does not just become a slogan, a cool graphic

on a T shirt, but it becomes a mantra that

we all realize that we're where we are. To launch

us into what God has for us, or take our

doubts and our insecurities, cast them away, help us fully

embrace the journey you're calling us to. In Jesus' name. Amen,

everybody's standing to your feet all over the building. Our

alter team will come on down. If you're here today

you say, Pastor, I'm carrying so much hurt and so

much weight that I need him to set me free

from that so that I can start this journey you're

talking about. I need to be I need to be

free from the fear, from the insecurities that I have.

Need to be set free from the broken and the

hurt of the pain that I have. I want to

leave it all behind so that I can embrace tomorrow.

If that's you, in just a moment, I'm going to

count to.

Three, and I want you to know there's no shame

and there's no guilt in stepping out and responding to

an altar call like this.

The guilt and the shame is.

Staying where you are bound by those things, living in only.

A portion of what God has for you. It's on

the count of three.

If you're saying I'm ready to put things behind me,

I'm ready to put my old identity behind me, my fears,

my doubts, all of those things. I'm ready to walk

out of that and walk into new. On the count

of three, I want you to step out and come.

That's clear.

When I hit three, you guys, go.

One.

There's that little voice inside you right now, saying if

you step out, they're gonna talk about you.

Two. Don't wait to see if anybody else moves.

This is your moment to walk into freedom.

Three, step out and move right now. Come on, where

are you.

I'm ready to leave that hurt and that pain and

all of the weight, the insecurities, and my addictions and

my sickness and all of those things behind me.

And I'm ready to walk.

Into freshness and newness right here today. We're ready to

pray for you.

Come, Come, Come, you learn Coming God.
