  1. ***Music playing***

  2. We got the chance to build new things, new things of the new time.

  3. Now we will try to light the shine on whoever's around us.

  4. We need the power of the whole world to build what I believe.

  5. So I'll stand by and if it costs me anything, let it stand for what it's worth.

  6. So everyone can see, it's the same thing, it's the way what I believe.

  7. While we stay, we got the grace to work and we pray.

  8. And this love's life is meaning.

  9. That we've been in grace, we've been found the way.

  10. For lighting the way.

  11. For life to be the proof of the hope that if you know,

  12. you'll live what I believe.

  13. So I'll walk that line, if it costs me anything, let it stand for what it's worth.

  14. So everyone can see, it's the same thing, it's the way what I believe.

  15. There's a passion deep inside, to live what I believe.

  16. For my life is a test in front.

  17. I'll be with you, and the wind is with you.

  18. With faith and conviction.

  19. For all we've got in the name, it'll not be a shame.

  20. To live what I believe.

  21. So I'll walk that line, if it costs me anything, let it stand for what it's worth.

  22. So everyone can see, it's the same thing, it's the way what I believe.

  23. So I'll walk that line, if it costs me anything, let it stand for what it's worth.

  24. So everyone can see, it's the same thing, it's the way what I believe.

  25. If you chose our kitchen name on time, and all that's left to sing your praises.

  26. I'm so glad you're in my life.

  27. I'm so glad you came to save us.

  28. You came from heaven to earth.

  29. Come on up here.

  30. Alright, here we go.

  31. Alright, we're ready, go ahead.

  32. Alright, watch me so we can try to keep our heat.

  33. Alright, you can rotate through, okay?

  34. Alright, let's do this.

  35. Alright, let's do this.

  36. Alright, we're ready.

  37. Alright, let's go.

  38. Alright, we're ready.

  39. Alright, we're ready.

  40. I'll fly away, you're flowing.

  41. I'll fly away in the morning.

  42. When I die, I'll come to you.

  43. Fly away, I'll fly away.

  44. There's just a few more weary days ahead.

  45. I'll fly away.

  46. In the wild land where joy shall never end.

  47. I'll fly away.

  48. I'll fly away, you're flowing.

  49. I'll fly away in the morning.

  50. When I die, I'll come to you.

  51. Fly away, I'll fly away.

  52. Alright, next job, put this stuff back in your basket.

  53. Okay, next time, okay?

  54. Here we go.

  55. Here we go.

  56. Alright, so you're going to wrestle with technology behind you.

  57. And meanwhile, how's the Lord been speaking to you?

  58. Have you read your Bibles this week?

  59. What did God say?

  60. We just came off Thanksgiving, we talked a lot about being thankful.

  61. We had bread through service.

  62. Was it good?

  63. We're good.

  64. It was off.

  65. It was just off.

  66. That makes perfect sense.

  67. Brothers, Him being sick and nobody pushed the button, that makes perfect sense to me.

  68. So, God says to me and my spirit about that, sometimes when somebody is not available to do it, somebody else has got to do it.

  69. And that's the way it was with Jesus.

  70. Nobody was available to pay the price for sins, and so Jesus did.

  71. Praise God.

  72. Alright, what else?

  73. Okay.

  74. So, I've got lyrics for a video, I'm still putting it up, I can just say it real quick.

  75. I think it's really cool.

  76. I think I've played it before, but it's Francesca Benestili, who knows my name.

  77. But this is what it says, it's spent today in a conversation, in the mirror face to face with somebody less than perfect.

  78. I wouldn't choose me first if I was looking for a champion.

  79. In fact, I'd understand if you'd pick everyone before me.

  80. But that's just not my story.

  81. True to who you are, you saw my heart and made something out of nothing.

  82. And then it says, I don't need my name in lights, I'm famous in my Father's eyes, make no mistake, He knows my name.

  83. I'm not living for applause, I'm already so adored, it's all His stage, He knows my name.

  84. And then it says, I'm not meant to just stay quiet, I'm meant to be a lion.

  85. I'll roar beyond the song with every moment that I've got, and it's true to who you are, you saw my heart and made something out of nothing.

  86. And then at the end it says, He calls me chosen, free, forgiving, wanted child of the King.

  87. His forever, holding treasure, I am loved.

  88. So out of these lyrics I was just thinking about, we're very familiar with the Scriptures where it says that when a person repents, the angels rejoice.

  89. That moment that they repented, they turn to God through Jesus, they're coming home someday.

  90. But I was just thinking, do the angels just rejoice when they repent?

  91. No, I believe the angels even rejoice even more when we come home.

  92. Remember in the Prodigal Son, when the Prodigal Son that wasted His time, wasted His living, came back,

  93. He said, let's throw the biggest party that we've ever seen for my Son, for He has now returned.

  94. And it is about the Son coming home as well, but also someday coming home to eternity.

  95. And so I'm just encouraging us and all of us is that when we do come home, you know, no one is going to recognize us like God.

  96. Because everybody that sees us do something good, they're going to say, oh thank you for this.

  97. You did this because of this, because of your religion, because of why you did this, how you did this.

  98. But God knows why we do what we do, and God knows who we are.

  99. They're never going to see what we're doing for who we're doing it for.

  100. But that's when we come home, Jesus says, welcome home, good and faithful servant.

  101. And so there's some words in this that I just like to share.

  102. First thing, welcome home. Meaning you're home.

  103. We will fly away someday. We will be welcomed home and never have to leave that home again.

  104. And he said good and faithful servant.

  105. And the reason that he says servant is because he understands that everything you did, no matter how many times people say great job,

  106. they're not saying anything, they'll say thank you, whatever.

  107. But the idea is they didn't know behind the scenes that we were doing it for our Lord Jesus.

  108. We were doing it for who we are in Him.

  109. We were doing this because He's the one that gave us the strength.

  110. He's the one that gave us the joy.

  111. He's the one that paved the way for goodness, kindness, gentleness and faithfulness.

  112. He did it all first. And we're just following in His footsteps.

  113. And so he says good and faithful.

  114. And for those that I know me, I'm not always good and faithful.

  115. So why would God say good and faithful servant?

  116. Because in all actuality, it just means you think about it, when the Father sees us,

  117. He still sees His Son sacrifice in us.

  118. He sees the Lord Jesus that is the good and faithful Son.

  119. But we were serving the good and faithful servant.

  120. So the goodness and faithfulness that He sees in us is going to be a reminder of the good and faithfulness through the Lord Jesus

  121. so that we could almost be or even remain good and faithful.

  122. And I just encourage you and everybody that this world and all the things that we see,

  123. they're not always good and faithful.

  124. But doing the Lord's work, being who God called you to be,

  125. those things will be remembered and never forgotten.

  126. So carry on, Christians.

  127. Continue on that good fight of faith.

  128. That's what I love about that. He said it's a good fight.

  129. It's a good fight of faith.

  130. And it means that no matter what, after this fight is over, it will always be good.

  131. Alright, anything else?

  132. Okay, we're going to pray together.

  133. We're going to tie this in our hearts a little more worship.

  134. We're not going to mess with any more electronics.

  135. We've got all that's going to work that's going to work today, right?

  136. And then we'll worry about why the DVDs aren't all working.

  137. Between now and next week, they're all working on Christ.

  138. It's not working.

  139. It's my witness. They're all working.

  140. They're all working fine.

  141. So why? What changed?

  142. Maybe it's the weather or maybe it got a virus.

  143. Who knows?

  144. Alright, let's pray together.

  145. Father, thank you.

  146. You've blessed us in many ways as we give our tithes and offerings,

  147. as we serve you for a remainder of our time together.

  148. We ask that you take these efforts and make them glorify you.

  149. Lord, we thank you for that we are so blessed.

  150. Thank you.

  151. We're blessed that we got a big TV in the front of the room.

  152. Thank you.

  153. We're blessed that we got instruments and players to play.

  154. And Lord, that we can praise you not only with just a video that we sing along with

  155. or songs out of a hymn book, not that those things are bad,

  156. but Lord, we have so much more and you've blessed us

  157. and we just want you to use it to your glory and your honor and your praise.

  158. And even as we go to your word, help us today to learn and grow and reach the heights of Jesus.

  159. I pray for those families, the two that I'm thinking of right now,

  160. who we don't know that they got sick this morning,

  161. we know they weren't traveling this morning,

  162. and they said they would be here if they can't or couldn't or didn't.

  163. And we pray that you bless them right where they are

  164. and draw them to yourself and the same for us in Jesus' name. Amen.

  165. Did I have two children, Mom?

  166. Chris just said that Katelyn is going to the urgent care, Aaron is taking care of herself.
