paper Bible, electronic, phone, tablet,

whatever you have, if you're able to

able to stand, stand on your feet.

That's it. Come on, say, "This is my

Bible.

>> It reveals to me.

>> It reveals to me

>> God's will.

>> It's the final authority

>> of my life

>> is the standard

>> the standard

>> of my conduct

>> of my life

>> of all my expectations of all my

>> Come on shout it out I am

>> I am

>> what it says I am what it says

>> I possess I

>> what it says I possess possess

>> and I can do

>> I can

>> absolutely everything it says I can do

>> I'm a believer

>> not a doubter

>> I'm a believer not a doubter not a dou

I'm I'm a believer.

>> I'm a believer.

>> Not a doubter.

>> Not a dou.

>> I'm a doer.

>> Not just a hearer.

>> And my life.

>> My everyday life.

>> Not a hearer.

>> Is the better.

>> After having heard

>> the word of faith.

>> The word of faith.

>> Faith comes by hearing

>> comes by hearing

>> and hearing.

>> And hearing

>> and hearing by

>> hearing by

>> the word of God.

>> Let's rise.

>> Joshua.

>> The book of Joshua.

Let me just get to verse seven and then

we'll make our way. Joshua chapter 1

Joshua 1:7

verse 7 in the NIV. It says, "Be strong

and very courageous.

>> Be careful to obey all the law my

servant Moses gave you. Do not turn from

it to the right or to the left that you

may be successful wherever you go. Keep

this book of the law always on your

lips. Meditate on it day and night so

that you may be careful to do everything

written in it. Then you will be

prosperous and successful. Have I not

commanded you? Be strong and courageous.

Do not be afraid. Do not be discouraged,

for the Lord your God will be with you

wherever you go.

So Joshua ordered the officers of the

people

>> go through the camp

>> and tell the people, "Get your

provisions ready.

>> 3 days from now, you will cross the

Jordan here to go in and take possession

of the land the Lord your God is giving

you for your own."

>> Uh for the next few moments, I want to

preach from the subject Let's ride.

Let's ride.

>> Bump the person next to you. Say, "Let's

ride."

>> Transitions.

>> Transitions can be challenging.

Whether it's moving to a new city or

starting a new job or stepping into a

new role, transitions often bring

feelings of uncertainty,

>> feelings of discomfort.

>> And if we be real honest, sometimes

feelings of fear,

>> transitions require us to leave the

familiar and to step into the unknown.

>> For some, it's the fear of failure. For

others, it's the weight of new

responsibility.

And yet, transitions are also

opportunities.

>> Yes, sir.

>> Yeah. Opportunities to grow,

>> to become,

>> to trust God more deeply

>> and to see his promises fulfilled in a

new way.

>> Life is filled.

>> Oh, I hear my himno talking to me. Life

is filled with swift transitions.

>> Yeah. graduating from school, getting

married, becoming a parent, or even

saying goodbye to a loved one. Each of

these moments mark the end of one

chapter and the beginning of another.

Today, as we gather on this New Year's

Eve, we stand on the brink of a

transition,

>> not only into a new year,

>> but also into a new season of leadership

for our church.

>> After 37 years

>> of faithful, consistent, tireless,

loving service, our beloved bishop has

retired.

or if we put it in her words,

restructuring.

>> And we have humbly stepped into the role

of pastor

>> in three days. On Saturday,

>> Saturday,

>> y'all heard, bishop, on Saturday,

>> January the 3

>> is the official pastoral installation.

>> Hallelujah.

This is a moment of transition.

>> Not just for the Evans and the Joneses.

>> That's right.

>> But for all of us.

>> Oh yeah. Let me just sit there for a

minute. Not just for us, but for us.

>> Yet the transition is not just for us,

but it's for us.

>> THE ELEVATION IS NOT JUST FOR US. It is

for

>> us.

God is so faithful

>> cuz just a few weeks ago while at the

retirement I'm standing in the back

parking lot and one of the veterans of

our church comes up to me and he tells

me he says pastor Trev you know in the

military there's a there's a scripture

that is read often especially when

there's a change of leadership

>> I said well what is that he said it's

Joshua chapter 1 verse 9

Joshua 1:9

>> it says says in the King James, it says,

"Have not I commanded thee? Be strong

and of a good courage. Be not afraid,

neither be thou dismayed, for the Lord

thy God is with thee, whethersoever thou

goest." What a powerful reminder that

even in the midst of change, God's

presence remains the same.

Woo.

>> Although transition brings change, there

are some things, beloved, that remain

the same.

>> These unchanging truths gave Joshua the

confidence to respond to the people with

a bold declaration of let's ride.

>> In our text, we find Joshua standing at

a pivotal moment in Israel's history.

>> Moses, the great leader who had brought

the Israeliites out of Egypt. out of

bondage and through the wilderness was

now dead.

>> The mantle of leadership had passed to

Joshua and the task before him was

daunting.

>> He was to lead the people across the

Jordan River and into the promised land.

>> This was a moment of transition.

>> But it was also a moment of opportunity.

>> That's right.

>> Yeah. In the middle of transition, God

reminded Joshua of three unchanging

truths.

>> That the mission is still the same.

>> That the mantle is still the same.

>> And that his message to them is still

the same.

>> Yeah. Although Moses was gone, number

one, the mission God had given them was

still the same.

>> Look in verse two. It says, "God tells

Joshua, Moses, my servant, is dead.

>> Now then, you and all these people get

ready to cross the Jordan into the land

that I'm giving to them

>> to the Israelites." Verse three, I will

give you every place, listen to this,

where you set your foot

>> as I promised Moses, your territory will

extend from the desert to Lebanon

>> and for talk Bible and from the great

river, the Euphrates to the

Mediterranean Sea in the west.

>> Now, I know that doesn't mean anything

to you, BUT FLIP BACK ONE CHAP, ONE book

to Deuteronomy chapter 11.

Deuteronomy 11 · chapter mention

Deuteronomy 11, this is God talking to

Moses.

>> He says in VERSE 24, "EVERY PLACE,

MOSES, WHERE YOU SET YOUR foot

>> will be yours.

>> Your territory will extend." Listen,

from the desert of Lebanon,

>> and from the Euphrates River to the

Mediterranean Sea, no one will be able

>> to stand against you.

Yeah, HE TOLD JOSHUA THE same thing he

told Moses.

>> THE SIGNIFICANCE OF GOD GIVING JOSHUA

THE SAME mission that he gave to Moses

is PROFOUND BECAUSE IT REMINDS US CORNIA

THAT GOD'S PLANS ARE NOT DEPENDENT on

one person.

>> OH, GOD'S PLAN IS NOT DEPENDENT on one

person.

>> Not on me, not on you. AS MY GRANDMAMA

WOULD SAY, NO, NOT ONE MONKEY. NOT ONE

MONKEY.

>> One monkey,

>> don't stop the show.

I remember Bishop about 20some years ago

telling us at Hust and Ward. She would

look at us right square in the face and

she would say, "This ain't O'Neal

Tabernacle."

>> That's right.

>> This is God's church.

>> And the church of God is moving on.

>> That sounded harsh then,

>> but I understand it now.

>> That's right.

>> That one monkey don't stop no show.

>> God's church is moving on. Woo!

>> Leaders may change,

>> but the mission remains the same.

>> For Cornia, I need you to hear me. Our

mission does not change.

>> OUR ASSIGNMENT FROM God does not change.

>> WE ARE STILL CALLED TO EQUIP THE

BELIEVER,

>> to grow,

>> to build, to serve, and to share.

We're still called to equip the believer

>> to grow,

>> to build, to serve, and to share.

WE'RE STILL CALLED

>> TO EQUIP THE BELIEVER

>> to grow, to build, to serve, to share,

to grow, to build, TO SERVE, TO SHARE,

TO GROW, TO BUILD, TO SERVE, to share,

to grow, to build, to serve, TO SHARE. E

CHURCH

>> grow to build to serve TO SERVE

>> ADDITIONAL SEATING to build to serve to

share

>> the mission is still the same.

>> Yes sir.

THE ASSIGNMENT FROM God is still the

same

>> that God has equipped us to grow

>> in his word

>> because the GRASS WITHERS,

>> THE FLOWER FADES,

>> BUT THE WORD OF OUR GOD SHALL stand

forever.

>> WE'RE CALLED TO BUILD real relationships

>> BECAUSE WE'RE STILL NOT MADE.

>> WE'RE CALLED TO SERVE WITH PURPOSE.

God has called us to serve because it's

our serving that makes impact in the

lives of other people.

>> I'M NOT JUST CALLED TO GET. I'M CALLED

to give.

>> I'm not just called TO CONSUME. I'M

CALLED TO CONTRIBUTE.

>> That's right.

>> We're called to grow, to build, to

serve, and to share our faith.

>> Because there still is a heaven to gain

>> and a hell to shun. God has given us the

same mission. The mission has not

changed.

>> And can I just insert this? Neither has

the method.

>> Yeah. In in verse three, just let me

just let me get that a little bit in. In

verse three, God says, he says, "Every

place that the sole of your foot shall

tread upon, that I have given to you."

>> Understand something. The promise that

God has made in your life is not

passive.

The promises that God has made in your

life is not passive. If he's telling you

you're going TO HAVE ABUNDANCE, YOU

GOING TO HAVE TO go after it. If he tell

you your family's GOING TO BE SAVED, YOU

GOING to have to go after it. If he said

BETTER HEALTH IS YOURS, YOU GOING TO

HAVE TO GO AFTER IT.

>> He told them to put their foot ON IT.

>> HE TOLD MOSES, "PUT YOUR FOOT ON IT."

>> HE TOLD JOSHUA, "PUT YOUR FOOT ON IT."

HE TOLD THEM, "PUT YOUR FOOT ON IT." BUT

CORNELIA, HE'S TELLING US, PUT OUR FAITH

ON IT.

>> FOR WE WALK BY FAITH

>> AND NOT BY SIGHT. THE JUST SHALL LIVE

>> by faith. Let me tell you something.

EVERYTHING THAT CORNIA HAS DONE, IT HAS

BEEN DONE BY FAITH.

>> EVERY PERSON THAT HAS BEEN FED HAS BEEN

FED BY FAITH. EVERY BOX OF CHICKEN

THAT'S BEEN GIVEN HAS BEEN GIVEN BY

FAITH. EVERY BAG OF GROCERIES THAT'S

BEEN HANDED OUT HAS BEEN HANDED OUT BY

FAITH. EVERY BUILDING THAT HAS BEEN

BUILT HAS BEEN BUILT BY FAITH. EVERY VAN

PAID FOR HAS BEEN PAID FOR BY FAITH.

>> AND WE TOO MUST WALK BY FAITH.

>> We're too we too are going TO HAVE TO

ASK GOD FOR WHAT we want.

>> Yes, sir.

>> BELIEVE GOD FOR WHAT WE WANT.

>> WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO CONFESS WHAT WE

WANT. THEN WE HAVE TO DEMONSTRATE WHAT

IT IS WE'RE BELIEVING FOR.

>> THEN WE HAVE TO EXPECT

>> WHAT IT IS WE'VE ASKED FOR.

>> THEY DON'T LIKE THIS ONE, BISHOP, BUT WE

GOING TO HAVE TO FORGIVE.

>> WE GOT TO WALK BY FAITH.

>> Pump your neighbor and say, "The mission

is still the same."

>> The mission still

>> and the method hadn't changed.

>> The method has changed.

>> The mission is the same. The method is

the same. But number two, the mantle is

the same.

Not only did God give Joshua the same

mission,

>> but he also gave him the same mantle.

>> In verse 5, God says, "As I was with

Moses," God help me. Don't get stuck

here. "As I was with Moses,

>> SO SHALL I BE WITH YOU.

>> AS I WAS WITH MOSES,

>> SO SHALL I BE WITH YOU. AS I WAS WITH

MOSES, SO SHALL I BE WITH AS I WAS,

>> SO SHALL I BE.

>> AS I WAS, SO SHALL I BE. AS I WAS, SO

SHALL I BE. MAMA MAY BE GONE, BUT AS I

WAS, SO SHALL I BE.

>> THE MANTLE OF GOD'S PRESENCE

>> WAS STILL THE SAME.

>> God said, "I'm still with you." STILL

WITH

>> YOU. YOU GOT THE MANTLE OF MY PRESENCE

WITH YOU.

>> AND CORINIA, CAN I TELL YOU THAT THAT

THAT THAT THAT WE HAVE THE MANTLE OF OUR

BISHOP ON US STILL?

>> SHOUT OUT LOUD. SAY, SAME GRACE.

>> WE GOT THE SAME GRACE, THE SAME MANTLE

OF OUR PASTOR OWNERS.

>> YET TO HAVE REAL JOY IN SERVING JESUS.

I'M NOT SAD ABOUT SERVING.

>> I'M NOT MAD ABOUT SERVING. I'M NOT

MUMBLING AND GRUMBLING ABOUT SERVING.

BUT I GOT AN AUTHENTIC JOY TO SERVE

JESUS. BUMP YOUR NEIGHBOR. SAY, "SAME

GRACE."

>> Same grace TO MAKE TO HAVE FAITH TO MAKE

REAL IMPACT.

>> I'M SO GRATEFUL TO BE IN A CHURCH THAT'S

MAKING REAL IMPACT.

NO. SEE, SEE, if you didn't GROW UP IN

CHURCH, IT AIN'T NO KNOCK TO NOBODY

ELSE, BUT JUST LET ME JUST let me tell

you, if if you have ever been in a

church where you was doing and doing and

doing and doing and you wasn't sin,

like, what's the point?

>> I I KNOW IT. I KNOW IT. JUST LET ME GET

THROUGH HERE. YOU YOU YOU DON'T KNOW

WHAT IT'S LIKE

>> TO REALLY BE IN A PLACE NOW THAT WHAT WE

DO MATTERS.

>> THAT WHEN I SHOW UP, IT MATTERS. THAT

WHAT I DO MAKES THE DIFFERENCE IN

SOMEBODY LIFE. IT MATTERS.

>> That's the grace on us

>> that we have A FAITH TO IMPACT PEOPLE'S

lives

>> to change THEIR ETERNITIES.

>> WHAT WE DO IS NOT JUST FOR TIME.

>> BUT WHEN PEOPLE CLOSE THEIR EYES ON THIS

TIME,

>> THEY'LL OPEN THEIR EYES IN THE PRESENCE

OF THE LORD.

>> Touch somebody. Say it matters.

>> God the mantle. The mantle. Catch this

y'all. WE STILL WE GOT A MANTLE to live

better and die better.

>> We got a mantle to live better and die

better. We got A MANTLE TO GO AFTER

everything that's in our hearts to do.

>> That's right.

>> Woo. AIN'T THAT WHAT THEY TOLD HIM IN

SAMUEL? DO ALL THAT'S IN YOUR HEART.

>> YEAH. GO. STOP SINGING COULD HAVE,

WOULD. IT'S THE SADDEST SONG EVER SUNG.

IF GOD HAS TOLD YOU TO START THE

BUSINESS, START THE BUSINESS.

Live better.

>> Live better so you can die better.

>> So that you can die with no regrets.

>> Yes, sir.

>> That when it comes DOWN TIME TO CLOSE

YOUR EYES ON this side,

>> that you can lay back and kiss everybody

around you and said, "It's been a good

ride."

>> AND I CLOSE MY EYES ON THIS SIDE and

open them in the presence of God.

>> I live in a way. I forgive the people

that have hurt me. YEAH,

>> I'M NOT DRAGGING THAT THING INTO 2026.

NO, NO, NO. I'M GOING TO FORGIVE.

>> I want to live better.

>> So I can die better.

>> Woo.

>> Touch your neighbor. Say, "Same mantle."

>> Oh, God. Same mant. Not only is the

method the same, not only is the mantle

the same, but the message is the same.

>> Yes, sir.

>> Finally, God gave Joshua the same

message. He gave it to him over and over

again. Can I just tell you? Anytime God

repeats himself, you and I got to pause.

>> ANYTIME GOD REPEATS HIMSELF, YOU AND I

HAVE TO PAUSE. HE TOLD JOSHUA, he said,

"Be strong

>> and courageous

>> in verse six."

>> Be strong and very courageous in verse 7

>> AND BE STRONG AND COURAGEOUS IN VERSE 9.

GOD IS repeating himself.

>> YEAH. WHY IS GOD REPEATING HIMSELF?

CATCH THIS. BECAUSE HE KNEW JOSHUA AND

THE PEOPLE WOULD FACE CHALLENGES and he

wanted them to be reminded that courage

is needed.

>> Courage is still needed in what it is

that he's calling them to do.

>> Be strong.

>> Be strong

>> and courageous.

>> DON'T WAIT UNTIL YOU FEEL IT BEFORE YOU

GO AFTER IT.

>> BE STRONG AND COURAGEOUS.

IT REMINDED HIM THAT COURAGE IS NOT THE

ABSENCE OF FEAR,

>> but the presence of faith.

>> Come on.

>> MY COURAGE IS NOT THE ABSENCE OF FEAR.

>> Pump your name and say, "Do it scared."

>> Do it scared.

>> Yeah. Do it scared.

>> Do it nervous.

>> DO IT UNSURE OF YOURSELF. BUT IF GOD

TOLD YOU TO DO IT, GO DO IT.

>> HALLELUJAH.

>> AND CAN I TELL YOU, CORNELIA, THE

MESSAGE IS STILL THE same for us. that

Jesus

>> is still Lord,

>> that Jesus still saved.

>> THAT THE BLOOD STILL WORKS.

>> THAT'S OUR MESSAGE TO DYING MEN AND

WOMEN, BOYS AND GIRLS, THAT JESUS STILL

SAVED.

>> Touch your neighbor. Say it's still the

same message.

>> IN THEIR TRANSITION WITH CHANGE ALL

around them,

>> God reminded them that the mission is

still the same. the mantle of his

presence is still the same

>> and that his message to them and to

others is still the same.

>> Joshua remind Joshua responds to God's

command and his reminder in verse 10 and

11.

>> Boy, it's 11:58.

JOSHUA RESP RESPONDS TO GOD'S COMMAND

and his REMINDERS

>> BY TELLING THE OFFICERS,

>> "GO THROUGH THE camp

>> and tell the people,

>> GET YOUR PROVISIONS READY."

>> Oh yeah.

>> GO THROUGH THE CAMP. GET YOUR PROVISIONS

READY.

Go through the camp. Get your provisions

ready. IN OTHER WORDS, GOD SAID,

>> "Let's ride." TOUCH THE PERSON BESIDE

YOU AND SAY, "LET'S RIDE."

HERE COMES 2026. LET'S RIDE. BYE-BYE.

in THE ONE AT THE HELM.

>> AND A YIELDED HEART READY for the

journey.

>> LET'S RIDE IS A BOLD YES.

>> I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT TUCKING YOUR TAIL.

I'M TALKING ABOUT A BOLD YES. WHEN WE

SAY LET'S RIDE, WE'RE NOT WHISPERING IT.

WE'RE PUTTING OUR CHEST OUT. STICK YOUR

CHIN UP AND DECLARE, "Let's ride."

>> GIVE ME MY SLIDE BACK. GIVE ME MY SLIDE

BACK. IT IS THE SOUND. WOO! Faith has a

sound.

>> IF YOU BELIEVE GOD, IT HAS A SOUND. IT'S

THE SOUND OF CONFIDENCE.

NOT IN MYSELF,

>> NOT in my own ability,

BUT IT'S CONFIDENCE IN THE ONE THAT'S AT

THE HELM.

>> SEE, understand something.

>> WHEN I SAY LET'S RIDE,

>> I'm not driving.

>> SEE, RIGHT NOW, THIS IS HOW MANY OF US

ARE.

>> WE'RE IN THE DRIVER'S SEAT.

BUT I'M BELIEVING GOD THAT BY THE TIME

YOU LEAVE HERE THAT YOU'LL GET OUT OF

THE DRIVER'S SEAT,

tell Jesus, "Take the wheel

and let's ride." I'm not driving, I'm

riding. I'm not worried, I'm riding.

Let's ride.

TO THE MISSION IS STILL THE SAME. LET'S

RIDE.

WILL WE GROW IN GOD'S WORD?

>> Will you serve with purpose?

>> Will you build real relationship?

WILL YOU SHARE YOUR FAITH?

Will we feed the hungry? Will we

remember the forgotten? WILL WE STILL

HAVE DAD? OR HOW ABOUT PRESENTATION OF

FAMILY? Will we still pray? Will we

fast? Will we give? SOMEBODY SHOUT,

"LET'S RIDE.

The mission is still the same, but the

mantle is still the same.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT 2026 HOLDS, but I know

but I know who holds 2026.

Yes, Lord. Somebody tonight needs TO GET

OUT OF THE DRIVER'S seat and let Jesus

take the wheel.

>> My bishop reminded me.

>> Yes, sir.

that when you are riding

you have a whole different temperament.

>> WHEN YOU DRIVING, YOU GOT TO BE ALERT.

WHEN YOU DRIVING, YOU GOT TO STAY AND

HAVE ALL THIS TENSION.

But when you ride,

THERE'S A RELAXATION.

WHEN YOU RIDE, THERE'S a resting in your

spirit. When you ride, I want to tell

you that God will, HE'LL RESTORE YOU. IF

YOU'LL SIT BACK AND RIDE, take your

hands off the wheel. Stop worrying. Stop

complaining. Don't chase every lie. Let

them talk. I'm going to ride. Let them

text. I'm going to ride. Let them post.

I'M GOING TO RIDE. SCANDALIZE MY NAME,

but I'm going to rise. If God be for me,

if God be for me, IF GOD BE FOR ME, then

who can be against me? No weapon formed

against me shall be able to prosper.

Let's ride.

I can't go till I say this one. Be not

dismayed.

Be not dismayed. WHATEVER BE time

because God will. Yes, he will. God will

take care of you. Stop worrying. Stop

pulling YOUR HAIR OUT. LET'S RIDE.

WARNING.

the world.

I'm not saying people won't walk away.

>> What I'm saying is that God will never

walk away.

And I don't want to spend my life

>> behind the wheel.

>> Not when he is a better driver than I

am.

>> Thank you, Holy Ghost.

And God said he don't need a backseat

driver.

>> Stop sitting ON THE PASSENGER SIDE

TELLING GOD WHAT HE OUGHT TO do and how

soon he ought to DO IT. YOU BACKSEAT

DRIVING.

Let's ride.

>> It's bold.

It's bold.

>> It's bold. And can I just tell you this

in verse 10? It says Joshua commanded

the officers and the officers went and

told the people. Let me tell you

something. My ass timing here tonight is

Joshua to tell the officers

and you go tell the people, "Let's

ride."

>> When they ask you on your job, you still

a member AT CORNELIA? YES, I AM. Let's

ride. When they ask you in the city, ARE

YOU STILL GOING TO THAT CHURCH? DIDN'T

BISHOP RETIRE? YES, she did. She's
