AND ALL THE PEOPLE THAT LOVE GOD SAID, AMEN.

THIS SECTION DID REALLY GOOD AGAIN.

- THEY'RE FEISTY OVER THERE TODAY.

- IT ONLY HEARD LIKE ONE PERSON, I THINK IT WAS MY NIECE.

I MEAN, YOUR BIRTHDAY'S TOMORROW.

- NO, WEDNESDAY.

- I MEAN, YOUR BIRTHDAY'S WEDNESDAY. I KNEW THAT, I MEAN.

SO ANYWAY, HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ALLIE.

- HAPPY BIRTHDAY EARLY, ALLIE.

- SO I WAS SENDING HER PICTURES LAST NIGHT

IN THE GROUP TEXT TO THEIR FAMILY OF A MOTORCYCLE. YEAH,

IT WAS A MOTORCYCLE WITH A LAWNMOWER ATTACHED TO IT SO YOU

COULD LEARN TO DRIVE AND WORK AT THE SAME TIME, ALLIE. I'M TRYING

TO HELP. ANYWAY, CAN WE JUST SAY HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ALLIE?

ALL RIGHT, WELL, HEY, TODAY IS BACK TO CHURCH SUNDAY.

SO ARE YOU EXCITED?

AND I'M JUST GLAD Y'ALL SHOWED UP AFTER THAT NEBRASKA GAME

YESTERDAY. ANYBODY WATCH THAT?

- THAT WAS PAINFUL. - IT WAS PAINFUL.

BUT I WATCHED THE VOLLEYBALL LAST NIGHT AND THEY WON.

I DID IT ON PURPOSE. I'M LIKE, I NEED NEBRASKA VICTORY.

- IT GAVE US SOME SOLACE, YES.

- AND BRENDA MADE ME SOME HOMEMADE MANWICHES. BRENDA, THAT

WAS AMAZING. - DON'T CALL THEM MANWICHES.

THAT'S THE CANNED STUFF, YUCK.

- OKAY, SHE MADE HOMEMADE WHATEVER THEY ARE, BUT IT WAS

REALLY, REALLY GOOD. - BETTER.

- SO, WELL, BEFORE WE GREET OUR ONLINE, I JUST WANNA GIVE A

SHOUT OUT TO PASTOR MARK. WHERE IS PASTOR MARK? HE'S HERE.

- HE'S RUNNING AROUND STILL. - SO, ALL RIGHT.

- SO WHEREVER PASTOR MARK IS, KNOW THAT WE'RE CALLING HIM OUT.

- WELL, HE SHOULD BE HERE, SO I'LL DO THIS. I WANNA GREET ALL

OF YOU THAT ARE WATCHING ALSO AROUND THE WORLD, OUR FAITHFUL

FRIENDS AND E-MEMBERS, PARTNERS. AND ALSO, HOW ABOUT THIS? SOME

OF YOU CAME TO OTH LAST WEEK. THE CONFERENCE. WE HAD A GREAT

TIME. IT WAS SO GREAT TO SEE YOU ALSO AT THE BOOK TABLE. BUT HERE

IS WHAT I WANTED TO TELL YOU. SO PASTOR MARK, WHILE WE WERE

HAVING OTH, THE CONFERENCE THERE, THIS WHOLE STAGE WAS TORN

APART. - THEY REPLACED ALL THE

FLOORING. - THEY HAD THE CHAIRS OUT.

- SO WHAT HAPPENED WAS THERE WAS A FLAW. WHEN THEY BUILT THE

BUILDING, THERE WAS A FLAW IN THIS FLOORING COVERING UP HERE.

SO WE HAD TO FIGURE OUT WE NEEDED TWO WEEKS TO TEAR IT OUT

AND WE WERE GOING TO HAVE TO MISS A SUNDAY IN THE BUILDING TO

DO IT. SO WE'RE ALREADY DOWN AT THE ARENA FOR OPENING THE

HEAVENS, SO THEY DID IT. BUT I WANT TO SAY THIS, SHOUT OUT

TO THE MEDIA DEPARTMENT. ALL OF THIS WAS CLEARED.

- ANYBODY IN HERE VOLUNTEER TO GET ALL THIS BACK IN, RAISE YOUR

HAND. WE WANT TO SAY THANK YOU TO YOU AS WELL. I KNOW MANY OF

THE MEDIA TEAM FOR YOUR HELP. THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP.

- YEAH, AND I THINK JOE, YOU WERE PROGRAMMING LIGHTS LIKE

YESTERDAY, RIGHT, LIKE STILL PUTTING COMPUTERS. SO WE PRAYED

FOR ALL OF YOU THIS MORNING THAT THE SERVICE WOULD ACTUALLY

WORK. WE'RE EXCITED. - NO, BUT IT WAS A LOT OF WORK.

AND THEY WERE SHOWING ME PICTURES. I'M LIKE, HOW ARE THEY

GOING TO GET THIS THING BACK TOGETHER?

- THEY DID A REMARKABLE JOB.

-BUT I DO WANT TO SAY THIS, ALL OF

YOU THAT MADE THE CONFERENCE WHAT IT WAS, IT WAS PROBABLY

ONE OF THE BEST CONFERENCES WE'VE HAD.

- IT WAS AMAZING. - SO WE WANT TO THANK YOU FOR

ALL OF YOUR HARD WORK. IT WAS JUST, IT WAS AN AMAZING

CONFERENCE. - IT WAS SUCH A GOOD TIME AND

YOU KNOW, AND WE HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO HONOR THE LIFE OF

CHARLIE KIRK AND THAT WAS VERY SPECIAL. I KNOW HIS MEMORIAL

SERVICE IS TODAY IN PHOENIX AND SO WE'RE JUST EXTENDING

ALL OF OUR LOVE FROM LORD OF HOSTS CHURCH.

HE WAS A GUEST HERE AT THE CHURCH BACK BEFORE

THE ELECTION AND SO WE'RE JUST EXTENDING ALL OF OUR LOVE TO

THE KIRK FAMILY AND TURNING POINT USA AND WE HONOR YOU.

- WELL, AND I'VE GOT A GOOD WORD IN MY MOUTH TODAY TOO.

I'M GOING TO TALK, I WAS GOING TO DO PART TWO OF THE MESSAGE

BEFORE WE WENT TO THE ARENA, BUT I JUST REALLY FELT LIKE I

JUST WANTED TO TALK A BIT ABOUT THE CHURCH.

AND ESPECIALLY AS WE TALKED ABOUT CHARLIE KIRK, YOU KNOW,

THE CULTURE OF EVIL AND HATE AND DECEPTION AND YOU JUST NAME

IT. I REALLY FEEL LIKE THE ROLE OF US AS BELIEVERS AND THE

CHURCH BECOMES MORE AND MORE IMPORTANT AND VITAL.

DON'T YOU THINK, HONESTLY, FOR THIS HOUR THAT WE'RE IN.

SO WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT SOME OF THAT. IT'S GOING TO BE

A GREAT TIME. AND THEN AFTERWARDS, WE'RE GOING TO

PARTY, MAN. WE'VE GOT FOOD TRUCKS OUT THERE.

HOW MANY OF YOU, ARE THEY ALREADY OUT THERE?

- YEAH, THEY'RE COMING. ONE'S ALREADY THERE.

- THEY GOT TACOS. I NOTICED BARBECUE.

- OKAY, I GOT TO TAKE A POLL AND THEN WE'RE GOING TO PRAISE GOD.

- OKAY, THEN WE'RE GOING TO PRAISE GOD, BUT WE GOT TO

SATISFY THE HUNGER. - SO WHO IN THE ROOM ARE TACO

PEOPLE? OKAY, HOW ABOUT THE BARBECUE FOLKS? ANY BARBECUE?

HOW ABOUT PIZZA FOLKS?

- NOW, HOW AM I GOING TO DO MY OTHER LEG, BRENDA? I DON'T KNOW.

- I MEAN, LOOK AT THIS CLOWN. - ALL RIGHT.

- THAT'S GOOD. - IS THAT ALL THERE IS?

- I DON'T REMEMBER. - THANK GOD I RAN OUT OF...

- HOT DOGS? ANY HOT DOG PEOPLE?

- SMASH, THE SMASH BITES. - WHAT?

- SMASH BITES LIKE HAMBURGERS.

- OH, HAMBURGERS. OKAY. OKAY. IT'S GOING TO BE A LOT OF FUN.

- WELL, I WON'T GO REAL LONG, SO YOU GOT TIME TO GET HUNGRY.

- YES. ALL RIGHT. RIGHT ABOUT THE TIME OUR STOMACHS GROWL,

YOU'LL BE DONE PREACHING.

- YOU KNOW, I'VE GOT TO SAY ONE LAST THING BEFORE WE WORSHIP.

YOU KNOW, PEOPLE ARE JUST ON EDGE.

DID YOU HEAR ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED?

TWO ARTISTS AT A MAJOR ART SHOW GOT IN A FIGHT.

BUT IT TURNED OUT GOOD. IT ENDED IN A DRAW.

THEY HAD TO FIT ONE IN. I HAVEN'T HAD ONE.

[LAUGHTER]

ALL RIGHT. BLESS AND WORSHIP.

- ARE YOU EXCITED TO BE IN THE LORD'S HOUSE TODAY? ARE YOU

PUMPED? ALL RIGHT, WELL LET'S LIFT THOSE HANDS UP TO HEAVEN.

SAY THESE WORDS, SAY, "LORD, IT'S GONNA BE A GREAT DAY IN

THE HOUSE OF GOD. HOLY SPIRIT, TOUCH MY LIFE. TOUCH EVERYONE

IN THIS ROOM. TOUCH EVERYONE WATCHING ONLINE. MOVE IN THIS

PLACE AND LORD, I PROMISE TO GIVE YOU MY VERY BEST PRAISE.

COME ON, SHOUT LIKE YOU BELIEVE IT. AND LET'S PRAISE THE LORD.

COME ON, RAISE YOUR PRAISE TO THE LORD GOD ALMIGHTY.

♪ WORSHIP MUSIC ♪

- WE WORSHIP YOU. WE WORSHIP YOU.

COME ON, JUST WORSHIP HIM ALL OVER THE WORLD. I WANT YOU TO

WORSHIP HIM. OPEN YOUR HEART TO GOD. WE WORSHIP YOU, JESUS.

WONDERFUL HEAVENLY FATHER. WE HONOR THE BEAUTY OF WHO YOU ARE.

WE WORSHIP YOU, WE WORSHIP YOU, WE WORSHIP YOU, GOD.

WE HALLOW THY NAME.

WE HONOR YOU IN THY NAME.

HALLOWED BE THY NAME, O GREAT GOD. WE WORSHIP YOU. WE WORSHIP

YOU. COME ON, ONE OF THE WAYS THAT YOU HALLOW THE NAME OF GOD

IS YOU THINK OF SOMETHING OF HIS CHARACTER TO HONOR.

FOR SOME OF YOU, IT'S FAITHFULNESS.

TO OTHERS, IT'S THE HEALER, THE PROVIDER, THE DELIVERER,

THE COMFORTER, THE ONE WHO BRINGS PEACE, THE REFUGE.

OUT OF YOUR OWN HEART, I WANT YOU TO JUST HALLOW HIS NAME.

THAT'S WHAT JESUS TAUGHT. HE SAID, "WHEN YOU GO TO THE

FATHER, YOU HONOR HIS NAME, YOU HALLOW HIS NAME." AND

ONE OF THE GREAT WAYS TO DO THAT IS TO REALLY REFLECT ON

AN ATTRIBUTE OF HIS CHARACTER, WHICH IS REFLECTED IN A

DESCRIPTION LIKE FAITHFUL, GOOD, KIND. SO JUST WORSHIP

HIM. THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE WATCHING ALL OVER THE WORLD,

JUST HALLOW AND HONOR HIS NAME. WHAT IS GOD TO YOU?

COME ON, JUST TELL HIM. 'CAUSE REALLY THAT'S THE QUESTION,

IT'S NOT WHAT MEN ARE SAYING ABOUT GOD, BUT WHAT JESUS

ASKED THE DISCIPLES, "WHO DO YOU SAY THAT I AM?" LET HIM

KNOW. YOU WHISPER IT TO HIM. YOU LIFT YOUR VOICE, YOUR

HEART. COME ON, HE IS A GOOD GOD, A LOVING GOD, A

FAITHFUL GOD. WE HONOR AND HALLOW THY NAME, O GREAT,

GREAT, GREAT GOD. OUR PROVISION, OUR PROTECTOR,

OUR PEACE. OUR CONSISTENT GOD, COMPASSIONATE, CARING.

WE WORSHIP YOU. WE WORSHIP YOU. OH GOD, HOW WE WORSHIP

YOU. IF YOU NEED PRAYER TODAY AND YOU'RE IN THIS

ROOM, MAYBE YOU'RE GOING THROUGH A NEED WHERE YOU'RE

LIKE, YOU KNOW, I JUST NEED THIS GOD OF PEACE OR GOD OF

PROVISION. MAYBE YOU'RE IN ANXIETY. MAYBE YOU'RE IN

FEAR. THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE WATCHING TODAY, YOU'RE LIKE,

I JUST I NEED GOD. I WANT YOU TO BE BOLD. I WANT YOU

AND THEN THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE WATCHING TODAY, YOU

COULD, I DON'T KNOW IF THEY GOT A HAND THING THAT YOU

CAN PUT LIKE A HAND SIGNAL WHERE YOU'RE RAISING YOUR

HAND, BUT I WANT YOU TO RAISE YOUR HAND JUST FOR A

MOMENT. IF YOU NEED PRAYER, YOU NEED PRAYER ABOUT

SOMETHING THAT YOU DON'T HAVE TO TELL EVERYBODY THE

SPECIFICS OF WHAT'S GOING ON FOR A, THE SAKE OF TIME AND

B, THERE'S JUST SOME THINGS THAT, ALL RIGHT, I WANT THE

BODY OF CHRIST. LISTEN, IN A WORLD WHERE WE'RE WATCHING

WHAT EVIL LOOKS LIKE AND HATE, RIGHT? DISCORD,

DIVISION, STRIFE, ARGUING, FIGHTING, FINGER POINTING.

JESUS DID SAY THERE WOULD BE A SIGN THAT SOMETIMES WE

FORGET. SO THIS IS HOW THE WORLD, THOSE THAT ARE

LOOKING IN ARE GONNA KNOW. YOU CAN PUT YOUR HAND DOWN

JUST WHILE I HAVE YOU RAISE IT BACK UP, 'CAUSE I COULD

BE LONG WINDED, I DON'T WANNA BE, BUT, AND THEN

YOU'RE GONNA NEED TO PRAY FOR A HEAVY ARM, RIGHT? BUT

HE SAID THERE WOULD BE A SIGN THAT THE WORLD WOULD BE

ABLE TO KNOW THAT WE ARE TRULY FOLLOWERS OF JESUS. HE

SAID IF YOU LOVE ONE ANOTHER. AND SO ONE OF THE

GREATEST WAYS THAT YOU CAN SHOW LOVE IS WHAT THE

SCRIPTURE SAYS, "PRAY ONE FOR ANOTHER." THAT YOU MAY

BE WHAT? HEALED. AND I THINK THAT THAT IS ONE OF THE WAYS

WE'RE GONNA SEE HEALING COME TO OUR CULTURE, TO OUR

SOCIETY, IS IF WE RATHER THAN GET ON AND BE FACEBOOK

WARRIORS, RIGHT, WHICH WE SHOULD STAND FOR TRUTH, I'M

NOT SAYING THAT, WHAT WOULD WE DO IF WE JUST LEARN TO

PRAY RATHER THAN OPEN OUR MOUTHS TO CRITICIZE, TO

ALWAYS BE RIGHT, IF WE WOULD OPEN OUR MOUTHS TO PRAY.

(SOFT MUSIC) HOW MANY OF US THINK THAT WOULD BE A GREAT

THING TO START? SO I WANT YOU THAT ARE WATCHING, I'M

GONNA TAKE MY PHONE OUT, AND AS I DO IT REPRESENTS YOU

THAT ARE WATCHING TODAY. AND I'M GONNA PRAY FOR YOU. BUT

IF YOU NEED PRAYER, LIFT UP YOUR HAND TODAY, AND I WANT

SOME BELIEVERS TO GO OUT OF THEIR, COME ON, GO OUT OF

YOUR CHAIR TODAY, SHOW THE LOVE OF GOD, AND JUST PRAY,

AND IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT TO PRAY FOR THAT PERSON,

JUST KEEP YOUR HAND UP, AND THEN ONCE SOMEBODY IS AROUND

YOU, YOU CAN PUT YOUR ARM DOWN SO THAT YOU DON'T, YOU

KNOW, HAVE TO HAVE PRAYER AGAIN FOR YOUR ARM. BUT

THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE WATCHING, I'M GONNA PRAY A

PRAYER FOR YOU, ALL RIGHT? YOU READY? AT THE COUNT OF

THREE, WE'RE GONNA PRAY FOR THOSE PEOPLE. FIND SOMEBODY

WITH THEIR ARMS UP, PRAY THE PEACE OF GOD OVER THEM. YOU

COULD ASK 'EM, YOU KNOW, IS THERE ANYTHING I CAN PRAY

FOR YOU ABOUT? AND THEN JUST, IF YOU NEED PRAYER,

JUST GIVE, YOU KNOW, MAYBE A SHORT SENTENCE, MAYBE ONE

AREA THAT IS REALLY ON YOUR HEART TODAY. BUT FATHER, WE

PRAY RIGHT NOW FOR EVERY PERSON IN THE SOUND OF MY

VOICE. AND THERE ARE THOSE RIGHT NOW THAT ARE IN THIS

ROOM THAT SOMEONE IS ACTUALLY TOUCHING THEM.

SOMEONE IS ACTUALLY TOUCHING AND AGREEING WITH THEIR

NEED. AND THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE WATCHING, I AM STANDING

RIGHT NOW IN A PLACE OF PROXY FOR YOU. I AM TOUCHING

MY PHONE AND I AM, AS A PROPHETIC ACT, I'M REACHING

OUT NOW AS IF TO TOUCH YOU AS THESE ARE TOUCHING. AND

THE BIBLE SAYS WHEN TWO OR MORE AGREE UPON THIS EARTH

AS TOUCHING ANY ONE THING, GOD, YOU SEE THOSE THAT ARE

PHYSICALLY BEING TOUCHED AND THOSE THAT ARE PROPHETICALLY

BEING TOUCHED RIGHT NOW THROUGH THE CAMERA AND WE

COME INTO AGREEMENT RIGHT NOW THAT NOTHING THAT THE

ENEMY IS TRYING TO DO WILL PREVAIL. WE SPEAK AND

DECLARE THAT NO WEAPON FORMED AGAINST THE PEOPLE,

IT SHALL NOT AND IT WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO PROSPER. WE

STAND IN A PLACE OF AGREEMENT AT THIS MOMENT NOW

AND WE ARE CALLING UPON THE SAVING POWER OF YOUR RIGHT

HAND, THE HAND OF FAVOR, THE HAND OF BLESSING, THE HAND

OF PROVISION, THE HAND OF HEALING, THE HAND OF

DELIVERANCE, THE HAND THAT CAUSES BREAKTHROUGH, THE

HAND THAT CAUSES PEACE TO SURPASS OUR VERY

UNDERSTANDING. WE PRAY FOR YOUR HAND THAT BREAKS THE

POWER OF DARKNESS AND EVIL AND BRINGS RESTRAINT TO THE

FORCES OF DARKNESS, THAT NO HARM, NO EVIL, IT CANNOT

BEFALL US. NO PLAGUE CAN COME NEAR OUR DWELLING, FOR

WE LIVE IN THE ABUNDANCE OF THE COVENANT OF PEACE THAT

YESHUA, JESUS, PROVIDED THROUGH HIS BLOOD. GOODNESS

AND MERCY FOLLOWS US. BREAKTHROUGH IS A PART OF

OUR LIFE. AND THEREFORE WE DECLARE, FATHER, THAT YOU

HAVE DONE EXCEEDINGLY ABUNDANTLY BEYOND ALL THAT

WE COULD ASK OR THINK. SO WE ARE BELIEVING NOW THAT THE

MANIFESTATION IMMEDIATELY IS COMING TO US, FOR US. AND

LORD, THERE IS A MOMENT THAT WE REFLECT IN YOUR GOODNESS,

IN YOUR FAITHFULNESS, THE POWER, LORD GOD, WHO COULD

CAUSE THE PLANETS TO BE PUT IN THE UNIVERSE THROUGH THE

WORD OF YOUR POWER. YOU'RE THE SAME GOD, CAN DO GREAT

WORKS, IMMEDIATE WORKS FOR US. AND THIS IS WHAT WE PRAY

NOW. AND EVERYBODY SAID IN JESUS' NAME, AMEN. NOW, GIVE

THAT PERSON A BIG HUG. IN FACT, THAT WOULD BE A GREAT

PLACE TO JUST, WHILE YOU'RE AT IT, JUST GO AHEAD AND

GREET ONE ANOTHER. WHY DON'T YOU DO THAT? FIND SOMEBODY

WHO'S STANDING. IF YOU SEE SOMEBODY BY THEMSELVES, JUST

GO OVER, COME ON A CHURCH, GO OUTSIDE OF YOUR SEAT,

YOUR CHAIR, GREET ONE ANOTHER. WE GREET THOSE OF

YOU ALSO THAT ARE WATCHING. WE THANK YOU FOR YOUR

FAITHFULNESS EVERY WEEK. AND THOSE OF YOU, MAYBE YOU'RE

NEW TODAY, LISTEN, GOD IS FOR YOU. AND IF GOD IS FOR

YOU, THERE IS NOTHING AND NO ONE THAT CAN BE AGAINST YOU.

WE CALL YOU BLESSED TODAY AND HIGHLY FAVORED OF THE LORD.

(SOFT MUSIC)

- WELL, GOOD MORNING, CHURCH. I'VE GOT MY BEAUTIFUL DAUGHTER

WITH ME THIS MORNING. (CONGREGATION APPLAUDING)

AND GAME CHANGERS THIS PAST WEEK WAS DOWN AT UNO WITH A

VIGIL FOR CHARLIE KIRK. WATCH THIS SHORT VIDEO THAT KIND OF

SHOWS YOU WHAT HAPPENED.

(GOD BLESS THE USA BY LEE GREENWOOD PLAYING)

[APPLAUSE]

- I THINK WE OUGHT TO TAKE A MOMENT AND STAND AND JUST

GIVE HONOR WHERE HONORS DO. HALLELUJAH.

[APPLAUSE]

YES, LET'S APPLAUD BOLDLY THE LIFE OF A MAN WHO WORKED

HARD TO REFORM THIS COUNTRY. LET ME PRAY FOR A MOMENT.

FATHER, WE JUST THANK YOU AS WE STAND HERE TODAY IN A

MOMENT OF TRIBUTE TO THE LIFE AND LEGACY OF CHARLIE

KIRK AND WHAT HE DID FOR THIS COUNTRY. FATHER, FIRST

OF ALL, TO STAND FOR HIS FAITH. FATHER, TO STAND FOR

THE TRUTH OF YOUR WORD THAT IS BOLDLY WRITTEN. AND

FATHER, WE JUST WANT TO SAY THAT WE ARE THANKFUL THAT

YOU'RE GIVING ALL OF US AN OPPORTUNITY TO PICK UP THE

TORCH, TO CARRY IT, TO BE BEACONS OF LIGHT. JESUS, YOU

COMMANDED US TO BE SALT AND LIGHT IN THE EARTH. AND SO

WE SAY YES TO THAT COMMISSION. LORD, WE PRAY

FOR ERICA KIRK, THEIR TWO CHILDREN, THE ENTIRE TURNING

POINT USA FAMILY, AND FATHER, ALL OF THEIR STAFF

AND TEAM AS THEY NAVIGATE THE DAYS AHEAD. AND LORD, WE

JUST SAY THAT WE'RE WITH THEM, THAT WE WILL DO OUR PART TO

BRING THE TRUTH OF YOUR WORD TO THIS NATION AND TO THE NATIONS

OF THE WORLD. WE THANK YOU FOR IT, IN JESUS' NAME, AMEN. AMEN.

(CONGREGATION APPLAUDING) AMEN, PASTOR MATT,

SO ELABORATE A LITTLE BIT ON THAT EVENT DOWN THERE.

- YOU KNOW, IT WAS TRULY, FIRST OF ALL, CHARLIE IS A LEGEND AND

SOMEBODY THAT - YOU CAN BE SEATED.

YOU KNOW, TRUTHFULLY, WHAT I TOLD THE STUDENTS

AT UNO AND OTHER PEOPLE THAT REALLY CAME TO HONOR

HIS LEGACY AND HIS LIFE IS THAT AFTER THESE EVENTS

THAT TRANSPIRED, HONESTLY, NOW IS TIME FOR PEOPLE

TO HAVE THE TURNING POINT IN THEIR LIFE TO SAY,

HEY, IF I HAVEN'T USED MY VOICE BEFORE, NOW IS THE

TURNING POINT TO START DOING SO. AMEN. AND, YOU KNOW,

THAT SIGN THAT YOU SAW WITH THE WE ARE CHARLIE, YOU

KNOW, I TALKED TO THAT GUY AND HIS NAME IS CEDRIC AND

NEVER MET HIM BEFORE. AND HE GOES, YOU KNOW, CHARLIE JUST

INSPIRED ME SO MUCH TO SAY, I'VE GOT TO GO OUT THERE AND

START STANDING FOR TRUTH. AND HE GOES, YOU KNOW, I

DON'T EVEN REALLY LEAN A PARTICULAR PARTY. HE'S LIKE

DEMOCRAT OR REPUBLICAN. HE GOES, I JUST LIKE TO STAND

FOR THINGS THAT HAVE TO DO WITH JESUS AND THE BIBLE,

WHICH I GUESS IN A WAY IS MORE CONSERVATIVE AND

REPUBLICAN. AND SO HE GOES, I'VE STOOD OUT THERE, AND HE

GOES, YOU KNOW, THERE WAS A LOT OF SUPPORT. HE SAID THEY

WERE OUT IN PAPILLION NEAR A FAIRWAY, AND HE SAID SOME

PEOPLE WERE DRIVING BY AND CURSING US OUT AND, YOU

KNOW, MAKING A SCENE, BUT THEN HE GOES, OTHER PEOPLE

REALLY CAME AND JUST SUPPORTED BECAUSE I REALLY

BELIEVE THOUSANDS OF CHARLIE KIRKS HAVE JUST WOKEN UP NOW

AND SAID, NOW IS MY TURN. IT'S MY TURNING POINT NOW.

AND SO IT WAS TRULY AMAZING AND WE PRAYED FOR PEOPLE, WE

MINISTERED TO PEOPLE, AND I TRULY BELIEVE THAT THAT IS

THE LEGACY AND REALLY WHAT CHARLIE KIRK WOULD WANT

RIGHT NOW AND GOING FORWARD IS, HEY, CARRY THE TORCH OF

GETTING SOULS TO THE KINGDOM. CARRY THE TORCH FOR

FIGHTING FOR TRUTH IN AMERICA, FOR THE CHILDREN,

FOR THE SCHOOLS, ET CETERA, RIGHT? FOR THE CHURCHES

THAT, GUESS WHAT? OUR VOICE WILL NOT BE SILENCED. I

DON'T CARE WHAT YOU TRY TO DO, WE ARE NOT GONNA BE

SILENT. WE ARE GONNA STAND FOR THIS COUNTRY. WE'RE

GONNA STAND FOR THE CROSS. WE'RE NOT GONNA KNEEL FOR

THE FLAG. COME ON, ABORTION, NO. WE ARE PRO-LIFE IN THIS

COUNTRY, AMEN. WE BELIEVE MEN AND WOMEN GET MARRIED,

OKAY? NOT A MAN AND A MAN, NOT A WOMAN AND A WOMAN. AND

WE STAND FOR TRUTH AND BIBLICAL FOUNDATIONS. THAT

IS THE LEGACY CHARLIE KIRK LEFT. AND I HONESTLY HAVE TO

GIVE CREDIT TO BECAUSE WHAT HE DID TO GET TRUMP BACK IN

THE WHITE HOUSE TOO. PASTOR ANTHONY AND I WERE HAVING

THIS CONVERSATION. I MEAN, CHARLIE IS THE ONE

RESPONSIBLE FOR TALKING TO BARRON TRUMP ABOUT GETTING

THAT YOUNGER GENERATION AND THE YOUNGER GENERATION TO

VOTE FOR PRESIDENT TRUMP AND BEAR IN TO USE HIS VOICE.

WHAT CHARLIE DID IN HIS REFORMATION PROCESS, I THINK

SO MANY PEOPLE DON'T UNDERSTAND THE MAGNITUDE OF

WHAT THAT MAN LEFT IN HIS LEGACY. AND IT IS OUR JOB

NOW, AS HE STEPPED INTO HEAVEN AND PASSED THAT

TORCH, WE NEED TO CARRY THAT. AMEN. BODY OF CHRIST,

IT IS TIME NOW FOR THE TURNING POINT. IF YOU HAVE

NOT USED YOUR VOICE BEFORE, NOW'S THE TURNING POINT IN

YOUR LIFE TO SAY, I'M USING MY VOICE NOW IN JESUS' NAME.

- WELL, AND I'LL JUST UNDERSCORE WHAT YOU SAID,

PASTOR MATT, IS, YOU KNOW, AND USING OUR VOICE, TO

PASTOR HANK'S POINT, IT'S NOT JUST GETTING ON AND

BEING A KEYBOARD WARRIOR, BUT IT'S JUST STANDING IN

YOUR OWN SPHERE OF INFLUENCE FOR BIBLICAL VALUES. I THINK

THE WHOLE CHARLIE KIRK AND TRUMP, YOU KNOW, THING, IT'S

ABOUT WHAT ARE WE GONNA DO TO ENSURE THAT THE BIBLICAL

VALUES THAT WE ALL HOLD DEAR ON MORAL ISSUES IS GOING TO

BE MAINTAINED IN THIS COUNTRY. WE HAVE THE

OPPORTUNITY TO LET LEFTISTS TAKE IT AWAY, PEOPLE THAT

ARE STANDING FOR EVERYTHING THAT OPPOSES THE WORD OF

GOD, OR WE HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO GET BEHIND

AND STAND WITH THOSE WHO STAND FOR THE TRUTH. AND SO

THAT'S WHY WE HONOR THAT LEGACY. AND AS FAR AS YOUR

DAD AND I ARE CONCERNED, IT IS OUR PRIVILEGE TO STAND

BOLDLY FOR THE TRUTHS OF GOD'S WORD.

- I MEAN, AND SO MUCH SO THAT YOU GUYS EVEN OPENED

THE DOORS FOR CHARLIE TO COME HERE RIGHT BEFORE THE

ELECTION AND SAID, YOU KNOW WHAT, WE'RE TRYING TO BRING

A CHANGE IN THE VOTING SYSTEM WITH THE ELECTORAL

COLLEGE, YOU KNOW, NEBRASKA AND MAINE OBVIOUSLY HAVE

THAT SPLIT ELECTORAL COLLEGE. AND CHARLIE REALLY

GOT BEHIND THIS. AND PRESIDENT TRUMP, I MEAN, IT

WAS SO BIG EVEN THAT DONALD TRUMP JR. TWEETED ABOUT IT

AND PUT OUR CHURCH OUT THERE. IT WAS REALLY COOL.

BUT, YOU KNOW, CHARLIE, I MEAN, HE'S YOUNGER THAN ME.

I JUST TURNED 32. HE WAS ABOUT TO BE 32 HERE IN A FEW

WEEKS. AND WATCHING WHAT THAT MAN DID, AND HE'S MY

AGE, GEN Z AND MILLENNIALS, WE NEED TO STEP UP. IT'S OUR

DUTY NOW. AND WE'RE GETTING BEHIND TPUSA OMAHA AND

SAYING, YOU KNOW WHAT, WHATEVER YOU NEED, WHATEVER

WE CAN DO, WE'VE GOT SOME CONNECTIONS. WE'VE HAD A

COUPLE OF TPUSA GUYS OUT IN PHOENIX ON THE GAME CHANGERS

SHOW BEFORE. AND SO WE'RE REALLY ASKING, HEY, WHAT CAN

WE DO TO GET BEHIND YOU GUYS AND, YOU KNOW, ERICA KIRK

RIGHT NOW AND REALLY KEEP THIS LEGACY PUSHING FORWARD

BECAUSE WE CANNOT STOP. THE DISCIPLES DIDN'T STOP WHEN

STEPHEN WAS KILLED AND JAMES WAS KILLED. NO, THEY KEPT

GOING. THE WHOLE BOOK OF ACTS WAS ABOUT THE PROCESS

AND CONTINUING THE LEGACY. OKAY, THE DISCIPLES HAD A

CHOICE EVEN WHEN JESUS DIED AND RESURRECTED AND ASCENDED

INTO HEAVEN TO SAY, "ALL RIGHT, OUR JOB IS DONE." NO,

THE WHOLE BOOK OF ACTS, I MEAN, LOOK AT PAUL. HE WROTE

LITERALLY TWO-THIRDS, I MEAN, OF THE NEW TESTAMENT.

AND HE HAD EVERY CHOICE. HE WAS STANDING THERE WHEN

STEPHEN GOT STONED. AND ONE THING YOU AND I TALKED ABOUT

IS WHEN STEPHEN SAID, AND THIS IS WHAT CHARLIE, I

KNOW, WOULD SAY, BECAUSE I'VE BEEN AROUND HIM. HE'S

AN AMAZING PERSON. WHEN STEPHEN WAS GETTING STONED

AND HE SAID, "LET THIS SIN NOT BE USED AGAINST THEM."

THAT RIGHT THERE WAS THE WORDS, IN MY OPINION, THAT

TRANSITIONED THE SAUL TO PAUL ON THE ROAD TO

DAMASCUS. HOW MANY SAUL'S JUST TRANSFERRED TO PAUL IN

THIS WORLD BECAUSE OF CHARLIE'S LEGACY? AMEN.

THANK YOU FOR THAT. AND I WILL SAY AS WE'RE CLOSING

AND WE'RE GOING TO MOVE TO THE OFFERING,

GET PASTOR UP TO PREACH. PASTOR ANTHONY, PASTOR MATT,

BOTH OF YOU HAVE HAD SUCH A HEART FOR THE MILLENNIALS.

AND I'M JUST GOING TO PROPHESY TO YOU BOTH, THIS

GENERATION OF YOUNG PEOPLE, IT WILL NOT BE LOST. AMEN.

IT'S NOT. AMEN? AMEN. THANK YOU, PASTOR MATT, FOR THAT.

I APPRECIATE THAT. AMEN. WE JUST WANT TO TAKE A MOMENT

AND GIVE A SPECIAL TRIBUTE. WELL, WE'RE GOING TO GET

READY TO RECEIVE THE OFFERING, BUT BEFORE WE DO,

I JUST WANT TO GIVE ONE MORE SHOUT OUT AND WELCOME TO ANY

OF OUR FIRST TIME GUESTS THAT ARE HERE TODAY. LET'S

GIVE ALL OF THEM A HAND. ANYBODY, THIS IS THEIR FIRST

TIME AT LORD OF HOSTS. WE ARE SO THANKFUL FOR YOU. AND

OF COURSE, WE HAVE FREE MEALS FOR ANYBODY THAT IS A

FIRST TIMER HERE OUT IN THE AMAZING FOOD TRUCKS. THEY

CAN GET A COUPON OUT IN THE FOYER, PASTOR DOUG, YOU'LL

HAVE THAT, AS WELL AS YOU CAN GET YOUR BLUE GUEST BAG

THAT IS THERE AS ALSO. AND THEN IF YOU ARE JOINING US

FOR THE FIRST TIME AND YOU COME BACK NEXT WEEK, WE HAVE

A LUNCHEON FOR YOU. SO THERE'LL BE INFORMATION AND

THEY CAN GET MORE INFO ABOUT THAT IN THE FOYER. I THINK

THEY HAVE A SLIDE UP THERE. SO THAT'LL BE NEXT SUNDAY.

SO IF YOU SAY, "MAN, LORD OF HOSTS IS SO COOL. I'M COMING

BACK ANOTHER ROUND." WELL, THERE WON'T BE FOOD TRUCKS,

BUT THERE WILL BE A LUNCHEON FOR YOU. SO I ALWAYS SAY

THIS TO PEOPLE, "YOU KNOW, WE HAVE SO MUCH FOOD THAT

GOES ON AROUND HERE." I SAY, "WE'RE A CHURCH. WE SHOULD

FEED PEOPLE'S SPIRIT, SOUL, AND BODY. SO WE'LL HAVE

LUNCH FOR YOU." SO LET'S JUST GIVE ONE MORE HONOR TO

ALL OF OUR GUESTS. AND THEN LAST BUT NOT LEAST, FOR

THOSE OF YOU THAT ATTENDED OPENING THE HEAVENS, I JUST

WANT TO REMIND ALL OF YOU ONLINE, THOSE OF YOU IN THE

ROOM, IF YOU WERE DOWN WITH US AT THE ARENA AT THE

MID-AMERICA CENTER LAST WEEKEND, ALL OF THOSE

SERVICES ARE NOW AVAILABLE ON OVTV. SO GO TO

ONEVOICETV.NET, THAT IS OUR TELEVISION NETWORK, WHERE WE

CANNOT BE CANCELED, AS MS. KATIE SAID. SO GO OUT THERE,

CHECK ALL THOSE OUT. IF YOU WANT TO RE-WATCH SOMETHING

THAT WAS EPIC IN THE MOMENT, I MEAN, THERE WAS SO MUCH

THAT HAPPENED. AND SO GET OUT THERE, ONEVOICETV.NET

AND CHECK THOSE OUT AS WELL. AMEN. ALL RIGHT, WELL, LET'S

PUT OUR OFFERING SCRIPTURE UP FOR TODAY AND I'M NOT

GOING TO TAKE TOO LONG. I WANT TO GIVE PASTOR THE

OPPORTUNITY. NOW THIS IS A FAMILIAR SCRIPTURE AND YOU

KNOW, A LOT OF THESE SCRIPTURES WE KNOW, WE'VE

READ THEM AGAIN AND AGAIN, BUT SOMETIMES YOU GOT TO

PULL OUT ONE LITTLE PHRASE IN THERE, AND THIS IS WHAT

CAME TO ME IN MY PRAYER TIME THIS MORNING. MALACHI 3 IN

VERSE 10, YOU KNOW IT, BRINGING ALL THE TITHES INTO

THE STOREHOUSE, RIGHT? AND THIS IS THE LINE THAT I WANT

YOU TO HONE IN ON, THAT THERE MAY BE MEAT, SOMEBODY

SAY MEAT, OR SUBSTANCE, OR SUPPLY, THAT THERE WOULD BE

MEAT IN MY HOUSE. AND IT OCCURRED TO ME AS I WAS JUST

MEDITATING ON THIS VERSE THAT ONE OF OUR GREATEST

DESIRES AS CHRISTIANS, AS BELIEVERS, SHOULD BE THAT

THE HOUSES OF WORSHIP ARE SUPPLIED FOR. WE WANT THE

HOUSES TO BE MEATY PLACES. OKAY, YOU KNOW, IT'S

AMAZING, YOU KNOW, PEOPLE WILL MAKE, YOU KNOW, KIND OF

JOKES ABOUT, WELL, A MEGA CHURCH OR HAVE YOU, I MEAN,

HAVE YOU HEARD PEOPLE SAY THAT, YOU KNOW, THAT MEGA

CHURCH, I DON'T KNOW WHO STARTED THAT, BUT, AND I'M

LIKE, WELL, FIRST OF ALL, IN MY OPINION, IF THE HOUSES OF

GOD ARE WELL SUPPLIED FOR EVERY CHURCH, I'M BELIEVING

FOR IT TO BE A MEGA CHURCH. I WANT THERE TO BE GROWTH

AND HARVEST AND EXPANSION. I DON'T CARE IF IT'S A SMALL

TOWN IN THE MIDDLE OF NEBRASKA. I WANT IT TO BE A

MEGA MINISTRY, WHETHER IT'S LOCALLY OR ONLINE, IT GOES

AROUND THE WORLD. SO, YOU KNOW, I'M LIKE, LET CRITICS

KEEP PROPHESYING MEGA CHURCHES. I'M SAYING, AND

ACTUALLY, YOU KNOW, HISTORICALLY SCHOLARS WILL

TELL YOU THAT IN THE BOOK OF ACTS, THE CHURCH AT

JERUSALEM ACTUALLY GREW TO LIKE A HUNDRED THOUSAND

MEMBERS. THINK ABOUT THAT. AND SO THEY WERE THE FIRST

MEGA CHURCH. GOD DOESN'T MIND MEGA MINISTRY. AND YOU

KNOW, PEOPLE, WELL, YOU KNOW, PEOPLE DON'T COMPLAIN

IF IT'S MEGA DISNEY OR, YOU KNOW, MEGA CRUISE SHIP.

WHAT'S THAT HUGE CRUISE SHIP THEY HAVE NOW? THEY CALL IT,

HUH? I DON'T KNOW. THERE'S SOME MASSIVE CRUISE SHIP.

AND SO, YOU KNOW, NOBODY COMPLAINS MEGA, YOU KNOW,

SPORTING EVENT OR MEGA, YOU KNOW. SO, BUT I THINK WE

OUGHT TO TAKE THAT BACK BY FAITH AND SAY, "NO, LORD,

LET THE CHURCHES AND THE HOUSES OF WORSHIP IN

AMERICA, COME ON, IN OMAHA, NEBRASKA, CHURCHES THAT ARE

PREACHING THE TRUTH, COME ON, I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT

WOKE, I'M TALKING ABOUT CHURCHES THAT PREACH THE

TRUE GOSPEL, THAT PREACH JESUS AS LORD, COME ON, THAT

HE'S STILL THE SAVIOR, HE'S STILL THE MASTER, THAT THEY

PREACH THE MORAL TRUTHS OF THE SCRIPTURE. OUR GREATEST

DESIRE SHOULD BE THAT THOSE CHURCHES BECOME MASSIVE AND

THERE IS MEAT IN THE HOUSE OF THE LORD. SO, YOU KNOW, I

REFLECTED IN MY OWN HEART, I THOUGHT, WELL GOD, YOU KNOW,

BECAUSE THE BIBLE SAYS SO MUCH ABOUT TITHING AND

GIVING. IT TALKS ABOUT, YOU KNOW, THE BLESSINGS OF

GIVING. IT TALKS ABOUT GIVING TO GOD. IT TALKS

ABOUT GIVING TO THE POOR. HE THAT GIVES TO THE POOR LENDS

TO THE LORD AND THE LORD WILL REPAY HIM AGAIN, THE

WORD SAYS. GIVEN IT SHALL BE GIVEN BACK TO YOU, GOOD

MEASURE, PRESSED DOWN, SHAKEN TOGETHER. THE BIBLE

SAYS THAT GOD WILL MAKE SURE IN THE ATMOSPHERE OF GIVING,

TITHES AND OFFERINGS, THAT YOU SHALL HAVE ALL

SUFFICIENCY IN ALL THINGS, 2 CORINTHIANS CHAPTER 9. SO

2 Corinthians 9 · chapter mention

THE WORD GOES ON AND ON. I READ IT LAST WEEK, HEBREWS 7

AND VERSE 8, "HEAR MEN THAT DIE, RECEIVE TITHES, BUT

THERE IT IS WITNESSED THAT HE RECEIVES THEM WHO IS

STILL ALIVE." THERE ARE SO MANY VERSES AND VERSES AND

VERSES ABOUT GIVING, BUT THEN I REFLECTED IN MYSELF

AND I SAID, "WELL, LORD, MY GOAL THOUGH SHOULD BE THAT

THERE IS MEAT IN YOUR HOUSE, THAT THE HOUSES OF GOD ARE

WELL SUPPLIED FOR." I FEEL LIKE CHURCHES OUGHT TO BE

THE MOST BEAUTIFUL BUILDINGS. THAT'S WHY I'M SO

THANKFUL THIS BEAUTIFUL BUILDING. YOU KNOW, I DON'T

WANT THE CHURCH TO BE THE CHURCH WITH THE SAGGING

CEILING TILES AND STAINED FLOORS, AND WHILE THE

WORLDLY ONES HAVE ALL OF THE GOOD STUFF. NO, COME ON,

IT'S TIME TO SHIFT THAT IN JESUS' NAME AND LET THE

CHURCH HAVE THE INFLUENCE. COME ON, IT SHOULDN'T BE THE

SOROSES OF THE WORLD THAT GET TO INFLUENCE. IT OUGHT

TO BE THOSE OF US THAT KNOW THE TRUTH. HALLELUJAH. AND

WE HAVE THE WORD OF LIFE. AND SO GOD SAID, BRING ALL

THE TIES THAT THERE MAY BE MEAT. SOMEBODY SAY MEAT OR

SUPPLY IN MY HOUSE. AND THAT SHOULD BE OUR GOAL. YOU

KNOW, I WANT THE QUEEN OF SHEBA'S OF THE WORLD RIGHT

TO COME IN LIKE THEY DID THE TEMPLE OF SOLOMON GO, WOW,

THERE'S SOMETHING HERE, NOT JUST BECAUSE THEY SEE A

BEAUTIFUL BUILDING, BUT THEIR SUPPLY BY WAY OF THE

ANOINTING. COME ON, THE WORD GOING FORTH. THAT'S WHAT WE

NEED TO DO. AND THAT'S OUR GOAL WHEN WE GIVE TODAY. HOW

MANY OF YOU CAN SAY AMEN TO THAT? ALL RIGHT, LET'S PUT

THE GIVING INFORMATION UP ON THE SCREEN. WE'RE GOING TO

GET PASTOR UP TO PREACH. WE'RE NOT GOING TO KEEP YOU

FOREVER TODAY BECAUSE I WANT TO MAKE SURE YOU DIDN'T COME

FOR PIZZA, RIGHT? IT CAME FOR THE PIZZA OF GOD'S WORD,

I GUESS. I DON'T KNOW. I DON'T MEAN THAT IN A

SACRILEGIOUS WAY, BUT WE'RE GONNA HEAR THE WORD, THE

MEAT OF THE WORD FIRST, AND THEN WE'RE GONNA GO HAVE

SOME FUN OUTSIDE. BUT THERE'S ALL THE WAYS TO

GIVE, TEXT TO GIVE. THANK YOU FOR ALL OF YOU THAT DO

THAT ONLINE, AS WELL AS THOSE OF YOU AROUND THE

WORLD WHO GIVE THROUGH THE MOBILE APP, AND OF COURSE

OUR WEBSITE, YOU CAN DO THAT, OR YOU CAN PUT YOUR

PHONE UP ON THE SCREEN. THERE'S A QR CODE THERE

THAT'LL TAKE YOU TO THE GIVING PAGE FOR THE

MINISTRY. AND THANK YOU FOR ALL OF YOU THAT CONTINUE TO

SUPPLY FOR THIS BEAUTIFUL BUILDING. WE'RE BELIEVING A

TOTAL PAYOFF OF ALL THE BILLS CONNECTED TO IT. SO WE

JUST WANNA SAY THANK YOU FOR YOUR FAITHFULNESS TO

CONTINUE TO BUILD UP OUR BUILDING PROJECT AS WE

FINISH OUT 2025. ISN'T IT HARD TO BELIEVE WE'RE COMING

TO THE END OF 2025? IT'S CRAZY. SO IT'S A GOOD

OPPORTUNITY TO END IT ON A REALLY HIGH NOTE. SO THANK

YOU. AND LASTLY, I JUST WANNA SAY ALL OF YOU WHO

GIVE VIA THE MAIL, WHO SEND IN YOUR TITHES, YOUR GIFTS,

YOUR OFFERINGS THROUGH CONVENTIONAL MAIL, THANK YOU

SO MUCH AS WELL. WE ARE SO HONORED AND WE THANK YOU FOR

IT. BY THE WAY, I WANNA MENTION ONE OTHER THING. I

NEVER THINK TO SAY THIS UP HERE, BUT LORD OF HOSTS ALSO

HAS ACH OPPORTUNITY, AND IT ACTUALLY IS A LITTLE CHEAPER

THAN ALL THE CREDIT CARD FEES. SO JUST THROWING THAT

OUT IF SOME OF YOU WANNA GO THAT ROUTE AS WELL. SO, ALL

RIGHT, WELL, WHEN YOU HAVE YOUR GIVING READY, STAND UP

ON YOUR FEET. PASTOR, YOU'RE GONNA BE ABLE TO PREACH A

LONG ONE TODAY. ARE YOU EXCITED ABOUT THAT? WE'RE

EXCITED TO RECEIVE IT. OKAY, I'M JUST GONNA GIVE YOU A

LITTLE, BEFORE WE PRAY, I'M GONNA GIVE YOU JUST A LITTLE

HINT. HE GAVE, CAN I JUST GIVE HIM A HINT? HE GAVE US

A SCRIPTURE THAT LIVE STREAMING IS IN THE BIBLE.

INTERNET, NOW YOU'RE GONNA APPRECIATE THIS, THAT LIVE

STREAMING IS IN THE BIBLE. HOW MANY OF YOU REMEMBER

JESUS OR PASTOR TOLD YOU JESUS IS A CORN HUSKER? AND

HE HAD SCRIPTURE FOR IT. LUKE 6, ONE THAT JESUS AND

THE DISCIPLES WALKED THROUGH THE FIELDS AND THEY HUSKED

THE CORN. SO THAT MAKES HIM A CORN HUSKER. I THINK AFTER

YESTERDAY, NOBODY WANTS TO BE ONE ANYMORE, BUT THAT'S

OKAY. BUT NO, THIS IS A REALLY GOOD VERSE. THAT WAS

JUST ONE OF PASTOR'S PUNNY FUNNIES, BUT THIS IS ONE OF

THE REAL VERSES THAT LIVE STREAMING'S IN THE

SCRIPTURE. SO INTERNET, YOU BETTER STAY TUNED AND LISTEN

TO THIS. AMEN? ALL RIGHT, HOLD THOSE GIFTS UP REAL

HIGH. HOLD UP YOUR PHONE, HOLD UP YOUR ENVELOPE.

INTERNET, YOU JOIN WITH US AS WELL. I'LL JUST HOLD IT

UP LIKE THAT. FATHER, I THANK YOU FOR EVERY GIVER

THAT'S HOLDING UP THEIR GIFTS AND FAITH. WE THANK

YOU, LORD, THAT THERE IS MEAT AND SUPPLY IN YOUR

HOUSE. WE BELIEVE YOU FOR IT. WE HONOR YOU FOR IT. WE

THANK YOU, LORD. LET THIS NEXT SEASON OF THE BODY OF CHRIST

BE A SEASON WHERE CHURCHES BECOME MEGA. THEY GROW, THEY

EXPAND, AND THEY DEVELOP A NEW AND FRESH INFLUENCE IN THE

EARTH. AND WE THANK YOU FOR IT IN JESUS' MIGHTY NAME. ALL

RIGHT, PASTOR MATT, LET'S DO OUR DECLARATION.

- THANK YOU, PASTOR BRENDA. LET'S DECREE THIS TOGETHER,

CHURCH, AND BELIEVE IT OVER YOUR LIFE PERSONALLY AS

WELL. IN JESUS' NAME. WE DECLARE THE CAMPUS AND

MINISTRY OF LORD OF HOSTS CHURCH SHALL BE INCREASED,

EXPANDED, AND DEBT-FREE. WE DECREE IT SHALL HAPPEN

WITHOUT DELAY. WE SAY TO EVERY HEAVENLY ASSIGNMENT,

FINANCES NEEDED FOR THE LORD IS BUILDING THIS HOUSE. WE

EXPANDED NOW. NOW I WANT YOU TO SAY, THANK YOU, CHARLIE. THANK

YOU, CHARLIE. AMEN, AND LET'S WELCOME PASTOR HANK.

- ALL RIGHT, THANK YOU. GOD BLESS YOU AS YOU GIVE TODAY.

AND WE ARE SO GRATEFUL YOU CAN GO AHEAD AND BE SEATED

US, OR YOU CAN SERVE THE PEOPLE. AND WOW, A LOT TO

TALK ABOUT TODAY. AND AGAIN, WE THANK YOU FOR YOUR

GIVING. YOU KNOW, I WAS JUST THINKING, BRENDA, MAYBE

JESUS IS, YOU KNOW, 'CAUSE LUKE CHAPTER SIX, VERSE ONE,

OUT OF THE KING JAMES SAYS THAT THE DISCIPLES WENT WITH

JESUS INTO THE CORNFIELDS AND THEY HUSHED THE CORN.

THAT'S WHAT IT SAYS. BUT AFTER YESTERDAY'S GAME, I

THINK JESUS MIGHT BE A LION FAN OR SOMETHING. YOU KNOW

WHAT I MEAN? I DON'T KNOW. I DON'T KNOW. SO ANYWAY, HEY,

I DO WANNA MAKE ONE ANNOUNCEMENT OUTSIDE OF THAT

WE'LL BE ON FLASHPOINT TUESDAY. WE ARE GOING TO DO

KIND OF A LAST MINUTE PROPHETIC PULSE, ANTHONY,

PASTOR ANTHONY, I DON'T KNOW IF YOU KNOW THAT OR NOT.

JUST FOUND OUT. PASTOR ANTHONY, STAND UP AND WAVE

AT EVERYBODY SO THEY CAN SEE. HE DOES A GOOD JOB. SO

YOU CAN, SUNIL SENT ME A PROPHECY THAT WAS RELATED.

YEAH, SO YOU COULD PUT THAT ONE IN THERE. BUT ANYWAY,

WE'RE GONNA DO A SHORTER VERSION OF A PROPHETIC PULSE

WEDNESDAY. HOW MANY WOULD LIKE THAT? THERE ARE A LOT

OF PROPHECIES THAT, AND THERE'S ONE SPECIFIC

PROPHECY THAT WE'RE GONNA LOOK AT TOO, THAT I THINK IT

COULD RELATE, AND WE'LL LET 'EM KIND OF GET THERE AND

THEY CAN SEE IT. BUT HOW MANY WOULD LIKE A PROPHETIC

PULSE? I KNOW I ALREADY ASKED YOU, BUT I THINK IT

WOULD BE GOOD. THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE WATCHING ONLINE,

AND YOU SAY, "WELL, WHAT IS A PROPHETIC PULSE?" IT'S

WHERE WE TAKE A LOT OF THE PROPHETIC WORDS THAT GOD

SPEAKS AHEAD OF TIME, AND WE BREAK IT DOWN AND SEE WHAT

THE REDEMPTIVE MESSAGE IS. YOU KNOW, GOD'S MESSAGE OF

HOPE AND HELP, WHAT DOES IT MEAN? IT'S ONE THING TO HAVE

A PREDICTIVE NATURE ABOUT SOMETHING, BUT FOR WHAT,

WHAT'S THE PURPOSE? AND ALL OF YOU THAT ARE AFRAID OF

TOMORROW OR THE NEXT DAY THAT WE'RE GONNA GET

RAPTURED, I'LL SEE YOU NEXT SUNDAY HERE, FOR THOSE OF

YOU THAT WANT TO JOIN ME FOR CHURCH. NOT BECAUSE I'M

GONNA GET LEFT BEHIND. NEVERMIND, ALL RIGHT. BUT IT

IS GOOD TO BE BACK. LISTEN, I'VE BEEN OUT OF THE PULPIT

TWO WEEKS AGO. I TOOK ONE OF MY SUNDAYS AND I WENT UP TO

GREEN BAY AND THE PACKERS DID AMAZING UP THERE. SO I

KNOW YOU DON'T CARE, BUT ANYWAY, THEY DID GREAT. BUT

WHILE I WAS GONE, I HEARD THAT BRENDA TOLD THIS STORY.

WE HAVE THREE GERMAN SHEPHERDS AND A SHIH TZU.

HOW MANY OF YOU HAVE A DOG? YOU MAY HAVE A DOG. OH, I

THINK THAT, HOW MANY OF YOU HAVE CATS? WE HAVE PRAYER

FOR YOU AFTERWARDS. SO, I'M STILL NOT SURE I'M GONNA GET

A CAT, BUT ANYWAY, I'M HERE TO TELL YOU. BUT ANYWAY,

BRENDA TOLD YOU THIS STORY WHILE I WAS OUT OF TOWN OF

THE, NOW THE THREE GERMAN SHEPHERDS DIDN'T DO THIS,

BUT THE LITTLE SHIH TZU WENT OUT AND FOUND A BIRD AND

BROUGHT IT INTO HIS KENNEL. BRENDA CALLS ME UP, SHE'S

HYPERVENTILATING, THAT'S MY WIFE. "HANK, YOU WON'T BELIEVE

THE GROSSEST THING." I SAID, "WHAT, WHAT, WHAT?" "HERBIE,"

THAT'S HIS NAME, "BROUGHT A BIRD IN HIS KENNEL, "IT LOOKS

LIKE A CRIME SCENE." (CONGREGATION LAUGHING)

THERE WAS STUFF EVERYWHERE. I KNOW YOU'RE GETTING READY

TO EAT, YOU WANT ME TO REALLY TELL YOU WHAT IT WAS?

OKAY, SO ANYWAY, THERE WAS ALL, OKAY, SO WE'LL

JUST KIND OF KEEP IT G-RATED, LIKE NON-GORE, RIGHT? ANYWAY,

FEATHERS, EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE, AND SHE'S LIKE,

"HANK, YOU WOULDN'T BELIEVE IT." AND THEN

I STARTED, HOW DID YOU GET HIM TO VOMIT ALL THAT

STUFF UP? OH, SHE WAS WASHING HIS FACE, 'CAUSE YOU

KNOW, SHIH TZUS HAVE MUSTACHES, RIGHT? SO THOSE

OF YOU THAT HAVE MUSTACHES, YOU GOTTA MAKE SURE YOU WIPE

YOUR FACE. BUT ANYWAY, SO WHILE SHE WAS DOING THAT, HE

LUNGED UP ALL THE BIRD STUFF. AND SO, I'M LIKE, HE

DID NOT DO THAT. SHE'S LIKE, YES HE DID. SO HOW MANY OF

YOU HAVE A SHIH TZU? YOU DO? THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE

WATCHING, IF YOU'RE WATCHING, PUT YES, JUST

WRITE YES. SO YOU KNOW WHAT, SHE'S SENDING ME PICTURES OF

MY WIFE. I'M LIKE, BRENDA, THIS IS NOT TRUE. DO YOU

KNOW THAT SHIH TZUS ARE RELATED TO WOLVES? LOOK IT

UP. I DIDN'T BELIEVE IT. CAPTAIN, DID YOU KNOW THAT?

SO I HAVE NICKNAMED MY SHIH TZU FROM HERBIE TO WOLFIE.

(CONGREGATION LAUGHING) BUT I AM SO, AND THEN, YOU KNOW,

SO PASTOR BRENDA LAST WEEK WAS TALKING ABOUT HOW SHE

HAD TO, YOU KNOW, TAKE CARE OF THAT. AND THEN HOW MANY

OF YOU, DID YOU HEAR HER WOES ABOUT HAVING TO CLEAN

UP AFTER THE DOGS IN THE YARD? SO EVERYBODY DO THIS

FOR PASTOR BRENDA, YOU KNOW, EVERYBODY JUST DO THAT FOR

HER THERE. BUT IT IS GOOD TO BE BACK. AND, THEY WAIT. OH,

BRENDA, I JUST FELT LIKE GOD MIGHT HAVE HAD THAT FOR YOU

TO SEE WHAT YOUR HUSBAND DOES ON A DAILY BASIS.

(LAUGHING) ALL RIGHT, I WANNA WELCOME ALL OF YOU

THAT ARE HERE FOR BACK TO CHURCH. I KEPT CALLING IT

BACK TO SCHOOL AND THEY KEPT CORRECTING ME, YOU KNOW, BUT

BACK TO CHURCH. AND IT'S NOT THAT NECESSARILY THAT, YOU

KNOW, ANYBODY IS NOT, YOU KNOW, BEING PART OF CHURCH,

BUT IT'S JUST NICE TO HAVE YOU COME AND VISIT OUR

CHURCH TODAY. AND I GOTTA TELL YOU A STORY AT SOME

POINT, THE DAY WHERE I WAS TOLD THAT YOU HAVE TO BRING

SOMEBODY TO CHURCH. I'M GONNA TELL YOU MY STORY. HOW

MANY WOULD LIKE TO HEAR MY STORY? I'LL TELL YOU MY

STORY. I WILL FOR A COUPLE OF TACOS AND GELATO IF YOU

HAVE IT OUT IN THE PARKING LOT. ALL RIGHT, BUT I WANT

US TO DO THIS. I WANT US TO STAND, I'M GONNA READ THE

WORD FOR JUST A MOMENT. I KINDA LIKE THAT EVERY ONCE

IN A WHILE, I LIKE YOU TO STAND WHILE I READ THE WORD,

AND THEY'LL PUT IT UP ON THE SCREEN, AND THOSE OF YOU

THAT ARE WATCHING, THEY'LL PUT IT UP WHERE YOU CAN SEE

IT. BUT I WANNA READ OUT OF MATTHEW 22, OUT OF THE NEW

AMERICAN STANDARD. AND I REALLY BELIEVE THAT AS I

READ THIS OUT OF THE NEW AMERICAN STANDARD

TRANSLATION, THAT SOMEHOW THIS IS GONNA BECOME THE NEW

AMERICAN STANDARD. I BELIEVE IF WE WOULD DO THIS IN OUR

COUNTRY, WE WOULD HAVE A LOT OF LESS PROBLEMS, RIGHT?

AMEN, ALL RIGHT, HERE'S WHAT THE SCRIPTURE SAYS. SO IT

SAYS, "TEACHER, WHICH IS THE GREATEST COMMANDMENT "IN THE

WORD?" SO THIS IS WHAT THEY WERE COMING TO JESUS. AND

JESUS SAID UNTO THIS ONE, "YOU SHOULD LOVE THE LORD

YOUR GOD "WITH ALL YOUR HEART, ALL YOUR SOUL, "AND

WITH ALL YOUR MIND." THEN HE GOES ON AND SAYS, "THIS IS

THE GREAT AND THE FOREMOST COMMANDMENT." THE SECOND, SO

THERE'S THE SECOND COMMANDMENT, IS YOU SHOULD

LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOU LOVE YOURSELF. AND ON THESE

TWO COMMANDMENTS DEPEND THE WHOLE LAW AND ALL OF THE

PROPHETS. LET'S PRAY FOR A MINUTE. HEAVENLY FATHER, WE

THANK YOU TODAY AS WE THANK YOU THAT ACCORDING TO PSALM

22, WHEN JESUS WAS HANGING ON THE CROSS, THAT HE SANG

OF HIS CHURCH. HE COULDN'T WAIT TO DWELL AS IT WAS

BEING FORETOLD ABOUT HOW THEY WOULD PIERCE HIS HANDS

AND HIS FEET. THAT SAME PSALM GOES ON AND SAYS, HE

SANG A SONG IN THE MIDST OF HIS BRETHREN IN THE CHURCH,

BECAUSE HE LONGED TO BE WITH US AMONG US. AND LORD,

CHURCH IS REALLY ABOUT HIM AND US GATHERING TOGETHER TO

WORSHIP HIM AND TO LOVE ONE ANOTHER. AND WE THANK YOU.

BLESS THIS MESSAGE TODAY. AND EVERYBODY SAID? AMEN.

ALL RIGHT, YOU CAN BE SEATED. LOOK AT YOUR

NEIGHBOR, SMILE AT HIM, MAKE A FUNNY FACE. AMEN. TEST

YOUR LOVE ONE FOR ANOTHER. (LAUGHING) OKAY. BUT I WANT

US TO RE-LOOK AT THIS AGAIN IN MATTHEW 22. NOTICE IN

VERSE 36, THEY COME TO JESUS AND SAID, "JESUS, WHAT IS

THE GREATEST COMMANDMENT?" AND JESUS IMMEDIATELY STARTS

OFF AND SAYS, "YOU SHALL." IT WASN'T SUGGESTIVE. IT

WAS, "YOU WILL LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD." NOW YOU CAN'T

FORCE SOMEBODY TO LOVE YOU, RIGHT? IT HAS TO BE YOUR

CHOICE. BUT THIS IS WHAT IS ON THE HEART OF GOD. YOU

SHOULD HONOR THE LORD. YOU SHOULD LOVE HIM WITH

EVERYTHING INSIDE OF YOU. AND THEN BECAUSE YOU LOVE

GOD SO MUCH, IT OUGHT TO SPILL OUT AND THAT LOVE

OUGHT TO BE REFLECTED AND REVEALED TOWARDS OTHER

PEOPLE. AND NOTICE JESUS SAID, THESE ARE THE TWO

GREATEST COMMANDMENTS. NOW I WANT THEM TO PUT UP A

GRAPHIC BECAUSE WHEN I GREW UP AND WHEN I WENT TO SCHOOL

AND I'LL BE 60 IN MAY, I REMEMBER SEEING THESE ON THE

SCHOOL. RIGHT WHEN YOU CAME INTO THE SCHOOL, THEY WERE

RIGHT THERE. YOU CAME IN THE DOORS AND THEY WERE

LITERALLY ON A WALL AS YOU WOULD GO DOWN TO THE HALLWAY

RIGHT NEXT TO THE PRINCIPAL'S OFFICE. THIS WAS

A PUBLIC SCHOOL. THE 10 COMMANDMENTS WERE HUNG. I'LL

NEVER FORGET IT. AND THE REASON WHY I KNOW THAT TO BE

TRUE IS BECAUSE MY MOM, TALK ABOUT BACK TO CHURCH OR GO

TO CHURCH, MY MOM ON SUNDAYS WOULD TAKE ME TO CHURCH AND

SHE WOULD GO AND GET DONUTS WHILE SHE WOULD THEN GO TO

THE CHURCH. REMEMBER THAT, MOM? AND EVERY SUNDAY I'D

GET DONUTS. I'D GET THE SPRINKLED ONES. AND I LOVED

THAT MOM WOULD GO TO CHURCH. NOT BECAUSE OF WHAT I WAS

LEARNING, BUT BECAUSE OF THE DONUTS. THIS IS THE WAY I

GOT MY DONUTS, MAN. I'D BE LIKE, HEY, MOM. BUT WHEN I

WAS A LITTLE KID, AND THEN REMEMBER WHEN PALM SUNDAY

CAME AND THEY'D HAND YOU THE LITTLE GREEN CROSS. DID

Y'ALL REMEMBER THAT ON PALM SUNDAY? AT THE DOOR THEY'D

HAND YOU THE GREEN, RAISE YOUR HAND IF Y'ALL REMEMBER

THAT GROWING UP. AND I WOULD THINK, WHOA, THERE IS POWER

TO IT. YOU KNOW, I'M AN EIGHT TO NINE YEAR OLD KID,

PLUS I'M A CARTOONIST, SO I THINK IN A CARTOON MIND. AND

I WOULD LITERALLY GET IT ON PALM SUNDAY AND BY THE TIME

MAY WOULD ROLL AROUND, IT WOULD TURN YELLOW. AND I

WOULD THINK, THERE IS SOMETHING MIRACULOUS THAT IT

WENT FROM GREEN TO YELLOW. AND I'M LIKE, "I DON'T KNOW

IF I WOULD JUST GO OUT AND LOOK IN MY YARD AND NOT

WATER IT, I WOULD SEE THE SAME THING." RIGHT? BUT I

THOUGHT THERE WAS SOMETHING MIRACULOUS ABOUT THAT. AND

IT PRICKED MY HEART. THERE MUST BE SOMETHING ABOUT THIS

JESUS. THERE MUST BE SOMETHING ABOUT THIS CHURCH

THING. AND AS A YOUNG KID, AND I REMEMBER THE ACROLYTE

MOMENT. AND I REMEMBER I WAS THE GUY THAT COULDN'T GET

THE CANDLES LIT BECAUSE THE GUY BEFORE, THE WEEK BEFORE

SMASHED IT. YOU REMEMBER THAT? AND I'M OUT THERE LIKE

THIS AND THE PASTOR'S GOING AND THE SONG AND THE

ORGANIST IS PLAYING, DUN, DUN, DUN, DUN, WAITING FOR

FRANKENSTEIN TO SHOW UP. YOU KNOW, AND IT'S LIKE, YOU

KNOW. AND I'M OUT THERE. HOW MANY OF YOU ARE ACROLYTE? IS

THAT WHAT THEY CALL ACROLYTE? AND I'M ACROLYTE

AND I'M LIKE, I JUST WISH SOMEBODY WOULD COME. AND SO

THEN, YOU KNOW, THEY HAD TO SEND THE USHER UP WITH A

LITTLE, YOU KNOW, THING TO RELIGHT THE CANDLES AND MAKE

ME LOOK GOOD. BUT THAT WAS KIND OF MY CHURCH

EXPERIENCE, RIGHT? BUT I REMEMBER THE 10

COMMANDMENTS. I REMEMBER LEARNING THEM IN SCHOOL

EVEN. AND I LEARNED THEM IN CHURCH. AND I REMEMBER WE

HAD TO MEMORIZE. HOW MANY OF YOU, AND THOSE OF YOU THAT

ARE WATCHING, AND I'LL JUST BE HONEST, THAT YOU COULD

LITERALLY RECITE THE 10 COMMANDMENTS FROM HEART? HOW

MANY COULD DO IT? I COULD DO IT. I COULD DO IT. MOM,

WEREN'T THOSE SOME OF OUR COMMANDMENTS? I THINK YOU

HAD THEM NAILED UP IN MY, I THINK WHEN YOU WALKED IN OUR

HOUSE, I THINK THESE ARE THE COMMANDMENTS, RIGHT? RIGHT,

THOU SHALL DO THE DISHES, THOU SHALL MOW THE LAWN,

THOU SHALL PICK UP THE LAUNDRY, THOU SHALL, YOU

KNOW, THOU SHALL EAT AND FINISH YOUR FOOD, EVEN

BROCCOLI AND ALL THAT. AND THEN MY MOM WOULD MAKE THIS

NASTY, MOM, YOU REMEMBER THAT? YOU WOULD MAKE THIS

LIKE BREAD STUFF AND MIX TOMATOES IN WITH IT. AND IT

WOULD SMELL LIKE, NEVERMIND, MOM, WE'LL TALK ABOUT THAT

LATER, HUH? SHE SAID IT'S GOOD. MOM, I STILL DON'T

KNOW WHAT THEY CALL THAT. BREAD WITH TOMATOES, BUT SHE

HAD TO FEED NINE PEOPLE, SO YOU KNOW, I MEAN, WHATEVER

IT WAS, BUT I'VE NEVER HAD IT SINCE. BUT THE POINT WAS,

WE LIVED BY THE 10 COMMANDMENTS. NOW I WANT US

TO LOOK, AND I WANT THEM TO SEE AROUND THE WORLD. LOOK

AT THE 10 COMMANDMENTS. THOU SHALL HAVE NO OTHER GODS

BEFORE ME. THAT WAS THE FIRST COMMANDMENT. SECOND,

THOU SHALL NOT MAKE ANY GRAVEN IMAGE OR HAVE IDOLS.

THOU SHALL NOT TAKE THE NAME OF THE LORD GOD IN VAIN. NOW

STOP RIGHT THERE. I WAS UNDER A PREACHER, USED TO BE

THE PASTOR OF BELLEVUE CHRISTIAN CENTER HERE IN

OMAHA. I WAS MENTORED BY SAM MAYO, GREAT MAN. HE'S IN

HEAVEN NOW. AND YOU COULD NOT SAY IN HIS PRESENCE

ANYTHING THAT WOULD SOUND CLOSE, LIKE GOSH, AND THEN

USE THE WORD DARN. HE WOULD REBUKE YOU AND SAY, "HOW

DARE YOU REPLACE?" YOU'RE STILL SAYING THE SAME THING.

OR JIMINY, AND THEN PEOPLE WOULD SAY CRICKETS. HE WOULD

JUST GO LIVE IT. BECAUSE HE'S LIKE, "YOU KNOW WHAT?

"YOU SHOULD NEVER EVEN HAVE TO BE ANYTHING CLOSE. "GOD'S

NAME IS SO HOLLOW, HIS NAME IS SO HONORED, "YOU

SHOULDN'T EVER DO THAT." "BUT I KNOW CHRISTIANS THAT

TAKE THE LORD'S NAME IN VAIN." THAT SHOULD NEVER

EVER, AND LET ME ASK YOU A REAL QUESTION. DO YOU REALLY

WANT GOD TO DAMN SOMETHING? I MEAN, I DIDN'T CUSS, DON'T

WRITE ME AND SAY I DID THAT OR I'LL THINK YOU'RE A

DIPSTICK. NOW HERE'S THE THING, I DIDN'T CUSS, BUT

YOU SHOULD NEVER EVER USE THAT OUT OF YOUR MOUTH. AND

THEN JESUS WHO BLED AND DIED FOR US TO LITERALLY TAKE HIS

NAME IN VAIN, I THINK IT'S LIKE SLAPPING HIM IN THE

FACE AND SPITTING RIGHT IN HIS FACE LIKE THEY DID. YOU

SHOULD NEVER LET THAT FLY OUT OF YOUR MOUTH, NOT EVEN

BY ACCIDENT, AND YOU SHOULDN'T USE ANY

REPLACEMENTS. I'M JUST GONNA SET IT STRAIGHT, I DON'T

THINK YOU DO, I THINK IT'S DISHONORABLE. OKAY, LET'S GO

TO THE NEXT COMMANDMENTS, I KNOW YOU'RE NOT LIKING

THESE, BUT LET'S GO ON. NOW NOTICE THE NEXT ONE. LOOK AT

THIS ONE, WE'RE GONNA TALK ABOUT THIS ONE. REMEMBER THE

SABBATH DAY TO KEEP IT HOLY. NOW, IN THE OLD TESTAMENT,

THAT WAS A DAY OF REST. IN THE NEW TESTAMENT, IT WAS A

DAY OF ASSEMBLING, RIGHT? THEY WOULD GATHER THE FIRST

DAY OF THE WEEK, THE CHURCH, AND THEY WOULD GATHER AND

THEY WOULD ASSEMBLE. BUT THE POINT IS, THEY WOULD HAVE A

DAY THAT THEY WOULD REMEMBER GOD, AND THEY WOULD REMEMBER

ALL THAT GOD DID FOR THEM. THAT'S REALLY WHY WE SHOULD

COME TO CHURCH, IS GOD, WE'RE SO GRATEFUL, WE CAN'T

WAIT TO COME TOGETHER TO WORSHIP YOU AND HONOR YOU.

AND WE COULD DO THAT IN OUR HOME, BUT WE'RE TAKING THE

EXTRA STEPS. OR IF WE ARE IN OUR HOME, WE'RE TAKING THE

EXTRA STEPS TO WATCH THE SERVICE LIVE AND NOT JUST,

YOU KNOW, WAIT TILL AFTER WE SLEEP IN TILL NOON, HAVE OUR

BRUNCH AND THEN WATCH IT AT THREE O'CLOCK IN THE

AFTERNOON. I THINK WE NEED TO START SHOWING GOD THAT WE

ARE IN LOVE WITH HIM AND WE'RE WILLING TO TAKE THE

NEXT STEPS. SO WE'RE GONNA TALK ABOUT THIS ONE. THOU

SHOULD REMEMBER THE SABBATH, THERE, THOU SHOULD ASSEMBLE.

NOTICE THE OTHER ONE, HONOR THY FATHER AND MOTHER. NOW,

HERE'S HOW YOU COULD DIVIDE THE TWO COMMANDMENTS THAT

JESUS SAID. LOVE GOD, LOVE PEOPLE. NOTICE THE FIRST

FOUR THERE HAVE TO REALLY DO WITH GOD. IF YOU LOVE GOD,

YOU'RE NOT GONNA HAVE ANY OTHER GODS. IF YOU LOVE GOD,

YOU'RE NOT GONNA HAVE ANY GRAVEN IMAGES. IF YOU LOVE

GOD, YOU'RE NOT GONNA TAKE HIS NAME. IF YOU LOVE GOD,

YOU'RE GONNA RESPECT WHAT JESUS SAID AND SANG PSALM

22. HE SANG ABOUT DWELLING IN HIS CHURCH, BEING WITH

HIS CHURCH, BEING WITH HIS BROTHERS AND SISTERS. BUT

THEN IT GOES, HOW YOU TREAT OTHER PEOPLE. THAT WAS THE

SECOND COMMANDMENT. HONOR YOUR FATHER AND MOTHER, AND

NOTICE HOW HOLY THAT IS. HONOR YOUR FATHER AND

MOTHER. IT'S EVEN BEFORE KILLING SOMEBODY. IT'S EVEN

BEFORE COMMITTING ADULTERY, STEALING, BEARING FALSE

WITNESS, IS JUST HONOR YOUR MOM AND DAD. AND YOU KNOW,

THE BIBLE SAYS, WE TAUGHT OUR KIDS THIS IN EPHESIANS

6, WHEN THEY WERE LITTLE. CHILDREN, OBEY YOUR PARENTS.

HONOR YOUR MOTHER AND FATHER IN LORD, FOR THIS IS RIGHT,

THAT IT'LL BE WELL WITH YOU. WHY ARE WE SEEING A

GENERATION SO MIXED UP? WHY DO WE SEE A 22 YEAR OLD KID

DO WHAT HE DID? BECAUSE I BELIEVE SOMEWHERE IN HIS

LIFE THERE'S A DISHONOR SOMEWHERE, NOT ONLY TO GOD,

BUT A DISHONOR THREAD THAT SOMEHOW LEADS TO HIS

PARENTS. THE BIBLE SAYS IF YOU HONOR YOUR MOTHER AND

FATHER, IT'LL BE WELL WITH YOU AND YOU'LL LIVE LONG ON

THE EARTH. WHY IS YOUNG PEOPLE'S SUICIDE SO RAMPANT?

I THINK IT GOES BACK TO AN HONOR. NOW, PARENTS, LISTEN

TO ME. WHEN YOUR KID IS HAVING A TEMPER TANTRUM,

IT'S NOT THE TIME TO GIVE IN AND GIVE HIM A TIME OUT.

GIVE HIM A SPANKING. IT'S NOT TIME TO CATER TO

DISHONOR. THE KID CREATES A SCENE IN THE GROCERY STORE,

AND NOW YOU'RE MAD. NOW YOU JUST GOTTA HAND HIM WHATEVER

HE WANTS. YOU'RE SOWING DISHONOR IN YOUR KID.

SOMEWHERE YOU HAVE TO ESTABLISH. AND LET ME TELL

YOU SOMETHING ALSO. LISTEN TO ME, I KNOW THERE'S SOME

OF YOU THAT ARE WATCHING TODAY, AND I'M NOT SPEAKING

IN THIS SENSE BECAUSE IT'S HARD TO FIND A CHURCH. AND

IF I WAS IN YOUR SHOES, I WOULD WATCH THIS CHURCH TOO.

BUT WHAT I AM SAYING IS DON'T SLEEP IN. PARENTS THAT

SLEEP IN, YOU ARE SENDING BAD MESSAGES TO NOT ONLY

YOUR NEIGHBORS, BUT YOUR KIDS. YOU'RE SAYING THAT THE

SABBATH DAY OR THE DAY TO ASSEMBLE IS NOT IMPORTANT.

YOU'RE SAYING GOD'S NOT IMPORTANT. IF YOU DON'T GO

TO CHURCH, WE'RE REALLY SAYING TO A GENERATION, GOD

AND ASSEMBLING TOGETHER IS REALLY NOT AS IMPORTANT AS

GOING TO A MOVIE, A SOCCER GAME, A FOOTBALL GAME, OR

GOING TO SCHOOL. WHY IS IT THAT THE CHURCH ALWAYS HAS

TO BE ON THE BOTTOM OF THE LIST OF WHAT WE DEEM

IMPORTANT IN OUR COUNTRY, OR WHAT WE DEEM AS IMPORTANT IN

ASSEMBLING? SOMEHOW, OH, I'M NOT INTO THAT CHURCH THING.

I'M NOT INTO THAT GOD THING. I DON'T HAVE TIME TO GO TO

CHURCH. I DON'T HAVE TIME TO GET UP AT NINE O'CLOCK IN

THE MORNING AND GIVE SOME TIME TO GOD. IS THAT REALLY

WHAT WE'RE SAYING? AND IF IT'S WHAT WE'RE SAYING, WE

ARE SOWING DISHONOR, AND IT'S THE REASON, PUT THE

COMMANDMENTS BACK UP, THAT NOT ONLY ARE WE SEEING

DISHONORING OF FATHER AND MOTHER BUT WE'RE SEEING

MURDER. WE SAW AN ASSASSINATION LAST WEEK.

WHERE PEOPLE, AND THEN PEOPLE THAT ARE SICK, YES, I

WILL SAY SICK, IN THE MEDIA. YOU ARE SICK PREACHERS THAT

WOULDN'T EVEN MENTION IT. ANYBODY THAT GETS

ASSASSINATED, I DON'T CARE IF THEY'RE LIBERAL,

CONSERVATIVE, IN BETWEEN, I DON'T CARE IF THEY'RE BLACK,

WHITE, RED, YELLOW, SHOULD NEVER, EVER BE SOMETHING

THAT WE SUPPORT. IT IS DISGUSTING. AND I WANT TO

SEE THE SAME PREACHERS THAT STOOD UP AND MADE RUCKUS

ABOUT GEORGE FLOYD. AND YET YOU SAY NOTHING ABOUT THIS

MAN. YOU OUGHT TO BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELF. IT'S WHY OUR

COUNTRY IS BEING RULED BY A MINORITY OF PEOPLE, NOT

COLOR, BUT THE SMALL NUMBER OF PEOPLE THAT SEEM TO HAVE

THE LOUDEST VOICE THAT PERPETRATE THE WORST EVIL.

AND THE CHURCH DOESN'T ASSEMBLE. THE CHURCH IS

QUIET. PREACHERS ARE COWARDS, AND WE'RE LETTING

THE LION MEDIA CONTINUALLY CREATE THE RACE CARD, THE

NARRATIVE OF HATE, FUELING THIS KIND OF STUFF THAT GETS

IN A BRAIN OF A 22-YEAR-OLD TO TAKE OUT A FAMILY MAN WHO

IS LITERALLY JUST WANTING TO HAVE A DISCUSSION. OPEN

DIALOGUE, FREEDOM OF SPEECH. AND HE NEVER DID ANYTHING TO

SHOW ANY KIND OF VIOLENCE OR HATE. TELLING THE TRUTH, THE

BIBLE TELLS US TO TELL THE TRUTH. SPEAK THE TRUTH IN

LOVE. BUT WE GOTTA WAKE UP IN OUR COUNTRY. IT'S THE

REASON, LOOK, DISHONOR. IT'S WHY PEOPLE ARE MURDERING.

IT'S WHY PEOPLE ARE STEALING. IT'S WHY PEOPLE

ARE BEARING FALSE WITNESS. I MEAN, IT'S AMAZING. IT'S

AMAZING. MY KIDS CAME TO ME ONE TIME AND THEY SAID,

"DAD, DAD, THIS IS WHEN GOD, BEFORE HE TOOK OUR, WHEN HE

STARTED TAKING OUR MINISTRY WORLDWIDE." I DIDN'T ASK GOD

TO DO THAT WITH MY MINISTRY. I DIDN'T ASK HIM TO PUT MY

FACE OUT THERE EVERYWHERE. BUT WHAT I DID ASK HIM TO DO

IS USE ME. AND I PROMISED HIM I WOULD TELL THE TRUTH.

AND MY KIDS CAME TO ME AND SAID, DAD, DO YOU NOT

UNDERSTAND WHAT THEY'RE SAYING ABOUT YOU, WHAT

THEY'RE SAYING ABOUT CHURCH? I SAID, I'M NOT PAYING

ATTENTION TO IT, NEITHER SHOULD YOU. IF THEY'RE GONNA

LIE AND BEAR FALSE WITNESS, THEY'RE GONNA ACTUALLY HAVE

TO TAKE IT UP AGAINST GOD. BECAUSE I KNOW WHO I AM, YOU

KNOW WHO I AM, BUT MOST IMPORTANT, GOD DOES. AND I

COULD GIVE A ROYAL RATS RUMP WHAT THEY HAVE TO SAY.

BECAUSE WE ARE LOSING A GENERATION TODAY TO LIARS

THROUGH THE MEDIA AND COWARDS BEHIND PULPITS. AND

CONFUSED CHRISTIANS THAT DON'T HAVE A BACKBONE. AND

IF THERE'S EVER A TIME TO ASSEMBLE IN OUR COUNTRY, IT

IS NOW. IF THERE'S EVER A TIME WHERE WE SAY THAT WE

LOVE JESUS, WE NEED TO COME TOGETHER TO BOLD CHURCHES

AND BECOME A BOLD, MORAL MAJORITY THAT CAN SHIFT A

GENERATION AND A COUNTRY FOR GOD. (AUDIENCE APPLAUDING)

REMEMBER THE SABBATH DAY. WHY? TO KEEP IT SET APART.

WHY IS IT THAT WE'RE SEEING IN TODAY THOSE WHO HATE THE

LIGHT? THAT'S REALLY WHAT THAT WAS ABOUT IN THE

ASSASSINATION. WAS SOMEBODY WHO HATED THE LIGHT.

SOMEBODY WHO CAME IN TO SHINE LIGHT. IF YOU LOVE

GOD, LET ME ASK YOU A QUESTION. SHOULD YOU LOVE

HIS COMMANDS? SHOULD YOU LOVE WHAT GOD LOVES AND HATE

WHAT HE HATES? IF GOD CALLS SOMETHING AN ABOMINATION, IS

IT STILL AN ABOMINATION? IF GOD SAYS MARRIAGE IS BETWEEN

TWO PEOPLE, A MAN AND A WOMAN, NONE OF THE SAME SEX,

HOW IS THAT HATE? WHEN YOU'RE JUST ABSOLUTELY

STANDING WITH YOUR FATHER? WHEN GOD SAYS THERE'S ONLY

TWO GENDERS, MALE AND FEMALE, HOW IS IT HATE WHEN

YOU'RE JUST ABSOLUTELY REPEATING THE GOD WHO SPUN

THE PLANETS INTO SPACE, TOLD THE OCEANS WATER HOW FAR

THEY COULD COME TO THE SHORES. YOU MEAN TO TELL ME

YOU AND YOUR PRIDE ARE GONNA TELL GOD THAT HE DOESN'T

KNOW WHAT HE'S SAYING? WHAT RIGHT DOES THAT WHICH IS

CREATED HAVE TO TELL THE CREATOR, "THIS ISN'T RIGHT,

DON'T DO THAT." BUT YET WE SIT THERE AND LISTEN TO THE

MEDIA, WE SIT THERE AND LISTEN TO THE CULTURE, AND

BEND AND BOW. AND IF WE ARE GOING TO GO BACK TO CHURCH,

WE GOTTA GO BACK TO DOING THINGS GOD'S WAY. WE DON'T

NEED TO JUST BE SITTING IN A PEW, TAKING UP A SEAT,

TAKING UP STREAM TIME. WE HAVE GOT TO BE PEOPLE WITH A

PURPOSE. THE REASON OUR COUNTRY FOR THE LAST 40

YEARS HAS BEEN LIKE IT IS BECAUSE PEOPLE QUIT GOING TO

CHURCH. THEY LET THE SECULAR CULTURE TELL US THAT CHURCH,

GOD, CHRISTIANITY WASN'T IMPORTANT. AND YET IT'S

AMAZING TO ME THAT THE DEVIL KNEW HOW IMPORTANT THE

CHURCH WAS. SO DID THE LOONY LIBERAL LEFTS. WHEN NOTICE

THEY WEREN'T SHUTTING DOWN VERY MANY THINGS EXCEPT THE

PLAN, PURPOSE, TARGETED ATTACK AGAINST CHURCHES TO SHUT THEM

DOWN. IF THEY KNEW HOW IMPORTANT AND VITAL THE CHURCH IS, WHEN

ARE WE GONNA GET IT? (CONGREGATION APPLAUDING)

JESUS SAID THE CHURCH WON'T, THE GATES OF

HELL CANNOT PREVAIL. NOTHING ON THIS PLANET CAN PREVAIL

IF WE WILL RALLY AROUND JESUS CHRIST AND ONE

ANOTHER. THERE'S NOTHING THAT THE ENEMY COULD DO. NOT

ALL THE EVIL WE'RE SEEING, NOT ALL THE COMPROMISE, NOT

ALL THE CRAZY THINGS THAT PEOPLE ARE BELIEVING. IT

WOULD NOT PREVAIL IF WE WOULD JUST GO BACK TO

HONORING GOD, HONORING ONE ANOTHER, AND THE POWER OF

OUR ASSEMBLY. I BELIEVE IT'S THE REASON THAT WE HAVE A

GENERATION WHERE THEY CALL EVIL GOOD AND GOOD EVIL. I

BELIEVE IT'S THE REASON WE'RE SEEING PEOPLE BENT ON

WICKEDNESS, CORRUPTION, TWISTED IDEOLOGIES. IT'S

BECAUSE OF THIS ONE SCRIPTURE. LOOK AT HEBREWS

Hebrews 10:25

CHAPTER 10, VERSE 25. WE'RE GONNA LOOK AT IT OUT OF TWO

TRANSLATIONS. NOW THESE AREN'T PASTOR HANK'S WORDS.

THESE ARE THE WRITER OF THE BOOK OF HEBREWS WHO PEOPLE

THINK IS THE APOSTLE PAUL. NOTICE ONE OF THE THINGS

THAT HE SAID WAS SO IMPORTANT. HE SAID, "DO NOT

FORSAKE OUR MEETING TOGETHER "AS BELIEVERS FOR WORSHIP

AND INSTRUCTION." DON'T FORSAKE IT, DON'T FORGET IT,

DON'T NEGLECT IT, DON'T GET INTO SOME BAD HABITS, DON'T

THINK IT'S NOT IMPORTANT, DON'T LET THE CULTURE, DON'T

LET POLITICS TALK YOU OUT OF THE IMPORTANCE OF YOU, THE

CHURCH, COMING TOGETHER, BEING TOGETHER. COME ON,

GATHERING, MAKE YOURSELF. IF OUR CHURCH SERVICE STARTS AT

NINE O'CLOCK AND I'M YOUR PASTOR AND THIS IS YOUR

CHURCH LIVESTREAM, YOU NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU'RE NOT

LATE FOR CHURCH. NOW I UNDERSTAND SOME DAYS YOU

CAN'T GET UP AND YOU GOTTA REST IN AND STUFF, BUT IF

YOU'RE REALLY GONNA DEEM THE IMPORTANCE OF GOD USING

TECHNOLOGY TO COME INTO YOUR HOME OR WHERE YOU WATCH,

THEN PUT GREATER VALUE ON IT. MAYBE YOU OUGHTA DRESS

UP RATHER THAN BE IN YOUR PAJAMAS. MAYBE YOU OUGHTA

NOT EAT DURING THE CHURCH SERVICE. MAYBE YOU OUGHTA

NOT JUST CLICK FROM CHURCH SERVICE TO CHURCH SERVICE. I

DON'T LIKE WHAT PASTOR HANK'S SAYING, SO I'M GONNA

SWITCH IT. YOU SEE, THIS IS HOW THINGS CREEP INTO OUR

CULTURE BEFORE WE KNOW IT. AND THEN WE WONDER WHY WE

SAW A 31-YEAR-OLD MAN HAVING DISCUSSIONS ON COLLEGE

CAMPUS, GUNNED DOWN WITH TWO KIDS AND A WIFE THAT IS

LITERALLY AFFECTING HUNDREDS OF MILLION PEOPLE. BECAUSE I

GUARANTEE IF THE GOD FACTOR AND THE CHURCH FACTOR WOULD

HAVE BEEN STRONGER OVER THE LAST 40 YEARS WHEN THEY TOOK

THE 10 COMMANDMENTS OUT, PRAYER OUT OF SCHOOL, RIGHT?

WHEN THEY STARTED PUTTING SEXUALLY EXPLOITED MATERIAL

AND SHOVING IT INTO THE CLASSROOMS, INTO THE

LIBRARIES, RIGHT? AND THEN THE TWISTED, CROOKED

SUPERINTENDENTS AND SCHOOL BOARDS THAT ARE PEDOPHILES

THEMSELVES IF THEY CANNOT THROW THAT MATERIAL OUT. BUT

YET, YOU'RE NOT ALLOWED TO BRING A BIBLE INTO SCHOOL. I

HAVE TO SAY, SOMEWHERE PEOPLE STOPPED GOING TO

CHURCH. CHURCH WASN'T IMPORTANT. AND THEN, HERE'S

THE BIG ONE. THE JOHNSON AMENDMENT CAME OUT, RIGHT?

MAN, IF YOU LIKE LYNDON JOHNSON, YOU OUGHT TO GO

READ ABOUT HIM. THE KENNEDY FILES CAME OUT, IT WAS

PRETTY OBVIOUS, WHERE HE WAS INVOLVED IN TAKING OUT

KENNEDY. HE WAS INVOLVED IN HIS ASSASSINATION. AND THEN

HE KEPT CONTINUING, LET'S ASSASSINATE PRAYER IN

SCHOOL. LET'S ASSASSINATE THE BLACK RACE. LET'S GO

AHEAD AND FORM PLANNED PARENTHOOD, AND LET'S LINK

UP WITH THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY, AND LET'S TELL THEM

THAT WE ARE THE DEMOCRATS, THE FRIEND OF THE BLACK MAN.

AND THEY LIED. ALL UNDER JOHNSON'S. AND THEN THEY GET

AN AMENDMENT WHERE, IF YOU'RE A PREACHER, YOU CAN'T

SAY ANYTHING POLITICAL. AND PASTORS ALLOWED THAT TO SHUT

THEM UP AND COWERED. AND NOW WE'VE GOT CONFLICTED

CHRISTIANS WHO DON'T GO TO CHURCH, OR IF THEY GO TO

CHURCH, THEY MIGHT AS WELL JUST STAY HOME BECAUSE THEY

AIN'T GETTING EMPOWERED TO DO ANYTHING TO MAKE A

DIFFERENCE ANYWHERE. AND YOU GET PEOPLE ARGUING, FIGHTING

OVER THINGS THAT GOD MADE IT SO CLEAR IN SCRIPTURE.

I WAS TRYING TO BE NICE TODAY, I AM, OKAY.

(CONGREGATION LAUGHING) DO WE HAVE THE NEW CENTURY

VERSION BACK THERE OF THAT ONE? OKAY, LOOK AT THE NEW

CENTURY VERSION. YOU SHOULD NOT STAY AWAY FROM CHURCH

MEETINGS AS SOME ARE DOING, BUT YOU SHOULD MEET

TOGETHER. WHY? IT ENCOURAGES ONE ANOTHER. DO THIS EVEN

MORE AS YOU SEE THE DAY COMING. WHAT DAY? WELL,

JESUS HAS RETURNED, BUT HOW ABOUT AN EVIL DAY?

I MEAN, IT'S AMAZING TO ME. I REMEMBER WHEN BILL

CLINTON WENT IN TO THE OVAL OFFICE AND HAD THAT LITTLE

INTERN COME IN. REMEMBER? AND THEN HE STOOD UP. I DID

NOT HAVE A RELATIONSHIP WITH THAT WOMAN. YOU LIAR. YOUR

PANTS ARE ON FIRE 'CAUSE YOU WEREN'T WEARING THEM. BUT

HERE'S THE POINT. I REMEMBER PRAYING. I KNOW SOME OF YOU

ARE VISITING AND GOING, "OH MY GOD, NO, I'M LIKE THIS

EVERY SUNDAY." AND I WASN'T ABOUT TO BE SOMETHING THAT

I'M NOT. BECAUSE IF YOU WANNA COME BACK HERE, I'D

RATHER YOU KNOW HOW I AM AND HOW THIS CHURCH IS. BECAUSE

IF YOU'RE REALLY SERIOUS ABOUT GOD, YOU'RE SERIOUS

ABOUT THE TRUTH, YOU'RE SERIOUS ABOUT A REAL GOD

EXPERIENCE RATHER THAN A CHURCH EXPERIENCE, I'D

RATHER YOU KNOW HOW I AM NOW SO I DON'T DISAPPOINT YOU.

AND YOU COME BACK NEXT WEEK, OH MY GOD, HE CHANGED, IS HE

JEKYLL AND HYDE? NO, I'M THE SAME WAY ALL THE TIME. BUT I

REMEMBER FASTING AND PRAYING AFTER THAT HAPPENED AND GOD

SAID TO ME, "WHAT HAS BEEN DONE IN THE HIGH OFFICE OF

THE LAND "IS NOW GONNA TOUCH THE CHILDREN OF THE LAND."

AND IF YOU LOOK AT WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO CHILDREN AND

CORRUPTION, THEY DON'T GO TO CHURCH ANYMORE, RIGHT?

THEY'RE INTO MORE ABOUT WHAT AI HAS TO SAY THAN GOD

ALMIGHTY, I AM HAS TO SAY. I REMEMBER WHEN OBAMA GOT

ELECTED. AND HE LIT UP THE WHITE HOUSE IN RAINBOW

COLORS. AND PEOPLE REJOICE, "OH, A BLACK-SKINNED

PRESIDENT. WE FINALLY GOT A BLACK-SKINNED PRESIDENT."

REALLY? YEAH, BUT LOOK AT HIS DARK POLICIES. HE

CREATED A LOT OF THE RACE CARD THAT WE'RE HAVING IN

AMERICA. AND I'M NOT SAYING THAT, YOU CAN CALL ME A

WHITE SUPREMACIST ALL DAY LONG, BUT GO BACK AND LOOK

AT IT. RATHER THAN STAND UP WHEN HE HAD THAT ONE THING

HAPPEN IN MISSOURI OF THAT LITTLE BLACK BOY AND SAID,

"OH, HE COULD ALMOST BE ME, FERGUSON, MISSOURI." WHY

DIDN'T HE STAND UP AND SAY, "YOU KNOW WHAT? "WE NEED TO

BRING LAW ENFORCEMENT BACK TO THE COMMUNITY. "WE NEED

DAYS LIKE IN THE DAYS," COME ON, OF MEMBER, WHAT WAS

THAT? MEMBER DON KNOTTS, HE STARRED IN MAYBERRY. WE NEED

MAYBERRIES WHERE THERE WAS A TRUE CONNECTION WITH LAW

ENFORCEMENT, LAW ENFORCEMENT COMMUNITY. AND WE NEED TO

MAKE SURE WE GET ALL THE FACTS. NO, HE CREATED THE

RACE CARD. AND HIM AND JESSE JACKSON, WHO THE HECK IS

JESSE JACKSON? AL SHOPTON, THEY ONLY SHOW UP WHEN THEY

NEED SOME MONEY FOR THE LOBBYING. BUT THEY CREATED

THE RACE CARD. UNDER OBAMA. AND THE LORD SPOKE TO MEL

HART AT THAT TIME AND HE SAID, "HANK, YOU DON'T

UNDERSTAND WHAT HE IS STANDING FOR, "I DON'T STAND

FOR." AND IT'S GOING TO CREATE THE MELTING POT OF THIS NATION

IS GOING TO BECOME THE GREAT BOILING POT. "WHAT HAVE YOU SEEN

SINCE THEN?" WELL HOW ABOUT DONALD J. TRUMP? YOU CAN SAY

WHAT YOU WANT ABOUT HIM BUT HE'S AMERICA FIRST, HE'S FIRST

FOR YOU. BUT HERE'S WHAT I LOVE. HE'S THE ONLY ONE IN

MODERN TIMES, THAT I'VE BEEN ALIVE ALMOST 60 YEARS, THAT HE'S

THE ONLY ONE THAT'S NOT AFRAID TO SAY THE NAME OF JESUS, NOT IN

PROFANITY. HE'S THE ONLY ONE THAT SAYS WE NEED GOD IN OUR

COUNTRY. WE NEED GOD IN OUR SCHOOLS. WE

NEED GOD IN OUR HOMES. WE NEED GOD IN OUR NATION. WE

NEED GOD IN OUR STREETS. WE NEED GOD IN OUR COMMUNITY.

WHETHER YOU THINK HE'S GUILTY OF 41 INDICTMENTS

THAT DIDN'T GO ANYWHERE OR NOT, THE BOTTOM LINE IS HE

IS UNDERSTANDING A POWERFUL PRINCIPLE. YOU CANNOT

FUNCTION AS A HUMAN BEING, YOU CAN'T FUNCTION AS A

TEENAGER, YOU CANNOT FUNCTION IN YOUR MARRIAGE,

YOU CANNOT FUNCTION IN AMERICA, YOUR CITIES, YOUR

SCHOOLS, YOUR COMMUNITIES, YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD, WITHOUT

THE GOD FACTOR. (CONGREGATION APPLAUDING)

AND THAT'S WHY WE NEED TO GET BACK TO CHURCH. BECAUSE

WE'VE HAD EVERYTHING IN OUR SOCIETY AND OUR CULTURE FOR

THE LAST 50 YEARS, AT LEAST THAT I REMEMBER, THAT HAS

DONE EVERYTHING TO TAKE GOD OUT. WOULDN'T IT BE GREAT TO

SHOW HOW IMPORTANT GOD IS AND GET BACK TO CHURCH?

START MAKING GOD A PRIORITY, I THINK IT'S GONNA SHIFT.

NOW LET ME SHOW YOU, THIS IS VERY POWERFUL. LOOK AT LUKE

CHAPTER FOUR. DO YOU KNOW JESUS HAD HABITS? HOW MANY

OF YOU HAVE SOME HABITS THAT YOU WISH YOU COULD BREAK? WE

WON'T DISCUSS WHAT THEY ARE. ANYBODY HAVE ANY HABITS? MY

BIGGEST HABIT IS IN THE MORNING AT COFFEE, HEY

BRENDA, WHAT'S FOR DINNER? RIGHT? AND THEN I USED TO

HAVE A HABIT WHEN I FIRST GOT MARRIED, I'VE BEEN

MARRIED 36 YEARS, 36, SORRY BRENDA, I KNEW 36 YEARS, I

WAS JUST TESTING YOU TO SEE IF YOU WERE GONNA SAY

ANYTHING. BUT WHERE I WOULD LEAVE THE TOILET SEAT UP.

THAT LASTED ABOUT A WEEK. BUT I TOLD HER, I SAID,

REALLY, THE MEN HAVE MORE, I MEAN, IT'S MORE EFFORT TO

PICK IT UP AND THEN PUT IT BACK DOWN THAN TO JUST HAVE

IT DOWN. YOU SEE HOW MUCH WE HAVE TO WORK FOR OUR ROLE

HERE? (CONGREGATION LAUGHING) COME ON, MEN,

YOU'RE NOT BAILING ME OUT. THEY'RE SCARED, THEY'RE

SCARED. THEY DON'T WANNA SAY ANYTHING. ALL THE WOMEN ARE

LOOKING AT THEM, THE WIVES ARE GOING, "DON'T YOU SAY

ANYTHING. "IF YOU DARE REVERT BACK, YOU'LL GO

OUTSIDE." THAT'S ANOTHER THING. HOW MANY EVER BEEN TO

A RESTAURANT AND THE WOMAN GETS UP, "WHERE ARE THE

LADIES ROOM?" "OH, JUST FIVE FEET RIGHT OVER HERE." THE

DUDE STANDS UP. "YEAH, WHERE'S THE MEN'S ROOM?"

"OH, SEE THAT HALL, GO DOWN THE HALL, "OUT THE BACK

DOORS, THROUGH THE ALLEY, "ROUND THE TREES, PAST THE

DUMPSTER, "AND THERE'S AN OUTHOUSE OUT THERE FOR THE

MEN." AND SO THEN THE MEN COME BACK, THE FOOD'S COLD,

20 MINUTES LATER, "WHERE WERE YOU?" "DOWN THE ALLEY,

THROUGH THE DOORS, PAST THE TREES, NEXT TO THE DUMPSTER,

THERE WAS AN OUT HOUSE." YOU ALL HERE, IS IT BACK TO

CHURCH, AND YOU ALL DON'T WANNA? OKAY, ALL RIGHT,

ANYWAY, LET'S GO. ALL RIGHT, LOOK AT LUKE CHAPTER FOUR,

VERSE SIX, I'M GONNA FINISH UP, 'CAUSE SOME OF YOU ARE

LIKE, "I GOT TO GET THE HECK OUT OF THIS PLACE. I JUST

CAME FOR THE FOOD, MAN." NO, I GUARANTEE YOU, MOST TIME

WHEN PEOPLE GO TO CHURCH, THEY DON'T REMEMBER ANYTHING

THE PREACHER SAYS. YOU'LL REMEMBER WHAT I SAID.

ESPECIALLY WHEN I MADE THE COMMENT ABOUT, OH, BILLY BOY

CLINTON, YOU'LL REMEMBER THAT. I'LL GUARANTEE YOU'LL

REMEMBER THAT ONE. I KNOW YOU WILL. YOU MAY HATE ME,

YOU MAY NOT LIKE MY SERMON, BUT YOU'RE GONNA REMEMBER

IT. YES, YOU WILL. COME ON, THE PEOPLE THAT COME HERE,

WOULD YOU HELP ME OUT? I'M STARTING TO THINK YOU DON'T

LIKE ME EITHER. I MEAN, YOU'RE JUST LOOKING AT ME

LIKE, I BROUGHT MY MOM, PASTOR. WELL, DIDN'T YOU

TELL HER HOW I WAS? LOOK AT LUKE 4:16. JESUS CAME TO

Luke 4:16

NAZARETH WHERE HE HAD BEEN BROUGHT UP. AND AS HIS HABIT

WAS, HE WENT TO THE SYNAGOGUE. HE WENT TO CHURCH

AND STOOD UP TO READ. SO JESUS HAD HABITS. AND ONE OF

HIS GODLY HABITS WAS HE PRIORITIZED THE ASSEMBLING

TOGETHER. COME ON, IF JESUS DID THIS, HOW MUCH MORE

WOULD IT BE FOR US? I KNOW WE GET BUSY, I KNOW WE HAVE

SCHEDULES, BUT YOU KNOW WHAT? I JUST FEEL LIKE OUR

COUNTRY IS IN A SHIFT CHANGE. OUR COUNTRY, IN

HONOR OF CHARLIE KIRK, IS ABSOLUTELY COME TO A TURNING

POINT. I WANNA SHOW YOU A SCRIPTURE OUT OF PSALM 24

THAT I THINK IS GONNA ENCOURAGE YOU. LOOK AT IT

OUT OF THE AMPLIFIED, AND I REALLY BELIEVE THAT THIS IS

WHAT GOD IS SAYING TO US. WE'RE NOT WITHOUT HOPE. ALL

OF THOSE KIDS ON THOSE COLLEGE CAMPUSES, I MEAN,

EVEN WHEN THEY WENT DOWN TO UNO, THERE WAS A FEW PEOPLE

THAT GAVE THEIR LIVES TO THE LORD. I BELIEVE THAT THIS

SCRIPTURE IS BEING FULFILLED RIGHT NOW IN OUR HEARING.

LOOK AT THIS. IT SAYS, "THIS IS THE GENERATION,"

DESCRIPTION, "OF THOSE WHO WILL DILIGENTLY SEEK GOD

"AND REQUIRE HIM AT THEIR GREATEST NEED." I DON'T

THINK THERE'S EVER A TIME WHERE WE'RE LIKE, GOD, WE

NEED YOU. THEY'RE GONNA SEEK YOUR FACE, EVEN AS DID

JACOB. I BELIEVE THERE'S A GENERATION THAT IS SEEKING

THE FACE OF GOD. I BELIEVE THAT WHAT THE DEVIL MEANT

FOR EVIL, GOD'S GONNA TURN IT AROUND AND WE'RE GONNA

START SEEING CHURCH HOUSES FILLED UP. I WANNA SHOW YOU

NOW, I TOLD YOU THAT LIVE STREAM IS IN THE BIBLE. IT

IS, NO, I'M SERIOUS, IT IS. I WAS STUDYING THIS LAST

WEEK AND I WAS GONNA PREACH MY OTHER MESSAGE. MAYBE I

SHOULD HAVE DONE THAT 'CAUSE SOME OF YOUR PEOPLE WILL

COME BACK NEXT WEEK, BUT HERE'S THE POINT. AND I'M

TYPING AND I'VE READ THIS SCRIPTURE LIKE 100 TIMES,

QUOTED IT 100 TIMES, PREACHED IT 100 TIMES, AND

I'M SITTING THERE, AND HOW MANY OF YOU EVER HAD IT

WHERE THE HOLY SPIRIT SPEAKS TO YOUR HEART? AND I HEARD

THE HOLY SPIRIT SAY TO ME, "HANK, LOOK THIS UP IN OTHER

TRANSLATIONS." AND I WAS SO DUMB, I ARGUED. GOD, I

ALREADY KNOW WHAT THEY SAY. I MEAN, HOW MANY

TRANSLATIONS IS THERE? LIKE 60 OF THEM OR SOMETHING? SO

I SAID, OKAY, AND I DID. AND I FOUND A SCRIPTURE FOR

THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE WATCHING. ARE YOU READY? NO,

I'M SERIOUS. I KNOW YOU'RE THINKING THAT PASTOR HANK'S

GONNA MAKE A PUN, I'M NOT. WAIT TILL YOU SEE THIS. DO

YOU WANT ME TO SHOW IT TO YOU? YES. OKAY, IT'S GONNA COST YOU

SOME TACOS IF I'M OUT THERE. ARE YOU READY? WHO WANTS

ME TO SHOW IT TO YOU? YEAH. (CONGREGATION CHEERING)

YOU WANT ME TO SHOW IT TO YOU? ALL RIGHT,

LOOK AT ISAIAH CHAPTER TWO. THIS IS AMAZING. ALL RIGHT,

LOOK AT ISAIAH TWO, VERSE TWO OF THE NEW LIVING

TRANSLATION. ALL RIGHT, ISAIAH TWO, TWO, ISAIAH TWO,

TWO, LIKE WEARING A TUTU, WHICH I WILL NEVER DO. BUT

WATCH THIS, ISAIAH TWO, TWO. ISAIAH TWO, VERSE TWO. THIS

IS AMAZING. ALL RIGHT, IN THE LAST DAYS, THE MOUNTAIN

OF THE LORD'S HOUSE, THAT'S THE CHURCH, WILL BE THE

HIGHEST OF ALL. THE MOST IMPORTANT PLACE ON THE

EARTH. I THINK THAT'S WHERE WE'RE HEADING WITH THIS

GENERATION. IT WILL BE RAISED UP ABOVE OTHER HILLS,

THAT MEANS GOVERNMENTS AND THINGS, AND PEOPLE FROM ALL

OVER THE WORLD WILL WHAT? STREAM. STREAM THERE TO

WORSHIP. I COULD NOT BELIEVE IT. SO LIVE STREAM YOUR

SCRIPTURE FROM HERE ON OUT. IF PEOPLE SAY, "WELL, WHY

DON'T YOU GO "TO THE FIRST JACKED UP CHURCH OF THE,"

YOU KNOW, WHATEVER THEY CALL THEMSELVES. AND YOU SAY,

"WELL, I STREAM." WELL, THAT'S NOT BIBLICAL. NOW YOU

CAN DANCE AND SAY, "LET'S GET BIBLICAL, BIBLICAL." AND

YOU CAN QUOTE THIS ONE. AND YOU COULD TELL 'EM, PEOPLE

FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD WILL STREAM. AND THAT'S WHY I'M

AN E-MEMBER, AND I STREAM. YEAH, ISN'T THAT POWERFUL?

NOW, LOOK AT ANOTHER ONE, ACTS 2, VERSE 46. I'M ALMOST

Acts 2:46

DONE. ACTS 2, VERSE 46, WATCH THIS ONE. THIS IS THE

Acts 2:46

EARLY CHURCH. NOW, WE KNOW THAT IN ACTS 2, WE KNOW THAT

3,000 WERE ADDED TO THE CHURCH. SO GOD, THE FIRST

EXPRESSION OF THE CHURCH AFTER JESUS ASCENDED WAS A

MEGA CHURCH. THAT'S WHAT MEGA IS, THOUSANDS, RIGHT?

AND LIKE PASTOR BRENDA SAID, THE JERUSALEM CHURCHES WHERE

THAT HAPPENED IN ACTS 2, ACTUALLY GREW TO OVER

100,000 PEOPLE, 100,000. AND THEY WOULD MEET IN SOLOMON'S

PORCH AND THEY WOULD HAVE CORPORATE GATHERING. THIS IS

REALLY POWERFUL. NOW WATCH VERSE 46, THIS IS WHAT YOU

HAVE TO SEE. AND THEY CONTINUED DAILY WITH ONE

ACCORD IN THE TEMPLE OR SOLOMON'S FORGE, THAT PUBLIC

ASSEMBLY. AND THEY BROKE BREAD FROM HOUSE TO HOUSE.

IN OTHER WORDS, GOD INCLUDED THE HOUSE, NOT JUST SO IT

COULD BE A HOUSE CHURCH MOVEMENT WHERE YOU DON'T

HAVE TO GO TO CHURCH AND HAVE A PASTOR, RIGHT? OR A

MEGA CHURCH OR A HUNDRED PEOPLE CHURCH OR 50 PEOPLE

CHURCH, BUT THE CHURCH HAS TO BE IN THE HOUSE. NOW, IF

YOU LOOK AT HISTORY, 100,000 PEOPLE GATHERED PUBLICLY IN

A MEGA CHURCH, AND THEN GOD'S ANSWER ALSO WAS TO

MEET IN HOMES FOR MORE OF A BREAKDOWN MAYBE OF THE

APOSTLES DOCTRINE, ACTS 242, WHATEVER THE APOSTLES WERE

TEACHING, THEY WERE GIVING THAT TO THEM. THEY WEREN'T

JUST ON THEIR OWN IN THEIR HOMES TO JUST TEACH

ANYTHING. RIGHT, DID ADAM HAVE A BELLY BUTTON? IT WAS

THE APOSTLES DOCTRINE, ACTS 242, RIGHT? AND BY THE WAY,

HE DID. 'CAUSE I KNOW, HOW MANY OF YOU EVER SEEN

PILLSBURY DOUGHBOY? YOU CANNOT TELL ME GOD, WHEN HE

SAW ADAM, HE WAS SO THRILLED, HE WENT, "OH,

OOH!" AND HE, I COULD JUST SEE GOD DOING THAT. I COULD

JUST SEE GOD DOING THAT. BUT NOTICE THEY MET IN THE

PUBLIC SETTING. BUT THEY ALSO MET IN HOMES. IN OTHER

WORDS, IT WASN'T JUST FOR BIBLE STUDIES. I BELIEVE

THEY MET IN HOMES, JUST LIKE WHAT YOU'RE DOING TODAY.

YOU'RE ASSEMBLING EVEN IN YOUR HOME. ALL RIGHT, LET'S

GO ON, 'CAUSE I WANNA PULL THIS THING TO CLOSE SO THAT

WE CAN ENJOY THE REST OF OUR DAY TODAY. I BELIEVE THAT

THERE'S A GENERATION ALSO COMING. LOOK AT PSALM 122,

WHERE THERE'S GONNA BE SOMETHING ON THEIR LIPS.

IT'S NOT, "OH, DO WE HAVE TO GO TO CHURCH AGAIN, MOM?"

OH, OR IT'S THE SPOUSE. "OH, YOU'RE GOING TO THAT CHURCH

AGAIN?" OR YOUR RELATIVE. "OH, WHY DO YOU SPEND SO

MUCH TIME AT CHURCH?" OR SOME OF YOU THAT ARE

WATCHING, "OH MY GOSH, WHY DO YOU WASTE YOUR TIME

"WATCHING CHURCH LIVE STREAM?" I BELIEVE THERE'S A

GENERATION THAT'S UPON US. AND I THINK CHARLIE KIRK, I

THINK IT'S A TURNING POINT, IT'S A SHIFT CHANGE, I'M

ALMOST DONE. LOOK AT WHAT PSALM 122 SAYS. IT SAYS,

"LET US GO TO CHURCH." LET US GO, THEY'LL BE GLAD. IT

WON'T BE CUMBERSOME. IT WON'T BE, YOU KNOW, YOU HAVE

TO FORCE SOMEBODY. THEY'RE SAYING THAT, I ACTUALLY READ

THIS IN A SECULAR MAGAZINE, THAT THE BIBLE IS STILL THE

NUMBER ONE MOST PURCHASED BOOK, READ BOOK IN THE WHOLE

WORLD. ISN'T THAT AMAZING? AND THEY'RE SAYING THERE'S A

RESURGENT OF PEOPLE REALLY COMING BACK TO CHURCH AGAIN.

AND I JUST WANT TO, LET'S GIVE AN APPLAUSE TO THOSE

THAT ARE HERE TODAY, THOSE THAT ARE WATCHING, YOU THAT

ARE HERE TODAY. I THINK THIS IS GOING TO BE THE NORM

BECAUSE I THINK THAT THE SURVIVAL OF OUR COUNTRY, OUR

CHILDREN, OUR SCHOOLS, OUR GOVERNMENT, SOCIETY, IT'S

DEPENDENT UPON WE, THE PEOPLE, NOT ONLY OF THE

CONSTITUTION, BUT WE, THE PEOPLE OF THE COMMANDMENTS

OF GOD. WE HAVE GOT TO COME TOGETHER. WE'VE GOT TO STAY

TOGETHER. ALL RIGHT, I WANNA JUST SHOW YOU SOMETHING HERE

REAL QUICK. I JUST WANNA ENCOURAGE YOU. GOING TO

CHURCH IS ALSO FOR PROTECTION. LOOK AT PSALM

23. SOMETIMES WE READ THIS IN THE CONTEXT OF, I

REMEMBER WHEN I WENT TO THE LUTHERAN CHURCH WHERE WE

GREW UP, THEY WOULD READ THE 23RD PSALM. AND I WOULD

ALWAYS BE, AND THEY HAD THIS BANNER WITH JESUS, A PICTURE

OF JESUS, AND THEN THEY HAD THE 23RD PSALM ON IT. I

STILL HAVE THAT BANNER AND BREADED IN MY MIND. AND I

REMEMBER LOOKING AT IT AND READING PSALM 23 AS A

NINE-YEAR-OLD, A 10-YEAR-OLD, I'D BE LOOKING

UP AT THIS PICTURE OF JESUS. AND I WOULD SIT THERE AND

THINK, I NEVER COULD UNDERSTAND VERSE ONE. I

WOULD SIT THERE AND GO, YEAH, BUT I THINK I WANT

HIM. LOOK AT PSALM 23, VERSE ONE. THE LORD IS MY

SHEPHERD, I SHALL NOT WANT. AND I USED TO THINK, WELL,

WHY WOULD THEY PUT THAT UP THERE? WHY, WELL, IF HE'S

YOUR SHEPHERD, DON'T YOU WANT HIM? BUT IT'S NOT WANT,

LIKE YOU DON'T WANT HIM, IT'S YOU WON'T HAVE ANY

NEED. NOW, GOD APPOINTS SHEPHERDS. HE APPOINTS

PASTORS. THAT'S WHY WHEN YOU COME TO CHURCH, YOU NEED TO

FIND NOT JUST A GOOD CHURCH, YOU NEED TO FIND A GOOD

PASTOR. HOW DO YOU FIND A GOOD PASTOR? A PASTOR THAT

IS BOLD ENOUGH TO TELL YOU THE TRUTH. A PASTOR, WATCH

THIS, THAT IS NOT A HIRELING. YEAH, HE PROBABLY

GETS A SALARY BECAUSE IF HE DIDN'T, HE'D HAVE TO GO WORK

SECULAR AND IT'D BE HARD TO TAKE CARE OF THE SHEEP. BUT

A PASTOR THAT IS NOT CONCERNED ABOUT SAYING

THINGS THAT WOULD OFFEND YOU OR SO BOLD OR SO TRUTHFUL

THAT HE'S SCARED TO SAY IT 'CAUSE HE'S MORE CONCERNED

ABOUT YOUR WALLET THAN HE IS ABOUT THE TRUTH. 'CAUSE YOU

MIGHT GET MAD AND YOU MIGHT LEAVE. IF YOU'RE UNDER A

CHURCH LIKE THAT WHERE YOUR PASTOR'S A COWARD, GET OUT.

TAKE YOUR MONEY OUT WITH IT. THEY DON'T DESERVE IT. THE

REASON WHY THE TURNING POINT MOVEMENT GREW LIKE IT DID IS

BECAUSE PEOPLE REALLY DO, AT THE END OF THE DAY, WANNA

HEAR THE TRUTH. AND THEY'RE LOOKING FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE

GONNA BE BOLD ENOUGH TO PUT THEIR LIFE ON THE LINE.

THAT'S REALLY WHAT WE NEED TODAY. AND THAT'S REALLY

WHAT THE NATURE OF A TRUE SHEEP DOES. LOOK AT, HE

MAKES ME LIE DOWN IN GREEN PASTURES. NOTICE, HE HELPS

YOU FIND THE RIGHTFUL PLACE IN YOUR LIFE OF NOURISHMENT,

RIGHT? HE'S WILLING TO TELL YOU THE TRUTH, SAYING, HEY,

YOU KNOW WHAT? YOU KNOW, GOING OUT AFTER WORK TO THE

TAVERNS PROBABLY IS NOT GREEN PASTURES. THERE'S

BETTER THINGS THAT YOU COULD DO WITH YOUR TIME, LIKE

GETTING HOME. A PASTOR IS NOT AFRAID TO SAY, YOU KNOW

WHAT? THERE'S BETTER PASTURES THAN TO SPEND ALL

YOUR TIME SELFIEING YOUR LIFE WITH YOUR SOCIAL MEDIA

PHOTOS. OKAY, NOTICE THE NEXT THING. HE LEADS ME

BESIDES THE WATERS. A GOOD PASTOR WILL HELP BRING YOU

TO A PLACE OF PEACE, PLACE OF UNDERSTANDING, PLACE OF

TRUTH. LOOK AT VERSE THREE. HE RESTORES YOUR SOUL,

ESPECIALLY WITH THE ATTACK ON THE SOUL OF OUR COUNTRY.

YOU NEED A GOOD PASTOR THAT'S GONNA HELP RESTORE

YOUR SOUL. THERE'S SUCH A VICIOUS ATTACK OF DECEPTION.

HE LEADS YOU IN PATHS OF RIGHTEOUSNESS. SO AGAIN,

DON'T GET MAD AT PASTORS, PREACHERS THAT GET UP AND

TELL YOU TRUTH AND COMMAND RIGHTEOUSNESS, RIGHT?

ESPECIALLY IN A WICKED AND PERVERSE GENERATION. HERE'S

ANOTHER THING, VERSE FOUR. "EVEN THOUGH I WALK THROUGH

THE VALLEY OF THE SHADOW "OF DEATH, I'LL FEAR NO EVIL FOR

YOU'RE WITH ME." IN OTHER WORDS, A GOOD PASTOR WILL

HELP GET THE FEAR OUT OF YOU. AND NOTICE THY ROD AND

THY STAFF. YOU KNOW WHAT A ROD WAS USED FOR? WITH THE

SHEPHERD, IT WAS USED FOR GUIDING THEM, RIGHT? AND

PULLING THEM BACK IN, GETTING THEM BACK IN THE

SHEEPFOLD IF THEY STOPPED GOING TO CHURCH OR WHATEVER,

OR THEY WERE DRIFTING AWAY, OR YOU KNOW, THEY WOULD HELP

PULL THEM BACK IN. BUT THE ROD ALSO, WATCH THIS, WHEN A

FAKE NEWS MEDIA IS LYING TO YOU, A GOOD SHEPHERD WILL

LIFT UP HIS ROD FROM THE PULPIT AND SAY THEY'RE

LYING. WHEN THEY'RE PUSHING AN AGENDA THAT IS SEXUALLY

EXPLOITING CHILDREN AND DRESSING UP TO DO IT OR

WHATEVER THEY'RE DOING, TEXTBOOKS, WHATEVER, A GOOD

SHEPHERD RAISES THE ROD OF CORRECTION AND AUTHORITY AND

SAYS, "THAT'S NOT WHAT GOD SAYS." THIS IS WRONG. IT'S

BETTER TO HAVE A MILLSTONE TIED AROUND YOUR NECK THAN

TO CAUSE THE LITTLE CHILDREN TO STUMBLE. THAT'S THE WORDS

OF JESUS. AND A GOOD SHEPHERD IS NOT AFRAID TO

TAKE PUBLIC CRITICISM, RIGHT? BE WRITTEN UP, WHO

CARES? HE'S GONNA TELL YOU THE TRUTH 'CAUSE HE'S HERE

TO PROTECT YOU. THAT'S WHAT A GOOD SHEPHERD SHOULD DO.

AND IF YOUR PASTOR'S A COWARD AND HE WON'T TELL THE

TRUTH, THEN DOES HE REALLY CARE FOR YOU? 'CAUSE HE'S

NOT WILLING TO BE YOUR VOICE. HE'S NOT WILLING TO

STAND UP AND EXTEND HIS AUTHORITY DELEGATED BY

JESUS, THE TRUE SHEPHERD. THEN WHAT IS HE IN THE

MINISTRY FOR? BECAUSE I HAVE A HIGHER JUDGMENT COMING TO

ME BEFORE GOD. A PREACHER HAS DOUBLE THE JUDGMENT

MORE SO THAN YOU AS THE BELIEVER. BECAUSE THEY ARE

COMMANDED TO SAY WHAT GOD SAYS. NOT ONLY OUT OF HIS WORD, BUT

ALSO WHEN HIS WORD NEEDS TO ABSOLUTELY CONFRONT DARKNESS

AND BRING LIGHT. ALRIGHT, I'M GONNA GET READY TO END WITH

THIS. LOOK AT THE NEXT ONE. "HE PREPARES A TABLE BEFORE ME

IN THE PRESENCE OF MY ENEMIES." IN OTHER WORDS EVERY WEEK. "HE

ANOINTS MY HEAD WITH OIL," LOOK AT VERSE 6. "SURELY GOODNESS

AND MERCY SHALL FOLLOW ME. THIS DAY WILL DWELL IN THE HOUSE

OF THE LORD FOREVER. BUT I WANNA SHOW YOU TWO OTHER SCRIPTURES.

LOOK AT ECCLESIASTES 10, EIGHT. IF YOU BREAK A HEDGE,

OKAY, A SERPENT WILL BITE. NOW THIS WAS BASED ON ISRAEL

KNEW THE SHEEPFOLD PRINCIPLE. THE SHEEPFOLD WAS

MADE UP OF BRICKS AND MORTAR AND CLAY AND GRASS AND ALL

THAT. AND THERE WAS ONLY ONE DOOR. AND JESUS TAUGHT THIS

IN JOHN CHAPTER 10, THAT THE WAY INTO THE SHEEPFOLD,

John 10 · chapter mention

WHICH IS THE CHURCH, IS NOT THROUGH A WINDOW. HE SAID,

IF YOU DO THAT, YOU TRY TO COME IN SOME OTHER WAY,

YOU'RE A THIEF AND A ROBBER. HE SAID, THE ONLY WAY TO

COME THROUGH IS THE DOOR. YOU GOTTA COME IN THROUGH

THE SHEPHERD. THE SHEPHERD STANDS AT THE DOOR. AND IN A

SHEEPFOLD, THERE WAS ONLY ONE DOOR. AND AT NIGHTTIME,

THE SHEPHERD WOULD LAY IN FRONT OF THE DOOR SO THAT IF

THE SHEEP WOULD GET OUT, HE WOULD BE ALERTED IF THEY

WERE STARTING TO GO TOWARDS DARKNESS. THIS IS WHY I

PREACH AS BOLD AS I PREACH. BECAUSE WHEN JESUS APPEARED,

COME ON, HOW MANY REMEMBER THE CHRISTMAS STORY? THE

SHEPHERDS THAT GOD CHOSE TO APPEAR TO WERE THE ONES THAT

WERE WATCHING OVER THEIR FLOCK BY NIGHT. WHEN IT WAS

DARK, GOD SAID, "YOU GOTTA SPEAK TO THE PREACHERS." I

WISH MORE PREACHERS WOULD LISTEN 'CAUSE IT'S DARK

OUTSIDE. BUT WE NEED GOOD SHEPHERDS. THEY'RE GONNA LAY

THEIR LIVES DOWN. THAT'S WHAT THAT SHEPHERD WOULD DO.

AND SAY, "I'M NOT GONNA ALLOW YOU TO BE DECEIVED "BY

LIES OR BY DARKNESS. "IT'S MY JOB AS A SHEPHERD TO

PROTECT YOU." NOW, THE OTHER THING IS, GO BACK TO THAT

VERSE. IF YOU BREAK A HEDGE, A SERPENT WOULD BITE. IF THE

SHEEP WOULD GET OUT, NOT THROUGH THE DOOR, BUT WOULD

BURROW ITSELF THROUGH THE CLAY OR WHATEVER IT WAS, THE

DIRT, THERE WAS, THEY PUT THORN BUSHES AROUND IT SO

THAT SNAKES COULD NOT GET IN THERE AND ADDERS AND BURROW

THEMSELVES IN TO HURT THE SHEEP. BUT IF THE SHEEP

WOULD GET OUT, CHANCES ARE THEY WOULD GET BIT. SO THERE

WAS A PROTECTION AS LONG AS THEY WOULD BE PART OF A

SHEEPFOLD, THOSE SHEEP, AND AS LONG AS THEY WOULD ALLOW

THAT PASTOR TO LAY HIS LIFE DOWN. WHAT'S YOUR

RESPONSIBILITY NOW? YOUR RESPONSIBILITY GOING FORTH

AFTER LAST WEEK'S EVENTS IS WE ARE IN ACTS 12. WE GOTTA

CONTINUALLY PRAY FOR OUR LEADERS, OUR PASTORS, AND

THOSE THAT ARE LEADING OUTSIDE, ESPECIALLY THOSE

THAT ARE CONFRONTING DARKNESS. WE NEED TO

INCREASE THAT LEVEL OF PRAYER. ALL RIGHT, LAST

SCRIPTURE, I WANT YOU TO STAND YOUR FEET. SO PASTOR

HANK, WHAT IS THE ADVANTAGE? IF THEY CAN COME TO THE

PIANO HERE. WHAT IS THE ADVANTAGE OF REALLY GETTING

CONNECTED, WHETHER IT BE IN YOUR HOUSE? REMEMBER I

SHOWED YOU ISAIAH 2, VERSE 2, THAT THEY STREAM. I THINK

Isaiah 2:2

THAT IS SO POWERFUL. THEY MET IN HOMES AND THEY ALSO

MET IN THE PUBLIC ASSEMBLY. BECAUSE YOU CAN ACTUALLY

CAUSE TWO THINGS TO HAPPEN TO YOUR LIFE BY BEING

COMMITTED TO A GOOD CHURCH, WHETHER IT BE ONLINE OR IN

PERSON, LOCALLY. IT CAN DO TWO THINGS. NUMBER ONE,

IT'LL CAUSE YOU TO HAVE A FRUITFUL LIFE. THERE'S TOO

MANY PEOPLE THAT ARE STRUGGLING. AND I THINK IF

THEY WOULD JUST CONNECT TO A GOOD PASTOR, A GOOD CHURCH,

RIGHT, A GOOD CONGREGATION, I THINK THEY WOULD HAVE LESS

PROBLEMS. I THINK THERE WOULD BE LESS PROBLEMS IN

THEIR LIVES, LESS PROBLEMS IN THEIR MARRIAGE, LESS

PROBLEMS WITH THEIR KIDS, LESS PROBLEMS IN SOCIETY,

LESS PROBLEMS IN CULTURE, LESS PROBLEMS IN CITIES,

LESS PROBLEMS IN NEIGHBORHOODS. IF THE GOD

FACTOR AND THE PEOPLE FACTOR, THAT FIRST AND

SECOND COMMANDMENT, LOVE GOD AND LOVE PEOPLE AND LET'S

ASSEMBLE, LET'S WORK TOGETHER, RIGHT? LET'S BE

THE CHURCH, LET'S LOVE ONE ANOTHER AND TAKE THAT

EXPRESSION OUT. LOOK AT THIS SCRIPTURE IN PSALM 92, THOSE

THAT BE PLANTED, NOT POTTED. YOU KNOW, IF YOU DON'T LIKE

SOMETHING, YOU JUST TAKE YOUR POTTED SELF AND YOU GO

TO THE NEXT CHURCH. WE NEED PEOPLE THAT ARE GONNA SAY,

YOU'RE MY PASTOR, THIS IS MY CHURCH, YOU MAY TICK ME OFF,

PASTOR HANK, WEEK AFTER WEEK, BUT THANK GOD YOU'RE

BOLD ENOUGH AND MAD ENOUGH TO TELL US THE TRUTH. AND I

AIN'T GOING ANYWHERE WITH MY LITTLE FEELINGS ON MY

SHOULDER. WE NEED SOME PEOPLE TODAY THAT ARE GOING,

THAT A PREACHER MAKES YOU MAD ENOUGH TO CHANGE, MAD

ENOUGH TO DO SOMETHING, MAD ENOUGH TO STAND UP TO THAT

WHICH THEY'RE UNAPOLOGETIC. THEY'RE STANDING UP THROWING

BRICKS THROUGH WINDOWS. THEY'RE BOLD ENOUGH TO GET

IT OUT THERE AND INCITE RIOTS AND VIOLENCE. WE'RE

NOT DOING THOSE THINGS. WE'RE NOT INCITING HATE, BUT

WE NEED PEOPLE WITH A BACKBONE AND WITH THE LOVE

OF GOD IN THEIR HEART TO GET PLANTED. COME ON, THAT'S WHY

I'M SAYING, DON'T BE A LIVE STREAM REMOTE CLICKER. YOU

KNOW, YESTERDAY I WAS FLIPPING THROUGH AFTER

NEBRASKA WAS DOING TERRIBLE. I WAS GOING THROUGH

DIFFERENT GAMES. WELL, SOME PEOPLE DO THAT WITH THEIR

LIVE STREAM EXPERIENCE. OH, YOU'RE MY CHURCH, REALLY?

THEN WHY DO YOU TURN THE CHANNEL? YOU NEED TO PUT THE

REMOTE DOWN, EXCEPT TO TURN THE SOUND UP OR TURN IT

DOWN. OR IF I START SINGING, YOU CAN MUTE IT. BUT HERE'S

THE THING, THE TRUTH IS, COME ON, BE PLANTED. IF THIS

IS YOUR CHURCH BY LIVE STREAM, BE PLANTED. IF IT'S

AT NINE O'CLOCK, GET THERE AT NINE O'CLOCK. BE

COMMITTED, THIS IS YOUR CHURCH, GET COMMITTED. DON'T

JUST COME TO CHURCH, SERVE, SERVE. YOU KNOW, I WANNA

GIVE A SHOUT OUT TO SOMEBODY. I WANNA GIVE A

SHOUT OUT TO DALE, WHO IS THE GENERAL MANAGER AT CHOP

HOUSE. HE CAN'T COME EVERY SUNDAY BECAUSE OF THE

RESPONSIBILITY THAT HE HAS AS THE EL CAPITAN OF THE

CHOP HOUSE. BUT YOU KNOW WHAT HE'S DOING? YOU'LL SEE

HIM IN THE BACK WHEN HE'S HERE WITH HIS JACKET ON AS

AN USHER SERVING IN THE HOUSE OF THE LORD. SO DON'T

TELL ME WHY I WORK, SO DOES HE. LET'S PUT OUR EXCUSES

ASIDE AND LET'S START GETTING A BACKBONE. AND

LET'S START SHOWING SOCIETY THAT THERE IS A RELEVANCE TO

GOD (CONGREGATION APPLAUDING) AND TO THIS

THING WE CALL THE ECCLESIA, THE CHURCH. HERE'S THE

SECOND THING. THOSE THAT BE PLANTED IN THE HOUSE OF THE

LORD SHALL FLOURISH IN THE COURTS OF OUR GOD. WATCH

THIS. THEY SHALL BRING FORTH FRUIT. OH, THERE IS, YOU'RE

GONNA ACTUALLY HAVE SOME FRUITFUL THINGS, SOME

PROSPEROUS THINGS. YOU'RE GONNA BRING FRUIT IN OLD

AGE. IN OTHER WORDS, YOUR CHURCH INVOLVEMENT AND

COMMITMENT IS TIED TO YOUR LIFESPAN. I DIDN'T WRITE

THAT. HOW MANY WANNA LIVE LONG? HOW MANY WANNA, OKAY,

NOBODY WANTS TO LIVE LONG? OKAY, IT'S NOT A TRICK

QUESTION HERE. I MEAN, MY GOD, I KNOW YOU DON'T LIKE

ME, BUT LET'S JUST BE HONEST WITH WHAT I JUST SAID. THEY

SHALL BRING FORTH FRUIT IN OLD AGE. THEY SHALL BE FAT

AND FLOURISHING. NO, THAT'S NOT SAYING THAT YOU'RE GONNA

NOW GAIN WEIGHT. IT JUST MEANS YOU'RE GONNA BE

PROSPEROUS. LOOK AT VERSE 16. WHY? OH, VERSE 15. WHY?

WHY GO TO CHURCH? WELL, YOU'LL BEAR FRUIT, YOU'LL

LIVE LONG, BUT YOU'RE GONNA HELP TO SHOW THAT THE LORD

IS UPRIGHT. HE'S YOUR ROCK IN A VERY UNSETTLED WORLD,

AND YOU'RE GONNA SHOW THE WORLD THAT THERE IS NO

UNRIGHTEOUSNESS IN HIM. YOU ARE GOING TO LITERALLY BE

THE STANDARD THAT THE EARTH NEEDS. LET'S PRAY. HEAVENLY

FATHER, I THANK YOU TODAY THAT THIS MESSAGE I BELIEVE

STIRRED IN THE HEARTS OF THE PEOPLE TODAY. AND I PRAY

THAT, GOD, THAT THEY WOULD HEAR THE HEART OF THIS

PREACHER. AND THAT IS TO STIR 'EM UP. TO FIRST AND

FOREMOST, TO LOVE YOU WITH ALL THEIR HEART, SOUL, MIND,

AND STRENGTH. AND THEN SECOND, LORD, TO LOVE ONE

ANOTHER. AND WITH THAT LOVING, IT MEANS COMING

TOGETHER AS THE EXPRESSION OF THE BODY OF CHRIST.

BELIEVERS WHO LOVE GOD AND LOVE ONE ANOTHER. AND LORD,

FROM THERE, WE BEGIN TO BE THE LIGHT THAT SHINES IN THE

MIDST OF A CROOKED AND PERVERSE GENERATION. THE

SALT OF THE EARTH. AND GOD, WE'RE UNASHAMED. WE WON'T

PUT OUR LIGHT UNDER ANY KIND OF CANDLE. WE WON'T HIDE IT.

AND I PRAY THAT THIS SUNDAY, THAT THERE WOULD BE

SOMETHING LIKE WE SAW WHEN 9/11 CAME TO OUR COUNTRY. WE

SAW PATRIOTISM, BUT WE ALSO SAW A RETURN TO GOD AND

RETURN TO THE HOUSE OF THE LORD. LORD, WHAT WE'VE

EXPERIENCED OVER THE LAST FEW DAYS HAVE BEEN HORRIFIC

FOR OUR COUNTRY. BUT YET AT THE SAME TIME, IT'S BEEN

GOOD BECAUSE I THINK IT'S AWAKENED, IT'S MADE US, I

DON'T KNOW THE WORD, FATHER, IT'S CAUSED US TO BE

AWAKENED TO WHERE WE NOW ARE STARTING TO SAY, YOU KNOW

WHAT, WE NEED TO DO SOMETHING WITH OUR LIFE. WE

NEED TO START LOOKING AT WHY WE'RE HERE AND WHAT IS OUR

PURPOSE AND DO SOMETHING WITH IT. BE A VOICE, TAKE A

STAND, MAKE A DIFFERENCE THROUGH THE LOVE OF GOD,

EXPRESS TO A GENERATION THAT DESPERATELY NEEDS IT. THANK

YOU FOR THAT. NOW I WANNA DO THIS WITH EVERY HEAD BOWED

AND EVERY EYE CLOSED, JUST A FEW SECONDS. MAYBE YOU'RE

HERE TODAY AND YOU'RE WATCHING AND YOU'VE NEVER

ASKED JESUS CHRIST TO COME INTO YOUR HEART, TO FORGIVE

YOUR SINS AND TO BE THE LORD OF YOUR LIFE. I WANNA ASK

YOU A VERY BOLD QUESTION. IF YOU WERE TO DIE TODAY, DO

YOU KNOW 100% IF YOU'D GO TO HEAVEN OR NOT? THAT'S AN

HONEST QUESTION 'CAUSE YOU KNOW, MANY OF US, WE HAVE A

LIFE INSURANCE POLICY, RIGHT? JUST IN CASE

SOMETHING HAPPENS. YEAH, BUT THEN WE PLAY WITH OUR

ETERNAL LIFE. WE NEED TO BE SURE, AND WE DO. JESUS SAID,

"TODAY IS THE DAY OF SALVATION." THE BIBLE SAYS

IF YOU BELIEVE IN YOUR HEART THAT GOD RAISED JESUS FROM

THE DEAD, YOU'LL BE SAVED. IF YOU CONFESS AND YOU CALL

UPON THE NAME OF THE LORD, YOU'LL BE SAVED. WHOEVER

CALLS ON THE NAME OF THE LORD WILL BE SAVED. IT'S NOT

GOING TO CHURCH. IT'S NOT BEING A PARTICULAR RELIGION.

IT'S NOT EVEN HAVING A STANDARD, WELL, I DO GOOD

THINGS. JESUS SAID NO ONE IS GOOD BUT GOD ALONE. IT'S

HAVE YOU TAKEN THE TIME TO PERSONALLY INVITE JESUS TO

COME INTO YOUR HEART, WHERE YOU GET OFF THE THRONE OF

YOUR HEART, AND YOU LET JESUS COME AND SIT THERE AS

THE LORD OF YOUR LIFE. IF YOU'RE IN THIS ROOM OR

YOU'RE WATCHING TODAY AND YOU SAY, "PREACHER, I WANT

YOU TO PRAY FOR ME. "I'VE NEVER, EVER, EVER ASKED

JESUS TO COME IN MY HEART, "BUT I NEED TO AND I WANT

TO." I WANT YOU TO BE BOLD. COME ON, THIS IS A BOLD

GENERATION. CHARLIE KIRK WAS BOLD, RIGHT? JESUS WAS BOLD.

THIS PREACHER'S BOLD. I WANT YOU TO BE BOLD. 'CAUSE WHAT

YOU'RE ASHAMED OF, YOU'LL NEVER WALK IN THE BOLDNESS.

WANT YOU TO RAISE YOUR HAND IF YOU SAY, "PREACHER,

THAT'S ME, PRAY FOR ME." RAISE YOUR HAND, PRAY FOR

ME. ALL RIGHT, THERE'S ONE HAND. ALL RIGHT, NOW I'M

GONNA ASK YOU TO DO SOMETHING BOLDER. AND ALL

WE'RE GONNA DO IS JUST PRAY A CORPORATE PRAYER. BUT I

WANT YOU TO COME DOWN TO THE FRONT REAL QUICK. AND THOSE

OF YOU THAT ARE WATCHING, I WANT YOU, IF YOU WANT TO

ACCEPT JESUS CHRIST, PUT YOUR HAND UP, COME ON, WE'RE

GONNA PRAY FOR YOU. THAT'S ALL I'M GONNA DO. I'M JUST

GONNA PRAY A PRAYER, BUT I WANT YOU TO TAKE A BOLD

STAND. IF I JUST HAD YOU PRAY RIGHT THERE IN YOUR

CHAIR, YOU MIGHT JUST WALK OUT AND THEN, YOU KNOW,

MAYBE YOUR WALK WITH GOD WON'T BE WHERE YOU REALLY

WANT IT TO BE. AND I JUST THANK YOU. THANK YOU SO

MUCH. I REALLY APPRECIATE IT. WHAT'S YOUR NAME?

(CONGREGATION APPLAUDING) TELL ME AGAIN. TORI, NICE TO

MEET YOU. THANK YOU FOR COMING. ARE YOU FROM HERE?

TWO PHONES, THANK YOU, TORI. HOW ABOUT YOU? WHERE ARE YOU

FROM? FROM HERE. OH, NICE TO SEE YOU. HI, WHAT'S YOUR

NAME? SAMUEL. OH. HOW DO YOU CALL MY SON? SAMUEL, THAT'S

LIKE A BIBLICAL NAME. YES, IT IS. DO YOU KNOW HE'S IN

THE BIBLE? WHERE DO YOU LIVE?

COME BACK AND SEE ME, SAMUEL. AND SOMEBODY'S GOING

TO BUY YOU A PIZZA OUT THERE. YOU LIKE PIZZA? YES.

YEAH, I LIKE PIZZA, TOO. I KNOW. DON'T LOOK TOO CLOSE

HERE, BUT I LIKE PIZZA. AND YOU KNOW, TODAY THE PACKERS

ARE PLAYING, SO WE HAVE PACKERS AND PIZZA. IT'S A

TRADITION. COME ON UP HERE. I'M NOT GOING TO BITE YOU. I

KNOW I PREACH BOLD, BUT I'M NOT GOING TO BITE YOU. I

MEAN, IF YOU LOOK CLOSER, YOU LOOK KIND OF LIKE, YOU

KNOW, SYLVESTER STALLONE, A LITTLE BIT OF ELVIS, RIGHT?

I MEAN, WHAT'S YOUR NAME? THAT'S A BEAUTIFUL NAME.

SO THAT'S LIKE REALLY ELIZABETH, ISN'T IT?

NOT REALLY EVEN CLOSE. I THOUGHT IT WAS.

ISABELLA. DO YOU GO BY BELLA?

NO? WELL, I'M GOING TO CALL YOU BELLA. IF YOU COME BACK

HERE, THAT'LL BE YOUR NICKNAME. HOW'S THAT SOUND? AND WHERE

ARE YOU FROM? THANK YOU FOR COMING. HOW ABOUT YOU, MAN?

WHERE ARE YOU FROM? IT'S TREY? WHERE AT IN TEXAS?

HOUSTON AREA. ALL RIGHT, YOU A DALLAS COWBOY FAN? OH,

GOOD, 'CAUSE MAN, I WOULD HAVE TO GET SOMEBODY ELSE TO

PRAY FOR YOU RIGHT NOW, YOU KNOW, 'CAUSE NEXT WEEK WE

PLAY, YOU KNOW. ALL RIGHT, WHY DON'T YOU GUYS COME ON

UP HERE. I'M GONNA KNEEL DOWN RIGHT HERE, COME ON. I

WANNA PRAY FOR YOU. ANYBODY ELSE, I WANNA JUST OPEN IT

UP. ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT. ANYBODY ELSE? I FEEL LIKE

THERE'S STILL ONE MORE PERSON. YOUR HEART'S

BEATING. THE REASON IT'S BEATING IS BECAUSE YOU'RE

SUPPOSED TO GET OUT AND COME HERE. COME ON, ONE MORE

PERSON. I JUST WANT YOU TO BE BOLD. DON'T DO IT FOR ME,

DO IT FOR GOD. ALL RIGHT, I'M GONNA GIVE YOU A... AH,

THERE YOU ARE. ALL RIGHT, DUDE. (CONGREGATION APPLAUDING)

MAN! ALL RIGHT, SO I GOTTA ASK YOU A

QUESTION. WHAT'S YOUR NAME, FIRST OF ALL?

CHRISTIAN? DUDE, WERE YOUR PARENTS CHRISTIAN?

YOU DIDN'T GROW UP? HOW'D YOU COME UP WITH THE NAME

CHRISTIAN AND KNOW CHRISTIANS? WOW, ALL RIGHT,

I'M GONNA ASK YOU A QUESTION 'CAUSE YOU GOT AWARD-WINNING

SMILE. YOU DO, WHAT DO YOU DO?

MAN, I WAS GONNA SAY, YOU ARE SUCH A LEADER. I SAW YOU

WALK DOWN HERE, I'M LIKE, YOU HAVE AN AWARD-WINNING

SMILE THAT PEOPLE COULD BELIEVE ANYTHING THAT YOU

SAY, MAN. YEAH, ARE YOU A FOOTBALL GUY? YEAH, ME TOO,

AS YOU CAN TELL. I'M NOT REALLY BASKETBALL. I USED TO

BE, BUT I'M NOT REALLY. I PLAYED IN THE NFL. I DON'T

KNOW IF YOU KNEW THAT. DID YOU KNOW I PLAYED IN THE

NFL? YEAH, I KNOW. I DON'T TELL VERY MANY PEOPLE. IT

WAS A NEIGHBORHOOD FOOTBALL LEAGUE. SO THAT'S HOW I

PLAYED. BUT I DID. YOU LIKED THAT, DIDN'T YOU? ALL RIGHT,

COME ON OVER, I'M NOT GONNA BITE. COME ON OVER. I WANT

YOU GUYS JUST TO KIND OF LINE UP IN A STRAIGHT LINE

OR YOU CAN HUDDLE OVER. ALL RIGHT, CHRISTIAN, YOU READY?

WE'RE GONNA PRAY A PRAYER. THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE

WATCHING, YOU'RE GONNA PRAY WITH ME. AND IT'S JUST

REALLY EASY. IF I COULD HAVE SOME OTHER PASTORS, PASTOR

ANTHONY, THIS IS ONE OF OUR GAME CHANGERS RIGHT HERE.

HE'S GONNA PRAY. EILEEN, IF YOU COULD COME. ALL RIGHT,

HEAVENLY, I WANT YOU TO REPEAT AFTER ME. I WANT YOU

YOU TO DO. SO IF YOU HAVE A BIBLE, THERE'S SOME

SCRIPTURES IN HERE. JUST GET YOUR BIBLE OUT AND COMPARE

THE SCRIPTURES. THIS IS GONNA TELL YOU REALLY WHAT

HAPPENED TO YOU TODAY AND HOW YOU CAN EXPERIENCE A NEW

BIRTH. 'CAUSE YOU KNOW, MY WIFE GAVE BIRTH TO TWO KIDS.

THANK GOD I DIDN'T HAVE TO 'CAUSE YOU KNOW, SHE WAS IN

A LOT OF PAIN, RIGHT? BUT WE COULDN'T JUST HAVE OUR CHILD

BORN AND THEN THEY'RE JUST PUT OUT THERE ON THEIR OWN,

RIGHT? OKAY, KID, FIGURE IT OUT FOR YOURSELF, RIGHT? I

MEAN, WE WOULDN'T DO THAT TO ANYBODY. WOULD YOU, I MEAN,

YOU WOULDN'T DO THAT. AS A COACH, YOU WOULDN'T DO THAT.
