And uh the uh I'll be doing the responsive reading and we're coming from uh the work of the Holy Spirit.

And uh as we start here we go. Um, but now I go my way to him that sent me, and none uh and none of you ask me, "Where go thou?" >> Nevertheless, I tell you the truth, it is expedient for you that I go away. For if I go not away, the com the comforter will will not unto you.

But if I depart, I will send him unto you. >> And when he is come, he will sin and of righteousness and judgement >> of sin because they believe not on me. >> Of righteousness because I go to my father and he see me no more.

glorify me and shall it all the father say that he shall take mine and shall show it unto you. >> Good morning boy. Dick Bernard says, "Some of y'all need to smile." >> It's okay.

>> Yeah. Keep on smiling. 2 Corinthians 5:1 says, "For we know that if the earthly tents we live in is destroyed, we have a building from God, an eternal house in heaven, not built by human hands.

will be held on the 24th. That's going to be at the BFW Post 3746. That's on Crawford Road.

Let us uplift that family and their prayers in this time of need. Our express sympathies also go out to Sister Carrie Bryce and family in the passing of her nephew Jeffrey McFaten of Monroe, North Carolina. The funeral arrangements have not yet been confirmed.

Um, as we know, we will make sure that you have that information as well. Let us continue to bring coins for the crown out invest view. There is the coin bucket and certainly this is to ensure success for no coin um for Miss Sandy to bring the crown back home.

So keep her in mind. Please join the faithful few for 20 minutes on Sunday's prayer line that's coming up this Saturday, May 2nd. That's going to be at 11:00 a.m.

until 11:20. The detailed conference call and the doubt code is located on the back of your church bulletin. And if need if you need a prayer, by all means certainly come or call in to participate.

Mother's Day is on May 10th and the Brotherhood Ministry has something special planned for the ladies of the church. Please stay tuned for the announcement from Pastor Barbara on behalf of the Brotherhood Ministry. The Sandy River Youth um department is going to have a field day and that's coming up this Saturday as well.

That's Saturday, May 2nd. And that's going to be at Great Joy. practice for the children will be this coming Tuesday at 6 pm.

Um that's going to be here at the church. And if you have any additional questions, certainly you can contact Brother Lawrence or contact um myself. But we certainly want our youth to participate, come out and have a really good time.

And if you're not doing anything, it's definitely a fun day to be sure. Now, the deadline to register to vote in the North Carolina Democratic primary is going to be on May 9th, but At this point, we're going to have Sister Fay Miles come up with some additional information that we definitely need. >> Good morning, Board Hill.

>> Morning. >> Uh, just a couple of announcements. I know we had bulletin May 1st uh the last day I mean excuse me May 11th last day for vote mail uh vote by mail or register by mail u but I haven't seen that anywhere else but I do have some information May 10th register to vote I guess if we go a day earlier we'll be sure to get in but before you do that uh please check scbo votes.gov to make sure that you are still registered and haven't been purged from the list um to vote before you go because the primary is June 9th.

Uh this is Democratic primary. I was given Democratic information. Don't have Republican, but if you have some of that, you can bring it and we'll share.

Uh early voting starts May 26. It runs through June the 5th, Friday 8:30 until 5:00 p.m. And locations Fire Training Center of York.

It's on McFarland Road. Holiday in Rock Hill at Galleria Mall. Um that's behind the behind the mall and Carolina's Cornerstone is in Fort Mill.

Um do not have any locations for North Carolina. So if you're interested in any of the the uh people running for positions under the Democratic uh ticket, I have that here. Also on the mental health workshop that brother James mentioned, uh the sheet that's going to be on the table has the barcode that you can scan if you plan to attend Friday night.

Uh and even if you talk to someone that you're bringing and they don't have the code, uh just tell them to come on out and join us. We're going to have some useful and helpful information. And two of our speakers will be our own sister Linda Love and Reverend Shamica Simmons going to be two of our panelists.

So please come out and join us Friday at 6. Thank you. Just a further note on voting.

Um, let's be sure that we understand that all politics is local. And if you're not really concerned or not sure about that, check your gas prices. That'll give you a clue.

Um, it is imperative this year, regardless how you vote. The church is not here to tell you to vote one way or another. But for many years, many, many, many years, this right did not exist for us.

And I think it wasn't up until 1964 when the civil rights were passed. That's two years after I was born. So that's how close we are.

And to take this for granted and not vote or to be, for lack of a better way of putting it, lazy or politically irresponsible is to shame our ancestors. So that is the important business. Find out how to vote, ask somebody how to vote, bring somebody to vote with you, you know, figure it out because if you don't vote, then you also forfeit any reason you have to complain about anything.

God does his job. Let's do our job here on earth. Right.

>> At this point, we'd like to ask any visitors to please stand up and state their name and church affiliation if so inclined. We will bring a microphone to you. Come on out once.

We see you. >> My name is Cheryl Carol. I'm your neighbor.

I live around the corner and um I belong to St. Emanuel. Amen.

>> Good morning. >> Good morning. >> My name is Theo Jackson Octavia.

We're with the National Baptist Deacons Convention of America Incorporated. And we just like to thank uh Pastor Barber and the leadership for hosting us uh last month for a Saturday workshop here at the Family Rights Center uh for region one. Uh Deacon Carter Grant is our um president for regional one.

Just wanted to come and worship with you to say thank you for your leadership and for hosting us and we're enjoying the worship service. >> Amen. >> Well, to all our visitors, we don't take your attendance lightly.

We certainly appreciate you coming out and fellowship fellowshipping with us. And our hearts and the doors of the church are forever open to you. Have a blessed and productive win.

And I have to say, um, so our prayers go out for some of the Boston Red Sox fans. It was very rough week. Have a good week.

Amen. >> Let his heart say amen. >> It's good.

I always say that we have so much religion we can't even say amen. But I believe in making a joyful noise. >> One day you going to want to smile and can't smile.

>> Certainly we give all praises to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Certainly just good to be in the number one time Jackson. Certainly it's good to have you and your lovely bride here today.

You're too late for tomorrow and too early for July. So tomorrow should be a breather. If we get here at 7:00, I promise you 8:00, you ought to be on your way home.

Again, uh let me commend the women's convention. On yesterday, I was able to attend the uh semianual session yesterday at Gl under the leadership of sister F and that I enjoyed yesterday. Everything was right on time and in order.

Thank you so much and thank those that it was not robbery to attend on yesterday. On the 9th on the 9th, which is the 7th Saturday, the Brotherhood is going to give the latest breakfast from 9 to 11. And if you don't show up, don't blame it on us.

and all the men that know have already informed them what to bring and certainly we want that next Sunday so we make sure that it's here and certainly we say to the ladies uh don't have us to fix and you don't show up. I know it's going to be 9:00 to 11. So don't get here at 5 minutes to 11 and expect the state all the states to be gone by that time.

So uh please man and please uh and to our men's make to make sure you live up to your obligation. You know what you are to bring and certainly we're looking for you to bring what you have said. Also let us pray for sister Nelson is in the hospital.

So let us pray for her because it's her now and we don't know who's going to be next. As she was singing the song this morning, this old building keep on leaning >> and after a while that ache that pain you got is only let you know that the building is keep on leaning >> and after a while you going to come to the end. It's going to be all over with.

So let us be ready for that time. Again, I still can't thank you enough for our 27th anniversary on last week. So in the 27 years, I believe that the 27th was the best that it ever been.

The first was good, but the 27 was even more better. Thank all of you from the very depths of my heart for what you've done, your comments, whatever you've done for that 27th anniversary. Certain that my family and I thank you from the very depths of our heart.

So, we're still waiting for him to give me a call to let me know and when he gives me a call, I will let you know. So, I told him to make sure it would be on a Sunday when you are here. And so that's what we looking forward to.

Uh when he gives me a call, I will certainly let you know. God bless you and heavens continue to smile on you. And let me say we know that all of us are going through something.

Let us continue to pray for one another. >> You may be doing all right now. Your bills are paid.

Everything is to your liking and your health is doing good. But there's always somebody going through. Pray for them.

And when your time come, you're going to want somebody to pray for you. God bless you. And heaven smile on you.

The ushers are going to come now to make preparation for our tithe and our offering. Pastor, didn't you forget something? >> Didn't you forget something?

>> Didn't your great nephew get drafted by the Dallas Cowboys? >> I mean, if it had have been the Giants, >> it Hey, WE'VE SEEN THE BAD out here. Now, when I need to be reminded by something, he don't say nothing.

>> I GOT HIM. not coming down the road. >> You'll never >> NEVER sir one day.

may not >> Hallelujah. OH MY >> thank you. Oh, >> all of us CHAR >> STAY ON THE MAN.

TELL ME WHAT YOU WANT. >> Just tell GOD ALL ABOUT IT. >> You're doing good.

Tell him >> you're feeling bad. Tell him love in your heart. >> Yes.

>> And a smile on your face. >> Like Walker said this morning, stop coming up there with these frowns ON YOUR FACE. OH, GOD WILL LIFT YOU up right around >> to serve >> this present age >> my calling.

to fulfill >> may it all >> my power engage >> to do my master's will >> a father and our god is again you allowed us to come together one more time >> we do not know when it's going to be our last but help us >> to do the thing that's pleasing in your sight And when we come together, let us enjoy >> one another >> because we know today not the hour >> that it's all going to come to an end. >> Yes. >> Less of me today and more of you.

>> When I've done all that you signed my hearts and hands to do, I'm not looking for the highest seat in glory. But wherever you place me in your kingdom, >> we'll be all right. For it's in your son Jesus name.

I ask it all. And the saints of God says amen. >> Do I make it great of all things to my co-s?

It's again that he have allowed me to stand one more time >> realizing it's not because I've been so good but only by the grace of God >> that I'm able to stand now. >> Let me just ask this question. Is this my family from New from >> Sha?

All right. I I'm I'm I'm looking and I said I know it's it's got to be it's got to be certain. It's good to have you all here.

When you was coming through the door, you know, my eyes when you go to going up in age, your eyes even fool you. People look like somebody else. But hey, but it's good to see you here this morning.

>> And this young lady, we travel to Paris together. We several places together and every time she always say, "Cuz we got to take a picture together." She got so many pictures of me till it's unbelievable. So, it's good to have you with us here this morning.

And I believe I saw Sutton and Lindsay come in this morning. Both of them look just alike. You don't know one from the other, but I saw them.

And good to have you in our presence this morning. And certainly we know that God is able >> and he'll never >> say no. >> Maybe he said no to you, >> but he never said no to me.

Even though he didn't do things the way I wanted it to do, >> but he always worked things out for our good. >> Amen. >> Yeah.

We So often we want it one way, >> but it's not the way that he wanted to work. And I thank God that he'll never say no >> for a few minutes in Acts the fourth chapter of Acts this morning and uh while while you're turning I saw Reverend Hill this week and she told me to tell you all that she's doing well and to keep on praying for her because she'sing praying for you. >> Acts the fourth chapter, the book of Acts and only one verse and that's that 13th verse.

Acts 4:13 it reads, "Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John and proceeded that they were unlearned and ignorant men they marvel and and they took knowledge of them that they had been with Jesus." The people of God said, "Amen." >> For a few minutes, discerning dynamite, but don't. And my brothers and sisters, I say all the time, we don't have to have a big Bible under our arm. >> That's right.

Amen. >> To let people know we been with Jesus. >> Amen.

the way you live. >> Let men, women, boys, and girls know >> whether or not you've been with Jesus. >> Let me say you you you you're still with Jesus >> because some of us got with him a long time ago.

And along the way, we walked off from him. >> But I advise you this morning to stay with him. Don't leave him.

He's not going to leave you. If any leaving be done, it'll be us and not him. Discerning dynamite but don't.

We find here Jerusalem was wrecked by an explosion of love. Pentecost had launched a mass respond to the gospel. 3,000 was converted under Peter's preaching.

You'll find that in Acts two. Mighty answers to prayer was evidence to the community. And I wonder when we leave out of here, do we show signs that we've been in God's service?

>> All right. Or do we just leave here with business as usual doing the same old thing? When you leave here, you ought to leave here and somebody ought to know that you've been in the house of God.

Now it's a little different now, but years ago, Sunday morning, you didn't have to ask people where they were going >> because you knew they were going to church. >> And by the way, you knew they were going to church. >> All right.

All right. But it's sad to say now >> they can be going to church and you don't want to going to the church until the nightclub. >> I used to get excited on Sunday to get dressed >> to go to church >> knowing that I had to put on the same thing >> I had on last Sunday.

But I was excited >> because I'm going to church. >> And it was something about the church >> that gave me a different feeling. >> It It WAS SOMETHING ABOUT WHEN YOU WALK THROUGH THE DOOR, >> there's a different feeling.

>> I never shall forget my we got up one morning and said, I say, "Father, my head's hurt this morning. He said, "Son, that's all right. You get ready to go the doctor.

We're going to the where the doctor is." >> And I'm thinking that we're going to the doctor's office somewhere. >> And he said, "The doctor is at the church." >> And my brothers and sisters, I dare you to feel in bed and come to the house of prayer. >> Amen.

>> A change can take place. Somebody know what I'm saying? Have you ever been feeling bad and coming to church and all of a sudden feeling go?

You don't even know when it >> left. Amen. >> Well, I can witness that >> many times sitting in this chair, body racking with pain.

>> All right. >> But when I get up, >> it goes away. >> That's why I God is always on time.

and and and and a different feeling when you leave here today. If you came for the right reason, >> listen. If you came for the right reason, >> when you leave here, you ought to feel better than you did before you came.

>> Now, if you came for the wrong reason, you going to feel the same way. >> You might even feel worse. But we find we find here we find here that uh thousand was saved.

I said under Peter's preaching. >> Marvelous healing of a lame man was performed at the temple. >> So that lets me know that strange things happen when you come to the temple.

Yes, >> Jesus will meet you in the temple. >> Peter called to repentance for and faith brought 5,000 more to Christ. >> Religious leaders was upset.

Religious leaders upset because people were converted. And don't you know even today sometime people will come and give their life to Christ instead of us rejoicing. It ain't going to last.

Yeah. I I I I I know what they're doing. I know what they're doing.

It ain't going to last. But what are you doing trying to help it to land? >> He said when you get strengthened, strengthen your brother.

He He didn't say step on him. He say strengthen your brother. >> Yeah.

Well, they I bet you and people will bet on you. I bet you it ain't going to last. >> All right.

>> And the more they see you, the more they get upset. >> The more they ought to rejoice when they see you. But yeah, yeah.

Yeah. I say was religious leaders getting upset. The high priest and others questioned Peter and John in that sixth and eighth verse.

Peter pointed to God's power in the healing of this lame man. And you know, a lot of times we do something, we take God's credit. >> Look what I done.

>> Look what I done. But let me say to you, you can't do nothing without God's power. Even when you doing wrong, you're using God's power.

>> So true. >> Because everything moves >> by the power >> of God >> of God. >> Yes.

He reminded his question of the people that was questioning him of the cross in that 10th verse. And also in that 10th verse, he declared the resurrection to be true. Yes, he insists on faith in Christ as the only way of salvation.

>> Yes, critics react when Peter and John began to perform. And people will look at you sometime when the spirit is on you. They will look at you and say, "WELL, THEY DON'T TAKE ALL OF THAT." YES, >> but I got news for you.

GOING TO TAKE ALL OF THAT AND some more, too. >> Amen. >> We have a tendency to judge.

>> You don't know what God have done for them. >> That's right. >> And I tell people all the time when you hear me talk about how good God had been to me, how God brought me off of my sick bed, well, Obama bragging again.

I don't care what you say. I'm being thankful that God been good to me. >> And maybe he'll do a little more FOR YOU IF YOU ARE A LITTLE more thankful.

>> I'm not ashamed >> to let people know wherever I go, >> God been good to me. >> But did not he said, "If you're ashamed to own me before man, I'll be ashamed to own you before my father." So let me say brothers and sisters, but wherever you are, don't let don't be ashamed to let the world know you're a child of God. >> Sometime we'll try to hide it.

>> But let me say, if God treated us like we treated him, >> the church would be empty. would none of us be in here because we do not treat him as well as he treat us. >> Amen.

>> And I'm glad I I'm glad I'm glad he don't treat me the way I treat him >> because all of us come up short. >> Oh, I don't care how holy, how sanctified you are, YOU GOT SOME FATHERS. >> You don't do everything right.

Amen. >> You may think YOU DO, >> BUT ALL OF US >> GOT some fault. >> But I'm glad I'm glad that I SERVE THAT GOD THAT LOOKS BEYOND OUR FATHER.

>> He sees our need. >> Thank you, Lord. >> Who wouldn't serve a God like that?

>> There's three little things I want to mention and we going to finish. They recognized their daring. >> Peter and John had been arrested the day before >> in that third verse.

Preaching about the resurrection was dangerous. >> And you know, folks don't like to hear you talk about Jesus. >> That's right.

You go to talking about Jesus, we talk about the Dallas Cowboys and Boston Red Sox, >> Los Angeles Dodgers. We can talk all day. >> BUT GO TO TALKING ABOUT JESUS.

>> CHILD, I I I got to go. I I'm enjoying, but I got to go. They get in a hurry.

But we ought to take the same interest in Jesus. >> Help me somebody >> teaching about Jesus could have cost them >> their lives. The great response 5,000 plays them in jeopardy.

>> Wow. >> Standing firm for the gospel seem like problem. But beating your enemy will cause problems.

In other words, if you don't agree with your enemy, you get in trouble. >> Amen. I I I watch Judge Judy all the time and her favorite word, my decision is the only one that counts.

>> And don't you know some of us the same way? >> Our decision is the only one that counts. But the ONLY ONE THAT COUNT IS JESUS DECISION.

>> AMEN. >> Not yours. >> That's right.

>> Not mine. >> Yes. The leaders marvel at their boldness >> say >> in the face of danger.

>> My question, do others see the boldness in declaring our faith? >> Well, >> yes. Their research indicate these men's were dumb.

>> When they checked their educational background, the background committee reported that these men's was dumb. >> These powerful preachers was called unlearned. >> And let me be honest.

Let me be honest. And I don't knock education, don't get me wrong, >> but I've discovered even in the church, >> if you don't have as much education as I have, >> you get looked over. >> But I stopped by to tell somebody, when you doing God's business, >> you don't have to have a PhD.

AMEN. >> GOD IS able >> God is able >> to use those that you call dumb and unlearn. >> Amen.

>> If God CAN MAKE A MUTE TALK, >> SOMEBODY, >> he can do wonders with us. Amen. >> But they were looking at Peter and John >> because he said they were unlearned.

>> BUT I AM A LIVING WITNESS. >> BUT GOD GAVE YOU SOMETHING TO DO. GOD QUALIFIES YOU TO DO >> what he wants you to do.

>> It make no difference what people say. That's right. >> Come on up.

>> If you go back to our old grandmothers and grandfathers >> Uhhuh. >> couldn't read. >> Not right.

>> So true. >> Look at the foundation >> that they laid for us. >> Yes.

>> LOOK AT HOW GOD blessed them. Amen. >> And if he done it then, >> he'll do it now.

>> Well, he said, "I'm the same now >> as I was yesterday." >> Yes. >> Yes. >> These powerful preachers >> was called, I said, unlearned.

Uh-huh. >> Their critic concluded that they were ignorant. >> This only raised more question.

>> How could dumb people >> be so dynamite? >> Come on. >> How could the unlearned be so discerned?

What was THE SECRET OF THEIR POWER? >> Let me give you the reason. >> Their resource must have been divine.

>> Something was going on here that transcend human ability. Come on up. These unprepared one had become great preachers.

>> When I were coming up, there are some preachersh >> that could even read, >> but they were powerful preaching. >> Somehow they knew >> the word of the Lord. Hello.

>> And what I like about the God that I serve, >> he will prepare you for the task. >> I know one preacher, his wife would read to him >> and he could set the church on fire. >> Why?

because God was on the inside of him. >> A lot of us still have Jesus on the cross, >> but he's not there now. >> I don't wear a cross >> with Jesus on it.

>> He's not dead. He is alive. >> He's no longer >> on the cross.

>> But I'm glad that when he got up out the grave, >> he rolled >> in my life. >> Yes. These untaught ones >> had become effective teachers.

Yes. Come on. >> There was only one answer.

>> Come on. >> They had been with Jesus. >> As I said earlier, I don't have to wear a cross.

>> Uhhuh. >> Big enough to cover my whole chest >> to let somebody know that I know Jesus. >> I don't need >> to walk with a Bible under my arm.

to let folks know that I been with Jesus. >> All I got to do is live the life. >> Live the life.

>> That's what speak for you. >> You can talk >> all you want, >> but the way you live >> is what people say. Well, I tell folks all the time, it's good to see a Bible walking >> than it is under your >> arm.

>> The life you live >> speak for itself. >> I say all the time at a film. >> If you don't go to church >> when you alive, Why take advantage so >> of a person and bring them all the way down front?

>> I think you're taking advantage of them. >> They have the opportunity >> but they wouldn't take it. >> That's right.

>> And then people want you to put them in heaven. I don't care what kind of life >> a person live. >> When they stretch out across here, >> they the best person that ever live.

>> And I always say that when you're alive, >> they will lie on you. >> But when you die, they lie for you. Oh, >> I never want you will forget.

I was up at a church, three boys, and the man had four sons. >> Three of the boys got up. >> Talking about how good daddy was.

>> The other boy got up. He said, "You know, I learned something today." >> He said, "I thought we was brothers. I thought we had the same dad.

>> He said, "But the man my brother's talking about, >> I don't know that man. >> He told the truth." >> What I'm saying is that >> sometime we afraid to tell the truth. >> Amen.

>> If I tell the truth, I'mma rock the boat. If I TELL THE TRUTH, FOLKS AIN'T GOING TO like me. >> And to brother Lyn and brother Sutton, don't get upset what I'm going to say now.

Politician >> will tell you a whole bunch of lies >> and don't do half >> of what they say. Yes, sir. >> I realize that some OF THE THINGS YOU WANT TO DO, >> you can't do.

>> But some of THE THINGS YOU CAN DO, YOU DON'T DO. >> But all I'm saying is that when you've been with Jesus, >> you'll do the right thing. >> Yes.

regard to who it >> hurts. >> Because when you look in Revelation, >> records are kept. >> Everything you do >> is written >> in the book.

>> And you hear me say all the time that there going to be a lot of surprises. Two surprises. >> One, >> you going TO BE SURPRISED YOU made it in.

The next surprise going to BE THOSE YOU THOUGHT WAS GOING TO be ain't there >> and the ones YOU THOUGHT WASN'T GOING TO BE there are there. >> But let me close. Let me close.

>> I haven't said much if I don't make somebody mad. >> You see when I make somebody mad, I can close easy. But my brothers and sisters, I said there was only one answer.

>> I said they had been with Jesus. >> Paul would later write of other weak ones >> becoming strong. That's all.

>> But Jesus said, "When you are weak, >> I'll be your strength." >> He said, "When you are lonely, >> I'll comfort you." >> That's right. God has >> often >> used unlearn to do his business. >> And my brothers and sisters, if I come to close, >> he will use you and me.

But all we got to do is surrender to him. >> Let me say to somebody this morning, >> don't get upset because you may not have what people think you ought to have. Wow.

>> But if you surrender to the Lord, >> he'll open doors that been closed in your faith. >> If you surrender to the Lord, >> he'll walk with you >> and he'll talk with you. >> Yes, he will.

What I LIKE ABOUT THE GOD THAT I SERVE, >> he's always making a way >> out of nowhere. >> I do not forget when I first started the preaching, >> I was on a platform with four other preachers. >> Yeah.

They were crossing every tea, >> dotting every eye. >> When they introduced those preachers, uh, they talked about how many degrees that they had. >> I was sitting there feeling bad, >> saying, "Well, Lord, I DON'T HAVE ALL OF THOSE DEGREES." And I could hear him say, >> "If you trust me, >> I MAKE A WAY OUT OF no way." >> I sit there still feeling bad.

And when I got up, I was going to try to do like they did. >> I'm going to try to cross every tea. Yeah.

>> And dot every eye. >> And I was making a mess. >> And I could hear the spirit say, >> "Be yourself.

>> Be what I call you to be." >> I sit there >> and I began to listen. >> Come on. >> At the spirit.

>> Yes. And I I said to the congregation, I'm trying to do what I'm not able to do, >> but if you let me do >> what the Lord will allow me to do, >> I promise you, I'll preach. >> GOD BLESS ME.

And he said to me, >> YOU MAY NOT HAVE A MASTER. YOU MAY NOT HAVE A PHD, >> but one Wednesday evening, >> he gave me a BA degree, >> I'm born again. AND DON'T CARE WHO KNOW IT.

ONE WAY INTO THE EVENING. HE'LL LET ME KNOW UH if you do what I tell you to do UH WITH YOUR BA DEGREE UH HEAVEN BELONGS TO YOU. >> LET ME SAY TO SOMEBODY THIS MORNING, HOLD on to God's unchanging hand.

Yeah. >> Do >> what God >> qualify you to do. >> Stop worrying >> about what somebody else got.

>> Be able >> to do >> what God gave you to do. >> Amen. >> And my brothers and sisters, if you stay in your lane, >> God will bless you.

That's right. >> He can't bless you jumping from one place to another. >> The day you in this lane, tomorrow you're in that lane.

>> Stay in your >> lane. >> God can use you >> when you stay in your lane. >> I I don't worry about people able to do this better than me.

Think about what I can do better than them. >> That's what you got to look at. We worry about what God gave to this one, >> but think about what God gave you >> that he didn't give them.

>> Amen. >> And the God I serve is not crazy. He gives you what you able to handle.

>> Amen. >> I can't handle what Deacon Kennedy can handle. He can't handle what I can handle.

>> We have to handle what God give us. >> All of us. have assignment from him.

>> And sometime we want to be what God don't want us to be. >> That's right. >> OR IT MAY LOOK GOOD TO YOU, >> but it ain't for you.

>> That's right. >> And sometime we get all mixed up. >> Yes.

>> Because things look good. >> And we go trying to do it. >> Amen.

>> That ain't your business. >> That's right. >> Ask God what is >> what is You have me to do >> and it may not be what you want, >> but if you do what God wants you to do, >> you can always be successful.

So often I see things that I want to do. I don't bother with it because I know even in the church. We'll pick folks for position >> that can't do it.

>> But because I like it >> and like ain't going to get the job done all the time. Sometime the old number head is the one for that job, >> but he can't get it or she can't get it because I don't like that person. >> That's right.

>> That's why we serve a just God. >> He loved all of us. That's right.

>> The drug addict. >> The prostitute. He love all of us.

>> But he don't love what we do. >> I love every one of my children, but all of them don't do the things that I like. >> But I still love them.

>> We don't do everything God want us to do, but guess what? He still wakes us up in the morning. >> He still gives us the strength to go back and forth to work every day.

Amen. >> But he does not like >> the things he does not love the things that we do. >> Let me say to all of us ask God what is his will >> for your life?

If he let you know, and he'll let you know. >> It's not what you like, it's what you able to do. >> Well, I like a lot of things, but I'm not able to do.

>> But if you ask him, what is your will for my life? And if you accept the will of God, success is always yours. >> We don't know what you were looking for, but it's the message that he laid on our to give to you today.

>> And he said, "My word >> will not come back for >> somebody got gain from this message this morning. if you accept it. >> See, God gives us what we need if we accept it.

>> That's right. >> But most of the time, we will not accept >> what God give us. >> Your your need your name >> have never put you in the hole.

>> Why? Because the word said, God said, >> I'll supply And we serve a God that don't lie. >> But what put us in the hole is our want.

>> God supplies our need. >> But guess what? And I'm the first one that's guilty.

I'll take my need and supply my want. >> That's right. Oh, I've been there.

My wife will tell you I've been there. >> Left New York coming coming to South Carolina. I wanted the big time money in my pocket.

The life it was do. I knew it before I left. Came on and went back home.

>> Come on. And don't look at me funny. You've done it, too.

Don't look at it like I'm the bad guy. You've done the same thing. I needed this, but I I I got my nails done >> now.

Oh Lord, what am I going to do? The bill is due. I ain't got no money.

You say you going to supply my need. Look up. Look at your nails.

>> You may not have all you want, >> but you got more now than you ever had. >> Look where >> he brought us from. Amen.

>> If there's one this morning wants to come and give your life to Christ, >> and the hardest thing of anything is making up your mind to do. Once that mind is made up, doing it is not hard. And I'm not asking you to join board here.

All I'm asking you to do is give your life to Christ. But if you want to join this church, we'll be glad to have you on our road. Come on, you can do better than that.

>> Is there another think about it? May be later than you think. While the blood is running warm in your vein, >> that's the time >> to make the choice.

>> The next minute could be too late. >> You look good and you feel good, but that's not a good sign. >> Somebody went home this morning.

Look better than we look. feel better than we feel, >> but they are gone. >> I never will forget a lady told me that her husband was sitting on the couch watching TV.

>> She got up and went in the kitchen to get some refreshment. >> When she came back, he were gone just that quick. We do not know >> where death is, >> but David said, "It's only one step between me >> and death.

Welcome back home then. We thank God for what he have done. And he said we ought to rejoice >> when one comes.

>> And my brothers and sisters, let us make her feel welcome >> back home. >> You know when the prodigal son left, when he came home, the father had outstretched. >> He didn't question about what did he do.

The son wanted to tell him, "Dad, I did it." He said, "Shut up. >> Dad, I just shut up." >> And that's the way it ought to be. When one come, you forget about what they used to be.

>> That's right. >> All of us are has been >> Every one of us, >> got some stuff >> under the road. >> And some of us are still putting stuff under the road.

>> So don't look at nobody when they come. thinking that you know God knows everything. >> It's no secret what God can do.

>> Our father and our brothers again, we thank you for what you've allowed us to do. We thank you because you look beyond our thoughts. You saw our need and allowing us another chance.

We say thank you. >> We thank you for our choirs today. We thank you for musician.

We thank you for our ushers. We thank you for each and every one that have taken a part in this service today. >> Don't let it be in vain.

And then when we've done all that you sign our hearts and hands to do, not the high seat, but wherever you place us in your kingdom, we'll be all right. Now may the grace of God, the sweet command of his holy spirit, may it rest, rule, and abide with his people now and forever more. Would you repeat after me?
