And I thank you, Lord Jesus. Thank you. You didn't have to save us, but you did. Thank you, Jesus. You called us out of darkness into the marvelous light of holiness. Hallelujah. In your presence. Thank you, Lord. We came here today to worship you and to thank you. There's nobody like you, Lord. Hallelujah. Thank you, Lord, but we are your children. Thank you, Lord. Hallelujah. We were called out of darkness into the marvelous light of holiness. Hallelujah. We honor you today. We came here to worship you. We came here to thank you. Oh, save by your party, my Lord.

Hallelujah. Until then, oh, God, save our relatives. Save our children. Save, oh, God, those our neighbors. We're making contact with them in the name of Jesus.

Thank you, Jesus. Amen. I'm glad to be in the house of the Lord today. Hallelujah. I'm truly glad to be in the house of the Lord today. If you're glad, raise your hand. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. If you're not glad, don't raise your hand. I was glad to be in the house of the Lord today. Amen. We're going to read our scripture. We found in Psalms 124. If it had not been the Lord who was on our side, now may Israel say, if it had not been the Lord who was on our side when men rose up against us, then they had swallowed us up quickly. When their wrath was kindled against us, then the waters had overwhelmed us, the stream had gone over our souls. Then the proud waters had gone over our souls. Blessed be the Lord who has not given us as a prey to their teeth. Amen. I saw them escape as a bird out of the stairs of the fountains. The snare is broken and we are escaped. Our help is in the name of the Lord. Say that with me. Our help is in the name of the Lord who made heaven and earth. Our help is in the name of the Lord who made heaven and earth. Amen. Bless the Lord. All of our help is in him. I don't know if you had a chance to get a little bit of that rain this morning that we had. Amen. Our God provides everything that we need. No matter how much they talk about it, God provides all the moisture that we need. He provides the do in the morning and He provides do in the evening. How about that? So we bless the Lord this morning. Thank you Lord Jesus. Like the do it. Giving God all the glory and praise because He's worth constantly asking the Lord for it. We need to just stop and thank to find Him just because. Oh bless you Lord Jesus. Thank you. Because of who you are. I'm excited to see each your position on the day. God that I'm here. I'm here in the name of Jesus. And I'm going to come back and I'm going to introduce the speaker for today. Elder Ross just before you come. I want to recognize some people who are here today. Now Elder Ross has a mother that's sitting right over there. And his mother is 90 years old. Come on, come on. Give the Lord a hand for His mercy, for His grace, for His strength that He gives to His children. Amen. I've known her for probably about 78, 79 years. Nor all them years. I was probably about three when I found out who she was. And I, she was the second mother in our house. And she used to wash my face. Until I thought my face was coming off. Amen. I thank the Lord for her. I thank the Lord for her. She's been a great, great soldier for the Lord. She's all about Jesus. Amen. You don't believe it? You ask her when you got some time. Dr. Ross, we're glad to have you in our service on this Sunday morning. We thank the Lord that He's given you long life. Long life in good shape. Isn't she cute, y'all? He's cute. Amen. Glad to have you. We ask the Lord to bless you and continue to strengthen you in your journey on your way to the kingdom. I can't put nobody in heaven, but I believe she's going to be there. Amen. So she's on her way to heaven to see the King and glad about it. I want to recognize my grandson. Amen. My grandson's on his knees. He's not praying. He's praying. Amen. And his mother came along with him. Minister Arlene Dandridge, we're glad to have you back home for this service. Amen. Elder Ross, come on, and if you're a presentation, then I'm going to introduce the speaker. Praise the Lord, everybody. Are you glad you're here? Are you glad you're here? Now, I got word that Sister Shy was sick, and she wasn't going to be here. But she's in the house, so we're going to celebrate. Shabalash the Lord with me. Shabalash the Lord. Come on. Shabalash the Lord. Sometimes you search back in the family tree and you find a hidden person. The history, and we saw this person, right? That she'd be Dr. Renetta Alexander Staples. The reason I know that she's a part of the family is because this young lady is her baby sister. So I'm going to invite you to incline your ear. Incline your ear means to lean in. So you'll be sure you catch what the Lord is going to say here in this building today. Let us receive Dr. Renetta Alexander Staples as she comes in Jesus' name. Amen. Receive her with a heart of the amen. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Oh, come on. Just say it. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Come on. He's worthy. Hallelujah. Oh, Shekara Masa. Hallelujah. Shekara Masa. Hekara Masa. Hekara Masa. You are my peace saying you are asking for some more grace. Come on. Shekara Masa. To anybody that needs some more grace to trust Him. Hallelujah. I need to trust Him more. He's dropping some grace right now. Thank you. You all are amazing. Don't go nowhere. Don't go nowhere. I might have to say some more. Praise the Lord to each and every one of you. You may be seated in the presence of the Lord. Don't you feel His presence in here? Hallelujah. He's here. He's here. He's here. I want to thank the Lord just for being here. Thank God for another one of my fathers in the gospel. Thank God. What an honor to be even called an Alexander. I remember the day I said, Lord, if there's so much anointing in that family, if there's a crumb left over, y'all ain't hearing me. I was abandoned as a baby and adopted. So I didn't, I struggled all my life with abandonment issues and identity. Can you imagine? And I'm so honored to be connected to a bloodline. Hey, shut up. I'm preaching already. There's a bloodline. Hallelujah. I was born in one family. I was born one way, but oh God, we used to sing a song. Thank God. For the blood, my God in heaven. And I remember, hallelujah, as I grew to know this family, and I would always joke and say, you know what? You know, people would joke with me. They say, you hang around so much. Are you a member? But I thank God for connection to a godly family. And my little Leni, she's the bestest baby sister ever. Happy birthday. Yes, yes, yes. I told her yesterday, you ain't 23 and a half years old. No more. And we thank God. And for Mama Bobby, who it was years, but she gave me that mama hug. And we have been heart connected ever since. And I thank God for Dr. Ruth and over Ms. Lois. I'm just so grateful, grateful to know you. Grateful to get to love you. And I do love you. I do love you. And I'm honored. My God's son is in the house. He said, God, mommy, I'm coming. Come on, stand up and wave. This is, we call him JR. His name is Lawrence Allen. I'm so grateful. Thank you, baby. Thank you. The Lord is good. I give you greetings from Apostle Henry Alexander and Bishop Marty, who are happy to release me. And I promise I believe I have a word from the Lord. Amen. You would turn with me. And you don't have to stand. Just turn. I know we stand and we honor God. We stood a long time in worship and I believe God honors that. Thank God again for these amazing musicians. It's good to see y'all. Isaiah chapter one. And I'm marking the time. Thank you, Jesus. I'm going to read from verse 16 through 20 in your hearing. It says, Wash you. Make you clean. Put away the evil of your doings from before my eyes. Cease to do evil. Learn to do well. Seek judgment. Relieve the oppressed. Judge the fatherless and plead for the widow. Here's the best words I believe in the gospel. Come now. Come now, he says. And let us reason together, saith the Lord. Together. Though your sins be as scarlet, and for those of you who don't know what that means, it means blood red. Deep blood red. Though they be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow. Though they be red like crimson, hallelujah, they shall be as wool. If you be willing, say if. If you be willing. And say and. Obedient. You shall eat the good of the land. But here's what we leave out a lot is verse 20. But you refuse and rebel. You shall be devoured with the sword. And it's a guaranteed thing because he said the mouth of the Lord. Have spoken it so far, the scriptures. Topic of my message from the Lord says, let's talk about it. Let's talk about it. Father, we thank you for this time around your word. Your word is spirit and it is life and it is your word that you send and heal us. And that's that's what we're asking for today. Lord, send a word and heal. Send a word and build. Send a word and strengthen and edify. Let your strength reach to each and every heart. Pass through, pass by this vessel and give us ears to hear. Minds to comprehend, hearts to embrace and a will God to do. What your spirit is saying unto us today. We say thank God. In Jesus' name, amen. I want to start with a little quiz. Is there anybody else in here that's got a few challenges? Anybody else? I'm saying else because I'm including myself. Anybody else in here going through a few difficulties? Is there anybody here that's dealing today with some deep disappointments? Anybody? Anybody else in here got a few issues and maybe a couple of addictions? And anybody else? Anybody else because I'm confessing to you. I came to confess I'm dealing with some stuff on today. Anybody got some attitudes? I was born to raise and come. I think I came here with an attitude. I can roll my eyes real quick except my mama kind of slapped that out of me while I was a child. So I've learned to control. Hallelujah. Even though she's in the grave, I believe she will raise up. I roll my eyes today. She will raise up in all way. I know that ain't in the Bible, but trust me, Chris could do it. Mama Chris, Mama Chris could do it. Dealing with some stuff. Did you look around the room? Raise your hand again if any of those things match you. Look around the room. You're not alone. You are not alone. Everybody has got something. Everybody is struggling with something. Everybody's wrestling with a condition or an issue or an unmet need. Everybody. You're not the only one. I want to start off with that because I believe that's what the enemy always tries to make you feel like you're the only one. Everybody else got it all together. Everybody else knows what's going on. Everybody else has there what they need and nobody else is dealing with depression. Just you. Just you. You're the one. You're a mess. You would never be anything more than a mess. And they told you that when you were a child and y'all ain't hearing me, but that's okay. I'm talking to myself. They said you'd never be nothing. They said you'd never go anywhere. Oh, they were right. They were right. The enemy is always trying to make you feel like your life is never going to be together. And the truth is, it's always going to be something. I don't care how cute we look. I don't care how much money we have. Look, people that's got a whole lot of money taking their own lives. I don't care how good people look at you or how bad people look at you. Oh, there's always going to be some kind of concern, some kind of issue. Why? Because we live in a sin induced world. And what you're looking for in terms of a life where, you know, I just want, I just want to get it all together. I just finally want it to be peaceful. I just want to try to make it that life. It doesn't exist here. Oh, but there's a place. Hey. What you're looking for is not here. What you wish you could embrace in life does not happen here. You might have a moment of peace and a moment of joy and a moment. Come on, y'all. If I preach anything today, right, you just stop me. But just around the corner, you're either getting ready to go in. You're going through, or you're just about to come out of something. And the question I have to ask you today is how do you plan to handle it? What's your plan? Like a good father that asks a man that comes and say, I want to marry your daughter. He's like, okay, first we have to have a little discussion. What is your plan? How do you plan to get through? Because even if you're in a happy place today, there's something coming. I'm not a doomsday person. I believe in the truth. The Bible says you will know the truth. And the truth will what? It will make you free. It will reconfigure who you are. Anything that I set free, I can chase down and bring back into captivity. But when I've been made free, it doesn't matter what shackles you can put on this physical body. Honey, when I'm free, I'm free indeed. Hallelujah. And what God came, he came that he could set and make us free. Well, free from what? Dr. Alexander. Free from what? Free from the burden of life's ups and downs. Free from hallelujah the turbulence that this sinful world will continue to bring just like the waves that crash on the sea. Hallelujah, they never stopped a bishop. I've been to the ocean. I waited for the waters to quiet down. But every few minutes, here comes another wave. And I don't know about you, but every now and then I reflect back on a time. My father was a swimmer in the ocean. And I remember a time when I thought I could do like he did. My father could get in that water. He was born and raised on an island and he could swim. You know where the buoy is, way out there that the seals be playing around on. My dad could swim all the way down there and touch that thing and come on back. And I remember thinking to myself, surely I can do it too. Uh-huh, what was that? Uh-oh. And so what had happened was, I tread down in the water. And if you know anything about the ocean, there's this place there called the break. It's the place where the waves, when they finally reach a certain point, they stop and tumble. And unfortunately, I had enough courage to get in, but I didn't have enough courage to go far enough, see. And so what happened is, I got caught in the break. If you've ever been there, it is a very traumatic experience. I got far enough to get hit by the first wave. And unfortunately that thing was so strong. See, it looked like a little wave. It was just a little bit. I didn't think it was going to do any harm. But that thing hit me all the way up on my chest and literally knocked me off my feet. And I began to tumble with the water. And I could not tell up from down. I remember scrambling with no sense of where Earth was. And just when it seemed like my foot kind of touched the ground, I said, okay, I think I can stand up. Here came another wave. And before I knew it, I was tumbling all over again. And this went on for moments, moments. I could not even cry out. And such peril I couldn't breathe. I was above the water and underneath the water. And it was only when a hand reached down and literally grabbed me from where I was and scripted me out, put me out. Hallelujah. We used to sing a song, say, love. Lifted me. Come on somebody. Oh, when nothing else could help. He talked about my shanda. Let me tell you something about what you're going through right now. When I was in that water, I couldn't think about being righteous. I couldn't think about being holy. I couldn't think about being dressed right or talking right. I couldn't think about being acting right and thinking right. I couldn't think. I couldn't even get a word out. It had nothing to do with what I could bring to the situation. All I had was trouble. All I had was heartache. All I had was insanity. It was love. My father saw me. He had just swam in from that buoy. I'm sure physically he was tired too. He wasn't a young man. But when he saw his daughter in trouble, no way to help herself. Caught in the midst of the angry sea. And he made his way. Hallelujah. Hallelujah came to tell you God. Seize right where you are right now. God already has an eye on the waves that are crashing through your life. God already knows that you got nothing to bring to the equation. He knows. Hallelujah. That you don't even understand. Hallelujah. What's really going on? And you have no ability to save yourself. So with that in mind, my friends. He comes. The sound says from the waters. Lifted me. That's why I tell people I owe him a praise. I'm up here. I'm supposed to be all, you know, it's pastorly and speakerly and stuff, but I'm jumping up out my chair because you don't know my story. Hallelujah are the things that I've been through. You can't, you don't know my pain and what I had to go through to get here. Hallelujah. You'll never understand my praise. Don't try to figure it out because when I was seeking deep in sin, far from the peace for sure, very deeply stained with it. Seeking the rise no more. It was the master. He hurt me. I couldn't even cry. He heard my despair and cry. I was so trapped. I couldn't cry. You ever been that hurt? Oh, y'all don't know what I'm talking about. But I've been hurt to the point. Well, I didn't have words. I've cried to the point. I have no more tears. I didn't know you could cry that much where your water ducts, your little tear ducts say, listen, we're done here. He heard a cry that I could not make. It was a silent, desperate, despairing cry. My mama couldn't hear it. My daddy couldn't hear it. My good friends couldn't hear it. My neighbors couldn't hear it. Hey, son of my child. But all down in my soul, I was crying out, help Lord help. Somebody needs to cry out tonight. Help Lord help. Oh God. He reached in. And that's what we mean, y'all, when we say, he saved me. He saved me. He did for me what I could not do for myself. He saved me. And so when you know you've been saved, can I just tell you, I think twice about, I ain't been back in the ocean. Look at here. Come on now. He saved me. He saved me. Now, he brought me out. And sweetheart, when you've been brought out, you think a lot now. You take up a little thought before you go back in. You think now. And so some things I don't do anymore. Because I've been what? I've been saved. Some things I don't look at the same anymore. Why? Because I've been saved. I've been delivered out of my own trouble. Stuff I got myself into. Hallelujah decisions I made. But oh, he's a deliverer. Oh, he's a savior. Oh, he's a waitmaker. Oh, yes, he is. I know him as a healer. If you've never been sick, you can't know him as a healer. Hallelujah. If you've never been out of the way, you don't know him as a waitmaker. If you've never had trouble, you don't know him as a deliverer. But oh, yes, I do. Yes, I do. Lift your hands. If you know him, lift your hands. Yes, I do. And that's why I have to praise him. I have to praise him. Sometimes I get a quick name. And when I think of the goodness, head to most shunned when I reflect on what I was in the midst of and how his shadow went down. Or when I think of how he came to where I was. Because I couldn't make my way to him. He loved me enough. Everybody's got something. Everybody. And what the enemy wants you to believe. What he's trying to do is use what you're going through to distract you. He's trying to use what you're going through to discourage you. He's trying to use what you're going through. Hallelujah to disqualify you. But here's what the Lord reminded me while I was sitting right over there. He said, devil wasn't the one that attracted you. Devil would never the one that encouraged you. He wasn't the one that qualified you. That was me. That was me. The Lord said that was me. And unfortunately because we use other methods to manage our pain. Many of us have done like the children of Israel had none here as the prophet Isaiah was speaking to them. He said what you've chosen to do is go do dumb stuff. Dirty stuff. Ungodly stuff. For whatever reason, maybe you feel like the good stuff you did before didn't matter. Maybe you felt like God wasn't even watching. But it's a lie. I came to tell you today. It's a lie. And what God said is today I want us to talk about it. Don't stay out there. What sense would it have made if my father reached down for me? I shook his hand off and said I can take care of myself. What good would it have done for me to say I'm grown. It's my life. Look at y'all shaking your hands at me. What? Because many of us, that's how we live it. We in trouble, we know it. God have already given us the way out. But we won't take it. Not for real. We're still dabbling and doing. We still have doing it in one day after the other. Still dabbling our toes. He said I need you to make a decision. Wash you. You know the dirty stuff. It's not interesting how everybody knows all the stuff ain't right. The people in the church who ain't living right will come and tell you stuff ain't right. Yeah, they will. They ain't living none of it, but they're going to come and tell you now. That ain't God. So nobody has to tell us. Who in here had lying lessons? Anybody had to get lessons to learn how to lie, cheat or steal? Be underhanded. Have an attitude, back talk, back bite, anybody? Lessons? Why? Because we came here without that. And all God is asking us to do today is let's talk about it. Let's discuss these evil ways. He said put your evil away. He ain't even scared. He said that evil stuff you know. And I see all that. And you know all of it. Let me the hand of the Lord is here today, my God in heaven. He's reaching into the waves of your life. And he's saying let me. He says learn to do well. I'm an educator, so let me help you understand that God doesn't, this phrase right here lets me know, he doesn't expect you to know how to do well. What he wants you to do is be what willing to learn. Learning is a process. Learning it requires practice. And learning takes patience. And many of us we want to go from zero to 60. You just got here and you want to be the pastor. You just got here and you want to walk on water. You just started this race and you want to be done already. It's going to take a little something. In verse what is it? He says, seek me. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Seek judgment. When he says judgment, who is the awesome? Who is the judge? He is. The problem you have is you're judging yourself. You've made a judgment about what's going on in your life. You've made a judgment about who you are and what you really are capable of in your life. But you're not your maker. You know who knows you? The one who created you. Oh, he knows everything he put in you. He knows the purpose and the calling that he has for you. He knows the plans. He said plans of good and not evil. But instead we're judging. Opinion on it. And if it's not enough that we judge ourselves, we judge each other. But he said, come out of there. Seek judgment. And there's something interesting we don't hear a lot about but I thought it was interesting that he said relieve he says, relieve the oppressed. Just be kind. You said it earlier, somebody wished they had a life. You know what's wrong with many of us? We're not grateful for what we already have. We have so much. Somebody wished they could have your problem. They would take your situation in a heartbeat. The answer he says is come. God says I have a remedy. If you would come and have a little talk. We used to sing a song and say have a little talk with Jesus. We're all about your troubles. And he will make it right. Hallelujah. He'll answer by and by. Y'all know that y'all still sing that sometimes. Amen. I grew up on that song. And there's something about being willing to talk to God. It's not about having somebody lay a hand on you. It's about you being willing to talk to God. And you know what's interesting, the same way is the same way he hears my silent prayer. And sometimes the words can't come out y'all. But I guarantee if you lay yourself before the Lord and you would cry out unto him. He is ready. He has a remedy for you. God knows that he can fix it. He created you because he's your maker. He knows what the problem is. You can go to a whole bunch of counselors, spend a lot of money, and pay them to tell you what God would tell you for free. Not only does he say come, he says I'll fix it. Did you hear him say though y'all? He tries to say now, no matter what the condition is, though your sins be as scarlet. I mean it's all messed up. It couldn't get any worse. Anybody ever been in a situation like that? You said this could not get any worse. It's over, it's done, it's finished. I'm through, I'm out, deuces, whatever. But he says though it be like that, I can make it. I can make it right. Oh if you just come to me. Hey I'll fix it. I'll turn it around. I'll take it from all messed up to all blessed up. Come on somebody. I just need to have a little talk. I need you to come. Some of us been waiting for him to come to us. The truth is he already did that. What? Oh how He gave his life. Look around. Can you say did that? Oh how He loves you and me. Come on, put your hand on yourself. He loves you. Oh how said to you, he's never said how much he love you. He's never said how much he care about you. He loves you. There's a scripture in Psalm 27. It's my favorite. Psalm 27 verse 13. Don't go far guys. We gonna worship the Lord out of here. He's done. He says in verse 13 you got it Psalms 27 hmm verse 13 I remember the day I found this scripture. I'm gonna tell you I was I was all messed up. And I was to a point where and I know you might not think a pastor or somebody has been saved for a long time but you could feel like giving up. You could try to add up and do the figure it in your own life and carry the one and say surely if God really loved me I wouldn't have to go through what I'm going through right now. It's something unfair that's going on here. I've served you Lord. I remember the day I lifted you up and I said but I paid my time. I told you he has a response. I found mine here. I thought this might help you. Verse 13. What's it say? It says I had fainted unless I had believed to see what the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. Come on read it again. I had believed to see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. One more time I had fainted unless I had believed to see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. I almost fell out. I almost threw my head up. But oh when I saw this verse right here I said, I believe in God to do it in here. Lord blow through here. Blow through here. A wind of encouragement. A will of strength. I said I said two words in that moment that helped me get up off the floor. Tears in my eyes. I said I believe if you say some goodness coming out. I I believe. Two words. I believe. Hallelujah. I believe to see it. I believe to see it. And look at here. If you read the rest of the verse he said in the land hearing me you don't get it. This world is all messed up. See the goodness of the Lord. Right down here in this messed up place. Right down here in this crazy place. Right down here in this destructive place. If I could just believe. So the Lord said come now. Come on now. If you let me I'll help you see it better. If you let me I'll help you see it better. Y'all don't know but I have a beautiful car that I drive. It's got a little latches on it that makes me happy. My sister gave it to me and my license plate says believe to see. Because how about it's better. And it didn't happen because I got more money. It didn't happen because I made more friends. It didn't happen because I could have a better resume and got another degree. It happened. So I said I can see clean. Somebody needs to get on their knees here on mind. You can come to the altar fall. You can get on your knees right now. Fall. You said here on here on on my knee I can see here on here on see that's what needs to happen right here. See he said you got to clean your hands with I got with courage you right now. You don't have to get on your knees in here but I dare you to close your eyes. Let's check. I dare you to just have a little talk with Jesus. He's right here. He's here. He's here. He's here. He's here. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. With a hold and I think can I go down and pray with with with with hold on pastor Ross come here I want to pray for you with hold you want to do that's beautiful don't move sometimes what we want to do is we want to fix it we want to fix it we said sing a song say Jesus will fix it for you he said if you be willing and obedient you can't do his will your way you can't live holy without his Holy Spirit you can't tell God how you want to come this ain't that kind of party this ain't that kind of party the devil will let you come any way you want to but once he got you he will make you bow down he will make you bow down he will make you bow down he will put you in custody and he will shackle you with every chain he's got Jesus said come on to me it's an open door policy now if you choose not

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, raba-sha-na-da-ma-sanda-da-da-da-da-da-da-da. Plain to walk in the blind. I don't know that. Cause I got her open prison doors and set the cat. Seven, she said, I had fainted. I came to see the goodness of the Lord in the land, and she wouldn't go to the next verse. The next verse said, wait on the Lord, and he shall I say on the Lord. If you can embrace that, you got it. You understand who aren't capable of it? There was one who solved every problem, give you everything that you needed. There's one who could do that, and it wasn't your cousin or your brother. It was the king of kings and the Lord of lords, and he's able. Thank God, come on, let's give God praise for the service on today. Come on, give him glory. Thank you, Jesus. What a wonderful, wonderful service on today. Now let's prepare to receive our tithes and offering. Anybody else? I heard one, eight, two, man. Amen. We're in the spirit all the time now. Looked like the spirits flew out the window. Check and see the doors are open. All right, now, we're a tithe paying church. Amen. We give God what belongs to him, and then we give an offering to let him know how we appreciate him. The scripture said that if you would do that, God will open the windows of heaven, a blessing that you're not able to receive. I like that. I like that not able to receive blessing. I'll take it, run me over with it. So I praise God that I'm a witness that that works. This is the microphone working. I said I'm a witness that that works. Anybody else know that? No, I'm not having attention over here. I'm not having attention over here. These people, of all folks, ought to be a witness to that testimony that's given. Now, I'll say it again. I'm a witness that paying tithes and giving God an offering works. Oh, well, they finally woke up. Amen, amen, amen. See, those two right there are my sisters. Both of them learn to pay tithes and give God an offering as children. We pay tithes and give an offering through the years. Amen, she can't wait. Amen. Now, that's what I'm talking about right there. Come on, praise God, praise God. Amen. She gonna receive a blessing from heaven. All right, so now, with that being said, let us stand as we to give our offering to the Lord. Our offering to the Lord. And if people don't know offering in tithes, that's the foundation of the church. I heard someone say, money equals ministry. If you don't have no money, you can't do no ministry. And so, in this church at this particular time, I can't say for all times, in this church at this particular time, the tithes and the offering go to full support of the church. Pastor, don't get paid. I've been, how long I've been here? 27, 28 years? 29, been here 29 years and haven't gotten a paycheck yet. So everything you give, you're giving it to the Lord and the Lord's gonna get all of it. All right, so I just wanna encourage you to do right by the church. The Lord will bless you. The Lord will bless you. That's a promise. All right, let's hold your offering to the Lord as we offer it. Eternal God our Father, we thank you. Thank you for your presence. We thank you for your loving kindness. We thank you for all that you are to us. We thank you, oh God, that you promised that you'd be a provision of every sort that we need. And we thank you because we believe in, we trust you and we give our offerings as it comes from our heart with a cheerful spirit. Receive our offerings as we pray in Jesus' name, amen. All right, come on with your offering. If one you give, give it on to the Lord. Give it on to the Lord and the Lord will provide for you. If one you give, oh give it on to the Lord, to the Lord. God bless you. Let us stand, just a minute, we didn't bless it often, Deacon. What we'll do is we'll bless it and it'll be blessed. All right, Deacon, ask the Lord to bless the offering. We have to bless this offering on this church, don't worry. We'll give it, we'll give it, we'll give it next time. We'll bless this offering, bless every one of this church, don't worry, and Deacon. Just, amen. All right, Mr. Bill, we're in your hands. All right, he praised the Lord, hallelujah. God has been praised. You may stand at this time. Hallelujah. We have been ministered too. Hallelujah, thank you, Lord Jesus. My term, the termination is greater. I thank you God. Hallelujah.
