- 24:24I'm feeling so good about family months
- 24:28and I have enjoyed these last few
- 24:30Services preaching about family we're
- 24:32going to take a break from that tonight
- 24:35but Brethren let me just say this
- 24:38it is so important for your wife to be
- 24:41in church Wednesday night
- 24:43I mean just
- 24:45she got to be here she don't make it any
- 24:48other Wednesday night she got to be here
- 24:51all you single ladies we gotta have you
- 24:53in the house of God Wednesday night
- 24:56this past Wednesday we put the brothers
- 24:58in the hot seat and talked about
- 25:01a man's role in the home and
- 25:05and I tell you got a little tense in
- 25:07here Wednesday night
- 25:09a little tense in here this morning too
- 25:11but that's good
- 25:14when you feel tension during preaching
- 25:16that's when the word of God's really
- 25:18starting to
- 25:20kind of push them some stuff that needs
- 25:22to be pushed on well I'm sure we have
- 25:24none of that Wednesday night but we're
- 25:27going to be teaching about a woman's
- 25:30role in the home
- 25:32and I'm not going to give it all away
- 25:33but other than to say that the word of
- 25:36God's awesome
- 25:37and it brings a blessing every time it's
- 25:39tried and applied and we're going to try
- 25:41it and apply it
- 25:42and uh
- 25:44and we're not going to have any tension
- 25:46Wednesday night because these sisters

- 26:00you've been married for the length of
- 26:01time you learn to say that just

- 27:09concessions but the big time is we're
- 27:11just gonna we're gonna have some good
- 27:13times
- 27:14now when I grew up in a church I grew up
- 27:16in a small Church in West Virginia
- 27:19to my recollection
- 27:22from the time I was
- 27:24born
- 27:26until I was about 16 years old to my
- 27:29recollection I can recall one
- 27:33instance one
- 27:36where the church rented a little gym and
- 27:38had a basketball night
- 27:40one time in 16 years almost on Friday
- 27:42night
- 27:44and man I thought that was just the
- 27:46greatest thing
- 27:47and I wonder why we didn't do it all the
- 27:49time and I don't know why we didn't all
- 27:51the time but that's just what it was so
- 27:53a couple points that would make there
- 27:55you don't have to have fun stuff to live
- 27:56for God
- 27:58and because I live for god without
- 28:00having play in and all that stuff but
- 28:03when we have these moments let's not
- 28:06take them for granted
- 28:07let's let's get behind it let's have a
- 28:09good time let's let's squeeze every
- 28:11minute of enjoyment that we can
- 28:14out of our time together
- 28:16I'm going to read from Genesis chapter
- 28:1845
- 28:21this is a word that I've never preached
- 28:22before I've never preached from this
- 28:24passage it dropped in my spirit a few
- 28:26weeks ago and I've made note of it
- 28:28just feel like tonight's right for this
- 28:33verse 17 and Pharaoh said unto Joseph
- 28:36say unto thy brethren
- 28:38this do ye
- 28:40laid your beast and go get you into the
- 28:43land of Canaan take your father and your
- 28:46households and come unto me and I will
- 28:47give you the good of the land of Egypt
- 28:49and you shall eat the fat of the Lamb
- 28:52now there are commanded this do ye take
- 28:55you wagons out of the land of Egypt for
- 28:57your little ones for your wives and
- 28:59bring your father and come
- 29:02also regard not your stuff
- 29:05for the good of all the land of Egypt is
- 29:10yours
- 29:11hold that for a minute
- 29:14I just saw something there
- 29:17I'm gonna make a note of this and when
- 29:19you forget about this remark I'm gonna
- 29:20come back preach it
- 29:22some people don't want to live for God
- 29:25because of their stuff
- 29:28so I got to give up this and give up
- 29:31that and give up that
- 29:33but if you knew the good that was
- 29:36waiting for you in the land God's
- 29:37bringing you to
- 29:39so far outweighs your stuff you let go
- 29:42of your stuff
- 29:44I don't know who that's for but somebody
- 29:46just needs a regard not your stuff
- 29:48because the good of the land is yours
- 29:51I love that
- 29:55I wish I brought highlighters to the
- 29:56pulpit I'd highlight that in my Bible
- 29:58somebody highlighted for me and come to
- 30:00me after church remind me about it
- 30:03verse 21 in the children of Israel did
- 30:05so and Joseph gave them the wagons
- 30:07according to the Commandment of pharaoh
- 30:09and gave them provision for the way
- 30:11to all of them he gave each man changes
- 30:14arraignment but to Benjamin he gave 300
- 30:18pieces of silver and five changes of
- 30:21raiment and to his father he sent after
- 30:24this manner ten asses Laden with the
- 30:26good things of Egypt intense she asked
- 30:28his Laden with corn and bread and meat
- 30:30for his father by the way
- 30:32so he sent his Brethren away and they
- 30:34departed and he said unto them and
- 30:36here's what I'm preaching tonight
- 30:38see
- 30:41that ye fall not out
- 30:44by the way
- 30:47brethren there are some people that need
- 30:50saved
- 30:51go get them bring them back
- 30:54but while you're going out to save them
- 30:57people
- 30:58see that you fall out not out by the way
- 31:03one translation
- 31:06said it this way don't quarrel on the
- 31:08way
- 31:10and so for a few minutes I'm going to
- 31:12preach see that you fall not
- 31:15out by the way can you receive the word
- 31:17of God with an amen God bless you you
- 31:20can be seated
- 31:23the Book of Genesis is the first book of
- 31:26the Bible it is a very
- 31:28important book
- 31:31Genesis means beginnings and it is the
- 31:35book that describes the beginnings of
- 31:37the world in the first three chapters we
- 31:40read the story of creation
- 31:42we read about how Adam and Eve fell in
- 31:45the Sin got messed up
- 31:47chapters 9 and 10 we read about Noah and
- 31:51the Ark
- 31:52and
- 31:53um the flood and all the stuff that went
- 31:56along with that then we read about the
- 31:58development of the human civilization
- 32:00we read about Abraham and how that God
- 32:03made Covenant with Abraham and he became
- 32:06the father of all who would be called
- 32:07faithful from there on after
- 32:10we read of Isaac Jacob and the great
- 32:14Patriarchs
- 32:15now Genesis is important
- 32:18there's a lot of fundamental passages
- 32:21that if we took them out of Genesis
- 32:24we would we would not understand an
- 32:27entirety the rest of the Bible
- 32:30for example if you took the story of
- 32:32creation away in the fall
- 32:34none of the story of redemption would
- 32:37make sense because we wouldn't know what
- 32:39we were redeemed from
- 32:41if we took Abraham out of the Bible
- 32:44many of the New Testament theological
- 32:47passages would crumble like a house made
- 32:50out of cheap cards because it is the
- 32:53story of Abraham that gives meaning to
- 32:56some of the rich theology in the New
- 32:58Testament
- 33:00but one thing that I find interesting in
- 33:04the study of the Book of Genesis
- 33:07is the amount of time that was
- 33:09apportioned
- 33:11to covering the various
- 33:13uh epics if you will covered in this
- 33:17book
- 33:18three chapters are given to the creation
- 33:20in the fall
- 33:22just a couple of three chapters are
- 33:24given to Noah
- 33:26but when you get to Abraham there is 10
- 33:29chapters devoted to covering his life
- 33:32story
- 33:34but what is more remarkable to me
- 33:36personally
- 33:38is that when we get to the story of
- 33:40Joseph
- 33:42starts I believe in chapter 36 the rest
- 33:46of the Book of Genesis
- 33:48is devoted to the life of Joseph Psalm
- 33:5114 chapters
- 33:54very few other people in the Bible
- 33:59receive as much detail
- 34:02and as much account of their life as did
- 34:06Joseph
- 34:07now there's probably lots of reasons for
- 34:09that but one of the reasons that Joseph
- 34:12receives a lot of tension is that Joseph
- 34:15is an Old Testament type of Jesus Christ
- 34:20Jesus told his story
- 34:24throughout the Old Testament he said in
- 34:27one place that we ought to search the
- 34:29scripture because they testify of him
- 34:33and so the Old Testament in watercolor
- 34:37pictures
- 34:38began to sketch out for us the coming of
- 34:42a savior
- 34:43his death his burial his resurrection
- 34:46and his Triumph as king of glory
- 34:50and to really get the full picture of
- 34:53Jesus
- 34:54you got to go beyond the gospels Matthew
- 34:57Mark Luke and John and
- 34:59you've got to see him in the types in
- 35:03the shadows in the Bible
- 35:05now
- 35:07there are definitely 60 direct
- 35:10comparisons
- 35:12between Joseph and Jesus
- 35:15and I'm not going to
- 35:18talk to you about 60 of them but let me
- 35:20just mention a couple of them
- 35:23Joseph was a shepherd
- 35:26he just was the great Shepherd
- 35:28Joseph was favored by his father
- 35:31Jesus was beloved by the father
- 35:35Jesus Joseph was hated by his Brethren
- 35:38and so was Jesus
- 35:41Joseph was stripped of his coat of many
- 35:44colors
- 35:45and when Jesus went to the Cross he was
- 35:48stripped of his coat Joseph was cast
- 35:52into a pit Jesus was put into a tomb
- 35:55Joseph was pulled out of the pit alive
- 35:59Jesus came out of the Tomb alive
- 36:02resurrected from the dead
- 36:05Joseph was sold for pieces of silver the
- 36:09price of a slave and when Judas betrayed
- 36:12Jesus he betrayed him with 30 pieces of
- 36:15silver the price of a Slave
- 36:19Judah was the one Joseph's brother Judas
- 36:22suggested selling his brother
- 36:25and the Greek name for Judah is Jesus
- 36:29Judas
- 36:30Joseph when he was put into the pit his
- 36:33brothers took
- 36:35a coach and they dipped it in the blood
- 36:38of a goat and they brought that Bloody
- 36:41coat and gave it to his father will the
- 36:46Bible teaches that Jesus was our
- 36:48scapegoat and his blood was presented to
- 36:52the father for a sin offering and that's
- 36:55just nine of the comparisons of Joseph
- 36:59and Jesus and I could go on and I've got
- 37:03a list of at least 60 comparisons
- 37:06between Joseph and Jesus and so the
- 37:09reason we study the story of Joseph is
- 37:12he has something to teach us about Jesus
- 37:15and about New Testament realities but I
- 37:20believe that the story of Joseph is also
- 37:22rich with metaphors that speak to us in
- 37:27the church those of us that are here to
- 37:30do the work of God and labor together to
- 37:34reach a world that's lost and dying and
- 37:36sin we can look at the story of Joseph
- 37:39and there's something there to teach us
- 37:42about how things ought to be in the
- 37:46church today
- 37:48and so let's take a little closer look
- 37:50at our passage tonight
- 37:53Joseph is in Egypt
- 37:55he is now second in command of the land
- 37:58and it was a famine all over that region
- 38:02but because Joseph was able to interpret
- 38:05Pharaoh's dreams
- 38:07they were forewarned of the famine that
- 38:09was coming and they they spent years
- 38:12racking up crops and building big Barns
- 38:16and so when the famine came there was
- 38:19plenty of provision for all of those
- 38:23that were hungry because the godly man
- 38:27had stored up when the times were good
- 38:31and so finally
- 38:33Joseph's brothers find themselves in
- 38:38Egypt they present themselves to their
- 38:41brother and when Joseph hears about his
- 38:45father's household
- 38:47in a place where there is famine they
- 38:51are hungry there's not enough to eat and
- 38:54their lives are in jeopardy
- 38:57Joseph sends his brothers on a mission
- 39:01and he lets them know I want you to go
- 39:03back
- 39:04to your household
- 39:07find all of those that are hungry
- 39:10bring wagons and let them know that if
- 39:15they can just get down here with me in
- 39:18Egypt I'm going to take care of them and
- 39:21I'm going to satisfy their hunger so he
- 39:25took bread he took grain he took money
- 39:30from the storehouse
- 39:31and he loaded down the people
- 39:35that were going out to save those that
- 39:38were hungry and bring them back and he
- 39:41said take this provision with you and
- 39:45this provision is going to be assigned
- 39:48to the hungry that there is more where
- 39:51that come from I see a parallel there
- 39:55because you and I when we were saved we
- 39:58were not saved to sit on a Pew we were
- 40:02saved to reach the world with the Gospel
- 40:05of Jesus Christ
- 40:06[Applause]
- 40:09and God has loaded us down in this
- 40:13church with spiritual bread and
- 40:15spiritual sustenance we have something
- 40:19to give to the world don't you ever feel
- 40:22bashful about witnessing the people
- 40:25because you have the Holy Ghost you have
- 40:29revelation of truth and you have
- 40:32something that is worth sharing so you
- 40:36understand that you are on a mission
- 40:38sent by God Almighty into the City of
- 40:43Memphis and surrounding towns to do the
- 40:47work of God to find Souls that need to
- 40:50be saved that is our mission today
- 40:54[Applause]
- 40:58the Reason God blesses us and this even
- 41:01ties into natural blessings if God
- 41:05blesses you to make good money
- 41:07it's so that you can go out and do even
- 41:09more in your witnessing
- 41:11we've got to understand that God equips
- 41:14us for the mission and we are equipped
- 41:18this is not something we got to pray
- 41:20that he equips us later because we're
- 41:22already equipped we're already filled
- 41:25with the Holy Ghost we already have the
- 41:27word of God every ingredient this church
- 41:30has to double or triple in the next 18
- 41:34months is already in the building right
- 41:38now
- 41:40We Don't Need Another Blessing we
- 41:42already got enough blessing that we
- 41:44could go out there and do something with
- 41:47it
- 41:47[Applause]
- 41:50so Joseph sends his brethren
- 41:54go back to Canaan find those that are
- 41:57hungry lost and struggling and bring
- 42:01them down here to the place where there
- 42:03is bread that is the mission of our
- 42:06church
- 42:07that is your mission that's my mission
- 42:10but there's one aspect of
- 42:14this story that stands out to me
- 42:18I don't know what it means but I'm going
- 42:20to preach about it
- 42:23it's a bad thing when preachers don't
- 42:25know what something means but they
- 42:26preach about it anyway
- 42:28I've heard a few preachers do that
- 42:31but let me tell you about a part of this
- 42:33story that catches my attention
- 42:36is that wild all of the brethren
- 42:40of Joseph were equipped
- 42:43to go reach the loss
- 42:45one brother
- 42:48Benjamin
- 42:49got an extra portion
- 42:53the rest of them just got some silver
- 42:56Benjamin got 300 pieces
- 43:01jimin was given five times what
- 43:06everybody else was given
- 43:08five changes of raiment
- 43:12and so this lets me know a harsh reality
- 43:17of Kingdom work
- 43:19God blesses everybody to do his work
- 43:23but not everybody gets blessed on the
- 43:25same level
- 43:27there are some Benjamins that have a
- 43:30special favor of the father
- 43:33and when Benjamin gets blessed he gets
- 43:36five times what other people are doing
- 43:39and he's able to do five times what
- 43:43others are doing now once again I don't
- 43:46know what all that means but I see a
- 43:49story of the mission of the church in
- 43:52this passage and I believe there are
- 43:55some churches that God raised us up and
- 43:59there are individuals that God raises up
- 44:02that have a Benjamin anointing and they
- 44:06are blessed above and beyond and way
- 44:09over measure now brother I don't know
- 44:12what it takes to be a Benjamin church
- 44:14but I want to be a Benjamin Church I
- 44:17want that Benjamin anointing I want
- 44:20Benjamin men and women in this church
- 44:22that have the favor of the father and we
- 44:25are blessed five times what everybody
- 44:29else is being blessed
- 44:34hey man if you feel that way why don't
- 44:36you just reach your hand up right now
- 44:39Hallelujah
- 44:42Hallelujah
- 44:45whatever it takes
- 44:48to have that kind of favor
- 44:51there's no price too much
- 44:54to walk into that Benjamin dimension
- 44:58so here they're going
- 45:00they have been equipped
- 45:02they have been sent
- 45:04they have a mission
- 45:07time
- 45:08is of the essence
- 45:11but then we come to the one statement
- 45:14that we read at the last
- 45:17Joseph's parting words to these brothers
- 45:22as they were going on their mission to
- 45:24save the hungry
- 45:27he said see
- 45:29that your fall not out by the way
- 45:37what a thing to say
- 45:39to someone
- 45:41you would think them knowing
- 45:44the importance
- 45:47of getting to the family that we're
- 45:49starving
- 45:51they knew the time
- 45:54was limited to get the work done
- 45:57they were already equipped
- 46:00but now Joseph has got to tell them
- 46:04while you're going out
- 46:06see that you fall not out by the way
- 46:11in other words don't get to quarreling
- 46:14amongst yourself
- 46:16and lose sight of what God has sent you
- 46:19to do
- 46:22now I'm going to break just a couple of
- 46:24minutes I'm not going to be wrong
- 46:26most of my preaching is done
- 46:29[Music]
- 46:30our church has been seeing incredible
- 46:33things happen
- 46:36and I don't know of any problems
- 46:40that are going on in this nature right
- 46:42now
- 46:44but I feel compelled to get in this
- 46:46pulpit
- 46:47and give us some preventative medicine
- 46:52because it is human nature
- 46:55that when we are stepping up
- 46:58to the most critical moments that we
- 47:01allow things to Sidetrack us
- 47:04and we get caught up in a bunch of petty
- 47:07little issues
- 47:10they're in the big picture do not amount
- 47:12to a hill of beings
- 47:15I'm here to tell you Christian Life
- 47:17Church God has put us in this city and
- 47:20in this region for a purpose and it is
- 47:23critical that we do not fall out by the
- 47:27way
- 47:28[Applause]
- 47:31thank you
- 47:33so when people get to fussing in a
- 47:36church and quarreling what do they
- 47:38quarrel over
- 47:39well the first thing we quarrel over is
- 47:41limited resources
- 47:45I need that room for my Ministry no I
- 47:47need it for my Ministry
- 47:49I need that person for my Ministry no I
- 47:52need that person for my Ministry
- 47:54and we
- 47:56we envision
- 47:58the resources being so limited
- 48:02that we got a quarrel over it
- 48:05and we get focused on resources or the
- 48:09perceived lack thereof
- 48:12the truth is there's more resources
- 48:16we're the ones we got come from
- 48:18and the Father Knows No Limit and he's
- 48:21willing to give us everything we need to
- 48:23get the work of God done
- 48:25people quarrel over position
- 48:28once again we don't do that here
- 48:32but this is preventative message
- 48:34medicine
- 48:35I want to be the choir leader
- 48:38if I can't sing the special I'm not
- 48:41singing
- 48:42if I can't lead the ministry I'm not
- 48:45participating if I don't get a position
- 48:47in the church I'm not coming and we lose
- 48:51focus on the mission because we are
- 48:55riveted on the position the position is
- 49:00always subject to the mission the main
- 49:03thing is that you're doing Mission and
- 49:05don't worry about position because
- 49:08positions are transitory but the mission
- 49:12is constant and it must get done
- 49:19I was talking to brother Parks the other
- 49:22day brother parks and his good wife are
- 49:23moving over here in the next few weeks
- 49:25uh and and wonderful people and they're
- 49:28joining efforts and he made the
- 49:30statement he said there are some people
- 49:33that would rather be the captain of the
- 49:36mud barge
- 49:37then there'll be second mate on Queen
- 49:40Mary
- 49:42rather be the captain of the mud barge
- 49:45than to be second Nate on Queen Mary
- 49:49because they're worried about position
- 49:53they're in it for them and they're not
- 49:56in it for him but when you're in it for
- 49:59him the position does not matter what
- 50:03matters is are we reaching souls are we
- 50:07engaged in the work of God getting the
- 50:11kingdom moving forward
- 50:18we quarrel over blame in the house
- 50:22it's her fault
- 50:24no it's his fault
- 50:26but he said no that's not what I said
- 50:29you said this and I said that
- 50:35husbands and wives you know why you
- 50:38don't need to be fussed with one another
- 50:40it's because you can't be fighting
- 50:43and witnessing at the same time
- 50:48you can't be raised in hell with one
- 50:52another
- 50:53and bringing someone into your home for
- 50:55a Bible study at the same time
- 50:58we don't need to quarrel by the way
- 51:01we don't need to fall out by the way
- 51:04we need to take our problems and keep
- 51:07them subject to the mission
- 51:12another thing we fall out about is when
- 51:16we have a bad business dealing with
- 51:19someone in the church
- 51:21now let me just leave off Revival
- 51:24preaching and let me just do a little
- 51:25pastoral meddling for a minute
- 51:28now should you get church people to work
- 51:31for you or not that's debatable
- 51:37but if you get a church person
- 51:42and you do some kind of business dealing
- 51:44with them you be prepared going into it
- 51:47to eat it
- 51:48if it goes bad
- 51:51you cannot sue a brother or sister in
- 51:54Christ and be right with God
- 51:57you go sue your brother you're gonna be
- 51:59in trouble with God according First
- 52:00Corinthians
- 52:02you don't have you can't go through the
- 52:04law with a brother you just have to
- 52:06suffer the wrong is what the Bible said
- 52:10but you know what when you do business
- 52:12with people
- 52:15you're going to do business with people
- 52:16all the time that just
- 52:19they're Goofy
- 52:23they're Goofy
- 52:27we
- 52:28preached over in Jackson this afternoon
- 52:30to come about we stopped at Sonic
- 52:33to get a bite to eat and that's one of
- 52:35the worst places in the world
- 52:39and I got me a hamburger and tater tots
- 52:43I open up
- 52:44in the back and would you know that that
- 52:46goofy doofus
- 52:49after me have the report repeat my order
- 52:52about 10 times
- 52:53took the tater tots and dumped them
- 52:56upside down and went all down through
- 52:58the South
- 53:00I'm just glad they weren't the church
- 53:02person because I'd have had a bad
- 53:03attitude and I couldn't worshiped for
- 53:05two weeks with them sitting on the Pew
- 53:06called something
- 53:11if you hire church people they might
- 53:13quit
- 53:14if you work for a church man he may not
- 53:17pay you what he said he was going to pay
- 53:18you
- 53:19they may do a bad job they may fix your
- 53:22car in a break you're on and on they may
- 53:25fix your house and do a bad job and
- 53:28you'll be surprised at how many people
- 53:30lose out with the church lose out with
- 53:34God quit participating because brother
- 53:37or sister so and so did them wrong and
- 53:41they just can't get over it I've come
- 53:44here with a word for you just let it go
- 53:47let it rest put the deal on the altar
- 53:51get your eyes back on the mission
- 53:54because you have a work to do for God
- 53:57and we need everybody's hand put to the
- 54:01plow because we don't have a whole lot
- 54:03of time we need every man and every
- 54:06woman and every boy and girl
- 54:09engaged in the mission when it's time to
- 54:12shout we need everybody shouting when
- 54:15it's time to worship we need everybody
- 54:18worship we need every body with us and
- 54:21we need everybody pulling together
- 54:27see
- 54:28that's your phone up
- 54:31help by the way
- 54:34you know some other things we
- 54:37fall out with
- 54:39as we fall out over
- 54:43personal
- 54:45preferences
- 54:49and just we know this we're all adults
- 54:52or some of us are
- 54:55we do have 86 kids here
- 55:00everybody's got preferences
- 55:04I've got them
- 55:06I have a preference
- 55:09for the temperature
- 55:13and most of the time I'm so cold in this
- 55:15church
- 55:17I'm borderline miserable
- 55:20but I watch a bunch of you sweat
- 55:22and you 50 some old women
- 55:25fan of yourself
- 55:36you'll figure that out you know
- 55:41I've got one preference you've got
- 55:43another preference
- 55:45I can't hear it split my ears
- 55:48he's preaching too much he's preaching
- 55:51too long you Don't Preach enough
- 55:54we have local preachers preach and we
- 55:56have people complain
- 55:58want to hear visiting preachers we have
- 56:01visiting preachers preach people
- 56:02complain why don't the local guys preach
- 56:05why is the past to preach so much and
- 56:07there's all this and that we all have
- 56:10preferences some people like the music
- 56:12one style some people like black gospel
- 56:14other people like Southern Gospel some
- 56:16people like the old hymn book we have
- 56:18all these different preferences and
- 56:20there's nothing wrong with having a
- 56:21different preference than what your
- 56:23church does there is nothing wrong with
- 56:24that there is nothing wrong with just
- 56:27admitting to yourself that things don't
- 56:30always get done to my preference but
- 56:32what is wrong is when we get a
- 56:34contentious spirit and we begin
- 56:36complaining and we begin spreading
- 56:39poison to other people and we've been
- 56:42again talking bad about God's Pride
- 56:44because there's a little stylistic or
- 56:47preferential difference brother let's
- 56:50all keep our preferences but let's back
- 56:53up and look above our preference and see
- 56:56there's a world to save the there's a
- 56:59mission that we've got to get done and
- 57:01we've got just a little bit of time to
- 57:03do it see that you fall not out by the
- 57:07way
- 57:09oh let's all stand and clap our hands to
- 57:11the Lord
- 57:13Hallelujah
- 57:17Hallelujah
- 57:21[Music]
- 57:22we'll tell you why just remain sin I'm
- 57:24going to tell you why
- 57:26I feel this so strong
- 57:30is because we're stepping into a season
- 57:32in these next few months of stretching
- 57:36I don't fully understand at all
- 57:39but I know this after 2023 is over
- 57:44the footprint of this church
- 57:46and the footprint of Ministries out of
- 57:49this church will be forever altered
- 57:52this year is going to be a good year but
- 57:55it's going to be a hard year because
- 57:57there's a lot of work that's got to get
- 57:59done
- 58:00those are not involved right now need to
- 58:02get involved those are already involved

- 58:19weekend we got churches to plant we got
- 58:23churches to lead we got missionaries to

- 58:29it's so important that there is a spirit
- 58:32of unity in the church

- 58:37what we don't need is our best people
- 58:40getting caught up with
- 58:44attitudes offenses
- 58:48and little
- 58:50Petty
- 58:52grievances of ego
- 58:55we got to keep our side on the fact
- 58:58that there's some people out there that
- 58:59if we don't do what God's called us to
- 59:02do they're going to be lost

- 59:52in this room quarreled with another
- 59:54person

- 59:58but I know how the enemy works
- 1:00:01and I know how my flesh is and I know

- 1:00:09right now we're going to have prayer and
- 1:00:11this doesn't need to be a perfunctory

- 1:00:16the real Spirit of unity we need to get

- 1:00:20brothers and sisters and if you do have
