  159. 24:15going to go to the Book of Genesis
  160. 24:17chapter 45.
  161. 24:19and we're going to hear a little bit
  162. 24:21from the word of the Lord
  163. 24:22[Music]
  164. 24:24I'm feeling so good about family months
  165. 24:28and I have enjoyed these last few
  166. 24:30Services preaching about family we're
  167. 24:32going to take a break from that tonight
  168. 24:35but Brethren let me just say this
  169. 24:38it is so important for your wife to be
  170. 24:41in church Wednesday night
  171. 24:43I mean just
  172. 24:45she got to be here she don't make it any
  173. 24:48other Wednesday night she got to be here
  174. 24:51all you single ladies we gotta have you
  175. 24:53in the house of God Wednesday night
  176. 24:56this past Wednesday we put the brothers
  177. 24:58in the hot seat and talked about
  178. 25:01a man's role in the home and
  179. 25:05and I tell you got a little tense in
  180. 25:07here Wednesday night
  181. 25:09a little tense in here this morning too
  182. 25:11but that's good
  183. 25:14when you feel tension during preaching
  184. 25:16that's when the word of God's really
  185. 25:18starting to
  186. 25:20kind of push them some stuff that needs
  187. 25:22to be pushed on well I'm sure we have
  188. 25:24none of that Wednesday night but we're
  189. 25:27going to be teaching about a woman's
  190. 25:30role in the home
  191. 25:32and I'm not going to give it all away
  192. 25:33but other than to say that the word of
  193. 25:36God's awesome
  194. 25:37and it brings a blessing every time it's
  195. 25:39tried and applied and we're going to try
  196. 25:41it and apply it
  197. 25:42and uh
  198. 25:44and we're not going to have any tension
  199. 25:46Wednesday night because these sisters
  200. 25:48pretty much get it together

  202. 25:53do Wednesday night just say Kudos ditto

  229. 27:03as some of us who are not ice skaters
  230. 27:06try to ice skate
  231. 27:08you're welcome to do that there'd be
  232. 27:09concessions but the big time is we're
  233. 27:11just gonna we're gonna have some good
  234. 27:13times
  235. 27:14now when I grew up in a church I grew up
  236. 27:16in a small Church in West Virginia
  237. 27:19to my recollection
  238. 27:22from the time I was
  239. 27:24born
  240. 27:26until I was about 16 years old to my
  241. 27:29recollection I can recall one
  242. 27:33instance one
  243. 27:36where the church rented a little gym and
  244. 27:38had a basketball night
  245. 27:40one time in 16 years almost on Friday
  246. 27:42night
  247. 27:44and man I thought that was just the
  248. 27:46greatest thing
  249. 27:47and I wonder why we didn't do it all the
  250. 27:49time and I don't know why we didn't all
  251. 27:51the time but that's just what it was so
  252. 27:53a couple points that would make there
  253. 27:55you don't have to have fun stuff to live
  254. 27:56for God
  255. 27:58and because I live for god without
  256. 28:00having play in and all that stuff but
  257. 28:03when we have these moments let's not
  258. 28:06take them for granted
  259. 28:07let's let's get behind it let's have a
  260. 28:09good time let's let's squeeze every
  261. 28:11minute of enjoyment that we can
  262. 28:14out of our time together
  263. 28:16I'm going to read from Genesis chapter
  264. 28:1845
  265. 28:21this is a word that I've never preached
  266. 28:22before I've never preached from this
  267. 28:24passage it dropped in my spirit a few
  268. 28:26weeks ago and I've made note of it
  269. 28:28just feel like tonight's right for this
  270. 28:33verse 17 and Pharaoh said unto Joseph
  271. 28:36say unto thy brethren
  272. 28:38this do ye
  273. 28:40laid your beast and go get you into the
  274. 28:43land of Canaan take your father and your
  275. 28:46households and come unto me and I will
  276. 28:47give you the good of the land of Egypt
  277. 28:49and you shall eat the fat of the Lamb
  278. 28:52now there are commanded this do ye take
  279. 28:55you wagons out of the land of Egypt for
  280. 28:57your little ones for your wives and
  281. 28:59bring your father and come
  282. 29:02also regard not your stuff
  283. 29:05for the good of all the land of Egypt is
  284. 29:10yours
  285. 29:11hold that for a minute
  286. 29:14I just saw something there
  287. 29:17I'm gonna make a note of this and when
  288. 29:19you forget about this remark I'm gonna
  289. 29:20come back preach it
  290. 29:22some people don't want to live for God
  291. 29:25because of their stuff
  292. 29:28so I got to give up this and give up
  293. 29:31that and give up that
  294. 29:33but if you knew the good that was
  295. 29:36waiting for you in the land God's
  296. 29:37bringing you to
  297. 29:39so far outweighs your stuff you let go
  298. 29:42of your stuff
  299. 29:44I don't know who that's for but somebody
  300. 29:46just needs a regard not your stuff
  301. 29:48because the good of the land is yours
  302. 29:51I love that
  303. 29:55I wish I brought highlighters to the
  304. 29:56pulpit I'd highlight that in my Bible
  305. 29:58somebody highlighted for me and come to
  306. 30:00me after church remind me about it
  307. 30:03verse 21 in the children of Israel did
  308. 30:05so and Joseph gave them the wagons
  309. 30:07according to the Commandment of pharaoh
  310. 30:09and gave them provision for the way
  311. 30:11to all of them he gave each man changes
  312. 30:14arraignment but to Benjamin he gave 300
  313. 30:18pieces of silver and five changes of
  314. 30:21raiment and to his father he sent after
  315. 30:24this manner ten asses Laden with the
  316. 30:26good things of Egypt intense she asked
  317. 30:28his Laden with corn and bread and meat
  318. 30:30for his father by the way
  319. 30:32so he sent his Brethren away and they
  320. 30:34departed and he said unto them and
  321. 30:36here's what I'm preaching tonight
  322. 30:38see
  323. 30:41that ye fall not out
  324. 30:44by the way
  325. 30:47brethren there are some people that need
  326. 30:50saved
  327. 30:51go get them bring them back
  328. 30:54but while you're going out to save them
  329. 30:57people
  330. 30:58see that you fall out not out by the way
  331. 31:03one translation
  332. 31:06said it this way don't quarrel on the
  333. 31:08way
  334. 31:10and so for a few minutes I'm going to
  335. 31:12preach see that you fall not
  336. 31:15out by the way can you receive the word
  337. 31:17of God with an amen God bless you you
  338. 31:20can be seated
  339. 31:23the Book of Genesis is the first book of
  340. 31:26the Bible it is a very
  341. 31:28important book
  342. 31:31Genesis means beginnings and it is the
  343. 31:35book that describes the beginnings of
  344. 31:37the world in the first three chapters we
  345. 31:40read the story of creation
  346. 31:42we read about how Adam and Eve fell in
  347. 31:45the Sin got messed up
  348. 31:47chapters 9 and 10 we read about Noah and
  349. 31:51the Ark
  350. 31:52and
  351. 31:53um the flood and all the stuff that went
  352. 31:56along with that then we read about the
  353. 31:58development of the human civilization
  354. 32:00we read about Abraham and how that God
  355. 32:03made Covenant with Abraham and he became
  356. 32:06the father of all who would be called
  357. 32:07faithful from there on after
  358. 32:10we read of Isaac Jacob and the great
  359. 32:14Patriarchs
  360. 32:15now Genesis is important
  361. 32:18there's a lot of fundamental passages
  362. 32:21that if we took them out of Genesis
  363. 32:24we would we would not understand an
  364. 32:27entirety the rest of the Bible
  365. 32:30for example if you took the story of
  366. 32:32creation away in the fall
  367. 32:34none of the story of redemption would
  368. 32:37make sense because we wouldn't know what
  369. 32:39we were redeemed from
  370. 32:41if we took Abraham out of the Bible
  371. 32:44many of the New Testament theological
  372. 32:47passages would crumble like a house made
  373. 32:50out of cheap cards because it is the
  374. 32:53story of Abraham that gives meaning to
  375. 32:56some of the rich theology in the New
  376. 32:58Testament
  377. 33:00but one thing that I find interesting in
  378. 33:04the study of the Book of Genesis
  379. 33:07is the amount of time that was
  380. 33:09apportioned
  381. 33:11to covering the various
  382. 33:13uh epics if you will covered in this
  383. 33:17book
  384. 33:18three chapters are given to the creation
  385. 33:20in the fall
  386. 33:22just a couple of three chapters are
  387. 33:24given to Noah
  388. 33:26but when you get to Abraham there is 10
  389. 33:29chapters devoted to covering his life
  390. 33:32story
  391. 33:34but what is more remarkable to me
  392. 33:36personally
  393. 33:38is that when we get to the story of
  394. 33:40Joseph
  395. 33:42starts I believe in chapter 36 the rest
  396. 33:46of the Book of Genesis
  397. 33:48is devoted to the life of Joseph Psalm
  398. 33:5114 chapters
  399. 33:54very few other people in the Bible
  400. 33:59receive as much detail
  401. 34:02and as much account of their life as did
  402. 34:06Joseph
  403. 34:07now there's probably lots of reasons for
  404. 34:09that but one of the reasons that Joseph
  405. 34:12receives a lot of tension is that Joseph
  406. 34:15is an Old Testament type of Jesus Christ
  407. 34:20Jesus told his story
  408. 34:24throughout the Old Testament he said in
  409. 34:27one place that we ought to search the
  410. 34:29scripture because they testify of him
  411. 34:33and so the Old Testament in watercolor
  412. 34:37pictures
  413. 34:38began to sketch out for us the coming of
  414. 34:42a savior
  415. 34:43his death his burial his resurrection
  416. 34:46and his Triumph as king of glory
  417. 34:50and to really get the full picture of
  418. 34:53Jesus
  419. 34:54you got to go beyond the gospels Matthew
  420. 34:57Mark Luke and John and
  421. 34:59you've got to see him in the types in
  422. 35:03the shadows in the Bible
  423. 35:05now
  424. 35:07there are definitely 60 direct
  425. 35:10comparisons
  426. 35:12between Joseph and Jesus
  427. 35:15and I'm not going to
  428. 35:18talk to you about 60 of them but let me
  429. 35:20just mention a couple of them
  430. 35:23Joseph was a shepherd
  431. 35:26he just was the great Shepherd
  432. 35:28Joseph was favored by his father
  433. 35:31Jesus was beloved by the father
  434. 35:35Jesus Joseph was hated by his Brethren
  435. 35:38and so was Jesus
  436. 35:41Joseph was stripped of his coat of many
  437. 35:44colors
  438. 35:45and when Jesus went to the Cross he was
  439. 35:48stripped of his coat Joseph was cast
  440. 35:52into a pit Jesus was put into a tomb
  441. 35:55Joseph was pulled out of the pit alive
  442. 35:59Jesus came out of the Tomb alive
  443. 36:02resurrected from the dead
  444. 36:05Joseph was sold for pieces of silver the
  445. 36:09price of a slave and when Judas betrayed
  446. 36:12Jesus he betrayed him with 30 pieces of
  447. 36:15silver the price of a Slave
  448. 36:19Judah was the one Joseph's brother Judas
  449. 36:22suggested selling his brother
  450. 36:25and the Greek name for Judah is Jesus
  451. 36:29Judas
  452. 36:30Joseph when he was put into the pit his
  453. 36:33brothers took
  454. 36:35a coach and they dipped it in the blood
  455. 36:38of a goat and they brought that Bloody
  456. 36:41coat and gave it to his father will the
  457. 36:46Bible teaches that Jesus was our
  458. 36:48scapegoat and his blood was presented to
  459. 36:52the father for a sin offering and that's
  460. 36:55just nine of the comparisons of Joseph
  461. 36:59and Jesus and I could go on and I've got
  462. 37:03a list of at least 60 comparisons
  463. 37:06between Joseph and Jesus and so the
  464. 37:09reason we study the story of Joseph is
  465. 37:12he has something to teach us about Jesus
  466. 37:15and about New Testament realities but I
  467. 37:20believe that the story of Joseph is also
  468. 37:22rich with metaphors that speak to us in
  469. 37:27the church those of us that are here to
  470. 37:30do the work of God and labor together to
  471. 37:34reach a world that's lost and dying and
  472. 37:36sin we can look at the story of Joseph
  473. 37:39and there's something there to teach us
  474. 37:42about how things ought to be in the
  475. 37:46church today
  476. 37:48and so let's take a little closer look
  477. 37:50at our passage tonight
  478. 37:53Joseph is in Egypt
  479. 37:55he is now second in command of the land
  480. 37:58and it was a famine all over that region
  481. 38:02but because Joseph was able to interpret
  482. 38:05Pharaoh's dreams
  483. 38:07they were forewarned of the famine that
  484. 38:09was coming and they they spent years
  485. 38:12racking up crops and building big Barns
  486. 38:16and so when the famine came there was
  487. 38:19plenty of provision for all of those
  488. 38:23that were hungry because the godly man
  489. 38:27had stored up when the times were good
  490. 38:31and so finally
  491. 38:33Joseph's brothers find themselves in
  492. 38:38Egypt they present themselves to their
  493. 38:41brother and when Joseph hears about his
  494. 38:45father's household
  495. 38:47in a place where there is famine they
  496. 38:51are hungry there's not enough to eat and
  497. 38:54their lives are in jeopardy
  498. 38:57Joseph sends his brothers on a mission
  499. 39:01and he lets them know I want you to go
  500. 39:03back
  501. 39:04to your household
  502. 39:07find all of those that are hungry
  503. 39:10bring wagons and let them know that if
  504. 39:15they can just get down here with me in
  505. 39:18Egypt I'm going to take care of them and
  506. 39:21I'm going to satisfy their hunger so he
  507. 39:25took bread he took grain he took money
  508. 39:30from the storehouse
  509. 39:31and he loaded down the people
  510. 39:35that were going out to save those that
  511. 39:38were hungry and bring them back and he
  512. 39:41said take this provision with you and
  513. 39:45this provision is going to be assigned
  514. 39:48to the hungry that there is more where
  515. 39:51that come from I see a parallel there
  516. 39:55because you and I when we were saved we
  517. 39:58were not saved to sit on a Pew we were
  518. 40:02saved to reach the world with the Gospel
  519. 40:05of Jesus Christ
  520. 40:06[Applause]
  521. 40:09and God has loaded us down in this
  522. 40:13church with spiritual bread and
  523. 40:15spiritual sustenance we have something
  524. 40:19to give to the world don't you ever feel
  525. 40:22bashful about witnessing the people
  526. 40:25because you have the Holy Ghost you have
  527. 40:29revelation of truth and you have
  528. 40:32something that is worth sharing so you
  529. 40:36understand that you are on a mission
  530. 40:38sent by God Almighty into the City of
  531. 40:43Memphis and surrounding towns to do the
  532. 40:47work of God to find Souls that need to
  533. 40:50be saved that is our mission today
  534. 40:54[Applause]
  535. 40:58the Reason God blesses us and this even
  536. 41:01ties into natural blessings if God
  537. 41:05blesses you to make good money
  538. 41:07it's so that you can go out and do even
  539. 41:09more in your witnessing
  540. 41:11we've got to understand that God equips
  541. 41:14us for the mission and we are equipped
  542. 41:18this is not something we got to pray
  543. 41:20that he equips us later because we're
  544. 41:22already equipped we're already filled
  545. 41:25with the Holy Ghost we already have the
  546. 41:27word of God every ingredient this church
  547. 41:30has to double or triple in the next 18
  548. 41:34months is already in the building right
  549. 41:38now
  550. 41:40We Don't Need Another Blessing we
  551. 41:42already got enough blessing that we
  552. 41:44could go out there and do something with
  553. 41:47it
  554. 41:47[Applause]
  555. 41:50so Joseph sends his brethren
  556. 41:54go back to Canaan find those that are
  557. 41:57hungry lost and struggling and bring
  558. 42:01them down here to the place where there
  559. 42:03is bread that is the mission of our
  560. 42:06church
  561. 42:07that is your mission that's my mission
  562. 42:10but there's one aspect of
  563. 42:14this story that stands out to me
  564. 42:18I don't know what it means but I'm going
  565. 42:20to preach about it
  566. 42:23it's a bad thing when preachers don't
  567. 42:25know what something means but they
  568. 42:26preach about it anyway
  569. 42:28I've heard a few preachers do that
  570. 42:31but let me tell you about a part of this
  571. 42:33story that catches my attention
  572. 42:36is that wild all of the brethren
  573. 42:40of Joseph were equipped
  574. 42:43to go reach the loss
  575. 42:45one brother
  576. 42:48Benjamin
  577. 42:49got an extra portion
  578. 42:53the rest of them just got some silver
  579. 42:56Benjamin got 300 pieces
  580. 43:01jimin was given five times what
  581. 43:06everybody else was given
  582. 43:08five changes of raiment
  583. 43:12and so this lets me know a harsh reality
  584. 43:17of Kingdom work
  585. 43:19God blesses everybody to do his work
  586. 43:23but not everybody gets blessed on the
  587. 43:25same level
  588. 43:27there are some Benjamins that have a
  589. 43:30special favor of the father
  590. 43:33and when Benjamin gets blessed he gets
  591. 43:36five times what other people are doing
  592. 43:39and he's able to do five times what
  593. 43:43others are doing now once again I don't
  594. 43:46know what all that means but I see a
  595. 43:49story of the mission of the church in
  596. 43:52this passage and I believe there are
  597. 43:55some churches that God raised us up and
  598. 43:59there are individuals that God raises up
  599. 44:02that have a Benjamin anointing and they
  600. 44:06are blessed above and beyond and way
  601. 44:09over measure now brother I don't know
  602. 44:12what it takes to be a Benjamin church
  603. 44:14but I want to be a Benjamin Church I
  604. 44:17want that Benjamin anointing I want
  605. 44:20Benjamin men and women in this church
  606. 44:22that have the favor of the father and we
  607. 44:25are blessed five times what everybody
  608. 44:29else is being blessed
  609. 44:34hey man if you feel that way why don't
  610. 44:36you just reach your hand up right now
  611. 44:39Hallelujah
  612. 44:42Hallelujah
  613. 44:45whatever it takes
  614. 44:48to have that kind of favor
  615. 44:51there's no price too much
  616. 44:54to walk into that Benjamin dimension
  617. 44:58so here they're going
  618. 45:00they have been equipped
  619. 45:02they have been sent
  620. 45:04they have a mission
  621. 45:07time
  622. 45:08is of the essence
  623. 45:11but then we come to the one statement
  624. 45:14that we read at the last
  625. 45:17Joseph's parting words to these brothers
  626. 45:22as they were going on their mission to
  627. 45:24save the hungry
  628. 45:27he said see
  629. 45:29that your fall not out by the way
  630. 45:37what a thing to say
  631. 45:39to someone
  632. 45:41you would think them knowing
  633. 45:44the importance
  634. 45:47of getting to the family that we're
  635. 45:49starving
  636. 45:51they knew the time
  637. 45:54was limited to get the work done
  638. 45:57they were already equipped
  639. 46:00but now Joseph has got to tell them
  640. 46:04while you're going out
  641. 46:06see that you fall not out by the way
  642. 46:11in other words don't get to quarreling
  643. 46:14amongst yourself
  644. 46:16and lose sight of what God has sent you
  645. 46:19to do
  646. 46:22now I'm going to break just a couple of
  647. 46:24minutes I'm not going to be wrong
  648. 46:26most of my preaching is done
  649. 46:29[Music]
  650. 46:30our church has been seeing incredible
  651. 46:33things happen
  652. 46:36and I don't know of any problems
  653. 46:40that are going on in this nature right
  654. 46:42now
  655. 46:44but I feel compelled to get in this
  656. 46:46pulpit
  657. 46:47and give us some preventative medicine
  658. 46:52because it is human nature
  659. 46:55that when we are stepping up
  660. 46:58to the most critical moments that we
  661. 47:01allow things to Sidetrack us
  662. 47:04and we get caught up in a bunch of petty
  663. 47:07little issues
  664. 47:10they're in the big picture do not amount
  665. 47:12to a hill of beings
  666. 47:15I'm here to tell you Christian Life
  667. 47:17Church God has put us in this city and
  668. 47:20in this region for a purpose and it is
  669. 47:23critical that we do not fall out by the
  670. 47:27way
  671. 47:28[Applause]
  672. 47:31thank you
  673. 47:33so when people get to fussing in a
  674. 47:36church and quarreling what do they
  675. 47:38quarrel over
  676. 47:39well the first thing we quarrel over is
  677. 47:41limited resources
  678. 47:45I need that room for my Ministry no I
  679. 47:47need it for my Ministry
  680. 47:49I need that person for my Ministry no I
  681. 47:52need that person for my Ministry
  682. 47:54and we
  683. 47:56we envision
  684. 47:58the resources being so limited
  685. 48:02that we got a quarrel over it
  686. 48:05and we get focused on resources or the
  687. 48:09perceived lack thereof
  688. 48:12the truth is there's more resources
  689. 48:16we're the ones we got come from
  690. 48:18and the Father Knows No Limit and he's
  691. 48:21willing to give us everything we need to
  692. 48:23get the work of God done
  693. 48:25people quarrel over position
  694. 48:28once again we don't do that here
  695. 48:32but this is preventative message
  696. 48:34medicine
  697. 48:35I want to be the choir leader
  698. 48:38if I can't sing the special I'm not
  699. 48:41singing
  700. 48:42if I can't lead the ministry I'm not
  701. 48:45participating if I don't get a position
  702. 48:47in the church I'm not coming and we lose
  703. 48:51focus on the mission because we are
  704. 48:55riveted on the position the position is
  705. 49:00always subject to the mission the main
  706. 49:03thing is that you're doing Mission and
  707. 49:05don't worry about position because
  708. 49:08positions are transitory but the mission
  709. 49:12is constant and it must get done
  710. 49:19I was talking to brother Parks the other
  711. 49:22day brother parks and his good wife are
  712. 49:23moving over here in the next few weeks
  713. 49:25uh and and wonderful people and they're
  714. 49:28joining efforts and he made the
  715. 49:30statement he said there are some people
  716. 49:33that would rather be the captain of the
  717. 49:36mud barge
  718. 49:37then there'll be second mate on Queen
  719. 49:40Mary
  720. 49:42rather be the captain of the mud barge
  721. 49:45than to be second Nate on Queen Mary
  722. 49:49because they're worried about position
  723. 49:53they're in it for them and they're not
  724. 49:56in it for him but when you're in it for
  725. 49:59him the position does not matter what
  726. 50:03matters is are we reaching souls are we
  727. 50:07engaged in the work of God getting the
  728. 50:11kingdom moving forward
  729. 50:18we quarrel over blame in the house
  730. 50:22it's her fault
  731. 50:24no it's his fault
  732. 50:26but he said no that's not what I said
  733. 50:29you said this and I said that
  734. 50:35husbands and wives you know why you
  735. 50:38don't need to be fussed with one another
  736. 50:40it's because you can't be fighting
  737. 50:43and witnessing at the same time
  738. 50:48you can't be raised in hell with one
  739. 50:52another
  740. 50:53and bringing someone into your home for
  741. 50:55a Bible study at the same time
  742. 50:58we don't need to quarrel by the way
  743. 51:01we don't need to fall out by the way
  744. 51:04we need to take our problems and keep
  745. 51:07them subject to the mission
  746. 51:12another thing we fall out about is when
  747. 51:16we have a bad business dealing with
  748. 51:19someone in the church
  749. 51:21now let me just leave off Revival
  750. 51:24preaching and let me just do a little
  751. 51:25pastoral meddling for a minute
  752. 51:28now should you get church people to work
  753. 51:31for you or not that's debatable
  754. 51:37but if you get a church person
  755. 51:42and you do some kind of business dealing
  756. 51:44with them you be prepared going into it
  757. 51:47to eat it
  758. 51:48if it goes bad
  759. 51:51you cannot sue a brother or sister in
  760. 51:54Christ and be right with God
  761. 51:57you go sue your brother you're gonna be
  762. 51:59in trouble with God according First
  763. 52:00Corinthians
  764. 52:02you don't have you can't go through the
  765. 52:04law with a brother you just have to
  766. 52:06suffer the wrong is what the Bible said
  767. 52:10but you know what when you do business
  768. 52:12with people
  769. 52:15you're going to do business with people
  770. 52:16all the time that just
  771. 52:19they're Goofy
  772. 52:23they're Goofy
  773. 52:27we
  774. 52:28preached over in Jackson this afternoon
  775. 52:30to come about we stopped at Sonic
  776. 52:33to get a bite to eat and that's one of
  777. 52:35the worst places in the world
  778. 52:39and I got me a hamburger and tater tots
  779. 52:43I open up
  780. 52:44in the back and would you know that that
  781. 52:46goofy doofus
  782. 52:49after me have the report repeat my order
  783. 52:52about 10 times
  784. 52:53took the tater tots and dumped them
  785. 52:56upside down and went all down through
  786. 52:58the South
  787. 53:00I'm just glad they weren't the church
  788. 53:02person because I'd have had a bad
  789. 53:03attitude and I couldn't worshiped for
  790. 53:05two weeks with them sitting on the Pew
  791. 53:06called something
  792. 53:11if you hire church people they might
  793. 53:13quit
  794. 53:14if you work for a church man he may not
  795. 53:17pay you what he said he was going to pay
  796. 53:18you
  797. 53:19they may do a bad job they may fix your
  798. 53:22car in a break you're on and on they may
  799. 53:25fix your house and do a bad job and
  800. 53:28you'll be surprised at how many people
  801. 53:30lose out with the church lose out with
  802. 53:34God quit participating because brother
  803. 53:37or sister so and so did them wrong and
  804. 53:41they just can't get over it I've come
  805. 53:44here with a word for you just let it go
  806. 53:47let it rest put the deal on the altar
  807. 53:51get your eyes back on the mission
  808. 53:54because you have a work to do for God
  809. 53:57and we need everybody's hand put to the
  810. 54:01plow because we don't have a whole lot
  811. 54:03of time we need every man and every
  812. 54:06woman and every boy and girl

  821. 54:34you know some other things we
  822. 54:37fall out with
  823. 54:39as we fall out over
  824. 54:43personal
  825. 54:45preferences
  826. 54:49and just we know this we're all adults
  827. 54:52or some of us are
  828. 54:55we do have 86 kids here
  829. 55:00everybody's got preferences
  830. 55:04I've got them
  831. 55:06I have a preference
  832. 55:09for the temperature
  833. 55:13and most of the time I'm so cold in this
  834. 55:15church
  835. 55:17I'm borderline miserable
  836. 55:20but I watch a bunch of you sweat
  837. 55:22and you 50 some old women
  838. 55:25fan of yourself
  839. 55:36you'll figure that out you know
  840. 55:41I've got one preference you've got
  841. 55:43another preference
  842. 55:45I can't hear it split my ears
  843. 55:48he's preaching too much he's preaching
  844. 55:51too long you Don't Preach enough
  845. 55:54we have local preachers preach and we
  846. 55:56have people complain
  847. 55:58want to hear visiting preachers we have
  848. 56:01visiting preachers preach people
  849. 56:02complain why don't the local guys preach
  850. 56:05why is the past to preach so much and
  851. 56:07there's all this and that we all have
  852. 56:10preferences some people like the music
  853. 56:12one style some people like black gospel
  854. 56:14other people like Southern Gospel some
  855. 56:16people like the old hymn book we have
  856. 56:18all these different preferences and
  857. 56:20there's nothing wrong with having a
  858. 56:21different preference than what your
  859. 56:23church does there is nothing wrong with
  860. 56:24that there is nothing wrong with just
  861. 56:27admitting to yourself that things don't
  862. 56:30always get done to my preference but
  863. 56:32what is wrong is when we get a
  864. 56:34contentious spirit and we begin
  865. 56:36complaining and we begin spreading
  866. 56:39poison to other people and we've been
  867. 56:42again talking bad about God's Pride
  868. 56:44because there's a little stylistic or
  869. 56:47preferential difference brother let's
  870. 56:50all keep our preferences but let's back
  871. 56:53up and look above our preference and see
  872. 56:56there's a world to save the there's a
  873. 56:59mission that we've got to get done and
  874. 57:01we've got just a little bit of time to
  875. 57:03do it see that you fall not out by the
  876. 57:07way
  877. 57:09oh let's all stand and clap our hands to
  878. 57:11the Lord
  879. 57:13Hallelujah

  883. 57:24going to tell you why
  884. 57:26I feel this so strong
  885. 57:30is because we're stepping into a season
  886. 57:32in these next few months of stretching
  887. 57:36I don't fully understand at all
  888. 57:39but I know this after 2023 is over
  889. 57:44the footprint of this church
  890. 57:46and the footprint of Ministries out of
  891. 57:49this church will be forever altered
  892. 57:52this year is going to be a good year but
  893. 57:55it's going to be a hard year because
  894. 57:57there's a lot of work that's got to get
  895. 57:59done
  896. 58:00those are not involved right now need to
  897. 58:02get involved those are already involved

  906. 58:29it's so important that there is a spirit
  907. 58:32of unity in the church
  908. 58:34[Applause]
  909. 58:37what we don't need is our best people
  910. 58:40getting caught up with
  911. 58:44attitudes offenses
  912. 58:48and little
  913. 58:50Petty
  914. 58:52grievances of ego
  915. 58:55we got to keep our side on the fact
  916. 58:58that there's some people out there that
  917. 58:59if we don't do what God's called us to
  918. 59:02do they're going to be lost
