We're ready. 32 00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:26,120 Alright. Well Dan, go ahead and open this up in prayer. 33 00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:28,120 Yeah, let's pray. 34 00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:30,120 Thank you, God. 35 00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:34,120 Father in heaven, this is your day. 36 00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:51,120 When we look at the world, the state of the world, the pandemic, the political state, the choices of our country, the challenges that we face, 37 00:03:51,120 --> 00:04:06,120 challenges in education, challenges in running a household, challenges in life in general, what we're reminded in no small way where it says consider it all joy when you face all manner of trials and tribulations. 38 00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:12,120 Everybody wants to make that about persecution, but there's a lot of sources of trials and tribulations. 39 00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:20,120 We recognize there's a lot of things going on, a lot of things going wrong, and Lord, in our midst, there's a lot of things going right. 40 00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:24,120 We confess to you that we don't understand fully. 41 00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:27,120 We don't know how this whole thing works. 42 00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:33,120 We get the gospel that Jesus died for us and we're living for him and that we ought to be about that. 43 00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:36,120 Those of us who are saved, we sense your Holy Spirit working on us. 44 00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:47,120 We feel his direction, we hear his voice at times correcting us, directing us, convicting us, leading us to a better understanding. 45 00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:54,120 We come together to worship you because, let's see, because you're worthy of worship, because it's a thing that you gave us to do, 46 00:04:54,120 --> 00:05:01,120 because as we do that as a spiritual discipline, we chase away evil spirits, distractions, temptations, and overcome trials and tribulations. 47 00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:15,120 It's a practice that we can do, and yet so many folks who are going through it right now, who are practicing that discipline and other disciplines that you've blessed us with. 48 00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:18,120 Thank you, Lord, for watching over us, providing us, protecting us. 49 00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:22,120 Thank you for help and strength and for a desire to look to you and be guided. 50 00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:25,120 Thank you for wisdom and discernment. 51 00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:27,120 Lord, thank you for your love. 52 00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:30,120 I ask you now to take over this service. 53 00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:44,120 I ask you to lead every note that's strummed and every key that's pushed and every voice that's uplifted and every word that's cried out and every praise God, every amen, and every heart that seeks you. 54 00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:47,120 Lord, I pray for those that we do know who are sick. 55 00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:54,120 I pray for Jason, just now Lord, and the headache that he has and that I pray, Lord, you just heal him up. 56 00:05:54,120 --> 00:06:00,120 Help him let go as he lifts his voice and as he strains to sing, strains to honor you with his presence. 57 00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:09,120 Lord, we just know that even elsewhere in this room there are people overcoming burdens and barriers, and he can do it to you by your power and by your strength. 58 00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:21,120 I pray for those who are coming to be baptized today, they're young, and they've got a family of autumn, they've got things to deal with, so I pray Lord that they'll come those days and be here, be baptized. 59 00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:27,120 I pray that it signifies great growth in the kingdom, much more so than what we can do here. 60 00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:35,120 I thought that we'd pray for Melissa LaSage, who as of this morning was back in ICU. 61 00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:38,120 They say her kidneys are familar, Lord, and that'll kill you. 62 00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:47,120 So we ask you Lord for healing, we ask you Lord to lead her to yourself in a very true and certain way, and put her on the road to serving you every single day. 63 00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:52,120 We pray for all those girls, they love her, they will be hurt and aching even now. 64 00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:57,120 Corianna was afraid yesterday with her mom in the hospital, I remember saying it. 65 00:06:57,120 --> 00:07:01,120 People don't die from allergies in the hospital, the whole thing started with a bee sting. 66 00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:07,120 That's not what it's all about, we know, Lord, that you know exactly what's going on in her body, and you can heal her. 67 00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:14,120 And for those who are here today, we pray for little Zayden, who's quote, quarantined, unquote, even though he's not sick. 68 00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:22,120 We're grateful for that, we'll pray that you do it with our day, who's the guy on the end electronically, and that you help them both grow. 69 00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:26,120 They can talk about Jesus, and the father and son can talk about Jesus and learn and grow. 70 00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:31,120 We pray that for ourselves every day, that fathers and mothers and brothers and sisters and people will love you. 71 00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:35,120 Sit around and just talk about Jesus, or stand around, work around, talk about Jesus. 72 00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:42,120 We want to talk about Jesus now, to help us sing, help us worship you, and we pray in Jesus' precious name. 73 00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:43,120 Amen. 74 00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:56,120 We will enter his gates. 75 00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:34,120 I will rejoice for he has made me man. 76 00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:44,120 I will enter his gates with a tear in my heart. 77 00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:53,120 I will enter his doors with a prayer. 78 00:08:53,120 --> 00:09:10,120 He has made me man, he has made me man. I will rejoice for he has made me man. 79 00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:25,120 Sing, O watchers of our Jesus, sing his mercy and his praise. 80 00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:41,120 In the mansion's bright ablas, and with the cross of praise. When we all live in heaven, what a day we'll rejoice in there will be. 81 00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:58,120 When we all sing Jesus' praise, and we all sing his praise. While we walk uphill from passing clouds, we'll overspread the sky. 82 00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:14,120 But when challenging days are over, not a shadow not a sign, when we all get to heaven, what a day we'll rejoice in there will be. 83 00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:31,120 When we all sing Jesus' praise, and we all sing his praise. Let us then be true and faithful, trusting, serving every day. 84 00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:47,120 Just one glimpse of him in glory will once more reflect our day. When we all get to heaven, what a day we'll rejoice in there will be. 85 00:10:47,120 --> 00:11:03,120 When we all sing Jesus' praise, and we all sing his praise. Onward to the prize before us, soon his beauty will behold. 86 00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:19,120 Soon the party gates will open, we shall travel through the streets of gold. When we all get to heaven, what a day we'll rejoice in there will be. 87 00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:34,120 When we all sing Jesus' praise, and we all sing his praise. 88 00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:49,120 Praise the Lord! 89 00:11:49,120 --> 00:12:04,120 We were singing that song before the beginning here, and I went, Lord, I know that's there, where is it at? I couldn't remember. I looked in the general vicinity and I found it! Just like that. 90 00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:14,120 It's not easy to find something in the future, remember where it's at, that's as well as classic places. Sometimes you go looking in here, where is that at exactly? Especially because this happens to be in the Psalms. 91 00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:24,120 So singing that song, this is what I was thinking of. Let me back up one second, I'm going to go to verse 5. 92 00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:36,120 Offer the sacrifices of righteousness and trust in the Lord. Many are saying, who will show us any good? Lift up the light of thy countenance upon us, O Lord. 93 00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:49,120 Thou hast put gladness in my heart, more than when there are grain and new wine abound. In peace I will both lie down and sleep. 94 00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:54,120 Thou alone, O Lord, dost make me to dwell in safety. 95 00:12:54,120 --> 00:13:07,120 I was thinking about that in the light of today, and I know there have been, there's lots of reasons probably to be upset. You know what I'm saying? You go on Facebook, they'll give you a bunch of reasons to be upset. A lot of people disagreeing all over the place. People being mean to each other. 96 00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:19,120 There's lots of reasons. Obviously the pandemic, if you take a good hard look at what COVID is and what it can do to you or to your family or whatever, you might start to get fearful. You know what I'm saying? 97 00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:30,120 Or upset, angry, right? Everybody thinks everybody else should be doing it a different way. And so on. There's lots of reasons. You're upset, you're angry, you're down and out, whatever. 98 00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:40,120 Some of it's got serious health concerns. Trying to figure out what we're going to do. People dealing with job issues, relationship issues, etc. Trying to figure out what it is that we're going to do. 99 00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:55,120 Lots of reasons to be anxious, doubtful, wondering, questioning even that what we know God has said to us and what we know God is planning on doing. 100 00:13:55,120 --> 00:14:11,120 And the solemnness is this way. Many are saying who will show us any good? Who will show us any good? Lift up the light of thy confidence upon us, O Lord. That means God's face. 101 00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:26,120 Look at us and shine the light of your presence into our lives. Thou hast put gladness in my heart. More than when there grain and new wine abound. More than when you have abundance. More than when you have enough money. 102 00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:35,120 More than when you have enough resources. More than when things seem to be all good and there's nothing to be worried about. In peace, I will both lie down and sleep. 103 00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:48,120 For thou alone, O Lord, that's making me dwell in safety. Who are you trusting in today? Who's going to take care of it? If it goes bad, if it goes to the absolute worst it could go in this lifetime. 104 00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:55,120 If you die, if you're trusted in the Lord, it's going straight to heaven. We're going to sing, we're going to dance, we're going to live for eternity. 105 00:14:55,120 --> 00:15:05,120 You're going to eat better food than you've ever tasted in your life. Lay down on a better bed if you choose to. If there's any better taste in your life, go anywhere you want at any time. Serve the Lord for eternity. 106 00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:10,120 If it should go the worst it could possibly go. 107 00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:25,120 I guess there is a worse way. You could not trust the Lord. You could turn from the safety provided. You could say, no Lord, I don't need you to take care of my every concern. That would be a worse way. 108 00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:33,120 And maybe then you wouldn't have that great gladness in your heart that God provides. Man, God is so good. 109 00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:41,120 At a time in my life when I thought I was okay, I had all the finances, I had all the house, I had a beautiful wife, I had a child and a child coming and so on. 110 00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:52,120 I realized that you can be happy about whatever's going on in your life, but you need a greater gladness, a greater joy. That's how King James Version translates that verse. 111 00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:57,120 A greater gladness have you put in my heart. Praise God, he is good. 112 00:15:57,120 --> 00:16:03,120 Alright, how about you? What have you been reading? What have you been seeing? Jason, show us. 113 00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:13,120 On Friday night, I heard that one of my friends, his name is Aaron, saw a boy and his family got in a real bad car accident. 114 00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:27,120 They were five from one someone and they smashed the back of the little man there and she got a really bad car on her own. 115 00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:36,120 Her mom has a really bad car on her and it happened right after school on Thursday. 116 00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:47,120 So, you got her last name is Stahl? Star. And is it that whole family's last name you know? Are they all stars? Yeah. 117 00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:55,120 Okay, so we're going to play for the star. But she's also got a boy. Who was in the accident? Yeah, but she's only our local nation. 118 00:16:55,120 --> 00:17:06,120 Well, praise God that they survived. It is Stahl. It is Stahl, not Star. It's H.L. We're going to pray for the Stahl family. 119 00:17:06,120 --> 00:17:15,120 Okay, and as I mentioned in my opening prayer, Melissa Lasey got moved to the ICU overnight and they're right now saying she has kidney failure. 120 00:17:15,120 --> 00:17:25,120 So, pray for her. She is not, obviously not a member here, but a member of her kids are. So, they're very concerned about her. 121 00:17:25,120 --> 00:17:31,120 Others, what else you got? Something that's not a prayer request, but something you read or something you saw. 122 00:17:31,120 --> 00:17:38,120 Brother Tony Tate, what did God say to you on Mackinac Island, man? Come on. I watched all those videos. It's phenomenal what you saw. 123 00:17:38,120 --> 00:17:46,120 Yeah, I was going to say, I watched those videos, there are pictures, and I got some great readings of Stahl. I always say, to encourage, we encourage. 124 00:17:46,120 --> 00:17:54,120 We find, we find who we are in Christ, and we know who God is, and who God is not. So, I had a great time. 125 00:17:54,120 --> 00:17:59,120 It was funny like that. I was there for three days, and she said, one day, that was enough for me. 126 00:17:59,120 --> 00:18:07,120 And I was just thinking about it. I started searching the scriptures, you know, it says, you know, just one day, you know, in your courts, there are thousands elsewhere. 127 00:18:07,120 --> 00:18:14,120 I was, one day, it was going to be like, that's like 5,000 stuff, and I'll talk about that later. 128 00:18:14,120 --> 00:18:22,120 So, I was just trying to keep this real short, because I was like, I can do the sermon, but I'm going to get more later. 129 00:18:22,120 --> 00:18:30,120 Yeah, there's a lot of stuff that I've been just kind of viewing through the Word, and I'm going to cut off on that one. 130 00:18:30,120 --> 00:18:38,120 But this is something just recently, just all talking about, you know, Jesus said, who do you say I am? You know, and it was like, 131 00:18:38,120 --> 00:18:43,120 and I've been saying that to myself, who do you say you are, God? Who do you say you are? 132 00:18:43,120 --> 00:18:49,120 And we were talking about meditating on the Word of God, and you know, taking things in. 133 00:18:49,120 --> 00:18:55,120 And so, I was just telling Pastor Dan here, and they were like, what I listen to is what people say to both. 134 00:18:55,120 --> 00:19:01,120 You know, like, it's fear, whatever it is, and then when I hear that, that's probably the least thing I think about, 135 00:19:01,120 --> 00:19:04,120 because that's just everybody's flush crying out, they say whatever they want. 136 00:19:04,120 --> 00:19:10,120 And so, when I hear people say these things, I understand, well, consider, but you know, people say, well, prayer's out of school, 137 00:19:10,120 --> 00:19:14,120 you know, this is happening, and this is happening, and this, and that's true. 138 00:19:14,120 --> 00:19:21,120 And, but, in the light of that, because that's not polite, I always say, well, where's God at? 139 00:19:21,120 --> 00:19:28,120 They didn't take God out of school. They may have taken parts from God, but God's not gone. 140 00:19:28,120 --> 00:19:35,120 There's nowhere where God says, oh no, you got me, you know, it's like, he's not shriveled, he's not shrunk, 141 00:19:35,120 --> 00:19:43,120 and so, you know, like, that's just my biggest hand I'm thinking about, is that, you know, we hear people saying things, 142 00:19:43,120 --> 00:19:50,120 and you know, it's like, you have to say, well, where's God? You know, besides all that stuff that we hear all the time. 143 00:19:50,120 --> 00:19:58,120 And so, you know, my inspiration today is that, I'll tell you what God's doing. I'll tell you what God's doing right now. 144 00:19:58,120 --> 00:20:06,120 God wants us to live for him and do everything for his righteousness. There is no other, like, you can think of other things, 145 00:20:06,120 --> 00:20:11,120 but I don't think that's it. There's nothing else to think about. God's going to continually say, yeah, here I am. 146 00:20:11,120 --> 00:20:16,120 I'm not going anywhere. Nope, I'm not afraid. I'm not perverted. I'm not over here. 147 00:20:16,120 --> 00:20:23,120 I'm not against any of us in sanctification, walking, I don't think you get baptized, you know, you got baptized, you know, 148 00:20:23,120 --> 00:20:29,120 to fulfill all righteousness, you did all that you were supposed to do, you know, but, like, he doesn't need any more steps. 149 00:20:29,120 --> 00:20:36,120 He's always here. God's Spirit is always there. He's been ever-present in all times of trouble. He's ever-present anyways, you know, 150 00:20:36,120 --> 00:20:41,120 and so, just a reminder, just saying, you know, just an encouragement, like I said, or re-encouragement. 151 00:20:41,120 --> 00:20:46,120 You already know this. Don't go and say, I already know this. When you know it, go do something about it. 152 00:20:46,120 --> 00:20:53,120 Use it. If you know it, praise the Lord again. Take it within, you know. Don't just know it, but, you know, 153 00:20:53,120 --> 00:20:59,120 make it so much more than it is, you know, because we have the, like, I never liked this song. 154 00:20:59,120 --> 00:21:05,120 It was a great song, but the skill, because the title is just so sad, but the best kept secret in my generation 155 00:21:05,120 --> 00:21:11,120 should not be the best kept secret, but it still is one of the best kept secrets, you know, 156 00:21:11,120 --> 00:21:18,120 but it literally should be publicly proclaimed that Jesus is risen, that Jesus died, that Jesus suffered all, 157 00:21:18,120 --> 00:21:22,120 He suffered all sin, everything, and came back in victory, and anybody that has that relationship, 158 00:21:22,120 --> 00:21:28,120 His righteousness nails away all unrighteousness, that we no longer have to live them righteous. 159 00:21:28,120 --> 00:21:35,120 We can choose that now, but it's no longer a choice in Christ. And I'll finish with this, 160 00:21:35,120 --> 00:21:41,120 and I decided to get into the core, but I've been saying this a lot now, you know, God sees me perfect in Christ. 161 00:21:41,120 --> 00:21:46,120 He sees all of us. Those are Christians, and maybe on Facebook you need this reminder, 162 00:21:46,120 --> 00:21:53,120 is that God sees us perfect, because He doesn't see us any. He sees the blood that was spilled, the lamb that was slain, 163 00:21:53,120 --> 00:22:00,120 the Father suppresses all wrath, all of it, none of it. He has no beef with us anymore, right now, 164 00:22:00,120 --> 00:22:08,120 because we're perfect in Christ. God's perfecting us through His Spirit. God's Spirit is working in this every day, 165 00:22:08,120 --> 00:22:15,120 to make us more like Him, to reveal more of who He is, and reveal more of what we should not be. 166 00:22:15,120 --> 00:22:20,120 You know, this is God's work, it's not our work. That's why no one can even, you know, you can pray, you can encourage, 167 00:22:20,120 --> 00:22:27,120 you can even, if God's allowing you to be there for Him, but nothing can do, because it truly is God's work, 168 00:22:27,120 --> 00:22:33,120 then no one can boast someday in heaven. No one's going to say, I did this. No, they're going to say, glory to God, it was all you. 169 00:22:33,120 --> 00:22:39,120 And the third thing is, and this is the great part, you don't put your hands up in the air, put your hands up in the Spirit, 170 00:22:39,120 --> 00:22:50,120 praising for this, but the day is coming, just Sunday, in heaven, someday we will be perfect with Christ. Someday, 171 00:22:50,120 --> 00:22:56,120 even brothers and sisters that are failing, frail, you've got to understand, it's not over. 172 00:22:56,120 --> 00:23:03,120 You know, I've been through a ten year absolute, like I felt like I was, like I just said, I just stepped out of the Twilight Zone, 173 00:23:03,120 --> 00:23:07,120 everybody knows that show, where you go into the Zone, and you can't get out, you know, and I finally got out, 174 00:23:07,120 --> 00:23:13,120 and I'm actually, I've been in so much like, I don't know where I've been, but I'm thankful that, you know, 175 00:23:13,120 --> 00:23:19,120 I actually can be, through New Heights, through many brothers and sisters, I just thank God for everybody, 176 00:23:19,120 --> 00:23:24,120 and everything that God does, through His creation, and the Creator Himself, the Spirit living God. 177 00:23:24,120 --> 00:23:29,120 If it wasn't even here, I wouldn't even be able to be here. And it goes for everybody. 178 00:23:29,120 --> 00:23:34,120 And I'm not trying to say, say hallelujah, it don't matter, hallelujah is already there, you know, 179 00:23:34,120 --> 00:23:41,120 and so, I'm just saying, someday we'll be perfect. There will be a day we won't be flawed, there will be a day like that. 180 00:23:41,120 --> 00:23:46,120 In the world, we'll have to bow down and say every day, and every time confessing Jesus is Lord, 181 00:23:46,120 --> 00:23:50,120 and then they'll have to defend themselves against their own unrighteousness. 182 00:23:50,120 --> 00:23:55,120 And I don't want to say it, but it has to be told, because it makes the perfect Holy Judge, 183 00:23:55,120 --> 00:24:04,120 they'll all be banished forever, in hell, condemned by God's own wrath, that they chose death, 184 00:24:04,120 --> 00:24:11,120 God's love, and His holiness, and His true perfection at the cross. 185 00:24:11,120 --> 00:24:17,120 Alright, alright. Hey, did you know there's more stars in the U.P. than there is here? 186 00:24:17,120 --> 00:24:20,120 I mean, not actually, right? You just see a lot of stars over there. 187 00:24:20,120 --> 00:24:25,120 It's dark, there's no lights, and you can see, like, the water just goes on forever, 188 00:24:25,120 --> 00:24:27,120 and now you look up and see just so many stars. 189 00:24:27,120 --> 00:24:30,120 And you go out to country, you can see more stars than you can in the city, 190 00:24:30,120 --> 00:24:35,120 but there's so many stars, what a blessing. God is so good, and you're absolutely right. 191 00:24:35,120 --> 00:24:38,120 Hey, we're going to play a game. Everybody, Jason, put that down, I want to see it again. 192 00:24:38,120 --> 00:24:42,120 Thank you, sir, I love you. Alright? Okay. So we're going to play a quick game, alright? 193 00:24:42,120 --> 00:24:45,120 So, I hope you're here as a follower of the Lord Jesus Christ. 194 00:24:45,120 --> 00:24:48,120 If you're not, it's okay, because God still loves you, still speaking in your heart, 195 00:24:48,120 --> 00:24:51,120 still convicting you of sins, still leading you in the right direction. 196 00:24:51,120 --> 00:24:55,120 So, if you are a follower of the Lord Jesus Christ, you can be a mouthpiece for God. 197 00:24:55,120 --> 00:24:58,120 That means you know what God would say on certain subjects, okay? 198 00:24:58,120 --> 00:25:00,120 This is what Tony Tate was kind of touching, alright? 199 00:25:00,120 --> 00:25:03,120 So this is a response time. I'm going to ask you a question, 200 00:25:03,120 --> 00:25:08,120 and then altogether, after this short delay, we're going to answer the question, okay? 201 00:25:08,120 --> 00:25:12,120 Now, you may ask a question differently than somebody else that's near you, or whatever. 202 00:25:12,120 --> 00:25:16,120 I hope not, I hope we all can kind of agree, but if not, it's okay. 203 00:25:16,120 --> 00:25:19,120 There aren't any wrong answers, but the answer to the question is, 204 00:25:19,120 --> 00:25:21,120 what would God say on this topic? Alright? 205 00:25:21,120 --> 00:25:24,120 Some of them are going to be easy, I don't know, but it depends on how the Lord leads. 206 00:25:24,120 --> 00:25:27,120 I've written this down, so this is in the Spirit, I think. Alright? 207 00:25:27,120 --> 00:25:31,120 So here we go. First of all, does God love all people? 208 00:25:31,120 --> 00:25:34,120 Yes. Yes, that was an easy one, alright? 209 00:25:34,120 --> 00:25:38,120 Has God bigger than your current problem? Yes. 210 00:25:38,120 --> 00:25:43,120 Okay. This is a little harder. Does God want you to work harder? 211 00:25:43,120 --> 00:25:48,120 Yes. Thank you. That was great work, man. 212 00:25:48,120 --> 00:25:50,120 You heard from the Lord. Okay, good stuff. 213 00:25:50,120 --> 00:25:55,120 Can God forgive your worst sin? Yes. 214 00:25:55,120 --> 00:26:00,120 Alright. Will God forgive your worst sin in any way other than Jesus? 215 00:26:00,120 --> 00:26:03,120 Oh. Oh. See, these are leading questions, right? 216 00:26:03,120 --> 00:26:06,120 Somebody else, somebody got a question? In the room, you got a question in your heart. 217 00:26:06,120 --> 00:26:09,120 Ask a question, we'll answer it. Anybody? 218 00:26:09,120 --> 00:26:14,120 You don't have to. If you got a question, you can ask it now. 219 00:26:14,120 --> 00:26:18,120 One once, twice. Alright, Tony? 220 00:26:18,120 --> 00:26:21,120 Is God ever present and always here at all times? 221 00:26:21,120 --> 00:26:24,120 Alright, is God always here? Yes. 222 00:26:24,120 --> 00:26:26,120 Alright, good. Anybody else? Yes. 223 00:26:26,120 --> 00:26:31,120 Right here.

Alright. 225 00:26:33,120 --> 00:26:37,120 Can we do all things through His Son who strengthens us? Yes. 226 00:26:37,120 --> 00:26:40,120 The God kids are going to get that one right on. That's a key verse. 227 00:26:40,120 --> 00:26:42,120 Alright. Somebody over here have a question? 228 00:26:42,120 --> 00:26:44,120 Shon, do you have a question?
