1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,000
And God, we come this morning to thank you for your mercy, your love and grace.

2
00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:12,000
We thank you for the blessedness of all the families who have become a part of this body of Christ

3
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:16,000
through confirmation and joining of the church.

4
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:21,000
We thank you, God, for your grace and your mercy and the spirit of baptism.

5
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:27,000
And we ask that you guide us this day with your spirit, through wisdom and in truth.

6
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:33,000
That I ask that you move me behind the cross, that the words of my mouth and the meditations of my heart

7
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:37,000
may come forth and be pleasing unto you.

8
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:44,000
Cover us with the Holy Spirit. Come, Holy Spirit, come, reign and rule and have your way.

9
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:47,000
And in Jesus' name we pray. Amen.

10
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:57,000
Every now and then I get a little joke on the Internet, and last week I had one,

11
00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:06,000
but I left it so I decided this week I'd share one that one of my teenagers from a while back sent me.

12
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:11,000
And it simply says, an elderly woman returned from her home.

13
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:13,000
One evening she had been at church.

14
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:19,000
And she was startled when her door was open because she saw an intruder.

15
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:25,000
And she said to the intruder that was robbing her house, she yelled to him,

16
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:30,000
X, 238, which simply says,

17
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:35,000
repent and be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ so that your sins will be forgiven.

18
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:42,000
Well, with the word of Jesus being spoken, the burglar stopped in his tracks.

19
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:46,000
And the woman calmly called the police, and he arrived really quickly.

20
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:53,000
But he said to the burglar simply, why did you just stand right there?

21
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:56,000
Who were you thinking of?

22
00:01:56,000 --> 00:02:01,000
The old woman, she simply screamed scripture at you.

23
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:09,000
He said, oh no, she didn't. She said, she had an X and two IAs.

24
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:12,000
Don't be ashamed to proclaim the word of God.

25
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:20,000
Even if somebody misunderstands what you're saying, the power of God still is a mighty word of God anyhow.

26
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:22,000
Amen?

27
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:26,000
X, 238.

28
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:29,000
Amen.

29
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:33,000
Just say the word of God and people's lives will be changed.

30
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:38,000
Well, today we're talking about the word of God in a different way.

31
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:43,000
We're basically inviting everyone along the way to know that God is a good God,

32
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:55,000
that God has come into the city on the back of a donkey to proclaim his kingdom and also to be glorified.

33
00:02:55,000 --> 00:03:01,000
So this morning I say to you that simply the title of the sermon is,

34
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:09,000
Proclaim the Name of Jesus, Hosanna in the highest.

35
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:15,000
I want to share with you a reading, and I hope that I've marked it,

36
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:24,000
and it's simply called Upon a Donkey's Back, and it comes from a book that's called Let Justice Roll Down.

37
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:32,000
And some of you who are familiar with donkeys know that donkeys, you need to ride them slow.

38
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:38,000
You need to be patient with them, and they have a mind of their own.

39
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:43,000
But if their mind is made up for Jesus, they'll bring them into the kingdom.

40
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:49,000
And it simply says, Upon a donkey's back, the King of love rode by this morning.

41
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:53,000
There was no turning back whatever they may cry.

42
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:59,000
The prophets dreamed, the promise came, the home they sang comes forth to redeem.

43
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:04,000
The people thronged around him through clothing in the way, and simply said,

44
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:12,000
Hosanna, Hosanna, Lord. They shout and fill palms as he lay.

45
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:20,000
How could they know that he would come, God's only Son, to be raised so low?

46
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:28,000
And to Jerusalem, the face of the power of sin, the child of Bethlehem, the humankind rode in,

47
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:37,000
knowing that the cross he would face soon, that he must take the place for you and for me.

48
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:43,000
Think about it. How easy it would have been for him to turn and run away.

49
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:48,000
How could he, and would he, had said to the people living yet that day,

50
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:53,000
but instead of fleeing, he knew he needed to die.

51
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:58,000
He needed to be crucified so he could rise yet again.

52
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:02,000
Now the Lord is alive today, right here, right now,

53
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:10,000
to remind us that we had dared not to ride alone, but to ride because he cared.

54
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:20,000
So I say to you this morning, let us be helped by the light and the King that rode in on a donkey.

55
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:22,000
Amen.

56
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:29,000
Proclaim Jesus. Proclaim Jesus. Proclaim Jesus.

57
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:37,000
Imagine instead of it being the century that it was, we stand beside the road.

58
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:41,000
Maybe we would stand on both sides of Gulfway Drive.

59
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:48,000
Maybe we would even stand right here on Texas Avenue since this is the great state of Texas.

60
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:58,000
Or maybe if we saw Jesus coming down, this whole community might be converted into Jerusalem.

61
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:03,000
But if you saw him, what would you tell your neighbor?

62
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:10,000
Hey, I think he's the one. I think he's the one they've been talking about.

63
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:15,000
Or maybe since we're disciples for Jesus Christ and the number that we are,

64
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:20,000
we would know who he was and we would simply be prepared to proclaim,

65
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:26,000
Hosanna, Hosanna, blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord.

66
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:35,000
So you see, it is important for us to know that even those who didn't know the Lord were curious.

67
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:44,000
They looked. They peeked. They arrived and said, what's going on?

68
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:51,000
He must be a king because he asked for the donkey to come.

69
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:59,000
But you must be a king because I see people getting the palm and they're waving and proclaiming him.

70
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:09,000
But the scripture says in the book of Mark that was read so diligently by Miss Mitchell,

71
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:14,000
Mark 11, 1 through 3, simply says, when they were approaching Jerusalem,

72
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:20,000
at Bethlehem, Bethany, near the Mount of Olives, he said to of his disciples and said to them,

73
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:24,000
go into the village of Kedemah and immediately as you enter,

74
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:31,000
you will find a cult that has never been written untired and bring it to me.

75
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:38,000
And if anyone says to you, hey, what are you doing over there?

76
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:43,000
Just say to them, excuse me, the Lord needs you.

77
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:47,000
And I'll get it back to you just as soon as he's done.

78
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:55,000
So the important thing about proclaiming Jesus is that Jesus was already aware through God.

79
00:07:55,000 --> 00:08:01,000
Well, you see, there was already a known factor that he would come into Jerusalem,

80
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:08,000
need a donkey, and a donkey that had never been written would be sitting there waiting for him.

81
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:13,000
Have you ever been somewhere and you just see how things just tie together?

82
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:18,000
The person is waiting at the airport already. You didn't even have to call him.

83
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:21,000
Things are already set. Your ride is sitting out of school.

84
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:26,000
You said you would be out there at 3 o'clock. 3 o'clock, the foot is on the door.

85
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:33,000
Everything is set. Things just come together because there is an awareness already planned

86
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:36,000
before you ever came on the scene.

87
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:41,000
For Jesus knew that there would be a great proclamation when he arrived.

88
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:45,000
He also knew that there would be things that needed to be set up.

89
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:47,000
The donkey needed to be in place.

90
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:50,000
He knew that his disciples would encounter some problems,

91
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:53,000
so he told them what to do before he even got there.

92
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:59,000
He said if they give you any problem, tell them the Lord sent you.

93
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:01,000
That's good news.

94
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:06,000
Have you ever been somewhere and you just want to say, excuse me, but the Lord sent you?

95
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:09,000
He said I might encounter a little challenge,

96
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:12,000
but he said just say the Lord sent me.

97
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:20,000
So proclaim the name of Jesus and know that the awareness comes through a gift of God.

98
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:24,000
Then Jesus gave his disciples some instruction.

99
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:27,000
Can you say instruction?

100
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:29,000
You know, people have never been to school,

101
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:33,000
and you arrive in the classroom and the teacher has no instruction

102
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:40,000
because that's a substitute teacher.

103
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:43,000
And sometimes substitute teachers are tougher than the real teachers,

104
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:46,000
so don't play a hater substitute teacher.

105
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:51,000
Because every now and then a substitute teacher knows that if I do well as a substitute,

106
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:56,000
I'll become a long-term son, and then I'll become a long-term teacher,

107
00:09:56,000 --> 00:10:00,000
and then I'll be over your brother in three years from now.

108
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:04,000
So don't ignore substitute teachers.

109
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:08,000
And they'll come in assuming that they don't know

110
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:16,000
because they get instructions to teach just as others get instructions to teach.

111
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:25,000
Or imagine going on a job and the first day you don't have any instructions from your supervisor.

112
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:29,000
Supervisors will simply look at you and say, you know why you got hired?

113
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:33,000
Just do what you do.

114
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:39,000
Some of us would take that as a free ride to just kind of sit down and make a few calls.

115
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:44,000
But obedience unto God says even if there isn't someone telling me like that,

116
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:49,000
there is instruction somewhere that I already know about.

117
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:53,000
And I need to be obedient to the Most High God.

118
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:56,000
Jesus told his disciples that day

119
00:10:56,000 --> 00:11:02,000
that they would encounter someone and if there was a question, just tell them the Lord needs them.

120
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:06,000
Then when they got to the city and they found the call and they untied the call,

121
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:12,000
the person said, hey, what you doing?

122
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:18,000
And they were allowed to take it because they used the instructions that Jesus had given unto them.

123
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:21,000
So the other next point is not only to be aware,

124
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:26,000
but be obedient to the instructions that the Lord gives you through your parents,

125
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:30,000
through your teachers, through your loved ones, through your leaders, through your partners,

126
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:34,000
through your friends, through your relatives, through yourself.

127
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:43,000
And God speaks to each of us and we are asked to acknowledge that God not only prepares us,

128
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:48,000
but He gives us the spirit of understanding.

129
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:53,000
For you can't struggle sometimes one way or the other

130
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:57,000
because maybe something is told to you and you don't understand.

131
00:11:57,000 --> 00:12:03,000
But what happens if you don't understand and you still can't get it and you don't ask anybody,

132
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:06,000
then you're left in a level of misunderstanding.

133
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:11,000
But if God gives you instructions and you don't understand,

134
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:16,000
go back to the one who asked or gave you the instructions so it can be clear

135
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:19,000
because it's important on your spiritual journey.

136
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:24,000
Though you have yet finished confirmation class, your spiritual journey is forever.

137
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:29,000
Your membership into the family of the body of Christ is a forever journey.

138
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:34,000
Though this mission season we repent and we reflect and we look unto the cross

139
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:40,000
for the power of the Holy Spirit and for the understanding of salvation,

140
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:44,000
we have to continue to look.

141
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:47,000
For Jesus gives instructions all the time.

142
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:55,000
And we thank God for His grace and His mercy that endures forever.

143
00:12:55,000 --> 00:13:01,000
During the class yesterday I had a chance to meet with the persons who were joining the church.

144
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:05,000
And we had a great dialogue about who we are in Christ.

145
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:09,000
Then we got into a discussion about grace and our fix of it,

146
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:14,000
how grace is such a grace and blessed gift from the Most High God.

147
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:17,000
But we still have to be willing to receive it.

148
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:20,000
But He gives it to us openly. He gives it to us freely.

149
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:32,000
But we still have to be willing to receive and we receive by hearing and hearing the Word of God.

150
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:35,000
We talked also about gifts.

151
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:42,000
God gives all of us different gifts. And you see during that time when Jesus was talking to His disciples,

152
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:45,000
He only sent two into the city.

153
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:48,000
Ten were still with Him.

154
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:54,000
Maybe the two that He selected, He knew they could follow the directions all the way through.

155
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:59,000
And maybe the other ten that were still left behind, maybe that wasn't their gift.

156
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:07,000
But all given different gifts to walk in the kingdom to be the body of Christ.

157
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:10,000
Proclaim Jesus.

158
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:13,000
Know that He gives us instruction.

159
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:19,000
Know that He calls us into an acknowledgement and awareness that He is God.

160
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:25,000
Then the third thing I'll say, as Jesus went into this process,

161
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:30,000
knowing that this was the Sunday that He would be proclaimed the King,

162
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:33,000
that He would accept this person.

163
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:38,000
And that's why I encourage you to read again the book of Mark

164
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:44,000
and also to go back and read the Psalms 118, 27 through 29

165
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:51,000
to particularly look at that it says unto us that the Lord is God.

166
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:57,000
And He has given us the light that we would line the festival processions with branches

167
00:14:57,000 --> 00:15:05,000
and hold up the altar because we know the will to give thanks unto God.

168
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:08,000
Jesus changed the house of David.

169
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:13,000
Jesus understood His limits. Jesus understood His purpose.

170
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:18,000
But if He never got on the colt, never rode into the city, never was proclaimed,

171
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:27,000
never stood there and allowed Himself to suffer, where would our salvation be?

172
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:32,000
I hate to turn on the video station WIFS, but what's in it for me?

173
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:37,000
What's in it for us? What's in it for salvation?

174
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:44,000
Why is the cross important to each of us, whether we're tiny little babies

175
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:48,000
or whether we're seniors of 101 years old?

176
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:55,000
Because the Lord thy God that we glorify and call Hosanna

177
00:15:55,000 --> 00:16:05,000
took the pain, took the sin, for He was fomless

178
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:12,000
and He accepted the sins of the world not only for that moment, but forever.

179
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:24,000
When you gravitate and hold on to the fact that He died, make it personal.

180
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:30,000
He died for your regular behind, died for my regular behind, died for our craziness,

181
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:37,000
died for our selfishness, died for our sin that we may have lost.

182
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:42,000
I'm going to do that.

183
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:45,000
We should never repeat a crime.

184
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:51,000
I don't care how good you did, how great you did, how awesome.

185
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:55,000
You are to press forward for the glory of the most high God.

186
00:16:55,000 --> 00:17:01,000
You must forward Him to the cross because it's at the cross,

187
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:10,000
at the cross that we can truly proclaim that He has called us to be aware of who He is.

188
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:13,000
He has called us to acknowledge who He is.

189
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:23,000
He has called us to accept His purpose, His purpose in our hearts that we be His children.

190
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:27,000
Why is it important?

191
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:34,000
Psalm 118 reminds us that His steadfast love endures forever.

192
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:39,000
But it is through thanksgiving, it is through praise, it is through proclamation,

193
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:47,000
it is through blessing the name of the most high God that He comes through us and through us

194
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:48,000
through many different angles.

195
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:55,000
We saw, we spent this week in the hospital praying under God that He would save the loved one's life.

196
00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:58,000
Some of us went to school saying, help my children.

197
00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:04,000
Some of us prayed when our children got on an airplane and went to a place they'd never been before

198
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:12,000
that He would send them back safely, renewed and restored and reconciled under Jesus Christ.

199
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:17,000
Some of us went to a job that was tough.

200
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:19,000
Some of us went to the hospital.

201
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:21,000
Some of us went to a plant.

202
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:27,000
Some of us went to a port off an independent school district building that is having a difficult moment

203
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:35,000
and the Lord said, I will use you to be my proclamer.

204
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:37,000
Some of us went to the city.

205
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:43,000
Some of us just went up and down our streets, helped one person here, then another.

206
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:46,000
And some of us just called it dear old friends.

207
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:53,000
But whatever we did, did we proclaim that He is Lord?

208
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:58,000
Did we proclaim the blessings?

209
00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:02,000
Did we journey to the cross?

210
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:08,000
As I began the Lenten season back in the beginning of March

211
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:13,000
and as we were in preparation with the Lenten team and we talked about what the theme would be,

212
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:19,000
we journeyed to the cross with the theme that kept coming up over and over and over.

213
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:22,000
The journey is getting close.

214
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:27,000
The cross is more in our view today than it's ever been before.

215
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:35,000
We could see it right in front of us, but in the meantime we are saying Hosanna, Hosanna.

216
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:39,000
Blessed be the name.

217
00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:42,000
Proclaim God.

218
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:48,000
Know that He sees you and knows you and loves you and forgives you

219
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:57,000
and is waiting right there to just receive you into His arms.

220
00:19:57,000 --> 00:20:05,000
The cross so loved the world that He gave us only because of Him.

221
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:07,000
I love the Lord.

222
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:09,000
I'm glad He heard my cry.

223
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:10,000
I love each of Jesus.

224
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:16,000
I love the journey because it's through this period that we begin to understand over and over and over

225
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:20,000
just how awesome God is.

226
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:22,000
Complements.

227
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:25,000
I didn't understand how awesome He was at 12.

228
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:28,000
I'm just saying God that He didn't let go of me in my foolishness.

229
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:33,000
I thank God that through my 40 He looked in the left and looked to the right and said,

230
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:38,000
I will still hold on to it even if He's trying to run hard.

231
00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:44,000
I thank God that when my Sunday school teacher would ask my mother how that girl was doing,

232
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:49,000
that my mother didn't lie.

233
00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:54,000
She says she still needs prayer.

234
00:20:54,000 --> 00:21:02,000
I'm glad that our teachers and our Sunday school directors and our choir directors

235
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:11,000
and our extra mamas and extra daddies didn't stop looking after us and give us a little reminder.

236
00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:22,000
Girl, fella, young man, hey you, whatever they call you, God still loves you.

237
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:26,000
Inspire who we are.

238
00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:29,000
But today is a new day.

239
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:33,000
God has deposited truth in you right now.

240
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:36,000
It's being scared of.

241
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:40,000
You're going to be a little new tomorrow when you go to school.

242
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:42,000
Yeah, y'all are still talking to one another.

243
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:43,000
Y'all are still kid-cared.

244
00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:45,000
Y'all are still calling one another.

245
00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:48,000
But maybe you won't call yourself out of your name.

246
00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:50,000
Maybe you won't talk, Lord.

247
00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:53,000
Maybe you won't call nobody something that shouldn't be called

248
00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:58,000
because the guidance and the love of Jesus Christ was hooked out of under your skin.

249
00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:02,000
This is a new life.

250
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:09,000
I'm a thorough best-seller for you.

251
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:14,000
His death-ass love endures forever.

252
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:20,000
So I say to you this morning, if your relationship with Jesus Christ needs a little tweaking,

253
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:24,000
His death-ass love endures forever.

254
00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:29,000
If your situation on the job needs a little adjusting, go on in your prayer closet

255
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:32,000
because His death-ass love endures forever.

256
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:38,000
If you need a little help here, there, and everywhere, with the marriage, the kids, the cats, the dogs, the house,

257
00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:44,000
the children, people, whatever it is, His death-ass love endures forever.

258
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:49,000
If somebody's on a sickbed and you just say, I'm not sure about that miracle,

259
00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:53,000
I don't know what to say to them, I don't say the same thing that woman said,

260
00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:55,000
I say to you talk to the Lord.

261
00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:58,000
Proclaim.

262
00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:01,000
Here's the Lord, my God.

263
00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:05,000
For Christ is windy, proclaim Him.

264
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:07,000
You can feel it.

265
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:09,000
It's like the earth moves.

266
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:12,000
I don't care whether you've been on a roller coaster.

267
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:15,000
It's still like the earth moves.

268
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:19,000
It's like something I can't even describe.

269
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:25,000
God say to you this morning, what a mighty God we say.

270
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:28,000
He's awesome.

271
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:31,000
Continue to proclaim Him.

272
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:33,000
Journey to the cross.

273
00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:37,000
Know that He suffered for you and for me and for everything that's going on.

274
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:39,000
He knew it before today.

275
00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:44,000
He proclaimed it before now, and He professed that He is our King.

276
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:46,000
And I'll take Him at His word.

277
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:53,000
I'll look at the situation and say, I'll take Him at His word.

278
00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:56,000
Maybe you can be quiet.

279
00:23:56,000 --> 00:24:01,000
Maybe your life is totally calm and nothing is going on.

280
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:07,000
But I say to you this morning, I proclaim the Most High God.

281
00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:08,000
I proclaim the Master King.

282
00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:10,000
He is my Jesus.

283
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:11,000
He is my Lord.

284
00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:12,000
He is my salvation.

285
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:16,000
He is my all and all.

286
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:21,000
If I could say it so and I'd tell you about it, but I'll tell you like another person before.

287
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:24,000
He is my King.

288
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:26,000
Hosanna.

289
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:28,000
Hosanna.

290
00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:29,000
Hosanna.

291
00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:31,000
The doors of the church are open.

292
00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:37,000
If you need a place to walk out for soul salvation, this is a good house.

293
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:43,000
If you've already gone and you haven't committed yourself to ministry, this is a good place.

294
00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:51,000
If you don't know Him, then deliver of your sins, the death of your soul, the King of all.

295
00:24:51,000 --> 00:25:07,000
Hosanna.
