1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:08,000
Gracious and loving God, it's been an awesome day. We have felt your presence from the very beginning.

2
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:16,000
But Lord, we thank you for the holy spirit that you have sent. We thank you God for sending even more as the word comes forth.

3
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:25,000
Move me behind the cross that the words of my mouth will be pleasing unto you and that it will put our hearts and our minds and our souls

4
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:33,000
that we may be transformed from this point forward. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.

5
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:42,000
Class of 68, I want to catch you up a little bit from last week because this sermon is the second in a series.

6
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:48,000
Last week I didn't know it was a series, but God put it on my heart and made it a series. Amen.

7
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:53,000
So I don't want you to be behind the time, so I'm just going to catch you up a bit.

8
00:00:53,000 --> 00:01:02,000
The last of this series will be preached on the fourth Sunday in this month, and it will simply help us to come together to know one thing.

9
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:11,000
And the sermon series is simply how to get to know God. Last week we talked about are you hungry yet?

10
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:15,000
That Jesus is the bread of life and that's what we're going to focus on this morning.

11
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:24,000
But yesterday's journey and last week's situation help us to know that God is with us all the time. Amen.

12
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:29,000
I don't know what went on in your life yesterday. I don't even know what went on in everybody's situation.

13
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:36,000
But the world faced some things this week when there was a bomb plot. But guess what?

14
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:45,000
There are bomb plots all over the world. There are areas where Satan wants to destroy the joy of the Lord.

15
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:51,000
And it is up to us to remember that we are seeking the bread of life.

16
00:01:51,000 --> 00:02:00,000
So the sermon last week simply asked questions about what it means to know what it means to be hungry.

17
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:08,000
Not hungry for any food, but hungry for manna from heaven. Food. Spiritual food.

18
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:17,000
We ask are you hungry enough to get forgiveness? Are you hungry enough to stop blocking your blessings and confess unto God?

19
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:27,000
Are you hungry enough to want to eat together with one another? You know those cousins from the family reunion?

20
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:32,000
A woman when I was away shared a story about two different groups of people.

21
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:40,000
Both groups of people were truly hungry. And they both sat in these rooms with these great big bowls and these great big spoons.

22
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:46,000
But one room was starving to death and one room kept saying, oh that's really good.

23
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:53,000
Same number of people, same big bowl of soup, same spoons.

24
00:02:53,000 --> 00:03:02,000
But what was the difference? One had learned to feed each other. And the other said, you ain't going to get my spoon.

25
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:11,000
So we have to ask are you hungry enough to unify, to serve one another, to love one another, to care for one another?

26
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:17,000
And if you are, then you're ready to have everlasting life.

27
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:30,000
Because if you can confess unto God and seek God and receive the food that is not perishable but everlasting, you can connect with Jesus Christ.

28
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:37,000
So with that in mind, the question today is do you know who I am in?

29
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:48,000
Tell it to your neighbor, do you know who I am in? And I know there's somebody who's an English teacher right now that says teacher statement.

30
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:55,000
Oh my goodness gracious. Oh no, it's not one of those regular English teacher question statements.

31
00:03:55,000 --> 00:04:05,000
And don't write that on the paper like that. But the great I am is the I am of all I am.

32
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:15,000
And there's no other way to put it because when you see all the I am statements in the book of John, you just have to step back and say,

33
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:25,000
mmm, mmm, mmm, ain't the great I am good? Isn't he awesome?

34
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:33,000
Some of us say well, the great I am knows me and that's all I need to do.

35
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:43,000
But my question in part two of getting to know Jesus is do you know the great I am?

36
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:51,000
Not just any I am but the great I am. The I am who is the good shepherd.

37
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:57,000
The I am who is the bread of life. The I am who is the light of the world.

38
00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:06,000
The I am who is the resurrection, the way, the truth, and the light. The I am who died on Calvary, loathed for our sins.

39
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:12,000
The I am who breathes breath into us every day.

40
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:21,000
I've often said to people try holding your breath and see if you can keep yourself alive.

41
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:31,000
And if you can't, you have to realize the breath of life comes from somewhere that's not within you.

42
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:40,000
Do you know the great I am? The bright and morning star, the lily of the valley.

43
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:50,000
Turn to your neighbor and say neighbor, do you know the great I am?

44
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:55,000
Some of them, some of your neighbors not going to answer you.

45
00:05:55,000 --> 00:06:03,000
You have the audacity to ask me do I know the great I am. I'm in the house of God. I know Jesus Christ as my personal savior.

46
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:08,000
What do you mean you want to know do I know the great I am?

47
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:14,000
Some question that pastor had a nerd ask me.

48
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:22,000
The question is since we know him, do we live like we know him? Do we believe like we know him?

49
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:29,000
Oh yeah, you're told of our fucking locality, I'm listening. Because the grace of God moves upon each of us.

50
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:35,000
But we have to be willing to walk in our fucking transform.

51
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:42,000
And that's what the great I am does when you get to know him.

52
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:52,000
But you see, knowing Jesus Christ means that you learn to seek the truth.

53
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:58,000
And let it penetrate by faith into your whole body.

54
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:06,000
Every aspect of your life is impacted and touched by knowing God.

55
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:12,000
Oh yeah, knowing God takes time. But he knows everything about us.

56
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:16,000
He knows how many checks that we have done.

57
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:23,000
That he has forgiven us because the bank has given us an opportunity to do something different.

58
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:29,000
He knows every situation when we went to sleep on a test.

59
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:36,000
All right, nice and big day. Some of y'all went to sleep on a test.

60
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:42,000
And a teacher gave you grace and said, I'm going to give you a break unless you take a test again.

61
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:47,000
You know they did. Because they knew your mama, they knew your daddy.

62
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:50,000
It was off the street. They worked with one another.

63
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:55,000
Now look here, girl. Don't let me bring you in the office tomorrow.

64
00:07:55,000 --> 00:08:00,000
I promise you the truth.

65
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:02,000
But you see, that's how the Jews were.

66
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:08,000
The Jews were trying to figure out how this great guy named Jesus Christ, who was the son of Lordy and Joseph,

67
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:15,000
could be who they said he was, coming down from heaven.

68
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:18,000
That's that boy off the street.

69
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:22,000
You can't be talking about that, Miss Peter.

70
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:26,000
That's not the one he's talking about. It's the bread of life.

71
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:32,000
You confuse him. He's a carpenter.

72
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:37,000
God even lets us know there's multitasking way back there.

73
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:43,000
You may have a job on the front, but the calling on your life is bigger than your job.

74
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:49,000
So the other part of this is when you get to know the great guy, you don't get hung up on what to do for a living.

75
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:52,000
You get hung up on what you do for life.

76
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:57,000
Do you live or not to love Jesus Christ every day through all situations?

77
00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:02,000
And all situations have to be looked at.

78
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:07,000
God is not a conditional God.

79
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:11,000
The great I Am loves you every day, every hour.

80
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:15,000
Anyway, do it all.

81
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:20,000
When you look back and wonder how you got over, when you look back and wonder how you was today,

82
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:24,000
when you look back to 1968 and say, who kept you?

83
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:29,000
You've got to say it was the great I Am.

84
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:38,000
Whether he kept you yesterday, last week, 52 years, 99 years, 102 years,

85
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:42,000
or by how long he has kept you.

86
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:50,000
He is the difference between having any life and having a great life.

87
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:55,000
Any life won't do when you are part of the I Am crew.

88
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:58,000
You want the life to be brought by Jesus Christ.

89
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:01,000
You want the one that will make you get up in the morning and say,

90
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:04,000
Holy Moose, it is Jesus.

91
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:06,000
I'm glad to be a wasted soul.

92
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:10,000
I don't care what the world has to say about me.

93
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:17,000
I'm just glad to be in the house of the Lord looking for Jesus.

94
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:23,000
That was the commercial for the great I Am.

95
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:27,000
We have to be willing to embrace forgiveness.

96
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:29,000
Not just any kind of forgiveness.

97
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:31,000
Show no stop down.

98
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:36,000
Call all the people who are on the short list, you're lonely.

99
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:39,000
And clear the slate.

100
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:45,000
If there is anything in between any of us, God forgive us.

101
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:50,000
Call upon the love of Jesus Christ to do something new.

102
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:53,000
Y'all, it's your 38th anniversary.

103
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:57,000
Some of us are getting ready to celebrate many different anniversaries in our lives.

104
00:10:57,000 --> 00:11:01,000
But it's interesting, 38 is true before 40.

105
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:05,000
And when you get to be 40, something happens.

106
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:08,000
Y'all have happened to reach 40 years in your life.

107
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:11,000
But you get ready to reach 40 years out of high school.

108
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:15,000
So that means you get ready to go into a new season.

109
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:18,000
Nothing used to bother you, you looked at it and said,

110
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:20,000
Ah, you won't get my joy.

111
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:22,000
You won't get my situation.

112
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:24,000
You won't raise a hay on my head.

113
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:27,000
Because you don't like that no more.

114
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:29,000
I already settled it.

115
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:33,000
And I'm happy about it.

116
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:36,000
We began to imitate.

117
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:40,000
Like the Ephesian pastor said, you need to imitate.

118
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:42,000
And be Christ like.

119
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:45,000
We ain't trying to be like Mike.

120
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:47,000
We ain't trying to shoot five hoops.

121
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:51,000
We ain't trying to be what we used to be yesterday around the corner.

122
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:54,000
Because the truth be told.

123
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:56,000
What we look like now, we didn't look like this.

124
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:59,000
We didn't make our hair and wash up our hands so quick.

125
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:02,000
We didn't make our bodies and feet begin like this.

126
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:04,000
Because the truth be told.

127
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:07,000
That we still got an hourglass figure.

128
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:09,000
We just added a few minutes to it.

129
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:13,000
But God is still with us.

130
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:15,000
Oh yes he is.

131
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:20,000
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah he is.

132
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:26,000
God may change things, but our hearts keep working on being a heart regulator.

133
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:30,000
Somebody needs to judge at a pace, make eye out to my face.

134
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:34,000
Do you think they can put the right speed on it?

135
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:37,000
This sister can walk faster than anybody,

136
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:40,000
drive a better than anybody, play.

137
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:44,000
And she just, she moves.

138
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:52,000
And she'll tell you quick, I'm 80 something years young, yada yada yada yada.

139
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:57,000
But she allowed God to change her a long time ago.

140
00:12:57,000 --> 00:13:02,000
You've been set free, you are free indeed.

141
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:08,000
Are you hungry enough to get to know God?

142
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:19,000
To receive the man of heaven that will give you eternal life.

143
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:21,000
Nobody's perfect.

144
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:25,000
We are all in process.

145
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:29,000
Every day is a chance for new mercy.

146
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:36,000
I know some of you are saying if she only knew what the doctor had told me,

147
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:41,000
that I just can't seem to do yet.

148
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:43,000
I'm going to get to it next week.

149
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:46,000
Don't worry about what the doctor told you.

150
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:48,000
And say I know what he told you.

151
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:51,000
I have to be concerned about what the doctor has told me.

152
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:56,000
But more importantly I have to hear with Jesus Christ.

153
00:13:56,000 --> 00:14:01,000
We all got to have a moment where we're getting old.

154
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:05,000
Obedience is better than acceptance.

155
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:08,000
And it's good to know that God knows you.

156
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:13,000
But it's greater to know that you know who he is in you.

157
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:20,000
Because he has a preferred Christ-like vision for our lives.

158
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:23,000
I want you to think about these things.

159
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:26,000
Jesus told us to do two things.

160
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:32,000
To become baptized so that we would be adopted into the body of Christ.

161
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:38,000
Take and eat of the bread and light.

162
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:42,000
And worship.

163
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:49,000
Not just to know him, but to remember him, to embrace him, to feel him in our spirit.

164
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:57,000
Because without him we cannot be transformed.

165
00:14:57,000 --> 00:15:02,000
There used to be a little jingle, transformers more than we thought.

166
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:04,000
That was after 68.

167
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:09,000
That's probably the kids' stuff that everybody says.

168
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:11,000
But I know you know.

169
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:16,000
The attitude about transformation is we've got to confess unto God.

170
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:20,000
We've got to be willing to allow God to renew and restore our lives.

171
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:23,000
We've got to be willing to get together to unify.

172
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:26,000
We can't be all on these separate little islands.

173
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:28,000
I got this. We got that.

174
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:29,000
We got that.

175
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:32,000
Come together as one body, one baptism.

176
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:41,000
Because if we believe more things together, then what's the separate doctrine of this and that and the other?

177
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:43,000
You put together this to ask me.

178
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:48,000
Talk about what you really, really, really believe about Jesus Christ.

179
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:53,000
And you find that you have more in common than you don't.

180
00:15:53,000 --> 00:16:02,000
I want to share with you a little statement that comes out of the discipline of the United Methodist Church.

181
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:07,000
And it just talks about we believe that sacraments are ordained by Christ.

182
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:14,000
Are symbols and pledges for the Christian profession of God's love towards us.

183
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:23,000
They are a means of grace by which God works invisibly in us.

184
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:30,000
Quickened, strengthened, and confirming our faith unto Him.

185
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:37,000
The common ground is Jesus Christ.

186
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:43,000
Embrace that in your relationship with one another.

187
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:48,000
Take the time to get things straight.

188
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:54,000
Somebody ought not walk in a room and every time they walk in, your skin flinges.

189
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:58,000
And you say, oh, yeah, I forgave them. I really did.

190
00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:05,000
I forgave them ten years ago, but it's not my bad when they come in the room.

191
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:08,000
They bend over it.

192
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:14,000
And you feel old and old to the old and I'll be just holding on.

193
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:19,000
And they don't even know why you're hot with them.

194
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:24,000
By the grace of God, our discipleship to Jesus Christ

195
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:36,000
calls us into an orderly relationship that's about love, mercy, grace, forgiveness.

196
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:44,000
And I'm going to step on somebody's toes because I'm going to step on my own.

197
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:50,000
We say we forget when we hold into the little thing in the pocketbook.

198
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:54,000
Today let it be the last day of the year.

199
00:17:54,000 --> 00:18:04,000
You know in 1956 you fell out with the 1960s? It's over.

200
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:09,000
And for all the other people wherever you fell out with, near 1, 2, 5, 7, 1906,

201
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:15,000
this is all year 2008, full hour is over.

202
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:20,000
In the name of Jesus, God is giving us new mercy each day

203
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:28,000
and we missing it, holding on to last year's drama.

204
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:37,000
He gives us newness and we not taking it for what it was.

205
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:41,000
The girl or the guy you was dating back then, they done married,

206
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:47,000
you done divorced them, it's over.

207
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:52,000
You all not doing no more basketball, anyhow.

208
00:18:52,000 --> 00:19:01,000
So what they got the last day in stock.

209
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:06,000
Lastly, in knowing Jesus and becoming more Christlike,

210
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:17,000
read the passage, the other passage in the lectionary, Ephesians 4, 25,

211
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:21,000
and read it all the way up to 5, verse 2.

212
00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:24,000
I'm just going to give you the opening line.

213
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:31,000
So then putting away falsehood, let all of us speak the truth to our neighbors,

214
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:38,000
for we are members of one body, be angry but do not sin.

215
00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:41,000
Do not let the sun go down on your anger.

216
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:43,000
I'm going to stop right there.

217
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:47,000
For all of you who used to say, good momma was making that up,

218
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:52,000
that's where it's from, Ephesians 4, verse 26.

219
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:58,000
You always wanted to know where that was, there it is, in black and white.

220
00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:01,000
Do not make room for the devil.

221
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:08,000
These must give up stealing, rather let them labor and work honestly

222
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:15,000
with their hands so as to have to share something with the needy.

223
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:19,000
And then it goes on to talk about all the things you ought to put away.

224
00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:26,000
But I want to close simply with what it says, put on.

225
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:32,000
Verse 5 wants us therefore be imitators of God.

226
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:38,000
And live in love as Christ loved you and gave himself up for us,

227
00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:43,000
a fragrant offering and a sacrifice unto God.

228
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:51,000
If we are to know God, we have to understand what he gave up for each of us.

229
00:20:51,000 --> 00:21:00,000
Jesus Christ is the Son of God, both divine and both human.

230
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:08,000
Live in self the pain of being in a human vibe.

231
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:17,000
But follow through the scripture instead that he would die for our sins.

232
00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:28,000
We are atoned and given the opportunity for newness because we get to know him.

233
00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:31,000
He already knows.

234
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:39,000
If you want to get to know him, if you want to know the bread of life,

235
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:44,000
the shepherd of all shepherds, the bright and morning star,

236
00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:52,000
the newness that is given unto you each day, stop hating.

237
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:55,000
Stop loving.

238
00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:59,000
Know for the grace is awesome.

239
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:03,000
His mercy is like none other.

240
00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:08,000
And if you're not walking out your soul's salvation somewhere,

241
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:11,000
this is a good place to walk it out.

242
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:14,000
For life is great when you live it.

243
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:18,000
It's even better when you live it Christ's life.

244
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:24,000
Life is awesome when you live it, but it's better when it honors Jesus Christ.

245
00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:29,000
If you're hungry enough to eat, you won't hunger anymore

246
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:33,000
because you will have eaten from the bread of life.

247
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:40,000
Let your change in your spirit, in your soul, in your attitude begin today.

248
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:50,000
Allow your head and your heart to be guided through with love by Jesus Christ.

249
00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:58,000
May the great I Am be known to you this day a little bit more.

250
00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:01,000
Are you hungry enough to get to know him?

251
00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:08,000
Or are you even hungry enough to let it go forth and be a blessing unto others?

252
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:10,000
The doors of the church are open.

253
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:14,000
Where you stand?

254
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:20,000
And think, let God take my name.

255
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:25,000
If you're contemplating and thinking about your relationship with Jesus Christ

256
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:29,000
and you're not sure that you know about his honor and love,

257
00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:31,000
his awesome and awesome,

258
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:38,000
let God take my name.
