thank god amen come on somebody clap your hands and give god thank you lord i want to thank god for sister carolyn amen she has done such a phenomenal job with getting here and i thank the lord for her let's go to the gospel as recorded by mark chapter number five it's all right free from this word with this wind blowing but the lord is still good amen amen mark chapter 5 i want to begin in verse 21 down through 24. is that all right let me do an express and go from 35 all right here we go and the word of the lord reads and when jesus was passed over again by ship unto the other side much people gathered unto him and he was not unto the sea and behold there cometh one of the rulers of the synagogue jairus by name and when he saw him he fell at his feet and besought him greatly saying my little daughter lieth at the point of death i pray thee come and lay their hands on her that she may be healed and she shall live and jesus went with him and much people followed him and thronged him let's go down to verse 35 shall we while he yet spake there came from the ruler of the synagogue's house a certain which said thy daughter is dead why trouble is thou the master any further as soon as jesus heard the word that was spoken he said unto the ruler of the synagogue be not afraid only believe uh-huh and he suffered no man to follow him saith peter and james and john the brother of james and he cometh to the house of the rule of the synagogue and seeth the tumult and them that wept and walked greatly and when he was come in he said unto them why make ye this ado and weep the damsel is not dead but sleepless and they laughed him to score but when he had put them all out let me say that again when he had put them all out he'd taken the father and the mother of the damsel and them that were with him and entereth in where the damsel was lying and he took the damsel by the hand and said unto her talithakumi which is being interpreted damsel i say unto thee arise and straightway the damns of the rose and walked for she was of the age of 12 years and they were astonished with a great astonishment and he charged them straightly that no man should know it and commanded that something should be given her to eat amen in verse 36 the c cause of it jesus says be not afraid only believe amen today i want to talk about as you have your seats in the presence of the lord i just want to reason with you to consider this thought when faith conquers fears i want to talk about when faith conquers fears somebody shout out faith faith now somebody shout out fear fear is an unpleasant feeling by the perception of danger whether it be real or imagined or whether that danger is physical or psychological when we look at faith faith is complete trust or confidence in someone or something faith is a strong belief in god or in the doctrine of a religion or based on a spiritual apprehension rather than physical proof fear f-e-a-r false evidence that appears real let me say that again fear f-e-a-r false evidence that appears real the enemy the enemy's job is to present an illusion before you to make you think that the darkness that you're encountering is really real but then faith steps in and reminds you that what the enemy tries to portray of what could be faith reminds you of the reality of what god brought you out of in the past i wish i had a witness that just caught that and and he reminds you that if god did it in the past certainly god is still able to do it in the present do i have a witness here that the enemy the enemy works out psychologically fear is what holds us back from walking into the destiny that god has prepared for our lives fear is what holds us back from going back to school saying i i'm too old for this i i can't comprehend this new stuff and and this modern technology fear holds us back from stepping out on faith and trusting god and and fear tries to discount what god has already promised us in his word he would do the enemy works psychologically he's you see he he talks to your mind he gets in your thoughts he tries to make you doubt god's word and how many of you know that whatever god promised he's already know that he gonna perform it if god said it surely it's gonna come to pass fear can i just say this fear does not come from god somebody want to shout off repeat that with me fear does not come from god how do you know that paul the apostle reminds us as he writes his second letter to his son in the gospel of timothy uh ii timothy chapter number one and seven paul writes these words for god has not given us the spirit of fear it's the bible it's the bible but of power and of love and of a sound mind i wish i had one bible reader here he said god didn't god ain't no fear but god works through faith and i'm here to let you know that you are sitting here today through throughout a pandemic because somebody had some faith somebody had to trust god to even see what was going on all around us to believe that although death is all around me although a thousand are falling at my right and maybe ten thousand at my right hand faith reminds me that it shall not come not my dwelling somebody is still here today because you had faith to believe that if you let the blood cover your doorposts come on talk to me somebody that the deaf angel was going to pass over and god was going to be gracious and here we are 20 months later the deaf angel is still carrying folk but he's still letting god is still letting the angel pass by your house because somebody understands that the blood covers my house anybody got the blood covering your house anybody glad that god is protecting your house while you're here at church because the god we serve is everywhere at the same time what are you saying i told god come with me while i leave my house in brooklyn god has protected my house in brooklyn while i was traveling on amtrak he was with me and he was waiting for me at the hotel when i got in dc all at the same time somebody talk to me if he can so so so because faith faith puts us in a place that no matter what we physically see we trust god beyond what is not seen we are reminded we are reminded uh as christians that it is faith that we need to make it successfully on this christian journey we need faith to help us to operate uh from day to day it is one thing to say you have faith but then god will allow i said he will allow a challenge to arise in your life where you have to put your faith where your mouth is oh i trust god i trust him okay you trust him let's see if you trust god after you get this last report from your doctor that's not so good promising i'm i'm transparent i'll share this about three weeks ago my mother was diagnosed with lung cancer they uh saw two spots and alum we're sitting in the doctor's office listening and looking at what appears to be on this screen what appears to be on this x-ray and fear is saying in this here here we go again you went through this with your grandmama back in 96 this is what fear is saying and we're hearing what the doctor's saying what they think they might need to do speculating but i heard fear one here but then i heard my mama the voice of god through my mama looking at me and say get it together she says what we hear is not a death sentence for me because if we gonna trust god like we say we're gonna do it we're gonna trust him all the way and i just wanna encourage somebody to say if you're going to trust god let me tell you god's going to put you to the test if you say i trust i was singing i i will trust and it don't mean nothing if you don't go through nothing because the bible lets us know that they overcome by the blood of the lamb and by the word of their testimony you cannot be an overcomer or conquer what you're going through if you never have a test to bring you out with a victorious testimony do i have a witness here so faith faith faith helps us to to be who we need to be in god can i help you with something if you if you want to know the key to pleasing god hebrews let us know that without faith i wish i had somebody else who knew the bible it is impossible to please him faith is the substance of things to hope for it is the evidence of things not seen here here in this text mr kehi we find where faith and fear meet in the same area they come together and they meet at a halt they they come and they get in the boxing ring face to face faith the heavyweight champion but fear is the devilish contender so they get in this ring and then we find that this text talks about how jesus comes off of a ship after getting some rest when he enters off of the ship the bible says that jesus there is a crowd that throngs him how many of you know by reading the word that everywhere jesus went there was always a crowd now listen everybody in that crowd didn't follow jesus for the same reason some came because they wanted to hear the word of god some followed him because they wanted to mark down his every move some followed him because they wanted to know what the kingdom was all about different people followed him for different reasons just like everybody don't come to church for the same reason some people come to church because you ain't got nothing else to do on a sunday some people come to church because you feel like a fish out of water if you ain't in church my mama was here my daddy was on the deacon boy and i'm i'mma be a deacon too and some people come to church because it stays sunday to usher so he ain't talking about me can i come down your street some people come because they want to see who's preaching talk to me if you can some people come because they can't rule their own house so they want to come and throw their weight around in the church if you can't say amen say ouch but then there's another group of people that come because you'll come here because you realize the word says that we shouldn't forsake the assembling of ourselves and then some people come here because you need a word from the lord some people have been through hell all week long and is there anybody here that said if i could just make it to hear the word of god if i could just hear a song that'll get me through the week if i could just get around some of the saints that'll pray me through i believe that i can make it a little while longer somebody came here because you know you owe god a praise somebody came here because you come to the point in your life that if it had not been for the lord who was on your side somebody gonna talk to me here so people follow jesus for different reasons yeah so as jesus gets off the ship the bible says that his father presents an opportunity for his glory to be majestic to be magnified god now presents an opportunity where somebody's faith can be placed into practice god now presents an opportunity where there is a young ruler in the synagogue by the name of jairus jairus had it going on yeah jairus was a big wig jairus could pull some weight in the church jairus was one of those that they consulted about everything when they wanted to make some major decisions in the church jairus was the one that they consulted when they needed some money to handle some stuff in the church but the bible said that that he was a man of substance thank you so much he was a man of substance they consulted jairus but how many of you know that i don't care how much money you have how much prestige you have how much education you have everything that you have cannot help you to escape when certain things come in your life the bible says that although jairus was influential he did not have enough power to keep sickness from entering his household he did not have enough power to keep sickness from striking his daughter where she was at the point where she lived to the point of death but what i like about jairus is and this will help you point number one here when challenges arise in your life don't try to handle it on your own the text here says that jairus did not try to handle it on his own but he went to get jesus can i help somebody that that when that next challenge comes in your life don't think you superman don't play like you superwoman and try to be strong for everybody else you know forget about what other people think you got to get to the point you say father i stretch my hand to thee father i need this is me oh lord i'm standing in the need of prayer jairus went to get jesus and when he went to got him he went to get him the bible says that he humbled himself because his posture showed his humility the bible says that jairus fell down at jesus's feet and said master my daughter is at home and she lieth at the point of death but i believe if you come home and go home with me and if you just lay your hand on her that she shall live and not die can i help you with number two after you go seeking jesus you need to invite jesus into your situation some of us can't get a resolution because we have not invited jesus into our houses some of us got so much hell going on in our houses because we have not invited jesus to say lord come on in and straighten this out we try to be superman and superwoman things arise in the church stop trying to get amongst yourself and say let's have a talk with you lord come on in and have your way so first of all seek jesus secondly invite him to your house the bible says that he had enough faith to go and get jesus and invite him to this house while jesus and jairus are walking together to jairus's house the bible says that the crowd was so thick but in the midst of him going to work on one situation he encounters another situation in the midst of it between we step it but between the express between verse 25 and 34 we read about a woman with an issue of blood while jesus is on his way to work a miracle at jairus's house here's a woman with an issue of blood that needed a miracle from the lord and the bible says that she said in her heart she had enough faith to believe dr baxter that if i could just get to jesus with this crowd i might not be able to see him face to face but if i could just get to him some kind of way even if i don't touch him if i could touch something that's connected to him y'all don't miss that because the bible says that she didn't touch him but she reached out and touched the hem of his garment and how many of you know that whatever's connected to jesus got to have some kind of power in it too i want to know is there anybody here today that's connected to jesus because somebody may come in your life that can't get to jesus but jesus will use you as the hymn of his garment to be connected to him where somebody will connect with you that you can connect them to jesus so the bible says that she reached out and touched the hem of his garment and the issue she had in her blood it had her bent over from 12 years and she immediately straightway got up and the bible says that when she touched him jesus said wait a minute somebody touched me and all the disciples around him now come on jesus all these people around here and they pressed on us like we on the metro during rush hour and you're going to see somebody touch you well yeah somebody going to touch you jesus look at all these he said no there was something different about this touch because when i felt this touch i felt virtue leave out of me and can i help you with something if you really make connection and touch jesus or touch what's connected to jesus whatever's inside of jesus or to leave out of him and come up all in here somebody needs some power jesus got power if you touch him he'll give you power if you touch him he'll give you love if you touch him he'll give you strength is there anybody here that was weak one time but you reached out and the strength that was in jesus he transferred it into you so god help me here the bible says that he said your faith has made you whole notice while they're on their way to jairus house jairus watches all of this and what i love about this is that jesus was still in motion he didn't have to stop what he was doing to tend to her that means you know shirley caesar and i love sheldon she's one of my favorite artists but she made this song you next in line for a miracle shelley i beg to differ i'll respect you but jesus do this text tells me i ain't got to wait in line because he got the power to deal with all of us at the same time while i got an issue in brooklyn he could work on dr baxter's issue at his house he could work on brian k he's issue at his house he can work on your issue at your house and you only got to take a number and say hold next he could do it all at the same time somebody ought to praise him for being able to work it out all at the same time so he's walking i said come on let's let's make this trip while they are walking here come the devil at work while they're walking to the house he sees a messenger running from the house what here's the devil jesus is saying come on let's go to the house the messenger says jairus listen i've been running from your house to tell you and isn't it something how people get in a hurry to bring you bad news you got to watch out for folk that always want to be the first one to be the prophet of doom always be the first one to call you with some mess always be the first one to call you with some foolishness you got to understand why why folk always want to bring you garbage always want to bring you negativity my grandmother used to tell me if you don't wear a sanitation uniform nobody will bring you their garbage [Music] talk to me if you can you can't be open to receive what everybody brings you you got to know how to go to the buffet and leave at the buffet what don't agree with your system as you can see i ain't left too much at the buffet i'm gonna hear somebody somebody talk to me if you can y'all laughing but something some of y'all ain't left too much at the buffet either all your proud buffet folk come on raise your hand raise your hand so now jesus is is walking with gyrus and here this messenger the devil's using this messenger to put fear in his heart jairus there's no need to trouble the master ain't no need to bring him to the house your daughter is dead fear and this side saying she's dead but faith through jesus is on this side saying only believe be not afraid jesus is saying she's sleeping the messenger says she's dead jesus says she's asleep fear says she's dead faith says she's asleep somebody lying and it ain't jesus let me say that again somebody in this text is lying and it ain't jesus the devil is the father of eyes the first word he spoke out of his mouth in the garden was a lie you can't believe nothing the devil said so here it is jesus is saying only believe now you didn't ask you that had enough faith to ask me to come to your house you know i had enough faith they asked me to come to lay my hand on ain't no sense and dropping the ball halfway through the game now if we gonna go we gonna go all the way and i want to encourage somebody that you might hit a bump in the road along the way but might i encourage you to don't stop at the ball but hurdle over the bomb and keep on riding with jesus because let me tell you what he had he didn't realize he was walking with jesus it would have been different if he got that news by himself but jesus was standing right by his side oh that just went over somebody head right there he felt the darkest moment hearing that his daughter was dead but jesus was standing with him jesus was walking with him and not only was jesus walking with him but jesus was talking with him and i don't care what you go through as long as you got jesus walking with you as long as you got jesus talking with you and he walks with me and he talks with me and he tells me that i am his own no matter what i'm going through as long as i got jesus by my side i believe that i'll get over this hurdle first of all the man the man he had the one walking by him that turned water into wine he had the one walking with him that walked on the water he had the one that was walking with him to ride on the water and then stand up on the top of the boat and said peace be still and calm the storm from reaching jairus had the man that was walking with him to walk by his side to say that no weapon formed against you shall prosper first of all jairus had not only ah jesus who was in the flesh but he had jesus who was almighty god walking with him not only was jesus 100 flesh but jesus was 100 god he was 100 flesh because he got he got weary and cried at the grave of his friend lazarus but he was a hundred percent god because he went to that same grave as the resurrection and the life and said lazarus come forth and lazarus got out the grave jairus had the resurrection walking next to him he had faith walking next to him and the bible lets us know that faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the word of god well jobs didn't realize the word of god was walking next to him okay let me let me help you with things i said you didn't realize that the word was made flesh but the word was walking next to him what you're saying preaching all right what the preacher said what you got to testify about it john john said in john 1 1 in the beginning was the word and the word was with god and the word was god and so when you see jesus you see the father and when you see the father you've seen jesus he said i and my father am one he said but in the beginning was the word and if the word was with god and the word was god then jesus had to be the word and the word cannot lie he said i am the resurrection and i am the life he that believeth in me though he was dead yet shall he live so he said come on let's go so they keep walking everybody else walking around he said no y'all stay peter james john y'all come and go with me i'm on a faith mission i don't need everybody and may i help you you don't need to tell everybody your business you don't need to tell everybody your next move because everybody around you don't have the message of faith that you have there's a whole lot of unbelieving people around you there's a whole lot of doubt do you realize that there are people you think in your corner that are just waiting to see you fail jesus said one thing i cannot have when i go into this atmosphere i don't need no dead weight around me i need some believers i don't need no non-believers i told many people where i am in my church if i get sick there are some people i don't even want to come to the hospital don't tell them i'm sick and in the hospital until after god bring me out of it why because they're coming looking at the chart claiming they coming out of concern what the doctor say you got what else they say that you go to tell her [Music] my mama had that [Music] she did how'd she make that oh she died last year with that get out of my room and so when jesus got to the house he finds all of that in the atmosphere he got to the house and found all the deaconesses in the kitchen cried and weeping away lord what you gonna do the little pro child one by twelve-year-old that's just jesus said get out but we ain't no ain't gonna be no but we planned in the wake ain't gonna be no chicken ain't gonna be no cake ain't gonna be no tater pie ain't gonna be no coconut cake ain't gonna be no rolls up in here today why because the resurrection and the life done into the building somebody help me preach this thing here [Music] the deacons was in the other room in the living room well we got the pieces no go tell the funeral director stay there and cut a refund check because he ain't coming to pick up nobody in here today said peter james and john come in this room mother and daddy come in this room now you need some people around you when you're going through not to say oh god i feel so sorry for you you know you need people to say uh-uh the bible said by his strengths you are healed the bible said that there is a bomb in gilead when you got sin in your head you got to have say saying i am more than a conqueror no weapon formed against me shall brush i can't do all things through christ that strengthen me is there anybody here that want faith to whisper in your ear god help me here so here they are faith and fear going toe-to-toe but here jesus the heavyweight champion god i thank you it's in the ring and he knocks fear out one more time gives him an uppercut then gives him a body blow then knocks him out and then counting the 12 and five still on the ground but here jesus said while they count them out he says talithakumi get up and arise and immediately the girl arises because you can't be in a dead situation and hear jesus voice and remain dead i'm through but all i want to encourage somebody don't let fear overpower faith in your life if you gonna trust god trust him all the way if you're gonna trust god let him lead you because see faith will take you through pathways that you cannot see if you could already see where you were going you wouldn't need nothing you trust a gps system that takes you all around the world that takes you the wrong way and instead of saying i'm sorry i took you the wrong way they say recalculating but how many of you know that when you follow god you got the best gps system he'll lead you around pitfalls he'll lead you over hills and mountains he'll lead you around valleys where your enemies are ditches for you he'll lead you in the path of righteousness for his namesake faith will conquer fear every time but you gotta trust and believe i close with this in 2001 y'all know the story in new york where the world trade center went up flames and this is how you got to trust god three months to prior to that june the 11th 2001 i was employed by morgan stanley dean witter large brokerage firm and it was located on the 73rd floor in tower one of the world trade center and on june 11th i was called into my supervisor's office saying mr royal we are merging departments and i'm sorry to inform you that we're going to have to downsize your position because you were the last one to come into this department and so we're merging it with someone else and they are the senior person and i'm sorry whatever recommendation you need you have it from me and i walked out of that office with an attitude with god and don't ever say you ain't never been there because you're lying because there's been something that hurt you to the call your heart that you say now lord come on here i've been paying my tithes i've been trying to treat people right i've been trying to love people that get on my last nerve i ain't been cussing nobody out that deserve it i've been keeping my fist in my pocket and not knocking nobody in their mouth lord what's up here it's the best paying job that i've ever had and i'm doing here i am preaching for you and you gonna let this happen but then three months later if i was still there who's to say i'd be standing here today but god already knew that there was an assignment 20 years later for me to be at second baptist church telling you that your faith can conquer your fears so god had to get me out of tom's way and i'm here to let you know that you may have plans and if god decides to change your plans and keep you on his divine path just trust god because he already i said just trust god because he has a way that's better than your way if you trust god he'll bring you out with the victory if you trust god he got a better way than what you thought you ain't [Music] [Music] psalm 37 was talking about the steps of a good man ordered by the lord didn't deserve to be here but god was so kind enough to think enough of me not mind you hurt me to my heart because one of my high school classmates was a security guard in that building and he didn't make it out and my heart was heavy but i said god you thought enough of me to leave me somebody ought not take life for granted every moment is precious god left us all here throughout this pandemic for a reason and because he left us here we owe him a praise because he left us here we are is there anybody that can say what shall i render unto god and let's worship the lord for keeping us frustr come on show me how great for you show card outbreak [Music] hallelujah god i just want to show you how grateful i am lord i can't buy you a bed because the bible says that you never sleep nor slumber lord i can't buy you a house because john 14 reminds us that your house is so big you got many mansions in it yeah lord i can't even buy you a soup cause my grandmama told me you're so high that can't nobody get you so why can't nobody get around you so deep can't nobody get under you nobody knows your measurements so god take this little that we have today this spirit of thanksgiving but shall i render unto god for all his benefits toward me i might not give him money but i can give him a praise i can give him thanks jesus let his fears overcome be overcome through faith he had fear in the garden of gethsemane yeah he did as he said god if it's another way let this cup pass from you that was fear talking but then faith says not my will nevertheless not my will but thou will be done i'm here to let you know there are others that went through it before you god brought them out [Music] there are others that'll go through what you're going through after you let how you go through this be an example of how god can bring them out by trusting him to bring you out [Music] will you do that now i know y'all ready because i know y'all smell the little stuff from the other raids but in the midst of it trust god anybody willing to let your faith overcome your fears today come on let your faith conquer your fear father we thank you today thank you so much for reminding us [Music] that faith has the power to conquer our thank you for reminding us that fear does not come from you but you gave us a spirit of power and of love and of a sound mind thank you for keeping us in our right mind with all that one alone around us we could have lost our mind but god should kept us yes lord and lord we just want to say thank you thank you lord we want to say thank you you've been good to us lord and we thank you now god there may be somebody here under the sound of my voice that does not know you when the pardon of their sins help them to make a decision not to just join a church but to have a relationship with you help them to get to the point in their life where if you call them right now they'll make a decision where they could change their citizenship from maryland and dc to new jerusalem god do touch them now if there are any that are here that are not saved god keep them in the safety zone until you save their souls yes lord in the name of jesus bless this pastor bless those who work along with him bless second baptist as only you can't go help them to be a faith-driven church that whenever the enemy shall present fear before them they will make the declaration our faith will conquer our fears this is our prayer today in the name of the lord jesus we praise you and give you thanks thank god amen now come on put the chopping hands together and then pound their hands together and let's get all that good praise come on hallelujah [Music] i will trust [Music] oh yes [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] everybody [Music] everybody [Music] [Music] everybody [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] i'm gonna stay older [Music] [Applause] oh [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] amen we thank god for that word amen and we thank god for god's messenger this day i i believe that we are all better for having been on the receiving end of that dare i say rhema word from the lord so we're grateful to god today [Music] and we want to join together as we seek to stay close to jesus we want to join together and commune together as family knowing that if we stay connected to god god will surely meet every one of our needs i love the fact that we don't have to get a ticket and wait in line to receive anything from god that really is the essence of what communion is all about it's about being close enough to the lord he says as often as you do this do it in remember remembrance of me you know the story they were gathered together in that upper room and they were there chilling eating eating some good food and in that moment [Music] as they were eating jesus took the bread it was the same unleavened bread that they had been eating the whole time and then in that moment he took it and the bible says they broke it and he gave thanks and said this now is my body just broken for you take even in that moment undoubtedly the disciples were trying to figure out what in the world is jesus doing what what does all this mean and while they were still asking questions and wondering what it meant he he quickly took the cup the same wine they had been drinking the whole time but he said this now is my blood to shed for you for the remission of sins take drink it for i will not eat and drink with you again until i come so we also do the same thing we we commune together in order to tap into the resurrection that jesus has for each of us in our lives daily and so [Music] let us now eat together and let us now drink together and may we forever praise god how together uh the bible says that after they had eaten and drank together and communed together they went out to the mount of olives singing hymns and we don't have a malabalus nearby but we are on the hill called silver [Music] silver hill road that is and so we gonna sing him and as we prepare to do that i want to do this we have a couple of our newest disciples who are here that have gone through new disciples orientation we want to extended them the right elbow of fellowship today and so uh i'd ask that uh sister mary francis burnett and sister grace peterson would come uh forward at this time so we can uh extend the right elbow of fellowship if you'll come up and stand on my well you stand on my right y'all coming on the right you stand on my right and uh i'll ask dr shayla and and elijah to come up i'll ask uh deacon smith to come representing the deacons and asked deaconess wilson to come representing the deaconess and asked trustee lucas to come representing the trustees and all three of you represent the church and we will all give you both if you'll stand right here thank you the uh the the right elbow of fellowship in this in this season um i will say there will be no formal benediction today because the bible says after they commune together they just went out singing and praising god we're going to do the same um by all means by all means i i certainly uh want you to stay safe and continue trusting and believing and i i want you to encourage somebody this week based off what you've heard today because i believe that you've been encouraged if you've been encouraged it should surely encourage someone else as well you coming over here come on come on and uh what's up buddy what's up bud um so yeah uh be encouraged trust god never doubt because god surely will bring you out uh jd hook us up with
