it's great so yes i came in 2003 at the time i had moved from kentucky here and i started going to a church at west point where i had you know one of my pastors that left kentucky was there and he said this is too far for you i think you should go to abundant life family worship church oh wow yeah it was closer to my home i lived in staten island at the time and west point was far and up mountains and stuff so yeah that's what brought me to abundant he sent me here and i walked in the door and felt like i was home wow keeps you here in abundance not just me but well pasta andrew is one of the things that keeps you here it's all true but what what honestly keeps me here is what brought me here and that's the lord right so because this is not it's not about me it's not about what i think or how i feel it is all about god and what he has in mind for us as people so he orders our steps and he ordered my steps here and so that's what keeps me here other things that keeps me here is our amazing leaders um oh my gosh that's just the truth i sign an appreciation um because they are amazing um humans so god is faithful in that regard to have such great leaders to be called over

here's what i need you to do because we understand and recognize that there's no god like our god y'all with me on that there is no god like our god he is the everlasting god from generation to generation he's still god the bible declares that he's the same yesterday today and forever forever he is god now here's what's important for us tonight it's not only to just say he's god but somehow in the consciousness of your mind way back in the fabric of your membrane you're going to have to pull the reality of god being god in you because what makes the difference in any service in any gathering is a personal agreement with the god that we recognize who is alive in us you know what the bible reminds us greater is he that is in us than he that is so i need you to pull on that god tonight for the next few moments as we would share together tonight is a real special night we're going back to go forward i almost almost don't want to say it but we're going back to go forward and we're pulling up some oldies with goodies and and we've asked some of the old singers of the church to come on back to the church and join us tonight so let's pray together father in heaven we thank you for the joy of life itself and without reasoning lord god we come to the conclusion that you made this night to be so we acknowledge you with every fiber in our being we acknowledge that there is none greater than you so lord we ask oh god for the assistance of angels who are standing on the sideline waiting to hear the sound from this house waiting to hear the voice that will rise from this house that will declare the goodness of the god that we serve and the god that they glorify but they all can do it in a certain manner but we want to open up the channels lord tonight open up the channels of receiving from you we want to open up the way of receiving the glory that only comes from your throne room so god tonight show yourself strong work a miracle tonight by uniting our voices and our minds and our hearts together that somebody that's watching tonight somebody that's listening tonight will yes be saved somebody will be delivered somebody will be set free somebody will be lifted from the burdens that they've been carrying somebody will understand that you are right there with them through every trial through every test through every situation through the good times to the bad times to the upcomings to the down times through the right time to the left time you're the god who is forever present and so god make your presence known tonight lord we acknowledge you in all of our ways of show yourselves charm liberate our sensitive so that we would be the joy of life itself so that we will be the light that shines brighter than the darkness holy spirit you welcome you're welcome you're welcome in this moment you're welcome in this building you're welcome in the homes that are watching you welcoming those that are at their jobs watching you're welcome while the children are watching you're welcome my grandma is watching you are welcome in every home you're welcome to do what only you can do have your way do your bidding tonight through every song through every moment of worship and we will bless your name and the more we bless your name the more you will bless us the more we your righteousness and truth the more you're going to show yourself strong and we thank you for this moment we thank you for this god moment thank you for it now in jesus name that all god's people shout hallelujah can y'all do me one big favor can you raise the roof with the highest praise you can find come on give god your highest praise oh hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah to god be the glory to god be the glory for the great things he has done for me god be the glory god be the glory god be the glory god be the glory [Music] he's wonderful he's glorious and i love him so you may take your seats here in the sanctuary just for a few minutes oh i forgot to pray this prayer father would you give the congregation strength lord would you give your people strength to engage in reaching back so that we can reach forward those that are watching lord don't let them get sleepy in the name of jesus i'm really glad to be here tonight really you glad i'm i'm i'm ridiculously glad to be here tonight in that we we set this side this night aside to just worship the lord and to bless the name of jesus um we got some preaching last night oh my god good goodness and mercy shall follow us the word was so powerful i want to encourage you to go on our website to go on our youtube channel and if you missed the word last night you can go on and you can pull it back up again and we believe that the lord will bless you real good tonight we're reaching all the way back to the time we first began and uh i'm i'm so encouraged with the response of so many through this pandemic through the wearing of the mask and somebody well not somebody a whole lot of bodies um asked about last night that so many singers didn't have their mask on singing well let me help you they find it very difficult to sing the praises of the lord with masks on so and they said it's hot so we have sanctified this area i don't i don't know how much or how far or how deep your faith goes but what we've had to do was we had to dig deep in faith and believe that god will cover us that don't mean we're going to be careless because as soon as they walk off they putting the mask on some of them got him on their wrist got it in their pockets yet i've come to understand there are times when what we preached about what we've taught what we believed god the prayer time there are times when you have to believe that god is going to take care of you i don't have any other theological um words to give you in regards to that i just believe that god will take care of us and and and if he chooses to afford you time in his presence because that's your desire i believe he'll keep you in that moment so so if if you could tonight some of you are watching you're still up in the air with that i just i just i like to be real transparent i'd like to be real clear um but what i also like to do is i also like to remind people that we still walk by faith and not by sight i do i want to remind people and and i always i always want you to know that this church cares about people's lives so we we we believe that we've done our due diligence to clear the air the system is working properly with because of the height of the ceiling we've been told how we need to the place and then finally this is a terrible plug finally we've got lysol we got spray i got my spray i spray everything and then when i go back we put on our mask god has been good to this church and i believe he's going to continue to cover us and to keep us and i just want you to just join with me in faith so tonight we're going to do a a couple of old time songs we're going to take it back a little bit and then we're going to and we're going to you're going to hear some some uh originals just a little bit and uh pray for us because you know getting people to come and rehearsal it was a was a real challenge but those that could make it made it and i just wanted to say personally from me and mary we appreciate that so much i you know what the three things i'm going to preach about on teach about on sunday and that is the first one is our call and i thank you all for understanding the call not just the call to sing but the call to be the manifestation of who christ is christ in you the hope of glory thank you all for the call and then secondly thank you for your courage because you don't have to be up here but it takes courage in the midst of a pandemic to come and stand and to declare that jesus christ is still lord and that we would not have made it except for his amazing grace in our lives and thirdly our commitment thank you all for being committed to this thing well why don't we go right there we we're here because of his grace it was his grace that brought me saved this far and grace is going to lead me now we we did this a long time ago so dwayne

abundant life ministry shapers and culture shifters their unique way of brainstorming and strategizing down through the years and and serving helped us to do to do a few things number one it created a distinctive sound through music and through prayer in this house number two they were they were part of the the chronicle of of our the history of our church and and the technology that was necessary to bring us to the place that we are right now and they help to construct systems that help to build the infrastructure of this great ministry and i believe that this is a great ministry do i have any witnesses in the house who will agree with me [Applause] it's a great ministry because we have great people so we created the first abundant life hall of fame as our way of honoring the achievements of these individuals who have excelled in a particular field of ministry these forerunners left stepping stones for others to thrive in ministry and set in motion systems for us that still endure after they have passed it on to the next generation although this is our first our first induction it most certainly will not be our last so ladies and gentlemen if you would sit comfortably we want to present to you the first abundant life hall of fame be blessed [Music] [Music] we honor sean c wright whom we affectionately called shawnee my special nephew he was the son of my brother bill and his wife denise as well as a talented incredible drummer yes shawnee was only 12 years old and he began playing the drums here at abundant life you know without any formal training he learned to play by ear sean devoted a copious number of hours practicing at home and fine-tuning his ear by listening and learning from more seasonal musicians yes he played with kenny black he also watched and

enjoy doing worship here and all the ministries that i participated in over the years um i once had an exercise at work for us to talk about what was one of the pivotal moments in our life that changed or directed the trajectory of your life and for me that was starting at rutgers university which introduced me to new hope training center for which i was a passive member but i was i went from there to abundant life family worship center at the time as an active member and from that decision not only did i start my career because i got my first job through glennis gerard so pastor leo was honored yesterday but i got my first job through glennis gerard and that launched my financial services career and i found a group of friends in ministry and pastors that became family and we call each other the family that we choose right so there's the family that you're born into and then there's the family we choose an abundant life was the family that i chose and it was an honor for all the years we had some fun times we had some funny times laughing at each other and with each other but it was an honor to serve in ministry with my family and so again i say thank you very much amen

our ministry helping us to glorify god through musical worship as one of the principal leaders in establishing the inaugural music and some abundant life classics like amazing grace how sweet the

going to be short alex so don't worry uh 30 years ago uh my cousin robin robin wilson she uh asked me to come with them to i think it was a hezekiah walker outdoor function or something that came with and and i jumped on the oregon and uh bishop you know before we got on the bus and bishop came out and said who's that and he came out and we spoke we exchanged numbers and i think a couple weeks later i came and that was probably one of the first times when i played i heard the audible voice of the lord saying this is home so so for 15 years this was home and this was the place where i learned my call this is the place where i produce my first project this is actually right there is where i wrote i will go in jesus name um this is the place where my kids would come and they grew in the lord and uh this this place means so many things to me and to come 30 years ago to now and to see this harvest is unbelievable for me so let me stop um i want to thank you bishop and first lady for for modeling how to prioritize the presence of god and prayer to all of us here um it's something that i carry with me and everything that i do every project um you know whenever i sit on the
