hope that we can be a blessing last sunday was fantastic our associate pastor justin gleason gave a great message the rabbi rejoices it was outstanding and there were 12 that received the holy ghost on pentecost sunday and two more last sunday maddie and rachel young adults were baptized in the name of the lord and baptized in the holy spirit and we thank god for that and the best thing about it is they have disciple makers in their lives amen we didn't just give birth to babies but we got moms and dads spiritual moms and dads raising them discipling them helping them to grow and become what god wants them to be i want to mention that last sunday at the conclusion of pastor justin's message we had a sign up for connect groups everybody say connect groups amen connect groups we're starting our second semester this week our second semester will run june and july eight weeks if you would like to lead a connect group if you have someone you're teaching a bible study to and we don't know about it please look at this number please text cg for connect group and then leader cg leader to this number then we know that you're on board and we want to send you this semester's worth of curriculum that we have written we have designed it it's on discovering your purpose in your life discovering your purpose in life and of course we know the starting place for discovering that purpose is god everybody say god amen without god there is no purpose and so we want to share that with you i want to celebrate right now we have 72 carryover connect groups from last semester and to 10 new connect groups for 82 connect groups can we thank the lord for those that are making disciples through connect groups one final word i have for you before the message a week from today this congregation is going to be blessed with the singing of the abi 1968 quartet how about that that's before and after the before pictures when they are in their 20s the afters when they're in their 70s and we decided now that's my brother's quartet i was only 10 when he was out running around with those guys but there's two former missionaries there jerry burns and gary reed dominican and jordan and my dad in the lower picture the gentleman on the right i could never take his place but i'm gonna sing his part and we're gonna start here and we're going on tour [Music] we need some roadies we're starting here then we're going to o'fallon missouri then we're going to sioux falls south dakota then we're going to camp galilee in saint paul minnesota and then we're finishing up in ames iowa superintendent daniel fleming and we decided if the rolling stones can still tour and if chicago can still tour and if doobie brothers can still tour and and and if neil diamond can still tour 50 years later by god we're going on tour in the name amen so we don't know what it's going to be but it's going to be something so we want you to be here next sunday and you listen the sound you're going to hear is so old it'll be new [Music] would you want to stand for just four short verses please stand acts 6 1 [Music] listen to this now in those days when the number of the disciples was multiplying think about that maybe they're talking you remember in those days when the number of the disciples was just multiplying verse seven then the word of god spread the number of disciples multiplied greatly in jerusalem and a great many of the priests were obedient to the faith don't miss that last phrase a great many of the priests this means this is a prophetic word for us than in the last days that denominational ordained pastors are going to get revelation of the mighty god in christ and water baptism in the name of jesus christ and the infilling of the holy spirit it's already happening throughout the whole world it's already happened here in kansas city and more is coming hallelujah everybody say revelation look at chapter 11 verse 21 the hand of the lord was with them don't miss that you can't do anything for god unless the hand of the lord is with you and a great number believed and turned to the lord one time the bible said five thousand but now it's beyond that now it's a great number believed and turned to the lord look at chapter 16 verse five so the churches were strengthened in the faith and increased in number daily [Music] i don't know what this says to you but it looks to me like daily churches were being planted daily believers were recognizing the call and obeying jesus and doing what he had called and anointed them to do as i read these four verses today it looks to me like the church is winning [Music] is that what it looks like to you amen they're winning the number of disciples is multiplying the number of churches is multiplying they're not only winning but it looks to me like they're running up the score against who the enemy the devil false doctrine sort of like the royals ran up the score on the twins in the first inning friday night i had to get over that they scored nine runs in the first inning it was over came over so my message today is in the form of a question are we winning amen are we winning how many believes you're on the winning side do you believe you're winning come on are you winning don't we love winners [Music] everybody's going to help me preach by saying amen at least one time may be seated thank you for all those amen and if you didn't say amen and you were seated you have to give me one more in the next 30 minutes a few years ago in yukon oklahoma two high school teams were playing in the first round of the state basketball championship playoffs hugo high was leading millwood high 37 to 36 with four minutes left hugo the leading team had the ball all they had to do was inbound the pass and hold it for four seconds and it would be game over go to the next round hugo's star forward caught the inbound pass but instead of just holding it and running around and dribbling it incredulously he took a shot and he made it he raised his hands in victory he's running around the court looking for a teammate to celebrate him but they weren't celebrating there was one problem in the pandemonium of that intense moment he became confused and shot the ball at the wrong basket and he looked up at the scoreboard painfully to realize he his team just lost 38 to 37. are we winning are you scoring for the right team turn to somebody say you better be scoring points for the right team you see scoreboards never lie scoreboards tell the truth i brought a scoreboard with me perhaps you didn't realize this but after the super bowl some of you weren't aware that it was delayed in pennsylvania and michigan and wisconsin and georgia and then after all those people watched the super bowl the chiefs actually won 119-31 so what do we count at tlc what numbers are on our scoreboard are we winning or are we losing are you winning are you losing do we even know what the score is now i've got another picture to show you raise your hand if you've ever seen one of these before oh i see we have a lot of first generation pentecostals in the house today this is an old time church register they used to have them like right there prominently displayed so everybody could see it and that's where they sort of kept score you know we got attendance today attendance last sunday offering today offering last sunday offering a year ago oh that's not doing too good i think they're losing and it would be the sunday school superintendent's shining moment as he would walk in in the appropriate time in the service like and he had the new numbers and he would post them up there well one superintendent had been away for a few weeks and he'd lost quite a bit of weight he'd sort of been a sort of a big guy and he lost quite a bit of weight and it was his first time to really post the numbers and hadn't really paid attention to everything and he lifted up his hand put the new numbers in and his trousers fell to the floor and i think they were losing now oh forgive me for having fun so what are we counting what's on our church register what's important to us we count whatever's important to us don't we i think you do yeah do you know how old you are somebody said unfortunately yeah sure you don't ask somebody how old they are and they have to get out their calculator and take off their shoes and use their toes to count how old they are no do you ever walk up to somebody say how many kids you got they're like yeah i have to really think about that one no we we count that we know that we we take good account of that because that's important to us and then when the grandchildren come along we count those very very well some people count the number of years they've worked for a company but others count how many years they have left until they retire sometimes we count what we've saved in our bank accounts or what we've invested in our portfolio retirement account one man was praying one day he said god what's a million dollars to you the lord said ah just a penny the man said god what's a thousand years to you the lord said ah just a day the man said lord could i just have a penny and the lord said give me a day so what do you count do you count what you want to count or do you count what jesus counts at the life church we really want to count what matters what did jesus count how did he know if he was winning or losing he counted sparrows talents hairs on your head wise and foolish people number of stars he counted the number of his disciples if he'd walked up to jesus said how many disciples do you have he goes oh i don't know i got a few no he prayed all night long before he chose how many 12 12 disciples have you ever wondered why he didn't choose 50 or 100 or a thousand wouldn't it be merrier to have more no he chose 12. 12 is a symbolic number it is a ruling number 12 is the number of spiritual authority and he's building his church on the foundation of these 12. jesus didn't just randomly pick 10 or 15 or 20. no he picks 12 after he prays all night long he would have rather have well that were committed and sold out and trained and equipped and discipled and were efficient and were disciplined than to have a hundred lazy spoon fed wannabes that were just you know happy to hang out and eat free food on chips sunday and get to see cool stuff and brag about how you know they're in the club oh no jesus let 5 000 of those men those kinds of people plus women and children walk away on fish and chips sunday and he was even willing to let the 12 walk away after the multitude left he said well you also go away and peter stood up and said oh no you prayed all night before you chose up us where are we gonna go for we know and believe and are sure that you are the christ the son of the living god aren't you glad that you know who jesus is aren't you glad that he counted you worthy and he called you and he chose you let me tell you something when he was on the cross you were on his mind amen when he was suffering and bleeding and dying he wanted you he chose you before the foundation of the world and god doesn't make junk and he's calling you today he's calling you to join a winning team [Applause] let me tell you something i read the back of the book and we win everything that's of the devil everything that's of the world is going down it's going to crash it'll be crashed i want all the kids that were at youth camp this week stand up you guys get up there how come you weren't up here in the worship until some of you were jackson were you filled with the holy ghost and camp that was awesome amen t did you develop a heart for god amen what happened to you emmanuel at camp what did god say to you he opened up more how about you sweetie she had a vision savannah oh worship went to a new level zoe opened up to god tavia she understands her calling come on amen this is the winning team come on this is the winning team amen they didn't come back saying i took my first drag off of a joint i had my first sip of alcohol i looked at pornography no they said we're getting on the right team oh and we're gonna win turn to somebody say we're gonna win hallelujah everybody all right listen god will honor the smallest sacrifice god will bless you from what you think is an insignificant gesture jesus even said if you give a cup of cold water in my name you will receive the prophet's reward i'm looking at winners today i'm looking at the finest people on the face of the earth the call the chosen the redeemed the set apart amen you know what god thinks about us he didn't say you're a low down bunch of no good scallywags that i drug out of jail and prison and drug you off the street and you you you're nothing and you'll never be nothing no no no do you know how the lord speaks to us he says you are a chosen generation you are a royal priesthood you are a holy nation you are a peculiar people that i have called out of darkness into his marvelous light if he's called you out of darkness you're called to get on the winning team if he's called you out of darkness you've been called to shake this world up if you've been called out of darkness you've been drafted i'm looking at first-round draft choices god doesn't make junk don't feel like you're losing because you're not turning the world upside down a cup of cold water blessing somebody with a kind word making a difference there's a difference with a smile and a holy ghost smile i was with this week they said when so-and-so walked in the range the atmosphere not everybody has that you don't have to change the atmosphere just change one person i got some help back there tonight today you've probably heard this story i got it in chicken soup for the soul there was a guy who was jogging down the beach and he saw this old man he was way up ahead and he was bending down he was picking up something he was throwing it out into the water and did he pick up another one and throw it out in the water and the jogger got up there and he saw this thousands and thousands of starfish that got washed up on the shore and he said to that old man he said what are you doing he said well i'm i'm trying to get the starfish back out to sea he said you'll never get them all out there you'll never make a difference the sun's coming out the tide's going out they're all going to be dead before the tide goes back in you'll never make a difference and with that he just bent down and picked up another one and he threw it out into the water he said well i made a difference in that one hallelujah oh come on god's calling winners today god's calling winners to make a difference in one god's calling us don't tell me you don't have anything to say don't tell god you don't have anything to offer he's called you he's equipped you he will give you what you need hallelujah oh let's clap our hands i want the winners to clap your hands right now [Applause] you may be seated i see brother mark here he's always in row one seat a don't you sit in his seat unless you worship like he does unless you love lost people like he does people that some of us wouldn't take the time for he has a heart for he's always sending me a picture some hospital he's in some some recovery place some rehab place on the street corner he said pastor i got to minister to this one today i got to minister to that one today is he going to get him all no but he's making a difference in that one that's what i'm talking about winning winning winning don't let the devil tell you you're not valuable don't let the enemy tell you you don't have any gifts you don't have any talent you don't have anything to offer i'm going to tell you something the bible says little is much when god is in it it is not by the lord to save by many or by few oh hallelujah i feel like running up the score today i feel like running out of here and making a difference [Applause] cameron last sunday night was it last week or two weeks ago two weeks ago pentecost sunday you were in milwaukee stand up cameron cameron was there where's adam there's adam adam and cameron we're in milwaukee with evangelist josh herring they had an outpouring service coming out of coven there was about 2 000 people there and in house i think maybe 350 about 350 were filled with the baptism of the holy spirit for the first time in another 800 beyond the walls of that building i say it's time to start running up the score it's time to wreak havoc on the kingdom of darkness they were laying hands on them and god was filling them with the holy ghost [Applause] but let me tell you something we may not all be there we may not all be in a place where 350 gets saved all at one time but if one sinner today i know where sin abounds i know sin is abounding i know sin is abounding i don't even have time to get into all of that sin is abounding how many realize that we're counter culture to this world come on if you love god if you're living your life by the bible you can't go along with the cosmos with the spirit of this world we are swimming upstream we are counter culture to the politics we are counter culture amen to the economy we are counter culture to the values and the principles by which people navigate their life i want to tell you something here today my friend it's going to be a battle everything worth winning is going to be one uphill all the way but you can make a difference if one sinner repents we have a metro of 2.6 million but if one sinner repents today i say we're winning [Applause] [Laughter] yes if that one that repented says you know what i'm going to take it a step further i know that he's forgiven me and my sin but now i want him to wash my sins away i want him to radically deal with my sin if you want to know what god thinks about sin look at jesus on the cross he was wounded for our transgression he was bruised for our iniquities the chastity of our peace was upon him and with his stripes we are healed god radically dealt with sin on the cross so you can have your sins washed away if one sinner repents today we're winning amen clap your hands again if you're on the winning side [Music] jesus is praying at the end of his ministry three and a half years he's made disciples and he says in verse 4 of john 17 lord i finished the work i won i won everyone that you gave me i still have them all he said except one amen the son of perdition judas cooperated with the devil it didn't have to be judas he was he had a target on his soul because he was greedy and because he didn't get it and because he thought he could betray jesus go home with 30 pieces of silver and come back the next day and jesus would jump off the cross and everything would be fine he didn't understand redemption's plan he was out of it listen the only way you'll ever lose is if you don't get it here today the only way you'll ever lose is if you start partnering amen with spirits and attitudes that are contradictory to what god wants to do but let me tell you something you can even be on the losing side and work against the kingdom of god and god can take it out of your hands and he could use it for his glory as rebellious as judas was god said i'm going to use it to save the world and later paul said if the prince of this world had known what would have happened when he crucified the lord of glory he would have never done it you can't do anything against the truth i want to serve an announcement to the spirit of this age i've got an announcement for antichrist i've got an announcement for the canceled culture amen i've got an announcement for communism i've got an announcement for every ideology and every philosophy amen that is coming against the word of god you cannot do anything against the truth but for the truth and before jesus come there's going to be an outpouring of the spirit and sinners are going to repent oh i'm on the winning team today and jesus you may be seen he's at the end of his ministry and he's sort of wrapping things up he's doing the paperwork he's ready to punch out is that connecting with you now it's over he said lord i finish the work the work of making disciples the work of building a winning team oh they're so awesome every one of them is going to lay down their life now listen even jesus didn't win at all he had one that he lost but 92 ain't bad god had two members of his church in the church of the garden of eden and he lost them both god knows how you feel when all your ducks get out of line and you spend time with people and they don't believe they don't obey listen you're never losing when you're taking the word to somebody you're never losing when you're investing your life for a kingdom purpose you're winning you're winning because the bible says that if we will sow then we will reap where we where we have not sowed but you have to sow before you can reap where you have not sold what that means is every one of you that has ever taught a bible study and it never came to fruition listen to me now i'm calling the devil a liar and some of you haven't signed up for connect group because you said i've tried that and i failed and nobody did anything let me tell you something it was because of your labor it was because of your faithfulness it was because of you going out and doing the mission we may not have reaped there but we have reaped somewhere else somebody's here today you may not have touched them but they came in because of your sacrifice [Applause] stand up if you're at the prayer meeting last night this little lady she wouldn't hurt a flea she doesn't say a peep but she said pastor i want to have a prayer meeting on saturday night whoever wants to come can come she said i don't care if it's five or whoever look at these people they said you know what gabby the lord's saying that to us too i don't know how many will be here next saturday at seven you can come if you want to you can pray at home if you want to amen you know what this is this is winning one of the reasons angels are in this place because they prayed them into this place today amen one of the reasons you declared it brother larmy it's true did you feel the faith rise when we identify that the angelic host is in this place today that's why people are going to get saved today that's why people are going to repent of their sins and there will be miracles in this house today amen you may be seated i want you to raise your hand right now if you've got pain in your body raise your hand if you've got pain vicky's got pain who else anita this brother all right you got you got pain you said suffering okay all right you got pain joyce and elizabeth and this sister i'm sorry i don't have my glasses on what's your first name ruth has pain how many believes that he's the pain take-awayer if you can stand up if you got pain i want you to stand up i feel like it demands a miracle here today to show who's on the winning side i can't heal anybody i can't do it but the healer is in this house sister robin sprouse the healer is in this house amen if you believe that god is here if you believe that i'm a man of god i want you to lift your hands if you can amen god's getting ready to heal you by the authority of the word of god and the power of the name of jesus i command the pain to go [Applause] hallelujah by his stripes we are healed by his stripes we are healed pain must go it must leave your back it must leave your thigh it must leave your knee it must leave your neck oh come on somebody thank him like you've got a miracle right now come on somebody shout out [Applause] in jesus name in jesus name in jesus name come on let's thank him for what he's doing right now come on rejoice are you a winner are you serving the winning god [Applause] yes come on when we come to church we want something to happen when we come to church we want to see something happen [Applause] in jesus name in jesus name [Applause] all right just remain standing that's fine i'm not sure if i'm done preaching yet or not all right everybody hands down if you raised your hand that you had pain i want you to check your body see if the pain is gone see if it's gone if it's gone i want you to testify by lifting your hand and say the pain is gone there's one right there there's another one there's another one right there there's another one right there come on this is a testimony servant back there pain is gone anybody over here come on amen there's another one vicky anybody over here i think about eight said the pain is gone come on we're winning we're winning we're winning greater is he that is in you than he that's in
