first met jeff snice when i was about oh jeff i don't want to tell how old because you won't remember i'm just kidding i i think i first heard jeff when you were with the nelens probably i don't know three or four years ago and uh and i heard jeff and began to admire his uh god-given abilities and then uh it wasn't too many years ago that jeff and i both ended up teaching piano side by side in rooms at the steve hirsch school of music and he and i developed a a quick friendship and we became what we call the sanhedrin up there we began to meet over lunch every day and we solved all the world's problems uh sitting around a not very good lunch on a college campus many summers but the lord has certainly gifted him and he has been a hero of mine for many years from his time with the nelens and from the kingdom mayors and triumphant and then with a perfect heart and then as a solo artist and tonight you are in for a treat if only all of monroe georgia knew what they had here tonight in this building they'd all be here but you are here tonight and you're in for a treat and i want you to make welcome to the big city of monroe my friend and the kentucky wildcat fan mr jeff

say you're at peace with our heavenly father me too you know what sometimes i don't live the way i should just being honest but thank god he loves me and uh thank god he draws me back and uh i just thank god he don't give up on us amen oh my goodness gracious well my name is jeff stice uh i play piana and uh let me tell you something i i talked to stephen last week and uh i it's a little intimidating sitting here playing when i know he plays as well as he does and i mean that from the bottom of my heart he's my friend and uh i love you i respect you so much and your choir is awesome uh i miss that uh matter of fact it's good to see a lot of people in church again uh it just i don't know what to say i know we all went through it last year and uh just curious did anybody go to walmart during all that yeah did you go down the wrong aisle you're laughing you know what i'm talking about let me tell you something i got stared down i mean i when i go into walmart i know exactly what i'm gonna get so i'm looking at the signs you know i don't look on the floor where it says six feet apart you gotta go this way or that way i don't do that and i probably should i guess i'm irresponsible but anyway anyway i walked into walmart and i'm going to tell you something i went down the wrong aisle and there at the other end was a lady and she's there and she started patting her foot you know i feel like i was out of the scene of the western you know i thought we were good you know but uh but so so i backed up real slow like never taken my eye off of her and went around the all the way down the aisle and come in behind her and she was up reaching to get a can and i i couldn't resist i said can i get that for you and she just jumped out of her shoes i reached and got her a can of peaches and handed it to her but uh oh my goodness gracious it's the truth so true walmart wrong aisle never again now i go in and of course everybody's going everywhere seems like now just daring you to say you're going down the wrong aisle you know but uh that's okay too hey i got a picture i want to show you this is my dad yeah he's a good-looking rascal wasn't he yeah uh i lost him three and a half years ago um march 7th he was my hero and uh man i miss him but uh he wouldn't come back here if he could he's uh he'd suffered a stroke the last 11 and a half years of his life and couldn't walk he was uh pretty much confined to his uh recliner and uh but um man he's walking everywhere right now so i'm typically this is my mom yeah yeah and then uh this is their wedding picture yeah looks like james dean and ingrid bergman yeah and then this was the last picture they took together yeah shortly well i think mom said five years after they got married this little guy come along i ain't got no hair and then this is me at the piano well no this is my this is you can't make that stuff up you know what i mean this this is my dog rhythm yeah he's not a puppy anymore but i taught him to do a trick and uh his name is rhythm and uh it just works uh he's so much fun he's a golden retriever and the thing about a golden retriever he's six years old now and he still thinks he's this little yeah so uh and then this is my better half right here it's my wife stacy and man i'm blessed she prays for me she encourages me uh she truly is the epitome of a help mate and uh praise the lord for her every day i really do she's just awesome okay i need everybody to say this with me no wait a minute not yet don't don't just uh i want to do something else i am uh i just completed a new project for day win records and it's a tribute to dolly dottie rambo and i'm pretty excited about it but they've got me working on another one and these are songs that make you smile kind of thing and they somehow found how many of you know who frank sinatra is i know we're talking about frank sinatra in church here we are but somehow they got a hold of his original track and it's got a kid's choir on it and i know every one of you know this song and uh i'm gonna do it for you because i don't have it yet back here and this is the first time i've done it out but uh this this is such a a positive song and it's a happy song and it sounds old but you'll know it as soon as it starts [Music] there's a lot to be learned [Music] so [Music] there's a lot to be learned [Music] do foreign oh gosh i'm having i'm having the best time working on this this particular project it's just so much fun so here's what i need everybody to do i need everybody to say there is no god like jehovah do it again there is no god like jehovah one more time there is no god like the whole see if you know this one [Music] so [Music] please so [Music] oh um [Music] [Applause] guys [Music] so [Music] [Applause] yeah thank you you can be seated thanks for participating okay i gotta talk to you a minute uh what if i told you that i had documented proof but i'm an approval seeker yeah for about seven years ago now my goodness gracious actually it's going on eight years ago i had for a lack of a better way to say it meltdown i just had no idea who i was didn't know where in the world i was didn't know why i was and god placed me in a place right up the road from here in acworth georgia it was a place called hope quest i had to go there to find some answers try to figure out who i was because i didn't know i should have been the happiest guy in the world but i wasn't i was miserable just miserable now never will forget when i got there i thought i've made a mistake i don't need to be here because bottom line i was in this place with drug addicts alcoholics everything you could imagine the more i spent time there the more i realized they were my brothers now i didn't experience any of those things that they went through but i got to know people i never will forget going into my counselor's office sitting down and him giving me this test oh it's humiliating it was just humiliating they would ask me the same question four or five different times and they would word it different they did that so i wouldn't lie it was humiliating the whole time i'm taking it i i'm talking to myself going how did how did i get here little do i know i'd find out before long i remember two weeks past and he called me into his office he had a smile on his face you gotta understand i was really bitter at this time and when i walked in and seen that smile on his face i remember going in and i said why are you so happy and he chuckled he said sit down i'm excited because today you get to find out who you are you get to become aware of who you are i never will forget sitting down in the seat i remember just plopping down in it and he's going through through this test you know he takes it and he thumbs through it he says jeff says right here you are off the chain when they say you're off the chain that's you're off the chain when it comes to being an approval seeker well i kind of know what that is kind of knew at the time but i wanted to hear the medical definition now remember him looking at me and saying well you find your value in what people think about you that's a drag he flipped through the test he says it says here you have unrelenting standards i said what is that he said well you're a bit of a perfectionist well see that didn't resonate with me because i ain't never felt like i'm sorry i have never felt like i have gotten there i've always find i'm picking apart everything i do and he kind of chuckled again he said well he said being a perfectionist and an approval seeker is a terrible combination just really making me feel good about myself at this point he said no doubt you get in a room and you practice and you practice and you practice trying to get that song just the way you want it so when you get in front of people you'll get their approval and by the time you get in front of those people you are so stressed out thinking you need their approval you fall way short of perfection man a light bulb came on because i always had this anxiety when i would get in front of people what if they don't stand up at the end of my song what if they don't clap for me at the end of my song i know it's sad stuff you know i said well what am i supposed to do he kind of laughed he said he said you're aware of it now he said now you know how to combat it he said here's what i want you to do he come over and got me by the shirt wasn't you know jerking me but he lifted me up out of the seat he walked me over to the window and he said you see the picnic table down there over the hill and i said yeah he said tomorrow morning i want you to get up and i want you to go there and i want you to sit i don't want you to take a pepsi i don't want you to take a book i just want you to go there and sit and i said you want me knowing i can't sit still you want me to go sit on a picnic table all day he said yeah that's what i want you to do so i left his office just totally aggravated got up the next morning and i remember it was the change of season it was um in march and it was going from winter time into springtime so there were some dead leaves in the trees and i could hear him rustling as i was going down over the hill and i remember i didn't sit at the picnic table i sat on the picnic table because i was going to show him i hope you're looking from up there in your office you know so i sit down on the picnic table and have any of you ever cried so much you just cry yourself out you can't cry no more that's where i got i got to the place where i couldn't cry anymore and i never will forget i started hearing the leaves rustle i started hearing that water smack against that bank it was a little creek and it looked so cold and clean you know it was about to be springtime it just sparkled i knew water made noise but i never listened to it birds i never knew how many different bird songs there were because i never took the time to listen oh my goodness gracious for our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin so that we through him might become the righteousness of god he knew no sin you know when a baby is born how innocent and perfect they are it was more than that he made him to be sin for our sake more and more as i get older this word keeps popping into my head awareness i go to the the mirror now and i look into the mirror and i look into my eyes and i see only what me and god know and it's then that i realize how badly i need a savior in my life i'll tell you something he loves us you don't have to clean your act up to come to him he wants you the way you are and it bothers me to think that i've gotta take a bath before i can come in and pray to my god that ain't the way it works he loves you with an it's unrelenting love it's it's unbelievable it's overwhelming to think he knows me and he still loves me that is amazing so now when i sit down and play it's by the grace of god that i get to do what i do why um i'm sure we all have stories of last year how did we make it through last year through the grace of god if you think that caught him off guard the things that happened last well you're sorely mistaken i want to do a song for you that uh i think this is uh this is [Music] so [Music] so [Music] [Music] do [Music] so [Music] do [Music] [Music] it's all right no i um the imitation now um i just give this to you well has jeff blessed your heart tonight amen do this for me let's stand together tonight jeff jeff just his talent blows my mind every time i sit and listen to him play but it's more what jeff said while he was while he was talking to us tonight just real and his story tonight is real and i wonder if there's somebody in the room tonight who feels like jeff was eight years ago when the lord has to get your attention and cause us to first of all recognize who he is so we can see who we it's a hard reality sometimes isn't it because when we get god in the proper place it causes us to see who we are and the first place that we have to see ourselves is as sinners because that's who we all are the bible tells us that romans 3 23 we memorize it as children it says for all have sinned and come short of the glory of god you've got to recognize that first and then when you recognize that you recognize there's no way to get to a holy god except for the way that he provided through jesus christ we come to know him as our personal savior maybe you're here tonight and you've never come to that realization what better place what better time than tonight maybe you're a believer maybe you know the lord as your savior but you're like jeff you don't really know who you are maybe you don't realize that who you are first of all is that you're created in the image of an almighty god who created you in a special way to do something special for his honor and his glory and for his purpose through your life and maybe tonight you need to come to a realization let's do this tonight i'm going to ask my dad to come to the front jeff is playing let's just put me in e4 [Music] i think we all know this together just sing this again if you need to come tonight maybe you need to find a place here at the altar and pray maybe you need to come and find yourself tonight and find the lord here at this altar sing this justice one just as i am [Music] thee [Music] second verse just as [Music] to [Music] love you [Music] we're going to have prayer here at the altar in just a moment if you'd like to join these others this invitation is open you come this this altar is open we're going to pray together and share these burdens the scripture said we're as believers called upon to bear one another's burdens if you do not know christ is your savior you may know about him but friend the difference the difference between knowing about the lord and knowing the lord is the difference between heaven and hell there are a lot of people in this world that know about the lord but there's never been a time in their life when they personally called upon him to receive him i told you when i was an 11 year old boy i grew up in church i had i had heard all the bible stories we went every sunday morning sunday night wednesday night every revival meeting we did all that i knew about the lord but i didn't know the lord my pastor came by that evening and he said greg do you believe that jesus is the son of god yes sir i do do you believe he died on the cross for your sin yes i do do you believe he rose yet yes yesterday he said that but would you do something about it see i've never done anything about it i said yes sir i will [Music] i know you don't have to be on your knees to accept christ but at that moment that's what i sense that i needed to do and i knelt down at 201 brian road i knelt down lord jesus i do believe that you are god's son and i believe you died on the cross for my sin i believe you rose from the dead for me lord jesus i do now ask you to forgive my sin i receive you as my savior and it not only changed my life it changed my eternal destiny i found out what it was to become a new creature and i mean 11 year old boy i knew what it was to become a new creature in christ i want to invite you this evening if you do not know the lord jesus take him at his word him that cometh unto me he said i will in no wise cast out he never turned away anyone who in a sincere heart said lord i need to be saved and i receive you as my savior let's pray together father you have heard the petitions at this altar this evening you've heard the petitions of hearts that have gone up but people still standing in their places here in this sanctuary lord you know those that have heavy hearts this evening [Music] you know about problems that are so big that we can't solve them ourselves lord you know about people that we're burdened for people in our family that are lost unprepared to meet you unprepared for eternity lord we ask tonight for your mercy and your grace to intervene in those situations that we are powerless to change help us lord to be wise enough to realize when we can change something and give us grace to make that change but lord in those circumstances we're weak circumstances we ask you to intervene lord for those members of families that do not know the lord jesus as their personal savior we ask tonight that the holy spirit would move in their hearts to make them to see themselves as you see us you see us lord trying to to work out our own salvation and and become righteous and you said all of our righteousness is filthy rags in your sight help us lord that we would humble ourselves before you lord i pray that that you would draw souls to the lord jesus to trust him and be saved thank you lord for the testimony of your grace that we've heard again this evening reminding us lord that your mercies and your grace are new every morning no matter how far we've gone you tell us there's more of your grace than there is of our sin thank you lord i pray that you'll use us as a testimony of who you are and the gift of salvation that you desire to give to every individual in jesus name amen please be seated have you enjoyed jeff tonight hey did you bring the william tell overture and he'll pilot me i can i know i you asked me if i wanted you to play the offering and you said you wanted
