the best preacher but I had worse either if where I'm from folks Amen you know y'all remind me of a fellow who man who had a son young entrepreneur innovative intuitive and excited by his father this exotic bird rare expensive bird a collector's item and he shipped the bird to his father as a gift surprise overnight and didn't hear from his father he knew the birds should have gotten there didn't hit from adop father two or three days he called his father he said dad did you receive that bird I sent you that's oh yeah yeah he showed taste good and the son said tastes good what what do you mean that bird was round expensive collector's item that bird spoke three languages daddy said what he should have said something and Church of Christ phone if God's been good to you you ought to say something you glad to be in the one Lord one faith or one but you ought to say something my Bible still says in Psalm 107 let the Redeem of the Lord now if your souls Church of Christ folk ought to say so it's onerous or privilege it's a pleasure to be invited to be a participant in this fortieth Crusade for Christ here in the great state of Texas and the great city of Fort Worth and we are thankful to God for allowing us this privilege I'm honored to serve at the invitation of dr. Daniel Harrison our national director who's now sliding off the scene along with dr. John Dansby and those gentlemen have done a yeoman's job for for give him a hand praise and I just appreciate how they have conducted the lowest business I'm thankful for the vision of dr. Harrison - I want to see lost souls saved and what a dynamic duo Batman and Robin Harrison and Dan Smith and now they have passed the spiritual Patong onto a young preacher from Chicago dr. Harrison is Vito Corleone the Godfather he's passing on to Michael Corleone who's going to try to organize the five families in the Church of Christ that would be a difficult test but he couldn't they could not have selected a better man and preacher and to those who are holes here in Fort Worth all the congregations by every matrix you have done all of your preparatory work and you have prayed and fasted and prepared the city that Christ may be glorified and the devil be horrified I'll be remiss if I did not mention that I stand on the shoulders of great preachers like dr. Jack Evans who for years was the staple of this crusade for Christ but but like the way of all men none of us would be able to do what we do always and so it is incumbent upon us to do what we can while we can and then once we pass the baton we all not forget about those who brought us this far so well and so let's keep the Evans family in our prayers and let us never forget and always remember the contributions that dr. Evans has made to the crusade for christ also to dr. Orpheus Heywood who has also been a staple here at the crusade we certainly appreciate him in his efforts at the crusade for christ nama love i don't have nothing new but it's all true i say in the words of paul and first corinthians two and one i come not with excellency of speech nor do i stand in the wisdom of men but i'm determined like paul say this say nothing among you except Jesus Christ and him crucified if you would be so beneficent ly kind allow me to summon your senses and invite your intellect to the fortieth book in you Bible the Gospel according to Matthew the 16th chapter and I'll run the boo point will be verse number 13 Matthew the 16th chapter meet me a beat me the verse number 13 a very familiar passage of scripture to those who have significant tenure in the Church of Christ if you have been successful in the navigational process and if your optic nerve is fastened and PhysX fixated to Matthew the 16th chapter and the 13 Perez confirm it with the heart a hearty Amen the Bible says and when Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi he asked his disciples saying who do men say that I the Son of Man am and they said some say you'll never base your eternity on what some say the son says some say thou art John the Baptist some say you Elias others believe you Jeremiah are one of the prophets he said a neighbor who whom say ye that I am turning to the twelve Simon Peter answered and said thou art the Christ the Son of the Living God and jesus answered and said in him blessed art thou simon barjona for flesh and blood have not revealed it unto thee but my father which is in heaven and I sent indeed thou art Peter and upon this rock I will build my church and the gates of Hell shall not prevail against it cry and his church is that all right I wish I had my grandson here with me we have a four and a half year old grandson and he sits on the second row every Sunday where I preach and when the members are acting like some of y'all acting this morning he's just bellies out preach Papa and if you don't encourage me I just learned how to encourage myself I might have an idea just say preach Papa beloved will blessed to read from the majestic pen of the first of the synoptic gospel writers by the name of Matthew the son of Alphaeus doop listicle ii known as levi in the scriptures there's one time dubious and hated tax collector now become a disciple pupil and follower of Jesus to Christ it is Matthew who records this major incident in the archives of the gospel look at the clarity look at the clairvoyance and the congruence and concomitant way Jesus declares that he would bill construct erect and established ekklesia the church that bears his name take a take a nostalgic stroll with me 2,000 years ago to the cobblestone streets of Palestine when Jesus the Christ arrives at the coasts of Caesarea Philippi that that great city named for two great Roman leaders Caesar and Philip Jesus conducts an impromptu public opinion poll he says what's the word on the street what what what did you hear he was great by what is the street committee said who the men say that I the Son of Man now he asks this rhetorical question already knowing who he was for in Matthew chapter 3 when Jesus was baptized at the Jordan River and God himself showed up at the baptism of his son and God spoke with an audible voice and declared this is my beloved son so Jesus already knew who he was but he wanted to see what the people thought about who he was every 90 interns will not just be satisfied about what is said in our four walls we all don't find out one of the people in the community saying about the Church of Christ because we can't save them until we learn to serve them amen belongs there priest pop up well beloved you saw and read with me that the disciples began to engage in what we call some say religion and that's a dangerous territory and platform to build your eternity I'm about what Big Momma said what Madea said about what Pookie and ray-ray said you need to find out what dust says the Lord and here's what the public opinion poll revealed some say you are John the Baptist now I know why they said that because they probably had some physical characteristics just alike you do know that John the Baptist and Jesus were first cousins for Mary and Elizabeth were seats were sisters so they probably looked at him and saying you look like John the Baptist others say you remind us of Elijah I can see why they said that they Elijah before miracles as a matter of fact at Mount Carmel prisons all over help me was it not Elijah who called fire down from heaven so that knew he work miracles and then saw Jesus work miracles so you remind us of Elijah others said no you remind me of Jeremiah that weeping prophet and you know Jesus we remember you went to the tomb of Lazarus and the shortest verse in the Pipers said jesus wept so you remind me a Jeremiah others grew asleep in a figurative say we don't know you're just one of the prophets oh I wish I had a church in here pop while preaching hard I just need a little help here and Jesus said now I turn to you my twelve disciples and I want to know from you Who I am and if you want to know who Jesus is you gotta ask somebody who know it I wish I had a church in here that's why you need to find out about Christ his church and salvation and you need to go to the Church of Christ because we are members of Jesus Church others are saying stuff but we ought to preach what thus saith the Lord y'all know he says y'all will know me best fellows who y'all say I am yo y'all were there when I took a pedestrian stroll and made the water into a sidewalk and walked on the water y'all were there when the maitre d grossly underestimated the crowd and the wine ran out y'all were there jesus said when I look at a pot of water the water looked back at me I look back at the water the water brush red and turn the wine y'all was there when I Spit on the ground and took some clean and put it on some clean I wish I had a church in here y'all was there when a woman had been sick for 12 long years folk through the crowd and touched the hem of my garment and it wasn't because she touched my him it's because to him was on him that she was made whole y'all were there when I took two fish and five first purpose and I had a free fish fry in the desert with no grease y'all were there when I opened the Red Lobster and had a buffet of y'all over there when I would to Lazarus grave and rigor mortis had set in and I said Lazarus come forth who y'all say y'all making me insecure am i doing alright who y'all say you don't know me that they're talking about what they think but y'all know me who y'all say I am Peter said thou art the Christ I always had to church it here I'm about to get happy here now thou art the Christ the Son of the Living God I need to drop a little in the Church of Christ we serve a living God if Garlin dead will not be there dead folk can't serve no living God thou art the Christ the Son of the Living God blessed art thou simon barjona and bar is just an aramaic prefix that means son of blessed are thou Simon son of Jonah for flesh and blood have not revealed this to you you didn't get that from your cerebellum you didn't get that from your cerebral cortex you didn't get that from your thalamus or your hypothalamus or your pineal gland you didn't get that from your medulla oblongata God revealed it unto you and upon j-rok the he is the son of God the anointed christ the chosen one the only one upon that rock is the foundation for the church to be built and through the spillage of his blood on Calvary Jesus built the church that bears his name folks that's God's response to man's sin condition that's the scheme of human Redemption when sin became an epidemic and then a pandemic in the world now God has left us a way to get back to him only through His Son Jesus the Christ let us concentrate and allow me to use your mind as a canvas to paint a portrait and a picture of the church that Jesus built it's a little-known fact maybe it's even breaking news the some of y'all that Jesus didn't build for one church and the church I'm talking about is this Church in the Bible I'm not talking about the one you can live stream sometimes on TV I'm not talking about the church they're talking about in the barber shop I'm not talking about the church that they pontificating about in the beauty salon and in the nail shop I'm not talking about the church on social media and on talk shows and on CNN and Fox News and MSNBC and ESPN I'm not talking about the church on Instagram and Facebook and snapchat and Twitter I'm talking about the church in the Bible that Jesus built Church in the Bible ought to be morally good academically prepared socially involved in doctrinally sound I didn't come here today the posture position and Panda I didn't even come to be politically correct we ought to be dr. Lee sound because the church don't belong to us it belongs to Jesus Christ in the church would do is not doctrinally sound go to the Church of your choice is not doctrinally sound worship it on the Sabbath day y'all scared I'm the one doing the preacher if you scare say you scared worshiping on the Sabbath day is not doctrine aside speaking in tongues and cursing in English is not dr. Lee sound there's Bibles in every church but not all churches are in the Bible in the Church of Christ we have no book but the Bible we have no Creed but Christ we do Bible things in a Bible way and we call Bible things with a Bible name we preach to proclaim we teach to explain we have classes for information we have worship for inspiration preach Papa that's why John said in John 5:39 then all of us are the search the Scriptures don't set your heart don't set your family tree don't search or emotions don't search your bank account don't search your academic regalia the Bible says search the Scriptures for in them you think you have eternal life but the you are they that testify of me if you want to know about Jesus Christ and His Church you got to go to the Bible and I heard him say upon this rock I will build my church in a true church in a true church in a true church in a church er nature nature nature in a matter even will not church I might run some of y'all out of here you see that's why Jesus said is mine all mine notice the verbage notice the lexicon notice the language upon this rock a rock is sturdy it's steady you can build on a rock you can't build on sand it won't pass inspection preach Papa a rock Messiah provides protection a rock provide shade a rock you can hide behind a rock and somebody's shootin that should get behind a rock if you stand on how to do a bullet to go through a door but it won't go through a rock upon this rock and I noticed the beverage I didn't go too far in school but I stayed there long enough to graduate he said I singular will that's future feel erect or construct my possession now Church singular can we back that thing up alone real future feel erect or construct your children over my knee my possessiveness is all man Church singular everything in that verse signifies one and truly gets to the gates of hell so Jesus says in essence there's one way to heaven and a whole heap of ways to hell and the gates of Hell will not prevail I guess it not them not you am i doing we miss read that he said against them hell will not prevail against it he didn't say hell won't get in it he said hell won't prevail he didn't say hell won't be around it didn't say hell won't fight against it but he'll win treasure Christ foe you are the rest in the fact that hell can't stop this church that's why Jesus taught us our salvation is not dependent upon us it's dependent upon him and the revelation made by Simon Peter that you are the Christ the Son the only begotten Son then eret son the sinless son upon that truth jesus said I will build my church that's why we got to get out of our own selves and you are not members you got to stop being prideful and arrogant and let this mind be in you that was in Christ Jesus you remember Paul wrote the church at Philippi chapter 2 beginning around verse number 5 Jesus said let this mind be in you that was also in Christ Jesus you see I need his mind instead of using my mind my mind says if it feels good do it his mind says be not deceived God is not mocked my mind says get all you can why you can this man says what shall it profit a man if he gains the whole way and lose his own soul my mind said I gotta see it to believe it this man said we walk by faith and not by sight my mind says all roads lead to heaven His Word says jesus said I am the way the truth goes to the Father shop by me my mind says anyway will do this man says there's a way that seems right to a man but the ear leads to destruction my mind says keep all you have and don't share with nobody his mind says deal and it shall be given unto you my mind says get them if they get you this word says vengeance is mine saith the Lord my mind says trust my job trust my education trust my family his word says trust the Lord with all your heart and lean not to your own understanding in all thy ways acknowledge him and he shall direct your path my mind says my problem is to be my burden is too heavy my mouth is too tall but his words say trust and never doubt and he'll surely bring you out my mind says follow tradition his word says follow the Bible my mind says the devil is always missing but the word says the Lord is always blessing that's why you got to have Christ man we don't need to preach what we want to preach we don't need to go where we want to go we don't need to wish him how we want to wish him we got to follow what he says for the church belongs to him he only built one I explained the verbage not on God God let me drop something God never made one of anything don't let me mess with your theology see when you perfect you don't have to redo nothing see I have to go get another card another suit love the TV another house cuz stuff to God don't make nothing that he got to redo y'all don't y'all scared son let me help you God has never made more than one of anything God made one man he made one sense the woman came out of the man and then the rest of us came out of the woman that man had one wife God commissioned north to be a one-off that all had one door that all had one window I was ahead of chest I'm glad to get happening here now in Jerusalem there was one temple you only got cried on me God's got one son his son built one church there's one Lord one faith and one baptism God's got one heaven and the Devils got one hell you got one soul I need to get rid of seat to my seat some of y'all lookin like you're mad at me if you're not a member but the church was built on the truth that Jesus is God's Son now quit hoggin which I tell for packet flow don't argue with the truth you can't do nothing against the truth you can only do something fun the truth I don't care how mad you kidding me I'm telling you the truth you might get some man to leave him burning rubber all the way back to Dallas and tomorrow on my way to the airport I'm askin to be driving us stopping i'ma holla why you changing your top instill the truth you might get so mad at me you go out there and slam your door with such velocity you break your window and tomorrow when I get the Huntsville Alabama I'm gonna call back and tell you it's still the truth you might even get so mad at me that you want to come up here and do me some body at home and after I take my 9-millimeter next Tyler that's your fuel number walk by your coffin and say it's still the truth you can't you know they tried to drown the truth one day at the Red Sea God opened the Red Sea and let truth walk across on dry ground they tried to eat up true for the Lions then God put liens on a crash diet and true survive all night long they tried to burn troop up in a fire God Lord the thermostat and stepped in with Jesus and truth survive the fiery furnace then they'll troop on the cross one day and truth was in the grave Friday night all day Saturday and Sunday though truth got up with all power all power in his head Jesus built the church on the foundation that he's God's Son it's a sure foundation 2nd Peter 2:19 the foundation of God standeth sure having this seal the Lord knoweth them that it is are you tonight if you know the Lord you better know make sure the Lord know you there's some folk I know but they don't know me the Lord knows them better here than everyone that name is the name of Christ depart from iniquity you see beloved the foundation and the founder I say only to quit alliterations I drop on the foundation was built on Jesus is the Christ the church was not built on miracles church was not built on blessings and prosperity come here close I love it we got one of the best brother Mason is here today but the church was built on singing church was not built even on your preacher church wasn't built on tithes and offerings Church was not built on bricks and blocks Church is not built on laminated beams and not wall-to-wall carpet the church is not built on your corporation papers and the bylaws of the state of Texas the church was built on the truth that Jesus is the Christ and when they crucified Him there's one tragic mistake the soldiers made when they nailed him to a cross and they did all right when they nailed his feet but they shouldn't nailed his hands because anytime you put nails in the hands of a carpenter he's gonna be or something I wish I had a church in here they didn't know he was a carpenter and when you put nails in the hands of a carpenter he was severe so the church he named it when he claimed it and he claimed it when he named it was built on a rock it's built on a sure foundation I'm in the Church of Christ because of the foundation and then as I sneak to receipt I'm in the Church of Christ because of the founder he said I build this excellency this assembly this church it was built by Jesus owned by Jesus run by Jesus he's the head of it he bought it he's the head he's coming back for and what he built the church is a living organism come in church form he did not build an organization he built an organism don't need to read your Bible stop once and housewives of DeSoto and read your Bible I'm gonna tell y'all this I'm a proud member of the Church of Christ but I'm not a member of the Church of Christ incorporated organization I'm a member of the organism see you can tell from folk in an organization the organization decides I was wrong but were you in this living organism the head of it decides HEIs wrong jesus said I will build my church and the gates of Hell shall not prevail against it he's the only one qualified Abraham couldn't do it he lied and said Sarah was his sister and not his wife nor can build it he had a propensity for gin and juice Jacob couldn't be on the church he's stolen his brothers birthright David couldn't build a church he was a player from the Himalaya Elijah couldn't build the church because he was a scary cat I ran from Jezebel Jeremiah couldn't build a church he was a paranoid schizophrenia and cried like a baby Paul couldn't build a church he was too busy removing thorns from his side Peter couldn't build a church he was too busy custard for God only Jesus could build the church that bears his name I heard you I hear you're too long let me tell you now seek to mercy brother preacher you've been telling us about Christ and His Church you said is built on some irrefutable ungettable facts indisputable that Jesus is the Christ the only begotten of God the Father that's the foundation and he built it with the spinach of his own blood according to his own words he built one jesus said will build my church you go to the third grade and know that's one person building one child and since it belongs to him that's why he's got his name my children got my name my wife got my name home in the home but she ain't got no hyphenated 1/2 name 1/2 check I wish I had a church in here the church ought to have his name well Berliner is one thing remaining we found that biblically to Jesus and Jesus alone built the church we found out is built on the irrefutable on get around the book indisputable fact that he is the son of God how do I get in this church you can't join this ain't no Country Club your joint this ain't a fraternity you can't plant y'all you got quad on I don't care if you got Donald Trump money money you can't buy your way in I don't care if you Jerry Jones and on jail well you can't bring that in the crash world you can't buy your win you can't cry your win you can't sign your way in you can't lie your win there's only one way to get in this church you gotta be back time bear it submerge immerse in water ah I wish I had a chat - you're like Church of Christ boat was a man y'all still believe acts 2:38 everybody needs repent and be baptized everybody the remission removal and eradication of your sins that's why Paul says I sneak to Mercy Paul said Paul said in Galatians 3:27 as many you have put on Christ have been baptized into Christ have what put on Christ so the only way to put him on and to be baptized am i doing right the only way you can put him on going to seminary school won't put him on the only way to put on Christ is to be back I see y'all ain't got it I better tell you all the story see anybody told you in a different didn't tell you the truth and see some time for been chasing stuff that ain't real you know you might be honest you might be sincere you might be a

for years and years been chasing some ain't real and like that dog when you find out in a real you need appreciation you need to put on Christ the waters ready it's essential it's not it's not a byproduct is he central to salvation and baptism precedes selfish you must be baptized to be saved you got to put on Christ put him on in baptism that's the only way you can put him on many years ago but I'm done I'm a native Floridian I got married in 1982 my beautiful bride and we were poor didn't have money for honeymoon two three years later we finally food on the ma'am and I get on a cruise ship and her cousin was a highway patrolman in Miami Florida and we got there their land so this back in the early eighties you could do it then you probably can't do it now and I was at his house on V he said well just come ride with me and I got in the patrol car with him since I wasn't doing nothing I'm on vacation and we went up and down i-95 and he stopped a few folk stopped a few illegals and they didn't have no papers and he said their names show me your license and there's an no snow English no English he showed him his gun he said yes sir I got the last one it's amazing how people straighten up we rode around a while longer we even I didn't know it was true but when the crisper cream hot light came on we turn in there we were in the car I'm done I'm telling you why you got to put on Christ I'm telling your story because that's what Jesus did Luke said talk he nothing without power was I heard the radio call I'm in the car and said that this trooper officer Brown the Florida Power was moving power lines across I 95 they said come here to a certain spot and we need you to stop the traffic for about ten minutes so Florida power can move the power lines so we raised to where they said he got out the car he stepped into the northbound lane of i-95 he's got on his uniform a badge I had and that friend that sticketh closer than a brother he steps out in the northbound lane puts his hand up and all the traffic stops but I'm 95 his northbound and southbound he says to me Linnet you stop the south back now don't get lost in this arena I'm telling you why you got to put on Christ but I got on Bermuda shorts flip-flops a golf shirt and the Hawaiian hat and I took momentary leash of my senses I stepped I saw they stopped when he put his head up I went the southbound I didn't slow down this better I jump out the rain he comes up with a there's a interchange everything and now you can step back into the lanes of life and tell the devil stop don't come no fun and he won't stop because of you yeah but he knows who you belong to yeah but you gotta put him on yeah you gotta put him on in baptism yeah so let it be written so let it be done the grass withers the flower fadeth away but the words of our God shall stand forever let me invite you to put him on all you need to do salvation ain't complicated you don't need an extensive vocabulary you don't need a matriculate from my Ivy League school you don't need to know Greek in Hebrew you struggling with English you know all you need to do is hear that he died for yourself and serve I curious ain't no manias death he died in your place you just need to breathe that you believe everything else yeah and you ain't gotta understand that you believe it I don't want to say how a black cow eat green grass makes white milk to turn the yellow butter a lot of stuff I don't understand you don't have to understand just believe he died yeah repent turn from your sins and your ways of degradation Jesus said in Luke 13 to 3 I tell your name except you repent you shall all likewise perish and then you need to be active in your service you need to confess inaudible vocal voice I believe what Peter declare that he is the Christ the Son of the Living God you don't confess what you want you confess what Peter just and then you must be baptized not sprinkle not pull don't baptize no babies you must be buried in water that's where you put him on and it will change your life and it will add you to the Church of Christ if you here today and your subject and you're willing to leave here better than you came of you watching via the internet you need to get over him and be baptized today for today is the day of salvation and right now is the accepted time y'all ready member

he had given thanks and break it he said take eat this is my body which is broken for you this do in remembrance of me after the same manner also he took the cup when he had supped saying this cup is the New Testament in my blood this do ye as offer you drink it and remember to me of course often this you eat of this bread and drink of the cup you do show the Lord's death till he come wherefore who swells to eat of the bread and drink of the cup of the law unworthy shall be guilty of dividing blood of the Lord but let a man examine himself and so let him eat of that bread and drink of the cup for he that eateth and drinketh unworthily youth and drink of damnation to himself not discerning the lost body blood and sisters pray with me Heavenly Father we thank you for your son's body and
