[Music] to honor the presence of father your attention the New Testament book of 1st Corinthians chapter 15 first Corinthians chapter 15 birthdays - I see tonight I wish that speak maybe only got this she raised up attached to the Daniel's family team we're gonna be in the beginning your first tip first chapter 15 beginning at the beginning of the first 10 the other person's capacity avenge you don't say wait for me all right well they're what we tonight didn't take version that's the code word Authority this is what it says but [Applause] [Music] as [Music] but grace of God I am what I am please hope that we spend together on this Sunday afternoon I simply want to talk something subject thank God for His grace thank God for His grace your grace and mercy probably through this moment because of you I want to thank you and praise you too for your grace and mercy brought me through those words on the words of a very familiar gospel song recorded by Mississippi man's choir many years ago those words that bless the people of God a very special intangible ways over the chasm of the years because those words reminded us of the generous and beneficent had a newcomer that has so graciously credit up to us that which we do not deserve and as you know back from us the penalty we should have received our God has enough credit to us each one of us his mercy and His grace his mercy that has been so entelechy impressed of what our lives that none of us could persist it because we be woke up this morning we woke up to brand new mercies mercy of the Lord and with the Lord our God decides to hold back his and the wrath and give his children another chance in spite of the mistakes they made and the road in which they have been thank God his mercy tonight because I understand that God didn't have to let it be the way he did but I hope beyond our fault and so I need somebody that I ought to thank God for mercy and mercy is when God just says I love you too much to make you pay for the energy and you were saying so I'm gonna give you another opportunity to get right what you got wrong last time the psalmist in the new in the Old Testament are so excited about the gift of mercy that over and over in the book of songs you'll hear these words only thanks to the Lord for he is good for his mercy it to us forever Psalm 105 Psalm 106 - Psalm 107 which in verse 2 says that the redeemed of the Lord say so believe indeed from the hand of the enemy all the way the son 118 verses 1 and 29 the psalmist is record the same thing over and over and over again oh won't you thanks to the Lord for he is good for his mercy endures forever and every time you think about how God withheld his head [Music] Jeremiah says it is of the Lord's mercies that we are not consumed for his Compassion's fail not they are new every morning great is died yes if you didn't know Jeremiah's report if you didn't know someone have been five through 107 over 118 I got a funny feeling you heard of Psalm 23 it's grateful that you've been able to live on the mercies of God that has sustained you even you should know another way the mercy of God is a wonderful Old Testament proper I won't have a possibility given to us according to the Bible that helps us to understand and just how much God's and steadfast love follows us down overtakes us if they hate of our lives the child of God don't get so consumed with the mercy of God in the Old Testament that you are similar to the New Testament and find out something about the grace of God and because the grace of God which permeates the pages of the pericope of the New Testament used it was a proper to celebrate the fact that although God will holds his hand of wrath that's mercy sometimes he gives to us what we know we don't deserve over and over and over the sour God tonight I would thank God for His grace because grace is what the Saints taught me was the unmerited favor of the Lord this way God just brought you up just cuz he just knew his child couldn't benefit from it if only he could provide and so he grants to us his grace as a matter of fact Paul says that His grace is sufficient for me this strength is made perfect in my weakness that somebody ought to thank God that he just keeps on lavish 15 he lets them know something about the grace of God that has been lavishly displayed in their lives that God has a generous gift that they do not deserve and can never live long enough to really appreciate it's all about God's grace tonight because when I think about 151 years of the life of a black Baptist Church in the city [Music] [Applause] you understand they talked to some Jesus mistress and they talked away out of no way [Music] [Applause] we stand by which we have been and offices you need to know this the gospel helps us to understand is the first one about super messenger almost you need to understand his word [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Applause] [Music] [Music] you see anyone [Applause] [Applause] before he started reading photo this is according to scripture and he does have that what Paul is saying is that every promise you find in the strips it's good enough to wait on till God [Applause] I love you [Applause] [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Applause] because you gotta keep sewing because we have [Applause] [Applause] Oh [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] in the room [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] our witness [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] didn't grade [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music]
