anniversary can you believe it 41 years ago this coming sunday god used the late great james henry turner and his lovely wife mother willa dean turner to preach out the upper room church of god in christ and here we are 41 years later oh my going strong having gone from one church building to the next building going from one church building to building another church building to building where we are right now and god is moving by his spirit as never before and we're excited to be standing on the word of god and we have not changed or moved away from god's truth people have told me down through the years man if you keep preaching certain things you you're not going to make it you won't survive this won't happen and that won't happen and i i've always given them the same response well it just won't happen then but i'm going to stand on the word of god well i tell you what god proved them to be wrong and he proved me to be right if you stand on god's truth you don't have to change it and alter it to go along with the whims of society as a matter of fact we're called not to a preacher asked me one time says said to me preacher what do we do when people don't want the word when they don't want the bible when they don't want the word taught when they when they're moving away from how do we present it in a manner what do we do well we so that we can present it what they will accept it ah you know what i told them uh i'm gonna tell you what paul told timothy even though they don't want it he said preach the word preach the word and be instant in season and out of season and he said the time will come when men will not endure sound doctrine that is they won't listen to god's truth they don't want it it's not that it's not their cup of tea because it don't go along with what they want to do so always what paul said that he said that they would multiply heap to themselves teachers who would tell them what they want to hear so how do we respond what do we do here's what we do we stick with god's truth we don't change it one eye order and we leave everything else up to the god of the bible now my friends i hope you see on the screen here you're going to
