another person is already on would wait for that individual to receive the announcement of their desired shore and out of courtesy press the desired floor as they were the ones nearest to the control panel my father boarded the elevator announced his flaw the general did not press the control panel he stepped off of the elevator turned to my father with his palm turned upward towards the ceiling and gestured and said to my father sir is up to you while this might have come across initially as one being insensitive and anti-social and discourages his gesture and statement carried with us and hints for life's philosophy and some theological ramification yeah and that some people will always be still stuck static and stagnant in the same old stuff because they're all too dependent on other people to get them where they need to go lord i contend tonight that the god that we serve can get you where you want to go but some things he leads up to you god can answer your prayers god can lift

during an annual moment wherein they celebrated the passport christopher and theologians and commentaries call it the last or lord's son during this moment jesus knowing that his tenure in this mundane domain called earth was nearing an end and upon making this announcement to his disciples it created a move of melancholy among those who gathered around the suffolk and having been or catapulted upon the canvas of this firmness and despair and near depression because christ was about to depart he knew he needed to say a word to inspire be no more outpatient certainty for the city by just touching the culture of the christ and be healed of their infirmary they know now that there would be no more interruption of funeral processions and being converted into family reunions he's about to go he senses now that their tears are about to be churned and he does words of consolation by saying let not your heart beat something you facebook [Applause] it was rough enough for them with jesus present it would be even tougher and harder for them in that jesus was about to default [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] landscape and observe the social economic and social religious status of things throughout not only our cities our states our nation but the world itself it will jerk [Applause] it will trouble your heart to see how that humanity can come to sin to such a corrupt level to the extent that they would do anything to anybody just to get to where they want to be it will break your heart jesus christ saying he'll be preaching your heart be true he rendered the word dr brown [Applause] [Music] [Applause] there is an associated word of an english derivative that we pronounce cardiac c-a-r-d-i-a-c or cardiology it is that science and breaks the medical science whose object and subject of study is that forum that pumped the life giving strength throughout your anatomy called blood but that's not what he was talking about there is what is called heart disease it is when the blood flow throughout the anatomy is impeded in that the heart is weak and the blood flow therefore is such a quickly weak and accounts for one to not only be anemic but weak

environment you've got to realize that your future is far superior to your presence [Applause] [Music] you do agree that it's rough now it's tough now it's hard it's hideous it's hideous and cherished and i know they're going around here saying it's hard out here for him [Applause] it's hard when you help everybody nobody helps you it's hard when you run to everybody's rescue when you're in me nobody comes to you for help and the only one that's coming that you want is coming to tell you ain't nobody coming it's hard when you're trying [Applause] don't think that this is all there is it gets there do you believe that it gets bigger with negativism and believe and embrace positivism and believe that optimism that despite how bad things are in prison eventually they're going to get back i believe that the crooked can still be made straight i believe that the lower places can still be engaged if you believe that god can bring to high places you know i still believe that the peace of the world can [Applause] [Applause] that's why jesus said in verse 2 in my father's house of any man and what i saw never said let not your heart be true your future is better than it is can i ask your question [Music] um now this question references your pre-jesus days before you let them know how many of you all remember your days you used to drink you still usually [Music] we have nothing in common [Applause] [Music] [Applause] from out there and save the soul that has forgiven you [Applause] club hopping [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] remember old english [Applause] when old english speaker came on they launched a series of commercials to market their product one of which featured a fisherman on a lecture who had been caught his catch and cleaned his catch and while cooking his catch raised up a can of old english beer and said before the camera it doesn't get any better than this [Applause] [Music] [Applause] and it's got to get better than this and all we have are security bars and alarm system to protect us from pooping and raring it's got to get better [Applause] peace now jesus said my god in my father's house and i'm gonna get out of your way [Applause] jesus reference jesus reference a cultural phenomenon in mediterranean society and in agrarian culture wherein the father of the home who in the event of discovering that his wife was pregnant automatically built on another room to the already existing house and the objective for that was so that in the event of some unforeseen incident for that child once they shall have become grown and move away from home having to come back home would have to worry about a place to call home because the room for their residency was already provided before they ever left them [Applause] our youngest son he's 21 now six foot three brother and county before he was born and pastors of our church sponsored a baby shot you know and these women here the brothers might struggle with a baby shower but these women here they know about baby showers you know you know republican party people bring all kinds of commodities and goods for their fathers for their unknown and uh they brought all kinds of good baby diapers you know baby bottles babies probably baby food baby clothes filled up a whole room for almost a whole year and i noticed that when i was assembling [Music] i had no idea [Music] [Applause] and i wasn't sleeping [Applause] arrived on the scene you miss me come here for me then god be certain [Applause] incident that you don't even know that you're going to come to yet he's already working on it before you ever get there talk to me somebody will be working at a time what are you doing [Applause] he had [Applause] guess [Applause] you made it before [Applause] you've got to find your consolation in the statement of the savior i need to hear somebody's shout is what they say to say [Music] and if you're wondering and the weather what i said carries with it any creepers or credibility you gotta go back and see what happened the first time i ever said what i said when i said what i said how i say what i say when you read in genesis chapter one moses who wrote the book of jesus said that in the beginning god created the heavens and the earth and the earth was without form and void of life and then the spirit of god moved upon the face of the deep and then god began to talk and he had no one else to whom to talk or went home to speak so he spoke to himself and again say let there be and all there was that was to become what it has become has become what it had become because he said what he said now when you read in the book of john chapter 1 and read at verse 1 it says in the beginning [Applause] the same was in the beginning with god all things were made by him and without him was anything made that was made in him was life and the life was the light of men but when you get to verse 14 of john chapter 1 it says and the word may flesh so the same one that was taught in genesis chapter one in the same one that's mentioned in john chapter one and the same one that's written in john and see what happened the first time he ever said what he said i believe that's just what happened the first time he heard what he said press down [Applause] oh [Music] [Music] you might be also [Music] if [Applause] [Music] [Music] is [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] foreign [Music] ah
