Abdel George a man praise God with praising God for his journey and I have always admired him from afar so finally the Lord has brought us together amen and y'all know he can sing a little bit - amen yes praise God and his lovely wife and this is child I know that I know they were here somewhere and so I thought I saw them so hey yeah we ran into each other downstairs good to see praise the Lord Matthew 21 and verse 13 the Bible says Jesus entered the temple courts drove out somebody shalt drove out somebody shout drove out all right thank you all who were buying and selling there he overturned somebody's shout overturned the tables of the money changers and the benches of those selling doves and verse 13 says he cried out it is written he said to them my house will be called a house of prayer but you're making it a den of robbers verse 14 the blind of the lame came to him at the temple and He healed them verse 15 but when the chief priests the teachers of the law the religious folk saw the wonderful things he did and the children shouting in the temple courts Hosanna to the son of David they were indignant at verse 16 do you hear what these children are saying they asked yes replied Jesus have you never read from the lips of children and infants you Lord have called forth your praise I'm going to teach on the subject this morning his house his house let's pray thank you Lord it is the Sabbath which means it is a special day you blessed it you made it holy and you did it for our enjoyment for our growth for our development what better way to spin SAP then to come two or three together in your name because when that happens the word promises that you are in the midst Lord we have taken that scripture for granted but I reverence your presence right now you are here which means everything that we need from God is here right now God we lay hold of it not because the preacher is preaching but we lay hold of it by faith even now we stretch forth towards heaven and say whatever you have in store for me today o God we receive it in the name of Jesus we grab ahold of it by faith knowing that you mean us well that you want to do exceedingly abundantly above and beyond what we could ever ask or imagine we lay hold of that promise right now spirit of the Living God fall afresh on us we need you God right now and it is in the name of Jesus that we claim all these things and all I gots people said amen amen and amen you may be seated in the presence of the Lord happy Sabbath everybody that was somebody happy Sabbath everybody I'm good to see you today glad to be in your midst hopefully you're awake this morning as many of you attended a wedding this morning amen it's alright y'all go to weddings on Sabbath it's okay to watch one amen oh but weren't weren't our eyes tantalate it as we saw what Conda go to Windsor lord have mercy they don't they don't let black folk go everywhere now now we're in the Royal Palace and was not I'm sorry I ain't preaching yet but I just got to say I just got to get this off my chest was that not the blackest wedding that you have ever seen they even let a black American preacher preach and the Negro I mean and the preacher preached he preached the gospel I'm trying to tell y'all and the choirs of the I mean not nots acquired but the choir sang today oh man it was it was quite quite an inspirational piece and I just had to get that off my chest this more in a gay man nevertheless the Lord has given us a word this morning that I want to share that I think will be meat in due season for us today and I want to begin by us just getting to know each other just a little bit first before I get into the main part of my text I am the only biological child out of five my father who is a seventh-day Adventist pastor and my mom is a lawyer who actually worked for the General Conference you don't get no more Adventists than me as a matter of fact I tell people all the time King nobody talked about the Adventist Church until I'm finished I've got pedigree in this church fourth-generation seventh-day Adventist dad a preacher mom an attorney that represented the Adventist Church as a matter of fact my mother told me that at any given point in time in the year she represented the church in Adventist risk-management she said that the Adventist Church on average is sue 21 million dollars on average a year and it was her responsibility to protect the institution so I come from a family of hardcore seventh-day adventists I'll bring that to your attention this morning because even though I am as Adventists and as religious as they come my upbringing was a unique in that we were not your traditional seventh-day adventists as I said when my father was at seminary at Andrews University and my mother was the Dean of women at Lamson Hall for those of you who are familiar with that told you and you know my Adventist in me my mom and dad had me I was 18 months and they decided to adopt my sister who is Korean from Seoul Korea her name was Hasan Joe but when she was adopted they changed her name to Leticia can I get some can I get a witness in here my sister went on to Washington Adventist University after she went to pine forage Academy being the first and only Asian to ever attend that school and she married a black man and now she got a black baby come on say Amen when our parents moved they were been moved to New Jersey lived not not too far outside of outside of the New York area and my dad was pastoring there my mother used to work for HUD I don't I know y'all don't know nothing about that because this is Connecticut I'm assuming all y'all got money this is middle-class Church a man I'm just gonna assume that Amen or if I don't assume it I'm will prophesy it come on who receives that right now in Jesus name Amen while we were there my mother worked for a section-8 now you really don't know what that is section 8 Housing Authority and section 8 is where they pass out benefits call welfare amen and while we were there I can't remember why I was at my mom's job that particular day but while we were there my young man came in whose mother was dying of AIDS he was 12 years old my mother it was a Friday my mother invited him to come to our house that night for a American an American Adventist Sabbath night meal which is haystacks now for some of y'all David that's not even food amen come on say Amen so he came over that Friday night pastor and ended up staying for the rest of his life my parents adopted him his mother we nursed her to death she died of AIDS in our home that makes three of us I said only biological out of five right then my father moved to Baltimore Maryland Washington DC area while we were there we found out that my father's sister's children I said that right yes my father's biological sisters two children a boy and a girl nine years old we're going from one foster home to the other and everything that you can imagine that what happened to a child that lives in inner-city Baltimore home of the show The Wire like anything that you can imagine where your father is a drug dealer and your mother is an alcoholic what whatever you can imagine that what happened to those children happened to them and not to mention they were being shifted from one home to the next in true fashion my parents found out about it and my parents then adopted them and they moved into the house I tell people all the time I did not grow up in the ghetto I'm just as bougie and middle-class as a father who's a preacher and the mother who's a lawyer can get but I didn't grow up in the hood but the hood grew up in my house and so this was my reality and what I really didn't even expose you to is the fact that between the time we lived in Michigan to the time I left for Oakwood University my parents had over 70 people at different times live in our house the first time I ever saw anybody used drugs was in our garage my parents invited to live with us a homeless Vietnam agog the homeless Vietnam veteran by the name of Marvin Johnson to come and stay at our house he stayed at our house he was struggling with drugs and one day I walked into the garage and saw him using heroin there was another lady that lived with us that comes to my her name was Audrey Audrey Johnson and Audrey lived with us she was an alcoholic I can always remember her tipsy all the time at our house I never shall forget this other brother his name is Ralph Rhine who actually right now is a world evangelist that is John Koch Sims elder a friend of yours in Danville Virginia when he came to live with us it happened like this we were leaving as in a school I've been able to school my whole life do pop art seventh-day Adventist Junior Academy right in the heart of South East DC we are leaving Academy my father is taking us home right there on South Capitol Street there's a liquor store at the corner of the liquor store there was a guy standing there with another guy he's got a 40 ounce in his hand and and all I see is my father pull over and and we're sitting in this 1977 Chevy Suburban and I see my father run to the corner of the liquor store I see an altercation between my father and the drunk and next thing I know I see my father when the altercation my father the preacher wins the altercation brings fish Trump puts him in the car and today I still hate the smell of alcohol and cigarettes and not having a had a shower in seven days I just I just can't take that smell I remember it like it was yesterday he came and he ended up living with us for the next seven years and he went from addict to everything to totally clean and an evangelist preacher par excellence has traveled the world and brought thousands of people to Jesus Christ what I saw growing up as a kid was not traditional adventism traditional adventism says that you stay as far away as possible from anything that would appear to be a negative influence however my parents in their uncanny paradigm shifting way exposed me to everything that we're trying to get our kids to avoid and the only reason I'm standing here preaching right now is because of my upbringing and one of the things that God has taught me is that there is really no difference between us except opportunity I'm not hearing me here today some of you here sit up here look at all bougie and act alike you got it together and all figured out let's tell the truth and shame the devil you got crackheads and your family you got drunks in your family you got folks that didn't make didn't accept this message whose lives are messed up in your family truth be told the only reason why you're here today it's not because you're good enough smart enough wise enough Antonis enough come on and praise Him the reason why you're here [Applause] and so I share that this morning because I want you to understand that I began to see a conflict between what I was learning at home and when I saw in church I don't remember my parents giving Bible studies to these people I don't remember my parents taking up Daniel and revelation seminars and breaking what I remember they seeing somebody hungry naked and imprisoned and seeing them open up doors for them and I saw the love of God change their lives by day but when I went to my daddy search I'm seeing one thing at home but when I go to church I don't see no drunks I don't see any sinners you gonna like me you're gonna help or you gonna hate me I long for the day where we smell the aroma of weed on somebody's body as a regular sit in the house of God I long for the day for the smell and stinks of alcohol it's a regular smell in the house of God because the church [Music] Jesus way honestly us and today it has not changed there's a come on talk to me somebody look I ain't gonna be long there is a conflict I'm kind of lightweight mad here today there is a conflict between what I read in the life of Christ and what I see in the church we found you Hypno's we found you culture we found you traditions we value our history we value dress codes we value buildings we value property but Jesus told you people [Applause] and as we look at this passage of Scripture today one of the things that comes to mind and say this did y'all notice I don't know if I'm still students you don't eat only for that go follow what I'm about to say Bible students who did Jesus let's have Sabbath school for a quick second who was most offended by the Ministry of Jesus the church look at that time who was most insulted by the Ministry of Jesus that's because the world wants Jesus and the church wants Church listen to me you can tell what a people value about what makes them upset and what makes them happy what makes religious folk upset is what Tony Campolo said some years ago Tony Campolo the great theologian out of Philadelphia said he was preaching before thirteen thousand preachers and he stood up and said he said there were thirty two hundred children that died last night of malnutrition and starvation and nobody cares he repeated himself but he did it so in an exclamatory fashion the second time he said I said before thirteen thousand are preachers he says I said there were thirty two hundred children that died last night of malnutrition and starvation and nobody gives a damn then he repeated himself again he said I said thirty-two hundred children died last night of starvation and malnutrition and you're more upset that I damn that that 3,200 children died last night you can tell what a people value by what makes them upset and what they celebrate tells the truth and shame the devil what makes us mad in the church don't bother God what Christ is concerned about is that we have human lives that are in slavery and being trafficked what Christ is concerned about as we have whole neighborhoods where there are no fathers in the neighborhood what Christ is concerned about is that we have a disproportionate amount of wealth in our community compared to our community we have people of drugs the system and being incarcerated and what do we get mad about we get mad about the order of service we can matter about what time it is about what somebody is wearing now this church is what two years old how does the shirts two years old huh almost three years old I can't I'm glad you invited me I came here today to help you not to go to hell do not become like every other Adventist Church that is more concerned about its order of service it's worship experience and what happens one day out of the week concern do not bring the old way here do not lower the standard and make this a Catholic image of tradition over principle of preference over people in the text of scripture we have the day and I'm almost done we see Jesus getting ticked off I need you to stay with me now if you're serious about doing God's will do not leave me the Word of God does not have many examples of Jesus getting mad most of the Jesus that we have grown up understanding is some effeminate Jesus who is European with blond hair and blue eyes who is so beacon mild nothing bothers him he's not bothered by anything but in this passage of Scripture we see a Jesus who said and the Bible says that he decided to go in church all the Sabbath place up am I told the truth what you may not realize is this is not the first time that Jesus has done this the Bible says in John in the earlier parts of John that this is the second time Jesus did this and this is closer to his crucifixion the first time Jesus did it he actually made a whip are y'all here but that's premeditated Jesus wasn't like he didn't like walk in church it was like oh I'm so offended but no no Jesus planned to go to church and tear it up the first time he took a whip the second time he used his hands and I wish you could read it in the context of the Greek but the Greek doesn't say he just threw over tables and just pushed a merchandise out of the way the Greek says that Jesus literally his hands on people and threw them out [Applause] the Bible says that he takes in the scene you gotta see this eye of Aegeus desire nature says that when he came in divinity flashed through humanity and people were held spellbound and captivated but the God in him and he cried out with a loud voice and physically yeah the Bible says when the dust settles that there is pin-drop silence and you have to read it in mark to see it the scripture says then he cries out with a loud voice I don't know if y'all can see what I'm seeing can you see people are gassed and they're like what just happened we were having church as we had always had it and then Jesus came and messed it up oh I'm just gonna pause here and say I long for the day where are our rote and routine worship experiences would be interrupted by the presence of Jesus father you welcome to come on in here right now just move the program out of the way [Applause] House of Prayer but you are making it at dinner robbers for contact sake when I was growing up they would use this text to make the point of reverence it would be an easy application to talk about styles of music it would be used to evoke silence the Lord is in his holy temple keep silence it was used in its Eurocentric emphasis to suggest that anything that's buck is evil colonizers have taken over the Word of God and when they came to your Island or your country they not only gave you adventism but they also gave you their version of Adventism which was a Eurocentric colonized version of Adventism and they told you that your music is evil and that the beating of the drums evil spirits the Word of God in the neighborhood [Music] [Applause] let me get out of here because we got a 4 o'clock right so what's this watch what happens here watch what happens Jesus does three things to teach us how to do church his way how many everybody three things first first thing he says is he says first I gotta clean out the mess so I can install the new update anybody who has a phone understands this some of y'all got iPhones or whatever I mean I can't even speak of Android forgive me I have no knowledge of these things but but but for those of you who have any digital device you know that every now and then they will send you a notification saying that it's time for a upgrade of your software of your operating system but one of the things I discovered is is I wanted to keep both operating systems because there was some stuff I liked about the old operating system but at the same time I wanted a new operating system but how many know that when you accept a new update it actually eliminates the old operating system so that you can embrace the new some of you didn't know this but a little while ago Apple actually sent a bug for anybody who had the old phone and didn't get the new phone they reported it I don't know if you guys know this you guys know what happened in other words Apple admitted that when a new phone comes out when they send you an update they intentionally slow down your other phone they said for optimization reasons but we already know why they want you to do what everybody they want you to upgrade and get the new one yeah I'm really talking about Jesus but y'all don't see me in other words before Jesus can really install the new way of life in your in your life in order for Jesus to really make Church what it ought to be he's got to eliminate the old operating system put a new one in you can't put new wine into old wineskins or else it'll explode what Christ is saying is purposely slowing the old way down this is the reason why seven out of ten young adults are leaving the church as soon as they hit college there's a reason why our church is depopulating instead of growing there's a reason why our churches are dead and empty and I'll tell you why right now it's because we're trying to hang on to the old operating system while God is trying to give us an upgrade to move into a new dimension he cleans it out once he cleans it out then he did this now point number one he said it is written my house somebody shout it is written my house there's the first principle for how to do Church church should be done based on it is written in other words the way we do Church is not the way we've always done it we do church based on what the Word of God says therefore we clear the table of all tradition we clear the table of all things that we are married to you that are not principles of the Word of God because this is just personal how many know that you can put your trust in the word but you can't put no trust in your opinion how many know that the grass withers the flower fades but the Word of God shall stand forever I've gotten in places where my life went out there on my own and I really didn't have a word from the Lord and I got in some trouble I got in some trouble because I didn't have a word from the Lord but how many of you can say I went out there in his name they're on his word and I know for a fact that if you do what God says that God will make himself responsible for your success part of the reason we're having such a hard time in church in our families because we're not following the Word of God we want preferences but not the principles I grew up in church where they would put out girls who got pregnant but they would keep elders and leaders who ran people out of the church [Applause] that's because we depend on preference and preference for us is if it's a sexual sin it's the worst sin but if it's a relational sin will look past it but if you read in the Word of God the thing that offends God the most is that sexual sin but he says in the book of Proverbs there are seven sins that God hates six sins that God hates you what are they he said a haughty spirit see that are quick to miss you are not hearing me now we have valued we have valued letting people get away with being mean and nasty in the name of Jesus but we have won off all the people with sex problems but I've come here today in the name of Jesus to tell you right now that we've gotta put that stuff aside and we have to follow the Word of God it is written listen yo let's follow the word and then the second thing he says my house shall be called a house of prayer for all people I'm tell me if we gonna do Church his way in other words sure we should lower obstacles for people to get to faith in Jesus okay okay only a few of you just caught what I just said we ought not make it difficult for people to come to faith in Jesus we ought to make it as easy as possible remove all impediments remove all obstacles remove anything out of the way that's gonna make it hard for somebody to get to Jesus because he says my house is a house of prayer my house is a house of prayer for good people my house is a house of prayer for the middle class my house is a house of prayer for the street you can argue with me later but all means oh I thought I thought it I thought it'd be quiet in here now oh if you can struggle with lying and be here then somebody can struggle with tobacco and be here if you can struggle with safe and be up in here with their sexuality [Applause] the reason why I can stand here in this because I am a survivor I am a recovering let me say this I feel myself getting too excited too soon listen hearing him hear me because I don't want anybody to think this is some emotional thing I'm coming intellectual on you now listen to me right now people are not moved to come to Jesus because of your success they're moved to come to Jesus because of your struggles you too busy walking around here trying to pretend like you got it all figured out and you got it all together and you go into your boyfriend's house tonight you still try act like you got it all together and yes you married here in the United States but you got children over in Jamaica somewhere that you don't even speak to [Applause] [Music] they let you be elder here because you couldn't be elder over there cuz you got too much stuff going on doc so this I'm just saying we just open up this thing it's a house of prayer for all it's a house of prayer for all it's a house of prayer for all it's a house of prayer for all is there any all's in here right now that brought some stuff in here how many y'all brought some stuff in here and if people knew what you brought in they wouldn't let you in who can bless them right now and say it ain't none of your business because whom the Sun sets free [Music] [Applause] [Music] the last thing he says I'm just telling what Jesus to you he tore the place up he did what come on were y'all that he tore the place up he did what then he said my house it is written my house in other words he established that church should follow Scripture not tradition if we gonna put tradition over Scripture then let's be Catholic Adventists if we go put the spirit of prophecy over the Bible then let's be Catholics because they put tradition over the word and [Applause] then the third thing my house shall be called a house of prayer for all people now watch what happens the next thing that happens he doesn't even say he just does oh there's a word in there the church do too much talking y'all study too much y'all need to get out there and help somebody we worship too much seriously like I looked at my church bus I'm like we're spending a whole lot of money and listen don't get me wrong we ought to spend money on having the most attractive worship experience ever but check this out we also need to match our same funds with what we're putting in the lives of our people in our community the Word of God says this watch what happens the Bible says once he clears everybody out how much y'all to see it in the text because you may not believe me some of y'all already think this is a crazy radical preacher he's trying to make us liberal no watch this watch this watch this and I believe in the spirit of prophecy too don't I pastor amen I can quote it with the best of them matter fact I might put one up on the screen right now now I'll do it this afternoon what's this Matthew 21 and I want you to watch verse 14 where I mean go to go to verse 13 alright if when you found it would you say Amen okay y'all not with me you got a look at this because if you don't look at it you're gonna say he's just crazy I know I'm crazy but I don't want you to think I'm crazy on this sermon I want you to know it's biblical I want you to get your phone out get your Bible out and see what I'm about to show you look at the word watch what happens I mean it's right in front of my face as pastor you talk about expository preaching it's right here in the word watch this is everybody there alright what says this is a new international version the Bible says outside of 13 Jesus into the temple courts which drove out all who were buying and selling there y'all see that he overturned the tables of the moneychangers you see that and the business of those selling doves y'all see that right he clean it out next watch what he says he then says it is what he said to them my house will be called a house of what but you are making it a den of robbers in other words you're doing more taking than you're doing giving so watch what he said watch what happens here once he cleans the place out moves all the hypocrites out moves out all the religious leaders out moves out all the tradition out moves out up watch what happens here brace yourselves brace yourselves the Bible says in verse 14 the blind and the lame came to him after temple and He healed them you just miss what happened there one of the reasons why the sinners are not coming into our church in droves one of the reasons why breath of life is not having for services on Sabbath instead of just one it's because ain't no sinners coming in you know I ain't no sinners coming in because we've not allowed Jesus to clean up some stuff in our lives we're not standing on the authority of the word of God and we really don't believe that the church is a place for all people but when you do all three of those things then the Word of God says the blind and the lame and the prostitutes and the drugs and the sinners will feel welcome to come on in [Music] Jesus says when I am lifted up I will do what do you see what happening Jesus oh this is my boy Jesus was always in certain pool but the problem is God's people who are outside the temple couldn't see them because the church folk was in the way we actually have some good stuff to offer people because we have to move out of the way out of the way the Bible says Jesus standing there is healing then the scripture says let's wrap it up right here description now now now I'm about to turn up in here you you about to get in trouble it can't do nothing to me cuz I'm leaving come on say Amen but I listen because I listen I know where the Lord has brought me from okay nobody tell me brother can't nobody tell me where the Lord has brought me from see I'm that blind man that's coming in on that demon-possessed man that's coming in I'm one of those prostitutes that's coming in see you don't see yourselves as those four you see yourselves as a folk that got kicked out but the truth of the matter is you need to start seeing yourselves as a folk that was put out that God finally allowed to get in you ain't supposed to be here today you ain't are no right to be in here today you're not good enough to be in no church the only reason why you here right now so that you can come in and the Bible says that when they begin to come in the word says no imma show it to you because y'all don't think I'm making it up look what happens go right back to the verse verse 15 the Bible says but when the chief priests and the teachers of the law saw the wonderful things he did and the children shouting in the temple courts Hosanna to the son of David they were indignant and they said do you hear what these children are saying they asked him yes reply Jesus have you never read from the lips of children and infants you Lord have called forth praise in other words Jesus is saying y'all stop hatin y'all shut up y'all stop criticizing you need to be shouting you need to be dancing because even though I threw you out I could have killed you your bad cuz I tossed you out but if the truth of the matter is if I just looked at you the wrong way you would be a dead man what you ought to be doing is praising God with the children what you ought to be doing this blessing God with the blind man what you ought to be doing is lifting up your voice like a trumpet in light of all that God brought you from I can see you not with me now so let's go on down memory lane [Applause] you earned the right to praise God unless you have no reason no motivation no inspiration to say thank you Jesus when you never did nothing wrong but sinners in here on his name with Thanksgiving and into his courts with praise all generation what can wash away my sins [Music] [Applause] [Music] where's the musician coming coming coming wherever the musician is his car I wanted you to hear me loud and clear I don't want my enthusiasm to make you get this thing twisted well I just got to tell you I should not even be married I should have lost my mind my marriage and my ministry so you think I'm gonna come in here and act all I know where the Lord has brought me and having that kind of demeanor is the kind of demeanor that is attractive to the Lost you know the number one reason why people don't go to church number one is because they feel like they have to get themselves together before they come that is satanic if you could get yourself together then you wouldn't need Jesus what am I trying to appeal to today I'm trying to appeal to your heart you think I'm talking about them but I'm talking about you are you willing to let Jesus come in your heart and your life and mess it up so that he can do what he wants to do you will never wash this guy's you will never be attractive to the loss until he messes up your temple [Music] they not coming they're not coming in until he breaks that thing up so he removes that pride til he removes that pretension till he removes that pretending why can't all of us do what Paul did and say I'm chief of sinners if you know that's who you are to stand to your feet right now just ante feet right now if you know you need him oh you need him every hour who am I talking to today is there someone here your heads about and your eyes are closed you know let me just do this Shh come down a little let me just say this I am NOT going to make a very specific appeal right now I just want the Spirit of God to speak to people so you won't think it's what I'm saying here's my appeal if the Lord spoke to you in a very personal way come down right now come down if the Lord spoke to you in a very personal way you've heard God's voice come god bless you god bless you let's not play with it let's not try to figure it out it's a very simple question you feel the Spirit of God trying to do something in your life you hear the voice of God talking to you saying let me come in do you hear but the word says behold I stand at the door and knock If any man would hear my voice he says and let me I said then I will come in and I'll sup with you [Music] but he got to rearrange some stuff he's got to take some stuff out and bring some stuff in who says amen to that right now what I'm talking about right now is I'm talking about surrender yeah antum of the Holy Spirit coming into your life and you not being the same person I'm not talking are you being an adjusted version of yourself I'm not about just making progress I'm talking about experiencing Holy Spirit anointed transformation your heads about yeah eyes are closed right where you stand just begin to give your all to the Lord right where you standing I'm getting ready to pray momentarily but I just want you to let the Spirit of God minister to you right where you stand get personal with God into your heart your soul in his presence tell him what you want tell him what you need ask you and the Bible says he shall receive seek and you shall find the doors will swing open ask him for cleansing power clarity [Music] sing it again second again come on everybody where you are sing it up to the whole yes every hour [Music] Oh your heads about the icicles you do not have to get yourself together the gospel of Jesus Christ is this come as you are and then let the Holy Spirit not people's expectations the Spirit will do the work I want to make a very specific appeal right now there may be somebody here who wants to be free from the burden of sin free from whatever is in bondage to you deliverance is yours by faith in Jesus Christ and you may want to be baptized re baptized in the name of Jesus you want to move forward there should be nothing hindering you from this because remember the Lourdes is simply saying come unto me all ye that labor and are heavy-laden come he didn't say come and get fixed come but before you come you can know he says come if you're the Lord is talking to you and you need to be in the next baptism either baptism Reap apt ISM which simply means I'm saying yes to his will I'm saying yes to his way and I want to be a part of a church family that's gonna help nurture man grow me to my full potential in God if the Lord is talking to anybody here today baptism remapped ISM the next one
