work [Music] hallelujah we thank you for your joy cause it is our strength it is our strength yes [Music] hallelujah awesome job guys was that good did you like that song did you like it it was awesome so i'm gonna talk about the next one we're about to sing for a second so this next song is called rescue it's a little bit old so i don't know if you've heard it before but our theme is rescued so i feel like that was the best one that we should probably do right yeah and all day we've sang some awesome songs like we just sing the song power in the name remember there is power in the name of jesus remember that was an awesome song too and what's so awesome about that song is it talks about the power that's in the name of jesus so because of that power that he has he has the ability to do anything that we can ask or that we can think do you believe that fc kids do you believe that adults yes yes and so when i think about the word rescue you know if you're maybe you're on the playground or you're in your house and if you like fell down or something like oh and you hurt yourself you would probably say mom or grandma or dad or grandpa whoever's keeping you or watching you and if your mom your dad or grandma and grandpa heard that do you think they would say that's just my kid that i love so they're hurt but i'm sure they'll take care of themselves do you think that your mommy or your daddy or grandma grandpa would do that no way if they heard you say mom help they'd say that's my baby and they run to you and they would take you and pick you up and care for you right [Applause] so that's the same thing that we can do with jesus so when we have a problem or a situation we don't know where to go we can say jesus [Applause] if we're afraid and we don't know where to turn we can say jesus [Music] because he cares so when you hear when he hears your voice and you say jesus i need your help he's gonna say that's my kid that's my child that i wrapped myself in flesh i came down and i died on a cross for your sins because he loved you so when you call on his name he wants to help you and it doesn't matter how big or how small the prayer may seem because god cares so if you've lost your most favoritest toy in the whole world my favorite toys were barbies when i was little and he would say oh jesus i can't find my most favorite toy in the world do you think god hears your prayer yes because he loves you so he hears you because you are precious to him so when he hears you pray for that toy he says i'm gonna help you because i love you or when you go to school and you're thinking oh jesus i'm so nervous today's my first day or maybe you were already in school and you're saying god i'm just nervous today i don't know what to do and you can pray say jesus i need your help he's gonna come and help you because he loves you and one of the great because in the way he's rescued you out of a situation that you don't know how to get out of and one of the greatest ways that jesus came and rescued us not just you but every person in this room he came down from heaven and he died on a cross and for our sins so that we could receive his spirit inside of us and that we could have the holy ghost and we could be baptized and we could be with him forever in heaven so that is the ultimate which means it's the greatest way that we can be rescued or saved so if you believe that and you're thankful let's just clap our hands and when we sing this next song let's just think about the words because we want god to know that there is nothing better or greater than him and we just want him to rescue us hallelujah when we need him thank you jesus hallelujah hallelujah [Music] you are the source of light i can be led [Music] behind no one else will do [Music] i will take hold of you [Music] i want you jesus come on everybody sing you are the source [Applause] behind no one else will do i will take hold of you jesus there's no other name i wish i am saved capture me with grace i will follow you my heart is yours [Music] no one else will do wherever won't you capture me where else can i go [Music] let's take it to the bridge [Music] this world has nothing for me [Music] come on sing it again jesus thank you god for your presence [Music] [Music] sing it one more time [Music] [Music] [Music] to your presence [Music] this world has nothing for me god has everything that you need i will follow you one more time i need you jesus where else [Music] just one is always been time you jesus hallelujah [Music] [Music] there's nothing in this world that can satisfy [Music] jesus [Music] oh i will follow you [Music] the world has nothing for me this world has nothing for me i will follow you this world has nothing for this world has nothing for me for me you [Music] this world has nothing for is doing me things right now in their little hearts it doesn't matter how old you are you can be used by the kingdom because you report to him you're

[Music] oh [Music] it's all about you jesus i'm sorry [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] and it's all about you it's all about you jesus i'm sorry [Music] [Music] oh [Music] my god [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] jesus name we're not gonna stop because god's still at at move right now but they're gonna put some needs behind me some miracle opportunities so as we continue to push through as we continue to cling to the garment and the robe of jesus we're going to redirect and ask god to touch every single need in this house every single need on this board with faith like a child who has never been who whose imagination of the power of god hasn't been belittled by this world and by our own logic i'm asking you god to move in this place i'm asking you jesus name to touch every single need in this house and every single need on this board whatever your will is god we're clinging to that wherever you want to go we're going to flow with you in the name of jesus as your spirit continues to move we're moving right along with you in jesus [Music] it's name about you it's all about you it's all [Music] about is [Music] [Music] it's all about you jesus it's all about you [Music] [Music] so [Music] [Music] it's all about your [Music] all about you jesus [Music] [Music] [Music] it's all about you but it's all about you it's all about you jesus is wow [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] so [Music] this won't have nothing for me [Music] this world has something for me [Music] this world has nothing for me [Music] world has nothing for me i will follow you this world has nothing for me this [Music] where else can i [Music] by [Music] when we came and uh when we started two services on a sunday one of the things that we decided that we will never let a schedule restrict the move of god and so i want to take a step of faith and challenge people in this room right now because there's more faith with these kids than anywhere in this world i want to know if there are any needs in the house and he needs physically mentally emotionally spiritually and i want you to come to the front i tell the young people all the time there's nothing special about the about the altar what's special is the pews and the aisles in between because that's when the faith begins to take motion if you need a need in the house right now i'm asking you to come to the front and we're going to have these kids pray for you and we're just going to watch what god does with faith like a mustard seed he'll move your mountains so i want you to come right here i want you to find sister tiffany and she's going to lead these kids into a place of prayer all right so come don't let fear hold you back from the miracle that god has a sword for you right now don't let age restrict you from the miracle that god's got for you right now because i'm telling you things will change in your life if you let god do it don't stand in the pews make your way to the front and i promise you god's gonna move in your life like never before in jesus name [Music] this world has nothing for me [Music] is [Music] so [Music] so [Music] so [Music] is [Music] is [Music] [Music] that is [Music]

you about that you haven't quite decided to make yet this is a great time to just ask the lord hey lord are you serious about that hey lord is this really a big deal hey lord it's just one or two times a week lord i only do it i used to do it five times a day but now i only do it one time a day do you really want that last one time a day do you really want everything i have do you really want that next step do you really want me to say lord i'm sorry for everything that displeases you mighty talk you know how all this started tonight you know what initiated this do you know what kicked this off how many of you have heard of the life groups here at first church many of you have heard about life groups life groups are where lives get changed it's where relationships are built it's where we get the word on a one-on-one it's where we can ask questions and and we can tell our story this started from a life group where a young person came for the first time to a live group and they got introduced to the things of the lord and it spurred a lot of questions and then they had some answers and then they felt the holy ghost began to move on them and then they received the gift of the holy ghost and then they decided it's time to be baptized in the name of jesus christ this is what this is all about this is how lives are changed hallelujah yes that could be you hallelujah [Music] that's a brand new creature in christ let's worship with her can we just worship with her hallelujah glory glory hope [Music] her first minute in the kingdom of god and she's a worship leader hallelujah [Music] [Music] for you my oh hallelujah i'm reminded of a story about a man who his in the the other side of 50 years old went to the doctor for a stress test goes into the waiting room and his appointment was to be at eight o'clock sharp and doctor made it very clear be here at eight o'clock in the morning 8 15 rolls around he's looking at his watch i've got things to do i'm an important man it's 8 15. don't you hate it when doctors do that kind of thing 8 30 rolls around nobody's coming said hello nobody's told him anything about what's going on [Music] he's beginning to get pretty aggravated as many of us would if our time was so disregarded 8 45 it's really starting to build by nine o'clock he was living he decides i'm gonna tell that doctor what what i think about this situation he holds himself back things on his neck are popping he's feeling it he's going to do it finally at about 9 15 he burst into that doctor's office and says doctor i can't believe you you told me to be here at eight o'clock start for that stress test and it's 9 15 what are you doing [Music] he said sir that was your stress test [Music] some of you came to church this afternoon and you said god i need a word from you you said god i need you to touch my heart today god i've got some major decisions i need to make it and i need that preacher to preach a message to me that'll grab my heart i've got news for you today that was your message [Applause] that was your word from the lord that was your opportunity to reach out and get a hold of the things of god and have god make a one-on-one with you and and to to do the things that we needed to do it won't be long and we're going to hear a trumpet sound don't wait for a certain sound for a certain sign that says now's the time to get close to me don't don't wait till mom and dad and grandparents are here to decide to get baptized in jesus name you need to get baptized as soon as you can find some water you need to follow the word of god don't wait don't wait don't wait until you can get with your dad or your mom to ask them to forgive you for what you've done do it right now god would you wash me and would you forgive me i don't need to wait on anything i need to do what i know to do and i need to do it right now praise god can we all stand you know we have certainly been in the presence of the lord today i believe miracles have taken place today [Applause] [Music] i hope that the lord walking through these aisles hasn't passed you by if you have not had an opportunity to investigate what life groups can do for you i want to encourage you find somebody here at first church that can walk you through the process of learning the word of god developing relationships relationships that will draw you closer to god instead of further from god relationships one with another and relationships with the lord this is a great place to call home it's a great place to call home praise god praise god [Music] [Applause] i want to thank every one of you for all of the hard work that's gone into the services the preparation that you've made god has honored that today with his presence i know we we just totally scrapped the whole schedule we didn't receive an offering today in a in the fashion that we normally do but all of those of you that want to participate in supporting the things of god you know how to do that

first church let's thank every guest that has taken the time to be here this morning with us and um as brother mccool let's let's thank brother mccool there's not a lot of people that can be really flexible and just kind of shift on a dime so we want to thank him for coming back i feel like he can just keep coming back everywhere he's just it just fits uh but we're so grateful and i wanted to publicly thank uh our next gen pastors kento and bianca they've they're incredible they're incredible i do want to highlight that if you've been a part of this if you followed our journey this is the first year that uh david and stacey myers are our children's pastors for years and have done such an incredible job year after year after year here and they've done an amazing job and they passed the baton on this year to tiffany and steve ricker and i would like to publicly thank steve and tiffany rickard for everything they have done the teams they have built the production team this takes a lot of work if you don't see all this this is a lot of effort from every from the the the praise and worship team to tiffany seems to build production all that and so i know this is a little unconventional and we didn't return our ties and offerings and we're going to put a graphic behind so you can feel free to just get online and partner with us and if you're used to returning online our ushers will bring the box and we're going to put it right up here up front and just as you on your way out if that's how you feel comfortable returning you go ahead and do that but as you can see we have invested quite a bit into our students because they're the future right they're the ones that are going to replace in my generation the generation before me and so we have invested a lot into them and so if you believe in the vision of first church and that is to reach our city through our student life then i ask you whatever you can do you go ahead and do pray for that but we're so thankful for this morning so god bless you have a great rest of your week see a monday night at prayer at seven o'clock and join a life group if you have not we love you brother and sister mccool
