is everywhere lord [Music] so would you speak today to us master bring us back to our biblical sense to know that trouble don't last always to know that pain might endure through the night but joy comes in the morning we ask these blessings and many more and your daughter and send jesus to christ name we pray and we say amen and amen family while you're standing and for those who might be visiting today we thank god that you're visiting and for those who make the first sunday the sunday you go to church of the month because you don't want to miss the lord's supper it's something supernatural powerful about that first sunday glad you here those who will join us online this morning family out of all the sermons i preached in 2021 i believe this is the one that god really want us to lock into more than anything else we're talking about saved by the shed blood of christ without the shed blood of christ there is absolutely no heaven if there is no heaven there's no peace but look at isaiah chapter number 1 verse 17 and 18 let's read this together learn to do what is good pursue justice correct the oppressor defend the rights of the fatherless plead the widow's cause come let's settle this says the lord though your sins are scarlet they will be as white as snow though they are crimson red they will be like wool isaiah 53 verse 3 he was despised and rejected by men a man of suffering who knew what sickness was he was like someone people turned away from he was despised and we didn't value him yet he himself bore our sickness and he carried our pain but we in turn regarded him stricken struck down by god and afflicted but he was pierced because of our rebellion crush because of our iniquity punishment for our peace was on him and we are healed by his wounds hebrew 10 verse 19 therefore brothers and sisters since we have the boldness to enter the sanctuary through the blood of jesus he was integrated for us a new and living way through the curtain that is through his flesh and since we have a great high priest over the house of god let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith with our hearts sprinkled cleansed from an easy evil conscience and our bodies washed in pure water saved by the same the shed blood of christ to those who are visiting this morning inside the program that you receive inside to the right there's a little place there where you can put a name and a phone number and you can tear that off just that portion in any of those boxes that you like to check that are applicable to you check those boxes off and during our time of worshiping through giving just place that little slip in the offering basket and before 10 p.m tonight i will personally give you a call if it's for nothing more but to say thank you for being a part of our church family that's what we like to do i believe that the least that pastors ought to be able to do is give you a welcome when you come to the church at bethel's family and if it's your first time listen you'll already loved so make yourself at home amen can anybody in the church give you some bad eyes wrong eyes rolling eyes uh just let me know who they are we're gonna go ahead and put them on timeout and let them write a zillion times i would not roll my eyes and be unfriendly take you back to school a little bit but family on a serious note on this first sunday we have too much blood that's been shed for no apparent reason and since this is the month of october it is also known as domestic violence month there's too much bloodshed that's unnecessarily happening you can't even look at anything expected of news and not see some form of bloodshed and age has nothing to do with it having money or the lack thereof has nothing to do with it educated or illiterate has nothing to do with it black white hispanic asian it has nothing to do with any of that it's just that satan has set his own agenda amongst people to make them believe that god don't even exist that there is no judgment for your perpetual sins and that you do unto others before they do unto you a person would rather hurt you than speak to you in family that's not in a few families it's interwoven in all of our families at some level so there's so much bloodshed that's unnecessarily being shared but i want to talk to you about the benefits of the shared blood of christ i want to talk to you about the real benefits about christ dying on calvary's cross to give you and i an opportunity to have a right to the tree of life so there's no further need for blood sacrifices there's no need for a man to gun down another man a man to gun down a woman a man to beat a woman a woman to be the man there's no need for any more shed blood because when jesus went to calvary he sealed our day of redemption he took on our guilt and our transgressions and all of our iniquities he was it was nailed to the cross to free us up from that evil and wicked and ungodly mindset now if you like scriptures it's a good day for you to get your ink pen out if you like scriptures because we're going to begin to look at what are the benefits of the shared blood of christ i want you to know that we are saved from the wrath of god because of the shed blood of christ when you look at romans chapter 1 verse 18 it says for the wrath of god is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness in unrighteousness of men who hold the truth in unrighteousness in matthew 25 and 41 it says and then shall he say unto them on the left and depart from me you're cursed into everlasting fire prepare for the devil and his angels he says in romans 5 and 9 much more than now being justified by his blood we shall be saved from the wrath through him outside of christ's shed blood there is no power for redemption romans 3 25 says whom god has set forth to amen be free through the fate of his blood to declare the righteousness of the remissions of sin and it's through him that we have the forbearance of what we call salvation i was looking in there are seven places jesus christ himself shed his blood you ready to write some more there's seven places seven is the number of completion there's seven places in the bible where jesus christ himself shed his blood in luke 22 and 44 it was his sweat it was what came out of his pores if you remember when they took him out of the garden of gethsemane and they took him through all these mocktrots and they whipped him they beat him and they said that through the night it was such perspiration that it was drops of blood coming out of his pores see men don't like to glue into the the pain and crucifixion of christ because we're so caught up on the glimmer of the amen the the the gumball machine the different color skittles we get caught up in the things that amen can't give you the allegory of what really happened on that day jesus went through mock trials and was lashed upon and beat upon and i don't know about you you couldn't take amen one tenth of what he went through and he was an innocent man so it's wet and then it came on the mindset that it was in the garden of gethsemane where you see that jesus amen brought back your power because the power that came from him out of his shed blood have given you the right to even stand today and then not only that but it was in his face according to isaiah 50 and 6. watch this jesus plucking of his blood has won back the honor that you and i lost when we got kicked out of the garden we were a laughingstock we were separated from god a matter of fact for those who are not with god you are enemy of god [Applause] i better say that again for those of you that know others who are not for god not for christ not for the holy ghost they are enemies of god and people don't recognize that because the shed blood of christ was for all to come to a point in his or her life that you realize that you can't make it on your own no matter how good you are no matter how well you behave that's not in you amen to go into the face of god because of the stand of sin that's in our lives and only through christ but we're evil so with on his face you you saw the agony and the pain if you remember in the garden of gethsemane he pleaded two times at least three times lord if this cup can pass from me you know what was in the cup you and me [Music] our sins our iniquities our shortcomings and i know we don't live in a transparent world but the reality of it is none of us are righteous no not one it's only by the shed blood of christ not only on his face but think about his head according to matthew 27 verse 29 and 30 watch this family jesus crowned his crown his head with thorns in one back prosperity of a lost man or a lost woman a matter of fact whatever the devil has taken from you whatever you think you like it based on them putting the thongs on christ's head you won back your prosperity so you don't have to worry about what i'm going to eat what i'm going to wear where ever going to live will i have a roof over my head will my kids be all right because my bible tells me that when jesus he paid the ultimate price and guess what he paid it in full it's not like a poor woman that goes to the store to buy groceries she can't afford the whole chicken so she buy parts if you want to know why they start cutting chicken up the way they do now is because once upon a time there were people that couldn't afford a whole chicken so they would cut the chicken up and they would sell the chicken in parts because if all you had was 25 cent all you get is a chicken breast but when jesus went to calvary paid amen the ultimate price in full so you don't have to live in the condemnation of your past the benefits of the shed blood of christ i don't have to live in my yesterday in my mistakes i don't have to live in darkness i don't have to live in the cave of my past and then when you think about the shed blood on his back according to the scriptures in matthew 27 and 26 it says now it says the stripes on jesus back one back your health it's through his stripes that you're healed there's no sickness that's more powerful than the god that we serve there is no disease more powerful than the god that we know there is nothing upon the earth more powerful than god and sometimes family we put too much we give too much credit we give too much amen we envy others who can do this that never but had it not been for god shed blood of christ but not only family his back his head not only his face and the sweat but what about his hands i don't like my hands to be restrained i don't even play with folks with handcuffs lieutenant kerry you remember that day when you had that little blue santa in here somebody you had here going a harvest festival and they wanted to go ahead and play put handcuffs on me i don't play that homie don't play that i don't like to be restrained because the bible has said when i gave my life to christ and the shed blood of christ have freed me from the bondage of my past i don't wear shackles anymore i'm not in bondage i don't have a yoke upon amen my life amen the curse of my past have been broken so i can raise my hand how in the world you're going to amen give my god praise and glory and you're restrained it came to free you from that and then when you think about history the rivets that they drove through our lord's feet lord have mercy they pierced his feet and you know why they pierced his feet it's because every place your foot tread is protected that's why david could say that yea though i walk through the valley of the shadow of death i fear no evil watch this because thyroid in thy step they comfort me they pierce him in his feet so you can walk in the places where you walk god can sustain you can protect you if you don't want to take my testimony go ask shadrach meshach and abednego go ask daniel amen talk to somebody who's already been through the fire there's some people sitting right in here that back was against the wall they didn't know how they was gonna make that situation amen come clean from but god stepped in in the nick of time they still walking in grace they're still walking in power they still have man the blood running in their veins his feet that's why you don't worry about where you go because god says listen i will never forsake you i never leave you wherever you go i'm with you and then family think about his side being pierced when they pierced my jesus in this side what it did it brought a level of joy that's when you hear amen this joy that i have the world didn't give it to me in the world surely can't take it away this is vitally important for the body of christ because when you understand the shed blood of christ we are cleansed and forgiven by that same blood so many of us live lives in the darkness of the truth that's why the father of lies can continue to lead us the wrong way satan is the father of lies and anybody that lie satan is the daddy my bible tells me we got to walk in the light now when you walk in the light it doesn't mean you perfect but you walk in the light because the light exposes that which need to be worked on i wish i had a witness over here why do you think when you go to surgery in the amen bring you in that room in the operating room they got all these beaming lights all over your body the doctor need to see what he's working with [Music] because one mistake one bad incision one bad cut can amen terminate everything but watch this family we are so amen consumed in this world we camouflage who we really are and we don't come clean before the lord but when you walk in the light all you're doing is exposing where god can work on you [Music] and we don't believe in being transparent with god but we need to and so when you think about that family you've been cleansed and you've been forgiven but not only that but you're justified because you're not justified by your behavior you'll never be good enough you might want to write that down i would never be good enough he chose us he died for us he did for us what we couldn't do for ourselves that's why when you look in the book of romans look at chapter 4 chapter 5 you see you're justified by faith it says abraham believed god and his fate was counted as righteousness now you know abraham was a liar and many times when you people come to you and say listen i've been justified by the blood of the lamb of god because people want to bring up your past the things you didn't do 100. and they try to nail you to the cross on that one but baby you need to stand up on a little soap box find your little place there i want to get all y'all right here together right now i mean i don't have to say it twice get all everybody come on in y'all get in yes i was guilty as sin everything that satan said i did i did amen i was one of the chief sinners paul says but you know something one day i heard the voice of god somewhere i was at some revival i was at some little baptist church i was somewhere in a little small town a little church called mount triad missionary baptist church in abbeville louisiana and i heard pastor aj mays preached a gospel message and he said for any of you who put your trust in faith in god regardless of what you have done in your past the bible says that you'll be saved you'll be sealed you'll be sanctified to the day of redemption and now hell is not your home no more you're on your way to heaven now while you're on your way to heaven you've got to deal with some folks some folks that don't understand what it means to be washed in the blood of the lamb of god because they live in a world that is so sinister they live in a world that's so wicked and so evil and so arrogant but i serve a god that told me once amen i gave my heart to him and i laid down my burden before him he said there'd never be a day in your life when you're gonna lack anything i'll be with your own money just like i was at you on sunday i'll be with you on tuesday morning if you got to go to the courthouse i'm going with you you got to go to the jailhouse i'm going with you you got to go to surgery i'm going with you your kids are acting crazy i'll be with them too because my god the god that i serve he says this listen i got you i got you the shared blood of the lamb i've been justified and then not only i'm reconciled back into the body i'm with god i'm with jesus i'm in the holy ghost all the time so you can take my money you can take my house steal my truck go ahead and take all that mess because let me tell you there's something inside of me that you can't take [Applause] you can't take away my jesus you can't take away my praise you can't take away my hallelujahs you just can't take it away [Music] i've been reconciled back into the body i was once an enemy of god but the shed blood he reconciled me back into a relationship with him but not only that he redeemed he paid for me in full he paid by the shed blood not only that but he delivered me [Applause] [Music] see most of us don't know the benefits of the shed blood of christ he delivered me he delivered you why you don't smoke the dope you used to smoke anymore you've been delivered why you don't drink the way you used to drink anymore you've been delivered why you don't sleep around like you used to sleep around you've been delivered you've been delivered by the shed blood of christ i don't go where i used to go no more i don't hang out with the people i used to hang out with no more i don't roll no more cigarettes no more i don't have no hotel keys in my pocket no more no lipstick on my collar that's not sister august no more we got a realized family when you've been delivered when you've been reconciled when god has redeemed you then you can walk through the shed blood and experience the abundance that god has for you [Applause] jesus says i come that you might have life and have life more abundantly he wants to give you more he wants to expand your territory but you got to understand unless the shed blood of christ provided you don't have an abundance amen you have a lack thereof many of you understand the abundance that god has given you through the blood life is important important in your life through his blood victory comes through his blood that's why i don't worry and i don't stress about battles i'm not having a tug of war with nobody because i don't have to fight no ma'am no sir because my bible tells me that if god before me is more than the world against me victory is mine and i want to tell some saints i want to encourage some saints here everybody gonna go through something i promise you everybody gonna go through something and because the average age in this service is about 64. we're gonna go through some stuff lord have mercy yes we will women you're gonna have your problems i wish i could get away this year [Music] brother prostate wait where uncle arthur riders it is auntie lupus in town we are going to go through something we on heart medication we got to keep our blood pressure regulated we all got something look at your medicine cabinet we all go through some things but why are you going through go through it victoriously don't let the devil take your situation and magnify it so big that you can't see the healing hands of god you can't amen realize that god in the midst of your trials your struggle your struggles your sickness god got a testimony about to be birthed out of your situation you got to get up every morning regardless of how you feel and still give my god some praise still give him some glory victory is yours because as the mind thinks so is the person come on now say amen so is a man thinking so is he so amen i think victory all the time and since i live in miracle territory amen i don't walk around with my head hung down that's not me that's not what i do i don't care if amen my back is against the wall i don't know where my next meal is coming from i look back over the days when god provided when i had nothing i wish i had a witness over here and my god did not bring me this far to leave me all by myself i've learned amen to trust him even when our amen can't trace him that's why the bible tells you or die we walk by faith and not by sight god took care of the israelites in the wilderness 40 years there were no walmarts in the wilderness there were no malls there were no payless but their shoes did not wear out their clothing did not wear out there was no washington where you can go and wash your clothes and dry your clothes there was no tide there was no clorox there was no shout it out if god can take care of the children of israel for 40 years somebody ought to say man what can he do for you me bring it closer to home pastor think about your grandparents your great-grandparents who have to get up every morning and work for nothing fun nothing every single day for nothing but yet you were able to do a little bit better a little bit more than they did you're standing on the sacrifices of those same people and one thing they had they had some jesus they knew how to get themselves together maybe only had 25 sit in their pocket but they would get themselves to church they'll break god off 15 20 they're going back home with five cents but they trusted god because they knew god would make a way for him amen when we think about the goodness of god but when you think about you have access that's what hebrew 10 was talking about because the shed blood of christ you and i don't have to go through nobody to get access to god you know we all need favors from time to time from people but don't put all your eggs in one basket because you're going to be disappointed a lot i try to teach people the way god teach me sometimes god just say no yo and at times he want to see how bad i really want it am i going to trust him with this no because he knows he knows i'm not ready for it he knows my motive is not aligning with his will and i need people to focus in when you come out of that thing i don't want to steal god's glory you got to know that god did it and he does it all the time you don't have to come through pastor august or pastor home and pass the lead pastor kerry pastor amen frank mcgee you have to come through none of us you have direct access to god because the shed blood of christ you can call on him anytime he hears you because it has been torn the veil has been torn you don't need to go to a piece of flesh to get a spiritual blessing because my god owns it all he owns it all and that's why the writers say doctor look that's why we ought to draw near with a true heart full of the assurance and faith and with our hearts sprinkle cleanse from an evil conscience and our bodies wash in pure water family we need to know that god is still on the throne it is out of that shed blood that we have life and we have life more abundantly so we have to continue to stand under the bloodstained banner of christ when trouble rises you hasten to his throne [Music] when things become unbearable just come to him when you can't find your way out close your eyes and trust him when your enemy come against you still be kind and compassionate when they lie on you continue to stand in the truth when they try to persecute you still walk in the light of love and when you're not feeling well that's when you give the greatest hallelujahs in the land because i refuse to give satan anything so while i'm going through i'm a hallelujah myself in i'm going to hallelujah myself through and i'm going to hallelujah myself out of that situation i'm going to have satan so confused he need to go see a shrink come on now say amen lord have mercy so my brothers and sisters you serve a risen savior christians ought to never walk around with their heads hung down because our jesus is not dead he's alive he's well and he's standing and setting all at the same time making an accessory for you and i so that one day when we take our less breath on this side we'll better see him face to face and god's going to say well done thy good and faithful servants you've been faithful over a few things he said come come and he's going to fulfill your cup and there will be a continual eternal everlasting peace that will surpass all understanding father god we thank you master we thank you lord for the blessing today we thank you lord for this opportunity god to give an invitation there might be a man the woman boy or girl under the sound of my voice and they heard very clearly the gospel message if they would surrender their life to you confess their sins o lord believe that jesus hung bled and died upon the cross believed on the third day morning he rose all power in heaven and on earth so father we're praying for the salvation of our brothers and sisters [Music] please lord for that man that woman who have given their life to christ but heaven committed to a church home for whatever reasons [Music] father we'd like the spirit to move because they can serve you anywhere there's not one church that have a monopoly on you god every place where jesus is lifted up god you're there so father would you draw jesus please lord please lord we pray these prayers in jesus name and we say amen my brother my sister if you want to come to jesus you want to join the body of christ here at bethel's family [Music] i told you many times and i continue to say it until i'm dead in god we are not a perfect church but we strive to be faithful when we fall short we repent and take the cleansing power of the lord so if you're looking for searching for a bible teaching church a crazy pastor that's crazy enough to follow god no matter what and this is a good place for you to come and be a member god bless you my sister [Music] will somebody else come this morning come on my sister [Applause] [Music] the invitation is still on the floor you can still come while the blood's running [Music] rest beyond the reefer [Music] oh neil the cross [Applause] need the cross [Music] [Music] my dear sister right here sometimes you got to leave everything behind and just take jesus at his word but i wanted to know she don't walk alone because there are many more here my sister has to make this walk so why don't y'all come this way baby come on mr thompson you keep on clapping for him encouraging family [Applause] family while the deacons are making their way this way want to encourage all of us to read the bulletin carefully thoroughly when you get one because we do new things the month of october a matter of fact for the rest of the year but definitely for the month of october we have a very very busy month of october we

continue to be faithful in our tithes and our offerings and our sacrificial gifts that the lord provide for us but let's pray most glorious heavenly father we just say thank you lord we thank you god for your kindness you attend the mercies we thank you now god that we come to return god the work the labor that you blessed us to do and thank you for this church thank you for this ministry thank you for everything god and the many lives that you impact every single week so receive it god it comes from our hearts in jesus name we pray and we say amen amen [Music] let me go ahead and highlight a couple of things while the deacons are taking care of the offering i want you to know that we do have men's class tomorrow night uh at seven o'clock this is for all men brothers you're not exempt from learning to go deeper with god pastor holman is our teacher and it will help you be a better man if you are an awesome man then you'll be a stellar type of man but you can never graduate on this side we all need to continue to grow as biblical men and then on tuesdays we have the 11 o'clock bible study for women and also they come back on tuesday nights at 7 fall women's bible study is vitally important and then you know every night we are on the zoom prayer line and the the information is on the cover of your program every night from 10 to 11 o'clock i host a zoom prayer gathering every night from 10 to 11 and i thought about it after we got off the prayer line last night i want to thank those you know 50 60 70 people that have been on the prayer line thank you all for praying into my home because it dawned on me last night that when people are praying on that zoom it's in my home and your prayers is echoing in the walls in my house so thank you for praying in my household amen my home feel the whole much much safer the same thing is happening to you when people are praying and those prayers are bouncing on the walls in your home and then starting on this coming wednesday we have another zoom prayer line because i believe we have to put prayer on the front burner it can no longer be an afterthought so starting on this coming wednesday the 6th of october we're gonna have an eight o'clock zoom prayer line from eight to nine because i know some people go to bed before 10 uh but there's another one eight o'clock and you can get information from that just by calling sister madeline sister booker you can call them and definitely put something out so you can get glued in it's a zoom call print uh prayer line and there are some basic guidelines to praying but they pray for one hour and you anybody can join anybody from california to louisiana to wherever uh but this is primarily geared toward women coming together and spending time in prayers amen and one of their focus is that since this is domestic violence month we have to pray for the women and the young women who are actually getting beaten getting killed by foolishness now it doesn't mean the man don't get beat either it doesn't mean that but that's rare and he better not report it i can see past pastor lee going up there talking about yolanda beating him and if she does he probably deserves and everybody says the lead that's right [Music] but no on a serious note though it does happen to men too but primarily 95 of the time is women that get abused and so i wanted to focus really deeply praying for the young sisters the young women we can't talk about them family we've all made mistakes these youngsters are in a different world altogether amen before we partake in the lord's supper uh hold on brothers i can hold up for a second before i bring you guys up here i know y'all ready that danny jonathan trying to lead leave the pack uh you know just hold on brother hill they're leaving you alone for a minute uh here i need to do do something for us and i need your help on some things how many of you have any louisiana affiliation you got any family friends you got people in louisiana you know for a fact that pastor august is from where abbotville louisiana and you know i love my little city right and you normally hear about it often right yeah for the last eight to ten years this church we have been working through either the pathway to success program to go into the schools we would we took hundreds of kids out of louisiana and we bring them to texas and give them the camp experience and we do things to help with scholarships and those kind of things but each year we would spend you know forty fifty thousand dollars to kind of make sure we're trying to help the children but after a while that money adds up and you really can't see anything that's tangible so over the last nine months uh i've been working in louisiana as well as houston and we formed the organization a matter of fact can i just show you the clip why don't we show the clip steve you can turn the lights out please hi my name is walter august jr i happen to be the board chair of the nehemiah projects of acadiana we're housed right there in abbeville louisiana my place of birth this is where i was raised i graduated abbeville high school in 1977 venturing into the marine corps and eventually making my home here in the houston texas area where i've been over 40 years and over the last 10 to 12 years we've been working in vermillion parish working in the schools to make a difference with the young people and also the parents in the community as a whole just to do a few things to make things better over the last nine months i've actually joined and helped to organize the neomark projects of acadiana an organization that's geared to transforming communities and transforming the lives for generations to come we end up buying property in abbeville of the old school where james harris used to be and we have schematics and architectural drawings for our new facility which is a 136 000 square foot facility that will eventually house a charter school grade 6 to 12 that will also have a health care unit on the inside for the adults and children alike also economic development what happened there job placement and job training and much more to bring the kind of development that every generation and every family in that abbeville area will be blessed of a million parish for that particular program we also have our headquarters we're office out of the downtown abbeville area the physical address is 100 south state street and our office is man the lord has provided the nehemiah project with a 13-member board we're not paid to do this we all volunteer our time and all of these individuals are highly skilled and they're all professionals working in their own arenas but we have come together for such a time like this one to help our community help our parish and help our state make a difference in the lives of everybody that lives in the vicinity of that area so go to our website is www.thenpai.org go to our website you will see everything that you need to see and learn about the vision about our board members about what we're planning on doing and here's where i need your help we're raising uh the funds to build the educational facility the facility that would house you know 800 kids at one time uh teaching them and educating them a technology giving them a scholar a college educational curriculum so once they finish high school hopefully they would have enough credits to also receive an associate degree at the same time then providing the health components there's nobody in that community that needs to go without general health screenings and health checks ups and immunizations and all that goes on that we need from that perspective and then of course we want to also help economically uh helping with job placement job training business development so that model would be able to sustain and also enhance and encourage generations to come when you go to our website you might see a form like this one or you should see it or you can even glue into this one here it's a membership form we're asking you to consider becoming a member of the neomark project of acadiana and it's a simple form even your children can become members and the simple donation of the children a dollar a month 12 a year and then you as a parent you as a business leader you can figure out what you would like to contribute to the overall success of the nehemiah projects of acadiana this is here for you and for us if you'd like to call me personally my cell phone number is 713-962-6602 i'm located in houston uh three or four of our board members are not in the louisiana area but we are from louisiana we have 70 percent of our board who live in vermillion parish in proximity and so we are there to serve we are there for you and whatever we can do we want to make a difference we have the mayor support mayor mark piazza we have the city council of abbeville we have vermillion parish police juror who has also given us their blessings the city attorney many of the business owners in that region and also faith leaders have also shared that they're in support of what we're doing so thank you for the privilege of giving me this opportunity to invite you to join us in our efforts of raising those funds necessary so we can see better days for generations to come god bless you and may god continue to keep us it's in his name we always pray but thank you god bless family you could sit on the sidelines and do absolutely nothing why our children and their children suffer that's not my heart has never been my heart money is only good if you're using it to do something good and i'd like to encourage and invite you because you've already been investing in louisiana in many ways in many forms and i'm praying that god will allow at least 300 families or 300 individuals to become members of the nehemiah projects of acadiana and we have a table out the doors to the to the right and i have some volunteers manning those tables they do have those cards there is a big old poster of what the buildings look like you could see it and i like to invite you to join our efforts because i believe that building and what we're doing there going to challenge the public school systems in louisiana to begin to invest real dollars into the infrastructure of these schools that's been there longer than i've been living and you know and it's the children of color that seem to get the short end listing so it's nothing hard to do but i'm praying that you will join us in our efforts this is biblical mindset because the churches built the schools the churches built the hospitals this is what we do so i wanted to invite you to do that so on your way out if you want to i pray you will and you know no commitment is too small that's why we even have our children involved ruby and i we took all of our grandkids and we made a commitment for all of our grandkids that they will pay a dollar a day to the near my projects of acadiana and our grandkids what we're doing i didn't tell my sons and my daughter-in-laws but i'm taking the inheritance [Laughter] and i'm paying it forward for the school that's what i'm doing because if we don't invest in children and youth and kids what are we doing there's only so many stakes i can eat per week and there's so many places so please ma'am if you do anything if pastor august ever asks you to do anything it will never be for me personally it will always be for somebody else and so if y'all don't mind what y'all please stand we're ready [Music] [Music] grace how [Music] oh red [Music] i was [Music] in family while they were eating in matthew chapter 26 beginning at the 26th verse it says jesus was in the upper room with his disciples he took the bread broken and blessed he told them take eat for this is my body he took the cup and he gave thanks and he told them to drink all of it for this is my blood that was shared for the many for the remissions of sin praise god praise god praise god praise god praise god praise god praise god [Music] god praise god praise god praise god but i do have a board member that's also a part of the near

all sing [Music] god bless you family and family if you do have time to fill that card out that would be outstanding it shouldn't take but a couple of minutes to do that just go in to the right there
