jesus said god is a spirit and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth we have endeavored to do that today and i want to express my appreciation to brother dr foster for the invitation for it being ratified by the leadership of this church the elders and those who complete the circle of this leadership and i can say amen to the delectable meal we had this afternoon amen it takes a lot of planning to get that together and then the execution uh that's not a word that's uh quite you know soft execution the carrying out of those plans maybe that's better uh because yeah carrying out those plans uh worked out and we just appreciate the brothers and sisters amen amen amen hi i was outside preaching i was outside the church at avenue k and there were two people taking refuge under the shade on the west side of our building and i asked him if they wanted some water they said yes i said that after they what i'm going to do is i'm going to demonstrate for the purposes of hydration after they did that it said i said now let me tell you about the man who can give you water that when you drink you'll never thirst baptize both of them that day man somebody oh lord the wildlife when you drink of this water you'll never thirst again to see your brother naras over there he was mentioned by brother foster amen church let's get busy uh romans chapter 3 verse 23 i just want to uh just just pick it a little bit more and i i never finished a sermon i just never finished a sermon i just stopped uh does the time begin now or did it begin when i first got up okay all right i'll take it that's all right i'll take it that uh it started when i first got up that's what they're gonna do anyway romans 3 23 for we for all i have sinned and fallen short of the glory of god come short of the glory of god now before i get that let me mention that there are two members from avenue k here today amen part of the backbone of our church sister uh charity russell uh jackson brother and sister crystal russell brother have a new brother brother avenue her brother a dog for smith's daughters two of his dogs they are faithful to the church and they are here came all the way from fort worth all right amen and i'm just glad to have each side here amen but i tell you you can have a better day the cowboys are winning and that's what other folk are watching the cowboys but i'll tell you what i'm judgment david not one catholic be able to help you there's nothing better than the word of god am i right about it oh lord have mercy we had a wonderful time this afternoon for all have said fallen short come short of the glory of god and from that we are develop the subject elisa tried the pandemic nobody is talking about and we talked about how the pandemic has invaded our society and has changed many of the things that we took for granted and the pandemic affects us and the pandemic is dangerous the pandemic has killed relatives it has killed friends it has killed preachers it's taken the lives of neighbors this pandemic is serious more serious than the panicking we're going through physically here and so the subject uh that i took this morning that i'll deal with a little bit for about about uh 15 minutes or so is the pandemic nobody's talking about the pandemic nobody's talking about we have people talking about the pandemic you can hear in conversation about the pandemic anywhere anytime anyplace down here but there is a pandemic that nobody is talking about and it's the pandemic of sin the bible says for all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of god and this morning we laid out our homolytical buoys how uh the symptoms there score and the solution we dealt with some of the symptoms this morning and uh we said that there's a pandemic uh going on in this debt everywhere and that it's important that we address this because sin has a consequence romans 6 and verse 23 the bible says for the wages of sin is dead against god is eternal life through jesus christ our lord the patent nobody is talking about amen as we look at this pandemic nobody's talking about and when i mentioned that nobody's talking about it as i said this morning i don't mean that in the literal sense uh in the absolute sense i know we talk about it our neighbors talk about it and people who've had it talk about it but the cdc is not talking about it president biden is not talking about it and the local news is not talking about it msnbc and fox and the uh channel 4 channel 5 channel 11 channel 8 not talking about it we're talking about it but nobody out there is talking about the pandemic of sin so sin is everywhere and everybody is affected than that we have we have to take our vaccination of cell industry hello somebody we have to take our vaccine of sound doctrine uh that we might not come down yes with the pandemic of apostasy we have some that are leaving the church but paul told us a long time ago that this would happen and as i move along i just want to uh close out by saying that we have religious confusion uh running forth problem i have remained running for throne against god's will and uh we all need to be vaccinated by sound doctrine uh and there are many that don't want to take that shot they want to do what they want to do there was a time when israel did everything the things that were right in their own lives am i right about it now the bible says there's a way that seemeth right unto men [Music] but the him thereof are the ways of death so we can't do it highway we've got to do it god's way matthew 7 and verse 21 jesus said not everyone that said unto me lord lord shall not be the king of heaven but he that do the will we might we're going to get through with this thing but he's to do with the will of my father which is in heaven said but it will come to me in that day saying lord lord heaven i prophesied in the name of thy name have you not cast out devils and in the name have not done many wonderful works but jesus said i'll say to them in that they depart from me i'll never knew you am i right about it so i want to make sure that i'm building my house upon the rock jesus said whosoever hear it he saved the mind and do with them i would like him unto a wise man that built his house upon a rock when the rain descended when the flesh came in the wind blew it and beat upon that house it fell not because it was founded upon a rock [Music] that built this house upon the sand when the rain descended when the floods came and when the wind blew it beat up on that house it fell and gray was the fall of it i don't know about you this afternoon i want to build my house up on a solid foundation because there's a pandemic that nobody's talking about the pandemic of sin and is everywhere and i want to be vaccinated with sound doctrine and uh oh lord and i i just want to give you a one or two of the symptoms uh we talked about some things this morning but i want to give you one of the symptoms of this pandemic uh it's crowleyism there are some people who think that [Music] that makes it right but a crowd doesn't make something right am i right they're a crowd outside their old car but they were lost they were proud of now but those problems going to hell am i right but do you want to be in that crowd let's move to matthew chapter 7 and verse number 13 matthew chapter 7 and verse number 13 that's a big crowd but you don't want to be in that crowd the bible says enter the straight gate for wise again and proud of the way that leaders to destruction the minister that go in there and amen because strength is the gate now is the way which leads to the life few that we that find it well the broad way is the way that many have chosen but i'm choosing that narrow way because i want to go to heaven i want to go to that place where there's no more sorrow no more as i move along i'll talk about the symptoms uh we have uh not only do we have uh the symptom of crowdism just because the crowd doesn't make it right what makes it right is the word of god if it falls in line with the word of god am i right well now we have the uh pandemic of uh intellectual inebriation an intellectual inequation and in other words there's some who drunk with intellectualism am i right oh lord i'm not knocking education i'm not knocking education because education is very important it's a key that unlocks the tour uh and uh but but there's some among us even among our those ones i'm talking about and i'm not knocking you because you have an advanced degree a terminal degree i'm not jealous of you you don't have anything i wish i wanted i'm telling you i'm brother that brother keeper said i've been to the college i'll be into the college trying to prove that this is not wrong that's not wrong and were you to decide that mechanical instruments of music is not as shared when you don't read a thing about it in the new testament words ain't not education messes up sometimes oh out of the country and when i say that i don't mean to be demeaning out of the country and uh you can tell i've spent a lot of time around my day i haven't traveled with him red for him and everything he's on my mind today but i thought about him said that the boy was on the farm grew up on the farm and uh uh grew up on the farm and uh thought one day you know he got to the point where he went to college and uh he came home after two semesters and uh he went out and say i'm just kind of do what i used to do and uh he came back into the house kind of established daddy that old mute won't move you won't move he said well what are you saying to him he said he said he said no no i'm in school i can't talk like that he said well what have you been saying i've been saying proceed rebecca [Applause] absolute [Music] [Applause] [Music] guess what i couldn't put it back together so some of these pseudo scholars that's not a pseudo scholar brother foster he is the real fan he's not a false scholar he can tag down and put it back together and we have others that can do it i'm talking about these young young people young brothers who go out and get education and everything in church is wrong now everything is right now oh no no no no no no no never leave never leave the tradition of the older preachers do you mean to tell me they preached in vain well yeah we understand see i'm not jealous of you because when you get a degree i get a degree if it's something i don't know i don't mind calling brother [Music] you foster that's what a degree is for you don't get it for yourself because when you go to the great somebody say the greatest tragedy is not dying it's dying and not leaving yourself behind so write what you what we wouldn't when brother foster's you know uh that's good i saw the tapes up there that's good because uh you know when his time comes we hope it won't be soon but when his time comes to leave his life we'll be able to watch his chance and still learn i still watch my father's tastes and then so forth and so on how i've made the point so far have i made it going so far all right now i'm closing in conclusion don't you feel better i'm just saying some of our preachers are learning their way out of the church i'm concerned somebody said are you scared no [Music] are you scared you know we never want to project fright in front of our child he said no i'm not scared but i'm very concerned [Applause] i'm not scared of these preachers but i'm very concerned you know why because i have decided to preach it and tell it just like it is whether you like me or not whether you want me or not i'm going to tell it just like it is i don't want to tap the stuff here but i really believe in what i'm saying the school is everywhere first john 1 8 and we say we have no sin we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us the solution the need to be vaccinated by the blood of jesus way back there brother foster is known for that i'm going way way back nobody can do it like him right but i'm going way way back to show you that in order for us to make it we have to be vaccinated have to have been vaccinated and i'm closing by the blood of jesus way back there in zechariah 13 1 the bible says in that day there should be a fountain open to the house of david and to the inhabitants of jerusalem for sin and for unclearness in matthew chapter 26 verse 26-28 the bible says as they were here talking about the blood of jesus as they were eating jesus took bread and blessed it and breaking and gave it to his disciples and said take eat uh this is my body which is broken for you drinking all of it this is my blood of the new testament not of the old testament but this is my blood of the new testament which is fed for a minute the remission of sins if you want to talk about that vaccination of the blood you want me to finish this talk about that alone out now talking about that blood of jesus christ that vaccinates us that uh that we might not uh die of the spiritual death from this pandemic of sin the bible says in ephesians chapter one and verse one paul an apostle of jesus christ by the will of god to the saints which are episodes and the faithful in christ jesus grace be unto you and peace and god the father i hide from the lord jesus christ blessed be the god and father our lord jesus christ who has blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly place whereas it blessed us in christ it's in christ with all uh spiritual blessings and in heavenly places in christ and according to has chosen us in him chosen us watching now watching that trolling us in him chosen us in him who has blessed us with our spiritual blessing in high places heavenly places according to as his children is in him before the foundation of the world that he should be holding black plain before him in love as you move along the bible says having predestinated us don't get into capitalism because you got to be here in order to be ashamed that salvation is to those who are in christ so when you're baptized you are in christ where god designated salvation or redemption amen amen haven't predestinated us after the adoption of children by jesus christ himself according to the good plea of his will to the praise of god of his grace where did it made us accepted in the beloved i'm not accepted because of what i do i'm not accepted because uh a way of uh because of my man-made things but i'm accepted because jesus has made me i accepted am i right first john talked about the blood first john 178 the bible says if we walk in the light as he is in the light we have fellowship one with another and the blood of jesus christ his son clearly that you've been vaccinated by the blood of jesus christ i'm looking forward to that day [Music] [Music] [Music] bye the blood of jesus yeah revelation 7 and verse number one after these things i saw four angels standing on the [Music] of the earth and the wind should have not
