heaven hallowed be thy name thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us and lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil for thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever amen won't you remain standing for our congregational bible application pledge followed by our scripture reading for today's sermon we believe that faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the word of god we can't just listen to or read god's word we must do what it says otherwise we're only fooling ourselves for it is in the application of god's word that our lives will be changed so lord grant us the courage to do what your word says we declare and declare that we will never be the same in jesus name amen for those who have your bibles with you uh whether it's electronic whether it is in the printed version hallelujah we want you to turn with us to the book of beginnings the book of genesis the book of beginnings the book of genesis and i want to read in your hearing the a clause of the 20th verse of the 50th chapter genesis chapter 5 50 of verse number 20. again genesis chapter 50 verse number 20. genesis chapter 50 verse number 20. amen do you all have it amen let us commence to reading but as for you you thought evil against me but god meant it unto good to bring to pass as it is this day to save much people alive for a few moments i simply want to preach from the a-clause which says but you meant it for evil you thought evil against me but god meant it for good hallelujah hallelujah but god for a few moments i want to preach from this thought uh but god you may be seated in the presence of the lord but god but god hallelujah i dare you to open your mouth and just say but god but but god i don't know what you're going through today but but god you might be broke blessed and disgusted but god you may not be feeling your best but god hallelujah your money may be funny and your change could be a little strange but god your kids might be acting a little crazy but god coronavirus might be going up but god you might be struggling but god hallelujah i dare you to put a but god on your situation today come on let's give god a praise for but god hallelujah turn to somebody and say but god but god but but god but god but god now let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in thy sight o lord my strength and my redeemer let all of god's people say amen for you meant it for evil but god meant it for good i pray today that you will experience a butt god moment in your life i i i kimberly england i love this story um it's actually actually uh it's actually the manifestation of psalms 23 5 that says thou wilt prepares a table before me in the presence of mine that's a but god moment when god when god makes your enemies come to your house sit at your table and has to eat your food but can't eat it until you give them permission that's about god moment my brothers and sisters this is what's called sweet retribution uh poetic justice if you will you see in the text joseph got the privilege of not only helping his family but he also got the privilege of saying to his haters i'm talking about those who sold him into captivity i'm talking about those who tried to kill him he got the opportunity deacon jonathan mitchell to look them in their face and say you meant it for evil but god he meant it for my good but not only for my good for your good too and god let him go through all of the pain god let him go through trials mother martin god let him go through tribulation god let him go through through through all of all of that suffering and trauma god let him fall down to be raised up he saved him that he might save others he saved him that he may save the lives of many and at the time of the text paul led watson god was the man he was the man jacob was joseph was the man initially you see it wasn't always that way but initially joseph was the beloved of his father and his family until he made the mistake of starting to share his dreams and visions turn to somebody and say you can't tell all your business you can't share everything with everybody can i get a witness here and then he became hated by his own flesh and blood the bible says that he was thrown into a horrible pit he was sold as a slave taken from everything that he knew and he loved separated from his family for decades wrongly accused are you listening today uh despite his honesty potiphar's wife tried to set him up he worked hard and it was a man of integrity but was wrongly imprisoned and left in prison despite his hard work and his innocence and through it all joseph appeared and was promoted to the top position in all of egypt oh i love this story oh i love this story i love this story and instead of and instead of now fast forward there's a famine in the land and the very ones that that put them in the pit the very ones that sold them into captivity the the very ones that forgot all about them the very ones that that that that that went and lied to daddy and said uh your favorite your beloved is now dead the one that calls havoc in the family now they're face to face with joseph and instead of saying sell them instead of saying put them in the pit instead of saying enslave them instead of imprisoning them or even worse than that day they instead of saying kill them he said you meant it for evil but god he meant it for he meant it for good hallelujah you see joseph's story reminds us of this truth and this is the guiding principle of the text that no matter the circle says god holds the ending in other words god gets the last word oh yeah i don't know what your what your current situation is but god gets the last word you see god doesn't matter it doesn't matter to god that you at rock bottom because god made the rock god listen god has the last word over your situation turn to somebody and say god gets the last word you see my brothers and sisters when we are gods in other words when we are we are god's god god god when we are god satan can never triumph over us while he may press people may disappoint you they may talk about you they may stab you in your back they may talk about you like a dog they may hurt your little feelings hallelujah but here's the shout they don't get the final say hallelujah i'm so glad that i don't have to live according to other people's perceptions of me can i get a witness here it doesn't matter what you think about me what matters is what god says about me can i get a witness here my brothers and sisters god gets the last word god gets the last word god gets the last word there's always always a but god moment oh yeah turn to somebody to say words are important oh yes that's why we must watch our thoughts because they become words words are important we must watch our words because they become actions ah words are important that's why we must watch our actions because they become a habit we must watch our habits because they become our character we must watch our character because they become our destiny and one of the most powerful words is a real small word in the english language is the word but hallelujah it's real small but it's it's it's a powerful word you see but but this this word but is a small conjunction in the english word you know conjunction junction what's your function you know now i'm telling my age you just had a birthday happy birthday to me okay come on now yes yes you see you see it's it's a conjunction it's it's conjunction uh digging my reason it's a conjunction which literally means on the contrary meaning accept but as a preposition it means it means accept or save and that's an adverb but means only adjust but according to bishop rudolph mckissick but is a contravening conjunction that gives a subordinary feeling in other words but has a grammatical power that negates everything you see all the good and the bad that came before it when you put a butt in it it changes it hallelujah you see my brothers and sisters you don't have to live or stay behind all you got to do is put a butt in your life can i get a witness here and the truth of the matter is as human beings we all experience pain oh yes but but can i shout you just a little bit turn to somebody and say i don't look like what i've been through is there anybody besides me that don't look like what they've been through oh yes my hair may look good you know my nails may be done i might have some extensions in my hair but i don't look like what i've been through can i get a witness here and so and so as humans we all we all suffer we all experience pain we all have heartache we all suffer hallelujah but we don't look like and in fact we all cut and we all bleed are you listening to me but well that buddy is but although we are human we experience pain we experience heartache we have spirit headaches and sufferings and we when we're cut we bleed but we all have moments can i get a witness here that we are not proud of i'm talking about something that if if it was known could disqualify could devour you could even ruin your reputation but then but then but then god enters the picture and something something something something uh something gets added when we put god to our butts [Laughter] i was poor but god are you listening i was divorced but god uh he left me but god i'm sick but god i had cancer somebody gonna shout in a minute but god i was in jail and on drugs but god i was a liar but god i was a chief but god i was a still i'm going to come down your row in a minute but god um i was hopeless but god i was helpless but god i was i was i was an act something other than the black god anybody here was a whatever it was but god anybody ever here have a but god in your life oh i wish i had time i would let you tell your butt god testimony you see my brothers and sisters and if not don't worry about it keep on living keep on having birthdays keep on breathing and you will encounter you will experience a but god moment in your life can i get a witness here hallelujah and if you haven't already the bible says that faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the word of god and here are some of my favorite buts in the bible uh you see god has a few buts or but god's in the bible that can hold you until your change come hallelujah turn to somebody and say it ain't over yet but god yes he is one of them for the wages of sin is death but the gift of god is eternal life through christ jesus here's another one but god commended he demonstrated his love for us that while we were yet sinners christ died for us oh here's one of my favorite eyes have not seen ears have not heard nor has it been revealed what god has prepared for him but god has revealed it to us in his holy spirit ah no temptation is overcome overtaken yet such is coming to man but god is faithful that he will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able to bear hallelujah but god signifies a redirection in what we are able to accomplish or anybody want to but god in your life hallelujah it means listen if god is about to reverse that thing turn around and say reverse it reverse it god is about to reverse that thing you've been suffering too long you need a butt god in your life you see but god brings hope when you can't see your way through but god means our pain and our tears aren't the end of our story but god means not our circumstances always get the last word my brothers and sisters the enemy doesn't get the last word of your situation death and disease don't get the last word hallelujah because there's always always always a but god in your life i dare you to speak on faith and say but god [Music] when was the last time you had a but god in your life you see maybe you are desperately in need of a but god situation hallelujah you see when i look at tv and i hear i hear i hear i hear of all of these shootings 45 people got shot but god i said 45 people got shot in in chicago but god did you hear that you still here 45 people got shot but god i'm gonna keep saying that today 45 people in your city got shot but did you hear what i said kendall 45 people got shot but god 45 people got shot doing the same thing you were doing but god hallelujah in other words but god kept you but he he made a way out of no way can i get a witness it wasn't that they didn't have no guns there they just chose not to shoot you can i get a witness you had a but god experience that you didn't even know it cannot get a witness it wasn't that you wasn't talking stuff you were talking stuff but god kind of get away wasn't that you wasn't drinking you weren't drinking but god can i get a witness here hallelujah but god but god but god moments arrives in in seasons of your life when everything is against your hurricane ida came through america but god you're listening the telebrand took over afghanistan but god coronavirus numbers going up but god climate change and global warming but god you see in times like these only god can reverse the situation and let me tell you don't don't don't think don't think it's because you're so smart don't think it's cause you look so good don't don't don't even think it's it's cause you slick you know don't don't even think that you know you got streetwise no no it has nothing to do with it it's just simply about god even in my ignorance but god even when i wasn't wasn't right with him but god even when i wasn't praying for god even when i wasn't studying charlie's but god but god but god but god but god but god but god but god you see genesis 50 20 shows that what god can do with something is meant to harm you god intervenes you see you see he can not only protect you in it but he can also promote you because of it [Music] preach phelps i think i will i said he can not only protect you or keep you but he can also promote you in it you see that's exactly what he did to to joseph he didn't see a lot of times we you know our theology is really messed up you see see sometimes and see i can hear it in the spirit you know see our theology is messed up and let me tell you why our theology is messed up because because because we want a god that that that that that don't allow us to let nothing happen you don't want to go through nothing you don't want to experience no pain no you don't want to be sick you know and i'm not i'm not wishing sickness on you but he never said that you won't go through anything but he did say i would never leave you nor forsake you so so we serve a god that will protect you in this situation though you walk through the valley and the shadow he he will never leave you nor will he forsake you it doesn't mean that you're not going to go through anything hallelujah but what he will do is protect you while you're in it hallelujah and will promote you because of it i'm gonna say that one more time he will protect you while you're in it but then he will promote you while you listen god has a bigger plan for your life hallelujah hallelujah go ahead and just just just talk to yourself prophesy yourself say god has a bigger plan for my life oh it gotta be better than this hallelujah it gotta be better than this or y'all too quiet for me you

he protecting you right now so he can promote you later so that when you get your promotion you won't have the big head when you get your promotion you won't have a big nose when you get your promotion you won't act like you all that when you get to the motion you won't forget the bridge that brought you over when you get to get the promotion you won't act all snobbish when you get the promotion you won't act like it wasn't god i said god has a bigger plan for you so don't let your don't let your anger one of these days i'm gonna preach on anger management because some of y'all got some anger problems don't make me come down your road but you're mad you wake up in the morning with an attitude you go to work with an attitude you go you go back home with an attitude you go to school with an attitude you're mad you're upset that i'm telling you you're mad you're mad but god told me to tell you don't let your resentment and your anger and your unforgiveness hinder you from

just want to pause for a moment to pray for them because i see we got a lot of kids here today i won't have you all come down but just in your area if you don't mind if you see a kid in your area just point at them don't touch them and all that good stuff but just just point out am i right and then also pray for our administrators right those that are part of school in whatever capacity let's just begin to pray father in the name of jesus i pray our prayer protection over our kids our administrators and our staffs i pray right now that you would keep them from coronavirus i pray that you would keep them from bullying and from all types of harm and violence i pray that the school area will be a peace zone i pray for your protection i pray that all of our kids have good success in school this year i pray right now that their grades don't suffer i pray right now that they'll be able to focus as they return back to school i pray that you would keep them now god i pray for every school in the city of chicago and the suburbs god i pray that you would just build a fence all around them god i ask that you would just send goodness and mercy before them as they go to school on the bus god i pray that you would protect them from gang violence and just all kind of foolishness that's in the street that's designed to destroy them god i pray right now that you would just touch our children and let you keep them god you have not given us the spirit of fear but you've given us a power love and a sound mind god i pray right now that our kids develop an appetite for education god and that it will be a joy and not a burden it's in jesus name we pray and we bless god amen hallelujah let's seal that with the praise let's seal that with the praise [Music] i want to encourage you listen to me very carefully want to encourage you number one to walk and live by faith and not by fear this past weekend there was 47 people that were shot 47 people that were shot all right 47 people in the city of chicago all right now i just want to say this all right number one uh number one uh be safe that's number one number number two um be sober or alert all right always be aware of your surroundings all right and if you don't feel comfortable you need to get out of there trust your spirit please listen to me all right number three pick and choose your battles you don't have to argue with everybody you don't always have to have the last word do you hear what i'm saying it's better to walk away and live another day now i'm giving you these these kinds of things i know you already know but but sometimes it's just good to be reminded you know what i'm saying just a reminder all right because god's going to do his job but you got to help him all right so we've been praying for you and covering you and putting all on you and doing all of these things you know um but if you put yourself in harm's way you know there's consequences for everything all right now the other one this last thing i'm going to tell you is going to probably be very hard to do because i understand and especially if you are a a person that believes in this concept of ride or die okay um you know you need to you need to check who you are around all right and especially if your rider dies on a suicide mission okay now i understand because that's the way we were raised right you know you know what i'm saying but but you don't always have to you know and i had to learn that i had to learn that the hard way i had to learn that the hard way and sometimes you just need to learn how to love people from a distance you know because you can get caught up by by association all right so i'm not gonna go preaching already preach my sermon but i just want to just say that while i got you in my in my my control right now all right um but seriously you all you know you don't you don't you don't always have to to um you don't always have to fight all right sometimes you need to be bigger all right and walk away from certain things all right and there may be some people you got to walk away from all right so i know that's a hard thing to do that's a real difficult thing to do and please by all means let let you not be the troublemaker [Music] so all right let you not be the worst of the group because you know us church us church people can be rough in the right camp oh yeah some of us can be rough man lord have mercy all right yeah so um yeah so that's what i would say on that all right just want to encourage you as you start this new year sometimes you just need to to just check who you are and covenant with and be be very careful because trouble begots trouble right and uh if you're not bringing if they're not bringing peace to your inner circle you may have to distance yourself yeah all right so that's all i'm that's all i'm gonna say on that i'm gonna move on um but i do want to say that the same thing i want to say that in regards to the coronavirus the the um the numbers are going up all right and um and i know some of you all are really strongly against the virus and i mean the uh the vax the vaccine and that's your choice all right that's your choice but if you're not going to take the vaccine if you're not going to do it all right then you need to stay away from uh crowds you need to stay away you know mask up you need to social distance you need to protect yourself because the delta variant is real it's not a hoax all right are you listening and um and even kids now love your kids enough because see you know you can go out and get it and then come back and bring it to your kids and kids just don't know but they are now kids are now starting to be hospitalized and some of them are even dying so it's real serious now the government is looking at vaccinating our children but it's not approved yet okay so until then we we need to do it and again i would suggest if you if if your doctor says that you should do it i suggest you listen to your doctor all right so that's all that i would say on that now as a church we will remain open until uh you know the government says hey you all you're closed all right um but all of the organization has to be massed up so therefore we do have a mass command deck and we're going to do that we've been doing really good to my knowledge has not been uh any cases we do do contract chasing and all of those things that are necessary so we're going to continue to do that all right um but just want to say continue to pray be safe all right and uh until you hear otherwise we will be in person amen all right last but not least thank you so very very much again thank you so much for all the cards the texts all of the gifts you all have been just wonderful uh celebrating my birthday and i really really do appreciate it so thank you from the bottom of my heart i really do appreciate all the love you guys have been awesome and fantastic thank you for because the cards the texts uh your prayers whatever you've done thank you so very very very very much all right all right now we're going to transition into our lord's supper so those that are going to be helping us today and won't you come um we are going to have those that are going to be praying and all so those that will be reading scripture won't you come and those that are going to be serviced now to all of our visitors um if you have been baptized you believe in the lord jesus christ we encourage you to partake you know because we have an open table um but we all take our communion together it is a safe secure cup all right and so be careful but you you open the top layer first all right which is the bread and then you open the bottom layer which is the cup all right be careful so that you don't don't open the bottom layer first because if you do that you may spill all right so be very careful you'll see and we always serve and honor and respect our our seniors and we do it two by two as soon as the prayer has been concluded we'll ask that you would line up starting in the back in the rear so once you again [Music] listen and focus and let us be reverent in this time we ask that you minimize any walking and talking [Music] you can you can read sir call your attention to first corinthians 11 chapter starting with the 23rd verse and it reads as follows for i have received the lord that which also i delivered unto you that the lord jesus the same night in which he was betrayed took bread and when he had given thanks he break it and said take eat this is my body which is broken for you this dude and of me after the same manner also he took the cup when he had sucked saying this cup is the new testament in my blood this do ye as oft as you drink it in remembrance of me for his author as ye eat this bread and drink this cup ye do show the lord's death till he come wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread and drink this cup of the lord unworthily shall be guilty of the body and blood of the lord but let a man examine himself and so let him eat of that bread and drink of that cup for he that eateth and drinketh unworthy eat it and drink his damnation to himself not discerning the lord's body for this cause many are weak and sickly among you and many sleep for if we would judge ourselves we would not be judged we shall not should not be judged but when we are judged we are testing out the lord that we should not be condemned with the world wherefore my brethren when ye come together to eat tarry one for another and if any man hunger let him eat at home that ye come not together unto condemnation unarrest will i set in order when i come amen [Music] let us bow our heads father god we thank you we thank you for jesus we thank you for the blood we thank you for the cross god let us examine our hearts right now god if there's unforgiveness there god we give it to you right now in jesus name god we pray over the sacraments today god we pray over every hand that prepared them and every hand that's going to serve and receive god father that they would be a blessing to their spirit and their soul and that they will remember jesus and the sacrifice and that they will remember the promise of everlasting life with you and god in jesus name we pray amen i know it was the blood i know it was blah blah [Music] want to invite our seniors and our visitors those in the rear and those in the balcony to come again two by two [Music] what you will do is just stand and receive in the lord sanctuary won't you please come you will take this sacrament and return back to your seats [Music] those in the lower sanctuary you may come for now [Music] one day [Music] [Music] for me [Music] has everyone been served if not raise your hand so we can serve you [Music] the blood came [Music] foreign [Music] [Music] has everyone been served [Music] he never said [Music] for me yes one day when i was lost [Music] [Music] those that are watching via the internet we'd encourage you at this time to get your bread and get your grape juice the bread is symbolic of the broken bruise body of our lord and savior jesus christ and the cup is is symbolic of symbolic of the shed blood which jesus shed for remission of sin i know it was the blood has everyone been served [Music] we'll ask our leaders to line up [Music] for me [Music] one day [Music] [Music] it was my serious blood it was my savior's blood for me [Music] yes he did [Music] the night in which jesus was betrayed he took bread and he gave thanks lord i thank you and he break it and distribute the bread among his disciples and say take heed this is my body which is broken for you [Music] thank you god [Music] the same matter he took the cup and said thank you and distribute it let us drink together [Music] thank you god i ask that you would pass your cups down to the end and the our deacons and ministers will come and recover them as far as often as you eat this bread [Music] you drink this cup you do show the lord's death until he comes [Music] [Music] for visiting with us for worshiping with us won't you please stand receive the benediction and then the final selection [Music] we [Music] oh [Music] now unto him who's able to keep you from falling and to present you false before thy throne of grace to the only wise god be glory dominion powerful clown forevermore let everybody say man amen turn to somebody to say but god but god but god may you experience a butt god in your life may you experience a butt god in your life [Music] [Music] you
