to be asked to be a part of first Apostolic Church of Maryville Zone line revival what a privilege it is to be able to come into your homes and share the Word of God with you for the next few moments I want to start by giving an honor to Bishop and sister carpenter the carpenter family along with the Erickson's and also the Hammonds quite obviously we're a little biased towards them to Zack and Lauren and Beckham and Hampton I also want to say a great big thank you to the FAC tech team for all the different things they're doing to try to make sure that even though we're homebound that we're able to get some good content and be able to spend some time together online and so with all that being said we're just grateful and thankful for this opportunity those that have preceded me and those will come after me would give them on or as well and and just grateful for the opportunity to be able to share the Word of God with you here in Watkinsville we've been talking about prisoners of hope and back to the basics and we've seen aren't we talked about light and so tonight I want to take a few moments and spend some time with you and just hopefully challenge us and when we're through tonight believing that God is going to just do a work in each and every one of ours each and every one of our lives and so let me just get started well here we are and who would have ever thought we would be in this situation all but forced to go home and stay home and if no one has told you yet let me be the first to welcome you to your own house our dwelling by saying welcome home that's my topic tonight welcome home the largest single investment of our life and a part of the American dream is to be a homeowner home according to Webster is one's fixed residence dwelling place a navy place or country an institution for the infirm for etc not foreign but domestic to the point aimed at our clothes home even in our verbage we understand that really home represents relationship you heard this for years home is where the heart is it's a nursing or care home it's the homeland we homeschool many of you may be a part of a homeowners association it's a homegoing service when somebody passes away it's a home page if someone does not have somewhere to dwell we say they're homeless then according to Webster House is a dwelling place a legislative our other assembly a family a business firm a dynasty a school resident Hall so house is more like a destination or a place so we talk about home we talk about house we talk about house it's like White House court house house arrest house of ill-repute a warehouse an open house a house guest or a guest house so in our verbage we talk and use use the word home and house quite differently although they seem to be somewhat the same and so I want to take several passages and I'll eventually get to the meat of what I want to talk about tonight we're gonna take several passages and just kind of challenge us and again my title is welcome home here we are this coronavirus has put us in a position we we never thought we'd be in who would ever thought that that ministers didn't pastors and preachers and evangelists would be standing behind pulpits or sitting at a table and and cameras on them and their preaching and talking to empty rooms but here we are this is some one of the new normal at least for the next little while and every one of us have been forced and and encouraged and and admonished to to go home and stay home and so while many of you you know you're saying well I'm really stuck at home I feel like I'm incarcerated I hope that kind of changed that and and one of the things I've been telling the church here in Watkinsville is lesson make sure that we do not waste this time waste this season and waste this test that we're going through let's come out on the other side of this with a new normal a better normal a better perspective own own own eternity and make sure that we don't waste this moment with all that being said again welcome home been a while probably since somebody said welcome home to your own house but that's what I'm here to admonish you and also give you that grieving welcome to your own house we've almost allowed ourselves to get so busy that our largest investment has just become another place that we go and come and and and now we're being forced it's more than just a social status it's more than just saying you live in a certain neighborhood now we're actually being forced into our houses and I hope that our houses are becoming our homes Joshua 24 and 14 this is what Joshua says just before he takes his final breath he says there now therefore fear the Lord and serve Him in sincerity and in truth put away the gods which your father's served on the other side of the flood and in Egypt and serve you the Lord and if you seem evil unto you to serve the Lord choose you this day whom you will serve whether the gods which your father's served that was on the other side of the flood are the gods of the amorite and whom land you dwell but as for me and my house we will serve the Lord some may say well you know you know preacher that's going against your you talk about welcome home and Joshua said but as for me and my house we will serve the Lord this is this is not at the beginning it's not in the middle this is at the end of Joshua's life he's about to take his final breath and he's not so much speaking of like the home are the immediate family he's speaking of his descendents he's speaking of those that will come after him and he's just saying but as for me and my house we will serve the Lord what Joshua is really saying is I have made sure that that as long as there is a house of God that there will be somebody from the family of Joshua there to serve the Lord I've made sure that my influence has been a positive influence and and that my children and my children's children and my descendants they'll always be around the house of God because I made sure to live that out in front of them so Joshua said it best as for me and my house we will serve the Lord as for those that are coming after me we're going to serve the Lord 2nd 2nd Kings chapter number 4 let's read this passage this is Elijah to the widow in verse number 1 of 2nd Kings for now there cried a certain woman are the wives of the sons of the prophets and relicense saying thy servant my husband is dead and I noticed that my servant did fear the Lord and the creditors has come to take unto him my two sons to be bondman and Elijah said unto her what shall I do for thee tell me what hast thou in the house what hast thou in the house and she said that handmade hath not anything in the house save a part of all then he said go borrow these vessels abroad of all thy neighbours even empty vessels borrow not a few and when they are coming in thou shalt shut the door upon thee and upon thy sons and thou shalt pour out into all those vessels and thou shalt set aside that which is full so she went in from him shut the door upon her and upon her sons who brought the vessels to her and she poured out and it came to pass when the vessels were full that she said unto her son bring me yet a vessel and he said to her there is not a vessel more and they all stayed then she came and told the man of God and he said go sail to all pay thy debt and leav dial and our children own the rest Elijah to this widow in verse 2 when she says my husband's dead you know he was a man of God the creditors are come to take my two sons and-and-and I need some help he said what do you want me to do how can I help you and in verse two he says what hast thou in the house and sees I don't have anything save a part of all I love that verbage because it says save a part of all because actually her salvation was in the pot of all but the beauty of this story is it starts out as a house because they're trying to figure out what they're gonna do cuz if the sons are gone then quite obviously something's probably gonna happen to the house cuz it's just gonna be the mom they're the creditors may even take the house so it's just the house but the man of God says if you've got some all in your house let's don't give up if you've got some anointing in your house let's don't give up and look carefully what it said it says in verse four and five the whole story that I've just read he said I want you to take and I want you to take your two sons get all the vessels you can and I want you to lock yourself in shut the door behind you I don't want anybody in the house but you and your two sons the pot of all and the vessels I want this house to become a home and so when they said everybody else out that sounds familiar and it's just her and her two boys they're there with this pot of all and all these vessels and here's what's happening they turned that house into the home and God provides and makes away because that's how God is doing some things for us right now some of us we've just had houses but now we're being forced in encouraged to stay home and if we'll let God what we thought was not anything save a pot of all if you could get some anointing in your house you may be surprised your house may turn into a home and when it's all said and done you're gonna walk out of this thing with victory and I love the fact that that last verse says I want you to go sail and I want you to pay your debts and it's not just enough to pay your debts there's plenty left over for you to live on I'm telling you there's a better day after this coronavirus I believe that and I speak that as a prisoner of hope knowing God this guy knowing that God's got this Acts chapter 2 and verse number one is another interesting passage that I'm sure most all of us can quote but I love this because the word house is in it and so let's just talk about this for a few moments acts 2 and 1 and when the day of Pentecost was fully come they were all with one Accord in one place and suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind and it filled all the house where they were sitting and there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as a fire is set up on each of them and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost and began to speak with other tongues as the spirit gave the utterance you may be saying hey preachers you're missing it again it said house didn't say anything about home well let me just tell you what I feel too safe to us tonight it filled all the house where they were sitting it's called a house because the upper room was not designated to be their home it was a place of transaction it's not it's not the the upper home it's the upper room he said it filled all the house it didn't say it filled the home because this is not the home this is the house this is where a transaction happened it says when the day of Pentecost was fully come it and the the rushing mighty wind came it filled all the house where they were setting there appeared of them cloven tongues like there's a fire and it's sad the spirits sat upon each of them here's the thing I wants to know and I don't have time to get into this but it's really exciting to me because when you look at this it's called a house because the upper room was not designated to be their home it was a transaction they were not to stay there they were to go from there and from that uh that upper room a hundred and twenty that were filled in that house they ended up turning their then-known world upside down but I want to tell you there's another little nugget in that ax2 one through four the Bible says the Holy Ghost sat upon each of them it's really that the Holy Ghost started its reign it's set up its kingdom it began to work inside as if we're in a house but it's like every individual becomes the home and so the Holy Ghost the grace dispensation because the Holy Ghost sat upon each of them the Holy Ghost begins its reign and its rule on the planet that's just some good stuff and I hope you'll read about that a little later on and let the Lord talk to you Joshua chapter 2 I love this passage in verse 17 this is when Joshua sent the two spies in to spy out the land and they end up of all places and Rahab the harlot house because see is not the it's not the home of ill repute it's the house it's the harlots house but when it's all said and done I want you to look carefully what happens in Joshua 2 and 17 and when the men are about to leave it says the men said unto her we will be blameless of this thine oath which thou has made us wear behold we come into the land thou shalt bind this line of scarlet thread in the window which thou did it's let down thou did it let us down by and thou shalt bring thy father thy mother thy brethren and all thy father's household home unto thee we're gonna you're gonna be saved but it's gonna be by the Scarlet thread that you're gonna put out the window and everybody that you love has to be in the house but I love the fact that the writer said I want you to bring them home unto thee and it shall be that whosoever shall go out of the doors of thy house and to the street his blood shall be upon his head and we shall begin las' and whosoever shall be with thee in the house his blood shall be on our head if any hand be upon him and if thy other this our business then we will then we will be quiet of 900 which thou has made us to swear and she said according to your word so be it and she sent them away they departed and she bound the scarlet line in the window but don't you love verse 18 the two spies said Behold when we come into the land thou shalt bind this line of scarlet thread in the window which thou Dennis let us down by thou shalt bring thy father thy mother thy brethren and all thy father's household home unto thee I've got to believe that probably her mom and her dad and her brothers her siblings whoever whoever she had that she loved they probably were not happy with her line of work they probably didn't go to her house much because that was probably where she conducted business at but look at what God is able to do he said thou shall bring your father your mother thy brethren and thy father's household home unto thee I love this here's what I wrote down the harlots house becomes a home which produces salvation God's able to take even the worst set of circumstances if we'll come in covenant relationship with God he's able to turn every house no matter its reputation he's able to turn it into a home and that end up being the salvation for all of those that will stay in that committed relationship and stay in covenant relationship with him a couple of more and we'll we'll get to the main passage John chapter 14 we love this one let not your heart be troubled us one you believe in God believe also in me in my father's house are many mansions if it were not so I would have told you I go to prepare a place for you and if I go to prepare a place for you I will come again and receive you unto myself that where I am there you may be also and whether I go you know and the way you know Thomas Anthony him Lord we know it's not whether thou goest and how can we know the way jesus saith unto him I am the way the truth and the life no man cometh unto the father but by me verse two he said in my father's house there are many mansions if you really break this down he's really talking about the father's Kingdom so here's how you could break that verse down in my father's Kingdom there are many homes I'm going away to prepare you a place that where I am there you may be also here's the beauty about heaven and we love to preach about it we love to read about it we love to sing about it you get into revelations and you see that there's no sorrow there he's gonna wipe all our tears away but but here's the thing I want us to understand it will not truly be home for Jesus until we the church the Bride of Christ is there for eternity it's just a place it's just a kingdom but he said in my father's kingdoms there are many mansions there many dwellings there are many homes so here's the thing about it you and I need to get ready we've had to be welcomed back to our our temporary dwellings here but there's coming today my friend when we're gonna be able to to spend eternity with him and each one of us we're not just gonna have a mansion we're not just gonna have a house we're gonna have a home because the home represents relationship the home speaks that there's there's there's more than just a transaction going on the home says to us that hey there's something that's dearly loved there's there's something that's dearly beloved there's something that is important here and and and and and no one's going to come in and just take it and do whatever they want to do so I guess enough of that kind of going back and forth house home house home household and I said all that to get to Luke chapter 15 and this is what I want to spend a little time on and you know Luke chapter 15 is that we call it the lost chapter not that it's lost but it only talks about lost things throughout it so if you give me just a moment I want to walk through some things here and maybe bring some some insight to this this 32 verses of Luke chapter 15 1 through 7 in Luke 15 is about the lost sheep let's just read it then drew near unto him all the publicans and sinners for to hear him the Pharisees and the scribes murmured saying this man receiveth sinners and eateth with them it not something Jesus was a friend of sinners how about you and I are we christ-like enough to be friends with those that are not like us who will move on he spanked this parable unto them saying what man of you having a hundred sheep if he lose one of them does not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness and go after that which is lost until he finds it we know this story is the story of the lost sheep he's lost because he wondered and got distracted or or somebody didn't wasn't keeping up with him to kind of win his merry way in and and and we we love to preach about the lost sheep and we love to talk about the ninety and nine that are here and the shepherd goes after the one and brings it back and we love that whole story in the typology behind it but I want you to look carefully because we understand that she would be in a field or in a foe or somewhere like that but when but when this sheep gets lost it says that the the shepherd will go and and look for it until he finds it look at verse five and when he had found it he laid it on his shoulders rejoicing so he brings it back he's happiest he can be and verse six and when he cometh home he called it together his friends and neighbors say unto them rejoice with me for I found my sheep which was lost I say unto you that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth more than over ninety and nine just persons which need no repentance it's almost as if they were in the field or they were they were they were moving and navigating through and and then the Sheep got lost and and he realizes there's one gone so he leaves the ninety and nine goes and gets the one and when he finds it puts it on his neck with all of his field all the different things that it's been through and he comes back but he don't just take it back and put it he takes it home because this whole thing home speaks of relationship home speaks of the fact that there's restoration that they've been brought back that they've they've been recovered and they've been reunited and they're back in a right proper fellowship I just want you to know the Shepherd is is it's more than just getting you back for the sake of getting you back the Shepherd wants you to come home then when he's on through the next thing that's lost in this chapter is the lost coin it's covered in eight through ten of Luke 15 either what woman having ten pieces of silver is she lose one piece does not light a candle and sweep the house and seek diligently till she find it and when she has found it she calls her friends and her neighbors together saying rejoice with me before I found the peace which I had lost likewise I saying to you there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth you might say well preacher this is message after message again because this is not home this is house but if you understand carefully I know the Shepherd brought the Sheep back home but the lost coin the Tim coins is was a drachma it was a wedding gift it was it was a sign of commitment it was it was it was what the groom would give to the bride to say I'm committed to you and I need you to keep these 10 coins to show that you're committed to me well when she loses one the Bible says in verse eight that she sweets the house it doesn't mentioned the home because here's what it gets down to if she doesn't find the coin it doesn't feel like home anymore because the commitment is slipping I just wonder how many of us that pardon the pastor inside of me right here but I was wondering how many of us we catch ourselves in our home churches all of a sudden feeling like well you know this ain't right and that ain't right and this is not filling could it be that we've lost one of our coins and when we start losing our commitment it starts filling more like a house than a home it starts feeling like a place where you come and just go through the motions you have a transaction rather than having a relationship but hey I'll move on from that the thing I really wanted to get to is in Luke 15 11 through 32 I love this story of the parable of the lost son or we refer to it affectionately as the the prodigal son you know my story we kind of lived through this and that's that's the subject for another day but but when I look at this there's so many things that's kind of jumped off the page a few weeks back we we had our friends and family died and I did a message on what's with the party and I had written down on legal pad because that's what I write my message is out on and try to speak from I had just written down at the top of a page of a legal pad on a legal pad just welcome home and it has just been laying on my desk I could bring it out and show it to you because I thought I thought that the next Sunday I would talk about welcome home but then this virus came and were asked to do services this way and I just kept looking back over that and then when I was I was asked to be a part of this online revival that that that started speaking to me again and I knew I knew I knew really the mean of what I wanted to talk about was in Luke 15 11 through 32 because here's what it is it's the story of the lost son and I don't want to get ahead of myself I want to read it to you but here's what I want you to understand there's more loss than just this younger son because here's what you you and I just leaned in and just give me some leeway here but the father is lost in the house because the relationship with his boys is strained the younger son son is lost in the world he's lost because he's made a bad decision he's gone out and wasted his substance or riotous living so the father's lost in the house the younger son son is lost in the world and the older son is lost in the field he's lost out there laboring he's close to the house but he's in the field he's working he's busy much like a lot of us church folks were close to the house we're working hard but we really have a strained relationship with the father because we think that our good deeds is enough but I'll move on let's just read it and I just want you to as I read through this I want us to do more than just focus on the lost son because there's a lost father he's lost in the house a younger son he's lost in the world the older son is lost in the field or while he's laboring verse 11 he said a certain man had two sons the younger of them said to his father father give me the portion of goods that falleth to me and he divided unto them is living and not many days after the younger son gathered all together took his journey into a far country and there wasted his substance with riotous living and when he has spent all there arose a mighty famine in that land and he began to be involved he went and joined himself to a citizen of that country and he sent him into the fields to feed swine and he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine did eat and no man gave unto him now no pause here because as I read the rest of this story that that deals directly with the younger son the lost son the one that's in the world I want you to notice that the word home our house is never mentioned now let's read it just just be mindful of that verse 17 and when he came to himself he said how many hired servants of my father's have bread enough to spare and I perish with hunger I will arise and go to my father and we've always said we even sing songs I will arise and go to my father's house but it doesn't say that he said I will arise and go to my father and I will say to him father I've sinned against heaven and before thee no more worthy to be called thy son make me as one of my hired servants and he arose and came to his father but when he was yet a great way off his father saw him had compassion ran and fell on his neck and kissed him the son said unto him father I have sinned against heaven and in thy sight no more worthy to be called thy son so he has a repentant heart he's been in the world now he's headed home but he's not calling it house he's not calling it home he just says I'm going to my father I had enough of the world I'm going to my father he doesn't say I'm gonna rise and go to my father's house neither does he say I'm gonna rise and go home he said I've got to get back to Daddy I've got to get back to that relationship I've got to go fix what I messed up I've got to go make right what I splintered I've got to make right what I separated myself from and so he comes back and the father is in the house or at least close to the house maybe on the ports are standing at the gate and he looks and he sees the son afar off and he runs to him and when he gets to him he falls on his neck and they embrace and the son says I want you to know I've sinned against heaven and in thy sight I know I'm no more worthy to be called thy son and that and the father doesn't even address that he just says but the father said to his servants bring forth the best robe put it on him put a ring on his hand shoes on his feet bring hither the fatted calf kill it and let us eat and be merry for this my son was dead as alive again he's lost and is found and and and they began to be merry so the younger son the younger son is driven home by lack and he never mission mentions house or home he says I just got to get back to the Father I believe when we're able to gather again there's people out there that lack is gonna drive them home and the father's waiting and they're not interested in house our home they're interested in a relationship the father is almost lost why did he go away then he's also concerned about the son that doesn't even understand how blessed he is so we got a lost father a lost younger son a lost older son but then we got the younger son he's back and because he wanted a relationship with the father because he wanted to get back to the right place because he'd had enough of everything that was behind because he had enough of what the world had done to him he just wants to get back to the Father now he's actually home he's not a servant he's a son he's not a second-class citizen he's not somebody that's hired he's somebody that been restored fully the road the ring the shoes they've killed the fatted calf but look at what it says in verse 25 now his elder son was in the field and he's and as he came and drew nigh to the house he heard music and dancing first time house our home is mentioned in the story of the prodigal he called one of the servants and asked what these things meant and he said unto him thy brother has come thy fathers killed a fatted calf because he has to received him safe and sound he was angry and would not go in therefore came his father out and entreated him a better word there is begged him and he answering said to his father lo these many years do I serve they neither transgressed I at any time thy commandment little self-righteous if you will and yet thou never gave us me a kid that I might make merry with my friends but he soon kind of feel that spirit but as soon as this thy son was come doesn't even call him brother we stars which has devoured thy living with harlots thou has killed for him the fatted calf and he said unto Him son dard ever with me and all that I have is dying it was meat that we should make merry and be glad for this thy brother was dead and is alive again was lost and is found so the younger son has driven home by lack never mentions house or home he only wants to be in the presence of the father but when you look at the older son the father has to beg the older son to come in to the house because for him it was just a house the father is lost there's times when he sits down at a table he's got an older son there that doesn't really understand how blessed he is but there's an empty seat there of a son that is wayward and gone away but here's what I want us to get when the father goes out to that that elder son he says what what's your problem well why don't you come in why what your brother he said no this is your son he said no is your brother well why won't you come in I just don't I don't understand what's going on that I've been with you I've never transferred I've never broken one of your laws I've kept all the house rules but it never was home for him cuz he never knew how blessed he was and for some reason his relationship with the father wasn't right so the father had to beg him I just want to challenge us while we're going through this trial this test this this time of us being homebound and living inside of our houses and trying to navigate through this and maybe getting on each other's nerves and you didn't play to all the games you can play and watched all the movies you can watch and you're trying to figure out what to do there still may be some more time that we have to do this what I want to beg of you tonight is make sure you don't waste this season because here's what I see here's my message in a nutshell I want you to get this which side of the house of you own are you coming from a world of sin or have you been in and around church all these years but never had a real relationship with the father you've been in the house working hard for the house but it's never become home here's the thing I want you to get the father dealt with both sons outside of the house him dealt with the younger son coming back down the road and he restored him before ever got him in the house the old journey when he come around the curve if you will he saw and hear and fell on his neck and braced him gave him the shoes the robe the ring killed the fatted calf and on the other side of the house on the property inside of the estate there's somebody working in the field who for all intents and purposes actually owns everything there but for some reason something he's gotten so busy maybe weary in well-doing and somehow has become disconnected from the father here's the challenge that I have for us wherever you're coming from here's what's happening God's dealing with us outside of the house there's people that's been away from God for a while God's dealing with them but there's some of us that's been around this all of our life and us not being able to come to the house of God we're having to work out our own salvation with fear and trembling we're having to figure out which way is up what can I do because I can't go get my Sunday fix what can I do because I can't get my Wednesday night fix I'm actually having to pray for myself and read for myself and navigate through this myself so we're outside of the are you ready now we're almost done we're outside of the home church and he's dealing with us outside of the house of God we're in our homes but we're away from the house of God for a while and he's dealing with us he's dealing with the younger son that's gone astray but he's also dealing with us so I I don't know who I was watching and and that's that's that's God's business we're just in the business of planting and watering and God to give the increase but I really feel compelled as a pastor and a minister of the gospel I really feel compelled to reach for the center but I really feel compelled to reach for those of us this in and around this all out of our lives and we're taking it for granted there's times when we could have come to the house of God but we didn't because it was just a house but God's got us outside the house and he's talking to us he's saying hey son I want to restore you and here's this thing about it sometimes it's harder to get those of us that's been around it to actually break down and come into a genuine relationship with God than it is those that have been away because they know what it's like to be away from his presence they don't care about the house of the home they just want to be where the father is some of us have been so blessed and we have so many good things going for us that if we're not careful we take for granted everything God's blessed us with and we end up being we end up being a prisoner to the blessings while while while just completely ignoring the blesser so so here's the thing about it God is is is dealing with us and all of us outside the house you can't come to church you can't come and run the aisles clap your hands leave for joy speak with tongues fellowship with your brothers and sisters the thing the things we've taken for granted we can't do that we're outside the house and God's talking to those that are lost and he's talking to those that are sons that are in good standings when it comes to standards and righteousness but we've lost that first love and so he's saying to us won't you come in it's more than just a house this needs to become your home Church so I'm asking us tonight I'm almost done I'm asking us tonight we saw the house y'all are you coming are you coming down the road coming back on the property coming in for a relationship really true genuine repentance not a 360 or 180 you're done with the world you're coming back where the father's ready for you got a road got a ring got shoes got a fatted calf but what about us that have served diligently but still is not our home church it's the house God's saying I want you to make my house your home and here's what I'll close with I don't know how many times I've heard it in the news doesn't matter what new what new drug they've come up with what new formula they say you mix this with this and doesn't matter what the doctors or the chemist or whoever is trying to find the medical field trying to find a cure for this virus without fail almost every newscast will close with this staying home is the cure if everyone will stay home we'll get to this curve we'll turn this thing around if everyone will just stay home so they're saying stay at home we'll keep the virus at bay and if we can keep it at bay we will eventually defeat it I say to you the father's got us outside of his house and he's saying to the younger and the older son if I can get you home if you'll get home if you'll get in a right relationship the cure is in staying at home if will stay at home stay in love with God sin shall have no dominion over us we'll have victory God will bring us through so the question tonight is which side of the house are you own and also I want you to know God's making a sign for you and on that sign it's just got a couple of words it says welcome home let's pray god of heaven we love you thank you for the privilege to be able to share tonight with those that are viewing with the first Apostolic Church of Maryville online revival I thank you for the privilege of being able to share your word tonight I pray God that you would reach down and touch every individual touch every family touch every home build a hedge around our marriages build bill just build our faith and and and protect us whatever the situation is spiritually physically emotionally financially god we know you have got it at the end of this thing we're gonna receive the benefits and you're gonna receive all the glory go with us and keep us god I pray that that there would be a cure for this virus discovered soon that we'd be able to get back to our new normal back to a place where we're truly in love with you and we're loving you with all our heart soul mind and strength we asked all these things and the massless name of Jesus and everybody said amen god bless you thank you for the privilege of being able to minister to you tonight we love you may the blessings of the Lord be upon your life we certainly hope that the Word of God that you have heard tonight challenges you it is my desire that if you are a believer that this word has drawn you closer to the Lord Jesus Christ if by chance tonight you have been watching and your heart has been touched by God's Word but you have not yet committed your life to God you've not yet been baptized in the wonderful name of Jesus Christ not yet received the gift of the Holy Ghost we want you to know that although there is a band about the attendance at the house of God that our church is open for you to come and pray for you to come and be baptized to receive the Spirit of God please contact the church office and make arrangements to come and meet one of the pastoral team and their pray and be baptized god bless you until tomorrow night may the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be upon you
