Sunday Morning Worship Service

amen amen so good to be in the house of God here today amen amongst friends thank you for the opportunity to speak to this congregation I am grateful to be standing behind a Pulpit of Legends and Patriarchs in our movement as a pastor I know what it's like to share my Pulpit I don't take it lightly today there's only 52 days or 52 Sundays a year your pastor has given me one of those today a good friend of mine told me that Sunday thing comes around quite often and you got to be you got to be prepared amen it is so what an honor today to have my wife with me Sarah Sarah Joe Nichols celebrated her birthday yesterday amen 20 21 years old again this year and we're celebrating our anniversary in a few days from now and the reason is is because we went down to the courthouse on her 18th birthday and filed for a marriage license there in Indiana and those Jokers make you wait three days a three-day residual to make sure it's for real and so we had to wait three days to get married and uh so our anniversary is just three days outside of of her birthday just to tell you just a little bit about myself brother brother McCool brother M C McCool or MC cool we learned that in Germany he has a reputation about himself outside of this country he is MC cool outside of this country and my daughters have fallen in love with him and they talk about him quite and quite often uh Bishop seen Bishop here this morning thank you thank you for allowing me to be here Pastor thank you for allowing me to be here the Pastoral Stafford Whitley thank you for allowing me to be here I am a home missions pastor and I'm going to stay in my lane today I'm going to speak from the I'm going to speak just from the direction of a home missions Pastor I really cannot bust out of that mold I've tried many times it's just not done a real good job with that but my wife and I we have started eight churches seven of those churches are still thriving today I wish I could say that all eight of those churches are still thriving today but we've learned a few things along the way we've planted churches we've had sister works we've had daughter works we've had preaching points it has been an honor of my wife and I that we have raised up 12 men in the gospel that have gone on to Pastor their own churches in just 25 years of marriage 12 men it is an honor today it is an honor today to be in the ministry I believe that God has a Revival for Knoxville has a Revival for Knoxville I said that one time in Kenya Africa that God wants to do a great work here this morning and there was so much disbelief in that place because there was a hopeless situation that they could not believe that God would want to do a great work through them but here we are we are standing and sitting in the finest of all establishments in Apostolic movement can we still today have the belief that God wants to do a work for us here today how much more should we have hope in Revival amen how much more should we have hope that God he has already seen us through that God you're going to see us through the remaining portions amen God has a Revival it's a and I say that I said all that to say this I said while I was seeking God about today's service yesterday he spoke some words to me and I said God those are easy words in the whole Mission Church those are easy words in a small church but he spoke the words to me that he wants to double the size of this church and I said God you're going to ask me to stand behind a Pulpit of a mega church like this and tell them that God wants to double the size of this congregation it's easy it's easy to have faith when it's eight folks out there and it's easy to have faith when it's 40 folks out there amen but the god of the eight and the god of the Forty is still the God of this great church here today amen there's not going to be room enough to contain what God is about ready to do in this city and this church [Music] I want to look at the parable that Christ gave us about the structure of church growth so good to have brother Perez Bishop Perez here in the congregation I've seen brother Perez also amen before we move to our scripture text thank you brother for being in the house of God with us today Amen in the Book of Luke the 15th chapter in the third verse we're going to begin our passage of scripture I'm going to be looking at this Parable that Christ had given to us about this principle that he spoke to me yesterday while you're finding Luke 15 and 3 we're going to read verse 3 8 and 20. I have a few evangelist friends of mine that called me up and said brother Nichols how in the world did you get an invite to Knoxville [Music] and some of those evangelists are going to come tonight just to see it for their own two eyes to believe that I'm really here in Knoxville amen Luke 15 and verse number three it says any spake this Parable unto them saying what manner of man of what Manner what man of you what man of you I know that we know this passage of scripture well but I can guarantee you we have passed over these words here what man of you having a hundred sheep if you lose one of them doeth not leave the 90 and the nine in the wilderness and go after that which is lost until he find it what man of you what man of you in the eighth verse just skip a couple verses ahead it says either what woman having 10 pieces of silver if she lose one do it not light a candle and sweep the house and seek diligently until she find it what woman woman having 10 if she lose one do it not light a candle and sweep the house and seek diligently till she find it just a couple verses ahead to the 20th verse and he arose and came to his father but him when he was a yet great great way off his father saw him and had compassion and ran and fell on his neck and kissed him in this I would like to point out this hidden little gem here what brother of you I want to preach for the next few moments on this thought my church my treasure my church my treasure this passage of scripture begins with the subject of being lost in the wilderness and I'd like to deal with the subject today of the sheep the coin and the Sun but really want to deal with the with the aspect of the brother in my closing we are today we are today beginning here of the Lost in the wilderness I I raised a few goats or my girls raise a few goats there in Texas and and uh we've learned some things about some goats goats we'll eat anything if it is within their reach they will they will climb to the ends of their hoofs and they will stretch their necks as long as possible longer than you think their Nets necks could even stretch and they will nibble and nibble and nibble until the very essence of the thoughts of that plant is gone I got bamboo that surrounds the goat pen and they will climb to the highest extent and nibble every single strand of uh the bamboo that is surrounding their pen this passage of scripture is telling a story of sheep and if you'll notice something about sheep while they are eating they're a little different than goats goats are looking around just a little bit but while sheep are eating they are they have tunnel vision they are very directional in their thought process just one blade of grass to the next blade of grass their head is down they're just simply looking at their very next meal they are concerned about where they're going out to eat after service today I already have plans of where we're going to eat after service today MC cool is going to text me the address of where we're going to eat today and if you were being truthful with yourself today you have already as my scripture title has been read you are already plotting out the restaurant of where you are eating today apostolics are very food driven we are very food driven we move from one meal to the next meal I I am am I alone here this morning I love to give me a boiled egg in the morning it satisfies me hey man we got some chickens too so I like to give me a boiled egg in the morning it just satisfies me it just but you know what I'm thinking about my ham sandwich for lunch or my turkey sandwich for lunch as soon as that boiled egg is gone and and if you were truthful with yourself today you'd already be thinking about dinner today amen you know uh uh the sheep in the wilderness the the one that was lost was crying out was crying out it was crying out here we find this parable of a good flock of sheep nothing nothing wrong with this flock of sheep that that's why when God spoke this to me yesterday I said God I'm going into a perfect church this church has everything together just I looked around there's so many moving Parts here it just blew my mind of how many Ministries and what they're all doing this is a perfect church but God said I'm going to grow this church and you know I had to wrap my mind around that because you know sometimes growth is not just simply because something's wrong gross sometimes are just simply because of the god that we serve and because of how merciful god is that we serve sometimes growth is just simply because the god that we serve today there was nothing wrong with this flock of sheep I don't stand behind this Pope and to talk about growth because there's something wrong today in fact this this flock of sheep that was listed in the scriptures was known as a hundred fold it was a hundred member flock of sheep which is above the average it is above the average of the churches in America today and I I stand behind this Boba today knowing that this church is above average no doubt that this this this flock of sheep was was fat and they were sassy and they were healthy and they were well protected there was no big Schism in this flock of sheep there was no big issue there they were just doing what they knew to do and yet one of that that flock was lost amen amen just one of that flock was lost now if you look at that that's only one percent and but I'll tell you if I look out across this congregation today if I'm looking at one percent that is larger than most churches today about the Revival that God spoke to me about this church if we're just putting together the math of one plus uh one equals two amen if this was just one percent of the parable that God was given to this flock of sheep that one of those one percent Revival is going to come from the Wilderness I'm here to tell you that can this church contain a Revival of one percent of lost sheep in the wilderness today there was no reason found in the scriptures of why this sheep was lost but it was lost it was isolated not not now it was not born to be lost it was it was not it was not created to be lost the Sheep was not born to be lost it was not created to be lost it just it just it just found itself lost and matter of fact the the Natural Instinct of a sheep was to hurt it is to be gathered it is to gather it but it found itself alone in the darkness of the Wilderness the sheep that never intended to be lost it now found it it just simply says it found itself lost in the wilderness and too many times in church we're sitting in the Pew of the church and we just assumed they want to be lost that homeless person on the side of the street was just panhandling they must have done something they must have performed some ACT they just want to be lost they you know a sheep was not it was not intended to be lost it's just simply said it found itself lost we justify ourselves feasting after service after a great service and with no regard to the laws and I'm not trying to be a Debbie Downer today but I'll say if we don't stir up in the gift inside of us we are going to miss a Revival that God has for this church that God just simply has for you not for Port Arthur Texas amen but for this congregation there is a gift inside of you amen if you'll Stir It Up God said I will give to you those that are lost in the wilderness it's all their fault and yet this parable saying what man or a man of you could stand to see one lost even if you're above average even if everything's great in the church even if you're a revivalist church from the foundation like you have been Bishop what manner of man of you could stand to see one lost for hell is real the consequences of sin are real what man or a man of you would not leave the 90 and nine and go and find the one that was lost I know it's just one percent and I know it's just minuscule I know it's just a minor detail but what manner of man of you would pay attention to the one percent that's lost in the wilderness they weren't created to be lost they weren't designed to be lost they just found themselves lost in the wilderness we have all we have folks all around us today that are lost in fact 187 603 folks live in this community and I venture to say most of them are lost today amen everywhere you turn around you're going to be able to find someone that's lost in the wilderness it's not the sheep that did anything wrong amen they just it might have just been a broken relationship it might have been discouragement it might have been depression it might it might have been discourse but the Sheep found itself lost nevertheless the Sheep was lost amen but I'll tell you today there is a vital part of the Revival of this church and the vital part of the Revival of this church is going to come from the lost sheep in the wilderness amen I'll tell you a story a few years ago we had a massive hurricane that hit Port Arthur Texas directly and in one day we lost an entire congregation we had only 35 people left in our congregation the rest of them moved away in higher in event in one week in one day in one course the entire congregation said we are not moving back to a hurricane stricken area and I couldn't blame them I couldn't I couldn't say it was something that that they did wrong and something that I did wrong it just just simply the way it was today they were here and tomorrow they were gone just simply because of a hurricane and then church growth comes from winning the Lost amen God is sending us into the Wilderness I had to get a desire once again Bishop amen I had to get a desire once again to go out into the Wilderness amen I can't just simply I just can't simply cry about what happened I can't cry about why they're lost I can't I can't complain about why they left amen it's just not my fault it was just an act of nature God it was an act of God Amen it doesn't matter what the reason is the truth of the matter is they're lost and God said what manner of man of you amen can tolerate the thought that you have a loss a hundred and eighty seven thousand six hundred and three folks lost in Knoxville Tennessee Pastor I know it's Sunday morning I'm supposed to be just up here teaching but I I just get passionate about the Lost God sent us into the Wilderness he said what manner of you would not go amen notice something about the Wilderness it's a place of unfamiliarity it is it is with no understanding amen of which way to go what direction to head it just seems like it's Darkness all around you have you ever found yourself in a place of wilderness not not knowing which way to go just darkness surrounds you have you ever been in dark place amen that no one is texting you no one is calling you you just feel all alone it was just a little over it was just about two years ago I spent 52 nights in a hospital I coded twice within two weeks time I died right there on the table uh two times it just seemed like I was all alone it was just the darkness was around me I was in a Wilderness and then have you ever found yourself in the Hopeless despair of loneliness and then you found yourself in a Wilderness and the church amen God said what manner of you would not wrap yourself around someone that had found themselves in this dark place in this Wilderness amen finding someone that's lost seems like it seems like you're lost in the wilderness you can't hear the shepherd's voice Wilderness holds answers to questions that we have not yet learned to ask everyone escapes the Wilderness on their way to the promised land I want you to make note here that pastors are not the only one commissioned to go to the wilderness I want you to I want you to notice in the scriptures here it did not say what Pastor what Shepherd Of You but I say God's calling some folks inside of this place today this revival is not going to have to have been not going to be able to happen through the Pastoral staff it's too large to be handled by a pastoral staff that God is calling what manner of man of you sitting on the Pew if you would hear the bang of a sheep crying out in the wilderness that you would not go knock on their door that you would not call them and say honey I notice you've been missing amen I know you might feel like you're in the wilderness and you're all alone but I'm here to tell you you're not all alone in your dilemma I care about you I love you and we've been missing you I know you're lost in the wilderness it was the call of the shepherd Voice or the Sheep's voice that led it to its location you have to be attentive to the calling of the sheep the crying of the sheep the bang of the sheep if I was at home I'd be like a goat you know I'd I'd give you a demonstration but I got to stay dignified up in here today amen okay I'm not gonna I'm not gonna obey like a Sheba you got to be attentive you got to be attentive to the call of the Revival dealing with the Wilderness what manner of man of you can we can we quickly go ahead to what woman of you what woman of you can we talk about what's being lost in the house what's being lost in the house not look around brother I'm blown away I'm going to tell everybody about you guys not that everybody already don't know this place is awesome I was from my reserved parking spot in the back I got a funny little story when you sent that to me yesterday I said the same thing to my preacher this preacher in my Pulpit today my my evangelist I thought this is first class Amen to me he topped it off sent me a picture of my parking spot this place is first class and all how can you be lost in this place I was asking how big this place is 200 by 200. it's easy to get lost in this house I got turned around I don't know where the front door of this building is I gotta turn around I went through a corridors and hallways I've seen some fine offices I got turned around it's easy to be lost in the house it's easy and we lost in the house what woman of you not seeing the value of the coin lost in the house I know we don't like to talk about subjects like this but if we're going to have the end time Revival that we've been prophesied about for years we're going to have to get down from the one percent then we're going to have to get hungry for the one percent in the here look how quickly it escalated amen it went from uh 10 coins and one of them now it's 10 percent being lost in the house now we love to hear about folks that are lost in the wilderness but what about being lost in the house is magnificent house that has been built on Revival amen you can be lost in this house how can you be lost in all of that did you not hear those songs can you not hear the messages preached the Heritage that is here how can you be lost in this house God has given to us the principle of being lost in this house being misplaced in this house what woman of you would not see the value I know brother you're you're packed out here this church is massive the nine is here what about the one what about the one you're telling me God can increase our church by 10 percent I don't know if you've got enough seed for 10 growth but yet he gives us the principle he said if you'll trust in me if you'll get a desire for the loss if you'll get hungry for the loss I'll give you more than the one percent amen it escalates through the ten percent how can you be lost in this house you know the coin the value of the coin has not changed it was just simply lost here today and gone tomorrow it was in her grasp yesterday but now it's lost it was in her possession but now it's misplaced it was it looks like all the other coins not much has changed it looks like all the rest of the coins still looking the part dressing the part talking the part walking the part and yet they're lost in the house it was misplaced it resembled the other coins and now it's lost in the very same house not really gone anywhere but not really being discovered any longer have you ever lost your cell phone I've lost my cell phone from time to time in fact honey you better try to find it it's not up here with me I've lost my cell phone from time to time I'd holler out to my kids would you call my phone honey would you call my phone my phone's always on silence for that ringer we'll drive you crazy but just the thought that that phone could be ringing in another room gives me hope that I could find it hey man that cell phone uh it's still going through the motions it might be on silent and it's not with me but it's still going through the motions I know the screen lit up and it's vibrating somewhere it's still going through the motions although the cell phone still works it's value uh it value has changed because now it is not operating in the in the realm that it was created to operate it it is not satisfying the need that it was designed to satisfy although the cell phone still has function it is not operating in the intent that it was created for God never intended someone to be lost you said you got all of that out of this passage of scripture amen I'm here to tell you amen God said what man of you could allow someone to be now what woman of you could could be satisfied with 10 percent being lost in the house it's not because they're not talented it's not because the value is lost in the house I've seen too many folks sitting on pews that could be Sunday school teachers and choir directors and preachers and missionaries but somehow some way they got lost in the house it was one altar call that they missed it wasn't one song service that they just stepped back and said let the praise team do their job it was one sermon that they tuned out and was worried about their life and worry about the busyness of Life they were lost in the house how many missionaries could be sitting in the pews today preachers keyboard players drummers greeters ushers the church the church is the Traveler's Inn where the wounded are healed it is where we grab a hold of a coin that is tarnished amen a coin that is discolored a coin that seems to have lost its glamor and its hope and we began to polish that thing uh amen I don't know about you in Knoxville but we don't get polished coins on the wrong side of the tracks in Port Arthur Texas we get all the tarnished ones the ones that they they need some polishing and then they need some buffing they need God to turn some things around they don't walk into our building all perfect they don't walk in and say I'm a Sunday school teacher I'm a drum player amen a matter of fact if we ask someone it's just it's just a joke around our church if we ask someone do you play any instruments yeah yeah we play the try the triangle I mean we are in a colorful congregation we should have mortal players amen what do you play you know I I play I play that that recorder Amen in the sixth grade amen uh you know I'll tell you today it's just that we get the ones we we got to polish them up amen and when they come into the church out of the Wilderness we can't expect them to be a shiny coin amen but we got to discover the lost treasure that walks through the doors of the church and sits on the pews of the church I apologize I told you right up front I'm a home missions pastor and that's the only message I got of how to build a church amen and I hope in 40 and 50 years from now I can be like Bishop amen and send back and seeing a beautiful church that was built from God Amen but we've got to discover there's going to be lost in the wilderness and there's lost on the pews I'm gonna try to preach like an evangelist tonight I'm just trying to teach you today little principles of sheep calling the scripture says how do you how do you discover him I had to ask myself this question when starting a church how because we don't have the bass player we didn't have the we didn't have it what we needed we didn't have the song leader it was me my wife One microphone and a Yamaha speaker Mike Lord you have lights around here we had in our Tabernacle we have the old can lights and or the old hanging lights and and I think we only had maybe one bulb in each one of those things working I had asked myself to question how how can we build a church how can we grow this church the answer has always been the same the Bible says she lit a candle should turn the lights on she illuminated best way to discover Talent that's sitting in the church that God sent in is have red hot services have Holy Ghost moves of God Amen I'm talking about the kind amen that's undeniable when people leave that I feel God Amen every time people drive by the building I felt the presence of God Amen I'm talking about a God that will transform lives amen she lit the candle what woman of you and the church is likened unto a woman and this is a cry to the church again it's not a cry to a pastor the pastor is doing his job he is crying out to the church what church of you wouldn't that light a candle and have red hot Church what church of you amen when the songs oh my god when the songs got kicked up today I felt the Shekinah Glory of God Amen what kind of church would become numb to singing of that type of measure what kind of church I'm going somewhere here today I'm going somewhere here today church is liking unto a woman he's coming back for a pride Christ used strange language in fact it was borderline offensive what kind of woman what kind of church my church my treasure God spoke it to me my church my treasure I look out and I don't just simply see the years of Heritage of treasure but I look out as a whole missions Pastor today my eyes are tainted they are tinted I'm looking through the goggles of a home missions church amen I see a great Revival amen a Revival that's coming out of the Wilderness they're just gonna come out of nowhere they're lost they need this church but I also see a Revival of those that have sat inside of this church a renewing of the Holy Ghost and then you might have been lost and misplaced yesterday your value might not have been appreciated yesterday you might not have seen why God called you yesterday your purpose might not have been discovered yesterday but God said I'm polishing some things up all right my church my treasure we must make disciples Bishop McCool and Pastor McCoo I don't know how many more disciples you can make we've raised 12 men to go off and Pastor their own churches I don't know how many more I got left in me I had a full head of hair when I first started pastoring crazy we sold everything we had moved halfway across the country to start a church in a community I knew not one person I don't know how many more I got in me but that don't stop me every time I see a treasure sitting inside the church and say I'm gonna work on you just a little bit because God has something greater for you amen you know I've seen some things I'm discovering some things in you I'm disciplined some things in you because our Revival if you're statistically and mathematically if you look at it it's going to be Crater of the talent sitting in the church than the ones that come from the wilderness God gave us this parable of lost treasure sitting in the house we we need to light a fire today amen I know you have red hot services and I know it's the best of the best amen but I'm talking about discovering Talent that's sitting in the Pew today amen when I first started my first church I was like God send me a musician send me a worship leader he may send me a Sunday school teacher and Outreach director can I tell you today the treasure is in the church and then now we have 15 musicians plus we have 12 praise singers we have a be free recovery program we have seven small groups we have abundance of Sunday school teachers we have a media Department we have producers camera operators ushers greeters a parking lot of tenants and then I'm here to tell you the treasure is in the building today [Applause] we have a principle around our church that after someone's come to our church uh for three times consecutively that we ask God God why have you sent them into this church we want to discover the value of them in your kingdom God we want to we want to put them to work we want them we want them to know they are of value in our congregation and God I want to develop them that one day you could send them out and they could have a great congregation a Revival is in the Lost Treasure one last point I'd like to make today now you're not going to find these words in the Scripture it implies it says what brother of you but man of you can say it's not the pastor's responsibility to win the lost it's mine what woman of you what church would say we have a responsibility for the Harvest that God has for us to discover the talent that he's given to us now what brother of you and this is really getting to the point where God was speaking to me yesterday I want you to notice that the father was stationary he was just simply in place the son had asked him to give me mine inheritance while you're still alive and and the scripture tells us that he gave it to them he gave it to them this one young man that I'm talking about here decided to go into the world and Live It Up he leaves the protection of his father's house he decides I can do it all on my own now now I know you're probably not even thinking of anybody that's ever thought these things or you've never seen anybody ever done these things but but in Port Arthur I know lots of folks that are they got the mentality I can do it all on my own I I don't need the help of the church I don't I don't need a pastor to tell me what to do I I don't know I don't need that and I don't need this he he thinks he knows it all he knows more than everyone else he gives uh he could give me my inheritance I can do a better job with it this young man has a me myself and I mentality hey I'm going to do what I'm going to do I'm going I'm going to have some me time I'm gonna I'm gonna I'm I'm gonna you know what me time does is it it isolates you it separates you he finds himself all alone in this expensive lifestyle no doubt can I say this can I Bishop I hope I have the permission to say this but no doubt sin is pleasurable for a moment fun for moments but consequence is eternity he was hanging out with whoever he wanted to hang out with he was living a life full of this world he was doing all the things that he had heard about it he was going to the places that he was set told that was so cool but the Bible tells us that this time began to run out I'm sure it's not like this in Knoxville but in Port Arthur every time someone leaves the church they get a promotion they get a they get a new car a new house they they posted all over Facebook Instagram and Twitter because sin is pleasurable for a minute but this man found out amen that it came to an end can I tell you a story I raised pigs also I'm not a farmer believe me I'm really a city guy we live we live in the city my yard is a postage stamp but I got a farm on her yard my in fact I think our house might be bigger than our yard how about uh I raise I raise the hog too and and you know we were going through a trout there in Texas and I look out in the Hog Pen still had a Waller brother brother McCool I'm tight or I am cheap I I really am it's really cheap and uh and I was like there must be a water leak there must be a water leak and and I'm like that pig still has a pond going on back there I got to go and investigate and find out how that thing still has a pond back there and so I go invest here I find no broken water pipes I find where there's no water coming from anything it just water exists out of nowhere and so and and so I I go back to researching and I look up you know all I can do all things through YouTube and I saw I give I go back to YouTube and I start investigating about a pig and a Waller and and you know what I found out about a pig in a while you know you know a hog drinks 45 gallons of water a day yeah about 50 gallons thank you my brother hey man about 50 gallons of water a day can I tell you I didn't need no broken water pipe for that pig to have a Waller hey man that pig learned how to make his own Waller and how many times have we seen folks go to this world and they learn how to make their own Waller and we sit back in the church you know you're sure not done that you did it to yourself you brought this on to yourself and that pig just made its own wallet and that young man was sitting in the pig's while eating the husk of the Corn of yesterday's blessings and yesterday's meals and he sat there and he thought in my father's house my servants have a better than a man living in a pig's water in yesterday's meals I'm in my closing I'm giving you hope and I'm gonna quit closer sitting there in the Hogs Waller my father's house I will return to my father's house remember cool and this is where God the Holy Ghost started speaking to me I know the responsibility what manner of man of you what church what woman of you would not here it is father on the side of the hill and her son comes and he runs and he throws himself on the neck of the Sun he Embraces him now that father gave them the inheritance brother and brother but the brother's response is what's being noted here or the lack of response is what's being noted here the father had to remind him go and get you a ring get you the finest robe put it on him why why should I do that because we're going to have the greatest Revival this church has ever seen it's going to come from the wilderness it's going to come from the treasure that's in the church but I'm here to tell you there's some Sons that's going to come home today there's some daughters that have gone the wrong direction today there's some loved ones God the Holy Ghost started speaking to me and I don't think I've ever dealt with this subject amen but there are some loved ones that's going to be coming home today amen there there's some folks that that you thought there's no way they're in the pig's wall they've done it to themselves they're just made a mess of their life they've just made a disaster of their life but God said there's some sons that are coming home there's some daughters that are coming home and it's important of the church's response when they come to the house of God the father's opened armed the father Embraces but the father has to say to the brother go and get the signal go and get the Signet and the robe and prepare how can you stand in front of a church this size and say God wants to double it he said if you got the faith for the eight y'all might not want me back tonight I'm telling you there's a daughter here it's on someone's mind and the mother's concern is how is the church going to
