Hello and welcome to the Middletown Baptist Church podcast,
where we are proclaiming the truth to the
world.
My name is Pastor Josh and I want to thank you for listening to
this podcast.
I hope that this podcast can be a blessing to you and strengthen
you in the word of God.
Now come along.
Let's look into the Bible and see what God has for us here today.
Amen.
I never said that I would give you silver or gold or that you would
ever feel the fire or shiver in the
cold.
But I did say you'd never walk through this world alone.
And I did say don't make this this world your home.
I didn't say that fear would find you in the night or that loneliness
was something that you didn't have
to fight.
But I did say I'd be there by your side.
And I did say I'll always help you fight.
You know I made a promise that I intend to keep my grace will be
sufficient.
Every time I need my love will be the anchor that you can hold on
to.
This is the promise, this is the promise I made to you.
I never said that friends would ever turn their backs on you
or that the world around you wouldn't
see you as a foe.
But I did say, like me, you'll surely be despised.
And I did say my ways.
Confound the wife.
I never said you'd ever take the bitter kiss of death or have
to walk through chilly Jordan to enter
into rest.
But I did say I'd be waiting right on the other side.
And I did say I'll dry every tear you cry.
You know I made a promise that I prepare a place that someday, sooner.
Than you think, you'll see him face to face.
You'll sing with the angels and countless multitudes.
This is the promise.
This is the promise I made to you.
Aren't you thankful for the promises of God?
Amen.
They're there, so just keep on walking don't turn to the left or
right.
And in the midst of darkness, let this be your light.
No hell can separate us.
You're gonna make it through.
This is the promise, promise I made to you.
This is the promise.
This is the promise I made to you.
Amen.
Hey, sing this with me, will you?
Standing on the promises of Christ my king through eternal ages
let his praises ring glory in the
highest I will shout and sing standing
on the promises of God.
Sing it now.
Standing, standing standing on the promises of God my savior.
Standing, standing I'm standing on the promises of God.
Amen.
Where would I be without your love.
What kind of love would I be.
Gifted if not for your redeeming hand that reach so low?
Raise me up, let me stand.
By your grace, for your glory.
I.
Am here today story of all the doors you've opened for me that I
might give, I might love, I might
live.
By your grace, for your glory.
Not by my strengthen.
I survived my reckless steps and my selfish pride.
Not by my words of righteousness I.
Open you alone that I am blessed.
By your praise, for your glory.
I am here to tell the story of all the Lord you open for me that
I might give, I might love.
How might live by your grace, for your glory.
By your grace, for your glory.
I am here to tell the story of all the Lord you've fallen for me
that I might give, I might love all
my live.
By your grace, for your glory.
For your glory.
Praise the Lord by his grace and for his glory.
That's what we're here for.
Amen.
And I'll tell you what, a lot of us have experienced his grace
over and over and over and over.
Have we not?
Have you seen God's grace in your life?
My goodness.
I mean, can I tell you something?
When it's 100 degrees outside and you can turn on the air condition,
man, that's God's grace.
I'm telling you right now.
Amen.
I had a person who.
Where were we?
Arkansas.
I had a friend of mine said, hey, listen, we got a place set up
for you all.
It's a tent out behind the church.
And I said, well, I'll be fine in a tent just as long as it's got
air conditioning.
That's what I told them, you know.
So sometimes that's the case.
Man, it's good to see you tonight.
Praise the Lord.
Glad you came out.
We're just going to have a time where we just encourage each
other and have some music and honor
and glorify God and thank the Lord
for the great country we live in.
Do we live in the greatest land on the face of this earth?
Amen.
I.
We live in America, don't we?
Aren't you thankful you're an American?
And I'll tell you, I've always told folks, if people don't like
this and don't like that, they can
move somewhere else.
North Korea, I don't know, wherever.
You know, we're blessed to be in this great, great country.
And as a matter of fact, we're going to sing a song tonight that
has been requested, and I think you'll
recognize it.
I'm going to have you help me.
Sing it a little bit, too.
It's a song that just simply talks about God blessing the USA
amenity.
If tomorrow all the things were gone I'd work for all my life
and I had to start again with just.
My children and my wife I thank.
The Lord above to be living here today cause the flag still stands
for free and they can't take that
away.
And I'm proud to be an american.
And I won't forget the men who.
Died who gave that right to me and I gladly stand up next to.
You and defenders still today amen.
Cause there ain't no doubt I love this land God blessed.
I just thankful.
You'Re an american amen.
From the lakes of Minnesota to the hills of Tennessee across the
plains of.
Texas from sea to shining sea Houston.
New York to LA well, there's pride in every american heart it's
time we.
Stand and say.
Sing it with me.
But I'm proud to be an american and I won't forget the men
who died who gave that right to me
and I graduated stand up next to
you and defend her still today cause
there ain't no doubt I love this
land proudness that I'm proud to
be an American where at least I know
I'm free and I won't forget the many.
Watch me now grab a flight next to you when defenders still
today.
Cause there ain't no doubt I love this land.
God bless.
Are you?
Amen.
Thank you.
You can be seen.
Hey, are you proud to be.
Hey, listen, I know America has got its issues.
Did you know that Israel had its issues back when Paul was walking
around?
You know what I'm talking about?
I'm sure America is going to have its issues.
But can I tell you something?
I believe with all my heart.
It's because of churches just like this one right here in Middletown,
Delaware, that love God, that are
preaching the word of God, that are
having harvest gatherings and having
women's of faith conferences and
so forth, that are moving and moving
forward and come forward and get
on their knees and talk to the Lord.
I believe with all my heart.
That's what's holding America together.
There's no doubt in my mind.
Amen.
I mean, you look at Sodom and Gomorrah, right?
What did God say?
He said, if I could find ten righteous.
Did he say that?
And then he kind of narrowed it.
Narrowed it.
You know what?
Can I tell you something?
I believe there's churches all across America that are holding this
place together.
And you get to be part of that.
Aren't you thankful for that?
You say, well, it's all about the election.
It ain't all about an election, friend.
It's all about our churches.
It's all about.
It's all about the Lord.
It's all about putting him first in our life.
I've had a lot of people tell me they'll say, well, brother, I
don't know, maybe what you ought
to do is keep politics out of your preaching.
And I said, or keep preaching out of politics.
And I say, well, maybe they need to keep politics out of my preaching
because I'm just going to preach
the Bible.
I'm going to preach morals.
I'm going to preach what's right, what's godly, and what's holy.
Amen.
I believe that with all my heart.
And we shouldn't be ashamed of that.
Doesn't matter whether you're a Democrat, Republican or whether
you're whatever, okay?
Independent, or whether you're from the state of California.
I don't know what to say.
But y'all just plan on.
Just plan on preaching it and don't be ashamed of it.
Praise the Lord for that.
I love this next song.
We've only sung it a couple times, but here we go.
We're gonna try.
My faith still holds unto the Christ of Calvary holy rock of ages
clench.
For me.
I gladly praise my trust in things I cannot see my face still
hold unto the Christ of Calvary.
I thought I had to see and feel to prove that what I loved was
really real a passion turn to ashes
these I held to die I found reality
in the same and, oh, what joy to walk
this way I follow nail print footprints
all the way and all the end of where
I'm bound I may not see I choose
hash choose to place my trust in.
Calvary my face still holds unto the Christ of Calvary o blessed
rock of ages for me I gladly praise
my trust and peace I cannot see my face
still holds unto the cries of Calvary.
Amen.
Praise the Lord.
Three days in misery and dread knowing that Christ the Lord was
dead I, Mary arose that first Easter
morning went to the tomb Peter and
John came following up and when they
found the savior gone as they turned
to go John said with a glow he's
living again he's living again.
He rains come on high o yes, it's true he came here tonight.
He rose from the.
Grave.
Roll my stone away and I'm glad to say he's living again when.
This world says our Lord is dead they can't find fruit in what
they.
Said they seek a grave where his body lay this story to end then
I'll take them to a garden tomb.
Show them that hollow, empty room the.
Story lives on he's arisen, he's gone.
He'S living again.
From.
On high oh, yes, it's true he came here to die.
He rose from.
The grave Rome, that's on the way.
And I'm glad to say he's living again and I'm glad to say.
He'S living again living again living again.
I serve a risen savior.
Amen.
He's in the world today.
That's why I believe the church needs to be alive.
I've been in a lot of churches.
My goodness.
You know, I've talked about that before, and I'm just wondering
what is going on, man?
Somebody needs to just wake.
Hey, everybody, next time, leave your pillows at home.
You know what I'm talking about?
I mean, goodness gracious.
You're running to that and you're going, goodness, man.
We ought to be alive.
Alive, man.
Our worship team got up here and began to lead songs today.
And they were leading songs and they were singing and I was watching.
Who was I?
Brother Mark.
I'm watching Brother Mark on the end, man.
Brother Mark's in his own world, man.
When he gets to singing them songs, it's kind of like, hey, don't
bother me right now.
I'm leading the song.
I know I am, but I'm into this, you know what I'm saying?
I love to see the smiles and the happy faces.
I love to see the joy that's on someone's heart when they sing
a song.
You know, we do that.
It's funny, sometimes we'll get to singing songs about America
and people will be more excited about
that than we sing, christians.
And I'm like, hey, come on, man.
We serve a risen savior.
Hello.
You know, so I'm so thankful for that.
Praise the Lord for that.
Hey, by the way, I want to mention real quick, while I've got
a chance, the table in the back,
I hope you stop by there.
Many folks have already stopped by and are picking up these
shirts right here.
I got to tell you, we are trying to get folks in New York City
and in Chicago and in California
to wear these shirts.
You know, I'm kind of kidding, sort of.
Okay.
But I'll tell you what, man.
These shirts have just really made an impact across America, and
I'm so thankful for that.
And many of you, some of you have got them.
You got them in different colors and everything.
We changed the colors on purpose.
So you'll buy them again.
Yeah.
Good strategy.
Amen.
So I hope you'll stop by and take a look at that.
My wife has these beautiful braces, by the way.
Proceeds from the tonight are going to be able to help those that
are in North Carolina.
Some folks have already given, if you would like to help with the
cause to North Carolina, I text over
a link that you can get from Michelle.
Okay.
Michelle has that link.
And you just talk to her and she'll work.
I don't know how y'all will work it out, but I'm sure there's
a way and you can get that and give towards
that.
And so we've got some money we're going to be giving because
of some of the shirts that, because
of the shirts that have been sold.
And if you want to have a part in that, I certainly hope you stop
by the table and do that.
And then, of course, we've got the cds back there, the newest cd.
I've got a.
I feel like I'm on my own desk right here.
And we've got our newest cd right here called our faith still
holds.
Just sang that song that's on that cd.
Many of the songs we're singing tonight are on that particular
cd.
So I certainly hope you'll stop by and take a look at that and
listen.
Brother Frank, did that thumb work?
Okay.
Did you get it in there?
You got it in your computer?
In the computer, right.
And it loaded up and there's all the songs.
You can even put this on your computer at home.
Isn't that awesome?
And then you can run your own disc off for your car.
I can't believe I'm telling people that.
I want you to buy this and the disc.
Okay.
But no, seriously, you can stop by and pick that up.
You can plug it in the USB port in your car.
Many people do that.
So there it is.
I hope you'll stop by, pick it up and listen.
We don't need the money.
We don't.
We don't need the money at all.
All the people I owe, though, need the money.
Okay.
So I hope you'll stop by, take a little peek at what's going on
there.
I'm so glad that sometimes I look, you know, we found out today
back home.
You know, I mentioned, I think I mentioned we had 25, 27 trees that
fell in the yard where my sister,
we, our coach is parked at.
My sister in law's place because we're trying to help my father
in law and mother in law.
And so we're actually parked there.
And we're traveling out of Augusta right now.
And out of 27 big old tall trees, not one hit the house, not
one hit the coach, not one hit the
cars, not one hit the shed, nothing.
The biggest thing they, two biggest things they hit was it hit
a trampoline.
Wiped the trampoline out.
And the second biggest thing was the wheelbarrow.
I mean, it's bent in half.
Yeah.
Oh, and it took out a fence.
So anyway, we're blessed with that.
But my sister in law called us this afternoon at four and said,
the power is back on.
So she is shouting the victory.
Since nine days altogether been without power.
And that always worries me with our motor coach, because the
motor coach will sit there and often
it'll start drawing off the batteries
and things like, I don't turn all that
off.
Matter of fact, I left the water on.
Normally I turn the water off and she said, oh, no, there's water
coming out of.
From one of your slides.
It's leaking out of one of your slides.
And I'm like, what?
And I ended up finding out that one of the pipes, actually,
I don't know how that happens, but one of
the water lines had sprung a leak
underneath the sink and was running
only for about 4 hours, though.
So praise the Lord for that.
She shut it down.
And now my wife's going to hop on an airplane.
We got to be at the airport at 03:00 in the morning at BWA.
And so I can hardly wait.
We gotta be there.
She's hopping on an airplane, she's gonna be flying back, she's
going to the coach, she's gonna get
on the phone and she's gonna say,
okay, how do I turn this water where
I can use it?
Inside the coach.
And we have this distribution system, and I'll coach her on that.
We'll see what happens.
But, man, I'll tell you what, God is good, isn't he?
Just the time you wonder if it's all gonna be okay.
Can I tell you what?
He steps right in, right on time.
Amen.
I'm glad I know a God who.
Meets each and every one of our needs.
And over again, this song talks about it.
When there's nothing but trouble on every side.
And it's so dark I can't remember the line.
I pray to find an answer but there's no way out.
When I've seen the worst of and my world's upside down that's
when God.
Steps in over and over again when it looks like that all hope
is gone in my life that's when God steps
in when I reach the end he finds
a new way for me to begin.
That'S when my my God.
Steps in that's when my God steps in.
And I don't know why he's waiting taking his time but his thoughts
are higher than mine oh, he knows
the perfect moment for my world to change
when it seems too late he puts all
things in place that's when.
God steps in over and over again when it looks like that all
hope is gone in my life that's when
God steps in when I reached the end
he finds a new way for me to begin
that's when my God steps in that's
when my God steps in.
Help it.
I love this part right here.
When I am down to nothing he's up to something working behind the
scenes playing my victory that's
when God steps in over and over again
when it looks like that all hope is gone
in my life that's when God steps
in when I reach the end he finds a new
way for me to begin that's when my
God steps in that's when my God steps
in.
My God steps.
Amen.
Praise the Lord.
Sing this with me.
You know it?
We've sung it before.
What a day that will be when my Jesus I shall see sing it with
me.
What a day that will be when my Jesus I shall see when I.
Look upon his face the one who.
Saved me by his grace when he takes me by the hand me through the
promised land what a day glorious
day that will be there is coming.
A day when no heartache will come.
There is coming a day when no heartache no more clouds no more
mountain no more tears no more tears
to dim all is peace forevermore all
is peace forever on that happy golden
shore oh, what a day glorious day
that will be sing that chorus.
You know it.
Here we go.
What a day that will be when my Jesus I shall see when I look
upon his face the one who saved me
by his grace when he came.
What a day glorious day that.
There'Ll be no Covid there.
I like that part.
All right.
There'll be no Covid there no more burdens to bear no more sickness
no peace no more parting over and forever.
I will be and forever I with.
The one who died for me with.
The one who died for me what a day what a day glorious day.
That will be singing like you mean it.
All right.
What a day that will be when my Jesus I shall see when I look
upon space the one who saved.
Me.
When he takes me by the hand and he leads me through the.
Promised land what a day, glorious day that will be.
What a day, glorious day that will be what a day, glorious day
that will be.
He loves to hear the wind sing as it whistles through the pines
on.
Mountain he.
And he loves to hear the rain drops as he swipes through the ground
in a magic melody he smiles with
sweet approval as the waves crash
through the rocks and harmony creation
joins in unity sing to him majestic
symphony.
But his favorite song of all is the song of the redeem.
When lost sinners now make king.
Lift their voices loud.
When those purchased by his blood live to hear the song of love.
There'S nothing more he'd rather hear, nor so pleasing to his
ear has his favorite.
Song of all listen now.
And he loves to hear the angels as they sing holy, holy is
the.
Lambda holy, holy, holy is the lamb.
Heaven squires in harmony lift up praises to the grave.
Hallelujah.
Lifts his hands with silence when the weak is saved by grace begin
to.
See.
And a million angels listen as the newborn soul sings I have been
redeemed.
When lost sinners, now they flee.
Lift.
Their voices loud and strong.
When those.
Praises die in love.
Lift.
Hear the song of love.
There's nothing more he'd rather hear nor so pleasing to his
ear as his.
Favorite song of all.
It'S not just melodies and harmonies that catches his attention,
not just clever lines and phrases causes.
Him to stop and listen.
But when anyone set free, blushed and.
Blocked by Calvary begins to see.
That'S.
His favorite song of all.
Is the.
Song of the Renee.
When lost sinners now meet me, lift their voices loud as strong
when those.
Precious body lifting him song of love.
There'S nothing more rather hear, nor so.
Pleasant to his ear as his favorite song.
O.
There'S nothing more he'd rather hear, nor so pleasing to his
ear as his favorite song of all,
amenity.
I love that part.
It's not just melodies and harmonies that catches his attention,
not just clever lines and phrases that
causes him to stop and listen.
But when anyone set free, bought and washed by Calvary begin
to sing, that's his favorite song of
all.
Isn't that wonderful?
And I like that part where he lifts his hands for silence.
When the weak is saved by grace, I mean they're singing and
glorifying and glorying God in heaven.
But then when someone praying that prayer and making that transformation
from death to life, he says, shh,
everybody quiet.
I gotta hear this.
I love it, don't you?
Praise the Lord, man.
I'll tell you what, and by the way, we should never get to the point
in our life.
I believe this with all of my heart.
I've been saved a very, very long, long time.
I've been saved for 58 years now.
I've been saved for 58 years.
Know Christ as my savior.
And can I tell you something?
When someone trusts Christ as their savior and I get news about
it, you're going to see somebody hopping
and happy.
I'm telling you, I want to rejoice.
Amen.
Because after that prayer is said, when he lifts his hands with
silence and he listens to that prayer
and it goes into, from the heart
of God and the Holy Spirit goes into
that individual, I'm telling you
right now, all of heaven is shouting
the victory.
Amen.
I tell you, we should too.
Praise the Lord for that.
I'm so glad for that.
I'm so glad that he's always there, even in the times you wonder
if he is.
I don't know if you've ever been to a point in your life where
sometimes it just feels real lonely
sometimes when you pray.
Have you ever been here?
I've been there.
I'm just going to confess all of this because I'm just preaching
to myself right now.
Now, okay?
I have been to the point in my life where I've wondered if he's
even hearing my prayers.
I remember when I was a school administrator back in the nineties
running a christian school, and I'm
thinking, man, I'll tell you what.
It seemed like God would wake me up in the middle of the night.
It was one of the most difficult jobs I've ever had in my
life.
Man, I'm telling you, being a christian school administrator, because
you're stuck by the rules and you're
stuck by.
I often wonder how God, God does it with us and how he's long
suffering and patient with us.
Sometimes I do.
But I remember waking up many times at night and I would go out
into the living room and I'd sit
there and I'd try to talk to the
Lord.
I just felt like he wasn't even hearing me.
And sometimes I would just get to the point of despair where he's
saying, you know what you need to
do, Pat?
You need to just stop and be still and know that I am God.
Because in those moments, of despair, in those moments of difficulty,
in those moments of conflict in your
heart, in your life, sometimes what
you need to do is just get into the
presence of Jehovah, fall into that
place where he can speak to you and
minister to you.
You ever get to the point where you don't know what tomorrow
holds or what's going to be honest with
you, we've run into that lady.
Sometimes, you know, you get to the point, you get to the age
where you wonder, am I supposed to
settle down?
We thought that was going to happen.
Am I supposed to relocate here?
We've been relocating and wondering where the Lord has it.
Her dad ended up having a stroke.
We thought, we're going to go there, we're going to help, we'll
travel out of there.
We're blessed, that church's call and we have the opportunity
to be able to be in them.
We're grateful for all that.
But sometimes I look and I say, lord, we're trying.
We're working right now.
We're currently trying to raise some support.
We've never had support.
We don't have monthly support.
We're trying to figure out how to do that.
I've never done that.
I finally got to the point where I'm going to just start asking,
Lord, I need support.
How do I do it?
Just tell people, you know, yeah, you have.
Not because you ask not.
So I'm starting to ask, you know, and I know God's got it all.
He's got it all under control.
There are times I get to worrying.
Do you get to worrying?
You know, if I'm not careful, I'll start looking at things politically
and I'll start worrying.
But you know what?
You need to just get alone and get that time with the Lord.
You just need to talk to him sometimes.
We just need to be still.
Just be still and be quiet and listen to that still, small voice
that is speaking deep in our hearts
so that we can be in that presence of
our wonderful Jehovah.
In and out of situations that tug of war at me.
All day long I struggle for the answers that I need.
But then I come into his presence and all my questions become
clear.
And for that sacred moment, no doubts can interfere.
In the presence of.
Of Jehovah.
God Almighty.
Praise of peace.
Troubles venice hearts are.
Remaining in the presence of the king.
Through his love, the Lord provided a place for us to rest,
a place to find the answers in the
hour of distress.
Now, there's never any reason for you to give up in despair.
Just slip away and breathe his name he will surely meet you there
in.
The presence hashem of Jehovah God Almighty, friends of peace troubles
banish, hearts are made hash in the
presence of the king.
In the presence of the kingdom.
I'm not going to preach a whole sermon, but I'm going to give
a thought tonight.
And I got to thinking about the very name of Jesus itself.
I got to thinking about everything it possesses, all that
it holds.
I think about even at the very beginning of Matthew, where the angel
came to Joseph, Mary, and in dreams,
and they said this, and she shall
bring forth the son, and thou shall
call his name, Jesus, for he shall
save his people from their sins.
And I got to thinking about Jesus and what's.
In the name of Jesus?
In the name of Jesus is salvation.
It's salvation for whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord
shall be saved.
Doesn't say might.
It says, shall be saved.
I got to looking at how the world needs to stop trusting in themselves
and how they need to trust in Jesus
and only Jesus.
If our political system could get back, get God back into it and
put Jesus first, as the Bible says,
seek ye first the kingdom of God
and his righteousness, we gotta add
that part.
It's in there.
And all these things shall be added.
If they could get that back where it should be, it would take
care of a whole bunch of issues here
in this country.
I got to thinking about how, in the name of Jesus, it heals.
Hurting world.
In the name of Jesus is security.
Can I tell you something?
I'm eternally secure.
I read it this morning.
We're sealed with the Holy Spirit, aren't we, brother?
Sealed.
You try to break that.
The Bible says that I am in the palm of his hand and no man can
pluck him.
Pluck me out of his hand.
I've got security in Jesus.
In Jesus there is is hope.
Can you imagine what it'd be like if there wasn't any hope?
If there's no hope, I can't imagine what that would be like in
the life of somebody living without
Jesus.
I don't know what that's like.
I was saved when I was seven.
I've grown up knowing Christ as my personal lord and savior.
I don't know what it's like not to have hope.
I love having hope.
In Philippians, it talks about being found in fashion as a man.
He humbled himself and became obedient unto death, even the death
of the cross.
It talks about how he went to the cross to pay sin's debt for you
and me.
Jesus did that.
In the name of Jesus, there's salvation.
In the name of Jesus, there's power.
There is power in his name a sick have been healed.
People have said, in the name of Jesus.
In his name the dead have come back to life again.
Lazarus, come forth.
In his name.
The storms can be calmed.
They can be calmed even when there's a big storm going on.
And you say, well, it's all about how much stuff, my stuff is
destroyed.
No, even inside, when it is destroyed, you can still call upon
the name of Jesus and there's a peace,
there is a comfort.
There is a power in, in his name.
Jude 121 says, keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for mercy
of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal
life, and some having compassion,
making a difference.
In the name of Jesus, yes, there is provision, salvation.
There's power and there's also peace.
Aren't you thankful that you know him?
Where when you lay your head on your pillow at night, you know
there's peace?
Do you know the world can't explain that?
And when you try to explain that peace that's in your life to
somebody that's in the world, they
look at you like you're crazy.
But I'm glad I've got him.
Who is peace?
A peace that passes all understanding.
Many times when we would travel down the road, and even now,
sometimes when I get a little bit
tired, I'll pull into a rest area,
or my wife, she's wiped out.
She can't drive.
I'll pull into a rest area and we'll just lay our head back.
And when we drive the coach and we pull into a Walmart, whatever
the case is, by the way, I'd ask that
Middletown Baptist church continue
to pray that we're able to find a house.
They're real affordable right now.
I don't know if you noticed that or not.
They're not.
We're working on it.
We're just really trusting the Lord.
We are.
I know God's got it all set up.
We're just waiting to see what he's going to do, you know?
But I gotta tell you, and matter of fact, every time you go
by Walmart, if there's a motorhome
sitting in Walmart, that means you're
supposed to pray for the McCluskeys.
Okay, well, we would pull into a Walmart and I'd fire up the generator
and we go to bed that night.
Sometimes 203:00 in the morning, I lay my head on my pillow
as I do really every night.
And I just say, I tell them, I'd say, thank you for.
For forgiveness.
Thank you for your love.
Thank you for your grace and for your mercy.
And I say thank you for peace.
The peace that passes all understanding.
I got to thinking about songs about Jesus.
Jesus is the sweetest name I know Jesus means all the world to
me what a friend we have in Jesus
I'd rather have Jesus than silver or
gold my Jesus, I love thee I know
thou art mine.
We have heard the joyful sound Jesus saves.
Jesus saves and when we sing those songs, they shouldn't just
be songs that we sing.
Just as a ho hum, we ought to lift our voice.
I have heard the joyful sound Jesus saves.
Jesus saves we ought to sing that song from the depths of our
heart.
Because he saved you and me.
I think of that song.
Jesus.
Jesus there's just something about that name.
Master savior Jesus when you say it, it's like the fragrance after
the rain.
Jesus.
Let all heaven and earth proclaim kings and kingdoms they're
going to all pass away.
But there's something about the name of Jesus would you sing
that with me?
Jesus Jesus Jesus there's just something about that name if you
don't know him today, you come talk
to us, we'll tell you about him.
Sing it with me.
Jesus.
Jesus Jesus Jesus there's just something about that name Master
Savior Jesus Master Savior Jesus
like the fragrance after the rain Jesus
Jesus.
Jesus let all heaven let all heaven and earth proclaim.
Kings and kingdoms, kings.
And kingdoms will all pass away but there's something about
that name sing it again.
Sing it from your heart.
Sing it to him.
Jesus Jesus Jesus there's just something there's just something
about.
Master Savior Jesus Master.
Savior Jesus like the fragrance after the rain like the
fragrance after the rain.
Jesus Jesus Jes.
Let all heaven and earth proclaim let all and earth broken
kingdom kings and.
Kingdom will all pass away but there's.
Something above that name.
We're going to sing this song, and I'm going to turn it over to
the preacher.
So many souls have tested him throughout the course of time.
So many still reach out to him with broken hearts and mind.
And every one of them will say with no exception that they can find.
Jesus Jesus never fails.
Even in the days of old he brought his people through and then
he came to show his love when he
died for me.
And you and then he rose again to prove that every has been true.
That Jesus never fails.
Jesus never fails Jesus never fails you might as well get thee
behind me, Satan, you cannot prevail
because jesus never fail.
Sometimes this world brings troubles that I find so hard to bear.
I know I could not make a it without Jesus being there.
It's so encouraging to know however deep.
We'Re in despair that Jesus never.
So what can I do to prove to you?
Tell me how can you deny no.
One told that no mysteries, it's all oh so cut and dry and on
the wizards stand of your life I'll
be the first to testify that Jesus
never fails.
Jesus never fails.
You might as well give me behind me Satan, you cannot prevail
because Jesus never fail.
Jesus never fails.
You might as well give me behind me Satan, you cannot prevail
because Jesus never fails.
Jesus.
