00:37 Hello and welcome to 3ABN, our Worship Center,
00:41 to our Spring Camp Meeting. 00:43 We are having a wonderful time and the services haven't even 00:45 started on the air yet. Amen. But we have a great group of 00:49 people here from many states around and even some foreigners 00:52 we have here. We're happy about it. 00:54 I called somebody a foreigner while ago, and they said: "Well, 00:56 when you come to our country remember you're a foreigner. " 00:59 Yeah. So I said "No more name calling. " 01:01 Right? There you go... right. We're just brothers and sisters 01:03 in the Lord. That's right. Speaking of brothers and sisters 01:05 why don't you introduce us to one of our favorites. 01:08 Well this is Tina Baehm and Tina, you are one of our 01:11 favorites and a regular here at Camp Meeting. 01:14 We welcome you. Thank you; I'm so happy to be here 01:17 again. Now George... is he sleeping in? 01:20 What's going on? Yes, he's sleeping in but you'll see him 01:22 tomorrow. All right. Hope he'll be very up and active. 01:28 But these two folks are just such a great inspiration 01:32 to us. They love 3ABN. 01:35 I would tell you some of the activities they've done 01:39 to raise money for 3ABN but that's their personal story 01:43 so I'll let them tell it some time. 01:45 But they have gone to every length in collecting coins 01:49 and all kinds of things in order to help 3ABN. 01:52 And folks, it has added up to really an unbelievable thing. 01:57 A great deal of money, but their hearts are with 3ABN. 02:00 And we love you both - we do - Thank you so much 02:02 for what you do for the cause of God. We love you, too. 02:04 We think a lot about 3ABN and we want everybody 02:08 to know about His soon second coming. Amen! 02:12 And we just can't do enough and we just pray that 02:17 He will come soon and that everybody will hear about it. 02:20 And we're thankful that we can do whatever we can 02:24 to help this message go forward. 02:27 You know, yesterday George was talking about 02:29 some of the things you folks do every month to encourage people. 02:33 I know some of the things you do. Are you going to tell 02:35 some of the secrets that you do in the retirement home 02:38 where you live? I certainly will. 02:40 We live on the second floor, and there's three floors 02:43 and every floor has a TV. 02:45 So I go and turn on to channel 38 which is 3ABN. 02:49 And I make sure that it's on Sabbath. 02:52 That's quite all right. 02:54 Well that's the kind of... You just cannot... 02:59 cannot do better than that, can you Danny? 03:02 No, no, absolutely. Well again, we're here. 03:05 If you're just joining us, it's 3ABN Camp Meeting. 03:07 Who am I sitting by? My name's Jan Crismond. 03:10 We didn't plan anything, did we? No we didn't. 03:12 I'm from Claremore, OK, church. Oh, Oklahoma. 03:15 All right. Well we're glad that you're here. 03:17 My husband Don. Hi, Don. Is this your first Camp Meeting? 03:21 No. Absolutely. We met here two years ago - You did? - 03:24 and we got married about 8 months ago. You got... Great! 03:26 They met here and got married eight months later 03:29 and they're still happy. That's all right! 03:32 I came from Ohio and he came from Oklahoma 03:36 and we met here. Just got seated at the same table. 03:38 Wow! How 'bout that? Danny, that's another by-product 03:42 of coming to 3ABN Camp Meeting. That's true. 03:45 Then I also met some folk last night who are spending 03:48 their anniversaries here - the 44th and the 50th. 03:52 Maybe we'll see who those are later and they said "We just 03:54 decided to come to 3ABN to spend our anniversary. " 03:58 Yeah, and you have a couple of your dad's sisters here. 04:01 Yeah, I just introduced them while ago. They're in the back 04:03 and one more's coming later I hope... Aunt Dolly. 04:06 OK. And so we're glad for all of that and we're glad for you. 04:10 For those of you around the world. Thank you for joining us 04:12 as you do each and every day. 04:14 Now we're going to do something we don't normally do. 04:16 Production doesn't like this at all 04:18 but we're going to get up and just walk out of the camera 04:20 for a second, but they can go to C.A. and Mollie. 04:24 You guys carry us a minute and Jim and I will come up 04:26 and visit with you. Yeah, all right. Thank you. 04:29 Indeed we will. I think this is a side benefit of Camp Meeting, 04:33 Mollie. This is about the 3rd or 4th maybe 5th couple that 04:36 have met here, courted here, and gotten married 04:39 coming to Camp Meeting. So this is a great little side benefit. 04:42 If you're lonely, if you're single and you're looking for... 04:44 if you're looking for a Christian hook-up, 04:47 this is the place to come. 04:49 And for you to come spend your anniversary with us 04:53 we're just honored to have you here. 04:55 Absolutely. None of that Internet hooked-up stuff... 04:58 you can come here and do that. Precisely. 05:00 We're low tech; we're not high tech. 05:02 At least you get to see who you're going to be meeting, 05:04 right? That's right. When you come here in person. 05:06 But this is... Mollie, you're excited about this Camp Meeting. 05:09 Tell us why. Well... Come on up here. 05:12 As I have spoken about on television, 05:17 any time you're here in the congregation 05:21 live there is just such a special anointing. 05:25 And there are going to be nineteen sermons 05:29 so just think how spiritually full we're going to be 05:33 come Saturday night. I told somebody earlier 05:36 that by the time you've got that 19th sermon in you 05:41 your feet will be just almost like you're walking on air. 05:44 That's right. You know, we had a board meeting today, 05:48 and when we left that board meeting we were walking on air 05:53 as we shared some of the things that God is planning 05:56 for this ministry. We talked to a couple of our young men 06:00 who are part of our work, and as our board members 06:04 buoyed us with their encouragement and Danny, 06:10 this is the most encouraging board meeting I've been to 06:12 that I can ever recall. 06:14 Absolutely, because things are... I always remember 06:17 what Owen Troy told us. He worked for a long time, 06:20 was on a lot of boards, and Owen said: 06:22 "I love coming to the 3ABN board meetings. It's my favorite 06:25 place to come and attend board meetings. " 06:28 And someone said: "Why? " 06:29 He said: "Because they're always positive. 06:31 We're always hearing about souls coming to Jesus. 06:34 We're always hearing about miracles. " 06:36 Because folks, 3ABN, we... Actually, this is the honest 06:40 to God's truth, He knows better than anyone 06:42 we operate by faith. Amen! Now honestly if we had the money 06:46 all the time we probably wouldn't. We'd be like 06:48 "You know, well we've got the money. Let's do it! " 06:50 But God has us right where He needs us to be: 06:53 on our knees always praying. "Lord, You told us to do this 06:56 but how're we gonna do it? " Right. "You have to supply 06:59 every need. " And you know what? God is in the business of 07:02 supplying needs. He wants to supply our every need. 07:05 Throughout the Bible there's instance after... thousands 07:10 of instances where God has supplied every need. 07:13 Now not always financial, but in our work that we're doing - 07:17 He's called us to do - you can't just get on 07:19 nine satellites and go to the entire world 07:22 reaching a potential billion... I know Mollie always 07:25 has got evangelistic figures more than that... 07:28 It's two billion. OK, she says two billion... whatever. 07:31 But you can't do that without a lot of money: 07:34 millions and millions of dollars a year. 07:36 We don't have it. We don't get... And this is not 07:39 a bad thing but I'm just telling you. A lot of people 07:41 say: "Well we give through the church because they take up 07:44 media offerings. " Well 3ABN... since we're 07:48 a supporting ministry not part of the church 07:51 when you take up offerings at your church that doesn't 07:53 include 3ABN. Yet every month somehow God supplies every need. 07:59 We were having fun in the board meeting. Brian... I wish he... 08:02 I don't know if Brian is here but we ought to make him 08:04 come up here. Say "Brian, come up. " 08:06 And Jim was saying - our treasurer - that sometimes 08:09 that he's ready to bail out the car window and we're pulling him 08:12 back saying: "Don't leave us yet. It'll happen, Brian. 08:15 The money will come. " 08:16 So we said once in a while we've got to get him by the feet. 08:19 He's all the way out but by the feet and we drag him back in 08:22 and the Lord blesses. Well that was his illustration 08:25 and he said that Danny and I are driving wildly down the road 08:28 and he's about to bail out the back. 08:31 But then the Lord comes along and answers the need. 08:36 Folks, I tell you: some exciting things. 08:38 And when you talk about two billion, you see all that is 08:43 satellite reaching. If you get into the Internet, 08:46 the potential is unlimited. 08:49 Everybody who has any ability, 08:54 illiterate and all in the world, can get us by Internet, 08:59 by iPhone, by iPad... 09:01 somehow, somewhere around the world. 09:06 And that is exactly I believe what God has intended 09:09 in these last days. And we are going to see this work finished. 09:13 It's going to happen. Absolutely. In November 1984- 09:17 so this coming November - it will be 30 years. 09:20 It's the beginning of our 30-year anniversary 09:22 of the idea to build a tele- vision station that would reach 09:25 the world with an undiluted three angels' messages, 09:29 one that would counteract the counterfeit. 09:31 And when we started it we said: "Isn't this amazing? 09:34 We can go up and reach a few million people. 09:37 Technology is amazing. " 09:39 Well yes, we've read Daniel. We've read the prophecies. 09:42 "Knowledge shall be increased, men run to and fro. " 09:45 But can you imagine in the last 30 years 09:48 what has happened to technology? 09:50 All of you think about yourself. 09:52 Probably you didn't even have a computer 30 years ago. 09:54 Did you? How many of you had computers? 09:56 Very few of you. How many had smart phones 30 years ago? 10:00 Some of this group... how many even has them now? 10:03 All right. Some of you... some of you. 10:05 Well you know what? I've matured some with the help 10:09 of "techie" people. I have a smart phone. 10:10 You know one reason why? I got one a few years ago... 10:14 This is a true story. I got one... it was a Blackberry 10:17 or something... and I decided: "You know what? 10:20 That is a smart phone. It's too smart for me. " 10:22 So I took it back. I said: "I can't figure this thing out. " 10:24 But anyway, I've got one now. 10:26 Can you imagine anywhere in the world 10:29 you can pull out your phone and get 3ABN - all 6 channels - 10:33 twenty-four hours a day. What a witnessing tool! 10:36 What an evangelistic tool! Yes. Who would have dreamed? 10:38 When we started, Mollie, we had to have the big 12' 10:41 satellite dishes, right? And everybody couldn't afford them. 10:44 They were $1,200, $1,500, $2,000. 10:47 Hard to get those. Now John Lomacang 10:51 just introduced me the other day to... You've heard 10:53 of the Roku box, right? You can get a Roku... 10:56 Now you can go to... I'm not promoting any particular 10:59 store... but the one I know of - Wal-Mart - for $49 11:03 you buy a little thing that's about this big 11:05 that plugs into the back of your TV set 11:08 and you get 3ABN and all the Adventist channels 24/7. 11:12 Unplug it and travel with it anywhere in the world. 11:15 Amen. No monthly fee. 11:17 So if you want to do something for people that you love 11:21 especially maybe some of those that's older, 11:23 they're seniors, they can't get out, 11:25 go spend $49. It's a one-time deal. Yeah. 11:28 You get some of these networks and you've got to pay $30, $40 11:31 a month. This is a one-time deal. 11:34 Look what God has done to the technology 11:37 from that to now reaching hundreds of millions - 11:41 billion if you will, Mollie - 11:43 and people around the world in the last 30 years. 11:46 Now we are seeing things we've never seen. 11:49 It's exciting, isn't it? 11:50 It's exciting that literally anywhere in the world 11:53 and anybody who really wants to watch 3ABN now can. 11:57 Amen! Hop in there, C.A. 12:00 I'm impressed. He's having a hard time getting in 12:03 between me and Jim. 12:05 I'm used to it. I'm impressed by our audience tonight. 12:11 For a Wednesday night this is a wonderful audience. 12:14 Yeah. Full house, and we've got storms outside. 12:18 Yeah. Some little activity going on. 12:20 By the power of God it's sunshine in our souls tonight - 12:22 Amen - and it's going to be a good night in the Lord. 12:25 Amen. Absolutely. Wow. In the next night or two 12:28 we're literally opening up all these walls. We're going to 12:31 have a packed house. So those of you watching by television 12:34 come to 3ABN. We'll make room for you somewhere. 12:38 We'd love to have you come. 12:39 That's what this Camp Meeting's all about: 12:41 we get to do the one-on-one thing. 12:43 Through the course of the year we're looking through cameras 12:46 and in glass, but it's so nice to be able to meet people 12:49 one-on-one and hear your stories. 12:50 If you have a great story of the Lord blessing, 12:54 coming to the Lord through this ministry, 12:56 something that's really important in your life, 12:59 be sure when you see Dee or Mollie or some of us 13:01 around let us know, would you? Because we love hearing 13:04 those stories of what God is doing through your ministry. 13:07 See, this is not ours. It's all of our ministry. 13:10 Without you we couldn't do anything. 13:12 So thank you for your love and prayers and financial support. 13:16 Thank you for those of you coming out, and those of you 13:18 at home, thank you for all that you do 13:20 for the cause of God through 3ABN. 13:23 Well Danny, we are looking forward to a real exciting 13:26 first hour, second hour, and third hour tonight. 13:29 Three hours. The first hour we wanted to get acquainted, 13:33 talk with you, have some music. 13:35 But before we have our music I'm going to ask Pastor C.A. 13:39 to lead us to the throne in prayer. 13:42 Shall we pray? Gracious Father, 13:45 how happy we are, how glad we are, 13:50 how long is the list for things that we can rejoice over. 13:55 We are happy for the call that brought us from darkness 13:58 to light, from error to truth, 14:01 from the broad way to the narrow way. 14:04 We're thankful for the Seventh-day Adventist church 14:08 and the message of the three angels. 14:11 And we are thankful, Lord, that we have a guarantee that 14:14 this message will go forth conquering and to conquer. 14:18 We know even now that we are on the winning team 14:21 for Jesus Christ is Lord and General of this army. 14:26 We are thankful for this ministry that You erected 14:30 for it is Your ministry... not ours. 14:32 It belongs to You; it came from You. 14:35 It owes its existence to You. 14:37 We have been given trust and charge, Lord, and we are 14:40 thankful for a small part to play 14:43 in joining hands with You in the greatest job 14:46 ever given to humanity, and that's lifting up 14:49 the mighty and matchless name of Jesus. 14:51 We are thankful, Lord, for this Camp Meeting experience 14:54 and that for the next several days we will focus on the things 15:00 for which the SDA church came into existence: 15:04 and that is to prepare a world for the soon coming of our Lord 15:08 and Savior Jesus Christ. 15:10 And so I ask even now for each speaker, each presenter, 15:14 each singer holy boldness, 15:18 holy unction, and anointing from Your throne 15:21 that they will say precisely and exactly 15:24 what You want them to say. That the message that they will 15:27 give will come through them but from You. 15:30 May the songs that are sung lift our hearts towards heaven. 15:34 May we sit in heavenly places during these next several days 15:38 and may we get a new vision of the King and the soon-coming 15:43 kingdom. We ask You to bless this audience that sits here 15:46 tonight. Open our hearts; open our minds. 15:49 Make us, Lord, receptive to the word that will come forth. 15:53 Then be with those who are yet on their way. 15:56 Please, dear God, be pleased to give them traveling mercies 16:01 so that we hear no notices of accidents or hurt or harm 16:05 or danger. We want the saints of God to come to the house 16:08 of God in safety. So bless them, Father. 16:11 And then as we move through this weekend 16:14 please, Father, draw us close to the precious, bleeding side 16:18 of Christ Jesus. For those who are growing cold 16:21 and weak in their faith, may this weekend strengthen them 16:25 and help them to get a new hold of Christ. 16:28 For those who do not know Him, may they be introduced to Him 16:32 this weekend. For those who are yet unprepared 16:36 may they make preparation to meet Jesus on that great day. 16:40 And may each of us take one more giant step 16:44 along that road that leads to glory. 16:47 Bless this night and this meeting 16:50 and every day and every meeting until this Camp Meeting 16:54 shall have come to a close. But more than that 16:57 keep us, Lord, until the day we are blessed to see You 17:00 face to blessed face and to hear from Your lips 17:05 the "Well done. " Oh dear Father, 17:07 we yield ourselves to You. Be the honored guest. 17:10 Take our prayer and our praise and in exchange give us Your 17:15 presence and Your power. And we thank you Mighty Father 17:19 in the blessed and worthy name of Jesus, 17:22 Amen. Amen. 17:24 OK. I think we have Pastor John Lomacang 17:27 that's going to come out and minister to us. 17:30 John is the pastor of the 3ABN Worship Center. 17:33 If you live around here and you watch him on television, 17:35 he's a great pastor... he and Angie. They love the Lord 17:39 and they minister to us all the time. 17:41 And not only through his preaching but an incredible 17:44 gift of music that God has given you. Thank you, John. 17:48 You know, we have choices as to who to worship 17:50 and that's going to be the deciding factor. Tonight 17:53 I'd like to begin with a song that puts my anchor down 17:57 that when the choices are made whom to worship: 18:00 I Will Worship Only At The Feet Of Jesus. 18:16 I went to visit 18:21 the shrine of plenty 18:27 and found its storeroom 18:33 all filled with dust. 18:39 I found an altar 18:44 of gold and silver. 18:51 But as I knelt there 18:56 they turned to rust. 19:01 So I'll worship only 19:08 at the feet of Jesus. 19:13 His cup alone 19:19 my holy grail. 19:25 There'll be no other 19:31 gods before Him. 19:37 Just Jesus only 19:43 will never fail. 19:49 The call of fortune 19:55 made me a pilgrim 20:00 to journey to 20:06 fame's promised heights. 20:12 But as I climbed 20:18 the promise faded 20:24 and wind blew lonely 20:29 all through the night. 20:35 So I'll worship only 20:41 at the feet of Jesus. 20:47 His cup alone 20:53 is my holy grail. 20:59 There'll be no other 21:05 gods before Him. 21:10 Just Jesus only 21:16 will never fail. 21:24 Just desert dust 21:28 and empty shadows. 21:33 All promises... 21:40 they turned to lies. 21:46 For the gods of earth 21:51 failed and betrayed me, 21:58 but You alone are 22:04 the Truth and Life. Can you say Amen? 22:09 For I'll worship only 22:15 at the feet of Jesus. 22:21 His cup alone 22:26 is my holy grail. 22:33 There'll be no other 22:39 gods before Him. 22:44 Just Jesus only 22:50 will never fail. 22:55 Yes, just Jesus only 23:01 will never 23:05 fail. 23:14 Amen. You know, what's so wonderful about preaching 23:20 messages on the second coming is we know that soon and very 23:23 soon this great controversy's going to be over. Can you say 23:26 Amen to that? Amen. No more sickness; 23:30 no more suffering; no more sorrow; no more death; 23:33 no more crying. And the joy that we have anticipated 23:36 would one day be a reality to the saints. 23:39 And so tonight I want to re-anchor my faith in Christ 23:42 and I wasn't there when Jesus said in the very beginning 23:45 "It is finished. " I wasn't there. 23:47 I wasn't there on the cross when He said 23:49 "It is finished. " But I plan on by God's grace 23:53 being there in the end when He says "It is finished. " 23:57 May God bless you as you anchor your faith 23:59 for one day it will be finished. 24:13 There's a line that's been drawn 24:16 through the ages. 24:20 On that line 24:23 stands an old rugged cross. 24:29 On that cross 24:31 a battle is raging 24:37 for the gain of man's soul 24:42 or its loss. 24:50 On one side march the forces 24:56 of evil... 24:59 All the demons and devils of hell. 25:08 But on the other 25:10 the angels of glory... 25:16 as they meet 25:19 on Golgotha's hill. 25:25 And the earth shakes 25:27 with the force of the conflict 25:33 as the sun 25:36 refuses to shine. 25:42 For there hangs God's Son 25:46 in the balance. 25:50 And then through the darkness 25:54 He cries: 25:59 "It is finished! " 26:01 The battle is over! 26:06 "It is finished! " 26:10 There'll be no more war. 26:15 "It is finished! " 26:18 The end of the conflict. 26:24 "It is finished! " 26:27 And Jesus is Lord! 26:37 Yet in my heart 26:40 the battle still rages. 26:47 Not all the prisoners of war 26:52 have come home. 26:57 There are battles 26:59 of my own making 27:05 for I didn't know 27:08 that the war had been won. 27:13 Then I heard that... 27:17 that the King of the ages 27:22 had fought 27:25 all my battles for me. 27:30 Now the victory 27:34 is mine for the claiming 27:38 and now 27:41 praise God I am free! 27:47 Yes... "It is finished! " 27:50 The battle is over. 27:55 "It is finished! " 27:59 There will be no more war. 28:04 "It is finished! " 28:07 It's the end of the conflict. 28:12 Yes... "It is finished! " 28:16 and my Jesus is Lord! 28:22 "It is finished! " 28:24 and my Jesus 28:29 is Lord! 28:44 Thank you pastor. 28:46 Beautiful! Thank you. 28:48 My basketball buddy, too. 28:52 We play basketball on Tuesday nights. 28:54 And so he's got a lot of talents and one of those is playing 28:58 basketball. We've... 29:02 We're so blessed to have Reggie and Ladye Love Smith. 29:05 They're from Nashville, Tennessee. 29:07 I'm going to ask them to come out right now. 29:09 And their son Bret's out here somewhere. He's my buddy. 29:13 Me and him... we have a lot of fun times together. 29:16 When they come up every now and then we sneak off 29:17 to a little pond in the area. We've got some little fishing 29:20 ponds, and me and him catch some blue gill and bass 29:23 and we have a good time together. 29:25 But I love you guys... respect you 29:28 as Christians, as great friends. 29:30 And the musical talent that God has given them 29:33 is really phenomenal... it really is. 29:36 I marvel at what God does in them and through them. 29:40 I've seen them in the studios for 8, 9, 10 hours - 29:44 I think we were 12 the last time - 29:46 and their voices don't give out. 29:48 A song or two, three... I mean, mine gets tired. 29:52 And I guess I don't use my vocal cords right. 29:54 But you guys can sing... I was telling them 29:56 you were traveling down on a boat for - 29:58 you know - singing for all weekend 30:00 then you were down in North Carolina singing. 30:03 Come on up here just a little bit. 30:04 You were yesterday in North Carolina all day doing... 30:07 you were doing vocals with who? 30:09 Actually we were doing back- ground vocals for Ivan Parker. 30:12 Gospel singer Ivan Parker. 30:14 Great singer. I saw you on Facebook. 30:16 Layde is Facebook king. If you want to go... queen. 30:19 She and Melody... my daughter Melody... 30:22 And she has one child so Melody has eight, 30:25 so you know everything they do. 30:27 So now that they're in Tennessee I still... 30:30 I try to tell something from time to time... 30:33 just anything. "Oh, where have you guys been? " 30:35 "Well, we've been such and such. " And as soon as they ask 30:37 me "Well we already know where you guys have been. 30:40 We know what you're doing. " Well what we're going to do 30:42 they have a brand new... It's a CD and a brand new DVD. 30:46 What's the name of it? Thank You, Lord. 30:48 Thank You, Lord. That's a title from a song that you wrote. 30:50 And guess where it was recorded? 30:52 Right here at 3ABN. 30:53 And this really is one of the most incredible... there's 23 30:56 songs? Twenty-three. Twenty-three songs. 30:58 They've got people like - guests - Cliff Barrows 31:02 from the Billy Graham Association. 31:03 Danny Shelton. Well... Yvonne Lewis. 31:06 You know, some of the other folks on here. 31:08 But it really is an incredible number of songs. 31:12 And these are available here at 3ABN Camp Meeting. 31:16 So we want you to stop by the booths later on. 31:19 Those of you watching you can get those from Reggie and Ladye. 31:23 If you don't have their address, contact us at 3ABN. 31:26 But we'd encourage you to be ministered to by a variety 31:31 of songs - 20-some songs. So we thank you for what you're doing. 31:34 We support you; we love you; and we pray for you constantly. 31:39 So bless us with a few songs right now. 31:54 I would love to tell you what 31:57 I think of Jesus 32:02 since I've found in Him a friend 32:05 so kind and true; 32:10 I would tell you 32:12 how He changed my life completely, 32:18 He did something 32:20 that no other friend 32:23 could do. 32:28 No one 32:31 ever cared for me 32:36 like Jesus, 32:41 There's no other friend 32:46 so kind 32:48 as He; 32:53 No one else could take 32:58 the sin 33:00 and darkness from me, 33:07 O how much 33:10 He cares for me. 33:18 All my life was full of sin 33:24 when Jesus found me, 33:29 And all my heart was full 33:35 of misery and woe; 33:42 But Jesus placed 33:45 His strong and loving arms 33:49 around me, 33:55 And He led me in 33:58 the way I ought to go. 34:06 And every day 34:09 He comes to me 34:12 with a new assurance, 34:18 And more and more 34:21 I understand 34:25 His words of love; 34:31 But I'll never know 34:35 just why 34:37 He came to save me, 34:43 Till that day 34:46 I see His blessed face above. 34:53 No one 34:57 ever cared for me 35:02 like Jesus, 35:07 There's no other friend 35:12 so kind 35:14 as He; 35:19 No one else 35:23 could take the sin 35:25 and darkness from me, 35:33 O how much 35:36 He cares 35:38 for me... 35:45 O how much 35:48 He cares 35:52 for me... 35:56 for me. 36:11 It's so good to be with you tonight here and for the next 36:14 few days. It's going to be amazing, isn't it? 36:16 Amen. We just never know what God is going to reveal to us 36:21 and show us. And I just pray that we all have open hearts 36:24 tonight as we come and that we have open hearts to hear 36:26 His voice and to not miss what He might be trying to show us. 36:31 Because sometimes He shows us through things we would never 36:34 imagine, right? Little things like walking 36:37 to the Worship Center and back or running into someone 36:41 or even sometimes things that are hard. 36:45 I just am so appreciative to be with you tonight. 36:49 And I'm just so appreciative. I just love how God loves us 36:54 and how He is always there no matter what... 36:58 no matter what we're going through. 37:00 I know in our lives, we have always known Him 37:02 to be faithful and true. 37:05 And He says in His Word that He will never leave us 37:07 or forsake us. 37:08 Sometimes things are going on that are so hard we don't 37:11 realize that. We think: "I don't know. 37:14 I don't feel You; I don't hear You. " 37:16 But He says: "I will never leave you or forsake you. 37:21 Look for Me in the smallest things. " 37:23 Listen for His voice this week. 37:25 Wherever you are tonight listen... because He says 37:29 "I love you and I'll never leave you. " 37:34 Oh Lord, You're beautiful; 37:45 Your face 37:47 is all I seek 37:56 For when Your eyes 38:01 they're on this child 38:07 Your grace abounds 38:12 to me. 38:17 I want to take Your word 38:23 and shine it all around. 38:27 But first, help me Lord 38:31 to just live it, 38:33 Lord. 38:38 And when I'm doin' well 38:44 help me to never... never seek a crown. 38:49 For my reward 38:52 is givin' glory unto You. 39:02 Oh Lord, 39:04 please light the fire 39:11 that once burned bright 39:16 and clear. 39:21 Replace the lamp 39:26 of my first love 39:29 that burns 39:32 with holy fear. 39:38 I want to take Your word 39:44 and shine it all around. 39:47 But first help me 39:50 to just live it, Lord. 39:56 And when I'm doin' well 40:01 help me to never seek a crown. 40:05 For my reward 40:08 is givin' glory 40:12 unto You. 40:28 As I look back 40:31 on this road that I've traveled 40:39 I've seen so many times 40:43 that He's carried... carried me through. 40:51 But if there's one thing 40:55 that I've learned in this life 40:59 it's that my Redeemer 41:05 is faithful and true. 41:13 My Redeemer 41:16 is faithful and true. 41:22 And everything that He has said 41:28 He will do. 41:33 And every morning 41:37 His mercies 41:39 are new. 41:46 My Redeemer 41:49 is faithful and true. 42:04 My heart rejoices 42:07 when I read His promise: 42:15 "There is a place that I'm preparing 42:21 for you. " 42:27 I know someday I'll see my Lord... 42:34 I'll see my Lord face to face 42:39 'cause my Redeemer 42:45 is faithful and true. 42:53 My Redeemer... 42:57 He's faithful and true. 43:05 And everything that He has said 43:11 He will do. 43:17 And every morning 43:21 His mercies 43:23 are new... 43:26 they're new. 43:34 'Cause my Redeemer... 43:39 my Redeemer... 43:44 my Redeemer... 43:48 my Redeemer 43:51 He's faithful 43:53 and true. 44:04 My Redeemer 44:09 is faithful and 44:16 true. 44:43 Ah, this next song that we're going to sing 44:45 is written by - some of you might know - 44:49 Mr. Bill Gaither. And we get the opportunity 44:51 to travel with him some from time to time. 44:53 He's a new, fledgling song writer with a couple of new 44:56 songs coming out soon. Up and coming... 44:58 Up and coming... but just a wonderful friend of ours. 45:01 And we've had the opportunity to travel with the Homecoming 45:04 bunch for a long time.
