Tap the other person you didn't choose, say get ready, get ready, get ready, get ready." [00:10] (28 seconds) (Download raw clip | Download cropped clip)
2. "This is a once in a lifetime opportunity. A lot of churches, um, uh, never expand or, or get to actually build or, or grow and move forward. And here we are, and we're getting ready to cut a ribbon and invite the entire, say once in a lifetime. It's a once in a lifetime opportunity just to invite everybody to come and see, um, what the Lord is doing and come and see this, this place that was built in design, not simply for us, but for those who are not yet members yet."

3. "The church is a family and every member, come on, say every member, every member of God's family has a role to play. Now, uh, for those who are new with us, you often hear me say, you can disagree with me, but I want to reason with you least have reasons for don't engage your mind. You have your note sheet there. Holy spirit. In fact, we just pause right now, Lord, this is your house. Holy spirit. I pray that you'd come and speak to us." [05:00] (32 seconds) (Download raw clip | Download cropped clip)
4. "The critical question becomes if we're truly apart, if we're, we're members of the family of God. And here, here's the critical question. Come on, say move in ready. How do we get move in ready? Where, what is your role? Paul said, if you're in Christ, you're a member of God's family. Natural question is what's your role? What, what part are you playing? Where do you help and serve others in the family of God?" [07:30] (35 seconds) (Download raw clip | Download cropped clip)
5. "Serving the Lord will bring, not if, it will bring joy into your life. Joy, joy. Come on, say joy. Some of us, you're just depressed and down and woe is me. The world's upside down. Did you hear about the elections? All the stuff, all the stuff, all the heavy stuff. This is the end. You know, this is joy. Come on, say joy. Joy. Here's the crazy thing is this is so counterintuitive. That joy is not found in searching for joy, trying to get joy or get happiness. It's not found in, in meeting my own needs."

6. "The more unselfish we become, the better our relationships become. It's very difficult. have a bad relationship with someone who knows how to serve. Oh my goodness. That would help a marriage right there if we just stopped. But look at what Philippians 2 says. We're going to copy Jesus here. Don't be selfish. Come on. Let's just say that again. Come on. Come on. Let's not just be all about just you and your family and your job. Don't be selfish. Don't try to impress others. Be humble. Think of others as... There's no way. There's no way you said that. Think of others as better than yourself." [25:21] (44 seconds) (Download raw clip | Download cropped clip)
7. "The more we serve and bless others, the more we ourselves are blessed. I wish I could change that for you. Did you hear it? I want to be blessed. The more we bless and serve others. It's a principle. Look at Proverbs 11, 25. The one who blesses others is abundantly depleted and has no energy and just walks around, woe is me. I see these people, Pastor Charlie. I don't want to be like them. No, the one who blesses others is what? Is abundantly blessed." [27:04] (34 seconds) (Download raw clip | Download cropped clip)
8. "You can retire, but you never retire from your calling. You can lose your job, but you never lose your calling. You're your ministry. I'll never lose my ministry. Lord, what's my ministry, my role, my contribution, my part. Are you here in the family of God? If I'm a true member, a true member of, oh goodness of his family. Um, how do we do all this? How does all, how do all these miracles, modern day miracles, people getting blessed, families blessed, all this happened." [14:14] (36 seconds) (Download raw clip | Download cropped clip)
9. "I believe that God wants to add something to give you something. And I said surprising in your notes, because you might not have thought this before. You're going to think you're giving a gift. Really, you're getting a gift from God, a gift that you, some of us have been desperately needing. Some of us stopped and the Holy Spirit's touching on your heart and saying, hey, I got something for you, but it's going to come through a means that you're not expecting."

10. "We are the churches is people it's people together working together with God. So back to that question, how is all this happening? This is a, this is a big family. This is a big operation. There's, there's so many people from the lounge abuse, women's shelters, the people, kids in tents, all this stuff. How does all of that happen? Well, it happens when everyone, come on, everyone is working together with God. Come on, circle everyone in your notes. Everyone, everyone, come on. Tell your neighbor, say that's you. That's you. That's not me. And you're not talking about me. That's you. That's you. It's you. Everyone working together with God." [15:46] (37 seconds) (Download raw clip | Download cropped clip)
