Embracing God's Promises: From Samples to Abundance

Never abandoned, you know my every longing, you know my anxious thoughts. Yes, I am fully known, yes, I am what you say that I am. Yes, I am freely forgiven, really forgiven I am, freely forgiven, yes, I am. Never abandoned, yes, I am really forgiven, me forgiven.

Thank you, Embassy City family! Are y'all excited to be in the house of God? Are you excited about another Sunday to worship? Welcome online, we see you! For setting us free, put those hands together!

One dream into the night, wanting a place, a place where we sold. A tribe with all my mind, I just can't win the fight. I'm slowly drifting back up on, and just when I ran down the road, I met a man that I didn't know, and he told me that I was not alone.

He picked me up, turned me around, placed my feet on solid ground. I got no choice but to believe. Like ashes, hold on to my old friends. Hey, no, you're not welcome here anymore. You gotta tell them I broke down till I walked the street, my soul. I'm free, yeah, set me free! I believe, God, for freedom.

I don't know about you, but sometimes I just think I'm here. It's good! I think of how He brought me out, I think of how He called me out. So I'm about to tell somebody today, you gotta come up out of that grave! You gotta get up, get up, get up, get up, get up!

Out of that grave! She said get up! Tell the devil, "No longer bound!" Said I'm free! Praise the Lord, I'm free! No longer bound, no more chains holding me! Hell yeah, it's just a blessing! Say praise the Lord, praise the Lord, hallelujah! Praise the Lord, hallelujah!

If you weren't here for the first service, y'all better find a seatbelt somewhere and buckle up! Oh my God, hallelujah! Y'all, this is community service, but listen, I'm so excited about the fact that Jesus died on the cross. We can't get fresh every single time because you know why? Without it, all we would have is bondage, oppression, death, right? But now we have other options: freedom, abundance, healing, health! Y'all have something to be excited about!

All things have passed away; behold, He has made things new! Tons new! Hallelujah!

Your love has stayed the same, your constant praise remains the cornerstone. You cause yourself to shine in the darkest nights. Telling you we love you, oh yes we do. Yes, you are always, thank you. You left a weary, Jesus, we love you! Lord Jesus, we love you and what you've done tonight.

We pour it out, we pour it out! Jesus, we know how you've done for me. Jesus, we love you, so amazing! My heart alone, come on, swing that bridge with me. Our devotions poured out, just pour it out like the woman with the alabaster box, pour it out on Him.

Oh, we love you, we love you! Thank you for your blood, thank you for your sacrifice, thank you for what you've done for me. Oh, it makes me all my affection, pour it out, pour it out. Thank you for your blood, thank you for your blood, thank you for your blood, thank you for the blood that sets me free.

Thank you for the blood, oh Jesus! Thank you for your singers with you. I know this one: what can wash away my sin? Nothing but the blood of Jesus! Jesus, what can make me whole again? Nothing but the blood of Jesus!

Come on, this one: there is power, great power in the blood! Holy Ghost power, one that working power in the precious blood of the Lamb! And the precious blood of the Lamb! In the precious, yeah, and the precious! We love you!

Oh, how I love you! You are the one, my whole heart, my heart! Oh Jesus, we love you! Oh, how we love you! You are the one! Jesus, indeed we do love you, but most of all we're grateful because you loved us first.

And because of your demonstration of love to us and for us, you're teaching us how to love you. Amen.

Christ, knowing what He was about to face, the betrayal of one of His disciples, knowing that the cross was before Him, that He would be laying down His life for us, entered into the covenant of communion with His disciples.

And He said to them, "I want you to do this, and as often as you do this, I want you to do it in remembrance of me." Scripture admonishes us that we're not to enter into communion lightly, but we're to do it with careful reverence.

Scripture also admonishes us to examine ourselves, and it says that if we have sinned, we should confess our sins and ask God for forgiveness. And knowing that we are imperfect vessels, Father, we come to you asking you to forgive us of our sins. We ask you to cleanse us from all iniquity and to make us perfect unto you.

Because we're entering into this communion in reverence of you, thank you, Jesus.

So the scripture says that during supper, Christ took bread, He broke it, and He gave it to His disciples and He said unto them, "This is my body which is for you."

So Father, we take this representation of your body. The Bible talks about the shedding of blood for the remission of sin. It also lets us know that there is power in the blood, life-changing, soul-saving power.

Scripture also lets us know that this blood, the blood of Christ that was shed, will never ever lose its power. So I invite you that have given yourself to Christ and you know the power, you believe in the power of the blood, to take this cup as a representation and lift it above your head in submission and acknowledgment that God, we are submitting our entire being and everything under the blood.

Scripture says that during supper, Christ gave the cup to His disciples and He says that this blood, or this cup that represents the blood, is a representation of my new covenant. And so I want you to take this cup representing my blood and to drink of it, and as often as you do, do it in remembrance of me.

Let us drink now. Now that we've partaken of the body and we have partaken of the blood that represents the power, ah, we should be excited! And I'm going to say that as a church that is redeemed, that is forgiven, that is joyful, and that is thankful, can we lift our voice with a resounding Hallelujah?

Hallelujah! God, we thank you for the blood and your body. Our praise team is going to come with a final selection, and as they do, our ambassadors are going to come and collect our empty containers. Praise team, take us on as we continue to worship.

We are excited to release a brand new song today that was birthed from this house. Come on, let's give it up! Hallelujah! "Known and Loved" is now available on all social media platforms for you to share and encourage those you love that they are deeply known and loved by God. Amen. Come on, let's continue to worship.

There is a dark space, and it feels safe, but I'm trying to find my way. Fear is familiar, makes me stay there, but I wanna show my face. Will I be received? Will I be rejected? If I tell the truth, will I be accepted? I don't know.

Can I be fully known and still be fully loved? You say that I am, you say that I am. Yes, I am fully known, yes, I am fully loved. You say that I'm freely forgiven, never mind.

There is a solace fabricated where we go to hide away. Living between pain and the promise, waiting for the time to change. Will I be received? Will I be rejected? Tell the truth, will I be accepted? I don't know.

God, you say that I am, yes, I am fully known, yes, I am freely forgiven, never remember. You, you know my every longing, you love me, know I'm wrong. You see me chosen, never forsaken. You know the brokenness, you see the best in me.

You see me chosen, never forsaken. You see me before you formed me. Yes, I am holy, holy, yes, I am holy love. You say that I am, you say that I am. Yes, I am fully known, yes, I am freely forgiven, never remember.

Welcome to Embassy City! We are so glad to have you here with us today. We serve a God who promises never to leave us nor forsake us, so we will never be abandoned by Him. There are so many who experience abandonment and have issues, and understandably so, but the lyrics of this song let us know that we'll never be abandoned, we're never forsaken, and it encourages us to see ourselves through the lens of God and how He sees us and what He promises to us. Amen.

We want to take time to welcome our first-time guests. We have something special for you called Guest Central. This is a place where we can connect with you and we can answer any questions you may have about Embassy City. We can't wait to see you there!

Hey, NBC families! This announcement is for incoming first graders through outgoing fifth graders. Friday, July 21st, we're having a Summer Crash from 5 PM to 9 PM. There'll be food, water, activities, and games, so please come out and enjoy this!

Moses sent the spies to spy out the land of Canaan. He told them to go up into the Negev and the Hill Country to see what the land was like. He wanted to know if the people who lived there were strong or weak, few or many, and if the land was good or bad. He also wanted to know if the cities were camps or strongholds, if the land was rich or poor, and if the cities were walled or unwalled.

The spies returned after forty days and reported back to Moses. They said that the land was indeed a good land, and that it was very fruitful. They also said that the people who lived there were strong and numerous. However, they also said that the cities were walled and very large.

Moses was pleased with the report and encouraged the people to go in and take the land. He told them that the Lord was with them and that they would be successful. He also warned them to be careful and not to be afraid of the people who lived there.

So the people of Israel set out to take the land of Canaan. They were successful in their mission and were able to take the land. They were able to settle in the land and live in peace and prosperity.

So, the people of Israel were able to take the land of Canaan with the help of the Lord. They were successful in their mission and were able to settle in the land and live in peace and prosperity.

The time was the season of the first ripe grapes. Caleb quieted the people before Moses and said, "Let us go up at once and occupy it, for we are well able to overcome it, regardless of all the opposition that stands in our way."

They went up and spied out the land from the Wilderness of Zinn to Rehob and near Nebo Hamath. They went up into Negev and came to Hebron. Ahiman, Shishai, and Talmai, the descendants of Anak, were there. Hebron was built seven years before Zoan and Egypt.

They came to the valley of Eshcol and cut down from there a branch with a single cluster of grapes. They also brought some pomegranates and figs. That place was called the Valley of Eshcol because of the cluster that the people of Israel cut down from there.

At the end of 40 days, they returned from spying out the land and came to Moses and Aaron and to all the congregation of the people of Israel in the Wilderness of Paran at Kadesh. They brought back word to them and to all the congregations and showed them the fruit of the land.

They told them, "We came to the land to which you sent us. It flows with milk and honey, and this is its fruit. However, the people who dwell in the land are strong, and the cities are fortified and very large. Besides, we saw the descendants of Anak there. The Amalekites dwell in the land of the Negev, the Hittites, the Jebusites, and the Amorites dwell in the Hill Country, and the Canaanites dwell by the Sea and along the Jordan."

Caleb said, "Be of good courage and bring some of the fruit of the land." Someone said, "A single cluster of grapes." God has literal blessings in their life, and they can still find something to complain about. But Caleb said, "Be quiet and let us go up at once and occupy it, for we are well able to overcome it, regardless of all the opposition that stands in our way."

I believe that what God said belongs to me, and I don't want to wait another second, another minute, another hour. I want to go right in and get what God says belongs to me.

My title for today is, "This is only a sample. Oh Lord, this is only a sample." What you see God doing in my life, you ain't seen nothing yet. What you see Him working in my life, this is just a sample. It's just the beginning, we're just getting started, I'm just taking off. This is just a little bit of what God has in store for me.

When I think about the topic of this message, it reminds me of when I was nine years old in 1996. We had just moved to the United States from Germany, and I was born and raised in Germany, so ESL and German was my first language. We had never been here before except for one time in '95, so we had to learn a lot of things about American culture and ways.

One of the things that I loved about America was how Americans celebrated Saturdays, especially as a kid. As a kid, Saturdays were the day where you start the weekend, and it gives you a break from all the work that you did Monday through Friday. As a nine-year-old kid, I remember waking up to the smell of breakfast cooking and the sound of worship music playing in the background. I was homeschooled, so I worked real hard on one particular Saturday.

Some of you may know this, some of you may not, but I was born and raised in Germany, and ESL and German was my first language. We had never been here before except for one time in '95, and so we had to learn a lot of things about American culture and ways. But one of the things that I loved about America was how Americans celebrated Saturdays, especially as a kid. You know, as a kid, Saturdays were the day where you start the weekend, and it gives you a break from all the work that you did Monday through Friday.

Before I get into the message, I want to give God praise on the front end. Is there anybody in here ready to get everything that God said belongs to you? One more time, give Him some praise in this place before you see that! Oh Lord, it's about to be on and popping!

Say neighbor, what you see in my life is only a sample of what God's getting ready to do. Say neighbor, that you see in my life, God's just getting started now. Somebody give Him praise according to your faith in this place! Give them praise according to what you believe God's getting ready to do in your life.

I'm not waiting until the worship team comes up. I'm going to give God praise on the front end. Somebody tell your neighbor, tell neighbor something good, it's about to happen! Only say it if you believe it. Yeah, if you don't believe it, don't say it, but if you believe it, say it again. Say, "David, I believe something good is about to happen!"

Heavenly Father, we thank you so much for your house. Thank you for drawing us into your house. Holy Spirit, fill this room, help us to be changed from the inside out. Give us ears to hear, a heart to receive, and a mind to understand what you would say to us.

We want to walk out of here different than the way we walked in. We give your name all the praise, the glory, and the honor because you are worthy of it. And if you never do another thing, you've already done enough. In Jesus' name, and somebody say Amen. Amen.

We had some special Saturday mornings growing up. Every Saturday, we would get up, eat breakfast, and then go out and play. We would ride our bikes and meet up with the homies from the neighborhood. We would come back in time for lunch because you can't be out too long as a young boy without getting hungry.

One particular Saturday, when we came back, there was no food on the table, but my parents were dressed up like we were about to go somewhere. They said we were going out to eat. I was thinking, where are we going to go out to eat? We got dressed and got in the car. As we were driving, I was thinking, are we going to Whataburger, TGI Fridays, On the Border, Razzoo's, Joe's Crab Shack, Ryan's Steakhouse, or Golden Corral?

We passed by all these restaurants and pulled into the parking lot of a building that said Sam's Club. We knew nothing about what Sam's Club was, but the first thought I had as a kid was this has got to be the largest restaurant I have ever seen in my life. They said everything was bigger in Texas; I didn't think it was this big.

We pulled into the parking lot, and there were several other families from the church meeting us there. They said, here's the game plan: when you go into Sam's, you're about to experience something you have never experienced in your life. You're about to have a 27-course meal in bite-sized pieces.

We went into Sam's Club, and every few feet there was somebody with a silver platter. Grapes from Napa Valley, bread from France, meats from farms all over the country, and all conveniently presented to us with toothpicks. We got to try all of these different foods and drinks.

We gathered back together with the family and said, why in the world would they give you all of this food for free? They said, hey, actually what you had wasn't the full meal; this is only a sample.

God wanted a particular group of people to be His own, so He called out to Abraham. He said, "Abraham, I want to bless you, and through you, all the ends of the earth will be blessed. I'm going to bless you so much that the person who blesses you will be blessed, and the person who curses you will be cursed. I'm going to make your descendants so great that if you could count the grains of sand in the sea and the stars in the sky, that's how great I'm going to bless you."

When God begins to speak to you about things He wants to do in your life, it will be like a sample. He will test you with a sample before He gives you the full thing. He will test you with a staff before He trusts you with a scepter. He will test you with five smooth stones before He will trust you with an army. He will test you with a jawbone of a donkey before He trusts you with killing a thousand Philistines. He will test you in the small things before He trusts you with the big things.

The same is true with businesses. They will spend thousands of dollars and hire dozens of people to give away samples for free. They do this because they want you to taste the sample and make the decision that if the sample is this good, you're willing to pay whatever price you have to pay to get the full serving.

Too many people quit during the tasting phase.

God will test you with being an employee before He will trust you with being a CEO. He will test you with an apartment before He trusts you with a house. I wanted a full-time job, but just a week ago you didn't have a job. God will test you before He gives you the full thing.

God called a man by the name of Moses through a burning bush and said to him, "Let my people go." Moses questioned his sanity, talking to a bush that was not burned, but God said, "Open your mouth and I will fill it." To prove His point, God told Moses to throw his staff down, and it turned into a snake. Moses then knew that God would be with him.

God had promised Abraham that he would be blessed, and it was fulfilled through his son Isaac. Isaac had two sons, Jacob and Esau. God worked on Jacob and changed his name to Israel. Israel had 12 sons, one of them being Joseph. Joseph was sold into slavery by his 11 brothers and ended up in Egypt. He went through trials and tribulations and eventually became the second in command of all of Egypt.

When a famine struck, Joseph's 11 brothers went to Egypt to get some grain. They realized that the brother they had sold out was now the one feeding them. Joseph said, "What you meant for evil, God turned to my good." He then told his brothers to go get his father and bring him to Egypt.

The family of Israel moved to Egypt and multiplied. The Egyptians were worried about them creating an insurrection and began to oppress them. However, the more they oppressed them, the more they multiplied. After 430 years of oppression, God said, "I've had enough." He called Moses and told him to let his people go.

No matter how much the devil tries to fight you, he can't stop what God has for you. No matter how many people sell you out, they can't stop God from doing what He wants to do in your life.

Oh, God said don't worry about it; just tell them to go forward. And the Bible says that the waters of the Red Sea parted, and they walked through on dry ground. And then when Pharaoh and his army were coming after them, the waters came back together, and they were all destroyed. So God delivered them out of Egypt and led them to the promised land.

Moses was sent by God to tell Pharaoh to let his people go. When Moses arrived in the throne room, Pharaoh asked who this God was. Moses replied that he was God. Pharaoh asked how he could be sure that God would come through for him. Moses said to watch this and then turned a staff into a snake. Pharaoh's magicians did the same, but Moses was already having a problem stuttering. He thought he was blessed, but they were living in sin and looked blessed.

God then told Moses to pick up the snake, which he did, and it turned back into a staff. Pharaoh said it was only a sample, and Moses walked out. Ten plagues came, and Pharaoh finally said to get all his people, and they would even give them gold and silver. Moses and the people of Israel left Egypt with the spoils of Egypt.

God promised them a land flowing with milk and honey and that He would give them vengeance. He said they would drink from wells they didn't dig and live in houses they didn't build. God led them with a cloud during the day and a pillar of fire by night.

When they reached the Red Sea, Moses was unsure what to do, but God told him to tell them to go forward. The waters of the Red Sea parted, and they walked through on dry ground. When Pharaoh and his army were coming after them, the waters came back together, and they were all destroyed. God had delivered them out of Egypt and led them to the promised land.

God said to stretch out his rod, and the sea began to part. He said this was only a sample, but there was more. He said He would drive up and got them. So, Israel walked through the Red Sea with the waters parted and dry ground to get to the other side.

God then said to tell the people of Israel to look back behind them at the enemy. The people of Israel were scared, but God said to watch this and clap. God then said to remind them that the enemy they now see, they shall see no more on this day. The enemies were destroyed, and Israel was on the other side.

God said He would not take them directly to Canaan, as there were some things He needed to get out of them and some things He needed to put in them. So, God took some time and led them to Mount Sinai. At Mount Sinai, He gave them the Ten Commandments and said this was how He wanted them to behave as the called-out people out of Egypt.

He also gave them instructions for different feasts and instructions about the Tabernacle, which was how He wanted them to build a tabernacle where He would dwell.

After 430 days, they were finally at the edge of Canaan, and they saw the promised land. God said He had to get some Egypt out of them and put some Canaan in them before He would let them get into Canaan.

God then brought them to the edge of Canaan and said to look over there, as this was the land that He was promising them. He promised them a land that flowed with milk and honey, with houses they didn't build and wells they didn't dig. He promised them victory over all of their enemies and that they would go occupy it. However, it would not come without a fight.

God said whatever the enemy did in their life, He would take away in the next five minutes if they just believed that He was able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that they were able to ask or think.

Moses instructed the 12 spies to go into the Promised Land and spy it out, to see if it was as God said it was. They were to bring back a piece of fruit as evidence. After 40 days, they returned with a report that the land was indeed flowing with milk and honey, but they also reported that there were adversaries in the land.

They had brought a false report, trying to convince Moses that it wasn't worth the pain and suffering. However, Caleb, one of the 12, remembered all the miracles God had done through Moses and believed that God could take them all the way. He said the fruit was sweet, and although there were enemies, he believed God could help them conquer them.

I don't want to hold back one single minute or one single hour of what God is getting ready to do in my life. I want to go all the way in and get everything that God said belongs to me. I will fight every enemy that I have to fight, and I will die trying to get everything that God said belongs to me.

Too many people quit during the sampling phase, and God said this is just a sample of what I want to do in your life.

When I read the scripture, I wondered why the writer of Numbers put in the phrase, "Now was the season of the first ripe grapes." The Lord began to give me a revelation that the sampling that I have in my life is only meant to be a season. It is only meant to test me about what I want God to do fully in my life.

How I react in the sample season is indicative of whether I cross over into the fullness of God's promise.

Caleb looked around and said, "I don't want nothing to do with just eating manna and quail for the next 40 years. I want to go get my pomegranates, figs, and grapes. I want to live in the house that God designed for me. I want to drink from the well that God said belongs to me. I want to eat from the vineyard that I didn't plant. I want to get everything that God said belongs to me."

God is looking for someone who is ready to go whatever it takes, fight whatever demons they have to fight, and come against whatever enemies they have to come against. God wants someone who is ready to go get everything that God said belongs to them.

When I look back over my life and think things over, I can truly say that I have been blessed. God has brought me from being lost to being found, from being down to being picked up, and from having no way to having God make a way.

People used to talk about me in a bad way, but now they are talking about me in a good way. I give God praise for what God has done in my life.

God said to the 10 spies that brought an evil report, "Hey listen, I don't mind you having some questions, but I don't like you bringing a false report about what I'm building in your life. I don't mind you wondering like how we going to defeat them, but what I don't like is the fact that you don't recognize what I'm already doing in your life.

Too many people will work in reverse, think about how life was like in Egypt, and they forget about the fact that yeah, you had garlic and onions, but your back's got stripes on it. Yeah, you had a little bit of fish, but guess what? You had to work yourself to the bone from sun up to sun down.

When you think back about what your life was like before you met Jesus and what it looks like now, you can honestly say that it is better today than it was yesterday.

In the economy of God, the Bible says that the latter rain shall be greater than the former rain. The best days in your life have not been behind you; they are in front of you, and I wish somebody would give God praise according to what you believe God's gonna do.

I'm thankful for where I am, but I'm praising God for where I'm going. I thank God for where I used to be, but I'm praising Him according to where I'm heading to.

So God says, I'm not just going to let them walk around in 40 years with their negative report. God puts a plague on them, and the Bible says that they die with the plague, except for two of them. He says, "You two survived." But I gotta get rid of those that don't believe me.

So for 40 years, God's like, "Wait, wait, wait." Could you imagine the conflict that these people, the Israelites, were in, having to bury their grandparents but also being like, "There's one less. Oh my God, that gets us one step closer."

Finally, God brings them all the way back around 40 years, and now Joshua is in command. Joshua looks at the people and he says, "Listen, we've been wandering around for 40 years when God gave us a sample, and because we didn't react well to the sample, we had to waste 40 years. But now God's brought us back.

But can I tell you, Embassy City Church, we don't have to wait for 40 years to see everything that God has for us. Is there anybody that's going to be a Caleb and a Joshua that says, 'I am ready to go right now. I don't want to waste another second, another minute, another Sunday. I'm ready to go get what God says belongs to me.'

Is there anybody with a promise in your life? I just need two of y'all. I just need two people. I'm looking for two people that say, 'I'm ready to go all the way in to see what God has in store.'

Now I'm about to close, but the reason I'm preaching this message is because the last four weeks I've been thinking back about what God has done over the last six months in the life of our church, and I'm going, 'All right God, give me some evidence about what you've done.'

Did you know in the last six months we have baptized 222 people? Somebody ought to give God praise!

Within the last six months, we have seen God do amazing things. We have had 23 kids get dedicated to the Lord, 184 people go through our membership class, and thousands of dollars given away in benevolence. We have also reached thousands of people around the world.

What God is telling us today is that this is just a sample of what He is getting ready to do in the next six months. We should give God praise for what He has done in our lives in the first six months and give Him praise for what He is going to do in the next month.

We need to elevate our faith and believe that God is going to bring more people, train them through deliverance, and grow in faith. We need to go out and change the world.

God has also given us the principle of first fruits. We often think of first fruits as us giving to God, but the opposite is also true. God will give us the first fruits, which is the Holy Ghost. When we get the Holy Ghost, we get a sampling of what God wants to do in our lives.

Whatever we have experienced up to this point is just one portion, one little sample, one fruit of everything that God has for us. We should not stop or quit in the season, but take our money and want more.

I've already tasted and seen that the Lord is good. If the taste is this good, give me a table spread before me in the presence of my enemy. Somebody give God praise!

For me, set me free. Some of y'all are like, "Yeah, but it's hard out there; the enemies are out there." Let me tell you something, God will empower you to get through. Anytime there's an open door, the devil can't shut it, but he's showing up for trying to crowd it.

But God says to somebody here today that what you've experienced thus far is just a sampling, and if you can give God praise for a sample, then He'll open up doors that you never thought were possible.

If you can give God praise for what He's done right now, He'll open up doors that you never thought were possible in the future. So when I think about Jesus and all He's done for me, I refuse to hold back my praise and my worship.

If I gotta do it all by myself, if I gotta believe all by myself, when I think about Jesus, I get happy with it. What I think about, it's for me. Can I tell you that? Now think about what Jesus has done for me.

I'm still waiting on somebody to get it. I'm still waiting on somebody ought to be getting on the aisle right now and give God praise according to what you see God do for you.

Oh, you don't know, oh can't tell it like, think about Jesus. Okay, now think about what is that for me. I get happy with it. What I think about, it's for me.

But I also know what you know, that with God, anything is possible. So I know that there are going to be adversaries, and I know that I'm going to have to go through some stuff, and I know that I'm gonna face some opposition, but I refuse to go back to where life used to be and what life used to be like.

I've already tasted and seen what God is able to do, and I'm going to give God praise for this sample, believing that God's getting ready to bring more of what He just gave me a taste for.

So one more time, give God some praise!

I love you. We pray for you all the time, and we know that God has His hand on you. We'll see you here next week.

Thank you. Just like David did in the Bible, we commend our souls tonight. Get everything, come on, together.

Please accept for us, um, last dark days hope that's in the blood. This future grace that's mine today, that Jesus Christ has won, so I can face tomorrow, for tomorrow's in your hands just like you always have.

Battles, my way overcome, stay when the sea is raging, your spirit is my help. He'll fix my eyes on Jesus Christ, I'll say that it is.
