All I Need | Chad Veach | Social Dallas

Come on, can we give Jesus the best praise that we got today? Any grateful people? Thankful for a God who inhabits the praises of his people. Not the complaints of his people, but the praises of his people. I just have crazy expectation for what God is going to do in this house today. Before I introduce our speaker who's going to bring the word, I want to remind some of you that as a church we have a word for 2026. And that word is trust, confident trust in the Lord. And that comes straight out of scripture, Hebrews chapter 10 verses 35 through 37. We've been declaring this verse every single Sunday and we're going to keep on doing it. How many of you got it memorized? How many are still working on it? You got time, you got time. But come on, let's declare it with some birthday energy, with some uplifted, caffeinated voices. Come on, y'all ready? Remember, don't go until I say, yeah, yeah, yeah. So, do not throw away. Remember, patient endurance so that you will continue. Then you will receive. For in just a little while, the coming one will come and not delay. Come on, somebody. How many of you believe the coming one is coming? Social fam, you about to get blessed on our birthday. Person that's coming to bring the word today, this is his first time at Social Dallas, but don't get it twisted. I have been friends with this man of God for years. I'm talking about for years, 15 plus years. And I'm so grateful for who he is. So grateful for good friends.

One Psalmist said, no new friends. I don't know if I agree with that. You should have some new friends. But if all you got is new friends and there's nobody that's known you for a while, I'm scared of you. And he's actually been more than a friend. He's been a brother who's encouraged me. Even before we planted this church, he was one of those voices saying, I believe in you. You can do it. I'm so thankful for who he is. He's been a blessing, him and his wife, to my family. He comes from Los Angeles, California. Pastors the incredible Zoe Church. Come on, Social fam. I need you to put your hands together. Help me welcome my brother, Pastor Chad Beach, as he comes to bring the word for our third time. Let's go. Come on, everybody. Let's give Jesus a praise today. Why don't we clap our hands? If you're thankful to God, why don't you lift up a shout of thanksgiving and a shout of praise? Amen and amen. Everybody say together. Amen. Stay standing just for a moment. Happy birthday. This is unbelievable.

This is my first time to Social Dallas. But don't get it twisted. I've been stalking you like a crazy ex-girlfriend. Just watching from a distance what the Lord is doing in Dallas, Texas. And I just want to first thank God. And I want to second thank your pastors. Are you grateful for your fearless leaders? Pastors Robert and Taylor Badu. Can we clap and thank God for this amazing couple? Come on, everybody. Let's show honor where honor is due today. We thank God. We thank God for their faithfulness. We thank God for their leadership. And I am convinced great churches do not just appear. They do not fall from the sky. It takes a lot of work, a lot of faith, a lot of sacrifice. It takes a lot of coffee. Because the Lord will not use you if you drink matcha. Get that foul spirit out here. But the Bible says that we're called to be a blessing to our overseers. To share all good things with them. And I just want to say thank you so much, Pastor Robert and Taylor. For not just leading, but the way that you lead. You lead with so much grace, so much generosity, so much integrity. I've been friends with you for years and you only get better. And we thank God we believe the best is in front of you. Come on, clap if you believe it today. The best is in front of you. Ain't no preacher like Pastor Robert.

Madhu now. This is a true story, this is a true story. Two or three nights ago I was putting my eight-year-old to bed and my eight-year-old under the covers looks up to me and he says, Dad, who's the best preacher? Is it Pastor Robert Madhu or this other guy? I said, oh son, don't get it twisted. Pastor Robert Madhu is the best preacher of our generation. Come on, clap and honor him one more time. Thank God for them. Give somebody a high-five next to you, tell them happy birthday, happy birthday. Amen. If you have a Bible, go to your Bible, go to Psalm chapter 63, Psalm 63. I'm grateful to be in church. Amen. It's good to be in the house of God. Psalm 63, go to verse number one. If you're new, we do stand for the reading of God's Word in Dallas, Texas, so go ahead and stand back up to your feet. I am from Los Angeles, California. You know where Luka lives. Don't boo me, I had nothing to do with it. I had nothing to do with it. I'm just letting you know this is where he lives. Y'all so generous, man. You, God, are my God. Let me pause there. I just want to thank God that this year we started a youth ministry at Social Dallas. Can we clap one more time for Ain't nothing like a youth ministry now. Pastor Robert and Pastor Taylor both come from homes that were filled with faith, and their parents served the Lord, but at some point it had to go from their parents' faith to their own faith. It says, you, God, are my God. Earnestly I seek you. I thirst for you with my whole being. It longs for you in a dry and parched land where there is no water. I have seen you in the sanctuary and beheld your power and your glory. Because your love is better than life, my lips will glorify you. I will praise you as long as I live, and in your name I will lift up my what? See, I just want to encourage you when you come to church, don't just hold the plasma. Don't just get your alligator arms. Sometimes you got to lift both your. I will lift up both my hands. I will be fully satisfied as with the richest of foods. With singing lips my mouth will praise you. On my bed I remember you and I think of you through the watches of the night. Because you are my help, I sing in the shadow of your wings. I cling to you. Your right hand upholds me. I want to preach a message on the five-year birthday at Social Dallas. Write down the title. It's called, All I Need. All I Need. Let me pray for us.

Father, thank you so much for five years of your blessing, five years of your faithfulness. Thank you that you've built your church once again. We're believing for great days in front of us. We ask that as we open up your word, open up our eyes that we can see you. Open up our ears that we could hear you. We love you more than anything else. And Lord, we pray this year over the cowboys. Do what you can, Lord. Do what you can in the name of Jesus. And everybody said together, come on clap one more time and give God a praise. You can be seated in the presence of the Lord. All I need, I like that title, All I Need. Because you, have you ever noticed that there were things that you thought that you needed, but you just really wanted? Have you discovered this in your life? Like I thought I needed it, but come to find out it was just a want. Like I thought I needed those shoes, I just wanted those shoes. So much of life is discovering the difference between what you want versus what you need. I'm telling you right now, ain't nobody have more needs than a kid you're trying to put to bed. A child you're trying to put to bed, I'm telling you, I got, where the parents at? Anybody have kids here? Can I show you a photo of my family real fast? This is my, this is my family photo right here. Look at this crew right here. Hello church. That is my beautiful wife. Her name is Julia. That's Winston who's here with me today. Maverick Montgomery, Clive Ellington, and that's my baby girl Georgia. She's 14. When she was born, her brain never formed. She has what's called smooth brain. All of our brains have folds and ridges. Her brain just never developed for whatever reason. She's never walked, she's never talked, she's never crawled, she's never rolled over. But when she was born, the doctor gave us a death sentence over my daughter and said she'll never live to this many years. I'm here to tell somebody today, don't ever let the doctor have the last say. I serve a greater physician and his name is Jesus. Anybody believe that Jesus is greater,

Jesus is bigger, Jesus is better? And anybody believe that Jesus has the last say? Give him a shout of praise if you believe that God can do anything and heal anybody. I'm believing that my baby girl's gonna get out the bed one day, go into the kitchen, make a sandwich, give me a fist pound and say, what's up, Dad? Come on, give him praise today if you believe it. But ain't nobody have greater needs than a kid going to bed. They need water, they need milk, they need back scratches, they need cuddles. I look at my boys and say, what you need to do is close your eyes. You want all that, you don't need all that. It's amazing, every year we go in the month of January, we do 21 days of prayer and fasting. And it's fresh off the heels of December. December is the month that you and I eat like sinners. And we just eat. And people are like, you wanna have a cookie? I want a cookie. You want a cake? I want a cake. I want all of it. And then we go straight from December into celeries and carrots for Christ. And I'm telling you about seven days into the fast every year, my cravings change. My appetite changes.

Stuff that I wanted in December, I can't even tolerate in January. And I just came to tell somebody today, sometimes God's not all you want until God's all you have. And when God becomes all that you have, see, you don't get to the beginning of God until you get to the end of yourself. And when you get to the end of yourself, you say, I thought I wanted God. Come to find out God is all that I need. Clap today if you're thankful that God can supply all of your needs according to his riches and according to his glory. Oh, I love this psalm right here. David says, oh God, you are my God. Earnestly I seek for you in a dry and a weary land where there is no Super Bowl championships anymore. Oh. Earnestly I seek for thee. I want to come into your sanctuary. I lift my hands to praise you because I've discovered, God, that you're all that I need. I'm hungry for you, God. Write down number one today. You don't have to be perfect to be hungry. The thing I love about God is God is not looking for perfect people. God is looking for hungry people. God's not looking for your capability.

God's looking for your availability. And he, listen, anybody that comes to God, he never turns away anyone that comes to him hungry. He only turns away those that come to him full of themselves. Aren't I awesome? Aren't I amazing? Aren't I great? No, I'm telling you, when you come to God and you say, I'm hungry, I'm thirsty, I'm desperate, I'm broken, I'm needy, is there anybody here today in the second service that's hungry for more of God? Give him a clap of praise. Watch what Jesus says in Matthew five, verse six. Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled. Psalm 84, verse two, my soul yearns, even faints for the courts of the Lord. I am craving, I am desperate, I am coming to you hungry because I thought that I wanted all this and needed all this. Come to find out, you are the thing that I need. And when you start to want more of God, you crave his presence. You ever notice how you only crave Chick-fil-A on Sundays? Like, I've never on a Tuesday been like, I'm feeling, I need some Chick-fil-A. It's Taco Tuesday, I'm good. By the way, I'm half Mexican,

are there any Mexicans in the building today? La Cucaracha. Andale pues, carna. That's all the Spanish I know I'm kidding guacamole frijoles But these cravings these desires they're not birthed because you're perfect they're birthed out of your desperate need for God to show up in your life this on the screen I love this two people in the Bible David didn't write his hungriest prayers when he was winning battles Peter didn't understand grace while he was boasting about his loyalty hunger happened in both of them when their souls were dry and their sin was exposed there's something about a person that goes I don't have a shot without you I am nothing without you if you don't show up in my house if you don't show up in my business if you don't show up in this church it's not by power and it's not by might but it's by my spirit says the Lord and I'm hungry for more of God I love that because God is not looking for anybody with talent or gifting God's just looking for somebody that's hungry to do his will that's hungry to follow his plan I have a friend he's a pastor here in Texas and he told this story about how he felt like God had spoken to him to build a Dream Center if you don't know what a Dream Center is it's a place started out of Phoenix First Assembly in Phoenix Arizona it's a place where people that are recovering from addiction can come and get sober it helps people that are homeless it's it's a beautiful wonderful ministry the Dream Center and this guy felt like God spoke to him and said I want you to build a Dream Center here in your town and so he felt like God spoke to him and he needed to obey so he went out and he raised the money and bought the land and they built the building and and when the building was completed they did a grand opening ceremony anybody excited for the grand opening ceremony we're gonna have and in the next couple years and so they pulled the church together and they had some friends and family come in and his pastor came in to pray and bless this this grand opening in this building and

when he was praying over the pastor who was obedient he is praying and blessing the building and blessing the ministry and he stopped in the middle of the prayer and said the Lord says to you you're the sixth man he asked to do this but the first one to say yes and he kept praying and blessing the building but my friend the pastor said he didn't hear a word after that all he heard was Lord I was your sixth option you asked five dudes before me to do this see I'm telling you God's gonna accomplish his will in Dallas God's gonna build his church in Dallas he's just looking for some people that would say Lord you can use my time you can use my talent you can use my treasure I'm hungry for more of your kingdom and more of your glory so I just love this because if you look all throughout the Bible there's people like me and you ordinary people that God used to do extraordinary things people with broken records like us people that ran from God lied to people manipulated people that quit in the middle of missions people that persecuted Christians and God never said I'm done with you he just said I'm not finished with you come on clap today if you believe he who began a good work in your life is gonna be faithful to complete it he's not looking for capability he's looking for availability the first thing we have to understand you don't have to be perfect to be hungry you just have to be hungry to be hungry I love this church because I could sense it there is hunger in this house and can we honor and clap all these people that walked out and testified of what God did in their life one more time I was emotional watching that you know what they're all saying I thought I needed this turned out I only needed God I'm hungry I'm hungry I'm hungry and by the way we're not hungry for the hand of God we're hungry for the heart of God write that down number two we want the hand of the heart of God more than the hand of God we're not gonna use God to get what we want prayer is not getting me getting God onto my agenda prayer is getting me onto God's agenda that's why Jesus said when you pray you ought to pray this way our Father who art in heaven hallowed be thy name your kingdom come your will be done in Dallas even as it is where in heaven in heaven why because we want we want the heart of God

over the hand of God when you only want the hand of God you become someone that uses You would rather have the blessing than spend time with the blesser. You would have all the benefits of God rather than having a relationship with God. And I'm here to tell you at this church, we are hungry and pursuing the heart of the Father. We want more of God in this church. Somebody clap and give him an amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. I love this, that God says this about David. Acts chapter 13, verse 22, God testified concerning him, I have found David, the son of Jesse, a man after my own heart. He will do everything I want him to do. I have found a church in Dallas called Social Dallas, a church after my own heart. This church will do everything I want it to do. Somebody say amen. Amen. And when you do that, you stop looking for the hand of God and you only pursue the heart of God. You'll be in close proximity and a relationship with Jesus. I love this because we gotta recognize

that some of us, we only talk to God when we need stuff. We only pray to God when we want stuff. There's this guy in our church and he fulfills distribution for a lot of artists in LA. And one of his artists that he fulfills distribution for is a rapper who's on the Jordan brand label. And every time this rapper puts out new shoes with the Jordan brand, this guy fulfills all the shipment for it. And he said, every time a new shoe drops, there's a guy in our church that texts him asking for the new shoe drop hookup. And he said, what do you want me to do? The only time I ever hear from this man is when a new shoe comes out. Some of us, the only time we talk to God is when we need that new thing from God. But when you're not after the hand of God, but you just want the heart of God, you say, I am hungry for more of God. I am pursuing your will. I am pursuing your kingdom. Come on, clap if that's your prayer today. I don't want the hand of God as much as I need the heart of God. Pastor Robert and Taylor and I, we have a friend that moved from New York to Hawaii. He felt called to move to Hawaii to plant a church. When he told us that he felt called to Hawaii, we told him to shut up.

Everybody feels called to Hawaii. It's like, no, I feel called to Hawaii. I'm like, so do I. And he moved from New York to Hawaii to start this church, and God is moving powerfully in this church. And he is just seeing like a revival happen in the Hawaiian Islands. And they are pursuing the heart of God. He told me a story recently that he got done praying, and after he got done praying, a man who he had not talked to in eight years sent him a text and said, hey man, I know we haven't talked in a long time, but this morning I woke up and the Lord showed me your face. And the Lord showed me your face and told me that I'm supposed to wire you $250,000 to your church. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow.

Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Hah. Wow Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow.

Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow.

Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. God'll show up, and he'll see it, and he'll say, I can mold you into becoming who you're called to become. See, I'm telling you I know Pastor Robert a long time. I knew Pastor Robert before he married to Pastor Taylor. Pastor Robert this morning in the green room pulled up a photo of us at his bachelor party. I knew Pastor Robert pre-Orange Theory Fitness. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. The reality is you've gotta become who you're supposed to become so you can do what you're supposed to do.

I wanna honor and thank God for your pastors who have led. This church, not ever looking for the hand of God, but always leading us to pursue the heart of God. Come on, clap, and let's honor the Lord today. That's the church that you're a part of. That's the church that we're building into the future, is a church that say, all that I need is God. Look at Ezekiel 36, verse 26. I will give you a new heart. I will put a new spirit in you. I will remove from you your heart of stone, and I will give to you a heart of flesh. I'm telling you, I will remove from you that heart. Sometimes your heart gets clouded. Sometimes your heart gets critical. Sometimes your heart gets cluttered. But I'm here to tell you today, God wants to get rid of that bad heart and give you a new heart. Come on, I will put a new heart in you. I will put a new spirit in you. Anybody thankful that it's out with the old and it's in with the new? Come on, give him a clap of praise if you're grateful. I'm not after the hand, I'm after the heart of God. Because I have made it my determination. I have made it my prayer that nearness is my necessary. Write that down. Nearness, the nearness of God is what I need in my life.

Read this with me, Psalm 73, verse 28. But as for me, the nearness of God is good for me. I have made the Lord God my refuge so that I will tell of all your works. Oh, I like that, go back to the beginning. But as for me, the nearness of God, being close to Jesus is what's good for me. See, an idol was sent into your life to destroy you. An idol in your life takes a good thing and turns it into an evil thing. But God says, no, all you need is me. Stop believing the lie and culture that you need more than God. Jesus plus nothing equals everything. See, we gotta get back to the place where Jesus plus nothing equals everything. I'll never forget, I'm a pastor's kid. Any pastor's kids in the building? We made it. They didn't think we would, but we did. And I was 16 years old. I went to an event in the kingdom in Seattle, Washington, April 25th, 1996. I was a sophomore in high school, and I did not want to pursue ministry. I did not wanna be a preacher. My parents are such amazing people, and they served, and they loved people, and they led so well, but I didn't wanna do that because I wanted to live for myself.

And I'll never forget being on the backside of the kingdom in Seattle, Washington, on the 300 level, and we were singing a hymn, 65,000 men worshiping God, and I had a moment where I said, God, you win, I'm all in on your plan. And I've never looked back from that day, 16 years old. And I got delivered from being addicted to basketball to being addicted to Jesus. I went from my whole life being around hoops to my whole life being around church. And I came home from this event. They gave every man a New Testament Bible and a cassette tape of worship. Gen Z, Google cassette tape later. You don't know the pain in my platform. You don't know the test in my money. And every night, I would wait until about 10 p.m. for my family to go to bed. And I'd get that worship into my Walkman, and I'd put out this Bible. I didn't even know what anything meant. If I saw a word I understood, I'd just circle it. So I'd read the, mm, that's good, Jesus, the. The, the way, the truth, three thes. But I developed in that bedroom at 10.30 at night a hunger for God. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And being close to Jesus was not a 16 thing. It's a 46 thing. Not something I used to do way back then. It's something I still practice in my life today. I need you, Jesus. I need you to show up in L.A. I need you to show up for my children. I need you to. show up in my baby girl i need you to show up in my come on clap if you believe it today i didn't come to you full of myself i came to you hungry i came to you broken i came to you desperate if you don't show up i got nothing jesus i love what he's saying but as for me the nearness of god it's my goodness just to be close to you god my boys when they cuddle their mom do they cuddle that woman sometimes i look across the couch i'm like what i wouldn't give to hold her like that i remember when she used to hold me that way but as for me the nearness of god is my goodness so you've been told a lie you've been told a lie that he is not enough and i'm here to tell you today the devil is a liar jesus plus nothing equals everything the cross is enough for me how about you the blood is enough how about you

church today the Lord is my shepherd I shall not want he makes me lie down in green pastures he leads me besides still waters he leads me in passive righteousness for his namesake and yea though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death I will fear no evil for your rod and your staff they come for me you prepare a banqueting table for me in the presence of my enemies you anoint my head with oil surely goodness and mercy will follow me all the days of my life and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever I reject the lie that you're not enough today I reject the lie that I need something else I reject my flesh that's been pursuing these idols I say I will have no other God before you I will have no other God before you I will say it over and over again the Lord is my light and my salvation the Lord is the strength and the stronghold of my life you said that he who abides under the shadow of the Almighty will rest under the shadow of your wing I declared today we're hungry and we're desperate if you're hungry for God just throw both your hands don't be ashamed don't look to the right or your left come on like the woman that poured out her oil I don't care what nobody else has to think like David that danced before Saul's daughter I don't care what nobody else thinks I'm so hungry and I'm so needy I'm nothing without you God I need you to show up here and now I've come to build an altar an altar to the Lord on five years if you did this much before what are you about to do again so I throw up my hands and I'll praise you again and again come on sing come on my soul ♪ Praise the Lord, come on, come on my soul, come on my soul ♪ ♪ Oh don't you be shy, then tell me your song ♪ ♪ You've got a light inside us all to rise ♪ ♪ Get up and praise, get up and praise, get up and praise the Lord ♪ ♪ Get up and praise the Lord, get up and praise the Lord, get up and praise the Lord, get up and praise the Lord, get up and praise the Lord, get up and praise the Lord ♪ Hey, so I fold my hands, praise You again, over and over, cause all that I have is a hallelujah, hallelujah ♪ And I know it's not much, I know it's not much, I'm nothing else but for the King, except for a heart to need a hallelujah, hallelujah Thank you, Jesus. Jesus plus nothing equals everything. I'm going to ask everybody just to pause, one of your head bowed, and eyes closed, cause this is not a random message. This is a message for this house. I said it before, I'll say it again, Social Dialysis didn't start off like this, in big venues with lots of people, but it did start off with hunger. People that just wanted Him, and I feel like there's somebody here today that needs to respond to this Savior, who is everything that you will ever need, and maybe you've had to go through something where things have been stripped away from you, and now that you're down to nothing, you're in the posture and the position to respond. He's brought you down to your knees. Pastor Chad said that he had a moment in an arena where he was marked, and everything changed. And I think today on this birthday, somebody needs their spiritual birthday to make a public declaration that I am no longer living for me, and I'm going to surrender to this Savior. I'm not asking you, have you had an encounter with church? Have you had an encounter with this Savior that is everything that you need? A Savior who doesn't wait for you to clean yourself up before you come to Him, but as we saw on this stage today, testimonies of lives that were turned around, but you have to surrender. So with heads bowed, eyes closed, nobody's moving, I don't care if it's one person, you're worth it. You hear today, you say, PR, I never surrendered my life to Jesus, but today's the day. I'm coming home. We say all the time in social, you can always come home.

Your Father is not mad at you. No, this is a Father who, while you're getting your speech together and you're coming a long way off, His eyes have been on you. He chases after you with an everlasting love. That's what this church has always been about. That's what it will always be about. Not you encountering a preacher, encountering a Savior. So with heads bowed, eyes closed, if that's you, you say, PR, today's my day. I need to give Jesus my life. Maybe there was a season you were going after the things of God, and your heart's gotten cold, and you hear your Father calling you home today. Would you just lift up your hand high enough and long enough to where I could see it today? Thank you. Yes, yes. Hands going up all over this place today. Thank you, Jesus. Anybody else? Anybody else? All the way at the top. Thank you, God. Come on, this is what your Father wants. When you hear Him speaking, respond. Respond. Anybody else? Thank you, God. Here's what I want to do. I believe this is your birthday today. God's presence can meet you anywhere, but I do think it's something powerful about leaving where you are and coming to a new space. It's a picture of you saying, the old me is where I was, but the new me is where I am. ready to step into what God has for me. So if you lifted up your hand or you should have lifted up your hand, I want you to do something so bold, so brave, but don't worry about what anybody else is gonna think. Would you just come up here to the front? Don't worry about what anybody else thinks. This is between you and your God. Come on, if you lifted it up or you should have, I want you to come, I want you to come. And you're gonna hear some people in this room that know the power of what God can do in a moment that marks you giving God praise. But if you lifted up your hand, I don't care if you are all the way at the top, I promise every step that you take, it is worth it. This is your birthday today. I said, this is your birthday today. This is your birthday. Come on, church, don't stop clapping until people stop coming. He's calling you out of darkness into his marvelous light. Come on. Thank you, Jesus. Thank you, Jesus. Come on, come on, come on.

Thank you, God. Come on, y'all, they're still coming, come on. Come on. Thank you, Jesus. I feel like there's somebody who, even when these testimonies were coming on the stage, you're like, no, but that can't happen for me. My stuff is too messed up. And I came to tell you the devil is a liar. There is no life that God cannot turn around. There is no story that cannot be redeemed. So if you said that, and you know you need to respond, I want you to come, I want you to come. I want you to come, I want you to come. Thank you, Jesus. Thank you, God, thank you, God. I wanna say this too, I felt this so strongly. Pastor Chad talked about, he was 16 years old. There's somebody that needs to respond. You're a teenager, and you know there's a call of ministry on your life, you've been fighting it, you've been running away from it. And God says, today's your day to come out of hiding. You know you're called. You've been with the wrong crowd. You are not a follower, you are a leader. And God told me, he's marking you for your generation. You need to come and respond to that. Who is that teenager? Come on, come on.

There's a revival that's about to break out with young people in Dallas. God said, you're the key. But you gotta come out of the darkness and out of the hiding and respond. This is your moment. He is marking you. Come on. Thank you, Jesus. Thank you, God. Thank you, God. Thank you, God. Thank you, God. Thank you, Lord. Thank you, God. Thank you, God. Thank you, God. Thank you, God. She'll never be the same, Father. Thank you, God. Thank you for your daughter today, for her freedom over her life today. Today is a new day for you. Thank you, God. Anybody else? Come on, come on, they're still coming. Come on, come on, come on. He's all I need. He's all I need. Even when my mother and father forsake me,

God will be with me. He is all I need. Father, thank you for moments that mark us, where we will never be the same. Father, may this always be a house that hungers for you. Father, thank you for the promise that they that hunger and thirst for righteousness shall be filled. You're everything that we need, God. Have your way in us and through us. Those of you at this altar, can you just lift up your hands just as a sign of surrender? I love this. This is the international sign of surrender. This is a sign to say, okay, I'm coming to the end of myself, and I need this Savior. And I'm gonna give you the words to say in this prayer, but you say it from your heart. Thank you, God. Oh, would you say this? Say, Jesus, my hands are lifted because I need you. I don't just want you. I need you. I cannot do life without you. You are life. So, Jesus, today, I give you everything. Forgive me of my sin.

Make me brand new. From this moment forward, I'm walking with you. You are my God. You are my Lord. You are my Savior. In Jesus' name. Come on, somebody say amen, amen. Come on, give God the best praise that you got today. Come on, you can do better than that. Can we give God some praise? Well, I've just kind of jacked everything up. We for real have to be out of here. But how many are looking for the day when we got our own building and can't nobody tell us what time? What time to get out? I guess I'll say this, those of you who prayed that prayer, we want to be the church family that comes alongside you. You can't do this by yourself. You need somebody. If you'd scan that QR code or just tap the seat on your way out, it just allows us to follow up with you. We got a team that will be in the lobby, give you a Bible, would love to meet you. But can we thank God for what he did today and thank God for Pastor Chad Beach for that word today. Come on, y'all can be better than that. I also want to let you know, next Sunday, if you come here to Texas Trust, you'll be by yourself. This has been our rhythm as a church for five years. You don't have a clue what it takes to do church at this level every single week. And I'm so thankful for every single person again on our serve team who serves faithfully up early this morning in the rain, setting the table for this moment right here. And so every year, right after Easter and birthday, we just take a Sunday to allow them to be refreshed and to just rest. So we'll be online. So catch us on YouTube. But if you pull up here, you'll just be having church in the parking lot. But thank you so much for coming. I'm going to invite my family still to come because I'm so thankful for my children and for my amazing bride. Come on, y'all can be better than that.

Thanks for letting mommy and daddy lead this church. And I love you guys so much. You're the best. And so we're going to praise on our way out and we're going to praise fast because we for real got to be out of here. But come on, one more time. Can we give God some praise for five years? There's only one thing left to say. Come on, y'all. We love y'all. May the Lord bless you and keep you. Call this place to shout upon you. Give you grace and peace now and forevermore. Come on.
