There is a Table | The Table | Pastor Tim Payne

Hey, welcome to Momentum Church. We have an awesome message for you today. I know you're absolutely going to love it, so make sure to leave a like on the video and comment down below anything you get from it or if you need prayer for anything. Enjoy. That's a great place to stay right there this week. Sometimes the most powerful prayers are not the longest prayers. Sometimes it's just a short prayer of surrender. Like God, you're my everything. Sometimes we, we miss the mark in that we think it's information, but the Holy Spirit is more than just information. The Holy Spirit is more than just inspiration. God is a God of transformation, transformation. And when you and I begin to say something like that, even if it hasn't been so, death and life is in the power of the tongue. Watch this real fast. You ever said like, whew, I feel a headache coming on. Oh God, I feel like I have migraines coming. Anyone ever said that? What happened? You got one. Anyone ever been like, I think I'm catching a cold. Like what we think we speak and what we speak becomes reality. Are you with me? So even if you come into the house and your faith is running a little low, kind of like your gas tank, anyone ever push it? You're like, I'm pretty sure even though it's below red, I got three more miles. Hey, Moment of Church is the perfect place for imperfect people. I just want you to know that there's no judgment here, but just like that is true of what we speak. So it is true when you come in here and, and instead of like you're up on the mountain, like you feel like victory in Jesus. No, it's more like you on the short struggle bus. Anyone ever been on the short struggle bus before? And you're like, I didn't feel like coming to church. And to be honest, God already knows my heart. I really don't want to be in church. I'm just tired. I'm a little hangry. I'd rather be in bed right now. And there's a lot to be angry about, but you know what? You come into an environment like this where prayer and praise has shifted the atmosphere and you step in to the presence of a Holy God. You know what happened? You can declare, you are my everything. And all of a sudden faith begins to rise and you sing it again and you say it again, God, you are my everything. And faith begins to rise and faith begins to rise. And then all of a sudden you hear the word of God and it gets in your heart and your heart has been plowed and soft soiled and you leave the house and all of a sudden everything's good because you got a faith lift. Come on. How many people need a faith lift today? Come on. Thank y'all for leading

us. What an awesome, awesome song. Awesome worship production. Thank you. Hey, I'm glad y'all are here. Y'all be seated. I want to preach a message entitled today. There is a table. There is a table. Tell your neighbor, there is a table. Come on. There is a table. You know, the table is mentioned 72 times in the Bible, the table, the table, the table. We see it all through scripture. There was a table of show bread depending on the translation you have. It may, it may read show bread or shoe bread, but the point of it is there was bread on the table. It was for the priest. It was for the priest and the priest alone to eat. In Mark's gospel, Jesus is with his disciples. It's kind of like his youth group. They were probably, I don't know if they're middle school age, definitely high school age for in their culture. You turn 12, you become a man. Remember Jesus started his ministry when he turned 12. Remember his parents can find them. They're looking for him and he's like, don't you know I'm supposed to be about my father's business up to that point. Those are the first words Jesus speaks recorded in scripture. But up to that point, Jesus was learning a trade from his stepfather, Joseph. History says that Joseph passed away at a certain point when Jesus was younger, but Jesus would have been an apprentice and Joseph was a carpenter. So Jesus was a carpenter. I wonder how many tables Jesus made in the Old Testament. The picture was symbolic and significant that There would be bread in the house of God. In fact, there's a whole town named after bread. You may know which town that was. Bread was significant and symbolic. The table and bread, they went together. The table and the bread went together. And we read about the show bread. In Mark's gospel, Jesus with the disciples, they're walking through a field of grain and some of the disciples break it off and they start eating, but it's on the Sabbath. And the law said you couldn't do any work. You couldn't harvest.

So there were Pharisees pretty close. How many know you may have a Pharisee close enough to kiss you? The Pharisees were close and they're watching and then they're hailing accusations like, oh, you weren't supposed to do that. You know a Pharisee when they're constantly pointing out what you're doing wrong and don't ever look in the mirror to fix what's actually going on. And Jesus takes them back and he said, wait, wait, wait, let's go back. David, do you not remember that story, Pharisees? Do you not remember when David and his men were hungry? They'd been traveling, they'd been fighting and he took him into the tabernacle to the table of show bread and David took the bread and he gave it to his men to eat. Do you not remember that? And the Pharisees got real quiet. By the way, Pharisees get quiet when you speak the truth. Because the truth has set you free and the Pharisees didn't want to be free. They just wanted to be right. Jesus said, don't you remember that story? By the way, he said the Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath. Sabbath was made for man to help you. How many know you're better when you rest? Did you know if you and I live with Sabbath in our life,

we'll actually do better? We'll actually be better. We'll be more whole. We'll be more helpful. We'll be more loving. But when we work seven days a week and we're constantly grinding seven days a week, you're actually working different than God created you to do. God rested on the seventh day and he did that to model that you and I have to recharge, not just our iPhones. We gotta recharge, you gotta shut it down. You're like, we're not a machine. You're like, I'm a machine. But how long can you really go without rest and still be a good husband? Because I tell you the most dangerous place to be is when you're successful and tired. That's a dangerous trap. And Jesus was setting them right. The table's mentioned 72 times. One of my favorite parts is Psalm 23, verse five, that he prepares for us a table in the presence of our enemies. So let me just, let me unpack this real quick. He prepares for us a table and that goes two ways. The truth is he does prepare for us a table. There is a table prepared for you. Look at your neighbor and say, I got a table. God loves you enough that God has prepared a table for you.

We're gonna come back to that point. Stay with me. Sometimes in church, we get comfortable sitting on our blessed assurance. ♪ Blessed assurance, oh Jesus is mine. ♪ Oh, he's mine. He's not yours, but he's mine. And if we're not careful, we forget that the table has existed through scripture and the table is prepared and is presented. And Jesus says, whoever will, come and dine. The table is here. The table's here. And as a church, if we're not careful, a church can become us four no more. It's just us. And so we have the same people around the table and we become so inward focused that we lost sight of the vision that Jesus said, go and tell, go and preach the gospel, baptize, go and make disciples. Are you with me? And real disciples are getting the gospel out to save people so that they can become a disciple that is discipled to go rescue people. We're on a rescue mission, are you with me? But if we're not careful, we just think the table is for us. I mean. In fact, you coming over here with me, and in church, we have our favorites. Eeny, meeny, miny, moe.

I like good worship. Mmm, I got some good kids ministry. I got a couple teenagers. I just want to thank the Lord. My man's got student ministry. Old man Jesus. And we can become so inward focused that we think it's just for us. It's my table. There is a table, but here's what I want you to know. Everyone's invited. I'm going to preach that in just a minute. I'm trying to swallow this food. But we all have different things that are favorite about the table, because there is a table prepared for me, and it is prepared for you, but not just you. Notice there are different seats at this table. If our band was just a guitar, it wouldn't have the fullness of what we had today. Are you with me? And that's why I'm thankful that you guys are here at the table. The table is here. The table represents the church. I mean, the table is all throughout scripture. It gets into the New Testament. You have the disciples at the Last Supper, John, in John's gospel. John refers to himself as the disciple whom Jesus loved. It's kind of like him saying, I'm the guy, you know. So the disciple whom Jesus loved was resting upon Jesus. The table would have been lower in that culture. They would sit on the ground. They would recline on each other. That's why your Bible says they were reclining on each other.

It was all about the table, because we were created for community, and there is community around the table. The table represents the church. Someone say the church. The church is the table. But how many know there's something that's on the table that is bigger and even better than the table? It's actually the purpose of the table, and that is the bread. That's the bread. The bread is Jesus. Jesus equals the bread of life. If you were with us last Sunday, I was preaching, and where I stopped in scripture, we would actually pick up right there. Let's go to the verses real quick. This is powerful. We're in John chapter six. John chapter six. Let's just read one verse, one verse powerful. Jesus is talking, and Jesus says this. Jesus is replying, right? He's replying. So Jesus had just, remember, Jesus had just done miracles. He had cast out 6,000 demons out of one person. How many know that'll make you tired? And then he goes from that, and he steps right into a miracle, because ministry never stops. And they remembered the bread. Remember a little boy? You had the lad, and you had the lunch, but you had the Lord, and the Lord took the lad's lunch, and he fed the multitude, and there were 12 baskets remaining. Remember that?

Now Jesus is replying, and he tells them one of the seven I am statements in John's gospel. You probably remember some of them. I am the door. That's one of his I am statements. I am the door. I am the resurrection and life. Remember that? Lazarus died. Jesus is looking at Mary and Martha, and he says, hey, I am the resurrection and life. Whoever believes in me, though he were dead, yet will he live again. Remember that? Remember John 14, 6, I'm the way, the truth, and the life. No man comes to the Father, but by me, I am the good shepherd. Remember that? These are the I am statements. And now John is reminding us that Jesus gave us one more. He said, I am the bread of life, and whoever comes to me, whoever comes to me, they will never be hungry again. Did you know there are people in your world, people in your neighborhood, people that you share an office with? There are people that right next to your locker, there are people you work with in the emergency room or in the ICU, and they are so hungry. Their souls are dying of hunger and thirst for something that will satisfy. for something that is real, for something that will last longer than being drunk, for something that is bigger than the disappointment of I bought that and I thought it would fix everything and it was fun for a little bit and now I still feel empty. There are people that are starving and they're looking for what you and I have

and we have it at the table. Jesus said, I am the bread of life and whoever comes to me, they'll never be hungry again. Whoever believes in me, never be thirsty. You have some friends and some family, you have coworkers and people that are close to you but they are so far from God that they need the table, they need the church and they need the church to say, it's not about us, it's about what is at the table, it's about who is at the table, it's about what we have at the table. We have the bread of life at the table. That's what we have and you can go to Israel and you watch people walking around with bread like this. It's their lunch, it's not Whataburger, it's not Chick-fil-A. They're walking around with bread and a cup and inside the cup's yogurt and they'll dip the bread in the yogurt and that is a solid meal. Jesus would say it this way, man shall not live by bread alone but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God. Jesus goes fasting as the spirit of God led him into the wilderness. Hey, sometimes we blame the devil, don't give the devil the credit. God may be leading you to the wilderness so God can prove to you he's the God that will get you through the wilderness.

Are you with me? And I wanna tell you it's easier to meet God in the wilderness when he's got your attention than it is when you're on top of the mountain and you're a little distracted. Are you with me? And it's during then that the devil says, hey, if you're God, take these stones and make them bread. He was hungry. I love bread, I love cheese bread. I love sourdough bread. I mean, your house will never smell better than when you're cooking bacon or sourdough bread. That's a fact, Jack. This weekend, both those smells were in my house. Bread will help you gain weight. I was in high school, I was trying to break the 115 pound. How many know I broke it? I couldn't, I worked at McDonald's. I'd eat a 40 piece chicken nugget, a large fry, large Coke or Dr. Pepper and a large shake and I still couldn't gain a pound. I look at it now, I gained five pounds. How many know the struggle is real? Young people enjoy it. Eat all the bread you want now. I go to McGuire's, I went there, I took Pastor Jim, he preached revival and they put that bread in front of us. You know what I'm talking about. Just give me the 18 cents beans.

Give me the bread and keep that butter flowing, baby. Cause you know what, I can get full before my steak ever gets here. Are you with me? I like good bread. I like butter. I mean, grandma had the secret. She left the butter on the stove and it was easy to spread. But you know, I got some garlic in my house. You mince that garlic, some cloves, cut that up, put in the butter, put in the microwave or put it on the stove. We got gas put on the stove and just, and then you take that bread. You just be a happy camper all day cause you got something that satisfies. How many ever filled up on bread before? As an appetizer and then your food got you like, yeah, I'm gonna need a box. There's something about bread to help you gain weight. And you know, when we get into Jesus, we'll gain weight spiritually. We talk about muscle, not fat. There'll be something to us. Someone say, you look a little stronger. You look like you've been working out. You look like you've been bulking up spiritually. You got a little more faith. You got a faith lift. And they're like, yeah, man, I started reading my Bible

and believe it or not, it works. I feel God's presence where I used not to feel God's. Are you with me? The table, there's the table in the book of Revelation. It says that there's gonna be the marriage supper, the lamb where we're all gonna come to the table and we're gonna come and dine. We're gonna feast. I believe by faith, Blue Bell ice cream's gonna be served. In Jesus' name, I declare it. Not the Tillamook or the Breyers, just the Blue Bell. There's something about the table. There's something about what's on the table. And as a church, hey guys, seriously, you know, as a church, let's not forget that the table, not only is there a table, but everyone's invited. Can I preach this for a minute? There's, next week, the message is gonna be chair aware. We're gonna talk about awareness to the different chairs. You know, every Sunday when we preach, there are different layers of people here. There are people, I just met a guy, super cool, awesome guy, he came last gathering. He hadn't been to church in 30 years. Retired fire chief, just moved here from, not Las Vegas, Utah, Salt Lake. Just moved here, and he told me in the back, Chris said, man, I haven't been to church in 20, probably 30 years, I haven't been. And he came to the early one,

he came to the second one with his daughter, sat right over here, he was sitting back there on the first one and up front on the second one. That's the power of your daughter, you with me? Come on, and you know what, he's taking it in. And I said, how's your experience? He's like, man, a lot different than what I came from, man. I really, this was good, this was good. And I said, everyone's welcome. Atheists have a seat at the table. Agnostics have a seat at the table. Doesn't matter someone's sexuality, there's a seat at the table. Are you with me? It doesn't matter someone's political point of view, there's a seat at the table. Jesus said, whosoever will, come, let them come. Come and dine, there's a seat for young and old at the table. And our job as Christians is to point people to Jesus, the bread of life, everyone is invited. You and I are to invite, our church mission is this, we exist to lead people to passionately follow Jesus. But I can't expect a baby, and this is where seasoned Christians can get it wrong. You can be a Christian for so long that you come across so strong and you have no patience for spiritual babies. Been on a plane, wah, wah, wah, been in a restaurant, not restroom,

been in a restaurant, wah, wah, you're like, why can't they control your kid? And then you have the kid. You're like, oh Jesus, meet me here, help me, deliver me. Now, Jesus, even so, come, Lord Jesus. And sometimes people will be in church and if they're not careful, they forget that this table isn't just for them. Like, praise God for spiritual maturity. I like a mature grape. But a baby can't handle this. They'll choke. In fact, an adult would choke if they're talking with their mouth full, which is why I swallowed before I started talking. Someone would help their pastor, when they, please tell me, someone here would know what to do. Not today, devil. Steph's like, take your time. You and I, we are told to invite people to table. Next week, we're gonna talk about the chairs, but Psalm 23 says, he prepares for me a table in the presence of my enemies. Let's preach that second part. There is a table that is for you and it's also prepared for you in the presence of your enemies. Let's go to a quick Bible story. Let's go, Saul, Saul and David.

Watch the house of David. It's on Prime. Season one is free, but they gotta pay for it. So you get charged on season two. Totally worth it. Watch it. It's incredible. David becomes king. The context is Israel wanted a king and God said, I'll be your king. They were given judges. Pastor Steph preached on that revival. What was the judge he talked about? Gideon, Gideon. So when the judges were done, the people were like, we want a king. They were looking at other nations that had kings and they were saying, we want to be like the world, but you're supposed to be different. God said, I'm the one, I'm enough for you. They're like, no, no, no. We want to be like everybody else. Don't want to be like everybody else. This is for someone right here. You're trying to conform to the image of somebody else. You're trying to do that for them to like you, for you to be acceptable for them. If they don't like you, how God made you, then you don't need to worry about their opinion. Are you with me?

David becomes king and Saul was trying to kill him before he took the throne and David can't sleep one night and he's thinking and he's like, you know what? Is anyone left in Saul's family that I could honor? Jesus said it like this. Bless your enemies, pray for them. It's easy to pray for your friends. It's hard to pray for your enemies. God bless, help me Jesus, I can't pray it. He says, is there anyone from the house of Saul? And there was. There was a young man who, when he was a child, the enemy came in, they picked him up, they rushed out of the house, and he got dropped. And it paralyzed him. So Mephibosheth paralyzed from the waist down. Mephibosheth in a wheelchair. He's in a wheelchair. And Mephibosheth is living in Lodabar. Lodabar, not Hidabar. Lodabar. And he's living low, he's hiding. He has royal blood flowing through his veins. I'm gonna preach this in a second. But he's living low, under the bar, Lodabar. And he's living with the load on the bar. The load on the bar is, I'm not worthy. I don't belong. Anybody ever treat you different than your brothers or sisters? Does your parent favor one?

Anybody ever tell you that you weren't worth it? Anybody ever tell you that you're a failure, wish you were never born? Anyone ever tell you something that stuck with you, it happened in elementary, and my God, why is it still sticking in my 40s? Are we tracking? And so that kind of load can do something to you. And Mephibosheth, he's living in Lodabar, and he gets a message that the king wants to see him. Do you know what that meant? In that day and age, the context was the king wanted to off with your head, so you were not a threat to become the next king. But David was a man after God's own heart. David wanted to reflect God's heart. When you, oh, I feel like God. When you and I love people that don't deserve it, there's something holy about that, and there's something helpful about that. David summons him to the palace, and he shows up in his wheelchair. Oh, king, live forever. There's nervousness in his voice. Kind of talk high when you get nervous. Oh, king, live forever. And David says, don't be afraid. Who's this remind us of? Kind of remind us of Jesus a little bit. And he said, don't be, don't be,

I prepared a table for you. My table's gonna be your table. My food's gonna be your food. There's a place for you at the table. And I think there's Christians that never get on a serve team, that never step up because the devil's lied to you and labeled you and the lie has lived too long. And the lie seems too strong. And you feel like I don't have a place at the table. Maybe, you know, I'm different here or I didn't fit in there. But I want to tell you something. There's room for you at God's table. And God is so good. He'll prepare a table for you in the presence of your enemies. What does that mean? Well, real fast, anybody got a hater before? Anyone ever had a hater? Anyone still got a few? Let me tell you something. You know what God will do? God will promote you right in front of your haters. So they have to watch it. They have to see it. Remember David got anointed and he didn't even get invited. His father and all the brothers forgot him. Samuel's there and he's like, is there really no more guys? And they were like, David's not here, but it couldn't be him. But when others see a shepherd boy, gotta see a king. In the presence of his enemies, you watch the house of David,

you'll see how his brothers were jealous. You watch that. And God lifted, humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God. And in due season, in due time, God will lift you up. So they don't like you at the office. So your boss can't stand you. You just keep being faithful. You keep being loving. You stay prayerful. Pray for your enemies. They curse you. They talk bad about you. They gossip about you. They laugh at you. You come walking in. They're like, you go to school and they're like, here comes the Christian. Here comes the virgin. Here comes the Jesus freak. And they talk about you and you just don't fit in. Here comes the holy roller. You know what I'm talking about? The same God who made you knows how to lift you because he prepared a table. for you in the presence of your enemies. And I'm telling you, if you will just stay faithful to God, it doesn't matter who comes against you. It doesn't matter if God is for you, who can be against you. The enemy cannot stop you unless you let him. But if you'll follow Jesus, I'm telling you, you will realize there's a table prepared for you

in the presence of your enemies. And being a month out from Easter, I want us to get under the weight, not of low thinking, not of low self-esteem, but I want us to get under the weight that there's still room at the table. There's still chairs at the table. And there are people you know that if you don't pray for them, and if you don't invite them, they may never come to the table. A big guy came last gathering, I'll close with this. And then the invitation, a big guy came, big and strong. Pastor Steve had invited him, he came. He had come before in the middle school, he stopped coming. When people stop coming, there's a reason. We don't need to judge them, we just need to say, hey, come on back. I'm not gonna look down at you, I'm not gonna judge you. You know, come on, there's a seat, sit with me. And Steve invited him, he came back. Pastor Steph and I had a waitress two days ago, we invited her. He said, you gotta come, but I'm not just talking about Easter, we got church four times before then. Three times, you with me? She came, brought her boyfriend, last gathering. Praise God. They got an invitation.

Everybody's invited. What if we lived like that? We'd treat them different at the restaurants getting ready to go to. We'd treat them like a person that needs Jesus, not like a dog. So anyways, a big guy came, I was talking to him out there, and he's like, yeah, Pastor Steve, we work out in the gym together. He invited me, I came. My son was like, dad, I need to go to church. God was working in then, he ends up coming to church. And he told me that a guy that I knew that lives in Navarre just took his life yesterday. I've been to that guy's house. Invited that guy, been fishing with his father. And on the outside, you would look at him and say, he's got everything going on, but he needed the table. By the way, some people don't want the table because of other tables they've been at or are sitting at, which keeps them thinking they could never come to this table, and that's who the table was prepared for. Jesus said, I came for the lost, I came for the sick. We gotta get the lost and the sick at the table. You got a part to play, Easter's coming. We got invite cards as you leave. We buy those invite cards because we believe they're more than pen and paper. We truly believe, we pray over them, and we pray for you. And we pray that you will talk to God

about your friend or family, and that you will talk to God about your neighbor, and that you will talk to God about your neighbor. God about your friend or family before you talk to your friend or family about God. It looks like this. I went to wine on the water yesterday. I took seven invite cards, I passed out five. I prayed over those five, and I asked God, God, put some people in front of me. Give me an opportunity to invite, and I got five out of seven. I don't know what God's gonna do with that, but I know I was obedient. By the way, if you're gonna fish, you gotta fish where the fish are. You ain't gonna catch a fish in a pool unless there's a pool I don't wanna swim in. It's what it looks like. God, I'm a little hesitant, because who am I for you to use me? And God's like, no, it's not who am I. It's like, Lord, here am I, send me. Different mindset. God, I just pray for Mark. Mark needs you. I've invited Mark before. God, I can't get Mark here. He's bigger than me. He's been lifting longer than me,

but God, you can, and I pray in the mighty name of Jesus, the scales, the blinders that the enemy has over his eyes, and he can't see. He is in the dark. I pray in the mighty name of Jesus, you would summon your holy angels, and God, I pray they would rip the blinders off, and I pray what I can't do, I know you can do, so in the name of Jesus, I need him to come on next Sunday. In the name of Jesus, I need him to come. In the name of Jesus, I need him to come Easter Sunday. In the name of Jesus, I wanna invite him to Good Friday, get him to the cross. Are you with me? In the name of Jesus, God, do what only you can do. When you and I talk to God about the people we're burdened for, you, all of a sudden, Watch God do what you thought God wasn't willing to do He was willing to do but we talked to God about them before we go to them without going to God. Are you with me? What would happen? Dream, dream, dream. Let's close. What would happen if we all just were like we're gonna do it What would it happen if we all really were like Christians? Christian means Christlike. If Jesus at age 12 Said do you not know I'm supposed to be about my father's business? How old are you? How focused are you? How Christlike Are you? Are you with me? There's a world lost and dying like the guy that took his life yesterday

Because his soul was dry and he couldn't get to the bread of life Breaks my heart and you'll see people today wherever you go today, you'll see people that that is their story And God is writing his story history and you and I are invited to point people To the bread of life Would you bow your heads? Would you stand your feet? Would you close your eyes? How many would say pastor Tim? I just want to say like I need prayer, prayer teams coming I need prayer today because the truth is Sometimes I can be a little bit about me I love me. I love me some me and I can just be focused on me my day my life my rights My my my my oh my oh my god change me I Need God to change me. I need to not just be so inward focused That's for and no more. I need God to change that. How many that you raise your hand, would you real quick? Hold it up high. God bless you. No judgment here, but you're gonna be honest. God bless you God bless you a lot of hands a lot of hands All right, how many would say, you know, kind of like my Fibber chef. I'm kind of living in low to bar I think you know humility is not thinking less of yourself real humility is thinking of yourself less often putting other people first I Mean say Pastor Tim. I'll just be honest like honestly my past whatever and none of us watches We don't have to stay victims We can become victorious Jesus said you'll be an overcomer Are you with me? But I mean say I kind of struggle with the victim mentality because what happened I got dropped someone dropped me So I got rocked And you know what? I just don't think That I have any value but if you went to Publix you dropped a can of creamed corn You might pick it up put it on the shelf and take one that wasn't dented But the truth is both of those cans dented and not dented

They still got the same goodness on the inside what happened on the inside what happened on the outside Didn't change the value of what's on the inside and you say but I struggle with thinking about myself Like like I'm not worthy like I can't I'm not able I'm less than other people Why would God want me and you're stuck in Lodobar raise your hand if that's you hold it up hold it up If that's you hold so many hands, that's where God will meet you today. I want you to come pray in a minute God can change that mindset. He'll renew your thinking. He will transform your thinking by the power of the Word of God Why you got to get in the word? Seven days a week That's why you got to be here at church because the word will change you from the inside out faith comes by hearing Hearing by the Word of God and then then lastly say, you know pastor Tim I just need God to give me a burden. I don't have a burden for anybody To be honest like, you know, we're not talking about the table I'm not talking about the bread. The truth is I'd be cool with just coming to Easter and leaving And I need Jesus to do a work in my heart So I can help people come to the table so they can Have the bread of life if that's you put your hand up in there hold it up hold it up hold it up high Yeah, God bless you a lot of hands. So Jesus I just pray over all these things and I pray you would give them courage to move out and pray God wherever we need to be changed change us Thank you that revival doesn't end just because Thursday nights over Continue to revive us again We pray with heads bowed eyes closed if you're here, you're not a Christian Going to church doesn't make you a Christian getting baptized Don't make you a Christian having 17 Bibles doesn't make you a Christian reading devotions Doesn't make you a Christian you become a Christian when you call on the name of the Lord and you put your faith and trust in Christ alone that he died on the cross. He shed his blood. They buried him and three days later He rose again, and you need his death his burial his resurrection You need the power of the gospel to save you. You can't be good enough You can't earn it on your best day. So you come just as you are and say here I I am just as I am, I put my faith and trust in you, Christ.

If you've never done that, today's your day. You're watching online. You're watching on social media, on the Pando app. You're in Blackwater. You're here in the building in Pensacola. If you're not a Christian, today is the day of salvation. Today's the day. If you want to become a Christian, I'm going to lead you in a sinner's prayer. You're not praying to me. You don't get to heaven through me or any other person. There's one mediator between God and man. That's the man, Christ Jesus. You put your faith in Jesus, in Jesus alone. So we're going to pray to him right now. Church, pray with me. Now I'm going to ask you if you prayed it for the first time to raise your hand. I want you to hold it up high when we get to that point. I don't want you to be shy. I don't want you to hesitate. I don't want you to procrastinate. I want you to raise it up high like Jesus made me new today. And we're going to give you a gift. Let's pray. Would you say, Jesus? I'm a sinner and I need you to be my savior, to be my Lord. Thank you for loving me, for bleeding for me, for dying for me. And I believe you rose again on the third day. And I, today, give you my life. I receive your life. Now teach me how to live in Jesus name.

Look up guys. If you prayed that prayer, you're just as saved as this preacher. Because for whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved. And you'd be saved in your car. You'd be saved watching this online. You can be saved in prison. You can be saved in church. But if you just prayed that prayer and trusted Christ, we want to celebrate with you. Let us know. There's a number on the screen. Text Jesus to that number. If you're here, I want you to hold your hand up on the count of three. Then we're going to sing a song. This is a time for people to come and pray. But first we got some people that cross the line of faith. We're going to celebrate. Raise that hand on three. One, two, three. Right now, hold it up. God bless you. Come on, hold it up. Incredible. Incredible. Thank you, Jesus. Lead us, Abbey, in this song as the team leads us in the song of worship. I want to invite you to pray every gathering, even the 8 a.m. This place was filled with people praying. Come on, let's pray, church. Let's pray together. Thank you.
