Valley Gospel

Did You Know?

Pastor Bob Ezatoff Season 1 Episode 36

Have you ever considered that your spiritual journey might be as dynamic and profound as the stories in the Bible? Join us as we explore the vibrant atmosphere of Valley Gospel Church in Springdale, Pennsylvania, where a service begins with amusing "Did you know?" anecdotes before transitioning into a heartfelt message based on 1 Corinthians 3:16-17. We discuss the powerful symbolism of believers as temples of God, reflecting on the foundational aspects of faith and the comforting reality of being cradled in divine hands as we near the close of 2024.

Discover the intricacies of the human struggle with sin as we unravel the teachings of Romans 6 and 7. Through Paul's candid reflections on the challenge of living by spiritual law, we confront the truth about the limitations of self-effort. Our conversation sheds light on the indispensable role of the Holy Spirit in transcending these struggles, offering a path to freedom through Christ's resurrection. Paul's teachings in Philippians add another layer, revealing the greater value of spiritual over worldly achievements as we seek transformation.

The episode wraps up with a critical look at the alarming statistic that 41% of mainline preachers question the Bible's truth. We emphasize the necessity of a genuine relationship with Jesus, facilitated by the Holy Spirit, urging listeners to pursue a deeper understanding beyond mere religious rituals. The journey of spiritual redemption culminates in a celebration of newfound freedom and purpose, symbolizing a life transformed and renewed through unwavering faith. Join us for an episode filled with inspiration, insight, and the promise of spiritual growth.

Speaker 2:

Thank you, Jesus. God will open. He'll open up the windows of heaven and pour you out a blessing. My God will open. He'll open up the windows of heaven and He'll pour you out a blessing. My God will open. He'll open up the windows of heaven, He'll pour you out a blessing, and you will not have the room, not because of you, but because he's good, and you will not have the room to receive him.

Speaker 3:

Hello Welcome to Valley Gospel Church. We are a non-denominational Pentecostal church located in Springdale, pennsylvania. Hello Welcome to Valley Gospel Church. We are a non-denominational Pentecostal church located in Springdale, pennsylvania. Our sole mission is to present the living truth of a risen Lord Jesus Christ to a remnant church and a lost world. Let's get into the service recorded live at Valley Gospel Church.

Speaker 1:

I always get told that I'm a little too serious and I need to lighten up a little bit. So I'm going to open the filing cabinet today. That might reveal a lighter side. It's a file that Arabelle and I's children have poured into us for 30 years. In all honesty, stephanie more than Michael, but it's a did you know file. Did you know? And really I didn't see the value of this. Did you know file? Until just recently? So I'm going to give you a few of them. Until just recently. So I'm going to give you a few of them and you put a value on whether they're valuable or not. Did you know? And again, we've been accosted with these forever. Did you know that butterflies taste with their feet? Hmm, did you know that termites eat wood at twice the speed when heavy metal music is being played is being played? Did you know that Walt Disney was afraid of mice and that Napoleon was afraid of cats? Do you know the most common name for a pet goldfish? For a pet goldfish Jaws.

Speaker 1:

Now here's a couple that are of particular interest to me, seeing I'm left-handed, right-handed people, and I have to say, when Steph gave me this, did you know? I was a little upset. Right-handed people live nine years longer than left-handed people. On average, 2,500 lefties die every year using right-handed products. That used to be a big thing growing up as a kid Fishing reels, weren't. You had to buy a left-handed reel, all right same. With every firearm you used to have to get the safety switched over to the other side or buy a special firearm. That not such a problem anymore. Did you know that all polar bears are left-handed, left pawed? Did you know that Kermit the Frog is left-handed? Wow, come on, christy, let's go. You can be up here for the last couple.

Speaker 1:

These are some general. Did you knows? Do you know on national TV the first couple that was shown in bed together? I know a lot of people think like Lucy and Ricky, fred and Wilma. All right, here's for you mothers, you young mothers, grandmothers. Do you know? On average, a four-year-old asks 437 questions a day. And for you, married couples, do you know the percentage of American men that would marry the same woman? 80%, 80%, 80%. The percentage of American women that would marry the same one 49. Did you know that in a public restroom, the stall closest to the door is always the cleanest because it's used the least Makes sense? Did you know that banging your head against the wall burns roughly 150 calories an hour. So if you needed to drop a couple of pounds, there's a way Of these facts. That may or may not be useful, but I have one.

Speaker 1:

Did you know to begin today's message, that Jesus himself spoke, and I know is useful? So if you'll turn, please, to 1 Corinthians 3. 1 Corinthians 3, 16 and 17. That song, glorious, impossible, is going to run around in my head all day. 1 Corinthians, 3, 16 and 17,. Please stand to your feet in reverence to God's word. Amen. Know you not that you are the temple of God, because the Spirit of God dwells in you.

Speaker 1:

I'd like to spend well one of the last church services of 2024, reviewing the tenets of our salvation, laying the foundation of our faith that will absolutely keep you forever in the hollow of his hand, in a message entitled Did you Know? Amen. Let's pray, heavenly Father. Thank you, lord. Thank you for this truth, lord. Thank you for the anointing on not only me, but on your word mostly, lord, I ask you to open the ears of your congregation to hear and to receive not my words but your truth. It is in the name of your precious august, beloved, soon coming son. We pray Amen and amen, amen, please be seated. Amen and amen, amen, please be seated.

Speaker 1:

Our opening verse comes under a little bit of scrutiny from time to time because we hear that, well, the temple is in the individual from that verse, and that's true, you are the temple of God, the spirit of God dwelleth in you, or that the church is the body of Christ and not the local church that we use, that we say, we say and we're kind of told that it's wrong to call the church, the building or an individual assembly a house of God or even a tabernacle, because you individually, every one of us, are the temple of God. We are the place, the dwelling place of the Holy Spirit. And while it's absolutely true that there is no building made of brick, crystal, gold, stone sticks, it doesn't matter that has any sacred value to it whatsoever, that's absolutely true. The Bible clearly calls the local church the house of God. Nehemiah 13 says why is the house of God forsaken? Why have you forsaken the house of God? He wasn't talking about someone kicking out the Holy Spirit. In Psalms it says we are blessed in the house of the Lord. Proverbs 2 says be planted in the house of God. Malachi says bring your sacrifice into the house of God. So it's certainly the local church, his house.

Speaker 1:

The New Testament teaches that you and I, as born-again believers, we are living temples of the Holy Spirit. Maybe you say why is that important? And to answer that we have to look back to the great apostle Paul. Paul gives us his credentials in Philippians 3, that he was an Israelite, that he was, his words, a Hebrew of Hebrews. He was a Pharisee and a persecutor of the church. He was highly educated. He held dual citizenship, in Israel and Rome. He was multilingual. He was multicultural. He was an intellectual. He had every degree a religious zealot could have. Paul, intellectually had arrived. Amen, it's like our brother Bill Stewart says. He said I have so many degrees, they call me Fahrenheit. He was respected, he was feared. He was a man of position. But an event in his life changed him forever, changed him completely.

Speaker 1:

You all know the Damascus Road story. He met the risen, living Savior, jesus, the Christ, who opened the conversation with why are you persecuting me? I don't know Somebody you're trying to get on board with you. I don't know that. You opened that conversation with. What are you doing with? What are you doing.

Speaker 1:

He knocked him down maybe off of his horse, I would guess it was struck him blind and told this man of wealth and power and position again, told him what he would suffer for his namesake. I know you haven't chosen to follow me yet, but here's what I'm telling you up front. It's going to cause a whole lot of pain in your life. Again, to me, jesus used bad management skills. His HR skills were wanting. Maybe you don't tell a man who had everything how much he would lose, not if you want him to join you, not if you want him to follow you. It doesn't make human resource sense. Maybe you tell him how great he can be. You tell him the riches that were even more than he had, that he would get Unreal blessings that he would have. You tell him the wonderful life that would await him if he would just follow you, don't you? That's not what Jesus did. Jesus sent him to Straight Street, said brother, you need to see Ananias because you're going to need healed. You need to see Ananias because you're going to need healed. You need to see Ananias because you're going to need some prayer. You're going to go and see Ananias because you need the Holy Ghost.

Speaker 1:

Paul followed his instructions, not sure why, maybe because that's all he had Laying there in the mid-eastern sand, struck blind. All his friends abandoned him, as far as we know. But there on Straight Street, he had his heart changed. He had his name changed, and we later find out that he wrote more of the New Testament than anyone else, more than Peter, more than James, more than John, and he was given the very heart of the gospel, the very heart of the gospel. The enlightenment that he was given completely by the Holy Spirit is found mostly in the book of Romans, in where we find the foundation for being that sanctuary, that temple of the Holy Ghost. We find it's in the cross of Christ. It's in the cross that we have everywhere, in this sanctuary and outside, and that churches today are removing from their sanctuaries, from their marquees, everywhere, the cross of Christ.

Speaker 1:

But did you know that Paul wasn't accepted by everyone? He wasn't accepted by even many of the disciples. He wasn't accepted by many new Christians. History tells us that he was short, he was bald. They made fun of the way he looked. He looked that he had a huge crooked nose, that he had a hump on his back and a lazy eye. That's what history says about the Apostle Paul. And he had a thorn in the flesh that we never even find out what it is. He had another disability that we have no idea. He had another disability that we have no idea. We can certainly guess at it and I've heard all types of supposition as to what it was, but we don't know. He spent much of his ministry listen closely writing letters from prisons, from jails, from confinement, from shipwrecks. That was the great apostle Paul's primary ministry. He was spiritually where a whole lot of Christians are today, especially where we find ourselves after coming to Christ.

Speaker 1:

Some difficulties, some trials that maybe we were told would all go away the minute we said I will, the minute we said I'm saved, all those things would go away, we were told. And we're enduring some things that maybe you think a child of God shouldn't have to go through. Shouldn't we get a pass? Shouldn't there be an exemption? After all, we're following Christ. We're a servant of the Most High, hallelujah. I remember a preacher Some of you will remember him Mike Warnke, the Satan seller. But he fell off of a stage. He broke both of his ankles and his arm and he'd get up there and preach. Look at me. I'm a child of God. Look what the Lord has done for me, all bandaged up on crutches. But sometimes we think we should get an exemption from these things.

Speaker 1:

Some struggles that we're going through that just seem wrong, the healing that doesn't come in our time frame or in our way of thinking. See, we know what we need and we want to tell God how to do it, how to do it, how this should come to pass. The deliverance that teases you, you get free for a little while, but uh-oh, uh-oh, it raises its head again. Some misunderstandings regarding our position in Christ that cause you to lose some of our faith, some of our courage, some of our courage, some of our hope. I'm not sure exactly what the Lord's trying to teach me, but I wish I could learn it, and it may cause us to drift away. Drift back, not the whole way, drift back a little bit. Drift back, not the whole way. Drift back a little bit. Drift back to where we're living life the way we used to, which is why the Holy Spirit gave Paul and us the message of the cross. That's why the book of Romans, in his, in Paul's instruction in the book of Romans. That's why it's so important.

Speaker 1:

How many of you, when you had that supernatural experience of salvation, that rush of the unseen world that did come to you all at once, and if we're talking about the baptism in the Holy Ghost, when you finally acquiesce to the Spirit's leading, and that rush of supernatural power came on you without explanation, without hesitation, that rush of the unseen world, just like Paul, and you tasted the glory of the Lord and you said I've left that old life, I'm done with that, I'm not going back, I won't do that again. But a short time down the road you did. I'm not being mean, I'm just laying it out there. You didn't mean to, you felt terrible about it, you just you promised God you wouldn't do that again and you did. And you felt terrible about it, just like Paul, and you started to feel guilty. You started to feel that maybe you were a failure, that you let God down and you wept and you cried and you repented, but deep inside you felt God wasn't happy with you. Now you had this exhilarating, wonderful, powerful experience and over here you had some trouble, some failing, some issues, and now God just wasn't happy with you. That's probably how the Apostle Paul felt you. That's probably how the Apostle Paul felt. But did you know that?

Speaker 1:

Jesus, the Word, the Word and I told you about my epiphany, about the Word preaching the Word God gave him the message of the cross to overcome and to defeat sin. That's what the message of the cross is all about. That's why I get so upset about people removing the cross and not talking about the cross and some ministries calling it an instrument of torture and pain. And it is, but it's much more than that. And it is, but it's much more than that. In the prosperity movement today, they tell you the Kenneth Copelands and such tell you that Jesus died twice, that he died once physically at the cross and once spiritually in hell, where he endured pain and torture indescribable pain and torture undescribable. And if that could be true, if that could be true, then God, then God died. And the communist propaganda that says God is dead is true. God died it also. And they tell us that Jesus needed to be born again. And that's what happened in hell. But it also negates what he said at the cross. And what did Jesus say at the cross? That's so final. It is finished. He said it. He didn't say it will be finished when I get back, he said at the cross it is finished, all was accomplished Right here. Hallelujah, not in another struggle of evil after the cross. Satan lost his struggle at the cross. Hallelujah, not in another struggle of evil after the cross. Satan lost his struggle at the cross. Hallelujah, hallelujah.

Speaker 1:

Two readings in Romans and, brothers and sisters, this is life-changing. If you grasp this, it's life-changing. It's life-changing and I can't find it Romans 7. That's one of those ones, jeff, that I say oh, I can't forget that, I know Romans 7. I know it, it's everywhere. And then you get up here and say Romans, what? Romans 7 and 14. Jeff always asks me he's the first one here and he always asks me why are you looking up scriptures already? I know you're prepared, I know you got this. And I said I can't get up there and make a mistake and not have the scripture. I got to make sure that I have it, not in my head, that I know it. And Jeff says you're a complicated man. Romans 7 and 14.

Speaker 1:

For we know that the law is spiritual you listening, daniel, this is what you were talking about the other day. For we know that the law is spiritual, but I am carnal, sold under sin For that which I do, I allow not. But what I would, do I not. But what I would. That do I not. But what I hate, that do I not. But what I hate, that do I. If then I do that which I would not, I consent unto the law that it is good. Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. For I know that in me, that is in my flesh dwelleth. No good thing that is in my flesh dwelleth. No good thing For to will is present with me. But how to perform that which is good, I find not In these two readings, and we'll get to the other one in just a second.

Speaker 1:

But the first is Paul lamenting his position, where he finds himself that he knows the law backward and forward, and he still finds that he is failing on some level, even though God has anointed him. And that's the. You know, we watched the movie Wednesday night, jesus Revolution, and everyone kind of had this bad picture of Lonnie Frisbee. And you know, yeah, he struggled with some things but he was mightily used of God. Like we can't put that aside and say, yeah, but you know what he did, he was mightily used of God. Maybe he didn't fully understand the word here and how to implement it and how to do it. Or maybe he was even kept from it by a religious order that wouldn't allow the Holy Spirit to fully envelop what was happening. I don't know, I wasn't there. Envelop what was happening, I don't know, I wasn't there. But you know, beating up Lonnie is not. He was used of God.

Speaker 1:

But the second reading is Jesus's solution. First one is Paul saying look, I don't know why I'm doing all these things. I you know, I don't know why I'm struggling. God's using me. All these things happen, filled with the Holy Ghost. And why am I struggling?

Speaker 1:

Verse 14. Verse 14. For we know that the law is spiritual, but I am carnal, sold under sin. The law is from God. Daniel articulated this so wonderfully the last time he preached Born into sin, adam. So I can't, and no one can keep the law. It wasn't there to be kept, couldn't be kept. It was there to reveal our sin.

Speaker 1:

Verse 15. For that which I do, I allow, not For what I would, that do I not. But what I hate, that do I. I don't understand why I fail. Paul's saying I want to be completely obedient. I want to be faithful in my marriage to Christ. I'm trying to be holy. Ah, there we go. It minimizes the work of the Holy Spirit. I'm trying to be holy, I'm trying to abstain, I'm trying not to, I'm trying to use the right vocabulary, I'm trying really hard. Minimizing the Holy Spirit listen very carefully. Minimizing the Holy Spirit, listen very carefully, minimizing the Holy Spirit's role in our life absolutely guarantees failure. It guarantees failure.

Speaker 1:

16. If, then, I do that, which I would not, I consent unto the law that it is good Now, then it is no more I that do it, but the sin that dwelleth in me. He's starting to come to the understanding what's happening here. The sin nature will prevail. The sin nature will prevail in a man, even a saved man, if it's not addressed. Look, no Christian wants to sin, right. No Christian desires to live a sinful lifestyle or to cross certain boundaries that we shouldn't, and we will stumble because the Holy Spirit isn't ruling in our lives. And now the solution? There's the problem. Jesus clearly, paul clearly identified it through the Holy Spirit. The problem, here's the solution.

Speaker 1:

Romans 6. Verse 5. For if we had been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall also be in the likeness of his resurrection, knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin, for he that is dead is freed from sin. Now, if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him, knowing that Christ, being raised from the dead, dieth no more death hath no more dominion over him, for in that he died. He died unto sin once, but in that he liveth. He liveth unto God, but in that he liveth unto God. Likewise, reckon ye also yourselves to be dead, indeed, unto sin, but alive unto God, through Jesus Christ, our Lord, hallelujah, amen.

Speaker 1:

I'll read 12 through 14, whenever you get the opportunity, the next five verses, four verses Back in Philippians, where the Apostle Paul lists his credentials, his background, the things that he thought were worthwhile. He says he threw away All the degrees that he had stacked up, all the important things that he had studied, that he had understood, the positions he held. In fact, he listen, he called them poop. That's what he called them, all the things that he has stacked up over his long and storied career. He calls poop and he says letting go of that religious junk. That religious junk was the only way to really know Christ. Wow, letting go all that religion that we carry around with us like rocks in a sack, all that religion that we fall back into, that we acquiesce to it, is as though they lost something in the transaction. And isn't that what you were talking about, colette? And isn't that what you were talking about, colette? We gain salvation, but I lost the prestige, I lost the adoration, I lost the position. But really knowing him is of so much greater value, so much greater value, so much greater value, so much overwhelming gain to any status that this world can give, any status that the stage or the books we write can give, or are the books we write can give.

Speaker 1:

How many of you know and this is a statistic that I carry around with me 41% of mainline preachers literally don't believe the Bible. Is true, 41% mainline, 41% mainline. I'm talking Baptist, methodist, episcopalian, all the known denominations. And some of those leaders are well-versed in the Bible. They know it well, they know it through and through, but they don't know Jesus. They don't know Jesus.

Speaker 1:

There are people that never miss a church service but don't know Jesus. Do you know that? Some who give finance and tithes in huge amounts, but they don't know Jesus. Amounts, but they don't know Jesus. Some know all the doctrines of the church but have no knowledge of him. None, how can that be? Go back to 1 Corinthians, 1 Corinthians, 2. 2 and 14.

Speaker 1:

But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness unto him. Neither can he know them, for they are foolishness unto him. Neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. In other words, knowing Jesus comes by the Holy Spirit. Knowing Jesus intimately comes by the Holy Ghost. Knowing his mind, his will, his love, his compassion, his plan, his purpose, his grace. Knowing that comes by the Holy Spirit. They are.

Speaker 1:

Those things are not known to people who simply know of Him. It's easy to know of Him. It's not so easy to really know him. You see, that can't be really knowing Jesus, can't be taught and it can't be caught. Those things are only attainable to those that seek him with all our hearts. Those that seek him with all our hearts, that set aside the things of this world to hear what he desires, those that seek him and focus on his cross as full payment of our sin, full payment. Nothing left to do, nothing left that we have to pay. It's all been paid, paid in full. And when you're filled with the Holy Spirit, when we're baptized in the Holy Spirit, he will change your life. He will turn your world upside down. And if that's not happening for some of you I don't mean to be brusque, or well, maybe I do. If that's not happening, maybe you don't know them as you should Everything we receive, every bit of favor of guidance, every bit of strength and wisdom, patience and perseverance, every victory, every healing, comes from the Godhead through the agency of the Holy Ghost.

Speaker 1:

And he hasn't taken up residence within you, the temple, to entertain you. He hasn't moved in to entertain you or to give you tongues occasionally that's not his purpose or to show your Pentecost who you are and what we believe. When we yield to the Holy Ghost, when you give him control, control he'll lead you and guide you away from sin, even things that maybe you don't think are sinful. Well, yeah, but that's the government. What are you going to Are sinful? Well, yeah, but that's the government. What are you going to?

Speaker 1:

He will not be content to allow you to fall into the old ways. He will not be happy. He'll point out when you start to fall into that old trap that you had. He'll move you in the right direction. He'll minister to you. That's his purpose. That's why he came. He'll minister to us. He'll fight to you. That's his purpose. That's why he came. He'll minister to us. He'll fight our battles. He'll lead us. Call that in high worship. Do you know? A spirit-led person is considered righteous. It's considered righteous by the Father because the Holy Spirit is guiding you in the right direction. Doesn't mean we won't fail. Doesn't mean we won't have problems, but you're counted righteous by the Father because the Holy Spirit's leading you. My, my, you're in the right direction.

Speaker 1:

When we're spirit-filled, when we're spirit filled, when we're spirit led, there aren't a lot of moral decisions I have to make, really aren't. Should I steal that? I don't have to make that decision. I got two of these. Should I take one back? Duh, yeah, that's not an issue. Well, I could get this on my taxes and save a whole lot of money if I would. Just Should I. I'll get a little more. Should I have an affair? Not a decision I have to make. Not oh yeah, but she's really pretty. Not something that I have to make. Not oh yeah, but she's really pretty. Not something that I have to think about. Should I allow drugs and alcohol in my home? Not something that I have to think about, not a decision to make. Well, the holidays are coming, we should have. I think I might just go out for New Year's and get really hammered Not something I have to consider Over.

Speaker 1:

In Galatians it says walk in the Spirit and you will. What you will not fulfill the lust of the flesh. That isn't a suggestion or hey, if you try really hard. It says walk in the spirit, you won't. Walk in the spirit, you won't. It doesn't say if you conquer your flesh, if you get on top of this, if you avoid no, it doesn't say that. It says if you walk in the spirit, you won't. Brothers and sisters, that's grace, that's pure grace. When you're spirit-led, you do what's right and you leave the results to God. Leave the results to him, knowing it'll be okay. Oh, there'll be times of testing. I'm not lying to you. There will be times of testing.

Speaker 1:

But when we worship, instead of worry, the Holy Spirit makes the change. When we worship, instead of oh, how am I going, the Holy Spirit intervenes. The Holy Spirit makes the change. And instead of feeling bad, or rebuking and binding and loosing. We'll see a positive and a righteous change. Did you know? We'll continually be changed and transformed. And again there's teaching that goes we got it all when we were saved. That's so dumb Because I don't know about you. When I was first saved, I did a whole lot of stupid things. Indeed, we'll continually be changed and transformed, and that'll go on forever. That'll go on until we meet Jesus, closer and closer, changed into the image of God, every day for the rest of your life. That's going to happen, and that's all, by and through the Holy Ghost.

Speaker 1:

Did you know? Did you know that, sam? Did you know that God doesn't love you any more in church than when you were a lost sinner? Going to hell Doesn't love you. You're not an Iota more today. He can't because he gave you all his love. He can't.

Speaker 1:

Did you know that? What little faith that we sometimes feel that we have, that we don't have the faith required, or the faith to move mountains, or the faith to institute healings, whatever faith you have left, puts you in motion to finish your course. That faith, that mustard seed of faith that you may have, puts you in motion to finish the course and complete our walk, whatever that might be, whatever he may have put you in motion to finish the course and complete our walk, whatever that might be, whatever he may have? Did you know that God has plans, chrissy, to bless you and not harm you, hallelujah. Do you know that you're the head, you're not the tail? Do you know that your God runs to meet you as you return home, even when you stray just a little bit Glory? Do you know that there's a day coming where mourning is turned to dancing Glory, that tears are brushed away where the righteous shall reign? That, whatever the enemy meant for evil, god meant for good, to save many people alive.

Speaker 1:

Don't get too concerned with what's happening or what's going on in the world, because God's going to turn it around. Do you know that your best times are in front of you? That's our destiny. When our faith meets God's plan, that's destiny. That's what destiny. When our faith meets God's plan, that's destiny. That's what destiny really means. When our faith meets God's plan for us, when we're willing to receive, that's our walk. That's our future. Did you know the greater is he that is in you than he that is in the world? Did you know that our relationship with Jesus Christ is more valuable than silver or gold? Did you know that soon, and very soon, on a bright and cloudless morning, all the dead in Christ will rise? Cloudless morning, all the dead in Christ will rise. Did you know that heaven is a place that God has prepared and is preparing for us? And I'll leave you with this, my favorite non-verse Eternity is a long, long time. Don't waste what God has given you here, because eternity lasts a while. Amen. Thank you so much for listening.

Speaker 2:

Go tell it on the mountain that Jesus Christ is born. Sing it again. Go tell it on the mountain, over the hills and everywhere. Go tell it on the mountain that Jesus Christ is born. Oh, let's sing it again. We glorify your name, jesus. Yes, lord, go tell it on the mountain, over the hills and everywhere. Go tell it on the mountain that Jesus Christ is born. Sing it again.
