["Pomp and Circumstance"]
And Lord, thank you for the fact that this conference is a testament to the fact
that not every knee has vowed to bail.
And there are people who want the truth, who want hard preaching,
who want to reject all the garbage being put down our throat
by the world, by the devil, by the media.
Lord, I pray you'd meet with us tonight.
I pray that your Holy Spirit would fill Pastor Anderson as he preaches to us.
In Jesus' name we pray. Amen.
Amen.
Turn to song 227.
Song number 227.
Saved by the Blood, 227.
Let's sing it out on the first.
Saved by the blood of the crucified blood,
The ransom from sin and a new birth begun.
Sing praise to the Father and praise to the Son.
Saved by the blood of the crucified blood,
Glory I'm saved! Glory I'm saved!
My sins are all part in my gift.
He's all God.
Glory I'm saved! Glory I'm saved!
I'm saved by the blood of the crucified blood.
Alright, so I need a little help on that chorus.
You know I sing it a little differently.
So follow my lead and let's sing it out on the second.
Saved by the blood of the crucified blood,
When angels rejoicing because it is thine,
O child of the Father, join there with the Son.
Saved by the blood of the crucified blood,
Glory I'm saved! Glory I'm saved!
My sins are all part in my gift.
He's all God.
Glory I'm saved! Glory I'm saved!
I'm saved by the blood of the crucified blood.
If there's somebody in here not singing, I don't know what's wrong with you.
Well, let's sing it out on the third.
Saved by the blood of the crucified blood,
The Father he saved and his will it was done,
Great Christ who I'm one and his own Christ's Son.
Saved by the blood of the crucified blood,
Glory I'm saved! Glory I'm saved!
My sins are all part in my gift.
He's all God.
Glory I'm saved! Glory I'm saved!
I'm saved by the blood of the crucified blood.
We've got one more verse. Amen. Let's sing it out on the last.
Saved by the blood of the crucified blood,
All hail to the Father! All hail to the Son!
All hail to the Spirit, the Great Three in One!
Saved by the blood of the crucified blood,
Glory I'm saved! Glory I'm saved!
My sins are all part in my gift. He's all God.
Glory I'm saved! Glory I'm saved!
I'm saved by the blood of the crucified blood.
Amen. Good singing.
Alright, well let's go and take our bulletins.
We'll look at some announcements real quickly.
If you do not have a bulletin, raise your hand.
Do we have bulletins to hand out?
If you need a bulletin, raise your hand.
And our ushers will get in here and get you some bulletins.
Do we have some bulletins? We're out of bulletins.
Alright, never mind. Just kidding.
We don't have, we're out of bulletins.
So hopefully you have somebody sitting next to you you can share with.
If you open up your bulletin, you'll see our schedule there.
Of course, we hope you had a good day today.
We had some great sermons this morning.
And we had the soul winning teen activity, singles activity.
And as far as I know, all of that went well.
We're glad you're here for the evening service.
Want to just remind you of some things coming up.
We have the ping pong tournament tomorrow at 3 p.m.
Saturday at 3 p.m.
What we're going to be doing, for those of you that are signed up,
the tournament's going to take place in the fellowship hall.
However, there's going to probably be too many people
to be able to have the games in there and everybody watching.
So what we're going to do is we're going to have the tournament
that's in the fellowship hall live streamed on a big screen in here.
Now hopefully there won't be this many people for it.
But we're going to have mostly everybody in the auditorium
watching the games on the big screen here.
And as different players are called to play,
they'll be able to go into the fellowship hall to play.
And then when your church is playing,
so if it's a variety player or a sure foundation player or whatever,
especially with the kids, the parents can go in there,
the family can go in there and watch them play live,
or the fans can go in there and watch them play.
But when your church is not playing or somebody that you don't know isn't playing,
we want you to come back out here and watch it on the big screen
that we'll have set up to try to make sure we've got room for everybody.
So that's tomorrow at 3 p.m. here at the church building.
Make sure you don't forget about that.
And then of course soul winning tomorrow morning, 9.30 a.m.
And one of the things that makes our conferences different
than any other conference I've ever heard of,
I'm not saying this conference, I'm saying the new IFB when we put on conferences,
one thing that's different than old IFB or any other conference
is that we go out soul winning.
We go out knocking doors, preaching the gospel,
and we want you to be here tomorrow morning, 9.30 a.m.,
and we're going to have a great time of soul winning in the morning.
And then of course on Sunday morning, if you're sticking through the weekend,
we'd love for you to stay.
I'll be preaching on Sunday morning.
That'll be my sermon for the Red Hot Preaching Conference.
And on Sunday night, we're having men's preaching night
or men's popcorn preaching at 6 p.m.
And all the men of the conference are welcome to sign up on the communication card.
If you're planning on preaching on Sunday night, you must sign up by tonight.
You have to fill this out and sign up by tonight, no exceptions.
Make sure you give us your name and give us your sermon topic.
If you don't give us a sermon topic, we're not going to put you in, all right?
So make sure you do that.
We've got some rules there for you.
You must sign up on the communication card by Friday evening.
That's tonight.
You must submit a topic on the communication card.
You must wear a shirt and tie.
You must use the King James Bible.
You must stay within your time.
And the number of preachers will be limited and selected by a random draw.
And on Sunday night after the service, we're going to have Baskin-Robbins ice cream in our fellowship hall.
So we want to encourage you with that and let you know about that.
You should have one of these flyers in your bulletin.
And in the spring, we're putting on a youth rally for the teenagers
at the Verity Baptist Church Spring Break Youth Rally, April 26th through the 27th.
We'll have food games and activities, preaching gear towards the teens, ages 13 to 19 are welcome.
Younger siblings, welcome to attend.
Teens 17 and under must be accompanied by an adult.
You can register at veritybaptist.com.
Make sure you do that.
And please stop by the foyer.
We've got resources back there for you.
Let me just quickly give you some information.
Of course, we've got our Being Baptist documentary out there.
Everything out there is free, all right?
So you can grab it all for free as much as you'd like.
We have the Being Baptist documentary back there.
We have the Psychopath Reprobates documentary back there.
We've got the Sodomite Deception documentary back there.
Pastor Shelley was kind enough to bring I think about 200 of these when he first got here.
I'm not sure how many we have left, but we've got those back there as well.
And then Pastor Thompson has some things for people as well.
He's been giving these out already.
These bags are for the ladies.
All right, guys, these are for the ladies.
This is the last one.
It's going to the highest bidder.
This one's for my wife, actually, so forget it.
Saved Lives Matter and Nevermind.
Just like our bulletins.
And then we've got these shirts.
We still got shirts?
We still got shirts for the men, right?
These are shirts.
Saved Lives Matter.
Pastor Jones is going to say it doesn't fit.
I'm your friend.
Saved Lives Matter.
Go Soul Winning.
T-shirts.
We're giving these out to the men, so make sure you see Pastor Thompson.
If he tries to charge you for them, make sure you see me and let me know.
And I think that's it for all of the announcements.
I'm trying to think if there's anything else I'm supposed to be announcing.
Don't forget that we have Mother Baby Rooms.
If you have a child that's been distracted during the service, if you need some privacy, we've got them throughout the building.
If you're not sure where they're at, make sure you look at the back of the bulletin.
You'll see a layout of our church building.
I'll show you where our restrooms are, where the Mother Baby Rooms are, where the daddy rooms are.
All of the rooms have comfortable seating.
They have monitor set up so you can watch the service and listen to it.
Please help us.
No unattended children or teens before, during, or after the service in the Mother Baby Rooms.
And just help us with the kids running and rough housing.
Obviously, there's a lot of people in this room, so we appreciate you being here.
And tonight we have Pastor Anderson preaching for us.
I understand that he doesn't need an introduction, but he's a dear friend.
And I know he means a lot to, I'm sure everybody in this room has been influenced by Pastor Anderson.
And I just want to say thank you for your friendship.
Thank you to your family for who you are.
And you're in for a treat tonight.
So praise the Lord for that.
We're going to go ahead and sing the chorus of the week.
It should be an insert in your bulletin.
We're going to sing the Friday evening song sheet,
Rejoice in the Lord, as we prepare to receive the offering.
And then we'll have the reading of the text after the offering.
Rejoice in the Lord, sing it out on the first.
God never moves without purpose or plan
And trying, serving, and holding a man
Give thanks to the Lord, for your testing seems long
If our gifts be given thus long
Rejoice in the Lord, he makes no mistake
We know in the end I'll be sad, but I take
For when I am tried and glorified
I shall come forth as Lord
Good, sing it out on the second.
I could not see through the shadows ahead
So I look at the cross of my Savior instead
I bow to the will of the Master that gave
Let this day that is led of day
Rejoice in the Lord, he makes no mistake
We know in the end I'll be sad, but I take
For when I am tried and glorified
I shall come forth as Lord
Now I can see, vastly honest, from above
God's strength, useful, foolish, and precious in love
My Father knows best, and I trust in his care
Through merging and through God will bear
Rejoice in the Lord, he makes no mistake
We know in the end I'll be sad, but I take
For when I am tried and glorified
I shall come forth as Lord
Amen, good singing, we'll have the ushers come up
and help us with the offering at this time
And we hope you're excited, we hope you've had a good time
while you've been here
And obviously you put this many bodies in a church building
it's going to be warm
So I hope that's okay
I was told that Pastor Anderson only had a church with 60 people in it
So I wasn't expecting
Our church had 30 people in it, so I wasn't expecting this
We're glad you're here
That's why our heads never were to pray
Heavenly Father, Lord, we do thank you for allowing us to gather together
We pray that you bless the gift and the giver tonight
And we ask that you fill Pastor Anderson with your spirit, Lord, as he preaches to us
In Jesus' name we pray, amen
We pray that you fill Pastor Anderson with your spirit, Lord, as he preaches to us
In Jesus' name we pray, amen
