What he preaches and help us to grow there by we pray these things in Jesus name. Amen. Amen
Look at verse 15 the Bible reads
But not as the offense so also is the free gift for through the offense of one many be dead
Much more the grace of God and the gift by grace
Which is by one man Jesus Christ had the bounded unto many and what I want to do this morning is I want to
Focus on Romans chapter 5 for a moment, but also
Talk about this one concept that we have here where we see the impact of one person
and the title of the sermon this morning is the impact of one person the impact of one person and we see that
through Adams
transgression we all have to experience the
Consequences of sin we have to experience the consequences of death
But we also reap the benefits of that one person the Lord Jesus Christ and what he's done for us
Go back to verse 6 the Bible says for when we were yet without strength in due time
Christ died for the ungodly the Bible makes it clear that we have no strength to save ourselves
There's nothing in ourselves that could ever get us to heaven. We are a completely without strength
We don't have that possibility and when it says in due time
If there was to define the word do in the dictionary it says expected at or plan for a certain time
When we think of you know, a pretty common phrase the due date, right?
What do we what are we referring to? We're saying hey at some point in future a baby is going to be delivered
You know, it happens. Okay
Women don't stay eternally pregnant, you know, praise God, you know, the Mormon Church wants that to happen
But you know something's gonna happen and we see that Jesus Christ, you know in God's perfect plan
He didn't come at the very beginning. There was a due date wasn't there?
There was a time at which
Christ was going to enter into the world and he was gonna fulfill all of the scriptures about himself
He was going to die in the cross
And so, you know, even though people in the Old Testament were looking to the cross and we look back to the cross
It's God's divine plan that in due time Christ would die for the ungodly
Look at verse number seven for scarcely for a righteous man will one die yet peradventure for a good man
Some would even dare to die, but God committed his love toward us in that while we're yet sinners
Christ died for us. So the beauty of the gospel is the fact that as
Mankind some of us can be pretty
Loving compassionate we could even consider ourselves of laying down a life for a brethren or laying our life down for somebody
For a noble cause
Oftentimes, you know, this is in pictured through the military, you know military people are willing to lay down their lives for the country
They're willing to lay down their lives for their leadership or you know, perhaps maybe you have a Secret Service detail
You know
They're trained to be able to lay down their life or whoever they're guarding perhaps the president or the president's family or something
And it's under the guise of a good person. Obviously, it's hard for us to imagine that about our president
But I'm just saying obviously, you know, the thought is that hey, I there's a good man here
This person's more important than me. So I would lay down my life for them
But that's how Christ looked at the world Christ actually says hey even while we were sinners
Christ died for us even though we were ungodly even though we didn't deserve it. That's why it's called grace. I
Didn't deserve to go to heaven
I didn't deserve for Christ to die on the cross for my sins and to plate my place and go down to hell
So we notice the beauty of the gospel is the fact that Christ not only loves people that are good
He loves the bad who he loves the ungodly because the reality is there's none good
No, not one so he didn't die for any good people. He died for all bad people
Look at verse 9 much more than being now justified by his blood
We shall be saved from wrath through him for if when we were enemies
We are reconciled to God by the death of his son much more being reconciled
We shall be saved by his life and not only so we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ
By whom we have now received the atonement
Wherefore as by one man sin entered into the world and death by sin
And so death passed upon all men for that all have sinned now
Verse 12 is a pretty important verse because he's introducing the fact that sin entered in the world through Adam
But we also are all sinners like him, you know, some people that teach a doctrine that you're born a sinner
That's not what the Bible teaches
The Bible doesn't teach that you were you born as a sinner in the sense that you've already sinned now
Obviously we have a sin nature because our flesh
Prophets nothing because our flesh, you know, is it in the deep with God and
For all of sin it comes short of the glory of God, but the reality is no one's gonna go to hell having never sinned
We all sinned for all of sin and control the glory of God
Okay
That's why also people can see pictures of David's child that baby when it died
It went to heaven because that baby didn't sin that baby doesn't even know its left hand from its right hand
It doesn't even know what's going on
So obviously there comes a point in which you understand law you understand the commandment you have that
understanding and once you start violating God's Word you become dead spiritually where the Bible teaches and
Because we've all sinned we need a Savior now
The title of the sermon is the impact of one person we could go on a long
dissertation of the impact of sin and the impact of of the negative consequences
But I really want to focus the morning sermon on the positive aspect if you want the negative aspect you have to come back tonight
all right
But look at verse number 13 front till the law sin was in the world
But sin is not imputed when there is no law nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses even
Over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam's transgression who is the figure of him that was to come
so
Even though we may not have sinned in the exact same way that Adam sinned we all are guilty
We've all sinned in some way, and this is where people get this weird idea that all sin is equal
That's not true. There are greater sins. There's lesser sins, but at the end of the day
We've all sinned okay, and because we sin we all receive punishment
And that punishment is a physical death and Adam was a figure of him that was to come
Why is he a figure because he's the only other person mentioned in the Bible as being the Son of God
He truly is a picture of the one that was going to come of what you know Christ is going to be
But the verse was earthly the second is spiritually
He's the Lord from heaven is what the Bible says and it says in verse number 15
But not as the offense so also is the free gift for if through the offense of one
Many be dead much more the grace of God and a gift by grace
Which is by one man Jesus Christ at the bound of many so he's saying
in the same way that
Because one person sin we all sin is the same fact that because of one man's righteousness many people can be
Righteous, okay
it says in verse number 16 and not as it was by one that sinned so as the gift for the
Judgment was by one to condemnation
But the free gift is of many offenses unto justification for if by one man's offense death reigned by one much more
They which receive abundance of grace and the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one Jesus Christ
Therefore as by the offense of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation
Even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life for as by one man's
Disobedience many were made sinners so by the obedience of one
Shall many he made righteous now. I love this phrase
Verse number 19 says so by the obedience of
one
Shall many be made righteous notice. It doesn't say by the obedience of everybody we become righteous
No by the obedience of one. I'm not obedient
I'm not gonna get to heaven based on anything that I did based on any of my obedience
My fulfillment of the law no is by the obedience of one that I was made righteous and it wasn't me
It was Jesus Christ that I get to go to heaven
He was obedient. Look at the impact of one person
I mean how many people have existed in all time and how many offenses is that and
All of them were wiped clean by the obedience of one
by one person the impact of one person and
There's no way to deny the impact of Jesus Christ
He is the most well-known person on this planet period all nations know who Jesus Christ is
You can't go to a place on this planet that doesn't talk about Jesus Christ
Now obviously depending on what country depending on what culture that you grew up in
You might have a different view of who Jesus Christ is
But the fact is he's the most well-known person the most written about the most sung about
The most popular when it comes to written literature. I mean the King James Bible is the most popular book on the planet
That excludes all the modern versions even I mean if you add every type of Bible you had all the different
Information and literature and everything. Look our calendar is based on Jesus Christ
You can't escape Jesus Christ. That's why it's so insane when people tell me what about all these people ever heard of Jesus Christ
I'm like, where do they live?
Are they trapped in your basement and you're withholding information? I mean, where are these people?
There's always the proverbial guy in Africa, right?
Even though there's more Baptist
There's more missionaries and there's more Christians going over there every second to constantly evangelize
I mean, it's not like they don't know who Jesus is over there. Okay, go to Africa. They know about religion now
There's a lot of false religion over there mind you
Okay
And I'm not saying that in parts of the country or parts of the world that there isn't a great need for the gospel
Don't hear me wrong. What I am saying though is that they've at least heard the name
They've heard Jesus Christ maybe in their language or whatever and
Even tribes that are in Africa that are very isolated
Many times missionaries are getting to them and giving them the gospel and if there is hypothetically a person out there
That doesn't you know know of Jesus Christ then it guess what?
It's our job to go tell that person and then as soon as you do that person doesn't exist anymore again
I mean, I don't know where this person is. That's never heard of Jesus. You go to India
They know who Jesus is you go to Russia they know Jesus is it doesn't matter what country now obviously
to some extent some people have more or less knowledge and it's not necessarily fair in a
Context of some people are raised in the atheist home. Some people are raised in an independent fundamental Baptist home
That's a pretty big difference. Okay, but at the end of the day, there's no excuse
You know God's obvious for the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen
Being understood by the things that are made even as eternal power and Godhead so they without excuse is what the Bible says
You can't look at this world and think uh, it just happened
The fool has said in his heart. There is no God
Okay, and if you get yourself out of America, you realize atheism is even more dumb
People that live in these poor countries and nations. They're not thinking the atheism. They just have a false God
Okay, or they have a false view, you know atheism is for people that you know
Play video games and just watch internet YouTube videos and are just full of themselves. Okay full of pride and arrogance
But I want to focus on this fact that Christ made such an impact as a singular person
Okay
Go go to John chapter number 11 John chapter number 11
The Bible says for there is one God and one mediator between God and men the man Christ Jesus
So a reconciled by Jesus Christ we have a mediator to God that's still by one man and
It wasn't a multitude of people that God needed to reconcile
He just needed the one and that was God in the flesh the Son of God the Lord Jesus Christ
Who came down and he was perfect and he was the perfect spotless lamb and you know
That's why we celebrate Christmas
We want to celebrate the birth of our Savior the one who came down here put on flesh very humbling experience
For the Lord Jesus Christ, we don't think of it that way necessarily all the time
but for the God of the universe to humble himself and become a man and
be you know limited in the same ways that we're limited and have to go through pain and suffering and
And shame and people ridiculing him and knowing what was at the end of that road
I mean that was a pretty humbling thing for him to do and he did it for people that were sinners
For the ungodly for the unrighteous for you and me all the things that we've done against him
That's what grace means. Okay. I want you to learn what grace is. All right, John chapter 11 look at verse 45
Then many of the Jews which came to Mary and had seen the things which Jesus did believed on him
But some of them went their ways to the Pharisees and told them what things Jesus had done
Then gathered the chief priests and the Pharisees a council and said
What do we for this man do with many miracles if we let him thus alone?
All men will believe on him and the Romans shall come and take away both our place and nation now
The Pharisees figured this out. They're saying this guy by himself is so impactful
He's making such a difference that if we don't stop it if we don't try to hinder him
Everybody's gonna believe in this guy
Everybody's gonna believe the gospel. Everybody's gonna trust in him notice
They thought that the gospel was effective
Isn't it interesting that the enemies of the Lord Jesus Christ think the gospel is effective then why don't Christians believe that today?
Why don't Christians actually believe that God's Word is gonna make an impact is gonna do a big thing for God
I believe it, you know, I don't want this stupid small church mentality of nobody wants to hear it
Nobody likes it. Look we need to go out and Thunder forth the truth because the truth is attractive my friend
The Gospels attractive a lot of people believe the gospel when we go out
Look if I get the opportunity to actually sit down and explain the gospel to people more often than not they believe it
The hardest part is not them believing the gospel
It's more to getting an opportunity to present the gospel more than anything
Why because the gospel is attractive the gospel is good news. The gospel is a free gift and it's very impactful
That's why we want to go into all the world and preach the gospel every creature when you go to a foreign nation
You'll see how impactful the gospel is when you get away from all the deceitfulness of riches and the luxury and the apathy
of America you realize man people believe the gospel today and you know when the
Apostles they left Jerusalem banging their head against the wall. They're like, wow, the Gentiles believe the gospel
This thing's really working. They're building big churches great movements are being made and you know
What maybe America may not have the same revival as a foreign nation. Why just want to go where there's gonna be a great revival
How about we go to the Bahamas and see what happens and we go to foreign nations and see how impactful the gospel
can be
Look at verse 49 and one of them named Caiaphas
Being the high priest that same year said unto them, you know nothing at all nor consider that is expedient for us
That one man should die for the people and that the whole nation perish not
Again, the impact of what one person now go to 1st Corinthians chapter 12 1st Corinthians chapter 12
We could preach the whole sermon about Jesus and that sounds great
But I want to make a practical application this morning because you're sitting here thinking well, of course Jesus made an impact
The Son of God the guy that created the heavens and the earth
The guy that's you know, the alpha and the Omega, of course, he made an impact, you know
You can make an impact to it
Don't don't devalue yourself, you know, you say oh Christ made an impact. Well, you know what you're the body of Christ
You're impactful and you know what it'd be great
If people would realize the impact of one person and the impact that they can make in this world and in this life
Look at 1st Corinthians 12 verse 4
There are diversities of gifts, but the same spirit and there are differences of administrations
But the same Lord and there are diversities of operations
but it is the same God which worketh all in all but the
Manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit with all
For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom to another the word of knowledge
By the same spirit to another faith by the same spirit to another the gifts of healing by the same spirit to another the working
Of miracles to another prophecy to another discerning of spirits to another divers kinds of tongues
To another the interpretation of tongues, but all these work at that one in self Spain spirit
Dividing to every man severally as he will now in 1st Corinthians chapter 12
He's bringing up the fact that when it comes to the church there is going to be a diversity of
giftings meaning that not any two people are going to be the exact same we're all going to have different abilities
different skill sets and even back different gifts from God
different ways to accomplish
God's mission the mission of the Lord Jesus Christ
the body of the church and
We have you know right here in verse number eight some different things the spirit the word of wisdom
Some people in this room are going to be gifted where there's a difficult situation
Or somebody's needing some kind of advice and someone's going to be able to give them a word of wisdom
That's a spiritual gifting
That's a spiritual gifting for the Holy Ghost to come inside your heart and to reveal scripture unto you
That's going to be very words of wisdom for a person. We need wisdom today
There's so many decisions that we have to constantly make and things that we have to do and some people are gonna be gifted with
The ability to give somebody great wisdom from the Word of God words fitly spoken. Okay, they're like apples and pictures of silver
Okay, but it says in verse number eight also the word knowledge, you know, some people are just me very knowledgeable about things
Not only they're gonna have great wisdom, you know, you ask them a question. Hey, I know about that or hey
Let me give you some information about that and obviously the Bible's the preeminence
But there's also gonna be a lot of people in this room that have all kinds of knowledge from their life
experience that can benefit other people
You know the older generation being able to teach the younger generation
Hey how to parent how to raise teenagers how to you know, teach your kids how to drive a car that sounds intimidating
Okay, you know all kinds of different life experiences how to handle yourself in the workplace, you know different life
Circumstances how to breastfeed how to give birth how to handle a wife that just gave birth
I mean all these different things that are life
Experiences that people are gonna have knowledge and they can use the Bible and they can help people look
It's not just a one-man show here. We're the body of Christ and everybody has value
Everybody has importance. Some people are gonna be blessed with other areas of knowledge foreign language all kinds of different things
It says in verse 10 diverse kinds of tongues, you know
Our church is blessed with a lot of people who speak multiple languages and we ought to look at that as gift
You got to realize the gift that you have God gave you a gift, you know, most people, you know
I have to work pretty hard at learning Spanish, but there's a lot of people in this room
They speak Spanish English and they didn't even work that hard for it
It was a gift by their family because they were raised in a bilingual home and you got to realize that was a great
Gift that God gave you. Well, here's my question. What are you gonna do with it?
You know, maybe you're married to somebody that speaks a foreign language
That's a gift because you know it can do you can say hey wife don't talk to me in English
Or you can say hey husband
Don't talk to me in English and you start learning each other's language and you have that free gift
You can start growing and learning and getting all these wonderful things
Look, if my wife spoke, you know a foreign language, I would try to learn it
And if my if I spoke a special language, you know that my wife doesn't I try to help her learn it
Why cuz that's even more intimacy between you and your spouse
That sounds great. It'd be great. Sometimes if we could talk in a foreign language and our kids didn't know
It'd be wonderful. Okay, so there's lots of benefit. Okay
It also says the interpretation of tongues, you know, some people have a great gift where they can be an interpreter in certain situations
You know maybe at a door or maybe you're going out soul-winning and there's gonna be a lot of
Opportunities you use the gifts that you have if you're serving God and the reality is you know
Every single person can make a great impact with the giftings that God has given you look at verse 12
whereas the body is one and
As many members and all the members of that one body being many are one body
So also is Christ notice Christ
He reconciled us to God by one body and you know what we're now the body of Christ on this earth
Jesus Christ is seated at the right hand of God the Father. So he allows the body of Christ to be us
You know, we need somebody to play the piano. It's great. We need someone to play the trumpet
We need someone to play
You know the guitar or the violin or whatever other instrument you can play. That's really great that I don't know about yet
We need people to use like God gave you giftings. God gave you the ability to do things warm
Why would you not use it? I
Mean some people are great at singing. They're great at playing an instrument. They're great at doing these things
Why would God give you such great vocal cords and such an ability to play an instrument and you have the book of Psalms?
Which is just a constant, you know
Concert to the Lord Jesus Christ and to God the Father and he wouldn't want you to use that
God is look you need to look at yourself as God's given me everything I had for a reason
God didn't make you on accident. God didn't give you the gifts that you have for no reason
He did them so you could make an impact and you know what the impact of just one person
Like one person playing the piano is so much different than singing acapella. And look I like seeing acapella
I'm not against it, you know
Just even one person one person that can sing really well versus a person that's tone-deaf makes a big impact
One
Person that can preach a really good sermon makes a pretty big impact don't they?
One person just knocking on your door and preaching the gospel. It's a pretty big impact
Look at verse 13 for by one spirit
Are we all baptized in one body whether we be Jews or Gentiles?
Whether we bond or free and have been all made to drink into one spirit where the body is not one member
but many
Some people don't realize you're important
Every single person in this room is greatly important and
It's many. Hey, it's not a one-man show up here. If nobody showed up. We wouldn't have Church
We wouldn't have this building. I'd be having to do something else
It's not about what it's not about one person
The church is a body of people and you make a great impact
You don't even realize how many people come to church because of you
You know, I I'm new here
People come to church just because you showed up
You don't even realize how many people decide look I
Tried to when you try to build a church from scratch
It is extremely difficult
When you only have like three or four people out there in your preaching to when a visitor comes they feel real awkward. I
Mean I'm just being honest
like I've tried planning a church where there's just there's not really any interest and it's brand new and
There's nobody really coming and you'll have a visitors finally show up
You can preach them the gospel or you gave them the invite they decide to come and you're real excited
And then in the announcements, they just walk out
Because it's just it's just like you and like two other people and it is kind of like hey, you know
What are we doing here?
So you don't even realize that you just even being in here makes a difference and you know
What if you're a normal person?
You really make a difference
the more the more normal you are and the better a person you are look if everybody here is a weirdo and
Dressed in their pajamas. Everybody be like, I don't want to go to that church
You know the more normal and the more friendly that you are you make an impact you make an impact in people's lives
Don't look at yourself is not important
Every single person in this room is extremely important and makes an impact in God's house
All of them and anytime I think of a person that didn't show up to church, you know what it makes me sad I
Like seeing every single one of you every single time every time I see you it brings joy to my face
So no matter what anybody else thinks it matters to me. I
Like seeing you I like visiting with you and shaking your hand
Look at verse 15 if the foot shall say because I am NOT the hand I am NOT of the body
Is it therefore not of the body?
And if the ear shall say because I am NOT the eye I am NOT of the body
Is it therefore not of the body if the whole body were an eye?
Where were the hearing if the whole we're hearing where were the smelling?
But now have God set the members every one of them in the body as it hath pleased him
And if they were all one member, where were the body but now are they many members yet?
But one body now he's emphasizing the fact that the body is going to be comprised of different parts
I'm glad that my entire body is not just thumbs
That would be weird, you know thumbs on my face probably wouldn't do a lot
You know
I like having eyes and a nose and ears and different parts and they're all important
Look, there's a lot of body parts. You have you just have one of them and it's real important like a nose
I'm glad I'm not missing a nose today
Now some people might not like the nose. I like the nose, you know
How about your mouth? Isn't that a pretty important piece of the body?
How about the brain some people you kind of question if they have it, but
That's a pretty important part to have. How about the stomach? I like the stomach. I
Mean, there's a lot of pieces, you know, how about your heart? Is that one pretty important?
Just one part
What happens if you just lost your heart dead lost your brain dead lost your stomach dead lost your mouth
Dead your nose. You can probably survive but it'd be rough and
Look, that's what God's saying about the church
Somebody in this room is the heart
Somebody in this room is the nose and I still like you. Okay someone in this room is the stomach
Someone in this room is all the different parts of the body, you know some couples they're the lungs, you know other parts
They're the kneecaps. I like the kneecaps. I don't want any there's no part of my body that I'm thinking like I don't want that
I like all of it and I want all of it and you ought to think of how important you truly are
Because guess what when one part of your body no matter how insignificant you think it is starts hurting your whole body starts hurting
If you hit that funny bone, oh man, the whole body hurts. That's annoying
I recently had this and I hate this this is like my least favorite thing
But I get charlie horses in the night. Okay, and it's just one part of your body
It's just one little calf muscle or whatever tightens up, but when I get a calf muscle it hurts so bad
I just like freak out and I like throw myself out of the bed and my whole body is like spat
You can ask my wife. Okay, this is legit story. Like I throw myself out of the bed. I just like
That's just one part it hurts
And you don't realize hey one person in the church gets disgruntled and wants to leave and it's like a charlie horse in my heart
It hurts
Does it feel good?
it's not fun when somebody gets offended and stop serving God and
Decides to not go to church and not not do the right things it hurts
Every single person is important and obviously, you know in the New Testament we have Church is
It's not like you have to come to this church to serve God and if someone decides to serve God somewhere else great
I'm talking when people just stop going to church and they stop serving God and they get out of the will of God
It hurts
You are important
Go to 1st Corinthians keep your finger because we're gonna come back go to 1st Corinthians chapter 14
I'm not the pastor. Well, every single person is important and you know what?
Not everybody in this room is gonna be a pastor and we just wake you up majority
If not all are probably never gonna be pastor and that's fine
You don't have to the hand is never gonna be an eye. It needs to get over it
The eyes never gonna be the mouth the nose never gonna be enough but to look at a part of your body and say well
That's not as important. That's not as needful. That's an ignorant mentality
That's a foolish mentality. God has placed certain parts in the body as it pleased him is what the Bible says
So you ought to realize hey, I'm here for a reason. I'm in the role that I'm in for a reason
God wants me to fulfilling the job that I have for a reason
I ought not try to be something that I'm not I had
Embrace who I am and be the best hand that I can be and the best eyes that I can be and the best
Nose that I can be all of it
Don't look at your part and say well my parts not important
No, your part is very important and I don't want any more charley horses. All right
You know and one thing I think of is just how impactful you are coming to church
If you look at other churches, okay, they're really growing and they're expanding a lot of times
Their model of growth is what's called small groups
Okay, they have all these Sunday school classes and small groups and things like that and say why is that?
why the church is experiencing a lot of growth because
those people in those groups are constantly inviting their friends and family to come to that group and
Then they bring them in and they don't realize the impact that they're having in their church
You know how people are gonna start coming to church you bring them with you
You know people people don't just stumble into random churches, you know
They often go to church because someone invited them because someone's asking them to come
Because they heard about the church from a friend because their family member drug a man
Just somebody's bringing them in and we ought not have this mentality of like well, you know, how does someone come to church?
I guess you got to bring up you got to invite them. You got to encourage them to show up
You know, obviously we don't have small groups so we don't have whatever and but I like Church better anyways, okay
I don't want that small group where we all just talk about what we think, you know
I like, you know, someone actually knows what the Bible says teaching and
You know, if you really think your church is great. Why would you not want to invite people to it?
If you really think it's a wonderful place, I mean, it's the body of Christ, isn't it?
First Corinthians chapter 14 look at verse 10 there are it may be so many kinds of voices in the world
None of them is without signification. I love this verse
You know, every voice is important and every voice can guess what let every you know thing that hath breath
Praise the Lord. That's that's that's a great way to use your voice. How about another one preach the gospel every creature?
Look your voice has such an impact in this world and you have such a sphere and influence that you don't even realize
your spouse
Family members
your children
your co-workers
Your brothers and sisters in Christ your voice has an impact in this world and what you say is gonna impact the people in
Your life it's gonna impact whether they want to be around you more whether they think you need a breath mint
You know all kinds of different things
You got to realize that your voice has a major role in this world today
You can do a lot of great things with your voice today
Obviously, there's power the power of life and death is in the tongue, right go to Acts chapter 9 accept number 9
You don't have to be the pastor to be significantly impactful
You know, there's some people in the church. They give generously of their time to the church
There's people that give generously of their money. There's people that give generously of their energy
There's all kinds of people that pour all kinds of effort into the body of Christ into the Church of God
And you know what? They're very impactful
They might not be visible
Now you have a lot of body parts in your body that are not on the outside
They're on the inside and so they don't get all the recognition. They don't get all the attention
They don't get all the praise, but they're very needful. In fact, most of the things on the outside are superfluous
You're you could more likely go without parts of the body on the outside the parts in the inside. That's real important
You can't just start chopping that up and survive
Whereas you can go without a lot of those things in the outward appearance
Acts chapter number nine. Let's look at somebody that's a great person. That's really impactful
Look at verse 36 now there was a Joppa a certain disciple named Tabitha which my interpretation is called Dorcas
This woman was full of good works and alms deeds
Which she did and it came to pass in those days that she was sick and died whom when they had washed
they laid her in an upper chamber and
For as much as Lydda was night a Joppa and the disciples had heard that Peter was there
They sent him sent on him to men desiring him that he would make would not delay to come to them
Then Peter rose and went with them when he was coming
They brought him into the upper chamber and all the widows stood by him weeping and showing the coats and garments
Which Dorcas had Dorcas made while she was with them
But Peter put them all forth and kneeled down and prayed and turning him to the body said
Tabitha arise and she opened her eyes and when she saw Peter she sat up and he gave her his hand and lifted her up
And when he had called the Saints and widows presented her alive
verse 42 and it was known throughout all Joppa and many believed in the Lord now what I like about this story is
This is just some woman
Who you know?
In our mind we would think all is she really important but look how everybody else viewed her
It says in verse number 39 all the widows stood by him weeping and showing the coats and garments as Dorcas had made
This woman in the church. She was just a great woman
She just did a lot of alms deeds and you know alms deeds is just helping people blessing people financially, you know
And obviously she's probably not, you know, letting her left hand know what her right hand doeth
She's just been a blessing to everybody in the church. Every loves Dorcas
Every loves the coats and the garments that she's made for everybody
She's just been a blessing to all these different people in the church. So when she dies, everybody's weeping everybody's sad
You don't realize the impact that you can have in a church you say was Dorcas the pastor? No
Was Dorcas someone that you know was probably well known to the outside world. No, but her church knew who she was
Her church knew the impact that she was making
Being a friend to lean upon
You know, not everybody's gonna see that
Now he's gonna know if you hey, I people they call me and they ask me for help all the time
You don't have to go around
I just want to let you know everybody calls me and everybody everybody I'm a great shoulder to lean on
You know just be a good shoulder lean on
You'll get recognition in due time maybe when you're dead
But does it doesn't matter you're not doing it for recognition Dorcas Dorcas doing because he loves people
Because she wants to be really impactful and look at the impact of one person all these people are so distraught because of Dorcas
Because Dorcas is gone
And obviously it's a great story because Peter brings her back to you know
Back to life and she's restored unto them and because of that many people even believed in the Lord
Notice that a lot of people got saved because Dorcas was a really great person
Isn't that interesting how that worked out because she loved much because she did a lot of alms deeds
Because she was really faithful in her church. She ends up having a lot of people care about her death
They sinned unto Peter. He raised her from the dead and because of this great miracle many people believe in the Lord
What would happen if Dorcas was just a constant gossip in the church?
Good thing she's dead
You don't think people think that way
You don't think some people think I wish that person would never come to church again
You got to be like Dorcas where everybody's like man, that's awful. She was a great person in our church
She was constantly a blessing to our church and she had a great impact on the church
Go to Ecclesiastes chapter 4 Ecclesiastes chapter 4
The Bible says in Proverbs 27 ointment and perfume rejoice the heart
So does the sweetness of a man's friend by hearty counsel
So just like you like smelling things that smell good
It's saying hey a friend that gives you good advice or or really gives you good counsel
It feels good. You enjoy that you like it
You don't want to go to somebody and ask them for advice and they're just like, oh, I don't care
No, you want someone to hey, they gave you hearty counseling. They really care about it
They're instilling wisdom unto you. They want to be a good friend unto you
I've had a lot of people in my life who I went to with concerns
You know
I'm
Struggling with what to do with my career or I'm struggling to do with with my life and they give me hearty counsel meaning
They actually cared about the advice they were giving me and it was wonderful
I remember talking to a guy that I was going to church with and he was real zealous for the Lord
he he really had a zeal of God and
You know
I was
considering when I was going back to college of getting like a degree in maybe computer science or maybe getting a degree in accounting and I
Wasn't really sure what I wanted to do
But I just sat down talked with a guy and you know
He just gave me a lot of really heartfelt good information and it was great. It was great that I didn't come in
He's just like you're an idiot. I don't care get out of here. No, he sat down. He took the time
He cared about what I was saying and he gave me really good counsel
The Bible says iron sharpened with iron so a man sharpened at the countenance of his friend
You know when I see my friends that puts a smile on my face
When I don't see my friends it can be a discouragement it can be something where I don't feel as good
Don't think that you not your presence is not important. You are impactful as a person
There's here's where you can be really impactful. Look at Ecclesiastes chapter 4 verse 8
There is one alone and there is not a second. Yay. He hath neither child nor brother yet
Is there no end of all his labor neither is I satisfied with riches neither sayeth he for whom?
Do I labor and bereaved my soul of good? This is also vanity. Yea, it is a sore travail
Two are better than one because they have a good reward for their labor for if they fall
The one will lift up his fellow
But woe to him that is alone when he falleth free hath not another to help him up again if two lie together
Then they have heat
But how can one be warm alone and if one prevail against him to show a stand him and a threefold cord is not quickly
Broken now we're talking about the impact of one person
You know what you can be that second person to a lot of other people
You can be that silent partner to somebody when you go out and soul winning
You can be that second person when someone falls when they have a problem when they're going through hard times
You can say hey, I'll help you up
the impact of one person and
You know as much as I try I try to help people as much as I can but you know a church of
This size and growing I can't always be that one person just pick everybody up
It's nice when other people say hey, I can be that person
I
Can go visit that person and I can call that person and I can be a friend of that person and I can help
Them up why because you're impactful the impact of one person saying hey, I can make a difference
Go to 1st Corinthians chapter 12, you know makes me think again, you know going back to kind of my career
I was starting it a job as a computer programmer
And I really it was kind of just it was a pure gift from God that I even got this job opportunity because I had no
Programming experience I knew as much about computers as you did they turn on, you know
You can hit buttons and stuff happens
I I would maybe had a little bit more knowledge than that, but I'm just saying when it came to computer programming
This is how most people think it's magic. Okay, that's how most people look at it
They're like, how does any of this stuff work? I didn't know any of it worked
I started reading a computer programming book on my own and try to study as much as I could but still I didn't really have
much knowledge and I'm starting out in this new job and
Really? It was just a trial by fire to say the least. They're basically like put you in a room
I had to build my own computer day one
Day two, I'm the lead web designer for our site for our website and they just said here's all the code go for it
Now
Let me tell you that's intimidating situation, okay, I vote very stressful that was a great opportunity
But there was another person that worked in that company and he wasn't my boss
He wasn't told by the management that he had to help me
You know what? I just went and I was just like, can you please help me and he spent hours with me every day
Before work he say hey, I'll meet you before where I'll show up early and I'll just help you
Hey, I won't take a lunch break and I'll just show you what what you're doing here
Hey, I'll just cut we can talk on the phone after work. He didn't have to do that
He wasn't getting paid extra to do any of that. He's a salary employee. It's not like he gets the clock in
You know nothing and it management from my perspective while they are probably somewhat appreciative
I think they actually didn't like it. They didn't like that. I was
Distracting like the great programmer, you know by my ignorance not knowing how to do programming and
But here's the thing. It was really impactful in my life
it made a huge difference in my career that someone be willing to
Instill a lot of time a lot of effort a lot of energy into me and you know what?
He's one of my best friends. He's a great person and you know through that conversation later
I told him that 9-eleven was inside job. He finally believed me
So, you know, I'm trying to help him out. He's on me out, you know, he's King James only
He's he's believed salvation by grace through faith. I mean, he's he's great. He's a great person, you know
He's blessed me in all kinds of other ways too. It's great to have a great friend
You know, he he bought all the chairs for pure words Baptist Church
And you know what? Nobody in that church has ever met him
Not even one time the impact of one person you don't even know about him you didn't even know about that body part did you and
Look, there's a lot of people they make a lot of sacrifices and they do a lot of big things for God and nobody
Here knows about it
You can be that person
You can be a person that makes a great impact
For God go to 1st Corinthians 12 go back and look at verse 21
The eye cannot say into the hand
I have no need of thee nor again the head to the feet
I have no need of you nay much more those members of the body which seem to be more feeble are
Necessary and those members of the body which we think to be less honorable upon these we bestow more
Abundant honor and our uncommonly parts have more abundant comeliness. You know what the Bible is saying here
It's saying there's certain people in this room that have a bigger impact than you realize
And there's no reason for you to go around and think all that person's not unimportant
Who cares if they come to church and look?
there's so many people that have a such a big impact in the kingdom of God and
It's not realized people don't even necessarily see it with their own eyes or they don't see it in the physical realm
We have to realize one person can make a huge impact for God. Don't look at yourself as unimportant
You are very important every single person you will make a great impact
Verse 24 for our commonly parts have no need
But God had tempered the body together having given more abundant honor to that part which lacked
That there should be no schism in the body
But that the members should have the same care one for another and whether one member member suffer
All the members suffer with it or one member be honored all the members rejoice with it. We ought to be
One body as much as possible one unity when someone suffers we suffer with them
We weep with them we call them and we pray for them and we want to bless them and when someone does something good
When someone you know does a great work for God
We ought not get envious of that person and be mad at that person hand. Why'd you do so good?
You know you think that the quarterback for you know, whoever wins the Super Bowl. He's looking at his hand
He's just like right hand, you know
Shame on you for throwing all those touchdowns
No
It's like great, you know, even the left hand goes up, you know, they both go up
They're both excited. His mouth is gonna praise his hand, you know, he's gonna be excited about it
He's gonna take care of that hand. He's gonna treat it with dignity and respect. He's not looking at it like oh
Stupid who needs you, you know, or the left hand is not like I wish I was the right hand
Well, if you didn't have a left hand
You probably wouldn't be able to balance that ball because your hand to be like this you'd be like kind of awkward
You know, you're trying to hold it. Look you need that left hand
All the other parts of your body. Hey, you need those feet so you can actually throw it because you're laying on the ground
You're not gonna be able to throw the ball
You need that elbow to be able to extend it and to throw it and if the hand starts saying oh
I don't need you elbow. He's like, we'll try it now
You know, it's not gonna work
But unfortunately churches can look like that can't they they can look somebody that you know
Doesn't have a lot of money that comes to church. Oh, we don't need them
Wicked they might be the best so we're in the church
They might be the person going around that everybody calls upon and needs advice from and help from and they know the Bible really well
And they're a great preacher and they're great comfort to a lot of people in the room
Don't look at people as unimportant. We ought to raise the value of people in our eyes
Christ had great value for people
You
Know there was a man who's crazy. He's a lunatic. He has a legion of demons in his body
nobody wants to touch him, you know what Jesus wanted to go and heal that man and
Jesus is willing to kill 2,000 pigs for him showing the value of that one man saying this guy's
Important. Hey, someone came to Jesus and said hey my daughter. She's dying. She's like, I'll go healer
Hey someone comes and touches him healed why because the value of one person is so great
Would you look at your spouse and put a number on their head
Would you put a price on your child's head?
There isn't there isn't a price
We got to look at people today as invaluable or not invaluable
There's no price that you can put on their head there they're priceless you can't you can't replace them
Every single soul every single child every single woman every single man
The elderly couple the newborn baby every single person is priceless
That's how Jesus felt when he died on the cross for every single person
That's how we ought to look at people today and not not just be so
Hard-hearted and wanting to be mean to people and reject people and treat people like dirt
Now Christ treated me. He treated me great, but I didn't deserve it
Look at verse 27
Now you're the body of Christ and members in particular and God has set some in the church first apostles
Secondarily prophets thirdly teachers after that miracles then gifts of healing helps governments
Diversities of tongues are all apostles are all prophets are all teachers all workers of miracles
Have all the gifts of healing you all speak with tongues do all interpret
But covet earnestly the best gifts and yet show I undo a more excellent way
You know that best get he's gonna tell them all about charity after that
And you're saying not everybody's getting a pastor and everybody's gonna be in a deacon
Not everybody's gonna get all this recognition
You know what? You can still make a huge difference go to go to Ezekiel chapter 22 Ezekiel 22
The Bible says in 2nd chronicle 16 for the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth
To show himself strong and the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him
The Bible says that God's constantly looking for one person just any person that he can just show himself strong in the rehab
Do great works through one person
The impact that one person can make is
Beyond what we can even think of you can make such a great impact as just one singular person. You don't even realize it
Ezekiel 22 look at verse 24
Son of man, Zander thou art the land that is not cleansed nor rained upon in the day of indignation
There is a conspiracy of her prophets in the midst thereof like a roaring lion raving the prey
They have devoured souls. They have taken the treasure and precious things
They have made her many widows in the midst thereof
This sounds like America her priests have violated my law and it profane my holy things
They have put no difference between the holy and profane
Neither they show difference between the unclean and the clean and have hid their eyes from my Sabbaths and I am profaned among them
Her princes in the midst thereof are like wolves
Ravening the prey to shed blood and to destroy souls and to get dishonest gain
That's you know
Your Lakewood Baptist Church of Joel Osteen right there and her prophets have daubed them with untempered mortar
Seeing vanity and divining lies unto them saying thus sayeth the Lord God when the Lord hath not spoken
You know what that is? That's preaching your personal opinion. That's preaching what you think when the Bible doesn't say it
Verse 29 the people of the land have used oppression and exercise robbery and effects the poor and needy
Yea, they have oppressed the stranger wrongfully and I sought for a man
Among them that should make up the hedge and stand in the gap before me for the land that I should not destroy it
But I found them
The impact of one person it just one person and said hey, I'll make up the hedge
I'll stand in that gap
You say hey, someone's hurting in the church. I'll make up the hedge
Hey, someone's disgruntled. I'll be the peacemaker. Hey, this person was mean. I'll give them grace
Hey, I don't know if I am the best singer or the best man just play
You know just sing just fill your role be excited about the job that God has given you because the impact of one
Person can be great
If one person just one person God said hey, I didn't he didn't say I sought for a whole group of people doing right
I sought for a man one person
one person could say what an entire area of
people
You know makes me think of another person Jonah go to book of Jonah chapter 3
One person can make a huge impact on an entire area
You know the Apostle Paul said in that in the book of Acts chapter 20 verse 26
Wherefore I take you to record this day that I am pure from the blood of all men
What an impactful statement you think the Apostle Paul was impactful you think he made a difference in the world one man
One man that just had his heart right towards God that just said hey God just used me
You know what? He wasn't a pastor either. Oh
Man the most impactful person done even a pastor
You know a lot of the Old Testament guys they weren't pastors Amos. He was just a herd man
He made a pretty big impact
Jonah, I don't know if he's a pastor
He's gonna make a pretty big impact look at verse number four a chapter three verse number four
And Jonah began to enter into the city a day's journey
And he cried and said yet 40 days and Nineveh shall be overthrown like pastor
So why don't you preach sermons that short?
Well, you know you can go to Jonah Baptist Church and you can get a message like that
It wasn't positive verse five
So the people of Nineveh believed God and proclaimed a fast and put on sackcloth
From the greatest of them even to the least of them
for word came unto the king of Nineveh and he arose from his throne and laid his robe from him and covered him with
sackcloth and sat in ashes and he caused to be reclaimed and published through Nineveh by the decree of the king and his
Nobles saying let neither man nor beast heard nor flock taste anything
Let them not feed nor drink water
But let man and beast be covered with sackcloth and cry mightily unto God
Yea, let them turn everyone from his evil way and from the violence that is in their hands who can tell if God will turn
to repent and turn away from his fierce anger that we perish not and
God saw their works that they turn from their evil way and God repented of the evil
That he had said that he would do unto them and he did it not you know
I like about the story it just proves that hard preaching works
Some people they don't like hard preaching you say what's hard preaching it's when you preach something that someone's doing that's wrong
You know, what's hard preaching? Well, guess what? It's preaching something that the Bible says number one number two
it's something that's corrective meaning that it's telling you're doing something wrong and number three, it's specific and
oftentimes where people fail at hard preaching is the specific is
They'll say hey don't do wrong. Don't sin don't do bad
And everybody's just thinking like yeah, okay
Well not gonna do bad today, you know
And then you have to start talking about what bad looks like and then like it's not bad. What are you talking about?
I'm not so shiny
But guy actually cares about what I look like. Yes
Guys, it cares about what I say. Yes. He cares about what you think. Yes. He cares about where you go
Yes, all of it
So then when you start actually pointing things things out then people get start freaking out but notice in Jonah chapter 3
He just he didn't give them any hope
Your whole nation's destroyed
Good luck
And they still got right
and look at verse chapter 4 verse number 11 and
Should not I spare Nineveh that great city where there are more than six score thousand persons
That cannot discern between their right hand and their left hand and also much cattle over a hundred
Thousand people are spared from God's wrath because of
one
Because of one person being obedient to God's commandment. He made such an impact
He saved a hundred thousand people and look the population on this earth is greater than it was back
Then you know that tells me one person could make such an impact for an entire nation for an entire area
Don't
Think of you as being in oh, I'm not that important. I'm not a pastor
What if just one person just decided you know what? I'm just gonna try and save all of Jamaica
I'm gonna try and save all of the Bahamas. I'm gonna try and save all of Mexico
Just how many people are in Mexico?
Just think how many people one person
Could make a difference, you know why people are making a huge difference because they don't think that they're important
They don't think that they have any value
Look I'm here to tell you you have more value than you could ever possibly imagine
God knows all he has all the hairs on your head numbered
He has more thoughts about you than the sand on the seashore is what the Bible says
You can make such an impact and the humble person will realize I can make a huge impact
I need to try and serve God with my life
the non humble person says on I'm worthless and
I don't have any value. Nobody cares about me. That's called fake humility, and it's garbage, and I don't like it
True humility says I can make a huge difference now the difference is they don't go around bragging about it
Do you know how important I am?
God died for me
Just let you know he even knows how many hairs are on my head for some of you. That's not that hard of a count
You know a lot of us it's impactful you know
Go to 2nd Timothy chapter 1 go to 2nd 3 that form
Say well, I'm not Jonah. I'm not I'm not Jesus. I'm not the Apostle Paul. I'm just a woman well remember Dorcas
Let's look at another woman. That's very impactful in the Bible 2nd to me chapter 1 look at verse number 3 I
Thank God whom I serve from my forefathers with pure conscience that without ceasing
I have a remembrance of thee my prayers night and day
Greatly desiring to see thee being mindful of thy tears that I may be filled with joy when I call to remembrance the unfeigned faith
That is in thee which dwelt first in thy grandmother Lois and thy mother you nice
And I persuaded that in the also the impact of one grandmother
Lois
She just happens that one of her grandchildren is
Timothy oh, yeah pretty impactful person isn't you know what Timothy would have never been the person that he was without Lois
Without his mother Eunice the impact of a mother every single great man of God. Let me tell you a secret had a mother
all of them
The impact that a mother has on her child is probably the single greatest impact
Don't think of you. Oh, I'm not that important. You're super important
The time that my wife spends with my children is priceless. It's invaluable. I can't put a price on it
The impact that she's gonna make in my children's lives. It's just you can't even put any kind of figure to it
That's why I don't want to give them to the devil
Called the public fool system and see what impact they're gonna make. I want to see what kind of impact my wife can make
You say oh, I'm a grandmother. You can make a big impact and your children and your grandchildren
Huge impact there's a lot of people the reason the way they are who they are is because of a grandparent
Say all my grandfather was like this my grandma was like that go to Proverbs chapter 31
don't think of the people in your life as
You know
Insignificant today look at them as great potential, you know when Timothy was born
He was a little baby like all of them, but Lois looked at that child's like this child could do something great
Every mother believes in their child
They think this child could be the greatest person they could do great things and
They ought to actually believe that in their heart and instill everything they got into their children
Just give everything they got all the love all the attention all the education all the time all the effort all the
Energy and realize I can make a huge impact in my child's life
The single greatest impact on any person's life is their parents
No person's gonna make the impact in your life more than your parents will and unfortunately for some it's negative
You know what you can be a positive influence in the child's life
You can do great things for your child
I don't care what age you are and I don't care what age they are
You can still make a huge impact
Proverbs 31 verse 1 the words of King Lemuel the prophecy that his mother taught him
What my son and what the son of my womb and what the son of my vows give not thy strength unto women
Nor thy ways to that which destroyeth Kings. It is not for Kings o Lemuel
It is not for Kings to drink wine
Nor for Prince's strong drink lest they drink and forget the law and pervert the judgment of any of the afflicted
Give strong drink unto him that is ready to perish and wine unto those that be of heavy hearts
Let him drink and forget his poverty and remember his misery no more
Open thy mouth for the dumb and the cause of all such as appointed destruction
Open thy mouth judge righteously and plead the cause of the poor needy
Who can find a virtuous woman for prices far above rubies? You know, I like about this. This mom is a hard preacher
You say hey, I want to be a hard preacher, okay preach to your sons
And you know what I love about this
His it always reminds me my mom because my mom was a hard preacher
Hey, you know what? She was always ripping on whores
Being a derelict
She would always rip on you if you did not have a belt on
She would call you a fag
She I don't know if she used the exact where I think she did I'm remembering that she did
She would be really discreet about it though. Like she wouldn't go around just publicly but she would be like John
Pull your pants up she's like in prison
They wear their head their pants loose to let everybody know they're open for business and you say you're not open for business John
Play your pants up put a belt on it
She's a hard preacher and I liked it. You know, if a woman called me
She just hang up on her
Doesn't matter what the reason was it was a female voice and they're calling for John. She's just like bye
My wife tried to call me one time when we were not dating and she said that my wife was super me
She didn't immediately hang up, I guess but she was about to and then my wife
She's like it's just for school and she's like, okay
And she just took notes or something. It gave it to me
I remember one girl that was trying to date
she called me multiple times and left messages with my mom to call me and
I never got the message. I
Ran into it. She's like I've been calling you for weeks. What's going on? I was like, I didn't know that
I asked my mom. She's like, yeah, I just threw away the messages. I
Don't want girls calling you
It's great
You know my mother
God bless her. She was not you know, right about a lot of doctrine, but she had a zeal of God
She read her Bible every day
Her Bible looked like you know had gone through World War two, I mean
Marked up. She read the Bible constantly. She's constantly listening to praise music constant. Just she just loved God. She has zeal for God
You know and she taught me all kinds of things. She taught me to be a great steward of the things that I had
How to cook how to be a good person how to have good morals how to be polite
She taught me how to have fun
It was a great attribute. She taught me how to love family
She taught me being respectful my dad and to her husband to be sacrificial a very sacrificial person
She's very hard-working. She loved people
You know, I don't know if she's on her way to heaven
Or she went to heaven
And it it really heats me up
She passed away several years ago and the impact of one person
We could have just asked my mom what she had to do to go to heaven
When you go out this afternoon you really look at people like they're your mother
They're your father. They're your child
the impact that one person can have
You know how much how grateful I'd be to one person that had made sure that my mom was saved
And all the time that I spent with her and I could have just over my Bible
But I went to a bad church that nobody's warning me about. Oh you preach against bad churches
Yeah, I do cuz I hate them. I hate every false way
I hate the fact that I wasted so much of my life in a bad church not knowing the people around me if they're saved
How can you even go to a church and you don't even know the people are saved?
Don't take anybody in your life for granted
Check their salvation
And no surprise you unfortunately sometimes
It's sad the difference is a soul winner can make go to Matthew chapter 10
You know what I wouldn't be the person I am it wasn't for my mom
And all of you are the same way there's plenty of people in your life you're the person you are because of your parents
The impact of one person
Matthew chapter 10 verse 39
He that findeth his life shall lose it and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it
He that receiveth you receiveth me and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me
He that receiveth a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet's reward
And he that receiveth a righteous man in the name of a righteous man
shall receive a righteous man's reward and whose server shall give to drink unto one of these little ones a
Cup of cold water only in the name of a disciple verily I send you he shall in no wise
Lose his award look you don't understand the impact
Even for just giving a cup of water
Only in the name of a disciple you're gonna not lose a reward
What kind of an impact is that I mean we're talking about the most insignificant impact. Just do you want some water?
But think of the impact look there's been plenty of times
I've been soul winning and I'm thinking like I hope this person offers me some water
Hey, you know I'll tell you there's been a couple times where that prayer was answered
I was just thinking like wow that was great. I really needed some water
I was really parched and you know what they're not gonna lose the reward
You're not gonna lose the rewards for the great things you do in this life
Your life is impactful your life has meaning your life has value. Don't look at yourself as unimportant today
Realize the importance of one person and realize hey, I can make a great impact today. I
Believe
Jesus believes in you
Believe in yourself suppose in prayer
Thank you father so much for these great words for the impact that one person can make through your power through your spirit
I pray that people would just realize the value that they have
That you bought them with the blood of Jesus Christ
Just it's not even there's no price on it and that the impact that somebody can make in their lives
I pray that they would realize the importance they have all the mothers all the fathers all the children all the
grandparents all the friends
All the just you know church members the musicians
