Even though it was pretty wet and gloomy outside, we thank you for giving us the strength to get up this morning and come hear your word. We pray that you will help us face our personal crisis and the crisis that are in the world today,

00:02:50.840 - 00:03:08.760

and we hope that you will give us a solution to the problems that we may have. And Lord, bless the sick and shut in for whatever reason they cannot come. And we hope that one day you will give them the health and the strength they need to come and hear the word of the Lord.

00:03:08.760 - 00:03:27.820

And Lord, please when we leave here today, let us keep in mind that you are with us and let us not be just religious on Sunday, but on every day of the week. And we hope that you will be with us every day of the week because if we do need you, We cannot exist without you.

00:03:27.820 - 00:03:43.980

And Lord, help us keep our thoughts positive. And even though the times that we're in today are not all that good, please help us keep the right frame of thought that we may always think of you

00:03:43.980 - 00:03:53.020

and know that you're there. And that we know that with you with us, nobody can be against us. And that we can conquer all our problems

00:03:53.020 - 00:04:01.440

if we know that you're through our side. And Lord, when we've gone to the world, let us remember the seven words that have helped so many people--

00:04:01.440 - 00:04:12.640

I can do all things through Christ. So in Jesus' name, I pray, amen. Amen. You may be seated.

He said to me, "Never be afraid, for I will see you through." I didn't ask for riches, he gave me wealth untold. The moon, the stars, the sun, the sky, he gave me eyes to behold.

00:19:24.480 - 00:19:49.000

from the kindergarten level through the fifth grade or has to come forward at this time. Jesus said, "Suffer the little children to come unto me. "Forbid them not, for such is the kingdom of heaven."

00:19:49.000 - 00:20:11.920

The wise men of old said, "Train up a child the way that he should go And when he is old, he will not depart from it. Jesus said to his disciples that except you repent, unless you change,

00:20:11.920 - 00:20:40.560

and become as a little child, you shall not enter the kingdom of heaven. Here is our scripture.

00:20:40.560 - 00:20:52.520

Make a joyful noise unto God, all ye lands. Sing forth the honor of his name. Make his praise glorious. Would you repeat after me?

00:20:52.520 - 00:21:07.020

Make a joyful noise. Make a joyful noise. [Unison] With a joyful noise, under God, all ye lands, all ye lands, sing forth the honor of his name, sing forth the honor of his name,

00:21:07.020 - 00:21:24.520

make his praise glorious, make his praise glorious. That's wonderful. That's wonderful. I, when I was younger and had a group of children about your age,

00:21:24.520 - 00:21:45.400

we played a little game and it went something like this. It says, "This is a very solemn occasion." And each child was to look as sad as you could look. I want you to look as sad as you can possibly look.

00:21:45.400 - 00:22:01.720

Look as sad, this is a very solemn occasion. I want you to repeat that after me and look as sad as you can look. Now you say, "This is a very sad occasion." Just say that, "This is a very sad occasion."

00:22:01.720 - 00:22:22.720

Now look as sad as you can look. All right. Now I want you to smile. I want every one of you to smile. Now, you see, it is said that when you, let me see you frown.

00:22:22.720 - 00:22:45.720

You use far more wrinkles when you frown than when you smile. And it's really better for you to smile. It's better for your health. you feel better and you help others to feel better when you smile. So this is really what the psalmist is talking about.

00:22:45.720 - 00:23:01.220

He is encouraging us to smile. Smile. God loves you. In other words, when you look at life, when you're always sad, you're looking at the things that you didn't do, the things that went wrong,

00:23:01.220 - 00:23:22.500

And if you always look on those, you're sad and you're unhappy. But if you think about how good God is, the things that God has done for you, the things that he has done to make your life wonderful and to make life better for you, if you think about those things, then you will smile.

00:23:22.500 - 00:23:51.100

So really as you go about, think about the fact that you are a precious person in the the sight of God. God loves you no matter what happens. God loves you and God wants you to be happy and God is at work in the world to make life good and meaningful for you. So smile, smile. God loves you. All right.

00:30:10.800 - 00:30:42.160

It's an expression of our love and our sacrifice for the kingdom. Christian giving is regular, it's systematic, it's proportionate. We are challenged to give according to how the Lord has prospered us.

00:30:42.160 - 00:30:59.560

Today in connection with our offertory period, there's a special offering to which I call your attention. That special offering is for the March of Dimes.

00:30:59.560 - 00:31:29.560

I'm going to ask that the ushers will be prepared to receive that particular offering. The March of Dimes, I need not tell you about the importance of the March of Dimes. When it began it had to do with the treatment of polio.

00:31:29.560 - 00:31:52.160

But remarkable progress has been made in that treatment and it is felt that polio now is conquered, and so attention is focused on birth defects. So what you give will be used for the detection

00:31:52.160 - 00:32:11.800

and treatment of birth defects. It will serve to not only help in this way, but certainly improve the quality of life for hundreds, even millions. So let us give.

00:32:11.800 - 00:32:28.760

And today our offertory prayer will be given by our pulpit guests, the Reverend Rodney Henson. So let us bow our heads and close our eyes as the Reverend Rodney

00:32:28.760 - 00:32:51.520

Henson leads us in prayer. (gentle piano music) - Oh gracious God, our Father in heaven. It's again the day that we come to give thanks

00:32:51.520 - 00:33:08.800

unto your name. Oh gracious master, We thank you for the prosperity that you've given us. And Father, as we assemble here today

00:33:08.800 - 00:33:26.800

and prepare to present our offerings and our tithes to represent your goodness in our life, Father, we ask that you impress upon our minds and stir in our hearts to be obedient

00:33:26.800 - 00:33:48.920

unto your commandment to give. O gracious God, we ask that the soffering could be used for the purpose that you see fit. And then my father, those that desire to give, we ask you to bless those.

00:33:48.920 - 00:34:15.920

And father, those that desire to give and do not have, we ask you to bless their very thoughts. and all blessings we ask in the name of Jesus our Lord and Savior. [MUSIC]
