GOT
GOT TO
GOT TO DO
GOT TO DO WHAT YOU SHOULD AND FOR MANY THAT MEANS STILL GOING TO CHURCH. MORE PEOPLE ATTEND
CHURCH ON EASTER THAN ANY OTHER
SUNDAY. BUT THIS YEAR, YES,
IT'S GOING TO LOOK A LITTLE
DIFFERENT. BUT HERE'S
THE THING. SOCIAL DISTANCING
DOESN'T HAVE TO MEAN EMOTION OR
DISTANCING OR SPIRITUAL
DISTANCING. PASTOR MILES MAKING
PEARSON FROM THE ROCK CHURCH.
JOINING US NOW TO SHARE HOW WE
CAN BRING THE COMMUNITY
TOGETHER THIS SUNDAY, PASTOR
MILES. THANKS SO MUCH FOR
JOINING. CAN YOU HEAR ME? MY
PLEASURE. HOW ARE YOU DOING
TODAY? GREAT, GREAT. TELL ABOUT
THE ROCK CHURCH EASTER WEEKEND
SERVICES STARTING TODAY WITH
GOOD FRIDAY. HOW CAN PEOPLE
CONNECT HERE? WHERE ARE YOU
GOING? IRAN-CONTRA TODAY? FIVE
AND SEVEN AND THEN SIX SERVICES
ON SUNDAY AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE
PEOPLE TO STEP BACK AND LOOK AT
THIS MORE THAN A RELIGIOUS
HOLIDAY AS ACKNOWLEDGING
THE DEATH OF CHRIST FOR OUR
SINS. HE DIDN'T COME TO DIE
JUST SO WE CAN WEAR CROSSES
AROUND OUR NECK. HE CAME TO PAY
THE PRICE FOR US. AND IN ANY
ROSEMOUNT DEBT TO SUNDAY TO
PROVE HIS POWER AND VICTORY
OVER DEATH. AND THEN WE REALIZE
THAT THOSE ARE REAL HISTORICAL
EVENTS THAT HAPPENED FOR VERY
SPECIFIC. YOU KNOW, PASTOR, I
HAVE A SIGN IN MY KITCHEN. I
SEE EVERY MORNING BEFORE WORK
SAYS COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS. YOU
KNOW, IT JUST SEEMS SO
IMPORTANT TO FOCUS ON WHAT
WE'RE BLESSED WITH DURING THESE
TOUGH TIMES. I MEAN WHAT'S
WHAT'S YOUR MESSAGE GOING TO
BE? WELL, IT WOULD BE EXACTLY
THAT IS IN DIFFERENT WORDS. BUT
I'M BLESSED TO BE GOD AND PAY
FOR MY SINS THAT I COULD BE
FORGIVEN. I MEAN I WAS I WAS A
MISS 36 YEARS AGO DOING COCAINE
EVERY DAY AND SMOKING WEED AND
MY LINKS TO MY GIRLFRIEND AT I
WAS DESTROYED. AND I ASKED
CHRIST TO BE MY SAVIOR APRIL
12TH IT WOULD BE ACTUALLY 36
YEARS. THIS SUBDUED COCAINE OF
ONE DAY MY GIRLFRIEND I GOT
BACK TOGETHER. WE GOT MARRIED
THAT YEAR. SHE'S STILL MY WIFE.
SO I'M WELL, I'M BLESSED TO
HAVE BEEN GIVEN ANOTHER CHANCE,
NOT A SECOND CHANCE. IT WAS BY
CHANCE NUMBER TWO MILLION. BUT
IT WAS ANOTHER CHANCE TO GET IT
RIGHT AND I'M TRYING TO GET IT
RIGHT EVERY DAY. YEAH. WE LOVE
YOUR BACK STORY. JUST AMAZING,
YOU KNOW? BUT WITH ALL THIS
UNCERTAINTY, A LOT OF STRUGGLE
LATELY WITH A LOT OF PEOPLE
LISTENING TO THIS RIGHT NOW.
YOU KNOW WHAT WORDS OF
ENCOURAGEMENT CAN YOU AND
THE CONGREGATION CAN OFFER OUR
VIEWERS? ONE THING PRACTICALLY
COLD RELATED WE'RE DOING A LOT
OF VOLUNTEER WORKED AT 6:00
P.M. RIGHT. COLLECTING PPD FOR
PEOPLE IN THE HOSPITAL. BUT I
THINK ON A SPIRITUAL LEVEL ONE
OF THE THINGS WE NEED TO
REALIZE AS BECAUSE OF KOVAC IS
THAT ALL THE THINGS THAT WE
TRUST IN OUR MONEY JOB FOOD
SECURITY IS PRETTY MUCH GONE
AND THAT WE REALLY NEED TO
THINK ABOUT WHAT WHAT DO I PUT
MY SECURITY IN AND WHAT I PRAY
TO AND WHO I'M PRAYING TO ALIVE
AND ABLE TO HELP GET ME
THROUGH. SO I WOULD HOPE THAT
PEOPLE WOULD STEP BACK AND
INSTEAD OF SAYING GOD YOU'RE
DOING THIS THAT WE SAY GOD,
WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO LEARN
THROUGH THIS? I'M NOT THE ONE
DOING THIS STUFF HAPPENS BUT
IT'S HOW WE RESPOND THAT'S
IMPORTANT. AND SO I'M PRAYING
THAT PEOPLE WOULD STEP BACK AND
REALIZE I CAN'T TRUST IN
THE THINGS OF THE WORLD AND
THAT'S MY FAULT ONE. I GOT TO
TRUST GOD BECAUSE IN THE END
HE'S THE ONE THAT'S GOING TO BE
LEFT STANDING. HE'S THE HE'S
THE ONE THAT WE'RE PRAYING TO.
WHAT SHOULD PEOPLE BE ASKING
FOR IN THEIR PRAYERS? I MEAN
BREAK IT DOWN FOR US WHETHER
IT'S THOSE WHO LOST THEIR JOBS
OR THOSE PRAYING FOR PEOPLE
GOING THROUGH THESE TOUGH
TIMES. I MEAN JUST WALK US
THROUGH WHAT WORK WE ASKING FOR
AND OUR PRAYERS. VERY GOOD.
FIRST THE FIRST GOD. IT DEPENDS
ON WHERE YOU ARE. GOD, I'M A
SINNER. I'M NOT PERFECT AND
MAYBE I HAVEN'T TRUSTED YOU
ENOUGH TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU
WERE CREATED TO HAVE A
RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD, NOT JUST
GO TO CHURCH AND NOT JUST DO A
COUPLE OF GOOD THINGS AND THEN
GOD SUPPOSED BLESS ME. IT'S A
RELATIONSHIP JUST LIKE A PARENT
WITH A CHILD. IT'S TO TELL GOD
GOD I WANT TO HAVE A
RELATIONSHIP WITH YOU. I WANT
TO START OVER. SO GIVE ME MY
SIN AND FILL ME WITH THE SPIRIT
OF GOD. AND I WANT TO HAVE A
RELATIONSHIP WITH YOU AT OUR
WAR FAITHFULLY OUT OF
OBEDIENCE. AND SO THE KEY WORD
IS RELATIONSHIP IS NOT
RELIGION. SO IF PEOPLE WOULD
DESCRIBE THE GOD TO SAY GOD,
CAN I. CAN I START A
RELATIONSHIP WITH YOU? ASKED
JESUS TO GIVE ME AND AND FILL
ME WITH HIS SPIRIT OF GOD.
THAT'S WHAT THE RELATIONSHIP
HOW THE RELATIONSHIP HAPPENS.
PASTOR AND ALLOW GOD TO WALK
THROUGH THIS CRISIS. THAT IS
THE MESSAGE SO MANY NEED TO
HEAR RIGHT NOW. WE SURE
