00:47 Within about 6, 8 weeks or whatever, in November,
00:50 is going to be 27 years since we were impressed to build 00:54 a television station that would reach the world 00:56 with an undiluted Three Angels' Messages: one that would 00:59 counteract the counterfeit. Had no idea how it would happen. 01:02 Just went forward one step at a time 01:05 and the Lord has done incredible things. 01:07 And I want to thank each and every one of you here 01:09 and those of you at home, because without you 01:12 we couldn't have done anything here. 01:14 My dad used to say: "Son, I'm so poor... " When I needed money 01:16 for lunch... "Son, I'm so poor 01:18 I couldn't feed a sick chicken. " 01:20 And so that's kind of the way we were here in West Frankfort. 01:23 We didn't have enough money to feed the sick chickens. 01:25 But as we put this dream out ya'll caught the vision. 01:28 Thank you for what you do 01:30 because right now literally hundreds of millions of people 01:33 if they're of a mind to and want to 01:35 can watch 3ABN on virtually every inhabited continent 01:40 on planet earth. Satellite... Whether it's by satellite, 01:43 whether it's by cable stations, 01:45 UHF stations. We're one of the largest owners of television 01:48 stations in America. Radio stations... 01:51 our networks around the world. We have stations in New Guinea, 01:54 the Philippines, and built a new facility in Australia. 01:57 And it's just... Russia, of course. And Julia is here 02:00 this weekend. So we just thank you again for all 02:03 that you do for the cause of God. 02:04 What we're going to do now in a little bit... 02:06 The next hour we have Bro. Mark Finley here that's going to be 02:10 bringing us another, I'm going to say, Holy Spirit-inspired 02:14 sermon, but before that we're going to do music. 02:17 Now I know you all out here... How many? Let me see your hands. 02:19 You like music? Yes! Especially with some of the guests 02:22 you hear who we have here tonight. 02:24 We have some incredible singers, musicians. 02:26 And it's my privilege to introduce first off 02:29 is my daughter Melody Firestone. Melody, how are you, honey? 02:32 I'm all right. How are you? Did you want to talk a while 02:34 tonight before you sing? No. 02:36 You know better than that, Daddy. 02:37 You know your Daddy loves you? 02:39 Yes. You're still my baby girl? Yes, I love you. 02:41 OK. Well, thank you. 02:43 The only time you get her to talk is if you start talking 02:45 about all of their children... eight children. 02:48 You don't look like you had eight kids. 02:50 OK. Thank you, I guess. 02:52 OK. She got it. OK. 02:54 All right. And Melody... I appreciate her so much 02:57 and I love her. And we named her Melody in faith God would 03:00 give her musical abilities, and He's done that. 03:03 And I'm thankful that you use your talents for Jesus, Melody. 03:06 What are you singing tonight? 03:07 He Knows My Name. Thank you. 03:28 He counts the stars one and all. 03:31 He knows how much sand is on the shore. 03:35 He sees every sparrow that falls. 03:43 He made the mountains and the seas. 03:47 He's in control of everything... 03:50 of all creatures great and small. 03:55 And He knows my name. 03:58 Every step that I take, 04:02 every move that I make, 04:05 every tear that I cry. 04:10 And He knows my name. 04:12 When I'm overwhelmed by the pain 04:17 and can't see the light of day 04:20 I know I'll be just fine 04:25 'cause He knows my name. 04:35 I don't know what tomorrow will bring. 04:39 I can't tell you what's in store. 04:43 I don't know a lot of things. 04:50 I don't have all the answers 04:52 to the questions of life 04:57 but I know in whom I have believed. 05:02 And He knows my name. 05:05 Every step that I take, 05:09 every move that I make, 05:13 every tear that I cry. 05:17 And He knows my name. 05:20 When I'm overwhelmed by the pain 05:24 and can't see the light of day 05:28 I know I'll be just fine 05:32 'cause He knows my name. 05:37 He knew who I was 05:41 when He carried my cross. 05:45 He knew that I would fail Him 05:49 but He took the loss. 05:54 And He knows my name. 05:58 Every step that I take, 06:02 every move that I make, 06:05 every tear that I cry. 06:09 And He knows my name. 06:12 When I'm overwhelmed by the pain 06:16 and can't see the light of day 06:20 I know I'll be just fine 06:24 'cause He knows my name. 06:28 When I'm overwhelmed by the pain 06:32 and can't see the light of day 06:36 I know I'll be just fine 06:43 'cause He knows my name. 06:54 Thank you, Melody. 06:56 It's my privilege to introduce Pastor John Lomacang. 07:00 He's my pastor, and I love this guy like a brother. 07:03 He is a brother in the Lord. 07:05 Love and respect you, John, 07:07 tremendously. You and your wife Angie. 07:08 Thank you, Danny, appreciate it so much. 07:09 You guys are incredible people. 07:11 Man, are you dressed tonight. Look at that. 07:14 Whoa... look at this. I heard you were wearing a jacket. 07:16 Look at this... have mercy. 07:17 I decided to represent Texas tonight. 07:20 I know. I've only worn a tie three times 07:23 and two of them was because he said I had to. 07:25 I went to black churches and they said: 07:26 "You're going to wear a tie when you go to black churches. " 07:29 Then I had the privilege of going to the White House 07:31 and meeting President Bush a few years ago 07:33 and they said: "When you come here you're going to see 07:35 the president; you wear a tie. " 07:37 Now you didn't get the connection. He went to 07:38 black churches and to the White House, and in both places 07:41 he had to wear a tie. 07:43 I got it now... I'm a little slow! 07:45 So... a little slow. 07:47 But seriously, I love you, I respect you tremendously. 07:50 And you have been an incredible blessing to the ministry 07:53 of 3ABN... to Thompsonville. This is your church: 07:56 Thompsonville Seventh-day Adventist Church. 07:58 And not only does John have the gift. He's a counselor... 08:02 many things that he does. But he has an incredible gift 08:04 for music, and you're one of my favorite all-time singers. 08:07 Thank you, Danny. God bless you. 08:09 You know I was thinking... I'm taking a risk right now 08:13 because I've just learned a song that has just so touched 08:15 my heart. You know, sometimes you pray 08:19 and even though you pray 08:22 the trial still comes. Have you ever had that experience? 08:25 And you wonder: "Lord, I prayed; I pleaded with You. 08:29 I was on my knees. Still, I ended up in the lion's den. 08:33 Still, I ended up in the fiery furnace. 08:36 What's the purpose for praying? " 08:39 Well, I've discovered in my life after going on 25 years 08:43 of ministry that sometimes the trials that come our way 08:46 are God's appointment for the shaping and developing 08:51 of our lives. And so when we look back at those trials 08:56 we discover that they are no small blessing 08:58 but they are a tremendous blessing because they have 09:01 brought us closer to the Lord. 09:03 Tonight, there's somebody... 09:05 there's always someone going through a trial; 09:06 there's always someone going through that point in their life 09:09 where they question. But tonight I pray that this song 09:12 encourages you that some of your most severe trials 09:16 will one day become some of your greatest blessings. 09:26 We pray for blessing. 09:29 We pray for peace. 09:34 We pray for family... 09:37 protection while we sleep. 09:42 We pray for healing... 09:46 Your voice to hear. 09:50 We pray Your healing hand 09:54 to heal all our fears. 09:58 And all the while 10:02 You hear each spoken need. 10:06 You love us way too much 10:09 to give us lesser things. 10:13 So what if Your blessings come through raindrops? 10:18 What if Your healing comes through tears? 10:22 What if a thousand sleepless nights are what it takes 10:28 to know You're near? 10:32 And what if trials of this life 10:37 are Your mercies in disguise? 10:48 We pray for wisdom... 10:52 Your voice to hear. 10:57 We cry in anger when 11:00 we cannot feel You near. 11:05 We ask... we doubt Your goodness, 11:09 we doubt Your love 11:12 as if every promise from Your Word 11:17 is not enough. 11:20 And all the while 11:25 You hear each desperate plea. 11:28 You long that we have faith 11:32 to believe. 11:36 What if Your blessings come through raindrops? 11:41 What if Your healing comes through tears? 11:45 What if a thousand sleepless nights are what it takes 11:50 to know You're near? 11:55 And what if trials of this life 11:59 are Your mercies in disguise? 12:07 When friends betray us. 12:11 When darkness seems to win 12:14 we know the pain reminds this heart 12:19 this is not... 12:21 this is not our home. 12:30 'Cause what if the blessings come through raindrops? 12:35 What if the healing comes through tears? 12:39 What if a thousand sleepless nights are what it takes 12:45 to know You're near? 12:47 What if my greatest disappointments, 12:51 all the achings of this life, 12:55 is the revealing of a deeper truth: 13:00 this world can't satisfy. 13:05 And what if trials of this life - 13:10 the rain, the storm, the darkest nights - 13:14 are Your mercies 13:18 in disguise? 13:25 Hmmm? 13:34 Amen. 13:36 Amen! Thank you, John. 13:38 My privilege now to introduce Reggie and Ladye Love Smith. 13:42 And if ya'll would come on out. 13:44 These folk... How many of you have heard the Pillars Project? 13:47 Did you hear the Pillars? Well these are the singers. 13:50 Reggie and his wife Ladye Love. 13:53 And uh... oh, yeah, she's coming. 13:55 She's coming. Yeah. See how lost he is without you? 13:58 He immediately was looking back like "where is she? " 14:01 Yeah, "where is she? " And these are great, great friends. 14:05 And if any of you watch the Gather things 14:07 you've probably seen them a lot on that. 14:10 You do... You guys do... I called the other night 14:12 and they said "Well, they're at the Opry, the Grand Old Opry 14:14 singing. " And you guys sing all over the world 14:17 and you sing for a lot of people. 14:19 In fact, they were in the studio all day 14:21 singing all day and they're here tonight singing because 14:23 they're... At 3ABN we're doing a Christmas album 14:27 actually of music, and so they're doing the background 14:31 singing. And they stack their voices so over and over 14:34 so you can end up with a choir if you need be. 14:36 And you've got Kim with you and sometimes Yvonne. 14:40 But she's so busy she couldn't sing with you today. 14:42 But anyway... So we're glad that ya'll are here. 14:46 Tell us a little bit... Ladye, come up here. 14:48 Don't be bashful 'cause I am. 14:50 Come up here and tell us a little bit about you guys. 14:52 Where are you from? 14:53 Well we live in Nashville, Tennessee. 14:55 We've been there many years. 14:56 Originally from Mississippi. 14:58 And we have a little boy who comes a lot with us. 15:00 He's usually here with us. His name's Brett, 15:02 and he just turned 9... which I cannot believe. 15:05 I know it; I know it. He's a wonderful kid. 15:07 And he sings on a song. You guys actually do some 15:11 music together. That's right. And Reggie just sang... 15:13 actually wrote a little song for the One Day Church 15:17 for Maranatha, and Reggie is the voice on that. 15:21 So you can... there's a number of songs we put together... 15:24 a whole CD project... for Maranatha to help raise funds 15:27 for the One Day Church. And it says: "The One Day Church 15:30 will last forever when it brings God's family together. 15:34 We can do our part when we give from the heart 15:36 to build a One Day Church. " And so you do that. 15:39 And you all were part with Kim and Yvonne 15:41 and numerous others to do a choir. 15:43 They're doing a video out of that, so 15:45 I appreciate your friendship. 15:47 Appreciate your incredible talent. 15:49 Reggie sang at the General Conference session 15:50 this last year, too. And so we're glad that ya'll are here 15:55 tonight and you're going to be here... They're going to be here 15:56 the whole weekend with us, 15:58 and so they will have product available. 16:00 So you... somewhere... probably haven't had time 16:02 to set up but other than Sabbath hours 16:04 you guys will have product out here. 16:06 So what are you going to do for us tonight? 16:07 I'd like to share a song called 16:09 My Redeemer is Faithful and True. 16:11 OK. All right. Thank you. 16:35 As I look back 16:39 on this road I've traveled 16:46 I've seen so many times 16:50 He's carried me through. 16:57 And if there's one thing 17:01 that I've learned in this life 17:05 it's my Redeemer 17:10 is faithful and true. 17:16 My Redeemer 17:20 is faithful and true. 17:27 And everything that He has said 17:32 He will do. 17:38 And every morning 17:41 His mercies are new. 17:49 My Redeemer 17:52 is faithful and true. 18:00 Oh, oh, oh, oh. 18:07 My heart rejoices 18:11 when I read His promise: 18:18 "There is a place that I'm preparing 18:24 for you. " 18:29 And I know someday I'll see my Lord 18:35 face to face 'cause my Redeemer 18:42 is faithful and true. 18:48 My Redeemer 18:52 is faithful and true. 18:59 And everything that He has said 19:04 He will do. 19:10 And every morning 19:13 His mercies are new. 19:21 'Cause my Redeemer 19:24 is faithful and true. 19:31 And in every situation 19:36 He has proved His love to me. 19:41 When I lack the understanding 19:47 He gives more grace to me. 19:51 My Redeemer 19:55 is faithful and true. 20:03 And everything that He has said 20:08 He will do. 20:14 And every morning 20:18 His mercies are new... 20:24 they're new... 20:31 'Cause my Redeemer, 20:36 our Redeemer, 20:41 our Redeemer 20:44 our Redeemer is faithful 20:50 and true. 21:00 My Redeemer, 21:03 our Redeemer, 21:06 is faithful 21:11 and true. 21:30 Amen. 21:33 Our Redeemer is faithful and true. 21:36 Is that not true? 21:38 Amen. I'm telling you what: there have been many times 21:40 in my life when I have felt His presence 21:44 so much when I needed it... needed it so much. 21:46 How about you? Amen. 21:49 I'm so glad to know that we have a God who loves us 21:51 this way and cares about everything... every need we have 21:55 He cares. And I'm so glad to know that I have that 21:58 blessed assurance... that Jesus is mine. 22:18 Blessed 22:20 assurance, 22:27 Jesus 22:29 is mine! 22:35 O, what 22:38 a foretaste 22:43 of glory 22:45 divine! 22:53 And heir of 22:55 salvation, 23:01 and purchase 23:03 of God, 23:08 And born of 23:11 His Spirit, 23:16 and washed in 23:19 His blood. 23:28 This is my story, 23:33 and this is my song, 23:40 Praising 23:42 my Savior 23:48 all the day 23:51 long; 23:56 This is 23:58 my story, 24:04 and this is 24:07 my song, 24:12 I'm praising 24:15 my Savior 24:21 all the day long. 24:34 Perfect 24:37 submission, 24:43 all is at rest, 24:50 and I in my 24:53 Savior 24:57 am happy and blest; 25:04 And watching 25:07 and waiting, 25:12 and looking above. 25:19 And filled with 25:22 His goodness, 25:27 and washed in His love. 25:35 This is 25:37 my story, 25:43 and this is 25:45 my song, 25:49 Praising 25:51 my Savior 25:57 all the day long; 26:05 And this is 26:08 my story, 26:14 And this is 26:17 my song, 26:21 And I'm praising 26:24 my Savior 26:30 all 26:33 the day long... 26:39 I'm praising 26:43 my Savior 26:50 all 26:53 the day 26:58 long. 27:09 Amen. Thank you. 27:12 Thank you. Before you run off, come over here. 27:14 We're having church, aren't we? We're having church. 27:18 Now, people travel a long distance to see these folks 27:21 when they go, and they have thousands of people 27:23 come to some of their concerts and where they sing. 27:26 But they came here and they said: "There's two people 27:28 we want to meet. " I don't want to embarrass anybody - 27:30 oh, good - she's happy, look at her... 27:32 Two people she wants to meet. 27:34 She wants to meet Ellsworth and Sharon McKee 27:37 'cause she loves Little Debbie. 27:39 Not supposed to say that out loud, Danny. 27:43 Nutty Bars and Swiss Rolls that count. 27:46 Oh boy... oh boy. 27:48 They're here in the audience; raise your hand over there. 27:50 OK, they're... 27:53 They got their daughter to autograph a box for you. 27:57 Oh wow! I'm excited. THE Little Debbie, right? 28:00 THE... Well, she's Debbie. Yeah. 28:03 Debbie... Deborah... there you go. 28:06 She signed it, that's what I heard. So... Wow! 28:08 McKee Foods... I know all about it. 28:11 All right. Well thank you so much and God bless. 28:14 Yeah. They said: "We've got to meet them. " 28:17 I said: "They're here" and they go: 28:18 "We've got to meet these folk. We love them! " 28:21 All right. Well we're going to introduce now 28:23 Pastor C.A. Murray. 28:25 And Pastor Murray has been a great asset. 28:28 He's been here at 3ABN for a number of years. 28:30 He - like Pastor John - wears numerous hats. 28:33 And he's our Production Manager. 28:36 And so programming that you like you can call him 28:39 and tell him; programming you don't 28:40 you can call him and tell him. 28:42 You see what you like or you don't like. 28:44 But Pastor Murray also, many of you have heard him preach, 28:46 and he's done a number of series. 28:48 He's gonna do more, we hope, in the future here. 28:51 And also, one of his talents that he came here that 28:54 I didn't... wasn't aware of that much was your singing. 28:57 And several years ago he invited us... 29:00 they invited Melody and me to New York Conference. 29:03 Thousands of people there and we practiced... 29:06 You know, you know your own songs... you're going... 29:08 So we're singing a song Melody wrote and Mollie said 29:11 "There's a pastor, C.A. Murray, out there. He says 29:14 he's going to sing a trio with you and Melody. " 29:16 I said: "No he isn't! " 29:17 And she goes: "Well, he might be good. " 29:19 I said: "He might even be better than us 29:21 but he doesn't know our... what we're doing. " 29:23 She said: "He says he wants to sing. " 29:25 I said: "No, we don't just go out and do that because 29:27 we're not practiced... we don't do... " 29:29 So I get to the camp ground. The man comes up 29:31 and says "Well, I'm ready to sing with you. " 29:34 And I said: "OK, before we go on. " So we go to the back 29:37 and I say "Play that track. " 29:38 And he sang just like Mollie said he would: very good. 29:43 He knew all the parts; knew the words. 29:45 So we got up and sang it - we did - and every now and then 29:47 when she sings it we still sing with her, don't we? 29:49 And never practice. All right, tell us... 29:51 Never practice, that's right. 29:53 But you still sound like you know what you're doing. 29:55 The Lord is good. That's right. 29:56 Tell us a little bit about your family 29:58 and you've got kids, grandkids, wife, everybody? 30:02 Let us know what's happening. Everybody's here. 30:04 Everybody is here. Wife is here; daughter is here. 30:06 Son's here; grandkids are here; everybody's here. 30:09 They're all here. Family are all here... they in the back... 30:11 Probably in the back. OK. 30:13 Wife is back putting on make-up for everybody. OK. 30:15 But we're all here, yeah. We're so privileged to have 30:18 you and your family here at 3ABN. 30:20 You've been such an incredible blessing to us. 30:22 Thank you so much. And you know I love you too like a brother, 30:24 right? I do... I do. 30:26 Actually beginning to shine a little bit. 30:27 Tell her to put a little make-up right about here. OK. 30:29 Production Manager says I'm shining a little bit. OK. 30:31 I'll talk to them. Maybe that's just that glow, 30:34 you know what I'm saying? 30:35 No it's not. I'm just kidding. All right. 30:39 Several years ago I asked 30:42 Walter Arties, friend and mentor, 30:45 why he always sang slow songs. 30:48 And he said to me that when you sing slow songs 30:51 you have to... your audience has to listen to the words. 30:54 Sometimes when you sing fast music they can get caught up 30:58 in the beat and lose the message. 31:00 So he said: "I always sing slow songs because I want 31:03 people to listen to the words so the song will minister. " 31:07 When I was pastoring in New York I was giving a Bible study 31:12 with a disco group named Chic. 31:14 We ended up baptizing one of the lead singers. 31:17 But I talked with the bassist of that group and I asked him 31:20 about rock music and rap music and all these different kinds 31:23 of music and why young people listen to music so loud. 31:26 He said that modern music was never intended really to be 31:30 listened to. 31:31 Young people feel the music and they turn the volume up 31:35 until the music thumps them in the chest. 31:38 It's not about ears; it's about feeling the music. 31:41 So we put in a very strong bass line 31:44 so that when they turn the music up and it's actually 31:47 thumping them in the chest. And at that point - 31:49 when the music is hitting them - 31:51 the response is visceral and we can say 31:53 anything we want. We can include any message we want 31:57 and it goes right by the gate and directly into the 32:01 consciousness of those young people. And while they're 32:02 listening to our music, " he said, "we control them. " 32:06 And I thought about that: 32:08 why young people listen to the music so very very loud. 32:12 Because it's not about the ears, it's about the feeling. 32:15 It's about the thump in the chest. 32:16 And so when we were having our sound check 32:20 a little bit earlier we noticed that everybody was 32:23 picking slow message music 32:26 and we thought maybe the Holy Spirit is working. 32:28 Maybe God is saying: "I want you to listen to the words 32:31 and the message and not get caught up in the beat 32:33 because we're too late in earth's history for beat. 32:36 Right now it's about message. 32:38 It's about lifting up Jesus. " 32:40 The song is called Is It Any Wonder. 32:42 Is it any wonder that when you think about what God has done 32:46 for us that we want to do so very much for Him? 33:06 When I think how Jesus loves me, 33:11 how He waited patiently, 33:16 even when I turned my back and walked away. 33:23 When He knew I wanted everything 33:27 this world could offer me... 33:32 Well, I guess He knew the price I'd have to pay. 33:38 So He watched me stumble downward, 33:42 saw each compromise I made, 33:46 heard each lie I whispered 33:49 just to get my way. 33:53 Still He waited there to hear me 33:58 when I cried to Him and prayed. 34:02 Then He saved my soul, and that is why I say: 34:08 "Tell me, is it any wonder 34:15 that I love Him 34:19 when you consider all He's done 34:23 for me? 34:27 And is it any wonder 34:31 that I long to do His will 34:36 and let His light shine out for all to see? 34:42 And is it any wonder 34:47 that I praise Him 34:52 each time I think of how 34:55 He's made me free? 34:59 And is it any wonder 35:03 that I've given Him my heart 35:07 when Jesus freely gave His life 35:11 for me? " 35:26 When I think how Jesus loved me, 35:31 how He waited patiently, 35:36 How His arms are stretched to meet me when I run. 35:43 When I'm feeling down and lonely 35:47 how He's there to comfort me. 35:51 In the darkness He becomes my morning sun. 35:58 When I think of how He's healed me, 36:02 how He's touched me in my pain, 36:06 how His gentle hands have wiped my tears away. 36:12 How He's taken every heartache 36:16 and brought happiness again, 36:21 oh I want the world to hear me when I say: 36:27 "Tell me is it any wonder 36:33 that I love Him 36:38 when you consider all He's done for me? 36:45 And is it any wonder 36:49 that I long to do His will 36:53 and let His light shine out for all to see? 36:59 And is it any wonder 37:04 that I praise Him 37:09 each time I think of how 37:12 He's made me free? 37:16 And is it any wonder 37:21 that I've given Him my heart 37:24 when Jesus freely 37:29 gave His life 37:32 for me?

" 43:22 Would you come over to the piano and maybe just play something 43:25 for us? Would you do that? 43:26 He said: "Oh, I don't need to play anything tonight.
