Sermon #B640 -
We are Gonna Make It
00:00:06.80\00:00:20.82
1 Thessalonians 4:16 and 17
00:00:20.85\00:00:24.42
the Word of God says I'm reading
and reciting from the King James
Version of the Bible
00:00:24.45\00:00:29.99
for the Lord what everybody come
on talk to me the Lord what
everybody shall descend from
00:00:30.03\00:00:36.06
heaven with a what everybody
with heaven with a shout, with
the voice of the Arch what?
00:00:36.10\00:00:41.40
and the trump of whom? And the
dead in Christ shall rise what
everybody? Then we which are
00:00:41.44\00:00:48.81
alive and remain shall be caught
up together with them in the
clouds to meet the Lord in the
00:00:48.84\00:00:53.55
what? and so shall we ever
be with the Lord Amen somebody.
00:00:53.58\00:00:59.59
God bless us now as we go into
your word speak for your servant
00:00:59.62\00:01:08.13
heareth and when the appeal time
comes Lord do what you do. Hide
me behind your cross,
00:01:08.16\00:01:14.24
give Jesus all the praise all
the honor and the glory it's in
his name we pray Amen and Amen.
00:01:14.27\00:01:25.05
All right so I tagged our title
today, We're gonna make it.
We're gonna make it.
00:01:25.08\00:01:36.73
Alright let's begin this way. Go
with me on a road trip with the
00:01:36.76\00:01:47.00
Byrd family, our car is packed
with luggage, snacks have been
packed, by my wife Danielle,
00:01:47.04\00:01:57.68
because when I go on a road trip
I don't believe in stopping
[Congregation: Laughing.]
00:01:57.71\00:02:10.43
I don't believe in stopping
except for gas. If you ever go
with me on a road trip Dr.
00:02:10.46\00:02:20.57
Johnson. My car that I drive
does not stop for food, does not
stop for shopping, no stopping
00:02:20.60\00:02:31.01
because I'm trying to get where
I'm trying to go and I don't
have time for stopping.
00:02:31.05\00:02:37.79
So if you ever ride with me and
you have to use the bathroom you
better go before we go.
00:02:37.82\00:02:42.02
Congregation: [Laughing]
00:02:42.06\00:02:44.29
And hold it until it's time to
stop for gas. Do I have a
witness in this place?
00:02:44.33\00:02:55.40
[Congregation: Clapping] So, go
with me brother Nickels on a
road trip with Byrd's.
00:02:55.44\00:03:00.74
There are five people in the
car, Danielle my wife, Christyn,
00:03:00.78\00:03:10.25
Caileigh, Carissa and I are in
the car. I'm driving Danielle's
sleeping, Christyn sleeping,
00:03:10.29\00:03:24.80
Caileigh on her phone and
Carissa is watching a movie on
00:03:24.83\00:03:30.07
her iPad. Everything is going
smoothly until my gas lights
comes on, on my car. Now I see
00:03:30.11\00:03:43.35
it but everyone is sleep or busy
in the car and I'm rolling at 85
miles an hour. [Congregation:
00:03:43.39\00:03:56.40
Laughing]. Jesus said lo I will
be with you always.
[Congregation: [laughing]
00:03:56.43\00:04:02.24
[clapping]. I'm rolling at 85
miles an hour and I don't want
to stop I'm trying to make good
00:04:02.27\00:04:11.28
time and I'm playing a game with
my GPS that tells me I will make
it at a certain time.
00:04:11.31\00:04:18.75
so I'll trying to crisscross
--you know what I'm talk about?
I'm trying to beat my GPS
00:04:18.79\00:04:24.83
so I gotta keep it moving. Do
I have a witness at his place?
00:04:24.86\00:04:27.96
Brothers come on say amen. All
of a sudden Danielle, who was
asleep, turns over wakes up
00:04:27.96\00:04:40.74
and says," how long has that gas
light been on?" [Congregation:
00:04:40.78\00:04:46.88
[Laughing] . Now I'm singing
with the gospel CD that's being
played in the car. Danielle
00:04:46.92\00:04:55.96
says, "I know you heard me, how
long has that Gaslight been on?"
All of a sudden pastor,
00:04:55.99\00:05:06.40
I hear a backseat
chorus of women, in the car.
00:05:06.43\00:05:12.64
Daddy how long has that light
been on?  I respond not too
00:05:12.67\00:05:24.45
long. Now you need to understand
we are traveling south on
00:05:2
