01:00:18 Share

I was a little concern that I was too old for social dallas, but I see that god has me here for a reason. There is an area of my life that god has new social to impact. I met my wife and even proposed at social. Before social, we were just living in the world day to day without a purpose.

We thought that was IT for life, just going out, party, drinking. And there was much more than that. I don't know that our marriage would even survive. IT wouldn't have survived.

I never were walking down to the toyota nervous set of my mind. I'm sitting down in past Robert. You never knows who can be on the last day.

Every sunday was my last day. The doctor told us we had a one percent chance of conceiving naturally, and that was devastating. Yes, we went to connect group, and they just upon us, and they pray for us.

And he wasn't just that one time IT was possible time, or one day we were walking him to social dallas, and they gave us these papers. I will believe you and faith that one day and I decided to write down, we will conceive a child naturally. And today is that one day we revelers consume maturity, no treatments, no I U I, no I V F.

And we're so grateful for the prayers of our make group social dallas. For this miracle, social kids have been super important in our family. My Youngest grandson is is inspect. Um he's learning so much in kids church to the point now where he wants to Carry his bible to school and he's inviting kids from his class to church all the time.

We were desperate for community. We were desperate um to have a relationship with god. Social was a place where we began to serve and we began to get plugged into the church, meeting new people. And that's .

where our life change, marriage strong that we've ever had, and we have purpose. now. October twenty two, I made my forth in that suicide is now march twenty twenty four, got to free me from suicide, preying from depression in anxiety. I've nervous. So loved the I am how I became the person I dreamed I could be.

Because of social and the ministry, what we're doing, seeing how we are actually impacting galaxy, the lives and the stories that we hear and like, oh my goodness, like we truly are doing something here, is about .

loving people.

Fateful, we must be I lowe gateway for bringing easily river. The first day for night is nine and and he is especially cleaning cloth and is a bird and all this.

SHE is a surprise today. I'll come on if you're aren't shake of what you can do Better than that. Do you see what we got and do you see how thanks for we must be? Come on.

I wish somebody would give a got some place like that was your sister, your cousin or your friend of the screen, give the testimony of the facebook of the goodness of the vacuous transforming power of our, and see what we got. You can be seated. You can be seated.

Wow, wow, wow. What I love about their video is those are just some of the stories of life change that has happened within our church. And i'm willin to bet anything that I could pass this microphone so many of you will give testimony of how god has transformed your life here at social and still in P.

T. This earlier. The day that we stop having stories of jesus change in people's lives is the day that we will just close our doors.

This is what is all about, and never undesired, ate the power of your story. The power of your testimony saw today's gonna be an incredible, incredible day. I'm glad you're here. welcome. Welcome to vision sunday.

Yes, welcome to vision sunday. Um as P R just mentioned, when the stories stop, we should close our door because there's power in our stories. And this is jesus is the reason that we are here and that we choose to continued to play and pave wave for people to counter cries.

Because I know that I was once extremely lost and broken and confused. And IT was jesus that met me and the local church that provided space for me. And now I stand as a living testimony of the freedom and the power of who god is and said, the stories is the the gift IT keeps on giving. And so when you look at and you hear these stories, I don't just stop there. We actually you hear about addison, addison, where you at, I know you're .

in the room from row.

There you go. Addison, you would say that he, I wish you could even hear the layers to that story. But addison, and you see the trucks, god loves dallas.

You see the the chairs are set up today, and and the envoy pes are on every chair. Edison actually been faithful behind the scene, setting up the choice, tearing IT down, and now truly round of a lot. The big deal.

And you hear that Edison was once suicidal and now we celebrate because he's on staff at social dallas. Hi, as a facilities care director, he make sure that the trucks are good and all the things are good. And so to hear that, we were able to provide a space for him to be set free from suicidal thoughts for attempts, what are we talking about? Look at the godness and the faithfulness of god.

Absolutely incredible. The stories to keep going, that's what I love about their video with god is always to be continued. And mj, mj, are you hear, come out there he is, I love your story in jane, he said he thought he was too old for social dallas, which is that sometimes people .

come and they're.

I don't know, have you know the end? My always try to tell you some type of store, you too. Oh, now you too Young.

You do this, you do that. Now we truly want a church that is a preview of heaven. And to see mj, the impact of your life in this community.

And only that, your son and your grandson getting baptize, that is what is all about legacy and generations are being exchanged. So thank you for being a part of this community. I mean, the stories keep on going.

I know that you saw on there a codeine and britany lions, are you? I think they're going to be in the services. Come on, the miracle baby.

Come on. When we film that video, SHE was printed. But come on, can we see beautiful baby?

Alora, yeah, that's a miracle baby. I wish you would give god praise. Like you saw a miracle is incredibly incredible. Is actually not uncommon here.

social dance of heard story of the story of individuals that were walking through infertility and just believe in god for a miracle maybe. And i've heard story after story of god actually doing just that in this house, even omar, and come .

on.

They specially of more, he pulled me to the side a few weeks ago and just let let me know, and almost tackled him. I was so happy, that weird, right? But I was so excited.

And they've actually been believed in the lord and been on a journey of having a baby. And so there, I think, headed into the other traumas. Ter and said, we just want to get to celebrate the good ness of god and our another miracle social baby.

Absolutely so many miracles. And so this is visions sunday. Do me a favor, ligature neighbor, whatever, when you like the best, and just tell a neighbor.

Come on. Tell them neighed is vision sunday. Now look at the neighbor ignored. Come on.

Say, are the neighbor in my second option? Would you gotta know? Is visions on that? what? What in the world does IT that mean? Well, first of all, this is something that we started with within our community to pause, and first of all, reflect on the goodness of god, but also look with the anticipation for what god has ahead of us.

And so that's why is so important that we have vision sunday. Now every sunday as social is incredible. But today, as you noticed, is going to feel a little bit different. That's why we have this set up here today because it's going to feel more like a family talk today is a family talk today. And I just believe the churches is not supposed to feel like a country club that you join, is actually supposed to feel like a family where you belong.

And so you picked a good day to come to social and visit sunday because we are going to reflect on all that god is done, not just this year, within the history of our church, and we are going to look ahead to what god has for us. Now, I know something, I know something. I know somewhere you like past I income here about IT.

Okay, I came to get a word from god. Don't you got a script? A or something? Well, yes, I do. I'm to show you.

While what we're doing today is not only necessary, but IT is biblical, I want to to set the tone and look at the book of backache. He, come on, we go all the way to the old testament. Look at the book of her backache.

And I want us to look at chapter number two and look at versus one through three. And this is why we're doing vision sunday because there's a biblical precedent for IT habitat chapter to now before even read IT, let me give you a little context of the book of habita c. This this is a culture that's hard for us to relate to her back as I was completely different.

There was political tension and division. Um there was there was economic turmoil. Um there there was a moral decline, decay. So IT just a different day then then we have today.

And hobby c says, lord, if you're so good, what to do something about this? Why don't you change IT? And so he starts having a conversation with the lord and look at what he says.

He says, I will take my stand at my watch post and stationed myself on the tower and look, oh, vision, look out to see what he will say to me and what I will answer concerning my complaint. And the lord answered me, how do you thankful they got answers? He says, right, the vision make IT playing on tablets so he may run who reads IT for still the visions awaited.

It's a pointed time. IT happens to the APP. IT will not like, if IT seems slow, wait for IT. IT will surely come.

IT will not delay anybody who's ever been waiting on something that come to pass out to take that verse right there, because god gives her back up a word and says, hey, first of all, write the vision down and make IT play. And the vision is not for now. The vision is for next.

The vision will come to pass. And so we're going to talk about the vision of social baLance. But I hope you get this verse in your spirit, and you take this day into your heart to know that you need a vision.

Yeah, you need a vision for your life. You need a vision for your family. You need a vision for your future.

You need a vision that guides and direct your life. A vision is critical and necessary. There's a scripture and proverb that says, where there is no vision, the people cast staff restraint. And one version is they perish. In other words, there's something about a vision that actually will restrict what I do.

There's something about A A vision that over strict, where I go, what I say, because i'm being laid by a vision, think we share with you that we stepped out and we are home school in this year. You look at two home school teachers on this day and IT just so happens leading up division sunday are, uh son is study the life of Helen keller and Helen Kelly said something about vision. SHE said, the only thing worse than being blind is having sight with no vision, to not know where you're going to not have a vision.

The enemy would love for you to just have acceleration in your life, but not be going anywhere. But you need a vision of vision is necessary. And we're going to talk about the vision of social download before even get into that.

I want you to elbow the person makes you want more time. So you need a vision. Now here's a more important question.

Where are you getting your vision? Are you getting from tiktok? Don't wonder you about to have a nervous breakdown.

Are you getting the vision for your life from instagram, from what was modeled in your home, for what you see on TV? Where are you getting your vision? I want to argue you should get your vision from where her becket got his vision from god.

Get your vision from the Laurent. And since social dances inception, this has always been god's vision. Let me tell you something. This was not our idea or our vision. This was god.

And here's what i've learned about vision, and especially how god gives IT you ready? I got inspired because we have this beautiful set up. How do you know god does not give vision like a restoration hardware? He gives vision like, I kear.

I wish god gave vision like a restoration. Harry, have you ever been a restoration? Harwood, if you have, and ask only your boje friends wish.

I wish god gave vision like restoration. Harvard, because this place is incredible. I need you walk in there.

They have this incredible set up, incredible living areas as space as you will be inspired when you see the space. And are you going to do a reservation hargrew when you get a vision of the space? If you want that in your life, you go, I want IT.

You got to pay like a million dollars. You say, I want that you can even go upstairs to the restaurant and have secretary and they will deliver IT to your house the same set up. You thought they will deliver IT White glove delivery to your house set up.

That is not how god gives vision. And notice how you want IT like, oh my god, look at their marriage. I want that.

Oh, my good is look at that incredible life. They act. God, just, just White glove delivered.

God didn't do IT like that. He doesn't. I kia, have you been to iria beautiful set up? They don't do the delivery service. You've got to go to the ale fine, where IT is, grab those boxes, put in in your car and then open the directions. They even got worse than just pictures of people set up stuff.

And you try to figure out where does this go and does this go, but this don't even look like as a part of the box. And here you are struggling because god will not allow you not to partner with him for the vision that he's going to accomplish your life. There's something in the building.

There's something in the atomic page three, and they should have put an extra score in this law. Please help me. There's something in that process.

The god cultivates a dependency on him. And so that's been the story of our church. And so I don't ever get IT twisted.

See people come to social and they see this show, that picture. Wow, that's crazy. That is texas trust. Over three thousand a year that showed up at texas trust are twelve from you in three years.

And people look at there are post at that pictures so you know, preach, they will post the right angle on. My past of friends was like, how many people were that eight thousand? I like, look like you don't need.

But that's not how we started. That's not how it's not that's twenty twenty four. Can we go back to twenty nineteen? You can see the crowd, but not much in there.

That's that's where IT started. And I was taking a step of faith that I trust the vision that you placed in our heart. And so I think a lot of people don't even know the story.

They stepped in towards the end. But could you take us back to those moments, even just social night, before our church ever launched in two and twenty one? What I was like at the beginning? What do you remember from this?

Well, that's loaded. I might do. We have an hour to or no, no. But no. IT was actually, I would say, the most beautiful journey um I love with god, right when you feel like you've mastered fah or hope all the side and he now stretches you, takes you into deeper waters and IT stretches your faith and takes you to new levels and I would say we were very comfortable on the road, right?

You were eventually alizon traveling the world, seeing the world, and all of a sudden, out of nowhere, god says, I want you to start a church and dallas. But we kept restless with that, like surely night we're on the road. We have ansel across the world, across the oceans, high ways and ways there and he continued to speak and make an evident over time that we were called to plan a charge and social um in the heart of the city.

So as far as what that looks like, I think um to summer as IT IT was as being faithful even though IT was hard, IT was scary. We didn't know where the money was going to come from. Let's start there.

We actually funded social daleys as a family which is amazing. No one knows that, and I don't say that in a bragin way. I say that in truly IT was uncomfortable and often god cause us to do things when he calls us.

It's not always comfortable, and I think we're looking for something comfortable, and that's not always the case when IT comes to god's call and said we were funding social daleys, I think we stepped out with like two thousand plus dollars and the gare, not a theatre, causes eight thousand. And so we were like, what is happening? We didn't have insurance in these streets.

okay. I'm going to get real with this because you think that we just got here overnight. But I believe that as leaders, what makes good leaders and healthy leaders is actually humble leaders.

And god allowed us to go first. Go first with our time. Go first with our heart. Go first with our giving, go first and doing the hard thing.

So me and my kids were the in an, I would loaded up my gmc, my kids, i'm like get that camera. I charged the cameras for production. They used to call me and be like happy to IT is ten minutes before service.

We need the batteries for the cameras. I'm like on my way. And so IT IT was interesting and IT wasn't always super easy. Or I would say IT definitely had its chAllenges, but I would also say it's been the most beautiful adventure and I love who we have become because of those hard days. I don't think we would be who we are, or that god could trust with where we are if we had not done the hard thing early on.

Come on, and I save that because this is my prayer of this vision sunday that you would see your story and in our story, because a lot of people see you are beginning, but they have no idea what is to get IT started. This beyond is no senores m picture looks cute when IT starts. You like, where's the baby at? You can do.

But that's how got first things and that's how our church began. And it's been three years. And I just want to show you, we started with those stories because stories are powerful.

There's one writer that says, if you tell me a fact, i'll learn. If you tell me the truth, i'll believe, but if you tell me a story, IT live my heart forever. And so I wanted to start with the stories before I show you some stats, because you need to know them.

Behind every one of these stats is somebody's story, but I just want to show you, on these visions sunday, the miracle that you are sitting in and shut out to our incredible stats team and our amazing CFO that was able to put all this together. But I just want to show you what, take those six collapse. See how you will care about the stitches wow but now when I want you to see numerically ally the miracle that you're sitting in, let's just start with baptizes makes a nose if you've been baptize this social dallas.

Since social dallas launched in twenty twenty one years, we are glad to celebrate that one thousand, three hundred and seven people have a bad tok you this year alone, six hundred and eight people at draw square with people in the haris is gone, one of the world. And down there got baptize in a such an amazing testimony of people gone public with their faith and saying, and i'm going from death to life and once a more come on, check this out since social downers has started, nine thousand, three hundred and fifty seven people have said yes to cheese us. I will give you a chance to shout like, you know what that means. Nine thousand, three hundred and fifty seven thousand .

people .

have said yes to jesus. And i'm telling you, we can spend the rest of our life standing at the gateway of hail and read, directing traffic to have him nine thousand three hundred and fifty seven people. Just this year alone, two thousand six hundred and forty seven people have said yes to jesus.

And well, that's just counting in the room. That's not even counting people on line, but check this out. You know, social is on panado. Do I have that panda? Let me explain what panda is to me.

This one, the greatest things our church does, every single one of our services are able to go on the panda APP and inmates are able to watch our services every single week. I believe socials in the top ten of all churches on pano, APP. And yet two thousand, two hundred and seventeen people who have watched that are incarcerated have given a life to jesus.

I love IT because people will literally get out of prison and theyve been watching social on the panda APP and they literally show up on sunday like ready to go where their first stop. Once it's out of raze, it's just beautiful.

And we get letters every week. And I tell you, I I don't look at the low the low basement of the eloge ans they tried to break down you're sermon because they even watch the hold, but they just saw one clip.

I will look at those comments, but i'm telling i'll read the letters that we get from so many different people who are in prison just and thank you for being a church that bringing us the gospel and I want to thank you for your generous ity that makes that possible selves so much to celebrate what else? What else? Yeah global views.

Yeah, you doubt you are only one in the room, ten thousand, eight hundred and fifty people this year alone on average, or watching church every sunday. That's why you ought to smile someday. I don't know they can we do camera shots so you Better to fake IT and look spiritual somehow? Like, don't look like you love jesus in your face, but ten thousand people, thousand people are watching you. Just unbelievable to see for look two seventy five, when we started despise, not the day of small.

No, take you .

back to I.

A L phone and I ipad for real. That was one sunday. I was pretty discouraging, but we were like, now the lord called us to do this, so we pressed .

through i'm proud of .

me for impressed through redid IT.

Well, let's go. What first time guess you can see there come? I feel sure your first time. Would you stand up one more time? We so .

glebes you.

I love and I love, and I know you got somebody that smile that you, when you walk in, if they didn't, they don't go here. What else? What else? Social kids shout out. Social kids happened right now, every single sunday, one hundred and thirty six and in eight babies at this club. We are in parting life to the next generation.

And we cap at fourth grade because we need more space. We more place is one hundred and thirty because we have to cap. If we didn't cat, we'd have just very all over the campus.

Got you so good. What else sunday attend? It's your three thousand and ninety eight people call social values.

Hold on average. It's pretty incredible. Pretty incredible. What else? What else keep going? Come on that. May you not want out of time? Uh, look at this.

I want you to see um the power of generosity when our core values is that we Operate in generosity. We are constantly looking for opportunities to go first and giving. We know god has been so good to us, so it's our joy to give.

I want you to see all the different organizations. And we have been able, as a church, to be a blessing to because of your generosity. A lot of those are even churches who need buildings and spaces.

And we had even had wonder, we say, you know what we're so and where we're going. So we're so on in to you from church in nigeria to hear to different ministries. It's been pretty credible to see all the god is done, lets you go and watch this.

Is the changing watch this step? May I want you want to see how our genotype has grown that could go out a theater? I would say about faith.

You ever says something about faith? You're like i'm saying IT. But is IT going happen?

I said, this church will give away millions of dollars and I am so happy to say that since we started social alysa given away two million and eighty four thousand eight hundred and twenty four dollars. Yeah, that is a miracle, some miracle. And you can see IT started in twenty twenty one.

We didn't wait to the budget out bigger to start give IT. We started when the church started Operating a generosity. You can go to the mix.

And I just want to choose to see just the growth. So our general ties and offerings have increased four hundred and ninety four percent since we started. Thank you for being in a generalist charge.

Our number of givers has increased since we started, one hundred and eighty two percent. Thank for being the generous charge. Our sunday attendance yet has increased three hundred and thirty eight percent. Now hello, some I clapped like, you understand what that is, three hundred and thirty eight percent.

Any business people in the own, any business people OK you smart business people would know that in the business world, what they would deem chaotic growth would be fifteen to twenty percent per year, fitting to twenty our church. Increase three hundred and thirty that be on chaotic growth. So if you've ever been on when they going to get that and how come they can do that, why didn't they tell us that we build the playing while we fly IT IT.

right?

Sometimes people say they want a miracle and they don't know. Sometimes the chaos that comes with a miracle. It's like when jess says to your n nets on the other side, yeah, we caught the fish, but the disciples net started breaking and their boats started thinking.

And when I sure all of them could swim, yah, miracles have a burden. I talked about that last week. So I want you to see that IT increased three hundred and thirty eight percent.

Now this is a miracle. But with every miracle come something else. Venue and production runners have increased two thousand nine hundred and seventy nine percent. I appreciate those three walls.

Because you, that's the war that keeps me up yeah, at night because I don't know how many times we be praying and say, god, you've done this miracle, but we need a space. Yeah, we need a home. Our church has always been a house of prayer, a house of presence and a house for people.

Yeah, but our prayer has been, god, you're doing that, but we need a home. Yeah and so we've played like, IT depends on god because he does yeah and we've worked and sought out like IT depended on us because you need both. So you, anna, see something.

你 好 冷。 How you know, how you know like, how you know like a church, a church that that has something. There's more than a slogan, god loves dallas. If this, like examples like this, should be in the heart of the city, you know? It's what we thought what we thought .

thought put that .

here we thought is what thought .

that is the Y M C. We been on the channel. We in china.

that's the ymca. That's not our building. But behind the sales, we thought I was yeah, I will never forget when that building was available and they we're talking that was available for, say, and we got excited.

And then all the sudden, I was off the market set out. Now we didn't went back on the market. All we were in a board meeting with the people from the Y.

M. C. N. We're like this is that we had archives plans. And then once they got all the players, they say, yeah, you could probably IT about thirteen hundred people in there. So well, well, as the first service.

Then they say, well, yeah, parking, you probably have maybe four hundred parking in spots. I said, do you know what the line is right now? I've seen some of the words that come out of the house.

Now we all. And I said, we got, do more than that on parking. So that was one of those things.

Where is like, is that IT now? A sudden, IT IT fell through, though the vision theories wait for then. Then there was another building, write down the street from my headquarters, called the Andrews building.

This is where they used to all the beer and baLance. And yeah, I was about to approach that thing in the incredible that a place that used to distribute beer is now distributed. The gospel of jesus, all I was already for yeah, we got drone footage because I almost showed this drone footage on birthday this year. But I was like, well, let me wait to the deal is even close then got to show you out their footage would have been look at at me like habit one building, i'm like where where her habit was that was in a flood zone.

But also you got, you gotta show him we got our hopes OK. Okay, because we were even walking .

to that building and look .

what what that was. They had old school mailboxes and names, and all of them had been torn off, except that I like to.

They plan the devil. Give me, you look, all the boxes like this is like that failed through, failed through fail.

failed through .

failure. That was IT IT. And we get prayer. Yes, we get sick of the vision theory, wait for. And now we stand at a moment with an opportunity can look what could be. So we show on a picture.

A picture of a picture is nice. I will make a picture.

I say a pictures is worth of thousands of words, but I wondering what a video is worth. Maybe like a million social millis fame in the room, social globe watch inal line, I want you to lean in and look at what could be.

Let's look back, shall we, social dallas? What started as a monthly gathered quickly turned into something more, a mobile church on a mission to let everyone know that god loves dance. Year after a year, twelve different venues, always looking for a place to call home until.

You see.

Look what could be.

Somebody give that, you 让。

把 谁 和 我 开 了 那天。

Thank you to go the glory. For the miracle that we stand on the edge of, look what could be, look what could be. Could you make one favor? I want you to just take your seat, if you can. I promise.

What about to this space? But I am. I stand in all. The faithful is got to lead us to this moment.

And though you need to know the heart of your pastors as we really a bark on a journey, IT is our heart that god let us to this moment I know is going to take care of every detail, but I also wanted just Operate them. Clarity and integrity. Here's was incredible.

And twenty and twenty two, and we were looking at for offices. We walked this property just so, you know, this is what was the look theater on technology, bull of art in northwest Alice. To the left is what used to be the gas monkey event center.

And so when we were looking for offices, I got a call and they said, hey, there's is a vince center that might work for you guys. Come look at IT. So pt, and I got in the call like batman and drove, and we walked that building this to the left.

That was just the events. It's about thirty thousand graphing. And as we walked and I said, this is good, but I don't think this is big enough.

Like, I love this parking, and I look to the left and I said, if that movie that I would just shut down. To speaks of things. I.

Like the movie did a wish. Now that would work well, about a month and a half ago, we got where they move. Theatre wouldn't be an Operation in any more.

And IT was not even for sale. IT was for lease. And so we started praying and put them offers. But when back and forth we ve agreed on an offer that was accepted. Come on, so 吧。

Come on, somebody on the vegetating wait for IT. IT was for sale. IT was at least look at what not there. An offer was accepted and we went back. And fourth, and by the Grace of god, we will be under contract next week.

Have to tell you. This space in this place and the potential of what god can do in this area. I won't borrow you with all the details that i've been nursing out, but that used to be the abc grand.

It's on a record that was one of the largest IT was the largest 3 plex in the history of united states， nineteen ninety. Fables is open a day and their tag is gone, be big. And they even though I put them screens, that IT would be our church one day.

And we have an opportunity, have an opportunity. And because IT costs nothing to dream, they come up here with me. I just want to to show you some some of things. Did you get different to show how the .

pictures of yeah.

the time for the big space.

We've never had a love. I am excited about our lobby and just lobby. I have lobby were .

driven about the future and be unable to not stop the fourth grade, but you'll go all the way up the social.

To have splash and classes. And we're dream big. We're dream of big. We've already engage what you need to know about your pastors.

Do dilip asking what we ready that are drawing up plans, because this is a movie thing to you. So we would have to make IT a sanctioned. And so big architectures already drawn a plans.

And this is what they just kind of preliminary put out. That would be the space. And how about two thousand six? You can.

It's the parking lot for me is the parking lot for me. But that's what that's what IT could be. But here's the thing. We we have to put our feet in the Jordan river. And when I tell you, we have to put our feet the way in and watch the miracle le take place.

So what you know, as we continue to get details, that we'll get more information about what is gonna to make this space's sexual. But here's what we are right now. The miro is loading just to be another water.

I don't want to the little that in any way the fact that we are here, oh, IT is only the hand of god, only the head of god. I told you you've been nurturing out behind the sense. More details cover, but the people that on this property they acquired IT, not just a month.

The weekend that our church launched is the same weekend they acquire this property. And if you want to showed us that build and when we first started out, smoking knows what he's still when he's let us to this point. So I just want to show you where we are and where our faith needs to be. Actually, you share this about this area. We're quick.

Yes, the area, the area we walked two years ago. And honestly, I wassan excited about IT because I was like, not don't think that we should be here. But even revisiting IT back about two months ago, the holy spirit just began to increase my jillie and my faith and my grid for light in the darkness.

And I think if any church can go and truly be light in the darkness is social dallas. Um if I can say this in the most humble way, we're just different. Um we're different. We move differently. We set up, we turned out differently.

And I think that the lord has, as he prepared us as leaders to lead this space, this house, I think in the same way he's been preparing the people, all of you, for us to set the table for those that are gonna, whenever the sound. So from day, when we've been declaring that the sound that comes from this house is a sound of freedom and salvation and restoration for the broken, for the loss, for the addix for, or go on the list. And so I actually had a friend, and I reached out and said, hey, tell me more about this.

Zipped coach said, congratulations, my friend, you're in the number one zip code for jokes, for prostitution, for human trafficking. God is sent you there to save a city. So we've been declaring that of god loves dance and now we're moving and god is taking a to a place to declare, to transform in area for his name.

There's some there that is waiting on us to come home, is on the way, is on the way. Not not forget you not 不敢， you know for saying, but we are coming at the house rAiling as not as the health of the army to take that terrors to the king of and the king. The king right now have no power, have no in the social dis is the way.

Hope is on the way. Hope is on the way. Again, we could just, just be said, I am promise about to get out here.

But we're at a we're at a critical juncture. Where is going to take all of us, all of us doing our part, this part. So I want you to see I want you to see what could be what could be.

As I say, we're still in the details of what is going to be to make this space a sanctuary, but to acquire what was the look theatre. We are looking at fifteen point five million dollars for this poverty, which is really incredible for the space that that's the really test club. And right there, why for eight doors and they know it's going to be a fifty point five million for us to require this property.

This next number I want you to see is what we need to close on this property. Three point one million dollars. Nothing is impossible for a three point one million is always ready to close.

Now here's the number i'm really excited about because like I say, that i'm even just coming up here and share the vision of this. I'm aware of the climate of our culture and leadership, and that's what I say where a church that Operates with clarity, with transparency, with integrity. And here's what i'm so proud of because of your generosity and because this church is starship.

We already have one point three million ready to go towards this view as a big, big thank you for the in a church Operated general ity to get trust in us. We have one point three million already to go. And then this is our goal for the next sixty days, everybody raise one point eight million dollars, and that we can secure this space for the glory of god.

Here me, this is bigger than a building. This is bigger than a building. This is just a tool that god is gonna use to reach more people, to give us our own space in our own place.

And i'm just believing that god is going to do incredible things. IT, here's what I want you to do. I'm going to ask you to do what our family is doing.

I'm going to ask you to do two things. I might ask you to pray. And I asked you to prepare what the lord would have you do.

There's a pm plate that if you scan the cure code in front of your seat, IT just kind of shows IT shows the look at the ear that shows just kind of somebody of things that we were able to do this year if you want to pull up off staff has been for the last eight weeks, pray in that part, out to the point of the people in the hotel. And they were like, which I like cold, we like now we just got faith. You've been in the party line.

Print, if you want a physical copy of this, our users, i'll, if you want to come on, we ve got digital and physical. Come on, I H G 没感觉 you want a physical coding。 I'm to ask you to pray, and i'm to ask you to prepare if you've been around social, that as you know, that we in the year with a year and gift, the first year the church we gave IT all the way, but this year were coming to in the year's everybody do something towards social dallas, securing our first whole.

And that's what we'd doing. It's going to take a whole lot of sacrifice and a whole lot of people say, hey, the were original bay. What you tell us to do, there's some of you, which i've talked to.

Some people they're like a pass or december aid is gonna the day that we're actually going to receive this year and give towards this can be the official day. But there's some people like past I have to wait if IT is i'm not waiting to know december a show, you you're able to do that. You can scan the Q R code and you'll see future whole social ballots.

But maybe just to break IT down in a practical, I want to show you what this one point eight, but sometimes I look so big, I want to show you what that could look like and what we got faith for you look like. Four gifts of fifty thousand, eight gifts of twenty five thousand, twenty years of ten, forty years of far. But that's just a practical way that maybe you can look and say, god, what ask me? What do you ask me to do? And that's all I ever ask you to do, is what we're gonna.

I know we are praying and preparing to do something significant and the largest gift that we've ever done because we we believe and what god is setting up our church all, and we've been doing this mobile for twelve different venues. Can you gin what god is going to when we have our own space in our own hole? I just know that the best you yet to come when you want to say something .

yeah I was just think and you know you're I guess we get and thank you for being here. We're so hon, you're hair and there's absolute pressure if you fill in your heart, your move to give great but this like like P R mentioned earlier, this is really a gathering around the table right now. So as a visitor, you're on the cow.

You're just watching us talk and um but we often gather our kids around the table and we first start with what we're grateful for and it's always opportunity for conversation. And so really we wanted to keep you up to date with what god is done and what he's doing in the house. But also we're gona build this thing together.

And so if you consider social home, yeah the best is yet to come. And we need a home. It's like we've been living in going from hotel to hotel in a suitcase and you know there's no place like home, right? And so we want disabled ship classes.

We want to be able to have celebrate recovery for their addicts and the people that just got out of prison and need help. But we need a home to do that. We need a space for classes.

We need a space to to continue to build the next generation. Our our social kids think they set up and turn faithful. I mean, we got toys broken and we want we need new toys and we need all the things.

But it's like that's the reality of mobile church. But I am confident that the lord is going to provide at one point I does know nothing for him. He really isn't like that's the part that i'm not even stressed about.

I'm not even just about IT. Like no, i'm still went on. Millions told you.

I said that two years ago, this is going to check. I know maybe it's me. I don't maybe. I. Think that's my faith, that what my faith is that you know but I just say I know that what what is a head is great and god is going to continue to blow our minds. And so just thank you for being .

another room today ably. And I can say no pressure this small, but I really do want you to pray and ask the holy spirit what you should do. And the temperate is going to be the day that we're all gonna bring our gift, the lower and beef buffet.

This is our space. If here's we're going to include. If you want to give today, you're more than welcome.

We given key l stations throughout code. I want somebody who is a hero to me, and to me personalize walking by faith. To be honest, we're all sitting in his obedience.

Tes, that is, my father passed the robot ce senior, and I want him to come. because. You step out in faith and coming from nigeria to the united states of america, and even though i'm taller than you are, still look up to.

Because I am who I am, because of your leadership, because of the man that you are. So I just want you to pray over us today. Can we all stand all of this place today? And if you want to share something, you cable, would you just closes out of room? you? I thank for the vision that I be shared without this morning.

Know for every vision is a journey to the vision. I'm reminded of the children of israel in the weird, is going to the promise land on the way that the promise land, moses. Pretty pray and pray, pray was, lord, if you don't go with us, we not get to go.

We will not move. Take a step unless you go with us. That is my hard bit this morning.

That is a hard bit of this church. We do not want to go any further unless he goes with us. So for join less good father, we give you glory. We give you Price. We refuse any father unless you go with us.

So god, so what we ask you to vic, also, god with the presence, get every step of god in this journey so that when he said, I don't love, your name would be clarified, you and me would be honored. Or god, thank you for what you are doing to here as social. Or god, thank you for what you are doing the past three years.

OK. Thank you for the blessing of god. Thank you for the chAllenges of god.

But follow. We know god. That is in your strength of god. This is, you are doing god in your strength, we will. That quit you up design.

That quit your purpose before the foundation of the war for this church, for this body of believe us called social dallas. So, but I release this one local, release unity in your body, release unity as social dollars. So my, I.

Was united. I released three of generosity of god over your church, released the spirit of obey. So got so we we hear your voice.

So replace the desire to fill your proposed to do your will action thank you for are going to with thank you that so the source that would be wrong to display of social dallas because of the ministry of this source, will be done to the kingdom of god. Families will be reunited. Gloria, your name, this would be a base of beauty.

The place we are, the name of jesus, would be lifted up. And souls will be drawn to the kingdom. And less where souls will be drawn, the projects will come home. But as read to really the united with child families bound together for the, because of the ministry, less social, go to continue to be a place that would be a bless.

No, go to this community, to this city of the sugar people see the light of the living a shit through the ministry of the church of the leadership of the part of the people in the decision making capacity and released of wisdom, release knowledge, release in sight, release power. So that father, there will be sensitive to your calling. There will be sensitive to your prompts so that G S.
