I Am That I Am 20 min mark

I’m all in all. Now, if you know him to be your all and all. If you know who he’s been to you, when it says all in all, that means whatever you needed him to be, he’s that. Whatever you needed him to be, he’s been that. Whatever I’ve needed him to be, he’s that.

And you might wonder where, where is this coming from? There’s a passage in the Bible in the book of Exodus. The children of Israel were held in captivity. And God called Moses to be the one to go get them. And when Moses said, “Hey, I know you told me to go do this, but who am I supposed to say sent me to go get these people?” Because you know, sometimes you can give somebody some instruction and who told you to tell me that? That’s essentially what he was asking God in that moment.

And God told him, “Tell them, I am that I am has sent you.” So you might be in a situation this morning. You might have come out of a situation this morning. The I am that I am showed up on your behalf. Can you take a moment now that you have an understanding of who that I am is? And give that I am some praise.

The I am that saved you. The I am that healed you. The I am that came to your rescue. The I am that provided for you. The I am that kept you in your right mind. The I am that put food on your table. The I am that gave you the business opportunity. The I am that stepped in when it was time to pay the mortgage. The I am that I am. He’s the I am. He’s whatever you need him to be. He’s whatever I need him to be. He’s the great I am.

And guess what? There’s absolutely nothing too hard for us. Our God is big. He’s so strong and he’s so mighty. And they encouraged us this morning to remind us that there’s absolutely nothing that our God cannot do.

Scholarship Recognition 25 min mark

Lady C. And I come today with something that is uh near and dear to us when it comes to our church, to be able to see uh young lives matriculate, to go through the educational system, to go to college, and to have the opportunity to be able to assist them. And it’s something that’s near to us because it’s uh in honor of our mom, uh her mom and my father who’s going to be in heaven.

Yes. So, one of the um staples that we love about this is both of our parents did not necessarily go forward with higher education in the sense in the traditional sense, but they were very passionate about it and wanted to make sure that we understood for our kids what their desires were when it came to that. And so, we love the fact that we get to honor our babies.

There were several submissions. Uh, students had to submit a written essay in order for the uh, representing board to read over. Huh?

I wouldn’t have made it. Oh, I’m sorry. I said that out loud. How many of y’all graduated school? Thank you, Lord. Come on. Ain’t no Kum Laukum. No. Thank you, Lord. Okay, go ahead. I’m sorry. Go ahead.

Praise the Lord. See, that’s why she doing this part. Yes. So, we would like to honor those that the board found. Absolutely. Um that they chose out of the many, the selections were. It, it was a lot of you know applications that they had but they were able to narrow it down to five receiving participants.

And let me say this. Yeah. Let’s clap for that. This is something that we want to expand. Somebody say expand.

Expand. Um I don’t see Dr. Odell here. But when we came out with this uh vision of this scholarship, he has personally funded this scholarship himself for the past three years and we honor him.

Yeah. Yes. We honored him about a month ago. And so if we can rally around this as a church. Yeah. And not as an individual. And have a week where we don’t, we’re able to honor God in our tithes and offering, but then everything that we raise can go to our scholarships, then we won’t have to necessarily say, “Well, you can’t and you can’t.” We can bless all of our children.

Yes. Are y’all hearing me? So, I don’t want any parents or any youth that didn’t get, wasn’t a recipient to feel less than because I think about it. Your parents, you apply for scholarships in other secular places and you don’t get them and all of the above. But I would love to do more.

And uh there go my pretty mother-in-law, my mama right there, my mother-in-law. And there go my pops. Poke chop sideburns and a goatee and an afro. That’s my dude. So Lady C, it’s on you.

Testimony of transformation 34 min mark

Hi TFC. I’m Naisha. I grew up in a family that practiced witchcraft and voodoo and everything that comes along with it. I’ve also was introduced to different religions like being a Catholic to 78 Venice and then a Hebrew Israelite. I walked away from all of that when I joined TFC. And God has taught me how to be in relationship with him, not to come with performance and rituals. Jesus literally undid all of that and awaken evangelism. So now I used to hate passing out like reach one cards to people and inviting them to church cuz I really didn’t believe in it. But now I have a testimony about how God has healed my heart, how he’s healed my mind, how he’s undone all of it. And I pass out reach one cards and it’s awakened my evangelism.

Surrender 2026 Conference Invitation 51 min mark

Listen ladies, I’m just here to invite you all to an event that is being crafted for you. It’s the surrender 2026 conference. Um, you know, in many cases as wives and shucks, women and and as wives and daughters and friends, we are always driving the car somewhere. We are always in motion. We are always fulfilling something for somebody. We are always running the thing. And so for surrender has been crafted for us. So we can pause for a minute. Stop the car. Get out of the driver’s seat. Move over to the passenger seat. Close the door. Settle in. Put your seat belt on. And all the Lord allow the Lord to drive the car this season from your first lady. I’m I’m saying it to you is a season of kind of just recalibrating, trying to figure out how to stop being in so much control.

Aren’t you tired of being in control? I am. I don’t want to be in control. And so I I believe that when this conference is over, when this two-day event is over, that you will walk away understanding your cooperation with God and allowing him to do all the things that we’ve been trying to do, striving and longing and trying and going. And so I know that Dr. Dr. Sharon Nesbet, Brenda Palmer, they are going to be ministering to you from a place that God has given them. Just for those of you that will be a part of this conference, the investment into yourself will be worth the spiritual renewing and refreshing that you are going to have. And you know, pastor and I always have tricks up our sleeves when it comes to to this house. And so, I invite you to join surrender 26 for me. Will you women’s con? Take out your phone, scan it, or you can go to the TFC app Atlanta and do it at this time. I’ve been through too much not to worship him.

One thing I know about moments like these is we’ll feel the uncction to do it and then we say we’ll get around to it later. One one of the things I want y’all to put the surrender graphic back up there. Thank y’all so much. One of the things I want y’all to understand TFC is that we never run out of vision. We just have to make sure that we have the adequate participation for it. And when you put on a conference of this magnitude, you’re thinking months and months and months in advance. But what happens in the church setting is that we’ll say, “Oh, all right. Yeah.” and the night before we want to register when we’ve used a lot of faith, a lot of resources. And so if you’re attending this conference and you have not registered, seriously, can I get at least a hundred ladies right now that’ll go ahead and scan this? Or if you say, “I can’t go scan it and send the ticket to a sister.” Can y’all do that now for me? Can y’all do I’m a little bit more direct. Um I’m going to support my girl. Yeah, I see phones going out. Thank you so much. I see phones going up.

I’m I’m truly a blessed man. And I’m sitting here and as y’all uh scan this QR code and uh text it and send it to your girlfriend, you know she need to be here so she’ll stop calling you so much in Jesus name. But I’m a blessed man. I get to do ministry uh with my wife who supports me. Um that’s my 78-year-old mama. She had one more Lord I love you and I was going to go get that mic. No, but to have your mom in church with you and she ain’t tearing the church up and to have your wife who’s a first lady and y’all just don’t honor her because she’s the first lady. Y’all honor her because she’s a good woman.

You know, that means a whole lot. It means a whole lot. I mean, my homeboy, like my my ace, we used to run the streets together at 11 and 12. I mean, my homeboy Joe and and worshiping I’m his pastor. Like, that’s I’m a blessed man. I’m a blessed man. I got some of my collegiate football teammates that are part of our church. And then my my my my I got a 19year-old. She turned 19 yesterday. And look, and she was on time for church this morning. God dang it. Lady C is getting old. Um a 19-year-old. That is crazy. Started this church. She was 9 months old. Uh yeah. So, here we go.

Next Steps and Discipleship 58 min mark

What do we have? Next steps 2.0. You cannot go to heaven if you don’t go through Next Steps from this church. You just cannot. You just can’t. This It’s a biblical fact. It’s in the back by the maps. If you want to go to heaven uh um yeah, it’s immediately after service before brunch. Okay. Lady C shared something that was dear to her heart. I want to give you what’s dear to mine. Not because it’s about this church, it’s about the great commission. Last semester, forgive me on my metrics. I may be off a little bit, but I believe we had about 1,600 people in disciplehip groups. And that’s applausible. It is. That’s that’s to be applauded.

The metrics show over 60% of those people were not TFC partners. That’s to be celebrated. But it’s also another thing to say, wait a minute. What’s up with our church not understanding that we’re supposed to be disciples making disciples? Amen. Look at me, please. To be too busy to get around the word of God, your life is too busy to be too complicated to not want to get around the word of God with other people. I want fear to break off of you. I want your scheduling to open up. I want convenience to be stripped off of you. This is for Faith Nation as well. Seriously, the goal is 400 facilitators in training. Right now, we’re at about No, that’s the goal. We’re at about 167 that signed up.

And the way that it works with metrics, with signing up, only about 80 something of those people are going to show up. And a lot of them are going to sit through it and eat the food. And only about 60 of them are going to actually do it. We’re going to be in the lowest semester we’ve ever had in our church because we’ve gotten too comfortable about what Jesus left us to do. If you don’t have anything to do that Saturday, and even if you have something to do that Saturday, I’m asking as your senior leader and pastor to make the adjustment. If you have not registered, please do now because we need to appropriate child care and we also need the proper amount of food. But this is us making disciples. Pastor, I’m new to this Christian thing. You you count, pastor. I don’t know a lot of the word. You count. And if you’ve done facilitating before, you may say, “I’ve already gone to training. No one has gone to this training. It’s

totally different. Total different process. It’s refreshing, but it’s still waiting. Would you do that for me? And then lastly, there’s this thing called TFC Sports that’s happening. Yes, our gym is opening. We’re scheduling it for September. And again, we have the plan for men’s leagues, women’s leagues, children’s leagues, girls leagues, everything. But it’s only based on if you support it. We’ve slashed the prices because we want us to be a part of it. You’ll hear more about the grand opening. When we open this, watch this. It’s going to open with the old school versus new school basketball game. Let me say it this way. It’s going to be pick and roll, rebound, play defense against dribble, dribble, dribble, dribble pad shoot shoot shoot patch dribble dribble dribble dribble dribble dribble. And y’all know who going to win, right?

You got to come to find out. Everybody stand. Everybody stand. This is This is new. This ain’t even on here. Get your husband some bingay and some ice. Icy hot. No, but the uh all the basketball leagues, you can sign up in the lobby. Do they have something? Yo, you can sign up right here. Sign up in the lobby and it’s going to be great. Will y’all support your church? Would y’all support your church? Would y’all support your church? Yeah. Support your church. Support your church. Listen. And and and I’m going to say this. Don’t judge. We’re not running no no no no shabby stuff here. It’s going to be top. We going to treat your kids nice. It’s going to be a Christian environment, great uniforms. We’re not going to bring you here into some shabby stuff just because it’s your church. No, it’s going to be top-notch. It’s going to be topnotch because it’s kingdom. It should be excellent because it’s the kingdom. It should be excellent. It should be excellent.

Y’all almost repeated what 9:00 did. 9:00 we did not I did not preach. We just worshiped. But I I got I got something for y’all. Uh, if y’all hang with me at least 25 minutes, I believe we’ll get something accomplished. We’re in our second week of wake up. Somebody say wake up.

You have cards on your seat. And I want you to look at what that card says. That card says what? What does the card say? What does the card say? I am waking up. I am waking up. Not God, wake this up for me. It’s what you are waking up to God. I want you to fill that card out. And as I’m teaching the word of God, if you’re so inclined, you can come and place that card on the altar. You will not be out of order. Just come up discreetly, lay it down, and go.

All right, let’s get into this word. Father, it’s with great joy that we come to you this morning. Uh, not only is our worship real, our desire to know you more perfectly and serve you more faithfully is for real. We thank you right now that we have the opportunity to fellowship together around your word. Holy Spirit, you are the master teacher, making complex things simple. Have your own divine way. I’m prepared. I’m ready. I’m excited. I’m locked. I’m loaded. And I’m fighting. Yes, Lord. And I need you to deal with all of that. So people can be edified because of the presentation of your word. That we can be convicted, that we can be sharpened, that we can be encouraged, that we can be inspired, that most of all that we can change. I thank you right now for the harvest of souls of people that you’ve sent here today that need to start or reunite an authentic relationship with you. Jesus, given the opportunity, nothing will stop them from choosing you as Lord and Savior. Also, there are hundreds of people that you’re sending in this season that need to be a part of a Bible teaching faith church. Regardless of how they found us online, invited by a friend, first time or second time watching online right now, this is their opportunity to be a part of something more than themselves. Thank you right now that you multiply this moment for your glory.

Salvation call and commitment prayer 65 min mark

With all eyes closed, all heads bowed, believers praying all over this room, I want to ask you this question. If today is your last day on earth, where do you spend eternity? I was notified right before church to pray for a wife who’s now a widow because her husband passed and we’re praying for her. You have to ask yourself, are you ready for Jesus’s coming? If you say, “Pastor Campbell, I’m not sure where I’m going to spend eternity,” I want to include you in my prayer. I’m not going to call you from your seat. Not going to ask you to move. Not going to put a microphone to your mouth. I just want to know, can I include you in my prayer? Pastor Campbell, I was living for Jesus, but I walked away. I need to rededicate my life to Christ. I want to include you in my prayer. Those of you in this room, I want to give you an opportunity to think about that as believers are praying with all eyes closed, all heads bowed. Those of you that are online, if you’re saying, “Pastor Campbell, I I need to give my life to Christ. I need to rededicate my life to Christ.” I want you to type, “That’s me.” So I know who I’m praying for, but more importantly, who’s choosing heaven. If you’re in this room, on the count of three, I want you to slip that hand in the air. And when you do, just just look at me so I know who I’m praying for today. One, two, three. Slip that hand in the air. I’m choosing Jesus. I see you. I see you there. I see hands. I see hands. I see you there, baby. I see hands. I’m looking. I see you back there. I’m looking. I’m see you.

Luke 19 and wake up part two 68 min mark

Luke 19. Luke 19. This is wake up part two. Somebody say, “Don’t miss the moment.” Don’t miss the moment. Hey, um, can I tell you how much your your wake up moment inspired me and encouraged me? I had no idea that was your backdrop and um just to see what you’ve done. And I remember when you first joined the church, you used to ask me a whole lot of questions. And normally when people are asking questions, they’re trying to find a church to fit what they want to do. You are trying to find a church to shape you to be who God wanted you to be. And in front of everybody, I want to celebrate you. So proud of you. So proud of you. So proud of you. That was her on the video. Yeah. To find out that you were part of so many different beliefs and all the things that were there and how God has worked in your heart and I man you that that’s why we’re here y’all. That’s why we’re here. So y’all bear with me just a few moments here and we’re going to try to work something out. Somebody say, “Don’t miss the moment.” Don’t miss the moment. One more time. Don’t miss the moment. Don’t miss the moment.

Missing what’s in front of you 69 min mark

Have Have you ever looked for something that was sitting right in front of you? Come on, let’s be honest. How many of y’all spent 15 minutes looking for your glasses and where were they? On your head. On your head. Some of y’all, they was on your eyes. It was just dirty. You couldn’t see through them. Dirty eye. It’s really, really close. And then when you get agitated and irritated, if people are in the house, you enlist disciples to help you look for something and you turning over stuff and you’re digging in pillow

cushions and you’re asking questions. Have you seen? And then if if you’re not secure, you start accusing people. >> Come on now. >> I seen you with that remote control. You were sitting over there. Have you ever Come on now. This the person on your left. Have you ever been looking for your cell phone using the light on your cell phone to find your cell phone? >> You got your cell phone using the light to look for you. I don’t know my phone at >> Watch watch. Have you ever been moving so fast that you looked for something, looked over it, had to slow down and go back to where you already looked to find what you were looking for?

God is already moving 70 min mark

>> What are you saying, Pastor Campbell? What if we’ve been asking God to show up while he’s already moving? >> You looking for God to show up and he’s saying, “No, I’m already moving. You just don’t see it. You’re too busy. It’s on top of your head. It’s in front of your face. It’s in your pocket. But you’re blaming me for not moving, but I’m already moving. He’s been saying, “I’ve been moving all along.” What if the greatest miracle we’ve been asking for has already begun, and we just don’t recognize it? I wonder I wonder how many prayers God has already answered that you’ve called coincidence.

>> How many doors has God opened that you didn’t recognize? How many times has God been speaking and we thought it was just another Sunday? Sometimes, watch this. The greatest thing that you’ll discover isn’t that God finally showed up. It’s that he never left. >> So, you’ve been praying, “God, show up. God, I need you to show up, God.” He’s saying, “I never left you. You just don’t recognize it.” Somebody say, “Don’t miss the moment.”

>> Don’t miss the moment. >> Opportunities. And we’ve all had this happen. Lady C and I were riding yesterday and we were doing something for our big girl for her birthday and she played this video of this gentleman that was talking through the parenting process. And it’s so wholesome because you’re learning parenting real time. you you become a parent and and and and it’s on the clock and even though you can talk to big mama and ask your mom or oh but but but it’s nothing like being there with that child and and you go through the processes and you do your best and you and like she taught this past Sunday Wednesday you fail forward >> and if you’re a real parent and you’re real honest that first child good gracious you’re just practicing because you don’t really know what you’re doing but by the time you get the second or third child it’s not that you love them more you’re just more experience.

Missing moments with family 72 min mark

You know they not going to die when they cry. You you you know that cuz see we couldn’t take pictures of the first one cuz we was always holding you cuz you was crying. The second one we got more pictures cuz we like you will not die. But watch even in some of your parental decisions to yourself watch. And to your children, it will feel as though that you have missed moments. Because some of us, we miss moments because we’ve been too busy as parents.

>> We missed a child’s question. I was so focused on always being prepared and I’m studying and I had to learn how to get a regiment with my family and I was always in a minute. In a minute, hold on, baby. In a minute. And I kept seeing myself pushing my kids off for the sake of building, for the sake of success, for the sake of providing. And it was always in a minute, in a minute. I’m 50, been married 24 years and some days. And I’m still trying to get better. When my wife ask me to do something that I can stop and do it then because I have great intentions, Dad. Come on now. Come on, husband. You got Y’all ain’t got but three married men. He want to be honest with me. You got great tell on him, sis. He got great intentions. You ask him on Monday. It’s Thursday, four months from now and he still ain’t done it.

>> Still ain’t done it. >> Look at him right now and say, “Still, >> my worship is for real. We miss moments as parents being busy. We miss when our spouse was annoyed. We miss when our spouse had a need. We miss business opportunities. We missed a divine moment. We’ve missed communion with God. Could it be, listen to this, that our spirits are on mute, >> functioning, but silent?

Spirits on mute 74 min mark

>> My God. >> TV is on. You can see the stuffing. >> But it’s on silent. It’s It’s functioning, but it’s Somebody say silent. >> Silent. >> You say God isn’t speaking, but the truth is we haven’t stopped long enough. >> Yeah. to listen >> and we’re missing moments of communion. >> Somebody say wake up. >> Wake up.

The triumphal entry 74 min mark

>> In Luke the 14th chapter 9 I mean 41. I’m going to read this from the amplified version in just a moment. Jesus is now entering into uh what we known as the triumphant entry. Triumphal entry. People are shouting in the palm branches. They’re saying hosana and they’re celebrating him as king and everything expresses victory in this parable. But it’s interesting because Jesus begins to cry in a celebration. You go back and look at the scripture and look at the text. He begins to cry and and because the same people that are welcoming him will reject him days later. They go from hosana to crucify him. Yeah.

>> Here’s why. Listen to this. This is the best I got for you. They were looking for a political leader and he was a surrendered savior. >> Oh wow. That’s good. >> And so because that he didn’t show up in the form of what they wanted, >> they overlooked the moment and he was right there with him. They could have touched him. They could have hugged him. they could have did and and they’re looking for could it be that you’re looking for God to do all these things in such a way and he’s saying I’m actually doing it right now. It’s just not the way that you want it to be done.

>> Luke 41:44 Amplified Version. You can check it out on the screen unless you have an amplified Bible. Check it out. It says as he approached Jerusalem, he saw the city and wept over it and the spiritual ignorance of its people, the spiritual ignorance of its people, saying, “If only you had known on this day of salvation, even you, the things which make for peace, and on which peace depends. But now they have been hidden from your eyes. For a time of siege is coming when your enemies will put up a barricade with pointed stakes against you and surround you with armies and hem you in on every side. And they will level uh you to the ground and Jerusalem and your children within you. They will not leave you uh one stone on another. All because you did not come progressively to recognize that from observation and personal experience the time of your visitation. That’s key. Listen to that. When God was gracious toward you and offered you salvation. Three simple things that we need to see as we move quickly but diligently. Number one, God can be present without being recognized. Number two, the wrong expectations can blind you to God’s righteous plan. >> Number three, no, I want to give you this. I want to give you this. Sometimes, sometime sometimes what disappoints us is actually God answering our prayers differently than we imagined. >> When you become so committed to your plan, you miss God’s purpose. Somebody say, “Don’t miss the moment.”

God’s thoughts and ways 77 min mark

>> Don’t miss the moment. >> Isaiah 55:8 says this. It says, “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, sayeth the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than yours and my thoughts than yours.” The reason we miss God’s purpose is because we’re committed to our own expectation of how God should work. Have you ever asked God to bless you and then told him how to do it?

>> See, let me clear it up. It’s one thing to want a job and want this type of job, but it’s another thing that when you’re so set on that, you’re not open to how God wants to do it. >> [crying] >> Number three, every divine moment requires a response. Say, every divine moment. >> Every divine moment. >> Jesus says something in verse number 44. He says, “The time of your visitation.” Say that with me. The time of your visit. Come on, you can’t participate. The time of your visitation. This word specifically speaks to an anointed or appointed season. This is an appointed time that he was supposed to come in on the triumphal entry. It’s not that it happens every lunar eclipse or every other weekend. It’s not like Junth. It’s not like 420. If you don’t know, don’t worry about it. It’s not like Christmas. It’s not like Easter Sunday, even though it changes every other year. And you got to look at the calendar to see is it in April, is it in March, is it in May, whatever. But what it is is that this is an appointed season and an appointed divine moment. You cannot be in your flesh and miss what the spirit is doing. >> Because here’s the thing about this. He says the moment of your visitation means that the God moments require decisions and actions. One more time. God moments require decisions and actions. One more time. God

moment. Not not good moments. Not not great moments. Not good idea moments, not Vincent moments, not Tory moments, not Royce moments, but God moments require decisions and actions. And many of us are not recognizing the moment. Preach, Pastor Campbell. So, we’re making improper decisions and we’re not giving the necessary actions to show God that we’re worthy of what he wants to do in our lives. We’re mismanaging moments that are God moments because we’re so into our flesh. We’re so into our plan. What about God’s purpose for your life? >> That’s good. Bishop, >> here’s what I noticed with God moments. They’re dangerous because you don’t get them back. >> You’ve already lived through this, but you didn’t know it was going to happen like this. High school. >> You was just in there, wasn’t you, >> 40 years ago. >> You got that right. Some of you don’t realize how old you are until you fill out paperwork at the doctor’s office >> or you subscribe to a dating app. >> Boy, your age like the price is right. [laughter] >> I’m almost there. By the time you get to fill out your hobbies, what you like to do? Sleep. [laughter] High school is gone. I’m tripping, y’all. This girl 19, my baby 16. They was just Elsa and Anna. Them days is gone. >> High school gone. Baby stages are gone. Honeymoon. Yo, >> we still on our honeymoon. >> You know them folks lying, don’t you? >> No. Honey, honeymoon is over. Now you in real deal life. You baked beans and macaroni and cheese and pick up the kids and go get the laundry and you make me sick and I love you and are we going to a movie? You should have picked out something. Where are we going to eat? I don’t know. Let’s go here. I don’t want that. Well, you should have told me where you wanted to go. Cut the grass. Take out the trash. Cut the grass. Take out the trash. Cut the grass. Take out the trash. Go to work. Come to church. Cut the grass. Take We in our honeymoon. No, we not. Cut the grass. Take out the trash. For those of you that get want to get married, I like what? [laughter] >> How many of you can say parents? Be honest. If you would kn have known their baby toddler ages was going to flee so fast, you would have slowed down more. H >> how many of you would have known some of the moments that we mismanaged? If we knew it was going to go like that, we would have taken better advantage. I wish I would have paid more attention in school. I talk better. Now I talk like a >> a syrup can. I wish I wish I’d have been more studious. I wish I would have been okay being teased as a nerd. I love the fact that my girls go to school where you’re the outcast if you don’t do your work. We was picked at them. People been sitting in class like Look at him over there doing his work. Look at Einstein. >> Y Look at Porn Dexter over there with his shirt tucked in. Look at him. You got made fun of for doing the right thing. >> These moments they fleet. Let’s get to three simple things we need to do. Somebody say, “Don’t miss the moment.” I’m almost done in about an hour. Here we go. Three simple things you need to do. Number one, read this. Read this. Read this a lot. Read this a lot. Go. >> Slow down. God. >> Most people don’t miss God because he’s absent. They miss him because he’s distract you’re distracted. >> God usually whispers. Distractions always scream. >> Number two. Number two. Number two. respond when God speaks. >> The greatest, excuse me, the greatest way to miss God is to keep postponing obedience. >> Okay? Okay. We got to go. We got to do it. We got to do it. We got to do it. We got to do it. Let’s look at the dysfunction of disobedience. Cuz you’re wanting God to move, but you keep being disobedient to his word. You’re being disobedient to your prayer life. You’re being disobedient what the Holy Spirit is saying because you don’t want to do what God wants you to do. You’re being disobedient. And watch this. Partial obedience is still disobedience. >> Here we go. The dysfunction of disobedience. God’s instructions are often connected to a moment, not just the destination. >> Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Some of us are wanting God to give us instructions on how to be blessed and how to get to this state. But we don’t understand. It’s not just the destination that God wants to do for us. It’s the momentary obedience on the way to the destination. All right. Okay. What do you mean by that? God doesn’t just give us commands. He gives us commands in seasons. In season. Noah had to be commanded in a season that was ahead of the season that was coming. >> And if he didn’t obey in the moment, he would have been out of season when the flood came. Yeah. >> God is eternal, but opportunities are seasonal. See, many of us, we we we think we think all we got to do is just keep looking good, keep being cute, keep doing Pilates, keep taking peptides, keep working out, keep keep doing what keep keep up with our podcast, and God gonna spin the block with his instructions again. Write this down, please. Blessings don’t expire, they transfer. >> When God made the blessing, he had it for you. But because you operate in disobedience, you will disqualify for your yourself for a throne that God made for you. And he’ll customize that thing for somebody else to sit in it with your disobedience. >> Let’s go. Delayed [clears throat] decisions create organizational drift. One more time. Delayed decisions create organizational drift. What do you mean by that? We don’t drift because we made one terrible decision. We drift because we postpone hundreds of small acts of do obedience. >> Great lives don’t collapse in a day. They slowly erode. Every time we postpone what God told us to do, what does it look like, Pastor Campbell? It looks like this. In a minute. In a minute. I’ll give in a minute. But you put a prerequisite. When I make more money, when I pay off this credit card. That is not a prerequisite to give. >> I’m I’m I’m going settle down when I find the one. >> Who told you? >> Be ye holy for I am holy. When you feel like settling down after you find the one, >> you 40 years old. How you talking about you a player? We did that stuff in high school cuz >> when you going to put away childish things and become a >> man. You living your life through your car and through your check and through how many women you can call. >> Boy, is you crazy. >> You ain’t nothing but a light bill and you think you cool. Y’all, you missed it. You missed it. You missed it. You missed it. You missed it. No. Every not now. And so you got to look at neuroscience. Neuroscience says that there’s this every time that we build up resistance or we build every time you tell God not now, you build up the resistance to comply. And now you build up this hardness to not do what he wants you to do. So every not now, the next not now becomes easier to not do what he told you to do. cuz it’s always not now, not now, not now, not now. [music] >> Every postponed act of obedience trains your brain to become less responsive. Every not now makes the next not now easier to say. The danger isn’t that God stops speaking. The danger is that we become conditioned to say now. >> Every time God speaks, you’re standing at a crossroads. >> He’s speaking. Here’s the crossroad. What you want, what he wants. And because we don’t recognize, I’m I’m telling y’all, just hang with me. This these people are with Jesus. And because he was not coming in on a Hellcat or a Bentley >> or Maybach, >> he was coming in on a donkey, a coat. That don’t look like no king. That don’t look like the savior of the world. >> At least he could have got a buckweiser horse. >> I mean, they big and you I mean, kings fold to come on y’all. Y’all done overlooked somebody and didn’t realize they was loaded. You like, “Well, I didn’t know.” No, it’s because you played them because they didn’t look the part of what you thought. >> And we out here not doing it how God tells us to do it. We walk by faith and not by sight. But everything that you live by is how it look. How it looked to you. How it looked to you. And if he don’t look like what you want, then you’re not going to give him the time a day. You can’t see his heart. You can’t see his integrity. You can’t see his humility. You can’t see his love for God. All you see is out here. And every time you keep picking out here and you don’t get in here, you going to get messed up every time. >> Free dating advice. Free dating advice. free dating advice. >> Jesus didn’t show up. Jesus didn’t show up like these people thought he should. >> My God. >> And because they wanted a political figure, they wanted another Roman soldier, somebody an empire, somebody with a big fleet. And here’s the savior of the world on a cult. And when they could have been a part of something that changed all of humanity, they sided with political figures in less than a week. >> My God. >> And the same person that they waved the palm branches and said, “Hosana, >> is the person that they crucified?”

Could it be that you’re looking at your life and you’re saying, “All God has given me is this cult life.” Not cult colt donkey ass life. I’m I’m a Corvette life. I should have a Porsche life. I I I should have a Ferrari life cuz you know your girl got expensive taste. Yeah.

And God is saying, “No, I’m giving you a humble path because what I’ve learned about success is this. If you can ride with me here, I don’t have to worry about you as God brings me up here.” But most of us want our lives up here. And you wonder why you never get authentic people in your life because you’re accustomed to parasitic relationships. They only latch on to suck life out of you. They never put anything back into you.

If parasites only live off of the blood of other people, let’s move. Pastor Camp, we got to go home. We almost done. Number three, we still on three simple things to do. Number live with expectation every Sunday. Expectation is the language of faith. Say expectation.

Expectation is the language of faith. is the language of faith. I want to move to my pastor’s points. I think our time is spent. We’ve had a great time worshiping God today. Wake up. Listen to this. Wake up before you drift too far. I did a lesson with the men online talking about how godly men drift and the dangers of men that drift this past Monday. Thank you men for showing up for that. But if you don’t wake up, you’ll drift so far because look at me please.

Surrender versus celebration 93 min mark

These people celebrated Jesus without surrendering to him. Did you just clap and worship for an hour and you hadn’t surrendered? Are you serving in media and children’s check-in and watching online? Are you holding a microphone singing worship? Are are you bringing things down to the altar that you want to wake up to God? But my question is, are you surrendered to him? Amen.

It’s easy to say hosana, hosana, hosana. But it’s hard to say cleanse me, fix me, change me. When have you asked the Lord to kill everything in you that doesn’t please him? When is the last time that you’ve asked the Because here the thing, you tried to do it and you’re very successfully unsuccessful.

But when have you asked the Lord, Lord, everything in me like I I want to please you so much that I want you to kill in my life what needs to see. You got to be careful because some of us are hanging on to things that we don’t want killed because they don’t build our spirit. They build our flesh and we’re more married to our flesh than we are to the purpose that God has for us. So when he starts killing things, you feel like life is falling apart. But the truth of the matter is, baby, life may fall apart in that area, but you’re going to glorify him with the real purpose of your life.

Wake up, look up, recognize 94 min mark

Number one, we need to wake up. Number two, you need to look up. Say, “Look up.” Look up. Put Psalms 121 and one on the screen, please. Looking up keeps you from being distracted. I want to give you this. This scripture says, “I will lift up mine eyes into the hills from which cometh my help. My help cometh from the Lord, which made what y’all?

Now, the representation of this scripture is something that’s been used in church. If you’ve been there any amount of time, that’s a good one. When they read that one, the church gets a little stirred. I lift up mine eyes to the heels. from with cometh my help. And all my help cometh from the Lord who made I mean but it’s implying that we look to the heels for our help. But that’s not the context. He’s actually asking a question.

I’m going to lift up mine eyes to the heels. But he answers it in the next verse. My my help don’t come from the hills. My help comes from the Lord. Because in those times, in the pagan times of worship, that’s where the gods of of of of the of idolatry were. They were in the hills. That represents military force. That me represents idolatry. And he says, I’m not going to lift up my eyes to the heels from which cometh my help. I’m going to lift up my eyes to the creator, the Lord, which made the heels.

That’s basically saying, “Let me 2026 it. I’ll lift up my eyes until energy cuz all my help comes from energy.” No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. We raise up our eyes to the God that made energy. I’ll lift up my eyes to the universe. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. We don’t lift up our eyes to the universe. We lift up our eyes of the universe. I lift up my eyes to mother earth. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. We lift up our eyes to the one that made the heavens and the earth.

So, you better look up. Yes. And the last one I want to give you is recognize. Please stand. Say recognize. Recognize. It took me back to my old school. Y’all remember you better recognize. They were basically saying, “You’ve overlooked something that you need to open your eyes to. Please be respectful of this moment. There’s no need to foul out like y like y’all y’all y’all y’all that’s

See that’s that’s another ain’t God ain’t told nobody leave so you can get out the parking lot. Amen. Leave so you can get to the cafe so ain’t no long line so you can get your drink and go. No, we got to think about what we doing, y’all. We got to think about who we’re here for. We got to think about what we’re ser No, that’s that’s us. That’s our flesh saying, “Get get in line.” So your like your kids ain’t more important. Everybody kids going to get checked out. Get all of the words you can.

But if we were still singing and still clapping and we just want to be entertained with the song, we want to feel good, but we don’t want the instructions that make us change to be good. Two things I want to give you to recognize the moment. Somebody say of mercy. Of mercy. I want y’all to think I’m fussing. We just got to get house in order. We got over here and we ain’t got too commercial, y’all. We we got we got we got to get the reverence for the sanctuary and for God and the things of God. Just got to just tighten up a little bit. Just got to tighten up a little bit. Pastor not mad. I love y’all. I’m not mad, but we just got to tighten up a little bit.

I remember my mom, she wake up on some Sundays and she say, “We we cleaning up today. We ain’t straightening up.” Anybody know what I’m talking about? That’s when you got to lift up the toaster. Come on. Wipe under the toaster. Open that little tray out to the bottom and get all them crumbs out of there. That’s cleanup day. Come on, sir. They mean pull the refrigerator out and clean. Who’s back there?

Mercy and the moment 99 min mark

Here we go. Before y’all are standing too long, this is where I want to encourage you. They miss their moment to recognize the Savior. The moment of mercy that you need to embrace is recognize that if you have overlooked and been sleep to a moment that God is awakening you to, his mercy allowed you to be here today to receive this word so you can align.

And I think sometimes y’all, we focus, we’re we’re in such a grace society that we forget the mercy of God. And sometimes y’all, I thank God more for his mercy than his grace. Cuz his grace gives me stuff. His mercy withhold what I actually deserve. God dog it. And so sometimes it’s not about what you going to give me next. It’s about what you didn’t give me that I actually earned. Thank you that you didn’t give me my judgment. Thank you that you didn’t give me my pay. because the wages of sin is death. But because I’m alive today and because you are God, I’m able to show up and praise you with dirty hands as I clean my y’all missing me, y’all. Sometimes it’s not the next house. It’s the mercy that he had on you just yesterday.

Let me tell you something. If you’re hearing this message, your heart’s still beating. The Holy Spirit is speaking. God is not through with you. You may have missed a moment, but you didn’t mess it up. That’s a shout right there. You might have missed a moment, but you didn’t mess it up. He’s still got hope for you. He’s still working on you. He’s still got his hands on you.

The awakening ahead 101 min mark

Let me say this, faith center. I wrote this. We will not sleep through what God wants to do next. We will not become so familiar with his presence that we stop expecting his power. We will not become spectators in every moment in the very moment that God have been praying for. The greatest days of the faith center and your life are not behind us. They are standing here right with us. And at this time, we’re going to recognize what God is doing. We’re going to respond with faith. We’re going to go through this church. We’re going to walk through this by faith that he’s prepared for us. This is our moment. Let’s not miss it.

I’m not preaching another series. I’m preaching an awakening of a moment. God is not waiting to bless us. He’s wanting to do it right now. But we

Got to honor him. [applause and music] It’s worth the extra five minutes. It’s worth getting out of the bed. It’s worth waking up before the alarm. It’s worth not watching the show.

It’s worth being embarrassed, getting on your knee. It’s worth it. [applause and music]

A moment with God 102 min mark
