The speaker expresses gratitude for the hospitality shown to him and his wife. He mentions the presence of other preachers and how he felt a connection to the sermon. He then turns to the scripture in John's Gospel, specifically chapter 20, verse 1. He highlights the story of Mary Magdalene and the disciples visiting the tomb of Jesus and finding it empty. He emphasizes the despair and uncertainty felt by the disciples at this time. He mentions their exhaustion and fear, as well as the darkness and trouble in their lives. He describes the disciples' disappointment at finding the tomb empty and their lack of understanding that Jesus would rise again. He concludes by emphasizing the disciples' return to their own homes, feeling dejected and lost. It's been a great honor to get to be here, Brother and Sister Sargent and their family and their church. We appreciate everything, the nice place to stay, the meals, just everything that's been done for Sister Pam and I. We really do appreciate it, and I know there's a lot of great preachers here. Brother Jameson started out the service, I really thought he was speaking to me when he emphasized, if I was a preacher, I really felt the Lord trying to talk to me right there. Amen. So we're going to try to do our best, try not to keep you in here too long, but I have a burden to try to talk to us right here for just a little while. I'm not here to impress these far greater preachers, and we're not in no competition. So let's just look into the Word of the Lord and see if the Lord will talk to each and every one of us right here tonight. We all need Him, don't we? We need the Lord. It's good to see Brother Doug Webb here. I don't want to imply that he's getting older, but I remember hearing him preaching in Middlesboro, Kentucky, years and years ago, and I've never forgotten. Brother Doug took the pulpit, Brother Simpson was pastor in there at Middlesboro, and Brother Doug Webb said, I'm going to paint you a picture of Calvary. I've never forgotten that, when he preached that message years and years ago. Amen. I appreciate him being here in the house of the Lord. Turn with me to the book of St. John's Gospel, very familiar. Again, there's been a lot said already about the week, the day that we're celebrating. Brother Webb, he's already done put the icing on the surface here tonight, so all I've got to do is fill in a few blank spots here, and we'll see what the Lord will do with us. I want him to talk to us tonight. St. John chapter number 20, verse number 1. The Bible said, The first day of the week cometh Mary Magdalene early, when it was yet dark, unto the sepulchre, and seeth the stone taken away from the sepulchre. Then she runneth and cometh to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple, whom Jesus loved, and saith unto them, They have taken away the Lord out of the sepulchre, and we know not where they have laid him. Peter therefore went forth, and that other disciple, and came to the sepulchre. So they ran both together, and the other disciple did outrun Peter, and came first to the sepulchre. And he stooping down, and looking in, saw the linen cloths lying, yet went he not in. Then cometh Simon Peter, following him, and went into the sepulchre, and seeth the linen cloths lie, and the napkin that was about his head, not lying with the linen cloths, but wrapped together in a place by itself. Then went in also that other disciple, which came first to the sepulchre, and he saw and believed. For as yet they knew not the scripture, that he must rise again from the dead. Verse 10 is where I like to preach from. The Bible said, Then the disciples went away again unto their own home. Amen. Would you just stretch a hand this way and ask the Lord to help us? Father, we're out here tonight for just a little while. Would you please, would you stand with us, would you stand with us? I know, God, that you can help us. I know that you can touch us. I ask you, God, that you would visit with us right here. May there be someone in this building tonight, God, that's heartened, or low, that's heavy, that's lacking, or that's in a dark, dark place. I ask you, everybody, that you would just stand with us right here. In Jesus' name, amen. Amen. I want to preach tonight, if the Lord would help me. It seems like today he's got to deal with my heart about this. I want to preach on when God is out of sight, or when God is gone. Amen. There's a lot said, it's been said even here tonight, and it should be said, about this week, this holy week, this passion week, if you will. There's been a lot said concerning Christ, concerning the suffering, concerning the crying, concerning the bloodshed. We preached about it Wednesday night. Talked about how that he surrendered his will in the garden. We realize that all of this points us to the victorious, redemptive work of Christ. And we're so glad to, as has been said here tonight, that we can shout knowing what we know about this story. Amen. But how many know that the Bible is a story of both God and man? Now this book, to me, would not be near as helpful to me if it was only about God. But when he displays God and man, then I can relate to these people. And so I got to looking at this story, and like I said, it's already been mentioned here tonight, so I'll just ease into it. Amen. We can shout, but these, at this particular time, as Brother Welby talked about the fearful Friday and the sad Saturday. Amen. We see here, amen, the faith of his followers. We see, amen, the toil and the strain that this particular time had on his disciples. And if you read this real carefully, amen, it's almost as you can see the depths of their despair. You can see their discouragement. You can see the disillusion that came into their lives. You could go with me back, and just for a moment, we can look at how these men had not only faithfully followed him, amen, for the last few years, but in this week, I feel like that they had been by his side. And the toil that it had taken, it is displayed. We see their exhaustion in the garden. How many knows that they loved the Lord? They wasn't there, Brother Tim, for show. They weren't there, amen, to try to make a name. They really loved this man. And they were intending on being with him, and they were. But even in the garden, you Bible readers remember, it wasn't that they were just looking for a place to lie down and sleep. I feel like that they were willing to watch and willing to pray. And even the Lord said that their spirit was willing, but their flesh was weak. And so we see that it has taken a great toll on them. They're exhausted from following the Lord. And again, let me emphasize, they don't have a King James Version Bible that they can flip a couple pages over and hear the conclusion of the whole story. They're navigating through this for the first time. And they don't know the end of the story. So are you with me here? So we see their exhaustion. We see the fear that's in their lives, the uncertainty, amen. They're dealing not only with those things, the emotions in their body, but it's also a cold time. And I don't know about you, but I don't like being cold. Come on, somebody help me preach. We can point fingers at Peter all we want to, but had there been a fire there, you and I would have tried to warm by that fire, can you say amen? And so we see this. They go through the trial, through the long hours of all that they went through, amen. And I know they did not stay right there, but just to try to sympathize with them. And then they go to Golgotha. They go to the cross, amen. They watch Him. They hear. And all of these things that take place, amen. Then they even to the tomb, and they see the stone. But here in our Scripture setting, they come to Him on the tomb on the first day of the week. And when they get there, I don't know if you catch this, and maybe it's just Brother Suffren's being too dramatic, but the Bible said that Mary Magdalene came of when it was yet dark. And I believe that there was darkness in more ways than one in this woman's life. I believe it was a dark time. I believe it was a troubling time. They loved this man, can you say amen? And so they come to the sepulchre, amen, and to their amazement of that one that they loved. Can you see, amen, how much love, how much respect that they had? That even though they had watched Him mutilate His body, amen, even though they had watched Him be His visage marred, Him being disfigured of, amen, from all the cruel treatments of, yet they wanted to be where He was at. And when they get there, and that's all that they had left of Him, are you with me? Amen. But now, even that is gone. Even that last little thread, that last little hope, if you will, is gone, amen. And all they've got, amen, is when they look in, they're just seeing an empty tomb and seeing some grave clothes laying there. I don't know how you feel about it, but I feel like that at least when He was in the tomb, they knew where He was at. But now, He's gone. And listen to this, and see if you can feel with me here. Verse 19 said, For as yet they knew not the Scripture, that He must rise again from the dead. Verse 10 said, Then the disciples went away unto their own home. When I read that, Pastor, I felt like I was there with them. He's gone. If we could just see His body. If we could just get close enough to Him. But He's gone. He's not there. I saw this in different places. Bear with me here. In Matthew, it said it like this. He said, Then went Pilate and begged the body of Jesus. Then Pilate commanded the body to be delivered. And when Joseph had taken the body, he wrapped it in a clean linen cloth, laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn out of the rock, and he rolled a great stone to the door of the sepulcher and departed. That's as far as it goes. He's gone. It's over. It's over. Our hopes have died. Come on now. That dream that we had, that spark, that hope that we had in Israel, it is gone. Can you say amen? And even the Scripture said it like this. And it said, Luke, and behold, two of them went that same day to a village called Emmaus. I just feel like they felt like, what are we going to do? He's gone. There's nothing there. You know the story. They had trusted Him to be the Lord. And all of a sudden, Jesus comes and joins them. But they don't know who this stranger is. Are you with me? Can you hear them as they talk? The Lord began to ask them, why are you sad? They began to talk to Him. And listen to how they said it. We trusted that it had been He which should redeem Israel. We trusted that. But now that trust is out of our sight. Now we don't even have a body anymore. There's nothing there. Can you say amen? And besides all of this, amen, today's the third day. And they said early this morning, as some ladies went to the tomb, they saw an angel. They saw a vision. But Him, they saw not. Amen. Listen. Amen. As glorious as this was, amen, as happy as me and you can be about it, these people were having a tough time. Can you say amen? Amen. What should have been a glorious time is a literal struggle for them. Can you say amen? Amen. They're having a time, amen, because the Lord, that one that they loved, amen, they can't see Him. They cannot get to Him. Amen. He's not talking to them. Hallelujah. I said He's not talking to them. Amen. I feel like, for He had called them His friend. I believe, Brother Anthony, amen, that John mentioned about things that happened that was not even written in the book. Come on now. So allow me some room to preach. I feel like they confided in Him. Amen. John leaned on his breast. But now that man's not there. Amen. I'm needing somebody at this point to talk to. It's a dark hour in my life. I'm needing something. And my God is gone. He's out of sight. I can't find Him. I can't touch Him. I can't talk to Him. He's not talking to me. Come on now. And I'm struggling. Hallelujah. These men loved Him. Come on now. You can criticize Peter all you want to, but Peter's ready to die for Him. He's got the sword out. He meant business. Put it up, Peter. Put it up. Put your sword back up. Come on now. There have been a lot of times that we get really spiritual and we want to try to, hey man, maybe kind of be negative here. And we even talk about Thomas where Thomas said, except I see Him. Come on now. Except I touch Him. I'm not going to believe in this. I'm struggling here. I'm needing help. Come on now. I'm going to be transparent. I don't know if I can help you tonight. But there have been times, pastor, in my life when I felt like God was out of sight. I felt like God was gone. And I needed something but Him. There have been times, I wish I could tell you, that every time I prayed, the heavens just opened up and I felt His glory. There have been times, even lately, that I felt like, Lord, I don't know where you're at right here. And I'm going to need Him to touch you. Come on now. How many knows that in being a Christian, it's being spiritual? Come on here. And when you add the Pentecostal flavor to it, we like the experience. We like the adrenaline rush. We like something to really move. Come on here. He meant, oh, I'd like to preach to you tonight. He meant Thomas was that man. You all done heard this preacher before. He meant His name means twin. He meant He had the two natures. Come on here. And that's where me and you are at tonight. There's times that our spirit flies high. There's times that our faith's in God. There's times that nothing's going to slow us down. There's times, amen, when we're ready to just run on for God. But if you'd really be honest with me today, there's times, amen, that we're trying to get a hold of God, and God ain't to be found. Amen, and in our heart we begin to struggle. We begin to have them hard times. Couldn't I tell you tonight? There'll be times in your life, amen, that that faith turns to fear. Will it always be this way? Come on now. Will it always be this way? Amen. I was talking to a preacher friend the other day. If I called his name, some of you would know him. He pastored in southeastern Kentucky for years. And Brother Tim, now he's got some kind of disease. I can't even pronounce the name of it. But it just left him really sick and really weak. And he's unable to eat. Couldn't even drink. Couldn't hardly swallow. And it left him, and I'm not saying this to be ugly, he is my friend. Come on now. And Brother David Webb, it left him almost like he was retarded. And he's a dignified man. Just a statesman in his speech. And I called to check on him. And this wife said, Brother Ronnie wants to talk to you. Brother Tim, I heard a voice at one time that could speak so plainly and speak so eloquently. And he began to say, Hello, Bo One. How you doing? And my heart just sunk. And as we began to talk, and he began to tell me, he said, I can't hardly play no more. I can't hardly get it out no more. And he said, I hear a voice in the back of my mind saying, is this how God treats holiness preachers that have given their life to Him? You're hearing me? You're hearing me? I felt like but for a moment in that great man's eyes, his God was gone. He was out of his sight. Amen. The times that he could walk to the Bible stand. Amen. And pump his fist and pound the pulpit and preach the Gospel. But now he's not even able to pray. Oh, hallelujah. And that faith is beginning. The devil in his flesh is beginning to work on him. I said, brother, let me try to help you. In my heart, brother Sergeant, I'm begging God, I need you to talk to me right now. And I felt the Lord begin to deal with my soul. And I said, brother, listen, even in the book of Hebrews, the Bible talks about one crowd that they saw the dead raised. They saw they escaped the violence of fire. They'd done all these great mighty things. But then in the end of that chapter, it said but others. Oh, hallelujah. And it tells what they went through. And I said one had an earthly victory, a testimony of victory. But the others had an eternal testimony of victory. And I said to my friend, I can go to heaven being sick. I can go to heaven even dealing with troubles. But I can't go to heaven if I lose my faith in this Almighty God. Oh, hallelujah. There will be times in your life that it feels like that He's out of sight to you. And they went home. They went home. Are you hearing me? They just went home. I'm through with this. I don't know what I'm going to do. Your faith turns to fear. Your love feels lost. Your joy turns to sadness. Your hope turns to worry. Your confidence turns to confusion and chaos. And like my preacher friend, why God? Why? Why does this happen? Your heart's broke. I have learned in the last few years of my life, sometimes it takes some time to learn that. And I'm a slow learner, so forgive me. But I have learned that there is a symptom in life. There's a place you can get where your heart's broke. He's a preacher man. I've preached meetings for him. He's in another state. And his wife had left him. And he was dealing with a lot of things, trying to continue at that time to pastor. The love of his life is gone. It's a terrible, terrible situation. He had asked me to come and preach for him. I went and preached for him. She came that night, a back-slid woman, because she loves Sister Pam and myself. And we preached that night. And I had so much hope she would come back to God. But that wasn't the end of the story. Brother Webb, how do you turn it back over to this man? And when he walked to the Bible stand as a pastor, but that's his wife. And now she's gone from him, literally. She's only come back to church for this one service. And he just collapses over the Bible stand and starts crying. What am I going to do? Brother Tim, he told me later, he said, I got to having pains in my chest. I got to hurting in my chest. And I felt like you need to see a doctor. And he said I kept putting it off. And that pain was there. And he said it was literally, I could feel that pain in my chest. And I realized this is not a medical condition. My heart's broke. Are you hearing me tonight? My heart is broke. Oh, hallelujah. I don't know how you're feeling about it. Amen. Tonight we're shouting because we know the end of the story. But these men did not know the end of the story. They're just going home. They're just saying we don't know what to do. They're just saying we don't know which way to go. Amen. And we're troubled. They're in the same place Job was. And maybe you're here tonight. Job said, oh, that I knew where I might find Him. Oh, hallelujah. Ever been there? I would look for Him. I'd go backward. I'd go forward. I'd turn to the right hand. I'd turn to the left hand. I just would love to find the Lord. Could you raise a hand and ask God to help me? I can't find Him. Look, brother, I can't find Him. He's gone. He's not there. He's not there. Amen. The other morning I went to the Lord in prayer. This past Sunday morning I went to the Lord in prayer. And there's a Scripture that leaped out to me. And I know the context of it. And it talks about, in 1 Timothy, about the qualifications of the bishop and the deacon. But, brother Tim, that Scripture leaped out at me where it said this, holding the mystery of the faith in a pure conscience. Holding the mystery. Sometimes how many knows that that's what it is? Am I doing any good here? Webster said that a mystery was something that has not been or cannot be explained. It is something beyond human comprehension. These things... Oh, I'd like to help you tonight if I could. There's things that you'll go through in life that there's no explaining it. There's no figuring it out. You're not going to understand it. Come on now. Couldn't that be why some songwriter says we'll understand it better when? By and by. But right now, we just can't seem to understand it. I've thought of the words of the song it said. I've had many tears of sorrow. I've had questions for tomorrow. There's been times I didn't know right from wrong. But in every situation, God gave me blessed consolation that my trials only came to make me strong. Are you hearing me tonight? Oh, hallelujah. I want to preach to me and you. Right now, you're seeing through a glass darkly. This Bible's full of men and women that walked in troubling times. Again, it's Easter weekend. And they weren't shouting to victory. But those men weren't. They was looking through a glass darkly. Their God was gone. But somebody stick with me right here. Amen. He had told them, A little while, and ye shall not see me. But then he said it again. Ye, in a little while, and ye shall see me. I come to tell you tonight. Amen. In a little while. Amen. He's going to be waiting. Amen. For you. Amen. He's gone out of sight. But how many know that he was working out the final touches of the redemptive plan. And that's what he does when it seems like he goes off scene and we can't see him. Amen. Come on now. Come on now. Oh, would you ask God to help me right here? I want to tell somebody tonight He's not forgotten you. Oh, I feel the Holy Ghost. Oh, I feel the Holy Ghost. I said I feel the Holy Ghost. He's not forgotten you. He's not forgotten you. You can't feel him. You can't see him. It's a dark day. But he's not forgotten you. We can't understand all these things. He meant people means well. Come on now. How many remembers what he told Mary right here just in the few Scriptures here? He met Mary. She stayed right there. And she thought he was the gardener. You remember the story? And she goes to him. She's still looking for him, Brother Tim. She still wants to be there, Brother Michael. And she said, Sir, if you'll just tell me where you took him. If you'll just tell me where he's at. They've been times, preacher. If you'll just tell me where he's at. If you'll just tell me where he's at. Brother Adam, when he spoke her name. When he spoke her name. Oh, hallelujah. Oh, when he called her by her name. And she said, Master. But did you catch what he said to her? He said, Mary, don't touch me. Stay with me right here. Don't touch me. He was out of sight for a little while. Could I tell you? This was the only time he told anybody, Don't touch me. For he said, I've got to ascend. What's this? To my Father and to yours. I've got some work to do. Can I tell you tonight? Hey man, listen. He may be out of sight. You may be struggling in your trial. But I'm here to tell you. Hey man, you might not be able to touch him right now. But there's going to come a day. Hey man, just in a few days. They're going to be gathered in a room. Hey man, listen. You can throw Thomas under the bus if you want to. But Jesus loved Thomas. And Thomas loved Jesus. Hey man, and in a few days. Hey man, they gather around. And Thomas just don't go. You can speculate. So can I. I don't know why he didn't go. But I have a little feeling, Brother Anthony. He was discouraged. Come on now. Hey man, and they said, The Lord met with us. You ever heard that? You've heard it. One time you don't get to go to church for whatever reason. Oh, we had a great meeting. Huh? You're smiling at me. The one time you didn't show up. Man, God came by. You know how that makes you feel? That's what I thought. But then there was another time. Come on now. I'm about through. Stick with me. There was another time. In a little while, you shall not see me. And again, in a little while, you shall see me. You see, the Lord had an appointed time for them. That angel had told them disciples, While the Lord was out of sight, That angel said, You tell his disciples. And be sure that you tell Peter about it. I want you to go somewhere. I'm going to meet you in Galilee. And I came tonight. I came into this Friday night service to tell somebody. There's an appointed time. I feel the Holy Ghost. There's an appointed time just ahead of you. He's fixing to meet with you. And the Bible said it like this. And they were gathered together again. And Thomas was in there. And the Bible specifically said. And the doors being shut. I'm here to tell you. He came in. He came in with the doors shut. Amen. And you better shut the door. I'm through. I'm going home. I can't take it no more. I don't know what I'm going to do. And the doors is shut. I don't want to hear nobody else say. I understand what you're going through. I know where you're at. I just want to shut the door. But this time, Brother Anthony, when he came through that door, He said to him. Thomas, come here. Touch me. Touch me. Touch me. And tonight, and I'm just through right here. He wants you to reach out your hand on this night. He wants you to touch Him. Because you know the other side of the story. Dark times. Dark days. I've got a picture for him back close home. He's got three young daughters. His middle daughter. She had something went wrong. I don't really know what it was. They don't know what it was. She had something wrong with her stomach. She's a teenager. And she just couldn't eat. Kind of reminds me of what you told me the other day. And he said she just could not eat. Anything she ate just made her so sick. And she had lost weight. And even if she tried to eat soup, she'd just get so deathly sick. And he said we had prayed. We'd had her to the doctor. We'd done everything we know to do. It just seemed like she wasn't getting any better. And he said we really thought. He said I thought my little girl was going to leave here. I'm a holiness preacher. And I can't get God to move for me. And I'm seeking God. And she's looking at me. Daddy, I can't eat. I'm struggling. But he told me, he called me. We was talking. And he said that one night. It's a dark time. Them little girls. Listen right here. I want to tell you the importance of a Christian home. A Christian prayer. You might think bedtime prayers aren't important. But you scoot up here. Let me talk to you just a little bit. Them three little girls was ready for bed. I say little. Two of them's teenagers. One of them's probably close to that. But Brother David, before they went to bed that night. Mom and Daddy's done laid down. In their bedroom. Those three girls as was a habit. They begin to pray. They begin to talk to God. But after the Spirit of the Lord came in that bedroom. Where three little sisters was praying. For that middle one. She said the Holy Ghost came down. Are you hearing me? They felt touch of the Lord. They felt blessed. And then it's like it lifted. And the other two went to their bedrooms. And she went to hers. And her daddy's telling me the story. He said that around one or two o'clock in the morning. She jumps up. Comes running into him and his wife's room. Beating on the door. Daddy, Daddy, Daddy. Hang in there Brother Taylor. Oh, what's going on? Said she was weeping and sobbing and crying. And said finally he got her to where she could talk. And she said Daddy, the Lord visited me tonight. Come over here. She said, he got her calmed down. She said, tell me honey, what happened? She said, Daddy, we prayed. And I laid down that night. And said I was so sick. And my stomach was hurting. And said as I laid there. And I got to thinking about him. She said, I felt faith begin to come in that dark room. And as I felt faith come into that dark room. She said, I kept reaching for him. And this is what that young holiness lady said. She said, Daddy, I heard his voice. It said, Daddy, it felt like coils unleashed in my stomach. But in weeping and crying. She said, Daddy, I'd go through it all over again. If I could hear him speak to me one more time. Like he talked to me a while ago. Oh, hallelujah. Even it may be a dark time. There's an appointed place. And he's going to meet with you. And I just kind of had a feeling. That it might be on a Friday night. Right here. Amen at Brother Tim Sargent's church. At the gospel light. Holyness church. Would you reach for him? If he's been out of sight. If he's been gone. If you felt like you couldn't talk to him. Would you tonight reach for him? Would you stay with me here tonight? This is not a lame story. It didn't end. As the preacher said. It didn't end. With a fearful Friday. It didn't end with a sad Saturday. But it ended with a victorious day. If you're here tonight. Listen. We're not critical. You've come out of respect for this man and his church. You've come. Some of you took a chance on it. You knew I was here. Amen. But we're all here. There have been times I've needed help. There have been times I've looked through that glass darkly. There have been times that I've wondered. God. So tonight right here just a few minutes before 9 o'clock. I'm not here to single you out. But I feel like that there's more than one of us here. That tonight it would be good if we come around these altars. And said Lord. You're a resurrected Savior now. We're not looking for your grave clothes. We're a priesthood for the empty tomb. But we have a living Savior now. And He can be touched by the feeling of your infirmities. Would you come tonight? Would you come? Through it all. I learned to trust in Jesus. I learned to trust in God. Through it all. Through it all. I learned to depend on His word. I've had many tears of sorrow. I've had questions for tomorrow. There's been times I did know right from wrong. But in every situation God gave me blessed consolation. Through my trials weaknesses made strong. Through it all. Through it all. I learned to trust in Jesus. I learned to trust in God. Through it all. Through it all. I learned to depend upon His word. I've been a lot of places. I've seen a lot of faces. Yet there's times when I felt so all alone. But in those lonely hours. Yet those precious lonely hours. Jesus let me know I am His own. Help me through it all. Help me sing. Through it all. I learned to trust in Jesus. I learned to trust. Oh come on help me. Through it all. Through it all. I've learned to depend upon His word. I've had many tears of sorrow. I've had questions for tomorrow. There's been times I did know right from wrong. But in every situation He gave blessed consolation. My trials come only to make me strong. Through it all. Through it all. I learned to trust in Jesus. I learned to trust in God. Through it all. Through it all. I learned to depend upon His word. So I thank God for the mountains. I thank Him for the valley. I thank Him for the storm He brought me through. If I never had a problem. Wouldn't know that He could solve it. Wouldn't know what faith, faith in God could do.

Could there even be a Christian in this house tonight that could not relate with what Brother Selfridge was preaching tonight? I mean, God gives us His Bible, and then He gives anointing to His men to be able to relate it to me and to you. Somehow, we sit here saying, I've been there. I know what He's talking about. And often, I think sometimes people have run from God so much that His voice is intimidating. It worries me. What's He come for? What's He come to talk about? But when you come under His glorious grace, He comes with comfort. He's come to talk. He's come to help. And I appreciate Him tonight. Aren't you glad for the preaching of the Word tonight? Praise God. Glad for the burden that He brought with Him tonight and how He knew how to address our needs. Praise God. I was over there so many times, Brother Webb. That was me. Yep, I've been there. And it wasn't that long ago, Brother. Just like you said, it wasn't that long ago. Praise God. I'm so grateful for everyone that's here tonight. And I really do appreciate. I can't say how much. I know it's a busy, busy time, especially for pastors being prepared for Easter and the services that are coming up. But thank you for taking time to be with us and to help us here. And we've come together to this place with our desires.
