I'm always flooded with memories every time I come here.

I was 40 years old when I first came here.

So how old were some of you?

Some of you didn't exist 40 years ago.

I walked onto this platform in a season of a bit of difficulty.

It's been amazing.

I'm just flooded with memories.

I remember the time that I used, there used to be a white light there.

It's yellow now.

And I remember sitting over here staring at the light until my eyes hurt,

thinking, God, how am I ever going to make it through this?

There were some difficult days in the beginning.

But God has been so faithful.

And I think I can stand as a witness to you this afternoon.

That through flood, through fire, through trial, through difficulty, through sickness, through

whatever you've got to go through, God will be faithful.

He won't forsake you, he won't fail you, he won't leave you, he'll be with you.

And as Paul the Apostle says, having done all, you'll still stand at the end.

By the grace of Almighty God. I don't know what else to say, but I'm just so grateful to Jesus. having done all, you'll still stand at the end.

By the grace of Almighty God.

I don't know what else to say, but I'm just so grateful to Jesus Christ.

And I'm grateful for one other thing.
