Welcome to Transformation Church Podcast, where we represent God to the lost and found for

from we believe God will transform your life through

today's message.

This is week one. Somebody say week one, week one, of a series that I'm about to do called very simply

start sharp. Everybody say start sharp. Say it fast.

Everybody say it loud.

We are about to start 2024 sharper than any year as a church that I believe I've been in leadership in this capacity. This is going to be our sharp this year.

God gave me this vision and the plan is a little different.

Usually on the first Sunday of the year somebody else

preaches. Usually I'm away right now just trying to make sure the word of the

year is right. All right Lord one more time. Confirm it to me. tell me this is it. He confirmed what he was going to do three days

into my sabbatical in July. The word of the year this year going to change everybody's life.

But then he gave me new instruction and he said you cannot share the word of the year

until you build value into what I'm going to say.

Because many of us fumble what God gives us

because we didn't think it was valuable.

It came in a regular package, so I guess this seat, some of the greatest advice that I've ever gotten is from the woman I sleep next to every night.

And because her voice is familiar, if somebody else that was on a big platform said it.

I'm telling on myself right now.

I'd be like, oh, that's such revelation.

But she said it last night while I was on my way to sleep. She said, stop with them people and I was like but there's somebody else say it and it's like oh he gave me a rebel like no no no you devalued the package.
