Happy New Year, it's good to see. I'm really honored to be here the first weekend and Sunday of the new year here to speak to you.

Pastor Robert, by the way, is in Amarillo. We have the first week of every year. We have Zion.

There are services every evening. We fast and pray all week long.

And that's what we've been doing this week and Pastor Robert spoke for us on Thursday and Friday evenings did a phenomenal job

preaching on the Holy Spirit and I think that's a series that he actually preached here.

Fantastic, and he speaking there this morning, but it's great to be here and

Pastor Robert and I were talking and you guys have, the church is just

exploding and you guys are building a new building. So many things are going on in

this church and in about six weeks you guys are going to be taking a miracle offering a special offering for the building and just what God is doing here in the church and so I want to I want to speak this morning on the issue of giving.

We just took a miracle offering.

In fact, we have taken miracle offerings for the last two years in Amarillo in two offerings.

This is two weekend offerings.

We've received over $4 million in cash in two offerings.

That's in Amarillo.

Y'all'd be able to do better in Dallas.

Did you know that?

I mean, that's up in

Emerald. So I'm just I'm challenging you this morning to even begin to prepare

your hearts to give because isn't God doing a wonderful thing in this

church? I mean it's a wonderful thing that God is doing

here in the Metroplex and so you're a part of that. If you have your Bible this

morning turn to 2nd Corinthians 9 and this is where I want to preach from it
