Everybody say, where is he? I'm here. Give the Lord a big hand clap. Come on, everybody.

Well, I am Pastor Ricky Temple. I'm a family member here, and I am thrilled to be in this house today. Are you glad to be here?

Father, we lift our hands today. Are you glad to be here? Father, we lift our hands today in appreciation for you.

We thank God for the leader of this house.

We thank you for the grace and the hand of God

that has brought us to this moment.

We have come through a year of lessons.

The question is, what did we learn this year?

What is the one thing that we can say we came to understand?

After all the bills and the children and the job and the day,

what was our one major lesson that we learned?

So God, we give you glory and honor and praise.

For this day, in Jesus' name.

And everyone say amen.

Before you clap, today's message is around one simple question.

You're not like questions, right? What did you learn last year, this year?

I want to give you my one lesson. I learned something that changed my perspective a few weeks ago.

So let me just get you to do this for me.

Look at your neighbor and say, what did you learn this year?

Hold up one thing and say, one lesson.

Now how many want to hear what I learned?

You ready?
