Well welcome everybody. It is New Year's Eve. Can y'all believe it? This is the last day of the 20-20 calendar year. We made it. I'm a survivor. We made it.

Some of us are like, listen, it has been a year. It has been difficult.

It has been a character building year, but by the grace of God, we are about to cross over into a new calendar year.

So I'm not going to be before you long. I understand that you may have other plans for this beautiful New Year's Eve night. I'm just thankful that you have decided to join me. I'm thankful for all of your subscriptions. I'm thankful for your comments, your emails, your

letters that you have sent to the church, your giving. You guys have been

absolutely phenomenal. We firmly believe that your seeds are making a

difference and I think we have a word on tonight that has

been customized by heaven just for your life. I believe it's going to be good because it blessed me in my personal study time.

And don't forget y'all, like Sunday we're starting a brand new series.

The year 2020 was just confined to the month of December, but on Sunday we're starting a brand new

series entitled World Changing. World Changing. We wanted to be said of us that these are

those that turn the world upside down for Jesus. So I feel like I am a man on a

mission on tonight and I want to get straight to work. This is a familiar

passage of scripture depending on where you are in your Christian journey

Verse 12 tells us not that I We're going to read just a few verses.

Verse 12 tells us, not that I have already attained

or am already perfect, but I press on.

Can I get somebody to drop that in the room? Press, press. But I press on that I may

lay hold of that for which Christ Jesus also laid hold of men.

Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended.

But one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead.
