Every person...

Every person in this room, in Sulphur Springs, online, you were created on purpose for a purpose.

That God has a plan for your life.

He wants to use you like God's got great things in store for you.

That God wants to use you in spite of your imperfections, in spite of your faults and your failures.

That God wants to use you.

Pastor Denver, our campus pastor in Sulphur Springs, he loves to find cars on Facebook Marketplace that I would call junk.

But he finds these cars and sometimes he shows up and he's driving one of these cars.

When you start asking me top matches that I remember, my favorite matches, I'll say Robert Evans, Wally Darkman, Sulphur Springs, Texas for AMW.

I mean, the crowd, I felt like the crowd was going to kill me, honestly.

Right.

Hot springs were like the peptides.

They keep eating the grass.

When they get to be about 500 or 600 pounds, he takes them to the auction in either Sulphur Springs or Mineral Wells, I think.

It ain't Taco Bell.

There was a restaurant in Sulphur Springs and the owner's son worked there.

And we would go there a lot of times on Sunday after church.

And I'm telling you, every time you walked in, you felt like you were the most important person in the room.

And Lord, I just thank you that whatever you reveal to us, that we need to be more excellent in this area of our lives.

God, that we would not just be hearers of your word, but we'd be doers.

God, that as we go out of these doors today, Sulphur Springs and Caddo Mills, God, that we live a life with an excellent spirit.

God, that because we carry an excellent spirit, that our homes are better.

France.

But then you also have returners like Edith Martinez from down the road in Sulphur Springs.

I see you.

I see you, friend.
