How many of you began to doubt God as I was telling you this story?

How many of you was wondering, "Well, why would God ask Abraham to do such a thing?"

2 Corinthians, right? 2 Corinthians, 3:17, that's the whole ballgame.

...just like it was in the Babylonian Empire

when these words were written, is jacked up.

We believe that God has commanded us to separate ourselves from other races.

Not because we hate the other races or because we feel we're better or worse,

but because we believe God intended...

We need to keep... at length,

for the right reasons.

...the kinds of kids that are called super-predators.

No conscience, no empathy.

We can talk about why they ended up that way... - Are you fed up

with special privileges given to Blacks?

Please, please, tell me...

So I had a talk with, with the coaches over there,

and they are so excited about having Trey,

well, the potential about having him come out.

I think it will be a solid place.

I mean, it's a full ride,

and they think that he can slide into the rotation this freshman year.

At the very least, he'll get a spot in the bullpen.

And Bethel's set to compete next year.

That's the religious college, right?

Yeah. I mean, I, I think there's some affiliation,

but it's not a vacation Bible school or anything.

They got a solid program.

Weren't you sitting here a year ago, talking about, what, the...

...power conferences recruiting him.

Yeah, that was when he was hitting

the mid 90's, though. This year we clocked him in

at 89, 90, 91. He slipped a little bit.

Too many sliders?

Are we here to talk pitch selection, Mansa?

No, Coach. - Okay.

It was brought to my attention that a student reported

some inappropriate conduct in the locker room

that we feel could violate code 17.3, which states,

"It is improper for faculty or employee of any rank

to engage in any type of sexual conduct or conversation

that causes a student or colleague

to feel intimidated, embarrassed, or uncomfortable.

Who did they, who did they report?

You, Coach.

Me?

What do you mean, me? They reported me for what?

Who reported... - Hey, I'm gonna need you to relax.

There's a fair procedure that we follow for matters like this.

I'm just alerting you that I have multiple students

telling me that you discussed sexual acts with them,

specifically which acts they should

or should not partake in before game day.

Come on! Come on! That is just athlete banter.

Mansa, that is just banter. That's all it is.

These are young men. I'm trying to connect with these guys.

In fact, it's our job to be there for them...

It's our job to protect them. That's it.

Look, I just wanted to give you a heads up

before there's any official proceedings.

Um... Mansa,

this is a, this is a big waste of your time in my opinion.

All right? These kids can be, they can be overdramatic,

they can be sensitive, and...

look, I'm all about the process, and I have...

If there... if there's anything that I can do

to help you to prove that I haven't done anything here,

you just let me know, and I'm right here... - Thank you, Coach.

But you can leave now.

"...God came into... my life...

...when I thought there... was nothing left far...

for, for me.

I am th... thankful for you all.

As some of...

...as some of you...

...know, I am v...

I have been recovering from a..."

...is that God can use flawed leaders

to benefit His kingdom.

Sometimes, we point fingers at those in charge,

but we need to be reminded that none of us is without sin.

And we can all be used for His work.

A leader who the world deems a little untraditional,

maybe a little brash,

can accomplish some great things in the eyes of God.

I wanted to say a few words about our next sermon series.

The theme...

...is loss.

We are gonna hear from people in this very room

as they share with us how God has delivered them from their loss.

But the first story you're gonna hear from

is the man who helps produce our video content.

Everybody, please give it up for my main man, Mansa Harper.

You got this, my brother.

Thank you, Pastor.

As some of you know, I have been...

...I have been re... recovering from a brain injury.

They thought I was dead.

When I... finally woke up, I thought...

...I might as well have... died,

because I...

...not who I used to be.

I don't even...

...remember who I used to be.

I do know I still have a... billboard in...

b...

mid-city.

It's kind of...

...the...

...they did.

But it's s... still there.

So sorry. My brain sometimes works like a, like a...

...old internet wireless router.

Sometimes you have to keep refreshing.

When I first... got here,

I d... didn't have any close friends

or close family,

but now I have you all.

So thank you and Pastor.

We have a good man leading this church.

There isn't anything I... wouldn't do for him.

And these are the type of stories that make Core Fellowship

a church unique to this city.

A church full of diversity and truth.

A place where folks like Mansa and I,

as different as we look,

have one common goal.

To serve Him.

Amen. Amen.

Take us to the offering, Holly.

♪ Jesus, we praise Your name ♪

Mansa, hey. You were...

you were great up there. - Thank you, Lori.

Pastor better be careful, you about to steal his job. -

I'm not as, as charming as him.

Stop. You were great. Terry and I, we both... we loved your story.

Is... Terry here?

He should be, um...

he said he was, um, having a meeting with Pastor.

I was trying to wait for him, but, um, I got to grab Owen

and take him to taekwondo.

I... I can get T... Terry, if you'd like.

That's okay. Just let him know we'll meet him there.

Thank you so much, though. You, you really blessed us today.

Okay. Bye-bye.

All right.

So, in the last fiscal year...

...$8745.

Yeah. I'm gonna need that back.

What?

I need that $8745 back.

Well, Terry, it's a, it's a donation.

We can't just give it back.

I think Lori and I have given enough.

Well, I... I'm sure we could figure something. -

Hey, come on in.

How you doing, T... Terry?

Hey, brother. Great speech today. - Thank you.

Sorry to interrupt,

but Lori wanted me to t... tell you

to meet her at t... tae... - Taekwondo.

Got it.

Well, Terry, let's talk about this soon, yeah?

Yeah, soon.

Hey, we'll figure this out.

Hey! My man!

Hey!

People were going crazy about your story today.

I mean, you freaking killed it, man.

I mean, killed it! Knocked it out of the park.

I wish we would've been filming that.

I mean, we could've used that for our fund raising video.

Anyway, look, I think there's still real opportunity for our Ruins video.

We can combine that with our year end giving campaign.

How do you feel about starting the edit?

Whatever you need, Pastor.

My man.

All right. Yeah, let's start.

Okay.

The church is dying.

It's not dead, but it's close.

Now, I'm standing...

...in front of what was once a Christian commune of sorts in the 1920s.

But while the inhabitants were Christian,

they weren't very Chris... Christ... like...

Shit! Fuck!

How am I gonna read the lines if you flip the card before I finish the line.

All right, do not let anybody see that, my brother.

Man, Pastor.

I just sent it out to the church e... newsletters.

Boy, don't you even joke like that with me!

Can we use that other take and go to the close up that we looked at earlier, yeah?

And then pick up at the walk and talk by the pit?

And action.

This is where the story of Emmanuel Church gets bleak.

Well, it is fair to believe that they were, for all intents and purposes,

good Christians.

They were infiltrated by socialists.

I mean, this is legit, man.

Like legit. - Really?

This is totally the type of video that Church of Elevation plays.

...living equally amongst themselves...

And Lord knows they have no issues raising money.

...that didn't go so well.

Hey, you think we can get this up by the end of next week?

This here, what started...

I'm not sure, I'm s... I'm still learning the program.

...private health... - Well, let's just say Tuesday by end of day.

Most of these people suffered and died.

Let's get back up in the a.m., yeah, bud?

Whatever you need, Pastor.

Here, this church was literally burning itself alive.

Hey, yo, my man.

Let me ask you a question.

Why do I always see you hanging out

with that bootleg-ass pastor?

I... I, I w... I work for him.

Y... you should come to our... - To that white-ass church?

It's for everyone. Are you saved?

Shit! I've been saved, like, ten times.

Hey, you know it's all bullshit, though, right? Being saved?

Brother, you know the pastor be fucking the congregation.

All about that money and that pussy. Real pimp shit.

Your boy, too. I looked it up.

Past... Pastor's a good man.

That man works, what, an hour a week?

Then he comes here doing yoga all loud and shit.

Always waking me up with his loud-ass TV.

Fucking downward dog and walking pigeon and crying babies and shit.

Sounds real good to me.

Pastor doing what God told him to do.

God blessed him.

Damn. He got your ass good, huh?

I bet you're like his bottom bitch.

I bet it's your job to lure all the Black people to his church.

Fucking snake.

Man, I'm just fucking with you, dawg.

Hey, but trust me, I've been his neighbor for a minute.

He's on his, what, his, like, fifth church now?

You're the first brother I've seen come around here.

That's pimp shit for sure.

You should follow our social media.

Core Fellowship.

He might change your life, like he did mine.

Hey, I don't need no white man saving me.

And you shouldn't neither.

Best mission trip ever. Period.

Come in.

Terry.

Appreciate you keeping last week's events between us.

What happened, that's not me.

But both of us know there's been some things that have happened

that neither of us should be proud of.

My first instinct was to find another church,

but my kids would be crushed.

And Lori has a community here.

You and I need to come to some kind of an agreement

on how to move forward.

Hey, look, Terry.

I honestly... I don't know where any of this is coming from.

Are you serious?

Mr. Frankie... - We're talking.

...you need to leave. - Give us some time, please.

I'm not gonna ask you again. You need... - Don't touch me!

Wow. Wow, that was beautiful. Thank you so much, Holly.

Thank you, Worship Team.

I hate to take us down from that spiritual high that Holly just put us on

but... I'm gonna get Old Testament on y'all.

Everybody please turn with me to numbers 20:22.

"And the children of Israel

journeyed from Kadesh and came on to Mount Hor.

And the Lord spoke unto Moses and Aaron in Mount Hor,

saying, 'Aaron shall be gathered unto his people,

for he shall not enter into this land

which I have given into his children of Israel.

Take Aaron and Eleazar his son and bring them up to Mount Hor,

and strip Aaron of his garments and put them upon Eleazar his son.

And Aaron shall be gathered unto his people,

and shall die there.'

And Moses did as the Lord commanded.

Moses stripped Aaron of his garments

and put them upon Eleazar his son.

And Aaron died there on top of that mount.

And when all the congregation saw that Aaron was dead,

they mourned for Aaron 30 days...

...even all the house of Israel."

This God of justice, of just punishment,

is in this room with us today.

But so is his son.

And I'm here to tell you that his son died on that cross

to save you from the worst wickedness in your heart.

The worst deeds that you have done.

I wanna ask all of you to bow your heads, please.

And, um...

...and if you wanna accept this forgiveness, this eternal grace

for the first time and be free from your sin,

I want you to raise your hand right now.

Don't be shy now. It's just me and the Lord watching.

Wow, wow.

It is absolutely amazing to see what the Lord is doing

in our lives here at Core Fellowship.

Hey, hey.

We're gonna be okay.

You did good.

You did so good.

We're gonna be okay. Okay?

Say it with me, "We're gonna be okay."

We're... gonna be ok... okay.

Who did good?

Who did good? Mansa did good.

Mansa did good.

It's all right.

And God forgives. God forgives.

God forgives.

God forgives.

Hey. You're my boy. My man. My man.

My man.

Keys.

Where are we taking him?

The Ruins.

You okay?

Have to use the restroom.

We've gotta be strong in Him, Mansa.

We aren't alone in this.

All throughout the scripture, sinners were used by God for his will.

Peter, Samson, Rahab, even King David.

He had an affair with a woman.

Impregnated her.

And killed her husband to cover it up.

But David didn't wallow in his guilt.

No, he allowed God to use his sin for good.

David married that woman and they bore a son, Solomon.

When he inherited the throne and became

one of Israel's greatest kings,

it was God's will.

It's what God had written.

Who are we to stand in God's way?

Next week on Bible Brothers, we're gonna be back with the original brothers,

Cain and Abel. Bring your night light, because it's gonna be freaking dark.

Yeah, not only are they the first brothers,

they're the first cold-blooded murdering sibling duo in the Bible.

Need his face.

Pastor...

Fuck.

You n... need to open his, his eyes more, Pastor.

No. Open his eyes.

I'll hold the phone up for you. - Pas... Pas...

Open his eyes.

Come on.

Got it.

Wait! Don't lock it.

What?

We need his face again.

All right. Let's go. - No...

Let's go.

Let's go.

Come on.

All right.

Grab his upper body. Ready? One, two, three.

Pull him out, pull him up. Down.

All right, let's go. Pick him up

and we're gonna take him back over there, okay?

One, two, three.

Let me get in front. Ready? Come on.

All right, put him right here.

All right. On three, we just push him over, all right?

One, two... - Pastor.

What?

It's not right, Pastor.

Please.

Got kids, Pastor.

God's made his choice, Mansa.

You ready?

Come on.

One, two, three.

Stop! Pastor, pastor!

It's Lori, Pastor!

She knows! Pastor, she knows we're in Palmdale.

She's tracked us, Pastor.

Shit. Shit.

The tracer thing, turn it off.

No, Pastor.

It'll look suspicious, Pastor.

Yeah. All right. Um...

What are we gonna do, Pastor?

Pas, what are we gonna do?

Pas...

All right, we're gonna get the body out. We're gonna take it to the city.

We'll dump the phones and then we'll dump the body, okay?

Trunk. Hey, Mansa, pop the trunk.

Mansa, hit the red button!

God damn it! The two!

You go down and push and I'll pull.

Come on. We gotta hurry, buddy, we gotta get out of here. Let's go.

Hey, buddy, we gotta move. We gotta move,

we gotta move, okay?

Go, now!

Attaboy. Attaboy.

Come on.

Okay.

That's right. You gotta push him, buddy, you gotta get down there.

Grab his legs right there. Grab his legs.

Grab his legs. Okay. And push him up, and I'll pull.

Let's go! Come on!

Make it to the other side. Push!

All right, let's go. Get out.

Come on.

You gotta get out. Let's go. We gotta go.

Two, three. Attaboy!

All right. Pick it up.

Let's go. On three.

Mansa, we, we gotta move. Come on.

Ready? One,

two, three.

All right, go. Go, go!

Come on. Right. Come on.

Attaboy. Hey!

All right, drop it right here.

Pop the trunk.

What's up? - Pastor, pas...

What? Mansa, where are the keys? - Um...

Mansa, where are the keys?

Pas... Pas...

It's in there, it's in there.

Tell me you didn't drop the keys in there.

Tell me you didn't drop the fucking keys in there!

God damn it! God damn it!

Hey, hey. It's okay.

He... hey, hey, hey...

It's okay. It's okay.

Hey. Hey, buddy.

I need you to go back in there, okay?

You gotta go back in.

We gotta get the keys.

Come on.

Get up. Get up!

Get up! Get up! - Pastor! Pastor!

Get up. You gotta get the keys. Get up, get up, let's go. - Pastor!

Hey, buddy. Hey, come on.

Mansa, we gotta get the keys. Now!

Come on, buddy. You're doing so good. Hey, you're doing so good.

Pastor! Pastor! - Shut the fuck up!

You all right?

I am. Thanks.

Then what the fuck are you doing out here?

Just a little hiking.

I gotta get out of the city sometimes.

Why don't you go on and get back there?

Kind of embarrassed to say, but I got myself stuck.

Let's get you on out of there then. - That's all right,

I got roadside assistance coming.

You don't need to wait for them.

You know, this ain't no damn national park.

People live here. Kids play out here.

Who know, it's only a matter of time before...

...you all come out here and colonize this place, too.

You got other spots you can do your damn psychedelics.

I think you... your ju... I think you got a fuel leak.

What the hell you was thinking

coming out here in a sedan.

Time I... I had a sedan myself.

Everybody gotta drive something, get somewhere.

I, I think you...

Fuck!

Fuck!

Let's get this done.

Where will Terry be tonight?

We need to drop off his phone.

Chinatown.

He's got a business there.

Just leave it by an open restaurant or something.

Hey, Lori. - Hey, um, listen.

I'm so sorry to call this late.

No, I'm your pastor. You can call me any time.

Thank you.

What's going on? - I don't know. I...

I'm worried. Um,

Terry, he's... he's been acting really strange.

I keep calling him. He's not picking up.

I don't know if he's mad at me or if he found out...

if he found out about... - Lori, stop.

There's no reason to jump there.

Listen to the word.

Worrying is not gonna add a day to your life.

You're right. You're right.

What's actually happening that's making you so nervous?

He wasn't at service today.

He didn't go to the kids taekwondo...

He wasn't in service? - No.

Well, look, he was definitely in church, at least before I went on stage.

He was? - Yeah. He stopped by my office.

He poked his head in right before,

and he didn't seem weird,

he seemed pretty Terry to me.

Okay.

I mean, tha... that's good, I guess.

You want me to try calling him?

No, no.

That would kind of be weird. I mean, why would you call?

It... h... he would think... - Lori.

I'm his pastor, we have a relationship.

I'm your pastor and we have a relationship. - Hey, Mommy.

There's nothing out of the ordinary.

Hey, Mommy, can you open this?

Stop it. I am on the phone.

But, Mommy... - I'll be there in a sec.

I'm sorry, Owen needs help with something.

Okay, well,

when we get off the phone, I'll, I'll call and check in on him.

Pastor, before you go, um, could you pray for me?

Yeah. Of course.

Thank you.

Dear Lord...

...we are broken...

...and we need You.

Lord...

...we ask that You be with Terry tonight.

Be with Lori. With their beautiful kids.

We thank you, Lord...

...for Your continual grace,

and Your constant forgiveness.

In Your name...

Hey, Lori, I gotta go. Um...

But when we get off the phone, I'll, I'll call and check in on him, okay?

Okay. Well, thank you, Past... - Okay.

Let's go.

Pastor.

Pastor, it's getting... - Right.

Terry's family deserves a chance to say goodbye.

It's too late for that.

Are you gonna be weak...

...or are you gonna be like King David?

Ready? One, two...

Hold...

Let's go, let's go. Come on.

One, two...

Take his leg first. Hold the legs.

Watch...

Take him.

That's it, Mansa.

Let's go. Come on, come on!

All right, stop here.

Right here, stop right here.

All right. Come on.

Get him up.

Pastor.

Is... is your roommate here?

Reggie.

Fuck you want?

I was... I was here yesterday, right?

What?

If anyone asks, I was here.

You saw me yesterday afternoon at pastor's door.

Right?

Yeah, yeah, I saw you.

God will test you.

God will test your faith in Him.

Now, in Genesis 22,

God tested Abraham in the most unimaginable way.

God tells Abraham to sacrifice his son, his only son,

as a burnt offering.

Now...

...what do you think Abraham did?

I'll tell you what he did.

He takes his son Isaac to the mountaintop, just as God asked,

and his son, not knowing what's going on,

is looking for a lamb to sacrifice.

But little did he know he was that lamb.

Now, you're probably thinking.

"What kind of god is this?"

I'll tell you what kind.

Abraham was on that mountaintop looking at his son, Isaac.

He sees his eyes, he sees him smiling.

Abraham reaches in and he pulls out the knife.

And as he began to strike...

Wait.

Y'all sure y'all ready for this?

As he begins to strike, God sends an angel to stop him.

"Do not lay a hand on that boy," He said.

"Do not do anything to him.

Now, I know that you fear God

because you have not withheld from me your son, your only son."

And then God blesses him with a ram and many, many more children.

Now let that sit for a minute.

How many of you began to doubt God as I ask you this?

How many of you were wondering,

"Well, why would God ask Abraham to do such a thing?"

But you see...

...God will ask us all to do the unthinkable.

He will ask us all to give up something

to show how much we truly love Him.

Truly believe in Him.

And I ain't talking about alcohol or sweets. No.

I'm talking about something that's very precious to you.

I'm talking about something that you love with all your heart.

And no, it's not an easy task, but God blesses those

who are faithful to Him, to those who put no man

or no thing above Him.

To those who are willing to do whatever God asks

in order to preserve and expand His kingdom.

So I ask you...

...what are you willing to do to show your faith in God?

Everybody, please give it up for my main man, Mansa Harper.
