Pastor like you're confused.

But I know you

know what fiber is.

You get it in

your oatmeal.

You get it in your

shredded wheat.

Did he say oatmeal!

So you see,

the fiber...

The faith and our resolve

makes change...

We want Dr. Cannon!

No, now, Sister, Sister, do

me a favor now.

We want Minister L.C.

Now hold on, don't be

disrespectful.

We mad, we mad.

This is not time

for testimony

so I need you

to sit down, Sister.

No, you sit down!

Church, hold on, church,

hold on, church.

Hold on, church.

We are still

in God's house.

We are still in God's

house, now.

No, no, it's okay,

it's okay, it's okay!

It's okay, it's okay.

No, we, no-no-no, wait

a minute, wait a minute.

We are still in God's house.

And you're gonna

respect God in God's house!

I'm still the Pastor

in this church.

lam still

the Pastor of this church.

It's time for some

real talk.

And if you don't wanna hear

some real talk, you can go now.

I'll wait.

That's right.

- Amen?

Amen.

All right, Pastor Roberts,

it's gonna be all right.

Y'all wanna

walk with me?

Huh?

Y'all wanna walk

with me?

Y'all wanna

walk with me?!

Y'all wanna walk

with me?

You wanna walk?

I will take this

church to the next level.

If you walk with me.

You wanna walk

with me?

Will you

walk with me?

Will you walk

with me?

Will you

walk with me?!

Will you walk

with me?

Will you

walk with me?!

Sister Williams,

I need you get out of your

chair and walk with me.

You can do it.

You haven't walked

in many years.

Minister,

I can't do it.

In the name of

mighty God,

I need you to get up out of

that chair and walk with me.

- I can't do it.

- Yes, you can.

Walk.

I need you

to walk.

Come on.

You can walk.

You can walk.

You can walk.

You can walk.

You can walk.

You can walk.

You can walk,

come on.

Just another step.

In the name of

the Father and the Holy Ghost.

I got you to walk and I want

you to walk out that door

on the legs that

God blessed you with.

Hallelujah, hallelujah.

You can walk,

you can walk.

Hallelujah.

So how we doing,

sweetheart?

Um...

total offering:

$162.

Well, then...

that's pretty good.

Roland, we're not gonna be

able to keep the doors open.

Well...

we've still got some trust

fund money left, don't we?

No, it's gone.

I've already checked with

four different banks.

We don't

quality for a loan.

I'll just get

another job.

Honey, you already

have three jobs.

It's okay.

It's okay,

okay?

'Cause it's

gonna work itself out.

Didn't you see all the people

from First Baptist, huh?

Casandra told

me about, uh,

Dr. Cannon

and the Bishop.

Yeah.

Yeah, that's

pretty sad.

Hon, do you...

Do you think we

left too soon?

No.

Listen...

What we're doing is God's

plan for us, okay?

He's gonna see

us through it.

It's 10:
30 at night,

where are you going?

Church business.

Oh, give me 15 minutes,

I'll get dressed.

You're not going.

Who is it

this time, L.C.?

How old is

this one?

You're the most pathetic,

ungrateful woman I

have ever met.

All you have

to do is be smart,

pretty on Sundays,

and enjoy the life that

I provide for you,

and you can't

even do that.

I don't even know who

the shell of a person

that's standing in

front of me right now.

You got the nerve

to ask me where

I'm going?

Question

what I am doing?

Why don't you

just go

and throw up

or something.

Do that.

I love you.

I know.

Does that not

mean anything?

If

If

Someone drove up here

this morning

in a 1997 Buick

knowing good damn well

that they just purchased

a $130,000 BMW 76.

You know who you are.

So is that necessary

to point you out?

If you holding

out on the church,

You holding out on God.

If

You need help

with that?

Hey, L.C.

Well...

we need to talk

about expansion.

Expansion, what... you wanna

add on to this church?

It's time for you

to be on TV

like Creflo

or Fred K. Price.

Are you serious?

Look, you are on

that level.

It's time for you and me to

make some real money for us.

And this church.

I bought some time

on the Divinity Network.

You will be broadcasting

live this Sunday.

You are

serious.

Are you ready

for that?

Oh my God, yes, oh

my... thank you, Jesus.

Thank you.

If

So God woke me

this morning and said,

"Pastor Lawrence Case, Jr.

I need you to get our message

out to more people. "

Really, really.

Then he said, "You need

to be on TV."

Seeing that I'm not one

to question God's will...

Don't question

God, no.

I'm here to tell you today,

brothers and sisters,

Don't question.

That the First Baptist Church

of Christ

is going worldwide!

I told you

I would bring ya!

I told you I would

bring ya!

Amen.

Amen!

Told you I would take it to

the next level.

That's good.

I'm gonna ask you...

New voice here!

I'm gonna ask you...

What is all this?

You mean

the TV crew?

You know what

I mean?

You didn't consult me or

any of the board members.

I am the chair

and I made

the call, okay?

No, it's not

okay.

You're turning this church

into a circus with that...

that clown.

You're thinking

small time.

Do you know how much

money we about to make?

It is not

about money.

It's about integrity and

dignity and respect.

When's the last time you

cashed the respect check?

I'm gonna ask ya!

Would you sacrifice

your children?

Look at the children

in here, look at them!

Those of you at home, look

at your children

Look at them!

Look at your

children.

Would you give your

child up, your only child up?

Would you sacrifice

them?

Would you?

Miss Brown.

How old is

your baby.

She's two months.

Two months.

Two months.

Two months!

Whoo, hallelujah,

hallelujah!

Hallelujah,

hallelujah!

Hallelujah, hallelujah!

Hallelujah, hallelujah,

whoo!

Would you

give up your

only child?

Would you sacrifice

your only child

for Mrs. Stevens?

Because I know you don't

particularly care for her.

Would you do that?

I know you wouldn't

do that?

No, you wouldn't do it.

But God did!

Ggq!

Sacrificed!

His only child!

For you!

And you!

Hallelujah!

Hallelujah!

Whoo!

Take camera two.

Keep it tight, keep

it tight.

I don't know.

God, God, God, I am

not worthy.

I am not worthy to

be your humble servant.

I feel love.

I feel love.

I feel your love!

But I also feel your

tremendous loss!

I'm not worthy.

Homerun,

Law, homerun!

- Nice sermon.

- Thank you so much.

Just when you think it can't

get any better, it does.

Well, thank you

so much, Miss Wilks.

Thank you very much.

See you at home,

Daddy?

- Yes, baby.

- Take care.

- We'll talk.

- Absolutely.

Thank you

so much.

Good morning.

Uh... my husband and I

have a bit of sad news for

you all this morning.

Who is it?

Hi.

Uh, do know how

much longer?

Casandra, I'm busy,

what do you want?

L.C., we

need to talk.

L.C.

What do you want,

Casandra?

I want my

husband back.

You reek.

I'm sorry?

- You reek?

- I reek?

The whole room

smells like vomit.
