The hit to Damar Hamlin was horrific. Millions of people across America and the world have seen it. Is this why the players on the field turned to prayer for their teammate and opponent? Did they all come together as one?
Why does Pastor Johnny believe that God heard the prayers for Damar? Pastor Johnny: “That’s the beauty of our God – He hears every prayer!”

Title: Word for the Week: Salvage Yard
Topic: Inspirational and Motivational
Discussed by Pastor Johnny Teague
with Church at the Cross Houston (www.ChurchAtTheCrossHouston.org)
As we age, our physical bodies need overhauls and replacement parts from time to time. This is also true for many objects we hold dear, such as cars.

Questions/Issues Discussed:
Pastor Johnny Teague graduated high school in 1981. What happened to his ’67 LeMans when he was a junior in high school?
Why did Pastor Johnny choose a ’77 Mustang as his next ride? Was it a muscle car or far from it?
If that car could speak, what would it say?
What is the significance of Chalk Mountain? Could his little Mustang make the climb? Pastor Johnny discusses how hard it was to drive up the mountain and why his friend suggested getting a “header”.
Pastor Johnny’s Word for the Week is entitled “Salvage Yard”. Is this where he found spare parts for his trusty old Mustang? Pastor Johnny admits that he gets a little sentimental about the salvage yard and the Mustang he found there to use for spare parts for his own car.
Like this old Mustang, do we need replacement parts and tune-ups from time to time?
PRODUCER’S NOTE: It’s been just over two years since Terry Lowry had his quadruple bypass. To God be the Glory that he is still alive and kicking!!
Like that header, does Jesus Christ give us power, through the Holy Spirit, to make it up the mountains we face?
Is America just an old nation that needs to be discarded or replaced? Pastor Johnny believes that, unfortunately, many do feel this way. He says: “What grieves me is that so many don’t see this nation as one that has provided so much good for the world. They focus on the things that we’ve done wrong.”

know that I Am God. There is a way that seems right to man, but in the end that
way leads to destruction”?
