Ward 3 Councilman Larry McAtee welcomes Carlon Tschetter, Senior Pastor of Covenant Community Church.
A
Hi,
I'm
larry
mcatee
ward,
3
city
councilman.
What
a
delight
it
is
a
privilege
to
have
as
our
guest
on
this
christmas
season
show
carl
and
cheddar
pastor
of
southwest
covenant
baptist
church
carlin.
Thank
you
so
much
for
coming
down.
You
bet
good
to
be
here
now.
Some
of
our
viewers
don't
know
exactly
where
southwest
companies,
but
you
kind
of
have
a
personality
conflict
out
there
of
what
mailing
address
and
what
actual
city
you're
in
yeah.
B
B
We
are
located
on
one
of
the
farthest
west
parts
of
the
city
of
oklahoma
city,
so
the
church
is
located
in
oklahoma
city
across
the
street
to
the
west,
as
yukon
across
the
street,
to
the
north
as
yukon
to
obviously
our
our
east
is,
is
the
city
and
to
the
south?
Is
the
city
so
we're
out
there
in
the
outskirts
of
oklahoma
city
area?
Now
you've
been
in
oklahoma
for
how
long
yeah
we
are?
B
It's
been
really
exciting.
Obviously,
a
part
of
our
heritage
at
covenant
when
I
came,
was
just
a
real
sense
of
the
world
that
we
live
in
and
the
needs
of
our
world.
So
there's
been
a
strong
mission,
outreach
literally
around
the
world.
We
have
about
33
families,
missionaries
that
we're
supportive
of
is
in
all
parts
of
the
world,
and
then
we
do
a
lot
of
things
within
our
own
community.
B
You
know
it's
it's
so
easy
for
for
a
church
and
we
struggle
with
it
just
like
anybody
else
to
kind
of
turn
inward
and
take
care
of
yourself.
But
you
know
we
really
want
to
fulfill
what
we
believe
is
god's
call,
which
is
to
go.
I
mean
that
was
obviously
the
last
thing.
Jesus
said:
wasn't
it
to
his
disciples
was
to
go
into
all
the
world,
and
and
so
that's
what
we
we
we
try
to
do.
A
Well
and
that's
what
we
want
to
kind
of
focus
in
on
today,
and
we
want
to
do
that
and
those
of
you
watching
we're
not
trying
to
bring
attention
or
try
to
brag
about
what
goes
on
at
covenant,
but
we're
trying
to
encourage
you
to
think
about
how
you
can
minister
and
some
of
the
things
that
you're
involved
with
thanksgiving.
We
have
a
special
ministry.
That's
been
going
on
for
several
years
yeah.
It's.
B
B
We
understand
that
there's
constraints
there
that
everybody
faces,
but
he
had
the
idea
that
if
we
could
provide
a
meal
that
would
be
really
special
for
the
prisoners,
and
so
we
started
doing
that
a
number
of
years
ago
and
and
we
have
the
families
of
our
church
that
do
everything
but
the
turkey
and
we
load
all
of
that
up
and
take
it
out
there
to
them.
And
it's
just
been
a
really
neat
thing.
Our
our
folks
have
really
responded
to
that.
B
B
B
Yeah
they
know
you
know
it's
it's
we
do.
We
do
angel
tree
ministry
as
well
to
families
of
children
who
have
incarcerated
parents,
and
you
know
it's
easy
to
look
at
some
of
these
life
circumstances
that
people
find
themselves
in
and
and
and
to
be
somewhat
judgmental
of
of
what
has
brought
those
things
about,
and
but
most
of
the
time
I
I
think
in
in
just
reading
these
comments
and
hearing
from
these
family
members.
B
They
realize
that
they've
made
some
bad
choices,
and
so
now,
at
this
point,
what
we
get
to
do
is
is
really
just
be
the
arms
and
the
hands
and
the
voice
of
christ
and
their
life
and
and
bring
some
encouragement
their
way
and
just
let
them
know
people
love
them
and
care
about
them.
Even
though
they're
in
a
difficult
spot
and.
A
B
It's
it's
over
10
years
now,
I
think
they're,
probably
in
their
11th
year,
it's
called
reach
ministry,
which
is
a
ministry
to
an
apartment
complex
within
the
city
of
yukon,
where
there's
just
some
again,
some
people
that
have
found
a
difficult
place
in
their
life,
and
so
we
have
the
opportunity
to
go
over
there.
Every
monday
we
go
over
a
group
of
folks
from
from
our
church
and
from
from
some
other
churches
that
join
with
us
on
that
they
go
over
and
they
kind
of
do
a
well.
It's
called
their
church.
B
For
them
I
mean
it's
really
a
monday
church,
but
it's
just
a
club
time
for
the
children.
They
play
some
games.
They
share
some
stories.
Obviously,
from
the
bible
with
these
children,
we
have
an
ongoing
ministry
in
their
lives
throughout
the
year
helping
out,
maybe
with
some
clothing
needs
coats
during
the
winter.
We
we
just
try
to
be
responsive
to
to
again
people
who
are
less
fortunate
and
just
in
a
difficult
life
circumstance.
B
A
B
B
But
we
do
we
partner
with
a
ministry
right
here
in
the
inner
city
of
oklahoma
city,
where
our
students
come
down
for
two
or
three
days
in
a
row
and
just
really
give
physical
help
to
people
and
to
situations
that
maybe
they
need
their
house
painted,
or
some
yard
work
done
or
or
just
minor
repair
things
that
they
can
do.
It's
almost
a
little
bit
of
an
urban
renewal.
Push
of
trying
to
again
just
give
people
a
hand
to
help
them
in
a
way
that
maybe
they
they
need.
At
that
point,.
A
B
Yeah,
I
I
you
know
almost
every
christmas.
I
I
go
to
that
wonderful
statement
in
galatians
4,
where
the
apostle
paul
says
in
the
fullness
of
time
when
the
fullness
of
time
was
come,
god
sent
forth
his
son
born
of
a
woman
born
under
the
law,
and
it
really
just
reminds
us
of
how
human
history
was
changed
when
god
sent
his
son
when
the
fullness
of
time
was
come.
B
So
all
of
the
events
that
god
providentially
was
orchestrating
came
to
the
right
time,
and
that
was
the
time
that
god
changed
human
history
forever
and
that's
the
message
of
christmas
for
us
is
that
god
sent
his
son
to
be
the
savior
of
the
world
and
for
god,
so
loved
the
world
that
he
gave
his
only
begotten
son.
That
whosoever
would
believe
in
him
would
not
perish
but
have
everlasting
life.
So
it's
a
message
filled
with
hope.
In
the
midst
of
a
world
that
is,
oftentimes,
looks
pretty
hopeless.
A
B
B
Absolutely
but
opportunities
abound
as
well,
and
you
know
if
we
can
just
give
to
people
an
understanding
that
in
themselves
and
in
their
circumstance
there
may
not
be
a
lot
to
hold
on
to
at
any
given
time,
but
with
with
god.
There
is
great
hope
and
there's
there's
great
opportunity
out
there.
So
that's
what
we
want
to
do
as
we
go
into
2013.
A
We
appreciate
that
message
because
that's
in
effect,
what
we're
trying
to
do
here
at
oklahoma
city
is
provide
hope
for
our
citizens
and
to
communicate
that
hey
our
best
days
lay
ahead
and
we
are
blessed
people,
but
with
that
blessing
comes
responsibility
and
we
need
to
be
reminded
of
what's
really
important
at
this
time
of
the
year.
Absolutely
thank
you
for
coming
down.
Thank
you
for
what
covenant
does
to
add
to
our
community
and
thank
you
for
watching,
and
may
you
catch
the
enthusiasm,
the
commitment,
the
faith
in
these
challenging
times.
