We also have an angel child, Joshua in heaven. He was 4. It's been 10 years. Thank you for being so open and honest. I pray that God will bless this new chapter of your family life.
Same, while I'm not christian but I love and respect Christianity, I think his words hit different because you feel how honest, caring and loving he is just like I feel too, God bless him, you and all of us. Conservative life
“Arise with Amber” and a “Get up with Granger” I think it would be amazing if Granger could start something similar. You are both such a wonderful heart. The Love of God shine through with everything you do!
What can you say ? I cried my eyes out. I'm a reborn again Christian and so proud to be back with our Lord. I stumble but I get back up and don't lose sight. God has gifted you in so many ways and you and your family have touched so many people with your stories and videos. God bless you and all your family !!!
"I'm filled with joy for what you did this morning." I've preached a few times before, and I can think of very few things that would mean more to me than to hear someone say this. Amber fills the role of supportive wife in amazing ways, and this is just one more example of her doing just that.
Granger community church is honestly the worst most evil unGodly church on the face of the planet!!! I know from personal experience!! It's everything the bible says not to be for a church....
@@sadnlonelywithoutmydaughter911 If that is true, and I am certainly not saying that it is, then that would be the perfect audience for this message from God’s word. We have all sinned and fallen short of God’s glory, so we are all in need of hearing what He has to tell us any time we can hear it. I’m truly glad Granger preached this message to those able to hear it in person, and I’m also very grateful that it can be shared with the rest of us through a format such as this.
Im sitting at work getting ready for my 12 hour shift and i can't stop my tears. Ive been lost in my faith for so long and this truly touched me deep. Thank you Smiths for not giving up and your willingness to share your lives with us. You are making a difference. God bless you
MAN, GOD IS SO GOOD🙌🏼 Hallelujah for the testimony he has given y’all! Encourages all of us in our walks through pain and suffering, to know that if we have been reborn there is HOPE!
You did an amazing job! Myself and a few of my coworkers watched it today on the Granger channel and we were all in tears. I even sent it to one of my closest friends who I knew in my heart needed to hear it and SHE OPENED HER HEART TO THE LORD!!! You, Amber, London and Lincoln have helped me mature in my faith and I will FOREVER be grateful for you all. Can’t wait to see you in September in Indiana my friend.
Absolutely the most humble message delivered through Christ our Lord! May God bless your family and any journey God takes you on 🙏🙏🙏 You have another calling in this Life from God. Please hear what he is saying to your heart ❤
Philippians 2:10-11 [10]That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; [11]And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
i Love ❤️ this sermon “ i’m looking for that minute “🙏🥰 but deep down in my heart GOD is good ❤🙏your testimony has touched me N I Thank GOD that some how you just showed up in my youtube while i was just going up n down “ blessings to you n your family
This moved me to tears and I felt my heart swelling with every word you spoke. I will be watching it over and over! I have been searching for peace, hope and joy since my Son took his life not long ago. Through you, Granger and Amber’s Arise I am trying to find God and learn to seek him everyday🙏🏻❤️Thank you for all you do, you’re truly making a difference in my life.
I lost both my only daughters n I search for peace daily.. so I understand ur search Lauri.. may God grant us both that peace at least part time.. the love one has for our child or children..I have to tell myself u love them n miss them.. but beyond that I cannot understand why yet that they both got taken by other wicked men.. hugs is all I can offer u
May God give you Lauri and Granny Lanna peace in these hard times. My heart cries for your losses. No mother should lose her children, it has to be pain unimaginable. Jesus is the answer, He gave it ALL! TRUST HIM. It is so encouraging that this young man will be an Awesome Ambassador for the Lord!!
We watched it right when he posted the TH-cam link! We pray for y’all regularly and it’s been a joy to see him and the family grow in Jesus and the calling He has for your lives!!
Never knew about or who River was until watching this just now, now River is very much alive to me. All of you including River definitely reached that 1 person you had hoped to reach today and thanks for that. I used to skip the “Arise” episodes because I didn’t think I could relate, won’t ever make that mistake again! Roller coaster of emotions with you guys, well done!
If you can, I'd like to recommend going back through their channel to see as many videos about River as possible. There is so much to enjoy and appreciate from that little man. If you can only watch one, I'd like to suggest this one. It's the one they did shortly after River passed. Granger and Amber speak about him, and then they have pictures and video from his life. th-cam.com/video/9LMmUBsD308/w-d-xo.html
@@bowed305, yup that was a great recommendation thanks. Once again a roller coaster….sad, happy, laughing, got something in my eyes a lot and thankful for them sharing. I know it wasn’t meant to make people sad or upset and in the end it didn’t for me but I’d be lying if I said it didn’t crush me twice today now. I need to take a step back now and just take it all in
Beautiful. Amber I think you can say you are proud and filled with joy. Not many people can get the message of the lord across but he is working within you both and spreading the love. You should start up a YeeYee Farm Church 🥰 keep following his path. Love to ALL the Smith's!
I immediately went to 1 Peter 5:10 and needed this. I am re discovering myself as a person and child of God after several traumatic events and needed to see this verse. Thank you Smith Family!
This is definitely G’s calling. We felt very grateful to be able to be there for him. It truly meant a lot for us to go. It was a very powerful and moving sermon! Halie and I love y’all so much! ♥️
This has got to be the best Smiths episode yet. I watched the sermon and cried. It's as though God was speaking to my heart through Grangers message and it is so what I needed. Even seeing the recap here, made me cry and hugged my heart. Glory to God for Granger being a humble servant of the almighty living God! Praying for you all.
Beautiful word. My son is a pastor and has been now for 15 years, my heart is always thankful to God for using him to such a way. I am proud of him, but not in an boastful or idol way, but with a humble heart. We who are in Christ are all blessed indeed, blessed be the name of our LORD. We are in TX too; Frisco TX at Frisco Bible Church, and will be doing a church plant Celina, TX o r of the fastest growing city in TX by Fall next year!
I was closer to God during my chemo treatments for stage 4 cancer than I had ever been. Now I praise Him and thank Him for the cancer as it taught me what is really important in life. Faith, hope and love. 25 years later I feel Him more every day.
You know, I can see you being a youth pastor..I think it would be awesome, or just travel ministry doing youth conferences/rallies bringing the younger crowd to Christ. It was a blessing to hear your sermon brother..God bless
In 2018 I thought shaking Granger’s (one of my favorite country singers) hand and being featured on his story on Instagram was the highlight of my day! Little did I know God was brining me across one of the most beautiful souls along with his beautiful wife and children! Amber’s arises have helped me through a lot of my bad days, and have brought me joy! I too don’t believe in coincidences, nor do I believe in luck! I’ve been going through my own suffering. I’ve been reading my devotionals, I’ve been praying but haven’t felt peace… but Granger this… this sermon!! Lost but now I’m found, blind but now I see! This is exactly what I needed to hear at exactly the right moment!! Thank you thank you for sharing! Amen
I needed this !!! Just watching what small clip that was there and them words is exactly what I needed . I just started balling my eyes out . I was reborn by watching . I asked GOD to forgive me for everything that I have done and please come back into my life . Thanks so much for the words of GOD I needed it so so much . I just lost my best friend to a blood clot to her heart she was 47 my only friend please keep me in your all’s prayers much love from Knoxville TN
What a beautiful sermon. I just forwarded it to a brother in God that lost his wife one year ago. I truly believe this will help him. Thank you so much for putting joy in my heart. God bless you Granger Smith and your beautiful family
Had to make the 4.5 hour drive to see your first ever sermon. So happy we made it out and was able to be there for such an amazing opportunity for you and your faith. God is most glorified in us, when we are most satisfied in Him!
I watched a few of your videos without subscribing. Today I watched this episode… I subscribed. May you lead a lot of souls to God. You are a blessing.
God always be with that beautiful family. ❤️ So very glad Granger is doing this. God was with him. His words spoke to my heart. My son died on a Tuesday also, he was 39. About four months before he died he told me he wanted to preach in some form. Four years later, still in that horrible, horrible grief, a miracle happened and someone sent an audio Chad made a few months later. He gave a little sermon in it. If the whole story was told, everyone would know that receiving that audio was a gift from God.
That was absolutely amazing! It spoke so much to me and what I’m going through now. God is Amazing how he uses folks like you to bring His word to those who are longing and thirsting for that message exactly! God Bless you! I truly feel you have been called to an even bigger stage.
My husband passed away suddenly in February. I have felt so alone and forlorn since then. These words really touched me. There is joy after suffering - such a wonderful and powerful message. Thank you.
Granger, I just want to say. I struggle with my faith. Because of the things that have happened to me, I often think why would god allow these things to happen to me? Your sermon brought me to tears. I’m going to start looking for a church where I feel like I can connect again. Thank you for this.
Thank you. I just lost my grandfather yesterday. After many years being so angry with my family I went and took my kids to spend Christmas Eve with him and now he's gone. But watching this has given me a little comfort for what's next. Thank You!
With tears streaming down my face I feel like Kelly Clarkson said to Garth Brook... The Dance.. She said she has heard that song for YEARS. Sang it FOREVER.. but NOW, after divorce.. she GETS IT. I my friend, after watching this video I NOW GET IT. The IT being, what I have been feeling but could not describe nor define. Now, I can. I have watched the Smiths since the beginning. I have laughed, cried, I have even fallen to my knees in prayer for this family. I have watched Granger grow and Amber overcome, by leaning on Granger but more especially her Savior, her fear of speaking to a crowd. I remember the day they both spoke at a church, missing the CMA,s to do so. That very day watching that video, I thought, something special is happening here. And, sure enough, here we are. After watching this, I now understand what I have been feeling here lately. I now understand, God has been nudging me and the Holy Spirit has been punching me...all in good ways. Here lately I just bust out and cry during sermons and prayer. I could not explain it. Now I KNOW.. GREAT REVIVAL is upon us my brothers and sisters and my savior is using Granger and Amber within it. I am so honored, humbled and full of joy that God brought me to this family and I am a part of it. Unless God changes your path, never stop country music Granger. Honestly, God is needed in that sector and can hopefully use you to change hearts and souls there but also, please continue to preach.
Granger,,, your Sermon was absolutely Beautiful!!! You should be so very proud of yourself. Iam so very glad I got too see it. Thank you for sharing it with us!!! God Bless you, Amber and London, Lincoln and Baby Maverick. All my love to you all. Jojo from Jetsey
What a wonderful encouraging Word! Thank you for sharing! My spirit is lifted because of your obedience. Prayers for God to lead and guide you and your family each step of the way.
Incredible sermon. I took notes... You truly have a gift. One of my favorite things you said was "I've been able to experience a peace joy and hope that as a believer I know is not fully attained by worldly success, self help books, pills, therapy or any other supplement that only comes from God. He doesn't need us to glorify Him and worship Him. He is the glory. He created us to run on worshipping Him." Excellent reminders from God's word and His promises. Thank you for being so vulnerable and speaking His truth! What a blessing y'all are!!
Thank you granger, my mom has been in a long battle with a sickness and depression. I sent her a link to your sermon and the 1peter 5:10 really spoke to me and her. You really should consider doing a worship album. I know it would touch many people.
Music or Ministry, you are bringing healing to the hurting. River served his mission well and y'all have followed the calling that was on his sweet life. God Bless You and Keep You Always, carry on!
I had never heard of Granger Smith until I watched Moonrise last night on Pure Flix. Then I looked him up and began watching all I could on TH-cam. Amazing singer but yet an amazing lay pastor. I needed his message regarding River. I’ve lost my husband and my first three grandchildren, the first one whom I raised. I have joy, peace, and love in my heart through Christ Jesus because I know that there was a reason for my tragedies that has borne fruit. Thank you, Granger. I will see you in Tempe, Arizona, August 10!
i have experienced great suffering with the death of my husband and i didnt know all this time that my pain could change to joy and peace...that sermon filled me with tears and a path to follow ...i have been there holding the steering wheel so tight filled with anguish indicison and guilt. now i pray a lot for Jesus to hold my hand and lead me to peace and joy thank you Granger for sharing your pain and your journey it meant alot to me.
Oh my God I needed this so bad am going thru a divorce after 23 years of marriage my wife lift me and my kids for a another Man!!! The Emotions the bad thoughts in my head I was going through! This has lift me up so much again Thank you and God bless you 🙏❤
Have been following you since I read Like a River. Can’t ever watch an episode without crying. My mom who was my best friend ever passed away two years ago and I still have not grieved her. Your videos book sermons and voices have been slowly helping me grieve. I cannot thank you enough. Then a year ago I found my brother who had been mentally ill and had to see his wife die, dead in his home after being gone for over 4 days in the July heat in Pennsylvania. I cannot get that image out of my head. I have been a Christian women, I admit not going to church though, but since your book and your videos, I am starting back with my sister and her family and would love if your ever back in pa to come speak at our church. I have been so inspired by you and your family. God bless you and thank you from the bottom of my heart-Heather
I'm so sorry I lost my mom to suicide in2006. I always thought I'd be sad that joy wouldn't come back. But it does. I love in the word where it says weeping may endure of a night but joy comes in the morning. May the balm of Gilead heal you. 🙏🏽💗🤗
I am thrilled and overjoyed that God is calling and using you in this way. When God called me I was a nightclub musician and a nightmare to be around. I gave up music completely knowing that if I continued playing I would be pulled back to where I had been. But after 2 years God called me back to music and began to use me in ministry. Then after 7 years he sent me to Europe as a worship leader on a ministry team. I know that if I’d followed my own way I would never have gone to the places I have or done the things He has had me do. That was in 1980, I’m now pushing 70 and haven’t stopped yet. Be led by His Spirit always, shalom.
I just came across you Granger I am sorry for the loss of River 😢, you are doing the right thing God needs you & you need our saviour serving him is so important because you will then share the gospel with us , how lucky we all are to have you ….love peace joy & blessings Granger & to your family & just one more thing I am beyond joy & gratitude that through your loss he gave us you & we are all blessed……Terri from Canada 🇨🇦🙏❤️😌
I saw in another comment last week asking if Granger would ever do a gospel album. Would love that as well. I am not an emotional person but when you said it was raining again I teared up.
How does anyone give this a thumbs down? I stumbled on your story on you tube with an interview after you lost River. I have since watched your videos. What a beautiful family and your testimony was beautiful! God bless you!
I am thrilled for you. You are such a natural. I appreciate so much how you focused on verses directly from God's word instead of man's wisdom. We can never get enough of hearing what He has to say to us. You delivered His message so well. I kept hoping there was a camera on Chris while you were speaking because I would have loved to have seen how he was experiencing it being right there with you. Maybe we'll hear from him one day about it. Just when you think you can't love the Smiths more...
That scripture at the end of your sermon was right on I needed that…..Thanks for sharing…..Step out more God will meet you and give you the words to say….God Bless!
I said to a friend who’s husband preached...”you must be so proud”. She said, “ I’m proud he’s letting the Lord use him”. I thought that was a sweet answer. 🙏🏻
Granger that was an awesome sermon. Wow. God is using you in a mighty way. May God continue to bless you and your whole family Amber, London, Lincoln, and soon to be Maverick. Always remember Riv!
I think we need to see the dark to find and Appreciate the Light. That was a Beautiful Sermon. You do make a difference in my life. Your positive, caring presence rubs off on me. I live with a Kidney disease and I really look forward to every Sunday video Amber does. We sit down as a family and watch. You do make a difference.
18:40 Granger saying 'remember when he said that Pauly' reminds me so much of the clip of River when he climbs up into his tree fort and then says...'I did this Paul'. I love this sermon, especially the 30 minute version. Be the Light. ✝️
Wow!!!! What a beautiful sermon!!! It was the perfect time to hear God's word because of all of the stress and fear that we are living in and my husband fight cancer. Since the whole sermon wasn't on this video, it still was enough to really hear the word of God. Granger, But when you read 1 Peter 5:10, I literally lost it!! I prayed to God to take it all the anxiety, stress, fear, and pain away. I am a Christian but I have gotten away from the church for the past month and I was lost until tonight. If you do decide to start preaching, please do a Livestream so we watch it since we live in Colorado. Thank you so much and God bless you and your family. You made your momma very proud!!
As someone that has been a pastor. I can tell you it’s never scripted. It’s by His Spirit. We need more people like you. Keep going deeper.
We also have an angel child, Joshua in heaven. He was 4. It's been 10 years. Thank you for being so open and honest. I pray that God will bless this new chapter of your family life.
❤ to your 4yo Angel in heaven!
I don't know why but Granger's words just hit me different than any other people's words👍🏻👍🏻 Love what you're doing Granger 🙏 Yee Yee
Same, while I'm not christian but I love and respect Christianity, I think his words hit different because you feel how honest, caring and loving he is just like I feel too, God bless him, you and all of us. Conservative life
@@udayadams Amen
And now a year later, that is no longer a question mark.
“Arise with Amber” and a “Get up with Granger”
I think it would be amazing if Granger could start something similar.
You are both such a wonderful heart. The Love of God shine through with everything you do!
Totally amazing!!🙏🙏🕊🕊, he sure has the gift,, we no what your nxt job could be👍👍🇺🇸
What can you say ? I cried my eyes out. I'm a reborn again Christian and so proud to be back with our Lord. I stumble but I get back up and don't lose sight. God has gifted you in so many ways and you and your family have touched so many people with your stories and videos. God bless you and all your family !!!

Made me cry tears of joy
His message is still touching people it just got me today. THANK YOU !
Ain't God soooooo GOOOOOD!! I will hold you in my prayers! Your obvious friendship with Jesus and humble spirit blessed me big today! Great job!!

I am feeling joy for your family too! ❤️

Agreed with you
Yeah his music is the best
Its not about what we want, its about what God wants

I truly feel you have been called to an even bigger stage.
My husband passed away suddenly in February. I have felt so alone and forlorn since then. These words really touched me. There is joy after suffering - such a wonderful and powerful message. Thank you.
Granger, I just want to say. I struggle with my faith. Because of the things that have happened to me, I often think why would god allow these things to happen to me? Your sermon brought me to tears. I’m going to start looking for a church where I feel like I can connect again. Thank you for this.
Thank you. I just lost my grandfather yesterday. After many years being so angry with my family I went and took my kids to spend Christmas Eve with him and now he's gone. But watching this has given me a little comfort for what's next. Thank You!
With tears streaming down my face I feel like Kelly Clarkson said to Garth Brook... The Dance.. She said she has heard that song for YEARS. Sang it FOREVER.. but NOW, after divorce.. she GETS IT. I my friend, after watching this video I NOW GET IT. The IT being, what I have been feeling but could not describe nor define. Now, I can. I have watched the Smiths since the beginning. I have laughed, cried, I have even fallen to my knees in prayer for this family. I have watched Granger grow and Amber overcome, by leaning on Granger but more especially her Savior, her fear of speaking to a crowd. I remember the day they both spoke at a church, missing the CMA,s to do so. That very day watching that video, I thought, something special is happening here. And, sure enough, here we are. After watching this, I now understand what I have been feeling here lately. I now understand, God has been nudging me and the Holy Spirit has been punching me...all in good ways. Here lately I just bust out and cry during sermons and prayer. I could not explain it. Now I KNOW.. GREAT REVIVAL is upon us my brothers and sisters and my savior is using Granger and Amber within it. I am so honored, humbled and full of joy that God brought me to this family and I am a part of it. Unless God changes your path, never stop country music Granger. Honestly, God is needed in that sector and can hopefully use you to change hearts and souls there but also, please continue to preach.
Amen and yes he did, one day I will explain.
What an amazing sermon. We needed to hear that. Keep up the good work man. GODS not done yet. Granger always an inspiration
Granger,,, your Sermon was absolutely Beautiful!!! You should be so very proud of yourself. Iam so very glad I got too see it. Thank you for sharing it with us!!! God Bless you, Amber and London, Lincoln and Baby Maverick. All my love to you all. Jojo from Jetsey
What a wonderful encouraging Word! Thank you for sharing! My spirit is lifted because of your obedience. Prayers for God to lead and guide you and your family each step of the way.
Thank you Jesus Thank you Jesus.
Oh I'm crying again. Beautiful
Incredible sermon. I took notes... You truly have a gift. One of my favorite things you said was "I've been able to experience a peace joy and hope that as a believer I know is not fully attained by worldly success, self help books, pills, therapy or any other supplement that only comes from God. He doesn't need us to glorify Him and worship Him. He is the glory. He created us to run on worshipping Him." Excellent reminders from God's word and His promises. Thank you for being so vulnerable and speaking His truth! What a blessing y'all are!!
😭 beautiful sermon
I'm thrilled for you, too. So inspiring! Whatever is "next", I'll be there supporting you. ❤️🙏
Love you Smith family, bring me smiles and joy every time I watch you
Thank you granger, my mom has been in a long battle with a sickness and depression. I sent her a link to your sermon and the 1peter 5:10 really spoke to me and her. You really should consider doing a worship album. I know it would touch many people.
Your sermon and 1 Peter 5:10, really touch my heart, brought tears! Thanks Holy Spirit! I bet your heart was spilling over in JOY, Amber!
Music or Ministry, you are bringing healing to the hurting. River served his mission well and y'all have followed the calling that was on his sweet life. God Bless You and Keep You Always, carry on!
I had never heard of Granger Smith until I watched Moonrise last night on Pure Flix. Then I looked him up and began watching all I could on TH-cam. Amazing singer but yet an amazing lay pastor. I needed his message regarding River. I’ve lost my husband and my first three grandchildren, the first one whom I raised. I have joy, peace, and love in my heart through Christ Jesus because I know that there was a reason for my tragedies that has borne fruit. Thank you, Granger. I will see you in Tempe, Arizona, August 10!
Thanks Granger for your love of Christ in your life you always set a good example for the Lord
All I have is Thank You Jesus, Thank you for using Granger, and Amber🙌🏻🙌🏻🙏❤️ I love y’all so much!!! Gods got this 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

"A man's heart plans his way, But the Lord directs his steps."
Proverbs 16:9 NKJV
The joy on your face is amazing. God is so good. 🙏
Oh my God I needed this so bad am going thru a divorce after 23 years of marriage my wife lift me and my kids for a another Man!!!
The Emotions the bad thoughts in my head I was going through!
This has lift me up so much again
Thank you and God bless you 🙏❤
Have been following you since I read Like a River. Can’t ever watch an episode without crying. My mom who was my best friend ever passed away two years ago and I still have not grieved her. Your videos book sermons and voices have been slowly helping me grieve. I cannot thank you enough. Then a year ago I found my brother who had been mentally ill and had to see his wife die, dead in his home after being gone for over 4 days in the July heat in Pennsylvania. I cannot get that image out of my head. I have been a Christian women, I admit not going to church though, but since your book and your videos, I am starting back with my sister and her family and would love if your ever back in pa to come speak at our church. I have been so inspired by you and your family. God bless you and thank you from the bottom of my heart-Heather
This was a beautiful message and God is blessing you all and many. Thank you for sharing...
I got the goose bumps on this one. I was joyful seeing granger on this different podium. Amazing grace!! YEE YEE !!!!
I know that my heart breaks everyday because I lost my oldest daughter in 2006.
Soo very sorry for your loss. I know this sermon had to be like a soothing balm on your broken heart.
I also lost my daughter in 2006. My only child. It broke my heart and changed me forever.
I'm so sorry I lost my mom to suicide in2006. I always thought I'd be sad that joy wouldn't come back. But it does. I love in the word where it says weeping may endure of a night but joy comes in the morning. May the balm of Gilead heal you. 🙏🏽💗🤗
I am thrilled and overjoyed that God is calling and using you in this way.
When God called me I was a nightclub musician and a nightmare to be around. I gave up music completely knowing that if I continued playing I would be pulled back to where I had been. But after 2 years God called me back to music and began to use me in ministry. Then after 7 years he sent me to Europe as a worship leader on a ministry team.
I know that if I’d followed my own way I would never have gone to the places I have or done the things He has had me do.
That was in 1980, I’m now pushing 70 and haven’t stopped yet.
Be led by His Spirit always, shalom.
Needed to hear this. Been feeling down lately. Love the Smith's.
I just came across you Granger I am sorry for the loss of River 😢, you are doing the right thing God needs you & you need our saviour serving him is so important because you will then share the gospel with us , how lucky we all are to have you ….love peace joy & blessings Granger & to your family & just one more thing I am beyond joy & gratitude that through your loss he gave us you & we are all blessed……Terri from Canada 🇨🇦🙏❤️😌
I saw in another comment last week asking if Granger would ever do a gospel album. Would love that as well.
I am not an emotional person but when you said it was raining again I teared up.
I commented this as well I would love to have a gospel album from granger. This comment needs put to the top
Hallelujah...GOD BLESS YOU & Family...Lotsa love South Africa🇿🇦🕊❤
Man. This is good stuff!!
How does anyone give this a thumbs down? I stumbled on your story on you tube with an interview after you lost River. I have since watched your videos. What a beautiful family and your testimony was beautiful! God bless you!
I am thrilled for you. You are such a natural. I appreciate so much how you focused on verses directly from God's word instead of man's wisdom. We can never get enough of hearing what He has to say to us. You delivered His message so well. I kept hoping there was a camera on Chris while you were speaking because I would have loved to have seen how he was experiencing it being right there with you. Maybe we'll hear from him one day about it. Just when you think you can't love the Smiths more...
That scripture at the end of your sermon was right on I needed that…..Thanks for sharing…..Step out more God will meet you and give you the words to say….God Bless!
Wow, what a beautiful message!!!🙏🏻😭
I said to a friend who’s husband preached...”you must be so proud”. She said, “ I’m proud he’s letting the Lord use him”. I thought that was a sweet answer. 🙏🏻
Wow! Incredible!!!
Every time I hear Granger’s sermon it hits me deeply in my soul. Amber you have an amazing husband London and Lincoln your dad is awesome. ♥️🙏🏻
Thank you Amber and Granger for your service and beautiful words that have filled my heart ♥️
Granger that was an awesome sermon. Wow. God is using you in a mighty way. May God continue to bless you and your whole family Amber, London, Lincoln, and soon to be Maverick. Always remember Riv!
Blessings to this sweet family. So happy you're allowing to used by God for this, to spread the Gospel
I think we need to see the dark to find and Appreciate the Light. That was a Beautiful Sermon. You do make a difference in my life. Your positive, caring presence rubs off on me. I live with a Kidney disease and I really look forward to every Sunday video Amber does. We sit down as a family and watch. You do make a difference.
18:40 Granger saying 'remember when he said that Pauly' reminds me so much of the clip of River when he climbs up into his tree fort and then says...'I did this Paul'. I love this sermon, especially the 30 minute version. Be the Light. ✝️
I think its so wonderful you all openly speak of the Lord and his word Praise the Lord God bless you all
Wow!!!! What a beautiful sermon!!! It was the perfect time to hear God's word because of all of the stress and fear that we are living in and my husband fight cancer. Since the whole sermon wasn't on this video, it still was enough to really hear the word of God. Granger, But when you read 1 Peter 5:10, I literally lost it!! I prayed to God to take it all the anxiety, stress, fear, and pain away. I am a Christian but I have gotten away from the church for the past month and I was lost until tonight. If you do decide to start preaching, please do a Livestream so we watch it since we live in Colorado. Thank you so much and God bless you and your family. You made your momma very proud!!
