Romans 15:13
Thank you, John. Thank you Sunday, aren't you thankful for that?
As he said it is finished. The father took him. Put him in a grave. Three days later he rose again to give us hope. That's what we're talkin about today. Went to talk about whole. But before we go there, let's pray and ask God's blessing on each and every one here. God's blessing. For the people in Ukraine who are going through some struggles. These days, father, we come before you today. We thank you for the hope that you give us. We thank you for the direction of peace and happiness that we can have. Father, if anyone here this morning does not know you as their lord and savior May today be the day where they say. Yes to you. Father. We ask that you open heart. You open minds to your word that you guys and director and father at each and every day we strive to do what you've called us to do. We pray for the people in Ukraine. We ask your blessing upon them. We ask that this war going on over there will cease and father that they can begin to rebuild their lives and rebuild their families. We pray for those who are administering over there to the to the masses, those who are reaching out to the refugees and and all those around father. We just pray that you would Supply, the needs that are required to take care of those. We know that you're in control. We don't always understand how that works. Totally but father, we know that nothing takes you by surprise. This morning help us to lay our burdens at your feet. Help us the walking away from here knowing that you've got it. And when Jesus name we pray. Amen, numbers, 13, Romans 15:13. This past jet. We're going to read today. is a prayer that Paul the Apostle Paul pray for the Christians in Rome. It's often used in churches a day as a closing benediction. I think it's a powerful symbol. The powerful statement about what God can do in the heart. And in the mind of every Christian, if you're here today and I'll Christ as your lord and savior and by that, I don't mean just mean having a head knowledge, you know that if you were to die today that you would spend eternity with God in heaven forever and ever. That's the hope that we have. If you don't know that you can have that. Hope you just need to say yes to Jesus. Many people would say well, how do I know until I die? And I get there whether I I have arrived or not. Well, don't wait till then to figure it out trust and have all but let's read this passage and Romans 15:13. Now may the god of Hope fill you with all joy and peace and believing that you may abound in, Hope by the power. Of the Holy Spirit. The Apostle Paul is making this request of the god of Hope. What a wonderful name. Not just God, but the god of hope, there's many other names of our God that we can throw out there. But this God of Hope is something that the world needs today. A man, something. We need to trust then a beautiful name. That is there. He is. The only lasting source of hope that we have for meaning in this life or even. For the life beyond death, cuz here's what we need to understand each and every one of us will spend eternity somewhere. If there's a heaven, there has to be a hell, if there's a hell, there has to be a heaven for. So for people to say, well, I don't believe in heaven or hell, then then we need to change. some of the words that we use, Not nobody in this service is always the people in the early service that I have to share with you about because we have heard people. Tell others where they could go. We've heard that. Have we not? If there is no hell, why do we tell people to go there? What's the purpose of that is just a foolish jesterina, fuel foolish talking. It just showing our our hatred if you will towards those around us, but now we share that because here we are. We have a fear that there might be. I've heard many people say, well, if I'm going to hell. I want that. That's where I want to go, cuz that's where all my friends are going to be. There are no friendships in Hell. There are no friendships. You want. No company. Nothing going on when you're not feeling. Well, when you're very, very sick or very much in pain. You don't want other people around. You want to be all alone. Usually.
So we need to understand that the hope that God gives us is the Hope in this life and in the life to come with him because in Hell, there is no hope. The story of the rich man and Lazarus in the hell. The rich man in the Bible, says the rich man died, and he went to his own place called meaning. Heli what the Hades and then he'll he lifted up his eyes and said, send ladders. He didn't go there, because he was rich. He went there because he had no hope he didn't believe in God, the Creator. He didn't believe in Jesus Christ. He didn't believe in in the story of Resurrection in Repentance. He lifted up his eyes and he asked that Lazarus, the one the beggar that he wanted away from his house and want anybody to see this beggar at the gates of espoused, get him out of here, but now and he'll send us so we can go to my brothers and tell them.
The story says that well, why would they believe Lazarus with? If he raised from the dead when they didn't believe in Jesus, when he rose from the dead? True story. It's understanding what God has in-store. So Paul is asking here in verse 13. He's asking that the god of Hope, fill these, believe it with all joy and all peace, but there's two more words that go along with that. What is in believing now? May the god of Hope. Fill you with all joy and peace in believing? We cannot ask God to fill us with joy. Peace. If we don't believe what's the purpose. What are we asking? Just in case? This is just in case you heard me use that almost rationed. The just in case Clause does not work. Well, I believe in Jesus. Just in case will if it's just in case do I truly believe know? We probably probably do not. But he's asking that we believe he's asking to fill us with joy and Phyllis with with peace, but we have to believe.
I'm leaving or trusting in Him. So Paul is not asking that. God disassembly, dump joy and peace in their hearts Without a. Cause the cause is our trust. That causes our belief that causes. There's something going on in our lives that were seeking him out for the problem with you manatee, Is that we usually wait till there's an issue before we go to God. We usually wait till there's something going on that we know we can't handle on their own before we go to him and ask him for guidance and ask him for Direction. We've used every ounce of our own abilities and I'm not saying we shouldn't do that. That's not what I'm saying, but we need to be trusting God through the whole thing. God gives us Faith. But faith is not sitting alone and standing all at home and not moving, cuz we're afraid that if we move something might happen.
Every now and then at our house, I will walk down the stairs from our bedroom down to the living room. In the dark. Have you ever tried that? And you got to what you thought was the bottom step. And we are at the bottom floor. Cuz you was on the counter, but you forgot where you started counting at.
And you got one more step to go but you don't know that you're in the dark at a man. You walk out like it's all good. And that last 8 in. Did really cause some issues going to not if you're not prepared for it. that last a tin can cause some pain and some sorrow in our life and in fact, even death sometimes. For people to fall and fall the wrong way and hurt themselves. Now, you may have noticed something, on top of my head. I did not fall down the stairs. This morning. All is good till I got to the church.
As my duty is or my routine, I guess is every morning. I come to the church. I have a routine that I go through. I I check on some things, make sure everything is good. I hope, I make sure the bathrooms are ready to go because they're in the week they get using. And yes, we got somebody taking care of all that stuff, but they don't usually clean up as well as Miss Lisa does. So I walk into one of the bathrooms there, paper towels all over the floor. Play somewhere, that's not a good presentation. So I pick those paper towels up to throw them in the garbage.
And I came up and I met with the corner of the paper towel dispenser. And I said, Thank You, Jesus.
I did not.
Is there a bachelor? What did you say? I don't think I said anything.
The corner that thing went right into my skull. Okay. Well, I got the skin on top of my head, because my skulls pretty thick. There's somebody here that could tell you that. If you ask her.
Nonetheless, still hurt. Nonetheless. I heard birds chirping and Ice All-Stars going. And it's like, whoa. I guess I'll never do that again. You think that's going to happen next Sunday morning? I'll go through my routine. All over again, do it all over again. And this time, I'll be more aware of. That. Paper towel dispenser. Instead of just coming straight up. I'm going to move over and come up. But maybe my hope is my trust is that whoever throws a paper towels way. We'll hit the garbage. No, it's a simple thing. Isn't it? There are those in our miss this morning, who has had some things going on in their lives, with their health, and with their finances, or whatever. It might be, that is much much deeper than Pastor Clyde hitting his head on the paper towel dispenser. They're keeping us from being everything that God wants us to be. This is what Paul is trying to encourage the Christians in Rome. Could you imagine being a Christian in Rome at this point in time? They just crucified Jesus, the savior of the world, the king of kings, and Lord of lords. Are they marching? They ridiculed him and now they're all in a frenzy because after they crucified him three days later when they put him in a tube Heroes again, and now they're trying to find who took him. Call Shirley what he says was going to happen. Couldn't have happened. Nobody gets a raise from the dead. Nobody comes back alive after what we've done to him. We know we was at we saw, he was at so his disciples must have came in and taken his body. And hit him to make this prophecy of his Resurrection come to life.
Could you imagine living in Rome and this time where Paul is saying to them, listen? Now, may the god of Hope? Fill you with all joy and peace in believing. Why? Because they themselves have heard and been witness to some who weren't believing so much of this death of their Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
Remember those who were gathered around the cross, his own mother, his own brother looked up at him and saw him dying. And the fact you go back to John chapter 14 before that death, as he's ministering, with his Disciples are ministering together. There. They're all together in the upper room. And he says, listen guys. I got something to tell you all the things we've talked about all the things that have come to pass over the last 3 years or happening tonight. Tonight is the day. Tonight is a time that they're going to, that they're going to take me away or they're going to beat me. Please don't worry cuz I will come again. I will receive you to myself. Just like I said. And of course, we know that great verse in John 14:6 where Thomas is Lord. We don't know where you're going. How can we know the way and what did Jesus say Thomas? I am the way the truth and the life. No man comes to the father except through me. See this this hope in this piece at Paul is talking about here in verse 13. This God, of hope. This this guy who will fill you with joy and peace. If you believe if you trust We need to keep believing, we need to keep frosting. And yes, sometimes in our belief or sometimes in our trust. We don't trust as much today as we did yesterday or maybe God has done something in a life. Where today we're trusting you more than we did yesterday. He is God, what was it yesterday? Is the same God yesterday today and forever. He never changes. In fact, he's not even a respecter of persons. Did you know that? He's not going to do more for you and less for me because he likes you and doesn't like me. He gave his only begotten son for all of us that whosoever will. May come may receive the Salvation, this eternal life, but we need to believe in. This is what Paul is trying to get across and get back to those Believers. Those folks and Romy, says, listen. Now met this guy. I would encourage you to go back and read the first part of John chapter, 15, or are Romans chapter? 15. Look what he says. When we then who are strong at the bear, this with the Scruples of the week. Not the please ourselves.
Some of us have more Scruples and some have less. You know, those people. But he says, listen we then who are strong ought to bear with this group, holes of the week. We need to be encouraging building up, not tearing down. But our society, over the last two years, actually for many, many years waiting Morse, over the last two years has been so great and tearing down. Tearing down. Why? Because Injustice. Is there in Justice. Absolutely there's Injustice, but I guarantee you that some of those people who were tearing things down. We're tearing things down because they believed in Injustice. They were tearing things down because they wanted to be able to take of what was not theirs and put it up on their own lives. We've all suffered Injustice is on point. Some people more than others. I, I would agree with that. But think about the Injustice that was put up on our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ for you. And for me. The sins of the world were placed upon him. He was at Supreme sacrifice, that whosoever would believe in him should not perish. But have everlasting life. So when Paul's words, as we look at this verse 13, Paul's not asking God to Simply dump. Joy, and peace into their hearts without a, cause he's asking that these believers do something. Trust in God. Believe that God will guide you believe that God will direct you. What if this morning we were gathered here in this Auditorium? In this building in this place just like they would gather for worship in Ukraine. What if in the midst of our gathering, all of a sudden, the air raid sirens, go off at other things. Bombs are going off around us. Would that get your attention? I'm sure it would. Many things, get our attention. But would you come back the next week and the next week? And the next week? Because you were there, not for any other reason. But to worship the god of Hope, the god of Hope who wants to fill your heart with joy and peace, in your believing, in your trusting, in your following him. I know there's people here going on going around with with things in their life that they're burying and they don't know how to let it go. Cuz we got a controller. We got to fix it and we can't. That's why God sent his son. Are you in for me?
Paul wants them to keep believing. So they can keep experiencing. Joy keep believing till they keep it can keep experiencing this piece that God has Remember what he said to Jesus said in John 14:27. Peace. I leave with you. My peace. I give you. Not the world's peace be unto, you know, the world's piece is messed up a man by God's peace. Is pure God's. Peace is right, God's peace gives hope. That's why he is the god of Hope. He wants to fill our hearts with joy and with peace. What a fantastic prayer. To ask God for others, even to ask God for yourself, Lord, fill my heart. With joy and peace. Not the joy. Bistro, the world to join the. Peace of the worlds were too messed up. We can have Joe and we can have peas when when I'm new life is brought into our families with when a new life is born a man. There's joy this piece in that. but the other day, Your watch on the news. You see you. What was it? 190. Baby strollers. Empty baby. Strollers signifying. 190 lives. Babies. Children's lives were taken out of Ukraine from a bomb.
How does that bring joy, how does that bring? Peace? It doesn't bring sorrow and sadness, but there's still a god of hope that we can trust in. Yes, the losses for those left behind. But let me share with you. Pastor Clyde's, belief. Alright, I believe that every one of those little lives that were lost or in heaven with God. That's the God. I serve. There has to come a time in our lives. When we understand. We believe in Jesus, not to say that. They don't believe, you know, Jesus suffer, the little children to come unto me for such as the kingdom of God, forbid them.
It's so much easier for children to believe in things and for adults.
There's some things some holidays that has children. We believe in some things and we grew up in. What do you mean? That's not. So,
Apparently, I just go ahead and say it was going to do that. How many of Boston are 40? Still believe in some of that stuff? Don't they don't raise your hand metal. I said don't raise your hand. If you're not in your fault, you're not in your forties.
I expect you at the end of church, come up here and confess your faults. Florida Lotto. We we figure it out. We believe in Jesus and eventually if we get taught that enough, we believe it and we figure it out and maybe we walk away from it. So I'm if you have when you grow up a little bit, right, not going to church anymore until something happens. And what does it do? It brings you right back? Because there's hope the god of Hope gives us joy and gives us peace when we lay it on the line with him. A man. That's the God. I serve. What proof. Do you have that children? Go to heaven with David when he lost his son, when his son died said made this statement.
He cannot come to me, but I can go to him. Speaking of his infant child, that died. I believe in that. There comes an age of accountability, some of you may have passed that age. And if you haven't made a decision for Jesus Christ, you better get on that. Otherwise, he's not the god of Hope for you. If you don't believe what he wants to be and what we put our faith and trust in him. Then there's a joy in this piece. And yes, that gets messed up with all the things around us. Shut down. You begin to look at your finances. I got a little bit of a retirement plan. Not much started late in life with man. It comes in. I look at the money that's gone out of that retirement plan over the last few months. Right. I don't own my goodness. What are we going to do? But you know what it is. I'll tell you simply it is this. It's paper. How's that phone, illustration? It's Paper years ago, I was working in a house doing kitchen work and Black Monday. Black money was Black Monday. It was a black dude. I didn't have any money so I didn't care what day it was or what color was Black Monday in the guy comes in. So I'll just lost $50,000 and what do you mean? Why does it matter? Just on paper? On paper. I had no clue what he was talking about. I was never involved in finances of that point. Right? And it came back. But what if everything that we put our faith in our trust in? Went away. What if you go to the bank tomorrow and you can't get anything out of it that you put into it? How does that change your life? What who is your face in your trust in? I don't need those papers. That's why I threw them on the ground. I had him up here in case I needed them. I didn't get past the first page in the first service. But now, the god of Hope. Man, that God of Hope fill you. With joy and peace and believing. Do you have that? God of Hope today? Do you believe do you have that joy? And do you have that piece? I do all it comes and goes depending on what happens. That join that. Peace order went away a little bit this morning when I bang my head. There's a little pain and sorrow at that point in time. But then I stopped took care of business, took care of the head wound and I said, Lord, it could have been worse. Could have been worse. Other things should be going on. But what else he says? That second part of that verse now, may the god of Hope fill you with all joy and peace and believing that you may abound in Hope. What does he want us to do? He wants us to grow. He wants us to about, he wants us to go forth. In Hope, do you have that?
He wants to fill us with joy and believing. He wants us to abound in Hope. How does that happen? Only through, Jesus Christ. Only do what God has done for you and done for me and sending his son to a cross. For those who? Would reject him. Yes. For those that would believe in him. Yes. But for those who even at the last minute, whenever that is, would call out to him.
By hope. You talk about that Grace with which God is the author that Grace was, which God is the object and promoter of Hope. I like that. Hey, if you need to have brain surgery, who you going to go to? Not some guy you look up in the Yellow Pages, probably, right? You're going to ask around. You, going to look for some milk, some people to give you some direction. Who is the best doctor to do this? I might even call it Ben Carson. Remember him. He was pretty good. Right. Why? Because I know who he trusts, then he Boyce's at his faith and trust in God. But I'm not going to just go to some fly-by-night sort of guys. I hate pieces together and fix it with duct tape and super glue. No, you're going to look for the best. You going to look for the one that you can have the most hope in.
Why don't we do that with God? All we know what he can do. When there's trials and tribulations. We know what he can do with his heart, aches and hardships. We know what he could do when we call upon him and when we get through that problem, what do we normally do right back to where we were? We want that normal, whatever normal is, right.
Hope the object, the symbol of all these saying, go over to Isaiah 26:3. Don't have to try. I just gave him the one verse because there's a lot in that one verse. If you begin looking at that verse in Romans, chapter 15, and First 13, there's a lot there, but look at Romans 26:3.
Isaiah, I'm sorry. Okay. I'm working. I'm trying to get through this. Isaiah 26:3 says what he will keep you in. Perfect. Peace. He will, you will keep him in perfect peace. Speaking of God, you will keep him in. Perfect. Peace. Whose mind is stayed on you. Why? Because he want, trust he hopes, he's looking for you for that guy, in that direction. He trusts in you. Trust in the Lord forever. Do we do that or do we get through the situation? We pray. God get me through this and if you give me through this, I'll get back to you everything. Reminds me of a story. I read, I was reading through some things this week and talking of a pastor who a guy came to visit him and it said, pastor. I need $1,000. So here I'm going to give you $100 and in expecting God to give back to me tenfold.
Can God do that? He can, if you want. Some guy writes on a check Hansel to the pastures. And now now hold on, don't deposit. It. Don't cash. It don't work. Just hold on to it. And when God bring gives me $1,000 off coming and give you 100. I'll take that check right out of your hand.
Pascal. Why do you want me to hold on to this? Check. Go because if you deposit is going to bounce,
So what are we get? We're giving God. Nothing. In order to get what? Something.
God gave us something for nothing when he gave us his son, Jesus Christ. Right. Anything beyond that?
It's just sugar on top of what he's already done for us. What else do we need? It doesn't work that way, but I'm giving it to you. Cuz I want you to bless me so I can take the blessings that you bless me with it. Spinning up on myself. Now. I got $900 in. Here's a hundred bucks that I got. Doesn't work that way. It can God can do whatever God wants to do. By faith, there's no faith in giving somebody. Why don't you just wait for God to bless you then? Know the password. He took that check and he deposited that check. You know what that check did. It bounced? The guy comes in the past. He's all mad. He's all upset. Three weeks later for a week later. You said? Why did you deposit? I told you not to deposit that we got tired of holding on to it. How did God bless you? Why you mean, how did I you didn't block me. Already has all these bills. Now that finance charges on you. If you never been that, you don't understand, right? I've been there not because I did it on purpose.
But you know what? Knowing where it was and knowing where we are two different things, right? God provides. He doesn't always provide the way I want. He doesn't always drop thousand dollars at my feet. So there you go. Go. Have fun. The pastor also asked this guy with this question. So when you get yourself some dollars, you're going to give a hundred of it to the Lord. I absolutely. Which wasn't you just covering that? Check that you put their. Well, if you want the lottery and had Millions, would you give Millions to Lord? What will know? Just a portion.
The same guy that gives millions of the same God that gives us thousands or gives us hundreds of gives a Spencer. Sometimes even pennies a man. because when we give to God just as the Widow did, What does he do? He blesses that she gave everything she had, she had nothing left. Her. Hope was not going home. And having a bank account to rest upon her. Hope was going home knowing that she's done everything. She forgot that she could. There's nothing else that you could give and the rich folks, do it around and mocked her and laughed at it. Look at that. She gave two mites. Look at all the money. I gave all the Shillings that I put in there. God does not, that's not how it works. She gave out of her need you gave out of your fortune. Who had the greater faith? That doesn't mean that when we have a lot of money, we give to God that we don't have what we have faith, but that's not based upon what other people do. It's based upon where we stand before. God based upon what Paul and say to the people of the in Rome here, as he sharing with them. What's going on after? They're probably all upset of what's happening there still being bothered mistreated because of their faith. Now, may the god of Hope fill you?
With all joy. And peace. Imagine that being filled with all joy and peace. When you're filled, there's no room for anything else when you're filled with joy, when you're filled with peace, and that's all that's there. There's no room for bitterness. There's no room for other things.
But that's not the way the real world works, is it? Because we pour out the joy, we pour out the peace upon ourselves. We enjoy the things that God has and we don't fill it back up with the things of God. We fill it back up with the things of the world.
I've done a few holes in my life. Whether planting trees, or post, holes, or whatever, it is, as a kid just out, digging holes. If you don't take care of that hole that you have dog quickly, you know, what happens, it gets filled in with other stuff. With other thing that gets blown in from the world around us. The same is true in our hearts. The same is true in our lives. When we don't fill back up with the things of God, the spiritual things. It gets filled up with other things. Let me share this. Last story illustrates have been was watching a little show. It last night is watching some college basketball, the playoffs right in the tournaments, going on. So between that and commercials you, I will go when I watch this show where couples with his father's own, husband, or wife Brothers. Whoever may be just friends, but had to be two of them were shipped off. Seven groups to 40 people stepped off and I forget where they were, but they've shipped off into this island, and, and dropped off in different spots separately from their partner. The partner was set off on a certain area and they had to set up a camp in the other guy was taken. And put on the other side. It miles, 10 miles away, something like that, and they had to find their way to their partner.
They were given a compass in a setting. So husband says to his wife. I'll meet you in 3 days.
The sign says to his father. I'll get you in a few days. Dad, when we'll get there. We'll just we'll just do our thing. And all of these people were Outdoorsman type folk safe there, and it's not their first day on the job, and they know a little bit about what they were doing. There is $500,000 on the line to the couple that stays the longest.
Get through the first night not even through the first day and one brother Taps out. So, when one Taps out, you're both out. It was wet. It was terrible. Terrain walking through and worried and tired. He did trippie did hurt his ankle. He Taps out the first day before the first night came. He Taps out.
They went with the helicopter to pick up his brother to take him to the other one who tapped out and is the brother is he? Okay, is my brother. Okay, is that fine and says? Yes, I don't care that we we can't stay. Is he? Okay? He's okay. Got hurt. He tapped on it, couldn't do it when he said he was okay, if he's definitely couldn't do it. Then you sorta see the demeanor change because it did not matter to him. $500,000, if he was glad his brother was okay, but we didn't even make it one night.
Father, son. The father talking about his son, talking about how he's excited to see his son, turn in up into a man, in this will be an experience that would bring them together or drive a wedge between them. This one at least set up the camp that night. He's got his 10 up and he's got them tear it down the next day and travel on. But you got to stand up and he's in this camp in his tent and there's Bears outside. And he scared. I mean, it's raining. It's wet. It's tough to rain. It's terrible. He's scared. He Taps out. The next day they go get his father. His father's first. Cousin is my son. Okay? Yes. He's okay, just couldn't deal with. It wasn't expecting the terrain wasn't expecting. What was the happened? He just thought it was all going to be like being home and camping out in the backyard.
The father's say, okay, great. I'm glad my son's. Okay, then once he found out, his son was okay. You begin to see the demeanor change. Because they tapped out early.
Listen to meet folks. God. Will never tap out early. You. And I Mike. Remind I might and I know many people who have given up on God. So that's it. I've had enough God's not going to tap out early. He will be there to the end. You know what he wants us to do. He wants us to follow what he says here in Romans 15:13. Now, may the god of Hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing. That you may abound in Hope. By the power. Of the Holy Spirit, we can't do it alone. We need to tap into the Holy Spirit and when we tap into the Holy Spirit and follow the Holy Spirit, God guides us, God directs us. We don't have to worry about tapping out early. I don't know the song that John and Cindy sang up here talking about one day. We're going to die. I don't know when that day is going to be for pastor Clyde to take his last breath. I do not know. I felt baby this morning at one point. That might be it. I'm coming to you either.
Was that was that mean? Maybe I watch too much TV old stuff. I don't know. I don't know when that day is going to be. But here's what I do know, I do know, when that day arrives. I know where I'm spending eternity. Why? Because my face and my trust is not the things of the world and I have some faith in you folks and some trust in you folks, but my faith in my trust is in the god of Hope because I believe in him and therefore I'm going to do the things he's called me to do. To bring some of those blessings to pass not because I did because God is faithful. Hey, man, we can't do it alone. We can only do it. With the holy spirit's help, but pray. Father. We thank you. We, thank you for your goodness. We thank you for your mercy. We thank you for your love. We thank you for the way that you provide for each and everyone of us on a daily basis. Father today. We give ourselves into your hands to guide us to direct us. To give us that joy to give us at peace as we hoping you. You know, the birds, you know, the needs, you know, the things in each and every one's life that they're dealing with, help us to lay those at your feet. Because you tell us. Then if you are concerned about about the birds of the air and not one of them falls to the ground that you did not know about how much more worthy are we than those birds?
Father, we are worthy. Because you sent your son to Diane across, that whosoever will may come. So you must have seen something and us, you must have seen something that was there that we needed to guide us and direct us to send your son. For whosoever believes in him.
But father, we are not know. We're worthy of what he has done for us, but because of what he has done for us. Worthy is the Lamb. I thank you for offering your son up. That whosoever will may come. All we need to do is believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and we're saved. Not I had knowledge but a heart and always ahead heart and all these beginning. A relationship with him as we go forth in the power of the holy spirit guide us today, direct us. Help us as we minister to our family or friends and those around us that were connected with each and every day in Jesus name, we pray. Amen. Santa goes were singing or closing him this morning.
