Hey everybody.
2
:Welcome to a special edition, a baptism
Sunday edition of the Daily Bible Podcast.
3
:Splash.
4
:Splash.
5
:We were taking a bath.
6
:We are, even as we record this,
because it is pouring rain outside.
7
:It is.
8
:So we are hoping and trusting the Lord
that he's gonna hold our power in place
9
:here at the church offices for us to
get all three of these episodes done.
10
:So far, so good.
11
:It was only flickering earlier.
12
:But it never went out.
13
:That's true.
14
:Yeah.
15
:So far so good.
16
:Yeah.
17
:Speaking of good, man, I I had dinner the
other night and in fact Amanda and I had
18
:dinner with the Mayors the Mayor's Junior,
and we were at the silos in Salina.
19
:That's kind of a fun place.
20
:I had never been there before.
21
:Oh, I hadn't either, but it's got like
this open yard and it was beautiful.
22
:It was like.
23
:In the upper seventies, low eighties.
24
:Oh yeah.
25
:Was in the evening.
26
:And now's the time.
27
:They have a like turf out there.
28
:And the food was probably a little
overpriced, but the atmosphere was great.
29
:It was a lot of fun.
30
:Yeah.
31
:I've seen pictures from that place
and I've, I passed by and I thought,
32
:oh, that'd be nice to check out.
33
:But I never find myself in the
position where I'm thinking
34
:about it and I have opportunity.
35
:Yeah.
36
:But if you're gonna go outside in
Texas, this is minus right now when
37
:we're recording and it's raining
besides now, it is a beautiful season.
38
:Yeah.
39
:We've had weeks now.
40
:Of really cool crisp mornings
and mild to hot, but mild
41
:temperatures in the afternoon.
42
:It's been really nice.
43
:Yeah.
44
:Yeah.
45
:In fact, both of our families on
different days, but we both went to
46
:this Texas state fair this last week.
47
:Yes, we did.
48
:And what were your
thoughts about that place?
49
:I love it.
50
:Mostly.
51
:I think for me a lot of it's nostalgia.
52
:'cause I grew up going there and so going
back down is kind of that nostalgic thing.
53
:But it's cool to see my kids enjoy it now.
54
:And so we took the obligatory selfie
in front of big techs and we got some
55
:good food and, got the Fletcher's
corn dog, which was always good.
56
:Corny dog.
57
:Say it right?
58
:Well, they call it a corny dog.
59
:Tomato.
60
:Tomato.
61
:No, no, it's not.
62
:It's a corny dog.
63
:Okay.
64
:Well, it's very explicit
in their advertising.
65
:It is not a corn dog.
66
:It is a corny dog.
67
:Okay.
68
:And that's new to me.
69
:Well, we got the Fletcher's.
70
:As long as it's Fletcher's because
there's other purveyors of.
71
:Corn.
72
:Corn.
73
:Dogs.
74
:Dogs.
75
:No.
76
:No.
77
:Those are corn dogs.
78
:F Fletcher's is corny dogs.
79
:There's other purveyors of them at
the fair that are even a foot long.
80
:But Fletcher's is the og.
81
:Like you, you gotta hit Fletcher's.
82
:We got one for the first time.
83
:Yeah.
84
:We never had a Fletcher's corny dog.
85
:Yeah.
86
:I don't think.
87
:Anyway.
88
:In fact we would never get the
normal stuff that you get at a
89
:fair because we think, well, what?
90
:What's the fun in that?
91
:Yeah.
92
:Wanna go for the extraordinary things.
93
:But we did get a corny
dog and it was great.
94
:I loved it.
95
:I wish I got one for myself.
96
:We shared one.
97
:Yeah.
98
:Among six of us.
99
:Jacob didn't come with us, but the
rest of us did enjoy a few bites.
100
:At least it was wonderful because
the food there is insanely expensive.
101
:Yeah.
102
:Man.
103
:I spent $80 faster than I blink.
104
:I know.
105
:It's like, where did it all go?
106
:Well, and they get you because
they're like, Hey, buy these coupons.
107
:Oh, it's only 10 coupons.
108
:You're like, wait a minute.
109
:I just bought a $10 corn dog.
110
:Like what in the, a corny dog?
111
:What just happened?
112
:Yeah, the coupons, I don't get that.
113
:I wish they would just let you use your
card because then there's at least a
114
:little sense of, I'm spending money here,
I'm tapping to pay or whatever else.
115
:I wonder, feel if it's
a speed thing, maybe.
116
:'cause you don't have to do
the transaction at the line and
117
:you've got different transactions.
118
:Like it's all one.
119
:Yeah.
120
:I guess I never felt like I was waiting.
121
:Maybe to your point, I never felt
like I was waiting very long.
122
:Yeah.
123
:And I don't think that the tickets
really accelerate a whole lot.
124
:And I feel like I'm more prone to
lose them 'cause they're so small.
125
:That's true.
126
:Especially when there's, you
know, you have a book and there's
127
:a row of 10 that are connected.
128
:Yeah.
129
:So if you need to do 17 tickets or 14
tickets, well now you have six kind
130
:of floating around and then there's
sometimes two that are floating around.
131
:'cause you got an 18 ticket thing.
132
:Oh, I don't like it.
133
:But the good news is if you've got
tickets left over at the end of the
134
:day, you can save them for next year.
135
:You can.
136
:They don't expire.
137
:I used all of my tickets.
138
:In fact, I spent more than
the tickets than I expected.
139
:And the last thing that we bought
was the, what was it called?
140
:The cookie Chaos.
141
:Oh, the milkshake.
142
:Milkshake, yeah.
143
:It was the winner in a
new category for Sweetss.
144
:This year at the fair, which in fact,
today I don't know what the weather's
145
:like today, Sunday, but you can go.
146
:Today's the last day.
147
:Last day of the fair.
148
:I would suggest getting
the Cookie Chaos milkshake.
149
:It's 17 tickets.
150
:Which to translate in case
you're not tracking here is $17.
151
:It's the most expensive shake
I've ever purchased in my life.
152
:It's crazy.
153
:But we loved it.
154
:Yeah.
155
:In fact, one of us loved it so much
that after we threw it away, she cried
156
:for several minutes on the drive home
because it was the last thing we did.
157
:It was Kristen.
158
:I don't wanna pull her out there,
but thanks for bringing her up.
159
:Yeah, Phoebe.
160
:Phoebe lost it.
161
:Phoebe lost it because it was so good.
162
:That's how you know it's good.
163
:That's how I know it was good.
164
:It was sin, but it was wonderful.
165
:We enjoyed it together.
166
:The cookie chaos.
167
:That's awesome.
168
:There are, we found a website before
we went on how to find some budget
169
:food at the fair that the fair
actually lists for you, which was cool.
170
:Oh, there's a, an.
171
:Oat Farms or Oak Farms booth
inside the main food tent there.
172
:And you can get orange juice
for one coupon and they're,
173
:they've this fruit juice thing.
174
:Juice for two, two coupons
there, milk for two coupons and
175
:like the little bottles there.
176
:Wow.
177
:So super cheap.
178
:That is pretty good.
179
:So we did hit that place up too, but.
180
:State fair is fun.
181
:It was fun.
182
:Anyways, we've got a question,
but we'll save that for tomorrow.
183
:Okay.
184
:Let's jump into our DBR for today.
185
:We're in Matthew chapter 15, and
then we are in Mark chapter seven.
186
:That's right, yeah.
187
:Matthew 15.
188
:Mark seven.
189
:Matthew 15 opens with some
confrontation again with the Pharisees.
190
:And what we find here is Jesus
is gonna really reveal the main
191
:problem that the Pharisees had.
192
:And that is not so much that they were
wanting and pursuing righteousness
193
:in some areas, but they'd become so
focused on their traditions that they
194
:were actually promoting some of their
traditions even above and over the law
195
:that they claim to follow so closely.
196
:And so Jesus is going to.
197
:Really in a masterful way, call
them out on their own hypocrisy
198
:as they're trying to trap him.
199
:He's gonna say, Hey let's talk about,
you wanna talk about hypocrisy?
200
:You wanna talk about
failing to uphold the law?
201
:Let's talk about this.
202
:You talk about honoring your father and
mother, and yet you find a loophole in
203
:your tradition saying if somebody says
that this is for the Lord, they don't
204
:have to take care of their parents with
the money that otherwise they would've
205
:used to take care of their parents.
206
:How is that honoring your.
207
:Your father and mother.
208
:And so they're in, he's
indicting them on that.
209
:And really this carries over into
the rest of this section, which
210
:stretches down through verse 20,
which is where he's gonna say,
211
:Hey, Pharisees you've got an issue.
212
:And the is issue is, the
issue is a hard issue.
213
:And he's gonna talk about something
with regards to defilement, and
214
:he's gonna say it's not about.
215
:What you touch or what you eat
or what you drink that defiles
216
:you, none of that defiles you.
217
:What defiles you is what's already
inside you because the heart
218
:of the issue is a heart issue.
219
:And Jesus is going to confront them
in their religiosity and in their
220
:self-righteousness and say, you've got
all of these things that look great on the
221
:outside, but inside is the where the real
problem is, and this is setting something
222
:up that he's gonna go much more in depth.
223
:In Matthew 23 when we get there
with some pretty strong statements,
224
:but here he's at least hinting at
the same thing, which is Pharisees.
225
:Your main problem is what's internal,
but he's also saying this with an earshot
226
:of his followers, his disciples, so
that they, I think also understand,
227
:okay, I need to think differently
about the way I've approached the
228
:idea of being clean or unclean.
229
:'cause for them growing up as Jews their
whole lives, it would've been ceremonially
230
:clean versus ceremonially unclean.
231
:And Jesus is saying there's a different
kind of cleansing that you need that is.
232
:Internal rather than external.
233
:Right.
234
:And the problem with us today is that
even though we don't have these same
235
:rules and regulations or the same kind of
approach that they have to the temple we
236
:have forms of worship that are similar.
237
:You know, you come to worship and
maybe you raise your hands or you're
238
:singing loud or maybe you're even
giving, you can do all of those
239
:things as a form of worship without
actually having your heart engage.
240
:And I think that's what
Jesus is warning us against.
241
:Having a form that looks like
the real thing, but minus the
242
:heart, then it's nothing to a God.
243
:He doesn't want our.
244
:Actions.
245
:And before he gets our
affections, he wants our heart.
246
:And then the actions
spring from those things.
247
:And that's what these
guys are divorcing here.
248
:They're trying to do one thing
while mitigating the other and in
249
:a process they're violating the law
of God, which ultimately is first of
250
:all to love the Lord your God, and
then love your neighbor as yourself.
251
:So do not separate what the Lord is joined
together from here in verses 21 through
252
:28, we get a story that we haven't come
across yet in any of the other gospels.
253
:And that is Jesus' interaction
with a Canaanite woman.
254
:And that's important because we
need to understand Canaanite.
255
:As Gentile, and we see that she
even comes from the region in
256
:the District of Tyre inside.
257
:And this should again, call back
memories from those areas back in the
258
:Old Testament as we read about them
in the Old Testament prophets, these
259
:were areas that were opposed to Israel.
260
:These were the enemies of God, and God
in fact had prophesied destruction for
261
:Tyre inside and they would ultimately
be overrun and overthrown under
262
:the reign of Alexander the Great.
263
:But this is the district.
264
:This is the region.
265
:That same area, again, Matthew's
writing to a Jewish audience.
266
:So in the back of their minds,
they would've thought, okay,
267
:Tyra and Seiden, they would've
thought about the Old Testament.
268
:They would've thought about the law
and the prophets and the writings
269
:about, okay, we, we know this area.
270
:This is not a Jew.
271
:And she comes forward and she.
272
:Falls down and she says, have mercy on me.
273
:Oh Lord.
274
:Son of David.
275
:My daughter is severely oppressed.
276
:And this is interesting just because
of the title that she uses Here
277
:you've got a Gentile using a Messianic
title for Jesus, son of David.
278
:And it begs the question,
how did she know?
279
:How did she know that that
was a title she should use?
280
:How did she know that that should
be a title applied to Jesus?
281
:And it, I think it at minimum shows
that she had a familiarity with him.
282
:Perhaps she was following
him from a distance.
283
:Perhaps she was.
284
:Part of the crowds.
285
:Maybe she was one of the 5,000
that was fed earlier in the gospel.
286
:We don't know that's pressing too far
to be able to say with any certainty,
287
:but she has some familiarity.
288
:And then Jesus has this interaction,
which seems cold and tells the disciples
289
:who are saying, Hey, send her away.
290
:He answers and says, yeah, I was not
sent to the Gentiles, but only to the
291
:lost sheep of the House of Israel.
292
:But she continues to implore.
293
:She persists saying, Lord, help me.
294
:And then he makes this statement.
295
:It's not right to take the children's
bread and throw it to the dogs.
296
:The dogs there being the Gentiles, those
that are outside of the nation of Israel.
297
:And again, Jesus is expressing his
primary audience is Israel here.
298
:And then she responds with this statement.
299
:She says, yes, Lord, but even
the dogs get the crumbs that
300
:fall from their master's table.
301
:So she's not asking for the
children's food, she's not
302
:asking for him to reject Israel.
303
:She's not asking for him to set
aside his mission to Israel.
304
:She's rather just simply asking,
Lord, can I benefit from the presence
305
:of what you're able to do here?
306
:And would you do that
by healing my daughter?
307
:And that elicits his response where
he says, woman, great is your faith,
308
:be it done for you as you desire.
309
:And her daughter was healed instantly.
310
:Fascinating story here that we've
seen this in a couple other places
311
:where Jesus interacts with the
Gentile and Marvels at their faith.
312
:And it's in indicative of what he came
to do, that the gospel is not just for
313
:the Jews, but also for the Gentiles.
314
:Alright?
315
:From here we get 29 through 39 an
another situation where the crowds
316
:are gonna flock to Jesus after or
on the heels of him teaching and
317
:also healing a lot of people here.
318
:But this is another massive crowd.
319
:And so, pastor Rod, do we understand
or should we understand that this
320
:is a distinct crowd from the 5,000,
even though there's so many parallels
321
:that we find here, there's some
differences, but how do we know that
322
:this is a different account or should
we view it as a different account?
323
:Should we view the 4,000 versus the
5,000 as two distinct accounts, right?
324
:Yes.
325
:And the reason why is because Jesus tells
us that these are two separate accounts.
326
:Jesus says, did you not recall
when he is, he's chastising his
327
:disciples to say, look, you think
I'm talking about bread here?
328
:I'm not talking about bread.
329
:Please stop thinking
I'm talking about bread.
330
:Enough about the bread guys.
331
:He's saying, do you not recall
when I fed the 5,000 and do you
332
:not recall when I fed the 4,000?
333
:So Jesus identifies these as
two specific accounts, right?
334
:And that's helpful for you to remember.
335
:So these are not the same thing.
336
:He's doing it twice.
337
:And the question is, of
course, why did he do it twice?
338
:Because he could have done it
three times or six times, but
339
:he does it twice and I suspect.
340
:That the reason he does the 5,000 with
the people of Israel is because he's
341
:showcasing I am the bread of life.
342
:You thought that Moses fed you with bread?
343
:I'm actually the bread that you need
to feast on as we mentioned previously.
344
:But here I think this
is a different audience.
345
:I don't know that I
could say definitively.
346
:This is Israel.
347
:I think there are hints.
348
:And nothing specific, but that there
are hints that this is actually
349
:a gentile, predominantly Gentile
territory, which would fit nicely with
350
:the Sero Phoenician woman who is fed,
or rather her daughter, who has fed
351
:the crumbs off of the master's table.
352
:This would be in indicative that Jesus is
in expanding his ministry beyond the gates
353
:of Israel into Gentile territory, which
hints at what he would eventually do,
354
:which is to include anybody and everybody
who will call in the name of Jesus.
355
:Yeah, I think you're right.
356
:I would agree.
357
:I think this is probably a gentile
territory in a gentile crowd that's
358
:largely gathering, so I'm with you.
359
:I think that's a good way
to handle it, for sure.
360
:And there's minor differences that are
in the text that are notable differences
361
:still, like the number of loaves versus
the number of fish and even the number
362
:of baskets that they pick up at the end.
363
:But there are parallels, but there's
enough differences for us here, including,
364
:to your point, Jesus' own words that
he's gonna say, Hey these are two
365
:different occasions for us to say no.
366
:It's two different occasions here as we
flip over to Mark chapter seven, then what
367
:we find in Mark chapter seven is a lot
of parallel between seven and 15, which
368
:again is why we're reading them together.
369
:He's gonna start out
talking about the Pharisees.
370
:Hey, you've got the wrong emphasis here.
371
:The Pharisees had been undermining
the word of God with their tradition.
372
:In fact, in Mark seven 13, he says,
thus, making void the word of God,
373
:you're even robbing the word of God
of its power by supplanting your
374
:tradition over the word of God.
375
:He's gonna talk about the heart
problems there in verses 14 through
376
:23 and in Mark as a, an interesting
editorial note here in Mark seven 19.
377
:Thus he declared all foods clean.
378
:Mm.
379
:The disciples didn't get that note.
380
:Because if we fast forward to Acts
chapter 10, Peter is on top of a roof
381
:and he sees in a vision, a sheet being
lowered down with all these unclean
382
:animals in it, and Jesus or the voice
from heaven says, arise, kill, and eat.
383
:Peter says, by no means
because these are our defiling.
384
:And it happens three times.
385
:And finally he gets it on the third time.
386
:Oh, you're telling me that all
these foods, I can eat these now.
387
:Praise God.
388
:Praise God for bacon.
389
:Yeah.
390
:How many others?
391
:Yep.
392
:But here Jesus had already.
393
:I declared that in in Mark seven, we
have the s Venetian woman, the can
394
:woman there in Mark 7 24 through 30.
395
:Mark doesn't record that Jesus commends
her faith is great, but that's where
396
:reading the parallel accounts together
are helpful for us because it really
397
:does show us that Jesus did have.
398
:A high esteem for the way that
this woman had responded to him.
399
:And then we get a unique event
here, and that is the healing
400
:of the deaf and the dumb man.
401
:And I think this anticipates the
opening of the ears to hear in the
402
:mouth, to confess that Jesus Christ
is Lord as he's doing both here.
403
:The ears and the tongue
loosening the tongue.
404
:And it seems this is part of the
healing that brought the crowds that
405
:he will then ultimately feed the 4,000.
406
:So, matthew 15 recorded the 4,000.
407
:We're gonna read about the 4,000 tomorrow
in Mark chapter eight, but here, I
408
:think this is one of the examples of
the healing that he's doing in the area
409
:that's causing everybody to flock to
Jesus, because again, Jesus is famous
410
:at this point, and this is where I would
find hints that the crowd that we're
411
:looking at is primarily Gentile, and
it's found in verse 31 where it says
412
:He returned from the region of tire and
went through Sidon to the Sea of Galilee.
413
:In the region of the deis, the region
of the deis, the 10 cities is what
414
:that word means, is a primarily a
confederation of gentile cities.
415
:And so it doesn't mean that there's no
Israelites, I'm sure there were, but
416
:that it's primarily a Gentile context.
417
:And so you'll notice even
though there's a chapter break.
418
:In verse one of chapter eight, it says,
in those days when, again, a great
419
:crowd had gathered it seems like this
is a carryover from chapter seven to
420
:chapter eight, that these are still
the same people, the same timeframe.
421
:So that's one of the hints that
I was referring to earlier.
422
:Another interesting, I don't know, an
interesting point from this particular
423
:text, how Jesus heals this guy.
424
:I would love for you to comment on
this PPJ verse 33 and taking him
425
:aside from the crowd privately.
426
:He put his fingers into his ears and
after spitting touched his tongue.
427
:And then he sighed and
he said, Raha be open.
428
:Well, why did he do it this way?
429
:Jesus could have spoken a word
because he done, he did this before.
430
:Well, we saw him heal.
431
:People from a distance doesn't
need to touch, but he does it.
432
:He puts his fingers in his ears and
then does this weird thing where he, I
433
:think he spits on his tongue or spits
on his fingers and touches his tongue.
434
:I'm not quite sure.
435
:It's a little bit ambiguous,
but why does he do it this way?
436
:I don't know if I have
a good answer for that.
437
:Other than , we see him heal
in different ways in multiple
438
:contexts within his ministry.
439
:And he's gonna have another situation
we're gonna read about where he
440
:is gonna have a two-state healing.
441
:Which there, I think there's a more
clear, like, okay, we can see maybe
442
:there's a deeper meaning here behind this.
443
:Yeah.
444
:Here.
445
:I don't know that there's anything
that I can point to with concrete.
446
:Confidence at least to say, I think
this is why he does it this way.
447
:But if you have thoughts
on it, I'll take a stab.
448
:Yeah.
449
:Just because I don't really have a great
answer to this, but here's my thinking.
450
:Jesus could heal any way he
wants, so there must be a
451
:reason why he does it this way.
452
:And here's my best guess.
453
:Verse three, two says they
brought to him a man who was.
454
:Death.
455
:That means he can't hear and
he has a speech impediment, so
456
:there's something about his ability
to communicate his thinking.
457
:I'm wondering if Jesus seeing this man
and knowing him better than he knows
458
:himself, says he needs to see this.
459
:And even though I can speak the word
and he can be healed, even though I can
460
:just think it and he could be healed.
461
:I need him to see a demonstration of this.
462
:And so Jesus condescends in his
healing, in order to show him,
463
:here's what I'm doing for you.
464
:I'm gonna put my fingers in your ears
to show that I'm gonna heal your ears.
465
:And then I'm gonna use my saliva and
touch your tongue with it to show that
466
:I'm healing and I'm loosening your tongue.
467
:And this is the way that
he communicated best.
468
:This is a father using baby
language with his kids.
469
:In other words, Jesus is
condescending for his sake.
470
:I don't think anyone else around here
benefits from that except for this man.
471
:And he does it because
he cares about this man.
472
:And that's how he decided to heal him.
473
:And I think that's.
474
:That's fitting of the
kind of God that we serve.
475
:Mm-hmm.
476
:He loves us enough to
condescend to our needs.
477
:He's willing to lower himself to help us
understand, and I think that's a really
478
:cool image of what Jesus does for us.
479
:Yeah.
480
:I love that.
481
:I think you're right.
482
:That's that's good.
483
:Yeah.
484
:The sigh, the groan is interesting too.
485
:I.
486
:Yeah.
487
:Yeah, yeah.
488
:It gets, the more you dig, the more
interesting it is because he just
489
:doesn't have to do any of this.
490
:Nope.
491
:He could just speak.
492
:He could just think, and
it's done, but he doesn't.
493
:So there's so many cool facets here.
494
:You should spend some time
digging into that, folks.
495
:Yeah.
496
:I love that though.
497
:I think you're right.
498
:I think he engages with that man
in the way that that man could best
499
:understand what, what was happening.
500
:Isn't that so sweet?
501
:Yeah, so sweet.
502
:Yeah, for sure.
503
:For sure.
504
:Well, hey, let me reiterate
today's baptism Sunday.
505
:So if you're listening to this before you
get to church we're excited about today.
506
:This is an important day, and
if you aren't yet aware, we're
507
:gonna do this after our service.
508
:I promise not to preach too long today.
509
:Mm-hmm.
510
:But 1140 is what we're gonna shoot for.
511
:We're gonna have food there.
512
:We're gonna feed your family because
we want this to be a family event for.
513
:Not just your immediate
family, but our church family.
514
:Yes.
515
:So, gather together, we're gonna
be underneath that blue awning
516
:outside the church building there,
and we will hear your testimonies.
517
:I think we've got four or
five baptisms tomorrow.
518
:And these are all men and women
that have met with one of us as
519
:pastors and given their testimony.
520
:And so we've heard.
521
:That it, and being able to attest, yes
we are confident that this is somebody
522
:who is truly walking with the Lord.
523
:And we're excited to do this.
524
:So join us.
525
:Plan to stay a little bit
later after church tomorrow.
526
:We know you've got plans for
lunch and other things like that.
527
:That's why we wanna feed you and calm
the grumbling tummies a little bit there.
528
:But this is such a good
thing for us to do.
529
:So plan to join us today after
church for our baptism service.
530
:We would love for you to do that.
531
:Yeah, let's pray and then we'll be done.
532
:God, we are in awe of the way that you.
533
:Work the way that you hear in this text,
even as Pastor Rod was just saying.
534
:So personably pursued this
man who needed healing.
535
:And really the way that you've done
that with us, if we're in Christ by
536
:coming for each of each one of us,
and bringing the gospel to us in a way
537
:that we could understand it in a way
that you would open our eyes and give
538
:us ears to hear, to be able to see and
hear the good news, the message that
539
:we need, Jesus as our savior we love
that you're a God that cares about us.
540
:So, personably and intimately
and deeply, and we also love what
541
:we're gonna celebrate today with
baptisms, that you're a God that.
542
:Unites us to Christ and unites us to
Christ through the church that you
543
:bring us into the body of Christ,
into this family of believers that we
544
:now get to call a church family and
call brothers and sisters in Christ.
545
:Would you pray for a great day today, on
Sunday, a great time worshiping Christ,
546
:exalting him through all that we do.
547
:In Jesus' name, amen.
548
:Amen.
549
:Keep your Bibles.
