Charles Wetherbee, the interim pastor, emphasizes the significance of seeking revival in this sermon. He draws an analogy between the need for spiritual renewal and the natural phenomenon of rain, urging listeners to pray for "showers of blessings" rather than mere "mercy drops." The discussion centers on Psalm 126, which reflects on the joy experienced by the Israelites when God restored them from captivity, illustrating that true revival leads to profound changes in individual lives and the community. Wetherbee challenges his audience to reflect on their spiritual state, asking them to consider the last time they felt genuine joy and laughter in their faith. He concludes by encouraging prayer for revival that not only transforms individual hearts but also visibly impacts those around them, prompting a longing for deeper connection with God and each other. In his sermon, Charles Wetherbee addresses the pressing need for revival within the church, utilizing the text from Psalm 126 as a foundation for his message. He begins by likening God's blessings to rain, expressing a desire for 'showers of blessings' that can lead to spiritual renewal. Wetherbee emphasizes that revival is not merely an event but a deep, transformative process that occurs when individuals genuinely turn back to God. He highlights the importance of prayer in this process, urging the congregation to actively seek God's intervention in their lives and communities. As Wetherbee elaborates on the historical context of Psalm 126, he illustrates how the Israelites experienced periods of captivity due to their disobedience and how their cries for help were met by God's mercy and restoration. He draws a parallel to modern believers, many of whom may feel spiritually captive due to various forms of sin, fear, or indifference. The pastor encourages listeners to examine their lives, suggesting that the longing for joy and fulfillment they may feel is indicative of a need for revival. He stresses that revival requires humility, acknowledging one's shortcomings, and a sincere desire for change, both personally and collectively. Towards the end of his sermon, Wetherbee underscores that revival has implications beyond individual experiences; it can lead to a collective awakening within the church, influencing families and the broader community. He calls the congregation to embody joy and express gratitude, making their faith evident to those around them. This, he argues, can spark curiosity in others, prompting them to seek the source of the believers' joy. Wetherbee's message is a call to action, inviting the congregation to not only desire revival but to pursue it actively through prayer and a commitment to living out their faith.

Takeaways:

• Revival is characterized by transformation and joy, not merely by attendance in a church meeting.
• The need for revival stems from a recognition of spiritual captivity and a desire for freedom in faith.
• God's blessings are often likened to rain, where revival is seen as an outpouring of spiritual abundance.
• A key aspect of revival involves confessing personal sins rather than hiding them, which fosters true spiritual growth.

Powers of blessings.

Have you ever had it rain?

And it was raining in the front yard and sunny in the backyard.

Yeah, I've seen that, too.

And here's something to really date me.

My granddad, when it would come a hard rain, he'd say, man, that's a frog strangler.

You ever heard the frog strangler?

That's kind of a funny one, isn't it?

Frogs running for their life.

But it says, mercy drops around us are falling.

We had a few drops today, but most of us have been hoping and praying for real, real good rain.

And God's in control of that.

But for revival, we're using that kind of that illustration.

And so, Lord, don't just give us a few mercy drops, but showers, showers of blessings.

And so I hope that you've already been praying about that.

Take your Bible and turn to the Book of Psalm, chapter 126.

The book of Psalm, chapter 126.

And most of you will recognize the last two verses, but we're going to read the whole chapter.

But a lot of people use those two verses to promote soul winning, and there's nothing wrong with that.

The Bible has lots of different applications, and it applies, I think, very well with soul winning.

But as we're gonna see in this chapter, really, the context of this verse is revival.

That's really what it's talking about.

I'll show you in just a moment.

Okay, so when we read this, I want you to think about revival.

Okay?

Psalm 126, verse 1.

When the Lord turned again, the captivity of Zion.

If you remember much about the history of Israel, boy, they were in and out of captivity, weren't they?

And most of the time, it was God chasing them.

God was spanking them.

He'd let them become captive until they learned to trust God and do the right thing.

And there was all kinds of problems.

You think you got problems?

God has more problems than all of us, and I'm talking about his feelings.

There's no problem that God can't solve.

And God never panics and God never gets tired.

But there's captivity after captivity.

They'd start crying, oh, God, we're in a mess.

Help us.

And God would help them, and they would praise the Lord.

And it wasn't very long.

They'd start pouting again and murmuring and complaining.

And pretty soon then they would start becoming worldly.

They started to want the things that the Unchristians had, and they wanted to be like them and dress like them and live like them and so they went through that and.

And then they went to idolatry.

Then they started worshiping their gods.

And pretty soon God would warn them.

He'd send the prophets and warn them, you better turn.

You better get back, or you're gonna be sorry.

And their hearts got hard.

And finally God had to do.

The only thing they understood was problems.

Not all of our problems come because we're doing wrong.

Sometimes we have problems when we're doing right.

Amen.

Paul said, when I would do good, evil is present with me.

And so we can't say, like Job's friends did, that boy, Job, reason you're in trouble.

Cause you must have really sinned really bad.

Well, he hadn't sinned really bad, but he was being tested.

But most of the problems, though, that the children of Israel had was the result of God chastening them.

And whom the Lord loveth, he chasteneth.

He loved them still.

But it hurt.

It hurt God's heart to see them not believe him.

They didn't want to trust him.

They was living on their feeling rather than by faith.

It's hard sometimes to let your feelings go, isn't it?

Our feelings are strong, and sometimes we feel certain ways.

And it may not be God's ways.

And I have to pray that.

I'm sure you do, too.

Lord, help me to.

Whether I feel like it's right or not, Lord, help me to go with the book and trust you and do what's right.

And the young people used to sing the song, I've decided to follow Jesus.

Though no one joined me, Still I will follow.

And God's people who really followed God and really followed Christ has always been a minority.

It's never been a majority.

So don't feel like you're all alone, because that's just a fact of life.

And the Bible tells us that.

Did you know the Bible?

Jesus said this in the last days.

Jesus said this.

He said, when the Son of Man cometh, will he find faith on the earth?

What he was saying is, will he?

He was saying, it's gonna be scarce to find people that have kept the faith because the tribulation and all the problems and the things we're seeing in the world today.

And a lot of Christians aren't gonna be able to handle it because they've never been grounded.

They don't know what they believe or why they believe it.

And so they live in fear instead of living by faith.

Faith cometh by hearing, hearing by the word of God.

And we don't really have to Pray for more faith.

Just get more of the Bible in your heart and in your head and in your life, and your faith will grow.

Well, I'm getting way off the subject.

Turn again.

Our captivity, the captivity of Zion.

When the Lord turned.

They're talking about the past.

When the Lord turned again.

The captivity.

We were like them.

That dream.

You get the picture here?

Not nightmare, dream.

It was like a dream come true.

It was like living the dream.

When you're right with God and none of us are perfect till we get to heaven.

But if you can say, I'm not hiding sin in my life, Lord, I want to do right and think right and be right.

When we do that, we can live the dream even when everybody else is living the nightmare.

We can still prosper.

When the world's going down, we can go up.

And God said, I'm gonna take care of you, and I love you, and I bought you with the blood of my own son, and you're my pride and joy.

That's what God says.

God thought you were to die for.

Amen.

Whether anybody else thinks how they think about you, God says, I got my eye on you because I've invested in you.

That's what it means to be saved.

It means to become one of the children of God.

Okay?

A lot of people say, well, isn't everybody the children of God?

No.

Jesus said to the Pharisees, ye are of your father the devil.

Ye there.

The saints or the ain't, that's the only two there is.

Amen.

And so he says, we were like.

This is past tense.

When the Lord turned past tense.

When we were past tense, then past tense, was our mouth filled with laughter.

Did you know the word laughter is only found seven times in the Bible?

But, you know, there's a lot of crying in the Bible, a lot of sorrow in the Bible.

God laughs and we can laugh.

And one day our laughter is gonna be the laughter of joy and praise forever and ever.

We like to laugh, don't we?

I mean, that feels good to laugh.

It does.

But he said, the way it was before, you see, if you can't remember how it was when you were.

When you felt like, what a joy, what a thrill, what a peace, what a contentment, what a life.

If you don't have that now, if you were happier somewhere back then, then that's a sign that you need revival.

Okay?

I've never heard anybody stand up and say, preacher, I don't need revival.

I think we all probably would like to have more revival in our life.

But when's the last time you just laughed?

Not at a joke, but just laughed out loud at the goodness of God?

Some of you may have never done that.

Just go outside by yourself so that it won't think you're crazy and just laugh and say, oh, God, hallelujah.

I got problems, but there's a lot of things that I don't have.

And I have God, and I have the future, and I have heaven, and I have all these things.

The devil hates it when Christians have that kind of laughter.

Then was our mouth filled with laughter and our tongues with singing.

Then said, they, among the heathen, the unsaved, the Lord hath done great things for them.

The world was looking at the Christians saying, man, I wish I could be that happy.

A lot of people look at Christians and say, I don't want to be one of them.

They look so unhappy.

They look so sad.

They always get upset, and they're always this and that, complaining and murmuring.

Our testimony, we represent Jesus Christ.

We want to convince other people they need what we have.

They need Jesus.

But if sometimes Christians look more miserable than unchristians, I mean, let's be honest.

But he said, when God turned the captivity, they were set free.

They were laughing and they were singing, and the unsaved people would go, wow, God has done great things for them.

Why don't you make that part of your prayer, that this revival that comes, that the people who hear about it will go, man, I wonder what happened over there.

Those people are different now after what all they've been through, and they're still rejoicing and laughing and counting their blessings and going to church.

It'd be a good prayer, Lord, let other people see a difference in our life.

The Lord hath done great things for them.

And then verse three, they said, and the Lord hath done great things for us, whereof we are glad.

Now we get to verse four, because they're in captivity when this is written.

So now they're saying, turn again, do it again, Lord.

Send a revival like we had back then.

And maybe you can remember a time when, of all the.

You've been to lots of revival meetings.

That doesn't always mean we have revival.

I mean, we can have good meetings and enjoy good preaching and singing and fellowshipping and all that.

But revival means change.

It means we go into revival and we come out different.

Mm.

Anything you'd like God to change in your life, or do you want to just stay the same?

Lord, turn again our captivity as the streams in the south Refreshing rain.

Let it rain.

And then verse five, they that sow in tears, a broken and contrite heart, O Lord, thou will not despise they that sow in tears.

When's the last time you shed tears about something that really mattered in eternity?

When's the last time you shed tear over.

Oh, God, we need revival so much, and you start crying.

I need revival so much.

When's the last time you wept over somebody that was lost and dying quickly and they weren't saved and they might be going into hell?

When's the last time that upset you enough that you cried?

I don't cry easy.

And you could cry on the inside.

I know it's not all about comparing your tears with somebody else's tears.

God knows your heart.

I'm just asking you to think about it.

When's the last time it says, they that sow in tears plant, live their life, sow in tears, shall reap in joy.

He that goeth forth and weepeth.

There it is.

Twice the Bible tells us in Psalm 56 that God even keeps a book of our tears.

Did you know that's in Psalm chapter 56?

It says, Are they not in thy book?

That's a very interesting chapter to me.

A very interesting verse that this infinite God who knows every leaf that falls, every bird that falls the hairs of our head, it's so amazing to me.

Put thou my tears in a bottle, he said, are they not written in thy book?

Wow.

Our little pea brains cannot understand the infinity of God.

Infinity of God.

Nothing happens that he doesn't see.

If I think about that very long gives me a headache, but also a heartache.

Makes me glad to know that nothing's hidden from God.

He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, that's the word of God, shall doubtless, without a doubt, come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him.

You see, in Bible days, for bread, they had wheat and they would go out.

I mean, they just couldn't go buy bottled water.

They had to dig wells, and they couldn't go to Walmart and buy a loaf of bread.

And so the sheaves, the wheat was very important, and it depended on the rain and depended on God blessing them.

And revival's a lot like that.

We can't work up revival.

God has to come down and stir us up.

But it says we'll have the sheaves.

Can you picture that?

Wouldn't that be a pretty painting of God's?

People in a church just had revival and they're all holding sheaves in their.

In their arms with a big joy on their face and unity and singing and praising God.

And nobody's mad and nobody's upset.

Nobody's ready to fight.

There's just the joy of the Lord.

Nehemiah says, joy of the Lord is our strength.

He said, oh, if it could just be that way.

Well, pray about it.

If my people remember that last Sunday night, God already made a commitment, he said, you don't have to pray if I'll do it.

He said, I will.

If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked way, then will I hear from heaven.

Could I get that clock on that screen back there, please?

Cause I don't even know what time it is.

So, Psalm 126.

These captives, they remembered how it was.

I've been in two revivals in my life that stick out that I'll never forget.

One was in Georgia, a little town called Forts in Georgia.

And people were crawling on their knees to the altar.

They didn't even want to stand up.

They afraid God would kill them.

We had a bunch of young people saved and.

And several of them came up in a group and said, brother Weatherby, could you keep the invitation going and have the pianists or sing some songs?

Cause we want to go home and get our parents and bring them back tonight.

We don't want to wait till next week.

And they did that.

The church grew, and a lot of people joined the church because of what they had heard and seen and the change in their lives of their sons and daughters.

They.

The teenagers, they didn't have to make them go, man.

They wanted to get up early and get ready and they wanted to stay late.

And it was a marvelous revival.

And then I was in one in Arlington.

New York Avenue Baptist Church.

You ever hear of that, brother?

You probably wasn't around here back then, but it was one of the largest churches in the area.

It was in Arlington.

Arlington, Texas.

And I was in that meeting.

Wow, it was scary in the right way.

I mean, God was moving in ways I'd never seen before.

And people who hardly ever said a word.

I mean, they were just very quiet, subdued, shy with standing up with both hands and praising God and giving God glory and giving testimony and hallelujah, what a savior.

Tears running down their eyes and.

And the church was packed, and there wasn't enough room at all the altars.

Some would go back and others, another wave would go to the altar.

I'll never forget it.

Now, I preached in lots and lots of revivals over 50 years, but only two.

Those two that I can remember because it made such an impression.

Why don't you add that to your prayer list, too?

Lord, do a.

Give us a revival that will make an impression on my family that maybe are not in church or not saved my family or my friends, my neighbors, maybe the people that I work with.

Lord, do something in my life that people will go, I don't understand that.

Can you explain it?

Go, no, not really.

God just came down.

So this was a memory and they were asking God to do it again.

You know, sometimes it's hard to face reality as Christians.

Sometimes we kind of live in denial.

You know what that means?

You just don't want to face up to the truth.

We just live in denial.

I'm fine.

I'm okay.

I'm happy.

I'm doing all right.

And we just.

Cause we don't want to be.

We just.

You know, everybody wants the truth, but nobody wants to be honest.

To just say, lord, search me and try me and know me and see me.

Help me to wake up to reality.

Our church needs revival.

I need revival.

Our marriage needs revival.

Our kids, young people need revival.

Lord, we need a moving of God in our midst.

And you know, God doesn't have to have a majority vote for that.

In fact, most of the time, some of God's greatest blessings started with just a handful of people.

Wasn't very many that may be here tonight, I don't know.

But who knows?

We live in denial because just as they were in.

Are you listening?

They were living in captivity and they were praying, lord, turn it again.

Turn it around and set us free.

But you know something?

We're in captivity, too.

Live in a free country.

But some people are captive to sin, a sinful habit they've been fighting for their whole life.

They just can't get victory over it.

It's just.

It's a shackle.

They're in captivity.

Some people are captive to bitterness.

They just can't get over they've been hurt and they've gotten bitter now.

And everything looks shady and everything looks sour and everything.

You're suspicious and you're bitter.

You're sour in your spirit.

You're captive to it.

You're a captive.

Some people are captive to fear.

They're scared of everything.

They're always thinking the worst is going to happen, and they live in fear.

And the most repeated commandment in all the Bible is fear not.

But a lot of people don't get Involved.

They don't volunteer, they don't do.

A lot of people don't give because they're afraid.

They live in fear I won't be able to pay my bills if I honor God with my.

And they live in fear.

They always think, well, what if this happens?

Well, what if that happens?

Some people are captive to anger.

They have a bad temper.

A lot of people say, I'm sorry, that's just the way I am.

It's like they're accepting it.

No, no, we don't have to live in captive to anger.

A lot of people, they hide it well, but they're angry.

Somebody mistreated them or their job or their church or their friends or whatever and they.

They're angry.

Some people are captive to discouragement.

They're living discouraged.

They just can't get over it.

It's like a depression and they just accept it and they just pretty much live that way.

Some people are captive to hopelessness.

They don't see any future.

Some are captive to pride.

They think they're a little bit better than so many other people.

Some people are stubborn.

They're captive, just stubborn.

They won't give up their ways, my way or the highway.

Self righteousness.

Some people are just captive.

They're living in denial.

They don't even know it, but they think they're right.

Everybody else is wrong.

I'm right.

But you know, you can put all those in one big bundle.

We're captive to the devil.

That's his job.

That's what he wants to do, is to control Christian people.

Cause he can't have them.

We can't get unsaved.

We belong to God.

So the devil says, well, I can make them miserable.

I can get them to turn on each other.

I can get them to get their eyes off Jesus.

I can get them to close the Bible for two or three weeks at a time.

I can do that.

And so they'll live in captivity.

Jesus said, the spirit of the Lord is upon me because he hath anointed me to preach deliverance to the captives.

Jesus said that to set at liberty them that are bruised.

Captivity.

Pray that this revival would set the captive free.

Make this your prayer, Lord.

Turn again our captivity.

We don't want to be living like slaves to the world and the flesh and the devil.

Let me give you three words and we'll be through.

These are just three hindrances of the revival, but I want you to write them down.

Number one is ignorance.

Number two is iniquity.

And number three is indifference.

Number one, ignorance.

A lot of people wouldn't know.

They don't know what to pray about revival because they don't know where revival is.

Ignorance does not mean stupid.

It means they're uninformed.

It means they haven't been taught.

It means they haven't been in the Bible.

They haven't had enough victory in their life to know what revival is.

How are you gonna pray for revival if you don't know what it is?

What would convince you?

When Brother McCracken comes for a Sunday through Wednesday and you get up Thursday morning, what would make you say, wow, we had a revival?

What would convince you of that?

Think about that for a moment.

What would make you call your friends and say, I want to tell you about this revival?

I've never been in a revival like that.

Do you believe that's possible?

Well, your brain says yes, but what about down here in your heart?

Is revivals over there not gonna be any more revivals?

I don't particularly think our nation will ever see a great revival.

Because they don't even want God, much less think about they don't.

They've already rejected God, the country.

I'm talking about the government.

I'm talking about the liberals.

I'm talking about the Antichrist.

Jesus said, in the last days there will be many Antichrists setting things up for the Antichrist.

What is revival number two is iniquity.

Now, iniquity is just a big word.

We don't use it very much, but it's a big word for sin.

You say, well, we can't stop sinning.

Hey, listen, it's not that sin holds back revival.

It's the lack of confession of sin when we start hiding it and comparing it and minimizing it.

That's what holds back revival, not sin.

If we confess our sin, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sin and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

I mean, technically, we don't even have to ask forgiveness.

Jesus said, I already told you, I'll forgive you.

All you need to do is confess.

Confess means to agree with God.

That's pretty simple, isn't it?

Well, God didn't want to make revival complicated.

He wants revival more than we do.

That's his nature.

He loves to bless his people and to see them joyful and excited and bold.

But iniquity, unconfessed sin.

We like to confess other people's sins, but we're not too good at confessing our own sin.

Think about that.

You know, the Bible says he that covereth a transgression.

Seeketh love.

Talking about other people's sins, we cover for them.

We don't go around telling everybody all the bad stuff that they're doing.

Are you still here?

Are you listening?

That's what the Bible says.

He that covereth.

Now, for the Christian, it says, he that covereth his sins shall not prosper.

We want to cover our sins and uncover other people's sins.

The Bible says just the opposite.

Expose your sin, confess your sin, and God will take care of the other people.

The last one is indifference.

And in my opinion, ignorance and iniquity, that's a hindrance to revival.

But the biggest one that I've dealt with for over 50 years is indifference.

People aren't against it.

Yeah, I'll be there.

But they're not a whole lot for it.

I heard a definition not too long ago of why we don't see many revivals anymore.

It said, because we're willing to live without it.

We get used to it.

We got things to do and hobbies and places to go.

And, well, we're not against it, but we're kind of in a flow.

We're kind of in a routine.

And if we have it, wonderful.

If we don't, life goes on.

It's hard to convince people that kind of have that attitude of indifference.

Hmm.

We just sang that song.

Let him have his way with thee, the way of revival.

I wish sometimes we could stop the clock and just pray and pray and pray.

Well, I would like us to do something a little similar, but different.

I'd like to ask for five volunteers.

Maybe one over there, maybe one over here, maybe two or three in here.

Five.

I got five cards.

They're all different.

It's 25 things to pray about concerning revival.

And I'd like to give some of you men, if you wouldn't mind doing it, just take a card and get with three or four or five or anybody that's around you.

It doesn't have to be long, and you don't have to call each one out.

I'll read it to you.

But you could pray and just one person pray.

Or you could have just silent prayer.

There are five things on each card.

Spiritual ears for us to hear God's voice, the healing of our church.

Love expressed doesn't do anybody any good if it's not expressed.

Pray for our youth department to have revival.

Pray.

Pray for inreach toward hurting members.

We talk a lot about outreach, and we need as soon as we can to get more outreach, but also there's inreach reaching within the church family and helping and encouraging and praying and lifting up other people.

That's one card.

Pray for Brother McCracken, of course.

Pray for a good attendance.

Pray for a good offering.

Brother McCracken, as far as I know, doesn't get a paycheck from a church he's not pastoring, as far as I know.

Pray for Satan to be defeated.

Greater is he that's in you than he that is in the world.

And pray for more men to stand in the gap.

Women, you can do it too.

But God says he's not minimizing women.

But in that.

Is it in Ezekiel, Brother Cox, where that is found?

I think so.

God sought for a man to stand in the gap to make up the hedge before me.

And it says he found none.

There was none.

There's not a lot of men that's that interested today.

But maybe we could pray for that.

Maybe God would touch some men during the revival that would say, you know, it's time for me to get serious and stand in the gap.

Third card, Word of God to have free course.

Paul prayed that prayer and he asked the churches, pray for me and.

And pray that the Word of God would have free course.

Altars filled again.

I tell you this all the time.

We don't judge somebody whether they go to the altar or not.

But we still have an old fashioned altar call.

A lot of churches quit that years ago, but we still have one.

I hope you always will have one.

And some people can't kneel at the altar because of physical conditions.

But pray that we can see a lot of people at the altar.

It makes the devil mad and it makes God glad.

Okay.

It's not magic.

You're not closer to God if you go there than you are back there.

Okay, that's not what I'm saying.

But there's something about getting up publicly and unashamedly and kneel and pray for the revival.

Pray for church members to reconcile those that are kind of out with each other.

Pray for humility.

Pray for bitterness to be sweetened by the Holy Spirit.

Messages.

Pray that God will give the preacher the messages.

Exactly.

That we need to hear.

Pray for unity.

Pray for good singing.

Spirit led singing.

That's always a good sign when God's people are singing loud and happy.

Pray for people to turn from secret sins.

We're proud of all the big things we don't do.

But God looketh down here.

Pray for burden, for souls to increase.

That's a good sign of revival.

People Start weeping and praying and witnessing more.

Have you lost your burden for souls?

Last of all, pray for Brother McCracken to be filled with the Holy Spirit.

Pray for unfaithful members to come.

We have a lot of people still on the membership, haven't been here since I've been here.

Pray for them to come to the revival.

Maybe you could convince them.

Pray for forgiveness to prevail.

A lot of people still having a hard time forgiving people that sinned or failed or let them down.

Excuse me.

Pray for the youth to witness a real revival.

We pray for them to have it, but.

But I'd like our young people to see something that they can talk to their kids one day about.

Maybe even their grandkids say, yeah, I was there in that revival.

A little town called Haslett.

It was back in 20, way back yonder in 20, 26.

Wouldn't that be great?

And then pray for joy to be restored.

We need the joy of the Lord.

A lot of people are down, and I know.

I know why.

We've been in this together.

And a lot of people are just so upset and hurting and sad how things.

What all things have happened.

Well, let's just pray about it.

And maybe the revival would be the answer to that, to make us joyful again.

Amen.

You can keep the cards.

So if you volunteer, you get a free card.

Anybody over here.

You got 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.

Anybody lead this.

Take this card and just get together.

Brother Cox has got one.

I could hear him volunteer from way over here.

He was chomping it to bits.

So in just a moment, if y' all back there could just kind of move to the middle or over there where Mrs. Cox is.

And you don't have to pray long.

Okay, again, just read it over.

And if you don't want to pray, that's fine.

Here's your one for you.

And just rope some people together and get them.

Thank you.

So y' all go where the crowds are.

You gonna take one?

You got one.

Okay.

Find you four or five people, and after you're through, you can leave.

We're not gonna have a closing prayer or music.

Just read that out, say a prayer, and have a good evening.

God bless you.

Pray for the VBS too.
