Who is this Jesus?

First of all, I wanted to make an announcement based off of a letter that we got back several months ago. We as a church participated in the faith comes by hearing the military Bible sticks and you guys were phenomenal we sent in our donation. We ended up with 68 that we were able to purchase. Here's the letter that I got back though. It was very encouraging to me. They thanked us for our donation. And talked about how timely it was at this particular season cuz we sent it around Christmas time and a lot of military folks are away from their families and that's particularly challenging time for them, but they had originally put in that the bed had a a matching gift program. That was only supposed to go through the end of November. But the person who is doing the matching gift decided it would be better to do it through the end of the year. So in the end we were able to provide a hundred and thirty-six instead of 68. So fantastic job to all of you who participated in that. The other thing I want to do before actually begin preaching is related to an announcement that was made about the missions movie night. So I'm going to throw the AV people off in the back and I'm going to ask them to show a clip from that because what What movie is about is directly related to what we're going to be talking about today? And so I think it'd be helpful for you to see the preview in preparation. So if you could go ahead and show that for us. Play Casual little taste of what's coming in the movie but it applies specifically to what we're going to be talking about this morning and that he he asked the question Nick. Ask the question. The movie is Jesus worth it. And what we're going to be talking about this morning is from John chapter 5 when it started 18 and go through 47.

And the reason I think these two things are so tightly related to each other is because In this passage of scripture, Jesus is going to talk about who he is and if we're going to make a decision about whether or not we will follow Jesus regardless of the cost. We better know who were following. And so I'm going to read the text for this morning John 5:18 through 47 and I will pray and then we'll think through it in light of that question. Who is Jesus and is he worth it?

John 5:18 starts this way

This is why the Jews were seeking all the more to kill him cuz Not only was he breaking the Sabbath, but he was even calling God his own father making himself equal with God. So Jesus said to them truly truly I say to you the son can do nothing of his own accord. But only what he sees the father doing for whatever the father does that the sun does like Watts. The Father loves the son and shows him all that he himself is doing and Greater Works than these will he show him so that you may Marvel? Press the father raises the dead and gives them life. So also the son gives life to whom he will for the father judges. No one but has given all judgment to the Sun but all my honor the son just as they honor the father. Whoever does not honor the son does not honor the father who sent him truly truly. I say to you whoever hears my words and believes him who has sent me has eternal life. He does not come into judgment, but it's passed from Death To Life. Truly truly I say to you an hour is coming and is now here when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God those who hear will live. For the father has life in himself. So he has granted The Sun Also to have life in himself and he has given him authority to execute judgment because he is the son of man do not Marvel at this for an hour is coming when all who are in the tombs will hear his voice and come out and those who have done good to the resurrection of life. And those who've done evil to the resurrection of judgment. I can do nothing on my own as I hear I judge in my judgment is just because I seek not my own will but the will of him who sent me. If I alone bear witness about myself, my testimony is not true. There is another who Bears witness about me and I know that the testimony that he Bears about me is true you sent to John and he has borne witness to the truth. Not that the testimony that I receive is from man, but I see these things so that you may be saved. He was a burning and Shining lamp and you were willing to Rejoice for a while and is light but the testimony I have is greater than that of John for the works of the father has given me to accomplish the very works that I am doing bear witness about me that the father has sent me. The father who has sent me who says sent me has himself warned witness about me his voice. You've never heard his form you have never seen and you do not have his word abiding in you for you. Do not believe the one whom he has sent. You search the scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life and it is they that bear witness about me yet you refuse to come to me that you may have life. I do not receive Glory from people, but I know that you do not have the love of God within you. I have come in my father's name, and you do not receive me. Another comes in his own name. You will receive him. How can you believe when you receive Glory from one another and do not seek the glory that comes from the only God do not think that I will accuse you to the father. There is one who accuses you Moses on whom you set your hope for if you believed Moses you have believed me for he wrote If me if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe my words take a moment to pray and then we'll talk through this passage.

Lord Jesus as we come this morning to this section where you so clearly State Who You Are I pray that you would give us eyes to see. To see for the first time for some of us to see a fresh for the rest of us the glory that is present in you. Help us as we know you better and better. To be able to trust you to believe you more and more fully. And find that you are worth not just a couple hours on a Sunday morning. But worth every single moment of Our Lives we pray this in your precious name. Amen.

Last week we were talking through the earlier section of this where Jesus it done something amazing. He had gone and healed a man. I told him get up take your bed and walk there was a problem because it was the Sabbath when he did it and that's where we're picking up. Today is the fact that people had a problem with Jesus healing on the Sabbath. Why would they have a problem with that? We should look at that first understand what the problem really is.

The Sabbath was created by God in the beginning. He creates everything and 6 days and on the seventh day he rests. And he tells his people is real likewise. You should rest and you shouldn't do any work on that day. You should mimic me and rest from your labors at least once a week, which is a good practical thing to do as human beings. We drive ourselves too hard. We will wear ourselves out but it's also very spiritually beneficial thing because it gives time to gather to worship while resting we can get together in a unique way the Sabbath used to cure at the end of the week what we would call Saturday now and with in Jewish tradition, it is still celebrated on Saturday.

And that's when Jesus had done his work. So we have to understand that they were not. Wrong and saying something is strange here. Is it here claiming to be a good Jew and you're doing work on a Saturday and telling other people to do work on Saturday? Something ain't right.

The problem is what they didn't understand is who Jesus was and why it was okay for him to do something unique that it wasn't. Okay for others to do why his work on that day for filled the Sabbath? Rather than broke the Sabbath. Let me explain from a couple of passages of scripture. Jesus himself says in Mark 2 verses 27 and 28. He said to them the Sabbath was made for man. Not man for the Sabbath. So the son of man is Lord, even of the Sabbath so what he saying, they're two people is what you need to understand about me is that I Am Lord over the Sabbath and that Sabbath was created for you. You weren't created for it. And so the blessing that I give to heal someone is a blessing of giving them a rest a freedom from pain and suffering how much more glorious to do that on the day of rest to allow them to truly finally rest. second passage of scripture that relates to this Hebrews 4 9 and 10 so then there remains a Sabbath rest for the people of God for whoever is entered God's rest has also rested from his works as God did from his

Ready fever is getting at something unique here. God did his work and then rested? what he's saying here is that there is a way in which we as Christians have been working, but when we come to Christ The striving the working the attempt to get their ceases salvation comes by grace. And so when we come to Christ, we truly blessed. There's no more work that has to be done to earn anything. That coming to Christ is a resting in him. Now that's stretching it too far. Just Jesus ever say I'm rest come to me Matthew 11 2829. Come to me all who labor and are heavy laden and I will give you rest take my yoke upon you and learn from me for I am gentle and lowly in heart and you will find rest for your souls. So it's where they saw Jesus breaking the Sabbath in reality what Jesus brings is a real understanding of what Sabbath is really about. There's a reason why date is never talked about in scripture because once God enters day 7 the rest is in the same way when we come to Christ, although it is wise to take time to gather for worship time to physically rest your body. When we understand what Christ has really done Forest we can honestly say we have entered into a rest in Christ that there is no date for we are always living in that day seven rest when we live in Christ. And so everything that Christ does helps fulfill what it means for people to understand rest and everything we do in Christ is putting on display the fact that we are resting in him. Don't him Jesus. I am resting resting. We all should be able to sing that daily in our lives regardless of whether it's a Sunday or a Thursday or Saturday. We rest in him. They didn't get this yet cuz they didn't understand who Jesus really was and so they have a big problem with him going around doing things that don't look like what they think rest should look like on the Sabbath.

but This was not the only reason and really not the primary reason they were upset with him as it says in the end of Verse 18, but she was even calling God his own father making himself equal with God now. There's a real problem now, it's not just your kind of disobeying what we understand Sabbath to be you're committing blasphemy. You're saying something that you're equal with God. We have a problem with this. Again, they did not understand who Jesus was.

Or they would not have made those statements of Jesus has to give an answer. He has to answer them to help them understand who he really is. And so he wants to highlight for them some key things about who he is and sewing versus 21 and following. He he continues this process Route 19, really and following he continues the process of what she really is about to a 19 he tells us Adidas nothing of his own accord, but only what he sees the father doing for whatever the father does the son does likewise. No in this short statement. He says something very powerful. There's a term we used to describe the relationships between the Father the Son and the Holy Spirit be called the trinity. Jehovah's Witnesses ever come to your door, they'll tell you the Trinity is in the Bible. Will the turn Trinity is in the Bible, but the Trinity is all over the place and this is one of those places where it shows up. I wanted you to see this diagram A wise man once said the less you say about the Trinity the better cuz the more you say the more likely you are to say something wrong, but I want to put this up here cuz I want you to understand something in what Jesus said in that little sentence there now, we're not really dealing so much for the Holy Spirit right now this morning so I can kind of look to the the left side of this and you seen it. The father going down. The line is not the sun there is clearly a difference cuz he speaks up the father does things and I do think so. He's clearly saying I am not the father. There's got to be a difference there.

but at the same time the father and the son share something in common. Here's a couple things that they share one. Whatever the father does the son does the same thing. To the father does amazing things the sun does those same amazing things and they share the same heart what the father wants done the son wants done to it shows up throughout that he makes payments, but I don't just do what I want and do what the father wants. Why because we're the same mine the Same Heart on these things.

Father loves the son and shows him all that. He himself is doing verse 20.

He shows Jesus that she is doing. Think of who God the father is infinite in every aspect knows everything nothing in the world exists or is sustained without him and Jesus knows all of it.

We say when we talk about the father and the son that although they are not the same person. They are of the same Essence. They're both Divine. Why because you would have to be divine to be able to know everything that God the father is doing. Are human Minds we are not Divine cannot possibly taken everything that God is doing. Jesus can why because he and the father are of the same Essence. They are both God, although they are different people and in just a couple short versus there in what Jesus says he Clues them in to this reality. The father is God Jesus Is God as the sun they are different and yet they are one. Another passages later on we can look and find the holy spirit's role in this and wet as well and how he fits into that but I want you to see is when Jesus starts to explain to his he highlights the relationship between the Sun and the father and he says the son perfectly obeys the father whatever the f*** there once done is what he's doing. And yet as their they pointed out the problem is he's claiming equality with God. So he's equal and yet he's obedient. They're the same and there's differences and what they they they do in terms of their roles.

He's obedient, but he totally shares the Father's Heart.

So when we ask ourselves who is Jesus we can say confidently he is God.

And he is the perfect example of what it looks like to relate to the father. He doesn't perfectly there is no flaw in his relationship. And then as if that wasn't enough to just say to them and be done with it, he goes on to talk about what he does. And here's the thing I find fascinating. Jesus speaks a lot at other portions and scripture about love and grace and things like that. But sheer he doesn't go there and its description for them. Where does he go? He starts talking about life and death and eternal life and judgement. He's going to hit him right where it hurts. He's not going to talk about anything extraneous to the core thing at hand. The thing you have to get right about Jesus is understanding who Jesus is in relationship to your life your death and either your salvation or your judgment. and so he continues on Father first 21 raises the dead and gives them life. So also the son gives life to whom he will. Jesus can raise people from the dead and can give them life. at will now you may think of that. It's just something in the future. Yes, when we raised to eternal life. Once you understand something you're alive right now because Jesus is sustaining you he gives life now when you got up this morning you said, thank you Jesus for another morning. I hope you did that. You were declaring the reality that Jesus gives life. And if you're here, it's because he wants you to be living. He wants you to be here. at this particular time

the universe 22. He says something that Many of us miss I think when it comes to understanding the role of the father and the son. He says the father judges no one but has given all judgment to the son. if you think back to how you traditionally perceived God many of us would have to admit that what we tend to think of is God. The father is angry at sin and Jesus steps in sweet little baby Jesus grows up and he's the good person who steps in for our sin and God's just angry with sin and Jesus isn't and because of what Jesus does God's like are a fine.

This says just the opposite when I quite the opposite I like the opposite angle on it. God the father is not sitting up in heaven going I judge you and you and you and you Lisa's know he gave that to the Sun. So now honor goes to the Sun for what he does because the sun now has the ability to say if you believe life is yours if you don't believe judgment is yours and he makes that call. It is not an angry father and a loving son. It is a loving and gracious and merciful and just Father and Son working in perfect Unison with each other to declare the reality of Who We Are

Why because it wouldn't be easy to think of the God. You've never seen a certain way. Harder to think of the son who people had seen that same way. Assassin 23 it's done. So that all may honor the son as they honor the father. You don't honor the son. He don't honor the father who sent him when we speak of the exclusivity of Jesus. We are not saying we are not an inclusive people that we don't want everyone to come to Christ. But we are saying exclusively have to come to Christ if you just believe there is a God. And you might even call him father. You're not in the same camp. Because if you don't love the sun then you don't really love the father. If you don't get the glory and the honor the son and you don't really get the glory and honor the father. It's only talk about Christianity being unique in that sense. It's because we make a unique Claim about who Jesus is. And therefore what we would love for people to do all people who would come is common engaged with the Lord Jesus Christ.

He says clearly and verse 24 whoever believes he hears the word and believes has eternal life. He is savior as well as judge. He is able to bring about eternal life salvation freedom from all sin and its consequences namely death it all is done away with in Jesus. Father has life in himself in the son also has life in himself.

And so he can give it and take it as he sees fit. Now. He knew that this would set some people off and so he says don't Marvel at this cuz he knew they were going to Marvel at that day is coming an hour is coming when people who are in tombs will hear his voice and come out hardly enough later in Jesus ministry with Lazarus. He actually does let someone into your the voice of Christ and come out of a foreshadowing of what's to come but the hour is coming because of what Christ has done. Where that what happened on a massive scale when Christ returns and speaks the final word. All those who have died will come in Resurrection and he's clear some the resurrection of life and some the resurrection of judgment. And when he says here you've been good in those who have done evil. He's already to find what good and evil is good is hearing the word in believing evil is not listening to the word and not believing. It's not saying you're doing up good stuff and you'll get resurrection of Life do bad stuff and you'll end up getting judge. No, he say already told us. What is good. What is good is trusting him. Honoring him what his bad is refusing to listen refusing to believe refusing to honor the Sun.

That's a pretty bold statement. Some senses when I read that I'm surprised they didn't just grab them and send them to the Cross right then and there.

Is he just made a massive statement about the reality of who he is? We as Christians were like, I believe in Jesus. That's the Jesus. We're saying we believe in

and it parts around the world right now when you say that's the Jesus I believe in persecution comes in the same way that the Jews wanted to kill Jesus or saying that people around the world want to kill people who say that is true as well. We don't experience that level of persecution here. But the Jesus we serve is still the same the calling Upon Our Lives to follow him is still the same. He is as worth it here as he is anywhere in the world.

Jesus knows his Old Testament He knows you can't just claim something on your own and have it be accepted. You have to have people who are willing to witness it to testify to at 2 to claim the same thing. You think about it in court nowadays? You don't just go in and say I think he did it. Why well, cuz I said so well, did anyone see it? Could we get one of them to talk about does anyone know that the merits of this case? Can we get 10 some them to testify about it in the same way in the Old Testament times? He knew he could not just say this he would have to provide witness testimony and so he can keep goes on in the next few verses here to talk about what it is that the testimony about him is First 31 if I loan bear witness about myself, my testimony is not true. He acknowledges that reality in their eyes. His witness would not be true. It is not saying and saying that you know, if I just say it it's not your nose. Jesus says that it's true, but in terms of the reality of their legal system, he understood they wouldn't take him at his word. And so he says okay, there's another you like this guy John you called him and he talked about me.

I'm not saying Jesus says in verse 34. I'm not saying that my testimony is merely what I received from man, but I'm saying these things so that within your legal system, you'll understand their people that have said that I'm right on this one. And you liked him verse 35 you were willing to Rejoice a little while and is lying. So thought that John the Baptist was doing a good thing if we thought he was doing a good thing for God and he says I'm who I am. That's why I only lasted a little while if they like Shawn. It's now they were being confronted with a testimony that backs up what Jesus says.

He continues in verse 36. The testimony I have is greater than that of John John the Baptist testimony was good. It's true. My testimony doesn't just end. There is much larger than that. What else testifies did Jesus besides himself and John the words the father is giving him to accomplish and diverse 36th. The very works that he is doing bear witness about me that the father has sent me. Chase's all the stuff you see me doing all these Miracles that have happened. That alone should testify to the fact that I am who I am. Would God have allowed feelings to happen on the Sabbath if he did not want to chew would he not have prevented it from working? For God is over all the very fact that I could do. This should testify to you that the father has sent me to do these things. It's not only what I say. It's what I do and what other people say about me as well. And if that weren't enough verse 37 the father who has sent me has himself bore witness about me. You don't want to trust John. You don't want to trust me trust the father. You don't you don't hear his voice. You don't see him. You don't have his word Abiding and you for you don't believe in the one he sent. How you going to know this because you search the scriptures and in them you think that you have eternal life? To God's word the scriptures bear witness about Jesus God himself and inspiring everything that was written in the Old Testament was setting people up in Jesus's day and going forward to understand who Jesus really is John the Baptist Jesus on works. The father himself witnessing through scripture. How did that scripture a witness continue to come?

Cuz they bear witness about him. and if they refuse to come

where in the Old Testament does it talk about Jesus?

4 answer that question ever wonder how the Old Testament in the New Testament connected for some people to say while the Old Testament doesn't apply anymore just New Testament the Old Testament was what they had understand who Jesus was and people got it. Why? Because the Fingerprints of Jesus are all over the Old Testament. The sacrificial system is set up to point to Jesus everything about the way King David succeeded in his kingdom was to point to Jesus. The prophets the priests the Kings they all point to the prophet Bea Priestley King Jesus. Doesn't mean you read every single sentence the Old Testament. That's clearly about Jesus know now there are some passages that are not speaking of Jesus.

There are many passages that are pointing to him over and over and when the first examples we see of it is in the beginning when God creates. Let us make man in our image. I think God is talking about the fact that there is more than one person involved in this process of the godhead creating things. I think we promises Eve after the fall that someone will come and crush the Serpent's head. He's referring to Jesus. And throughout that the Old Testament, you can continue to see him come over and over again and they didn't get it. They should have gotten it was clear enough for them to get it, but they couldn't see it.

That would have been great if they had but Jesus says in verse 43, I don't receive Glory from people.

Wait a minute Pastor don't we sing about the fact that we want to bring glory to Jesus and stuff is not part of what we're supposed to do. We say in Jesus doesn't want any of that. Now what he's saying is this his glory It's because he's God. People don't give that to him. It's his already. When we give glory to Christ what we are merely doing is reflecting back the glory that's been shown to us and saying yes to that Glory. We're not creating it on our own. It's already there. We're just reflecting it back and celebrating the reality of who Jesus is. So he says it would have been great. If you would, you could have life cuz then you would glorify me, but honestly, I don't get Glory from you.

But it does show me that you don't have the love of God within you this would have heard. It probably hurts some of us here. Because I'm only here.

If you're not glorifying Christ.

You don't have to love of God. Hertz Because even for those of us who are Christians we look at our lives and we go there are times when I do not. Do it.

Can we struggle when we sin? How do we handle that is love of God not in US.

That's why the process of forgiveness and repentance and restoration happens. So regularly for the Christian is not that we never mess up so we know exactly what to do when we have and we can be stored in that relationship again in that love that God has Forest can be maintained through it because he offers us that forgiveness and we come in Repentance in the restoration happen and the glory can flow again.

For The unbeliever Who continually lives a life that does not bring glory to God expresses that even if they say they love God, they really don't it's not showing it at all.

It talked about the fact that he comes in God's name. He's got someone that he's representing their the people that come in their own name and and you guys would take them. Some guy comes along says I'm so and so and I'm the best of this and you're like a great welcome. We love to have you Jesus, says I'm coming from the father who has sent me or like on I wouldn't want you. William I would approve Force whether he's telling the truth or not cuz he really is from the father and you say no to him then you got a big problem on your hands.

Cuz he's not just saying he's coming on his own authority. He's coming from the father. He's coming in his name.

And criticizes some slightly here on their willingness to accept praise and glory from one another and ignore. The glory that God himself is brought about First 44 when you receive Glory from one another and do not seek the glory that comes only from God. And it comes from the only God.

Why is it you're so concerned what other people think about you and less concerned about what God thinks about you. Why is it that anyone's comment to you? And I mean anyone's comment to you who you are matters more to you than hearing well done good and faithful servant.

There should be nothing in our lives that supersedes we're goes above. The statement that God makes about us if you are a child of God, you are a child of God. No one can say otherwise.

Met someone comes along and tells one of my kids know that that's not really your dad. That doesn't make it true. Bars near my son's always be my son's. No matter what anybody says they're still my sons. Even when they screw up royally, they're still my sons. And when they're glorious and loving still my sons. God says about you Trump everybody else's statement.

Hangouts back and he hits them on one point.

Just don't think that I'm going to be the one to accuse you. I don't need to. The one who gets you is Moses. Why because that's who they set their Hope on. He believed in Moses you believe in me, cuz he wrote If me but if you don't believe in his writings, how will you believe my words? So you've got all these Witnesses Moses specifically in scripture the one who they would have looked to as being gods man who brought them through out of slavery into freedom. They said she didn't believe him and he spoke about me. So now you're in trouble.

Keith speaking to Jewish people who are relying on Moses. So don't sit here this morning to go. Well, I'm not relying on Moses. So that doesn't apply to me. He's speaking contextually to a particular situation to a particular group of people. He's got people who did not put their confidence in him, but put their confidence in Moses. So the question you need to ask is not am I trusting Moses too much. The question you need to ask is what am I putting my confidence in? That's not Jesus. What if anything or anyone do I look to to say that's what validates who I am. Because if it's anybody but Jesus and that person isn't leading you to Jesus then you're getting it wrong cuz Moses was pointing into Jesus and they weren't getting it may got call out for that. So the people and the things that you are basing your hope and your confidence on aren't those who are saying it's not about me. It's about Jesus go there.

And we're in the same problem that these folks were in. Do you come to church and you think a I show up every Sunday? I got to be fine, right? I want to first become a church member. I went in that tub there and God went all the way. They put me all the way under. I made a statement I came for I signed a card that said I'm good now.

none of that matters at Hall And you may be sitting here this morning. I heard some laughs and that's okay cuz it is funny. But it's also a sad reality. There are hundreds and hundreds know thousands of people. Feeling churches in are very City. Let alone around the world today that are putting their confidence and some stuff that they've done and not in Christ. They assume because they showed up and they did stuff. They were supposed to do that all the sudden they were good and it doesn't make you going Christ does now is it wrong to attend church. Is it wrong to become a member know is it wrong about like know these are all good things but they're not the things you put your confidence in the car just signed and make you a Christian your faith in Jesus makes you a question. Don't confuse the two.

I try to do good. I really do try really hard. You can't you cannot try hard enough. God is not going to look and go, but I will let you in cuz you really wanted to No, he let you in because you really trusted Christ and that's the key point of this this whole text as he's talking to them was to call them to the reality that you need to make a decision about who you think Jesus really is they were mad because of what they saw. As is it a violation of the law when in reality it was a declaration of the glory of who Christ is and we are in the same exact place. We make a decision to say yes, I believe Jesus is exactly who he says he is or no. I'm going to make a version of them. I like better and go with that.

I remind you what Jesus said earlier on.

Whoever hears his word and believes him who sent me has eternal life. He does not come into judgment, but it's passed from Death To Life verse 24 You're sitting here this morning and you are not trusting Christ right now. That's the call. That's what it's all about. If you're here this morning, you're like I am trusting in imperfectly, but I am trusting him. When you read texts like this, let him sink into your heart. Let him let him penetrate two areas of your life where you're like, I love Jesus a whole lot. But there's this thing. What the reality of who is sink into those areas and transform those two?

Colette all of you be able to express the love you have for God and not just the parts you put on display for other people when you gather with.

That's where the rubber meets the road. So I want us to pray as we go to prayer. I want us to pray about a couple things one identify where you're at asked God it is used to pray and ask God where am I at with you right now?

And think through it with his help in light of his word. And depending on where you fall. See if you're willing to take whatever in the next step is for you. Do I need to put my trust in him? Do I need to renew my trust in him? Do I need to let go of some stuff for latch onto some stuff about Christ that I've been I've let it linger.

And then ask for help to make that next step now, that's very individualistic. That's good, but it's not the extent of the church you have other people in this room who care deeply about the outcome of your life. That's why we're here together. So in addition to praying for you pray for the people around you pray that God would be giving them the boldness in the strength and the courage they need to take whatever their next step is in their walk with Christ. And then when we get done here don't keep it all to yourself. Don't just go home and be like, okay. I have my little private thing with Jesus now talk to other believers hear about it and hold each other accountable and celebrate with each other when things go well and call each other to account when they don't go out live the Christian Life out together rather than just by yourself if that's how God created you to be. And when we're done with that, I will close this in a little bit if you want to come forward for prayer if you got something to pray about Pastor Bill and I'll be here to password on playing this morning. Please come forward and pray with us would love to if it's something you want to spend more time talking about give a call in we love to schedule a time to get together with you when it's convenient for you to be able to talk and pray. Let's go before the Lord in prayer.
