Good morning church! It is such a pleasure to be here speaking with you this morning, I’m so grateful for these excellent youth who are leading our services today. Both the young men who are leading and serving here in our worship service as well as the wonderfully bright young ladies who led Bible classes this morning downstairs, thanks so much Krista and Bella! Today we are continuing through the story, and I’d like to set the scene with our historical context. (Talk about King David being old and handing power over to Solomon and compare that to Bryant letting you preach)
