Rethink Happiness - Beatitude 3

Well, it's great to have everybody here today as we continue, our series walking through the eight Beatitudes of Jesus and channel rethink happiness. I see many of you have your study guides in front of you. If you are new and didn't get one of those, there might be a couple left at the connection center. You can check that out after the service. I know we are getting pretty, pretty low. But we're having a great time during the 60 days of spiritual growth asking the question. What does it mean to truly be happy? And more importantly, even then, that is, what does it look like to live? Like, Jesus. Love, Like Jesus and Lead, like Jesus. So we're going to continue that with the attitude number 3 here today. Let's start by asking a question. If you were to fill in this sentence happiness is.... How would you respond? Happiness is... I'll tell you how I respond happiness. Is a couch too. Small. Take a look at this picture. We got a couch in her house. That's very very full. We have extra family at our house. These days as you've heard me say and we're just loving it. It's great. So here you have Prince Roland of my two-and-a-half grandson surrounded by Papa Grandma sisa. We've got the Rex the Wonder Dog. We got little Remy, the puppy their Uncle Britt and then the manga right around the corner, but all we're having fun snuggling up there altogether, and having a ball happiness, is... Introducing you to my brand new granddaughter. There she is. Did I tell you? I'm a grandpa. Have I mentioned that before? Is she not the most beautiful girl in the history of all creation. Get ready for unashamed unrelenting Papa bragging for the next Millennia. Are you guys ready? And how good to know that Mommy's doing great baby. Liliana is doing great and Daddy was able to make it home for the birth. That's a big, big deal. So we're very, very excited about that and a mini, you know, that Reggie was deployed. So we weren't sure that was going to happen. And one more happiness is the first annual Big Brother hike through the deep dark Forest. That's right. Role in my 2 and 1/2 year, old grandson, and Papa and Rex our Scout dog, went into the back Deep Dark Forest, looking for Brad. We've been talking about Bradford weeks and weeks and weeks and we went deep into the dark forest and the two words that Rowan said to pop over and over again, was Hold Me, Hold Me. Because when you're really short and the Fallen trees are really kind of big and the overgrowth and and everything is a little bit tough. You need some of little bit bigger to carry us. So we made it into the Northwest Territory. It was very treacherous. We were trailblazing pioneering brand new country and Rich was out front showing us the way and we made it to a trail and the trail took is to a clearing and the clearing turned out to be a park but we never found Brad who is Brad you say, Brad is our friend, the owl that we here every night and we talked about Brad and we tell stories about Brad. And that's the story about Brad via. When you think of Happiness, isn't it? True? Most of it revolves around people? I mean, I just told you three of those stories and it's all about people's all about family. I mean, there's really nothing more important in all the world to us than the people in our lives are family or close friends extended family, people. We work with things of that nature. And today we're going to talk about respecting other people. The first two Beatitudes, in a blessed are the poor in spirit and blessed. Are those who mourn all about our relationship with God? The Third beatitude. Blessed are the meek is all about our relationship with other people. If we don't have the first to write, it's going to impact the third one. We're going to do well, we're going to do better and better and better in respecting other people if we first have a relationship with God dialed in. So I wanted to talk about that here today, you know, statistics say in many people report this that less and less people are happy today and article by the Smithsonian and study and research by the University of Chicago reported by. The AP says, there's less people happy today. In fact, only 14% of people say they're happy. That seems so low to me. And whether it's true or not, we know there is an awful lot of it, happiness in the world today. I read a book here recently, entitled did the, The Happiness Advantage, seven principles of positive psychology. That feels excessive performance at work by Shawn achor, as taught in the Harvard stained, happiness course, the long title, but there it is, and it's a fascinating read Because I tend to have this persuasion myself. It's better to live life with a positive mindset, then a negative mindset and we need to bring kind of a positive approach to life of persevering. We can do overcoming kind of a an approach to life and anchor kind of watch through this whole idea. Here is what he says. He says are most commonly held formula for success is broke and he writes conventional wisdom holds that if we work hard, we'll be more successful. And for more successful, then we're going to be more happy if we can just find a great job. The next promotion, lose those 5 lb happiness will follow. He says, it's not the case at all, rather. We need to bring happiness to everything in life. It's happiness that fuel success. Not the other way around. When we are positive. Our brains are more engaged, creative motivated, and energetic, resilience and productive at work. This isn't just an empty Mantra. We have proven this out over and over again. They go through all the data, he concludes by saying, this is Success causes happiness than every employee who gets a promotion, every student receives an acceptance letter and everyone who's ever accomplish the goal of any kind should be happy, but we know that's not true. With each Victory. He says what happens in reality is the goal post moves, the goalposts of success keeps getting pushed out further and further and further and happiness gets pushed out over the horizon. You see friend's happiness is internal that. External the whole message of the Beatitudes. Makarios blessed. Happy. Jesus says, happy are you if you do these eight things basically saying? Joy is internal its internal joy. That is anchored in an eternal God. You don't get married to get happy. You. Don't you wait for a promotion to get happy. You don't hope for this that or the other thing to get, happy know, you find. Happiness is God, and you bring that to your marriage and you bring that to your workplace. Can you bring that to your educational process? That's what Jesus says. It's an internal Joy. Start with your relationship with God. Blessed are the poor in spirit. Blessed are those who mourn get dialed in with God. Jesus says, if you're down in with God, it's going to set you up in your relationships with people. Blessed are the meek blessed are those who respect other people. Now, let's take a look at what it means to be made from Cannabis, thirty thousand foot view. First of all, my weakness equals humility are interchangeable. Those are basically synonyms. We talked about in the Beatitudes. Jesus gives us the eight Beatitudes in Matthew Chapter 5, and we mentioned that this is the quintessential teachings of Jesus Christ. The AP attitudes are expanded in The Sermon, on the Mount, which is expanded in the gospels, which has expanded to the rest of the New Testament. It is be quiet. In fact, that Jesus were here, he would say, if you don't get anything else, make sure you get this as far as my teaching are concerned. This is absolutely vital importance. And they're also sequential. I just alluded to the fact. We need to make sure we understand blessed are the poor in spirit and blessed are those who mourn. If we're ever going to understand blessed are the meek blessed are the poor in spirit. What's your, those who understand? They desperately need a relationship with Jesus Christ. They desperately need to make peace with God through faith in Christ. We need to understand who we really are and we desperately need a savior and blessed are those who mourn when your stand, the devastation and destruction of sand and run from Saint as fast and as far as we possibly can. Blessed are those who mourn are saddened by sin? And blessed are the meek. If we get our relationship with God, right, our relationship with other people are going to be set up to succeed. If we don't get the first two, we're going to flounder their sequential and they're also radical. The Romans didn't value humility. And neither did the Jews. The Jews had all of their self-made man-made laws and they thought, if we do this, you know, we'll get there. We can get there on our own. You know, narcissism hubris egocentrism. It was the order of the day. It's all when Jesus brought the message of the Beatitudes blessed are the meek. He was turning things upside down a really right thing. Right side up. Show, humility places, things in proper order. Jesus says, it's God, first other second self 3rd and yet we live in a culture that says South First self, second and self third piece is no, no, no. No, it's God. First then other people and then you or third place. That's what it means to be humble. Don't be haughty. Don't be hard-hearted. Don't be narcissistic. Don't be egocentric. Don't be prideful or arrogant. You want a better marriage. Jesus says be humble. You want better relationship with your kids be home. Do you want a relationship work with extended family in the neighborhood? Be humble in this day and age were people are so quick to just you know, take shots at each other on social media or otherwise is a powerful message for us who follow Christ to really take personal inventory of and ask herself a my Living Like Jesus loving like Jesus and leading like Jesus. Am I truly live in out meekness and humility? It's a great question to ask. Derwin gray and his book. The Good Life said, God's Grace has a humbling power that will redirect your life and I would say it this way. Friends. When we accept Christ, as Lord and Savior, the work of God spirit in US is all about One focus. And that is to transform us to make us totally different, the grace of God at work in your life, and mine is going to produce quality christ-like qualities that we cannot live up to on her own or we can't produce on her own. The grace of God wants to produce that in us. Now we talked about how the teachings of the Beatitudes are quintessential and they're really flushed out the rest of the New Testament. Look at all these verses that talk about humility. Paul says this be completely humble and gentle, and another verse who says, do nothing out of selfish ambition, but in humility value, others above yourself, the clashes, it says, clothe yourself with humility over and over again. Paul is saying, humble, humble, humble yourself. Peter says in 1st Peter 3:8, finally, all of you be like mine to be sympathetic. Love one another be compassionate and humble again. He says, clothe yourself. Put it on intentionally specifically, put on humility. Jane says, humble yourself before the Lord and He will lift you up. It's an interesting interesting thing in the New Testament, the Way Up Is Down. We descend into greatness. If you want to be great, in God's kingdom. Jesus said be servant. It says here, humble yourself and God will lift you up. Lower yourself to 3rd place and God will lift you up. Powerful scripture to read verses like this humility with humility comes wisdom. Humility comes before honor song says God will guide the humble and we all need God's guidance in so many areas of our life. Now. I want us to just stop right here in the middle of the sermon and I want us to remember and reflect and then I want us to reset her, our lives. I used to think for a moment in my living out meekness in my living out the third beatitude. Am I living a humble life or does arrogance and pride, and narcissism system have too much room to roam in my heart and life and relationships. Only just to think about it right now, right in the middle of this message. What you just took to re-center your life. Few months ago. Lisa handed me a book and said you got to read this. This is really profound and I read it. And I said you're right. This is profound. It's a book called the Sabbath written by Abraham heschel as a Jew. He writes about the profundity of the Sabbath for the Jews. They talked about how the preparation for the Sabbath was as important as celebrating the Sabbath. The Sabbath was a huge huge thing in the life of the juice and yet even then there were some Jews that just didn't really want to make room for God in their life. They didn't want to celebrate the Sabbath, you know, they, they basically wanted to Judaism without God's faith or belief. The Sabbath interfere. God interfere. Special goes under right? We need the Sabbath to survive civilization. Sanctifying the Sabbath is part of our imitation of God, but it also becomes a way to find God's present and he's writing as a Jew for Jews. I just found it. Extremely profound, a many levels, especially this one right here, and I alluded to it last week when I let us in the taking of Holy Communion. I said, every time we take Holy Communion. Let's stop. Remember the goodness of God and resent her, our life. Anchor, our life Jeep in Jesus Christ. We need to establish spiritual rhythms in our life where we stopped and we remember and we resent her life because life gets so hectic and so busy, and we gets flying so fast that we lose track of who we are, and where we are, especially where we are in faith, and we need to resent her deep in Christ and so find rhythms. Every Sabbath is a great one and that you're here and here's an opportunity as I encourage you just to resend your life Jesus. I want more of you and less of me more of you and less of me. Your number one. Others are second. And I'm third God. May I respect others in such a way that brings glory to your name, how I treat other people. Lord says a lot about my spirituality. How do I treat other people has a lot to do with how closely I'm following you in my living, like you loving like you and leaving like you if so, I am going to respect other people as you have instructed me. Blessed are the meek busser the humble? And the better, we get it. That the better. Our marriages will be, the better of family. Relationships will be the better. All of our relationships will be, I know, within the sound of my voice as much as I know anything that there are many many people today. In person in the chapel service, in the other services coming up later today, people online people up in the family room. People would say, if they were honest, I am struggling in one relationship area or another And we need to go back to beatitude. Number one, God, I need you. Beatitude number to God. I need to run from sin number 3, Lord help me being Meek, and humble and respect other people with all that is within me. Recenter. We need to reset Our Lives. We need to Humble ourselves. God help us. Now. What does it mean to be making the last few minutes that we have? Your, I want to kind of take a look at meekness from three different angles. It's basically the same subject that I want to touch on it for just three different angles. The first one we've already really talked about but I'd like to just look at it just a little bit more. And that is to be meek means to be humble to lower ourselves to not value ourselves as much as we typically would affect your ears. But here's what the Bible says. It says, to be humble is to eradicate pride and arrogance. Romans 12:3. Do not think of yourself more highly than you are. To be humble, is to prefer others. Over yourself. Prescriptions. 1024 says, nobody should seek his own good, but the good of others. Number three to be humble, is to Value others. First, after God value, others above yourself, number for to be humble is to give others the best seat. Luke 14:11. Those who humble themselves will be exalted. That's the story that Jesus tells of ancient. Banquets and feasts. Whereas, you come don't go to the the, you know, the head of the table and then be asked to go to the, the foot of the table. No, sit at the foot of the table, humble yourself. And you might be asked to sit at the head of the table. Humble yourself. Humble yourself. Humble yourself. Take a moment right now. Just grade yourself on a scale of 1 to 10. You don't need to share it with anybody. Just in your own heart of hearts. If your degrade yourself on how well you're doing it, humbling yourself. If you give yourself at 10, I'm I'm doing great. I am exactly as good as Jesus. Give yourself a 10.

Or would it be at 8 or 7? I got room to grow or would it be a 5? I'm not doing all that great or would you say, you know, I'm really kind of narcissistic Pride arrogance gets in the way and it's messing up my marriage. It's messing up my relationships at work. I am full of myself. Be honest. Admit your sin. That's what we talked about last time. Be honest, give it over to God, ask God to do a reworking of your inner Spirit by his grace. So, you were anchored deep and beatitude 1 and 2 and you're able to be meek and humble and relate properly.

Meekness and humility is not being stuck on self at being stuck in other people. God help us and God will help us. Look at the song 25:9, He guides the humble in what is right and teaches them the way that is a humble church. I loved Pastor John the presentation about the Bethany Compassion Center Vision night, which is coming up in just a few short weeks. I hope we can get a lot of people here. We're not doing a banquet, you know, we're not able to do those things as easily as we used to. So, we're going to try to get everybody in here that we can. I'm hoping we get about 300 people, share the vision, get ready to climb the next part of the mountain as we continue year after year to build and strengthen our, local Outreach to our community. Nearly 30 Ministry programs that are reaching out to people in need the disenfranchised, the herding, the needy, and friends. We are all a part of it as we pray, as we serve, as we get financially is a humble giving faithful. God first other second type of church Thursday night, we hosted the PRC and then Pregnancy Resource Center, which is an organization that we partnered with in our community that helps moms in a crisis pregnancy situation, have options so they can make good choices and we were delighted to be a part of it. And pack it was it was kind of a funny side light. That was telling some of the staff and others about it. I was asked if I would be willing to do the do the big ass for the giving and I said, well, it should be happy to the person that was supposed to do it. The last minute, couldn't that a family crisis and I said, I'd be happy to do it and then they said oh by the way, you're going to be following Bob Goff who's our guest speaker and if you don't know Bob Goff, he's he's a prolific author and just a credible communicator and I thought I was just getting a little bit tougher right now, but but it all went great and it was a great evening a great event and just a reminder. That is a church family. We want to reach out and try to provide hope to people in Every area of their Walk of Life and a partner at the organizations. Like this, we do so much with the Everett Gospel Mission, just to try to write hope in options and opportunity. For people they giving church. This is a humble church. And and I pray that our community knows this is that, you know, that's a church down there. They love other people. That's a giving church. That's a humble church at the church. That cares. That's the kind of church that we want to be. That's what your kind of church that we are. Then if you prayed for me a couple weeks ago, I shared with you, the fact that said that coming Saturday. I had a funeral like, I've never had before it was really for two people, two brothers, who both took their own lives because of covid. Everything had to be pushed about a year later. And so the dad called me. And then that was tough here in from the dad, who is planning a funeral for two sons. Who took his life took their lives. And many of you come up and said, hey, how did it go? We can praying. And I just want to thank you from the bottom of my heart. Another example of a giving loving humble, others first, kind of church in the funeral went as well as as it could, and it seemed to be a comfort to many and I can Cruise you keep praying for the family even though you don't know their name. Just pray that God will help them. This is a tough tough time. You know, they're just illustrations that kind of people we want to be willing to be about others. God, first other, second us third. How can we be a blessing? How can we be a help and that translates into our own family? You know, you're the greatest husband is the husband that says, how can I be a blessing? How can I be a help? How can I serve, you know, the greatest spouse, you know, her parents and on and on it goes friends. How can I be a blessing? How can I serve? How can I be helped? Blessed are the meek? We respect others. God. First other second self third. And you got to fight that a bit me. Just say, one more thing going to fight that a day because we live in a culture that communicates just the opposite. It's me 1st, May 2nd and May 3rd, and Jesus turns out upside down his radical. He says, no, it's God first. You're not even second, Rob. Your third. That's the road to a happy life. That's makarios. That's internal, Joy, anchored in the Eternal God. That's how we do it in the Kingdom of Heaven. It's not you first you second. It's you third God, first other second, you third, the second angle that I want to look at humility at here is to be meek is to have an interior strength or you might say an inner strength that I like to ask. A question is. How is your interior? How's it going on the inside? Because so much of life is based on the exterior, people get so impressed with with Kennedy, the outward, evidences of who people are. But what's going on on the 8th. Who are we at the core? That's what the Beatitudes teaches. It's all about the courts. About the inner interior people, you know, meekness is not weakness. Made that statement a moment to go and and Moses was with me, but he wasn't weak. Look at numbers, 12 first three, Moses was a humble man more humble than anyone else on the face of the Earth and yet he demonstrated great interior strength, as he dealt with pharaoh and let a bunch of grumbling Israelites across the desert to the brink of the Red Sea, and stepped in and got part of the waters and all that mean that that took some great interior strength. Jesus was not week. It says, in Matthew 12. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me for. I am gentle and humble in heart. Jesus. Clean the temple and he confronted and he intervene and people's life in an amazing way. Some of those powerful things. I think of, when I think of the humility of Christ is when he was on illegal trial and falsely accused and he didn't even offer a word to defend himself. He knew the path. He was on when he was on the cross. He didn't yell and scream at other people for false accusations and the illegality of what was happening. What are you do? You said father forgive them for. They don't know what they're doing. He prayed for others. God. First other second self third. In English make is not a highly thought of wearing a lot of times. I mean, we throw that around and it doesn't know Garner up a lot of real, you know, positive, powerful thoughts. But in Greek, the word spelled t r. A u s was used to Divine Hort to find horses trained for bad. Now, listen to this. I came across this in my study and I found. This is just kind of put some light bulbs on for me, wild stallions were brought down from the mountains and broke for writing. Somewhere used to pull wagon somewhere raised, but the best ones are trained for Warfare. They retain Their Fear Spirit, courage and power, but we're discipline to respond to the slightest measure, pressure of a Rider's leg. They could Gallop in the battle at 35 miles an hour and come to a sliding. Stop at a word. They were not frightened by gyro Spears or torches. Then they were said to be meet. To be meet was to be taken from the state of wild rebellion, and made completely loyal to and dependent upon one's master. I think the application is clear. Have we been meet? And we've been taken from a state of wild rebellion and made completely completely is the keyword. They're loyal to depend upon our master. This illustration really Rings. True to me. I remember as a young guy and in high school. I had a registered quarter horse. We would go hunting. I would take Blaze and you know, I was really into that at that point in time and there was a time where I said, you know, I think I might try to break a horse. I'm going to try to break a wild horse. And I got up on Starfire the first time and Starfire Buck me off and it hurt really bad and I got up a second time which shows how smart I was and I got bucked off and it hurt worse. I was halfway up the third time in the thought, went through my mind. My mom didn't have any dumb kids, and I got down and said, I'm going to let the professional train, this source. Horses are strong. They are powerful.

In our nature is powerful.

And it needs to be trained. He needs to be disciplined. It needs to be depended upon a master. Now, I can at least meet of the final angle and it kind of goes along with that one right there. And that is to be meat needs to be under control. And that's what we talked about the fruit of the spirit, which is self-control license, 5, 22 and 23, but the fruit of the spirit is love, joy, peace, patience. Gentlest meekness, self control. Do I have emotional outbursts? Do I disrespect people buy by emotional anger and disrespect? A Meek person is self-controlled a humble person is self-control. Life is often lived in a pressure cooker. And if we're not careful, we can explode on people. Do we have a long fuse or a short fuse?

Blessed are the me an angle to look at meekness and humility is self control. Christlikeness. Christlikeness the fruit of the spirit in the Beatitudes to me kind of go together because they both describe the character traits of Christ of what it means to be Christian. When it comes to emotional self-control, look at Proverbs 16:32. Better a patient man than a warrior. A man who controls his temper than one who takes a city. Blessed is the man and woman whose every Instinct and every impulse and every emotion is under control, you say Rob that's impossible in our own strength. That is that's why we need Christ. Blessed are the poor in spirit. Blessed are those who mourn blessed are the meek blessed? Are those who live under the authority of the king of kings and Lord of lords. Blessed are those who march to a different drum beat in the kingdom of heaven and live their life. Honor Christ?

And ask Christ for his Spirit to flourish Innis & flow through us. We need the lord. I can't master my own emotions. I need God to help me the lack of self-control ruined. Alexander the Great remember the story who in a fit of uncontrolled temper, in the middle of a drunken State hurl, the spear and his best friend and killed him. Nomad can lead others if they can't first lead, them self. Think of the Bible stories of Saul and Samson and David uncontrolled emotions. And how about historical figures like Julius Caesar and even Benedict Arnold? credible applications all emotions and passions under control better than self control. How about God control are your emotions and passions under God's control? Are you bursting out? And, you know, emoting all over your spouse, your wife, your husband, your kids, your parents. And hurting the most precious people in the world. Do you respect family members? Do you tear others down with your words? Do you lose your temper and anger? And rip. On other people, is your spirit Bridal drained in to use the horse analogy under submission to Christ. Do you seek to serve other people? My prayers, God help us get it. Right? Blessed are the poor in spirit. Those who desperately, who know they desperately need God, listen to those who mourn, those who run from Senate as quick and as fast as I possibly can. And determined I want to live like Christ, love like Christ and Lee like Christ. And blessed. Are those who mourn or less are those for me? Where humble? We're not egocentric narcissistic full of hubris Pride, or arrogance. I'm not sure who penned this poem but it's a beautiful poem and I want to close with this. Let this be our prayer. Or help me live from day-to-day and such a self forgetful way. That even, when I kneel to pray, my prayer will be four others that selfie crucified and slain and very deep all within. That's the way my efforts be to rise again and live my life for others. And when our work on Earth is done, and my new work in heaven begun. They, I forget the crown. I've won while thinking still love others. Others, Lord. Yes, others. That this, my motto be helped me to live for others that I might live for thee. It made that starts first in our families. Did we build a strong family relationships? And if yours is struggling today, I want you to know there is great. Hope in, Jesus Christ to get back on track to get back on track and a rebuilt. That hole, and whatever you feel, you may have lost. I want you to buy your hearts and heads with me. Would you as we pray? And as we pray, I just want you to start by asking yourself this question. What is my personal application of the attitude? Number 3, blessed are the meek? For some of you, I hope it is that if you are far from God, that you would say, Lord. I don't want to make peace with God through faith in Christ. I want to become a Christian. I want to become a Christ follower. I want to get the first beatitude covered blessed are the poor in spirit. Blessed. Are those who understand? They have an accurate assessment of them self. They understand, they need God. Without you here today, would you just pray this prayer? Lord, come into my life, forgive me of my sins. I want to follow you, and put you first. I want to be a Christian and if you do, please, please tell me about it. On that connection card in front of you if you're here in the service or if you're online on the online connection card, just say, hey today, I prayed that prayer to commit my life to Christ, please. Please let me know about it. We want to send you some helpful information on the next step. The next step in your spiritual journey. Today, I want to commit my life to Christ. Lord, come into my life. Pray, that prayer. He will hear you. You will flood your life with his presence will give you the strength and the ability. To move to the second beatitude in the third beatitude. He will help you strengthen your relationships. He will help guide your way.

Commit your life to Christ. Maybe may be here today and see, right. I know the Lord, but you know, life is been crazy, and I'm just bouncing all over. The world and the walls, and I'm just not focused. And today. I went to recenter recenter my life in Jesus Christ. I want to reconnect my life to his values. I want to focus on his scripture. I want to recalibrate my life and get it ordered, according to the Beatitudes and the teachings of Jesus. Would you just pray that prayer?

The final if you're here today and you'd say Pastor Rob. I'm having struggles and some of my important relationships and I need God to help me. What type of every head down? Every eye closed in this Worship Center? How many would raise your hand and say, I just need God to help me with certain relationships in my life. Just let your hand of the Lord just listed as I would guess. So many ants all over this place. It's one of the most important areas of our life and also on the most challenging and we need God's help. And what I just pray for those that just looked at their hands for those that are listening at home or in our other venues that Lord I pray. But you will just flood their life and circumstances and give them guidance of Grace to be the people God that you want them to be and to bring healing and wholeness to those precious relationship. Healing Lord in Jesus name. They weary Center our lives in you. If we recommit our lives to you.

We love you Lord. We pray these things in Jesus precious name. Amen. We're going to sing a final song and be dismissed in just a moment. Our protein is here, and we would just invite everybody to stand if you'd like to come down for prayer. If you'd like to have prayer for a relationship. We invite you to come down. Let's stand together. We're going to sing a final song and then we're going to be dismissed. God bless you.
