After 9 will take us, 45 will take us back there.

After last week's final sermon about obedience, the spiritual discipline of obedience.

How's your Journal?

Now some of you we ran out of journals last week, that's on me.

My fault, there are journals in the back.

Now, if you did not get one last week because you weren't here, because we ran out there on the table, in the back off to the side there.

Please help yourself to one.

If you would like to know what structures you can put in that journal to help you on this Quest.

You can go to the face Life app.

Go to the church's group in your face, Life app, and scroll down.

You're going to find in big capital letters.

How's your journal?

And a picture of the front cover of your Journal not?

You were specifically but what they look like and and they're underneath that are pages that help you to understand.

Again, remind you things that you can do your questions, right?

You can ask yourself so that we might know what is right to do in every situation and how to do it.

Remember what they were?

Does it help me?

Does this help me?

Secondly, doesn't control me.

What controls mean?

Where does it hurt me?

Is this something that actually is productive?

Or is it damaging?

And lastly, and it a compass is at all.

Does it glorify God?

How much does the set aside things a little bit easier when we see it in writing?

What doesn't on the left?

And what should that you replace it with on the right?

Two different columns, on four different pages, or four different sections.

Encourage you to do that.

By the way, we had this morning a great Sunday school class.

We may have missed you whether you're online.

Now, following along with those of you that are here now that weren't able to be here for Sunday school, that recording of that, with the slide that we had, it just an audio recording with the slide is not video of me.

So you have to look at my ugly mug that is in the Faith, Life app in the churches group.

So, if you're listening on a listening in on line, or you're in this room and you you're not part of the church's group, you can search Washington, Baptist Church Turnersville and become a follower of watching you Baptist church.

And then if you would like to be a member of that group, so you can interact more with that.

You can certainly request that there was well I may or may not right away.

I see that you have joined in and make you that anyways, so are there a certain benefits you can have in one of those is that you can get the all the recordings all of the sermons that are they are all the resources that we post are, the announcements are calendar, calendar of events that you can click on it, be a part of as well.

So, all of those things are there, I want to move us through this morning at the start of this months.

Now, I've had to condense a little bit.

This entire month theme down to two sermons because The following week from now is going to be new life Island week on that'll be something different with Jordan and Esther here and then the week after that is going to be Pastor Eddie preaching.

So I have to press this down.

Lucky you into two sermons on the back table as well.

Are some hard copies, although it is also in faithlife.

The church's group in faith life on the back table is a hard copy version from the beginning of quest to actually the end even Beyond where we are now of the eight spiritual disciplines, there is one page for each month that we're dealing with the spiritual disciplines.

There's one page to help you in different exercises along with that spiritual discipline.

So it's a devotional.

It's meant to be something that you can work on throughout the entire month.

Not something you have to do in one sitting and some helpful resources in there as well.

So we did encourage you.

If you were able to I'll to go ahead and pick that.

It is some extra curricular reading if you're so inclined, Pastor Evans, put out a book that I would encourage you to read and you can find that there as well as in the fight Faith life group, as well.

As we trust that that's a blessing your heart as we go through this month.

Spiritual discipline.

It is as popular and I say that tongue-in-cheek as last month's obedience topic and that is evangelism.

We love to talk about evangelism.

Don't we?

I grew up a shy guy.

I remember the very first time.

I don't know my brother over the last few weeks have been listening in.

Lance.

If you're listening in, I don't know if you remember this story or not.

He was teasing me about not wearing a tie when past.

Ready, does I stand Here ashamed?

Before you now?

And every now and then he brings up an important things like that and haircuts.

So, that's good.

I appreciate the his encouragement along those lines.

I remember the very first time, as a teenager going out with, with a Word of Life.

Survey in my hand.

With the youth pastor, we're broken up in groups.

I was there had never done this before and they were back in the day.

They would do.

They would use these surveys as a canvassing tool to go door-to-door knocking the door and it had a series of questions to ask people as a survey of the community, but it would also eventually work its way down into some belief systems and and the possibility of incurring, the encouraging somebody in their relationship with the Lord and or to come visit the church as well.

So it was all of those things.

And I remember the youth pastor, he went, he took me with him and we went up to a number of different stores and he did it and walk through it.

And, finally, after 1.

He looked at me sitting out like, since you returned The very most scariest phrase you could ever say to me because I was a shy kid.

I didn't really talk well to strangers.

I barely was able to talk while the people I knew, but that's just how it was.

So God in his wisdom took me to this door that look like it was from a castle made out of pieces of Timber slap together with iron hardware Hardware.

That held this 400-pound door together.

That was arson.

The front of this house.

That look Gothic.

We walk up to the house and when you knock on the door, was that You know, sound that you hear in a haunted house that Echoes throughout the whole house.

There is no such thing as a haunted house, but you understand what I mean, right?

This is echoing sound as I knocked on the door and the door, then with the steel hinges, creaks as it opens up and this guy stands in the doorway prim and proper tall in good shape.

Darkbeard.

Call.

Twin very professional.

I begin to ask the first question turns out he was an atheist doctor of philosophy at Syracuse University.

It was weeks before I ever not been another door.

Obliterated me in a matter of seconds.

I'll listen.

We love the topic of evangelism.

I say that tongue-in-cheek.

We love having the responsibility to go out and encourage people to believe something.

They might might not yet.
