Hey, this is Beth.

Listen, what we live for at Living Proof is to serve people, the Word of God.

We base our ministry on Hebrews 412 that tells us that the Word is alive and active.

We pray this message is going to serve you in some way today and that God is going to

speak through it. Thank you so much for giving us this privilege. I want you to turn with me first

of all to the book of 2 Timothy. Deep in your New Testaments, you will find 2nd Timothy. Just keep

turning from the Gospels head head toward Revelation, and you're

going to run into it. Once you get to 1st Timothy, you know you're going to come to 2nd Timothy.

I want you to open to 2nd Timothy chapter 3, and then I want you to just hold tight.

So what I want to do first of all today is to set our goals so that we know what it is.

We are praying to experience and to have worked among us in the spirit when we meet here on

these Thursday nights.

And we've already said together for those who want to and in the

days in between. And this will become a theme that is daily on our minds that we are inviting God

to do in our hearts. So I want to give you the goal so you know what we're after. Because every one of

our lessons are toward these exact same goals.

So number one is this.

You can get your pen out and ready.

If you like to take notes, we invite you to join us.

Somehow what you write down has a way of getting into your psyche, settling in the mind like nothing else we could do.

So hear it, we've said it, and now let's write it down, to know so deeply who we are in Christ

that we are unshaken, that's your first blank, no matter who denies, doubts, diminishes, or mocks it.
