Good morning and welcome to our weekly Bible prophecy update. We're so glad that you're joining with us here today.

Before we get started, I want to mention a couple of things having to do with the many emails that we've received also posts and comments on social media regarding what made national news.

And that is that the COVID-19 testing here on Oahu was not mandatory, as some have

reported.

It was voluntary both Tuesday and Thursday.

They closed down our H3, which is our highway here, and they conducted the testing in the tunnel there on the H3,

and it was done on Tuesday and Thursday, but again, it was not mandatory. It was voluntary.

Also, Hawaii is under another lockdown order.

There is talk now that it will be extended beyond the original September 9th date, and they may

extend, which we're not surprised, but some churches have, of their own volition shut down but we will not shut

down we will remain open no matter what actually I want to talk more about this second service.

So first service at 9 a.m., actually live streamed at 9.30 a.m.

Hawaii time is the prophecy update.

And then at 11.15 a.m. is the Sunday morning sermon.

And on Sunday mornings, we're going through the Bible, book by book,

chapter by chapter, verse by verse. And we're in 1 Timothy chapter 3. And I'm going to talk about

my own personal conviction concerning keeping the church open. Please know that I in no way wish to disparage or be derogatory

towards any pastor or church that has closed their buildings. I know that many of you are here

because your church is closed and we just

again want you to be welcome here and make yourself at home here and we're just blessed to have

you here. So, but I do need to say that for those churches, for those pastors, if that's what the Lord is leading them to do, then what's that to me?

And I'll explain from John's Gospel chapter 21, something that the Lord really ministered to me and spoke to my heart about.
