Amen and amen and good morning and welcome. Wow, you all look marvelous today. You can be seated. I can't see you online, but you look marvelous too.

We're so glad that you're joining with us today. There are a couple of things though that I want

to mention before we jump in. The first of which is that our prayer meeting is coming up this

Tuesday. It's August 5th here in the Sanctuary at 7 p.m. However, my wife, Kelly, has an extremely

important doctor's appointment on that day and I will be by the side of my bride all day on Tuesday and also Pastor Leitu has a

memorial service for a friend that he will attend so Pastor Mack will be doing

the prayer meeting in both of our absence.

Really encourage you to make plans to come.

I know you will be so very blessed that you did.

The second thing is, doubtless we're all thanking and praising the Lord that there was no tsunami Tuesday

after the warning and the ensuing evacuating of multitudes of people.

However, and there's a however here, I've been inquiring of the Lord about what I did see,

which has led me to thinking about and praying about what I didn't see.

Now, why do I share that?

Because I would covet your prayers as I continue seeking the Lord in this regard,

specifically should he permit me to expound on some of the prophetic

parallels that's not this week but Lord willing next week Lord permitting this week

this week this first of our two Sunday morning services is devoted to the teaching of Bible

prophecy by way of our weekly Bible prophecy updates.

Now second service, for those of you online, it will be live streamed at 11.15 a.m. the teaching Hawaii time.

If you go to the website, the worship starts at 10.45 a.m.

But that's the sermon. What's the sermon? Not a message.
