Amen and amen and good morning and welcome you can be seated not you online you're

already seated but that's okay welcome so glad you're joining us whether it's here

locally or online virtually as you know this is the first of two Sunday morning

services that we have devoted to Bible prophecy by way of these weekly Bible prophecy updates.

And then second service, which for those of you online, is 1115 Hawaii Standard Time.

And that's the verse by verse teaching through the Bible.

We're currently in the Gospel of Mark, and we're making progress.

We actually finished chapter one.

Wow, you didn't even hesitate to laugh after I said that.

But I know why, because you know how long it took us to get through chapter one.

We're not in a hurry, but we're going to start chapter two today.

And how about this?

First 12 verses, yeah? What have you out here by 2 p.m.

but I've titled this teaching and I tell you I'm so looking forward to this

here's the title what I'm willing to do to get to Jesus. Now, I have to warn you. This is a full disclosure thing, okay?

We're all going to be convicted. Not condemned. You know the

difference, right? Conviction brings you, draws you nearer to the Lord, whereas conversely

condemnation distances you further from the Lord. And Romans 8 1 says there is therefore now no condemnation

for those that are in Christ Jesus. So I was extremely convicted and because I was so

convicted I want to just share it with you so that you too are convicted

with me. You know that saying, misery loves company? So too does conviction love company

too. So I want you to be as convicted as I am in Jesus' name.
