And now unleashing God's truth one verse at a time.

Here's Grace to You, Bible teacher John MacArthur.

Again this evening as we have for the last few Sundays we come to the Word of God and

and have the opportunity to proclaim this glorious revelation not to the normal congregation

in the church but to a congregation spread all over the globe.

Last Sunday there were people who were part of our service from eighty-five nations,

incalculable numbers of people joined us each time we've done this and that would be

true again tonight.

And the Word of God is being translated into multiple languages including American Sign

Language and we are receiving responses from around the world.

That's a sobering thought for the preacher to understand the responsibility that lies

at his feet to speak in a way that perhaps will make this particular message exactly

the clear truth that could capture the hearts of some who don't know the Savior.

As a society globally we are living through a kind of dangerous threat that has come upon

us with a virus.
