Good evening. You can be seated. So glad you're here tonight. How you doing?

Bless? All right. I also want to welcome those of you that are joining us online Thursday nights.

We're going through the Bible in our verse by verse study, book by book, chapter by chapter.

We're currently in the book of Jeremiah.

Chapter seven tonight. So I'll have you turn there if you're not there already. I know what

you're thinking because I can read your minds. So you've done the math and I think there's 52 chapters in the Book of Jeremiah and that's

how many weeks there are, right, in a year.

So the question is, is it going to take us a whole year to get through the book of Jeremiah?

No.

I'm hoping the rapture comes first, but a couple of things before we get started.

Save the date of Sunday, June 5th for our water baptism.

It'll be after second service, 1 o'clock. You don't need to sign up, just show up.

If you've never been water baptized, you'll certainly want to do that.

It is a command in scripture, not necessary for salvation,

of course, but an expression outwardly of an inward commitment of salvation. Also, the following

Tuesday is going to be our prayer meeting here in the sanctuary at 7 p.m. And I sure hope you can join

us. And this is probably as good of a time as any just by way of a friendly reminder to

make sure your phones are silenced before we get started. And why don't we begin with a

word of prayer. If you would please join with me. Oh Lord, thank you so much. Lord, if you would please join with me.

Oh, Lord, thank you so much.

Lord, would you settle us down now and quiet our hearts and clear our minds and by the

Holy Spirit help us to focus our attention so our minds don't wander.
