Would you join me in a word of prayer.

Heavenly Father, how good it is to be in your house, Lord, and to sing and to lift our praises

up to you, Lord, in worship, Lord, and in song.

Thank you for this time that we can gather together, Lord.

Would you be with Pastor J.D. as he delivers your word, Lord.

Continue to give him courage, wisdom speak in and through him lord and may we receive what it is that you have for us this

morning lord we ask this in jesus mighty name we say amen amen and amen and amen. God bless you. Good morning and welcome. You can be seated.

I know what song is going to be stuck in your mind all day today. That's a good thing though, right?

Those of you joining us online, we just want to welcome you as well. And we're so glad that you are. We have two services

on Sunday morning, as you know, the first of which is the Bible prophecy update that we do weekly.

And then second service, which will be live streamed at 1115 a.m. Hawaii time is the sermon. We're currently in a verse

by verse study through 2 Peter, almost done with 2 Peter. And today we're going to look at

what it is that knowing and understanding Bible prophecy produces in the life of a Christian in this,

the last hour of human history as we know it. So I know what you're thinking because

I can read your minds.

Pastor J.D., why are you talking about Bible prophecy all the time?

You're asking that, right?

Answer, because Peter is.

That's my story and I'm sticking with it. So that'll be second service

and really looking forward to what the Lord has for us. So interesting, the prophetic parallels,

if I can say it like that, to where we're at in the Word of God and where we're at in terms of Bible prophecy

and by extension these prophecy updates.
