Lord, we just come before you now, Lord, and just lifting up our praises to you, Lord. Looking forward to going home soon and very soon, Lord. And we thank you for this time, Lord, Father. May you bless this time and me. Bless the world as it goes out. It never comes back to void, Lord. We thank you and you praise you in Jesus' name. Amen. Amen. Good morning and welcome. You can be seated. Thank you.

I want to welcome those of you that are joining us online. We're so glad that you are. Before we get started, I want to mention that on Tuesday night, 7 p.m. here in the sanctuary. We're going to have our prayer meeting. We would really encourage you to come and join with us if you're able. And it'll be here in the sanctuary from 7 to 8.30 p.m.

So we have two services on Sunday morning, as I'm sure you're aware aware and the first is the weekly Bible prophecy update

that we've been doing for a number of years and back in 2020 it's all a blur now we started

doing the teaching separately for second service which for those of you online will be

live streamed at 1115 a.m.

And this is our verse by verse study through the Bible. We're currently in 1st John.

And today we're going to look at why it is that we have so many problems in our lives.

Do you have problems in our lives.

Do you have problems in your life?

No?

Well, let's just close in prayer then, I guess.

But not only why it is that we have so many problems in our lives, but what Jesus did and is doing to solve those problems in our lives.

So that'll be again at 11.15 a.m. for those of you online, and if you're watching by way of

YouTube or Facebook, we'd encourage you to go directly to the website at J.D.Farag.org.

There you'll find the uncensored and uninterrupted entirety of today's update.

And with that, let's get started. What I want to do today is answer the question of why it is that everything in the world today seems to be so strange now.

I'll start by giving you the short answer to the question then I'd like to take the time in our time together today to expound on

the answer specific to Bible prophecy. The short answer as to why everything happening in our

lives and in the world today is so strange now is because everything is about to change now.

That's a short answer.

Well, I realize saying this in this way may come off as clever, cute or even cliche, but the truth of the matter
