Would you join me in a word of prayer?

Lift you high in my lowest valley, Lord.

Pray that we would sing for joy in the midst of it all and through it all, Lord, as we look to you to get us to the end, Lord.

Praise your name.

We thank you for the teaching that is in front of us this evening, Lord.

We thank you for Pastor J.D. Lord.

Continue to protect, lead, guide, strengthen, and encourage him as he stands and delivers your

word Lord we ask these things in Jesus name amen amen good evening to you welcome you can be seated

oh by the way if you haven't got your communion elements,

because we're going to partate together of communion, we're keeping you on your toes.

They're not in the front anymore. So we're going to make you search for them. Actually,

they're in the back. There's actually a method behind the madness and that is to make it more convenient for those,

especially if you come in late, you don't have to come up front and then you're on camera

live all around the world and hi mom kind of thing, you know. So anyway, we're going to try it for tonight see how it goes

but you might want to get the elements and have them ready for the conclusion of the bible

study those of you online we want to welcome you we're so glad that you're joining with us you

might want to also if you plan to partake with us, get the

elements ready so you can. I want to just mention quickly on our Maui mission support.

On Sunday I'll provide more of a detailed update. We're working diligently. And I want to, I guess, man, I spent so much time on the phone today.

But things are moving forward and those with the greatest needs of which there are still many are being provided

for and taking care of in Jesus' name as only God can.

And in some ways they are miraculous ways that God is doing it.
