Would you bow your heads in prayer?

Lord, we thank you for this time to gather together.

Lord, we thank you for this season where,

although many things are just really crazy out there, Lord.

You are constant and you're true, Lord.

And we lift up your name.

We say Jesus this season, because you are the reason for this season, Lord. So would you guide us, Lord,

and your word, would you lead us? If we need clarification, Lord, Holy Spirit, would you speak to us, Lord?

We thank you for this time, Lord, and we thank you for Pastor Mack as he delivers your word this evening. We ask these things

in Jesus' name. Amen. Praise the Lord. Please be seated. Well, good evening. And on behalf of

Pastor J.D. Farag, I'd like to welcome you to our Thursday night Bible study

and a live stream service. We're glad that you are here or joining us online.

Well, we're normally in the Old Testament going through the Bible, chapter by chapter,

book by book, line by line. But tonight tonight we will be conducting a topical teaching.

Before we get into the study tonight, I do want to remind everyone about our next prayer meeting

that will be held on the 9th of January at 7 p.m. here in the sanctuary,

and I pray that you would join us here if you are able.

Obviously, there is so much to pray for.

I mean, if truth be told, we would never leave the ground.

Our hands would constantly be lifted up, and eyes are fixed on him for real and constant prayer.

I'd like to continue to pray for the various missions.

Of course, Maui, local prayers for all of us here and our families.
