Would you join me as we as we pray?

I want to say your name Jesus.

Oh Jesus.

Oh Jesus.

Father, you are so good. Come before you, Lord, this evening. Thank you, Lord. What a mighty God we serve. We ask, Lord, that our time together would not be in vain, would not be a time wasted.

So thank you, Lord, for providing this place.

And Pastor J.D., Lord, that we can come.

We have a place to come to, to receive your living learning.

So Holy Spirit speak to us this evening. Clear us from distractions, Lord.

Comfort our minds and our souls. Keep our eyes and our ears in tuned and focus on you, Lord,

this evening. We pray in Jesus. Jesus name. Amen and amen. Good evening. Welcome. I was going to ask you how you're doing, but I think I just got my answer.

So you can be seated. So glad you're here tonight. Those of you joining us online, we are also so glad that you are joining with us tonight.

So I do want to mention before we jump in that this Tuesday is our all-church prayer meeting,

and it will start at 7 p.m. for those of you online that's the

start time, Hawaii time 7 p.m. this Tuesday July 1st and I'm going to kick it off

with a message about those times in our lives when God seemingly,

and even from our fallen, finite perspective, unnecessarily delays, only to then miraculously answer my prayers in his perfect timing.

Lord permitting, and I should say time permitting, I also am praying about and thinking about sharing personally how God did just that in my wife and my life

in a very unexpected and powerful way.

In fact, that's the reason I am privileged to be your pastor of this God's Church.

So that'll be Tuesday again, 7 p.m.

Hope you're able to come, make plans to attend.
