Would you join me as we pray?

Praise you, Almighty God.

Lord, you knew that everything was coming. Where we are right now, Lord, you knew that everything was coming where we are right now Lord you knew you knew in advance

so you allowed us Lord you brought us here to this church under the teachings of this

passage so that we would hear,

receive from your word,

for such a time as this,

so we praise your name.

Let our time together not be a waste.

Let's put away whatever thoughts we have, Lord, in our own agendas, Lord, this morning, that

we would hear what you have to speak to us individually. We lift your name on high, Lord. Thank you, Lord. Give

Pastor J.D. the strength to continue to do your will, Lord. All the glory. In Jesus

name, we pray. Jesus' name. Amen and amen. Good morning. Welcome. You can be seated. Those of you online joining us,

we're so glad that you are. Before we get started though, I want to mention that our all-church

prayer meeting is this Tuesday, July 1st, can you believe it's July already?

7 p.m. note the start time, 7 p.m., especially those of you online,

because I'm going to kick it off the prayer meeting with a message about those times in our lives when, from our perspective, God seemingly even unnecessarily delays only to then miraculously answer my prayers.

Also, Lord willing and certainly time permitting, I'd like to share a personal testimony

about how and why God did this exact thing both for my wife and in my life.

So hope you're able to attend or join us online Tuesday, 7 p.m. Let's get to it.

This is the first of two Sunday morning services that we devote to Bible prophecy by way

of these weekly Bible prophecy updates and then second service which actually the worship starts at 1045
