Lord, we thank you. Would you join me as we pray. Lord, we thank you for this time of worship that you have blessed us with such a beautiful place that we can gather, Lord. Praise your name and fellowship one to another, Lord. But most importantly, hear your word, Lord. We can't pray enough for our pastors Lord would you please give them strength continue

to guide and lead them through the power of your Holy Spirit Lord speak to them and

keep them Lord and this morning would you have your way in our hearts and in our

minds that we would be focused and tuned in to you and what it is that you have for

us this morning. So we ask this in your name only we say Jesus. Amen.

Amen and amen and good morning and welcome. You can be seated. So glad you're here,

especially today. Those of you online, we're glad that you're joining us

today. I hope you got your electricity restored. That would be a hard no. If you're wondering why we here at the church had electricity during the ongoing outages,

it's because with unanimity being of one mind and one accord, we decided to install a full backup power system

for what we had discerned was coming. And this was clearly and unmistakably the Lord chiefly

birthed from and tethered to Scripture,

namely Proverbs 22, verse 3, which paraphrased and expanded says this.

The wise and prudent foresee the evil danger ahead, taking careful and prayerful actions,

making vigilant and diligent decisions, but the naive and gullible pass

it off and go blindly on suffering preventable consequences and avoidable difficulties.

Is that a good answer?

Amen.

Summed up this way. Praise the Lord.

It's his church. So we're just stewards of that which he's entrusted us with, which is our

profound privilege to be entrusted with.

One more thing before we get started, very excited about this.

We want to let you know that the Calvary Kanyeohe Children's Ministry will be singing two songs for both services
