Would you join me and bow your heads as we pray Lord.

Great are you Lord and worthy of all of our praise Lord.

We thank you that we can worship Lord and Lord would we worship with all we got.

There's no way that I've seen in the Bible that it says that we have to worship on tune,

on pitch, on key, because it's from our hearts, sorry.

We worship in spirit and in truth, and the truth is you are the Almighty God.

So we lift your name up this morning.

Thank you for this time of worship.

And now, Lord, would you lead us in your word through the power of your Holy Spirit, Lord?

Be with Pastor J.D. Continue to love on Him and His family.

Encourage Him in your Word and use Him for your glory, we pray.

In Jesus' name, Amen. Amen and amen. And good morning and welcome me. You could be seated. So glad you're here.

Those of you online, you're probably already seated. So like I mentioned first service, you should probably stand.

No, I'm just kidding. You don't have to stand. I know you're comfortable.

I'm going to get right to it. Is that okay? Yeah. We're in Mark's Gospel. We're making progress

verse by verse and we're going to pick up where we left off in verse 13 and we're going to make

it through to verse 17. I should say Lord willing. Now I know you just sat down.

I want to, if you came out of a Catholic background, I want you to have flashbacks, but

can you, if you're able, if not, no worries. Stand for the reading of God's word. You can follow

along as I do. By the way, just so you know, that comes out of God's Word. You can follow along as I do.

By the way, just so you know, that comes out of the Old Testament when they found the scrolls

of God's Word and they were read and everybody stood for the reading of God's Word.
