Good evening and welcome to our midweek Bible study. We're so very glad that you're joining with us tonight.

On Thursday nights, we're going through the Bible, book by book, and chapter by chapter and verse by verse.

And tonight really looking forward to what we have here in the book of Isaiah.

We finished a couple weeks ago, actually, chapter 17.

So tonight, Lord willing willing we are going to complete

chapters 18 and 19 will invite you to turn there at this time and also because at the end of the

Bible study we're going to partate together of the Lord's table we would also encourage you if you'd

like to join us to have the elements ready as well.

So with that, before we get started, if you would please join with me in a word of prayer,

and we'll ask God to bless our time together in His Word.

Loving Heavenly Father, we're just so, so very grateful to you.

It's really impossible to thank you enough for this special time that we have as a church

body and those that are joining us online to just kind of put everything aside at this time

and focus our attention on you and your word and put aside all the busyness of our lives,

all the distractions, the cares, the affairs, and just open up our Bibles and open up our hearts and

open up our eyes and ears so that we can hear from you and be ministered to by you.

That's why we're here tonight, Lord. We're here because we want to hear you speak into our lives,

in and through your word, as you always do, and as only you can.

Lord, for the many that are here or joining with us that are hurting, Lord, I just pray that you'll encourage and strengthen and bless, renew again as only you can.

So we just commit our Bible study to you tonight and ask your blessing on it.

In Jesus' name, amen and amen.

All right.
