Welcome to the Jesus Image Podcast.

Dear Jesus, we love you so much. Thank you, God, for this time together. Thank you, Lord, for the sharing of your word. Thank you, God, that we get to gather and love you.

Lord, bless this amazing church family, Lord. Lord, let them, God, that we get to gather and love you.

Lord, bless this amazing church family, Lord.

Lord, let them know how love they are by you, by us.

And Lord, I just thank you, Lord, that your presence will move today.

Touch your people, Lord, set them free.

I thank you, God, for every need to be answered. In Jesus' precious name,
