Amen. Amen and amen. Good morning and welcome. You can be seated. Glad you're here. Glad those of you

joining us online are. Just a couple of things before we jump in, the first of which is an update concerning Maui.

As you know, Pastor Steve Santos of Calvert Chapel Westside. There in line is a dear friend of mine,

and we talk all the time, and we're hoping to have him and his wife Kim here early March. So,

Lord willing, and if we're still here, we're going to schedule another Thursday night together

Another mark your calendar date will be Teresa's celebration of life.

It will be here at the church on Saturday, February 3rd. It will begin at 10.55 a.m.

And then it will be followed by the graveside service at Mililani Memorial at 2.30 p.m.

So that's Saturday, February 3rd coming up.

but I did warn you in all fairness full disclosure that this week we would pick it up in verse two

and go through to verse two so that's what we're going to do. So you don't have to,

but if you want to, you can stand up for this lengthy reading of God's word. By the way,
