Amen and amen and amen.

We're ready for this church?

All right, hey, we've still got a few hundred people that don't have seats.

So if you've got seats next to you, will you scoot in or raise your hand?

We promise we won't make you get baptized if you raise your hand right now.

But if you got a seat next to you, would you please and look around and help them out a little bit and please be kind enough to scoot over so they don't have to do the awkward thing and cry I'm over you in church they don't know

you that well yet go hey um man all week long we've been singing this line I'm not going to sing

it because I don't sing good I sought the Lord and he heard and he answered that's from

Psalm 34 by the way I sought the Lord and he heard and he answered.

That's what I was praying for us as a church that God would rend the heavens, that he would

rip away anything that separated us from him. And I believe this week once again, God showed

himself to be faithful to his own promises, amen?

That we have sought the Lord, we have leaned in, we have drawn near to God, and he has drawn near to us.

And then today, today we're in a bit of a crossroads, a bit of a railroad crossings, if you will.

That it's the last day of saturated and it's the first day of this series run over

by the grace train, and I'm going to preach a shorter sermon, okay?

For you the Catholics, this will be like twice as long as the homilies you're used to.

For your regular 1122, or it's going to be like half a sermon, okay?

So I'm going to preach, oh, I love, who said all?

Who said all?

You're my favorite 112222 right there, okay? God bless you and your ministry.

You were fearfully and wonderfully made.
