Bless the going forth of your word today to our hearts.

In Lord, we pray that as you move in our midst, God,

that you would excite us all not by anything else,

but by the word of God, the Bible.

So Father, we praise You now and we thank You.

In Jesus' name and all God's people said,

Amen, amen.

You guys, I'll tell you what, for time's sake,

as we stand in respect of God's word,

I'm gonna read the passage all the way through for time's sake.

All right, let's do this as you look on.

I'll read Romans six.

We are looking at verses one through 11,

with this series titled Happily Ever After.

And verse one begins, what shall we say then?

Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound?

Certainly not, says the Apostle, it's a strong word.

Absolutely no way, perish the thought.

How shall we who died to sin live any longer in it?

Or do you not know that as many of us as we're baptized

in the Christ Jesus, that is not water,

but into his death, we're baptized into his death.
