Philippians chapter 4 and our text will be verses 20 through 23 so if you're already there

if you are able I'll ask you to stand you can follow along if not that's our right

where you're seated is fine we'll'll begin in verse 20 where the apostle Paul by the Holy Spirit is writing as he ends now this letter to the church there in Philippi.

And he says, to our God and Father, be glory forever and ever. Amen.

Verse 21, he goes on.

Greet all God's people in Christ Jesus.

The brothers and sisters who are with me send greetings. All God's people here

send you greetings. And then he says this and I want you to pay particular attention to it.

Especially those who belong to Caesar's household.

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen.

Let's pray if you would join with me. Loving Heavenly Father, will you at this time quiet our minds so we can focus our attention

and give you our undivided attention with no distractions

and concentrate and focus on you and your word and that which you have for us today in your

word.

Lord, settle our hearts and open our hearts that we might receive from

you. Lord, we're looking to you to speak into our lives in and through your word.

We ask this in Jesus' name.

Amen.

And amen.

You can be seated.

Thank you.
