Amen and amen. Good evening. Welcome. Well, I was going to ask you how you were doing tonight,

but once again, I already know the answer. You're doing great. Have a scene. Glad you're here.

What a perky bunch. Isn't interesting how some songs bring back such fond memories?

If you only could see me, it's good that you don't

if you could only see me behind this door when you guys are out here I'm back there

again it's good that you don't see what I'm doing back there like because well

let's just say I'm getting a little Pentecostal.

But anyway, and that's okay in Jesus' name.

So glad you're here tonight.

And those of you online, so glad you're joining with us.

We're really looking forward to what the Lord has for us in Joel chapter 2.

You know, this is such an interesting book. And I know I say that probably about every book in

the Bible, but there's only one chapter left. Lord willing, next week we finish this book of

Joel as we make our way through the Bible

book by book and chapter by chapter and verse by verse but the more I and I know I

overthink things but the the more I study this book the more I find in this

book that I'm studying and because I over overthink everything, I'm thinking, God, there's so much here.

He's like, I know I inspired Joel to write it.

It's like, oh yeah, that's right, you did.

So God, what do you want me now to highlight?

Because there's a lot of different directions I can go with just this one chapter.

And it's kind of a, for lack of a better word, almost a technical book in the sense that it builds upon an actual literal event that took place, and it springboards from that into the future
