Thank you. May be seated. Bring you greetings this morning from Pastor Tim Delina,

who's in Greece, Athens, Greece, where he's been speaking to hundreds of pastors who need

encouragement, especially that part of the world today. I was in contact with him this morning,

and he's aware of the situation obviously that's happening in the

Middle East and wants to be home with you as soon as possible. He's making arrangements

to do that now. So thank God that you have a pastor that's so committed to you as a congregation.

I really hope you appreciate that. I really do. And the fact that God has made him a man of courage,

he's willing to speak what the Lord puts on his heart, and he's been prepared specifically for

such a time as this. And it doesn't give any greater pleasure to my heart than to know this church is in such good hands.

Thank God for that with everything within me. I've had a song that just is sticking with me all day

since I got up. Would you permit me to sing? It's a chorus. And it goes, his strength is perfect

when our strength is gone.

He'll carry us when we can't carry on.

Raised in his power, the weak becomes strong.

His strength is perfect. His strength is perfect. His strength is perfect. His strength is perfect when our strength is gone. He'll carry us when we can't carry on.

Raised in his power, the weak becomes strong.

His strength is perfect. His strength is perfect. You know, we're going to need the

strength of God in the coming days. We have been warned in this church for almost 40 years now of the days which are not coming our way they have arrived.

Days of turmoil, days of social breakdown, days of even potential disorder in our major cities, days that will be fearful to those whose hearts are not completely fixed on the

faithfulness of God. And the Bible speaks of a foundation that can be built in Christ,

that will take the fear of whatever circumstance you might be facing today or tomorrow out of

your heart and give you
