I want to pray one more time before I preach. I want to pray for something

specifically. Everyone's standing at every location in your home stand, in your

kitchen stand. Get out the bed and stand up in your Tommy Johns if you have to.

Put a robe on, robes of righteousness, and stand up. And I want to pray, I don't

have long to really talk about it, but I want to pray about it, about our

offering next Sunday, December 12th. This is a tradition and more than it's a

turkey or something like that that's going to put you to sleep anyway. This is

training. This is how when when we trust God, when we bring him the first

fruits of everything that he's given us, which thousands of people will commit to

do here between now at the end of the year and set it up online and all that.

And many people giving above and beyond, I've already got my offering ready. I

got a head start. I started on this, started praying about this in October. So I'm

ready. But we're calling the offering better. That's the word that we

associated with the offering. I took it from where he said the glory of the

latter house will be greater than the glory of the former house. And so many

people right now are in seasons of rebuilding. But the Lord doesn't just want to

rebuild what we had before. He wants to take us to a new place with new priorities

and new perspective. So now the key to all of this, do you really trust that he's

your provider? Do you really trust that he is Jehovah Jairah, the Lord provides,

the Lord sees. So when I bring my offering, it's not just oh so we can keep

paying staff members oh so we can keep changing guitar strings on Joey's
