Turn with me, please, in the scriptures to Romans the first chapter.

We began a new series.

We talked about living by faith.

And the Lord took me and took us a little bit different direction than what I had envisioned in the beginning.

But we're learning to just follow him wherever he might lead.

And so we want to do the same thing tonight and every time.

Let's release faith together right now for the next several moments or hours or days.

Years ago, I was in Baltimore, Maryland. There's some dear, dear folks, and the older ministers,

and the lady of the church

she said now Brother Keith

if you forget what time it is

just look behind you

his calendar on the wall

and they were the bishops there

and introduced me he got up he said now

now eat the whole roll.

Eat the whole roll.

He said, mm-hmm,

he went and sat down.

So we don't want to short you tonight.

Let's believe together.

The Father, in Jesus' name, thank you that we're alive in you.
