I know that I fully intended to start in 2 Corinthians today. We had completed last week after two years the book of 1st Corinthians chapter by chapter and verse by verse.

Today we were going to actually tackle verses 1 through 4 in a teaching about what trials produce in our lives. So Lord

willing, next week we will pick that study up and start in the book of 2nd Corinthians.

But I made the decision this morning on the way here actually to sort of preempt the second Corinthians teaching and devote

our time the entirety of our time to Bible prophecy especially in light of this

terrorist attack this morning in Orlando Florida however because we've had a number of requests, particularly from our online church, I do want to do a very brief building update prior, if for no other reason, just to simply say thank you to everyone both locally here and then also online

globally all over the world for just your overwhelming support financially. So many have given so much

generously and cheerfully and so much so that we're greatly encouraged in moving forward by faith,

trusting the Lord to provide all that we need in order to complete the project.

We had been in contact with a lender, and back on May 22nd, a couple weeks ago now,

I made the decision to humble myself.

That's not really what happened.

Let's just say God humbled me.

And I brought our financial need before God's people and God's people responded so generously

and we're so grateful for all the gifts financially that have come in both large and small.

So we've had a number of people that have asked us to keep them apprised of the progress and

so I want to do that. I did shorten this in light of today's prophecy update so I'll

give you the abbreviated update here on how we're doing and the progress we're making.

This is a picture of the front. We're getting ready to pour in the concrete.

We're going to have planters around the outdoor seating area there in the front of the building.

It's going to be very beautiful. We have a seating area there in the front of the building as well, and this is a better shot of it.

It's going to be, it's going to really change the dynamics of the entryway. It's not going to look like a retail business and store. It's going to look like a very welcoming church.
