Well, good evening.

Blessings to you all and peace be multiplied.

And on behalf of Pastor J.D. Farag, we'd like to welcome you to our midweek Bible study, our live stream service,

where we're normally going through the Old Testament doing our line-by-line teaching in God's word.

But tonight, we'll be having a topical teaching.

And before we get into that teaching, why don't we bow our hearts in a word of prayer?

Father in heaven, I cannot thank you enough for all that you continue to do despite

all this going on.

And I pray, Lord, that you would meet us here tonight and bless us with your word, your word

of truth, the word that we can rely on and depend on.

I ask that you would go before me in the strength of your might, and may every word be seasoned

with grace.

I thank you now for that which only you can do

and provide for us, your sheep.

In the mighty name of Yeshua, we do pray. Amen.

All right.

Tonight, our study is titled

Biblical Governance,

which has a very broad scope, if you will. Many things and many applications can be put to this simple title.

And all of what's contained in it would be impossible for us to get into in the time that we have together tonight.

But I do believe that we are in a place in time where much of this has to be discussed.

And I don't think many of you would disagree.
