And on Sundays we have two services, the first service normally dedicated to the Prophecy Update,

and the second service dedicated to the sermon. And for our second service this morning,

I want to invite you to join me in the book of Habakkuk in chapter 3. We'll read from verses 17 to the end of their chapter verse 19 and I would ask all who

are able to stand to do so for the reading of the scriptures this morning followed by a

word of prayer. Again the book of Abakakak chapter 3 beginning at verse 17. And the word of God reads, though the fig tree may not

blossom, nor fruit be on the vines, though the labor of the olive may fail, and the fields yield no food,

though the flock may be cut off from the fold, and there be no herd in the stalls.

Yet I will rejoice in the Lord. I will joy in the God of my salvation.

The Lord God is my strength. He will make my feet like deer's feet. And he will make me walk on my high heels.

To the chief musician with my stringed instruments.

Why don't we pray and ask for the Lord's blessing.

Father in heaven, we come to you this morning seeking your word of truth and the message

that you have for us, your people, confident in the power of your Holy Spirit to deliver.

We ask that you would just give us ears to receive.

We thank you for that which you are about to do in our midst together this morning.

So go before us in the strength and power of your might.

In the mighty name of Yeshua, Jesus, the Christ we do pray. Amen. Please be seated and thank you.

This morning our second teaching is titled, Joy, no matter what.

And how fitting a title and prayerfully a teaching for such a time as this.

And as Christians, we need to have joy, no matter what is going on around us.

Because the joy that we have should reside within us.

And this is not some euphoric type feeling or something to get us hyped up, like them clowns
