Well, good evening, and on behalf of Pastor J.D. Farad, we'd like to welcome you to our Thursday night live stream service here at Calvite Chapel, Kanioli, where we are normally going through the Old Testament doing our line-by-line teaching. But tonight, we will be conducting a topical study. And before we get into our study tonight, why don't we have a word of prayer and ask for the Lord's blessing upon it?

Because we will need it. Join me, please.

Father in heaven, Lord, I want to thank you so much for all that you've done and continue to do.

And now, Lord, I petition your throne of grace and ask that you would bless

this time that we have together tonight. We're assembled and ready for you to speak.

And I pray, by the power of your Holy Spirit, you would do just that, and that I would be removed

and you would provide the useless instrument

that stands behind this pulpit with the sound that everyone can receive. So Lord bless

this body of believers and all that would hear and heed. And we thank you now in the

mighty name of Yeshua, Jesus, the Christ, we do pray. Amen.

So tonight our study is titled The Dividing Factor. And I am completely aware that throughout the nation and the world,

we have many factors that cause division. But I truly believe that there is no greater issue that has and continues to cause more division than the current crisis that we face today.

And the division that it is causing is on a global scale.

And it's being executed with an evil precision that nearly goes beyond belief.

And I would say absent the scriptures, it would be beyond belief. But I thank God for his

word of truth, because in the end, this is to be expected. And we should not be dismayed, have our lives so discouraged that we just walk what our faces to the ground. These things must come to pass. And while they are coming to pass, we have a job

to do within the church. And we should really focus on our duties and fulfill being faithful servants.

But sadly, this division that we see happening on a global scale has and continues to cause

much division within the church.

And the devil could not be happier.

Because the job that we are supposed to be doing as Christians is now stifled because of this division.

And it allows for all of his minions the opportunity
