Good morning.

She I have a Bible and I hope you do and might you to open with me to Joshua Chapter 7.

Feel free to use your table of contents there in the Old Testament

you need to and pull out those notes

that in your worship guide that you received

when you came in, you see that it says to the top sin in the camp part two and it's really part B

if part two I feel kind of bad that we're camping out on sin and the camp for an extended period of time.

I really don't want you to be depressed coming to worship every Sunday.

I was telling some of the staff that part of me feels like

if our last couple of months it's just been so heavy I feel like I just need to get up

and tell some jokes or something one Sunday and here's the reason I'm not going to tell jokes.

Well, never one, I'm just not that funny.

And then second, it's 2nd Corinthians chapter 4,

versus 4 through 6th, give a picture

that, in a sense, haunts me as I preach.

It certainly overwhelms me.

2nd Corinthians 4-4 just to let you know.

A verse 4.

The verse says, Paul says, the God of this world, little G God of this world, the adversary,

Satan, the God of this world blinds the minds of unbelievers from seeing who God is.
