Amen and amen. Wow. That was good. Thank you, Capono. Well, good evening and welcome. How are you doing the night? Good, blessed. All right. Well, I want to welcome those of you that are joining us online as well. We're so glad that you are.

Been a couple weeks since we started in the book of

Ezekiel. We left off in chapter one. We're going to pick it up tonight. Chapters two and three.

Chapter two, of course, sort of a shorter chapter. But actually they really go together. In fact,

chapter one really goes, and you understand

that there were not chapter breaks in the original, right? So they were added later, thankfully,

by the way, so we have a reference point, but this is a continuing narrative of sorts starting off with chapter one and

Ezekiel's I mean grand and glorious vision that God knew he would need for that which

God was calling him to and so we kind of dovetail now into chapter two which will go ever so seamlessly and

beautifully into chapter three and i tell you we're in for a treat tonight i know i say that

every uh thursday night don't i, it's okay. That's your lot. But you have treasures in heaven,

just so you know. Why don't we pray? Boy, that was really good, Capono. Thank you so much for that.

Lord. Father in heaven, I just want to almost in continuing Capono's

heartfelt worship and prayer in that same way, just approach your throne of grace and and just pray Lord that as you would teach us to

worship that you would also teach us by your word or this is the bread of life.

And for some of us, it is life.

It's a lifeline for us.

So, Lord, we come to you that way tonight.

Many may be hurting tonight and struggling and weary, heavy ladenen but you said that we could come to you

all of us who are weary and heavy laden and that you would satiate that need of our soul

that you would give us rest and that your burden is light and your yoke is easy and

and that we can cast our burdens on you, all of our cares on you because you care for us.
