Thank you for the warm welcome.

What a blessing to be back with you guys.

I always love filling in for Pastor Jack,

honor to do that.

If you have your Bibles, go ahead and turn with me.

If you would to 2 Timothy, chapter three,

2 Timothy, chapter three.

I'd like to pray one more time as well

while you're turning there.

Heavenly Father, we're just so thankful for what you've done

in our lives up to this point and all you have in store

for your people.

And God, as we turn our attention to the scriptures,

we do so with thanksgiving.

Thankful that we can do that here in this country,

that we have religious freedom to gather together in a place

like this and worship you and now give attention to your words.

So God, we ask for your blessing on this time.

We pray that your Holy Spirit would minister

to every person here today, whether they know you personally

or maybe they were invited by a friend today.

We didn't even consider themself a Christian yet.
