A Upper Room podcast family, we sure appreciate you and hope you are encouraged and edified through

these messages.

We look at tending to the flame of the Lord, Leviticus 6, the fire that God started, the

priests were called to tend to it every morning, and how as born-again believers have a flame inside of us

and how we as individuals and collectively as the body of Christ are called to tend to that flame

not through sacrifices of bulls and goats but sacrifices of praise and thanksgiving this has been so core to our DNA

this is really a state of the union for where God is taking our local

body, but I do think it will encourage the broader body. So, tending to the flame, the church being a

house of prayer, hope this encourages you. Thank you. Well, good morning. How's everyone? All right.

We're glad you're here.

We are missing around 300 women.

They are coming back from a retreat in East Texas.

We had our Bloom conference.

And so how many single dads were manning the house this weekend?

Just me. All right. We, uh, the pinnacle of our weekend is, and I'm not going to tell you how this

happened, but we had to cut a seatbelt in our car. That's what happens when mom is not around the house. So, um, it's been an eventful weekend,

but we all made it here in one piece. And, uh, aren't we grateful for moms? I mean,

you guys aren't feeling our pain. I mean, I'm bleeding up here. Um, no, they had the Bloom conference.

I already heard just amazing testimonies.

And we're in the works of planning a men's conference.

We're going to call it the Boom Conference.

I think that would be awesome.
