Hey guys, it's Peter here. I started my message out this last weekend on saying something to the

effect of the gift of righteousness is perhaps the single most important truth for us to understand

and experience as believers as it relates to our relationship with God and our ability to walk in the promises

that he's given to us. And so, obviously, that's a bold statement, but I stand by it. There are

chapters upon chapters in the Word of God that speak of the righteousness of God that comes to

us through Jesus Christ.

I hope it provokes you, hope it stirs you, more than anything I hope it causes you to get into the word and to know Jesus more. I love you guys. Have a great week.

Let's hop in, should we? Got your Bibles? Yes, show me your Bible? Yes, I saw people reading their Bibles during worship. Come on. We need the word of God. Lord, we need your word. Jesus, we honor you. We honor you tonight, Lord. We thank you for your word that is alive. We thank you, Lord, that this word is the same yesterday, today, and forever.

Lord, that it doesn't change with our moods, it doesn't change with our seasons, it doesn't

change with our, what we sense, God, this word remains true.

It's an anchor for our lives, Lord. And I pray tonight, Lord,

that there would be a great grace upon all of us, Lord, as we hear your word that that you would

establish us in your truth, Lord, by your spirit, in your truth, by your spirit, God, that you

would renew our minds to the Word of God, that you would cause the spirit to move in power, Lord, over our hearts, our minds, our bodies, our homes,

our relationships, our work. Lord, it happens by your word. Lord, in the beginning, in the chaos,

in the darkness, it was your word that brought the movement

of the spirit.

The spirit was hovering over the face of the deep, over chaos, and you spoke.

And your word and your spirit collided, and there was light.

And I thank you tonight, Lord, where there is darkness, where there is chaos, where

there is sin and brokenness, where there is shame, where there is the work of the enemy, Lord.

I thank you for your word tonight, bringing deliverance. I thank you for your word,
