Welcome to the Jesus Image Podcast.

How many of you would agree we're living in a very

turbulent and volatile hour?

Would you agree with that?

And while certain things are certainly difficult to watch or hear of, the Lord is not panicking. It's not panicking, but he is grieving.

And I want to provide a context this morning because I am going to go somewhere

because as a follower of Jesus,

let alone a pastor,

I feel like I have to go

and address certain things today.

Just as a member of the bride, I feel an obligation.

I've heard that people see this house.

It's a house that's in some way leading.

I don't get caught up and all that.

I just try to be a faithful follower of Jesus

and let people come up with their own explanations

as to what our influence is.

I want to begin with a context regarding the Lord's love for us and how this whole thing

began and how it will end. I'd like you to turn your Bibles. We're not going to read yet to Exodus

Chapter 25. It's great to be back

at the pulpit and I'm excited. Thank you all for being amazing. It's nice to be able to go on

vacation and see the church grow and remain healthy.
