Leave us a five-star review on your favorite podcast platform. I get it. It's annoying. Everybody

asks, but I'm going to tell you why. When you give us a positive review, what that does is it

triggers the algorithm so that our podcast shows up on more people's news feeds. You and I both know

that this ministry is willing to talk about things that most ministries aren't.

We need this content for the glory of God to reach more people's ears.

You're doing a great job.

We've got several hundred reviews so far, but we like to reach a thousand reviews by the end

of this year, the year of our Lord 2024.

If you haven't left a review yet, take a moment

and help us achieve our goal.

Thank you, David. It's wonderful to be reminded of the law of the Lord and especially the Fifth Commandment.

God's law is certainly for our good as we just heard.

And it is good for us to honor fathers and mothers who have done so much for us.

So it's a privilege even to be reminded of that.

There would be a lot in today's sermon, which might reflect back to the Fifth Commandment.

So let's refresh our minds or keep

that in our minds as we now move forward to hearing the word preached. It's a pleasure to be able

to preach this morning. Again, as I said, Pastor Joel's gone, and I always consider it a great

privilege and pleasure to preach for or preach in the place of Joel when there's opportunity for him to rest.

So if you have your Bibles or a copy of the sermon notes which are in front of you,

please direct your attention now to the text at hand.

If you'll notice today we're going to be pausing our sermon series through the book of Matthew
