If you have your Bibles open up to Matthew chapter 5, we're going to start with the 17th verse.

Matthew chapter 5, let's start with 17th verse.

Title of our message is the tale of two hearts.

Tale of two hearts.

And I just want to congratulate you all as a church because coming down from South Florida to just hear

about the wonderful things God is doing in and through you

and not that this church, not only that it impacts this community,

but the fact that you impact the world.

And congratulations on starting that amazing new school

and that record attendance and just all these cool things you're

doing keep up doing what you're doing it's a it's the favor of the lord that allows a church

like this to be thriving and flourishing and having the kind of impact so bravovo and I am looking forward to knowing how God's

going to continue to use this church. You have a wonderful pastor who has a wonderful gift of

being able to preach the word of God. So again, I'm touched and humbled to be here. Let's open a word

of prayer. Dearly, Father, as we gather together on this morning, we are just grateful for how you bless us

with a new day. You are still in the business of creating. To think about it, Lord, that you've

given us this brand new day. The Bible says, this is the day that the Lord has made, and we are to rejoice and be glad in it.

Lord, do we come in here into this building or maybe join online, and for some of us,

this has been maybe a tough week, struggles in our marriage, things that work not so easy.

Maybe there's some health concerns, family issues, whatever.

It's just not been an easy week, Lord.

And we carry a burden, and we're a little bit tired.
