Well, tonight I'm excited, but I say that a lot because it's true as we get into these

texts and stuff and the topics that are coming up I just just get excited about it, right out of the pages of scripture.

There's just this unending wealth of goodness that's there.

So let me give you a quick overview of some of the things we're going to be doing tonight.

We're in Romans 11 will be in

verses 33 through 36 finishing the chapter and we're going to study a

New Testament worship song. That's really how I see it. This is like a worship song

is really what it is.

We're also going to learn a very important Greek word. So are you ready for this?

This is going to be very hard. A very hard, complicated Greek word I'll teach you tonight.

And we're going to talk about what it really means to lose your life for Christ, because

there's sort of a, almost a paradox about the idea of losing our life for Christ and what we gain in return.

And so I think it all is going to tie together in a beautiful little rainbow of love.

So, Romans 11, verse 33, let's just read the passage.

Here's our worship song.

It says, oh, the depth of the riches,

both of the wisdom and knowledge of God. How unsearchable are his judgments and his ways past finding out.

For who has known the mind of the Lord or who has become his counselor?

Or who is first given to him and it shall be repaid to him.

For of him and through him and to him are all things to whom be glory forever Amen.

Now this is what we call, the fancy word for it is a doxology.

How many guys are familiar with that word, doxology?
