It's not going to be an effort. Let's stand right now. Only two verses to read tonight as we get into Hebrews

chapter 12. Hebrews chapter 12 tonight. And we're looking at a message this evening titled,

we're leaving now. And boy, I hope that's prophetic. I hope we're leaving now like any minutes.

But we're leaving now. And minute, but we're leaving now.

And you're going to see why it's titled that, starting tonight.

But Hebrews chapter 12, verses 1 and 2, I'll do verse 1 if you'll do verse 2.

By the way, I want to thank all of you on Sunday.

I was joking around, but it worked.

I told you guys, I'll read verse 1 of you on Sunday. I was joking around, but it worked. I told you guys,

I'll read verse one on Sunday and you read verse two and read it like, read it so Washington and Sacramento could hear it. And you did and they did. We know that they heard it.

By the way, if you did, apparently, God used Sunday's message.

If you missed it, and it has been now on five different news publications, secular as well.

So some good, some bad. But all of the reporting was really accurate,

actually, even the bad reporting. I think I'm not, I think was either MSNBC or in our NPR. I don't

remember who it was. Even what they said, they were making fun of Christians voting.

And I thought, that's awesome.

Well, listen, the reason why they're making fun of Christians voting is because they're concerned that Christians might vote.

Wow.

All right.

Let's not disappoint them.

Verse one. Verse one. Therefore, we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses,

let us lay aside every weight and the sin, which so easily ensnars us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us.
