Wednesday night, we'll continue our study through the Bible. We got through chapter 18 on Wednesday,

and we'll pick up chapter 19 this coming Wednesday, Lord Willen. So I'm going to draw your

attention to just a tiny little text, but it's small but mighty, I think. And that's what we do

on these weekend services is zoom into our upcoming Wednesday chapter and maybe look at something a little more up close. That's what we do on these weekend services, zoom into our upcoming Wednesday chapter
