So glad you're here tonight. How you doing? Blessed? All right. Also want to welcome those of you that are

joining us online Thursday nights. We're going through the Bible in our verse by verse study book by book chapter by chapter.

We're currently in the book of Jeremiah chapter seven tonight. So I'll have you turn there if you're not there already.

I know what you're thinking because I can read your minds. So you've done the math and I think

there's 52 chapters in the book of Jeremiah and that's how many weeks

there are right in a year so the question is is it going to take us a whole year to

get through the book of Jeremiah no I'm hoping the rapture comes first, but a couple of things before

we get started. Save the date of Sunday, June 5th, for our water baptism. It'll be after second service, one o'clock. You don't need to sign up,

just show up. If you've never been water baptized, you'll certainly want to do that. It is a command.

In scripture, not necessary for salvation, of course, but an expression outwardly of an inward

commitment of salvation.

Also, the following Tuesday is going to be our prayer meeting here in the Sanctuary at 7 p.m.

And I sure hope you can join us.

And this is probably as good of a time as any just by way of a friendly reminder to make

sure your phones are silenced before we get started.

And why don't we begin with a word of prayer, if you would please join with me.

Oh, Lord, thank you so much.

Lord, would you settle us down now?

And quiet our hearts and clear our minds and by the Holy Spirit help us to focus our attention

so our minds don't wander.

Lord, I know that the enemy doesn't want us to hear what it is that you have for us tonight, here in your word, as always is the case.

So, Lord, we're just going to ask you to keep us focused. So our minds don't wander.
