Praise the Lord. Amen. Amen. Yes, Lord, that is true. Every day, every hour, Lord. As the song says,

Lord, we thank you so much for this time that we can gather together, Lord. And as Pastor J.D. said in

the first service, Lord, we need to stay connected, Lord. Help us not to disconnect. So we need your Holy Spirit. Lord. not to disconnect so we need your Holy Spirit Lord speak to us

as maybe this message may be hard to hear Lord so the only way we can accept it Lord is for you to work

on our on our hearts Lord would you just humble us this morning? Because what you have for us

is good and perfect. We ask this in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen. Amen. Good morning. Welcome. You can be

seated. So glad you're here. I want to welcome those of you that are joining us online as well.

Before we get started, I want to take a moment and pray for the people of Turkey and Syria.

Doubtless you're aware of the absolute, I mean horrific devastation.

The death toll continues to climb.

I checked again this morning.

It's already over 30,000 and some are saying that it will go even higher, not just higher,

but much higher potentially. So, you know, when you hear those numbers,

they're not just statistics or numbers. Those are people. They are sons, daughters,

mothers, fathers, and brothers and sisters, and they're real real people and they leave behind people that are

just grieving in sorrow and severe pain and like never before they need Jesus. And so I would

like to pray if you would please join with me. Father in heaven,

we're so thankful to you at times like this for prayer. What would we do if we couldn't pray

at a time like this, Lord? And not just pray, but pray specifically

for the people in Turkey and the people there in Syria. And just, Lord, the devastation,

the unthinkable horror of what's happened. And Lord, I just pray that you, by the Holy Spirit, as only you can, would comfort those

who mourn, who are suffering.
