Amen and amen.

Church, would you please stand to your feet out of reverence for God's word.

Dr. Paul, our eldest elder, is going to read from Proverbs chapter 1.

The Proverbs of Solomon, son of David, king of Israel, to know wisdom and instruction, to understand words of insight,

to receive instruction in wise dealing, in righteousness, justice, and equity,

to give prudence to the simple, knowledge, and discretion to the youth.

Let the wise hear and increase in learning, and the one who understands obtain guidance.

To understand proverb and a saying, the word of the wise and their riddles. The fear of the Lord is the beginning

of knowledge. Fools despise wisdom and instruction. Amen. May God have blessing to the reading and the

hearing of his word. And let's get it up for Dr. Paul. for dr paul thanks you may be seated i know you were just standing then seating and standing we're trying to

make you catholics feel black at home all right welcome glad you're here sermon's going to be way longer

and you're used to hey proverbs chapter one is where we're going to be but then you also need this

hopefully you got this when you came in. This is our

10-10 life discipleship guide that you need for the next five weeks. Hold it in your hand. Everybody

get it out. It's pretty hardy, pretty healthy, okay? Kind of reminds me of a Sears catalog.

Who remembers Sears Catalog? Right? Google it. It's like Amazon used to come in a magazine. It was crazy, all the things that you want. And so I definitely don't have time to go through all this, but this is everything that we're doing as a church over the next year and beyond, really.

And so if this is your first time here or your first time back, you picked a great Sunday to be here because we're going to talk about everything that God is calling us to do as a church in this 10-10 life.

And just in case you're new, which a bunch of people are, about a year ago, we started

this two-year discipleship journeys.

So we're almost halfway through, and it's rooted in John chapter 10, verse 10, called

the 10-10 life.

And the first time this idea began to float around in my mind was way back in like 2019.
