Hey there, I am so glad that we get to serve you today through this podcast.

I pray God is going to speak to you.

Father, I just bless you this morning.

With my whole heart, I just want to give you praise.

Because, Father, you are worthy.

In ways that we cannot begin to comprehend, you are worthy.

You do things that we cannot see.

You work in ways, Father, that we cannot begin to comprehend.

You are ever at work.

And that's a big part of what our lesson is about this morning.

I pray, God, that you would just seal upon our hearts the certainty of our significance in you today.

That it is you through our work.

And we want to bless you.

We want to hear from you today, Lord.

I thank you that the privilege to hear

the voice of God is probably the greatest joy I have beyond my salvation. So, Father,

I ask you to just make your voice known. I pray, Father, you'll make it so personal to each one of us that we would get something

that you're trying to get through to us, Father, that we'll get it today. So, Father, you just

send it forth, and I pray it will come into receptive soil because we want to know you and we want

to have hearts to love you. And you come into our midst and you do what only you can do. In the mighty, perfect and delivering name of Jesus. Amen. You make yourself comfortable.

And so we'll pick up in Ephesians 1. I want to read verses 11 through 14. In him, and if you'll notice with

me, it has just said Christ at the very end of verse 10 so that we can see our context.
