Awesome. I hope you guys can all join us downstairs afterwards if you already have plans can cancel 'em. It's for its for a great cause. You know there's there's there's nothing, in my opinion is that there's nothing greater that you can do for the kingdom than to encourage young people in the Lord. You know Jesus was pretty passionate about kids. You know, he's pretty, pretty passionate about youngsters, and he has some he has some tough words, is anyone who would cause one of these little ones to stumble, it would be better for that man to have a millstone hung around his neck and be thrown into the sea. That's like sleeping with the fishes man. Like a pair of cement shoes. That's how Jesus felt about people messing with kids and the faith of little ones and stuff like that. So, I feel my belief is that we are in when we are encouraging young people In their faith, God's happy. And I don't know about you, man, but I want God to look down at what I'm doing and say, I'm happy with that. I want him to be pleased with what I'm doing. I got enough problems. You know what I'm saying? I don't know about you. It's like, I got enough problems. Every time I have an opportunity to do something, right. Every time I have an opportunity to do something good or do something for the kingdom, man, I want to I want to jump on it. I want to jump on it. Because I want to hear that well done good and faithful servant. You know, and it's not it's not dependent. I love what Dan always teaches us, man. It's the mark of a righteous person isn't how many times you fall it's how many times you get up. You know, that's it. That's what Mark says righteous. press forward. Man, whoever you are sitting here today. press forward in your faith, press forward. Do not allow the enemy to get you knocked off course. Do not allow the enemy to distract you because Make no mistake about it. He is at work to do that. Every single day, and he will use any means necessary to knock you off course, whether it's whether it's so anything, anything, insert your thing here, you know what I'm talking about. Right? This is what I love about what we do. This is what I love about the Bible. I don't have to sit up here and try to customize it for you. Right? Now, that's what the Holy Spirit does. So when we preach the word always our prayer is is that God would speak to each one of you individually. You know, someone over here might be getting why the Lord really showed me this. And someone over here might be getting something completely different man, the Lord really showed me this today, through the Word of God. It's so silly for a preacher to try to presume to give what we call a message, you know, and I'm not trying to like knock over the establishment or anything. I'm just saying, like, the message is not from me. Can you imagine if that's what you had to count on? It's from the Lord. And so that's why we gather here together today that will study the Word of God together, we'll read it together. And hopefully, the Holy Spirit will show you something today, how you might draw closer to Him. So we are in the book of Leviticus. And we are in chapter 19. there's a there's a bit of a break in the Scripture, when you go from chapter 17 of Leviticus to chapter 18, where God has been speaking to Moses about ceremonial, religious, the religious laws, all the implementations of the tabernacle worship and the way in which the worship was to be done and all of the different sacrifices.

And even though this is the Old Testament and the Old Covenant, we know that as believers in Jesus Christ, we're not under the law. We're under Grace,
