Good morning, everybody. Glad to see you here this morning. Are you all thawed out? Oh my goodness. Well, we are in Leviticus still almost done. Then we're going to get to numbers. When we go to numbers. Pastor you sure we're supposed to go through the Bible verse by verse? You know what the Lord's got some blessings in numbers, man. I mean, not in some parts of it, but you know, I love the Bible, and parts of the Bible. I love it. Maybe this is just me because I'm disturbed a little bit but parts of the Bible to me reflects life. You know, I once heard a pastor say that Jesus Christ was super being natural. And a lot of times you know, I think the word reflects that we are a people who are always looking for an experience. are always looking for some sort of fulfillment. And a lot of times it's coming from a place within our flesh. And I think that God goes out of his way sometimes to put us into the humdrum, the humdrum of life or the humdrum of it to give us an opportunity to practice being faithful, to practice being faithful, you know, what makes what makes a successful marriage, being faithful, every single day, day after day for 1000 years. That's it. That's it, you know, it's not like, Listen, if you start doing these things, you start doing these these things and you start treating each other right in marriage tomorrow, your relationships going to be perfect. That is not the way that it works. It's a body of work. It is a body of work. And it is over an expanse of time of putting in the work and doing the things that God has told us to do that then 10 years later, 15 years later, we stand back ago. Wow, amazing. God is so faithful. And you realize that it's I think of Noah building the ark for 100 years. Hello. You read through that and you just go yeah and no of it. Wait a minute, wait a minute 100 years. I don't even like boats that much. You know what I'm saying? Like, it is like, it wasn't like a like a like a ski boat. There was nothing fun happening as a result of him building that boat. God's promise was going to be fulfilled, but it's going to be judgment, devastation. 100 years, the Bible says no was a preacher of righteousness. People say why are you building that boat you insane person? Well, God's gonna send judgment. You see what I told her Margaret. He's an insane person. And year after year, day after day, and it took all that time. But then when God's word was fulfilled, and they were on the boat, right, as much as that couldn't have been fun. But the alternative, right? To go, Wow, God is faithful. God does honor his word above his name, just like the scripture says. If God says something, he's going to do it, he's going to reform it. He's going to bring it to pass. And oh, let me let me do some announcements. Sorry. I gotta stop the vibe here real quick and do some announcements.
