Amen. Thank you for that. That’s great. That was a wonderful who made that Chloe. Well done Chloe. Thank you Chloe. Amen. Welcome. Thank you for coming this morning. It’s my name is Michael on the five pastors here and so are churches. The honor to be a few today. It’s encouraging to have a beautiful sunday morning to be a few and talk with you, pray with you, fellowship with you, drink some coffee with you have a donut with you, sing with you, pray with you. It’s just fun to be with you as a church. I’m excited for this topic. I went long at the first service and I don’t have a second service coming so I will try to stay in my range of where I’m supposed to be at but I’m excited to look at God’s word together for this passage we’re looking at today. So before we jump into that, can you take a few moments and bow your heads and pray with me. Christians all over the globe are praying for the war in Ukraine. I like to just open our time for a moment of prayer on that. Bow your heads and pray with me Lord, I Lord, it’s war. There’s been conflict there in that part of the country for eight years. There’s an estimated four million people that are displaced Lord. There’s churches and seminaries and gospel believing brothers and sisters are trying to be assault and a light in a very difficult time at the end of a pandemic at the end of a global recession. Global pandemic. Then there’s a war in their backyard. Lord, there’s people displaced homes being destroyed, lives being lost. It is wild Lord, what is happening? Or I ask that you would make a way for the gospel. Make a way for lives to be changed. Make a way for the church to expand in the Ukraine, Ukraine and Russian territories. Lord, all all jurisdictions, all governors, all dictators, all rulers will bow in me to you someday I pray you would compel hearts change hearts capture hearts and and just control that scene in our, in our world. Lord, crisis and conflict is are all around the globe. Lord and we can watch this one in living color Lord as people because of technology. We feel this more than everything else that happens around the globe because we see it. Lord, we see stories of lives that are being transformed and destroyed by war. Help us not to waste our time. The time is dark. The time is for christians to act is now the days are getting short. The time is evil is what the bible talks about. Help us not to waste our days, Help us through. Our days are numbered and counted. Help us to manage our time while our fleeting time help us make this time count word, I pray for my brother Jason’s prayer request that you would you protect and lead him in that Lord protecting lead us all Lord as we as we attempt to be faithful. In uh in lean times, how to be faithful christians now we commit this time to you in jesus name. Amen. I’d like to open up a short story, March 17 of a year ago.

There’s probably two dozen pastors and staff from healthy gospel centered churches in the Lincoln Omaha area that came together for a day long training. I heard saw and experienced things at that conference that have, that have changed my perspective as a pastor this last year and I’ve walked in this sermon in these passages for a year and I’ve rehearsed this sermon unintentionally dozens and dozens and dozens and dozens of time over coffee at dinner tables, over lunch is over people’s lunch hours. I feel like I’ve said this version of what I’m covering today several dozen times. I feel like this has been in my system for a year and I’m excited to be able to share these passages and these principles and these passages and I’m not sure that plagiarizing from the pastor of the conference that I was at, he’s my f…
