Good morning. Good morning. Welcome. My name is mike, it’s an honor to be a few this morning. I’m one of the pastors here. If you join us in person for the first time, welcome. If your name is Annie, you’re homesick. Welcome. Thank you for joining us on the livestream. It’s an honor to be a few this morning. Let’s pray. Let’s jump right in. We have a lot to cover and I’m gonna want to spend my time on the content. So let’s pray by your heads with me. Let’s focus our attention on the word of God and God speaking to our hearts. Thank you Lord for this passage. We’re looking at thank you that the scripture of God, the bible is a, it’s a big boy. He can take care of itself. I pray that the bible would just really uh speak to our hearts. Got every area of our heart that needs instruction correction, encouragement, exhortation. I pray that the word of God would speak to the people of God. I said we’d just be sensitive to the spirit of gods and convicting us of areas instructing us, encouraging us. I just, I just want to yield to you as you communicate to this church through me. We would listen as we should and help me to speak as I should. Give us a holy boldness and obedience and holy boldness and a bang as we listen to the word of God today in jesus name, we pray this. Amen. We’re in section seven and eight in that workbook, chapter nine of the Gospel of luke and paige 505 in the house bible. If you’ll turn with me to luke.

The disciples were given a regional mandate. Later in the Matthew 20 will be given a global mandate to be commissioned globally. He talks about power and authority here. Power is an inherent ability. Authority is the right to exercise it. Power is an inherited ability that they inherited from jesus and authority is the right to exercise it.
