This recording is from Christ Kingdom Church in Waterford Lakes, East Orlando. Visit us online at ChristKingdom.org for our calendar, driving directions, and more audio recordings. So, Hebrews 13 is our passage this morning. Verse 6 verses, it'll be on the screen. I think it's in your built-in handout and I'll read it here. Hebrews 13, 1 through 6. Let brotherly love continue. Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers for thereby some of entertained angels unawares. Remember those who were in prison as though in prison with them, and those who were mistreated since you were also in the body. Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the marriage bed be undefiled for God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterous. Keep your life free from the love of money and be content with what you have. For he has said, I will never leave you nor forsake you. So we can confidently say, the Lord is my helper, I will not fear. What can man do to me? This is God's Word. Thanks, Jerry. Third to fifth graders can be dismissed to their class, as well. Well, we are coming up right on the end of Book of Hebrews, which is kind of fun and exciting. I don't know how many of you have stayed with us from the very beginning or tracked with it. I think everything, all the sermons are pretty much online. So if you missed a week or missed a section, you can go back and catch up. But we only have a few more weeks left, and we are here in the last chapter, in the chapter 13. And just a quick reminder has been doing each week just so it kind of stays ingrained in us. Remembering that the writer of the author of Hebrews is writing to his struggling church. And he's trying to get across a very important message that Jesus is indeed greater. And one of the key things he's greater than is their persecution and their struggles, and the challenges that are facing in life. And we're going to see some specific things about that in the text that we're going to look at here this morning. Ted who preached, last week, Ted's strawberry. I'm going back and listen to his sermon with that. But the last verses of his section he was looking at, I wanted to read to set us up for this week. This is from the end of chapter 12, verses 28 through 29. It says this, therefore, let us be grateful for receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken. And thus, let us offer to God acceptable worship with reverence and awe. For our God is a consuming fire. The writer of Hebrews is beginning his conclusion challenge here. And he wants you to be reminded that since we are receiving unshakable kingdom, which he wanted to great detail in talking more about that what that looks like, and since we are set free to offer acceptable worship and reverence with all of the God, and since our God is a consuming fire, then therefore we as a people, as a community of believers, as a church, should be bearing certain marks. I think he gives, in this little section here, at least three marks that we should be bearing as a church, that should be indicators that we are people and the part of the followers of God with that. And here's the key point, if you're following along this morning with the insert that's in your bulletin, is this following Jesus, Lee's a Mark? This morning we were going to look specifically at three things, a marked community, secondly a marked family, and third a marked hope. And as we unpackage each of those, I'll try to give some specific applications with each one of those as we go along. And I'm just seeing David and Laurie Bailey sitting in the room here. Welcome, guys. If you guys remember years back, they helped start the church so it's good to see you guys. So, man, that's awesome. Make sure you can say hello to them. Well, let's look at the first thing here if you're following along again with your outline, a marked community. Look at verses one through three. Let me read that again. Let brethrenly love continue. Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for thereby some have entertained angels unaware. Remember those who are in prison, as though in prison with them, and those who are mistreated since you also are in the body. The people of God are to be marked or to be in marked community, expressed by love as the first thing we're seeing in this closing comments here from the writer. Why? Because you were made in this image. Why? Because you are to reflect him and reflect his glory and honor. And we're told in verse one that this is to happen inside the community. When it says brotherly love, it's talking about this communal love. It's talking about this love of brother and sister in Christ. Most of you probably are not surprised to hear that is the word Philadelphia, which we know means what? The city of brethrenly love. The city here in America is called that, right? It is those two words, brotherly in love put together here. But if you're not aware going on where it's talked about showing hospitality to strangers, that's one word in the original language. And it basically means stranger love. We're called to brotherly love, but we're also called to stranger love. Those that we don't know. Those that are new to the community. Those are outside of the community that need to come in. Love is to be a mark of that. And not just that, but loving those that are hurting in the community. Verse three goes on and talks about those who are imprisoned. And it's probably not so much talking about those that have just been put in prison for any reason, whatever. But those who specifically are imprisoned for their faith. Probably many of their actual family members are certainly their friends. They have been arrested or have been cast cast out of town or been put out for whatever reason to come alongside and identify with them. Because they're part of the same body. They're part of the family. And if it wasn't even their physical family, certainly the spiritual family. Notice what the marks of the people of God are not. It's not loving those that you know simply. It's not loving those who you like. It's not loving those who will love you back. It's not loving those that are easy to love. It's loving the people of God. It's loving the strangers those outside the community that need to be brought in. And Jesus himself a Matthew 5. If you're in case you're unclear about what kind of love is to mark his church. Jesus said himself, but I say to you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you. So that you may be sons of your father who's in heaven. For he makes his son rise on the evil and I'm a good and sins reign on the just and the unjust. For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Do not even attach collectors to the same. And if you greet only your brothers, what more are you doing than others? Do not even the Gentiles do the same. Jesus call is to be a community that's marked by love and unconditional love, a Christ-like love. You know, one of the things in the early 1st, 2nd century that made the community the follower, the followers of Christ stand out was the example and you can read about it through some of the historians at the time or some of the early Christian fathers that talked about it, is that the Romans were blown away not just because the Christians cared for their own sick, their own needy, their own who were in poverty, but the Christians cared for the Romans who were sick, who were needy, who were in poverty. And they couldn't understand how or why. Because they were the oppressors, they're the ones who had invaded Israel. They're the ones that were using Israel, the people of Israel and their taxes to support the causes of Rome. And here they are for no good logical reason, no good worldly reason, loving their own outcast. And they call it their attention. One of the quotes I wanted to read was from Clement. Here's one of the early church fathers. He's writing about the example that was visible there. Here's what he says. He says in describing those who were followers of Christ, he says he impoverishes himself out of love. So that he is certain he may never overlook a brother in need. Especially if he knows he can bear poverty better than his brother. I read that thought, what? Who invites poverty on himself to take it from their brother, if they're in a better position to bear that poverty than them? It smells like Jesus, folks. Jesus is the only one that left an eternal inheritance of heaven and kingdom of heaven to come to earth. He goes on, he says, he likewise considers the pain of another as his own pain. And if he suffers any hardship because of having given out of his own poverty, he does not complain. That's a transformed community. And that's not just what it could look like. That's what it did look like in first, second century Israel. You know, as long as the church's love for others remains on par with the world's love for others, the church will not make a mark, much less leave one. However, when the church drinks from the rushing river of God's love, she will find not only the depth of God's love for her, but the unending well of love for others. Let me give you some quick thoughts and application just on this point. You know, starting is the most critical step to acting is pretty much. If you're going to make any change, you're like, you got to start. So here's some things I want to encourage you. I want to encourage you to start with your own heart this morning. It's easy to hear something like that and to think about something like that and go, wow, that's interesting. Wow, that was really cool, but they were that way. Let me just encourage you, but you consider starting with your own heart this morning. Just coming right now and going, God, because this is where I'm at. This is where I'm at, this is where I'm at this morning. God, that is not my heart. I'm really, I got my own struggles. Much less do I really want to bear others, peep others on top of my own. I'm not sure I'm there. Come honestly with your heart before the Lord. It's like, God, give me your heart. Give me your perspective. Remind me that I have a father in heaven who's got my burdens. Therefore, advise me to bear others along with it. And then secondly, with those that God's place, just around you. You know, a lot of times we start thinking, well, who can I go find? Don't go looking. Who has God placed right around you right now that's a desperate need of his love? You don't have to look. You just have to think. Other people in your own family that live under the same roof with you that are struggling, that are hurting, that you need to step into, speak, pray for, pray with. Other people that you're already rubbing shoulder with, kids and class. You know exactly who's hurting in your class because you can see it on their face. Or you see it on the playground, kids, right, when it's picking teens time. Or when you go to the lunchroom cafeteria and who's sitting by themselves. Or in your adult social clubs, or in your places of employment, or in your neighborhoods. Who is it right around you right now that God's already placed around you? And what would reaching out to them when the love of Christ looked like? It's not complicated, but it does take a pause. It does take a place to begin. How can you come alongside with them? Can you hold their hand through something? Some people just need a hug. A hug would go a long way for so many. Help carry the burden. Pray for them. I was just reminded just the last couple of weeks there. I've taken a little bit more steps just with people I've been trying to share my faith with. They're not really sure my faith, but offered to pray for them. And I've been blown away at the response. Davis's soccer coach on his team had a pulmonary embolism or something. Not a doctor, but something bad with the lungs and blood clot. And so on, and we offered to come bring my meal to them, which was great. I really appreciated it. And then with my knees knocking, I know in the past, I shouldn't be nervous about this. I was like, so I offered to pray for him. And I'm like, well, he's going to make him feel uncomfortable. And I'm already kind of a little nervous about it. You know, before I changed my mind, I just said, hey, can I pray for you? And he was like, oh, sure. So with him as wife and son, and me and Davis, just been my mom and his children prayed for him. I thought, once I got in the car, I was like, oh, that's over. I kept telling myself, I'm a pastor. He knows I'm a pastor. So he probably wasn't too weirded out by it. But yesterday, a soccer game, when I stood by his mom watching Davis play, she started to talk. And she said, you know, I privately believe. I'm like, privately believe what? You know, that there's a God. And my husband really respects and appreciates you. And he's mentioned that if he wouldn't mind maybe coming to try on your church one Sunday. And she just went on. I even had another Christian parent who said later, I was listening to your conversation. That was wild. All because I just offered to pray for somebody. I just offered to say, hey, I know this king that created you and me and he loves you. Can I just ask him on your behalf? And I say, yeah, I mean, I've hardly ever, ever been told no, I can't pray for somebody. And she went on to explain that her husband doesn't believe in God at all. And they have other members in their family that forced religion down. They're thrown all the time. But that wasn't the posture I was taking and had caught her husband's attention and hers. And by the way, we had a moment of prayer of CNI right down the sideline. The power of just praying for people. Take a step of faith, watch us see what God might do. The people of God should be marked, should be a marked community, set apart, different from the world. They're marked by God getting left for one another because the folks following Jesus leaves a mark. Well, in each community of believers where you see that you will find even a subset of that of a marked family. Community believers have made up of marked families. Verse 4. Verse 4, we encourage, let marriage be held in honor among all and let the marriage bed be undefiled. For God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterous. See, the pagan Roman culture of the first century Christians that they were living in there did not have a high regard from marriage at all. In fact, sexual morality and stuff like that was very prominent in that culture at the time. There's a reason why Jesus had lots of prostitutes to minister to in the course of his ministry because it was there, it was prevalent, it was ingrained in society. So when you think that things are so much worse today than they were back then, in many ways they really weren't. In the cultures that have lived here on this planet here. There are common themes of the simple nature that express themselves unique in different ways in each culture, but it was happening there in first century. So these words, you know, they might sound like, well, this is very radical today. They were radical then for people to hear that. Why? The writer Hebrews knows because you're made in the image of God and marriage specifically is told in Scripture that it is to be reflection of the relationship between God, between Jesus specifically and his church. Look at Ephesians 5. Ephesians 5 verse 313 says this. Therefore, a man shall leave his father and mother and hold fast to his wife and the two shall become one flesh talking about marriage, right? It seems like, well, yes and no. Next verse, this mystery is profound and I'm saying that it refers to Christ in the church. Marriage is not the object and Christ in the church is the reflection just the opposite. Christ in the church is the image and marriage on earth is to reflect that. Your marriage or your future marriage is to be reflection. Tim and Rachel, listen, your marriage is coming Saturday is to be reflection of God's relationship between he and his church. Well, let's talk for a second about honoring marriage and keeping the marriage bed undefiled. Here's one thing I want to encourage you, always be asking the question, how can my marriage and family serve God? That's a very different question than how can my marriage and family serve me? How can it give me peace? How can it give me the look that I want in society? How can it help me be successful or at least look successful? Which are often the questions that are really stinging beneath the surface? It's a very different one than the people of God are called. How can my marriage and family reflect the Lord Jesus Christ and His glory and His honor? Again, I said before starting is the key step with any of this. I want to give you just five quick ideas here. One, understand it. Understand that it's purpose is to reflect and glorify God. As long as you think marriage is purpose or family's purpose is anything different than that, you'll be thrown way off track. Way off track. Lord was using a GPS program just this past week here and she put in a destination for it. She was convinced that she was going to the right spot and she went to the spot and there was no canes furniture. There's not one where it took her. We can be convinced if your coordinates are off, it will take you to completely different destination. Let me tell you, as long as this founding place is off, it's going to take you somewhere different. And you're going to be frustrated with it. You're not going to understand it. You're going to read Ephesians 5 and other pastors in the Bible that talk about marriage and go, I don't get it. But if you start with understanding its purpose, its reflect the nature of Jesus Christ and His church, then Tim, you got a chance to love your wife well when it says, love her as Christ, love the church and lay down His life for her. And then Rachel, you got a chance to consider what it means to follow under His headship as the church follows Jesus Christ. And I'm not doing your wedding ceremony right now, but if I was, we'd be talking this way. I love Rachel and Tim. Be praying for them. Saturday, this weekend. Understand it. Number two, build it. Build it. Build it on biblical truths, like we're just talking about from Ephesians chapter 5, which talks about oneness, talks about commitment, talks about trust and intimacy, and mutual submission. Build your marriage on the biblical truths. Thirdly, defend it. That's a big topic today, isn't it? Defending marriage. Can I gift this kind of exhortation to the church in general, or at least my church here that I get just a pastor? Can we quit thinking and being so caught up that the world has a totally different view than God on marriage? Let me tell you folks, that should not surprise you, okay? Of course they do. Here's the bigger concern. Does the church have the biblical God view of marriage that it's supposed to have? And quit worrying about the world's viewpoint and giving your energy and attention rather than coming and defending and standing firm. And what you know God's tree doesn't equip these shots, that the world is consistent with its viewpoint. And let us start living with salt and light with the viewpoint of the scriptures challenge us to do. Put your energy there. Yes, marriage is a committed, monogamous relationship between a man and a woman for life. That's what the scriptures say, period. Fourthly, work it. It takes work for any marriage, any family to succeed. Don't avoid arguments or conflict, work for healthy ones. If you're avoiding conflict and arguments, you have a problem, okay? If you are content with arguing and having conflicts that are not done in a healthy way, you have a problem. What is the right way? There will be problems and conflicts in marriage but come at it with biblical principles and healthy way with humility. Lauren, I had a big argument this week. You don't need no other details. Most of them I can't remember. But all I know is it was a healthy one. And we even talked about afterwards. You know, it's healthy ones are good because there's honesty, there's transparency. There's a bond that's built that's stronger than before. Unhealthy ones can be just the opposite. But don't avoid it. Build it, work on it. Any Kellogg and I were having breakfast this week here. And when I tell you to pray with and for your marriage, Andy, one of the things he was talking about with his parents is like, they pray every single day. Andy said, I hope it's okay to share this, that Andy said, you know, I'm convinced that the reason why me and my siblings and our kids are doing as well as they are here is that we have parents that are praying for us all the time. Not just for their marriage, but for us. Pray with and for your family. It's powerful. God works. God moves. Go to marriage conferences. Don works for family life. This is just a great conference. Lauren, I've been to three of these. Okay? Great resource. You know, go. And how about going before you before you desperately need it? Go to be proactive to work on your marriage. This is just one opportunity. Celebrate momentous occasions. Your anniversaries, your special times as a family. Do that because those those build not just memories, but they remind you of how important things are. Lauren, are you getting away for our 25th wedding anniversary? Are we spending more money than we should? Yes. But I'm convinced I will not regret it. You can ask me later. Find older couples to mentor you. You find a younger couple to mentor. You always know, right? You learn something better when you're teaching it yourself. Let me tell you, when you start mentoring younger couples, you're refreshed about things. You're reminded about things. You hold yourself accountable. Your spouse accountable. What a powerful opportunity there. Use counselors. And you can use them, by the way, before things get really bad. You ever thought about going to counseling session? This is going for a checkup. Lastly, save it. Save it. Prior to your marriage, save it. I'm talking especially to those who are not married in the room. Prior to your marriage, save it. Reject the notion of a childish marriage relationship. In parents, I want to talk to you right now for just a second. I'm frustrated. I'm frustrated with the temptation. I mean, I've got six kids. I've been walking through this as well too. That we do not step in sometimes to help our kids understand. When you're an elementary school, middle school, high school, you do not need to have a dating marriage, quote, relationship. And so many are. We set our kids up for a frustration and disaster when we don't step in and help coach them in parenting through that. When those little teenage relationships have to become and look just like a marriage relationship, that's a problem. We can speak into that. We can help our kids with that. You know what? They'll thank us later. I honestly believe it. Reject the temptation to explore sex apart from a committed relationship. This is one way we keep the marriage bed undefiled. Lustful thoughts and fantasies. Let me tell you everyone in the room, but especially men, that is ground zero until you come to battle lustful thoughts on the thought level. You will never have success in other areas at all period. So in the scriptures, they take every thought captive and make it obedient to Christ. It means them. It says flee youthful lust. It means that you should do that because it's imperative that you do. And it's not fleeing it just with your body. It's fleeing it and begins here masturbation, pornography, premarital sex or sexual encounters. There's all kinds of philosophies and rationales out there and things that say, well, it's okay as long as you don't go all the way. Let me give you a definition of lust that you're supposed to stay away from that does deadly things to you physically and spiritually. Lust is arousing a God-given desire that cannot be fulfilled in a God-honoring way. Anything that arouses the brains of desire that cannot be fulfilled in a righteous way, God-honoring way, is lust. So do the battle where that is. Reject the notion of living together or having sex prior to marriage. Sex and marriage, like Tim Keller says, is a sacrament that serves as a sign to see what a greater reality. Glad that Kurt is preaching and teaching a youth group about this in the last few weeks you're on it. It's important. Sex represents a physical sign and symbol of what your words and life are to fully back up. That's why it's to happen only in the context of marriage. It represents what your life words and commitment is supposed to be saying all along when those two go together, not apart. You're made in his image and marriage is to be a reflection of God's relationship with his church. The people of God should be in marked community. They should be made up of marked families. And the reason why that any of that can happen is because they're following Jesus. And ultimately what Jesus comes and plants in our hearts through faith is a seed of hope. A marked hope. It's where it begins and stems from. There is no marked family without marked hope first. There is no marked community that's not made up of marked families that haven't first had a marked hope. Look at verses 5-6. It sounds like he's talking about money, but he's not ultimately. To keep your life free from the love of money and be content with what you have or he has said I will never leave you or forsake you. So we can confidently say the Lord is my helper. I will not fear what can man do to me. See again, the first century Christians were facing great opposition and persecution. They were having trouble keeping jobs. They were losing jobs. They were getting kicked out of town or running for their lives. So there goes your job or there goes your land that you got your livelihood from. They were losing their possessions. They were losing their homes. They were having to flee with the entire families. So when this verse comes along here, this is a profound strong word here to say keep your life free from the love of money. But be content. And know the Lord will never leave you or forsake you and know that we can confidently say the Lord is my helper. I will not fear what can man do to me because let me tell you man was doing a lot to them at the time. A lot. But the perspective for the right of Hebrews was giving them was like big deep to their hope that you have. That this life is not the end. This life is not what it's all about. And the one who you service coming back. And one day he's going to take you home. Here's the key point here. They had a hope that transcended earthly security. They had a hope that transcended the need for money. They had a hope that transcended their need for protection from the enemies they could see with their eyes. They had a transcendent hope that was much greater than that because they know there was one that came that's with them. They had to point out their spirit upon them. They had defeated the greatest enemy they had. Synod death. You know, there are things that we can trust in not just money. Right. Reputation. Success. Physical appearance. Comfort. Sex. Control. Intellect. Power. Relationships. I mean, we're honest. We all kind of make our own little cocktail. Right. That's different things that we trust in. Well, as we've been talking on each other points. I want to encourage you to start and to start here. Look deeply into your own heart. Ask yourself, where is your hope? And let me tell you, if you haven't trouble finding it, just ask yourself, okay, where am I stressed out? Where am I freaking out? Where am I feeling incredible fear? Where am I feeling incredible anxiety? And let me tell you, you're pretty close to finding out underneath that, where is your hope? But ask that. Ask hard questions of yourself. Why do I feel that way? Why is that stressing me out? Why do I have fear there? Ask hard questions of a friend or spouse. Somebody that you know knows you and will speak truth. You'll be surprised if you ask and then just listen. Don't go well. Actually, you know, I think you might be saying that. Just don't say anything. Shut up. Okay. Ask a trusted friend. Say, I need some help here. Will you give me some insights and then shut up and listen. And then most importantly, invite and listen to Holy Spirit. When David writes in Psalm 139, he says, search my heart of God. See if there be any wicked way in me. And lead me the way of everlasting. He was inviting God to search his heart. Let me tell you that is a big reason why he was called a man after God's own heart. Because he asked God to search his heart. I was talking to a friend of mine, Brad, dressed in this past week. Because I was reminded of some of the things in his own store. I'd heard him share different things at different times. It's a fellow PC pastor on the West Coast in Homicide Springs. And I heard him share some things. And it really, it pricked me enough to call him and talk to him on the phone this week. And I told him I was preaching on this passage. I said, you know, I've heard of it in a piece of your story. Would you write a little bit of it down for me? Because I'd love to hear about it. So he sent me an email and he wrote it down. And then I asked him later. I called him back like an hour or so later and said, do that's powerful. Do you mind if I share that insurance on Sunday? And he said, sure. This is all about the work of God. So on the backside of your bulletin insert is what he wrote. I just want to read it. Brad writes, I met Jesus when he graciously placed me in circumstances and through counseling that revealed to me that all my hard work of managing not only didn't work, but it was destroying me and those I claimed love around me. Simply, I've met Jesus in the deeper ways not because my marriage was great, but because it was not. It is all related more to me, more to Christ shaping problems three, five, three, six deeply into my life. This is the crazy part for me. I know it's hard to accept, but the men and I ask in any given situation, what would a good husband do or what would a good father do? I'm damned. Because no matter what the circumstance is, I've made it all about me being a good dad, a good husband or a good pastor. The moment I ask the question, I can't love my kids, why for flock? Because I'm worried about me and if I'm doing it right, I'm at my core a narcissist. In regards to Hebrews 13, I'm talking about this very specific passage here today, whether it is marriage, hospitality, caring for prisoners, love of money, the focus is outward and not inward. Let readily love continue. The grace of the ability to live radical lives of hospitality and in marriage for me was found in verse six. It was my hope. He will never leave me or forsake me. He is my helper and the truth that changed my life, I will not fear what man can do to me. Fear no longer became the driving force of my marriage or church. Love did. Outward facing, love's Christ's perfect love cast out my fear. Fear, what if I'm a bad husband, a bad pastor, a bad dad? What if I over-discipline? What if I under-discipline my kid? I've made my whole life about me. My incessant need to always get it right is just narcissism. We turn the gospel, grace, paradigm into narcissism. I have to get grace right. If I get grace right now, I'll be okay. Grace instead of leading me to Jesus just let me write that to me. Fear and narcissism go hand in hand. Love and freedom do as well. I think sometimes you miss the point when we pray for marriage to be fixed and healed. We've made marriage especially as an institution, the idol. The goal is not the marriage. The goal is the person. For me, God chose to make my marriage better. I'm grateful that He has loved me more than my marriage. I'm sorry, God chose not to make my marriage better. I'm grateful that He has loved me more than my marriage. All I have is Him. In the long run, yes, I'm being changed. My wife is being changed. My kids have been radically changed. My marriage is better not because I pray with my wife or read the Bible with my wife. My marriage is better despite the brokenness because my wife and I clean to Jesus like we never have in all our lives because He's all we got. Our unity is becoming more and more the finished work of Christ. We've somehow defined a good marriage and good parenting is getting to the point that we need to cross a Christ less and less. That's so powerful, partly to me, is because I resonate with so much of that. And I wonder if some of you might as well too. Brad's story shares how deep the battle for hope goes and the depths of our heart. I want to challenge you to ask some of these questions here this week. Where is your hope? And let me tell you that bad marriage, that struggle in parenting, that bad job situation, that bad broken relationship with that relative, that physical illness or struggle, God's using to invite you to come and trust Him in deeper ways and to find that He is all that you need. People in the first century needed to hear this stuff. You and I need to hear this stuff. Let's pray. God, I just ask that you would give us the hope and understanding here this morning just how love we are and just how powerful you are and the work that you've done in our lives. God, that even in the midst of brokenness and even in the midst of stories that are shattered in many ways here, that there is, there you are. And you invite us to come and draw near to you and you invite us to decrease so that you might increase. And there we find healing and there we find true hope. And there we find the power to see our hearts and lives changed. So God, would you continue to do that in my friend Brad's life? Would you do that in my life? Would you do that in this church's life? And as a result, would you do that in this community? For your glory, for your honor. And I pray this in Jesus' name. Amen.
