Welcome to this message from the teaching Ministry of University Presbyterian Church in Orlando, Florida under the leadership of Senior Pastor Mike Osborne. Good morning. Please turn with me and your Bibles to Luke 24. We're going to look at verses 13 through 32. It's on page 1047 if you're using the Bibles that we provide under the chairs. Luke 24, 13 through 32. Here now God's holy and inspired word. Now that same day two of them were going to a village called Emmaus about seven miles from Jerusalem. They were talking with each other about everything that had happened. As they talked and discussed these things with each other, Jesus himself came up and walked along with them, but they were kept from recognizing him. He asked them, what are you discussing together as you walk along? They stood still their faces downcast. One of them named Cleopas asked him, are you only a visitor to Jerusalem and do not know the things that have happened there in these days? What things he asked? About Jesus of Nazareth, they replied. He was a prophet, powerful in word indeed before God and all the people. The chief priests and our elders, the chief priests and our rulers, handed him over to be sentenced to death and they crucified him. But we had hoped that he was the one who was going to redeem Israel. And what is more, it is the third day since all this took place. In addition, some of our women amazed us. They went to the tomb early this morning but didn't find his body. They came and told us they had seen a vision of angels who said he was alive. Then some of our companions went to the tomb and found it just as the women had said but him they did not see. He said to them, how foolish you are and how slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken. Did not the Christ have to suffer these things and then enter his glory? And beginning with Moses and all the prophets, he explained to them what was said in all the scriptures concerning himself. As they approached the village to which they were going, Jesus acted as if he were going farther but they urged him strongly. Stay with us for it is nearly evening the day is almost over. So he went in to stay with them. When he was at the table with them, he took bread, gave thanks, broke it and began to give it to them. Their eyes were opened and they recognized him and he disappeared from their sight. They asked each other, we're not our hearts burning within us. While he talked with us on the road and opened the scriptures to us, let's pray. Father, would you send us your spirit now to show us yourself, show us your son? Would you use this time to help us to see what you might do with us? How you might work through us. We pray that you would use this time to continue to make us into disciples and prepare us to go make disciples that we would run with the gospel to our neighbors and to the nations. It is in Jesus' name for his sake that we pray. Amen. Well, happy Thanksgiving. Hope everybody had a nice Thanksgiving, a good opportunity to hang out with family and friends and eat a bunch of food. I had an interesting Thanksgiving, had a little visit to the ER. My sweet little two-year-old daughter had her finger slammed in a door by my sweet little three-year-old son. I'm sure it was an accident, but nonetheless, the door pinched her finger to the point where there was a big gash on the outside of her pinky finger and even a little cut on the inside. Let me tell you, one of my big weaknesses, and I mean big, is the sight of blood. As soon as my little daughter is bleeding, I'm trying to hold her hand and myself at the same time, and it wasn't working out real well. Eventually, I'm laying on the floor going, is she okay? Unfortunately, my father-in-law swoops in, as the rescuer, and he's staying calm and cool, and he's like, we'll wrap this up here, we'll push right here, add a little pressure, we'll tape it to the other finger, no problem done deal. I was like, that was amazing, and I'm going to throw up. But anyway, it was like this crazy situation and I was totally incapacitated, so if you're ever bleeding and you need my help, I'm sorry. I'm not going to be there for you, I'll be lying down crying. But my father-in-law just knew what to do, and I'm so thankful for that. When people are well prepared to fulfill their purpose in the moment or in their life, amazing things happen. When people are well prepared to fulfill their purpose, amazing things happen. This morning we're talking about what I'm calling the 2020 Vision. It has to do with some things that the elders, the session of this church, has been thinking about and getting excited about for a year. It's called the 2020 Vision because, number one, we really think that if we shift in how we do church, which I'll explain, we think we're going to start to see God in ways maybe more clearly than we have before. We might see more of His power, we might see more of His grace, more of His mercy, more of His glory, might have more of a 2020 vision of who God is and what He's capable of. It's also called the 2020 Vision because if we do this, it's going to take some time. This type of shift that we're talking about today cannot be done in a year or two years or three years. And so, how about we look forward to maybe a seven-year transition where we work piece by piece, step by step to make this shift. On January 1st, 2013, we'll be seven years away from January 1st, 2020. And that's probably a good amount of time to expect it to take to transition. So, let me give you a little bit of, I want to try to give you a picture of what this looks like and where, how the session is landed on this. The session about a year ago started having a lot of really great discussions on who we are, where we are, as a church, where we're located, what type of things this affords us as far as opportunities. We started thinking about our mission and how can we really have a great mission statement which really encapsulates what we're trying to do. We had several meetings over several months where we would come together and we talk about different mission statements. Maybe we should say this, maybe we should say that. How about it says this and every time we're like, eh, let's do it again next month. And it just kept going and going and going and then somebody. And I don't remember who it is, made this statement. Maybe we ought to just go with what Jesus said. Is one of those moments where we're like, oh, well, yeah. So, we thought about the great commission. We thought about the mission of the church is as we've written on the back wall is to go and make disciples of all nations baptizing them in the name of the father and of the son and of the Holy Spirit and teaching them to obey everything that Jesus has commanded us and he's going to be with us always surely for the very end of the age and we're thinking, well, that's it. And so some of you are aware that several months ago we did change our mission statement, the mission statement of our church is go and make disciples of all nations. And so as a session we've been thinking over the past year, how do we make disciples? What is our process for making disciples? Is it the right way? Is it is it a way that needs to be updated or changed? Whatever we've had all these wonderful discussions, it's been really, really an amazing time and all of us have been very thankful to have been a part of it. So I want to give you a picture. I want to share with you the vision that we have been having seen take place right in front of us. And it starts with the fact that we're here. We live in Orlando. We're in the east side of Orlando. And what that means when we thought about it is number one, as far as where we are, the place in which God has put us, we have an extremely high potential for making disciples. The disciple making potential right here where we're at is very high. Let me explain. Number one, we know that right down the street is the University of Central Florida. And it has become the largest university in the country. Tens of thousands of people from all over the country come here, tens of and several thousand people come from all over the world. Now this is not news to us. It's not like last summer we were like, hey, there's a big college there. Now we're university Presbyterian Church because the vision has always been that we would have a very large and lasting impact on UCF. And part of our desire to shift in how we do things or our feeling led in that way is we're just realizing that in the last 21 years that UPC has been here, UCF has been growing to this to be the largest school in the country. If that was it, if it was us, some cows and UCF, that would be enough to say we've got in a tremendous potential for making disciples. That's not all. We've also only seven miles away from reform theological seminary or we call that for short RTS. It's a great seminary. And we've always had interns. I used to be an intern here when I was in seminary. We have some now. And we hopefully always will. And if you think about it, what an amazing opportunity to continue to bring guys in and give them an opportunity to learn how to do ministry, especially how to do ministry in this shift. If we do this, we have the potential of becoming really like a church that's sort of a pastor making machine. I mean, these guys can come, we can develop a rigorous training system so that these guys are ready to go to other places in the country and other places in the world to pass to churches, plant churches, revitalize churches. It's unbelievable to unbelievable the potential we have for a kingdom impact with taking advantage of the fact that we're right down the road from a seminary. Plus they work pretty cheap. But anyway, the bigger thing is the fact that we can raise them up and send them out. Also, we're only 18 miles away from an international airport. That's pretty huge for a church that wants to make disciples of all nations. Most churches in our country probably have to drive several hours to get on a plane and fly across the world. We drive several minutes. That's big. Orlando is home to several pair church organizations. Think about this. All these organizations exist to assist the church in the grand mission to make disciples of all nations. Campus crusade for Christ, pioneers, Wycliffe Bible translators, man in the mirror, all of these different ministries that are designed to help churches make disciples are right here. Many of our people work for these organizations. And so while a lot of churches may wanting to be partnering with these organizations would have to fly across the country. Again, we just drive down the street. It's unbelievable. It's amazing the partnerships that we can have in making disciples. Orlando is home to the world's largest theme park. Did you know that? That's true. Yeah, the Disney world and these theme parks, the world's largest theme park system in the world. 50 million people. Come to our little city every year to see a mouse. Think about this. Think about the potential of having outreach opportunities, evangelistic opportunities there so that when these 50 million people come to see the magic kingdom, they have an encounter with somebody from the true kingdom of God. Huge potential. Also, I used to think and I think a lot of us think sometimes that Orlando is a pretty church area as we see a lot of churches. There's all these pair church ministries around. So there's probably a lot of people going to church on Sunday mornings. That's actually not the case. Studies show that Orlando is 10% below the national average for religious affiliation. When people in our city check a box as to whether or not they have a religious affiliation, 10% less than the national average say that they do. And the Florida Church Planning Network, which is an organization that we've been working with to see churches planted, wants to see a lot of churches planted right around our area north Florida, central Florida, southwest Florida because they've discovered that around 75 to 80% of the people in this area do not attend church. Which means we have no idea what kind of relationship they have with Jesus if any at all. So we see that and we're like, wow. For a church that wants to make disciples, being surrounded by people who are not disciples is a pretty good thing, right? It's a sad thing in one sense, but it's a very exciting thing in the other because our potential is for making many, many disciples for making a huge contribution to the completion of the great commission through the roof. Well, that's about the place. What about the people? What type of people has God made us over 21 years? And this, what I'm going to mention now, these are some of the things that we think about when we think about how God has blessed our church and shaped our church. So all of these things are a result of sheer grace. It's God's doing, but these things play a big role in thinking about not only the potential of the place we're in, but the potential of the type of people God has made us to be. God has made this church a Christ-centered church. Jesus is the king of kings, the Lord of lords. He is the true one and only savior of the world, all authority belongs to him. We believe that. We worship him. We follow him. He says, jump. We say, how high he is king. We believe that. God has made this a gospel-centered church. We preach the gospel all the time. We tell each other to preach it to each other because it's so important that we understand and believe and apply the gospel. We believe it's relevant to all areas of our life that it changes everything. God has made us a spirit-filled church. We don't believe or teach that if you want to do the things that God is empowering you to do or telling you to do that, you just kind of pull yourself up by your bootstraps and try hard. We don't believe that. We believe that God is gracious to give us his Holy Spirit to dwell inside of us, to give us power to do the things that he calls us to do. He's made us a kingdom-minded church. He's made us a church that would pray for other churches in our city and people groups all over the world. God has made us and kept us a biblically sound church. We believe the Bible. We believe it is the true and infallible and inherent and authoritative word of God. And we're not veering from that. God has kept us a theologically sound church. We have a good solid orthodox, robust, performed theology and it changes people's lives. And God has given us Presbyterian church governance which we believe adds to our potential for making disciples because there's no one person in charge of this church except for Jesus Christ and a group of elders and groups of deacons and groups of people work together to feel where the spirit is. And we think that is extremely powerful. And so here we are in this place which in and of itself is a very high potential place for making disciples and who we are by God is a people who appears to be and really is a very high potential people for making disciples. And when we think about these things we think this is amazing. This is amazing. So the next question is, we're in the right place. God has made us a high potential people. What about our philosophy? Our philosophy of ministry. That's something we've been talking about now. You've seen the word attraction. We've talked about this in emails. We've talked about this at some of the congregational meetings. This has been something that's floating around a little bit, quite a bit. We've been trying to communicate that we've been feeling a need for a shift. And so what we need to understand is that we do believe that attraction ministry is good and it's right and it's biblical and was very effective. The potential in attractive ministry we believe has been high in the past because a lot of the ways that this church grew to be a good sized church was doing these things. So when we talk about what I'd say next, I'm not saying anything negative about what we've been doing. We're excited about and we celebrate what God has done in this church. But we feel like there may be a shift that would help us help increase our disciple making potential. That's the question that we've been wrestling with. What would a change, would a different philosophy of ministry increase our disciple making potential? High potential place, high potential people, do we have the highest potential philosophy of ministry? And the more we thought about it, the more we realized the answer to the question, would a different philosophy of ministry increase our disciple making potential was yes. We think we believe that shifting to a different philosophy over several years, a different way of doing church could mean a much greater contribution to the completion of the great commission. So here's where we're going to talk about this briefly. The difference between attraction and missional and how that plays in. And we've talked about attraction all before, we're talking about missional. I like to call it commissional because really if we make the shift it's because we want to be focused on the great commission. We want to be well prepared to fulfill our purpose to make disciples of all nations. I keep pointing because it's written back there in case some of you don't know that. That might have been awkward. Why is it keep pointing back there? But that's the point of that. If we shift to be a commissional church, it's all about how can we as a church be continued to be made into disciples so that we can make disciples of all nations? And that's the question when you're looking at what is the philosophy of ministry and how does it work? The real question you're asking is, well how do you make disciples? So one of the things that we feel very strongly about is the basic process of making disciples. So this would be, we believe this would be in any church. There's a simple list of things that would take place. For example, how is a disciple made? Well number one someone has to hear and believe the gospel. That's pretty important. And then number two, the great commission talks about baptizing people and then teaching them to obey. And we believe that there's a call to obedience in obeying Jesus morally. And then number two, we believe we're a disciple would be somebody who's being taught to obey Jesus missionally. And so if it's about believing and obeying, believing and obeying, what does obeying look like? What does obedience look like? And we would say there's three fundamental things that people who are following Christ would be involved in. Number one discipleship. We might call that gospel transformation, the process by which we're continually to continually learning through worship, through Bible study, through small groups, through all sorts of things that we're doing. We're continually learning and becoming more like Christ morally. But then also there's two versions of how we need to become more like Christ missionally as well. So in addition to discipleship and becoming more Christ like, we also believe that people who are following Christ need to be involved in evangelism or gospel proclamation. There's a clear call in scripture, we believe for people to be making sure that everybody's hearing this amazing news. And then a third piece would be outreach, which we would maybe call gospel demonstration outreach is how we serve people meeting people's needs, helping the homeless, helping the hungry, helping people who don't have jobs get jobs, all the different things that help improve people's quality of life, serving, impacting people and impacting communities. So if we believe that, then we have to kind of ask ourselves, well, how do these things take place at our church? And I'll explain how they generally happen at an attraction church, because for the most part that's how we operate. And here's how it looks. In an attraction church, discipleship generally takes place through church events and programs. The worship service, life groups is a program, the youth ministry is a program, the joy group is a program, the children's ministry is a program, the men's ministry is a program, the women's ministry is a program. And so a lot of the ways that we attempt to make disciples is through events and programs. And that's great. Evangelism also tends to be done through church events and programs. For example, one of the ways you might do evangelism is by inviting one of your lost neighbors or friends, unsafe friends or neighbors or co-workers here to the church to hear the gospel. We have had lots of people come and visit our church, hear the gospel and put their faith in Christ. And outreach tends to also happens primarily through church events and programs. We put together ministries, we put together programs, the man of ministry, the life care ministry, griefs here, all of these things that we're putting together in programming in order to try to meet needs in our community. And that's great, our Saturdays of service. Another program, another event through which we're trying to do outreach in our city. So this is great and this has been effective. It will be effective if we keep going. The question is, if we take on the arduous task of shifting to a different philosophy ministry, might we be able to do more of this stuff? Take a look at this. If we were to shift to what's called a mission or a commissional model, things change quite a bit. Primarily in where evangelism and outreach take place. Notice that discipleship will still primarily happen through church events and programs. The worship service being about discipleship, our life groups, about becoming more like Christ, our different ministries and programs, really take on a real discipleship feel where everybody is learning how to grow and become more Christ-like. The big difference is that evangelism and outreach would no longer take place primarily through church events and programs but instead through what we might call individual pursuits. This is big. This means that we would spend a lot of time, a lot of effort, a lot of money, equipping people to be able to do evangelism, to be able to share the gospel with their unsaved neighbors, co-workers, friends. At the same time we would also spend a considerable amount of time really working with everyone to help them see how they're uniquely gifted and wired to serve people and meet their needs, maybe in their neighborhood, maybe on the other side of the city, maybe somewhere around the world. But evangelism would happen primarily through equipped people going out and sharing the gospel out there. And outreach would happen primarily through people who have been equipped to know how they're uniquely gifted and wired to serve and meet a need right in their community or somewhere in our city, or maybe around the world. That's a pretty big difference. Now, let me show you another example here. What we feel like, the only thing about attraction ministry that makes this move a better choice is that there seem to be some limitations that come with attraction ministry. And if we shift to a commissional model, those limitations are gone. They're taken away. Let me explain. Like, for example, discipleship is generally can be a little limited by what we might call secret sensitivity. Okay, think about this. If in a church service, the goal is both discipleship and evangelism. Sometimes these things can come into tension a little bit because the pastor and the worship director are constantly trying to do two things. One, create a really good environment for good solid biblical worship and spirit and truth and two, do it in a way that's cool or hip or relevant or will make people want to come back whether or not they believe what we said. And it creates attention in a commissional church. Discipleship is done here. Evangelism is evangelism is done there for the most part, which sets the worship leader and the pastor's free to really go after discipleship and really look at how the scriptures scriptures show us Jesus and help us to transform to be like him. Because we know that we're not doing evangelism here. We're doing discipleship here now. That doesn't mean that we suddenly don't we aren't sensitive to the fact that we may have guests or non-believers with us. Of course, we want to be careful. Paul is very clear that he says anytime you're gathering, you want to be sensitive to the fact that non-believers or people who don't know what's what understand everything might be there. We always do that, but we'd be liberated from that need to be sort of cool and attractive. And instead we can focus really on what is it, what do we need to do to really worship and be transformed by God in the gospel evangelism normally seems to be a little limited by the church schedule. If we're really doing most of our evangelism by inviting people to church, we have 52 sermons a year. And then there's other events maybe another 50 things or maybe another 100 things. So 100 to 150 gospel presentations a year. That's a lot. That's awesome. God has used that. It's been on a commissional model. If you think about this, if the majority of us get to the point where we're able to share the gospel with people and we're individually pursuing people or in a small group, pursuing a small group or things like that. If we're out there pursuing, think about this. If 500 people were trained and got to the point where they were sharing the gospel about six times a year, that's 3000 gospel presentations a year. 3,000 gospel presentations a year in this city or around the world. I mean, can you imagine what God might do if this church is involved in sharing the gospel 3,000 times a year. Also, with outreach, outreach tends to be limited to by the fact that normally we do four series of service a year. We do other things throughout the year, but there's still a limited number. Imagine if 500 people over the next several years became aware of how they're uniquely gifted to meet a unique need in their neighborhood or somewhere in this city or maybe around the world. Imagine if 500 people got to the point where they were using their gifts to serve somebody in this city on average of once a month. 500 times 12 is 6,000 acts of love and mercy. Can you imagine what God would do through 6,000 acts of love and mercy and sacrificial living? Can you imagine what God might do in this city through 3000 or more gospel presentations every year. We believe that making this shift will take limits off and allow us to make a greater contribution to the completion of the great commission. And this is where Luke 24 comes in. This is why I wanted to look at this this morning. I think this is such an amazing passage because Jesus, there's this description of Jesus in this passage. I think it's just phenomenal. It's so telling. And let me just recap the story. Remember that Jesus has risen from the grave in this chapter. He's risen from the grave and he's not at the grave when they go to see him. He's not there. And that's what we celebrate every Easter, right? He's not here. He is risen. And it's so amazing. But think about this. Where was he? He was out meeting people where they're at on the road, teaching them about how glorious he truly is. He doesn't even let him know that it's him and he goes up and he starts talking to these guys and what are you guys talking about? We're talking about Jesus. We thought he was going to redeem Israel, but he died and spend three days and they're all upset and he says, you guys, you guys, you guys. Don't you get it? He says, he says to these guys that Christ had to suffer. Don't you know that Christ had to suffer and enter into his glory? And then he does this amazing thing where he basically takes the rest of those seven miles and walks them through the Old Testament and shows how everything points to him. So much so that when they get to their town in May, and they're sitting at dinner, Jesus breaks bread, they realize it's him and they disappear. That's so awesome. But they turn each other and they say, we're not our hearts burning within us as he talked to us on the road and opened to us the scriptures. He wasn't there because he was out there and the description that they give of Jesus, he doesn't reject it. This is what they say. Jesus was a prophet, powerful in word indeed before God and all the people and Jesus must have heard that and go, yeah, that's it because he didn't correct him. And if we know that being a disciple is really to become more like Christ and we're seeing that it's not only a moral thing, not just about being a good person, but also being on mission and being like him in the way that we can all become more powerful in word, more powerful indeed, that even us, any of us, all of us, by the power of the Holy Spirit, we're dealing with the Holy Spirit of God. He can do anything. He can take any and all of us and make us far more powerful in word, really good at lovingly, sweetly, gently teaching people the glory of Jesus Christ. He can make all of us more powerful indeed, lovingly showing us how we're exactly what someone needs right nearby. And so that's the heart behind this that we would all strive by the power of the Holy Spirit to become more and more Christ-like, not only morally but missionally and that we become a people who are powerful in word, powerful indeed. Think about this. These are the two questions that keep bouncing around in my head. How many more people in East Orlando and around the world might hear the gospel if every member of UPC is equipped to share it? Think about that. Again, thousands more gospel presentations. How many people might hear, how many people might become a disciple of Christ? Also, how many more people in East Orlando and around the world might have their needs met if every UPC member is well equipped to serve people out of their own unique gifting? It really boils down to one question. How many more disciples can we make if we become a commissional church by the year 2020? I want to just imagine something with me. I want us to imagine a time in the future where something that happens regularly here is a whole row of people ready to be baptized. Can you see that? Can you see 25, 30 people standing here ready to take their baptism vows, adults, families, all ready saying, you came and got us and now we're here and now we want to be baptized into the church. Can you see that? Can you see them standing there waiting? Can you imagine the testimonies of people from the community coming in to stand here and just thank you for how you've changed their lives, how you did it, how individuals came and met their needs in ways they never thought possible. Can you imagine hearing those stories? Can you imagine if we go through something this tough, it would be a hard task to make this shift. I know it. What's so beautiful is that when people go through something together that's really hard, it bonds them in ways they never thought possible. Can you imagine how much more we'll care about each other? Can you imagine how much better we'll be able to serve each other in addition to the people out there? Can you imagine what's going to take? Let's say there's a lot of us who feel really good and we're scared out of our minds, okay, myself included, not as scared as blood but I'm still really scared. But imagine a lot of us feeling like, I want to do this, I don't know how it's possible to happen but I want to do this, I want to be a person, I want us to be a church who's powerful in word and powerful indeed, here's what it's going to take. Number one, it's going to take that we continually cultivate a strong desire to make a great contribution to the completion of the great commission. It's going to take that we continue to desire to fulfill our purpose here to make disciples. Number two, it's going to take faith. If we attempt this we would be attempting something that cannot be done under human power. We would have to believe that God is going to be in this, through this, empowering this, otherwise we'll be fools to attempt it. We're going to have to see the vision before us and wait patiently and faithfully while God works on us and makes this shift here in our church. It's going to take a lot of faith, it's going to take training. We're going to have to really find ways to get everybody trained up to be more powerful in word and more powerful indeed. Those of you that are already good at evangelism are going to be teaching people, those of you who have never done before, you're going to be learning. I mean, it's just going to be this great thing where we all work together and help each other become powerful in word and deed. And it's like in Acts 2 and it talks about how they devoted themselves to the apostles teaching and to the breaking of bread and to the fellowship and the prayers, they devoted themselves to being taught to being trained in the end of that verse. It's so beautiful talks about how the Lord added to their number daily. It's going to take training and it's going to take time. We can't make this shift in a couple of years. It's not going to happen. We're going to have to be in this for the long haul. Seven years is probably a good goal. Can you see it? Can you see yourself powerful in word and deed? And you know it only happened because the Holy Spirit of God is real and he's done it inside you. Can you see that? Can you see a church, a commissional church in the year 20, 20 where hundreds of us are always being transformed by the gospel amazed at what Christ is continually doing in our hearts and minds and lives. Can you see where a church where hundreds of us proclaim the gospel with regular with regularity on a regular basis. And thousands of gospel presentations are taking place in this city or around the world from people from this church. Can you see it? A church where hundreds of people are demonstrating the power of God, the love of God, the love of God through acts of love and mercy and sacrifice and a city. So impressed that if there was ever a wind, ever an idea that we might close our doors, they begin to weep. Can you see that? Can you see you being one of hundreds of people who are multiplying the number of disciples in East Orlando and around the world? Can you see that? I can see that. I can see it. I think you can too. It's so exciting. So with that in mind, let's pray.
What if we do this? What if where you've led the session is the right way to go and you are going to do this? What if many of us who don't feel very powerful in word or powerful indeed? What if we become more like Christ? What might you do? Can you give us all the vision? Can you help us all get excited about hundreds of baptisms? Thousands of stories of people's lives being affected. And then if you've given us this vision, would you just give us the wherewithal and the determination and the faith to do it? Only you can do this. And so we lift this all up to you. We laid out your feet, Lord Jesus, asking that if this is your will that you make it happen, if it's not, then you release us from it. But we trust you and you are the king. So we want to bow before you. You've called us to make disciples. If this is the best way for us to do it in the future, give us your power. We pray that in your name, Jesus and for your sake and for the sake of the nations. Amen. We at University Presbyterian Church thank you for listening to this message.
