made it to the final chapter
in Hebrews. It's always neat to get to the
conclusion of a book study. You know, some books that you
do, you got Philippians, four chapters, Colossians, I think
four or five chapters. And we've done books like that.
And right now we're in Proverbs chapter, what, 21. And sometimes,
you know, Hebrews 13, that's quite an accomplishment by God's
grace to get to this point. Now, what Paul has given us here
is an epistle. And so it's a letter. that he
wrote and you know in our day you almost gotta explain what
a letter is you know it's like an email but you write it with
your hand you got a pen I've written letters, but I don't
think I've ever written a letter as long as Hebrews 1-13 is. But Paul doesn't think it's that
long. He says in verse 22, I've written a letter unto you in
few words. So I guess as he looks at this,
it's not that much to him. Maybe he's comparing it to some
of his preaching. Maybe if he was preaching he'd
give them a lot more information. But as you look at this as a
letter, if you were back in that day, you're writing a letter,
say you're away from your kids, and you've been telling them
all the things that are going on, and kind of updating them
on those things, you come to the conclusion of your letter,
And it's like your final thoughts, they might kind of be disjointed
thoughts, you know, take care of this, take care of this, you
know, just those last ideas that you want your child to remember
in your absence. And so, as Paul comes to the
end of the letter now, really that's kind of the idea of what
it is. It's just kind of some final
thoughts, things that he really wants them to consider. as he
gets ready to sign off on this letter. So let's pray, ask the
Spirit of God to help us as we look at Paul's final thoughts tonight. Father, we thank you for the
grace that you give. Thank you again for the season of prayer
that we just have come from, Lord, and the prayer letter that
we've read. And Father, we just are grateful
tonight for our church. But Father, we ask that as we
come to the word of God in this time, as we look at Hebrews chapter
13, Father, we ask that the spirit of God would speak to us tonight
through the teaching of Paul. And Father, you encourage us
in our walk with you. These are just short statements, short
ideas, just to protect us and to guide us. And Father, we gotta
deal with some sensitive truth tonight, but it's the truth of
the word of God. And I pray the spirit of God would give us grace
as we go through these things and consider these things. And
Lord God, certainly we need the protection of God in all of these
areas. Lord, these are areas of dealing
against sin and standing for God and fighting for God. And
so to that end, I pray that you'd help us. Father, would you encourage
the hearts of our church family? Father, we want to be strong
in the Lord and the power of His might. Father, we want individuals
in our church that are just faithful to God, obedient to God, consistent
with God, thinking as we even talked about this past Sunday,
having the mind of Christ united in the faith, standing together
for the gospel. And so, Lord God, would you do
that in our hearts as a church tonight? And Father, as I speak,
I can't speak without your enablement, but I pray the Spirit of God
would give me liberty tonight. I pray, Father, that you'd give me a
tender heart to our congregation. God, give me grace to proclaim
the truth of the Word of God in love. I pray, Father, knowing
that I can't speak as I ought to speak without your enablement.
And so I ask for that liberty of the Spirit of God as well,
Father, that the truth of the Word of God would Go unhindered to
our hearts tonight. My heart as well. It's in Christ
name. We pray amen Amen. Alright, so we've got the final
thoughts of the Apostle Paul. So we're gonna start with tonight
be loving. All right be loving It says in verse 1 let brotherly
love be As Paul comes to them, he's not saying start loving
one another, they haven't stopped loving one another, he's just
encouraging them to continue in that. Now our family has been reading
through 1 John in our morning devotional time. And as we've read that, it's
been interesting to consider that John deals with identifying
marks of somebody that is a true believer. Somebody that has the
spirit of God. Somebody that loves righteousness.
Somebody that hates wickedness. And then this identifying mark
of somebody that loves the brother. Supernatural. If any man be in
Christ, he's a new creature. Old things are passed away. This
is something God did. God put this love for the brother
into your life. But as with those other things,
loving righteousness, hating ungodliness, and knowing the
presence of the Holy Spirit, these are truths that we ought
to cultivate in our life as well, that we ought to grow in as we
grow in our walk with God. So that's what Paul's dealing
with. He's saying, let that brotherly love continue, and he's going
to give a couple specific ways to demonstrate that love for
your brothers. So he starts with hospitality. Show hospitality to your brothers. Just this past week, you probably
are unaware of this, but the Scottish Open took place in North
Berwick, just about 30 minutes from here, a big golf tournament.
And Steve Anderson, apparently he's been ill. He says he was
watching some of that and just kind of imagining us being out
there you know and being able to go to that because we could
have potentially gone to it. But imagine that we had a ticket
to that if on that ticket it was a hospitality ticket that
would be nice because that would mean you get to go to a hospitality
event. tent and maybe they provide food or they provide drink or
if it's hot, maybe a cooling station or something like that.
They're basically going to care for you. Back in Paul's day,
hospitality was not just food and drink. A lot of times it
was overnight lodging and somebody is passing by, they're a stranger,
and you're going to put them up in your home. So it says in
verse 2, Be not forgetful to entertain strangers. You know, Paul had been the recipient
of this, we know, as he traveled. He was a missionary and, you
know, he would go to different places. He didn't have somebody
to stay and sometimes somebody from the congregation would invite
Paul to come to their house and to stay with them. We see that
in the Macedonian call that Paul received. They get there, they
preach, and Lydia invites them over to her house in Acts 16,
verse 14. It says, a certain woman named
Lydia, a seller of purple of the city of Thyatira, which worshiped
God, heard us, whose heart the Lord opened, and she attended
unto the things which were spoken of Paul. And when she was baptized
in her household, she besought us saying, if you have judged
me to be faithful to the Lord, come into my house and abide
there. And she constrained us. And she
just had a deep desire. She said, hey, you've met my
spiritual needs. I'd like to meet your physical
needs. She was a wealthy woman, a seller of purple, apparently
had a large house, probably servants and other things and said, I've
got I've got spare rooms and you are welcome to stay with
me. Our family, obviously we're in
we're in missions and traveling in the United States as we're
raising support or as we've gone back on furlough. It's been our
privilege many times to come into somebody's house. We don't
know these people from anybody, you know, and the world can't
maybe understand this idea, but be able to stay with them and
just feel like you're with family. And like you've known him a long
time, our family, on the other hand, over here, and as a youth
pastor, we would open our house to missionaries or to ministers
that would come in and stay with us. That's a blessing. You know,
it's a great thing. And as a church, maybe at some
point God will give us the opportunity to host a mission team and maybe
several members of our church could take some of the team and
have them stay at their house. That's what Paul's speaking about.
He's saying, be not forgetful to do that ministry. And he says,
you might get an unexpected blessing. It says, for thereby some have
entertained angels. Now, sometimes angels would appear
as men, the Bible speaks about that, and I think that's what
Paul is referring to. He's looking back to that story of Abraham
and Lot. Abraham provided food for the
angels to eat as they came by, and Lot provided lodging for
them as they came into the city of Sodom and Gomorrah. Now as
you think about that, what would it be like? This is a person
that has come from heaven. This is not a normal person.
To have someone like that come into your home, obviously there
would be special blessing associated with those that take such good
care of God's messengers. We're just dairy farmers out
in Colorado. They live some 20 miles from
the church up Mountain Road out in a dairy farm in Colorado.
But, you know, my grandparents would open up their home to have
missionaries and ministers stay with them. And, you know, my
dad's family, all four of the kids went into full-time ministry.
And as they speak about that and they think about that, I
mean that was part of it. It was that they got to rub shoulders with
some godly people that would pray for them and encourage them
and they had that opportunity. So I mean there are blessings
associated. with those that open up their
home for God to use. So as we're able to do that,
Paul reminds us, go ahead and do that, take care of your brother. And then love your brother with
hospitality, but then secondly, with sympathy, with sympathy. Paul's already told us about
Jesus Christ in Hebrews being the sympathetic high priest,
Hebrews 4.15. It says, for we have not in high
priest, which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities,
but it was in all points tempted like as we are yet without sin.
And it's a great thing for us tonight to say, you know, God
knows my needs. He understands everything that
I'm facing in my life, everything that I'm going through. He's
experienced it. Not exactly what I'm facing,
but the same ideas of what I'm facing. And so as my You know,
Paul reminds us very specifically about a specific condition here
to sympathize with people in prayer. And so, first of all,
with prisoners. With a prisoner, pray as if you
are in prison. Those that are in prison for
Christ's sake, pray as if that is you. Verse three says, remember
them that are in bonds as bound with them. As if it's you that
are locked up. As if it's you that has had your
freedom taken away. Paul very much would know what
it's like to be a prisoner. It says in 2 Timothy 2 verse
9, his letter to Timothy, he said, But the word of God is
not bound. But he was in bondage. He knew
what it was like to hear the door shut, you know, to be chained
up maybe to some guards or in stocks, as it were, other things. And I mean, you have no liberty.
You can't do what you want to do. You can't serve yourself.
You can't get your own food. You can't go out, buy your own
clothes or anything. I mean, you've lost everything
that you knew and that you enjoyed. Georgie Vins, in our generation,
Georgie Vins is back in the 1960s, 1970s, was in prison in Russia. and became the most well known
prisoner for Christ in Russia. He became a great voice. He's
got an organization now I think called Voice of the Martyrs that
is a part of what was his ministry that he started when he came
to the United States, but he lost everything and was imprisoned
there. for the Lord. I've read recently
a book, I think my wife got it for me, about martyrdom and the
stories of people that were fed to wild beasts or torn by bulls
or burnt at the stake. You read these things and there
are people today that we forget are suffering for the Lord Jesus
Christ. Now, if that ever came into our
arena of life, where we are aware that there's somebody that is
in a situation like that, and we're doing this a bit tonight
because we know somebody that recently, as I shared, lost their son in
a car accident. Though that's not happened to
us, we ought to be burdened to say, I want to pray as if that
is what is happening to me. And so, that's how we should
pray. If we know somebody going through
a tough time, we ought to pray, as if we are in that same situation
for God's grace for them. So pray as if you're a prisoner
in this case, and then pray as if you are being persecuted.
It says, and them which suffer adversity as being yourselves
also in the body. Now the adversity there, Barnes
says this in his commentary, The word used here refers properly
to those who are maltreated or who are injured by others. It
does not properly refer to those who merely experience calamity. It's not just that they had a
bad situation, it's that they had a bad situation because they
are Christian. And Paul's saying, sympathize
with them as if you've lost your job because you took a stand,
as if you had this happen to you because you identified with
Christ. Imagine that it was you. Now
again, the church in China, we've heard in the last year and a
half or two years especially about churches being bulldozed,
Christian schools being closed, churches being disbanded. And
we are aware of persecution that is taking place, so we ought
to ask God, God help me to be a more sympathetic intercessor
for the persecuted church, not just China, North Korea, Nigeria,
the other nations that we know of that persecution is taking
place. And so he reminds us, he said,
final thought, be loving, all right? Take care of each other,
be hospitable. As the persecution comes, stand
with one another as if that was you in prayer. And then secondly
here, be pure, be pure. Sexual impurity is not a modern
invention. It was prevalent in Paul's day.
And as their spiritual father, he's just warning them that they
be very careful to guard their purity. And so we find as we
come to this text that the marriage relationship is a gift from God. It's a great gift that God has
given. The Bible says a prudent wife,
we've studied this in Proverbs, is of the Lord. We've studied
that verse, whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing. and obtaineth
favor of the Lord. But on the other hand, you've
got religions that downplay marriage as if it is not as great an honor
as God says it is. For instance, the Roman Catholic
Church teaching that celibacy trumps marriage. You know, that
if your celibacy is almost like a higher spiritual plateau, that
somebody could stand on. So you think about the Catholic
Church. They've got priests that are
single. They're commanded to be single.
You've got nuns that, again, take a vow of celibacy. You've
got monks that not just are celibate, but are isolated in some, you
know, cloister somewhere or something like that. And because of that,
great sexual impurity has come into the Catholic Church because
of that. And we're aware of that. I spoke with a Franciscan monk
at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem. And you know, he's
standing there and he's got that robe on, if you've ever seen
a Franciscan monk, it's that brown robe with the belt tied
around it, you know, and he's waiting for some religious ceremony
that was taking place. He's standing outside and he's
getting ready to usher them down this corridor. And I'm just speaking
with them and I said, you know, the Bible says in 1 Timothy chapter
4, There is a doctrine of the devil that forbids marriage and
what I was referring to is this in 1 Timothy 4 verse 1, giving heed to seducing spirits
and doctrines of devils, speaking lies and hypocrisy, having their
conscience seared with a hot iron, forbidding to marry. OK,
so one of the doctrines of the devil is that you cannot marry. And, you know, I kind of hoped
in my heart that this guy, you know, kind of wanted to get married.
You know, that he'd start thinking about that, thinking his religion
is kind of restrictive and maybe examine it in the word of God.
Why? Because that's a natural desire
that God has given. He's put in the hearts So celibacy
is not more honorable than marriage. The Bible says marriage is honorable
in all. about marriage that, you know,
you can't serve God as effectively if you're married versus being
somebody that is single. And by the way, Paul spoke about
celibacy, but Paul spoke about it honorably in a time of persecution. He said, I think it would be
better if you could be like I am at this time, all right? They
were a time of persecution, but he certainly promotes marriage
even right here in this verse. Now you think about it, Joseph
and Mary raised who? Jesus Christ. They were married. You know, he had parents. The
Lord himself had parents that impacted his life and had a great
ministry for God as the caretakers for the Lord Jesus Christ. John
the Baptist, great man of God. He had Zacharias and Elizabeth. King David had Jesse, and I'm
not sure that we know the name of his wife, but Uh, you know,
he had uh parents so marriage is a great thing, you know, especially
for somebody in ministry Uh, it would be good for that person
to be praying much about god. Give me a godly mate. Give me
a wife Uh that you know, or uh for a girl that wants to go into
you know Serving god as a pastor's wife god. Give me a man that
has a big heart for god. That's a good thing Why because
the bible says one timothy chapter three That a bishop is to be
blameless the husband of one wife having his children in subjection
with all gravity. So we see again that marriage
is honorable in all. And intimacy in marriage is not
defiling. The Bible says, and the bed undefiled. So God gave intimacy to marriage. The fruit of that relationship
is God's blessing. We understand that. The children
that God would give to that home are a great blessing. Psalm 127
verse 3, Children are an heritage of the Lord and the fruit of
the womb is his reward. Again, praise God for intimacy
that he's given and the fruit of that intimacy being children. Now sometimes if you're watching
old, we sometimes watch old movies and things in our house and you
know a husband will kiss his wife and Romance is a very important thing
that God has given and I won't read much to us tonight, but
Song of Solomon chapter 1 verse 2 speaks about kissing. And you
know, and it's very appropriate. It's very right within the marriage
relationship. But obviously intimacy outside
of marriage is unlawful and forbidden by God. And so the Bible says,
but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge. Okay, so somebody
that uses prostitutes or legitimizes adultery or sexual sin is unlawful. So that includes prostitution,
pornography, defiled entertainment, sexually perverse relationships. Now our world steps up and says,
but we have made it lawful. We say it's okay. We say that
it's not a problem. In fact, I mean, homosexuality,
I think I'm sure now is no longer on the books, but it was on the
books. Even in secular law, there were laws against that. Now,
we've got laws in Britain that condone it. Laws that even give
a blessing upon it, saying that people of the same sex, for instance,
can't get married, and things like that. Well, just because
man has sought to legitimize that, what does the Bible say
at the end of that verse? What people should do is look
back at Sodom and Gomorrah and see a city and remember that
God judged that city because that city was sexually perverse. And so intimacy outside of marriage
is unlawful. So what is the point of what
Paul is saying? Paul is saying be pure. For a
young person, keep yourself pure for that future mate. For somebody
within a marriage, keep yourself pure within that marriage. And so be pure. And so be loving. Secondly, be pure. And then thirdly,
be content. Again, these are just final thoughts. These are just some short ideas.
Be content. And so God's law The 10th commandment
is summarized in 10 commandments. Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's
house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's wife, nor his manservant,
nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor anything
that is thy neighbor's. So you're not looking at what
your neighbor possesses and saying, I've got to have that. Why? Because
it's not lawful for you to have that. Why? Because he possesses
it. So anything that you covet, it's
either someone else's, it's not for sale, or you can't afford
it. Right? I mean, it's off limits for some
reason that whatever that object is that you're coveting, if you're
committing the sin of covetousness. So what does Paul teach us about
contentment? Well, he says, be content Be
content not to desire what others possess. It says in verse five,
let your conversation, your lifestyle, be without covetousness. In other words, if it's off limits,
don't let your heart desire it. Don't look at it longingly if
it's not something that you have legitimate access to. For instance, King Ahab. King
Ahab would go walking on the wall of his palace, well he would
look with desire at Naboth's vineyard. There it was close
to the castle, or close to the wall that he's walking on. He
looks down on it, and he just, he's gotta have it. He wants
it so bad, but it was not lawful. Naboth could not sell it to him,
or Naboth would violate God's law that meant that that inheritance
was to stay with that family. So there is nothing Naboth could
do to sell it to him. Naboth isn't going to violate
God's law to sell it to him, but Ahab continues to look at
it with covetousness. Think about Achan. Achan as he
went into the city of Jericho after the walls fell down. God
said everything in that city that is of value, the spoils
of that city are mine. Well, Achan should have taken
that on board and never have looked at something there and
thought, I'd like to have that. Why? Because that was God's.
You don't want to take something that is God's, but that was God's.
Achan desired it. Instead of dealing with that
desire as a forbidden desire, he continued to look at it. As you think about that, covetousness
leads to sin like murder, adultery, theft, divorce, bankruptcy. You
can list a long list of sins that come from that one root
sin of covetousness. He says, be content, be content. Don't look with desire at something
that is forbidden. And then secondly, be content
to desire what you do possess. Okay, be content. You can say
it this way, to want what you have, you know, to be thankful. An attitude of gratitude, you
know, goes a long ways to contentment, just desiring the things that
God in his goodness has given to us. You know, you look at
Potiphar's wife, and Potiphar's wife was discontent. She looked
longingly at Joseph. But you know, Joseph was satisfied. Joseph had a good position. He had privileges. He had a good
master. He had a good God. And so the
Bible story says in Genesis 39 It came to pass after these things
that Potiphar's wife, his master's wife, cast her eyes upon Joseph,
and she said, Lie with me. But he refused, and he said unto
his master's wife, Behold my master, what if not what is with
me in the house? He hath committed all that he
hath to my hand. What is he saying? I've got a privileged position.
He's saying God's been good to me. I'm thankful for this position.
I'm thankful for the goodness of my master. There's none greater
in this house than I. Neither hath he kept back anything
from me but thee because thou art his wife. He said, My master
is so good, he's given me everything, but what is not lawfully mine?
Okay, which he refers to her because of what she said. How
then can I do this great wickedness and sin against God? So what
is Joseph saying? He's saying I value what I have.
I'm content. He possessed that and he did
not desire what was unlawful for him. That's a great position
for us to be in when it comes to contentment and to deal with
covetousness. God, thank you for what I have and what I cannot
have, I don't desire. And so God, thank you. And so
be content. That contentment will guard us
from a lot of sin. 1 Timothy 6, 6 says, but godliness
with contentment is what? Great gain! So in those words
Paul is dealing with a lot of things there. Be content with
such things as he had. And then fourthly tonight, and
this is our final point this evening, be confident. You know, the boys have recently
gotten out of metal detecting. They're all getting into it.
And it's partly because we've got a housing scheme that's going
in near us, 400 new houses out in these farm fields. But, you
know, Benson was the first to get into it and he was the first
to get out of it. But I think about Benson, you
know, he found a diamond ring that's worth almost the price
of a car. And once you've found something like that, I think
you kind of come to like, what else could you find, you know,
that would be of greater value than that? I think that puts
a little bit of satisfaction into your life. And and so if
you have Jesus Christ tonight, this this deals with that area
of contentment and confidence. You don't really need anything
else. If you have Christ and that's that's what Paul's dealing
with this point ties into that verse about contentment But it
goes on beyond that to this idea of confidence And so satan satan
likes to say things like god has forgotten about you. He's
not going to meet your needs You know, he doesn't care about
your desires that by the way with regard contentment delight
yourself also in the lord and he will give thee The desires
of thine heart. Okay, so God is a God that gives
us that which makes us content. We can trust him, but Satan says,
you know, God's not good. He's not gonna meet your need.
But Paul reminds us that Jesus is always with you. He's always
there. It says, for he hath said, I
will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. I'm there. Now if you've got Jesus, you've
got everything you need, right? What could you lack if you have
Jesus Christ? Again, he's going to experience
some of these things in his life as he's in prison in Rome. He
writes the book of Philippians. And in Philippians chapter four,
verse 12, he says, I know both how to be abased and I know how
to abound. Everywhere and in all things
I'm instructed both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound
and to suffer need. I can do all things through Christ,
which strengtheneth me. Okay, Paul says, I'm in prison,
but guess what? I'm content. I have everything. Why? I can do all things through
Christ which strengthens me. I've got Christ. It's because
I have Christ I don't need anything else because God provides everything
I need. Paul said at my first answer,
No man stood with me, but all men forsook me. I pray God it
may not be laid to their charge, notwithstanding the Lord has
stood with me. Again, he's just, God's with
me. And if God's with me, it's okay. Everybody else forsook
me. but I'm content. Why? Because God is the one that's
with me and God is the one that is going to meet my needs. You know, do you remember the
fun of eating out as a family when you're growing up? Maybe
as a college student, you come back home and mom and dad say
we're going out to eat and you just have this expectation that
your meal might be free, not to mom and dad, but to yourself. Why? Because if dad's there,
dad's going to pay the bill for you. The thing is for us tonight,
if God is there, then God's going to take care of it. And so I
can be content and I can be confident. I can be confident because Jesus
is with me and he has promised to always, always be with me. And then secondly, Jesus is all,
Jesus will always help you. Okay. Jesus is always with you,
but Jesus will always help you. Verse six, So that we may boldly
say, the Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall
do unto me. Jesus is not just present, Jesus
is active. He's not just there, but because
he's there, he is going to meet the need. The Lord is my helper. Let's go back to that passage
in 2 Timothy chapter 4. where Paul's expressing everybody
else forsook him. Notwithstanding, the Lord stood
with me and strengthened me, that by me the preaching might
be fully known, that all the Gentiles might hear, and I was
delivered out of the mouth of the lion, and the Lord shall
deliver me from every evil work, and will preserve me unto his
heavenly kingdom, to whom be glory forever and ever. Paul was confident why Jesus
was with him, and Jesus was helping him. Jesus had helped him, Jesus
was helping him, Jesus would help him. Now, let's take this
truth and go back in our story, our text here to Hebrews chapter
11. The stories of the great things
accomplished by faith with some men of God. Let's think about
David facing Goliath. David could have thought this,
although he didn't, okay? We're reading back into history,
but he could have quoted this verse if he would have known
it, and that's this, the Lord is my helper. And I will not
fear what man shall do unto me. Right? He's standing there looking
at a big giant, a really big giant, but it's okay because
God is with him. Daniel in the lion's den, the
Lord is my helper. I will not fear what man shall
do unto me. The three Hebrew children cast into the fire. The Lord is my helper. Right? And he will deliver me from every
evil work. You know, tonight, are you confident? Is there confidence in your heart?
Hey, God is with me. It's all right. And see, Paul's
signing off on this letter. He's getting finished. He just
has those final thoughts. He says, be confident. Be confident. God is with you. God is going
to help you. Be content. Love what you lawfully
possess. Don't covet other things. Be
pure. Guard yourself. Guard your marriage. And then be loving. Think about
the brethren. Be hospitable and be sympathetic. to help meet their needs, all
right? And we'll pick this up again. I'm not sure if we'll
continue on the same line or not as we conclude, but we gotta
start here on the last chapter, Hebrews chapter 13. Let's pray.
Father, we thank you for the grace that you give to look at
the truth of the word of God. And Father, what we consider
tonight will both be a blessing to the church and a protection
to the church. And Father, we pray, help us
be loving as a church. I pray that we'd be hospitable
And Father, that we would just seek to meet needs of those that
are about us. Help us be sympathetic in our
prayers, to really be passionate, to pray for those that are going
through a tough time. And Lord, as we pray about that tonight,
we pray for the Edgars, that the Spirit of God would minister
greatly to them at this time of sorrow. Father, help us to
be pure as well. God, we live in a very impure,
wicked world. Father, guard the sexual purity
of our young people. Father, of our adults, of our
church, that God, by your grace, that our church would be pure.
God, give us grace not to be covetous, but to be content.
And Father, to just love what we possess and not desire what
is forbidden, what is not ours, what we cannot possess lawfully.
And then Father, I pray that you just help us to know your
presence and to be confident that God, you are with us. And
in every situation, because you're a faithful God with us, that
you're going to help us and you're going to meet our needs. Thank
you for helping in this time tonight in our Bible study. Bless
it to the hearts of those that heard it. It's in Christ's name
we pray, amen. Amen, all right, we'll sign off
on FaceTime. Or Facebook.
