You know, we've claimed many
times in our church where two or three are gathered together in
my name, there in my laments. And so we praise God that we
can have church and that we can be refreshed in the middle of
the week here. At Bob Jones University where
I was a student, after my sophomore year, I didn't know if God, what
God had for my life and I was praying about what God had. And
I said to my dad, I said, what about just being a Bible major?
And my dad said, well, it wouldn't be wasted and got counsel from
him. So I went back, I wasn't called to preach yet. I went
back to Bob Jones, and being a Bible major, I got into something
called a Preacher Boys class, and back then, praise God, there
were several hundred students, I think about six to seven hundred
young men that were training for the ministry. And the preacher
boys were the guys that they're developing teaching doctrine
to. It's kind of like seminary and undergrad level. And then
there was seminary after that. And some of the guys were grad
students as well. But it's just a practical truth
about being a minister, being a pastor. And with the pastoral
epistles, 1 Timothy, 2 Timothy, and then also Titus, that's really
what it is. It's Paul instructing a young
man in faith, Timothy. So he's kind of his preacher
boy. And so last week we looked at, if you remember, Paul's authority,
that he was apostle that had been appointed by Jesus Christ,
and that Timothy was Paul's disciple. So there's encouragement to Timothy
right away that Paul saw God's hand at work in his life. and
then remember to give that threefold blessing to Timothy as well,
grace, mercy, and peace. And so tonight, we're gonna begin
to consider three aspects of Timothy's ministry, and we're
only gonna get to one part of that this evening, Timothy's
charge, then we'll look at Timothy's church and Timothy's challenge,
okay? So Timothy's charge is what we're gonna look at tonight.
Let's pray as we get started, ask God to bless our Bible study
this evening. Father, I thank you for the grace
that you give, we thank you. for the opportunity that we have
to gather together tonight. And Father, it's our desire that
the Spirit of God would speak to our hearts. Lord, I thank
you for the young men that are sitting in front of me this evening.
It may be that some of these are gonna be called to preach
or are called to preach. And Father, I just pray to encourage
them and to walk with you. This is a very practical book
along those lines, but it's practical for the church as well to consider
things that are areas of conflict, areas that need to be resolved
in the church. And Father, I pray tonight that
you bless our service. I pray that the presence of God
will be known in this place. And Father, we claim the verse
that I mentioned, and we've already claimed it tonight, but where
two or three are gathered together in my name, they're mine in the midst.
And Father, we pray that church would grow. We pray that God
would bless us with those that desire to get together in the
midweek and seek the face of God and those that are able to
do so. And yet, Father, we praise you. here this evening and Lord we
thank you that you're merciful God a gracious God a good God
and father as we just noticed the sound system needs some work
yet and I pray that the Spirit of God to give us wisdom about
that but Lord we commit that to you and we praise you for
the grace that you can and pray God that you'd be glorified tonight
it's in Christ's name we pray amen all right sorry about that
we'll sort it some other time all right Timothy's charged Timothy's
charged so Timothy was a companion of and a fellow laborer of the
Apostle Paul. Acts 16 verse 1. It says, then
came he, Paul, to Derbe and Lystra, and behold, a certain disciple,
and so you're, and going back to Acts, it's where it's all
beginning, it's a story of what's happening, but it says a certain
disciple. It doesn't just say a certain young man that was
in the church. It was a certain disciple. It
means that he was a pupil, that he was a student, all right,
that he was, he really was a preacher boy. He really was desirous of
understanding the word of God, named Timotheus. the son of a
certain woman which was a Jewess and believed, but his father
was a Greek, which was well reported of by the brethren that were
at Lystra and Iconium. Him would Paul have to go forth
with him." Okay, to Timothy's credit, as they looked at this
young man, they saw a young man that had the hand of God upon
his life. The Bible says he was well reported of by the brethren.
So as those churches looked at Timothy, they thought, you know,
there's a young man, that's a sharp young man, God's hand is on him.
As Paul comes, Paul looks at him and says, that young man
is really sharp. In fact, I'd like to have him go with me and
travel with me and be my companion and fellow laborer in the work
of the Lord. As you continue to read the book
of Acts, you'll see Timothy or Timotheus traveling with Paul. It says in Acts 17 verse 13, And then immediately the brethren
sent away Paul to go, as it were, to the sea, but Silas and Timotheus
abode there still. And they that conducted Paul
brought him unto Athens, and receiving a commandment unto
Silas and Timotheus for to come to him with all speed, they departed. Paul was persecuted, he had to
flee, he left Timotheus, he left Silas, but then he says, he gets
somewhere else, he says, send the guys, and so they come, and
you just see that Paul is the leader of the group, he has the
authority, and that they're just ready to be servants and do whatever
needs to be done for God and for God's Word. And so we find
that Timothy's charge is that Timothy was called to oversee
God's work at Ephesus, and so we come down to our text in 1
Timothy chapter 1 and verse 3. It says, as I have sought thee
to abide still at Ephesus when I went into Macedonia. And so
Paul, again, he's in the position of authority and he says to Timothy,
Timothy, I really want you to stay there at Ephesus. I'm going
to go into Macedonia, but this is where I want you and I put
you here to serve the Lord here. Now as Paul does that, Paul exhibits
a great faith in what Timothy would do and we see that in other
texts as Paul speaks about Timothy that he knew that Timothy had
the same heart that he had. In Philippians 2 verse 19 he
says, but I trust in the Lord Jesus to send Timotheus shortland
to you that I will also be of good comfort when I know your
state for I have no man like minded who will naturally care
for your state. And Paul goes, hey, I am glad
to send Timothy because Timothy thinks like me. And I think we
can say about Paul, Paul was a biblicist. Paul was somebody
that agreed with the word of God. Paul was somebody that stood,
if Jesus Christ was there and Paul stood where Jesus Christ
would stand, he looked at Timothy and said, hey, that guy's gonna
stand where I stand, where Christ stands. And he says, I know this
guy is gonna do that which I desire to see him do to the glory of
God. You know, how important is it
tonight that we be like-minded with the men that have gone before?
Okay, how important is it tonight that we be the same, biblically,
as Paul was back in his day? You know, I share with our church
a lot of times, I loved reading the guys back in the 1800s. I
love reading about their devotion to God. They held a high esteem
for the Lord's Day. They were serious about personal
devotion. They were serious about personal piety. They were serious
about having family devotions and sitting down and studying
the Word of God together and coming together for prayers at
night. It wasn't just religiosity. It was that they really understood
that they desired a real relationship with God. I like, in my mind,
to go back to the 1950s and the movement in the United States
that was called the Independent Fundamental Baptist movement and that went
up into the 1990s and early 2000s and was strong for God. And I
say this very sadly today, there are great changes that are taking
place in that movement. There's a great shift away from
things that I look at and I say those things are important and
we ought to get back to what the Word of God says about those
things and honor those things. I've recently been told this,
we live in modern times and you still appear to be in the dark
ages. You know, as I read something
like that and I think about something like that, I say this, I hope
somebody can say about me, I stand back in the days of the early
church, okay, and I'm not saying wear robes and sandals and, you
know, let's go and do everything like they did back then with
house churches, but I am saying this, I want to stand where they
stood back in the day because that's where we ought to stand.
There ought to be nobody that apologizes for taking a stand
that's a biblical stand That is a historic stand, that's a
consistent stand with the Word of God. So we need men who stand
where God's men stood. Christianity is 2,000 years old
in our day. 2,000. So imagine this, everybody
just writes steps, writes steps, writes steps, writes steps. Pretty
soon we fall off the precipice because we have stepped so far
away from God just by a little bit, little bit, little bit.
What prevents that? What prevents that is that God's given us a
book that tells us by absolute authority what God's mind is. And what prevents that is also
that by the grace of God, there's been faithful men and each generation
that have stood up and honored God. They might be a remnant,
they might be a minority, but by the grace of God, they have
stood where God's word stands, and they have stood there in
obedience to God, and they were men like the old prophets in
the Old Testament that didn't care what men thought about what
they were preaching, but cared very much about what God thought
about their preaching. Men like Jeremiah, who set their
face like a flint and would not be moved because they were standing
in obedience to God. 2 Timothy 2 says, And the things
that thou hast heard of me, among many witnesses, the same commit
thou to faithful men who shall be able to teach others also.
And so Paul looks at Timothy, he says, man, I see a faithful
man. He's able to teach others also. And he gets excited. I can just imagine the heart
of the Apostle Paul as he comes, he sees this young disciple,
Timothy. He looks at him and he says, hey, praise God. This
guy's got a heart for God. He's burdened about it, excited
about it. Says, hey, come on, go with me. And he starts putting
him into positions of authority in God's work. And so Timothy
is there in Ephesus. He's there because he's a faithful
man. He's given the charge over that area kind of to do some
very specific things. with regard to establishing these
churches for God. And so he's called to oversee
that. But then he's called to preach God's word in Ephesus. He's called to preach God's word,
protecting the doctrine. It says that thou mightest charge
some that they teach no other doctrine. For those who wanted
to preach another gospel, Timothy had a responsibility and that
was to go to them and say, no, no, no, you can't do that. And
to stand up in the church and to declare against that false
gospel and against that false gospel and against that false
teaching, Timothy's job was to be a man that would be there
and say, hey, this is not OK. We're going to we're going to
stand up and we're going to honor God in God's word. So Timothy
had a charge, it was preach against it. You know, our society is
big on tolerating false religions. I've said before, our family
had to take the life of the UK test, you know, to become permanent
resident and then to become a citizen. The Life of the UK test, as you
take it, they'll say, what are the five values of being British? And one of the first ones is
tolerance. And I think, who wrote the book?
Who's the one that segmented society and had the authority
to say, these are what British values are? But I'll say this,
in modern day thinking and societal thinking and political thinking,
their idea very much is that it is a virtue to be tolerant
as if a tolerance is is a godly thing. And so they'll say things
like this. All religions are good. Right. I mean, it sounds very men pleasing
and very warm. You know, we want to embrace
you into our society. All religions are good. All religions
are equal. There's no religion that is better
than another religion. They're all the same. In fact,
in fact, they'll say that all religions that believe in God
are the same. It's like all roads lead to the same thing, is their
idea. And they say you ought to respect
all faith. And by respect, they mean accept. OK, and it's a doctrine
of tolerance. But I'll say this about that
doctrine is not a biblical doctrine. It's not something that we ought
to take into the church and take on board as a church and say,
OK, OK, we got to start to pat on the back. Those that are unbelievers,
pat on the back. Those that are false teachers,
pat on the back. Those that are standing against the truth of
the word of God. The Bible says in Titus 111,
It says whose mouths must be stopped who subvert whole houses
Teaching things what they ought not for filthy lucre sake and
for the sake of money for the sake of whatever they're teaching
a false religion the Bible says their mouths gotta be stopped
and Just like Timothy here Timothy had a charge and it was to command
them not to preach any other gospel Galatians 1 8 says but
though me or an angel from heaven preach any other gospel unto
you than that which we have preached unto you. Let him be accursed."
Now there's religions that claim angelic revelation. Islam says
that Muhammad received angelic revelation. Mormons claim that
Joseph Smith Received angelic revelation. I don't I'll just
say I don't personally disagree with that because I believe they
got it from an angel But they got it from a fallen angel and that
is satanic and that it has power and that it has been a strong
movement But Paul said it this way But though we are an angel
from heaven preach any other gospel to you than that which
we have preached Paul just said this hey let him be damned and
Paul took a stand against that a false teaching and Jesus has
a warning for false religions that are also seeking to cater
to the world and seek the approval of men. Luke 6, 26, Jesus said,
Woe unto you, when all men shall speak well of you, for so did
their fathers to the false prophets. You know, it'd be a bad thing
today if I, as a Christian, have the world and everybody on my
side patting me on the back saying, hey, that's great. I agree with
the message that you teach. I agree with the music that you sing.
I agree with the dress that you wear. I agree with the places
that you go. Hey, you're great. We love you. That's great. God
says, if that's the way that I am, then beware, because I'm
a false teacher. That's what they did to those
that were anti I was witnessing to a man this past week, and
I reminded him that false religion is what put Jesus Christ on the
cross. False religious leaders were those that gave their voice
against the Lord, those that despised the Lord, those that
hated the Lord, those that crucified the Lord. And if we're standing
where Jesus stood, then those false religions are going to
rise up against us as well. And Paul says to Timothy, Timothy,
you're to stand there and to charge them, charge some. that
they teach no other doctrine. And so called to preach God's
word in emphasis protecting the doctrine. And then refuting a
false doctrine, refuting false doctrine. And part of that was
superstitious stories. It says in verse four, neither
give heed to fables, okay? And we understand the word fable
is a made up story. And Barnes Notes says this, the
commentary says this, The fables here referred to were probably
the idle and puerile superstitions and conceits of the Jewish rabbis.
The word rendered fable means properly speech or discourse,
and then fable or fiction or a mystic discourse. Such things
abounded among the Greeks as well as the Jews, but it is probable
that the latter here are particularly intended. They were composed
of frivolous and unfounded stories, which they regarded as of great
importance, and which they seemed to have desired to incorporate
with the teachings of Christianity. Paul, who had been brought up
amidst these superstitions, saw at once how they would tend to
draw off the mind from the truth and would corrupt the true religion.
One of the most successful arts of the adversary of souls has
been to mingle fable with truth. And when he cannot overthrow
the truth by direct opposition, to neutralize it by mingling
with it much that is false and frivolous. And so Satan would
desire to get kind of some mystical aspects and things into true
religion and try to corrupt religion, true religion with those things.
If you know about this, or think about this, but Scots are pretty
superstitious. A lot of people, you know, you
talk to them, you talk about calamity, and they'll go, you
know, knock on wood, you know, as if that really kind of, they
think, does something. I've had people talk to me and
say, you know, my mom died, my dad died, I was really heartbroken
over that, but then this butterfly flew in the window, and I just
knew it was my mom, I just knew it was my dad, you know, somehow
saying something to me. And you know, a lot of religious
people want to go pat on the back and encourage you, and that's
great, and I think that's real, but the Bible says that these
fables, These mysticisms, these false
ideas, are things that, in this case, Timothy was to stand against
and say, hey, we're not going to introduce into our religion
these superstitious ideas that make men maybe feel good or kind
of get thinking about things they ought not be thinking about.
We'll just stick with the truth of the Word of God. And so refuting
false doctrines, superstitious stories. but then unnecessary
interest in bloodlines. It says in endless genealogies. Genealogy is very interesting.
You study your family history and try to go back in time and
see kind of where you came from. You know, we all go back to Adam
and Eve and go back to Noah, but to see, you know, in recent
history who our forefathers were. And we were at a church this
past, well, actually a year ago in the summer in Sauk City, Wisconsin.
And my brother told me, as we were there in Sauk City, he said,
you know what, one of our ancestors, and he named him, I can't remember
his first name, you know, I remember his surname, sure, but he was
one of the first ones to sit down with the Sauk Indians in
Sauk County, and we were in Sauk City, Wisconsin, so we're very
close to that area where he met with the Indians. So that's neat,
and that's interesting, and you know, even here in Scotland,
there's a great interest in genealogy. If you go down into Edinburgh,
you've got the tourist shops that have the clan histories,
and you've got the maps, and you've got the kilts, and you've
got, I suppose if you can attach somebody to some lineage here
in Scotland, you can make a lot of money trying to maybe sell
them some of the goods that have to do with their history. And with the Jewish man, you
know, his history as a Jew was very important to him. It had
been very important within God's economy in the past with Israel. It was very important to them
that they were a Jew, that they weren't a stranger, that they
were somebody that could prove their lineage, you know, that
went back to Abraham, as well as their tribal lineage. that
they were a part of this tribe, maybe for the sake of being,
you know, maybe of the tribe of Levi so that they could be
involved in serving in the temple or in the worship that was there. But you know, all that genealogical
history was done away with at the cross and done away with
in Christ. Remember Paul? was speaking about
the fact that he was a Jew of the Jews. If anybody could have
stood up and said, you know what, my genealogy is good, Paul could
say that. Philippians 3 verse 3 says, we
are the circumcision, we're the Jews, which worship God in the
spirit and rejoice in Christ Jesus and have no confidence
in the flesh. He's talking about a true child of God, the circumcision
of the heart. No confidence in the flesh, that's
the genealogy. Though I might also have confidence
in the flesh, if any other man thinketh that he hath wherever
he might trust in the flesh, I more. Circumcise the eighth
day of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, and Hebrew
of the Hebrews, as touching the law of Pharisee. Concerning zeal,
persecuting the church, touching the righteousness which is in
the law, Blameless, but what things were gained to me those
I counted loss for Christ and Paul Paul had all this I mean
he had it could it could could open up You know the CV of all
the stuff He was as a Jew and it was great and a lot of Jews
would look up to Paul and say hey, that's that's amazing You
know what when Paul was a Pharisee of the Pharisees, but Paul just
counted it loss for Christ Yea, doubtless, and I count all things
but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus
my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do
count them but done refuse that I may win Christ. Paul looked
at all that history of who he was, and he set it aside, said
it doesn't matter, what matters is Christ. And there's a lot
of people tonight that are trusting the fact that they've been a
good Catholic since the day they were born, and they have been
a Christian their whole life, and they've been a Church of
Scotland person since they were born, and they were christened,
and they've got that history of being in the church, and the
family history of being in the church, and they've been very
religious, but Paul is saying your genealogy doesn't matter.
It doesn't matter, and it was kind of a different, a little
bit different deal than that within the early church, because
it still kind of wanted to go back to that old religion that
was done away with in Christ. And so Paul said to Timothy,
Timothy stand against those endless genealogies. Why? Because they
are things which do not strengthen faith. All that history and all
that past of what they had done, the Bible says about it, which
minister questions rather than godly edifying, which is in the
faith. So do, okay? It's not going to
help. Imagine you get to church and
you got Barnabas and Titus that they're there and they're arguing
about their genealogical history and who's the greatest Jew and
it's going back and forth and it seems kind of interesting
and maybe, you know, we might find some interest in it, but
it has no benefit. It has nothing to do with actually
strengthening the church. So Paul's principle is this,
if what you are discussing does not build up the church, stop. There's a lot of interesting
things in our day. We're living, as Daniel prayed
on Sunday night, in the last days of the last days. Jesus
Christ is coming soon, and it could be very interesting to
talk about the Tribulation. It could be very interesting
to talk about the Antichrist. It could be very interesting
to talk about vaccines, and the Mark of the Beast, and what's
taking place, and there could be contingents that come in from
those things. those issue type side things
do not do anything to strengthen the spiritual strength of the
church. Satan loves to introduce petty
arguments into churches. He's very keen to do that. He
did that even in the early church. The church in Corinth got into
it, arguing about spiritual heritage. In 1 Corinthians 3, verse 1,
Paul said, and I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual
But as unto carnal, somebody that's a fleshly person, even
as unto babes in Christ, I fed you with milk and not with meat,
for hitherto you were not able to bear it, neither yet now are
you able. For ye are yet carnal, whereas
there is among you envying and strife and divisions. Are ye
not carnal? Walk as men. For one saith, I'm of Paul. They
were claiming their spiritual heritage. You know, I got saved
when Paul was preaching, or baptized by Paul. And another, I'm of
Apollos. Are ye not carnal? Who then is
Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers by whom ye believed,
even as the Lord gave to every man? I plan as Apollos watered,
but God gave the increase. So then neither is he that planneth
anything, neither he that watereth, but God that giveth the increase."
You know, they thought they were being spiritual, saying, I'm
of Apollos, and Paul just said, hey, you're just being fleshly,
you're just getting into it about something that is non-essential.
Something that has nothing to do with Christianity. And so
Paul says to Timothy, Timothy, all these endless genealogies
and these spiritual aspects, these things minister questions.
They don't bring us to godly edifying, do away with those
things, shun those things. You know, we ought to look at
our life and say, you know what, let's stay away from pet issues.
Let's stay away from miniscule doctors. I praise God. I wasn't
given in college to coffee shop theology. I wasn't somebody that
was an intellectual type person that would sit down and love
to argue about, you know, the little things in the world. I
praise God and probably protect me from that. I probably wasn't
smart enough to do it. Maybe that's it. But the thing
is, those things don't matter. Those things are side things.
We got to set those things aside and say, I'm going to focus on
the big thing. So preaching doctrine that builds
up the church, because he said, which is a godly edifying, which
is in the faith, so do. Okay, don't miss out on preaching
the faith. Again, you could get focused
on things that are not essential. The Pharisees did that in Jesus'
day. The Pharisees were religious
leaders and they had such a scrutiny of the supposedly of the law
and yet they missed the big things. Matthew 23, 23 says, woe unto
you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, for you paid tithe of mint and
anise, and come and have admitted the weightier matters of the
law, judgment, mercy, and faith. These ought you to have done,
and not to leave the other undone. God said, hey, that's not bad,
tithe off the things that you got. You're scrutinizing, hey,
but you're missing the big things. You're missing the big things.
Sometimes you'll see a new convert, and I've said recently, I just
pray for converts that just get a hunger for God and look in
the Word of God and be faithful to the house of God and set apart
the world and obey God and honor God. But you kind of have two
things in our day that we're seeing, and that's a new convert
that gets zealous about the minuscule things and is focused on kind
of pet issues that they can look up on YouTube and watch a lot
of videos about and see a lot of things about kind of their
pet interests, whether it's End Times events or some other history
about the Bible or something like that. And they're so focused
on, they know everything about that, but they don't know the
basics about God. They don't know the basics about
just hey, loving God, just fellowshipping together, just being faithful
to the house of God, just participating in evangelism, just reading your
Bible, just praying, just listening to the teaching and preaching
that is there at the local church and becoming a part of that assembly
and really seeking to do something in a local community for Jesus
Christ. They can't see that, but they're focused on little
pet issues that they could write a dissertation on that, but they
don't really have a beginning understanding the Bible. The
other one I've mentioned too, the other one is a person that
gets saved and just like they're just not growing and you just
don't see any life in them and you just don't see any any any
zeal whatsoever. I pray in our day God help us,
God give us people that will get saved that would just steady
grow, be kept from these things that Paul is speaking about,
these things that minister questions rather than godly edifying. which
is in the faith. And so our desire is, hey, you
know what, be careful. Satan wants us to go down the
path of contentious things that are not essentials. Well, we
gotta stick with the Word of God. No, we gotta stand up for
doctrine, we gotta stand up for practice, but be very careful
that we're discerning in the things that we take a position
upon. And so Timothy, week he's a young
sickly timid man and Paul says hey get in there to Ephesus and
fight for the faith fight for the faith tonight we don't look
at our life say by the grace of God I mean I you know it doesn't
matter what I feel like my gifts or
my strengths are by the grace of God. I wanna be somebody that'll
take a stand for the faith. I wanna be somebody to be a faithful
man to say to God, God, you know what? I just wanna be faithful
to do what you called me to do. Just willing to get in there
and toe the line with God's word. We gotta be somebody that stands
up for this book and says, you know what, it's there. It's in
the Word of God. And I'll tell you this, I'm getting burdened about the
doctrine of separation. I'm getting burdened about godliness. I'm getting burdened about people
that would be faithful to the Word of God and stand for the
truth of the Word of God and a generation that loves God.
And I understand this, the Bible says, but in the last days, Perilous
times shall come and it speaks about a falling away. It speaks
about them that would keep to themselves teachers Having inching
years, but I just pray as a church We just look at what God's words
is going to tell us about in this in this past world pistol
and and say you know what? We're just going to stand. We're
just going to stand We're going to trust God to do a great work. You know are we more tolerant
than we should be and Have we swallowed it? Have we swallowed
the idea the world gives? You gotta be tolerant, you gotta
kinda come alongside and agree with somebody that is in a clear
position of doctrinal error. Are we somebody that says, you
know what, I'm gonna refute that. I'm gonna refute that. I'm gonna
stand with the word of God, but I'm not gonna refute silly things.
I'm not gonna argue over little things in the word of God, but
I'm absolutely gonna stand for the truth of the word of God. The things that build up, the
things that edify. the godliness of which the Bible
speaks. May God help us to do that, all
right? Just a little challenge for us tonight from the life
of Timothy. Let's pray. Father, I thank you
for Timothy. And Father, I thank you that
the Apostle Paul could look at Timothy and say, you know what,
I'd like to have this guy on my team. And Father, I just pray
tonight in the hearts of these young men that there would be
a desire in their heart to say, you know what, God, would you
use me like that? And Father, I pray that we fight
and stand. And Father, on the one hand, fighting for truth
like Timothy, on the other hand, fighting against the false teaching
that's creeping in, the things that are causing error and causing
people to turn aside away from the gospel to a false gospel. And Father, I pray that the Spirit
of God will bless the Word. As it's been preached tonight,
I pray, God, just stir our hearts. I pray, Lord, to harvest, send
forth laborers into the harvest field. And God, give us grace
to be true to you. It's in Christ that we pray,
amen. Amen, all right, praise God for
our time together tonight. And we'll go ahead and take prayer
requests, and we'll just wait one second while we end the live
stream. And we'll take prayer requests and praises, all right? Something God's done in your
life this week to encourage you. be thinking about it.
