Well, good morning. It is 9:01 and counting, so we better get started. So let's open up with prayer. Holy Father, you are very good to us.
You've given to us another day and you've given to us the opportunity to be together. To have fellowship with one another. And to come together around our worship of you and to reflect upon. You in a way that's unique from the rest of the week, and Lord, we're grateful for this opportunity, this chance to be with you.
And Lord, as we look into your word, as we study what it means, I pray your spirit would be with us, open up our minds, help us to have understanding. And help us to be open to the truth, to what you have for us to know. And Lord, may you just guide us through all of this. In Jesus' name, we ask this.
Amen. My name is Dan Whittaker. I keep forgetting to, to say my name. I'm supposed to do that when I get up here....
