Lord, I just, Preparing for this, for this lesson, Lord, it's just, amazing to see how powerful the gospel is. I'm just never I just never understand the the the places that it will go, the things that it explains. The things that it makes clear. And this morning, as we look at the topic of sharing our hope and beginning with the scriptures and doing that, Lord, just help us to understand the power of the gospel, Lord, there is no reason whatsoever to be ashamed of it.
Lord, it is the gospel that makes us truly human, it is the gospel that allows us to know you. It is the gospel that gives us true life. Lord, let us embrace that with confidence, and be willing to share that hope with others. In Jesus' name.
Amen. All right, I'm gonna break a rule of speaking, and that rule is you don't begin with apologies, but I'm going to begin with apologies. I was running around this morning and did not have time to make handouts. I see people picking up handouts, so someone may have created those for me and if someone did, I am eternally in your debt.
second of all, is that I'm going to do lesson 7, not lesson 6. when Mike originally asked me to do this, I predicted 123456, and I thought it was going to be 7. that changed a little bit and I'm not good at change. I need a long warm-up to get ready for something....
