It's good to, good to be back. I can't believe it's that time of year again. we always look forward to coming and visiting. I'm here with my wife and two out of three of our kids.
Our oldest just turned 18 a couple of weeks ago. Can you believe it? I think the first time we came here was in '07 and he was a baby. So it's like, where has time gone?
he's doing sound at our church today and couldn't get out of the schedule, which is great. I, it's, I respect that, that we miss him. But my mom is here in his place, so that's wonderful to have her here, this morning and. I do bring greetings from my fellow pastors and all the members at the Reformed Baptist Church in Riverside, just just down the road, a little bit further than we used to be when we were right almost across the street from each other, but nevertheless, we're thankful for your congregation, for your pastors, your elders, and your faithfulness to God's word and seeking to to live for the glory of God.
I tell you I was so blessed singing worship this morning. I thought let's just keep singing. and in some ways we're gonna keep singing. You can turn to Revelation chapter 5, which is one of the most glorious sections in all of scripture....
