I want to welcome you to the 2nd service this morning. our pastor, Pastor Milton is still enjoying his vacation. He'll be back the following week. He's in New York actually right now, preaching at a church that he's ministered to before, and they're having a dedication to a ministry that they've begun, and he's there to celebrate that dedication, that ministry with them.
So he's in New York. but he's missing all of you and wanted to greet you, and he's looking forward to coming back very soon. it's my privilege to open up God's word again, and continue the topic of living for God's kingdom. and would you turn with me to Matthew chapter 6, verse 25.
Matthew chapter 6 verse 2. I'm going to ask God's blessing, as we could begin. Father, we give you thanks for this opportunity just to come to be gathered as your people to celebrate your goodness and grace, Lord, we have so much to be thankful for, so much to come before you and in your presence to praise you for, Lord, we, we thank you for the cross. We thank you for our Savior, Jesus Christ.
We thank you for the fact that we are your children. We can trust in you as we seek to live for your kingdom, Lord. May the words that you have. have spoken to us that Jesus uttered on on that mount....
