My name is, is Carlos. I'm one of the pastors here. For those of you who don't know who I am, it's my privilege to come before you to preach the word of God. Pastor Milton gets the day off, I guess you would call it that.
He's here with us, but he gets to just kick back and relax, and Lord willing, enjoy, and so, in order to, see to it that that's more likely to happen, would you pray with me? Let's take a moment to pray. A dear gracious heavenly Father, We come before you in the name of Jesus. And we quiet our hearts before you.
We approach your throne of grace with boldness. To receive mercy and to find help in our time of need, we need for you to reveal yourself to us, that Lord, you would give us eyes to behold you and ears to hear what you wanna say to us. I pray, Lord, on behalf of my family here, my brothers and sisters in Christ, that Lord, you would, open the eyes of our understanding. That we would behold you through the pages of scripture.
Lord, I pray that if there be anyone who is here. Who does not know you. If there is anyone who is here who has yet to be born again. If there is anyone who is here, Lord, who is in need of the miraculous work of salvation that only you can accomplish, I pray for that person, for those persons....
