Miserable, poor, blind, and naked. and we were in that state, spiritually of our own doing, and we deserve nothing from God. And yet God reached out to us and lavished His grace upon us. Amen.
And so when we meet the needs in the physical realm of people through a ministry such as this, we are, we are practicing the gospel. We are reenacting the gospel. And so this is a great opportunity to reenact the gospel and just to re-experience the gospel by showing the same generous love that has been given to you and I, unworthy sinners that we are. Anyway, man, there's a lot of people here today.
I'm nervous. and just want to encourage you guys to be patient with us. We understand that as our attendance is growing, that we're running short on seats, and I know that's a challenge for some of you, but we are working fast and furious with EFC. And coming up with some ideas on how we can reconfigure some things to make seating.
More accommodating for you guys. So just be patient with us, by the beginning of 2008, so that's coming up. We very well may have our service times and stuff reconfigured to where there's a more even distribution of people in our 1st and 2nd service so as to make for more space. And so be praying about that and, and be patient with us and keep coming, keep attending until then rather than going to some other church that's not quite as crowded....
