OK. Let's pray. Lord, we thank you that you are so pleased to dwell with sinners. Lord, you are the one that is called sinful men to be the leaders of this church, our pastors and elders, myself, we're all sinners, and you have called every person in this room that is called to be a part of your body.
We're all sinners, and we come and acknowledge that none of us worships you perfectly, none of us is perfectly balanced at all times. And yet you call us to grow in our worship, and we pray more than anything that we would be a people marked by humility, Lord, that when we come and worship you, that humbleness would just grip our hearts, that we would resist the devil in our worship and so be able to acknowledge and experience your presence in greater and greater ways. We pray, Father, that our church would grow in its sense of expression that people would not feel hindered or feel judged or, Lord, be tempted to judge others as they seek to express themselves in worship. Lord, that we would, just have our eyes focused on you but also focused on encouraging one another and we thank you in the name of Jesus Christ.
All God's people said, Amen. OK. I count it a privilege to be able to share the word with you guys this morning. I'm still recovering from a cold I caught last Friday, so about 9 days ago, just hanging on so you can pray for me.
But open up to Isaiah 6. We'll eventually get to Isaiah 6. We've got a number of different passages we'll be looking at on the, The screen behind me as we lead up to that. Is it possible, Carl, to shut these top lights off?...
