We thank you. Yeah, good morning. I see you too. Yeah. Good morning to those in the world of podcasting. Thank you for all those that just download the 1000s of downloads on on Amazon. Right Well, let's go we were into the Scripture now where there were there we are in and we are at the Gospel of Matthew chapter six, verse 25. Therefore I tell you do not worry about your life. What you will eat or drink or about your body or what you will wear. Is not life more important than than food than, than the body more than clothes. Look at the birds of the air. They do not sow or reap or store away in barns and yet their heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not more valuable then they? Can any one of them by worrying add a single hour to their life. And why do you worry about your clothes? See how the flowers of the field grow? They do not labor nor spin Yet I tell you that even Solomon in all his splendor, was dressed like one of these and if is that God can close the grass of the field which is here today. And tomorrow is thrown away into the fire. How much more will he clove you? Oh ye of little faith. That's me this morning, oh ye of little faith, so do not worry. That's the point that I want to get to this morning, wherever you are, do not worry about your life. God is God is with you this morning. God has not left you nor forsaken you. He is with you to the very end of this age. And if you have just a glance up if you have a Bible this morning in Matthew chapter six, verse 19. Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where morphin and firming destroy and where thieves break in and steal But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven where moth and vermin do not destroy and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is there. Your heart will be also Lord this morning. I pray for my heart this morning, Lord. Lord, I pray for my thinking, my understanding Lord, that dear God that you will draw us in any one this morning Lord that is worrying about certain situations in life. Anyone that is worrying Lord, about certain areas of their life, Lord, that Father, you will just draw them closer to you, Father, that You will just draw us in this morning. So Father, wherever we are, we just pray Father that You will guide us and lead us in paths of righteousness, Lord, that You will just give us rest this morning, Lord for our hearts and our minds today, Lord, Father, for those that may be worrying about just the general run of life. We pray, Father, that the love of God will be upon us this morning. And Father that You will strengthen us and guide us and lead us farther into areas of newness Father, we believe father that there may be there may be people around us that may be pulling us down. Lord, we believe Lord, that there may be people that may be trying to bring issues to us, Lord that are not healthy. So Lord, we pray this morning, Lord that you were you will bless our enemy, that you will remove those Lord that are causing us issues and farther than you will lead us into paths of righteousness of Father we pray for those that are going through real hard troubles at the moment that are going through real heavy areas of life, Father that just feel very downtrodden that feel very turned over in a roundabout way Lord and Father we just pray for hearts today. Father we pray for hearts for any one Father God that has got anyone Lord that is trying to come in and capture Father God and trying to take them to the left Nether or the right Father, we just pray that you will just draw your draw your sons and your daughters closer to you. Father, we believe we trust in you this morning. And Lord we pray for the audience that is around us in our general walk with you, Father that You will keep those that will keep us Lord a new remove those that trying to stumble us and father you will strengthen us in the name of Jesus and father you will put around us those that will carry us in prayer Lord, those that Lord that will will lift us up when our legs are weary Lord, that You will just put people around us Lord that will just draw us and help us in our walk with you. Father, we pray that you will remove all those father that have got a better word towards us all those Father God that have got anger towards us all of all those Father God that may be judgmental to what we may be thinking or doing or acting, because Lord, we're only accountable to you. So Father, I pray this morning, Lord, that you will lead us in paths of righteousness. Father, we understand the structure of the church we understand Lord, the formation and the building of the Church of Jesus Christ and Lord, the layers and the areas of the authority of the Church of Jesus Christ, not of the worldly church father, but of the Church of the Bible, of the gospel of the Church of Jesus Christ. And Father, we thank You that You will surround us this morning with people Lord that will help us Lord to get through and to navigate through life when we're tired and when we're weary. Lord, we pray for those that feel just downtrodden today, Lord that you will just touch their hearts and you'll strengthen them and just let the love of God just rest on them this morning wherever they are across this earth. We will not worry about a live load we will not worry Lord what we will eat what we will wear. Lord as as the Scripture says we will not worry father God we will just look to you. We seek. We look, we knock we ask we come to you this morning. As sisters and brothers Lord and Father we pray that if any one of us Lord is if in a fearful position, that you will remove the fear in the name of Jesus. If any one of us Lord is worried that you will remove the worry in the name of Jesus if any one of us Lord is stressed, remove the stress. Help us Lord for those that have got Mike to make big decisions in lives today. Lord As we look to you as we look to the cross of Calvary, as we focus on Christ, Lord the as the weeks are starting to accelerate really quickly Lord as the as timing is quickening father is there as there is a real quick move of time. And as the seasons are blowing in and blowing out farther, we see the Knights drawing in. And we pray for those Lord that worry about the winter time that is coming in the turning on the electric, the turning on of the gas that the issues that we are all facing Father God, But Lord, we thank You, Lord, that You are telling us that you will provide all our needs according to buy riches in glory. So low, remove the worry of the electric switch, remove the worry of the switching the gas, remove the worry of feeding and carrying the children through to the next season of their life. Lord, Father, we pray for parents that are stressed out this morning, Lord that are worried about the next couple of weeks as their children are going up to the next levels of classes of schools, universities for parents, Lord, that their children are going to university that are moving away, Lord, all the areas of just general living, Lord. Help us just to remember, Lord, that we are human beings, Lord, and sometimes we try to be so supernatural, we we get ourselves in a bit of a pickle in a little bit of a holy model. So Lord this morning, I pray Father, that you will help us realize who we are in Christ, that we are sons and daughters of the living God. That there are family issues around us that there are family issues within us there are areas of life Lord, where we need you like never before. So Lord, we thank you that we are saved and we are blessed and highly favored, Lord, and we can shout and dance all around the text but Lord, you see our hearts you see how we truly are Lord, Lord, we can beat the drum skin of church we can shout hallelujah all day long. Lord, we can bounce up and down and we can say this we can say that Lord we can shout 1000 hallelujahs. Lord, we can praise you all day long. But Lord, lip service, Lord, you're not after lip service. Lord, you're not asked the Lord the paganistic way you Lord, the the Pharisees and the Sadducees. Lord, you see our heart. So Lord, I pray, Father, that you will draw all those that just feel lost this morning all those that feel weary and tired, that you will strengthen them, Lord, and you will be with us in the name of Jesus. But today, Lord, is a good day. Because this is the day that the Lord has made a shower. Rejoice and be glad. And Lord, I understand that you made this day and today, Lord is your day. So Father, whatever and whoever are before us today on the other side, Lord of these mics on the other side of this camera, we just pray Father, that you will strengthen everyone in the name of Jesus. Lord, I thank you that you are making a way where there is no way for parents for grandparents for humanity this morning. Lord, I ask you that your strength and Lord the parents that are worried about their children, Lord in their academic stretch, that you will bring peace to them. We pray for those that are on holiday today that are worried about coming back to work. Be with them in the name of Jesus. We pray for those that are stressed out about Universal Credit that are worried about money that are worried about paying their social rent that worried about paying their private rent not worried about their job and Lord how how is this financial issue going to help us for Lord we're worried about the diesel price we're worried about the petrol price we're we're worried about flicking and switching the gas on Father we pray that you will take the worry of just general living away from any one of us that he's worried about the petrol price worried about the food issue worried about the heating bill, the the utilities cranking everything up, Lord, we pray this morning, that you will just bring peace to all those that are bold enough to say, You know what, yeah, I am worried of what lies ahead, but because my Redeemer lives I can face tomorrow. You know, there are many false hallelujahs out there in the church. There are many false lip service going on. There is a lot of errors of for shouting, but just like the lady at the well. I need live in water. Just like the lady with the issue. That had to touch the hem of His garment. I've got to get to Jesus. I've got to get to Jesus. I'm hungry for Jesus. Probably like I've never been before in my life. If I'm completely honest, I'm so hungry for Jesus. I'm almost tired myself up in knots. I'm so hungry. I want Jesus like never before. I want this holiness I long my heart is like it just is just I can't even express I can't even find the vocabulary. I can't even find the Academic Word. I can't because it's not of this world. Because you can't box God in words and in language and in feelings. He is the great I Am and I want more of you, God, God, I want more of you. I want more of your holy presence. I want more of your, your good lord, I just want more of you. I want more of your guidance, Lord, healing miracles, everything before me, every everyone around me, Lord, all the issues that are going on in life, Father, within the church, at the church, at work at home, children, this that, Lord, everything, God, I need miracles and I'm not frightened to ask Lord publicly and openly Lord, I want I need miracles, Father, Come Holy Spirit. And I love asking you Lord, I love being open and saying, Lord, help me in the name of Jesus. Guide me, strength for me. Show me the way Lord because Lord I feel like I'm in the wilderness like the Israelites were that was stomping around with their Dr. Martens on for 40 odd years, whatever, that wherever long that was, whatever, you know, stomping around in life, making my own decisions, kicking the boats everywhere, for me ends up in the air. What has God done for me? What has he done familiar? He fed me from heaven. He gave me manner. He fed us our shoes did not wear out. Thank you, Jesus. God is with us. But sometimes I really believe the church within the UK needs to come off on this lip service jumping up and down shouting Hallelujah. And go Do you know what let's just pray for the general run of life today and say, Lord, help me because Lord, I've got to get to work this afternoon or tomorrow Lord, we got to feed the kids. Love we got we got to solve this universal credit issue out Laura. I've got to salt this retirement package out load the insurance company has given me drama. Lord, the utility bills, Lord are just driving me insane or don't want to beat me head against the wall without me Lord. You know what sometimes? Do we really pray for just the general drum skin of life? Or do we supercharge everything? You know what, sometimes it's just better to be real and go, Lord, Pastor, I've had a bad day to day, sister brother out about day to day, you know what I've had? I spent hours on the phone today. And I've got nowhere. Come on, Lord, help us to be honest, and open and real. Help Lord, the church within the UK to be real and to be honest, and to be open and say, You know what, I haven't got an answer for this one. But let's look to Jesus. I don't know how we're gonna get through this. But God's never failed us. I'm not quite sure what the way forward is. Instead, we go to our spiritual directors, we sit in front of the board of directors of the church and let's let's plan our way out of this poverty. Oh, my Lord, help us Jesus. Lord, my God shall supply all my needs according to their riches and glory. And whatever our worries are, whatever your fears are, just simply say that sister has put on that on the on the social helped me help me, Lord, that is so honest and so open. Help me. Help me. Help me, Lord. There is freedom. In just saying openly and publicly Please, Lord, help me. Lord, guide me today. Come Holy Spirit. Do you know what there is power in the open and the honesty of sharing how you are inside yourselves. So Lord this morning, helped me in my walk with you. Guide me and strength for me. I love you, Jesus. I love you so much. But Lord, I want more. So this morning, Lord, my prayer is for all of us. Lord, carry us. Speak to us, water us. Feed us and strengthen us. Oh, I love you, Jesus. I love you God. I love you, Lord. Come Holy Spirit. Bless my holy brothers this morning. I can feel the Holy nests burning on my neck.

Glenn Walsh: 19:49

At the heart the mouth dot speaker hallelujah. Yes. There was a few things that you were praying there been one of them when you mentioned the wilderness. For some reason I'm looking at Mark and even mark one is so full of stuff. The Spirit immediately drove him. This is Jesus out into the wilderness. Why spirit driving? Don't be afraid of the wilderness. It's where God takes us to do his mooing. Amen. 40 years in the wilderness. That's a long time. What have you got in the wilderness? Not a lot, know that. Jesus was there. And he was tempted by Satan. We are in such a battle.

Reverend Ben Cooper: 20:26

Yes, thank you. Thank you.

Glenn Walsh: 20:29

Not only are we in the world and not part of it, hasn't the world come in a church in so many ways, and a battle is in the church as well. And Jesus sustaining mark one, in verse 23, Jesus is in the synagogue, and immediately there was in their synagogue, a man with an unclean spirit. And he cried out, what have you come to do with us? Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? Yes, he had. Yes, he came to destroy the works of the evil one. Then in verse 39, he went throughout all Galilee, preaching in their synagogues, or the church, and casting out demons, wow. And casting out demons. It hasn't changed. We are in that same world, the spiritual world, our battle, as it says in Ephesians, one is not against sorry, Ephesians six, starting at verse 10, Ephesians six, verse 10, finally, be strong in the Lord,

Reverend Ben Cooper: 21:29

with his strength, in the Lord in the Lord Jesus,

Glenn Walsh: 21:33

and in the strength of His might, to put him on, put on the whole armor of God, that you may able, you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil, come on, but we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers of this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. Therefore, come on, brothers and sisters, we need to do this. Our Walk is a Walk of Faith is a life of faith, we will really date yeah, thank Jesus lives on through us. Therefore, take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand. And having done all to stand firm stand, therefore, having fastened on the belt of truth, and have been put on the breastplate of righteousness, and the shoes for your feet, have important on the readiness given by the gospel of peace. Thank you doing the case. Brothers and sisters, in all circumstances, everything in all circumstances, take up the shield of faith with which you can extinguish all the flaming darts of the evil one. Thank you take the helmet of salvation. Guard your minds, brothers and sisters gaunt, guard your minds, put on the helmet of salvation. You're saved. Nothing can separate you from the love of God. Nothing we say it every week. Romans eight, there is nothing, no height, no depth. No, not the past, not the present, not the future. No angel, no demon. Nothing in all creation can separate us from the love of God. That's in Christ Jesus.

Reverend Ben Cooper: 23:25

We love that Lord,

Glenn Walsh: 23:26

put on that helmet of salvation. And take the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. Amen. Jesus overcame the devil by saying it is written, the overcome the pharmacies by saying it is written, even said to them, but your traditions, by your traditions, you nullify the Word of God, beware of religion. I believe that's a word this morning. Beware of religion. Very true. It has an appearance of godliness. But it's not all religion can do is tell you what you've done wrong. It can't help you. We're in a gospel of grace. Yes, praying at all times in the spirit with all prayer and supplication. Come on, he's for us. He's for us. Someone told me just a couple of Sundays ago was preaching in a different church. Someone came up to me afterwards and said, they tried to they tried to tell me that some foods are unclean.

Reverend Ben Cooper: 24:26

As a spirit of religion, but a kebab last night

Glenn Walsh: 24:29

good. I love kebabs. I actually pork and bacon as well. Jesus said because I believe in the word of God. Yes, Lord, Cheyenne Mark, Mark seven. Tell us Glen, come on. And he said start in verse seven, chapter seven, verse 18. And he said to them, then are you also without understanding? Do you not see that whatever goes into a person from outside cannot defy all them. Thank you since it enters not his heart but your stomach and then expelled actually the Greek says none goes to the toilet. Yeah, that's why he declared Jesus. Thus, Jesus declared and I'm not going to argue with him all foods clean. And he said, what comes out of a person is what default him. religion to be gone from us is what makes someone unclean. Yeah. For from within, out of the heart of man come evil thoughts sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery, coveting, wickedness, deceit, sensuality, envy, slander, Freud, foolishness. All these evil things come with from within a person and they default. The person. Yeah, Lord, we thank You that under the New Covenant, the temple curtain was torn in two from top to bottom. Amen. You your heart, Jesus, through Your Holy Spirit is to be with your people. Always. How can we go to church when we are church? We are the temples of your Holy Spirit and a lord these things that come out from out of our hearts. They're the things that we REPENT OF and put to death. Yes, well, and your word says if we sin and confess our sin, you are faithful and just to forgive our sin and purify us from all unrighteousness. Lord, Never will you leave us Never will you forsake us. We are your temples. And we pray, Lord Jesus today you'll fill us afresh with your Holy Spirit. We can't walk this alone. We can't overcome in the flesh. We need your Holy Spirit abiding, working and ask cooperating with you. Amen. So we pray Lord, revive us individually revisable in church and let us shine in the darkness of this world.

Donny Stockburn: 26:58

Oh man, yeah, man. Thank you, Lord, I just want to start playing for the discouragement in a church order. No, in your children's hearts, Lord. We've all had so much discouragement. We prayed about this Sunday, and God's out it on my art for quite a time and our supplies. We pick that up straight away today about discouragement. And Father God, that feeling failed again. Oh, someone might have said you hypocrite. Don't you go to church. I look at what you do. And and stuff like that. It's over and over again. We get it all through our lives in a Christian life. And you get to that point where you say, I just want a peaceful life. I just want I'm just getting out of it. I just want a peaceful life. And Simon thinks that's good news to him, Lord, but you got different plans are failures, oh real times are getting it wrong, a real. Paul said I'm far from perfect, but one day, Christ will make me perfect. Mistakes and weaknesses, exercises. Try betrayal of them who follow us all our Christian lives. But so too, will the goodness and mercy of God be right behind us the whole journey in his life. God will not give us up. God is love. And his love is permanent. I love that. I love that word ALLAH that is love is permanent. And Father God has given us he's out on this. And he said he will finish the work that he's begun in us. This discouragement I've found in my own life quite a lot recently. The more active we become, the more it comes. This discouragement that we suffer Lord gets us to a point where Peter got to. He said a go fishing. He'd seen it all. But he said I'm going fishing and sometimes we can be like that. Yeah, but Peter was the man who are winning matches. He fell on his knees in that boat at bowling. He recognized he was a sinful man. He recognized the ad synonym. And all his life which is all those years of ministry Jesus. It did nothing but foul. He tried to walk on the water Lord Jesus were under is five blew out. He was reprimanded by Jesus was things he said is told off. He failed so many times. He had a trial Gambia he made promises to Jesus, I'll stick with you. I'll die with you. And I come from his art, but we blew out when it came to it. When it came to the testing. Peters life was full of finalists, and I love him for Lord it brings life to me brings brings back the reality of Christ, that Jesus on shore that morning, restored him. And you know, you'd have thought that someone who denied Christ publicly three times would have been a very last man that Jesus said Peter on you on building my church. Yeah, you are a walk. Didn't say to me, you are a voc and to you, I will give the keys to the kingdom of God all power. He gave it to PA who failed so many times that don't encourage you that this love of Jesus, he sees our heart. He sees our souls, he hears our cries. He sees our troubles. Amen. And Lord, we just asked you now, to blow away all the discouragement we get to shine your light on it the truth, Lord, showers Peter, do to us what you did to Peter, Lord, and Father God, you paid for Peter, you when Satan had 50. But you prayed for him. And you've prayed for us as well, Lord in there in John 17. Lord, I think verse 2026, I love it. You prayed for us. You said I pray for all believers who come? Because they believe in this message. Believe in me, I pray for now Father, and Lord, You prayed for us exactly as you stand for prayer that our faith would hold in these times a testing and his times of attack slow from the enemy. Father God, you said your your love will hold. Your love is permanent. And Father God, we pray now in Jesus name for everyone is feeling discouraged, Lord, that this light of truth, this power of your word and promises, you gave your oath that you would keep us through these days. And a lord. Although we felt like we betrayed you. Although, like we may have done in so many ways, not living up to this not living up to that. We fall all the time, Lord witnesses. But Lord, you've given us so many words to reassure us. And I just want to read you one. And I just noticed that sometimes. God wrote this letter to me 2800 years ago. It's in Isaiah 54 firsthand. And this is for everyone. This is for all those Jesus paid prideful, for the mountains shall depart, and the hills will be removed. But my kindness shall not depart from you, or at God, Lord, and he says, nor shall my covenant of peace be removed from you, says the Lord, who has mercy on you. has mercy on us. That's the word of God. Written 2800 years of sound, I don't know what it was. Doesn't really matter about the years but you wrote it long. Yeah, yeah, that's for us now living in these days. Lord, I just pray that you will get this message. So to everyone, thank every one of you, especially in the ministry, Lord, who are feeling discouraged. Yeah, blessing to feel like they failed Lord, strength. This is a word. Look at Peters life, how you don't get a bigger failure than you would be thought it was the last one God chose to build his Church on. But Lord, You restored him. You loved him, and he loved you, Lord, and that was enough. And we Lord, we just pray that you will strengthen all those feeling discouraged, Lord, this lie, this worker the enemy, Lord, we've asked you to cast it out now in the name of Jesus, and fill us with your Holy Spirit. Lord, we know we don't deserve any of this. But you love us, Lord. You love us and died for us and Father, we just pray that you will fill us fresh and know. Like you did pee on the morning. Morning, Lord when you met him and reinstated him into the church. Peter, do you love me? Don, do you love me? Yes. Yes, love and you love me? Yes. Glen. Andy. Yes, we do love you. And we are cold. And he will say it phone and all those who belong to you. Which you thank you in Jesus name, Lord. Amen. Amen.

Glenn Walsh: 33:59

Amen. John 17, Dali's quoting Jesus says, I do not ask that you take them out of the world, but keep them from the evil one. And out of the heart, the mouth dot speak. In John 1724 is the heart of Jesus. Father, I desire I desire that they also this is us, whom You have given me, may be with me. Well, I thank you. Where does Jesus desire us to be with Him? Amen. Lord, when they do that she's hot. That's his desire over you, over me. We thank You, Lord, that nothing can snatch us from your hands once again, Lord, and thank you that we are your desire, whatever image we have of ourselves, none of us. We're not many of us who have noble birth, or have anything of high standing in this world. But you choose the lonely and you know us can pletely you know, our past our present and our future moon, Lord, and your banner over us is your desire of your heart. You spoke these words, your desire, yes leaves us. We thank You, Lord, that You came for the last shape. We thank You, Lord, that You came for the sick for the broken for the sickness. And you don't call the servants you call us your friends.

Reverend Ben Cooper: 35:27

Thank you, Jesus.

Glenn Walsh: 35:28

Thank You, Jesus, that we are your friends that we are your beloved, and that we are the desire of your heart. And we love you because you first loved us. It's a response to your love that we love you. Thank you, Jesus. Yeah, more of you. Amen.

Reverend Ben Cooper: 35:46

So God bless.

Andy Hammond: 36:08

Reverend Ben Cooper: 36:14

Andy Hammond: 36:18

Unreal, why spend money on what is not bread, and your labor on what does not satisfy? Listen, listen to me, and eat what is good. And your soul will delight in the riches of fear. Give here and come to me. Hear me that your soul may live. And I will make an everlasting covenant with you. Yeah, hallelujah. Such an amazing script. Thank you, Jesus. And Jesus, when he went into the temple, in John 737, refers to Isaiah Scripture, Jesus stood and said in a loud voice. If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me and drink. Whoever believes in me as Scripture said streams of living water will flow from within him. By this he meant the Spirit, whom those who believed in him were later to receive. So just believe in Jesus. That's the invitation that Jesus gives out here. Come to me, come to me. And that's what we proclaim. Week after week, over the airwaves here to Jesus, you come to Jesus, and He will satisfy your needs. And in Joel, to first 28, it says, And afterwards, I'll pour out my spirit on all people, your sons and daughters will prophesy. We are old men will drain dreams. Your young men will see visions. Even on my servants, both men and women, I will pour out my Spirit in those days. That's amazing, isn't it? Not sure where I fit into that category. I seem to have dreams, but perhaps that makes me old. But occasionally, I do get a vision. So, but finally, I wanted to look at one Corinthians chapter two, wisdom from the spirit. Yes. And again, another quote from Isaiah 64. Now I have seen no ear has heard no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love him. Wow. Or, or it says, those who wait for him. So if you've been waiting for, for him, you will.

Glenn Walsh: 39:28

I was already there and already

Andy Hammond: 39:31

know I've seen no ear has heard no mind tears can see what God has prepared for those who love Him, or those who won't wait for him. We love each other. Yeah. So God has revealed it to us by spirit. So Father, we just thank you. Thank you that when you return to your Father in heaven, you didn't lead us leave us in limbo or anything like that, but you sent him Holy Spirit to us, so that we could have that strength have that power, exercised the gifts that we read about in in Scripture, you've given each one of us at least one gift of spirit. And Father, some of us got more. And we all want, I always pray, and I want more, Lord, yes, well, we need more. We need that power, we need your Holy Spirit. So that we get that strength just to get up in the morning sometimes, that to carry on through another day. Although sometimes we feel weary. But you must have been weary as well, Lord, when you walk this earth. And but you give us that encouragement, we've only got to pick out your word and read scriptures, that will give us encouragement. So I encourage everyone today to thank you deeper in His Word, hallelujah, deeper in His Word. And this will be transformation in your own life, it will bring that transformation, we get closer and closer to Jesus. So we thank You, Father, thank you, that you are with us, no matter what trials we get, no matter what trials. And we we pray, Father, that you will help us to go out and be witnesses for you. And I heard a good illustration, I think it was yesterday about who we are as Christians. Maybe we're, we can have our yacht in the harbor. And we can clean it every day, we can check out the soils, and we can clean the decks. But if we never go out of Harbor, we're not experiencing the exhilaration and excitement of sailing. And as Christians, if we stay, and don't give our testimony, don't give our witness. We lose the excitement of what it is to be living labor, believers in Christ. So we need to be out of good and strong and powerful witness. I know that's not going to be us every day. But we can sit and ask God to give us that strength and that power, put words into our mouth. When we communicate with other people. Father, I just pray that you will be with us today. All those who are watching, strengthen us on this listening to this word today, that you will strengthen them, that you will give encouragement to them, that you give them the power of Holy Spirit to come and give them that strength so that they can be witnesses for you. And that come on to at the end of Matthew, go and be my witnesses. We pray Father that that will be each one of us today. Just to give a word of encouragement sometimes that will be life saving to someone. Yes, long a kindness to someone. A word of encouragement. That's all it takes. That makes all the difference. And Father we just give you our praise. And hallelujah. Someone just put on

Unknown: 44:02

Andy Hammond: 44:04

Andy Hammond: 44:48

I've just turned over the page in one Corinthians. And I've got underlined in my Bible. Verse 16 of chapter three. Don't you know that you yourself of God's temple. And that's God's Spirit lives in you.

Glenn Walsh: 45:05

I've got a bone. So a minute ago I tapped Ben and pointed out that verse 16, do you not know that you are God's temple and that God's Spirit dwells in you? And also, I was looking at one Corinthians two, verse nine, where and I'm glad you carried on. No, I've seen no ear has heard no heart as imagined what God has prepared for those who love Him. But these things God has revealed to us through the Spirit, or man through the Spirit, For the Spirit searches everything, even the depths of God. Wow. Yeah. Good speaking. Oh, man. It's funny. I was having a chat with someone just outside earlier, who said she loves these mornings because the way it flows, this is not rehearsed. We don't we sit here before we go live and say he's ready. And we were saying none of us, likewise help but the Holy Spirit's talking to us and to everyone listening this morning. You need to we need to so to the spirit, the we are God's temple. We are yes file God's temple. And the Spirit dwells in us. Sorry, handy, I have to say.

Andy Hammond: 46:16

I've just turned over a few more pages and carrying on at the end of chapter six of one Corinthians Do not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you ever received from God, you're not your own. You were bought at a price therefore honor God with your party. Father, I just don't know what more to say really, because we come to you. And we give thanks to you for what you've done. You offered up your own body. You offered up your life so that we could have life and we remember that now by taking the spread

Donny Stockburn: 47:16

y'all just want to go back over a few things and open it this man is the CEO like it's ministered to me, pulled me up out the water so to speak, Faith wise, many times this this life of Peter Lord God chose out of all men on this earth to be the rock that he built his church on. And Peter was first to confess that Jesus was the Son of God. Pos faith guy Val po who broke promises POS so violently cut off to the gods even gifts m&e, Peter, who wept his eyes out when he failed God. He is the first in the water to meet Jesus on the shore. All these failures, yet God chose him to build his Church on to me gave the keys to the kingdom of heaven. Lord, my faith has been lifted so many times, by Your grace and mercy. Lord, no one can understand the living God. But the wisdom, Lord, the wisdom of your choice, and you chose us, Lord, you each one of us, you've seen in our hearts, just as you saw in Peters, Lord, that we would fail many, many times. Thank you. We loved you. We loved you. We loved everything about your Lord. And we believe in you. And we give you thanks. Now, right now, Lord, you loved us so much. You've got your only son, that Oh, who believe in Him will have eternal life. And this is the blood that paid the price. And we thank you for Lord Jesus name. Amen.

And as we say, God bless to everybody this morning, as we've been in 52 minutes.

He will provide for you he has provided for you. And he will continue to brothers and sisters. And he's just going to share something about the Bible. Not about the complete entirety of it. But what you can do with that, and then we'll just say goodbye, God bless. Yeah.

Andy Hammond: 51:29

Yeah, as I say, every week we got scriptures here, New Testament or a Bible, if you haven't got one, and you would like one, or maybe you got a friend who you think might like to receive one, and you can give them a copy of God's word. This is brings life. And that's why as member of good news for everyone, I give these away in all kinds of situations. This is clay, it does contain the message of salvation for everyone. Amen. And as it says, In one Corinthians three and 15, Christ died for our sins, according to the scriptures, that He was buried. He was raised on the third day. And he appeared to His disciples after that, just to prove it, and he is alive. And well then we can be in relationship
