Noah Graves: Well, good morning and happy Mother's Day.
Noah Graves: I think it's just so cool that we're in the book of 2 Timothy right now on Mother's Day, because uh if you look throughout the book, you see that uh the way that Timothy became a follower of Christ is his mother and his grandmother passed the faith to him.
Noah Graves: Uh just shows how important of a role that uh mothers play in the spiritual lives of their children.
Noah Graves: And we just look across here at MBC, and that's what our mothers are doing.
Noah Graves: You know, our children's program on Sunday mornings are packed out.
Noah Graves: Uh Wednesdays at Iwana, we have tons of kids there, BBS, so just be encouraged, know that you're serving the Lord.
Noah Graves: Um, just thank you to each and every one of our mothers here this morning.
Noah Graves: Uh it's just so amazing uh all the things that you do for uh this church.
Noah Graves: And so as I said this morning, we are in 2 Timothy.
Noah Graves: We are continuing on our sermon series called Passing the Faith to the Next Generation.
Noah Graves: And so today we're coming up to 2 Timothy chapter 3, verses 16 to 17.
Noah Graves: And so for me in my life, I remember one of the scariest, most terrifying moments that I've ever been through was my junior year of college.
Noah Graves: And so for me, I went to Liberty University down in Lynchburg, Virginia, and I remember it was my junior year, and it was like the day before spring break, and most people had already left and gone back, and there was just a couple, a couple of us that were still there for another day.
Noah Graves: And I remember that evening there was nothing really going on, and you know, I figured, why not kill the time and just go out for a little hike?
Noah Graves: So I decided to go to a nearby mountain and went out for a hike after dinner.
Noah Graves: I had it in my water bottle and put on some headphones, listened to a great worship album.
Noah Graves: Uh, I was just having a blast, having a good time, and so there I was out there hiking hiking across this mountain, and then I started to notice that you know the sun was starting to come down, it was getting a little bit darker outside, so I figured, you know, this would be a good time to turn back.
Noah Graves: So I started walking back, and and then I was starting to have a little bit of a difficult time finding back to where I came from.
Noah Graves: Um and then at that point I noticed my phone battery was getting low, and after a few minutes, my phone died.
Noah Graves: But thankfully, I had my Apple Watch.
Noah Graves: Um I was using my Apple Watch as a flashlight, looking around.
Noah Graves: Uh I saw this like abandoned house somewhere.
Noah Graves: And then a few moments later, the Apple Watch died.
Noah Graves: And so at that point, it was literally pitch black.
Noah Graves: I was out there on a mountain in the middle of nowhere, having no idea where I was.
Noah Graves: I remember like the week before I listened to this Francis Chan sermon where he said that he was going for this spiritual experience and he was gonna sleep out in the woods for a whole weekend with nothing, and there were moments where I saw a pile of leaves and I was like, this might be my bed tonight.
Noah Graves: And I was absolutely terrified.
Noah Graves: And thankfully, eventually I did make it back to my car and still alive today.
Noah Graves: But I do remember throughout that journey back to my car, there were multiple times where I'd come up to these signs.
Noah Graves: I'd come up to these signs and they would have two arrows pointing in different directions.
Noah Graves: And they would say, if you follow this arrow this way, you can go down this trail.
Noah Graves: But if you follow the other arrow, you can go down this other trail.
Noah Graves: And so for me at the time, I couldn't remember which trail I came from, so I had no idea which one to choose from.
Noah Graves: And every time I'd have to make that choice, it was terrifying.
Noah Graves: And so this morning, as we look at 2 Timothy chapter 3, a similar choice is going to be placed before us this morning.
Noah Graves: But for us, it's not going to be a choice between two trails on a mountain.
Noah Graves: It's going to be two voices.
Noah Graves: Two voices that we can choose to listen to this morning.
Noah Graves: And like me on that mountain, one of those voices will lead us back to where we ought to be and back to safety.
Noah Graves: Well, the other arrow and the other voice will lead us further into the mountain, further into the darkness and further into being lost.
Noah Graves: So here we are, 2 Timothy chapter 3, verses 16 to 17.
Noah Graves: The Apostle Paul writes this All scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.
Noah Graves: So a hypothetical question for you.
Noah Graves: If you were the enemy, this may seem strange, but if you were the enemy and you were tasked with trying to get humanity to turn from their relationship from God into the book of Genesis, what would be step one for you?
Noah Graves: What would be like the first step in your plan?
Noah Graves: What would you do to try and get them to turn from God?
Noah Graves: Because in Genesis, God creates humanity, gives them the gift of life, and then he gives them one command, one rule, one thing not to do.
Noah Graves: He says, Do not eat from the tree of knowledge of good and evil.
Noah Graves: Because if they do, they'll die.
Noah Graves: How would you try and get Adam and Eve to turn from that?
Noah Graves: Because you would think that would be difficult, right?
Noah Graves: I mean, they literally just heard God say that.
Noah Graves: Well, let's see what the enemy does in Genesis 3.
Noah Graves: Now the serpent was more crafty than any of the wild animals the Lord God had made.
Noah Graves: He said to the woman, Did God really say you must not eat from any tree in the garden?
Noah Graves: Did you catch that there?
Noah Graves: Did you see what step one of the devil's plan was?
Noah Graves: The father of lies?
Noah Graves: The murderer?
Noah Graves: What is his game plan to try and get Adam and Eve to turn from God?
Noah Graves: I think it's those first four words there.
Noah Graves: What did God really say?
Noah Graves: Did God really did God did God really say?
Noah Graves: See, at this moment, the devil brings into the equation this question of, what is it God really said?
Noah Graves: Will you really die if you eat from that tree?
Noah Graves: Surely you won't die, right?
Noah Graves: God's withholding something from you.
Noah Graves: Did God really say?
Noah Graves: Maybe we can eat from this tree.
Noah Graves: See, I think today, thousands of years later, we still hear those four words in our lives.
Noah Graves: Did God really say?
Noah Graves: Did God really say that marriage is only between one man and one woman?
Noah Graves: I mean, it's 2026.
Noah Graves: We can't be excluding things.
Noah Graves: Did God really say that's the only way for marriage?
Noah Graves: Did God really say that he's the only way to salvation?
Noah Graves: I mean, there's so many religions, there's so many people that are genuinely seeking eternal life.
Noah Graves: Surely it's exclusive for us to say that Jesus is the only way.
Noah Graves: Did God really say he's the only way?
Noah Graves: Have you heard those four words echo in your life before?
Noah Graves: Have you seen a loved one, someone you care about, plagued, deceived by those four words?
Noah Graves: What did God really say?
Noah Graves: I think a lot of us have.
Noah Graves: I think a lot of us have seen the effects of listening to those four words.
Noah Graves: Doubting God, doubting his goodness, doubting his love.
Noah Graves: And it's led humanity further into that mountain, further into the darkness, further into spiritual lostness.
Noah Graves: Here in 2 Timothy, the Apostle Paul is responding to those four words.
Noah Graves: Here in 2 Timothy, the Apostle Paul is defending what God has said.
Noah Graves: He says, all scripture is breathed out by God.
Noah Graves: Paul is tearing down the enemy's attack against God's word.
Noah Graves: Paul is defending what God has truly said.
Noah Graves: That question of, did God really say?
Noah Graves: the Apostle Paul is saying, yes, God really has said something.
Noah Graves: God has made his word known.
Noah Graves: He has breathed his word into the scriptures.
Noah Graves: If you want to hear what God really said, you can open up your Bible and see for yourself the very words of God, the creator of heaven and earth, the one who gave us life has spoken.
Noah Graves: He has breathed his word into the Bible.
Noah Graves: You can hear what God really said in the scriptures.
Noah Graves: But what does that actually mean when Paul says all scripture is breathed out by God?
Noah Graves: You know, I think that's kind of a strange thing to say.
Noah Graves: You know, I don't think we really hear that a whole lot anymore.
Noah Graves: Like you're never off at a at a dinner party talking to a few people and saying, hey, have you guys heard that new album by Harry Stiles?
Noah Graves: Man, I mean, just every single lyric he just breathed out into that song.
Noah Graves: It was absolutely incredible.
Noah Graves: I mean, we never hear that.
Noah Graves: No one says it anymore.
Noah Graves: Never hear that.
Noah Graves: So what is Paul saying here?
Noah Graves: You see, other translations like the NLT say all scripture is inspired by God.
Noah Graves: So here, what we're dealing with is the doctrine of the inspiration of scripture.
Noah Graves: And I was trying to think of the best way to explain this.
Noah Graves: And if you've ever talked to me outside of church, you wouldn't be surprised that I was reminded of a movie.
Noah Graves: And for me, the movie that I was reminded of is movie Whiplash.
Noah Graves: And if you've never seen the movie Whiplash, uh tells this really cool story about this drummer, uh, this kid named Andrew Nayman.
Noah Graves: He has this pursuit.
Noah Graves: He wants to be the best drummer he can be, he wants to be a professional drummer, and for him, he's in this college and he's trying to do the best that he can.
Noah Graves: And for me, prior to that, I never really listened to the drums a whole lot, wasn't really familiar with it.
Noah Graves: But then after I saw the movie, I was just crazy about it.
Noah Graves: I was listening to the whole album all the time.
Noah Graves: I was crazy about the drums.
Noah Graves: I was just absolutely amazed.
Noah Graves: But there's a difference between the one playing the drums and the drums themselves.
Noah Graves: You see, there's a musician and there's an instrument.
Noah Graves: In that movie, Andrew Naaman was the musician, and he could have chosen any instrument he wanted, and he chose the drums.
Noah Graves: So the inspiration of scripture is very similar.
Noah Graves: For God is the musician.
Noah Graves: God is the author of Scripture, and he could have chosen any instrument to communicate his word to us.
Noah Graves: He could have had golden tablets drop down out of the sky.
Noah Graves: He could have put his word in the clouds in the sky, but what he chose to use, the instrument he chose to use, was just humans.
Noah Graves: People like you and me.
Noah Graves: He breathed his word into them, and they wrote the very words of God in the scriptures.
Noah Graves: And so that is what the inspiration of scripture is.
Noah Graves: It is God's word to humanity that he breathed into the authors.
Noah Graves: And so the Bible is the very word from God.
Noah Graves: But as we see here in 2 Timothy, God has a purpose for this word.
Noah Graves: He didn't just give us his word to just read it and just carry on with our lives.
Noah Graves: He has a purpose.
Noah Graves: He has a desire.
Noah Graves: There's something he's trying to do with his word.
Noah Graves: Let's continue.
Noah Graves: All scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness.
Noah Graves: So I remember for me growing up, I accepted Christ at a very young age.
Noah Graves: And, you know, I went to youth group growing up.
Noah Graves: I went to church on Sunday mornings and prayed and did everything.
Noah Graves: But for me, my faith was always a private faith.
Noah Graves: It was something I held closely to my heart, but it was never something I made public, something that I told other people about.
Noah Graves: And I just distinctly remember my three best friends growing up.
Noah Graves: You know, we went to charter days together, we went to the Washington, D.C.
Noah Graves: trip together, we played football together, we did everything together.
Noah Graves: I knew them, we were close friends, and I knew, I knew that they weren't Christians.
Noah Graves: I knew they didn't know Jesus.
Noah Graves: And I never told them about him.
Noah Graves: I never told them about my faith in Christ.
Noah Graves: I never told them about the gospel.
Noah Graves: You see, that was how I lived my life for the first 20 years of my life.
Noah Graves: And I just distinctly remember my junior year of college.
Noah Graves: I remember coming back that year and I was carrying all these trials that all just piled up at the same time in my life.
Noah Graves: I just remember I went to my bookshelf and I picked up my little Zondervan backpack Bible that was like 15 years old, and I opened it up and I just started reading it.
Noah Graves: Throughout that entire year, I started reading it, book after book in the Bible, just read it straight through.
Noah Graves: No one forced me to do it, no one made me do it.
Noah Graves: I just started reading.
Noah Graves: It was over that year I saw the Lord change my heart.
Noah Graves: He changed the direction of my life.
Noah Graves: The boy that walked into college that junior year was not the same one that left at the end of the year.
Noah Graves: Now I just remember there was this one verse in Philippians where Paul writes, For to me to live is Christ and to die is gain.
Noah Graves: Prior to that year, I never lived like that.
Noah Graves: But God used his word to change my life, to change my heart.
Noah Graves: So that now today, the greatest desire of my heart is to tell lost people about the gospel.
Noah Graves: And providentially, over the next year, God opened three doors for me to go back to those three friends of mine and to tell them about Jesus.
Noah Graves: God used his word and changed my life.
Noah Graves: I can't take credit for it.
Noah Graves: I can't stand before you today and say I did this or I did that.
Noah Graves: I can only stand before you today and say that God did this.
Noah Graves: God used his word to teach me, to reprove me, and to correct me for my own good and for his glory.
Noah Graves: And so my question for you this morning is would you like to see that in your life?
Noah Graves: Is there an area in your life that you see doesn't line up with how it ought to be?
Noah Graves: Is there an area in your life that you know needs to be fixed?
Noah Graves: Let me encourage you this morning, stop trying to self-will a better life, better behavior, better obedience, better following of Jesus.
Noah Graves: Stop trying to do it yourself.
Noah Graves: God has given you a divinely inspired word that has a purpose.
Noah Graves: And that purpose is to lead you to be more and more like Christ.
Noah Graves: As the Apostle Paul says, this word is profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness.
Noah Graves: God wants to shape and change your life, and he wants to do that through his word.
Noah Graves: All scriptures breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, reproof, correction, and training and righteousness.
Noah Graves: See, at the same time, I think many of us in here may be quite intimidated by the Apostle Paul here.
Noah Graves: I think many of us might hear his words and become filled with fear of what will this entail?
Noah Graves: What will those words of teaching, reproof, and correction do in my life?
Noah Graves: See, in that same movie Whiplash, that I mentioned before, throughout the whole movie, you see the relationship between Andrew Naaman, the drummer, and his band teacher Terence Fletcher.
Noah Graves: Andrew Naaman wanted to be the best drummer he could be.
Noah Graves: And yet Terence Fletcher decided the way to do that was to push him.
Noah Graves: To push him harder and harder.
Noah Graves: To the point where every little mistake, every little mishap, every little miscue that Andrew did, he would hurl these harsh and terrible words towards him.
Noah Graves: He put this weight, this pressure, this burden on him.
Noah Graves: And it led to this one scene where Andrew just struggling.
Noah Graves: He's trying to play the right beat, he's trying to do it the right way, and he keeps messing it up, he keeps doing the same mistake over and over and over again.
Noah Graves: And then this Terence Fletcher just can't take it anymore.
Noah Graves: He just hurls this chair straight at his head, and just everyone in the room just feels the weight of what just happened to Andrew.
Noah Graves: And the truth is, God's word can be used that way too.
Noah Graves: Where it's all about our performance.
Noah Graves: It's all about what we do.
Noah Graves: Every little misstep, every little mess up, you just get a spiritual chair hurled at your head.
Noah Graves: And you just receive this pressure, this weight.
Noah Graves: Like it's all about how you perform in your spiritual life.
Noah Graves: When Jesus walked here 2,000 years ago, there was one group of people he consistently had a problem with.
Noah Graves: There was one group of people that he always had a word for.
Noah Graves: And it was these people called the Pharisees, the spiritual teachers of the day.
Noah Graves: And this is what Jesus had to say about them.
Noah Graves: They tie up heavy burdens, hard to bear, and lay them on people's shoulders, but they themselves are not willing to move them with their finger.
Noah Graves: See, the Pharisees went out and they tied up these heavy spiritual burdens and placed them on people's shoulders, burdens that they knew they couldn't carry, burdens that they knew they couldn't handle on their own, and it left them stranded, feeling like they had this weight, this pressure on them, that spiritually they couldn't live the way that they ought to live.
Noah Graves: It was all about their performance.
Noah Graves: They just placed these rules and these restrictions and these burdens on people.
Noah Graves: And maybe you're here this morning, and that sounds quite familiar to you.
Noah Graves: Maybe for you you've had some kind of spiritual Pharisee place some kind of burden or weight or pressure on you, and it's left you feeling that way.
Noah Graves: When you hear about those heavy burdens that are hard to wear, you feel like you have one on you this morning.
Noah Graves: Maybe you just always feel like you're not doing enough.
Noah Graves: You're not reading your Bible enough, you're not praying enough, you're not obeying enough, you're not loving God enough, you're not doing enough, you're not being enough.
Noah Graves: See, Jesus had a special set of words to say to people who felt that way.
Noah Graves: In Matthew 11, where Jesus says, Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I, I will give you rest.
Noah Graves: If you are here this morning and you have a burden on your shoulders that some Pharisee placed on you, Jesus has a word, an invitation for you.
Noah Graves: He says, Come to me.
Noah Graves: He says, Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened.
Noah Graves: Jesus knows you can't carry those burdens on your own.
Noah Graves: Jesus saw it 2,000 years ago when the Pharisees were doing it, and he still sees it today, and he has an invitation of come to me.
Noah Graves: Stop trying to carry those burdens on your own.
Noah Graves: You are not strong enough.
Noah Graves: There is a reason Jesus stepped down here, and it was to free us from those burdens.
Noah Graves: He came so that we can bring those burdens somewhere here.
Noah Graves: He wants us to bring them to the cross.
Noah Graves: He wants us to bring those burdens to the cross so that he could take the full weight of those.
Noah Graves: And then when we believe on him, he frees us from those burdens so we can follow him, listen to his word, and allow that word to shape us and to change us.
Noah Graves: Come to me.
Noah Graves: That's what Jesus says.
Noah Graves: Come to me.
Noah Graves: Say, yes, I will come to you, Jesus.
Noah Graves: Because he wants you to.
Noah Graves: And he will never place burdens you can't handle on your shoulders.
Noah Graves: But I'd like us to come back to that verse we started with in verse 16, where Paul says, all scripture is breathed out by God.
Noah Graves: I think the question that a lot of us are possibly asking here is, how do we know that's true?
Noah Graves: How do we know that the Bible really is inspired by God?
Noah Graves: How do we know that the Bible really is the Word of God?
Noah Graves: Because we're not the only ones that claim this.
Noah Graves: There are numerous other religions that claim they have the inspired word.
Noah Graves: They claim that they have the very words of God Himself.
Noah Graves: So how do we know that this is it?
Noah Graves: How do we know that we actually have the true word of God?
Noah Graves: See, there's something different about the Bible from any other text.
Noah Graves: There's something different about the scriptures that no other acclaimed word of God has.
Noah Graves: And that's that all of Scripture is pointing somewhere.
Noah Graves: All of Scripture is pointing in a direction.
Noah Graves: And it all starts in Genesis, where after Adam and Eve fell, a prediction is made.
Noah Graves: That someone one day would come to slay the serpent, to slay the enemy.
Noah Graves: But even after Adam and Eve, generations came and generations went, and that serpent slayer never came.
Noah Graves: Then you come to Noah and the Ark.
Noah Graves: And God instructs him to build.
Noah Graves: This ark that will save them from the floods on the earth.
Noah Graves: But that ark wasn't sufficient to save people from the eternal punishment of sin.
Noah Graves: Humanity would need a greater ark, a spiritual ark that would save people from the floods of God's eternal punishment for sin.
Noah Graves: But generations came and generations went and no ark came.
Noah Graves: Then we come and we see Abraham up on a mountain, told to sacrifice his son, moments from sacrificing his son, and God stops him.
Noah Graves: And in comes a lamb that he provides.
Noah Graves: A ram for Abraham to sacrifice in place of his son.
Noah Graves: See, on that mountain, that ram was sufficient for Abraham and Isaac.
Noah Graves: But it wasn't sufficient for all of humanity's sins.
Noah Graves: We would need a greater ram.
Noah Graves: We would need the lamb, the perfect, spotless lamb of God, but generations came and generations went, and no lamb came.
Noah Graves: Then you see Moses and the Israelites in the book of Numbers, and they're out in this wilderness, and they're being bit and killed by these serpents.
Noah Graves: And God instructs Moses to lift up this bronze serpent, and anyone who would fix their eyes on that serpent would be saved and wouldn't die.
Noah Graves: But that bronze serpent wasn't sufficient to save people from eternal death.
Noah Graves: Something else would need to be lifted up.
Noah Graves: Someone else would need to be lifted up so that all of humanity could look upon him and be saved from their sins.
Noah Graves: But even after Moses, years went by.
Noah Graves: And that person never came.
Noah Graves: Then after all the events of the Old Testament, 400 years passed by.
Noah Graves: Silence.
Noah Graves: No scripture.
Noah Graves: No more God-breathed text.
Noah Graves: And it seems like maybe this wasn't God's word.
Noah Graves: Maybe this scripture wasn't truly breathed out by God.
Noah Graves: All those prophecies, all those things that it seemed to be pointing towards.
Noah Graves: But then on an ordinary night, in a seemingly insignificant town called Bethlehem, a baby boy was born.
Noah Graves: But this was no ordinary baby boy.
Noah Graves: This boy was God in the flesh.
Noah Graves: In the beginning was the word, and the word was with God.
Noah Graves: Here he is.
Noah Graves: In the flesh.
Noah Graves: Jesus Christ was born.
Noah Graves: In came the Son of God, the Messiah.
Noah Graves: This was the one who came to slay the enemy.
Noah Graves: This was the eternal ark that humanity needed.
Noah Graves: This was the Lamb of God.
Noah Graves: This is the one that would ultimately be lifted up on a cross so that whoever would look upon Jesus on the cross and believe would be saved, would be freed from the eternal punishment of their sins.
Noah Graves: This is what all of Scripture testifies to.
Noah Graves: This is what all of the Bible points towards.
Noah Graves: The God-breathed text of Scripture is all pointing towards this Messiah, this Jesus church.
Noah Graves: This is how we know that the Bible truly is the Word of God.
Noah Graves: It's because of Jesus, the Messiah, the one who fulfilled all of the prophecies of Scripture.
Noah Graves: He is the living, breathing Son of God, God in the flesh.
Noah Graves: This is how we know Christianity is true.
Noah Graves: This is how we know we are not like any other false religion.
Noah Graves: This is how we know the Bible is the only word of God.
Noah Graves: This is how we know the answer to the devil's question of did God really say?
Noah Graves: We know that we could say, yes, God really has spoken.
Noah Graves: And it's in the scriptures, the scriptures that are confirmed by Jesus Christ Himself, the Messiah, the Savior of the world, the one who came in the flesh as God, our Savior, our Lamb of God.
Noah Graves: Church, this Bible is the word of God.
Noah Graves: So as we close this morning, I'd like to invite the worship team up for one last song.
Noah Graves: And before we close, I'd like to read the final verse that Paul writes to us this morning.
Noah Graves: And this is what he writes.
Noah Graves: After telling us everything about Scripture, he says this that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.
Noah Graves: You might be here this morning and you look inside that spiritual mirror and you just feel like you're not enough.
Noah Graves: Feel like you don't have enough within you, you're not strong enough, wise enough, know enough, and you feel like God just can't use you for good and mighty things.
Noah Graves: But the truth is, if you look through this entire scripture, this entire scripture that was breathed out by God, you would see character after character after character in the Bible.
Noah Graves: Failed.
Noah Graves: Every single one was not enough.
Noah Graves: Abraham, how many times did he not trust God?
Noah Graves: David, what does he did?
Noah Graves: What is it that he did with Bathsheba?
Noah Graves: Peter?
Noah Graves: How many times did he deny Jesus?
Noah Graves: Not once, not twice.
Noah Graves: Three times.
Noah Graves: Paul, how does Paul describe himself?
Noah Graves: Wretched man that I am?
Noah Graves: See, Jesus didn't come to use those who think that they're perfect and they have it all together, but he came to use those who know that they're not enough.
Noah Graves: He came to use those who see their brokenness, see their insufficiencies, and need God to make them complete, and need God to equip them for every good work.
Noah Graves: And so this morning, church, let me encourage you to lift your eyes up off of yourself and fix your eyes on Jesus, the incarnate word of God, the one who came to make you complete, and the one who came to equip you for every good work.
Noah Graves: Would you pray with me?
Noah Graves: Father in heaven, we come before you this morning and Lord, we thank you for your word.
Noah Graves: Lord, we thank you for how your word points us somewhere and it points us back to you.
Noah Graves: God, we confess and we admit that we're not enough on our own.
Noah Graves: We fall short in so many ways.
Noah Graves: But Lord, we thank you for sending your Son to come in, to die for us, to make us complete, and to equip us for all that you have for us.
Noah Graves: So, Lord, this morning I pray that all of us here may fix our eyes on the cross and fix our eyes on Jesus and see the great love that you have for us.
Noah Graves: Lord, we thank you.
Noah Graves: Lord, we love you.
Noah Graves: We pray this all in the name of Jesus.
Noah Graves: Amen.
