Facing Your Doubts
What's going on everybody? Welcome to the podcast Beyond Sunday. I'm your host, pastor Lee Day. I pastor Christ Family Outreach Church, located in Amelia, virginia, and at the table with me today on this episode. I've got brother Frankie. Frankie Brown, how are you, my good brother?
Speaker 2:I'm blessed to be here again, brother. Amen With you. Bro, how are you doing this morning?
Speaker 1:I'm feeling well, got a lot going on, but I am feeling well. It's a full day and that's always, in my opinion, some of the best days to have, you know, when you're not just sitting around looking outside the window, getting bored, wondering what I'm going to do. So full days, we have the opportunity to make them productive days. So I'm planning on today being a productive day, in the Lord. If you got your Bibles today, my friends, what we're going to be focusing a little bit on is this man named Thomas. Thomas is a disciple. Many people know him. He kind of got the rap of doubting Thomas and if you've got your Bibles, you can open to John, chapter 20 and go ahead and turn there. While you're turning there, I just kind of want to lay some groundwork for today's episode.
Speaker 1:A couple of weeks ago, brother Frankie and I did an episode titled Behind Locked Doors and man. I love recording that episode with you, brother. That was such a good one. It was a blessed one. It focused on John, chapter 20, 19 through 23.
Speaker 1:And in that text we see the disciples. They're hiding in a room, they're behind a locked door for fear of the Jewish leaders because they had just crucified Jesus, and they're like hey, if they crucified our leader, they may come crucify us. They may come stone us, they may come kill us, that's right. So, jesus, even though the doors are locked, brother Frankie, he appears in the room with the disciples and he gives the following message. He says to them peace, be with you. So, jesus, then let them know that he would be sending them out, right? So they're going to have to go out, to the other side of the locked door and face their fears, the very door they're hiding behind. They've got to go out and they've got to do ministry. So today, brother Frankie, we go from facing fear to facing doubt, and this is going to be a big episode today. So, all of our listeners, I want you to hang in there for the entirety of the episode and pay close attention.
Speaker 1:We're going from facing fear to, now, this issue of facing doubt, because not all the disciples were in the room for the first meeting with Jesus after he resurrected. There's some people missing, and one of those people missing is guess who? It's Thomas. So Thomas is one of the twelve disciples, he's one of those apostles, but he's not in the room at the time. And that's where we pick up in the text today. So, if you got your Bibles, we're going to begin in John, chapter 20 and the 24th verse, and this is what the word of God says Now.
Speaker 1:Thomas, one of the 12 called the twin, was not with them when Jesus came. So the other disciples told him we have seen the Lord. But he said to them unless I see in his hands the mark of, so the other disciples told him inside again, and Thomas was with them, although the doors were locked. Jesus came and stood among them and said Peace, be with you. And then he said to Thomas Put your finger here and see my hands and put out your hand and place it in my side. Do not disbelieve, but believe. Thomas answered him my Lord and my God. And Jesus said to him have you believed because you have seen me? Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed Amen. So, brother Frankie, thomas is struggling with this thing, that a lot of people struggle with doubt, and Thomas needs proof. Unfortunately, he's at this moment in his life where doubt is running rampant in his heart, in his mind. He needs some physical, eye-seeing proof. What are your thoughts right here, my brother?
Speaker 2:I love this part right here, going from fear to doubt. I believe Thomas in this point is he's went from faith to faith and glory to glory. So you know, you got this measurement of faith right. You got the high side of the faith that you currently at and a low side to it. I believe Thomas has went from from one faith to the next. So, speaking, he's at the bottom of a new measurement of faith and he's doubting. He's doubting, and I think the reason why he's at the bottom of a new measurement of faith and he's doubting he's doubting, and I think the reason why he's doubting is he's afraid that he's missing out or he's afraid that who's going to lead us now, so to speak. So he's looking for his leader again and but his doubt isn't his doubt isn't like it't an indication that he doesn't have faith because he does. It's just an indication that he's looking, he's on a start of a new journey and his journey is starting right now and is about to take place in this room.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's a great point, because as Christians, we battle doubt at times, and that doesn't mean that we've lost our salvation. You know what I mean, and thank God. It doesn't mean that we've lost our salvation. You know what I mean and thank God. It doesn't mean that. So Thomas is just one of those guys right now where he's like man. I've got to make sure, I've got to make sure that what I have given my life to for this call, I've got to make sure that what you guys are saying is true. I need to see that this is taking place and I'm not supporting his doubt. I'm not supporting that.
Speaker 1:I'm just trying to lay some groundwork to let our listeners know that we've all been there before. You know we have absolutely all been there before and again. It doesn't make it right that we've all been there, but we've been there and at some point we're liable to find ourselves there again. And it doesn't mean that we're not saved, it doesn't mean that we're not walking with Jesus. But this thing fear, like we studied a couple weeks ago, doubt, like we're talking about today the enemy will use it and try to push it on our flesh and try to get us to wallow in it, and that's the thing that what we don't want to do is when we see fear and doubt come towards us, what we don't want to do is operate from see fear and doubt come towards us. What we don't want to do is operate from that space. That's right. Yeah, we don't want to live there. We don't want to pitch a tent and camp there.
Speaker 2:That's right. From this passage, too, I can just hear the Spirit saying doubt, but move forward, Move forward.
Speaker 1:Yeah, because moving forward is going to get us out of that. That's right, moving forward is going to get us out of that. You know, like Lord, train me, teach me, equip me that as I'm struggling with this fear, or as I'm struggling with this doubt right now, walk me through this Because, you know, the Bible calls us to stay in step with the Lord, brother Frankie. So as long as I'm staying in step with the Lord, I know that everything's going to be okay. Can I just say this too?
Speaker 1:Being in step with the Lord doesn't mean we understand everything all the time, exactly. That's why how we can be in step with the Lord and doubt and fear can still try to penetrate, but it's being in step with the Lord that reminds us that, no matter what I'm going through that I don't understand right now, my Abba Father is going to make everything okay, and this is how all can be well with our soul. Right, I may not understand everything. Doubt may be trying to push in on me right now, but all is going to be well with my soul because I know my father's in control.
Speaker 2:And if we try to understand too, I think that will sometimes bring in that doubt too. That doubt will really start to creep in when you try to make sense of the things that are unknown right now.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, you try to make sense of something, you bring up a great point, you try to make sense of something and you can't reason it. And so now doubt is just pegging. It's just pegging, pegging, and it takes faith to have peace in environments and moments and situations, life circumstances that you don't understand. It takes a tremendous faith. Thomas not only wanted to see the mark of the nails in Jesus' hands, but Scripture says he wanted to put his own finger through the holes. Like I don't just want to see the holes, I'm going in the holes. You know, like I want to put my fingers through those holes and he wanted to put. The Bible tells us that he wanted to take his hand and place it into the place in the side of Jesus where they pierced him with the sword. Like just seeing that won't enough. Can you imagine? You know, just seeing that's not enough. So I want to put my fingers in the hole and I want to put my hand into the place in his side where they pierced him with the sword while he's on the cross. So this is kind of what I get from our brother in the Lord, thomas, because he is a brother in the Lord, dear brother, he is Seeing wasn't good enough.
Speaker 1:It wasn't, unfortunately. And again, man, we've all been there. Not saying it's right, but if we're honest, we've all been there. So seeing wasn't good enough for Thomas. He wanted to see and touch. I don't know that they still make these books, but I can remember back in the day when the book fair would come to the local library.
Speaker 2:Oh, man, that was lit.
Speaker 1:It was that week where your parents would send you with a few dollars. Oh man.
Speaker 1:You had to fill out the form and you got to get out of class. The know, the whole class would get up and they'd roll down to the library for the book fair. They had set up all these books. Brother Frankie, I still, to this day I'm not an educated man, so I'm pretty simple, you know, easy to get along with. But one of my favorite well, two of my favorite books in the book fair and even all throughout my childhood. The first one was the pop-up books.
Speaker 2:Okay, yeah.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you remember. You like open a book, you open a page and like this thing just pops up.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's a great way to put it. The book comes alive. You know, the Bible really does that too.
Speaker 1:You open the pages and you know it's not a pop-up book, but the book does come to life or come alive. But I I I liked the pop-up books because I never was a good reader. But when the pages came to life for me through a pop-up book it helped me understand the story so much better. You know I'm the type tell me something okay, but if you show me something, most of the time I can latch on to it, seeing it.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah. So the pop papa book was was, was was one the the other. My other favorite type of book was you remember the scratch and sniffs. Yeah, so like you scratch, you scratch it and you go, you go take a sniff and like you know the, the flavors or whatever the scent, you don't know what you're gonna get yeah, yeah, yeah, they didn't just come alive, right and, and it was kind of sensory, you know it was.
Speaker 1:it was to let you, let your senses kind of help tell the story. Yeah, I always thought that that was so cool, so like my eyes got to see it, my nose got to smell it and I, and I just thought about that as I'm thinking about thomas. Thomas is like I, no, no, no, guys, I gotta touch, I gotta put my fingers through those holes, I gotta put my hand through those holes. I got to put my hand through the hole in his side. You remember back when Peter was walking out on the water towards Jesus and then he looked at the wind, and the Bible lets us know that Peter grew afraid and he begins to sing and Jesus responds with this Write this down if you're taking notes. And Jesus responds with this Write this down if you're taking notes. Friends, it's in Matthew, chapter 14, verse 31. And in Matthew 14, 31, we got Peter sinking Jesus with a response O you of little faith. Why did you doubt? Now, doubt, if you let it, brother Frankie. So, if you let it, brother Frankie, it has the potential to cripple faith. Yes, and again, it's not going to get rid of my faith, but it can cripple it. I'm still saved if I struggle with doubt, but it can cripple it. But you're not safe. Yeah, saved but not safe. That's right, that's a good word, right there, frankie, if you're listening out there right now, write that down Saved, but not safe, but not safe. Yeah, that's a great point. So Matthew 14, 31,. Jesus says oh, you will live faith. Why did you doubt? And in Matthew 21, 21,. Jot that one down. In Matthew 21, 21,. Here's what Jesus said, frankie. He says truly, I say to you, if you have faith and do not doubt, you will not only do what has been done to the fig tree, but even if you say to this mountain be taken up and thrown into the sea, it will happen.
Speaker 1:And in James, chapter one, verse six, it says this. In James chapter 1, verse 6, it says this but let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea that is driven and tossed by the wind. Now, think about that, friends. Let him ask in faith. So this is what we're supposed to do, brother Frankie. This is what the listeners, this is what we're supposed to do. We are to ask Christ in faith.
Speaker 1:And then James 1, 6 says this with no doubting. So our faith doesn't leave any room, not a single ounce, not a single measure, for doubt to be there to operate. Doubt is like that one thing that pollutes the water. It's that one thing that enters into the water that just makes it dirty. Even if it's just 1%, it can no longer be purified. Right At that moment, it's not any longer in the purified state. So, brother Frankie, we've talked about doubt being paralyzing if we let it creep into our hearts and minds. What's your take on this whole piece right now, where we see Thomas? He's in the room and things are happening and he tells his brothers. He says, hey, unless I can put my hands in the holes, my fingers in the holes, I'm not going to believe that this is the teacher, this is the Messiah. Where are you at with this right now?
Speaker 2:This is a monumental time in Thomas's life and his walk. Right now, as you were just speaking, I started seeing you got fear, you got doubt and you got faith. And these are three different things, very powerful things actually. So, to set the scene, you got doubt here and then you got faith on the other side. And those are two different things, two opposite things. You know two things that you choose to walk in. You got to choose to walk in doubt, like, doubt can be present, but you choose to actively walk in it. Faith is present too, but you got to actively choose to walk in that. And which one you choose to walk in is which one you're going to walk out, and it's going to dictate and determine what you see. So, right here, thomas is choosing. Even in his doubt, he's saying I got to see this and something amazing is about to happen, and the one who can change your doubt, turn it into faith, is about to walk into the room.
Speaker 1:Comes in the room, can I just say the door is locked again. It's locked, bro. So the disciples find themselves again on the protected side of this locked door. And, my friends, if you're listening and you have not yet listened to the episode behind locked doors from a couple of weeks ago, when this episode is over, you got to go back and check it out because it really really was a blessed time here at the table in studio. But here we've got the disciples.
Speaker 1:Brother Frankie just kind of sets the scene, he lets you know that they're going to be in this room again. They are on the safe side, if we can call it that, the safe side of the locked door. And again we see Jesus Christ proving that you cannot lock him out of your life. You can't lock him out, door's locked, but he still shows up in the room. Shows up, bro, doesn't knock on it, you know, just comes into the room. And here's the deal. You can try to lock him out of your life, you can try to lock him out of certain closets or compartments in your mind. But can I just say this Jesus Christ is always available and he's always there Always.
Speaker 2:Thomas says something right there. He says he gives. If I don't see the mark of the nails in his hands and put my fingers into the mark of the nails and put my hand into his side, I would never believe, and maybe there's some people out here today saying the same thing in their own situation. But I love it because Jesus Christ won't leave you there. Yeah, he's coming into the room. Amen, bro.
Speaker 1:Amen, he's coming into the room. You can't lock him out, can't, bro? You can try. You can't run from him, you can try. He's so faithful. Yeah, he is so faithful. He. He is the good shepherd that leaves the 99 to go after the one. Praise God, you know, there's scripture in the Word of God that says that there are other sheep that are not yet of this pasture. In other words, I've got people that are coming into the house. I've got people that are coming into this field, into this pasture. They're not here yet, but they're coming, they're coming, they're coming, you know. So this is a really good point.
Speaker 2:I love that.
Speaker 1:Hey, you may be on the other side of what you think is the safe side of the locked door, but can I just tell you that if the shepherd, if the son of God wants you, he's going to get you because he loves you that much. He will reveal himself to you to the point to where you can no longer deny his goodness. Brother Frankie, I love that. Yeah, I love it. Again, we see Jesus comforting his disciples with his presence. I love that. So I want to make this point by being in the presence of the Lord, the disciples, their fear it disappeared and they received courage. Praise.
Speaker 2:God.
Speaker 1:Isn't that, brother Frankie? Isn't that what God's presence does? I don't care what I'm going through, I don't care how hard or heavy or ugly or violent the attack of the enemy is. When I recognize that I am in the presence of my Father, when I am in the presence of my Savior, when I am drawing on the strength of the Holy Spirit, of the living God inside of me, his presence gives me tremendous and great courage. And not just that peace, peace, it gives peace, which is the message. It's the message is still the same.
Speaker 1:You know, like Jesus showed up the first time and he gives a message. Okay, he shows up this time and there's going to be another message. It is, and it's absolutely amazing. Here's the message peace. It's a message of peace. Where does Jesus want the peace of God to be? Let's touch on that for a moment. So God is offering mankind peace even today, right From the very beginning of time, peace is the gift that God gives us, right Mankind. And yet, even today, god is offering mankind peace. So where does he want this peace to be? Here it is. Here's the answer. God wants his peace to be within the heart and the life of every believer. Amen. So Jesus Christ enters the room on the backside of the locked door, and this is the message yet again Peace be with you.
Speaker 2:That's some sweet words right there.
Speaker 1:It is Peace, be with you. Peace be with you. That's some sweet words right there. It is Peace, be with you. Peace be with you. Where does God, the creator of heaven and earth, want his peace to be at right now? Can I just tell you friends with you. That's powerful stuff, brother. It is no matter what we've gone through, no matter how ugly we've been or are being right now, no matter how we've gone through, no matter how ugly we've been or are being right now, no matter how we just treated someone, no matter how we treated ourselves right, even if we shaken our fist at God, he loves us enough to say hey, hey, hey, that's not right. That's not right. Don't do that, don't act like that, don't respond like that. That's not how you're supposed to be loving. There's a greater way to love. But through all of that, he wants his peace to be with us.
Speaker 2:He gave us his spirit, Absolutely. What a gift, what a gift, bro. He gave himself for us. And it doesn't matter where you're at on your journey right now, whether it's just beginning, you're at the middle or you see the end in sight that peace is still there, because it's inside of you.
Speaker 1:Something that I'm thinking about, because maybe there's some people listening right now that just don't feel like they deserve the peace of God. Well, that's for everybody else. The peace of God is for those church folks. The peace of God is for people that don't come from where I come from. Maybe people feel like they're just at the bottom of life and maybe even underneath of it.
Speaker 1:Right, I want to encourage the listeners right now that, if you feel like that, I want to remind you that the peace of God is specifically for you as well. My friend, all you have to do right now is accept it and I promise it will change your day. Not only will it change your day, but it's going to change how you handle things throughout your day. Now, you got to know this that when you accept the peace of God in your life, it doesn't mean that situations are automatically going to change, because, man, frankie, we go through stuff. Yes, we do as believers, in my opinion, we go through heavier warfare than people who the enemy is not messing with because they're on his team, right, you know what I mean. So it doesn't necessarily always change what we go through, but it does change how we go through it, as we have the peace of God. Peace be with you. So peace, if you take a note, you can write this down. Peace is what God offers us through his son, jesus Christ. That's beautiful, it is the gift of God. Here's a reference. Let me give you a handful of them Romans 5.1.
Speaker 1:Romans 5.1 says we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. And you may be thinking what does this have to do with doubt Everything? Because if I'm doubting something, then I need to begin to immediately pray that God give me his peace, you something, then I need to begin to immediately pray that God give me his peace. You need to receive that peace, yeah, yeah, because, lord, well, this peace up inside of me to running over and overflowing. I need an overflow of God's peace whenever I'm facing doubt. That's going to purge that doubt out, absolutely, absolutely so.
Speaker 1:Romans 5.1 says we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. So how do we get peace? It comes through Christ. Start to pray, start to walk with him, talk with him, listen to him. Ephesians 2.14,. Ephesians 2.14,. Paul writes to the church and says Jesus himself is our peace. Jesus is our peace. So, brother Frankie, one day, when we get to, glory, we too, and man this excites me, glory we too, and man this excites me, we too, are going to see the holes in his wrist and in his feet.
Speaker 1:And those holes are proof that our salvation has been paid for by our Lord and Savior, jesus Christ. And knowing that, brother Frankie, we too are offered peace of God through Jesus, right now, on this earth.
Speaker 2:Pastor Lee, tell the listener today that's like okay, okay, I've heard how you said, how I can get peace, but how can I grow my faith? Tell the listener today how faith comes.
Speaker 1:Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God. Amen, and that's what Scripture says. So how do we increase our faith? We have to listen to the Word, yes, and it's by doing things like listening to this podcast. We are sharing multiple scriptures, we've read passages on here, so we listen to things like this. We get into a good, bible-teaching, god-fearing church where people can come, be a part of it and actually grow, where the Spirit of God is active and there is a thriving family atmosphere and environment there in the house of God. You cannot show up to a dead church and expect to be alive. Amen, bro. So how do we have an increase of faith, man? Faith comes by hearing and hearing of the Word of God.
Speaker 2:Praise God, brother, I was walking out the house this morning in preparation for the podcast and I looked across the yard and there was a tree cut down right there had a neighbor a friend of the neighbor come down, had a widow maker. One tree was hanging into another. I had rented a lift and he borrowed a lift to get easy access to take this thing down piece by piece. You know, when I looked over there this morning, what was once alive was dead, chopped up and was branches off to the side. And as I saw that man, I realized that when we ain't reaching out, like in the 27th verse, right here, it says reach out your hand and put it into my side.
Speaker 2:When we don't reach out to Jesus Christ in our doubt, in our fear, in our worry, in our stress, in our anxiety, when we don't reach out to our brothers and sisters that are readily available right there begging you reach out to me. When we don't do that, we look like those branches that have been severed and cut off, because Jesus Christ tells us, us in his word if you don't abide in me, if you don't abide in me, you will be cut off. You'll be thrown off to the side like branches, yeah, yeah, and burn and burn, and burn and burn. And how many of us? Maybe you're listening today. You feel like you're burning out. Yeah, you feel like you've been cut off. I'm here to remind you today that you ain't cut off. Unless you want to be Just got to reach out. Just reach out, reach out for help, because the vine's right there, reaching out to you. He's so near, yeah, he's so near to you right now.
Speaker 1:Yeah, the Bible. Jesus tells us in the word of God that he is the vine. We are the branches, amen. And the branch draws its strength from the vine. That's right. The branch gets peace from the vine. From the vine, the branch gets everything it needs. Everything it needs, my friends.
Speaker 2:Amen From the vine. Mentioning reaching out, Pastor Lee, can you share with us a time that either you yourself reached out to someone or someone reached out to you, and from that you've seen a monumental move of God, Absolutely brother, absolutely.
Speaker 1:I have a good, a very dear brother in my life. Goes to church with us and I know he would not mind me mentioning his name he doesn't want to credit. So this isn't for that, but just a real person, jim Mitchell, just a real brother to me. And there have been times throughout my life and ministry where, let's say, my children would be sick or I would be sick, or my wife would be sick. We'd come down with something and I know that I could reach out to him. And that brother is going to pray until we see some type of move or shift. He's going to pray until we see some type of action by the hand of God.
Speaker 1:And time and time again, it doesn't matter how sick someone was, I go to him because I know that his prayer works. And it's not that it's Jim that is important, it's not that it's Jim Mitchell that is the important person, it's that I know that his faith is resting solely in Father God, so that when I go to Jim and he believes that the power of prayer works, he believes that people are healed in the name and the blood of Jesus, I know that he's going to stand with me, shoulder to shoulder and we're going to fight through this, through faith and prayer together until we see results. So, you know, oftentimes, through many, many years, I've had to reach out to him and say so-and-so's sick, so-and-so's not feeling well, we got this test coming in, or whatever. We're looking for the right answer. Join with me, link up with me and, brother, I'm telling you a hundred percent of the time, faith has moved mountains and it has just been miracle after miracle, after miracle.
Speaker 1:And again, it's not Jim Mitchell who is the special one. He will point to God just as quick as I'm saying he will. You know, he is going to give God all the honor, glory, credit and praise for it. But it is so good to have someone in your circle that you know, hey, when it comes to asking God for this, there's zero doubt in the room we are standing here until we see the hand of God move and I bet you that when you reach out in faith to this brother who's going to pray in faith, I bet you it brings you peace.
Speaker 1:It brings me peace because I know that I got somebody walking with me. It increases my faith and there's been times where I'm like all right, well, so-and-so's not that sick in my family, so I'm not going to bother him. And then he'll get to church and he'll see someone's not, or hear someone's not feeling. Well, he's like bro, why didn't you call me? Why didn't you call me? You know, because he too. Hey, we can go to God for this and God's going to fix this. So don't go through anything by yourself. Let's go to God. Reach out, yeah, reach out, reach out and let's go to God for this and God's going to fix it. Friends, if you're taking notes, write this down God makes all the difference in the world. God makes all the difference in the world. And when you got brothers and sisters in your life, in your circle in the room, that believe that mountains move, frankie, amen, mountains move.
Speaker 1:In John, chapter 20, 29,. Jesus says to Thomas have you believed? Because you have seen me? Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed. So, just talking about this issue of doubt, in order to talk kind of fully on doubt, we got to touch on this thing faith for a moment in closing, hebrews 11.1,.
Speaker 1:It's one of my favorite scriptures in the New Testament. But Hebrews 11.1 says now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. Hebrews 11.6,. Just a few verses down, hebrews 11.6 says it goes on to say without faith it's impossible to please God. So this is what doubt tries to come in to do. It tries to take out the legs of faith, tries to knock out our legs right from underneath of us. And that's why, when we recognize doubt in our lives, we do need to reach out. Reach out for a brother or sister and say pray for me, right here I'm struggling. Reach out to Christ, reach out to the Father through prayer and don't let that doubt fester because, as I mentioned earlier, it is crippling if you allow it to continue to grow in your life.
Speaker 1:So, friends, we hope you've been encouraged by today's episode of Beyond Sunday. We know that God is in control of all things good and he's working everything out right now for His glory in your life, if you have faith and you trust in Him. But remember that the God of heaven and earth, the God of all the universe, he wants His peace to be where Found in you. Let's pray, father.
Speaker 1:We thank you for the opportunity that you give us to come into this room today to be able to share this topic of doubt. Lord, we love you, we honor you, we praise you and we are so thankful, father, that as we press deeper into you, we receive faith and strength, and doubt has to disappear, yes, but we want to honor you in and through all things, father. So, lord, we want to be able to look out for your hand at work today. May we see you working in and through us and all around us. Use us as hands and feet and mouthpieces today, father, that we could bring you honor and glory In Jesus Christ's mighty name and blood. Everybody, my friends, said together amen, amen and amen. God bless you and until next time. We'll see you on Beyond Sunday, amen.
