WEBVTT 00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:00.800 Well, good morning. 00:00:00.959 --> 00:00:05.360 We are studying our way through Romans chapter 8 in the month of January. 00:00:05.599 --> 00:00:10.880 Week one, we learn that the Holy Spirit lives in us and bonds us to Christ. 00:00:11.119 --> 00:00:19.359 Last week we talked about and we learned how the Holy Spirit in us reorders our life, shaping us to be more like Jesus. 00:00:19.440 --> 00:00:23.199 And then this week, Romans 8, what does it mean to walk in the Spirit? 00:00:23.760 --> 00:00:26.640 Paul transitioned us to be future thinking. 00:00:26.879 --> 00:00:28.800 Where is the Holy Spirit pointing us? 00:00:28.879 --> 00:00:32.320 As we walk with the Holy Spirit, where is our hope? 00:00:32.560 --> 00:00:34.799 So Romans 8, let's start in verse 18. 00:00:34.960 --> 00:00:42.159 For I consider the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed in us. 00:00:42.399 --> 00:00:47.679 For creation waits with eager longing for the revealing of the sons of God. 00:00:47.840 --> 00:01:00.719 For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of him who subjected it in hope, that the creation itself will be set free from its bondage to corruption, and obtain the freedom of the glory of the children of God. 00:01:00.880 --> 00:01:07.680 For we know that the whole creation has been groaning together in the pains of childbirth until now. 00:01:07.840 --> 00:01:15.280 Point number one is this the Holy Spirit helps us become honest about life, and that is that life is full of groaning. 00:01:15.599 --> 00:01:21.519 A few weeks ago it was early in the morning, and the whole house was up, but I was still uh I was still asleep. 00:01:21.680 --> 00:01:29.680 And uh one of my daughters runs down the hallway to the living room where Christy was in the living room and she says, Mom, Mama, Mom, Dad is throwing up, dad is throwing up. 00:01:29.760 --> 00:01:37.920 And so Christy hops up, they run back down the hallway where I am in the bed, peacefully asleep. 00:01:38.400 --> 00:01:45.280 And it's then I learned that me peacefully sleeping sounds like a grown man violently ill. 00:01:47.120 --> 00:01:49.200 So I'm now seeing a doctor. 00:01:49.519 --> 00:01:54.079 Uh here's what's clear that I've learned I can't even sleep correctly at this point. 00:01:54.239 --> 00:01:58.959 Uh the thing that should doing, I can't do nothing correctly is what it comes down to. 00:01:59.200 --> 00:02:00.799 I'm gasping for air. 00:02:00.959 --> 00:02:06.560 Like even in my sleep, my most peaceful moment, I'm groaning. 00:02:06.719 --> 00:02:08.240 I can't even do this correctly. 00:02:08.560 --> 00:02:15.439 Paul says the whole world is groaning, the whole world is gasping for air, for something more. 00:02:15.680 --> 00:02:20.159 Yes, our lives are filled with joy, but our lives also have hurt and disappointment. 00:02:20.319 --> 00:02:21.680 We can be honest about that. 00:02:21.840 --> 00:02:26.879 And we and all of Christians are groaning, we're gasping for something more. 00:02:27.520 --> 00:02:34.159 Our hearts long for the restored world, for restoration. 00:02:34.639 --> 00:02:41.520 Verse 21, Paul uses the word futility to say that this world in sin was subjected to frustration. 00:02:41.759 --> 00:02:45.919 The word futility means frustration and emptiness. 00:02:46.159 --> 00:02:49.520 We're going to experience that in the broken world. 00:02:49.840 --> 00:02:55.759 But our hearts are longing for something more because we were created for heaven and the restored world. 00:02:56.080 --> 00:03:00.879 Verse 21, Paul writes that creation will be liberated from this frustration. 00:03:01.039 --> 00:03:03.919 That's what the restoration to come will be. 00:03:04.319 --> 00:03:05.919 It's why we have these feelings. 00:03:06.080 --> 00:03:07.840 This shouldn't be this way. 00:03:08.240 --> 00:03:09.680 This shouldn't be that hard. 00:03:09.840 --> 00:03:11.919 Will this ever get any better? 00:03:12.639 --> 00:03:14.719 This week I saw this meme. 00:03:14.960 --> 00:03:20.800 This too shall pass, this one just happens to weigh a ton and walks very slowly. 00:03:21.280 --> 00:03:27.520 Now there's other ones that are more inappropriate, and you can Google them, but they're inappropriate for church. 00:03:27.599 --> 00:03:29.280 But they're also really entertaining. 00:03:29.439 --> 00:03:30.879 But this can feel like life. 00:03:31.120 --> 00:03:38.800 Life can feel like a big grizzly bear walking through your life, taking its time, disrupting your family, destroying stuff. 00:03:39.039 --> 00:03:42.000 Relationships are hard, health, finances, career. 00:03:42.159 --> 00:03:46.240 It can be paralyzing, wrecking your life, taking its time. 00:03:46.719 --> 00:03:47.919 Anybody felt like that? 00:03:48.159 --> 00:03:51.840 We were like, I just wish this grizzly bear would get on out of my life. 00:03:52.800 --> 00:03:54.159 Verse 23. 00:03:54.800 --> 00:04:05.680 And not only the creation, but we ourselves, who have the first fruits of the Spirit, grown inwardly as we wait eagerly for adoption as sons, the redemption of our bodies. 00:04:05.919 --> 00:04:07.759 For in this hope we were saved. 00:04:08.000 --> 00:04:12.800 Now, hope that is seen is not hope, for who hopes for what he sees? 00:04:13.120 --> 00:04:18.959 See, see, this is saying that the Holy Spirit active in us is giving us hope for the restored world. 00:04:19.120 --> 00:04:28.879 When you have a heart that is hoping for restoration of a relationship, of something in your life, that is the Holy Spirit at work in you. 00:04:29.040 --> 00:04:29.839 Verse 25. 00:04:30.000 --> 00:04:33.920 But if we hope for what we do not see, we wait for it with patience. 00:04:34.079 --> 00:04:37.120 Likewise, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. 00:04:37.360 --> 00:04:45.199 For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words. 00:04:45.439 --> 00:04:52.720 And he who searches hearts knows what is in the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God. 00:04:53.040 --> 00:05:00.560 Point number two is this the Holy Spirit reminds us of coming glory for a fullness of peace and joy. 00:05:01.920 --> 00:05:07.920 Just two days ago, I sat with a very dear church member who is in his last days. 00:05:09.120 --> 00:05:15.839 Sat with the family as they began to think about the dad passing away. 00:05:16.639 --> 00:05:19.360 And there's only one thing to pray for at that point. 00:05:20.639 --> 00:05:21.680 Restoration. 00:05:22.399 --> 00:05:27.680 The restoration of this man's body to be restored and not sick anymore. 00:05:28.240 --> 00:05:37.279 For the family to begin to just have, just in the middle of their grief, just to have a little bit of hope for the restoration. 00:05:37.839 --> 00:05:39.839 And some of you have lost people. 00:05:40.079 --> 00:05:42.879 You've lost a child or a spouse or a friend. 00:05:42.959 --> 00:05:49.839 And as soon as you lose that person, you begin to think about heaven in a different way because it becomes real. 00:05:51.759 --> 00:05:53.600 See, we're caught between two worlds. 00:05:53.759 --> 00:06:00.079 We're caught in a world where we're living and there's frustration and difficulty, and our hearts are longing for more. 00:06:01.120 --> 00:06:07.439 And then the world that we will one day live in in eternity, where we will be restored. 00:06:08.000 --> 00:06:14.480 Paul uses a key phrase in verse 23 that with the Holy Spirit we have the first fruits of the Spirit. 00:06:14.800 --> 00:06:22.959 That word firstfruits, it means the beginning of the harvest and the guarantee of the full harvest to come. 00:06:23.439 --> 00:06:34.240 So the Holy Spirit in us, it gives us just the beginning, the taste of what's to come while we are guaranteed that it will come in time. 00:06:36.879 --> 00:06:37.920 So we groan. 00:06:38.480 --> 00:06:42.000 We're longing for our bodies to be restored. 00:06:42.319 --> 00:06:43.759 Anybody else? 00:06:44.319 --> 00:06:50.399 Right hip, left shoulder, I got a funky foot, I can barely read these words without glasses on. 00:06:50.480 --> 00:06:51.199 Is anybody else? 00:06:51.360 --> 00:06:55.519 I mean, you're like, it would be, I can't wait for the restored body. 00:06:56.639 --> 00:07:00.879 And we also hope for our sinful nature to be destroyed. 00:07:01.680 --> 00:07:11.680 Anybody else hoping for that old Adam, that old flesh that keeps causing temptation, keeps causing problems, just to be gone. 00:07:12.319 --> 00:07:13.920 That's the hope of restoration. 00:07:14.079 --> 00:07:23.199 Verse 23, we ourselves who have the first fruits of the Spirit, we groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for adoption of sons, the redemption of our bodies. 00:07:23.839 --> 00:07:28.399 I love the phrase in verse 24: in this hope we were saved. 00:07:29.040 --> 00:07:38.639 And that's in the heirist tense, which means that we have decisive past freedom from guilt, sin, and shame. 00:07:38.959 --> 00:07:44.560 Meaning, from the cross, this hope of salvation is secured. 00:07:44.800 --> 00:07:49.040 And it's not your commitment or your love for Jesus, it's that the cross has already occurred. 00:07:49.199 --> 00:07:54.079 Jesus is on the cross, and that it's objective, it's decisive for us. 00:07:54.639 --> 00:08:03.199 So the Holy Spirit's reminding us of the decisiveness of the cross while the Holy Spirit's also pointing us forward in hope. 00:08:03.519 --> 00:08:04.959 Listen to that verse 24. 00:08:05.120 --> 00:08:13.759 Now, hope that is seen is not hope for who hopes for what he sees, but if we hope for what we do not see, we wait for it with patience. 00:08:14.879 --> 00:08:16.800 We're always waiting. 00:08:17.439 --> 00:08:22.560 A few years ago, a friend of mine told me about proper cloth Oxford shirts. 00:08:22.879 --> 00:08:24.560 I wore one for you today. 00:08:24.800 --> 00:08:27.360 This is a proper cloth Oxford shirt. 00:08:27.519 --> 00:08:28.399 He told me about these shirts. 00:08:28.480 --> 00:08:34.159 He said, Oh, yeah, they get your measurements and they're pretty well priced, and they'll make the shirt just for you, for your body. 00:08:34.639 --> 00:08:38.399 And I love that because you don't realize it, but sometimes when I'm over here preaching, I raise my hands. 00:08:38.480 --> 00:08:45.120 When I raise my hands, my shirts come up and I get very self-conscious that my shirt's gonna come untucked, and then I'm thinking about my shirt being untucked while I'm preaching. 00:08:45.200 --> 00:08:49.840 I mean, this is all going on, and I get very self-conscious, so I can order a shirt with a longer tail. 00:08:50.000 --> 00:08:56.480 Anyway, long way to say, I'll order a few of these shirts, and I love the Sundays where I get to wear my proper cloth, Oxford shirt. 00:08:56.559 --> 00:09:01.200 You don't realize it, but I love it so much, and the other Sundays I can't stand, horrible sermons those Sundays. 00:09:01.279 --> 00:09:03.600 But I love the Sundays I get to wear these shirts. 00:09:03.759 --> 00:09:08.480 So for Christmas, I ordered a couple more shirts, but they make them in Taiwan. 00:09:08.879 --> 00:09:10.320 So you have to wait. 00:09:10.559 --> 00:09:12.159 And I get emails. 00:09:12.480 --> 00:09:14.080 Your shirts are ordered. 00:09:14.399 --> 00:09:15.200 I get another email. 00:09:15.440 --> 00:09:16.000 Second email. 00:09:16.159 --> 00:09:17.919 Your shirts are being cut. 00:09:18.159 --> 00:09:19.519 Your shirts are being made. 00:09:19.679 --> 00:09:20.799 Your shirts are shipped. 00:09:20.960 --> 00:09:22.320 Your shirts have left Taiwan. 00:09:22.480 --> 00:09:23.919 Your shirts are in Cincinnati. 00:09:24.080 --> 00:09:25.600 Your shirts are in Smyrna. 00:09:25.759 --> 00:09:28.799 Like just all this waiting with hope, right? 00:09:28.960 --> 00:09:35.679 Hope of these better shirts is going to solve every anxiety in my heart and all my longings are go away with these new shirts, right? 00:09:35.840 --> 00:09:37.360 All the waiting, just waiting. 00:09:37.440 --> 00:09:39.279 We're constantly waiting, aren't we? 00:09:39.840 --> 00:09:42.000 We're waiting on the Amazon package. 00:09:42.639 --> 00:09:45.360 Waiting on the coffee to kick in. 00:09:45.840 --> 00:09:54.720 Waiting when you text somebody, and I text you and I see the little dots, but you're not replying, and then like, oh, you don't like me, or I reread the text a few times. 00:09:54.879 --> 00:09:55.440 Did I say that? 00:09:55.600 --> 00:09:57.200 I should have added a little smiley face. 00:09:57.360 --> 00:09:58.559 Like, why aren't they replying? 00:09:58.720 --> 00:10:00.879 We wait for the GPS to recalculate. 00:10:00.960 --> 00:10:02.240 We're just always waiting. 00:10:02.480 --> 00:10:13.440 We're waiting on a test result, we're waiting to get into college, we're waiting for the next job, we're waiting on a relationship to get better, we're waiting to feel better, we're waiting for healing, waiting for growth, waiting for comfort, we're waiting. 00:10:14.480 --> 00:10:17.440 And waiting means that we're unable in some way. 00:10:17.519 --> 00:10:20.240 We're unable to handle this, we're unable to complete this. 00:10:21.039 --> 00:10:23.120 We have a need, we have a weakness. 00:10:23.840 --> 00:10:26.799 So, how does the Holy Spirit help us? 00:10:27.120 --> 00:10:28.080 Verse 26. 00:10:28.240 --> 00:10:30.879 Likewise, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. 00:10:31.039 --> 00:10:34.639 For we do not know what to pray for as we ought. 00:10:35.440 --> 00:10:38.960 But the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words. 00:10:39.039 --> 00:10:45.679 And he who searches hearts knows what is in the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God. 00:10:45.840 --> 00:10:48.080 So we don't even know what to pray. 00:10:49.679 --> 00:10:53.679 I used to go to a church and the pastor would always say, like, how's your prayer life? 00:10:53.759 --> 00:10:55.279 Like, how's your how's your prayer life? 00:10:55.440 --> 00:10:59.279 And it was like, you know, like, well, now I feel like feel horrible. 00:11:00.000 --> 00:11:02.240 Like, okay, I don't pray as much as you. 00:11:02.480 --> 00:11:03.200 I always felt horrible. 00:11:03.840 --> 00:11:04.559 How's your prayer life? 00:11:04.639 --> 00:11:05.600 How much are you praying? 00:11:05.759 --> 00:11:06.960 And it just felt horrible. 00:11:07.200 --> 00:11:11.279 And then like you read Romans and you're like, well, Paul says, I don't even know what to pray, right? 00:11:11.519 --> 00:11:15.120 I mean, there's a little bit of freedom here of like, hey, you don't even know what to pray. 00:11:15.200 --> 00:11:18.320 Like, you don't even know all the dynamics of the situation. 00:11:18.480 --> 00:11:19.200 How could you? 00:11:19.440 --> 00:11:21.279 You don't even know what to pray. 00:11:21.759 --> 00:11:26.080 As I've moved along in faith, my prayers are getting more and more simple. 00:11:27.120 --> 00:11:31.759 Not like, let me show you how spiritually mature I am and tell you how long I pray. 00:11:31.919 --> 00:11:36.000 It's just much more like, like, help me with that, God, help me with that, help me with that, help me with that. 00:11:36.080 --> 00:11:38.399 Like, I don't even know what to pray, but just will you help me? 00:11:38.559 --> 00:11:39.120 Will you help me with this? 00:11:39.200 --> 00:11:39.919 Will you help me with that? 00:11:40.080 --> 00:11:42.399 We help them with this, we help them with that. 00:11:42.559 --> 00:11:43.919 The Holy Spirit knows you. 00:11:44.000 --> 00:11:45.759 There should be a great freedom in there. 00:11:46.639 --> 00:11:51.039 Like, if you don't know the right words or the right phrase or even what to pray, that's okay. 00:11:51.360 --> 00:11:58.320 It's just like that thing, that concern, that burden, that you can calm yourself before the Lord and say, God, help me with that. 00:11:58.480 --> 00:12:00.480 Help me with this, help me with that. 00:12:01.600 --> 00:12:05.440 That the Holy Spirit is in you, knows you, knows your heart. 00:12:06.480 --> 00:12:07.919 Verse 28. 00:12:08.720 --> 00:12:16.399 And we know that for those who love God, all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose. 00:12:16.720 --> 00:12:25.039 For those whom he foreknew, he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his son, in order that he might be the firstborn among many brothers. 00:12:25.200 --> 00:12:33.200 And those whom he predestined, he also called, and those whom he called, he also justified, and those whom he justified, he also glorified. 00:12:33.440 --> 00:12:35.600 Point number three is this the Holy Spirit gives us hope. 00:12:35.759 --> 00:12:37.759 We are fully loved now. 00:12:38.320 --> 00:12:39.519 Always have been. 00:12:39.919 --> 00:12:42.240 And we're waiting for restoration. 00:12:43.519 --> 00:12:48.480 At this point, Romans, Paul has given us five blessings as a Christian. 00:12:48.720 --> 00:12:50.799 And Romans 5, peace with God. 00:12:51.039 --> 00:12:53.519 Romans 5 into 6, union with Christ. 00:12:53.679 --> 00:12:56.000 Romans 7, freedom from the law. 00:12:56.240 --> 00:12:58.159 Romans 8, life in the Spirit. 00:12:58.240 --> 00:13:05.200 And then at the end of 8, this fifth blessing, that we are loved by God with steadfast love. 00:13:06.559 --> 00:13:09.440 And verse 28 is a great promise for us. 00:13:09.679 --> 00:13:16.320 Not that life will be pain free, but it means that God is with us in our pain, in our loss. 00:13:16.639 --> 00:13:19.440 And that something of that pain will be of use. 00:13:19.679 --> 00:13:20.480 We don't know what. 00:13:20.639 --> 00:13:22.000 And so we're groaning. 00:13:22.159 --> 00:13:23.440 We groan in the pain. 00:13:23.519 --> 00:13:24.639 We groan in the loss. 00:13:24.799 --> 00:13:26.799 We groan in the broken world. 00:13:27.600 --> 00:13:37.120 But we have a promise that God is still at work, the story's not over, and that that too will be restored either here in this world or the next. 00:13:37.440 --> 00:13:40.879 Verse 29 uses that word forenew. 00:13:41.600 --> 00:13:42.960 That God foreknew us. 00:13:43.200 --> 00:13:48.320 It means a personal relationship of care and affection. 00:13:48.720 --> 00:13:55.759 God has set his affection on you even before you cared for him. 00:13:56.480 --> 00:14:02.000 He decided to choose you and love you even before you decided to choose him and love him. 00:14:02.879 --> 00:14:17.039 I don't have that fully worked out theologically of what that means for somebody who does not choose him or love him, but what I do know is that if you choose him and you love him, you are not secure with him because of your choices or your love. 00:14:17.360 --> 00:14:22.480 You are secure with him because of his choice of you and his love for you. 00:14:23.200 --> 00:14:25.200 That's steadfast love. 00:14:25.840 --> 00:14:33.360 While we groan, while life can be difficult, while we are difficult, while we go through valleys. 00:14:34.080 --> 00:14:36.720 Do you remember our study of Psalm 23 a couple of years ago? 00:14:36.879 --> 00:14:55.519 There's that great verse even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, there's that image of a sheep starting in a green pasture, and he's going to go through a valley, but that valley he's going through is going to move him up for the summer heat to another green pasture, to cooler weather. 00:14:55.840 --> 00:14:58.000 He needs to go through the valley. 00:14:58.240 --> 00:15:00.080 But the valley is hard. 00:15:00.320 --> 00:15:05.279 As we journey through the valley, the shepherd leads us to another green pasture. 00:15:05.440 --> 00:15:07.279 Listen to Psalm 23, 1 through 4. 00:15:07.440 --> 00:15:10.159 The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want. 00:15:10.559 --> 00:15:13.039 He makes me lie down in green pastures. 00:15:13.279 --> 00:15:15.360 He leads me beside still waters. 00:15:15.600 --> 00:15:17.279 He restores my soul. 00:15:17.600 --> 00:15:20.559 He leads me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake. 00:15:20.720 --> 00:15:28.080 Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me, your rod and your staff, they comfort me. 00:15:28.399 --> 00:15:30.559 See, in the valley we groan. 00:15:31.120 --> 00:15:37.600 In this world we're going to groan because it's a broken world, broken bodies, an imperfect self. 00:15:37.840 --> 00:15:40.159 But we are comforted with steadfast love. 00:15:40.320 --> 00:15:43.200 I love these four images of Psalm 23. 00:15:43.679 --> 00:15:48.559 Starting in that top left is just the image of the green pasture that we love. 00:15:48.799 --> 00:15:51.039 We love that when we get that in life. 00:15:51.279 --> 00:15:57.279 And that image right below it is just the feeling of us walking through a valley and we feel like we're alone. 00:15:57.919 --> 00:15:58.879 But we're not. 00:15:59.120 --> 00:16:03.200 So we have that third image that the shepherd is walking with us. 00:16:03.519 --> 00:16:09.200 He is with us through the valley, and it's to get us to another green pasture. 00:16:10.000 --> 00:16:13.279 The great shepherd is with us with steadfast love. 00:16:14.159 --> 00:16:19.279 Walking with the Holy Spirit is walking through these valleys, walking through these groanings. 00:16:19.919 --> 00:16:26.000 And the Holy Spirit is reminding us the sufficiency of Jesus and the hope we have to come. 00:16:26.559 --> 00:16:34.639 So if you are reminded and you remember God loves me with steadfast love, that's the Holy Spirit in you. 00:16:34.960 --> 00:16:39.759 If you are reminded that Jesus is enough, that's the Holy Spirit in you. 00:16:40.240 --> 00:16:52.399 If you are reminded, oh, I have a hope of a restoration, this heart longing of mine that this shouldn't be this way or this should be better or this should be this, that is our hearts longing for restoration. 00:16:52.480 --> 00:16:54.399 It's the Holy Spirit in us. 00:16:54.799 --> 00:17:04.880 And that this Holy Spirit, walking in the Holy Spirit, it has a past tense of remembering the decisiveness of Jesus on the cross for us. 00:17:05.119 --> 00:17:11.440 And it has a future orientation where we're looking forward to the restored world. 00:17:11.839 --> 00:17:14.240 If you have any questions about the sermon, I'll be down front afterward. 00:17:14.559 --> 00:17:16.559 Love to talk to you, pray with you. 00:17:16.720 --> 00:17:17.920 Let's pray together. 00:17:18.240 --> 00:17:28.640 Heavenly Father, we thank you that you know us and love us, that you bond us to Jesus by your spirit, not our commitment or passion or love. 00:17:28.960 --> 00:17:38.240 We thank you that you are conforming us to your Son by your Holy Spirit, that you are reordering the inside of our hearts and our minds. 00:17:38.559 --> 00:17:45.839 And we thank you as we look into the future, that there is a hope of a restored world. 00:17:46.240 --> 00:17:56.000 Many of us have loved ones there now, where they are enjoying, they are enjoying a restored body, a restored soul. 00:17:56.799 --> 00:18:04.240 And we look forward to the day where we join them, where we are no longer in this weary body and weary soul. 00:18:05.359 --> 00:18:11.359 Help us to calm our hearts before you enough to hear and be reminded of the hope that we have. 00:18:11.759 --> 00:18:14.079 That there is a restoration coming. 00:18:15.039 --> 00:18:19.440 Some in this world as a foretaste, but more in the next world. 00:18:20.240 --> 00:18:26.160 Where the sinful self will be destroyed, and we will enjoy the redemption of our bodies. 00:18:26.400 --> 00:18:31.839 Help us to trust in Jesus more, to enjoy the forgiveness and the righteousness we have in the cross. 00:18:32.480 --> 00:18:33.440 And walk with you. 00:18:33.599 --> 00:18:34.799 In Jesus' name we pray. 00:18:35.039 --> 00:18:35.680 Amen.
