Starting something new today, titled this the Desert
Survival Series.
Could say back by popular demand, but not
really.
My wife's been wanting me to do this
again for a long time, because she knows
the blessing that it was.
And so I'm going to do another series
on the life of Moses.
Another in the sense that I did it
a few years ago before I came here.
Only it's going to be different this time,
I'm reworking it.
God has taught me so much since I
did this.
And I've been praying about it, and I
think it's of the Lord that we do
this at this time.
And we'll probably be in this the rest
of the year.
The Book of Exodus will be the main
book.
We'll be into Deuteronomy some in numbers, but
mostly Exodus for the first part.
The Desert Survival Series, it's a study of
Moses.
Moses, the man of God, Deuteronomy 33.1
calls Moses the man of God.
Moses, the servant of God, Deuteronomy 34.5.
And what we'll have in this is probably
more of a teaching series, expository study of
the Word of God.
And you're going to have my life, the
things I've learned for the last 20 years,
put in here, many lessons.
And then after this series, I'll probably retire
my Bible.
I've got a new Bible that somebody, I
think it was last year, bought for me,
but I'm so partial to the old one,
I can't hardly break away.
But I know by the time I get
done with this series, I'll have to change,
because this part of my Bible, the front
part, will just fall apart completely.
It's held together with Elmer right now.
Elmer's glue, but Elmer's getting weak again.
But I've got so many notes in here,
and so many things from the last eight
years that I've learned.
And I preached out of this Bible on
this series the first time.
I'm asking that God would do some things
through this series.
And I know that He will do things.
Your life, if you pay attention to this
series, will not be the same again.
Your life will be changed.
I'm going to tape the messages, and there'll
be two messages to a tape, and I'll
put them in our lending library, and I'll
probably leave them there for a month or
two, and then I'm going to mail them
somewhere else for somebody else to listen to.
But it'll do these things.
If you're not saved, it'll show you very
clearly how to be saved.
And if you miss Jesus Christ, you miss
everything in life.
And it'll do this, too.
It'll develop discernment.
It will develop your discernment.
The Bible says in Hebrews 5, I was
looking at a passage this week, Hebrews 5,
that one of the problems with new believers
is that we do not grow in Christ
the way we should.
Hebrews 5 and verses 12 through 14 says,
For when the time you ought to be
teachers, you have need that one teach you
again, which be the first principles of the
oracles of God, nor become such as have
need of milk and not of strong meat.
For everyone that useth milk is unskillful in
the word of righteousness, for he is a
babe.
But strong meat belongeth to them that are
of full age, even who by reason of
use have their senses exercised to discern both
good and evil.
You need discernment.
We have gone into a new age of
demonic activity.
Every age before God does something major is
preceded by an outburst of strong demonic activity.
And we have entered into almost what we
could call the computer age of demonic activity
in this world, in the church.
So you need discernment.
Some of you have been Christians long enough
to where you should be teaching others, but
you have not followed the pattern that God
has laid out in the church, and you're
still a babe.
This program that goes on Sunday morning, right
here during this hour from 11 to 12,
is just one quarter of the program that
God has led me to teach you.
If you're not in on the Sunday school
program, and if you're not in on the
Sunday evening program, if you're not in on
the Wednesday evening program, then you're missing out
on a certain percentage of the program that
I have not ordained, but God has seen
fit.
And our time schedules can change, and the
days can change, but the four main ingredients
of this thing are so important that God
has commanded us to do these things.
And you remain a babe if you do
not avail yourself to that which God has
made available.
And then another thing, not only to develop
discernment, but to discern doctrine.
The Bible is under what I would call
the old attack against its authority in a
supersonic way.
There is a movement in this world today
that is so highly geared to destroying the
Word and our faith in the Word that
a lot of Christians are having their Christian
lives wiped out.
Because they're falling from this attack of Satan,
this bait, this setup.
We've got to be very careful.
And one of the things that God has
ordained, that the pastor, teachers do, and that
is that we equip you so that you
will not be children tossed to and fro,
carried about by every wind of doctrine.
We have some very subtle doctrines going around.
By every wind of doctrine, by the slight
of men and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie
in wait to deceive.
People will lie in wait to deceive you
and will lie to you and will feed
you the old lie of Satan that's been
going around.
And so this series will develop your discernment,
it will develop your doctrine, because what we're
going to do as we go through here,
we're going to take the heart of Romans.
Romans 6, the crucified life.
And Romans 8, the spirit-filled life.
And we're going to put the heart of
the doctrine that God has ordained for Christians,
we're going to put it into shoe leather.
And we're going to look at it.
We've got all the illustrations with Moses leading
the children of Israel out of the Promised
Land.
And it's going to be good.
I've been sharing some of these things since
Wednesday nights.
It's been so good.
And we've been going into such deep, vital
truths that God has prompted me to give
this to all of you and just make
a series out of it.
Now, another thing in our desert survival series.
This will teach us how to be desert
dwellers.
This land, we will compare it to the
desert.
This world, we'll compare it to the desert.
And it's going to teach us how to
be desert dwellers.
If I can share with you a few
passages.
This morning, I'm going to share with you
quite a few passages.
But Isaiah 48.1 is one of the
passages I want to share with you.
Or 21.
And it says, And they thirsted not when
He led them through the deserts.
He caused the waters to flow out of
the rock for them.
He claimed the rock also.
And the waters gushed out.
We're going to learn how to survive in
this desert.
Now, we had a man of God a
few weeks ago speak from our pulpit.
I wouldn't say he's a prophet, but he
may be close to it.
And I've known him for a long time,
but Mr. Penner, when he was here, he
said that we better watch out for 86.
Now, I've known him for about 18 years.
And he's said things like that before.
He said things like that back in the
60's.
Warning people of certain things.
And I've watched over the period of years
how many times what he said came true.
Now, he's not a prophet in that he's
predicting something, but he says that this year
is going to hold something.
And I believe it is.
I believe this may be the year of
revival.
How far spread it will go, I don't
know.
But there are things happening all over the
world in the era of revival.
And if that's the case, then we know
that there will be many adversaries.
Isaiah 43 and verse 19.
God said this.
Isaiah 43 and 19.
Behold, I will do a new thing.
Now it shall spring forth, shall you not
know it?
I will even make a way in the
wilderness and rivers and the desert.
As we go through this desert, this world
that sometimes gets pretty dry, we need the
source of strength, which is the water, the
water of life.
But God's going to do a new thing.
And with Israel he did a new thing.
He made a way in the wilderness, rivers
and the desert.
He sustained them.
And we're going to learn a lot of
principles.
You know one thing?
I've learned that if God is going to
put me in the desert, Satan somehow or
another is going to slip up and going
to say this, you're going to die in
that desert.
You better get out of there.
And maybe you're in a situation that's hard
and a situation at work or location or
in a family thing.
Whatever.
And Satan slips up and says, you're going
to die in this situation.
You're going to be destroyed.
It's a lie.
When God led Israel out into the wilderness,
He did not lead them out there to
destroy them.
He led them out there to make them
into a new people.
And the interesting thing about it, Mark 6,
verse 31, Jesus says, Come ye apart, come
ye yourselves apart, into a desert place.
And you know what He said He'd do
when He got them into the desert?
And He said, And rest a while.
We can have rest in the desert.
And I found that if we will learn
to bloom in the desert, we can bloom
anywhere.
Wherever God has you, whatever your situation.
So this series is going to be vital
for these three or four areas.
And it's not our location but our attitude.
It's not our situation but our attitude.
Can we have a victorious attitude no matter
how tough our situation?
Whether we're facing death, right face to face,
or other crisis, family crisis, economic crisis, or
whatever.
Isaiah 40, verses 28 through 31, are going
to be some verses that I am going
to saturate my soul in this year.
I've already started in several key verses.
This is one of them I'm going to
start memorizing.
But it's this.
And my bird for the year is the
eagle.
I like the eagle.
Somewhere in this country there's a tapestry around
these blankets.
You've seen these new blankets.
They come out with tigers on them and
deer and goats and stuff.
I'm going to find the one that has
an eagle on it.
I want to put that up in my
office.
It's the eagle that soars on the turbulent
winds.
It's the eagle that gets his strength from
the turbulence of life.
And it's the eagle.
He can soar alone.
It doesn't bother him to be alone.
He can soar alone.
He'll fly with other eagles.
That's okay.
But it doesn't bother him to fly alone.
And we're going to learn the strength of
the eagle.
Hast thou not known, hast thou not heard,
that the everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator
of the ends of the earth, fainteth not,
neither is weary.
There is no searching of his understanding.
He giveth power to the faint.
And to them that have no might, he
increaseth strength.
Even the youth shall faint and be weary,
and the young men shall utterly fall.
But they that wait upon the Lord shall
renew their strength.
They shall mount up with wings as eagles,
they shall run and not be weary, and
they shall walk and not faint.
And we will learn the secret of the
eagle that is referred to with the children
of Israel in the wilderness.
Did you know that the eagle is referred
to in relation to the Israelites?
It is.
God bore them on eagles' wings.
We're going to learn these things.
Well, let me give you a little introduction.
And then next week we're going to take
off with the birth of Moses.
We're going to burst right into the family
life of a child of God.
We just start off right in the family
life.
An interesting thing.
But there is the strength.
There's the strength of the church.
It's the strength of a nation.
It's the family life.
And so we'll see how Satan tries to
destroy and how God uses different things to
bring victory.
Do you know what the definition of exodus
is?
Put it in your Bible if you don't
have it.
It means the way out.
The way out.
And it seemed so foolish to the Egyptians
that God took these Israelis right out into
the desert.
Where are you guys going?
We're going to Canaan.
We're going to the Promised Land.
Why are you going that way?
It's a desert down there.
You know what the Scripture says?
You might want to turn over to 1
Corinthians chapter 1 and 25 and 27 where
it says that the foolishness of God is
wiser than man.
Let me read that if I can find
it.
1 Corinthians 1, it says, Because the foolishness
of God is wiser than men, and the
weakness of God is stronger than men.
For you see, not your calling, brethren, how
there are not many wise men after the
flesh, and not many mighty, and not many
noble are called.
But God hath chosen the foolish things of
the world.
And when God took Israel out into the
wilderness, that was one of the most foolish
looking things you ever saw in your life.
And I'm sure Satan laughed and all the
Egyptians laughed and all the people around, they
laughed when they see these 2 or 3
million people going out into the wilderness.
And you may be laughed at if you're
going to do what God wants you to
do.
But it says, God hath chosen the foolish
things of the world to confound the wise,
and God hath chosen the weak things of
the world to confound the things which are
mighty.
And he goes on and on.
Well, the way out.
Many times we think it's the way of
destruction.
The background of this passage in Exodus is
this.
God has sent a man down into Egypt
to get control of things.
And his name was Joseph.
He went down as a slave.
And the Scripture says that there was a
famine in the land, and Joseph's family came
down.
They entered into the land and they started
off with 70 folks.
70 people.
And about 400 years later, there are between
2 to 3 million of them.
And God is making a nation.
Started off with Abraham.
Ended up with about 70 of them with
Jacob and his clan.
And he went down there and then he
died there and he says, don't leave my
bones here.
When we go back to Canaan, you take
my bones.
All those years they carried his bones around
in that desert.
You know that?
Call it an Egyptian rapture or whatever.
But he says, I'm going back to the
land.
And what we have is an escape out
of Egypt which would be the description of
the unsaved life into the wilderness which would
be a description of the carnal life, the
new growing life.
And then we go into Canaan which would
be the way to the promised land.
So we have the way out of Egypt,
the way through the wilderness, and the way
into the promised land.
All of this we'll learn.
Well, Moses.
A little bit on the main character.
What about Moses?
Why is Moses so important?
Moses is one of the major men in
the Bible.
He wrote five of the books of the
Bible.
The first five.
Call it the Pentateuch.
Moses is important because he was a type
of Christ.
And we could spend a whole day today
just going over how he was misunderstood.
But let me just mention a couple of
things.
He was misunderstood.
Just plain misunderstood.
And we'll see this.
In Acts 7.25, if I can get
back there.
If you can get back there in time,
you can read with me.
But in Acts 7.25, I wanted to
read this about Moses.
Remember when he went out to deliver his
brothers, the Hebrews?
He went out and he was going to
do it by force.
He saw this Egyptian beating a Hebrew and
ended up, had a fight there and he
killed the man.
And he was going to deliver them from
the Egyptians.
He was high up.
High up.
In the Pharaoh line.
Matter of fact, it was either three or
four times he turned down the rulership of
Egypt to be the Pharaoh.
Did you know that?
So when it says in Hebrews that he
turned away from the pleasures of Egypt, three
times the kingdom of being the Pharaoh offered
him three times, and maybe it was four,
that he turned it down.
But he knew that in his heart God
wanted to use him to do something greater
than that.
And that was to deliver Israel to the
promised land.
And it says, for he supposed his brethren
would have understood how that God by his
hand would deliver them, but they understood not.
And you know the story how he had
to run for his life and he went
out and for 40 years Moses was buried
in the desert, lived in the wilderness, tending
sheep, 40 years out there.
All of his degrees that he had because
of the Egyptian learning, his degree in science,
his degree in philosophy, his degree in religion,
all of those degrees because he was given
the best education that the world could give
at that time.
He would say, it's all gone, it's all
for nothing.
And in his heart, he said, what is
this God?
I thought you wanted to use me to
deliver Israel from bondage.
But God had a greater plan.
But his first part, the first thing he
wanted to do was to kill Moses.
Now, he didn't harm him, but he just
wanted the self-life out of Moses completely
destroyed.
And what we're going to see as we
go through this is how God will do
that with us.
If he can get the self-life in
us destroyed and just have the Christ-life
to radiate, then he can do things.
He can do great and mighty things.
Well, he was misunderstood and who else was
misunderstood?
Jesus Christ was.
He came into his own and his own
received him not.
Moses is a type of Christ and as
we go through there, we'll see that.
He gave up the treasures and the pleasures
of Egypt for Christ.
I know another king.
King Jesus who gave up the glories of
heaven and all that he had, he came
down.
He left behind and he came down to
live among men, to be laughed at, to
be spit upon, ultimately to be misjudged at
an unfair trial, to be put on a
cross and crucified for my sins and your
sins.
He left all of that and he was
misunderstood.
Moses was a type of Christ.
We'll see Christ as we go through this
study.
We will see the Lord Jesus Christ in
many ways that we've never seen them before.
And I trust as you avail yourself to
this, you just open yourself up to it.
If you have to be gone, get the
tape so you don't miss anything.
Because I've found that whenever I miss a
service, and I hardly ever miss one of
my preaching services, Satan likes to knock me
out from something that's key.
And I've watched many times, I don't prepare,
I never do prepare a message for a
person.
Never do, intentionally do that.
But many times after I've got a message
prepared, I may see, how hey, so and
so, this is really good, they need this.
This is food from God for them.
I've seen it time after time after time,
that's the very Sunday they're not there.
It's not an accident.
We're in a spiritual warfare.
The very thing that you need the most,
Satan will really work on the hardest to
keep you away from it.
And many times he gets the victory because
we let him.
We let him.
We obey him instead of obeying our Master.
Well, he's a type of Christ.
Here's something else.
Moses was a deliverer.
Who else was a deliverer?
Jesus was a deliverer.
Let me share something with you from Hebrews
chapter 2, about our Lord.
Hebrews chapter 2, verse 14, For as much
then as the children are protectors of flesh
and blood, Christ also himself likewise took part
of the same that through death he might
destroy him that hath the power of death,
that is the devil, and deliver them who
through fear of death were all their lifetime
subject to bondage.
Do you know that if you're afraid of
dying, that you're under a bondage?
It's the bondage of fear.
Fear is the basis of all the religions
of the world.
All the religions that are outside of Christ
have at the basis of their religion, fear.
And their method of operation is works.
If you don't work enough, you're not going
to make it to heaven.
And it instills fear into you.
And this is why certain people do crazy
things.
Because they're afraid they won't get to heaven
because the religious leaders or gurus have told
them if they won't do this or that
or that they won't get to heaven or
if they won't give enough of their money.
Well, Jesus is a deliverer.
He delivers us from this fear that Satan
instills.
And another thing.
Moses was a mediator.
I was talking with my wife this morning.
What was the greatest thing that you think
that Moses did?
And she mentioned something.
She mentioned something on the negative.
I hadn't thought about it.
The greatest thing he did in the negative.
And we'll get into that.
You know how God wanted to use him.
Moses, I want to use you.
I'm going to send you.
And he said, I don't want to go,
Lord.
Get somebody else.
You know how the argument went?
That was the greatest thing in the negative.
But the greatest thing in the positive was
how he was a mediator.
And at one point when Israel was disobedient,
he said, Lord, blot me out instead of
them.
He loved them so much.
The greatest thing was when he stood in
the gap and said, I will die in
their place.
Who else do you know did that?
Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
Moses was a mediator.
There's one mediator between God and man, and
that's Christ Jesus.
And Moses was a type of the Lord
Jesus.
Isaiah 53, 5.
A beautiful description of Christ as a mediator.
It says He was wounded for our transgressions.
He was bruised for our iniquities.
This is real beating.
A real death on the cross.
He was bruised for our iniquities.
The chastisement of our peace was upon Him,
and with His stripes ye are healed.
All we like sheep have gone astray.
We've turned everyone to His own way.
And the Lord had laid on Him the
iniquity of us all.
He was oppressed.
And He was afflicted.
Yet He opened not His mouth.
He was brought as a lamb to the
slaughter.
And as a sheep before His shearers is
dumb, so He opened not His mouth.
He was a mediator.
He went through all of that.
The death on the cross to bring us
to God.
If we would receive Him and do it
His way.
His life.
Moses' life is divided into three 40-year
sections.
40 years in the palace.
40 years in the palace raised in royalty.
40 years in the desert tending sheep.
40 years leading Israel in the wilderness to
the promised land.
Moses got another degree while he was in
the desert.
A degree that we can get.
He got his doctorate of desertology.
He learned how to survive in the desert.
This is why I'm calling this our Desert
Survival Series.
And if you go through this whole series,
you'll get your doctorate degree in desertology.
How to survive in this world.
You'll learn a lot of things in this
study.
Well, some notes in closing.
It doesn't mean I'm going to close.
It just means I've got some notes in
closing.
We had a good time last week with
Brian.
We sure enjoyed having a short sermon.
I've been wanting one for a long time.
That's good.
His training in the world.
His training in the world in the Egyptian
world.
And your training in the world will do
the same thing.
His training in the world did not teach
him victory over self.
You see, Moses had a problem.
He had a problem with temper.
Self.
Whatever area of yours comes out in.
It did not teach him how to have
victory over self.
And it did not equip him to deliver
Israel.
He couldn't even control his own temper.
And he couldn't even deliver Israel.
After he got through and God was able
to use him, he could do those two
things.
He had victory over self with a couple
exceptions and we'll see that.
We sometimes fall and slip.
And then God equipped him to deliver Israel.
Others.
This is one of the reasons that we
have so little power in our witness to
others is because we have so little power
of the witness of Christ in our life.
This series will develop that power in your
life.
Galatians 2.20 and 21 will be another
key passage.
Galatians 2.20 is where Paul said, I
am crucified with Christ and nevertheless I live,
yet not I, but Christ liveth in me
and the life that I now live in
the flesh.
I live by the faith of the Son
of God who loved me and gave himself
for me.
And then verse 21 says, I do not
frustrate the grace of God for if righteousness
came by the law then Christ is dead
in vain.
One of the things we'll learn in this
series is how not to frustrate the grace
of God.
In other words, let's don't get God mad
at us.
Let's let God do what he wants to
do.
Let's quit getting upset and irritated about things
and just relax.
Learn the rest life that Hebrews 4 talks
about and especially that's in relation to Israel.
They just need to learn to relax.
We're going to see some beautiful truths here.
Now, I want to say this.
I put it in quotes and I said
it.
I'm quoting myself.
Your desert experience is designed to kill you.
You may be going through a desert experience.
But God will use that desert experience to
kill you.
You know what I mean?
He wants the self-life destroyed.
It's designed to kill you but not to
harm you.
God wants the old man crucified.
He wants him to stay crucified.
And we're going to learn the crucified life.
Endurance is vital to victory and maturity.
If you will not endure, then you won't
learn the lessons.
Moses went on to maturity.
The scripture teaches us.
He went on to maturity because he endured.
Why does he endure?
He endured because he saw one that was
faithful and he kept his eyes.
Many that profess to follow Jesus Christ do
not endure.
They do not persist because their eyes are
not on Christ.
Their eyes are still on the world.
And they do not have Jesus in their
heart.
And so they do not have a love
in their heart for Jesus.
They may pretend to love some of the
things that people that know Jesus love like
church and worship and prayer.
But they will not endure.
And this series will teach us how to
be strong.
How to have faith.
And not be fickle.
We often try to run or get rid
of that very thing that God has designed
for us.
This desert survival series will teach us how
not to panic in the desert and to
run.
But we'll remain calm and cool and quiet.
Well, John 12, 24 is another key principle
that we'll learn.
And I'll share many truths from it.
You know what John 12, 24 says?
Verily, Jesus said, Verily, verily, I say unto
you, Except a corn of wheat fall into
the ground and die, it abideth alone.
But if it die, it bringeth forth much
fruit.
We will be that corn of wheat.
You take a corn of wheat, you stick
it up here on the piano, and you
leave it there for 50 years and 50
years later you come back and you know
what you've got?
A pile of old withered black something dust
there.
It's done nothing but sit there for 50
years.
But you take it out here and you
plant it in the ground.
And then you get that that which produces
out of it and plant that the next
year.
In 50 years, you know what?
You've got enough to feed this whole country
for probably several years just from that one
kernel of wheat.
This is what Jesus is talking about.
If we will die to self and let
Him live through our life, there'll be much
fruit.
One of the destructive things in the church
has been that we as Christians will not
die.
And there's not been much fruit.
We'll learn it.
One more thing and then we'll close.
And that's Moses the shepherd.
Moses the shepherd.
He was a type of Christ.
The scripture says in Exodus 3-1 and
then we'll finally get to Exodus, won't we?
But not just to touch it.
Now Moses kept the flock of Jethro, his
father-in-law, the priest of Midian, and
he led the flock to the backside of
the desert.
You may think I'm leading you to the
backside of the desert.
But let me tell you what's at the
backside of the desert, folks.
And came to the mountain of God.
I'm going to lead you to the mountain
of God.
Whether or not you get the blessings from
the mountain of God will be up to
your endurance and your carefulness.
My responsibility is to dish it out.
And I'll pray for you.
And I don't offer guarantees.
But I would almost guarantee this, that if
you stick through this whole series, your life
will be changed.
It's changed mine.
And it will change yours.
He led them to the backside of the
desert and he came to the mountain of
God.
He first came to God Himself.
Then you know what happened?
You look at verse 12 and it says,
I think it was verse 12, and He
said, Certainly I will be with thee and
this shall be a token unto thee that
I have sent thee.
When thou hast brought forth the people out
of Egypt, ye shall serve God upon this
mountain.
You see, first Moses went to the mountain.
And then Moses was able to bring others
to the mountain.
The mountain represented blessing.
He brought others to God to serve Him.
Notice that they will serve God upon this
mountain.
John 10, 27, Jesus said, My sheep hear
My voice and I know them and they
follow Me and I give unto them eternal
life.
If we'll follow Jesus, we'll follow Jesus, we'll
find everything that we want.
If we'll follow Jesus, though we must do
this, we must turn our back on the
world.
And follow Jesus.
And I say that to you for this
reason.
We're going to go through some trials this
year.
And I'm not saying that because I want
trials.
I don't like problems.
We're going to go through them though because
it's part of life.
But if we'll just keep our eyes on
Jesus, follow Him, turn our back to that
which would destroy us or attempt to divert
us or discourage us, and just say, Lord,
I'm going to follow You no matter what.
We will be victorious.
Follow Jesus.
And this Desert Survival Series is designed to
teach you to follow Jesus just as Israel
was supposed to follow Moses.
Let's bow for prayer.
Father, You're present.
You're always present.
Sometimes we're more aware of Your presence.
I'm very aware of Your presence.
I'm very aware that Your enemy and our
enemy is seeking to destroy Your work.
I thank You that greater is He that
is in us than he that is in
the world.
And we're to fear God.
We're to fear You.
And not anything else.
And as we go through this study, I
pray that each thing that I share, and
as I cut back and hold back on
the things and just try to limit it
to a certain key things and cut out
that which is not necessary, that through all
of this we would see Jesus Christ.
We wouldn't see a preacher.
We would even go farther than seeing Moses.
And we would just see Christ.
And we would see that which You want
us to see.
And Lord, before we leave today, we can't
leave again without offering salvation.
Maybe there's someone here who lost and the
Spirit of God has been dealing with them
that they're not saved.
Their eyes have been on the world and
their eyes have been on themselves and everything's
revolved around I.
I, I, I.
I, I,
I,
I, I, I, I, I,
I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I,
I, I, I, I, I, I, I I,
I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I,
I, I, I, I, I, I,
I,
I, I, I, I, I, I, I Thank
you now in Jesus name.
Amen.
Let's turn to hymn books.
For closing hymn, if you'd like to make
a public decision for Christ, then you come
on the first stanza.
Hymn number 483.
We won't have a long invitation.
If you want to come, you come up
here, and then we'll dismiss, and you and
I will stay here, and we'll pray.
