Isn't it great to be in the body of Christ where there's Christians from all over the world? And the Bible says that in heaven, every nation, every tribe, every tongue will be represented. Not everyone is going to heaven, only those who have put their faith in Jesus Christ and have been born again. But of those people, there is no special race or country. God loves all people everywhere. He loves them of every color, every background. He loves poor people. He loves rich people. He loves middle income. He loves everybody, and when we're in heaven, we're gonna be together. Imagine no more time. Time will have ended. We'll have entered into something called eternity, which will have no end, very hard, because everything we deal with here has a beginning and an end. 2002 had a beginning, had an end. 2003 begins today, it'll have an end. But once Christ returns and sets up his kingdom, there will be a kingdom without any end. And we will talk and love and laugh and share testimonies. It's so beautiful to be in the body of Christ. Let's thank God again for everyone who's here. We're taking communion, Pastor Petri, Brian Petri is gonna come up here and serve communion, lead you in that in a moment. I just wanna encourage you about a very important subject for the new year, and it's found everywhere in the Old Testament, but especially in the New Testament, and that is the word faith, F-A-I-T-H. Everyone say faith. Faith is something that is amazing to trust, to lean on. In the Old Testament, the root meaning of the word trust or faith is to lean on something with all of your weight. to totally trust that I'm not falling. I know this is big enough, strong enough to hold me. I can't lean on that podium, but I can lean on this. That's what faith is. And faith in God, faith in Jesus, has a place in the Bible that there's just nothing else like it. Everything begins by faith. Love is the greatest of faith, hope, and love. But faith starts before love does. You trust before you love. And in the Old Testament, we're told that Abraham, the father of the Jewish people, he had faith in God. He believed God and his faith was counted as righteousness. and God accepted him and held him close and blessed him, not because he had lived a perfect life, but because he trusted God. And that was the picture of what would happen when Jesus comes, Jesus came. The just shall live by faith. You get saved by faith. Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you shall be saved. So imagine the power of faith. You're at one moment a sinner like we all are. You've disobeyed God. You're afraid of dying. I know if you're not a Christian here, you're afraid of dying because you know there's something beyond it. Intuition tells you that. And you're not prepared to meet God. And now, just by putting your faith in Jesus Christ and believing the good news that he loves you and he died for you, you pass from fear and darkness, spiritual darkness, into a place of blessing and rejoicing and confidence and a new heart and a new mind and a new future and a new purpose and it all is transferred by this word faith. Jesus Christ has no value to anyone unless they trust in him. Jesus Christ totally changes us as we trust him. So the world is divided right now. This audience is divided by people who have faith in Christ, lean on him with all of their weight, have him numero uno in su vida, or the people who have faith, no faith, or have faith. That's, everyone in the building is divided that way. Forget distinctions of what country you're from, España, or UK, or Brazil, or France, no, no, no. The way God looks at us here is, who trusts me? Who doesn't trust me? Or who trusts me, who doesn't trust me? And that's why, when Jesus was on the earth, this word faith came into such prominence. And it's strange about faith. People that you think would have faith don't have faith, even though they've been exposed to a lot of light and a lot of truth. And then people who you doubt whether they would ever believe, they believe and their life is transformed. Faith is a very mysterious thing. And did you know that unbelief causes such paralysis in our lives that Jesus could not do many miracles in his hometown of Capernaum, which was the city he chose to live in once he began his ministry right on the Sea of Galilee. And he could not do many miracles there because of their unbelief. When you don't have faith, if you're sitting here and listening and you're not even open to trusting in Jesus, you'll feel nothing, you'll experience nada, nothing. It's only when you believe with simple, childlike faith. I believe. So Jesus, the Son of God, was held back in his own hometown. He couldn't heal many people. He couldn't cast out evil spirits from people. Why? He was amazed at their unbelief. They wouldn't trust him. They wouldn't believe in him. They just wouldn't. And they knew the most about him. But that's what happens sometimes. People who come most to church have the least faith. and people who rarely come just come and they're like children, they just believe. Oh, I believe. When you read church history and you pastor as long as we have, You see these instances of people who you just scratch your head and you say, look at the faith that one has. Look at the unbelief. That one is gonna worry till the cows come home, even though God's been good to them year after year, they're worrying. Why are they worrying? They have no faith. When you have faith, you don't worry. When you have worry and you're overcome by anxiety and you're anxious about a lot of things, it's a sign you don't have faith. How many wanna trust God more in 2023 than you ever have before? More faith, more faith. So faith is this extraordinary, simple, childlike thing, and children many times at 10 years old have more faith than a 60-year-old theologian. Is that not true? They study, they study, they criticize, they critique the Bible, they intellectualize and they're so proud that they're looking into the Hebrew and the Greek and they experience nothing of what God can do. And then some 10 year old just believes and God does amazing things. So my job, our job is, I'm responsible to God to try to preach Christ and preach the word of God so that it will engender faith in you. Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God. So as the truth about Jesus is preached, the Word of God, when it's planted in an open, honest heart, it produces faith, and then everything changes. But then there's like this other power of faith that no one totally can understand, and I wanna see maybe if in the room today, There's people who are jammed up. You're jammed up as you go into the new year. You got a broken heart, you got a broken home, you got a broken finances, you got a broken mind. And that God might do something supernatural here because the only thing that brings that supernatural into play is faith. Not trying, don't make promises you'll be different. God knows us. He's interested in faith. Do you know that when Jesus was on earth, that was the only thing that impressed him? He never was impressed by one thing. Read the gospels, except for faith. One time a centurion came to him, wasn't even Jewish. An Italian centurion came to him and said, listen, my servant is sick at home and would you heal him please? Jesus said, I'll go with you. He said, no, no, no, no, no, no. I'm not worthy for you to come to my house. Just speak the word. Just say be healed and I know he'll be healed. Because I have authority and I tell people, go this way, they go this way. Soldiers that are under me, they obey me. And I know you have power. You have power, you are not an ordinary person. So just speak the word. And Jesus, before he did anything, said to his disciples, I've never seen anything like this. In all of Israel, I've never seen faith like this. Look at the faith the man has. He just says, matter of factly, just speak the word and it's done. I don't know about you, I want faith like that for this year. I got things facing me, our church does, you do. I want to see God increase our faith. So let me tell you briefly about a ruler, a leader in the synagogue back 2000 years ago, a nameless, faceless woman. that we read about, and then two blind men. They're all brought together in the space of not even 15 verses in the New Testament, in the Gospel of Matthew, so just read with me, and we'll look at it together. While he was saying this, a synagogue leader came and knelt before him and said, my daughter has just died, but come and put your hand on her and she will live. I mean, what kind of faith is that? My daughter is muerte, dead, but you just come because I know in my heart that death has to obey you." Imagine the faith. So Jesus goes with him, and then we'll read on here. Jesus got up and went with him, and so did his disciples. Just then, a woman who had been subject to bleeding, she had been hemorrhaging for 12 years, came up behind him and touched the edge of his cloak. So he's walking, there's all these crowds of people, and this lady, nameless, faceless, we don't know anything about her except that she had suffered a long time from this hemorrhaging, and she had spent all her money, we learned from another gospel, with doctors, these crank doctors they had back then who didn't know what to do, and lost all her money, was still hemorrhaging, gonna die, and she got it in her heart somehow. Like, I pray, God, just speak to somebody here today while I'm talking, God. She said, where'd she get this? I'm not worthy for him to talk to me or lay his hand on me, but if I can just touch the hem of his garment while he's walking, I know I'll be healed. So she creeps up, self-conscious, and she touches the hem of his garment. Read on. She said to herself, I only touch his cloak, I'll be healed. Jesus turned and saw her. Take heart, daughter, he said. Your faith has healed you. And the woman was healed at that moment. He didn't say, I healed you. He did. He said, your faith has healed you. Imagine the power of faith. Who is this lady? Has she been going to church for 100 years? Did she know all the Bible? We know nothing. We know nothing about her except she had this incredible faith that said, if I just touch the hem of his cloak, I'm gonna be well. And Jesus said, you believe that? Then that's what you get. Is that not amazing, the power of Jesus, when people trust him? Well, as he's walking on, he's gonna raise that child from the dead, but go on to the next verse, please, as we go on in the chapter. And then, no, that's a wrong verse. That's Matthew 27, 29. So that doesn't go. Let's take that out. Let me tell you the rest of the story. So as he's proceeding on to the house of the synagogue ruler, the Bible says he settles into a place, and as he settles into this, or as he's walking along the roadside, I should say, somebody starts yelling at him. Who's yelling at him? He's already met a synagogue leader. He's met this lady who he said, your faith has made you well. And he's sitting there, he says to, let me just find this, here he is. Two blind men come after him and they say, Jesus, son of David, have mercy on us. And the Bible tells us that they just yelled out at him. So he went into the house and they came in after him. And he said this to them, do you believe that I can do this? And they said, yes, you are not an ordinary man. We believe you can heal us. And he touched them. and prayed for them and their eyes were opened because he said, listen, according to your faith, so be it unto you. You get what you believe. Jesus has power to change every situation in our lives this year. Every day you hit a new problem, he's able to help you through it if you just believe and bring the problem to him. The synagogue leader brought that daughter. The lady bleeding, she brought her physical problem. These two men, what could they have known? See, I grew up around, if you live good enough, Jesus will do a miracle for you. But I was always saying to myself, I don't live good enough. Have you ever been caught in that trap? I've been, am I worthy, am I worthy? And Jesus just saw those blind men. He could not turn away faith. He said, no, one translation has this. According to your faith, it must be done to you. It must be done to you. So today, because we didn't have a chance last night, the Lord said in his word, my house shall be called a house of prayer, Jamal, if you would come. I wanna take time here to maybe see God change miraculously your situation. If you've come in here on the first day of the year, you're celebrating, but you got a heavy heart, you got a broken home, you got finances, you got a mess that you're looking at. That's okay. We've all had messes. How many in your life have faced a mess? Just lift your hand. We all have. But isn't it beautiful we can bring it to Jesus and say, Oh Jesus, I believe in you. Now I see why the disciples said, Lord, increase our faith. Now I know why a man said, Lord, I believe, but help my unbelief. I wanna trust you, Jesus, and see you miraculously change my situation. If he raised that girl from the dead, which he did, if he healed the woman with the issue of blood, the hemorrhaging, if he took two men's eyes and opened them, can't he solve your problem today? Come on, how many believe that he can solve your problem today? Only believe, only believe. all things are possible only believe this is this is jesus theology 101 come to him and believe in him hold on to him let's close our eyes if you're here today this is not a sermon this is an exhortation for you to believe in Jesus, to take your situation, it'll overwhelm you. It will overwhelm you, that mountain, it will discourage you, it'll depress you, or you can give it to Jesus and say, Jesus, I believe, Lord, I believe. He's the one who said, only believe all things are possible. Only believe in me. Don't try, don't fret, don't fuss, don't get discouraged. Only believe in me. If you're here today and say, pastor, I sense a faith in my heart in a new way. I want to give my problem to Jesus today and trust him. I believe he's going to change it. I'm not hoping he'll change it. I believe he will change my situation. I believe that. I'm not coming up for a perfunctory prayer. I'm coming up to touch the hem of his garment because I know he's going to change my situation. If you have a real tough one you're facing now on the first day of the year, just stand up where you are. Just stand up right where you are. Anybody here want to say, Pastor, pray. Pray with me. I'm believing Jesus to change it. I'm believing Jesus to turn it around. I don't care how impossible it seems. With God, nothing is impossible. Only believe. Only believe. Only believe. Only believe, Jesus said. Just trust him. Dare to step out and say, God, I'm gonna trust you. Don't look at the circumstances, don't look how the waves are roaring around you and the skies are dark. Look at Jesus today and say, I trust you, Jesus. If you're standing now, come out of your seat. Come on, quickly, come on, come on. Then we're gonna take communion and dismiss you. But come right now, if you're standing. Come on, down from the balcony. Come on, down. Step out, come. I don't care how big it is. I don't care how insurmountable it seems. Come on, does anyone have faith with me here in the building today? He opens blind eyes. That woman got healed of her hemorrhaging. and a dead girl was raised. Power of Jesus. And what was the common factor? They believed. Your faith has made you well, he said to the lady. He said to the blind man, it has to be so. According to your faith, so be it unto you. Come on, everyone who has faith for God to turn it around for 2023 on the first day of the year. Come on, singers. Jamal, lift the band up and let's sing. ♪ Only believe ♪ Only believe ♪ All things are possible If you have a wayward daughter or a wayward son and you believe Jesus, come on up here. Don't miss out. Let's lift up our hand. Lift up a hand, everyone. Sing it. The Lord is here. Just sing to him. Cast your care. Tell him from your heart, Lord, I know you're going to do this. Let's sing, Lord, I believe. Tell them, everyone, sing. Sing those words. Sing those words. All things are possible. Lord, I believe. I believe. I believe in your supernatural power.

Nothing is impossible to you Lord, we pray today for my brothers and sisters, my friends, whoever these folks are, Lord, I don't know them all. But they have, they have problems. They've got situations that only you can change. So we not only pray, we believe. We believe. We trust that you're gonna grant the desire of my heart that I just lifted to you. And for all my friends up here, you see what they're going through, Lord. Now they're reaching out and they're giving it to you and they're trusting you. Just like the woman who said, if I only touch the hem of his cloak, I know I'll be healed. We have that kind of faith in you today, Lord. Faith for the impossible, faith for the incredible. Faith for the supernatural. You are not dead, you're alive. Prove to everyone again, Lord, that you are alive and that you answer the prayer of faith. You said in your word, when you pray, believe that you receive and you shall have the very thing that you pray for. So we pray with faith. We pray with trust, we pray with confidence that you miraculously at this very moment things are happening elsewhere in the world that are going to bring about an answer Lord for us or some directly from your hand. Thank you for receiving blind people and lepers and people with hemorrhage and hopeless situations. Thank you that you're the Jesus of the darkest moment in our life. You can pull us out. There's no pit so deep that you don't reach deeper and get us out, Lord. So get everyone out of any kind of situation they're in today. How can I pray that? Because you're Jesus. You're the son of the living God. And you told us that nothing makes you happier than when your people trust you. And we trust you today. In Jesus' name, we pray this. And everyone said, amen. As these folks go back to their seats, can we just give God a hand clap of praise for what he's gonna do? Come on, he's gonna do that. Everybody go back to your seats. Everyone just stay steady Pastor Petri's coming now We're gonna sing Lord. I receive one last time. Okay while they're being seated Could you please sing wherever you are Lord? I receive I Come on, let's put our hands together and thank God for what he's gonna do, what he's done. You know, even as we thanked him for how he's gonna be faithful to answer, how you're trusting him for whatever that need is that you have, some of the need came forward, God's gonna, he's gotta be faithful. His reputation is at stake. He's not a man that he should lie, what he promises he does. And you know, all the things that we just were reminded of from scripture, the stories, these things happened before the cross. The stories are pictures of how Jesus captured people's attention so that focus would ultimately be drawn to what he would do on a cross. It's amazing to have blind eyes opened. It's incredible to lepers to be touched, healing to be given, people to be delivered from whatever demonic oppression is real. But they're all just signs to say, look at who I am and pay attention to what I'm going to do. Because the greatest need that we all have is not to be physically touched or spiritually have our circumstances altered in some way. The most important thing is for our lives to be transformed. that we would come to know the new birth that Jesus came to give. He came on a mission. He came for a mission, and the purpose of that mission was to die. The purpose of that mission was so that you and I would find forgiveness of sins. The purpose of that is so that we would be positioned to have an old life be put to the grave so that a new life could come out. the new life that we're celebrating, even as we remember what Jesus did. I grew up in a tradition. I grew up Catholic. And in the Catholic tradition, when you would go to celebrate the elements, you would talk about it in terms of the Eucharist. And as a kid, I would go, OK, we're going to take Eucharist. And I went through what you're supposed to do. And I would celebrate the Eucharist. But I didn't get even what it was. Like, I thought Eucharist was about the bread. I thought it was like a Latin word given to the bread that you're actually taking. The word actually just means thanksgiving. Oftentimes when people take the elements, the bread and the wine, we forget what we're actually, we're celebrating something. Jesus, on the night that he was betrayed, he sat everybody down that was following him and he said, listen, I'm gonna do something. I'm gonna take this bread and I'm gonna thank God for it. He's celebrating this. Let's just focus on what he actually did when he broke the bread. He took bread and he broke it and he gave thanks for it. And it's a picture of what Jesus would do with his own life on a cross. His mission was to come, not to heal people, not to just set people free from a moment of demonic oppression. It was that people would come to find forgiveness of their sins. And his body, the bread that he broke was a picture of his body and how it would be broken on Calvary, on a cross. And that broken body, it was either him or me. It was either him or you. And God stepped in to the judgment that we deserve. Now, some of you might be sitting here. This is a celebration, by the way, for believers whose lives have been transformed. I grew up, I had no idea what I was celebrating and I would go through the motions. I would encourage you today, don't celebrate this unless you've had a transformation of heart. Jesus has changed you that you've got every reason to give thanks today for what he's done. And if you haven't been changed, born again, life transformed, altered, you know when it happens. If you're sitting here and you're saying, what does that even mean? Have I been born again? Then you probably haven't been. When Jesus came into my life and changed me, it altered everything that I was and everything that I wanted to do. And nobody had to teach me about it. It was a life that sprung forth from the inside and it was new, I knew it. I didn't know what it was before, but when it happened, because I put my hope in what we're celebrating right now, it changed me forever. And it started to change when I understood that there was judgment that was over my life. There's judgment over every person because sin separates us from God. And God knows that there's nothing you and I can do to change that. That's why celebrating communion is so humbling because it's an acknowledgement to God and it's an acknowledgement publicly that there is nothing I can do to clean myself up. I can't change myself. I can't make promises to get myself in a better position before God. Jesus had to come and do for me what I could never do for myself. He came to save me. It's a humbling thing. So you shouldn't really celebrate it unless you take that position. When I started to understand that Jesus' body was broken for me, that there was actual judgment that was waiting over my life, it sobered me up. And it made me begin to think, why would there have to be judgment? Do you know God's not gonna let this thing go on forever without ultimate judgment? And thank God for that, that's an expression of love. Because if we had to eternally live out this mess that we're in right now, that wouldn't be anything close to heaven, it'd be a little bit closer to hell. But Jesus came to give people an opportunity to be able to be free from sin. One day we'll see it as they were celebrating earlier in the songs they were singing. Jesus is gonna come back and he's gonna eventually separate the reality of sin and people that aren't in a position where sin controls them anymore. And thank God for that. That's what heaven's gonna be. But the bread we're celebrating is the broken thing that had to happen, because God is gonna judge what sin is. And Jesus came to take that judgment so that you and I would never have to face it. Here's the hope. If you've put your trust in what Jesus did on a cross and having his body broken, we're celebrating today that he took our place. He came and he lived out a life that you and I couldn't live, so that on a cross, he could offer himself as a substitution. as somebody who would receive the punishment that you and I deserved. There's no other religion in the world that takes a position where God came into the world to do for us what He expected us to become. He expects us to be like Him. I could never be that. But He came knowing, and Jesus came for the purpose of being broken. His body broken, his body judged. He took your place in judgment so that God could never judge you again. Imagine that. We're celebrating something so amazing with communion because Jesus came, if you would, open up the bottom side of this little cup, take out the bread. This little thing represents the broken body of Jesus. And we're gonna take it in a second. but I just want you to consider before you take it. We're leaving 2022 and all that that means behind us, and we're getting ready to launch into 2023. And we wanna go into this new year as a people who understand what it is that Jesus took our brokenness and took our place in a position that we deserve. But to appreciate that, you've gotta do a little inventory. We're gonna read a passage of scripture in a second, and in it, it speaks of, you don't just take this flippantly. You don't just take communion in a way that's not considered and thoughtful. Jesus came into the world to be broken for you and I, then we gotta take a second and say he was broken because he was trying to deal with sin in a completely thorough way so that it would no longer have sway over our life. And if you're sitting here today like me and you think, well, I can look at 2022 in my track record and go, it still has some sway over my life. It's gotten me in different ways. Just know this. When you celebrate this, Jesus is saying, what you deserve because of it will never affect you anymore. Because I took your place and I took that judgment completely. God can't judge you anymore for your sin because Jesus took it completely. He was broken so that you would never be broken. He was judged so that you and I forever would be loved. That is something to celebrate, amen? That's something to be thankful for today. So, would you take a second, and just before we take the bread, consider your life, consider the things that have happened in 2022, even maybe before you came in here today, last night. Think about it. Those things that please God, those things that don't please God, those things that would separate you from Him. Be mindful of them. Right now, be mindful of them. And as you're being mindful of them, Scripture says that on the night that he was betrayed, He says this, for what I received from the Lord. This is Paul speaking. The Lord Jesus on the night he was betrayed took bread and then he gave thanks. He gave thanks because Jesus is gonna be broken for your sin. Jesus is gonna endure the cross. He endured it giving thanks. He went to a cross celebrating what it would mean because on the other side of him being broken, you and I would be able to be loved. He said, take this bread. And when he gave thanks for it, he broke it and he said, this is my body which is for you. Do this in remembrance of me. Would you take the bread right now in remembrance of how Jesus took your punishment and mine and celebrate it. We thank you today, God. We thank you for the precious body that you gave up as a substitution for us. Thank you that you were broken, that we wouldn't have to be. We celebrate it today. We give thanks to you today, knowing that even as you were broken, now we're positioned to be loved. It goes on and it says... It goes on and it says this, in the same way after supper, he took the cup and he said, this cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this whenever you drink it in remembrance of me for whenever you eat this bread and you drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord's death until he comes again. So the blood, what's the point of it? You gotta understand it, we're gonna celebrate it. Jesus' blood represents life. The wine represents blood, which represents our life. Jesus lived perfectly for 33 and a half years. He lived and satisfied every requirement that God would ever have over a human's life. And in that, he perfectly fulfilled all that man would have to be to live in a relationship with God. And in that place, on a cross, he shed his blood freely, knowing that as that blood was shed, that would become the thing that would cleanse you and I. As we identify with it in faith, as we say, God, we believe that you came, you send your son into this world to shed that blood, to live out a life perfect, a life that I could never live, so that as I put my hope in it, that application would be put to my life. That blood would cover me over. And into eternity, beginning now, whenever that moment was that you put your hope in that shed blood, God would have to look at you the same way that he looks at his son. How does the father look at the son? In complete perfection, wholly. Bible says that in Hebrews in the 10th chapter, we've been perfected forever. those who are being made holy. So here we are, we're celebrating something today that is like nothing else. We're going into this new year celebrating shed blood for me, covers me. The God above that I know is holy, that I'm not much like, now sees me through the eyes of his son, through the blood that was shed, and he receives me forever. No matter what you've done yesterday, last week, last year, whatever will happen tomorrow, It can't separate you from the love of God. The shed blood makes you acceptable before a father. Can we take that down together and celebrate it? God, we thank you. for the shed blood of your son. We thank you for what that means to us in this moment, that you can look at us as we put our hope in that, as we trust in it. We can thank you, God, today that you see us even as you see him, perfect, holy, acceptable. And God, as we celebrate that, we're asking now that you would make these truths more real to us today, more real in this new year, like never before. Broken bodies, shed blood, what that means for us, Lord, that we can live, not just in this moment, in a day of celebrating and giving thanks for this Eucharist that has been given on our behalf. We celebrate it, God, today, but God, make this alive in us, the tomorrow and the days to come. We would live lifestyles of Thanksgiving for all that you've done. Pray that you would do this in Jesus' name. One last thing. Here's the amazing part of celebrating communion. God can't judge me anymore because he judged his son. And God can't see the imperfections of my life because Jesus' blood covers over my issues. Because of that, God now can come into the place of my greatest need. Your need is not in your circumstances or what's happening in your world. The greatest need that you have is inside of you. And because you've been forgiven and because judgment has been taken, His Spirit can now come. and be with you. The hope of the new year is what Jesus did 2,000 years ago on the cross. The hope of this new year is that God now is obligated to walk with me because my sins have been forgiven and my judgment has been taken. He is now Christ alive, Emmanuel, with me. Here, born again, just means this, because these things have happened, his spirit can come and now be with me in the most intimate way, shaping my thoughts, my affection, and my choices, leading me in a way that's gonna bring blessing so that in this new year, I'll have life like never before. Amen. Come on, let's stand up. We're gonna go out of here on a song of triumph. There is power in the blood.

Come on, can we put our hands together and thank God for what we've been given in Jesus. God, we thank you for this service. We thank you for all the ways our hearts have been encouraged. We thank you for faith that you've made more alive. We thank you for Jesus and all that he's made real to us because of Calvary. And God, I pray for people as they leave here, would you be with them? May this next year be the greatest year of blessing that they've ever known. God, as they look to you, as they trust in you, as you make alive in them the life that you've given them, that Jesus would be glorified in all that they do. We give you this day. We thank you for it. Jesus precious name. We all said, amen. Listen, Tuesday night, we're going to be here. We're going to worship God. We're going to enter into this new year calling on him.
