Esau, initially you remember way back he talked Esau into selling his birthright which is the craziest thing if you go back and read that and then here in Genesis 28 he deceives his father because his mother talks him into it because his mother was so just frustrated with the women that Esau had married, she didn't want anything else to go to Esau and these women, I'm sure, so she began to connive and to create this plan, and she talked Jacob into dressing up like Esau, even to the point of putting skins on his hands so he was hairy like his brother, because Jacob, he was a soy boy, he was pretty and smooth and clean, and so he put all this hair on the back of his neck, and here, Here Isaac is dying. He goes, you sound like Jacob, but you smell like Esau. Come here, let me touch you. I mean, he goes, I don't get it, you know. It smells smells like him and feels like him and and he gives him the blessing right and just as he walks out Esau comes in with the venison and It says Isaac begins to tremble and he can't see remember. He's blind. He's so old He's blind and he said who are you goes? I'm your son Esau and I brought the venison the savory meat and he goes. Oh, no. Oh And Esau says, I've been supplanted these two times by my brother. And so anyway, they realize, you know, things in the home aren't going so hot. And these two brothers are, there's going to be a, there's going to be a battle here pretty soon. And so Rebecca takes Jacob and says, Hey, tell you what, why don't you go to my family and get away for a little while and go, go there. Okay. And so he does, he packs up and he leaves and he's going over to Haran. to where his mother was from. And so on the way there God stops him and he talks to him. Remember God had made a covenant with his grandfather Abraham. He made the same covenant, reissued the covenant, you could say revisited the covenant, reestablished, that's the word I'm looking for, reestablished the covenant with his father Isaac and now he is stopping Jacob and he's gonna make the covenant with Jacob also. And you can see that in Genesis chapter 28, and you can see that all the way down verses 10 through 20. And I was going to read those. I don't know if we really have time. And let's look at verse 10. We'll see how far we get here. And Jacob went out from Beersheba and went toward Haran. And he lighted upon a certain place and tarried there all night, because the sun was set. And he took up the stones of that place, and he put them for his pillows and lay down. in that place to sleep. How do you think that my pillow guy, he could have made a fortune back then, right? And anyway, verse 12, And he dreamed, and behold, a ladder set up on the earth, and the top of it reached to heaven. And behold, the angels of God ascending and descending on it. And behold, the Lord stood above it and said, I am the Lord God of Abraham thy father, and the God of Isaac, and the land wherein thou liest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed and thy seed shall be as the dust of the earth and thou shalt spread abroad to the west and to the east and to the north and to the south and in thee and in thy seed shall all of the families of the earth be blessed and behold I am with thee and will keep thee in all places whither thou goest, and I will bring thee again into this land, for I will not leave thee until I have done that which I have spoken to thee of. And Jacob awaked out of his sleep, and he said, Surely the Lord is in this place, and I knew it not. And he was afraid, and he said, How dreadful is this place! This is none other but the house of God, And this is the gate of heaven. And Jacob rose up early in the morning, and he took the stone that he had put for his pillows, and he set it up for a pillar, and poured oil upon the top of it. And he called the name of that place Bethel. But the name of that city was called Luz at the first. And Jacob vowed a vow, saying, If God be with me and will keep me in this way that I go, and will give me bread to eat and raiment to put on, so that I come again to my father's house in peace, then shall the Lord be my God. And this stone which I have set for a pillar shall be God's house. and all that thou shalt give me I will surely give the tenth unto it." Here's the second time actually before the institution of the law and those people that like to whine about tithing and giving and say tithing was Old Testament, it's the law. Well we know Abraham and now we see Jacob both tithed before the giving of the law. Right? Tithing is not a law issue. Tithing is a child of God issue. It is the way God raises His children, right? I believe as Adrian Rogers said, God doesn't use tithing to raise money, He uses it to raise children. And we learn to obey and trust God that way. But anyway, this is where we are coming to in chapter 29. He now has his own relationship with God. He is not riding on the shirt tails of his father or his mother or on his grandfather. He has a relationship with Jehovah God on his own. And this is really true of us as well. Right? You can't have a relationship with God based on your parents or your grandparents' relationship. He is a personal God. It is between you and Him. That would be like a little kid thinking that he's married because his mom and dad are married. Well, that's silly, right? I mean, they play like that or they may say things like that, but you know what? You know when that little guy will get married? When he says, I do. And the girl is dumb enough to say, I do back. And that's when it will be real for him, right? Amen. But Jacob is about to enter some relationships on the human level. And let's just say this, they're not gonna turn out so well. Okay, but it's not Jacob that we're going to focus on tonight. There's another individual who's going to learn a valuable lesson. And let me tell you this tonight. It's a lesson we must learn ourselves. We've got to learn this. And if you want a title for tonight, I don't ever get always give titles. I usually have them, but I don't always remember to say them. But the title tonight, the message is when when God is enough, when God is enough. That's quite a thought, actually. And so here in verses one through 13 of chapter 29, there's a great family reunion. Jacob makes it to Haran, and he comes into the east country, and here he's gonna meet some men as he comes in around a well with three flocks of sheep. And he asked them, where are you from? And they said, well, Haran. And he says, hey, good, do you know Laban? Do you know who Laban is, the son of Nahor? They say, well, yeah, we know who Laban is. And he says, well, how is he? Well, he's well, right? And listen, he wasn't texting every day for the journey to Hey, Ran, right? I mean, I don't know about you, I'm kind of weird. Sometimes I miss the days of leaving the store and then just showing up at home when you get home without having to text. I'm leaving the store, almost there. I mean, I don't have to, but we just get in that pattern, don't we? And I don't know, I'm just weird like that. And it's nice to have communication, it really is. But sometimes, maybe it's just the weird reminiscing when you get older, I don't know what it is. But they didn't do all of this stuff, okay? He just showed up and he doesn't know if Laban is alive or anything. And so he finds out he is. He's doing well. And he says, yeah, he's doing fine. And here comes his daughter Rachel, actually, coming with the sheep. And so we see here, And look at chapter 29 and look at verse 3, there's flocks gathered, they rolled the stone from the well's mouth and watered the sheep and put the stone again on the well's mouth in its place. And Jacob said unto them, my brethren, whence be ye? And they said, of Haran are we? And he said unto them, know you Laban the son of Naor? And they said, we know him. And he said unto them, is he well? And they said, he's well. And behold, Rachel his daughter cometh with the sheep. And he said, Lo, it is yet high day, neither is it time that the cattle should be gathered together. Water ye the sheep, and go and feed them. He's giving a little lesson on how to raise sheep and how to take care of the cattle, right? and they said, We cannot until the flocks be gathered together, until they roll the stone from the well's mouth, we can water the sheep. And so they were waiting for all of the flocks to show up before they took the rock off the well's mouth. And while Jacob was waxing eloquent, That's what I'm thinking of. While he was waxing eloquent on the rules of shepherding, Rachel comes trotting along with her father's sheep. And let's just say this, that Jacob was smitten pretty quickly. He noticed her right off. Look at verse nine. And while he had spake with them, Rachel came with her father's sheep, for she kept them. And it came to pass when Jacob saw Rachel, the daughter of Laban, his mother's brother, And, and, don't miss this one, and the sheep of Laban, his mother's brother. And Jacob went near and rolled the stone from the well's mouth and watered the flock of Laban, his mother's brother. And Jacob kissed Rachel and lifted up his voice and wept." Wow, this guy was smitten, huh? And Jacob told Rachel that he was near her, was her father's brother and that he was Rebekah's son. And she ran and told her father and it came to pass when Laban heard the tidings of Jacob, his sister's son. that he ran to meet him, and embraced him, and kissed him, and brought him into his house. And he told Laban all these things. And Laban said unto him, Surely thou art my bone and my flesh. And he abode with him a space of a month. And Laban said unto Jacob, Because thou art my brother, shouldest thou therefore serve me for nought? So he's working now. He's been working for a month. And Laban says, Well, come on. You got to have some wages. Tell me what to pay you for working for me and just stay on and work for me and tell me what you want for pay." And he didn't have to think twice about that. He said, I'll tell you what I want. I want Rachel. I want Rachel." Laban says, better give her to you than somebody else. I can do that. And so, you know, we're going to see a marriage set up here in just a little bit. But I want to show you a couple things here. You know, I mean, this is a cultural thing that we don't fully understand when you meet somebody and the weeping and the kissing and all of these things. I mean, now granted, they, you know, I know when we would come and make our yearly trek for those years that we lived outside of Missouri, we'd make that yearly trek back to Missouri. And I tell you this, my grandmother cried when we showed up and she cried when we left. And she'd say this sometimes, I don't think the goodbyes are worth the hellos. or the hellos are worth the goodbyes. You know, worth putting up for the, you know, it was so hard on her to watch us pack up in that old car and just take off again and leave it with you. Again, no phones, no this, no that. I mean, you just, you know, we might get a phone call every once in a while. You know how it was, right? And so here they are, I mean, they're reuniting, this is family, this is flesh, it is blood, I mean, it's that cultural way of, they kiss one another when they say hello, maybe on each cheek, just real quick. But I want you to notice what Jacob noticed. Number one, he noticed Rachel, absolutely, we understand that. But he also says, and the sheep. He went cha-ching. That's money sitting right here. He noticed that. He noticed the possessions. Yeah. possessions, Rachel for his heart, the sheep for his billfold. That's what he noticed, right? And he's come to the realization that his uncle Laban is a pretty rich guy and he's got one good-looking daughter and he's going to plan this thing out. And this is going to be one of the character flaws of Jacob that God works out of Jacob's life. He's finagled Esau out of his birthright, he's deceived his father for the blessing, we've talked about that. and now with the blessing and the birthright, he's got the blessing, he's got the birthright, now the prospects of adding to his possession are looking pretty good. Let me explain real quick before we go on. I know I've explained this before in the past and it's been a long time, but listen, the blessing was meaning that he had, after the father would die, that child took over all of the, what we'd say the management and the continuing just the moving of all of the father's property, of the house, of everything. Essentially, he got everything, okay? That was the birthright. That was the blessing. Everything was given to him and the birthright was the funds and all of the stuff that contained in the home to allow him to monetarily carry on what the father has started. And so here we have Esau gets, or Jacob gets both of the, He gets the birthright and, of course, he gets the blessing from his father. It's all his. He has all of the possessions. Jacob's got it all. Esau got nothing, right? And this is one of the things he's noticing. Here it is again. He's noticed Rachel, and now he's noticed all of the sheep. And so, it's with this blessing, it's with the birthright of that. I mean, things are looking up for Jacob now. I mean, he's getting ready to add to what he already has, and he's liking this. So we see here Rachel runs home, right? She tells her dad. Laban brings him in. Your family hangs around. And then finally in verses 15 through 19, we're going to get the marriage proposal. Now look at verse 15. Look what it says. And Laban said unto Jacob, Because thou art my brother, Shouldest thou therefore serve me, for not tell me what thy wages shall be? And Laban had two daughters, the name of the elder was Leah, and the name of the younger was Rachel. So here it is, Leah, she's the oldest, Rachel, she is the youngest. But notice there's another division between the two of them, and it's a genetic division. It's who they are, right? Leah, watch this, verse 17, Leah was tender-eyed. But Rachel was beautiful and well-favored. Now, there's a lot of discussion with the word tender-eyed means, right? I know what it doesn't mean. It doesn't mean beautiful and well-favored, because this is a compare and contrast going on here. What does tender-eyed mean? Some say it has to do with her mental capacity. Maybe she was just a little bit slower, right? Some say it has to do with her looks, right? She just didn't look as good. Obviously, we know this from the text, her sister, Rachel, surpassed her in looks. It says it right there, right? And so, although, listen, we don't know exactly what tender-eyed means, right? But I think it's safe to say that in this compare and contrast that Rachel rates a little bit higher than her older sister Leah in the eyes of culture and society and just human nature. So really verse 18, this marriage was a business proposal. I know we don't understand this in our culture at all. We don't get this at all. But this is exactly what it was. Look at verse 18, and Jacob loved Rachel and said, I will serve thee seven years for Rachel thy younger daughter. What? That's a lot of work. I mean, it shows you what Jacob thought of Rachel. I mean, what woman wouldn't like that, when the man says, here it is, you're gonna work seven years and then you can get married to my daughter. And the guy goes, you got it, I'll work seven years. Oh, come on ladies, you're like, oh, that's pretty nice, yeah. Right? He thinks a lot of you. Now, what if he says, hey, can we negotiate for three and a half? Because I've got another run over, you know, come on. Right? I mean, this is just a business transaction, but it shows, listen, this transaction shows Jacob's heart for Rachel. I mean, he was smitten by her. He wanted to marry her. He said, absolutely. I'll work seven years. The Bible says that those seven years seemed like nothing to him for his love for Rachel. I mean, he was he was just enamored. enamored with her and he wanted to marry her. And so he accepts the offer in verse 19. And then in verse 20, and Jacob served seven years for Rachel. Oh, there it is. And they seemed unto him, but a few days for the love that he had for her. In verse 21, Jacob said unto Laban, Give me my wife, for my days are fulfilled, that I may go in unto her. And Laban gathered together all the men of the place, made a feast, had a big wedding celebration. It came to pass in the evening that it's time that he gets Rachel for his wife, and the next day he realizes, wait a minute, the sun has risen on a new day, and it's a terrible day for Jacob. He gets up and the sun's up and he realizes it's Leah, the tender-eyed one. This is a bad deal for Jacob. He's worked seven years. He didn't work seven years for Leah. Didn't mean they didn't maybe just get along and like each one another like a prospective sister-in-law or something like that, right? But he didn't want to marry her. Yeah. And so this is crazy. Look at verse 23. It came to pass in the evening that he took Leah his daughter, and brought her to him. And he went in under her, and Laban gave unto his daughter Leah Zilpah his maid for a handmaid. And it came to pass in the morning, behold, it was Leah. Behold is like, huh? It was Leah, right? And he said to Laban, what is this thou hast done unto me? Did not I serve thee for Rachel? Wherefore then hast thou, oh, look at these words, beguiled me. Beguiled me. Yeah. Don't forget, you reap what you sow. Over in Galatians, be not deceived, God is not mocked. Whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. And Jacob is beginning to reap what he has sown in his life. But this isn't the point of what we're getting at. I'm giving you a lot of backstory. This is just the introduction, okay? But have you noticed what God's allowed here? He's allowed Jacob to take advantage of his father's inability to see, and now he has allowed Laban to take advantage of Jacob's inability to see. So Jacob got what he wanted by Deception and Laban got what he wanted by deception. What did he want? He wanted his oldest daughter to get married because she probably wasn't going to get married. And so, it's kind of fascinating that in the seven years nothing was ever mentioned about their cultural norms of weddings and marriage, right? It's kind of interesting. Laban explains why Leah has to go first, and Laban tells, what's the guy's name, Jacob, just fulfill her for the week, right? Finish out the whole ceremony thing, okay? Get all that finished up, then I'll give you Rachel, and then you'll work for me another seven years. Now he got Rachel up, he didn't have to wait another seven years. He got her after seven years, but he still had to let work for another seven years. So he worked for her for 14 years. And he was, I mean, he was upset at how this all went down, obviously, but 14 years for Rachel, that was fine to him. He stayed. He stayed, right? He was kind of over a barrel, actually, right? Come on. He had already consummated one marriage, and he still wants Rachel, so it's like, okay, we're going to go on with this. What weirdness. I mean, for us in our culture, it's like, what on earth? This is so crazy. But I find verse 30 incredibly sad. Look at verse 30. And he went in also unto Rachel, and he loved also Rachel more than Leah, and served with him yet seven other years. It was pretty well known to everybody that he loved Rachel and he didn't love Leah. He was stuck with, this was something in his life that he was stuck with. And we're gonna find out that Leah is stuck with him as well. Is there a woman on the planet that wants to be in a marriage relationship with a guy that absolutely disdains her and doesn't want anything to do with her? She was stuck with him too. So I wanted to show you something here. Look at verse 32. Children begin to come. And Leah conceived, and bare a son, and called his name Reuben. For she said, Surely the Lord hath looked upon my affliction. Now therefore my husband will love me. No, this is something cultural here of getting a son. I mean, this was a big deal, right? She provided, you know, she gave birth to a son to her husband. Certainly he's going to be esteemed in society. And I have done something good for him. Surely now he will love me. Certainly now he will. And she conceived again and bear a son and said, because the Lord had heard that I was hated. This is just it's terrible. He hath therefore given me a son also, and she called his name Simeon. Now look at verse 34, And she conceived again, and bare a son, and said, Now this time will my husband be joined unto me, because I have borne him three sons. Therefore his name is called Levi. Hold on, this whole thing of bearing a son, it's not working. She comes to the third son, and she's hoping, well, okay, finally, Levi, maybe this one will do it. Maybe now he'll be joined unto me. Maybe now he'll love me. Maybe now he'll be satisfied with me. And verse 35, and she conceived again, and bear a son, and she said, now will I praise the Lord. Notice what Leah hopes for with each son. Verse 32, now therefore will my husband love me? Verse 33, because the Lord heard that I was hated. Verse 34, now this time will my husband be joined unto me? I'm telling you, in this culture, a woman that could give her husband sons was a status of God's blessing on that man's life. And not only was it a sign of blessing, but the men seemed to be closer to the wife that gave them more sons. But this wasn't the case here. With the birth of each son, Leah hoped that Jacob would love her, but it never happened. It never happened. In fact, we have no record of Jacob ever loving in spite of the eight sons that she gives him. Six were from her, two from her handmaid. But in spite of all of those, we don't have any record of all. Actually, if you go back and look at when Jacob decides to leave Laban and he packs up all of his things and he's going back to Bethel per se, he runs into Esau, remember that? And he begins to prepare himself to be wiped out by his brother, so what does he do? He puts all of his sheep, all the gifts that he's going to give his brother, the sheep and the cattle, his servants go out front, and then after his servants, after the cattle, after all of these things, and then watch, because watch, he's putting out front what he doesn't care gets killed. And as you watch, as he moves back, he's putting the things that are more valuable to him. Do you know what goes before him? and Rachel and Joseph, Leah and her sons. He says, if he gets through my servants, if he wipes out my animals, okay, if he wipes out Leah and my other sons, I still have Rachel. And so she comes to the realization that what she was hoping for, watch, what she was hoping for in life, what she was hoping for fulfillment, what she was hoping for something to fill what she was looking for, the void in her life, she came to the realization it would have never happened. Yeah. You know, Rachel's barren this whole time. Right? She hasn't had any kids. When she finally does have a son, they're going to name him Joseph. Listen, Jacob's favor is so obvious. All of his brothers that are the sons of Leah can't stand him. The jealousy. What a mess. It really is. It's pretty sad, actually. All Leah wanted was to be accepted by her husband. She didn't ask for the marriage. Right? She didn't want it, but there was still a possibility. She hoped that she could have a normal marriage relationship like any man or woman desires. But the one thing that she wanted, it was never going to happen. Would you notice though verse 35 again? And she conceived again and bare a son, and she said, She didn't say, now will my husband be close to me, now will he love me, now the Lord knows I'm hated. She didn't say any of that. Look what she said. And she conceived again and bared her son and she said, now will I praise the Lord. Now will I praise the Lord. I love that. She had hoped that each son would bring her closer, that her husband would become closer with each son, but he didn't. So when Judah was born, she said, I'll praise the Lord now. This is our title. Leah finally came to the place in her life when God was enough. When God was enough. She didn't have the relationship she wanted. She didn't have the marriage she wanted. She didn't have maybe the societal acceptance that she thought she might want. There's contention between her and her sister. No, there's some real major things that were lacking in her life that became evident she was never going to have them. And when that realization came, she said, It took her a while. She said, now the Lord is enough. God's enough. Now I will praise the Lord. She became satisfied with God. I think you remember me telling you this several years ago. A guy came by the church. It was after church or before. I forget which one. I think it was after. And it was telling me that his wife had left him and he's going through all of these things. And, you know, it's just this hopeless scenario that she wasn't coming back. And one of these times you're going, Lord, what do I say here? And he was it was just a bad case and he didn't think it was ever going to get fixed. And the only thing I asked him was if she never comes back, will Jesus be enough? That's what you need to find out. Can I tell you, He can be. He can be enough if you let Him. He absolutely can. She finally became satisfied with God. She realized that all of these things that were fine things and there are natural things and there are things that should have been and could have been, all of these things that she wanted for life, that anybody else would want for life, that really, that God wants for our life. But you know what, sometimes we realize in our life we don't, we're not always getting everything that we think we ought to have. and we have a choice to make in our life. We have a choice. We can either grouse in these things or constantly be trying to find the fulfillment that we're looking for in things or we can just stop and be satisfied with God Himself. Because really there's nothing better. Right? Can I tell you tonight, if you never get enough money in your bank account, God's enough. If you never have the sharpest mind or the greatest mind that some of your friends have, can I tell you, he's still enough. If you never have the talents that you wish you had, that you watch somebody else has, if you never have the talents, can I tell you, he's still enough. He really is. If you never have the health that you long for, and the ability that you desire to have, and the hopes that you had of having this type of activity in your life, and this type of health in your life, can I tell you, if you never have it, he's enough. He is enough. If you never have the relationship that you long for, Jesus is enough. Do you really believe that? You know, recognize it or not, we all, listen, we all have something that we depend upon to bring fulfillment and acceptance into our life. Whether it's a relationship, whether it's a job, whether it's finances, whether it's self-help and betterment and all of these things. Listen, you can go to the end of your life trying to find fulfillment in all of these things. And can I tell you, you can stop tonight and find all of your fulfillment in Jesus Christ. How many of you here tonight are saved can say with an amen he's enough? He's enough. That's why we don't need the alcohol. I don't need the drugs. I don't need all the entertainment that the world has. I don't need it. Alright? We don't need all these things. Why? Because he's enough. Do you know why marijuana is getting ready to be voted on in the state? Right? Because people have... I love this. We're told that we have a crutch. Oh, you guys, that religion is just a crutch. Well, our crutch is a person. Your crutch is a drug. And you still have a crutch. But my crutch loves me. Your crutch hates you. It does. Let me give you some reasons to be satisfied with God. Psalm 34, eight, oh, taste and see that the Lord is good. Amen. He's good, amen. Blessed is the man that trusteth in him. Psalm 27, 10, when my father and my mother forsake thee, then the Lord will take me up. Hallelujah. What a powerful verse that is. Jeremiah 31.3, the Lord hath appeared of old unto me, saying, Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love. Therefore, with lovingkindness have I drawn thee. Jesus said, No man comes unto me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him. You know why the Father draws? You know, it's the difference between us and the Calvinists. We believe the Bible. Well, we know the Bible says that God draws everyone. He draws everyone. How do you know that? John 1, He's the light. He is that light that lighteth every man that cometh into the world. Jesus said, If I be lifted up, I will draw all men unto Me. Over in 1 John 2, He says He is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world. Amen. Why? Because He loves you. Yeah. Over in First John, I think it is. Behold what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God. Amen. Hebrews 13, five, let your conversation be without covetousness and be content with such things as you have, for he hath said, I will never leave thee nor forsake thee. See with one great statement Leah decided that God was enough. And because she came to the place of deciding He was enough, you know what she was able to do? In spite of her situation, in spite of her circumstances, in spite of her longings, in spite of the desires that she still maybe had in her life, she was able to praise God. Praise Him. It could be that tonight you just need to come to a place in your life and put a stake in the ground and decide whether God's gonna be enough for you or not. Because when you do that, you know what you'll be able to really start doing? From a heart, you'll be able to start praising Him. And let me warn you of this, you'll never be satisfied in this life until you do. Is He enough? Is He enough for you? Whether the relationship works out, whether the family works out, whether your plans come to fruition, is He enough when everything blows up? Is He enough when everything falls apart? Is He enough when the plans don't come together like you thought you would? Is He enough when the prayers don't come together like you thought they would? Is He enough? Friend, this life is going to pass away. It's going to be gone. You know what we're going to have? We're going to have Him for the rest of eternity. We're going to have Him. Father, I want to thank you tonight for Jesus. I want to thank you that you have proven over and over again in our own life and in the lives of others, we have seen it over and again, that you're enough. That you're all we need. You're more than we need. You're better than we need. Anything in this world that we could ever heap upon ourselves would never even match up or come close to what we really have in you. And I'm thankful for that. Lord, we thank you for the Lord Jesus and the plan of salvation. There could be somebody here tonight that has never met the Lord Jesus. They've never been saved. Could be somebody watching online tonight. They've never been born again of the spirit of God. They've never come to you personally on their own and confessed and acknowledged that they were a sinner and believed, put their faith and trust in that work on Calvary, in the precious blood of Jesus and asked for it to be applied to their account. They've never done that. They've never been born again. Father, I pray that Holy Spirit tonight would draw them tonight, that they would come to Jesus and give their heart to Jesus and come with confession and repentance and faith. Would you do that work tonight? And maybe there's somebody here tonight, Father, that just needs to Just to visit it one more time, they just need to visit it again and make you enough. Well, thank you for what you do tonight in Jesus' name. Amen. Why don't you stand tonight if you would? The piano's about to play, and we'll play, and the invitation is open. People are praying. I don't know what the need you have in your life tonight. But is God enough for you? Is He all of your satisfaction? Is He everything that you need? I'm not saying that we, you know, this doesn't mean you go and live in a cave and just have nothing and eat grass the rest of your life. That's silly. But it's a priority. And you know what we find out? Listen, you can have all the other necessities of life. Right? You gotta work, you gotta live, you gotta have money, you gotta eat, you gotta do all these things. But listen, when Jesus, when you make Jesus all that you need. All of those other things fall right into place. If you were to die tonight, do you know what would happen? If you were to die tonight, do you know where you would go? Where you would spend eternity? If you're watching online and you don't know, you can You can call in, you can write in, you can email in. We can take you the Word of God and show you how you can know that you can be saved. If you're here tonight and you've never been born again, we can take the Bible tonight and show you how you can know that your sins are forgiven and you can be born again of the Spirit of God and immediately a child of God. Whatever the need is tonight, you come.
