Well, good morning, everyone. I want to also welcome those of
you who are new with us here to Forward.
And if you're already connected to forward, you've been
journeying with us for a while, you know that we've been walking
through the book of Luke for the last number of months, but we're
going to take a pause on the book of Luke as we move into the
Easter season. So if you would take your
Bibles, open up to the Gospel of John chapter 5, John chapter 5,
it's page 946. If you are using one of the
Bibles in the seat underneath of you, you can grab that.
If you don't have a Bible that is our gift to you, please take
that home with you and use that just as you're opening up to
John chapter 5. I was reflecting this week on
how much I love a good mystery story.
I I love like seeing what's at the end, whether it's a like a
good murder mystery as a pastor allowed to say that, I don't
know, but I just did And I just seeing that and then trying to
put all the pieces together of the evidence.
Where does the evidence take us to to come to a conclusion at
the end of things, to try and figure out what exactly
happened. Sometimes there are mysteries
that they're so big that when you follow the evidence, they
can be potentially life changing for yourself or for the other
people that are around you. For example, I want to show you
a picture up on the screen. This this is a picture of what's
called the Copper Scroll. It was found in 1952 right
beside the Dead Sea Scrolls in Qumran in Israel.
Now, it is believed that this is actually a treasure map, a
treasure map that will take you to over $3 billion worth of gold
and silver that was hidden in the 1st century.
Here's the cool thing, nobody has solved it yet.
So this is your opportunity. And I want to say if you decide
to take the challenge and go and solve the mystery, your tithes
and offerings can be made payable to Forward Church.
All right. Over the last number of weeks,
we've also been looking at the evidence for Jesus.
We've been exploring the question, who exactly is Jesus?
And we've looked at stories that tell us more and more about his
character, the way he operates, his nature.
And one of the things we know about Jesus is that he lived in
a Jewish culture. He was a Jew living in a Jewish
culture. And himself and some other
people around him are making a bold claim about him.
They are claiming that he is the Messiah, the Savior of the
world. But Jesus knew that simply
making the claim that he was the Messiah was not going to be
enough, because in the culture in which he lived, he was going
to be required to have multiple witnesses to that claim before
it could be verified as being true.
That Jewish culture required at least two valid witnesses for
something to be established as fact.
So in John chapter 5, Jesus is beginning to unpacked a number
of the witnesses that exist for who He is as the Messiah.
We're not going to take the time to read the first number of
witnesses, but from verse 31 down to verse 37, we see several
witnesses show up. Jesus says hey, John the Baptist
testifies to who I am. John said that there would be 1
greater than me who was coming. And so John is testifying to who
Jesus is. He, he says, Jesus says even the
works and the miracles that I do, the things that I do to heal
people, to set people free from demonic oppression, all those
things testify to who I am. And then Jesus says even God the
Father testifies to who I am. When Jesus is baptized, we hear
the words well done, good and faithful servant from we hear
the words, this is my beloved son in him.
I'm well pleased. That's what the Father speaks
over Jesus. But then Jesus gives us one more
witness for who He is. I want to begin reading at verse
39 of John chapter 5. Jesus says you pour over the
Scriptures because you think you have eternal life in them, and
yet they testify about me, but you're not willing to come to me
so that you may have life. I do not accept glory from
people, but I know you, that you have no love for God within you.
I have come in my Father's name, and yet you don't accept me.
If someone else comes in His own name, you will accept Him.
How Can you believe, since you accept glory from one another,
but don't seek the glory that comes from the only God?
Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father.
Your accuser is Moses, on whom you have set your hope for.
If you believe Moses, you would believe me because he wrote
about me. But if you don't believe what he
wrote, how will you believe my words?
So here's the big idea of what Jesus is unpacking.
And this 4th witness in these verses.
And he's saying the entire Bible is a witness to who Jesus is and
the truth that you can only find life in him.
Now, if you're a Christian, you're going, well, duh, of
course that is true. We know that Matthew, Mark,
Luke, and John are all the stories of Jesus and his life
and his death and his resurrection.
We know that Acts, in a number of the early epistles, letters
that are written to the early church, are really unpacking the
story of people who are living in light of the life of Jesus.
Even the Book of Revelation is a book that is centered on Jesus
as being the sovereign king over all things and the judge of the
world. Most of us who are believers in
Jesus followers in Jesus understand that the New
Testament is all about Jesus. But very few people think of the
Old Testament as also testifying about Jesus.
But here in the moment that Jesus is speaking in, in these
verses S not referring to how the New Testament speaks about
him because the New Testament hasn't been written yet.
He's referring to how the Old Testament speaks about him and
testifies about him. Jesus is saying the Old
Testament is also a witness to who he is.
Now if that's new language for you, you don't know the words
Old Testament and New Testament. Let me just take a minute to
unpack that for you. The Old Testament are the
scriptures before Jesus is born. They tell they tell the story of
creation, they tell the story of God's relationship with the
people of Israel, his deep covenant faithful love, and they
tell the story of a group of people waiting for a Messiah to
come and rescue them. The New Testament starting the
book of Matthew is telling us the story of Jesus from from the
point of Jesus birth on to the rest of his life.
If you were a Jew in the day listening to Jesus say these
words, this would have rocked your world because your entire
life has been built around this set of scriptures.
Your entire life has been built around understanding it,
believing it, memorizing it. And so all they knew was the Old
Testament and Jesus is saying all the things you've ever
studied. It's ultimately pointing to me.
It's about me Now I know that while that meant something for
people in that day, for us today, the Old Testament tends
to mean something very different.
For most people, the Old Testament is something that's
one of the most difficult, highly controversial, and easily
ignored parts of the Bible. There are not a lot of people
who, when they are going through a hardship in life, are going,
hey, I wonder what Joel and Amos and Obadiah have to say right
now. That is not where we tend to go
when we're going through it. But as we move towards Easter
over the next few weeks, we're going to unpack more about the
Old Testament and how exactly the Old Testament testifies to
who Jesus is. But for today, I just want to
spend some time unpacking the words of Jesus in John chapter 5
as an introduction to the next few weeks as we move towards
Easter. And in these verses, Jesus is
going to identify three mistakes that people then and now make
when it comes to the Old, the Old Testament, both in reading
it and understanding it. Here's the first mistake.
Mistake number one is studying the Old Testament and missing
how it points to Jesus. In verse 39, Jesus talks about,
you pour over the Scriptures and you think they've got eternal
life in them, but yet they testify about me.
Verse 46, he says the same thing.
If you believe Moses, you would believe me.
Now, if you grew up going to church, you probably learned all
the stories of the Old Testament.
And there are some pretty epic stories in the Old Testament,
aren't there? Like you've got Noah's ark and
you've got Moses and the people of Israel coming out of Egypt.
You've got David and Goliath, which is way more violent than
what it was when I was six years old.
Honestly, when you read the Bible, you got Daniel in the
lion's den, you got Daniel in the fiery furnace.
You got so many things that are going on going on in those
passages. And we often look at the stories
of the Old Testament and we think, boy, those are cool or
they're confusing. We're not really sure which we
land on depending on the story, but the mistake that often gets
made is that people will miss seeing how each individual story
fits into a grander narrative, a grander story that the Bible is
unfolding. We we look at each individual
story and go, man, that's cool, or I don't understand it, but
actually each individual story is pointing us to a bigger
story, the story of the whole of Scripture that is centered
around Jesus. That's what Jesus trying to tell
us here. The Bible is not this series of
disconnected moral stories. We, we look at the people and
the stories and we look for the moral lessons that we can learn
for ourselves. We go like, how do I have faith
like this person or courage like this person?
And, and it's good to think about that and challenges
ourselves with that, but that's limiting the whole perspective
that the Bible wants us to see. All of those stories are
designed to point us to Jesus. Or maybe you're like Kirk.
I'm way past all the Bible stories.
I like to go deeper into all the hidden meaning of all the words
in the Old Testament. I want to dive in deep and
really understand what the Old Testament is saying in these
passages. So you want to understand every
possible interpretation of a passage, and it's great that you
want to do that. But Jesus tells us that the
mistake we make when we pour over the Scriptures is we miss
seeing how they testify about him.
There are so many people who are great students of the
scriptures, but if your Bible knowledge does not lead you to
know Jesus and see Jesus, you've missed the point.
The the Old Testament consistently points us to Jesus.
It's it's not like we get through the Old Testament and
suddenly we get to the good parts of the Bible in the New
Testament. OK, The Old Testament has things
like prophecies, prophecies that talk about the Messiah,
including his life and his birth and his death and his
resurrection. Over 350 prophecies in the Old
Testament about the Messiah are fulfilled by Jesus.
The Old Testament has what's called types and shadows of
Jesus showing up, people, events, institutions that give
us this foreshadowing of Jesus. And we're going to talk more
about how that shows up next Sunday.
But let me give you a quick example of what that looks like.
Think about the story of Joseph, the coat of many colors that
shows up on Joseph. And with Joseph, you have a guy
who is sold out by his brothers, who suffers and lives in
isolation and ultimately rescues and saves his family.
Sound familiar to anybody? The Old Testament sacrificial
system easily one of the most confusing things for us in 2026.
But the rituals of the Tabernacle and the temple are
all given to symbolize the need for atonement of sins and the
future sacrifice of Jesus. We even have times in the Old
Testament where the Son of God before he is born as Jesus
appears in the Old Testament. One of the most powerful
pictures of Jesus showing up in the Old Testament is found in
Isaiah chapter 6. And we're not going to take the
time to look there. If you want to look there
quickly, you can. I'm going to paint this picture
of the first few verses of Isaiah 6.
Isaiah is brought into the throne room of God himself.
He's brought into this space where he is able to be in the
presence of God. And when he walks into the
presence of God in God's throne room, what he sees is, is the
robe of God that fills the entire temple.
And he sees this, this reality of angels, seraphim, angels all
around the throne and, and they are crying out holy, holy, holy
is the Lord God Almighty, Holy is the Lord of armies.
This majestic scene is unfolding in front of Isaiah.
And as he hears the voice of these angels, it says that the
foundation of the temple literally started to shake at
their voice and it was filled with smoke.
And Isaiah's only response is, woe is me.
He recognizes the holiness of the presence of God, that he is
completely unworthy to stand in the presence of God.
He says I'm a man of unclean lips.
But then Isaiah says something else.
He says, my eyes have seen the king, the Lord of armies.
Now, who in the world is Isaiah talking about?
If you turn over to John chapter 12, go ahead and do that.
Let's we're in John already. Look at John chapter 12 and look
at verse 41 of John chapter 12. Here's what John writes.
Isaiah said these things because he saw his glory, meaning Jesus
glory, and spoke about him. Isaiah saw the Son of God in
Isaiah 6 before the Son of God was ever born.
Jesus shows up in the Old Testament.
But then back in John chapter 5, Jesus throws down the big weight
of evidence for a Jew and he says even Moses wrote about me.
Now that's a big deal to a Jew because for them Moses is the
supreme prophet because he spoke with God directly.
You might be going, well where did Moses talk about Jesus?
I'm glad you asked. The first Christian said this.
I'm going to put a verse up on the screen in Acts chapter 3
quoting Moses. Moses said the Lord your God
will raise up for you a prophet like me from among your
brothers. You must listen to everything
that he tells you, and everyone who does not listen to that
prophet will be completely cut off from the people.
The very first Christians quote Moses from Deuteronomy to say
that Moses is talking about Jesus.
Way back in the book of Deuteronomy, even Moses said
there's another prophet that the people would need to listen to
everything that he tells them. That's not where it ends for
Moses. When you read the writings of
Moses, you will see again and again how the grand story of
redemption is designed to foreshadow Jesus.
We're going to see that through a story we're going to look at
in a couple of weeks from now. Moses shows us so many signs
that point to God's redemption for humanity through Jesus.
Now a lot of us go looking for signs and they're saying like
God, would you just give me a sign to show me that you're
there? Would you give me a sign to show
me that you care? There's a reminds me of a movie
from probably about 20 years ago now.
Jim Carrey starred in a movie, Bruce Almighty.
I do not recommend it for theological purposes, but one of
my favorite parts of the movie is Jim Carrey's in his car and
he's kind of going through it and he's driving and he's
saying, God, would you just give me some guidance, please?
Would you just give me a sign that that you're there?
Would you give me a sign that you care?
Just give me a sign. And the whole time he's saying,
God, give me a sign. He's driving his car on a
highway and there's signs showing up everywhere.
Stop driving. This is dangerous.
Don't go there wrong way. Stop.
And he's like, God, please give me a sign.
And he just keeps going and driving and missing all the
signs that are already in front of him.
And so many of us, we keep saying, God, would you give me a
sign that you're really there? And sometimes we miss paying
attention to the signs that God's already given us.
Sometimes we just ignore and walk past all the signs that are
there. And, and God's saying like when
it comes to is Jesus really God? Is Jesus who he says he is?
He's saying the signs are there, you just have to pay attention
to them. That's what Jesus is trying to
tell us about the Old Testament. The signs are there.
The only question is, will you pay attention to them?
The second mistake that we make is being unwilling to interpret
the Old Testament through the person of Jesus.
In verse 40, Jesus says these words and back in John chapter
5, you're not willing to come to me so that you may have life.
Every time that you and I read the Bible and in particular Old
Testament passages, you're going to be faced with a challenge of
trying to interpret what does this mean for me today?
If you are unwilling to interpret the Old Testament
through the person of Jesus, you are going to miss finding the
life that God wants for you. Sometimes we already have in our
mind our our own idea of what we want the Bible to say.
We, we often want the Scriptures to give us the life that we've
already decided that we want for ourselves.
And we try to interpret the scriptures through the lens of
what I already want them to say for me.
OK. And, and, and sometimes many
times when you interpret Old Testament passages through the
person of Jesus, it is going to upset you because it's going to
change the way you should be responding in any given
situation. Let me give you a couple of
examples of how that shows up today.
The way that you choose to interpret the Old Testament can
lead you to two very different places.
There are some of us who we love our rules.
We love everything to be just structured just so.
All of life needs to be about the rules and structures.
So you love the Old Testament because it is filled with all
kinds of rules. When you read the Old Testament,
you see rule after rule of what needs to happen if you're going
to honor God with your life. And, and deep down inside, you
carry that thought with you, that if everyone just obeyed all
the rules, life would be so much better.
And so we end up playing the role of referee.
We look at how to enforce the rules on anyone and everyone.
And honestly, you can have a great biblical case for rules.
You can quote all kinds of passages from the Old Testament
and say God commanded this. The the Jews of Jesus day would
have understood the Old Testament to have over 600
different laws or rules for them to follow.
Now, if you're a parent, you probably have rules at home, and
you probably also know that every single one of your
children break the rules that you have at home or have at some
point broken those rules. Without fail, every single rule
ends up getting broken. What's the old saying?
Rules are made what to be broken?
Why do we all inherently know that in workplaces you have
policies at work? Why do we have policies at work?
Because at some point in time somebody did something really
dumb, and so somebody said we need to have a policy so that
nobody does this again. But guess what?
Somebody goes and breaks that policy.
Now you need a new policy to replace the old policy because
somebody else did something dumb.
And it just keeps going on and on and on.
It's why we have policies. Jesus is trying to say to us,
like, if you think everything's going to be better if everyone
will just keep the rules, you're sadly mistaken.
Romans chapter 5 tells us that the law, the Old Testament law,
came along to multiply the trespass.
If the law of the Old Testament was not created just to inspire
people to be better, that it's actually a mirror of what's
really going on inside our hearts.
That what the law does is it reveals the truth that you and I
and every other human being are not able to keep the rules.
If we only focus on the commands of the Old Testament without
interpreting them through the person of Jesus.
Here's what you end up doing. You end up piling more and more
and more guilt on yourself and other people with no real way
out. You you focus on behavior
transformation first. When Jesus focuses on heart
transformation, that leads to behavior transformation.
Yeah, of course Jesus had rules. But but when we interpret the
Old Testament through Jesus, we understand which rules are
timeless and which are for a particular group of people in a
particular time and place. Here's another way that
interpreting the Old Testament through the person of Jesus
makes a difference when it comes to our thoughts and our desire
to have God honoring cities and countries.
Now please listen carefully to what I'm about to say because
some of you are going to Take Me Out of context.
Wanting a community and country to operate in a way that honors
God is good. The Old Testament teaches us to
seek the welfare of the place we live in.
The New Testament says that we are to be salt and light in the
world in which we live. But don't make the mistake of
only quoting Old Testament passages about how a country
should be run without interpreting those passages
through the lens of how Jesus navigated an incredibly
difficult political environment. There are way too many
Christians who have made their highest priority the country
that they live in over their citizenship in the Kingdom of
God. There are too many times where
people are using Bible language to mask what is really a desire
for power and our own agenda, and we miss being people who
genuinely love our neighbors. NT Wright said this.
He said Christian nationalism is impoverished because it seeks a
Kingdom without a cross. It pursues victory without
mercy. It acclaims God's love of power
rather than the power of God's love.
You see, the lens that you use to interpret the Old Testament
is critical because it's not only going to shape your life,
it's going to shape the lives of the people around you and how
you relate to them as well. Always make sure your
interpretation is filtered through the person of Jesus.
Third mistake that we make not believing the Old Testament is
valuable or true. In verse 47, Jesus says this.
If you don't believe what Moses wrote, you're not going to
believe my words there. There are a lot of people who
go, well, if we just interpret it through Jesus, then why do we
even need the Old Testament? Let's just start with Jesus and
go on from there. The Old Testament is filled with
all kinds of stuff I don't like, I don't understand, I don't even
know if I believe to be true. Like, it's got wild stories
about a global flood and a guy who lands in the belly of a big
fish. It's got pages and pages and
pages and pages and pages of genealogies.
What's up with that? It's got violence.
Tons of violence, some of it even commanded by God.
It's got weird rules and laws like in Leviticus Chapter 11.
Don't eat bats. Who needs to be told don't eat
bats. Don't eat bacon.
Come on now. And then it's got like poetry, I
hated poetry when I was in school, and it's got hundreds of
psalms of poetry. Who can possibly understand any
of the poetry? What's the point?
And so many people have that kind of attitude when it comes
to approaching the Old Testament.
But Jesus wants us to see that the Old Testament has incredible
value all on its own. Jesus thought so highly of the
Old Testament that he frequently quotes it.
In fact, Jesus quotes from 19 different Old Testament books.
When the apostles preach sermons in the New Testament, they are
quoting again and again from the Old Testament for their sermons.
What one person I read this week actually went into a sermon that
Stephen preached in the book of Acts and counted.
He quoted the Old Testament 50 times in one sermon.
The New Testament is great. It's got passages that say, hey,
if any of you lacks wisdom, and who doesn't lack wisdom right
now, right? Different things going on.
It says, if any of you lacks wisdom, let them ask of God and
God will give it to you generously.
That's a great promise for us to lean into.
The Old Testament says we've already got much of God's wisdom
written down for us in books in the Old Testament.
Sometimes we ask God to give us wisdom.
And God's like, I've already given you wisdom, just read
Proverbs. The Old Testament is incredibly
important to unfolding God's grand story.
The brokenness of the world makes so much sense when you
understand the Old Testament. The Old Testament is filled with
real people like you and me, who in a real moment in time we're
struggling with real life and trying to understand what does
it mean and look like to follow and trust and have faith in God.
You learned so many things about the character of God from the
Old Testament. You learn about God's deep love
for people. You learn how patient God is.
It's the Old Testament that teaches us that God is merciful,
that that he is slow to get angry, that he's abounding in
steadfast love and faithfulness. The Old Testament teaches us
things about the the character, the attributes of God, the
majesty of who God is. It tells us that God is eternal.
He's always been and always will be, tells us that he's the
Creator and He's holy. He's unlike anyone else.
In the Old Testament, we learn how to lament the grief that we
carry in life and how to maintain hope while we're
waiting on God to fulfill His promises.
The Old Testament also shows us just how much God hates sin.
You see how offensive sin really is to God.
When you study the Old Testament, you see how much He
hates it. He hates what sin does to people
made in His image. He hates what sin does to His
creation, all the things that He called very good.
He hates the damage that sin does.
And you also see the extent to which God is willing to go for
justice and freedom to happen. When you read Old Testament
books and you put them in the context they were written in,
when you understand the difference between wisdom books
and poetic and prophetic and historical books, you see this
incredible picture of God unfolding human history.
And as the New Testament teaches us, all Scripture, all Scripture
is inspired by God, and it's profitable for teaching and
rebuking and correcting and training in righteousness, even
a genealogy. All Scripture, the Old Testament
is like a treasure map. Now, not all of us are old
enough to remember using printed copies of maps, but we all
understand how important it is to read a map properly.
I I've had all kinds of strange adventures with maps.
Shannon and I had our first date 34 years ago this week and I
didn't have Google Maps back in the day.
All I had was a paper map in front of me and use this paper
map to try and navigate my way through the thriving metropolis
of Paris ON. And as I use this paper map to
get into Paris ON, I ended up still getting lost and miss
reading the map and being half an hour late for our first date
and she's still with me. It's a miracle.
Reading a map properly is the difference between getting to
the right destination or getting lost.
Reading a treasure map properly is the difference between
finding the treasure or missing out on it.
If you've ever watched any movies, you know that reading a
treasure map properly can be the difference between life and
death. And the single most important
message of the Old Testament is this.
Jesus is the treasure the Old Testament is designed to help
you find. See, the one thing that is part
of the human condition, both then and now, is the constant
desire and need to find life. We all go looking for a purpose.
We all go look looking for meaning.
We all go looking for peace and joy.
It's been the story of humanity since humanity had a story.
We go searching for it everywhere.
We go searching for it in money and in relationships and in
power. We go looking for it in sex and
whatever we put our identity in. We go looking for it in our
careers. We look to our goals and our
dreams to give us that sense of life.
But if there is one thing that we can observe about the human
reality is this. Humans are never satisfied.
We're never satisfied. There's always this sense in us
that I still need to find life. No matter how hard we try, it
always feels slightly out of reach.
And so we go looking to religion to give us answers.
We study religious texts like the Bible.
Over 80% of the world's population identifies with a
religious group. Why?
Because there's something about religion that draws our
attention that says, hey, I can find peace and hope in religion,
even. But Jesus wants you and I to
know that hope and life is not found in your ability to be good
or to have more knowledge of religious scriptures or even
doing more religious activity. Like if I could simplify the
entire Christian message for you into one sentence, it would be
this. It's all about Jesus.
I know that in this room and
watching online, there are some people who you've got no
personal faith in Jesus. You're here, you're exploring,
you're asking questions. But what the Bible constantly
points us to, and what the Old Testament even points us to, is
that as much as humans may try to be good, we will always
consistently fail in measuring up to God's standards.
The Old Testament also promises that God would one day send
someone to rescue us from the penalty of our sins.
But God doesn't just send anyone, He sends his only
begotten Son, Jesus. If you want to find true life,
Jesus says, put your faith in me.
If you want to be made right with God, put your trust in
Jesus. If you want to become the person
you are always created and designed to be, trust Jesus.
Jesus says I've come to give you life and life more abundantly,
not not by us working harder to be better people, but by us
placing and our our trust in our lives in his hands.
Jesus is the way, he is the truth.
He is the life. No one gets to the Father except
through him. And for those of us who are
already believers in Jesus, you always hear us talking about the
importance of doing things like reading your Bible.
And it is important for you to read your Bible.
But I want you to hear this. The treasure of the Christian
life is not having more information about the Bible.
Read your Bible because it brings you to the real treasure,
Jesus. Read your Bible because it's
going to help you know Jesus more.
Read your Bible because it's going to help you love Jesus
more. Read your Bible because it's
going to help you see Jesus. Think like Jesus, love Jesus,
and know how great His love is for you.
Jesus is our King and our Savior.
He is our Lord, He's our friend, He's our brother, He's our
teacher. We are here because of Jesus
like none of this happens apart from Jesus.
Most of us would never choose to hang out with each other, never
mind hang out with each other first thing on a Sunday morning.
But why do we do it? Because of Jesus.
He's the reason all of this exists.
He's who we serve, He's who we worship, He's who we love, He's
who we celebrate. It's all about Jesus.
We pray. Father, thank you for how great
Your love is for us. Thank you for sending your son
for us. Thank you that all of Scripture
points us to Jesus that I pray that you would help us to have a
new level of appreciation for how you've intricately woven the
fullness of the Bible, both the New Testament and the Old
Testament to draw our attention to lift high Jesus.
God, I pray that even this week it would change the way that
some of us are reading our Bibles, the way we're
interpreting our Bibles and maybe God, some of us have
walked away from even paying any attention to the Old Testament.
I pray it would give us a new passion and vision to read and
study and understand the grand story that you give to us.
God, we are so grateful for how you've given us sign after sign
after sign to say that Jesus is the one worth treasuring.
Jesus is the one worth placing our faith in, our hope, and our
trust in. I pray that you would help us to
do that. Above all else, help us to find
life and the only one who can give us life, King Jesus and his
name, I pray. Amen.
Would you stand together as we
close our service in Psalm?
