Confronting Religion: Part 5 || Matthew 23:13-39 || Pastor Ryan || 10/2/22 || 10:30am

Yes. God is good, isn't he? Good morning, everybody. It's good to see you all. I want to invite you to stand with us. We'll pray and we'll get started. Father, just thank you for the day. Father, thank you for who you are and how much you love us. And Lord, I just pray that you bless this time, Father. And as we worship you, Lord, just help us to lift a joyful noise to you, God. Help us to set everything else aside that's going

on in our lives and just help us to focus on you this morning. And let your word go out with power this morning as well, Lord. And just do a mighty work in our hearts. We love you, Father. We thank you and we praise you in your precious and holy name. Amen. You guys can go ahead and have a seat if you like. Rydog, would you do me a favor and go grab me a bottle of water? I love you, bro. Thank you. Father, God, as we start singing

this next song, Lord, God, just help us to be mindful of who you are, God. God, you are our creator. God, you're the one that fills our lungs with breath, Lord. You're the one who gives us each day. So, Father, God, we just want to use that breath that you give us to return praise to you this morning, Lord. And God, just help us to be mindful of that as we sing

this next song. The dark will sing. Oh, the joy. Joy. No, it's when. Not a joy to see. A joy. It's when you. Nothing more.

Wash me. I don't know. The joy. And I. But it's so. Joy to hold.
