And you heard it tonight in the waters of baptism. Total transformation. The first gal that gave her testimony, Kim, said things I used to love, I loathe; things I used to loathe, I love. That is a total transformation. That’s what Christ can do in a life. Well, next time we’re going to look at the curse that fell on the man, and why is it that we all have to work so hard.
Let’s pray.
Father, again this has been such a wonderful day, and You always open the Word to us and we are fed. Thank you for that. This is a feast beyond description. And we grieve that its great truths are unknown to most of the world, most of our nation, most of our city; people everywhere who have absolutely no understanding of the universe around them, nor do they know You, the only true God, and our Savior Jesus Christ. And therefore, they have no answers to the struggles of life. We thank You that we know your word. We marvel that You have brought us to this place; that You have exposed us to the gospel; and we have believed and we have been saved; that you have given us your Holy Spirit to dwell within us to be our resident teacher, and that You have taught us the truth. How blessed we are. And we thank you.
Bless our marriages and our families, and may our relationships as husband and wives be what You can make them, in spite of the curse, through the work of your Spirit in our lives. May the relationships between mothers and children be joyful and fulfilling, as the mothers live godly lives and the children respond with faith and obedience. For all of the joys of life which we experience and the world does not, we thank You. We thank You that we’re not lost and wandering, hopeless and miserable, because we can’t understand the present, and we have no hope in the future. That’s not us, Lord. We do understand the present and we have hope in the future. You have given us that hope in Christ. We praise Him. We pray in His name. Amen.
