[2799.76 --> 2800.96] we respond to a passage
[2800.96 --> 2801.90] like Galatians 3
[2801.90 --> 2803.54] is to marvel
[2803.54 --> 2805.18] that we are living
[2805.18 --> 2806.14] in the very thing
[2806.14 --> 2807.52] God had in his mind
[2807.52 --> 2808.76] when he called Abraham.
[2809.62 --> 2810.64] The blessing,
[2811.24 --> 2812.12] the flourishing,
[2812.50 --> 2813.16] the shalom
[2813.16 --> 2814.14] and the life of God
[2814.14 --> 2815.12] flowing to the nations,
[2815.12 --> 2817.52] we are receiving that
[2817.52 --> 2819.02] because Jesus dealt
[2819.02 --> 2819.70] with the curse.
[2820.40 --> 2821.74] Praise the Lord.
[2822.52 --> 2823.40] Let's pray together.
[2826.60 --> 2827.82] Father, we thank you
[2827.82 --> 2828.44] for your word.
[2829.72 --> 2830.58] We thank you
[2830.58 --> 2832.14] that you have brought us
[2832.14 --> 2833.34] into your family.
[2834.34 --> 2834.92] We thank you
[2834.92 --> 2835.84] that this was your plan
[2835.84 --> 2836.74] all along
[2836.74 --> 2838.08] and even as we drove it
[2838.08 --> 2838.86] into the ground
[2838.86 --> 2839.92] in disobedience
[2839.92 --> 2842.28] and idolatry,
[2843.16 --> 2844.22] enslaving ourselves
[2844.22 --> 2845.32] to all sorts of things
[2845.32 --> 2846.20] that do not bring life.
[2846.20 --> 2847.74] You came in Jesus.
[2848.60 --> 2849.72] We praise you
[2849.72 --> 2850.70] that Jesus has dealt
[2850.70 --> 2851.32] with the curse.
[2852.20 --> 2852.90] We praise you
[2852.90 --> 2853.52] that he drank
[2853.52 --> 2854.32] the cup of judgment.
[2855.10 --> 2855.78] We praise you
[2855.78 --> 2857.20] that we have been set free.
[2858.20 --> 2858.38] Lord,
[2858.48 --> 2859.52] would you unify us
[2859.52 --> 2860.18] in the gospel?
[2861.10 --> 2862.38] Would you strengthen us
[2862.38 --> 2863.12] as the church?
[2863.54 --> 2863.96] And we pray
[2863.96 --> 2864.96] that many more people
[2864.96 --> 2865.72] in this city,
[2866.20 --> 2867.12] in our families,
[2867.12 --> 2868.20] in our workplaces
[2868.20 --> 2869.58] would by faith
[2869.58 --> 2870.66] recognize the power
[2870.66 --> 2871.26] of the gospel
[2871.26 --> 2872.70] and join the family
[2872.70 --> 2873.38] of the resurrection.
[2874.08 --> 2874.66] We pray this
[2874.66 --> 2875.46] in your mighty name.
[2875.78 --> 2876.00] Amen.
[2877.32 --> 2878.08] Would you stand
[2878.08 --> 2878.64] and sing with me
[2878.64 --> 2879.56] a song of response?
