[1980.34 --> 1984.34] I am with you
[1984.34 --> 1987.34] I am with you
[1987.34 --> 1989.34] I am with you
[1989.34 --> 1994.58] For I have called you
[1994.58 --> 1997.38] Called you by name
[1997.38 --> 2003.34] Your labor is not unknown
[2003.34 --> 2012.30] The houses you labor to build
[2012.30 --> 2017.30] Will finally with laughter
[2017.30 --> 2020.74] And joy be filled
[2020.74 --> 2024.12] The serpent that hurts
[2024.12 --> 2027.64] And destroys will be killed
[2027.64 --> 2029.64] And all that is broken
[2029.64 --> 2031.26] And all that is broken
[2031.26 --> 2031.50] And all that is broken
[2031.50 --> 2036.28] Be
[2038.54 --> 2039.46] I am with you
[2039.46 --> 2039.76] I am with you
[2039.76 --> 2040.54] I am with you
[2040.60 --> 2043.32] I am with you
[2043.32 --> 2044.02] I am with you
[2044.02 --> 2044.14] I am with you
[2044.64 --> 2045.74] I am with you
[2045.74 --> 2045.82] I am with you
[2045.82 --> 2046.64] I am with you
[2046.64 --> 2046.90] I am with you
[2046.90 --> 2048.90] you
[2066.48 --> 2067.52] body
[2071.16 --> 2072.96] way
[2073.48 --> 2075.48] I
[2076.90 --> 2083.62] For I have called you, called you by name.
[2084.98 --> 2090.78] Your labor is not in vain.
[2095.78 --> 2096.38] Amen.
[2097.00 --> 2100.60] You know, in all the gifts that I named, I forgot to even mention the gift of music.
[2100.78 --> 2102.00] So thank you for leaving us.
[2102.40 --> 2103.50] It was a privilege, yes.
[2103.66 --> 2103.92] Amen.
[2103.92 --> 2104.08] Amen.
[2106.90 --> 2109.88] Just two things to note.
[2110.30 --> 2111.90] There's probably more, but I can remember two.
[2112.20 --> 2116.46] Number one, one of the gifts that we give to the church is our treasure.
[2117.32 --> 2121.06] And we seek to use all the money that God has given us to be a blessing in our city.
[2121.40 --> 2124.38] If you're new, you can talk to one of our deacons who is by the coffee bar,
[2124.46 --> 2126.20] and they can share with you the different ways to give.
[2126.42 --> 2128.88] But we invite you to practice generosity this week.
[2130.58 --> 2135.00] Secondly, don't go anywhere after the service except for to the front yard.
[2135.00 --> 2138.40] And I think the front yard, whatever, side yard, is it a yard?
[2139.32 --> 2139.68] Grass.
[2140.44 --> 2143.38] And I've been told that we need to get all these chairs out of the sanctuary.
[2143.54 --> 2145.46] So what we're going to invite you to do is take that chair,
[2145.56 --> 2147.82] that practice we've got built into the 11 a.m. service,
[2148.04 --> 2149.82] and take it straight out to a table,
[2149.98 --> 2152.34] and then you can grab food and we'll break bread together.
[2153.10 --> 2154.34] And when you go out there,
[2154.48 --> 2156.50] there's going to be a whole lot of people who have been serving all morning.
[2156.76 --> 2158.98] Make sure you thank our hospitality team for their gifts,
[2159.04 --> 2160.16] because they fill our stomachs.
[2160.16 --> 2161.30] What an important gift.
[2162.72 --> 2165.44] I want to read a blessing that comes from Ephesians 3.
[2166.22 --> 2168.36] And this passage, I feel like, has become the theme verse
[2168.36 --> 2170.08] of our series on the Holy Spirit.
[2170.70 --> 2171.58] But this is a prayer.
[2172.16 --> 2176.32] And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love,
[2177.02 --> 2181.30] may have power, together with all the Lord's people,
[2181.44 --> 2187.08] to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ.
[2187.08 --> 2191.26] And to know that this love surpasses knowledge,
[2192.12 --> 2196.36] that you may be filled to the fullness of God.
[2197.48 --> 2200.36] Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more
[2200.36 --> 2202.02] than all we ask or imagine,
[2202.20 --> 2204.84] according to his power that is at work within us,
[2205.18 --> 2207.00] to him be the glory in the church,
[2207.44 --> 2210.38] and in Christ Jesus, throughout all generations.
[2210.86 --> 2213.02] And together we say, amen.
[2213.54 --> 2214.58] I think we're going to start,
[2214.68 --> 2216.38] we're going to sing again the song that we started with,
[2216.38 --> 2218.60] but let's grab our chairs and we can sing as we go.
[2218.60 --> 2218.74] Amen.
