[2519.66 --> 2549.64] Thank you.
[2549.64 --> 2579.64] Thank you.
[2579.64 --> 2609.62] Thank you.
[2609.62 --> 2639.62] Thank you.
[2639.62 --> 2669.60] Thank you.
[2669.62 --> 2699.60] Good morning.
[2699.62 --> 2729.60] And I have to say,
[2729.62 --> 2732.60] the last, let's say, 18 years or so.
[2733.16 --> 2735.98] But as I think about the journey of those years,
[2736.32 --> 2739.58] it really is and has been this adventure,
[2740.24 --> 2743.84] has been this wonderful, precious, yeah, walk with the Lord.
[2744.62 --> 2747.40] From all the really kind of mundane and subtle,
[2747.50 --> 2750.46] but also powerful ways the Holy Spirit has been working in my life.
[2750.58 --> 2754.72] I think about the constant and many whispered affirmations
[2754.72 --> 2756.42] of the Father's love for me.
[2757.06 --> 2760.28] Ways that the Holy Spirit has directly taught me truth from Scripture,
[2760.82 --> 2763.78] which then I also kind of heard other authors teaching.
[2764.46 --> 2767.72] Ways that He's encouraged my heart when I've been through hard times
[2767.72 --> 2769.70] or difficulty or even suffering.
[2770.40 --> 2772.74] Ways He's spoken about my calling and gifts
[2772.74 --> 2777.22] and also helped me to help others to see their callings and gifts.
[2778.10 --> 2783.10] Really, the Holy Spirit actually does what Jesus said that He would do, right?
[2783.10 --> 2788.42] He is faithful to being who He is and to offering the ministry to us, the church.
[2788.76 --> 2790.64] He's so gentle and kind.
[2791.08 --> 2792.90] He's dynamic and fierce.
[2793.26 --> 2794.04] He is good.
[2794.22 --> 2795.08] He is wise.
[2796.20 --> 2798.70] But the reality is I'm not here to preach my story.
[2798.88 --> 2800.44] I'm here to preach the text.
[2801.00 --> 2802.98] So I want to share from Ephesians 3,
[2803.50 --> 2806.02] one of my favorite blessings in Scripture,
[2806.16 --> 2808.18] not just pray it but to help preach it
[2808.18 --> 2811.76] and hope that the Spirit really opens it up for us this morning.
[2812.70 --> 2814.22] So turn with me to Ephesians 3,
[2814.28 --> 2816.46] and I read 16 to 21.
[2817.68 --> 2820.06] I pray that out of His glorious riches,
[2820.64 --> 2823.58] He the Father may strengthen you and I
[2823.58 --> 2826.24] with power through His Spirit in your inner being,
[2826.64 --> 2829.68] so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith.
[2830.34 --> 2833.50] And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love,
[2833.50 --> 2836.40] may have power together with all the saints
[2836.40 --> 2840.30] to grasp how wide and long and high and deep
[2840.30 --> 2841.66] is the love of Christ,
[2842.22 --> 2845.78] and to know this love that surpasses knowledge,
[2846.02 --> 2849.82] so that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.
[2850.82 --> 2853.12] Now to Him who is able to do immeasurably more
[2853.12 --> 2855.08] than all we ask or imagine,
[2855.52 --> 2858.24] according to His power that is at work within us,
[2858.70 --> 2862.14] to Him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus,
[2862.14 --> 2864.90] throughout all generations, forever and ever.
[2865.56 --> 2865.88] Amen.
[2868.30 --> 2872.76] Have you ever come in contact with someone who is rather intense?
