[1488.52 --> 1489.42] has finally showed up
[1489.42 --> 1489.90] to the funeral.
[1490.16 --> 1491.02] Now he doesn't have
[1491.02 --> 1491.70] to hold it in
[1491.70 --> 1492.18] any longer.
[1492.18 --> 1495.60] In the same way,
[1496.10 --> 1497.20] we all need
[1497.20 --> 1498.22] this kind of support.
[1498.66 --> 1499.82] And we all need
[1499.82 --> 1500.30] each other.
[1501.28 --> 1501.96] Our leaders
[1501.96 --> 1503.54] need all of us too.
[1505.00 --> 1506.34] And this is exactly
[1506.34 --> 1507.72] why God calls us
[1507.72 --> 1508.44] as a people.
[1509.04 --> 1509.80] And it's exactly
[1509.80 --> 1510.96] why it's you all,
[1511.06 --> 1512.24] not just you singular.
[1512.62 --> 1513.46] It's not just
[1513.46 --> 1515.04] individual saved souls
[1515.04 --> 1516.26] who happen to gather
[1516.26 --> 1516.84] once a week
[1516.84 --> 1517.32] on a Sunday
[1517.32 --> 1517.96] in this building.
[1518.88 --> 1520.00] We are a family
[1520.00 --> 1520.46] of God
[1520.46 --> 1521.20] that is called
[1521.20 --> 1522.18] as the people
[1522.18 --> 1523.10] of God together
[1523.10 --> 1524.62] to build one another
[1524.62 --> 1525.60] up in our most
[1525.60 --> 1526.38] holy faith.
[1526.88 --> 1528.00] Founded on our
[1528.00 --> 1528.88] ultimate shepherd
[1528.88 --> 1529.32] and Lord
[1529.32 --> 1530.56] who is Jesus Christ.
[1531.48 --> 1532.86] That is our calling.
[1534.00 --> 1535.16] And so as we trust
[1535.16 --> 1536.06] more and more
[1536.06 --> 1538.64] into this calling
[1538.64 --> 1539.12] of ours,
[1539.22 --> 1540.40] into God's leading
[1540.40 --> 1541.28] in our lives,
[1541.78 --> 1543.66] may God equip us
[1543.66 --> 1544.86] to be a blessing
[1544.86 --> 1545.60] for others,
[1546.00 --> 1547.26] blessing for one another.
[1547.52 --> 1548.66] And may this blessing
[1548.66 --> 1549.38] overflow
[1549.38 --> 1551.08] for our community
[1551.08 --> 1552.00] and for our neighbors.
[1552.40 --> 1553.38] And they may see
[1553.38 --> 1554.06] and glimpse
[1554.06 --> 1555.46] the kingdom of God
[1555.46 --> 1556.46] that's reflected
[1556.46 --> 1557.82] in our love
[1557.82 --> 1558.58] for one another.
[1559.84 --> 1560.40] Amen.
[1561.66 --> 1562.42] Let's pray.
[1568.86 --> 1569.74] Loving Father,
[1570.62 --> 1572.94] we come before you
[1572.94 --> 1573.66] in humility
[1573.66 --> 1575.34] and trust,
[1575.74 --> 1575.94] Lord,
[1575.94 --> 1578.34] that you are our shepherd
[1578.34 --> 1580.68] and that you are able
[1580.68 --> 1582.40] and that you lead us
[1582.40 --> 1583.60] through all the ups
[1583.60 --> 1584.24] and downs,
[1584.76 --> 1585.34] the mountains
[1585.34 --> 1586.30] and the valleys
[1586.30 --> 1588.28] throughout our faith journeys.
[1589.56 --> 1590.50] We thank you
[1590.50 --> 1591.50] for this good news
[1591.50 --> 1592.40] that we are
[1592.40 --> 1593.64] in your hands
[1593.64 --> 1595.20] and that we can trust
[1595.20 --> 1595.72] in you.
[1596.96 --> 1598.26] I'm also thankful
[1598.26 --> 1599.72] for my brothers
[1599.72 --> 1600.32] and sisters
[1600.32 --> 1601.38] here at our church
[1601.38 --> 1603.08] that we get to pray
[1603.08 --> 1603.82] for one another
[1603.82 --> 1605.78] when we're sick
[1605.78 --> 1606.98] or when we're joyful.
[1607.50 --> 1608.54] We get to do
[1608.54 --> 1609.54] all this together
[1609.54 --> 1610.30] as a family.
[1611.48 --> 1612.62] I pray, Lord,
[1613.16 --> 1614.18] out of confession,
[1615.96 --> 1616.44] forgive us
[1616.44 --> 1616.98] for the times
[1616.98 --> 1618.02] where we fail
[1618.02 --> 1618.96] to reflect
[1618.96 --> 1619.86] this family love
[1619.86 --> 1620.50] for one another.
[1621.92 --> 1622.32] And Lord,
[1622.40 --> 1623.62] I pray that you continue
[1623.62 --> 1624.22] to deepen
