foreign [Music] foreign Hospital s problems it is I mean is [Music] [Music] oh that's the best business [Music] foreign [Music] foreign [Music] is you both of you cause [Music] foreign [Music] foreign [Music] foreign [Music] baby [Music] begins [Music] praise be to almighty God and our Savior Jesus Christ now and brother all just reminded us how is important to concentrate on the word of God and David in his at his time he said the following words your word is a lamb stand before my feet and light on my path is God liked it when David always turned to his word [Music] um one time David said the following words the princess plot against me it's a critical situation it's a trouble coming foreign and at the same time when they plot David said but your servant is following your word and it's Pleasant to God some time ago we heard a sermon about Saul and David yeah what kind of difference were between them and one of them it was pleased in the Lord and the other not it was Global of this is and we're gonna read the book of Acts 1322 theaters after removing Soul he made David the king God testified concerning him I have found David Son of Jesse and after my own heart he will do everything I want him to do foreign in anybody else or even in David's Brothers but in David he saw something very important verse that shares shares the light why did God chose David your ships Psalm 143 verse 10 I'm not sure in English 142 144 either or in Ukrainian 143 in Russian 143 but the English is different there is a written prayer of David um foreign statue of himself and then Absalom built the Statue of him of himself and the god that David prayed humble humbly God teach me and let your spirit lead me into a path of righteousness and also we read about Moses who prayed God let me count my days so I can earn This Heart of wisdom and if you read about Moses he will start all the wisdom of Egypt what does it means when they read the first Kings was written about Solomon in a personality and it is written the wisdom of Solomon was higher than the wisdom the all the wise men of the East and it is written also that it was higher than the wisdom of Egypt septum is so the wisdom of Egypt and wisdom of the wise men of the East were akanda on the level both lands had wise men Moses will start all the wisdom of Egypt and it's not just just like uh he's listen uh listen to the to the lessons it is written he was taught and he was mighty in words and deeds you can call him the Egyptian wise man Israel and also it is written about Moses that he was the king of Israel because when all the princes of the tribes of Israel came together and this is a wise man and a king bows down before the God and ask God please teach me how to expand those days so I can earn the heart of wisdom um 410 is written who will count this day not important there are people that count the days not really important uh and my translation is written the day of the um little things yesterday was a day of the little things not nothing important today the days spent the same way maybe tomorrow the same but the most is that the king and the wise men did not count that did not think that it says and it's very important in our lives to pray the same to our God and we are reading about Joshua before him was the angel the the prince of heavenly hosts [Music] Historia and if you read his history he is a perfect history but was one day when he was tricked they were dressed as though they they came from Far Far Away Adam but they lived close by yeah how important is to ask God every day God please teach me and let your Holy Spirit teach me it was enormous [Music] and the New Testament we read How well was for disciples with Jesus in Susie Jesus taught them take care of any kind of problems he saved them it was good for them with Jesus but one time Jesus said I will go to my father and they were sad Allah but Jesus told them don't be sad I will ask my father is and I will send you another in a comforter he will be with you forever [Music] the spirit of truth of which the world does not receive him because the world does not see him and does not know him but you know him he is with you he was Buddha and he will be in you is and Jesus continues I will not leave you orphans I will come back to you when I was three and a half years old my father died I remember even like very I was very very little some adult men came to me [Music] and they put their hands on my head you can't read many and they tell me oh you poor orphan and I think to myself what kind of I'm not orphan I'm good I'm dressed I'm not hungry I have my mother is so good she loves me she takes care of me she teaches me everything she brings me to the Lord she is so dear to me I'm not orphaned and Jesus said you're not going to be orphans the holy spirit will be with you when Jesus said when the spirit the comforter comes which I will send to you from the father it said Spirit of truth that comes from the father our Lord that it is true until today it is not easy for us the Holy Spirit reminds us think about the one who who was receive persecution from the Sinners so you will not fall down on your on your souls and every sermon the Holy Spirit every meeting the Holy Spirit reminds us and how difficult was for Jesus in the wilderness when he was fasting and he overcomes and overcame the Devil by the by by the by the word of God that's why the holy spirit always points us toward the word of God and prayer hospital just like David prayed God please teach me to do your will and let your spirit lead me into the land of righteousness when we are united with the holy spirit it's good and easy for us to follow Jesus yeah we see um the Deuteronomy 30 chapter 30 verse 11 and and Below it's just like like Moses was speaking to to the Israelites yes foreign Moses told them that today I am passing on to you the Commandments of the Lord and they are not hard and they are not far from you they're not in in heaven is so you can say who will go for us to Heaven take them and and tell tell them to us so we can fulfill them and it's not on the other other side of the sea ships so you can say oh who will go to the other end of the sea will bring them to us so we can fulfill them worried and Moses continues to teach me it says no this word is very close to you you've got things for everything because that's the will of God about you in Jesus Christ so right now I would like to pray to our Lord God we want to pray just like David prayed just like the Holy Spirit touches in our heart hearts because we are Travelers into the land of righteousness were you waiting for every one of us therefore teach us and help us if you're gonna glorify your name Almighty Lord let's bow down and pray Hospital s [Music] [Music] [Music] foreign foreign [Music] [Music] [Music] foreign [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] foreign [Music] [Music] [Music] I mean let's Circle [Music] foreign [Music] [Music] foreign [Music] foreign [Music] foreign [Music] foreign praise God you remember last week we were studying the Book of James chapter one and today we have the opportunity to dig into the second chapter of this same books I want to separate this chapter into two parts the first part will be verses 1 through 13. and then from 14 to the end of the chapter is and the first part talks about so that there would be no division among Believers is and the second part says we're Saved By Faith but that Faith must be backed up it must be living faith and it must be backed up with Works let's read verses 1 to 13. James chapter 2. James chapter 2 we'll be reading verses 1 through 13 he'll read in Ukrainian and you can read on the screen uh is [Music] foreign foreign [Music] uh Revenue services and I want to remind you that this scripture was written to the Believers that were they were spread out because of persecution it and so what's written here it's not for the people of the whole world it's for the Believers and James here he writes a very interesting thought that sometimes we don't even preach it Yak number is you know how for us to treat one another where should we sit and who should we put where in the church and he says here act upon one another so that there would be no division among you yeah how do we understand division what is it in um and in the English when you um when you get the definition of the word division it could be partiality bias Prejudice favoritism and even racism and when you look at these words sometimes it's hard for us to understand but if you look at them from the angle that sometimes people they favor one one group of people but the others they don't like as much and you even see that in church and James writes to be very careful so that you would not put one group of people higher than the others maybe you're looking at the color of their skin is and even if you're looking at the history of Christianity up to a hundred years ago for an all-white Church the blacks were not able to come inside and when I was coming back from Canada I stopped in Boston there's a church it's a historical landmark that church was the first place where a pastor let a black man come and be in their church it was a Baptist Church yeah and if you notice nowadays there's very very many black people that are Baptists that's only one characteristic another one could be how they dress how how they groom themselves how they present themselves and you can look if a person maybe looks like the from there from the world status and maybe their status are they Rich are they poor maybe what country are you from in what family were you born on what car did you come yeah what kind of wife or what kind of kids and how many children you have or maybe you don't have any others and it could be so so many different divisions foreign and here he says in the first verse that we would need to have faith in our lord Jesus so that we would not show favoritism to people is how do we understand this is and service to God and Faith to God you can see the true faith and true service when it does not separate different people yeah um and I want to focus on this place where it says believing in our Lord Jesus Christ because last time the first brother said that Christians they they go through this effort and they they know how to go through suffering because they've gone through suffering Steven and another time are they said our practical Christianity is not only in our words but in our Deeds as well and the true faith in our Lord Jesus Christ is shown in how we treat other people who it's how much um spiritually are we filled as Christians and I can just give you a very simple example um we see that James shows an example of a church service just like in the synagogue all the people came together they would sit down and they would study the word and you know our services nowadays are similar to like they had in the synagogue and imagine somebody comes inside and they want to sit down the Usher sees this brother oh this is look at what kind of person this is they need a very very good place and then next comes in like a homeless person who slept under the bridge they're not very well taken care of and they're trying to find a place for that homeless person somewhere farther so that he would not scare all the people out of the church I'll tell you one real life example of this and I was a witness of this is one sister comes that was a little bit late to the church service she comes to one person that's sitting in a chair she says please can you scoot over this is my spot can you imagine can you believe that this can happen now it means you know that spot that chair that she sits whether it was bought whether it was taken it's my spot can you believe that that would happen among Christians I'm not talking about other things but James writes here that this happens among you because you say you believe in Jesus the king of glory um but among one another you divide yourself over such those kind of things I want us to open the book of Galatians chapter 3 verse 28. and these words are written in that verse is can you believe that this is what Apostle Paul writes there's no Jew nor Gentiles there's no slave or free there's even no male or female I have a question to test you yeah here who in the family is higher the husband or the wife [Music] and I want to say that there is neither male or female for you are all one in Christ Jesus and I want to tell you the difference before God we are Spirit but we are saved by God's grace that's what makes us alike is true for God husband or wife our souls they are the same before God we have a different calling and a different function the husband is the head is and the wife is submits the wife helps that does not mean if the wife helps does not make her lower yes and it does not mean because the head is higher before God were the same and when I read the word of God I'll tell you what God teaches me in my life how to treat my wife and it tells Pastor Paul tells us how to treat our wives just as fine still um find vessels because she is partaker in the same Glory Swami come to the kingdom of God and there will be no male or female there will be no husband or wife so that we would not have trouble in prayer you know this is serious things and many times in the Slavic mindset we have this that I'm the husband I'm this and the wife is nobody says and then this mindset is transferred into family and from family to family and then even into the church and I remember one time we had guests come from outside the border and for us like everybody is there sitting at the table and the husband is sitting and everyone's running around helping foreign and I see that the guests aren't starting to either pray or to eat and they say we cannot start yeah they say where is your wife I call my wife we sit together at the table even and then they begin to eat and then I was still a young pastor but these ministers told me something very interesting they say the wife is not somebody that just serves but she is your helper you know when we came back from a pastor's conference and one brother asks one there were many ministers there he says what did you guys take for yourselves from this conference is and one brother says I understood that my wife is a helper if God did not give me a helper I would have no Ministry and how is that that's such a true thought that we can think we must have that same interaction with brothers and sisters in the church one thing that brings us together is that we are all sinners and also the fact that we were all saved by God's grace and washed by his blood is and that's why I want to remind one more time that faith in Jesus Christ the lord of Glory and those that don't accept people just aren't submissive it's not it's not a combine you cannot combine you can't combine those kind of people it's either we love the Lord and we don't separate with people or when we separate with people we throw away our Lord we divide from ourselves from him and John says how will we love a Lord that we do not see and we don't love our brother that we see well imagine Brother David here is the Son of God and I am a Son of God and we have one father and I love our father but I don't love my brother here people have that but we lie to ourselves when we read the life of Jesus Christ you know they had this problem in the times of Jesus the sinful people they don't change you know we even built a spaceship to go into space but our sinful nature it does not change they asked Jesus where are you from and he says from Nazareth it is and do you know what response they had right away what good can come out of Nazareth it's very simple yes if you're from Nazareth you're some kind of you're not normal you're lower than everyone else it was in time of Jesus foreign s a Christos analysis and Jesus analyzes the situation and said she has given more than everyone else is you know it's totally opposite of what the Disciples of what people were thinking let's remember Jesus's encounter with the Samaritan woman disciples went to buy food but Jesus is talking with the sinner is she is and even worse a Samaritan woman another example we see Jesus in the house of Zacchaeus he walks by and he says the key has come down from the tree I need to be in your house you know what they said about Jesus he is the friend of the Sinners and non-believers but what about in our hearts do we have that favoritism to some people do we live some people higher than others is and that's why God says he's chosen the poor people of this world to show his glory through them and Apostle Paul writes in First Corinthians look who was chosen among you are many of you wise or Rich and there was this response they said but the reason they were chosen was by Grace so that no one would be able to boast is foreign and the people that divide themselves it's like that one man that was forgiven a lot a lot of money but what he could not even forgive someone so such a little amount when I realized who I was and who God created me it says this humbles me and this helps me show love to others so I could serve and um show them God's love yes there's one more place here that the apostles and many times in churches it is taught that being rich is a blessing is not is missed you know from one side of it yes that is very true uh [Music] and another side of it people's look at it this Doctrine is that you know when you come to God God blesses everything and if you're poor that's a curse on you if you're rich you're so blessed but if you're poor you're cursed it's not just you know what the Bible says and Apostle Paul writes that people that come to God being blessed there there's a need for that and you need to they're looking for the Well in that so being rich is a blessing but you know what the Bible when we read Hebrews chapter 11. some receiving an answer from the Lord but others died you know waiting on the Lord in Italian and that's why the Bible teaches either being rich or poor it is all neutral because you can be poor but rich in the Lord because you remember there was that one poor person that when they passed away they went to Abraham's resting place but then there's also poor people that are poor spiritually poor physically and poor in every aspect there are rich people we can look at Abraham we can look at job and many other places in the Bible and even the people that place Jesus in his tomb they had a tomb ready where nobody was there before and they were able to serve Jesus with that but who served Jesus with their money do you remember what it was said it was written the names of the women and it says that they were able to serve Jesus and it's so wonderful to read the Bible is and when we read the Bible we see where we're acting correctly but some places we see where we're not fulfilling the will of God is that's why later on James says if you break even one law one small part of the law it's like breaking the whole law it says love your neighbor as you love yourself I have this question right away does it right here that before you can love your neighbor first You Need To Love Yourself is that is it that way it says love your neighbor as you love yourself so I have a question before you love your neighbor does that mean you need to love yourself first I'll give you the answer is this is one of the false teachings that is being taught today and it even came into Christianity because the Bible teaches that we have to die to ourselves what's written here is that naturally we love ourselves and that's why we need to love somebody else and another question here is it says if you break any of the laws does it matter if it's a big law or a small law [Music] like if a little child steals a small candy bar or somebody goes and Robs a whole bank is that the same thing it's a question another question you can look at it from a different perspective there's a man that looks upon a woman with lust or somebody that leaves his wife and goes to live with another woman is it the same thing is and the Bible says breaking one law is like breaking the whole law the whole the law is one as a whole that's true so if you just look at it from the surface if you break one of the little laws it's like breaking the whole laws and sometimes people read The Ten Commandments and they say oh I don't break this I don't break this I don't break this I do this a little bit this a little bit and so there's not really much bad today and that's why the Bible is telling us here that you know even if you fulfill the nine Commandments but you break one that's you're breaking all of The Commandments but I want to tell you one other thing there is a difference that you stole a little chocolate bar or you robbed a bank do you know why is [Music] because there's the law of sowing and reaping you know if you steal a little candy bar you might go out these doors and they'll give you a small fine but if you rob a whole Bank you can go to prison and sit a very long time in prison for that um and I don't want to talk about this too long but I just want to remind us here that James is saying that yes if you break the law no matter which law you break it is still a sin before God but he's not saying that there's not some with bigger consequences and some with smaller consequences and that's why here in the end it says Mercy is above judgment because in other words there's going to be a judgment of God but we will still need to give an answer for what we were given once we were Believers and what we did with all those things before God that's what James is writing because sometimes they P Believers believe foreign they think because I am saved it's written that the righteous don't come before judgment and they think they're righteous by God's grace Allah but and they also think that they don't have to give an answer for their deeds is and that's why it says we need to have this judgment of Mercy because Mercy comes before judgments Mercy always stands above judgments and that's the first part and we can talk about it a lot but in just a moment we're going to move on to the second part of this is you know the saving foreign Navy deal which is to this place praise God you know here this place it tells us that saving faith that true faith is saving Faith but you don't see and you don't see it just in words but in your life in your deeds and all your life will show that you are saved sorry true Faith it's talking it's interesting it begins from the mountain from the New Birth the new birth yes if there's no testimony of your new life there's no testimony that you're saved Charles Spurgeon wrote said these words Grace that does not change my life it will not save my soul if you want to know whether you're saved or not that means that Grace will change your life [Music] and James here even in verse 14 says can your faith save you if you do not have the Deeds that means that dead faith it does not saying regular some people think that you're saved only by faith and not by your Deeds that is a certain truth that you're truly Saved By Faith but a safe person will do the Deeds of their faith and that's why some people they mix up these two different things [Music] some people read where Paul says you're saved by faith through Grace and they think they don't need any more Deeds because they have faith and some think that James and Paul they're kind of counter each other in their arguments super book and Apostle Paul he says that we're only saved and justified by faith not by Deeds but James adds these words he says they don't count they don't come against one another problem and it says that faith that saves and by which we're Justified it must show deeds and it's a very simple example that is shown how will it be shown you see a poor person you see somebody that is hungry so somebody that is naked and does not have any clothes and if somebody if you tell them oh go and feed yourself go and get warm well that is how your faith is true Living Faith it's going to be shown differently you see somebody that is hungry what will you do you're gonna find a way to feed that person uh [Music] I remember we were passing by a big place and there was a homeless man sitting even and he's asking for food and many times they ask for money and you don't even want to give them money because you don't know what they're going to use it for but when somebody's asking for food I understand that he's not gonna go sell this food to somebody if I go buy it for him in a restaurant and so I was going with my wife to eat at a restaurant because first we said give us something to go we want to pay for it and take it to him I went outside and put it next to him I said may God bless you take this from the Lord and eat yeah I don't know if this thought came to me but it was on the heart of my wife and she said when I saw him take this food and eat I was happy that I listened to that listen to the Lord to go and help this man isn't it Muslim and we know many places in the word of God when people would come and it was God's angels just like Abraham wanted to show Hospitality but it wasn't just people passers-by it was angels from heaven and that's why the Bible says many times we don't even know but we receive God's Messengers in those kind of Deeds it and there's different examples where people will say oh I believe in God I'm a I'm a very strong believer and James says that's good that you do that but you want to know who James Compares they know the doctrines very well they know that God is one they believe in a living God but he said where are those people that believe and they tremble oh he said the demons they also believe and tremble [Music] and that's why Apostle James says brothers and sisters Believers yes if you have so many doctrines in your head that you can't even get down to serve the need of somebody then your faith is you can compare it to the faith of the Demons and he says do you not know that faith without Deeds is dead and he gives two examples of Abraham and of Rahab The Prostitute let's go shortly into Abraham is and it says that Abraham received that faith and righteousness before he did any works that means we don't have to do any works but that's not how it works Abraham didn't just believe in God but he listened to God because he went out of that place he was living and went where the Lord sent him that was the first time he listened to him when God told him that he will have the inheritance of children like the stars in the sky and the sandbox and when God told him to bring his son as a sacrifice his only son he believed him I will tell you truly yeah if I was waiting till a hundred years old for a child and for God's promise is and God lets my wife have a child at 90 years old that's not just old that's already somebody that is almost dying is and if I Heard a Voice that says bring your child as a sacrifice I would think that's not from God it's not possible God said he will give me inheritance God gave me one son and now it says bring him as a sacrifice you know what kind of face what does the bible he believed that if God says this and his son will be as given as a sacrifice God is strong enough to raise him from the dead that was his faith is and when this Faith was shown in reality when he lifted up this knife God stopped him he says now I see that you are faithful to me that's the kind of faith that will be turned into righteousness may God bless us in this Brothers and when we look at Rahab she was far away but she believed in the blessing of God but she didn't just believe she did something first she received the people that were spies that was not something to receive the enemy into your home that was death to me and everyone who is but she believes and next she let them down the wall so they were able to escape foreign and that's why James finishes and concludes saying just like our body without faith our body is dead without the soul same with our faith is dead without words and to conclude I want to read Titus Chapter 30. correct ly and I want to share one example where when the four friends were bringing their one friend that was in their bed you know business it said that Jesus saw their faith how can you see faith do you want to know how in the works in your life you want to know how their faith was shown that you could see it they took that bad yeah I don't know whose it was four of them came together and they said we will help our friend we will help our neighbor whoever it was and I can imagine four people carrying a sick person it's not easy it's not like a lift was taken they were had to use their strength they take apart the roof and they lower him right to Jesus and Jesus sees their faith I want for our faith to be sure so that everyone could see our truth so that our lives would change so that when a father reads the Bible stands on his knees so that the children could see the glory shining on us when brothers and sisters in church they have the true Living Faith it would be evident in all aspects it will be practical things that are shown it'll be love it will be being humble it will be many different things in all aspects of our life may God bless us to remember that faith is alive it will change our life and it will be evident just like our bodies without the souls is dead so our faith without works is dead I ask you to forgive me because the time has passed very quickly so very quickly if you have any questions I ask you right now so that you could ask the questions foreign foreign should I repeat the question in English so people understand she has a question to clarify maybe she didn't understand something when we were talking about loving your neighbor as yourself about the false teaching and that she maybe she didn't understand today there's like a very liberal teaching where if you want to fulfill this commandment first you must love yourself but that's not what this is talking about here and this teaching isn't including the whole Bible where because the Bible says we must we must deny ourselves and you know to put it in different words it shouldn't be we shouldn't be saying that we must love somebody else because we love ourselves because it's natural for us because the Bible says you know you take care of your bodies you know it's natural for us that's and the same thing about your neighbor do you kind of understand yeah so she's asking to clarify so you it's so that we shouldn't be egoistic that and he's explaining that we need to not love ourselves so much that out of that we will love somebody else not that way but there's a false teaching like that we've heard many times foreign foreign foreign foreign and he's saying that here it's almost in the other direction where there's people that don't love themselves at all and God wants to show us through this that you know we have to he wants to show us his love that we look at ourselves how much God loved us and I'm even worse than my neighbor God loves my neighbor so much more and God just wants to reveal his love through that foreign he reads in John Chapter 13 Verse 34 he says a new commandment I give to you that you love one another as I have loved you that you also love one another and that's what Jesus is giving a new commandment even in the New Testament to love one another because he wants to show us his love to us uh foreign [Music] he has a question he says how do we explain this because we know we believe that there's nothing that can draw us to Christ but after we come to him after all our Salvation then we need to have these Deeds that show our true Living Faith but there's some people that they think were like the the man on the cross that he just prayed that prayer and that's all we need is to pray that prayer of repentance and that's all we need we don't need to have any works because as soon as we start talking about works it brings us back they say it's the Old Law it's the old commandment the Old Testament and how do we respond to those kind of questions that say we don't need works at all foreign you know it's a very it's a whole different topic it's a very good question because it's a different topic when you how do you check yourself whether you're saved by grace or you're saved by works it's just a simple question you know just an example you fell and you didn't reach that that high standard that God gave you um and a question to us in that moment do we lose our Salvation it's a very important question when we're a child of God if we slip and we fall do we become a child of the devil and similar questions are very interesting questions do you remember Brother David what he was preaching foreign who are sons and who are orphans sons are those that know the father live with the father and they are able to partake with everything with the father but the son that lived in the home of the father is personal Services you know who was a better better son The Prodigal Son that was gone lost and came back and received forgiveness from the father asked for forgiveness or the one that was sitting at in the living in the home of the father and said you don't give me anything I don't receive anything from me who is the Son and who is the orphan it's a lot of questions and I just want you to think about it because it's a very very big topic because if you don't have the right answer to these questions then it's very difficult to say that a person is saved by grace and not by their own works and I'll add to this is [Music] we are saved only by grace foreign but when we come down from Calvary and we don't go straight to heaven then we need to show our faith by the works his name is and I believe this thief on the cross if he did not die there but he came down from this cross then he would be going to church he would be doing all these good things he would even be filled with the Holy Spirit that's just a short answer for a big topic foreign and here in Galatians Apostle Paul five times in chapter two and three it says the works of the law and that's where he mentions and James says is the law of Freedom where we have this freedom to do good or evil and we choose to do good do you understand what the difference is one some people understand freedom I can do whatever I want that is but the freedom that James talks about is the that Christ gives us freedom and we have received this Freedom now we choose to do what Christ wants us to do this in Ephesians Paul writes that you have freedom not just to do what your body wants but to do the works of the spirit and James also talks about the law of freedom foreign materials approach and he says that there was a sermon where we said we can give a place to the devil in our lives and when we give that place to the devil that's where sin can come in and through that sin the Bible even says the punishment of sin is death and that's where we can begin to stumble on these works you start to do the wrong things and you can lose your salvation you don't receive your salvation through works but if you don't have these good works in your life to prove your salvation you could have been saved for one moment for a second for a few days but you can end up losing the salvation and the question he asks at the end is do we believe that a person can lose their salvation we'll get to the place where James says sorry the Temptation they give birth to the sin yeah we'll get to the part where James says that Temptation gives birth to sin and the sin gives birth to death because you could just if it's the Temptation it's not yet sin it's just the beginning it's just give being birthed we can just break it off kill it and not do the sins but doing the sin that's not death yet we did not die yet we can ask for repentance and we can not die but that's in the beginning when something is just being it's just beginning between then and birth is still nine months and we heard that when somebody has something we don't have nine months we have until the sun sets until the end of the day to fix it it's the last question we know there's many questions with this last one okay foreign I want to tell everyone so that you know ask so many questions to about your salvation to read Paul's Epistles that's how Paul says follow me as I follow Christ videos let's pray for the needs Allah foreign foreign I think we'll discuss with the pastor to you know stay on this topic because this is a very good topic to focus on salvation you know our faith things like that because it's very good yes we can read the Epistles of Paul and he writes a lot there but just like in Acts we read that the Ethiopian man he was reading the book of Isaiah and God sent him a minister to help explain he asks the minister asked do you understand what you're reading and he said no he needed somebody to explain it to them and it's same for us we can read all these things in the Bible but sometimes we need these people that are able to explain it to us so I think it's good for us to read the Bible but also have these discussions here they're so wonderful to study the word get deep into the word um let's thank God that he blessed us so good you had very good time yesterday brothers and sisters a good time and we'll thank God for this but if you have any needs any thanksgivings please share with us Natalia she she wants to thank God and also they have friends that are going to Charlotte and back so that God would protect them and she has thanksgivings she wants to thank the Lord that she has protected her up until this time and he has blessed her so much brother says thank you for your prayers so much he is praying but he asks us to encourage him also in prayer because already in about a month or two he will have to start heading back to Ukraine but he says where they're the children of the Lord are there is blessings let us pray for sister Lida for her health foreign let's pray Hospitality harness it says foreign [Music] foreign [Music]
