[00:00:01] Happy Father's Day.
[00:00:04] And happy Father's Day to y' all dads. It's great to be together and getting an opportunity to celebrate being a dad but also being celebrated by your kids. I hope that's happening. And that might be something like watching the Scottie Scheffler come back and win the US Open. I don't know. Clark window just got to take this massive dive and Scotty's got to play the game of his life and then we got a real champion. But I don't really care about it. Okay.
[00:00:30] Or you'll be watching as one of our elders. Casey Bryant, who was here last week, drove with he and his boys to Kansas City to watch Ecuador because they were missionaries in Ecuador for about 10 years and they played Carico and Tide and that was not. Did not go as expected. So when Casey comes back, you can razz him about that, which I already have on text.
[00:00:55] So. But you know what, here's the thing. Thinking about what we just saw a minute ago.
[00:01:00] Not everybody gets the opportunity to sit in a nicely air conditioned living room watching Scottie Scheffler come back miraculously to win the US Open or some other soccer team of your choice winning the game this afternoon. There's a lot of guys because of their choices sitting in places like these prisons, these. And incarcerated for the opportunity. Not these guys. Sorry, that's something, that's something different. We'll come back to those guys in a minute.
[00:01:32] That's good though. I like the way that came up but man, that may even be a better use of it than I had for it. But we'll come back to it. All right. But anyway, these dudes are in there and if you were moved whatever by that, if you were moved and have a passion for that, Tom sitting right down front here has been so involved and grateful for your guys interaction.
[00:01:59] And what God's doing in the midst of those prisons is amazing. And it sounded like Jeff and Sheila have been here like five minutes. They've been here about 15 years and really kind of took up on something that, that the church has been doing for a long time. This day with dads or family day at the prison. And if you'd like to be involved, the next one is in August, the 15th of August and you can get ahold of Scott Wilson. Very simple to get ahold of Scott S. C O T T that spells Scott.
[00:02:32] WCC.org if you want to find out more. So hope you can get involved in that. Now as we already know, the World cup has brought the world to our shores, isn't that right? As you may, last week in Dallas, the Orange Army.
[00:02:50] There you go. Has invaded. This is just a kind of a collage of the pictures that were out there on the Internet. But man, if you look at that one picture on the bottom on the first, there, there were thousands of Netherlands or Dutch fans walking down a four lane road heading towards AT&T Stadium. Some of you will get this joke. It was like the Hare Krishners were involved.
[00:03:16] They used to wear orange jumpsuits, right? I don't even know. I don't even think there were that many of the Hare Krishners as there are these Dutch soccer fans. And they were crazy. And they tied. You know, they haven't lost a World cup game in like 2,000 years, but they've tied one. And yesterday they won five to one. Man, people are crazy about World Cup. And of course, as the US has won both of their games, we're becoming a little more crazy ourselves. But one of the things that I thought as we were watching this World cup, the world is coming to our door, right? And we have an opportunity as a nation, really, as believers in this country.
[00:03:59] Even though you might not be in contact because you might not be over in Dallas or you might not be at one of the 11 other cities, do you know that there are, at minimum, small estimate, 7 million crazy soccer friends from the world who've invaded our country. And many of them will stay here for five weeks renting VRBOs and hotel rooms, eating in restaurants, seeing our sights and running into our people.
[00:04:25] And what I want to do is I want to pray that some of those people who get run into by believing people would turn to Jesus. Because, you know, there's really only two kinds of people in the world who don't really understand or have a relationship with Christ. And we can narrow it down.
[00:04:45] And in one way, it's those people who are really feeling and starting to come to grips with the fact that they're under the weight of sin.
[00:04:55] And then there are those people on this side and I'm sorry, I feel like I always do that. The people who are like better off are always on my left.
[00:05:03] Don't think you are. Okay, because it's just the way we're doing this, right? But on the right, there's the other people who are refusing to acknowledge whether or not they feel it or not or whether or not they're just so oblivious to it. They're refusing to acknowledge that there is a weight inside of Them that's dragging them down. And they may not understand it, but they're just not acknowledging it. And that's really kind of where we are. So my hope and my prayer is that both people who are in those positions would come into a relationship with somebody who's a believer in this country and leave from here understanding their need for a Savior and have put their faith in the only one who can save them. Jesus. Let's pray together. God, I thank you for dads today. I thank you for the opportunity we have to engage in the spiritual development of our children. I pray, God, that. That you would help us as dads to do that. Well, I also pray God, for the people who are here, who are far from you, from every single different walk of life, who are coming for this great spectacle of sport. I pray that they would interact with people who show hospitality, but more than just a meal, but more an opportunity that you give them to express the. The real nature of the gospel, to meet their real need. We thank you, in Jesus name, amen.
[00:06:32] Well, as the Paulsons just read, we're in a series on the table, and a new meal has come about. And this meal is one where we have these two kinds of people. We have a woman who is feeling and have felt and has responded to the weight of her sin. And we got this Pharisee dude over here who is oblivious and not willing to acknowledge that there might be a problem.
[00:06:59] And I want to help us get to the bottom of this. Like, we've been doing a lot recently to ask, like, three questions. And in general, let me just say this. As I think about my preaching and as I think about preaching in general, what we're trying to do, as we kind of come together every week, is we're trying to get to the bottom of the biblical truth that we're looking at.
[00:07:21] And we're trying to kind of give the spiritual implications of those biblical truths. And then we're trying to get to where we can actually take those truths and the implications of them and apply them to our life.
[00:07:32] That's really the point of a sermon.
[00:07:35] And a sermon has been successful in my life. I don't mean me preaching a successful sermon, but me listening or hearing or responding in my own heart. If I understand more truth, if I see the spiritual implication and I push that towards applying it to my life. So if I think about successful sermons, it's when people do that, not about how well we're entertained or how nice the outline look or how much I learned, but how much the truth affected me to the point that I started to change.
[00:08:08] And I hope that's my prayer. That's my prayer for you today. That's my prayer for me as I prepare it and get deliver this sermon that I would apply the biblical truth that's here. And so when we get to these three questions that we're going to ask, they're really simple.
[00:08:23] How does Jesus. Number one, the first question we're going to look at is, how does Jesus respond to people?
[00:08:28] Number two, how do people respond to Jesus? And number three, how should we, you and me, personally respond to Jesus? So let's start with this question about Jesus. How does he respond to Jesus? As I'm reading through this passage, here's a couple things that I see about the way Jesus responds to people.
[00:08:47] First, he accepts what they give or offer.
[00:08:51] So this Pharisee, I guess he probably texted Jesus, right? And he said, hey, we're hanging out at our house and gonna have a meal. Why don't you come over? And Jesus said, like, you know what, about three hours later, because that's the way everybody texts, right? Okay, I'll come, right? And Jesus shows up and he accepts this invitation. I love that. Look at verse 1. One of the Pharisees asked him to eat with him. And he. And what did he do? He went, right? I mean, he. That's just. That's just such a cool statement for me. Because Jesus accepts an invitation to a person's home to eat dinner with them. I mean, I know that doesn't sound like a big deal, but this is Jesus we're talking about.
[00:09:35] Jesus enters in with them. It's really cool. I love that he accepts what they give.
[00:09:40] He gives an invitation. Jesus accepts it. He. He went, look at this woman. This woman. And towards verses 37 and 38, we see this woman doing all these worshipful acts to Jesus. What does Jesus do? He could have like kind of stonewalled her and said, no, we're not doing that. But he didn't do that either. He accepted the worship, he allowed her to do those things, and he accepted that gift. And what that encourages me is that Jesus wants to accept who I am, where I am. And we'll get to that in just a minute. Secondly, Jesus isn't a respecter of persons.
[00:10:17] Don't get me wrong, that's a good thing.
[00:10:21] Webster says that a respecter of person is someone who treats people according to a culturally acceptable rank, status, or importance. Okay, that's not good. It's not good to look at the way culture sees people and then rank people and accept them based on whether or not they fit the cultural norm of whether it's celebrityism or whether it's achievement or whatever the cultural norm or the cultural ranking is. I mean, what Jesus did was not gravitate towards those people.
[00:10:54] He gravitated towards everybody. And that's something we see throughout it. He didn't care about social or societal norms. He didn't care about positions. I mean, that did not bind him up at all.
[00:11:07] The problem for us is that sometimes it does bind us. But that's another sermon we get caught up on, you know, inviting those people who we can think, as we talked about last week, can either benefit us or serve us, or bring some value to us. But Jesus just looks at everybody. I mean, he's looking at religious guys and tax collectors. He's looking at men who are sinners and women who are sinners. And he's saying, man, everybody, I'm gravitating towards everyone, not just towards one class of people.
[00:11:37] The third thing that we see about Jesus response is that he meets us where we are.
[00:11:43] Isn't that a good thing?
[00:11:45] I mean, he meets this Pharisee in this invitation to come into his home.
[00:11:50] And Jesus knew who this Pharisee was and what this Pharisee was thinking. He knew that the Pharisee was skeptical.
[00:11:58] He knew that the Pharisee distrusted him. He knew that the Pharisee didn't respect him. He knew that the Pharisee was hostile towards him. I mean, he knew all these things. And he still met this guy where he was for the purpose of delivering him from the bondage of his sin, from his own self righteousness, from his own inability to acknowledge the fact that there was a weight on him.
[00:12:25] Jesus met him there for that purpose.
[00:12:28] But he also entered into the women's word, the woman's worship.
[00:12:32] When you read what she did, I mean, in verses 37 it says that this woman crashed the dinner party.
[00:12:41] I mean, she was a woman of the city. She was a sinner. We'll talk about that in just a minute. And when she learned that he was at that table, I mean, she just came right in. And then she brought this alabaster flask of ointment. And standing behind him at his feet weeping, she began to wet his feet with her tears. And she wiped them with her hair of her head and kissed his feet and, and anointed them with the ointment. Now I tell you, I read the scripture a lot of times and I think to myself, man, there's some weird things that were going on back then, right? I mean, I really mean a lot of the things that they did in the Old Testament and in Jesus Day, which were common to them at that time, just feel so weird to me today. Right? Let me just tell you something about this particular event that was not only weird, that's not only weird to me today. That was super weird in those situations as well.
[00:13:33] Okay? Here's why. Because you got a woman who's a sinner going into a Pharisee's house uninvited. Number one, that's not only weird, that's dangerous. Number two, you have a woman who is standing there, well, and grasping and crying on and taking her hair and wiping the feet of another man who's not her husband, kissing those feet, then anointing them with oil as if he was somehow going to be buried. Which is why you did that.
[00:14:07] I mean, I'm telling you, that was not only odd as I read it this past week, that was odd when it actually happened. And you know what Jesus did?
[00:14:17] He met her there in her worship.
[00:14:20] Because that was the response of a woman who had been under the weight of this sin for her entire life and it had been lifted by the Savior of the world. Powerful.
[00:14:33] And he met her there.
[00:14:35] And you know what else he does?
[00:14:37] He meets us where we are.
[00:14:41] So maybe that's the question we begin with. I mean, I know that we're going to talk about our response in just a minute, but Jesus meets us if we're self righteous, if we're in this place where Jesus needs to confront us with the truth of the gospel and the truth of the fact that we're empty without him. Tara Leigh Cobble, who writes the commentary on the read through the Bible that the women's ministry is doing and our small group is doing it as well, both men and women and others in the church got a lot of people reading through the Bible and the Bible recap they year. One of the things that I read this week in the commentary that she wrote, Tara Leigh Cobble was this. She says that he, that's Jesus gave us new eyes to see. He gave us a new heart to love. He made us new.
[00:15:32] We did none of that ourselves.
[00:15:36] I mean, one of the things that Jesus is going to convince you of and convict you of is that your self righteousness is not very valuable.
[00:15:48] So if you're there, Jesus is going to meet you in that need.
[00:15:52] If you're a sinner like that woman, Jesus is also Going to meet you in that need.
[00:15:59] I've used the singer Jelly Roll a lot recently, and I want to use him again because I don't know where he is with Jesus. But I know one thing. He talks. He's got a better handle on brokenness than just about any artist I've ever met. Been around. But here's what he says as he talks about walking into an AA meeting for the first time.
[00:16:18] He says, I walk into this AA meeting, I'm seven hours, three minutes sober.
[00:16:24] That's good.
[00:16:26] And he says, as he sits there, I'm ashamed as I sit in the seat, feeling as I do before all those in the room. Isn't that strange? I mean, I've gone into a lot of AMEs with friends. I've never been there as an addiction, but it seems like to me, if you're watching that situation unfold, everybody in that room would understand that everybody's in the same place, but they don't.
[00:16:55] What they understand is that everybody's looking at them thinking, how can you be that person?
[00:17:01] And then Jelly Roll says this. He says, that was all going on in my head till a guy 20 years sober looked at me and said, everyone in here has had the same defeat.
[00:17:14] And nobody walks into this room on a winning streak.
[00:17:19] Man, I thought that was powerful for my friends who are addicts, who've been through that and have victory, that's awesome. And I'm so grateful. Many of you have been clean a long time and you can experience and feel that exact same thing. Everybody in that room has experienced the same defeat, and nobody comes into that room on a winning streak.
[00:17:39] You know what? That's true in an AA room.
[00:17:43] That's true in a World cup stadium.
[00:17:46] That's true in this room right here. You know, everybody has had the same kinds of defeats every single person in this room. And nobody comes into that situation on a winning streak. In fact, because of our sin, we're on this, like, perpetual losing streak.
[00:18:03] We're on a perpetual losing streak. And without Jesus winning the day for us, man, we will never, ever be anything more than a loser in terms of trying to get some victory, which I guess is what a loser is now. Man, that's. Jesus meets us there. So if you're a dad right now, failing to connect, Jesus meets you there. Failing to connect with your kids, Jesus meets you there. If you're. If you're a mom totally stressed out in the Chick Fil A line because you didn't get your mixture exactly properly in terms of Your Diet Coke and whatever else you put in that Diet Coke that's not on the menu, right?
[00:18:47] If you're, if you are a somebody who operates out of the boardroom of a business and you're just operating there, inflating numbers so you look good, Jesus, he'll meet you there.
[00:19:01] If you're a nurse in the trauma center who's totally whacked out by what's going on in the world, Jesus is going to meet you there. Or if you're just a rebellious person in the back alley, whatever your back alley is, Jesus wants to meet you there.
[00:19:16] And the thing about it is, Jesus offers those who are self righteous and those who are feeling the way of their sin and the exact same thing, deliverance through his death and resurrection.
[00:19:29] That's what he wants to do.
[00:19:33] So Jesus, man, he wants to meet you where you are because he accepts who you are and because he's not a respecter of persons and because he wants you to know him.
[00:19:50] So here's the thing.
[00:19:52] How do people respond to that? We'll get to us personally in just a minute, but from this passage, how do we respond to that?
[00:19:59] And how do people respond to that? Not us. How do people respond? Well, the responses from the dinner are pretty straightforward. The Pharisee.
[00:20:07] Remember what a Pharisee is?
[00:20:10] Vicki and I were down with our grandkids this past weekend for a little bit and we had the opportunity to read them and put them to bed, read them stories and put them to bed. And Vicki was reading from the children's Bible that they have. And I just thought the description that, that she read to Ella that night just fits this so well. Talking about a Pharisee, describing what a Pharisee is.
[00:20:36] And this is how it reads. In those days, there were some extra super holy people, at least that's what they thought they were.
[00:20:47] Love that part. And they were called Pharisees. And every day they would stand out there in the middle of the street and they would pray out loud in this big extra super holy voice, right?
[00:21:02] They really weren't praying so much as showing off.
[00:21:06] I love that description. These Pharisee guys, they love traditional. They loved to have everybody know that they were in this position. See, the Pharisees, they were smug, which is just a fancy way of saying that they were excessively pleased with their position. And they, they made sure you knew it, right? That's what smug means. It's that smile when you say something that they either don't agree with or they look down upon. They were Self righteous.
[00:21:35] They. They thought that holiness was something that they earned. But even more than that, they were prideful in it.
[00:21:43] They were hostile to the claims of Jesus, his claim of divinity, his claim of a new way to look at the law, his claim that he could forgive sins, all blasphemy in their mind.
[00:21:59] He was not excited about Jesus whatsoever. And I don't think his motive of bringing him to dinner, this Pharisee that we're talking about, was anything but to, well, take him down a few notches for sure.
[00:22:11] Secondly, there's the woman.
[00:22:13] She's the one who is, well, the woman of the city, a sinner. Now, lot's been written about that, the woman of the city. Many people think that might have been a prostitute. And it possibly could be, as you look at that word combination, it could also just be that she was a woman from that city and that she was a sinner. And that sinner often meant in those days, that it was somebody who didn't keep the law. And they would be known by that because they weren't then allowed to be in the temple. They'd been turned out of the temple. So it could have been that this woman was a prostitute and everybody knew it, and that sinner. But it also could have been that she was just a sinner in general and that she'd been turned out from the temple.
[00:22:57] And everybody knew that too. And it doesn't really matter.
[00:23:01] The point is, is that she was a woman who was experiencing the depth and the struggle to get out from under the weight of her sin. And when Jesus did that for her, man, she couldn't not do everything that she did.
[00:23:17] Crying on him, wiping tears, putting alabaster lotion on him. Well, which was weird because it did kind of, well, speak a message about what Jesus was going to do and what would happen to Jesus. It was just this powerful moment. She worshiped him. She was. The possibility of her being a free woman from this sin just overwhelmed her. I mean, the differences were so stark.
[00:23:45] The woman honored Jesus with everything.
[00:23:48] And Jesus, as he looks at this guy, he says, you didn't honor me at all.
[00:23:54] This woman, I mean, she hasn't stopped giving me worship since we got here. You didn't even put out any water for my feet. Which was customary not just to, like, dignitaries, but to anybody.
[00:24:06] You didn't care about me. You didn't honor me. You didn't even think of me as a guest.
[00:24:11] When you examine the differences, I mean, she, this woman, allowed Jesus to examine her heart.
[00:24:18] And the Pharisee he wasn't interested in Jesus examining his heart. All he cared about was whether he could examine Jesus.
[00:24:25] This woman felt her need so deeply.
[00:24:28] And this Pharisee, he just couldn't get a grip on what the problem was in his life. In fact, he didn't think he had a problem.
[00:24:38] Everything was good.
[00:24:41] Now the question I think we have to ask ourselves is, where do we find ourselves?
[00:24:50] You know, Jesus response to both of these people was the same.
[00:24:54] He was patient.
[00:24:57] He was inviting.
[00:24:59] He was meeting them where they were.
[00:25:02] He had the same message that he wanted to give them. He wanted them to experience everything that he had for them. It wasn't a different message.
[00:25:10] He wanted to offer them the grace that comes through his death and resurrection that would be just a few short months or so later.
[00:25:21] He wanted them to know him and experience the weight being lifted from them.
[00:25:28] But their response was completely different.
[00:25:31] So different.
[00:25:33] The question we have to ask ourselves is, what is our response?
[00:25:38] Because Jesus meets us in the same place. Whether we're feeling the weight of our sin like that woman did, or whether we're not willing to acknowledge the weight of our sin the way the Pharisee did.
[00:25:48] Where do we find ourselves in that?
[00:25:54] As we read, as this passage was read to us by the Paulsons, we see this parable that Jesus tells us. It's such an interesting parable. It's an interesting parable because it's really about the same thing.
[00:26:07] I mean, it feels like there are two different kinds of sinners here.
[00:26:11] One who had come before the Master, owing the Master a lot, and the other who was coming before the Master, owing the Master a little.
[00:26:22] And really what Jesus wants to tell the Pharisee is that you have your whole life messed up.
[00:26:30] See, the woman, she understood the depth of her sin. And when Jesus forgave it, she couldn't do anything but worship him. Jimmy. She had been forgiven so much.
[00:26:43] Right?
[00:26:44] But you know what this story tells? You know, Jesus tells this story.
[00:26:49] He says in that story that the one who owed 500 in ARI and the other owed 50, and when they could not pay.
[00:27:00] Michael Tropea was talking to us about this in our preaching team meeting last week. And he said, you know, here's what struck me, and I think this is so good, neither one could pay.
[00:27:10] I mean, neither one. The one who owed a little and the one who owed a lot. It was too much.
[00:27:15] It was a lot for both of them. The point isn't that there are two different, you know, extents of sin and brokenness. And the Weight you carry. Everyone is in the same place.
[00:27:26] No one can pay except for one.
[00:27:31] The Master forgave them both.
[00:27:36] Now, if you are under the weight of your sin and feeling that the Master, no matter what the depth of your sin is, not only wants to forgive you, but is capable of forgiving you.
[00:27:51] Now, if you are struggling with this idea of even having an issue, that if you're trying to figure out whether you, yeah, I sometimes feel a little guilty or I sometimes feel like I should do something because there's something just not right, but you're not willing to acknowledge that you're really broken under the weight of your sin. Maybe you've never even heard that before.
[00:28:13] Maybe you don't even get it. Maybe you think you've got this wealth of goodness that comes in. Maybe you don't even think you're really wealthy in it. Maybe you just think you're pretty good and you got a relationship. And when you get to heaven, if there is such a place, you're going to kind of work it out with the guy upstairs, some sort of handshake, beer and a cigar kind of conversation, and it's all going to work out good.
[00:28:45] Last Sunday, actually, last Monday, I think it was, Elon Musk's company went public.
[00:28:53] You probably heard about that.
[00:28:56] I think he made a little money on that first trillionaire, right?
[00:29:02] You have any idea what a trillion dollars looks like?
[00:29:06] I'm telling you, it's a lot.
[00:29:09] I know there are a lot of people in this room who understand math better than I do, but I got stuck when the New York Times tried to help me understand it. One of the first things they said was, I want you to put your hand up at a million dollars and create a continuum to a trillion dollars. And then it asks you, where would you put a billion dollars? Don't nobody say it, please. Yet. Nobody say it yet. And I, like many of you, except for you smart ones, would say probably pretty much in the middle, right?
[00:29:41] But you know what?
[00:29:42] A billion dollars is 1000 millions, and a trillion dollars is a million millions. So a billion dollars on this scale is, like, right here, okay?
[00:29:57] So keep in mind that if we're thinking about all of his wealth from the time he started his company at 31 years old, he has been making, since that day, $59,000aminute.
[00:30:13] $59,000aminute, which multiplies to $3.6 million an hour. Not a bad hourly wage, $602 million a week.
[00:30:31] And you see where this is going.
[00:30:34] His net worth is more than 125 countries.
[00:30:37] He has enough money to buy every NBA and NFL team and still have $500 billion left of.
[00:30:45] That's what the Denison Forum told us this week.
[00:30:48] Now, that is a lot of cash.
[00:30:52] He has material wealth.
[00:30:57] You know what the Pharisees had in their mind?
[00:31:03] Spiritual wealth.
[00:31:05] They believed, for whatever reason, that the rules and the regulations and everything that they kept added up to like a trillion dollars spiritually.
[00:31:17] And of course, there's no way they, you know, couldn't make it.
[00:31:24] But here's the thing.
[00:31:27] Their spiritual wealth can't translate to Elon's material wealth. And even if it could, one of my friends said even with $1 trillion, you still can't buy salvation.
[00:31:48] Right?
[00:31:51] I mean, here's the thing.
[00:31:55] If you're being crushed under the weight of your sin, you need Jesus.
[00:32:01] And if you've received Jesus and you're still feeling crushed under the weight of your sin, you need to believe and understand and find yourself in the word, recognizing Jesus truth that you're forgiven.
[00:32:18] I mean, you're forgiven, and nothing you can do will take you from that place.
[00:32:25] And second, if you're under the weight of your sin and you're not acknowledging it because you believe that somehow you've got this, like, Elon musk spiritual wealth kind of built up inside of you, it ain't enough.
[00:32:43] In fact, it's nothing.
[00:32:45] You need Jesus, and Jesus is calling you and he's offering you this gift which is spiritual life, forgiveness, transformation, and an eternal place with him in his kingdom.
[00:33:05] Let's pray together.
[00:33:11] Thank you, Jesus, for your gift to us, your forgiveness. Thank you for calling us into that.
[00:33:20] Thank you for reaching into our depravity and drawing us to you, God. We couldn't have done that on our own.
[00:33:34] I mean, even the song that we were singing just a minute ago that Martin Luther wrote, I mean, we are in a position where we cannot earn our salvation.
[00:33:47] Martin Luther wrote those words because he was man. He was reforming, what, decades, years, literally centuries of the church had messed up, that we can somehow feel as if we're okay because of the way we do something for God.
[00:34:08] It's only in the blood of Christ. Only in the blood.
[00:34:14] I pray that we would live there if we've been forgiven and that we would move there if we need forgiven.
[00:34:26] By trusting Jesus as our savior, putting our faith in the death and resurrection of what Jesus did, admitting him a sinner, receiving this free gift of salvation, and asking God to enter into our hearts and our lives.
[00:34:43] It's a simple process of coming to know Jesus.
[00:34:52] We praise you, we worship you, God.
[00:34:57] Let's stand and do that together.
