[0:00] So I've had conversations in the past, and people go, "What? You should share some stuff about what's going on, like the vision of the church." And I go like, "Man, we talk about the vision of the church all the time." And so just for a little bit this morning, I just want to do that. For us, you hear us say all the time, we go the distance to bring people closer to God. And what that means, that means that we're invested in people's lives, that the reason we exist is so people discover the hope of Jesus Christ in their life, and the freedom that comes with that. And so then we think about how it would be easy for us to go through and think about how many people we want to put in the seats within our room and all like that. But really what we want is we want people to experience that transformation of Jesus Christ, and be baptized, and grow, and be disciple. Because it's not enough just to know or follow or even to be a disciple.
[0:48] We want to be disciple makers, and we want to set ourselves apart from the world. And so just a few weeks ago, we showed a highlight of the baptisms that were all done. And God, like I live, "The answer's yes, now what's the question?" And that's a dangerous way to live, but it's the way that God wants us to live. And I was driving back from Miramichi, experiencing the baptisms that you all saw. And then the weeks before, Moncton campus, Shediac campus had baptisms, and I just feel my spirit, God, go, "Okay, what's next? You ready to go?" And I'm like, because I was like, "Oh yeah, we've now baptized believers, like at all of our campuses." And like, that's an incredible thing to see that grow in the life of our church. And that's what we measure, is that, and then the salvations that happen.
[1:34] The children in Tidal Kids who pray for Jesus to be their Lord and Savior. Or in students as they go through life trying to figure out the challenges and find freedom, or recovery ministries where people find freedoms within that. That's what we're about, is pointing everybody to Jesus. There was a special moment a few weeks back, and I was standing up here, and we gave the invitation to give your life to Christ and invited people to come down. And I remember over this side as I looked, there was no better sight for me as a pastor to see what a discipler and the disciple coming down, arm wrapped around one another, to come down front to pray, to receive Jesus. That's why we exist.
[2:25] The vision is God's vision for people to find Him and to grow in Him. And those God moments that happen, they're so sweet when they happen and for us to experience. And how does that all happen? That all happens by all of you. All of you not only investing time in serving, and time in praying, but time in finances. And I know that it's like, "Oh, he's going to talk about finances." The one thing in church you can't talk about is finances. But if you look at our finances, we're open. We put it in the newsletter every week. There's another reason to sign up for newsletters. Go keep track of what's going on financially. And right now, this year, we're running a bit behind, but you know what? God's got it in His hands, and we trust in God, but it's also part of how we want to live in our mindset. What is it we want to do?
[3:10] And for me, I think about for us as a church, as we think about our mindset, whether it's an earthly mindset or a kingdom mindset, you can get lost in church, like being overly attractional. Right? Like you're just trying to create the hoopla and all like that, and Charles Spurgeon says, "If you win them with a carnival, you have to keep doing carnivals in order to keep them." Well, we're not in the business of carnivals. We're in the business of mission. What God's called us to. And so you'll hear those words attractional and missional, and we're trying to be like, you see a grandfather clock? We're just trying to be in that little sweet spot. A grandfather clock pendulum doesn't go like this. Attractional, missional, attractional, missional. It's just in a sweet spot.
[3:57] Attractional, missional, attractional. It's right in there. To keep us on mission so that we don't get distracted from all that's going on. And so when I look at the world today and I think, like, "What is happening?" It's crazy to think, and you have conversations with people. But there is one saying that I have come to dislike in the six years that I've been back, and I know it was here before I left. It's like, "Tough times in the Maritimes." Hard times in the Maritimes. We wear it like a badge to the point that former prime minister actually stood at a press conference and said, "We are going to remove the furnace oil tax for Atlantic Canada only, but the rest of the country, we're still going to charge you because it's tough times in the Maritimes."
[4:47] Right? So what I want to talk to you about today is, it's a scarcity mindset that we sit into in the world, or is it a kingdom mindset of abundance? Because that's where God's got us at, and He tells us about the way we should look at the world. It says, "Do not love the world." It says this in 1 John 2. "Do not love the world for anything in the world." Or anything in the world. "If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For everything in the world, the cravings of sinful man, the lust of his eyes, and the boasting of what he has and does, comes not from the Father but from the world. The world and its desires pass away, but the man who does the will of God will live forever." That is why we want to be set apart. We don't want any confusion.
[5:38] We don't want people coming into Tidal Church and going, "Oh, that kind of looks like what's going on outside." No! We want to be set apart. When they come in, they go, "This is different. This is different. This is what I feel like I've been missing. This is what..." They may not even say God calling, but, "This is what's drawing me, is this." Not tough times in the Maritimes. It's a great place to live. It's a great environment. It's great relationships. It's great churches. It's great community. Tough times in the Maritimes. We were made for more. God tells us that we were made for more. We're not made for settling in. We're not to be of this world. And so we chase after kingdom mindset.
[6:28] And it tells us in Romans 12:2, "Do not conform any longer to the patterns of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind." Paul is telling us that this is not about surface behaviors. This is not about cultural trends. This is not about what's cool, what makes you popular. He's talking about a mindset. He's talking about a way of thinking. He's talking about what shapes ourselves, the way we think about the world, the way we think about other people, the way we think about God, the way we think about ourselves. The world wants to define all that for us. But with a kingdom mindset, God defines that for us. We're not to be the patterns of this world. The world has one dominant pattern, has one dominant word, and that's scarcity.
[7:19] It's a scarcity mentality that exists, and we think like, "There isn't enough," or, "I don't have enough." Or ultimately what happens is that leads us down a road where we go, "I don't think I'm enough. I don't like who I am." Scarcity is real in the world. Don't let me kid you. But when it becomes a mindset of how we function, how we process through, when we see economical things get limited, then price goes up. That's the scarcity that's created by economy. But when we take that economy process and make it our mindset of how we think through things, and we begin to think of scarcity from that perception, it increases our fear. It increases our anxiety. And it's really dangerous to move it from an economic standpoint to a mindset, because then you go, "I don't have enough. I need to get more. I'm behind.
[8:14] Oh, maybe I'm just not good enough." You see how it all circles back to that? Just think about it. Right now in the world, we all know what's happening in the news, and we see oil. Oil's being jammed up in the strait. But you know what? We're the fourth largest producing company of oil in the world. But because of the way that the world designs it on a global market, that it creates this scarcity that's an economic thing, that's a world mindset. It's not kingdom mindset. Or dare I go back to the dark ages called COVID and toilet paper. Right? When you think about even a bottle of water. I've been to sporting events, and they'll charge $4, $5, $6 for a bottle of water and create this scarcity mentality that we drop like five bucks for a bottle of water. Five bucks can buy you two cases in some places, and two-thirds of the world is covered by water.
[9:11] So we get this false scarcity that's created, and we get into this mindset of scarcity versus a kingdom mindset of abundance. We begin to believe, "I have to protect what I have. I have to provide for myself. I got to secure my future. I don't want to give too much away. Someone's going to get more than I've got, then I'll have less. I've got to beat them." This is the pattern Paul is talking about, the pattern of the world. It's a mindset. It's a mindset of scarcity versus a kingdom mind of abundance. Genesis 3:1 is the first lie of scarcity that we see. Adam and Eve have everything. They're in the Garden of Eden. They have a relationship with God, the Creator. They're at one with Him.
[9:59] They have warmth. They have this garden that's just filled with everything they need. The love, the care, everything. And then the serpent comes in. Notice his strategy. Initially, he doesn't talk about anything they have or try to take anything away from them. He creates a lie, and he says, "Did God really say that?" And all of a sudden, Adam and Eve begin to evaluate not what they have, kingdom mindset, but they begin to doubt, and they begin to think this earthly mindset of, "What is it I don't have?" And they begin to think about everything that possibly God could be holding from them.
[10:52] And what happens is, that's a deeper issue. That's not about a fruit and a tree and what's in the garden. That's a distrust. The enemy just breathed a lie of distrust into them between them and God. And then all of a sudden, that same lie has moved forward even into today. And we think about, "Oh, we need more," or "You're missing something," or "You're behind," or "God hasn't yet supplied me with enough." That you begin to think that you're your own supplier and to keep up for everything that you need. Eventually, the lie truly does become, and you begin to think that you are not enough. But let me tell you this morning, you are made for more.
[11:39] That this is a lie. That this earthly thinking, this earthly mindset is not kingdom mindset. The Scripture tells us a different foundation that we're built on as followers of Christ, that God is good, God is generous, and God is my source. And Jesus, with His first miracle, steps into this space where this lie was at the wedding. Remember in John 2, when they ran out of wine? And it says this: "Standing nearby were six stone water jars used for Jewish ceremonial washing. Each one could hold about 20 to 30 gallons. Jesus told the servants, 'Fill the jars with water.' When the jars had been filled, He said, 'Now dip out some and take it to the master of ceremonies.' So the servants followed His instructions.
[12:29] When the master of ceremonies tasted the water that was now wine, not knowing where it had come from, though, of course, the servants knew, he called the bridegroom over. And he says, 'A host always serves the best wine first,' he said, 'and then when everyone has had a lot to drink, he brings out the less expensive wine. But you've kept the best till now.'" These stone jars, just so you know, it says in the Scripture, ceremonial cleansing, the Jewish ceremony. Before they came in, they would wash ceremonially to wash anything off that may keep them from experiencing the cleanliness of what's happening in the wedding. This is the jars that they made the wine out of.
[13:14] And they're stone because they believe that by washing, whatever impurities came off of them couldn't be absorbed by the stone, versus clay would be absorbed because clay is porous. So Jesus doesn't go pick the new things. He's like, "No, pick the things everybody's been washing in. Just top them up with water." He is a God of abundance. Jesus just shows us it's not scarcity. He takes these jars, and He turns this water they've been washing in, fills them up, and it's got the best wine ever. It's like if you measured it out in today's terms, it's like 900 bottles of wine. See, when God moves, He doesn't move in scarcity. He doesn't even move in just enough. He moves in abundance. He just shows a kingdom mindset is a kingdom of abundance.
[14:03] And it wasn't like, "Oh, that's all right" wine. Because the person who was hosting had always served the best stuff they thought. But what Jesus made was the best stuff. The world says we're running out. When we lean in with a kingdom mindset, Jesus says, "Fill the jars," because that's who He is. Jesus demonstrates a kingdom abundance isn't merely about surviving. It's about trusting God and that He will provide along the way, experiencing the very best. Well, what about in Matthew 14, the loaves and the fishes?
[14:48] And it says, "That evening the disciples came to Him and said, 'This is a remote place, and it's already getting late. Send the crowds away so they go to the villages and buy food for themselves.' But Jesus said, 'That isn't necessary. You feed them.' 'But we have only five loaves of bread and two fish,' they answered. 'Bring them here,' He said. Then He told the people to sit down on the grass, and Jesus took five loaves and two fish and looked up towards heaven and blessed them. Then breaking the loaves into pieces, He gave the bread to the disciples, who distributed it to the people. They all ate as much as they wanted. And afterwards, the disciples picked up 12 baskets of leftovers. About 5,000 men were fed that day, in addition to all the women and children."
[15:33] Thousands were hungry. Think about it. It's a scarcity mindset, like, "Send them away. Send them away. Let them go figure it out." And Jesus goes, "No, bring it to Me." It's an earthly mindset to a kingdom mindset. And think about it. It says they ate as much as they wanted. Now, come on, if we're all having confession, Thanksgiving's coming, we're all going to eat as much as we want, and it's going to hurt, right, when you're sitting down after. And this is what I picture. And then, again, kingdom mindset. He's not just filling the need. It's abundance. 12 baskets left over. I don't know about you, but my fridge is not going to hold 12 baskets of food leftovers, right? He just shows what a kingdom mindset has versus an earthly mindset. The disciples thought, "We don't have enough.
[16:29] Send them away." Jesus says, "Bring it to Me." In His hands, He asks God to bless it. The question isn't always, do I have enough? The better question is, what can Jesus do with what I have? What is inefficient in our own hands is abundant in the hands of Jesus. That's where we have to rest in. Your resources, your time, your finances, your influence, the relationships you have. If you try to manage those with an earthly mindset, they're never going to be what they can be if you give them over to kingdom mindset and say, "God, I'm putting this in Your hands." This you might think is unique to feeding of the 5,000.
[17:15] But what about Luke 5 with the empty nets? How often do we experience something like that? And it says, "When He was finished speaking, He said to Simon, 'Now go out where it's deeper and let your nets down to catch fish.' 'Master,' Simon replied, 'we worked hard all last night and didn't catch a thing. But if You say so, I will let the nets down again.' And this time their nets were so full they began to tear and break." How often have we been in that situation where we feel the prompting of the Holy Spirit just saying to us, "I want you to do this"? There's been days, I know, there's been days for me where you come in at the end of the day, you're like, "Oh, man, I ain't got another thing left. I'm spent."
[18:02] All of a sudden, the Holy Spirit prompts you to call, to go, to give, to do, to serve. And you go, "I've already tried sharing about Jesus four times a day, and nobody said anything or accepted Him." But then He says, "Go and put your net down here." I like Simon because Simon's my man. He goes, "Yes." That was the question, right? And he goes out. And again, it's not just enough, but it's an abundance. It's an abundance. The kingdom doesn't begin with what I have. It begins with who you have. That's where it is. Not what you have, but who you have. Jesus confronts the ultimate scarcity.
[18:49] We think a lot of times on Earth, the scarcity that we're all chasing is money. That's not the number one scarcity in the world today that we're chasing. What we're chasing for the number one scarcity is time. It's time. But Jesus kind of meets this, and it's just crazy how it happens because, for us, we're chasing money, and so we work, we earn, we build, we save, we retire, we vacation, we die. Rinse and repeat, except for the die part. Right? And I'm not saying there's anything wrong with saving up. I'm not saying there's anything wrong with vacation. I'm not saying there's anything wrong with retirement. Don't hear that. But if you've got a kingdom mindset over an earthly mindset, it's different. And Jesus confronts this scarcity, and we read about it in John 11 because He's been away, and Lazarus has passed. He's dead. He's in the tomb.
[19:45] He's dead. And Jesus shows up and He goes, "Lazarus, come forth." And out he walks. Not only did He break the scarcity of time by showing that life, time, and death have no control when you think of the kingdom mindset, very soon, later on, Jesus went to the cross. He gave His own life for us, and He went to the grave, and He defeated death, and He defeated the time scarcity, and He defeated the way we think earthly. Because the moment that you say yes to Jesus as your Lord and Savior, from that moment on, you are living eternal life because you're not going to die. You may die physically, earthly thinking, earthly mindset, or you can think kingdom mindset and go, "Man, I got all the time in the world."
[20:39] Because too much of us because of this time and money thing are chasing, "I got to do this by then. I got to have this by then. I got to do this. I got to go there. I got to be..." And we just limit ourselves and say, "God, I'm Yours. Help me have a kingdom mindset." Not simply, how can I make more money with my time? But how can I use the time that I have for an eternal impact? So we have to ask, who can I reach? Who can I disciple? Who can I encourage? Who can I serve? How can I build something that outlasts me? How can I make something that's kingdom-minded that will be eternal? Because if I think eternally with a kingdom mindset, then kingdom is the resource.
[21:30] If I think with an earthly mindset, it becomes a commodity. See, we live when we accept Him as our Lord and Savior in a different kingdom. And therefore, because we live in a different kingdom, we live with a different currency. It's not the currency of this world. We are in this world, but we belong to another kingdom. So we shouldn't expect, as we go through our days, that the value system of the currency that is within this world is the one we're chasing. Because the world will tell you it's about money, possession, status, power, influence, popularity, security, comfort, retirement, all those things. But kingdom assets look entirely different.
[22:16] They're faith, love, grace, joy, peace, wisdom, generosity, relationships, spiritual fruit, sharing the journey of discipleship together for eternal impact. The Christian life isn't us trying to get more, to become. It is us, me, connecting to Jesus. That is what we're called to do. His grace, His Spirit, His strength, His wisdom, His presence, His promises. Because Jesus is enough. When we move from that earthly mindset from scarcity into a kingdom mindset of abundance, Jesus is enough. Jesus is the One we lean into. So the question I have amongst all the other questions today is, are you a consumer or are you a conduit?
[23:16] Because those are two different things based on your mindset. When it comes to spiritual maturity, a child may ask, "What do I get?" Whereas a mature follower says, "What can flow through me? What can God flow through me?" God describes the Holy Spirit as a river, and a river is meant to flow through. When it goes down through land, it flows through and it keeps going and nourishing all the things along the way. And He says that we should have the Holy Spirit like that, and our kingdom mindset should be like a river where it flows through. So we're a conduit. We're not a consumer. We're a conduit. We think of God, me, and others. What does God have that He wants to bless me with that I want to share so that others know about Him?
[24:03] That's what a conduit is. A consumer, it stops at me. What can flow through us? Forgiveness, encouragement, wisdom, generosity, grace, love. Hope isn't simply to accumulate more. I hope I get more. I hope I have this. Hope, when it's kingdom mindset, it receives and it stewards what God gives to them. For us, what He blesses us with, if we're a conduit, we let it flow through in a generous way, practicing the kingdom mindset. This changes how we think about tithing and giving.
[24:52] This changes how we think about when it comes to being generous because it's really an act of your mindset. Do you have that earthly mindset of scarcity, or do we have that kingdom mindset of abundance, of the fish in the net, the loaves and the fish? Jesus has done so much. When we give, it says, "I trust You, God." It doesn't say anything else than I trust You and I want what You give to flow through me to other people. We don't have to control things. We don't have to hoard things. God provides, and He puts His hand on us, and we let it flow through for the kingdom's sake with a kingdom mindset.
[25:45] Philippians 4:19 says this, "And my God will meet all your needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus." See, giving, tithing, being generous is a muscle that needs to be exercised. I don't know about you, but you can probably look at me and tell I don't exercise a lot. I try, but there's times when I work on a project and I get down and I'm working on it, I get back up, I find muscles that I didn't even know I had in places that are sore the next day. And giving and tithing and being generous is a muscle that needs to be exercised. And even if you're a young person and you're in this room today and you just got an odd job thing and you get whatever financially, it's a muscle that needs to be exercised on a continuous basis.
[26:34] Because if you can't give $5 on $50 as you mature and God blesses and pours into you, why do you think you'll get to a point where you can give $500 on $5,000 when it comes to tithing? It's a muscle that needs to be exercised and grown with God's blessing and hand on it. It's not about the amount. I just threw amounts out there. It's not about the amount, it's the posture. It's your posture when God has told us what we should do. When He promises through the Holy Spirit, we read through His Scriptures, and what He tells us, it's our posture of obedience and trusting Him. We move from earthly patterns to kingdom patterns, from scarcity to trust, ownership to stewardship, from hoarding to being generous, from holding onto things to letting it flow through us.
[27:30] Hope is not something we hold onto to manipulate God into giving us more. Hope that we hold onto is to live in agreement with what God wants to do through us as a conduit. There is, however, in our world, counterfeit abundance, and we see it all the time. Part of it is us trying to be our own source for figuring things out. The counterfeit version of abundance is what humanity has created as if they are the source supplying the things that we need versus a kingdom abundance when we lean into that from a kingdom mindset.
[28:18] Think of Babel and Babylon and the golden calf as examples of when we try to take care of things ourselves versus trusting God. We can build it ourselves. We can create our own security. We can create our own future. We can be our own source. There's a lot of things that we put even today. But you know what? It creates a dependence on the wrong thing, because for me, my dependence is totally on God. I don't know how else to say it and how else to plainly say it or any other flowery way, but my dependence is totally on God. I want to be the conduit that He flows through. I want to have a kingdom mindset. Do I have that perfect every day? I'm not going to stand here and tell you yes.
[29:06] But I seek it and I want it every day. The counterfeit in the abundance can come in many forms. It can come in technology. It can come through AI. It can come through achievement, success. It can come through other people sharing things with you. It can even come through programs that other organizations develop in order to support when economic things are tough. And you know what all that does? It gives control to a body of people that then you become dependent on. Instead of first going, "God, help me have a kingdom mindset. Help me to seek after You in all things." What this counterfeit abundance is is creation trying to replace the Creator.
[29:58] Let me say that again. Any time we try to do it or expect programs or anything else to do it other than God, we are creation trying to replace the Creator, because kingdom mindset has us leaning to Him. It's not simply what do I have, it's who is my source. What kingdom abundance really means is not simply money. It's not possessions. It's not a bigger house or a better car or a larger bank account. That's all too small. At least for the God I serve, that's all too small. Kingdom abundance is an overflowing of grace, love, wisdom, generosity, the opportunities to step into relationships, to disciple people.
[30:49] It's eternal impact is what we're doing. We don't measure abundance simply by what we accumulate. We measure abundance, kingdom abundance, by what God flows through us that we do for kingdom's sake. That's kingdom abundance. There's two mindsets that I've shared with you today, scarcity and kingdom. Scarcity would say there isn't enough. Kingdom would say, "Bring me what you have." Scarcity would say, "I'm not enough." Kingdom would say, "Jesus is enough." Scarcity would say, "God is withholding." Kingdom says, "God is my source." Scarcity would say, "Hold onto it all." Kingdom says, "Let it flow through me." Scarcity would say that what we have, we get to keep. Kingdom says, "I'm going to release whatever I can." See, for me, I think about where I live, and I came to this mindset. I have a home and all of you have a home. Our homes are defined a little different.
[32:03] Maybe you have a home and I got a family of four, so my home. Gisèle and I have a home. The house that my home is in is God's. He just let me use the house to put my home in. Maybe it's an apartment. Maybe it's a room you're renting. Your home is who you are and the kingdom mindset that God's placed in you. That's your home. The structure or room or whatever you put it in, that's His to give to you, to bless with you, to flow through. See, what we need is a renewing of our minds. It's a renewing of our minds. It's earthly mindset from scarcity to kingdom mindset of abundance.
[32:52] And that brings us all the way back to Romans 12:2. "Do not conform any longer to the patterns of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your minds." The battle isn't simply what we do. It's about what we believe, is what we know God to be. And so we have to ask ourselves, are we agreeing with the scarcity mindset of the world? Do we find ourselves saying, "I don't have enough. I'm not enough." We're trying to be our own source to figure it out. Because that leads to a scary spot where we begin to evaluate ourselves that we're not enough, and we are made in the likeness, and we are made for more.
[33:42] But today, we can choose a renewing of our minds. Today, we can choose to be different. Today, we can choose that starting from here, the mindset that I will have other than the world will be a kingdom mindset of abundance. I will not live in fear. I'll live in faith. I will not have a scarcity viewpoint. I will have a kingdom abundance viewpoint. I'll steward what God gives me. I'll bless others. I'll give, I'll release, I'll bless, I'll let it flow. Because I don't want God's blessings to stop with me, and you shouldn't want them to stop with you either. We want them to flow through to the kingdom work that He's calling us to.
[34:32] Jesus is our source, and God is not withholding from you. He just wants you to change from the patterns of the world. I don't have to become my own provider. I don't have to live afraid or I don't have enough because I belong to another kingdom, and that kingdom has a different currency than the world that I live in right now. And Jesus defeated the scarcity of time, and He gives us, in our Scripture, we read the truth that comes from Matthew, chapter 6.
[35:21] It tells us to not worry. It says, "Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, or what you will eat or drink, or about your body, or what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes? Look at the birds of the air: they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to your life?" By worrying. Earthly mindset, kingdom mindset. "And why do you worry about clothes? See how the lilies of the field grow.
[36:06] They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in his splendor was dressed like one of these. If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today, and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will He not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? So do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble on its own."
[37:01] Earthly mindset of scarcity versus a kingdom mindset of abundance. You've just got to ask yourself which one you're in. Because the King that I serve is a King of abundance. And whatever He blesses me with, you with, I want you to live in the full blessing and full grace of letting it flow through you as a conduit. Let's pray. Father, I thank You for Your love. I thank You that You just don't show us that You answer prayer or take situations where there's lacking or less of and just take care of it. You're abundant. There's an abundance. There's 12 baskets. There's 900 bottles of wine.
[37:48] There's just eternity for life to live in time. Help us not to live in a life where we're the creation trying to replace the Creator. So Father, know that for us, that we know Hope Is Rising and that the King of Kings and Lord of Lords is where our hope sits. It's in Jesus' name we pray. Amen.
