10: Part 1

Harvest messages are brought to you by harvest partners to receive free email daily devotions or to become a harvest partners, please visit us online@harvest.org all right will were in our series that we call water Firestone and we looked at the water when baby Moses was in his little basket floating into the will of God. And then we looked at the fire God spoke to them at the burning bush. Now we come to the stone will get a look at the message of God written on tablets of stone. The title of my message is simply 10 the number 10 10 and were in Exodus chapter 20 it a lot a lot of us like top 10 lists right like of the top movies are the top songs I I was looking online.

Just wondering what the top 10 songs of all time were, according to different people. A lot of difference of opinion on this topic.

Of course, but according to Rolling Stone magazine. These are the top 10 songs of all time. I don't really even agree with the list, but it's interesting. Number 10 Ray Charles what I'd say number nine Nirvana smells like teen Spirit number eight, the Beatles, he June number seven Johnny be good by Chuck Berry number six good vibrations by the Beach boys number five Aretha Franklin Re: SPECT right respect, Martin J comes in the number four with what's going on John Lennon at number three with imagine and the Rolling Stones number two with satisfaction and the number one song of all time.

According to Rolling Stone magazine is a key Breaky heart by Billy Raisa know that that's actually on the worst songs all timeless. I know according to Rolling Stone magazine.

The number one song is like a Rolling Stone by Bob Dylan. Good song idle to get the greatest song of all time, but a good one, but other LaSalle Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen and Hotel California by the Eagles on the top 10 list as well.

But then there's a list of the top 10 worst songs. According to blender magazine on the list as we built this city by starship ever that song it deserves to be in this list by a key Breaky heart by Billy Ray Cyrus is on this list not know why this one made it on the worst I mean I don't love it, but only is the word sounds the heart of rock 'n' roll by QE Lewis and the news is it's one of the worst. Don't worry, be happy by Eddie Murphy made it part of no excuse me party all the time by Eddie Murphy made it in the other one. Don't worry, be happy by Bobby McFerrin. I agree that I don't like that song ebony and ivory is thought of as one of the worst songs ever done by Paul McCartney and that Stevie wonder and also surprisingly guess what song made in on the worst songs of all time list. It's a small world from Disneyland.

I mean, I liked it the first time I heard it, but I've diverted so many times he gets on your nerves in my Karen. I was on the list as well. So there you okay so God is a top 10 list.

This is not reached by consensus.

Nobody gets to vote on this.

It doesn't change written by the finger of God and tablets of stone's top 10 list is known as the 10 Commandments, barely 300 words long, in English, the 10 Commandments, form the foundation of our legal system and the foundation of Western civilization. You know it's been said that humans have written 32,000,647, 389 laws and they still haven't improved on the 10 Commandments. Abraham Lincoln said of the 10 Commandments quote for the 10 Commandments we would know right from wrong." For a trip of Theodore Roosevelt put it this way, quote no man is a good citizen unless he acts so as to show he actually uses the 10 Commandments." Now we agree that there are important so let me take a quick poll.

How many of you know the 10 Commandments by heart, raise your hand, not so many that worry is that we know their valuable we know their sent from heaven. Why were we taking the time to memorize them.

A recent survey found that 14% of Americans only 14% of Americans could name the 10 Commandments. By comparison, 1/4 of Americans can name the seven ingredients in a big back howitzer that here's another interesting stat, nearly 1/4 can name all three stooges and one in three can name all six kids from the Brady Bunch. Is there anyone here get to could name all six kids from the Brady, but that's amazing to me.

So basically what we're saying is I know that the big Mac as to all beef patties, but I don't know that thou shall not murder also huts deal with what's going on your reasonable Greek it's hard to memorize something while sorting, which is the first four commandments. While I don't know if I can memorize that okay tell me the names of the Beatles John Paul George Ringo Whitey West will you commit myself like that you can memorize these commandments actually you can and we should why it's from these commandments given to us in the pages of Scripture that we know right from wrong there.

The grid that we live by there the basis of all morality lists in the 10 Commandments are not obsolete.

They are absolutes and repeat that they're not obsolete.

Their absolute, but not everybody agrees that that a contest was launched by some ETS to rewrite the 10 Commandments for today.

They call them the non-commandments contest two 2800 submissions and it was decided by 13 judges and there was not a single thou shall not among them that commenting on this, there was an article on the CNN website. That said, quote if the led faith in the divine, atheist, non-commandments display of robust faith in mankind as if Silicon Valley had replaced Sinai" and so here's some of the choices I atheist for their so-called non-commandments number one be open-minded and be willing to alter your beliefs with new evidence.

Number two God is not necessary to be a good person or to live a full and meaningful life. Three. There is no 1 Right Way to live for every person is a right to control their own body. Five. Leave the world a better place than when you found it interesting. Ms. Kevin DeYoung points on this book. In the 10 Commandments.

How can you leave the planet a better place then you found it an exercise control over your body. If there is really no one right way to live.

If these are reaction nor a counterpoint to the truth of the 10 Commandments you up to start somewhere. We can say will will reach it by consensus. In fact the people to put this together, said that they wanted to keep this open ended because they believe quote and the wisdom of the crowds." You can go online to weed this out. The wisdom of the crowds online are you kidding me are you on twitter. I'm looking for the wisdom of the crowds out there.

Here's an example and held the crowd to get it wrong. The British government wanted to name a brand-new $287 million polar research vessel so they open it up to the wisdom of the crowd, so to speak. Online and they suggested names for this new craft like Shackleton, named after the famous explorer or perhaps endeavor or falcon, but everyone got together the People's runaway choice on the Internet for this $287 million polar research vessel. Are you ready for it bodhi but boldface I'm not making this up bodhi, but both one of the dumbest things I've ever heard. So the folks overruled to give it another name altogether. So this just reminds us that we don't arrive at truth by voting on it. God is given this is truth from his own hand written by his own finger backdate man Solomon the king of Israel, the son of David went on a binge sending against the Lord, breaking every commandment left and right, and he lived a miserable empty life.

He chased after sexual pleasure chased after drunkenness, material possessions, everything one could want. He experienced in. Here's his conclusion at the end of the book of Ecclesiastes. He said here's the end of the matter.

After all, is been heard feared God and keep his commandments, for that is the whole of man, that is to say that if a man or a woman keeps God's commandments.

They are a whole man or a whole woman.

Solomon is saying if you violate these things. Your life will be out of balance.

Okay, so let's look now at these commandments together down here in Exodus chapter 20 was pickup when we last left off Moses is led the Israelites out of the bondage of Egypt there in the wilderness the Lord is feeding them was supernatural bread from heaven called Manna he's guiding them by his supernatural GPS system of a fire by night in a cloud by day the people are thirsty.

So Moses is directed by God to strike the rock with his staff, and water comes out.

Now the Lord summons Moses to mount Sinai and he says I want you to go there and I'm going to speak to you. So Moses goes alone to this mountain to me with God, and there the Lord gives to Moses. These 10 Commandments from heaven. Exodus 20 starting in verse two commandment number one I am the Lord your God who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage shall have no other gods before me. That's commandment number one no other gods before him.

Commandment number two you shall not make for yourself a carved image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above earth beneath or in the water under the earth, nor shall you bow down and serve them fry the Lord your God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children of the third and fourth generations of those who hate me, showing mercy to thousands, to those who love me and keep my commandments out commandment number three no carved image that you bow down before commandment number three Exodus 20 verse seven.

Don't take the name of the Lord in vain. Commandment number four versus 8 to 9. Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy, nominal commandment number five verse 12 honor your father and mother are commandment number six you shall not murder. Commandment number seven verse 14 you shall not commit adultery commandment number eight you shall not steal. Verse 15 commandment number nine verse 16 you shall not bear false witness against your neighbor. Of the word.

You shall not lie.

And finally, commandment number 10 verse 17 you shall not covet your neighbor's house or his wife Rose male servant or female servant, nor his ox, or his donkey, nor anything that is your neighbors there.

It is the 10 Commandments. Sometimes it's hard to understand them. I mentioned that we have our church over on Maui and I spoke to her last Sunday we had over a thousand people attend our two services. That's a lot of people. For that little island. It's actually the largest church on the island and we saw some 50 people make professions of faith to follow Jesus Christ know that's worked out before his lips.

How many of you been to Hawaii.

Raise your hand up okay so if you've been there you know that there are people who are locals were born there in the other only interesting dialect that is described as pidgin English ever heard that pidgin English so someone came up with the pidgin English version of the 10 Commandments there. They are commandment number one on the Lord your God of the gods before me. Their version is God is not about why write number two don't have any other gods before him is make note that kind statues number three what Joe mount no swell. With God's name commandment number four on Sunday you could do not okay. I like that. Number five. Listen to your mother and your father for honor your father, mother, number six no Martin nobody Fort Nelson not kill. I like this one from Dowson not commit adultery. No go Momo with your brought as wahine. No go Momo with your brothers wahine what he needs their word for girl numerate for them so not steal a roach not okay with also not bear false witness, no Libra, no Libra volley number 10 nobody jealous one that a person stuffs so there you have it. The pidgin version of the 10 Commandments can sometimes people see the commandment says barriers put around our life even prison cell of a prison bars. If you will keeping us in what we can have fun and it's actually the very opposite that there to protect you. Years ago I went to my backyard. This is when I had my German Shepherd and he was staring intently at something in the grass and I leaned down and saw a brightly colored little bird to shaking away, terrified, knowing he was going to become an hors d'oeuvre for my dog and it looked like somebody's pet bird and so I I stooped down and ate put out my index finger and sure enough, this little bird harp upright my finger so I walked into the house and Kathy's making something in the kitchen cooking something up to Kathy look what I just found so we took the bird we threw it in the pan. We cooked it and no we didn't do that. So I said I wonder who this belongs doing my son Jonathan was little guy at that point said he there's a neighbor down the street that there bird just by the still of the cages to go get it. Hurry so you can back with EKG sit in on the counter. I opened up the door of the cage and the bird flew from my finger into the cage jumped on the purge was go back and forth and chirping away that bird was happy to be in that cage. Why because the bird did not see the cage as a prison keeping him in.

He sought as a barrier protection keeping my dog out. That's at the 10 Commandments are there for your protection. You know what is. I was a kid, I remember going to Disneyland and going of the art Topia rod member that is still there. Try the little cars only a little kid that's very exciting.

But you have these berries around you really can't go very far. Even if you hang a hard right or left you pretty much stay in the lane they put you in that of the 10 Commandments are there guardrails in life, but ultimately as we develop a relationship with God. They come naturally as the Bible says there written on the fleshly tablets of our heart. So there internalize, but they do give us absolutes to live by there like traffic laws.

Now maybe you don't always like traffic laws, but they're there for a reason to keep you alive by the way somebody came up with some Commandments for drivers and I thought they were pretty valid. Here's one, thou shall not go slow in the fast lane. Previous drivers are you listening previous drivers. Why maybe it's because the tires in a previous or the size of a little donut there so little. I don't know there's another one that also not text while driving to Goodwin and also not text while waiting for the light to change.

That's another there's another that also not go 30 miles over the speed limit thou are not a driver in the Indy 500 thou art a dangerous idiot like that.

That's is, are people that are like that. There's another thou shall not steal gates.

Thou shalt not pull in front of me and slow us down. One of you will do that here cruise along the come up can write a burning and soda like excuse me that all these other links so then I tailgate them see that now it's payback Dido traffic laws are there to protect us. Now here's an interesting think the order of the 10 Commandments is very important.

If we were to rearrange them.

I think some might say some are more important than others. Our recent article I read pointed out that in general people believe that certain Commandments are still really valid like Dowson, not murder of thou shall not steal Dowson not commit adultery. Everyone agrees those are bad things, but people are fudging a bit.

If you will on other commitments like well less people thought it was that big of a deal to take the Lord's name in vain and a very small percentage of people thought it was really that big of a thing to have another God before him.

However, when the Lord puts the commandments together at the top of the list is usual have no other gods before him, for the Lord. This is a number one offense. Jesus summed it up this way, you shall love the Lord your God with all of your heart, with all of your soul and with all of your mind and you shall love your neighbor as yourself, and then he said there are no other commitments greater things.

If you love God with all of your heart, soul and mind, and you love your neighbor as yourself.

The rest of the commandments will come naturally. The commitments are broken into two sections not five and five as we might assume.

But actually, for instance, the first four commitments have to do with our relationship with God.

The final six commitments have to do with the relationship with other people. So if I love God with all of my heart, soul and mind. I'm not getting have another God before him. I'm not going to bow down before a graven image, I'm not going to take his lord's name in vain and I'm in honor seven. If I really love my neighbor as I love myself.

I'm not going to show them I'm not going to steal from them. I'm not going to lie to them or covet what belongs to them. I think Augustine summed it up perfectly when he said love God and do as you please see my love God as they ought to love God. I will naturally want to do the things that please God. That's what he was really safe.

So let's focus on the first commandment.

That's all the time. We have is to do only one commandment in this message.

Commandment number one Exodus 20 verse three thou shall have no other gods before me in the giver ever broken that commandment. The survey revealed that 76% of all Americans consider themselves completely true to the first commandments so you think that's accurate. The most Americans are most of us have never broken the First Amendment.

I suggest you we broken up more than we may realize because everything starts with the place of God in your life because you will end up serving what you worship member would Jesus was tested by Satan in the wilderness. The Bible says that the devil showed him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time.

I'm not even sure how that played out, but we know that Satan the devil is described in the Bible is the God of this world, the prince of the power of the air who rules over the demon forces right now so in a sense, the devil said this. This is my stuff and it belongs to me. Interestingly, Christ did not dispute it.

I don't know, became a glimpse into the future. But whatever was the doublethink.

This is all my stuff in Jesus.

I know why you've come. You come to die on the cross and purchase back what was lost in the garden to be a minute. Thank you. The deal you cannot refuse that Godfather imitation alert settings as I'll give it to you.

You can have it on a silver platter. You don't have to dine across. You don't have to go through an event I'll give you what you come for here's my condition. He says I want you to worship me. Jesus says that also works of the Lord God and him only shall you serve. Wait, what the devil didn't see anything about service. He said just worship me momentarily. Worship me. But Jesus said only worship God because you will serve him. In other words he's saying you'll end up serving what you worship. See. So what is on the altar of your life is of the greatest importance, but here the Lord will give them the motive for keeping the commandments. The motive first to find the Lord your God who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. God does not start by threatening or scaring them. He starts by reminding them of what kind of God.

He was a loving, caring God who delivered them from bondage and misery.

You might say well that's great for them. They were slaves in Egypt will hate you were a slave to we all were to sin. On our way to help. But God loved us so much he sent his only begotten son to die on the cross for our sin. We turn from our sin believed in Jesus. Thus we have so much appreciation for all that the Lord has done.

Therefore, it should be our privilege and pleasure to see come to live a life that is pleasing to him, not because we have to, but because we get to see you don't obey the Bible because you have to, because think you will bear because you want to. And the reason you want to is because of all that God is done for you, you love him because he first loved you.

That's of the Bible says Jesus did not say keep my commandments. And I'll love you. He said if you love me you'll keep my commandments.

So before the Lord tells him what he wants them to do. He says hey check it out. What I did for you so this should be your way to respond. My love for him is a response to his love for me and Kathy and I as we mentioned, we been married for 46 years I have certain expectations of her. She is certain expectations of me. God's essay. He wants an exclusive relationship is I want to share you with other gods any more than your husband wants to share you with other men. How would it sounded wife says door husband honey I'm going out on a date now with Chad I don't know why pick Chad seem like the right name. Chad something sketchy about the name another kid. And you have all the Chad's rise up in anger against me. Is anyone here named Chad sorry to because I can tell you your great guy, your wife. There, keep your eye on Chad anyway I digress. But if the whites of him going on a date with Chad tonight honey on that.

I probably will be home tonight I'll see you in the morning.

That's crazy can have that you need. Faithfulness in the marriage on of the valves that you make in a marriage.

The Lord says I want the same thing because why I am a jealous God will gods a jealous God. Hello, someone's insecure.

I because not insecure. He says I've done this for you. I wanted exclusive relationship with you and I don't want to share you with anybody else look to want your spouse to be faithful to you is a reasonable thing in a way you're a jealous parent, you want the best for your child. The very word jealousy speaks of ownership. You know were connected, you're my child and God saying I'm your father and I want you to be faithful to me so don't have any other gods before me. What is it mean to have another God before him in a we think of an idol worshiper. Assuming someone bowing prostrate before some carved image together that would be an idol worshiper for sure that something only form of idolatry. The epistle of first John we read the words little children, keep yourself from idols. There's a lot of things that can become idols in your life. Listen to this. An idol is anyone or anything that takes the place of God in your life. Then repeat that an idol is anything or anyone to take the place of God in your life. So the question is who or what is your God. Everybody has a God, even an atheist has a God that say they don't but they do. Maybe there God is himself. Maybe there God is their atheism, but they have the deity they have someone or something they gobble for that is on the altar of their life. How do you determine who your God is okay question what you get excited about it would get you out of bed in the morning what you think about the most. What you dream about plan for perhaps scheme for what do you spend most of your money on what are you passionate about.

That is your God the most of us would sale the Lord is my God will good opiates, but sometimes we can put other things in his place inside do. We may get to we ultimately serve sometimes your God with a small gene to be something that's not necessarily bad, but it's out of its rightful place idols are not always evil out right.

Listen, the most dangerous idols are good things that are twisted, you can make an idol out of your family when you plug hello Noel, you can make your family more important than God.

We should focus on our family. Yes, we sure about the Lord has to be number one. The Lord's number one. Everything else falls into its proper place.

God's more important than even your marriage.

God is more important than your kids God's more important than anything God is more important in your career.

Sometimes he will make a career. The God of their life and yet she should work hard and do what you can, but God needs to be in the number one position.

Some people worship money or possessions. Their mantra is born to shop the of a bumper sticker on their car.

He who dies of the most toys wins in the probably tailgate people to another can be a certain adrenaline release. When you shop like a dopamine get you for the expression retail therapy or some truth to that. You can't you find it by natural excited. Many of us like writing you killed someone to get its right but you know you can go online you don't even have to go to the mall anymore and go to Amazon prime and in order it and maybe it says it'll arrived today. The other day I ordered something on Amazon was a little robot toy for Christmas for my grandson Christopher. I don't know what happened but I ordered eight of them and they just kept coming with these fonts is one of the value there it is again. Here it is again.

Here it is again. I obviously didn't do a very good job ordering so we return them. Thankfully they took him back but any other day I got a big Shia box. It was really heavy. Kathy says one of you ordered. Now we open it up. It was a massive bag of birdseed.

I thought it was little.

It was big things to go really wrong online. The thing with getting stuff is once you get it you just want more. The Bible says Hell and destruction are never full and so is the heart of man, never satisfied when Johnny Rockefeller was the richest man in the world. Someone asked him the question how much money is enough in his answer was just a little bit more. That is why the Bible warns us that the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil. While some of coveted after the pictures themselves through with many sorrows. A dozen same money is the root of all evil. So some incisional Bible says money is the root of all evil. That's not true. The Bible says the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil which while some have coveted after, they dared from the day it's not wrong to have stuff. It's wrong when stuff has you and there's a difference you see the Bible even says in first Timothy 617 God richly gives you what you need for your enjoyment. So it's great you know, if you say Lord, thank you for my home. Thank you for my vehicle.

Thank you for the clothes on my back in enjoy those things God is giving you.

But with those things in your life comes a responsibility to invest in the kingdom of God as well, but we can let these things get in the way of God, and sometimes only start experiencing success.

We begin to forget God. And suddenly we don't have time for church anymore. All you know I worked all week long that I needed day off. I want to just sit home and that I don't want to go to church away. The second who gave you the strength to work all day long. Who gave you the job that you go to God. Did he provided for you give me so you don't have time to open the word of God and to worship the Lord's great tragedy happen when we could go basketball legend Kobe Bryant tragically killed in a helicopter accident. You know were Kobe was in the morning before he boarded that helicopter he was a church with his daughter that that's a minute what his priorities in order.

So many things that can choke the word of God out in her life and again I emphasize they're not always bad things so sure their sinful things that can be booze or drugs or illicit pleasures.

Those can all become idols in your life, but it could be good things out of proportion. Jesus said it this way and what we call the parable of the sower member you talk about a sower that through his seed out and some seed fell and ground into began to grow, but it was choked out by weeds and he said in Matthew 1322 the seed sown among weeds represents a person who receives the message they receive the message but listen.

Life's busy distractions is divided heart and his ambition for well result in suffocating the kingdom message to prevent him from bearing spiritual fruit that you hear that life's busy distractions or something wrong with your career.

Nothing wrong with your schedule. Nothing wrong with all the things were engaged in each and every day, but don't let them become God in your life and push the true God out of your life.

As a result keep God in the number one position if you will put God first in your marriage if you will put God first in your finances if you will put God first in your singleness if you will put God first in your career. I promise you on the authority of Scripture.

Everything else will fall into its rightful place, put him first because Jesus said, first the kingdom of God right which means the rule and reign of Christ in your life. The kingdom of God. Seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness and all these things shall be added to you, what things what you're going to eat what you're going to wear what you're going to drink ready to go to school who you're going to marry everything you need in life. It'll all find its proper sometimes we let things take the place of God. Classic example is the rich young ruler of the sky hadn't made young man climbed his corporate ladder had a tricked out chariot was lowered extra big wheels had a latte cruises up to Jesus hating Jesus what must I do to inherit eternal life. You would think Jesus was that many are like such an awesome dude.

I want you on my team right now. You're good for my image commoditize got a bunch of fishermen that I need you. By the way can we use your chariot. Jesus is the very opposite.

He says okay tell you what this paraphrase buddy sell all that you have.

Take the money given to the poor, and follow me, and you have eternal life. I couldn't do it. He went away sorrowful, why did Jesus say that by the way, Jesus never said that to anybody else. I'll tell you what he said because Jesus being God to look right and that guys heart and he could see the most important thing the bag young men was a stop it's the stuff that he owned or maybe I should say his stuff that owned him and so Jesus was effectively saved, if you want to follow me. You got to get this out of the position that it's in right now and I need to be the Lord of your life. And this man couldn't do it. What's holding you back from Christ to somebody else. Jesus might say you need to terminate that relationship. That thing is killing you spiritually to another. You might say menu need to give up the advice of that thing you're doing. You can live that way anymore.

But listen when we come to the commandments of God hears and we quickly quickly discover I can live up to these commandments, I broken these commandments, and you broken these commandments in the Bible says if you offend in one point of the law, you're guilty of all of it while it wasn't on that. But here's the good news 2000 years ago God sent his son Jesus to die on the cross, and take the full penalty of our sin upon himself in the Bible even says he took the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which is a King James way of saying all the laws etc. center and he kneeled them to the cross. He did that for you because though the law, the commandments don't make me holy. They show me I'm not holding there like a moral mirror never look in a magnifying mirror that's alarming. This meant Ramon as a kid I'd like an old man and I noticed that when they see they miss patches like what's wrong with these people.

Now I have a magnifying mirror and I looked in and I say oh this a couple places did not see elegant gods mirror and I realize I fall short. But the good news is it's not there to make me feel miserable. Inserted drive me into the open arms of Jesus will forgive me of every sin I've committed.

Yes, Jesus died on the cross paid the price for our sin rose again from the dead know he stands at the door of our life and the nonsense is a bold hear his voice and open the door he will come in and I want to ask you. In closing, have you asked Jesus to come into your life on this Super Bowl Sunday. This Groundhog Day on Greg and Kathy's anniversary have you done that yet.

I seriously doubt that Toby Bryant and his daughter in all the folks aborted that helicopter had any idea that was our last day, and most people don't know and that these coming, what if it were your last day today tonight tomorrow if you're a Christian, you don't have to live in fear of death doesn't mean you look forward to it, but it means you're ready in means you're prepared prepared to meet your God, and I ask you that right now. Are you prepared to meet God because heaven is a prepared place for prepared people told to destroy before about tombstone and somebody was walking through this graveyard and they saw the writing on the tombstone which had these works pause no stranger as you pass by as you are now also once was. I is I am now so you shall be so prepare for death and follow me, someone reading that tombstone was overheard to say to follow you is not my intent until I know which way you went right. Are you prepared for eternity. So how do you prepare you admit to God you're a sinner and you invite Christ into your life will forgive you of your sins and the commitment you broken and he'll start changing from the inside out. If you haven't done that yet you can do it right here, right now he's just a prayer away the moment. We can pray together. I'm going to extend an invitation to you, wherever you are. Everyone in this room.

Everyone at every harvest campus even you guys watching online, we have a large online audience watching the snow as well. Wherever you are. This is for you. This is your moment to get right with God and asked Jesus to come into your life if you need to do this, do it now, don't put it off. This is your day, the day of salvation. Let's pray father I pray now for every person here every person watching and listening wherever they may be. If they don't know Jesus yet. Let this be their moment of decision. Their moment where they pass from darkness to light the moment where they pass from unbelief to belief help the Lord to see their need for you help them to come to you now. We ask in Jesus name know a heads up Gardner eyes are closed and were praying together. Maybe there's someone here today that would say Greg, I need Jesus.

I don't know if I'd go to heaven if I were to die the day but I want to know. I want Jesus to come in the my life and be my Savior and Lord Ike I want my sins forgiven.
