Genesis 26:1-5
Automated transcript. Not reviewed for accuracy.

And we ask now that as we come to you to hear the word, that you prepare our hearts, that you give us ears to hear that we might receive what you have for us this morning. Bless the preaching of your word. It's in your name we pray. Amen. The book of Genesis, chapter 26, verses 1 through 5. Now there was a famine in the land, besides the former famine that was in the days of Abraham.

And Isaac went to Gerar, to Abimelech, king of the Philistines. And the Lord appeared to him and said, Do not go down to Egypt. Dwell in the land of which I shall tell you. Sojourn in this land, and I will be with you and will bless you. For to you and to your offspring I will give all these lands, and I will establish the oath that I swore to Abraham your father.

I will multiply your offspring as the stars of heaven, and will give to your offspring all these lands. And in your offspring all the nations of the earth shall be blessed. Because Abraham obeyed my voice and kept my charge, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws. This is the word of the Lord. I'm a man, I'm a man, I'm a man, I'm a man, I'm a man, I'm a man, I'm a man, I'm a man, I'm a man, I'm a man, I'm a man, I'm a man, I'm a man, I'm a man, I'm a man, I'm a man, I'm a man, I'm a man, I'm a man, I'm a man, I'm a man, I'm a man, I'm a man, I'm a man, I'm a man, I'm a man, I'm a man, I'm a man, I'm a man, I'm a man, I'm a man, I'm a man, I'm a man, I'm a man, I'm a man, I'm a man, I'm a man, I'm a man, I'm a man, I'm a man, I'm a man, I'm a man, I'm a man, I'm a man, I Good, it's good.

Men's conference is awesome. There we go, we there? Let's go, all right. Hey, wow. What is going on at this church is amazing. The kids raising up. How old is our newest worship leader? Nine, let's go, you know what I mean? And then also our, you know, what happened at the camp was amazing. So good to see God raising up the next generation. The next generation is being raised up in this church.

And I hope you as adults are excited about that. Thank you for all you that invested in it. It's just amazing. We're continuing to do that. So God is on the move. And then also we have about 40 guys right now up in the men's retreat up in Big Bear, which is awesome. And Nick Davis and the team did a great job. So I thought I'd represent with my new flannel.

So go to men's conference, you can get a cool flannel with that. If you have your Bibles, open up to Genesis 26. We are back. We were supposed to be here three weeks ago, but we moved into a three-week series on healing. And there's a whole bunch of books in the bookstore that I've recommended. But if you haven't heard that, go back, listen to those.

And then also, if you've not been in the book of Genesis recently, I want to encourage you. I can't do the entire backstory because we're in season five of this. You can go back and watch all those on YouTube. But also, starting with Genesis 11 is the story of Abraham. And we are following the story of Abraham. We've ended with Abraham. And we've moved on to Isaac.

And now Isaac has two sons. And so as you read through that, I want to encourage you, we're going to be here for about six until Easter. And so six to eight weeks. And so go check that out and follow up and get caught up on that. You're going to see in verse one, we're going to start in verse one. And this is God's family and God's promise to a family, right?

God is working out salvation through one individual and a family. And he creates promise in the midst of that. So go to verse one if you have it. I know we saw it before, but read it again. Now there was a famine in the land besides the former famine that was in the days of Abraham. And Isaac went to Gerar, to Ambilic, king of the Philistines. And the Lord appeared to him and said, Do not, underline do not, go down to Egypt.

Dwell, circle dwell, in the land of which I shall tell you. Now you are going to recognize that because that's what he said, similar, very similar to Abraham earlier in the story. So I'm going to send you somewhere. And Abraham's like, where? He says, you're going to go to the land I'm going to tell you about. He's like, but where? Well, when you get there, you'll know.

That's very God, right? Is that so God? You're living in the faith and believing for the favor, right? And so we're following this story. Abraham has been there and he has his son Isaac. And we know that that was some of the obstacles to that promise. Maybe you relate to feeling like God has given you some promises, but there's been some obstacles to the promise.

Something that is used to forge who you are. And I have never experienced a deep promise of God without some obstacles along the way. Because God uses our promises often to create character within us, to make us more like him and more like his son. What you see in here is this, the major obstacle in this passage is a famine. Now there's a whole bunch of different obstacles.

There's enemies. There are relational things within the family. We know that. There's all this drama. These are some of the most dysfunctional families you will ever see. You know, you could watch a whole bunch of reality TV and you will never find anything like these families. And in the midst of it, God is there continuing to offer the promise, continuing to provide the provision, and they continue to find favor in the midst of all that.

So here is the kind of the big idea. Before I give you that, I wrote the weight of the promise is often filled with the obstacles. Here we have a famine. And the big idea for Isaac now is this, that strength and maturity, he's being strengthened, he's being forged, and maturity come from staying where God has placed us. Now, there are times, as we'll see in a moment, where God's like, get out of there, flee, right?

And we see that and we'll look into that. And obviously this idea of Egypt, Abraham fled to Egypt. We're gonna see Jesus fled to Egypt. It's a place. But God says to Isaac, I want you to stay here. Now, Isaac is in the promised land. He hasn't gathered it yet. It has not been given to the family. But God has promised it to him. There's a famine, similar to his father, and God tells him to stay.

And there's a big question here. And this question I think we're all gonna relate to is this. How do we remain faithful during seasons of famine? How do we remain faithful to God during seasons of famine, during seasons of fallow? There is no following God without seasons of famine and without seasons of fallow. The people who preach the gospel and say that you were always moving into prosperity, you were always moving into goodness, you were always moving into the richness of God providing different things, and that's true in Christ.

We can find those riches in the midst of any famine. But that is a bunk and false gospel because Jesus himself went to the cross in order that he might have the riches of being reunited to us. And so I just want to say, if you're in a season of famine, it could be extended. If you're in a season of famine, if you are in a season of fallow, that is normative to Christian spirituality.

It is normative. And the way we get out of famine is by living faithfully in the midst of it. And so how do we live in famine? How do we not find those escape routes? We're gonna look at Egypt as a major metaphor as an escape route, an exit door, a safety latch that you can run to when God has specifically told you to stay. That's the first one. The key word, I have a key word, if you want to go to verse three.

Key word from the, this is from the English Standard Version. If you have a different version, I might use a different word. But the key word is sojourn. It's a fun word to say, right? Sojourn. It makes me feel, you know, very international. Sojourn, you know. Sojourn in this land, and I will be with you, and I will bless you. That's a huge promise. Stay here in the famine.

Right? That's powerful. Stay here in the famine. I'm gonna be with you, and I'm gonna bless you. So if you were looking at all the famine and the fallow of your life from the eyes of the world or from the perspective of the enemy, who he's gonna lie to you during your famine and during your fallow. He's gonna come to tell you you have no purpose, you have no place, you have no provision, you have no future, you have no prosperity, you have nothing in front of you.

He's gonna lie to you constantly. The Bible is different. David understood this. It's very clear in the word. So sojourn. Here's what sojourn means. It means to stay somewhere temporarily. To live in the place as a traveler, as a foreigner, as a resident without a permanent settlement. Now we see that this land, we know that this land is gonna be given to Isaac and his descendants.

It's gonna be given to his son Jacob. Jacob's name is changed to Israel. So Abraham was the first. They weren't Jews yet. They don't really become Jews until Jacob calls them Israel. But the promise was given to Abraham. Abraham was just out there wandering until God picked him one day. And said, you're gonna be my people. I'm gonna start my people with you.

And he gave him a promise. Isaac now is in the midst of the promise. He's living, he can see the promise, but he doesn't own the promise. He can see the promise, but there's fallow and there's famine in the midst of it. And the question is, what do you do when there's famine and fallow in how you live? It's super powerful. It spoke to me this week. That key word is sojourn.

And so God was telling him, even though you're in this place that I've promised you, you're still a resident alien. You're still a migrant in this place that I have called you to, but I am going to bless you in the midst of it. And one day this place of famine, this place of fallow, will become your promise. And so that's a powerful perspective. How do you view the places of fallow and famine in your life?

How you see those places and how you interact with them, how you get rhythm to live within those is so powerful. We see that here. The word for sojourn is gonna, there's another word besides sojourn because in verse two, go to verse two and the word is dwell. And the Lord appeared to him, so God made it clear to him, do not go down, do not go down. There's places God's told us not to go down to and we keep going there, right?

God says don't go to Egypt, don't go to Egypt. One of the best things you can do to be faithful is just don't go to places God's told you not to go to. Circle dwell. Dwell in the land I shall tell you. Now this word of which I shall tell you and then right afterwards he gives them, he says this is the land I want you to dwell in. That dwell word also goes with the verse three word sojourn.

And in the Hebrew the word is gor. And the gor is a word and it's different than a different Hebrew word called rishav. Gor means to stay in a place but not make it a permanent settlement. How often do we go to lands that we know God has told us not to be in? It could be a relationship. You're like I don't belong in this relationship. I don't belong in this relationship.

God you know it's whatever it is. I'm not telling you about your marriage if you've committed in covenant marriage. You know sometimes there needs to be safety mechanisms there if there's abuse and things. I get that. I'm not saying that. But sometimes we're in other relationships and just because it's comfortable because it offers us convenience or whatever it is we settle there.

And it's like we become a resident. You know you get a permanence in that place. Are there places that we are going to where God has said I want you to move there? He says Gor, he says I want you to dwell in that place but don't act like the people that live there. I want you to dwell in this place of darkness, this place that will become your promise but you're going to live differently and if you go to verse three again, there's the payoff.

It says in this land I will, circle will be with you and I will bless you and to you and your offspring I will give these lands which are currently in famine, which are currently in fallow and I will establish, circle establish the oath that I swore to Abraham your father. Well God's never given me a promise like that. You haven't read the Bible. Okay, God doesn't need to, excuse me, to specifically come to you and say Mike, Tina or whoever your name is, put your name there, blank, blah, blah, blah.

If you only had the promises of the New Testament, you have enough to dwell with for eternity. Learn the promises and live in those promises in that land of fallow. God is telling you to gur, not to yeshav. To gur, to live there. What does it look like to maintain the customs of a righteous person in an ungodly land or in a place that looks of famine and fallow?

So there's two points today we're going to hit quickly. The first one is how to have faith in the famine. Faith in the famine. And then the second one is the temptation of Egypt. Now, we all have an Egypt, right? And sometimes it's interesting, God has told certain people, I'm sending you to Egypt, you know? And so the metaphor doesn't cross, it doesn't exactly line up, but in this case, Egypt is the exit door.

It is the safety, it is the safety valve. It is the comfort zone. It is the different place that you know you can go to when God is telling you, I need you to live righteously here in this place. And so it is the temptation of Egypt. Go to verse one again. We'll look at the first point, faith in the famine. Now there was a famine in the land besides the former famine, that's really key, that was in the days of Abraham.

Well, who is Abraham? Abraham's Isaac's father. This is something that happens regularly in this part of the world, these famines. And we know that when Abraham had a famine, he was traveling through the Negev and different areas, and a famine came, and it says he went and dwelt in Egypt for a while, and he escaped there. There is some discussion around, was he going out of God's will, or was he in God's will to go to Egypt?

I tend to think because it doesn't say he was out of God's will that God had led him there. But we also know that Jesus himself, when he was being persecuted by Herod, where was he called to go to? He was called to go, that's right, he was called to go to Egypt, and so we know we see that there. This place in Africa is, you know, and above Egypt is a place where famine happens.

There's a picture on the map right there. This is the Horn of Africa. If you're not aware, there was a massive famine, you leave that up, there was a massive famine there, especially in Somalia, between 2010 and 2012. A quarter of a million people died because of that famine. Perhaps you remember it, and there was like two to three years of famine, and there was all this, you know, these people who died, there was all this consequence.

What is so interesting about that famine that we see, and having this faith in the famine, is they attribute two-thirds of the deaths, not from the famine or the drought, but from the inability or the choosing not to prepare for the famine or for this drought. It had happened before, it is part of historicity that this happens there all the time. In Ethiopia, about 30 years earlier, they had an equally severe drought.

This is the most severe drought you've had in the last like 50 years, but they had already had it. And what they continued to do was rush aid in, but never change the infrastructure. Never build the reservoirs. You can go look at this. They continue, and they weren't prepared for that famine. This is a key point. When God is moving in your life, and you were in times of feast, or things are good, one of the best things, or one of the things you need to do, is to prepare for the famine.

The other reason they feel, because of the unpreparedness, was also corruption. They said, you know, part of this two-thirds number that died because people were stealing food, and there was all this corruption that was happening. All this was happening in the midst of this famine, and so what famine exposes is what stability cannot. Let's take this back to your life.

You take that picture down. When you have famine in your life, things will be exposed that you will not see in the midst of your feasting. Famine exposes what stability cannot. It reveals dependence. It tests obedience. If the church ain't crying, it's dying, I'll tell you. It often becomes the setting where provision is experienced by God. Famine exposes what stability cannot.

If you're in a season of famine, you know this. The curtain is ripped. The things that are hidden become exposed, and all of a sudden you see things that you didn't see in the past, and we see that this does this, that famine exposes what stability cannot. It reveals dependence, tests obedience, and often becomes the setting where provision is experienced.

What I think is so key about this, God says there's gonna be a famine, and then he says, I'm gonna be there with you. For the believer, famine and fallow do not mean a lack of presence. Famine and fallow do not mean a lack of presence. And God says, if you stay here, in verse three I believe it is, I will be with you, and I will bless you. Now thanks to grace, he protects us when we run to Egypt, but he doesn't say, go to Egypt, and I will be with you, and I will bless you.

God's grace, and when we go to the Egypts of our lives, and do the things that we know we shouldn't do, how many thank God for a graceful God, right? Who protects us and saves us, and that we've made those mistakes, and he makes all things turned together for good, for those that love God, and are called according to his purpose. But if you have famine in your life, if you have fallow in your life, whatever the reason be, know that it does not mean a lack of presence.

And more often than not, Christians experience God in the famine in a much deeper, much more real and authentic way than we do in the feasting. I don't know why that is. I don't know why when, you know, we're in this incredible season of blessing, and we're just running in it, why we tend to off-throttle. One of the things I've always tried to do in my life is when things are going really well with God, to throttle up, and I haven't been very successful.

I just haven't. It's just he's showing up, he's blessing, he's doing these things. It's until he starts to shake, until there starts to be some tension in the line, until there starts to be some wind through the trees. You know, when that happens, when there's some, you know, tribulation in our life, when there's a great shaking, it seems the time that I wake up and I experience him in such a deeper way.

I think a lot of you know what it means to wake up at 3.30 in the morning, not be able to get back to sleep, and every fear that could ever happen has been concentrated into that one moment. And you're there, and you're just, it's over you, and it's dark, and it's just like, ah, what am I gonna do? It's in those moments that we need to remember this verse.

And if, if, if, if you're in a land of fallow, there's, in the midst of the rich blessing that's happening at our church, for the first time ever, we have just seen some real famine in people's health. We've seen some real famine in relationships. We've seen real famine, I mean, we're seeing some famine in a different way than we've seen it since I've been here in 12 years that I've been here.

So I speak this word to you because I regularly, one of the best things I do is when those moments come to me, and they come to me somewhat regularly, at 3.30 in the morning, it's usually 3.47. I seem to wake up at 3.47. So if you're up at 3.47, what's up? I see you. Best thing I do, I start praying for people at our church. That kind of just turns my mind off of it.

This is a word I want to say to you if you're in the land of fallow. If your marriage is in fallow, if your relationship with your children is fallow, if your business is in fallow and famine, I will say that God says this to you, sojourn in this place. Don't live there like a resident. And I will be with you, and I will bless you. And you go before the Lord, and you hold on to him, and you say, God, I demand, because your promise has said, that you bless me.

Because Isaac's son does the same thing. He says, I demand you bless me. And he says, oh, okay, when he wrestles with God, we're gonna get there. We probably won't get there this year on this series. But read that story, and then he touches his hip and he walks with a limp the rest of his life. He was touched by God. But he didn't walk with a limp afterwards, but God was with him.

And he was in that place and in that favor. And so the reason I'm emotional is because I just, I'm walking with you. I've prayed with a bunch of you. You guys are going through some hard, hard stuff. We had hard stuff this week. And so I just want to say, take heart and hold on to this verse, this verse three. I put, it's not a presence. I put, famine is the factory of your faith.

It forges us, doesn't it? And I want to say, bless the, God says be thankful in all situations. Bless the famine. Say, Jesus, I thank you for this famine. God, I thank you for this famine. Because God, you are forging in me something that the feasting cannot. You are forging something within me that the feasting cannot. It's so hard. No one wants to hear that message, but it was a regular message of Jesus.

And it was something that Jesus faced on the cross. Here's the second point. The temptation of Egypt. Verse two. And the Lord appeared to him and he said, do not go down to Egypt, but dwell in the land which I shall tell you. I shall go down to you. Sojourn in the land and I will be with you and I will bless you for you and to your offspring I will give these lands.

I love that promise. And I will establish, I will establish the oath that I swore to Abraham, your father. Go find those promises. Abraham was called to go to Egypt. I mentioned that a moment ago. That's in Genesis 12, 10. You can go find that. Joseph went to Egypt. He was sold there in slavery. He wasn't called to go there. His brothers, this is a little bit later in the story, gets sent to Egypt.

And Egypt becomes the place that protects the promise. You need to hear that. If you are in a foreign land and it said that Joseph, he wanted his bones not to be buried in Egypt. He wanted them buried in the promised land and Moses took them up. That Egypt, the place of, we become a place of slavery, all the negative things became the protector of the promise.

And some of the things that you guys are going through right now is protecting your future promise because God is forging something in the factory of faith in your heart that he wants to release. And he says, this then will no longer be a place of famine. It will be a place of blessing. I will make it your land. You will find favor in this land and I will bless you.

Don't give up. Never give up. Jesus himself in Matthew 2, 13 went to Egypt as a refuge. And these places, when God calls you to go there, is a refuge from famine or foe. But he didn't call him to go here this time. You see, it's not always a perfect template. Right? Well, that's the way I did it last time I had an issue. I'm going to do it again this way.

I prayed these prayers and I got out of it. I had this little formula. People come to me with formulas all the time. I was talking to somebody and they were, they said, you pray a prayer a thousand times and it will be answered. I was like, I didn't argue. Maybe, maybe it is. Right? I want to tell you two more times down, you pray 2,000 times and it won't be answered because God does it different because you already learned that lesson.

I got to teach you a new lesson. We're going to go a little bit deeper this time. We're going to go a little bit further behind the curtain this time. And so he told Isaac, you're not doing what your father did. I'm not even going to tell you to do what Jesus did or is going to do because it's futuristic. But he says to him, stay here. this takes a keen, a keen ear to the Holy Spirit.

If you are under the age of, I don't know, 40, 50, you probably didn't have a turn dial radio where you're trying to get the mighty 690 on because they played the best music on AM radio, right? You hear me, what I'm saying? AM, they're playing, and it's going, you're tuning it in. You're just, you touched it, you went too far. Anybody over the age of 40 knows what I'm talking about.

You're making your mixtape, you're all ready to press record on the cassette because Casey Kasem, oh, I'm talking to you. You know who I'm talking to. Casey, kids are like, Casey Kasem? He's getting ready to play Dirk Amazar by Falco. You can't get it tuned in. I go all day on that. That's fine. I can do Casey Kasem all day. It's going to take a keen ear to know that God said, hey, this time, we're not going to Egypt.

We're not going to Egypt this time. But we go to Egypt every time. It's my favorite place. It's like mammoth lakes for me. I love it, God. You always save me in Egypt. Not this time. This time you're staying put, and you're going to trust me. How do you live in the land of famine when there's a place that looks like favor right over the border? Isaac's told not to go down to Egypt.

It's not always sinful to go to Egypt, but sometimes it's premature. And if God ain't in Egypt, you sure as heck don't want to go there. Because he doesn't, you can't go to the promise in the same way. He's got grace. You can't go to the promise in the same way and say, God, I've been faithful with the first fruits of my time. I've been faithful with the first fruits of my giving.

I've been faithful in my marriage. I've been faithful. You promised me if there's any unfaithfulness in me, show it to me, Lord. But I'm calling you out on this because you told me to because these are your promises. You've got to know the promises of God. You can't go to Egypt when he tells you not to go to Egypt. I think I made my point. The real test is what's driving the migration of your feet to Egypt.

Is it faith or fear? Fear is like a Thomas guide. Once again, you've got to be over 40. It's like the Thomas guide. Google Maps for the rest of y'all. Fear is like the Google Maps of displacement and migration when it comes to where the enemy would have you go rather than God wants you to go. I had a, I better see what time it is. Oh, I'm late. Goodness gracious.

I'm going to end up. Okay, sorry guys. Everybody's like, you good? Preach another hour. I'm just kidding. I'm not. We're going to get into Martin Luther in a minute. Westminster Confession. We're doing it all. I'll just finish with this. The real test is whether fear is driving the moment or faith. Sometimes remaining requires more faith than relocating. Sometimes remaining requires more faith than relocating.

This isn't all. Once again, you better tune in and know what God's saying to you but God told me specifically to let some of you all know that he's telling you to stay put and if he is, you know it. I'm not the one to tell you. I'm not going to come up to you and say, hey, you, that's not my job. In a job you want to leave, in a ministry position, in a whatever and he's saying stay put.

Not every door that opens is God's direction. Some are just anxiety exits. You have these doors that open. Quickly, we came back from Australia. We went on a mission saying it didn't work out. Well, it did work out actually but it didn't work out the way I thought it was going to work out. I thought I was going to be the king of Australia. You know what I mean?

I'd get there and be like, Adam, you're here. Let's have revival. You're in charge. It didn't work out. Came back. Had two grand in the bank living in a 400 square foot studio. My daughter was living in the closet. Some of you have heard this story. I've told it before. And I had a church come to me and they're like, hey, we're going to pay you a bunch of money, way too much money to be the junior high pastor.

And I had no more junior high pastor left in me. They had taken it all from me. It had drained it out of my body. And I had this other place I kind of felt like God's like, you're supposed to go there. But they were like, yeah, you know, I thought it was cooler than that. But they were just like, we'll see, we'll see. And it had taken months and we were running out of money.

And they came to me again and they said, hey, we really want you. You are junior high boy and we need you at this church and come take this job. And it was a bunch of money. And it, you know, like things are draining. I got a wife, a brand new kid. I'm in that 30-something age group, you know what I mean? It was a great church. It was a big church. Had a lot of promise.

And God said no. The decision to not walk through that open door was one of the hardest decisions I've ever made in my life. And about five weeks after I said no for the second time because they kept pursuing me, I finally got a call from North Coast Calvary Chapel from Mark Foreman. He said, hey, we'd love you to come up here. And we were there for 11 years and it was incredible.

And it set me up for what we're doing now. Two practical takeaways and we're done. Favor in the land of fallow is like a seed. It's often hidden in the season of famine. Joshua did a great teaching at the men's retreat on this. There's these seeds that are in the hard ground. You ever seen those documentaries about Africa? You know? It's like David Attenborough.

And then the rainy season came. You know, or whatever it is. He doesn't actually talk like that. I can't do it, David Attenborough. But then you see it like in speed and it's like, woof! And it's like super bloom. Some of you have a super bloom waiting if you'll just stay. Because that land of famine with all the cracked mud that you're living in, it is full of seeds ready to bloom.

Don't go to Egypt. And the final is stability comes from who is with you, not what surrounds you. I will be with you. Verse three. I will be with you. I will bless you for you and your offering. I will give these lands and I will establish the oath that I swore to Abraham, your father. Some of the lands right now that you don't even want to be in because they're fallow, God's gonna, I'm gonna give you these lands and they're gonna be a land of your favor.

God is gonna take that place to fallow and he's gonna turn it into a land of favor. Amen? Let's stand. Chris, you wanna play? Yeah. I have a prayer team come up. We ran out of time for the closing song that I wanted to do because 11 o'clock needs your parking spot. It's like famine out there, right? I wanna bless you. I understand that these are difficult things.

I never wanna give you bumper sticker answers. I never want to give you a bumper sticker answer for your life. Oh, here, you know, God loves you. God said it. I believe it. That settles it. You know, I hated that bumper sticker. It was just like, no, it's not that easy. And I get it. Those are important. But I never wanna do that. I just want, we as a church, we welcome you and we wanna walk with you through favor and famine.

Extend your hands if you would and I wanna bless you. If you need prayer, please come get it. Lord Jesus, we bless your people. Here at Sea Change Church, we wanna see a sea change, God. We wanna see a blessing. We want your favor, God. I need you in these seasons. And so Jesus, I pray that you would just reimagine famine and fallow for anyone who was in it, that you would reimagine it, Lord Jesus.

And God, that it would begin to rain just like the prophet saw in just a little black spot of a cloud. Let them see that little spot of a cloud because the rain is coming. The season of feasting is coming. And let us hold on to you like Jacob held on. We say, bless me, Lord. Bless me. Now I bless you now. I personally bless you now. In the name of the Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit.

Amen. We love you guys. Have a great Sunday. Amen.
