...That Is Willing to Dig! | Clayton Hentzel

Crossing family. I am so glad that you guys are

here today. You pumped to be a church that

away. I love you, too.

I want to welcome all of our different locations.

Those of you watching online and inside, God bless you.

We have an incredible weekend of ministry ahead of us and then

this upcoming weekend Super Bowl weekend, the third highest

attended weekend at our church, every single year is upon us.

I don't want to have to do this, but I think it's important that

I do. Because I think sometimes you

guys doubt Out, my pastoral powers.

A couple weeks ago, I said this we are going to we were going to

try and bring in a Kansas City, Chiefs player that's on the

roster presently but they'll be playing in the Super Bowl this

year. If you know, you know, I'll be

reading Palms after the service for 25 bucks.

If you guys want to know what the lottery numbers are to let

me know, it is going to be an incredible weekend to bring your

friends and family were bringing in Steve Weatherford.

A former NFL player, big Fitness guy guy, you fell in love with

Jesus, and is telling people all across the country about them,

it will be a great weekend for you to bring friends, family and

neighbors. We are also going to be

participating in The Frigid 5K, our first-ever 5K, my second

ever 5K. All proof.

Okay, listen, here's why we're doing it.

Not because we're workout freaks.

Although I am not because we want to get out in the cold

because we already live in a bad place.

The reason we're doing it is because we are raising money to

rescue and rehabilitate those who are in sex trafficking and

we've got two great ministry partners that we're going to be

directing all of the funds toward.

And there is a spot for every single one of you to

participate, you can run it. You don't care.

If you buy kit, you can roll it. You can I don't care you.

Can crawl it or you can just be there and serve people while

they do it. But there is a spot for

everybody and I want us to come together, make a memory together

and ultimately make a difference together.

I also want to tell you this if you are here for the first time,

or maybe the first time in a long time, at any point in time

during this message, you can click on the QR code.

In front of you, you can get connected to our church.

You can sign up for the 5K. You can get more information

about how to take your next steps.

What I want to do before I jump in and message, I want to Spend

just a little bit of time in prayer for the ministry that is

ahead of us. Would you guys do that?

Got only, you know, what could happen in a person's life?

Next weekend. God, you're the only one who

knows the power of an invite, the power of a little bit of

boldness, the power of a little bit of Courage, on our part got

that, you could take that small seed of faith and you could

absolutely change a family tree. Got to pray that you would help

us as a church. Be ready to love and welcome and

care and encourage God, I pray that we would never lose sight

of the fact that you're Sacrifice forever changed us.

But it's not just for us, it's for every person we will ever

meet your name. I pray.

Amen. Well, today marks the end of

this sermon series, there has to be a place and I've been beating

you up on this spiritual spectrum that our church exists

for. Absolutely everybody on this

spiritual Spectrum, people who absolutely absolutely hate God,

and people who think they look like him.

It is for everybody, which means that this is A church for you.

And our job is to help people, no matter where they're at, move

from left to right. And we started off talking about

there has to be a place that is committed to reaching the lost

and making disciples. And then we said, there has to

be a place that believes that Jesus still changes.

People, don't ever let Satan get you into this.

Stinking thinking that God is still not at work.

Still changing lives, still reorienting people's eternity.

And then we said, there has to be a place that is committed to

using the gifts that God has given them to make a difference

in people's lives and joining him in his glorious Mission.

And then we said, there has to be a place that's committed to

biblical Community because you were not meant to live alone.

God's plan was for you to be in community with others.

So you can be a refuge for them and they can be a refuge for

you. And then last week, we talked

about there has to be a place that joyously gives to a advance

the mission. And the whole reason we're doing

this is because we want to make this place right here, all ten

thousand seven hundred, ninety five square miles.

This, I don't even know what this looks like.

It'll be a great tattoo for somebody.

This place right here, the hardest place on planet Earth to

get to Hell from and it is going to require absolutely every

single one of us to make it happen.

Today I titled my message. Let's dig.

Turn to your neighbor. Say let's dig.

I don't like digging right? I get it back in October of

2000. Yeah, back in October.

I was doing some Bible reading and I ended up going down a

really weird Rabbit Hole. However, at the end of that

rabbit hole, I found something that was incredibly spiritually

moving for me. It was so moving.

I took our elders through it at our elders, Retreat.

I took our staff through it, we had a special gathering at the

beginning of the year and I took that group of people through it

and today I'm incredibly excited to share it with you.

The Rabbit Trail and went down is where all the times in the

Bible where it talks about digging.

And there's a couple of like, highlight reels.

It doesn't show up that all that often.

But there's a couple highlights 01.

Is Matthew chapter 25 where people dig out of fear.

Matthew 25 · chapter mention

Again, it will be like a man going on a journey who called

his servants and entrusted, his wealth to them, to one, he gave

five bags of gold to another two bags, into another one bag each.

According to his ability, then he went on his journey.

The man who had received five bags of gold went at once and

put his money to work and gained five bags, more.

So also the The one with two bags of gold, gained two more,

but the man who had received one bag went off.

Dug a hole in the ground, and hid his master's money.

Instead of leveraging what he had been given for a greater

purpose. He hit it.

He dug a hole to bury it and protect it and preserve it.

He wanted to take the gift that had been given to him and give

it back to his master in perfect mint condition.

But that is not at all how God wants you to use the gift.

You have he wants us to be the kind of people that have dirty

knees and calloused hands that are gifts, have some Nicks in

them because we've used them for his glory, god would rather you

try something and fail on his behalf, then have a perfect

track record of never trying anything and never failing at

all. Another reason people dig in

scripture is they dig for stability.

Look at this one, Luke chapter 6, why do you call this?

Luke 6 · chapter mention

Is Jesus talking, why do you call me Lord Lord, and do not do

what I say you guys know those kind of people people who say,

they believe in Jesus, but don't act anything like him.

Those people look a lot like us, right?

As for everyone who comes to me and hears my words and puts them

into practice I will show you what they are, like.

They're like a man building a house who dug down deep and laid

the foundation on Rock. When a flood came the torrent,

struck that house but could not shake it because it was well

built. But the one who hears my words

they were at church, they were sitting right next to you.

Hands were up during worship. And does not put them into

practice, is like a man who built a house on the ground.

Without a foundation. The moment the torrent struck

that house it collapsed and its destruction was completed.

Come here. There are people out there who

will tell you that. Once you find a relationship

with Jesus Christ, you will have no storms.

Those people are idiots. Now, listen, you avoid some

storms as a Christian, no doubt about it.

You avoid some, but you do not avoid them.

All the difference is for the believer, who digs down deep the

storms can come, the wind can blow, the rain, can fall the

flood. Waters can rise and when the

storm is over, because no storm last forever, when the storm is

over, Christian is still standing in 2023.

You will have a storm hit you and those who dig down deep and

put the words of God into practice in their life, they

will have a firm foundation. And after the storms over, they

will still be standing when you dig down deep in prayer.

When you dig down deep in your reading, in your service into

your community, you are laying a foundation not just for you.

But for all who will find Refuge with you, another, one of the

reasons why people dig in scripture is Mark chapter 2,

Mark 2 · chapter mention

they dig for people who don't know, Jesus, yet.

Look what happens. A few days later.

When Jesus, again entered Capernaum, the people heard that

he had come home, they gathered in such large numbers that there

was no room left, not even outside the door and he preached

the word to them. Some men bring to him a

paralyzed man carried by four of them, since they could not get

him the paralyzed man to Jesus because of the crowd, they made

an opening in the roof above Jesus, by digging through it and

then lowered the mat, the man was lying on when Jesus saw

their faith. This is really interesting.

He said to the paralyzed, man. Son, your sins are forgiven.

I'm praying that we would be the kind of church.

That would dig a hole in a roof to get people to Jesus that we

would do whatever it takes to help lost people, find their way

home to their heavenly father. That we would be the kind of

church that would invite people. Pray for people be kind to

people say, we pick him up and bring him.

Say we take him out too. I eat afterwards and let them

ask questions invite them into our lives and ultimately invite

them in to a relationship with Jesus.

That would be the kind of people that would dig by serving to

make sure that their needs are met.

The kind of church that would dig and be ready when they show

up to receive them. The kind of people that dig by

being the leader of a Biblical Community to Journey with them

to love them and delete them closer to Jesus.

There's got to be a church. That's willing to dig.

Then there's the story of Elijah is another interesting one.

This is when he's on Mount Carmel, and he's against 450

prophets of Baal. There'd been a drought.

It hadn't rained for three years which resulted in a severe

famine. And the people of God were no

longer calling. On God, they were worshipping a

false god. and so, Elijah issued a challenge, he said you guys

call on your God and I'm going to call on mine and whichever

God sends down fire and sets the sacrifice that we've made a

flame. He will be the real God.

So the false prophets went and they got a bull and they made an

altar and they they set it on a pile of wood and they began

praying. They started praying in the

morning and they prayed all the way till noon.

And not a word from God. Then went from noon until midday

from midday till evening. And not once did the god that

they were crying on issue, a word or answer by fire.

Then it was Elijah Stern. He told them to build an altar

with 12 Stones. Instead of Bowl upon it, then he

dug a trench all the way around the Altar and he ordered them to

take four large jars, fill them with water, that hasn't rained.

In three years. They're in the middle of a

family and he says, fill four large jars of water and pour it.

On the altar. So they did.

And then he said, Do it again. And they did and then he said,

do it a third time. And they didn't.

And the water rain down the bowl down, the wood down the stones,

and it filled the trench that he had dug in the dirt.

First Kings chapter 18. At the time of the sacrifice,

1 Kings 18 · chapter mention

the Prophet Elijah step forward and prayed Lord, the god of

Abraham, Isaac and Israel, let it be known today that you are

God in Israel and that I am your servant and have done all these

things at your command answer me, Lord, answer me.

So these people will know that you Lord, Our God, and that you

are turning their hearts back again.

Then the fire of the Lord fell and burned up the sacrifice.

The would the stones and the soil, and also licked up the

water in the trench. Here we see Elijah dig for Faith

long after this moment, not long after it, God opened up the

heavens and the rain started to fall from the sky.

Elijah dug a hole in the ground knowing that it nothing is

impossible with God. That not only could God answer

by fire but he could restore all the water that was poured out

and then some Elijah Doug for Faith, he believed that God

still moved, still heard prayers.

And that at a moment's notice, God could turn any situation

around. However, the one that got me,

I've even got to my sermon. The one that got me was an

obscure one in Genesis chapter 33.

Genesis 33 · chapter mention

We find these words after Jacob came from paddan-aram.

He arrives safely at the city of shechem in Canaan and Camp

within sight of the city for a hundred pieces of silver.

He bought from the sons of hamor, the father of shechem,

the plot of ground where he pitched his tent.

There, he set up an altar and called it LL.

Oh hey Israel, the mighty one, Of Israel.

You like Clayton. That's the first verse that

really doesn't talk about digging.

Well, you need to fast forward to John chapter 4.

John 4 · chapter mention

Look what happens here. In John chapter 4, this is

John 4 · chapter mention

talking about Jesus. Now he had to go through

Samaria. So we came to a town in Samaria

called sychar near the plot of ground Jacob had given to his

son, Joseph Jacob's. Well, was there and Jesus tired

as he was from the journey sat down by the well, it was about

noon when a Samaritan woman came to draw water.

Jesus said to her, will you give me a drink?

His disciples had gone into town to buy food?

Dude, the Samaritan woman said to him, you are a Jew and I am a

Samaritan woman. How can you ask me for a drink

for Jews? Which is Jesus do not associate

with Samaritans? Jesus answered her.

If you knew the gift of God and who it is, that asks you for a

drink, you would not have asked him and he would not have given

you and he would have given you living water.

Sir, the woman said, you have nothing to draw.

Draw with and the well is deep. Where can you get this living

water? Are you greater than our father?

Jacob, who gave us the well and drank from it himself.

As did, all of his sons and livestock, Jesus answered

everyone, who drinks this water will be thirsty again, but

whoever drinks the water that I give them will never thirst.

Indeed, the water, I give them will become in them a spring of

water, welling up to eternal life and this was The piece that

got me all twisted up. Jacob bought a piece of land.

And he dug a well. And for 1800 years.

People drink from it. He drank from it, his livestock

drink from it. And for eighteen centuries,

anybody who was thirsty, could go to the well that he dug and

get something to drink. Fathers and Sons would fight the

heat of the day at Jacob's. Well, Mothers and daughters

friends and neighbors would gather together and get the

sustenance they needed to get through each day out of well

that was Doug. Eighteen hundred years before.

It was a deep. Well, she was right.

It was 40 meters. Deep 120 feet into the ground.

Jacob dug a well and 1,800 years later.

Jesus sits down at the very well that he dug and turns a woman's

life around. So I went and got myself up.

A garden Spade. And I wrote something on it.

But I want to be the kind of person that digs today.

So other people can drink tomorrow.

I want to be the kind of church. I want to be the kind of person.

That's willing to do the hard work, the Dirty Work, the

digging down deep work so that for Generations, other people

can find the Living Water that only God can give that every

time I invite somebody, I'm turning a little bit of dirt.

Every time that I serve at the church, I move a little bit of

dirt, every time I'm in community and I make an

investment in somebody in their life and in the direction, and

the spiritual formation of who they are, and who are they?

They're becoming Even a little bit of dirt, I'm digging today

because you never know who's going to need a drink tomorrow.

That every time I give I'm putting my shovel in the ground.

Listen. I-i've got the living water in

my heart but there's just too many people that don't that

every time I read my Bible and I put a little bit of it into

practice. I'm giving myself a little bit

of water that I can disperse to my friends and my family members

that when someone goes through a hard time in their life in

there, navigating challenging circumstances in there and their

soul is parched. That I would be in a position

that can give them just a little bit, a living water.

But listen, if you start digging your going to look weird.

I wonder how long it took him. How long would it take you?

To dig a hole. 120 feet into the ground.

Wonder how many times he was digging and he was wondering my

ever going to hit water. but he just kept digging because he

knew that one day somebody would need something to drink.

I want us to be a church, every single one of us, who's okay?

With looking a little weird, our calendars are going to look a

little different. Our spending habits are going to

be a little different. Are giving.

Habits are going to be different.

Our weekly activities are going to look different.

Our priorities are going to be different.

And people are gonna be like, why are you doing what you're

doing? You're going to tell them

because I'm digging. I'm digging today.

So other people can drink tomorrow.

If you want to know what this looks like, there's a video that

perfectly captures it. I don't know.

I am not playing around, quit crying that commercials a big

Pharma commercial. All they're trying to do is give

you some vitamins. I'm not playing around.

Isn't that? Who you want to be deep down

inside doing something that matters who is the picture?

Who is the picture? Who's the person that would

motivate you to dig down deep? There's going to be a lot of

people. A lot of people who are going to

spend their entire lives focused on themselves, but there has to

be a church. There has to be a church that's

willing to dig. There's me a lot of people who

are going to spend all their money on themselves, but there

has to be a place that's willing to dig.

There has to be a place that's willing to dig down deep so

other people can drink tomorrow. I'm asking you listen, I'm

asking you not, not for me. I'm asking you, for you.

To be a part of a church to be a part of making a place that digs

down deep. So other people.

Can drink tomorrow. I feel like the only way to

finish this sermon series is the finish it the way we began it.

Hello. I was an inmate in Vandalia

Missouri. I was released on January, 21st

2022. I want to take a little bit of

your time to tell you. Thank you.

Thank you to the amazing people who came to Vandalia every

Monday night to allow me to hear God's word and guidance.

You all save my heart mind and soul and help me so very much by

helping me to reach out to God for help.

I was an extremely broken shattered person from The Life

Choices, I had made and from the cards that were dealt to me, I

still remember the first time I went to service in 2019, I like

the service so much, but when I was only able to attend to

Services because I was transferred, then I came back

for the fourth time, but covid-19 on, so you all were not

allowed in the camp on November. Of 2021, they allowed you back

and when I was asked by another offender about the service, I

was like, why not nothing better to do on a Monday night?

The first service was, of course, amazing with the music,

the sermon and the communion. I liked it enough.

I was going to keep going because of the service on

Mondays, because I was always told you don't give up on the

Miracle because you never know when it will occur.

I've had a very rollercoaster relationship with Jesus ever

since my mother was murdered in 1999 when I was 17 years old at

41 years old. I made the decision to continue

to attend. I had no idea exactly when it

happened but the band played Battle Belongs and I knew

something was happening because I got cold chills in my eyes

filled up with tears, let me explain why that's important.

I've not cried tears of any type since 1999, it was hard and when

my mother passed away in 99, 20 years later in 2019, I was

completely Frozen My heart and soul cease to exist when the one

person in my life who had raised me and believed in me, and my

grandmother passed away. Six days after I was released

the first time for modok, then, in July of 2019, six months

after my grandmother died, my best friend.

Brittany passed away from an overdose.

That was the final straw. I froze.

Everything in me. So, I would never in my life,

have to feel the pain of a truly broken heart.

Obviously, I don't deal with my emotions.

So what tricks does the devil give us to stop that broken

heart. Well, he gave us crystal meth

cocaine. Owen, and now Fentanyl.

I fell for those tricks and when my heart broke back in 99, the

devil's tricks actually worked for the physical pain because I

was numb. So my choice every time I was

hurting would be to turn to drugs over and over.

I was definitely living a life of insanity this past year.

When I was locked up, I decided I was done with drugs and I was

finally ready to move. Remove all the negativity inside

of my heart and soul. I Turn To The Crossing sermons

on Monday nights as a stepping stone.

At first, I thought nobody could possibly understand or relate to

the extreme pain and hurt. That was frozen inside of me

screaming to be released out, but I had Frozen it, then all of

a sudden. I felt him.

I felt God, run through my veins, my heart started to beat

with Hope and Faith and then came the tears and I realized

that I've never been alone that he was always with me.

The Footprints Prayer, came that people talk about describe to

me. He has carried me all these

years because I couldn't walk on my own.

Because I was so broken and shattered.

Now, at 41 years old for the first time I picked up a Bible

and I read it, I've always heard about the story of Jesus, birth

and death, but to actually sit there and read Matthew Mark,

Luke and John open my eyes and heart to see what God really did

for me, for all of us. I even watch the History Channel

show Easter weekend called The Bible and I cried, I cried real

tears as I watched what he was put through so that my sins

could be forgiven. Everything that happened since I

got locked up in 21. I don't believe would have

happened if I had not decided to go to your sermons in November

as I stated before, they kick started, my intimate personal

relationship with God. I now not only no, but believe

100% that nothing is bigger than God.

And that I am never alone, he's always there.

I just have to make the choice to listen to open up my heart

and soul, and listen for his guidance and love to embrace me.

So again, thank you. Hopefully with my openness and

acceptance of Jesus as my Lord and Savior.

I will never have to go back through the doors of Missouri,

Department of Corrections. All I want in life is true,

happiness, peace and serenity between the ears.

And when I close my eyelids and I have faith that a little Cur,

I definitely plan to continue watching your services online.

I now live in st. Charles Missouri.

So it's a long drive for me to go to Quincy but one day when I

have a driver's license and illegal, Vehicle.

I will be there at the Crossing and I'll be baptized declaring

my surrender. Love faith, hope, and believe

that Jesus Is My Savior and died.

So, I could live with him in heaven, I can almost promise

that if it had not been for the Crossing in Vandalia, I would

have gone back to my old life of drugs misery hopelessness

praying that, when my eyes would shut, they would never open up

now, I smile, I'm happy. I love again.

I laugh and everything is genuine and not fake, and it's

all because they were brought into my life.

And I pray that you receive this and it puts a smile on your face

because you helped save a soul that was lost and dying in

Ministry. All alone, everyone, I talked to

you since I got out, say they love how happy and full of

faith. Which would not have happened if

you had not guide me back to Jesus.

Well, there's a bunch of us that were kind of, like, we don't

need to wait till you have a car, and you don't need to wait

until you have a driver's. License will pick you up.

Crossing family. This is Jennifer.

Christ because you chose to dig yesterday.

So in front of all these people, your church family all across

this region, 10,000 miles wide. I want to ask you, I want you to

repeat after me. I believe, I believe that Jesus

is the Christ, the son of the Living God, and I want him as my

Lord and Savior. It's because your confession of

faith that I have the privilege to baptize you in the name of

the father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

Listen to me Crossing family. There has to be a church.

There has to be, there has to be a church that is willing to dig

today. So other people can drink

tomorrow and I say that churches here, I say that church is with

us and I say it's now we're moving to a time of decision.

There are. There are people in this room

right now. You've never stepped into that

relationship with Jesus before, there's people online right now,

you've never said yes to him. You've never surrendered your

life. If you're honest, you've been

living life for yourself how you want to live it.

And you have to understand something.

At this church. There's probably people in your

life and they've been digging hard.

They've been digging hard. Maybe for a moment such as this.

For you to hear that you were loved.

That you're accepted. And that that because of what

Jesus has done for for us, for what he's done for you that you

can be called a child of God. For those of you you've never

started that relationship with Jesus man that can change today.

Maybe maybe Jennifer story will just encourage you a little bit

that God is riding the very special story in your life.

You may be like, no, no, no, you don't know my story, you don't

know my history. Don't know what I'm going

through right now. How can God love me?

Listen. There are so many testimonies

you just heard an incredible. There are testimonies down your

rose right now. There are testimonies of people

who are watching online, who just says listen.

It's not about what you done. It's about who you trust in.

And today, man, you can start walking in that relationship

with him. You can say yes to him for the

very first time in just a little bit in the worship is going to

start and it is an opportunity for you mean.

Here's the first step to come up to these steps, get down on your

knees and just cry out to your You, I need you.

I need you. I don't want to live life on my

own terms anymore and maybe you have questions about what your

next step is. Maybe your next step is getting

those Waters of baptism tonight and there's going to be some one

right by the baptistry that would love to help.

Answer those questions in for those who have been digging for

you, man, they're going to Rejoice.

There's people in this Auditorium right now, people who

are watching online. We've been digging for an

opportunity for you to say yes to Jesus and that story can

change tonight in an instant, but it starts with you, And I'm

hoping that you will take that step for us who have

relationship with Christ, for those of us who've walked into

that relationship. It's time to dig deep.

It's time to dig deeper than we've ever dug before it's time

to dig deeper in our word to have that time during the week

where we don't just get fed scriptures here at church.

But we say man, I want to take God's word and I want to place

it in my heart and I want the word of God to transform me.

I want those words that are coming from the pages that come

alive in my life, and I want to do something about you, dig

deep, stick it in the ground and just start digging There's

nothing you, man, you just like, you've been coming to this

church for so long and those chairs are comfortable.

I get it. They're comfortable for the for

the most part. This this Auditorium is heated

correctly, sometimes it's too hot, sometimes it's too cold, I

get it, you're comfortable. But it's time for you to start

digging a little bit deeper, it's time for you to use.

The gifts God has equipped you with, to make sure people know,

and can hear the same message that you have heard that has

rescued, you who has saved you, and there's some of you been you

used to A little bit deeper used to serve but I get it, it was a

season. And right now, if you would walk

into your garage, you just see your shovel just hanging in the

garage. You remember the fruit that God

was doing through you, you see evidence of it but for some

reason you just put it up on the garage and just to hang there

and maybe till later. Maybe tonight's the night where

you say not anymore. I'm taking that shovel and I'm

digging a little bit deeper. Maybe it's Community.

You stepped away from a community or you've never

stepped into that. Biblical Community, you've never

stepped into a life group, a men's group, a women's group,

and you're just like, man, I need that Community.

I have five friends, I have family.

But I need to dig deeper, I need to get in that Community.

I need to dig deep, maybe tonight's the night where you

just like, listen, I heard that but I walked out of the sermon

and I didn't respond tonight's the night, you dig deep, it

could be that in giving as well. When you give to this church,

you're digging deep. You're investing in eternity',

you are a part of Jennifer's story.

You are part of this, the stories that are happening, all

over this region, all over this world, we dig deeper.

And the reason we dig today, we met Not see it.

We may not see it right away but we dig today.

So others can drink tomorrow. That's the mission of this

church. We want people to understand

that they can have an intimate personal relationship with

Jesus. And so, what do we do?

What's our response? We dig deep and we dig on behalf

of the people that don't know him yet.

And maybe in this moment, you have somebody that is on your

minds. You've been digging, you've been

trying to prepare the ground for the law.

Lord to do what he what only he can do and they're just so much

on your mind and so much on your heart right now that maybe in

this moment as a Believer you come up and you start preying on

behalf of them, you dig deep and the prayer side of things and

you just maybe call their name out loud for the first time.

And just say, man I'm praying Lord, that you would do

something in their life. Use me then use the people

around them to dig deep. We dig today.

So others can drink tomorrow. I believe that this is the

church, I believe you are the people.

I believe this is the time, but we don't know that until we

start picking up this shovel and start digging together.

Would you guys staying with me? We're going to go in this time

response and I'm praying that we move that we respond.

And we trust what God has for us and the future.

Heavenly father, I'm so thankful for this church.
