  1. Hello, Oak Ridge family and friends. This is

  2. David here with the Lewis family today, and we're

  3. going to share some scripture. But before we

  4. do that, I wanted to let them share a little

  5. bit about what points them to Christ during this

  6. holiday season. I'm just happy I'm going to be

  7. able to have some of my kids come through and

  8. visit us. So that's what I'm looking forward

  9. to towards the end of December. My daughter should

  10. be here, and my son will be here. So I'm very

  11. happy about that. I can't wait to see all of

  12. us together. Yeah, for me, it's kind of along

  13. the same line. I love having grandbabies here.

  14. Everyone talks about how they skip children and

  15. go straight to grandbabies, and that's true for

  16. me. Well, not that I'm skipping, but I really,

  17. really enjoy themself. Just sharing the Lord

  18. with them and seeing them begin to realize who

  19. he is. That is, I think, the best thing in the

  20. world. I love it. So pass my soul for you, O

  21. God. My soul thirsts for God, for the living

  22. God. When shall I come and appear before you,

  23. God? My tears have been my food day and night,

  24. while they continually say to me, Where is your

  25. God? When I remember these things, I pour out

  26. my soul within me. For I used to go with the

  27. multitude. I went with them to the house of the

  28. God, where the voice of the joy and praise, with

  29. the multitude that can't be compared with which

  30. speaks. Why are you cast down, O my soul? And

  31. why are you disquieted within me? Open, God,

  32. for I should yet praise him for the hope of his

  33. continence. Oh, my God, my soul is cast down

  34. within me. Therefore, I will remember you from

  35. the land of Jordan, and from the heights of Hermon,

  36. and from the hill Nezari. Deep calls above deep

  37. echo the noise of your waterfalls. All your waves

  38. and billows have gone over me. The Lord will

  39. command his loving kindness in the daytime, and

  40. in the night his soul shall be with me. A prayer

  41. to the God of my life. I will say to God my rock,

  42. why have you forgotten me? Why do I go mourning

  43. before because of the opposition of the enemy?

  44. As with the breaking of my bones, my enemies

  45. reproach me. While they say to me all day long,

  46. where is your God? Why are you so cast down on

  47. my soul? And why are you disquieted within me,

  48. hoping God? for I shall yet praise Him, the help

  49. of my confidence in my God. Yet more and more

  50. people believed and were brought to the Lord.

  51. Crowds of both men and women, as a result of

  52. their false report, sick people were brought

  53. out into the streets and on beds and masks, so

  54. that Peter's shadow might fall across some of

  55. them as he went by. Crowds came from the villages

  56. around Jerusalem, bringing their sick and those

  57. possessed by evil spirits, and they were all

  58. healed.
