That All May Know - Through Suffering & Serving | Pr Jack Ling

You're listening to a message to go from acts Church.

We hope this message will light up your day.

What I'm gonna share today, all right, I won't take

too long because you know, uh, I mean, praise God

for all the you know, praise reports that we heard today.

Uh, they're still good. Uh. And thanks for the testimony

as well. Audrey.

Yeah.

Uh, you know, God will work through you.

You know, you know, matter where you are, whatever, you know,

you're you're you know you're going through.

Uh.

And uh, you know she was not really thinking about

praying at first, but then you know, I think the

spirit of God moved her to say, let's prayer.

Let's pray all right? Uh. And uh, you know, be

open to that.

You know, maybe you're not used to doing some things,

but at that situation, at that moment, if you feel

that prompting, Uh, it can't be anything else but God's spirit.

If there's if someone something is causing you to want

to pray, it can't be anything else. It's definitely old

God's spirit prompting you please pray all right and see

something happened.

Amen.

So let's be open to more of the move of

the Holy Spirit in our lives. All right, So thank

you Audrey for sharing that powerful testimony. May there be more, more,

more stories all right in your life, and it's so powerful,

you know, if you can share it with somebody anyway.

I just want to pick up from where alder Kenya, you.

Know, was sharing last week.

He was here, and he spoke a very powerful message

that you know, sometimes we will say it's rarely spoken

nowadays about what but what anyone remembers? What was he

talking about? Testing about suffering that nobody realizes we talk

about it, all right, As he said, you know, nobody

sees suffering and wants to walk into it like avoid it?

Man? Of course, why do I want to walk into fire?

And you know danger?

But but then you know, we see the life of

Jesus and he walks into it. Of course he did pray, Lord,

if you can take this cup away from me? Yeah,

but nevertheless your will not mine, right, and he still

walks into the suffering. All right, So how lot Jesus

does that? And so we kind of follow him. We

learned from him, and we kind of need to follow

how he does it.

Right.

Of course we don't have to, you know, Die and

CRUSI get crucified unless the lot you know, you know,

unless some of us might need to go through some

of that kind of persecution, right, because there are many

many Christians right been tortured around the world, including people

here in Malaysia. But what I'm saying is, our Lord,

it's not afraid of some suffering, all right, and so

the same for us.

I want to encourage all of us.

Don't again, don't be afraid of suffering, because there is

a greater reward. It's something even better than, you know,

than the suffering that you're about to go through. So

don't let that stop you, all right. So I want

to pick up from there. What else can you share?

Uh?

You know, just a quick story, all right, you know ours,

you know, our family. We took a break and we

were traveling for a short while. All right, praise God

for all the provision all that he has blessed us with.

But you know, in uh during the break, uh, I

actually committed to do a fast with uh, you know,

with the management of the Victory Academy, you know management,

and I was supposed to fast one of the days.

But then you know, sometimes in holiday, if you're like,

you know, discount, no, you understand all this kind of stuff.

Right. I went on holiday, right, like, let me take

a break from all this stuff. Right.

But then I was convicted and I felt like I

need to commit to it. I've committed to it, let

me go through with it. I will still do a fast,

right for one of the breaks. Yeah, I'll miss some

of the luxury stuff there, you know that you paid

for you want to enjoy. But I did because also,

you know, in our text in the management pass, the

Kenneth also said, you know he's in London, right, London food,

you know, enjoy. You can enjoy stuff there as well.

But then he said, I'm so fasting. I'm going to

continue fasting, you know. Then I said, oh, yeah, me too, right,

And so we just went on with it. I fasted especially,

I mean I they didn't eat all the you know,

uh yummy food. I kept to like vegetables, you know,

and fruits that day. And also I first said, coffee.

Coffee is all my word, my bit an addiction, lie,

oxygen is almost I can to an extent. Now if

I don't take the coffee, I do get a headache,

all right, And it's okay, it's okay, it's Okay, it's normal.

All right, there's some reading. Uh, it's not exactly like

a drug problem. It's it's just normal because you're you're

a bit dependent on the caffeine to you know, wake

you up. But because and so when you stop drinking

for a day or two, you will get that heading.

But after that you will be all right. Okay, so

it's not really a big issue. So all right, any

coffee addicts here, okay. So yeah, so it's not that bad,

lie if you really you know, I want to overcome it.

Just kip one two days to be a headache. It's fine.

So anyway, I got a headache that that day and

we did all the activity with a headache that I

had to go through. And this reminded me of like suffering, suffering,

don't be afraid of it, because I want to see

a breakthrough. I want to see a breakthrough for our school,

you know, and what we're doing.

And so we continue to do that, and.

Just just reminded me of the message don't be afraid

of suffering. Yeah, you know, I've come to this place.

You know.

When I first joined ex church, I you know, I

was full of myself, full of myself, I was concerned

about my identity, you know, how people looked at me,

how you know how I felt. And so when I

joined the church and when I wanted to start serving,

I had to change a lot of things, like coming

on time, you know, because last time I had this

rockstar mentality come anytime, I like a right, rockstars always

come late, you know that kind of So I had

to change all that because when I want to start serving,

I have to come earlier. And then I have to

dress up. I have to dress up. A lot of

people don't like this idea I have to. You have

to dress up. You have to wear clothes that you

don't normally wear. All right, this is now normal for me,

this normal clothing already, but those days to want to

dress up in it.

Firstly, I have to save up money.

You have to buy, all right, a wardrobe, new new

set of clothes that I don't normally have. Right, I

have to look like a working person now, you know,

I know, I know, you know sometimes in in next

church we talk about clothing, right, I know, many many

churches they dress up with a lot of style, all right,

But we decided that when we serve, especially when we meet,

we dressed our best. Uh and uh, you know, put

on a suit, put on a tie if you can,

all right, because you know when you meet a prime

minister you will dress up like that. Right, when you

meet the sultan or the king, you will dress up properly, right,

you won't go casual.

Right, So you know that idea is similar.

You know when you meet the king of kings, dressed

up like you're going to meet the king.

Amen.

So yeah, it's not very comfortable. A lot of people

don't like that idea, and so same with me. I

had to go shopping by find the best deal. You

know that, don't don't blow your your bank account, so

all right, and so clothing on time. My hair, my

hair heay right, Same with with Adril. We had long

Adel had longer hair. You know before this, right, I

had to super like this long hair only because I

didn't want to spend money cutting my hair.

So that.

But but then it became like now I need to

have my I need to keep my hair, right. I

had money, really, I didn't still didn't want to cut

my hair, so because I also used to having that hair, right,

and so uh, nobody forced me to cut my hair.

Some comments that he really see very long, you know,

but eventually I felt, you know, like, okay, I need

to idea and so all these things.

Right, It's it's about identity, right you. You you have this.

Thing line, you know, this flesh, and because of oneting

to serve, I had to sacrifice, you know, I had

to obey I now you know, need to listen to

leaders and authority, and I just wanted to share this

bit of experience for all of us here, all right.

That Uh, then I had to go through that, and

I'm sure many different ones of you you're kind going

through a bit of that as well. All right, But

that's the part that's the price to pay. We want

to serve, We want to we need to align, We

need to know what the vision is.

Uh.

We we we are going through discipleship. And uh that's

kind of the message I want to share with us today,

all right, that why we serve and why we go

through this is because it's it's a process of discipleship.

You know, when the Bible tells us make disciples, how

do you make disciples? I mean, you can have all

the Bible study you want, but if there's no action,

there is no obedience. There is no Okay, I will

come on time because my leader told me to.

Then there's no there's no real discipleship. It's just talk.

It's just share good ideas from the Bible.

Right, But in into the life, you know, being part

of homes and serving and being part of church and

now someone challenging you. That's real. That's where it gets real,

isn't it. And uh, you know we have c CEC.

You remember you saw just now a video very good, right,

Prai Scott. But all these people they also go through

a process, right, And some of them come maybe thinking

I know a lot of things, how to teach children

and everything. But maybe the leaders say, hey, stop, I

don't want you to do this. You do this instead

do this other thing. Hey, but I'm so good in this.

Why don't you let me? I said no, because someone

else is already doing this, right, I want you to

go through this other thing.

Right.

Those of you who at a missions conference, you remember

the pastor Surias this story about like you know, they

want to join the tourist ministry.

She said go wash toilet first. Right, That's that's one

of their ways to do it, all right, we don't

follow here the wash line. All right, if we had

no just kidding, all right, then the X kids you

can start watching. But no, all right, all right, we're

not here to purposely make you do stuff like that

that is downright, you know, and dirty, but more like uh,

you know, like I said, there's people who join. Now

they have to listen and follow. All right.

There is authority, there's leadership, there's alignment. So anyway, let

me get into the Bible. X chapter six, verse one

to seven. All right, X Chapter six, verse one to seven.

You have bibles, you can turn with me. Okay, let's read.

X Chapter six ver was one two. All right, you're there,

all right, let's read. All right, I'll read it now.

In these days, when the disciples were increasing in number,

a complained by the Hellenists arose against the Hebrews because

their widows were being neglected in the daily distribution.

And the twelfth summoned.

The full number of the disciples and said, it is

not right that we should give up preaching the word

of God to serve tables. Therefore, brothers, pick out from

among you seven men of good repute, full of the

spirit and of wisdom, whom we will appoint to this duty,

but we will devote ourselves to prayer and to the

ministry of the Word. And what they said please the

whole gathering. And they chose Stephen, Stephen Stephan, all right,

a man full of faith and of the Holy Spirit.

And Philip and pro.

Procons there is you know, pro chorus, all right, Nico Noor,

Timon Parmenas and Nicolas proselyte from Antio. Okay, these they

said before the apostles, and they prayed and laid their

hands on them. And the word of God continued to increase,

and the number of the disciples multiplied greatly in Jerusalem,

and a great many of the priests became obedient to

the faith. Harley lujah. So we look at this X

chapter six, verse one seven. What do we see here?

So what's going on is there's a need, their needs, right,

and so you know, the apostles were trying to meet

the needs. And so one of the he challenged, they

challenged the people, right, Uh, you know, can someone else

step up and help? Because we need to concentrate on

what we need to do, all right, And I wanna

say this here to us as well this morning, ex

church cybergaya, right, there are many things to be there

are many needs to be mad. And although sometimes we

see all right, we look around and go, hey, everything's

in place, right right. We've got the sound guys there,

they're sitting there right all every Sunday we see, you know,

this guy's there, so final.

I think everything is filled up really right?

Good ex kids, got four teachers today, all right, look

at the expresso table, nicely place already all done, flag

up there, all right, well done, all right, expresso team.

Uh and uh you know we see c CEC we

have a praise report. All good, right, everyone is doing

their stuff, and so do I still need to be

part of it? Do I still need to contribute? I

tell you the truth. Yes, yes you still need to.

We still need to because there's so much more to

be done. A man, all right, and I want to

I want to say again, you know, excit with Jaya.

We're not limited to the one hundred people who are

here only every Sunday. There's many more that needs to

be reached. There's many more that need to come to

a church. And sometimes you know, if we see the

seats all full already, then naturally you've got to a

fool real you need to come, all right. So you

know that's where we might want to go with next church.

Brant all right, where and when?

All right?

But what I'm saying is the church needs to serve.

Everyone in the church needs to think about that. Where

can I serve?

You know?

You know if you go with statistics, you know, with

many many different churches, right, many times we will see

twenty percent serving the eighty percent. All right, Praise God.

Ext church is at a better place at least you

know in Xabajaya. You know, I think there's definitely more

than twenty percent serving, all right. But you know we

have a vision. We spoke about this before in one

of our leaders meetings. You say, we don't see twenty

percent serving the eighty percent, but we want to see

it eighty percent serving the twenty percent. We call this

the key health indicators. Is the church healthy if we

if we can see eighty percent serving you know, the

twenty percent, who are the new people. Maybe they're new,

they just came, all right, no risk you the some time, right,

But then eighty percent serving the twenty percent.

That is healthy, Amen, hallelujah. And so.

That's what we want to see and I want to

encourage you, all right, don't you know, don't just hear

what I say and then you feel like, you know,

I'm pushing you or something like that, although I kind

of am. But you know, go by what the Holy

Spirit is leading you to do.

Amen.

I really love what Ninya told me the other day,

you know, because you know we need many more singers laugh,

you know, and worship leaders, and we know Ninya can sing.

So we've been asking you, how, Nina, when will you

join you know, the extreme team.

But you know what her reply to me is, he said,

she said, let me pray for us.

Wow, all right, that's that's that's the right way, all right,

seek the Lord, right, let me pray because she's involved

with many many other teams and so she doesn't want

to just leave the team and say, yeah, I gotta

sing right now, right, so goodbye other teams all right,

because they're all important as well.

So I really love that response.

And she said, let me get in to pray for this,

and then if I do need to step down from

other teams, I want to do it properly. And that's

the right way. That is discipleship. Amen, hallelujah. So thanks

Ninya for doing that. I was so inspired just by

hearing the response, you know, from her, And so I

want to encourage all of us to do similar.

All right, pray, pray about it. God, Where do you

want me to serve? God?

Where do you want my children to serve? How do

you want us to serve? And go by what the

spirit of God is telling you, because that is more

powerful than what I'm telling you. All right And you say, oh,

just because pass jack La tell me to do it,

so I do. Then it's like I rather not all right,

I am encouraging you from the word of God, but

I want you, I want to encourage you to be

led by God and where He wants you to be,

where He wants you to serve. And I believe that's

even more powerful. And you know you're going to change

many lives through that because He is going to be

with you.

Amen, everyone, okay, all right? And of course.

You know when you want to start serve, this is

where you know we our church will continue to do

this like for example, actually I just did up the

form for our choir.

Yeah yeah, yeah.

All right, So our homes leaders all right to just

send it into their homes group and right, it doesn't

have to be now, you know, but sometime this week

and say, anyone who wants to sign up, you can

fill in the form. All right, And we also thought

about doing this. Now we're going to add a percussion group.

All right, maybe start with children because you're going to

buy the children percussion.

Because the real stuff is quite expensive.

In like two hundred and three hundred year like what okay, anyway,

but the children said, still good, We'll go with that first.

Let the children start, all right, but listen, when you

see the former, you see the form, you will see

homes coode. Ah, there's this way because that's what I'm

saying here. When we encourage serving, we are also encourage

encouraging discipleshit all right, you've gotta something has to change,

that something has to be given up because you're giving

a sacrifice of praise to God.

And so homes Coode is there.

And then there's a there's a bit of a you know,

disclaimer that that says uh uh there will be uh

you know, an audition percussion h h choet. All right,

don't worry. I don't expect you to sing like who

are the famous singers nowadays. I don't know anyway, Michael

Jackson or anything.

All right. It's like so old school gone okay, all right?

Uh and Sharon okay, okay, all right, or super shy.

You know, I don't expect you to sing like those, okay,

but there will be some audition just to know what

will come out of you when you sing, all right,

Just to know all right, and also the percussion, right

if this person is not.

Going to hit it all right, a bit more to

the beat, all right. I'm not expecting like what they

call studio, you know, metronome, but.

Just to know where you are at.

You know, all these assessments are there just to check where

this person is at.

And then if you need more training, ah, then we

see if we can provide it. All right. So what

was I saying? Yeah, so serving is is where we

do discipleship.

Yeah, and uh, that's where we might also go with

like all right, if you're going to join the choir

into dress up a.

Bit la all right. Uh.

And you know recently I had one person say they

wanted to play the cahn uh and uh, you know

this was a kid, and so I said, oh, okay,

because I know this person, I said, okay, I'll put

your probation first.

I talked to the I spoke to the parents. Put

on probation first.

What this person will do is just come for the

practice only and play one song at the practice. After

that you go back to where you stand with your parents.

I won't put you on so fast, all right, and

you know quite quite good, you know, okay, let's do that.

And then when this person came right brought the cah

and everything played, you know, together for the practice. And

uh then I said, oh, you're in shorts.

Practice only a right kill this, you know, some slack.

But I said in shorts, said next time, next time,

dress up.

A little bit more, all right, because can be blink

on with shorts.

I'm preparing this person because when the time they actually

will be playing, you can suddenly say it no no, no,

no no shots all this one you practice have can shorts,

but now cannot.

It's like, all right, dress up a little bit.

So I can see that, you know, and this this

this person is child. It's like Mommy could bring my

long pans. I can see meaning they are willing, they

are willing to be molded. They're willing you know pass

I knd of told me this before.

You know.

It's like we're like clay, and if we're willing, then

we can mold the clay, all right. If not, if

you don't hand the clay all right to the person

who can help mold you, then no molding.

All right.

We always say I want only Jesus to mold, mean,

but Jesus wants to use.

The people around us to mold. Right.

He loves the people, He trusts his people, his leaders,

all right, And that's why we're around now right. Otherwise

you can go straight to heaven and get molded by Jesus,

all right.

That's why we're still here. We're molding one another. Amen.

Iron sharpens iron, right, Okay, all right, Wow, I don't

think I have much time. Let me see, right, so

let's just yeah, let's just read the Bible a little

bit more, huh. All right, I'm going to go to

Matthew twenty verse seventeen to nineteen. Everyone doing, all right,

you're getting something here, yeah, you.

Know, more and more.

I also want to speak you know, as the you know,

as the pastor of this house, all right, you know,

and not just give you Bible knowledge, but I want

to share with you real stuff, okay, real stuff that

help mold us, help make disciples of us. And I believe,

you know that's what the Holy Spirit is leading me

to do. So anyway, Matthew twenty seventeen to nineteen talks

about suffering, right, and that Jesus.

Okay, let's just read it right.

Verse seventeen says, here and as Jesus was going up

to Erusalem, he took the twelve disciples aside, and on

the way he said to them, see, we are going

up to Jerusalem, and the son of Man will be

delivered over to the chief priests and scribes, and they

will be condemned. Sorry, they will condemn him to death

and deliver him over to the gentiles to be mocked

and flogged and crucified, and he will be raised on

the third day.

Now listen.

In Verse seventeen says that Jesus, you know, they were

going up and then he took them aside. I want

to tell you that, you know, Jesus wants to take

us aside to speak to us, and he you know,

he's waiting to do that to many of us, and

he's probably doing that to many of us already, but

he wants to us, take us aside and tell us something.

And what is he telling us when he tells us

something like what he's telling them, He's telling them something amazing.

All right, listen to this. It might have just flown

by our heads. All right. What we just heard Jesus say.

Right, He's going to Jerusalem, he says, and the son

of Man will be delivered over to the cheap priests.

He is predicting his death. You know that nobody can

predict their death like this. It is so specific, all right?

How specific is this? He truly is the son of

God because there's no other religious leaders who can predict

their death like this. Jesus can. And it actually happens

exactly how he says it, all right. And that's why

he and he has no problems with going through that death,

because he knows what's at the end, after the death,

after the suffering, this resurrection, and that's why he's at

peace to go through it. Now, let's see how specific

this is, right, He delivered through the chief priests and

the scribes, which is, you know, his own people, the

Jews delivered there. And then what happens they will condemn him.

You read the gospel right, read at the end when

he what he actually goes through is this is exactly.

And they condemn him, but they cannot kill him by themselves,

and so they deliver him to the gentiles.

Who are the gentiles the Romans. He was delivered to

the Romans because.

They have the torture facilities, right, and so delivered over

to them. And what happened, and he says it very

specific gain to be mocked, And you see in the

gospel that Jesus was mocked, slap, was spat on, right,

made fun of all right, They gambled, you know, to

get his clothes.

They poked him, they tortured him, and they mocked him.

Flog this is one we know, right, forty was it

forty forty stripes?

Right?

Flogged and crucified. Crucified. You know that he doesn't have

to die by crucifixion. There are many ways to die,

and all that time in the Roman torture ways. But

how did he manage to predict that? He knew it's

he knew, he knew he could see her head. It

was probably already planned by God. This is the way,

and so that's why he's able to predicted. I want

to tell you that Jesus knows the future. He knows

how everything is going to happen. He knows how he's

going to die. So he knows how you're going to die.

So you want to know how you're.

Going to die?

You ask him, all right, and ask him for a

pleasant whaler you can, right, Lord, I want to be

around my family, right, ask ask for a good way,

all right, not a horrible one, because the Lord can

do that for us.

Amen. Right? And so.

This is amazing, and God wants to tell us something amazing.

When he tells you something, he pulls you aside, tells you.

He wants to tell you what you're gonna do. Yeah,

maybe there's some suffering, but I want to tell you something.

And then what they say in the end. Hey, always

sometimes we so focused on the crucified, the mocking, the flogging, like,

oh Lord, and no one, no one is, but thet's

it and he will be, everyone saying together raised on

the third day, he'll be raised back to life. That

is amazing, right, how can you even predict that? But

he's got no right, So listen, we hear the suffering part.

We hear the flogging, the mocking. But then let's hear

the last part as well. There will be resurrection, there

will be hope.

There's hope.

So whatever suffering we're going to go through, you're going

to surf on a choir. You've gotta wake up in

the morning like, ah, my breakfast, my sleep. You feel

like I'm being flogged. I'm gonna play what I like

to play, and then passon. Jacks won't tell me, don't

play like that this you know play you know? Yeah,

it's too loud, right, can you change?

Right? Then it's like, oh.

Puss Jack is mocking me and flogging me or whoever

a right, okay, and then say, but wait, there's resurrection.

Wait, there's hope.

You will die to yourself and then when you will

be raised up again as a new creation, hallelujah, new creation.

Amen. I will not play the same anymore.

I will not sing the same anymore, because after the

death and I rise up again and revived again, I

am a new person, and I serve differently. I speak differently,

all right, I come on time like different. I won't

have any problems with that. After this, and when I

go to union, I go to work, it's normal. Coming

on time, coming early is normal, because I do that

in church.

Right. And then you hear your friends complaining, you know,

why so early? Why later? Bit so cannot say, but

but that's right, that's the right thing to do, all right,

And and uh, you know, sooner or later someone's gonna

trust you because you can. You have discipline. That's where

what disciple comes from.

Right, you've disciplined, You're able to because I've learned this

in church. Let's learn it in church. Why you want

to learn anywhere else, right, Let's learn it in church.

Let's train in church. And when we go out there.

I learned this from the House of God. I learned

this from the House of God. How to speak right,

how to live right, how to encourage someone else, how

to lead?

We do it in church. Amen, they're gonna close soon,

all right.

You know the next parts of this, we just summarize it.

Verse twenty to twenty four. You will see the mother,

all right, of the sons of Zebedee. He says, here

came to Jesus and says, you know, Jesus, put them

at your left and your right hand. She's asking for status,

you know. But you know, many times we want status,

we want position, but we don't know what price we.

Have to pay for it.

Actually we know that, but a lot of people want

to avoid the suffering and the difficult part and go

straight to the status. Right, But there's a price to pay,

all right. And yeah, I'll move on to the last

parts here, which is verse twenty five to twenty eight.

I'll read that for us twenty five to twenty eight.

But Jesus called them to him and said, you know

that the rulers of the gentiles lauded over them, and

there are great ones exercise authority over them. It shall

not be so among you. But whoever would be great

among you must be your servant, and whoever would be

first among you, must be your slave. Even as the

Son of Man came not to be served, but to serve,

and to give his life as a ransom for many.

All right, So you know, the word of God here

tells us. You know, if we want to if we

want to see resurrection, we want to see hope, there

is some suffering involved.

You know.

The world encourages us to look for status and to

fight for our rights, but.

That is not why the word of God tells us to.

Do yeah, you want to be in a position there

is a price.

To pay, all.

Right, you want to instead of rights, we do what

is right instead. And then finally, here Jesus says, even Jesus,

who is of high position. Right, he's the son of God.

He says, I'm here to serve. I'm here to serve.

So if we follow our lord. Jesus is our lord. Yeah,

he's our master. Then let's follow him. He serves. Therefore

we serve, and he says, here to give his life

as a ransom for many.

What is ransom? My kids keep asking me Thatay, we

read the Bible together, ransom? Say what's ransom? Daddy? They

keep thinking about kidnapping.

You know, right, you have to pay ransom money right

by payment not ransom has to do with payment. There's

a price to pay, and so Jesus hay is a

price for many. And so the same thing with us

when we serve, there is a price to pay. There

is a price to pay the men, and to some

of us, you know, the price to pay feels very heavy.

But I want to tell you there is hope. There

is resurrection, all right, So let's focus on the reward.

The good thing all right, so that when you suffer,

it's just for that moment. You know, the people who

run one hundred meter race, they suffer, they run, they

train like crazy just for the few seconds, right to

run that one hundred meter race. And even in that race,

they're running like crazy, they're losing their breath, they're running,

their muscles are hurting, and that's suffering. But when they

reach the end, that's the gold medal and that's so much.

That's all worth it through all that suffering. So I

want to tell you, you know, we're all in a race together. Yeah,

and they're suffering. That's on pain involved, right, but it's

worth it. It's worth it.

Amen. Tell your neighbor it's worth it. Amen.

That's a reminder us again. Right, So now you pray,

you pray and seek God for where he wants you

to serve or continue to serve.

Amen.

There's so many platforms that we have, all right. There

is the the you know, the the communities that we're reaching.

There is the worship band that we need more people,

all right. There is the Expresso team.

You know.

Uh, I was just we were just talking about the

Expressow team right. Currently they're doing a wonderful, amazing job

they prepare you know, really well. But we think we're

saying we're talking about even like, what if we have

people who are called the front of house of expresso,

who will firstly tell the people who have been here

very long, the food.

Is not for you. Oh you've one made really amazing

nail and she offered me to tastey like okay, but anyway, yeah, yeah,

so they'll say, hey, food is for the newcomers. Come,

let's serve the new ones first. Yeah.

Uh and uh then I mean I'm thinking heyl, Right,

what if one day we have options, right, tea, coffee

or whatever, Right then the front of house can take

orders or would you like to drink? I mean, let

me make that for you? All right, let's let our

kitchen prepare that for you. You know, the front house

we wear apron whatever is like you know you you so,

so there's so many things that we can do.

All right. In the church, we hope you've.
