My goodness, this week has been so packed with really great things. God is, look, God is God is moving. God is doing great things. Great things among the young people. God is just doing great things. Period. I tell you, I’m so grateful to the Lord because ministry can be very um draining as as I think the definition of the word really is ministry.

It can be very very much uh costly to your heart and to your mind. Um but it’s also the most exhilarating and thrilling and meaningful and purposeful thing in the whole world is to see what God’s doing in people’s lives. It’s awesome. And um I am delighted. Uh I pray that God would just keep my heart and your heart in the right place and that we would be people um honoring you even in the midst of the things that you know are most likely uh the world is heading very quickly uh in a prescribed direction that the

Lord knows the Lord of hosts, the Lord of heaven, the Lord of earth uh in Bible prophecy. My goodness, the the think of it this way that the the chess board is no doubt about it being arranged for the last days uh and great events to unfold. And we may we may very well I believe we are uh very soon to see some some tremendous thing by God where he um does a work does it work in our lives and um hang on one second everybody I just lost my screen that’s okay I can I can come close enough to quoting it uh today so but uh good

morning to all of you and uh here we here. Our co Okay. 550 502 this morning. Uh our prayer verse uh this morning is Revelation chapter 1 uh verse 17 and 18. And it’s it’s basically this verse. Um John uh is hearing and writing down what what he knows now is to be Jesus speaking. And the scripture there announces that um Jesus Christ is the the Lord.

He is the he is the one who is the alpha and the omega. In fact, collectively that one speaking to John in Revelation 11:17 and 18 is the one who is the alpha and the omega. He is the beginning and the end. He’s the first and the last. In that portion of scripture, it says that I am the one who was alive and I died and I’m alive forever more.

And a lot of people will ask the question, wow, that’s a that’s an amazing thing. Who can that be? U friends, listen, there’s only one person uh that it can be, and that is none other than than Jesus Christ himself. And um that’s that’s who that is. And uh I love the fact that the all of those attributes that are referenced to God um the alpha and the omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last um all of these tremendous descriptions and names and titles of the almighty God of the Old Testament is all culminated not only in Revelation

chapter 1, you can look at verse 11, but it’s verses 17 and 18. And then again, Revelation 2:es 4-8. Jesus Christ is the one who is the alpha and the omega. He is the first and the last. And he is the one who was, who is, who is to come. It’s him. And then, and then in Revelation 11:17 and 18, I’m the one I am all these things.
