And if We invite you back, you’d every opportunity that you may have to be with us. We are studying concerning worship And Specifically we are studying concerning preaching and teaching. At this point in time, We’re studying concerning those things that are spoken of as being the Apostle’s doctrine, their preaching and teaching to those in the first century. And as you think, concerning preaching and teaching, as we’ve been, as we’ve defined worship. And as we’ve been thinking concerning the subject of preaching and teaching preaching and teaching is worship, it is the intention to teach it instruct one another. Yes, but it is also worship to God. And the way that we go about doing that and the reason reasoning that we have for doing that. And so in order to conclude this particular part of our study, concerning worship, I want us to consider there are preparations that have to be made in order for us to be ready, to worship both in preaching and in teaching. And so I want us to consider that we must …

Certainly appreciate, appreciate you being here this evening. As they say it was raining up a storm just a few minutes ago, and now it’s not doing anything out there, but that’s okay. We’re glad you’re able to be here. And I intended to let you know what you could read for tonight. Sorry, Barb. And I thought of it as we were seeing the invitation song. And by the time we got finished, I forgot about it, but I will let you know before we get started that I don’t know if you noticed or not, but I noticed this morning that my voice was cracking. We were complimenting how that this is the first time in a long time. I’ve preached the gospel median and my throat was fine the whole week long. And, but it decided to let me know that I preached the gospel meeting last week and I needed to be careful. So because of that, we’re going to try to tone down the intensity. They’ll probably it. Wasn’t going to be very great tonight anyway, but also we will be limiting our time this evening, probably more so than normal. Anyway, open up your Bibles with me. If you will, to Hebrews chapter four, Hebrews chapter four, we’re going to notice part one tonight of what the Hebrews writer speaks of here in this particular chapter. When he says, let us Horace, by the very fact that he’s saying, let us, that means it’s …

We are certainly grateful for your presence.<inaudible> With the temperatures being a little more elevated than what they have been. Certainly glad that more are able to be out. Even though we have several that are suffering in one form or another include myself, But Hopefully this too shall pass For those that are going to be here tonight. Let me encourage you to read the 119th Psalm Psalm one 19 is what we are be concentrating on this evening this morning. I want us to look at the question and attempt to answer the question where is ZBT open your Bibles with me? If you will, to mark chapter one, we’re going to read verses 14 through 20. We have a parallel account that’s given to us in Matthew chapter four, verses 18 through 22 and a partial account given to us in Luke chapter five, verses one through 11. But I want us to notice what mark tells us here in verses 14 through 20 now, after the John was put in prison, Jesus came into Galilee preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God and saying the time is fulfilled. And the kingdom of God is at hand repent, ye and believe the gospel. Now, as he walked by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew, his brother casting a net into the sea for, they were fishers. And Jesus said unto them, come after me. And I will make you to become fishers of …

For your presence. We know that there are many who were not able to be out this morning because of the weather, but we are glad that you Were determined to be here. And that it was of such a nature that you were able to be here as well. Before we get into the lesson, ask you to be remembering brother, Larry Turner. He is under the weather. He’s not feeling good. And sister Carolyn called last night to let us know that he would not be able to be here. So we certainly want to remember him in our prayers, as well as all the others that we’ve been making mention of. It’s good to have with us, our middle son, Nathan, with us this morning, whom most all of you are very well familiar with. He came down yesterday in order to get a load of wood to take back. Cause his woodpile is diminishing and with the weather predictions, the way that they were, and the fact that his wife and daughters are passing around all kinds of crud, his wife said, why don’t you just stay down there until Monday? Of course, that was after he got down here. He wasn’t planning to stay. He was going back last night. So anyway, he’s going to stay til Monday. And because of that, I thought, well, this would be a good opportunity to let him preach. So he’s going to plan to preach for us tonight …

Certainly grateful for your attendance this evening. And a couple of announcements that we need to make before we get started in our lesson. One is a reminder that the ladies are planning to meet, to discuss concerning the meal for Tuesday after our worship this evening. And what down here, Linda, where are you wanting to meet Down front? Okay. So don’t forget that men were going to need some help in moving some furniture, especially the Lord’s table out of the way, get that out of the way and this stuff over here. So we could use a couple of hands with that. And if you can help with that, we would greatly appreciate it. I didn’t write all this stuff down. I knew, I remember it seems like there was one other thing. Pardon? Oh yeah. If you have pillows or something in the Pew, you may want to go ahead into move those someplace else. I don’t know because I wasn’t here, but I understand with Vivian’s funeral that was here, there were like over 500 people that came through for the visitation. So we’re gonna need all the seating capacity that we can have for those that are going to stick around. Yes, Richard, I think that’s been done. I think so in order to make use of all the chairs, but also get as much eating space that’s available because again, last year or with Vivian’s funeral, which was not here, but I understand …
