We’ll collect those when our services are over so that we can ever record of your visit. It’s. And I want us to spend some time studying concerning the Providence of God. The Providence of God. When you look at the word Providence, literally it means provide Ants, Provide ENTs, which simply means the idea of foresight that God, through his foresight is going to provide those things that are necessary. Those things that are desired, and it has to do with God’s intervention in the affairs of life. Amen. I want us to begin first of all, by noticing some false ideas concerning God’s Providence That are out there. The first one is the idea of deism. Deism is the idea that God, in no way, intervenes With mankind, it is The idea that God created the world. They acknowledge the God created the world, but ever since he created the world, it’s been a hands-off policy. He’s had absolutely nothing to do with our world since the time of the creation In promoting that they refer Fuse to recognize. First of all, that the Bible is the revelation of they’ve refused to recognize that Concerning the deity of Jesus Christ deity in flesh, when he dwells Among …

Again, we do have a potluck dinner that is scheduled for after we are dismissed and everyone is encouraged to stay for that if at all possible. And we made mention Wednesday night that yes, we know that we had one Last Sunday with our gospel meetings, But Larry Turner assured me that he’d be able to handle two in a row. And I told him, I thought I could too. So we’re looking forward to that. He’s already informed me if you see him sneaking out, it’s because of this, he’s already checked things out back here and he said it smells really, really good. And so just, just keep an eye on him, but make sure you’re listening to me. Okay. Okay. I did have a good gospel meeting this last week with bro. The Terry Joe Key. Some of you have asked if I’ve heard anything from him since he left Thursday morning. The answer is no.

And for that, we are truly grateful. Hope that you’ll come back at every opportunity that you have. We’re studying a series of sermons concerning worship. What is worship? What is involved in worship? According to the scriptures, a lot of people have the idea that they can do whatever they want to. And God’s going to accept it as being worship and yet going all the way back to the garden, or shortly after the garden of Eden with Cain and Abel, we find out that’s not true. God did not accept Cain’s sacrifice, but he did accept Abel’s sacrifice. And so we’re studying concerning singing. What does the word of God teach concerning scene? The scripture that we’re using as the foundation for this lesson, these lessons of course, is John chapter four, verse 24, where Jesus himself says, God is a spirit. And they, that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. And we’ve noted almost every time. I think, concerning the statement that Jesus makes that those who are going to worship God, acceptably are those who Jesus says must worship him in spirit. And in truth to worship in spirit is to worship in the right frame of mind, to worship God in truth is to worship him according …

Certainly, I appreciate you being here and such a beautiful first day of the week. Certainly there are other places we know that you could be if you so chose, but we’re glad that you chose to be here in order to worship. Couple of announcements, I may have mentioned to you this morning that I had texted brother Ivy to see how he was doing. He texted back about 15 minutes after we left the house and I don’t bring my cell phone with me normally to the building. So when we got home, we found that he said, he’s doing good, that the doctor has instructed him, that he is to speak slowly and he is to speak softly and Linda is loving it. So that’s really all the information I got concerning it, but it sounds like things are progressing nicely. For those of you who don’t know, some of you’ve already made mention of it this morning, because you found out in other ways, but anyway, this week starting today, I think it was, or at least it starts tomorrow. There is a lectureship at the Crider congregation, which is outside of West Plains, not far from where gospel Hill is. And they invited me to speak tomorrow night. So I’ll be speaking tomorrow night there at the Crider congregation. Also, if you noticed on the bulletin board out there, there is a gospel meeting that’s also going on next week at the highway one 60 …
