# Rejoicing in Heaven

November 24, 2025

…the religious church crowd, those that looked like they had it together. Is that what I said? Who drew near to Jesus? The publicans and sinners. Can I just be honest with you? Is the crowd that is smoking, the crowd that is drinking, cursing? That is just an honest truth. One that had… you know, a different color every week of the week, every day of the week for the hair, you know, the tattoos—all that is the equivalent of our day and time.

Let us read it again. “Then drew near unto him all those who were popular, had a good personality. Everybody liked him. That made him look good.” James is shaking his head over there. Either that, he has got a twitch in his neck. I am not sure which. Look what it says about Jesus: “Then drew near unto him all the publicans, sinners, the messed-up people, to hear him.” Now, let me just say that he had a purpose for being around. It was not just to hang out with them; there was a purpose to it, and he gets to that, but there is a purpose to it. By the way, I like it that the common people heard him gladly. I like that.

Verse number two. And the Pharisees—okay, here are the religious churchgoers. We have everything together. Downtown crowd, if you will. And the Pharisees and scribes murmured, saying, “This man receiveth sinners and eateth with him.” Wow. Wow. Now, he goes on a little bit. We are going to talk about that here. But let us pray. Let us just try to grasp the heartbeat of God here a little bit. All right, let us do that. Would you pray that God would help us to do that?

Father, we do ask, would you share your heart with us tonight? Father, help me to get mine in tune with you. And then, Lord, would you bring us all closer in tune with your heart? I need that; we need that. Lord, you know, all the pull of this world and life and problems seems to pull us away from that. Lord, get us back to your heartbeat. And we will thank you, Lord, for what you do. Father, we are asking for that. In the name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.

So you get it. You get it. Jesus is hanging around. Oh, that is not the right word. They are coming to him. There is a purpose in it. They are coming to him—all the publicans and sinners. And then the religious elite start, “Well, why is he over there? He is hanging out with the sinners. He is eating with them.” And look what Jesus says about it. Tell you what, let us do this. I am going to read from verse number three down through verse number 10, and then we will go back and dissect it a little bit. All right? Let us start verse number three.

Here we go, verse number three: “And he spake this parable unto them, saying, What man of you, having an hundred sheep, if he lose one of them, doth not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until he found it?” He hathed it on his shoulders rejoicing. “When he cometh home, he calleth together his friends and neighbors, saying unto them, Rejoice with me; for I have found my sheep which was lost.” I am saying to you that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance. “Doth a certain woman having ten pieces of silver, if she lose one piece, doth not light a candle, and sweep the house, and seek diligently till she find it? And when she hath found it, she calleth her friends and her neighbors together, saying, Rejoice with me; for I have found the piece which I had lost.” Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth.

Now, let us go back through this thing. All right? I am just going to give an overview. And let us go back now to verse number three. Verse number three, he is answering their questions. They are complaining; they are murmuring. And he says, “I am going to give you a parable.” Now, a parable is an earthly story that has a heavenly meaning. I like it that Jesus spoke just everyday language. Let me tell you a story, an illustration. People relate to illustration. That is what he is doing. Let me tell you some stories here that will give you some meaning to. Here is the first story.

All right, here is the first parable, verse number four. “What man of you having an hundred sheep, if he lose…” What is the next word? You sure does not say a hundred or two? If he lose… there has got to be more, maybe 20, right? What does it say? If he lose what? What does the Bible say? Lose just one. Just one.

He has a hundred sheep. He loses one. “Doth not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness.” Go after that which is lost until he find… What is the next word? Is that it? Does that represent a couple hundred or a couple thousand? Is that what it represents? Just one.

Now, I think, my thinking is this: the first story he is giving is really a wonderful representation of Jesus Christ. He is John 10; he is the Good Shepherd. Over there in Psalms, he is the Great Shepherd; he is the Chief Shepherd. He is the Shepherd. And he loses one, and it is interesting, he leaves the ninety and nine. And he goes after one. By the way, are not you glad he went after you? Praise the Lord for that right there. Wonderful thing.

By the way, it is interesting. Notice what he says. He says there, he does not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness. That is dangerous. He leaves sheep in the woods. I mean, coyotes or wolves could get them. And in the Bible over there, they have lions. But can I just say this? If the shepherd is all about money and business, that would not make sense. That would be a bad business deal. You have got 99, and you are going to leave the 99, put them in danger, and go after that one over there. Business-wise, money-wise, that does not make sense, does it? It kind of shows you that the shepherd is not concerned about the numbers—how many, how many just people that do not need repentance. They may have a thousand or three; he is not really concerned about all that. He is concerned about somebody reaching the one. Come on now, that is what it is talking about.

He says it very clearly: he left the ninety and nine. They do not need anything; they have it all together, but he is going after that one. By the way, can I just say something here? He is not really concerned about how much our offering is and all that. He is concerned that we take that and a building and all that and reach somebody. Not about us having a great number so we go, “Hey, our church is running this.” It is about somebody somewhere that is out there, and we go through the blood of Jesus and the Spirit of God and reach the lost sheep. Come on now. Friend, at the end of the day, that is what matters. That is what he is talking about here. That is what it is getting to.

Let us keep going here. And he says, “You want to complain about who I am hanging around, but the Good Shepherd left the 99 that do not need anything, and he went after that lost one.” That is what he is saying. He is answering their murmuring about him hanging around trying to reach somebody. Amen. Exactly what is going on.

What does he say? Verse number four. “What man of you having an hundred sheep, if you lose one of them, doth not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness and go after that which is lost?” Watch this, watch this. Until he what? But he… that kind of reminds you, “He came to seek and to save that which is lost.” This shepherd here, I do not know. The Bible does not tell us how many sleepless nights that represent. Maybe it was a night. I do not know how many meals he went without, but he said, “I am going to go until I find that lost sheep.” You can say what you want. “I am hanging around. What all I am doing.” You can talk about it all you want, but I am going to go after that until I find that lost sheep.

It is amazing to me sometimes that those that say love, love, love, grace, grace, grace, and they are not out winning souls. It seems like if you are all about love and grace, you ought to be reaching a lost sheep somewhere. That is what he is talking about. Exactly what he is talking about.

Let us keep going. Let us just kind of find out more how he answers this crowd here. What is the next verse here? Verse number five. “And when he found it…” By the way, it was not when he found 30 or 40, 50 or 100 or thousands, no one. He found just one. “When he found it, he layeth it on his shoulders, rejoicing.”

Here is the amazing thing to me. Hey, I am so glad he left the ninety and nine and went after this old boy. And then when he found me, when we got saved, if you will, I still had a whole lot of issues and a whole lot of problems. And you know what he does? He picks us up and he puts us on his shoulders. And you think, “Man, he is always carrying me. He is always helping me through. He is always covering. He is always forgiving. He is always welcoming back.” And to think about it, he puts them on his shoulders, and then he rejoices about it. He likes to carry you, friend. He enjoys it. He went after all those ninety and nine, and he found that sheep and put… Pray, Lord, he found it. We talked about, “Well, I found the Lord.” No, no, he found you. And then he put us on his shoulders, and we think, “Well, he must be bothered by me.” And he says, “I am glad to carry the weight of your life on my shoulders.” He rejoices. Pretty good shepherd, is not it? Man, I like that. That is what he is telling them. He is answering their criticism.

Let us keep going on. Verse number six. “And when he cometh home, he calleth together his friends and neighbors, saying unto them…” Can I call a time out for just a second here? If this represents Jesus, and I think it does, he is the Good Shepherd. And when he goes home, what did you say over there in John 14? “Let not your heart be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me. I go to my Father’s house.” And when he goes home, what does it do? So, if you will, it is representing Jesus. He is standing at the right hand of the Father right now. And what is he doing? Look at this thing here. “When he cometh home, he called together his friends and neighbors, saying unto them, Rejoice with me; for I have found…” Not 20, 30, 40, 100, thousand dollars. He said, “When I found my sheep which was lost.” Here is the picture: Jesus the Shepherd, he is home, and he says, “Hey, look down there. That child in the Junior Department asked Jesus to be his Savior. Come over here, Gabriel. Stop all that. Quit all that. We have got something important. Come over here, Michael. Come over here, the saints. Come over here. I want to show you. Look down there, right there. Hey, so-and-so that is in heaven—that is what is a big deal.”

And that is what Peter says when the gospel is being preached and the Spirit is working, that the angels desire to look into that right there. You know, Peter talks about that. And it represents, he said, “Hey, everybody come over here. Look down there. That fellow that was not saved, pray Lord, just got found.”

Look at the next verse. “I say unto you,” he says, “here is the moral of the story. Here is what it is all about. I am saying, do likewise.” Joy shall be in heaven over one. Friend, do not get caught up on how big we are, how big we are not, or how big the church is across town, or how big this group of people are and all the rest of that, or how many of the contemporaries are running and all. Who cares about all that? Are you reaching somebody? That is what he is trying to get.

He says, “I say unto you that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one, just one, one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons which need no repentance.” They do not need all that. I am going to go find that one. That is what we are talking about. Boy, he is giving a pretty strong answer to those that are murmuring and complaining about him hanging out with those people to reach somebody, or them hanging out with him, I should say, for a purpose of reaching somebody.

Let us keep going. That is the first story he gives about the shepherd. Now watch this next one here. Y’all still with me? Look at this next verse. Verse number eight. Verse number eight. He says, “Doth a certain woman…” Now, that is the shepherd. Now he is talking about a woman. Help me out. Help me out. Jesus is the Groom, and the church is his what? Help me out. Should a bride be a woman or not? You have heard it said it is not Adam and Steve; it is Adam and Eve. Amen.

I think it is a good representation here of the church. Jesus, he came to seek and save that which is lost. He is sitting at the right hand of the Father; he is home, if you will. He said, “Even as the Father has sent me, even so send I you.” It is the church age, friend. What are we supposed to be doing? Well, let us look at the story. How was he answering them about complaining about, “Well, you are here, Brother Josh, you are over there visiting all those publicans and sinners and, you know, trying to get their kids on the bus. Tim and Jennifer doing the same thing.” And that is kind of what is going on here. Jesus told the parable about the shepherd that left the 99, went out in the wilderness, found that woman. He was going to look until he found it. Now he is getting to this woman. Watch what about this woman. I think he is a good representation of the church. “Doth a certain woman having ten pieces of silver…”

Now, we do not know. We do not know. There is a debate about what that silver represents or the value of it. Some will say that silver, it is about a day’s wage. All right. Now, if your brother Chip… A day’s wage is probably about $500 or maybe $1,000. I do not know. I am teasing with it there. Or if you are like us, you know, I do not know. Maybe it is $200. We do not know. But maybe a day’s wage, some will say. Some will say the pieces of silver there are kind of like the dowry that she got when she was married. And sometimes they would have coins like that. One side, it would have the family emblem, if you will; on the other side, one side, the husband’s; on the other side, the wife’s little family emblem on that, and that is when they got married. They had these ten coins. Some will say that. We are not sure if that is what it represents. The value is about like a quarter, you know, financially valued, not much, but a whole lot of meaning to it. Maybe that is what it represents. We are not sure. But she has got 10 pieces of silver here, all right? And look what it says, verse eight: “Doth a certain woman having ten pieces of silver, if she lose one piece…” How many did she lose? How many did she lose? Just one.

You know, at the beginning of the church, we used to print on pretty much everything. We printed and made it a difference: one person at a time. If I am not careful, I get caught up on everything going on around here, and I lose that—just a burden for one. It is just one person truly gets saved. I do not want to lose that. I want it to be the heartbeat. I believe that is the heartbeat of God. And this lady, she lost these 10 pieces—excuse me, she had 10 pieces. She just lost one.

Watch what happens. Watch what happens. “Doth a certain woman having ten pieces of silver, if she lose one piece, doth not light a candle.” We do not know that it is at nighttime, maybe in daytime, but a lot of their houses are very dark inside there. But she says, “We are going to do whatever needs to be done. I am going to light a candle.” You know, “Do not put your candle… on the hillside so men may see your good work, which should glorify your Father which is in heaven.” Get your candle out and reach somebody. And she lights her candle and sweeps the house. Is anybody out there like sweeping?

Ethan does. Wow, Ethan, wow. I like to see that. Ethan, we have a broom around here; we will let you use it. These two young ladies said they do. That is pretty good of them. Good for them. Good for them right there. I do not know about you, but I cannot stand this week. I am fine to do it, glad to do it, but often, you know, the first thing someone is walking up, they will see that front walk mat. Sunday morning off, and I will sweep that. Do not tell my wife. I should have told her to plug her ears. You know, I will sweep that crazy thing off. Even that little bit, by getting a bad attitude, I do not like. I got to sweep this thinking thing, you know, that attitude. But this lady here is willing. He says, “You know what? I will do what I do not like to do.” It is not enjoyable to sometimes give out a gospel tract, but she says, “I am willing to do whatever.” It is not enjoyable. At Thanksgiving, we are going to go, and we are going to see Uncle Joe or whatever, and I do not know if he is saved. It is not really the most enjoyable thing. I am going to do my best to talk to Uncle Joe about his salvation. She is willing to sweep. Nobody likes to sweep. Okay, besides he is too young. And another… oh, and Ethan, too. Ethan likes it. Okay, all right. Normal people, Ethan. No.

But she is willing to sweep. What else does it say? What else does it say here? Verse number eight: “Doth a certain woman having ten pieces of silver, if she lose one piece, doth not light a candle and sweep the house and seek diligently.” Now, back in that day and time, some of the floors were dirt. And you know the sun coming down, and you get cracks. And if you light a candle, you look for it all over the house, and then you sweep. By the way, and you search diligently. That means she is getting down on her knees. I mean, she is looking, “Did it fall down in that crack?” There is some humility in trying to reach an individual. You are just willing. She was diligent. She said, “I am willing to get down and find out if that coin went down the cracks.” Because she said, “I will just… I will light the candle, I will sweep it, and I will seek diligently.” She said, “I am going to find that coin.”

Boy, I am not quite as concerned about what they are running—a church on a Sunday morning, Sunday night—but I am concerned: Are they seeking diligently for that lost piece? Because when it is all said and done, that is what is going to matter. When you stand before the Lord, he is not going to say, “Hey, how about you having your church?” If I understand the Bible, the crown of rejoicing is someone that was reaching people.

Watch this. This lady kind of reminds you of the shepherd. The lady is following the example, if you will. The bottom of verse number eight: “If she lose one piece, doth not light a candle and sweep the house and seek diligently till she find it.” She is not going to give up.

I like Bobby Robertson; you should tell this story about a girl that would ride the bus to church. And she would ride, and he said she would come almost every service down to the altar and just weep. And he saw it, and he asked some of the people, bus workers, “What is going on with that girl? She just comes there, and she just cries.” And they said, “Well, she is crying for her mom to get saved.” And she is just burdened about her mom getting saved. And Brother Bobby said, sure enough, I think if I remember right—I may be wrong—I think it was a Sunday night, her mom came with her. And the invitation time, her mom came forward, and that mom got saved. And Brother Bobby said, “I went down and talked to the mom. Said, ‘Hey, we are glad you got saved.’ Praise the Lord, that is exciting, wonderful, you know.” And what was it? What made you get saved? And she said, “I just could not take the tears of my daughter crying for me to get saved.” And this woman here, a good representation of the church, she said, “I am going to light the candle, I am going to sweep the house, I am going to seek diligently till…” I mean, she just was not going to quit until she found it. That is where the church ought to be.

I mean, we do all kinds of programs and everything else in the world, and, you know what? It is trying to find that lost coin. That is what it is about. That is how he is answering their criticism. He is hanging with the sinners and publicans, and he is answering that. Watch this, verse number nine. “And when she had found it…” What? Found 30 of them? A couple hundred of them, right? When she found… What does the Bible say? Found what? Does that represent 300? Just one. Just one. “When she found it, she calleth her friends and her neighbors together, saying, Rejoice with me; for I have found the piece which I had lost.”

You know, I like this about you. I have watched this over the years. You are good about this. If we announce things, you know, a lot of that, you get excited about it, and good specials and, you know, the offerings and all, and that is good. You know, praise the Lord for it. I think this morning we clapped it; there were over 600. There is nothing wrong with that. I am not trying to… But I like it. Usually, if we mention somebody getting saved, you are like, “Amen,” and everybody gets on board. We are excited. I love it that when we mention people getting saved, you rejoice over that. That is where a church ought to be. And somebody that found the piece and they come over here, “So-and-so got saved.” Everybody says, “Woo-hoo!” They rejoice over that. That is what it ought to be in. The church is excited. The woman here in this story, she calls her friends together, “Hey, you will not believe it, but we had… I do not know how many—five or seven or eight or ten saved in the jail ministry. Somebody saved in a Sunday school class, or somebody saved out in Soul Winner, somebody saved in Primary or Junior Church.” That is a church. How many were saved? I like it when we had Family Harvest Days and people, you know, I am very involved in this part here and dealing with people getting saved and all that, and our workers really do a good job, but I walk out, “How many have been saved so far?” I love it. That is what ought to be the focus. That is what a… called everybody again and rejoicing about the thing that matters to heaven the most: finding that lost piece. That is good church. Not church like that. That is what you are looking for. That is what it is talking about there.

Now, what does it say? Oh, verse number nine: “When she found it, she called her friends and her neighbors together, saying, Rejoice with me; for I have found the piece which I had lost.” “Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy…” It is interesting, “…in the presence of the angels of God.” Now, verse number seven, there is joy in heaven. Verse number 10, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God. I do not know, and I have heard a lot of different things about that. The only other time that that phrase “joy in the presence of the angels” is found is over in Revelation, and it is actually talking about people in heaven. That is pretty interesting. I tend to think—and you will hear a lot of different things, and let them argue about it—but I tend to think it is talking about the Christians in heaven. A host of people died in hell over Revelation, a host of people in heaven that are saved. But there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one, over one.

I do not want to lose my desire to see just one person saved. I can get caught up in school and radio and building and all the rest of that, and I do not want to lose my desire to see just one person saved. Just one. Pretty amazing. “Likewise,” that is saying to you, what makes them happy in heaven? Joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth.

You know, they have done studies, and they have checked out storefront churches and young churches; how they see a lot of people saved per capita, if you will, they see a lot more people saved. But as the church grows and gets established, and maybe more programs and more going on, their per member, if you will, drops for salvation. It is just so easy to get pulled here, there, and under everything going on, and we lose… And I like to reach one.

Years ago, we had a Sunday. It had been snowing a little bit, and total different bus workers altogether. And the main roads were fine. The side roads, some were a little questionable. I was younger; nowadays, I would probably be more cautious. And one of our people did not want to do it. Brother Ricky was their driver, I will say that, and he was fine doing whatever. And we had two buses at the time, and I said, “Brother Ricky, let us run that one.” And we ran the one. And we had, I think, two full-size buses then. We have changed over the years—one full-size and one shuttle bus, or one van. We went back and forth and all that stuff. And I think we had two, if I remember right, at that time—two full-size buses. We only ran one, and it is amazing. We only picked up one girl. You think, “Man, those big old buses, insurance and diesel and all this, just one girl on a snowy day.” Some people were not happy about us running that one bus that day, but we ran the one. And the kind of weird thing was, she was a… not a regular; she was a visitor, about a 10-year-old little girl.

And that one girl came. Praise the Lord for our Sunday school teachers and Junior and Primary Church, and all the teachers. They told her about Jesus that loved her, and even though she was a sinner, Jesus had died on the cross for that one little girl. And that little girl bowed her head and asked Jesus to be her Savior. Just one. I do not want to lose my heart. I can lose it. I will be honest with you. I do not want to lose my heart for just one. Just one.

Jesus, what are you doing hanging out? You are letting all those publicans and sinners come over there to you. By the way, if you start reaching people, somebody is going to criticize you. I do not care what church, where you are at; it is just going to happen. And Jesus said, “Well, let me give you some stories here.” This shepherd, I think it is a beautiful representation of the shepherd. He left the 99 out in the wilderness. It was not good business sense, but it sure reached one. By the way, God will take care of the business if we go reach people.

And then he said, “Let me tell you another story.” This lady, she lost just one coin. And she said, “Man, I am going to light my candle, and I am going to get the broom, and I am going to sweep the house. I am going to search diligently till I find it.” Hey, up in heaven, what matters is just one. Just one.

Would you bow your heads and close your eyes tonight? Our heads bowed, eyes closed. Hey, let us say, “Lord, help me keep the heartbeat to reach one.” If we are not careful, it will be about us—forgive me for the terminology—but being big shots, but that does not impress anybody in heaven. God says, “Are you reaching somebody? Are you reaching one?” Oh, friend, that is what is so important. That is what brings joy in heaven.

Do you hear tonight? You say, “Preacher, I am going to determine I am going to go after the lost.” Do not wait for them to come to you. No, no, no. You have got to go after them. And God spoke to my heart. I am going to go. I am going to light the candle. I am going to sweep. I am going to search. And God spoke to my heart. I am going to do my best, whatever it looks like for you to go after the lost. God spoke to my heart about that. That is you tonight. Just lift your hand if, preacher, I am going to do my best to go after that. That is what it is all about. At the end of the day, friend, that is what brought joy to heaven. That is what it is all about.

Maybe you hear tonight and you say, “I have an individual.” Maybe it is a neighbor. Maybe it is a co-worker. Maybe it is a friend at school. Maybe it is a relative you are about to see at Thanksgiving. But you say, “I have an individual I believe the Lord is laying on my heart, and I am going to do my best out of love, compassion, try to reach them. Try to reach him.” God is putting someone on my heart. I am going to do my best to try to reach them. If that is you tonight, you slip your hand up there. Preacher, I’ve got an individual God has put on my heart and my mind. God bless you. God bless you. God bless you. God bless you. God bless you. God bless you. God bless you. God bless you. Thank you. God bless you. Oh, friend, let us not lose it. It is so easy to lose that, to lose it.

Let us stand if you would, please. Let us spend some time just trying to catch his heart to be a little bit tonight. Would you do that? Father, thank you. Jesus, first of all, thank you for your example. Thank you for your Word that tells us your answer to this criticism. Lord, help me. Help me not to lose what I have. Forgive me. Help me to get back this desire just to reach one. Help that to always just permeate your church here, Father, please. And Lord, we will thank you for what you do. It is in Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.

As our instruments play, will you come just spend some time? Lord, help us to stay after the lost. Help us to keep that the main thing. To be faithful in that. Never know what one tract will do. Never know what just one person, just one. As far as I know, Ed Kimball only led one to the Lord that I know of. Maybe more, I am sure, probably did. But that one became the great D. L. Moody. Daisy Hall taught a little Sunday school class in Kentucky country. She reached a boy in her class, and he grew up, became the great Dr. Lee Robertson. I do not know; maybe that is the only one she reached. Just one. Amen.

You know, Jesus went after individuals: the woman at the well, just one. You know, over there, I think it is in John 5. It is in the pool of Bethesda. Maybe I am wrong about where it is found. I think I am wrong about where it is found. Maybe it is John 5. But there was a multitude of the impotent folk, but he healed just one. The last thing Jesus did, one of the last things on the cross, he reached just one: Nicodemus. Nicodemus was bragging on Jesus. “Oh, you’re a teacher coming from God.” Jesus cut to the chase. “Hey, you’ve got to be born again.” Jesus went after individuals. He is a Good Shepherd, and let us be… let us just go after individuals. Let us not lose that heartbeat, just reaching individuals, just reaching individuals.

God bless you. Good to have every single person in the house of the Lord on a Sunday night. And you say, “I’ll be a triple good Baptist if you let me out of here and I’ll go get some ice cream somewhere.” Amen? And that is a good deal right there. We are trying to find sugar-free ice cream. We found a little bit. That is hard to find. And Brother Josh says, “Don’t get the sugar in there,” you know. I do not want to talk to this guy. He gets a good health report; he is what he wants to be.

Hey, let us do this. If you are a teacher—any teacher—Sunday school, Primary Church, Junior Church, whatever it is—if you go ahead and head to the fellowship hall, it won’t be long. We will have a quick meeting in there. Any of our teachers, any of our teachers, whatever ministry it be—jail ministry—any of them, let us go in there just real quickly. We will not be long. And we are going to have a quick meeting in there, our last one of the year, and we are going to get this thing over and done quickly. And praise the Lord for all these teachers. They do a wonderful job. Amen. Praise the Lord for them. Praise the Lord for them. That is just awesome, and we are thankful for them. Amen.

I appreciate Ian’s faithfulness. He is from Texas and up here working, and he said he is going to move and become a member. No, he has not said that. He has not said that. I would talk him into it, but would you mind, Brother Ian, would you dismiss us with a word of prayer, please, now, would you?
