&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;&quot;&gt;You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father of it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;LORD and Saviour Jesus Christ&amp;nbsp;had no guile in Him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: 'Lucida Calligraphy'; font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: 'Lucida Calligraphy'; font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;Proverbs 29:18&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: 'Lucida Calligraphy'; font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: 'Lucida Calligraphy'; font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;Speaker&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: symbol;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 32px;&quot;&gt;~&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 32px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 14pt;&quot;&gt;We Must See The Lord&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;&quot;&gt;In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord sitting on a throne, high and lifted up, and the train of His robe filled the temple.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: right;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;&quot;&gt;Isaiah 6:1&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: symbol;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 32px;&quot;&gt;~&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;We Must See Ourselves&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;&quot;&gt;Where there is no revelation, the people cast off restraint; But happy is he who keeps the law.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: right;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Proverbs 29:18&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: symbol;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 32px;&quot;&gt;~&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;We See A Lost And Hurting World&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;&quot;&gt;But when He saw the multitudes, He was moved with compassion for them, because they were weary and scattered, like sheep having no shepherd.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: right;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Matthew 9:36&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: symbol;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 32px;&quot;&gt;~&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: symbol;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 32px;&quot;&gt;~&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 14pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: 'Lucida Calligraphy'; font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;His Hand Is Able To Save Sinners&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 14pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;Then Saul, still breathing threats and murder against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest and asked letters from him to the synagogues of Damascus, so that if he found any who were of the Way, whether men or women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: right;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 14pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;Acts 9:1-2&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: verdana, geneva; font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: symbol;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 32px;&quot;&gt;~&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 14pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: 'Lucida Calligraphy'; font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;His Hand Can Keep Those He Saves&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 14pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;For this reason I also suffer these things; nevertheless I am not ashamed, for I know whom I have believed and am persuaded that He is able to keep what I have committed to Him until that Day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: right;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 14pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;II Timothy 1:12&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 14pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; For You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: right;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 14pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;Psalms 23:4&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 14pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, &quot;All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: 'Lucida Calligraphy'; font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: 'Lucida Calligraphy'; font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;Matthews 10:16&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: verdana, geneva; font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;It is very important for servants of Christ to be wise.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: verdana, geneva; font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: symbol;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 32px;&quot;&gt;~&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: verdana, geneva; font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;We ought to pray for wisdom as well as study the word to be wise.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: verdana, geneva; font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: symbol;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 32px;&quot;&gt;~&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: verdana, geneva; font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;The wisdom of this world crumbles under the Will of GOD!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: verdana, geneva; font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: symbol;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 32px;&quot;&gt;~&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: verdana, geneva; font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;Yes, if you cry out for discernment, And lift up your voice for understanding, If you seek her as silver, And search for her as for hidden treasures; Then you will understand the fear of the LORD, And find the knowledge of God. For the LORD gives wisdom; From His mouth come knowledge and understanding; He stores up sound wisdom for the upright; He is a shield to those who walk uprightly; He guards the paths of justice, And preserves the way of His saints.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: right;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: verdana, geneva; font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Proverbs 2:3-8&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: symbol;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 32px;&quot;&gt;~&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: verdana, geneva; font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;Then those who gladly received his word were baptized; and that day about three thousand souls were added to them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: right;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: verdana, geneva; font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;Acts 2:41&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: verdana, geneva; font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;the blessing, if you obey the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you today;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: right;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: verdana, geneva; font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Deuteronomy 11:27&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: 'Lucida Calligraphy'; font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;Some Things Are More Precious Than Gold&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: 'Lucida Calligraphy'; font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: 'Lucida Calligraphy'; font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;I Peter 1:1-8&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: 'Lucida Calligraphy'; font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: 'Lucida Calligraphy'; font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;Speaker&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: 'Lucida Calligraphy'; font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: 'Lucida Calligraphy'; font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: 'Lucida Calligraphy'; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;James Carter&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: symbol;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 32px;&quot;&gt;~&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: verdana, geneva; font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;Salvation Is More Precious Than Gold&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: verdana, geneva; font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: right;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: verdana, geneva; font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;Matthew 16:26&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: symbol;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 32px;&quot;&gt;~&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: verdana, geneva; font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;A Good Name Is More Precious Than Gold&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: verdana, geneva; font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;A good name is to be chosen rather than great riches, Loving favor rather than silver and gold.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: right;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: verdana, geneva; font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;Proverbs 22:1&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: symbol;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 32px;&quot;&gt;~&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: verdana, geneva;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;The Trial Of Faith Is More Precious Than Gold&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: verdana, geneva; font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;that the genuineness of your faith, being much more precious than gold that perishes, though it is tested by fire, may be found to praise, honor, and glory at the revelation of Jesus Christ&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: right;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: verdana, geneva; font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;I Peter 1:7&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: symbol;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 32px;&quot;&gt;~&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Sermon&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: 'Lucida Calligraphy'; font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;A Friend Who Is Closer Than A Brother&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: 'Lucida Calligraphy'; font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: 'Lucida Calligraphy'; font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;Proverbs 18:24&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: 'Lucida Calligraphy'; font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: 'Lucida Calligraphy'; font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;Speaker&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: 'Lucida Calligraphy'; font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: 'Lucida Calligraphy'; font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: 'Lucida Calligraphy'; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;James Carter&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: symbol;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 32px;&quot;&gt;~&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: verdana, geneva; font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;A Friend to Whom We Can Confess Everything To&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: verdana, geneva; font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;All that the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I will by no means cast out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: right;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: verdana, geneva; font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;John 6:37&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: symbol;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 32px;&quot;&gt;~&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: verdana, geneva; font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;A Friend We Can Pray To&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: verdana, geneva; font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: right;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: verdana, geneva; font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;Philippians 4:6&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: symbol;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 32px;&quot;&gt;~&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: verdana, geneva;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;A Friend We Can Count on For Hope&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: verdana, geneva; font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed with our habitation which is from heaven,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: right;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: verdana, geneva; font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;II Corinthians 5:2&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: symbol;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 32px;&quot;&gt;~&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

            <title>The Greatest Gift</title>
            <link>http://stonyislandchurchofchrist.com/blog/1105927/The_Greatest_Gift</link>
            <description>&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 24pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: verdana, geneva;&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino;&quot;&gt;~&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Sermon&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: 'Lucida Calligraphy'; font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;The Greatest Gift&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;I Corinthians 13:13&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: 'Lucida Calligraphy'; font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: 'Lucida Calligraphy'; font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 8pt; font-family: 'arial black', 'avant garde';&quot;&gt;Speaker&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: 'Lucida Calligraphy'; font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: 'Lucida Calligraphy'; font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: 'Lucida Calligraphy'; font-size: 8pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Randall Hall&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: symbol;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 32px;&quot;&gt;~&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: verdana, geneva; font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;The Race of Faith&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: verdana, geneva; font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: right;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: verdana, geneva; font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;Hebrews 11:1&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: right;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: verdana, geneva; font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;And all these, having obtained a good testimony through faith, did not receive the promise, God having provided something better for us, that they should not be made perfect apart from us.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: right;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: verdana, geneva; font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;Hebrews 11:39-40&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: verdana, geneva; font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: right;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: verdana, geneva; font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;Hebrews 12:1-2&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: symbol;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 32px;&quot;&gt;~&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: verdana, geneva; font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;The Risen Christ&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: verdana, geneva; font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men the most pitiable.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: right;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: verdana, geneva; font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;I Corinthians 15:19&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: symbol;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 32px;&quot;&gt;~&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;Take Heed to Your Ministry&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: verdana, geneva; font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;Do not neglect the gift that is in you, which was given to you by prophecy with the laying on of the hands of the eldership.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: right;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: verdana, geneva; font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;I Timothy 4:14&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: verdana, geneva; font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;You are My friends if you do whatever I command you. No longer do I call you servants, for a servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all things that I heard from My Father I have made known to you. You did not choose Me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain, that whatever you ask the Father in My name He may give you. These things I command you, that you love one another. &quot;If the world hates you, you know that it hated Me before it hated you. If you were of the world, the world would love its own. Yet because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you. Remember the word that I said to you, 'A servant is not greater than his master.' If they persecuted Me, they will also persecute you. If they kept My word, they will keep yours also. But all these things they will do to you for My name's sake, because they do not know Him who sent Me. If I had not come and spoken to them, they would have no sin, but now they have no excuse for their sin. He who hates Me hates My Father also. If I had not done among them the works which no one else did, they would have no sin; but now they have seen and also hated both Me and My Father. But this happened that the word might be fulfilled which is written in their law, 'THEY HATED ME WITHOUT A CAUSE.' &quot;But when the Helper comes, whom I shall send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who proceeds from the Father, He will testify of Me. And you also will bear witness, because you have been with Me from the beginning.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: right;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: verdana, geneva; font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;John 15:14-27&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: symbol;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 32px;&quot;&gt;~&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Sermon&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: 'Lucida Calligraphy'; font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;The Christian's Glorious Standing In Christ&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Romans 8:1-8&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: 'Lucida Calligraphy'; font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: 'Lucida Calligraphy'; font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 8pt; font-family: 'arial black', 'avant garde';&quot;&gt;Speaker&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: 'Lucida Calligraphy'; font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: 'Lucida Calligraphy'; font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: 'Lucida Calligraphy'; font-size: 8pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;James Carter&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: symbol;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 32px;&quot;&gt;~&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino; font-size: 14pt;&quot;&gt;There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death. For what the law could not do in that it was weak through the flesh, God did by sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, on account of sin: He condemned sin in the flesh, that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit. For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit. For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. Because the carnal mind is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, nor indeed can be. So then, those who are in the flesh cannot please God.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino; font-size: 14pt;&quot;&gt;Why do you do what you do? What is the focus and motivation that drives us?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino; font-size: 14pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 24pt;&quot;&gt;~&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino; font-size: 14pt;&quot;&gt;We must be transformed and focused on doing our Lord's will in love because that is the greatest commandment.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino; font-size: 14pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 24pt;&quot;&gt;~&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
