Hi, thanks for tuning in to this Week's message at C3OC. We hope that it blesses you, equips you, and fills you with faith. Let's dive in. These last few weeks, we've been going through a series, and each series or collection of messages this year is going to be focused around that theme, that prophetic word that God gave our church for this year called equip. And part of being equipped is that we would become vessels, healthy, clean, usable vessels for the purposes of God. And so the last few weeks, we've been going through being formed into a vessel, being emptied as a vessel, being filled as a vessel. And this week, I would say, is the most important emphasis that we want to have as a vessel, and that's to be a vessel that is poured out. Because we're not called to be a vessel and, you know, just a collector of things that lays stagnant. No, we're called to be a vessel that is willing enough to be poured out in this life for the calling, for the purposes that God has set before us. So we're going to focus in on a story, and I'm excited about this here today. Very. Are you guys excited? Do you have enough coffee? Do you have enough donuts? Yeah, it's great. That's great. We're going to focus in on this story in 2 Kings, chapter 4, verses 1 through 7. 2 Kings, chapter 4, verses one through seven. And this is a story about Elisha, and he meets a widow who is in a really tough predicament. And are you guys there? You guys there on your phones? That's awesome. Please don't all speak at once. 2 Kings, chapter 4, verses 1 through 7. And it says this now, the wife of one of the sons of the prophets cried to Elisha, your servant, my husband is dead. And you know that that your servant feared the Lord. But the creditor has come to take my two children to be his slaves. Interesting note by different scholars is that this lady, the husband, was one of those who there had been a school of prophets that had been started, but prior to that, Elijah was the previous prophet, right? And he performed this incredible miracle where in turn he took down the prophets of BAAL and he slaughtered them in a field. And then Jezebel came to him with a message and sent him running and fleeing. And he hid in the caves. And while he was hiding and building this school of prophets, it was said that this man of this widow was one of those who was bringing food and supplies to Elijah in the caves. And so he was left with a debt because he was borrowing money from the creditors to ensure that all of these supplies and the building of this school was happening. And so he was left with this debt. So this, when he passed away, this was obviously assumed by the family. Just an interesting little cool note, right? That's good to know. But the creditor has come to take my two children to be his slaves, which is very common in those days. And Elisha said to her, what shall I do for you? Tell me, what do you have in your house? Ask yourself that right now. What do I have in my house? And she said, you, servant has nothing in the house except a jar of oil. And then she said, go outside then. Then he said, sorry, go outside, borrow vessels from all of your neighbors, empty vessels and not too few. Then go in and shut the door behind yourself and your sons and pour into all of these vessels. And when one is full, set it aside. So she went from him and shut the door behind herself and her sons. And as she poured, they brought the vessels to her. When the vessels were full, she said to her son, bring me another vessel. And he said to her, there is not another. Then the oil stopped flowing. She came and told the man of God, and he said, go sell all the oil and pay your debts, and you and your sons can live on the rest. Here's the truth that we cannot miss. God never fills a vessel so that it can sit still, so that it can just sit on a shelf and just collect dust and be stagnant in life. He fills vessels so that they can be poured, so that they can be utilized within his kingdom. I know this sounds like very simple. We're going to dive into this. And my hope, my belief is you are going to see that God has placed something in your life and the people around you. That is for your capacity for. For his glory in your life, for his anointing in your life that needs to be poured out. I tell you this, it's a kingdom principle. If God can get it to you, it's so he can get it through you. And if you want more in life, the kingdom of God is turned upside down for how we think in this life. If you want a life, then guard it, Try and keep it, Try and lock it down. The kingdom says, if you want a life, lay it down. If you want to receive, then give. If you want to see more peace in your life, then bring peace into people's world. If you want more understanding in your life, then seek more to understand others than to Be understood yourself. This is just the way that the kingdom is set up. It's flipped upside down. So for us as humans, we have to continually come back and say, man, God shaped me and form me to be a vessel that carries your kingdom and not my own. So he fills vessels so that they can pour. Because a vessel that exists for its own purposes, for itself, has misunderstood its original purpose. And this is not a story that is about provision. I know that it can center around that, and I know that there are many messages that are preached on this about the provision, but I believe it is more about responsibility. I believe it's more about responsibility. It's about capacity, not only for ourselves, but for others to experience the miracle of God in their life. Amen. It's about understanding that what God puts in your life was never, ever, ever meant to end with you. It was meant to flow through you, to bless others and expand the kingdom. Amen. So we're gonna break this down a little bit as we begin to walk through. I got three points. We're gonna shoot three pointers all day. I'm Michael Jordan, you guys are the crowd. Let's go, Chicago Bulls. Number one. What you call small, God calls seed. And Elisha said to her, this is in verse two. What shall I do for you? Tell me, what do you have in the house? What. What do you have in your hands? What do you have in your possession? And she said, your servant has nothing in the house except for a jar of oil. Listen to me. Listen to me really clearly. Stop despising your jar. Stop despising what God has given you. All that I have is a little bit of influence. All that I have is a little bit of resources. All that I have is this little bit of time. All that I have is this little bit of reach within my world. Stop despising what is currently in your hands. I only have this small gift. And how often do we actually shut down what God can do because we feel like we've got nothing. We become a guy that is famous in the parable for burying the talent that was given to him to steward. Instead, we're looking around and we're going, oh, man, that guy's got a giant jar. Look at the size of the jar that, you know, she had. That sounds weird. Look at the size of the jars that these people have. Look at the. And we begin to minimize ourself because of comparison in our world. But God isn't calling you to compare. And I'm sorry to say this, but the kingdom of God isn't fair. I don't know if you've understood that. There was a guy who was given one talent, two talent, five talent, and that's the way the kingdom operates. It's not about how much that you have. It's what you are going to do with it. Are you going to be responsible with what God has given you? Scripture shows us over and over again that God specializes in what people overlook. Moses said, I only got a staff. David just had a single stone. There was the young boy who only had, you know, these loaves of bread and this amount of fish. But Jesus expanded the little that was in his hand that he said, here. Here is what I have. And so for us to actually understand, we cannot despise what God has given you. For some of you, you might have a book in your heart, and it's just this seed right now. For some of you, you might have this calling within you to go and evangelize to people. But, you know, I'm kind of like a nobody. No, you are not. In the kingdom of God, you were called his special possession. You were called his royal priesthood. You have been given something in this life to steward. And I just feel like so many times we end up someone comes and says, tell me, tell me, what is it? God comes, oh, tell me, what is it that you can bring. What is it that you can bring into the house? What is it that you can bring into your workplace? And we just turn around and say, I got nothing in the house. I got this, like, tiny little bit of oil, this tiny little jar of oil. And God is asking us, will you steward what has been given to you? Zechariah 4, 10 says, do not despise these small beginnings. For the Lord rejoices to see what? To see the work begin. Do not overlook or waste the little of anything in your hands. I tell you this. God will use what you have in your hands way more than what you wish you had in your hands. He uses what you have in your possession. I just got one seed. I just got one seed. It's an olive tree. You plant that, and for thousands of years there is an olive tree. I just have this one little thing in my hand. Be diligent with what God has given you. I plead some. Some people are wandering around saying, I don't know what my purpose is. I don't know what my will is. My question to you is, are you obeying just the standard will that God has laid out for us, which is this, what I have put in your Hands. Are you going to be diligent with it? Are you going to eat the seed or are you going to plant the seed? Are you going to store the seed? Or are you just going to throw the seed away, just scattering it around? Don't overlook or waste anything that is in your hands, because God has given it to you for a reason. Take it to prayer. Be responsible with this. Spiritually. Begin to steward it. Don't forget the prophecies that have been said over your life. Steward those prophecies. Prophecies. Write them down. Pray through them. Ask God, what is your intention with this word? Let it move forward in my life. Let the confidence grow within my heart that I would step forward. I tell you this, the worship of this church will go all around the world, bringing healing, bringing peace. It'll be the echoes of heaven. And you say, ah, it's just a small beginning. I love a small beginning for its miracle territory for God. I believe that this house, as we start planting these outposts all around, are going to be that of hope for communities who have been seeking and searching. I've tried everything to break these addictions of my life. They'll walk into an encounter moment, and all of a sudden there is renewed vision, there is renewed strength. The weary would grow strong in those circumstances. And that the distant sons and daughters, those who have been prodigals for years, would find an answer in a moment. Because they'll taste and see that the Lord is good. Do not despise the day of small beginnings. Revel in them. For this is the business of God. This is where the prayers are so big. And before long, what happens is the seed begins to grow. And what we once prayed for, oh, man prayed for becomes a heavy responsibility. So you want to revel in these days. You want to look at this jar and marvel at what God can do with so little or with so much that has just been sitting stagnant. The little that we have is about to be poured into large vessels. And so for you and I to actually understand that in our own lives, the little that you have when it's poured out is God's expansion plan for his kingdom. I want you to recognize it today. I want you to write it down. You do it now or later on. But I want you to write down what is the little in my life that I have often overlooked. What is the little in my life that I have just left on the shelf? And hear me when I say this, it's not just about pouring out, but there is a code of responsibility that the kingdom requires from us in moving and ushering that forward for the miracle. This miracle wasn't just Elisha saying to this widow, don't worry, the vessels are going to appear in your life. She had to go and gather these vessels. Point two says, prepare your capacity. Prepare your capacity. If you want a miracle in your life, you've got to start preparing to expand within your world. Verse 3, it says, Go outside and borrow vessels. From who? All of your neighbors. Empty vessels, not too few of them. This is where the miracle meets its responsibility. If she gathered no vessels, there would be no place to pour into. If her neighbors had no vessels at the ready, she would have no amplification of this miracle. God could have created the vessels, but he didn't. She had to gather them. There's this great story, it's like a joke, but there was a flood. And this guy's in his city, and he's swimming around and he prays out to God and he says, God, save me from this flood. Save me, oh God, from this flood. And God answers and said, I will save you, my son. And about five minutes later, this boat comes by. He goes, hey, we're here to save you. And the guy drowning, he looks up and he says, oh, don't worry. God's gonna save me from the flood. And they said, okay. And they went off. Helicopter comes over the top. The guy comes down and he's in his harness and he gets lowered down and he's, we're here to save you. And he said, no, don't worry, don't worry. God's gonna save me right now. The helicopter goes, okay. And they take off and they go. The man drowns. And he's standing at the pearly gates, and he says, what's the deal? I thought you said there was going to be a miracle. And God replies back. He said, I sent you a boat and I sent you a helicopter, but you didn't receive my help. And I feel like so many times in this life we're looking for this upward thing. But God uses people to be his vessels. And your neighbors have vessels that are in wait for us to be able to take and fill with oil that they would be poured out. And so this oil was supernatural. The vessels, though, were her obedience, Right? The oil, that. That's all God. That can only be God. But the vessels were her obedience to the word that was given to her. And that is the kingdom. That is a kingdom principle for us. God's provision meets human preparation. There is a difference And I'm going to preach on this in a couple of weeks. There is a difference between having faith and being faithful. And a lot of us have a faith, but it needs to come into fullness, and the fullness is actually okay. By faith, you have been saved. By faith, through grace, you have been saved. But we have to continue on in maturity. That says this faith and this salvation now outworks itself in good works. And for you and I to be a people who is not only prepared ourselves, but are preparing for others in this life, that makes us a faithful Christian. When we stand before God, the words we want to hear is, what Good and faithful servant. Faithful servant. Not just passionate and not just hyped up and not, oh, well done, my good and busy servant. Well done, my good and faithful, faithful servant. Oh, that little jar that I gave you, man, I was cheering you on with Gabriel and a few of the other angels. Oh, what's he going to do? What's he. Oh, my gosh. He went to the neighbors and he got vessels and he's pouring it out. Look at like, this is God saying, here, I've given you a jar of oil, man. Will you be diligent and responsible enough and obedient with this and start pursuing where to pour it? God's provision meets our human preparation. Luke 16:10 says, One who is faithful with what very little is also faithful with much. Her miracle expanded as her capacity expanded. Think on this. She got as much as she prepared space for. One of the negative slants on this is like, could she have gotten more vessels? Could. Did she go to all her neighbors? It says her sons went to her neighbors. Were the sons, like, diligent or were they, like, ah, don't worry about cranky old Bob. No, he's not going to give us any vessels. Did. Did they collect as many vessels? Because I tell you, man, I probably would have gone to the town down the road. I would have gone up to San Francisco and grabbed every vessel, made sure it was very clean as I was driving back, but would have gathered as many vessels as I could. Silos, vats, whatever it is. Because the miracle ended. The miracle stopped when the vessels ended, when the capacity was gone. And so she only got as much as she prepared for. Are you preparing for God to do a miracle in your life? Are you preparing? This is not like some inspirational message I'm trying to conjure up. But your vessel of prayer. What does your vessel of prayer look like? What does your vessel of word look like in your life? What does your vessel of building God's house look like there's no such thing as a head of Christ just floating around. He needs a body to land on. Okay. He needs a body. Are you building up the body? What. What is your vessel for the body looking like? What is your vessel of. Of your work life looking like? Does it look clean? Is it muddled? Is it that? Are you creating vessels for the kingdom to flow through your life? I love that. This. And. And this is probably the. The biggest revelation out of. Can you tell I'm passionate about this? Can I tell you one of the most frustrating things as a pastor is. Is seeing the potential in people who are still withholding their little jar of oil. It's one of the most frustrating things. It's not. It's not. It doesn't. It's not like, angry. I'm not angry at this. But, man, I just tell you your potential is limitless when you put it in God's hands. And it breaks my heart when I see people walking through a valley. There's something exciting in it for me because I know what happens when you come out of a valley. But one of the most daunting things in life is the little that we have or the little that we consider that we have. I just have all of this. And you know what? There's nothing in the house except this tiny little jar and a whole bunch of other problems. And so we focus everything. We want to pour out the problems, and we begin to pour out the problem. And they don't need a vessel. They just love the ground. They just seep all through it. And we end up pouring out all of the problems and all of the excuses. I'm saying, just, man, God, please show them the jar that is in their hands, that if they would pour it out, that your river would flow through their life. And so please hear me when I say this with so much love, but if you don't have neighbors with vessels in your life, you need to find them. You need to find people in your life who have vessels in weight to amplify the miracle in your life that God wants to provide. You need people that will stand by you. And let me just say, expanding capacity is sometimes stretching. Does anyone like stretching here? Oh, yeah. Okay. A couple of the ladies. That's awesome. I don't like stretching. I don't like it, but if I don't do it, I get injured. I'm 42 now, for goodness sake. So the stretching is healthy, but what it does is it limbers you up for what God is going to do. And I love that in this story, the neighbors became a part of her miracle. Her neighbors provided the vessels. They did not provide the oil, but they provided the capacity for a miracle in her life to happen, to expand, to get bigger. Without their vessels, that oil would have had nowhere to go. And this is why I say to you over again and again in so many different ways, that having a neighbor in your life matters. And being a neighbor in your community also matters. Some of us are just looking for the vessels that our neighbors have without understanding first. Men, you have vessels within your house to provide a miracle in other people's worlds. And this is why the church matters, because you're part of being a vessel is building capacity not just for yourself, but for others. Romans 12:13 says, Contribute to the needs of the saints. There is more than us in this world. There is more than just our own lives becoming so full that we. That we hoard and we stagnant. No, no, no. It's so that it can flow through us. And this is what I would call the. One of the highest, or if not the highest stations of community is that community. I find that some people's first thought coming into community is, what can I get from this? What can I get from this community? When actually the first thought should be, what can I bring to this community? That's the heart of community. And so we have to come around, we have to bend our minds as to how it's been formed and it's been shaped, that we would first ask, man, what is it that I can bring? What vessels can I bring into this community? Where can I be a provision in someone else's life? Not just finances, I mean, time and prayers and pouring into all these vessels of revelation that I have in my world, man, I can bring that into someone else's world, where the little jar, the little faith that they have begins to expand. What are these vessels in my life that I can bring into the house of God? Be a neighbor who has enough capacity to amplify the miracle in someone else's life. Your capacity of prayer, your capacity of word, your capacity of genuine, actionable love in your world, Your capacity of giving into vision builders here at church. Your capacity to lead at tables, to start at tables, and start opening your home as a vessel itself. Your capacity of time, your capacity of financial management in your life. Prepare to bless others with your capacity. Little or much? It's not about how much or how little. The opening of this sermon series was 2 Timothy 2:20, where it talked about all the material. There's golden ones and there's silver vessels and then there's wooden and then there's clay. And immediately our mind goes to, oh, the wooden and clay. They're the naughty vessels, right? Oh, they're the naughty ones because it's the gold and the silver. But it wasn't the point. It's not the material that we're made of. It's the cleanliness on the inside. And so it's not about if it's big or little. Let's talk about financial management. I don't have a whole bunch of money coming in. I'm not generous. You can't budget to buy a coffee for someone. There's a financial management that God has given us to be able to steward in our lives. It's just, have you been in Starbucks drive thru and the person in front has bought your coffee? Yeah, isn't that a cool feeling? And then you kind of pass it on back, you're like, oh, let me buy the person below. And they go, they got 17 coffees. And you're like, oh man. But you know what I'm saying, like, you have a vessel, no matter what level you think it's at, but God is asking you to steward and to use it. You and I as neighbors have a responsibility to build capacity in our lives to bless others. You know, here is what I would call the other angle of this. Being a neighbor with a vessel and being a person who is seeking a neighbor for a vessel. So as a neighbor, we have to be prepared. We need these vessels. So what about for me as a neighbor who needs a vessel within my life seeking that capacity of others? My first question is, what is your hunger as one waiting for a miracle in your world? Is it hungry enough to seek the counsel, to seek the vessels of others? Because pride holds us back. I don't have any problems in my life. No, no, no. My little jar is good. It's hidden in my house. It's all good. Where there is capacity that is around us to expand your life and to expand what God wants to do in it. Would you go to your neighbors and ask for help? Would you go and say, man, I'm struggling in this area. This marriage is really hard right now. This situation at work, this depression, this anxiety, this hardship that I am facing. I've just got a little bit of oil left in the tank. What vessel can I pour into? Are you willing to go to your neighbors and ask for help? Will you, as the person asking, use what is given to you or will you falter? And this is the stewardship coming from the other side. I'm going to say this really clearly so there's no confusion. Don't be an ask hole. Don't go and ask for counsel and then not use the counsel that was given to you. Your neighbor just gave you a vessel. The way that you fill it is by putting it into action. It's by pouring your life into that. So you make sure you got good counsel 100%. But man, don't be the person who asks all the questions. Don't have too much counsel. Because if you've got 30 people and you're asking the same question, you're seeking for the answer that is most comfortable in your life, find the few. My counsel I can count on three fingers, count your close counsel under one hand doesn't need to be wide and broad, but make sure that it's true and it's wise and it's God filled. Amen. But when you are receiving that, will you carry that back to your house? Will you pour the little faith that you have, the little prayers that you feel like you might have within your house, the little obedience, the little steps, the little influence, would you pour and be diligent with what has been given to you? I don't know if you've ever bought planters or those silly outdoor pots. Has anyone ever tried to carry those things? They are so awkward. The vessel that's always given to you, it's not going to be the most comfortable thing in your life. And I find that when you're carrying something uncomfortable and you're trying to walk around with it, you're carrying it back to your house. Sometimes the advice is meant to build your capacity for what you already have. And I'm telling you, just do not be an ask hole in this world. If you are going for counsel, it's because you are about to receive something that you are going to put into action. Amen. Be a steward of what has been given to you. Be a good steward and bring that back into the house and begin pouring into it. That to me is true faithfulness I'm seeking. If Jethro, who came to Moses and gave him some of the greatest leadership advice ever given, if Moses said, nah, I'm not going to do that, if he threw that to the side, he would have gone insane trying to manage millions of people who were full of complaints in the middle of the wilderness. But he put into play what Jethro gave him and it began to build a nation don't be one who just asks for advice. Don't be one who doesn't ask for advice. And what is given, you begin to steward it well. Amen. Amen. Here's the last point here today. Point 3. The oil demands stewardship. I'm going to take this to the next level, which in verse seven it says, go sell the oil and pay your debts, and you and your sons can live on the rest. Notice this carefully. God did not remove her responsibility, he expanded it. He restored her capacity to carry. He didn't eliminate the debt supernaturally with a lightning bolt. Just like he didn't make vessels out of thin air, she had to go and gather them. There was a stewardship to see the miracle come. And there was a stewardship after the miracle had happened. Almost every miracle in Scripture, it comes with a responsibility attached to it. When Jesus multiplied the loaves and fish, he told the disciples in John 6:12, Gather up the leftover fragments, that nothing may be lost. Why would he gather the leftovers if he could just make more? This is a good question, right? Why? If he could just say, let there be more fish the next time. But he said, gather the leftovers because the kingdom is not built on waste, it's built on stewardship. And God is not just a giver, he is a builder. He is a builder of you. He is a builder of me. He is a builder of families. He is a builder of nations. He is a builder of his house. He wasn't just rescuing her from a crisis. He was establishing her and the generations after her into sustainability. Some people just want God to pour, but they don't want God to entrust them with responsibility. Notice how sometimes we just pray for God to get us out of a situation. She was pulled and delivered out of this situation. But the ending of that scripture says, sell the rest, pay your debts and live off the rest, you and your sons. When God starts to move, it's not just a moment of desperation that he wants to meet. He wants to provide for longevity in your world. Faithfulness is Uroniah's gateway to increase. God gave her more than survival. He gave her more than survival. He gave her sufficiency. He gave her a future. He gave her margin. He gave her provision that would outlaw the crisis. And that's what God has for you today. This is the nature of God. In Genesis 12:2, it says, I will bless you so that you will be a blessing. God blesses you so the oil can flow through you. This is where so many or too many believers they stop short. They want food filling in their life for a personal satisfaction. And God does that. He's not absent or unaware of, that there is full satisfaction in his presence. If you are thirsty, he says, come to me and you will drink and never thirst again. But there is a healing in your life that is meant to flow through you, to bring faith in someone else's life who needs a healing. In 2 Corinthians 1:4, it says, comfort others with the comfort you have received. You're breaking free. Your freedom is meant to be someone else's breakthrough as well. Luke 22:32 says, Strengthen your brothers. Your obedience becomes a doorway through which others encounter God. The oil that she was given was never meant to end with her. It was meant to establish her and sustain her household. What has God given you to steward that you have stored up on the inside just for you? It could be because I've got this, but I have a lack of confidence. Find your confidence in the Lord. I got it. But I need to hang on to it because if it goes, I just won't have much left. Man, the principle of the kingdom is, lay down your life and you will get a life. What has God given you to steward that you might have left alone or that you have disposed? These are questions I want us to come around. I want us to answer. I want you to search. I want you to pray to God and say, God, is there anything in my life that I have neglected to steward? Is there a vessel in my life that I need to actively open up in other people's worlds? Because that is the light of the world that Jesus has called you to be? You might think, oh, man, I'm just an off switch on the lights. No, you are the light of the world. You know how I know that? It's not because of what the doctor might have told you or you're gonna struggle with depression. No, I know it. Because what Jesus says is true. You are the light of the world, and you are the salt of the world. Don't ever discount what God has given you. You start stewarding it and putting it into play. Amen. Let's stand to our feet here today. Thank you, Father. Thank you, Jesus. There might be people here today that are questioning, you know, I don't even know if I've discovered my vessels. I don't know if I've got any vessels. Maybe there's some of us who are saying, I do have vessels and I've been withholding them, or I know I need to ask for vessels. To be filled in my life. If that is you here today, just with every eye closed, just to give people their privacy here today, if that is you, I just want you to raise your hand up high. Raise it up high. I thank you, Jesus. Thank you, Father, dear God. I thank you Lord, for your holy Spirit, for your discernment, for your wisdom. I thank you Lord, for awareness to sweep across their life. I thank you, God, for confidence. The confidence would fill each and every one of these people. Let it be known that they are vessels, God, and that you would show it to them. Reveal to them your good nature, Jesus. Reveal to them your plans and purposes. You are a good God who has plans to prosper your people and not to harm them. So here today in faith, we lift up each and every person. Amen. Just begin to stir up prayer within your hearts. Stir it up within you. Oh, thank you, Jesus. Jesus, that you would reveal the jars of oil in our life, Father. Reveal the vessels that are around us, God, for those who have lived isolated in their faith, let them set their feet in the middle of neighborhoods full of vessels, God. That God, oh God. There would be a pouring out even of the little in their life, that there would be expansion. I prophesy and declare expedition expansion in people's worlds, Father, that where there is need of miracles, let the miracle be found. Let the miracle of peace be sustained. Let the miracle of finances be sustained, Father, for those who hold little hope, let it be poured into vessels that make it a big hope, Father, that God, our eyes would always be on you. That what you would give us would flow through us ever so easily. Place your hand on the on the shoulder of the person next to you. Let's all just pray this out loud. Say God. Let's say that again. Say God, we are your vessels. Fill us, form us, shape us, clean us, pour us out for your purpose, for your glory and for your kingdom. I declare the year of expansion across the person on my left and my right. We believe in a miracle working, God. In Jesus name, we all said amen. Amen. Amen. Hey, thanks for tuning in. There's a bunch of different ways that we connect throughout the week, including Sunday mornings, and we would love to see you there. You can check out all the details@c3oc.com.
