Children—Mark Allan
DISCLAIMER: The following has been auto-transcribed. We hope it will help you to find the section of this audio file you are looking for.
Said one of the kids have a phone they'd like to sing off the back of the hemp sheets the numbers 40 to 47. Or if you think it's something that everybody knows, that would be fine too.
46.
Can you read all the words that are spelled in that song?
That's right, tidings I bring that Jesus has come to save me and he calls, and he calls the girls and he wants all the boys too, to trust in him and have their sins now washed away. And here we can sing that and we'll get the girls to sing the line about the girls.
And voice, the single line book, the voice, I think I learned to do that in Nova Scotia, so.
And we go when he goes on the jealous uh indeed, one of the alliance to do to the king. Are you lamb stealing him? I haven't had a mother since now and so away.
OK with somebody else of this only like to sing.
Go ahead, 44 OK into a 10.
That's a nice one if that one comes from where I live now, which is Ontario.
Into a 10 where a gypsy boy lay dying alone at night.
Never leave everything. Nobody ever had someone they could do anything that are running again and down and down again. Salvation. Salvation story, greeting or endorsement.
Till I get the day out of the children of men, nobody ever has told me before.
There is no love me a more little boy and come to me in a good time of joy. Need I not perish? My hands will be cold. Nobody ever the story has told.
Then I am sure that he sent him for me.
Again, salvation story revealed.
Tell them can say of the children of men.
Nobody ever has told me before.
Well, that's a nice song. Can somebody tell me the story this boy had never heard before?
That thorium Jesus, that's right. And Bill Prost talked to us yesterday and he said that there was when his son was teaching over.
In the Zika Spanish, they didn't even know the name of Jesus. And you know we shouldn't just.
A few years ago when I was talking to the kids about the store, the Christmas story, something that was about the Lord Jesus birth. And you know, we shouldn't just assume.
That people know about the Lord Jesus. It's a wonderful thing to be able to tell about what the Lord Jesus did in the course. It says we should. We want it, it says until none can say of the children of men. Nobody has ever told me before. Let's try and tell that everyone should hear the wonderful news of the gospel. OK, to somebody else, another.
00:05:14
Do you have Go ahead #5 number 50? Happy day. That's a nice one.
Oh, happy day, there's my joy.
Well, may this go in heartbreak. Rejoice and tell the crowd I'm sure there's all abroad. I'll be tired. I've been married. When you give your life in the way.
Our way.
It is not enough granny reduction time. I am my Lord and he is mine. He drew me out and I followed on right to come back the one day morning.
Day. Happy day.
What are you getting up? Watch my fingers away. He taught me how to watch and pray and live. Rejoice in every day.
Happy day, happy days, happy days when Jesus, of course my sins are away.
Now rest my mom, give my empire based on the blood the center rise, nor ever from thy glory within him of every good for that I'll be there, and you have to be dead for when he Jesus was.
My sins away.
I'm away.
OK, does somebody else have a song I'd like to sing? Go ahead. Pardon 40 Jesus tells me. OK, that's a nice one. And maybe we can. When we get to the chorus and we say yes, Jesus tells me we can point to ourselves when you get to me. OK, And don't say me.
Maybe we can sing actual single song Jesus loves me as I know.
So.
Give you 95. May he never die. Haven't taken over. He will wash away my sins. Laugh out loud.
And she comes from.
Yes, she's a slum.
Yeah, it sounds love. Now I won't know. So serious sunflowers may go one night. And we've been waiting to make me God's way to hold me in hand. Can you please take from a great harm? Yes.
00:10:05
She's not close.
Yeah, that's really good. Sounds well, Yeah, she sounds like.
The Bible sounds so Jesus loves me, loves me still when I'm very wing. I know from him shining Oh my God, he will watch me where I lie. Yes it sounds like.
Yeah, let's see if it sounds like yeah, you SoundCloud, the Bible tells.
So.
He thy responds me, He will say every closed beside me all the way. If I trust him chilling, I know he will Take Me Home on time.
Yeah, yeah.
Yes, she does love.
Yeah, she loves love.
From the Bible tells me.
OK, well, maybe we can just right?
Our God and Father, we just.
Thank you that we can spend a few minutes singing on the start of this Sunday school. And Father, we just would thank you for the Lord Jesus who came into this world to die so that we could sing that song. Oh, happy day to fix my choice and that we could sing this song. Yes, Jesus loves me, the Bible tells himself. And uh, Lord, I pray that it's something that we would appreciate deep in our hearts. We just pray as thy word is open. Father, let us know what the boys and girls.
In this room need the adults to just pray that it would work for blessing this morning and my spirit would be able to bring even if it's just something small that we could enjoy to our hearts that he would do that today. We ask this in the name of the Lord Jesus Amen.
OK.
Well, what I wanted to talk about.
Today is.
Something that I've spoken about before, but I wanted to talk about a little bit differently. Walking with the Lord. Do you ever go on walks with who?
So you go on the walk with Locksmith.
Well, thanks. We need to go. Oxygen. Yes, very nice. Do you ever go and walk to your parents?
Sometimes, you know, sometimes things when, sometimes, umm, when we get busy, it's hard to go on walk, right? You know, sometimes when you split up, inevitably we go and walk like almost every week. But since we've been back in Ontario, it hasn't been twice as frequent. You know, going to walks is a very, very nice thing. You know, we have a dog and he loves to go on walks.
Matter of fact, Lindsay and Bryn have been going out walking every morning this week and I'm at home and E whines and complaints if he can't go on the walk and trip. He loves to go on walks if he sees daddy and mummy going out for a walk around the loops.
Where we live, he gets very sad if he can't go on the stroller. But who I wanted to talk to you about this morning who likes to walk with us is.
The Lord and that's what you said, and it starts right at the very beginning of the Bible that we read about him wanting to walk with us. And so I'm gonna talk about.
Five times about walking. One of the times the person didn't walk and he should have been able to walk and the other four times they didn't. OK the first one is in Genesis chapter.
Three, I think.
And verse 8, so who do you think if it's in Genesis chapter 3, who do you think is talking about Zachary?
Adam and Eve. Where did Adam live? Can one of the kids tell me where Adam lives at first? Go ahead. In the Garden of Eden. That's right. And in the garden was the garden being nice. It was beautiful.
00:15:08
Probably one of the nicest places you could possibly live. You know, there's a place not too far from where my parents live called the Garden of Eden. It's a beautiful lake. I don't think it's quite as nice as the trail garden. And you know, the Lord came.
And I think it says, it doesn't say this earlier, but he came and he was walking in the garden and he wanted to talk. Walk and talk with who? And somebody tell me.
Back. All right, let's just read the verses. It's in Genesis chapter 3.
And this was after they thin.
It says in Genesis chapter 3 verse 7, the eyes of them both were opened and they knew that they were naked and they sold fig leaves together and made themselves acres. And they heard the voice of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day. And Adam and his wife hid themselves from amongst the presence of the Lord God amongst the trees of the garden. So you know the Lord came down and he wanted to.
Talk and walk with Adam. And could he?
Could the Lord talk and walk with Adam in the way that he wanted to?
Now we couldn't put yours. Why not?
Sophia Because he has been. Because he has been. If you're bad, you like to be around your parents.
I don't think so. Well, sin made it so that.
Adam and Eve couldn't enjoy the presence of the Lord in the same way as they did before.
That's a very sad thing, isn't it? Just like I said, if I, I mean, I think it made the Lord very, very sad. You know, we don't.
The Lord couldn't walk without him in even the same way after that because of sin. And you know, he wants to be with him. He wants to spend time with it, but sin separated them from God so that he couldn't. And you know, that's very sad. But what happened so that we can now enjoy being with the Lord again? What happened?
Is that great?
The Lord came and he died on the cross. And if we asked them to wash our sins away, umm, we can enjoy calls from before again. I just want to go to the New Testament, somebody else who walked with the Lord and the ones I want to talk about today, it talks about walking with God. You know, we read about lots of people in the Old Testament who walked with God. There's a whole bunch of we read of Noah walking with God. We read of a man named Enoch walking with God. We read of a man named Abraham walking with God. We read of Isaac walking with God. We read of Jacob Rockman with God. We read of David Rocken with God.
You know, walking with God is a very, very important thing. You know, I hope that we can say that everybody in this room.
Likes to walk with the Lord and you know, it's in two senses. You know, maybe we actually can walk in a physical sense. Maybe we could walk down the road and talk to the Lord and pray as we go for a walk. You know, I think go across has come to my parents a few times and I think he gets up early in the morning sometimes he goes for a walk.
Think that's nice? It is very nice, very nice when in a very physical sense we can walk with the Lord, you know?
Halifax doesn't have the reputation as being the best city in the world. I have very good memories of this city, even though two of the hardest years of my life before I was married was sent Halifax. But I remember the Lord helping me when I was having a hard time. I studied late at night because I was in the waterfront on the other side of the harbor here just a few blocks up, and I would study until I was totally exhausted. Then I would get off the walk down.
Morris St. which is right beside Spring Garden, two blocks to the harbor front. I'd walk along the harbor front down to Umm Purdy's Wharf, and then I'd walk back from Purdy's Wharf to Marsh St. again and back up. And I spend a little time talking to the Lord. And you know, that helped me through two of the hardest years of my life. And I have tremendous memories of being in the city because of that. You know, the Lord loves to hear us talk to him. You know, it's not just in a physical sense we can talk to the Lord, but also.
Every day in the struggles that we have, we can spend time with the Lord. And I wanna read of two disciples who walked with the Lord. And you know this is interesting because Jesus came as a man to this world.
00:20:13
And we're gonna read one of the first times that we read of him, specifically Washington John, chapter one, umm 1.
Inverse 35 Actually, we'll go back up and we'll reverse 29 The next day John's is coming to him and said, behold the Lamb of God, which takes away the sin of the world. So the nice thing about the Lord Jesus is that he could take away the very sin that Adam and Eve caused. That cuts us from being able to walk with the Lord in the way that we should. And then down in verse 35, it says the next day after John stood and two of his disciples.
So there was two disciples here, and John, and they looked on Jesus as he walked.
He saith, Behold the Lamb of God. And the two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus. Then Jesus turned and saw the following, and said unto them, What seek ye? They said unto him, Rabbi, which is the saving interpretive master, Where dwelleth thou? And he said unto them, Come and see. They came, and saw where he dwelt, and abode with him that day.
Or it was about 1/10 hour.
So there was two young men here. I don't know how old they were, maybe in their late teens, early 20s, maybe they were a little bit early, older than that. And John the Baptist, who was.
Probably around 30 at this time he saw the Lord Jesus walking and he said, behold the Lamb of God. And what did those two disciples want to do when they heard him say that? Can one of the children tell me what did those two disciples want to do when they heard that? John the Baptist said that he was the Lamb of God.
Sylvia.
They wanted to follow him. Is it a nice thing to want to follow the Lord Jesus? It is a very nice thing to want to follow the Lord Jesus, isn't it? And to walk them while these two disciples, they wanted to follow the Lord Jesus and they were following him. And the Lord turned around and he said.
He said to them, he said.
Umm, what do you want or what CT And what did they want? What did these two disciples want?
Tax.
What was the specific question they asked that was good? That's a good answer.
It said where dwelleth hour? Where do you live? Where are you? Where do you? Where do you stay? And they followed him to where he is. Do you think they wanted to be close to the Lord? You think it's a good thing to want to be where the Lord lives? I think that's a good thing.
I think it is, you know, we read verses in the Bible that say that there's there's verses where two or three are gathered together in mining. They are in mind in the midst of them. You know, it's a wonderful thing to want to be where the Lord is. And these two disciples wanted to be or wanted to see where the Lord lives and where he dwelled and they wanted to follow him. And, you know, I hope that's true of every boy and girl and adult in this room that they want to walk with the Lord. And I'm going to call this the.
The Walk of.
Friendship. I want to be a little bit careful. Maybe the walk of fellowship or community would be a little bit fatter, but they want it to be close to the board. And you know one of the nice things, if we walk with the Lord and we're close to him, you think we're gonna find out where he is and where he isn't?
I think we will and, and I, I don't wanna make any strong statements about that at all, but one of the wonderful things of being close to the Lord is we have I, I remember talking to my mother about this two years ago. Everyone of us has been us a desire, if we know the Lord Jesus as our Savior to be where he is. And that's a wonderful, wonderful thing to have inside us. And these two disciples, they follow the Lord here. And you know, Andrew was one of them and he became a disciple, the Lord, he followed him. Umm.
Right up until the time that he died. So that's the first walk with the Lord. Is that a nice walk with the Lord?
I think it is. I think it's very nice. You know, when items in they couldn't walk with the Lord, he couldn't walk with the Lord anymore. But here the Lord actually came down from heaven to be a man and they could actually walk with him and spend time with him. And, you know, I think they learned wonderful things. And we, we can do that in a, in a sense now too. So that's the the first walk I wanna talk. But the second one I'd like to turn to is in Matthew chapter 14.
00:25:16
This one is a little bit.
Different.
Tough verse 22.
Does anybody know the story of Jesus walking on the water? Do you know the story of Jesus walking on the on the water? There was a Can you tell me what happened?
There's a couple of guys 1516.
Six months, she wants something. I don't know, It's so good.
I go up and let it yolk and then he like, umm, the stuff failed and I'll feel that is very good, Very, very good.
You know, they were, the Lord told them to get in the vocal over the other side, and they rode the boat for a long, long way. It was that they were in the middle of the lake. I think it's like wild or so out to the middle of the lake. I've never rode about that much in Newfoundland, where Bethany Russell lives. I rode about a few 100 meters, and that's been hiring enough. But they were tired and the storm came up and the Lord had told them to do that.
And.
They let's let's just read what it says.
In Matthew 14 verse 24, the ship was now in the midst of the sea, tossed with waves, for the wind was contrary. And in the 4th watch of the night, Jesus went unto them walking on the sea. And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, It is a spirit. And they cried out for fear. I'm gonna talk about this as the walk, the loss of fear, walk walking in fear. And straightway Jesus spake unto them, saying, Be of good truth, cheer it is, I be not afraid. And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come to thee on the water. And he said, come.
And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water to go to Jesus. But when he saw the wind was boisterous, he was afraid and began to sink. He cried, saying, Lord, save me. And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand and caught him, said unto him, O thou little faith, wherefore didst thou thou? And when they were come into the shift, the wind ceased.
Then say that we're in the shift came and worshipped him, saying of a truth, Thou art the Son of God.
So here's another story. And they were scared here.
They were in the middle of the, uh, the lake and the storm came up and they were terrified and they see somebody walking on the water and they thought it was a ghost or something. But then the Lord said it's me, don't be afraid. Peter says to him, He says, if it's you tell me to come to you on the water and he gets out of the boat and can you walk in the water? Walk in the water. But what happened?
He got afraid because of the wind and what happened.
You know what, on Tuesday of this week, in the morning, I have a meeting every morning for the last month. It's from 8:30 to 9:00. And it's where about 10 people come and tell all the problems. And I'm a little bit responsible for what's happening. And I knew it was going to be difficult on Tuesday. I said, Lord, I want to walk with you today. Help me. And you know, I got into that meeting and people started complaining about their problems.
And do you think I kept my eyes on the Lord?
No, I didn't the way that I should. I got my eyes off the Lord and I started this thing. And Dave Lawrence can tell you that Tuesday was not a very good day. But you know, when we keep our eyes on the Lord, he helped us. Yesterday He talked about the chipmunk who was stuck in the barrel. And what did he say? There always was for us when we get into a difficult situation.
It'll be easy to remember.
There's always a stick, always a way, you know. Well, you know, it doesn't talk about Peter walking back to the boat with the board, but I think he did. And the Lord helped him walk in the water. He helped him through the fear of that situation. And, you know, when we walk with the Lord, do you think he can help us when we're afraid?
00:30:03
I think city can. You know, one of the nice things about these stories about walking with the Lord is that in every case it gives them special recognition of who it is. And in this story it says.
Of a truth, thou art the Son of God. The disciples seem to have a special recognition in this situation.
That this was kind of gone in a way that maybe they didn't have before. And you know, that's something that's nice when we try and walk with the Lord.
And this is a special set and that's beautiful. Well, that's another story of somebody walking with the Lord Jesus. I want to read another one, and this one is in Luke chapter.
24.
And this is the story of the two people on the way to.
Emmaus after Jesus died on the cross. Does somebody want to tell me what happens in this story?
One of the children.
Zachary, are you on Howie Well?
Walking down the road and then umm, umm, she came and added to people that they didn't go. I didn't miss him.
And then he was going to go. They they walked to.
A man and he was going to turn back and go to wherever and.
Yeah, they asked him to stay and he did. And they had breaking, they had breaking with breaking and they both at each other and then they looked at him but he wasn't there.
That's very good. Sorry. Yeah, that's a a good story. You know, this is the story of.
I'm going to call it walking when they were sad, walking sadness. So these two people, umm, Cleopas is one of them, I think.
Dave Mearns can tell you who the other one was.
Who is the other person? Dave?
I don't know exactly. The press is way. Perhaps his wife. Yes. And I've I've heard that too. And they were walking away from Jerusalem and, you know, they were sad because there were things happening that they just didn't understand what had happened in Jerusalem that they didn't understand.
The Lord Jesus had died, and who did they thank? The Lord Jesus was Sophia.
Their Savior, their Messiah, and they couldn't figure out, they thought he was going to come down and set up His Kingdom and fix all of the problems that were happening around. And did that happen? No, it didn't. He got crucified and they weren't expecting that to happen. And they didn't remember that He had said that he was going to rise again, although they had heard that from a few people. But they were walking with the Lord Jesus. But you know, the Lord, sometimes when we're having a hard time, sometimes he comes and He walks with us.
Anyway, and isn't isn't that nice when he does that? Let's just read what it says here, because it's beautiful.
Umm, loop 24.
And we'll start in verse 13. Behold two of them with that same day through the village called Emmaus, which is from Jerusalem. Both 3 sport furlongs, and they talked together of all these things which had happened. It came to pass while they commune together and reason Jesus himself.
Drew near, but their eyes were holding, that they should not know him. And he said unto them, What matter of communications are these, that He has one to another as he walks?
In our side.
And the one of them, whose name was Cleophus answering, said unto him, Art thou only a stranger in Jerusalem, and hast not known the things which are come to pass in these days? And then I'm just gonna skip down.
To.
Verse 28 And they drew Nye under the village where they went, and he made as though he would have gone further, but they constrained him, saying, Abide with us for his poor evening. The day was far spent, and he went in to tarry with them. And it came to pass, as he sought to meet with them, he took bread and blessed it, and break and gave to them. And their eyes were open, and they knew him. And he vanished out of their sight. And they said one to another. Did not our heart burn within us, while he talked to us by the way, and while he opened to us the Scripture. And they rose up the same hour and returned to Jerusalem, and family 11 gathered together.
00:35:09
And then that we're with them. That's a nice story. You know, at the end of that, after the Lord walked with him, did they recognize who he was?
Zach had said that they, they, umm, they had bread together. They were bread together, umm, and did did they recognize who he was at?
Yes, yes, it says. Their eyes were opened and they knew him and he vanished out of their side.
You know the Lord can help us when we're sad, He can help us when we're scared, and He loves it when we want to be close to Him.
You know, sometimes I'm sad. I'm.
And but you know, if we spend time with allergies, it helps make make it happen.
And uh, we sang that song. Oh, happy day. I think we gave it out and fixed my choice. When we spend time with the Lord, he can help help us realize what he's done for us. Scissor eyes where they were so happy that they turned around and walked the whole way back where they came from, even though it was late at night. You know, Dave Burns talked about yesterday the first time running was mentioned in the Bible.
This is a hard question.
But does anybody remember why Abraham might have ran?
Pardon.
Yes, and who is he probably recognized if that was the.
Or, uh, or I don't know how much he understood, but.
I think that's part of the reason why you're handing, you know?
The law when we spend time with the Lord and we recognize who he is, He can give us energy that we never thought was possible previously. Well that's the third story of people walking with the Lord. The 4th one is actually in the Old Testament and.
This is a story that I think all of you know.
Does anybody know the story of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego? Yes.
And what happened to them? Would somebody like to tell me the story of Shadrach Meshach? Would you like to tell me that story?
Just quickly, in your own words.
Yes, Nebuchadnezzar. That's a big name.
Very good. Yes, He threw them in the fiery furnace, and what happened? The Lord saved them, and that was what I would call the walk of deliverance.
Or in the fire. And you know, let's just turn to that. It's in Daniel.
You know, I don't know quite why.
This story tells us that they're walking in the fire and if somebody has a thought on that.
I would appreciate it, but you're right, they wouldn't bow down to this. And they were thrown into a the fiery furnace. And what happened to the men who threw them into the fire?
That.
They died because it was, they got too close and it was way too hot. They they died because they got waste. They got too close. It was way too hot. That's right. But the Lord made it so that they didn't get burned at all. They didn't even smell a fire, even their clothes themselves. But either Jordan, did the Lord rescue them from the burning fire fiery furnace? Yes, he did. And what did Nebuchadnezzar see in the fire that he was surprised about?
4-4 people and how many did he throw in?
Three. And who did he think the 4th person was?
Good answer. Let's read what it says.
It says in.
1St.
24 Then Nebuchadnezzar the king was a stonied, and rose up in haste, and said, Fake, and said unto his counselor, Did we not cast three men bound into the midst of the fire? They answered and said unto the king, True, O king, he answered and said, Lo, I see four men loose walking in the midst of the fire, and they have no hurt. And the form of the four is like the Son of God.
00:40:09
You know he had a recognition.
That this was, it looks like the Son of God. You know this. I don't know for sure. This may have been the Lord in a pre Incarnate form before he came into this world as a man. Umm.
But it was very, very special. The Lord actually came and He walked with them in that fire. Do you think the Lord will help us through difficult situations that we have in our life?
I think he will.
You know.
In almost all of these situations, they're not nice situations. Would you have liked to have been with Peter walking on the water if the Lord wasn't there?
No, I wouldn't have been. I wouldn't have you. I don't know what I would have done. I would have been exhausted, tired and terrified. But when the Lord was there, he helped them. He helped them off in the water and in the situation of the two in the road to a base, you know, would it have been sad if the Lord didn't rise from the dead?
That would have been awful, awful, it would have been terrible. But you know, the Lord, umm, turn that situation to around and in this situation, he helped them through the fire and they showed incredible faith here. But you know, Nebuchadnezzar recognizes the form of the fourth was like the Son of God. And you know, the Lord helped him through a very, very, very difficult situation and it actually worked on Nebuchadnezzar's heart.
Too, well, they're the four stories of people walking with the Lord.
And you know, I'm not that it's almost quarter after now, I'm not gonna go into it. But you know, it is very important that we walk with the Lord.
I told you of all the people that, that were mentioned and uh, I'm not gonna go into this, but Enoch walked with God until the Lord actually took him to heaven. Don't you think it'd be nice if we could walk with the Lord until he took us back to heaven? Do you think that would be a nice thing if we walked with the Lord until he came back to take us to heaven? That'd be pretty nice to be able to have that set above to say and you know.
What I the last time I talked about this topic, I talked about the blessings associated with walking with the Lord and I'm just gonna go through them quickly. Umm, these are things that you can look at yourself, but.
It says there's special blessings associated with walking with the Lord. It says, yes, I will walk in my ways and keep my statutes and my commandments. It's like Father David, just walk. Then I will lengthen my days. That's in first kings three. It says in in Psalm one that someone who walks with the Lord will be like a tree planted by the rivers of water. It says in Psalm 84 that no good thing will the Lord withhold from somebody who walks uprightly In uh, in Proverbs 28, it says if you walk uprightly, you'll be saved. It says in Proverbs 28 that if you walk.
Wisely, you'll be delivered. That's what happened to Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. It says, umm, in Isaiah 40 that, uh, it will be able to walk and not faint. It says in, in uh, Jeremiah that if we.
Walk with the Lord the good sorry Sandy in the ways and see and ask for the old password is a good way and walk there in you shall find rest for your soul. If you don't have rest if we walk with the Lord, it says.
It says in Habakkuk at the end of the end of the book it talks about.
Being able to seem like a deer walking on the, on the top of the mountains, You know, I love to hike. And uh, that's one of the blessings associated with walking with the Lord. And you know, in the New Testament, we're told of a whole bunch of different ways that we were walked. We should walk houses to walk. Actually yesterday Ted Porter talked about walking circumspectly, but it says to walk in the spirit and it says to walk in love. And it tells us to walk, umm, honestly. And there's eight different ways It tells us what, you know, it's wonderful for us to be able to walk with the Lord. And I hope everyone in this room.
Has that desire to walk with the Lord and you know it's not always gonna be easy to walk with the Lord, but will he help us every time Will the Lord help us every time he will that's a problem. It says can you finish this first. I will never leave the you know that verse.
Good answer because I will never leave your completely. The Lord will never leave us or forsake us. Well, it's.
Our time is up, but, uh, that's something I think you guys, every one of us to spend more time, you know, there's over 300 references in the Bible to walking and, uh, there's tremendous blessing associated with it. And I hope it's a desire that every one of us in this room has. You know, it's a very individual thing. I don't know what problems Dale Steward has in his life. I'm sure his life is perfect.

But if you walk with the Lord, you think they'll help you now?
You most definitely will. And you know, I could talk to anybody in this room. And you know, I think if you were, if you were to ask them when you tried to walk with the Lord, did he help you? What do you think their answer would be?
Exactly. Yeah, that's right. And he'll help us right until he comes back to take us home before let's let's pray.
Our God and Father, we just thank you very much for the boys and girls in this room. And this little topic that we've had before is of walking.
Umm, with the Lord, what an incredible privilege it is to be able to do that and to know that we don't have to be scared and hide ourselves anymore like Adam and Eve did, But to know that if we put our trust in the, our sins are forgiven. And that we can be like Andrew, the other disciple who followed and desired to be where Lord Jesus thou art. And Lord help us when we're scared to walk with thee, help us when we're saddened to walk with thee. Lord, help us.
When we're in the fire.
To Aquafree and Lord help us to be like Enoch. So it could be said that he walked with D for 300 years and uh, he was not for Godfather. Praying for the boys and girls as this world gets worse and there's so much more evil around us that they will learn to walk with thee personally and individually if we just ask this in the name of the Lord Jesus anyway.
