00:00:00.739 --> 00:00:05.379
Howdy. It's time to go home for Thanksgiving

00:00:05.379 --> 00:00:08.460
break. If you're not really sure what you're

00:00:08.460 --> 00:00:12.220
walking into as you come home from college, you

00:00:12.220 --> 00:00:15.140
know you and your dad cannot talk about politics.

00:00:15.919 --> 00:00:19.120
Not because either one of you lacks for opinions,

00:00:19.620 --> 00:00:23.339
but because both of you have way too many. Your

00:00:23.339 --> 00:00:27.000
mom has opinions about, well, everything you've

00:00:27.000 --> 00:00:30.059
done the last few months. Your sleep schedule,

00:00:30.280 --> 00:00:33.200
your major, your laundry habits, anyone you might

00:00:33.200 --> 00:00:36.460
be dating, possibly your haircut, definitely

00:00:36.460 --> 00:00:40.479
your diet. Your brother is annoyed by your existence,

00:00:40.759 --> 00:00:43.439
which to be fair has been his spiritual gift

00:00:43.439 --> 00:00:47.320
since birth. And your sister loves you, but maybe

00:00:47.320 --> 00:00:50.700
resents that you left, and she's still the one

00:00:50.700 --> 00:00:53.520
doing the dishes. And all of that is waiting

00:00:53.520 --> 00:00:57.259
for you. As you walk in the door, drop your bag,

00:00:57.600 --> 00:01:01.520
take a breath, and suddenly realize something

00:01:01.520 --> 00:01:07.159
simple, you are really hungry. Sure, you've survived

00:01:07.159 --> 00:01:09.859
on pizza rolls and technically they're edible

00:01:09.859 --> 00:01:14.060
and legally considered food in most states, nutritionally

00:01:14.060 --> 00:01:17.299
questionable, but don't even get started on the

00:01:17.299 --> 00:01:21.739
ramen. There's a deeper hunger though, a hunger

00:01:21.739 --> 00:01:24.620
for a place where you're safe, where no one is

00:01:24.620 --> 00:01:27.019
grading you, where you don't have to prove anything.

00:01:27.439 --> 00:01:32.019
where you can just be you. And somehow, even

00:01:32.019 --> 00:01:34.700
with all the opinions and tensions and unresolved

00:01:34.700 --> 00:01:39.280
group chats, home is still that place. Because

00:01:39.280 --> 00:01:42.659
at home, there's a table. And at that table,

00:01:42.659 --> 00:01:46.519
there's a chair. And somehow, that chair will

00:01:46.519 --> 00:01:51.379
always be yours. Sometimes, though, it isn't

00:01:51.379 --> 00:01:56.700
even a holiday table. Sometimes, though, we find

00:01:56.700 --> 00:02:00.200
ourselves at a hospital room with cold takeout

00:02:00.200 --> 00:02:03.599
balanced on a rolling tray, family members who

00:02:03.599 --> 00:02:06.980
haven't slept, paper cups of coffee that have

00:02:06.980 --> 00:02:11.180
long since gone lukewarm, and still someone says,

00:02:12.020 --> 00:02:15.719
did you eat? You should eat something. Because

00:02:15.719 --> 00:02:17.900
no matter where you are or the circumstance,

00:02:18.740 --> 00:02:22.139
there are some people where you always belong

00:02:22.139 --> 00:02:26.210
and are cared for. Not because food fixes everything

00:02:26.210 --> 00:02:29.789
and not because the moment isn't still fragile

00:02:29.789 --> 00:02:33.110
and frightening But because sitting down together

00:02:33.110 --> 00:02:37.229
Even in the middle of fear is a quiet way of

00:02:37.229 --> 00:02:42.050
saying You are not alone You still belong here

00:02:42.050 --> 00:02:45.550
and that small ordinary table wherever it may

00:02:45.550 --> 00:02:50.210
be becomes a place of mercy So what does it mean

00:02:50.210 --> 00:02:53.129
when you know that there's a table waiting for

00:02:53.129 --> 00:02:55.900
you? and a place already set with your name on

00:02:55.900 --> 00:02:59.979
it. When that quiet longing, that deep, stubborn

00:02:59.979 --> 00:03:04.199
hunger is closer to longing for God than we usually

00:03:04.199 --> 00:03:07.560
admit. Not with arguments prepared, not with

00:03:07.560 --> 00:03:11.759
performances, but with invitation. Because Scripture

00:03:11.759 --> 00:03:14.800
keeps telling the same story. God does not meet

00:03:14.800 --> 00:03:19.569
us with a test. God meets us with a table. And

00:03:19.569 --> 00:03:23.349
if you remember what we saw in baptism, God meets

00:03:23.349 --> 00:03:26.930
us in ordinary ways. Water poured on a humble

00:03:26.930 --> 00:03:30.710
head. Promises spoken. A new life quietly begun.

00:03:31.330 --> 00:03:34.889
Not with spectacle or performance. Just water.

00:03:35.409 --> 00:03:40.129
Words. Promise. And somehow, through something

00:03:40.129 --> 00:03:44.330
that's ordinary, God says, you are mine. You

00:03:44.330 --> 00:03:49.000
belong. Welcome home. God's presence turns the

00:03:49.000 --> 00:03:51.659
ordinary into something extraordinary. Coming

00:03:51.659 --> 00:03:55.439
to God's table is not about impressing Him. It's

00:03:55.439 --> 00:03:59.099
about coming home. It's about discovering you

00:03:59.099 --> 00:04:02.360
were invited before you ever knocked on the door.

00:04:03.219 --> 00:04:06.180
So imagine being a people with the table set

00:04:06.180 --> 00:04:10.060
before you in the wilderness and not quite knowing

00:04:10.060 --> 00:04:14.479
what to do with it. Israel had just left Egypt.

00:04:14.599 --> 00:04:18.420
and 400 years of slavery. Freedom is still new

00:04:18.420 --> 00:04:22.000
for them. Generations who had never tasted freedom.

00:04:22.439 --> 00:04:24.540
Generations who had forgotten what dignity felt

00:04:24.540 --> 00:04:30.019
like. Suddenly, they're free. Which sounds wonderful,

00:04:30.639 --> 00:04:34.959
until you realize freedom also means no ready

00:04:34.959 --> 00:04:40.740
food supply. No army. No map. No idea what comes

00:04:40.740 --> 00:04:45.180
next. Freedom is glorious. And freedom is also

00:04:45.180 --> 00:04:48.879
terrifying. And now they stand at Mount Sinai,

00:04:49.100 --> 00:04:52.939
a place where they are called a place meant to

00:04:52.939 --> 00:04:55.920
be safe, a place where they are named the people

00:04:55.920 --> 00:05:01.300
of God, and yet also astonishing. But what is

00:05:01.300 --> 00:05:03.579
astonishing is not just the thunder, the fire,

00:05:03.680 --> 00:05:06.600
the giant cloud, the ground trembling beneath

00:05:06.600 --> 00:05:10.720
their feet. It is that God is here and He is

00:05:10.720 --> 00:05:15.750
drawing them close. not to destroy them, not

00:05:15.750 --> 00:05:18.269
to test whether they're worthy, but to bring

00:05:18.269 --> 00:05:22.550
them to His table. If you were there, you would

00:05:22.550 --> 00:05:26.389
expect judgment. Distance, a warning line in

00:05:26.389 --> 00:05:30.850
the sand, do not come near to God, but something

00:05:30.850 --> 00:05:35.290
astonishing happens instead. The leaders of Israel

00:05:35.290 --> 00:05:40.629
go up the mountain into the presence of God.

00:05:41.449 --> 00:05:45.769
and they eat their meal. Try to feel how strange

00:05:45.769 --> 00:05:48.730
that moment really is. Sandals scraping against

00:05:48.730 --> 00:05:51.889
stone, air thick with smoke and thunder still

00:05:51.889 --> 00:05:55.430
echoing in their bones, every step upward wondering

00:05:55.430 --> 00:05:59.170
if this is the step where holiness breaks out

00:05:59.170 --> 00:06:02.290
against them. Because all their lives they had

00:06:02.290 --> 00:06:06.569
learned that sinners do not stroll casually into

00:06:06.569 --> 00:06:11.560
the presence of the living God. And yet, There

00:06:11.560 --> 00:06:15.379
is no lightning strike. There's no voice of condemnation.

00:06:15.399 --> 00:06:19.839
There's no command to turn back. It's only a

00:06:19.839 --> 00:06:24.899
table. Only food. Only the quiet permission to

00:06:24.899 --> 00:06:29.639
sit and live. Holiness did not consume them.

00:06:30.079 --> 00:06:33.759
Holiness made room for them. And the most astonishing

00:06:33.759 --> 00:06:37.279
miracle on that mountain was not the fire, or

00:06:37.279 --> 00:06:40.959
the cloud, or the shaking earth. It was that

00:06:40.959 --> 00:06:44.459
sinners sat down in peace and ate in the presence

00:06:44.459 --> 00:06:49.759
of God. Not a table in the presence of enemies,

00:06:50.620 --> 00:06:55.300
but a table in the presence of holiness. Because

00:06:55.300 --> 00:06:59.279
God's first instinct is not destruction, it is

00:06:59.279 --> 00:07:03.079
welcome. We know that these are not perfect people.

00:07:03.399 --> 00:07:06.860
We already know the failures that will come.

00:07:07.439 --> 00:07:11.180
golden calves with Aaron and the people complaining

00:07:11.180 --> 00:07:14.660
against Moses, power struggles, and even broken

00:07:14.660 --> 00:07:19.800
worship with Nadab and Abihu. And still, God

00:07:19.800 --> 00:07:23.560
welcomes them to eat in His presence. If God

00:07:23.560 --> 00:07:26.720
were waiting for holiness first, this meal would

00:07:26.720 --> 00:07:32.060
never happen. But God's table is not where the

00:07:32.060 --> 00:07:35.459
worthy are rewarded. It is where the unworthy

00:07:35.459 --> 00:07:41.120
are received. and slowly transformed. Which means

00:07:41.120 --> 00:07:46.339
the meal itself is grace. That sounds strangely

00:07:46.339 --> 00:07:49.379
familiar, doesn't it? This tells us something

00:07:49.379 --> 00:07:52.459
beautiful about God's heart toward us. He welcomes

00:07:52.459 --> 00:07:56.600
us to eat, gathers us near, and brings us to

00:07:56.600 --> 00:08:00.579
the place where we belong before we have become

00:08:00.579 --> 00:08:04.519
who we are meant to be. Blessed are the poor

00:08:04.519 --> 00:08:08.220
in spirit. Blessed are the meek, blessed are

00:08:08.220 --> 00:08:12.779
the hungry. Not the impressive, not the powerful,

00:08:13.319 --> 00:08:19.240
not the put together, just the ones who come

00:08:19.240 --> 00:08:23.519
hungry. And like the Beatitudes, God's blessing

00:08:23.519 --> 00:08:26.980
rests not on the impressive, but on the humble,

00:08:27.259 --> 00:08:32.019
the meek, the ordinary, those willing simply

00:08:32.019 --> 00:08:36.019
to receive. At God's table, fear becomes welcome,

00:08:36.340 --> 00:08:38.779
and welcome becomes the beginning of everything

00:08:38.779 --> 00:08:43.919
new. What a strange thing, really, to sit in

00:08:43.919 --> 00:08:47.620
the presence of God and simply eat. No fear,

00:08:47.799 --> 00:08:50.759
no proving, just a presence as powerful as we

00:08:50.759 --> 00:08:55.340
need it to be. And yet, when we are welcomed,

00:08:56.220 --> 00:08:58.179
when we finally find a place where we belong,

00:08:58.240 --> 00:09:01.620
we often take it for granted, because it feels

00:09:01.620 --> 00:09:08.230
so normal. So every day. But fast forward centuries.

00:09:09.250 --> 00:09:11.649
This is what we've been seeing these past weeks

00:09:11.649 --> 00:09:14.669
from Jesus. In baptism where something as simple

00:09:14.669 --> 00:09:17.490
as water becomes a doorway into the kingdom.

00:09:17.990 --> 00:09:20.230
In the Beatitudes where the blessed are not the

00:09:20.230 --> 00:09:23.190
impressive but the humble, the meek, the ordinary.

00:09:23.909 --> 00:09:27.029
In being salt and light where faithfulness looks

00:09:27.029 --> 00:09:30.470
less like fireworks and more like feeding the

00:09:30.470 --> 00:09:33.429
hungry. caring for the poor and loving your neighbor,

00:09:33.450 --> 00:09:37.049
whoever they may be. But now we're on another

00:09:37.049 --> 00:09:42.490
mountain. Different people, same God. Peter,

00:09:42.830 --> 00:09:46.649
James, and John, they climb up with Jesus. Suddenly,

00:09:49.169 --> 00:09:53.909
everything changes. Suddenly, this quiet, ordinary

00:09:53.909 --> 00:09:57.590
road explodes with glory. Light brighter than

00:09:57.590 --> 00:10:01.440
sunlight. History... standing there in conversation,

00:10:02.019 --> 00:10:05.659
the weight of glory pressing into the air. This

00:10:05.659 --> 00:10:10.080
is the kind of moment that the religious people

00:10:10.080 --> 00:10:15.039
were dreaming about. Light, voices, Moses, Elijah,

00:10:15.259 --> 00:10:19.399
proof, power, vindication of everything they

00:10:19.399 --> 00:10:23.639
had been doing. Finally, something undeniable.

00:10:24.139 --> 00:10:28.970
And Peter thinks, this is it. The turning point.

00:10:29.210 --> 00:10:32.950
The moment God fixes everything. The moment that

00:10:32.950 --> 00:10:37.470
the power of the Messiah arrives. There's Elijah.

00:10:37.970 --> 00:10:41.309
This is what we were expecting. This is the day

00:10:41.309 --> 00:10:45.289
everyone finally understands the Messiah is here.

00:10:45.590 --> 00:10:48.809
And of course he thinks that. Because he spent

00:10:48.809 --> 00:10:52.269
his whole life under the weight of someone else's

00:10:52.269 --> 00:10:56.279
empire. watching his people strain under taxes

00:10:56.279 --> 00:11:00.139
and soldiers and shame, hearing promises that

00:11:00.139 --> 00:11:06.379
someday God would act, really act, and set things

00:11:06.379 --> 00:11:10.220
straight with someone powerful. So when the mountain

00:11:10.220 --> 00:11:14.179
suddenly burns with glory, when the heroes of

00:11:14.179 --> 00:11:17.580
Israel's story are standing there alive, when

00:11:17.580 --> 00:11:20.980
heaven itself feels close enough to touch, how

00:11:20.980 --> 00:11:24.659
could this not be the moment that everything

00:11:24.659 --> 00:11:28.100
changes. And of course he wants to hold onto

00:11:28.100 --> 00:11:31.500
it. Of course he wants to build something permanent.

00:11:32.120 --> 00:11:35.799
Because if the glory could just stay, then maybe

00:11:35.799 --> 00:11:39.179
the suffering wouldn't have to come. So he starts

00:11:39.179 --> 00:11:42.580
talking. Because when humans encounter something

00:11:42.580 --> 00:11:47.080
glorious, we either fall silent, or we start

00:11:47.080 --> 00:11:51.840
building plans. Let's build tents. Let's organize

00:11:51.840 --> 00:11:55.500
this. Let's capture the moment, because Peter

00:11:55.500 --> 00:12:01.399
still expects a messiah of spectacle, of judgment

00:12:01.399 --> 00:12:05.279
against their foes, of reversal of so much evil,

00:12:05.820 --> 00:12:10.960
of fire from heaven to bring their victory. But

00:12:10.960 --> 00:12:15.759
heaven interrupts him. Not with instructions

00:12:15.759 --> 00:12:21.929
to build, not with strategy. Just a voice Listen

00:12:21.929 --> 00:12:25.909
to my son Because the glory on the mountain is

00:12:25.909 --> 00:12:29.950
that's not the destination It's a sign pointing

00:12:29.950 --> 00:12:34.970
somewhere quieter, but far more costly Jesus

00:12:34.970 --> 00:12:38.830
is not asking for people to perform. He does

00:12:38.830 --> 00:12:45.429
not want this moment to become the focus be still

00:12:45.429 --> 00:12:51.860
receive listen The glory is real, but the invitation

00:12:51.860 --> 00:12:55.799
is quiet. They had already heard that invitation

00:12:55.799 --> 00:12:59.120
once, from the voice crying in the wilderness,

00:12:59.460 --> 00:13:02.820
prepare the way, repent, be made humble, and

00:13:02.820 --> 00:13:07.620
many didn't listen. Which means they were not

00:13:07.620 --> 00:13:10.480
going to recognize the kind of Messiah that Jesus

00:13:10.480 --> 00:13:14.220
truly is. The one who doesn't come with spectacle,

00:13:15.320 --> 00:13:20.029
but with presence. down the mountain, toward

00:13:20.029 --> 00:13:24.429
the suffering, toward the table, toward the cross.

00:13:25.129 --> 00:13:28.269
And that is much harder for people to accept

00:13:28.269 --> 00:13:32.269
than fireworks, because we still prefer a dazzling

00:13:32.269 --> 00:13:37.769
God over the present one we have. But the kingdom

00:13:37.769 --> 00:13:42.250
keeps arriving in smaller ways. Water on a forehead,

00:13:42.649 --> 00:13:45.929
bread in your hand, wine on our lips, love in

00:13:45.929 --> 00:13:51.480
ordinary places. God's glory rarely shouts. More

00:13:51.480 --> 00:13:55.379
often it sits quietly beside you and waits to

00:13:55.379 --> 00:14:00.899
be noticed. Our witness then is not to be spectacular,

00:14:01.980 --> 00:14:06.120
it is that we live faithfully in ordinary love.

00:14:06.860 --> 00:14:10.580
Because God's glory so often appears not in dazzling

00:14:10.580 --> 00:14:13.600
moments but in the quiet places where He is already

00:14:13.600 --> 00:14:17.509
near. the places where we can truly know Him.

00:14:18.629 --> 00:14:23.029
Not only as God above us, but as God with us,

00:14:23.450 --> 00:14:27.210
as God in the flesh. And then comes the night

00:14:27.210 --> 00:14:32.210
when everything falls apart. Betrayal was in

00:14:32.210 --> 00:14:35.009
motion, denial was already whispering in the

00:14:35.009 --> 00:14:38.590
shadows, and violence was only hours away. Jesus

00:14:38.590 --> 00:14:41.330
knows what is coming. He sees the cross ahead.

00:14:41.769 --> 00:14:44.950
If there were ever a moment for Jesus to display

00:14:44.950 --> 00:14:48.970
power, this would be it. And what does He do?

00:14:49.970 --> 00:14:55.470
He sets a table. No army, no escape plan, no

00:14:55.470 --> 00:14:58.429
giant explanation or defense of His ministry,

00:14:59.129 --> 00:15:02.950
no final miracle to leave with one final display

00:15:02.950 --> 00:15:09.490
of glory. He sits down. He eats. He drinks. He

00:15:09.490 --> 00:15:12.139
stays with the ones that He loves. the friends

00:15:12.139 --> 00:15:17.120
who do not yet understand. He gives them the

00:15:17.120 --> 00:15:23.240
holiest moment of all with an ordinary meal made

00:15:23.240 --> 00:15:27.440
extraordinary by His presence. An ordinary room,

00:15:27.519 --> 00:15:30.399
quiet, lit by flickering light, hands reaching

00:15:30.399 --> 00:15:32.480
for the bread the way they always have, voices

00:15:32.480 --> 00:15:35.320
murmuring, someone shifting in their seat, someone

00:15:35.320 --> 00:15:39.049
avoiding eye contacts. Nothing that looks like

00:15:39.049 --> 00:15:41.129
the end of the world, but nothing that looks

00:15:41.129 --> 00:15:44.590
like salvation either. But Jesus gives them bread.

00:15:45.629 --> 00:15:49.570
He gives them wine. He gives them Himself. When

00:15:49.570 --> 00:15:52.730
the world was breaking, Jesus did not explain

00:15:52.730 --> 00:15:57.149
it. He fed them. This is what communion is. And

00:15:57.149 --> 00:15:59.889
this is what happens every time we gather at

00:15:59.889 --> 00:16:05.870
God's table. Not perfection. Not spectacle. Not

00:16:05.870 --> 00:16:09.669
something polished or impressive, but simply

00:16:09.669 --> 00:16:15.110
this, the presence of Christ. Hungry people fed

00:16:15.110 --> 00:16:18.990
at His table. Grace given freely and abundantly

00:16:18.990 --> 00:16:22.809
to everyone. And we discover again that we belong

00:16:22.809 --> 00:16:28.149
to one another as His body. Ordinary elements

00:16:28.149 --> 00:16:31.769
with extraordinary mercy. Not because of what

00:16:31.769 --> 00:16:35.340
we feel, but because of what He promises. And

00:16:35.340 --> 00:16:38.639
just as in baptism, this is grace, not that we

00:16:38.639 --> 00:16:42.220
achieve, but that's freely given. And in God's

00:16:42.220 --> 00:16:46.120
hands, even bread and wine become more than ordinary.

00:16:46.919 --> 00:16:50.399
They carry His presence. They proclaim His sacrifice.

00:16:50.480 --> 00:16:54.179
They feed us with a life that is not our own,

00:16:54.460 --> 00:16:58.419
a miraculous reality given in the simplest way

00:16:58.419 --> 00:17:03.840
possible. Not distant, not just symbolic. but

00:17:03.840 --> 00:17:07.279
God Himself drawing near to gather His people

00:17:07.279 --> 00:17:11.920
at the table of His love. And suddenly, Sinai

00:17:11.920 --> 00:17:15.599
makes sense. The mountain of glory makes sense

00:17:15.599 --> 00:17:19.119
because they were always leading here to this

00:17:19.119 --> 00:17:25.319
table, to God feeding His people. As we are entering

00:17:25.319 --> 00:17:29.980
this season of Lent, we remember something simple

00:17:29.980 --> 00:17:34.539
yet easily forgotten. The miracle is not in the

00:17:34.539 --> 00:17:37.960
spectacular. It is in the ordinary presence of

00:17:37.960 --> 00:17:42.000
God. A meal with the elders. Jesus feeding His

00:17:42.000 --> 00:17:46.140
disciples. A quiet table of communion. The glory

00:17:46.140 --> 00:17:49.220
is not in what we do to earn it, but in what

00:17:49.220 --> 00:17:52.740
God has already done. Welcoming us, feeding us,

00:17:52.819 --> 00:17:55.859
inviting us to sit at His table. Because God

00:17:55.859 --> 00:18:01.079
is with us in the weakness. God is feeding us.

00:18:01.579 --> 00:18:06.279
in His mercy. God is staying when we would have

00:18:06.279 --> 00:18:11.720
walked away. So we don't come to perform. We

00:18:11.720 --> 00:18:16.420
are here to receive. And having been fed, then

00:18:16.420 --> 00:18:21.339
we are sent. Not to dazzle the world, but to

00:18:21.339 --> 00:18:25.920
love it. To be salt, to be light, to carry everyday

00:18:25.920 --> 00:18:29.460
ordinary grace into everyday ordinary times.

00:18:30.400 --> 00:18:33.240
Because the table is not the end of the story.

00:18:33.299 --> 00:18:37.220
It is the beginning of a people sent into the

00:18:37.220 --> 00:18:40.240
world not to impress, but to remain faithful

00:18:40.240 --> 00:18:45.539
in a thousand unseen moments. Because Christ

00:18:45.539 --> 00:18:48.980
has already set our table. We are already welcomed.

00:18:49.220 --> 00:18:53.339
We're already fed. We're already home. So as

00:18:53.339 --> 00:18:56.200
you leave today and go back into the rest of

00:18:56.200 --> 00:18:58.799
your life for the week, the presence of Christ

00:18:58.799 --> 00:19:02.920
is with you. You carry it into kitchens, offices,

00:19:03.500 --> 00:19:06.900
hospitals, classrooms, quiet conversations that

00:19:06.900 --> 00:19:10.140
none of the rest of us will ever see. In your

00:19:10.140 --> 00:19:13.079
relationships, in your work, in every quiet place

00:19:13.079 --> 00:19:17.920
where love is given in His name. And that, more

00:19:17.920 --> 00:19:20.059
than any mountain of light, is where the glory

00:19:20.059 --> 00:19:22.500
of God keeps appearing. Because the glory of

00:19:22.500 --> 00:19:26.579
God is not only on the mountaintop. It's here,

00:19:27.539 --> 00:19:34.000
with you. with our everyday life. One day, after

00:19:34.000 --> 00:19:36.940
all the long roads that you've walked, after

00:19:36.940 --> 00:19:39.819
every sorrow that you've followed, after every

00:19:39.819 --> 00:19:43.839
hunger you tried to hide, you will come to a

00:19:43.839 --> 00:19:47.539
home you did not build, and the door will already

00:19:47.539 --> 00:19:50.799
be open. The light will be on and the table will

00:19:50.799 --> 00:19:56.220
be set. And your chair will be waiting with your

00:19:56.220 --> 00:20:01.109
name. Not because you made it home on your own

00:20:01.109 --> 00:20:06.750
but because Christ has made a home for you Welcome

00:20:06.750 --> 00:20:09.289
home. Thanks be to God
