00:00What I wanna do is I wanna ask you
00:02about your favorite genre of movies.
00:08Those of you online, you can type in the comment section
00:10whichever one is your favorite,
00:12but those of you at all of our live churches,
00:15I need you just to shout out when I hit the correct genre,
00:19because you know which one is right
00:22and your spouse is wrong, right?
00:25So let's go ahead and start off right.
00:27How many of you would say, beyond a shadow of a doubt,
00:28action movies are the best?
00:31Action movies are the best.
00:32All right, I agree.
00:38Just so you know.
00:39How many of you would say, no, not action,
00:41but we're gonna go with comedies?
00:42The world is complicated and people are mean,
00:47you gotta laugh sometimes.
00:48How many would say, not comedies, but oh my gosh,
00:51of course, it's superhero movies.
00:55Life is not right without some Spider-Man,
00:58some Superman, some Ant-Man, right?
01:01Okay, let's go to, not that, but let's say thrillers.
01:05Thrillers, almost no thrillers.
01:08You guys need some thrill in your life, it's what you need.
01:12I see dead people.
01:14That's like the worst and best moment of my entire life.
01:18If you don't know what I'm talking about,
01:19that's why you didn't cheer for thrillers.
01:20Now, give me a second.
01:23I've got action, I've got comedy,
01:26I've got superhero, I've got thrillers.
01:28I think that's all of them.
01:30What am I forgetting?
01:31What am I forgetting?
01:32Rom, oh yeah, I forgot.
01:34Must be rom-coms.
01:36For every pride and prejudice, I get to watch three action.
01:44That's the rule at our house.
01:47Some of you love the rom-coms.
01:49Well, if this book of the Bible
01:53that we're going to study were a movie,
01:56it would be a chick flick.
01:58Just, you need you to know.
01:59We're not talking no Sylvester Stallone, no Liam Neeson.
02:04We're all Jennifer Aniston and Drew Barrymore.
02:07That's who's in this movie.
02:09Bad news for you action folks.
02:11There's no shootouts, no explosions,
02:14and no car chases in this story.
02:18Instead, we've actually got a couple of women
02:23and a heck of a lot of talking.
02:26And just so you'll know how much I studied,
02:33of the 85 verses in this book of the Bible,
02:3955 of them are dialogue.
02:43That's why this is a chick flick.
02:48And as we look at this story,
02:50it's an amazing, powerful story.
02:55There's no way to express what you're going to experience
02:58from God in the next few weeks.
03:01But there's tragedy in this story,
03:04just as there's tragedy in the lives
03:06of so many people that we love.
03:09Sadly, we're actually gonna see two women
03:11that lost everything.
03:13And God is very, very present,
03:16but not in the way that you might expect.
03:19This is perhaps one of two books in the Bible
03:21where you don't see any physical miracles from God.
03:25There's no parting the Red Sea,
03:26there's no healing of the sick,
03:28there's no raising of the dead,
03:29but on every page or in every verse,
03:32you will see the presence and the power
03:37and the providence of a very, very good God.
03:42This is a powerful, intimate, life-changing book
03:45of the Bible that will speak to those of you
03:47that are hurting right now or are discouraged right now,
03:52or maybe you're losing hope,
03:54and you believe that God has something better for you.
03:58If you feel stuck in a place that you know you shouldn't be,
04:04this book will speak to you.
04:06We'll look in verse one.
04:08The very beginning of the book says this,
04:10in the days when the judges ruled, gotta stop there.
04:16In the days when the judges ruled.
04:18In other words, in the days when there were no kings.
04:19Now, in the book of Ruth,
04:22if you're looking in a paper Bible,
04:25what book comes right before the book of Ruth?
04:28Does anybody know?
04:29It's the book of Judges, okay?
04:31The book of Judges, and there's one verse
04:33you see over and over and over again in the book of Judges.
04:36The very last verse in the book of Judges
04:38says that in the days when the judges ruled,
04:41in other words, in the days when there were no kings,
04:43everyone did what was right in their own eyes.
04:48In the days when there were no kings,
04:50in the days when the judges ruled,
04:51everyone did whatever felt right in their own eyes.
04:58Sounds a little bit like today.
05:02Just wanna show you the connection.
05:05In the days when the judges ruled,
05:07there was a famine in the land,
05:09and so we're gonna see a family
05:11that is going to be afraid
05:13they're not gonna be able to eat,
05:14and so they're gonna make a move.
05:16So a man from Bethlehem in Judah,
05:19together with his wife and two sons,
05:21went to live for a while in the country of Moab.
05:25This man's name was Elimelech.
05:29Everybody say Elimelech.
05:30Elimelech.
05:31I just wanted you to enjoy it.
05:33It's really fun to say, Elimelech.
05:35This man's name was Elimelech.
05:37His wife's name was Naomi,
05:40and the names of his two sons were Malon and Kilion.
05:44They were Ephrodites from Bethlehem, Judah,
05:48and they went to Moab and lived there.
05:53They were from Bethlehem,
05:54and they went to Moab, and they lived there.
05:56So let's break down the characters
05:58so we'll know the main characters in this plot.
06:01We have, first of all, Elimelech.
06:04He is the husband and the father,
06:06and his name means, my God is king.
06:11Then we have the wife, the mom, Naomi.
06:14Her name means sweet or pleasant.
06:17Then we have the two children,
06:19and to understand how they would name their children
06:22in this time is they would generally name their children
06:25based on one of two things.
06:26Either they would name them kind of prophetically
06:29based on what they wanted to see,
06:30like we would call him strong,
06:32or we might call her godly or pure,
06:36or they would name them based on what they saw,
06:39like they might say, ugly feet.
06:42That's what they might have called me.
06:44And in this case, it's very likely
06:46they named their children based on what they saw
06:50when they were born.
06:51Their two names were Malon, which means sick or sickly,
06:56and Kilion, which means frail or tired.
06:59So they probably were born and struggled early on.
07:02So their names are sick and tired.
07:04I'd like for you to meet my two sons, sick and tired.
07:09Some of you are going like,
07:10I didn't know that was an option.
07:11Can I change the names of my kids?
07:14You know, here we are.
07:15And so what you've got is we've got a guy
07:17named My God is King.
07:18We've got sweet and pleasant with sick and tired,
07:21and My God is King, Elimelech, is worried about his family
07:25because of the famine, so he moves his family
07:27from Bethlehem to Moab.
07:30Give you an example of what this would look like.
07:33Bethlehem, he would have had to go around the Dead Sea
07:35to Moab.
07:36It's about a 50-mile journey,
07:39so if you walked three miles an hour,
07:41it might take you 16 or 17 hours,
07:44maybe a long day or a couple days journey
07:47to get to Bethlehem.
07:49He leaves, I mean, you get to Moab, he leaves Bethlehem,
07:53and he takes his family to Moab,
07:56which ended up being a horrible mistake.
08:01He moves his family to Moab,
08:04where God had strictly forbidden his people
08:08from living in Moab.
08:10You may say, why, what's wrong with Moab?
08:12Well, the Moabites were descendants of Moab.
08:17If you don't know who Moab is,
08:19you can read about him in Genesis 19.
08:22There's a story when Lot's daughters got him,
08:25their dad, drunk, and they slept with him
08:28and conceived a son named Moab.
08:32So the Moabites were conceived out of incest,
08:36and that was the beginning of their issues.
08:39They also worshiped the false god Chemosh,
08:42and they honestly would sacrifice children
08:46to this false god.
08:48If you wonder what the God of Israel thought of Moab,
08:53in Psalm 60, verse eight, he said,
08:55Moab is my wash basin.
08:59In other words, this is where I wash my dirty feet.
09:02So Elimelech took his family from Bethlehem,
09:05which means house of bread, to Moab,
09:08to a place that God had forbidden them to go.
09:10So when you think about it, it's really interesting.
09:12Elimelech means my god is king,
09:17but he wasn't living like God was his king.
09:21Instead, he was doing what was right in his own eyes,
09:28just like so many people today.
09:32Now, I don't wanna be too hard on him
09:34because there was a famine,
09:36and so he was probably thinking, if I go to Moab,
09:38there's gonna be a better economy, I can get a better job,
09:40I can provide a better life for my family.
09:43You can understand that,
09:45but I would just issue a gentle spiritual warning
09:50that may be for some of you.
09:53I've noticed that when it comes to our families,
09:57we're often tempted to prioritize economic provision
10:02over spiritual protection.
10:06In other words, if someone has a job offer somewhere else,
10:10and the job offer is for more money,
10:12most people just assume that must be the place to go.
10:17And oftentimes, it is.
10:19Sometimes it is the blessings of God to go
10:21and to have a better provision for your family,
10:24and so you can be more generous, but sometimes it's not.
10:28I've seen many times people that are thriving spiritually,
10:31close to God, plugged into Christian community,
10:35in an awesome church, go somewhere for a little more money,
10:38and they get somewhere else,
10:40and they have more money and less God.
10:42Yeah.
10:44Be very careful not to always prioritize economics
10:49over the presence of God.
10:53So things are a little tough in Bethlehem.
10:56So he leaves, and he goes to Moab,
10:59the sinful land of Moab,
11:01because times got tough in Bethlehem.
11:07So what do you do when times get tough?
11:13When times get tough,
11:15do you continue to trust and obey God in Bethlehem,
11:21or do you leave and go to Moab?
11:25What do you do when times get tough?
11:28Because most of you would say, I'm a Christian,
11:31or you would say, my God is the king of my life,
11:35and so I wanna trust and obey his word.
11:37And maybe you're dating, and his word says,
11:39you know, we're not gonna have sex until we're married.
11:41This is reserved for the covenant of marriage,
11:43so I'm gonna obey God.
11:45And then you say, but I've been dating and waiting,
11:47and I've got this deep desire for mating.
11:52I've got my needs.
11:56So do you trust and obey God,
12:00or do you move to Moab?
12:03My God is the king of my life,
12:05and therefore I will honor him with what I have,
12:07and I will return to him 10% of what he blesses me with
12:11in the form of the tithe that is not mine,
12:14but it belongs to him.
12:17And then money gets tight, and that thing goes on sale,
12:22and you wanna buy it.
12:25Do you trust and obey God, or do you move to Moab?
12:30My God is the king of my life, I'm a Christian,
12:33and so I'm gonna stop getting drunk,
12:36and I stop getting drunk,
12:39and then I have a really bad day,
12:43and I'm really stressed out.
12:45So do you trust and obey God,
12:48or do you move to Moab?
12:53Because I'll shoot straight with you,
12:54and it's true for me too.
12:56When times get tough, Moab looks tempting.
13:01You guys are being real quiet,
13:02like you've never seen Moab in your life.
13:04I mean, listen, I'm not judging.
13:06I understand this guy's dilemma.
13:09He's worried about his family,
13:11and so he does what feels right in his own eyes.
13:16Honestly, most of us have gone to Moab
13:19under far less pressure.
13:23My God is king of my life,
13:27but sometimes we do what's right in our own eyes.
13:32So what happened?
13:34They left Bethlehem, they went to Moab,
13:38and everything worked out fine.
13:44They did what they wanted, they did what they felt,
13:50they trusted their heart, and they lived their own truth,
13:56and everything worked out just as they had hoped.
14:02Scripture says this in Ruth chapter one, verse three.
14:06Now, Elimelech, Naomi's husband, died,
14:12and she was left with her two sons.
14:15And they married, not women that worship the God of Israel,
14:19but they married Moabite women,
14:21one named Orpah and the other Ruth.
14:25And after they had lived there about 10 minutes,
14:28oh no, I'm sorry, what was that?
14:30After they had lived there about 10 years,
14:34both sick and tired also died.
14:41And Naomi, who left Bethlehem so that they would live,
14:48was left without her two sons and her husband.
14:56Heartbreak.
14:58First, her husband, Elimelech, dies.
15:01And we don't know what happened.
15:03Maybe he had a stroke, maybe he got hit by a camel.
15:06We don't know.
15:08But what we do know is this left her
15:11in a really, really bad place.
15:14Now, it's fascinating,
15:16who remembers how far apart these places are?
15:18How many miles?
15:19About 50 miles.
15:20About a day's walk, maybe two days,
15:23if you're stopping for some Waffle House,
15:26and staying the night at Motel 6 or whatever.
15:30It's not a long walk,
15:31and yet she stayed there for 10 years.
15:37And because she was away from God's people,
15:42her sons married women that were not God's people.
15:47They married Moabite women.
15:48Now, I wanna give the boys a benefit of the doubt,
15:50because these girls were probably really cute
15:52and probably had a really good personality,
15:54and they probably thought, I can convert them.
15:59Because that's what many of you are doing right now.
16:02They're really cute,
16:04and they got a really good personality,
16:06and this one's got a job.
16:07The last one didn't even have a job.
16:09And so, I can convert them.
16:13And yet, in God's love for us,
16:17he actually gives us very loving boundaries.
16:22And so many people ask me, hey, Craig,
16:25is it okay if I'm a Christian
16:28and I marry someone that's not a Christian?
16:31And the answer is, according to Scripture, it's not okay.
16:37The Bible says in the New Testament, 2 Corinthians 6,
16:39that we're not to be unequally yoked
16:42with those who are non-believers.
16:44And admittedly, that limits your playing field.
16:49Why is God so restrictive?
16:52Why is he trying to spoil your fun?
16:55He's not trying to spoil your fun.
16:56He's actually loving you.
16:59And I would ask you this, like, sincerely,
17:01if God is the king of your life,
17:05why would you want to spend your life
17:07and raise your kids with someone
17:08who doesn't see him as their king?
17:12Yeah.
17:13Yeah.
17:14Yeah.
17:15Yeah.
17:15Thank you, Mom, for getting the clapping started.
17:18I always love it when Mom gets the clapping started, right?
17:23But he's so cute, he's so cute, he's so cute,
17:25but he's not a Christian.
17:26One day, your kid's gonna get sick
17:28and he can't pray for your kid,
17:29so maybe he can rub his cute off on them.
17:32Look at my, look at my, you know, whatever.
17:37Here's what's interesting.
17:38Why did they leave Bethlehem?
17:41They left so they wouldn't die.
17:43And what happened when they did what was right
17:45in their own eyes?
17:45Three of them actually died.
17:46And this is how this chick flick begins.
17:50You now have three widows with no homes,
17:53no money, no hope.
17:55And finally, Naomi, the mother,
17:58decides to return to Bethlehem.
18:01You can read about this in the text.
18:03Along the way, they have this conversation.
18:07Why?
18:08Because this is a chick flick
18:10and that's what happens in chick flicks.
18:12They have this conversation
18:14and Naomi tells her daughters-in-law,
18:17go back to your home, marry your own people, have babies.
18:21And Orpah does that.
18:24And then she starts this TV show that blows up
18:27and it goes crazy and all that kind of stuff.
18:29And that's not true,
18:32but it's too good of a joke to not say.
18:36And so Orpah goes back, but Ruth decides to stay.
18:42And she speaks for the first time in the story in verse 16.
18:48And here's what she says.
18:49She says, don't urge me, Naomi, to leave you
18:54or turn back from you.
18:56And here's the big wedding cake verse, okay?
18:59Where you go, I will go and where you stay, I will stay.
19:03She declares this fierce loyalty to her mother-in-law.
19:07Then, and the most important part of the verse
19:09is not loyalty to a person,
19:11but a declaration of dependence on God.
19:14And she says this, and your people will be my people
19:18and your God will be my God.
19:22I'll no longer worship Chemosh.
19:24Now I will worship the God of Israel.
19:28And she makes this dedication that this is her salvation.
19:33What did she do?
19:34What happened?
19:35Ruth and Naomi, essentially they did this.
19:38They left Moab and they returned to Bethlehem.
19:46This is a picture of what the Bible calls
19:49in the New Testament, repentance.
19:51Re means to turn, pent is the highest,
19:54is to return from the lower place of Moab
19:58to the higher calling of Bethlehem.
20:00It's to turn away from where you were and to go back to.
20:03Now what's interesting, in order to turn to Bethlehem,
20:07you have to turn your back to Moab.
20:10To go to where God wants you to be,
20:12you have to leave where you are.
20:14This highlights one of the most important truths
20:16and that is this, to get to the right place,
20:21you have to leave the wrong one.
20:24To get to where God wants you to be,
20:27you have to walk away from a place that is not his will.
20:31I could say it this way.
20:34If you're dating someone who is not honoring you
20:36or honoring God, to marry the right person,
20:39you gotta dump the wrong one.
20:41To get to the right place, you have to leave the wrong one.
20:45And what's amazing is she made one decision
20:50to turn her back on Moab and to go to the God of Bethlehem.
20:55And this one decision, this one act of repentance,
21:00this one choice changed her life
21:05and it changed her legacy
21:08and it even changed the course of the entire world.
21:12It did.
21:13Because have you ever heard of Bethlehem before?
21:16What does Bethlehem mean?
21:19It means the house of bread, the house of bread.
21:24Jesus, the bread of life, was born in Bethlehem.
21:29Born in Bethlehem.
21:32And I don't wanna give away the biggest part of the book,
21:36but I just can't not tell you.
21:40Jesus was a descendant
21:45of a sinful Moabite woman
21:49who left Moab and went to Bethlehem.
21:52If you don't clap for that,
21:54you're not gonna clap for anything.
21:56Thank you.
22:03This is how amazing God is.
22:05For a woman who worshiped a false God,
22:08we're gonna see in the upcoming chapters,
22:10and I don't wanna give it all away because oh my gosh,
22:12this is a chick flick I like.
22:15We're gonna see that through one decision,
22:20the living water,
22:24the bread of life,
22:27the Prince of Peace,
22:29the Good Shepherd,
22:32the Lord of all lords and King of all kings,
22:34the Alpha and the Omega is born.
22:40One moment of repentance.
22:46One single decision.
22:52So what does this mean for you?
22:58I wanna ask you,
23:00and I want you to be very, very open
23:01to what the Holy Spirit might show you.
23:06I wonder if there is some part of your life
23:10that is still in Moab.
23:13Is there some part of your life still in Moab?
23:17Still in Moab.
23:20Is there some area of your life where you're saying,
23:23my God is King,
23:27and yet you're doing what's right in your own eyes?
23:32Is there some area of your life where you're claiming,
23:35yes, I am a follower of Jesus,
23:39and yet you're following your own truth and not his truth?
23:43Speak to us, God, show us, God, convict us, God,
23:47lead us, God,
23:50lead us in the way of everlasting.
23:55So the application question,
23:57because we don't just hear the word,
24:01but we do the word.
24:03My pastor said, never preach a message
24:05without asking so what?
24:07So what?
24:08What do you do with this?
24:10So what?
24:11What do you do with this?
24:13This is the question for you to ask.
24:16What one decision could you make?
24:22What one action can you take
24:25that would change the trajectory of your life and legacy?
24:31One decision.
24:33One decision.
24:35What one decision could you make?
24:38What one action could you take to leave Moab
24:42and return to Bethlehem?
24:46If you need some help, my job is to help you.
24:50Some of you, you could cut up your credit cards.
24:54You could change your life.
24:56Others of you, you could be the first to apologize.
25:01I'm sorry for my part of what I did wrong.
25:04Some of you, you could break up and move out.
25:09Don't settle for somebody who's worshiping the false God
25:13because you want someone who worships the King of Kings.
25:16Some of you, you could block that person from your phone
25:21or you could stop following the one that's bringing you down.
25:26Some of you, you could confess your addiction
25:29and ask for help.
25:31Some of you, you could live on less and give a lot more.
25:35But one decision, one action.
25:37Some of you, you could surrender something to God.
25:43Others of you, you could surrender someone to God.
25:48And there are many of you,
25:54you could fall on your knees in broken repentance.
26:00And surrender to Jesus,
26:02the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords.
26:05To get to the right place,
26:08you have to leave the wrong place.
26:11It's all about the re.
26:14Somebody say, it's all about the re.
26:17Touch the person to your right and say,
26:18it's all about the re.
26:20Touch the person to your left and say,
26:21it's all about the re.
26:22Online, type it in the chat, it's all about the re.
26:25It's all about the re.
26:26Over 1,100 times in the Bible,
26:28the word sub is used.
26:29Sub means to return.
26:31Over 1,100, it's all about the re.
26:33It's all about the re.
26:35Years ago, I did a study on the word, the rewords.
26:37I just looked at rewords
26:38and I wrote a one sentence re message.
26:42And it goes like this.
26:42It's all about the re.
26:43You just return to God.
26:44You leave Moab, you return to Bethlehem.
26:48It goes like this.
26:49It's all about the re.
26:50When you rebuke the enemy and return to God
26:55by repenting of your sins and receiving Christ,
26:59your spirit will be reborn, your mind renewed,
27:01your life rebuilt and you'll be reconciled
27:03by Christ's redeeming work.
27:05And while you rejoice,
27:07you'll reap the rewards of relationship
27:09causing revival to break free in your life.
27:12Come on church, we're not praying for revival.
27:15We're living in the middle of one.
27:17God is here and God is working.
27:19His grace is ready for you.
27:21Leave where you've been and go to where he wants you to be.
27:25One decision, one moment,
27:27one choice can change the trajectory of your life.
27:31Father, we pray in the name of your son, Jesus,
27:35the sinless one who gave us life so we could live.
27:40Give us grace and the conviction to do one thing
27:46that takes us away from the brokenness
27:48and sinfulness of this world
27:50and leads us toward your righteousness,
27:52your kingdom and your will.
27:54At all of our churches today,
27:57some of you, you already know what it is.
28:01It's so obvious you should have done it a year ago.
28:06Others of you, you're just gonna ask God,
28:09God show me, what is it?
28:12One decision, one action I could take
28:17that would change the course, direction
28:19and legacy of my life.
28:21At all of our churches today,
28:23I'm gonna ask you if you would just ask God that prayerfully
28:26and then in our life groups this week, we'll talk about it.
28:30Over dinner, we'll talk about it.
28:32With our close friends, we'll talk about it.
28:34With the people that we brought, we're gonna talk about it.
28:37Will you ask God, if you will do this,
28:39just lift up your hand, how many of you would say yes,
28:42I will ask God, what one thing could I do
28:46to leave Moab and return to Bethlehem?
28:48Would you lift up your hands if you'll pray that this week?
28:51You can type it in the comment section,
28:52I'll pray that prayer, I'll pray that prayer,
28:54I'll pray that prayer.
28:55God, show us this week, speak to us.
28:58We ask that your will, your will would be done.
29:02Give us the courage, the faith to make this decision.
29:06Some of you, you're about to make it right now.
29:11Bethlehem, the house of bread.
29:15Jesus was born in Bethlehem through the lineage
29:20of a Moabite woman who turned her heart
29:24to God of Israel.
29:26Who is Jesus?
29:29He is the son of the living God.
29:32And our God loved you so much
29:36that he sent his only son, Jesus,
29:40the lamb of God, the perfect one without sin,
29:45who shed his blood on a cross,
29:47died so that our sins could be forgiven.
29:51And three days later, when the stone was rolled away,
29:55the tomb was empty, he was not there.
29:57God had raised him from the dead
29:58so that anyone, and this includes you,
30:00it doesn't matter who you are,
30:02it doesn't matter how dark your life is,
30:04it doesn't matter how stuck you feel or how much you sin,
30:08anyone who calls on his name would be saved and forgiven.
30:12Some of you, this is the very reason you're here.
30:15Many of you, you've called him king,
30:17you grew up in church, you prayed the prayer,
30:19you played the game, but he's not king of your life.
30:21Declare it today, he is my king.
30:24I'm stepping away from sin, I'm stepping away from love.
30:27I am declaring my need for Jesus, I need his grace.
30:30Today, I make him my king.
30:32Today, I make him my Lord.
30:34That's your prayer today.
30:35Lift your hands high right now.
30:37All of the places say yes, I need him.
30:39Jesus is becoming my king.
30:40Praise God for others of you.
30:42Right back over here, lift them up high right now.
30:43Others of you, lift them up right back here.
30:46Come on, be bold, be bold, be bold, be bold.
30:47Jesus is my king.
30:49I need him right back here.
30:49Praise God for you.
30:50Others today, right back over here, Jesus, I surrender.
30:54Be my king, be my king, be my king, be my king.
30:56Online, just type it in the comment section.
30:59I am surrendering my life to Jesus together
31:03as the people of God, welcoming the new people of God.
31:07Would you pray aloud?
31:08Pray, heavenly Father, forgive me for staying in Moab.
31:13I'm staying in Moab, forgive all of my sins.
31:18I'm walking away from my sins
31:21and I'm running to the grace of Jesus.
31:24Jesus, save me, change me, fill me with your spirit
31:30so I can know you, so I can live for you,
31:34so I could show your love.
31:37Thank you for new life.
31:39Thank you for your grace.
31:40Thank you for salvation.

31:44My life is not my own.
31:46I give it all to you.
31:48In Jesus' name, I pray.
31:50I need a church full of people worshiping God,
31:53praising God, thanking God, celebrating the goodness of God.
31:56I need somebody to tell him, thank you.
31:58Thank you for saving me.
