Very well sweet Sarah… come here and give your papa a hug… (Hugging)… Thank you. To our community, friends and visitors, the message this year is not as long as my introduction message (smile) my heart was greatly blessed hearing our babies sing about our brother Ezekiel. Our topic this year is unseen hope! Unseen hope...it is written we are saved by hope, but hope that is seen is not hope….

I am reminded of the song “We Come This Far by Faith” not because all of us were faithful all the time. Not because we didn’t have fears and doubts. Not because a lot of us turn to our maker and serving things of the world. We came this far by faith, because of our unseen hope is faithful to his promise to our fathers Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. It’s because of his faithfulness we are not consumed! For it is
