In this Third chapter of Jonah, the Lord sends a renewed man to preach his word. This is followed by the effect of God's word upon the people of Nineveh. This will be the first of two messages on the third chapter of Jonah. The first message focuses on Jonah as a type of the born again believer. God sanctified Jonah for this work in redeeming him and revealing the sentence of death in him. Jonah knew his deliverance was only by the Lord himself. He could not deliver himself from the belly of the grave he was in. This same sanctification is wrought in every believer who will learn that we are not our own. But rather we are the Lord's chosen people for his use and purpose.

Oh, how sweet the glorious message
simple faith may claim. Yesterday, today, forever, Jesus
is the same. Still he loves to save the sinful,
heal the sick and lame. Cheer the mourner, calm the tempest,
glory to His name. Yesterday, today, forever, Jesus
is the same. All may change, but Jesus never,
glory to His name. Glory to His name. Glory to his name. All may change, but Jesus never. Glory to his name. He who pardoned erring Peter
never needs thou fear. He who came to faithless Thomas
all thy doubt will clear. He who let the loved disciple
on his bosom rest, Bids thee still with love that's tender
lean upon his breast. Yesterday, today, forever, Jesus
is the same. All may change, but Jesus never. Glory to His name. Glory to His name. Glory to His name. All may change, but Jesus never. Glory to His name. He who mid the raging billows
walked upon the sea, still can hush our wildest tempests as
on Galilee. He who wept and prayed in anguish
in Gethsemane, ? Drinks with us each cup of gambling
in our agony ? ? Yesterday, today, forever, Jesus is the same ?
? All may change, but Jesus never, glory to his name ? ? Glory to
his name ? ? Glory to his name ? All may change but Jesus never
? Glory to his name ? As of old he walked to Emmaus with them
to abide ? So through all life's way he walketh ever near our
side Soon again shall we behold Him, hasten, Lord, the day. But will be this same Jesus as
He went away. Yesterday, today, forever, Jesus
is the same. All may change, but Jesus never. Glory to His name. Glory to His name. Glory to His name. All may change, but Jesus never. Glory to His name. Our second hymn will be number
70. Holy, holy, holy, number 70. Early in the morning our song
shall rise to thee. Holy, holy, holy, merciful and
mighty, God in three persons, blessed Trinity. All the saints adore thee, Casting
down their golden crowns Around the glassy sea. cherubim and
seraphim falling down before thee, which work and art and
evermore shall be. Holy, holy, holy, though the
darkness hide thee, though the eye of sinful man thy glory may
not see. Only thou art holy, there is
none beneath thee. in love and purity. Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty. All thy works shall praise thy
name in earth and sky and sea. Holy, holy, holy, God in three persons, blessed
Trinity. Good morning. I'm going to be reading this
morning out of 2 Timothy. We'll be in chapters 1 and I'm
going to be picking up in verses 8. It's 2 Timothy chapter 1 verse
8. Be not thou therefore ashamed
of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner, but be
thou partaker of the afflictions of the gospel according to the
power of God, who hath saved us and called us with a holy
calling, not according to our works, but according to his own
purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ
Jesus before the world began. But this now made manifest by
the appearing of our Savior, Jesus Christ, who hath abolished
death and hath brought life and immortality to light through
the gospel. Whereunto I am appointed a preacher
and an apostle and a teacher of the Gentiles. For the witch
cause, I also suffer these things. Nevertheless, I am not ashamed,
for I know whom I have believed, and I am persuaded that he is
able to keep that which I have committed to him against that
day. Lord, we thank you for bringing
us together once again, Lord, assembling and for the ability
we have in this country, Lord, and what you've brought about
for us, Lord. We're just thankful for what
you've done. We pray for this church and every
church this morning that's assembled in your name, Lord, for all the
pastors and all the members. We pray that you'd quiet our
hearts today, Lord, and our minds. We're so easily distracted with
the cares of this world. We pray you'd just give us the
ability to focus on your son, Lord, look to him and the ability
to just trust him Lord, encourage our hearts today in Him alone. In your name we pray. Amen. Let's turn over to Jonah chapter
three. Jonah chapter three. Now, this chapter, it's 10 verses
like Jonah two here, but what we have here in Jonah three,
the picture that the Lord is giving us here, is how that our
Lord is sending a renewed man, he's regenerated, he's born again,
if you will, and he's sending this regenerated soul to preach
the word, to preach the word. And then what we see in the second
half of the chapter is the effect of God's blessed word to the
people there in Nineveh. Now, I don't think I'm gonna
get through the whole chapter. I intended to, but I think it's
got a nice point after the first few verses to stop there, but
I'm gonna give you an outline of the whole chapter here, all
right? This is an outline here. Jonah here is a type of a born-again
believer here, all right? He's a picture of a born-again
believer whom the Lord has sanctified for himself to serve him. It's a picture where this whole
book is a picture where Jonah is learning, I'm not my own,
I'm the Lord's and he sanctified me for himself. And so this sanctification
is really something that every one of us as believers is learning. And this flesh is wrestling against
and warring against, but the Lord in His purpose of grace
for us is working His salvation in us. We are saved by the Lord
Jesus Christ, but He's teaching us and growing us in the knowledge
and grace of our Savior, Jesus Christ. He's conforming us to
the image of His Son, Jesus Christ. And then the second part of the
chapter, Jonah is seen as a type of the Lord Jesus Christ who
has been raised again from the dead. And so, as a picture of
Christ being raised from the dead, he then goes forth preaching
his word. And he declares that word to
his disciples, who then go forth and declare that word to all
the world. And that's seen right here in
this chapter three, so that as we see this word spreads through
the city, it's a picture, it's a type of the gospel spreading
throughout all the world, working repentance and salvation among
the people of God. So initially I titled this message
After the Resurrection, After the Resurrection, but I think
I'll call this one, if we're just gonna look at the first
half, you'll know when it's titled on Sermon Audio, but I think
we'll title this one After Regeneration, because it's dealing with the
believer being born again, a picture of the believers being born again
in Christ. So let's first tackle these first
four verses and see where we are then. Now Jonah we know was
vomited up by from the whale's belly from the fish's belly onto
dry land which even that I don't really get into that but even
that being you know being born out, being vomited out onto dry
land is a picture of we that are believers, right? In grace,
we're born again and we are out here in this wilderness, dry
land, now separated, sanctified by the Lord for his purpose and
his use here to go and serve our God. And so we read here
in verse one now, He's been seen there coming out of the fish's
belly and it says, the word of the Lord came unto Jonah the
second time. The second time, the word comes
to Jonah now. And so, Joan here is a picture
of a regenerated child of God. There's someone now who hears
the word of the Lord, who is no longer disobedient to the
word, but is now obedient to the word of God. He's now hearing
and made willing. Jonah was saved previously. I'm
not saying that Jonah wasn't saved until now. Jonah was walking
in rebellion, but I believe he was a prophet of God, and he
did know the true and living God. But here, in this chapter,
he's picturing one who is born again, one who is redeemed by
Christ, and who now has an ear to hear the word of the Lord. And so this, brethren, is a picture
of the new birth. You must be born again. We must
be born again. And so Jonah here is a picture
of one who has been born again, having been dead. He was dead,
he was held captive there in that fish's belly, constrained,
unable to deliver himself, just like any one of us who's in the
grave. We can't deliver ourselves from death. And so it is, spiritually,
we can't deliver ourselves from spiritual death. We're dead spiritually,
we're dead spiritually. It's only by the grace of God
that commands us to life, that brings us to life, makes us born
anew in Him and we come forth. So Jonah was walking in rebellion. And he was suffering, right?
He was suffering as a child of wrath and disobedience, right? Just as we before we know, it's
picturing us just suffering, just going about in our own rebellion,
and we suffer, right? And sin and go through afflictions
and troubles, and those who have no grace just continue on in
it, just continue on in their death and never are brought to
a knowledge of salvation in Christ. And so he couldn't free himself
from the belly of the grave and he just laid there in it until
God spoke to that grave and it had to release him. It had to
let him go and it's a picture of our spiritual birth. We're
held fast in spiritual death until the Lord in power speaks
to us in the appointed time of his grace for us and it can't
hold us any longer. The veil's removed, it's ripped
off, and we come forth seeing and hearing. And there's grave
cloths, right, that gotta be unwrapped, which are unwrapped
in the gospel, but we begin to hear and to see our salvation. And the reason this is done is
because Christ, our Lord, has conquered the grave. He's conquered
the grave, brethren. And our enemy can no longer hold
us. When God, in his appointed time,
says, release him, We go forth. We might be in a prison today,
but when Christ comes and says, sinner, show yourselves, we come
forth out of that grave and we hear him. And so when our Lord
said, all power is given unto me in heaven and in earth, that
included the grave. He's got all power and authority.
Nothing can refuse him when he speaks. And that's concerning
both our physical death, right? We shall be raised again when
he comes and it's our spiritual raising up. Paul said it this
way in Colossians 2.13, and you being dead in your sins and the
uncircumcision of your flesh hath he quickened, made alive,
together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses. Christ did
that, and so we're born again in him. And so Jonah's resurrection
from death is a picture of the second birth by Christ's spiritual
seed. We're born again. We all come
forth in Adam, born of his corrupted seed and corruptible seed, right?
We're born of his dead seed, spiritually dead seed, and then
we are born again by Christ of his spiritual seed. And I think
the way Paul worded it in Romans 11, 15 applies here when he says,
what shall the receiving of them be but life from the dead, right? Our birth in Christ is life from
the dead, plainly put. We are born again in him. Revelation
20 verse 6 says it this way, Blessed and holy is he that hath
part in the first resurrection. That's what the first resurrection
is. It's a spiritual birth. That's the first resurrection.
Not when you're raised from the dead, from the grave when Christ
comes. The first resurrection is a spiritual birth. And on
such who are raised spiritually, on such the second death hath
no power. We who hope in Christ have no
fear When the devil and all his angels and all those who know
not God and hate him are cast into the eternal lake of fire,
that's the second death. That's the second death that
we have no fear of. We don't have to worry about
that. We've been raised spiritually in Christ. We're new. We're new
creatures in him. We're of his seed. Okay, so the
word of the Lord came unto Jonah the second time. when he heard
it the first time, it's a picture saying that he only heard it
in the flesh, and we even do that as believers, right? There's
times when we sit here, hear the gospel, and we hear it in
the flesh. But thank God that he keeps us
coming back and we hear it, and then there's a time when he causes
us to hear that same word in the spirit, because we're just
saying the same thing each time, but the Lord's encouraging us
and feeding us and growing us in him. And so he first heard
it in the flesh and he rebelled against God. But the second time
he heard it now, being a picture of a renewed man, a regenerated
man, born again, he hears it in the Spirit. He hears it in
the new man created of Christ Jesus. And that's because we
must be born again to even be able to see the kingdom of God. We must be born again to see
the kingdom of God. All right, so this is what Jonah
heard. Verse two, Jonah three, two.
Arise, go unto Nineveh, that great city, and preach unto it
the preaching that I bid thee. Okay, well, Jonah here is hearing
it differently. He's recording it differently
than what he heard the first time. Look back at chapter one,
verse two. Same words, the Lord's speaking
to him, and he says, Jonah 1, 2, arise, go to Nineveh, that
great city, and cry against it, for their wickedness has come
up before me. All right, but now he's saying,
the Lord is saying, preach unto it the preaching that I bid thee. All right, so initially, Jonah
had a very high opinion of himself. Jonah thought he was something
special, and Jonah was observing, as he says in Jonah 2, verse
8, he was observing lying vanities. Jonah was puffed up. Jonah thought
he was something. He's a prophet of God, and he's
got a message, and God's coming to Jonah and saying, Jonah, I
need you. I need you to go and give your
message to this people because their wickedness has come up
before me. It's as if Jonah had this impression
that God was employing Jonah because he had a skillset. He
was a prophet of God, and he's good at what he does, and God's
saying, hey, I need you over here to go to Nineveh. And he
heard, go, cry against it, for their wickedness has come up
before me. And so Jonah decided, well, God
wants me for my skillset, but I don't wanna go. I'm gonna skedaddle
out of here because this is where God reveals himself in this land.
I'm just gonna scoot away and he can get somebody else to do
it, but I'm not going. He thinks of himself much too
highly than to go and minister the word to these heathens over
there. But now Jonah hears it differently than before. He hears
God saying, go and you tell them what I tell you to say. You go
and tell them what I tell you to say. So in other words, God's
saying, I'm not sending Jonah to the people. The people don't
need to hear what Jonah has to say. I'm sending my word to the
people, and I'm sending it by you, Jonah, a vessel. There's
a difference there. One is Jonah thinks he's all
that, and that he's got a word to tell the people that God wants
to use, and God's corrected him and shown, no, you don't. I don't
need you. I'm sending my word and I'm choosing
to send it by you. I'm sanctifying you. I'm setting
you apart to come and preach this word to my people. And so it's a big difference.
And that's what Jonah's learning and what we're learning is that
we're but the earthen vessel. We've got nothing to boast in
of ourselves. And that's why I think this message
goes nicely with this morning's message. We're nothing in ourselves.
We're just the vessels to be used by the Lord as he pleases.
And this is what Paul was saying when he said, we preach not ourselves. We don't have a message for you
that's of this flesh in what we want to say. Who cares what
I have to say? We come to preach the Lord Jesus
Christ, right? So we preach on ourselves, but
Christ Jesus the Lord and ourselves, your servants for Jesus' sake.
And that's what we're learning, that we're but vessels in the
Lord's kingdom to do with us as he pleases. And that's contrary
to the flesh, just like it was seen in Jonah. It's contrary
to us and what we want to do. And yet when you read Jonah in
that light, you see he's emphasizing that point right through the
fourth chapter. We'll see, he still struggles
with it as he's recording. You know, he's sitting back at
home now and he's being honest with his struggles and his sin
and he's telling us, look, I fought. the sanctification of God. I
fought God in doing with me what he pleased to do, because I wanted
to do my own thing, but thank the Lord, he prevailed upon me,
and so he knows that God's dealing with him in this, and so we come
to see that we, now then, we are ambassadors for Christ, as
though God were beseeching you by us, we pray you in Christ's
stead, be ye reconciled to God. And that's what we're sent to
do, to preach and declare the message of reconciliation, not
the message of me, or the message of you. Not to exalt the flesh,
but to exalt our savior, because he's calling his people out of
darkness into his kingdom. He's delivering them from this
death and raising them to life. The Lord teaches us this, and
Paul spent a good amount of time teaching the brethren, and especially
it comes up in the Corinthian church, where they were very
wealthy, and they had a lot of skill sets, and they were people
very mighty in their own minds. And he said to 1 Corinthians
6, 19, he tells them, ye are not your own. You're not your
own. for ye are bought with a price.
Therefore, glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which
are God's. And that's what Jonah had to
learn. You're not your own Jonah. You're mine." And he sanctified
Jonah for this purpose. He set him apart and determined
to use Jonah, didn't leave Jonah to go off on his own way, but
he separated Jonah for this, this work, to go and preach this. You know, when we forget that
and when we forget that, isn't that when we find ourselves getting
offended with either one another or just things in this world?
We get so offended because our rights are being violated and
we grow in our own estimation of self and what we think is
right and what we deserve and what others should recognize
that we deserve, right? And then we, like Jonah, when
that's our focus, we get caught up in all manner of rebellion
and sin. and do foolish things that are not at all helpful to
the kingdom of God, of our brethren in the kingdom of God. So by
his death and resurrection, our Lord has made us righteous. He's made us righteous, and so
it's for his purpose, He's made us righteous and it's
His purpose to make us righteous in Him, to separate us and teach
us these things. He's making us to know what He's
done and accomplished for us. Turn over in 1 Peter, and we'll
see this in 1 Peter 1. 1 Peter 1 and go to verse 14. And you notice there in verse
14, he speaks to us as obedient children, right? Obedient children. Before we knew Christ, before
we were alive in Christ, we were disobedient to God, right? And that obedience refers to
our believing Christ, our believing God, our believing him unto salvation. That's the obedience spoken of.
It's the manifestation of our faith and hope, not in our works
of righteousness, which we've done, but in the Lord Jesus Christ
and what he's accomplished himself. And so he's speaking to us here
as obedient children, as children with an ear of faith to hear
our God. He says, not fashioning yourselves
according to the former lusts and your ignorance. That's the
flesh, that's what the flesh wants to do, and Peter addresses
that in this letter. He says, abstain from fleshly
lusts, which war against the soul. 1 Peter 2.11, he says that. And so, not to be fashioned,
we recognize it, we see what this flesh is, it's not getting
any better, it's still doing what the flesh wants to do, it's
still vying for its rights and what it wants to do and its lusts.
But he says, I'm speaking to you as obedient children, people
that have an ear of faith, that hear, that have heard salvation
and hope in Christ Jesus. And he says, not fashioning yourselves
according to the form of lust and your ignorance, but, verse
15, as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all
manner of conversation. Because it is written, be ye
holy, for I am holy. Now, we saw when we went through
this, we saw that what the Lord's saying there is he's making known
his will. I'm holy. and I will that you
be holy. And as God wills, so shall we
be holy. And we are holy in the Lord Jesus
Christ. And that holiness is speaking
of our sanctification, that we're set apart for the Lord, unto
the Lord. The Lord hasn't called us to
be lovers of this world and great men and women in this world.
and just doing things in this world, but we're his people in
his kingdom, serving him, and so he sets us apart for his use. We still work, we do the things
that we have to do to provide and make a living and to do those
things necessary, but we understand, I'm the Lord's, I'm the Lord's,
and he's gonna do with me as it pleases him. and Lord willing,
he's gonna conform my will to his will and be thankful for
what he's doing because anytime he separates us to himself, whether
it's through troubles or afflictions or sorrows or any of those things,
when it brings us to the Lord, Ultimately, the new man cries
out, Lord, you're God, and you've done well. What can I say against
you? You've done what is right. And
so we're set apart as he wills, and he says, I'm holy, and you're
going to be holy. So that by his spirit dwelling
in us, he is teaching us. We are made holy by Christ. We
are righteous in Christ, and we are going to do those things
that are works of righteousness born in us as the fruit of the
Spirit, not by the whipping of the law, but by the life and
the power and the glory of Christ in us, teaching us, and that
Spirit conforming us to Christ's image, all right? And so we're
gonna learn, what Jonah learned. We're also going to be taught
by the Spirit just like Jonah was taught and learned by the
Spirit that we're his people, we're not our own, we're his. And he's able to do whatsoever
pleases him. And that's really why it's no
point in us even beating ourselves up when we look back on our lives. We are what we are. by the grace
of God, and there's nothing we can do now to change those things,
and we've all done stupid and foolish things that we feel shame
for, right? And that's why we don't glory
in those things, because we do feel the shame of those things, but
our hope is we're the Lord's. We're the Lord's, and He's called
us out of darkness to serve Him. And so He says, verse 17, and
if ye call on the Father, this is 1 Peter 1, 17, If ye call
on the Father who without respect of persons judgeth according
to every man's work past the time of your sojourning here
in fear, or with that understanding that we're his now, we're the
Lord's, we're not our own, for as much as ye know that ye were
not redeemed, not purchased with corruptible things as silver
and gold from your vain conversation received by tradition from your
fathers, but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb
without blemish and without spot, who verily was foreordained before
the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last
times for you, who by him do believe in God, that raised him
up from the dead, and gave him glory, that your faith and hope
might be in God. And so Christ, our Savior, was
raised from the dead. He has all power and authority
and He's raised each of us from the dead and His power and authority
extends to us in the sense that we're hearing this and we're
learning it. We're learning just like Jonah who was raised up,
who was vomited out on that dry land and raised up to serve God
and to hear with his ear of faith and go and serve the Lord. Alright?
So by that life and power being displayed in Jonah, God's given
him a change of heart. He now has a change of heart
and he hears that word very differently than when he first heard it.
Verse three says, so Jonah rose and went unto Nineveh according
to the word of the Lord. Now Nineveh was an exceeding
great city of three days journey. All right, and now when Jonah
gets there to the city, it says, verse four, And Jonah began to
enter into the city a day's journey. So on the first day he entered
the city, all right, on the first day he entered the city, and
it says that he cried and said, yet 40 days, and Nineveh shall
be overthrown. Now, you might be thinking, well,
isn't that what he heard in verse two, cry against the city and
tell them that that judgment is come upon them? Yeah, it is,
but now Jonah's not speaking of his own flesh. Jonah is speaking
by the spirit and he's declaring not himself, it's not his skill
set that he's trusting in. He had the sentence of death
in him. He was brought low there when he sunk down in that sea
under the wrath of God and was greatly troubled by it and got
swallowed by that belly and knew, I'm a dead man. He had the sentence
of death in himself. That we should not trust in ourselves,
but in God which raiseth the dead. And so that's what was
worked in Jonah. And Jonah now is not preaching
himself by his prophet power and skill set, he's preaching
by the spirit of God. And that's what the Lord does
in his people. Now, next week, I'll stop it
there. I want you just to soak that
in and rejoice the fact that Our God has saved us and we're
his people. He's sanctified us for this.
this very work and just rejoice in that and pray that the Lord
help us to hear that very word and then next week we'll look
at the effect of his preaching and see a picture of Christ in
there and how that gospel goes forth and just spreads through
the people just like we see it in the gospel word. So I pray
the Lord Bless that word to your heart's brethren. All right, let's pray. Our gracious
Lord, we thank you, Father, for your mercy and grace. Lord, we
ask that you would indeed help us to hear this word. Help us,
Lord, to see that we're not our own, that we are the purchase
of the Lord, and that, Lord, you would you would give us of
your spirit, that you would make us willing to serve you and to
hear you and to be a help to your people. And it's in Christ's
name that we pray and give thanks. Amen. That was a little shorter
and maybe I went too fast. I could have probably, well,
anyway, I pray that it's a, sometimes it's a short message is a comfort
to help us hear that one little piece. Um, Let me just say a
couple announcements before you come with the last hymn. So next
week, we're gonna have, I wanna have the Lord's Supper together,
all right? And so Barb is gonna cook the
bread. She's gonna do a recipe there
that they use. Yeah. Carl's like, oh, yay. Yeah, so Barb wants to cook the
bread, and so I think that'll be great. We'll try that. And
then we'll have a meal here afterwards, all right? Because I know that
some of us, ourselves even included, but Christina thinks away the
first week. And so it was asked if we could
just do it this last week of September, this month. And then
what I think we'll do is we'll push it. So I'm at Darwin's.
the first week of October, the fourth. I'll be preaching for
Darwin on the fourth. Brother Scott will be preaching the message
for us here on, so we'll just have one message. And then I'm
going away at the end of October into the very, very beginning
of November to help my middle daughter and Abby and Jordan
and the grandkids to move down here as well. I asked Scott again
to bring a message. So what we'll do is then we'll
put off the meal and the Lord's Supper till the second week into
November. And so if the bread is ahead
or you need to tweak it, Barb, we'll do it again as well. And
then we'll have a meal then, and then you guys can meet, you
know, Abby and Jordan, if they're here, Lord willing, which I hope
they are, because that would be good. Oh, yeah, I'm sorry. Yeah, so, and then, so the first
week of October, when I go to preach for Darwin, I said, hey,
how about you preach for me on Wednesday? Because what I'm doing
on, after that Sunday, going to Darwin's, I'm coming back
here that night on Sunday, and then I'm driving up to Indiana
that Monday, and then hope to be coming back Wednesday. I hope
to be back here in time just to come and sit and listen myself,
but I'm not sure yet. But I'm bringing Alyssa back.
So Alyssa's coming back, so you all know Alyssa. Yeah, she's
coming back now. And then, a month later, it'll
be Abby and Jordan and a couple little grandbabies, so that'll
be fun. We have more boys. So, Lord willing, that'll all
happen soon. So, I'm excited for that. The final hymn will be number
75, Abide With Me, number 75. Abide with me, fast falls the
eventide. The darkness deepens, Lord, with
me abide. When other helpers fail and comforts
flee, Help of the helpless, so abide with me. Swift to its close ebbs out life's
little day. Earth's joys grow dim. Flories
pass away. Change and decay in all around
I see. O Thou who changest not, abide
with me. I need Thy presence every passing
hour. What but Thy grace can foil a
tempter's power? Who like Thyself will my guide
and stay in me? O cloud and sunshine, O abide
with me. Hold thou Thy Word before my
closing eyes. Thank you. It wasn't clear, but
Darwin will be up that Wednesday. Oh yeah, I am. If I ever get
the email from Michelle, not her, I mean she sent but it's
not coming, but anyway, we did a Google Doc. So that one, one
for, what? Yeah, because we're fancy. But yeah, we did a Google Doc
that if anyone wants to volunteer each week, your family, just
you, your husband, or whatever, anybody wants to volunteer a
week that they can do, Just put your name here and just do the
cleaning and we'll put up a list of what needs to be done. We'll
start that way. I know some churches just volunteer
families, you know, like it's your month or your week, but
I know... I volunteer Junior for the next
month. Yeah, I know that we have like busy schedules, so I'd like
to do it where you can fill it in and then we'll do it that
way. We're going to post it maybe
somewhere we can write our name on. Well, if we all have a Google
Calendar, Can I just hit stop on this?
Stop. That'll be fine.
