I don't know about every age
of the world, I've only ever lived in this one. But it seems to me like our world
is more full of fear than ever before. If you're not afraid
of something, somebody makes it up, so you are afraid of it.
You've got to find something to be afraid of. Politicians
run on your fears. They appeal to your fears. Everybody's full of fears. And
it's understandable we're afraid. This flesh, it's understandable. There's things that we fear.
At the end of the message, I intend, Lord willing, to talk about some
specific things that we fear. And I wanted to show the child
of God, there's no reason for us to fear. If you're in Christ,
there's no reason for you to fear. There is no fear because
of God's grace. So this message is for believers.
These things that I will say about not fearing are only, they
only pertain to the objects of God's grace. Now, if you're here
this evening and you're outside of Christ, you have good reason
to be afraid. My advice to you is to run to
Christ, to trust him and rely on him by faith. But if you're
in Christ, Now you have nothing to fear. God tells his people
here in the middle of verse one of Isaiah 43, fear not. Well, why not? Why shouldn't
I be afraid? Well, I'm going to give you several
reasons. First is this, fear not because
you've been born again. The nature that's born of God
is perfect and will be accepted by God. Verse one of Isaiah 43.
But now thus saith the Lord that created thee, O Jacob, and he
that formed thee, O Israel, fear not. Now thus saith the Lord
to you, O Jacob, not to you who are good, but to you who are
the cheat and the supplanter, to you who by nature are the
good for nothing. God has a message to you. His
message to you is to fear not. Now understand who Jacob is.
Jacob doesn't deserve the birthright, does he? By his birth, he was
born second. He does not deserve the birthright.
But God promised it to him, didn't he? He's gonna have it. You and
I are Jacob. We're good for nothings, cheats
and supplanters, trying to always get something by hook or by crook.
And we don't deserve eternal life. We don't deserve acceptance
from God because of our birth. because we're born in Adam, we're
born in sin. Look back up in chapter 42, look
how the previous chapter ends here, verse 24. Who gave Jacob
for a spoil in Israel to the robbers? Did not the Lord? He
against whom we've sinned? For they would not walk in his
ways, neither were they obedient to his law. Therefore, he hath
poured upon him the fury of his anger and the strength of battle,
and it has set him on fire round about. Yet he knew it not, and
it burned him, yet he laid it not to heart. Now that's what
we deserve. Each of us, we deserve God's
fury because of our sin and rebellion that's against him. Now every
son of Adam, by nature, what do we deserve? We deserve wrath
and condemnation, don't we? God has created, he's given life
to every human being that's ever lived on this planet. And by
nature, every single one of them has sinned against God. Every
one of them has hated God. Every one of them has refused
to bow to God. Well, there's good reason to fear if you've
made God your enemy. I mean, by sinning against him,
you have good reason to fear if you made him your enemy. But
God tells his people, fear not. Despite what you are by nature,
despite that you're Jacob by nature, you fear not. Because
God in his goodness and his love, he chose a people that he chose
to be gracious unto. This word create, it means create. But now thus saith the Lord that
created thee, O Jacob, it means create. But it also means select. God selected, he gave life, he
formed life, and he selected a people to be objects of his
grace. And God makes those people to
be born again. The word formed here means formed
just exactly like a potter forms the clay into whatever he wants
to make it. Now look at Romans 9. It's God's crown rights to make
some sons of Adam into new creatures and to pass the rest by. That's
God's crown rights because he's God, because he's king. Look
at Romans 9, verse 18. Therefore, hath he mercy on whom
he will have mercy? And whom he will, he hardeneth.
Thou wilt say then unto me, why doth he yet find fault? For who
hath resisted his will? Nay, but, O man, who art thou
that replies against God? Shall the thing formed say to
him that formed it, why hast thou made me thus? Hath not the
potter power over the clay of the same lump to make one vessel
unto honor and another unto dishonor? Well, of course he does. He's
the potter. The clay's an inanimate object.
The potter's the one with the skill and the life and the hands
and the wisdom. We're the clay. We're the inanimate,
useless object. And God is the one with the life
and the power and the wisdom. And it's God's crown rights to
choose some of Adam's fallen race, to take them out of that
lump of clay and to make them new creatures, which is exactly
what he does for his objects of grace, his chosen objects
of grace. And when God causes his people
to be born again, he gives them a new name. No longer are they
Jacob. No longer are they that good
for nothing. They're Israel. When they're born again, they
receive a new name. They get a new nature. They have
a new father and they get a new name. Their new name is Israel,
a prince with God. Now God's mercy and God's grace,
this grace that causes no fear is for Jacob. It's for Jacob. It's for the people that don't
deserve it. If you think you've done something to deserve it,
then this isn't for you. This grace, God's grace is for
Jacob. And many times in scripture,
God calls believers sons of Jacob. Why does he call us sons of Jacob?
No, it's because we're just like him. And the experience of every
believer is the same experience as that of Jacob. Jacob, by birth,
didn't deserve the birthright. But before he was born, God promised
it to him, didn't he? By birth, you and I deserve nothing
but wrath from God. But long before we were ever
born, God promised grace and mercy and peace in Christ. And
God chose Jacob because God loved Jacob. Jacob have I loved, but
Esau have I hated. If God chose you, he's always
loved you. There's never been a time he
didn't love you. He chose you because he did love you. He's
always loved his people with an everlasting love. And God
chose Jacob. Psalm 135 verse four says, for
the Lord hath chosen Jacob unto himself. And that's what God
has done for all of his people. He chose them unto himself for
his use, for his glory. Jacob was born, he lived in rebellion,
and that went on for a while, and then God put a stop to it,
didn't it? One night, Christ himself met Jacob at Bethel,
wrestled with him all night long, and revealed himself to Jacob. That's what God does for all
of his Jacobs. He's going to eventually cross your path. You
might wrestle with him for a while, but now he's going to pin you.
He's going to win. He's going to reveal himself
to you. You'll bow. And that night that Jacob met
God, God changed his name from Jacob to Israel, Prince of God. And like I said earlier, every
object of God's grace, they get a new name. When they're born
again, they get a new name. We get his name. This is the
name wherewith she shall be called Jehovah Sidkenu, the Lord, our
righteousness. We get his name because we're
born in his likeness of his seed. We're married to him and bear
his name. And that night God met Jacob. He changed Jacob's
walk forever, didn't he? He touched the hollow of Jacob's
thigh and Jacob limped on that the rest of his days. His walk
was changed. Every child of God has a changed
walk. It's not a perfect walk, but
it's a changed walk because we've got a changed nature, a new nature.
God's caused his people to be born again. Now, if he's given
you a new nature and the new birth, then there's no reason
to fear, is there? because that nature is perfect.
God will accept you if he's caused you to be born again, because
he will accept perfection. God will accept you because he'll
accept what he's made. Now he's not going to accept
what we've made, but he'll accept what he's made. See, there's
no reason to fear. God's made you his child. He's
not going to forsake his children. He's not going to forsake the
work of his own hands. There's no fear in grace. God's caused you to be born again.
Well, here's the second reason. There's no reason to fear because
God has redeemed you. He goes on here in the middle
of verse one, chapter 43. Fear not, for I have redeemed
thee. Now here's the root, the root
cause, the root issue of fear. It's sin. Sin's what causes fear. You know, Adam never was afraid
until he sinned, was he? After he sinned, he was afraid
of everything. And sin is a good reason to fear. Sin creates a
debt to God we can't pay. We've sold ourselves under sin.
But fear not, God says. Christ has come and He's redeemed
His people. He bought them back from under
the law. That's what redeemed means. It
means bought back. Christ bought back His people
by paying their debt for them with His blood. Sin causes a
debt. The debt of sin, first of all,
it's the curse, the eternal curse of the law. What a curse. But God tells his people, you
fear not. Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law,
be made a curse for us. The Lord Jesus Christ, our substitute. He bore the curse of the law.
He bore the curse of sin for His people. And He suffered that
curse so fully, there's no curse left for any of His people. See,
there's no fear in grace. The only explanation why the
Holy Son of God would suffer the curse of sin for His people
is grace. There's no fear in grace. He's
redeemed you from the curse of the law. The second debt of sin
as eternal condemnation, eternal punishment. We fear punishment. I mean, if there's something
wrong with you, if you don't fear punishment from God, but God
tells his people, fear not. When we just read Romans 8.1,
there's therefore now no condemnation, no punishment to them which are
in Christ Jesus. There's no condemnation left
for anyone who's in Christ because Christ, our substitute, suffered
all the punishment the sin of his people deserve. Now again,
the only explanation for the Son of God taking our place as
our substitute, being made sin for us and suffering all the
punishment that sin deserves is grace, free grace. There's no fear in grace. The
third debt of sin is death, the eternal death, the eternal separation
from God. Now, we all fear death, at least
to some degree, even a believer fears death, the fear of the
process and the unknown and all these things. But God says, when
you think about death, you fear not. In John 11, verse 26, our
Lord said, whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Well, if you're never going to
die, there's no reason to fear death. If Christ died for you,
it's impossible for you to ever die. because Christ has already
died the death your sin deserves. Now again, the only explanation
for that is grace. The only explanation for the
Son of God becoming a man for the express purpose of dying
is grace. There's no fear in grace. Now sin causes fear, but where
sin abounded, grace did much more about it and causes us to
have no fear. Now believer, don't fear the
debt of your sin. It's an enormous debt. It's a
debt we can never pay, but don't fear. Christ has redeemed you. Jesus paid it all. All the debt
I owe. Sin did leave a crimson stain,
but he washed it white as snow. He paid the debt in full. Well,
fearful creatures like us may ask this question. Is Christ
able? to pay the awful debt of my sin.
He said he would pay it, but is he able? Well, I tell you
what, if he's perfect and he's got holy blood, he can pay it.
Look at verse three in our text. This is what he says. For I am
the Lord thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy Savior. Our Savior, his very name is
the Holy One. Then fear not. The blood of the
holy one is perfect, holy blood that paid the sin debt of all
of his people. Now, fear not, Christ has redeemed
you. Third, fear not. I like this. Fear not, because God has redeemed
you on purpose, on purpose, according to his eternal covenant. He says
here at the end of verse one, fear not, I have called thee
by thy name. Now, God didn't send his son
to die and to pay the sin debt of a people and then leave it
to chance whether that debt would be paid or not. God didn't send
his son to suffer and to die and to pay the debt of someone
and then wait to see whether they decide to take it or reject
it. No. I wish people would understand
this. Christ's payment for sin is not
offered to you and me. It's not up for debate for you
and me. It wasn't offered to us. The payment for sin, the
broken body and the shed blood of our Lord Jesus Christ was
offered to God. Is he going to accept it or not?
He said he accepted it. then the debt's paid. You're
gonna accept it. God's gonna make you willing
in the day of your power. You're gonna bow. You will, I
promise you, you will, because he's not leaving this up to chance.
God accepted the payment of the blood of his son as payment in
full for the sin debt of his people. And you know what God
does? He calls his people. He doesn't beg them. He doesn't
invite them. He calls them. And he doesn't
just issue a general call. He calls them by name. By name. There sits Ralph. One day, God Almighty said, Ralph,
come to me. And you know, he came. You didn't
have a choice. He called you by name. When the
king calls, you come. God calls his people specifically,
exactly, one by one. And he tells them, I got good
news for you. Your debt's paid. Quit your working,
quit all your religious efforts, quit it, and come to Christ and
rest in Him. The debt's paid. Christ, the
great shepherd of the sheep, He gave His life for His sheep,
didn't He? He laid down His life for His sheep. And He gives His
sheep eternal life. And He calls them by name. He doesn't just call and see
if He can get some sheep to come to Him. He calls them by name.
And His sheep, they come to Him. He'll have them. He said, I must
bring them all. They're mine. I bought them.
I must have them. There'll be one fold and one
shepherd. Now, child of God, fear not.
It's God's eternal purpose to save you. Now you think of that. As a son of God hung suffering
and dying in untold agony. You were on his arm. He did that for you, for you. Oh, that's grace, isn't it? God's purpose of grace is not
going to fail. So fear not. Four, fear not because you belong
to Christ. He owns you. The end of verse
one, fear not. Thou art mine. You belong to me. Now remember
redeemed, it means bought back, doesn't it? When Christ died
for his people, he bought them back from the law. He bought
them back from under sin. He bought them back from the
prison house of sin, and he owns them, lock, stock, and barrel.
He owns it all. Now, if Christ died for you,
you belong to him, fear not. He's gonna protect what he paid
for. He will keep what belongs to him. He's not going to lose
you. He's not going to lose what he paid for. So you can never
perish. You can never be lost. Now, you
know, there's some things that I've paid for. I went to the
store and paid the price and took it home and it was mine.
But I really didn't care all that much about it. Or maybe
I really cared about it at first and then Eventually, later on,
I didn't care that much about it. I mean, I remember the first
car I ever bought. Oh, when the day came to sell
that car, I was so happy to get rid of it. It just, oh, I could
not stand the sight of it anymore. If God bought you with the blood
of his son, that'll never happen to you. This ink pen, I kind
of like it. I like the way it writes, but
I paid less than a dollar for it. And if I lose it, I'm not
going to be out of shape about it. I only paid just less than
a dollar for it. It's just, it's all right. But
there are some things I paid for. I paid a lot of money for
them and they're valuable to me. I know where they are at
all times because they're valuable to me. You who believe, you're not a
dollar ink pen. that Christ can just take her
leave. No, he's not gonna throw you away and get another one. You're so precious to him. He
gave his life blood for you. Look again here at verse three
in our text. For I'm the Lord thy God, the only one of Israel,
thy Savior. I gave Egypt for thy ransom,
Ethiopia and Saba for thee, since thou was precious in my sight.
Thou has been honorable and I have loved thee. Therefore will I
give men for thee and people for thy life. God says, you're
precious to me. I'm not gonna lose you. I'm not
gonna cast you away. Well, I don't know about you, I don't
feel so precious. Christ died for you, you're precious.
Because he washed you in his blood. He washed you clean and
made you precious. Christ calls his people honorable. I don't feel honorable. I feel
like Jacob, a cheat and a supplant. I don't feel honorable. But if
Christ died for you, he made you honorable. You're born again
with his nature. You're honorable. He made you
honorable. And I don't feel lovable. But
Christ the Savior says, I loved you. So I died for you. I gave
myself for you. I called you. I gave you life.
I'm going to keep you. And no matter what, no matter
what you do, no matter what you don't do, I'll never cast you
out. Never. You're too valuable to him to
lose. Fear not. He won't let you perish
because of his grace. There's no fear in grace. Fifth,
there's no reason to fear the trials that are coming our way.
Look at verse 22. When thou passest through the
waters, I will be with thee. And through the rivers, they
shall not overflow thee. When thou walkest through the
fire, thou shall not be burned. Neither shall the flame kindle
upon thee. Now fear not. Now scripture never
tells a believer don't fear because you won't go through trials.
No, we will go through trials. That's a promise to God's people.
You're gonna go through trials. Our scripture says here, when
you pass through the waters, not if, not maybe, but when,
when you pass through the deep waters of trial, don't fear. And we might wonder, well, why
shouldn't I fear those deep waters that are, I mean, over my head?
Why shouldn't I fear those rushing waters of a trial that are too
great for me? Tom Harding told me a story about
a man in Johnson County in these recent floods. And his family
was trapped in some little house. And he crossed those rushing
waters several times to get people, his loved ones, out of that house.
And on his last trip, he got, I don't know who it was, someone,
he got them safe over those waters. And those waters knocked him
down. They overcame him, started sweeping him away. He grabbed
ahold of a tree. The waters ran him into a tree. He grabbed ahold of it. Tom said,
this is a big man. He was big and strong. He's a
muscle man, muscle builder. And that water was rushing. It
was so strong, he could not pull himself up on that tree. He couldn't.
He was just hanging on. He couldn't pull himself up no
more. He looked awful strong, but that water was stronger.
And he just hung on, he hung on, he hung on. There's his family
watching him. And eventually his arm got tired.
One arm fell off. And the other arm fell off. And
he swept away and died. When the rushing water, the deep
water of trial comes on me, why won't I be like him? Tom said,
that man looked like a strong man. I don't. My faith is so weak. I can't
control the water of trial any more than I can control a flash
flood as it starts to come up. You're just powerless against
it. All you can do is watch it come up. Just like that family,
they're powerless. Watch the water sweep away their
loved one to his death. Why won't I fear in those great
waters? Because the Almighty says, fear
not. I'll be with you. Oh, that's
comforting. I'll be with you. He's not going
to leave you alone in those waters. When those waters are so strong,
it's not up to your strength to keep you. It's up to his strength. He says, fear not. I will be
with you. Those waters of trial won't overflow
you and they won't sweep you away because your savior, the
mighty one is with you, holding you, keeping you. Now that's
grace. Christ himself is with you in
those deep waters. He's not way up there watching
down. He's with you in those deep waters,
feeling what you're feeling, protecting his loved one. There's
no reason to fear in grace. Look at 1 Peter chapter four.
Don't fear when you walk through the fires of trial. And it's
a promise from God, we will go through them. And when those
fiery trials come upon you, don't fear now. Don't think God's forgotten
you, don't think he's cast you away, don't fear. Peter says
in 1 Peter 4, verse 12. Beloved, think it not strange
concerning the fiery trial, which is to try you, as though some
strange thing happened to you. Don't think this is a strange
thing. But rejoice in so much as you're partakers of Christ's
sufferings, that when his glory shall be revealed, you may be
glad also with exceeding joy. And don't fear this fiery trial. Don't think it's a strange thing
because it's coming. Now, listen to me. I'm not denying
that the fiery trial will hurt the flesh. It's going to hurt. It's a fiery trial. It'll hurt
the flesh. But you remember this thing's
under control. You notice our text says here,
when thou walkest through the fire, not when you're running
through it and, you know, all going crazy. No, when you're
walking through the fire, you're not running this thing, not out
of control. It's not some strange thing that happened to you. The
fire is going to hurt the flesh, but it's not going to touch you.
It will not hurt you. The only thing you'll lose in
the fire is dross. It's not worth losing anyway.
That fire will never burn you. God said that fire will not burn
you. God said the flame won't kindle
upon you. Well, why won't the flame burn
you? Because your Savior's with you. He'll be with you in that
fiery furnace of trial, just like he was with those three
Hebrew children. Remember, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, they threw
them in the fiery furnace. They wouldn't bow down and worship
that statue of Nebuchadnezzar. And Nebuchadnezzar looked, he's
happy. You know, these guys are getting what they deserve. He
looked down at that fiery furnace and he said, didn't we throw three phallus
down there? They said, yeah, King, we did. He said, I see
four. And the fourth was like in the
sun God. Who was with them in that fiery furnace? Christ himself. He was there for them. He was
there waiting for them and met them there. And they pulled those
three young men out of that fire. Not only were they not burned
up, they couldn't even smell smoke on their clothes. The fire
didn't kindle on them, did it? Because God was with them in
the fire. He was walking in that fire with
them. Christ our Savior took the heat
of those flames forth in them. That's grace, isn't it? Now, I know there are many things
that we fear. Many things cause us to fear. But to the child of God, there's
no reason to fear any of these things because of God's grace.
Christ himself is with you in all these situations. When Satan
casts his fiery darts at you, a whole variety of things can
be happening. He's throwing fiery darts at
you. I know this. I don't want anything to do with
Satan. I don't want him getting his sights on me. I just didn't
even know I was around. That's not an enemy I'll ever
take on by God's grace. But when he does set his sights
on you and he does throw his fiery darts at you, fear not. God's grace is sufficient. Our
Savior knows how to protect you and how to comfort you. When
Satan's throwing his fiery darts at you, wasn't Christ Himself
tried by Satan? And Satan found nothing in Him. Our Savior knows how to protect
you, how to comfort you. You're secure in Him. When we
pass through the loss of the fire, financial loss and difficulty,
that's a hard thing. But now fear not. The Lord's
going to be with you. He knows what you have need of
and He'll comfort you. I promise you He will. You might
wonder, well, does the Lord understand financial difficulty? I mean,
He owns everything. He's rich beyond imagination.
How can He understand? Well, it's true. He owns everything. I promise you He understands.
The son of man had nowhere to lay his head during his earthly
ministry, did he? He understands, and he knows
how to comfort you in your time of loss, and he will comfort
you. When we pass through the fire of family troubles, the
Lord will be with you. He will comfort you. Look at
John chapter seven. Our Lord understands, our Savior
understands about family troubles. We so worry about our loved ones
after the flesh. They don't know the Lord. They
don't have any interest in Him. No matter what you tell them,
they won't listen. They don't care. Our Lord understands. You know His family after the
flesh didn't believe. His whole nation after the flesh didn't
believe. He came into His own. His own received Him not. John
7 verse 3. His brethren therefore said unto
him, depart hence and go into Judea, that thy disciples also
may see the works that thou doest. For there's no man that doeth
anything in secret, and he himself seeketh to be known openly. If
thou do these things, show thyself to the world. Now why'd they
say that? For neither did his brethren believe in him. Our
Savior understands our heartache when our loved ones don't believe
Christ. and he's able to comfort you in that fire. When we pass
through the fire of the loss of friends, the Lord be with
you and he'll comfort you. When the Lord was taken by that
mob, they came to take him, to crucify him. And his hour was
come, so he allowed them to take him. You know what Luke said
happened? All of his disciples forsook
him. Our Lord just got done telling them, I don't call you servants,
I call you my friend. Some friends, huh? The moment
he came under attack, all of his friends deserted him for
fear. Now there's a friend that sticketh
closer than a brother. It's the Lord Jesus Christ. All
his friends forsook him. And you know what he did? He went to Calvary. and suffered
and died to put their sin away. This friend will never leave
you nor forsake you. He said, I call you my friends.
We may not act like his friend, but he'll always, in every situation,
be the best friend you have. He'll stick by you and he'll
comfort you. There's no fear in grace, is
there? If God's my friend, that can only be by grace. There's
no fear in grace. And when you pass through the
fire of pain, the Lord will be with you. He'll comfort you in
it. All of us, we do a lot to avoid
pain, don't we? Well, our Savior understands
pain, I promise you, a whole lot better than we do. He suffered
pain we can't imagine. Pain of both body and soul. And he suffered that pain. So
his people never will suffer the pain of God's wrath. That's
grace, isn't it? That he take the pain I deserve?
Oh, that's grace. There's no fear in grace. And
when you're suffering such pain, he knows how to comfort you.
He sympathizes. And when you pass through the
waters of sorrow, deep waters of sorrow, The Lord will be with
you in those deep waters and He'll comfort you. The Savior
knows sorrow better than we do. You know, sometimes we're just
sorrowful or sad and we don't even know why. I mean, we can't
even think of the, there's no reason for me to be sad. Yeah,
I'm just sad. Our Savior knows sorrow. The
depths of sorrow we'll never know if we're a child of God.
He said in Lamentations 1 verse 12, is it nothing to you, all
ye that pass by? Behold and see if there be any
sorrow like unto my sorrow, wherewith the Lord hath afflicted me in
the day of his fierce anger. What grace that the son of God
would suffer such sorrow, so his people will never feel that
sorrow, the sorrow, the fierce wrath of God. Oh, there's no
fear in grace. And last, when you pass through
the last waters, One day, there's gonna be one final water and
it'll be over. When you go through those last
waters, you go through the waters of death and you cross that cold
Jordan, the Lord will be with you and he'll comfort you. He'll
even make you glad to cross. You see, for the believer, there's
no fear in death. We don't fear the death of these
bodies because Christ has already died for us. What grace that the son of God
would die for me. Oh, there's no fear in grace. All death is for the believer
is laying down this useless body of flesh and allowing the new
man to go be with the Lord. Now there's no fear in that.
There's just joy and thanksgiving. There's sorrow for those who
are left behind, but not for that child got to call home.
There's just joy and peace and thanksgiving. Now fear not. I don't know if you're like me
or not, I suspect that this is fairly common. Some nights you
can't sleep. It's dark and quiet and your
mind spins off places it ought not go. Everything looks worse
in the dark, you know. You begin to fear. Some night
when you can't sleep, it's dark, it's cold and fear grips your
heart. and remember back to God's word,
and meditate upon this and feed upon this in those night hours.
But now, thus saith the Lord that created thee, O Jacob, and
he that formed thee, O Israel, fear not, for I have redeemed
thee. I have called thee by thy name,
and thou art mine. When thou passest through the
waters, I'll be with you. And through the rivers, they
shall not overflow thee. When thou walkest through the
fire, thou shall not be burned. Neither shall the flame kindle
upon thee, for I am the Lord thy God, the Holy One of Israel,
thy Savior. I gave Egypt for thy ransom,
Ethiopia and Seba for thee. I work all these things in creation
and providence for you, for your good, to bring you to me. I did
that since thou was precious in my sight. Thou has been honorable
and I've loved thee. Therefore, I give men for thee
and people for thy life. Fear not. Fear not. There's no fear in grace. All right. After we sing a song,
some of you men, if you would set up three tables, three tables and one for the
drink, right? Three, you know how they go.
If you do that for our party Sunday, I would appreciate it.
Let's bow in prayer.
