When we reach the end of our hoarded resources, our Father's full giving has only begun. If you feel like you're running out, running out in your own strength, He's 9:00 waiting for it to run out completely so He can come and fill you and meet every need you have, spirit, soul, and body. He giveth more grace when the burdens grow greater. He sendeth more strength 9:23 when the labors increase. To added affliction, He added His mercy. To multiply trials is multiply knees. His love has no limit, 9:48 his grace has no measure, his power no boundary, known unto them. For out of his infinite riches in Jesus, he giveth 10:10 and giveth and giveth again. And we have exhausted our store of endurance, when our strength has failed ere the day 10:33 is half done, when we reach the end of our hoarded resources, our Father's whole giving has only begun. His love 10:54 has no limit, his grace has no measure, his power no boundary, known unto them. For out of his infinite riches 11:12 in Jesus, he giveth and giveth and giveth again. Fear not that thy need shall exceed 11:31 his provision. Our God ever yearns His resources to share. Lean hard on the arm everlasting of faith. 11:52 Lean hard on both thee and thy Lord will amend. Oh, He will. Trust in Him. His love has no limit. His grace has no measure. His power no boundary known to men. For out 12:15 of His infinite riches in Jesus, He giveth. He giveth. He giveth and giveth. He giveth and giveth 12:32 and giveth again. That is true. I hope we can live in that faith. Okay. The children have been asking to sing some songs, children songs, for a while.

Um There's more room on this side if some of you want to come over here. It's good and right. You know, I I when 13:26 Jesus saw children praising him, I think it really really excited him. And that's why in our church we like it when the children get excited about singing. And so every now and then we like to bring you up here, not to draw attention to 13:38 yourselves, but just so we can see you singing cuz sometimes we don't get to see hear you singing.

Okay, here we go. Keep your tongue from evil. Keep your tongue. Okay, you know what? Maybe we shouldn't do that song in this in this COVID year. We'll just sing the words. How about that?

Right arm, left arm, right foot, left foot, 22:14 turn around, sit down. Oh, I forgot to sit down. By the way, can some child tell me you can stand back up now. Um Can some child tell me what does it mean when it says that we are children of Abraham? Are you really? Is Abraham really your 22:31 father? No. What do you think? We're descendants of him. Well, not all of you. Some of you may be descendants. I don't know if there are any Israelites here. But I'm not a descendant of Abraham. What does it mean then when it says 22:41 Father Abraham had many sons? It's good to know what we're singing. What do you think it means? Because he's the father of many nations. He's the father of many nations in what way? In faith. It says that he became the father of all 22:54 those who believe. Now, your real father is your heavenly father spiritually. But when it says when we Abraham's our father, it says he became the father of those who believe. So, if you have faith in God, you really trust 23:04 trust Jesus in every situation, then you're proving that you have the same faith that Abraham had. So, that's what that song means. I thought I should explain it. So, we know what we're really singing. Just in case you grow up 23:15 and think, "Wait a minute. I grew up singing that Abraham was my father." Okay. Um When I am afraid, this is one of my favorite children's songs. When I am afraid, I will trust in you. I will trust in you. Yes, I will, Lord. 23:31 I will trust Whatever Whatever you're going through. When I am afraid, I will trust in you. In God whose word I praise. When I am afraid, I will trust 23:52 in you.

When 24:51 I am afraid, I will trust God whose word Anybody know where that verse is from? You can take a peek up there, it's written. Psalm 56, verses 3 and 4. Okay, um uh let's do this one.

Adults, let's stand with them too and sing this one. It's an RLC favorite. Wrapped up, tied up. Tangled up in Jesus. 27:36 You know, some of these songs don't have to be theologically accurate. I think you don't have to over analyze it, but I think it's fun for the children to know that Jesus must be all around them and in them and everything that they're 27:47 interested in. That's the meaning of the song. So, here we go. Wrapped up, tied up, tangled up in Jesus. Wrapped up, tied up, tangled up in Jesus. Wrapped up, 28:03 tied up, tangled up in Jesus.

Woo! Well done, children. 29:45 Why don't you stay here? I'll pray for you before we uh you go back to your seats. Let's pray together, chil- Parents, it's an awesome responsibility. All these children are so precious to our savior. They're so precious to him. I I read the 29:57 gospels and I see how he loved them and he said, "Unless you become like little children." These are the treasures of this earth, far more precious than gold, silver, precious stones. These are jewels in our homes, true eternal 30:09 jewels. So, Father, we come to you helpless, Lord. We don't know where to even begin on how to be an example to them or to lead them. You call us to represent you to them. You We call ourselves Father, Lord, and you are the only good Father. 30:24 And I I tremble even when I think about calling myself a father to these children, to my children, and us being fathers, Lord, and mothers. We're here to represent you, but it's an impossible task by our human means. It's 30:35 impossible, Lord. I I recognize it. We recognize it. And so, we come to you. We fall on our face before you desperately and ask you for grace, Lord. We need your grace. We need your Holy Spirit's power every day, every moment of every 30:48 day to be parents to these children, to be examples to them, Lord. Lest we stumble them, Lord. Lest we lead them astray in some way. Lest they hear us or see us do something that leads them astray. Lord, preserve these children. 31:00 Thank you, Lord, that you will preserve them. We can ask you in faith that not a single one of these children will be lost for your kingdom, Lord, but that they will be your disciples at a young age. They will give their lives to you. 31:11 You will pour your spirit upon them. You said our sons and daughters would prophesy, Lord Jesus. That's what we want in this church, that our children will raise up another generation for you that's wholehearted, that will stand 31:22 uncompromisingly for you, Lord. That's our cry. That's our prayer. Bless these children, Lord, I pray. Bless the children of those watching online as well. Any Any who have children who have wandered away from the Lord, we pray, 31:33 Lord, that you will speak to them. You will draw them to you. Draw them back, Lord. Draw us all back to you. And help us to become like little children. Watch over them. Protect them from sickness, from harm, from danger. Lord, for those 31:45 that as the children grow up and interact with the world, Lord, protect them from the influences of this world. Protect them from the spirit that's in this world, the lust of the eyes, the lust of the flesh, the boastful pride of 31:56 life. Protect them, Lord, I pray. Thank you, Lord. And bless them, Lord. You have a plan for all of them. You have a plan for them to grow up to be strong until your return and to raise and to set up their own homes, God willing, Lord, if it is your 32:09 will. I pray, Lord, that you will do that. Prepare them. Help them in their school work. For any who struggle with their school, Lord, or find it difficult more than others and are discouraged, Lord, I pray that you will encourage them. Help 32:21 them to know that you were tempted in all points. You also struggled in learning, Lord, in some way, I believe, so that you could be an example and a help for those who are here. You learned obedience. You also had to learn in the things you 32:34 suffered. Thank you, Lord Jesus. I pray that you will be real to them. Make yourself real to each single child here. And pour your spirit upon us, Lord. Join with me, church, as we sing this last song. Let it rain. Sing, children. It's an easy chorus. Let 32:50 it pour. I'm longing for your presence. I'm longing for your presence to deliver us. Yes, Lord. Send your Holy Spirit. Let your love wash over me. For where your spirit there is liberty. 33:13 I am free to bless your holy name. Yes, Lord.
