 Hey, good morning, everyone. Welcome to New Day, a new week of sessions. Let's begin this time with a word of prayer. Maybe one of us could please lead us. Lubega, do you think you can lead us in prayer, please? Okay. Anyone else? Paul, Anita. Anyone can please lead us. Let's pray. Father, we want to thank you for this morning. Lord, we humble ourselves before your presence as we continue to learn regarding the cross, the covenant. We pray to God that you would establish us in the covenant, Lord Jesus, and we pray that you would understand the meaning of what you have finished at the cross, Lord. We also submit our support to your hands. So, God, we pray that you'd be able to deliver your message clearly to us, of course. We thank you. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen. Amen. Thank you, John. All right. So, last week we did chapter 5, and we looked at chapter 6 as well. Chapter 5, we saw how it is important to speak the covenant of God and keep it in your mouth always. Deutronomy is what we looked at. We looked at verses from there, how God told the people of Israel a new generation has already passed, and they don't know what is happening. They don't even know what miracles that God did. And so, God reminds Moses, tells them, tells Moses, write down everything that happened and tell them, let this word be in their mouth. And he gives the same instruction to Joshua as well. Meditate on the word of God day and night, and it will be well with you. And when we take the word of God in our mouth, it's like taking God's covenant in our mouth. And we looked at how the covenant is a promise of God. So, it's not some fancy words. It's not some poetry that we are just reading, and it sounds nice. It's got these good words that we can speak out, no. God's covenant is God's promise. So, in every season, in every situation that we are going through, we can stand on this promise. We can stand on the covenant that God has given us. And then we also looked at something very important, which is God has given us the covenant, but he's given us the choice also. Due to 1319, he talks about how there's life and blessings, there's death and curses. Remember, we saw the example of Joshua. They enter the promised land and he tells the people of Israel, now, you've got a choice. You can choose to worship the gods of the Canaanites, the Egyptian gods, or you can choose the God of Israel. But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord. So, in everything, God has put the buffet out, so to speak. The buffet is out. It is our choice to pick the covenant, to pick the blessings of God. And so, there will be times when there will be ups and downs. That does not mean that God is not keeping his side of the covenant or that does not mean that we are not in the covenant. No. Life and blessings, death and curses. It's a choice that we have. God is not going to enforce it, even when we read later on through the scriptures and judges. Remember, God said, you don't need a king. But the people of Israel said, we need a king. So what did God say? Okay. He gave the choice to them. He said, okay, you want a king. Okay. And then King Saul was appointed king. And then, later on, we see many other kings came. So it's a choice that you and I have. And it's good that we have chosen to be in the Lord's side. Right? Then we saw that we need to believe the word, confess the word and live by the word. Book of James, James is writing and he says, if somebody hears the word, he does not and does not do it. It's like going in front of the mirror, looking at your face and forgetting how we look. Yes, we believe the word. Yes, we confess the word. But if we don't live by the word, then it just becomes, you know, fancy jargons and, you know, it will not bear fruit in our lives. So all of this go hand in hand. We can't say, okay, no, I'll only live by the word. I won't believe and I won't confess. We can't say I'll only confess, but I won't believe and live. It all goes together. We believe, we confess and we live by the word. And that's when we'll see God's covenant really working powerfully in us. We looked at chapter six as well, how God established the new covenant. On the old covenant, we saw the blood covenants. We saw the covenants that God set up and how he faithfully kept his promises. And in the new covenant was new promises. God himself became the covenant sacrifice. The Lord Jesus shed his blood. He gave his body. And now we are partakers of this covenant. And very importantly, the Lord Jesus is now our high priest. He is our mediator. Remember in the Old Testament, the people would go, the people of Israel, they would sacrifice the lamb, they would take the blood, they would go to the high priest and the high priest would go into the Holy of Holies and offer that sacrifice. But now when Jesus was on the cross, the veil was stoned from top to bottom, signifying what? There's no more separation between man and God. Sin has been dealt with. And so Jesus is now our mediator. He is our high priest. He is making intercession for us in heaven. And so all of us, we are wrapped in this blood covenant. Now the safest place to be is to be in the presence of God, the will of God. And what a better covenant, what better promises the Lord Jesus has given us. No more of any sacrifices, no more of going and uncertainty. The people were uncertain. We look at Hebrews later on today as well. The people were uncertain. Even though they did the offering, they cut the lamb, they gave the blood all of it, there was uncertainty. They didn't experience salvation, they didn't experience the washing of sins. There was uncertainty. But here in this new covenant, there's certainty. We know, we have a new identity, we know that our sins are washed away. And so we looked at how the Lord Jesus instituted and ratified the new covenant. Now we'll move on to chapter 7, which is the seal and the sign of the new covenant. Now the seal of the old covenant and sign was circumcision. He said, okay, Abraham circumcised the people and that will be your seal. And that will be a sign to the people that you are part of the Abrahamic covenant. Now what is the seal and the sign of the new covenant? So we look at that in this chapter. Before we go ahead, anybody would like to share your thoughts or any questions you have from what we have studied up to now? Any questions? Shall we go ahead with chapter 7? Everything okay? Well, can you please tell us what is the seal of the new covenant? You already told us the seal of the old covenant. Yes, yes, we're getting into this chapter, Isaac. That's the chapter we're going to start now. The seal and the sign of the new covenant, which is chapter 7. Okay, thank you sir. Yes, you're welcome. Any other questions? Any thoughts? Shall we move ahead? Yes, faster. Okay, great, all right. Okay, the seal and the sign of the new covenant. Now, just like as I said, the seal of the old covenant was circumcision. The seal and the sign of the new covenant is a circumcision of the heart, new birth and circumcision of the heart, right? When I say new birth, second Corinthians, we're going to read a couple of scriptures now. Second Corinthians 517, that's maybe one of us can please read that. Now, it's a common verse. Second Corinthians 517. Go ahead, anyone please read. Second Corinthians 517. Therefore, if anyone is in crisis and new creation, all things have possibly, behold, all things have become new. Amen, amen, thank you, Zalee. Here it says, therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. Now, there are two important points I would like to take from this verse. If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. Now picture this. In the old covenant, only the Jews would be allowed to go and make a sacrifice. No gentile is going to, you know, even think about doing it. Firstly, it was not, the God of Israel was not something they believed in. And secondly, even if they believed, they were not allowed to do it, right? They were not allowed to, okay, even if they believe in the God of Israel, they were not allowed to come and do the sacrifices. But here, in the new covenant, right, you remember what happened, even when we see the Lord Jesus and then the Apostle Paul in his ministry, how the Jews were against him. Why? Because he was baptizing the Gentiles. And for them, it was like, no, no, no, no Gentiles. You know, we are Jews, God has chosen only us. It was only after about 25 years, I'm sorry, I think it's 15 years. Yes, it's 15 years. The Lord Jesus died. 15 years later is when, you know, the whole Acts 15 happened where, you know, they decided, okay, it's all right to even baptize the Gentiles. Why was it such a, you know, contention at that time? Because they believed the Messiahs come only for the Jews. Now in the old covenant, it was only Jews, but in the new covenant, if anyone is in Christ, the word anyone can be a Jew, you can be a Roman, you could be a Greek, you could be anyone, you could be a rich person, a poor person, anyone. The word anyone includes anyone, everyone around us. Poor, rich, you know, uneducated, educated, anyone is in Christ. He is a new creation, a new birth, right? So the first seal of the new covenant is a new birth. Romans 8, 29, let's read that. Romans, sorry, Romans 2, 29. Romans chapter 2 and verse 29. Romans chapter 2, verses 29. No, a man is a Jew, if he is one inwardly and circumcision. It's a circumcision of the heart by the spirit, not by the written code. Such a man's praise is not from men but from God. Amen. Thank you, Sid. So Paul is writing to the Romans here. He's saying it doesn't matter if you are a Jew, but if you go to the previous verse, he's saying even if you're a Jew, it doesn't really matter, but he is a Jew who is one inwardly and circumcision is that of the heart. Now if a Jew is listening to this, he'll say how can circumcision be of the heart? Because circumcision is a physical act, right? And here Paul is writing to the Romans under the new covenant and he's saying circumcision is not a physical act only, but circumcision of the heart that is not in the letter but of the spirit and whose praise is not from men but is from God. In the old covenant, if you're circumcised, just praise from people. People say, oh, I'm circumcised, I'm a part of the covenant. What do they do when a child reaches about eight odd years old? First thing, they circumcise the child. Ah, he's circumcised. So it was a great thing, it was a great festival. You know, the rich of the, in the Old Testament, the rich people, the wealthy people would cut a dove, they would cut a lamb, they would have a feast for many days on the day of circumcision of any of their family members. Now Paul is writing and saying it is not just an outwardly expression, but here it is the circumcision of the heart, the spirit, not of the letter but something that not just because men will praise you because you're circumcised but we are circumcised in the heart because God is pleased with that. And then he says, this new birth in Galatians 5-6 again he writes, For in Christ neither circumcision nor circumcision avails anything but faith working through love. What an amazing letter of Galatians. Paul has gone there on his first missionary journey, he's toiled really hard. He's gone to Galatia, in Galatia there are five churches and then he preaches and he plants churches there, Iconium, Lestra, Derby, Antioch of Prasidia, he plants these churches and he moves on from there. And as he's coming back, he comes back, he visits the churches and he sees what's happening. So he goes back to Jerusalem and then he writes this letter and he says, who has come in between and when we have preached the Gospel we have told you that the message that we have shared was not circumcision, the message we shared was that Jesus Christ did everything and we are part of this new covenant, we have been set free and the Gospel is about Jesus Christ. Now some people have come in between and said you have to be circumcised and you have got circumcised. And Paul is bringing context here, he's saying for in Christ Jesus whether you are circumcised or not circumcised it doesn't really matter. What matters is faith working through love and how is faith working through love? It's a new birth inside us. You know when we were not in Christ we may not be, you know, walking in faith. We may not be walking in love, we may not be walking in the gifts of the Spirit. But after this new birth, this new circumcision it is not, you know, a circumcision or uncircumcision that matters in Christ Jesus but faith working through love. And so we must understand that the reason Paul was persecuted the reason why he was so oppressed by people around him was because he was talking practically but he was also talking in the spiritual trying to make them understand that it is not like, you know, because you're circumcised Jesus is going to say oh please, you know, you can come in, you're accepted, no. Paul is trying to say you don't have to be circumcised. Was Paul circumcised? Definitely he was. Paul knew he was a Pharisee of the Pharisees, he knew everything. He probably followed the law more than anyone else. But here he's writing, don't worry about the old covenant. Yes, it's wonderful, the promises are wonderful but you don't need to keep that because God has given a new covenant. So there's no point of circumcision. Instead of that, circumcise your heart. Make sure that your heart is right. Walk in faith, walk in love. That is what pleases God. Colossians 2 was 11 and 12. Yes, could one of us please read that? Colossians chapter 2, 11 and 12. In him, you were also circumcised. In the pudding of the sinful nature, not with the circumcision done by the hands of men but with the circumcision done by Christ. Having been buried with him in baptism and raised with him through your faith in the power of God, who raised him from the dead. Amen, thank you Sid. So here Paul is again writing to the Colossians. He's saying, in him, which is in Jesus Christ you were not circumcised by hands. It was not a physical act. You didn't go to the high priest and it was not a physical act done. But in him, it is your pudding of the sins of the flesh and when you do that, you are being circumcised by Christ. Which means, for example, if I'm living a life of sin and I put that away and I say, God, please forgive me. Help me to walk in holiness. Help me to understand what you've done for me on the cross and I accept that. And I walk in forgiveness and then I walk in holiness. What am I doing? It is even greater than being just circumcised in the physical but what I'm doing is when I'm putting away the sins of the flesh when I'm putting away the things that take me away from God it is called the circumcision of the heart. Circumcision by Christ. And the same letter Paul is saying he explains, he says, put off these aspects, anger, jealousy, pride, hatred, put it off, put on love, gentleness, humility, kindness, faithfulness, patience, endurance. And so our hearts are circumcised and that is the seal and we are marked by God. Our hearts are circumcised and that is the seal and we are marked with the Holy Spirit. You know, in the Old Covenant the seal of circumcision was done and it was also a mark, right? There was a physical mark that was left and so in the New Covenant when we are circumcised in our heart the seal of the mark is the Holy Spirit. God puts the Holy Spirit in us and that is a mark. Paul also writes later on, he says, do not grieve the Holy Spirit with whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. Whom you were sealed, whom you were marked for in the day of redemption. Let's read Ephesians chapter 1, 13 and 14. Ephesians 1, 13 and 14. And you were also included in Christ when you heard the word of truth. The gospel of your salvation having believed you were marked in Him with the seal, the promised Holy Spirit who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God's possession to the praise of His glory. Amen. Thank you, Sid. What a wonderful verse. We were marked with the seal, the promise of the Holy Spirit through whom we have inheritance in Christ Jesus. So the Holy Spirit is our mark, is our seal and through whom we have the inheritance that God has for us. Remember what God told Abraham? You will have an inheritance. You will have an inheritance that will go on from generation to generation to generation. And this is my sign that this is my secret. It's going to be a circumcision. And now the Holy Spirit is granting us a promise of the Holy Spirit granting us an inheritance not earthly but an inheritance that is eternal. What does the Holy Spirit do inside us? He rebukes us, he corrects us, he disciplines us, he strengthens us, he does so much inside us. Why is he there? Because it's the promise which God has given. It is a seal. And so when we think that the Holy Spirit is our seal, you don't want to get rid of that seal, right? Because that seal is our inheritance. And so we say, God, through every season we say, Lord, thank you. That is why it's so important as believers to pray in the Holy Spirit. He's our seal. He's there. And so we can always look to the Holy Spirit and how much greater is this new covenant? Picture what happened in the old covenant, the Holy Spirit would come anoint people and speak through the prophets and he would go back. But now he's a seal, he's there every time, always. And he's an inheritance for us in the covenant, in this new covenant. Hi, Joy. We are on page 33 on the notes. Thank you. Okay, so let's go to the sign. Now we saw that the seal is the Holy Spirit. Like in the old covenant, the seal was circumcision. Here is the circumcision of the heart, new birth. And now let's go to the sign. The sign is the Lord's table. The Lord's table, which is what we celebrate on Sundays and we can do it anytime. The Lord's table is a sign of the new covenant. The meaning of the Lord's table, Genesis 13 has a wonderful illustration of what it means to the Lord's table. Melchizedek, the High Priest, presented bread and wine to Abraham. If you read Genesis 13 you will see that. And then what did Jesus do? He instituted with the Lord's table, he instituted this new covenant as a sign. What did he say before in the Lord's table? He said, this is my body, my mind. For example, you see these weather forecasts, the weather news, they look at signs and they say, okay, looks like there's going to be a very hot day or looks like there's going to be some fierce winds or looks like there's going to be some floods in certain areas or the weather forecast, they look at signs and they share what is going to happen. They predict things ahead. But the Lord Jesus didn't predict, right? The Lord's table was a confirmation of what was going to happen. What did he say? Eat my flesh and drink my blood. Let's read John chapter 6 53 to 56. John 6, 53 to 56. Go ahead, any one of us? And Jesus said to them, Moses surely, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life. And I will raise him up at the last day. For my flesh is food indeed and my blood is drinking did. He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood, abides in me and I in him. Amen. Thank you, Joy. So, we see here that in the New Covenant, the Lord Jesus is saying, eat my flesh and drink my blood. Now, it may sound I'm sure the disciples are wondering what is happening? What is he saying? But Jesus interjects his, you know, I am the bread of life in John 648 with the blood covenant and he says you eat my flesh and you drink my blood. Now, eating the flesh of a sacrifice was okay. Rinking of the blood was prohibited in the old covenant. But the blood covenant, what does it do? It satisfies hunger and quenches thirst. In other words, the blood covenant like we studied earlier on it satisfies every need of the other person should be willing to give all that you have for the other person. Now, in the New Covenant, the Lord Jesus on the Last Supper he says, do this eat my flesh and drink my blood and he, verse 56, he eats my flesh and drinks my blood abides in me in him. And so, the sign that we are in the New Covenant is partaking in the Lord's Table. The Lord's Table is a powerful act that we do together as a community. Paul himself while writing to the Corinthians, he says yes, we come together but we don't come together to partake in the Lord's Supper to fulfill our stomachs and to feel alright because the Lord's Supper is not something that is taken lightly. Paul writes and he says if you don't have food at home to eat don't you have things to drink at home why is it that you bring contempt upon yourself by coming into church and eating and drinking of the Lord's Table in an unworthy manner and by doing so, some of them have invited sickness and wrath upon themselves. Why was Paul so strict on that matter? Why was he rebuking the church? Because now they knew, they were speaking in tongues there was prophecy, word of knowledge they knew everything. The Corinthian church was flowing in the gifts of the spirit but they forgot that this new covenant this partaking of the Lord's Table is the sign is a powerful act of the same way in the old covenant how God ratified the old covenant through Abraham and through Moses the blood covenant this new covenant of how the washing away the blood will wash away the sins the body will bring healing upon us and so Paul was very very he was making sure that the congregation in Corinth knew what it was to partake in the Lord's Table the purpose of the covenant is relationship coming to a place of abiding him when we say Lord I believe see it's not about the bread and the wine, it's not about what we have we can have a piece of biscuit or even water it's not about the physical element but it's about understanding what this blood and this body did and when we understand and receive that power that revelation that whatever we are having when we partake it becomes a resurrection power of Christ I'm sure we've been doing this for many many years on Sundays there are times when I remember share this example it happened to me many many years ago after I accepted the Lord Jesus I went to church and I was still living in casual sin every now and then there was sin involved so this one day I went to church I was probably about 22 I went to church and they were serving the Lord's Supper and I thought to myself I don't want to partake of this because I'm still sinful I didn't understand I'm still living continual sin how can I partake of this and so I was very sad that morning and I didn't partake in the Lord's table of course I genuinely prayed and I said God help me in this area to overcome this sin I want to overcome but I'm not able to and so it was very sad but I went home after that I remember I just had some something to drink my mom gave me some tea and a piece of bread and she said why don't you have some breakfast because it was late so when she gave it to me immediately the Holy Spirit that day reminded me of something and it was as if I was sitting in that place I'll never forget that picture sitting in that place and I felt the power of the Holy Spirit in such a strong way my hands are all shaking it was not something which was not just some emotional thing that happened to me but it was a physical I could sense the power of the Holy Spirit just inside me and I felt the Holy Spirit saying let's partake in the Lord's table together it was as if the Holy Spirit was comforting me saying you are worthy to partake of this you didn't partake in the church but I felt like the Holy Spirit was saying you are worthy to partake and I remember that day just saying God I accept this bread I believe this is your body and the tea it was a cup of tea and I said this is your blood wash me from my sins help me never to go back to that sin again from that day after I partake I recognized the power of the Holy Spirit inside and I recognized that God has done something in me that day to now probably about 15 years now 10 years now 12 years now I've never gone back to that that is the power of the New Covenant when we partake in the Lord's table in a manner that we understand what Jesus did on the cross brings revelation we are partakers of this New Covenant what it does is it brings us into an intimate relationship with God not just a relationship you know we have friends right we have friends we are in a relationship with them then we have parents we are in an intimate relationship with them that's closer and the blood covenant this partaking in the Lord's table brings us into an intimate relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ right so maybe some of us are feeling why am I living this life of sin maybe we may feel every time I stand up and then I fall again and maybe there is some weakness that the enemy is trying to just bring you down it happens to everyone don't be discouraged because remember we are partakers of the New Covenant the enemy's work is to accuse us of the brother and he says you are not worthy you cannot do this how can you partake of this how can you be part of God's kingdom when you are walking in sin you are walking in this life of continual betrayal and anger and denial and the enemy accuses but I want to encourage you remember that you are in the New Covenant when you partake in the Lord's table his power his resurrection power his presence the sign the seal of the Holy Spirit is there inside us he begins to minister to us and so he is able to change things for us so that's the importance of the New Covenant this was not there in the Old Covenant I love what Apostle Paul says as many times as you do it do it in remembrance of me you don't have to wait for the Sunday you don't have to wait for the pastor to come and pray for you you don't have to wait for all of that as a believer you are in covenant with God there are times I've just on my weakest stage my weakest times I've just gone taken a few whatever maybe a piece of bread, some water prayed this is the the body and the blood of Christ had it and I felt the presence of God comforting and strengthening me Paul says as many times as you do it do it in remembrance of me so I encourage you even as you do it don't do it just because I want to do it and my problems will go away no, do it with this reverence that Jesus paid the price for me and I'm part of this new covenant because I remember one of my one of this church youth came up to me and he said pastor I went through a very difficult problem and I'm right now currently going through a very difficult situation and I don't know what's going to happen so I took the Lord's supper and I waited two days the problem didn't subside so I said okay the supper is not a medicine or it's not a thing that we take just to avoid problems sometimes we need to understand as leaders and pastors we need to teach this to our congregation that it's not just some ritual that we do to avoid evil spirits from attacking no it is an eternal righteous act that we are doing and so we end with this chapter we go to chapter 8 we have 10 minutes and we take a break we go to chapter 8 before that any thoughts on this any questions that you have anyone would like to share your experience maybe after taking the Lord's supper you have experienced healing or deliverance anyone would like to share just to bless each one of us Paul can you hear me I just wanted to reiterate what you said in our church there have been quite a few people who have given up alcohol and many things with baptism and the communion also there are a lot of people whose lives have just been transformed through this so I just wanted to say it as an encouragement to others I definitely agree with what you say and we have seen lives changed yeah thank you thank you so much Niki yeah anyone else would like to share maybe your personal experience to how the Lord's table has maybe blessed you or a friend or people in your church yeah I just want to ask you a question go ahead okay I think connection or relation to this Lord's table in certain denominations they serve the wine and actual wine but in certain denominations actually frown against drinking in any other capacity yeah how can we reconcile this in relation to our own faith to profess because certain denominations actually serve the Lord's table to wine yeah that's a very good question Isaac yes certain denominations yes do give the regular wine and certain denominations just give grape juice diluted grape juice now I would say this there would be different schools of thoughts on this but this is just my understanding and you can feel free to ask others as well you know read up on this but here's what I understand from now as we did study it can be water it can be wine it can be juice it can be anything but I do get where you're coming from Isaac that the Bible teaches us that we should stay away from wine now during the times during older times wine was definitely used as medicine for Paul writes to and he says drink a little wine to to make your stomach better he was going through a sickness and so people use that as an advantage to drink wine but there are plenty of other verses that teach us that you know now the word wine includes alcohol intoxicating drinks right so we need to you know be aware that you know it's not only like the grape juice grape wine that comes from the wine press when we say wine it could be all these other intoxicating drinks also involved but what I would say is if it is something that is very little that can you know just to it does not intoxicate you right we don't take the wine to get intoxicated that is why Paul writes to the Corinthians and he says don't eat and drink like it's you know it's food and water or it's food and some drinks to fill your stomach don't do that so I say if you look at it more than looking at it as okay this is wine this is a little bit of wine but the elements as the power of God resting upon it when we understand right now we cannot stop at a nomination from saying don't take you know it's just you know they can say you know just a little bit it's to we are honoring the Lord we are remembering what the Lord did for us so I think we cannot stop them but more than the element itself it is the power of God that is working through that right so as a leader I was like what I would suggest to you is leave it as it is right leave it as it is what you can do is if you're going to a church and if your church is giving you probably wine have it but have it in knowing that you know it's the blood of Christ now the moment we think okay it's wine and our mind goes there we've lost the you know the whole aspect of doing partaking in the Lord's table they okay oh it's wine it's why are they giving wine or why are they doing this and so the whole you know reason for partaking in the Lord's table is lost it just becomes a ritual so there are certain denominations which have different ascents right and so here's what I would leave it at it does not change the value or the power of the Lord's table certain places people remove their footwear get into church certain churches people don't remove their footwear but is the Holy Spirit there in both of places yes is the power of God still there to manifest and work miracles bring healings yes so these aspects should not become a major meaning we should not keep that as a priority or we should not keep thinking about that and saying okay because of this what we are doing is wrong some places women cover their head some places they don't but is the Holy Spirit is the Lord Jesus still ministering to them yes so more than these physical things involved it is the spiritual that matters so as a guy what I would say is there would be different denominations with different practices but as long as that practice is done in reverence in holiness remembering the Lord Jesus for his sacrifice I think it would be alright just let it go whatever they give just think of it as the body and the blood of Jesus Christ I hope that answers your question Isaac yes pastor perfectly said is the spirit and the essence of the whole ritual that is important of course in my church we don't serve wine we serve fruit juice we are not judging is the command the essence of the thing so it is well answered pastor thank you thank you Isaac alright we have 2 minutes more we will take a break we will come back at 11 and we will continue with our class
