 I was just thinking about what Prabhaka was asking, Prabhaka, what you were asking about times and seasons, I was just thinking that intentionally you can also, you know, like develop the prophetic, right, the prophetic, or lean more into the prophetic, like develop the gifts of the spirit, word of knowledge, word of wisdom, prophecy. So developing, meaning, you know, exercising these gifts, discover and also learn, continue to learn and lean in, you know, even more every day, you know, practice and, I mean, learn from the success and the mistakes and continue to learn. So that is also one, you know, I just felt that that was one of the keys that to understand the times and the seasons, you know, okay, so let's continue. Now what we're going to look at is, you know, the other guidelines is to be realistic and practical, okay. So just wanted to say that it's not, though it seems contradictory, you know, it is not, because if we need to, you know, if you are dreaming big, it need not always be contradictory to being practical and being realistic, okay. It can be big. It can be practical. It can be realistic, right, the plans that you're making. So the wisdom in being realistic and practical is the implementation of it or even the initiation of it, the start of it, right. So something big can start small, right. And for that, you need to be realistic and practical, right. Something huge, a big plan, but it can start with a small step and to be mindful of that and to be faithful in that and to be practical about that is, you know, is again wisdom. So let's look at, let's look at what are some of those practical things that we can consider. What are some of those realistic things that we can consider when we are making, you know, when you're making plans, right, just a minute, sorry, okay, here we go, okay. Efficiency 5, 15 to 17, see that you walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, giving the time, because the days are evil, therefore do not be unwise, but understand what the will of the Lord is. So, you know, along with the zeal, along with the passion and the big plans, it calls for wisdom, right. So the exhortation here is not to be unwise, but to be wise and to understand what the will of the Lord is, right, and walk circumspectly, right. Walk circumspectly meaning you reflect, think about your actions, think about your steps that you're taking, right, and use wisdom, right. So wisdom which manifests itself in being practical and realistic is not contrary to being spiritual or contrary to or, you know, does not contradict thinking big, right. So here are some things that we can look at, some practical steps, right, start with what you have, right, start with what you have, maybe we're thinking about some things that maybe some maybe a new initiative, maybe a maybe a new, you know, new direction, maybe a new strategy or, you know, something fresh that is starting and you're just sitting down and planning things and maybe even setting up goals. Now start with what you have, right, what is it that you have right now? What is the resource that you have right now? What are the assets that you have right now? Start with what you have, right. The second thing is do not take on more than what you can handle in the sense, you know, in this season, in this, in this, you know, time frame with the current responsibilities and loads that you're carrying, what is it that you can handle? Now this will continue to change, right. You will gain strength, right. We will get better at doing things, better and better at doing things as we, you know, increase in knowledge and understanding and skill. You know, we will be able to do things quicker in a, or maybe in a shorter time. We will get better at it as we keep at it, right. So, but right now, you know, what is it that you can take that you can handle? Okay. That's, that's important because it does not, it should not crush. It should not, it should not, you know, it should not cripple, right. When you come to a place of not being able to move at all, move forward at all, right. So what is it that you can take? With the, with the understanding that, yes, you know, I will be able to take on more. I will be able to do more as my strength increases. As I intentionally, you know, work on this and as my skill gets better, right. So what is it that you can handle, right. Which is very important, knowing what you can handle. We can always stretch. We can always stretch to some extent, but not to the extent that we, you know, we are, we are breaking, right. So what is it that you can take, right. Third thing, and these are simple things. So just, just going through it, gather information about the task at hand. You know, what does it involve? What information can you, can you get about what, what you, about that particular process, about that particular project, about that particular, you know, about that initiative? What is it? What does it involve? Start gathering the information, right. Maybe if it's something to do with building something, right. So just find out, okay, where gather information, what does it involve? If I, if I need to build this, what does it involve? What is the cost involved? What are the steps involved? What are the process involved? Just start gathering information, right. Probably 13, 16 says every prudent man acts with knowledge, okay. But someone who's opposite of that, opposite of prudent, like lays open his folly, right. So, so it's good to get information, gather information, right. And we know that we will not, we will not do everything about it, right. But to the extent that we know, and the extent that we have information plan, right. Plan with what you know, plan with what you have. But you do get information about it, right. The second thing is about, I mean, the other thing is, the fifth thing is about the pace at which we do it, right. The pace at which we do things, you know, do it, make sure that there's nothing that is skipped. Make sure that you don't, you know, hurry up or there is no, take it, we don't need to be in a hurry, okay. Yes, some things are time bound, be mindful of that. But we don't have to hurry to the extent of compromising on, maybe the quality of work, compromising on the completion of certain things, right. So, don't be in a hurry to just get, or to just check the boxes to get the task done. And it turns out mediocre, right. So, take things one step at a time. And so we are talking about planning, of course, right. Know your priorities, okay. That's a very important thing, you know, for any task, you know, does it come first or does it come last, right. And we need to be sure of that. Is it important or is it urgent, right. If it's important and urgent, you know that, you know, the grid, maybe we can look at it a little later also. You know, is it important, is it urgent? If it's both, then you need to do it, then we need to get into it. But if it is not, then we don't have to get into it, right. It is not urgent, it is not important. Maybe it doesn't even need to feature in our to-do list. Or it can be something which can be, if possible, redelegated. So we can, you yourself can, you know, target those things which are important, which are, you know, which are urgent, which only you can do, right. So know your priorities. Write down, document your plan, communicate your plan, share it, you know, especially if people are connected, if it's not just a personal plan, but if people are connected to that process, right. If there is a team involved, if there's an organization involved with a multiple teams involved, you know, and when we say team, it could be just two other people, or it could be one other person also, you know, who's there as a partner to help. So communicate the plan, let it not be just in our minds, but, you know, if we put it down, it helps us, it helps aids our thinking, it becomes clear, right. I'm sure you realize that, right. When you write down something, it's difficult to, you know, I don't know if you realize that when you, you know, put down the vision for your life, right. What is that, what is that vision? What does God calling me to do? Putting it down in concise statement, it's a difficult thing, right. It takes effort, it takes time, it's a difficult thing. Sometimes you need to kind of struggle over the labor with it, but when we put it down, then it becomes clear, right. It becomes clear, we don't forget, it becomes clear what I need to do. So writing down, documenting it always helps, and writing down and documenting it enables us to share with others as well, right. We just need to, you know, share that document or share that mail or share that with others, right. Many times, you know, we, we tend to do things, we tend to keep things very close to our heart, and maybe we want it to be protected. We don't want to, you know, anyone to speak anything negative about it. We don't want, you know, we want to speak life over it, but not, you know, we don't want to speak, you know, we don't want anyone to tear it down. So it's so insulated, protected that we don't receive counsel about it, right. So it's a good thing to have people, to receive Godly counsel, to have people speak from their wisdom, from their experience, to receive that counsel, to have people speak into our lives. You know, Proverbs 11 14 says, where there is no counsel, the people fall, but in the multitude of counselors, there is safety. So it helps, right. But at the same time, to be discerning, right, because is it counsel, is it vice counsel, and is it come, coming with the right motive, and the Holy Spirit, the Holy Spirit will help you to discern. And, but the thing is to receive Godly counsel, right. Proverbs 20 18 plans are established by counsel. So your plan, plan that you're making, the plan that we are involved in putting together, it's established by counsel, right. It is made firm, it is made strong by vice counsel, right. Advice, wisdom, it is made sure. So we can listen, we can perceive, and by vice counsel wage war. If it means to do something, it's a task that needs you to win, to accomplish. Let there be vice counsel. So in our planning, we have the counselor with us, and the counselor also brings counsel to us through multiple sources. You know, sometimes the sources are, well, it's not what you expected, but it comes from very unexpected quarters, from unexpected sources, but it's wisdom, it's vice counsel, be open, be discerning, right, to receive that. So receive Godly counsel. And last couple of things, be open to change, revise your plan, be flexible in other words, right. Be flexible about the plan in areas where, you know, it needs change, especially when there is change, when there is refining, you know, be flexible. Probably 16th anniversary, I think we looked at that verse a couple of sessions back, you know, commit your works to the Lord, and your thoughts will be established, okay. So when we commit the task, when we commit the initiative to God, he makes sure that our thoughts are established, right. So he goes down to the thought level, and of course we need to allow him to do that, but when we commit, when we yield, our thoughts will be established by him, and which is a good thing, right, which is something that we need, something that we require, thoughts will be established. And the verse nine says, a man's heart plans his way, but the Lord directs his steps. So sometimes we put together something, and the Lord directs us. There is a refining which the Lord brings in. There is a, you know, and establishing something that the Lord brings in, which makes it even better, right, which makes it even better, which makes it even fruitful. So if we are close to him leading in that way, then we are actually missing out, right, we are missing out, and I know, temperamentally, you know, some of us could be very, very close to changes, especially when we have made some plans and to reconsider, you know, some things, reconsider certain steps. Temperamentally, you know, maybe we are not open to it, like we're saying, okay, this is it, it's close, let's go for it. But, you know, when you know that, you know, there is this, there is this directing that's coming from God, there is this wisdom that's coming from him, and, you know, we will do well to receive that, we will do well to follow through with that, okay. So, yeah, so maybe sometimes there are, you know, delays, maybe there are, sometimes there are, you know, unexpected direction the Lord leads us in. Of course, first thing is to ensure, make sure that it is God indeed who's leading. But it takes us into the increase, it takes us into, you know, even more fruitfulness, right, okay. Say, spirit-led change is needed to transcend into new seasons of glory with God, amen. Yeah, so the Lord has, the Lord just takes us, he does take us to another level, right, so be open to that, okay. Another thing about planning, probably the other is the last thing about planning is, to understand that, but just like how we looked at vision and how we, you know, we get excited about vision, you know, sometimes, you know, we get, we look at this plan, wow, this is wonderful, you know, and I remember, you know, in my school days, I'll make a study plan, right. I'll start from six months before, make a study plan, look at it and say, okay, all these subjects, you know, I'm just giving it ample time to study, to revise, and it looks fantastic on paper. It's like six months before, you know, I'm like thinking, I'm gonna mail it this time, right. So six months becomes five months and the plan has not started yet. Four months, three months, two months, and then, you know, a month before the exam and still, you know, I'm just living the life on the edge, not starting anything and then, you know, and sometimes it would come down to the night before the exams. You know, it started out with six months, the plan, and it's come down to, you know, just cramming the night before the exams. I don't know if any of you have that experience, but I had it multiple times and I'm wondering what happened, what happened to those six months, right. Well, what happened was that the plan didn't, you know, get off the ground in the sense there was no execution of the plan, right. So many times we plan things, but that plan needs to be executed and we might have a great vision, but that vision ultimately spells or translates into work, right. So it needs to be done, it needs to be executed. And, you know, I used to work for a company which made toys, right, Mattel toys, Barbie and, you know, Hot Wheels. So every weekend, you know, we used to have these promotions in these malls, right, and those days malls were just coming up in Bangalore and I think we had maybe two or three, now there are many, many more. So we used to plan these promotions and it used to look at, you know, great plans, but then what we realized was that it had to be carried out on the shop floor. It had to be executed the way we plan, you know, in the office. So what was planned in the office and what was actually executed on the shop floor, you know, if there's a mismatch then it didn't yield the result. And weekends, you know, we were looking at weekends where the sale would happen and there will be more, you know, footfall in the stores and so on, right. So, you know, it was an important lesson. It's great, you can plan, but, you know, it has to be executed and execution always takes, you know, there's a lot of hard work, effort, sweat, and only then will it yield, right. So here we see the planning is the beginning, but be diligent to work out the plan, like carry out the plan. Initially there will be some, you know, there might be some inertia, you know, maybe personally you might feel some kind of inertia in getting it done and stepping into it and, but start, right. Second thing to keep in mind is don't let the present circumstances keep you from doing what you should be doing, you know, in the present circumstances they will always, you know, now this is something that I'm not saying that I'm 100% successful and maybe all of us, maybe there could be, you know, some folks here who are quite successful at that, you know, managing different things, but this is a reality, right. So when we plan things, you know, we're planning, okay, this is what I want to do but then there are these things that are present's responsibilities or current things that need to be done, which seem to crowd our schedule, right. So all circumstances, maybe some challenges, maybe some difficulties, right. Well, don't let that keep you down. Don't let that prevent you from doing what you should be doing. Right, so we're talking about execution of the plan. When it comes to the execution of the plan, there will be, you know, there will be some rescheduling that needs to be done with our, maybe with our life, with our, you know, maybe there are certain things, you know, you can't carry everything, right. There are certain things that you might have to, you know, hand over for a season so or, you know, put down for a season and you need, you're the best judge of that, right. You decide, okay, this is what I'm going to put down now so that I can carry this, this is priority, I need to do this, right. So, so that's the second thing, you know, there will be things when it will come in the way of implementation of the plan because you're already set into a, you know, routine, you're already set to schedule. There will be things that need rearranging, there will be things that maybe need to be, you know, dropped off so that you can do this, right. But since it's important, since it's, you know, you've, you know, you've journeyed with God through this, you know, take it up, do it, right. And thirdly, it's not enough to be busy, you know, to ask the question, are we busy doing the right things? Okay, well, if you, if you want to go from point A to point B and if you want to run from point A to point B, you know, probably the best thing to do is not to get on a treadmill, right. You're on a treadmill, you know, you will be at point A and you will be running, but you will not be reaching point B, right. And it, I mean, it's a, it's a good activity. There's a lot of sweating that's happening, calories being burned, but your objective was to go from point A to point B, right, not remain at point B. So to ask oneself, you know, I'm busy, but am I busy doing the right things? Is it, am I busy doing what needs to be done so that I'm moving forward with the plan, right. I'm moving forward in executing the plan, or am I filling my time with activities and I'm doing this, I'm attending this meeting, I'm attending this workshop, I'm attending this seminar, I'm doing all this, but am I moving in executing the plan, right. So we need, again, we need to ask ourselves and even in asking this question, just involve God and ask, ask the Lord, should I be doing this a lot at this time? Is it really necessary? Okay, okay, let's look at a few scriptures here. Probs 12 and verse 11, he who tilts his hand, land will be satisfied with bread, but he who follows frivolity is devoid of understanding. You know, many times we justify certain activities which are times dealers, you know, there are certain activities which, you know, which just take away portions of time, chunks of time, you know, maybe social media and spending time on Instagram or, you know, YouTube, just, you know, we know the value in doing that. We know that, you know, there are certain things that you need to do, maybe it's promotions, maybe it's, you know, learning that's happening, maybe it's just leisure, okay, but be mindful of that because huge chunks of time, which is a non-renewable resource will just go by, right, so be mindful of that. Probs 13 and verse 4, the soul of a lazy man desires but has nothing, but the soul of the diligent shall be made rich, right? So diligence talks about determination, diligence talks about, you know, actual work. So diligent being active, putting effort, there is, you know, there is benefit at the end of that. So yeah, so we'll stop here with regard to plan. So I hope that changes, you know, something about us in us with this whole aspect of planning that especially when it comes to church or ministry, you know, sometimes, I mean, we might go the, you know, either extreme, right, we might either plan in the flesh, leave out, you know, this aspect of being led by God or, you know, not sit down and plan at all and not use our, you know, our learnings and mental faculty at all and say, well, that seems to be so off the flesh. I'm going to lean in and be led by the spirit, but then, you know, this is what we see in scripture, that God is a God who plans, that God is a God of plan and purpose and he unfolds everything by the council office, you know, the plans of the Lord, by the council office will, right? So we see that and we looked at some of these guidelines. Now, yeah, we may not remember everything, but we can always go back and check and see, you know, what are some things that I can, you know, put to practice, right? So just want to encourage us to, you know, put this into practice, right, as we plan, okay? The next topic is about organizing and again, here we will look at some of the practical aspects of organizing, arranging, which, you know, which needs to be, which will be an activity or which will be something or a responsibility of the leader, right? While we are studying Christian leadership, we are looking at maybe a leader in the position of leadership, a person who's in a position of leadership, leading a team or ministry or a church or, or anything or we can actually apply it even in our, you know, our roles and responsibilities in, you know, as a working professional as well. But we see that, you know, that we need to organize our, you know, several areas of our lives, right? Several areas of our work in order to be optimum, in order to be effective, right? So, so let's look at that maybe for about 10 minutes. I just want to, you know, focus on that, okay? So we're just moving from planning into organizing and, and we're going to look at some tools also to help us organize, organize our personal time and personal activity, okay? So let's look into that. Okay, so the organize is to arrange something in a systematic and orderly manner, to just arrange something, sort something, categorize it and to put things together, okay? So I think the best place to start is our wardrobe. You know, that's, that's, that will show us, you know, how open we are to being organized or how organizing, you know, things is part of our lives. You know, I think that's, that's a great place to look into and see am I organized or not. So organize is to arrange, right? In a systematic and orderly manner. So I just want to ask, you know, how many of you, you know, find the things that you want to, that you're searching for all the time, you know? It could be your, you know, house keys, it could be the keys to your vehicle, it could be, you know, your personal stuff. How many of you saying that I, you know, or I spend about, you know, five minutes looking into it and every time, you know, if I have to search for my phone and it's like, you know, I'm looking into the bag, you know, where is it? Where is it? Where is it? So how many of you find it all the time? How many of you have challenges with it? Okay, let's look at finding it. Okay, so, okay, if Maggie finding it all the time, Sam finding it all the time. Okay, who else finds it all the time? Sometimes, okay, you end up finding it, okay? Finding it not all the time, but sometimes, yeah, okay, okay. Okay, so it means that you know where it is and you, you know, after using it, Kennedy says sometimes, you know, after using stuff, you put it back, you know, where it belongs, you know. So in a way, you are organized in that sense, right? You put it where you put things back where they belong or you have this within you to, you know, to put it, you know, this is where it is, there's a place, there's a set place for the things that you're using, that you're, so you don't look for it elsewhere, you know, this is the place where it is, right? So, you know, that's the basic thing, right? Arranging, organizing, maybe even sequencing, putting things together so you can, it is effective, you know. So when you arrange your wardrobe, it lives easier, right? You know where the clothes are, you know, where the trousers are, you know, where the shirts are, you know, you know, where the other clothing is and then you find it, you take it, right? You're not wasting time, you know. On your desktop, you know, if you're using a computer, on your desktop, some desktops are like nightclubs, you know, it's like, oh, it's like everything is there, scattered across the screen, you know, where do you find it? You know, how do you find it? And then how do you find a single file, a document? You're going to be spending a lot of time just to find one file, to retrieve one file. Then it's a big challenge, right? So the thing is organizing, you know, it always helps. It makes it, you know, so much easier, effective, smooth, where your time is spent on the important things, maybe solving a problem, maybe finding, you know, solutions for certain challenges, rather than these routine tasks of accessing it, retrieving, you know, files and documents, right? So just some simple examples of how organizing can really help us. Now, when you take it to the big things, you know, maybe organizing a ministry, organizing, you know, certain things in our own lives, then you see the importance of it. Okay, so these small things actually, you know, if we don't actually deal with the small things, it might, you know, affect these areas also. So it's good to start there, right? I'm not saying that people who are super organized will not, you know, will be organizing. I'm not making that connection, or I'm not even saying that people who are not organized personally will never, you know, be organized organizationally, you know, all that, not making that thing. But then it really helps. Like, if it's part of your life, it really helps, right? Okay, let me just share that screen again. Right, so what are, you know, when it comes to, you know, as a Christian leader, what are some areas to get organized, especially if you're leading a church, a ministry, okay? So one is to organize your church, organize your ministry, and it to, so that it will function better. And based on the, and there are many ways to do it, but then it can be done on the basis of the people that the ministry is reaching, okay? So, you know, if it's a, you know, there's a simple chart which shows that, okay, you can look at what are the ministries within the church? You know, we're looking at, for example, a church, you can, you know, kind of extend it to whatever else that you're handling, whatever you're organizing. So what are the ministries within the church? Who are the people we are reaching within the church? What are the ministries within the church, you know, to organize it according to that? Then, or to categorize it, to identify it. What are the ministries which are, you know, outside, which are reaching outside? So it's an outreach, it's an evangelism based. What is it that we do in order to reach the people outside, with the gospel? So inside could be teaching, training, counseling, and it could be, you know, yeah, maybe a deeper study, maybe discipleship, you know, what comes as under discipleship and all that. So we're reaching out would be outreaches, you know, maybe personal evangelism, maybe missions, and so on, you know. Of course, mission is another category, we're reaching beyond the immediate sphere, right? So to organize our departments, organize our organization according to this, where each of these ministries have somebody overseeing them, or maybe someone overseeing multiple, you know, ministries, but you can organize yourself that way, now organize the ministry in that manner. The second thing would be to organize the people. Now, when we look at a church, when we look at a ministry, we see that people are the most valuable resource we have, and we need to organize people as well. People are doing various, you know, various tasks, they are carrying out various responsibilities, they are shouldering various responsibilities. So it's important that we categorize or organize, so there is, you know, so you identify, okay, this is the person who's carrying out this function, or this is the person who can take care of this responsibility. If there is a big responsibility, now you organize people to shoulder those responsibilities. So in order to do that, now I realize that, you know, some of this is very, very basic, and some of us are very familiar with it, but I'm just repeating it, right? So, well, the first thing would be, okay, who are the people who are actually going to be leading what we call as a ministry, right? Something that serves the people, you know, a set of things, a set of processes that we do in order to serve the people, right? Maybe if it's something like counseling, which is something that's reaching out inside the church and also outside the church. Now, who is going to be leading it, right? Who's going to be overseeing it, right? So the first thing would be to, you know, have or appoint or, you know, select people in order to lead such ministries, you know, finding someone capable, someone with a vision, with the same heart, someone who has a heart to serve in that area, who's gifted, graced in that area, right? Then, within that ministry, show that there will be, you know, other functions which are required, you know, if you take a church, then you see, you know, for the Sunday service, there are, you know, several moving parts, right? There are several processes that are going simultaneously in order to, you know, for the service to be, for the service from start to finish, right? And some of these processes would start at, you know, not on Sunday, but then it's the beginning of the week itself, right, or the middle of the week. So who are those people who take care of those processes, like maybe ushering, maybe media, maybe worship, maybe it's the welcome team, maybe, you know, all these areas, like live streaming, audio sound and all that. So are there people who are overseeing these functions, right? Now, initially, the function could be very, very basic. Maybe it's a church with 10 people, you know, maybe there is, and maybe there's sound system and someone needs to handle it and maybe there's one person, you know, this is enough, just comes, which is on, you do it. But then it's good to identify who's that one person who's going to do it, right? And so there is accountability. So we know who's that, you know, so that it gets done as well, right? So nothing falls through the gaps, right? Nothing is left undone, right? Who's doing that today? I don't know, you know, it shouldn't come to that. So that, you know, it's effective, it's run well, it's done well, right? So team leaders for functions and, you know, within the team, of course, the team is made, could be made of volunteers, could be made of staff. The team leaders also a mix of staff and, you know, could be volunteers who are volunteering their time, volunteering their, you know, their gifts and everything. They are coming forward to do this, right? So it's important that we look at it look at these functions and see who are the people who are actually doing it and to either invite, if they are volunteers to invite, ask them to do it, get people trained and ask them to do it, or to, you know, to appoint people who already have the training and the ability for that particular, you know, maybe it's a specialized function, right? Which requires that maybe it's a specialized function like maybe handling sound, right? And maybe it requires someone who has the expertise, who has the skill and the experience. So, and well, we might have to maybe appoint someone for that particular as staff to carry out that particular responsibility. So, you know, it needs to be done that way. Okay, so organizing people, organizing ministries, and also organizing our time. And this is, you know, another key thing, right? The time that we have, the time that you and I have is, it needs to be spent well, it needs to be stewarded well. And the 24 hours that we have is what we have to get things done, right? To carry things, get things done effectively. So it helps if we plan, right? It helps if we plan. And, you know, especially if you're looking at, maybe you're looking at a church, looking at a ministry, it helps to have, you know, an annual calendar. Okay, this is what we'd like to do in the 12 months, 12 months of this year, okay? And rather than thinking, you know, what am I going to do this week, right? What am I going to do this month? Or what are we going to get into this month? To plan ahead and to have, you know, have an annual calendar. These are some of the areas. It again flows from the vision, right? The vision, and which we break it down into mission statement, what we are about, what we are doing, and then we have certain goals, right? And in order to do that, you know, we are scheduling our time. We are organizing our time to be effective, right? So, to we take that entire year and say, okay, this is what we are going for in this year, okay? Which means there could be, you know, we're looking at different ministries, and we're looking at different, you know, different areas of different ministries, and we're saying, okay, this is what this ministry, you know, is going to do in these 12 months. So the ministry leader can plan that. Ministry leader can plan, this is what we plan in January. We want to do these things, these three things. In February, we want to do this. In March, we want to do this. So we plan the entire year, right? When it comes to, let's say, maybe the pulpit calendar, you know, you're a pastor, and you're saying, okay, this is my congregation, maybe 50 people, 100 people, whatever, 500. But this year, we feel that we want to make this journey, right? Especially in faith, we want to grow. You know, we want to grow in these areas, right? So you identify two, three areas, and accordingly, you can plan the study of God's Word, okay? So these are areas, and we're going to look at marriage and family, right? So just feel that there's a need, that people need to have a biblical perspective of marriage, a biblical perspective of family, and it's going to help those who are single, and it's going to help those who are married as well. So yeah, we're going to look at that. So what are those Sundays in the year that you're going to be, you know, preaching about, or you're going to be teaching on marriage and family, right? It helps to, you know, plan that, right? So your entire pulpit calendar can be planned out. Again, when we say plan, we're saying, okay, we are thinking, we are dreaming with God, and saying, God, you know, this is where we, you know, we feel that we need to go as a church. We need to, you know, we need to make this move as a ministry, and then, you know, plan things out, okay? Okay, so we'll stop here, and probably we'll review organizing again, and then get into some details of scheduling our time, in the next class. Okay, so yeah, we'll stop here. All right, you guys have a great weekend. Thank you so much. God bless.
