 All right, so we've been talking about faith and the people whose faith has been mentioned in the book of Hebrews And the fact that faith is what has pleased God and God is talking about it We were looking at the life of Abraham just before we closed and we said that it really takes faith to go where God is leading us And to believe in the promise in this case it was not just him But we noticed that Isaac and Jacob they also lived in tents because they were moving Towards the place that God wanted for them and they were waiting for a city Which has foundations whose builder and maker is God so talking about The promised land not just the physical promised land which they would inherit now We know that people of the Old Testament they don't have this kind of revelation which we have Through the logos or the revealed word of God But still in their spirit it is possible that they had an idea that some day There will be the city of our God, which is their ultimate promise land and They looked forward to it So was it a loss that Abraham never really inherited now We know that the the borders the boundaries which were promised to Abraham is actually Israel the children of Israel their land is Israel But did Abraham possess it and occupy it and thrive in that Land when he was alive not really Okay, similarly you don't read so much about Isaac and Jacob possessing the land as well, but Their descendants descendants move towards it But how did they die they died in faith and their expectation was more than the physical land But a spiritual city whose builder and maker is God You know the culmination of things happens. We know that we are going to enjoy our time in The city that God makes for us and that's what they were looking forward to so that's a little bit about their faith and You know how that inspires us Sarah is the next person here. What about Sarah was she? Painted as a perfect person not really because when you see Her response to the promise of God. We're told that she laughed when she was told that she's going to bear a child in her old age She was caught laughing and then the angel tells her by next year around this time you will have that child How beautiful God has included her in this list of people of faith So we are told Sarah herself also received strength to conceive seed and She bore a child when she was past the age. So that gives us confidence. It shows us that If God has a plan for us We can We may not even feel strong either through physical age or you know some other some other Weiriness that that we have we may think how am I going to believe that God can do this? You have to first receive a seed to give birth to something isn't it? So that seed is the promise of God's word We may feel that we are not strong enough to receive that promise, but Sarah Receive strength to conceive seed Even the strength to believe that promise of God Get it into your spirit. Let it grow and then give birth to the promise of God It's possible by faith and in the physical we have seen Sarah do it at her old age We 90 90 is what a people estimate her age at 90 have you heard any woman Bearing a child Rare isn't it but by faith the impossible was made possible and that is Inspiring for us today. We can do it through faith Even when we may feel that I'm worn out God can give us that promise and we can bear that child and Her attitude towards God. No, she understood who God is she recognized that my body may be Old but isn't it God who created my body? Doesn't he know when he has promised doesn't he know that he can help me to bear a child? So no wonder he has made the promise so she judged him Faithful if God said it He knows what he's talking about. So I'm just going to believe it will happen and it happened So she counted him faithful the one who had promised Therefore wow one believing couple What did God do? one man Him as good as dead We're born as many as the stars of the sky in multitude innumerable as the sand which is by the seashore so Abraham's faith Sarah's faith The journey began with one Isaac, but God had promised him to go back Genesis 12 Genesis 15 You see the journey of Abraham you see that God told him your descendants will be countless and It's true today physically. There are you know Thousands of descendants that have lived on the face of the earth Abraham's descendants, but even spiritually we know that the believers are the descendants of Abraham So aren't they new innumerable? Aren't they so many it's true and God has done it through a believing couple In their so-called Impossible situation so today if we believe God Even the impossible is possible Okay now Talking about all these people Abraham Isaac and Jacob I told us that they were living in tents They never really stepped into the or possessed the promised land, but they died in faith Okay, not having received the promises or sometimes that is the case There are people who have gone ahead of us God laid a promise on their hearts, but the thing is you see They believed God and that is what is important Maybe that promise was not meant to be received by an individual, but by some generations put together Yes, so some promises are like that, but those who had faith in God They have left behind a good example for us. So when you look at people like Abraham Isaac Jacob and all Something special. How did they treat the promise of God? They saw them from afar off. So it's talking about spiritual senses Today when we think about the promise of God for us. Are you able to see it? When you're praying when you close your eyes in your spirit, can you see That it's going to be fulfilled. If not, then we really have to you know Pray and let that build in our spirit man and be able to perceive the promise Fulfill that's what faith is faith is a substance. It's a reality inside of us. So these people they saw it It is coming one day. It is coming. So they were sure of that One is they saw it second. They were assured of them So they were confident they knew God would do it. They embrace them embrace them is to Again you you're saying I fully given myself to this promise. I know that God will do it. So you fully receive it in other words They receive the embrace them. They confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth. So that confession was in line with what their confession was in line with the faith Because they believed God will give us a good land. He will give a great land to our descendants. So so they spoke it. So these are all ways in which we can Express our faith. We see the promise. We are assured of the promise. We Embrace the promise we confess the promise And it takes faith to move in in this kind of a way And you know, if at all they had not trusted God's promise and looked ahead We are told that they too could have become discouraged Now what is the message to these believers who are listening the Hebrew believers? The messages don't be discouraged if you are discouraged and if you turn back then what is what is the problem? You might get tempted to go back. You might get tempted to give up On what God has spoken but these people they did not give up. So again, I'm not sure what is the message So again an encouragement is look ahead and not behind If you keep looking ahead and and trusting in God, you know You will move forward and God was so happy to be known as a God of such people of faith That you know God Himself prepares a city for them But they have I saw one comment here Which you have posted I didn't understand you said he did not die. What did you mean? Is that a question? Okay, it was about Enoch is it okay at that time you posted it. Okay. I understood Yeah So Abraham and his sons we saw that now let's continue to see more Lives of people mentioned Isaac okay Isaac he did something by faith. What was that? He blessed his son So in the generation at that time they had this practice of Before dying passing on, you know blessing the the children so Isaac blessed But by faith Isaac it says So what happened if you see the way the names have been written it is blessed Jacob and Esau Concerning the things to come Looking at the lives. We understand that Isaac loved Esau Okay, and it was the mother Rebekah who liked Jacob and was doing things for Jacob When the time for blessing came Isaac wanted to bless Esau, but we know what happened, you know Jacob deceived and he went in and Isaac couldn't see very well. So the blessing which was meant to be taken by Esau went on to Jacob. So in a way You know, there is an element of faith If Isaac wanted to do things the way he pleased the blessing should have been given to Esau But the blessings went off to Jacob. So it's really an act of faith. Maybe Isaac would have prayed and said Lord This is what I want to do. I want to bless Esau and I want him to be the head and you know, I want him to be the ruler And I'm gonna do this But you help me. Maybe he submitted it to the Lord. So when he submitted it to the Lord God Made things happen according to his purpose Even though it looks like oh mistake happened not really God in a way led Yes, what Jacob did was not correct bestowing is not correct But even in those circumstances You know God is the one who can redeem the wrong that the mistakes that humans make as well. So Definitely Jacob is held accountable for the wrong that he does but God shows his goodness in that situation and According to the purposes of God the blessings go to Jacob and not Esau and that's why it's said by faith Isaac Blessed Jacob and he saw concerning things to come. So the way things unfolded later We know that Jacob is the one who became Israel and Israel is the You know the when we talk about Abraham's descendants We associate that with the generation of Jacob. Okay, so Things unfolded in that manner then next by faith Jacob. What did he do? When he was dying he blessed the sons of Joseph and worship leaning on the top of his staff They're all carrying on the promise of God till now they have not gone to that city which was promised to Abraham So in continuation of the father's faith Jacob is not blessed now blessing Who he is blessing the sons of Joseph because it brought a lot of comfort to Jacob So he blessed his sons and he knew that God is going to lead these You know these these children of mine and strengthen them and Surely, you know, God is going to reveal his glory Through my descendants and he worships the Lord He worships the Lord for God's faithfulness in his life And he leaning on the on top of his staff You see how specific the Bible is if you recall going back to Genesis 32, I think no Jacob wrestled with God and Then he wrestled his hip Right his hip The angel touched the hip and he started limping from then on That limp also is recorded here That yes, he is not a Like you could say the limp. No, sometimes people say it just shows that he wasn't perfect Okay now There are many wrong things that Jacob did but look at God Recording the good things from the lives of the people is now you may ask the question Wasn't Abraham wrong? No, he lied to Abima like you can say Sarah laughed at God's promise you can say oh look at Isaac No, he did this and Jacob did that and all these people that you are talking about they were sinful people but They were people who at some point in their life You know, they gave themselves to God and God's purposes and plans and they continued with that and God has chosen For whatever reason to highlight the good things from their life that came Once they had a surrender to him So yes, nobody is perfect if we want the best example It's always Jesus. Okay, and we will come to that later in the next passage We will come to that but the ultimate example is Jesus because he is sinless and perfect But still from the lives of these people we can always learn something Joseph is The next person here by fate Joseph. What did he do? He instructed his Descendants not to bury him in Egypt. Why because God had promised Abraham 400 years later your descendants are going to move out From here and they will move towards the promised land. So just think about this Generation after generation, they are holding on to the promise of God. It's going to happen. So he tells his children Don't bury me in Egypt keep my body or The bones you keep my bones when you go to the promised land there You please bury my bones because that is our land. This is not our land. So What does it take to believe that? Imagine Joseph is going to die now, but It's like a prophetic word God has spoken 400 years later. We will go to that land. So Joseph is believing 400 years ahead and Telling his descendants take my bones buried there. Wow. What fate isn't it? So no wonder God has recorded that by faith. He told his children. Don't bury me. I Want to rest on my physical mortal remains must rest in the promised land of Moses. What about him by faith? When he was born, he was hidden three months by his parents because they saw he was a beautiful child And they were not afraid of the king's command. So is it going to take faith to go against the Rule or the decree in the land? Yes It was not easy, but Moses his parents protected him They knew that God had a great destiny for this Jewish child and So, you know, they you know the story, you know, he is taken to Pharaoh's daughter and raised as his son till God Equips him to become the deliverer. So all this how did it happen through faith first? Moses's parents were the ones who needed that faith again. Now that same faith in Moses When he grew up, you know that he refused to be In the Pharaoh's palace and continue he wanted to deliver His own people. So that also shows that he was aware of his identity he was aware of his identity and That he had committed himself to the purposes of God So it takes a lot of courage to reject the world Okay, in other words, you can say that by faith Moses rejected The pleasures of this world. Well, he could have lived like a king Had a great life had a lot of servants everything, but What did he choose by faith? He chose the plan of God. Was it easy? It was not easy. You know, he had to go Go face Pharaoh take the children out of Egypt So many miracles that that he needed to walk through Lead the people through tough times Easy no worth it. Definitely is because he full he walked in the purposes of God so it took faith on the part of Moses and Yeah, he also had, you know, the sense that he needed to endure So that he can accomplish what God told him to do 28 verse 28 here By faith, he kept the Passover and sprinkling of blood Lest he who destroyed the first bond should touch him again, you know to follow every instruction of God No, I when he was told, okay, it is going to be rain and flood you build an arc He has not seen these things, but he believed now think about Moses everyone is dying Especially the first spawns. They're going to Die in the the plague that is going to affect them So when God told him That you must celebrate the Passover and take the blood, you know, put it on the Put it on the doorpost and all that it took faith now Moses could have questioned and said, are you sure God? What if I do it and people still die but Moses believed God and he said, okay, Lord, you're telling me to do this I know that you're going to protect our children He instructed the people they did it. They were safe and they were ready to move out of Egypt. So he went by faith by faith It is said that the Israelites They Went through the Red Sea as by dry land Whereas the Egyptians are attempting to do so where brown, you know, sometimes we ask the question How how was that miracle possible? When the waters was standing up We those of us who have seen the movie and all We see that the Egyptians try to come They're like, okay, the waters are still standing. We will also escape But there was a different dynamic acting For the Israelites and for the Egyptians. What is that? The Israelites carried faith and that is why they were able to cross through the Red Sea So you just apply it, you know everything that we are reading about we can apply it in our own lives today Maybe it's some challenging circumstances that we are walking through Our friends people who don't believe might say it will never happen You will never be able to make it or you'll never be able to clear your exams or you'll never be able to clear the interview But just think about this passage The Red Sea God's people were able to go through because of faith and the ones who did not believe they drowned So keep the faith alive through faith We can pass through many things, you know, of course based on the way God is leading us It's not to say that you can do whatever you like No, but when God has a purpose we can walk through it But it's going to take faith to cross our Red Seas It's also going to take faith to make the Jericho wall fall down We have many Jericho walls in our lives, isn't it? We have challenges financially, it's like a wall We have health challenges, it's like a wall We have relational issues with people, it's like a wall It stops us from moving forward towards the promises of God Now how do I get this wall to fall down? Now, one element of course is faith Now Joshua, when he led the people, they went round the wall seven times And obviously it needed faith, isn't it? It was so foolish Those who looked at them were wondering, what are these people doing? But that's how God's instruction is When we listen to God's instruction, we have to be faithful to that And maybe God might say, okay, I need you to speak God's word Then the wall will crash, okay, speak it Or I need you to praise, like Jehoshaphat You praise and you go into battle, the wall will crash So I just do that, how? By faith So I need faith to see my walls crashing down Take God's instruction by faith and the walls will come down There is a mention of Rehab also Rehab, sinful woman, she is known as a harlot or a prostitute But she is included here because of her act of faith She was from a different community But included into this, into the, you could say family of faith Why? Because of her reverence for God So when she recognized these spies believe in this God And I fear this God and I believe in this God She was ready to give them protection So it was because of her faith in God That she did what she did, even though she was known as a sinful woman Of those days and we know that she is somebody who then got Included into the community of faith What did she do? She protected the spies And later on, if you know the story She hung that some scarlet outside her window And when the walls crashed, they were protected But then what is that? You can again look at that red scarlet hanging outside Rehab's house And it's like the blood of Jesus, isn't it? It's like the blood of Jesus It's like the Passover blood of the Lamb that protected the people And it protected Rehab and her household Her faith protected her in the midst of dangers around her And so today also we can trust God I believe in you, there are lots of dangers But you will protect me Rehab's house stood when all the other houses crashed So by faith this can happen Now there are so many people like this By faith they saw God's purposes accomplished There's a mention of Gideon Remember Gideon? He thinks that he is a very weak and a fearful individual But God calls him Mighty Man of Valor And we know that he won the battle that he fought against his enemies And in the same way, there is Barak Barak is a general Like an army general But he teams up with Deborah And Deborah encourages him And he goes and fights a battle and he wins the battle So basically what we are told here is People who have accomplished anything for God Anything that is counted as an accomplishment in the Kingdom of God It is done by faith So that's the point So these people won battles Samson, Samson also won a lot of battles Jeffta, Jeffta also is a person who defeated the Ammonites And then there is a mention of David David was a king, he was a warrior Samuel, Samuel is a prophet So Samuel, it was a journey of faith It takes faith to hear from God and guide God's people So these are all examples of faith Are we saying that these people are perfect Because suddenly looking at Samson's name again, you wonder Oh, here's a man who did not have control on his flesh So what we would say is When you study, it's like character study Or individuals, we study them in the Bible When you look at a human being We might see weaknesses of their flesh Take what is good From Samson's life, we know that he fought those battles He was a mighty warrior Because of the anointing Because of his faith Now we want to follow that part of his life But the part of his life Where he sinned That is something we want to avoid That's why I told us Jesus is the best example You can follow everything about the life of Jesus and his character But other human beings No, we can't do that We really have to examine the life Even David, people might look at his life And say, oh what kind of a king was he No, he fell into adultery with Bathsheba Yeah, that part is wrong So we don't want to follow the weaknesses Of the flesh of human beings Instead there, faith Now if you look at the faith accomplishments of David There are so many battles that he won Starting with the battle with Koliath You remember, nobody thought David was a warrior God brought him on the scene And he killed a giant So it started there And many victories And he set up the tabernacle of worship So from the life of David You see all these things Accomplished through faith So in this manner There are so many people Now there are mention of names Why are we talking about these people? Basically the discouraged believers are being encouraged And said look, there have been so many people Who have lived by faith So it's not like they didn't go through challenges They went through battles They went through struggles They went through delays They went through so many things But don't you think They have walked in the purposes of God by faith? So why are you giving up? Don't give up That's the point That's the reason he's talking about all these people And again he encourages them I mentioned names but There are so many others also Who have subdued kingdoms Subdued kingdoms is overcome You know enemies who come Enemy kingdoms You overcome them So there are so many such people You could say Joshua is a great example And then there are all those kings Esa, Jehoshaphat, Hezekiah, Josiah So these are kings Who were victorious We are told that there are people who work Righteousness So righteous kings That you can look at You can look at who stood by God's word Think about Elijah He challenged He challenged the standards of his times He challenged The The witchcraft And manipulation Of Jezebel and Ahab During those times And he brought the kingdom of God So there are people who have stood in righteousness In difficult times There are those who have Obtained God's promises Now again if you look back Almost everybody here Has Obtained God's promises You have Caleb Caleb's name is not mentioned isn't it He was told that he will get a mountain But He held on At the age of 80 He went and he said I am still as strong as I was 40 years ago It takes faith To receive the promises Of God So we have to learn from the examples Of such people Stop the mouth of lions So there are certain Examples like Daniel Think about that, he is a man of prayer He is a man given to holiness He was a man given to The pursuit of God And from the life of Daniel You really learn Even when he was thrown into the lions den The angels came And they shut them out of lions And you know later on again in battle You see that David took on Lions and David's mighty men Took on lions How did they do that? How can you Survive in the midst of lions Or today you might interpret it as When people are ready To get you How can you still be safe in a situation like that Faith When you are walking by faith God is there, God is for me You are able to Come out safely Quench the violence of fire Remember They were put in the fire And there was a fourth man in the fire Which is It was Jesus They were protected How can you How can you get into the fire And not be burned Faith The situation came Not that we go into fire No that's not the point When these things unfold In the midst of these Persecutions God is with us, he will help us Then escape the edge of the sword Or dangers Any attacks that come our way They escaped it Like you could say David Was charging at him But David escaped Chazabel came against Elijah But God protected him So they escaped From death Out of weakness were made strong One example is we have already seen Sarah Initially she struggled to believe But God gave her She received strength by faith So They became strong Gideon thought I can't do anything But he got the strength And he actually fought the battles So things like that Esther was not even interested She was just happy with her own life She had now Received a Beautiful opportunity to be in the King's palace And enjoy it But she Went challenged But that strength came And she also fasted and prayed God gave her that strength To Go ahead and Do what God wanted her to do That is bring deliverance to the people So people like that Became valiant in battle You could mention names like David Gideon, Barak, all these people again Turned to flight the armies Of the aliens Women received their bed To life again So there are some examples of Such women if you go back to The Books Go back to Elisha's life The widow of Zarafath Remember they had sons who died And these prophets raised them from the dead So these are all examples How did they do it? They did it by faith Now this is the next part Of this passage Till now we saw Victorious Accomplishments But from verse 35, the second part of it You see that there are some people Who have not Seen The outcome And rather the outcome did not Look Like a victory But whatever they went through They still went through by faith So there were some Who were tortured Some Not accepting deliverance That they might obtain a better resurrection So there were people who went through persecutions And struggles If you again look back at the book of acts You will ask the question Herod He killed James But Peter survived So what about James? Where is James's faith? There are some Who have been through What about Stephen? If he was a man of faith He died There are some Scorchings Imprisonment chains Even they are counted as people of faith Though they did not come out So called victorious There were people who were Stoned There were people who were cut in two Or sawn in two Tempted Slain by the sword There are people who try to escape They wandered in sheepskins Coatskins being destitute Afflicted, tormented The world did not think that They are worthy There are people who are wandered in deserts And mountains, dense caves Of the earth It's not about the Perception of man Man might not give a badge and say You are a person of faith But God has seen Even Such people who have born difficulty And though it doesn't Look very victorious for us God knows the heart That's what we see, isn't it? When David was chosen God sees the heart Man sees the outward appearance But God sees the heart God sees the faith And God is the one who Rewards these people So we are told All these people Good testimony through the faith They did not receive the promise This last bunch They did not receive the promise But Even their struggles Are something That They recognize that one part They have to do And together with us Is what the fulfillment Of the promise will look like So God having provided Something better for us That they should not be made perfect Apart from us There are certain promises of God Which May require more than One person's lifetime If you take for example Let's say the freedom Of a land You might have Some people who are Engaging in freedom struggle Now that generation struggles And they die The next generation might be The ones who actually receive that freedom But it's together With this generation that The promise is fulfilled So there are two generations that are needed To see the fulfillment of the promise So just because you saw One generation struggle It doesn't mean that God is not faithful To his promise But it's going to take this generation And another generation Look at Abraham Many generations of faith Till you see Then occupy The land which God has promised So it's like that So now I told us You can look at the lives of human beings And be so inspired So just want to know If you're feeling inspired By what we have studied today Anyone? Okay Great Aaron says yes Yeah So you know we are charged up Every time Personally for me also when I look at Hebrews chapter 11 I'm so Encouraged Hebrews 12 Is that perfection We are Inspired By Hebrews 11 By the lives of regular human beings Hebrews 12 talks about the Lord Jesus And it says Listen you discouraged believer We are surrounded by a cloud of Witnesses who are these witnesses All these names you saw know Abraham Sarah, Jacob, Isaac All those and many whose names Are not mentioned But they have made it They are looking at us They are looking whether we are going to make it In our faith journey So basically The believer is told come on Now you focus How to focus Lay aside every weight And the sin which so easily And snares us So you know when somebody is part of a running race They will try to be As light as possible You don't see them wearing Like a traditional Kurta or a suit Or even a saree Because it's difficult to run With Like a heavy Outfit And you try to reduce if you look at People who are participating in Olympics They might even go to the extent Of buying the lightest shoes And some scientific Clothes Because the weight is very light And you can cut through the air faster So that you can win the gold medal So when there is Weight it reduces our Speed What is the weight in a believer's life Sin When we have sin It slows us down And of course you know Jesus talked about The influences Of the world So you have a pride Lust of the eyes, lust of the flesh Pride of life, the worries of this life What is happening All these things are making Our run Slower Because it's heavy on us So basically we are told Don't get discouraged Keep the focus Get rid of the weights Put your trust in the Lord Overcome your fear, anxiety And run with endurance What is run with endurance I already told you For a short race it's easy We can make it It's what? It's a long journey The Race of faith is what? It's a long journey And whenever something is long You need endurance. Have you ever Travelled in a train Where it takes three days or something to I think maximum I have only done Like two days or two and a half days in a train By the end of The first Day You're thinking when is the station Going to come, when is it going Endurance right to Just finish the journey So he's saying The Race of faith is like that You need some endurance Don't give up, the station will come But you have to Keep the faith And walk in righteousness So he says, you know how You can be encouraged Look at Jesus He is the author Finisher of our faith You know why? Because Think about his life He endured the Cross Now we talked about a long race And a strange journey, all that is easy Comparatively But how about the cross You live your entire life To die on the cross And then you're actually on the cross That's so difficult and painful And Jesus actually did it He never thought of the shame Despising the shame It was told that to die on a Tree is like a curse But he said, okay, I will do it Why did he do it? The key thing is For the joy set before him So When we go through a difficulty We go through it Because we know that something is coming out of it When we write our exams Some exams very hard We study so hard No sleep Lot of pressures But why? Because if I clear this exam Then I will get a certificate I will get a degree That will help me get a job So there is something on the other side of your struggle Jesus also struggled Because Of his love for us He knew that we will be Forgiven of our sin And so the joy Before him, that was one reason But what was the other reason? If I finish my responsibility Then the father will say, okay Well done Not just good and faithful servant In the case of Jesus but my son Well done Son, you have done a great job And Thankfully, Jesus actually did it And now he sat at the right hand Of the throne of God So when Jesus can bear So much of pain Basically what he is selling the believers Is what you are going through is nothing We will all never be able to Compare to the pain That Jesus has gone through So whether you are a pastor Whether you are a leader Whether you are a student, a housewife Anything, whatever each one of us Are In our journey of faith Let us draw Our inspiration Yes, from all the others In the list of faith But mainly from Jesus Because we can never compare With the endurance That he had And so don't let Anything discourage us Okay, so let's stop here We ran out of time I will quickly wrap this up On a small passage left in Hebrews 13 We will quickly wrap it up Next class and we will We won't do James, we will do Maybe first and second Peter first And then we will come back To James, okay So if you can, please start leading First Peter. Okay, let's close with the word of prayer Anyone If you can pray please How about Dave? Dave, can you Close in prayer? Yes, ma'am. Thank you, Lord Jesus We think that we Will study from the word of God We think that You see What faith is through the book of Peter, Lord Jesus We think that there are so many Of these great Men Who have set an example for this one Said a model For all of us, Lord Jesus We thank you for those And that faith, Lord Jesus Help is one of us to be Faith-like, Lord Jesus To step in faith For you and your kingdom, Lord Jesus We thank you once again, Lord Jesus And pray that That you bless each one of us Whoever in the class and who are Who are not able to do it yet You pray that they Will come to join the next For the next classes We ask you to bless our day Amen, amen, amen Thank you, Dave, thank you everyone God bless you And I'll connect with you in the next class Have a great week, bye for now
