Copy that, I'm skipping over you, Roger. Okay, we got you checked in. Appreciate that, and we got you checked in. Scott, N7NPA, are you there with us? Yes. Yeah, I'm here Max. Yesterday you told me I didn't have to be here until 6, so I show up at 6. Well, my apologies. Do you want to close in prayer today? Are you okay with that? Yeah, I'm okay with that. Okay, copy that. Are you ready to copy requests over? Yeah, go ahead. All right. First of all, Al KJ7QQH is meeting with his doctor for an ultrasound this Thursday. And we just need to pray for clarity for Al KJ7QQH and his ultrasound. We got a good report from Carol KK7TPO about Patty's back surgery yesterday. We were praying about that. She said it went really well. We just need to pray for Patty's recovery now. So that's Carol KK7TPO. And then thirdly, Barbara, who is the mother of Dale who died. We want to continue to pray for her salvation and for Mike's ministry. Mike, that's W7TWO and his ministry and communication with her. QSL? Yep, IRA, 10-town, Mike. All right, real good, Scott. Okay, all right, we're going to get started with the West Coast Bible study. We are in 1 Corinthians chapter 15. Now, in our studies of 1 Corinthians... We have seen that Paul was addressing a number of problems in the Corinthian church recently. We saw him dealing with the misunderstanding and the misuse of spiritual gifts in chapters 12, 13, and 14. But having completed addressing that issue, Paul now moves on to deal with a far more important issue. and a far more troubling issue that was plaguing the Corinthian church, and that was the problem of the denial on the part of some in the church of the resurrection of believers in Christ. Now, if you'll notice 1 Corinthians chapter 15 and verse 12, it says, Now, if Christ be preached that he rose from the dead, now here it is, How say some among you that there is no resurrection of the dead? Now that's a problem. Way bigger problem than misunderstanding and misuse of spiritual gifts. And so nothing is more important to Christianity than the doctrine of the resurrection. If Christians are raised to eternal life after they die, then we have a blessed hope and future to look forward to. But if death is just the end and oblivion is our destiny, then we are of all men most miserable, as Paul goes on to say. We have nothing to look forward to, and life has no meaning or purpose. And so it was for the purpose of combating this teaching of hopelessness, this teaching that there is no resurrection of the dead, that Paul writes this entire chapter, and the entire chapter deals with that subject matter. And in this chapter, Paul asserts on no uncertain terms that believers are raised from the dead, and the argument he uses to prove that fact And the line of reasoning that he employs is that the resurrection of Christ and the resurrection of believers are inseparably related. So if one is not true, then the other could not possibly be true. But on the other hand, if Christ did raise from the dead, then it's absolutely certain that believers will raise from the dead as well, because we're in union with Jesus. And whatever happens to him happens to us. So if he rose from the grave, we will rise from the grave. If we don't rise from the grave, that means he didn't rise from the grave. And that's the logic Paul uses in this chapter. All right. Well, there's a basic introduction to the terrain that we're going to be traveling over as we look at 1 Corinthians 15. All right. We're going to be reading together verses 1 through 11. But before we do, we want to open our time together in prayer. Mike, W7TWO, could you please open in prayer for us today? Thank you. Ah yes, yeah. W7TWO, good morning everyone. Um, let's go to the throne of grace, to heaven and the Father. Thank you for this day. Thank you for this opportunity to get together around this round table. and we ask that you open our hearts and our minds to the wisdom that's embedded in the scriptures this morning. And we hope to see the opportunities that you give to us each day so that we can spread your word in our daily lives. We pray this in the name of our Lord and our Savior, Jesus Christ. Amen. Amen. Thank you so much, Mike, for that prayer. Really appreciate that. Okay, I'm going to ask Steve, W6YSI. Steve, if you'll read for us, please. That's 1 Corinthians chapter 15, verses 1 through 11. That's 1 through 11 there, Steve. If you could read for us, I'd be grateful. Roger that. Chapter 15, I'll be reading from the New American Standard. I make known to you, brethren, the gospel which I preached to you, which also you received, and in which also you stand. I, which also you are saved, if you hold fast the word which I preached to you, lest you believed in vain. For I delivered to you as first importance, but I also received, that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve. After that he appeared to more than 500 brethren at one time, most of whom remain until now, but some have fallen asleep. Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles, and last of all, as it were, to one untimely born he appeared to me also. Where am I supposed to stop, Max? You're supposed to stop at verse 11. Okay. For I am the least of the apostles. I'm not fit to be called an apostle because I persecuted the church of God. By the grace of God, I am what I am, and His grace toward me did not prove vain, that I labored even more than all of them, yet not I, but the grace of God with me. Whether then it was I or they, but we preach, and so you believe. And stop there at verse 12. Why is that? All right, Steve, real good. Thank you for that reading. Well done. Okay, any comments on this section? Please come down to your call sign. David, KK7 PDI, please go ahead. Thanks, Max. When I look at this passage here that we just read, again, I appreciate your summary, talking with respect. If there's no resurrection, we have no hope. But there's other instances as well within God's Word. Of course, Paul was brought up in the second heaven, and he said it is much better to be with Christ to remain here. But I also look at the Mount of Transfiguration. And you look at that in the Gospel of Matthew, or the Gospel of Mark or the Gospel of Luke. And there Jesus you see here is, you know, Peter, James, and John on this Mount Tabor, which is commonly known as the place of the Mount of Transfiguration. Some suggest it was Mount Hermon, but the fact is when they were there they witnessed Moses, and Elijah and they were talking to Jesus and the conversation is important too because Jesus was discussing with them his demise as far as his death and him coming home and so the way of the cross leaves home. Jesus understood that fully, and he was going to be coming home, and then they, he too, was resurrected, obviously, but to see Moses alive there in the transfiguration there with him, and to see Elijah again shows the resurrection is real, just as Lazarus was raised from the dead. They are in life our hope. We just have to be faithful to the end. He will keep us seven. Papa, Delta, India, back to you, Max. Yeah, thank you for that, David, and bringing in those additional scriptures. Yeah, Mount of Transfiguration shows that Elijah and Moses were with the Lord Jesus, and of course, Lazarus was with Abraham there, and we see that once these people died, they were in heaven, and they were conscious, and they were communicating, and they were there in the presence of the Lord Jesus. And, of course, Abraham, he also died, and he was alive there in heaven. So, anyway, abundant proof that there is life after death. You know, the whole idea that we die and are extinguished, or we die and go out into oblivion, is not possible to believe if we believe the Scriptures, because the witness is so abundant, and the witness is so clear, and the witness is all over the Scriptures, that there is life after death. We are conscious. We are still the same people we were here on Earth with the same identity, is what I mean to say. And, you know, we're able to converse and communicate and be recognized. So lots of good information in those passages, David. Thanks for bringing that out. All right, WB7MX, your other comments, please come now. Okay, I'm sorry. See you next time. Okay, we had a double there. We had Will and Kevin, and we'll go in that order. Will, KM5F, you go first. Well, my connection was Enoch came for them. Yeah, that's correct. Enoch was caught up to Heaven. It says there in Genesis, he walked with God and he was not, for God took him. So another example of someone who was taken up to Heaven. Will, go ahead and expand on your comment. What are you trying to tell us about Enoch there? Go ahead. Well, he didn't die, but he was just taken up. So there was no death, at least in the Bible, about him, Cain, Philip. Yeah, well, that's exactly correct. And he foreshadows those that are going to be taken up to heaven in the rapture who aren't going to die. And our passage, of course, deals with that a little later on here when he says in verse 51, Behold, I show you a mystery. We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed. In the moment in the twinkling of an eye at the last trump, for the trump shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed." So you're right, Enoch is a foreshadowing of those who are going to be, not go through the process of death, but are going to be translated into Heaven at the second coming of Jesus. So Will, thanks for pointing that out. There are some who won't be resurrected, they will just be transformed. And that happened to Enoch. It also happened to Elijah. He was taken up in a chariot. He didn't go through the process of death. And of course, then when Jesus returns, 1 Corinthians, let's strike that, 1 Thessalonians 4, verses 14 and following, 14 through 18. tell us that there's going to be others that way as well. We also read of the rapture in Revelation chapter 11. So, Will, there's a number of passages that tell us that there's going to be some small group of people who are going to not go through the process of death. They are going to be taken instantaneously and transfigured instantaneously at the second coming of Jesus. and we have examples of that in Enoch and Elijah for sure alright Kevin KB7ZXN you had a comment please go ahead yeah KB7ZXN well my comment is on a different note I would say taken up prior to the tribulation but I know there are those that have a different view of that, and I know there are some out here that don't believe in the rapture as well. But my point is, going back to the text here, is Paul very forcefully and clearly wants to establish the fact that Christ lived and died in the rapture. was buried and rose again physically according to the scriptures. This wasn't just a spiritual event. You know, back then the Greeks, oftentimes some of the philosophies of the Greeks as well as the Gnostics, believers that we see that spiritualize many things, And so they would, because they believed that the body, the physical body was inherently evil or of not any eternal value, that everything was spiritual as far as the resurrection or any resurrection. We still see that prominent today in groups like the Jehovah Witnesses who are really, witnessing against Jehovah. But the point is, Paul is establishing here. You know, you might ask, well, what is the gospel? Well, Paul does a wonderful job of establishing what the gospel is at the most fundamental level here. It is the death. It is the burial and resurrection of Christ, according to the Scriptures. You know, this was not done in a corner somewhere. It was not done in the dark. It wasn't just hearsay. It was prophesied throughout the Old Testament these events would take place. Jesus established himself and his credentials throughout his ministry and most ultimately in this death, burial, and resurrection. And many, many saw him in this event and witnessed this. So this was a... physical resurrection as well as we can look forward to that now we will be as you pointed out, we'll be translated into spiritual bodies but the noun, the focus is body there, so as Christ's death, burial and resurrection was both spiritual and physical we can look forward to that as well 57 Zedek Shem Yeah, Kevin, I really appreciate you bringing that emphasis because, you know, this is the essence of the gospel. You know, we have a really clear definition of the gospel here. You know, verse 1 says, Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also you have received, and wherein you stand by which you are saved. Well, what is that gospel? And Kevin, you know, you pointed out verse 3 and 4, here's the gospel. Christ died for our sins according to the scripture. There's the substitutionary atonement, that he was buried, he was actually physically dead. And then thirdly, that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures. And as you said, Kevin, that was a physical resurrection. His physical body literally came out of the grave, was re-inhabited by his spirit. And then he walked among the disciples for 40 days. and appear to them at least 15 different appearances that are recorded in the scriptures when you collate all the passages together. So these are the core truths of the gospel. These are the things we all agree on. Whatever else we might disagree about regarding spiritual gifts or eschatology or whatever... All those are of secondary importance. Primary importance is Christ died for our sins according to the Scripture. He was buried. He rose again according to the Scripture. So as you said, this not only was a historical event, it was also a prophesied event. And this is something that's right at the core of our belief. It's not something we will ever let go of or change or explain away or water down or downplay. Here is the heart of what it means to be saved. because this is the message that saves. He says that twice here. So anyway, let's focus on that. And Kevin, thanks for bringing our attention to that. All right, other comments, please come now. TWO. Okay, we had a double there, but I did get Mike, W7TWO. Mike, please go ahead. I totally agree with Kevin and you, Pastor Max. And I think it's really important to realize that Paul wasn't inspired to write this gospel until he got it directly from Jesus Christ back to him. Yeah, you know, Mike, you bring up a really important point, and that is that Paul is not the source of the message. Verse 3, I delivered to you, first of all, now notice, that which I also received. And so this is not some message Paul thought up. As Mike said, he received it directly from Jesus Christ. And so Christ, of course, appeared to Paul on the road to Damascus. And then it seems from Galatians chapter 1 that he spent three years with the Lord Jesus in the desert, being discipled by Jesus. And that's how he had this vast knowledge of what the gospel was. Paul also says this really clearly over in Galatians chapter 1, verses 11 and 12, and I just want to read that to you. Galatians chapter 1, verses 11 through 12, Paul says this. He says, But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached by me was not from man. For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ." So as you well said, Mike, Paul explicitly declares twice that Jesus was the one who taught him this message. It's not one he came up with on his own. So when we're hearing the voice of Paul, we're hearing the voice of Jesus, because he is echoing and restating and reflecting the teaching that Jesus gave him. Great comment there, Mike. Thank you for that. All right, there was another station on top of the mic. Other station, please come down. KJ7KVT. OK, I apologize, I just lost my Utah STR, give me a second to get this thing back because I don't think I'm going to be able to hear without it hanging. All right, Mark KJ7 PVT, thank you Kevin for the relay, much appreciated. Mark KJ7 PVT, come in. Yeah, can you hear me now? Yes, I can hear you, go ahead. Okay, well I'm just having a ball here listening to all these comments. They're so uplifting, the scriptures just sometimes make me giggle. We're talking about the Gospel, which again is the good news, And there was a story I heard once, a pastor was relating that he reads mystery novels to try to get himself off to sleep at night, and he was reading a novel and he was writing in the middle of it, and the woman in the story is tied to the railroad tracks, and her savior is often in a room tied to a chair, and everything is looking just terrible, and ... nice Some of them would like to just do some out of it. But we have the gospel. We have the good news. And many of us have been through horrible times of all kinds of sick and sick. And we've been through it. We've had times to get back in there. And we're going to be okay. And that's what this good news is. We have the gospel. Yeah, really well said, Mark. You're right. Life is full of problems and hardships and difficulties. We are, of all men, most miserable. And yet, that misery is resolved into joy, as you well said. And because we have a resurrection that's going to solve all of those problems, and we are going to have no more sorrow or crying or tears or death, for all those things are going to pass away. So the resurrection is the happy ending, as you well said. And that's the joy that assuages our sorrows. as we go through the difficulties of life. I'm reminded that elsewhere, Paul says, our light afflictions, which are but for a moment, work a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory. Well, we look not at the things which are seen, but the things which are not seen, because the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal. And while we don't see our resurrection yet, it is coming. And that is where the weight of glory and the deliverance from all problems are. So, Mark, thanks for bringing that out. Right now, as you said, we are in desperate straits. But the end of the story is there in Revelation 21 and 22. And what a blessed outcome we have waiting for us. All right, other comments on this passage? Please come down to your call sign. PDI. PDI, David, KK7PDI, please go ahead. I just wanted to make another point, Max, and that's with regards to, again, the proof of the resurrection. Many times you hear about John 20 and 25 where Thomas, a lot, it's called by many Doubting Thomas. I don't look at Doubting Thomas. I look at a Christian, a man who wanted to see evidence. And I think that's important because he didn't want to just believe what he was hearing. He wanted to see it for himself. And when Jesus appeared to him, of course, it don't be unbelieving, but be believing and put his hand here and whatever. And he did that. And then Thomas believed and said, my Lord and my God. But I praise Thomas because he needed the evidence. and we have all the evidence in the Gospel. We don't need anything else. Tito Tito 7, Papa Del Dandia, back to you, Max. Yeah, well said. You know, there's no historical fact that is better authenticated than the resurrection. There are a vast number of witnesses, a vast variety of witnesses, Those witnesses come from all different backgrounds. They witness this in all different time frames and situations. And so, you know, this testimony about the resurrection is not the delusion of one crazy person. You know, Paul lists all the witnesses here. He said he was seen by Peter. He was seen by the 12 apostles. He was seen by more than 500 brethren at once. He was seen by James. Once again, he was seen by all the apostles. And then he was seen by Paul. And so we have here this tremendous list of witnesses. And so Thomas needed that testimony. He needed that proof. You know, extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof. And so when you've got this extraordinary claim of the resurrection, you better have some pretty good proof for it. And we do. And that's the point David is making, is that we've got solid proof and evidence of the resurrection and the reality of it, the genuineness of it, the factuality of it, the historicity of it. And so this is something that's not doubtful or uncertain. You know, when you look at history, the amount of proof there is of this historical event or that historical event is often just from one source. And so it's important for us to understand that there are literally hundreds of sources of proof. for the resurrection of Jesus Christ. So this issue is not in doubt. And so by Paul proving the certainty of the resurrection of Jesus, he then goes on to say this is what provides the certainty of the resurrection of the believers. And that's the argument he's going to develop in our passage tomorrow. But for now, what are the facts? What is the Gospel? And who is the one who has purchased salvation? And did he rise from the grave? And we have the testimony of the scriptures, the Old Testament. Paul gives quite the list of the Old Testament passages that prove the resurrection in his sermon in Acts chapter 13, in verses 27 to 37. Acts 13, 27 to 37, the scriptures are quoted there by Paul in his sermon from the Old Testament that predict the resurrection. And then, of course, we have the testimonies of the resurrection. So this is not a situation that is in doubt. This is rock solid certain. And, David, I really appreciate you pointing out how certain that testimony and that proof really is. All right, other comments, please come down. KM5F. AK6, okay. All right, we had a double. We had Will KM5F and also Jeff AK6. Okay, Will KM5F, you please go first. Well, I often think that Thomas gets a bad rap because he wasn't in the room with the other apostles when they saw Jesus. He simply wanted to have the same evidence that they had or the same experience. John was the only one that I recall claimed to have believed without seeing Jesus or before seeing him. Can you apply that? Yeah, I agree with you, Will. Thomas, and I think that was pointed out by David as well, that Thomas gets this bad rap for being, like, doubting Thomas. Well, he wasn't doubting. He just said, okay, if you're going to claim this, prove it, you know. And one of the things I've said a thousand times, is this. He who asserts must also prove. Okay? If you're going to claim something, fine, go ahead and claim it, but you've got to back it up with proof. You can't provide proof that I can dismiss the claim. And that's all Thomas was saying. Okay, you said he rose from the grave. Show me. I want to see the same thing you saw. So let's not be down on Thomas. Thomas is just saying, okay, you've made the assertion. Let's have the proof. And there's nothing wrong with that. So, Will, thank you for pointing that out. All right, Jeff, AK6, okay, go ahead. Yeah, something else to consider. God has written himself on every man's heart. We all know that. And something that just occurs to me is that the Bible is the most read book in the entire world. That says something. And people have to take their experiences with the Lord and experience them for themselves, which is proof on its own, if that makes sense. Max, go ahead. But that this is the good news, the gospel that we stand on now, which we are being saved. You know, saved is vernacular. Not yet so much that we're being rescued, but it's also, as you know, in the Greek. denotes a continuous action. We are in the process of salvation. We are saved, but it also speaks to the perseverance, the eternal state of salvation. And in that, so this is good news. One historical event is a historical fact with eternal significance, but it includes the salvation and sanctification and the perseverance of that salvation, all in this just short area of text, if you will. And, of course, there's so much more in this chapter, but just in the first couple of verses alone, I think it speaks to the eternal nature and process of that salvation, the perseverance of the saints, if you will, KV7 is that example. Kevin, well said. You make such an important point there, because salvation is given to us in installment. And so we are saved when we repent and believe. We are justified. And then we are being saved. Salvation is continued to be applied to our lives in sanctification, where we grow in grace. And more and more, the blessings and the benefit of the cross are applied to our lives as we mature. And then, of course, salvation is completed when we die and go to be with the Lord and our bodies are resurrected. Yes. And so this is the reason for the emphasis that you pointed out here when he says that in verse 2, by which you are saved if you keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless you have believed in vain. And so what Paul is saying is that not enough to believe once. You've got to keep on believing. And if you stop believing, then it shows that your faith was never genuine. We all know people who have made professions of faith. We call them rocky ground hearers or stony ground hearers, where they embrace the gospel for a little while, and then they throw it away and they go back to the world, and they abandon their profession of faith. Well, those folks are not saved. And Kevin, I really appreciate you bringing out the necessity of perseverance and the fact that salvation is not only an event, it's also a process which has a conclusion that will occur when we're resurrected and reunited with our bodies and we are perfect body and soul for all eternity. So Paul gives this emphasis in verses 1 and 2. You're saved if you persevere in that faith. all the days of your life and don't go apostate and abandon it and turn away from it and go back to the world. So great point there, Kevin, straight out of the passage. All right, other comments, please come down. Mark, KJ7PVT, go ahead. Yeah, I was just trying to figure it out. It says something to it. If you think about it, back in 2013, I loved watching those guys. And you remember that just before they come onto the field, they You can go through the roster and they'll talk about all of the schools they've chosen. Some of them come from high school, some of them come from downtown. And some of them are gone, and it's just kind of a mixed bag. And in the past, they would have probably been opponents to each other. And they, with all of that, continue to play on the day of the play when they come together. I think anyone who watched that football game back in 2013, Pete Carroll's team, you saw those three humps coming from all those different backgrounds. They're just putting their arms around each other and they're moving back and forth, back and forth in a whole circle. and it's moving back and forth and they start chanting this, "We all we got, we all we need, we all we got, we all we need." And when I saw that, I was looking at this, "We all we got, we all we need," and it was a word change, and they, "We all we got, we all we need," and it's huge what I hear happening here. It's not going to go, "We've got our arms with each other, we're getting ready to, in the next couple of hours, face whatever it is we have to face, we're not going to put on any better than this." But we're doing to each other, we're lifting each other up, we're getting each other ready for the next day. He's all we got, He's all we need. Take it, WBC. Yeah, Mark, great illustration. He's all we got, but He's all we need. And so that's the sufficiency of Jesus. And you're right. We have each other. That's enough. And that is what gets us through the day. So appreciate that illustration, Mark. Well said. Okay, we're going to stop right there. We are out of time. We need to close in prayer. Are there any final prayer requests before Scott, N7, NTA leads us in prayer? Please come down with your request. Zedekson. Zedekson, come ahead. Yeah, as we speak here, and maybe included, if you'd lift up today, John Meyer, he's a brother from church. He's having a conversation our affabulation and watch the procedure done on his heart this morning. And if you would just keep him in prayers for a successful outcome of the procedure of the surgery and the recovery there, it would be much appreciated there. I give you seven zed exam. Kevin, thank you for that. That's Sean Mayer. Has a heart procedure. We're going to pray for him today. All right, any other requests, please? I will send their requests. Okay, Will, QX, go ahead. Okay, it's John Meyer, and she also included his wife in that because she's been having some issues too concerning their transportation. So I included Bonnie in that prayer grade, but she came by then. Alright, well thank you for that. So we're praying for John Meyer and his heart procedure, also for John's wife Bonnie. And let's just pray that through this crisis they will draw together and their relationship will be strengthened. So thank you for that, I will. Any other prayer requests come down? Alright Scott, N7NPA, please go ahead and close in prayer for us. I'm having issues this morning. I got too much snow on my wire. So we got to drop our power back. So bear with me here. As we gather around the table, what comes to mind, Father, is those that stand in the shadow, the silent multitude. Father, I just pray that their ears and hearts were open, listening to the heart of the gospel. As we zero down on what it means to be a Christ child, that receiving you into our hearts, that this is not happenstance, that this was written, and Father, as you rose from the grave and then returned to walk amongst. hundreds of men, all documented, all seen. Father, we just thank you that we had the opportunity to sit today together on the table and take ground zero of the heart of the gospel. This the certainty of the resurrection unfolding in Scripture as it will. So, Father, I pray for those that stop by, those that are in high seat, in the leisure, just listening, inhaling all what's coming through their ears. Father, I just pray that that will work on their hearts. Father, we all want to lift up Al to you this morning as he starts his procedure. Father, we just pray for wisdom for the doctors. We pray that what's going on there can be revealed or not be revealed if nothing's going on. And so, Father, we just turn Al's situation over to you. Father, we give you praise and glory that Patty comes through this surgery yesterday with flying colors. Father, all of us are dancing in the streets. And Father, it's with sadness we gather around Mike's family with the passing of Dale and how Barbara has already been on a rocky spiritual ground. Father, I just pray that in some way, somehow, some form, that you can rise up above the noise, and that she can seek your face, and she can go to a understanding of this is how it is that we live in a fallen world. *Rolling* but for those that believe that His life, that's what we read in the core of our reading today, that we have this hope. Father, we have a whole slate of issues. and uh I shoulder with my brother Darrell this morning as both of us have had prostate and urology issues. Father, I just know that I'm far from out of the woods. And I pray that you continue to give wisdom to the doctors. And Father, Darrell has this procedure. coming up here in less than seven days, six days from now, here next Monday. And I just pray that everything that's on his plate, Father, I just pray for peace. I pray for Stephanie's strength. I pray for wisdom for the doctors as they're working. starts down this path of this issue. Father, with a heart that is shaken, we lift up Zoe to you, and knowing that she's trying to find her way. Father, the last words that we got from Cody is that she's gone to live with her grandparents. Her rock. And Father, we give you the rejoicing... Father, I just pray that her grandparents, there could be an impact. Father, I pray for that family. Other children and grandchildren, great-grandchildren, Father, I just pray that they can seek your faith. that their eyes and hearts can be opened to hear the core message that was discussed today. Father, we want to lift up that Trevor to you. About a year ago, so Father, we went up to Bailey lifting Trevor up. and his face is shaken. And so, Father, I pray that Trevor could get his feet out of the quicksand and on solid ground. And, Father, I just pray that the cancer that he's experiencing, Father, that there could be intervention. Father, I just pray that Trevor lose focus. on the true meaning of the Christ child. Yes. And that can come back in a lot like a telescope on a rifle. And the crosshair, Father, is on you with the with the the empty case. Father, we are are I want to lift up our brother Keith to you as he continues to just persevere, doubles down and grits forward. Father, I just pray again for open doors to the medical situation. The walls that we have to face now that wasn't there decades ago. But God, I pray for each and every one of us here around the table now. I just pray for healing for his damaged biceps. I lift up Ronnie to you and personally understand the struggles that she's going through. Father, I just pray that both of us can have a blessed day today. Father, I'm going to share sometimes with my brother Bert in this ensemble. Yes. You know, Ben up and down tonight, up and down, up and down, dealing with a different issue. And I give that banner to Bert this morning, Father, and I just ask that you give him the rest that he needs. Father, we give you praise. All right, we give you praise for Patty with Danny and Drew. I'll be missing her. multiple trials. Father, it was so good to hear Mike this morning. I struggled to be over the camera lane. It's almost like we're in an emergency lane with the floorways on. I just have to ask that Mike's vaccine that he's having, and this temporal arthritis has returned. My name is Clayton for healing. Father, each and every one of us can just get a fresh breath of fresh air as we watch Mike trudge forward, waist deep in the quagmire of life, a lot like hiking through the snow. And he refuses, he refuses to lay down and he picks up and sees you working and moving and he continually gives you glory. Father, we want to lift up Pastor Doug. passed away and we prayed for his wife Betty and we just asked for her to continue instead of humor and we just prayed that she has the encouragement that she needs to put it here. Father, as we call on God to get us missionaries this morning, Father, there's missionaries across the big waters. There's missionaries across. government salaries, those missionaries across the state. Father, I get the opportunity to meet with each and every one of the missionaries. And those that seek your faith. Father, I want to lift up John Mayer to you this morning. He's going through this part of the mission, this procedure. And also, Bonnie, it's easy to be on pins and needles. So I just ask for a comfort for Bonnie, and I pray for a successful procedure this morning. Father, this is what's on our hearts this morning, Father. We recognize that the power of Christ is working. The anger that we hang out over the table, that all of us can look at and put in our hearts, is He all we got, He all we need. Praise His name through Jesus and all of His name. Amen. Back to you, Matt. WB-7MAX, 7MPA. Scott, thank you so much for that prayer. I really appreciate you bringing us to the throne of grace. This is WB-7MAX, that controls the West Coast Bible Study. I want to thank all the stations that checked in this morning, as well as those that stood by to give us a clear operating frequency. We meet here seven days a week at 6 a.m. in order to read the scriptures. understand their meaning message and application, and then pray for grace and mercy to live out what we learn and for God to meet the needs of those that are in our circle of fellowship. I'll be returning this frequency now to regular amateur use. This is WB7MAX. I'll be clear and standing by. 5-E-G. 5-E-G. Okay, we had a double there. We'll go 5 Yankee first and then TDI. Go ahead, 5 Yankee. If April showers bring May flowers, what do May flowers bring? If April showers bring May flowers, what do May flowers bring? I don't have a clue. Go ahead. I know, I know. Pingrooms. Okay, somebody said they know. Go ahead, station. I was gonna say, they bring your furniture. Uh, they bring, uh, what? Go ahead. They bring your furniture. The moving truck. The Mayflower truck. Oh. They bring furniture. Is that the answer, Beck? No, but that's better than the one I've got. Pilgrims. Oh, yeah, that's cool. Oh yeah, yeah, those both work, Steve, that was a good one, and Beck, that's a good one too, so real good, thank you for that. Alright, David, KK7TD, I go ahead. Yeah, I just wanted to say thank you again for everything today. Great man, he runs a chapter 15 today, and going through that, the resurrection, he is still very powerful. And again, that's where our hope lies. If there's no resurrection, there's no hope. And our walk is in vain. It's for nothing if we don't have Christ and if He didn't rise from the dead. And I thought, Selena, it was articulated by yourself and many others. I like Will's comments this morning as well, Kevin, and everyone. It was really good. And Mark, PBC, he had a very good comment there as well. Just appreciate it and glad to be part of it. And looking forward to my station here getting much better so I can hear much better. As I did today, even with all the noise, I was able to hear much better. So thanks so much, and 73, and we'll be talking with you tomorrow. Lord willing, and the creek or the snow doesn't rise too high. 73. All right, David, KK7PDI, thanks for that. And, yeah, great study today and great encouragement. He's all we got, but he's all we need. I love that statement. All right, real good, David. 73 to you. Have a great day. And you and Esther, we'll see you tomorrow morning. All right, so WB7MX, clearance, standing by. Can't find it. Will, QMW 5 Fox, go ahead. Yeah, everybody may want to check their VOX. Somebody had their VOX on this morning. So I'm getting there, coming through real good here. Can't find it. Thank you, Will. Okay, Will's comment, if somebody had their VOX, which is the voice-activated microphone on today, I am just looking at mine here to see if I'm the guilty party. No, my VOX is off. So if anybody might check their VOX and see if they accidentally turned that on because if you have it on, when you say something it comes right through even if you don't intend to. Will, QMX by Foxtrot, thanks for the comment. Alright, WB7MX is standing by. Yeah, and when you roll your chair or you cough or there's some other background noise, they get picked up. Okay, inside that. Contact. Yeah, we'll copy that. Thanks. Contact. Contact. Go ahead. Um, uh, work. Alpha Alpha 5 Yankee, are you there? That's right, I got you. Okay, I need you to check your email, okay? Okay. Yeah, okay, great. I'll look at that. Thank you. Roger. Alpha Alpha 5 Yankees. Stand by. KJ7PVT, man. KJ7PVT, go ahead, Mark. Yes, I wanted to just briefly let you know that our church has two centers. ...one for men and one for women, that we move through this. This is all supported by the church. There's two separate facilities for people that are out of predediction or out of the Lord's presence. ... I'm going to send this out to him and some guys that are not just sitting here watching the State Forest and Edmond, that's where it is, but I can see people in from anywhere, so I'm kind of dropping this off to you. I'm just, if you know of somebody that you've bumped into someone on the street, um recovery. Yeah, thanks for that, Mark. What a wonderful ministry. And if I know of someone who needs that kind of ministry and care, I will certainly refer them up there and even help them get there. So Mark, thank you for telling us about that ministry. And what a blessing that is. What a manifestation of the love of Jesus. So thanks for letting us know about that, Mark. Back to you. Okay, yeah, I'm going to go stand out there. I'm going to meet with these folks. We can go into the week and I will let them know that I'm starting to work things out. I can't guarantee what's going to happen, but I know... ... Yeah, Mark, really good. I'm so excited to hear that. You know, what you're witnessing there are spiritual resurrections. You know, people whose lives are an absolute shipwreck smashed on the rocks. And, you know, the Christians take them in, love them, and they're going to be able to come back and be happy. And, you know, I'm so excited to hear that. I'm so excited to hear that. I'm so excited to hear that. I'm so excited to hear that. I'm so excited to hear that. I'm so excited to hear that. I'm so excited to hear that. I'm so excited to hear that. And I'm so excited to hear that. So excited to hear that. I'm so excited to hear that. I'm so excited to hear that. And, you know, I'm so excited to hear that They understand here and embrace the gospel, get their lives turned around, and then they're able to go out and help others. That is marvelous. What a great report, and what a great ministry. And so if anybody knows some men in particular who need that kind of ministry, hook up with Mark and get them involved in this program. And Mark, I appreciate you letting us know about that resource. That is so helpful because, you know, oftentimes you run into these people, we don't know what to do with them, and we don't know how to help them because we just don't have the resources or the capability. And to have a ministry that's dedicated to that is just marvelous. And I remember that there was a ministry like that in Lebanon. It was an offshoot of Dave Wilkerson's ministry, and I'm trying to remember the name of it. It doesn't come to me right now, but in any event, they lost their building. I don't know where they went. But, yeah, what a wonderful ministry, because that's a vast need for sure. Back to you there, Mark. Alright Mark, real good, KJ7PVT73, thanks for that Alright, WB7MX, we're standing by and ready to talk to whoever wants to talk to you, come in Flight WB7MX, clearing QRT, I'll see you all tomorrow. God bless. God bless you, Pastor Mike. All right, Jim, N7BK, God bless you, too. Love you, brother. Appreciate you being here, and you have a great day. We'll see you in the morning, Jim. 730, WB70, Max. Yeah, 730, N7BK. Thank you. Thanks for watching! *train noise* . ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪
