All right, take your Bibles and turn to 1st Peter, Chapter 4. 1st Peter, Chapter 4. Let me thank you for being here tonight. Lots of great things as you're finding your place in 1st Peter Chapter four, verse seven.
Our interns are on their way, so be praying for them. I'll tell you more about one of them tonight - who's driving seven days, 12 hours a day, just to get here and serve this summer.
