0:03:38.680 --> 0:03:48.480
<v Speaker 1>at koub, Johannon, Deliah, and Anani seven. Let's pray, Lord,

0:03:48.480 --> 0:03:50.160
<v Speaker 1>we thank you for your word, and we thank you

0:03:50.200 --> 0:03:53.080
<v Speaker 1>for the privilege to look at it today. And Lord,

0:03:53.080 --> 0:03:55.280
<v Speaker 1>as we look at this portion of scripture, we see

0:03:55.320 --> 0:03:58.640
<v Speaker 1>that in a family tree, there are those who love

0:03:58.680 --> 0:04:01.800
<v Speaker 1>you and serve you and honor you, and there are

0:04:01.840 --> 0:04:06.200
<v Speaker 1>those who reject you. At least in these cases. We know,

0:04:06.280 --> 0:04:09.040
<v Speaker 1>Lord that many of these names that are listed are

0:04:09.080 --> 0:04:13.640
<v Speaker 1>men who later became kings, and they descended from David.

0:04:13.920 --> 0:04:16.440
<v Speaker 1>But many of them did not walk in the same

0:04:16.480 --> 0:04:20.880
<v Speaker 1>ways that David did. We know Lord that David loved you,

0:04:21.320 --> 0:04:23.560
<v Speaker 1>he trusted you. You refer to him as a man

0:04:23.640 --> 0:04:26.839
<v Speaker 1>after your own heart, and he serves as a picture

0:04:26.920 --> 0:04:30.520
<v Speaker 1>of the Messiah. And it's through his line that the

0:04:30.560 --> 0:04:34.839
<v Speaker 1>Messiah Jesus Christ came. Lord, we're grateful for the salvation

0:04:35.120 --> 0:04:38.040
<v Speaker 1>and new life we have through your son, Jesus Christ.

0:04:38.160 --> 0:04:40.359
<v Speaker 1>And we pray Lord that by your grace that we

0:04:40.360 --> 0:04:43.200
<v Speaker 1>would be people who honor you, and that the children

0:04:43.240 --> 0:04:46.039
<v Speaker 1>that you bless us with would also honor you as well,

0:04:46.320 --> 0:04:48.760
<v Speaker 1>that the example that we set for them of what

0:04:48.800 --> 0:04:51.960
<v Speaker 1>it means to walk by faith in Jesus Christ would

0:04:52.000 --> 0:04:54.960
<v Speaker 1>be something that they choose to value and live out.

0:04:55.480 --> 0:04:58.120
<v Speaker 1>But we know Lord that that can ultimately only happen

0:04:58.400 --> 0:05:01.120
<v Speaker 1>if they're enabled to do so by your power, and

0:05:01.160 --> 0:05:03.520
<v Speaker 1>if you create the desire and their hearts and their

0:05:03.600 --> 0:05:06.440
<v Speaker 1>minds to follow you. And so Lord, we commit our

0:05:06.520 --> 0:05:09.040
<v Speaker 1>children to you. We pray that, by your grace that

0:05:09.040 --> 0:05:11.440
<v Speaker 1>that would be the case. And we thank you, Lord

0:05:11.480 --> 0:05:14.000
<v Speaker 1>for your love for us. We thank you for your

0:05:14.000 --> 0:05:19.120
<v Speaker 1>presence with us today, and we pray this all in Jesus' name. Amen.
