Let's just sing that together.
Turn your eyes upon Jesus.
Let's sing that through one more time together.
Amen.
Please be seated.
People ask me if I had many opportunities
to preach before, and I said, no.
As a matter of fact, I had only
preached on one occasion, and that was in
a prison.
I was led, me and another man, to
this penitentiary, and we were led to this
room where 50 convicts were.
And then the guard left and left us
in there.
Along with the convicts, I was preaching out
of Sound 40.
I was literally in the armpit of this
prison preaching on the pit, the Monterey Clay.
And I can tell you, I looked at
those rapists and thieves and murderers, and I
must confess to you, I was as nervous
with that group then as I am with
this group today.
But, well, let's get down to business.
Our text can be found today in the
Gospel of Luke, chapter 10.
