those of my own race. Ro.9:3

G. Conclusion: 1. Joshua put it this way! Josh.24:15
But if serving the Lord seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve,
whether the gods your forefathers served beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you
are living. But as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord.
2. Apostle Paul put it this way: Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Phil.4:4
May the Lord bless you and keep you always! Preach this March 15, 2020.
