• 20:00 - 20:30 prayer is the key to bring God's redempted people together to fulfill his Redemptive work because in the dependence of God above prayer when we stand by faith in prayer God works his mighty words we see the might of God we meditate on his mighty deeds and he says he will make known his might among the people one of the things I encourage the church to do I serve as a senior pastor for 25
• 20:30 - 21:00 years before I transit in leadership over the last 12 years and one of things I encourage the congregation to do is to share their testimonies because testimonies will fail we are a redeemed Community God doesn't play favorites he comes to bless us with his goodness and his greatness and it is a wonderful thing when the people of God rise up to me things

• 23:30 - 24:00 the glory of God how does the zombies put this well we talk about celebrating God's goodness and the personhood of God and the greatness of God and then he made a profound statement in verse 19. in verse 19 he says your way was through the sea your paths through the Great Waters get your Footprints were unseen damn it your Footprints were unseen
• 24:00 - 24:30 theologians call this the divine divineness God isn't it your Footprints are unseen it's a celebration of the Divine mystery of God you see in theology they are primarily two categories of theology there's cosmetic Theology and hypomatic theology put it in simple terms catalpatic theology is Western theology
• 24:30 - 25:00 that celebrates what we know about God so he starts with the Divine attributes the communicable attributes the incommunical attributes these are the propositional theological statements of what we know about God theology but there's another School of Theology or branch of theology that celebrates the mystery of God what we don't know about God
• 25:00 - 25:30 and that's hypomatic theology he is mysterious his ways are Beyond understanding his ways are wise and infinite and glorious we celebrate the Wonder and the Mystery of this is what the Salvation does he celebrates the mystery of God by going back to an Old Testament picture of God's power the Deliverance at the Red Sea in the Old Testament
• 25:30 - 26:00 whenever the Old Testament prophets of poiers want to declare to the the power of God very often they happen back to the imagery of the Deliverance of Moses and the Red Sea and now he used the same imagery of Deliverance of the Egyptian bondage and he says as you pass through the Red Sea as the waters are divided we see that the footprints of God they
• 26:00 - 26:30 are invisible they are unseen the Divine hiddenness the Divine mystery but this is the principle we must capture the Theology of divine weirdness is celebrated on the full canvas of divine faithfulness but in simple terms while God's Footprints are unseen his faithfulness is evident
• 26:30 - 27:00 and his faithfulness is glorious and so now they celebrate as it were of the the glory of God that he brings forth his mighty Deliverance he answers and he provides and hearing must be true of our pilgrimage and discipleship the goodness of God the greatness of his mind and the glory of the mystery and the provision of God almighty listen it

• 27:30 - 28:00 we enter actually in his love and we celebrate his calling and we stand confident of his redemption in Christ Jesus our lord you see at the end of the day is a simple gospel but a profound one that the church proclaims in the name of Jesus the Bible tells us all of us are silly comes short on the glory of God everyone but the Bible says God rather so much he
• 28:00 - 28:30 sent his son to die on the cross for our sins that believing in Jesus alone for our Salvation we are saved by the goodness of God the power and greatness of God and the glory and Majesty of the one who redeems us in Christ Jesus by his sacrifice on the cross and by that sacrifice he comes to us Embraces us and say you are mine I have loved you with an everlasting love
