To be part of preparing the wife of the king. Psychiatrist I told miss it just a little bit. But actually there's a bit of Hope. Enough for us to be something that brings out what I was I was talking about. Now this morning with the Holy Sepulchre to see two people make deacons just like you must don't want from your relatives reaching us up and we walked here to see these two people my deacons and in the in the service in the Church of England in the olden days when you get the Kings enough to announce the task of the deacons in the church.
Text you the whole world is ready for his coming and I do this by proclaiming the good news of Jesus Christ by extending the worship out into the world Beyond the Wall is not just to be here or Sunday during the week when the king comes inside the kingdom and not outside.
And what's interesting about last night is when we look at people who are deacons in the church or people who think out of the church for a long time now and we read this passage is terrible Pharisees will my pool with these house they got right and I missed the story of the story all the peoples of the world coming to worship.
