THIRSTY 186

Welcome to this week's episode of our THIRSTY podcast. I am Pastor Michael Zarling.

And I'm Pastor Nathan Klusmeyer.

It's, it's good to have you back, Nathan. It was fun doing it with Shelly, but she was ripping on me too much, so it's good to have you back.

Um, well, it's good. You need that-

It's-

... in your life

Yeah, she was pretty proud of herself, and she rightly should be. Uh, and, uh, I made sure to unplug the answering machine, 'cause it went off twice last time- ... while I was, while we were recording. And I can't do anything with it once it's going off. Uh, so we're on the theme of identity revealed, Jesus calls you blessed. And the interesting thing is the earlier Epiphany, uh, Sundays on I- identity revealed, they were a revealing the identity of Jesus. Now it switches, so now because we are connected to Jesus, we've been blessed through the Holy Spirit to see his identity as the Christ and the Lamb and the Messiah. Now we are able to then, uh, be, find out our identity as followers. So we see that Jesus calls you blessed. So Nathan, the hymns that we're singing here are Praise the Almighty, my soul, adore Him, I am Trusting You, Lord Jesus, Lord, Take My Hand and Lead Me, and Blessed Are They.

Yeah, the only one I have different there is, uh, we are singing Afflicted Saint to Christ drawn Here.

Ah, that's a good one from the hymnal.

Yes.

Yeah, it's a new hymnal.

Yep.
