Introduction

Good morning, beloved family of God! It's a joy to gather with you today as we stand on the precipice of a new revelation, a new understanding, and a new appreciation of the Word of God. We are here, not simply to hear, but to be transformed by the truth that God has for us today. It's not a mere academic exercise, but a life-changing encounter with the divine.
