This series is on "The Lord's Prayer," which is found in Matthew 6:9-13, as part of the instructions of Jesus in His "Sermon on the Mount." We plan to spend several weeks on this wonderful, powerful text, which is so important to ALL followers of Jesus and memorized by many believers. Our special guest this week is Casey Champion, our next community leader that we are welcoming to the podcast microphone. Casey is a Funeral Director with the Gentry, Newell, and Vaughan Funeral Home here in Oxford, and she shares with us a bit about her own personal faith and her service to and with families in their times of grief.

In our podcast episode this week, we are examining Psalm 23:3, and our theme is "The Righteousness of God." We spend some time considering that Righteousness is a gift of grace, and that "we are not saved because we are righteous, but we are righteous because we are saved." In other words, God's blesses us with his gift of his righteousness and uses us as vessels through whom God shares his righteousness with the rest of creation. We pray this will be true in all of our lives. Our special guest this week is Rev. Perry Brindley, the Associational Missions Strategist with the Buncombe Baptist Association in my hometown of Asheville, North Carolina. We hope you are blessed by our episode this week. Amen.
