It is a tremendous honor for me to be here with you this evening as you graduate from high school. I praise the Lord for the good report I have heard of your faith, hope, love, and commitment to his kingdom. The Lord is going to continue his good work in you, and I fully expect he will defeat his enemies and build his Church through your courage. and dedication. May the Lord bless and keep you now and forever as you seek first his kingdom and righteousness.
