1 00:00:00,050 --> 00:00:04,790 Marcel Hall: We're gonna continue in the sermon series called The Lord's Favor, 2 00:00:05,540 --> 00:00:09,830 and we have a theme scripture that's guiding in the basis for our series. 3 00:00:09,830 --> 00:00:12,860 It's Luke chapter four, in Jesus, he unroll the scrolls. 4 00:00:12,860 --> 00:00:13,729 He's in the synagogue. 5 00:00:13,729 --> 00:00:17,810 He's in his worship service, and he reveals that he is the Messiah, that he 6 00:00:17,810 --> 00:00:20,030 is the one who's bringing God's favor. 7 00:00:20,030 --> 00:00:23,810 And it says in Luke four, verse 18, he quotes a verse in Isaiah. 8 00:00:24,080 --> 00:00:27,320 And it says, the spirit of the Lord is on me because he has anointed me 9 00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:29,390 to proclaim good news to the poor. 10 00:00:31,010 --> 00:00:34,910 He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for 11 00:00:34,910 --> 00:00:40,609 the blind, to set the oppressed free to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor. 12 00:00:41,059 --> 00:00:44,510 And again, Jesus embodies and brings this to the world. 13 00:00:44,824 --> 00:00:48,529 And, and last week, uh, Daniel did a great job of preaching and 14 00:00:48,529 --> 00:00:53,269 reminding us we need to first have a reset in our relationship with God. 15 00:00:54,394 --> 00:00:58,505 Today we're gonna be talking about a relational reset as we need to have 16 00:00:59,105 --> 00:01:03,275 a re a reset with people as well. 17 00:01:03,574 --> 00:01:04,715 Let's go to God in prayer. 18 00:01:04,715 --> 00:01:06,365 Father, thank you so much for your word. 19 00:01:06,365 --> 00:01:09,095 I'm excited about what your word has been teaching me. 20 00:01:09,095 --> 00:01:12,815 I'm excited about the season that we are in and all the 21 00:01:12,815 --> 00:01:16,414 opportunities we had to grow closer to you, but to join you in your. 22 00:01:16,825 --> 00:01:17,455 Good work. 23 00:01:17,455 --> 00:01:21,505 God, we pray right now that your word speaks clearly that you articulate your 24 00:01:21,505 --> 00:01:25,465 message that you have for us collectively, but also we can receive the message 25 00:01:25,465 --> 00:01:27,115 that you have for us individually. 26 00:01:27,295 --> 00:01:29,664 We pray in Jesus name, amen. 27 00:01:31,164 --> 00:01:34,914 First thing we need to remember is that God is relational. 28 00:01:36,805 --> 00:01:39,445 Our God is a relational God. 29 00:01:40,285 --> 00:01:43,825 That means Christianity is relational. 30 00:01:44,735 --> 00:01:47,795 Because Christianity is about a relationship with God and 31 00:01:47,795 --> 00:01:49,775 a relationship with others. 32 00:01:50,615 --> 00:01:55,414 And we get reminded of this in Matthew 22, in verse 36, where 33 00:01:55,414 --> 00:01:59,405 Jesus is asked a question and they're asking him a question. 34 00:01:59,405 --> 00:02:02,945 What is the greatest commandment in the law? 35 00:02:02,945 --> 00:02:08,764 What's the number one thing that God Almighty wants from his creation? 36 00:02:09,005 --> 00:02:12,305 And let's read it here in Matthew 22, verse 36. 37 00:02:12,305 --> 00:02:13,865 Church, are you still with me here? 38 00:02:14,345 --> 00:02:15,605 Alright, don't get quiet on me. 39 00:02:15,605 --> 00:02:18,725 Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the law. 40 00:02:18,755 --> 00:02:23,375 Jesus replied, love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all 41 00:02:23,375 --> 00:02:26,585 your soul and with all your mind. 42 00:02:26,825 --> 00:02:28,954 This is the first and greatest commandment. 43 00:02:30,185 --> 00:02:31,475 And the second is like it. 44 00:02:31,475 --> 00:02:33,335 Love your neighbor as yourself. 45 00:02:33,335 --> 00:02:37,655 All the law and the prophets, hang on these two commandments. 46 00:02:38,045 --> 00:02:41,555 Jesus says, Hey, this whole thing is about relationships. 47 00:02:42,515 --> 00:02:47,015 A relationship with the father and a relationship with those around you. 48 00:02:47,855 --> 00:02:50,855 And love implies relationship. 49 00:02:51,485 --> 00:02:54,395 And he says it's interesting because they just ask him for number one, but he 50 00:02:54,395 --> 00:02:58,535 says, I'm gonna drop some more knowledge on you so that you don't get it twisted. 51 00:02:59,165 --> 00:03:02,735 Yes, you are called to love God, but you're also called to love human 52 00:03:02,735 --> 00:03:07,025 beings because some of us wanna be like, I can do the God thing, I just 53 00:03:07,025 --> 00:03:08,075 don't wanna do the people thing. 54 00:03:09,095 --> 00:03:11,255 I love God, but I can't stand people. 55 00:03:12,395 --> 00:03:13,775 And Jesus said, no, no, no, no, no, no. 56 00:03:13,775 --> 00:03:15,845 This thing is connected. 57 00:03:16,085 --> 00:03:17,255 It's not separate. 58 00:03:17,255 --> 00:03:19,085 You can't separate the two. 59 00:03:19,204 --> 00:03:20,915 It's kind of like my glasses here. 60 00:03:21,545 --> 00:03:25,445 And so these glasses, loving God is the lens and loving people is the F frame. 61 00:03:25,535 --> 00:03:26,704 They go together. 62 00:03:27,394 --> 00:03:30,215 If I'm missing one, then it's incomplete and my sight is off and 63 00:03:30,215 --> 00:03:31,505 I can't tell who's in front of me. 64 00:03:32,765 --> 00:03:35,495 And so we need to love God and love people. 65 00:03:35,495 --> 00:03:36,575 They are together. 66 00:03:36,575 --> 00:03:37,415 They're not separate. 67 00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:40,670 It's a relationship with the father in heaven, and it's a 68 00:03:40,670 --> 00:03:43,760 relationship with those around us. 69 00:03:44,030 --> 00:03:47,960 And so after a reset with God, as we talked about last week, we 70 00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:50,270 must have a reset with people. 71 00:03:51,170 --> 00:03:54,980 We must have a reset in our relationships again. 72 00:03:54,980 --> 00:03:57,470 'cause God wants our relationships with people to be aligned 73 00:03:57,470 --> 00:04:01,190 to his will and his design. 74 00:04:02,090 --> 00:04:04,820 And so a relational reset. 75 00:04:05,375 --> 00:04:14,195 Means seeing people as God sees them and then loving them as God calls us to, if 76 00:04:14,195 --> 00:04:18,365 we're gonna have a reset, a relational reset, it means we need to start seeing 77 00:04:18,365 --> 00:04:23,825 people the way God sees them, and then start loving them the way God calls us to. 78 00:04:24,485 --> 00:04:30,605 And a reset, a relational reset starts with perspective. 79 00:04:32,630 --> 00:04:33,500 I appreciate Kenny. 80 00:04:33,500 --> 00:04:37,790 Earlier he talked about what his perspective about himself. 81 00:04:38,330 --> 00:04:41,780 When his perspective is off, it leads down a bad path. 82 00:04:42,170 --> 00:04:46,520 But when God enters his hearts and his faith, it changes his what 83 00:04:46,580 --> 00:04:51,440 His perspective, which changes his feelings, which changes his behavior. 84 00:04:51,860 --> 00:04:55,040 And I appreciate my wife because many years we were just talking 85 00:04:55,040 --> 00:05:00,320 and she says, you know, it's all about perspective, and it's so true. 86 00:05:01,955 --> 00:05:04,924 Our perspective about people is vital. 87 00:05:05,284 --> 00:05:09,305 So let me ask you this question, take a second and answer 88 00:05:09,305 --> 00:05:10,505 this question for yourself. 89 00:05:11,765 --> 00:05:13,655 How do you view people? 90 00:05:16,955 --> 00:05:18,215 How do you view people? 91 00:05:19,025 --> 00:05:24,875 Some of you're like, it depends which people, how do you view people or people? 92 00:05:25,055 --> 00:05:27,155 Something that you have to deal with. 93 00:05:27,245 --> 00:05:28,265 Gotta deal with people or. 94 00:05:30,140 --> 00:05:37,700 I get a chance to engage with, are people an object that serve you or is 95 00:05:37,700 --> 00:05:40,640 it an opportunity for mutual blessing? 96 00:05:42,110 --> 00:05:48,170 Are people for here for your enjoyments or are they here so you can enjoy life with? 97 00:05:50,810 --> 00:05:53,390 How do you view people? 98 00:05:54,695 --> 00:05:58,595 See, this is so important because here's the thing, your view of people 99 00:05:58,655 --> 00:06:00,575 determines your treatment of people. 100 00:06:02,585 --> 00:06:07,475 Your view of people determines your treatment of people. 101 00:06:07,715 --> 00:06:08,465 Think about this. 102 00:06:08,465 --> 00:06:13,145 If you view somebody as special, how do you treat that person special? 103 00:06:13,865 --> 00:06:16,955 If you view somebody as, Hmm, I can't stand that person. 104 00:06:17,105 --> 00:06:18,365 What are you tempted to do? 105 00:06:20,105 --> 00:06:21,905 Do something that you shouldn't be doing, right? 106 00:06:23,075 --> 00:06:27,425 So your view of people determines how you treat people. 107 00:06:27,425 --> 00:06:31,565 So we have to ask ourselves if I'm gonna love God and I'm gonna love people, I 108 00:06:31,565 --> 00:06:33,305 gotta understand how do I view people? 109 00:06:34,085 --> 00:06:37,985 'cause I can't love people if I don't have the right view of people. 110 00:06:38,675 --> 00:06:40,205 Brother and sisters, are you with me here? 111 00:06:40,985 --> 00:06:45,545 And so we need to see people and here's the opportunity that God, God is so cool, 112 00:06:45,755 --> 00:06:50,795 but God shows us how he views us, and then he calls us to have the same view. 113 00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:52,610 So let's go real old school. 114 00:06:52,610 --> 00:06:54,230 Okay, we're gonna go to Genesis chapter one. 115 00:06:54,230 --> 00:06:56,720 We're gonna go to where it all started here real quickly. 116 00:06:56,750 --> 00:06:59,450 And I usually like to look at one passage and go through it, but we're 117 00:06:59,450 --> 00:07:02,600 gonna look at several passages here, so make sure you have your notes out 118 00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:04,430 so you can take uh, uh, notes here. 119 00:07:04,550 --> 00:07:07,820 But in Genesis chapter one, we are reminded that every 120 00:07:07,820 --> 00:07:09,950 creation is an image bearer. 121 00:07:11,570 --> 00:07:19,100 Every creation, every person, every human being is an image bearer of God. 122 00:07:20,210 --> 00:07:21,050 What do we mean? 123 00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:23,390 Genesis chapter one, verse 27. 124 00:07:23,719 --> 00:07:25,250 This is the creation story. 125 00:07:25,250 --> 00:07:30,650 It says, so God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God. 126 00:07:30,650 --> 00:07:33,500 He created them, male and female. 127 00:07:33,950 --> 00:07:35,840 He created them. 128 00:07:36,770 --> 00:07:40,280 God created us in his image. 129 00:07:40,970 --> 00:07:45,440 The Apostle James, who, uh, was a a was the brother of Jesus. 130 00:07:45,620 --> 00:07:49,040 He's actually talking about in his letter to the churches, he 131 00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:50,780 starts talking about this idea. 132 00:07:50,780 --> 00:07:54,170 We gotta watch our language, but he says something really cool that 133 00:07:54,170 --> 00:07:59,180 ties in and reminds all of us of how we should treat people, because we 134 00:07:59,180 --> 00:08:00,560 have to have the right view of them. 135 00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:04,280 And he says this in James chapter three, verse nine, with the tongue, 136 00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:05,960 we praise our Lord and Father. 137 00:08:06,380 --> 00:08:08,390 And with it, we curse human beings. 138 00:08:09,515 --> 00:08:12,785 Who have been made in God's likeness. 139 00:08:13,895 --> 00:08:18,035 How in the world can we praise God, but yet curse human beings 140 00:08:18,035 --> 00:08:20,405 when they're made in God's image? 141 00:08:21,035 --> 00:08:26,375 So there's a reminder here for you and for me, that we are made in the 142 00:08:26,375 --> 00:08:31,625 image of God, and to be made in God's image means we are reflections of God. 143 00:08:33,725 --> 00:08:38,195 So every human being is a reflection of God Almighty. 144 00:08:39,034 --> 00:08:41,465 And so I have here, uh, where, where do they go? 145 00:08:41,465 --> 00:08:41,735 Here? 146 00:08:41,945 --> 00:08:44,075 I'm old school for today, but I got a coin. 147 00:08:44,075 --> 00:08:45,065 You remember these things. 148 00:08:46,505 --> 00:08:47,585 Remember we used to actually use this. 149 00:08:47,585 --> 00:08:49,305 Sometimes you could actually buy something back in the day. 150 00:08:49,820 --> 00:08:51,920 I used to get some candy with a quarter, you know what I'm saying? 151 00:08:52,100 --> 00:08:52,550 A quarter. 152 00:08:52,550 --> 00:08:54,170 They looking at me like, where's the other dollar? 153 00:08:54,170 --> 00:08:55,700 I'm like, man, this Wrigley's gum. 154 00:08:55,700 --> 00:08:56,210 What happened? 155 00:08:56,210 --> 00:08:56,540 You know? 156 00:08:56,870 --> 00:08:57,590 So anyhow, sorry. 157 00:08:57,620 --> 00:08:59,090 All right, so here's a coin. 158 00:08:59,090 --> 00:09:00,350 It's uh, George Washington. 159 00:09:00,350 --> 00:09:01,640 I got a 25 cents. 160 00:09:01,850 --> 00:09:02,900 It's a coin on there. 161 00:09:03,110 --> 00:09:03,980 Whose image on there? 162 00:09:03,980 --> 00:09:04,910 It is George Washington. 163 00:09:05,420 --> 00:09:06,440 We know who it belongs to. 164 00:09:06,860 --> 00:09:10,520 Now here's the thing, in the same way, just like this coin, people 165 00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:12,350 have God's image stamped on them. 166 00:09:13,490 --> 00:09:16,430 Meaning that we all belong to God. 167 00:09:17,150 --> 00:09:19,400 We all are image bearers. 168 00:09:19,820 --> 00:09:25,400 Every person bears God's image, which means that every person is 169 00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:28,370 worthy of dignity and of value. 170 00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:35,420 Every person is of value and of dignity to God Almighty because they 171 00:09:35,420 --> 00:09:38,330 have God's image stamped on them. 172 00:09:38,330 --> 00:09:41,330 They are reflection of God. 173 00:09:42,860 --> 00:09:46,445 So whether it's the nice guy. 174 00:09:47,584 --> 00:09:53,285 Or the mean woman, or the nice woman and the mean guy, the the right winger 175 00:09:53,285 --> 00:10:00,694 or the left winger, the black, white, Hispanic, Asian, everything in between 176 00:10:00,755 --> 00:10:03,275 are all made in the image of God. 177 00:10:04,234 --> 00:10:08,915 And so every one of us has dignity and self-worth because 178 00:10:08,915 --> 00:10:11,165 we're worthy and valuable to God. 179 00:10:11,615 --> 00:10:13,265 But do we view each other like this? 180 00:10:15,455 --> 00:10:18,275 Now, many of us we know this, we know. 181 00:10:18,275 --> 00:10:18,875 Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. 182 00:10:18,935 --> 00:10:19,115 Ms. 183 00:10:19,115 --> 00:10:22,295 Bear, I maybe don't use that phrase that often, but we know this. 184 00:10:22,295 --> 00:10:23,165 But here's the thing. 185 00:10:23,375 --> 00:10:28,505 Many times we need what a reset in our view and say, here's 186 00:10:28,505 --> 00:10:29,705 what's really cool in Christ. 187 00:10:29,735 --> 00:10:34,805 'cause again, in Christ, we have every day, every opportunity to have a spiritual 188 00:10:34,805 --> 00:10:36,130 reset in our life and in our faith. 189 00:10:37,145 --> 00:10:39,875 And so we take it up as Second Corinthians chapter five. 190 00:10:40,085 --> 00:10:41,795 I wanna read a verse here real quickly. 191 00:10:41,915 --> 00:10:44,735 And he starts off by saying, we don't have a chance to read it all. 192 00:10:44,735 --> 00:10:48,574 But he starts off by saying, Hey, you know, Christ's love his, his death, 193 00:10:48,574 --> 00:10:52,775 his sacrifice, his resurrection, you know, that compels us to give our 194 00:10:52,775 --> 00:10:54,615 lives completely and holy to God. 195 00:10:55,205 --> 00:10:56,765 We don't live for ourselves anymore. 196 00:10:56,945 --> 00:10:59,255 We live for God. 197 00:10:59,405 --> 00:11:02,705 And right after he makes that statement, he says this to the Church of Corinth. 198 00:11:02,915 --> 00:11:07,415 So from now on, we regard no one from a worldly point of view. 199 00:11:09,425 --> 00:11:13,865 Though we once regarded Christ in this way, we do so no longer. 200 00:11:14,375 --> 00:11:17,075 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come. 201 00:11:17,225 --> 00:11:20,615 The old is gone and the new is here. 202 00:11:21,604 --> 00:11:26,615 And so he reveals that a relationship with God leads to a reset in how we see people. 203 00:11:27,935 --> 00:11:33,484 Before I knew God, I could view people in a very worldly way, but once I 204 00:11:33,484 --> 00:11:37,834 enter into a relationship with God, he now resets my view, not only of 205 00:11:37,834 --> 00:11:43,714 him, not only of myself, but of his creation, and I'll look at them as 206 00:11:46,145 --> 00:11:49,204 objects for my self. 207 00:11:49,985 --> 00:11:57,665 Fulfillment, but they're images of God, image bearers of the all mighty. 208 00:11:58,084 --> 00:12:03,395 You see, God can and wants to lead us to see people not as enemies, not 209 00:12:03,395 --> 00:12:10,145 as rivals, not as annoyances, not as objects for our use, but as image bearers 210 00:12:10,265 --> 00:12:11,630 and potential brothers and sisters. 211 00:12:14,045 --> 00:12:17,465 God doesn't want us to see people as objects for our enjoyment, 212 00:12:17,675 --> 00:12:22,505 but image bearers who can mutually bless one another, this 213 00:12:22,505 --> 00:12:24,815 isn't what you can do for me. 214 00:12:25,055 --> 00:12:29,075 This is, man, we get the opportunity to be a blessing to each other. 215 00:12:31,355 --> 00:12:32,825 Image bearers. 216 00:12:33,695 --> 00:12:41,225 Imagine if our whole world had this view of people, our society. 217 00:12:41,885 --> 00:12:44,045 California, orange County, the world. 218 00:12:44,045 --> 00:12:48,995 If everybody in the world, all 8 billion of us, if we all viewed people as image 219 00:12:48,995 --> 00:12:50,915 bearers of God, what would that be like? 220 00:12:52,955 --> 00:12:56,495 She always said, heaven on earth, it'd be slightly different than 221 00:12:56,495 --> 00:12:57,485 what we got going on right now. 222 00:12:57,485 --> 00:12:57,785 Right? 223 00:12:58,415 --> 00:13:00,245 The news would be a whole lot different. 224 00:13:00,605 --> 00:13:01,895 It probably would be boring. 225 00:13:02,795 --> 00:13:05,765 You'd be like, man, there ain't much to watch anymore except for 226 00:13:05,765 --> 00:13:07,085 this good deed or this good deed. 227 00:13:07,085 --> 00:13:07,865 You're like, all right, man. 228 00:13:07,870 --> 00:13:08,040 Here we go. 229 00:13:10,295 --> 00:13:11,885 Isn't that what our world needs right now? 230 00:13:12,875 --> 00:13:16,655 Don't we need a reset in our view, how we view each other? 231 00:13:17,225 --> 00:13:21,155 Because again, how we view each other determines how we treat each other. 232 00:13:22,805 --> 00:13:24,365 You guys with me, brothers and sisters? 233 00:13:25,295 --> 00:13:26,675 Now let's talk about this view here. 234 00:13:26,675 --> 00:13:27,635 Let's stay in this lane. 235 00:13:27,755 --> 00:13:31,505 Let's talk about how we view each other in this room. 236 00:13:32,735 --> 00:13:34,595 How do we view the church? 237 00:13:36,215 --> 00:13:36,875 Let me ask you this. 238 00:13:36,875 --> 00:13:38,285 How do you view people? 239 00:13:38,870 --> 00:13:40,490 How do you view those in the rows right now? 240 00:13:40,490 --> 00:13:44,690 How do you view those that are sitting next to you, those down the road from you? 241 00:13:45,530 --> 00:13:48,500 How do you view those in your ministry, your small group? 242 00:13:49,790 --> 00:13:52,160 Oh, that's good one said awesome. 243 00:13:53,030 --> 00:13:55,070 Give her an hour and she might say something else. 244 00:13:56,105 --> 00:14:00,500 How do you view your brothers and sisters? 245 00:14:00,500 --> 00:14:01,190 Let me ask you this. 246 00:14:01,190 --> 00:14:02,480 Are they church friends? 247 00:14:03,770 --> 00:14:05,870 Are they people from my church? 248 00:14:06,949 --> 00:14:08,930 Are they strangers? 249 00:14:09,829 --> 00:14:10,609 Stranger Danger. 250 00:14:10,609 --> 00:14:12,410 That's why we have some empty seats in between. 251 00:14:12,410 --> 00:14:13,400 I don't, can't sit next to you. 252 00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:16,880 Oh, maybe y'all took it negative. 253 00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:17,390 That's okay. 254 00:14:19,489 --> 00:14:22,370 Or do we view each other as family? 255 00:14:25,444 --> 00:14:28,130 How do you view the church? 256 00:14:28,969 --> 00:14:31,280 I know most of you know the right answer. 257 00:14:32,900 --> 00:14:34,310 We know the right answer. 258 00:14:35,810 --> 00:14:42,500 Is the answer congruent with our hearts, our faith, and our lives? 259 00:14:44,060 --> 00:14:48,230 You see, here's the great thing again, Jesus, he gives us an opportunity 260 00:14:48,230 --> 00:14:52,700 to reset our view, not only of the masses, not only of God's complete 261 00:14:52,700 --> 00:14:55,010 creation, but of God's people. 262 00:14:55,910 --> 00:14:58,935 We're gonna look here at a quick verse from Jesus, and he's, uh, 263 00:14:58,970 --> 00:15:00,200 he's running in his ministry. 264 00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:02,960 He's, he's teaching, he's preaching, he's doing these great things, 265 00:15:03,110 --> 00:15:05,090 and his family comes to visit him. 266 00:15:05,330 --> 00:15:06,350 They wanna talk to him. 267 00:15:06,350 --> 00:15:08,510 They wanna bring him outside and they want to talk to him. 268 00:15:08,570 --> 00:15:10,940 And we learned something really interesting here. 269 00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:13,760 Matthew 1246 Church, are you still with me here? 270 00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:16,670 Well, Jesus was still talking to the crowd. 271 00:15:16,670 --> 00:15:19,790 His mother and brother stood outside wanting to speak to him. 272 00:15:20,210 --> 00:15:22,730 Someone told him, your mother and brothers are standing outside 273 00:15:22,730 --> 00:15:23,380 wanting to speak with you. 274 00:15:23,900 --> 00:15:26,990 He replied to him, who is my mother and who are my brothers? 275 00:15:27,650 --> 00:15:30,200 Pointing to his disciples. 276 00:15:31,220 --> 00:15:34,400 He said, here are my mother and my brothers. 277 00:15:35,030 --> 00:15:38,120 For whoever does the will of my father in heaven is my 278 00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:40,610 brother and sister and mother. 279 00:15:41,510 --> 00:15:45,200 Jesus doesn't say, here are my church friends. 280 00:15:46,580 --> 00:15:50,300 Here are my fellow church goers. 281 00:15:50,450 --> 00:15:53,090 Here's my congregation. 282 00:15:54,199 --> 00:15:58,819 He says, here are my brothers and sisters. 283 00:15:59,180 --> 00:16:00,290 That was radical. 284 00:16:01,250 --> 00:16:01,880 They're like, what? 285 00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:02,810 Your mama's outside. 286 00:16:02,810 --> 00:16:03,620 I'm not your mama. 287 00:16:03,620 --> 00:16:04,430 He's like, yes, you are. 288 00:16:04,430 --> 00:16:05,360 If you do God's will. 289 00:16:06,949 --> 00:16:10,819 He says, this is my family. 290 00:16:12,125 --> 00:16:16,714 And that was radical because at that time your family nuclear unit was huge. 291 00:16:16,895 --> 00:16:20,104 And it wasn't just brothers and sisters as cousins and, and so that was a 292 00:16:20,104 --> 00:16:21,875 radical statement for him to make. 293 00:16:21,905 --> 00:16:25,025 Who with people who really weren't technically related to him. 294 00:16:25,805 --> 00:16:32,854 And it's still a radical statement today that spiritually you 295 00:16:33,275 --> 00:16:35,944 or my brother and my sister. 296 00:16:37,550 --> 00:16:41,360 Jesus' view was family and not friends from church. 297 00:16:41,900 --> 00:16:46,670 He was reframing for them, and he's reframing for us now how we are to 298 00:16:46,670 --> 00:16:52,280 see each other not as strangers, not even just as friends, but as brothers 299 00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:55,130 and sisters and Gods households. 300 00:16:55,130 --> 00:16:59,900 That's how we are to view each other. 301 00:17:00,935 --> 00:17:01,355 Jesus. 302 00:17:01,355 --> 00:17:04,175 This is interesting because you can just see this and think, 303 00:17:04,175 --> 00:17:06,483 oh, okay, uh, that's his people. 304 00:17:06,483 --> 00:17:08,165 But again, he's talking to a crowd here. 305 00:17:08,314 --> 00:17:14,885 So this wasn't just his disciples and Jesus didn't wait 306 00:17:14,885 --> 00:17:17,733 until they earned this title. 307 00:17:18,665 --> 00:17:22,385 Jesus didn't wait until they all felt so close to each other. 308 00:17:22,865 --> 00:17:24,814 He called 'em family immediately. 309 00:17:26,523 --> 00:17:27,723 Think about that for a second. 310 00:17:28,909 --> 00:17:34,219 If you begin to do the will of the father, you are my brother and sister immediately. 311 00:17:35,209 --> 00:17:36,859 I don't even have to know your last name. 312 00:17:38,419 --> 00:17:39,139 We're family. 313 00:17:40,519 --> 00:17:45,199 This is the view that God has of his people. 314 00:17:45,769 --> 00:17:51,949 Now, if this is the view that Jesus had, what should his followers have? 315 00:17:55,849 --> 00:17:57,269 Should be the same view, shouldn't it? 316 00:17:58,534 --> 00:18:01,864 We should have the same view that Jesus has. 317 00:18:02,104 --> 00:18:05,704 And so let me ask you this, and this again is a good question. 318 00:18:05,704 --> 00:18:07,444 Write this question down for yourself. 319 00:18:09,304 --> 00:18:14,764 Do I have the same view that Jesus has toward the church? 320 00:18:14,764 --> 00:18:14,854 And 321 00:18:16,954 --> 00:18:21,754 maybe for some of us, the question is, do I still have the same view? 322 00:18:23,284 --> 00:18:27,245 We maybe had it at one time, but maybe we've lost it. 323 00:18:28,190 --> 00:18:29,659 It's easy to lose. 324 00:18:30,170 --> 00:18:32,300 Let's keep it 100 up in here. 325 00:18:32,300 --> 00:18:32,780 Okay. 326 00:18:33,409 --> 00:18:34,370 It's easy to lose. 327 00:18:34,370 --> 00:18:37,760 I remember when I first became a Christian, I got baptized in Washington, 328 00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:40,370 DC and, and, and, and I was like, wow. 329 00:18:40,370 --> 00:18:42,740 Everybody is, this is my family. 330 00:18:42,740 --> 00:18:43,730 This is cool. 331 00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:45,020 And that was my first year. 332 00:18:45,020 --> 00:18:46,129 And then I, I went to New York. 333 00:18:46,129 --> 00:18:48,290 I was part of New York Church for several months, for the summer. 334 00:18:48,290 --> 00:18:52,010 Then I went to LA and I was like, man, all these new faces, this is new family. 335 00:18:52,159 --> 00:18:52,970 It was great. 336 00:18:52,970 --> 00:18:55,895 And then after about year two, I'm like, yeah, this is my family. 337 00:18:57,544 --> 00:18:58,174 Year three. 338 00:18:58,174 --> 00:18:58,354 Yeah. 339 00:18:58,384 --> 00:18:59,134 What's up homie? 340 00:19:00,784 --> 00:19:01,534 Alright, you. 341 00:19:01,534 --> 00:19:02,434 You know what I'm saying? 342 00:19:03,004 --> 00:19:05,344 Some of the all left and that's natural. 343 00:19:05,344 --> 00:19:06,904 That's not evil, that's not bad. 344 00:19:06,904 --> 00:19:07,954 I didn't have a bad heart. 345 00:19:08,104 --> 00:19:11,914 But what I needed is a reset because we could lose our 346 00:19:11,914 --> 00:19:13,444 appreciation for the fellowship. 347 00:19:14,344 --> 00:19:18,904 We can lose our all of what God is doing in the church. 348 00:19:19,684 --> 00:19:22,054 And sometimes, and me and Karina were talking about this yesterday, 349 00:19:22,204 --> 00:19:23,554 sometimes we can just have fatigue. 350 00:19:24,725 --> 00:19:27,455 Man, I've seen you about, man, 25 years. 351 00:19:27,455 --> 00:19:28,625 Every Wednesday and Sunday, 352 00:19:34,024 --> 00:19:34,235 brother. 353 00:19:34,235 --> 00:19:34,985 I'll catch it later. 354 00:19:34,985 --> 00:19:35,825 You know what I'm saying? 355 00:19:37,024 --> 00:19:37,325 Right. 356 00:19:37,895 --> 00:19:39,665 Are we, are we being honest or we're not being honest? 357 00:19:40,175 --> 00:19:41,165 That can happen. 358 00:19:41,645 --> 00:19:42,425 Right? 359 00:19:42,995 --> 00:19:44,764 And so what do we need when that happens? 360 00:19:44,764 --> 00:19:46,865 We need a resets. 361 00:19:48,709 --> 00:19:52,999 If we view our siblings, our kids, our parents, our spouses like that, 362 00:19:53,269 --> 00:19:55,070 we're on the road of destruction. 363 00:19:58,070 --> 00:20:00,529 And so we need to have a reset. 364 00:20:01,550 --> 00:20:04,999 I need to view you as an image bearer of God. 365 00:20:05,419 --> 00:20:09,259 You reflect God Almighty, and you know what? 366 00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:11,239 You are my brother. 367 00:20:11,719 --> 00:20:13,489 You are my sister. 368 00:20:14,959 --> 00:20:16,009 We riding together. 369 00:20:17,194 --> 00:20:18,604 We gonna be an eternity together. 370 00:20:18,724 --> 00:20:20,404 So these last 30 years, there's nothing. 371 00:20:23,854 --> 00:20:28,354 And for some of us, maybe this reset, as Daniel mentioned, 372 00:20:28,414 --> 00:20:29,824 maybe it's a simple reboot. 373 00:20:30,964 --> 00:20:35,344 Or maybe for some of us it's a factory reset and we need 374 00:20:35,344 --> 00:20:38,284 have a complete change of mind. 375 00:20:39,184 --> 00:20:43,264 And maybe it starts with, you know what, I'm just gonna be present. 376 00:20:43,984 --> 00:20:44,944 I'm gonna show up. 377 00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:47,000 We have a meeting of the body. 378 00:20:47,090 --> 00:20:50,300 I'm gonna show up, I'm gonna be there. 379 00:20:51,590 --> 00:20:53,000 I'm just gonna start there. 380 00:20:53,360 --> 00:20:56,629 'cause I'll be honest with you, I lead like, uh, a hundred percent 381 00:20:56,629 --> 00:21:02,090 of our midweeks and I can tell you that percentage of desiring 382 00:21:02,090 --> 00:21:05,330 and being so excited to be there is not a hundred percent. 383 00:21:06,649 --> 00:21:10,610 There are many drives on my way where I'm like, Lord, give me the strength. 384 00:21:11,180 --> 00:21:12,680 I do not feel like going. 385 00:21:13,114 --> 00:21:14,675 And then I get there and I'm struggling. 386 00:21:14,705 --> 00:21:17,314 Then the first person walks in and they see me and I'm working. 387 00:21:17,314 --> 00:21:18,935 I'm like, yeah, I need to smile. 388 00:21:18,935 --> 00:21:19,294 Okay. 389 00:21:19,415 --> 00:21:19,774 Alright. 390 00:21:20,014 --> 00:21:23,284 Second person comes in and it starts to change, and by the end of the 391 00:21:23,284 --> 00:21:26,735 night, I'm usually praying on my way, thanking, God, thank you that I came. 392 00:21:28,145 --> 00:21:29,764 Thank you for my brothers and sisters. 393 00:21:30,604 --> 00:21:31,564 I'm like, please forgive me. 394 00:21:31,564 --> 00:21:36,155 I'm so sorry I had a bad attitude earlier, but I'm grateful. 395 00:21:36,155 --> 00:21:37,804 So maybe for some of us, I'm just gonna decide. 396 00:21:37,804 --> 00:21:39,665 I'm gonna be presents, I'm gonna be there. 397 00:21:39,665 --> 00:21:40,504 I'm gonna show up. 398 00:21:41,060 --> 00:21:44,450 Maybe for some of us it's perhaps resetting our priorities. 399 00:21:46,190 --> 00:21:49,280 Man, you know, time is gone and we have a lot of things going on and man, in 400 00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:53,090 Orange County and, and life in general, there's a lot you can do, isn't there? 401 00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:57,530 And we have priorities that man, now I have, you know, baby girl, my oldest, uh, 402 00:21:57,530 --> 00:22:00,889 she, she's in, she's a high school and so now she's doing high school sports. 403 00:22:00,889 --> 00:22:02,510 So she was doing, you know, youth sports. 404 00:22:02,629 --> 00:22:03,800 Now she's doing high school sports. 405 00:22:03,889 --> 00:22:06,889 Number one, I didn't know they were gonna charge me for these high school sports. 406 00:22:07,730 --> 00:22:09,080 I am so upset. 407 00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:11,120 Corina's, like it's gonna cost a couple hundred. 408 00:22:11,120 --> 00:22:12,800 I said, couple hundred dollars for what? 409 00:22:13,159 --> 00:22:14,749 I thought we ended that. 410 00:22:15,290 --> 00:22:16,909 Sorry, I'm again, I gotta get this stuff out. 411 00:22:16,939 --> 00:22:17,959 Okay, I gotta get this stuff. 412 00:22:18,860 --> 00:22:22,550 But now she's got all these things and she's got sports and Dominique 413 00:22:22,550 --> 00:22:25,399 just started football again and desire Ray has this, and I'm 414 00:22:25,399 --> 00:22:26,780 like, man, this is getting crazy. 415 00:22:27,620 --> 00:22:28,790 I said, we gotta figure something out. 416 00:22:28,790 --> 00:22:30,199 I said, we can't do all this. 417 00:22:30,530 --> 00:22:31,340 We're gonna have to cut back. 418 00:22:31,340 --> 00:22:35,330 We're gonna have to limit this because we gotta prioritize what's most important. 419 00:22:37,685 --> 00:22:41,345 We're having to make some decisions to prioritize, and I believe for some 420 00:22:41,345 --> 00:22:45,215 of us, we need to sit down and think, maybe I need to reset my priorities. 421 00:22:47,075 --> 00:22:47,915 Maybe I need to sit down. 422 00:22:47,915 --> 00:22:54,185 Maybe I need to slow down so that I can focus in on what's truly valuable, 423 00:22:55,205 --> 00:23:01,325 what's eternal, and according to God, it's a relationship with him 424 00:23:01,685 --> 00:23:04,235 and a relationship with people. 425 00:23:05,374 --> 00:23:07,894 Especially those who believe. 426 00:23:09,215 --> 00:23:12,935 Let me ask you this, what are the possibilities if a group 427 00:23:12,995 --> 00:23:17,945 of true Christians viewed each other the way Jesus views us? 428 00:23:19,715 --> 00:23:21,304 What are the opportunities? 429 00:23:21,514 --> 00:23:27,425 What are the possibilities if a group of true Christians viewed 430 00:23:27,425 --> 00:23:30,695 each other the way Jesus views us? 431 00:23:37,429 --> 00:23:45,799 There would be acceptance, there would be supports, there would be belonging, 432 00:23:45,799 --> 00:23:50,959 there would be sacrifice, there would be joy, there would be needs being met. 433 00:23:51,319 --> 00:23:52,939 There would be love. 434 00:23:54,169 --> 00:23:56,509 But isn't that what all of us crave? 435 00:23:57,769 --> 00:23:58,939 Don't we all crave that? 436 00:23:59,915 --> 00:24:02,345 Don't we all wanna be in a place of where we belong? 437 00:24:02,915 --> 00:24:04,415 What's that old cheer song, right? 438 00:24:05,014 --> 00:24:06,215 All my old school heads know that. 439 00:24:06,215 --> 00:24:07,115 Remember Norm, right? 440 00:24:08,345 --> 00:24:09,935 Go where people go. 441 00:24:12,155 --> 00:24:14,375 You wanna go where everybody knows? 442 00:24:15,034 --> 00:24:15,935 There you go. 443 00:24:16,024 --> 00:24:18,365 All the young people are like, what is this old man talking about? 444 00:24:22,020 --> 00:24:23,495 We all wanna belong. 445 00:24:24,905 --> 00:24:28,115 We all wanna be accepted for who we are and not putting up a front. 446 00:24:29,360 --> 00:24:31,610 We all want supports. 447 00:24:31,790 --> 00:24:33,439 We all wanna be loved, but guess what? 448 00:24:33,469 --> 00:24:35,600 We all want that for everybody else as well. 449 00:24:36,350 --> 00:24:39,919 That's what you want, not only for you, but that's what you want for your family. 450 00:24:39,919 --> 00:24:42,020 That's what you want for your neighbors, for your coworkers. 451 00:24:43,129 --> 00:24:44,629 This is what we all want. 452 00:24:45,860 --> 00:24:52,760 And we have the opportunity when we have a reset and our view of people. 453 00:24:54,199 --> 00:24:55,820 'cause again, when we view each other. 454 00:24:56,749 --> 00:25:00,590 It's going to change the way we treat one another. 455 00:25:02,299 --> 00:25:03,199 Man, time is going. 456 00:25:03,199 --> 00:25:05,330 I've gotta, I gotta blaze through this last part here. 457 00:25:05,330 --> 00:25:05,600 Okay. 458 00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:05,989 All right. 459 00:25:06,229 --> 00:25:08,389 So, sorry Chad, I know you don't like it when I talk fast. 460 00:25:08,389 --> 00:25:09,739 I'm gonna talk fast here real quickly. 461 00:25:09,739 --> 00:25:10,009 Okay. 462 00:25:10,014 --> 00:25:10,274 Alright. 463 00:25:10,639 --> 00:25:12,320 So here's the response here. 464 00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:17,779 So if we, if we have a different view, then we have to go ahead and have love. 465 00:25:17,810 --> 00:25:19,549 We have to love people. 466 00:25:19,549 --> 00:25:22,489 And again, it's not have to, it's we get the opportunity to. 467 00:25:23,524 --> 00:25:27,155 The apostle Paul wrote to the church that met in the city of Rome, and he 468 00:25:27,155 --> 00:25:30,124 says this, we're gonna read it real quickly here, and it talks about this 469 00:25:30,124 --> 00:25:35,435 love and love we have to understand isn't a feeling primarily it's a feeling 470 00:25:35,584 --> 00:25:37,925 that leads to action and this word love. 471 00:25:37,925 --> 00:25:41,465 Many times in the, in the Bible, it's written in Greek, and so the word is 472 00:25:41,495 --> 00:25:46,324 agape and it's agape includes feeling, but it's really about doing what's 473 00:25:46,445 --> 00:25:47,945 in the best interest of the other. 474 00:25:49,159 --> 00:25:51,829 So when Jesus says, love your enemy, he's not talking about have warm, 475 00:25:51,829 --> 00:25:53,269 fuzzy feelings for your enemy. 476 00:25:53,299 --> 00:25:55,969 He's talking about do what's best for your enemy. 477 00:25:56,809 --> 00:25:57,949 It's a verb. 478 00:25:58,129 --> 00:26:01,879 It's something that we do, not something necessarily that we just possess. 479 00:26:01,909 --> 00:26:02,899 You guys with me here? 480 00:26:03,409 --> 00:26:06,499 So let's read an understanding that the love must be sincere. 481 00:26:06,499 --> 00:26:08,209 Verse nine, hate what is evil. 482 00:26:08,209 --> 00:26:09,215 Clinging to what is good. 483 00:26:09,499 --> 00:26:11,269 Be devoted to one another in love. 484 00:26:11,929 --> 00:26:13,429 Honor one another above yourselves. 485 00:26:13,579 --> 00:26:14,749 Never be lacking in ze. 486 00:26:15,199 --> 00:26:17,449 But keep your spiritual fervor serving the Lord. 487 00:26:17,659 --> 00:26:21,439 Be joyful and hope patient and affliction faithful in prayer. 488 00:26:21,439 --> 00:26:24,080 Share with the Lord's people who are in need. 489 00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:25,399 Practice hospitality. 490 00:26:25,610 --> 00:26:27,590 Bless those who persecute you. 491 00:26:28,010 --> 00:26:29,570 Bless and do not curse. 492 00:26:29,810 --> 00:26:33,379 Rejoice with those who rejoice, mourn with those who mourn. 493 00:26:33,530 --> 00:26:35,389 Live in harmony with one another. 494 00:26:35,629 --> 00:26:39,919 Do not be proud, but be willing to associate with people of low position. 495 00:26:40,429 --> 00:26:41,510 Do not be conceited. 496 00:26:41,780 --> 00:26:43,405 Do not repay anyone evil for evil. 497 00:26:44,120 --> 00:26:47,450 Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everyone. 498 00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:52,970 If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone. 499 00:26:53,270 --> 00:26:57,200 Verse 19, do not take revenge, my dear friends, but leave room for 500 00:26:57,200 --> 00:26:58,760 God's wrath where it is written. 501 00:26:58,879 --> 00:27:00,139 It is mine to avenge. 502 00:27:00,139 --> 00:27:01,639 I will repay, says the Lord. 503 00:27:01,925 --> 00:27:04,925 On the contrary, if your enemy is hungry, feed him. 504 00:27:04,955 --> 00:27:07,085 If he is thirsty, give him something to drink. 505 00:27:07,325 --> 00:27:10,595 In doing this, you will heat burning coals on his head. 506 00:27:10,595 --> 00:27:15,035 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good. 507 00:27:15,695 --> 00:27:16,565 Let's stop right there. 508 00:27:16,565 --> 00:27:20,375 Here's God's vision for our relationships and our character. 509 00:27:21,530 --> 00:27:27,540 It's God's vision that this is what describe our and, uh, 510 00:27:27,540 --> 00:27:31,055 uh, uh, it would describe our relationships and our character. 511 00:27:32,524 --> 00:27:35,974 See when there's a reset, it begins with our view, but it 512 00:27:35,974 --> 00:27:37,534 leads to what we just read. 513 00:27:38,734 --> 00:27:41,914 It leads to sincere love and action. 514 00:27:42,334 --> 00:27:45,844 There's devotion, there's honor to one another. 515 00:27:45,844 --> 00:27:50,704 There's sharing, there's generosity, ity, hospitality, for those you know 516 00:27:50,709 --> 00:27:55,654 and those you don't know, supportive in the good and the tough times. 517 00:27:55,864 --> 00:27:59,134 Living at peace instead of hostility and animosity. 518 00:27:59,749 --> 00:28:04,370 Showing mercy and even, and even blessing enemies. 519 00:28:04,850 --> 00:28:06,649 You see, this is who we are. 520 00:28:07,100 --> 00:28:13,340 This is what we do and this is the type of relationships we are to have. 521 00:28:15,139 --> 00:28:17,989 This right here is love and action. 522 00:28:17,989 --> 00:28:19,219 We have a reset. 523 00:28:19,729 --> 00:28:26,629 It leads to action where there's true love being exemp, uh, exhibited. 524 00:28:27,799 --> 00:28:30,769 We have the Lord's favor and we get a chance to bring 525 00:28:30,769 --> 00:28:32,749 the Lord's favor to people. 526 00:28:33,199 --> 00:28:34,759 You get a chance to bring it to you. 527 00:28:34,969 --> 00:28:37,070 You get a chance to bring it to somebody else. 528 00:28:37,850 --> 00:28:40,669 'cause we receive it, we experience it, and then we join 529 00:28:40,669 --> 00:28:42,919 God in bringing that to others. 530 00:28:43,580 --> 00:28:46,699 We join God in blessing our communities and blessing each 531 00:28:46,699 --> 00:28:48,799 other and making situations better. 532 00:28:48,919 --> 00:28:52,459 When the Christians come into the building, the situation should get better. 533 00:28:53,239 --> 00:28:54,614 It shouldn't go from good to bad. 534 00:28:55,564 --> 00:28:58,925 We come in, it should go from bad to good, from good to 535 00:28:58,925 --> 00:29:00,395 better, and from better to best. 536 00:29:00,395 --> 00:29:04,504 You guys with me here because we're bringing the Lord's favor into the table. 537 00:29:06,034 --> 00:29:07,175 This is who we are. 538 00:29:07,205 --> 00:29:11,044 This is what we do, and these are the relationships that we have. 539 00:29:11,794 --> 00:29:16,294 But again, this is what we all desire and this is what we all want to do. 540 00:29:17,314 --> 00:29:21,350 And it starts with the reset with God That leads to a reset with people. 541 00:29:22,024 --> 00:29:23,975 Let's get real, uh, uh, practical here. 542 00:29:23,975 --> 00:29:26,044 So here's some action steps just for the week here. 543 00:29:26,104 --> 00:29:26,554 Alright? 544 00:29:26,764 --> 00:29:30,274 Now you can continue this going forward, but I wanna, I wanna encourage you 545 00:29:30,274 --> 00:29:33,574 and ask you and challenge you to do this for the next seven days here. 546 00:29:33,574 --> 00:29:33,965 Okay? 547 00:29:34,114 --> 00:29:35,195 So here's number one. 548 00:29:35,495 --> 00:29:39,455 Pray each day this week, this type of prayer, God help me see and treat people 549 00:29:39,455 --> 00:29:44,284 as you do every day before you get on the car, you get on the five or the 550 00:29:44,284 --> 00:29:46,774 4 0 5 and 91 before you go to class. 551 00:29:46,774 --> 00:29:49,594 And you have to take face that, that, that professor before you 552 00:29:49,594 --> 00:29:50,364 go to school, whatever it is. 553 00:29:51,215 --> 00:29:53,105 Pray every day this week. 554 00:29:53,345 --> 00:29:55,835 God help me see and treat people as you do. 555 00:29:56,975 --> 00:30:01,115 And then second, choose a go-to verse that shapes how you view others. 556 00:30:02,405 --> 00:30:05,825 Find if you don't have one, have a go-to verse that helps you 557 00:30:05,945 --> 00:30:08,735 to reframe your view of people. 558 00:30:09,245 --> 00:30:13,504 'cause sometimes I get some calls and I'm like, they are made in the image of you. 559 00:30:15,545 --> 00:30:17,135 They are my brother and sister. 560 00:30:18,694 --> 00:30:20,704 Okay, let's do this with me here. 561 00:30:21,394 --> 00:30:30,214 So from now on we regard no one from a worldly point of view. 562 00:30:31,264 --> 00:30:37,384 Though we once regarded Christ in this way, we do so no longer. 563 00:30:37,804 --> 00:30:43,204 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, that's you and me. 564 00:30:43,504 --> 00:30:45,394 The new creation has come. 565 00:30:45,769 --> 00:30:47,479 The old is gone. 566 00:30:47,689 --> 00:30:50,659 The new is here. 567 00:30:51,139 --> 00:30:54,110 May God lead us to a reset in our relationships and may we 568 00:30:54,110 --> 00:30:56,389 experience more of God's favor. 569 00:30:56,419 --> 00:30:56,870 Amen.
