Transition

Turning your Bibles to John 13 with me. For all the intercessors in the house, you can pray for my voice. You didn't notice I was screaming on the mic in worship. And so usually what happens when I lose my voice, if you've been around long enough at Grove, what happens is my voice starts cracking.

When I scream on the mic, then I start sounding like I'm 14. And yeah, so pray for me when you think of it. But my message tonight is called transition. Transition, everybody say transition.

How many of you know that we are in a transition year? 2020. It's a new decade, but man, are we in transition? As a nation, we're in transition with our culture.

I believe the church is in transition. I believe that many of us in our employment, when we did our census a couple months ago, coming out of COVID, and right before we gathered back for church, 30% of our church had their employment impacted in some way during the last six months. And there's transition happening in our families, in relationships, in our romantic relationships. There's trans, I mean, here are a lot of people going on dates.

There's transition. That's a good transition. Or maybe some bad ones, I don't know. But we're in transition.

And sometimes our transition might be more like a tribulation, right? Sometimes the change in the shift and the transition is full of pressure and difficulty. And that's what I want to talk about tonight is how do we move forward and move through transition? And how did Jesus move through transition, just like many of us are in transition right now?

And what are we supposed to know? And what are we supposed to do in transition? I think we need to know that. We need to know how do I move forward?

How do I actually live in a way that's honoring to you, Lord? But I think a lot of times the tendency is to just put our heads down and plow in transition, right? There's difficulty that I'm facing, and I'm just going to put my head down, stuff the idea that I'm even in transition and in difficulty, and in pressure, and in hard circumstances. And actually, the chapter is changing, and I'm going into a new volume in my life, and I just don't want to think about it.

Because it's a little overwhelming, or maybe some of us are like, yes, transition. It's the best. I love change. And you just thrive and change, and maybe sometimes you just want change to escape what you're in.

But I think that in the midst of transition, there's a fight or a flight that happens for us, depending on our personality. Sometimes we want hibernate through transition, right? Just close our ears and forget that it's happening. But I believe that there's greatness available when we're in transition.

I believe that there's people in the room that when you're in the midst of transition, God is actually going to be moving through you, and it's going to be greatness, getting expressed through you. I think that we need to have a grounding when the sands are shifting. I think that there needs to be a solid foundation. I think that we need to actually build our lives on a rock as there's shifting that's taking place.

And so we pick up in John 13, John 13, verse 1. Jesus, this is Thursday of Passover of Passion Week. And so what that means is that this is Thursday night, and then Friday afternoon, so in less than 24 hours, Jesus is going to breathe his last. And so this is his last meal on earth.

And he's eating his last dinner with his disciples. And from John 13, I want you to turn the page a couple times here, John 13 through 16 into 17. This is all right before Jesus is arrested. So we're looking at this large chunk of scripture all the way up through John 1 through John 12 is Jesus' ministry.

And then John, he starts writing in detail about the last 24 hours of Jesus' life. And we look at all of these chapters are happening on the night of Jesus' betrayal. He's communicating all of these lessons to his disciples in the moment of his transition. In the moment of his greatest difficulty, the greatest change, the hinge of history in this moment, his transition is right here in this moment.

Look at John 13, verse 1. It says, now before the peace of Passover, when Jesus knew that his transition had come, right? His hour had finally come right now in this moment to depart out of this world to the Father, having loved his own who were in the world. He loved them to the end.

I love that phrase. Man, I think there are some of us that are going to meditate on that phrase for a couple weeks. He loved them to the end. Verse 2, during supper when the devil had already put it into the heart of Judas' scary at Simon's Son to betray him.

Verse 3, Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, that he had come from God and was going back to God, rose from supper. He laid aside his outer garden, to take it into Tal, tied it around his waist, then he poured water into a basin, and began to wash the disciples' feet and to wipe them with the towel that was wrapped around him. So Jesus, in this moment of difficulty, he's the only one in the room. Listen, he's the only one out of all of his friends that knows what's happening.

He knows what's coming, right? And he gets up and he starts washing his disciples' feet. But look at verse 3 again. At what John says about Jesus.

Jesus knows something. What does Jesus want us to know in our transition? Well, he knows that the Father had given all things into his hands, that he had come from God and was going back to God. So he knew what he had been given.

He knew where he had come from, and he knew where he was going. Those are the things that we need to know as his sons and daughters would were facing transition. You have to know first before you become, right? And so Jesus, the first thing that it says is that, he knew what the Father had given him.

What did the Father give him? All power and authority. How many of you know if you're gonna go on a difficult journey that you wanna know what's in your knapsack, right? You're like in the woods, you're taking two pieces of what trying to make a fire and you've got a lighter in your backpack.

We need to know what we've been given when we face difficult circumstances. Is that right? You need to know the tools. You need to know who you've been given.

Jesus had been given the Holy Spirit when he got baptized in the Holy Spirit. Is that right? We need to know that we have need of someone to be with us. We have need of an advocate.

We have need of a guide when we're facing difficult. We have need of a helper when we're facing transition. When we're moving through change, we need somebody to comfort us. How many of you know that when you're facing difficulty, it's really nice to have somebody that gets you, that understands you and can hold you when you're upset?

Cause it's difficult and it's hard and what you're facing is draining. And it feels like your patience is running thin and you just need a comforter to just understand that Jesus is going, I know, I know what you need. And then the following verses, so he knows what he has. And then he's telling his disciples, this is such a beautiful moment that he's the only one that knows what he's going through.

And yet he takes the opportunity to not figure out how can I escape, how can I go to Galilee or Capernaum and go back into the old, back into the crowds that are praising him, the throngs of people gathering around him. Instead what he does is he stays in the transition, present to it. And then he's going, I'm gonna prepare them and share with them what they need. I mean, look, turn your page.

John 14, he's talking to them about the Holy Spirit. You're gonna need to help her. He talks about it in John 16. In verse 13, when the Spirit of Truth comes, he's gonna guide you.

Jesus, he knows what he has and he's going, oh, I know what you need. You need to know what you've been given, power and authority. You know what you need, you need him. What else does Jesus know?

He knows where he came from. Jesus knows where he came from. I came from Fresno, California. I was born in Fresno.

I grew up in Colorado Springs, Colorado. I live in Blaine. I come from Blaine. What is John saying about Jesus?

It's like, that's a Blaine. What a great city. What is John saying about Jesus? He's saying not that Jesus came from Bethlehem and Egypt and grew up in Egypt and Nazareth.

No, he came from where the Father. John is making the point that Jesus knew who sent him. When he's saying where he came from, it's more about who sent him and the nature of who sent him. See, we approach difficulty differently when, imagine that you are royalty and then you move to another land and you face difficulty.

You're bringing into that circumstance a royal mindset and you're bringing into that circumstance an understanding of who sent you. And it's not just that he's royalty, but it's also that he knows the character of the person that sent him. He knows that he's infinitely meek, infinitely kind, glorious, he's got a glorious smile. His smile outshines the son of the Father's smile is really powerful.

Jesus knows the glory of the Father in eternity past. He knows where he came from. Some of us need to be, need a new revelation. And that's what I was even talking about in worship when we had that moment.

That there's a burning flame of love inside of us that needs to get stoked again. A deep hunger of knowing the Father, knowing him intimately, things about him, what he feels his emotions. Oh Lord, what moves in your heart when you look at this new story? I wanna know where I've come from.

I wanna know my roots. What my family thinks about what I've seen, I wanna know where it came from. How many of you know that you have a family system? And oftentimes when you get married, you realize how dysfunctional your family system was.

And then you start realizing all the other people around you have the same dysfunction, but it's just different, right? And you start realizing, man, we're all screwed up. We're all gonna stuff, aren't we? But then when you go, you start tracing your family line to God the Father, you start knowing where you came from, and it starts changing.

Jesus didn't just know where he came from or what he had been given, but he knew where he was going. Some of us resist the change because we're not fueled by the future, right? So it's like, how many of you have seen a woman that is pregnant, she's overdue? Don't tell her that you think she's overdue, okay?

But she's pregnant, and she's like, okay, she's at 42 weeks, and she's like, Lord, please help me. This baby won't get out of me, right? And what's happening is that baby isn't moving into transition. But the baby is actually growing too big, and the pressure on that child in the womb is actually gonna force that child out, right?

I don't know, I'm not gonna get into it, okay? I know that that was Provalmo. That was a Provalmo moment. I'm getting a wow, yeah.

But what I'm trying to say is sometimes the heat needs to get turned up in our lives because we resist transition so much, and sometimes the pressure that we're feeling is because we're resisting change. And so I want to encourage you to notice, am I being willing to change? Where do I just like the old one, right? The church in America is having to face this new season.

And there's a lot of different opinions about how we're supposed to change, but I know that there's a change that's happening right now. What is it gonna look like? I'm not sure. I know we're in transition though.

I know that there's a pruning happening just in a couple chapters in John 15, same night. He starts talking about, I'm the vine, you're the branches, I'm gonna prune. You, and you're gonna bear much fruit, right? There's a pruning happening, and we're not gonna resist it.

We're gonna embrace it because we know that it means more fruit. We have to be fueled by the future. I promise you that your difficulty in your transition right now, it's actually gonna mean good for you. You're going, but no, no, no, no, you don't understand what I'm facing.

You don't understand how difficult it is. You don't understand the pain that I'm experiencing. And you're right, I don't, I don't get it. But I wonder what Jesus is feeling in this moment when he's looking at us right now, we're going, you don't even get it, Lord.

Right? I wonder what he's thinking when we're railing against him. Why would you do this to me? He's going, oh, I just have good prepared for you.

Son or daughter, don't you know that for every person, every son or daughter that loves me, I'm always gonna work it out for their good. Don't you remember the promise that I might not be behind the transition, but I'm gonna be part of the good that comes out of it. Even that the enemy, what the enemy meant for evil, I'm gonna turn it for good for you. Even though 2020 has been a dumpster fire, crazy, right?

I'm gonna turn it for good for my church, for my people, for my bride. She's actually gonna come up, come out of the wilderness ahead, because she's gonna come out of the wilderness leaning on her beloved closer than she was before. I want that to be true about me. Oh, Lord, make me more tender.

Make me more near to your heart in the middle of the transition. Jesus knows the end of the story, where he's going, right? He knows the end of the story for the enemy, right? He knows the end of the story for him that he gets every tribe, tongue, nation, and people, singing love songs and adoring him at the end of the story.

See, he's looking past, sometimes there's a fog, but we have to actually lift our eyes off of ourselves just enough to see what might be ahead and might be on the other side of the suffering. The reality is that Jesus and the Bible, period, promises suffering. So, don't be surprised that you're facing difficulty. That is very, very normal.

Listen, you're not a special person, that you're facing hardship. It's like, wow, they're really having to go with it. Huh, God's not surprised by your suffering and your difficulty that you're facing. God's not surprised that you show up to work every single one of you like, man, I hate this.

Lord, please transition me, right? He's not surprised by the suffering. That's funny that I'm calling that suffering. But sometimes you're like, no, you don't know my boss.

But we need to have this picture of, I'm seeing something in the future. What if the present was that the present pressures in our suffering is actually producing character in us so that we can carry what's on the other side of the transition. Sometimes the pressure actually produces gold inside of us so that we can actually bear more fruit in the next stage, in the next state. There is emotions that come with transition.

So if you try to just stuff the feelings that you have, listen, stop stuffing, stop stuffing the difficulty, be present to it. Do you know that Jesus was present to this transition moment emotionally? That he wasn't stoic sitting at the last suburb. It says in verse 21 that he was troubled in his spirit.

What does it look like for the God that has infinite emotion to be troubled in his spirit? It says that he wept in the garden. Later that night he's weeping. Listen, sweating blood, like there's this moment that Jesus is having, it's okay to be emotional when you're going through difficulty.

Even if you're a guy. Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. It's okay to feel emotions and actually give name to them. I'm feeling this way.

And instead of sitting in the emotion, you vocalize it and then you bring it to him. Oh my gosh, if we would learn that lesson as men, that's a big deal. Jesus is present and he's real and authentic, but we're going to experience a lot of different things in transition, anxiety, fear. The fear of the unknown is so intense when you're in transition, right?

I don't know what's gonna happen, but it's probably gonna be bad. Self-protection mode, anxiety, worry, all of that starts surfacing when transition happens. But Jesus is present in the moment and he's troubled, but he's not afraid. There's emotions happening, but he's not giving himself over to it, right?

What does he do in verse four? Oh my gosh. Fan, verse four. He rose from supper, laid aside his outer garments, taking it out, tied it around his waist, and then he starts washing his disciples feet.

They're eating a meal. And if you know anything about Passover meal, it's like a six-hour process, okay? It's like a long meal. And they're eating Passover and he gets up, fills a basin with water and starts going one by one to all 12 of his disciples.

That's 24 feet. Smelly, nasty, gnarly, 24 feet. He approaches Thomas. Worst hammer till he's ever seen.

Literally the worst. Thomas, how can you walk? He approaches Peter. Peter's like, you shall not wash my feet.

And Jesus is like, I know what's going on down there. I know about that fungus, Peter. And Peter's coming up like, no, it's fine. I'm good.

You're not gonna never wash my feet. And Jesus is like, oh, I know what's going on. I'm even gonna wash your feet, Peter, right? He comes over to Judas and grabs Judas' plate.

Satan's in the room. Says right after this that Jesus is troubled. And then Judas is the one that gets handed the piece of bread and Satan enters into Judas and possesses Judas. Satan's in the room as Jesus is bending down in his transition of difficulty to love the one that is gonna betray him.

What kind of love is this? What kind of man, knowing that every single person sitting around the table is gonna abandon him. And then one of his best friends Peter is gonna deny him in front of others. And then one of his best friends, Judas, is actually going to betray him for some cash in every single person.

I mean, what was the emotions in the room? What were they thinking? Could you hear the pin drop? Was it silent?

Were their tears? It was an intimate moment of love that was practical. See, Jesus knew these three things about him, where he had come from, where he was going, and what he had been given. And it actually produced love that was uncommon.

In the middle of the pressure. This is the moment where everyone should be thinking about their escape plan and be in self-protection mode. Right? This is the moment where there's a threat.

And in the middle of the threat, you're going, how can I make sure that I'm protected? And instead, Jesus knows where he came from, where he's going and what he's been given. And he starts serving people around him and loving people around him. This is what it means to go through transition like 2020, the way that Jesus did.

We start loving the people around us practically. Turn your Bibles to John 15, just a couple pages. One page, John 15, verse nine, it says, "'As the Father has loved me, so I love you, "'as the Father has loved me, "'so I have loved you, abide in my love." Then what does he say? "'If you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love." Just as I have kept my Father's commandments and abide in his love.

These things I've spoken to you that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be full. This is my commandment, here's his commandment. So he's saying, "'Bide in my love, if you keep my commandments, "'you'll abide in my love.'" And then in verse 12, he talks about his commandment. He says, "'This is my commandment that you love one another "'as I have loved you.

"'Greater love is no one than this "'than someone laid down his life for his friends." There is something special that Jesus is connecting dots on right now on the eve of his crucifixion. He's connecting the golden rule, the first and second commandment and abiding in love. You see that where he's going, okay, abide in my love, receive my love. The best way to receive my love is actually obeying me.

And what you need to obey me in is loving people around you in your neighbor. And then you're gonna need, once you start loving the people around you and your neighbor, and they're messed up just like all the other men around this table, you're gonna need to abide in my love a little bit more. I know that you're gonna need the tools, you're gonna need what you've been given, you're gonna need to know where you came from and your call as royals. And you're gonna need to know where you're going once you start loving people.

Cause people are difficult to love. Loving people is messy. And so what he's going is, you actually get to be my image bearer, and you get to make known my image. You get to be fruitful and you get to be multiplying my image everywhere.

Listen, you get to be fruitful and multiply my image everywhere by sitting in my love and knowing where you came from, knowing the father's love obeying me through loving people. And it just is this glorious cycle of the call of every believer. And I know, listen, I know that you've heard this message. I know that you've been at growth, that you've heard this before.

Do you think I wasn't here six months ago or here ago or here and half ago or two weeks ago? You're going, I've already heard this. But this is a message that keeps on getting preached again and again and again in the gospels, again and again and again in the epistles. And it's because in every single season, it's actually the message that we're supposed to become loved.

Because it's not necessarily about the message, but it's the context of the message. And your context is transition. And your step forward is knowing who you are, what you've been given, where you're going. And then what you do is you be loved and you rest in love and you get connected and loved to him because you sure are gonna need it when you're starting to love people.

Let's all stand. I wanna respond to the Lord. In Matthew seven, there's a story that's parable where Jesus, and we can spread out. We're just gonna be in this a moment with the Lord for a little bit.

So however you wanna get comfortable. In Matthew seven, Jesus, he tells this story about the storm coming and to build our house on a rock. How many of you guys remember that story? Build your house on the rock.

And for the longest time, I always thought, yeah, I need to build my house on Jesus. He's the rock, right? But if you look at that passage again, what he's saying is that building your house on the rock is actually building your house on obeying Jesus. Obaying what he's commanded.

God is calling us in the middle of the storm to put our anchor back on, oh, it's actually about obeying him because that's his love language. And so I wanna call us as a people to actually step into obeying the Father through loving our neighbor because it's actually gonna be the thing. It's not weird, it's gonna be the thing that sustains you in the storm. It sustains you in the transition.

It sustains you in the change. You taking your eyes off of you and putting it on the people in front of you and going, I'm gonna love them well, is actually a key to you being sustained in your transition. Are you hearing me tonight? Your key right now is actually going, I'm gonna take my eyes off of my navel.

I'm gonna take my eyes off of me. And I'm gonna start asking you to actually be loved through me to the people around me. That's what there's, there's an invitation here tonight to follow Jesus. To do transition the way that Jesus did transition.

And I believe there's an invitation for us tonight to get really practical and start asking the Holy Spirit questions of how we can actually do this, okay? And so what I'm gonna do is I'm going to lead us in a conversation where I'm gonna ask questions and you get to turn those questions into your own words to the Lord, okay? So I'm gonna say some questions and you get to turn those questions and you hear me speak and you get to turn them into your own language before the Lord. If I'm asking questions and you're just having a conversation with the Lord on the side, just forget that I'm even here, okay?

So you're free to just connect with him during this time. But if it's helpful, I'm actually going to be, I'm going to ask questions that might stoke conversation between you and him around this topic, okay? Holy Spirit, we love you so much. Thank you for being given to us.

Father, thank you for sending the gift, the helper, our guide. Father, thank you for this amazing gift. Holy Spirit, who are the people that are around me in everyday life? Who are the people that I see every single day?

He's gonna just start speaking. Giving your names. He's gonna start bringing faces to your mind. If you're a son or a daughter of God, you're gonna just hear his voice.

He loves using our imagination to speak to us. Lord, who are the people in my life? Holy Spirit, how can I love each of those individuals? Practically, this week.

It might be helpful if you wanna take notes, if you wanna send yourself a text message. Whatever's gonna help you engage in the Holy Spirit, what's the practical way that I can love my neighbor, the minute or two, for the Holy Spirit to start giving creative downloads, creative ideas, how we can love the people around us, practically. Insight, creative ideas of how we can love a couple of people around me. Spirit, I thank you.

Thank you for creatively brainstorming with me. I love creative brainstorms with you. It's very fun to do creative brainstorms. The God that knows exactly what communicates love to these people.

You know them inside and out. It's so fun to just have these creative moments with you. Holy Spirit, I thank you that you're the same one that gave Jesus the creative idea to bend down and wash his disciples feet. That was your idea.

Holy Spirit, is there anything that you would have me obey you in this week? Anything that you're inviting me to do. Sometimes when we don't feel like we're getting anything, it refocuses us to just ask him again. So if that's you, if you're kind of going, I don't feel like I'm hearing anything.

Sometimes I feel like I'm not hearing anything, really sensing that the Holy Spirit is saying something. And I just rephrase the question, because we're just having a conversation. So I'll just say something like, Holy Spirit, is there like a verse that you want me to be reminded of right now? Holy Spirit, is there something that you want me to step into?

Or I just changed the question and it helps me re-engage my heart to listen. I give about 15, 30 seconds to just ask him again. For those that want to ask that follow-up question. Sometimes we can get so stuck on.

Is this God or is this not? We can enter into so much doubt. Second guessing ourselves. And the Lord really isn't concerned as much about that right now.

You're literally asking him questions about how you can love people around you and how you can obey him. And he's not gonna be upset if you didn't hear him precisely. He just loves that you're asking. And even if you do something and your heart is obedience and love to him and you didn't exactly hear him, we need to remember that he's not a mad, sad, angry God.

And he's not crossing his arms saying you really missed it. He's going, oh my goodness, did you see her ask me again? Did you see him ask me a question, lifting up his chin to inquire of me? Oh, I love when they look at me.

I love when they just ask me questions, even when they only see and part and hear and part. The accuser of the brethren wants to convince us that we need to get it right. And Jesus isn't as concerned about getting it right. He's more concerned about the nearness of our hearts.

Last question that I want us to ask Holy Spirit if you're still tracking is Holy Spirit, when is a good time for us to connect this week and how the special moment wins a good time? What day of the week? What time of the day? What time of the night?

When should we connect and have a moment together? Holy Spirit, thank you. I'm very excited about this time that we're setting up this appointment. It's gonna go in my calendar this week.

I'm really excited to get some special time just to you and me. Lord, where should we go together? What part of the house? Where should we drive to?

Where should we set up shop together? When no one's around and you search the deep things in me and I search the deep things in you by the power of the Holy Spirit. Lord, where should we connect? Where should we go?

Holy Spirit's using our imagination right now. I believe that we get to just have even a moment right now of honesty, like honest, raw conversation, where maybe there's a little bit of real talk around the transition that some of us have been in. And so wherever you wanna go in the room, you can do that, but we're gonna take five or 10 minutes and we're just gonna have a moment with him. And it's just gonna be like, hey, let's talk about what's going on.

And I don't encourage you, whatever you wanna go in the room, we're gonna take five, 10 minutes and just linger with him for a little bit, okay? Let's just linger with him. If you're going, I don't know what to talk to him about. You can start a conversation because he's your best friend.

Talk about what's really on your mind. It's gonna be five, 10 minutes of being faithful and day in and day out, digesting the word. But then there's moments that I think are valuable for us to set up these special moments with him. It's kinda like you can be going in life side by side with your spouse, but there has to be moments where you turn face to face, right?

And I wanna encourage us when we go to the Lord and we have these face to face moments, something that I do randomly that you can do if you want, is I'll get there and I'll just stop and take a big deep breath. And I'll state the obvious. I'll say something like, here I am again. And him and I both know that it's me right here in this moment again.

And sometimes it's just for me. And I'll say something like, though I can't see you right now, I know that we can't see each other, but I showed up again. And I'll just have this moment of acknowledging, here we are right now. And you're a real person, and I'm gonna connect with you in this moment.

And we're just not gonna do the religious thing. I'm just not satisfied with doing the right thing. And so what I encourage you this week, I know that some of us, I think a lot of us, scheduled this moment with him. I wanna encourage you even to set an alarm.

It's like, it's gonna feel inconvenient. I believe some of us, if it's a confirmation, I believe some of you got like a two a.m. time. Like a middle of the night moment where you're gonna wake up and it's just him and you in a quiet house.

And it's gonna feel inconvenient, but be with him. And I don't care if you have a two minute conversation with him and then you fall asleep. There's something special about abiding with him. And then it's actually gonna fuel your love and your obedience of loving others in everyday life.

Okay? Cause you're just gonna feel a little bit more known, a little bit more seen, a little bit more understood. Okay? We're gonna stand and I'm gonna commission you out.

As empowered everyday believers. I wanna encourage you, I know that maybe if it's your first time, you're kinda going, man, this isn't how I've experienced church before. And we really believe that this is an end to spectator Christianity, that you're not called to be a spectator and just to ensure services, watch the minister up front, do something and then the worship team perform for you. We're actually going after real authentic connection and it gets to be personal and it gets to be corporate.

Okay? That's what we're going after as a family. So Lord, we look at you and what you did and what you knew when you were in the middle of the greatest transition in human history. The transition from one chosen people group to every tribe, nation and tongue and people getting swept into a covenant.

You choosing to actually lay down your life. You choosing to be whipped and beaten by the hands that you created and formed in fashion. You actually bending down and going low and washing the feet of your betrayed Lord in the middle of your transition. We just worship you that this is how you approach the difficulty and the chaos and the transition of the greatest moment of pain.

And Lord, when we look at our suffering and our pain and our difficulty, we have someone we can look up to. We have someone we can follow. We have someone that gets it and understands. And so Lord, we remind ourselves again because we all need reminding that you've given us what we need for life and Godliness and that we know who we've come from and who we've been sent by.

And we sure know that there's an end of the story and that we have an anchor of hope. We love you Lord and here we go into everyday life. The arena of love and we jump in you and you in Jesus name, everybody's setting up.
