Well, good morning. We're going to continue on in our series in Ephesians this morning.
If you would take the Word of God with me and go to Paul's letter to the Ephesians,
chapter 3, and we'll finish out to the first section of the book of Ephesians,
who we are in Christ, our identity in Christ.
The teens have been going over that on Wednesday nights,
talking about their identity in Christ,
and that's what we've all been looking at as a church in this first half of the book of Ephesians.
So if you go to chapter 3, we're going to continue on verses 14 through 21, the end of the chapter.
If you're able to, would you stand with me?
And let's take the Word of God and read together Ephesians 3, verse 14.
For this reason, I kneel before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named.
I pray that he may grant you, according to the riches of his glory,
to be strengthened with power in your inner being through his Spirit,
and that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith.
I pray that you, being rooted and firmly established in love,
may be able to comprehend with all the saints
what is the length and width, height and depth of God's love,
and to know Christ's love that surpasses knowledge,
so that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.
Now to him who is able to do above and beyond all that we ask or think,
according to the power that works in us,
to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus,
to all generations, forever and ever.
Amen.
God, I pray that you would bless the reading of your Word.
I pray that you would speak to us.
Show us how important it is
to not forsake daily communication with you through prayer.
And it's in Jesus' name we pray.
Amen.
You may be seated.
Before we get started,
is there any news from any burnt orange wearing people in the audience?
Just want to get that out there.
What elephant in the room kind of thing.
No? We're still waiting?
All right.
Well then y'all just let me preach and don't tell me till the end, all right?
So, there's a Jimmy Moses for Alabama
and a few of us Longhorn fans are kind of waiting to see
how this whole college football playoff thing works out.
But let's take our minds off of that for just a few minutes
and let's get into the book of Ephesians, all right?
So, we've been talking in our series on Ephesians,
of course, who we are and how we live.
Much of the study from this book
and kind of the outline for today's sermon in particular
comes from this Christ-centered exposition commentary series
and Pastor Tony Merida from out in North Carolina
wrote that particular book in that series.
The background of the book of Ephesians
written by Apostle Paul around AD 62.
Anno domini means in the year of our Lord, all right?
So, that's kind of giving you that, that Tony was quizzing y'all on that.
Tony's always good for a Bible quiz, man.
Just trivia with Tony sometimes.
It's awesome.
The setting was Paul's Roman imprisonment
and he was very familiar with this church in Ephesus,
far away from Rome, had to be taken by courier,
his letter to this church
and then distributed to other churches around the area.
But he knew this church well
because he had been their pastor for three years.
So, he was very intimate with these people
and God gave him these words to write to them
and then to send on to all of us for all time.
The word of our Lord lives forever.
The breakdown of the book of Ephesians,
those first three chapters we're finishing up today,
talks about who we are in Christ.
Next Sunday, we will begin how we live for Christ,
chapters four through six.
We'll take a break for Christmas Eve Sunday
and talk about that.
But we'll continue on in our series in Ephesians
the rest of the Sundays.
So, part one, we're finishing up our identity in Christ,
who we are in Him,
and the text for today is Ephesians chapter three
and verse 14.
We have been having some fill-in-the-blank notes for you.
I didn't get those in today, this week in time,
so we've just got some blanks for you to jot down notes,
but I encourage you to do that
if you're in the habit of taking notes in the service.
The theme for today's sermon is powerful prayer.
Powerful prayer.
Not just prayer, not just a rote religious exercise,
not just something that you've seen others do
and feel like you should,
but praying, communicating with Almighty God with power.
So that's what we're talking about.
Number one this morning, pray with humility.
Let's look back at the text.
Pray with humility.
For this reason, I kneel before the Father
from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named.
That is Paul's expression of ultimate humility
as he kneels before God.
Daniel did it three times a day.
He would kneel and cry out to his God,
even in the face of imminent danger
as he was breaking the law of the land to do so.
But he was going to prostrate himself before God.
He was going to humble himself before God.
We have seen, even in Scripture
and sometimes throughout Christian history,
men and women who have a close relationship with God
sometimes led to go even a step beyond kneeling
and truly lie down prostrate on their face before God.
Whatever it is that allows you to humble yourself
as you come into communication
with the Master of the universe,
the Creator of all that is,
and the Savior of our souls,
that is what is essential to effectively pray with our Lord.
We must pray with humility.
Psalms chapter 95, the 95th Psalm,
gives us a picture of this.
O come, let us worship and bow down.
Let us kneel before the Lord, our Maker,
for He is our God,
and we are the people of His pasture
and the sheep of His hand.
Remember that we are just sheep.
We are just sheep.
There's a story.
Excuse me.
There's a story I wanted to share with you all,
and I need to pull it back up here for a minute.
Have any of you heard of the story of Palm Monday?
The story of the donkey.
Y'all know about Palm Sunday, right?
When the donkey carried Jesus through the streets of Jerusalem,
everybody was casting palm fronds
and celebrating the coming of the Messiah,
the King that would deliver them from Rome,
even though that's not what He was there to do.
He was there to deliver them from their sins.
But the little donkey,
this fictional story is written about Palm Monday,
what happened the day after.
And the donkey awakened,
his mind still savoring the afterglow
of the most exciting day of his life.
He carried Jesus, right?
Never before had he felt such a rush of pleasure and pride.
He walked into town and found a group of people
by the well.
I'll show myself to them, he thought.
But they didn't notice him.
They went on drawing their water and paid him no mind.
Throw your garments down, he said crossly.
Don't you know who I am?
They just looked at him in amazement.
Someone slapped him across the tail and ordered him to move.
Miserable heathens, he muttered to himself.
I'll just go to the market where the good people are.
They'll remember me.
But the same thing happened.
No one paid any attention to the donkey
as he strutted down the main street in front of the marketplace.
The palm branches!
Where are the palm branches?
He shouted.
Yesterday you threw palm branches.
Hurt and confused,
the donkey returned home to his mother.
Foolish child, she said gently.
Don't you realize that without him,
you're just an ordinary donkey?
Folks, can I remind us that without him,
we're just ordinary donkeys?
Without him, we are just sheep.
Without him, we are nothing.
But with him, we are children of the king.
With him, we are blood-bought.
We are redeemed.
We are valuable.
We are precious in his sight.
We are his treasure.
With him, all things are possible.
But without him, we are nothing.
So it's important to come humbly in prayer.
Number two, pray for God's full power and full love.
We read about this in Ephesians chapter 3 and verse 16.
Pray for God's full power and full love.
Paul writes,
I pray that he may grant you,
according to the riches of his glory,
to be strengthened with power
in your inner being through his spirit,
and that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith.
I pray that you,
being rooted and firmly established in love,
may be able to comprehend with all the saints
what is that length and width
and height and depth of God's love,
and to know Christ's love that surpasses knowledge,
so that you may be filled with all the fullness
for God's full power and full love.
We see two key emphases here in this passage.
It's power and it's love.
So, we're talking about, first of all,
the inner being.
Look back at verse 16.
He says,
I pray that you would be strengthened
with power in your inner being.
If you'll notice something about God,
he's always more concerned with the inside
than he is the outside.
We are generally just the opposite.
We are far more concerned with the outside
than we are the inside
because we're selfish people.
We're self-centered.
We're self-absorbed.
We're self-consumed.
And so, as long as everyone else
looks like everything's fine,
then we don't have to worry about anything else.
As long as everybody is dotting their I's
and crossing their T's
and everything seems fine,
then we're okay
and we don't have to be concerned.
But God is far more concerned
with what's going on in our hearts.
1 Samuel chapter 16.
The Lord does not see as man sees.
For man looks at the outward appearance.
But God, the Lord, looks at what?
The heart.
He looks at the heart.
He cares about what's going on inside.
He cares about not how much we profess
our love for Him,
but how much we truly love Him
on the inside.
From the abundance of the heart,
the mouth speaks.
Eventually,
what goes on on the inside
will come out on the outside.
But man, you can fool people
for a long time, can't you?
You can put on a good face.
Sunday mornings when we all gather together,
we can make it seem like
we've got it all sorted out.
We've got our lives under control.
We're dressed up nicely
and everything looks like it's A-OK.
God knows the truth.
He knows the reality.
And He wants us to live in that space.
He wants us to be real,
be genuine, be authentic.
For a long time,
churches have struggled with that.
Religion has seemingly focused more
on the outward than it has
on what's going on in the heart.
And that's not God's religion.
That's not what Jesus came to do.
He came to save us from the inside out.
And He'll save all of you.
He'll save every bit.
But transformation on the outside
is a lifelong process.
It is a journey called sanctification
in which God is making you
more and more into His image
until someday you cast off
this fleshly, sinful body
and you take on your glorified body.
And we get to live forever
in heaven with Jesus.
That's the good news, right?
That's what we're all looking forward to.
But until that day,
this sanctification process is happening.
But that is more essential
to happen from the inside out
rather than the outside in.
Man, it's hard
to just adapt yourself to something
and truly be transformed.
The transformation happens first
through the power of the Holy Spirit of God
because you and I can't change anybody.
We can try.
Wives, you ever tried to change your spouse?
Don't raise your hand right now.
Please.
We all know the answer.
Of course you have, right?
We need it.
But good luck, right?
We can't really change anybody,
but Jesus can.
The Holy Spirit of God can.
And so that is what we must be content with.
God changing us on the inside.
And then the adaptation happens.
Then the transformation happens visibly.
But God is more concerned with the heart.
So it's all about that inner being.
And then secondly,
under this second point here,
dwell.
Get this concept of dwelling.
Where do we see it?
Back in Ephesians 3, verse 17.
That Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith.
What do we mean by this word dwell?
All right, now I did a study of the Greek.
It's this combination of two words.
I'm not going to dive into a Greek lesson with you today.
I took my four semesters of Greek in college,
and I'm done.
I'm done with that.
All right?
We're not going backwards here.
But it is helpful sometimes to look back.
And the concept that we get behind this word dwell
is settling in.
Putting down roots.
Getting comfortable.
What we've been trying to do in Henrietta
for the last six months.
Dwelling.
That is what Christ wants to do in your heart.
That is what Christ wants to do in your inner being.
Is dwell there.
Make it His home.
Make it His domain.
Rule through His Spirit in your heart and life.
He wants to dwell.
He wants to settle in there.
Colossians chapter 3.
As I was doing my slides,
I realized I use Colossians a lot.
And there's a lot of parallels, I think,
between Ephesians and Colossians.
So we're kind of bouncing back and forth each Sunday
between Ephesians and Colossians.
But here we go.
Colossians 3, verse 15.
Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts.
Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly.
There we have that word again.
Let the word of Christ settle in
and get comfortable in your heart,
in your life.
Let it rule there.
Let it have its way.
You ever had guests over and said,
make yourself at home?
Did you really mean that?
Did you really want them to treat your house
like they would their own home
on an average Tuesday?
Did you want them to leave their shoes on the floor
and, you know, not put things away
and leave the dishes in the sink
and maybe clean up in the morning?
Did you really want them
to make themselves at home, right?
But I think that is exactly
the picture that we get of Christ
embracing the mess that is us on the inside.
The real us.
The real us, right?
Yeah, we're a mess inside.
Yeah, we've got dishes sitting out.
Yeah, we've got a mess to clean up.
Like I said, we put on our best front,
but we know inside things are not always
exactly as we would want them to be.
And that is where Christ wants to dwell.
That's where he wants to live.
That's where he wants to help you
little by little clean up
and morph into his image.
And that's going to be a lifelong process.
So don't get in a hurry.
But Jesus can transform it.
He's telling you,
I'm not scared of the mess.
I know it all.
I know the worst of you,
the worst you'll ever do.
I know the worst you ever could do.
I know what you're capable of.
And I saved all of it.
I transformed all of it.
I redeemed all of it.
I can help you.
Let me dwell.
And then experience love
through this way, being secure.
So what did we have?
The inner being,
dwelling, letting God settle in,
and now experiencing his love.
This was the other part here.
We're talking about power.
We're talking about love.
We experience love,
and we understand that God's love for us
makes us secure.
This is a secure love.
Look back at Ephesians 3 again.
The second part of verse 17.
I pray that you being rooted
and firmly established in love.
Do you notice what it says?
It does not say,
Paul does not tell us,
I want you to be rooted
and firmly established in love.
He says,
I pray that you,
this is why English is so awesome, okay?
I pray that you, comma,
being rooted and firmly established in love,
comma,
so there's a phrase right there.
That's kind of parenthetical.
It's like you could erase it
and the sentence would still stand on its own, okay?
I just lost half of you,
but that's okay.
I pray that you,
skip down,
may be able to comprehend with all saints
what is the length and width,
height and depth of God's love.
Awesome.
But what was that part we skipped?
Being rooted and firmly established in love.
He's saying,
you already are.
You are rooted and firmly established in God's love.
How do we know that?
Because we're His children.
Because we accepted Him.
Now, if you haven't,
then you're not rooted and firmly established in Christ's love.
If there's someone here with us today
who has not yet made that once-in-a-lifetime decision
to put your faith in Jesus
for the forgiveness of your sins
and becoming God's child,
then this doesn't apply to you.
You've got to make that first,
most important decision.
I'm not talking about coming to church.
I'm not talking about cleaning up your life.
I'm not talking about any of those things.
I'm talking about just saying,
I can't help myself.
I need Jesus.
And if you repent from your sin
and turn to Jesus
and believe Him enough,
trust Him enough
to say,
I put all my faith in Him,
then He'll save you from your sins.
He'll cleanse you
and He'll make you His child forever.
So that is the most important thing.
And then,
if you do put your faith in Jesus
and you are His child,
then you're rooted
and firmly established in His love.
And that love is secure.
It's secure forever.
Romans 8 talks about this.
Where are we here?
Would you turn to Romans 8 with me real quick?
Man.
God's love makes us secure.
And God's love is limitless.
That's the second half of this.
And Romans 8 kind of talks about all of it.
The very end of the chapter here.
Verses 38 and 39.
I am persuaded that neither death,
nor life,
nor angels,
nor rulers,
nor things present,
nor things to come,
nor powers,
nor height,
nor depth.
Remember that from over there in Ephesians 3?
The length and width,
the height and depth of God's love?
It says,
nothing,
nor any created thing
will be able to separate us
from the love of God
that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
That's the good news
you come to church to hear about.
That's the good news
that we're reminded of
whenever we open up God's Word.
That is the good news
that God loves us
and nothing can change that.
If you put your faith in Jesus,
He says,
you become His child
and He will never leave you.
He'll never abandon you.
He'll never forsake you.
No one else can change that
and you can't change it either.
You're now part of God's family.
You've been regenerated,
regened into the family of God.
I mean, that's an incredible truth.
And I pray we never get over it.
I pray that never loses its meaning for us.
God's love is secure
and God's love is limitless.
He says He casts our sins as far
as the east is from the west.
You can't get farther than that.
He's forgiven us forever
for everything.
That's His love.
Read about it there in Romans 8.
And then experience this about God's love.
Filling the heart more than the mind.
This is why I use the word experience.
Now sometimes you can get into this experiential Christianity
which focuses on the tangible.
It focuses on the things that you can actually see.
And basically if God's not blessing you
exactly how you want Him to,
then God doesn't love you
or God doesn't value you
and vice versa.
If God is, you know,
giving you money, etc.
It's this prosperity gospel.
Then you'll be rich.
If God loves you
and values you
and you're His child,
then you'll never have a hard time
and you'll always be rich.
I don't see how that kind of thinking,
obviously it doesn't line up
with what the Bible teaches.
I don't see how it could last very long.
You know?
At some point,
that's going to ring very false, right?
Usually it ends up with
something like
send money to me,
the preacher who's telling you all this stuff
so I can buy my second jet
or something like that.
I don't even have one.
I don't know what's wrong with y'all,
but
still waiting on my first jet here.
Somebody's going to buy me
a little matchbox jet
and say,
here you go, preacher.
Thank you.
Anyway,
so experience
is not the most important thing
that we need to rely on.
We need to rely on
what the Word of God says.
That is the foundation
that can't change.
Our experience can be deceiving,
it can fool us,
it can lead us into wrong thinking,
but the Word of God will not.
However,
God is experiential.
God does want you
to experience
His love.
He wants you to experience
His goodness
and not just
fill your mind with it.
He wants to dwell
in your heart
and fill it up
with all these experiences
of God's love
because that is
what's going to matter.
That's what's going to change you
is when He breaks through
to the heart.
It says it surpasses knowledge.
So you can try all day
to understand
who God is,
what He's like,
why He loves us,
and how much He loves us,
and you'll never totally
be able to wrap your mind
around it.
It's beyond human comprehension.
It surpasses knowledge.
But instead,
you can be filled
with the fullness of God
despite not being able
to fully grasp
the height and depth,
the length and width
of God's love
and who God is.
You can still be filled
with His fullness
because we're talking
about the inner being.
We're not just talking
about the mind.
That's why we say
you experience God's love
more in your heart
than your mind.
Andy Stanley,
son of Charles Stanley.
Anybody ever listen
to Charles Stanley
on TV or radio,
read his books,
that kind of thing?
Yeah.
Andy's a little different.
He's gotten into,
you know,
some takes on things
that I don't always
necessarily agree with,
but a lot of the things
he says is valuable
and this one is very important
and key to what
we're talking about today.
Read that again.
Knowledge alone
makes Christians haughty.
Application
makes us holy.
Jesus said,
be holy
for I am holy.
You have to not just know,
not just fill your head,
with Bible knowledge,
with theological understanding,
not just fill your head
with all these facts
about God.
Say, look at me.
I can answer all your
Bible trivia questions
and I can know
exactly how and when
and it happened in the Bible,
but instead,
how is that applying
in your life?
How is that actually
making you more holy?
It happens
when it takes root,
when it's firmly established.
It happens
when you let Christ
dwell in you,
in your heart,
not just your mind.
You understand
the difference there?
We're saved
through faith
in our heart
and that's the exact
same way
that we grow
closer in our relationship
with God
is through the heart.
it's not just the mind.
Yeah, you have to have
understanding
that you are a sinner.
You have to have
understanding
and knowledge
that Jesus did die
on the cross,
that he did rise
from the dead,
that he is willing
and able to save you
if you put your faith
in him for the forgiveness
of your sins.
You have to know
all those things,
but the faith
has to come
from the heart
and nothing changes
after salvation.
That's still
where he wants
to reside.
that's still
where he wants
to dwell
and help you grow.
So knowledge alone
just makes us
proud of ourselves,
just makes us haughty,
but applying it,
that can make us
more like God,
holy.
So,
number three,
we spent a long time
on number two,
but quickly,
number three,
pray with great expectations.
Great expectations.
This finishes out
Ephesians 3,
this finishes out
the first section,
the first half
of the book of Ephesians.
Pray with great expectations.
Look back at verse 20
of Ephesians 3.
Now to him
who is able
to do above
and beyond
all that we ask
or think,
according to the power
that works in us,
to him
be glory in the church
and in Christ Jesus
to all generations
forever and ever.
Amen.
Expect
great things
from God.
Pray with great
expectations.
Expect, number one,
that God is able.
When we pray,
expect
that God
can.
I can't,
but God
can.
Let's say that together.
Ready?
I can't,
but God
can.
Do you believe that?
You believe it in your heart?
Amen.
That is praying
with great expectations.
We know
and we expect
because we believe it
in our heart,
not just in our mind,
but in our heart
by faith
that God
is able.
We see that there
in the very first part
of verse 20.
To him
who is able
to do above
and beyond
all that we ask
or think.
And then secondly,
expect that God
will work in me.
God will work
in me.
Expect that.
Don't expect
how he will work.
Don't expect
what he will do
because that's
putting ourselves
in God's shoes
and determining
what is best.
We don't know
what is best.
We take our
requests to him.
We take our
petitions to him.
We take our
concerns to him.
We take our
annoyances to him.
We take our
fears to him.
We lay all of this
at his feet
and then we say,
God, please work.
And then we expect
that he will work
because we know
he's able.
We believe it.
And so now
we expect him to work.
We see that
in the second part
of verse 20.
According to the power
that works in us.
Where does that power
come from?
It's not you.
It's not me.
It comes from God
in us.
It comes from God
dwelling in us.
So we expect
that God will work
in us.
And then lastly,
we expect
that God
will be glorified.
We expect that
he'll get the glory.
This is praying
with power.
This is praying
biblically.
This is praying
how God wants us
to communicate
with him.
We expect
that he is able.
We expect
that he will work.
And we expect
that he will be glorified.
Verse 21,
to him be all
the glory
in the church
and in Christ Jesus
to all generations
forever and ever.
Amen.
We expect
that he will be glorified.
If he doesn't
get the glory,
then it's not worth doing.
If God
doesn't get
the glory,
then he won't
accomplish it
through us.
It can be a minute thing.
It can be a tiny
little thing.
We're not talking
about significance.
We're talking about
him getting the glory.
It can be
the tiniest little thing.
You lost your keys
somewhere
and you pray for God,
please show me
where my keys are
and he leads you
to them and you say,
thank you God,
you get the glory
for that.
It can be
the simplest
little thing,
but as long
as God
gets the glory,
that's when
he will work.
So we expect
him to get
the glory.
William Carey,
they call him
the father
of modern missions.
We're taking up
an offering today
for the Lottie Moon
Christmas offering
to support missions
around the world
and this was
a man they called
the father
of modern missions,
worked in India
for his entire life
just about
and he said,
expect great things
from God
and then attempt
great things
for God.
If you truly expect
God to do
great things,
then you'll be able
to get past your fear
of attempting
great things.
Not saying the fear
will be gone
completely,
but if you truly
expect from Christ
dwelling in your heart
that you have
great expectations
for God to work,
then you'll go out
and attempt something
great for God.
you'll step out
of your comfort zone
and you'll say,
God, work through me.
Whatever it is,
you'll talk to a family
member about Jesus.
You'll give more
to God's work
than you're used
to giving.
You'll deal
with a broken
relationship that you've
been putting off
for a long time.
Whatever it is,
you'll attempt
great things for God
because you expect
God to work.
So, to recap,
powerful prayer,
what does it look like?
Praying with humility.
Praying for God's
full power
and full love.
And praying
with great
expectations.
What's our
takeaway today?
Ask God
to help you
take the next step
in your prayer life.
Very simple.
But what is it?
What is the next
step for you?
What's the next
step in your
prayer life?
You've got your
regular life.
You've got the life
that everybody sees
and you interact
with people,
but then you have
your personal,
private,
prayer life
with God.
Only two
are a part of that.
You and God.
What's the next
step in your
prayer life?
is it just
praying more?
Is it praying
more with humility?
Is it praying
more for God's
full love,
for His full power?
Is it praying
with more
expectation
for God
to actually work?
What is it
for you
that would
constitute
the next step
in your prayer life?
Would you pray
with me right now?
Would you bow your heads?
Lord,
please show us
what it is
that would be
the next step.
It's going to be
different for
every one of us,
but there is not
a man or a woman
or a child
in this room
today
who does not
need to take
a next step.
I need to.
Everybody in this
church
needs to take
a next step
in their prayer life
with you.
God,
I ask that you
would not leave us
alone,
that your Holy Spirit
would stay on us
continually prompting us
and nudging us
to take that next step.
Maybe it's praying
more regularly
and not going
hours and days
and weeks
at a time
without communicating
with our good Father,
the one who loves us most.
Maybe it's recognizing
that God's not as concerned
with all the outward
that we have
such a hard time with.
He's concerned
with what's going on
on the inside.
Help us to lay that
in your feet.
Leave that in your hands
and say,
God,
please dwell
in my heart.
Dwell in my heart today.
Dwell in my heart
right now.
We'll give you
all the glory for it.
And it's in Jesus' name
we pray.
Amen.
Church,
would you stand
to your feet
if you're able to?
For just a moment,
I'm going to be down front.
If you'd like to come forward
and pray with me.
I forgot to do this
and I don't like
to let a Sunday go by.
So right now,
with everyone
looking up this way,
if there's someone
who doesn't know Jesus
as your Savior
and you'd like
to make a decision
to turn from your sin
and turn to Jesus today,
would you just
slip your hand up real quick
so I can pray for you?
Awesome.
Thank you.
All right.
If that's you,
I'd like you to come down front.
Just step out into the aisle.
Come down front
and meet with me
right down here.
I'll pray with you.
And if there's anybody else
who needs prayer,
how many people
would be able to,
listen,
don't be ashamed.
How many would be able to say,
God spoke to me
about my prayer life
and I need prayer right now.
Would you slip your hand up as well?
Let's pray for each other.
All right.
You can put your hands down.
Use this altar.
You can come pray by yourself.
You can meet me down front,
but use this altar.
If you'd like to join this church
and put your membership here,
meet me down front.
We'll have that conversation as well.
You move as God leads you.
