00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:08,000
Welcome to Healing Scars with Pastor Burton. Here you'll find practical, relevant, biblical information.

2
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:19,000
The Bible will be broken down verse by verse so that you get the full context of the scripture to better grow in your relationship with Jesus.

3
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:25,000
Hey everybody, welcome back to the Sanctuary. It's great to have you with us as always.

4
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:31,000
And for those of you who are joining for the very first time, let me just take a moment to say welcome.

5
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:38,000
Now, you know, as people, we have a lot of pride. We're very proud of a lot of things.

6
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:51,000
You know, overcoming challenges, solving problems, facing fears, accomplishing goals, you know, attaining certain educational markers or life markers or being selected for certain jobs, right?

7
00:00:51,000 --> 00:01:02,000
And I'm the first to admit, as a veteran, you know, veterans, we all carry around an awful lot of pride, don't we?

8
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:12,000
Now, we're not alone in this either, are we? We're seeing more and more of it out in the world today.

9
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:19,000
And we're seeing pride on all fronts. And it's getting to get real ugly out there, isn't it?

10
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:22,000
That's what we're going to be talking about today.

11
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:31,000
You know, for many people, the things we're most proud of often become the things that we define ourselves with, right?

12
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:38,000
For some, it's their education. Oh, I have this degree or that degree or all these certifications.

13
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:45,000
You know, for others, it's that professional or, you know, field that they're in, the profession that they hold.

14
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:58,000
You know, I'm a lawyer, I'm a police officer, I'm a judge, a doctor, a nurse, a pastor, a Marine, a soldier, a sailor, an airman, and so on and so forth and on and on and on.

15
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:03,000
And it's what they talk about. It's what the conversations center around, right?

16
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:10,000
However, this really isn't what we should be allowing to define us.

17
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:15,000
You know, let me let me change the scripture a little bit. Take a look at take a look at it this way.

18
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:23,000
Take away those degrees. Take away those certifications. Who are you?

19
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:35,000
Take away those jobs. You know, those professions. Again, who are you?

20
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:40,000
Take a second. That's actually a good question to write down for those of you who are taking notes.

21
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:46,000
You know, if I was you right now, I'd be writing down who am I?

22
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:53,000
You see, we limit ourselves. We limit ourselves to these tags. We limit ourselves to these labels.

23
00:02:53,000 --> 00:03:05,000
But that isn't who you're supposed to be at your core. There is a point where pride becomes sin.

24
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:21,000
Now, make no mistake about it. We blindly fall into that trap because we slap on these labels and we try to use them to define who we are.

25
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:28,000
And pride, pride is what ends up pulling us away from God.

26
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:34,000
The very thing that we're like, oh, this is so great. And it's what pulls us away.

27
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:39,000
And this goes all the way back to the fall in Genesis.

28
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:48,000
You know, pride is one of the tools that Satan used to trip us up because pride is that card that we pull out.

29
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:54,000
When someone tries to prove us wrong on something, when we get called out on things, right?

30
00:03:54,000 --> 00:04:03,000
Proverbs 16, verse 18, the Bible says pride goes before destruction and haughtiness before a fall.

31
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:11,000
Why? Well, let's start by breaking down the definition of what pride is.

32
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:20,000
You know, in pride, it's an excessively high opinion of oneself, conceit, arrogance, or as Oxford puts it,

33
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:27,000
a feeling of deep pleasure or satisfaction derived from one's own achievements,

34
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:40,000
the achievements of those with whom one is closely associated or from qualities or possessions that are wildly, excuse me, widely admired.

35
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:50,000
Proverbs 29, verse 23, puts it like this. Pride brings a person low.

36
00:04:50,000 --> 00:05:01,000
Pride brings a person low. You see, being proud in and of itself is just fine. It's perfectly all right.

37
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:08,000
We can be proud of things. There are certain things that you should be proud of.

38
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:16,000
However, there is a point when you cross the line and start becoming your own idol.

39
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:22,000
And let's face it, most of us don't even realize it when we're doing it. We don't know that we've gone that far.

40
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:29,000
We become narcissists. Here's an example for you.

41
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:35,000
You know, how about that thought or that ideal that says work just can't get along without you?

42
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:39,000
You know, we've all been there or we all know that person where, you know,

43
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:46,000
they just insist that they have to carry the weight of the world when they're at work and that it just wouldn't function without them.

44
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:57,000
You know, let me remind you just how wrong you are. You die today, someone will be hired to replace you by the end of the week.

45
00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:00,000
Don't let work become another idol either.

46
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:08,000
Enjoy the time you get off because 10 years from now, your employer won't remember and won't care what days you took off.

47
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:18,000
But your family, they will. They will remember all the things you missed, all the things that you couldn't attend

48
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:29,000
because either your work or your self-pride was allowed to take priority.

49
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:36,000
Here's another example. That person is always so quick to call out others on their mistakes, but they won't admit their own.

50
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:43,000
You know, another one, those who like to talk about how they're so humble. Oh, you know, I do this and I do that.

51
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:48,000
And in my humble opinion, the fact of the matter is they aren't.

52
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:55,000
People who are truly humble don't have to point it out. They don't have to call attention to it

53
00:06:55,000 --> 00:07:00,000
because it's already recognized by others around them.

54
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:06,000
You know, people who are resistant to receiving help or, you know, being critiqued.

55
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:09,000
The list goes on and on.

56
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:14,000
And when you think about it, there's an awful lot of conflict out there today, isn't there?

57
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:19,000
We all know those people who seem to gravitate towards it.

58
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:22,000
They're always at odds with others.

59
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:27,000
You know, things just never seem to be going right.

60
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:29,000
Now, I'm not talking about like you're every day frustrated.

61
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:35,000
You know, life's going to be frustrating sometimes, but you know, there's those people that they just they gravitate towards it.

62
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:38,000
They make it the center of everything, right?

63
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:41,000
They're so negative.

64
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:47,000
You know, they're always at odds with others, and it all comes down to a matter of pride.

65
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:55,000
There is not a single argument, conflict, or fight in the history of mankind that hasn't started

66
00:07:55,000 --> 00:08:00,000
because of someone's pride being offended at some point.

67
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:06,000
Because pride convinces us that we're better than we are.

68
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:10,000
That we are more entitled than we are.

69
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:15,000
If you turn to Luke chapter 18 verses 9 through 14.

70
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:21,000
So Luke 18, 9 through 14, the Bible tells us that the parable of the Pharisee and the tax collector.

71
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:22,000
And let's take a look at it real quick.

72
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:26,000
So again, that's Luke 18 verses 9 through 14.

73
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:38,000
And it says, To some who were confident of their own righteousness and looked down on everyone else, Jesus told this parable.

74
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:44,000
Two men went up to the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector.

75
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:48,000
The Pharisee stood by himself and prayed,

76
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:54,000
God, I thank you that I am not like the other people.

77
00:08:54,000 --> 00:09:01,000
Robbers, evildoers, adulterers, or even like this tax collector.

78
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:07,000
I fast twice a week and give a tenth of all I get.

79
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:09,000
But the tax collector stood at a distance.

80
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:12,000
He would not even look up to heaven.

81
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:18,000
But beat his breast and said, God, have mercy on me, a sinner.

82
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:25,000
I tell you that this man rather than the other went home justified before God.

83
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:32,000
For all those who exalt themselves will be humbled and those who humble themselves will be exalted.

84
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:36,000
You see, the Pharisee was so proud.

85
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:46,000
He was so prideful that he didn't realize that everything that he had just said was totally wrong.

86
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:52,000
He placed himself so high on the pedestal, he didn't realize just how far he was from God.

87
00:09:52,000 --> 00:10:00,000
And this is because he, just like the rest of us, was blinded to his own faults.

88
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:09,000
Just like in Ephesians 2 verses 11 through 13, when the Jews and the Gentiles both viewed themselves as superior to one another

89
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:13,000
and still failed to see where they were failing themselves.

90
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:17,000
They failed to see their own sin, where they were going wrong.

91
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:23,000
And when this happens, people start to think that they're untouchable.

92
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:26,000
You know, it's no different today than it was back then.

93
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:32,000
People start to think that they're untouchable, that they're entitled to certain treatments.

94
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:40,000
That certain sins are now permissible because they've quote unquote earned it.

95
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:47,000
You know, as many of you know, I spent a part of my life in law enforcement and working in the criminal justice community for years.

96
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:54,000
I could tell you there's something to the stereotype of people trying to use their job as an escape clause.

97
00:10:54,000 --> 00:11:04,000
You know, oh, I'm a doctor, I'm a lawyer, I know the mayor, my spouse is a cop, my parent pays your wages, I'll have you fired.

98
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:09,000
You know, we like to think that these are things that are just said in TV shows and movies, but they're not.

99
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:15,000
These are actual things that law enforcement officers hear.

100
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:20,000
And I'll tell you, these things don't get these people off.

101
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:28,000
You know, often they push harder and it's not uncommon for them to end up with even more charges.

102
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:38,000
Even going back to my time in the military, you know, here's something that anyone in the military who's ever stood duty or worked in military law enforcement has said at least once.

103
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:43,000
Don't confuse your rank with my authority.

104
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:46,000
That's a popular one.

105
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:54,000
It's used as a punchline on a lot of jokes, but you know, in the military, you know, we like to say, you know, the duty has no friends and it's true.

106
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:59,000
You're in a position of authority there. You have a certain task that you have to uphold.

107
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:04,000
You know, you have a certain job that you have to do.

108
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:12,000
The people still try to weasel their way out. They don't want to admit to their own mistakes, their own shortcomings.

109
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:16,000
See, here's here's when the problem comes into play.

110
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:23,000
We fall into the same trap just like Samson did.

111
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:33,000
In Judges Chapter 15, verses 14 through 19, the Lord's strength was placed upon Samson, right?

112
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:35,000
Samson was blessed.

113
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:45,000
And he went through because of this and he killed a thousand men with a donkey's jawbone.

114
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:50,000
And after he did this, he touted, you know, he tutored his own horn.

115
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:52,000
You know, he's beating his own chest.

116
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:54,000
It's like, look at all that I've done.

117
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:56,000
This is all me.

118
00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:59,000
I did this.

119
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:04,000
He took the Lord's glory.

120
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:13,000
And even at a certain point, you know, he started to wallow in his own self pity because he was thirsty.

121
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:19,000
And he didn't have a drink delivered to him fast enough for his liking.

122
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:22,000
He's like, oh, you know, I did all this. Am I not worthy?

123
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:26,000
You know, a little pity party, trying to make others feel sorry for him.

124
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:36,000
You know, speaking out as if he was so great and mighty that the Lord himself needed to actually cater to him, bend the knee to him.

125
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:40,000
I'll tell you right now, right now, none of us is that high and mighty.

126
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:42,000
We all bend our knee to the Lord.

127
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:46,000
Every tongue will profess as biblical, right?

128
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:48,000
We know this.

129
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:55,000
You see, he failed to see that the credit and the glory, the blessing of his strength and everything that he was able to do.

130
00:13:55,000 --> 00:14:00,000
He was all to the glory of the Lord.

131
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:08,000
And just as he was a force to be reckoned with, he soon saw that he was knocked down.

132
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:10,000
He was taken off that pedestal.

133
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:12,000
He wasn't just taken down a peg.

134
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:16,000
He was taken off the horse completely.

135
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:26,000
You see, when people believe that they're in that high place, they're quick to anger when things aren't going to their liking or they're not going the way that they want.

136
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:31,000
The slightest thing is seen as a threat and their pride is wounded.

137
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:35,000
Oh, what was me?

138
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:38,000
Numbers, Chapter 22, Verse 29.

139
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:41,000
The Bible shows exactly how people respond to this.

140
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:46,000
So Numbers 22, Verse 29, the Bible says, You have made a fool of me.

141
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:52,000
If only I had a sword in my hand, I would kill you right now.

142
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:58,000
Pride is indeed a dangerous thing.

143
00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:07,000
Not only do we allow ourselves to be hurt, but it drives us to wanting to hurt others or worse.

144
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:17,000
Remember, the Bible does tell us, you know, if you harbor hatred in your heart for your brother or your sister, you've committed murder in your heart.

145
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:28,000
Keeping that in mind, add alcohol or some other substance to the situation and you suddenly find yourself with a ticking time bomb on your hands, right?

146
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:33,000
It's going to get real ugly real fast.

147
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:35,000
Pride takes us away from God.

148
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:40,000
It hurts our relationship with him.

149
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:48,000
Psalm 10, Verse 11, the Bible says, He says to himself, God will never notice.

150
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:52,000
He covers his face and never sees.

151
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:57,000
The prideful are so blinded by their own sin.

152
00:15:57,000 --> 00:16:06,000
I said they think that they're entitled to suddenly start doing these things that they weren't allowed to before because of their elevated status that they feel that they're in, right?

153
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:12,000
That God is suddenly just going to turn away from it and not see it.

154
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:15,000
But that's not the case.

155
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:19,000
Pride and God are incompatible.

156
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:22,000
They do not go together.

157
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:30,000
And when that pride boost us up and we become so arrogant and so entitled that we believe we're so great and we deserve all this stuff.

158
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:37,000
Well, quite simply, we've become an idol to ourselves.

159
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:43,000
We don't see the disconnect between ourselves and God.

160
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:45,000
It's a tough pill to swallow, but guess what?

161
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:48,000
We all need to swallow that at some point.

162
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:52,000
See, we think we could do it all.

163
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:57,000
And that others need us to do things for them.

164
00:16:57,000 --> 00:16:59,000
It's all about us at that point.

165
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:03,000
You know, that whole, you know, world of me.

166
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:05,000
And this goes against God's character.

167
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:12,000
Instead, we need to realize that God does all things that we do, you know, just like the Philippians.

168
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:14,000
It says, you know, I can do all things through Christ strengthens me.

169
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:15,000
Right.

170
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:18,000
It's because God does all these things.

171
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:19,000
God empowers us.

172
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:23,000
God gives us a strength and we need him.

173
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:24,000
We don't do it.

174
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:27,000
It's not us.

175
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:30,000
It is God working through us.

176
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:36,000
We cannot allow our pride, our sin to keep us from repenting of it.

177
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:38,000
We had to talk to Jesus.

178
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:39,000
Now, you know, this is hard.

179
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:40,000
It could be very hard.

180
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:41,000
Tough.

181
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:44,000
It could be downright embarrassing.

182
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:46,000
However, it's what we're called to do.

183
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:50,000
Second Corinthians, Chapter seven, verse 11.

184
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:58,000
After the church had repented and taken Paul's corrective action, Paul commended their growth.

185
00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:04,000
The Bible says, See what this godly sorrow has produced in you.

186
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:07,000
What earnestness, what eagerness to clear yourselves.

187
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:12,000
What indignation, what alarm, what longing, what concern.

188
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:17,000
What readiness to see justice done.

189
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:24,000
At every point you have proved yourselves to be innocent of this matter.

190
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:33,000
You see, when we recognize our sin or our pride gets called out by others, right, we have to stop and we have to evaluate.

191
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:39,000
As Christians, we need to take that wake up call and we need to take a good long look.

192
00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:51,000
We need to hear that critique, that criticism and look at it not as a threat, but as an opportunity to grow.

193
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:53,000
Because we all have room to grow.

194
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:55,000
We all have room to mature.

195
00:18:55,000 --> 00:19:00,000
And sometimes there are growing pains.

196
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:07,000
But even though that pain is there, there is still growth.

197
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:15,000
And with that growth, this is an indication that you're becoming a mature Christian.

198
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:17,000
We all have areas that we need to mature in.

199
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:19,000
We're more mature in one area than we are in another.

200
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:22,000
So we all have room for growth.

201
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:30,000
And when this happens, we need to thank Jesus not only for guiding us through the change that we needed in our lives and helping us to get through this,

202
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:35,000
but for helping us to learn from it as well.

203
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:39,000
Our struggles and Jesus helping us in them.

204
00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:43,000
That's where we start to find our testimony.

205
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:47,000
Our testimony, the things that Jesus has done in our lives, the things that we get to share with others.

206
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:53,000
It's like, you know what, hey, I did this, I was messing up and Jesus helped me through.

207
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:56,000
Shining that light in the darkness, right?

208
00:19:56,000 --> 00:20:08,000
Henry Newman identifies three lies that the enemy tries to convince us of when they're attacking our pride.

209
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:11,000
Three things.

210
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:15,000
One, we are what we have.

211
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:23,000
You know, you have that house, those cars, you know, the clothes, you know, all the stuff, the video games.

212
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:26,000
Nope.

213
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:28,000
Two, we are what we do.

214
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:31,000
This goes back to that profession, that job, right?

215
00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:33,000
This is what I do for a living.

216
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:34,000
Is that who you are?

217
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:37,000
Nope.

218
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:41,000
And three, we are what others say we are.

219
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:44,000
Oh, a lot of pride gets in there, right?

220
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:48,000
Trying to live up to the standards of others.

221
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:52,000
Trying to do all the things that the influencers say that we should be doing.

222
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:56,000
You know, this is what the cool kids are doing.

223
00:20:56,000 --> 00:21:01,000
The reality is, that's not true either.

224
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:07,000
We are who God says we are.

225
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:08,000
Let me say that again.

226
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:12,000
We are who God says we are.

227
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:20,000
As Christians, we should be defined as children of God.

228
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:27,000
And this is in our words and our deeds for the world to see.

229
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:39,000
After all, at the end of your time here on earth, the only thing that will define you is whether or not you believed and have given yourself over as a follower of Jesus Christ.

230
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:45,000
Because nobody else will be standing there with you before the Father.

231
00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:55,000
Not your friends, not your mom, not your dad, not your dog, not your cat, not that platoon sergeant you had years ago.

232
00:21:55,000 --> 00:22:00,000
It will be you and him.

233
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:06,000
So I encourage you all, spend some time in reflection.

234
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:14,000
Look deep down inside and find that pride that we all have, because we all have pride in there.

235
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:20,000
When you find it, even if you're having trouble finding it, ask Jesus for help with that too.

236
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:27,000
But ask Jesus to help with the changes you need in your heart.

237
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:40,000
Ask Jesus to guide you through the changes that you need to make in your life, so that his light shines for others to see.

238
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:47,000
Remember, you are loved and you are blessed. Now go and be the church.

239
00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:52,000
