Welcome. If you're new here, just know that's
not something we take lightly. If you're here
and you're going, man, I always refer to it personally
as just like the dating phase. You know what
I mean? You're dating the church to figure out
if we smell or if we've got any weird habits
or that kind of stuff. If we're going to leave
you with the bill, that kind of thing. But just
know you being here, I personally believe it's
by design. I don't think you're here by chance.
And I don't think that you being here is just
another Sunday. Like you stepped into, I don't
know if you realize this or not, but you stepped
into a moment that can pass us by if we let it.
And we have to move slowly enough to see the
moment. Here's what I mean. You step into a room
of people and normally in a group this size and
in a space like this, there's a variety of people.
Some have said yes to Jesus. Some are still navigating
and going, man, I like this Jesus. I don't know
if I can trust him. Some are like opposed to
Jesus and you're here to just prove why you're
opposed to Jesus, that kind of thing. And so
it can be easy to miss what just happened. But
we have the gift. It's a gift to come in and
be able to sit next to other people that are
all in different places on the journey, but to
hear those who are ahead of you on the journey,
to raise their voice. and not be afraid to raise
their voice. And maybe they raised their hands
and you're like, well, that's weird. Why are
they raising their hands? It's not a concert.
Do that at a concert. But the idea that you were
here and you got to experience people going,
there is no one else. And like they're saying
it from the sense of conviction, church. There
is no one else who is worthy, who matches up
to. Who has greater value than the person of
Jesus. And you got to experience that. We get
to experience that together. Do you realize that
in that song, one of the lines that I love in
that song is that you get to do something that
not even the angels can do. I don't know if you
caught it or not. But that song, right, like
what it is speaking about is what Jesus has done
for you, what Jesus has purchased for you, that
you were lost and now you are found, right? That
you had no standing with God and because of the
person of Jesus, you're made right with God.
That your future eternally is secure in the person
of Jesus. And so that creates in you a thanks.
Can you believe just the cosmic story? That a
God would love you enough and love me enough
that he would show up in person and do for us
what we cannot do for ourselves, pay a debt that
we couldn't pay, right? That we would be given
this life and given this moment and put into
this room with other people to go, no one else
is worthy. You know what your no one else is
worthy is? It's just a thanks. It's gratitude.
And you know who can't do that? The angels. Because
they haven't even experienced that for themselves.
They got to watch you and watch God pursue you
and watch God love you enough to show up so that
you could stand in a room and go, no one else
is worthy, only Jesus. That's the privilege.
Think about it. I don't think as you were singing,
maybe you were, but I don't think anybody was
going, who else is worthy? And you're like, me.
I'm worthy, right? It's not happening. The collective
voice is raising and going, no, no, no. Don't
let your eyes settle here. Don't let your eyes
settle here. Get your eyes to what really matters.
I don't think anybody was singing worried about
someone coming through the door because you mentioned
the name Jesus in a public space and now your
life, we may not make it out of here. I don't
think anybody's worried about it. We have a gift.
We have such a freedom. This is a... This is
such a gift and such a freedom to be able to
come in here together and not be worried about
someone coming in because you said the name of
Jesus in a public space. What a gift. What a
moment. And we've got to learn how to slow down
and cherish and nourish that and go, man, let
it feed your soul for the rest of the week. That's
the value of what this is. And it's this beautiful
moment. And sometimes we treat it like just another
latte. It's just another church service. I just
gotta make it through an hour. Church is boring.
Meanwhile, what just happened in this room is
resonating throughout the caverns of heaven.
I assume there's caverns there. It's resonating
and resounding in the very presence of God. And
it was your voice because only you can bring
your voice in the presence of God. And this isn't
in my notes, so we probably should move on. In
Matthew 13, 44, Jesus tells the story. And the
story is framed in... that the kingdom of heaven
is like. Okay, so it's this idea of the kingdom
of heaven. It's God's rule and reign, his domain.
And this is what it's like. And then it goes
on to tell the story of a man who went to a field.
And when he got to the field, he discovered that
the field had a treasure. And it says that he
took that treasure and he hid the treasure. Now
in that culture, for you to hide the treasure
was for you to protect it. So what we first see
about this man is as he comes, his actions change
determined by the value that he found within
the treasure. And he hides it and he protects
it. And it says that he goes away and he gets
back to all of his stuff. All of the stuff that
once carried this high value for him. He gets
back to it and it says that he sells it all.
The things that had captured his heart at one
point that meant so much. He sells it all and
he goes back to the field and he buys the field
because he knows the treasure, the value that
the field holds. When you find something that
you value, it changes the way that you live.
When you find something that you value, When
you find something that is so worth it, something
that you just can't live without, something that
has such meaning and value and beauty, that all
of a sudden it changes the way you interact with
everything else. Maybe even things that you once
felt were valuable, you now live differently
towards them because of what you found. That's
the essence of what Galatians chapter five is
leading us into. And over the next two weeks,
at least, we're gonna spend some time just looking
at Galatians five. And today, what I'd love to
do is just kind of give you a lens and kind of
a framework that we're gonna look over the next
few weeks at Galatians five through. Because
what we find in Galatians 5 is it's Paul trying
to help the church in Galatia through this letter
to go, hey, how do you live this life? How now
do you live this life when everything has changed?
And so he starts out in verse 1. He says this.
It is for freedom that Christ has set us free.
has set us free. What is the purpose of the whole
cosmic story? What is the purpose of the grand
narrative of this God who would leave heaven,
that would become a man, that would go to a cross,
that would suffer and die, taking the sin of
the world, my sin, your sin, on him, leaving
it in a tomb, rising again, death defeated, sin
defeated. What is the purpose of this whole story?
Your freedom. is the purpose of the entire cosmic
story. It is for freedom that Christ did what
he did. Why? So that you could be free. Now,
when we talk about freedom, we have to be careful
because we can easily associate freedom in this
passage to, well, that's political freedom. At
this time, this world was not free. It was under
the oppression of the Roman Empire. So the world
was not politically free. So Paul can't possibly
mean political freedom that you've been saved
for. We enjoy political freedom, but I wouldn't
count on political freedom, right? Like we look
at things like, well, it's economical freedom,
right? Like come to Jesus and everything gets
better and you get rich. That's a terrible gospel
and is not true. How do I know it? Look back
at the people that lived this out. Lots of them
lived in poverty. They lost their business circles.
They lost their social circles. They were worse
off for saying yes to Jesus, not better. And
so what happens here then, what happens here
is the freedom has to mean something else, that
you have been set free. You have been set free.
And it has to be in a much larger sense of what
God's doing in the universe. And then it says
specifically, says specifically something about
you. That it is for freedom that Christ has set
us free. That's identity. That's who you are.
I don't know if you feel that today or not, but
that's who you are right here, right now. You
are free because of the person of Jesus Christ.
Well, what am I free from? What does this look
like? So what I'd love to do is, kind of create
this framework. But the framework is born out
of maybe taking a picture from football, if we
can, okay? So if you don't like football, maybe
daydream for a minute, come back. So in football,
imagine, let's make it a high stakes game, Super
Bowl. And the Steelers are in the Super Bowl.
I told you, we're daydreaming, we're daydreaming,
right? But you're in this game, right? And you
receive the playbook of the other team. I mean,
every single play that they're going to do for
that game, every single one, they're not going
to deviate from it. They're going to run this
plan. And so you look at it and play number one
is they're going to run a draw to the right side.
What do you do with your defense? You stack the
what? Right side. Why? Because that's where they're
going to attack. And so you stack your right
side and you defeat them. Right? We understand
it in a sports context. What we're given here
by Paul. is we're given the cheat code, if you
like, the way to live, the way to live in this
life, right here, right now, because he reveals
the enemy's plan through what he's saying. What
do I mean by that? Well, we're gonna use a couple
of phrases. We'll use them over the next couple
of weeks. But on one side of this, you've got
the phrase no longer, right? So no longer refers
to who you are. are. Here's what I mean, right?
The context of Galatians has been this idea of
slavery, like that you've got to work hard, you've
got to earn it, you've got to gain it. And Paul's
coming along and going, in Christ, you have been
set free. You no longer are under that. You no
longer are under all these rules and regulations
to try and earn God's favor. He goes, you're
free from that. So what happens is what was true
of me is I was a slave. I was a slave to having
to perform. I was a slave to having to earn my
own worth and try and get a good standing with
God. That's who I used to be. I'm no longer that.
Why? Because now I am free. And so what happens
is you follow this all the way through, right?
You didn't have a right standing with God. You
had no relationship. In fact, you were guilty
before God. Jesus shows up, dies on the cross,
and what's now transferred to you on your life
is that you are no longer guilty, right? So what
was true is I was guilty. I am now no longer
guilty. I am now not guilty because of the blood
of Jesus. And you continue to follow this through.
The idea of I've got to work and earn God's forgiveness.
So on one side, I've got, I'm unforgiven. Well,
in Jesus, you are no longer unforgiven. You guys,
you realize right now, right now, today, even
with all the feels you got, you will never be
more forgiven than you are right now. You'll
never be more forgiven. How do I know that? Because
in the droplets of blood from God himself on
a cross, it says that he paid for all of your
sin. All of it, past, present, future. It was
all paid for. So what that tells me today is
you are no longer unforgiven. You are forgiven.
What was true of you is no longer true. Why?
Because of the person of Jesus. The idea of self
-worth, right? That I earn my own worth, that
I earn my own standing with God, that's no longer
true. Why? Because now I have Jesus' worth. What
Jesus did for me, that gives me worth, right?
The idea of self -effort, right? That I just
gotta work hard enough, strive hard enough, do
enough good things. Can we just talk about something
for a second? When somebody tells you, well,
you're not a very good Christian, you know what
I want you to tell them? That's not in the Bible.
That phrase is not in the Bible. But somehow
we associated it with, okay, there's good Christians
and there's bad Christians. Well, I guess I'm
just a bad. No, no, you know what the Bible has?
People who believe Jesus died for them on the
cross and they become sons and daughters and
people that don't. Right? That's it. It's that
simple. You either are a follower of the way.
You are, in the term we use as Christian, you
either are that because you put your faith, trust,
and hope in the person of Jesus and what he's
done, or you don't. But this whole idea of there's
good and there's bad, all that is is me trying
to get self -effort to be in the good category.
That's no longer true of you. Why? Because you
have Jesus' effort. What gives me any standing,
any worth? It's not what I've done. It's what
he's done. And the sooner we wrap our heads around
this, the sooner we begin to understand where
we actually live. And so on the one side, you
have this idea of this is no longer true. All
these things that once were true of me. They're
no longer true. You're no longer a slave. You're
free. You're no longer guilty. You're not guilty.
You no longer don't have a standing with God.
You have a right standing with God. At one point
in your life, you were trying to earn God's favor.
You don't have to. You already have God's favor
and you're in grace. Right? All of a sudden I
stand on this side where my entire identity is
changed. What's also true on the other side,
you'll see another phrase that says not yet.
And what not yet is this, that you have an inheritance
that is promised for you in eternity. That your
inheritance, what the idea of heaven, the new
heavens, the new earth, right? Like in everything
that that brings, your complete identity, because
you may stand here and especially next week when
we get into the idea of I'm not being a slave
to sin, right? Like not living for my own desires
and passions. You may go, well, I know that's
true, but I don't feel that, right? That doesn't
change that it's true. It means you just don't
feel it. What is true of you is that you have
been set free for how long? All of eternity,
right? Like what's true of you, what's true of
you is that your right standing with God lasts
for all of eternity, void of how you feel here
and void of what you experience in life. Your
inheritance, that you are a son and you are a
daughter means that you're a co -heir with Jesus,
that everything that is promised to Jesus is
promised to you. That's all in eternity. But
here's the thing. How do I know it's not yet?
Well, it tells me in eternity, there's no more
death. Anybody experiencing death still? Right?
There's no more pain. Anybody experiencing pain?
That tells me what? We're not there yet. So what's
true of you is your identity is completely changed
and I'm still not in eternity with God yet. So
that leaves this. You are in the in -between
life. I'm living in between. I have a complete
new identity, but I'm in the in -between life
because I'm not yet in eternity. I'm not yet
face to face. I'm still living by faith. I'm
not living by sight yet. And here's what the
enemy knows. Ready? This is the enemy's kind
of game plan. The enemy knows. He cannot change
your identity. He cannot change who you are,
who Jesus has made you. He can't touch that.
Everybody excited about that? He can't touch
it. What I mean by that is this. He can't come
to you and go, oh, you think you're not guilty?
Ah, I'm gonna say you're guilty. He can't change
that. That's your identity before God, your right
standing. Oh, you think you have a relationship
with God? I'm gonna change that. You don't have
a relationship anymore. He can't change that.
Oh, you're free? No, you're not. You're a slave.
He can't change that. Oh, you think you're forgiven?
No, you're not. You're unforgiven. The enemy
cannot change that. He does not have that power
over your life. Only God has the right and the
power to tell you who you are in Jesus. And he
paid for it to be true. So in this context, the
enemy can't do anything to change your identity.
Your identity is given by God in the person of
Jesus. Now, what the enemy also knows is that
you have an inheritance and a future and he can't
touch it. Your inheritance is secure. He doesn't
get to go, oh no, we're revoking your past. He
doesn't have that power. The enemy is so dumb.
It's okay to call the enemy dumb. He's not that
big and scary. I know the creator. He's a little
bigger. But the enemy still thinks he can win.
But I got a story that tells me that Jesus wins.
So what is the enemy doing? If he knows he can't
win, what is he doing? Well, he's going to get
whatever he can. What can he get? He can't get
your identity. He can't get the no longer. He
can't get your future. But he can get the in
-between life. And that's what Paul is writing
about in this section. He is writing about the
in -between life. How do you live in the in -between
where you have been set free? How do you navigate
this life? And so he goes on and he says, in
that verse, he says, stand firm then, stand firm
then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again
by a yoke of slavery. Stand firm then. What does
stand firm mean? It means become who you are.
Become who you are. Become who you're going to
be. So in between, what he's saying is don't
let the enemy pull you back and convince you
of things that are no longer true of you. Don't
let the enemy pull you back and tell you things
that aren't true of who you are, that God's upset
with you because you did that last night. God's
not upset with you. Why? Because when he looks
at you, he sees the person of Jesus and he sees
his sacrifice and what he has done and your standing
has not changed before God just because you chose
to do something. Isn't it funny how twisted we
get this, you guys? I don't know what kind of,
maybe you're not churched and there's a blessing
to that, trust me. I've been in church for as
long as I can remember. Swore I would never do
this. God had different plans. I can remember
going to Sunday school as a little kid. Worst
name ever for kids' church, by the way. No kid
likes to go to school on the weekend. But we
had Sunday school. And you would show up, and
you know what? If you showed up with your Bible,
guess what would happen? You got a gold star.
If I showed up, and I could say the Bible verse
from the week before, that was two gold stars.
And then guess what? If I had perfect attendance
for whatever block of time that was set, that
was another gold star. And if you got just enough
gold stars, you got a reward. Now, I'm not knocking
anybody that did that culture, grew up in that
culture, whatever. But isn't it fascinating that
what was connected to me is if I do these things,
I will earn what? I will earn some kind of favor.
Now, translate that to a grown man. I have my
prayer time this morning. I'm closer to God.
No, I'm not. I couldn't be closer to God than
I already am. The prayer time is just an expression
of love in the relationship that I have with
God. Isn't it funny? Like we get up and we're
like, ooh, I got my French press. It's already
going to be a good morning or whatever your coffee
of choice is. And I got some quiet time and I
opened my Bible and I actually read a chapter,
a whole chapter today. Oh, God's got to be like,
we're just, we're tight today. You were tight
before you ever started the coffee. But it's
subtle, right? It's subtle what the enemy wants
to do. The enemy wants to shift. So instead of
my time with Jesus being, I have found something
so valuable that everything else taints to it.
So why wouldn't I spend time with what I value?
And so now the reading of my Bible is so that
I can get to know this God. There's so much value
and beauty inside of it that now when I sit with
my Bible, it's about understanding him and seeing
him and understanding his heart and letting that
change me. But what the enemy will want to do
is what? Shift it back to, ah, attaboy, good
job. I think it's interesting that it's just
wired, and we'll talk about it next week, but
it's wired inside of us to earn God's approval.
It's wired inside of us to think that God is
mad. that God is upset, that he is angry, when
all that's flowed from the very throne of God
is deep, passionate, pursuing love. You're so,
I'm not preaching this in a, woo, look at you,
you're amazing. I'm preaching this from God's
perspective. You are so valuable to him that
he cannot live without you. And what does the
enemy wanna do? The enemy wants to, his battle
plan is if he can get you to forget who you are
and what you've been given and forget the God
that loves you and convince you otherwise, in
the middle, you will live like you don't even
know Jesus on the other side, which is why he
says what he says next. Mark my words, I, Paul,
tell you, That if you let yourselves be circumcised,
that idea of circumcised is that you're still
trying to earn God's favor. You're still trying
to self -effort this thing. You're still trying
to self -worth this thing. Christ will be of
no value to you at all. The enemy knows. The
enemy knows, you guys, that if he can get you,
if he can get you to believe the lies, to believe
that the things that were who you were pre -Christ,
pre -Jesus, If you can believe those and live
in the middle like those things are true, he
knows that you devalue Jesus with your life because
your life will be about you. Think about it for
a second. The idea of self -worth, who are my
eyes on? Me, you guys, I can remember so many
times in my life where communion would happen
and I would have instant feelings of guilt and
shame and unworthiness. I can remember like sitting
in communion, going through this list of what
the last two days have been, let alone the last
week and being like, God, I'm so sorry. I just
need your forgiveness. And all the while, all
the while, a moment that should have been my
eyes being on Jesus and his worth and how valuable
he is and what he has done for me became how
wretched I am and my eyes are on me and how I
got to beg for this and I got to prove myself
to God and then he will. That is not, that is
not, that's the enemy getting in and going, hey,
you're believing the wrong thing because truth
is he has already done it and there's nothing
left to get. And so the enemy wants to convince
you what? If the enemy can convince you that
you live like you used to be, then guess what?
Christ has no value to you. You devalue him.
The other thing that the enemy will do, and we'll
talk about this more next week, but the enemy
wants you to believe that your future isn't secure.
The enemy wants you to believe, he wants you
to forget, right? Think about it for a second.
If you really get an idea of heaven and being
with God, and you really get an idea of what
the kingdom of heaven is like, then you long
for it. You can't wait to be face to face and
not walk by faith anymore, but walk by sight.
You can't wait for a space where there is no
death and there is no pain. Like it just becomes
this deep passion of yours that all of a sudden
when I see what is ahead, when I see the future,
when I see what God has promised, all the things,
just like the man with the field, all of a sudden
they don't look so good. All of a sudden, in
light of the universe and what God is doing in
the grand narrative, in the light of my future,
all of a sudden I don't try and get that house.
Because it doesn't matter. All of a sudden, it's
not about trying to find the right person and
always trading up. All of a sudden, it's not
about getting the best experience of this world
and wringing it for everything it has. It doesn't
matter. It loses its value. It's not there anymore.
And if the enemy can convince you to get your
eyes on earth instead of eternity, then you will
live the in -between trying to collect everything
you possibly can here, trying to hold on to it
with everything you've got. You realize, right,
you're gonna get old. You're gonna get old. And
what's crazy is in our culture, you can get shots
for that. I don't mean drinking shots. That would
be one way of doing it. Right? I can get an injection
that pulls my face up a little bit. I can do
these things to try and stay young forever. The
problem is you're not going to stay young forever.
And 20 years from now, it's not going to look
so good because your face is going to be all
tight and nothing else is. You realize wrinkles
are beautiful. Wrinkles prove that you have lived
a life worth living. Wrinkles, wrinkles prove
that you are that much closer to eternity. And
that is a good thing because this place sucks.
We just got to put it in perspective. We hold
on to this like, oh, this is amazing. It's not
even a shadow of what's to come. And at some
point we have to realize. That if the enemy can
convince you that this is worth holding on to,
right? Versus going, I'm letting go because I
know my inheritance. When you can let go and
you see some of these people and you're around
them, you're like, it's like they don't care.
Why? Because what they've learned, what they've
learned is in the in -between, in the in -between,
only one thing matters. Look at verse six with
me. For in Christ Jesus, neither circumcision
nor uncircumcision has any value. So all he's
saying, you might be going, if you're new to
this whole thing, you missed a couple of weeks,
why are we talking about circumcision? This is
weird, right? Okay, so in their culture, in their
tradition, their religious tradition, there was
a belief that to be in the in crowd, to be closer
to God, then this had to happen, right? And so
what he's getting at is neither of those things
actually matter. right? Like your self -effort,
whether you do it this way or that way, none
of that matters. Your to -do list of how do I
be good? How do I make God happy? None of that
matters. Listen to what he says, how we should
live. The only thing, okay, if I say only, this
is the only thing. Pretty pointed, right? The
only thing, the only thing that counts. is faith
expressing itself through love. The only thing
in this in -between life, between my new identity
in Christ, this in -between and what is to come
in eternity, the only thing that counts is that
by faith, I reject. The enemy's battle plan.
By faith, I go, this is who I am in Christ. I
am no longer a slave. I am no longer guilty.
I am no longer separated from God. I am no longer
have to work my own way there. Like all of that,
that's no longer true. By faith, I have to accept
that I am free today. That God looks at you and
he is pleased with you today. That he looks at
you and because of his son, you are forgiven
today. That he looks at you and he declares you
not. I'm not guilty because of Jesus. By faith,
I have to accept that, right? And when I accept
that and I'm living in this middle, by faith,
I have to look at his future and what he writes.
And by faith, I accept that this world is not
my home. The new heavens and new earth someday.
But today, this old earth is groaning. It's falling
apart. And by faith, I have to believe that this
is the story I live inside of. And when, when
I grasp that, it says, how do you do? What do
you do next? You express. What is an expression?
It is to put into visual form. How do I put all
of this into visual form? How do I live in my
day to day? It says by what? By love. By love.
By love. You see, something amazing happens when
you reject the enemy's plan and you see yourself
as Jesus sees you. All of a sudden, I have nobody
to impress and nobody to prove anything to. All
of a sudden, I don't have to collect all this
stuff for here. Guess what I get to do? I'm not
worried about me anymore. I'm worried about the
expression of Jesus that is seen through me.
And so now I start to love the person next to
me. Now I start to love those in my family circle.
Now I start to love those that I work with. Now
I start to love those like when I go to a restaurant,
right? You just love the people around you unless
it's cold, then you're not going there. Some
of you, that was too soon. You're still grieving.
Still grieving. But you're to love. You're now
free. What are you free to? That I don't have
to make this life about me. Jesus has freed me
to make it about you. Jesus has freed me to make
it about those around me. Jesus has freed me
to serve. That I no longer have to worry about
it. But here's the thing, that what he's getting
at is that your life matters. Your life counts.
The way you live. Do you live like the man who
found something so valuable that Jesus is so
valuable that he'll give everything else away?
so that you would know. I highly doubt that if
you went to that man's field, he's like, oh,
I just want to show you the grass. He's like,
no, no, no, no, come look what I found. It's
mine and it's precious. Like that's the idea
that Jesus is so valuable to you that you go,
I'm going to live an expression of love that
displays to everybody how valuable Jesus is.
That's the power of your life. There was a man,
I don't know if you saw the news this week. There
was a man, he died. He was 114 years old. That's
not a bad, in England we say that's not a bad
batting average, right? 114. What's significant
about his passing is that 89 years old, he decided
he saw a long distance runner and he decided
he was gonna take up long distance running at
89 years old. Some of you are like, I'm not even
close to that and I ain't running, right? 89
years old. Three years later, he finishes a marathon.
He broke the record. I didn't even know there
was a record for 90 plus in marathons. He broke
the record by 58 minutes. Shattered it. He continued
to run all the way until he was 101. At 101,
he set records that they had to create because
nobody was doing it. At one point in his life,
he was on a relay team and the overall total
age was 397. People watched his life and were
inspired so much so that the Queen Elizabeth
gave him an award due for people in sports. It's
sacrilege, but they took David Beth... Beckham,
Adidas took David Beckham out of their spot and
put this man in to prove that impossible is nothing.
Don't clap for that. To prove that impossible
is nothing. He gave his life and he inspired
people towards what? What he valued and it was
running. One of my favorite quotes of him this
week that I got to read, he's like, the first
20 miles, they're not difficult. The last six,
I talked to God. What a beautiful testimony that
a life can leave. Your life has immense value.
You, you are the expression of Jesus to everyone
around you. And what you do with your life will
either devalue that expression or add value to
it. We started in here singing and we were singing
about no one else, no one else, no one else is
worthy. But Jesus. And I wonder what it would
be like to close out the weekend. Because y 'all
are last. In a way that where you stand and you
take your voice and you go, I am going to use
my voice as an expression of love to declare
I found something so valuable. And his name is
Jesus. Would you stand right where you are? I
need you to catch this. I need you to sing over
the people next to you. Because they may not
know yet the value that is in Jesus. His worth
that no one else can compare. And your voice
gets to be the expression for them today of the
love of God. Let's sing together.
