Well, hey everyone. Welcome to Venture. We're so excited wherever you're tuning in from, maybe at one of our locations or online, Hey, Lincoln Road, can we welcome in everybody that's linked in with us right now at our campuses? I don't know about you guys, but I'm feeling pretty good over here at Lincoln Road, right? Lincoln Road.

Y'all feeling good? Yeah. Yeah. Excited. I I know Hunt Club.

I already know you're on fire in Stone County Friends in Jones County and Gulf Coast. Man, it's so good to be with you guys. I don't know about y'all, but when I see that video that we just watched together, I, it gets me charged up. I'm gonna just go ahead and tell you it gets me charged. I'm ready to storm hell with a water pistol right now.

And I hope that you are too because it's just amazing to see what God is doing through and in our church, through you at all of our locations, at all of our campuses. God is moving. He's doing something special here. That's why I get so giddy about the season that we're in at the start of every year when you know, college has come back in town and we've got new people joining us to hear about, Hey, what is this venture thing all about? And we always take a season to pause and reflect on why it is we do what we do, right?

Why venture, why this? What about venture is, is God calling us to? And it's a simple thing. Really. We want to be a place that's passionate about people who are far from him.

When we wanna be a place that anyone, everyone, it doesn't matter what your story is, it doesn't matter what you've experienced in life, it doesn't matter what happened last year, last week, or last night. When you walk through the doors of this place, we say Welcome to the family because we're passionate about what God is doing here. We're passionate about seeing people who are far from God come to know love and follow him. And that's why I'd be amiss if I didn't mention something that's happening next week, August 27th, at all of our locations, we have something called Venture 1 0 1 that's gonna be coming back around and it's gonna be an opportunity for you to plug in. 'Cause here's the cool thing about venture, and it's not about what happens up here.

It's God moving through you. You have giftings, you have places that God is sending you to. This is not my venture or a venture or the venture. This is your venture. Venture means a riskier, daring undertaking.

And can we undertake something daring for the Lord and go into our places? That's what Venture one oh one's all about, where you get to hear the heartbeat of our church. We'd love for you to be a part, uh, whatever location you're at, whatever campus jump in. I wanna challenge you, be a part of the venture. Be a part of the movement that God is doing.

And so this series, the Welcome to the Family series, we're talking about the distinctives that make us who we are, our d n a, right? The core values that make venture venture. A couple of weeks ago we heard from Pastor Jeff and he unpacked that first core values so well where he talked about we cultivate heroes because we value pointing people to their purpose, right? And this isn't like superhero heroes, right? We're not a CW channel or anything like that.

Like Flash isn't gonna come around here anywhere, but like we, we value cultivating biblical heroes. What's the difference? It's about seeing someone serving in their gifting and giving of their time and their talent and their resources to do the thing that God has called them to do. Because we value pointing people to their purpose. Every single one of us have a purpose that God has placed us here on earth to fulfill, and it's one that he's gonna gift us for.

Then we moved into the next week where Colin packed the second core value. We champion teamwork, right? Because we value the house over any room inside. This is what we mean. We mean that we're in this together.

We are better together. We are one family. He talked about one Corinthians 12 and how the body of Christ is a family. It is united together in the movement that God is calling us through. So now we're gonna go to our third of five core values.

We're gonna move into that next phase. It kind of builds on itself. And, and today we're gonna be back in one Corinthians 12 moving into one Corinthians 13. But here's the core value. We create excellence.

I'm gonna say it again for you. We create excellence. Why? Because we value belonging before believing. We value being a place where anybody and everybody can come and hear about the good news of Jesus.

We'll have a hot cup of coffee ready for you and a good conversation because we want you to be here and know that you are loved by us and by an almighty God. We create excellence. But here's a question I got for you. How does that phrase make you feel? Like what, what, what kinda stirred in your heart or in your mind when I said we create excellence?

Now, there's one of probably several mindsets out there. I know that I've experienced all of 'em. Maybe for you you're like, Hey, I just jumped, jumped on the venture train and I am ready to go. Like let's get after it. Whatever I need to do, I wanna serve, I want to give, let's go create excellence somewhere so that people can get saved, right?

I'm, I'm all for that. Then there's a, a separate one, uh, a second group that's like maybe like, ah, Blake, you know, core values. They're so corporate, right? Like, it's just like this little corporate feeling like what are we doing? But the reason why we have common language, united language is because we are united in mission.

And if we can have a common language that we build around y'all, God will do something special. Every single bit of it is rooted in Scripture, but then there's the third one. And I'm not gonna lie to you, I, I kind of struggle with this as well. The, the third group is saying this, Blake, isn't it a little presumptuous to say we create excellence? Like it seems a little assuming if you ask me like, how do you create it?

Isn't excellence something to be pursued or chased after or achieved? Don't we have to go get excellence or or level up to excellence? And I think that's a valid question. I think it's one that pretty much all of us in the room and online that we're asking right now is like, what about excellence is something that we create? I mean that, that seems a little presumptuous.

But here's the thing. I truly believe that there is a conspiracy and culture against our lives when it comes to this word excellence. And that's what I want us to do. I want us to deconstruct today the culture's view of excellence and rebuild a biblical framework for what we mean when we say excellence. Because think about it, when you hear the word excellence, you're probably saying, yeah, excellence is something I gotta go get, right?

I gotta chase after it and grind for it and pursue it and level up and, and do all these things. Here's the the key thing. What culture says when actually when they say excellence, it really means Instagram worthy, right? Like something that we gotta up our follower account or be influential or do the next thing. I mean, you know what I'm talking about?

Because behind that word, excellence in culture, here's the trick is they're actually saying perfection is like we're trying to pursue perfection. And that's not ever something that we were meant or created to pursue. In fact, it's something so much deeper. There's got to be a better way. But think about it like, uh, uh, for all the, the, the moms out there, right?

Like we got a nine month old at the house and moms and dads and newborns. I feel you like I'm in it, but you know what I'm talking about. You're there. You finally got the kids to bed. Hallelujah.

So you've got like 37 minutes of your life where you can do something with your own time. So what do you do? Instagram reels for the whole 37 minutes. I know. And so you're scrolling and you're looking, and of course the algorithm gives you like all of the, the perfect mom feeds, right?

And it just looks perfect. And you're like, how is it perfect? They have a nine month old, I have a nine month old. How are their cabinets always white? I don't know because we had spaghetti last night and that's not happening in the Houston household.

Like how in the world it's everything is tailor fit and we're trying to attain. You get this feeling right where it's like, oh man, I gotta live. If I'm not leveling up, if I'm not living up to that standard, then I'm not excellent. Oh, CEO's in the room, maybe you're in the C-suite right now and you're trying to level up, the numbers are coming in, you're just finished year in or you're getting ready for quarter in and it's not matching up to the way it needed to be. And so you're having the conversations gotta be better, gotta be better, gotta do better.

Maybe you're a freshman in your college and you're like, I don't even know what excellence is right now. Like attending class maybe. I don't know, I just got here. Who knows? But it's always something, right?

Pursuing, chasing, grinding. But don't just take my word for it. In fact, I, uh, it's 2023. So you know that at some point we had to bring chat G p T into a message, right? So chat G P T is like this AI thing that you can go online, you can ask it any question in the world and it'll give you an answer because it like collects all the knowledge from everywhere and it just gives you an answer.

And so I asked chat g p t this question, this is what I said. I said, what does modern culture say about pursuing excellence? And this is verbatim word for word according to culture. What Chad g b t said, there are several discernible trends when it comes to pursuing excellence in modern culture. Then it lifts, lifts off four elements.

The first one is the celebration of high achievers from technological innovators. It says like Elon Musk and Steve Jobs to sports legends like Serena Williams or Lion Ole Messi. Modern culture often celebrates those who excel in their respective fields. Their stories are frequently told in media suggesting for our listen to this, suggesting that striving for and achieving excellence is worthy of praise. I don't know about you, but I don't think I'm gonna be looking like Lionel mess anytime soon.

I just don't think it's in it for me. I don't think that's part of the the game for me, right? But think about it like the celebration of high achievers is what culture is all about. It's listing off Steve Jobs, Elon Musk, right? Like Lionel Messi, Serena Williams.

I don't even think Jesus in his ministry in those three years that he would've lived up to the standards of excellence that we put in our own culture with the 12 ragtag guys that he brought around in three minutes, in three years of ministry. Think about it. Surely there's gotta be more. Look at the second one, continuous self-improvement with the rise of the self-help industry. Ted Talks and numerous motivational speakers and coaches.

There's a prevalent cultural push towards personal growth and the pursuit of one's best self. I don't know about y'all, but I'm tired already. There's no way I can achieve that being one's best self. Do we really think that we can live up to that standard? I'm just gonna go ahead and tell you, this is not self-help talk here on this platform.

This is only, there's only one thing that can help us since the name of Jesus. But the culture would say that continuous self-help is what it is. Okay, well let's keep going. What's the third one? Surely it's gotta be better than the second one or the first one.

Nope. The hustle culture, especially prominent among younger generations and entrepreneurs, the hustle culture emphasizes listen hard work, long hours and constant grinding to achieve success and excellence. It's often associated with startup culture in the gig economy, hustle, culture, long hours grinding to achieve success. Wear yourself down to the bones so that you can be excellent or as culture would say, influential. It's a never ending race.

And it leads to this fourth one. I thought it was really interesting that it listed this one. Concerns of burnout. There's an increasing awareness about the risks of the relentless pursuit of excellence leading to burnout and mental health issues. How do those things make you feel when we talk about excellence?

There's a twinge anytime that we say excellence or or perfection or pursuit, achievement, success. There's a twinge in all of our hearts that there's no way that we could ever live up to this and we're probably going to spend our lives trying and wasting it away when in truth that's never God's intention for our life. There is something more, don't just take it from me. Paul brings that same thought into one Corinthians chapter 12. See he was talking about, as we heard last week from Kyle's message, and we champion teamwork, that we are one body created in Christ Jesus to do amazing things, to be a movement, to see people come to faith, to know love and follow him.

And so he starts talking about us being unified as a body. But then he goes on to talk about spiritual gifts. And there's something interesting that Paul does. I want you to go with me to verse 27 in chapter 12. We're gonna read through verse 31.

It's something interesting that Paul does around this theme of, of pursuit, right? So listen with me. It says verse 27, now you are the body of Christ and individually you were members of it. You were together united and God is appointed in the church. First apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then miracles, then gifts of healing, helping administrating in various kinds of tongues.

But watch what he does here. Verse 29 are all apostles. He asks, is everybody a prophet? Is everybody a teacher? Do all work miracles?

Do all possess the gifts of healing? Do all speak with tongues or do all in pro do all interpret but earnestly desire the higher gifts? Did you notice that as Paul was talking about the gifts of the spirit, the things that should unify us? It's almost if Paul knew that in the church at Corinth that they were gonna start wrestling with one another over the gifts, they were gonna start saying, well, I've got this gift, so I should be this thing. Well, if I have this gift and I level it up and I do better and better, then I'm gonna be at this level.

I'll be heads and shoulders above the rest. It's as if he knew that we were gonna try to pursue it and chase it and manufacture it. Use the gifts that we were given to be a unified body to do something else. And so Paul asks the question, right? He says, is everybody supposed to be an apostle?

Is everybody supposed to teach? Is everybody supposed to, to bring healing or to bring encouragement to these things? And the answer is no. We're all meant to do our part in the body of Christ. But that's the thing.

He said, I, I know that you're gonna do this. All right, I know that you're gonna try to be top of the class. So here's the deal. In verse 31, he says, but earnestly seek the higher gifts. Ah man, that feels better.

Thank you Paul. Because the higher gifts, like that's for me, I wanna be like the highest gift. Like if there's a like spiritual gifts plus like give that one to me. I want that spiritual gift. And Paul is saying, Hey, okay, seek the higher gifts.

But here's the deal for us, what higher might mean is leveling up or being better or the the the best kind of gift higher for Paul meant the one that serves the church the most meant the one that serves people well, that loves them. Well maybe it's the obscure role that leans in. This is what Paul meant when he said higher. But he said, okay, fine, if you're gonna try to pursue it, pursue the gifts that are gonna edify the church the most. But surely for all of us, there's got to be a better way, right?

There's gotta be something in our lives. There's gonna be something in Scripture that we can see. And that's what one Corinthians 13 is all about. One Corinthians 13 is a shift from this pursuit of perfection to something else. This is where Paul leans in and there's one phrase that he uses to tie the whole thing together.

And this will be the hinge of our moment together today. And this phrase that he uses at the end of uh, verse 31 in chapter 12, I think can be transformative for your life. I think it can transform the way you view your relationships. I think it can transform you. It can transform your marriage, it can transform your ministry, it can transform your workplace.

And it's this phrase right here. After he gets done saying all of that, the end of verse 31, he says, and I will show you a still more excellent way. Paul says, Hey, come with me. I'm gonna show you a better way than the way that you've been trying to live your life in pursuit of something that you can never chase. Come with me to First Corinthians chapter 13.

But here's what I want us to do. Because that was a a lot, right? I mean, we're deconstructing what has been an innate part of us in our culture for so long. I want us to pray and genuinely lean in and seek out God in this and seek out his wisdom. Can we pray together at all of our campuses just for this moment as God rebuilds in us a more excellent way?

Let's pray together. Father, we do pray that we pause in the middle of this message to ask for your wisdom because so many of us are struggling. We're burning out, we're tired, we're weary. We have nothing left in the taint 'cause we're trying to chase after something that culture says that we can get. And that's just a lie.

And so Father, now would you show us that more excellent way? Would you give us peace of mind to pursue you and to create excellence even if we don't believe it yet? Lord, help us to see it through you. Word. We love you, we praise you in Jesus' name.

And everybody said amen. Amen. All right, so let's go with Paul. So if Paul's saying there's a better way, we need to jump in with him. So what does one Corinthians chapter 13 say?

Let's start in verse one. It says, if I speak in the tongues of men and angels, but I have not love, I'm a noisy gong or a clinging symbol. And if I have prophetic powers and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith so as to remove mountains, but I don't have love, then I am nothing. If I give away all I have and if I deliver up my body to be burned but have not love, I gain nothing right there. There it is.

The key to this entire text, the key to Paul's entire heart, what he's trying to teach us about excellence, you can circle it in those first three verses is love, love. This is the key difference from what culture would say excellence is to what Scripture in the Lord says, excellence truly is. You see, the foundation for kingdom excellence is love. That's what it's rooted in. That's what it's built on.

That's what it's structured around. If we want to be excellent in our lives, it's not about looking good. Hear me in this. Excellence has nothing to do with looking good. It has everything to do with loving well, everything to do with it.

This is what Paul is saying. Go back with me through these things. Paul says, Hey, if you have all the spiritual gifts, everything you ever wanted in terms of spiritual gifts, if that's what you had, but you didn't have love, well brother, I'm just gonna go ahead and tell you. You sound like a big old gong, like clanging symbol. Y'all ever been to one of those like middle school performances and band and there's that one kid, he's been waiting on this moment all night long and he gets a little excited and he starts a little too soon.

So he just, everybody's looking around like, bro, that was like, that's two songs down the road. That's what it sounds like when we have all the gifts like we come in, Hey y'all, I got all the spiritual gifts that you could ever want. Come see me. And it sounds like just clinging symbols to people as we'd say it in the south that don't amount to a hill of beans, right? But let's keep going.

Like Paul says, Hey, but what if you have all of the knowledge in the world, all the wisdom, like you can fix any problem, it's on you. Well just ask your significant other or your best friend. Whenever they come to you and they say, Hey, I, I just really need to talk to you about something. I struggle with this y'all. I'm just gonna go ahead and tell you.

Lauren will come to me. She'll say, Blake, I just, can we talk about something real quick? And then she'll just pour her heart out on what she's going through, what she's experiencing. And instead of being like, baby, I hear you like I I love you. I'm, I'm for you.

I'm so sorry. No, no, no. I go into fix it mode. And I'm like, Hey, if you do a, B, C, and four, you'll like have this going and it'll be done. And she looks at me like, that's not at all what I wanted, right?

That's what it means if we don't have love, but on knowledge. And then the last one, this hits hard, it sit home. It says, well what if I give away everything? What if I give my life and service? What if I give away my money and my time and my talents and and everything?

Paul says, if you do that without love, you're just burning yourself up for nothing. The 21st century rendition of that burning my body, having my body burned is having my bind burned out. We feel this. So something about love has to take root in us when it comes to excellence because it's not about looking good. It's not about establishing ourselves as credible.

It's not about leveling up or having the all of the influence or having all the people look at you. It has nothing to do with that. It has everything to do with giving your life and service and love for other people because you've been loved by an almighty God. Well you say then, but Blake, okay, that sounds awesome, but what is love? Right?

Or as the great theologian, Hadaway would say, what is up Gen Z? Y'all have to Google that like later. Y'all have to figure that out. But you gotta ask yourself the question, right? Like, what is love?

Like what does that look like? Paul gives us the answer starting in verse four. Now this is the point where this is like the wedding passage, right? Like you hear it in weddings all the time. And when people get married, the pastor stands up and reads, love his patient.

Love it. It's so much more than that. Like I love that it's in there and I say it most every time that I have the opportunity and the honor to do a wedding for a couple. But it's more than just the wedding passage. It's it's instructions for how we live an excellent life.

So let's look in, in verse four says this, love is patient and kind. Love does not envy or boast. It is not arrogant or rude. It doesn't insist on its own way. It is not irritable or resentful.

It does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but it rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things endears, all things. Love never ends. This is love. And this is what true biblical excellence is all about.

This is what excellence is in the eyes of God. Not about performance, not about chasing after something, not about upping a follower count. It's about living our lives full of the love of Jesus and seeing that love radiated out in every nook and cranny in our lives. That is creating excellence. Friends, someone would say it like this, that excellence isn't the pursuit of perfection, it's the pursuit of people.

This is true excellence. When we are pursuing people, giving our lives for people so that they could come to know love and follow Jesus. This is the excellent life. This is why, this is what we mean adventure. Like when we say we create excellence, this is what we're talking about.

Not pursuit of perfection, but pursuit of people. Think about it for a second. Why do we stand? Why do our guest services team stand on the outside of the doors in 104 degree heat to welcome somebody into church? Why don't they stand on the inside?

Where's cool and air conditioned? The reason why is because when the first time guest comes and they are scared to death to come out 'cause they know no one, the first thing that they see is not going to be a faceless building. It's gonna be a person smiling against them that says, welcome to the family. We're excited that you're here. Why are we not just babysitting in K X P?

It's because we are raising up a next generation that's gonna take the testimony of Jesus to greater places than we did ourselves. We are investing in them to see them come to know love and follow Jesus. That's why we have CEOs of entire companies that are sitting with our children on Sunday mornings, not because they're babysitting or getting or checking off a box or looking how good I am, but so that they can say, we want to invest in the next generation. Why do we have a safe place to struggle for students on Sunday nights at all of our locations? 'Cause the Lord knows they have enough going on in their lives at their schools that they can come to this place, that they can experience God in this place.

That we can create an excellent environment for them in this place so that they will be transformed and carry the message of Jesus. Not be reactive to culture, but be transformed by the word of God so that they can go transform their culture. Why do is our music loud? It's because for the some poor soul that comes in and they're at the end of their rope and they're sitting at the back corner of every single campus. When the music goes on, they raise their hands and they sing at the top of their lungs 'cause that's all they got left.

And we're gonna create an environment where they can be one-on-one with Jesus in the middle of thousands of people. That's why our music's loud. And we even let coffee come in the auditorium. Y'all bring it on, you bring your coffee in your Stanley Cup, we'll go to town. Why?

Why do We do that? Because we celebrate the stain. We celebrate it when we see a stain in our carpet. Do you wanna know why? Because where that stain was, a person once stood and that person received the Gospel of Jesus Christ and their life was changed.

That's why we Got the little carpet squares. We'll rip those suckers out and put a new one down because we want people anywhere, everywhere and every single place to know that they are loved by us and loved by Jesus, so that they can be transformed by the goodness of God. Jesus is moving in our church and we will do anything short of sin itself to see one more person come to know him. We'll do whatever it takes. Anything it takes.

That's why I love Colossians 3 23. It says, whatever you do, right in word or deeded work, heartily. I love that word heartily. It means with your whole heart, with everything you have as for the Lord and not as for men. We're not pursuing perfection here.

There are no perfect people. There's only one perfect person in this room today. His name is Jesus. But I love what Clarence Jordan said. He was a starter of habitat for humanity in the 1920s and thirties.

He said this, the true measure of a Christian isn't in the height of his grasp, but in the depth of his love. We love people and through that love excellence is created. That's what we mean adventure. When we say we create excellence. But you say, Blake, I I get the excellence piece right?

Excellence is centered around love. But why create, right? Like why the word create? Well, we're intentional with every single word that we use and we're intentional with that word as well. Because if, if we were to say we pursue excellence, well that means that excellence is somewhere out there that we then have to go get, right?

But when we say we create excellence, we recognize the fact that inside of us is where excellence resides through the Holy Spirit. When we ask Christ into our lives, he fills us with the Holy Spirit and gives us gifts so that when we go out, this is what I want you to know about those of us who follow after Christ is everywhere you go, the Holy Spirit of God goes with you. That dark place that you never thought could be changed, the Holy Spirit goes with you into that place. And pockets of heaven are created pockets of heaven where reconciliation takes place, where lives are transformed. That's why we create excellence is it of ourselves.

No one, John four 19 says this, we love because he first loved us. This is the heartbeat with which we go and create excellence. It's because we've been loved by an almighty God. Because listen, if we're the ones trying to live up to one Corinthians 13, four through eight, it ain't happening. Like you could replace the word love with Blake and let's see how far we get.

Blake is patient. That's as far as we're getting on that one. I'm gonna just go ahead and tell you and we could replace it with all of us, right? And there's no way that any of us would be able to live up to that standard. But the good news is, the good news of the Gospel that Jesus is, is that you don't have to, right?

Because Jesus came and he gave his life for you. If you're listening today and you're looking to follow Jesus for the first time, hear this. This is why we create excellence, that Jesus Christ left heaven. He came and lived a sinless life, gave that life on a cross, gave his life for you because he knew that there was no way you'd be able to attain that perfection. He gave that sinless life and was raised again three days later now seated at the right hand of God and now he lives out of us and he transforms places through his presence in us.

So this is how we would say it If, if love, if we loved because he first loved us. Go back to verses four through eight, replace love with Jesus. Jesus is patient and kind. Yes he is. Jesus does not envy or boast.

He is not arrogant or rude. Thank you Lord. It He does not insist on his own way. He is not irritable or resentful. He does not rejoice at wrongdoing.

He does, but he rejoices with the truth. Jesus bears all things. He believes all things. He hopes all things endures, all things Jesus never fails. And when he is in our lives and we go out in our workplaces and our families and in our relationships, we take that spirit of Jesus with us.

And excellence is created excellent environments where people are known and fully loved, where they can belong here before they ever believe. And the reason why is because we say, Hey, it doesn't matter what your story is. It doesn't matter what you've experienced. It doesn't matter even if you don't believe the same way we believe right now. You come on in and you welcome to the family.

Here's the reason why. Because we believe in a God that is so good and so powerful and so true. We believe in a savior that is so loving and so merciful and so gracious that he can do things in your life that you have never experienced before. We create excellence and love is the most excellent way. So today we're gonna have an opportunity to respond in to this.

I love what Francis Chan said. He said, the greatest fear in life isn't about failure. It's about succeeding in things that don't really matter. Can we succeed in this church of being a family that is committed to loving people well and not trying to look good, but doing anything short of sin itself so that one more person can come to know love and follow Jesus. But all of our locations today, you have an opportunity to respond.

Maybe you wanna come down to the crosses, you wanna write something down. You need to turn from that way. You need to repent of that way of trying to per level up and pursue perfection. You need to repent and turn from that and come in and say, God, I wanna lock in with you. I wanna go where you go.

I wanna love who you love that's available to you. Our prayer team is available as well. Maybe you wanna come and pray with someone. That's what the prayer team is for. Never be ashamed of coming to pray with somebody that's that's what the family is for.

Or maybe for you. You just wanna stand and you wanna sing at the top of your lungs because we have a story to tell y'all. There's a testimony in our lives and there is nothing more powerful than the spirit of God moving through his people with a testimony. There's nothing more powerful than that. So can we believe it together?

I love to pray for you. Let's pray. Father, we love you. I thank you Lord. Chief called us a greater excellence, a more excellent way.

Father, we turn from the way culture will tell us that excellence is focused on this pursuit, this striving this, grinding it out. Lord, we, we turn from that. Father, we pray that we would be so focused on your love for us, that it bleeds over, it overflows into love for others. Would you move us? Father, call us into your story.

I pray for the person that's here for the first time that does not know you, that they would experience you in a, in a way that's beyond their understanding. They would come to faith in you. We love you Lord. It's in Jesus name we pray. Amen.
