Sacrificial Community.

I'm so excited for this Sunday. I'm not preaching today. We get to hear from my good friend, Pastor Chris Griffith. But before that, I just wanted to take a second and share with you a pastoral word about some things that the Lord has been speaking.

If you were here last Sunday or maybe heard about it, we had a moment with the Lord where we felt like he was inviting us to not go as planned and to just worship and spend time in the presence of God. It was so beautiful, and a lot of it came from something that happened in Kentucky a few weeks ago.

On February 8th, at a college campus, during their normal chapel service, the presence of God fell in such a significant way that they decided to keep worshiping and keep praying. For about three weeks, it was nonstop worship and prayer. There have been stirrings happening not only in our country but around the world of tangible ways that people are experiencing God's presence.

What I've loved is hearing from friends who have been there is that everybody's talking about how unique this is. We talk about this word revival, these moments where God's presence falls in a significant way. In the past, when you look at revivals, they're all so unique. This one was started by young people, and it was so specific for that generation. The testimonies of people being healed from anxiety and depression, things that Gen Z is struggling with and has marked them as a culture. God is healing them of that.

As we've been praying and saying, God, what is our invitation as a church, recognizing that although you are the same God, there are unique ways that you want us to respond and move in our midst and in our city.

Last week in communities, we read through Acts chapter two, which is the story of the day of Pentecost and really the birth of the church. I encourage you that if you weren't there at communities or aren't familiar with the story, go home after this and read Acts chapter two.

This is maybe one of the first big revivals you see in scripture. As the people were coming to pray, they showed up to pray as a part of the festival they were celebrating, a part of their rhythms as a culture at that time. When they showed up, the presence of God fell in such a significant way and empowered them. The Holy Spirit empowered them to go and proclaim the good news of Jesus Christ. That's what gave birth to the church.

Then what did they do. They continued to gather together to pray, to experience the presence of God, to be empowered to go and plant more churches and do more things for God.

As we've been praying about what is that invitation for us, when we have these moments of experiencing the presence of God, why do we even want that. And then what do we do with that. Well, if we look back at scripture in Acts chapter two, we see these things: prayer. They had a rhythm of prayer in their life. As they were committed to that rhythm of praying and talking to God and seeking God, that's when the presence continued to come and empower them to go and proclaim Jesus Christ.

We can be empowered to proclaim Jesus. When I look around this room and think of all the places we all get to go this week, think of all the different people we're going to encounter. We might look around and say there's only a few of us, but think of all the people we're going to encounter this week. What does it look like for us to show up on Sundays when we come to pray and seek the presence of God. To really seek it in a way of saying, God, I need you to come and empower me so that I can then go and proclaim your good news, your love to the people around me.

What does it look like for us to continue then to plant more revivals and more moves of God all across this city. So that's really what I feel like the Lord is inviting us into: to say, okay, let's keep praying. We've been talking about and we're continuing our series through the rule of life. Let's keep looking at where in my life am I every day seeking God. Where am I every day proclaiming his good news and continuing this move of revival. So let's continue to pray. Let's continue to press into his presence, proclaim that good news and just see what God will do.

So please help me welcome my good friend from Chicago, Chris Griffith.

Welcome and introduction

What's up, New Culture. Good to be with you. I'm so pumped to be here with my wife, and it's been a good day being in Wisconsin. It's cold up here, y'all. Y'all still got snow on the ground. It's a bit much for this Southern boy.

Tonight we're going to open up the word and jump right into scripture. I'm going to jump into Acts chapter two, and we're going to read about what Abbie just talked about. This is a powerful passage of scripture, and tonight I want to give it maybe a unique angle that you haven't heard before. I want to talk about what it looks like to have community and what it looks like to be a part of real authentic community.

We're going to start Acts 2, verse 42. The passage describes how the believers devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and to fellowship, to breaking of bread and to prayer. Everyone was filled with awe at the many wonders and signs performed by the apostles. All the believers were together and had everything in common. They sold property and possessions to give to anyone who had need. Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts, broke bread in their homes, and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved.

So tonight I want to talk to you from this thought: In a time of self-centeredness, we choose the path of sacrificial community. Let me say that one more time. In a time of self-centeredness, we choose the path of sacrificial community.

Let me pray for us tonight. Dear God, we thank you so much for all that you are, and we thank you for your word, the words that you've given us to live by. God, you have given us these words as instruction and guide to help us grow, to help us have protection, to help us have a thriving life. And so tonight, Lord, we would look to your scripture and lean into your words.

What is community

We're talking about community tonight and I love New Culture. I love your pastor, Abbie, who is a great friend of mine. When I think about community, I think about the community that I've been able to have with your pastor. Not only does she love this stuff that she talks about with rule of life and all this stuff, but she lives it out. We have a great friendship and great relationship. You know, she's like my second sister and she's just an amazing person.

How many of you have been getting something out of this rule of life series. Last week, Pastor Abbie brought a great word, and I was listening and tuning in. But I just noticed at the beginning of the message that there were some things that were said, and I felt like I needed to make a quick correction.

I know you guys up here in Wisconsin have your thing, your Quick Trip. But I want to show you the real thing. This is the real QuikTrip, the one from my homeland down south. Whatever Quick Trip y'all got up here, it's far inferior to the real QuikTrip.

For those of you who have not heard about QuikTrip, one of my favorite things in the world when I think about how awesome God is and all his amazing creations, one of my favorite creations God ever made was the slushy. Come on, somebody. A good old slushy. Who likes a slushy. If you like slushies, you will like QuikTrip.

When you walk in, they have about 30 different flavors of slushy. Anything you can think of, they got strawberry, blueberry, blackberry, raspberry, razzmatazz, whatever you could think of, they pretty much have it. They even have coffee slushies. It's a whole thing. QuikTrip is awesome.

So, community, right. Let's define what is community. Community is a word that refers to a group of people who share a common geography, interests, identity and who interact with and support one another. A community can be defined by physical proximity such as a neighborhood or town, or by a shared characteristic such as profession, hobby, culture, or belief system.

In our culture today, it's very easy to talk about community and miss the point of what community is. Community can be something that is very shallow if not truly leaned into with the right adjective at the beginning of that word. Community can be as simple as the people that are surrounding you, people you're in proximity with. But it can also be people that you have a shared identity with.

Now, those of us like the scripture says, for if any man be in Christ, he is a new creation. So if any person identifies with Christ, we automatically have a sort of new community or a new culture, if you will.

As I was thinking about community and how that fits into the framework of what it looks like to create the new culture of Christ here in Madison, what does that look like. What does it look like to be a countercultural group of people in a time in our world where our world is full of self-centeredness.

Let me think about it and let's be honest for a second. In our world today, a lot of self exists. Our world exists in a way where we're always thinking, what about me. What am I doing. What's my thing. How am I going to take care of myself. And there's nothing wrong with that. I do believe there's something healthy about being a healthy human and taking care of your needs.

But when it comes to living life and it comes to living in a new kind of kingdom, the kingdom of God, that kingdom of God is so much bigger than what's happening on the inside of you. The kingdom of God is vast. It's you plus all the other people that God has put in proximity with you. And so I believe that this act of community is so, so important.

Now, before we dive any further and get deeper into what it looks like to have sacrificial community, I just would love to share a word. I know that life is hectic and life is crazy, and there's a lot of hard things that we experience in life. As you're hearing the words that I'm saying today, I'm going to be talking about community and what it looks like to sacrifice.

But I realize that a lot of us have come into this room in different perspectives. Maybe you've been in a relationship, a friendship, in a church community or at a job, and maybe you've had some hard times. Maybe you've had some bad interactions. Maybe you've had some heartbreak. Maybe you've had some people break your trust. And I know it can be very, very hard to trust again, to believe again, to really take this to heart what I'm saying tonight.

But I believe that the local church and this thing called sacrificial community is God's plan A for the world. God doesn't have a secondary plan. God has ordained the local church to be the hope of the world, and it's ordained the local church to be a countercultural type of community where people, no matter their background, no matter who they are, no matter their skin color, no matter what they believe, God has ordained this place for people far and wide to come together under the name of Jesus.

So that's the great thing about the community that Jesus is wanting to establish in the world.

Two types of community

I mentioned talking about sacrificial community, but there is another form of community, and I'd like to label it like this: circumstantial community.

What do I mean by circumstantial community. Circumstantial community would be community based upon, are the circumstances correct. Does this work out in my favor. Do I have community with a person or a group of people if they don't annoy me or if they do the things that I want them to do.

Sacrificial community is something that is far greater than just something based on circumstances. Sacrificial community says that I am not only choosing to give myself to something, but I'm choosing to stick with it for the long haul, regardless of the circumstances.

We live in a culture today where people end relationships, where people cut people off just over the smallest thing. I was doing some research as I was preparing for this. According to a study, four in 10 adults during the year 2020, so the pandemic year, we had COVID, we had things happening. We had George Floyd. There were all these things happening in the media and we were locked down and all the people were fighting on Facebook, moms and grandmoms, even my parents who are 60 years old and aunts and uncles. People are fighting on Facebook. It's crazy.

And it said four in 10 adults actually broke relationship during the pandemic. I began to think about that, what it looks like to be in sacrificial community. When we are in truly sacrificial community, we don't just break relationship when something gets hard. Sacrificial community is something that is giving oneself regardless of the circumstances.

As I was studying and going through this, I was just thinking about what a crazy time we live in. I was doing research for this, and I was trying to pull the numbers for stats, and I used ChatGPT for the first time. I wanted to test this thing out. I asked ChatGPT, how many people in our current culture feel isolated, disconnected, feel like they're alone, feel like they're going through life on their own.

The response that it gave me was interesting. There's a study done by Cigna in 2020. It said 61% of adults today feel lonely or disconnected and don't have relationships and sacrificial community to give themselves to. What would it look like if the local church could be a place where this happens. What could be accomplished in the name of Jesus if the church was a place where we truly lived out the things that we believed.

What would it look like if we didn't just cut ties with people or groups of people based upon if they got on our nerves or not. Or if they said something we didn't like. And so today I want to talk about the cultural moment and kind of what our culture would say about community.

There are three things that I would love to talk through as it refers to our current cultural moment. There are three kind of marks of our age that we sort of live in these days.

The age of individuality

Number one, we live in this age of individuality. The age of individuality. We have determined that the way for us to get ahead in life is to go alone.

Now, we know that to be a fallacy because of what it says right here in Mark 8:35:

For whoever would save his life will lose it. But whoever loses his life for my sake and for the gospel's sake will save it. For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world and lose his soul.

Mark 8:35-36

There's a beautiful African proverb, and it just says this: if you want to go fast, go alone. But if you want to go far, go together. Listen, we were made to be together. When we choose to put people in our lives and let people in and give ourselves to that sacrificial community, we can actually accomplish more together than we could ever do alone.

That's why the local church is so powerful, is that at the end of the day, it's more than just this local body. There is a corporate capital C church that on every street corner in America, all over this world, there are churches and Christians and believers gathering under the name of Jesus. Not on their own, not to lift up the name of their church, but to lift up the name of Jesus.

I think about what's happening in Asbury. A group of students coming together, not caring about who's getting the credit or who's getting famous or notoriety, but they're just thinking about whose name they're lifting up. And that is the name of Jesus.

As the church, if we want to go far and we want to do more and accomplish more, we have to be together. Inevitably, if we're driven by our individuality or what can happen, we'll get somewhere, but it'll be alone.

And the way that Jesus outlined it here in Acts chapter 2, verse 42, where it says, they devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and to fellowship and to the breaking of bread and prayers. And all came upon every soul. And there were signs and wonders being done through the apostles.

When I read this story of the church growing daily and all these cool things that happen, signs and wonders and miracles, the common theme that comes across is that there was a unity there, that people were together. Everyone was on the same page. They're all together. And they didn't care about one person over another person getting their way or being the center of attention. The only thing they cared about being the center was the message of Jesus going forward. And that's how incredible things happen in their midst.

The age of the instant

The second age that we live in is we live in the age of the instant. Come on, the fast food generation. We live in the age of the instant, where we think instant is bigger, better, and faster. To quote the great philosopher J.G. Wentworth, it's my money and I need it now.

So we live in this moment where we're literally the most connected generation of all history, right. We have cell phones, we have laptops, we have tablets. We can connect with somebody instantly. We're the most connected generation, but yet we see that statistic where it says 61% of people feel alone or isolated.

But like I said, we live in the age of the instant. But I believe when it comes to practicing the way of Jesus, the age of the instant is actually completely opposite of Jesus's intention for us when it comes to community.

Here's a great verse for us. Matthew 6:31-33 says:

Therefore do not be anxious, saying, "What shall we eat or what shall we drink or what shall we wear." For the Gentiles seek after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all. But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.

Matthew 6:31-34

When we live in this age of the instant, when we live in a posture of instant, it's impossible to accomplish sacrificial community. It's impossible. When we're always in a hurry and we're always trying to speed through and when somebody is really dealing with something and they need to talk to somebody, but you're just too busy, or you got the next thing to rush on to.

If we're going to have an experienced sacrificial community, we're going to have to kind of turn away from this age of instant and lean into the rhythm of what it looks like to practice the way of Jesus.

Want to know an interesting factoid about the Bible. In the ministry of Jesus, right, you see Jesus all throughout the gospels, all throughout Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. He's doing miracles, he's doing all these things. He and his crew are doing all these things. They're healing people. They're helping people. They're doing all these amazing things. In fact, in the Bible in Isaiah and in Old Testament times, there were many prophecies that Jesus lived out in real life. Every prophecy that was ever prophesied about the Savior, the Messiah, Jesus accomplished from the Old Testament.

But one of the interesting factoids that I just thought was mind-blowing about Jesus is that Jesus never ran. Jesus never ran. I was thinking about that. I was like, wait, that's kind of mind-blowing. I'm sure there's a scripture in there where Jesus was in a rush and he was running. No, Jesus never ran.

The reason why I'm bringing this up is because Jesus was so grounded and rooted in the identity that he was as a son of God that he knew his father and he knew his position in the kingdom of God and so he knew that he didn't have to live in the age of the instant because he knew that everything would be accomplished at the time that God ordained it to happen.

What would that look like for you and I's life. I know we have dreams and visions and things we want to do, things we want to accomplish, but what would it look like if we were to lean into that and lean away from the age of the instant. When we think about the dreams that God's put on our heart, what would it look like to actually release that back to God and trust God with that. God, in your perfect timing, I know what will happen. But even if it doesn't, God, it is well with my soul. God, I choose to trust in your plan for my life, not my own.

This is how we practice the way of Jesus, by rejecting the age of the instant, by rejecting this age of individuality.

The age of self-sufficiency

And then lastly, the age of self-sufficiency. This is a lie that we don't need anything other than ourselves to care and provide for all of our needs.

In our 2023 society, we have a lot of smart people. I know there's a lot of smart people in the room. Many of you probably got bachelor's degrees and master's degrees. And some of you may even be working on your doctorate. Like I got some smart people in the room.

But at the end of the day, us as human beings, we are not able to measure up to the sufficiency of all that God is. And here's just the truth. The truth is that we are not self-sufficient on our own, that we all desperately inherently have a need for Jesus. Jesus is the completeness of our lives.

Scripture says that in our weakness, God's strength is made perfect. That in fact, that as we admit to ourselves and those around us that we are in desperate need of Jesus, that's actually the moment where he comes in and fills the gap of all that we're missing. And like I said, I know that some are skilled and talented here in this room, but even as smart as we may be, we may all fall short of the surpassing wisdom and glory that is Jesus, that is God.

This past year, back during 2020, obviously it was a hard year for a lot of people. And so I started counseling and started to see a counselor through that time. It was a tough time. I'll be honest, man. I'm a pastor, but I really struggled through the pandemic. I'm a people person. And so being locked away in my house in Chicago was hard for me. I missed being out and doing activities, especially during the summer.

But I started working with a counselor and I felt super disconnected, felt super disenfranchised. And there was this moment where me and my wife were in the process of planting a church and things were going great. But things were also hard and things were struggling. And I'm trying to work on our relationship and friendships and all the many things that we're dealing with.

And one of the hardest things for me was just this idea of the dreams that God had put in my heart. Like, when would they happen. When would they come to pass. When would they be a thing.

And I remember telling my counselor over a telehealth appointment on Zoom. Anybody hate Zoom. I don't even want to get on anymore. And I remember telling my counselor, I'm following God and I'm doing all this stuff, but I'm just really frustrated. I didn't get in this. And I remember saying this phrase and it really shook me after I said it. And then hearing him say it back was like a real wake up call for me.

But I said out loud, I said, I didn't get into this following God thing to lose. I didn't get into this following God thing just to like lose. And I remember saying that and instantly I just remember like thinking like that's not the right attitude. That's not the right perspective.

When I think about kind of the cause of this self-centeredness that we experience in our world, when I think about that, I think that's the posture a lot of times. I want to take care of me and I want to win. I want to do the things that I need to do to make it happen for me.

But the question that I would love to pose, and it's not the question that I came up with originally, but it's actually what my counselor said back to me. And he said, Chris, he said, what if it's not about winning. What if life is not about winning.

I know in America that really wrecks some of our theology, right. But what if it's not about winning. And then he followed up with the response, Chris, when will Jesus be enough.

I go back to that Matthew 6:33 verse, but seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. What is the scripture telling us. The scripture is telling us is that when we commit ourselves to the way of Jesus, this rule of life thing that we've been talking about, when we commit ourselves to the kingdom of God, that God creates in us a new heart, a new perspective, and gives us a new way to live, a new culture, right. God gives us these things, and the things that we worry about, the things that are unequal or incompatible with the kingdom of God begin to fade to the background, and the things that we need in our life to thrive and to be the kind of people God wants us to be come to pass.

And so this is what it looks like when we're talking about community, when we're talking about building a new culture, when we're talking about being people of God. This is what it looks like to say, Lord, not my will, but your will be done.

Three ways to practice sacrificial community

So as I wrap here, I just have three things when we look at what does it look like to practice the way of Jesus in a practical way when it comes to sacrificial community.

Number one, the way of Jesus is missional. What does this look like. We're embracing that we're in involvement with the mission of God and that it isn't optional or relegated to just some of those in ministry leadership, but central to the way that we live our lives. The mission of Jesus is not just for those who call themselves pastors or leaders. The mission of Jesus is for all of those who find themselves in Christ.

2 Corinthians 5:17 speaks of how if anyone is in Christ, they are a new creation. The old has passed away and the new has come. All of this is from God, who through Christ reconciled us to himself and gave us the ministry of reconciliation. God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting people's sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation. We are therefore Christ's ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us.

What is the scripture saying. That is saying that all people who find themselves or call themselves believers, find themselves in Christ, that now we have the ministry of reconciliation. What does this look like practically. Now that we have been saved, it is our job to help save others around us.

I like to say it like this. When you go to a good restaurant or a good taco spot or a good coffee spot, like, what do you do. How do you respond to that. How do you respond. You tell people about it.

When I think about the goodness of God and how God has saved me and how God has rescued me from dark places, how God has set me on a rock, how God has set me apart, when I think about what it means to be in Christ, now I have the opportunity and the obligation to tell people about the goodness of God. That I once was lost, but now I'm found. That I was a sinner, but now I've been saved by grace and that this same grace is available through you through faith in his perfect gift of Jesus. This gift is for everyone.

But our job and our way we practice Jesus is by living a missional life. So like I said, if God has been good, you just got to tell somebody.

Number two is the way of Jesus is sacrificial. The way of Jesus is just as much vertical as it is horizontal. Now, I'm not under-emphasizing reading your Bible, but if all you do is read your Bible and you don't actually live it, you've actually missed the point of what it means following Jesus.

I believe in rule of life. I believe in Sabbath. I believe in fasting. I believe in prayer. I believe in all the spiritual disciplines that we may do. But if all we do is the spiritual disciplines and lock ourselves in a closet, we will miss out on the point of the gospel. The gospel is best lived out as well as practiced on an individual basis.

When we commit ourselves to community, what this looks like is to be a light in all of the spaces that we may find ourselves in. Scripture tells us that Jesus did not come to be served, but he came to serve. If you want to be like Jesus, then you have to lean into the way of sacrificial community.

And then last but not least, the way of Jesus is communal. Now we read that Acts 2 scripture a couple of times, but I'm going to key in on verses 44-47. In that passage, all the believers were together and had everything in common. They sold property and possessions to give to anyone who had need. Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved.

The way of Jesus is communal. We are choosing to live life together. Now I'll be honest. I've been at some churches before where it's like, you come in and some of the people are like, oh, well, we got our little click over here and you can't really roll with us. We've been rolling deep for all these years.

But the church should be the place in the world where you don't have to put on a pretense to belong. That you can come into this thing and you can be equally seen and loved and known and be people who are on mission together and be people who have same mind, same heart, one accord, and that people who would be willing to give the shirt off their back to a new person coming in.

That's what it looks like to be sacrificial community. Not just this thing where it's like, oh, we have this cool thing you should come to, but make sure you don't say anything that some of the others may not like, or we're going to excommunicate you, or make sure you don't wear those kind of clothes here, or make sure you don't vote for that person, or make sure you don't listen to this music, or watch that TV show.

That is not true community. That's conformity. And that is anti-gospel. The gospel says that we, no matter where we are, no matter where we come from, we can all be one and united under Jesus.

Your next step

So as I kind of wrap up, I just want to ask and pose the question: what does it look like in your and I's life to live and lean into sacrificial community.

Maybe for you, it's like joining a community group, being a part of a community group for the first time. Maybe you're like, I like coming to church on Sunday, but I don't really like doing the small group thing, and I got to make extra time and do all this stuff. Maybe for you, the step is to join a community, to be a part of a group and say, you know what. For the next 12 weeks, I'm just going to show up, and I'm going to be a part of this community every week. And I'm going to meet someone new. I'm going to make a new friend. I'm going to share my life. I'm going to be open with my heart and I'm going to trust again.

Maybe I've been hurt in the past by other relationships, but I'm going to trust again and I'm going to love again and I'm going to just commit to this thing.

Maybe for some of us, it's rejecting the lie of the age that we live in, the age of self-sufficiency, the age of the individuality, or the age of the instant. Maybe it's for you. You're going to serve for the first time. Maybe you're going to give your time. Maybe you're going to stop being in a hurry, rushing out right after church, and maybe you're going to listen to that person's story that's going through a hard time.

I don't know. Maybe it's even simply leaning into this reality. That at the end of the day, like scripture says, seek first the kingdom of God. Maybe I'm just going to change the posture of my heart towards this thing called God and church. And I'm going to seek first Jesus.

Because at the end of the day, the equation is Jesus plus nothing equals everything. Everything you need, every dream, everything on your heart, everything that you're trying to accomplish, you're trying so hard to make happen, won't necessarily happen outside of the realm of us leaning into that Jesus is the only thing that we need. And the way of Jesus is the way of living a sacrificial life.

Why. Because that's the life he lived for us. He gave it all just so you and I could know him, just so we could be in relationship and know the Father's love for us. This is the gospel. The gospel is all about sacrifice.

When I say yes to Jesus, I'm saying yes to Jesus, no to self. I'm saying yes to Jesus, no to my way. I'm saying yes to God's way. Why would we do this. He is the creator of the heavens and the earth. He made you and I. And at the end of the day, I think the one who made the game, the one who made the pieces, knows how to operate the equipment.

And so I would just boldly declare this today in this room as we close, is that maybe your next step is saying yes to Jesus and no to your flesh.

I hope if anything, that the Lord would challenge us on what really truly is the most highest priority in life. And that is seeking the kingdom of God. That is putting him first. That is rejecting our flesh to pursue after his way.

Maybe God, I can't do this thing called life on my own. I need people, but most importantly, I need you. I think this is a bold declaration to make today to ourselves, to deny our flesh, to deny our self-centeredness in this moment, and to choose the path of sacrificial living.

As we close, we have a few reminders. If you haven't yet grabbed a rule of life workbook, they're available for you. If you search on our New Culture Church podcast for Rule of Life, we have some stuff that will help explain that better for you. So you guys can grab that on your way out.

Also, tomorrow we're starting a reading plan through the Gospel of Mark leading up until Easter. And it's going to be in partnership with a podcast called Walking Through Scripture. If you guys are looking for ways to spend time in Scripture, join us tomorrow morning. There's a reading plan and some journal prompts for you. So you guys can scan that QR code.

We love you guys. Have a great Sunday. See you Tuesday night or next week.
