[00:00:02] Hey New Life Gillette Church, we are thrilled you decided to listen to our teaching on your favorite podcast app. If you made a decision to follow Christ today, would you let us know by visiting? Yes.newlife gillette.com Here is this week's teaching.
[00:00:25] Amen. Good morning.
[00:00:29] I want to say good morning to everybody joining us online on Church 307 all across the state of Wyoming. Down at the prison. I want to say a special welcome to everybody who's here for the second time because you were here last week and God worked in your Life. We had 46 confirmed first time decisions last week at Easter, 46 eternities changed. That's what it's all about.
[00:00:53] We're continuing the series we started last week. This series is called Jesus Changes Everything.
[00:00:58] Last week that's what we talked about. Jesus changes everything because Jesus changes me. This week the thing we're gonna focus on is that Jesus changes anything. There is nothing, no one, no situation, nothing that Jesus won't forgive and won't transform. We're gonna be in Luke chapter 17.
[00:01:17] If you got a Bible with you, Luke chapter 17. I've said this before, I'll probably say it again. I always recommend bringing a paper Bible to CH with you or at least getting out the app on your phone so you can follow along. Because what your Bible becomes or even the app on your phone because you can take notes and highlight is this becomes a journal of what the Lord's done. If you're scribbling in the margins during a sermon or when you're doing your devotions during the week, then the next time you read that passage, you look back and say, wow, that's what God said to me then. This is what he's saying to me now. And you get to see the trajectory of what God's doing in your life. It's really powerful.
[00:01:51] Luke chapter 17. We're going to start reading in verse 11 now. On his way to Jerusalem, Jesus traveled along the border between Samaria and Galilee. As he was going into a village, 10 men who had leprosy met him. They stood at a distance and called out in a loud voice, Jesus, master, have pity on us. When he saw them, he said, go show yourselves to the priests.
[00:02:14] And as they went, they were cleansed.
[00:02:17] One of them, when he saw that he was healed, came back praising God in a loud voice. He threw himself at Jesus feet and thanked him. And he was a Samaritan. Jesus asked, were not all 10 cleansed? Where are the other nine? Has no one returned to give Praise to God. Except this foreigner.
[00:02:36] Then he said to him, rise and go. Your faith has made you well.
[00:02:41] Let's pray.
[00:02:45] Jesus, this is the day that you have made. And we will rejoice and be glad. We will give you praise because you deserve it.
[00:02:53] Jesus, as we ask just about every week, would you speak to us?
[00:02:58] We don't need my opinions. They're not important.
[00:03:00] But if there's anything that we talk about, there's anything in this sermon that's consistent with your character and faithful to your word, would you make it stand out to us? Would you highlight it in our mind and plant it in our hearts?
[00:03:13] That's why we're here, Jesus, for you.
[00:03:15] Amen.
[00:03:17] I want to do a thought experiment to start the sermon out this morning. I need to ask you to imagine something with me. All right, so we're going to try this out. Here's the first thing that I want you to think of. Think of what your favorite type of food is. Like, genre of food. Italian food, burgers, steaks, Mexican food, Western North Carolina style barbecue. Yes, and amen.
[00:03:41] Whatever it is, I want you to bring that to your mind, all right? You got it. What's your favorite style of food?
[00:03:46] Burgers.
[00:03:47] Sweet, but you got it in your mind. You guys are pretty dead this morning.
[00:03:52] All right, awesome. Here's what I want you to do. I want you to imagine with me that you found out that there was a chef, a world famous chef, maybe a Michelin starred chef. This person's won awards, they're nationally, internationally recognized for making this type of food. All right? Your favorite type of food, whatever it is, barbecue, tacos, spaghetti. They make your favorite type of food at a level that no one else does. I mean, this is the type of restaurant you got to have reservations months in advance. It's crazy expensive to eat there. And they're coming to Gillette and they're going to open a restaurant here in Gillette. You find out, I don't know, on the blotter or something like that, you find out, but you think, oh, you know what? That's not really my scene. That's really cool. I'm probably not going to eat there. You know, that's super expensive. But it's cool. It's cool that that's coming to Gillette.
[00:04:41] A month goes by, you go out and check the mail, and you find in your mailbox a personal invitation from that chef inviting you to opening night at the restaurant. You have been personally invited. It's handwritten, it's got your name and One guest, you and one guest can come to opening night at this restaurant. So what do you do you think, oh, my gosh, we have to go, right? I mean, if we have to eat ramen for the rest of the month, we have to go. This is important. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity. We got personally invited by this chef to go to this restaurant. This isn't going to happen again. We have to make the decision, make the plan. If we got to save up a little money, if we got to trim something somewhere, that's fine. Let's go to the restaurant. So you decide to go, you're excited about it. I mean, this is your favorite type of food, and this is a world class chef that's making it so you get all dolled up, you know, you get dressed up. This is going to be a fancy dinner. I mean, this restaurant, all of the chef's restaurants are fancy. So you get dressed up and you get ready to go. You put the address in your GPS and you think, huh, I wasn't expecting the restaurant to be on that side of town.
[00:05:57] Oh, well, that's cool.
[00:05:59] You start driving, you get there, cars parked around the block, lots of people.
[00:06:07] You look at the building and you think, really? This is the building that we're about to have this fancy once in a lifetime meal in, huh? They must have done a lot of work on the inside. I mean, it's a new restaurant, right? They must have renovated the inside and the outside is the last thing they're going to do.
[00:06:23] You're still excited, right? You've been saving up for this. You got the credit card ready, you got cash ready, whatever you need, you're ready to go.
[00:06:29] So you walk up to the line of people. There's an obvious line of people waiting for the doors to open to get into this restaurant. And you and whoever you're with, dressed up in your best stand in line and you happen to notice, you're not trying to be judgmental, but it looks like just about everybody in this line is homeless.
[00:06:53] Smells kind of like cult 45 and people who haven't taken a shower.
[00:07:00] You see a couple shopping carts, some extra stuff, as if people are carrying their belongings around. You think, oh, how cool is it that this chef is doing a feeding of the homeless? They're being generous on their opening. That is so cool. I'm so happy I get to support a chef like this. That's what we would all think, right? Man, this is really cool. I feel even better about spending all this extra money because I Know this money is going to a good cause. This person is not selfish. That's incredible. There must be a different line for people like us. So we're going to go walk around and we're going to find the other line where we go in, but this is really cool. So you say, oh, yeah, let's go. And you walk around the building. There's not even a light on on the other side of the building.
[00:07:43] That's weird.
[00:07:44] You walk around the building again.
[00:07:46] No other doors are unlocked. I mean, you're pulling on doors, knocking on windows, there's nothing.
[00:07:51] You check the invitation again to make sure you didn't put in the wrong address. No, this is right where you're supposed to be. So you go back to this line that's clearly mostly homeless people. You notice now that there are a couple of people in line, dressed up nice, but the overwhelming majority of them are clearly in need of a soup kitchen.
[00:08:11] So you walk up to the guy at the door and you say, excuse me, it's really cool what you're doing here today.
[00:08:17] Love it, support it. Really grateful that you're taking care of the community.
[00:08:23] We don't need the soup kitchen. Can you tell us what line we need to be in?
[00:08:30] And the guy at the door smiles at you and says, oh, there's only one line.
[00:08:37] If you want to eat here tonight, you were invited. There's a spot for you.
[00:08:42] There's a seat with your name on it inside.
[00:08:45] But if you want to eat here, there's only one line.
[00:08:50] It slowly dawns on you that this is a soup kitchen and you were personally invited.
[00:08:57] And this chef is going to make the best food you've ever had. But it's going to be served on a paper plate in a cafeteria line, and you're going to sit at a white plastic uline table just like everybody else.
[00:09:10] The question you have to answer then is, do you get in line or do you go home because you didn't need the handout?
[00:09:23] There are a couple things that are really interesting in this story that Jesus tells. The first that stands out is near the end of the story. In verse 16, the author Luke, makes it clear that the one man with leprosy that returns to Jesus to say thank you was a Samaritan. Now, that's something that might not be terribly obvious to us, why that's important in the story, but it's crucial to understanding this story. First off, as I was studying for this, and I read commentaries and scholars and people who study this for a living, pretty Much everybody agreed that the reason why the author pointed out that this man was a Samaritan was was because this would have been a group of men with leprosy of different backgrounds. Everyone would have assumed that Jesus was interacting with Jewish people because that is the primary people Jesus interacted with. He was a Jewish man sent to the Jewish nation.
[00:10:16] And every time in Scripture, pretty much that Jesus interacts with someone who's not Jewish, they point it out. The Roman centurion, the Syrophoenician woman. It's worth noting when he's interacting with someone that's not Jewish. And they don't mention it when he's interacting with Jewish people because that's who he was always interacting with. So they point out that this is a Samaritan, but he didn't say it was a group of Samaritans. That would have been noteworthy if this would have been 10 Samaritans with leprosy. The author would have absolutely pointed it out because it would have been surprising to the audience. So what we see here is that this is a group of men of mixed background. There are Jews and Samaritans in this group of people who had leprosy. Here's why that's important.
[00:10:57] The Jewish people and the Samaritan people had generational hatred and distrust of one another.
[00:11:04] They couldn't stand each other.
[00:11:07] The only way to get our minds in the right ballpark to understand the relationship between the Jewish people and the Samaritan people would be to imagine what you learned about the Jim Crow era south in the United States. Think lynchings, burning crosses, racial riots, violence, that type of thing. They couldn't stand each other to the fact that they would do harm at times to one another. And the reason for that was a few hundred years before this, the Jewish people had been exiled. God had allowed their enemies to take over and remove them from their homeland, from the land of Israel, the Promised Land, because of their sin. So when the Jewish people got exiled, they became deeply committed to following the rules and maintaining the purity of their identity. They did not. They refused to intermarry with the people in the land they were exiled to. They refused to adopt the culture of the land that they were exiled to. If you want to read about this, the Book of Daniel is a great example of this. They became zealous, passionate about maintaining the purity of their faith, following the law, and maintaining the purity of their bloodline as God's chosen people. When they finally were allowed to go back to Israel, they found some people from Samaria who were originally Jewish people, who hadn't maintained that loyalty.
[00:12:26] They had intermarried with the people who had filled in the space that the Jewish people had removed. And they had adopted some of the culture and customs. They still more or less practiced the same religion as the Jewish people, but they had adopted the customs and the culture of the people around them. So when the Jewish people got back, they found this nation of people that's really their distant cousins. And they said, what did you do? You betrayed everything we stood for. We got exiled and we maintained purity. We didn't intermarry. We didn't do any of that stuff. And what did you guys do? You're worshiping like them, you're acting like them, you're marrying them, you're dressing like them. What in the world did you guys do? And they started looking down on the Samaritans. Now you can imagine how the Samaritans felt. We were here all along. You guys left. What do you mean? You're looking down on us. You're so, so uppity. And you think that. You think that you've got it all together because you didn't intermarry. We were here the whole time keeping the homeland safe and somewhat protected while you guys got exiled. We're the ones who didn't get exiled. You can imagine how across generations, that anger would turn into hatred and distrust. And to make a point of how much the Jewish and Samaritan people couldn't stand each other, specifically, the Jewish people saw the Samaritans as unclean. They were unwilling to be seen with them, unwilling to touch them, generally unwilling to interact with them. I want to. There's going to be a map on the screen right here. This map shows us primarily the places Jesus interacted, the places Jesus went. When you read the Gospels, if a Jewish man was in Galilee, if a Jewish person was in Galilee, which is a Jewish territory, and they had to go to Jerusalem, which is down here also a Jewish territory, you can see that Samaria is right in the middle.
[00:14:13] Now. A Jewish person generally would not step foot on Samaritan soil.
[00:14:21] They thought it was corrupt.
[00:14:22] If a Jewish man had to go from Galilee to Jerusalem, which they often did, they would walk all the way around to Jericho, through Jericho to Jerusalem, because they wouldn't step foot on Samaritan soil. That's actually why stories like John chapter four, where Jesus meets the Samaritan woman at the well, are so important, because Jesus was in a place people like him didn't go. Interacting with a person Someone like him wouldn't be caught dead with.
[00:14:56] So this is a group of men with leprosy who are both Samaritan and Jewish. That's worth noting. Now, the second thing that's important in this story is in the first verse, we're told that Jesus was on his way to Jerusalem, and he was walking on the border between Galilee and Samaria.
[00:15:14] He was walking on the border between two places. Now, these men had leprosy in the ancient world, and still in parts of the world today, people who had communicable and deadly diseases were pushed out of common society. It was a way of protecting the rest of the culture from the disease that the people had. Leprosy was a communicable disease, deadly and very visible disease that would often cause people to lose parts of their body. In the soft tissue of their body, they would lose parts of their ear, their nose, maybe lips. They might even lose fingers and toes, things like that. It was very, very visible, caused an early demise, and was communicable. So people who had leprosy were pushed out of the culture that they grew up in. If you were part of a city and you had leprosy, you would be pushed out of that city and you would live in a colony of other people who had leprosy to protect the city from having that disease spread among the people who weren't infected. So here's what we see in this story. We see men from Galilee and men from Samaria, both pushed out of the place they belong because of their disease, because of their need. And now they inhabit the borderland together because they're no longer welcome in the community they belong to.
[00:16:38] And where was Jesus walking in the border?
[00:16:43] There's something we have to see in this story.
[00:16:45] It's really important. It's this desperation destroys division.
[00:16:53] When we're desperate, all of the divisions, all of the ways that we define ourselves as different, better, worse, whatever, than other people go away.
[00:17:03] When you're hungry, you need food. Rich or poor, when there's war, you are not safe, and you have to escape. If you're in the icu, rich, poor, whatever race, whatever background, someone else still has to wash you. You can't do it on your own. Desperation destroys division. When we're desperate for the same thing, when we're desperate for the same thing, when we all have the same need, it no longer matters who did what, who had what, who has what. It only matters whether we get what we need.
[00:17:38] Here's another way to say that there's only one line and if you want in, you get in line.
[00:17:50] There's only one line this story paints a physical picture of a spiritual reality is what the Bible calls sin. It's not going to surprise you to hear that this morning.
[00:18:02] We have all sinned. In other words, we're all infected. We were all created to be with God in relationship with God.
[00:18:09] But our disease, sin, the thing that we have done and that has been done to us, pushed us out of that relationship with God. In other words, we're all desperate. See, we have a tendency as humans because we see that different sins have different effects.
[00:18:26] We have a tendency to believe that there are different punishments for sins. Spiritually, we have a tendency to believe that, well, there are little sins and those little sins don't really matter that much. So there should be a line to get into heaven. There should be a line for people who haven't been divorced, and then there should be a line for people who have been divorced. And there should be a line for people who only made out a little bit in high school. And then there should be a different line for people that, you know, did a whole bunch of other stuff in high school. And then there should be a line for people that read their Bible every day, and there should be a line for people that don't.
[00:19:02] This is kind of how we imagine because when we think of sin, we see the physical effects of sin. When God calls something sin, it's based in reality. God isn't arbitrary. He doesn't say, don't do that, because he wants to test you, because he likes making things hard for you. If he calls something sin, it's because it's deadly, it does harm. And different sins have different physical effects in the world. If you're angry, please punch them, don't shoot them.
[00:19:26] Right? It's better to not punch them because it's all sin, right? But if you're going to pick one has a worse effect in the world than the other. We can see that, right?
[00:19:36] One has more effect in the world. If you get mad at me, please punch me, don't shoot me.
[00:19:44] But because it has a different effect in the world, this is what we imagine. We imagine that salvation looks like this. It looks like this football field image. I had ChatGPT, aka the Antichrist, make this picture for me.
[00:19:57] You would be shocked at how hard it is to get ChatGPT to get the numbers right on a football field. It took so long. It's supposed to save time. It didn't.
[00:20:06] This is the way we imagine it. We imagine that this end zone right here is salvation.
[00:20:10] That's where we're all trying to go. This is our kind of popular, normal American concept of faith. The end zone is where we're trying to go.
[00:20:18] And you know, maybe I. Well, I tried weed once in high school, but I didn't really like it and I didn't really party after that. I wasn't. I mean, I stayed mostly on the right path since then. So I'm probably on like the five yard line. I mean, I had that one little blotch on my record, but probably like on the five yard line. But that guy over there, he sells weed.
[00:20:37] That guy's addicted.
[00:20:39] He's probably like on the 30 yard line and she. Well, we all know what she used to do. I mean, we know the reputation she has. So she's probably like on the 45 yard line and that person has multiple felonies. They're probably on the other team's 20.
[00:20:56] And we imagine that Jesus wants to get us into salvation. But what we think is, well, Jesus doesn't have to move me as far as he has to move them.
[00:21:06] I didn't do as much right. Those people committed sins that had way worse effects in the world.
[00:21:13] So therefore I'm in a different place. I can get in a different line. These other people can't pay for it themselves, but I've saved up and I've worked really hard. So I think I can just put this meal on my credit card or I think I can just go into my spiritual savings account and I'll be fine. I don't really need the same love and mercy and forgiveness everybody else does. I am in a different line. I'm in a different place on the field, but there's only one line.
[00:21:41] See, here's a better way to imagine what salvation actually looks like. If we want to picture, it's this next image here, which I also had ChatGPT make for me, which is why it's real goofy.
[00:21:53] Imagine that this side, your right side of the picture, the gray side is salvation and the side on your left is not.
[00:22:06] Is anybody closer to salvation than anybody else?
[00:22:10] No, because there's only two places to be. There's saved and there's not.
[00:22:15] The only meaningful division of humans that we can ever create is there are people that are saved and people Jesus is still trying to save.
[00:22:22] It's the only meaningful division of humans.
[00:22:27] There's only one door to go through.
[00:22:30] There's only one line.
[00:22:34] Felons go through the same line as Sunday school teachers, Heroes and villains go through the same line. They go through the same door.
[00:22:49] There's only one I am either with Christ or I am not with Christ.
[00:22:55] That's the division. See, that's what we misunderstand. Sin separates us from God. We don't get pushed farther away from God spiritually because we s.
[00:23:05] Now our ability to hear and receive God as followers of Jesus gets diminished the more we knowingly live in sin. Right? It's like playing really loud music. And now you can't hear much anymore. But when we are not with Christ, it's not that one person's sin puts them a little bit separate. And one person's sin makes them way more separate. Sin separates us from God. We were created to be with God in relationship with Him. Sin put us all in a different room. Now we're all doing crazy different things in that room, but we're all in the same room.
[00:23:40] And we all go through the same thing. The death and resurrection of Jesus. Jesus said, I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. Another way to say that there's only one line.
[00:23:53] There's only one way in.
[00:23:57] Now, we like to imagine once again that there's a section for people like me. And it's different from the section for people like you.
[00:24:11] There's a section for people that did what I did. And there's a section for people who did what you did.
[00:24:18] First thing I want to tell you. The most important thing I want to tell you this morning is that Jesus changes anything.
[00:24:24] If you're here this morning and you're thinking, look, I know church is for all these other people. I know God forgives some stuff, but he couldn't forgive me. You don't know what I did. You don't know how many times I did it. You don't know what I've gotten away with. You don't know what I got caught doing. You're right. I don't know. I don't know what you did. But I do know Jesus. And I know that Jesus forgives all sin. That all sin falls under the blood of Christ for anyone who seeks Him. That means Jesus can and will change anything. He can and will forgive anyone. Anyone. There is no one who is too far. There is no one who is too corrupt. There is no one who cannot come to Christ and receive the forgiveness and mercy of his salvation. There is no one who's too far. Jesus changes anything. And if Jesus changes anything, he can change even you. I don't have to Know your story. And I don't have to know what you did to know that Jesus can change anything. Jesus forgives anything. Because if Jesus will forgive me, then Jesus will forgive you. If Jesus will forgive us, Jesus will forgive. Forgive you. There's only one line. And we all get the same forgiveness. All of our sins sent Jesus to the same cross. Jesus didn't pay more for one person than he did for the other. There's one line, and anyone who gets in line gets in.
[00:25:42] That should be exciting to us.
[00:25:45] But it's usually just uncomfortable to us because we would all rather not be in line with someone.
[00:25:52] Can we be honest about that?
[00:25:54] All got someone we'd rather not stand in line with?
[00:25:59] There's only one line.
[00:26:02] Now, look, some of you might be thinking, cj, this is not fair.
[00:26:07] What you're describing about God isn't fair that God would treat everybody the same. I haven't done what other people did.
[00:26:18] Why would God treat me like a felon?
[00:26:22] Why would God treat me like a terrorist? Why would God treat me the same way he treats everyone else?
[00:26:30] You're right. It's not fair.
[00:26:32] It's not fair at all. In fact, fair is a word that's completely incompatible with the Gospel.
[00:26:37] Fair doesn't work. We want our judges and our police officers to be fair. We do not want God to be fair. Listen, I promise. You don't want God to be fair. We like to imagine that I've done a little bit bad and if I just do enough good, then I can balance it out. But. But you don't want fair in that category. And just to make this point, let me give you an illustration. We know. We know this. It's been proven. You can research it on your own. We know that things like pornography are the demand that creates the supply of human trafficking. You cannot disconnect pornography from slavery, from human trafficking. So if someone. If we have looked at pornography, then we have directly, knowingly participated in the thing that creates the demand for human trafficking. I have been on the receiving side of human trafficking.
[00:27:21] How much good do I have to do to make up for profiting off of slavery?
[00:27:27] How much good would I have to do to balance it out?
[00:27:32] The point is, we don't want fair.
[00:27:36] Fair is God stays in heaven and we all die for our sins.
[00:27:42] The gospel is that we didn't.
[00:27:46] Fair doesn't work.
[00:27:48] God gives salvation to anyone who trusts him and transformation to anyone who seeks it. This is the last thing I want to tell you this morning.
[00:27:57] God isn't fair in the way he gives out forgiveness. He gives it out to everyone, deserve it or not, because none of us do deserve it. And he gives out transformation. Transformation does not follow the lines of fair either. Transformation goes to anyone who seeks it. We tend to assume that transformation, the people who walk in the most righteousness, the people who become the most Christlike, who experience the most holiness, whatever word you want to use for it on earth, we tend to imagine that those are the people who made the fewest mistakes. If you grew up and you didn't make the big mistakes other people did, you're probably going to walk closer to Jesus. You're probably going to become more Christ like because you didn't get as far away. That's how we imagine. My experience and the things I've observed as a pastor is that the opposite is usually true.
[00:28:41] Because those of us who maybe don't feel like we've made big mistakes haven't yet seen how beautiful the forgiveness and transformation of Jesus is. We don't think we need that much transformation. So we don't seek him for much transformation. Because we don't seek him for much transformation. We don't grow to become like him that much. We wind up coasting through life. But it's the people who were so far from Jesus, it's the people that didn't think God could ever love them. When they see that God loves them, they're willing to do anything they can to become like Him. When they see clearly how broken they used to be, when they see clearly how entrapped to sin they used to be, they won't stop until they get every ounce of freedom and Christlikeness that they can get. When they were completely purposeless, they cry out to God unceasingly, for purpose. When they were completely addicted, they cry out to God unceasingly for freedom. When they were completely bitter and angry, they cry out to God unceasingly for peace and love for their enemies.
[00:29:36] God gives transformation to anyone who seeks it. So I want to tell you this morning, if you're here and you think God wouldn't love me, God wouldn't forgive me. I promise you he would. I promise you he does. I promise you he will give forgiveness to you, yes, even you, if you will just ask him for it. And if you're here today, trapped, stuck, if you're a Christian who has plateaued, you haven't grown in a long time, you feel like you're just good in life, you feel like you don't really have any more growth to do I want to tell you, please, don't miss out on the transformation Jesus is offering you. There's more healing. There's more transformation. Don't be the Jewish men with leprosy who never saw how significant their healing was. Be the Samaritan who watched the wounds disappear and said, everything changed and I have to go seek Jesus.
[00:30:26] Be that guy.
[00:30:28] Be the one who sees what you were forgiven. Even if you don't feel like it was much. Look at Jesus on the cross and say, anything that guy wants to give me, I want.
[00:30:38] Anything he'll give me, I'll take because I want every.
[00:30:44] I want every ounce of righteousness he can give me.
[00:30:48] Don't plateau.
[00:30:49] Don't settle for good enough. Don't try to force life to be fair. It never will be.
[00:30:57] Take everything Jesus will give you.
[00:31:00] Let's pray.
[00:31:05] Jesus, you keep giving us generously more than we could ask or imagine.
[00:31:14] God, make us all completely discontent with staying as we are today.
[00:31:21] God, for those of us that don't think you can forgive us, God, would you show us? Would you fill our hearts with your love right now? For those of us that have gotten too comfortable and we've stopped growing, we've stopped seeking you, we've started looking at other people and saying, at least I'm not like them. God, would you disrupt our comfort and make us long for your transformation, make us long to become more and more like you, that we would not miss out? We would not stop seeking anything that you'll give us?
[00:31:49] We love you, Jesus.
[00:31:51] Amen.
