How do you really live it up? If you and I could spend some one-on-one time together, maybe after church, we’d go to Wendy’s or Dunkin Donuts, and I’d ask you “What do you want to get out of life?” Most people would say, in whatever words they would choose to use, “I want to live it up!”, or some other words, like “I want to have a great life” or “I just want to be liked.” Nobody wakes up in the morning and says, “Boy, I really hope my life sucks today.” You just don’t do that. If you’re breathing and you’re alive, you want to live it up. You want to live life to the fullest. But, alot of times, what the world says is this: the way for you to live it up is if you drink it up, if you party it up, if you smoke it up, if you sex it up, if you buy it up. People try to do all that stuff, and what happens is, after they’ve done it all, they feel a little empty- maybe a lot empty. That wasn’t the answer to living it up…no, I’m here to tell you tonight that there is a key I want to give you about living a maximum life, and it is all about what the flocks have been reading about this past week – growing together and connecting into deep relationships.
What am I saying? What I am saying is that if you want to live it up, you’ve got to connect in deep relationships. I’m not talking about a friendship- sure, a friendship is a relationship, but often not a very deep one. In fact, most of our friendships are really like the relationships Derek talked about when CCC first started the 40 Days of Community a few weeks ago- that is, if you look closely and are honest with yourself, most of our “friendships” are pretty superficial- which is a five dollar word for shallow, phony, not real. Don’t get me wrong- I don’t want you to leave here tonight and tell all your friends you don’t want to be their friend anymore and accuse them of being phony or shallow. That’s not the point.
But, a friendship is when you put yourself at the center. You say, “I don’t want to be lonely this Friday night, so I need a friend.” “I don’t want to walk to school by myself, so I need a friend.” It’s more “I”- centered. It’s when yourself is at the center – that’s a friendship. Anybody can do that- ever noticed just how easy it is to put yourself first, front and center?
But there is a deeper level of friendship. At some point, maybe Christ is the common bond between the friends. Johnny has a relationship with Christ, and his friend Tommy also has a relationship with Christ- now, Johnny and Tommy have a relationship that’s deeper than a friendship- they have a relationship called “fellowship.”
Fellowship is another word you have probably heard thrown around a lot…Fellowship is a little churchy, Bible word. It means that I might love another person as I love myself, a deeper, I-want-to-care-for-you friendship. What I’m suggesting, if you really want to live it up in life, is that you’ve got to connect with at least a couple of other people at a deeper level.
Now, you may be asking Why? Is that a big deal? Why is a deep, connecting relationship a big deal? I have tons of friends and people I know at school, at work, even here at church. But I want to ask you- could you honestly rely on them if you had a problem, and more importantly, could they rely on you if they had a problem? Would you really listen to them with a soft, caring heart, or would you be a stone-faced sounding board, quickly bored with their problem, and looking for someone to come by, or for your cell phone to ring so you could get out of the discussion?
The first reason you need this deeper, meaning relationship is that many of us in here are lonely. We won’t admit it to the people that are sitting to your left or to your right. And it doesn’t matter if you are a girl or a guy. We disguise it under the appearance of being cool, like Derek said last week. But many of us in here are lonely. It’s not something that’s the first thing out of your mouth – “By the way Whitty, I’m lonely!” We usually don’t do that. But we all have the emptiness. There are some of you in here, no matter how cool you look, how cool you talk, how cool the stuff you have- you’re screaming out, “Could somebody just like me for who I am? Do I have to be in ‘this’ clique to be liked? Do I have to smoke ‘this’ to be liked? Do I have to drink alcohol to be liked? Do I have to have pre-marital sex to be liked? Do I have to party to be liked? Do I have to have a boyfriend or girlfriend to be liked? Good God Can’t you just like me for who I am?!”
Let me read you a letter a 16-year-old girl recently write to her youth pastor in a town in the mid west: She writes, “I am 16. I spend time at both my mom and my dad’s house. I feel like I’m an inconvenience to both of them. At my mom’s house, I don’t have a room. My mom isn’t there for me when I need her because she always has something more important to do. At least that’s how it feels to me. I’m having trouble with my so-called ‘friends.’ Everyone seems so fake. There’s no depth in our conversation. It’s all about gossip, tearing each other and others down, and lies. It’s hard to know who true my friends are. I used to think I wanted popularity. Now I’ve got it, and it’s not what I want. What I really want is one friend – just one friend, who is real, accepting, and loving. And if this isn’t possible, I’m not sure my life is worth living.”
This may or may not describe you. My guess is that if you re-read this letter, many of you could have easily wrote it. And that’s why my claim is that if you don’t have a deep, connecting friendship, you will have this hollowness or emptiness or loneliness about you. On the flip side, when you do have some vibrant friendships, some deep friendships, some friendships that break the surface level, that are not fake like that girl wrote in her letter, or superficial like Derek talked about a few weeks ago, you will feel full in your soul. You’ll live life differently. You’ll actually live it up. It’s one of the key ingredients. What’s gets to me, in a world of cell phones, wireless communication, instant messengers, myspace pages, pagers, video phones, is that we have all this technology to help us connect, and yet we’re lonelier than we’ve ever been. Our cell phones are connected. Our Comcast internet access is connected. Then why do I feel so disconnected?! And people, let me clue you in on a little secret- it’s not just one or all of you at the RISE tonight that may feel disconnected…no, I confess in front of all you, that often, I feel disconnected. So you are not alone. Feeling lonely or disconnected is not a kid thing, not a student thing, not a youth thing. It’s a human thing. And God knew this would be a problem from the beginning of time, from the Garden of Eden, when he said in Genesis 1:18- “It is not good for the man to be alone, I will make him a helper who is right for him.” And, with God’s grace, we were never intended to be alone again- we were formed to be in a deep, meaningful relationship.
But, the more important reason why deep, meaningful relationships are important is because God created us to be in relationships. Maybe some of you don’t believe this. You believe that you evolved from some ooze millions and millions of years ago. Okay. If that’s the case, then there’s really no reason for connecting in relationships, there’s no reason for the flocks, and there is no reason for the RISE.
The Bible says He created us in His image and we can have a personal relationship with Him, and because of that, we can have relationships with one another. Here’s a pretty cool way to think about it- people are most happy when they have this vertical relationship with God and a horizontal, deep, connecting relationship with other people, especially other beleivers. It’s like the cross- a vertical relationship with God, and a horizontal deep connecting relationship with others (make sign of cross).
Sometimes when I say that, that Our God is a personal God, some of you get a little confused. And let me tell you, when I say that to people in my family from Delaware, or to people at work, you would think I just landed from Mars! A personal God? You mean like God’s a little genie in a lamp, and I just rub it, and He does whatever I want? Or God is a divine puppet that I can control, a cosmic bellhop. You ring a bell, and He’ll come running. No, that’s not our God. Our God isn’t subject to your imagination.
When I say He’s a personal God, what I mean by that is He’s not IMpersonal. He’s not a lifeless energy force that just set the world spinning, like some people believe, and then He took off. God is very relational. He created you to have a relationship with Him and with other people.
What’s amazing is people function better, people feel better, food tastes better, the air smells fresher, all when we have deep, connecting relationships. There’s something about how God has wired us that we do better with other people. We are indeed better together.
I haven’t done all the research on this so excuse me if I sound a little off on this. But I recently heard about something a little bizarre. It’s called Kangaroo Therapy. Kangaroo Therapy is this new type of relational therapy. When babies are born after a full 9-month pregnancy, the average baby is somewhere between seven and nine pounds. But, there’s another type of baby that is born early. They call it a premature baby. Maybe you’ve heard of “preemies.” Some of you are pretty familiar with this- you may have been a preemie, had one in your family, or a friend’s family. Preemies are born anywhere from 1.5 – 2 pounds to 4 or 5 pounds. They’re just born early, and they’re very, very small. This baby can’t go home with the parents so they are put it in a little incubator. When it’s in the incubator, it will gain about an ounce a day. So if my math is right, it’ll take about sixteen days for it to gain a pound.
What they’re finding with Kangaroo Therapy is that, if the parents come in and hold the baby up against themselves like a baby is held by a Kangaroo parent, the baby can gain up to ten ounces a day.
Is there a connection here? You bet there is. In isolation, in that incubator, the preemie baby doesn’t grow as much. In relationship or in connection to another person, the baby flourishes and grows. The reason I tell you this is it’s a great picture of how God has wired us and designed us. We work best when we’re connected in a deep, meaningful relationship to somebody else, even if it’s a baby that cannot speak.
As a matter of fact, there is something equally as fascinating- if you take Christianity all the way back to its roots, what do you find? Relationships.
Here’s a snapshot: Jesus, two thousand years ago, walked the earth – God in flesh. He lived a perfect life to die for our sins. The last three years of His life, from years 30 – 33, he began what is known as His public ministry, where He began to teach about God. Everything you need to know about God isn’t about these rules and regulations that you must follow about what you must wear and must eat, and how or when to pray, or how much money you should give the church. It’s about a relationship with God.
One of His followers was named Peter. Sometimes, when I read the life of Peter, it describes me. His spiritual journey has all kinds of ups and downs. He’s loud, obnoxious, and impulsive. He got a little wild one time when they came to arrest Jesus, and he pulls out his sword and goes to strike the dude and cuts off his ear. Jesus said, “Whoa. Time out. That’s not what we’re about.” But after Jesus was crucified on the cross and arose from the dead and ascended to heaven, the beginning of Christianity started with just these believers in Jesus. I don’t know how many, but not a lot.
In Acts 2:38, Peter gives a message: ’Each of you must turn from your sins and turn to God and be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins.’ Then those people who accepted what Peter said were baptized. About three thousand people were added to the number of believers that day.”
If you read the book of Acts, that’s where it started. One message, people believed, and they were added to the church.
In the beginning of the church, notice what they did. “They joined with other believers then devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and fellowship, sharing in the Lord’s supper and in prayer…and all the believers met together constantly and shared everything they had. They sold their possessions and shared the proceeds with those in need.”
“They were joined with those of like mind.” It wasn’t people who dressed like them, or came from the same type of homes. It was people who were like-minded in the faith. They believed that Jesus Christ was God in the flesh, the Son of God who died on the cross for the payment of our sins. They were joined with like-minded people.
They were committed to grow and learn. They said, “We’re going to learn more about this God that loves us and wants a relationship with us.” They were passionate about meeting needs. at’s the early church. That’s the roots of Christianity. They were joined together, they grew and learned, and they met needs. Some of us wouldn’t give our friends five bucks. But these guys sold everything they had to make sure people were taken care of. That’s more than a casual friendship- that’s the love Christ wants us to show each other in a true fellowship.
You might say, “So what?” Well, let me show you the results. Peter continues by saying “The believers met together in the Temple every day. They ate together in their homes, happy to share their food with joyful hearts. They praised God and were liked by all the people. Every day the Lord added those who were being saved to the group of believers.”
They praised God; they enjoyed relationships with each other. And on a daily basis, people were being saved. Why were people being saved? Because they were looking around and saying, “If this is Christianity, I want in. If this is how you treat each other, I want a part of it. If I can have a relationship with a personal God, I want in!”
So what I’m saying to you is, if you want to live it up, if you want to live life to its fullest, pursue those deep, meaningful, connecting relationships. Those are the relationships that changed the world 2 thousand years ago, and they will change your world as well.
So how do you do this? How can I have something better than a superficial or shallow friendship with people who are probably uninterested in me. Let me give you some action steps and some things to think about.
1. Recognizing your role in the body. No, not your body, but The body of Christ. What does that mean? Romans 12:5 says “We are all parts of His one body, and each of us has different work to do. Since we’re all one body in Christ, we belong to each other. And each of us needs all the others.” [Needs each other- not needs myself- needs each OTHER].
Bob Hewitt has needs. Derek Jones has needs. Lauren Ferris has needs. Tim Conrad has needs. Firdaus Jones has needs. Matt Medeiros has needs. Kyle Whitty has needs. Mark Grinham has needs……..And those needs simply can’t be met by going to the ATM, getting some cash, and buying it- no, those needs are met by the fact that we belong to other people like-minded in the faith. I have needs that I belong to a body.
So what is your role? Your role is to belong to the body of Christ. When you are not connected to another person in the body of Christ, you’re not complete. You’re not fully alive.
Ephesians 4 says, “Under God’s direction, the whole body is fitted together perfectly. Each part does its own special work and helps the other parts grow so that the whole body is healthy and growing and full of love.”
So the first step is to burn the following thought in your mind and never forget it until the day you die: “I belong to the body of Christ.”
Step 2 - Take a step of faith to get connected.
I already suggested that each of us is lonely, but God created us to be in relationship. You’ve already done this to a degree. Just the fact that you walked into this sanctuary, maybe for your first time, it took a step of faith. A couple of weeks ago at Reality Check:Desperation, we had about 300 high school students come into this very sanctuary. It took faith for a lot of them to enter those doors, even if they only came for a chance to win an XBox. Some of you here- whether you have been coming for a long time or this is your first time at RISE, were invited by a friend: “Church? Dude! No way!” But, Hallelujah you get here, and it doesn’t feel like church. We have hung some murals on the wall, have some pretty cool lighting, a great youth band, not the typical church setting. And you may be saying, “Where’s the steeple? I don’t get it.” But you took a step of faith to come in here.
Who here went to Reality Check:Desperation? You know looking back at that great event, I am pretty sure there were at least 600 students from the surrounding area that knew that the event was taking place. Now, of the 300 or so students that went to Reality Check, there were probably another 300 that did not come because they didn’t have that faith. Even coming to an event like Reality Check may have been too scary for them. I understand that. I really do. But you have already taken that step of faith to be here tonight. I want to say to you, “One more step! Take that step to get connected.” Over the past few weeks we have been encouraging each of every one of you to sign up for a flock. And it’s never too late to join a flock, because it’s never, ever too late to establish a deep, meaningful relationship that you may enjoy for the rest of your life. I know first-hand. Before I came to RISE last September just to help out with powerpoint, I never really knew what a true, meaningful relationship was with someone outside of my marriage. And let me tell you, my marriage means everything to me- I have been married for 21 years, and my wife is still my best friend and supporter. But since coming to RISE last fall, I now have some true, meaningful relationships with others. I look at Derek and Firdaus, Matt, Lauren, and Tim, and I can tell you without a shadow of a doubt that they mean the world to me. I don’t see them as often as I would like, because we all have this life and work stuff all week. And I am not scared to tell them publicly that I love them, and would do anything I could for them. So, Derek, Firdaus, Matt, Lauren, Tim- I love you, and would do anything I could for you. I say the same thing to the guys in my flock, and I am not bashful or embarrassed to say it- Mark, Abe, Zach, Billy, Iverson- I love you guys, and would do anything I could for you.
Here’s a HUGE challenge- everyone stand up - could anyone of you here tonight say the same thing, honestly and with a straight face, to someone here who means to you what the guys in my flock or the youth leaders mean to me, that you love them? How many- raise your hands! Why wait? I challenge you to do this now! (okay, thanks, sit for just a few more minutes)
Saying I lover you or being part of a flock is real risky- I understand that. Especially for guys. Guys, I understand. We THINK we’ve got to be a little cooler. And the thought of being in a small group and talking about life issues and some hurts and needs, that’s a little scary, and on the surface, does not sound cool at all. And talking about loving each other- forget about it, right?
You know, this is one of the questions I have for God when we get to heaven – how He wired males and females differently. Remember last year when sometimes we would have small groups, and sometimes the small groups were broken into guy groups and girl groups. For the guy groups, we would get through the questions in about 7 minutes, and then we’re like “What else is there to talk about? So we talk about the usual stuff- sports, video games, cars, whatever. But Girls? C’mon now- they could come out of a small group like an hour later, and they are crying and telling each other “You’re my best friend! I love you. I know I just met you tonight!” Please don’t get me wrong- I’m not making fun of that. It’s just that as a guy, it’s hard to understand. So, another life lesson I need when I get to heaven about how we’re wired.
You’ve already taken a little bit of risk to come here, to come to a church, to come to a youth group on a Friday night when you could be somewhere else making some pretty dumb life choices, and hear about how much God loves you. That took risk. Risk of being outcast by your friends. Risk of being outcast by your family. Now I’m suggesting to you, if you really want to live it up, take a risk to be involved in a flock, to get connected in some deep, meaningful relationships.
While RISE calls these permanent small groups flocks, I did a little research. Like Derek said, there aren’t many Christian youth ministries that do anything like flocks- but there are a couple that may refer to them as something different- like small groups or cells. But I found an article about a similar church in California that has a flock-like system. This article was about the testimony of a 15 year-old girl named Brianna where God has used a small group of girlfriends to help her through some difficult times of life. And I’m going to have Lauren read what Briana told her youth group:
Briana: I’m going to tell you a little bit of how God has changed my life over the past fifteen years and all about the people God has brought into my life. Growing up was very hard for me. When I was young, my parents went through a very tough divorce. My dad was a drug addict who was never really around. He was in and out of recovery homes and even jail. He used all of our family’s money for drugs, causing the rest of my family to struggle to make house payments and even cover basic food expenses. I was so certain I was the only one like me, that no one else could relate to me or my situation. Feeling so alone, I kept all the pain bottled up inside.
The year of and the years that followed my parent’s divorce were the worst years of my life. I was lost and alone. With nowhere to turn, I found the one person who was always with me, hour after hour, day after day, year after year. This person was Jesus Christ. This is the first time in my life that I began to understand what a relationship with God was all about. I had always said I was a Christian but never really understood what that meant. And I definitely didn’t understand how God was always with me. In time, my family was able to restore trust with my father and recover the money that was lost to my dad’s drug addiction. Times were difficult, but together with God, we were able to make it.
Even though the struggle was pretty much over, the pain and hurt inside my heart wasn’t gone. In the meantime, my family started this local church. I was so aching for a friend and searching for the right path, the life that I wanted to live. I rededicated my life to Christ at summer camp in 7th grade. Immediately, I knew that I had found what I was missing. Jesus had been there all along. Through every moment of my pain, He was waiting for me to ask Him for help and for guidance. In rededicating my life to Jesus, it became clear that God had intended for me to make the life-long friendships that I have been looking for. The aching in my heart for connecting with others was slowly being dealt with. I found a great group of girls in my small group, especially my best friend, Brittany. I realized I could tell her anything. I found the life I wanted to live, and I wanted to live it with Jesus.
I guess I never really knew how great friendships could be. All three of my best friends go to my church. Brittany, Nicki, and Heather all play a special part in my life. We learn more and more from each other each day. I know I could trust them with anything and everything. With them, I finally felt free to talk about my problems and pain from the hurtful years with my dad. I now know that the friendships I have were put in my life for a reason. For this, I will always be grateful. There was a time where I tried to hide my secret pain. I was alone and empty. I needed the people in my life that cared about me. Now I have found the quality friendships I have been looking for. I don’t ever want to walk alone again.
I look back on all those hard, horrible situations, but all I can do is think positive about it all. I now know that I won’t make the same decisions my dad did with drugs because I saw how much it hurt me and what it did to him, his kids, his family, and his friend’s life. If all the stuff wouldn’t have happened, I wouldn’t have the friends I have now, and I wouldn’t be here speaking to you. Whenever I’m in a problem or hard situation, there’s a verse Jeremiah 29:11: “I say this because I know what I am planning for you," says the Lord. "I have good plans for you, not plans to hurt you. I will give you hope and a good future.” I remember that God has a perfect plan for each and every one of us. He has a reason for everything He does, and His plans are going to help us, prosper us. They won’t harm us.
I’m sure some of you out there are having a hard time with something, struggling with something. You may think that you’re the different one or that you have no one to turn to. Make the church you are sitting in right now your home like I did at my youth group. A relationship with Jesus will change your life for the best. We can’t do it alone. We need each other to help us do life. Scripture says, “I want us to help each other with the faith we have. Your faith will help me, and my faith will help you.” Through connecting with other people who care about me, God has changed my life in millions of ways, and I know He can change yours, too.
You know, I talk pretty loosely about risks all the time, but it took a lot of guts for Briana to share her story about how God works in the midst of all her pain with her youth group. It also takes a step of faith to get connected. I encourage you to do that.
Step 3 - Enjoy the benefits of belonging to others who care about you.
Once you realize you’re all in the body of Christ, you can take a risk to get connected. What are the benefits of belonging? It’s that you don’t have to go through life alone ever again. Let me repeat that. It means that you don’t have to worry about going through life alone again.
D Jones- do I ever have to worry about going through life alone again? Can I call you when I succeed or fail, can I call you when I hurt, or when something great happens? Mark, Abe, Zach, Billy, Iverson- you have the Revolution Man flock- if you make the effort to make it work, you will never ever have to face life’s problems alone again. That’s what flocks are about. The benefit of belonging is to know that, when you get in a time of hurt or trouble, people aren’t going to turn on you. If you live your life the world’s way, I guarantee you this. When you get in trouble, the world’s going to turn on you.
You can just blow off what I am saying, and just think what does Bob or any of these team leaders know about my life, and that’s fine. But just watch. When you live your life the world’s way and you get in trouble, those so-called friends will turn on you like a dime and will be nowhere to be found. The benefit of belonging and being a part of the body of Christ is the church isn’t going to turn on you. Those deep, meaningful friendships you’ve built centered around Jesus Christ, they won’t turn on you. They’ll be there for you. Some days it may not seem that way. Some days our friends from the body of Christ may seem like they don’t love you anymore. It’s not always all lollipops, rainbows, and good times. I can tell you that Derek and I do not always see eye to eye on everything. Does that mean I don’t love Derek anymore. No. It’s just the opposite. It means I love him more, because the backbone of our relationship is not superficial- it’s real.
I read something on Discoverychannel.com. I’m not totally into animals, not a veternologist – a veterinarian and zoologist merged together – I’m not one of those. But as I started poking around on this website, I read something fascinating. The wildebeest is this big, ugly nasty-looking animal. They look like they’re really strong. The females, when they crank out a wildebaby, when they give birth, what they do is try to get it up and walking immediately. But, the survival of the wildebeest is going down because of a certain animal – the hyena. The hyena comes around – one or two or three will circle a wildebeest and distract the mother and then eat the baby.
What’s fascinating about this is, just a few feet away, are hundreds, sometimes thousands, of wildebeests that could go there and help out that baby wildbeeste. But they don’t. Two or three hyenas will surround one of those Wildebeestes and take it on and eat their baby while all these other wildebeests are out doing their own thing. If one wildebeest would just go, “Hey, friends! Come over here. Let’s circle the hyenas and tromp on them!” But what are they doing? They’re out there kind of living their own life. Doing their own thing. Making THEMselves feel good. No Flocks. No Small Groups. No Youth Ministry. No deep, meaningful relationships. Just each wildbeeste looking out for themselves. Sounds a lot like what goes on outside the doors of this sanctuary every day. Maybe some of you feel isolated, lonely, defenseless, like that baby wildbeeste. But if you do, I have some terrific news for you. What that baby wildbeeste had to go through does not happen in the body of Christ, and hopefully the RISE and the flocks. When you’re in trouble, you’re not going to be alone. You enjoy the benefits of being deeply connected with other people because fellowship is not just “do you want to hang out at the mall?” – it’s “I love you as much as you love me.” It’s not surface. It’s not shallow. It’s not phony. It’s real, and it’s one of the keys to living it up.
The Bible says in Romans 1:12, “I’m eager to encourage you in your faith, but I always want to be encouraged by yours. In this way, each of us will be a blessing to one another.”
I love that Briana used that in her testimony. You help my faith; I help yours. That’s what the body of Christ does; we connect in deep and meaningful relationships.
Romans 12:16 says, “Live in harmony with each other. Don’t try to act important.” Don’t try to act important like you don’t need anybody. Don’t try to act important like you can live life on your own. You can’t. “Enjoy the company of ordinary people.” That’s one of the many things I love about this church, and especially about RISE.
If you want to live at the superficial level where you wonder who your friends really are, that’s your choice. If you want to live it up, live life to its fullest, take a risk to take it to the next level and have some deep, meaningful relationships. That’s one of the keys to living life to its fullest.
I thank you for giving me the time to talk about this tonight, and I hope it gives you something to think about. I hope that you would pray about it this week and come back next week to take the challenge and talk to Derek about joining a flock. Why go through life alone when God provides a new community to be a part of? Don’t miss this life-changing opportunity to journey with significant others. It all goes back to our creed from Matthew 7:7-8: “Ask, and God will give it to you. Search, and you will find. Knock, and the door will open for you.” That’s it- right there- just knock, and see what happens when the door is opened for you.
Let’s Prayer:
God, thanks that You are personal and You want a relationship with each one of us and You give us the power and the depth to have relationships with others. God, give us the courage, those of us in here that are scared to get connected, to take that step. Help us to recognize our role in the body, that we need each other, and we have a role. Thank You that You allow us to be a part of other people’s lives to make their lives better and our life better. God, we pray that we might be different people as we leave here tonight. We ask this in Jesus’ name. Amen.
