[3370.14 --> 3372.12] for you are all one
[3372.12 --> 3372.98] in Christ Jesus.
[3373.10 --> 3374.28] in the same language,
[3374.66 --> 3376.06] heirs according
[3376.06 --> 3376.94] to the promise.
[3378.22 --> 3379.38] You are all
[3379.38 --> 3380.56] fully privileged,
[3381.14 --> 3382.02] free children
[3382.02 --> 3382.66] of God.
[3383.94 --> 3384.92] This has been
[3384.92 --> 3385.64] God's plan
[3385.64 --> 3386.72] to restore
[3386.72 --> 3387.54] the brokenness
[3387.54 --> 3388.14] that came from
[3388.14 --> 3388.64] a rebellion
[3388.64 --> 3389.52] in the first place.
[3390.34 --> 3391.52] As we got to
[3391.52 --> 3392.80] welcome our new members,
[3393.06 --> 3394.24] as we got to witness
[3394.24 --> 3395.14] and promise
[3395.14 --> 3395.88] to journey with
[3395.88 --> 3396.30] Jabé
[3396.30 --> 3397.34] and Scarlett
[3397.34 --> 3398.00] and their family
[3398.00 --> 3399.06] and our new members,
[3399.06 --> 3401.68] we get to reflect
[3401.68 --> 3402.92] God's family.
[3404.62 --> 3406.22] This is our identity hope.
[3406.92 --> 3407.72] We are loved
[3407.72 --> 3408.34] and free
[3408.34 --> 3408.98] in Christ
[3408.98 --> 3409.86] as His children
[3409.86 --> 3411.06] and knowing
[3411.06 --> 3412.20] that you are
[3412.20 --> 3412.72] deeply
[3412.72 --> 3414.42] and unconditionally
[3414.42 --> 3415.18] loved,
[3416.68 --> 3416.96] bearing,
[3417.50 --> 3418.36] we are able
[3418.36 --> 3419.08] to then
[3419.08 --> 3420.16] bear one another
[3420.16 --> 3421.40] with love
[3421.40 --> 3422.74] and all the fruits
[3422.74 --> 3423.38] of the Spirit,
[3423.68 --> 3424.78] fruit of the Spirit,
[3424.84 --> 3425.88] that we get to look at
[3425.88 --> 3426.92] next week.
[3428.46 --> 3429.50] And as we become
[3429.50 --> 3430.36] more attentive
[3430.36 --> 3432.36] and freely receive
[3432.36 --> 3433.34] the love of the Father,
[3433.62 --> 3434.46] we can allow
[3434.46 --> 3435.40] His love
[3435.40 --> 3436.58] to overflow
[3436.58 --> 3438.52] through our lives
[3438.52 --> 3439.72] onto our neighbors,
[3440.04 --> 3440.56] our friends,
[3440.68 --> 3441.36] our co-workers,

[3451.36 --> 3452.42] and empowered
[3452.42 --> 3453.88] by God's own Spirit.
[3454.20 --> 3455.74] We do not do this alone.
[3455.88 --> 3457.30] There is no way
[3457.30 --> 3459.08] we can even reflect
[3459.08 --> 3460.04] God's goodness
[3460.04 --> 3460.78] if it were left
[3460.78 --> 3461.72] to our own devices.
[3462.56 --> 3463.86] God's own Spirit
[3463.86 --> 3465.08] has called us
