[1625.98 --> 1627.48] in spite of the lies |
[1627.48 --> 1628.88] you followed for so long. |
[1630.50 --> 1631.88] I want you to think about that. |

[1636.84 --> 1638.42] we'll then have the bread together |
[1638.42 --> 1639.36] and then we'll have the juice together |
[1639.36 --> 1643.10] and we'll then refocus heavily on Jesus. |
[1644.68 --> 1646.02] I invite the elders and deacons |

[0.00 --> 10.24] Well, good morning, Hope. |
[13.82 --> 21.10] So last Friday, I was looking over Pastor Sid's sermon notes, and I noticed that he |
[21.10 --> 25.28] had Romans 7 in his sermon notes, and I said to him, I actually texted him, I said, Sid, |
[25.28 --> 28.50] I see that you're preaching on Romans 7, like, I just want you to know I'm preaching |
[28.50 --> 31.76] on that next week, so try not to steal that from me. |
[31.84 --> 34.70] And he said to me, and I quote, I'll just touch on it. |
[36.48 --> 38.60] Then you, yeah, you know where this is going. |
[38.72 --> 42.96] So Sid's preaching last Sunday, and I'm like, man, he's saying a lot about Romans 7. |
[43.58 --> 48.34] He's making a lot of the same points I want to make next week, and so I'm not going to |
[48.34 --> 50.34] preach on Romans 7 because that's already been done. |
[50.48 --> 52.00] Thank you, Sid, wherever you are. |
[55.20 --> 56.98] So instead, I'm going to pass it forward. |
[56.98 --> 60.34] I'm going to steal from Pastor Jonathan's sermon next week and preach on 1 John. |
[61.78 --> 65.36] I actually am going to preach on 1 John because that does dovetail with his sermon. |
[65.50 --> 66.94] I'm not going to do what Sid did to me. |
[67.58 --> 71.56] If you have your Bible, digital or physical, turn with me to 1 John. |
[71.64 --> 73.12] We're going to start reading at verse 5. |
[73.12 --> 79.46] This is the message. |
[79.80 --> 82.66] We have heard from him and declare to you. |
[83.58 --> 85.52] God is light. |
[86.14 --> 87.96] In him there is no darkness at all. |
