[1521.84 --> 1522.56] offers us
[1522.56 --> 1523.80] potential growth
[1523.80 --> 1524.20] in life.
[1524.44 --> 1524.96] It's interesting to me
[1524.96 --> 1525.44] when you think about
[1525.44 --> 1526.46] division in science
[1526.46 --> 1527.46] at the cellular level,
[1528.16 --> 1529.20] when the cells divide,
[1529.30 --> 1529.88] we have growth.
[1529.98 --> 1531.02] That's what growth is
[1531.02 --> 1532.24] through division.
[1532.94 --> 1533.62] I think that can be
[1533.62 --> 1534.28] true for us too.
[1534.68 --> 1535.46] Jesus brings
[1535.46 --> 1536.16] a division
[1536.16 --> 1537.46] that results in growth
[1537.46 --> 1538.58] if we follow Him.
[1538.84 --> 1539.56] He calls us
[1539.56 --> 1540.38] to pay attention
[1540.38 --> 1541.20] to our priorities
[1541.20 --> 1544.68] and to ensure
[1544.68 --> 1546.32] that we put Christ
[1546.32 --> 1548.04] above all else
[1548.04 --> 1550.40] because He's the source
[1550.40 --> 1551.20] of growth.
[1552.82 --> 1554.32] So we can love
[1554.32 --> 1555.40] and live life
[1555.40 --> 1555.80] through Him
[1555.80 --> 1557.10] with Him in charge
[1557.10 --> 1558.36] and thus enjoying life
[1558.36 --> 1559.04] in all its fullness.
[1560.10 --> 1560.74] And in that,
[1560.92 --> 1561.34] we love
[1561.34 --> 1562.24] and invite others
[1562.24 --> 1563.38] to do the same.
[1564.68 --> 1565.76] Would you pray with me?
[1569.98 --> 1570.76] Father God,
[1570.76 --> 1571.72] we thank You
[1571.72 --> 1572.66] that You are a God
[1572.66 --> 1574.64] who puts clearly
[1574.64 --> 1575.44] before us
[1575.44 --> 1577.18] light and dark,
[1577.46 --> 1578.12] life and death.
[1579.14 --> 1579.34] Lord,
[1579.42 --> 1580.50] may we have the wisdom
[1580.50 --> 1581.46] to surrender
[1581.46 --> 1582.70] our agenda
[1582.70 --> 1583.36] for Yours.
[1584.40 --> 1584.96] May we have
[1584.96 --> 1585.84] the wisdom
[1585.84 --> 1587.08] and the humility
[1587.08 --> 1588.54] to see we need
[1588.54 --> 1589.18] a Savior,
[1590.30 --> 1592.30] that You are the one
[1592.30 --> 1593.02] who will come
[1593.02 --> 1594.82] through Your death
[1594.82 --> 1595.54] and resurrection
[1595.54 --> 1596.70] to save us
[1596.70 --> 1597.60] from the brokenness
[1597.60 --> 1598.16] of sin
[1598.16 --> 1599.32] and death
[1599.32 --> 1600.60] and You will bring us
[1600.60 --> 1601.06] into life
[1601.06 --> 1601.70] in all its fullness.
[1602.18 --> 1602.36] Lord,
[1602.42 --> 1603.08] we praise You
[1603.08 --> 1603.46] for that.
[1603.52 --> 1604.44] We pray that we might
[1604.44 --> 1605.08] find ways
[1605.08 --> 1606.40] to share that gospel,
[1606.88 --> 1608.56] not in intentionally
[1608.56 --> 1609.72] confrontational ways,
[1609.94 --> 1611.02] not to win an argument,
[1611.36 --> 1612.36] but out of love
[1612.36 --> 1613.02] for You,
[1613.34 --> 1614.22] love for truth,
[1614.72 --> 1616.00] and love for one another.
[1617.10 --> 1617.56] So Lord,
[1617.64 --> 1618.34] give us Your wisdom,
[1618.48 --> 1619.26] give us Your strength.
[1619.46 --> 1620.02] We pray this
[1620.02 --> 1620.90] in the name of Jesus.
[1621.42 --> 1621.66] Amen.
[1621.66 --> 1621.76] Amen.
[1621.76 --> 1627.78] Lord,
[1629.70 --> 1629.82] please stand as we sing
[1629.82 --> 1629.84] our song of response.
[1630.38 --> 1630.66] Amen.
[1630.66 --> 1631.04] Amen.
[1631.04 --> 1631.20] Amen.
[1631.20 --> 1631.58] Amen.
[1631.70 --> 1632.32] Amen.
