Good morning my live build change friends. We are here to live our faith in an

radical authentic genuine way. This is not about religious activity, it's not about

doing rituals or certain prayers or even observing communion, the Lord's supper, as

good as that is. Those things are all great, but they're not

the point of our faith. Our faith is to be lived out, is to be demonstrated in lives that are consistent with the Gospel message of Jesus Christ,

the message of God's love for humanity, and redemption no matter how deep our sin goes.

Our lives are to reflect that.

We're to live in a way that we demonstrate nothing is more precious to us than our Savior Jesus Christ and then his plan for this world.

Today we're looking at John Chapter 14 and it's a passage that's so familiar and so comforting.

And we're down to verse 8 and Jesus is having a conversation here with his disciples.

And Philip, one of his disciples says to him, Lord, show us the Father, and it will be enough for us.

Now I've got to hand it to Philip here.

Philip saw something, very, very important here. He saw that understanding or knowing the father is all that he really needed.

His gut told him that his instincts were telling telling him that if we could just know God

if we just really know him authentically genuinely that would be enough that would be

all we need do you feel that way Do you have that sense in your own heart that if you could

really know the Father that would be enough? That's that's all you need. Well you need

to listen to Jesus response in verse. Number nine, Jesus says,

Have I been with you so long and you still don't know me, Philip?

Whoever has seen me has seen the father.

How can you say, show us the father?

Do you not believe that I am in the father and the father is in me?
