We welcome you now to a true church perspective with Pastor G. Craig Lewis.

First Peter three and eight. Finally, be ye all of one mind. Somebody say one mind.

Having compassion one of another. Love as brethren. Be pitiful. That's toward each other and be what courteous this is peter laying down

how we should behave now when we're talking about this particular season these are things that we need

to understand as far as our behavior these are the things that help us feel better about this season. So when the

season roll around, you don't get depressed. You don't feel bad. You don't start hating Santa.

Oh, I hate Santa and reindeer. You just, you know, you just get, you get angry because of, of

past issues that you've had with this season. We want to break that. So when the season,

this season rolls around, you're feeling loved, you want to love, you want to do kind things

toward people, and you feel good about this season. Now, you should feel good all the time.

But it's something about this season that causes people to go into depression and

mood swings and feeling bad. And it's always tied to the previous years of going through certain

things. So we want to keep you in this, keep you feeling good about this season. But it starts

right here. Look at somebody say right

here it starts here in the church and this is what peter's talking about in the church as a body

of believers we are to we we ought to all be of one mind having compassion one with another

loving as brethren being pitiful and being courteous.

During the holiday season, we should make a special effort to represent the church well by

understanding one another.

How many of you can honestly say that you have a better understanding of the people in here

than you had when you first came.

Amen. You learn. When I go talk to this one, I have to talk this way. I have to talk this way.
