Hey church happy February it is Black History Month in the United States of America.

wherever you are watching this wherever in the world you are watching this that

you garner strength and encouragement and life from the minutes

and moments that we share. I am shooting this before the Super Bowl. Now if you're

Because as a kid, I grew up not knowing much about the World Cup. I know it's

gross it's ridiculous. Shout out to the Netflix documentary on the World Cup. It is so good by the

way but the Super Bowl has come and gone. But as I'm

shooting this, it has not yet. And I want to make a prediction. I believe

Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens will by now while we're

watching this be celebrating a Super Bowl win. So we'll find out if I was

accurate and right when this airs but nonetheless happy month of February all over the

world I hope you enjoy the minutes and moments we shared around Romans chapter 8

I am continually encouraged by the book of Romans. I think the

Roman Christians for me, those following the way of Jesus in ancient Rome, speak so
