Hello, my name is Jackson Moody.

I serve in Kids Village and I also serve on the student leadership team.

There was a time in my life when I was a slave to my desires and I was in shame because of it.

But when I let Jesus into my life, I didn't have to fear anymore because he broke that

shame down and I can have confidence that my sin is paid for and that I've been freed.

Okay. Okay.

The passage that I'm going to be reading from is Hebrews chapter 10, verses 23 through 25.

It says, let us hold on to the confession of our hope without wavering, since he who promised is faithful.

And let us consider one another in order to provoke love and good works, not neglecting to gather together as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging each other and all the more as you see the day approaching.

This is the word of the Lord.

Well, good morning. If you have your Bibles, that will be it. We were going to walk kind of

phrase by phrase through that. So if you want to open up to that, that will be great. I hope you had a good Thanksgiving.

We hosted this year.

So the Chandler crew rolled into our house.

You can imagine that's loud and large.

And we hosted.

And then four or five hours later, people began.

I don't know about your family.

There's always like a group that lingers a little bit longer. you're like, bro, there's no, there's no breakfast a part of this.
