Hey, good people. This is Toray Roberts. Blessings to you and welcome to the One podcast.

I'm excited that you're here. One is a community of dynamic and vibrant thought leaders, preachers, teachers,

and just a community of wonderful people all together.

And we're excited to bring you this weekly podcast from our services from One in L.A.

If you haven't been the one, I encourage you to check it out.

You can go to One, the word one, o'n, dot online, and find it all about the service times and all about the teachers and all the philanthropic things

that we have going, I believe you're going to be blessed to be a part of it.

And speaking of being blessed, we're getting ready to get into a teaching right now that I

believe is going to bless you.

So tune in, enjoy, and I'll be back with you at the end.

Normally I would read a passage before I would have you sit,

but it's a long one. I ain't going to do y'all like that.

Well, family, welcome back to Bible study.

We hear.

Oh, I miss this. mainly because I get to sit down. I don't got a pace and sweat.

Have me a nice little cushy chair. Above all, what I miss is that in particular on a midweek service,

and I've said this a few times, it takes a lot for you to interrupt your routine

and fight through that, otherwise known as Los Angeles traffic,

and to decide that this was a place that you not only thought

was a good idea, but was a necessity.

So my earnest prayer, as we've decided this would be the year we would be our most spiritually

excellent. Let this habit and practice be a part of that spiritual excellence as well.
