Hey, I'm Judah. You're about to hear a message about Jesus. Thank you so much for joining us.

I hope it is an encouragement to you personally. I want to remind you if there's anything we can do to serve you,

please go to churchhome.org. Join us on Pastor Chat. We want to ensure that you feel loved and cared for.

All right, let's get to it. Here's the message.

Hey church, Happy New Year. Here we are on January 1st. It actually seems like yesterday a friend of mine looked at me and said,

it's the month of November. November's past, December's past, and here we are January 1st. Happy New Year. Happy 2023.

The further we get away from the year 2000, the older I feel. Because 2000 is still, this is, bear with me as I talk to everyone who's middle-aged out there.

But 2000 still seems like kind of a young year, you know, kind of like a cool notion. And that was 23 years ago.

I want to shout out to everyone. By the way, you can tell I'm 44 because I'm still using the term shout out.

But I'll shout out everyone who was like into Y2K. Do you remember that? I don't know why. Just a little bit reflective of nostalgia today on January 1st.

Y2K, it honestly seems like yesterday. We were talking about the computers are going to go from 99 to 2000. And the whole thing is going to fall apart.

And well, it didn't. And here we are. We have made it into 2023. It's incredible. And I hope that before we jump into this brand new series, we'll talk about dreaming.

I want to talk about dreaming again. We have gone through such unprecedented days and minutes and moments and months and years collectively as human beings around the world.

I want to talk about looking forward to your future. Me and some of my closest friends. In fact, we say it nearly every day. There is so much to look forward to.

We also like to say that we got the rest of our lives to go dancing or the rest of our lives to play golf or the rest of our lives to spend time together and pray together and love each other. And it's true.

There's so much to look forward to in 2023. We got the rest of our lives to love each other to love Jesus to serve one another.

I am happy to announce we are in Denver, Colorado. So many people here in Denver, Colorado, who have joined church home and are practicing their faith in different mediums.

Of course, most of which are practicing their faith using technology and using the app. And so we are in beautiful semi snowy Denver, Colorado.

If you had never been to Colorado in the United States of America, you got to come. The air is just about the purest, most amazing air in the world.

And I got to admit something. I asked for a glass of water this morning and someone just grabbed a glass, put it under the faucet and hand it to me.

And I was like, wait a minute. And then you drink the water here in Colorado and you're like, oh, wow, that's how water is supposed to taste.

It's so good. So I want to say hello to everybody here in Denver, Colorado. And again, happy new year. We're going to jump into this series called dream again.
