This is the best.

This is the best.

Y'all, I'm so excited for the conversation that we're about to have.

And I just want to remind you, I mean, I hope you already know this, but we have the most

intentional God.

He is so intentional.

If you ever think to yourself, wow, that's such a coincidence.

I was just thinking that. I was just praying about that. I was just talking to a friend about that. I just want to encourage you, that's not a coincidence. That's God. That's God listening to you, speaking to you. And already, as we were listening to Earl, he was saying things. And we're looking at each other, we're like, did you tell him we were talking about that? Did you tell him we were talking about? And that's not a coincidence. That's just how good God is. He's a word for us. And I just pray and encourage you guys to open your ears to hearing what God has for you. Open your heart to receiving. Open your eyes to seeing all the things he's going to do that's personal to you.

Today we're going to talk about the idea of the process, the process to perfection,

the process to sanctification. And I don't know if you all heard, but Earl already started

talking about it. And I love how he was just talking about how Jesus is in the process.

And the reason that we want to talk about the process is because our generation, we tend to kind

of have a problem with the idea of process.

Would you all agree with that?

We can't have a problem with the process.

And it's not really necessarily fully our fault that we have a problem with the process.

Part of the problem is anything that there is a process to, we've treated it as if that is a problem and we need to fix the problem. We shouldn't have to have a process for anything. For instance, if we want food, we shouldn't have to have the process to go to the grocery store and make food. We should just order food. It should come to our house. The grocery should be delivered, or not even that. We'll just order our meal from any restaurant and it should just get there. Like, the process is a problem. We shouldn't have to, you know, go to the library and study. We should just ask chat, GPT, and it can just give us the answers. We shouldn't have to have a process. We should just get an answer.

We should just get to the product.

We should just get to the thing.

And there's a real problem with that.

Because as Earl already said, Jesus is in the process.

And so we can't just skip the process
