We're so glad you're here. Welcome to Church Home. If you're new to our space to our community,

I hope that you meet some wonderful, happy, joyful people.

And if there's anything we can do for you to serve you or your family out in the lobby at all of our locations there's a next step bar and there's somebody there just to say hello.

I try to say that every time we're together because we want to be a small church with a lot of people.

And we also need this rain that seems very Old Testament to slow down a little bit. I saw animals lining up

two by two out there. Come on that's early for a Christian joke. Wow it is just really that that's, this is intense rain.

Well, if you're new again to our space,

my name's Judah and along with my wife of 19 years we get to serve here at church home with an amazing staff and every time we get together we focus on Jesus we think about Jesus. We believe Jesus is the antidote, the answer. We believe he is God. We believe he is God. We believe he's the only one that can forgive us of our air, our wrong, and our sin. We believe that he is the main theme. Church Home is anchored to Jesus. We believe that Church Home is more about Jesus and his perfection than ourselves and our imperfection.

We believe the only power to truly change is by focusing on Jesus.

And so you're going to pick up on that, hopefully pretty quick here.

I'm just really excited to share this message with you.

And the title of my message today is proof that God is in the

middle of your fear failure and family drama. I would like to prove to you that God

is in the middle of your fear, your failure, and your Christmas

family drama. God is right there. So we're going to go all the way to the first

book in the Bible, Genesis chapter 28. Genesis chapter 28, when I'm speaking, Philip and Philip and the guys will come back and

we'll sing some more songs about Jesus, which will be be which will be great. You feel good? I am 40 now and so I

think I'm officially 40 because this has now been my Christmas sweater for multiple Christmases.

And I think that's actually one of the definitions of getting older.

I think is you have like an official Christmas sweater

that you're like oh haven't worn that since last Christmas. So it's nice to be 40.

So that's that's my story and I'm sticking to it.
