Hey guys, Christy Lewis here from Braveheart.

Hey, I'm so excited to share with y'all a word from Luke chapter 3 and Luke chapter 4.

In Luke chapter 3, Jesus is filled with the Holy Spirit and he receives the approval of his father.

And hears God say, this is my beloved son in whom I am well pleased.

And then moments after that, it says that he is led into the wilderness by the Holy Spirit to be tempted by the devil.

And so I just want to encourage you that there is fresh bread in the wilderness.

And there's also fresh encounter with the love of God. So let's dive in.

Thank you. I'm so glad I'm here. So good to be with you guys. Happy Mother's Day. What a wonderful day

to be speaking. I'm so thankful for my mom and for my mom's mom and my mom's mom's mom.

Hallelujah for generations, praise God.

I want to just pile on to what Larissa said.

Do you know that the angels of children look into the face of God?

It says in Matthew 18 that they surround the throne, the angels of children.

So, sign up for children's ministry.

Amen.

I'm so glad to be here.

I'm so excited, too, to end with communion because I was just so getting wrecked during

worship.

Man, the image of Jesus, the Lamb with a crown of thorns on his head and wounds in his hands and wounds in his

side that he decided to keep for all eternity to tell you forever that I love you and I see no flaw

in you. To tell you that forever. To prove it to you because in his resurrected body he said, you know what, Father, I actually want to keep you that forever, to prove it to you, because in his resurrected body, he said,

you know what, Father, I actually want to keep the holes, and I want to keep the wounds here,
