Today's talk comes from Brad Jones.

Jesus in his own words, we're going to continue in the collection and James.

Jesus in his own words, we're going to continue in the collection, and today we're going to one of the most famous statements Jesus ever made.

Any guesses on that, on the verse, the chapter and verse.

Give you a hint from John.

Anybody?

Okay, Jay, John 146 6, but don't take the punchline immediately from me because you were also at the 930. Okay. Teachers, Pat, star student, I was hoping

somebody would say, but I still love you, Jay. I was hoping somebody would say John 316, which yes,

is a statement inspired by the Holy Spirit through the Apostle John, but it was actually not,

you know, the statement for God to love the world, gave us one and only son. It's not in red

letters, so it wasn't spoken by Jesus when he was on earth. But John 146, thank you, Jay,

is one of his most well-known statements, and we're going to look at that together. By way of

the iPad, people, I'm going to give it a shot. Watch out, Pastor Louis. I'm going for it. We're

going to find out if it's easier than we think or if it's as hard as he makes it look.

But please don't tell him I said that.

And actually, I should take this moment to officially apologize.

I'm going to look at the red light on this camera.

Apologize to the production team because at the 930, I blamed them for a slide that was missing.

And based on their conversation with me right after the gathering, they let me know it was my fault, not their fault.

I receive your feedback, your criticism, I apologize.
