The James is made up of 108 verses.

54 of them are imperatives.

An imperative is a command. The Jesus was not just his half-brother. He was his lord.

Yeah, if we have in bed I'm the guy that I used to be here, I used to carry up David's podium,

and I want to start by just telling you how the porch has changed since I've left.

It's gotten better in just about every way, man.

So humbled.

I'm so humbled to be with you.

And let me start with a confession before I even dive in to the

scripture like man I love when you guys yell and can be real honest I love when you yell

for me and there's I mean truly there's like something in my heart that is not good that loves that.

And the last thing that I want to do tonight

is distract you from Jesus.

And that's both completely wholeheartedly true,

and then there's like a part of it that's not true,

you know, because there's the part that wants you to love me,

and that's not just, love me and that's not just

preacher speak that's not just talk like honestly how was worshiping here as they

were leading and it's just you know there's a weirdness to be back and and all of that

I just I'm just like, oh God, I love this so much.

And I'm not sure that's good.

And I want it to be good, but I love it for you and I love the way you're moving and so pray for me
