This is the greatest hour to follow Jesus.

Anytime somebody is born again, Jesus comes to live inside of them. This is First John,

talks about the inner anointing, that we need no man teach us. It's not saying, don't listen to

teachers, it's saying that there was a heresy in the earth that pointed away from the fact

that Jesus was fully man at the time and completely God.

And so what John was saying is, hey, you're born again. You should know when you hear something so stupid.

You don't need a teacher to tell you that Jesus is fully God and fully man. You gain this at salvation,

is all we will burn for. I do feel like the Lord's saying,

I want to see if you as a leader and if our leadership team and if the church as a family

we are not moving on. When the Lord comes in his glory like that, he's all that matters.

There's no sermon that trumps it. There's no initiative that trumps it. There's no outreach that

trumps it. Nothing trumps the manifest presence of Jesus. In fact,
