Hello, family, Tyler here. I wanted to take a moment to invite you to Bridgetown's

8th annual Holy Spirit Conference, January 23rd and 24th at Portland's Keller Auditorium.

The theme of this year's conference is going to be the healing after the healing. We'll be exploring

how the miraculous work of the Holy Spirit

is often just the first step to the deeper, slower, soul-level healing. Like the Man

Born Blind in John 9, each part of us God heals only exposes a deeper part of us awaiting

healing from the same God. And the deepest healing is often the slowest kind.

We're so excited to be joined by contributors like Ruth Haley Barton, Kurt Thompson, Ken Shigamatsu,

and Brooke Lichardwood.

Tickets are available now at Bridgetown.church slash Holy Spirit.

I hope you can join us.

As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Now remain in my love. If you keep my commands,

you will remain in my love just as I have kept my father's commands and remain in his love.

I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete. My command is this, love each other as I have loved you.

Greater love has no one than this

to lay down one's life for one's friends.

You are my friends if you do what I command.

I no longer call you servants

because a servant doesn't know his master's business. Instead, I have called

you friends for everything that I learned from my father I have made known to you. You did not choose

me, but I chose you and appointed you so that you might go and bear fruit, fruit that will last,

and so that whatever you ask in my name, the Father will give you.
