Hey there. Thanks for listening to the Greg Lorry podcast, a ministry supported by Harvest Partners.

I'm Greg Lorry, encouraging you. If you want to find out more about Harvest Ministries and learn more about

And man, good afternoon. Happy Super Bowl Sunday. So let's see. Who's going for the Patriots? Make some noise. Patriots? All right. Handful. Seahawks. All right. Great. I see a guy in a Florida jersey back there. Who's at the Dolphins? You guys haven't won since like the 80s, right? That's sad. No. How about the commercials? Who's excited for the commercials?

Yeah, yeah. Half-time show, you know, whatever. Food? All right. I'm excited for that.

Fellowship, friendships. Those are always fun. Well, like Pastor Adam, I am a product of my environment.

I am so thankful for this church.

I'm thankful for the men and women who have poured into me over the years,

the wisdom that I have received through the different seasons of life.

And, you know, I used to really, not cringe, but I didn't love the compliment when people

would say to me, oh, you've grown so much as a teacher. Oh, you've gotten so much better.

And I always thought like, what? So I used to suck that bad. And now would I suck a little bit less?

Is that what you're telling me? But no, I do appreciate it. And the reality is,

I have been able to grow and exercise my gift and make mistakes and do things because I have been

planted in very fertile soil. Men and women who have prayed for me, men and women who have

encouraged me and exhorted me and challenged me

and given me resources and helped me along on my faith. And I am just so thankful, like Adam,

I am thankful for this church and for the blessing that you all are. So thank you very much for giving

me the, again, the opportunity to get to open up the word of God and teach from it today.

Let's open up in our Bibles to Luke chapter 6.

My message title is Lines in the Sand.
