The Church Family, this particular series that we are in, this series is not a game-changer.

That's not the words that I believe appropriately describes what God is going to do with this

series. This series is not a game-changer, but rather it is a life-changer. This series has been

constructed and designed by the Holy Spirit to get us to see results. This is why for part one of

this planted series, for part one I was trying to tell us, okay, everybody who's saying that 2023

is going to be the year you win. Everybody who's right around saying God's going to do this this

How about be honest and say, I'm frustrated. I'm frustrated that I do not see the fruit
