Hey church family, welcome back to Devo Time.

As we let you know, we're going to be connecting every night or day or whenever you want to watch it.

But on Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, you will be able to watch our services in their entirety. If you miss the actual service

times, which are listed on the website, then in the in-between times, you can watch the rebroadcast,

and then on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday nights at 8 o'clock, and then a bunch of other times,

we'll just be walking through the Word of God. And at the live times, you will be able to interact with some of our pastors and staff.

So if you need something, like a prayer request, just click the button, or if you have a comment, or you have a need.

If you would just let us know, we want to be here for you.

So one of the things I was thinking about is we have now entered this time in our

current reality where we are together a lot. Gretchen and I officially became homeschool parents.

It's mostly her, not me. And to all you homeschooled mamas, God bless your ministry, because I can

tell you this, I'm a child of God, but I am not a homeschool teacher., God bless your ministry, because I can tell you this.

I'm a child of God, but I am not a homeschool teacher.

I don't know if our kids are going to do very well.

Gretchen's doing a great job.

But what begins to happen when any parts come together, think about like an engine.

When an engine cranks up, there's a bunch of moving parts in the engine. And when parts move together, they create friction.

And where there is friction, there is heat.

And if you get too much heat and too much friction, then the whole engine will break down.

Now, I'm not just describing an engine.

For a lot of us, I'm describing our family in this season when all of us are not used to being together as much as we are.

Well, the good news is that Paul, inspired by the Spirit of God, knew that this is how relationships works.
