Welcome to Deepen with Pastor Joby Martin.

The Church of 1122 is a movement for all people to discover and deepen a relationship with Jesus Christ.

And we're praying this message helps you deepen your relationship with him.

Now let's dive in.

Hey, church family, welcome back to the Deep and Devo.

Let's dive in.

We're going to be in John, chapter 14. That's what we covered last weekend. And it sets up our one another. Our one another

comes from Hebrews chapter 10 verse 24. It says this, spur one another on towards love and good

days. This is the end of 13. And he says, where I'm going, you can't

come yet. And he's talking about heaven. And then, you know, Peter's like, why can't we go?

And he says, hold on, hold on, hold on. Now we get to 14. He goes, let not your hearts be troubled.

Trust in God. Trust also in me. I'm going to prepare a place for you.

And when he's talking about, it's our place in heaven, in eternity face-to-face with God the

Father. I'm going to prepare a place for you. And if it weren't so, I wouldn't have told you
