All right, ladies and gentlemen, so glad you're tuning in with us.

Like she said, last week was so amazing getting to be together and gather.

And gather in person. It was also such a tease. I know for me, I spoke too soon last week

in the announcements and I am just sick that we do not get to be together this week.

But I am trusting that God is good. He is faithful and I am just thankful that we still get to gather through technology

that we have the opportunity here to still meet together.

And so wherever you are, thank you for joining us tonight.

And I know that God still wants to speak to us, even to miss all the crazy.

And so if you're joining us for the first time, we are in a series called Seven Deadly Sins,

where we are identifying different sins that a lot of people have said, hey, these sins specifically,

although all sins are equal, these sins, if you let them have a stronghold or a huge grip in your life,

they can ruin you. They are deadly in their nature. And so you have to be on your guard against them.

And we have talked about things like anger and pride. We have talked about self-indulgence in terms of laziness and gluttony.

And tonight, we get to talk about the deadly sin of greed.

And I know for me, by the way, if we haven't met, I am JD. And I know for me, one thing that is true of JD is,

I don't have a lot of stuff. I am just at that stage of life where I am 26.

And I just don't have my own house. I've moved a lot in my young 20s.

And I for sure don't think that I have a lot of money compared to some.

And so when I first was given this topic, I was like, man, greed. I mean, I guess I can tap into something.

I guess I can hit something. But as I learn more and more about what greed looks like, I realize, wow,

I am such a greedy person by nature. And I think a lot of us will be agreeing with that by the end of tonight.

And so let's lean in together and see what God's word has to say about this sin of greed.
