Really looking forward to jumping into this message.

And I'm going to go ahead right off the top

very transformational for all of us.

But I need to tell you where we're going right at the beginning

because you're going to have a lot of skepticism

as soon as I tell you where we're going.

And I'm going to need you to spend the entirety of the message

proving whether where we're going is true or not.

And you're going to prove whether it's true or not,

not because of what I say today,

but because of what the scripture says,

illuminated by the Spirit of God.

So here's where we're going to go today.

We're going to go, and we're going to come around this idea

but to produce something in us.

God sends, he sends storms into our lives,
