0:00.0	To say I'm excited thrilled over the moon to be with you today would be an
0:04.6	understanding because I think God has some great things in store for us. We didn't show up today
0:09.3	just to say the same, did we? I mean we want to grow when it become all that God has called us to be.
0:14.9	We want to step fully into the plans and purposes he has for us. If you have your Bible,
0:20.6	I want you to open up with me to go to any verse you want to. No, just kidding, just kidding.
0:26.4	I'm going to go to the Gospel of Mark, the Gospel of Mark chapter 10, the Gospel of Mark chapter 10.
0:33.0	If you do not bring your Bible, we're going to put the words on the screen so you can follow along

1:52.7	is a Taylor Swift of his day, if you will. Everyone is around him. He's not singing songs like
