We welcome you in and we are currently walking through the gospel of John and we are moving slowly.

As a matter of fact, I was talking to one of the brothers at lunch and I said, you know,

maybe I should have gone slower through some of the other books of the Bible that we've done in the

past, but then I came to the conclusion we would still be in Romans. So anyway, so we're good at

we're going to go through John at the pace that God tells us to go through it. And the reason

why we're going to the gospel of John is we've been doing this Winsley Bible study for about

four years now. And some of you are brand new, some of you have been here the entire four,

and some of you are somewhere in between. But at any, you know, a lot of times when you start,

you know, no matter where you are on your journey of faith, there comes a time you have to be

reminded on what you believe, why you believe it. And as we said, you know, the Apostle John is

saying, be whole Jesus who is God. And so we're walking through and I know it has been for me.

And we're being, we're almost being reintroduced to Jesus. And for some of you that maybe don't know

him that well, this is a good way for you to get to know him a little better. And then for folks that

maybe have been followers of Jesus for a long time and you start kind of taking that relationship

for granted, it's great to go back and be refreshed and reminded. And then there's those of us that

go through here and we've read this stuff a lot of times and then by the power of the Holy Spirit,

by the power of the Holy Spirit, you actually start gleaming something out of it. You never

gleam that of it before. And I'm certainly experiencing that. So I'm loving that. So let's open up

with a word of prayer. Let me do a little business here for those of you, but remember, you're always

invited. Any of you are invited. But to my home church, Shades Mountain Baptist Church, our next man

church, which is a service just for men led by men, and we'll be coming up on the last Sunday of

October. If you want to make a note of that, and we'll have Kevin Hound from Gardner's First
