So, anybody else ever just sit and they're going to hope Louis just stay seated wherever

he is for another 10, 20, 30 minutes, I'm just really enjoying what's happening up there.

It's really awesome.

You know, so encouraging isn't just to talk about the church and there was such a great

swell, I think, in all of us last week, just kind of settling into this idea that Jesus

is committed to the church.

That's done.

That's over.

That's not up for question or discussion today.

And so it gives us a good starting point, doesn't it, because we're not really coming

in with a, you know, am I going to be for the church or not for the church or am I going

to stick with the church or am I going to bail on the church?

It's like, if I'm with Jesus, I'm with the church because he's the head of the body

which is his church.

And so there is no separation between Christ and the church.

I love that picture.

It was like an org chart where you can move people around.

It was like an anatomy where there's a head and a body and they're connected together.

They function together and because of that, we know that Christ is irreversibly and

irrevocably committed to the church.

And so that changes our thinking, that changes my thinking, that changes my, that tone of

my voice and it changes the approach that I have.
