Hey, what's going on, everybody.

Thank you so much for joining us for this week's message from Zoe Church, LA.

We're excited to start a brand new series today called I Bet You Think This Message is About You.

Before we jump into this week's message, I want to encourage and thank every person that gives.

If you'd like to give, go to our website and you can give there, or go and text Zoe, Z-O-E to 77977, and thank you to every person that gives faithfully,

or if this is your first time we want to say a big thank you. Let's jump into this week's message

called The Ones that He favors. Go there, First Peter chapter 5, jump there in your Bible.

We are starting a brand new series today called I bet you think this message is for you.

I bet you think this message is for you.

And we're really going to be talking about, I want you to hear some of the

Genesis and the Spirit, the heart behind the book. Why are we talking about pride versus humility?

And I want to encourage you in your life to really study this in yourself.

A couple years ago, God started to deal with my ego, amigo.

He started to really talk to me about my agenda, my motives, my intentions.

And the first time God started to deal with my pride, I was like, I don't have pride.

Signs that you have pride is when you don't think you have pride.

And I wrote out of hope when I needed hope with Georgia.

I wrote it out of faith when I needed to learn faith to start this church.

I wrote out of people when I was dealing in managing people.

I wrote out of prayer when I wanted Zoe to

become a praying church. And now we're writing, and this message is about pride versus humility,

because I believe Zoe, God has called us to serve and not be served. He's called us to go low.
