Hope you're having a great summer. Know that we're praying for you and we know God has awesome things in store.

So great having you with us. Enjoy the message today.

God bless you. It's great to be with you today and I hope you stay connected with us during the week through our daily podcast, our YouTube channel, social media, and you can come visit us in person.

We'd love to have you be a part of one of our services.

I like to start with something funny,

and I heard about this little girl.

She asked her mother how the human race got started.

She explained how God created Adam and Eve and they had

children, on and on, here we are today. A few weeks later she asked her father the same

question. He explained how many years ago there were monkeys and

little by little they became more like people and here we are. Confused she went

back to her mother and said, you said God created people.

Dad said we came from monkeys.

How can that be?

The mother said, oh, honey, that's easy.

I told you about my side of the family.

Dad told you about his.

All right, y'all. Say it like you mean it. This is my Bible. I am what it says I am. I have what it says I have. I can do what it says I can do. Today I will be taught the word of God. I boldly confess my mind is alert my heart is receptive I will never be the

same in' name. God bless you. I want to talk to you

today about the power to obey. Sometimes God asks us to do things that are hard, to forgive someone that doesn't deserve

it, to take the management position, but we're not qualified, to quit hanging around a friend that's pulling us down.

Deep down we know we're supposed to. We feel that nudging but we don't think we can.
