So we're going to just answer this as a church today. It's really this. To bond or break, that is the question.

To bond or to break. So I want to encourage you right where you're at. Wherever you're at, listen to me today.

There are some relationships in your life. We're going to talk about in a moment that God is saying you need to bond with.

We talked last week that the bond is Jesus.

The bond, we are bonded to God and we are bonded to others.

It's almost like a belt.

The other day, I met up with a friend and my friend's so, he's so kind.

He's just the best guy in the whole world.

He's Mayo so well.

He's pastor in Alabama.

And he's like, hey, hey man i brought you a gift and

i'm like a gift like my god like i don't have a gift for you thank you for having a gift for me that's amazing

and uh i opened up this box like he was like he was there in the room when i opened it and i open up

the wrapping paper in the box i opened up and it was like it's the nicest belt I've

ever received and my buddy's like this thing's bad right here it's like alligator you know like skin

it's like it's like this is this is a belt from the south again my boy my guy's from Alabama

he's like this dude right here this is a bad mamma jamma this belt so I put on the belt I was like

man I feel like I want to tuck in my this belt so i put on the belt i was like man i feel i feel like i

want to tuck in my shirt let everybody know check on my belt i'm a belt guy might get my belt buckle

but the but the the belt the bond is first with god and then second with others

it's a belt that holds us in our relationship with jesus and then second with others. It's a belt that holds us in our relationship with Jesus.

And then we are belted.
