Yeah, yeah, yeah.

0:01.4

Hey, how many of you were overachievers in school?

0:04.3

Show of hands.

0:05.6

Only overachievers would do this, right? You know, overachering. Okay, if you're an overachiever or if you're not an overachiever, this is gonna be super easy. Not only we're gonna be in Philippians, too, we're also gonna be in Genesis two today. Super easy to find literally like page one, maybe two, in your Bible, okay?

0:19.7

While you're getting to those two places,

0:21.7

let me update everybody on a couple things

0:23.6

regarding those Bibles. literally like page one, maybe two in your Bible. While you're getting to those two places,

0:21.7

let me update everybody on a couple things regarding those Bibles, those blue Bibles that we have

0:25.9

across all of our campuses in the lobbies, because since we first introduced those, we've had

0:30.1

several thousand more people start showing up to Soutland, which is awesome. And what I want to let

0:35.0

you know is that those are there for the taking. Okay, if you do not have a Bible, that is definitely our gift to you. If and when you forget to bring your Bible, grab one of those Bibles, mark it up, highlight it, underline it, then just chuck it back in the pile for the next person at the next service or the next Sunday so they can use it as well. We want everybody to have an ESV Bible because that's what I

0:55.4

usually preach from. That's what I've studied from for over a decade. It's a word for word

0:59.6

translation. And so it literally puts us all on the same page. All right. So that's the deal

1:05.4

with the Bibles. Now, today I'm super pumped. I'm super excited because we are jumping into

1:10.3

an epic series. It's like a mega series. We're going to be in for the next 11 weeks where we're going to be journeying through what does it mean to be a man? What does it mean to be a woman? And what does it mean when a man and a woman get married? That's going to be the way we're going to break this thing up. And it's called toy stories. Now, here's what this was born out of. My older kids in particular, I got four kids.

1:30.5

The older ones specifically we're going to break this thing up, and it's called Toy Stories. Now, here's what this was born out of.

1:27.8

My older kids in particular, I got four kids. The older ones specifically have always said, they're like, hey, we grew up during the golden era of kids' movies. And I think they're right. I think they're right. They grew up. These things were just worn out in my home. Cars, how many of you can quote cars like I can, the first one, Shrek, Monster Zink, Finding Nemo. And the thing that was so great about all those movies was not only did they engage the hearts and minds of kids, but they also kept us entertained as well as adults, didn't it? Because they're really funny,

2:01.2

they're really clever. There's a bunch of adult humor in there and things like that that you only

2:04.4

get later on in life. But the movie that set it off, my belief is this, was Toy Story. Believe it or not,

2:12.4

Toy Story came out in 1995. It's been that long, and that was the original, I think, of those kinds of films

2:20.5

where, man, yeah, they captured the hearts of kids, but boy, they engaged the nostalgic appeal
