Hey, hey, welcome to the church home podcast with Judah Smith. My amazing husband. My name is Chelsea,

and he is about to give you an incredible message. And I know we are going to hear about Jesus and his love for you.

And if there's anything we can do as a church home community, we would love to serve you.

You can come to churchhome.org slash pastor chat, and we would love to have a conversation with you

and just meet you exactly where you are. Enjoy the message. Welcome back. I'm so glad that you are here,

and I pray that the month of February has been a meaningful month for you and your family, your community, your loved ones.

Here in the United States of America, I am thrilled to say that every February in this country

is Black History Month in the United States of America.

And though the history of the black community in this country is painful and challenging,

we have the opportunity every February in this month to recognize the extraordinary black leaders

and incredible people who have changed the course of history in the United States of America, amongst many

other. Black history is U.S. history. And I hope that you've had a chance to reflect on not only

the pain and the challenge of our black brothers and sisters in this country, perhaps around the

world, but maybe how it relates

to your story and your journey. I get the privilege of doing something I've never done before.

To end this month, Black History Month, I'm going to do the best I can to re-preach to you a message from 1954 and one of my

great heroes, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. I think what you'll discover as I recount to the best of my

ability, like obviously not like Dr. King at all, who could even for a moment be like Dr. King,

there is one and there is one only, Dr. King.

You may not know that as far as I know,

I have listened to every known recording of Dr. King

that is for public consumption.
