If you have a copy of the scriptures 1 Samuel chapter 3 today, as you're turning your way there,

I do want to mention to every single person watching or listening to this. How much I recommend

you go out and see The Chosen next weekend, which is on the 28th of March opening up in theaters

for episodes one and two of season five. It's called The Chosen Last

Supper. And I think it's pretty powerful to send a message that seeing Jesus on the

silver screen, on the big screen is powerful. And people around the country and world going

and showing up. What a way to bring a friend and expose them to Jesusesus taking them to movies getting some popcorn and then experiencing this uh clover and i had a chance to go to the

premiere they held and it it was it was very powerful so i want to add that to uh my encouragement to

you this easter season this lent season as we prepare for what God has for us in this

Easter year. Because we are Easter people, and Hallelujah is our song. Amen, somebody. Easter ain't

once a year. Easter is who we are. It's what God is doing inside of us. The title of this message

today is use it or lose it. Use it or lose it.

I heard Kelly Slater say that in an interview. He's a surfer and he talked about how he, after all

these years, is still surfing, is still able to do what he does at such a high level, even though

his body takes such a beating. He talks about, and what he talked about in response was joint mobility.

He talked about the priority of stretching, you know, which is funny because I have friends who

ride bulls professionally, they talk about the same exact thing. You'd think a bull rider, like this macho

wearing wranglers, bull rider, you know, would just be all about like lifting weights and all the things.

And I'm sure they do that too. But the bull riders, I know, go to yoga a lot because they need that

flexibility. They need that full range of motion. It's really true. The studies have shown that when you

lose joint mobility, you lose range of motion, you actually start to lose time off your life.

How much time? Twelve years is the figure on average. Where you lose range of motion, you actually start to lose time off your life. How much time? 12 years is the figure
