Every time we get together I get the privilege of telling the story of Jesus and you're

going to find out real quick I'm a Jesus guy I believe Jesus is God I believe he

became sin he knew no sin nor he had any sin but became sin so that I could become right with

God. I believe there's a holy perfect Creator who designed us for one primary reason that

has a relationship with Him, but because of our air are our wrong and our sin, because we're not

Pinocchio's, God doesn't pull our strings. He gave us a free will, and because of our exercising

of that free will to do things that are contrary to his character, There was a divide. There was a gap.

There was a separation between the created and the creator

and God put on skin and bone in the form of Jesus,

the fullness of the Godhead and bodily form,

and he bridged that gap once and for all

took all the punishment and judgment and pain upon his body so that by simply believing in

his free gift you can have a relationship with God forever and ever without end.

That's what I believe. I'm passionate about that.

You're going to hear that in my message.

That does not mean that's what you have to believe to belong here, be welcomed here,

celebrated here, loved here, be welcomed here, celebrated here, loved here and seen here. Can I get an

Amen?

And, but that is, that's kind of where we're going. We're doing a collection of sermons entitled

what's really important. What's really important? And here's the premise I'm going to

be working from. The band will join us in a few minutes when I'm done talking and

we'll sing some songs that we know to be true about Jesus. Thanks
