Hey, church.

Well, baby dedication, like Pastor Chris said, is one of my favorite Sundays.

And I was looking at all those babies, and they all seem to be about 18 months old.

And I'm just wondering what happened about two years ago.

Why would all those parents

be together so much? Just wait, wait for it. There you go. So I want to show you this picture.

We have a son that goes to college down south that goes to Embry Riddle and Daytona and so I drive up and down

I-95 fairly often and have you seen this now listen this is not a sermon about government waste

or anything like that but there's like there's like a half mile on each side of I-95 down in

Palm Coast where there's this rest stop and there's there are over a half mile on each side of I-95 down in Palm Coast where there's this rest

stop and there's there are over a hundred of those don't park signs like I don't know what's

wrong why you all think you need to stop on the side of the road so much but when when I drove past

it the thought came to my mind that there's a bunch of people that when they think of Jesus, when they think of the church, when they think of Christianity, when they think of God or the Bible, what they think of is don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't. And what's so fascinating is that when Jesus came, and Jesus told us why he came,

he said this, he said it in John chapter 10, verse 10, I came that, here's his point,

here's his purpose, I came that you may have life and have it abundantly.

Now, absolutely, the Bible has times where it says don't do that.

But there's times where it says don't.

It's not trying to stop us from having life it's trying to free us up to

have life and have it more abundantly and that jesus came that we might have life and so the question

that we're asking in this five-week series that's really setting us up for the next two years called

the 10-10 life is are you chasing after the abundant life or are you chasing after the abundance

of things that will never fully and finally satisfy you? Because Jesus said that life is not found
