Hi friends, Larissa Miller here. This is a message on worship. I unpacked biblically what worship is,

especially as a new covenant follower of Jesus. There are keys in this message for longevity and thriving in God until we see him face to face. I hope you're blessed. Welcome. How many of you are

visiting from out of town? Raise your hand. Welcome. Welcome. Welcome. Welcome. i want to acknowledge there's a whole group of people in overflow you guys say hey we're all

one there's just some silly walls getting in between us, but we love you.

I want to honor you. I drove up here this morning at, I don't know, before nine.

And I saw a huge group of people standing in line, and kids with backpacks.

It's like a camp out.

And I want to honor you if you came and you stood in line.

I want to honor our staff who juggles so many moving parts in a very fun,

dynamic, growing family that we are. Amen? This is how family works. I want to honor you if you brought your children this morning

we i want to reiterate what beth said jesus said don't hinder them from coming to me and so

we realize that it can be kind of messy,

but if he's cool with it, I'm cool with it.

Amen.

You know, I got to think about that story

when they were children to him.

You know, they weren't lined up like perfect little children.

They were just children.

And he said, don't hinder them.

And his disciples were trying to keep it all ordered.

He said, nah, let them come. I want to bless them and we have something to learn from

them so if you have children keep putting them in environments like this i promise you it will pay off one day.
