WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.319 Welcome to the Awakening Church podcast. 00:00:02.560 --> 00:00:07.040 We pray this message encourages you and provides the hope and light of Jesus Christ. 00:00:07.200 --> 00:00:08.640 Thanks for tuning in. 00:00:19.760 --> 00:00:23.359 Isn't it good to be in the house of God this morning? 00:00:24.000 --> 00:00:24.640 Yeah. 00:00:26.000 --> 00:00:31.359 Just something about um getting to just worship together. 00:00:32.159 --> 00:00:35.039 That is powerful, isn't it? 00:00:36.399 --> 00:00:44.000 And you know, as we're having a worship communion Sunday, the aim of this is just to pause. 00:00:45.600 --> 00:00:55.920 Press pause on maybe all your summer activities and your summer trips, and those are fantastic, and work that you're trying to keep up with, or kids that are going crazy in your house. 00:00:56.079 --> 00:00:58.159 Um, and just pause. 00:00:59.280 --> 00:01:06.959 A moment, a moment to encounter the living God who loves us and pursues us. 00:01:07.760 --> 00:01:18.079 You know, my prayer this morning as I was praying for you was that uh God would refresh you, that he'd pour out his refreshing on your heart. 00:01:19.840 --> 00:01:25.040 That in this moment that we get to gather together, that you would be overwhelmed by his love. 00:01:26.239 --> 00:01:40.719 And you encounter him and experience him, and we would go out as refreshed people in a land of people who work tirelessly from thing to thing, that we would be the refreshing. 00:01:42.079 --> 00:01:47.120 And so to set up our communion time, I want to take you to a very familiar passage. 00:01:47.200 --> 00:01:48.640 It's John chapter 13. 00:01:48.719 --> 00:01:52.719 If you got your Bibles, if you wouldn't mind opening up there. 00:01:56.319 --> 00:02:02.000 And this is the Last Supper, if you will, although the disciples didn't really know it was the last one. 00:02:03.359 --> 00:02:07.599 Shocker would have been a little different, probably, if they did. 00:02:08.240 --> 00:02:11.199 In fact, the context is almost comical. 00:02:11.439 --> 00:02:18.000 This is Jesus' last dinner before he's gonna be crucified the next day. 00:02:18.240 --> 00:02:23.680 And do you know what the disciples are doing heading into this final dinner? 00:02:24.000 --> 00:02:25.439 Anyone remember? 00:02:26.000 --> 00:02:27.199 Yeah, they're arguing. 00:02:27.280 --> 00:02:28.400 Good job. 00:02:29.120 --> 00:02:33.520 They've prepared for this meal and they're in the middle of an argument. 00:02:33.680 --> 00:02:35.759 And I mean, just think about Jesus. 00:02:35.919 --> 00:02:37.120 He understands, he knows. 00:02:37.199 --> 00:02:43.840 Like, this is my final dinner with these 12 that have invested three years in. 00:02:44.639 --> 00:02:59.199 And and I I want to take this moment to instill what's most important, and I'm gonna entrust the ministry of reconciliation, like the message of salvation to these 12 and the others to radically change the entire world. 00:02:59.280 --> 00:03:07.840 And I've spent three years developing them and training them and raising them up, and right before this mill, like they ruin it. 00:03:08.400 --> 00:03:20.879 I mean, literally, have any of you had like a special moment, and then like you get in an argument with your spouse right before it and it ruins the moment, or your kids like get in a fight on the way to church and it ruined that moment? 00:03:21.199 --> 00:03:23.199 Like, that's what happens here. 00:03:24.240 --> 00:03:29.439 The disciples on the way get an argument about who's the greatest. 00:03:30.240 --> 00:03:33.280 I mean, just imagine Jesus listening in on this. 00:03:33.439 --> 00:03:34.960 Like, who's the greatest? 00:03:35.120 --> 00:03:35.919 Are you kidding me? 00:03:36.000 --> 00:03:38.800 Did you not hear anything that I've taught? 00:03:39.280 --> 00:03:48.319 Like, seek first his kingdom, the first will be last, and the last will be first, and love God with all your heart, love your neighbor as yourself. 00:03:48.400 --> 00:03:50.240 Like, I mean, did you not hear any of it? 00:03:50.319 --> 00:03:56.159 And the disciples still are arguing who's the greatest. 00:03:56.400 --> 00:04:05.280 And then this moment, and I just love how Jesus responds because it reminds us how God responds to us. 00:04:05.520 --> 00:04:11.120 You know, earlier in John, it says that Jesus is the explanation of the Father. 00:04:11.199 --> 00:04:16.000 Like when you see Jesus and how he responds, it's how he responds to you. 00:04:16.079 --> 00:04:17.680 That's how God responds to you. 00:04:17.839 --> 00:04:22.879 That's how God, when you kind of ruin it, responds to you. 00:04:23.600 --> 00:04:28.480 Would you pick it up with me in uh John chapter 13, verse 1? 00:04:28.800 --> 00:04:33.839 It was just before the Passover festival, Jesus knew, circle that word knew. 00:04:33.920 --> 00:04:35.519 There's a couple things Jesus knew. 00:04:35.680 --> 00:04:37.920 First, he's gonna know that his time is short. 00:04:38.079 --> 00:04:43.600 Jesus knew that the hour had come for him to leave this world and to go to the Father. 00:04:44.079 --> 00:04:50.319 He understands and recognizes this moment is precious, is fleeting, and I want to make the most of it. 00:04:50.480 --> 00:04:54.720 Having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end. 00:04:54.800 --> 00:04:56.959 And that word end is the Greek word telios. 00:04:57.199 --> 00:04:59.680 It literally means fullness or completion. 00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:03.199 I like how another uh translation says it. 00:05:03.279 --> 00:05:07.920 Uh, if he now showed them the full extent of his love. 00:05:08.560 --> 00:05:10.160 Like, what a cool thought. 00:05:10.319 --> 00:05:10.959 Think about this. 00:05:11.199 --> 00:05:14.560 By the way, I think this is a pretty cool parenting move here as well. 00:05:15.920 --> 00:05:23.439 The uh the disciples just got in an argument, and Jesus' response is now to show them the full extent of this love. 00:05:24.079 --> 00:05:32.000 I don't know about you, but with my kids, if they're kind of getting in an argument or something, my first response is, let me show you the full extent of my love right now. 00:05:32.240 --> 00:05:33.920 That's not that's not my response. 00:05:34.079 --> 00:05:35.199 I wish it was. 00:05:35.439 --> 00:05:40.480 It's like, hey, let me put you in your place, let me tell you why you're wrong, let's just bring this down. 00:05:40.639 --> 00:05:46.480 And Jesus' response is, I'm gonna show you the full extent of my love. 00:05:46.879 --> 00:05:48.240 Let me ask you. 00:05:48.959 --> 00:05:51.680 You remember a moment when you felt most love? 00:05:53.439 --> 00:05:59.199 Like, can you highlight just like a moment where you just like a time where you felt fully loved? 00:05:59.759 --> 00:06:11.360 Maybe it was when someone was just listening to you, and they were just so attentive, and you just felt so seen and valued and heard. 00:06:12.079 --> 00:06:17.360 Maybe, you know, like like you know the five love languages, maybe yours is uh acts of service. 00:06:17.600 --> 00:06:22.240 And uh when your husband actually did the dishes, you're like, I feel so loved in this moment. 00:06:22.399 --> 00:06:24.959 I had no idea he even knew where the soap was. 00:06:25.120 --> 00:06:29.600 Um, you know, and or maybe maybe it's quality time. 00:06:30.160 --> 00:06:37.839 And that person, maybe it's your spouse, and maybe it's a friend, maybe it's even your kids, they just spent time with you, you felt so loved. 00:06:38.399 --> 00:06:42.079 Or words of affirmation, someone spoke into your life. 00:06:43.680 --> 00:06:47.439 When was the time when you felt fully loved? 00:06:48.560 --> 00:07:01.360 Right now, Jesus is gonna show to the disciples, and then later, yes, on the cross, he is going to reveal the full extent of his love for you and me. 00:07:01.680 --> 00:07:03.600 Notice what it goes on to say. 00:07:04.000 --> 00:07:12.000 The evening meal came and was in progress, and the devil had already prompted Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot, to betray Jesus. 00:07:12.160 --> 00:07:13.120 Now, listen to this. 00:07:13.279 --> 00:07:14.079 Jesus knew. 00:07:14.240 --> 00:07:20.000 He knew again, he knew one time is short, which is really important because we act like we have all the time in the world. 00:07:20.160 --> 00:07:25.519 And so we don't live with a sense of urgency about things of eternity. 00:07:25.680 --> 00:07:27.839 And secondly, Jesus knew what? 00:07:28.000 --> 00:07:34.560 That he had come, that the father had put all things under his power and that he'd come from God and was returning to God. 00:07:34.800 --> 00:07:38.399 Jesus knew his identity, he knew who he was. 00:07:38.560 --> 00:07:50.560 What's about to happen next is based on secure identity that he came from the Father, he has all authority, and he's returning to the Father. 00:07:51.360 --> 00:08:10.000 See, here's what's so beautiful and amazing about Jesus: the one who the disciples should be bringing their all of their service to, he flips the script and Jesus leveraged his power, his authority to serve. 00:08:11.120 --> 00:08:15.839 See, I think for many of us, we don't know who we are in Christ. 00:08:16.720 --> 00:08:18.560 We don't know our identity. 00:08:18.959 --> 00:08:23.360 And as a result, it doesn't make its way out into reality. 00:08:25.279 --> 00:08:29.279 Imagine if you really recognized, think about this. 00:08:29.600 --> 00:08:36.080 Like you fully embraced who you really are in Jesus, that right now in this moment, you're fully and completely loved. 00:08:36.480 --> 00:08:40.240 There's nothing that you can do that will ever change his love. 00:08:40.399 --> 00:08:44.559 He'll never love you more on a good day or less on a bad day. 00:08:45.519 --> 00:08:55.360 Like you're worthy because he said you're worthy, you're valuable, you're fully forgiven, redeemed. 00:08:55.679 --> 00:08:58.639 He has a purpose and a plan for your life. 00:08:58.799 --> 00:09:06.320 I mean, just imagine, because we walk around insecure all the time, hoping somebody like us, hoping we'll measure up, hoping we'll kind of figure it out. 00:09:06.559 --> 00:09:09.759 Jesus knew all authority had been given to him. 00:09:09.919 --> 00:09:12.240 He is from the Father and going to the Father. 00:09:12.399 --> 00:09:17.200 And so out of his identity, he then served. 00:09:18.639 --> 00:09:21.120 He then loved fully. 00:09:21.519 --> 00:09:29.679 Notice, so he got up from the mill, took off his outer clothing, and wrapped the town towel around his waist. 00:09:29.919 --> 00:09:37.679 After that, he poured water into a basin and began to wash his disciples' feet, drying them with the towel that was wrapped around him. 00:09:37.840 --> 00:09:39.360 I mean, think about this. 00:09:39.679 --> 00:09:44.960 Jesus, fully God, the disciples are sitting around a table, just mind-blowing. 00:09:45.039 --> 00:09:45.679 This is crazy. 00:09:45.840 --> 00:09:49.200 They're sitting around the table with God in flesh. 00:09:49.759 --> 00:09:51.840 And think about what happened. 00:09:52.159 --> 00:09:59.200 Like they walk into this upper room, and the disciples were, you know, charged with getting everything prepared, right? 00:09:59.519 --> 00:10:02.080 And they see that there's no servant. 00:10:02.159 --> 00:10:09.039 And by the way, the person who was the foot washer, that was the lowest level of service in their day. 00:10:09.279 --> 00:10:13.919 And they see a towel, and they see a bowl, water, and no servant. 00:10:14.000 --> 00:10:17.600 And maybe Peter walked in first, because that's the way Peter is. 00:10:18.399 --> 00:10:22.559 No towel, uh, towel, water, no servant, not my job. 00:10:22.720 --> 00:10:24.879 There's 11 other guys behind me. 00:10:25.039 --> 00:10:26.480 It's got to be one of their jobs. 00:10:26.639 --> 00:10:30.080 James and John, son to son, there's they're like, ain't my job either. 00:10:30.320 --> 00:10:32.159 Tau, bowl, no servant. 00:10:32.240 --> 00:10:40.639 They walk in one by one and see the empty space with the towel and the basin of water. 00:10:43.519 --> 00:10:44.960 And they sit down. 00:10:45.759 --> 00:10:48.720 Now we don't get this image and how nasty it is. 00:10:48.960 --> 00:10:59.120 Think about walking around in sandals all day long and who knows what, and then sitting down to eat and having somebody's feet next to your head. 00:10:59.840 --> 00:11:01.519 Yeah, it's nasty. 00:11:02.000 --> 00:11:07.200 And they would rather do that than be the one who got up to serve. 00:11:08.080 --> 00:11:09.039 Be the one. 00:11:09.440 --> 00:11:26.960 And Jesus gets up, takes off his robe, takes on the posture of a slave, wraps a towel around his waist, and he comes maybe to Andrew and washes his feet. 00:11:27.840 --> 00:11:30.720 And then maybe he goes to John next. 00:11:33.519 --> 00:11:35.120 And then he gets to Peter. 00:11:36.960 --> 00:11:40.159 And Peter says, No, no, no, not me. 00:11:41.679 --> 00:11:45.120 Because he recognizes I should have got up, I should have been the one. 00:11:45.279 --> 00:11:46.879 I I can't receive this. 00:11:47.039 --> 00:11:48.399 This is too much. 00:11:48.879 --> 00:11:52.240 The person I should be serving in this moment is serving me. 00:11:52.399 --> 00:11:53.519 I can't receive that. 00:11:53.600 --> 00:11:57.919 And I think that's where some of us are, is like his love is we just built up this. 00:11:58.000 --> 00:11:58.799 I don't deserve it. 00:11:58.879 --> 00:11:59.679 I shouldn't get it. 00:11:59.759 --> 00:12:01.279 I can't receive it. 00:12:02.720 --> 00:12:06.639 And Jesus says, unless you let me wash your feet, you have no part of me. 00:12:06.879 --> 00:12:08.559 And then Peter, he's just extreme. 00:12:08.720 --> 00:12:09.600 We've got to love him. 00:12:09.840 --> 00:12:13.039 He goes, Well, then wash my head and my hands as well. 00:12:13.440 --> 00:12:15.120 And she's like, Slow down. 00:12:15.200 --> 00:12:17.279 You had a bath, you don't need a bath. 00:12:19.759 --> 00:12:22.480 And then notice what the text goes on to say. 00:12:22.720 --> 00:12:28.720 When he had finished washing their feet, he put his clothes on and returned to his place. 00:12:28.799 --> 00:12:33.600 And then he says, This do you understand what I've done for you? 00:12:34.960 --> 00:12:40.879 And I think that's the question that Jesus wants to ask you. 00:12:41.840 --> 00:12:43.759 The question for us to sit with. 00:12:44.639 --> 00:12:46.799 Do you understand what he's done for you? 00:12:47.519 --> 00:12:51.919 Like, do you understand the depths of his great love? 00:12:53.120 --> 00:12:56.639 The majesty of all of eternity. 00:12:56.879 --> 00:13:01.360 Stoop down to take on humanity, becoming one of us. 00:13:02.799 --> 00:13:04.080 Do you understand? 00:13:05.519 --> 00:13:06.399 His love. 00:13:07.279 --> 00:13:13.759 Then he goes on and says, You call me teacher and lord, and rightly so, for that is what I am. 00:13:13.919 --> 00:13:19.759 Now that I am your Lord and teacher, have washed your feet, you also should wash one another's feet. 00:13:20.000 --> 00:13:23.840 I've set for you an example that you should do as I have done. 00:13:24.000 --> 00:13:30.159 Very truly I tell you, no servant is greater than a master, no messenger greater than the one who sent me. 00:13:30.399 --> 00:13:36.240 Now that you know these things, you'll be blessed if you what do them. 00:13:41.279 --> 00:13:42.960 Blessed, flourished. 00:13:44.159 --> 00:13:48.080 Like filled to the brim with joy. 00:13:49.600 --> 00:13:52.639 The disciples are arguing about who's the greatest, right? 00:13:53.840 --> 00:13:56.480 And Jesus says, you know what? 00:13:56.639 --> 00:13:58.960 The greatest of these is those who serve. 00:13:59.039 --> 00:14:06.879 And actually, we're all in a pursuit to find flourishing and looking for greatness or looking for success or looking for something else. 00:14:07.039 --> 00:14:16.559 And Jesus says, When you flip the script and you follow me, when you understand your identity and out of that begin to love and serve other people, you'll flourish. 00:14:18.240 --> 00:14:19.600 You'll flourish. 00:14:20.000 --> 00:14:24.000 Now, here's what I a couple thoughts that I think is absolutely amazing. 00:14:25.440 --> 00:14:32.879 Did you notice that Jesus did for the disciples what the disciples were unwilling to do for Jesus? 00:14:34.720 --> 00:14:36.240 Like each one walked in. 00:14:36.320 --> 00:14:39.519 I I understand, like, hey, I ain't gonna wash Thomas's feet. 00:14:39.600 --> 00:14:41.360 Those things are nasty, right? 00:14:41.679 --> 00:14:44.879 But at least Jesus, at least I'll do his feet and maybe mine. 00:14:47.200 --> 00:14:55.759 And Jesus shows them the full extent of his love, saying, I'll bend low, I will take on the nature, I'll come towards your dirty feet. 00:14:55.840 --> 00:14:59.600 There are no feet too dirty for me to bend low and lean in. 00:14:59.759 --> 00:15:02.960 Like you do not, you do not repulse me, you do not push me away. 00:15:03.120 --> 00:15:04.960 I don't know what you came in today with. 00:15:05.120 --> 00:15:06.639 I don't know how you're feeling. 00:15:06.720 --> 00:15:17.200 And I know for some, you're walking in in such a way of like, I don't even know why I showed up because of what I did last night or last week or what's going on or the habits that I've had in my life. 00:15:17.360 --> 00:15:27.519 And if there is a God, he couldn't love me, and Jesus says, No, I bend low, and I'm not repulsed by you, I come nearer. 00:15:28.000 --> 00:15:32.960 And your filth doesn't push me away, it draws me to you. 00:15:33.679 --> 00:15:38.559 In fact, I mean, think about this: Jesus even washed Judas' feet. 00:15:39.600 --> 00:15:45.039 He knew that Judas was going to betray him in just a few short hours later. 00:15:45.200 --> 00:15:51.919 And in that moment, he took on the nature of a servant and washed his betrayer's feet. 00:15:53.200 --> 00:15:58.159 Because there's no lengths that you can go, that his love will not still pursue you. 00:16:00.399 --> 00:16:01.279 Let me ask you. 00:16:04.639 --> 00:16:09.200 When was the last time or a time when you felt fully loved? 00:16:12.559 --> 00:16:33.039 You know, when my kids were little, I'd come home and um I'd open the door from work, and you know how they would respond, Dad! And not like yelling like they're mad at me, you know, but so excited, and they'd sprint and give me a hug. 00:16:33.279 --> 00:16:34.480 Here's what's pretty cool. 00:16:34.639 --> 00:16:39.360 They're 17, 15, and 12 now, and they still kind of do it. 00:16:40.080 --> 00:16:41.519 It's amazing. 00:16:41.840 --> 00:16:42.720 I love it. 00:16:42.960 --> 00:16:55.039 I feel so loved in that moment, and it's just this incredible time where I like open the door, I've been missing, and it's like, I missed you, I wanted you, I need, I want to be with you, and I just love you. 00:16:55.279 --> 00:16:59.200 And isn't there something amazing about a kid and how like kids respond? 00:16:59.360 --> 00:17:05.039 Like it's it's unrestrained, it's not trying to be proper, there's there's no filter, it's just like me. 00:17:05.200 --> 00:17:07.039 I'm like, I love you, you know? 00:17:07.200 --> 00:17:09.200 It's like, oh me, I love you. 00:17:10.000 --> 00:17:15.279 And my wife, a number of years ago, when they were little, got me this mug for Father's Day. 00:17:15.359 --> 00:17:16.960 Um, and it had pictures of them. 00:17:17.039 --> 00:17:19.279 They were like five, three, and one. 00:17:20.160 --> 00:17:29.039 And back then, I just like, oh, that's nice, you know, it's like the typical, it's either, you know, a tie for Father's Day or a mug, you know, and I got the mug. 00:17:29.279 --> 00:17:31.839 It did say world's best dad. 00:17:32.400 --> 00:17:34.960 So I'm sorry, other guys, you lost. 00:17:35.119 --> 00:17:35.920 I won. 00:17:36.160 --> 00:17:43.039 Um, but you know what that mug became for me over the years? 00:17:43.200 --> 00:17:44.160 I mean, I wore it out. 00:17:44.240 --> 00:17:49.680 I was gonna try to bring it, but I literally washed it so many times the images could totally faded from it over the years. 00:17:53.039 --> 00:17:59.599 It just constantly reminded me of the moment every time I'd come home and my kids would yell, Dad. 00:18:02.160 --> 00:18:14.000 See, we we stop and we pause to take communion, to remind ourselves of the full extent of his love for us. 00:18:15.519 --> 00:18:21.119 That you're fully loved, that he stoops low and comes near. 00:18:22.400 --> 00:18:27.839 And the elements, they're this incredible um symbol. 00:18:30.640 --> 00:18:34.559 Just like that mug was for me, that it just, I mean, I loved it in the mornings. 00:18:34.720 --> 00:18:41.680 I sit and just look at it and see the pictures of my kids, and it just fills my heart, reminding me of that moment. 00:18:43.359 --> 00:18:49.279 And we gather together to remind ourselves of that moment. 00:18:50.400 --> 00:19:09.359 The moment you gave your life to Jesus, the moment you first said yes, the moment when his grace actually finally clicked, the moment when you realize I don't have to try harder, I get to embrace his finished work. 00:19:10.960 --> 00:19:15.440 When you realize, wow, I've been overwhelmed with his love. 00:19:15.759 --> 00:19:26.960 And the elements, they just act as this constant reminder for us to take us back to that moment when we experience the full extent of his love for us. 00:19:28.880 --> 00:19:40.880 You know, Jesus around that table would later on and go and say this that this is my body, if I can open the broken for you. 00:19:41.119 --> 00:19:43.599 Like you want to know the full extent of my love. 00:19:43.759 --> 00:19:47.680 There's no length to which I would go for you to be with me. 00:19:48.400 --> 00:19:56.160 No matter how dirty your feet are, no matter how bad you feel, no matter what you've done, where you've been, there's no length to which I would go. 00:19:57.200 --> 00:20:00.960 Like I long for you to be with me for all eternity. 00:20:01.119 --> 00:20:05.200 I long to be in a relationship, I long for you to experience my love. 00:20:06.000 --> 00:20:09.599 This is my body broken for you. 00:20:09.839 --> 00:20:12.000 That you do this in remembrance of me. 00:20:12.160 --> 00:20:14.960 Then you take the cup and you say, This is the cup and the new covenant. 00:20:15.119 --> 00:20:16.640 And they knew what that meant. 00:20:16.960 --> 00:20:23.200 Talking about Ezekiel and Jeremiah, where they said that there's a new covenant. 00:20:24.319 --> 00:20:32.319 And the new covenant is no longer what you can do in earning your way to God, it's God working his way to you and what he's done. 00:20:32.400 --> 00:20:35.680 And it's on the finished work of the cross. 00:20:37.519 --> 00:20:40.559 And he says, Do this in remembrance of me. 00:20:40.720 --> 00:20:44.480 Remind yourself of my love for you. 00:20:44.640 --> 00:20:46.480 I like how Tim Keller says it. 00:20:46.640 --> 00:20:58.480 He says, the gospel is this we are more sinful and flawed in ourselves than we ever dared believe, yet at the same time, we're more loved and accepted than we ever dared hope. 00:21:00.000 --> 00:21:01.200 I mean, think about this. 00:21:01.359 --> 00:21:14.160 You do not have a God withholding from you with crossed arms, tapping his foot, holding out, saying, you know what, do better. 00:21:15.759 --> 00:21:20.240 Fix your life up, then maybe I'll love you. 00:21:21.920 --> 00:21:25.119 You have the God who stoops low. 00:21:25.599 --> 00:21:36.319 Right into the mess of your life, right into the places that you've hidden from other people, into the things that you haven't shared with another human because you're too ashamed of that. 00:21:36.400 --> 00:21:42.160 You think if anybody else knew them, they wouldn't they would never love you or talk to you or like you. 00:21:42.319 --> 00:21:46.319 And Jesus sees all of it and he stoops low to you and he says, I love you. 00:21:46.480 --> 00:21:48.240 Let me wash your feet. 00:21:48.640 --> 00:21:50.480 Let me wash your feet. 00:21:51.359 --> 00:22:01.920 Let me meet you in the places of your deep hurt and brokenness, of your sin and your shame. 00:22:03.680 --> 00:22:07.119 In just a moment, we're gonna take the elements together. 00:22:08.000 --> 00:22:10.960 And before we do, I want you to just take a moment. 00:22:12.960 --> 00:22:22.559 And the things that you brought in, maybe it's the dirty feet, the dirty thoughts, the habits, or whatever it is that you're going like, I've been carrying this around. 00:22:24.079 --> 00:22:25.440 Would you bring it to Jesus?
