00:01 And we are back.
00:02 Shelley Quinn, Pastor Kenny Shelton,
00:04 closing thoughts.
00:05 Closing thought for me would be 1 Thessalonians 3:12-13.
00:07 And that is, love is what is going to unite us.
00:11 And 1 Thessalonians, Paul tells Thessalonians 3:12-13.
00:17 He says, "May the Lord calls you to increase
00:20 and abound in love,
00:21 so that He may perfect your heart,
00:24 establish your heart perfect in holiness."
00:28 It is love that separates us from sin.
00:30 And it's His love.
00:32 It's not a natural, working up some
00:35 goofy little affectionate kind of thing.
00:37 It is God pouring the essence
00:40 by the power of the Holy Spirit,
00:42 as the essence of His character dwells in us.
00:44 Amen.
00:46 Then we are able to love--
00:48 Holiness simply means to be separated from sins.
00:50 So, He establishes our hearts, perfect in holiness
00:54 as we abound in love to one another.
00:57 Amen. Pastor?
00:58 You know, I truly believe that in God's last day church
01:00 there will be--
01:02 We talk about unity in diversity.
01:04 Yes.
01:05 We have unity in diversity, that means
01:07 it doesn't take away from none of our personality.
01:10 You know, it's God and Christ, two separate, you know.
01:12 But doesn't take away one from the other.
01:13 So we may be, may be different
01:17 and some have different thoughts
01:18 and so on so forth.
01:20 But there will be perfect harmony
01:21 as we let the Holy Spirit come in.
01:23 And we're receipted to that Spirit
01:25 that was sweat Spirit that will change our heart,
01:27 change our mind,
01:28 strive for that unity which Christ prayed for
01:31 because it's gonna be done because Christ prayed for it.
01:34 Amen. Thank you. Yeah.
01:35 You know, back in the old days, they'll have those pictures
01:38 of a boyfriend and girlfriend drinking their malt
01:40 from the same glass, two straws, you know.
01:42 You know, they were together.
01:44 They're drawing their sassiness from the same source.
01:47 Whatever happened to us that we pulled our straws
01:49 out of the glass, you know.
01:50 Yeah, that's good.
01:52 In John 15,
01:53 Christ talks about the vine and the branches,
01:54 all drawing from the same Jesus.
01:56 And if we're all drawing from the same source,
01:58 we ought to be like the same source.
02:00 We ought to like each other and we ought to be like Christ.
02:02 Well, our time again has fast slipped into eternity.
02:04 Allow me in closing to wish you both grace and peace
02:07 through our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
02:08 We'll see you again soon.
02:10 Bye-bye. And God bless.
