Mark: I really am excited to be with you this morning. ⁓ I'm excited to talk about loving Jesus and the plan that he has for us. Do you know that he has a plan for you? Yes. So if you got your Bibles, turn to the book of Deuteronomy. We'll get to that here in a minute. But in the previous few weeks, we've been, I mean, I guess kind of like a mini series, I'm not sure, but ⁓ Pastor Josh, about a month ago, talked about new creation and what happens inside of us at the time of salvation, that you were given a new nature. And Diego and Steve, Pastor Diego and Pastor Steve stayed in a similar vein. And then last week, Pastor Josh preached on the life empowered by the Spirit of God, that apart from the Holy Spirit, the Christian life is actually impossible. And one of the greatest platforms of ministry that you and I have is not ever on a stage, but it is at your table. And what I want you to know today right out of the gates, not, give you a little spoiler alert, is that what God wants for his church and his bride and these families gathered here this morning are so much better than anything that we can ever think of. That he actually has a design. and a plan for your life in a home ⁓ that is wired from the beginning to bring Him glory. And first notice, first and foremost, it is not about you or me. Husband's turned to your wife. I'm just kidding, don't do that. But it's not about you or me. It isn't, it is about bringing glory to the creator of heaven and on earth. And then secondly, When we follow what the word of God outlines for us today, I believe that like we experience what is truly best for us as individuals, for our families and for our communities, allowing everyone around us to flourish. And so today, we're gonna talk about hearing and doing what God has already outlined for us. And listen to this too, like it doesn't mean that you will be blessed and flourished in the traditional Western sense of the idea. That's not what... and flourishing necessarily means in Scripture. If that happens, kudos, that's great. ⁓ But a life with Jesus is the blessed life. A life raising your kids in a home that loves Jesus is the blessed life. And seeing our community come to know Jesus, that is what we're after, amen? Amen. And so today I wanna look at the word of God and see those plans of discipleship, not just for ourselves, but for our families as well. ⁓ Now, before we begin, before I step in, I've got two caveats this morning. I wanna make sure that there's people in the room that actually don't tune out in this moment, that listen. But I wanna lay a foundation here this morning that when we're, we're gonna be talking a lot about families, but singles in the room. Not very many at 8.30 service. ⁓ Stay free of the second hour of my people. Singles in the room, grandparents? All right. Empty nesters? Soon to be empty nesters? You're like after this summer, hey-oh. I'm gonna be talking a lot about families and I want there to be confusion on this because when we think of family, we often think of it in the Western idea of family. Mom, dad, kids. nuclear family. And when the Bible talks about family, it's a much more broader scope than that. It's often referred in or understood in an ancient Eastern ⁓ Mediterranean. Like it's all encompassing. So this morning when I used the word family, it's not excluding singles, middle of life singles, empty nesters, grandparents. It's like you're all included in this. All right, so don't think, I maybe talked to mom and dads this morning, but I gotta say, we need you. We truly do need you. Single parents need you, mom and dad need you. We need some help. We have babysitting signups in the back. ⁓ But like we need your perspective and we need your experience. I remember back in youth all the time, like there would be a young adult leader who would say something to like a student and it would rock their world. It would be like, wow, I've never heard that. And they come home and they tell their parents and their parents are like, I've been telling you that for your whole life. Like what on earth? And that's just how the body of Christ works. We see it operate that way all the time that like you as parents can say something and then the one moment that somebody cooler than you, I know, I'm sorry, like cooler than you says something. And they're like, I've never heard that before. It's amazing, it's astonishing. And then ⁓ one other thing too, I wanna bring attention to parents in the room. ⁓ My goal this morning is not to add on ⁓ or shame any of us, like here today. ⁓ Have any of you guys made a mistake in your parenting in the last week? I mean, I probably raised my voice to my kids just like two days, probably yesterday, right? Like, we all make mistakes, ⁓ but I don't want guilt and shame to enter in. and keep you from seeing and growing in the truth that Jesus has for us. So get rid of that and maybe allow the Holy Spirit to encourage and challenge ⁓ you and what you're doing and what you need to be doing. All right, sounds good. There's a lot of preliminaries. Deuteronomy six, fourth through nine. We've got a screen up here for you. Deuteronomy 6, 4 through 9, this is a powerful portion of scripture. It's also referred to the prayer of Shema in the Old Testament. Israelites have been praying this for many, many years, but it says this, hear, O Israel, am I, I'm in your way, hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one, you shall. I didn't even want you to do that, but that's fantastic. You shall love the Lord your God with all of your heart. There it is. And with all of your soul. And with all of your heart. So you shall love the Lord your God with all of your heart first. This is important, heart first, your soul and your mind. And these words that I command you today shall be on where? your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children and shall talk of them when you sit in your house and when you walk by the way and when you lie down and when you rise. You shall bind them as a sign on your hand and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes. You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates. I mean, that's like passage preaches itself. But what this ultimately does this morning is it ultimately lays out a plan for which was just God's idea for family discipleship. How to pass on and keep a hold of the covenant faithfulness of God and to disciple the next generation into the same thing. And so ultimately what I want you to see here this morning are three circles or layers of concentration for all of us here. If you're taking notes, prepare to write a little bit of a diagram here. ⁓ But you can keep up that Deuteronomy slide, but number one, the first circle, don't start drawing yet. First circle is yourself, your heart. Number two, circle number two is your home and your family. And circle number three is the community and the world. Now, one important note before we dive into this, I think there's a failing strategy that I would just like to expose here. When we're thinking of the three concentric circles and a smaller circle of your heart, second largest is your home, and then the third largest is the community. Listen, you are not able to work on the outer ring of community and then work your way into your heart. That is a failing strategy. Rather, the invitation right off the beginning is to focus on the center and establish that first and then simultaneously move outward in the second and in the third layer. The inner ring is the most important. It serves as the foundation for the rest of these instructions. Amen. So fascinating thing here is that this entire verse, here, O Israel. The Lord our God, the Lord is one. This serves as the foundational text that informs and instructs every other word that follows. It begins with the word Shema, Shema, ⁓ Israel. Now this is a powerful word in the Hebrew language and we don't have time to dive into all of it this morning, but it actually carries a unique call with it. It doesn't, when Moses was giving this, he doesn't say, okay, Shema, ⁓ Israel, like. Come around, listen up, like we're doing right here, hopefully. But Shema carries two meanings. It means to hear and then to do in the same word, to hear and then to do. And the Hebrew word used here, it wasn't two separate words for hearing and then doing. It was the same word, why? Because when God speaks, come on somebody, when God speaks, There should be no separation between us hearing and us doing. So Shema means to allow the words you are about to audibly hear, allow them to sink in, provide an understanding and generate a response that moves you to action. In the kingdom of God, hearing without obedience is not hearing. and hear and respond with your life that the Lord your God is one. He is not one among many and he is the actual one. He is first authority, he is first in affection and he is first priority. Why does this matter? Like, why does this matter so much? Because here's what I'll say, whatever sits on the throne of your heart will ultimately direct your life. Like, spend some time here. I like the way ⁓ Tim Keller said it this way, you cannot break commandments two through 10 without first breaking commandment one. It's not possible. Meaning before sin is ever in action, it is first an affection problem. Every sin starts with loving something more than God. And so when we go back to layer number one, you can throw up that first slide. When we go back to layer number one, love the Lord your God with all of your heart. We see that discipleship will always come back to the affection of your heart. Discipleship will always come back to the affection of your heart. So love the Lord your God with all of your heart and with all of your soul and with all of your mind. And I wanna point out here that, God doesn't say here, okay, now listen, you just heard the 10 commandments, now go and do them. And then also teach your kids to do the 10 commandments as well. I mean, that's good. I'm not saying he's not saying that, but like, that's not what he says here. He didn't say, hey, here, O Israel, the Lord your God, the Lord is one. Follow these lists of rules, submit and obey, and then teach the next generation to submit and obey as well. No, he said love. Love. This is Old Testament. Why? Because God knows your actions are not made up of what you know, but what you should do and what you should do and what you should not do. But rather, our actions are fueled by the affection of what we love. We all know what is right and wrong intellectually and yet, We still make mistakes! We all have a decent history of that, right? Listen, I know! intellectually that I need to work out anywhere from three to five days a week. Ish. Like I know the best time for me in my life is probably around 6 a.m. in the morning when my son and my wife are still in bed, go out and turn on the garage heater, warm up a little bit. Like I know that that's good. Like I know that that is good. And it's a good decision for my body. But here's the truth. I love sleep. Especially since my wife loves sleepwalking in the middle of the night and taking my covers and opening doors. Like, it's just this wild thing that's happening right now. Like, I have to throw that in there. Like, this is my justification for not working out as much. ⁓ Like, I know what I need to do. And I do it sometimes, but I'm telling you, when that pillow calls my name every morning, it is hard not to respond. So this is what I know, your life will always move in the direction of your strongest affection. We are people that are not primarily thinkers. We are people that are primarily lovers. And so it's what we love that drives and motivates us. And that's why the Shema doesn't start out with, know what's right and wrong, so just go out and just do it. but rather, hey, listen, my people, my people who are set apart, give me the affection of your heart and your actions and your motivations will follow. This is what I know. Discipleship is not merely teaching people to think correctly. It is teaching them how to love correctly. This is not an intellectual endeavor alone. So how do you cultivate a heart and grow in your love for God? I'm so glad you asked. It's right here in my notes. It's great. Number one, I'm just gonna give you three really quickly just because I wanna make sure it's practical too. It starts with seeing and receiving his love first. You are not able to drum up love on your own. But it is about seeing and receiving. We love, 1 John, we love because He first loved us. We do not manufacture love. You can only respond to the revelation of love being given and poured out from heaven on you. It is only possible for you to respond. And like, don't rush past this. Like, I know you're like, this is Bible 101, or this is like salvation, but I'm telling you, you may know it. do you know it? Has the 18 inch journey from your head to your heart been complete? Because without it, you will be walking in circles. I'm telling you, I've been there. Like I remember there's a place, was John one. There was about a month that in my time with the Lord, like I just couldn't, I couldn't get away from those first few verses. Love. He loves us. In the beginning was the word and the word was with God and the word was God like he was in the beginning with God. All things, everything that was made was made through him. And without him was not anything that was made. In him was life. And the life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness and the darkness has not overcome it. Like God. Jesus, you came down from heaven, put on the likeness of man and on flesh for us, for me. You did this for me. Like have you just sat in that truth until like maybe even like your heart is moved so much that you just begin to like start crying because you're feeling the love of the Lord. Number two, love is cultivated by attention and devotion. John 15 calls this abiding. Abide in my love. I'm sorry, abide in me and I in you. A branch cannot bear fruit by itself. Your love grows where your attention goes. Your love grows where your attention goes. So are you cultivating? Are you directing your attention, your time, your energy? Are you devoting that to Him? Number three, I believe that love is formed through obedience. When it comes with the Lord, like John 14 says, if you love me, you'll keep my commandments. There is something to the simplest act of obedience that deepens your love for God. I've experienced it and I know many people in the room have experienced this as well. When God speaks to you, obey quickly and your love and your affection will grow for him. Tell the truth, forgive quickly, confess to sins quickly. These small things, these daily actions will cultivate a heart that loves the Lord. And so without this first layer, like we are really pushing back against the design of family that God intended for all of us. And I think like oftentimes we don't think about like, when we think through family, we oftentimes don't think about the individual in a family. But I will tell you, your individual heart matters because it's made up of a collection of individual hearts. And when there's a collection of individual hearts that are burning for the Lord, what happens to that family? And I'll say, Mom and Dad, you can disciple a family in the right things morally, but without you first, you first, cultivating a heart that loves Jesus, the family system will fall apart. It will. And so often, I think that we've just bought into this value system that has been promoted in families today, that the idea of Mom and Dad should sacrifice everything. their well-being, their time, their marriage, their finances, and even their relationship with Lord, all for the sake of your kids. And I'll tell you, this is my opinion, I think that's a failing strategy. God's design was never for parents to build their entire lives around their children. God's design is for mom and dad to build their entire lives around him. to establish a way of life where their kids witness like they actually see mom and dad spending time in the word, praying, worshiping in the home, serving the church, loving people and walking with God, modeling those things above everything else. Because discipleship, Pastor Gary says it all the time, discipleship is more caught than it is taught. Husbands, love your wives. Like model this. Champion her, support her, sacrifice for her. Why? because your son will grow up modeling what he saw. And you wanna go even deeper than that, your daughter will grow up with a picture of what love looks or should look like because of what her father modeled. She won't settle for anything less than what her father did with her mom. Wives, I'm gonna move on. I'm just kidding. Honor, love, serve, walk with God. I mean, this isn't a sermon primarily on marriage, but like it is a sermon about discipleship, about forming a love and an affection for God. And whether we realize it or not, we are already modeling a way of life to our children. Right now, you have been doing it. So the first circle is growing in a loving relationship with Jesus. Individually within Moses too, I believe the second circle. Layer number two, teach them diligently. Number one is your heart, number two is your home. Deuteronomy says, in these words that I command you today shall be on your heart. You then. You then shall teach them diligently to your children and shall talk of them when you sit in your house and when you walk by the way and when you lie down and when you rise and you shall bind them as a sign on your hand and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes. Layer two, teach them diligently to your children. Now if this does something to you that it may be doing for many of us or maybe just me that you're like, great. When am I gonna have time to sit down and go over the basic commandments of the Lord and talk about my son about the Trinitarian theology of Jesus and mark out a path of sanctification for my five year old? Like right, is anybody else think that way? I think that way. I'm just trying to like survive over, is anybody else's schedules full? Hello, graduation season, right? But here, like listen, here's where the yoke of the Lord is light. Families, do not let this be burdensome for you, but let it be intentional. Don't let it weigh you down, but let it be purposeful. Let me show you how we can do this. And honestly, I've learned this by watching other families who I love and admire, and honestly, it takes some intentionalities. If you have the first layer good, this is what I'll say. If you have this first layer good, your heart, this second layer, your home will be an overflow of what's happening in layer one. If you do not have layer one done correctly, layer two becomes burdensome. It will. But my son right now, I think he's around there, he's not listening, it's okay. My son right now is ⁓ fascinated with stories. He like loves a good story from my wife and my life and my own life. And it's like all he wants to hear is like, mom, mom, tell me a story. Dad, dad, dad, tell me a story. And he's infatuated with like love. Right now. That's all I'll go into it right now. Second service, I'll go do more when he's not in here. like, he's like, dad, dad, tell me a story about a girl that you may have liked when you were my age. Well, son, I've only loved your mom. only ever had eyes for your mother. Lying to your kids is okay. But listen, I was talking to Lauren one day, I was talking to my wife, and we were just like discussing how like obsessed he is with stories. And the reality is, like, I believe we all are. Like we love, like, this is why, like you crazy people, I don't do this, you crazy people love like fiction books that are like this thick. You know, like, but that's why you go and see, like go to the movies, right? This is why you listen to like true crime podcasts. I don't know, like that's weird. My wife's a lovely therapist. You should go and see her. ⁓ But the truth is like, we all try to find ourselves in stories. We love them. Like, and my son is trying to find a way to kind of navigate his life right now by the stories of his mom and his dad. To see if the path that he is on currently is kind of, is it on the right path? it helps him make sense of what he's experiencing and help him make sense of what he is feeling. Like recently, I told him a story on when God provided for me when I was in college. Like for the, I've told this before, but if you're new, you may have not heard this. Like for the first six months, I needed to pay for school in order to attend, like everybody else, but I didn't have enough loan money. So I was like, I owed like $1,600 every single month. And there was no grace period in a Bible college. There's no grace period. I shouldn't have said that. It's not around anymore, RIP CBC, okay. But I needed to pay for it and if I didn't pay for it, on the due date, I was unenrolled the next day. No grace. But the problem is, is when I first moved to Springfield, Missouri, I had some money, but not enough for $1,600 a month every single month at 18 years old. And honestly, I had a really hard time finding a job. I applied everywhere. I ended up getting a job at a daycare. mean, whew. Talk about desperate. ⁓ But just kidding, if you work in the daycare, like in your call to that, that is amazing. I was not. It gave a paycheck, that was all. But I was telling my son this, well not what I just said, but I was telling my son this story. And I told him that for months I would come up short on cash at the due date. And every single month it would be a different amount. Every single month it would be a different amount. And I would go to my mailbox down in the bottom of CAF in Z's and I would put my key in the mailbox. And there would be an envelope with my name written on it, with nothing else, no postage, no return address, nothing else, with the exact amount of cash that I needed to attend that month. to the scent. I got, like, yes, thank you, Lord. But here's the thing, I got so suspicious of this. I wanted to prove that it wasn't the Lord in some way. I'm like, sounds terrible. Like I've confessed now, so we've worked through it. But I would go down to like registrations office. I'm like, who's putting envelopes in my... Like who's... I found the mailbox lady and I like interrogated her. Like, and I was just like, hey, who's been putting money in my mailbox? And she's like, I haven't put anything in your mailbox in months. And I'm telling you, months after months, this would happen. $700, $300, and 51 cents, like whatever it was needed, it was there. Until I got a job, and then I guess the funds ran out. But but here's the thing, this is why this is important, this is why I'm saying this. This story actually serves as a foundation now for my son's understanding of finances and tithing and how God will take care of him. And he's going to take that testimony. And then now he's going to have it as a core understanding for his own life, that God is for him. And so listen, story time is not a set apart time on our calendar where we all sit down around the table and we hold hands and we tell our best stories. Like I wish it was, right? But it's not. It's when we're on our way to do something or it's around a dinner time when we sit down. Or his favorite is when he should be going to bed at night. He has all of the great questions then. But like church, families, mom, dad, like we don't have to over complicate this because the Lord knows. He says when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down and when you rise, does anybody here wake up in the morning? Do you lie down at night? Do you drive in your car? If you do, you have time. But I think oftentimes we punt the ball of discipleship to iPads and iPhones and screens and any sort of distraction. And we take these moments for granted and where they're actually not. We don't have these moments anymore. We have replaced so much of these moments with busyness, schedules, screens, sports, noise, constant distractions, and we have sacrificed dinner around the table. Do you remember that? Like every night kind of thing? I'm not saying like if you don't do it at all, like start with one night. Conversation, testimony, and remembrance. Like I understand busyness and chaos, I do. And I- to be the sideline coach on my son's soccer team yelling. Like I love those moments. Like I love those moments. Brockwell knows what I'm talking about. But I also believe that we are losing sacred spaces of formation that we are not going to be getting back. Your kids do not need perfect parents. They need parents who genuinely love Jesus. Because if we do not intentionally form our families, culture will form them instead. It is waiting, it is knocking, and it is actually quite good at it. And I've said it before, or I've heard it said before. I love this quote. Do not be surprised when you send your kids into the world to get training from Caesar and they come back as Romans. Either you give them an anchor, you give them an anchor or culture will give them an identity. It's your choice. Why does this matter? Well, Judges chapter two, the Bible says something that should honestly like shake us. Joshua lived to about 110 years old and was buried. And then scripture says this, there arose another generation after them who did not know the Lord or the work that he had done for Israel. Did you hear that? Like this wasn't 10 generations later. This wasn't hundreds of years later. This was about three generations in total. You have generation one. They came out of Egypt. They came out of slavery for over 400 years. They're the ones that saw the plagues. They're the one that walked through the Red Sea. They ate manna on the ground that fell down from heaven every single day. They followed the fire by night and the cloud by day. Then you have the second generation. This is Joshua's generations. They're the one that entered into the promised land. They saw Jericho's walls come crumbling down. and they walked in the presence and the promises of God, and then the next generation, their kids, they did not know the Lord. What should stop us? It doesn't say that like they never heard of Him, or it doesn't say they didn't know the stories, and it doesn't say they didn't know the history. The word know here is deeper than information. It means that they did not know Him relationally. They did not love Him, they did not remain faithful to Him, and they did not keep the covenant with Him. They knew about Him. but they did not know him. And that means somewhere between Deuteronomy six, teach them diligently. The Lord is warning them, teach them diligently, please. In Judges chapter two, something broke, something broke. And I'll say it like this. The issue is not that they failed to transfer information. And they may have grew up around the things of God, but what they failed to do was be formed into the presence of God. And so this is why Deuteronomy 6 was written this way. The imagery Moses uses is deeply intentional. Bind them as a sign on your hand. This represents work and action, what you put your actual hands to. Teach your children. Let the covenant and the faithfulness of the Lord be put into action by your hands. Frontlets between your eyes, this represents your vision, your perspective and your worldview. We let God's truth be the filter for which we view everything. There is not one, if I read John one correctly, all things were made through him and without him was not anything made. So that means that there is not a one moment of all of society that we do not view the lens through the kingdom of God. Like our lens is not through the kingdom of God. Keep it as frontlets between your eyes. And I believe like when we begin to tend to, our own hearts before the Lord. And we faithfully disciple and form our families around the table. Something begins to happen. It is a byproduct of what is done in the life of an individual and in the home. And it starts to overflow beyond our homes. And it starts to move into our community. And it starts to move into our city. And so layer one, love the Lord with all of your heart. Layer two, teach your children diligently. Layer three, shape your community. Verse nine, you shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates. Hear me in this, we can never get this out of order. Church, mom, dad, when your hearts are stirred for Jesus personally and in your marriage, it doesn't stay there. It overflows into your home. He's now in your conversations. He is in your car rides, at bedtime moments, in the mornings, like you're sitting around the table talking about the faithfulness of God. Not because you wrote it down or you're just trying to force it, but because it's in you. And it just comes out. And what happens after that? your home begins to shine. In a world that is growing darker, you now become a light that points people to Jesus. I've heard it said before, like, the light that shines the farthest shines the brightest at home. Is this not what we are called to be? Light in a dark world. A beacon of hope, of truth and grace where people who are in dark moments can actually see Jesus through us and our homes and our children shining bright with the kindness of God. And then I believe then you have groups of families that form a greater family that then becomes so bright of a light in the community that draws the entire city. into the kindness of Jesus. And then as the cities transform, the state, like this isn't too big for God. And then when the state begins to be burning for Jesus, let's watch how our nation has turned to Him. know some of you may like hear this and feel like overwhelmed or maybe you're like having thoughts or feel, I just. Maybe you're just sitting here like in the moment and you're like, you're having thoughts like maybe you've messed up too much with this. Or like your kids are grown and they're old and they're like, can I just like, I want to, like that is a lie. That is a lie from the enemy. Like you didn't mess up too much. You made mistakes. Yeah, sure. Well, everyone does. That's why the grace of the Lord is there in your life and certainly in our parenting. You have not, you have not ruined anything. Today is a new day. God's not asking for perfection, but I do believe this morning as we walk out of these doors, I do believe he is inviting us into deeper formation. small, consistent faithfulness over time, a prayer here, a conversation there, a meal together, a story told, and then hearts begin to be formed. Families and homes begin to take shape. And then I believe after that generations are shaped. So this morning I encourage you, I encourage you like walk out with vision and encouragement for your life. you believe that your home can be holy ground? Mom, Dad, do you believe that your home can be a sacred, holy place? Your table can become an altar of formation. And I believe this generation does not just need, they don't just need better programs. I believe they need homes that are burning for Jesus. God wants to use your life. He wants to your home, your table, your voice to form people who actually know Him. Would you stand with me this morning? Jesus. Jesus. ⁓ Yeah, if you're a parent in the room or you come from a family, like would you just lift up your hands? Would you present them before the Lord? ⁓ let us sit up. Jesus, I pray for every single person here, Lord, captivate their hearts. Captivate their hearts. May their hearts burn for you, Jesus. with the affection of their heart be to know you and to love you, Jesus, more than anything else, beyond like what we do at work or beyond what we do with our friends or beyond our own sleep, like God, would you cause our hearts to burn for you? Jesus, I pray for our children, I pray for our families, I pray for the generations that are coming after us, Jesus. Let these generations never be said of them what is said in Judges 2, that they did not know the Lord. Captivate their heart, Holy Spirit, right now, would you grab their hearts. Yeah, Jesus, I pray against anything that wants to come against the home in Jesus' name. Any lies of the enemy, any demonic oppressions, anything that wants to come in, Jesus, we bind those things in the name of Jesus and we say to get out. This home is a holy place. This table is a holy ground. And our children are being formed into the image of Jesus. So not in this place. Jesus I pray that our city, our community, our state, our nation, Jesus I pray. that we would become what you have called us to become, a city on a hill. that we would not be salt that lost its taste, but we would shine brightly, Jesus, we would shine brightly. And that all would come to repentance because we know that is your desire, Jesus. In Jesus' name, in Jesus' name, amen. Thank you, Jesus. Well, I love you guys. Love you, church family. Wednesday is coming. Be here. It's gonna be a good time. Be there. But we'll see you on Wednesday. Love you all. Have a good Sunday.
