Called Out - Table Flip

If you want to click, flip, get in your Bible, John chapter 2.

John 2 · chapter mention

We're going to be in the New Living Translation.

If you want to follow along, it might read a little bit different than what you're used to, but that's where we're going to get to in just a moment.

We're in this series called Out.

We're looking at some moments where, quite frankly, Jesus does some uncomfortable things and says some uncomfortable things as he's calling people out to a better standard that he wants for them.

And sometimes we just get this picture that Jesus is just always a nice guy.

And so we're going to look at some moments in scripture.

And one of those is the title of this sermon.

It is called the table flip.

Yeah, man.

I don't know about you, but like I love to see what floats around on social media because as certain topics biblically trend, I always get questions about those things because people see them and they pop up, and this person said this, and that person said this.

And so one of those things that always seems to trend up and down and generate questions is, man, I saw this video on tithing.

And this guy says, we're not under the old covenant anymore, and we don't have to tithe.

And so what do you think about giving in scripture and what does God really want?

And I love it because it generates questions.

I have people sometimes that because of things that trend in scripture, they just believe because I'm under grace, I can live however I want to live because I'm under grace and God save me.

And what do you think about that, Pastor?

And it's like, well, let's get a biblical approach to this whole thing.

And one of the trends recently that I've seen, I've heard people say, I've seen people re-share is man, Jesus flipped tables.

And everybody kind of likes that idea of Jesus flipping tables, right?

He's edgy, he's a little uncomfortable.

Maybe some of you guys like to see a Jesus flip tables because you're the kind of person that just wants to say or do some things that rub people a little bit.

If we're honest, maybe sometimes we do it because we're just looking for an excuse to be a Christian jerk.

I know we would never say that, but but, right?

I mean, if people like that say, man, I'm just, I gotta speak the truth.

Well, the truth in love.

I mean, there's a balance to that side.

And so there's this table flipping moment.

It sparks controversy.

It might rub people, but the question would be if Jesus flipped tables, why would he do that?

I believe Jesus flipped tables to reset hearts.

Every now and then we need a heart reset.

You ever have a device that's not working like it's supposed to?

And if you've ever been around anybody that is IT at all, what's one of the first two things they ask you with that digital device?

Is you turn it on or off?

Is it plugged in?

It seems silly, but we've solved 90% of our IT problems with those two questions most of the time.

Because sometimes they just need a reset and they go back to working the way they were designed to.

I'm convinced in this story, Jesus didn't flip tables to spark controversy.

Jesus didn't flip tables to just rub people the wrong way.

I believe he was flipping tables because hearts needed to be reset.

And if we're honest, for most of us in the room, we would love to flip some tables with Jesus.

I don't know about you, but if he said, yo, Jason, make a whip and go flip some tables, I would be like, let's go.

And we like it until Jesus walks over and puts his hands on our table.

Whoa, well, hold on, Jesus, like, like, let's go flip somebody else's table.

He's like, nah, man, maybe, maybe I need to flip your table and some things that are in your life.

And so we're gonna take a look at what Jesus is doing here.

John chapter 2, starting in verse 13, says, It was nearly time for the Jewish Passover celebration.

John 2 · chapter mention

So Jesus went to Jerusalem.

In the temple area, he saw merchants selling cattle, sheep, and doves for sacrifices.

He also saw dealers at the table exchanging foreign money.

Jesus made a whip from some ropes and he chased them all out of the temple.

He drove out the sheep, the cattle, scattered the money changers' coins all over the floor and turned over the tables.

Then going to the people who sold doves.

I think that's kind of important that he said that for doves.

We'll come back to that in just a minute.

I promise.

He said, get these things out of here.

Stop turning my father's house into a marketplace.

Then his disciples remembered his prophecy from scripture.

Passion for God's house will consume me.

Now, I don't know about you.

If you haven't figured this out about men in the house, like men are visual people, right?

And so, like, I need I like to read stories in scripture, and then I like to think of a great visual that I can come up with for what Jesus was doing in this moment.

And this was one of the best visual representations I could come up with.

But here's the reality, man.

Jesus showed up and he did something that really was way more aggressive than most of us would be comfortable with.

And let's just acknowledge that.

Because he made a whip and drove out animals.

Now, if you've ever been around livestock at all or grown up around them, here's what I can promise you this wasn't one or two cows and a handful of sheep.

This was the temple where they were sacrificing.

So there's probably a pretty good shot there's hundreds, if not thousands, of these livestock around because all of Israel is coming in for this moment of worship.

And so if you've ever been around livestock, when they are being pushed in a direction, listen, you get out of the way or they will move you out of the way.

Like, like they don't stop for you.

Once they're herded and going, they're going.

And so Jesus has created quite the messy scenario because he's got the whip out.

He's driving these animals out.

This is one of those moments that's very uncomfortable.

Then he starts grabbing tables and flipping them over where all the money is at, and that money's flying everywhere.

This is like one of those things in the mall that you step into where they blow the dollar bills all around you and you try to grab as many as you can.

Like all the money they came to make, he's just flipped over and thrown everywhere.

It's not a nice Jesus.

And so why would Jesus do this?

Because he never promised to be nice, but he did promise to be good and righteous and holy.

And in this moment, what was supposed to be a moment of worship to the Lord, if you know what the Passover was, it represented the story when God set the Israelites free from slavery in Egypt.

And there was a moment that night that God told them to take a sacrificial animal and take the blood and paint the doorpost of their house, and the angel of death would pass over them so that they could survive.

And this moment was a moment meant to draw worship back to the Lord and remind God's people that you can't save yourself.

It's me who saves you.

It was a system of worship meant to teach people how to remember and worship the Lord.

And yet, somewhere along the way, the system became a system that served people instead of serving the Lord.

That it became about convenience, because if I had an animal sacrifice and I had to walk hundreds of miles, it was much more convenient to buy an animal there than drive that animal with me the hundred miles.

And then once they got there to buy those animals, it was a system of convenience that began to take advantage of people because I'm gonna upcharge you on what this cost to buy this animal because I'm giving you the convenience of doing it.

And so now we've created a system that people are monopolizing and capitalizing on for personal benefit instead of serving the Lord.

To the point that Jesus went to those who were selling doves.

That's significant, I think, because if you understand the Jewish worship system, those who would buy doves were those who were poor.

And I, if you haven't figured this out, Jesus has a soft spot for those that are struggling in this world.

In fact, his own family, scripture tells us when they when Jesus was a baby and they were going to the temple to worship, that they purchased doves to sacrifice.

Jesus grew up in a poor family, and now there's a sacrificial system that should have been serving God, but now it's taking advantage of the less fortunate.

In fact, the system, the money changers where Jesus flipped over those tables, most historians would say that that was taking place in the outer court.

And if you know what the outer court was there for, it was for those who were not Jewish people, the outsiders, so that they could come in and worship God too.

So not only were these people taking advantage of poor people, they were invading a space where those who were far from God could no longer come to worship God too, because they were capitalizing and making money off them.

And Jesus just turned their entire world upside down.

He flipped their tables, he cracked the whip, so to speak.

Because they had created a system to serve people instead of seeing worship as a moment to encounter and experience Jesus.

And as a pastor in today's world, I'm gonna be super honest with you.

Why would we preach such an uncomfortably real message and do a series like this?

Because my greatest fear as a pastor is that we're going to try to build churches that are built around people's convenience and comfort, and they'll never come in and experience Jesus.

I don't want that.

Because Jesus didn't want that.

Jesus was flipping over that table.

Jesus was pointing out that that system is a broken system.

I'm not here so people can come check a religious box and feel good about Jesus for another seven days till you come back and do it again.

That doesn't change hearts, that doesn't transform anybody, that doesn't leave you with the reality of what you need to navigate the world we live in.

You need a Jesus that you can come in here on a Sunday and experience and go home with you for the rest of your life and help you through Monday through Saturday till you come back again.

That we create a church.

One of the things we said from the get-go is we want to be a church that's leading generations to experience Jesus.

Because Jesus is not somebody to be talked about, he's somebody to be experienced.

And this is why Jesus would flip tables.

This is why Jesus would do something terribly uncomfortable in this moment, because it needed to be reset.

People were missing the point of what he was doing.

And if we don't catch this, then we're in trouble.

Here's the problem that Jesus was trying to help acknowledge.

When worship becomes about a system rather than Jesus, we're in danger.

When worship becomes about a system rather than Jesus, we're in danger.

Hear me.

I hear this in church all the time.

Man, I wish you would sing these songs because I like these songs.

Listen, we're not a jukebox, okay?

Like you don't get to pick the ones that we sing, and we don't sing them for you, we sing them for him.

I like it when Katie or Cody or somebody else leads worship, man.

They just, I really get them.

Like that's cool, but it's not about them, it's about Jesus.

There are moments where I'm not going to be here on a Sunday.

I'm going to take it off to have a healthy rhythm with my life and my families because I'm going for the long run here.

And here's what I can promise you I'm never going to tell you a Sunday when I'm not going to be here.

Because you don't come to church to hear me preach.

You come to experience Jesus.

It's not about me.

It's not about a style of church I like.

It's not about a way of doing things that I like.

It's about am I leading people to experience Jesus in this place?

That's it.

And so we will put all of our ducks in that row.

And we, any any space where I'm trying to set something else up on the table besides Jesus, we're going to let him come flip it over.

That is the invitation from Jesus.

That is the challenge that he's given to us because the problem is the thing that we worship sets the direction for our life.

And Jesus saw an irreverence for God.

Listen, there is a dangerous place when we can become comfortably irreverent with Jesus.

I hear people like Jesus is my homeboy.

I mean, he's your friend, but he's also your Lord and Savior.

Like there's an irreverence that comes with that idea that we have to be careful with.

And there's a worldliness, if we're not careful, that will invade the church and tell us how we should do church so that we can make a space that feels more comfortable for everybody.

And we will not follow the world's pattern for what God has called us to do.

We will follow Scripture's pattern and Jesus' example for what he has called us to do.

And we will trust the results to him.

You're like, that might be a great way to shrink a church.

Cool, then I just guess I'll pastor a small church.

Because I'm here to experience him.

We do this so you can experience him.

Not to check a box, not to do what we do, but to have an encounter with Jesus.

And sometimes tables need flipped and hearts need reset to do that.

John 2, verse 18.

John 2:18

But the Jewish leaders demanded, What are you doing?

If God gave you authority to do this, show us a miraculous sign to prove it.

I always giggle when somebody asks Jesus for a sign.

All right, Jesus replied, Destroy this temple, and in three days I'll raise it up.

What?

They exclaim, it has taken 46 years to build this temple, and you can rebuild it in three days.

And when Jesus said this temple, he meant his own body.

And after he was raised from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this and they believed both scriptures and what Jesus said.

Hey, can I tell you something?

True worship of Jesus makes people uncomfortable.

That's what Jesus just pointed out.

True worship of Jesus makes people uncomfortable.

Because there is part of the nature of who Jesus is that we have to wrestle with.

And I know a lot of people say Jesus is supposed to be nice.

And we've mentioned this a few times in this series because I think it's an idea in our culture that we have to push against.

Jesus never said in scripture that he would be nice.

There's no scripture that you will ever find that word connected to who God is.

And if I need God to be nice, then I can't understand why a God would do something like this.

But if he is good and if he is holy, and if he is gracious, then I have to understand that's the heart of a God who would turn tables over.

Because rather than be mad that he just exposed our sin, we should see the grace in the fact that Jesus just pointed out our sin and invited us to surrender it to him.

That in this moment, that's what Jesus was doing, and it's why it made people uncomfortable.

Their sin got exposed, and so the religious leaders didn't like it because their hypocrisy was on full view in front of everybody.

And so they attacked Jesus instead of repented, they justified their actions instead of submitting to what Jesus had to say, and then they had the audacity to ask Jesus for a sign.

Listen, asking Jesus for a sign is like asking me for a flashlight in this room that's already lit up.

Why does Jesus need to give a sign?

He's the Son of God.

He is the sign.

He had nothing to prove.

The only response Jesus was looking for wasn't a sign.

He was looking for a heart that would repent and follow him.

You want a sign from Jesus, he's already given you the sign.

He died on a cross and he rose again for you and I.

There's no greater sign.

Tell me anybody else that's ever done it before.

That is the sign.

The only invitation is for us to submit our life to him and follow him.

And so in this moment, if we're gonna be honest, the reality is, man, it's not much different in today's world.

People whose sin is attacked and exposed, they choose to attack instead of surrendering to what Jesus is doing.

Maybe it's done this way, that instead of having their sin exposed, they have to point somebody else's sin out too, so that you're looking at them and not just me.

In today's world, what often happens is people justify their actions rather than repent.

That's how we end up with this lie that floats around on social media that because I'm under grace, I can live however I want to because Jesus loved and saved me.

That's not true.

There's nothing biblical that supports that idea.

It's a lie from the enemy.

Yes, God has saved you.

No, there's nothing you can do to save yourself, but because he saved you, he's called you to surrender your life and go a different direction than you did before.

He didn't save you to justify your sin, he saved you to call you out of your sin and to create a life for you that you couldn't provide for yourself.

That in this moment, people will rather live offended because their sins got pointed out than submit to.

Maybe you know some people that are easily offended when they mess up.

They begin to hate those that expose their light.

They go into a cancel culture and try to eliminate people that begin to expose the things that they do.

And if you haven't figured out this by now, everybody thought Jesus just came to get everybody.

But here's what I will tell you Jesus also came to divide, He will divide light from dark, He will divide truth from lies.

And that's not nice.

And in fact, that's not even comfortable, but it is good, and it is God's grace.

I had somebody between services say, Man, I just I was thinking about the story of Jonah, like and the whale swallowed him.

Was that God's judgment or was that God's grace?

Yes.

His judgment is his grace to point out sin in our life that we need to surrender and follow him.

That is grace when somebody does that.

I don't always enjoy when somebody points out my sins, and yet I need somebody that will point out my sins, and I should learn to celebrate those moments because I know it's not good for me if I keep going down that path.

That is God's grace.

Feel conviction?

God's grace.

And that is what Jesus is doing in this moment.

He's direct, he's uncomfortable, he's flipping some tables over because hearts need reset, because he needs to divide truth from lies.

Because he needs to divide darkness from light.

Is it offensive?

Think about when you were in school and you hadn't got up when your parents told you to, and your room was nice and dark.

When I walked in, I walked in singing.

My kids will still sing this song to this day, and I would flip on the light.

And I'm gonna tell you, when the room's dark and somebody comes in singing and flips on the light, it's offensive.

Right?

They're like, ah, dad, stop, shut it off.

Sometimes when we're living in the dark and Jesus has to flip on the light, it's offensive.

But he does it because he loves us.

He loves us enough that he knows our heart needs a reset that he's willing to grab our table and flip it over.

And that's the grace of God.

That's the love of God, that's the mercy of God at work in our life.

And we have to embrace that.

And so the question becomes what tables would Jesus flip over in your life, in my life?

I think as we read through this story, I think one of the tables Jesus would flip over is the table of convenience.

Listen, Jesus does not exist to make your life more convenient and comfortable.

He just doesn't.

In fact, we were reading this week.

If you do the Bible reading plain with us, we're finally in the New Testament.

For those of you that have been coming along, it's like, praise God, we made it there, right?

And Jesus has this moment where he talks about the two roads.

The wide is the road and easy is the path, is what the New Living Translation says, that leads to destruction.

But the road that leads to life, he says it's a narrow road and it's a hard road that leads to eternal life.

I just want to suggest something to you.

Following Jesus should feel a little hard.

Not easy.

Because he said the road that goes to life is not an easy road.

In fact, he said it's a hard road.

So if following Jesus feels kind of hard, let me give somebody some hope today.

You're probably doing it right.

He he doesn't exist to make your life more convenient.

And so many times in church, that's what we try to do.

I'll just make it convenient for people to come when they can and when they can't.

I get it.

I'll just come around the next time and two or three.

But the reality is Jesus doesn't exist to fit inside your calendar.

Your calendar exists to serve Jesus.

You don't follow him when it's convenient, you follow him no matter what.

He is the priority of your life.

That is the table he's flipping over.

For some of us, we need Jesus to flip our calendars over.

Some of us, we need Jesus to flip our priorities over.

I think if he was gonna flip over tables, he'd flip over greed.

The reality is for some of us, we think we need more money.

We think we need bigger things, a bigger paycheck, another paycheck, so that we can buy more things.

But the one thing they got right, mo money is mo problems, man.

You can have all the money in the world and still end up in hell.

In fact, I can tell you some of the people that I know, the most wealthy people in the world, are some of the most miserable people in the world.

They can buy anything they want and then they still realize there's something missing in my life.

So you're like, I'd like to find out if that's true, man.

I mean, I promise it is.

Because there's no pot of gold at the end of that rainbow.

There's just a hole.

For most of us, if we'll be honest, we talk about not having enough and things are tight.

Really, it's because we have a way of life that we're trying to live and not that we're missing out on the necessities of life.

If we're just being honest.

And I have a way of life that I want to keep, and it costs me a little bit more.

But the necessities, I don't know about you.

I can't think of the last time I thought, man, I'm hungry and I don't have anything to eat.

I can't think of the last time I thought, man, I wish I had some clothes to put on.

I don't have any.

I can't think of the last time I thought, I wish I had a bed to crawl into, or a shower to take, or a home to go to, or a vehicle to drive.

My biggest problem is every now and then they die, and I gotta go out and jumpstart them or buy a new battery.

And it's like, oh God.

Because we let a love for stuff and money drive us.

And I think Jesus would flip that table over.

We're gonna be honest.

There's a worldliness that lives in our society that tries to tell us from everything how we're supposed to live for Jesus.

A world that tries to tell us what we're supposed to say about our faith and what we're not supposed to say about our faith.

A world that's full on political season, and I feel a sermon coming because election day is coming up this November.

You're welcome.

That wants to tell us that our faith shouldn't invade politics.

But the problem is in today's world, politics has invaded the faith world.

I'm not invading politics.

Politics has gotten into faith, and so we have to make statements of faith, even if they create political issues.

There is a worldliness that has crept in and tried to influence the church, but I don't live for the world's standards, I don't live for the world's approval, and because I don't need their approval, their rejection of me doesn't faze me.

Because I'm living for the approval of one, and his name is Jesus, and at the end of this life, when I stand face to face with him, it's gonna be no different than you standing face to face with him.

We will all stand face to face with him, and the only thing I want to hear him say is, Man Jason, well done, and you are a great servant.

Well done.

You are faithful with what I gave you to do.

That's it.

We can't let the world tell us how to worship Jesus, we let Jesus dictate that and we submit our life to him.

And so why would Jesus flip over tables?

Because our heart needs reset.

That's the reality in today's world.

That's the reality.

Our heart needs to be reset.

Things get in the way of us loving God with all of our heart.

If there's something that's getting in the way of you surrendering your entire life to Jesus, hear me.

He loves you enough to turn that table over because he wants your whole heart.

Because a heart that is divided will eventually not be faithful to Jesus.

Why do we talk about convenience?

Because I can promise you, at some point, following Jesus is going to be inconvenient.

I suspect, I'm not trying to be a doomsdayer.

I'm just telling you, in my lifetime, I think there's going to come a day in this country where it's going to cost you something to follow Jesus.

And to be quite honest, I kind of hope it happens.

Because it will sort out the fake from the real really fast.

And so why do I tell you this?

Because if you've got a faith based around conveniences, there's going to be a day when that's going to challenge your faith and it's going to be too easy to walk away from Jesus.

I think why would Jesus flip tables?

Because the reality is he's trying to remind you and me, we are not the center of this life.

I know what the world tells you, you are not the center of your world.

Jesus is meant to be.

And that's why he would flip a table over.

That's why he would do what he's doing.

Why would he point out greed?

Because it's so easy to let a love of stuff replace a love of God or a love for people.

Why would he replace worldliness?

Because it chokes out our spiritual life and it makes so many promises to bring pleasure and satisfaction and happiness and fulfillment and purpose, and it will leave you empty and hollowed out, and it will kill, still, and destroy you.

And that's not what Jesus wants for you.

It's not what he wants for me.

And so the reality is why would we have the moment like this?

Why would we have a message like this?

Because we need some tables turned over so our hearts can be reset.

Believe it or not, as your pastor, I have some tables in my life that God has to turn over sometimes.

Sometimes God will grab that the table of pride for me and rip it out of my hands and flip it over.

It's humbling.

It's not always fun.

But you know why he does that?

Because he loves me too much to let me keep that table in my life.

Sometimes God has to take the table of my money and flip it over sometimes because it's easy for me to want more stuff instead of want to be more generous with his kingdom.

And sometimes he has to take that from me and turn it over.

And I'm thankful that he's willing to do that.

Because there's a temptation even inside of me to recognize there's some tables in my life that I need to let God turn over.

Talked about the frustrations.

The reality is I've learned in life things that frustrate me usually are because I'm missing what God's trying to do.

And I've started to let frustration become a spiritual indicator to me that I'm missing something that God's trying to get through to me.

And I've learned to give him that table of frustration and let him turn it over so I can get the message a little faster.

And so the challenge, the reality in this moment, man, is what tables do we need to repent of and flip ourselves before Jesus has to come and do it for us.

You know, the much easier route is just you turn that table over.

It'd be so much easier on us.

You ever have that moment with your kids?

It's like, man, if you would just do these chores, life would be so much better and you'd have everything you want.

If you would just flip the table over yourself and say, Man, Jesus, it's yours.

Here's the beauty in this moment.

The grace that exists in this moment is this the hands that flip the table over are the same hands that were nailed to the cross.

Everybody wants to flip a table, but your savior didn't just flip a table, he died for you.

The Savior who wants to turn tables over is also the same one who's willing to sacrifice everything to save you and I.

Why would he walk into a religious system and turn it upside down?

Because there was salvation in their midst and they were missing it.

They were convinced that if I bought the right sacrifice, if I made the right effort, I could save myself.

And Jesus is reminding them in this moment as he's turning that whole system over and driving them out of the temple that no, there's actually a sacrifice coming that can replace all of this.

And it's not your effort, it's my effort.

It's my life on a cross, it's my life coming back up out of the grave that can save you.

And the grace of Jesus in that moment was to turn that entire system upside down and point everything to him to a better way.

The hands that flip those tables are the hands that were nailed to a cross.

You want a picture of love?

It's those hands that flip the table.

Because they were full of grace, because Jesus is grace.

He didn't show grace eventually, he was showing grace in that moment because he is grace.

And the invitation is to surrender it all to him.

That's the invitation.

To his love, to his grace through surrender.

That's why we preach these kind of messages.

It's why we ask what we do.

And we're going to build a church that brings people to experience Jesus by surrendering to him rather than building tables to get it my way.

We could bow heads all across this place.

Maybe there's somebody here today.

Maybe you've never surrendered your life to Jesus before.

Maybe you've never made that decision.

Then to me, I would just invite you, maybe today's the day.

The best time to surrender your life to Jesus was yesterday.

The next best time is right now.

And so if you're here in this place, maybe you've never surrendered your life, but you feel a tug in your heart that's just saying, Man, I need to surrender my life to Jesus and all that he wants for me.

If that's you, would you just slip your hand up real quick so I could pray with you?

Not here to embarrass anybody.

I just want to celebrate what he might be doing in your heart.

I see your hand.

Anybody else?

If you raised your hand, would you do this for me?

I know it's kind of a big deal, but would you come up here and let me pray with you?

I don't want to embarrass anybody.

I just want to celebrate what God's doing in your life, man.

That's all right.

Let's pray where we're at right now.

Because the reality is a heart that responds to Jesus is a heart he can use and save.

I want to invite you to pray with me.

Say, dear Jesus, I need you to come into my heart, to save me from my sins and make me brand new.

Help me to live for you.

Help me to love you for the rest of my days.

In Jesus' name, amen.

And if you prayed that prayer, again, there's nothing magical.

It's just a picture of us surrendering our life to Jesus and the new life He wants for us.

If that was you, man, just come up after service and tell me.

I just want to encourage you and help you continue to grow.

Can we stand all across this place?

We're going to get ready to have a moment of worship.

And here's the thought that I just want to challenge you with.

Man, is is there a space and place that you need to surrender something?

If there is, our prayer team is going to come down here.

And I would just encourage you this.

You can come into church carrying all of your baggage and you can walk back out carrying it just the same.

Or you can say, hey, today's the day I'm going to let go of some things and trust them to Jesus.

Maybe you got some tables you want to flip before Jesus has to.

And I would just encourage you to come down and let somebody pray with you.

Maybe you're just going through some stuff.

Maybe there's a family member who's sick and you want somebody to pray with you.

Maybe you're going through some financial battles, some marriage battles, some family battles, some personal, I don't know what they are.

I don't need to know.

We just want to walk with you and help pray with you so you can find the victory that Jesus wants for you.

So as we get ready to worship, if that's you and you need prayer for any reason at all, my encouragement, my invitation to you is come down.

Let somebody pray with you and let God work in your life as we worship together.

Let's do that.
