I went to the campus in person last week, and was thoroughly shocked because of how great the service and decorations were. I was scared that it would be hard for me to follow back the online service because of how emersed I was in the experience especially because I am a long term follower, and enjoy being apart of the community there with my family. The amount of passages pastor Larry used in his message, was incredible It wasn't a huge chapter in the book of revelation, but it was an important one and he found great books and chapters to refer to during that small chapter to bring in lots of old testament, literally the first few books. It had so much meaning with what was being said, directing long term believers, at the storm they might face. Who knows what they have to be aware and afraid of as someone whose been part of this journey for as long as Larry has I just couldn't imagine the types of tribulations that God has put him through. One of my favorite songs is Praise you in the Storm. The journey that you took us on today was one that felt like it was directed at new believers, the beginning intro was so upbeat, and it had put a smile on my face the entire time. You said how if you were looking for a upbeat message that was going to tell you how amazing things are going to be in the future, then today is not that message, and so I see that as an example to new believers that you would need to be introduced to that style of biblical literature. Now I still have a hard time figuring out where some of the old testament connections are directly being made, but I do know that I felt like this message had such an impact on the way I read the bible today. I opened the book of Luke and read through about 8 chapters, one of them being the birth of Jesus and the birth of the other guy's son who became mute after he didn't believe the Angel's statement, once you learn about how the Angels are praising the almighty God over and over, FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU you do an incredible job of that btw, just the motions and the HOLY HOLY ALMIGHTY IS HE. HE THAT WAS AND THE HE THAT WILL COME. I love it. I freaking love it, and the first time you mentioned reading this section while you close your eyes, I was driving while listening to that message, so I wasn't going to close my eyes mid road drive, but I was able to go back and listen to it again, with that experience. Anyways after I read the bible today, it was much different than the first time, the earth felt much more distant in my head, it was way more powerful hearing what the single angel had to say about Jesus' birth. He describes him in great honor, and then here is a quote“This child is destined to cause the falling and rising of many in Israel, and to be a sign that will be spoken against, so that the thoughts of many hearts will be revealed. And a sword will pierce your own soul too.” In KJV it says while the Holy spirit was in work alongside Mary, it says that baby Jesus danced in joy which is a pretty awesome sight of just like an almighty God the one that held 7 stars in his hand PLANET sized stars the picture of Heaven in mind, just coming down to earth because he sees you, he sees me, he sees all of us as worthy people that the creator himself was ready to bring himself and show the entire world what it means to be a righteous human with good principles, "not coming forthe righteous, but to bring the sinner to correction " I love the bible bro. Ahhhhhh
