Hi Pastor John,
I LOVED the meeting today! There were so many highlights, so many good things, I had to go back and watch it again! I loved how you brought out the connection between Christianity and Babylon. We were in captivity, but Jesus set us free! Yes!
This was so encouraging to me: When Christ ascended on high he led captivity captive! He led everything captive that will bind you! Everything captive that will bind us! Just think about that! Everything! That just makes you want to shout!
I also love how you explained Luke 14:26. “If any man comes to me and does not hate his father and mother, and his wife and children, and his brothers and sisters, and even his own life, he cannot be my disciple.” It’s not a hate like this world thinks, it’s a love for Christ. Loving Christ first. It just feels so right.
I am so grateful for the mercy that Jesus has had on us. To hear and love this truth is such a precious gift. Just thinking about his mercy brings tears to my eyes. It didn’t have to be this way – but God!
