00:01Don't be shy. Don't be shy. You're the welcoming party. I saw you when you came in. You were saying
00:08hi to everybody and welcoming them, which is good. We miss you guys. How are you? You're good. How are
00:14you? Good. Okay.
00:16Okay. So today, you're probably wondering where Atikensi is. She says hi, by the way. She has a performance later,
00:24which is why, unfortunately, she couldn't join us. She hasn't been there early. We live kind of far. So anyway,
00:29she says hi. And do you want to say hi back to Atikensi? No? Everybody's just going to win. That's
00:37perfect, too.
00:37Okay. I'm going to have us illustrate our Bible verse before we go to the Bible verse itself. Let me
00:46create something that they can use. Let's try this. Okay? I'm going to put this. We're going to use this
00:54anyway later on. This here, Jacob, is this something that you think you should lean on? If you lean on
01:03it, what will happen? Like, if I'm leaning on it right now?
01:07It will fall, right? So this thing isn't strong enough for you to lean on it. Yes. How about this
01:15here? Look up here. Can you lean on this? Try to lean on it on the side.
01:20And lean. There you go. Put all your weight there. Ah, yeah. That's much stronger. Right? But it's moving. You're
01:29not wrong. That is correct. Very good observation by this young man.
01:33But I think I want you to see the importance of leaning on something that you can't trust and that
01:43you know you will fall if you lean on it.
01:47Peter, Carl, if you can put the verse up on the screen.
01:52Can we lean on an error? That's a great question as well. Can we lean on an error?
01:57No, not really. Because, you know, if you try this, no, you're going to fall eventually. Right? Oh, be careful.
02:04You can't do the Michael Jackson lean without any special effects. Okay.
02:09Now, but look at the verse because it's going to talk about do not lean, but...
02:14No, we'll read it. No, we'll read it. Okay. Go ahead.
02:16Trust in the Lord with all your heart and do not lean on something for your own understanding. Proverbs 3,
02:275.
02:27Very good. Give him a hand. Yes.
02:31Do you know what this means?
02:34Yeah.
02:35Yeah.
02:36Do not lean on something...
02:39On something.
02:40On your own...
02:41Understanding.
02:42On your own understanding.
02:43Here's a simple way to remember this, right?
02:46You wouldn't trust yourself to lean on this, right?
02:50Or to lean on error.
02:52But instead, it says, trust in the Lord with all your heart.
02:57When you trust in the Lord with all your heart, that means you can lean on the Lord with all
03:03of your heart.
03:03You can trust Him.
03:04You can lean on Him, but you'll lean on something even stronger than this podium or elector.
03:10Like Shasha?
03:12I don't want you to lean on Shasha.
03:14If you lean on Shasha too much, you might...
03:17You both may fall.
03:18But why, when I lean on Jesus, He will fall?
03:23That's a great question.
03:24A very good question.
03:25The most...
03:26The simplest way for me to put it is that Jesus is God and He's all-powerful.
03:31He's powerful?
03:32All-powerful.
03:34So, what powers can He have?
03:37Well, first off, you know that everything you see around here, Jesus created all things.
03:43That's one.
03:45Yeah?
03:45Even metal.
03:46Even metal, yes.
03:48Jesus created metal.
03:49Even the TV.
03:51Now, do this one last thing with me.
03:54Let's breathe in.
03:56And exhale.
03:58I'm done.
03:59You're not doing it?
04:00Okay.
04:00That's okay.
04:01But the point is, is if you breathe in the air that you breathe, Jesus made that as well.
04:08That's how all-powerful He is.
04:10And that's why we can trust in the Lord with all our heart and the other side.
04:15Do not lean on your own understanding, which means don't lean on your own self or your own abilities.
04:21Okay?
04:22Let's pray.
04:23Hold your hands.
04:24Bow your hands and close your eyes.
04:26And say, Heavenly Father.
04:27Heavenly Father.
04:30For sending your Son, Jesus Christ.
04:35On Jesus, I can lead.
04:38I can lead.
04:39I can trust.
04:40I can trust.
04:41And obey.
04:42And obey.
04:43Help me.
04:44By your Holy Spirit.
04:46By your Holy Spirit.
04:47I can obey you.
04:48And obey you.
04:49To love you.
04:50To love you.
04:51And love others.
04:52And love others.
04:53In Jesus' name.
04:54In your name.
04:55Amen.
04:56Amen.
