Amen. Good morning. Welcome Welcome as well as we approach the holiday season. Think of any weird family traditions. Y’all might have my uh my family does some stuff, it just seems wrong. Um they, they do a family fun run, which feels like a five K. To me. And there’s all these nephews that are like adolescent teenage track guys who do cross country and they run a spirited seems like a three mile race after we do thanksgiving meal, which seems wrong. Doesn’t that seem wrong on many levels like that should be like a six a.m. Optional event, not at two o’clock required. Everyone line up, go by age group. Anyway, that’s that’s my family tradition. I don’t know what traditions you have of your friends and family, but this is the tis the season, the holiday season is approaching uh that is different. Not my deal thanksgiving. My ideal thanksgiving involves feasting, food, football, power nap boot and rally leftover turkey stuffing. If there’s any left over, you know, go to sleep for the night, that’s my ideal thanksgiving. But people are different families are different. Uh friends are different. Last week we thought we’d do a micro series as a church. Looking at Loving. Well as a church as a preemptively striking a reality that we’re all walking into as christians walking into our different families, it could be your in laws, your actual family. It is a different world we’re walking into last week dan looked at Loving. Well when, when you disagree with others, it was excellent. You can check out our podcast, youtube, our website today, We’re going to look at how to love. Well, people who are different from you. So last week we’re looking at, we’re looking at disagreement. This week. We’re looking at different people if there’s disagreement is our differences. But our next couple months there’s a lot more family interactions than there used to be uh for most of us and that might be a good thing. That might not be a great thing for some of us. There could be a lot of history attached to the holidays for many of us. And so you go home and then you’re sleeping in the room, You grew up in the sheets you had on your bed as a kid. I mean, I don’t know what your context is, but some of you going home, their siblings at home, maybe you know, siblings fall back into the old relational ruts, there’s family, there’s friends, it’s just you’re going back in time for some of you and you’re going back to a different or difficult season of life. So in light of that, the scripture is not silent. Let’s uh let’s bow our heads and pray and focus our thoughts and our hearts on God this morning. God, we confess we need you, we need to show up and make this time worthwhile. I pray to you just encourage us instruct us with your word this morning. Help us to be wise as serpents and innocent as doves and how we live in the day and the time we live, help us to understand this concept and apply this concept into our lives. Just make this a meaningful time. Looking at your word this morning where we can walk away if meaningful action steps we can take as people. We need you God, we need you to come through and make it work in our lives. Help us to love people well, we pay some jesus name. Amen. All right. So our main passage is first john 47 through nine. We’ve spent time look at this last week. It says beloved. Let us love one another. For love is from God and whoever loves has been born of God and knows God. Anyone who does not love does not know God because God is love in this, The love of God has made manifest among us that God sent his only son into the world so that we might live through him. The title of How to love Well, people who are different from you, our culture says you cannot love well, people that are different from you. You cannot engage, do not …
