00:00Alright, well, we've got two children today.
00:10Yes, why not? They made it to church.
00:15They're here. Alright.
00:17I want to ask both of you, and not because your moms are here, but do you love mommy?
00:25Yeah.
00:26Do you love your mom?
00:27Of course.
00:28Oh, that's a great answer. That's a great answer.
00:31How much do you love your mom?
00:33How much?
00:35A lot.
00:36A lot. How about you?
00:37A million.
00:38A million. Okay.
00:39Now, how do you show your mom that you love your mom a million or a lot?
00:46How do you show it?
00:48Obeying.
00:50Obeying, yes.
00:53Now, you already, that's the lesson already.
00:56Now, the lesson truly, though, is not just about our parents, our mothers, our fathers, grandparents, and everything like that.
01:03The most important lesson today is that Jesus said, and I want you to say this verse with me.
01:08Say, John 14, 15.
01:10John 14, 15.
01:12If you love me,
01:14If you love me,
01:15Obey my commandments.
01:17Obey my commandments.
01:19That is a very simple lesson, and yet it's so powerful, because if we say we love dad, we love mom, we love whoever, but we don't obey their commandments, do we really, really love that person?
01:34Yeah, I don't know, right? That's a good way of saying it.
01:36I don't know. Maybe we have reason to not believe.
01:39Okay, I don't really love that person as much.
01:42But Jesus said, if we truly love him, and we love God with all of our heart, soul, strength, and mind, we will obey.
01:51That's a simple lesson that I want to give you today.
01:54The Christian life is so easy, Aisha and Kenzie.
01:58If we love God, we will obey him, we will have faith in him, and trust that whatever he will give to us in return by obeying him is for our good and for his good.
02:11I want to recognize our sister, Carrie, who filled in a couple of Sundays ago, so I know that was short notice, but let's give Aditha Carrie a hand.
02:22Thank you, Aditha Carrie, I know you may not be able to join us.
02:24I believe somebody else was supposed to fill in today.
02:27We'll figure something out for the kids, or they can just stay here with us, right?
02:32But the point is that we want to make sure we thank Aditha Carrie for being one of our teachers in the rotation.
02:39And let's also thank our brother, Ray Jutino, for leading the Sunday School.
02:47Now let us pray, and we'll thank God and ask for his Holy Spirit to give us a desire to obey and to trust him.
02:55Close your eyes.
02:57Say, Heavenly Father, help me to trust and obey what you command and show my love for you because you first loved me.
03:15In Jesus' name, Amen.
