Hey, good morning everybody. Great to be with you. Hope you had a great weekend. James, good to see you this morning. You look like you’ve had your coffee. I have. I had like two cups already. What What do you have inside of that drink? I know a lot of people are wondering. I know. Well, it’s a it’s a glass cup.
That begs the question, but it’s coffee, people. That’s right. You know, it it it looks like it could be whiskey. It also looks like it could be um tobacco swell. Yeah. But but you’re too happy uh for it not to be coffee. I can tell that it’s coffee. Those things might make me happy.
Well, I don’t know about you, but I got up this morning and um sat down and went through my my devotional. Some of you are wondering what devotional I’ve been going through. And this is Ted uh Paul David Trips. Ted is his brother who wrote an amazing parenting book called Shephering a Child’s Heart. But Paul wrote this devotional called New Morning Mercies.
Uh a daily gospel devotional. And uh I got my pot of coffee turned on. I put some some awesome nutritious uh grass-fed ground beef in my cast iron skillet and threw a few eggs in there together with the yolks and some cheddar cheese. And I made this amazing hearty breakfast. And then I sat down with my Bible and with the devotional.
And I want to share with you what has really fired me up. So, uh, you know, some sometimes a hearty breakfast and a strong cup of coffee are are just not enough to get you through the day victorious against the things that are seeking to steal your joy and your strength and your hope and your faith. So, far more than a rush of caffeine, what you need is the gospel.
What I need is the good news of God’s grace, no matter our circumstances. And and that’s what I want to share with you this morning. Today, you will be preaching to yourself some kind of gospel. You will either be preaching to yourself the f false gospel of I can’t do this or the true gospel of I have all I need in Christ.
