Once it's once a mask mandates gone.

There will be doing the dinner thing again just to logistic Lee, but how many of you ate before you came tonight?

How many of you are hungry right now and wishing?

You would have eaten before you came tonight?

Well, there's cheesecake is cheesecake after.

So in this year to grow, We are continuing our look through the book of Hebrews and it's a fascinating letter for learning, lots of different things.

Maybe even being challenged on some passages that we had always heard maybe out of context and we thought of him one way.

And as we're seeing it linked together with all the other passages, maybe it's making us think a little bit differently about what Hebrews is about.

This is our last message on this portion of it, where we talkin about grow up, where previously, the author of Hebrews is telling his audience.

Hey, you should be eating solid food by now, but you, I can barely give you milk.

And there, there's a whole series of encouragement.

I guess would be putting it positively to grow or so today.

We come to the end of that and the other day.

I was at the doctor's office with one of my kids and they were showing me one of those growth charts.

How many of you have seen those growth charts where they've got the, the little dots of where you're going in that processing.

Kind of what this means, based on, where you've been at these different points, that probably means that you'll end up with in this space up here, when you grow up a little bit encouraging cuz apparently they kind of go like this.

And so you might be shorter right now, but that doesn't mean that you're not going to grow.

End.

Maybe spiritually or emotionally are relationally.

You might find yourself feeling like, maybe.

My growth is a little stunted.

Is it really loud out there for you?

It feels loud to me.

I can't I can't I can't hear myself think with my own voice.

So vet, if you want to bring it down just a little bit, at least in the house here.

Thank you, but

Be equipping pastor and sound lady tonight.

She just jumping back.

They're very flexible and the drummer.

So, You can track your growth of kids, as they're going along.

You can make sure that they're getting the nutrition that they need so that they can grow.

You can pray for growth.

You can get make sure that everything around it is.

Conducive for growth but then you get to a certain point and you're just kind of hoping and praying for growth, you know, hoping this is this works out.

You're looking at the chart, you're going to think we're going to end up here.

Can I want to talk to you about?

Hopefully.

you don't like, When it comes to growth, we might feel stuck.

We might feel stunted.

We might look at somebody else and see them as maybe a giant spiritual Giant, and we might think I'm not like them.

I'm not there yet.

I'm I'm back.

I got held back a year.

I got held back a decade.

I just started following Jesus.

Seriously, two years ago.

I'm not where those other people are in your praying for and hoping for growth may be relational.

You're emotionally, you're feeling stuck.

I think I might be normal for us to hit different walls.

Kind of like that growth chart for kids, just kind of go up and then you kind of level out a little bit and then you go up again.

But if we look at how the dots are coming along, we can see that there's a trajectory that leads towards growth.

Right.

We're not shrinking back.

We're growing.

Do you know that when we are born, we all have growth potential in our DNA.

It's already been designed into us.

What, what we have the capacity to grow to, what an ideal height and weight would be for us.

It's in there.

It's built into us, but it's going to depend how we grow based on lots of different factors are diet or activity level sickness.

Like if you get sick at the wrong point of your development as a kid, you might not grow.

Parts of you might not grow in the you make to have a sickness like that, that you got when you were little and it affected your development.

Your environment can affect your development to can cause you to have different thicknesses.

That would affect your growth.

They say that there are a lot of different things that can hinder your growth for one of the ones that gets thrown around there.

And I'm not sure if it's true or not.

Is that coffee stunts?

Your growth have.

How many of you have heard that coffee stunts your growth?

And also one that is out there.

That is true.

This one I know is true is that malnutrition can affect your growth and if you don't get the right nutrients when you're a little kid growing up that's going to affect your growth whether it's in the womb or it's when you're a small child growing up and there was a period in my life where all we ate for a while was rice and beans, mostly and plantains.

It was a rough little patch there, and we kept drinking coffee.

Cuz it's Mexico.

And so you.

Yeah, we had coffee whenever we were out doing things and can you imagine what I would be like if I had grown up in the United States?

I mean, I thought about that, like maybe I had the potential to be in 6 ft 8, but it just you know, what do with beans and rice patch and then all that coffee.

I was drinking as a kid and it stunted my growth.

So here I stand only 6 ft 4. What Woulda happened?

Anyway, so hopefully we can grow up.

I want to take us to Hebrews chapter 6, verses 9 through 12.

And if you would with me like we like to do, if you're able to join me and standing, that would be great.

Hebrews chapter 6 9 through 12.

And you can use the Bible in front of you or your handy-dandy device.

I've been trying to figure out.

How to get this to send out a little thing?

We all you got to do is tap it and you open up the scripture in your app.

I don't know how to do that yet.
