Abraham and Lot | Against All Odds | Pastor Rob Koke | Shoreline Church | Message

[MUSIC] [MUSIC] >> Good morning everybody. So great to have you. Welcome to Shoreline, a huge shout out to all of you who are watching online from around the community. So even sometimes around the state, the nation, the world, we welcome you to our campuses here in Austin, Texas. And a huge shout out to everyone who's a part of Shoreline Behind Bars. There's about 20,000 inmates that will watch this service over the course of this week. So give them a great big hand clap, we love you guys so very much. [APPLAUSE] Great to have you with us. Let's all of us stand to our feet, we're going to do something that we do at the beginning of every single message. We're going to recite a collection of phrases that we call our Shoreline Creed. Those of you who are a part of Shoreline, you know this by heart by now. But if you're new to Shoreline, this is just our way of reconnecting with what Christianity is all about. At the end of the day, what separates Christianity from every other philosophy, every other religion in the world is the beauty of grace. God did for us what we could not do for ourselves, and we celebrate that with our creed. And so are you guys ready? Okay, we're going to say this together, here we go. I am loved by God, I cannot earn it, I cannot lose it. I am forgiven and made brand new. In Christ, I live with passion and purpose. I am empowered by the spirit to be the church in the world and to live this love revolution. Come on, let's give God praise for that. All right, you may be seated. I know this might seem like a strange thing, but in India, when they try to capture wild monkeys who are running through the village and wreaking havoc in their lives, they do something kind of simple. They attach to a tree or a pole, a jar or a vase, and they cut a small hole in it or

a wood box, and they put some wild rice in that box or in that vase. And here's what happens. The monkey will come up and they will reach their hand into that hole, will grab a hold of the wild rice, and then when they try to pull their hand out, they can't do it because their fist makes the hole too small for them to pull their hand out. And a hunter will just come up and casually grab that monkey, even if it's a matter of life or death, that monkey is going to hold on with a vise-like tight grip and the end is pretty simple. Now, you might think, "Oh, that's pretty stupid for a monkey to do something like that." But I have a feeling that even to our own demise at times, we hold on to things. We've got this tight grip and it diminishes and destroys our life. Now, of course, not everything that you have a tight grip to will destroy your life. Obviously, you want to have a tight grip on your relationship with God. You want to have a tight grip on your character, right? But most of the time, when you think about having a tight grip, it has a negative impact on your life. I think about my golf game. Almost every single errant shot that I've ever had came because I gripped the club too tight. Laura and I sitting on the couch watching the Longhorns play football. They won the game. They won the game. But sometimes Laura is sitting right next to me and I grab her hand and then it's the last play of the game and we're only up by 15 points and they throw a Hail Mary pass and our defensive back just flips it away right at the last minute and we win the game and then Laura turns over to me and whispers, "You can let go of my hand now." That tight grip, but most of the time, that tight grip, the reason why it negatively impacts our life is because it's focused in on some emotional things or perhaps, you know, some You can have a tight grip on your opinions and you never take the time to listen to other people and understand other people's thought process.

You can have a tight grip on your loved ones controlling their behavior. You can have a tight grip on difficult circumstances as you try to, you know, white knuckle your way out of challenging situations. You can even have, you know, a tight grip on your own life that you have a plan for your own life and you never consider God's purpose or God's plan because you're so tightly controlling what you want to do. The reason why a tight grip can be negative is because it often involves a stubbornness. You know, you're just like determined to do it your way. Sometimes it has tinges of selfishness associated with it but almost always it's about controlling your own outcomes. You've got a tight grip so you can try to control what's happening in your world. Today we're going to talk about the difference between having a tight grip and having an open hand, between being closed fisted and approaching life with a light touch. And we're going to use two people from the Old Testament, a story of their lives that are intertwined. We're going to use the story of Abraham and Lot and show the difference between living life with open handed generosity and living life with white knuckles and tight grips and how that can impact your life. But as we get started I want to tell you why Abraham who lives with this open-hearted generosity, why he lived that way. What did he know? What did he understand? The story begins in Genesis chapter 12. We'll just read starting in the first verse. And the Lord said to Abram, "Go from your country, your people, and your father's house to the land that I will show you and I will make you into a great nation and I will bless you and I will make your name great and whoever blesses you I will bless and whoever curses you I will curse and all the peoples on earth will be blessed through you." Do you know what's missing from that collection of verses? Not once will you see the word if.

It's missing. It's not like God was saying if you do this then I'll do that. If you go here then I'll go there. If you plant seed then I'll bless you. It's just saying I'm going to bless you upfront. There's no if there. This is a covenant relationship that God is establishing with Abraham and he's saying I'm going to bless you upfront and it's a prophetic foretelling of how God is going to deal with us. We are going to get the same blessing as Abraham got through Jesus. In fact that is exactly what Galatians chapter 3 and verse 14 says. He redeemed us in order that the blessing given to Abraham might come to the Gentiles through Jesus Christ. We get the blessing of Abraham this blessing that was upfront that he didn't do anything to earn or anything to deserve. God just declared Abraham I'm going to bless you. He had to start somewhere to clean up the mess that had taken place in the world. The human race was far away from God. He just chooses Abraham and says Abraham I'm going to bring you into the Promised Land. I'm going to bless you and all the families of the earth will be blessed through you and it tells us something about how God wants to deal with us. Christianity at the end of the day starts where every other religion and every other philosophy in life wants to end up. Every philosophy and every religion wants to end up with you being good, with you being holy, with you being righteous, but at the very beginning when you accept what Jesus did for you, he makes you righteous, he makes you holy, he forgives you and gives you a brand new identity and promises to live on and paradise to look forward to. and all of that comes up. It changed the way Abraham lived. Jesus kind of summed it up this way. When you understand grace, in Matthew chapter 10 and verse 18, you live this way, freely you've received, freely give.

And you see this play out in Abraham's life. He just lives with this freedom. He lives with open hands. He lives with a light touch because he knows that every good thing in his life is good beyond his earning, beyond his deserving. And so he lives with this sense of freedom. Lot on the other hand is very different. These two men represent the two different ways that people look at life, two different mindsets, two different attitudes, two different ways of living. Lot with white knuckle type grip, Abraham with open hands and light touch. It's the story of their lives. And we're going to read through this particular story, starting in chapter 13, verse 1 of Genesis. And you'll begin to see this kind of play out. We'll read the verses. I'll give a little bit of commentary. And then we'll spend some time talking about how the difference between open hands and tight fists. And we'll talk about the impact that that has on our lives. Genesis chapter 13, starting in the first verse. So Abraham went up from Egypt to Nege. I don't know how you pronounce that, but it literally means the place of a desert. And his wife and everything he had and Lot went with him. And Lot was his nephew. So Abraham took his wife, all of his possessions, servants, and took Lot. And Abraham had become very wealthy in livestock and in silver and gold. He had some serious coin. Abraham did. And the interesting word in the Hebrew, the word for wealthy, actually means heavy. So it's kind of a paradox that Abraham, even though he was heavy with wealth, never allowed his wealth to consume him. He still lived with a light touch, even though he was heavy. From the desert place, he went to a place until he came, he went from place to place until he came to Bethel to the place between Bethel and I, where his tent had been earlier, and where he had first built an altar. And there Abraham called upon the name of the Lord. And we find out here right at the beginning that Abraham is always building altars and always calling on the name of the Lord. In chapter 12, God tells Abraham to go to the promised land. And I'm sure that Abraham wondered, how will I know when I get there? And it was like God was saying, when you get there, you'll know that you're there. You'll know it when you arrive. You'll know it when you see it. You'll know it when your feet touch the dirt of this promised land. You'll just know it. Kind of like the other day, Lara was wanting to do some shopping for a dress. And I asked, well, what kind of dress do you want to do you want to buy? And she said, well, I'll know it when I see it. And she wanted me to come with her. And that's normally, you know, she does the shopping and I carry the bags. And so she was going from store to store, from place to place. And I said, have you seen it yet? She said, no. But I'll know it when I

see it three hours later. I'm exhausted, dehydrated, wondering if I'll ever see my family again. But it was kind of like that with Abraham. He was just walking from place to place. And then he gets to the promised land. And he knows that this is the place that God wants to give him. Now, Lara was also moving about with Abraham, also had flocks and herds and tents. And Lara had some coin, but not as much coin as Abraham. You could say that Abraham had Bitcoin and Lara had a little Bitcoin. But the land could not support them while they stayed together for their possessions were so And some quarreling arose between Abrams' herders and lots, and the Canaanites and parasites were also there living in the land at that time. In the Hebrew, that word quarreling conveys something not just a one-time quarrel, not just a one-time situation where some emotions got out of control. This was an ongoing kind of situation. There was this tension, this underlining tension between them. And from the text, Hebrew scholars will say that it was lots herdsmen that were the ones that were fostering this relational discontent. And so it was petty kind of envying and there was this kind of spirit of fault-finding and that kind of a thing that was constantly causing some friction. So Abraham says to Lot, let's not have any quarreling between you and me or between your herders and mine, for we are close relatives. And you kind of see the person that Abraham is. He's a peacemaker and he values reconciliation. It's not the whole land before you.

Let's part company. If you go to the left, I'm gonna go to the right. If you go to the right, I'm gonna go to the left. This is an unheard of thing that the patriarch of the family would be so accommodating. Abraham saying, listen, why are we fighting? If you go to the left, I'll go to the right. If you choose the right, I'm okay. I'll go to the left. He was living with this big-hearted generosity. Lot looked around and saw the whole plane of Jordan and that it was well-watered like the garden of the Lord, like the land of Egypt. So Lot chose for himself the whole plane of Jordan and set out towards the east. He took the whole plane and he went east. That'll be important in just a minute. The two men parted company. Abraham lived in the land of Canaan while Lot lived among the cities of the plain and pitched his tents near Sodom. He wasn't in the city limits of Sodom. He was in the suburbs. He was in the ETJ of Sodom. And the Bible continues to say this. Now, the people of Sodom were wicked and were sinning greatly against the Lord. Another translation says that they were exceedingly sinful. They were experts. They had an advanced degree in synology.

Think of Halloween on Sixth Street, mixed with Cancun on spring break and Mardi Gras in New Orleans. Just mix them all together and you get an idea of what's happening in Sodom. It's got some serious bad vibes. And the Lord said to Abraham after Lot had parted from him, look around from where you are, to the north, to the south, to the east and to the west. All the land that you see, I will give to you and your offspring. Lot looked around earlier. Now God is telling Abraham to look around and I will make your offspring. God says like the dust of the earth so that if anyone could count the dust, then your offspring could be counted. Go walk through the length and breadth of the land for I am giving it to you. I love how this plays out. Take a walk Abraham and every single step you take, I am going to bless you with this land. It didn't matter which land that Lot chose because God's hand was upon Abraham's life and wherever he walked was going to be blessed. When you got God on your side, no matter which direction you choose, it's gonna be the right one. It's going to be the blessed one. So Abraham went and lived near the great trees of Hebron

where he pitched his tent and then he built another altar to the Lord. If you were to sum up Abraham's life's priorities, you would sum it up this way. He lived with a light touch. Everything that I have received in my life, all the weight of my gold and silver, all of the flocks and herds that I have, all the blessings in my life are blessings that have come from your hand God. I don't deserve it, I didn't earn it. It just comes from you. Abraham was completely content to live his life. And my challenge to you here this morning as we're gathered together is to follow Abraham's example. And I want you to live your life with a light touch that comes from embracing the beauty of God's grace. Would you just turn to your neighbor right now and just tell them, come on, live with a light touch. Come on, just turn and tell them, live with a light touch. So when your touch is light, your hands can be full, but when your grip is tight, then your hands will be empty. And this story really does teach us some of the ways that living with a tight grip versus living with open hands can have a huge impact on our lives. Let's start with this. Let's start with this. It impacts our relationships. A light touch brings relational peace. A tight grip brings constant friction. Now just remember this idea that a tight grip

is usually the byproduct of trying to control outcomes, trying to get your own way, being stubborn and determined and perhaps selfish. And you can see this play out in the relationship that Abraham and Lot have with each other. The land cannot support both camps and the word quarreling is brought up, not an isolated incident, an ongoing petty, low grade tension over water and fence lines. And you get this idea that Lot is living his life with relational friction. He's got a tight grip. Everything has a territorial defensiveness to it. Everyone is viewed as a competitor. Every boundary is a battlefield and every relationship is in us versus them mentality. When you live with a tight-fisted control, it produces all kinds of friction. And you see that playing out in your own life. We're approaching the fall season. I think we just crossed the date that we are now officially fall. It's been summer for so long. Oh man, but aren't you glad? The weather forecast is saying Wednesday and Thursday of this week, a cold front is coming in. We're going to get 15 degrees cooler. It's going to be a high in the low 80s, perhaps upper 70s and we're going to get some rain. It's going to be awesome.

And we love fall, don't we? We love the changing colors of the leaves. We love Thanksgiving and all of that. Christmas, when you get to our stage, when I mean our stage, Laura and I, we have our children who have now given us five incredible grandchildren. And every single year, even though our kids are 37 and 32, every single year we celebrate Christmas on Christmas day at our house. But now things are going to change. They let us know that last Christmas is the last Christmas that we're going to have on Christmas day at our house because they want to start having Christmas with their own families on Christmas day. And that was a little bit of a wake-up call to us. If we were living our lives with tight-fisted kind of control and selfishness, we would have been pushing back immediately saying, "No, no, no, no, 37 years we've been having Christmas "at our house and we will continue to have Christmas "at our house if you want an inheritance." (congregation laughing) We could try to manipulate and control the circumstances because things are changing in a way that we might be uncomfortable with. Lots attitude and mindset was always viewed through the lens of what's best for us. But I love what Laura's response was.

She just said, and she is a real struggles with change and she likes things to be the same, but I loved how she responded. She said, "Do you want to get together?" "Oh yes, we want to get together." Just not on Christmas. And she said, "That's all that matters. "We'll find a time to get together You just had this open-handed kind of generosity of spirit. All we care is that we get together at some point in time. How many of us live with tight-fisted expectations that spoil our family gatherings? Or you're trying to get together with your own immediate family, but you have to eat at the restaurant you want to eat at, it has to be about you, or you're a control freak. Some of you are parenting young children and for sure, there needs to be a tighter grip on their behavior and instruction and all of that when they're young. But if you have that same tight-grypted mentality and your son or daughter is approaching their 30th birthday, then you got to look at the mirror and see if that's how you want to approach your life. Some of you are suffocating your children, you're tracking their iPhone, their car speed, their heart rate, what they eat. And that's not parenting, that's an FBI surveillance operation. At some point, you're going to have to open up your hands and trust God to watch over them. Tight fist, it's all about you. And you know what? Nobody wants to be around somebody who's white-knuckling their own agenda in every relational situation. No one wants to be around you, no one wants to be your friend, and nobody wants to work with you if that's your attitude and your mindset. And that's the attitude that Lot had.

But Abraham was so different. Genesis chapter 13 and verse 9, let me read this again. It's not the whole land before you, let's part company. If you go to the left, I'll go to the right, if you go to the right, I'll go to the left. What I love is that Abraham is so beautifully open-hearted and open-handed. And Abraham did what was unheard of in the day. He preferred the younger when it was always about the younger preferring the older. "Let's have peace," he says. "Let's put some distance between us, and you, Jews." If you're not happy with where things are happening right now, then go. Live your best life. And I give you first choice. Abraham is big-hearted and is generous. And I think it came from him understanding that everything good in his life he's received from God. He wasn't trying to control outcomes, he wasn't trying to control people, he wasn't trying to selfishly and stubbornly force his agenda into every situation. He just lived free, which leads us to the second thought. Not only does how you live with tight fists or open hands affect your relationships, it also affects your stress levels. The truth is, if you try to control every outcome, you will get stressed. That's honestly one of the reasons why watching a college football game with burn orange 18 to 22-year-olds is so hard. You think you can control the outcome, but I'm sitting in front of the TV and I'm yelling at the TV, catch the ball. And somehow in my misguided thinking, I believe that my words go through the television set somehow into the universe and impacts the game. And it doesn't. Lauren and I are driving and somebody's driving in front of me and they're going 25 miles below the speed limit, that is not a godly thing.

And you get stressed trying to control things. You can control inputs, but you cannot control outcomes. And here is a lot driven by tight-fisted determination and human calculation. His whole identity is wrapped up in what he has. And if that's your attitude in life, if your identity is wrapped up in your possessions, how much money you have, it will always cause you stress. A light touch brings inner freedom, a tight grip brings constant anxiety. And so you're worried about money. You want to gather as much as you possibly can, and you want to keep it. Money, money, money, money, money, money. I think I sang that better in the first service. And you're going to do everything you can to protect it, do everything you can to keep it, do everything you can to keep people from stealing it. Maybe you're one of those people that has an app on your phone and you can check where your investments are at every minute. You check it 47 times a day. And if it's down even .004 from where it was an hour ago, you turn to your wife and say, "I think we should probably not order guac on the Chipotle." You're just stressed out. The human heart was never meant to be satisfied with things, and it will always feel like something is missing if that's where your focus is. God created every single one of us with a heart-shaped void that only He can fill.

And if this story tells us anything, is God doesn't have any problem with you having things? He just has a problem with things having you. Abraham is wealthy. Abraham is rich. He's heavy with silver and gold, but he's living with this incredible generosity and light touch. God promised to bless him and he just simply trusted God. You go left, I'll go right. You go right, I'll go left. It doesn't matter because wherever I go, it's going to be blessed. Lot went for the land. Abraham went for God. Lot went for the dirt. Abraham went for the one who created the dirt. Put him first in his life, and he was blessed. And Jesus said, "Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added unto you." It impacts our capacity. A light touch will increase your capacity. A tight grip will tarnish your legacy. Lot's tight grip caused his whole world to collapse. He was living in the suburbs of Sodom, and then he moves inside the gates of the city with his tight grip. He starts losing his grip. He starts losing his grip on his resources, on his family, on his moral compass. When you hoard something, the very thing you hoard, you're going to lose. The very thing you're afraid of losing by your tight grip, you're going to end up chasing away. We stopped reading this story in Genesis chapter 13, but the story continues in chapter 14,

15, 16, 17, 18, and 19. And the storyline never really changes. Lot's world is getting smaller, Abraham's world is getting larger. Abraham's generous, open-handed posture produces something entirely different. He's building an ecosystem of loyalty and resources and strength, and he has the capacity to help others. Throughout those chapters that I just mentioned, Lot is always in trouble, and Abraham is always rescuing him. Lot is trapped in Abraham because he's faithful to God, has the ability to help set him free. When you live with a light touch, your world expands. I think about Shoreline, this building that we're in today. We want to be good stewards of this building. We meet together here every single week. We want to take care of it, but we also open this building to others. We want to have a light touch, and every time someone uses the building, sure, there's the carpet to clean, and there's things to fix. But we don't want to have this tight-gripped kind of mentality that And so the star of Texas is an organization that reaches out to first responders all throughout the state of Texas who have lost a loved one. And the governor comes and this whole place is filled with grieving families and we just help provide a space where they can begin the healing process. When someone is killed in the line of duty as a first responder, it's shoreline church that opens up the doors to help those families process their unimaginable loss. (audience applauding)

We have celebrate recovery that meets here on Thursday nights and Wednesday nights to help people who are caught in the throes of addiction to be set free. The other day I came to church, it was a Saturday morning and there was cars in the parking lot and I didn't even know we were having an event and I walked inside and this place was filled with prison ministry leaders from all across the state of Texas that were being trained and inspired to do their job more effectively. A light touch is how we wanna live. Lot chose for himself the whole plane of Jordan and set out to the east. Remember when I said the east was gonna be important? Lot chose the whole plane for himself. He saw that the land was good. He saw that the grass was green. He saw that there was waters and rivers in that land and he said, I'm taking the whole place for myself. It doesn't say he took part of it and gave Abraham the other part of it. Abraham, he just said, I don't care. You could take the green grass. You could take the rivers. It doesn't matter because where I go, I'm gonna be blessed. Just open-handed. But the attitude that Lot had leads to poverty.

Lot takes everything but ends up with nothing. Lot's tight grip ended in catastrophic loss. His family, his friends, his reputation and by Genesis chapter 19, he's fleeing for his life with only the clothes on his back. Abraham on the other hand, oh my gosh. He gives and it leads to everything. The Lord said to Abraham, I want you to look out. I want you to look to the north. I want you to look to the south. I want you to look to the west. And I want you to look to the east, the very land that Lot took. God said, I'm gonna give it to you. Abraham surrendered his preference and God gave it to him every, anyway. Lot claimed for himself and lost it all. The truth is you can't out give God. He just wants us to live with this lighthearted, joyful generosity. Last thought, it impacts our relationship with God. A light touch builds altars. A tight grip builds idols. When you read through the story of Lot, sometimes you can tell what's happening behind the scenes, not by what you read, but by what you don't read. There is never any record of Lot building an altar, not a single time does it say that Lot paused in this promised land and built an altar to God, not one single time.

Not one single time does it say that Lot cried out to the Lord. When you read about Lot, you see him complaining and arguing and motivated by envy. You see him scheming for the best land, pitching his tent as close to Sodom as he can. But when you look at Abraham, he's free, he's happy. He's blessed and he's living as a fully devoted follower of God. We see him building altars and crying out to the Lord and resolving conflict and doing good things for others. He lives with this open handed generosity that leads to blessing. As we close here today, I want you to just kind of hold out your hands like this and I want you to grip as tightly as you can, your hands. I just want you to grip your hands as tightly as possible. There are two things that are happening as you grip your hands. If you turn and look at your knuckles, they're getting white. And maybe you didn't realize this, but your blood pressure just increased by 10 points. Both of those things happen when you grabbed your fists. But the other most important thing is that when your fists are like this, tightly gripped, you can't receive anything. And you can't give anything either. And the truth is, if we're honest, this is the way we're born. Tight, gripped. We have five grandchildren.

Two of them came to us this year. Arlo and Bo. I got a picture of our two grandkids. They're amazing, incredible. Come on, aren't they cute? (audience applauding) They both, they both look like me. Arlo on the left, he's half black and half white. Bo on the right, he's half white and half white. Arlo is big and Bo is small. But even though there are a lot of differences, you know what, there's something that's very similar. If you look closely, they both have their fists clenched. 'Cause that's how we're born into the world. It looks like they're gonna have a fight. Their fists are clenched. You know what maturity is all about? It's unclinching your tight grip of control and stubbornness and selfishness and learning to live your life with open-handed generosity. (audience applauding) Open hands. Our full hands, closed hands, our empty hands. It's time for us to let go and let God. Amen, let's pray. Father, I thank you so much for our time together here today. Lord, I pray that you would inspire us to live the kind of life that Abraham did. Open-hearted generosity, and Father,

I just pray that you would bless, just bless our journey from this day forward that we would recognize that every good thing in our lives is good beyond our deserving and our earning. So freely we've received, freely give. Father, help us to freely give of our time, freely give of our talents, freely give of our treasure to know that no matter where we go, we are blessed upfront by you. And we thank you for it. If you would, please just remain in an attitude of prayer for just a moment longer. If you came to church here today and you're not where you need to be in your relationship with God, just say pastor, I'm not living right, I'm not doing right, I'm not where I ought to be with God. If you came to church this morning and you made a decision at one point in time to slip away, you made a decision at one point in time to receive the Lord, but you slipped away. I wanna give you the opportunity to rededicate your life to serving Him. Or maybe you came today and you've been living your life closed-fisted, stubborn, selfish, controlling, but it has led to nothing but disaster in your life. And today you wanna open your hands and receive all that God has for you.

If that's you, I want you to raise your hand, raise it high like you're not ashamed to be prayed for. God bless you, God bless you. Hands are going up all over. Oh my gosh, incredible response. All of you, with your hands raised, I wanna lead you in a very simple prayer. I want you to pray this prayer out loud after me. Would you do that? And everyone else is a reaffirmation of your faith in God. Let's join them as we pray together. Heavenly Father, come on, let's pray together. Heavenly Father, I thank you for sending Jesus. Jesus, I ask you to come into my heart. Forgive me of all my sins. I put my trust in you and I will live for you from this day forward. Buy your power for your glory in Jesus' name. Amen, amen. Would you give them all a great big hand clap? With nobody leaving earlier, moving around, would you just please stand to your feet? I'm just gonna ask our prayer partners to come forward. And if you made a decision to follow the Lord today, either to rededicate your life to Him or to meet Him for the first time, I want you to go to either my left or my right. There's some signs that are being held up, made brand new. We wanna give you some information, a book on how to be a fully devoted follower

and also give you a copy of a new believer's portion of scripture that'll be so helpful to you. and they'll get you that information. To the rest of you, I wanna close with this blessing again that comes from God, by grace to each and every one of us. May the Lord bless you and keep you. May the Lord make his face to shine upon you and be gracious to you. May the Lord turn his face to you and give you peace. God bless you, have a fantastic rest of your Sunday and we look forward to seeing you on Wednesday night. God bless. (upbeat music) (upbeat music) (upbeat music) (upbeat music)
