All right, who's ready for Beach Baptist's Weekend?

Anybody ready?

Let's go, let's go, let's go.

Well, we're not ready, because we got two, three sermons to go before then.

If you got your Bibles, I hope you do, John chapter 3 is where we're going to be.

Very familiar passage.

Even if you're new to Bible study, there's one verse in here that you already know. We're in the fourth week of this series called Follow Me because I'm actually not in

the crowd business. There's going to be a huge crowd out at the beach, okay? Actually,

there's a huge crowd right now at Mary and Correctional watching. There's about 125 guys.

And 39 of those guys are currently signed up to be baptized. Guys, I'm going to come there

and baptize you. But the number needs to be about 75 by the end of my sermon here okay that's what we're going to do and we're talking about what a disciple is okay we had 44,000 people show up for Easter that's neat what's miraculous is when those people don't just show up to an event, begin to take steps to follow

into footsteps of Jesus because that's what a disciple is. And what we're going to talk about tonight

is the first step in what it means to be a disciple, to be a Christian, to be a believer, to be saved,

whatever phraseology we want to use, the phrase that Jesus used was to be born again.

So tonight we're going to talk about what it means to find salvation in Jesus Christ, to

surrender your life to the lordship of Jesus Christ.

And then my goal, let me just put this right here on the bottom shelf, okay?

I'm going to preach the gospel.

Then we're going to feel the gospel.

That'll make sense in about 45 minutes.

And then I won't, if you're a believer, I want you to be reminded of how good God is to us.

I want you to be reminded of what he saved us from and who he saved us to.
