Welcome to Gateway Church's podcast. Wherever you're tuning in from, we hope you're encouraged by today's message.

Hey, welcome to church, everybody. We want to welcome all of our locations, our prison campuses. You're not a project to us.

You are family and all of our gateway gatherings.

And I want to say a special welcome to everyone that is visiting for the first time,

or maybe the first time in a long time.

Can we put our hands together at every location?

Let's welcome all that to us today.

It's a great weekend to be in church. We are bringing in canned goods as we shared last week.

And already throughout the week, I saw some of the campuses, people were already dropping them off

during the week. And if you missed that last week, because for some reason you weren't in church

and I'm guessing you were sick.

I mean, that's the only reason you had missed church on a weekend.

But if you miss that, then, hey, run to the grocery store real quick after service and then run back over and we'll take that.

And we're going to help distribute that to those that are in need that I shared last week that we learned

from some of our partners around that demand is up and supply is low.

And so we're helping bridge the gap.

And we're going to make a big difference together this weekend, so I'm excited about that.

And last weekend we shared in this beginning of this series on the Book of Proverbs that you could jump in on the Bible reading plan. I want to let you know that again. If you're a week behind, don't worry about it. Just jump in where we're at together. And you can text 71010, the word Proverbs, to 71010. And that'll get sent to you every week. And it's connected to our website. I want to let you know

this is pretty amazing. More than 31,000 views of the Bible reading plan last week alone. So that's a

whole lot of people reading the Bible, everybody. I don't know if you know this, but God is moving

in a significant way in the nation as it comes to Bible reading.

Bible sales are up dramatically.
