This is a Saddleback Church podcast.

Hey there, Saddleback Church.

It's so great to get to be together this weekend.

And, you know, this is such a special season for us here at Saddleback.

You've heard mentioned in the service so far that we're in the middle of this anchored life series

where we've been literally reading through the entire New Testament together as a church family.

And I keep hearing all these amazing stories about how God is using this in some of your lives

just to light something up inside of you, awaken something.

And I think it's been a very unifying experience for our whole church as well,

because we're all reading the same thing at the same time.

And so the same Bible that is transforming our lives here in Southern California,

that's the same word of God that is reaching Argentina at our Buenos Aires campus

and the Philippines, and it's at our Hong Kong campus, and in Berlin and Vancouver,

it's the mighty Word of God that is alive and active all over the globe.

And we're a part of something that's bigger than us right now in this season.

It feels so great as a church.

Now, this week, we are going to be launching into another week of reading. And I know some of you

guys are like the A-plus students, the superstars, you are all caught up on your reading. You've

like checked every single box. And you've got to feel a little bit proud about that,

right?

I mean, that's a lot of time.

That's a lot of commitment right there.
