Hey, everybody. We're so thrilled that you're here with us this weekend. As you've already heard,

next weekend, we're kicking off our one life campaign. And when I started, a lot of staff

members said to me, Saddleback is a campaign church. Is that true? Is this a campaign church?

I think so. Well, it's been five years since we've done a campaign. And that means,

like, we have huge opportunity right now. There are a lot of us who are not currently serving.

We're not hosting small groups. Last week when we had people stand up in the middle of the

service and we celebrated the hosts, it was awesome. So if you're hosting a group, that's great.

But what I saw when I looked

around the room, there's a lot of opportunity for more people to participate. And so this one life

campaign is going to be incredible. God's going to use it in a powerful way in our church. The big

vision is that God's given you one life. He's given me one life, and he wants us to use our one life to make a

difference.

And there are people all around us, friends, family members, coworkers, neighbors, people in

our life who have never encountered the love of Jesus.

And imagine if every follower of Jesus on planet Earth were to love, to share their faith, to share what

God's done in their life with one other life. Now, I think for a lot of us, when it comes to

sharing what Jesus has done in our life, there are a lot of things that go through our mind.

And perhaps some of what goes through your mind are the people that are weird when they

share their faith in Jesus.

In fact, I'll say it like this.

There's this coffee place, not coffee, ice cream place in Disney, and it's called Salt and Straw.

Anybody ever been there before?
