This is the greatest hour to follow Jesus.

So I want to preach on something that I thought I didn't know that I'd be preaching this week,

but we just roll with the punches here, and it's awesome because it's not our church that belongs to the Lord,

and whatever he wants to do, he's going to do.

And on Tuesday, Michael's voice is getting better, but he said, I don't know if I'm ready to quite preach yet.

So I prayed about, what am I going to talk about?

And John Bevere was with us last Sunday night, and it was just powerful.

And he came to Jesus School on Monday, and he hit on something that really just, it stirred me so deeply.

And unfortunately, that was for students only. If you want that message,

come to Jesus School and we'll invite him back. At registration's open for Jesus School, by the way.

No place like it. No place like it. But what he said, and I'm sure all the students will agree,

stirred my heart so deeply. He really hit on just, you know, really knowing the real Jesus and really gave

like scary statistics how many people are turning away that are Christians, but he kind of like

provoked us to go, did they really know the real Jesus? There's such a counterfeit gospel right now that's being

preached. And I feel like the time is upon us to really preach Jesus and know your Bible and know

the Word of God and intimately know him. If you're married to someone that you don't know

intimately, is that even a real marriage?

Will it last?

No.

How is it any different with the Lord?

If you don't know him intimately, there won't be longevity.

And we're not in this for the hype.
