Welcome to the Voochurch podcast. In today's Easter message, but if he did, Pastor Rich Wilkerson

Jr. reminds us the resurrection isn't just history, it's a living hope. Even at rock bottom,

the Rock of Ages offers purpose, strength, and a new life. Join us next week as we begin Slow Burn,

a new collection of talks about the power of waiting.

Hey, today at all of our locations, everyone's standing here for a moment because Don Shrew and I,

we came up here not just to greet you, but we also came up here with, I think, some important

news. It's funny how God works and God's timing.

But those of you that are part of our church and part of our community, you know that we have

been in a long, long journey down in South Miami, that we have a dream and a belief of

building a brand new facility down there at South Miami. In fact, I was there at 845 this morning.

Tents are full of people.

I don't know what the 1230 looks like right now, but there was just no room anywhere. And this has

been years in the making, lots of bricklayers offerings towards that. But on this past Thursday,

I went and met with the officials of South Miami. And if you can believe this, on Good Friday, we were finally,

after many years handed the permits to build. Come on, I need every location. Come on, giving praise to God.

This is big. This is big. This is big. This is big. This is big. This is just really kind of one milestone

on a very, very long journey. If we think we fought in battles, we got many more to come.

This is a state-of-the-art 30-plus million dollar project. And I also want to say that

up to this point right now, we've given, and there's $6.2 million set aside for that project give yourselves a round of applause that's

your generosity that's your giving we're believing I want to speak faith on Easter

Sunday we're believing that we're gonna have $15 million in the bank towards this
