I don't know if there are 10 more potent verses of scripture than the ones we're landing

on today in Ephesians chapter 2, starting in verse 1.

And at the end of them, I want to take a chance to just hope that maybe some of the favor

of our student camp is still on our house because sometimes favor comes down and sometimes

favor goes up.

Sometimes blessing comes down and sometimes blessing goes up and I know we wanted to favor

of our house to be on this week and even the favor of our house to be on the whole camp

that we were a part of, even though there were hundreds of churches there possibly that

were not Passion City church and thousands of students that were not Passion City church

students.

We wanted the favor of our house to be on the whole week so as Brett would lead in the

morning and Brett was teaching in the morning and Chris and I were leading out in the evening

and our students were kind of creating a little bit of energy in the midst of it all.

We were praying.

The favor would come on the week and the favor of our house would come down to our students

but I'm praying today that even the favor of the week would come back up on our house

and at the end of the talk today, I'm going to give you an opportunity to stand up in

this building with no music playing as quiet as it is right now and to say, you know what

based on the gospel and based on what Jesus is saying, I want to join the 46 middle school

and high school students and I want to be alive in Jesus Christ.

We do that almost every gathering at Passion City and we give people a chance to raise

their hands and to my knowledge, I can't remember maybe one gathering in our entire history
