Morning and Lake Point family.

If you guys got your Bibles head over to Acts Chapter 18,

the Axe 18 is going to be today.

And while you're turning there, let me just give a quick heads up

because there's a group of people that are not in the room right now

that we usually are.

Because this summer, we will over the course of the summer send about 3,000,

actually over.

Dang, wrong tube. Sorry. Is this a service I burped in a few weeks

ago? I'm sorry if you got both those. We will send over 3,000 people to our student camps

over the course of the summer. And right now, the day before yesterday, we sent our middle schoolers to camp. And so they're there right now, which means we need to be praying for an outpouring the Holy Spirit and an on application of a lot of deodorant. We need both those things to happen at middle school camp. I have been a middle school camp counselor many times. And we need those. But here's what I also know is that every year at camp, there's a ton of

both our students and the counselors, the parents that went to disciple our kids. They're there right now

and they'll like hop online and see what's going on back home. So at all of our campuses, hey, Lake Point family, will you help me show our middle scorers how proud we are of them taking time this summer? That's right, man, to see God and outpouring the spirit on their lives. And amen, amen, amen. We're all in on that. I'm all in on camp and we're just, we're proud of everybody. So if you got a high school

or it's not too late, sign them up for camp, you're gonna, it's like the highest ROI thing you can do as a Christian parent. Okay, now let's get in. We are in week, I believe, I think this is week 20, it's either 22, 23, 24, somewhere around there of a series that we're calling. There is more, we're weaving in out of this series over the course of like two years, preaching verse by

verse to the book of... 24, somewhere around there of a series that we're calling, there is more. We're weaving in out of

this series over the course of like two years preaching verse by verse to the book of Acts. Why are we

doing the Book of Acts? Well, the Book of Acts is a story about a powerful outpouring of God's

spirit that resulted in tons of people getting saved and tons of churches getting planted.

And honestly, like we've just been in a season at Lake Point that's felt like a kite caught in a hurricane of grace. Incredible outpouring of the Holy Spirit. We're seeing tons of people getting saved. And then if you don't know this, and I'm always afraid that people don't know this, and you need to know this, you are right now, this is the epicenter of a church planning movement. We have now planted 80 churches in some of the hardest-to-reach cities all over North America.

That's right. We call the Strategic Launch Network. And so this is like ground zero. Came out of laid one church. And so it's like what I like to do is anytime God is doing something unique, I just want to grab my Bible and find where he was doing that same thing

and go, okay, God, tell us what to do when we're in a season like this. And so we're doing this series called There Is More. Okay, now, let me, we are right now, we're going to be in Acts 18. We're going to do a lot of Bible nerd stuff today. And so get, you know, get out your pens, you're thinking caps. But let me catch you up to where we are in Acts 18 because this is the,

this is the ground zero, like the gospel touches down in a really important place in Acts 18. Now, let me give it a little rewind. So let me catch us up. The Book of Acts is a story. I just told you what the story is about where Jesus, the reason Jesus gives a promise to all of his followers in Acts 1-8. And the promise he gives is he tells him, hey, you're going to receive power. Power is going to come on you when the Holy Spirit comes on you. And then when he comes on you, you're going to be my witnesses in four places, Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria, and the end of the earth. And then in the very next chapter, they have a prayer meeting, kind of like we have an encounter or we have in January. They got a prayer meeting. And the church prays, the spirit shakes the church, and the church is then empowered to go out and shake the world. And so in the very next chapter in Acts 2, that's exactly what happens. the spirit comes with a sound of like a mighty rushing
