If you're a guest, we want to welcome you to 2819.

And to all of our digital disciples who are watching me live right now across the nation and around the world, we want to welcome you to 2819.

And if you are amongst us right now, and you are not a follower of the Lord Jesus Christ, whether you're sitting in this room or you're sitting in that overflow, what you mean

that overflow, you're not a follower of Christ.

We know that some of you are in this room, some of you are sitting in that overflow room.

We want you to know that we are glad that you are here.

I want you to know personally that you can belong before you believe.

You could be amongst us before you believe.

And our constant prayer is that through the proclamation of God's Word and by the power of the Holy Spirit,

a moment is going to come, maybe today.

That a moment is going to come in one of these sacred gatherings in which

you will throw yourself on the altar of the Lord Jesus Christ and surrender your life to him

hear me before time has run out on you because wherever I travel in the country and as often as I get

an opportunity to share with as many people as possible, I'm going

to keep reminding people and they're not going to shut me up. That time is running out. And this is not

the hour to be playing around with God or playing around with you walk with Jesus. I want to say

something, this is not the hour to be distracted by foolishness.

This is not the hour to be let astray.

This is the hour to be locked in at your relationship with the Lord because I believe that time is running out.

We are all on a clock right now that is counting backwards.

And the Lord is going to put it in his appearance and we're going to get some to some passages in the back half of Matthew that just reminds us

the simple question are you going to be ready for that there's a lot of people playing church
