Good morning. If you guys got your Bible, let's head over to John Chapter 20. John 20 is where we're going to be this morning. And man, I'm really excited about today. And I'm out of breath because I literally ran on stage. It's great. Good to see y'all. Okay. John Chapter 20. Hey, I do just want to do this before we get into the teaching today. We had something happened last week in our church. In my entire life, I've never seen anything like it. Who all was here on Easter?

Where are you at?

our digital disciples, our online family.

And so once you include all of our online family,

our total attendance last weekend,

it was 71,883 people were worshiping Jesus with us.

That was awesome.

Now, here's the number that matters to me,

and here's why I say this.

You're going to hear me say this often, is remember, we are not in the crowd business. We are in the

disciple business. Jesus did not say, go into all the world and make big crowds. He said to go into
