All right.

All right. Who's glad to be in church today?

Anybody?

Come on give Jesus a great hand clap for praise, everybody.

I know, me too.

I'm so glad, so, so glad to be back.

Tammy and I took a few weeks off to celebrate my 60th birthday.

You now have an old pastor,

everybody. And yeah, and it was also celebrating 40 years of ministry. So we had some gatherings with some friends and family, and we just had the best time ever. I took the last

two weeks to kind of prep back for some of the series that are coming up. I did two weeks of study,

and I'm so excited. I have so much material. In fact, I have way too much material today,

just because I've been studying for two weeks. So anyway, get your seatbelts on. I'm ready to go.

I want to say a big hello to all of our campuses. We are one church in 24 locations all across

the great state of Alabama and in Georgia. And of course,

what an honor. And it an honor everybody to bring who we are as a church, all of our services,

baptism, small groups, growth track, dream team to more than 21 of Alabama's Department of

Corrections facilities. Yeah. And we really love you guys.

And of course there's always people that are watching online somewhere too.

And we're glad you're along for the ride as well.

I'm starting a brand new series today.

Before we get started, I was going to tell you that while I was gone over these past few weeks,

giving went up and attendance went up.
