Welcome guests, locations, church online, we're glad to have you come on church, we'll celebrate and welcome everybody that's with us today.

Thank you team. I got a word from God, he gave it to me quick, he gave it to me fast, and he gave it to me urgently.

So I'm ready to get right into that, I'm not going to waste time as I organize myself up here.

But let me just really quickly, a couple quick thoughts, want to throw it out you.

First of all, we are still taking applications for our Fresh Life Leadership College for our fall semester, and we're having a preview day on May 12th.

So if you want to see what is a day in the life of, check that out, there's information there on the screen.

Freshlife.church, our college, we're able to offer a number of different degrees that can benefit you serving God within the walls of the local church, be it this church, or another church one day, or in marketplace ministry, or something in between.

And we're just really excited about what you'll learn in the midst of serving God alongside our church and staff and team, as we do all that we're doing here at the church.

And as you learn in the midst of that environment, much like a teaching hospital, where you're getting to apply in real time, in a fast paced multi-state nationally and internationally reaching ministry, as you get to sort of got in the middle of the blood and guts and thick of it.

And whether you take that back to where you serve God, or somewhere He'll call you, be that somewhere on the world, or you end up moving through the ranks of our leadership pipeline, as we of course now have an internship and a residency and end up perhaps some of you coming on staff, we do welcome you in all across the country.

As you listen to this on Spotify, YouTube, Apple Podcast, and you consider, what does God have for me? I just feel like something is stirring up, not here or here so much is right here, then we would welcome you in, you can get your application in.

Secondarily, secondly, number two, numero dos, Easter is next week, and that's awesome, and we are excited about that resurrection Sunday, the chance to talk about the power that Jesus has over death and hell in the grave, and of course to consider His sacrifice on the cross.

So we're having two different worship experiences, completely different messages, I'm really excited because God already gave me both of them, and I'm sitting high in the saddle because I'm fired up on these words that God gave me, and Jenny and I had a plane the other day, I don't know if the Holy Spirit got on in the beginning or the middle of the flight, but I got off this plane with five different sermons, and I've never been so happy in my entire life.

And a couple of series, we have a lot, God's giving me so much, we're going to be, of course, He can change His mind, and He does that sometimes, but preaching throughout the summer and fall, I'm excited about what God's going to do in the life of our church and the coming days, excited about it very much.

Yeah, you can be too, I welcome you in.

So Easter, good Friday, we'll be taking communion, good Friday, that's really cool.

And both of these represent monumental opportunities to think about and consider carefully who in your life could benefit from an invitation to attend a service that could change their life forever.

And I don't take it lightly or say it flippantly that you ought to think about who you work alongside, who you'll cross paths with, but there are hurting people out there.

And to think about what you can do to say, I'd love to bring you as my guest into our church, where you can be certain that we will pray and carefully think about what we do to present Jesus to them, and that we'll give them a chance to make a decision for Christ.

And we have seen God so faithfully respond in people's lives over the years of our church, 15 years that we've been going towards Easter saying, let's make this all about the person who doesn't know him.

And not to partnership, you can be sure, I have been, we will be preparing and planning and putting on the finest worship experience we can, and knowing that it's also up to you to do the job of bringing, to do the job of inviting.

And then of course, when we leave it all to the Holy Spirit, and we go base jumping for Jesus, y'all, that's the beauty of it all.
