How great was last weekend?

How many of you were here for Easter? You made it for Easter? Powerful weekend across the

entire life of the church. And I got to tell you this, that between adults and children, we had

more than a thousand people indicate they gave their lives to Jesus

last weekend. Come on, that's worth celebrating from death to life. And I'd say it's the best Easter

since I've been here. And, okay, some of you get that. If you don't know, I've only been here about nine months. So it's my only Easter. And we're just going to keep going up from there, right? Everybody's just going to get better and better. From glory to glory, from victory to victory. Okay. And if you're back from Easter, we're just so glad and honored that you are here we want to say welcome home to you make this your

your church home god's doing wonderful things in the life of the church and as you saw men's nights

coming up so all the men in the house um expect to see you yes on men's night in just a few weeks so go ahead and

get registered it's going to be a powerful night i'm excited to be there and uh i would encourage you dads

If you have a son, bring your son with you. Nothing more powerful than to see men of God

modeling what it looks like to worship Jesus and go after his heart. And also today, water

baptisms, everybody. Right after service, water baptism is taking place. Two things. things one if you've never been water baptized and
