Man, thank you, Gage. I live in Birmingham. I realize today, I've lived in Birmingham now longer than I lived here in Auburn. Yeah, you want to go aw with me? Oh, it's a, I drove, I got up early this morning. I drove downtown, y'all built new buildings. That was surprising. Y'all just keep growing, it's a good city. But Birmingham, if you didn't know, Birmingham is regularly the most church city in the United States.

Someone would say Birmingham is over-churched and underformed.

But what Birmingham gets,

and I have this conversation over and over and over in Birmingham.

I had it last week.

A man of God who started coming to our church that had been in another church for a number of years has a conversation with me and he essentially starts with, we're coming to ACC Birmingham now and we don't want to. Cool, man. I didn't sign up for it either. Just God moved us here. And I'm like,

why? And he's like, because God is moving there. We feel compelled to go there. And then he starts reminding me of what happens in the room at Rosewood Hall, what probably just happened in

Rosewood Hall now, what's happening in Nashville right now where the people

of God come together and people are just drawn to the spirit of God because we're not doing anything

real compelling. We're just in those places. We're turning on a screen for the most part. And people are

coming in droves.

But the thing Birmingham, and I think Nashville understands

that sometimes in the middle of this beautiful place,

you can forget, is that God is pouring out a spirit here.

And if you were just in the room, just what Gage was talking about,

when God's people come together and praise the name of God,

there's something so beautiful, but do not miss Auburn.

Auburn, do not miss the moment that you're in right here.

Don't miss how beautiful it is what God's pouring out in this place,

in this time, in this season.

And over and over and over, there's just another banger of a message.

Two weeks ago, burn the ships. Anybody excited about that one? Somebody, yes, Miles, that was unbelievable. Somebody asked me that same conversation, they're like, how do you come up with your content? And I'm like, we just make it up. We get it on the Google. And now, literally, we just walk through the text. It's like, what's coming next in the text? It's like, how do you time it out in such a way that it seems to land on the perfect weeks? I'm like, it's called the Holy Spirit and you should wake up to it. It is all around us. And then last week with Rahab engaged, anybody pumped and fired up about that one? Like it was so encouraging. I was in the back of Rosewood Hall going, yes, amen, to a screen. And I didn't even care. I wasn't even insecure about it. I was just like, yes, there's more. But today's message, here's how it reads.
