Good morning. My name is Tim Glover.

I have the pleasure of serving alongside my family on the parking and connections teams.

And my wife Amy and I are also cohort leaders for the training program.

Today's scripture reading is from the Gospel of Matthew chapter 5 and verse 6.

Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness for they shall be satisfied.

This is the Word of the Lord.

Thanks be to God.

Thanks to him.

Well, good morning.

Before we dive in today, I wanted to update you a little bit.

Last week, we just kind of threw out a vision for planting church planting churches.

As we kind of trained those guys up and and send them out.

And we asked for 100 grand. We were like, man, we'd love to get 100 grand from you.

Every dollar going to that end.

And about 700 or 800 of you actually gave over $600,000 last weekend, which is unbelievable.

And so that you never cease to blow my mind in regards to your generosity towards kingdom initiatives.

And so thank you again, just another one of those ways.

You make it a delight to pastor in a time that it can be difficult to pastor.

So you just always encourage my heart.
