Amen. Have a seat, beloved. Thank you.

My God, my God. Welcome to 2019 church, beloved. How are you doing today? Are you doing? My name is Eric Hayes. I'm one of two elders here.

And we are a church that is a house of prayer, presence, and proclamation.

We will continue to beat that into the DNA and bake that into who we are.

Prayer, presence, and proclamation. I want to welcome our online community, digital disciples all over. Atlanta, all over. Well, if you're in Atlanta, come check us out. I still love you. Come check us out. All over Georgia, all over the U.S., literally places from all over the world. Those are tuning in live. I just want to say thank you. I just want to say

we plan for you. We pray for you. I want to welcome the unbeliever. Yeah. I want to welcome the

unbeliever. We are glad you are here. Welcome.

You actually may have been other places you've never heard that before, man.

We actually try to be, not try to be different.

We try to do what the Lord has called us to do, right?

Which has spread the gospel.

Now we still preach the gospel to believers because we all need to hear it, right?

But God is interested in expanding his real estate. And it's not real estate as far as land, right?

That's a man that's interested in that, a good investment. But the real estate that the Lord is interested in is the heart of man.

We talk about growing the kingdom, its souls coming into the kingdom through faith in Jesus Christ, right?

So if you're an unbeliever, we welcome you here.

You can absolutely belong before you believe.

I actually want to throw out something real quick, honorable mention.

I actually want to give a shout out

to any of the 2,500 souls

that were just baptized

this past weekend
