Wednesday night crew, I am so honored to be able to speak to you guys tonight.

I'm so honored.

Pastor Skip asked me to jump in to expound with you this weekend.

So you can go ahead, pre-mark your Bibles.

We're going to be in Colossians chapter 2.

And we're going to begin in verse 6 and then work our way down through verse 15.

That's going to be our cortex for tonight.

If we haven't had that chance to meet yet,

my name is Caden, like Caleb said.

I have the privilege of being able to serve here on our pastoral team.

And I get to be the high school pastor alongside our middle school pastor,

Pastor Santi, and our young adult pastor, Pastor Nick.

And we just have the honor and privilege to be able to serve the young people here in our church, but also in

Albuquerque. I hope that you haven't yet given up on this youngest generation. I hope that you

haven't written them off yet, because every week alongside alongside my wife Annie, we get to love,

we get to worship, we get to pray for these students, these young high schoolers.

And just in the last couple of months alone, we've seen 30 high school students come to

accept Christ for the first time in their lives.

And so I hope you haven't given up on them. I hope you haven't

written them off. I hope they're in your prayers. I'd humbly ask that you include myself,

Pastor Sonsie and Pastor Nick in those prayers as well as we endeavor to just love on this new

upcoming generation. They need it. They need Jesus. They need a relationship with Christ.
