And what's good to see all of you today. And what's good to see all of you today.

We are in week number two of a series that we've called God Encounters,

who we're just looking at stories in the Bible where God encountered people and worked in their lives and showed up,

I mean, in a real, real time, real life situation and touched them in a great way.

And we know God just does it sometimes,

but we also know that we have a role in the process. And so we're just learning through that.

And of course, we are in a season right now of prayer and fasting that we have done since the beginning

of our church called 21 days of prayer and fasting. And I want to encourage all of you in it. A lot of you, most of

you actually already are. You're fasting in some kind of a way. If you're not sure how to fast,

you can go watch last Sunday's message. I kind of explained a lot of different ways in the Bible

that people fasted and just gave their hearts toward God and turned intently toward God,

and we want to do that. And we've been doing this this beginning of the church.

And honestly, I think it's the most important thing

we do all year long, both individually and corporately

as a church.

And so I want you to join us.

We are gathering for prayer every morning, Monday,

through Friday at 6 a.m.

I'll be leading tomorrow morning, excited about it.

I've been trying to lead more than half of these this year. I just really felt like I was supposed to be involved

and some of our other pastors will be leading different mornings. If you can join with this live,

there's nothing like being in the room. And we've had record crowds. Thank you so much for
