Now in the church in Antioch there were prophets and teachers.

Barnabas, Simeon, called Niger, Lucius of Cyrene, Manion, who had been brought up with

hair at the tetraric and saw.

While they were worshiping the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said,

"'Set apart for me Barnabas and Saul for the work which I have called them.'

So after they had fasted and prayed, they placed their hands on them, prayed for them,

and sent them off.

This is the Word of the Lord.'"

Thank you, please be seated.

Well, it is such a deep joy to be back with you again.

I think it was two years ago, maybe I was with you before the apocalypse.

Well done, you made it through to the other side.

And it's a special joy to be with you on this really significant Sunday as we commission

Tyler into this new role.

As I've been hanging out, walking around,

I've just been marveling at what God has done in your midst over the last two years since

I was here.

I feel like an old grandpa going, wow, how you've grown.

And it's amazing because I don't know, you obviously didn't get the memo.

You're meant to have declined through COVID, but you seem to have somehow managed to grow.

Obviously, new home are amazing, beautiful, stunning, hallelujah.

A new leader.
