Let's dive in.

Well, I have so much joy in my heart today. It has been a phenomenal weekend watching what God has been doing as we've been stepping forward in faith. So many stories of sacrifice already. People stepping forward to believe God for great things. And today is an opportunity at the end of our service.

We're going to have a moment where we're all invited to participate with our dream now commitments.

We're going to come forward.

You should have received a big yellow envelope when you walked in.

Many of you already came prepared to be a part of this moment.

Some of you, God's going to lead you in this moment to take that step. And our big dream, our big prayer, is that everyone

would be a part of it, that we would all participate. You know, it's really not about equal

gifts. It's about equal sacrifice. It's about all of us engaging in God's dream for the

future and what he has for us. And, you know, as I've been hearing stories, there's several that have impacted me on a

personal level that I want to just share with you.

One, I heard about the women in the CIW prison over in Manila, Philippines.

So we have a campus there.

There's about 1,300 women that gather together every weekend to watch the services, to gather together

in small groups, to worship together.

And as we were walking through Dream Now, we're like, how are they going to be a part of

Dream Now?

They don't have jobs.

They're in prison.

And they said, no, no, no, no, no.
