Hey, this is Kyle Eidleman from Southeast Christian Church, and I'm going to thank you for listening to the message today.

As we open up the scriptures together, I pray that this message inspires you, challenges you, and is the right word at just the right time in your life.

Enjoy the message.

Hey, Southeast family, we are in week five of

our Jesus filter series. We're looking at what Jesus said yes and no to. And this week, we're

focusing on how Jesus said yes to compassion. Today, I am really grateful that we get to learn from

someone who models the heart of compassion well.

It's our Franklin campus pastor, Bryson Cook.

And before he jumps in, I just want to say how encouraged I am by what God is doing in and through our Franklin campus.

Since the spring, attendance has gone from about 350 to over 500 people every Sunday.

71% of adults at our Franklin campus are now connected in small groups, which is one of the strongest discipleship cultures we have at any of our

campuses. And here's the number I'm really excited about. So far this year, we have seen 27 people

be baptized at Franklin,

27 lives publicly declaring that Jesus is Lord.

Jesus is everything.

So God is moving at this campus.

Lives are being changed, and as a church,

we get a front row seat to see what God is doing.

So Bryson, we just want to say that we love you.

We love your wife, Holly. We're so thankful

that you guys have said yes to what God is doing at the Franklin campus. We believe the best

is yet to come. Church family, would you please welcome Bryson Cook? What's up, church family?
