Welcome to Gateway Church's podcast. Wherever you're tuning in from, we hope you're encouraged by today's message.

What's up, everybody? You in a good mood?

Okay, I'm in a good mood even though since the last time I saw you, my son's got beaten by the Bucks.

And let me just say, I made it one of the rules that if I was going to speak this week in anybody wearing a Milwaukee Bucks,

Jersey, Shirt, or Hat, any of our campuses would be immediately removed from the premises.

How latched a boy.

I'm just saying, I'm still kind of just, if they were playing the Mavs, trust me, I would have been rooting for the Mavs,

but since they were playing the Honest in the Bucks, I was rooting for the Sons and my heart was broken, so just pray.

Well, it's great to be back with you this week. We're continuing our series entitled Saturated.

And we've been talking about, for the last couple of weeks, what Jesus used to distinguish the wise virgins from the foolish virgins.

He said the wise virgins had an abundance of oil and they were ready to use it.

And week number one, we talked about the oil of gladness and the pleasure of God and what an incredible thing it is that the God of the universe would choose to find pleasure in you.

Then in week two, a little bit of tougher subject matter, we talked about setting ourselves apart and that we were all called to be kings and priests in this kingdom of priests.

This weekend, we're talking about what I like to call the ultimate advantage, the oil of the spirit, the anointing of the Holy Spirit.

If you've got a Bible, I want you to turn to Psalm 23 and put a marker in Luke chapter three.

We'll start in Psalm 23 and then we're going to quickly get to Luke chapter three, but while you're turning there, I just want to ask a question, how many of you love to lose?

That all of our campuses everywhere, would we just put your hand up? Okay, let's just look around.

Well, good. I thought there might be a few. That's good. Nobody likes to lose.

Me, I don't just not like losing, I despise losing.

And unfortunately, when you spend 20 years in relationship at a place, like I have a gateway and you start here when you're young, 21,

sometimes there's some infamous stories about you when you're intensely competitive.

For instance, the first couple of months of the church's history, here at Gateway, there were probably 75 people in the church at the time.
