Hey, don't start clicking off. I promise we're going to get to the preaching in just a moment, but I'm excited about this.

This is a very special tradition at elevation and we want to speak to all of you who call our church home, especially our extended family, our E-FAM, around the world because

once a year we have a special series. It's really more than a collection of teachings. It's a faith experience for all of the people who are part of our ministry at elevation.

And this year our theme is Game Changer.

I think one of the most exciting things that God is doing in our ministry is to open the doors of our ministry beyond our walls.

What I mean by that is we are amazed at the thousands and thousands and thousands of you who are letting us know that you're impacted by this ministry.

In another zip code, in another state, in another country, maybe eventually on another planet.

But what I wanted to mention to you is that you can be a part of this beyond just consuming. Many of you have been blessed by God to be a blessing.

I wanted to ask today, would you be willing during this special time of year to make a one-time donation to the ministry or maybe partner with us on a monthly basis through recurring giving?

I believe God could use your gift to enable this ministry to continue to reach, to continue to break paradigms, to continue to lift up Jesus.

And I wanted to ask you personally to go to elevationchurch.org and you can see the ways to give there. But most importantly, know that we feel a tremendous sense of responsibility to minister the word of God not only to you, but to challenge you, to partner with us and reaching people for the gospel.

I believe your gift today could be a game changer. So don't put it off right now.

elevationchurch.org, you can find all of the details. I hope you enjoy this message and thank you for being a part of the family.

Welcome today to all of our locations. Can we thank God for all of our campuses and locations? I said, can we thank God for all of our campuses and locations?

Amen.

I was doing my stalker thing where I go around to all the campuses, pushing buttons with cameras that are set up in the auditoriums.

I've been on, do I look tired? I was on a trip. I went to Asheville and Columbia and I even went to Toronto for a minute, all through technology.

I was on a trip before I came out to see you, some low jet lag. Thank God for the great work he's doing also with our E-Fam around the world.

And our interns, our fall 2018 interns.

Thank God for them, thank God for their word robes, for their sense of style and fashion.

I'm going to tell you why they're up here in a minute. I want to keep you in suspense.

But hey, one thing that I really always feel good about is when I'm doing exactly what I know God wants me to do when I stand up here on the stage.
