Happy New Year Jesus. Josh Lockery said he hadn't seen, he said, wished everyone else,

but only so glad for a new year.

It's so good to be with you.

I am very excited that I get to speak with you this morning.

Before we step into the message, I just wanted to highlight a couple things that we spoke about

in church news and then some other things that we don't have in church news.

With the start of a new year, we are launching something new. Do we have any junior hires? You're in sixth through eighth grade, six, seventh, eighth graders. Do we have you in this room? Will you wave at me? Where my people are? Yes, come on, I see you. Listen, when I was preparing this message and the Lord was talking to me about six years and then the seventh being fallow, all I thought about was six, seven, because that's all my, any time, anything is, and my mother-in-law is 67 and my kids don't let her get away with it. Sorry, Mom, I just gave away your age. But for my junior hires, we have noticed that we have a lot of junior hires actually at this service and that you're hungry

for the Lord we've watched you worship and go after God and so we're going to start something new

starting next week Sunday we are going to start a discipleship group with our junior higher age group

and so junior hires will be in here for worship with us. And then after worship, our young

saints team has a discipleship group that they're starting. They'll help you exit through those doors

and we'll give you all those directions. But bring your Bibles, bring your notebooks. You'll be in with us

for worship. And then when we preach, you guys can head out there. No one's going to force you. If you like

being in the big room, you are welcome to stay.
