Amen and amen. How we doing? Cheris doing all right?

Well, happy new year. If you got your Bibles, I hope you do. Go to Luke chapter 4. I'll meet you there in a few minutes.

I'd like to welcome all of our locations, especially for the very first time with all of our other locations, welcome our Arlington campus. Amen. They are

with us. So, well, happy new year. I hope your new year is going great. The great thing about

New Year's is new beginnings, right? And I'm sure you make New Year's resolutions and good luck

with that. And I hope the gym, many, you have many days in the gym and many healthy meals and all of that.

And I don't know how 2017 was for you, probably some good things, maybe some not so good things, but I hope 2018 is a great year.

I don't know about yours, but my 18 is starting out really great.

Started out smelling like roses, if you know what I mean.

Praise God. Amen, amen. All right. So,

taken one, but you got to have it. Raise your hand. Hold that hand up high. All right. If not,

we're going to sign you up for a mission trip, church and you're like, I don't even go to this place, well, you may end up here,

and so you need to know what you're getting into. Or if you come here all the time and help us

plant this thing, then vision leaks. And sometimes it's easy to kind of lose track on what we're about. And the Bible says, without vision, people perish or people throw off restraint.

And so this is God's call for us and to focus us as a church on what we're doing. And so today

we're going to do, today's going to be like an ecclesiological boot camp, all right? So typically
