The

The How's it going, Church of the Highlands? You guys excited? Yeah, excited to be in church today.

I can feel it. I love being together on Sundays.

There's no place like Church of the Highlands. I want to say hello to our entire church family right now,

every campus, Alabama and in Georgia, everyone joining us online or on demand. And of course,

there's always the men and women of the Alabama Correctional Facilities. Come on, put your hands together

one more time and welcome the entire Highlands family.

It's such a joy to be with you guys. We've already had an amazing day at church and I'm excited for this service, this moment.

So glad all of you guys are with us. And before we get in God's word, I'm going to introduce our speaker in a moment. There's just a couple of things I wanted to say. And I hope you receive this first one because I just got to say it today how much Jill and I love you guys.

We were talking yesterday in the car. We pray every day for the people of Church of the Highlands.

There's a lot of amazing things about Highlands. By far the best are the people of Church of the

Highlands. Can I get a better amen? Come on. Thank God for the community, the relationships,

and we just love you guys. Our hearts literally feel like they're about to explode just what God is

doing here in this season. And so thank you for being here today. And then secondly, just really

excited about this season. Summer at Highlands is so unique. You just saw a couple of the great events,

motion and summer blasts that are coming.

Of course, we have serve day as well. One thing I wanted to highlight is just small groups.

We launched last Sunday, a short six-week small group semester. It is not too late to jump in.

It's a great way. Maybe for the first time for you to join a small group, get connected,

let the big church become small. And then our small groups serve together on serve day.

So it's kind of a double win there.

You get to get in those relationships and then get to serve together on serve day.
