Hey guys, thanks for checking out this Bible teaching.

Every week release a podcast that corresponds to the sermon.

It's like a little bit of a deeper dive, where we hit some things that didn't make it into the sermon,

some theological concepts.

We talk about things that are going on in our culture and how to think about them from a biblical perspective.

We call that podcast Live Free.

An episode releases every Monday that corresponds to the sermon. If you would like to check out Live Free, just go to the Lake Point YouTube channel and look for the podcast tab there. We'll see you at Live Free. Now, enjoy this Bible teaching. Good morning. Good morning, Lake Point Family. Amen. You guys got your Bible set over to Acts chapter 20. That's going to be today. And man,

I'll be honest, I'm still just a little bit aglow from encounter this last Wednesday.

Who's that encounter? Where are y'all at? You guys? Amen, man. It was incredible. Listen,

it's a pretty special thing when tens of thousands of people are gathering to pray together. And just never see

anything like that. Now, I do want to give a heads up about today's message. Today's message is a little

different. Let me get a little background to this. I typically plan what I'm going to preach

about 18 months in advance. And I do the same thing. Here's how I write a sermon. I've been doing the same thing for about 18 years is I get the passage I'm going to preach and I take a walk and I pray the same thing almost every week. I say, God, they're your people, not my people. So give me what you need for them to grow into your glory. And I take a walk. I start praying, and the Holy Spirit

starts speaking to me, and I stick a little iPhone note. And I just aggregate that throughout the

week, and there we go. Some of my end. This week, it was like Tuesday, and that's when I start.

And it was like, I took my walk, and like the first time in like 18 years, like it just,

I didn't feel like God was giving me anything.

Then Wednesday, I woke up and at Wednesday, I started realizing, man, Wednesday morning, it feels like the Holy Spirit's asked me to do something different.

And that doesn't typically happen.

I sent this text message to our team and note the time that I sent it.

It was 9.29 a.m. on Wednesday. And I just said, confirmed. I'm going to switch out the Jude series.

That's what we were going to do for five weeks in there is more. Go back to the Book of Acts.
