Hey everybody, before we dive into this week's teaching, I want to tell you next week I'm

starting a brand new message series that's called Exponential.

What I hope you're going to understand is that God wants to do exceedingly and abundantly

more in you and through you than you could ever imagine.

We're going to see an exponential return on your spiritual investment in people's lives.

Today I'm excited to introduce to you whatever our own campus pastors.

You know them and you love them.

He's one of the best communicators in our organization, one of the finest leaders that

I know, a great man of God coming from life church in Wichita, Kansas.

Would you please help me welcome pastor Tim Duremus.

Thank you so much Pastor Craig for that introduction and I'm honored to get to be with all of

you today at all of our life church locations and church online.

You're a part of our family and we love you.

Seven and a half years, Pastor Craig, for seven and a half years my wife Katie and I and

my two children Olivia and Jack have been a part of life church and I can say that we are

better in every single way.

We're better, relationally, emotionally, physically, financially and most important, spiritually

as followers of Christ because what God has done in our family through this church.

And so Pastor Craig, I just want to say thank you for being faithful to the call that God

has put on your life.

Our lives is different.

We don't take this church for granted or you for granted either.
