Welcome to Gateway Church's podcast.

Wherever you're tuning in from, we hope you're encouraged by today's message.

I'm being excited about Easter coming up.

Come on.

It is three more weekends and then the greatest day in all of history, right?

The day that we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus.

And here's what I want to encourage you. This will be the best Easter you've ever had. I promise you this,

if you bring somebody with you. But you don't just come to be like, I'm going to have a great

Easter and your wonderful outfits and go eat with your family. All that is wonderful. But how about

you to decide I'm going to bring somebody with you? And here's what I want to challenge you to is to move past information to

invitation. Information is, hey, we got some services at our campus or, hey, here's the times that

they are. That's information and that's wonderful. But have been to me to move past information

and say, will you come set with me?

I'll take you to lunch afterwards, do whatever you got. We talked about last one that Jesus leaves the 99 for the one. So my question is, who's your one? Who's the one person in your life? I'm praying even right now, God just brings a name to mine, somebody at your office, somebody at school, somebody that's your roommate, whoever it may be, that God puts that one person in your mind, and you go, you know, this Easter, I'm going to make sure I have somebody with me. I'm telling you, it will be the best Easter you've ever had if you have somebody sitting beside you. We're going to give the gospel as plainly as we can. How many of you're going to believe with me that hundreds of people are going to cross from death into life?

Come on every campus. We're going to see God do wonderful, wonderful things. I do want to say hello to all of our locations, everyone joining us online, of course, on demand later in the week. Some of your own spring break. And I hope you're having an awesome time with your family and that you're sleeping in and eating all the stuff you shouldn't.

It's the week to do it. And I want to give a special shout out to our Justin campus.

Tammy and I got to visit there last weekend. God's doing wonderful things at our Justin campus.

Got to meet so many wonderful people and just so many amazing stories of how God is working in the life of the church and in people's lives.

And I want to give you one just crazy story last week that happened if I could.

Is that okay, everybody?

At our Justin campus, before the 9 o'clock service in the foyer, just greeting Tammy and I are talking with people.
