All right, what's up everybody?

Great to see you all.

Thanks for being here at Lake Point. Hey, welcome all of our campuses. And those of you that might be joining us online, man, so super grateful for you. And let me just say a big happy Father's Day to all you guys as well. I'm a dad's one of the highlights of my life. And I know some of you probably got some really cool gifts for Father's Day, but I think I got the best

one because my daughter is here to teach with me today. I'm excited about that. So would you welcome

all the way from Ventura, California, Jody Hickerson? Hey, guys. Oh, what's up, Lake Point? Oh, man,

I am so excited to be here. I'm stoked to be here to use a California word. I love getting to be at Lake Point. I've heard so much about Lake Point. I work at a church in Ventura, California. It's called Mission Church. And actually my husband and I, along with a couple of their families, planted mission in 2011. So one of the reasons I'm excited to be here is to say thank you in person

for being the kind of church and people that care about planting churches for people that are

far from God. Thank you for being such a kingdom-minded, generous church that cares about church

planting. I just promise you there are people that you may never meet this side of heaven

that have been impacted by your generosity. So I'm really excited to be here. And I'm excited to be here on Father's Day because this guy's pretty great. This guy's are a great dad. I'm so thankful. Happy Father's Day to you. Thanks. All right, before we get started, then I got a few dad jokes. We gotta do some dad jokes.

Do you hear about the two pieces of bread that went out on a date?

It was low. All right, before we get started, then I got a few dad jokes. We got to do some dad jokes.

Do you hear about the two pieces of bread that went out on a date? It was loaf at first sight.

It's awesome. Yeah, that's good. Why do melons have weddings? Because they can't elope.

Well, again, dinosaurs clap their hands. They're extinct. That's why I don't,'t told you mom and I went to the aquarium the other day. We didn't stay long. Something fishy about that place. I'm just telling you.

What did Elvis say to his landscaper? Oh gosh, he's cracking himself up.

Thank you. Thank you for the mulch. I love it. And you know where I keep all these dad jokes? In my dad-dye base. That's where I keep it. So, hey, happy Father's Day. This message is not a Father's Day message, but it kind of is. And what we've been doing, we've been spending some time looking at the greatest sermon that's ever been preached

by the greatest person who's ever lived, of course, is Jesus.

And that sermon is found in Matthew, the first book of the New Testament, chapter 5, 6, and 7.

In fact, we're all reading it every day, right?

Right?

Yeah, this last week, we talked about how counterculture, how counterintuitive, how upside down against the flow, paddle upstream kind of message it is.
