And welcome to 2819 Church. Amen. Amen. Amen. Welcome. Welcome.

My name is Eric Hayes. I'm one of two elders here. And it's just a blessing and a privilege to be able to be before you today.

We are a church that is a house of prayer, proclamation, and presence.

I just want to welcome our online community as well, the digital disciples. And then our pastor is actually,

he was at least the one time I was following him on, I still follow him on social media.

He was in London and he was saying that he was running into digital disciples over there.

Right?

Listen, family, I just, one of my, I would say a charge that I have at this house is when we experience stuff like that, we can't just act like it's normal.

I'm not asking you to give like an applause and that like that, but let's not act like there

are houses all over the planet where people are just checking in from London.

Where I met a brother last baptism, he just flew in from Jersey or New York just for that people

fly in from Houston I met a brother I want to say almost 10 years ago now that came over from

London that's flew over there that's not happening everywhere and we're preaching we believe it's the full true gospel so it's not like we're trying to do it's not like we're preaching.

What we believe is the full true gospel.

So it's not like we're trying to appeal to each and ears and stuff like that.

So did your disciples want to give you some love?

All right.

I also want to welcome the unbeliever.

So whether you're looking live or whether you're looking at a recording or you're here locally or if you're in the overflow room, I just, I just want to welcome you.

We really do believe you can belong before you believe.

Because as most churches, it should be this way.

We actually prepare for you because the commission, the great commission is about getting this glorious gospel in the ears of unbelievers and that the Holy Spirit prick the hearts.
