Amen. Hey, welcome to church. Church of 1122. That was, that was Rusty Pritchin, one of our elders here at the church. He's big and he buff. He's buff and he's a crier, you know.

So he cries. Some people cry. That's okay. I don't cry. I work out. I have hobbies. But he's a, he's a crier.

And I hope when I grow up,

I'm half the man that Elder Rusty is. Throughout this series, rescued from an ordinary life,

we'll introduce you to all of the elders other than me. Just so you can see a picture of what an extraordinary life looks like. Each of these men have been rescued from

an ordinary life. If you've got your Bibles, go Acts chapter 20, Acts chapter 20. Also, we're at

kind of standing room only. If you could scoot in a little bit and the people that are standing

on the back there, you guys, we probably have seats, but sometimes people just like to space out for whatever reason, you know,

because they're like, you're a dude, I'm a dude.

We're not sitting next to each other because I don't know you.

So if we could just kind of adjust a little bit,

we'd love for you to have a seat.

I preach for a long time, so we want you to be comfortable,

and we'll make that happen. All right. What a great little move that was. Thank you. Also, I need to let you guys know that we have a 522 Sunday evening service, 522 Sunday evening service.

And so there's a few hundred people that attend that service.

So we'd love for you, you know, you don't have to come today to 522 because you've already been here.

But next Sunday, we'd love for you to try the 522 service

to free up seats for 1122 service. Also, we have 722 Thursday night service. So try one of those

alternative times. We would appreciate it. All right, we are beginning a brand new series called

Rescue from an Ordinary Life. There's no real introduction. Let's go Acts 20 beginning in verse 1.

The Bible says in Acts 21, after the uproar ceased, if you'll remember two weeks ago or three weeks ago,

the uproar was in Ephesus for two hours.
