Amen, amen, amen. Hey, it never gets old, does it? Isn't that awesome? Hey, welcome to the Church of 1122. I'm so glad that you're here if you got your Bible. And I hope you do. If you'll grab it and go to the book of Ephesians, it's kind of towards the back of the Bible. That's where we're going to be for the next eight weeks.

So what we're going to be doing over the next eight weeks is we're studying the book of Ephesians. And a part of the reason why is I just want to get rooted in a little theology, which

that'll be fun for me.

Hopefully I can explain it in a way that's fun for you because what God's doing here at the

Church of 1122 has been absolutely amazing.

And I want to walk through the gospel and how he's doing what he's doing.

Because from the day that we opened in 2012, September,

1,500 and let me do quick math, 545, 1,545 people have surrendered their life to the Lordship of Jesus Christ
