Well, church, you know what today is? It's kind of a big day. You know what today is?

Today's your 10th birthday as a church. How about that?

We used to say we were like a big giant-headed toddler just like falling all over the place,

but we're sort of like that awkward preteen now.

So in 1 Corinthians 1.31, it says, let the one who boasts boast in the Lord.

And so I asked for a few statistics of things that have happened over the last 10 years.

So I thought I'd just share a few of them.

We've had 2,392 sermons preached.

If you total them all up, which means you've sat under, hold on, this is better.

You've sat under 133,000 minutes

of preaching.

Some of you all don't have any excuse, none, zero.

We've done 341 weddings, 323 baby dedications.

We have no idea how many babies have been born, especially since we brought

St. John's campus on. That group loves to make babies down there in St. John's County.

Check this out. We have trained almost 200 people in our school of ministry. We have sent

46 long-term missionaries to 19 countries,

467 church plants in 31 countries, and sent 2,263 people on short-term trips to 16 countries.

How about that?

The clock is ticking on your three years for some of you. So,

happy birthday. You've been forewarned. But listen, all of that is for the one name and the one fame and the one renown of Jesus Christ. Amen? That is not our brand. That is not our name.

We want to make much of the name of Jesus. So if you've got a Bible, turn to 1 Corinthians 10.
