Amen and amen. How we're doing, church? You ready for this? You ready to change the world? I hope so. Grab your Bibles. We're going to be in Romans chapter 6. Romans chapter 6. How many of you have never been a part of one of our compassion weekends before? Raise your hand at all of our campuses. You've never been.

and God bless you, no problem. And I've checked to Jesus. He's totally cool with that. You don't
