Amen. Good morning, church. If you got your Bibles, and I hope you do grab them. We're going to be in Acts Chapter 15. As you're turning there, I just want to reiterate some of what Pastor Ben said. That video was to all of us as a church. I know my name was mentioned a lot, but we hadn't quite planted yet. And we're going to do, I hope, as a church, what Pastor Mark

Driscoll just said, and keep it all about Jesus. Jesus is our hero. No senior pastor or lead pastor

is our hero. No church name is our hero. No logo or brand is our hero. And what we wanted you to

hear, though, is that that video was recorded last year in August and September.

And when you have people like Pastor Mark Driscoll say about you, about our church that you're going

to grow, I counted it this time, very, very, very fast. He was very, very, very right, wasn't he?

And so he is, he might be a prophet of God, and that's why God's blessing his church so much. And you need to also know, I know some of you are like, who are those guys?

I don't know who those guys are.

And I understand.

But we have a crush on all those churches.

Okay, that's how that goes.

These, it would be like, I don't know who the guy is in your industry, but that's the guy.

Those are the dudes, all right? And it's like if you started a little computer shop in a strip mall and

Bill Gates sent you a video, you'd be like, what? That's what happened to us. And so the elders

played that for us as a staff the day before, or the Thursday before we launched. And we just

wanted to show that to you. And it also just sets up what we're talking about today.

So grab your Bible's Acts 15, beginning in verse 19.

I'm going to pick that verse up.

That's what we started last week.

Therefore, my judgment is that we should not trouble those of the Gentiles who turn to God.

Last week, we rolled out the Restore Project.

If you weren't here, then you were the only one because there was a lot of people here.
