We're in this, this is our Christmas series. It's called Love That Sticks. I hope you're writing your little sticky notes of encouragement all over the place.

We're going to dig in Acts chapter 24. It feels like Christmas to our staff right now because we on Friday, we all, us and a bunch of volunteers came in and our offices are ready in from the restore project. And so I'm the only one that's had an office throughout the whole restore project.

But everybody else has been working out of their book bags,

but they were able to move all of their stuff, all of our staff, move all of their stuff into their offices.

And so they are stoked about that.

So if they look a little extra awesome today, that's why.

Also, speaking of Restore, I need to ask you a huge favor.

In the middle of January, we will open up our, we have another worship space right back here in the

Restore Project. This wall is going to go down and there's going to be a hallway right there.

And just one day when you show up the church, it'll be there. It's's kind of cool and if you look around the room all right it's we're kind

of full we're there's a lot of people here and it's a home game and we win now so you know imagine

what will be like in january so last year in january what happened is we just overnight in january

we grew by a thousand and our staff was going well what are we

going to do and I said oh in my incredible leadership said don't worry about it it's like the gym they'll

all quit going to church in just a little while but that's not true everybody stayed we grew by a thousand

everybody stayed and in fact we grew by another 500 over the summer so if we grow by another

thousand this January look around we can't fit them all in here. So I need about 200 of you

on Sunday mornings at 1122 to start worshiping in the sanctuary. It'll be a live band and a screen

comes down in the middle of the stage and it'll be me. This sermon there, but I'll be six feet tall.

How cool is that? I know you don't care, but it's a big day for me.

First time I ever get to be six feet tall. I might go watch me in there. Okay, that's how cool it's

going to be. So, especially if you have kids in New Gen, it'll be super easy for you to drop your kids off,
