Amen. How are we doing, church? Do we all right? Good. If you got your Bibles, I hope you do, go to Matthew

Chapter 16, Matthew Chapter 16, as we continue in this series called Ecclesia. And before we get into it,

how's the Daniel Fast going for you? Yeah, me too, all right. So if you weren't here Tuesday for elder-led

prayer, let me encourage you to hop on the Daniel fast train that we are all on. For those of you

that are fasting, the sermon's just going to be better for you. And you're going to be like, wow,

he is on it today. And in Amy, what's going on is you're kind of cultivating the soil of your soul and the seed that lands on good soil produces a crop.

And so if you want the ceremonies to get better over the next few weeks, just join in with us on the Daniel fast.

Hey, if you ever go to Israel, which about 100 people are with me in next February, we were going to cap it at 50.

Then we opened it up, and 100 people signed up by the first day at lunch.

And so, anyway, we're getting another bus,

taking about 100 people.

There might be room for, like, one more.

So if you're that one more, come on.

And here's what happens when you get back from Israel.

Everybody asks, so what was the best?

Like, what was the best part of your trip? And you always have to answer the empty tomb.

That's just the answer.

Because if there's no empty tomb, there's no reason to go to Israel.

The whole thing falls apart.

And I'll tell you, when I was at the empty tomb, it was legit, okay?

It's about, I don't know, 600 yards or so away from Galgotho where Jesus was crucified.

That's crazy.
