Amen and amen. Hey, if you got your Bibles, I hope you do, First Timothy 6 is where we're

going to be in your journal. It's page 67 if you want to go there. I know all of our campus

pastors just honored all the veterans, but I want to say happy Veterans Day weekend. And to all

of our veterans personally, from me, this dude, I want to say thank you

because you are willing to stand on that wall and stand in the gap, people like me get to share

the gospel without fear of people coming to get us. Amen? Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you.

Hey, it's huge weekend. Biggest weekend we've ever had, biggest thing we've ever done.

It is commitment weekend. And I just want to warn you, I was, I'd be kind of fighting the cold

all week, and then it hit today hard, as it would. So I'm going to put a couple cough drops up

here. And a part of the reason I do this one time I was preaching. And I said, who in the world would dip at church? So I'm not.

It's just a cough drop. So if I hack my way through it, just pray about that for me. Okay?

Hey, I'm reminded of the very first time I ever preached here in what used to be the Hobby Lobby.

It was four years ago, maybe a little bit more than that,

and we were about to do the One Initiative, and this was just a leftover Hobby Lobby at that point,

and it was in the One Initiative that we built this out and launched a bunch of campuses.

And as I got ready to come over here and preach, one of the things we were doing in the One Initiative

is we were rolling out our special needs ministry.

And one of my guys, man, a dear friend of my name Henry, Henry is one of our VIPs in our special needs ministry.

And I saw him and he serves here in a whole bunch of different capacities.

And I walked up to him and I said, Henry, will you pray for me?

Because I was about to preach. And he goes, what do I pray about? And I said, Henry, will you pray for me? Because I was about to preach.

And he goes, what do I pray about? And I said, buddy, I'm a little, I'm a little bit nervous. And so he put his hand on my shoulder.
