Amen, amen. You ready for church? You ready to do this? I hope so. Hey, we are in the whatever week we are in on the Bridges series, and we are on the last day of Saturated. Anybody come to Saturated? Were you here for any of it? Praise God.

And what we've been talking about in our bridges series is the fact that that Jesus

builds this bridge and what we're going to spend our time on today, I'm going to attempt to

preach for 30 minutes, okay? These people laugh at me. Whatever, okay? Because the idea is that

God has done amazing things in us and through us and to us in the last five days of saturated, but it's not supposed to terminate on us.

That we are not to be a cul-de-sac of the mercy and the gospel and the grace of God, but we are to be conduits, and God wants to use us to

build a bridge to the very ends of the earth. If you got your Bible's Matthew chapter 28.

If you've been around Bible study for a while, you know this. This is the Great Commission.

And it says this, Matthew 2816.

By the way, I want to thank the dozens of you that gave me readers after I mentioned it was my birthday last week, and I can't see that good.

But look, I still got this far to go before I need them, okay?

I'm still in the game.

Matthew 2816 says now, the 11 disciples went to Galilee to the mountain to which Jesus had directed them and when they saw him they worshipped him but some doubted and

Jesus came and said to them all authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of

the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded

you and behold, I am with you always to the ends of the age.

And so for the last five days, we have been hopefully saturated in the good news of the gospel of Jesus Christ.

And the way that we want to end our time together is in about 30 minutes or so.

If you have never been baptized, these baptism tubs have been warming up for five days.

It's like Krispy Kreme.

They are hot and ready for you.

And you'll remember that 21 days ago, we gathered together and the elders called us to a 21-day Daniel fast.
