Amen and amen. How we do with church? You better get ready. I'm all pumped up from last week. I only got to preach once last week. So I hope you are ready. I have been excited to share this message. John chapter four, better listen fast. We've got a lot to go through. John chapter four. We are at the end of this bridges series. So if you got here late,

it's all right, okay? The message will kind of stand on its own. But what we've been studying

for the last seven weeks is that Jesus is the ultimate and eternal bridge builder that ultimately

he built a bridge from heaven to earth. And then when he got here, he built all kind of bridges.

He crossed socioeconomic boundaries and racial boundaries and theological boundaries and all of that.

And in our time together, we're going to talk about him bridging culture.

Just like a minute ago. Okay. So, so Jesus builds this cultural bridge and honestly, right

before I came out as I was praying about this, man, our country right now is a mess in regards to this cultural divide, this ethnic divide, this racial divide.

And it seems like it's getting worse and worse and worse and worse, not better and better and better.

And what we're going to find in this text is that Jesus is the only answer to bring us together. Amen? And so let's just dive right

in. John chapter 4. It says now when Jesus learned that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus

was making and baptizing more disciples than John, although Jesus himself did not baptize but only

his disciples. So note to self,

when you get baptized here, it doesn't matter who dunks you, because you ain't getting done dunked

in my name, you're getting dunked in the name of the Father of the Son and Holy Spirit. Amen?

By the way, just last week, ass saturated. At all of our campuses, on Sunday, we baptized

150 people. Amen. And on Wednesday night at our Baker campus, we baptized 150 people amen and on Wednesday night at our Baker campus we

baptized an additional 67 brothers I was talking to the assistant warden he's been there
