Well, today we are wrapping up our series that we've been
calling from here to there. And we've been talking about
specifically moving our money in our heart from where we are to
greater significance and peace and really looking on at our
lives and saying in faith, wherever we are, God, we want to
be where you're calling us to wherever, wherever our here is
God, you have a there and we've been taking a lot of ground in
the series. So if you've missed anything, be
sure to go back catch up on YouTube because we've been been
hearing testimonies about how God is moving in individual's
hearts. Yeah, and as you can tell,
Pastor Sarah and I are team teaching today.
And the reason why is because we want to talk about the there
everyone say there there that God has next for us as a church.
Because, you know, you hear us say it often that our purpose
around here is that we exist as a church.
We exist. We exist to lead people to
become fully engaged followers of Jesus.
And can I just tell you, we're committed to that.
We're going to keep doing that across Southwest Florida, across
our nation, around the world, Cape Coral, we're going to keep
doing that in Cape Coral. We're going to keep reaching the
lost and the hurting and the broken ones downtown.
We're going to keep doing that. We're going to keep reaching the
next generation of children and young people.
We're going to change the city from the inside out.
East family. We're going to keep doing that
in Lehigh. We're going to keep doing that.
In the neighborhoods of Gateway and Alva and Buckingham, We're
going to do it. Fort Myers location, we're going
to keep doing that. Gods called us to Southwest
Florida, We're going to do this. So of course, we've been talking
about finances and how we move our finances, as you just said,
Babe, to significance and peace. And so financially, it's the
tithe. When we return the first fruits,
the Bible says the first of our increase to the church, the
storehouse where we're fed. It's the tithe that allows us to
do that here locally. And we like to say that the
tithe keeps the church alive, but we also have what Pastor Rob
talked about last weekend, which is Kingdom builders.
Everybody say Kingdom builders and see, see Kingdom builders
allows us to keep advancing the Kingdom of God through above and
beyond giving and generosity. And our Kingdom builders here at
Next Level Church focuses on 4 strategic initiatives reaching
the lost. And so we have ministry partners
around the world, around the nation that are reaching lost
people. And it is awesome.
We have ministry partners that that are equipping the church.
I think about our relational network that we oversee and run
our that was in town this week that we were just celebrating.
We have over 2. We reached it.
We're over 200 churches now. 202.
Churches, 202 churches, that's amazing.
What a milestone. And we're equipping the church.
We're empowering the next generation.
I think about our student conference every summer that
gets underwritten by our Kingdom builders, giving and generosity.
And we bring healing to the hurting.
And we partner with ministries around the world that are
bringing healing to the hurting, rescuing young girls, young boys
from from from human slavery, sex trafficking around the
world. We have ministry partners that
are doing this. So when we tithe, we keep the
local church alive. And when we give above and
beyond to Kingdom builders, it helps us fuel all of these
things for the Kingdom. And so if you're taking notes
today, the title of this message that God has given us is an
opportunity for significance, that we believe that we are
positioned for an opportunity for significance.
And each one of us have a part to play in that significance and
in that impact that he has called us to to make and to
continue to feel forward. So let's pray.
Father, we thank you, Jesus. What an opportunity you gave us.
We thank you, God, even as we received communion today, we're
just reminded Jesus of the sacrifice you gave to give us
all significance. What an opportunity.
And so, Father, I pray that as we share today, God, that ears
would be open to hear what you, Holy Spirit are saying to the
church. God, we just say today, we're
listening, we're listening, we're leaning in.
God, we want to hear your voice above all.
And everyone who agreed with that prayer said Amen.
Well, it's hard to believe that it was 24 years ago this week
that we had our first Bible study as Next Level church.
And my goodness, when we reflect on all that the Lord has done
over 24 years, we actually kind of want to do that today.
We actually want to we want to talk about our there the next
there that God's called us to, but we also want to kind of go
back and and and take all of us on a little bit of the journey
of next level church. And as all of you know, we have
a vision to reach all of Southwest Florida.
And the way we do that is we use a multi site strategy to
accomplish that around here. We like to say we are one house
with. Come on, stay with me.
We're one house with. Many.
Rooms, yes. And so you hear us say often
right now there's a whole bunch of us worshiping Jesus all
across Southwest Florida. And so we have our four
locations. And so if you're sitting inside
of one of those locations right now, you know right where you
are. OK, so, so that's the outside of
our locations. But let me show you what it
looks like on the inside. Because again, as you know, one
of the methods, one of the tools, the mediums that we use
is video teaching. And we use video.
So teaching as a tool to allow us to reach more people than we
ever could in just one location. So, so I was thinking about it
this week, We have 10 services across our four locations now as
a church, every single Sunday we we have 10 services and at least
every Sunday, at least seven of those services are video, our,
our video teaching. And it's, it's a medium that
allows us to multiply. So here's what that means.
That means that there's a whole, a lot more people that are
watching us on video right now then are watching us in person.
And so we just thank God for the ability for us to be one house
with many rooms. I was thinking about it that we
have families that live in Northwest Cape Coral and if
that's you, you know, you know who you are and, and it's
beautiful out there. Like there's a whole lot of
development going on in Northwest Cape Coral.
It's awesome. But I was thinking this week we
also have families that live in East Lehigh.
So think about it. Those families live like 2
hours, especially this time of year with traffic 2 hours apart.
But they're all a part of the same church, isn't that?
Aren't you thankful that you don't have to drive 2 hours to
be a part of what God's doing at next level church?
That's the power of a multi site strategy.
It's amazing, beautiful, it's amazing, and you know this, this
is incredible to think about. 10 services for locations, all of
that video technology, It did not start this way.
Come on. You just need to know that this
has been a faith journey with miracle stories every single
step of the way. We started Portable on May 11th,
2000, 1002 or sorry, May 12th. My son was born on May 11th.
So I merged those dates together, May 12th, 2002, and we
had 35 people in the bell tower. Anybody remember what the Bell
Tower used to look like? Yeah, We were in the Bell Tower
movie theater for four years. We had 35 people on that first
Sunday. We had 19 on the second.
How many know from here to there?
That is the wrong direction. That's like, but we didn't give
up. God was just so faithful to us
through those beginning years. And then we moved to South Fort
Myers High School and we were portable in South Fort Myers
High School for another five years.
Miracle Stories started serving our city in those years, and God
just continued to allow the church to grow.
And then it was 15 years ago next month, April of 2011 that
we moved into our first permanent location, what we call
now our Fort Myers. OK, look at that.
That's what it looked like back in the day.
Look. At the little bitty trees.
And so that was 15 years ago. It's hard to believe.
And then three years later in 2014, we bought land and built
our E location launched that March of 2014, which was
incredible, built from the ground up and God has been
moving east of I-75 for over a decade now.
And then in 2016, we launched our Coconut Point movie theater
location. Some of you may know that we had
a movie theater location there and then due to the hurricane
that ripped off the roof there, we called that our Bonita
Springs location because we had to move to another location and
God just moved there. We did end up closing that
location in 2020 right before the pandemic.
And and yet so many of you, your story began by meeting Jesus
through that location. So then in 2018-2019, we had a
church lighthouse fellowship in Cape Coral that was given to US.
And so then the pandemic slowed down construction.
But in 2021, five years ago, come on, Cape Coral, we launched
our Cape Coral location. And yeah, that's awesome.
And next Sunday, Cape Coral family, we're coming to party.
March the 8th next week, we are going to be partying to
celebrate our five years of Cape Coral.
And then a lot of, you know, fall of 2024, we launched our
downtown location. And what God is doing and has
done downtown is simply miraculous.
And so that's a little of a story.
So, so rewind back to 2018-2019. God gave us the opportunity as a
church to purchase 10 more acres of land here at our Fort Myers
location. That gives us a total of 20
acres. Yes.
So there's the present Fort Myers location and then that's
the ten extra acres that God gave us.
And we were able to pay cash for that in 2019.
And so God gave us a vision at that time to build a large
auditorium that gives us the ability to grow at our Fort
Myers location, as well as a facility large enough to
accommodate all of the of the events that we can come together
like student conference or like network events like we just had
this week or beautiful conference.
Like, like we need a facility to do that.
It was also during that time that the Holy Spirit spoke to us
that we weren't supposed to build a large auditorium right
away, but we were actually supposed to launch Cape Coral
and downtown first. Like we had a word from God that
we were supposed to launch Cape Coral and downtown 1st.
And can we tell you like to most church consultants or like
church growth, you know, strategist, that makes no sense.
They literally they would tell us like you need to build a
large auditorium first. But we knew we knew we had heard
from God. So listen, if you're sitting
right now in a Cape Coral or downtown location, look at each
other. Come on, look around the room
for a second. Cape Coral and downtown,
literally thousands of lives have been impacted because of
how the Holy Spirit spoke to us to to not build the building
first, but to to launch Cape Coral in downtown.
Which by the way, church, This is why it matters that as Christ
followers we are praying and we are seeking the voice of God and
we are listening to the Holy Spirit because we have to obey
God in every area of our life and worldly knowledge is not the
same as godly wisdom. Say it.
Let me say that again, worldly knowledge is not the same as
godly wisdom. So often times what makes sense
to us or what somebody, what makes sense to somebody else, or
this is the way it's always done.
If we will pause and say, God, I don't want to just go through
the motions. I don't want to assume that what
they're saying is what I'm supposed to do.
No, God, I want to hear from you.
I need your wisdom. I need it more than godly
wisdom. Like that is, that's what
happens. So we launched downtown in
October of 2024, and then five months later we began the next
steps to expand Fort Myers because God has said Cape Coral.
Then downtown, then you can begin to expand.
So we started to take those steps for the Fort Myers
expansion. And that was when we found out
that FedEx on Metro Parkway, which is right behind the land
that we already owned, who had been there for 14 years, had
just moved out and that building was empty for the first time.
Oh my goodness. So yes, this is that building,
this is the inside, this is what it looks like, and here's what I
want us to understand. Church family.
This is what God had in mind. This is what he was doing when
he told us eight years ago that we were not supposed to build
this first. He had Cape Coral in mind, He
had downtown in mind, but he also knew that this building
would get empty and it was going to be key to the expansion that
God had for us on this property. And this is what happens when
you hear the voice of God. You obey him and you follow Him.
This timing is always perfect. So, so let us explain why this
matters that see, in order for us to develop and build a larger
auditorium here at our Fort Myers location that allows us to
serve honestly, about 2000 people per service will be able
to serve on a weekend. On Sunday, we're going to need
another way off of the property. And so this building gives us 2
lanes in and two lanes out that connect to the land we already
own. There's a little, there's a
rendering of it. You can kind of start to see it.
OK, so Metro Parkway is down there and then our churches up
there, we'll we'll zoom out here in a second, but but this
building gives us that as well as a 31,000 square foot building
that's essential for us to have before we build the larger
auditorium. So if you're new to next level,
if you're a snowbird, this is kind of the first time you're
here in any of this. We want you to know last
November, we told the church at Christmas last November, we went
under contract to purchase this building.
Come on, somebody so awesome. So we're scheduled to close in
just 30 days. Yeah, yes.
So which is exciting. So we've been working with a
church design specialist on what the potential for the entire
property could look like. So check this out.
So this first picture is from Metro Parkway.
So again, this is Metro Parkway. This is the FedEx building.
And just follow those two roads. That would be a new parking lot
that we would build. That would be a new building
that we would build. The blue roof building is our
current building. Let's flip it around and look at
it from Plantation Rd. Now you see, right?
OK, so from Plantation Rd. this will become a new kids and
student building. We will renovate that for just
kids and students. We could build a brand new
auditorium, 600 more parking spaces that then leads to that
Metro Parkway building. Isn't that exciting?
So a couple months ago in January, during 21 days of
prayer and fasting, I woke up 1 morning and I felt the Lord say,
Matt, it's time to take, it's time to take possession of the
land. It's time to take possession of
the land. And I knew that was scripture.
So I got up and I went to my grey chair in my office at the
house and, and, and I started to pray and I looked up Deuteronomy
chapter 1, which is where God tells Moses and the children of
Israel after 40 years of wandering the exact same thing.
I want, I want you to see this because I believe this is a word
for our church in this season. Deuteronomy chapter one verse 8
says this God speaking to Moses, See I have set the land before
you go in and take possession. I want to say take possession.
Go in and take possession of the land that the Lord swore to your
father's. Then look at this part to
Abraham, to Isaac and to Jacob. Do you see the multiple
generations here to give to them and their offspring after them?
So what's happening here? God is speaking to Moses, saying
Moses, you've been wandering for a long time.
You've been where you are for a long, long time.
It's time to go in and take possession of the land that I
promised your ancestors generations ago.
I promised this land to them and it's a multi generational
covenant promise and church family.
We believe this is a generational project that
positions our church to impact Southwest Florida, our nation
and the world for generations to come.
We believe it. So if you if you back up five
verses to verse three, you see where God gives Moses this word.
I want to show you look at verse 3 says in the 40th year.
So they've been wandering for 40 years.
On the first day of the 11th month, Moses spoke to the people
of Israel, according to look at this part, all that the Lord had
given him in commandment to them.
In other words, what was Moses doing?
Moses was essentially the pastor of the church back then, right?
The children of Israel, God was. God gave Moses a word.
Moses spoke that word to the people and said this is what God
wants. This is the direction we need to
go. And church family, we believe
God's given us a word for the future of our church.
We believe God's given us in the same way God's given us a word
for the future of our church. This is our next step.
This is our, this is our next there.
It won't say there. God wants to take us from here
to there. And the word is take possession
of the land, take possession of the land.
And we were on sabbatical for 50 days in August and September of
last year. I was praying one morning and I
was journaling and I felt the Holy Spirit just speaks so
loudly to my heart. And the Lord said, Matt, get
FedEx like church. I heard the Holy Spirit say we
need this building. This is our next step, get
FedEx. And when we came home, when we
got off sabbatical, come on, Pastor Charles, when we got, it
was a, it was a war, it was work, but we had a word from God
and it took us a few months to negotiate that thing.
But God was good and God is kind and gracious.
And so we went under contract. And as you just said, we're
scheduled to close church family on March 31st in 30 days.
Let's go, let's go. I love this all right.
Look at verse 6. The Lord our God said to us in
Horeb, you have stayed long enough at this mountain.
Anybody in your life ever been in the same place?
And all of a sudden God's like it is long enough to move like
long enough. Been there long enough.
He says you've stayed long enough at this mountain.
Turn and take your journey. Church family, we believe it's
time to turn and take this journey.
This is the next phase of the vision of Next Level Church.
So let us just slow down because this is a $12 million prize
project. We'll just wait for the gasp or
the gulp, whatever response we might have.
It's easy for God. But half of that I just, we just
want you to know, half of that is the purchase price.
Come on. So this is prime real estate off
of Metro Parkway in a building that exists, but it does need
renovated, built out, and this won't be a church building.
So some people have said so is this another location?
Are we having church in there? So we will not have Sunday
services in there, but it positions us to have a larger
church on this property and to serve all of our present
locations and our future, our future locations.
We believe again, for generations to come.
We actually had someone look at us and they said, wow, you guys
are already getting old and you're still like moving forward
and building all of this. First of all, thank you very
much. I think I look great anyway.
Say it girl, girl, you do look great.
You were talking about how everyone's watching us on video.
I'm like just so you know, the video does add 10 lbs that looks
better in person but. That needs to be said.
Video ads, yes. So we expect when we see you in
persons for you to say you're skinnier in person and younger,
younger. How much younger?
But I thought it it was awesome. They looked at us like, wow,
you're getting old and you still have vision.
We're like, right, Because this isn't about us.
This is about the generations that are to come.
There is more people who need reach.
There are generations that we believe are going to be reached
through this. So so here's what this Metro
Parkway building does for us. It gives us, as we've been
saying, it gives us access to Metro Parkway, which is a major
5 lane Rd. in our that goes all the way South to Estero, all the
way N to downtown Fort Myers. It gives us a new video and
production studio things like freedom curriculum videos,
podcasts, all of these ways that resources to the nation's will
be able to create there and some of you're like well how do we do
it now Well we're. Renting an Airbnb?
Yeah for yeah for freedom. We had to rent an Airbnb but but
honestly, our presence studio is like a 10 by 15 little X office
room in our trailers Outback. And we're not ungrateful, but we
have replaced the floor twice because it rots in Florida and
it's literally we'll come into the studio sometimes and there's
giant green red tape X's that we tape over holes and it's like
don't stand there because you'll fall.
You'll literally fall through the.
Floor, our staff can tell you absolutely, US women, we're not
allowed to wear heels because we will fall through the floor.
So we are not ungrateful. But those trailers will not last
forever, although they have lasted through several
hurricanes and we're very thankful for that.
It will also give U.S. central offices.
So all of our central staff will be able to office out of there.
We'll be able to resource and serve all of our locations even
better, in addition to a distribution center.
So because this was a FedEx distribution center, now we're
going to be able to distribute to the nations from this place.
But it's got the garage door, it's already built in.
And so we are so excited about that.
We're going to be able to serve our cities even better because
we're going to be able to keep things on hand like we never
have before, and we're going to be able to be positioned to
serve after a crisis like never before.
Food, water. Just immediately we'll have the
distribution ready for. Maybe the thing I'm most excited
about we're going to be able to house our SU at NLC Ministry
Leadership Program in there. Listen to this church.
We're going to be able to have 80 students trained students, 80
students a year through our SCU. Matter of fact, one of the
rendering pictures they gave us is a picture of what that could
look like. So they're they'll students will
have their own entrance. There'll be a whole section of
the building that'll just be for ministry training students, this
outdoor area where they'll be able to to sit with their
laptops and do homework. We're so I think we have a
rendering of just the building. There you go.
That's like from metro what it could look like.
So church family, it's happening, it's time.
It's time to take and we'll say take possession.
So here's what this means for for all of us as a whole church.
This is our next there and now is the time.
So let us explain financially how we get from here to there.
So Kingdom Builders, as most of you know, but we just want to
slow down for all of us. Kingdom Builders is our one
fund. It's a one fund where we give
above and beyond our ties and our offerings and that allows us
to fuel forward the vision of the church locally, nationally
and globally. So our goal for 2026 for Kingdom
Builders is to raise $4 million, which that 4 million will fuel
forward all of our partners, all of our initiatives, all of our
missionaries, things like student conference, our network,
all of the things that we are able to do with compassion and
one hope and Bibles and everything will be within that
as well as then 2.5 million that we'll be able to dedicate that
will go toward this metro project this year.
So let us so show you a strategy for the whole 12 million and how
we we feel like we can get there.
So we'll actually we'll kind of move out of the way.
So it's a $12 million project. And so at the by the end of last
year because of your generosity, we have already, we saw over a
half million dollars come in already, which is how you.
Celebrate that. So then the the first real
milestone as we mentioned is March 31st, March 31st.
So in order for us to close and purchase the building, we need
to to raise at least $1,000,000. But let me say this, last week
as we were casting this vision to some leaders in our church,
we had a couple come forward and they said to us, Pastor Matt and
Sarah, here's what we feel LED in the spirit to do.
We want to to provide a matching fund through the month of March
between now and the close closing of the building to
purchase a matching fund that for every dollar that's given,
dollar for dollar, one to one, we want to match up to
$1,000,000 that's given this month.
Come on church family, let's go, let's go.
What could God do? What could God do?
So that's the first one is March 30.
First, yeah. So everything that you give,
just think it's twice. It's just doubling.
It's literally doubling when you're giving it.
So that first benchmark, March 31st, 1,000,000, the second
benchmark then will be December 31st by the end of this year to
raise another 1.5 million. Then in all of 2027 to raise
another 2.5 million. That then leaves this gap and
you can see where the orange line is.
That is a $7,000,000 loan. Now great news is we have
already secured with our partner Wesleyan Investment Foundation
alone to be able to finish this project.
They've already said they will give us $7,000,000 to finish
this out, which is incredible. But we have a faith goal.
Come on, they all 12 million could be debt free in Jesus
name. So that's our real faith goal
because again like you said, this is easy for God.
And so, and This is why this matters.
The faster we fund this first part of the project, the sooner
we can move on to Phase 2, which is the new auditorium in the
parking and finishing out the entire property.
As a matter of fact, I think we have that aerial view.
Yeah. So this kind of would show.
Plantation. That's Metro.
So the faster God supplies for this phase, the quicker we can
move on to this phase and see more and more people say yes to
Jesus and dedicate their lives and see the greater impact that
God has for us as. So God spoke to Moses and said,
take possession of the land. It's time to go in.
It's time to take possession. And through Joshua, they did.
God moved them into a whole new season, into a whole new place
and church. We believe that's the season we
find ourselves in now as well. So what does that look like?
What, what are what are the next steps for all of us?
Well, for some of you, as we've been talking through the weeks
of the series, some of you, your next step is to get into the my
God, my money class and really start to get a handle on your
personal finances. Some of us it's to get out of
debt and to to live on a budget. Stay focused on that.
Some of us, it's to begin and to tithe, to begin to put God first
in your finances. For others of us, it's above and
beyond giving to to giving to Kingdom builders, which fuels
forward all of our initiatives, including this project.
And this is for all of us, whether you're a teenager,
whether you're retired, a business person.
This is what Pastor Rob was talking about last week, that we
can have a plan, we can have a vision, we can have a dream.
We can work that plan. We can say, all right, God,
what's already in my my hands? What have you already put in my
hands? What are some things maybe we
could sell or get creative on to say I want to be a part of the
Kingdom. What is in my hands and what is
the plan and then write the vision down.
What's in God's hands? What does he have he owns at
all. Oh God, would you take what's in
your hands? Put it in my hand and if you do
God, I won't use it for me. I will fuel forward the Kingdom.
And then what is the dream? What is the dream?
What can we hold on to in our heart that say, Oh God, in a
radical kind of generosity way, how could I make a Kingdom
impact? How could I give meaning to my
money? We can have a plan and a vision
and a dream and we can each go from here to there because this
is what Jesus said that we each should do when he looked at his
disciples and gave us all the Great Commission found in
Matthew 2819. Jesus says, therefore go and
make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of
the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.
And he gave this to all of us as our Commission, to say you need
to go from here to there, you need to go and you need to
continue to make disciples. So there's a young man in our
church named Jayden Humphries. And Jayden was high school
student in Cape Coral and was lost and discouraged, depressed.
His life revolved around football.
This Yeah, this is Jayden. He was on the news earlier
today, and he's one of our SEU and NLC students.
We took a picture of him this week.
And Jayden got invited to the first service of our Cape Coral
location five years ago. And in those early weeks of
coming to Cape Coral, Jayden surrendered his life to Jesus.
He said yes. He raised his hand to Jesus and
God radically transformed his Yeah, he got baptized the next
Sunday. He's in his pictures of his
baptism last night. And he wanted to go play college
football. And the Holy Spirit interrupted
his plans and said, I've called you into ministry.
And for the last four years he has been in our SEU at NLC
ministry training program and he graduates in in two months.
He graduates and guess what? He's ready.
He's ready to multiply the gospel.
He's ready to reach more Jaden's in his generation.
He's ready. He's ready.
And I think about when I think about what God's called us to
this mountain he's called us to climb, this land he's called us
to take possession of, I think to myself, how many more Jaden's
like how many more hundreds, literally church, how many more
thousands of Jaden's are across Southwest Florida from Northwest
Cape to East Lehigh to South Naples to porch truck,
everywhere in between. This is the territory God's
given to us. This is the land.
And he said, let's reach you. This is our next.
This is our there that God's called us to as a church.
So we're going to go from here to there and we all have a part
to play in that significance. But maybe you're here today in
one of our locations are online and you would say you're more
like Jayden. All of those years ago, someone
invited you. You ended up here.
Maybe you've been battling depression or feel lonely or
lost or like, what does what meaning does my life have?
Does it even have significance? We believe that maybe right now
you're here is that you're separated from God because you
don't know Jesus as your Savior. But the good news is you don't
have to stay here. You can go there.
You can have life abundant here on earth.
You can know that heaven is your home because God loves you.
He sent his Son Jesus to die on the cross.
That's what we were doing when we were taking communion, just
celebrating that. And he did that for you.
And we want to give you an opportunity to say yes to Jesus.
So with every eye closed and every head bowed, let's just
just invite the Holy Spirit into this moment.
And if, if that's you, you don't know Jesus as your savior, you
can today, it's as simple as admitting that you're a Sinner
and, and knowing that Jesus died for your sins and wanting to
place your life and follow him. So if that's you and you want to
say yes to Jesus today, I just want to, we want to pray for
you. So you can do that.
Whether you're online, you can put it in the chat, but in this
room, we're going to have you raise your hand on the count of
three. Just raise it up really high so
I can know who we're praying for on the count of three, just say
that's me. I want to know Jesus as my
savior. 123, Just raise it up really high.
I see that hand. I see those hands at our
locations. Just go ahead and raise those
hands. I see that hand.
Anyone else online, you can put
it in the chat. Say that's me.
I want to say yes to Jesus. Take that hand that you just
raised and place it on your heart.
Let's make this personal. Jesus, we thank you and we
believe Jesus, that you died on the cross for our sin.
We admit today that we are a Sinner.
We've messed up and we do feel separated from you.
But God, today we turn and we say we want to follow you.
Would you place us in the family of God?
Would you change our life? Would you send the Holy Spirit?
We surrender our life to you today and we want to follow you
for the rest of our life. We pray in Jesus name, Amen.
Amen. Hey, many people just said yes
to Jesus. Can we come right now?
That never gets old. Never get thank.
You Lord. If that was you, we want to help
you. We have a free Bible we want to
put in your hands. So before you leave, we want to
put this in your hands. When you leave the property,
you'll be able to find the connection stent to say, hey,
can I get that Bible or hey, I just said yes, we want to
celebrate that and give you some next steps in the best decision
that you in your Amen. Amen.
Isn't it good to be in the House of God?
You know what? We're not done yet.
Let's stand up. Everybody come on.
Every location. Let's stand to our feet.
Whoo. God's got it there.
Somebody say there and it's not here.
We're going somewhere. God's taking us somewhere.
The team, I want us to sing.
Come on, let's sing. That I trust.
See God every location. God, trust God.
And I trust in God, my Savior, the one who will never fail all.
We think. Maybe you've come in today to
one of our locations and there's there's a need that's staring
you down. I just feel in my spirits to
pray that faith would rise up in your heart today.
Father, you see across each room, Lord, you see and you know
right where each one of us are. God, you see marriages, Lord,
they feel like they're on shaky ground.
God, would you move in those marriages?
God, you see where people are feeling insecure about their job
and, and maybe someone you just lost your job and in Jesus name,
God, I pray you would supply a new job, you would open a new
door, you would give them faith, you would let faith rise up in
our hearts. God give us wisdom.
Father, you see what's going on, Lord in a health issue and we
pray healing in Jesus name, Holy Spirit, we pray your power, your
blessing, God, your provision, Lord Jesus across your sons and
daughters today. God, we don't put our eyes on
the wind in ways we put our eyes on you.
I trust in God. Lord, we seek you and you
answer. Come on, let's sing that out.
I saw the Lord. Why?
I trust Him, That's why I trust Him.
I saw the Lord and he heard, and he answered, and I saw the Lord,
and he heard, and he answered, and I saw the Lord, and he heard
and he answered. That's why I trust Him.
That's why I trust in God my Savior, the One you will never
pray, you will never pray. You not trusting God you must
sing. God, you will never pray.
We thank you God, we thank you for the vision that you have put
before us. I just like you did with the
people of Israel when you said turn.
Take this journey God in every area of our lives.
I pray God, we would hear your voice, not the not the worldly
knowledge, but your wisdom. God give us wisdom.
Father, you see God, the future of our church.
God, you see this 12 million, we were laughing and saying it's
easy, but God it is, it's easy for you.
So God, would you allow us to be a part of it?
God, would you give us steps of obedience?
God, would you give us faith? God to, to have the plan, Lord
Jesus to write that vision down to start to dream about how we
could be a part of the significance.
And God, we pray for the next generation.
God, we pray for the nation. Lord Jesus, we thank you God,
that you are the God of generations.
You are the God of the nations. And so, Father, would you
continue to allow us, God, to advance and be a part God of
your church. You said in your word that you
would build your church and the gates of hell would not prevail.
So God, we are thankful to be a part of that today.
We pray all of this and I pray blessing and favor over your
people today. And everyone agreed, said Amen.
