I am Part of God’s Plan

Hey, well, we are in our Immeasurably More season here. We've got this Sunday and next Sunday left in this series that has been building our faith, believing God for more. It comes from Ephesians chapter three, verse 20, which says, now to him who is able to do immeasurably what? Oh, come on, help me, at all of our campuses, all those in overflow, he's able to do immeasurably what? He's able to do more than we can ask or imagine according to his power that is at work within us, and that's what we've been believing for in this series, that you experience more of God in your life, that we say there's more that God wants to do through your life, and I told you that there's more that God wants to do through our church, and we rolled out six major projects that we're taking on. This is vision that God's given us to impact the Tampa Bay area. These things are bigger than we can ask or imagine, but it's a dream from God that he's given us. One of them is our new South Tampa location, and I'm so pumped about that, and we've been praying for this for 12 years, and so we're all behind that, and we've been praying for it, so we're gonna give towards it, and I just wanna say this and set the tone, because today is our Pledge Sunday, so at the end of the service, we're gonna have a unique end of the service time of worship where we'll fill out these cards,

and then we're gonna give them to the Lord, and this is not actually giving, this is just our pledge over the next two years of what God can do in and through our life over and above our giving, and this just helps us as a church prepare. I'm believing we're going in all these projects. We're not gonna be able to do any of this where I could have to take debt on, hopefully, for these projects, but that includes getting everybody involved, so thank you. I've told you to pray about it for the last month. Thank you for prayerfully being a part of it, and then we'll do that, and then next Sunday will be our very first gift. That'll be our vision offering. That's normally what we do our Legacy Sunday. We're not doing that this year. We're gonna do it in November, and let me just give you a little behind-the-scenes report of what God is doing. We are hoping to close on our new South Tampa building by the end of the year, but we also are finishing up our Hillsboro location, which will open in two weeks, and then we also have our South Shore location, which is opening in January, and we've kind of done all the math, and if we all of these things combine

to just to close on the property, all of this is about a $30 million worth of vision over the next two years, but about 8.5 million of it is needed by year-end, so we're believing by next Sunday to the year-end, all of us being involved, we can see all of this done without having to get in debt, hopefully to the glory of God, and I'm really believing that as we give sacrificially, we'll make a difference, not just in our lives, but for the generations to come. What we do now will impact generations to come, so thank you for prayerfully being involved in it, and I don't know about you, but I just wake up excited about what God's doing in the Tampa Bay area. He's not done with our community. Can we give Him some praise of what God is doing in and through our church? Amen? If you have your books with you today, open them up. We are talking today about this idea that I am part of God's plan. I want to encourage you that you have a part to play in God's amazing plan of what He wants to get done on the planet today. Many times we try to disqualify ourselves or we overlook ourselves because we know the behind the scenes of ourself,

but I want you to know that God has a part for you to play in His plan, in His beautiful plan of the redemption of the world today, and you have a significant part to play. I remember when I was growing up, I really wanted to be used by God to do something great, and I remember an opportunity showed up at my church where they were gonna do a Christmas play for the church. It's kind of an outreach into the community, and I remember telling my mom, and I was like, I want to be part of this because I want to be part of making a difference. I was probably 10 years old, and they had to do auditions for this Christmas play. Now, if you've ever been part of a church audition process, it's a little brutal. You would think they would just celebrate everybody is awesome, but I remember I had to stand up in front of a bunch of church leaders, and they would give you a solo to sing. Now, I'm not a singer, but this was a musical play for Christmas, so it was me and my older sister. Now, my older sister is like a rock star. She's unbelievable. She can sing anything, and she gets up there and belts it out, and everybody just, whoo, she's amazing, and then it was my turn,

and I got out there with a little bit that I had, just believing God could use it, and I sang in front of them. It sounded horrific, but I'll never forget the next week we show up to the church, and they've got the paper on the door of all the soloists, and I go to look for my name, and I see my sister's name. She's gonna be the star of the Christmas production. She's got all the different parts, but then right under her name is Aaron Burke, soloist, It's got the name of the song next to it, and the song is called A Man. A Man. And I'm so pumped. I told my mom, I was like, I made it. I am gonna make a difference in Jesus' name. I've got a part to play. And so I get the book. You know how you get down to the playbook and you're kinda going through it? And I'm looking for my song and I can't find it anywhere. So I finally go to the pastors, children's pastors running this production of the church, and I go up to them and I go, I just, I'm so excited. I'm Aaron, I'm the soloist. You probably heard about me. And I'm here to find, I can't find my song in the book.

And he's like, oh, you're confused. A man is not the song. Those are your words you say. I said, I'm not following. No, no, no. During one of the songs, they say, and Jesus is gonna come to the earth as a man, and you are to respond with a question. A man? And then they'll say, yes, a man. That's your part to play. I remember walking away from there so angry. How did they not see the gift inside of me? I can't believe this. After all I've done, this is all I get. And I remember God even checked me, even at like 10 years old. Like, are you willing to use even the little bit that you got and use it for my glory? And I remember as God corrected me, we had three nights of that production. Every night, that part got longer and longer. They'd go, God is coming as a man. And I'd go, a man? Yes, a man. That was it for the whole hour and a half production. But I was part of God's plan. Come on, somebody. I wanna encourage you today in your faith, no matter how significant you think you are,

how talented you think you are, you have a part to play in the plan of God on the earth today. I wanna show it to you in the book of Matthew. If you have your Bibles, turn with me in Matthew 14. I wanna show you one of the most unique miracles in the Bible. It's a great miracle, it's the multiplication of food. Come on, that is a miracle we love right there. And as Jesus multiplies his food, it shows us a unique part that the disciples in another character that I wanna present to you today play in the plan of God. This is a unique miracle. It's one of the few miracles that are mentioned in all four Gospels. Shows the emphasis and how important it is. This is not a parable, meaning a story. This is an actual historical event that actually happened. So let's learn some lessons from it and how God's plan is rolled out today and what your part is in it. Matthew 14, verse 14, when Jesus landed, he saw a large crowd and he had compassion on them and he healed their sick. I love this about our God, that he has compassion, that he knows what's going on in our lives. As the evening approached, the disciples came to him and said, this is a remote place

and it's already getting late. Send the crowds away so they can go to the villages and buy themselves some food. These people have been there all day long listening to Jesus preach. You think I'm long-winded? Try the Son of God. Minus 35 minutes, this guy's all day long. And as he's there and he's preaching, the disciples go, hey, this is getting late. These people haven't eaten. Jesus, send them away so they can get something to eat. This is where the whole plan starts and Jesus looks at this scenario and has a solution for it. Write it down, number one in your notes, is that God's plan addresses humanity's deepest needs. It connects with humanity's deepest needs. Jesus does not look at the disciples and go, who cares about food? I've got spiritual food for them. They should be listening to the sermon. My sermon's more important. No, Jesus recognized the need they had in their life at that moment and he cared about it. He had compassion for them. He had care for what's going on in their life. And this is good news for you today. I want you to hear it across Tampa Bay. If you have a problem, you are a candidate for a miracle. This is how we have to look at our problems

as followers of Jesus, that Jesus sees our need and he cares about our need and he has moved with compassion so every time we approach another problem, understand God cares about this problem and this is an opportunity to see his power at work in our lives. You see, many times you look at your problem and you get frustrated. I want you to look at your problem through the lens of faith. Through the lens of faith, it looks at it this way, that if God's brought me to this place and he knows what's going on in my life, then he has not brought me this far to abandon me. But he's brought me here so that now he can use my life as a testimony to the world around me that God takes care of his people and he cares with what we're going through in our life today. I've seen this throughout my life, that every time there's a need, I've had this crisis of faith. Do I truly get to believe God or am I gonna take matters in my own hands? That's what the disciples did. They said, hey, Jesus, there's a need. Send them away to get something to eat. And Jesus says, no, no, no, I'm not gonna send them away because with me, we have the potential for a miracle. If Jesus is in the room,

there's a potential for the miracle. I don't know what you're going through today, but if Jesus is involved in it, there's a potential for a miracle in your life today. That's good news for us. I think about our church. Our church has had so many obstacles over the last 12 years. If you're just showing up for the very first time, you go, man, they got it all together, 11 locations. It must be easy. You don't know what you've gone through. We've had some tough seasons. We started the church in a rundown dollar theater in South Tampa. There was 190 seats in this auditorium. And we started it and it would look so rough. If you remember these old days, there was green carpet, popcorn smell, mice would fall out of the ceiling. That actually happened many times during a sermon. And during these moments, I remember getting so frustrated because I would lean in and go, God, what are you gonna do? This doesn't work. I would go to three, four, five services a day. And I remember going to my wife all the time, going, this is just frustrating. Hey, God's gonna work a miracle. He brought us this far. He didn't just bring us here to fail us.

He's gonna work a miracle. Well, after our second Easter in 2015, I remember being so upset with the Lord. We had all these people sitting in the hallways, sitting out in the lobby. We had no space for them. And I was so frustrated. I said, God, what are we gonna do? I remember my wife saying, God's gonna provide. He doesn't give you all the steps. He gives you the next step. So I was like, well, God, I need the next step. I need a miracle. So what I did is I would, when I was frustrated in those early days, this was actually still a movie theater. So I would just go and leave my office, I had a little office upstairs, and I would go down and go watch the latest movie. So right after Easter, I got and ordered me a little pizza. Don't hate on me. And I go, I'm gonna order a little pizza because I'm gonna sulk in my frustrations. And I sat right over here in this auditorium right here. This was an old movie theater. And I'd sat right there, and I watched Fast and the Furious on the screen right up here. I don't know which of the 22 Fast and the Furiouses it was, but it was one of those.

And I'm watching this, and I'm venting to the Lord. I'm not following the movie. I'm venting to the Lord as I'm sitting right over here, and I'm going, God, this is your church. We don't have a solution. We don't have anywhere else to go. What are we gonna do? And I'll never forget it. It was not audible, but it was internal. God speaks to me in that moment and says, tear down this wall between these auditoriums. Now, let me just let you know how it worked. This was an auditorium about 200 people, and then this was a big wall here, a 40-foot wall, and then there was another auditorium. So then I start fighting with God. Now, have you ever done this, where I start arguing with God, going, but God, I don't own this place. We rent from someone who's renting. And I remember for about an hour in this movie, I'm arguing with God about how it's possible, and then I start writing out a plan. And I go in, and I sit down with our landlord a few weeks later, and I said, hey, I just had this crazy idea. I wanna blow out this whole wall. It's a 40-foot wall between the auditoriums, and I wanna use it on Sunday. And I expect them to do exactly that,

laugh me out of the room. Like, this is not. And I'll never forget, as I'm sitting there, and the person goes, okay, that sounds good. Let's do that. True story, true story. The next week, so we had Sunday service. The next day, on Monday, I got a bunch of Dream Teamers. We all showed up, and we started to tear out the wall between the two auditoriums. Now, and I can't tell you how legally we did it, but we did it, okay? We were desperate. And it took us six days, working almost 18-hour days for six days. We got all this done, and we're working it out. We're doing this whole thing. And we went from 190-seat auditorium to that next Sunday, our church shows up, and there's 400-and-something seats in there. Why? God provided a miracle. I never want these days that you miss it, that you think, and you go, man, but what I'm up against is too difficult. No, God still provides miracles in your life. You have an issue in your body? Lean into the presence of God. God sees your need, and he can provide you a miracle. The marriage feels too far gone?

Lean into God. He can provide a miracle in your life. That child won't return your phone calls, wants nothing to do with faith. Hold on, I've got good news for you today. You're a candidate for a miracle. God still does miracles. Can we give him some praise today, church? Here's your second point. We have to understand that as they present this issue to Jesus, Jesus responds to them and says, they don't need to go away. You give them something to eat. All right, now I don't like this because it's like the tear down the 40-foot wall. Okay, God, can you tear it down? No, you get a hammer, you get some people together, and you take it down. This is how God works. Number two, write it down. God's plan is shared with God's people. He involves us in his plan. I want you to lean into this. God involves you in his plan. God invites us to be part of the miracle that he wants to do on the earth today. He chooses to work through people, broken, flawed people that do not feel like they got it all together. God says, if you're available, I'll work through your life

to do something you never thought was possible. We see this pattern all throughout Scripture. Noah, do you wanna save your family? Build a boat. If I was Noah, I'd go, what is a boat? And how do I do it? And God, why don't you just build a boat? Hear me out, God won't build the boat for you. He won't build it for you because he wants you to walk in faith and be part of the process so that when the miracle is done, those who knew you before the miracle will give glory to God because they go, you ain't that good. God must be real that he's working through your life. Moses, deliver the people. Okay, God, I'll pray for their deliverance. Noah, I actually want you to go and confront Pharaoh. I ain't wanna do that. God involved him in the plan. Then he gets the people and he brings them out of Egypt and they hit the Red Sea. And God says, take your staff and stretch it over the Red Sea. Well, God, why can't you just part it? Because God involves us in his plan. Did Moses part it or did God part it? God parted it when Moses got involved. And there's some things that God wants to do in your life,

but he only does them when you are willing to participate in his plan to say, God, I don't have it all together, but I'm available for whatever you wanna do in my life. God does his work through his people. It's interesting, like when he builds the church, he builds the church through the people. People come up to me all the time, they're like, I just don't understand why the church doesn't have a heart for this thing. I go, oh, do you have a heart for that? Yes, well, you're part of the church. We have a heart for that. How do you think God's gonna use us? Well, I just think this small group needs to start. Well, are you willing to start that small group? Well, no, I don't wanna do it. I think the church should do it. Who do you think is the church? Well, I just don't think the church needs to ask us for money for these buildings. Who do you think's gonna buy them? Who do you think's paying for this? Who do you think has done this for 12 years? The church has been built off of the sacrifice of God's people. And by the way, this isn't new. This is how God's built his church for 2,000 years. That God says, I have an amazing thing I wanna do, and I'm looking for a group of people

that I can do it through. That's why our verse in Ephesians chapter three, verse 20 is, now to him who's able to do immeasurably more than we can ask or imagine according to his power that is at work within what? Us. I want you to know this. If nobody ever told you this, God wants his power to work through your life. He has an ability to work through even the most broken people if they'll just say, God, you can use us. Because that's how God works. He says, you give them something to eat. And can you imagine these disciples looking at each other going, we ain't got nothing. We ain't got nothing. Look at the next verse. Let's continue our passage. So they come to Jesus and they say, so we have here only five loaves of bread and two fish. I'll show you how they got that in a second. They answered, well, bring them here to me. He says, and he directed the people to sit on the grass after taking the five loaves and two fish and looking up to heaven. He gave thanks and broke the loaves. By the way, that's a beautiful picture. There's a couple of huge things in this.

First of all, the idea of bread, that idea is all throughout Scripture, which aren't you thankful? God loves carbs and fish, come on. Carbs and protein, been with us from the beginning. But that idea of bread is all throughout Scripture. It's shown in the manna and the wilderness. You see it in the prophet Elijah's life. You see it as Jesus saying, I'm the bread of life. This idea that God will provide. God will provide for us. He takes the bread and he breaks it. Another thing on this idea, by the way, is sometimes things look broken before they actually are blessed. There's a lot of times you'll give to the Lord, you'll sacrifice to the Lord, and it looks like a mess before it actually. multiplies. So just hold on to the process. He gave it to the disciples, the disciples gave them to the people. Look at a beautiful phrase there. Jesus gave it to the disciples, the disciples gave it to the people. Number three, God's plan requires faith. It requires faith. So these disciples are like, Jesus is telling us to feed. There's 5,000, they say, men, besides women and children.

Scholars say there's 15 to 20,000 people at this place, and it seems way too big. I look at even our Measurely More book, and I see some of those projects in there, and some of y'all might have looked in there and go, this seems way too big. That's how God works. God gives you a dream that's beyond your current resources. Why? Because he wants to show you, I can move through your life in bigger ways when you just give it to me. So it requires faith. So they look around and they go, we gotta find something. We don't know. Dordash hasn't shown up to this place. So we gotta figure out a solution. And they look over and they find this little boy who's sitting there listening to Jesus, and they look over and they go, what do you got in that lunch box? The boy opens it up, and he goes, my mama prepared for me a little lunch, and I've got two fish, and I got five loaves. I'll just show y'all, there they are, right there. This is what I got. Now, I want you to picture this boy where the disciples looked at him and go, oh, that's all the food we can find.

Hey, give it to us. Jesus wants it. Now, what would the objections the boy would have? I mean, if I was the boy, I'd start with, well, this is mine. I'm sorry that y'all did not come prepared. Think about it. The fact that this boy was the only one that came prepared with food, yet he was the one that did not sit there and go, well, if Jesus, he can create his own food if he wants to. Well, everybody else, that's their fault. I'm sorry they're hungry. I got it taken care of, because guess what? I came prepared for this thing. And by the way, not only am I prepared, I didn't eat it earlier in the day. I actually saved it up for later in the day. Because why? Because I'm a smart kid. But how many times when God tells us to give, we come up with these ideas that this is mine, and God says, it's not yours. And by the way, what you think is great is only insignificant until you give it to God. And then this idea that, then we start judging the people that are asking. Come on, church. That church wants to ask me for this stuff. I don't understand why we're doing a measure anymore.

My campus, we already have a building. We don't need anything else. Be careful. Be careful when you start judging the motives of other people when Jesus tells us, listen, we give, here's what we do. We say, God, I give. I give it to you because you're asking me for it. Listen, write it down in your notes this way. Faith gives because God asked for it, not because it makes sense. Not because it makes, it's not always gonna make sense. It doesn't make sense when you put God first in your finances. It doesn't make sense when you show up on Sunday and give God the first part of your day. It doesn't make sense when you serve the church, when you could be at the beach. It doesn't make sense, but God blesses it. And when you get over this idea that it's mine, and they can take care of themselves, and you think kingdom, and you say, you know what? It might not be enough, but if it's in God's hands, I'm believing he'll do immeasurably more through it in my life, then that's where God will bring the blessing in your life. I love this. I love this because this boy decided to give, and not only he decided to give it when it was truly was his, but here's the second one.

He decided to give it even though it was small. Sometimes we look at our life and we go, oh, I can't give my talent. I can't give my time. I can't give my finances. It's small, it's insignificant. Let me tell you, God can use it in your life. In this series, we've been challenging us even in our generosity, and as we pledge to the Lord, and we'll do this later on in our service, but as we pledge, there's three levels that I always challenge myself with in this, and I just want you to write them in your notes. I think they're significant for us. When God asks you for something, usually sometimes we start with, well, what can I afford? What can I afford? Like, you know, how much time? How much can I do? What can I do? I wonder if this boy looked at it and goes, well, I gotta take care of me so you can have some of the rest, but that's what he could have afford. Then there's this second level, which is what can I sacrifice, and this is kind of like the begrudging, like, oh, I guess you can have it, and woe is me. I guess I just gotta give this up,

but I think this boy looked at it different. I think this boy looked at it through the eyes of faith, which is this third phrase, which is what can I believe God could do through me? Like, if I surrender the little that God has given me, what can I believe that he can do through my life? This boy had no clue that his five loaves and two fishes would feed 20,000 people with 12 basketfuls left over. The Bible says they were fully satisfied. And I think at that moment, the boy willingly gave it up. And let me encourage some people in this because the Bible tells us that God loves a cheerful giver. Whatever God asks you, look at that verse in 2 Corinthians. Each of you should just give what you've decided to give in your heart. So there's not manipulation, there's not guilt. You should never feel like coerced into anything, not reluctantly or under compulsion. Hear me out, Radiant, for God loves a cheerful giver. Can I present to you that the boy who was asked for his lunch, and they said, Jesus wants it. I'm convinced that this boy who had been fed spiritually for hours throughout that day said, what I have just received from Jesus has so blessed my life that I am willing to give him whatever he asks of me. Never give out of reluctance. Always give out of the fact that if Jesus saved me,

what he's blessed my life with, how he's impacted me, I'm willing to be given the overflow of God. What can you do through my life of generosity? Can I hear a better amen today, church? The Bible says, and they all ate and were satisfied. And the disciples picked up 12 basketfuls of broken pieces that were all left over. Why 12? Well, how many disciples were there? 12, I think it's a beautiful number. I think each disciple walked home with a basketful left over saying, you know what? God can do a lot with a little. He can do significant with just a little bit that's put in Jesus' hands. Here's number four, and then we'll close with this. God's plan turns our sacrifice into something supernatural. Supernatural. And when you decide to say yes to God, whatever area that is of your life, to say I'm saying yes to the plan of God, I'm saying yes to surrender, I'm saying yes to my time, I'm saying yes, God, you can have my resources. When I say yes to that, God turns a little into something significant. I wanna share with you just one story of a couple who I love so much, who they took what was in their hand and placed it in God's hand, and he multiplied it in a supernatural way.

Check this out. We spent about 17 years really at that church just building a community of a family that served the Lord together. And the youth ministry days were a lot of fun, moving into lead pastoring was also a big step for us, but it was great. It was really a time where we saw people come together, we saw our youth group grow up into adults, and we all served the Lord together, a small, close-knit little community. Aaron and I often sat on our back porch swing, praying and talking, we would ask each other, what can we do? What is God asking us to do? Those conversations were raw and honest and filled with questions. We had hope and deep desires to stay faithful. We didn't have answers, but we kept showing up in praying, believing that God would answer our prayers. And we were so grateful for that. We were so grateful for the people that we served in that community. And we were so grateful for the people that we served in that community. And we kept showing up in praying, believing that God wasn't finished with us yet. Even with all the uncertainty, we felt something stirring inside of us, kind of a sense that God was preparing to do something new,

but we really didn't know what it was or where it was, and how could we possibly have it happen with the little that we had? We needed a miracle. I think I was struggling a lot with defeat and did I fail? I was not done with you. I have something different. And that single conversation sparked something. What if Trinity Church could become a part of Radian? For weeks, we had been praying, asking God for clarity, direction, confirmation. We transitioned in the air, but we didn't yet have the peace to move forward. But that one Sunday, we went to a service at Radiant Clearwater Campus, and something happened. I felt God whisper a clear yes. It wasn't just permission, it was purpose. I felt the Spirit speak in a gentle, powerful way. I'm not done with you. I'm not done with Trinity. I have something new for you. And that was the confirmation we really needed. Hearing God's yes so clearly meant everything to us. It silenced our doubts and fears, and it reminded us that God doesn't just guide us. He goes before us, preparing the way. That moment made a shift in our spirits. We no longer felt like we were stepping into the unknown alone. We knew we were stepping into something God had ordained.

His yes brought peace and confidence and a renewed passion to move forward in faith. It's been incredible to see Trinity become part of the Radiant family. We said yes, we took the leap, and today what once was a room with dwindling attendance is now a campus full of life, energy, expectation. We're seeing more salvations in a week than we used to see in an entire year. And God is clearly moving. There's a renewed sense of purpose, of hope, of momentum. What felt like an ending has now really become a brand new beginning, and it's only the start of what we believe God is going to continue to do in our city. If you're feeling stuck between holding on and stepping out, I want to encourage you. When you place what's in your hands into God's hands, he always does immeasurably more. Come on, Radiant Church. Can we celebrate what God's doing? I love that story because it's so connected with our story of the multiplication of food because I remember having that conversation with them where Alice is going, maybe just God's asking you to release what was in your heart and to be part of something else. And they had to have this moment to say, you know what? I'm willing to sacrifice. I'm willing to lay down for something. And we truly seen multiplication there

in the Trinity, Tarpon Springs area. And how does that happen? When somebody is obedient to God to say, God, whatever you ask me to do, I'll give it to you. I'll surrender it to you. So we're gonna do two things before we close today. In just a few minutes, we're gonna pledge to the Lord of what he would do through our lives immeasurably more over the next couple years. This is not a time to actually give. This is a time to commit to your life to say, God, what can you do? What can I believe that you're gonna do through my life? So you should have got that card and you're gonna take it and you're gonna fill it out in just a minute. We're gonna collect it in a few minutes. My wife's gonna come up and we're gonna pray. But before we do that, I have to address the biggest issue in the room. This is the most significant thing you have to understand. The most important thing you will ever do with your life is surrender it to Jesus. Let me just tell you, you might feel broken. You might feel lost. You might feel insignificant. You might feel small. But when Jesus calls your life, he's calling you to surrender. And you can hold on to it and say, no, it's mine, or no, it's broken, or it's not enough,

or you can surrender your life into the hands of Jesus. And when you do, it's in that moment a miracle happens. The miracle of salvation where God takes what is broken and he blesses it and he multiplies your life to make an impact for eternity and for his glory and for his honor. And like the boy in our story, he had no clue that just saying yes to Jesus would impact so many people. And you have no clue that your yes to Jesus could change your family, could change your business, could impact your mind, could impact generations to come. It starts with you saying yes to Jesus. Here's my question for you as I close out this message. Have you surrendered your life to God? I didn't ask if you're a church person. I didn't ask if you've done good things. I don't ask if you've given money to good causes. Have you surrendered your life to God? And if you've never done that, there's no greater moment than right now to say, God, I surrender all that I am, all that I'm broken, all that I've sinned, everything that I have, I give it to you. And he's a God that can take it and multiply it for his glory and his honor. Aren't we grateful for the salvation that's available through Jesus Christ? All across Tampa Bay, nobody moving around for the next couple of minutes, we're almost done.

Just close your eyes, and I want you to just evaluate your life. Just evaluate right now. Have you surrendered your life to Christ? If that's you on the count of three, I want you to respond and say, Aaron, I have not surrendered my life to Jesus, and I want to right now. And as that hand goes up, when I get to three, this is your moment of faith to say, God, I give it all to you. Jesus loves you so much, he went to that cross for your sins and for mine. And this is your moment as he's calling you to say, hey, give me your life. It's not about your money, it's not about your time, it's about your heart. Have you given Jesus your life? If that's you on the count of three, throw that hand up and make the most significant decision that you'll ever make with your life to give your life to Jesus. One, two, three. If that's you, throw that hand up. Man, dozens of hands all in this room. Thank you, I'm so proud of you, so proud. Thank you, just keep it up for just a second. Every campus, thank you, thank you, thank you. Thank you there at Odessa. Thank you there all over Pinellas County,

so proud of y'all. Thank you there at New Tampa, the Heights, those in Brandon, those at Westchase, so proud of you. You can put that hand right back down. Why don't we all pray this prayer out loud? It's a confession with our mouth, but it's also a belief in our heart that Jesus is who he says he is and that we're putting our faith in him. Let's all do it as an act of faith. Say, dear Jesus, today I give you my life, I surrender to you. You are my Lord and you are my Savior. I will follow you. Thank you for dying for me. I choose to live for you for the rest of my life. Be my Lord and be my Savior. In Jesus' name we pray. In all God's people said, amen. Can we celebrate those who just made the best decision?
