We did this at the first gathering and and look man I got to take a moment, you know, you got to confess your sins, right? You know first gathering I get on stage too soon the first time Why hey when you don't get it, right wrong the first time do it better, right? So I come up early again on the second one tonight So I know y'all thought I was coming to sing, but you don't want to hear me sing I promise so but hey just you know, thank you for showing up today Thank you for being here and what a day to be in God's house, right? so what we're gonna do is we're gonna As As our young ladies and young men come on up to the stage You might ask what is passion? Well, let me tell you what passion is. So passion started in passion City Church in Georgia and so what happened was it grew into a conference right and this conference has been going on for years and Pastor Louie and his wife and the passion band if you listen to worship music and you listen to passion Worship, then you know who I'm talking about, but we got the opportunity to go to Dallas this year Yes for a passion conference. So I see I see a bunch of passion shirts in the crowd

So if you will stand up real quick if you went to passion stand up I Thank you, you can sit down We got a picture up here from the first year. We went to passion. There was 19 of us All right, and I want you to pay attention to the guy in the bottom left right beside Connor and it looks like it don't look like Connor Connor got a facial hair now, so but uh That guy's name is Vaughn and I'm gonna tell you a little story about Vaughn later on after we get into this panel But Vaughn is one of the most selfless Human beings I've ever met in my life. He goes to passion City Church and To briefly tell you how he got Entangled or entwined in our church so to speak was a K star pastor Steve and all the leadership that's been pouring into young people have done an awesome job. And so His goddaughter Happened to be in our youth program and she had someone close to her pass away in her godfather came down to the funeral and so he comes to the funeral and Him and Steve strike up a conversation about you know this big conference for young adults seniors and young adults You know basically 18 to 25 and so he funded the tickets for the first passion trip for Momentum Church And if we can go to that next picture and this is what we took this year Yeah In the same guy that has only visited Momentum Church is the same guy that paid for all of those tickets, yeah Just shy of 80 people we drove out to Dallas, but hey I got a little more on Vaughn closer to the end, but right now I want you to listen to the people on this Stage right now They can tell you far better than I can tell you middle schoolers if you're I see middle schoolers in here lock into this because you're not far away from their age and Before you know it you'll be my age and you'll be old. So hey pay attention. There's a ton of wealth of knowledge and Spirituality on this stage right now

so I don't care if you are middle schooler, I don't care if you're 85 years old in here. There's something you can take away from this and I hope you receive that today But I need you to lock in it's just not a panel right? I want you to hear how God moves how God moves hearts and how God moves people through other people and I'll highlight some points for you. So first of all we're going to, I'm going to sit down, but first of all we're going to start with Colton here and if we will come around left to right and you know quickly tell us about who you are. Yeah what's up guys I'm Colton Galat. I'm 18 years old. I go to Pensacola Catholic and I went to Passion with Momentum and I'm fired up about it. All right hello for those who do not know me I actually lead worship here in Pensacola. My name is Riley Payne and I am a senior in Gulf Breeze High School and I will be graduating this May. Hi everyone I am not on okay. Hi everyone I am K-Star Jolly and I've had the privilege of leading teens for quite a few years here and I'm honored to have been Riley's leader since what we used to call elementary school was big city and so it used to be big city. I got the to lead her and a group of kids from first through fifth grade and then God called me into high school and so I've been able to be with them since 9th through now 12th. Hey and real quick you know we're a generation of honor here at Momentum Church and I really want to take a moment to K-Star is not one of the kids up here she is actually a leader so me and Doug joked about that earlier so but hey what you've done here at Momentum in leading is not only inspirational but it's been a ripple effect in the kingdom that will be remembered for years and yeah yeah and if yeah that's hey that's a great time to stand up that's a great time to stand up. If you don't lead in ministry especially young adults and kids and middle schoolers and all those things you you have no idea the time and effort that it requires. You know serving the Lord is in ministry is a 24 hours a day seven days a week because no matter what you have going on their problems matter in the moment to them and you know you're always I see you everywhere I see you checking in and I see you asking about people kids that are not even yours and and I just want to say that you know that that doesn't go unnoticed and this this church and this congregation or it's thankful for you and so are we. Hi guys my name is Haven I'm 20 years old and I go to Pensacola State College. Hi everyone my name is Noah I am 22 years old and I go to Beacon College in Leesburg Florida and Passion 2026 was absolutely amazing. So Noah we're going to keep that right there with you and we're going to hit our first question so

can you describe Passion in a sentence or two? Absolutely so Passion 2026 was just the most incredible experience for for any young adult because to be in Globe Life Field in Dallas Texas surrounded by 45,000 young adults all worshiping one name Jesus Christ the man who died and bled for us it was just it was just absolutely incredible and I was just honored and privileged when Pastor Steve texted me and said Noah a spot opened up do you do you want to go and I was like absolutely let me start I'm going to start 2026 off on the right note which is worshiping with 45,000 of my closest friends. And that's funny that Noah said that because he was a last minute ad had no idea he had not planned on going wanted to go but did not have the opportunity at the beginning and last minute opened up and and look now he's on stage I love that. Passion 2026 fulfilled me it fulfilled my knowledge about God but it also fulfilled my spirits. I told you there's messages within the messages right today so Haven who is actually on our team for next briefly I asked Haven this morning I was like hey you know there's something I want to share with everyone in both gatherings and and I was like is this okay and she's like yeah I love that. So Pastor Tim is always talking about the power of the invite and you know and some of us will think well we're just trying to fill up seats and all this and why why why no it's bigger than that and I'm gonna tell you why it's bigger than that. So Haven got invited to next and from someone who was in our youth program. She comes to Next that night, and let me tell you how God works. God works in ways that we can't even fathom, we can't even understand, and if you keep trying to you'll just stay up late, right? So she gets invited, she comes in a random conversation from another person she had never met before, opens up the door for God to start moving. So Haven had went through some hard times in the previous year, and she had lost someone really close to her. And so she comes in, and Dylan, who's my worship leader for Next, he's in here and he's got the music planned out for that night, and we're rolling with it. So they sing her and this person's favorite worship song that had lost their life. And so the Holy Spirit just starts moving in the moment, right? She's over here sobbing, and not a bad thing, and we'll talk about that a little bit later, but she's sobbing, and I get the privilege of God putting me in the position that night to give a message. Wasn't part of my notes, wasn't anything I had planned to say that

night, but God moved, and I spoke something, and I would say it probably changed your life that night. God did, not me, just using the words that I spoke. And so that night, she gives her life to Jesus. Yeah. And so moving forward, she's like, I want to serve. I want to get on the serve team, Adam. I want to serve with Next. And you know, I probably got caught up with something else and kind of let it slip a little bit, and then my wife reminds me, she's like, babe, Haven said she wants to serve. And then Haven sends a text, and she's like, hey, you told me I was gonna get to serve, and I was like, I got you. I'm gonna get it right. I'm gonna fix it. So, short story long, now she's serving on the Next team with us, and what a privilege to have her up here today. All right, so my sentence or two about passion would be, it's a movement of young adults who are hungry for authenticity. They're seeking God's truth, and passion reminds them that they're not alone. Like Noah already mentioned, 45,000 people bringing, worshiping one name, and it was very holy. Wow, so I really don't want to compress all that God did from like the start to the end of passion into one or two sentences. Like I really don't, but I did have to unfortunately, and the best that I can do is it is this holy place where chains are broken, a burden is lifted, and you just feel the presence of God so much. All you can do is just smile about His glory and everything He has done for you. My sentence or two about passion, I was asked to put into one word earlier, and the word I came up with was fire, because passion light that fire in me, that eternal fire, and overall it's just a good realignment. I think it was a good reminder of how we're supposed to worship, and how we're supposed to go throughout our lives, so that would be how I'd describe it. Yeah, and Colton's a very humble guy, but he actually is a baseball stud as well, going to Virginia to play baseball this year. And it's so good to see these, you know, these three right here are serving here at home, but these two on the end are going out, and we're launching them out to spread the good news of Jesus wherever they land. So I'm just so proud of you guys. So hey, we're gonna stay

right here with you though. What surprised you most about passion, and what did you like best about it? Yeah, as soon as we got there, one of the first talking points they had at passion was, they were talking about the name of it, it's called the Passion Conference, but they were saying how the word conference doesn't really fit. A word that better describes the experience there would be encounter, because it really was an encounter with the Holy Spirit. It surprised me, because when I pictured passion, it was gonna be 45,000 people going through the motion, going to listen to some talks, worship, sing some songs, listen to some amazing artists there as well. But it really was people there focused on Christ, centered on the Holy Spirit, and worshiping, and it was such an amazing thing to see. So for me, what surprised me the most is probably about the communicators, and you're like, communicators? But there was these holy moments after worship where they wouldn't, they wouldn't be like, okay worship was great, like let's move on. No, they would sit there, and they would dwell on that moment, that presence of God, and they would just sit there and be like, God. Thank you and they would even have us just sit there in that moment in silence and just pray And they'd be like just thank Jesus for this moment because his holiness and just like his glory shining down so much You're just sitting there and you're like, wow, this is so cool um and I don't want to be the person that's like I love worship like worship is so good because I lead it but For real for real like honestly worship was so Good like all you could do is just hit your knees and smile Like the presence of god was just so strong in that place It didn't matter where we were or like what the building was It was a it was a matter of the people in there just uplifting the name And it gave me such good like god bumps not goosebumps. There's a difference god bumps. I would just sit there and i'm like Jesus, I just love you. I'm like, this is so awesome But that's definitely something that I was like this is so incredible to witness Yeah, good job

So, um, obviously the worship, you know, I I think about it for something It's kind of like you had to be there to to know but if you imagine I know how our church loves night of worship Right, it's coming up. We love it so much Imagine that like I know we're going to say 45 000 a lot of times but imagine that in a baseball stadium 40 45 000 people And it's like night of worship for three days and it is like it's so holy and I think um what surprised me Um, gosh, I don't even know because i've been there before but this time I got to experience it in the first time too But like this time I got to experience it as their leader Um, I get poured into as well so that the fire stays ignited in me um, but then I also am Blessed enough to be able to see it through the eyes of my daughter who is there also so that was really special It's good Okay, so what surprised me most was definitely the people but also and I already forgot it and Teresa just told me but like there was like a moment where like Everybody was just quiet and then they like asked to like Sing this like lullaby rhyme that like christians like know like when they like grow up and like as a new christian I didn't know it and so I was kind of just like sitting there just like Listening to like all these people who like knew it and I didn't even know it and then what I liked most about um Passion was the speakers because I feel like I really felt connected to them Very good What surprised me most about passion for me was all of the people and This was my second time going to passion My first time was passion 2024 at the mercedes-benz stadium in atlanta, georgia and in the stadium there were parts that were not filled with young adults and This year at global I field I looked around and there was like the entire stadium was filled so it's like It's so it's like they were coming coming to get fed They you know

They were they were coming to be filled with with the holy spirit bringing all of their issues and laying it down at the foot of at the foot of the cross and that was just That was just fabulous because we don't worship jesus by ourselves. We worship him together Let's go noah and And what I liked best about it was just getting to know more people and um This is gonna this is gonna surprise you guys sometimes when it comes to meeting new people I get very very nervous because i'm afraid that the word that my words are gonna are gonna slip out bad But getting to share an airbnb with chase chance ashton Connor jayden, it was just it was just amazing these these these men. They're not just my friends They're my brothers brothers in christ and just getting to just getting to and just getting to worship with them and getting to Sit down on the last day of the conference and getting to dissect all the lessons. It was just It was just the most phenomenal experience experience ever and it's going to be an experience that I will cherish For for the rest of my life That's good Hey and shameless plug, but I think you might have heard community in there somewhere right in those houses So shout out to ashley and community groups. So yeah, so hey community is important. It's important How did god let's let's bring it back this way how did god speak to you So how did going to passion impact your life? so in the um in the last gathering I talked about christine kane and this and the message that she had about Seasons and how god created you he didn't discover you but now but This gathering i'm going to talk about pastor louis and how he had the big cross in in the stadium And he talked about how we are The um the art the archers and I wrote here in my notes that take anxiety off the throne of God. And archery is not the archer, not the arrows. And that spoke to me because I've struggled so much with anxiety. When I started at my new college, I was really afraid of what was going to happen. But thankfully, there was a person who has been in my life since day one who told me, you are not going to Beacon to be liked. You are going for Jesus

Christ because he sent you there for a reason. And he's going to be with you until the day you graduate. And she has been in my life from the moment I was born to where I am now. And she has seen me go from my best days to my worst days. And I do want to give that amazing woman a shout out. And that's my mom. That's my mom. And through every lesson I heard at Passion, it was like I was hearing the words that my mom has been telling me over the past six years from when I was in high school to where I am now. And how going to Passion impacted my life, I'm ready to start spreading the word to the people that I interact with. My mom and Ms. Therese have given me all the lessons and techniques, and I'm ready to spread that out and help make the world a better place. Let's go. God spoke to me when John Tyson said, what am I without God but a guide to my own destruction? This spoke to me because when you are not following God, you can feel like your life is falling apart. But also, Passion impacted my life because I was so moved by the community and how all of these people were there just to praise the Lord. That's good. Alright. So, God spoke to me in a very wide variety of ways. As a leader, like I said, as a mom, and personally. And that's what's great about going to Passion is you get to lead but you also get the benefit of God pouring into you at the same time. And, you know, one of the ways he spoke was through Christine Cain. And I think you already mentioned that she talked about seasons and she compared our life to like a Netflix series because that's very relatable to young adults and myself. But you might be in season three of your life's episodes. And somebody else that you're comparing yourself to might be in season seven. And so she's, you know, in a great season in her life that we can see. She's, you know, speaking to 45,000 people. We're all learning and growing from what God tells her. And, you know, my season is not the same season that she's in. So there is no reason to compare. God is working in your season. You know, she talked about Joseph and the many seasons of Joseph's life where he was sold into slavery. And then he is in the king's palace doing well. And then he gets sent to prison. And then he's back, you know, secondhand man to the king. And so all those different seasons, we don't get to see it all. We don't get to see the process. But so let's just be with Jesus in the season

we're in and grow where he has planted us. That's good. So good. Just to add on to what Kaystar said, she also mentioned like just because you don't see somebody's process that they went through doesn't mean it didn't happen. And don't compare everybody's process because it's going to be different because God has different plans for you. But for me, in all honesty, it's hard to say, but I started to become this lukewarm Christian who went to church on Sundays and Wednesdays and I was like, praise Jesus. We love him. And then I'd go home and be like, check that box off. I'm done. And it's really weird to say that, like being a pastor's kid and everything. You're like, you're supposed to be like the holiest out of all of us. I'm not. I'm not, newsflash. But I wouldn't stay for our groups. We have these things called small groups after YTH and I wouldn't stay because I was like, why am I important? I'm not good enough to preach into them. Like I'm not good enough to say anything. Like why would I even need to be there? And Kaystar actually started to call me out, which then got my mom involved and it became this whole thing and she actually, my mom would start to walk me to small groups. But in that moment, I actually, at Passion, we had a debrief session, kind of like what Noah said, and I went to a corner. I kind of wasn't really active and I fell asleep while they were talking. And all my girls can testify, I was asleep and I got woken up. I wasn't awake. I got woken up and Kaystar was like, come sit by me. And I was like, no, no, no, I'm good. I like my seat. And she's like, no, come sit with me. And I was like, oh, okay. So I come over there. and sit, and then all of a sudden, it's like God just ignited our group. And we just start spit firing, and we're like, God is amazing. He has done all these things. And then it hit me, because then we started to talk about lies that we're listening to, and mine was that I'm not good enough. And K-Star and Misty actually had this idea

where we literally said in front of the group, you are good enough, and God says you are. And I sat there in that moment, and I was like, that is what God has taught me at Passion is, Riley, you are good enough. If you are the daughter of the Most High King, pick up your crown, place it on your head, and remember who you are and whose you are. So for me, it was final. If God says it, that settles it, and there's nothing else you can do about it. And for now, I only live for the, I say for now. I did not mean that. From now on, let me change that. I only live for the audience of one, and if you have a problem with me living for God, I'm so sorry. I'm not going to fix it. So. Kind of similar to Riley. I think as Christians, it's so easy to get caught up in the mundane stuff, just going through the motions, going to church, going to youth group, doing your quiet time. But it's easy to get in a spot where your heart's not in the right place, you know? You're doing it just to check the box, and I think that's sort of where I was at. And I think we had this moment at Passion. It was during worship, and the worship leader said, hey, guys, if you're able, hit your knees.

We're all going to submit fully to the Lord, and we're on our knees. We're worshiping. I'm not an emotional guy. I'm not one to tear up about this, but I was sitting there, and I just had tears coming down my face. And I was like, all right, lock in. My boys are next to me. I can't let them see me like this, you know? But I look over at them, and the exact same things happen to them. And that's the Holy Spirit, man, because I saw that they were in the same spot as me, and it showed me that, hey, these things you're going through, you're not going alone. Like, other people are dealing with similar stuff, and the Lord gives you those people at those right times, and you need to lean into them in those times. And it also showed me when the tears are coming down my face that I don't need to be ashamed of my faith, you know? Walk. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, you don't need to be ashamed. You need to wear it like a jersey, you know? Walk through the hallways at your school. Walk it out. Be the light in the hallway, you know, man? But that's really what God put on my heart from passion.

So good. Yeah. Yeah. I'm going to answer that one as well, because we talked about it in the first gathering. The first time I ever went to Passion, I showed you the picture of that. I was there and ended up here in worship, and I started crying. And I called my wife in between, and I'm like, hey, is my estrogen level too high? Like, what's going on? And we laughed about that the first gathering. My wife wasn't in here, but she can vouch for that. That's a true story. And she's like, no, that's the Holy Spirit. I've been praying for that. I've been praying for the Holy Spirit to move you. So I want to encourage you men, you masculine men. I'm confident in who I am as a man, but there's many days I stand in this room and tears come down my eyes, because I'm just so thankful of how God's moved in my life and what he's done for me and my family. So shake that pride off, man. And God counts your tears, and they're a form of prayer. And so, hey, none of you are too manly to cry out to the Lord. But I want to say, like, where did God speak to me? This is my fourth time getting to go to Passion. So for me, it was, I can get caught up on all the stuff like Colton was speaking about and Riley.

But all I just heard was God just saying, do your job. I've tasked you, I've given you the opportunity to lead a ministry now. Do your job. I'll work out all the other crud and bad stuff, and you just be obedient. So that's how he spoke to me at Passion this year. So our last question, and we'll start back over here at Noah. What has changed in you that will impact others? So what has changed in me is now I'm beginning to pray out loud. I'm praying, I'm blessing food. I'm blessing over the dining table. I had a friend come to the last gathering, and she and I went to dinner Wednesday night, and I prayed over the food. And she said, Noah, that's something you've never, ever done before. Passion, I prayed out loud for Ms. Therese, for Caleb, for Misty, for all of these people because they've prayed for me as I was going through all of my issues. And in October, my dad was admitted to the hospital after suffering a health scare. And of course, I was down at school and my mom called me and said, please don't worry, but when you get that phone call that your father's in the hospital, you are scared to death. But the faculty and staff at Beacon College, they prayed for me because they knew

how close I am with my dad. So in that moment, it taught me that you need to stop letting all of the people do the talking. You need to pick up the microphone and start praying because what they're doing for you is good, but you have to do your own thing. You have to pull your own weight. And another thing that I've also noticed in me is also when I'm praying, I'm speaking in tongues, which is something that I've also never done before. And that's just a sign that God who told me that my autism and ADHD doesn't define me is now giving me the opportunity to now be a blessing to those who need to hear it. And I am so ready to hop on that plane Saturday and go back to school and now bless my classmates, bless my professors, bless anyone in Leesburg, Florida who needs to know the spirit of God is in them. I am now ready to spread the word around. Let's go. That's good, that's good. That's good. That's good. That's good. That's good. That's good. That's good. That's good. That's good. Another thing that I've noticed in me

that will impact others is going to Passion made me want to come back and share my faith and share what had happened at Passion because seeing all those people my age just praising the Lord made me want to just tell everybody else about it. That's good. That's good. So every time I go to a youth camp or especially Passion, I feel like there's a new fire that's lit inside of me for a fire for these teens and young adults. I am ready to go. I'm excited about the future. I'm sad that my girls are leaving, but I am very happy and I feel more confident after Passion that we get to pass as youth leaders, we get to pass them to the next ministry. In the next ministry. No pun intended. Yes, so like I feel super good about that and I'm just so thankful that we get to have multiple avenues and multiple ways to pour into our kids and we talked a lot, like every leader, every speaker at Passion kind of had, they just built onto each other and that's all Holy Spirit right there and so they all talked about the fire and it's a fire inside that doesn't burn out easily and so I'm so thankful to just get that reignited,

be able to pass the baton to you guys as you lead and the ripple goes even further. That's correct. Love that. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Now, what has changed in me that I will impact others is I no longer value the opinions of the world. I'm not like, oh, I hope my hair looks good today. I hope people compliment my outfit. I hope my makeup's on point. No, I don't care anymore. It's all about Jesus. Instead, I value what God has to say and what he says and if he says that I am beautifully and wonderfully made and that I am a masterpiece of his, that's what I am. It is. I have no other opinions about it and no one can tell me anything different and the way I will be impacting others is my walk with Christ and I will not be being like, oh, passion was great. All right, that's done now. Let's go back. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. We're gonna be feeding into that fire.

You gotta feed it. Every day I've been waking up and I've been reading my Bible and I try to start the day off with it and sometimes, yeah, life gets busy, so I pray and then I do read my Bible at the end of the day, which, yeah, it's okay, but I can get better. But I want people to see me and realize how on fire I am for God and that they see Jesus through me by showing the love of Christ that he has loved me, so. I have, I've been blessed by God to have sort of a solid platform at my school and on social media, stuff like that and I think something that I've taken from passion is that that fresh fire that we got inside of us is something you need to let shine. Don't hide it under a bushel. I'm gonna let it shine, you know what I mean? But I think that's something that I'm gonna take with me is whether it's the freshmen on the baseball team or like kids in school, but using my platform to share the word of God and show them a good example. So good. Adam, Adam, Adam, can I say one more thing? Do we have any middle schoolers in the house? I wanna tell you guys something. I was in middle school when my grandmother passed away. Her passing affected me so much. I actually was mad at God for almost five and a half years.

But I want you guys to know that you all are blessed to go to YTH, to have leaders who pour into you and care for you. Each and every one of you has a fire burning inside of you and a gift that God has blessed you with. Don't ever let anyone take that gift or fire away from you. You have the ability, the strength, the courage and the passion to reach for the stars and change the world. So don't ever let a bully or a bad friend or whoever tame you. You guys are on the path to an amazing life. Don't ever let anyone take it away from you. That's so good. And Noah's leaving, but while he's up here, if you wanna serve, go to momentumchurch.org slash serve. We're looking for more leaders, just so you know. But no, I figured I'd throw a shameless plug in there. But hey, can I get that picture back up, Yvonne? We're gonna wrap this up, but I wanted to, we wanna land this plane and I want you to take from today quite a few things. But if you don't take anything else from today, I want you to take sowing seeds, right? And we reap what we sow and all those things. But I got something more important for you. Second Corinthians 9, six says, whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly. And whoever sows bountifully will also reap bountifully. Yvonne is the epitome of what I said of sowing. And the fruits that are up here on this stage today

that are sharing with you that have touched someone in this room today, and if not, will touch generations down the road, started because he had the nudge in him to sow, to plant, right? And he's planting these because God put it on him. And I challenge you guys, I don't know, I don't know his finances, but I can tell you what, if you go look up passion tickets, they're not cheap. So the heart for him to do this year after year after year, and the only time he's here is when he comes and he speaks and we invite him all the time, but he's a busy guy. But in a sense, what he's doing is exactly what Jesus did, right? So also, and production's gonna kill me because I threw this one on the fly, but Mark 10, 45 says, for even the son of man come not to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many. So what I just told you, Vaughn's been doing this for years, right? And he saw a need that needed to be paid for, and he did it. Well, that's the same thing Jesus Christ did for you. You know, and you ask, if you're in here today and you don't know who Jesus is, you don't know why you need Jesus, well, I'm glad you asked. I want you to bow your heads for a minute. And don't just bow your heads and get on your phone or tap the neighbor or fall asleep right now.

This is a moment I want you to think about why we even need Jesus. And obviously, the people on this stage today have stood up here and told you testimonies of how they've been impacted by Jesus. Well, if you've ever sinned, if you don't know what a sin is, if you've lied, you've stolen, you've cheated, all those things, then you've sinned. I've sinned. We all fall short of the glory of God, and we will continue to sin. But God sent someone for that. He sent someone to die for all those sins so that we could eternally live in heaven with God. Live in heaven with God. So he sent his son to walk the earth, all God, all man. He died for our sins, he bled for our sins, and ultimately, he was crucified for our sins. But on the third day, just as prophecy and scripture had said, he rose. The only God that people talk about. that's ever done that. And if you don't know Jesus today, then I want to give you an opportunity before we get out of here. We're gonna say a prayer together. All of us are gonna say it. If you're saved, then cool. I want you to support the person beside you because you never know where someone's at in that walk of faith. And then after we say this prayer together, I'm gonna ask you for a little courage. And don't be scared. I get to do this every Monday night and I watch young people, bold young people that say, I'm gonna stand up and I'm gonna profess my love for Jesus Christ and I'm gonna accept him into my heart. You're not

saying this to me. You're not saying this through me. We're saying it together. So if you'll repeat after me. Jesus, I know that I'm a sinner and there's nothing I can do to save myself. I confess my sins to you. I know that you died on the cross for my sins and my salvation. The best I can, I transfer my trust to you. I know that I'm a sinner and I need a Savior. Well heads down, eyes closed, if you've said that for the first time and you mean that and you want to accept Jesus into your heart and you want to start the healing, then on the count of three just slide your hand up. And it's not to embarrass you or point you out, but we want to get a little material in your hand to get you started on your walk with Jesus. One, two, three. All right, all right. All right. I appreciate all you guys coming out today. I appreciate your attention to these young adults and high schoolers and leaders. And look, before I turn it over to Tyler, I want to challenge you. Be a ripple. Be a ripple effect for the kingdom of God, whatever that is. If you can serve, serve. If you're a prayer warrior, then pray. But tell people about how Jesus changed your life. I love you guys. Well that was a great word that we just heard. So make sure to leave a comment on the video of what you got from it. Give us a like and subscribe to the YouTube page.
