Reach One
If we want the world around us to experience the hope of Jesus, we have to start with people within our influence. We have to start with just one. This weekend, we’ll learn practical steps to take towards getting our ‘one’ to receiving life with Jesus.
has on each of our lives. And so today, I'm going to give you just something very specific to do with that. And in preparation, I'm going to ask the Holy Spirit to work in your heart and mind and to just guide us over the next few minutes. Would you guys pray with me? And perhaps you'd be willing just to turn your palms up just like that? Something we do at Sun Valley, if that's new for you, this is just a posture of receiving. The Christian life runs on something called grace. Grace is not something you earn. Grace is something you receive. The song is not called amazing effort. The song is called amazing what? Grace, it's unmerited favor. And so the Christian life is primarily about receiving from God what we need to live out His will for us. And so we're just going to receive right now. Would you guys pray with me? Let's pray together. So Holy Spirit, Spirit of God, I invite you, would you just completely take over now? We give you our minds and our hearts and we ask you to speak to us and to change us. As always, nobody needs to hear from me, but we all need to hear from you beginning with me. And so I pray that you would move in power. And I pray that we would receive what you have for us today and that we would take action with it. And that in and through us, the local church, that you would change the world. And so bless this time and speak to us now. We pray, may it be for the honor and glory of Jesus and also for our good. So we ask this in His name, in Jesus name. Amen. Amen. First thing I want to challenge you with today is this Thursday, we're having a night of worship and prayer. That's November the 12th at 6.30. We will have childcare calling all of the church to a night of worship and prayer. I believe it's going to be a very powerful time and I believe it's going to be life-changing for you personally. If you need personal prayer for something in your life, definitely want to invite you to be here. So this Thursday, 6.30, all of our locations. And so go ahead and put that down and plan on being with us this Thursday night. Over the past few weeks, we've been talking about sharing our faith and every week, we've looked at a couple of verses that we call the Great Commission. Let me give you the context of when Jesus said we're about to read. God, think with me here for a second. Can you think with me here? I'm going to go big. You ready? Let's go big for a second. God is an infinite eternal spirit who doesn't have any boundaries or limitations and yet has an intellect, feelings, and a will. Have you ever thought like where did God come from? You ever have that thought? Do you know why you think that way? Because you live in the construct of something called time. In the construct of time, there is a beginning and there is an end. I mean, you have a beginning and you'll have an end physically speaking, right? Because
you live in the construct of what of time? Did you know God created time? And because God created time, he's the creator of time, which means he lives outside of the construct of time. Is everybody with me? So when we have the thought, everybody's like, I'm not with you at all. What did you just say, right? When we have the thought, where did God come from? We're thinking as finite beings who live in the construct of time. But God is eternal. Think with me. Eternity is not a measurement of time. Eternity is a state of being outside of time. So think with me. God who is infinite in every way, no boundaries, no limitations, everywhere at the same time, all knowing, all powerful. You me tell you what God can't do? He cannot get lost. Because he's here and he's already there and he's everywhere in between. No boundaries or limitations. And yet this being who is infinite in every way has a personality and elect feelings and will. And this is what God did because he loves you and me. He wrapped himself up in human form in the person of Jesus. God incarnate, which is a theological way of saying God in the flesh. I always say this. I was made fun of this past week on Instagram that I tell dad jokes. My jokes are much better than dad jokes. But one of the comments was the dad joke I like is Jesus is God with a bud. the butt. That's a fancy way of saying that Jesus is God incarnate. And I think with me, so God, this infinite eternal being without any boundaries or limitations, wraps himself up in human form and chooses to be born in Bethlehem in a barn, not a power move, not a flex, nobody's showing off there. That's God entering into humanity gently. And God wrapped up in the person of Jesus, lives a human life. Not born into wealth, but born into a lower middle-class family. He's the son of a blue-collar worker. Joseph the Carpenter, step-son, actually, the first family of God was a blended family. Has anybody ever thought about that? Those of you in blended families, I'm just telling you, Jesus had a blended family. Joseph was not his dad. Yet Jesus grew up in this household and in this environment. And when he came of age, he was a carpenter. No power tools. You ever see those pictures where like Jesus is like limping and skinny? No. No power tools are carpenter. When's the last time you tried to saw something without electricity? Your arms will get sore, right? He was a blue-collar worker with calluses on his hand. He was a carpenter. He was strong. He was a man's man. At 30, he began his ministry as a rabbi, as a teacher, and he was different. The people when he taught said this rabbi is different. He teaches with authority. He picks the word authority in your mind. What is the root word of the word authority? It's this word, author.
He taught like he owned it all and created it all. He taught as the author. He taught with authority. And Jesus ministered for three years. And he caused the blind to see and the deaf to hear and the lame to walk. He did miracles. And he taught to the masses. And he spent time mentoring up close and over time with 12, his close disciples. And then around 33 years of age, he was falsely accused and crucified on a cross. Theologically, biblically, the fulfillment of prophecy, at least 300 distinct prophecies in the Old Testament. The last book of your Old Testament is Malachi. The first book of your New Testament is Matthew. There is a 400-year gap between when those two books were written. 300 distinct prophecies in the Old Testament about the coming Christ or the coming Messiah. Those two words mean the same thing. Christ is Greek, Messiah is Hebrew. Jesus fulfills all 300 prophecies. Things that humanly speaking, he would have no control over. Where he would be born, the way that he would die, those kinds of things. And on the cross, the Messiah, the Christ, God made flesh, paid for all sin, for all time. Jesus paid it all. Three days later, he rose again, conquering death, hell, and the grave. And for the next 40 days, the resurrected Jesus appeared before many witnesses. One account in Corinthians says at one time, about 500 people saw him. And I love the way it's written, because the Apostle Paul says, "Hey, if you want to talk to them, go ask them." You can go ask them what they saw, which means that the New Testament was not written hundreds of years after the events, but within the span of one lifetime. 40 days, the resurrected Jesus appeared. And on the 40th day, he told his followers to meet him on a mountain side. And what we're about to read is the last thing he says before he ascends into heaven. And if you're sitting there right now and you're thinking, "Dude, you're really milking this cow like leading up to this moment." Yes, I am. Because, as we read what we're about to read, I want you to fill the weight of it. And I Now I want you to fill the responsibility of it, and then I want to Jesus could have talked about anything in this moment and he gives us what's called the Great Commission, Matthew 28, verses 19 and 20. So he's standing there on the mountainside, the resurrection of Jesus, and he's speaking to his followers
and here's what he 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 teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always to the very end of the age. I've mentioned this the past couple of weeks, quick reminder, he says go and make disciples, baptize and teach. The subject of that command is this simple word and when we read it most people miss it, but the subject of the command, the last thing that Jesus talks about before he does a Peter Pan right up into heaven before he ascends, the last thing he tells his followers to do is go disciple them, go baptize them, go teach them. The focus of the final command is them, which begs the question, right? Who are them? Them is anybody that's not currently part of us, right? And yet for the past couple thousand years the church by and large tends to be self-focused. Here's what we want. Here's what we like. It's us, us, us, us, and yet the final command is go and reach who? Them, this is part of God's call on your life. If you're a follower of Jesus, you don't come to church.
You are the church. And I always say this when I say that. So when somebody comes to me and says, pastor Chad, the church really ought to be doing this. I always look at them and go, go ahead. I'm not stopping you. You think the church ought to be doing that? More power to you. Because you're the church. The church is not a building that you come and sit in. It's a movement that you choose to be part of to help people meet, know, and follow Jesus. And at the core of the tip of the spear, of the mission of the church is them, where to be outside or focused. And so over the past few weeks, I've just been asking the question, who are the them in your life? And last week we talked about how the Holy Spirit is actually working around you, whether you realize it or not. The people in your life are not there by accident. Providence is on the move. Providence is working. And so who are the them? Because God has called you and me, the local church, to be the light of the world. And so every week, I've just posed this question at the end of each sermon. Here's the question.
You're ready? It's a question for you. I'm asking you, who will be in heaven because of you? It's the work of the Holy Spirit, but He partners with you and with me to reach them. So here's what I'm gonna do over the next few minutes. Did you feel the weight of that? Feel the weight of that? I'm asking you. Feel the weight of that call, okay? Feel the weight of it. It's what our church is called too. Most churches, the reason they stay very, very small and the reason that they argue over the color of the carpet and then there's a church split is because nobody is mission focused. The reason most people are bored in church is because nobody's mission focused. What everybody's focused on is edutainment. I made that word up. Edutainment is, tell me something I don't know and do it in a funny way though, I laugh a lot and I get something I never heard before, right? But the church is to be action oriented. We're supposed to be on the move. We're called to something. We're called to move. Our life is to mean something. And if we're really, really honest, the reason we feel the weight of that
is most of us in many ways are wasting our lives. We're just thinking about ourselves and what's on Netflix next and what's coming this weekend and I can't wait 'til Friday and we've got all that going on and meanwhile, God is working all around us and so I want you to feel the weight of that. I need to feel the weight of that. And now I'm gonna move us to a place where actually it doesn't have to feel heavy. This is actually an opportunity and something that if we step into it there's a whole lot of joy for us on the other side. And so let's break it down. So fill the weight of it. All right, let's take a breath. Now let's all realize, hey, we can do this, and it's actually gonna be a lot of fun. And there's a meaning and purpose that comes with it like nothing else. I wanna show you this first scripture. This is Acts chapter one, verse eight. It's the same account. Jesus is standing on the mountainside and Luke wrote the book of Acts. And here's the way he records it. He's talking about when he will return again 'cause they're asking Jesus is like, "Only the Father knows that." But then he says this, Acts chapter one, verse eight.
Look at this. It says, "But you will receive power "when the Holy Spirit comes on you. "And you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem "and in all Judea and Samaria "and to the ends of the earth." So this is the conversation where Matthew records, he says, "Go and make disciples." Luke records, he says, "You're gonna be my witnesses "while you do that." I'm gonna read it again. And when I get to the part on the screen that is underlined and in bold, I'd like you to read those two words out loud with me. Would you do that? All right, so audience participation, help a brother out. It says, "But you will receive power "when the Holy Spirit comes on you "and you will be, say it with me, "my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria "and to the ends of the earth." Okay, so fill the weight of the call. We're to reach them. How are we to do that? You're to be Jesus' witnesses. So what I'm gonna do over the next few minutes is I'm gonna break this down and I'm gonna take the pressure off and then I'm gonna give you a very simple challenge.
Are you ready? We're called to be his witnesses. All right, first observation. You are not called to be a prosecutor. Let that sink in. How many of you know Christians who think that they're prosecutors? And they just run around pointing at everybody talking about how guilty everybody else is. Don't look around right now. (audience laughs) Just look at me. You're not called to be a prosecutor. In fact, in the Bible, there's one consistent accuser. Do you know who it is? It's the devil. His name is Satan. Do you know what the name Satan literally means? It means accuser. The devil is a lawyer. (audience laughs) I had several really good lawyer friends that are in this service. Love you guys. He's a accuser. He's a prosecutor. That's what he does. In fact, the Bible says that he stands before the throne of God and accuses you and accuses me both day and night. And guess what?
All of us are found guilty. But guess what? Good news, we have a savior who paid it all, Jesus Christ on the cross. Who is King of Kings and Lord of Lords and is worthy who covers us forevermore. And so down with the prosecutor and up with the savior, right? Okay. I'm glad you're happy about that. (audience laughs) Stop being a prosecutor. That's not your role. Jesus did not say, and you will be my prosecutors. And Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria, and to the other most parts of the earth. No, he didn't say that. You will be my what? Witnesses. Okay, let me explain something to you about the Bible. And it says this in the book of James. The Bible is not meant to be a pair of binoculars that we use to look at everybody else. James says the Bible is meant to be a mirror to examine our own lives. In fact, James says, do you know who James is, by the way? The book of James? He's the half brother of Jesus. Remember when I mentioned that blended family thing? He's Jesus' half brother.
Because Joseph was his daddy, and you're like, I thought about the Virgin Mary. She didn't stay that way. (audience laughs) I know a bunch of you come from a Catholic background, I love you. (audience laughs) The Bible says that Joseph and Mary went on to have other children, which means she was, but then she wasn't. (audience laughs) When she was the mother of Jesus, she gave birth to Jesus, she was the Virgin Mary. But after that, her and Joseph had a normal marital relationship, And they had other, they had other children. James was one of those. And James was not a believer in Jesus until after the resurrection. When he saw the resurrected Jesus, which makes perfect sense to me. Because after all, what would your brother have to do? (congregation laughing) To prove to you, I'm divine. Oh yeah, right. I knew you in junior high, calm down, right? (congregation laughing) But the resurrected Jesus is standing before James and James becomes a believer, leader of the New Testament church. Wrote one of the books of the Bible called James.
James says, "Your Bible is a mirror." And so you examine your life in it. It's not a pair of binoculars to prosecute other people with. They're all guilty. Of course they are, so are you. Welcome to the need for amazing grace. Now in the church, we're to hold each other accountable. In the church, we do judge each other. In the church, we do help each other out. We're called to that. That's important. But when it comes to the church and the world, we're not prosecutors. The Bible is a mirror that we use to examine our own lives. And James says what a bunch of us do, it's like, you know, we wake up in the morning with bedhead and we look in the mirror and we go, "Oh, that's bad." And then we walk away and we don't comb our hair. We don't do anything with it. He's like the reason the word is there so that you can look in it and see yourself and make the adjustments you need to make. You're not called to be a prosecutor. Second thing, you're not called to be a defendant. Jesus did not say, "And you will be my defendants." And Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria, and to the other most parts of the earth. And yet a bunch of people think that what you and I are supposed to do is just defend Jesus all the time.
I'm gonna help you with something. I'm not Jesus' defender. He's my defender. Let that sink in. I'm not big enough to defend Jesus. He's my defender. And the gospel doesn't need to be defended. It can take care of itself. Now, if you're a church person and you grew up in Sunday school and you're like, "We're supposed to defend the gospel." Yes, from religious people. Anytime that's mentioned in the New Testament, it's because religious people are forgetting grace. Literally, it's the leaders of the church telling religious people to stop prosecuting. That's how we defend the gospel. It's good news of great joy for all people. There is a Savior who is Christ the Lord. It doesn't need to be defended. We're not on trial. What the gospel needs to do is be unleashed. The church is not called to curse the darkness. The church is called to proclaim the light. And I'm gonna let you end on something. Light beats darkness every time. Do you know what darkness is? It's simply the absence of light. Now, Jesus said, "People don't like light." I mean, you ever walk outside of a movie theater
and it's really bright outside and you're like, "Whoa!" Right? And we think, "Oh, does that what that means?" Kind of. It more means the mirror thing. Think with me. I look awesome in the dark. (congregation laughing) All you hear is this old smoking woman voice. You have no idea what my body of that percentage is, right? Like, I look amazing in the dark. But when the light comes on, you can see my blemishes. You can see my frailties. You can see what might need a little work. The reason that men don't like light, the reason that women don't like light, the reason that mankind doesn't like light is because light exposes. And the reality of who we are is shown. But we don't have to defend the gospel. We just have to proclaim the light and then let the Holy Spirit do what He's gonna do. Now, the amazing thing is He does it, and it's kind of a mystery, but He partners with us. And so, we're at work with Him. Did you notice the verse? You will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you. [BLANK_AUDIO] Witnesses in Jerusalem, Judea, Samarian,
to the other most parts of the earth. So Jesus ascends into heaven and then 10 days later, that's 50 days after the resurrection, the day of Pentecost happens. Think Penta, 550. And on that day, the Holy Spirit comes down. Peter preaches, 3000 people give their life to Jesus and the New Testament church is born. It's the work of the Spirit, but it's the Spirit coupled with our witness. I'm gonna give you one more thing, especially for those of us who grew up in church. How many of you think Jesus had the Holy Spirit since birth, just to show a hand? How many of you think he had the fruit of the Spirit? Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control, just to show a hand? Okay, yeah, Jesus was born with the Spirit 'cause he was not born with ascend nature. He was born with the Spirit. The Son of God, he's God made flesh. God is not one, he's three, he's God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit, and yet all one God. So the Holy Spirit was always with Jesus. He was sinless, he was human and he was also God and that's a mystery. He's not a demigod, part man, part God, he's the God man. He's all of both. And so he had the Holy Spirit and yet there's this moment
right before he starts his ministry where he's being baptized. And you see the Trinity represented at his baptism and the Father speaks from heaven and says, "This is my Son, whom I love, and with you I am well pleased." But the Bible also says, so you have Jesus in the water, you have the Trinity here, so you have God made flesh Jesus, you have the voice, the Father speaking. And then it says that the Spirit, listen to these words, descends upon, it's the same language that we just read in Acts 1, 8. The Spirit comes upon Jesus like a dove. So you have Father, Son, and Spirit right there at the baptism of Jesus. But it says that the Spirit comes on it, it's different language. Okay, here's what I think. I think there are going to be moments in your life when you're gonna pray, when you're gonna make an invitation, when you're gonna be involved in some kind of ministry that way, you're gonna represent the kingdom of God and the Spirit is going to come on you. It's a little different than the Spirit just being in you. The Spirit being in you is about guidance and character. How do I know if I'm a mature Christian? You're a character. If you're a jerk, you're not a mature Christian. In fact, you might not even be a Christian, you might just be a jerk, who's got a little religious talk going on.
There are no jerks for Jesus. There's just jerks. When Jesus changes your life, the Holy Spirit moves in and here's the fruit. I'm gonna quote it again. This is Galatians 522. Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. When you see somebody with those character traits, that's the maturity of the Christian life coming out. That's the Spirit at work. And so the Spirit changes us from the inside out. He's at work in us. He works on our character and as we mature and as we grow in the faith, our character continues to mature and he makes us more and more like Jesus. But then there's this other thing that the Holy Spirit does. And that's not in you. That's when he comes on you. And when he comes on you, it doesn't mean that you yell or that there's lightning bolts coming out of your fingers or your eyes turn into fire and all of a sudden the wind starts blowing like grace. It's not like that. It's like gentle power. Have you ever had a moment like that? Have you ever had a moment?
We won't use me. We'll use Robert Watson or Ricky Jenkins or Meghan Fate Marshman or other people that have spoken here at Sun Valley. They're speaking and you're sitting there and you're like (exhales) Did my wife tell them what was going on this week? (exhales) Did my kid tell them about that conversation and you're (exhales) it feels like they're talking right to me. Now all three of the people I mentioned are very good communicators. They're very talented. But that moment doesn't have anything to do with them. That's the Holy Spirit talking to you. Has there ever been a moment in a church service where you're like, "They're just talking right to me." And you just feel it. And it's like, okay, a good sermon or whatever, but in that moment it was holding on to their level. How many of you know what I'm talking about? Okay, that's the Holy Spirit. There are moments when I'm preaching. I don't have any idea what I'm saying. And what's hard is I got multiple services. (audience laughs) I'm like, I can't do that again. That wasn't me. 'Cause it's just, it's just going.
People always ask me, do you speak in tongues? I'm like, yeah, but it's in English when I'm preaching. (audience laughs) The Holy Spirit's just doing it. If you don't know what's speaking in tongues, they'll say, we'll talk about that another time, don't worry about it. Church joke. But that's the Holy Spirit coming upon you. Does this make sense? Okay, so here's what you need to hear. Bill some pressure about being a witness, not a prosecutor, a defendant. So fill the pressure in the sense of being obedient. But fill zero pressure when it comes to closing the deal. It's not your job, I said this a couple of weeks ago. It's not your job to carry the pressure. It's just your job to carry the presence. Can I be vulnerable with you for a second? Will you guys give me grace? I'm looking for a yes here 'cause it's about to go down. Okay. There's two compliments I love to hear about me, okay? Whoo, big head, Jed. Okay. (audience laughs) The first is, you're not like most pastors. When I hear that, I'm like, oh, thank you. That's like a warm blanket
'cause I know what they mean and it is not positive. And they're trying to tell me something positive. I'll take it. Second thing, I love to hear this and it's less of a compliment for me. It's an affirmation. And I hear this a lot for whatever reason. You just really seem like you're at peace. Do you know what that is? That's the Holy Spirit. I'm sitting there having a conversation, not in a church and the atmosphere changes. It's affirming 'cause I don't have anything to do with me. But Jesus said in my peace, I will leave with you. You know what He was talking about? He was talking about the Holy Spirit. And so I know when somebody's sensing that, feeling that in that moment, the Spirit is at work. Does this make sense to you? Like there's this thing the Holy Spirit does and it's just this calm, strong, there's no weakness about it. But there's also no posturing, there's no arrogance. Jesus is deep, secure, powerful, stellar, gentle, strong piece. So you're not called to be a prosecutor. You're not called to defend it, you don't have to. It can take care of itself, it's very strong. You're called us to be a what? A what?
A witness, what does a witness do? A witness gives testimony. Is there anything wrong with science? It's what a witness does. They should talk about what they've seen and heard. One of those powerful things you can do is just share your story when it comes to your faith in Jesus. I mentioned Ricky, Pastor Ricky Jenkins, will be with us next weekend. He's gonna talk to us about how to share our story. But friends, it's that simple. So here's what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna challenge you to start thinking about one. That's the name of the series. It starts with one. Who's your one? Somebody in your life that doesn't know Jesus. Somebody asked me before service. Well, I got more than one. I'm like me too, let's pick one. 'Cause it starts with one. I'm gonna ask you to do three things. First thing I'm gonna ask you to do is commit yourself to prayer. Will you begin in this mission to reach one? Will you begin to pray for them? Because it's the work of the Holy Spirit. You're not a salesman, you're a witness. I got an ABC, always be closing. I said that last week, no, you know.
I don't worry about any of that. You don't need to worry about any of that. Your job is to be a witness and just let the Holy Spirit work. So here's the three ways I'm gonna challenge you. First, you're gonna pray for the one. Second, you're gonna have a genuine friendship. [BLANK_AUDIO] you're going to invest in them. You're going to be consistent with them. You're going to be a genuine friend to them. There might be intentionality because you want to see them come to faith, but you're not weird. You're just a normal person who happens to be following Jesus. So you ought to have some better character, but you're a work in progress just like me, just like all of us. So prayer, friendship. Here's the third thing, invitation. And here's what I want to challenge you with. Christmas Eve is about six weeks from now. And this year, because the way that Christmas Eve falls and the way that the dates fall, we're going to offer more services across more days than we ever have before. Like we're going to start on the weekend before Christmas Eve. So you're going to have lots of opportunities to invite somebody. So I'm going to ask you to pick one and begin to pray for them, be a genuine friend to them, and then look for an opportunity to invite them to Christmas Eve services. I'm going to tell you what I'm going to do. They come to Christmas Eve, they're going to laugh in the service. They're going to enjoy it, and they're going to hear about God's love for them. And we'll just see what the Holy Spirit does. And I'm telling you, right now, you never know what God might do through a simple invitation. And you don't got to be a weirdo. I promise you right now, you're already, what am I going to say when you're way overthinking it? It's, hey, I'm going to Christmas Eve service at Sun Valley. Would you like to come with us this year? Service is going to be 55 minutes, maybe 57. Sometimes the pastor goes a little long. We're going to end the servicing in Silent Night with candles, you know, and Christmas music. Yeah, just come to church with me on Christmas Eve and let's just see what God does.
All right. So here's what we're going to do. The team's going to bring out some boards at all of our locations. And on the boards, there's these papers that says it starts, several papers, it starts with one. And then at the bottom, there's a little place to write the name of your one. Because here's what we're going to do over the next few weeks. We're going to pray with you for your one. And we're just going to take it all the way into Christmas. And we're going to see what God does. Quick reminder, this Thursday, worship and prayer night. Join us 630 at your campus. Part of that prayer night is we're going to pray that God will work in us and through us. And right now we're going to pray. I'm going to lead us in a word of prayer. And then the worship team is going to lead us in song. And when I say amen, I'm going to ask you at all of our locations. There's boards at the front, at the Gilbert campus. There's also one in the back because the auditorium is a little larger. But as the song is making, I'm going to ask you to get up from where you are. There's markers. And I want to ask you to come to the front and then write a name that God's put on your heart. The name of your one. You might have to wait in line a little bit. It might take a second. But let's make this a moment of worship and decision to answer the call of Jesus on our lives and to be on mission with Him. So I'm going to pray and then we'll get up and move and we'll write down the name of our one. You're going to write it down and just go right back to your seat. You'll leave it and we'll pray over those over the next six weeks or so. Let's pray together. Would you pray with me? Holy Spirit right now, would you give each of us the name of one that we can begin to pray for and continue to be a friend to and at the right time invite? I pray that we wouldn't overthink it. I pray that we would never be anyone's know. We never want to say no for anybody. Don't ever say yes. I pray we would always be somebody's yes and that we would just make the invitation. And I pray that right now would just be a moment of worship. So would you move in us and through us and in that I pray that we would reach one.
