SPEAKER_01:I'm going to pray first, so if you would bow your heads with me. God, just thank you so much for this day. Thank you for allowing us to just come here to worship the Almighty, to worship you, God. I just pray over Ryan as he comes up here, and that absolutely none of his words are spoken, but yours instead. I pray that we would just all let the Spirit work in our lives, God. I pray that today would not just be another day that we're in church listening to God's Word, but instead we would actually use that Word and apply that to our lives as Ryan speaks and as we worship. So yeah, God, thank you so much for your son. Thank you for everything you did for us while we were still enemies against you, and you died on that cross for us, God. So yeah, we love you, and it's in Jesus' name that I pray. Amen.
SPEAKER_00:Can we give it up for the worship team and Jesus one more time? Okay. Tommy doesn't like that I use my phone for notes, but I'm not unksat as like you yet, so I get to do this. I know this morning obviously looks a little bit different. And basically, Tommy, I just want to say thank you for really trusting me up here because there may be some new people here. And I can really, I have the power of the mic, so I can really say some things. But basically, I got really close with Tommy about two years ago when we started this Berg worship thing. Basically what happened is we decided to start this Bible study and we were like, we put in our Instagram stories saying like, yo, everyone show up to the LBJ Park tomorrow, tomorrow night, whatever. And we thought maybe like eight people would show, just us and our friends. And we get there, and what turns out is there's 35 people that show up, which is not what we were expecting. So it turned from this, what we thought was going to be a small group, into literally preaching into a crowd. And so the next, I think, day, I went over to Tommy's house, and he's doing his things with sheep, goats, whatever he's got, his chickens. And I'm like, dude, there's 35 people. I don't feel equipped to minister to this many people. I need help, man. And so he was like, all right, well, I'll just start discipling you. We'll meet once a week. And like, but you have to keep up with the work. Like, I'm not going to do it for you. Like, if you miss these certain things, like you're out. So we met every single week for coffee and just like dove, dove into God's word. And he like gave me all these tools to help me and all these different things. And before I met Tommy, like a few years back, I, this relationship with Jesus that I had, like I grew up in the church. I believe Jesus died on the cross for my sins. I believe he did all these things. But he kind of felt very distant from me. It was kind of like, oh, I'm just going to live life, and then when I get to heaven, then I'll know Jesus. I'll get to know him then. But what Tommy really taught me was, no, dude, this man Jesus, he wants to go back to the garden with you, how God and Adam was. He wants to have this one-on-one relationship with nothing between. He wants you to speak to him, and he wants to speak back to you. He wants you to be vulnerable with him, and he wants you to really grow and literally learn who he is. and share this relationship. And he taught me the word betrothed in the Bible. I can't remember where it says it, but it talks about where God's relationship with his people is basically like a marriage, where it never ends. It's not a contract where we don't do something that God wants or loves, and then he just breaks off this contract and never continues to love us. Rather, he's a God that like stays with us even when we do mess up. And so that's what Tommy taught me was like, dude, he wants to like walk with you every single day. And so my goal this morning is we want to everyone to leave here having more desire or a burning desire to get to know the Lord more, not just like know of him at this distant God that's in heaven. We'll see him one day, but actually one that's like, man, I really want to walk with Jesus every single day. Like I want to tell him things. I want him to tell me things. I want to Be vulnerable with him. I want to go through life with him. And so, hold on. Basically, a few years ago, me and my buddy Josh over here, we went to San Diego to see some friends. And we had a buddy, Brooklyn, who's right there, was going to school in Hawaii at the time. And we were in San Diego, so we booked some last-minute flights to Hawaii. And then on the way back, we had a layover in San Francisco, and then back to San Diego. So we see Brooklyn, do all the whatever. We come back to San Francisco, and Josh and I were like, dude, let's just not hop on our next flight, and let's just go hang out in San Francisco, and then we'll figure out how to get back to San Diego somehow. And so we spend the day in San Diego, and there was this night tour of Alcatraz, which is like the old prison. It's like on an island in the middle of the bay. And so on this tour, there's this very beautiful, dark-skinned, foreign girl. And I was like, dude, I'm going to go shoot my shot. She was speaking a different language, so I had this delusional confidence to go talk to her. And so I walk up to her. I'm chatting it up. And then I'm like, oh, where are you from? And she says, oh, I'm from Brazil. And if you don't know, in Brazil, they speak Portuguese. But my nervous self, I was like, oh, so you speak Portugal, which is a whole different country. And she just looks at me like I'm a stupid American. And she goes, well, Portuguese, but yes. And this is all I do right here, right? So I'm like, oh, so you speak Portugal? She says, Portuguese, but yes. And this is all I do. I just go like this. And I just walk away. And Josh is kind of standing over here. He's like... What just happened? He doesn't know what to do. And then my whole point to that story was, I had the desire to get to know that girl more. And although we didn't end up being cellmates for life... in any relationship, the first beginning is the curiosity or desire to get to know that person more. And so it was the same thing with Jesus when I was with Tommy. He kind of, like, dude, this man wants to actually be with you. He wants to hang out with you. He wants to spend time with you. And I was like, oh, dang, I'm curious what my life would look like if I did that. And so... The next thing, you know, if my any relationship, if mine would have worked out, the next step is spending time with that person, like alone, uninterrupted time where you're able to be vulnerable and share things and just spend alone, uninterrupted, uninterrupted time together. And so another little story, my buddy Josh, again, we this was like freshman year and he was like talking to this girl and Braden was with us, too. But he like had this date for some reason. ungodly reason. They wanted to go to the library and have a date. I don't know if y'all do that. Me, I'm not going to do that. But this girl wanted to go to the library with him. And so he had to go. The date was at like 3 o'clock in the afternoon. That's a weird time. And so me and Braden are there. Josh leaves at like 1 to go get ready at his house. And like 2.45 rolls around, and Braden and I were just bored. So we're like, dude, I'm just having this weird craving to go find and read a new book. And so we're like, dude, let's go to the library. And so we go to the first floor and we're looking for things. You know, we don't know what we're looking for. And, you know, what we were looking for just wasn't there. And so we're like, let's try upstairs. And so there's this, go upstairs, there's this big table in the middle of the room. Really weird looking dude with this girl sitting there on this date. And so there's two chairs about 10 feet away from Josh and this girl. And we're like, dude, two chairs next to the window? Like, let's go do that. Let's go sit there. And so it's a library. So if you're 10 feet away from somebody, you can hear everything they say. So this girl and Josh were trying to have this good conversation, get to know each other more. But like Brayden and I are just right there. So it turns from them talking back and forth to them just like reading their own books and saying nothing. And it was the most amazing day of my life. But in that moment, Josh was trying to have this alone, uninterrupted time with this girl. And we just kind of, like, ruined that. But what he was trying to do is get to know this girl more. He was trying to, like, share things, get to know, like, what she doesn't like, what she does like. And it's the same thing with Jesus. Hold on. Where am I at? It's the same thing with Jesus. It's just, like, relationships. Like, for people in here that are in, like, marriage or spouse relationships, If you only spent time with your wife or husband, whatever, like once a week on a Sunday in a group setting for an hour 30, you probably wouldn't know them very well. Some of you might be like, Ryan, that actually doesn't sound too bad. But you wouldn't know them very well. You wouldn't be able to recognize their voice. You wouldn't be able to really, really know them. And so what Tommy taught me also is that Jesus... He modeled this very well in Mark 1.35, this alone time with his father. And it says, I think we have it. Yeah. It says, very early in the morning while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left the house, and went off to a solitary place. And so before any of Jesus' disciples were awake, before anyone was awake, he went to this solitary place, just him and his father. And he did this because he knew Jesus. the importance of spending time with his Heavenly Father. He knew that it was the source of his life. He knew he had all these different things he was going to have to go through, and he needed to be drawn close with his Heavenly Father throughout all of it. And so if Jesus is modeling like that, then we should also do the same. And so... Jesus, He knew how to find the secret place with His Father. He knew how to go into the solitary place. And for me, my secret place is a lot of times just locking myself in my room and just spending time reading God's Word or just talking to Him and listening and really asking God, like, man, what are you trying to speak to me in this chapter or whatever, and just worshiping Him. But it's the secret place. It's where no one else is. It's just me and God. Just like Jesus metaphorically went back to the garden, like how Adam and God were, where they had nothing in between, just them two. Like Tommy also taught me how to do that as well. And so when I found the secret place, I spent just months and months and months, just every single day meeting with the Lord, meeting with the Lord. And what I found out is before all this, I was dealing with this sin struggle in my life that just kept like wearing on me. And I would, you know, like I would try to do all these things to get rid of it. I would try to stop watching this or doing this or delete these apps and whatever. And it would never work. I was always trying on my own. And like those tools are very good to do, like don't get me wrong, but it was like I was trying so hard on my own. And what I should have been doing is letting Jesus do that for me. And so what I figured out when I found the secret place is that I fell so much in love with the man Jesus that I just didn't even want to go do any of these other things. The things I was struggling with, I was like, dude, Jesus, he's so much better than these things. He's so beautiful. I don't even want to go mess with those things. And then another thing I found out is I had this hurt and anger towards my parents from their divorce, and me and my mom, sorry to call you out, we didn't have the greatest relationship. I was kind of a punk. Tommy can also, he's called me that before, because they... When he officiated my mom and stepdad's wedding, he literally left out the part of like, oh, I think Brooklyn's there too, left out the part where you say like, does anyone reject or whatever, object, whatever it's called, because he just thought I was going to yell out something, which I don't know if I did, was or not. Maybe I would have. But what I found also in this secret place is there was healing, and there was, like, from all this hurt and this anger, it just went away, and I was able to find the fullness of joy. And thank goodness me and my mom, we restored this relationship that we had together. And so I found that the fullness of joy, the fullness of healing, the fullness of life, honestly, was found in the presence of Jesus in this secret place, in this alone time. And so when I started to build this relationship with Jesus, hold on. When I started to build this relationship with Jesus, I learned that he's trustworthy. And so a few years back, a couple of buddies and I, actually Josh and my friend Braden right there, and another friend of ours, we just, it was like during COVID, it was like wintertime. And we had just got it done, or getting into cliff jumping, which there's water at the bottom. It's not like we're just jumping off cliffs, but you jump off a cliff into water, basically. And so we go to this one place. We're doing this camping trip or whatever. We go to this one place, and we weren't even staying the night. We were just going to cliff jump and be out of here. So I went up to the front desk lady, and she was like, Or I said, yeah, we're just here to, like, cliff jump, and then we're out of here. And then she looks at me like I'm crazy because she was like, you can't do that. The water's eight feet lower than it should be. And so it's, like, definitely closed. And so whenever me and my friends hear that something's either too dangerous or closed, the only thing we hear is that we're going to have it all to ourselves and no one else is going to be there. It's like the blind leading the blind. So we go to this cliff jump spot, and it's probably, like, 20 feet tall. And so... We all line up and we're just looking down. And Brayden, you know, I was like, there's a rock right there and there's a rock right there. I mean, if we jump in the middle, like, we're good. And Brayden's like, yo, screw this. You guys can do this. I'm out. And so Brayden goes and sits back there. And me, Josh, and our friend Robert, we're just still contemplating this, like jumping off of this cliff for like another 30 minutes. And Brayden's like, all right, screw you guys. I'm just going to do it. I don't know if Brayden had a death wish at the time or whatever, but he was like, I'm over it. Like, I'm just going to jump. And he looks at me, and he's like, yo, man, you'll be right behind me? And I'm like, yeah, dude. And me knowing well enough, this dude just shatters his legs. I'm not jumping after him. And so he jumps, and it turns out the water's about four feet deep up this 20-foot cliff. And so Brayden absolutely... There's a thing in cliff jumping. If you jump and you swoop your feet when you land, you don't just pencil straight down. Brayden didn't know how to do that. And so Brayden just absolutely smokes his legs. He didn't break anything, but he just smokes his legs. And as Brayden being a good friend, he comes up out of the water and he's like, Oh man, you're good! And so I was like, okay. So then I jump. I do the thing where you swoop your legs, but I absolutely... Smoke the bottom of my butt so hard. And I was really like working on my relationship with the Lord at the time and my anger. And so I was like, dude, I'm not going to come out of the water angry at this guy. Like I'm going to whatever. So what I do is I come out of the water and I look at Josh. I'm like, oh man, you're chilling. Like you're good. And then, you know, I asked Josh before I jumped like, yo, you'll be right behind me. And he's like, oh yeah, dude, I'll be right behind you. I don't think this dude jumped for another like 45 minutes. So Brayden and I are just like freezing. And he tried to back out of it. And we're like, dude, no, like you're jumping. But what we figured out about that whole night is that we couldn't trust any of us. We all lost our trust that day. And I know that's like a silly example, but it is true. When we put our trust in anything other than Jesus, a lot of times, or all the time, it fails. Because we're human, we mess up. We're going to let people down. People are going to let us down. If we put our trust in a job, then we lose that job. And it's like, okay, now we've got to go find something else. And it's kind of like all over the place. But what I found in the secret place is Jesus, he was trustworthy. Like, you can look at his whole track record, and it's perfect. And there's been times in my life where I'm going through something I don't understand at the time while I'm going through it, and there's a lot of things I still don't understand that I went through. But there have been times when I look back, and I'm like, oh, man, like, I saw Jesus was right there next to me. Like, I saw his plan for this. I, like, knew I can look back, and he was like, man, this had to happen, like, for this reason or whatever it is. Not all the time, but for some of the things that I've gone through. And so... In Isaiah 26, 4, it says, Trust in the Lord forever, for the Lord himself is the rock eternal. And I really like the part where it says, The Lord himself is the rock eternal. And it reminds me of the story in Matthew where it talks about the wise builder and the foolish builder. Basically, one dude builds his house on solid rock, this foundation of his house, and the other guy builds it on sand. And basically... When the fire and the storms and the wind come, this dude that built this house on sand, it all comes crashing down. And basically what it's trying to say in this parable is when those storms happen in our lives, if our foundation is built in other things other than Jesus, a lot of the times, not our lives start to fall apart, but it's like the job thing. If you put your trust in a job, your foundation's built on this job, but your job goes away, it's like, okay, now what do I go to? And it kind of be like all over the place. But I found... is that when my foundation, I learned to trust Jesus and built that foundation with him, that when I would go through those storms, I was able to still maintain rich, deep intimacy with him. And I knew that, yes, some of those things, very hard to go through. I'm not saying it makes it tons easier or the pain is not there, but it does make it a lot better when you know that you have someone right next to you, by your side, that you can trust going through it with you. And so it kind of brings me back to the story of the disciples when they were in the boat and the storm comes. And Jesus, he's just taking a nap, chilling. And these disciples are freaking out like, yo, Jesus, there's a storm. Help us. And he comes out just nonchalant, just, yo, chill. I got this. And I know the story is trying to talk about how God's in control of our lives and he has everything. But it also does go to show that Jesus wasn't just over here on some island away from the boat in the storm. He was right there in that storm with them. And so... Like our relationship, it has to be built, like any relationship, it has to be built on trust. If you have a relationship that you can't trust the other person, it's very difficult to be vulnerable. It's very difficult to want to spend time with that person. It's very difficult to lean on them in times of need. And so that's why it's so important. to have a relationship with Jesus built on trust. And so kind of going over what I was talking about was I learned to just find a secret place with the Lord every single day. And I learned how beautiful He is, that He is trustworthy. And then I was able to put my trust in Him. And then I was able to go through these different storms and go through my life just incorporating Him into everything. And so, for example, when I was out in California for a little bit and I was surfing all the time, I was horrible at it. And I would just get pissed at the waves all the time because they just kept making me go over or doing whatever. And it turned into not just me out there surfing, but I learned to incorporate Jesus into my surfing, which sounds weird, but I would go out and I would just sit in the water and just talk with the Lord and just listen and just see the different creation that he had. And so the surfing, it didn't just turn into me punching the waves, getting pissed. It was me hanging out with my Heavenly Father. And so... like a drive to work or a drive to wherever. It doesn't have to be just like a Monday morning. It doesn't have to be this like sad drive to work. Like it can actually be a time where you spend time with the Lord and you can find the fullness of joy first thing in the morning. And so I want us all this morning to walk away with like deeper intimacy with the Lord, even if it's just by a little bit. And so one thing I think, hold on. One thing I think is overlooked sometimes with our walk with the Lord is adoration and worship for Him. If we're in a relationship, if you adore the other person, you tell them they're beautiful, you tell them that you love them, it creates greater intimacy with each other. And some people call their spouses honey, babe. I don't know what Tommy calls Kathy, and I don't want to know. Maybe like snickerdoodle or something, but... When you adore somebody, when you tell them they're beautiful, when you tell them that you love them, it creates that deeper intimacy. And so there's a story in Luke 7, and basically Jesus is in this room, and this Pharisee, basically a Pharisee, just think of someone who has their tie on tight, knows the Bible very well, knows all the verses, but twists it to use it for their own good. These Pharisees, they were not on Team Jesus. They would try to catch him in different lies and different things. So this Pharisee walks in, and he's kind of like, ah, Jesus is in the room, like, Big deal. Like, what's the big deal? But this prostitute woman, the sinful woman, she walks in and she sees Jesus and she runs over to Jesus. She falls on her knees and she pours out this, she breaks this alabaster jar and pours out this oil and starts wiping Jesus's feet with her hair and her tears. And basically it's her giving Jesus her everything. And she just goes and just worships and adores him. And so, um, Like, a lot of times we think of that person that's like going crazy in worship or crying or like whatever. And that's kind of what this Pharisee was doing. He was like, Jesus, like, do you not know who this woman is? Like, she's like a sinful woman. Like, what is she doing? And what you see is that Jesus actually liked her offering more. Why? It's because it had nothing to do what was on the outside and everything to do what was on the inside. She made a complete scene. She, you know, she fell down. She looked completely like ridiculous. But what you see at the end, is that it's kind of funny. She leaves with what it says is Jesus forgave her of her sins. When she walks out, her sins were forgiven. The ironic part is she never, in that story, you ever see that she asked for her sins to be forgiven. But Jesus knew exactly what she needed in that moment, and all it took for her was to give Jesus her everything and just completely be undignified and just adore and worship her king. She was like, yo, Jesus is in the room. I can't miss that. Like, I have to go and worship him. And so... she walked out completely different. She walked out with her sins forgiven, and the Pharisee, he walked out the exact same. And so I don't want, I'm not saying we're Pharisees, but I'm saying I don't want any of us to walk out of here like the exact same this morning. And so I just want the worship team to come up, and this morning we're going to, metaphorically speaking, go back, try to go back to the garden with Jesus. We're going to just worship in a dorm with nothing in between. And so Maybe you came here this morning because of Berg worship. Maybe you saw an Instagram post, or maybe you just got dragged here by your parents or whatever. Or maybe you're here and you don't even know who Jesus is. I just want to... Basically, a simple gospel is this. God created mankind, and he created them to be in a relationship with him. And he gave them a choice. Because he's a loving father, not a dictator, he gave them a choice. And he said, basically, you can choose to love me or not. And so because mankind, we're messed up people, we chose to not love him. And because of that, sin entered into the world. And it created this gap between us, like how me and Grayson, this gap between us. And basically, because God loves us so much, he wanted to bridge that gap. We needed something to bridge that gap. We couldn't do it on our own because sin entered the world, and sin is basically just falling short of God's standard. And so we're never able to do it on our own. We're never able to be perfect like God is. But he sent his perfect and holy son, Jesus, to die on a cross and to, metaphorically speaking, bury our sins into the ground. And then he rose three days later so that we can live a new life and bridge this gap between us and we can have this relationship with him. And so I don't know how many people have done that. I'm not here to make you doubt your faith or that you're not in a relationship with Jesus or whatever. But I do. Tommy does this. and I want to model it, is he kind of leads us into this prayer of repeating. And so I just want us all to bow our heads and close our eyes. And then I just want, if you've never accepted Jesus into your heart and you want to do that this morning, it's super easy, and I'm going to lead us into that. Maybe you've heard me speaking. You're like, yo, this fullness of joy, this healing, this freedom from what Ryan was struggling with, it sounds appealing. I want that. I just want you to repeat after me. You can do it in your head. You can do it out loud. Whatever you want to do. But I just want to lead us into that. So just repeat after me. Jesus, I know I'm a sinner. I know I've messed up. And I'm sorry. But I believe that you came down to earth and you died on a cross for me. And I receive your forgiveness. And I receive your Holy Spirit into my heart. And I want a relationship with you. And one last thing, Jesus. I love you. And thank you for saving me. With eyes still closed and head still bowed, if you said... that prayer and really believed it, I want you to know that you've just entered into a new life. You're not walking out of here the same. Basically what we say as Christians, you go from death to life. Now you're on your way to heaven. You're on your way to a relationship with Jesus. You've entered into that now. And so I kind of want to just pray for that real quick. So Lord, I just thank you for sending your son to die on a cross for us, even though we didn't deserve it. Thank you for bridging the gap that we can actually walk with you like how Adam walked with you in the garden. That we don't have to try our hardest to be good enough or to buy performance or saying the right things or memorizing enough verses or whatever it is, Lord, that you paid for it all. And so... God, I just thank you for that. If there's anyone that just accepted you into their heart, God, that you would just reveal yourself to them in every single way, Lord. And if they need someone to talk to, that they would get the courage to come up to one of us after and just maybe we need to, like, if they want prayer for or just to give them a hug or just encourage them, Lord, I just pray that you would give them the courage to do that, Lord. And so, Jesus, as we enter into this next segment of this morning, that you would just... Help us to not hold back. Let us not have fear of man to what the person on the left or the right thinks about us, that we would just come and worship and adore you like the sinful woman did in Luke 7. We don't want to hold back our feelings. We're not going to hold back us not crying. If we need to cry, if we need to do whatever, Lord, that we just want to do that, and we want to come to you with nothing in between. And so, Jesus, we... We love you, and we love you, and we thank you. It's your name we pray. Amen. Okay, so what we're doing for this last segment, every single time at bird worship, we try to, as much as we can, incorporate what we're actually talking about and what we talked about today. And... So what we're going to do is the offering plate, buckets, dudes, they're going to come around. Y'all can come right now if you want. For like the first minute, they'll probably be done by the time I'm done talking. But we're just going to take three to four minutes to just be with Jesus on your own. Maybe like whatever you came in here with, if you came in here with like depression, anxiety, a broken marriage, like whatever it is, I want us to just like... come to Jesus with that like even if you just be like yo Jesus I'm right here I'm struggling with this like this is what I need maybe you're someone that you don't even know what you need this morning and you came in here like yo I got no idea like we can literally tell Jesus that so what we're going to do these three to four minutes we're going to be just as vulnerable as possible with Jesus and then after that what we're going to do is we're going to tell him how much how beautiful he is and how much we love him and we're going to like let the lyrics guide us through that um But I don't want any of us to walk out of here the exact same. But it does take something from you. The band can't do it. I can't do it for you. It takes completely getting undignified, just like the simple. Not necessarily with physical posture. If it takes that, do it. But just being like, yo, Jesus, here I am. This is me. This is everything. And so... I don't want us to walk out of here the same. I want us to walk out of here different. And I want to encourage you and tell you that we're worshiping Jesus not for what He can do for us, but for what He already did. Because the reality of it is, is that he really came down to earth, and he really suffered, and he really wore a crown of thorns on his head. He was hung on a cross with nails in his feet and nails in his hands, and he was whipped, he was beaten, and he really died. But guess what? Is that he really rose again from the dead, and he's really living and breathing and active today, and he wants a relationship with you. And... And he doesn't want to just be this distant God. He's not a God of condemnation. Don't be scared to come to him with everything. He's a God that died on a cross with his arms wide open. And so those arms are wide open this morning. And so it's just three, two, one, go.
SPEAKER_01:As y'all start to stand, as we start worship again, I just encourage y'all to worship however you feel led to worship, whether that means raising a hand, listening to the lyrics, or singing along with us, or just straight up reading the words on the screen, taking it in. Worship however you need to worship, because there's not one set motion or one set structure of worship. So, yeah, let's just sing out how beautiful Jesus is and how much we love him.
SPEAKER_02:Like flames of fire I know that your head Is white as wool And I know that your voice Sounds like water Jesus, you're beautiful And I know that your eyes Are like flames of fire Like flames of fire Sounds like water, Jesus, you're beautiful.

Wow. Submit it. Submit it to your great design.
SPEAKER_01:Thank you so much for this day. Thank you for church. Thank you for this building. Thank you for every single person in here, God. I just pray as we leave, we can apply what Ryan taught and read from to our lives, God. I just pray that everything he said would make sense to us. And if it doesn't, that we would ask out, reach out to someone, God, that we would be able to know that. God, I just thank you for the worship. I thank you for Ryan speaking. Thank you for every single person in this room and the work you're doing in their lives. Once again, God, I just pray for all the disasters that's happened, God, the Kerrville, that people would just not blame themselves. They would not try to find reason that they were in the wrong, God. God, thank you once again for your son, Jesus, on the cross. And I pray that if some of us made that decision today, that we would reach out and tell people and celebrate because the angels in heaven are rejoicing right now because of that, God. So yeah, we love you, and it's in Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
SPEAKER_00:Amen. Okay, so two things. One, we're about to say Tetelestai, which means it is finished. We all say it together. And after that, just like our normal worship gathering nights that Berg Worship does, we always take a family photo. So we want to take a photo with you guys. Sergio, you're probably going to have to come up here. Where's my phone? Yeah, Sergio, you come over here. Do you have your phone? Basically, we're going to say Tetelestai on three, and then after that, just stay there, and we're going to take a photo with you guys. So yeah, three, two, one, Tetelestai!
