Brayden (0:17)

Well, good morning. Welcome to Real Life Church. My name is Pastor Brayden, I'm the youth pastor here. We just want to welcome you, if we would, take a second, let's welcome all those watching online. Come on now. Oh my, no, come on, second service. Come on, second service.

Now, I understand if you don't have a lot of enthusiasm because you might be a Texas fan, and that's okay, right? There's a past today, but we just want to welcome you guys. If you are a guest in this room, would you just wave at me, if it's your first time here at Real Life Church this morning, any, anybody, come on, right here. Come on, give it up for our first time guest this morning.

Come on, welcome. If you would, if you are a first-time guest, go ahead, take out your phone. You'll see on the seat back in front of you, there's a disc. You can tap that with your phone. A digital connection card will pop up. We just asked that you would fill that out. We just want to say thank you for coming. We won't blow your email up or anything like that, but we do want to connect with you. And so on your way out, there is a big tent out there. If you haven't been there yet, go ahead, stop by there. We got a free gift for you just to welcome you for coming to Real Life Church on this Sunday morning. Give it up for our guests again this morning in real life. Come on.

Next week is Jersey Sunday. So rep your team, college, NFL. Even if you're a Michigan fan, you can still rep it. That's okay. I got nothing to say about them this week because they had to buy, so the Lord's protecting them.

But yeah, rep your team, Bucs, whatever you guys want. We want to, we'll have some photo ops. So we just want to celebrate the season and the series, The Family Playbook that we are in. It just makes sense. And then October 25th is RLC 101 And so if you haven't joined the team yet, if you're not plugged in serving, that'll be after third service. Child care is provided, lunch is provided. You can sign up on Church Center. We believe that you are created to be in the game, amen. Nobody wants to be the third string on the sideline. Okay, unless you're playing for Michigan, you might be a tight end now. I don't know. Sorry, my Michigan jokes are too much this morning. But yeah, RLC 101 So if you're not plugged in, join the team. You'll learn about the mission, vision, and values here at Real Life Church.

So yeah, so are you guys ready to give this morning? We're trying to give dad enough time to preach. So this is the portion in our service where we bring our tithes and our offerings. And I just want to say thank you for your generosity. A couple weeks ago, we had one night at Youth, and I'll share some stats. We don't serve stats. Stats serve us because every number is a person. Every person has a story, and every story matters to God. And so we had 151 students. We had four salvations and four baptisms at one night a couple weeks ago.

And so we just want to say thank you for your generosity. Thank you for what you are sowing here. You're changing a whole generation. You may not see it firsthand, but God is moving. You see some of these boys on the front row got baptized, said yes to Christ. God is changing their lives. And it's because of your generosity being able to make that happen. And so your ways to give are on the screen, livereallife.com, frontslashgive, on Church Center. You can go to the giving station in the back. We don't pass buckets or you can text to give. So Father God, we love you, we praise you. Thank you, Lord, for the giving hearts of your people.

Thank you, Lord, that when we sow into what you want, and we are in obedience with you, Lord, your kingdom is advancing, Lord. And not only does your kingdom advance, Lord, I pray that you would put a special blessing over every single person who gives this morning. Lord, we love you and we praise you. In Jesus' name, amen.
