Thank you so much for that very gracious introduction, evidence not of our impact, but evidence of cornerstones, gospel driven grace. Amen. And before we start, I just want to give a shout out this morning to Mom and Dad. Mom and Dad, can you just stand up?
You should have, raised your hand just now, they were too embarrassed. All right. this, thank you. Mom and Dad, they are just epic leaders in the kingdom.
And you don't hear about it because they serve in China and Asia. And really, I can truly say without them, I won't be standing here. So, Really, truly grateful for epic people God put in our life. The sermon this morning is the family God's arena for authentic gospel leadership, and we mean authentic in terms of expression of the gospel, but also authentic in an arena in terms of the developing of authentic leaders in God's kingdom.
It really is sermon 3 of a 3-part sermon. But there's this culmination, I thought, given limited time, that this, this is really what I sense the Lord is wanting us to hear this morning. And it's very much really more of a story of my own journey into the gospel into authenticity and having Christ transformed my heart. So this morning really is nothing more than just, part of the process that Kathy and I, our family have been just walking through....
