Wherever you're tuning in from, we hope you're encouraged by today's message.

How you doing church? Good.

Well, happy Labor Day weekend to you.

And I do want to take a moment and welcome all of those joining us online, our gateway gatherings, our prison campuses, and those of you that may be here for the very first time or here for the first time in a long time.

Church, can we just put our hands together? Welcome everybody connecting with us this weekend.

So glad that you're here.

And as Pastor Mark said, my name is Jelani Lewis and I have the privilege of serving as the campus pastor here at the Southlake campus.

[laughs]

Um, but secondly, I am so excited about the future of Gateway Church.

Come on, aren't you excited today [clapping] about all that God is doing at each of our campuses here? So excited about that.

And today, I'm gonna continue the series that we started a couple weeks ago, uh, with Pastor Daniel.

It's a series called Road Trip, and we're talking about really how our journeys with God, our spiritual journeys, are like a road trip, that there are mile markers and stops that we wanna make along the way.

And, uh, the first weekend we talked about the Holy Spirit and how the Holy Spirit wants to be our guide.

And then last weekend, uh, we talked about a step of obedience.
