Lonnell Williams

take your seat.

My name is Lonnell Dawson-Williams.

I am the executive pastor here at 2819 Church.

It's all good.

Appreciate you.

It's all good.

Listen, I'm grateful for this amazing opportunity as we continue in the series of Acts chapters 1 and chapters 2.

I have been given the amazing assignment on this day to continue in that process.

But before I do, I want to

kind of jump ahead of myself a little bit.

And I want to share with you something that has been very near and dear to this house.

In fact, at the beginning, at the change of the name to 2819 and the birth of the church, Pastor Philip was inspired and instructed by the Holy Spirit to preach out of the entire book of Matthew.

And how many people were blessed by that entire encounter?

To walk verse by verse, line by line, word by word through the entire book of Matthew, we saw so much take place in the life of this church that it would be, I think, spiritual malpractice on our behalf not to commemorate what God has done, is doing, and will do in the life of the church.

And so what we decided to do was look back over all of the sermons that

every single sermon throughout the three-year period and put together a book that we want you to be able to take home and keep.

And it is the book of Matthew.

And it is an amazing coffee table book that you'll be able to get.

You can actually purchase it if you want.

We're going to pre-order a few for the team, but I really want you guys to lean into this because it's something as a keepsake.
