I love you church it is so I just feel so blessed and feel so privileged to have

opportunity to share the story of Jesus with you yes I believe it's the

greatest story ever told it's incredible and you know I'm

standing right here in our Kirkland auditorium I know we're not totally

supposed to say where we are and where we're shooting and whatever but I'm looking

at 2,250 seats and only about eight of them are filled

maybe 7, 6.

And it's an interesting feeling to look around this auditorium

and it's essentially empty.

But yet to know that our effectiveness and our ability to serve you, serve your neighbors,

serve loved ones, new people joining the church is astronomically

higher and more efficient and more effective and for that we're so grateful.

Church Home only exists to efficiently and effectively serve people as they are on their

journey of faith. Jesus as our hero, our savior, our model. And so people keep asking, when is the church going to reopen?

It never closed.

The church's people.

It's not 2,250 seats in Rose Hill and Kirkland, Washington. It's just not. The church

continues to thrive and grow in Houston, Texas, Seattle, Washington, Los Angeles,

Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, I don't know why I thought of Rio,

I just want to go to Rio and haven't been, but God's doing so many amazing things in church home.

Here's the title of my message tonight.

A prescription for pain.
