All right, what is up, everybody? Welcome to Laypoint. Glad you're here.

I want to welcome all of our campuses and those of you that might be joining us online as well.

So grateful that we all get to do this together.

Man, it's been kind of a crazy week, hasn't it?

Winter storms blowing in all over the country.

It took me nine hours to get here this weekend.

It was kind of crazy, but nothing compared

to what's going on in Southern California right now. Many of you know that we used to live there,

and so there's a lot of friends and churches that I'm a part of out in that place, and just been

praying for all those who have been affected are still going through a lot of stuff.

So I just wondered if before I get started today, would it be okay with you if we just pause and pray for all those folks?

No, let's do that.

Father, right now, I just pray that in some supernatural way, that you would just speak to the hearts of people in southern

California that would feel the prayers of people in Texas from this place right now.

Would you give them peace in their heart?

Would you let them know that you really are Emmanuel God with us?

No matter what comes into our life you're there

Father I pray for the churches in the area some have lost their houses of worship but they haven't lost their church

I pray that the church would rise up and be the hands and feed of Jesus to lots of people and I pray for all the first responders, people that are on front

lines fighting this crazy fire. Pray for the winds to die down. I pray for people that are

trying to help people in crisis and just do it on the fly. And I pray for all those families

that have lost loved ones and have lost everything worldly anyway, God. And I pray that it those families that have lost loved ones and have lost everything.
