I'm excited to share the story of Jesus and his love with you every time we gather if you are new tonight first of all you are a guest we're so

super grateful that you're here we take a few minutes and go to this book, The Bible, which we believe is

ultimately the story of God. It's actually not so much a collection of morals and

concepts and ideas. It's a story of God's love for you and for me and it's

it's the greatest story ever told and uh...

Creed too is amazing but this is, I just got to say that, I is, dear God, I wept three times.

I just, I don't know if that's offensive to you because there's pulverizing in it and boxing but I wept so much I don't know why I just thought of that but man

God's good I don't think I've ever promoted a movie but I just I just it came out of my heart

So we're gonna go to Luke chapter 15. If you have a Bible great if you don't it'll be up on the screen and can I just say

since it's tis the season of Thanksgiving and grateful. I am so grateful for this man. I'm grateful

That Philip Farel is my friend first of all, but this is one of the kindest most gentle loving caring considerate and

ridiculously gifted humans I have ever met in my whole life and Philip Ferrell we love you. We are so

I love you and he's not feeling good he's got a little bit of a cold but that won't stop him from lead worship

So when I'm when I'm done speaking Philip and the team will come back and we'll sing some songs about God and you know one of the

coolest things I hear that people will come to the Saban or join us in

services in Seattle and they'll leave saying you know what I feel better I feel better and maybe you know it's more than that but can I just say I actually believe that you're going to leave tonight just feeling better and that shouldn't be a belittled in any way.

I think we do need to feel better about ourselves,

better about life, better about our future.

And I'm just believing if you came in here

a little down or discouraged or distraught or overwhelmed. I'm just believing

that there is a God who loves you so much that he is going to give you a new outlook and

maybe a new purpose and new passion you can imagine the amount of issues
