0:00.0	Thanks for joining us here at Life Church. We are one church meeting in multiple locations
0:05.7	and reaching around the world with the help of church online. If you have any questions
0:09.7	or you'd like to learn more about us as a church, you can always check us out online simply
0:14.2	by going to Life.Church. We'd love you to stay connected throughout your week and everywhere
0:18.4	you go with the Life Church app available wherever you download your apps from. If you're
0:22.7	joining us here for the first time, we're in the middle of a message we're calling I want to believe
0:26.8	but tackling many of the questions and issues that cause us to be so difficult for us to believe

2:01.5	coming to Life Church South Tulsa. We're also coming to Life Church Albany, New York and
2:07.5	Hittersville, Tennessee in this quarter. We can't wait to spend some time with you guys. If you're
2:13.2	brand new with us, we're actually in part two, a four-part message series that's called I want to
2:20.0	believe in God but I want to believe in God but there are so many people I believe that really
2:27.4	would love to be God followers and want to believe. It seems like there's got to be some kind of a
2:34.0	God but there's a ceiling or a barrier or some reason why they can't fully believe. What I argue
2:42.1	is that these people are not rejecting the true God who we really is in his purest essence but
