I'm The All right, who's glad to be in church today, anybody?

How about we give Jesus some praise? Just start

right off the bat and give him some praise today. Amen. Good to see you guys. Give me a moment

just to look straight in the camera and say hello to all of our campuses, our locations across

Alabama and Georgia, of course, to the men and women in the Alabama Department of Corrections.

What an honor it is to be in your life, life, in our life. And so we don't consider you a project. You are our church family. God bless you guys today. And, of course, we know that we have people that are watching online or later on demand. We're glad you're along for the ride. But I want to give a very special welcome to everybody who's here for the very first time,

maybe even the events of this week, have just drawn you to the church.

You came to the right place today.

How about we put our hands together, everybody, and say a big hello.

God bless you guys today.

And for those of you guys who watch on demand, I would encourage you guys to watch the whole

service, not just the message.

You get that option whenever you watch our services to watch just the message.

But if you just watch the message, you'll miss this beautiful moment where we reflected and

we prayed that Pastor Mark led us through in the wake of the murder of Charlie Kirk and

all the events that have taken place in our culture. And I want to go on record that my heart and prayer

or prayers are with, Erica and the family and really all that have been affected by

the tragedies this week. Can we put our hands together? Amen, everybody. And I also want

to say how much I honor and love Pastor Mark. He wasn't even supposed to be here today. This was a week that we had scheduled months ago for me to speak. But when all the things happened, he called says, I'm coming home. I said, I got it, my brother. He says, no, I'm coming home. I want to be with the people of Church of the Highlands. Let's show some love to Pastor Mark and Jill, everybody.

God bless you, sir.

I love you.

And of course, we're in this series called The Goodness of God.
