I'm so glad to have all of you with us today at all of our life churches and our network

churches.

We love you guys so much.

Those of you on the other side of computer screens at church online and countries all over

the world, you are a part of our extended family.

And I've got great news for you today.

We've got an amazing guest speaker back to share God's word with us.

Now before I introduce him, I've got to tell you that next week is one of the best weeks

all year long to reach out to people that normally wouldn't go to church and to bring them.

This week we're starting the first week of at the movies where we take really popular

movies and we pull messages out of the movies and teach scripture in a way that really

engages people in a very emotionally and deep and spiritually way.

So I want you to think, who do you know that would normally come to church and bring them

next week as we start at the movies?

Today though we have back one of my very good friends, the pastor of city church in

Seattle, truly one of the most gifted communicators, this guy has an ability to hear from God and

to communicate God's word in a way that just inspires, challenges, convicts and transforms.

Even more so what I love about him is that he truly, deeply loves God.

He's a great husband, he's a great dad, he's a great friend to me and to our church,

which you show love and honor to our good friend, Pastor Judas Smith.

Are you good church?

Happy to be alive, it's a good day to be in church, it's a good day to be in life church.
