Well, my was just, have Louis stay up here, you know?

It's really an honor to have him introduce you,

but I just rather him teach, you know?

Maybe you wouldn't, but I would, because he's the best preacher on the planet,

best pastor on the planet, amen.

So grateful to get to be on his leadership and part of his church.

You know, it is tough to be, you know, fill in his shoes and step up here when people roll through our house,

such an amazing communicator pastor, and then have to get up with there up here when everybody thinks that Louis is going to be teaching.

Can you just fill my pain for a minute?

Like, he just like, you know, just kind of connected with me for a few minutes, and then just feel sorry for me, if you will.

But, I don't want the aww, that's too far, that was too far.

But then last week, I heard he was teaching on hell.

I was like, well, I've actually never heard a straight message on hell, and that seems pretty heavy, pretty intense,

and I'm not sure how that's going to go, so maybe that would be a good week to follow him up.

And then I heard the message, and it was one of the best messages I've ever heard of my life, and it is shaped the way I've thought,

and hopefully will shape the way I live going forward.

I'm so grateful for the series that we're in, so grateful to be under the teaching of last week's message.

If you weren't here, you definitely need to go to the podcast, check that out, because it's just so powerful.

And this series that we are in, it's just something special.

We're in a special season at PCC and what God is doing, and my hope for today, and it's not what it just be,

it's special for some other people, or for the church and everybody else.

But my hope for today is to be a really special day for you.
