Hey everybody, welcome to church.

I'm so excited that you're here joining us,

whether you are in Los Angeles or Seattle,

somewhere on the East Coast, or wherever you are in the world,

so pumped that you took time out of your schedule to be a part of the church home experience.

My name is Elijah Waters if we haven't met before. I'm one of the pastors here in Los Angeles and I'm just excited to be here because honestly you're about

to hear amazing news about an amazing God that loves you so so much if it's your

first time ever being with us don't worry we're not here to tell you you're a bad

sinner, we're not here to tell you that God's disappointed with you.

We're here to encourage you, to build you up, and honestly, I believe these moments that we have together are really going to bring a lot of hope and encouragement and love to your life.

So thank you, whether you're joining from the Church Home TV app,

or maybe you're watching on your cellular device, maybe you're on YouTube right now or

Twitter or Facebook or Instagram. If you are joining us from MySpace, well you're not joining us from MySpace.

We don't utilize that platform.

Nobody does.

Maybe someday we'll get church on on Tik-talk

and then my kids will actually be a part of church.

But I'm excited that you're joining us and again my name's Elijah. I'm so excited for the few moments that we have together and listen if any time during this service you need prayer you have questions about things.

After the service, make sure and check out pastor chat.

You can access pastor chat on our church website.

It's right there on the home page, churchhome.org,

or you can look at the little pastor chat icon right there
