Well, I want to say hello to our extended life church family and tell you guys thank you so much for

joining us every week. If you're watching or listing right now, you're probably watching on YouTube, iTunes, the app, the

Life Church website or somewhere else. And what we're going to do for the next four weeks is something a little bit different.

And I want to tell you why it's different and then kind of tell you what we're going to do. Right now at Life Church,

we're doing a four week message series that we do every year. We've done it for probably, I don't know, gosh, probably 18 years or so.

It's called at the movies. And what I do is actually teach scripture and let movies illustrate the scripture.

So we talk a little bit about what God's Word says and then we let movies kind of bring emotion and illustrate the teaching from God's Word.

And what's really cool is we see tons and tons and tons of people that normally wouldn't come to church actually come during this

message series. What's different is we're not allowed to actually show these messages after the fact because the

movies in them. And so if you are interested, maybe if you live somewhere else would like to view them, we've got 75 or 80 different

opportunities. You can watch it live during the week at church online. You can just go to our website at

www.life.church and click on it will tell you when the next live message is. And those will play during the weekend and they

go away so we can stream them live, but we're not allowed to show them on the archives later on. So what I wanted to do is

something really different and kind of give you a little behind the scenes glimpse at what I've been reading in scripture lately.

I also want to tell you that before we dive into that today that every month we actually release a leadership podcast,

it's a teaching that I do, our mission at Life Church is to lead people to become fully devoted followers of Christ. And I actually like the word

lead. Jesus in my opinion was the greatest leader who ever lived. And I think they were all called to be leaders to lead people to Christ.

And so we want to get better in our leadership. You can go to life.shirt slash leadership podcast. You can subscribe on iTunes or watch on YouTube.

And so anyway, I want to invest in you as a leader and hopefully that'll make a difference. So here's what I want to do over the next four weeks is I want to do something I'm going to call the last four,

the last four. Our church created the Uversion Bible app. And this was really cool about this is not only is it on 240 million devices, we've been blessed to give it away for free, but the Uversion Bible app is really revolutionized the way I study scripture.

And so it's amazing to me the gift that we get to give to people is giving back to our staff, our team, our church is we get to use this tool to grow. So every day I do at least one, I'm used to doing multiple reading plans in the Uversion Bible app.

And if you don't use it, I recommend you try it, but there's a way you can actually highlight a verse on there, you just kind of click on it and then you can go back and see all the different verses that you highlighted. And what I wanted to do is just share with you very few thoughts.
