Well I hope you all had an amazing Thanksgiving week.

I want to tell you next week I'm starting a brand new message series called Come to Worship.

Just as the wise men came to worship Jesus, we're going to turn our hearts toward Christ like never before to celebrate the birth of our Savior Jesus Christ.

In doing so, we're going to look at four different postures of worship one each week.

We're going to learn why we lift up holy hands to God to reach out and experience Him.

We're going to talk about bringing our gifts to God in an active, humble worship.

We're going to learn about kneeling our knees and bowing before God in an intimate sacrificial cry of praise.

And we're going to learn to pour out our hearts, bring our gifts, lift our hands, pour out our hearts and kneel our knees.

I cannot wait to share with you what God has put on my heart that starts next week.

Today though, you're going to hear from one of my best friends, Pastor Sam Roberts.

He oversees all of our life church campuses and he has a powerful message called unlikely.

Would you please join me in welcoming Pastor Sam Roberts.

Well I want to welcome everybody out at all of our life church.tv locations, those of you at our network churches.

And of course from across the globe at church online it is always a pleasure to have you with us.

Now my name is as Pastor Craig said, Sam Roberts.

I'm one of our directional leadership team members and I am acutely aware of the pressure that comes from standing up here.

In fact last week at 1057 AM central standard time.

I got a text from my mama and she said, hmm, I hope you're bringing your A game next week because Pastor Craig is on fire with his love song thing.

Like man, okay now look, I don't have any palm trees we're going to be talking about.

No fangs, no pomegranates, no man's rakes.

So don't have anything like that today but we do have a very special message.

But before we get to that I do want to say as Pastor Craig just said, he is going to be back next week.
