If you wouldn't mind at all of our search locations, would you stand to your feet?

As you're standing, I want to ask you a question today and before you answer, I want to kind of explain where I'm going. I want to ask you

how many of you are here?

How many of you are here?

Not just in the building or not just watching on YouTube or watching it search online, but you're actually here

present in the moment right now. If you're here, would you just say I'm here?

Those of you watching online just type it in the chat type in I'm here. In fact, wherever you're from all over the world

If you'll just tell us in the chat, I'm here watching wherever and tell us wherever you're watching. If you're here

I just like to tell you welcome. I'm so honored and

so thankful

that you're here with us in this moment and what I'd like to do is I want to take a moment with you here just to acknowledge and thank God

that we have the freedom

to gather together

both physically and online as disciples of Jesus to feed on the bread of life

the living Word of God

standing in the presence of the same spirit that

raised Jesus from the dead to worship the Lamb of God who was slain for the forgiveness of our sins.

I want to welcome you here

in this holy moment. I am so glad that you're here

and the reason I say that is because unfortunately some of you won't be here for long

some of you won't be here for long. You may still be here physically

but mentally or emotionally your attention will be somewhere else
