Maybe you always stream, or maybe you're watching today because you've got a friend with a boat because it's Memorial Day weekend. I wish I had a friend with a boat. Yeah, if you live in the U.S., have Memorial Day. Hey, but wherever you're watching from around the world, we are so glad that you're here. Now, that song beautifully captures some of the claims that Jesus makes about Himself. And while there are a lot of things that Jesus said that almost everybody loves and agrees with, like, bless for the peacemakers, do unto others. Yeah, even people who aren't sure what they believe about Jesus can usually get behind that version of Jesus or the image of the man petting the lamb. That's right. But Jesus, when He says, I am the way and the truth and the life. Yeah, not a way, not my truth versus your truth, the way, the truth, the life. Those are big words, maybe even challenging words. Yeah, and if we were sitting across a table over coffee or a beer, I'd want to ask you, like, how do those words hit you? Do they feel comforting? Do they feel offensive or confusing, like something you maybe want to believe but aren't sure that you can? But since you're on the other side of the screen, we'll just say this. No matter how you feel, you've picked a great week to be here today. Yeah, I'm going to start by connecting with God through songs right now around those statements of who Jesus truly is. Let's go. Jesus, we sing together. And it's worthy of all praise. And I call you Jesus.
