About playing country music, you don t realize that after a while if you re not successful you re really just playing in bars a lot. [laughter] and it s something that it took us going back to church, we were raised in church, our dad s a pastor a and us finding church as an adult and finding faith for ourselves for us to realize we re so much happier doing it for the lord than trying to just do it to make money. i love what you had to say, in the beginning you thought it would be limiting to do gospel or christian music and it s been completely liberating for you. it s been the opposite. i mean, just writing songs when you re not really out there partying and doing a lot of the stuff, getting to write about jesus and just take scripture and almost p plagerize it in a way. the birth place of country music is a church, right. i love what you say, sometimes it s country songs about jesus so it s not that s right. you re expanding the genre,
Not wanting. that s right. my wife, she found faith as an adult. she said something that stuck with me. which is that maybe your music would lead somebody to read the lyrics and the lyrics would lead somebody to know who jesus is. i think that s partially our hope, jesus said i came for the sick, not the west i think if we find not the well. if we find the space that country music fans like, that s fine. we re thankful to be out loud about our faith. we know you talked about this, your performance is innovative, it s different. you bring in humor. you re part of the show beyond the music. this morning you re going to share with us some of what we can see when anybody goes to see cain. today, you re going to be playing for us, i believe, honest offering. . we re playing a song cad i m so blessed. here we go. i m so blessed. is anybody left this
Who was crucified. he has been raised. he is not here. look, there is the place they laid him but go, tell his disciples and peter that he is going ahead of you to galilee. there you will see him. just as he told you. so they went out and fled from the tomb with terror and amazement. and they said nothing to anyone. for they were afraid. that s what we re celebrating today is the resurrection of jesus christ that god loved us so hutch that he gave his son, sacrificed his son so our sins could be forgiven. we talk about the easter bunny but it s really why we re here this sunday morning. you hear like roll the stone away and being a verse of a song or you have that image in your head of a tomb with a round stone over to the side. it s the visuals and the little things that people say but to really bring the meaning back in, why is that so important? because one person couldn t have done it. men couldn t have done it. how did gee jesus leave the tomt
Question. happy to answer. the easterre, god loves you so much he sent his son from heffen to earheaven to earth, and he walked this earth, and he died on the cross for our sins, that is part of the big plan, that christ would die in our place, we owed a debt we could not pay, 3 days later he rose from the dead, he is is a live, gee jesus said i m the resurrection and the life, he who believes in me shall live. if you put your faith in christ, you will go to heaven, he gives answer to life in this world, we can have a relationship with god. trey: i may not go to heaven if i cut you off or run
The places she read about as a child. still reads about. and sees the home and ministry of the person she lives her life for. one of the places we visited of the site where jesus asked his disciples who do they say that i am. who did they think wore say that i am. he followed that up by asking who do you say that i am. i wondered while on that plateau in israel, where he asked that question, what the answer would be if the question were reversed. what if god were to ask, who do they say you are? who is your identity? by what you are known? a poll released this week by wall street journal indicates that values are decreasing in significant in our nation, even in last two
