The Purpose of the Church: Community Zip code Analysis 9.13.26

Mario Furlow (0:02)

Okay, go ahead. Well, gracious father, we thank you for today. We thank you for the ability to come before you, and just worship, just learn more, even just learn how to surrender ourselves, oh God, our mind and our heart to you. Father, we thank you for today, where we're going to learn more about the zip code where you have sent us, oh God, to have worship. Thank you, Father, for the teaching that's going to come forth. Father, we just thank you today.

For some, today is not easy. For some, today is a great day. But we know, God, you are still God. You are everything that we need. You are everything that we can rely on and lean on, even through hard and difficult times, and even through times, God, of uncertainty, we still lean on you. And Father, we thank you for today. We thank you for the word that is going to come forth, the teaching that is going to come forth. We just thank you. We thank you that we have the ability, Father, to just surrender and open our heart, open our mind, open our ears, to hear what you have for us to say. Father, we just simply thank you today because we are breathing, you know. We are breathing. We are able to be with family and friends. We are able to come together even in a virtual setting and still love on one another, encourage one another, and just learn more and just be comforted, to be comforted, because I know from me, God, today, I need you. So Father, guide us through today, and as we worship and as we listen and as we strategize and as we talk things through and as we process what our next move is for TSL, we thank you for being in the midst. I thank you that you are covering Alicia now, God, as she's going to teach us and lead us and show us some things, God. I think you bless her home and bless her family and her children and everything that you're calling her to be. We thank you and we honor you for today. In Jesus' name, amen.

Go into a worship, play a worship song, and then after the song is over, Alicia, you can take over. I'll do announcements at the end. Do you need the ability to share Alicia?

Okay. I'll make sure I get that to you. All right.

Let me get things going.

SPEAKER_2 (3:15)

I said, he's all those things.

Alicia (4:03)

Can you say we don't have any or at least I can't hear any audio. I'm not sure if anybody else can.

Mario Furlow (4:21)

What did you say? You couldn't hear it?

Alicia (4:23)

No, there's no audio.

Mario Furlow (4:26)

Okay, hold on. What about now?

SPEAKER_2 (4:35)

I'm sorry. I couldn't hear it either. I'm sorry. I promise.

Mario Furlow (4:39)

No, I can hear it.

SPEAKER_2 (4:43)

No.

Alicia (4:45)

Well, there's a bit of it that's like stopping and breaking up, almost like it's maybe the connection.

Mario Furlow (4:54)

That's all right. We're not going to, we're not going to.

I am not. All right. Well, Alicia, you go ahead. I tried. Don't know what happened. That's all right.

SPEAKER_2 (5:11)

I got a song.

Alicia (5:14)

I got a song because it's been a week.

Keisha (5:16)

This is the day.

SPEAKER_2 (5:17)

Everybody come out from mute.

Alicia (5:18)

We're just going to do it. Like, this is the day.

And be glad in it.

Keisha (5:39)

This is the day, come on, Keisha, help me, that the Lord has made. I will rejoice and be glad.

Mario Furlow (5:47)

Keisha, we'll unmute.

Alicia (5:48)

This is the day, this is the day that the Lord has made.

Keisha (5:56)

Hallelujah.

Alicia (5:56)

I don't care what is in this day, he still made it, and I'm still going to say hallelujah. I don't care what was in yesterday, he made yesterday, and I'm still going to say hallelujah. And tomorrow, hallelujah, hallelujah, this is the day.

Keisha (6:13)

Amen.

Alicia (6:14)

Even if we didn't make the day, it's still the day. Hallelujah, hallelujah.

Keisha (6:20)

Right, Jordan? Jordan even said hallelujah.

SPEAKER_2 (6:23)

Say hallelujah.

Alicia (6:24)

All right, I came because there's a praise. Go sit down. You can't breathe in my face while I'm teaching. Go.

Hallelujah.

SPEAKER_2 (6:32)

Hallelujah.

Alicia (6:33)

You know what? That's all right. Sometimes we need to make the music.

Mario Furlow (6:37)

Amen.

Alicia (6:37)

Amen.

Mario Furlow (6:41)

You should have ability now, Alicia.

Alicia (6:44)

Okay. Let me go ahead and get started. We're going to jump in and share. So as I was looking at this information, really, really interesting data. So let's see.
