- How are you today?

Brother Greg, how you doing, man?

Good seeing you today.

Sister Carol, how are you doing?

- I'm doing well, thank you. - Awesome, awesome.

Sister Faith, God bless you. - Thank you.

- Gimme five.

- Please turn with me to the Book of Romans,

Chapter Three, beginning with Verse 20, says,

"Therefore by the deeds of the law,

"no flesh will be justified in his sight

"for by the law is the knowledge of sin."

You see in this passage, Paul had to first understand

that it wasn't his good works

that was going to earn him a spot into heaven.

The Bible tells us in the 23rd verse here

that all have sinned and come short of the glory of God.

You and I, every one of us that are here today,

we confess that we've sinned

and while we can't earn our way, praise the Lord

that by his amazing grace, we have been justified.

You see, the word tells us in Verse 24,

says, "Being justified freely by his grace,

"through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus."

You see, what good news to know that

even though you and I couldn't earn our way into heaven

and even though we've all sinned and in spite of all that,

that we have been given this divine gift of grace.

This amazing grace has justified you and I

and made us right with God.

It's through the events that happened at Calvary's Hill

where the blood of our only begotten savior was shed

that made a way for you and I.

What glorious good news today to know that

even though we couldn't earn our way into heaven

that he's already given freely access

to heaven by his son, Jesus Christ, Amen?

- Amen.

- Well, you need to get this handled.

How does this quarter match up to the last?

- Daddy?

- Okay, I'll take a look at the numbers tomorrow

and see what's not matching up.

What is it, Jade?

I'm in a hurry.

- It's important.

- What is it then?

- I, I'm pregnant.

- What?

- I'm pregnant.

- You're 15 years old, what were you thinking?

- I'm sorry.

- Do you know what this will do to my business?

What will people say when they find out

I have a 15 year old pregnant daughter?

- Daddy, I'm sorry.

- You know, you're just like your mother.

- Daddy, please.

- I'm done with you.

As far as I'm concerned, I have no daughter.

- You can't make me leave. - Get out of here.

- Thank you.

May God bless you.

How are you guys? - Hi, very well.

- You look awfully pretty this day.

- Thank you, Pastor Mark.

- You guys been doing well?

- Good, Pastor.

We wanted to invite you over to dinner next week.

- Only if you're cooking that fried chicken.

- Just the way you like it.

- We'll be there.

- Alright.

- Good to see you guys. - Bye-bye.

- That sure was a nice service today, wasn't it?

- It sure was.

Hey, why don't you guys go ahead and wash up

while I get lunch ready, okay?

- Yes, ma'am.

Let's pray.

God, our Father, Lord and Savior,

we thank you for your many blessings

and ask that you bless this food

to the nourishment of our bodies

and our bodies into your great service.

In your holy name, we pray, Amen.

- Amen. - Amen.

Oh, happy anniversary, by the way.

- Thanks. - Yeah, thanks sweetheart.

- What are you guys doing tonight?

- Well, actually we were thinking about staying in,

having our daughter cook us a good meal

and then maybe rub our feet.

- Huh, funny, Dad.

- That actually sounds like a really great idea.

- Luckily, I have choir practice tonight, no feet there.

- Well, I guess that just means I'll have to take your Mom

to one of those fancy restaurants again this year.

- Do you have a ride to choir practice tonight, honey?

- Yes ma'am, Samantha's coming by.

- Alright, well you tell her to drive safe, okay?

- Mm-hmm.

Oh my gosh.

- Yeah, I know.

He told me to get out, so I did.

- No, I mean, you're pregnant.

- Yeah I know, trust me.

- What are you going to do?

Does Chris know?

- No, I'm scared to tell him.

- But you have to.

- I know, hey, do you think

maybe I could stay with you for a few nights?

- Oh, I umm, I don't think that's a good idea.

It's a school night, so...

- Chrissy please, I have nowhere else to go.

- I don't, hello?

- Hello?

Chrissy?

- Hello?

- This wireless account has been canceled.

- There she is, hurry up, Faith, you're so late.

- Nevaeh] Mom made me bring her.

- I made Mom tell you to bring me.

- You dork, why do you always have to come with me?

- She loves you, Nevaeh.

- I love to make you miserable.

- We're gonna be late.

I hope they hold our table.

- They will, Jack would never give up our table.

We've going there for almost 20 years.

- I hope you're right.

- Alright, everybody ready?

- Yes, can I help you?

- Can I speak to Chris, please?

- Chris, there's some girl at the door for you.

You know I don't like people here this late.

Just take care of this.

- Alright.

Jade, what are you doing here?

- Chris, I'm pregnant.

- What do you expect me to do?

It's not my responsibility.

You can take care of it.

You guys got a lot of money.

- What?

- I got too much on the line to deal with this.

Just go, get outta here, just go.

- I have nowhere else to go.

Wait, please, wait.

Please come back, I have nowhere else to go, please?

- I'll see you all Sunday morning

where we'll worship together and remember, God is good

- All the time. - All the time,

- God is good.

- I really did have a nice night tonight.

Thank you for dinner.

- You know, you and Faith really mean the world to me.

- We love you, too.

- How have you put up with me all these years?

- I guess I'm a saint.

- Greg, Greg, are you okay?

Greg, are you okay?

- Get her out of there.

Careful, pull up, okay?

- I really like the songs you have planned.

I've never heard some of them before

but I'm sure they're gonna be

a really bit hit with everyone.

- The choir's excited.

Just trying to keep it fresh.

Can't sing the same songs week after week.

- You'd be surprised, we've sang the same five songs

every Sunday and Wednesday for three months straight.

- That's why you hired me as the new music minister.

- Have you guys started on that math homework yet

because I'm completely lost.

- I was hoping you'd help me out.

- Math is easy.

I got an A on my last math test.

- Okay, smart one, do you even know what algebra is?

- No, but from the sound of it, neither do any of you.

She's got a point.

- Hey, neighbor. - Hey.

I have some horrible news.

Greg and Carol, they've been in a horrific car crash.

Are they okay?

- Carol, she's in serious condition

but Greg, I'm afraid he didn't make it.

- Oh my God, Faith.

- Hey, this is Pastor Mark.

What, when?

Where?

Oh my gosh, yeah, I'll be there right away.

Oh God, please help this family.

- What is it?

- It's Greg and Carol, there's been an accident.

- Alright, tell me what we got.

- Female, mid-40s, internal bleeding,

BP, 85 over 60, heart rate is weak and running.

She's lost a lot of blood.

We've already given her two liters of fluid.

- Gotcha, we got it from here.

Let's get her to O.R. now.

- Hi, is there any word on Carol Bolin yet?

- No sir, she's still in surgery.

If you'd like to take a seat at the waiting area,

we'll notify you when there's any updates on her.

- Okay, thank you.

- Bolin Family?

- Oftentimes, we feel as though we're entitled

to a certain number of days or years on this Earth.

This is part of what makes Greg and Carol's death

so much more difficult to bear.

One thing I need to remind you, though,

is the Bible makes no such promise.

As a matter of fact, the Book of James,

in the fourth chapter, tells us that our life

is just a vapor that's here today and gone tomorrow.

Psalms Verse Nine and 12 teach us to number our days

so that we may gain a heart of wisdom.

Death is always near us, walking beside each of us

as a constant companion and many of you that are here today,

you know that all too well.

You realize that the only reason you're still here today

is because of God's grace and mercy,

where he saved you from a situation

that you shouldn't have walked away from

because it was part of God's plan.

The Bible tells us in Matthew Chapter 29,

that not one sparrow falls from the sky

without the will of God

and he goes on to tell us

that you are much more valuable than many sparrows.

As tragic as it is to see the death of Greg and Carol,

I wanna remind you and comfort you

that this, too, is part of God's plan.

- I don't understand.

Why can't you just come live with us?

I don't want you to leave, Faith.

- I'm gonna miss you so much.

- I know, I'm gonna miss you both.

I'll never have friends like you ever again.

- Hey, that's not true.

You'll always have friends like us

because we're always gonna be here for you.

- And I mean, I know no one can compare to us

but let's face it, you're amazing.

You're gonna find amazing people who wanna be with you.

- Come here, take my hand.

Dear Daddy Jesus, thank you so much

for my best friend, Faith.

I love her so much and she is such an amazing person

but right now, she's going through a really hard time

and she's hurting a lot

and I know all I wanna do is have her stay here with me

so I can give her a big hug

and make all of her problems go away.

I know I can't do that.

So God, even though it's really hard, today I let her go

so you can come and put your arms around her

'cause I know only in your arms

can she truly start to be healed.

And God, I also pray that you would bring new friends

into Faith's life that will love her

and lead her down the right path.

We trust you, Jesus.

You're the only reason we can look to the future

and have hope.

In your mighty, loving name we pray, Amen.

- Pastor Mark, can I talk with you for a minute?

- Yeah, absolutely, come on in.

- I don't know if Faith can cope with all of this.

She just lost her parents, has to move to a new city,

leave behind all her friends

and move in with family she hardly knows.

- Jay, she's gonna be alright

and I know this is tough but her name is Faith for a reason.

You know, it's easy to say

that God has a plan for our life but it's times like this,

we really have to have faith and know that he does.

The word reminds us that God works all things

to the good of those that love him

and are the called according to his purposes.

God really does have a plan for Faith's life

and as tough as this may be, I promise you

that God's gonna use this to mold her life

in ways that you and I could never even imagine.

- I know, but my job is to help these kids

any way that I can and I've never experienced anything

like this before.

Greg and Carol were good friends.

I feel like I'm failing them.

I feel like I'm failing Faith.

- No Jay, you're not failing them

and you're certainly not failing Faith.

Greg and Carol were some of the best people

I've ever had the privilege of knowing

and this doesn't just affect you.

This has affected our entire church

and it's really shaken the entire community.

This loss at the center of all of it

is this innocent young girl who's lost her parents

and she's hurting, Jay, and she just needs us right now.

She needs our prayers more than anything.

She doesn't think for one second that you're failing her.

Matter of fact, just you being here right now

shows how much you really do care about her, Jay.

She's gonna be alright.

God's gonna take care of her, I promise.

- I hope you're right, Pastor Mark.

- I know I am.

- What do I do?

How can I live without you?

Why would God take you away from me?

I've always worshiped him and praised him.

What did I do wrong?

Why would he do this to me?

I just don't understand.

- Faith, I'm sorry but we need to get on the road.

We've got a long drive ahead of us.

- I love you, Mom and Dad.

I'm gonna miss you both so much.

- Yeah, I played golf with the mayor yesterday.

He said everything's okay.

I think we got the problem ironed down.

That's right, I had to let Ted go.

He just couldn't get the job done.

I feel bad for him and his family

but, you know, it is what it is.

That's right.

Okay, that sounds good.

We'll wrap it up tomorrow.

Okay, bye.

Hello, this is Frank.

I need you to send me the Jacobson contracts by tomorrow.

Hey, I need to call you back.

Hello, this is Frank.

Yes, Mr. Johnson.

We're gonna have everything to you by tomorrow.

That's right.

- Roger, what are you doing?

- What does it look like I'm doing?

I'm working on my truck.

- Faith's on the way and she's been through a lot

and I want you to be on your best behavior.

- That's your family, not mine.

- Here she comes, I mean it, Roger.

Hey, sweetie, you have a good trip?

- It was okay.

- Okay, well come on.

We'll take you up to see your room, okay?

- Hi, I'm Pastor Jay.

- You can take those on inside.

- Okay.

Alright now, Faith.

Remember, keep your namesake, I'm only a call away.

- Thank you, Pastor Jay.

Thank you for everything.

- You're welcome, I'll talk to you soon.

- Hey.

- How's it going over there so far?

- I guess okay.

I don't really think Uncle Roger wants me here.

- Come on, I'm sure that's not true.

You know I miss you so much already.

I wish you could come back and live with us.

- I know, I miss you, too.

I start at my new school tomorrow.

- Well, I'm sure you'll meet plenty of new people.

Just be your old happy self and you'll be fine.

- I don't know if I can be right now.

- How long is she gonna be here anyway?

- As long as she needs to be here.

We're the only family she has left.

- No, you're the only family she has left.

- Why do you keep saying that?

Roger, you married into this family.

- But it's still not mine.

No matter how hard you try, it never will be.

- Roger, this is our chance.

This is our chance to move forward after all these years.

- After all these years.

- Morning, sweetie.

- Morning.

- Made you some breakfast.

Hope you like scrambled eggs.

- Yes, ma'am.

Lord, thank you for this food.

Please bless it to the nourishment in my body, Amen.

- Just lost my appetite.

Hey, hun, I'm just gonna grab something on my way to work.

- Okay.

- Faith, hurry, we're gonna be late.

- I'm coming.

- Dogwood's pretty this time of year.

- Faith, where you going?

- I'll be right back. - Okay.

- Here, I'll get that for you.

- Well, thank you, sweetie.

Thank you.

Oh my, you look like an angel.

- Come on, Faith, we're late.

- That's your name, Faith?

Yes, ma'am.

- Don't let 'em change you.

- Well, have a blessed day.

- Thank you, you too, darling.

- I'm gonna be late.

Um, do you think that you could register yourself?

- Yes, ma'am.

- Just try to fit in, okay?

And have a good day, alright?

And I'll pick you up, just go.

- Watch it, freak. - Sorry.

- You better be.

- God, please keep Faith strong in your word.

I know that you are our Father in heaven,

that you can provide for all things

and that you alone are our strongest tower,

our strength and our way.

Help her to face these giants before her.

Help her to understand that even the smallest stone

can vanquish the tallest of them.

My trust is given to you, Father.

Though she has lost those who have loved

and guided her thus far, help her to endure.

Let her see the way, the only way, your way.

In your son's name, I pray, Amen.

- Hey check it out, a new girl.

They always say modest is hottest

but I think she took that way too seriously.

- Well, it's a nice change of pace

from what we usually see around here.

Come on, let's get to class.

- Sorry I'm late.

- It's no problem, why don't you take a seat?

- I can't wait that long, though.

- Hey, Michael.

- Hey, Katie.

Think we're having pizza.

- Hey dude, check out her bookbag.

- What is she, a nun?

- Caleb and Jacob, see me after class.

I have some extra homework for you two.

Now class, let's give our new classmate

a proper Central High welcome.

Would you stand up and tell us a little about yourself?

- My name is Faith.

- Of course it is.

- I just moved to this city to live with my aunt and uncle

and that's pretty much it.

- Cool story, tell it again.

- Thank you, Faith.

Now class, we're going to pick up

where we left off yesterday.

If you'll please take out your books

and turn to page 375.

- Hey, do you need some help?

- That's okay, I'll just go to the office.

- You don't have to do that, I'll get it for you.

There you go.

- Thanks.

- By the way, my name's Michael.

- Faith.

- Yeah, I was just in class with you.

- Oh, yeah.

- Don't worry about it.

New school, you're allowed to be nervous.

- Come on, let's go.

- Alright, well I gotta go, see you around, Faith.

- Here, let me get that.

- Ah, you are too kind.

- It's no problem.

Here, let me walk you to your house.

- You don't have to do that.

- I want to.

- You have such a giving heart.

- Faith, what are you doing?

- It will just take a second, I'll be right there.

- You're such a blessing to me, Faith.

Do you know the Lord?

- Yes, ma'am.

- I believe he's got some big plans for you, sweetie.

Do you mind if I ask why you're living next door?

- It's a long story.

Well, I need to get going.

- Thank you so much for your help.

- I can pick up your paper for you

in the morning before I head to school.

- Oh, you don't have to do that, sweetie.

- No, I want to.

- Well, thank you.

- You're welcome.

- Bu bye. - Bye.

- Hey, I'm gonna go to Bailey's for a drink.

Maybe it'll be quieter there.

- Don't be home late.

- So, how's your niece doing?

- If her parents hadn't left us a butt-load of money,

she'd be out on the street.

- Yeah right, that's your niece, man.

- No, it's Pam's niece.

No member of my family ever even mentioned God.

Hey Brian, bring me that 10 millimeter wrench, would ya?

Thanks.

- So, you mean to tell me you don't believe in God at all?

- I'm telling you, churches are just a legal way

to steal people's money and brainwash 'em

to thinking if they do good and don't sin,

they'll have eternal life.

Well let me tell ya, when you die, you're dead.

There's no afterlife.

- Well man, I hope you're wrong.

- Show me a real miracle, then I'll believe.

- Hey Mrs. Bell, I got your mail for you.

- Faith, you are so kind.

Be careful. - I'll be okay.

- I'll be praying for you.

- Hey, let me ask you something,

now that we're family and all.

When you're praying and talking to God,

you ever ask him why he killed your parents?

- I hate it here, I wanna go home.

I just don't understand

why God would let me go through this.

What did I do wrong?

- Faith, you didn't do anything wrong.

I wish I could explain why this is happening to you

but I can't.

Just know that God hasn't forsaken you

and he's gonna be with you through this entire thing.

Just please don't give up, Faith.

Continue to be in prayer with the Lord

and ask him for guidance.

He'll show you the way.

- But when?

How long do I have to go through this?

- I don't know but I do know that God will be with you

every step of they way.

Something good will come out of this.

- I'm trying so hard to believe that

but I miss Mom and Dad.

I miss my friends.

- I know, Faith, I know.

- Who does she think she is,

thinking she could take him from me?

And Michael keeps staring at her, it's disgusting.

She thinks she's such a good Christian like,

"Oh, look at me, I'm so much better than everyone."

Give me a break, I mean, I know what she really wants here.

Hannah, did you hear the real reason why she moved here?

- Katie, shh, stop.

- Huh, what do you want me to do, apologize?

God, I don't know

what I did wrong.

I don't know why everyone hates me.

I'm trying so hard.

I just wanna fit in.

I don't wanna be lonely anymore, God.

Please, please, God, I don't know what to do.

- That was awesome, you have such a gift.

Wait, I'm sorry, I just heard you singing.

Did you write that?

- I've gotta go.

Hey boss?

Congratulations on getting that Murphy contract.

- Yeah, thanks.

We really need to ramp up production

if we're gonna meet the deadlines.

- How's Jade, by the way?

- Don't forget, I need that McKinley file

by the end of the day.

- Yes sir, you'll have it by the end of the day.

- God, why is this so hard?

I've always tried to do your will.

Your word says that you'll never forsake me

but I feel so alone.

I feel like I'm lost, somewhere I've never been before

and I can't find my way out.

Please help me understand.

- Is there something I can help you with?

Seems like something's troubling you.

- I just don't understand what God wants from me.

- I know that feeling well.

Did something happen that brought these feelings out?

- I recently lost both my parents

and had to move to live with my aunt and uncle.

- I'm sorry to hear that.

You know, losing a loved one is a terrible thing.

Did they happen to have a relationship with Jesus Christ?

- Yes sir, they were both Christians.

- Well then, you have the comfort in knowing

that they were in covenant with God

through his son, Jesus Christ

and they will have eternal life.

- I know, I just miss them so much.

- It's okay to miss them

and even a mourning period is needed

but when the time comes, will you praise and thank God

for the time you had with your parents

or will you be bitter?

Always questioning his reasoning?

You see, the answers are not always easy to find.

Sometimes, we've got to rely strictly on God's word.

I'm sure you're familiar with 2 Corinthians Five and Seven.

- For you walk by faith, not by sight.

- Keep the faith and God'll see you through.

- Thank you.

- You're welcome, why don't you come and join us

for Sunday service, we'd love to have you.

- Hello?

- Hey, is this Faith?

- Yes.

- This is Michael from school.

- Oh, hey.

- Listen, I just wanted to apologize

for walking in on you the other day.

I heard you from the hall

and I don't know what I was thinking.

- It's fine, really, don't worry about it.

It's just, that was the first time I sang

in front of anybody since my parents died.

- I'm sorry, I had no idea.

Can I make it up to you?

Maybe I can take you to dinner sometime?

- Yeah, I'd like that.

K, well I'll talk to you later.

Bye. - Bye.

- Wow, you must be hungry.

- Actually, I was hoping I could bring this food

to a girl I've seen in the park.

She looks hungry.

She looks like she needs help.

- There's no stopping your kindness is there, Faith?

Just go ahead and get what you need.

- Thanks, Aunt Pam.

Bye. - Bye.

Carol, you raised a wonderful daughter.

- Let's go Caleb! - Oh my God, go Caleb!

- That's a good book you're reading.

- Yes, sir.

Has a lot of great stories in it.

Fearless leaders, courageous triumphs,

and selfless acts, but most of all, it's about hope,

salvation, and unconditional love.

- Yes sir, it is.

- Do you mind if I share my testimony with you?

- Sure.

- I was once a college football player

with a promising pro career.

Then my sophomore year, I tore my knee up.

I worked hard and I prayed to God

to give me the strength to come back and play again.

He did but less than a year later,

I blew out my other knee even worse than the first time.

You know, I started to ask god why?

Why would he let me work so hard

to come back from the first knee injury

just to let it happen again?

- I'm so sorry.

- Thanks, but I knew God had greater plans for me,

plans that I was not aware of,

plans even greater than playing the game of football.

So, let God lead you towards his plans for you.

- I will, thanks.

- Hey Rev, I didn't see you up there.

How you doing? - What's up, how you doing?

Hey coach, how's my nephew doing?

- Man, he's really knocking the cover off the ball.

- Well, how's his fielding going?

- He's having a great year.

- That's good.

- You have a wonderful day. - You, too.

You really need to cut Faith some slack.

She's been through a lot

and she doesn't deserve you always being mean to her.

- Come on, I'm doing that girl a favor.

Sooner she forgets all this God nonsense,

the sooner she can fit in.

You remember when we met?

You were so full of that God stuff.

Good thing you got that out of your system, huh?

- Shut up, Roger.

- So when they had eaten breakfast,

Jesus said to Simon Peter,

"Simon, son of Jonah, do you love me more than these?"

He said, "Yes Lord, you know that I love you."

Jesus says to him, "Feed my sheep," three different times

and what did Jesus mean when he said over and over

for Peter to tend and feed his sheep?

You know, most of us think of feeding an animal

to be food of some sort but what Jesus was saying to Peter

was that he would be charged with overseeing the church

and he would be charged with overseeing the church

as well as to ensure that the word of God

and his sheep, you and I, would be fed the word.

The disciples, at the time, did not realize

that Jesus would have to go and die

for your sins and mine and they would be charged

with spreading the gospel to the world.

Amen?

- Amen.

- Well, we have a special guest today with us

that's gonna be singing a song for us.

Faith, would you come on up?

♪ When I'm scared, let your grace fall down

♪ When I'm lost, in you I will be found

♪ Like the waves that crash upon the sand

♪ Will you cover me, cover me with your mighty hand

♪ Cover me with your grace and love

♪ Cover me with your steadfast love

♪ Cover me, let your arms surround me

♪ Cover me with your love

♪ Cover me with your love

♪ Cover me with your grace and love

♪ Cover me with your steadfast love

♪ Cover me, let your arms surround me

♪ Cover me with your love

♪ Cover me with your love

♪ Cover me with your love, yeah

♪ Cover me with your love

- Aunt Pam, I'm so glad you came.

- Me too, sweetie, you did a great job.

- Thank you.

- Hey Faith, wait up.

- Hey, Michael.

- I wanna introduce you to my parents.

- Hi Faith, I'm Rachel and this is my husband, Mike.

- Hi Faith, nice to meet you. - Hi.

- I can see why Michael talks about you all the time.

You are a very pretty girl.

Thank you.

- Come on, Mom, sorry Faith.

I'll see you at school tomorrow.

- Okay.

- How can I help you, dear?

- I need to see a doctor.

- What about?

- Pregnancy.

- Okay, right, if you could just fill this out

as best as you can, we'll send you on back.

- Well, looks like it's for sure, you're pregnant.

- How am I supposed to take care of it?

- With love and compassion.

- What if I don't want it?

- I'm sorry but we don't do that here.

Listen, what I can do for you

is write you a prescription so you have the right medicine

and you and your baby are healthy throughout the pregnancy.

And I can tell you that every child is a gift from God.

Jade, wait, your medication.

- Do you wanna go get something to eat?

- Sure. - Alright, let's go.

- Uh, you know, we played baseball for a while, so...

- Dear Lord, thank you for your blessings.

Thank you for the food you provide.

Please bless it to the nourishment of our bodies, Amen.

- Amen.

So, I have a game on Friday, are you gonna come?

- Maybe. - Maybe?

Well, I hope you do.

Have you decided on what you wanna do with your music?

- I don't know, I mean, growing up I always thought

I'd be doing something to worship God with my music

but now, after all that's happened, I'm just not sure.

I'm not entirely sure I even wanna keep singing.

- But Faith, you have such an amazing gift.

I don't think you realize how your music affects people.

- I love God but I'm just not sure that people care anymore.

So many have pulled away,

all the awful things I've seen these past few weeks.

- But that's a reason why to use your God-given talent.

- I don't know.

- I have an idea, why don't you grab some friends

and put a concert on at the school?

- A Jesus concert, who would come?

- I'll take care of that, you just get ready to sing.

- God, it's been a while.

I hardly know what to say.

I need your help.

God, I'm sorry for all that I've done.

I tried to do everything right.

Look what it's got me.

I lost my wife, my daughter,

and now I'm here all alone.

All I have is my job.

Please help me, God.

Please help me find my daughter, please.

- Roger, I thought you were coming home hours ago.

- Chill out, I'll be home later.

- No, you're coming home now.

- I said I'll be home later, don't piss me off.

- I'm not living like this anymore.

It's either this or it's us

and I'm praying you choose us.

I'm going home.

- You're doing what?

- Putting on a concert at school.

- Who put you up to that?

- Oh, some guy.

- Oh, a boyfriend?

- No, not a boyfriend.

- Sounds like you're doing pretty well for yourself,

new school, new boyfriend.

- Anyways, we're planning this concert

and I was wondering, do you guys want in?

- I'm in.

- Faith, you know I'll be there.

- I'll be there too, Faith.

- Have you been there the whole time?

- Hush, Nevaeh.

Now Faith, what's this boyfriend I hear about?

- Give it back.

- Does he have a little brother?

- God, please help me.

I have nowhere to go and no one wants me.

- I'm home.

- Roger, what are you doing?

You told me to come home.

- That was hours ago, you're drunk.

- Ah, here comes the priest.

You here to tell me I'm going to hell?

- Roger, that's enough.

- I say when it's enough.

You know, there is no God.

You know how I know?

Because I got you instead of my own baby girl

and if there is a God, he's cruel

because now you're here, living in my house,

eating my food, trying to change my life.

- I didn't try to change anything.

- Take my wife to church,

messing with the old bag next door.

- I was just trying to help.

- Stop trying, you're not helping.

Every day that I have to see your face

reminds me of the daughter I lost.

That's how I know there's no God.

- I don't know what you want from me.

- Get out of my house!

- Roger! - Go!

- Wait!

Listen, I don't know what you've been going through

but this isn't the answer.

- You don't know me.

- I've seen you around, I've been wanting to help you

and my Mom used to tell me before she died

that one small gesture or kind word

can change someone's life.

I know you may feel lost right now

but there's a God and he loves you.

He's the one that directed me to help you.

It's because of his love for you

that led me here tonight.

- You really believe that?

- Yes, I do.

And even though we don't understand it sometimes,

God is at work in our lives every day

to sow his plan that he has for us.

You must be hungry.

How about we grab something to eat and talk, my treat.

- Sure.

- Jade, where are you?

I've been looking all over for you.

- You've been looking for me?

- I haven't been a real good father to you.

When your mother left, that's when you needed me most

and I wasn't there for you.

I'm sorry, Jade, I love you.

- You still love me?

- Baby girl, I love you, it's just you and me

and we're gonna get through this together.

- Thank you, God.

Thank you for Jade.

If it means saving her life,

coming to this city was worth it.

And thank you for my friends,

Samantha and Nevaeh, they're always there when I need them,

even if they're hours away.

And Michael, thank you for him.

He's given me hope that I thought I lost.

And lastly, thank you for my parents.

Thank you for the time I got to spend with them.

Thank you for the lessons I learned from them

that help me, even now that they're gone.

Thank you for helping me understand

that they're always with me.

Tell them I love them.

Just tell them for me.

Thank you for never leaving me, God.

Thank you.

- I'm sorry I took so long to get you.

Roger, I was trying to calm him down.

- How is he?

- He's passed out on the couch.

He will feel it tomorrow, though.

- What was he talking about?

He said he lost his baby girl.

- Your mother had a hard time getting pregnant with you.

- I've heard that.

- I had problems, too.

And finally, after what seemed like forever of trying,

I got pregnant and two weeks later, Carol got pregnant, too.

- I didn't know that.

- Me and your mother thought it was the best thing

that could ever happen.

For the kids to grow up and be best friends,

just like we were but our little daughter didn't make it.

- I'm so sorry.

- It's not your fault

and as much as Roger says it is, it's not.

It's just hard to look at you

and think of what could have been.

That's why Roger is the man he is today

and the woman I am.

We never let it go and we blamed God

for the loss of our daughter.

I wasn't sure about you moving in

but when I saw you help our neighbor

and you took food to the girl in the park,

you didn't stop living but we did, we stopped living.

- It's not too late, Aunt Pam.

- I can't apologize to Carol.

And Roger, he's so far gone.

I don't think I'll ever get him back.

- You have to have faith.

- I have Faith, she's right here.

- Pam?

Pam?

Faith?

- Hey Caleb, what are you doing this weeekend?

- I don't know, me and the boys might go to the mall.

- That sounds fun, you wanna go, too?

- Yeah, we should totally go. - I think we should.

- I might hit y'all up.

But I'll catch you all later.

- Alright. - Bye.

- Oh, I'm sorry.

- Wait, I heard you sing in the music hall.

It was fantastic.

- You were the one that sang at church

the other week, right?

You did really good.

- Yeah, you should join the music club here.

We could really use your talent.

- Really?

- Yeah.

- I don't know what I'm doing here.

I don't even know what to do.

- Roger?

Is that you?

- Ah, I was just leaving.

- Well if you came in here, there must be a reason.

- I don't know what I'm doing here.

- Some people come for guidance.

Roger, I've lived next door to you for years

and I've never seen you come in here before.

You seem so upset.

Do you wanna talk about it?

- I think I lost my wife.

I messed up bad.

- And you want forgiveness.

- It's too late for that.

- It's never too late for forgiveness, Roger.

That's what the love and the grace of God is all about.

- I don't even know if I believe in God.

- So, you came in here, set down in this pew,

in this sanctuary, trying to convince me

to convince you otherwise?

No, Roger, God is all about forgiveness

and I think that's why you came in here.

This is the perfect place to find it.

May I pray for you and your family?

- I'm so sorry, I can change.

I promise you, I will change.

- Hey, you should come to the concert.

Y'all should come to the concert.

- Oh no, we are not going to this.

- What are you doing this weekend, Michael?

- I don't know--

- Hey, you should come to the concert, you too.

- This place is huge.

- Yeah, do you think we should have tried someplace smaller?

- Michael took care of it.

This is the first time I've seen it, too.

- Do you guys think we'll be singing to an empty room?

- If that's what we have to do.

- How much longer?

- Just a few more minutes.

- Remember, we do this for his praise, not theirs.

We glorify him with our songs,

regardless of how many people show up.

Well, let's pray.

Dear God, thank you for your goodness,

your mercy, and your grace.

Help us carry these wonderful gifts in our own hearts.

May your will be done, even if we can't see your plans.

Lead us, even if we don't understand where we're going.

Thank you for bringing us where we stand today,

here on this stage.

We will glorify you with our songs.

We will sing our heart's desires.

In your name, we pray, Amen.
