- 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

- Daddy, I'm sorry.

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

- [Jade] Daddy, please.

- I'm done with you.

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

- 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,

- 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.

- 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?

(laughing)

- 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?

Three, Four,

♪ Amazing grace, how sweet the sound

- [Samantha] Here we go, hurry up, hope she's not too mad.

- Hello, wait for me.

Can't believe she's growing up so fast.

- It's hard to believe our little girl

will be 16 next week.

- Hurry Faith, you're up.

♪ Can you accept me

(light peaceful music)

(chuckling)

- I guess I'm a saint.

(phone beeping)

- Greg, Greg, are you okay?

Greg, are you okay?

(siren wailing)

(sobbing)

- [Man] 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.

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

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

(giggling) - She's got a point.

(lightly crying)

(sad piano music)

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,

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.

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.

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

- I hope you're right, Pastor Mark.

- I know I am.

(light dramatic music)

- What do I do?

How can I live without you?

Hello, this is Frank.

Yes, Mr. Johnson.

We're gonna have everything to you by tomorrow.

That's right.

(phone ringing)

- 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.

- Roger, this is our chance.

(light peaceful music)

- Just lost my appetite.

- I'm gonna be late.

Um, do you think that you could register yourself?

- 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.

Come on, let's get to class.

a proper Central High welcome.

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

- My name is Faith.

- [Boy] Of course it is.

New school, you're allowed to be nervous.

- Come on, let's go.

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

- 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.

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.

I don't know why everyone hates me.

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

Did you write that?

- I've gotta go.

- 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.

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.

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

- Wow, you must be hungry.

- Actually, I was hoping I could bring this food

to a girl I've seen in the park.

(light dramatic music)

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

(cheering)

You were so full of that God stuff.

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

with spreading the gospel to the world.

Amen?

- [Congregation] Amen.

- [Man] Well, we have a special guest today with us

that's gonna be singing a song for us.

- How can I help you, dear?

- I need to see a doctor.

- What about?

- Pregnancy.

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

- 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?

(light dramatic music)

- Maybe. - Maybe?

Well, I hope you do.

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

- God, it's been a while.

(light dramatic music)

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?

- Faith, you know I'll be there.

- I'll be there too, Faith.

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.

(crying)

- Sure.

(uplifting rock music)

- I shouldn't have let you go like that.

Thank you.

(phone vibrating)

- 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.

- 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.

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,

- Oh, I'm sorry.

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

(soft piano music)

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

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

Do you wanna talk about it?

This is the perfect place to find it.

(breathing heavily)

May I pray for you and your family?

(students chattering)

- Hey, you should come to the concert.

- I don't know--

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