Pastor Chris Hodges of Church of the Highlands played a beautiful version of the classic hymn, “Tis So Sweet to Trust in Jesus,” on the piano.

“I bet most of you didn’t even know I played piano,” he says after he finished. “I actually sit here at this piano every day and do what I want you to do every day, especially in this season, and that is worship.”

I don’t say this a lot, but if ever you need a word from God relevant to what we are going through, I do believe this is a must hear message for you and your family. It may be the most important message that I’ve preached all year. Worship was unbelievable—thank you @mattredmanmusic, @lindy_conant, @seanmatta_ and @quintintrotter.
