Joel Osteen preached for “restoration and healing” in the first Sunday service following the shooting that erupted at his Lakewood Church in Houston last week.
“Lord, we think of your faithfulness, especially this week, Lord, what you brought us through,” Osteen said during the service.
Osteen noted how the shooting, which took place last Sunday in between services, could have been far more deadly. “We don’t take it for granted. Your angels were watching over each one of us,” he said.
On Feb 11., a female shooter — later identified by police as 36-year-old Genesse Ivonne Moreno — was shot and killed by off-duty officers who were working security at the church.
