she cares for this church. 11 00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:31,910 I mean, I don't know if you guys know this, but she and I want 12 00:00:32,220 --> 00:00:34,300 every campus to understand this as well. 13 00:00:34,940 --> 00:00:38,140 She is the best that we have at V1 Church. 14 00:00:38,300 --> 00:00:42,380 I'm talking one of our best leaders, most faithful servants. 15 00:00:42,380 --> 00:00:46,060 And we just thank you so much because you really have been a mother 16 00:00:46,300 --> 00:00:50,460 to all of us and to our pastoral staff and our team and my 17 00:00:50,460 --> 00:00:50,940 babies. 18 00:00:52,060 --> 00:00:53,420 And I love you so much. 19 00:00:53,500 --> 00:00:57,100 Yeah, I'm gonna get you all the things for Mother's Day. 20 00:00:57,980 --> 00:00:59,180 So today's your day. 21 00:00:59,180 --> 00:01:00,220 Today is your day. 22 00:01:00,620 --> 00:01:01,260 Love you. 23 00:01:05,010 --> 00:01:07,410 She just said, we're going to Home Goods. 24 00:01:08,930 --> 00:01:10,210 I'm sure they saw the video. 25 00:01:10,210 --> 00:01:12,490 I just got her two carts full of Home Goods stuff. 26 00:01:12,490 --> 00:01:14,370 So how about let's pray for me? 27 00:01:14,370 --> 00:01:16,250 Okay, let's pray for me. 28 00:01:16,250 --> 00:01:20,490 Before I jump into this word, Heavenly Father, I thank you so much 29 00:01:20,490 --> 00:01:25,010 for every mother, Lord, under the sound of my voice, there's thousands 30 00:01:25,010 --> 00:01:28,370 watching right now via television, through the Internet, 31 00:01:28,370 --> 00:01:28,690 God. 32 00:01:28,690 --> 00:01:29,850 And we pray for them. 33 00:01:29,850 --> 00:01:32,930 Mothers in hospitals, mothers who are at home. 34 00:01:33,090 --> 00:01:34,990 We pray for them right now, Lord. 35 00:01:34,990 --> 00:01:38,750 We pray for the mothers of Brooklyn and Miami and Indiana. 36 00:01:38,830 --> 00:01:42,470 We pray for the mothers of New Jersey, God, Mothers here on Long 37 00:01:42,470 --> 00:01:42,910 Island. 38 00:01:43,150 --> 00:01:47,310 And we thank you, Lord, that you, by your sovereign design and 39 00:01:47,310 --> 00:01:50,910 your will, have caused women to be mothers. 40 00:01:50,910 --> 00:01:51,270 Lord. 41 00:01:51,270 --> 00:01:52,190 You give life. 42 00:01:52,430 --> 00:01:56,110 And, Lord, we thank you that you give them the strength and the 43 00:01:56,110 --> 00:01:58,590 ability to do what you called them to do. 44 00:01:58,590 --> 00:02:00,110 In Jesus name, Amen. 45 00:02:00,110 --> 00:02:01,550 You can go ahead and take your seats. 46 00:02:02,870 --> 00:02:04,070 This might. 47 00:02:04,070 --> 00:02:10,150 Okay, so you might be like, isn't it odd that a man is preaching 48 00:02:10,230 --> 00:02:11,190 Mother's Day? 49 00:02:15,750 --> 00:02:19,190 I asked my wife, I said, jules, what do you want for Mother's 50 00:02:19,190 --> 00:02:19,310 Day? 51 00:02:19,310 --> 00:02:20,470 And you know what she told me? 52 00:02:20,630 --> 00:02:22,710 I want you to preach Mother's Day. 53 00:02:23,270 --> 00:02:27,070 So she was like, I don't want to be the cliche pastor's wife that 54 00:02:27,070 --> 00:02:28,950 gets up and does a sermon on Mother's Day. 55 00:02:28,950 --> 00:02:30,470 I actually want to enjoy it. 56 00:02:30,860 --> 00:02:33,220 And you're my favorite preacher, so would you preach? 57 00:02:33,220 --> 00:02:33,660 Is this. 58 00:02:33,660 --> 00:02:34,140 Am I right? 59 00:02:34,140 --> 00:02:35,180 Am I lying, Jules? 60 00:02:36,220 --> 00:02:37,140 Okay, so good. 61 00:02:37,140 --> 00:02:38,180 Cause that's all you got. 62 00:02:38,180 --> 00:02:40,060 That's all you get right here is this. 63 00:02:40,060 --> 00:02:41,100 Put a bow on it. 64 00:02:41,420 --> 00:02:42,060 I'm playing. 65 00:02:43,020 --> 00:02:45,980 The other thing is, I made a commitment that I was gonna Keep 66 00:02:45,980 --> 00:02:50,220 service short so we can get to the things that you scheduled in 67 00:02:50,220 --> 00:02:50,580 your home. 68 00:02:50,580 --> 00:02:55,260 And I have given permission for my staff at 30 minutes into this 69 00:02:55,260 --> 00:02:57,580 message to jump on stage and to tackle me. 70 00:02:58,330 --> 00:03:00,970 And so I'm just gonna be as accountable as I can. 71 00:03:00,970 --> 00:03:04,570 Now, they already started this timer three minutes ahead. 72 00:03:04,570 --> 00:03:06,410 They accelerated me, so. 73 00:03:07,210 --> 00:03:12,170 But I got a word that I wanna share and it's really a special word. 74 00:03:12,170 --> 00:03:16,010 And this is something that I've had a front row seat for because 75 00:03:16,090 --> 00:03:19,090 I was raised by a single mother with five. 76 00:03:19,090 --> 00:03:21,770 I'm the oldest of five kids and we were very poor. 77 00:03:22,090 --> 00:03:25,970 And I watched my mom try to be a dad and a mom. 78 00:03:26,370 --> 00:03:29,610 And sometimes when my mom would discipline me a little too 79 00:03:29,610 --> 00:03:32,930 hard, she'd be like, well, this is me being your dad now. 80 00:03:33,970 --> 00:03:35,810 And that was kind of how life was. 81 00:03:35,890 --> 00:03:38,610 And then I watched my wife navigate motherhood. 82 00:03:38,690 --> 00:03:42,610 I had a front row seat for her giving birth to both of our children. 83 00:03:43,090 --> 00:03:46,370 But we also experienced the pain of miscarriage and we had two 84 00:03:46,370 --> 00:03:48,130 miscarriages in between children. 85 00:03:48,210 --> 00:03:49,890 So sometimes people are confused. 86 00:03:49,890 --> 00:03:51,850 They're like, you have a 19 year old daughter and you have a 87 00:03:51,850 --> 00:03:53,410 12 year old daughter, like what happened? 88 00:03:53,510 --> 00:03:53,670 And. 89 00:03:53,900 --> 00:03:57,380 But we actually unfortunately had two miscarriages between those 90 00:03:57,380 --> 00:03:58,140 pregnancies. 91 00:03:58,300 --> 00:04:02,340 And I believe that both of our children are miracles and testify 92 00:04:02,340 --> 00:04:03,420 to the power of God. 93 00:04:04,060 --> 00:04:07,940 But also being a pastor, you know, this day is very hard. 94 00:04:07,940 --> 00:04:10,540 There's people that may be watching right now. 95 00:04:10,620 --> 00:04:13,620 I hear the stories, they tell me, hey, you're not gonna see me 96 00:04:13,620 --> 00:04:14,620 in person on Sunday. 97 00:04:14,620 --> 00:04:16,620 It hurts too much to show up. 98 00:04:17,260 --> 00:04:21,740 And I empathize deeply because being a pastor for the last 20 years, 99 00:04:21,900 --> 00:04:26,400 I've walked people through many different scenari in many different 100 00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:27,320 situations. 101 00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:30,360 So I know we shouted out the biological mothers. 102 00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:34,360 Can we also shout out all the spiritual mothers right now that 103 00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:40,160 may not have biological children, but they have treated somebody 104 00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:41,360 else child like their own? 105 00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:44,600 Aren't you grateful for spiritual mothers as well? 106 00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:48,520 Can we put our hands together for all the mothers of adopted children 107 00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:51,240 that have brought children into their home? 108 00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:55,190 We have many families that have adopted and it's such a beautiful 109 00:04:55,190 --> 00:04:55,550 thing. 110 00:04:55,950 --> 00:04:56,590 Come on. 111 00:04:58,830 --> 00:05:00,990 And so we honor each and every one of them. 112 00:05:00,990 --> 00:05:05,630 I wanna just share a very brief sermon about who I believe 113 00:05:05,630 --> 00:05:08,190 in all of scripture is the greatest mother. 114 00:05:08,510 --> 00:05:09,950 And here's my proof. 115 00:05:10,110 --> 00:05:15,070 She was chosen by God to birth his son, Jesus, and her name is Mary. 116 00:05:15,390 --> 00:05:19,070 We're gonna talk about Mary because out of all the women in the 117 00:05:19,070 --> 00:05:24,590 entirety of scripture, as I thought about it, Mary must have 118 00:05:24,590 --> 00:05:26,750 been the most significant. 119 00:05:27,070 --> 00:05:30,550 She must have when the angel said, you have found favor with the 120 00:05:30,550 --> 00:05:30,910 Lord. 121 00:05:31,230 --> 00:05:34,470 I don't think any of us can quite understand the depths of that 122 00:05:34,470 --> 00:05:34,830 statement. 123 00:05:35,390 --> 00:05:39,790 Because she was found suitable physically, mentally, emotionally, 124 00:05:39,790 --> 00:05:42,750 spiritually, to birth the Messiah. 125 00:05:42,910 --> 00:05:45,950 And then God knew that she would see him all the way through 126 00:05:45,950 --> 00:05:46,670 to the cross. 127 00:05:47,570 --> 00:05:51,090 And I wanna take a look at that, because, yes, we celebrate 128 00:05:51,330 --> 00:05:55,530 all of the mothers here, but I wanna celebrate Mary as a mother. 129 00:05:55,530 --> 00:05:59,810 An example in scripture that we can all learn from both male and 130 00:05:59,810 --> 00:06:00,690 female today. 131 00:06:01,170 --> 00:06:05,570 And I'm gonna kind of weave in my wife's own story into this because, 132 00:06:06,450 --> 00:06:08,810 you know, she is my wife. 133 00:06:08,810 --> 00:06:11,810 And as I was studying Mary, I realized. 134 00:06:11,810 --> 00:06:13,010 And Julie, I know you didn't. 135 00:06:13,010 --> 00:06:14,490 Julie didn't know what I was gonna preach. 136 00:06:14,490 --> 00:06:17,170 And I promise I'm not doing this just to score extra points. 137 00:06:19,350 --> 00:06:24,870 But there's uncanny parallels between many of the attributes of 138 00:06:24,870 --> 00:06:26,150 Mary and my wife. 139 00:06:26,150 --> 00:06:29,790 And I thought, if in the way that it would be appropriate, I would 140 00:06:29,790 --> 00:06:33,110 try to take an ancient story and make it modern. 141 00:06:33,509 --> 00:06:35,670 And so we're gonna do some parallel. 142 00:06:35,670 --> 00:06:38,390 But it starts in the first chapter of Luke. 143 00:06:38,390 --> 00:06:43,550 So if you look at Luke, chapter one, verse 38, the Scriptures 144 00:06:43,550 --> 00:06:45,510 say, I am the Lord's servant. 145 00:06:46,220 --> 00:06:48,860 May everything you have said about me come true. 146 00:06:49,340 --> 00:06:52,180 As a matter of fact, leave that up on screen all around the 147 00:06:52,180 --> 00:06:54,700 world right now at all of our seven campuses. 148 00:06:54,940 --> 00:06:57,100 Can we repeat this scripture together? 149 00:06:57,420 --> 00:07:00,540 And so I'm gonna begin to read it and try to recite this with me. 150 00:07:01,100 --> 00:07:02,940 I am the Lord's servant. 151 00:07:02,940 --> 00:07:03,500 Okay, hold on. 152 00:07:03,500 --> 00:07:04,860 You're gonna have to do better than that. 153 00:07:05,260 --> 00:07:06,700 All right, get off your phone. 154 00:07:06,780 --> 00:07:07,820 All right, you ready? 155 00:07:08,300 --> 00:07:09,740 We're gonna say this out loud. 156 00:07:09,740 --> 00:07:10,540 Say this with me. 157 00:07:10,780 --> 00:07:12,780 I am the Lord's servant. 158 00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:17,320 May everything you have said about me come true. 159 00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:20,760 That's simple. 160 00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:24,680 But that is what came out of Mary when she was presented with 161 00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:28,760 this seemingly impossible task of giving birth to the Messiah. 162 00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:30,200 Look what she said. 163 00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:31,640 I am the Lord's servant. 164 00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:35,400 May everything that the Lord said about me come true. 165 00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:40,280 One of the hardest things in life is to come into agreement with 166 00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:41,560 what God says about you. 167 00:07:42,660 --> 00:07:43,700 Can I get an amen? 168 00:07:44,420 --> 00:07:46,540 One of the hardest things in life is to. 169 00:07:46,540 --> 00:07:49,340 As a matter of fact, if somebody calls me dumb, I'm inclined 170 00:07:49,340 --> 00:07:51,860 to believe them because I've made a lot of dumb decisions. 171 00:07:52,980 --> 00:07:53,940 You know what I'm saying? 172 00:07:53,940 --> 00:07:59,260 Like, it's almost easier to stay in a certain mindset, to give 173 00:07:59,260 --> 00:08:02,740 yourself permission to come into agreement with the negative. 174 00:08:03,060 --> 00:08:05,940 But there's something about when the Lord gives you an identity, 175 00:08:05,940 --> 00:08:07,700 when the Lord tells you that you're something. 176 00:08:08,210 --> 00:08:12,770 How hard it is to come into agreement, how hard it is to believe 177 00:08:12,770 --> 00:08:14,290 that you are that thing. 178 00:08:14,770 --> 00:08:18,130 And what I see in the life of Mary is that she makes a decision 179 00:08:18,850 --> 00:08:22,490 to come into agreement with what God says, even if she doesn't 180 00:08:22,490 --> 00:08:22,770 understand. 181 00:08:23,969 --> 00:08:27,530 How many of you know what it feels like to not understand why 182 00:08:27,530 --> 00:08:28,770 God would choose you? 183 00:08:28,850 --> 00:08:30,530 Do anybody know what I'm talking about? 184 00:08:31,090 --> 00:08:34,210 God, I don't even know why I would not have chose me. 185 00:08:34,610 --> 00:08:36,330 I don't know why you have chosen me. 186 00:08:36,330 --> 00:08:40,420 But there's something about Mary that where understanding is 187 00:08:40,420 --> 00:08:47,060 not a prerequisite to submission, understanding is not 188 00:08:47,060 --> 00:08:49,340 a prerequisite to submission. 189 00:08:49,340 --> 00:08:51,420 She really doesn't understand it. 190 00:08:51,420 --> 00:08:54,379 But she says, I will come into agreement with it. 191 00:08:54,620 --> 00:08:56,700 There's something powerful about that. 192 00:08:57,100 --> 00:09:01,060 And so when you look at Mary's life, it's this master class in what 193 00:09:01,060 --> 00:09:02,140 I call the pivot. 194 00:09:02,860 --> 00:09:06,820 Because she goes from this stable in Bethlehem, I mean, basically 195 00:09:06,820 --> 00:09:11,480 surrounded by common farm animals, to now taking flight in 196 00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:14,680 Egypt because there's a census on the firstborn. 197 00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:18,760 And she could actually have experienced her child Jesus being 198 00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:19,720 murdered. 199 00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:24,280 And so she never really gets this white picket fence reality, 200 00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:28,280 and she gets this life of constant adjustment. 201 00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:31,560 Isn't it funny how sometimes we want a life better than those 202 00:09:31,560 --> 00:09:33,640 that came before us in the scripture? 203 00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:36,040 And it's like we want normalcy. 204 00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:38,280 God, give me the white picket fence. 205 00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:39,520 God, give me the stability. 206 00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:44,160 God, root me in a place where everything's gonna be relatively 207 00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:44,640 stable. 208 00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:49,480 But when you look at the life of Mary, she goes from a stable in 209 00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:52,640 an inn, in a borrowed suite. 210 00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:57,520 Then she goes to take flight in Egypt, then she comes back in 211 00:09:57,520 --> 00:10:01,200 Nazareth, their family travels into Jerusalem for the feast and 212 00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:05,750 festivals, and you just really see Mary's life as a pretty consistent 213 00:10:05,910 --> 00:10:06,870 adjustment. 214 00:10:07,190 --> 00:10:12,030 And I don't know about you, but being a mother, and this is from 215 00:10:12,030 --> 00:10:16,070 a man's perspective, it seems to be a life of constant adjustment. 216 00:10:16,150 --> 00:10:19,830 Once you master the baby phase, the infant phase, they turn 217 00:10:19,830 --> 00:10:20,870 into toddlers. 218 00:10:21,270 --> 00:10:24,110 Then they start throwing fits and throwing themselves to the ground 219 00:10:24,110 --> 00:10:25,590 and crying and screaming. 220 00:10:25,590 --> 00:10:29,270 And then now you gotta deal with the terrible twos or whatever. 221 00:10:29,270 --> 00:10:32,060 And then the then, right when you figure out the toddler phase, 222 00:10:32,060 --> 00:10:34,940 then it's elementary school, and then all of a sudden elementary 223 00:10:34,940 --> 00:10:37,820 school, then they start puberty, and then now you got a whole 224 00:10:37,820 --> 00:10:41,780 nother issue because they smell bad and they need deodorant. 225 00:10:42,500 --> 00:10:45,340 And you know, you're like, man, how is that my kid's stinking 226 00:10:45,340 --> 00:10:45,820 so bad? 227 00:10:45,820 --> 00:10:48,500 And you're like, oh, it's cause they have armpit hair now and 228 00:10:49,140 --> 00:10:50,500 they're teenagers. 229 00:10:50,500 --> 00:10:54,220 And then you get that down, then young adults, and it's like 230 00:10:54,220 --> 00:10:56,180 a life of constant adjustment. 231 00:10:56,900 --> 00:11:01,060 And to think about the fact that God trusted Mary, that Mary 232 00:11:01,060 --> 00:11:02,660 was gonna be able to lead. 233 00:11:02,900 --> 00:11:07,620 Ooh, that Mary was gonna be able to lead Jesus. 234 00:11:09,140 --> 00:11:14,580 Think about the responsibility of being the woman that's tasked 235 00:11:14,580 --> 00:11:15,860 with leading Jesus. 236 00:11:15,940 --> 00:11:18,300 If ever you struggle with God. 237 00:11:18,300 --> 00:11:21,700 Am I doing a good enough job leading my kids? 238 00:11:22,110 --> 00:11:24,510 Can I propose to you, Mary, who is. 239 00:11:24,590 --> 00:11:26,670 Who had to lead God's kid? 240 00:11:28,910 --> 00:11:32,190 I mean, you know how sometimes you feel like you're not enough? 241 00:11:32,190 --> 00:11:32,590 You. 242 00:11:32,670 --> 00:11:33,790 You know, my. 243 00:11:33,870 --> 00:11:34,510 My mom. 244 00:11:34,510 --> 00:11:34,910 My. 245 00:11:34,910 --> 00:11:36,190 You're not my mom, Jewel. 246 00:11:36,190 --> 00:11:36,670 Sorry. 247 00:11:37,789 --> 00:11:38,670 My mommy. 248 00:11:41,310 --> 00:11:42,910 And the husband said amen. 249 00:11:44,750 --> 00:11:47,550 But my wife, you know, it's like she'll. 250 00:11:47,630 --> 00:11:51,470 And she's in that phase now of like driving our daughter to dance 251 00:11:51,710 --> 00:11:54,630 and then, you know, going grocery shopping, then she cooks. 252 00:11:54,630 --> 00:11:56,430 Then sometimes it's an Uber Eats day. 253 00:11:56,430 --> 00:11:57,550 Can I get an amen? 254 00:11:57,790 --> 00:12:01,350 God bless all those Uber Eats drivers on their missionary journeys 255 00:12:01,350 --> 00:12:04,990 through New York City delivering food to the Signorelli's. 256 00:12:05,390 --> 00:12:10,310 But it's funny because no matter how much my wife does, one 257 00:12:10,310 --> 00:12:14,310 of the constant feelings that she's dealt with, and after two decades 258 00:12:14,310 --> 00:12:17,630 of pastoring, I've come to recognize that this is like a normal 259 00:12:17,630 --> 00:12:22,220 experience is she doesn't ever feel like she's done enough, no matter 260 00:12:22,220 --> 00:12:23,500 how long her day was. 261 00:12:23,660 --> 00:12:25,660 Can any women bear witness to that? 262 00:12:26,220 --> 00:12:29,900 And so Mary is such a good example because she's constantly 263 00:12:29,900 --> 00:12:32,540 adjusting, she's constantly pivoting. 264 00:12:32,860 --> 00:12:36,100 And, you know, I wanna show you this picture from when our church 265 00:12:36,100 --> 00:12:36,940 first launched. 266 00:12:37,100 --> 00:12:39,020 It's a pretty funny moment. 267 00:12:39,180 --> 00:12:41,660 So this is Everly. 268 00:12:41,900 --> 00:12:44,300 And everly was in V1 Kids. 269 00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:48,320 And wheneverly was now, we used to have kids in the movie theater. 270 00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:51,640 So we didn't have big nice buildings like this on Long Island. 271 00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:54,600 Not the one that you're in in Indiana, you know, where we flipped 272 00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:54,760 it. 273 00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:56,200 It's got new carpet and all that. 274 00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:59,680 We were in the movie theater when we first got started, so we 275 00:12:59,680 --> 00:13:03,680 would have to set the kids stuff up around all of the chairs 276 00:13:03,680 --> 00:13:04,600 of the movie theater. 277 00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:09,040 And our kids of V1 kids had gotten this idea, what if we just 278 00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:12,720 climb on top of these recliners and just jump off of these 279 00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:17,280 things and go crazy and, you know, make it a gymnasium, you know. 280 00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:21,800 So this is when we had one location as a church and we were 281 00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:24,800 just getting started and all of a sudden we had got word that 282 00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:25,800 Everly was hurt. 283 00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:30,200 And we took her to the hospital and she's, she had broken 284 00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:30,800 her arm. 285 00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:34,040 And so the early days of V1 Church was Everly walking around 286 00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:36,160 with a sling and a broken arm. 287 00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:38,880 And there's my wife and she. 288 00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:42,240 Now, let me explain the look on her face. 289 00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:44,640 You know, she's smiling with her mouth but not her eyes. 290 00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:50,640 If, you know, you know, because we had just, you know, been 291 00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:53,960 through a lot as a family and we had downsized to come move to 292 00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:58,440 New York, so we had a 600 square foot apartment and my wife 293 00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:00,160 was figuring out how to live in the city. 294 00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:04,600 We didn't have laundry in our apartment, so we'd had to drag our 295 00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:05,680 clothes down the street. 296 00:14:06,450 --> 00:14:08,890 I remember those were the days, Julie, where we would get a 297 00:14:08,890 --> 00:14:12,250 flat tire every single time we went to church. 298 00:14:12,250 --> 00:14:13,170 Do you remember that? 299 00:14:13,410 --> 00:14:17,650 It was, we hit the streak for weeks where we got a flat tire. 300 00:14:17,730 --> 00:14:20,170 Every single time, every Sunday we had a flat tire. 301 00:14:20,170 --> 00:14:20,770 Remember that? 302 00:14:21,410 --> 00:14:26,170 And so then on top of that, Everly broke her arm and she's doing 303 00:14:26,170 --> 00:14:26,930 the peace sign. 304 00:14:26,930 --> 00:14:30,610 I don't know why we did that, but it's. 305 00:14:30,770 --> 00:14:34,870 But when I think about Julie as a mother, I think about the attributes 306 00:14:34,870 --> 00:14:39,590 of Mary of a constant adjustment, understanding the journey, 307 00:14:39,830 --> 00:14:41,630 understanding that we're headed somewhere. 308 00:14:41,630 --> 00:14:44,390 We're not where we want to be, but we're not where we used to be. 309 00:14:44,550 --> 00:14:45,190 Thank God. 310 00:14:45,190 --> 00:14:48,190 We're not where we used to be, but praise God, we're going to get 311 00:14:48,190 --> 00:14:51,110 to where we're supposed to be and I'm going to press on. 312 00:14:51,190 --> 00:14:54,590 I think about, you know, this situation with our family. 313 00:14:54,590 --> 00:14:59,550 It's like what we didn't know is that this single location church 314 00:14:59,550 --> 00:15:01,950 was gonna turn into a seven location church. 315 00:15:02,510 --> 00:15:06,190 What we didn't know is that at the time we barely could have six 316 00:15:06,190 --> 00:15:09,710 kids and V1 kids, all of our volunteers wanted to quit on a weekly 317 00:15:09,710 --> 00:15:10,270 basis. 318 00:15:10,670 --> 00:15:13,950 And now we have hundreds of kids all over the United States. 319 00:15:13,950 --> 00:15:18,030 And don't despise the days of small beginnings because the Lord 320 00:15:18,030 --> 00:15:19,790 rejoiced when it began. 321 00:15:19,790 --> 00:15:22,150 And come on, I gotta tell a mother right now. 322 00:15:22,150 --> 00:15:25,700 Your kids might be little now, but don't despise, despise the days 323 00:15:25,700 --> 00:15:28,540 of small beginnings because you're taking care of your kids, 324 00:15:28,540 --> 00:15:31,500 but your kids may very well end up taking care of you. 325 00:15:31,500 --> 00:15:33,580 And you never know what prophet, what. 326 00:15:33,580 --> 00:15:37,740 Apostle, you know, what evangelist, what preacher, what entrepreneur. 327 00:15:37,980 --> 00:15:39,540 You never know who you've got in. 328 00:15:39,540 --> 00:15:42,500 Government sitting in your house and you're changing some poopy 329 00:15:42,500 --> 00:15:44,140 diapers and you're feeding them now. 330 00:15:44,140 --> 00:15:48,620 But how many of you know, don't despise the days of small beginnings. 331 00:15:49,260 --> 00:15:52,460 And so when I think about this story, it's constant adjustments. 332 00:15:53,130 --> 00:15:54,770 It's being willing to adjust. 333 00:15:54,770 --> 00:15:57,930 And to every single mother under the sound of my voice, who 334 00:15:58,010 --> 00:16:00,650 doesn't have the house that they want, with the white picket 335 00:16:00,650 --> 00:16:03,610 fence that doesn't have the square footage that they want. 336 00:16:03,690 --> 00:16:05,570 Listen, some people have a house but. 337 00:16:05,570 --> 00:16:06,970 Don't know how to build a home. 338 00:16:07,290 --> 00:16:10,530 Listen, I'd rather have love in a home than have a nice house. 339 00:16:10,530 --> 00:16:11,530 You get what I'm saying? 340 00:16:11,610 --> 00:16:15,050 I'd rather have the presence of God in a house. 341 00:16:15,290 --> 00:16:15,770 Come on. 342 00:16:15,770 --> 00:16:17,850 Some in a small apartment. 343 00:16:17,930 --> 00:16:19,770 To have the peace of God that. 344 00:16:19,770 --> 00:16:21,450 Rules and reigns in that place. 345 00:16:21,530 --> 00:16:21,790 Thank you. 346 00:16:21,860 --> 00:16:23,340 Than to have a big old empty. 347 00:16:23,340 --> 00:16:24,500 House full of demons. 348 00:16:24,500 --> 00:16:26,260 Does anybody know what I'm talking about? 349 00:16:27,700 --> 00:16:30,340 And so I learned that from Julie's life. 350 00:16:30,340 --> 00:16:32,340 It's the art of adaptability. 351 00:16:32,980 --> 00:16:34,420 The eleventh commandment. 352 00:16:34,420 --> 00:16:35,780 Be thou flexible. 353 00:16:37,859 --> 00:16:39,140 You know what I'm talking about. 354 00:16:39,380 --> 00:16:43,300 You ever have your baby, they blow out their diaper and they. 355 00:16:43,300 --> 00:16:44,900 I mean, it's atomic. 356 00:16:44,900 --> 00:16:49,060 And it shoots up the backside, and somehow it goes from the rear 357 00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:51,920 up their back all the way into their hair. 358 00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:53,320 Have you ever seen that happen? 359 00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:55,240 Come on, bring that picture up. 360 00:16:55,240 --> 00:16:55,960 I'm just playing. 361 00:16:58,280 --> 00:17:00,120 You know, it's like you. 362 00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:04,200 If being a mother teaches you anything, expect the unexpected. 363 00:17:05,399 --> 00:17:08,920 Women have such a higher likelihood of bearing the fruits 364 00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:10,840 of the spirit because they get tested. 365 00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:14,360 They get tested. 366 00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:19,080 There's something about Mary navigating those tests, navigating 367 00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:20,080 those trials. 368 00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:21,360 The pivot. 369 00:17:21,360 --> 00:17:22,640 Everybody say pivot. 370 00:17:23,360 --> 00:17:24,560 See, pivot is. 371 00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:25,440 Watch this. 372 00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:27,040 I'm about to preach something. 373 00:17:27,120 --> 00:17:28,720 Cause I see this with Mary. 374 00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:32,960 When you pivot, you lock one of your feet into position. 375 00:17:34,079 --> 00:17:36,240 But now, this is like, for basketball. 376 00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:39,760 Like, to pivot, you have to keep one of your feet locked in a 377 00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:42,880 position, but then you're able to rotate your other foot. 378 00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:44,880 You're able to move and rotate. 379 00:17:45,350 --> 00:17:48,910 So what happened was when Mary got the assignment to be the mother 380 00:17:48,910 --> 00:17:53,950 of Jesus, to see him, to fulfill his destiny, she locked into 381 00:17:53,950 --> 00:17:54,310 position. 382 00:17:55,110 --> 00:17:57,430 In other words, she said, I'm planting my foot here. 383 00:17:57,510 --> 00:18:00,710 I know what the Lord's called me to do, but I thought I was gonna 384 00:18:00,710 --> 00:18:02,190 be able to build a nice house. 385 00:18:02,190 --> 00:18:05,750 But I'm gonna have to go from this barn to Egypt, and I'm gonna 386 00:18:05,750 --> 00:18:08,190 have to go from Egypt to Nazareth, and I'm gonna have to go 387 00:18:08,190 --> 00:18:10,310 from Nazareth to Jerusalem. 388 00:18:10,310 --> 00:18:12,790 And it may look like transition, but. 389 00:18:12,940 --> 00:18:14,220 But it's really pivot. 390 00:18:14,300 --> 00:18:16,780 Because I have never lost my first position. 391 00:18:17,180 --> 00:18:19,340 I have never given up my first position. 392 00:18:19,660 --> 00:18:22,300 Let me Just preach some revelation to you right now. 393 00:18:22,380 --> 00:18:26,300 When the Lord gives you a child and you become a mother, you 394 00:18:26,300 --> 00:18:28,340 may not be able to choose your physical. 395 00:18:28,340 --> 00:18:31,500 Address, but you can choose your spiritual address. 396 00:18:31,740 --> 00:18:35,900 And you can say, my husband can act however he wants to act. 397 00:18:35,900 --> 00:18:39,920 But as for me and my house, I will not lose this position. 398 00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:43,520 I may have to pivot, but I am not changing my position. 399 00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:45,720 Can somebody help me preach this? 400 00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:48,320 Man, you can drink as much as you want to drink. 401 00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:50,480 You can do as much drugs as you want to. 402 00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:51,840 You can cheat on me. 403 00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:53,160 I made up my mind. 404 00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:54,720 I'm planting my feet here. 405 00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:56,120 I might have to pivot. 406 00:18:56,120 --> 00:18:58,480 But you're not getting me off this position. 407 00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:00,960 I'm not going to sin with sinners. 408 00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:03,360 Anybody know what I'm talking about? 409 00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:05,280 We're going to go to church with. 410 00:19:05,280 --> 00:19:09,040 A blowout tire and a blowout during the through the back. 411 00:19:11,150 --> 00:19:12,190 I'll change a diaper. 412 00:19:12,350 --> 00:19:14,110 I'll change a tire. 413 00:19:14,110 --> 00:19:16,590 The only thing I'm not changing is the mission. 414 00:19:18,030 --> 00:19:19,790 This is going to be the same. 415 00:19:20,190 --> 00:19:22,750 I might be tired, but I'm not giving up. 416 00:19:22,830 --> 00:19:24,590 I might feel like quitting. 417 00:19:24,910 --> 00:19:25,550 Pivot. 418 00:19:27,470 --> 00:19:28,430 You got a word? 419 00:19:28,750 --> 00:19:30,030 Somebody say pivot. 420 00:19:30,750 --> 00:19:33,470 We've pivoted all over New York, haven't we, Jules? 421 00:19:35,080 --> 00:19:37,920 But we refuse to change the position for our mission. 422 00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:43,160 Number two, I want to talk to you about one of the aspects of Mary 423 00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:45,000 that is simply undeniable. 424 00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:47,560 Luke, chapter two, verse 19. 425 00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:49,400 So let's go one chapter over. 426 00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:54,560 But Mary treasured up all these things, pondering them in her 427 00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:54,920 heart. 428 00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:59,640 But Mary treasured up all these things, pondering in her heart. 429 00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:02,760 So when you talk about the endurance of a mother. 430 00:20:03,410 --> 00:20:05,370 Oh, when you talk about the. 431 00:20:05,370 --> 00:20:06,770 It's not about surviving. 432 00:20:07,890 --> 00:20:12,690 It's about holding the weight on that foot that's firmly in position. 433 00:20:13,490 --> 00:20:16,130 Mary had to endure public whispers. 434 00:20:16,690 --> 00:20:17,090 Public. 435 00:20:17,730 --> 00:20:22,650 Julie has had to endure a lot of public whispers, a lot of naysayers, 436 00:20:22,650 --> 00:20:23,650 a lot of gossip. 437 00:20:23,810 --> 00:20:25,090 Do you know their story? 438 00:20:25,330 --> 00:20:26,850 Do you know what Mike did? 439 00:20:27,010 --> 00:20:28,450 Do you know that he cheated? 440 00:20:28,690 --> 00:20:29,730 Do you know that this. 441 00:20:29,730 --> 00:20:32,530 Do you know all these things she's had to endure? 442 00:20:32,530 --> 00:20:32,850 Those. 443 00:20:33,330 --> 00:20:34,130 Those whispers. 444 00:20:34,130 --> 00:20:35,410 Mary had to endure those. 445 00:20:35,410 --> 00:20:40,930 You know, how believable it was to a first century Jew that Jesus 446 00:20:40,930 --> 00:20:43,170 was conceived immaculately? 447 00:20:43,330 --> 00:20:45,410 Try selling that to your local community. 448 00:20:45,890 --> 00:20:47,970 I had a baby without having sex. 449 00:20:47,970 --> 00:20:48,650 Yeah, right. 450 00:20:48,650 --> 00:20:49,170 Mary. 451 00:20:51,650 --> 00:20:56,650 So Mary had to learn how to endure, to stay rooted and planted 452 00:20:56,650 --> 00:21:00,100 in that position, even if it required pivotal. 453 00:21:00,570 --> 00:21:04,010 And when I was thinking about my wife, she's had to endure that. 454 00:21:04,010 --> 00:21:06,690 But this verse, Luke, chapter two, verse 19. 455 00:21:06,690 --> 00:21:10,490 We just skip over it, not realizing the depths of it. 456 00:21:10,570 --> 00:21:11,530 Let me read it again. 457 00:21:11,610 --> 00:21:16,489 But Mary treasured up these things, pondering them in her heart. 458 00:21:16,890 --> 00:21:20,050 Mary didn't ponder their gossip. 459 00:21:20,050 --> 00:21:20,890 In her heart. 460 00:21:22,650 --> 00:21:26,810 She pondered the things that the Lord had said to her that she 461 00:21:26,810 --> 00:21:30,490 came into agreement with, and that became her treasure. 462 00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:31,880 And let me just tell you this. 463 00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:36,760 In a materialistic world where people are seeking physical treasure. 464 00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:37,640 Listen. 465 00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:39,400 Oh, come on, somebody. 466 00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:43,840 She treasured up the word of God, and she pondered that in her 467 00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:44,120 heart. 468 00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:45,920 Listen, you gotta make up your mind. 469 00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:47,440 I don't care what they say. 470 00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:48,680 I care what he said. 471 00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:51,160 And my treasure is not physical. 472 00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:53,480 My treasure is the word of the Lord. 473 00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:56,040 And I'm gonna remember the prophecies he said. 474 00:21:56,380 --> 00:21:58,300 Remember the apostle Paul said to Timothy,. 475 00:21:58,300 --> 00:22:02,340 Timothy, remind yourself of the prophecies that were late said 476 00:22:02,340 --> 00:22:03,700 over your life so. 477 00:22:03,700 --> 00:22:06,140 That you might be able to fight the good warfare. 478 00:22:06,300 --> 00:22:07,580 How many of you know that good. 479 00:22:07,580 --> 00:22:11,900 Warfare is connected to remembering the good words, the good 480 00:22:11,900 --> 00:22:13,620 prophecies, the good dreams. 481 00:22:13,620 --> 00:22:15,260 And see, there was something inside of. 482 00:22:15,260 --> 00:22:18,860 Julie that said, yeah, everything you're whispering is correct, 483 00:22:19,020 --> 00:22:21,100 but make sure you finish the story. 484 00:22:21,420 --> 00:22:26,020 Mike messed up, but God is a God of second chances and third chances. 485 00:22:26,020 --> 00:22:27,250 And there was a test. 486 00:22:27,250 --> 00:22:28,730 There's a testimony in the. 487 00:22:28,810 --> 00:22:30,250 In the midst of that mess, and. 488 00:22:30,330 --> 00:22:33,730 God turned it around, and he'll birth a marriage ministry out 489 00:22:33,730 --> 00:22:35,290 of a dysfunctional marriage. 490 00:22:35,290 --> 00:22:39,410 He'll birth a church and a home spiritually out of a broken 491 00:22:39,410 --> 00:22:39,610 home. 492 00:22:39,610 --> 00:22:41,530 Does anybody believe that, or is it. 493 00:22:41,610 --> 00:22:42,810 Just me right now? 494 00:22:42,810 --> 00:22:46,970 And so it's like sometimes you can't stop them from whispering, 495 00:22:47,130 --> 00:22:51,130 but you can determine what goes into your heart and what you 496 00:22:51,130 --> 00:22:53,770 treasure, because what you treasure, you protect. 497 00:22:55,350 --> 00:22:58,070 Reject their words and protect God's words. 498 00:22:58,950 --> 00:23:02,510 Move God's words into your heart and move their words out of 499 00:23:02,510 --> 00:23:03,030 your heart. 500 00:23:03,510 --> 00:23:03,910 See? 501 00:23:03,910 --> 00:23:04,870 And this is why. 502 00:23:05,350 --> 00:23:07,350 Now, this is just a quick side note. 503 00:23:08,470 --> 00:23:11,350 My wife has a supernatural gift. 504 00:23:12,390 --> 00:23:16,310 And that gift is the ability to throw away anything that I think 505 00:23:16,310 --> 00:23:17,110 is valuable. 506 00:23:18,790 --> 00:23:20,950 It is a supernatural gift. 507 00:23:20,950 --> 00:23:24,050 I mean, and I now believe it's connected to. 508 00:23:24,050 --> 00:23:25,450 My wife can discard things. 509 00:23:25,450 --> 00:23:25,970 She's not. 510 00:23:26,290 --> 00:23:27,810 So it's a supernatural gift. 511 00:23:27,810 --> 00:23:30,570 But I am telling you, the amount of times I've come home to 512 00:23:30,570 --> 00:23:35,250 discover that my best favorite clothes have been donated, that. 513 00:23:39,810 --> 00:23:42,850 But my wife has an ability to let go. 514 00:23:43,250 --> 00:23:44,770 She has an ability to release. 515 00:23:45,090 --> 00:23:48,570 But it's funny, because she'll let go of material things, but she 516 00:23:48,570 --> 00:23:51,690 holds onto the promises of God, and there's a health. 517 00:23:51,690 --> 00:23:53,050 I want to show you this picture. 518 00:23:53,530 --> 00:23:57,610 There was a season where when our church was first getting off 519 00:23:57,610 --> 00:24:00,090 the ground and we were now going multi site. 520 00:24:00,090 --> 00:24:01,370 And we were traveling more and more. 521 00:24:01,370 --> 00:24:03,210 This is picture number two. 522 00:24:03,610 --> 00:24:05,050 Put it up now, please. 523 00:24:06,730 --> 00:24:07,450 There you go. 524 00:24:07,450 --> 00:24:08,250 Thanks, God. 525 00:24:08,970 --> 00:24:10,250 You know, sometimes I'm preaching. 526 00:24:10,250 --> 00:24:12,410 They just get slain in the spirit in the back and they. 527 00:24:13,210 --> 00:24:16,620 So do you remember this picture, Jules? 528 00:24:17,580 --> 00:24:20,460 So there was a time where we were learning. 529 00:24:21,820 --> 00:24:23,420 I'm about to teach y' all something. 530 00:24:23,500 --> 00:24:27,140 We were learning how to survive national church. 531 00:24:27,140 --> 00:24:30,580 So for all of you in Indiana, for all of you in Miami, there was 532 00:24:30,580 --> 00:24:31,780 a pioneering that happened. 533 00:24:31,780 --> 00:24:34,460 And our family had to learn that pioneering together. 534 00:24:34,940 --> 00:24:39,420 And we had this series of events where our flights kept getting 535 00:24:39,420 --> 00:24:41,980 canceled and canceled and canceled and we would be delayed 536 00:24:41,980 --> 00:24:43,140 and trapped in the airport. 537 00:24:43,140 --> 00:24:44,060 Remember this, babe? 538 00:24:44,690 --> 00:24:49,170 And I found this picture because I'm the only one not smiling. 539 00:24:53,410 --> 00:24:58,090 And my wife is like, I've got my Starbucks, I got my man's. 540 00:24:58,090 --> 00:24:59,970 That's what she calls me, her man's. 541 00:25:01,010 --> 00:25:02,530 And we're here together. 542 00:25:02,610 --> 00:25:03,570 How bad is this? 543 00:25:03,570 --> 00:25:05,170 And I'm like, I wanna go home. 544 00:25:05,170 --> 00:25:05,970 God, please. 545 00:25:06,610 --> 00:25:08,490 But there's a pioneering that happened. 546 00:25:08,490 --> 00:25:09,730 But you know what I noticed? 547 00:25:10,540 --> 00:25:14,180 When we are one location church, the problem was our daughter 548 00:25:14,180 --> 00:25:18,940 breaking her arm, living in a little apartment, dragging the laundry 549 00:25:18,940 --> 00:25:22,460 down the street, getting flat tires for six weeks straight. 550 00:25:22,860 --> 00:25:25,340 But then guess what happens when you graduate success. 551 00:25:25,340 --> 00:25:26,780 You graduate problems. 552 00:25:27,340 --> 00:25:31,100 So next time you ask God for more, understand what you're asking 553 00:25:31,100 --> 00:25:31,420 for. 554 00:25:32,860 --> 00:25:36,580 See, Hannah said, lord, give me a baby and I'll give them back 555 00:25:36,580 --> 00:25:37,020 to you. 556 00:25:37,700 --> 00:25:39,220 And she birthed Samuel. 557 00:25:39,380 --> 00:25:40,500 But there had to be. 558 00:25:40,500 --> 00:25:42,820 But there was a pain with that birth. 559 00:25:43,140 --> 00:25:47,100 Mothers understand that what they ask for requires a price to 560 00:25:47,100 --> 00:25:47,700 be paid. 561 00:25:48,100 --> 00:25:51,100 And there's something that we can learn about mothers, that when 562 00:25:51,100 --> 00:25:55,940 we graduate in levels, we also graduate in levels of sacrifice. 563 00:25:56,180 --> 00:26:00,980 And so for those of you who are watching in the campuses nationally, 564 00:26:02,020 --> 00:26:06,840 that was a price that our family paid and we endured it. 565 00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:10,520 But my wife, I noticed something, and I want to end this 566 00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:11,600 message like this. 567 00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:17,680 As I begin to look through the archive of pictures that I have over 568 00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:21,120 the last 10 years of being serving as the founding lead pastor 569 00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:29,880 of V1 Church, my wife was consistently smiling in every single 570 00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:30,160 one. 571 00:26:31,370 --> 00:26:35,930 She was also hurting to some degree in every single one. 572 00:26:36,730 --> 00:26:38,530 And I know the pain of that season. 573 00:26:38,530 --> 00:26:41,930 As a matter of fact, I wanna take you back to one more season. 574 00:26:41,930 --> 00:26:46,609 Because my point number three is there's mothers understand the 575 00:26:46,609 --> 00:26:47,690 courage of presence. 576 00:26:48,490 --> 00:26:53,290 And if you look at John, chapter 19, verse 25, it says, standing 577 00:26:53,290 --> 00:27:00,600 near the cross where Jesus, mother, brothers and followers standing 578 00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:07,080 near the cross, there's a power of presence and that ultimate 579 00:27:07,080 --> 00:27:08,000 pain threshold. 580 00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:11,520 Women know this is when everyone else has fled. 581 00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:13,040 Mary stood. 582 00:27:13,679 --> 00:27:18,080 When everybody else was ashamed to be connected, Mary stood. 583 00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:22,720 I think that's my wife bleeds the gospel. 584 00:27:23,120 --> 00:27:26,150 She bleeds the message of Jesus Christ. 585 00:27:26,550 --> 00:27:32,110 She also bleeds V1 church and there's been times where people have 586 00:27:32,110 --> 00:27:32,550 fled. 587 00:27:33,110 --> 00:27:36,390 But my wife stood just like Mary and said, I'm going to be here 588 00:27:36,550 --> 00:27:37,590 through all of it. 589 00:27:38,150 --> 00:27:39,190 I'm not ashamed. 590 00:27:39,190 --> 00:27:39,750 I know. 591 00:27:39,990 --> 00:27:43,150 Remember, she anchored her foot and she's. 592 00:27:43,150 --> 00:27:45,750 And now Mary does another pivot. 593 00:27:45,830 --> 00:27:46,990 Here I am at the cross. 594 00:27:46,990 --> 00:27:48,310 I don't understand the cross. 595 00:27:48,390 --> 00:27:49,750 I don't know why I'm here. 596 00:27:49,910 --> 00:27:50,710 I don't understand. 597 00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:55,840 But I know in the beginning, my story started when an angel showed 598 00:27:55,840 --> 00:27:56,120 up. 599 00:27:56,120 --> 00:27:59,400 And that angel told me that you were gonna give birth to the 600 00:27:59,400 --> 00:27:59,960 Messiah. 601 00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:04,440 And I said, God, let me come into agreement with everything that 602 00:28:04,440 --> 00:28:05,560 you say about me. 603 00:28:05,720 --> 00:28:10,440 And now Mary is in front of the cross with her son Jesus, not 604 00:28:10,440 --> 00:28:13,480 understanding just like she didn't understand in the beginning, 605 00:28:13,560 --> 00:28:17,980 but simply surrendering and saying, think about this, Peter. 606 00:28:18,300 --> 00:28:23,220 Big old tough fisherman, blue collar man work with his hands, willing 607 00:28:23,220 --> 00:28:26,300 to take a sword and kill somebody but run scared. 608 00:28:26,460 --> 00:28:29,860 And there's a little woman named Mary who stands at the foot 609 00:28:29,860 --> 00:28:34,380 of the cross and says, I'm not scared because I know who Jesus really 610 00:28:34,380 --> 00:28:34,700 is. 611 00:28:34,700 --> 00:28:37,660 She had a little old woman, had more courage than a big. 612 00:28:37,820 --> 00:28:39,020 A big burly man. 613 00:28:39,020 --> 00:28:42,260 How many of you are thankful for those prayer warrior mothers 614 00:28:42,260 --> 00:28:42,940 that we have? 615 00:28:43,350 --> 00:28:47,430 Those little women that they might be little in stature, but in 616 00:28:47,430 --> 00:28:48,550 front of giants? 617 00:28:48,550 --> 00:28:49,070 Come on. 618 00:28:49,070 --> 00:28:50,710 They are greater through Christ. 619 00:28:51,030 --> 00:28:52,070 You know what I'm talking about. 620 00:28:52,070 --> 00:28:54,030 That mother that'll stand up to a. 621 00:28:54,030 --> 00:28:56,830 Cancer diagnosis and say, God is going. 622 00:28:56,830 --> 00:29:00,510 To get glory out of this situation and God is going to show 623 00:29:00,510 --> 00:29:03,270 himself faithful and I'll live and not die. 624 00:29:03,270 --> 00:29:06,790 A mother that will get the news about a child being lost and 625 00:29:06,790 --> 00:29:09,990 say, well, we'll come together and we'll still eat good and God 626 00:29:09,990 --> 00:29:10,790 will make a way. 627 00:29:11,080 --> 00:29:12,720 The faith of a mother like Mary. 628 00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:16,920 That will stand at the foot of the cross saying, I'm still never 629 00:29:17,080 --> 00:29:18,600 leaving my position. 630 00:29:20,040 --> 00:29:23,480 I'm still never leaving my position. 631 00:29:24,120 --> 00:29:26,840 This is to every mother under the sound of my voice. 632 00:29:27,160 --> 00:29:30,920 Do not deviate one inch off of what God told you. 633 00:29:31,080 --> 00:29:33,480 If God said it, you will see it. 634 00:29:33,800 --> 00:29:38,630 If God promised it, it will come to pass just like Mary, because 635 00:29:38,630 --> 00:29:38,910 the. 636 00:29:38,910 --> 00:29:43,230 Same Mary that witnessed the cross, witnessed the resurrection. 637 00:29:43,310 --> 00:29:44,550 And let me just tell you, some. 638 00:29:44,550 --> 00:29:46,830 Of you are going through some dark times right now. 639 00:29:47,150 --> 00:29:48,990 And I remember My mother crying. 640 00:29:49,150 --> 00:29:53,750 And Sandra would say, God, how could you work this situation out 641 00:29:53,750 --> 00:29:54,030 again? 642 00:29:54,350 --> 00:29:56,670 It continues to get worse and worse. 643 00:29:56,910 --> 00:29:59,510 My mom didn't know that there was going to come a day when she 644 00:29:59,510 --> 00:30:03,720 was in a movie across 2,000 theaters in the U.S. she didn't know 645 00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:05,920 she was gonna be in a stadium telling our story. 646 00:30:06,240 --> 00:30:07,320 She didn't know that she. 647 00:30:07,320 --> 00:30:09,640 We couldn't have understood what God was doing. 648 00:30:09,640 --> 00:30:13,280 But how many of you know that God is, well, able to do everything? 649 00:30:13,360 --> 00:30:14,000 Come on. 650 00:30:14,160 --> 00:30:16,320 Exceedingly and abundantly. 651 00:30:16,640 --> 00:30:19,440 More than you can think, ask, or imagine. 652 00:30:19,680 --> 00:30:20,200 Come on. 653 00:30:20,200 --> 00:30:21,680 I'm speaking to the mothers right now. 654 00:30:21,680 --> 00:30:23,160 God will do more than you can. 655 00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:24,560 Even think or imagine. 656 00:30:24,640 --> 00:30:26,560 He'll exceed your expectation. 657 00:30:26,800 --> 00:30:28,280 God's not trying to meet him. 658 00:30:28,280 --> 00:30:29,020 He's trying to exceed. 659 00:30:29,170 --> 00:30:29,570 Seen Him. 660 00:30:29,570 --> 00:30:33,330 But you got to go back to that word he gave you, back to faith, 661 00:30:33,410 --> 00:30:34,770 back to what he showed you. 662 00:30:34,770 --> 00:30:37,730 And like Mary, you got to treasure it up in your heart and 663 00:30:37,730 --> 00:30:41,890 say, I love my Louis Vuitton, but I really love what the Lord said 664 00:30:41,890 --> 00:30:42,450 over me. 665 00:30:42,450 --> 00:30:46,370 I love my car, but I really love what the Lord said over me. 666 00:30:46,370 --> 00:30:50,370 And what I'm letting in my heart is not the whispers of demonic 667 00:30:50,370 --> 00:30:53,890 voices around me, but I'm gonna bring his word and hide it 668 00:30:53,890 --> 00:30:54,690 into my heart. 669 00:30:55,030 --> 00:30:58,390 And that will be the only thing that I rest upon. 670 00:31:00,710 --> 00:31:04,390 Lastly, I want to show you this last picture. 671 00:31:07,030 --> 00:31:09,270 This is my wife right out of surgery. 672 00:31:10,470 --> 00:31:14,310 And here we are launching campuses. 673 00:31:15,190 --> 00:31:18,390 And for a little while, it felt like I was a single dad because 674 00:31:18,790 --> 00:31:23,320 she was bedridden, and we were trying to figure out how to navigate 675 00:31:23,320 --> 00:31:24,440 that season of our life. 676 00:31:24,440 --> 00:31:25,760 And she was trying to do her best. 677 00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:29,560 But you guys, who maybe were not a part of our church for that 678 00:31:29,560 --> 00:31:31,640 season, you remember this, Julie. 679 00:31:31,640 --> 00:31:33,280 It took everything you had to even. 680 00:31:33,360 --> 00:31:36,880 I mean, you were drinking bone broth all day, and it was hard for 681 00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:38,600 you to walk from the bedroom to the bathroom. 682 00:31:38,600 --> 00:31:40,240 And we thought we were gonna lose you. 683 00:31:40,640 --> 00:31:44,360 If you look at pictures back to that time, I mean, you were just 684 00:31:44,360 --> 00:31:45,280 skin and bones. 685 00:31:46,250 --> 00:31:48,090 And it was a very devastating season. 686 00:31:48,090 --> 00:31:52,490 And the fact is, my wife ended up in this condition because she 687 00:31:52,490 --> 00:31:53,250 had obeyed. 688 00:31:53,250 --> 00:31:54,730 Think about what I'm saying to you. 689 00:31:55,370 --> 00:32:00,730 She obeyed the will of the Father to travel with me to Ukraine 690 00:32:01,210 --> 00:32:02,890 to do a women's conference. 691 00:32:03,690 --> 00:32:06,330 Everybody wants the pulpit, but they don't want the pain. 692 00:32:07,370 --> 00:32:09,730 Everybody wants the destination, but they don't want 693 00:32:09,730 --> 00:32:10,490 the journey. 694 00:32:11,050 --> 00:32:13,610 There's something about this picture. 695 00:32:14,730 --> 00:32:17,210 I didn't say, hey, let's take a picture. 696 00:32:17,210 --> 00:32:17,770 Smile. 697 00:32:18,490 --> 00:32:21,610 But I noticed that my wife smiles in every season. 698 00:32:22,330 --> 00:32:24,330 You don't impress me with your Greek. 699 00:32:24,970 --> 00:32:26,890 You don't impress me with your Hebrew. 700 00:32:27,130 --> 00:32:29,530 You don't impress me with your vocabulary. 701 00:32:29,610 --> 00:32:33,690 But my wife's theology has been made perfect through her smile, 702 00:32:34,090 --> 00:32:39,580 because it's the proof that she knows who God says he is is something 703 00:32:39,580 --> 00:32:40,700 that you can bank on. 704 00:32:40,700 --> 00:32:41,460 And it's true. 705 00:32:41,700 --> 00:32:44,180 That smile is perfect theology. 706 00:32:44,660 --> 00:32:47,140 That smile is, I know the great I am. 707 00:32:47,300 --> 00:32:49,540 I don't know why I'm in this hospital bed. 708 00:32:49,540 --> 00:32:52,100 I don't know why my daughter's arm was broken. 709 00:32:52,100 --> 00:32:54,500 I don't know why all these things I got. 710 00:32:54,500 --> 00:32:57,220 I got this in pursuit of your will. 711 00:32:57,300 --> 00:33:01,260 She got the virus, drinking water from Ukraine, preaching to 712 00:33:01,260 --> 00:33:01,540 women. 713 00:33:01,780 --> 00:33:05,600 But she said, God, I'm not going to be mad at you, but I'm going 714 00:33:05,600 --> 00:33:06,440 to know that you're going to. 715 00:33:06,440 --> 00:33:07,720 Bring me on the other side. 716 00:33:07,800 --> 00:33:11,560 And how many of you know that God took this moment, turned it into 717 00:33:11,560 --> 00:33:13,560 a song called I Believe It? 718 00:33:13,560 --> 00:33:15,320 Come on, you said it. 719 00:33:15,320 --> 00:33:16,200 I believe It. 720 00:33:16,200 --> 00:33:20,720 And the song that came out of this surgery has been sung all over 721 00:33:20,720 --> 00:33:22,680 the world and charted on the. 722 00:33:22,680 --> 00:33:23,480 On the charts. 723 00:33:23,560 --> 00:33:25,800 But listen, she didn't do it for that reason. 724 00:33:26,120 --> 00:33:28,000 She did it because she said, God,. 725 00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:31,640 Just like Mary, whatever you tell me to do, wherever you tell 726 00:33:31,640 --> 00:33:35,560 me to go, I'll do it and I'll do it, and I'll do it again and again 727 00:33:35,560 --> 00:33:36,080 and again. 728 00:33:36,240 --> 00:33:41,360 There are some mothers that they sacrifice in one season, but 729 00:33:41,360 --> 00:33:42,960 they give up in another season. 730 00:33:43,520 --> 00:33:47,080 But there are these other mothers that in every season, they 731 00:33:47,080 --> 00:33:50,400 make a new commitment to say, I'll sacrifice again. 732 00:33:50,560 --> 00:33:51,920 I'll sacrifice again. 733 00:33:52,080 --> 00:33:53,440 I'll sacrifice again. 734 00:33:53,680 --> 00:33:57,450 So this is to every single mother that has made a decision that 735 00:33:57,450 --> 00:33:59,970 I will sacrifice every single time. 736 00:34:00,290 --> 00:34:01,730 And I don't want to do it. 737 00:34:01,730 --> 00:34:05,330 I don't feel like doing it, but I will sacrifice every time. 738 00:34:05,410 --> 00:34:09,170 I want every single campus right now to give a standing ovation 739 00:34:09,170 --> 00:34:13,370 for the mothers that know how to sacrifice in every season and 740 00:34:13,370 --> 00:34:14,850 have refused to give up. 741 00:34:15,090 --> 00:34:16,690 Come on, you can do better than that. 742 00:34:16,690 --> 00:34:18,290 Let's give them everything we got. 743 00:34:18,450 --> 00:34:19,570 Come on, Brooklyn. 744 00:34:19,570 --> 00:34:20,650 Come on, Manhattan. 745 00:34:20,650 --> 00:34:21,810 Come on, New Jersey. 746 00:34:21,970 --> 00:34:22,410 Come on. 747 00:34:22,410 --> 00:34:26,370 Let's put our hands together for them that know how to sacrifice 748 00:34:26,610 --> 00:34:29,550 in every single season. 749 00:35:22,081 --> 00:35:25,681 Mary, the cross is not the end of the story. 750 00:35:26,081 --> 00:35:29,041 The cross is the part right before the best part. 751 00:35:29,201 --> 00:35:30,601 How many of you know it gets. 752 00:35:30,601 --> 00:35:32,561 The darkest right before it gets light? 753 00:35:32,880 --> 00:35:35,081 How many of you know that you might be going through something 754 00:35:35,081 --> 00:35:35,481 right now? 755 00:35:35,481 --> 00:35:36,521 I want to pray for each and. 756 00:35:36,521 --> 00:35:39,121 Every one of you that you're like, I don't see It. 757 00:35:39,361 --> 00:35:40,721 My wife barricaded. 758 00:35:40,721 --> 00:35:45,061 The very last time that I got drunk, my wife barricaded the door 759 00:35:45,061 --> 00:35:45,981 of our apartment. 760 00:35:46,141 --> 00:35:49,661 This was almost, I don't know, 15 plus years ago. 761 00:35:50,061 --> 00:35:52,541 And she said, I'm not letting you out of the house. 762 00:35:53,901 --> 00:35:56,461 She said, you are not Johnny Cash. 763 00:35:57,261 --> 00:35:57,901 You are. 764 00:35:57,981 --> 00:35:59,421 This is what she said to me. 765 00:35:59,421 --> 00:36:02,381 Now, believe me when I tell you we didn't even have this church. 766 00:36:02,381 --> 00:36:03,581 We didn't have no church. 767 00:36:04,701 --> 00:36:06,621 And I'm in a drunken stupor. 768 00:36:07,341 --> 00:36:10,061 I am actively giving up on myself. 769 00:36:10,581 --> 00:36:12,821 I am actively destroying my life. 770 00:36:13,141 --> 00:36:15,781 I am actively sabotaging my future. 771 00:36:16,181 --> 00:36:21,061 And my wife, my little five foot three wife with shoes on, probably, 772 00:36:21,701 --> 00:36:25,821 she barricades the front door and she says, mike, you are not Johnny 773 00:36:25,821 --> 00:36:26,181 Cash. 774 00:36:27,461 --> 00:36:32,181 You are a global church planter and you will plant many churches 775 00:36:32,341 --> 00:36:34,581 and you will not leave this house. 776 00:36:34,581 --> 00:36:37,061 You go up in the room and go to bed and sober up. 777 00:36:37,431 --> 00:36:39,431 And I'm telling you, that was the very last time. 778 00:36:39,431 --> 00:36:44,071 And I just made up my mind because Julie treasured up the words 779 00:36:44,071 --> 00:36:44,951 that were said. 780 00:36:45,591 --> 00:36:47,191 She hid them in her heart. 781 00:36:47,271 --> 00:36:51,111 And she said, even if Mike stopped believing it, I believe it. 782 00:36:51,351 --> 00:36:54,871 And she is reaping off of that many years later. 783 00:36:55,271 --> 00:36:58,631 And I. I don't know why I feel so led to say this to some of you, 784 00:36:58,631 --> 00:36:59,191 because you. 785 00:36:59,191 --> 00:37:02,991 You look at your husband, you look at your spouse, you look at 786 00:37:02,991 --> 00:37:03,271 your. 787 00:37:03,581 --> 00:37:05,301 Your season, and it doesn't add up. 788 00:37:05,301 --> 00:37:08,701 You're like, God, how could you take this and make something 789 00:37:08,781 --> 00:37:09,461 out of this? 790 00:37:09,461 --> 00:37:12,941 You look at your children, you look at your bank account, and you're 791 00:37:12,941 --> 00:37:13,101 like,. 792 00:37:13,101 --> 00:37:14,061 God, how could you. 793 00:37:14,061 --> 00:37:15,221 How could you take the. 794 00:37:15,221 --> 00:37:16,661 And you know, it's like a mother. 795 00:37:16,661 --> 00:37:17,021 You. 796 00:37:17,021 --> 00:37:20,421 You go to the grocery store and you buy the ingredients for the 797 00:37:20,421 --> 00:37:20,741 meal. 798 00:37:20,741 --> 00:37:24,021 And I think sometimes you look at the ingredients of your life and 799 00:37:24,021 --> 00:37:25,101 you say, God, how. 800 00:37:25,101 --> 00:37:28,861 How could you promise me this, but. 801 00:37:28,861 --> 00:37:30,621 Make it with these ingredients? 802 00:37:31,521 --> 00:37:32,761 And that's the factor. 803 00:37:32,761 --> 00:37:34,081 And I think my wife is like,. 804 00:37:34,321 --> 00:37:36,761 I don't know how you take Mike's. 805 00:37:36,761 --> 00:37:40,241 Alcoholism and his propensity to destroy his life. 806 00:37:40,321 --> 00:37:41,681 I don't know how you take our. 807 00:37:41,681 --> 00:37:43,561 Poverty and all this stuff we're in. 808 00:37:43,561 --> 00:37:44,841 I don't know how you take that. 809 00:37:44,841 --> 00:37:45,561 And you make. 810 00:37:45,561 --> 00:37:47,200 All I know is you said it. 811 00:37:47,681 --> 00:37:50,481 And I believe it and that settles it. 812 00:37:51,921 --> 00:37:56,081 This is like, Mary, I don't know how you take a teenager and 813 00:37:56,081 --> 00:37:57,761 give Christ the Messiah. 814 00:37:58,991 --> 00:38:00,431 I'm betrothed to be married. 815 00:38:00,431 --> 00:38:04,591 I don't know how you take these raw ingredients and you save 816 00:38:04,591 --> 00:38:05,791 the world out of it. 817 00:38:06,591 --> 00:38:08,351 But far be it from me. 818 00:38:12,751 --> 00:38:17,791 I wonder if when Jesus was in the garden and he said, nevertheless, 819 00:38:19,151 --> 00:38:21,231 I wonder if he learned that from his mama. 820 00:38:26,041 --> 00:38:26,521 I wonder. 821 00:38:26,601 --> 00:38:27,241 I wonder. 822 00:38:27,641 --> 00:38:29,401 Because it was the human side. 823 00:38:30,601 --> 00:38:34,241 It was the human side of them that said, if it be possible, let 824 00:38:34,241 --> 00:38:35,241 this cup pass. 825 00:38:35,561 --> 00:38:37,481 Every mother knows what I'm talking about. 826 00:38:37,801 --> 00:38:41,321 Every mother says, if it's possible, God, get me out of this. 827 00:38:41,561 --> 00:38:44,241 If it's possible to sleep through the night and not have to 828 00:38:44,241 --> 00:38:47,481 nurse this baby and not have to feed this baby, if it be possible, 829 00:38:47,641 --> 00:38:48,801 let this cup pass me. 830 00:38:48,801 --> 00:38:50,051 Everybody knows what I'm talking about. 831 00:38:50,281 --> 00:38:54,681 About Mary was like, nevertheless. 832 00:38:55,561 --> 00:38:59,041 And I wonder if when Jesus, that human part of Jesus wanted to 833 00:38:59,041 --> 00:38:59,321 fail. 834 00:39:00,761 --> 00:39:03,241 I wonder if it's what he inherited from Mary,. 835 00:39:05,001 --> 00:39:05,361 Who. 836 00:39:05,361 --> 00:39:06,921 I got chills all over me. 837 00:39:07,321 --> 00:39:12,401 I wonder if that was Mary's side, who said, whatever you say, 838 00:39:12,401 --> 00:39:15,401 Lord, I'm gonna be like my mama now. 839 00:39:15,971 --> 00:39:16,971 I'll go all the way. 840 00:39:16,971 --> 00:39:19,811 She said, yes, and I say yes. 841 00:39:20,291 --> 00:39:24,251 Let me just tell all the Marys out there right now, because you 842 00:39:24,251 --> 00:39:24,531 said. 843 00:39:24,531 --> 00:39:27,491 Yes, it becomes your child's yes. 844 00:39:28,211 --> 00:39:32,491 Because you said yes, it becomes your great grandchildren's 845 00:39:32,491 --> 00:39:32,931 yes. 846 00:39:33,491 --> 00:39:34,851 Because you said yes. 847 00:39:34,851 --> 00:39:37,571 That yes travels down a generation. 848 00:39:37,891 --> 00:39:40,771 I believe that your yes is about to be amplified. 849 00:39:41,531 --> 00:39:45,411 If you want to say yes to Jesus across every single campus 850 00:39:45,411 --> 00:39:48,651 right now, on the count of three, if you want to surrender your 851 00:39:48,651 --> 00:39:51,651 life, if you want to give him your life, if you want to confess 852 00:39:51,651 --> 00:39:55,131 Christ as Savior, if you want to surrender your family to him, 853 00:39:55,211 --> 00:39:58,931 when I say three, I want you to just lift your hand and we are 854 00:39:58,931 --> 00:40:01,851 going to give our lives to Jesus Christ and we're going to say 855 00:40:01,851 --> 00:40:02,251 yes. 856 00:40:02,411 --> 00:40:05,211 Somebody's child is about to get saved right now. 857 00:40:05,371 --> 00:40:08,571 Somebody's going to receive the greatest Mother's Day as they 858 00:40:08,571 --> 00:40:11,611 see their own spouse give their life to Jesus right now. 859 00:40:12,121 --> 00:40:14,001 One, two, three. 860 00:40:14,001 --> 00:40:16,041 If that's you, come on, lift your hands. 861 00:40:16,041 --> 00:40:17,401 Lord, I give you my life. 862 00:40:17,561 --> 00:40:19,601 Come on across every campus right now. 863 00:40:19,601 --> 00:40:21,961 Borrow my words and say this out loud. 864

new. 867 00:40:33,801 --> 00:40:37,561 I choose to serve you all the days of my life. 868 00:40:38,041 --> 00:40:43,161 And like Mary, I give you my yes in Jesus name. 869 00:40:43,781 -->
