You see, 40 00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:29,840 Speaker 4: sometimes we don't appreciate what God has given us. We 41 00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:33,880 Speaker 4: don't understand this gift and the purpose that we're here for. 42 00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:38,520 Speaker 4: And I believe when we shake ourselves and we say listen, listen, 43 00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:39,960 Speaker 4: I'm not here by accident. 44 00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:42,520 Speaker 5: I'm not here because my parents wanted a baby. 45 00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:45,600 Speaker 4: I'm not here just to take up spaith and time 46 00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:48,840 Speaker 4: on this earth, but I'm here for an eternal reason. 47 00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:55,079 Speaker 5: My being here has meaning and my life matters. 48 00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:58,520 Speaker 4: You see, when God looks at you, he looks at 49 00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:01,880 Speaker 4: you like you matter, and he wants you to take 50 00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:04,639 Speaker 4: what He's given you, and he wants you to mix it. 51 00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:07,640 Speaker 5: With faith, and he wants you to move forward on 52 00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:08,200 Speaker 5: this earth. 53 00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:12,640 Speaker 4: You see a lot of times we can't see what 54 00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:13,600 Speaker 4: God has given us. 55 00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:15,120 Speaker 5: Let's just be really real. 56 00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:19,480 Speaker 4: You know, sometimes we can't see the gifts and talents. 57 00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:21,399 Speaker 4: We can look at other people and we can see 58 00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:24,440 Speaker 4: how they excel. We can see how they've got such 59 00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:27,600 Speaker 4: a great personality. Oh, it seems so easy for them. 60 00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:31,320 Speaker 4: They can just do this. They're so creative. Oh they're 61 00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:34,200 Speaker 4: so smart. How can they figure all that out? We 62 00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:37,240 Speaker 4: can see it in others, but we can't always see 63 00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:41,320 Speaker 4: it in ourselfs. And see when we can't see it 64 00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:45,200 Speaker 4: in ourselves doesn't mean it's not there. See, God sees 65 00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:48,360 Speaker 4: it in us because God put it there. The Bible 66 00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:51,680 Speaker 4: says when Jesus went to Earth, he led the captives free, 67 00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:55,400 Speaker 4: and he gave gifts to men. Do you know He's 68 00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:58,760 Speaker 4: given you gifts? We don't all have the same gifts. 69 00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:01,360 Speaker 4: We've got to be comfortable with our gifts. We got 70 00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:03,880 Speaker 4: to be able to recognize our gifts. We've got to 71 00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:06,480 Speaker 4: walk in those gifts and not compare those gifts. 72 00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:08,680 Speaker 5: We got to know that our gifts. 73 00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:12,360 Speaker 4: Are here for a purpose, and we've got to appreciate 74 00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:16,000 Speaker 4: what God has given us. I think about Moses. He 75 00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:19,080 Speaker 4: was raised as an Egyptian. He ended up fleeing to 76 00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:21,880 Speaker 4: the wilderness, and he was there for forty years. 77 00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:23,520 Speaker 5: God appeared to. 78 00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:26,599 Speaker 4: Him in a burning bush one day and says, Moses, 79 00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:28,120 Speaker 4: I have an assignment for you. 80 00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:29,240 Speaker 5: Now. 81 00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:33,039 Speaker 4: God knew exactly who he was talking to. He knew 82 00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:37,000 Speaker 4: everything about Moses. He created Moses. He saw Moses floating 83 00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:39,320 Speaker 4: down the river. He saw Moses when he lived in 84 00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:42,279 Speaker 4: the palace. He saw Moses when he was afraid and 85 00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:43,440 Speaker 4: ran to the desert. 86 00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:46,719 Speaker 5: He knew exactly who Moses was. He knew he was 87 00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:47,320 Speaker 5: dealing with. 88 00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:50,920 Speaker 4: He said, Moses, I want you to lead my people 89 00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:54,720 Speaker 4: out of Egypt into the Promised Land because I'm. 90 00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:56,599 Speaker 5: Doing a work and I'm going to use you to 91 00:04:56,640 --> 00:04:58,800 Speaker 5: do it. See it's so interesting. 92 00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:01,719 Speaker 4: I can only imagine Mo standing there like, really, God, 93 00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:05,200 Speaker 4: it says an exodent's for he literally pleaded with God. 94 00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:08,880 Speaker 5: He said, no, God, not me. You got the wrong man. 95 00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:13,520 Speaker 4: God, I stutter, I can't speak well, I can't carry 96 00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:17,119 Speaker 4: this assignment out. I'm sure he was thinking about his past. 97 00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:19,200 Speaker 4: I'm sure he was thinking about how I've been in 98 00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:22,360 Speaker 4: the desert. Lord, you don't know, I mean, you got 99 00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:25,640 Speaker 4: the wrong man. But God was saying, no, I've been 100 00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:30,200 Speaker 4: shaping you from the beginning. Every experience you have, every 101 00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:32,880 Speaker 4: gift God places in you, has brought you for such 102 00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:35,240 Speaker 4: a time as this, for this assignment. 103 00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:39,640 Speaker 5: And you know, God used Moses in a powerful. 104 00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:43,839 Speaker 4: Way, even though Moses couldn't see what God had placed 105 00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:44,440 Speaker 4: in his life. 106 00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:46,720 Speaker 5: I find it very interesting. 107 00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:50,599 Speaker 4: In Acts seven, twenty two, hundreds of years later, after 108 00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:53,760 Speaker 4: Moses was dead, this is what the writer of Acts 109 00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:57,200 Speaker 4: wrote about Moses. Says, Moses was well educated in all 110 00:05:57,240 --> 00:06:02,360 Speaker 4: the wisdom of the Egyptian, and he was powerful in 111 00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:08,880 Speaker 4: speech and action. Moses was powerful in speech and action. 112 00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:11,880 Speaker 4: That was a far cry from what he thought about himself. 113 00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:15,960 Speaker 4: It was a far crid from what he was telling God. See, 114 00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:19,680 Speaker 4: isn't it interesting what he couldn't see in himself, God 115 00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:20,360 Speaker 4: had others see. 116 00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:21,440 Speaker 3: See. 117 00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:25,120 Speaker 4: You may not be able to see your gifts, your talents, 118 00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:28,039 Speaker 4: your abilities, But can I tell you if you will 119 00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:31,160 Speaker 4: use them for God. Let God take those and turn 120 00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:35,240 Speaker 4: them into supernatural abilities. People will see what you have 121 00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:39,880 Speaker 4: and you will accomplish great things in your life. But 122 00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:44,320 Speaker 4: it's up to us to mix our abilities, our gifts 123 00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:47,280 Speaker 4: that God's given us with faith and get up every 124 00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:49,680 Speaker 4: day and put one foot in front of the other. 125 00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:51,960 Speaker 4: Because I can tell you when God asked you to 126 00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:54,760 Speaker 4: do something. Can I just give you a little hint 127 00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:56,880 Speaker 4: right now that you probably already know is. 128 00:06:56,839 --> 00:06:59,719 Speaker 5: Not gonna be easy. God's gonna call you to some 129 00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:00,480 Speaker 5: heart stuff. 130 00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:05,120 Speaker 4: Why God, I like easy, I like comfortable. 131 00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:05,480 Speaker 5: God. 132 00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:07,760 Speaker 4: I like to do those things that are easy for 133 00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:10,760 Speaker 4: me to do. God's saying, I want to I want 134 00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:12,240 Speaker 4: you to take those things that are easy for you 135 00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:14,440 Speaker 4: to do and those things that are difficult for you 136 00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:16,000 Speaker 4: to do, and I want you to give them to me, 137 00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:17,920 Speaker 4: because see those. 138 00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:19,880 Speaker 5: Difficult places, that's where you grow. 139 00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:23,880 Speaker 4: When God speaks to those difficult places, you know what 140 00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:24,400 Speaker 4: he's doing. 141 00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:25,440 Speaker 5: He's not being me. 142 00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:30,960 Speaker 4: He's speaking to your potential. He's saying If you stay here, you're. 143 00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:35,800 Speaker 5: Not gonna become everything you were designed to be. He's 144 00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:36,760 Speaker 5: not gonna. 145 00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:39,640 Speaker 4: Call you to the easy places. He's gonna call you 146 00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:43,680 Speaker 4: to some tough things. But just like Moses, you're gonna 147 00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:47,200 Speaker 4: look back and you're gonna go. God, you did more 148 00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:50,040 Speaker 4: than I could ask, think or imagine. God, You've fulfilled 149 00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:53,960 Speaker 4: my life. You've enriched my life. But see, all along 150 00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:56,760 Speaker 4: the way, we're gonna have to stir up the gifts 151 00:07:56,760 --> 00:07:59,560 Speaker 4: of God within us. We're gonna have to use our faith. 152 00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:03,480 Speaker 4: We're gonna have to believe in our abilities. The apostle 153 00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:06,800 Speaker 4: Paul wrote to a young man named Timothy. He wrote 154 00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:09,320 Speaker 4: a letter to him for two reasons, One because he 155 00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:12,560 Speaker 4: loved him, and two because he saw that Timothy was 156 00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:16,680 Speaker 4: extremely discouraged. He was facing some situations and he did 157 00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:19,880 Speaker 4: not feel like he had the ability to carry out 158 00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:23,040 Speaker 4: what God had called him to do. In fact, his mentor, 159 00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:26,640 Speaker 4: Paul was in prison, the mastermind of everything, and he thought, 160 00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:29,440 Speaker 4: oh my gosh, am I ever gonna see Paul again? 161 00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:32,960 Speaker 5: I mean, I need Paul. Have you ever needed someone? 162 00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:35,040 Speaker 5: Can you come with me? I'll do it if you 163 00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:35,680 Speaker 5: could come with me. 164 00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:39,560 Speaker 4: That's probably how he felt, Paul, where are you. I 165 00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:44,040 Speaker 4: cannot do this by myself. I'm young, you see. 166 00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:47,240 Speaker 5: But Paul wanted him to know this, but he could. 167 00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:51,200 Speaker 4: So Paul said, there's a combination, a winning combination. 168 00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:52,720 Speaker 5: I want to tell you about it. So we wrote 169 00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:53,000 Speaker 5: him a. 170 00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:57,720 Speaker 4: Letter and he said, Timothy, I'm writing you this letter 171 00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:02,319 Speaker 4: to remind you to stir up the gifts of God 172 00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:06,280 Speaker 4: within you by faith. But since it's Mother's Day, can 173 00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:08,520 Speaker 4: I back up in that letter and just tell you 174 00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:10,440 Speaker 4: one thing that Paul said to all of you mothers 175 00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:13,200 Speaker 4: out there. I don't want you to take this mother 176 00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:16,040 Speaker 4: to heart, because I really believe this is what God's 177 00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:20,120 Speaker 4: saying to you today. He's saying, he wrote this. He said, Timothy, 178 00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:26,400 Speaker 4: I see the faith of your grandmother and of your mother, 179 00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:31,000 Speaker 4: and the faith that they had I'm sure lives in you. 180 00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:35,920 Speaker 4: What a compliment I mean for a mother, that's a 181 00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:37,120 Speaker 4: very good compliment. 182 00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:39,560 Speaker 5: If you see that I was a good example to 183 00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:40,320 Speaker 5: my children. 184 00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:45,280 Speaker 4: He was saying, I see that you came from a 185 00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:46,079 Speaker 4: good example. 186 00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:48,320 Speaker 5: You've learned how to live. 187 00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:53,640 Speaker 4: But then he said this, Paul, I believe this faith 188 00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:57,320 Speaker 4: lives in you, So it's time for you to use 189 00:09:57,400 --> 00:10:01,840 Speaker 4: your faith and stir up your gift. I think in essence, 190 00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:04,520 Speaker 4: he was really giving those mothers the greatest compliment in 191 00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:08,480 Speaker 4: the world. He was charging their son to say, don't 192 00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:10,040 Speaker 4: live off your mama's faith. 193 00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:12,960 Speaker 5: God's great that you have an example. 194 00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:16,120 Speaker 4: But it's time to find your faith, and it's time 195 00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:19,199 Speaker 4: to mix it with your ability, because you've. 196 00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:22,840 Speaker 5: Got a job to do. You see the breath of encouragement. 197 00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:26,720 Speaker 5: It's the greatest gift you can give someone's child, to say, 198 00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:27,680 Speaker 5: find your faith. 199 00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:31,160 Speaker 4: You See, my dream would be that my children would 200 00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:32,240 Speaker 4: find their own faith. 201 00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:34,800 Speaker 5: Yes, I've been a good example, but. 202 00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:37,560 Speaker 4: They would find their faith and they would mix that 203 00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:40,360 Speaker 4: faith with the ability and the gifts that God's given them, 204 00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:44,360 Speaker 4: and they would charge into this world having a positive effect, 205 00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:48,079 Speaker 4: an eternal result on this earth. See, they're not here 206 00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:51,480 Speaker 4: by accident, and neither are you. They're here for a purpose. 207 00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:54,840 Speaker 4: You're going to go through many different seasons of life. 208 00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:58,600 Speaker 4: Don't just do it thinking you're getting through it. Do 209 00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:01,640 Speaker 4: it with purpose and death. And he stir up the gifts. 210 00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:05,560 Speaker 4: You are making waves everywhere you go for God. 211 00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:08,040 Speaker 5: You have an assignment. 212 00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:15,280 Speaker 4: God needs you. Your life matters. Invite Jesus into every 213 00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:16,200 Speaker 4: area of your life. 214 00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:19,160 Speaker 5: Invite him into your boat, so to speak. 215 00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:23,200 Speaker 4: You see the first time that Jesus met Simon Peter 216 00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:25,959 Speaker 4: before he changed his name. He had never met him before. 217 00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:30,160 Speaker 4: Simon Peter didn't know Jesus. Jesus came walking up because 218 00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:33,400 Speaker 4: the crowds were following him and Jesus needed to push 219 00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:36,080 Speaker 4: back a little bit from the crowds. He saw Simon 220 00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:38,880 Speaker 4: Peter and his crew over their washing nets because they'd 221 00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:41,400 Speaker 4: been fishing. Their boats were on the edge of the water, 222 00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:43,480 Speaker 4: and Jesus said, I need to get in your boat, 223 00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:46,280 Speaker 4: Simon Peter. He said, you need to push me out 224 00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:50,439 Speaker 4: a little ways. And Simon Peter let him in his boat, 225 00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:53,360 Speaker 4: and he pushed him out, and Jesus said, I need 226 00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:55,840 Speaker 4: to get in that boat because see what I need 227 00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:56,200 Speaker 4: to do. 228 00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:58,720 Speaker 5: Is continue the work that I am doing. 229 00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:01,040 Speaker 4: He was preaching to the people, but he needed a 230 00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:03,400 Speaker 4: little bit of break, so he needed to get in 231 00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:06,319 Speaker 4: Simon's Peter's boat so he could finish the work. 232 00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:11,000 Speaker 5: Now, Simon Peter's boat, you know what it represented. 233 00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:15,200 Speaker 4: It represented his office, it was his vocation, it was 234 00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:18,200 Speaker 4: his livelihood. He could have said to wait a minute, minute, 235 00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:20,120 Speaker 4: that's my boat. Can't get in the boat that's only 236 00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:20,640 Speaker 4: for fishing. 237 00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:22,400 Speaker 5: You know, it's really interesting. 238 00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:27,240 Speaker 4: The day that Simon Peter let him in his boat, 239 00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:32,120 Speaker 4: that job that he had, that fishing job, it became 240 00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:35,480 Speaker 4: more than a job. It became a calling. When he 241 00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:37,880 Speaker 4: allowed him in his boat so that Jesus could do 242 00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:38,400 Speaker 4: the work. 243 00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:41,520 Speaker 5: That job wasn't just a job. 244 00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:46,240 Speaker 4: It became a calling for Peter's life. It became a 245 00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:49,760 Speaker 4: destiny and a passion. He realized, no matter if I'm fishing, 246 00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:52,680 Speaker 4: or if i'm or if I'm with Jesus, I'm going 247 00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:55,240 Speaker 4: to do the work of God. You see, he was 248 00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:58,559 Speaker 4: a fisherman, but that calling changed him into a fisher 249 00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:05,679 Speaker 4: of men. God wants in your boats, he wants in 250 00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:10,239 Speaker 4: your school, he wants in the middle of changing diapers, 251 00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:13,720 Speaker 4: he wants in the middle of your family. He wants 252 00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:16,520 Speaker 4: to keep doing the work. But guess what He's got 253 00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:18,400 Speaker 4: to get in your boat to finish it up. 254 00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:20,280 Speaker 5: You know what. 255 00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:22,640 Speaker 4: I love my mother. She's here today. Happy Mother's Day. 256 00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:28,239 Speaker 4: I love Madodi, she's here today. Happy Mother's Day. 257 00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:30,120 Speaker 5: I've watched my mother. 258 00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:34,240 Speaker 4: She's had a business in Houston for the last forty years, 259 00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:37,439 Speaker 4: and I've watched her take that business that jewelry business 260 00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:42,120 Speaker 4: and turn it into a pulpit. No, she wasn't called 261 00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:45,320 Speaker 4: to a ministry behind a pulpit. But you know what 262 00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:48,079 Speaker 4: she's done. She's letting Jesus come in her boat. 263 00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:49,520 Speaker 5: She's always been the. 264 00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:52,440 Speaker 4: Type of person who wanted to help people, who love people, 265 00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:56,080 Speaker 4: who would always be an encourager. And I watch her 266 00:13:56,600 --> 00:14:03,160 Speaker 4: from that business encourage people, invite to church, fuel their faith. See, 267 00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:05,720 Speaker 4: she let Jesus in her boat. And I was thinking 268 00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:08,520 Speaker 4: about this the other day. She's been in business a 269 00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:11,240 Speaker 4: long time in the city, and she's seen the economy 270 00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:14,280 Speaker 4: go up, she's seen the economy go down, and God's. 271 00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:18,160 Speaker 5: Been good to her. He sustained her business. He sustained it. 272 00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:20,480 Speaker 5: And I believe it's because he said, I still need 273 00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:20,960 Speaker 5: your boat. 274 00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:23,680 Speaker 4: I still need your boat, and I know that you'll 275 00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:26,520 Speaker 4: give me your boat so it will keep you afloat. 276 00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:30,920 Speaker 4: Can I tell you, when you let Jesus in your boat, 277 00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:33,160 Speaker 4: he'll keep you afloat. 278 00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:35,160 Speaker 5: He'll keep you afloat. 279 00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:40,480 Speaker 4: What an example to have a mother who loves people, 280 00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:44,880 Speaker 4: who wants to encourage people to bring Jesus into her boat. 281 00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:49,960 Speaker 5: I feel a little like Timothy.
