And I want to charge us today to 44 00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:08,880 Speaker 6: just reevaluate our life and realize we are here for 45 00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:13,360 Speaker 6: God's purpose and God's glory. You know, sometimes it's easy 46 00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:15,640 Speaker 6: to feel like we're here to just go to our job, 47 00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:19,720 Speaker 6: go to school, have our friends, raise our family. But 48 00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:24,000 Speaker 6: can I tell you today, God has marked you to 49 00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:28,280 Speaker 6: have an influence on this earth. See you, you just 50 00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:31,720 Speaker 6: being here, you being the best you can be, using 51 00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:36,080 Speaker 6: your gifts, using your talents and honoring God. You're making 52 00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:42,120 Speaker 6: an eternal difference. You are causing this earth to be enriched, 53 00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:46,720 Speaker 6: and you are moving the Kingdom of God forward. You see, 54 00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:51,640 Speaker 6: sometimes we don't appreciate what God has given us. We 55 00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:55,639 Speaker 6: don't understand this gift and the purpose that we're here for. 56 00:02:56,320 --> 00:03:00,240 Speaker 6: And I believe when we shake ourselves and we say listen, listen, 57 00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:01,720 Speaker 6: I'm not here by accident. 58 00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:04,320 Speaker 4: I'm not here because my parents wanted a baby. 59 00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:07,360 Speaker 6: I'm not here just to take up spaith and time 60 00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:10,600 Speaker 6: on this earth. But I'm here for an eternal reason. 61 00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:17,960 Speaker 6: My being here has meaning and my life matters. You see, 62 00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:21,080 Speaker 6: when God looks at you, he looks at you like 63 00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:24,000 Speaker 6: you matter, and he wants you to take what He's 64 00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:26,960 Speaker 6: given you, and he wants you to mix it with faith, 65 00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:30,000 Speaker 6: and he wants you to move forward on this earth. 66 00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:34,400 Speaker 6: You see, a lot of times we can't see what 67 00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:38,000 Speaker 6: God has given us. Let's just be really real. You know, 68 00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:41,520 Speaker 6: sometimes we can't see the gifts and talents. We can 69 00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:43,960 Speaker 6: look at other people and we can see how they excel. 70 00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:47,400 Speaker 6: We can see how they've got such a great personality. 71 00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:50,280 Speaker 6: Oh it seems so easy for them. They can just 72 00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:53,960 Speaker 6: do this. They're so creative. Oh they're so smart. How 73 00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:56,560 Speaker 6: can they figure all that out? We can see it 74 00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:59,720 Speaker 6: in others, but we can't always see it in ourselves. 75 00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:04,200 Speaker 6: And see when we can't see it in ourselves doesn't 76 00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:07,520 Speaker 6: mean it's not there. See God sees it in us, 77 00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:11,119 Speaker 6: because God put it there. The Bible says when Jesus 78 00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:13,960 Speaker 6: went to Earth, he led the captives free, and he 79 00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:18,080 Speaker 6: gave gifts to men. Do you know He's given you gifts. 80 00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:21,080 Speaker 6: We don't all have the same gifts. We've got to 81 00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:23,560 Speaker 6: be comfortable with our gifts. We got to be able 82 00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:26,360 Speaker 6: to recognize our gifts. We've got to walk in those 83 00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:28,239 Speaker 6: gifts and not compare those gifts. 84 00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:30,880 Speaker 4: We got to know that our gifts are here for 85 00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:32,560 Speaker 4: a purpose, and. 86 00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:36,279 Speaker 6: We've got to appreciate what God has given us. I 87 00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:39,760 Speaker 6: think about Moses. He was raised as an Egyptian. He 88 00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:42,599 Speaker 6: ended up fleeing to the wilderness and he was there 89 00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:43,679 Speaker 6: for forty years. 90 00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:46,720 Speaker 4: God appeared to him in a burning. 91 00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:49,440 Speaker 6: Bush one day and says, Moses, I have an assignment 92 00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:49,880 Speaker 6: for you. 93 00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:51,000 Speaker 4: Now. 94 00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:54,760 Speaker 6: God knew exactly who he was talking to. He knew 95 00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:58,760 Speaker 6: everything about Moses. He created Moses, he saw Moses floating 96 00:04:58,800 --> 00:04:59,640 Speaker 6: down the river. 97 00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:01,640 Speaker 4: Moses when he lived in the palace. 98 00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:04,600 Speaker 6: He saw Moses when he was afraid and ran to 99 00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:08,240 Speaker 6: the desert. He knew exactly who Moses was. He knew 100 00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:11,800 Speaker 6: he was dealing with. He said, Moses, I want you 101 00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:15,160 Speaker 6: to lead my people out of Egypt into the Promised 102 00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:18,120 Speaker 6: Land because I'm doing a work and I'm gonna use 103 00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:18,720 Speaker 6: you to do it. 104 00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:20,560 Speaker 4: See it's so interesting. 105 00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:23,480 Speaker 6: I can only imagine Moses standing there like, really, God, 106 00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:26,960 Speaker 6: it says an Exodu's for He literally pleaded with God. 107 00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:31,640 Speaker 6: He said, no, God, not me. You got the wrong man. God, 108 00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:35,359 Speaker 6: I stutter, I can't speak well, I can't carry this 109 00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:38,920 Speaker 6: assignment out. I'm sure he was thinking about his past. 110 00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:40,960 Speaker 6: I'm sure he was thinking about how I've been in 111 00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:42,400 Speaker 6: the desert. Lord, you don't know. 112 00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:44,760 Speaker 4: I mean, you got the wrong man. 113 00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:48,479 Speaker 6: But God was saying, no, I've been shaping you from 114 00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:52,880 Speaker 6: the beginning. Every experience you have every gift God placed 115 00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:55,440 Speaker 6: in you, has brought you for such a time as this, 116 00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:57,000 Speaker 6: for this assignment. 117 00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:01,400 Speaker 4: And you know, God used Moses in a powerful. 118 00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:05,919 Speaker 6: Way, even though Moses couldn't see what God had placed. 119 00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:08,480 Speaker 4: In his life. I find it very interesting. 120 00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:12,360 Speaker 6: In Acts seven, twenty two, hundreds of years later, after 121 00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:15,520 Speaker 6: Moses was dead, this is what the writer of Acts 122 00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:18,960 Speaker 6: wrote about Moses. Says, Moses was well educated in all 123 00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:21,760 Speaker 6: the wisdom of the Egyptian, and. 124 00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:29,560 Speaker 7: He was powerful in speech and action. Moses was powerful 125 00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:32,279 Speaker 7: in speech and action. That was a far cry from 126 00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:35,040 Speaker 7: what he thought about himself. It was a far cry 127 00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:36,520 Speaker 7: from what he was telling God. 128 00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:37,680 Speaker 4: See. 129 00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:41,440 Speaker 6: Isn't it interesting what he couldn't see in himself God 130 00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:42,160 Speaker 6: had others see. 131 00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:43,240 Speaker 7: See. 132 00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:47,400 Speaker 4: You may not be able to see your gifts, your talents. 133 00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:49,800 Speaker 6: Your abilities, But can I tell you if you will 134 00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:52,920 Speaker 6: use them for God, let God take those and turn 135 00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:57,040 Speaker 6: them into supernatural abilities. People will see what you have 136 00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:01,640 Speaker 6: and you will accomplish great things in your life. But 137 00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:06,040 Speaker 6: it's up to us to mix our abilities, our gifts 138 00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:09,040 Speaker 6: that God's given us with faith and get up every 139 00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:11,440 Speaker 6: day and put one foot in front of the other. 140 00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:13,760 Speaker 6: Because I can tell you when God asked you to 141 00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:16,520 Speaker 6: do something. Can I just give you a little hint 142 00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:18,680 Speaker 6: right now that you probably already know is. 143 00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:21,560 Speaker 4: Not gonna be easy. God's gonna call you to some 144 00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:22,240 Speaker 4: hard stuff. 145 00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:27,960 Speaker 6: Why God, I like easy, I like comfortable. God, I 146 00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:29,680 Speaker 6: like to do those things that are easy for me 147 00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:33,000 Speaker 6: to do. God's saying, I want you to take those 148 00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:35,000 Speaker 6: things that are easy for you to do and those 149 00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:36,760 Speaker 6: things that are difficult for you to do, and I 150 00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:39,400 Speaker 6: want you to give them to me, because see those 151 00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:43,800 Speaker 6: difficult places, that's where you grow. When God speaks to 152 00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:46,160 Speaker 6: those difficult places, you know what he's doing. 153 00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:49,680 Speaker 4: He's not being me. He's speaking to your potential. 154 00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:53,480 Speaker 6: He's saying, if you stay here, you're not gonna become 155 00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:55,680 Speaker 6: everything you were designed to be. 156 00:07:57,360 --> 00:07:59,840 Speaker 4: He's not gonna call you to the easy places. 157 00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:03,600 Speaker 6: He's gonna call you to some tough things. 158 00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:04,560 Speaker 4: Just like Moses. 159 00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:08,480 Speaker 6: You're gonna look back and you're gonna go. God, you 160 00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:11,040 Speaker 6: did more than I could ask, think or imagine. God, 161 00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:15,160 Speaker 6: You've fulfilled my life. You've enriched my life. But see, 162 00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:18,040 Speaker 6: all along the way, we're gonna have to stir up 163 00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:20,240 Speaker 6: the gifts of God within us. We're gonna have to 164 00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:23,760 Speaker 6: use our faith We're gonna have to believe in our abilities. 165 00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:27,840 Speaker 4: The apostle Paul wrote to a young man named Timothy. 166 00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:30,680 Speaker 6: He wrote a letter to him for two reasons, One 167 00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:33,360 Speaker 6: because he loved him, and two because he saw that 168 00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:38,120 Speaker 6: Timothy was extremely discouraged. He was facing some situations and 169 00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:40,800 Speaker 6: he did not feel like he had the ability to 170 00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:44,000 Speaker 6: carry out what God had called him to do. In fact, 171 00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:47,840 Speaker 6: his mentor, Paul was in prison, the mastermind of everything, 172 00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:50,280 Speaker 6: and he thought, oh my gosh, am I ever gonna 173 00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:53,839 Speaker 6: see Paul again? I mean, I need Paul. Have you 174 00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:56,480 Speaker 6: ever needed someone? Can you come with me? I'll do 175 00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:59,480 Speaker 6: it if you could come with me. That's probably how 176 00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:02,880 Speaker 6: he felt, where are you? I cannot do this by myself. 177 00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:07,760 Speaker 4: I'm young, you see. But Paul wanted him to know this, 178 00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:09,000 Speaker 4: but he could. 179 00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:12,960 Speaker 6: So Paul said, there's a combination, a winning combination. 180 00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:14,480 Speaker 4: I'm going to tell you about it. So we wrote 181 00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:16,480 Speaker 4: him a letter, and. 182 00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:20,520 Speaker 6: He said, Timothy, I'm writing you this letter to remind 183 00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:24,880 Speaker 6: you to stir up the gifts of God within you 184 00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:28,560 Speaker 6: by faith. But since it's Mother's Day, can I back 185 00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:30,679 Speaker 6: up in that letter and just tell you one thing 186 00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:32,640 Speaker 6: that Paul said to all of you mothers out there. 187 00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:35,200 Speaker 4: I don't want you to take this mother. 188 00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:37,800 Speaker 6: To heart, because I really believe this is what God's 189 00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:41,880 Speaker 6: saying to you today. He's saying, he wrote this. He said, Timothy, 190 00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:48,199 Speaker 6: I see the faith of your grandmother and of your mother, 191 00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:52,680 Speaker 6: and the faith that they had, I'm sure lives in you. 192 00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:55,160 Speaker 4: What a compliment. 193 00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:58,880 Speaker 6: I mean for a mother, that's a very good compliment. 194 00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:01,320 Speaker 6: If you see that I was a good example to 195 00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:05,760 Speaker 6: my children. He was saying, I see that you came 196 00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:07,839 Speaker 6: from a good example. 197 00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:10,040 Speaker 4: You've learned how to live. 198 00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:15,400 Speaker 6: But then he said this, Paul, I believe this faith 199 00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:19,120 Speaker 6: lives in you, So it's time for you to use 200 00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:23,600 Speaker 6: your faith and stir up your gifts. I think, in essence, 201 00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:26,280 Speaker 6: he was really giving those mothers the greatest compliment in 202 00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:30,200 Speaker 6: the world. He was charging their son to say, don't 203 00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:31,800 Speaker 6: live off your mama's faith. 204 00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:34,439 Speaker 4: God's great that you have an example, but. 205 00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:38,080 Speaker 6: It's time to find your faith, and it's time to 206 00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:40,679 Speaker 6: mix it with your ability, because. 207 00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:43,400 Speaker 4: You've got a job to do. You see, the. 208 00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:46,360 Speaker 6: Breath of encouragement is the greatest gift you can give 209 00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:51,120 Speaker 6: someone's child, to say, find your faith. You see, my 210 00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:54,720 Speaker 6: dream would be that my children would find their own faith. Yes, 211 00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:55,920 Speaker 6: I've been a good example. 212 00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:57,239 Speaker 4: But they would. 213 00:10:56,960 --> 00:11:00,120 Speaker 6: Find their faith, and they would mix that faith, the 214 00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:02,720 Speaker 6: ability and the gifts that God's given them, and they 215 00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:06,760 Speaker 6: would charge into this world having a positive effect, an 216 00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:10,600 Speaker 6: eternal result on this earth. See, they're not here by accident, 217 00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:13,920 Speaker 6: and neither are you. They're here for a purpose. You're 218 00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:17,880 Speaker 6: going to go through many different seasons of life. Don't 219 00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:20,640 Speaker 6: just do it thinking you're getting through it. Do it 220 00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:24,120 Speaker 6: with purpose and destiny. Stir up the gifts. You are 221 00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:27,280 Speaker 6: making waves everywhere you go for God. 222 00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:32,920 Speaker 4: You have an assignment. God needs you. Your life matters. 223 00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:39,880 Speaker 6: Invite Jesus into every area of your life, inviting into. 224 00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:42,920 Speaker 4: Your boat, so to speak. You see, the first. 225 00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:46,240 Speaker 6: Time that Jesus met Simon Peter before he changed his name, 226 00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:49,880 Speaker 6: he had never met him before. Simon Peter didn't know Jesus. 227 00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:53,400 Speaker 6: Jesus came walking up because the crowds were following him 228 00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:56,040 Speaker 6: and Jesus needed to push back a little bit from 229 00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:56,640 Speaker 6: the crowds. 230 00:11:57,000 --> 00:11:59,760 Speaker 4: He saw Simon Peter and his crew over there washing. 231 00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:01,240 Speaker 4: That's because they've been fishing. 232 00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:03,320 Speaker 6: Their boats were on the edge of the water, and 233 00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:06,040 Speaker 6: Jesus said, I need to get in your boat, Simon Peter. 234 00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:08,760 Speaker 4: He said, you need to push me out a little ways. 235 00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:12,440 Speaker 6: And Simon Peter let him in his boat, and he 236 00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:15,400 Speaker 6: pushed him out, and Jesus said, I need to get 237 00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:17,960 Speaker 6: in that boat because see what I need to do. 238 00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:20,480 Speaker 4: Is continue the work that I am doing. 239 00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:22,800 Speaker 6: He was preaching to the people, but he needed a 240 00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:25,160 Speaker 6: little bit of break. So he needed to get in 241 00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:29,360 Speaker 6: Simon's Peter's boat so he could finish the work. Now, 242 00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:33,880 Speaker 6: Simon Peter's boat, you know what it represented. It represented 243 00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:38,080 Speaker 6: his office, it was his vocation, it was his livelihood. 244 00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:40,120 Speaker 6: He could have said to wait a minute, minute, that's 245 00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:42,400 Speaker 6: my boat. Can't get in the boat that's only for fishing. 246 00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:47,840 Speaker 4: You know, it's really interesting the day that Simon Peter 247 00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:49,000 Speaker 4: let him in his boat. 248 00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:53,880 Speaker 6: That job that he had, that fishing job, it became 249 00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:54,760 Speaker 6: more than a job. 250 00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:56,120 Speaker 4: It became a calling. 251 00:12:56,960 --> 00:12:59,280 Speaker 6: When he allowed him in his boat so that Jesus 252 00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:03,360 Speaker 6: could do the work, that job wasn't just a job. 253 00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:07,960 Speaker 6: It became a calling for Peter's life. It became a 254 00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:11,160 Speaker 6: destiny and a passion. He realized, no matter if I'm 255 00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:14,120 Speaker 6: fishing or if I'm all right, if I'm with Jesus, 256 00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:16,880 Speaker 6: I'm gonna do the work of God. You see, he 257 00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:19,600 Speaker 6: was a fisherman, but that call him changed him into 258 00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:26,840 Speaker 6: a fisher of men. God wants in your boats. He 259 00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:30,840 Speaker 6: wants in your school, he wants in the middle of 260 00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:34,360 Speaker 6: changing diapers, he wants in the middle of your family. 261 00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:37,480 Speaker 6: He wants to keep doing the work. But guess what 262 00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:40,160 Speaker 6: He's got to get in your boat to finish it up. 263 00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:43,560 Speaker 4: You know what. I love my mother. She's here today. 264 00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:45,200 Speaker 4: Happy Mother's Day. I love Mydodie. 265 00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:50,000 Speaker 6: She's here today, Happy Mother's Day. 266 00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:51,880 Speaker 4: I've watched my mother. 267 00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:56,000 Speaker 6: She's had a business in Houston for the last forty years, 268 00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:59,240 Speaker 6: and I've watched her take that business, that jewelry business, 269 00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:01,680 Speaker 6: and turn it in to a pulpit. 270 00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:04,400 Speaker 4: No, she wasn't called to. 271 00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:07,800 Speaker 6: A ministry behind a pulpit. But you know what she's done. 272 00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:11,080 Speaker 6: She's letting Jesus come in her boat. She's always been 273 00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:13,440 Speaker 6: the type of person who wanted to help people, who 274 00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:17,280 Speaker 6: love people, who would always be an encourager. And I'll 275 00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:22,720 Speaker 6: watch her from that business encourage people, invite them to church. 276 00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:26,320 Speaker 4: Fuel their faith. See, she let Jesus in her boat. 277 00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:29,440 Speaker 6: And I was thinking about this the other day. She's 278 00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:31,400 Speaker 6: been in business a long time in the city, and 279 00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:34,440 Speaker 6: she's seen the economy go up, she's seen the economy 280 00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:36,560 Speaker 6: go down, and God's been good to her. 281 00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:38,560 Speaker 4: He sustained her business. 282 00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:41,600 Speaker 6: He sustained it, and I believe it's because he said, 283 00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:42,720 Speaker 6: I still need your boat. 284 00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:45,440 Speaker 4: I still need your boat, and I know that you'll 285 00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:48,280 Speaker 4: give me your boat. Som will keep you afloat. 286 00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:52,680 Speaker 6: Can I tell you when you let Jesus in your boat, 287 00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:54,000 Speaker 6: he'll keep you afloat. 288 00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:59,760 Speaker 4: He'll keep you afloat. What an example to have, A. 289 00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:05,520 Speaker 6: Who loves people, who wants to encourage people to bring 290 00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:06,640 Speaker 6: Jesus into her boat. 291 00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:11,720 Speaker 4: I feel a little like Timothy. I'm blessed that way. 292 00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:16,840 Speaker 6: But you know what, the greatest compliment to my mother 293 00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:20,080 Speaker 6: and every mother in here could be like me. 294 00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:25,200 Speaker 4: Her daughter would find my own faith. Would learn from 295 00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:29,120 Speaker 4: the example, but find my own faith, mix it with 296 00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:30,600 Speaker 4: the gifts God's given. 297 00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:34,600 Speaker 6: Me, and launch out in my boat so I can 298 00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:38,600 Speaker 6: let Jesus get in with me today.
