See, God has given us his grace. 40 00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:56,200 Speaker 5: He's covered us all of our failures and all of 41 00:01:56,240 --> 00:02:02,480 Speaker 5: our mistakes. He's never gonna He's always gonna love us. 42 00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:06,680 Speaker 5: What a beautiful position to be in, Such a secure 43 00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:10,240 Speaker 5: position to be in. In fact, when you think about that, 44 00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:14,160 Speaker 5: it makes you want to do better, It makes you 45 00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:17,679 Speaker 5: want to rise higher. In fact, the scripture says it's 46 00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:22,640 Speaker 5: the goodness of God that leads us to repentance. You 47 00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:25,440 Speaker 5: could say it like this, it's the goodness of God 48 00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:30,200 Speaker 5: that works in us and makes us better, makes us 49 00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:33,160 Speaker 5: into the people He's called us to be. See the 50 00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:36,920 Speaker 5: same goodness, the same love, the same unfailing love. It 51 00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:41,320 Speaker 5: not only is for us, but it's for those around us. 52 00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:45,880 Speaker 5: It's for our family. It's for our spouses, our children, 53 00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:51,040 Speaker 5: our relatives, our neighbor. You see, God blesses us and 54 00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:54,120 Speaker 5: gives us this, not to hold on to it for ourselves, 55 00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:57,720 Speaker 5: not to say, oh, this is so great God. No, 56 00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:01,040 Speaker 5: he blesses us so that we can spread the blessing, 57 00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:04,200 Speaker 5: so that we can give the favor, so that we 58 00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:07,880 Speaker 5: can be that conduit on this earth. It's called the 59 00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:11,920 Speaker 5: hands and feet of Jesus. And I want us to 60 00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:14,960 Speaker 5: believe with all of our heart that we are so 61 00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:19,840 Speaker 5: covered and so loved that we are able to do 62 00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:24,080 Speaker 5: the same for other people. I want to talk today 63 00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:29,200 Speaker 5: about our families, making sure we are covering our families, 64 00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:33,560 Speaker 5: making sure we are loving them, considering them, not just 65 00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:37,000 Speaker 5: putting them on our to do list, but putting them 66 00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:41,720 Speaker 5: on our to love list every day? Are you loving 67 00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:46,160 Speaker 5: the gifts that God has giving you? You See, children, 68 00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:49,120 Speaker 5: the Bible says that they're a heritage, They're a gift 69 00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:49,760 Speaker 5: from God. 70 00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:52,960 Speaker 3: See, we're not just supposed to work for them. 71 00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:58,360 Speaker 5: We're supposed to enjoy them. We're supposed to celebrate with them. 72 00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:03,760 Speaker 5: Our spouses, they are a gift from God. They are 73 00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:08,120 Speaker 5: someone to help us grow and learn and live life together. 74 00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:12,360 Speaker 5: Are we putting them on our love list every single day? 75 00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:15,960 Speaker 5: I've been married to Joel for thirty years, and I 76 00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:19,560 Speaker 5: got to tell you this. I still have to remind myself, 77 00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:22,520 Speaker 5: is he on my love list? 78 00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:25,440 Speaker 3: Because you know, it's fine. 79 00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:28,200 Speaker 5: At first, you can get all excited, you have a 80 00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:32,560 Speaker 5: little goosebumps. Everything is so wonderful. But as years go by, 81 00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:36,080 Speaker 5: you have to continue to stir up the love and 82 00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:40,479 Speaker 5: the excitement. I have to remind myself I cannot quit 83 00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:47,000 Speaker 5: being Joel's biggest cheerleader. I can't quit telling him how 84 00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:51,359 Speaker 5: proud I am of him, how excited I am that 85 00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:54,640 Speaker 5: I am his wife. I can't quit being my very 86 00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:58,440 Speaker 5: best so that I'll reflect the very best on him. 87 00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:01,440 Speaker 5: You see, one of the greatest ways to love each 88 00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:04,280 Speaker 5: other is to live at our very best, to set 89 00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:08,240 Speaker 5: the tone for the life we want to live. You see, 90 00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:13,520 Speaker 5: you set the tone and the atmosphere for your life. 91 00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:15,360 Speaker 3: You're not a thermometer. 92 00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:23,280 Speaker 5: A thermometer measures the temperature, but a thermostat sets the temperature. 93 00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:25,440 Speaker 3: It sets the tone. 94 00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:29,320 Speaker 5: And God has empowered every one of us through his love, 95 00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:33,760 Speaker 5: his grace, his mercy, to set the tone and the 96 00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:37,160 Speaker 5: temperature for our life and for the lives of other 97 00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:41,320 Speaker 5: it says in Hebrews ten twenty four. Let us consider 98 00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:46,000 Speaker 5: how we may spur one another on towards love. 99 00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:47,080 Speaker 3: And good deeds. 100 00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:52,680 Speaker 5: You see, if you can spur someone on in God's love, listen, 101 00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:56,520 Speaker 5: those good deeds will follow. If you can strengthen them 102 00:05:56,960 --> 00:06:01,000 Speaker 5: in God's love, then their life will become better. 103 00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:01,760 Speaker 3: You see. 104 00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:04,480 Speaker 5: It was the love that raised Jesus from the dead. 105 00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:11,120 Speaker 5: Love is powerful. Love covers all. Love is the end 106 00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:14,680 Speaker 5: all be all. When you don't know what to do, 107 00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:19,160 Speaker 5: God is saying, love them anyway, just love them anyway, 108 00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:24,440 Speaker 5: because it's a powerful force. He first loved us, so 109 00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:27,880 Speaker 5: we can love others. So I think about that scripture, 110 00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:31,359 Speaker 5: and I think to myself, how can I spur my 111 00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:35,320 Speaker 5: family on. I have to consider it. That means I 112 00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:37,560 Speaker 5: have to meditate on it. I have to think about it. 113 00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:40,000 Speaker 5: I can't do it the same way all the time. 114 00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:45,000 Speaker 5: I don't put it on an autopilot. I consider, I meditate, 115 00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:50,839 Speaker 5: I dwell what works best in this situation. You know, 116 00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:54,960 Speaker 5: when I think about how to spur or cheer someone on, 117 00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:57,640 Speaker 5: I think about the attitude. 118 00:06:57,080 --> 00:06:58,000 Speaker 3: Of a cheerleader. 119 00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:01,680 Speaker 5: Okay, I was never a cheerleader in high school, although 120 00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:03,880 Speaker 5: I wish I would have. I guess I missed my calling. 121 00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:09,320 Speaker 5: But I can be a cheerleader right here to my family. 122 00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:15,320 Speaker 5: I can cheer them on. And it's not so much 123 00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:19,920 Speaker 5: about raw raw raw. It's about an attitude. You think 124 00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:22,160 Speaker 5: about being at the high school game and there's the 125 00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:26,600 Speaker 5: cheerleader on the sidelines. What's the attitude of those cheerleaders? 126 00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:32,360 Speaker 5: The attitude is a winning attitude. You see when the 127 00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:36,320 Speaker 5: scoreboard is in their favor, Pom palms are up and 128 00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:40,880 Speaker 5: they are cheering their team on. When the scoreboard is 129 00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:44,000 Speaker 5: down and their team is fumbling the ball and they 130 00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:46,920 Speaker 5: don't seem to be able to get it together, their 131 00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:51,400 Speaker 5: tone never changes. They have a winning tone, just a 132 00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:58,600 Speaker 5: different chant. That's when you'll hear defense, defense, but their 133 00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:04,400 Speaker 5: tone is still pointing the team towards winning. It's saying, hey, 134 00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:09,440 Speaker 5: we can score, let's keep our spirits high. I have 135 00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:15,640 Speaker 5: never ever seen the scoreboard down on the team that 136 00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:19,600 Speaker 5: the cheerleaders were rooting for. Man, the guys are fumbling 137 00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:22,240 Speaker 5: the ball. It doesn't look good. The cheerleader puts your palm, 138 00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:25,000 Speaker 5: palms down, shakes her head, says, I'm out of here. 139 00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:31,440 Speaker 5: I've never seen it. That's not the attitude of a cheerleader. 140 00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:35,360 Speaker 5: A cheerleader knows how to keep the spirits up, but 141 00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:39,680 Speaker 5: may chant a little different when need be, but always 142 00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:43,439 Speaker 5: points their team to the winning goal. 143 00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:46,400 Speaker 3: And that's what I want us to think about. 144 00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:54,000 Speaker 5: What is your attitude towards those difficult situations when maybe 145 00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:57,280 Speaker 5: your husband, your wife, your children, they don't seem to 146 00:08:57,320 --> 00:08:58,400 Speaker 5: be able to get it together. 147 00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:01,520 Speaker 3: Man, they keep fumbling the ball all what's going on? 148 00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:03,080 Speaker 3: What do you do? 149 00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:07,760 Speaker 5: What do you do when they do score? Do you 150 00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:13,280 Speaker 5: take time to celebrate, to shout, to tell them how. 151 00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:14,199 Speaker 3: Proud you are of them? 152 00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:17,600 Speaker 5: You see, you got to keep this attitude in the 153 00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:20,160 Speaker 5: good times and in the bad times. 154 00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:23,160 Speaker 3: It's called consistency. 155 00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:27,360 Speaker 5: And if we're gonna set the tone for our family, 156 00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:30,680 Speaker 5: and we're gonna create the life that we want to 157 00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:33,520 Speaker 5: live with our family. We're gonna have to be consistent. 158 00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:37,960 Speaker 5: We're gonna have to keep the tone of a winner. Listen, 159 00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:41,120 Speaker 5: the last thing I want to hear when I'm fumbling 160 00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:41,880 Speaker 5: the ball. 161 00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:45,120 Speaker 3: Is what you do that for loser. 162 00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:49,800 Speaker 5: I know that I'm fumbling the ball. I know that 163 00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:53,280 Speaker 5: I haven't done well. I'm trying. I need someone to 164 00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:57,480 Speaker 5: support me, to prop me up, to direct me towards 165 00:09:57,800 --> 00:09:58,280 Speaker 5: the goal. 166 00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:01,720 Speaker 3: I need to know that I can and score. I 167 00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:04,240 Speaker 3: don't need to be told that I'm fumbling the ball. 168 00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:07,600 Speaker 3: I need someone there for me. 169 00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:11,160 Speaker 5: It's interesting because the Bible says give to other people 170 00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:11,840 Speaker 5: what you want. 171 00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:14,959 Speaker 3: If that's a good way to keep it all into. 172 00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:19,560 Speaker 5: Perspective when you're facing difficulties, when you're facing difficult situations 173 00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:21,920 Speaker 5: with family members, and I know there are some family 174 00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:23,840 Speaker 5: members that seem to never. 175 00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:24,720 Speaker 3: Be able to get it right. 176 00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:27,480 Speaker 5: But can I tell you, if you get it wrong, 177 00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:31,160 Speaker 5: it's not gonna change a thing. If you decide to 178 00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:33,960 Speaker 5: tell them how bad they are, that's not gonna change 179 00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:37,560 Speaker 5: a thing. But if you'll get this tone, this winning 180 00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:40,439 Speaker 5: tone right, you have a better chance of propping them 181 00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:45,120 Speaker 5: up and helping them. You see, it's our response, are 182 00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:48,520 Speaker 5: we walking in a place of peace? Where do we 183 00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:51,640 Speaker 5: get that peace? We get it from God. You know 184 00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:54,400 Speaker 5: what I said before, we get everything from God. We 185 00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:57,720 Speaker 5: can only live this life in victory by getting it 186 00:10:57,760 --> 00:10:58,320 Speaker 5: from God. 187 00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:02,400 Speaker 3: You see, He's giving it to us so that we 188 00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:03,440 Speaker 3: can give it to others. 189 00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:07,000 Speaker 5: I realized when my daughter was about eight years old 190 00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:12,800 Speaker 5: how important my response was that it set the tone for. 191 00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:13,520 Speaker 3: What would go on. 192 00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:17,120 Speaker 5: Joel I think it was maybe his first book or 193 00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:21,360 Speaker 5: second book, and we were as a family traveling all 194 00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:23,959 Speaker 5: over the country. The publisher had set all of these 195 00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:27,000 Speaker 5: books signings up in different dates, and so they had 196 00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:29,400 Speaker 5: chartered us a little plane, and we were going all 197 00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:32,520 Speaker 5: over the country. Sometimes we would be in three different 198 00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:35,440 Speaker 5: states in one day, and so we have always done 199 00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:37,839 Speaker 5: this ministry as a family. So we had I had 200 00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:39,959 Speaker 5: my little eight year old girl in my little my 201 00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:43,480 Speaker 5: probably about eleven year old son, and so we'd probably 202 00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:46,240 Speaker 5: go into our second state. And it was the middle 203 00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:48,480 Speaker 5: of the day and we were going in this little 204 00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:50,760 Speaker 5: plane and my eight year old daughter, Alexander, was sitting 205 00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:52,559 Speaker 5: across from me, and we were just kind of hanging 206 00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:55,440 Speaker 5: chilling a little bit, when all of a sudden, the 207 00:11:55,480 --> 00:12:02,360 Speaker 5: oxygen masks falls from the ceiling. I just panicked, big 208 00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:04,520 Speaker 5: old eyes, huge gasp. 209 00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:07,480 Speaker 3: I was like, we're dead. 210 00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:11,920 Speaker 5: Mother, light year old girl didn't know what was going on, 211 00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:16,199 Speaker 5: but the tone setter was panicking. The mom and the 212 00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:21,480 Speaker 5: bunch was freaking out, so she immediately began to cry, 213 00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:25,960 Speaker 5: just ball. All of a sudden she saw me and 214 00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:28,600 Speaker 5: it just let go of an emotion of this is 215 00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:34,880 Speaker 5: a bad situation. And I realized, Wow, I just set 216 00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:40,480 Speaker 5: the tone for her. She was looking at me, and 217 00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:46,000 Speaker 5: I set the tone for panic, for fear, for difficulty, 218 00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:50,160 Speaker 5: for doubt, for unbelief. If I would have sat there 219 00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:53,199 Speaker 5: and kept my cool and thought, you know what, if 220 00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:55,559 Speaker 5: I scream, it's not gonna keep this plane. 221 00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:55,720 Speaker 3: In the air. 222 00:12:56,880 --> 00:13:00,040 Speaker 5: If I freak out, it's not gonna change anything, I 223 00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:04,200 Speaker 5: could have just realized that my response made all the 224 00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:05,120 Speaker 5: difference in the world. 225 00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:05,800 Speaker 3: Now. 226 00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:08,800 Speaker 5: Needless to say, the pilot came up and said, sorry, 227 00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:11,280 Speaker 5: a little bit of a malfunction. As he crammed the 228 00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:13,760 Speaker 5: thing back up in the ceiling, thanked God in heaven. 229 00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:18,160 Speaker 5: I was like, oh, but it showed me my response 230 00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:21,760 Speaker 5: is powerful. And I tell that little story to say, 231 00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:26,679 Speaker 5: your response is powerful. Whether your child is eight years old, 232 00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:30,800 Speaker 5: eighteen years old, or thirty eight years old, your response 233 00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:37,400 Speaker 5: you set the tone. It's powerful. When I call my 234 00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:40,960 Speaker 5: mom on the phone to this day, she literally has 235 00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:44,839 Speaker 5: the power to set the tone for me, whether I 236 00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:48,880 Speaker 5: like it or not. There's a powerful thing because it's 237 00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:53,000 Speaker 5: called the anointing of being a parent. It's just the 238 00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:56,600 Speaker 5: way God made it. So I want to remind you 239 00:13:56,640 --> 00:14:02,160 Speaker 5: today and myself to celebrate in the good times and 240 00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:05,000 Speaker 5: are we going to keep that winning spirit in the 241 00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:09,320 Speaker 5: difficult times. See, it's all about our tone. It's all 242 00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:12,440 Speaker 5: about the temperature. It's all about the winning spirit. And 243 00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:15,400 Speaker 5: I believe if we will do that and we get 244 00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:18,120 Speaker 5: that from God, we're gonna set the tone and have 245 00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:22,600 Speaker 5: a great life, not only for ourselves but for our families.
