| Mike Signorelli - 1 Chronicles 29 | December 23, 2025
- How many people claim
- 00:00:00.262 --> 00:00:01.597
- To get saved, but their cravings never change.
- 00:00:01.597 --> 00:00:05.434
- You can scroll on your phone
- 00:00:06.035 --> 00:00:07.669
- For four hours, but you can't spend four minutes in prayer.
- 00:00:07.669 --> 00:00:11.206
- Something's gotta change because you say.
- 00:00:12.074 --> 00:00:13.642
- If it was about me, i would keep scrolling.
- 00:00:13.642 --> 00:00:16.145
- But it's about this density, so let me destroy.
- 00:00:16.145 --> 00:00:19.815
- Oh, come on, somebody.
- 00:00:20.315 --> 00:00:27.256
- Oh, oh.
- 00:00:27.489 --> 00:00:31.660
- All right, everyone, church.
- 00:00:32.261 --> 00:00:34.296
- Come on, everybody, stand to your feet.
- 00:00:34.296 --> 00:00:36.532
- Across every location right now.
- 00:00:36.532 --> 00:00:38.901
- Even if you're watching at home.
- 00:00:38.901 --> 00:00:40.469
- Can we just put our hands together for 30s.
- 00:00:40.469 --> 00:00:43.338
- For our v one children v one kids?
- 00:00:43.338 --> 00:00:46.909
- Come on. we love you.
- 00:00:47.409 --> 00:00:48.944
- You did an incredible job today with your play presentation,
- 00:00:48.944 --> 00:00:53.015
- And we're so excited for you and even the vh1 kids watching online today.
- 00:00:54.450 --> 00:00:57.152
- Hey, go ahead and right now, right now, just stay standing with me
- 00:00:58.487 --> 00:01:01.090
- For for a moment.
- 00:01:01.090 --> 00:01:02.891
- If you were here last week, by the way, my name is mike signoret.
- 00:01:02.891 --> 00:01:06.562
- I'm the lead pastor here at vh1 church.
- 00:01:07.429 --> 00:01:09.164
- And, you know, we started this series called a family matters.
- 00:01:09.164 --> 00:01:13.335
- And we talked about there's basically three kinds of people
- 00:01:14.503 --> 00:01:16.538
- That the bible describes the wise, the foolish, and the evil.
- 00:01:16.538 --> 00:01:21.543
- And how many of you?
- 00:01:22.010 --> 00:01:23.045
- This is just a question.
- 00:01:23.045 --> 00:01:25.013
- Since last week, you discovered a few more foolish people in your family.
- 00:01:25.013 --> 00:01:29.051
- Come on. don't don't raise your hand.
- 00:01:29.818 --> 00:01:31.186
- As a matter of fact, how many of you discovered
- 00:01:31.186 --> 00:01:32.688
- That one of those foolish people might have been you?
- 00:01:32.688 --> 00:01:35.624
- Go ahead and turn to somebody real quick and say
- 00:01:36.625 --> 00:01:39.228
- I might be the problem.
- 00:01:39.228 --> 00:01:43.799
- All right.
- 00:01:44.099 --> 00:01:45.300
- Okay. we're going to pray right now.
- 00:01:45.300 --> 00:01:46.602
- Listen, the truth is, we are all the problem.
- 00:01:46.602 --> 00:01:50.305
- And so that word was deeply convicting.
- 00:01:51.140 --> 00:01:53.575
- I want to celebrate some things that i heard about before.
- 00:01:53.575 --> 00:01:56.879
- We pray, and we're going to take our seats in a moment.
- 00:01:56.879 --> 00:01:59.348
- But i actually heard that so many people shared last week's sermon
- 00:01:59.348 --> 00:02:03.752
- That it went all over the world, and there were multiple marriages
- 00:02:05.087 --> 00:02:07.222
- That were restored.
- 00:02:07.222 --> 00:02:08.490
- Come on, there were multiple marriages.
- 00:02:08.490 --> 00:02:10.726
- There was one couple in particular that had been divorced,
- 00:02:10.726 --> 00:02:14.062
- And they're thinking about reconciliation,
- 00:02:14.963 --> 00:02:16.231
- Another couple that had actually been separated.
- 00:02:16.231 --> 00:02:19.001
- And so i didn't even think that god would use it in that way.
- 00:02:19.001 --> 00:02:22.905
- But it was such a powerful week.
- 00:02:23.539 --> 00:02:25.374
- So i know that god's got something powerful in store for part two.
- 00:02:25.374 --> 00:02:29.678
- So i want to pray right now.
- 00:02:30.279 --> 00:02:31.079
- Come on, let's all pray
- 00:02:31.079 --> 00:02:32.848
- Across every campus, every location, every home watching right now.
- 00:02:32.848 --> 00:02:36.451
- Heavenly father, i pray for each and every one
- 00:02:37.419 --> 00:02:39.688
- That, as they hear it, will not be information.
- 00:02:39.688 --> 00:02:42.891
- It will be transformation, lord, that you will break
- 00:02:42.891 --> 00:02:46.028
- Cycles and patterns in their family and god.
- 00:02:46.028 --> 00:02:49.031
- I know that you brought us here today, that you would mold
- 00:02:49.031 --> 00:02:52.201
- Us, shape us into a clear reflection of your son,
- 00:02:52.201 --> 00:02:55.737
- Jesus christ, yashua the savior, messiah and father.
- 00:02:56.772 --> 00:02:59.942
- I thank you that today the word is going to have its full effect
- 00:02:59.942 --> 00:03:03.512
- In our lives and in our families, in jesus mighty name.
- 00:03:04.580 --> 00:03:08.116
- And everybody said amen, amen, amen.
- 00:03:08.884 --> 00:03:11.486
- Go ahead and take your seats across every location, across every couch.
- 00:03:12.921 --> 00:03:15.557
- We are doing family services today, so i know it might be
- 00:03:16.692 --> 00:03:18.961
- A little louder than usual.
- 00:03:18.961 --> 00:03:20.996
- But it's going to be very powerful as well.
- 00:03:20.996 --> 00:03:24.333
- And last week, you know, we basically said that, you know, wise people,
- 00:03:25.734 --> 00:03:28.904
- They listen to the wisdom of god and they change foolish people.
- 00:03:30.138 --> 00:03:32.708
- They only change when the pain, gets great enough.
- 00:03:32.708 --> 00:03:36.111
- So they need pain to be strong enough.
- 00:03:36.111 --> 00:03:38.180
- And then evil people, they only change when they're confronted
- 00:03:38.180 --> 00:03:42.351
- Or even restricted.
- 00:03:42.818 --> 00:03:44.086
- And a lot of you actually went home.
- 00:03:44.086 --> 00:03:46.455
- And i want to acknowledge this.
- 00:03:46.455 --> 00:03:47.856
- You had real conversations.
- 00:03:47.856 --> 00:03:50.025
- You started setting boundaries, and you decided,
- 00:03:50.025 --> 00:03:53.028
- Hey, i love you, but i can't keep letting you poison my life.
- 00:03:53.028 --> 00:03:57.332
- And that all happened in part one.
- 00:03:58.100 --> 00:03:59.134
- But today is part two.
- 00:03:59.134 --> 00:04:01.203
- Come on.
- 00:04:01.203 --> 00:04:02.504
- And so today we're going to take, that grid
- 00:04:02.504 --> 00:04:04.906
- That we used from last week, the wise, the foolish and the evil.
- 00:04:04.906 --> 00:04:09.144
- And instead of just putting it on people, we're going to put that on something
- 00:04:10.712 --> 00:04:12.881
- That sits at the center of almost every single family conflict that occurs
- 00:04:12.881 --> 00:04:18.287
- And every single family that has tension and every silent argument.
- 00:04:19.588 --> 00:04:23.525
- And i'm just going to speak to the elephant in the room.
- 00:04:24.660 --> 00:04:26.495
- It's actually money.
- 00:04:26.495 --> 00:04:28.363
- Relax. this is not a telethon right now.
- 00:04:28.363 --> 00:04:30.832
- If you're watching online, this is not a fundraiser.
- 00:04:30.832 --> 00:04:34.169
- If you're here in the room, this is actual discipleship
- 00:04:35.304 --> 00:04:38.740
- Because money is not just a financial issue.
- 00:04:39.675 --> 00:04:41.643
- How many of you believe that it is a spiritual issue?
- 00:04:41.643 --> 00:04:45.013
- It's a family issue and it's a legacy issue.
- 00:04:45.914 --> 00:04:48.417
- And some of the deepest toxicity in our family
- 00:04:49.318 --> 00:04:51.253
- Is not what gets said around the table.
- 00:04:51.253 --> 00:04:54.056
- It's what your family actually believes about money,
- 00:04:54.056 --> 00:04:57.359
- About scarcity, and even about god's house.
- 00:04:58.260 --> 00:05:00.729
- So today, the holy spirit wants to heal all of that, and this might be
- 00:05:02.130 --> 00:05:04.566
- The first time that anybody's ever even spoken into these things before.
- 00:05:04.566 --> 00:05:09.371
- But i want you to grab your bible or your app or whatever you use,
- 00:05:09.371 --> 00:05:14.009
- And i want you to open with me to first chronicles chapter 29. now,
- 00:05:15.410 --> 00:05:20.682
- That's again first
- 00:05:21.116 --> 00:05:22.384
- Chronicles in the old testament, chapter 29.
- 00:05:22.384 --> 00:05:25.587
- And i want you to see these verses with your own eyes.
- 00:05:25.587 --> 00:05:29.491
- It's very important that you look at this with me,
- 00:05:29.491 --> 00:05:32.194
- And once you've got it, i want you to shout, i've got it.
- 00:05:32.194 --> 00:05:35.731
- Now, if you're still.
- 00:05:36.231 --> 00:05:37.499
- If you're still looking, i want you to shout.
- 00:05:37.499 --> 00:05:39.701
- Wait for me.
- 00:05:39.701 --> 00:05:41.203
- Come on.
- 00:05:41.203 --> 00:05:41.937
- Let's.
- 00:05:41.937 --> 00:05:43.338
- We're going to become students of the scripture.
- 00:05:43.338 --> 00:05:45.540
- All right, come on.
- 00:05:46.007 --> 00:05:47.309
- Many of you are are getting it right now.
- 00:05:47.309 --> 00:05:48.377
- So let me set the scene.
- 00:05:48.377 --> 00:05:50.112
- David is at the end of his life.
- 00:05:50.112 --> 00:05:52.013
- David the giant killer.
- 00:05:52.013 --> 00:05:53.682
- And he's been a warrior.
- 00:05:53.682 --> 00:05:55.984
- He's been a worshiper. he's been a king.
- 00:05:55.984 --> 00:05:58.987
- And he has a dream in his heart that he's going to build the house of god.
- 00:05:58.987 --> 00:06:03.859
- Okay?
- 00:06:04.092 --> 00:06:05.560
- But god actually says, david, you will not build it.
- 00:06:05.560 --> 00:06:07.963
- Your son solomon will.
- 00:06:08.463 --> 00:06:10.031
- So. so what is david actually do?
- 00:06:10.031 --> 00:06:13.435
- He doesn't say, well, if i don't get to put my name on that building, i'm out.
- 00:06:14.936 --> 00:06:18.073
- What he says if
- 00:06:18.440 --> 00:06:19.741
- It is, if i can't build it, i'll fund it.
- 00:06:19.741 --> 00:06:23.512
- And in chronicles chapter 29, david stands in
- 00:06:24.479 --> 00:06:27.082
- Front of what the bible actually calls the whole assembly,
- 00:06:27.082 --> 00:06:31.486
- Which basically includes leaders, moms, dads, kids and families.
- 00:06:32.754 --> 00:06:36.558
- And he begins to make a public declaration,
- 00:06:37.492 --> 00:06:41.263
- And it's a declaration of generosity.
- 00:06:42.063 --> 00:06:43.398
- So i called an assembly.
- 00:06:43.398 --> 00:06:45.467
- I've got all the children here.
- 00:06:45.467 --> 00:06:47.669
- I've got all the leaders and the pastors and the moms and the dads,
- 00:06:47.669 --> 00:06:51.339
- And we're here and we're mimicking this holy assembly.
- 00:06:51.339 --> 00:06:55.911
- And i want us to take a look at the verses, and i want you to see them
- 00:06:57.245 --> 00:06:59.481
- With your own eyes.
- 00:06:59.481 --> 00:07:01.183
- Verse three says, besides, in my devotion to the temple of my god,
- 00:07:01.183 --> 00:07:06.354
- I now give my personal treasures
- 00:07:06.988 --> 00:07:09.524
- Of gold and silver for the temple of my god
- 00:07:09.524 --> 00:07:13.094
- Over and above everything i have provided for this holy temple.
- 00:07:14.296 --> 00:07:17.566
- And basically what david says is out of my own personal treasure.
- 00:07:18.767 --> 00:07:22.504
- I have given gold and silver for the house of my god
- 00:07:23.572 --> 00:07:26.208
- And and and above everything that i've already provided.
- 00:07:27.342 --> 00:07:30.378
- Then if you go to verse five, he asked the question to everybody in
- 00:07:31.713 --> 00:07:35.083
- The assembly who is willing to consecrate themselves to the lord today.
- 00:07:35.083 --> 00:07:40.088
- Now i want to say this, and i want everybody to lean in and listen.
- 00:07:41.389 --> 00:07:44.326
- Come on. even the children.
- 00:07:44.926 --> 00:07:47.028
- Sometimes we want our giving to be private.
- 00:07:47.963 --> 00:07:51.333
- And i understand that because it's between you and god.
- 00:07:52.467 --> 00:07:54.836
- But you see, in these scriptures that there are moments,
- 00:07:55.937 --> 00:07:57.772
- Legacy moments where our giving must be public.
- 00:07:57.772 --> 00:08:01.543
- And david said, hey, i'm going to tell all of you of israel what i've been doing
- 00:08:03.144 --> 00:08:06.314
- Privately, but then i'm going to show you what i'm about to do publicly.
- 00:08:06.314 --> 00:08:10.819
- And he says privately, i've been already giving and giving
- 00:08:11.987 --> 00:08:13.622
- And giving to the temple.
- 00:08:13.622 --> 00:08:15.090
- But now publicly, i'm going above and beyond that,
- 00:08:15.090 --> 00:08:18.627
- And i'm giving so that legacy can be built.
- 00:08:19.528 --> 00:08:21.796
- Then he turns and he asked all of the people who's
- 00:08:22.831 --> 00:08:24.566
- Willing to consecrate themselves to the lord today,
- 00:08:24.566 --> 00:08:27.836
- And he's he's this is the thing i want you to understand.
- 00:08:28.970 --> 00:08:30.405
- He's not saying, hey, who wants to help me pay a bill?
- 00:08:30.405 --> 00:08:34.309
- He's saying, who is willing to consecrate
- 00:08:35.210 --> 00:08:37.379
- Themselves to the lord today?
- 00:08:37.379 --> 00:08:40.715
- And i want you to see what happens in a few moments.
- 00:08:41.783 --> 00:08:43.618
- I want you to watch what happens.
- 00:08:43.618 --> 00:08:45.587
- And if you don't understand the word consecrate,
- 00:08:45.587 --> 00:08:48.156
- It means to take something and to separate it,
- 00:08:48.156 --> 00:08:51.960
- To move it into a different space and a different domain.
- 00:08:53.128 --> 00:08:56.531
- And so what that means is you have david said, i have gold,
- 00:08:57.732 --> 00:09:01.036
- But i've consecrated that gold and now belongs to the lord.
- 00:09:02.203 --> 00:09:05.040
- I have gifting talents and now belongs to the lord.
- 00:09:06.074 --> 00:09:08.610
- So he's saying, who now wants to consecrate themselves to the lord?
- 00:09:09.945 --> 00:09:12.747
- Who wants to separate themselves?
- 00:09:12.747 --> 00:09:14.816
- I keep thinking about that new testament scripture.
- 00:09:14.816 --> 00:09:17.586
- Be in the world, but not of the world. come on.
- 00:09:17.586 --> 00:09:20.288
- Do not follow the patterns of the world, but be transformed
- 00:09:20.288 --> 00:09:24.292
- By the renewing of your mind.
- 00:09:24.292 --> 00:09:26.094
- So your mind becomes consecrated to the lord.
- 00:09:26.094 --> 00:09:28.830
- And you don't have a mind like the world.
- 00:09:28.830 --> 00:09:31.066
- You have a mind of christ.
- 00:09:31.066 --> 00:09:33.468
- Come on. does somebody know what i'm talking about?
- 00:09:33.468 --> 00:09:35.337
- And how you'll know that you're consecrating your thought.
- 00:09:35.337 --> 00:09:38.373
- Life is your friends and family who are not saved, who are not christians,
- 00:09:38.373 --> 00:09:41.943
- Who do don't read the bible, who don't pray.
- 00:09:41.943 --> 00:09:44.312
- They're going to say, you've lost your mind
- 00:09:44.312 --> 00:09:46.081
- And you'll say, yes, i did lose my mind for the sake of christ.
- 00:09:46.081 --> 00:09:49.517
- I have the mind of christ.
- 00:09:50.085 --> 00:09:51.186
- I have consecrated my mind to him.
- 00:09:51.186 --> 00:09:52.821
- Come on.
- 00:09:52.821 --> 00:09:54.389
- Can somebody just shout if you know what i'm talking about
- 00:09:54.389 --> 00:09:56.524
- And and watch what happens next in this story.
- 00:09:57.459 --> 00:09:59.861
- The the leaders of families.
- 00:10:00.462 --> 00:10:02.530
- The leaders of families.
- 00:10:02.530 --> 00:10:04.366
- Are you the leader of your children, of your families, the officials,
- 00:10:04.366 --> 00:10:08.036
- The commanders?
- 00:10:08.036 --> 00:10:09.037
- They all respond, not some. all.
- 00:10:09.037 --> 00:10:12.841
- And they bring a massive offering.
- 00:10:13.608 --> 00:10:15.210
- And in verse nine it says that the people rejoiced greatly
- 00:10:15.210 --> 00:10:18.246
- Because they had given willingly and with a whole heart.
- 00:10:19.347 --> 00:10:22.217
- I can't help but to think about the goal.
- 00:10:23.118 --> 00:10:24.819
- V1 series.
- 00:10:24.819 --> 00:10:26.588
- And it says that joshua and caleb, as they begin to go into the promised
- 00:10:26.588 --> 00:10:31.793
- Land, the land of legacy, the land where their children would dwell in peace.
- 00:10:33.361 --> 00:10:36.665
- They it said this.
- 00:10:37.098 --> 00:10:38.600
- It says that caleb was whole hearted and whole hearted
- 00:10:38.600 --> 00:10:41.936
- Means going v1 the plane takes off the runway.
- 00:10:41.936 --> 00:10:45.473
- There's no reservation.
- 00:10:45.473 --> 00:10:46.841
- There's no plan b, there's no escape hatch.
- 00:10:46.841 --> 00:10:49.377
- I'm whole hearted,
- 00:10:49.377 --> 00:10:51.246
- And i find it interesting that david now and all the people of israel
- 00:10:51.246 --> 00:10:54.282
- Are giving to build the temple, and it says that are a whole hearted.
- 00:10:54.282 --> 00:10:58.753
- God wants your whole heart.
- 00:10:59.354 --> 00:11:00.822
- It's not about finances.
- 00:11:00.822 --> 00:11:02.724
- It's not about it's literally it's not about how many hours
- 00:11:02.724 --> 00:11:06.261
- You serve at the local church.
- 00:11:06.261 --> 00:11:08.229
- It's about your whole heart going v1 how many of you are going v1 with me?
- 00:11:08.229 --> 00:11:12.934
- Because david then begins to pray
- 00:11:13.668 --> 00:11:16.438
- And he prays this powerful prayer.
- 00:11:16.438 --> 00:11:19.107
- And in that prayer he says to god,
- 00:11:19.107 --> 00:11:21.609
- And we get we get to actually hear his prayer.
- 00:11:22.577 --> 00:11:24.979
- He says, god,
- 00:11:24.979 --> 00:11:28.249
- Everything comes from you.
- 00:11:28.817 --> 00:11:31.152
- And we've actually only given what comes from your hand.
- 00:11:31.152 --> 00:11:35.690
- Look at verse 14.
- 00:11:36.124 --> 00:11:37.225
- I'm going to read it exactly now.
- 00:11:37.225 --> 00:11:39.461
- But who am i?
- 00:11:39.461 --> 00:11:41.496
- And who are my people that we should be able
- 00:11:41.496 --> 00:11:45.033
- To give as generous generously as this?
- 00:11:45.033 --> 00:11:49.104
- And this is what david says.
- 00:11:49.704 --> 00:11:50.805
- Everything comes from you, god,
- 00:11:50.805 --> 00:11:53.508
- And we have given you only what comes from your hand.
- 00:11:53.508 --> 00:11:57.746
- So this is one of the most powerful moments of this whole sermon right now.
- 00:11:59.214 --> 00:12:01.449
- Oftentimes we think, wow, i've given this big offering,
- 00:12:02.584 --> 00:12:05.653
- This big amount of money while i've given while i'm serving on the worship team.
- 00:12:07.188 --> 00:12:10.725
- I've given while i'm serving in the lobby
- 00:12:11.593 --> 00:12:12.927
- Or the safety team or the production team.
- 00:12:12.927 --> 00:12:15.263
- But what david actually does, and it's so humbling, is he goes, god,
- 00:12:15.263 --> 00:12:20.735
- Everything comes from you.
- 00:12:21.302 --> 00:12:23.805
- And we have only really given you what comes from your hand.
- 00:12:23.805 --> 00:12:28.843
- In other words, god,
- 00:12:29.310 --> 00:12:31.312
- I can only work this job
- 00:12:31.312 --> 00:12:33.414
- Because you keep squeezing my heart and pulsing the blood through my veins.
- 00:12:33.414 --> 00:12:38.453
- God, i only have this because of you.
- 00:12:39.220 --> 00:12:41.189
- I would have been drunk. i would have been lost.
- 00:12:41.189 --> 00:12:43.892
- I would have been separated, divorced.
- 00:12:43.892 --> 00:12:45.994
- I would have been. oh, come on, some of you.
- 00:12:45.994 --> 00:12:47.796
- How many of you would acknowledge if it had not been for jesus?
- 00:12:47.796 --> 00:12:52.767
- I couldn't even do what i'm doing now.
- 00:12:53.601 --> 00:12:55.236
- So, god, when i think i'm giving you something,
- 00:12:55.236 --> 00:12:58.039
- I'm only giving back what came through your hand.
- 00:12:58.039 --> 00:13:01.342
- Oh, come on, has anybody been saved by god?
- 00:13:02.210 --> 00:13:03.812
- And david knew that david was a small shepherd
- 00:13:03.812 --> 00:13:06.881
- Boy, and the lord raised him up to be a king.
- 00:13:06.881 --> 00:13:10.351
- Many of you, you you've been raised up.
- 00:13:11.152 --> 00:13:13.555
- You, the lord's taking you on a journey.
- 00:13:14.389 --> 00:13:16.257
- And so in these moments you have to say, god, i'm really just giving you
- 00:13:16.257 --> 00:13:19.661
- What's already yours. it came through your hand.
- 00:13:19.661 --> 00:13:22.163
- I wouldn't been able to do it without you.
- 00:13:22.163 --> 00:13:24.899
- In other words, god, you're not lucky to have us.
- 00:13:24.899 --> 00:13:28.703
- We're blessed to have something to return to you.
- 00:13:29.737 --> 00:13:32.974
- Come on. can i get an amen on that?
- 00:13:33.708 --> 00:13:35.510
- So what's happening in first chronicles chapter 29?
- 00:13:35.510 --> 00:13:39.180
- This is not just a building campaign.
- 00:13:39.981 --> 00:13:41.683
- This is a consecration moment.
- 00:13:41.683 --> 00:13:43.852
- They're giving is the way that they're saying, hey, god, we belong to you.
- 00:13:43.852 --> 00:13:48.356
- We live on long island, but we belong to you.
- 00:13:49.290 --> 00:13:50.558
- We live in miami, but we belong to you.
- 00:13:50.558 --> 00:13:52.794
- We live in indiana, but we belong to you.
- 00:13:52.794 --> 00:13:55.230
- Our future belongs to you. no turning back.
- 00:13:55.230 --> 00:13:58.566
- We're bringing this thing because family matters.
- 00:13:59.567 --> 00:14:01.636
- And last week we talked about wise fool, foolish and evil people.
- 00:14:02.904 --> 00:14:06.274
- But today, let's talk about wise, foolish and evil
- 00:14:07.275 --> 00:14:09.544
- Patterns with money in families.
- 00:14:09.544 --> 00:14:13.314
- We're going there.
- 00:14:13.748 --> 00:14:14.749
- Come on. freedom is in the house.
- 00:14:14.749 --> 00:14:16.651
- Wise families say.
- 00:14:16.651 --> 00:14:18.119
- Well, everything we have belongs to god.
- 00:14:18.119 --> 00:14:20.688
- We honor him first.
- 00:14:20.688 --> 00:14:22.323
- We participate in his house.
- 00:14:22.323 --> 00:14:24.626
- We don't see generosity as a loss.
- 00:14:24.626 --> 00:14:27.862
- We see it as worship and legacy.
- 00:14:28.496 --> 00:14:30.965
- But foolish families are random with their money that they give.
- 00:14:32.200 --> 00:14:35.536
- You know when the emotions high, when the band's playing a song,
- 00:14:36.771 --> 00:14:38.806
- When a good sermon is preached.
- 00:14:39.440 --> 00:14:40.975
- They give sometimes at bad churches when they guilt you.
- 00:14:40.975 --> 00:14:44.345
- When the guilt is real heavy.
- 00:14:44.979 --> 00:14:46.381
- You know, some churches use guilt to motivate, but.
- 00:14:46.381 --> 00:14:49.183
- But they might throw something in here or there.
- 00:14:49.183 --> 00:14:52.053
- But but there's no plan.
- 00:14:52.053 --> 00:14:53.755
- There's no obedience.
- 00:14:53.755 --> 00:14:55.089
- There's no consistency.
- 00:14:55.089 --> 00:14:57.225
- It feels spiritual, but it never builds an altar.
- 00:14:57.225 --> 00:15:01.562
- If you're near one of our campuses,
- 00:15:02.297 --> 00:15:04.465
- I want to give you a personal invitation to check out v1 church.
- 00:15:04.465 --> 00:15:09.370
- There's no way i can describe the atmosphere of revival in the experience.
- 00:15:10.838 --> 00:15:14.008
- If you've never driven up or driven in, you know,
- 00:15:15.009 --> 00:15:17.578
- Let me just tell you it's a powerful atmosphere
- 00:15:18.546 --> 00:15:20.381
- And a bunch of people who really love the lord and want to get to know you.
- 00:15:20.381 --> 00:15:24.619
- So let us know when you're coming and i'll see you at v1
- 00:15:25.753 --> 00:15:27.388
- Church.
- 00:15:27.388 --> 00:15:32.327
- Evil patterns or cycles that are in families.
- 00:15:33.261 --> 00:15:37.265
- And this is a lot like where i came from.
- 00:15:37.265 --> 00:15:39.934
- They go even further.
- 00:15:39.934 --> 00:15:41.903
- Evil patterns use money to even control.
- 00:15:41.903 --> 00:15:45.373
- And, you know, they'll say, well,
- 00:15:46.107 --> 00:15:47.976
- I've come and i'm receiving from the church, but i'm not a resource.
- 00:15:47.976 --> 00:15:50.645
- I'll let my kids benefit from the church, but
- 00:15:51.546 --> 00:15:53.414
- I'm going to withhold from the church because they'll be okay.
- 00:15:53.414 --> 00:15:56.751
- They're okay. they look like they're doing all right.
- 00:15:57.785 --> 00:15:59.320
- Or even worse, they'll say, i'll use my money to punish.
- 00:15:59.320 --> 00:16:03.224
- I'll use my money to manipulate.
- 00:16:03.858 --> 00:16:05.994
- I'll even use my money to protect my pride.
- 00:16:05.994 --> 00:16:09.263
- And some of you grew up in homes just like that.
- 00:16:10.231 --> 00:16:13.601
- So i'm reaching into your childhood, and i believe there's a healing
- 00:16:15.003 --> 00:16:17.372
- And a freedom that can happen because you heard sentences like, well,
- 00:16:17.372 --> 00:16:21.376
- All that church wants is your money, or we don't trust pastors, okay.
- 00:16:21.376 --> 00:16:26.681
- Or, hey, we're going to go, but we're not.
- 00:16:27.582 --> 00:16:29.017
- Giving those sentences did not just shape your budget.
- 00:16:29.017 --> 00:16:33.321
- They actually discipled your heart.
- 00:16:34.122 --> 00:16:36.424
- So today, god is inviting your family out of foolishness,
- 00:16:36.424 --> 00:16:40.762
- Out of evil patterns, out of, and cycles.
- 00:16:41.662 --> 00:16:44.499
- And he's bringing your family into wisdom, spiritual wisdom.
- 00:16:45.700 --> 00:16:48.870
- And just like david's generation,
- 00:16:49.637 --> 00:16:51.005
- He is inviting us to stand together as one family.
- 00:16:51.005 --> 00:16:55.209
- And what are we going to do?
- 00:16:55.810 --> 00:16:57.345
- We're going to consecrate ourselves through generosity.
- 00:16:57.345 --> 00:16:59.213
- We're going to separate ourselves through generosity.
- 00:17:00.281 --> 00:17:01.849
- Now, before we talk about our vision offering,
- 00:17:01.849 --> 00:17:05.119
- Let me let me talk about your heart for a second.
- 00:17:06.054 --> 00:17:08.523
- You're going to so because every study on generosity that i read,
- 00:17:09.724 --> 00:17:13.161
- All the scientific literature, all the psychological literature,
- 00:17:14.495 --> 00:17:17.165
- Every study on charitable giving says the same thing in different words.
- 00:17:18.633 --> 00:17:22.203
- It says people give more and they give with joy when three things are present.
- 00:17:23.771 --> 00:17:28.209
- Number one, they trust the leader.
- 00:17:28.976 --> 00:17:31.079
- Number two, they understand the vision.
- 00:17:31.079 --> 00:17:34.082
- And number three, they can actually visibly see the impact.
- 00:17:34.082 --> 00:17:38.352
- If they if they don't trust the leader, they closed their wallet.
- 00:17:39.687 --> 00:17:41.989
- They put the checkbook away.
- 00:17:42.590 --> 00:17:43.524
- They sign off the internet.
- 00:17:43.524 --> 00:17:45.226
- But if they.
- 00:17:45.226 --> 00:17:47.128
- And if they don't understand the mission and what the mission really is,
- 00:17:47.128 --> 00:17:49.230
- They get confused.
- 00:17:49.230 --> 00:17:51.032
- And if they can't see visible impact, they start to get cynical.
- 00:17:51.032 --> 00:17:55.203
- Okay. so let me be very clear.
- 00:17:55.837 --> 00:17:58.239
- First, as your pastor,
- 00:17:58.739 --> 00:18:01.142
- I will never ask you to do something that i am not doing.
- 00:18:01.142 --> 00:18:05.179
- Me and my family, we tithe.
- 00:18:05.780 --> 00:18:07.682
- We give 10% of all of our income to v1 church,
- 00:18:07.682 --> 00:18:11.519
- And we also give offerings above and beyond that.
- 00:18:12.520 --> 00:18:15.089
- We are giving sacrificially into the vision offering today as well.
- 00:18:16.424 --> 00:18:19.694
- I'm not standing in front of you as a fundraiser.
- 00:18:20.628 --> 00:18:23.297
- I'm standing in front of you right now as a participant.
- 00:18:24.432 --> 00:18:26.901
- Second, the mission is crystal clear.
- 00:18:27.702 --> 00:18:30.438
- This is heart for the house.
- 00:18:31.038 --> 00:18:32.907
- This is family matters in action.
- 00:18:32.907 --> 00:18:36.144
- This is not about my lifestyle.
- 00:18:36.777 --> 00:18:38.212
- This is about v1 church, v1 church, long island
- 00:18:38.212 --> 00:18:41.983
- Campus, every campus and our global family stepping into everything
- 00:18:41.983 --> 00:18:47.321
- That god has shown us and given us for 2026.
- 00:18:48.256 --> 00:18:51.159
- And third, you will see the impact.
- 00:18:51.959 --> 00:18:53.895
- You're going to see stages build.
- 00:18:53.895 --> 00:18:56.330
- You're going to see college students trained, time square activated,
- 00:18:56.330 --> 00:19:00.735
- Families fed of film created.
- 00:19:01.369 --> 00:19:03.471
- And yes, i believe even mortgages burned.
- 00:19:03.471 --> 00:19:06.807
- And we're not just trying to make you feel something today.
- 00:19:07.975 --> 00:19:10.645
- We are inviting you to build something that will outlive you and me.
- 00:19:11.979 --> 00:19:15.449
- Come on.
- 00:19:15.716 --> 00:19:16.984
- Let me talk vision and numbers for a moment,
- 00:19:16.984 --> 00:19:19.654
- Because this is where wise families are starting to perk up.
- 00:19:20.922 --> 00:19:23.524
- Wise families are starting to perk up right now because our ministry
- 00:19:24.892 --> 00:19:26.727
- And mission number for 2026, the part that goes straight
- 00:19:26.727 --> 00:19:31.465
- Into new ministry, new outreach and evangelism
- 00:19:31.465 --> 00:19:34.835
- Is $615,000.
- 00:19:35.169 --> 00:19:37.638
- Everybody say 615.
- 00:19:37.638 --> 00:19:40.775
- Now here's what that includes.
- 00:19:41.409 --> 00:19:43.711
- Number one $115,000
- 00:19:43.711 --> 00:19:47.048
- For the v1 church, long island campus stage.
- 00:19:47.048 --> 00:19:50.351
- I'm standing, on the floor right now.
- 00:19:51.118 --> 00:19:53.120
- And this is not about ego.
- 00:19:53.120 --> 00:19:54.488
- This is about building a permanent, excellent stage
- 00:19:54.488 --> 00:19:58.059
- Where we can preach the gospel, as we're doing right
- 00:19:59.093 --> 00:20:01.495
- Now, training leaders and broadcast to the world.
- 00:20:01.495 --> 00:20:05.132
- And that that's an altar where we are actually building it together.
- 00:20:06.500 --> 00:20:09.303
- Number two, $80,000 to build out v1 college on long island.
- 00:20:10.471 --> 00:20:13.874
- Now this is two announcements in one.
- 00:20:14.675 --> 00:20:16.477
- But we've entered a deal with faith university for dual accreditation.
- 00:20:16.477 --> 00:20:21.015
- And our long island building in 2026 is going to turn into
- 00:20:22.183 --> 00:20:25.119
- Partly a college campus with fully accredited
- 00:20:26.053 --> 00:20:29.223
- Bachelor's, master's and doctoral degrees in dual enrollment with v1 college.
- 00:20:30.758 --> 00:20:34.395
- Come on.
- 00:20:34.662 --> 00:20:36.430
- And so you're not going to have to worry about where you go to college
- 00:20:36.430 --> 00:20:38.966
- Or where you send your college, your kid to college.
- 00:20:38.966 --> 00:20:41.235
- And it is going to be
- 00:20:41.235 --> 00:20:43.037
- Significantly more affordable than any college in new york state.
- 00:20:43.037 --> 00:20:46.540
- And there's more announcements coming soon.
- 00:20:47.441 --> 00:20:48.876
- But we need the initial money, $80,000,
- 00:20:48.876 --> 00:20:52.647
- To build out the rest of v1 long island.
- 00:20:52.647 --> 00:20:55.950
- That's classrooms, equipment, and space to discipline and disciple
- 00:20:57.251 --> 00:21:01.022
- And to send the next generation of pastors,
- 00:21:01.922 --> 00:21:03.724
- The next generation of evangelists, worship leaders and creatives.
- 00:21:03.724 --> 00:21:07.028
- And now the next generation of business leaders,
- 00:21:07.028 --> 00:21:11.098
- The next generations of those in the medical fields.
- 00:21:12.133 --> 00:21:14.402
- We are now even going to be able to provide secular, accredited degrees,
- 00:21:15.870 --> 00:21:20.107
- And there will be many that even get pell grants, and they begin
- 00:21:21.342 --> 00:21:23.511
- To come and get educated in this space.
- 00:21:23.511 --> 00:21:26.881
- And if you've ever said, well, you know, i wish somebody would have trained me
- 00:21:28.382 --> 00:21:31.018
- When i was younger, i wish i had a college like that.
- 00:21:31.018 --> 00:21:34.455
- This is your chance to be that for somebody else.
- 00:21:35.456 --> 00:21:38.526
- Number three, $170,000 for the time square event.
- 00:21:39.527 --> 00:21:43.898
- Now that's for all of the staging and the production and the lights and the sound.
- 00:21:45.533 --> 00:21:48.235
- And that is just brass tacks. what it's going to take.
- 00:21:49.337 --> 00:21:50.771
- Nobody's getting paid to preach.
- 00:21:50.771 --> 00:21:52.707
- Nobody's getting paid to lead worship.
- 00:21:52.707 --> 00:21:54.775
- Everybody's a volunteer.
- 00:21:54.775 --> 00:21:56.477
- But we need $170,000 to actually set all the staging up.
- 00:21:56.477 --> 00:22:01.816
- And these are the real numbers of the envoys
- 00:22:02.750 --> 00:22:04.518
- To be able to have the easter sunday in times square.
- 00:22:04.518 --> 00:22:08.189
- God has opened a door right in the heart of new york city,
- 00:22:09.357 --> 00:22:12.059
- And we're going to live stream it around the world.
- 00:22:13.094 --> 00:22:14.595
- And this helps us establish a high visibility presence
- 00:22:14.595 --> 00:22:18.199
- So that what god is doing here is seen around the world.
- 00:22:19.300 --> 00:22:22.336
- It's felt around the world as many are saved.
- 00:22:23.270 --> 00:22:25.072
- Number four, we need $50,000 for vh1 community impact.
- 00:22:25.072 --> 00:22:30.411
- Now, for those of you who don't know, we we rent a space
- 00:22:31.512 --> 00:22:34.382
- In the heart of new york city and, it and we have rent.
- 00:22:34.382 --> 00:22:38.486
- And what this number includes is the rent and the amount of money it takes for,
- 00:22:40.020 --> 00:22:43.357
- The various different facilities so we can distribute food.
- 00:22:44.492 --> 00:22:47.628
- And it's called vh1 community impact.
- 00:22:48.429 --> 00:22:49.697
- We're already doing it.
- 00:22:49.697 --> 00:22:51.432
- And as a matter of fact, we stepped it up over this last year.
- 00:22:51.432 --> 00:22:54.535
- And this is rent support.
- 00:22:55.102 --> 00:22:56.404
- It's food support.
- 00:22:56.404 --> 00:22:57.972
- And new york and indiana and national distribution is serve
- 00:22:57.972 --> 00:23:01.375
- Families who are basically hanging on by a thread right now.
- 00:23:01.375 --> 00:23:05.913
- And when a single mom keeps a roof over her head
- 00:23:06.914 --> 00:23:09.483
- Because the church stepped in, this, that that's right in line with our budget.
- 00:23:11.051 --> 00:23:14.221
- Come on.
- 00:23:14.221 --> 00:23:15.456
- And so, number five, we need $200,000.
- 00:23:15.456 --> 00:23:19.627
- And i'm going to tell you what this is for, because this is unprecedented
- 00:23:21.128 --> 00:23:24.698
- Opportunity that god's given us yet again, to go into amc,
- 00:23:24.698 --> 00:23:29.403
- Cinemark and regal movie theaters and to have our next film
- 00:23:30.638 --> 00:23:34.341
- Where we literally show the nation what the father's heart is all about.
- 00:23:35.810 --> 00:23:39.079
- And the door has opened again.
- 00:23:39.713 --> 00:23:41.482
- Guys, the last time the movie industry allowed me in with the film,
- 00:23:41.482 --> 00:23:45.085
- We had over 70,000 decisions for jesus christ.
- 00:23:46.020 --> 00:23:48.823
- We had thousands of canceled suicides,
- 00:23:49.657 --> 00:23:51.692
- People delivered of demons, healed of diseases.
- 00:23:51.692 --> 00:23:54.895
- And that door has opened again.
- 00:23:54.895 --> 00:23:56.564
- And i've already filmed over 80% of the next movie.
- 00:23:56.564 --> 00:23:59.967
- And it is all about the father, the father's heart,
- 00:24:01.001 --> 00:24:03.838
- Fatherlessness in society and how the local church
- 00:24:04.872 --> 00:24:07.408
- And how the gospel deals with fatherlessness.
- 00:24:07.408 --> 00:24:10.044
- And i believe that a nation is going to be healed as a result of this film.
- 00:24:10.044 --> 00:24:14.815
- And here's the thing most budgets for movies are in the millions
- 00:24:16.116 --> 00:24:17.918
- And millions of dollars because we've been able to volunteer.
- 00:24:17.918 --> 00:24:21.789
- We only need the last remaining $200,000
- 00:24:22.656 --> 00:24:24.592
- To get it, to finish it, to get the finishing work done.
- 00:24:24.592 --> 00:24:27.962
- And then in 2026, we will have another movie in theaters.
- 00:24:27.962 --> 00:24:32.399
- Now, for those of you don't remember, we we had number three in the us box office.
- 00:24:32.399 --> 00:24:37.771
- We were only beat by martin scorsese and which really is not that bad.
- 00:24:39.173 --> 00:24:42.810
- Come on.
- 00:24:42.810 --> 00:24:43.611
- And we were beat by.
- 00:24:43.611 --> 00:24:44.979
- But this, this one should really prick your heart.
- 00:24:44.979 --> 00:24:46.914
- This one should sting a little bit by the exorcist franchise.
- 00:24:46.914 --> 00:24:51.385
- And so like, we literally got beat by a demonic franchise.
- 00:24:52.553 --> 00:24:55.556
- How many of you believe that in 2026 we're going to fund this, movie today,
- 00:24:55.556 --> 00:25:00.794
- And in 2026, we're going to hit number one in the box office for the kingdom,
- 00:25:02.329 --> 00:25:05.099
- And we are going to take over hollywood with the gospel of jesus christ.
- 00:25:06.534 --> 00:25:09.603
- Does anybody believe that we can do it?
- 00:25:10.437 --> 00:25:11.238
- Come on.
- 00:25:11.238 --> 00:25:12.439
- And god will use a church like ours.
- 00:25:12.439 --> 00:25:14.341
- This is a tool to take the story of what god is doing here at vh1,
- 00:25:14.341 --> 00:25:19.246
- And we can put it in front of people who will not walk into a building first,
- 00:25:20.748 --> 00:25:24.552
- But they'll go to a movie theater and they'll see a film and they'll be moved.
- 00:25:26.053 --> 00:25:28.656
- Come on.
- 00:25:28.923 --> 00:25:30.190
- And i'm telling you, and they're and they'll find
- 00:25:30.190 --> 00:25:32.726
- Spiritual family as their family gets healed.
- 00:25:32.726 --> 00:25:35.996
- I filmed all over the world.
- 00:25:36.597 --> 00:25:37.998
- And for this next movie, i'm telling you, get ready.
- 00:25:37.998 --> 00:25:40.701
- The topic is the father's heart.
- 00:25:40.701 --> 00:25:42.803
- And all of this together is $615,000,
- 00:25:42.803 --> 00:25:47.408
- Which really, in the grand scheme of things, is not a lot of money.
- 00:25:48.709 --> 00:25:50.778
- If you think about how many major global things we can do,
- 00:25:50.778 --> 00:25:55.149
- This is our ministry and mission number for 2026.
- 00:25:56.150 --> 00:25:59.653
- But there's one more piece.
- 00:26:00.254 --> 00:26:01.989
- And i'm doing this because so many people have asked the question
- 00:26:01.989 --> 00:26:05.559
- And they've written me, and now i'm being very transparent.
- 00:26:06.727 --> 00:26:09.463
- Hey, mike steiner here in the studio, we're getting ready to jump back
- 00:26:10.864 --> 00:26:13.467
- Into the sermon, but just very briefly, i wanted to let you know
- 00:26:13.467 --> 00:26:17.571
- That i have a resource called the breakers mobile app,
- 00:26:18.672 --> 00:26:21.542
- And i have so many courses there that teach you supernatural ministry
- 00:26:22.943 --> 00:26:26.580
- And how you can unlock the gifts that god has given you.
- 00:26:27.681 --> 00:26:29.650
- I want you to download the mobile app and join a global community of people
- 00:26:29.650 --> 00:26:34.021
- Learning the narrow way, people learning how to operate
- 00:26:34.021 --> 00:26:37.791
- In the fullness of what god has for them, and the gifts of the spirit.
- 00:26:37.791 --> 00:26:42.262
- It's called the breakers of mobile app.
- 00:26:43.063 --> 00:26:44.965
- It's actually entirely free and you can download it now on your device.
- 00:26:44.965 --> 00:26:48.902
- I will see you there.
- 00:26:48.902 --> 00:26:53.907
- How many of you
- 00:26:54.274 --> 00:26:56.276
- Have ever had a mortgage of your own that you wanted that thing gone?
- 00:26:56.276 --> 00:27:00.280
- Come on, you wanted that mortgage gone at at v1?
- 00:27:00.280 --> 00:27:03.984
- Like many families, we have mortgages.
- 00:27:04.818 --> 00:27:07.321
- The remaining loan for v1 church, long island
- 00:27:08.255 --> 00:27:11.025
- And is $4.27 million.
- 00:27:11.525 --> 00:27:15.095
- I'm just being very transparent with you.
- 00:27:15.996 --> 00:27:17.898
- That's the remaining loan and the remaining loan for the indiana campus
- 00:27:17.898 --> 00:27:21.969
- That many of you are in right now is $397,000, which really is not a lot.
- 00:27:23.437 --> 00:27:28.142
- And i have stewarded
- 00:27:28.609 --> 00:27:30.377
- The finances of this church on a level that you would never imagine.
- 00:27:30.377 --> 00:27:33.681
- And i've been able to move mountains by faith, but that's it.
- 00:27:33.681 --> 00:27:37.818
- Our faith target now together for this next season,
- 00:27:38.886 --> 00:27:41.388
- Including those loans, is just a little over $5.2 million.
- 00:27:42.556 --> 00:27:46.527
- And here's the vision.
- 00:27:47.027 --> 00:27:48.028
- And i'm being bold.
- 00:27:48.028 --> 00:27:49.296
- The boldest i've ever been.
- 00:27:49.296 --> 00:27:50.864
- We are believing god to not just pay down those mortgages.
- 00:27:50.864 --> 00:27:54.468
- We are believing god to pay them off and to have a mortgage burning.
- 00:27:55.803 --> 00:27:58.872
- As we step into 2026, you know, people have been asking me,
- 00:27:58.872 --> 00:28:03.510
- You know, pastor mike, what are the real numbers
- 00:28:04.478 --> 00:28:06.613
- And what would it take to see that day of a mortgage burning?
- 00:28:07.815 --> 00:28:10.117
- And those are the real numbers.
- 00:28:10.117 --> 00:28:12.386
- So i want you to imagine this with me.
- 00:28:12.386 --> 00:28:14.788
- Imagine standing in this room
- 00:28:14.788 --> 00:28:17.357
- At v1 church, long island.
- 00:28:17.925 --> 00:28:19.993
- Imagine standing in indiana at the start of 2026,
- 00:28:19.993 --> 00:28:24.898
- And we literally celebrate a mortgage burning.
- 00:28:25.866 --> 00:28:28.569
- We hold the papers in our hands and say, we used to owe millions of dollars,
- 00:28:30.104 --> 00:28:33.574
- But a generation rose up who gave sacrificially and now more
- 00:28:34.742 --> 00:28:38.779
- And more of every dollar goes straight into mission for the rest of our lives.
- 00:28:40.280 --> 00:28:44.384
- That is not just about buildings.
- 00:28:45.052 --> 00:28:46.820
- Now that is about legacy.
- 00:28:46.820 --> 00:28:49.389
- That is about your kids and your grandkids sitting in a debt free church
- 00:28:49.389 --> 00:28:54.728
- Saying, my parents and grandparents, they did that.
- 00:28:55.763 --> 00:28:58.432
- Come on today.
- 00:28:58.799 --> 00:29:00.200
- This vision offering is a step towards that day.
- 00:29:00.200 --> 00:29:03.437
- So let let's just connect all the dots now.
- 00:29:04.371 --> 00:29:06.774
- Family matters is not just a cute
- 00:29:07.508 --> 00:29:09.309
- Little title, it's a prophetic statement.
- 00:29:09.309 --> 00:29:12.579
- Your family matters.
- 00:29:13.046 --> 00:29:14.414
- What your family believes about money matters.
- 00:29:14.414 --> 00:29:17.184
- What what your family models to your children.
- 00:29:17.184 --> 00:29:21.088
- It matters.
- 00:29:21.421 --> 00:29:23.257
- Wise families don't just remove toxic people, they remove toxic agreements.
- 00:29:23.257 --> 00:29:28.228
- Come on agreements with fear, agreements with scarcity, agreements
- 00:29:29.563 --> 00:29:33.734
- With cynicism about god's house, foolish families.
- 00:29:33.734 --> 00:29:37.805
- They sit back and they say, well, hey, somebody else is going to do it.
- 00:29:37.805 --> 00:29:41.108
- We'll just watch.
- 00:29:41.108 --> 00:29:42.709
- And evil patterns, they whisper,
- 00:29:42.709 --> 00:29:45.979
- We will consume, but we will not contribute.
- 00:29:46.914 --> 00:29:49.149
- Today.
- 00:29:49.383 --> 00:29:50.284
- V1 we are choosing wisdom.
- 00:29:50.284 --> 00:29:53.187
- Now, i know some of you are actually thinking to yourself, you know, pastor,
- 00:29:54.688 --> 00:29:58.225
- You know, i brought my kids, you know, they're a little wild, you know.
- 00:29:59.626 --> 00:30:02.696
- And by the way, my kids, they don't have any money.
- 00:30:03.697 --> 00:30:05.432
- Perfect.
- 00:30:05.432 --> 00:30:07.401
- We designed today so that every person can participate, even the littles.
- 00:30:07.401 --> 00:30:11.872
- We told the parents, have your kids bring something.
- 00:30:12.906 --> 00:30:15.242
- Some of them have piggy banks.
- 00:30:15.876 --> 00:30:17.144
- Come on. do they still have those?
- 00:30:17.144 --> 00:30:18.712
- Some of them have coins.
- 00:30:18.712 --> 00:30:20.681
- Some of them have a toy that they brought here
- 00:30:20.681 --> 00:30:23.584
- That they're getting ready to give here in a few moments.
- 00:30:23.584 --> 00:30:26.753
- Come on.
- 00:30:27.020 --> 00:30:28.455
- Some of them brought canned goods from the cupboard
- 00:30:28.455 --> 00:30:30.824
- That they're going to use to bless families.
- 00:30:31.758 --> 00:30:33.493
- Man, i feel like i want to cry because we're going to teach families
- 00:30:33.493 --> 00:30:36.196
- How to break evil, evil patterns, and we're going to give.
- 00:30:36.196 --> 00:30:39.900
- And if your toddler is getting ready to walk down this aisle
- 00:30:41.101 --> 00:30:43.203
- With a crusty cheerio that they throw into the basket, listen,
- 00:30:43.203 --> 00:30:47.274
- That might be the most sacrificial gift in the entire church. why?
- 00:30:48.575 --> 00:30:51.979
- Because we're learning that when, fam,
- 00:30:52.813 --> 00:30:54.781
- When god's family builds an altar, we move together.
- 00:30:54.781 --> 00:30:59.753
- So come on, get ready to bring your crusty cheerio because we're moving together.
- 00:31:01.288 --> 00:31:04.791
- Here's how this is going to work now at every campus.
- 00:31:05.826 --> 00:31:08.295
- My my my i just i feel the ground shaking underneath me.
- 00:31:09.429 --> 00:31:12.199
- There's many of you
- 00:31:12.666 --> 00:31:14.501
- Watching online right now that you're being compelled by the spirit.
- 00:31:14.501 --> 00:31:16.703
- And here's how this is going to work, even for our global online family.
- 00:31:18.105 --> 00:31:20.073
- Right now at every seat, whether that's your couch,
- 00:31:20.073 --> 00:31:24.111
- Whether that's in a nightclub in brooklyn, come on, right here in long island,
- 00:31:25.679 --> 00:31:29.216
- You should see a pen and an envelope and on your couch you're going to see
- 00:31:30.684 --> 00:31:33.353
- Right above you on the screen a qr code.
- 00:31:33.353 --> 00:31:36.690
- Or you can use v1 dot church, and you can go to the mobile app as well.
- 00:31:38.125 --> 00:31:41.028
- But i want you to grab the pen and envelope, and i want you to get ready.
- 00:31:42.462 --> 00:31:43.897
- Now, if you're giving physically this is cash or check,
- 00:31:43.897 --> 00:31:48.568
- You can use that envelope at the physical campuses right now.
- 00:31:49.736 --> 00:31:52.339
- And i want you to write vision 2026 on it.
- 00:31:53.206 --> 00:31:55.676
- And the amount vision 2026 and the amount.
- 00:31:56.576 --> 00:31:59.246
- And if you're giving digitally,
- 00:31:59.880 --> 00:32:01.348
- You can still use the envelope as a point of contact.
- 00:32:01.348 --> 00:32:05.018
- And what do i mean by that?
- 00:32:05.619 --> 00:32:06.887
- You know, you can write in a memo giving online
- 00:32:06.887 --> 00:32:09.856
- And you can write that amount.
- 00:32:10.490 --> 00:32:11.458
- And so here's the thing.
- 00:32:11.458 --> 00:32:13.060
- You see the qr code on the screen,
- 00:32:13.060 --> 00:32:16.029
- And you see a link in the
- 00:32:16.596 --> 00:32:18.198
- Comment section where you can give to the vision offering.
- 00:32:18.198 --> 00:32:22.002
- Our online global family youtube.
- 00:32:22.736 --> 00:32:25.138
- Come on facebook, our online campus.
- 00:32:25.138 --> 00:32:27.574
- This is your moment to you may be in another state
- 00:32:27.574 --> 00:32:30.978
- Or even another nation, but this is your family.
- 00:32:31.945 --> 00:32:34.514
- You're a part of our family
- 00:32:35.115 --> 00:32:36.717
- And i want you to type even in the chat right now if you can.
- 00:32:36.717 --> 00:32:39.519
- I'm in or my family is giving,
- 00:32:39.519 --> 00:32:42.823
- Or you can even write the phrase,
- 00:32:43.557 --> 00:32:45.592
- As as your step of faith, like, hey, i'm doing this.
- 00:32:45.592 --> 00:32:48.895
- I'm in.
- 00:32:48.895 --> 00:32:50.430
- Before we move, i'm going to ask you to do three things, though,
- 00:32:50.430 --> 00:32:53.667
- Because we're getting ready to move and just stay in your seats for a moment.
- 00:32:53.667 --> 00:32:57.637
- Number one, ask the holy spirit.
- 00:32:58.271 --> 00:33:01.008
- What does wise, sacrificial generosity look like for our family today?
- 00:33:01.008 --> 00:33:06.246
- Not not equal gifts, but equal sacrifice.
- 00:33:07.114 --> 00:33:11.184
- For some, wisdom might be $1,000.
- 00:33:11.852 --> 00:33:14.021
- For some it might be $10,000.
- 00:33:14.021 --> 00:33:16.023
- It might be $1 million.
- 00:33:16.023 --> 00:33:17.724
- For some, it might be the first time that you've ever even tithe
- 00:33:17.724 --> 00:33:21.328
- And you actually sign up for reoccurring giving.
- 00:33:21.328 --> 00:33:23.897
- But first, for some it might be kids emptying your piggy bank.
- 00:33:23.897 --> 00:33:27.467
- Now bringing a toy.
- 00:33:27.467 --> 00:33:28.902
- The question is not what can i spare?
- 00:33:28.902 --> 00:33:31.605
- The question is, lord, what are you asking us to consecrate, to set apart?
- 00:33:31.605 --> 00:33:36.843
- And number two, come on.
- 00:33:37.344 --> 00:33:39.112
- I want you to refuse toxic thoughts when fear starts shouting.
- 00:33:39.112 --> 00:33:43.850
- Well, what if you don't have enough?
- 00:33:44.618 --> 00:33:46.119
- Remember david's prayer in first chronicles chapter 29?
- 00:33:46.119 --> 00:33:50.424
- Everything comes from you, god, and we have given
- 00:33:51.425 --> 00:33:54.795
- You only what came from your own hand.
- 00:33:55.629 --> 00:33:58.632
- The same god who carried you this far is not going to abandon you
- 00:33:59.933 --> 00:34:03.904
- Because you stepped out into generosity, and we break
- 00:34:04.938 --> 00:34:07.607
- That foolish, toxic thought in the name of jesus.
- 00:34:07.607 --> 00:34:10.977
- And number three, lead your children.
- 00:34:11.778 --> 00:34:14.147
- Let them see you give.
- 00:34:14.648 --> 00:34:16.116
- Let them see you. walk to the front.
- 00:34:16.116 --> 00:34:18.585
- Let them see you.
- 00:34:18.585 --> 00:34:20.120
- Click that cement that give button on a sacrificial gift
- 00:34:20.120 --> 00:34:23.790
- And show them that if you're watching online,
- 00:34:24.724 --> 00:34:26.159
- You are discipling them in the how to handle money.
- 00:34:26.159 --> 00:34:28.929
- Now you are teaching them that in this house we don't cling to fear.
- 00:34:28.929 --> 00:34:34.101
- We open our hands and we open them in faith.
- 00:34:35.001 --> 00:34:37.170
- In just a moment, i'm getting ready to pray.
- 00:34:38.071 --> 00:34:40.073
- And after i pray and every v1 campus, i want us to stand as one family.
- 00:34:40.073 --> 00:34:45.612
- After i pray.
- 00:34:45.979 --> 00:34:47.380
- Parents, i want you to take your children with you.
- 00:34:47.380 --> 00:34:49.983
- If they brought canned goods, toys, piggy banks,
- 00:34:49.983 --> 00:34:53.286
- And let them take those in their own hands.
- 00:34:54.187 --> 00:34:56.189
- And if you're a teenager, come on, come with your friends or your family.
- 00:34:56.189 --> 00:35:01.161
- If you're single, come as part of this spiritual family.
- 00:35:02.262 --> 00:35:05.198
- We're going to walk to the front, and we're going to place our offerings,
- 00:35:06.666 --> 00:35:09.669
- Our envelopes, our cans, our toys, our piggy banks into these baskets.
- 00:35:11.104 --> 00:35:14.107
- And this is not just putting something in the bucket.
- 00:35:15.142 --> 00:35:17.511
- Just putting no, no, no.
- 00:35:18.011 --> 00:35:19.379
- This is our first chronicles chapter 29 moment.
- 00:35:19.379 --> 00:35:23.383
- David looked at this generation and said,
- 00:35:24.251 --> 00:35:26.820
- Who is willing to consecrate themselves to the lord today?
- 00:35:27.988 --> 00:35:31.258
- Today, across seven campuses
- 00:35:31.858 --> 00:35:35.262
- And all over the world online, god is looking at the one church,
- 00:35:36.563 --> 00:35:40.066
- And he's asking each and every one of us the same question,
- 00:35:41.234 --> 00:35:43.537
- Who is willing in this generation to consecrate their things before the lord?
- 00:35:45.038 --> 00:35:48.708
- Their finances, their money, their resources?
- 00:35:49.609 --> 00:35:51.878
- And if you're online, as we come forward to this room,
- 00:35:51.878 --> 00:35:55.549
- I want you to click that link, give your gift,
- 00:35:56.516 --> 00:35:58.351
- And then type in the chat i'm giving or my family is giving
- 00:35:58.351 --> 00:36:02.355
- And that's you're walking towards us in the altar moment.
- 00:36:02.355 --> 00:36:06.259
- Would you bow your heads with me?
- 00:36:06.993 --> 00:36:08.762
- Everybody bow your heads with me.
- 00:36:08.762 --> 00:36:10.931
- Let's pray.
- 00:36:10.931 --> 00:36:12.199
- Father, everything that we have comes from you.
- 00:36:12.199 --> 00:36:14.968
- You gave us breath, strength,
- 00:36:15.602 --> 00:36:18.205
- Opportunities, ideas, relationships, every open door.
- 00:36:18.205 --> 00:36:23.276
- And today, like david's generation, we do not come reluctantly.
- 00:36:24.578 --> 00:36:28.615
- We come willingly.
- 00:36:29.049 --> 00:36:30.383
- We come with whole hearts going v1.
- 00:36:30.383 --> 00:36:33.720
- We break every toxic agreement with fear,
- 00:36:34.588 --> 00:36:37.157
- With scarcity, with cynicism.
- 00:36:37.791 --> 00:36:40.193
- And we raise up wise families, moms and dads, teens and children
- 00:36:40.193 --> 00:36:44.998
- Who see generosity as worship and legacy, not loss.
- 00:36:46.066 --> 00:36:49.903
- As we give into stages being built into colleges, being built into times
- 00:36:51.338 --> 00:36:55.141
- Square, broadcasting the gospel community in pack, opening up to distribute food
- 00:36:56.743 --> 00:37:01.081
- Into a movie that's shown across america, and to even paying off these mortgages.
- 00:37:02.716 --> 00:37:06.486
- Let it all be for one purpose that jesus christ would be lifted up,
- 00:37:07.887 --> 00:37:12.626
- That souls would be saved, that disciples will be made,
- 00:37:13.727 --> 00:37:16.930
- And that generations not yet born
- 00:37:17.664 --> 00:37:19.733
- Would inherit a house of freedom.
- 00:37:19.733 --> 00:37:23.036
- Bless every gift, bless every giver, and let us see the day that we burn
- 00:37:24.471 --> 00:37:28.375
- Those mortgages and shout, look
- 00:37:29.009 --> 00:37:32.145
- What the lord has done in jesus name.
- 00:37:32.145 --> 00:37:36.383
- Amen.
- 00:37:36.616 --> 00:37:38.084
- Come on, i feel the power of god on that right now.
- 00:37:38.084 --> 00:37:41.154
- This is a legacy moment.
- 00:37:41.655 --> 00:37:42.922
- V1 church across every campus.
- 00:37:42.922 --> 00:37:45.692
- Would you stand with me now? come on, stand up.
- 00:37:45.692 --> 00:37:48.361
- Go ahead.
- 00:37:48.361 --> 00:37:49.296
- Take that envelope.
- 00:37:49.296 --> 00:37:50.630
- Take that canned good.
- 00:37:50.630 --> 00:37:51.931
- That toy, that piggy bank.
- 00:37:51.931 --> 00:37:53.933
- Take that crusty cheerio.
- 00:37:53.933 --> 00:37:55.802
- Come on. take your phone right now.
- 00:37:55.802 --> 00:37:57.570
- If you're digital right now, as the team begins to lead us in worship,
- 00:37:57.570 --> 00:38:02.542
- I want you to lead your family in worship.
- 00:38:03.410 --> 00:38:05.278
- I want you to come now.
- 00:38:05.278 --> 00:38:06.813
- Take that step from the front row and come.
- 00:38:06.813 --> 00:38:10.183
- Come as families.
- 00:38:10.617 --> 00:38:11.818
- Come as friends.
- 00:38:11.818 --> 00:38:13.553
- Come as one house.
- 00:38:13.553 --> 00:38:15.555
- This is our family matters moment.
- 00:38:15.555 --> 00:38:18.892
- This is our first chronicles chapter 29 moment.
- 00:38:19.859 --> 00:38:22.329
- Let's move now.
- 00:38:22.696 --> 00:38:23.930
- Come on. and let's give unto the lord.
- 00:38:23.930 --> 00:38:27.267
- I really want to thank you for supporting this ministry.
- 00:38:28.401 --> 00:38:30.570
- Pray about what god would have you do.
- 00:38:31.404 --> 00:38:33.006
- We don't tell people what to give.
- 00:38:33.006 --> 00:38:34.874
- What we do love to talk about is the amazing, life saving projects
- 00:38:34.874 --> 00:38:39.312
- That we do around the united states and around the world,
- 00:38:39.312 --> 00:38:42.615
- Whether it's distributing the gospel in non-christian nations,
- 00:38:43.817 --> 00:38:46.486
- Even underground church networks, or providing disaster relief to areas
- 00:38:46.486 --> 00:38:51.224
- Most affected around the united states, many lives are being changed
- 00:38:51.224 --> 00:38:55.428
- Because of your generosity.
- 00:38:55.428 --> 00:39:01.134
- Your.
- 00:39:01.368 --> 00:39:01.368
