  • 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.
