The Mount Worship Experience | 3.6.22

[Music] more [Music] hey i'm bishop kim brown and i'm so excited today and the reason i'm so excited is because of you today i get the opportunity to sow the incorruptible word of god into your heart i want to personally welcome you to the mount's online worship experience and while you're here why don't you do several things number one start to follow us subscribe to our youtube channel make sure that other people have the blessing that you will receive today we're on all digital platforms so please remind everyone share with everyone connect with someone i dedicate you to the spirit of evangelism today once again thank you for joining us welcome to the mount where we always believe church is supposed to change lives hey this is pastor john and i want to be the first to welcome you to the mount virtual you might be asking what is the mount virtual the mount virtual is our objective to make sure that our global partners can be connected even when they can't be at one of our eight physical locations well you might be asking what's a global partner those are the partners that are not connected to one of our physical sites but are still connected to the fellowship through our virtual option which is our way of making sure that we cover care and connect even our people who might be as far away as europe or africa how do we do this whether you want a baby dedication whether you want to have a baptism of range whether you just want counseling whether you want to get married and you just need marriage counseling or you want to have your home dedicated we can provide all of those options for you the same way we do for a partner at one of our physical locations so we like to say here at the mount virtual that we are one click away because no matter where you are in the world all you got to do is get to a device and click and you're right there with us so we're so glad that you're joining us today and don't forget if you're not a partner yet you'll have an opportunity in this broadcast to make a spiritual decision and connect to the mount virtual so god bless you and enjoy the worship experience [Music] hey praise the lord i'm bishop ken brown and i want to personally invite you to be sensitive to the spirit of giving you know when i was a child for her birthday for mother's day and for christmas my mother would always give me twenty dollars and she would tell me this is not yours to spend this is yours to go buy me something for my birthday or for christmas the reality is she later informed me that she was teaching me to number one always appreciate who she was and number two to develop the spirit of giving i want to suggest that that's exactly what god does with us because the bible makes it clear that the earth is the lord's the fullness thereof but he gives us the opportunity to be able to show him our appreciation for all that he does so please know that today there is the opportunity for you to bring your tithe into the storehouse i'm sure that all of us can testify that god has really been good to us especially in the midst of a pandemic now if by chance you haven't had any increase your substantial oil has not flowed at the same level that's a great theological way to say if you don't have any income please know god understands and without a doubt the church understands but for many of us we can really testify that god has in fact continued to bless us financially physically in all walks of our life god desires and expects that we would bring the tithe into the storehouse the bible makes it clear that the tithe does not belong to us so i want to remind you today that god honors faith and faith honors god always remember the bible says he that so sparingly will reap sparingly but he that sows bountifully will reap bountifully you know we're good stewards you know that this is a place where you can believe without a doubt that whatever you give will be used to extend the arms of the kingdom of god because we will always believe that church is supposed to change lives [Music] [Music] so [Music] [Applause] hey [Music] hey everybody it's your girl kimberly and i am here on the set of sundays ain't enough if you enjoy season one i got news for you season two we are back and better you can catch us every monday morning at 8 a.m for the months of march and april but don't worry if

is champion our god is champion the song had already sucker punched me with that but did i want to push you to push today why don't you get up in your bedroom get up in your kitchen turn off the stove just for a moment take the eggs off the eye and just stand in the center of the kitchen and just began to worship turn the volume down on your phone in cubicle number two and just raise your hands up sitting at your workstation [Music] the beautiful thing about being a champion is it implies that there was some form of a victory [Music] so if somebody's asking right now how do you know your god is a champion okay let's let's just play out some people say confucius is god when confucius died he didn't get back up some people say buddha is god [Music] buddha is squatting unable to move i'm not trying to offend anybody but there's only one god that died and three days later got up from the day that's why he's the champion not trying to insult anybody else but i feel like the prophet elijah you call on your god that's squatting i'll call on my god that's alive you call on your god that's in the grave i'll call on my god that the grave couldn't hold back you call on your god that's only written about in books but nobody's ever seen him on earth i'll call on my god that walked as my granddaddy would say the mundane shores of this earth my god our god well good morning welcome to worship we are the mount chesapeake we are the mount virtual thank you man good morning sister jackson over in york pennsylvania good morning sister rose in bonton beach florida florida is my second home i i love some florida i ain't real happy about the leadership of the state but i love the state so thank you for hanging out with us today for those of you that this is your first time ever worshiping with us i've got a treat for you i'm getting ready to say something that sounds so presumptuous you're gonna be blessed today absolutely there is a word from the lord today in fact what i need you to do is not be selfish with this worship experience and this word t tweet somebody text somebody email somebody look let's go old school main apoca heist up the window and hollow out the window and just let them know that the mount is online right now if you don't have a smart tv turn on your dumb tv and go over there and hook it up some kind of a way so that you can connect because we believe that god has ordained this as a defining moment i want to remind you of several things before we get into the word today scholarship applications are now available on the website now you must be an active partner of the church in order to apply for a scholarship so it's not just open for everyone we have relieved some of the responsibilities because we've been in covet protocol for two years um so please avail yourselves of that but parents make sure that your young person completes the application you know if there's nothing else you've learned about educators they are sticklers for the rule i know elder raymond alexander one of our elders is watching today and he was my college biology professor he would always do a test at exactly eight o'clock young people i'm giving you some pre-college advice now if you know you're not a morning person don't sign up for eight o'clock biology and if your parking permit is on the other side of campus don't sign up for eight o'clock biology i would get to his class at 805 he would say pass up your paper and i would miss it end of the semester i was one point away from a c i went to his office and i said um dr alexander can i can i write a paper or something and he said well if i do that for you that's not fair to all of the other students in the class i wasn't really worried about all the other students in the class but he was because educators are sticklers for rules so please make sure that your young person fills out all of the application does all of the references and gets it in you cannot bring it to the church you have to mail it it has to be postmarked amen this is man i was just blown away during the pre-show with um dr angie and and minister jackie grice because they they introduced us to some women i knew about the women but for instance some of the things i'm learning this month this is women's history month i did not realize that women i knew women were bad to the bone and i knew african american women were bad earth to the bone but just some of the stuff that they invented i never ever knew about and so i just want to celebrate women celebrate the women in my life that um have just been she rose to me that are doing extraordinary things women and our fellowship women around the world so happy um women's history month don't forget april the 17th we're going to bring god our best

praying for ukraine um you know man i it just breaks my heart every day when i see um different scenes about what's going on in ukraine it's just so amazing to see somebody have so much hatred and evil and wickedness in their heart they would just go provoke an attack on a nation and so please pray for our sisters and brothers in ukraine and and april we will be doing baptism i've been getting emails from some of you that this season has been so um motivating in your life that you want to be re-baptized we're going to work that out and we will be doing that in april you'll hear more about

i'm so excited so watch your email tomorrow you will receive via email a study guide so you can go back and reinforce the sermon amen all right turn with me to the gospel of luke chapter seven luke chapter seven we're going to read two verses but we're going to minister through um more than that in the story but luke chapter 7 starting with verse 36. listen to what it says one of the pharisees asked jesus to have dinner with him so jesus went to his home and sat down to eat when a certain immoral woman from that city heard he was eating there she brought a beautiful alabaster jar filled with expensive perfume those of you in the room and those of you around the world can you just join me in shouting radical generosity radical generosity radical generosity father i pray for anointing that will enable me to make the word speak clearly i declare that we will never ever be the same after hearing and receiving the word this day i claim the authority to share the gospel in the name of jesus amen one of the blessings of my life one of the greatest blessings of my life i see so many spartan alum in here spartan supporters one of the greatest blessings in my life pastor marcus is sitting on the board at norfolk state university my albemarle good morning sister cobbs in philadelphia you might know my auntie she lives in philadelphia like philadelphia and sparta mississippi and so pastor furby one of the highlights is that the young man that graduated by grace thank you lordy is on the board of the university elder asked me all the time what was my number my rank when i graduated from norfolk state i don't remember my rank because that was not a priority i graduated and what i've learned is whether you were number five in line or number 505 in line my diploma has a green cover with gold writing has the same seal from the state of virginia that everybody else's seal has on it it's signed by harrison wilson who was the president of the college whether you graduated laude soon lordy magna laude or thank you lord you got the same diploma now you did get to wear a gold tassel with my degree i can go to the home goods store buy me a gold tassel if i really want to tassel dr andrew one of the highlights of being on the board was sitting in the board meeting and i'm sitting next to dr j anytime somebody tries to brag on their president i always tell them well we're the only school with where dr j is the president now that works most times unless it's a young person that's too young to remember who julius ervin was so we're sitting there in the board meeting and in the midst aisha of the board meeting staff comes in [Music] and whispers in dr jay's ear and in the middle of a presentation she says excuse me i need to step out and take a phone call okay now can you imagine you and board meeting your bosses are sitting around the table administrator comes in and says you got a phone call and you gonna shut the board meeting down to go take a phone call will you know this better be life or death hey man somebody y'all don't understand how boards work so we sitting there in the room while dr jay goes to answer a phone call you know and we're sitting there trying to play this off like that must be a major phone call she gonna just step out aboard me to take a phone call when she walks back in by then you know one or two of us two or three of us three or four of us four or five of us feeling some kind of a way like unless that was jesus calling you we want to know who was important enough to call you on the phone and you suspend the board meeting to go answer the phone she said well i apologize for taking the phone call but it was important i needed to take that well you know that ain't sufficient we need we need we we need come on y'all talk to me we need some details you just you just stepped out from the board meeting to take a phone call i hope it wants your cousin calling you to just let you know that your third cousin on your mama's side had a car you know i mean what what in the world would be important enough she said well i'm and you could tell you could tell you could tell you could tell it was it was going to be a different kind of announcement she said well i'm just really proud to announce to the board that the reason why you know i would not step out of the board meeting to take a phone call if it was not major well major is not always relative what's major to one person might not be major to another person so we still need some details pastor marcus she said well you know the university's endowment is 39 million dollars you know and i'm sitting there kind of proud like you know 39 million dollars ain't nothing to sneeze at she said but as of about 30 minutes ago the endowment now is 79 million dollars because we just received a 40 million dollar gift to the university that's unrestricted i remember sitting there saying first of all god who in the world can write a 40 million dollar check and then have the audacity to slow me down god because you know where i'm going to not put any restrictions on oh y'all know yeah i already got y'all stepped in your kitchen right now we put restrictions on our 13.50 that we gave to god last year we like god if i give this now what i need you to do is i need a new navigator i want to make sure that my rent is paid i want my mama to be healed i want my cousin to get saved can you imagine and right then god told me i've been holding dr angie this story for the for the sunday that we started in the stewardship campaign i believe that god is not just looking for givers now god is not just looking for folk that brag about bringing a tithe god is looking for people with radical generosity well what in the world is radical generosity come here i'm glad you asked radical generosity is when a woman can walk into somebody else's crib break open her alabaster box and begin to pour it out i'm talking to you sister rose in alexandria can you see this woman come in to the man's crib and open her alabaster box god told me watch this pastor chris minister chris god said i want you to understand that just like there are levels to the spirit of giving there are levels to the way i respond to givers oh god y'all need to put some hearts in the chat right there watch this he said when you give radically when you have a radical generosity pastor furby i feel some sunday morning rising up on sunday morning god knows y'all gonna come get your boy when you have a radical generosity watch this the first thing it does come here class lean into the screen go right up to the television because i'm coming right down your street radical generosity always shows and declares endurance [Music] okay watch this watch this watch this here it is look at verse 47 when they start to describe the lady what's this minister chris it says i tell you her sins and they are many have been forgiven now i used to say why they got to say that the sister had many sins the reality is all of us are sinners whether we got one sin or 32 sinners why they got to throw out pastor furby that the sister had many sins i want to suggest to you that it's just interpreting and dialoguing about the fact that this woman had survived sister sister deborah all the way in middleton delaware every now and then what i've learned come here come here y'all i'm gonna preach myself happy sometimes when god gives me an opportunity to give i'm not given trying to impress y'all i'm not giving trying to impress anybody else i'm giving because it's just a statement that i have endured i don't know who needs to hear this but you ought to be ready to give god something radical today just because a million people died during covet you ought to be ready to give god something radical because you know i survived i wish i had about three worshipers that would just jump up and say i'm just giving because i survived i'm giving because i can give i'm giving because i got something left i'm giving because my bed didn't become my cooling board when this woman gets in there and she recognizes that she has been able to endure is there anybody out there around the world that'll jump up right now and say god i gotta bless you not because i deserve it but because i've been doing i've come through hell and i'm still here i come through heart attacks and i'm still here i've lost loved ones and i'm still here lost jobs and i'm still here they lied on me and i'm still here they said i'd never be anything and i'm still here watch this hebrews 10 36 says patient endurance is what you need now so that you will continue to do god's will period then you will receive all that he has promised can i come right down your street god didn't lie to you god didn't forget what he said god didn't change his mind god didn't write it off it wasn't written in dry erase he didn't erase it whatever god said to you i promise you it's going to come to pass all god is trying to make sure is that you endure the season that you're in and if you endure the season i promise you that everything god promised everything that god shared stop being depressed stop being discouraged and understand all i got to do is outlive trouble all i got to do is i'll leave the gospel all i've got to do is outlive all the folks that lied on me all i got to do is outlive a health challenge all i got to do is outlive a crazy vote because endurance always leads to the promise so the reason why this sister gets in there she get up in there doctor and she's like look throw none of y'all up in here [Music] shoot don't none of y'all in here know what i need to do and the reason why i'm giving is because of what i made it through so watch this radical generosity is always based upon declaring endurance god help me not to preach myself happy not only does it declare endurance but watch this radical generosity always distracts enemies okay have y'all ever noticed around the world sister jewel in brooklyn new york this is what's crazy i spent all week shout you look get your hand on the keyboard and get ready to just keep hitting some hearts you don't need to just sit there for a minute and just keep hitting some hearts because what i'm getting ready to say is gonna release your finger this is the way you dance in the spirit now this is the new way you dance in the spirit when you're in virtual church pick them up put them down pick them up put them down watch this i started to ask myself pastor furby the woman gives her alabaster she breaks open her alabaster box and they get mad okay y'all mr turn with me right there i got 11 minutes come on don't make me work why would they get mad when she didn't give none of their stuff i could understand if she went over and took chris their stuff and gave it but the text makes it clear she ain't asked nobody for anything she didn't beg anybody for anything she gave that which was rightfully hers so watch this sister shannon i i spent all week with god y'all ain't ready y'all ain't ready get yourself ready let me tell you i see your girlfriend still laying in the bed with them rollers in your hair you might want to throw the cover up you ain't gonna be able to sit in the bed when i go there so go and get yourself get your fuzzy slippers ready cause you bout to run out the bedroom down the hall to the kitchen and do a lap because i had to ask god [Music] why does the woman have so many enemies they talking about she had no business giving this one text one version says that could have been sold and the money here it is right here in verse 39 it says when the pharisee who had invited him saw this he said to himself if this man was a prophet he would know what kind of woman is touching him she's a sinner okay god help me right here i said why did the brother get upset pastor marcus when she gave radically what was hers to give radically oh sister rebecca brown give that turn 98 y'all i'm gonna do this in honor of her hey okay you don't you don't know sister rebecca brown that's the way she used to praise god watch this minister chern god came to me he said the reason why the brother is upset you do know contextual revelation says that this woman that had many sins had many sins because of her relationships with the brethrens okay yeah i went there i went there [Music] she had the gift and knew how to use it okay now y'all gonna play me now y'all gonna play me you know she was the one that when she walked in the room the room knew she was in the room i wanna take pastoral license based upon the contextual reality of the woman's background to suggest pastor very but check it out that the reason why the pharisee got upset and knew how expensive the spikenard was or the alabaster was is because he might have been to do they had given it to her in the first place somebody ought to be ready to give god glory what i've learned is that the reason why people can't handle my radical generosity is not personal is that my spirit of giving starts to convict them and they don't like getting convicted the reality is those brothers were mad because they had not given don't you let somebody else talk you out of what god is asking you to do what i've learned is that whenever i have a radical generosity my enemies can't handle it whether it's my money or my praise whether it's my service or my time right now if you get up in your living room and begin to give god praise somebody's gonna still be mad if you're sitting in this room and you begin to give god praise somebody's gonna still be mad you know why because they had the same opportunity that you had but they didn't appreciate who god was at the level you did these brothers get mad because how dare she come in here and give away something oh god proverbs 16 7 says when people lies please the lord even their enemies are at peace with them let me tell you what to do you got a crazy boss become a radical giver watch god deal with your boss your spouse always want to fuss and fight become a radical giver and watch god silence your spouse you got family members that are always lying on you be a radical giver and watch god deal with family members radical generosity declares endurance generosity distracts enemies but watch this radical generosity demands evidence oh god y'all better come get me today in order to really understand the story you can't just read it minister darling you got to put yourself in the ladies position this is what i believe she does this is better than a lifetime movie [Music] the sister breaks open her alabaster box pours the oil on jesus and then steps back [Music] let me see what's gonna happen you missed it the sister comes in there breaks open the alabaster box ministers to her savior and then jumps back and say okay y'all still missing the turn let's go old school [Music] you cannot beat god given no matter how you try the more [Music] you give to him the more that's old song maybe some of y'all too young when you would hear the old saints saying you can't be god-given so the sister says it's impossible [Music] for me to give to him at this level and me not to see evidence based upon my gift because radical generosity is my way of putting a demand on god for god to give evidence based upon my gift oh god you just missed it so listen to what happens the woman gives and then in verse 30 to 48 she gets a response to her giving let me go there let me go there let me go there stop thinking that the only way god is gonna respond to your giving is with money and stuff [Music] oh god help me stop giving thinking now he gonna give me a new car stop giving thinking now i'm gonna get a new job stop giving thinking that's how i'm gonna get my new house what i suggest you do when you are radical in your giving is you give and leave it blank okay why why bishop because his ways are not our ways his thoughts are higher than our thoughts once you name what your evidence is going to be [Music] you then prevent god from doing exceedingly abundantly above whatever you can think of god i feel like lifting you up right here the woman gives and what god dropped on me dr angie is that whenever you give radically i start by providing evidence where your greatest need is [Music] oh god okay bishop i don't understand what i've learned is god knows me so well that he's like i'm gonna always meet your greatest need before i do all this other stuff it's in verse 48. it says then jesus said to the woman your sins are forgiven okay y'all just missed the term y'all like no god i need a navigator ain't no need to have no new lincoln without some peace god i need a new house ain't no need to get a new house and not have some joy he's like let me get your mind right so that when you get the car you can ride with a lean let me get your heart right so that when you get in the house you can walk around the house celebrating who i am god we demand evidence evidence that you steal king of kings evidence that you steal lord of lords evidence that you still i am that i am evidence that you are still a healer evidence that you are still a deliverer evidence break up crack pipes get rid of reefer god right now we demand evidence i gotta go [Music] radical [Music] generosity always declares endurance distracts enemies [Music] demands evidence oh somebody ought to be ready to scream right there but then lastly radical generosity always [Music] displays evolution whoa oh god now i know in the body of christ we don't like the word evolution but i'm not talking about the creation story i'm talking about my journey the reason why i give radically is because luke 37 is not just about this woman when kim brown from pete town heard he was eating there kim brown brought a beautiful alabaster jar filled with expensive perfume i want you to know she's not the only woman that had a whole lot of sins i was sinking [Music] deep in sin far from the peaceful shore very deeply staying with him sinking to rise no more but the master of the sea heard my despairing crime from the water he lifted me now every chance i get wherever he is here it is even if he's not in this field where am i here it is i'm breaking open my praise i'm breaking over my finances i'm breaking open my heart because i don't look like who i used to look like i'm evolving baby i looked at my hands my hands look new if any man be in christ he is evolving let me tell you what sanctification is sanctification is not this sanctification is slowly but surely me becoming more like christ days by day if you're involved if you know god is working on you if you know god is growing if you know god is changing then i challenge you be a radical giver so that you can display your evolution text says when a certain immoral woman from that city [Music] i'm not perfect but i'm involved it's a theological concept be patient with me god not through with me when god gets through with me i shall come forth that's true gold it doesn't say i am pure gold but he's working on me i'm a lot better than i used to be and that's why when every time i think about who i used to be what i used to do whatever i got i gotta break it open because it displays evolution look i promise you i've given you the best i had today [Music] god is looking for people that will be radical in their generosity because it shows that he's not wasting his grace on me wherever you are around the world if you desire to accept jesus as your savior all you got to do is text the word except to 71441 if you desire to rededicate your life to christ all you got to do is text the word restart to 71441 and if you desire to become a part we don't call them members because this is a partnership there's something we're going to bring to your life but it's something that your life should bring to the fellowship this is not a club clubs have membership the body has partners so if you desire to be a part of this church yesterday we had new partners academy we had people from georgia people from everywhere are connecting you can connect wherever you are i promise you that pastor john bremen myself will serve you regardless of the geographical boundaries of your context all you've got to do is text mount up to 71441 never forget that god's looking for people that have a radical generosity now unto him who is able to keep us involved present us faultless before the throne of god to the only almighty god the glory majestic dominion and power i declare you are blessed in the city blessed in the field blessed when you come and bless when you go in jesus name stay tuned for next generation with our young people and our children i'll see you right back

during this series bing bing bing you got it money money money money money you hear that look listen let's listen that quiet look we gonna hit that money money money money and y'all know how to follow directions y'all saw how i threw that to y'all y'all just oh y'all killed it y'all killed it i love it all right so look um being that uh our goal is to help you all at this age to conquer finances so we're just gonna have a good conversation about money and see where it lands us right so i remember being y'all age and i tricked up my money i ain't ain't ain't gonna fight when i was your age i tricked up my money with my first job right um when i first started working i wasn't really i didn't have the concept of money you know young people we understand we don't necessarily fully grasp the concept of what we're supposed to do with money and that's what i did i tricked mine up uh so uh one thing that i was taught is the principle of tithing we were taught the principle of tithing and i know for a fact that tithing works tithing works so today's topic today is secure the bag secured the bag secure the bag so so put it in the chat put in the chat secure the bag type it up secure the bag so in talking about securing the bag what does it mean to secure the bag means to get your money get your get your money right okay always have it get your money right it means to save it up so that you can get whatever you need in your life okay listen there brother it's it's important to save it up i love it i love it what else what don't just spend it on things that you feel like would be a necessity but spend it on things that you know that you need to spend it on okay all right cool so i love it i love it all right so um so we securing the bag today so do you currently have a job yes yes all right where do you work at uh i work at the food lion like across from our apartment okay where we live where you work at i work at hardy's hearties bro that was my first job well you work at hardy's oh so y'all oh cause y'all twins y'all had to go get the same job y'all so so do y'all work the same shift pretty much no same schedule no no okay look well my first job was hardest man this is exciting yeah yeah that's why that's why we click yo that's why we click i would still be as hard as the day if they paid a little bit more yeah yeah yeah speaking of how was that person matter of fact i was doing so well at hardiness at a young age i got an opportunity to be included in the uh employee handbook so when you have you know how you have orientation i went and took professional pictures and i was in the book with my uniform on they gave me a fresh uniform i used to make the chicken so i had flour all on my old uniform so they gave me a new one they were like you can't not wear that one for pictures i didn't get paid for that but um uh they've been using my face ever since i don't know if y'all y'all still got orientation and all that stuff yes sir okay so i i wonder am i still in the book you didn't see it i didn't see it like i was a young lad back then i was a young guy so you might see it all right so um i can't well i said it was my first job but my first job was actually cutting grass me and my brother been cutting grass since we was nine on 10 years old so i actually been securing the bag for quite some time i just didn't start at 16 at 9 or 10. uh we we started that so today we'll be talking about stewardship so you know wrapped up in talking about uh securing the bag we're going to talk about stewardship and stewardship means the job of supervising or taking care of something such as an organization or property all right so now if we want to talk about stewardship and to make it biblical we're going to bring it into where we are right so as christians as believers we believe in one god and we believe that god created all things in earth right and we believe as stewards that we are supposed to take care of everything that god has for us everything that god placed here that is our job our main goal is to take care of everything here on earth so we're going to jump right into it stewardship and securing it back right so psalms 24 and 1. first scripture in psalms 24 1 we'll be reading the new living translation and it reads says this the earth is the lord's and everything in it the world and all its people belong to him the first point is everything belongs to god everything belongs to god that is the first point everything belongs to god the first point all right so um the scripture says the earth is the lord's and everything in it the world and all its people belong to him he owns it all he owns it all he owns us he owned the job he owned the money he owned everything right and it's no way that we could do anything to take the ownership away from god for real so we don't want to forget that if we keep the concept in order to secure the bag you have to know that it belongs to god now i know some of y'all probably got confused just then i probably lost somebody in the chat y'all was like hold on wait a minute how am i securing a bag that don't belong to me i know some of y'all are asking that question like how in the world uh can i secure it you just told me it belong to god well i believe that you can still secure the bag as long as you steward it well right right so god gave it to us god gave us the capabilities the resources he gave us everything we need in order to secure the bag right so in securing that bag if we steward it well then hey i think we're good to go we still secure the bag in the lord right so so i believe that you can still still uh secure the bag if you so so how do y'all feel how what is one way that you could secure the bag and steward it so say fancy if you're saying that you're gonna stool you're gonna secure the bag but it's not yours how do you secure the bag you gotta make sure you uh god gets his cut of the money hold on oh y'all good hold on y'all jumping ahead now hold on wait a minute now wait a minute no but i like that you definitely definitely have to dive and you get so we'll get into that so in securing it you just got to make sure you stood at real right so ain't nothing worse than seeing somebody or letting somebody borrow something and um they return it to you all messed up or it ain't it's got to be the worst ain't nothing worse than letting somebody borrow something and they let somebody else borrow it oh you know what i'm saying that's no good that's no good um so so yes you can secure the back as long as you store it well you got me all right so jumping down to the next scripture and we're gonna jump all over the places for a scripture because everything that we need is right in the bible and i love it i use this opportunity to share that with y'all so first corinthians four verses one through two first corinthians four verse one through two new living translation and it reads is this so look at apollos and me as mere servants of christ who have been put in charge of explaining god's mysteries now a person who is put in charge as a manager must be faithful so while securing the bag you have to that's my second point be a good manager you have to be a good manager that's how you manage your money you got to be able to manage it how how in the world could you secure a bag if you can't manage it you know what i mean so just like apostle paul and apollos we are called to be good managers and to be faithful over what god has entrusted us with right so being a good manager over the back that we secured and while being a good steward is the first what what what is one of the first steps that we got to do you got to tithe you got to tie and what is tithing 10 of either your paycheck or anything sorry ten percent all right i was trying to figure out where you were going with that you said ten percent or no ten percent of yeah yeah so what is another thing that we have to do you also have to give an offering okay definitely definitely you got to give an offer so not only do you have to give an offer right um now what i don't want you to do is mistake your offering for tithe do not take away from your tithe to give an offering right because an offering is above and beyond your type so your tithe is what you're supposed to you have to pay your tithe that is the first thing of being a good manager and being a steward over what god has blessed you with is to pay your tithe give back god his right and then you give an offering what is one of the third things oh you also need to pay yourself also okay so like like an econ they teach us to pay yourself first 10 goes to yourself but i feel like that if you pay yourself first that takes out of the concept of stewardship come on that's sir yes sir so look i don't want you all to say nothing i want to give xavier an opportunity to answer this next thing what else do we do what's others say say it again say it again with your chest bless others you gotta bless others you gotta bless them i've seen you peek over here at my tablet too [Laughter] no you gotta bless others you gotta bless others one thing that i love about this whole financial piece is uh elder valerie brown she wrote a great book it is the miseducation of the christian and she broke that thing down to the 10th degree right she broke it down into percentages and if you all haven't got to go to amazon and get that book quick look look go and get the book now don't wait until you're an adult to get the book you can learn about finances right now and she breaks it down into percentages right so ten percent uh uh you pay your tithes ten percent go to god ten percent you pay yourself that's savings uh ten percent you bless others with and then the other seventy percent you do what live off of it you live off the seventy percent you live off the seventy percent now that is being a good manager over what god has blessed you with so um it's best to learn this stuff now rather than wait until you get to adulthood because bad habits carry over and and how you start is how you finish right so it's very very important that you get a hold of it now it's important i'm telling you i'll never forget when i when i was about y'all age and i i like to give my testimony and tell my story so that it helps other people through it right so when i first got my first job working at hardest i got my first paycheck i had saved up a lot of hours i worked a lot out so it was a big check right so i went we used to have this store in church land called motions i went and bought five pair of shoes wow yeah my first chat you know most people uh get a first fruit to christ and you know bring it to the church yeah i took mine to the shoe store yeah yeah yeah see i'm the oldest of six kids right so my mom didn't buy she my mom and dad didn't buy shoes all year for us we got them at the beginning of the school year mm-hmm christmas time uh-huh and you might have got something for taxes during tax time yeah yeah so so look i wanted to be cool and i want to be fresh so i took my money and went and blew it right uh let's just say i didn't get an opportunity to do to do that with the second chance you know no my momma said hold on wait a minute look i let the first one get away we're gonna reel this on in because you need some responsibility you need to so she ended up giving us some bills so then i had to start paying car insurance yeah so so mama made sure i was a good how much was the car insurance uh and we don't want to talk about it because i still i still feel some type of way about everybody because it was split between me and my brother and we weren't even driving yet but that's a whole nother conversation over here mom we need to talk so the next scripture we're gonna get into is matthew 25 verses 14 through 30. matthew 25 verses 14 through 30 and it's the new living translation so because of time we're not going to read all those verses so look y'all got scared y'all like whoa that's a lot of scriptures we're just going to jump right into it i'm going to paraphrase it right so there was a man that was going on a long trip he called all his servants together and entrusted him with the money that he was uh that he while he was gone so he gave five bags of silver to one and two bags of silver to the other ones right and then this other one he gave one bag of silver to that was the last guy and he divided it all into proportions uh according to their abilities right then he left on his trip he came back after a long trip and called all his servants together right and just to see what they had done with his money one the one that had five bags he doubled his and the one that had two bags also did the same thing he made it flip yeah he made he flipped his money and brought you know it made some interest made some more money now that last one that he only gave one bag too yeah did absolutely nothing with it yeah yeah as a matter of fact he didn't look he he was he knew he was so bad with money bro was like yeah because i know how i do with money i'm going to dig this hole and put it in a hole so that at least when he come back and asked for his money at least i got his money so i can respect the fact that he didn't fumble the bag you know he didn't he didn't fumble it he said look look at least i'm gonna have this when you get back right right so most of the time and hold on so so my man the the guy that gave him the money was hot i mean he was furious he was really really upset right started calling all kind of names and all that stuff right like you he even told him you could have at least put my money in the bank to the point where it would have made some entries or something but instead you just put in the hole and did absolutely nothing with it like he was so upset with him so he ordered them to throw him into utter darkness throw him and get rid of him because this joker here i ain't doing nothing with it now most of the time when you hear this scripture you hear it talking about the talents and the parable of the talents that what you don't do with your talent god will pull it from you and give it to somebody else right right but i want to stay in the context of what the scripture is saying he messed his money up he was not good with his right um so the third point um while securing the bag you got to be accountable be accountable while securing the bank you got to be accountable so let me ask y'all can you be held accountable for your bag yes yes okay all right all right now he gave it to them then once he gave it to them it became their bag right it became their bag so he was expecting them to do what they were supposed to do with it right uh so are you responsible enough to do what is right you have to be i need you to answer this in the chat are you responsible out there are you responsible enough to do what's right i just need to know type it in the chat and let us know can we monitor in the chat too we want you to be involved in on this conversation right so the servant that only had the one bag was not accountable it was not accountable whatsoever do you all think he was accountable no i mean bro just put it now i can i can respect the fact that he put it in the hole and didn't fumble it but he was not accountable right um he didn't even so the key thing about the parable is that it says in the scripture where he gave them what he thought that they can handle uh-huh you know he gave it to him he said look i knew you can handle this so he actually thought the one when he gave him the one bad look i'm gonna give this one back because you should be able to do something with this right so at that point um i what i think about is god does that with us god gives us what we can handle you know what i'm saying he'll give it to us and see what we do it it is up to us at that point to make it make sense right yep you know he's gonna give it to you now but he's gonna give us what how many of us we've all seen people fumble back how many of us know somebody that messed up some money got a lump sum of money and messed it up well how many of us uh uh uh know somebody that messed up an opportunity you know all that fumble in the back if you didn't take advantage of an opportunity you're getting scared being scared to go get what you really want that's it that's it so you got to step up do your thing and do it well you got to step up do your thing and do it well so this brings us into our fourth verse fourth verse and the fourth verse is colossians 3 verses 23 through 24. colossians 3 verse 23 and it says this work willingly at whatever you do as though you were working for the lord rather than for people remember that the lord will give you an inheritance as your reward and that the master you are serving is christ right so my fourth point is receive your reward receive your reward so so check this out just know that if you properly secure your bag and steward it well you will receive your reward you got to know that if you if you do what you're supposed to do god gonna bless you on the back end you know what i'm saying because because remember it don't belong to us anyway so we got to take care of what he let us borrow what he entrusted us with and we're talking about god another another way to put that is would god have given you the bag in the first place if he if he either didn't allow you or didn't trust you with it that's it you're not gonna get look the scripture say he won't put more on you than you can handle right you know what i'm saying so he wouldn't have gave it to you if you didn't so i'm rocking with that thank you for that so if you take care of god's business he'll take care of yours right that's true simple and basic all right so the scare the scripture says work willingly at whatever you do anything whatever you do as though you were working for the lord rather than for people and the lord will give you an inheritance as your reward right so at heart is i started seeing promotions that everybody else didn't see because i was a good steward over what god put me god put me in that position right so i started carrying it like that i started carrying it like you know what i don't work for people because if you put your stuff if you put your mouth if you put your all into people people can let you down yeah people can upset you right so instead of letting people get to you i would flip it mentally and say you know what nah i don't work for these people i work for god just like what you were just saying exactly god put me in position to even have this job right i wouldn't be here if it wasn't for him it wouldn't happen if god didn't allow it that's it that's right so i figured if i carried it like god would wrought would reward my efforts because i was giving all the glory to him that hey i felt like he would reward me for that i felt like i would would be doing the right thing um and and like i just stated i would not have this job if it wasn't for god i wouldn't be able to make this money if it wasn't for god so i started using i started stewarding my stuff better uh according to scripture i said man i can't just go out here and just mess the money up i can't just go out here and you know just throw it all away i gotta start putting some stuff in the right places you know what i mean cause y'all we're speaking about fumbling in the back have you have you all ever followed the back i don't want to be out here by myself you're telling me oh yeah definitely yeah i think all three of us have done it at some point at some point in time we have okay i guess let's go in order of look see this is a family thing so y'all you know y'all live in the same house right yeah y'all all got jobs and you're all fumbled at some point yeah y'all tease each other for fumbling in the bag yes you spent your money on that you know you probably shouldn't have uh so it's not so much when i had my job it was a sweet 16 or some point after that i uh i am the for context i'm the firstborn granddaughter okay both side of the family i'm very spoiled okay and because i'm spoiled i end up getting a lot of money for my birthday the thing is i'm also like really into games and stuff so once i had like at least 300 i spent like a good 100 on a video game okay okay yeah you really threw that yeah you you bumbled that bag yeah 300 you took yeah yeah yeah yeah did you pay tithe off to 300 though i do okay okay yeah you really fumbled about hey isaiah give me one uh make it quick time is ticking well there was one time right i was supposed to like tithe and everything and i just didn't okay and i blew like a hundred two hundred dollars on football stuff that's real yeah and see that's what'll happen if you don't properly steward your money if you don't pay your tithe and do this stuff you'll have a hole in your pocket it will get away from you what i did was the pure definition of blowing the blow in the bag okay i spent nearly 800 solely on game stuff nearly 800. yeah we're going to go and end it on that note because that's a lot of money you can come with a big bag right there all right so stewardship is about using the resources that god has entrusted us with to accomplish the purpose he has for them everything we have from possessions to the abilities uh is a gift from god and it's intended for us to serve a significant purpose all right so remember in order to secure the bag you have to first know everything belongs to god you have to then be a good manager and then you have to be accountable right and then you just know if you properly secure your bag and steward it well you will receive your reward and that's all i got so i hope that helped y'all today look i am excited about what this conversation that took place i hope something was said that you can hang on to out there in the chat just put in the chat put some hearts up and all that stuff if you enjoyed this portion of recharge reload to mount next gen we have a recharge spotlight at

this month we are talking all about money type in the chat what you want to learn or know about money and so if you look at this first slide it's a basketball court and you may be like well you got a basketball court minister elise because money can be related to us playing basketball and you might be saying well how all right well before we bounce on into our lesson let's meet our new guests for the month they're going to tell us their name how old they are and how they think money relates to basketball listening to him go ahead hi hi my name is kennedy somerville i'm 10 years old and how do you think money is related to basketball oh um when you put the ball in the hoop and you score a point it's like scoring money you earn money she all in my notes today all right next who are you sir my name is caleb and i'm eight years old and the way that island basketball is related to money is that when you dribble the ball it goes up and down the prices go up and down my gosh anybody seen the price of gas today i'm trying to tell you praise the lord you children don't have to buy gas but your parents gas is going up it went up 20 cents one day anyway moving on all right who are you today sir i'm my name is car and hiding is my direct to basketball and you bounce the ball to whenever then someone gives you money okay he said you bounce the ball to somebody else and guess what somebody else may give you some money give me a high five card you better do it i love it all right moving on you heard the guests you hear how money relates to basketball so today we're going to talk about two things but before we do that we're going to have prayer by kennedy so go ahead on by your heads for free dear lord thank you for us being able to be on this live show this morning lord get all the evil out of our hearts lord thank you for us being able to wake up and have a wonderful morning lord please let anybody watching this show be blessed by the word today lord let us um have a good day lord and hopefully have a good day tomorrow at school lord jesus name we pray amen amen i know that's right get the evil up out of our hearts lord do it lord all right so let's talk about what is money so what's money money or in my opinion money is like pieces of paper and metal that you use to buy stuff you need and want okay all right what do you think money is sir i think money is a form of metal and paper and i think it's used for goods and services okay awesome job all right so that's exactly what money is we exchange it for goods or services all right now let's go to our playbook which is going to be our bible and let's see how we what we can learn about money today and minister patrick put my whole call all up in my scripture but we're not gonna go there all right let's go matthew 25 14 15 14-15 it says again the kingdom of heaven can be illustrated by the story of a man going on a long trip he called together his servants and entrusted his money to them while he was gone he gave five bags of silver to one two bags of silver to another and one bag of silver to the last dividing it in proportion to their abilities he then left on his trip so the first thing i want you to know about money is that it has value all right the man didn't give all of his servants the same amount of silver he gave some five he gave one two and then he gave one one so money has value all right okay so here we go what what's what's this coin worth a quarter it is a quarter how much does it work 25 cents 25 cents carter what's this it is how much is it worth what it is one it is one dollar all right and then we have this other little silver coin here all right so what's this going a dime not quite close it's bigger than a dime a quarter that was the quarter this right here is a nickel and it's worth how much because i know you know five is worth five cents all right so now i want you to take a trip on down the hallway with miss leah and andre and check out money corners all right so i want you to get up and i want you to play at home too if you don't know the value of the money shown ask your parents or your siblings for some help all right money corn good morning mountaineers i've got andre here with me and we're gonna play a game called money corners i'm gonna put a certain amount of money up here for him to figure out how much it is yep it's a math game he's gotta add it up and then i'm gonna tell him to hop to walk to skip whatever i want to get to the right place and he only has 10 seconds to get there so whatever i tell andre to do i want you to do it at home okay are you ready here's the first one andre gotta come figure out how much money this is 25 cents so i want you to skip to 25 cents okay boys and girls hope you're skipping at home oh god yeah over here all right now you gotta run back all right here we go with the next one how much is that andre a penny so i want you to walk backwards to find the pin oh look a penny good job here is the next one that's a dollar all right i want you to gallop to the dollar alrighty here is your next one i want you to walk to the time [Music] here's another one a nickel i want you to jump to the nickel okay here is another one for you i want you to skip [Music] here is your next one i want you to do jumping jacks [Music] here's the next one i want you to pretend like you're jumping rope boys and girls are you counting at home how much is that andre 25 i want you to walk there we've got one more one two three four five pennies that's like what a nickel it is a nickel good job i want you to skip to my lou till you find the nickel welcome back well how did you do okay so think about basketball based upon where players stand they get a different value of points all right and so players and coaches have to know this so they are able to keep track of how many points they get in order to win the game alright so we have to know the value of money so we can know how much we have to pay for stuff and to make sure nobody cheats us out of our money so the question now is how do you get money all right we're going to start with you carter carter how do you get money from digging you get money from digging okay so sometimes you dig and you find money all right caleb how do you get money by working by working how do you get money by doing my chores without being asked i love her point she said do your chores without being asked so our second point is the money is earned so we're gonna go back to our playbook and we're gonna look back at that verse but we're only gonna look at verse 15 and it says he gave five bags of silver to one two bags of silver to another and one bag of silver to the last dividing it in proportion to their abilities then he left on his trip so the second thing i want you all to know is money is earned our playbook says he divided the bags in proportion to their abilities so their abilities can be how well they serve how well they work or how well they could be trusted they did something right to hold the money look at the cat and they had bringing in money for doing stuff all right so remember how do you earn money they told us how they earn money the basketball players earn points how do they earn points by making shots and we earn money by they earn money just for being on the show i earned she earns money by doing her chores without being asked don't forget that's an important key there all right she has to be asked she doesn't get her money he earned his money by working he said he just go on the treasure hunt and he did and he might find him some money so maybe you get money by making good grades all right i'm the children's pastor and guess what i love my job and i get paid for it that's the ad bonus all right so let's review first point money has value money has value the second point is money is what are we told it's what you know you know money is what what's our second point help them out kennedy money is earned money is earned what is it money is earned i love it all right so money has value money is earned all right so think about don't forget our basketball player so remember they have to know where to stand in order to know the value of the shot that they're shooting all right and then that helps them to be able to know how many points they're gonna get and that helps them to be able to win the game all right so we're going to pray real quick so let's buy our hands lord thank you for blessing my parents and providing them with the job lord thank you for providing our needs and some of our wants lord speak to us about what you would like us to do in order to earn money and help us to be able to value the money that you bless us with in jesus name we pray amen well i want to thank my guests for joining me today and we're going to see you all back again next week and we want you all to enjoy the rest of the cat and the hat and then get ready for our affirmation love you all see you all next week and sally and i did not know what to do so we had to shake hands within one and thing two we shook their two hands but our fish said no no those things should not be in this house make them go they should not be here when your mother is out put them out put them out said the fish in the pot [Music] have no fear little fish said the cat in the hat these things are good things and he gave them a pack they are tame oh so tame they have come here to play they will give you some fun on this wet wet wet day [Music] now here is a gate that they likes in the cat they like to fly kites said the cat in the hat no not in this house said the fish in the pot they should not like heights in a house they should not owe the things they will bump all the things they will hit oh i do not like it not one little bit then sally and i saw them run down the hall we saw those two things bug their kites on the wall both dump the bump down the hall on the wall then two and thing one they ran up they ran down on a string of one kite we saw mother's new gown her gown with the dots that are pink white and red then we saw one kite book on the head of her bed [Music] then those things ran about with big bumps jumps and kicks with hops and big thumps and all kinds of bad drinks and i said i do not like the way that they play if mother could see this oh what would she say [Music] then our fish said look look and our fish shook with fear your mother is on her way home do you hear or what will she do to us what will she say oh she will not like it to find us this way so do something fast in the fish do you hear i saw her your mother your mother is here so as fast as you can think of something to do you will have to get rid of thing one and thing two so as fast as i could i went after my neck and i said with my neck i could get to my back i bet without with my neck i can get those things yet [Music] then i let down my neck it came down with a plop and i had them at last those two things had to stop then i said to the cat now you do as i say you pack up those things and you take them away oh dear said the cat you did not like our game oh dear what a shame what a shame what a shame [Music] then he shut up the things in the box with the hook and the cat went away with a sad kind of look this is good said the fish he has gone away yes but your mother will come and she will find this big mess and this mess is so big so deep and so tall we cannot pick it up there is no way at all [Music] and then who was back in the house why the cat have no fear of this mess and the cat in the hat i always pick up all my play things and so i will show you another good trick that i know then we saw him pick up all the things that were down he picked up the cake and the rake and the gown and the milk and the strings and the books and the dish and the fans and the cup and the ship and the fish and he put them away then he said that is that and then he was gone with a tip of his hat then our mother came in and she said to us too did you have any fun tell me what did you do and sally and i did not know what to say should we tell her the things that went on there that day should we tell her about it now what should we do well what would you do if your mother asked you hey hey hey okay [Music] [Music] [Music] the year of production i boldly and faithfully declare that this is the

7 luke chapter 7 luke chapter 7. we're going to read two verses but we're going to minister through the whole story luke chapter 7 starting with verse 36 one of the pharisees asked jesus to have dinner with him so jesus went to his home and sat down to eat watch this when a certain immoral woman from that city heard he was eating there she brought a beautiful alabaster jar filled with expensive perfume beloved my assignment today same subject from eight o'clock i want to minister to you from the subject um radical generosity can you just put that in the chat put that put some shoot some hearts in fact do my favorite wake somebody up let them know bishop is on mount and chesapeake mount virtual is on don't rob them of this opportunity radical generosity god i pray for anointing that will enable me to make the word speak clearly i claim authority to share the gospel this day and i believe that our lives will never be the same after hearing the word of god consecrate me freshly now claim that authority in jesus name amen radical radical generosity sister monica in columbia south carolina this morning um this morning you heard me allude to a story that i'm privileged to be able to sit on the board at my university norfolk state university graduated by the grace of god and now look at god um god has a funny way of taking the foolish things to confound the wise the young man that barely got the privilege of walking across the stage pastor fergie now sits on the board in fact is the secretary of the board this is what's so crazy minister chris as a secretary of the board now whenever we're making transactions happen i am the one watch this dr angie i am the one who signs all official documents binding the university so here's what's so amazing stay with me i'm going somewhere the young man that graduated not magna laude and not summa lord and not lauded but graduated thank you lordy i graduated truly by the grace of god and until my daughter had um brought it to my attention i didn't realize that at the december graduation every diploma that a young person received minister euless who walked across the stage had two signatures on it y'all better come get me i'm getting ready to run myself one signature was the president of the university the other signature was a little boy from p-town named kim w brown in it only like god to be able to take somebody who graduates by grace and then allows them to mature into life to the point that everybody has my signature on their diploma okay watch this so so i alluded to the fact at eight o'clock that i was sitting in a board meeting about a year ago and dr j gets a phone call our illustrious president of the university i'm going somewhere stay with me it's not a remix so she gets up from the board meeting goes out to take a phone call and when she comes back in all of us have been wondering what kind of phone call would be so important that she would suspend the board meeting well when she comes back in she affirms that the beautiful sister mackenzie scott has decided to give the university 40 million dollars now here's what's so interesting about that prior to that gift the endowment of the university was 39 million dollars what's so amazing about that though pastor furby is i thought it was a deja vu moment because many of you are aware that i not only sit on the board at norfolk state but i sit on the board at elizabeth city state university it was two weeks earlier that i had been sitting in a board meeting at elizabeth city when the same kind of moment happens and chancellor comes in to declare that sister scott miscot has given billionaire scott has given 30 million dollars to elizabeth city state university so can you imagine how i'm sitting there and they watch don't you no come on i see you go ahead and put in the chat shoot some hearts right there i told them at eight o'clock today that this is the new shout in the virtual church pick them up put them down just keep hitting that heart button and so the reality is doctor andrew you know a brother got some issues got some issues so pastor furby in the back of my mind i really started to think okay let me go a step further what you all might not know is that the rector i'm going somewhere i promise you director at virginia state is my lovely wife elder valerie k brown and the reality is miss scott also gave virginia state a significant amount of millions of dollars well you know you ain't got to be rocket science to figure this out that i started to sit there and say hold on my boo is at virginia state i'm at elizabeth city state i'm at norfolk state there might be some favor on me okay i know y'all y'all won't gonna handle that but that's all right see if you can't encourage yourself stop waiting for somebody else to encourage i'm going somewhere but here's what's amazing after seeing the benevolence the radical generosity of this woman because as far as i know watch this here's what's crazy she has never been on the campus of virginia state college university she has never been on the campus of norfolk state college university she has never been on the campus of elizabeth city state university and yet she gave what is over 100 million dollars between those three schools never been on the campus i'm talking to somebody right now that's watching us that has never been in this building um you know i'm gonna leave that alone never been on the campus never been on the campus but i'm gonna leave that alone and so i sat there dr andrew here's where i want to go and then i'll jump into my four little points and i'll be out of your way i started to say god what is it what is it what is it that causes you to be able to prosper somebody to the point that they can just write a 40 million dollar check what is it see see you're sitting there you ought to be right now you ought to be in your kitchen saying god i want to know that answer god god can you help me i want to know that answer see you so busy wallowing in your low self-esteem that you think that god can't do it for you but i started asking i started asking i said god what does it take to be able to be the person that you can tell just write a 30 million dollar check what does it take to be the person that you can tell to write a 40 million dollar check and i i won't read it for the answer y'all probably not ready for the answer anyway so go ahead and shoot me some pre-answer hearts go ahead and shoot me some pre-answer hearts because you might not want to hit another heart after i tell you the reason because i know it's your sanctified self you think it was prayer life he didn't tell me the person had to be able to pray good i know you sitting there saying where the person needed to fast he mentioned nothing about turning your plate down as the old saints say and so he started i said god it must be they were serving i said and he said well how can it be that when she's never even been to the campus he says so you know it ain't about service he said it's all the stuff that y'all in church have made the things that really caused me to move but that ain't what causes me to position somebody god you better come get your boy because i feel like i'm gonna help somebody i said god don't keep holding holding back on me will you tell me he said it's really simple i just need to know i can trust you okay i know i knew you weren't gonna be able to say amen right there i said well god i got saints that i can trust he said he said no no let me tell you he said right now i got a whole lot of people that are saying god if you ever blessed me i promise you i'll i'll do what you ask me he said i want you to understand they the same folk that won't give me a tie if they won't give me ten cent out of a dollar if they won't give me a dollar out of ten dollars if they won't give me ten dollars out of a hundred dollars if they won't give me a hundred dollars out of a thousand dollars if they won't give me a thousand dollars out of ten thousand dollars if they won't give me ten thousand dollars out of a hundred thousand dollars if they won't give me a hundred thousand dollars out of a million dollars if they won't give me a million dollars out of ten million dollars then what in the world makes you think that if i rolled 300 million in their life that they would be able to bring he said there are some people i need you to get up go ahead and put in there right now i see you i see you all the way in delaware put it in the chat god i promise you you can trust me i got word for you god told me to tell you it's not what you say is what you do you've already proven whether god can trust you or not don't jump on the trust me board today because i'm preaching on generosity god said you have already proven one way or another whether i can trust you with more you have not listened to scripture i got a revelation pastor forever he said if y'all have been paying attention it's been a test all the time he said listen to what i say if you are faithful over a few things i'll make you a ruler over much he said in order for me to put you in position where you can give more you've got to prove that you've been able to handle what i've already been able to give you okay watch this i'm gonna go all in i got about 17 minutes here's what's so amazing when i started to look at this woman in the story put yourself in a story and stop being you know so spiritual sister girl rolls in minister chris unannounced there is no offertory period in the text pastor furby ain't no ushers passing the plate ain't no marching music they're not marching around to the table nobody has said that this is the portion of service that we can all participate in it's not even a given moment and the sister gets up walks over to jesus breaks open what the text says is an expensive box of perfume and pours it on jesus radical generosity so i said okay god what is it that radical generosity releases watch this here it is sister natasha all the way in costa rica costa rica in the house watch this generosity pastor furby you might need to come get me because i feel like i'm a run like my my young minister watch this right here troy radical generosity always recognizes grace [Music] okay see if i can show it to you look at verse 47 they start talking about the lady listen to how they articulate who she is he says i tell you her sins hyphen and they are many hyphens have been forgiven okay y'all mr shout cue y'all mr shelter you still trying to scramble them eggs girlfriend i need to tell you them eggs gonna burn if you stay connected to this sermon you might want to cut the eye off and move the pan over and eat after i finish preaching because what i've learned is every now and then i come in church and i have already said all i'm giving is this amount today that's all i'm gonna give today and then i get in the presence of god and i start to reflect on how many times i disappointed him how many times i didn't do what he wanted me to do how many times he asked me to do one thing and i went another way how many times i'm glad god can keep a secret and you don't know some of my story as transparent as you think i am there is never gonna be a day when i'm gonna tell you everything about me elder or the family because there are some things i'm taking to my grave god i feel like lifting you up right now and when i think about the fact that in spite of who i am and what i haven't done and how i've messed up that god still provide this morning when i got up i still had some bacon and some eggs this morning when i got up i still had water and some toothpaste this morning when i got up i still had to decide which color suit i was gonna wear and which pair of shoes i was gonna put on my feet i had to go to a sock drawer when i didn't always have a sock drawer i didn't always have a sock drawer for my white socks and a sock drawer for my ankle length socks and a sock drawer for my church socks and you want to know why i give i give because it's my way of recognizing it's the grace of god and do i have anybody in here we got some door keepers and some greeters in here anybody in here you ready to give because you know the reason you still alive ain't got nothing to do with how good you are it's grace baby the reason why you got something to drive is not because of how intelligent you are it's grace that you gotta call it's grace that you didn't get killed it's grace that kobe didn't take you out the woman gets in there and says with all my sins i still get to be in the presence of god can i get somebody around the world to just stand up in your kitchen stand up in your bedroom and say god i'm not thanking you for my call i'm not thanking you for my health i'm thanking you for grace grace i said romans 5 8 says but god showed his great love for us by sending christ to die for us wow we were yet sinners i don't know about you but i'ma go ahead and say this i just don't believe you can walk back in this building after being out for two years still got your house still got your car and give god five dollars i just don't believe it i just don't believe when i look at the last two years and i think about how my grandbaby has had covert and still here starting to talk now my son has had covert my other grandson has had covert when i start to think about there is nothing more humbling than the whole family lining up at the doctor and you watching the grandbaby that's months old have to tolerate them sticking something up her nostril and other people are gone and yet oh we still here god when i break open my alabaster box it's because i'm recognizing it was grace that kept me i don't deserve to be here i should not be here okay i gotta move so watch this radical generosity recognizes grace but then the second thing check this out pastor favorite radical generosity not only recognizes grace but it reflects growth okay i was talking to minister chris in between worship experiences this and he didn't even know he this is my second point he said he was in eight o'clock service and god said to him don't even think about bringing me this year what you gave me last year can somebody shoot i feel like we heart deficient right now so sister alicia from new york sister glass can you shoot some hearts for me right there sister sister oh my god winston langham from spain can you put some hearts in the chat right now because i know some people can't can't heart it up right now put some prayer claps in the chat because what i've learned is let's go back to the scripture and jesus said to the woman this verse 50. stay with me how do you reconcile this minister eulessie says the woman's faith saved her okay hold on hold on god i feel your glory in the room god i feel your glory in the room this the same woman that they call immoral chris they call her immoral says she got more sins than you can number but jesus said girlfriend your faith major okay the problem is jesus never sees us the way everybody else sees us this woman starts to operate by faith so what happens is okay um gotta go i am not sanctified [Music] i am being sanctified sanctification is not this that's dancing in the spirit in fact depending on the context that you're in this is not dancing in the spirit everywhere if you're in the right context it's dancing in the spirit if you at the party you ain't dancing in the spirit but stay with me sanctification is this [Music] yo y'all yo we heard people say this before i'm not who i'm supposed to be but i'm not who i used to be that's what sanctification is sanctification is a fancy theological precept to articulate growth so i want to suggest to you that what happens is okay remember at eight o'clock i suggested that the reason why the pharisee knew how expensive the perfume was is because maybe he was the man that had given it to the woman took a little license there because history suggests that the woman's issue was man [Music] slow class pastor ferb slow class online watch this the woman has had an issue with men folk the woman has had an issue with me and folk i'm gonna say it one time for those people that had the volume down low on their device the woman has had an issue with menfolk now she's in an environment with all men and the issue that she usually would wrestle with she's not wrestling with anymore oh god i don't know if you feel like i feel but the moment that you step into something and you start to recognize that the demons that used to hold you no longer hold you anymore you remember when it folks said the right thing to you you would go to slapping and cussing and now you respond different you react different which is a sign that i'm growing i'm growing i'm growing when you realize you're growing you'll break open your alabaster box and give god everything you got i don't know who needs to hear this but when i give to god it's a sign that i'm acknowledging that the demons that used to hold me back the struggles that used to hold me in bondage no longer hold me in bondage that's why he says woman you've grown some now your faith has made you whole i love second timothy chapter five because it really helps us he says work hard so you can present yourself to god and receive his approval when i become a radical giver when my generosity gets radical it's because i'm not trying to impress you i'm trying to get god's approval i want to let god know i've grown watch this radical generosity recognizes grace radical generosity reflects growth kendrick check this out radical generosity releases guidance okay got two claps in the room can i get three hearts online i'm talking to you you've been asking god for answers it's going to take a little bit more than just prayer i know you didn't want to hear that you've been asking god for direction no matter how much you keep oiling your head up it's gonna take a little bit more than just the oil you've been asking god for some wisdom it doesn't matter how many days you starve yourself faith without works is dead this woman was looking for god to say something and the way she provokes jesus to say something is by breaking open that alabaster box and gives radically watch this have y'all ever noticed have you ever noticed that as soon as the woman opens up the alabaster box [Music] listen to jesus the text says in verse four and then jesus answered his thoughts pastor furby i'm going to mess somebody up because church has taught you that this is how you get god to open his mouth church has taught you that this is how you get god to open his mouth i'm not denying that but sometimes if you want god to open his mouth the best way to get god to start talking is to bring what you have and to god i'd rather be broke with a word than have money and no revelation i just said something i just said something i'd rather give you everything i got and know what's on your mind than to have money in my pocket and not know what god is thinking verse 40 says then jesus answered his thoughts i love this doctor i have to watch this minister ulysses says simon he said to the pharisees here's what i want to hear from god i have something to say could it be the reason why god hasn't spoken to you don't have anything to do with kim brown don't have anything to do with coding doesn't have anything to do with the fact that you ain't been able to get in the building maybe it's got more to do with the way you handle the resources that god gave you maybe god will become a blabber mouth when you become a bigger giver maybe god will have more guidance for you when you start to break open your alabaster box because when i start to give to god when i become radical in my generosity number one it is a response that i'm recognizing grace number two it's a statement that's reflecting my growth chris watts is number three i'm expecting god to release guidance proverbs 3 and 5 proves it trust in the lord with all your heart in all your ways acknowledge him and he will direct your path but watch this i'm getting ready to get out of here i believe that when you and i become radical in our generosity not only does it recognize grace not only does it reflect growth not only does it release guidance but it y'all ready shout you on the way it records a guarantee oh i wish i had three believers around the world come on sister rosie in columbus ohio get up come on sister helen in philadelphia god has made you some promises and when i show god my response to his promise by becoming radical in my giving then i record a guarantee i can show it to you jesus says in verse 50 your faith has saved you [Music] go in peace that's all i got for you go in peace you want something deep that's all i got go in peace you want me to fall out and speak in tongues all i got is go in peace maybe you'll sleep all night without appeal if you become a radical giver maybe you won't be consumed with worry if you become a radical giver maybe you won't be consumed by what people say about you if you become a radical giver because radical givers sleep all night radical givers walk through the valley in the shadow of death and they fear no evil i need somebody to stand up and declare god i'm gonna start being radical with my giving i'm getting ready to get out of here whoa god romans 8 28 says and we know that god causes everything to work together for the good of those who love god and are called according to his purpose for them if you follow me on twitter i'm gonna be a little transparent dr angie give the invitation this way if you follow me on twitter this week pastor furby i was at the gas pump filling up that ford f-150 and it was almost empty sister shannon [Music] some of y'all not old enough to remember when you would go to the gas pump and it had a bale every time a gallon went in it'd go ding ding ding well they got rid of the bell because the bale was depressing ooh god i feel your presence helped me to get through this so the other day i'm pumping gas in that big v8 pickup truck minister earl the gas bill was so high that the credit card company sent an alert to elders somebody is at the same level and they just popped almost 80 worth of gas [Music] we want to know is this you i was this close [Music] to telling elder i ain't been to the gas pump deny that charge oh god i'm getting preached myself happy i started complaining to god god said well look at where i brought you from [Music] i said what do you mean god he said you ain't pulled the back seat out you get no change he said don't you remember when you were going to the gas pump and you would be buying two dollars and 68 cent worth of gas because you had found 68 cents i was at the 7-eleven the person on the next island started looking at me crazy i said god i just want to thank god i just want to thank you god i just want to thank you god i just want to thank you and before i could finish praising god he said yeah that's good he said yeah that little thank you thanks you're giving me is good he said but if you really want to thank me i got an assignment for you i said what is it god he said one of your seniors just got a new truck i want you to go over there to the right age and buy enough gas cards that she can get gas for the whole year oh god i gotta go i said okay god let me run back up to the church and get the church's credit card he said hold on i didn't ask the mount to do this i'm asking you to do this i said god do you know how much it's gonna cost to buy gas for a year he said [Music] [Applause] next month i hope you don't have to take the seat out of a car [Music] he said cause you know it's only about grace he said this month you had 80 dollars next month you might not you said i'm asking you to be a radical giver i said yes sir [Music] look watch this i promise your mouth chris i didn't know people be scamming people in the right age with gift cards so i went in the rite aid got a stack of gift cards went up to the cash register and the lady said you doing all of them i said yes ma'am she said i've never done that many so i got the call for the manager she said we need a manager at the cash register someone's trying to buy a whole lot of gift card now you got people coming out from the pharmacy i'm standing up there with a handful of gift cards the manager comes up and she says sir i've got to ask you this is somebody in the parking lot forcing you to do this [Music] i said that's a strange question she said well the only time we ever see people getting this many gas cards or gift cards is when somebody's in the parking lot forcing them to come in and get the cars i said no ma'am i'm doing it and then god said tell her what you're doing i said no ma'am i gotta see you at my church and i'm just trying to make sure she got enough gas for the whole year the lady says so you buying these to give them away i said yes ma'am she said bless you the lord said there's your return y'all just missed the shout cute he said you so busy discounting her so she said well i can't ring them all up at one time because the cash register will kick him out she said so we gonna do two at a time if that's okay i said yes ma'am she's sitting there and you can tell god dealing with her minister earl i get my little bag and get ready to go out the door and then it hit me god i feel like i'm getting ready to lift you up she said excuse me mister where is your church i said the one right down the street found the mcdonald's come on maybe one day you'll get some gift cards now watch this i roll up to the seniors house you're gonna see the video soon the senior starts worshiping the senior stars i said i heard that you got a vehicle i said well this gas card can put some gas in your car this money i said but we want you to have gas next month and we want you to have gas next month and we want you to have guests what is it that god is asking you to be radical about [Music] that's what i leave you with today i know the story took me over time [Music] but i'm talking to you right now god has been too good to you for you not to have a radical generosity [Music] don't insult god by doing what you've already done you don't want god backing up in his grace morning by morning new mercies i see real quick three invitations and i'm out i promise you invitation number one is to accept the lord as your savior if you desire to accept the lord and your savior around the world all you've got to do is text the word except to 71441 if you desire to rededicate your life to christ ask god to start fresh with you all you got to do is text the word restart to 71441 and if you desire to become a part of what i believe is one of the most amazing churches that god has on the earth i tell people all the time find the church better than this you're going to go to heaven because i believe we're one of the best that god has not because i'm the leader but because of the saints that god has blessed to fellowship here if you want to be a part of that whether virtually or tangibly all you got to do is text the word mount up to 71441 i'm out of time but i'm not out of word we'll see you next sunday until then please note now unto him who is able to keep us from falling present us faultless before the throne of god to the only almighty god be glory and majesty dominion and power i call you blessed in the city blessed in the field bless when you come and bless when you go in jesus name [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Music] so [Music] [Applause] so [Music] [Music] [Music] come on come on [Music] [Music] [Music] i mean i mean from
