00:00:02,120 --> 00:00:04,480
Hey, welcome to the City Point 
Church podcast. 

2
00:00:04,480 --> 00:00:07,280
Thanks for joining us. 
Every day is an opportunity to 

3
00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,280
take hold of. 
So we hope this message inspires

4
00:00:10,280 --> 00:00:13,560
you and build your faith that it
helps you have more of a God 

5
00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:15,880
perspective for your day. 
Enjoy. 

6
00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:19,920
Is there faith in your bones 
this morning? 

7
00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:22,520
Could you declare out loud 
today? 

8
00:00:22,520 --> 00:00:31,640
My heart is open, my ears are 
alert to grow and change and 

9
00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:35,200
never be the same. 
Amen. 

10
00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:41,880
Amen. 
Once you be seated and today's 

11
00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:45,960
message, you know it's Father's 
Day and I love the honor to be 

12
00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:49,120
able to speak into the the lives
of the fathers of the house. 

13
00:00:49,480 --> 00:00:52,400
And I'm pretty experienced in 
this realm. 

14
00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:59,680
So it is worth listening and, 
and, and, but today's message 

15
00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:02,440
isn't just for fathers. 
Like everyone's going to get 

16
00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:05,960
something from it. 
I've got, I've got 3 points and,

17
00:01:05,960 --> 00:01:10,560
and three tips today for 
everyone and for you to take 

18
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:15,160
home and have conversations in 
the cafe after the service. 

19
00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:19,840
But mums of the house, women, 
man of the house, youth, young 

20
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:24,480
adults in the house, kids in the
house, you've got something to 

21
00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:30,360
listen and lean into today. 
And before we get around our key

22
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:35,120
scripture with which is in the 
book of Deuteronomy and the last

23
00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:41,040
book of the Torah and the 5th 
book of the Bible, Deuteronomy 

24
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:45,760
6, if you want to open your 
Bible to chapter 6 of that, I 

25
00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:47,240
just want to give you some 
context. 

26
00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:51,240
Now in your Holy Scriptures, the
book of Deuteronomy was written 

27
00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:55,640
when Israel was on the opposite 
side of the Jordan to the 

28
00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:59,240
promised Land. 
So Israel's on this side of the 

29
00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:02,760
Jordan. 
They've won a few battles and 

30
00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:07,320
they're about to crossover into 
the promised land that they've 

31
00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:09,759
been walking towards for 40 
years. 

32
00:02:11,039 --> 00:02:14,760
And I don't know if you've ever 
had promises in your life from 

33
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:18,120
God or you've read the 
scriptures and it's like the 

34
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:21,840
scriptures have spoken to you 
about your, your future, you, 

35
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:24,520
your, your destiny, your life, 
your purpose. 

36
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:28,520
And it feels like you've been 
going around the desert for 40 

37
00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:31,360
years. 
Let me tell you, the purpose of 

38
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:36,520
that is, is your learning, It's 
your, it's your sacrificing, 

39
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:40,880
it's your surrender. 
And because God had, when God 

40
00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:45,440
has something greater for your 
life than where you are now, the

41
00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:48,680
same, you can't go into the 
greater realm. 

42
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:53,120
And so God needs to prepare us 
and mold us and shape us. 

43
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:55,840
And this is done through 
surrender. 

44
00:02:56,320 --> 00:03:00,760
And so the more Israel was able 
to surrender of themselves, 

45
00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:04,800
their desires, their their 
wishes and wants and of the 

46
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:09,280
things of the past, OK, the the 
more they were able to do that, 

47
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:11,680
the closer they got to their 
promised land. 

48
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:16,600
Now here we are on the opposite 
side, just opposite Jericho. 

49
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:19,240
Do we all remember the story 
about Jericho? 

50
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:22,640
They marched around the walls 
and the walls foot fell down. 

51
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:27,040
Well, that was the first city 
that Israel talked when they 

52
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:31,400
entered the promised land. 
So here we are before they do 

53
00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:34,240
this. 
And Moses delivered his feet, 

54
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:39,080
farewell speeches. 
He delivered and reiterated 

55
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:44,000
God's law to the new generation 
of Israel. 

56
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:47,160
And this is where we pick up 
today's text in general 

57
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:49,800
generosity. 
There's a good message, Matt. 

58
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:52,720
Wasn't that incredible, man, I 
was inspired. 

59
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:55,600
I nearly went home. 
Hey, I thought today's over. 

60
00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:57,960
This is awesome. 
Matt nailed it. 

61
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:00,200
Fantastic. 
Matt, you got a real gift on 

62
00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:01,280
your life. 
You know that. 

63
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:06,440
And you're called and anointed. 
You're a storyteller, and I know

64
00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:08,800
someone out who was a 
storyteller and he went a long 

65
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:15,760
way and Jesus heads up and 
you're following in these 

66
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:18,040
footsteps. 
Well done, good man, good young 

67
00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:21,600
man. 
And I'm Deuteronomy 6 versus one

68
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:25,760
to seven. 
It says this now this is the 

69
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:30,160
commandment, and these are the 
statues and judgments which the 

70
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:34,320
Lord your God has commanded to 
teach you, that you may observe 

71
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:37,720
them in the land which you are 
crossing over to possess. 

72
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:43,120
That you may fear the Lord your 
God to keep all His statues and 

73
00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:47,440
his commandments which I 
commanded you, you and your 

74
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:53,280
grandson, and your son and your 
grandson, all the days of your 

75
00:04:53,280 --> 00:04:57,240
life, and that their days may be
prolonged. 

76
00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:03,080
Therefore hear, O Israel, and be
careful to observe it, that it 

77
00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:08,320
may be well with you, and that 
you may multiply greatly, as the

78
00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:13,120
Lord God of your Father's has 
promised you a land flowing with

79
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:16,960
milk and honey. 
Hear, O Israel, the Lord our 

80
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:21,240
God, the Lord is 1. 
You shall love the Lord your God

81
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:24,200
with all your heart, with all 
your soul, and with all your 

82
00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:25,520
strength. 
Let me say that again. 

83
00:05:25,840 --> 00:05:31,200
You shall love the Lord your God
with all your heart, with all 

84
00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:34,200
your soul, and with all your 
strength. 

85
00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:37,480
Now listen to the verse 6. 
And these words which I 

86
00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:41,800
commanded you today shall be in 
your heart. 

87
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:46,640
You shall teach them diligently 
to your children and shall talk 

88
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:49,800
of them when you sit in your 
house. 

89
00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:55,680
You shall talk of them when you 
sit in your house, when you walk

90
00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:58,720
by the way, and when you lie 
down. 

91
00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:04,760
And when you rise up, listen, 
you shall talk of these things 

92
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:09,720
when you do the action of 
sitting down in your house, when

93
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:13,760
you walk by your way in your 
daily life, when you lay down at

94
00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:17,280
night, and when you raise up in 
the morning. 

95
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:24,120
There's keys for us here today. 
As Moses is preparing Israel to 

96
00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:29,320
enter the Promised Land, his 
greatest concerned is not the 

97
00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:35,800
lands. 
His greatest concern for you is 

98
00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:38,920
not even the promise that He has
for you. 

99
00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:46,080
His greatest concern for your 
life is not how well you perform

100
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:51,040
and fulfill the promise that He 
has for your life. 

101
00:06:51,280 --> 00:06:56,280
His greatest concern is not the 
land, but the next generation's 

102
00:06:56,280 --> 00:06:59,880
faithfulness. 
His greatest concern was the 

103
00:06:59,880 --> 00:07:03,960
children, fathers, mothers in 
the house. 

104
00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:10,120
Today, God's greatest concern is
what you leave to the next 

105
00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:15,320
generation, to your children and
the generation in the world 

106
00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:18,840
around us. 
He reminds fathers and families 

107
00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:25,920
that God's Word must not be 
heard only but be lived and be 

108
00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:29,880
passed down. 
This is the heartbeat of 

109
00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:32,360
Christian parenting and 
fatherhood. 

110
00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:40,400
Is that your your faith not be 
just heard but be implemented 

111
00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:45,760
into your children's life. 
I think this, sometimes we are 

112
00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:51,200
just too concerned with the 
greater mission and not 

113
00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:53,720
concerned enough with the 
immediate mission. 

114
00:07:56,400 --> 00:08:01,080
It's one thing for me to stand 
up here and charge the whole 

115
00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:03,640
church to the mission of the 
community. 

116
00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:08,360
If I'm neglecting my own 
children #1 mission is my 

117
00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:10,360
children. 
I love you, Church, but my 

118
00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:16,600
children are #1 they're me. 
And God has placed into my 

119
00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:20,240
direct care my children. 
Here's the thing about my 

120
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:22,680
children. 
They were there since the day 

121
00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:26,560
they were born in my life. 
And they will be there in my 

122
00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:30,760
life, in my memory, in my heart,
in my action, in my motive, till

123
00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:33,840
the day I go to heaven. 
And then when I'm in heaven, 

124
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:38,919
I'll be judged upon the legacy 
that I left into the life and 

125
00:08:38,919 --> 00:08:43,039
heart of my children. 
So in your life, whether you're 

126
00:08:43,039 --> 00:08:47,600
a spiritual parent here today, 
just just a member of the 

127
00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:51,840
church, someone new today, a 
father or a mother or even a 

128
00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:56,480
child, we need to understand 
that our legacy has an immense 

129
00:08:56,480 --> 00:09:00,680
importance from God and the 
commissioning from God. 

130
00:09:00,680 --> 00:09:08,800
So .1 this morning is God's word
must first live in the hearts. 

131
00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:14,880
God's word must first live in 
our hearts. 

132
00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:19,120
Verse six said these words shall
be in your heart. 

133
00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:22,280
Listen, faith is caught before 
it's taught. 

134
00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:27,520
I've had to learn this. 
I've I've experimented with this

135
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:31,840
and I I thought that I could 
teach just by telling people. 

136
00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:35,880
And I've learned that my life 
matters more than what I say. 

137
00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:41,200
Listen, my behaviours matter 
more than what I say and what I 

138
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:44,760
say reinforces the truth of my 
behaviour. 

139
00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:51,960
Now what you say can RIP a 
person down, but what you do 

140
00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:54,960
will lift the person back up. 
I've learned this. 

141
00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:58,880
I can RIP a person down with my 
words, but I don't. 

142
00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:01,920
I can't build them up just the 
same with my words. 

143
00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:07,280
I build people up by getting 
under them and lifting them 

144
00:10:07,680 --> 00:10:12,960
physically by them seeing my 
number one concern by the fruits

145
00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:16,920
of my life, the actions of my 
life and my behaviour. 

146
00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:23,120
My kids learn more from me by 
what they see of their dad than 

147
00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:26,880
what dad tells them to do. 
You know the old saying, we have

148
00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:29,000
this joke in our house. 
I think we're joking. 

149
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:30,720
We're joking. 
I'm we're pretty sure. 

150
00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:33,080
I'm pretty sure it's a joke. 
It's a joke to me. 

151
00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:37,040
It's no, it's a it's a joke. 
It's a joke in our house, right.

152
00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:43,960
But we, we often, we often say, 
do what we say, not what we do, 

153
00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:50,440
but it's completely it's a joke.
It's a judge me drink of water. 

154
00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:59,320
You guys are harsh. 
The reality is as we say that 

155
00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:03,920
because we know the truth is, is
do what we do and let what we 

156
00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:06,560
say reinforce that and bring 
strength to that. 

157
00:11:06,560 --> 00:11:12,640
Does this make sense? 
And so, so faith is taught, 

158
00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:16,280
caught before it's taught. 
Children follow what they see 

159
00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:19,080
lived out, not only what they 
hear. 

160
00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:23,920
They follow what they see the 
behaviour of our life, not just 

161
00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:26,960
what we say. 
Why would you follow someone 

162
00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:30,440
that says something that doesn't
do it, that that discounts what 

163
00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:33,840
they say because they're saying 
something, but there's no real 

164
00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:35,960
value in that because they 
wouldn't do it in the first 

165
00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:37,400
place. 
Does that make sense? 

166
00:11:37,680 --> 00:11:40,400
And so people see the value in 
what you do. 

167
00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:45,320
And then when you say it, it has
strength to it and truth wrapped

168
00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:48,560
up in it. 
Psalms 119 Eleven says your 

169
00:11:48,560 --> 00:11:52,000
word. 
I have hidden in my heart. 

170
00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:56,840
And so sometimes we see that and
we go, yeah, it's the word of 

171
00:11:56,840 --> 00:11:57,840
God. 
No, no, no. 

172
00:11:57,880 --> 00:12:03,240
It's what you do with the words,
it's what you do with what mum 

173
00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:06,440
and dad are saying or parents. 
It's what you you train your 

174
00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:11,440
children to do with their action
of what they do with what you 

175
00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:13,320
say. 
It's hidden in my heart. 

176
00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:18,480
Proverbs 423 Keep your heart 
with all diligence, for out of 

177
00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:21,760
out of it springs the issue of 
life. 

178
00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:26,680
It's just interesting that what 
is in our heart, what we 

179
00:12:26,680 --> 00:12:31,280
actually apply into our lives, 
out of that will spring out the 

180
00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:36,200
issues of life. 
So we are to hide His word in 

181
00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:38,800
our heart and keep putting it in
us. 

182
00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:45,320
So Father's Day tip #1 for the 
fathers, before you can pass on 

183
00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:49,480
faith, you must know God 
personally. 

184
00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:55,800
Your daily walk with Jesus will 
leave your a greater impact than

185
00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:59,840
your words will leave. 
Father's Day. 

186
00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:05,920
Tim point #2 Fathers are called 
to impress God's word on their 

187
00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:10,320
children. 
This is our #1 mission and call 

188
00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:12,640
from God. 
In verse seven, the first part 

189
00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:19,240
of verse 7, it said you shall 
teach them diligently to your 

190
00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:23,720
children. 
The word teach means to sharpen,

191
00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:28,760
engrave and shape. 
In other words, we shape our 

192
00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:32,160
children with the word of God. 
Does this make sense? 

193
00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:36,960
There's more than preaching at 
there's a shaping behavioural 

194
00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:39,480
thing that we do with our 
children. 

195
00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:45,800
Passing faith is not automatic. 
It takes takes intention, 

196
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:52,800
consistency, and repetition. 
It takes intention, consistency,

197
00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:57,000
and repetition. 
It takes intention on being 

198
00:13:57,000 --> 00:14:01,000
intentional right now, 
consistency on being consistent 

199
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:05,720
right now, and repetition. 
I'm repeating myself is because 

200
00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:10,280
I I want it's not automatic that
you're going to hear what I'm 

201
00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:15,520
saying, but through intention, 
consistency and repetition, you 

202
00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:17,360
will remember those three 
points. 

203
00:14:17,560 --> 00:14:20,440
Does that make sense? 
So This is why we want to have 

204
00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:25,920
intention and consistency and 
repetition in what we do in our 

205
00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:28,880
life. 
Proverbs 22 six says train up a 

206
00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:33,280
child in the way he should go. 
Keywords Frame. 

207
00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:35,640
Is there any? 
Is there any athletes in the 

208
00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:37,800
house? 
My hands down. 

209
00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:42,520
There's no athletes in this 
house. 

210
00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:44,440
Man, we got to work. 
We got one down the front. 

211
00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:46,680
Can we put our hands together 
for Robin this morning? 

212
00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:52,880
Leading the way. 
Yeah, I've learned this. 

213
00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:56,040
I tried to run 5 KS with my 
amazing wife. 

214
00:14:56,040 --> 00:14:59,600
He just runs it and she's 
running, she's talking, she's 

215
00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:06,280
probably planning on her phone 
and and I unfortunately for for 

216
00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:09,520
me, I, I just one K and I'm 
pretty wrecked. 

217
00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:15,160
I can walk 5 KS. 
I've learned and and it takes it

218
00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:20,080
takes a lot of training, right? 
And so we are prepared to train 

219
00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:23,840
when it comes to doing the park 
run every Saturday, you know, 

220
00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:27,680
we're prepared to train how to 
understand the world of 

221
00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:32,000
computers, mostly because we 
want to shop and get cheap 

222
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:37,160
prices online. 
And, and so we train for things 

223
00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:39,120
in our life. 
When you get a job, you've got 

224
00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:42,800
to train for that. 
But the reality is, is if you 

225
00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:45,680
want your children to walk in 
the ways of God, we've got to 

226
00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:49,240
train our children. 
We'll train ourselves, but we 

227
00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:52,920
will train our children. 
And, and that might sound 

228
00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:57,280
simple, but I, I can see that I 
live in a world where children 

229
00:15:57,280 --> 00:16:02,360
train children and the parents 
are absent or working on 

230
00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:07,040
training themselves. 
But let me tell you, because of 

231
00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:09,520
your age, you have something to 
teach. 

232
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:13,280
Because of your life 
experiences, you have something 

233
00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:18,840
to teach and so teaching or, or 
is it requires more than just a 

234
00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:22,920
saying something? 
We've gotta train our children 

235
00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:26,000
and fathers. 
I know you do an amazing job in 

236
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:29,720
this, but I reckon we can lift 
the ante in this church and we 

237
00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:31,480
can just go. 
You know what, I'm not, I'm not 

238
00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:33,880
going to pre chat my children so
much. 

239
00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:36,560
I'm not going to just tell them 
things so much. 

240
00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:41,760
I'm going to be the example of 
this so that I can train them in

241
00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:44,000
the ways of the Lord and in 
faith. 

242
00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:45,800
Amen Mothers, you can do the 
same. 

243
00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:47,280
It will be good for all of us to
do it. 

244
00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:49,120
Unity in the house is a good 
thing. 

245
00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:54,280
And so Ephesians 64 says, 
fathers, do not provoke your 

246
00:16:54,280 --> 00:17:00,120
children to wrath, but bring 
them up in the training and 

247
00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:03,520
Admiral, the big word there is, 
is it on the screens. 

248
00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:04,839
There we go. 
You just read it. 

249
00:17:04,839 --> 00:17:06,960
You read it yourself of the 
Lord. 

250
00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:11,520
Proverbs 27 the righteous man 
walks in integrity. 

251
00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:13,720
His children are blessed after 
them. 

252
00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:17,560
It doesn't said say the 
righteous man talks with 

253
00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:21,680
integrity. 
He said you can tell the 

254
00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:24,319
righteous man because of the way
he walks. 

255
00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:29,160
He walks with integrity. 
And then what happens? 

256
00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:31,160
Well, then the children are 
blessed. 

257
00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:35,440
And if you're looking at your 
family dynamic or just being 

258
00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:39,320
roaring and honesty, if you're 
looking at your family dynamic 

259
00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:41,920
and wondering where the 
blessing, the real question is, 

260
00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:47,240
is where is the example of 
integrity and fathers in the 

261
00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:50,720
house today? 
I know that every single father 

262
00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:55,080
in this house and mother in this
house has it deep inside of you.

263
00:17:55,400 --> 00:18:00,800
You can rise up to this new way 
of walking with integrity so 

264
00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:03,200
that your children will walk in 
your blessing. 

265
00:18:04,280 --> 00:18:06,720
Amen. 
It's one thing to pray the 

266
00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:11,680
blessing of God over your 
children, but God says, but I 

267
00:18:11,680 --> 00:18:15,480
have blessed you through 
salvation in Jesus Christ that 

268
00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:20,240
you now walk a different way. 
You walk by faith now and not by

269
00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:23,880
sight. 
You don't walk by what you see, 

270
00:18:24,120 --> 00:18:27,960
but you're walking is exampling 
who he is and the 

271
00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:31,200
transformational work. 
And when you know what I love 

272
00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:34,280
the one of the greatest, I just 
cut myself off. 

273
00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:36,480
It's weird when you do that 
right? 

274
00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:42,000
But I, I just love seeing people
when their lives are, are 

275
00:18:42,360 --> 00:18:45,560
drastically transformed by the 
love of God. 

276
00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:49,840
Like we just get this example so
much in our in our church. 

277
00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:55,200
Their lives get transformed and 
then they live so radically 

278
00:18:55,200 --> 00:19:00,360
different, but they're so far 
from what we might call perfect 

279
00:19:00,360 --> 00:19:04,880
or or they're so far from even 
the Christian living and life 

280
00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:09,960
experiences that I have yet in 
an instant, because of their 

281
00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:15,560
dramatic transformation, they 
example that they they shout it,

282
00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:18,200
but their life just they dress 
different. 

283
00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:21,600
They change things at home. 
They throw things out and they 

284
00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:27,120
tell us about it, but they don't
just tell us we get to see it. 

285
00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:29,880
Have you has anyone in this 
church seen people like this 

286
00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:34,360
walking around the church right.
And we it's just so beautiful 

287
00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:37,240
for us to watch. 
You know, for me, being a 

288
00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:43,080
lifelong Christian, I watch that
and it stirs my faith to ways 

289
00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:46,440
that Chris can't stir because 
Chris has been a Christian for a

290
00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:49,200
long time. 
And when I see these guys come 

291
00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:54,160
in it, it's a new stirring of my
faith of come on grain. 

292
00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:58,840
Where is your example of trance 
with God has done so many things

293
00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:03,680
in your life for you to testify.
But to show the world around 

294
00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:06,840
this is this is where Miracle 
Services came out of. 

295
00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:09,720
It's like my way to show the 
world. 

296
00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:11,200
I'm like, well, you've given me 
a church. 

297
00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:15,840
God, let's use this ship and, 
and, and, and just make a way 

298
00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:20,040
for the world around to see the 
transformation that God has done

299
00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:23,840
in our lives because we want to 
share in their lives. 

300
00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:28,640
Amen. 
Father's Day tip #2 Father's 

301
00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:33,440
teach your children through 
regular conversations, prayer, 

302
00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:38,000
reading of scripture together. 
Teaching is not only with words,

303
00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:44,120
but with constant example. 
Point #3 This morning faith is 

304
00:20:44,120 --> 00:20:49,720
lived out in everyday life. 
Your faith is not a Sunday 

305
00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:52,320
thing. 
Your faith is not a it's 

306
00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:56,680
definitely not a secret thing. 
Your faith is not just a 

307
00:20:56,720 --> 00:21:01,640
personal thing. 
Your faith is to ooze out of who

308
00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:06,400
you are, the love of Jesus 
Christ and everything He has 

309
00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:10,920
done in your life. 
Verse 7, the second-half of that

310
00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:16,080
verse says talk of them when you
sit in your house, when you walk

311
00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:20,400
by the way, when you lie down 
and when you rise up. 

312
00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:24,480
You know, I was praying about 
this message this morning and I 

313
00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:26,440
believe God highlighted this to 
me. 

314
00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:34,920
And he said that people focus on
the talk of them, the talk of 

315
00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:38,600
them, but the talk of them is 
not the full stop point. 

316
00:21:39,240 --> 00:21:42,240
The talk of them is not how we 
do it. 

317
00:21:43,520 --> 00:21:47,200
The the talk of them is 
literally words. 

318
00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:53,160
It's the talk of them when you 
do the action. 

319
00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:56,880
Sit in your house when Dad is 
home. 

320
00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:07,880
I talk to my kids when you walk,
by the way, when I walk to work 

321
00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:12,480
through my workplace, wherever I
go, I'm, I'm talking, I'm 

322
00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:17,160
testifying, I'm declaring what 
God has been doing. 

323
00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:20,720
You know, let me just throw out 
a challenge because I know that 

324
00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:22,400
this can be really difficult for
some. 

325
00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:26,640
But I really believe that you 
have what it takes within you to

326
00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:31,120
just let this come out. 
And as you do the first and the 

327
00:22:31,120 --> 00:22:33,960
second, the third time, you're 
actually going to find fun in 

328
00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:37,160
this. 
But when you're at work, why 

329
00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:40,360
don't you tell people about what
happened at church on Sunday? 

330
00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:46,840
When when people say how was 
your week, don't focus on 

331
00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:51,680
Wednesday, focus on Sunday 
because Sunday set up your 

332
00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:56,200
Monday to Saturday right it. 
This is what church is the the 

333
00:22:56,200 --> 00:23:00,280
Saints come together, we 
rejoice, we testify together and

334
00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:02,760
there's the edification of the 
Saints. 

335
00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:05,840
This is scripturally what what 
we get together for. 

336
00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:11,880
And so on Sunday we are edified 
as the Saints of God in the 

337
00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:16,360
mission and the purpose that God
and the call and the the worship

338
00:23:16,360 --> 00:23:20,800
and our our connection with God.
Let that be what how was your 

339
00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:23,440
week this week? 
Oh man, it started on Sunday. 

340
00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:25,640
Can I just tell you what 
happened at church? 

341
00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:29,960
Here he goes again. 
And then you tell them. 

342
00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:33,400
And let me tell you, by the end 
of it, they just be like, wow, I

343
00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:38,560
never get this in my life. 
Well, you can, you know, And 

344
00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:41,920
then maybe on Wednesday you're 
not telling them about Monday. 

345
00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:44,800
Maybe on Wednesday you'd be 
leaving, leading them to the 

346
00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:47,760
Lord. 
Or maybe Wednesday's 

347
00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:50,840
conversation would be an invite 
and Friday's conversation. 

348
00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:54,480
But as you walk into the car to 
celebrate that great, great 

349
00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:57,480
week, well, instead of spending 
all your money this week, why 

350
00:23:57,480 --> 00:23:59,640
don't you come to church on 
Sunday? 

351
00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:04,120
You know what I mean? 
It's so we can reshape our world

352
00:24:04,360 --> 00:24:08,480
so that there's not empty word, 
but there's words with action 

353
00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:11,440
and behaviour into into wine 
together. 

354
00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:15,200
Does this make sense? 
So people follow a transformed 

355
00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:17,320
Christian. 
They don't follow Christians who

356
00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:22,840
just speak about transformation.
I don't know about you, but I've

357
00:24:22,840 --> 00:24:26,280
seen a lot of people that speak 
about the goodness of God and 

358
00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:28,880
the things of God. 
But then I'll watch their lives 

359
00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:33,360
and they don't tithe. 
I watch their lives and they 

360
00:24:33,360 --> 00:24:37,000
don't pray with their children. 
I've watched how they discipline

361
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:38,560
and I've gone. 
Where's the grace and the love 

362
00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:41,920
of God? 
And I've seen the example and 

363
00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:44,440
the example hasn't lined up with
the words. 

364
00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:47,840
I don't like to follow words. 
I like to follow people. 

365
00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:52,240
And this church is a church full
of leaders, right? 

366
00:24:52,360 --> 00:24:54,880
Could you just lift your hand up
right now in the air? 

367
00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:57,840
Just everyone lift your hand up.
Lift your hand up. 

368
00:24:58,360 --> 00:24:59,200
Yeah. 
Just everyone. 

369
00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:01,360
Just just the whole lot. 
Let's just be crazy for a 

370
00:25:01,360 --> 00:25:02,840
moment. 
Lift our hand to judge. 

371
00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:06,000
That's awesome. 
OK, leaders, put your hands 

372
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:15,550
down. 
So passing on faith happens in 

373
00:25:15,550 --> 00:25:22,150
the ordinary rhythms of life. 
God's word is not for one day, 

374
00:25:22,150 --> 00:25:24,870
the Sunday, but for all of your 
life. 

375
00:25:25,350 --> 00:25:29,590
Lift your hand if God loves you 
on Thursdays. 

376
00:25:31,390 --> 00:25:33,920
Yeah, I thought so. 
I thought so. 

377
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:35,000
This is good. 
This is good. 

378
00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:41,440
Joshua 2415. 
And As for me in my house, yeah,

379
00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:43,600
the youth, the youth know the 
Scriptures. 

380
00:25:44,520 --> 00:25:47,480
Psalm 78, four. 
Does anyone, can anyone quote 

381
00:25:47,480 --> 00:25:56,840
that one? 
So could you read out loud 

382
00:25:56,840 --> 00:26:05,440
Second Timothy one verse 5? 
Oh, read it out, read it out. 

383
00:26:19,040 --> 00:26:21,520
You should take as long as I 
take when I'm ready. 

384
00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:26,280
Where did Timothy's faith come 
from? 

385
00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:32,120
Through his mother and his 
grandmother's example, That's 

386
00:26:32,120 --> 00:26:37,160
where Timothy's face. 
So Father's Day tip #3 father's 

387
00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:41,760
at the table. 
Share what God is doing on the 

388
00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:44,520
road. 
Talk about God's guidance. 

389
00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:48,640
At night, pray over your 
children, and in the morning, 

390
00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:53,240
begin with gratitude. 
Can I just give you, it's not my

391
00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:57,520
notes, but it's a really good 
example, a conversation. 

392
00:26:57,520 --> 00:26:59,040
I can't even remember the 
conversation. 

393
00:26:59,280 --> 00:27:01,040
Come on, God, come on, God, give
me a conversation. 

394
00:27:03,280 --> 00:27:10,960
I was driving in my my son's car
just two weeks ago and I can't 

395
00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:13,000
remember the conversation. 
It's coming though, right? 

396
00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:17,600
Anyway, it's so we're driving in
the car and Bobby and I were 

397
00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:19,360
just talking. 
It was just him and me in the 

398
00:27:19,360 --> 00:27:22,400
car and we just started talking 
about there we go. 

399
00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:25,120
It's coming, it's coming. 
You know, there's a lesson in 

400
00:27:25,120 --> 00:27:27,040
that. 
Hey, can I give you the lesson 

401
00:27:27,040 --> 00:27:30,320
or day-to-day you don't you just
keep talking the story. 

402
00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:35,560
No lessons this morning. 
And so and so Bobby and I were 

403
00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:40,120
just chatting and Bobby, I just 
said, how's youth going? 

404
00:27:40,120 --> 00:27:42,880
And Bobby and any other music 
directors in the youth group? 

405
00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:45,280
And, and I was just saying, how 
is youth going? 

406
00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:48,440
How's your leadership going? 
And he said, you know, Dad, I'll

407
00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:50,800
just, I'll just watch you on 
Sundays. 

408
00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:55,280
This is good dad moment right 
now. 

409
00:27:55,960 --> 00:27:59,920
And he just said, I'll watch you
on Sundays and I'll watch how 

410
00:27:59,920 --> 00:28:04,000
you lead the dream team. 
And so I've just been doing that

411
00:28:04,320 --> 00:28:07,320
at youth and that's how I've 
been leading and it's been 

412
00:28:07,320 --> 00:28:08,760
working. 
It's been good. 

413
00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:11,520
And I said, yeah, yeah, yeah. 
Keep leaning into Dad, Bobby. 

414
00:28:11,600 --> 00:28:16,440
He knows what he's doing. 
And learn, learn from my 

415
00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:19,280
failures because I've done all 
the mistakes, right? 

416
00:28:19,280 --> 00:28:20,800
I'm still doing some at the 
moment. 

417
00:28:21,160 --> 00:28:25,320
But as I learn, you know, if 
your children can follow in your

418
00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:30,560
footsteps, they build upon our 
mistakes into a greater future. 

419
00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:33,160
Amen. 
Let me tell you, there is no 

420
00:28:33,160 --> 00:28:36,040
mistakes in the mistakes that 
you've made in your life. 

421
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:40,800
Now some people in this room, 
they're like, whoa, Pastor Gray,

422
00:28:40,800 --> 00:28:43,560
that's a massive statement. 
You, you don't really understand

423
00:28:43,560 --> 00:28:46,640
what I've done. 
Let me tell you, I understand 

424
00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:50,840
the Redeemer and what he has 
done and what he does. 

425
00:28:50,960 --> 00:28:55,360
Your mistakes with God or 
without God, you still did them 

426
00:28:56,040 --> 00:28:57,440
all right? 
So they've happened. 

427
00:28:57,640 --> 00:29:00,960
But he turns all things together
for good. 

428
00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:04,120
And when the Scripture says he 
turns all things together for 

429
00:29:04,120 --> 00:29:09,720
good, he doesn't mean, but that 
he means absolutely anything 

430
00:29:09,720 --> 00:29:13,040
that you would bring to him. 
He will turn it together for 

431
00:29:13,040 --> 00:29:15,320
good. 
Every time you've slept with 

432
00:29:15,320 --> 00:29:18,080
someone, he will turn that 
together for good. 

433
00:29:18,320 --> 00:29:22,040
Every time you've pulled someone
down, he will turn that together

434
00:29:22,040 --> 00:29:25,720
for good. 
He will take these things and he

435
00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:30,480
will turn them around to be 
examples that your children will

436
00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:34,520
learn from so that they do not 
have to fulfil what you you 

437
00:29:34,520 --> 00:29:36,160
fulfilled in your life. 
Amen. 

438
00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:43,160
You can tell them the right 
thing, but when they see God 

439
00:29:43,160 --> 00:29:48,960
redeem you and I form the wrong 
thing and see our reactions to 

440
00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:53,280
that, that them is the greatest 
examples of faith that they 

441
00:29:53,280 --> 00:29:57,200
could ever have in this world. 
And you know what I think? 

442
00:29:58,840 --> 00:30:01,640
I think this world talks just 
too much. 

443
00:30:01,640 --> 00:30:03,040
I'm not talking about the 
church. 

444
00:30:03,800 --> 00:30:10,280
This world talks so much and 
with their words of you should 

445
00:30:10,280 --> 00:30:13,480
do this, 5 minutes later YouTube
says you should do that, 6 

446
00:30:13,480 --> 00:30:15,920
minutes later Facebook says you 
should do that. 

447
00:30:16,400 --> 00:30:25,080
And there's so many examples 
and, and untangible words and 

448
00:30:25,320 --> 00:30:30,760
examples and instructions out 
there that our generation or 

449
00:30:30,760 --> 00:30:35,760
this generation thinks that the 
words and, and what people say 

450
00:30:35,760 --> 00:30:39,800
holds truth. 
But when the church comes along 

451
00:30:40,240 --> 00:30:44,520
and we example the 
transformational power of God in

452
00:30:44,520 --> 00:30:51,320
our lives, the world goes whoa. 
And it blows their minds because

453
00:30:51,320 --> 00:30:54,640
they don't see the positives of 
transformation. 

454
00:30:54,840 --> 00:30:59,080
They only see the negatives of 
when people follow empty words. 

455
00:30:59,080 --> 00:31:03,320
Does this make sense? 
And so as the church in as as 

456
00:31:03,320 --> 00:31:07,480
you being part of the church 
fathers in your house today, 

457
00:31:07,680 --> 00:31:12,120
when you example what God has 
done in your life, that isn't 

458
00:31:12,120 --> 00:31:16,440
just a good thing. 
It's a mind blowing world 

459
00:31:16,440 --> 00:31:19,680
changing thing to this 
generation. 

460
00:31:20,080 --> 00:31:23,840
This generation has been built 
on words, but it's going to be 

461
00:31:23,840 --> 00:31:28,440
transformed through the power of
God that transforms people's 

462
00:31:28,440 --> 00:31:29,280
lives. 
Amen. 

463
00:31:29,720 --> 00:31:32,840
Do you accept that this morning 
as as like a bit of a 

464
00:31:32,840 --> 00:31:36,720
commissioning over your life 
that I am more than what I say, 

465
00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:41,520
but I am what I do and what God 
has done through my life? 

466
00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:44,680
Let me just bring one more 
Scripture this morning from the 

467
00:31:44,680 --> 00:31:48,760
apostle John. 
The apostle John wrote in three,

468
00:31:48,760 --> 00:31:52,080
John one to four in the 
amplified version. 

469
00:31:52,440 --> 00:31:59,080
I have no greater joy than this 
to hear that my spiritual 

470
00:31:59,080 --> 00:32:03,720
children are living after 
they're living their lives in 

471
00:32:03,720 --> 00:32:08,640
the truth. 
It doesn't say I have no greater

472
00:32:08,720 --> 00:32:14,040
joy than this to hear what's on 
the mouth of my children. 

473
00:32:15,080 --> 00:32:20,960
It says. 
But to see, to hear my that my 

474
00:32:20,960 --> 00:32:24,400
spiritual children are living 
their faith. 

475
00:32:25,360 --> 00:32:27,240
They're not speaking about 
faith. 

476
00:32:27,240 --> 00:32:30,600
Yeah, God can do it, but they 
are living it. 

477
00:32:30,600 --> 00:32:33,680
Look what God has done. 
Amen. 

478
00:32:34,240 --> 00:32:37,760
And I think sometimes when we 
read the scriptures, we stop at 

479
00:32:37,760 --> 00:32:41,120
the hearing, we stop at the the 
speaking and the stop at. 

480
00:32:41,280 --> 00:32:46,400
But we, we need to see that that
is always uplifting A behaviour.

481
00:32:46,800 --> 00:32:51,480
It's always uplifting what the 
transformational truth of the 

482
00:32:51,480 --> 00:32:56,000
word of God is. 
So three things to remember 

483
00:32:56,000 --> 00:32:59,160
today. 
Number one, let His word live in

484
00:32:59,160 --> 00:33:03,400
your heart #2 and press it on 
your children. 

485
00:33:03,400 --> 00:33:06,960
Don't just say it and press it 
on the stampum, right? 

486
00:33:06,960 --> 00:33:11,440
And #3 teach it daily in 
ordinary life. 

487
00:33:11,480 --> 00:33:16,960
Listen, your faith today shapes 
your children's tomorrow. 

488
00:33:17,720 --> 00:33:22,680
Your faith today shapes your 
children's tomorrow. 

489
00:33:22,800 --> 00:33:24,880
Amen. 
You receive that today when we 

490
00:33:24,880 --> 00:33:27,520
close our eyes here this 
morning. 

491
00:33:28,840 --> 00:33:32,760
Let me pray Father, I just want 
to pray a blessing, Lord God, 

492
00:33:32,760 --> 00:33:36,440
over all the parents and 
spiritual parents and foster 

493
00:33:36,440 --> 00:33:40,680
parents and grandparents, father
and over the dads. 

494
00:33:41,200 --> 00:33:44,080
Father, I just want to thank you
for this honour of being a 

495
00:33:44,080 --> 00:33:48,280
father to children that you've 
given, You've given me and all 

496
00:33:48,280 --> 00:33:51,920
of us men such a great 
responsibility. 

497
00:33:52,080 --> 00:33:55,200
It's a great responsibility. 
It's big, it's great. 

498
00:33:56,080 --> 00:33:58,520
And Father, I thank you for 
that. 

499
00:33:58,520 --> 00:34:03,360
You would see us as worthy as 
being the man of houses, being 

500
00:34:03,360 --> 00:34:10,320
husbands and being fathers. 
And so, Father God, I just pray 

501
00:34:10,320 --> 00:34:15,080
a blessing right now over all 
the fathers of the house, that 

502
00:34:15,080 --> 00:34:18,560
Father, that you would 
strengthen us as you 

503
00:34:18,560 --> 00:34:24,560
strengthened your son, that you 
would gift us as you've gifted 

504
00:34:24,560 --> 00:34:29,960
your son Jesus, That you would 
empower us continually as you've

505
00:34:29,960 --> 00:34:34,760
empowered your son Jesus. 
And that you would help us walk 

506
00:34:34,760 --> 00:34:40,120
out the truth of who you are as 
we saw example in Jesus. 

507
00:34:40,960 --> 00:34:44,159
And Father, I just pray this 
blessing over all the fathers of

508
00:34:44,159 --> 00:34:49,480
the house today and the strength
that I know is in US. 

509
00:34:49,480 --> 00:34:54,239
I call it out today. 
Lord Godfather, people from 

510
00:34:54,239 --> 00:34:58,240
broken marriages. 
Father Godfather, I just thank 

511
00:34:58,240 --> 00:35:02,880
you for your your faith right 
now to just infuse all these men

512
00:35:02,880 --> 00:35:07,240
and all the women as well. 
Lord God, the the brokenness is 

513
00:35:07,240 --> 00:35:10,200
not a brokenness between you and
us. 

514
00:35:10,720 --> 00:35:15,480
But Father, in that you said 
that when we are weak, then you 

515
00:35:15,720 --> 00:35:17,280
are strong, You're always 
strong. 

516
00:35:17,280 --> 00:35:19,120
But we get to see it in that 
moment. 

517
00:35:19,640 --> 00:35:24,200
So Father, all the single dads 
in the house, I thank you for 

518
00:35:24,200 --> 00:35:27,240
them and I pray an immense 
blessing upon them. 

519
00:35:27,720 --> 00:35:33,560
Lord God, amazing man and women,
but amazing men today, Lord God 

520
00:35:33,560 --> 00:35:37,640
that would rise up and say, you 
know what, I'm going to example 

521
00:35:37,640 --> 00:35:42,600
what it is to live with Jesus 
Christ in spite situations and I

522
00:35:42,600 --> 00:35:44,840
thank you for a strength in them
all gone. 

523
00:35:45,480 --> 00:35:48,040
And Father, I just thank you for
what you've done in all of our 

524
00:35:48,040 --> 00:35:50,760
lives in Jesus name, you know.
