So let's keep that in mind. Well, family, if you're here, this is maybe some of, I know a lot of,

a lot of individuals are newer to our church. We're growing rather exponentially. On this Sunday, I teach,

but it's more of a homily or a sermonette. And so there's something on my heart, and I want to kind of share and lead into our moment

of generosity here on Miracle Sunday.

I'm going to read one verse of scripture found in John chapter number two.

I want to read verse five, Verse five. In Jesus, Jesus' mother, Mary,

is the individual that is spoken of in this verse. His mother said to the servants,

do whatever he tells you. That's it. I want to talk from this subject today, family. I need some

motion. Clap your hands if you're ready for God's word. Every location. I need some motion.

Family, I want to start this sermon by exposing an emotional. Somebody say emotional? That was kind of weak. Say emotional. I want to start this sermon by exposing an

emotional epidemic that seems to have invaded this era.

It is an epidemic that is inhibiting many people's ability to experience God's best.

It's an epidemic that is minimizing people's movement.

It's inhibiting the evolution.

It's blocking some blessings, it's robbing

them of personal resources and it's gutting God's glory. It's an epidemic that is keeping

some people up at night and keeping other people in the bed all day. It's an epidemic that's

deterring some people from their destiny. It's blocking their

ability to see blessings and it's bringing many to the place where they're getting to the end

of their life and realize I never lived my life. It's an epidemic that is emotional in nature,

but it is destructive in expression.

And you may be wondering what this emotional epidemic I'm referring to is and family.
