So today we are beginning a brand new series entitled Miracles then and now.

And here's how I'd like for us to start. I want to start by asking you a question in a second.

And I'm going to ask you to raise your hand, but don't raise your hand until I give you the cue because I just kind of want to tease out the question a little bit to make sure everybody knows where we're going.

And if you're watching at home with some friends, I would love for you to participate as well.

If you're driving there's somebody else in the car,

you can, you know, one-hand it for a second.

But just, if you have ever, and wait until I like you,

if you have ever asked God for, or even if you're not even sure about God if you've ever

wished for or hope for or felt like you needed a miracle in about 15 seconds I'm

going to ask you to raise your hand,

but I want to tease us out a little bit.

I mean, going all the way back to high school,

because you're driving home and you're way after a curfew

and you're saying you're bargaining with God.

God, I need my parents to be asleep,

and I know they're not asleep, but if you could just make them pass out and go to sleep,

you know, all the way, or maybe it was more serious than that,

maybe in high school, you were praying that God would get your parents back together,

please bring my mama home,

bring my dad home, maybe you just, God, you know, please put my family back together.

You know, God, I need a miracle, I need her to say yes, and I realize like she's way out of my league.

She doesn't even know I exist, but I'm going to go for this anyway.
