Welcome to Gateway Church's podcast.

Wherever you're tuning in from, we hope you're encouraged by today's message.

I don't know who is more excited about me being here, me or my Puerto Rican mother.

Okay? Let me tell you why. She loves this house. She loves the worship that comes

out of this house. She loves the ministry that comes out of this house. She loves the ministry that comes out of this house.

And in fact, it's okay, we're going to tell on ourselves and confess our trespasses.

I'll confess from my mom, but my dad told my mom, who watches Pastor Robert every Sunday as she's getting ready for church before she goes to daddy's church on Sunday.

And so my dad says, are you watching a righteous crush again as she is getting ready for church. So

Pastor Robert, my mom and dad love you and send their greetings as well. But

when I told my mom very excitedly that Pastor Robert invited me to come and delve into the word of

God. I was shocked but she was more shocked and she said,

that old baby, why did Pastor Robert invite you?

And I took a Why did it pass to Robert invite you?

And I took a beat and I was like, rude.

But then I said, mama, it's because I'm called.

And I have come on assignment

because that statement isn't just for me. That statement is for you.

And now I feel basic, if I'm a rudimentary or elementary.

Some of it might be a revelational word of encouragement,

but for others it might feel just as simple as a reminder.

But woman of God, you are called. Man of God, you are called. The title of today's

message is simply, you are called. When I was praying about what to bring today, we had a wonderful time at Pink and I was a little naughty. We had fun though.
