About this sermon

If we’re going to create the life that we want to live with our family, we have to keep the tone of a winner. We’re going to celebrate in the good times, and we’re going to keep that winning spirit in the difficult times. I believe that if we will maintain that consistent tone, we’re going to have a great life not only for ourselves but for our families! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Help us continue to 0:01:19.319 --> 0:01:22.280 share the message of hope with those all over the world. 0:01:22.720 --> 0:01:26.280 Visit Joeloustin dot com slash give hope to give a 0:01:26.319 --> 0:01:32.280 gift today. 0:01:34.440 --> 0:01:36.440 God has given us his grace. 0:01:36.520 --> 0:01:39.880 He's covered us all of our failures and all of 0:01:39.920 --> 0:01:45.679 our mistakes. He's never gonna fail us. He's always gonna 0:01:45.680 --> 0:01:49.640 love us. What a beautiful position to be in, such 0:01:49.680 --> 0:01:53.040 a secure position to be in. In fact, when you 0:01:53.160 --> 0:01:56.400 think about that, it makes you want to do better. 0:01:57.040 --> 0:01:59.240 It makes you want to rise higher. 0:02:00.160 --> 0:02:04.120 The scripture says it's the goodness of God that leads 0:02:04.240 --> 0:02:07.840 us to repentance. You could say it like this, it's 0:02:07.920 --> 0:02:11.480 the goodness of God that works in us and makes 0:02:11.560 --> 0:02:15.720 us better, makes us into the people He's called us 0:02:15.760 --> 0:02:18.760 to be. See the same goodness, the same love, the 0:02:18.800 --> 0:02:23.280 same unfailing love. It not only is for us, but 0:02:23.360 --> 0:02:27.639 it's for those around us. It's for our family. It's 0:02:27.680 --> 0:02:33.160 for our spouses, our children, our relatives, our neighbor. You see, 0:02:33.200 --> 0:02:36.520 God blesses us and gives us this, not to hold 0:02:36.560 --> 0:02:39.520 on to it for ourselves, not to say, oh, this 0:02:39.600 --> 0:02:43.240 is so great God. No, he blesses us so that 0:02:43.280 --> 0:02:46.280 we can spread the blessing, so that we can give 0:02:46.360 --> 0:02:49.919 the favor, so that we can be that conduit on 0:02:49.960 --> 0:02:53.720 this earth. It's called the hands and feet of Jesus. 0:02:54.560 --> 0:02:55.600 And I want us. 0:02:55.480 --> 0:02:58.400 To believe with all of our heart that we are 0:02:58.520 --> 0:03:02.920 so covered and I'm so loved that we are able 0:03:03.200 --> 0:03:03.520 to do. 0:03:03.560 --> 0:03:08.120 The same for other people. I want to talk today. 0:03:07.800 --> 0:03:12.880 About our families, making sure we are covering our families, 0:03:13.400 --> 0:03:17.200 making sure we are loving them, considering them, not just 0:03:17.280 --> 0:03:20.680 putting them on our to do list, but putting them 0:03:20.720 --> 0:03:25.360 on our to love list every day? Are you loving 0:03:25.919 --> 0:03:29.880 the gifts that God has giving you? You See, children, 0:03:29.919 --> 0:03:32.800 the Bible says that they're a heritage, They're a gift 0:03:32.840 --> 0:03:36.160 from God. See, we're not just supposed to work for them. 0:03:36.840 --> 0:03:42.000 We're supposed to enjoy them. We're supposed to celebrate with them. 0:03:42.320 --> 0:03:47.400 Our spouses, they are a gift from God. They are 0:03:47.480 --> 0:03:51.800 someone to help us grow and learn and live life together. 0:03:52.640 --> 0:03:56.000 Are we putting them on our love list? Every single day? 0:03:57.080 --> 0:03:59.600 I've been married to Joel for thirty years, and I 0:03:59.640 --> 0:04:02.040 got to tell tell you this. I still have to 0:04:02.120 --> 0:04:06.160 remind myself is he on my love list? 0:04:07.280 --> 0:04:09.120 Because you know it's fine. 0:04:09.160 --> 0:04:11.880 At first, you can get all excited, you have a 0:04:11.880 --> 0:04:16.240 little goosebumps, everything is so wonderful. But as years go by, 0:04:16.360 --> 0:04:19.760 you have to continue to stir up the love and 0:04:19.800 --> 0:04:24.159 the excitement. I have to remind myself I cannot quit 0:04:24.520 --> 0:04:30.719 being Joel's biggest cheerleader. I can't quit telling him how 0:04:30.760 --> 0:04:33.880 proud I am of him, how. 0:04:33.720 --> 0:04:35.960 Excited I am that I'm his wife. 0:04:36.720 --> 0:04:39.760 I can't quit being my very best so that I'll 0:04:39.800 --> 0:04:43.080 reflect the very best on him. You see, one of 0:04:43.120 --> 0:04:46.040 the greatest ways to love each other is to live 0:04:46.080 --> 0:04:49.560 at our very best, to set the tone for the 0:04:49.640 --> 0:04:53.120 life we want to live. You see, you set the 0:04:53.160 --> 0:04:57.200 tone and the atmosphere for your life. 0:04:57.360 --> 0:04:59.000 You're not a thermometer. 0:05:00.000 --> 0:05:06.919 Thermometer measures the temperature, but a thermostat sets the temperature. 0:05:07.480 --> 0:05:08.760 It sets the tone. 0:05:09.200 --> 0:05:13.000 And God has empowered every one of us through his love, 0:05:13.240 --> 0:05:17.440 his grace, his mercy, to set the tone and the 0:05:17.480 --> 0:05:20.800 temperature for our life and for the lives of other 0:05:21.520 --> 0:05:25.000 it says in Hebrews ten twenty four let us consider 0:05:25.560 --> 0:05:30.040 how we may spur one another on towards love and 0:05:30.120 --> 0:05:34.280 good deeds. You see, if you can spur someone on 0:05:34.320 --> 0:05:38.960 in God's love, listen, those good deeds will follow. If 0:05:38.960 --> 0:05:43.600 you can strengthen them in God's love, then their life 0:05:43.760 --> 0:05:46.680 will become better. You see, it was the love that 0:05:46.760 --> 0:05:53.360 raised Jesus from the dead. Love is powerful. Love covers all. 0:05:53.560 --> 0:05:57.479 Love is the end all be all. When you don't 0:05:57.520 --> 0:06:01.719 know what to do, God is saying them anyway, just 0:06:01.880 --> 0:06:06.360 love them anyway, because it's a powerful force. He first 0:06:06.400 --> 0:06:10.480 loved us, so we can love others. So I think 0:06:10.520 --> 0:06:13.560 about that scripture and I think to myself, how can 0:06:13.600 --> 0:06:17.920 I spur my family on? I have to consider it. 0:06:18.480 --> 0:06:20.320 That means I have to meditate on it. I have 0:06:20.360 --> 0:06:22.640 to think about it. I can't do it the same 0:06:22.680 --> 0:06:25.760 way all the time. I don't put it on an autopilot. 0:06:25.800 --> 0:06:31.640 I consider, I meditate, I dwell what works best. 0:06:31.600 --> 0:06:32.560 In this situation. 0:06:34.320 --> 0:06:36.800 You know, when I think about how to spur or 0:06:37.000 --> 0:06:41.160 cheer someone on, I think about the attitude. 0:06:40.760 --> 0:06:41.680 Of a cheerleader. 0:06:42.160 --> 0:06:45.320 Okay, I was never a cheerleader in high school, although 0:06:45.360 --> 0:06:47.039 I wish I would have. I guess I missed my 0:06:47.160 --> 0:06:52.240 calling but I can be a cheerleader right here to 0:06:52.360 --> 0:06:55.440 my family. I can share them on. 0:06:57.800 --> 0:07:00.719 And it's not so much about raw raw raw. It's 0:07:00.760 --> 0:07:03.039 about an attitude. 0:07:03.160 --> 0:07:05.480 You think about being at the high school game and 0:07:05.520 --> 0:07:09.320 there's the cheerleader on the sidelines. What's the attitude of 0:07:09.320 --> 0:07:15.280 those cheerleaders. The attitude is a winning attitude. You see 0:07:15.640 --> 0:07:19.080 when the scoreboard is in their favor, palm palms are 0:07:19.200 --> 0:07:23.640 up and they are cheering their team on. When the 0:07:23.640 --> 0:07:27.360 scoreboard is down and their team is fumbling the ball 0:07:27.400 --> 0:07:29.360 and they don't seem to be able to get it together, 0:07:30.320 --> 0:07:34.840 their tone never changes. They have a winning tone, just 0:07:34.920 --> 0:07:41.680 a different chant. That's when you'll hear defense, defense, but 0:07:41.920 --> 0:07:45.920 their tone is still pointing the team towards winning. 0:07:46.840 --> 0:07:52.400 It's saying, hey, we can score, let's keep our spirits high. 0:07:52.880 --> 0:07:58.240 I have never ever seen the scoreboard down on the 0:07:58.960 --> 0:08:02.600 team that the cheerleaders we're rooting for. Man, the guys 0:08:02.640 --> 0:08:05.280 are fumbling the ball. It doesn't look good. The cheerleader 0:08:05.320 --> 0:08:08.200 puts your palm palms down, shakes her head, says, I'm 0:08:08.240 --> 0:08:13.320 out of here. I've never seen it. That's not the 0:08:13.360 --> 0:08:17.320 attitude of a cheerleader. A cheerleader knows how to keep 0:08:17.360 --> 0:08:21.040 the spirits up, but may chant a little different when 0:08:21.120 --> 0:08:27.080 need be, but always points their team to the winning goal. 0:08:27.960 --> 0:08:31.040 And that's what I want us to think about. What 0:08:31.200 --> 0:08:38.400 is your attitude towards those difficult situations when maybe your husband, 0:08:38.679 --> 0:08:41.280 your wife, your children, they don't seem to be able 0:08:41.320 --> 0:08:42.080 to get it together. 0:08:42.440 --> 0:08:45.199 Man, they keep fumbling the ball? What's going on? 0:08:46.040 --> 0:08:46.720 What do you do? 0:08:48.200 --> 0:08:50.360 What do you do when they do score? 0:08:51.160 --> 0:08:56.240 Do you take time to celebrate, to shout, to tell 0:08:56.280 --> 0:08:59.600 them how proud you are of them? You see, you 0:08:59.679 --> 0:09:02.840 got to keep this attitude in the good times and 0:09:02.920 --> 0:09:08.600 in the bad times. It's called consistency. And if we're 0:09:08.640 --> 0:09:12.520 gonna set the tone for our family and we're gonna. 0:09:12.240 --> 0:09:15.920 Create the life that we want to live with our family. 0:09:15.760 --> 0:09:18.360 We're gonna have to be consistent. We're gonna have to 0:09:18.440 --> 0:09:23.240 keep the tone of a winner. Listen, the last thing 0:09:23.280 --> 0:09:25.480 I want to hear when I'm fumbling the ball is 0:09:25.520 --> 0:09:26.360 what you do that for. 0:09:28.040 --> 0:09:28.760 Loser. 0:09:30.679 --> 0:09:33.480 I know that I'm fumbling the ball. I know that 0:09:33.520 --> 0:09:34.600 I haven't done well. 0:09:34.880 --> 0:09:35.680 I'm trying. 0:09:36.040 --> 0:09:39.120 I need someone to support me, to prop me up, 0:09:39.400 --> 0:09:40.319 to direct me. 0:09:40.640 --> 0:09:44.320 Towards the goal. I need to know that I can score. 0:09:45.280 --> 0:09:49.520 I don't need to be told that I'm fumbling the ball. 0:09:49.679 --> 0:09:51.240 I need someone there for me. 0:09:52.200 --> 0:09:54.840 It's interesting because the Bible says give to other people 0:09:54.840 --> 0:09:55.480 what you want. 0:09:56.600 --> 0:09:58.680 That's a good way to keep it all into. 0:09:58.480 --> 0:10:03.200 Perspective when you're facing difficulties, when you're facing difficult situations 0:10:03.240 --> 0:10:05.559 with family members. And I know there are some family 0:10:05.600 --> 0:10:08.400 members that seem to never be able to get it right. 0:10:08.920 --> 0:10:11.160 But can I tell you if you get it wrong, 0:10:11.200 --> 0:10:12.560 it's not going to change a thing. 0:10:13.679 --> 0:10:16.920 If you decide to tell them how bad they are, that's. 0:10:16.720 --> 0:10:19.920 Not going to change a thing. But if you'll get 0:10:19.920 --> 0:10:23.000 this tone, this winning tone, right, you have a better 0:10:23.080 --> 0:10:25.800 chance of propping them up and helping them. 0:10:26.320 --> 0:10:30.240 You see, it's our response. Are we walking in a 0:10:30.280 --> 0:10:33.600 place of peace? Where do we get that peace? We 0:10:33.679 --> 0:10:36.160 get it from God. You know what I said before, 0:10:36.200 --> 0:10:39.280 We get everything from God. We can only live this 0:10:39.360 --> 0:10:42.000 life in victory by getting it from God. 0:10:43.240 --> 0:10:45.800 You see, He's giving it to us so. 0:10:45.800 --> 0:10:47.120 That we can give it to others. 0:10:47.920 --> 0:10:50.640 I realized when my daughter was about eight years old 0:10:50.960 --> 0:10:53.800 how important my response was. 0:10:54.640 --> 0:10:57.200 That it's set the tone for what would go on. 0:10:58.240 --> 0:11:00.640 Joel, I think it was his maybe his first book 0:11:00.720 --> 0:11:04.840 or second book, and we were as a family traveling 0:11:04.880 --> 0:11:07.440 all over the country. The publisher had set all of 0:11:07.440 --> 0:11:10.520 these books signings up in different dates, and so they 0:11:10.520 --> 0:11:12.880 had chartered us a little plane, and we were going 0:11:12.920 --> 0:11:15.800 all over the country. Sometimes we would be in three 0:11:15.800 --> 0:11:18.880 different states in one day, and so we have always 0:11:18.920 --> 0:11:21.320 done this ministry as a family. So we had I 0:11:21.360 --> 0:11:23.319 had my little eight year old girl in my little 0:11:23.600 --> 0:11:26.720 my probably about eleven year old son, and so we'd 0:11:26.760 --> 0:11:29.600 probably go into our second state. And it was the 0:11:29.640 --> 0:11:31.839 middle of the day and we were going in this 0:11:31.880 --> 0:11:34.160 little plane and my eight year old daughter, Alexander, was 0:11:34.160 --> 0:11:35.920 sitting across from me, and we were just kind of 0:11:35.920 --> 0:11:38.600 hanging chilling a little bit, when all of a sudden, 0:11:39.000 --> 0:11:45.719 the oxygen masks falls from the ceiling and I just panicked. 0:11:45.760 --> 0:11:51.160 Big old eyes, huge gasp. I was like, we're dead. 0:11:53.480 --> 0:11:55.120 My little eight year old girl didn't know what was 0:11:55.160 --> 0:11:59.400 going on, but the tone setter was panicking. The mom 0:11:59.520 --> 0:12:04.640 and the munch was freaking out, so she immediately began 0:12:04.760 --> 0:12:08.640 to cry, just ball. All of a sudden she saw 0:12:08.760 --> 0:12:11.800 me and it just let go of an emotion of 0:12:11.920 --> 0:12:17.480 this is a bad situation, and I realized, Wow, I 0:12:17.640 --> 0:12:20.920 just set the tone for her. 0:12:21.960 --> 0:12:25.040 She was looking at me, and I set the. 0:12:24.920 --> 0:12:31.440 Tone for panic, for fear, for difficulty, for doubt, for unbelief. 0:12:32.600 --> 0:12:34.800 If I would have sat there and kept my cool 0:12:34.920 --> 0:12:38.080 and thought, you know what, if I scream, it's not 0:12:38.120 --> 0:12:41.400 gonna keep this plane in the air, If I freak out, 0:12:41.520 --> 0:12:44.480 it's not gonna change anything. If I could have just 0:12:45.040 --> 0:12:49.480 realized that my response made all the difference in the world. Now, 0:12:49.520 --> 0:12:52.440 Needless to say, the pilot came up and said, sorry, 0:12:52.480 --> 0:12:54.920 a little bit of a malfunction as he crammed the 0:12:54.960 --> 0:12:57.440 thing back up in the ceiling, thanked God in heaven. 0:12:57.520 --> 0:13:01.240 I was like, oh, but it showed me my. 0:13:01.280 --> 0:13:02.640 Response is powerful. 0:13:03.480 --> 0:13:07.040 And I tell that little story to say, your response 0:13:07.160 --> 0:13:10.960 is powerful whether your child is eight years old, eighteen 0:13:11.080 --> 0:13:15.760 years old, or thirty eight years old. Your response, you 0:13:16.000 --> 0:13:21.360 set the tone. It's powerful. When I call my mom 0:13:21.440 --> 0:13:24.760 on the phone to this day, she literally has the 0:13:24.920 --> 0:13:28.760 power to set the tone for me, whether I like 0:13:28.840 --> 0:13:32.760 it or not. There's a powerful thing because it's called 0:13:32.760 --> 0:13:36.920 the anointing of being a parent. It's just the way 0:13:37.000 --> 0:13:40.720 God made it. So I want to remind you today 0:13:40.800 --> 0:13:45.319 and myself, are we going to celebrate in the good times, 0:13:45.720 --> 0:13:48.520 and are we going to keep that winning spirit in 0:13:48.600 --> 0:13:52.839 the difficult times. See, it's all about our tone, it's 0:13:52.880 --> 0:13:55.959 all about the temperature. It's all about the winning spirit. 0:13:56.040 --> 0:13:58.719 And I believe if we will do that and we 0:13:58.840 --> 0:14:01.280 get that from God, we're going to set the tone 0:14:01.559 --> 0:14:04.319 and have a great life, not only for ourselves but 0:14:04.360 --> 0:14:07.439 for our families. Listen, if you want to pray right now, 0:14:07.600 --> 0:14:09.320 put your hand up in their because I'm will pray 0:14:09.320 --> 0:14:11.000 for our families here at Lakewood Church. 0:14:11.120 --> 0:14:13.280 I believe that we are. 0:14:13.160 --> 0:14:15.480 Going to have strong families, that we're going to continue 0:14:15.559 --> 0:14:18.760 to have strong families.
