  Speaker 1: Nobody, and I do mean nobody. Does it like your
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: early voting praise party. I am a Sherry Mackie at
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: his time right now for today's word, the procession of purpose,
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: the procession of purpose, the Bible says in Matthew twenty
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: one and nine, Blessed is he who comes in the
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: name of the Lord. Yesterday we celebrated Palm's Sunday in
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: our churches. On Palm's Sunday, Jesus entered Jerusalem to cheers,
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: to celebration, to praise. The crowd laid down palm bract
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: just shouting Hosanna. It looked like a moment of victory,
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: and it was, but not in the way they expected.
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: Those same people, the very same people who celebrated him,
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: would soon turn on him. See this reminds us that
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: purpose is not always paved with constant or consistent applause.
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: Sometimes God will call you to walk through seasons where
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: people totally misunderstand you, where your support seems to fade,
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: and where the journey just feels lonely. But you know what,
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: Jesus didn't stop when the praise turned into pressure. He
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: stayed committed to his assignment. He knew what his purpose
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: was and he was determined to live out and walk
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: out that purpose. And that's the challenge for you, that's
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: the challenge for me today. Will we stay faithful when
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: the crowd changes. Don't build your identity on people's opinions
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: or they can shift over night. Instead, stay grounded and
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: God's purpose for your life, if he called you to it,
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, he will sustain you even when the
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: road of heads leads to sacrifice. You need to know
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: and you need to understand this. God is still working
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: his plan in your life, for your life, through your life.
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: Oh Father, God, thank you for calling us according to
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: your purpose. Help us God to stay faithful, whether we're
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: being celebrated or whether we're being misunderstand God, we trust
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: that your plan is so much greater than people's opinions.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: In Jesus' name, Now that's your word for today. Take
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: that word, apply it to your everyday life, and you
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: continue to be encouraged and inspired. You're inside your earlybody
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: praise party with me, your girl, Sherry Mackie, reminding you
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: about the procession of purpose and reminding you to walk
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: in your purpose regardless of the cheering crowd.
