Many of us have to fake being holy. How you doing? I'm blessed and highly favored. I'm blessed and never stressed. No, that's faking it. But when it's really in your heart, you're be in H E B and folks will see holiness all over you. You see, some of us been in church for a long time, and still it's hard for some of us to forgive our enemies. It's still hard for many of us to apply Matthew five. Pray for those who despitefully persecute you. Mom showed us, watch this, the older you become, the sweeter you ought to become. The older you get, you should get sweeter.

Philippi wasn't just a city, it was a proud Roman colony established after battle after the battle of Philippi. Paul wanted the Philippians to stop defining themselves by culture, by status, and by earthly system. So here is Paul confronted a deep issue, where you are versus who you belong to. So the believers in Philippi live on Roman soil under the Roman rule and surrounded by Roman culture. But Paul says, don't let where you live determine who are you loyal to. Don't allow your current address shape your allegiance. [01:10:24] (52 seconds)  #LoyaltyOverLocation

Mom showed us this morning that church wasn't just a noun, it was a verb. Church wasn't just a building, it was her behavior. She didn't just go to church. She was church. Yes. Kind spirit. Yes. Gentle speech. Faithful service. Her life preached louder than her lips. The fruit of the spirit is right here because when you have heaven in your heart, holiness should be your habit. When you have heaven in your heart, holiness should be in our habit because holiness is not a choice. It's a command. Yeah. And when holiness is not a habit, if holiness is a habit, you don't have to fake it. [01:17:16] (68 seconds)  #BeTheChurch

Because power doesn't just tell us where we would belong. He doesn't just tell us how we should behave. He tell us what we should be believing because the text says from which also we eagerly wait for Jesus Christ. The believer are not just saved. We are expecting, anticipating, and awaiting for Christ's return. In other words, our hope is coming again. And one day, Jesus is returning for his people. That's right. Titus two and thirteen, we are looking for that blessed hope. John 14 reminds us, I will come again and receive you unto myself. [01:20:31] (56 seconds)  #BlessedHope

And when the cousins came over, we used to make pallets on the floor. Yeah. She lived during this time. But through it all, she kept her mind on Jesus. Come to Colossians three and two. Set your affections on thing above. And that is exactly what mom did. Yes. She had many trials, but she didn't lose her testimony. Yes. She had burdens, but burdens did not break her down because when you know where you belong, you don't break down what you're going through. Yeah. Come on. See, most of us break down before a breakthrough, but mama didn't. [01:14:13] (47 seconds)  #EyesOnHeaven

That's what that's why John 17 says that we are in the world, but not of the world. You are citizenship. Your real citizenship is from heaven. And after ninety six years, mom showed us how to live and lean on god. Yes, sir. Yes, she resided on Earth but she make she but she remained rooted in heaven. Ninety six years, only four years away from a century. She walked through segregation Yes, sir. But she stayed sanctified. She lived through trouble but trusted in the trinity.

And you see, I couldn't go to Astroworld alone. In order for me to go to Astroworld, my parents had to sign a permission slip. And it doesn't matter how much fun I was having. I had to return back home. Three things, and we're eat some chicken. The first thing we see, we see heavenly citizenship where you belong. Heavily citizenship where you belong. See, Paul writes in Philippian in this text that our citizenship is in heaven and that word citizenship carry a weight, a lot of weight in Philippi. [01:09:38] (46 seconds)  #HeavenIsMyAddress

As a child in elementary, I attended the historic Burris Elementary down the street because I grew up in this neighborhood, and I cherish many memories while attending Burris. Just a few come to mind. I remember going to the sock hop. Kids don't know what sock hops are. I remember writing the girls letters. If you like me, circle yes. Help me, holy spirit, or circle no. I remember going to the spring May faith festival in the springtime. But most of all, Boris, I remember because I had perfect attendance my entire tenure at Boris.
