Vision Sunday 2025 Part 1 | Apostle Mike Signorelli

Well, hey, my name is Mike Signorelli, and I'm the apostle over

this work.

It's a move.

It's a move of God in the earth as we're breaking hard territories

and we are launching and planting churches and making disciples

that make disciples.

And it is just an absolutely absolute honor and privilege to be

with you today.

And, you know, today's going to be exciting.

And so I'm just going to ju right in, and we're going to be looking

@ Joshua, chapter one, verses one through nine.

And this is a very prophetic message for all of us.

If you're watching this right now, I just want to remind you that

the Bible is not the story of what happened.

It's the story of what always happens.

And although God was talking to the people of Israel in these

passages, I believe it displays his heart for all of his

people.

And I believe that it gives us a picture into the attributes of

God concerning our life.

And we're not Joshua, but I believe that we are a Joshua people.

And we're not going into a physical Canaan.

But I do believe that we are to go into a spiritual Canaan and

to subdue and take territory and to obtain all that God has for

us in our generations for the glory and honor of God.

I believe that we need to build more churches.

I believe that we need to have schools that actually teach not the

doctrines of demons, but the word of God.

I.

I believe that we have to have thriving young adults ministries

and thriving teen ministries and thriving churches.

And I.

Come on.

So although this is about physical Canaan, how many of you

believe that there is a promised land here on earth?

Jesus said, thy will be done, your kingdom come, God, your will

be done on earth as it is in heaven.

And so the gospel is not an escape plan to get to heaven.

The gospel is God's plan to bring heaven to earth.

Oh, so we are to colonize, colonize all of the different places

that we live with the culture of heaven.

Christian businesses, Christian schools, Christian like

to colonize to say, God, your kingdom come right here in this.

In this environment.

So I want to read this because it's a very prophetic message.

So let's just reverence the reading of the word.

Joshua, chapter one, verses one through nine.

After the death of Moses, the servant of the lord, the lord said

to Joshua, the son of nun Moses, assistant, how many of you

know that God will take you from being the number two to make

you the number one?

Joshua was the assistant who ended up becoming the leader.

There's an incredible lesson about how you should never be put

in authority until you've been under authority.

There's an incredible lesson.

And that God will start you as an assistant and then move you up.

And so there's something about this message just in the first verse.

It's so powerful.

And it says in verse 2, Moses, my servant, is dead.

Now therefore arise.

Go over this Jordan, you and all this people.

Somebody say all this people.

If you want to go fast, go alone.

If you want to go far, go together.

All the people.

Come on.

Tell your neighbor at every location you're going with me.

Come on.

When you used to sin, you didn't sin alone.

You brought your friends with you to sin.

Come on, we're all going to do this.

We're all taking a shot.

We're all smoking it.

We're all going to do.

We're all going to Cancun.

Come on.

Well, we're all going to the promised land now.

We're all going to get sober now.

We're all going to get delivered now.

We're all going to get free.

Come on, somebody tell your neighbor we're all going to Canaan.

Okay?

If you want to go fast, go alone.

If you want to go far, go together.

Come on, we're all doing this thing now.

Praise God.

Did that really happen?

We're all sitting in the dark here on Long Island.

Okay, Then it says this.

Every place that the sole of your foot will tread upon, I will

give it to you.

Somebody say, he's given it to me.

Now there is going to be a fight.

But you're not fighting for the victory.

You're fighting from the place of victory.

You're fighting to enforce what was already given to you.

You're not fighting to obtain it.

You've already inherited it.

But you have to enforce what you've inherited.

This is the real understanding of spiritual warfare.

And because there's going to be warfare.

And then it says, verse 4.

From the wilderness of this Lebanon as far as the great river,

the river Euphrates, and then the land of the Hittites, to the

great sea toward the going down of the sun shall be your territory.

Verse 5.

No man shall be able to stand before you all the days of your life.

Oh, I like that.

No man will be able to listen.

Man can't stop you because man didn't start you.

Man can't cancel you because man didn't call you.

Man can't take your gift because they didn't give the gift.

God Almighty, if he gave it he's going to see it through.

And that's our promise.

Ain't no man going to be able to stop us on Long Island.

No man can stop us in Miami.

No man can stop us in New Jersey.

No man.

Come on.

Because God started this thing.

He puts a provision on it, and he will see it through until completion.

People will be like, but do you know how hard Miami is?

I don't care.

That is my land flowing with milk and honey.

I don't need the mayor's permission, because I got permission

from the one above the mayor.

The king is the one calling the shots.

And he'll give me favor with.

Do you know how hard it is to get a building on Long Island?

No, it's harder to have unbelief.

But if you will believe, God will make the impossible possible.

We're crossing the River Jordan together, y'all.

But this is what it says.

It says, Verse 6.

Be strong and courageous, for you shall cause those people to inherit

the land.

Sounds like a book somebody wrote.

Inherit, inherit the land that I swore.

Now, here's the point, though, and I want Brooklyn to hear me say

this, because Brooklyn is way too quiet.

This is why I need you to hear.

You need me to say this.

I need to hear you through the screen right now.

He says, be courageous, for you shall inherit the land that I

swore to your fathers.

See, what happens is there are things that were supposed to come

in the generation before us, and it feels like delay, but it actually

wasn't delay.

It was laziness.

See, because it was going to take us moving, walking in, stepping

in, putting.

You know, God doesn't bless our butt prints.

He blesses our footprints.

And God will drag you only so far.

But you gotta get up and walk this thing out.

You gotta walk, y'all.

I just started working out again last week, and I came limping

into service today.

I was like, Lord Jesus.

But the thing that I want to get across to you is that there are

things that were supposed to get to the generations.

And it's not that they didn't have access, it's that they didn't

take action.

And so action gives you the access, like the Lord gives you permission,

but your action is how you unlock it.

And what he was simply saying, saying was, Moses could have had

this, but he didn't go all the way.

And so this is.

This is going to take action.

And then this is what it says.

Verse 8.

This book of the law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall

meditate on it.

Day and night.

Now, let me talk about the implication of that.

Reading scripture, meditating on it day and night has to become

who you are.

The book of law.

What does that mean?

Jesus said, I didn't come to abolish the law.

I came to fulfill it.

So what does that mean?

It means that we have to understand the word of God and meditate

on it day and night.

As a matter of fact, confusion is coming.

More confusion is coming.

I don't know if you know this, but another pandemic is coming.

I know you're not ready for it.

I know some of you think I'm a conspiracy theorist, but I'm telling

you, I'm a prophet, and I'm trying to prepare you.

It's like what happens in life is you come out of a storm and you

go into another storm.

This is life.

And so I know some.

Some of you want to get into the fetal position right now.

And you're like, pastor Mike, please be one of those.

Please be Joel Osteen.

Can you encourage us this morning?

Please tell us everything's going to be all right.

Everything's going to be all right.

See, Jesus was sleeping in the midst of the storm.

It's not the absence of the storm.

It's his presence in the midst of the storm.

And God will use another pandemic to get you to where he was

trying to get you during the first pandemic.

He told you to start the business.

He told you to step in.

He told you to write the book.

He told you to start doing that thing.

And what happened was, every travesty is an opportunity for a

next level.

But why do I say this?

I say this because he has to tell Joshua.

Have I not commanded you?

Be strong and courageous.

Do not be frightened and do not be dismayed.

For the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.

Now, listen, when God has to do, tell you more than once not to

be afraid, you better buckle up.

You better put your helmet on.

You better.

You better oil up your shield.

If the Lord tells you multiple times, be courageous.

He's trying to prepare you.

And so this vision Sunday is a preparation.

But I've got good news for you.

The giants in Canaan are big, but so are the grapes.

I got good news for you.

The provision is there.

It's flowing with milk and honey.

I got good news for you.

None of these things that are inhabiting the land that we're going

to possess are greater than our God.

And we will lay hold of it, and Jericho's walls will fall and

we will have the marriages God destined for us.

And our kids will walk in purity and righteousness, and our

finances will flow, and we will be a benefit to the nations.

And we will walk out the fullness of the problem.

So I say to every uncircumcised Philistine, the people

of God are getting ready to move into Canaan, and you will not

stop us this time in 20.

So this is Vision Sunday.

And, you know, I just want to break this down for you as we kind

of go through some of these big announcements.

But if you look at this, you know, what is V1?

The number one question that we get asked is, what does V1?

Is it victory one?

Is it vision one?

Is it what?

What is V1?

What does V1 church mean?

And I want to explain to you what V1 means to get us all on the

same page today, because you may or may not know this story.

So I started preaching.

Now, by the way, I want to do this.

I've got one of my first Bibles.

Now, by the way, this was my first first Bible, and I still have

it.

And I was given this Bible when I was in elementary school.

And you'll notice there's no cover.

And you'll notice black electric tape.

Because I have read every page of this version of the Bible many,

many times.

And what I liked about it is it had pictures, and so Abraham gets

a new name.

And this is Genesis 13 through 17.

And I would read this.

Look at it, the COVID This is my first Bible as.

And so in elementary school, I read this many times.

Then when I became 15.

And I want to show this.

I want to get this on video for those that challenge the timeline

of my life.

For all the Investigators, this is 1998.

Now, this is a letter my mother wrote me.

And I want you to do the math.

Now go to my Wikipedia page and you see when I was born.

And then you do the math on 1998.

Now, people are going to say this is AI doing this presentation

or that this is fake.

And I wrote this in there and dated it because it's never enough

for the investigators.

But let me just show you 1998.

My mom said I had the privilege of watching you preach

your first sermon.

I was 15 years old, and this Bible was a gift to me to inaugurate

the beginning of my ministry as I started to preach all over.

And I.

And this is called a Dake Annotated.

And this thing is wild.

I dare you to read this.

Now I'm going to Open this one up and show you what this.

Now, there are no pictures in this one like that.

Oh, look, it's highlighted.

It's almost like I've read every page of it.

And this gives you the Greek because, yes, I do understand the

Greek.

I'm getting straight A's in my master's program right now, by the

way.

Talk to my professors.

And I highlighted this and read it for years.

It has the Greek, Hebrew, and it goes in the historic count.

And there's four columns on every page, and the middle two are

the Scriptures and King James, by the way.

And you know a real saint when they start throwing the King James

around.

And I read every page of this, and I feasted on this Word and I

go back to.

I kind of find my way going back.

And look, somebody's life is not falling apart if their Bible

is.

And then when I launched this church, this was the Bible that I

launched the church with.

And I don't know why I was.

I thought it would be cool to have a little Bible.

This was the counterbalance to this.

And I read this Bible, I mean, through and through.

And I would take this Bible to the shores of Williamsburg, Brooklyn,

and every single week, I would get alone and I would take this book

out in every weather, and I would look out to New York City,

I would look out into Manhattan, and I would read this

and I would say, God, what would you say to your people?

And this was when we only had one location of the church.

And I launched three locations of the church with this Bible.

And every page just poured over this.

Matter of fact, this is the Message version.

And this actually, to go from King James to Message was an indicator

of who I was leading.

And it was because the people of Long island were new to the Word.

And I was going back and I was saying, okay, Lord, how do I make

this make sense to them?

And so I got a modern English vernacular version so that I could

serve the people of Long island better.

And I read this.

So I have read the Bible.

And I'm not saying this in any way to peacock or to puff myself

up, but these are just three of my Bibles.

And I've read the Bible, Genesis to Revelation many, many

times, and I get a new revelation every single time.

But I say that because as I started my ministry, I.

You know, I've been a preacher, I've been an evangelist,

I've been a prophet, and I've been many things.

I was a worship leader.

Sometimes I wish I still was only a worship leader.

I Used to think that season was so hard, and now I'm like, lord,

please bring it back.

Just let me only play the guitar and, you know, rock out every

week instead of all this.

And so I've been through many different seasons, but when the Lord

called me to plant a church, I was going through a very hard time

wrestling with it because the Lord specifically told me to uproot

my family and move to New York.

And specifically he said New York City.

And so the story goes that I didn't want to go to New York.

I wanted to be sent.

Because all the times I've read the Bible, from when I was a

little kid all the way till now, I've noticed there's two kinds

of people in the Bible.

Those who do something, and those who are told to do something.

And those who do something always get shut down by God.

And then those who are.

Who do what they're told by God always end up getting the blessing

and favor of God in their life, even in the midst of persecution.

And so it was very important that I didn't come to New York City

because I felt like it, because I wanted to be cool, because

I thought it was better than Northwest Indiana.

It was important that I was sent to New York, which means a group

of apostolic leaders believed in the vision that God gave me, and

they were backing me and holding me accountable to that.

And so I did that.

But before I did that, there was a moment where I was at a church

planning conference.

And at that time, I had made, you know, just.

I was the executive pastor.

I was a number two, like a Joshua, an assistant.

I was an assistant to Moses, and I was number two at a large church.

And I made $330 a week after taxes, and I tithed off of that,

and I gave offerings.

And I lived in a little apartment down by the river.

It was in Chesterton, Indiana.

There was a train that went through.

And every time the train would go through, it would rattle my entire

apartment.

And I'd be like, well, I wonder why the rent is so cheap.

Because all night long.

And Everly was a baby.

And so, like, you know, that place would wait, it would rock.

And Everly was a baby, and she'd wake up, and she's never stopped

crying since that day.

And so, you know, and I think there was something about being back

in Northwest Indiana and yet and having a family and knowing that

I was just down the street from where I used to own a home.

I felt ashamed that I wasn't a good enough provider for My family.

And I knew I was in the will of God, but I felt ashamed because

I had two value systems.

And I want to say this to everybody.

Across all six locations, you got to determine are you going to

serve God or serve Mammon?

Because Mammon is the demonic system of finances.

And there's so many people that they really don't serve God.

They actually like the number one slot is Mammon, which is finances,

and God is number two still.

And so I was really wrestling between God and Mammon and I just

felt bad.

And so we went to this conference by my apostolic oversight.

And I said, julie, I'm just going to quit ministry and I'm gonna

start my businesses back up and we're just gonna live a good

life.

And you know, I'm sorry I did this to us.

I'm sorry that we live down by the river.

I'm sorry that the train comes all through the night and wakes us

up.

And I just was like deeply repentant as a husband.

Cause I felt like my priority to provide for my family, I was not

doing that as well as I should.

And Julie put her lovingly, put her hand on my shoulder and said,

mike, you know, we are going to plant a church in New York City.

And now that's like the Hallmark movie moment.

And all of you here are probably thinking, man, I wish I

had a spouse that supported me like that.

But in the moment, it didn't even work.

And I was like, julie, just leave me alone.

I'm tired of that Pentecostal spirit filled crap.

Don't tell me it's going to be okay.

I'm tired of this.

And this leader fell and this leader did me dirty.

And this.

I'm like, you know how it is.

So I go to the conference.

I'm walking around this whole conference looking at these guys,

hey, what's up my.

You know, because all the church planters had the same haircut,

they all wearing skinny jeans, they all wearing bomber jackets.

It was like a starter kit back then.

You know, it's like, you buy your church planter starter kit.

They all had their Nikes, the Pandas.

You know, it's just like, what's up, man?

What's up, bro Systems?

Yeah, you know, that was the whole church planner world.

So I'm seeing all these guys and they're all second generation

ministries with dads that are going to fund their church and all

this stuff.

And I was just like in the worst mood.

And then we get to the end of the day and when we get to the end

of the day, the last session was this guy, Juan Veriken, and Juan

Varikin was.

He is still.

He's the number two for the John Maxwell organization over all

of Latin America.

And he gets up there and he gets to the end of his message, and

he said, this morning, I was in prayer, and I got this prophetic

word.

I could hear this husband and wife in a car having a conversation

in a parking lot, in our parking lot.

And I start freaking out because the first thing I think is,

I can't get away with nothing.

Anybody else like that.

Where it's like, you just.

The Lord, there's something on your life and you have friends.

Everybody can get away with it except for you.

And you try to run from it.

And the Lord's just like, yeah, keep playing games.

I'm coming for you.

That's me.

That is me.

So all of a sudden, when he said there was a husband and wife

having a conversation in the parking lot, the first thing I thought,

lord, you can't let me.

I can't do nothing.

Then all of a sudden he said, and I heard them.

And it was like the husband was trying to give up the vision.

The husband was trying.

And the Lord says, you will do the vision.

You will do what God called you to do.

And he's saying that from the stage.

And I'm feeling the presence of God.

And he says, it's time to go V1.

Now, I didn't know what V1 meant.

And he begins to explain it on stage.

And he said, I was in an airplane with John Maxwell.

It was a private jet.

And he said, as the plane took off the Runway, the moment we got

off the Runway, I heard the pilot say, V1.

So when we got to cruising altitude, I walked up to the cockpit

and I said, hey, I got a question.

What does V1 mean, out of curiosity?

And he said, oh, we have to calculate the distance of the Runway.

So when you get to the end of the Runway, that's called V1.

It's the decision speed.

And what it means is this thing is going to fly whether the

end, there's engine failure, if the tire blows out, this thing,

the force of nature has taken over because the plane's going too

fast.

It has to take off.

It's the decision speed.

You cannot abort takeoff.

And the Lord was saying through him, it's time to go v1.

You cannot abort takeoff.

It's time to fly, man.

Crazy.

And he's like, it's time.

He's literally screaming this, if that's you, grab your wife's hand

if you were the person in the car.

And I grabbed Julie's hand, you know, and I'm just bawling my

eyes out now.

And I'm like, I'm so stupid.

God, please.

And all of a sudden, he's like, let me pray for you.

It's time to go v1.

So it sealed it.

Then all of a sudden, we come walking out in the parking lot, and

Julie's looking at me like, you idiot.

You're like.

She has that look like, I told you.

I told you.

So I look back at her and I said, well, because we didn't have

a name for our church yet, because we've been telling people

we were going to move to New York to plant a church.

And they said, well, what's the name?

And I would say, I don't know yet.

God hasn't given me a name.

So I turned to Julie and I said, well, you know the name of

our church now, it's got to be V1 church.

So for those of you who've never heard the meaning of the name,

and there's many that haven't, I want to re pour that vision.

It is the point of no return.

It is we.

This thing is going to fly.

It is V1.

That's what it means.

No turning back.

Somebody shout, no turning back.

Now, we're eight years into this thing, and we planted seven

locations.

But let me just tell you this.

There's been many other times I've wanted to quit.

Some of y'all have made me want to quit.

I'm telling you straight up, you're the reason.

It's like a mom, you know, I feel like a mom and a dad.

Like, y'all are the reason I want to quit now.

And there's been many times where I've wanted to give up.

But.

But the thing about V1, it's a perpetual commitment to no turning

back.

Joshua and Caleb, they had to make a decision to go V1.

And this is.

It means to give yes completely.

So will you turn to the person next to you and say, will you give

your yes?

Come on.

Turn on the other side and ask him, will you give your yes?

Okay, now I want you to ask him again another way.

Ask them this.

Will you give your yes completely?

Come on, now.

Ask the other person again.

Will you give your yes completely?

Come on.

Because there's a difference between giving a yes and giving a

yes completely.

There's a lot of times people give their yes, but they don't give

it completely.

In numbers chapter 13 and 14, it's like Joshua and Caleb were the

Numbers 13 · chapter mention

only two that gave their yes completely.

It wasn't a maybe, it was a yes completely.

So on my worst days over the last eight years, I've said, God,

I give you my yes completely.

So if you're taking notes, I want you to write this down.

In order to go v1, you need a ground crew and you need a flight

crew and you need fuel.

We're going to learn how to fly today.

You need a ground crew, you need a flight crew and you need fuel

and so let's talk about a ground crew.

Let me talk about the ground crew because we're about to take

flight.

So yeah, check this out.

No turning back.

Oh, I like that.

I like that.

Come on.

So In Romans chapter 12, verse 13, it says, Contribute to the needs

Romans 12:13

of the saints and seek to show them hospitality.

So here's what a ground crew is.

It's the person opening up their home early on a Sunday morning

in Canada for a watch party.

It's the person opening their home for a watch party fueled by

the hospitality that they see.

Modeled in Romans chapter 12, verse 13.

Romans 12:13

What else is a ground crew?

It's the person driving across Long island to open up this storage

closet and pull out the kids equipment and begin to set things

up.

What is a ground crew?

It's the person brewing coffee to hand it to a first time guest

who was nervous about walking through the doors.

What is a ground crew?

It's the members that facilitate the environments we're

healing and deliverance from demons and salvation and biblical

formation begin to happen.

In Joshua chapter six it says they are like the ones who prepared

the way for Joshua to conquer Jericho.

They may not be on the front lines, but they play this very vital

role in God's plan.

So Joshua was, was the leader, but, but there were those that had

to march around those walls and they were saying, we're doing

our part, we're all going to make a noise, we're all going to

blow our trumpet.

When it comes time, we're all going to do what God's called us

to do.

And that ground crew was on the ground of Jericho.

And as they all marched around those walls, when it came time to

make their sound, those walls came down.

We need a ground crew.

Every airport has a ground crew.

And no, no plane goes into the air without the ground crew.

We need ground crews in Brooklyn that will take the subway

and they'll get out on their station and walk to that venue and

open up the doors and plug everything in.

And they're the ones that facilitate all the ministry that

happens where the walls begin to fall down.

Are y'all with me?

And so we need to fl.

We need a ground crew.

And if you're in the dream team, you're the ground crew.

And you're the ones who say, now, when I first moved here, I remember

saying, I have a vision where people are going to wake up at five

in the morning and they're going to get all showered and dressed,

and then they're going to come and they're going to load in at a

movie theater and set it all up.

And all the pastors out here said, bro, you're from the Midwest.

That's Midwest stuff.

That's Bible Belt stuff.

That doesn't happen on Long Island.

I said, watch me.

And I have an acronym in my book called.

I have a book called.

What's it called?

From Chaos to Clarity.

No Turning Back's the subtitle.

And it was called Go V1, but I changed it.

And then this is where I'm drawing a lot of this.

What we're talking about and what I told people is there's an

acronym for haters.

Having anger towards everyone.

Having anger towards everyone.

What's the R?

Something Success.

And it's like, as you begin to achieve success.

Yeah.

Realizing success.

I think it is whoever read the book, stand up and shout it out.

But what will happen is as you start to move in the direction of

kingdom success, you're going to have haters.

And one of the things that we learned very early on is even when

our church was 50 people, we had haters.

Some people are like, I don't know if I can go to V1 church.

I can't stand seeing the way they talk about Pastor Eddie.

I'm like, well, guess what?

If you achieve your destiny, they're going to be talking about

you too.

I don't like the way they talk about Pastor Sandra.

I love her.

Guess what?

You're the next Sandra.

And when you rise up to accomplish what God has for you,

they're going to be talking about you.

And so it's like, anybody that realizes success and reaching success,

praise God.

Having anger towards everyone, reaching success, those are haters.

It's like it makes them angry for you.

Why?

But let me tell you the secret.

It was when I came to Long island and said, I can get a group

of people that will wake up and get dressed and come early to

set everything up.

I didn't realize it.

They weren't actually mad at me.

I was disturbing their comfort level.

And they had convinced themselves that they couldn't have

a revival on Long island.

And I was coming and disrupting these lies that they've.

And they were telling themselves, let's just readjust our

expectation.

Then when I came to New York City to plan our first church, all

the New York City pastors said, hey, I just want to set your

expectation.

You'll only get one thing done a week if your church exceeds.

Tim Keller's team told me, and by the way, Tim Keller's church was

a 5,000 person church.

And they told me, and I honor them, but they told me, if you achieve

100 people in New York City, your church is thriving.

And I said, but you've achieved 5,000.

Teach me how to do that.

And they're like, well, no, but that's a special grace from God.

Okay, get the anointing oil out and put it on me.

Like, I want to be special because I can't live in a city with

10 million people and only surrender to 100 is thriving.

And so the reason why I say this, but what it was like me believing

for more disrupted the bubble.

So some of you don't realize they don't hate you.

They hate the inconvenience that your dreams cause.

They don't hate you.

They hate the fact that you're disrupting the lies that they believed.

And so guess what?

I'm thankful for all the ground crew that showed up that said,

pastor Mike, we're just as crazy as you, and we used to be out

in the clubs until 6am so surely we can wake up at 5am and

set up in a movie theater and a nightclub.

And we're the wild ones.

And your ground crew is here.

Let's take flight.

Let's get this thing up off the ground.

And eight years later, we're still setting up.

But now we're setting up in six physical locations around the

U.S.

we're still waking up early and going to bed late because this

thing is not stopping.

Come on.

So we need a ground crew that says, I'm wild and I'm not going

to do more for mammon than I will for God.

And if I do it for money, I'll do it for ministry.

If I would wake up early for money, I'll wake up early for ministry.

Y'all feel me?

Okay, I'm talking to the 9am so they're like, chill.

We just moved to your next point.

We're at the 9am we get it.

So then you need a flight crew.

Everybody say flight crew.

What is a flight crew?

A flight crew is necessary.

So on every airplane, they have a flight crew, and you need

a flight crew on that airplane.

And this is what a flight crew is.

A flight crew is the people driving to a Panera restaurant and

pushing the tables together so that when the rest of the group arrives,

married couples can find healing together.

This is.

This is what a flight crew is.

It's.

Man, I just want to shout out, man, come on, we got RJ and this

guy.

I mean, he is multiplying marriage groups out of his marriage

group.

And you rewind.

Not only has God restored his marriage, but then he actually leads

a flight crew where he's saying, your marriage has taken flight,

too.

And their biggest problem is, Pastor Mike, how do we multiply more

marriage groups?

So these are flight crews.

It's the people in a Brooklyn apartment, the young people who are

breaking bread, and they're praying for each other as they journey

through young adulthood together.

That's a flight crew.

They're taking flight together.

They're holding each other accountable.

They're praying for each other.

It's the people in Zoom that are meeting across countries, and

they're taking turns sharing their thoughts and feelings and reminding

each other of the truth of God's word.

It's the people in that Zoom meeting that are grounding their

discussions in the truth of God's word.

You know, Colossians, chapter three, verse 16, it says this.

Let the word of Christ dwell in you, richly teaching and admonishing

one, each one of, in another, in all wisdom, singing psalms and

hymns and spiritual songs with thankfulness in your hearts to God.

What I love about this is James says that we should have designated

teachers.

But then in the book of Colossians, it says, but there's

a low level of teaching to one another.

And what does that mean?

Just hold each other accountable.

When someone says, oh, I'm afraid, then you say, no.

Perfect love casts out all fear.

When somebody feels, oh, no, I'm sick.

No, come here.

The Bible says, forget not his benefit.

It's like there's a low level of dispensing the word of God to

each other.

And it's the men, the men of valor who come together, and they

put worship music on, and they begin to pray for their families.

That's the flight crew.

Ask the person next to you, did you find your crew?

Come on, Ask the other person, did you find your crew?

You listen.

You can have the Ground crew.

But if you don't have the flight crew, you're still not making

it to your destination.

But then you need fuel.

And I just want to break this down in numbers.

Numbers 13 · chapter mention

Chapter 13, it says they are like the spies who went ahead with

Joshua and Caleb, scouting out the land and bringing back a good

report.

They encourage and support each other on the journey.

And guess what?

It's like when you're sitting in that marriage crew and you're

looking at each other and you're like, I don't know if my marriage

can ever be healthy.

And by the way, can I tell you something about marriage that I'm

learning is that you need to learn how to have a good marriage

at every phase of your marriage.

Because what.

And I'm learning that because I'm right now I'm re upping on God

help me to be a good husband to Julie at this stage in this age.

And so sometimes we think we graduated.

Oh, I graduated.

No, no.

You get into another season and you need another flight crew

to get to a new destination.

And so what does it mean to be healthy in this season?

You know, the teenagers need each other parents.

I don't know if you know this, but every single time that the youth

meet at all of our locations, we actually do Alpha curriculum and

we are installing a biblical worldview into your teenager's mind.

And we're trying to delete a secular humanistic worldview.

And then they get into groups and they talk about it and they're

going through a process of memorizing the scriptures together.

And our youth leaders are doing an incredible job across all

of our locations of working with the Alpha curriculum and getting

a biblical worldview into.

But what it is is like it's the Joshua and Caleb's.

It's the young adults that are leading the teenagers who are saying,

hey, I'm just up ahead of you.

I've spied out the land and I made some of the mistakes you made

as a teenager and I'm going to teach you.

Moses is dead.

This is a Joshua generation.

Let's move into purity and righteousness and sobriety.

Let's memorize scripture.

Let's get this biblical worldview.

You don't have to make the mistakes I made.

It's like it's RJ saying, hey, when I met Pastor Mike in Brooklyn

for the first time, my marriage was almost over.

But he told, he looked me in my eyes and said, one day you're

going to be leading a marriage group.

And I didn't believe him.

Now I'm leading a group of groups because God's multiplied,

and.

And.

And I've spied out the land, and I've got up ahead of you.

I know how to make the journey.

We need a fly crew, people who've gone up ahead of us.

I remember there was a juncture for our church where I didn't

see that many old people.

And every Sunday, I would come out and I would say, lord, I can't

be the only bald one in this church.

And I'd say, lord, I can't.

I need to see some gray hair in this church.

And I would look out, and I remember one time I went before the

Lord and I said, lord, if I don't see the older generation come

to this church, I'm shutting it down.

And I said, I love the young people now.

The millennials annoy me so much, but I love them.

And I'm wrestling for real.

You know, millennials are hard to lead, being to the fact that 16

times I'm Florida Google.

Just chill, bro.

Just chill.

You don't know what you're talking about because you watch three

YouTube videos.

I've been reading the Bible for a long time.

Just relax and just become a learner.

Yeah, but Gemini and Chatgpt told me, just chill.

You talking to Chatgpt more than the Holy Spirit.

That's why you got problems.

Just relax.

Read the Bible.

Let's sit down.

Just become a student.

You're not ready yet, you know, so it was like I would go through

this process, and I would cry out to God.

I would say, God, bring me the lead generation.

Bring me.

Bring me the old.

And then all of a sudden, they started to come, and I said, lord,

now this is a church.

And then there was a season where I said, I know.

Don't be offended, because I'm technically a Caucasian myself.

But I said, God, this church is too white.

And I was.

And I'm mad, God, because we.

We got the kind of people that don't season their chicken in this

church, and they need deliverance from that spirit of blandness.

And we need some flavors in this church.

Come on.

It's all right.

It's all right.

Technically, I'm white.

I'm just a white person deluxe, because I've learned.

Now I'm joking, but I'm not joking.

And then the races started to come.

Because, I'll be honest with you, the most segregated America

is.

Is on Sundays.

And listen, then when we started to see people of different

races, then guess.

Guess what the new problem was?

They were segregated in the auditorium.

And I was like, wow, who said that?

This is the.

The.

This is the Argentinian section.

This is the Mexican section.

This is.

Because I didn't even realize it sometimes breaks down even across

races.

And I'm like, okay, it's not just African Americans.

Then some people say, no, I'm.

I'm African.

African, and I don't know if I want to be American.

And I was getting corrected every day, and I was learning all

the different divisions, and I said, lord, heal this church and

make us an epicenter of racial reconciliation.

And we started to grow on that journey.

And then all of a sudden, now when I look out, you.

You don't understand what you see in these services.

We had to conquer.

We had to get some spies that went up ahead and say, I see a version

of V1 that's different than this version, and we're fighting

for this.

And I see this is what this church is.

It's a Joel 2 and Acts 2 movement.

It's Joel 2 says every.

Your old men will dream dreams.

Your sons and daughters will prophesy.

It's.

It's.

It's.

Man.

Last week, I was in the kids department in Brooklyn, and I heard

this singing.

And then I went back there when Jeff Morris was preaching and

I heard this beautiful singing.

I thought that they had a kids album that they were playing.

And I came back and they were holding up a megaphone to this little

girl who was just singing.

And as this little girl was singing, I was weeping, and I said,

lord, what treasure do we have in every generation of our church?

And so what is spiritual formation?

Spiritual formation is at every stage and at every age and

in every race, we start to reflect the image of Jesus.

So my goal is not to make you like me.

Heaven forbid you become like Mike Signorelli.

My goal is to make you more like Jesus.

What does Jesus look like as an entrepreneur?

What does Jesus look like as a husband?

What does Jesus look like as a friend?

What does Jesus look like as an older person?

What does Jesus look like as a teenager?

The whole reason why this church exists is because I want you

to become more like Jesus in every stage, in every age of your

life.

So here's what we're going to begin to do, and I'm announcing this

right now.

It's like a first major announcement is that we are now going

to ascend the seven mountains.

We have our ground crew, and we now are going to find our flight

crew.

And in 2025, we are going to begin to ascend and take that flight

to the top of the mountain that God has called us to summit.

Because not all of you are supposed to be pastors within the

local church.

Some of you are, actually.

And listen, I got invited to the White House last week.

And as I walked into the White House, I thought, lord, in one generation,

you took me from the trailer park to the White House.

I had Secret Service agents.

Literally, I can't believe I get to meet you.

I'm so glad you're here.

And I'm like, you're glad that I'm at the White House?

Like, I can't believe it.

And I said, why am I here?

And they said, because we're starting this program.

We want to bring somebody in to pray and intercede from the White

House.

And you're the first person that we invited to come to the White

House and pray over the White House.

And as I walked through the different rooms of the White House,

I got to the very end, and at the end, there was a hallway, and

they had decorated for the holiday season, all in dubs.

And they said, pastor Mike, do you remember your sermon?

It's not about the elephant or donkey.

It's about the dove.

Look, the doves.

I begin to pray outside of the White House.

And I had a Secret Service agent on one side.

On the other side, I had a woman of faith.

And it was black and it was white.

It was Democrat, it was Republican.

And as I began to pray, I looked and I saw the tears streaming

down their face.

And I said, lord, the dove has come to the White House.

God is at the White House.

And I'm telling you, as an apostolic leader in the faith, the

Lord took me to the White House to say, you've been faithful

with your house.

Now you're going to the White House.

The White House will have the dove.

And I believe it was a sign for America that America is going

to experience an awakening like we've never seen before for

such a time as this.

And God has called you to go into arts and entertainment when.

When Evan Wilson made a movie and the arts and entertainment, and

we debuted that movie from the same place.

For those of you who have an interest in being in arts and entertainment,

I want you to understand this church started to do this vision

in 2023 and 2024.

And in arts and entertainment, Evan Wilson made this movie called

Domino Revival, which, by the way, it comes out streaming platforms

around the world.

January.

So you see how we're starting the new year Amazon.

When we talked to Amazon, they said, this is like the modern Romans

Road.

And people are going to find this movie by the algorithm of Amazon

that never even knew it existed.

And millions of people are going to watch the Domino revival,

Apple, all the different streaming platforms, they're all

going to open up January.

It's a divine timeline.

But we did this movie.

It went to 2,000 theaters in America, and that was arts and entertainment.

And I told the movie industry that we were doing the, you know,

the Avengers Endgame of revival.

And did you know that in God's sovereign, serendipitous ways, that

the movie premiered in the same theater where Avengers Endgame

premiered in New York City?

You can't make this up, y'all.

We are a move of God, arts and entertainment.

Our team came together and brought all their gifting and talent,

and we charted singles above Drake and Taylor Swift within the

last 18 months.

This doesn't happen.

So what does that mean?

It means we're going deeper.

We're going.

We're.

We got our ground crew.

We're going to find our flight crew.

We're going to summit the mountain of arts and entertainment.

And I believe that more singers, more artists, more musicians,

more painters, more graphic designers, I believe that more are

going to begin to rise.

So across all locations right now.

If you feel called to arts and entertainment, I want you to stand

up.

If you feel called to arts and entertainment, I want you to stand.

You know.

Yeah, only if you feel.

We're going to go through all of them right now.

Okay.

I want you to look around.

This is your flight crew.

This is your flight crew.

Every single one of these people in this room right now in

Brooklyn, if you're looking around that you're looking at your

flight crew, hold each other accountable.

You know, there is a woman.

I wish I would have brought it.

There is a woman.

I.

When I was in California, I prophesied to this woman, you are

going to write a book.

And I begin to prophesy.

She started to weep.

She said, pastor Mike, I have a children's book inside of me.

Did you know that that woman just mailed me that book two weeks

ago?

And she said, pastor Mike, I wanted to send you the first copy

because the children's book is done.

I finished the book, and it's in your hands.

Thank you for calling that out of me.

So this is a flight crew.

I want you to look around arts and entertainment.

I want you guys to get to know each other at all six locations,

and I want you to spend 20, 25 saying, we're going to take flight.

This is the year we do it.

Come on, take a seat.

Take a seat.

I want to talk about business.

I want to talk about business.

We have entrepreneurs at this church.

Did you know that?

When I was in Singapore, I came to know people on the Forbes

list, and I was in Singapore prophesying over the biggest entrepreneurs

in that nation.

And they told me they see the word nexus and they said, we see

you in the financial district, Pastor Mike, and we see you raising

up entrepreneurs and business people.

Did you know that since that word was prophesied, did you know

that literally we have a place in Manhattan that's off of Exchange

street, and we meet every Sunday night across from Wall street

and the New York Stock Exchange in that thing.

And it fulfilled that prophetic word for business.

And I believe that this church is called to go even deeper into

the realm of stewarding those that need to take flight and some

at the top of the business mountain.

So if you feel called to the business mountain, would you stand

up at all locations right now?

I'm talking business, business, business, business.

Yeah.

Come on, man.

This makes me want to cry because this, this is.

This is your mountain.

And we're going to get to the top of this mountain together, and

you're going to get all of those dreams fulfilled.

I want you to look around unapologetically.

Some of it, when you stood up, you felt embarrassed to stand up,

but I hear the Lord saying that you're going to grow in confidence.

I want.

Look at this young man.

When you stood up, I'm telling you, something shifted in you because

you are going to do what God's called you to do.

Don't let anybody tell you that it can't happen.

I'm breathing the breath of life into this young man right now.

You're going to be encouraged this year.

You are an entrepreneur.

You will launch business and you'll have employees, and you'll.

You'll look at what God uses you to do, and you'll see his faithfulness

on your life.

But see, look around at every location.

This is your flight crew.

You need each other.

Okay, take a seat.

Take a seat.

This one is the church mountain.

Now, listen, I just want to say congratulations and condolences

because this is my mountain.

And I'll tell you what, this mountain's a hard mountain.

I.

You know, the Christian army is the only army that shoots its

own wounded.

We're the only army that shoots our own wounded.

And God's called me to be a unifier in a world Full of division.

And what you've been seeing.

And the reason why people started calling me apostle, and I

just like saying it to offend religious people is because we need

apostolic leaders.

It's just a different way for me to serve.

Pastors don't break hard regions.

Pastors can't do that.

Evangelists can't do that.

That's apostolic work.

You know, you don't plant seven locations in eight years as

a pastor.

You do that as an apostolic leader.

And so I'm what you guys see.

Like, same thing with pastors don't fill stadiums.

But Paul did in Ephesus.

And so I've been embracing this apostolic calling.

You don't have to call me Nothing, Call me Mike.

Let me just put that on the record.

You don't have to call me Nothing.

Call me Mike, but don't call me late for dinner.

But I never did ministry for a title.

I never.

And I don't care about a title.

Call me whatever you want to call me, but I'll tell.

I'm going to do the work.

More churches will be launched.

More buildings will be purchased.

More and more regions will be open.

So this church mountain.

If you feel called to the Levitical call, if you feel called

to be an evangelist, a prophet, a preacher, a teacher, a

pastor, a shepherd, an apostle, a minstrel, and listen,

let me just tell you something about the Levites and Nazarites.

They can't help it.

They can run from it, but they can't hide.

So if that's you, just stand to your feet for a moment.

If you feel called, just do it unapologetically.

Don't worry about being judged.

If you feel like you have a ministry called don't worry about

being Judged, I want everybody on board that needs to be on board

at all six locations.

Stand up.

We'll take you.

Come on.

We're drafting everybody today.

Don't feel embarrassed if you feel called to the mountain of church.

I'm trying not to put more emphasis on this one because it's

emotional to me, but thank you for standing up.

Because the Bible says for many are called, but few are chosen.

And I really believe.

Let me.

Let me just tell you.

When we were at the women's event and I heard your testimony

and you started to deliver your testimony, I knew it then.

And I'm affirming in front of everybody on purpose and that.

And if you want any explanation for the kind of warfare

in your life, that's the explanation.

Because in 2025, get ready, because you're Clicking into what's

next.

And you're going to see what the devil's been fighting over for.

You're going to see it with your own eyes.

And I honor you.

I honor you because you've endured.

You have a love for the Word and it's all going to make sense.

You have a love.

Yeah, you got your journey, too, girl.

And I honor you.

Okay, everybody take a seat because we'll go into revival.

And I got two more to do.

Now, one of this one's going to be unique.

Education.

Education.

If you feel called to education, this administration.

Listen, I'm going to speak this vision now, and I've already

been working on it.

When I bought our Indiana building, our Indiana building, it

was a Lutheran church.

If you guys have never been there, it's a beautiful limestone

building that we've actually refurbed the whole thing.

It's got beautiful stained glass windows.

But there.

That Lutheran congregation at one point built a whole extension

of a school.

And my.

My education secularly is in.

Is in post secondary education.

It's.

I had a license for 5 through 12th grade education because I love

formation.

And I didn't know that it was really supposed to be a church planter,

not in education.

But I still have that hemisphere of my brain.

And so I'm announcing that we are actually making plans for.

To debut a school out of our Indiana location that is going to

be a Christian school.

And we've been working on that.

But I also believe it's going to be a template for Long Island.

I believe it's going to be a template for New York City.

And I believe that we are.

First I planted churches, and now we will begin to plant schools

across America, and the doors will open.

So if you feel called to education, would you stand to your

feet?

If you feel called to education, stand your feet because

we're looking for staff members.

Come on, somebody.

But I believe this is going to happen, and we're working on it.

And I need you to pray that we pass all the inspections in Indiana

and we do everything because we're going to template it.

But we need educators with the heart of Christ.

Praise God.

Okay, take a seat.

Now, this next one, it's.

It's closely related, but I believe that God has called certain

people.

Isaiah Saldivar is one of them.

Isaiah loves family, and God gave him girl after girl after girl

after girl after girl.

And he can.

I think Isaiah can only have girls, but he loves family and he

believes in family and revival.

And family is a big deal.

And there's people who feel called.

You know, there was one point in our church where a lot of us parents

were struggling with our teenagers.

And we brought in.

We actually brought in a psychologist, a Christian psychologist,

and we would have the parents in one room meeting with the psychologist

via Zoom, and the teens at the other.

And we were healing together because we believe in the unity of

family.

And there are people who are called specifically to minister to

families, and that's their call in life.

This could be husbands, wives, marriages.

It could be adoption.

There's people who are called to adoption.

They're called.

We actually have people in our church that take care of various

different children in various capacities, different abilities,

and they're called to that.

So if you're called to the mountain of family, would you stand

up at every location, the mountain of family in some way, shape

or form?

Praise God.

Praise God.

Praise God.

Come on.

Come on, man.

I felt it in New Jersey just now.

I felt somebody stood up in New Jersey.

And when they stood up, the Lord says, you've been waiting for

this moment.

And I'm acknowledging that you will.

You will heal even out of your own family.

Brokenness healing will come, and the lessons that you learn, you

will give to many out of New Jersey.

For New Jersey will be known for family, says the Lord.

And I will cause New Jersey to rise up as a beacon and New Jersey

as a lighthouse to those who are weary.

And there will even be those I see in New Jersey.

I don't know if there's somebody in the congregation that

has a burden for a halfway house or some kind of home, but I

see some kind of, like.

I don't know if it's for battered women.

I don't know if it's something.

But the Lord says, I will give you favor with real estate in New

Jersey, and you will have homes.

I see, like, homes, plural, for those who are battered and weary.

And New Jersey will be a refuge and a resting place, says

the Lord.

All right, take your seats, family.

Now, I just got back from the White House, and as I was in D.C.

for those three days, I realized that I don't have a call

for government because I'm way too wild.

I was like, I get fired the same day they elected me.

You know, there's a statue down the street that is actually

a.

A war general.

And I told my kids, I said, you know, if your dad ever got a

bronze statue, it wouldn't be for being the president.

It would be for being that savage warrior that, you know, that's

more My style.

I'm that dude.

But the reason why I say that is because as I was watching these

people in government meet each other and talk to each other and

shake hands, and I was like, in their world, I started to feel

this grace.

And, you know, so there's a guy that I've been mentoring for

quite a while.

His name's Shane Winnings.

And Shane was actually just made named the Promise Keepers president.

And if you guys saw that picture of him with Donald Trump,

I don't know if you guys saw that, but he was asked to be a part

of that.

And then since then, has gotten asked to go back to D.C.

to hold Bible studies with those who were in government.

And it's just such a unique story.

He was in law enforcement, and I told him, I said, the Lord's going

to cause you to rise up within the ranks.

And so why do I say that?

Because I believe that this church can be like a prophetic.

You know, think about the landing place, right?

Like the plane comes in the land and refuel, and then it comes

out and it goes on missions.

I believe that.

Senators, governors, mayors, you guys, many of you may not know

this, but before I moved to New York, I used to work with the

mayors of northwest Indiana.

And, you know, I just recently was with the mayor of Portage, Indiana,

where we have a church location.

And he's the new mayor.

And I was telling him the stories of, like, Founders park and

the various things that I.

The projects that I worked on while I was.

So I've always had like an intermingling with government officials.

And so I believe, though, that we need insiders because think about

this.

David was a government official.

Joseph was a government official.

Daniel was in the government.

And so it's like we need those in government.

So just please stand up across all six locations.

If you feel called to the mountain of government, just take

a stand.

Just take a stand.

Anybody?

Come on.

Praise God.

Praise God.

Across all six locations.

Praise God.

Well, I guess you're going to win the vote.

Take a seat.

It's a unanimous vote here on Long Island.

I'm just saying.

Pretty easy ballot tonight.

Last but not least, let's talk about media.

I had the privilege of attending the largest church in the

country of Hungary.

And Hungary, as you know, was under communism.

And a man by the name of Shando started.

And by the way, what, What a Pentecostal name, Shando.

What an epic name.

Shendo.

So this man started a church under communism.

When communism fell, his church exploded because.

But as you know, Media is incredibly manipulative and there's

a lot of propaganda.

And so as somebody who taught journalism and has contributed to

journalism for years, I've written for various different newspapers

and publications.

I know that how dist.

Deceptive media can be.

And so I believe, like Shando, this man who's in Hungary and you

can look at this, when, when communism fell, he actually had a

vision to launch his own media company.

And right now one of the top media company networks in all of

that country is actually his church.

And so I believe that God is calling various people into the media

mount.

So stand up.

If you feel called to media as that seventh mountain, just take

a stand.

Come on.

Praise God.

Yeah.

Praise God.

Wow.

Yeah.

Come on.

Media.

Media.

Wow.

That's amazing.

That's amazing.

Yes.

Thank you.

And I'm making you stand because you gotta.

You have to own it.

So look around.

These are your flight crew.

These are the ones that over the next year, in 2025, you're gonna

go on that journey with.

So you guys can take a seat.

We're almost done.

So you need a ground crew, you need a flight crew, and you need

fuel.

Let's commit to fueling our journey with God's word so that we

can go V1 together.

We don't fuel our journey with our own ideas and ambition.

We don't need your ideas and ambition in government.

We need the word of God in government.

We don't need your own ideas and ambition and family.

We need the word of God installed in family.

We don't fuel our journey with our own plans and our own strategies.

Because, young man, your own plans and strategies in business

will fail.

And we need the word of God.

That is our plan.

That is our strategy.

We need the word of God.

We don't fuel our journey with our own strength because we don't

have this.

Artists, let me tell you, for those in arts entertainment, you

won't have the strength to finish the project.

But you need the word of God to be your fuel.

That is your strength.

So here's what I'm announcing.

In every season of my life, it's been defined by another Bible.

So what we've been working on as a team and we're announcing across

all of our locations, today is our very own 365 day biblical journal.

As a church, we're going to go through the Bible 365 days, January

1st till the end.

And this is a uniquely V1 creation.

And today we are making this available.

And this starts January 1st across all of our Campuses.

Now, let me just tell you why this is our daily growth book is

this is going to change the very DNA of each and every one of

you.

And spiritual formation is not going to be a weekly thing at V1

Church.

It's not going to be a bi weekly thing with your connect group.

It's going to be a daily thing with your daily growth journal.

And I want to shout out Michelle Hamstra.

I want to shout out all those who work so hard to complete this.

I want to shout out the Charisma team from Charisma Publishing

that helped us get these books available for every campus.

They are available today.

But let me just tell you about this daily growth book.

What would happen if you actually read the Bible every day

of 2025?

Some of you will never miss having coffee, but you'll miss having

the word.

But what if I told you there's a pill that I could prescribe to

you, that it would actually reduce your harmful behaviors?

It's scientifically studied to reduce your depression, to reduce

your anger.

All you gotta do is take this pill once a day in the morning and

it's scientifically proven.

What if I told you that it's scientifically proven to increase

your forgiveness, make you more compassionate?

Some of you be giving five of those pills to your husband.

You'd be putting, you'd be slipping in everything he's drinking.

That it.

What if I told you that it would increase your emotional regulation?

Scientifically proven.

What if I told you would increase your resilience?

What if I told you would actually enhance your brain function

and it would cause cognitive activity and even improve your memory.

All you had to do is take this pill once a day.

It would promote even your physical health because there's a

link between Bible reading and even improved physical health as

a result.

And so let me do this.

Oh, you see that?

Benefits of daily Bible reading.

Now, for all of the fact checkers, I made citations in Turabian

style.

So let's go to the next slide.

Here's your citations if you want to take a picture.

These are all the studies that were conducted that prove on a biological

level how people are changed as a result of reading the Bible

every day.

So there is no pill that exists in our generation that can

do all these things for you, but this can't.

So we are going to switch as a church into it.

Now let me just tell you this.

This is for the whole family.

And we went to the extent of actually numbering every page.

So like when I, when I say it's Only good for one year.

January 30, 2025, day 30.

So this is like fresh manna.

Next year, will they be a new one?

And for those of you in connect groups, what.

What book are we doing in 2025 in our Connect group?

The Bible.

We're living in an era where men of God, women of God are falling

left and right.

It's becoming increasingly difficult.

Whose voice do I listen to?

What book do I read?

The Bible.

We listen to the voice of the Lord.

We're going to take a year.

Every connect group, our marriage groups, our men groups,

our women's groups, we're going to use this.

And by the way, we put our connect group questions already in

here at each and every section so you can have them and ask those

questions in your connect groups.

And I am so excited because each day you're going to read the

portion.

It's already broken up for you.

And then you're going to go through and you're going to answer

the questions and physically write in this.

And husbands, I want you to talk to your wives about this.

Wives, I want you to talk to your husband.

Single ladies who are dating, you want to know if he's from God

or not?

Ask him.

Show me your daily growth journal.

Don't ask to see his bank account.

Show me your daily growth journal.

Oh, you're nine days behind.

Okay.

We need to reevaluate this relationship.

There's going to be a seismic shift in your life as a result of

this daily growth journal, and I want you to physically write in

it every single day.

It's going to be very quick, but it's going to change your life

forever.

And this is the fuel that's going to take you to the destination

that God has for you.

We're going to grow with the word.

In a few moments, we're going to share, like, how you can actually

get this book over the next several weeks because it starts January

1st, and we're doing this together.

When you come to pastor Danny and ex Gun, you say, help me.

Help me with my marriage.

They're going to say, cool.

Bring your daily growth book.

Oh, you're.

You haven't done this for three weeks.

Well, I want to help your marriage, but you're not helping

your marriage if you have children in your home.

What do you talk about at dinner?

Let's talk about.

Hey, what did you read today?

What thing did God speak to you?

And you begin to go through.

It's like this becomes the centerpiece of your entire home.

Oh, look, that's.

This is what it looks like in your home.

Just you see this thing everywhere and we got the bright

orange so you don't miss it.

It's like a construction zone.

You see the bright orange stop under construction.

Because can I prophesy to you, as we get ready to transition out,

2025 is the year that you move in silence.

It's the year that you quietly rebuild.

It's the year that you read the Bible every single day and you're

going to start to see changes in your attitude.

You bring your family to this.

You bring your.

I feel like as social media has increased, we need to increase

in gathering around the word of God.

We need to eat the word of God.

And I believe that what's going to happen is slowly you're

going to start seeing a change.

Slowly, God's going to rearrange things.

And I believe that next year for Vision Sunday, we're going to

look at this book, completely filled out, and you're going to say,

God, I remember who I was when I started this.

Look who I am now.

Look who I am now.

So in a few moments, we're going to.

Our campus pastors are going to come up at every location and

tell you how to get this.

Now, for as incredible as Vision Sunday 1 has been, I saved

all the good stuff for next week.

And if you're like, what do you mean?

Our church made a 700 page book.

And that's not the biggest announcement.

Oh, no, we're just getting started.

Now, what I will say is this.

We're going to pray together.

And I want you all stand to your feet.

We're going to do a prayer that I actually created.

And this prayer is a call and response between me and you.

So I'm going to read my part and I'm going to be crying this out

to God.

And then I want you to respond with your part.

And as a church, we're going to make this declaration before God

and step into what's next.

How many of you are ready to do this with me?

All right.

Are you ready?

Do you have those?

Okay, this is my part.

We're going to begin to pray together now as a church, we're going

to do this confession and declaration together across all six

locations.

Right now I need.

Is Julie here yet?

Can I have maybe exica.

Just grab a mic.

Okay, great.

Can you unmute her mic now?

Execa, you're going to be the congregation and I'll be the leader.

And we're going to do this together.

I Just want so they can hear somebody do the prayer.

Okay.

Are you all ready out there?

Come on.

Are you ready in Miami?

Come on.

Y'all ready?

All right.

Let's just make this declaration.

Heavenly Father, we stand before you today ready to embrace

the vision that you have for our lives and for this church.

Lord, we are your ground crew, preparing the way for your spirit

to move.

We are your flight crew, ready to soar to new heights in our faith

together.

We confess that we cannot do this on our own.

We need your word to fuel our journey, to guide our steps, and

to empower us to service.

As Psalms 119, verse 105 says, your word is a lamp to my feet and

Psalms 119:105

a light to my path.

Illuminate our way, Lord, that our road will turn into a Runway

for revival.

Fill us with a passion for your word, a hunger to know you more

deeply through its pages.

May we, like the burdens in Acts 17:11, examine the Scriptures

Acts 17:11

daily to increase in wisdom for these days.

Help us to be diligent in our daily Bible reading to meditate on

your truths and to apply them to our lives.

As we fill our spirits with your word.

May we take flight in our faith, reaching new altitudes of

love, service and impact for your kingdom.

We commit to being part of the ground crew and the flight crew,

working together to build your church and advance your kingdom in

this community and beyond.

Empower us, Lord, to go v1, to reach our full potential in Christ

and to vote fulfill the purpose you have for each of us.

We pray this in the name of Jesus, our true pilot and our guide

in Jesus name.

And everybody said Amen.

Amen.

Come on, shout it even louder out there in Brooklyn.

Amen.

Come on.

Okay.

Can you put up that graphic for the shirt?

So here's what we're going to do.

Across every location as you leave across.

But don't leave yet.

Don't leave yet.

Take a seat, matter of fact, because you're going to be tempted.

You're going to be tempted across every location.

I want you to leave by getting your growth book.

But here's what I want you to do.

I want you to invite a friend next week.

Because next week's going to be even bigger.

But every single person in attendance is going to receive a

ground crew T shirt next week.

And we're going to be talking more about how God is going to move

in their life.

So come next week, bring a friend.

We're all getting ground crew T shirts.

Make sure you get your daily growth book.

And across every location.

We're going to have our pastors, our pastors come and actually

tell you how to get it.

So can you guys welcome at every location your campus pastors

to now tell you how to get your daily growth book this week.

And I'll see you next Sunday for the craziest announcements we've

got yet.
