- Anybody looking for a miracle?

I said, anybody
looking for a miracle?

And you see, I've
seen miracles before.

Here a miracle, there a miracle,

everywhere a miracle, miracle.

Are you looking? Oh god,
we finna see one tonight.

Oh God, bring them
here. Come on, oh yeah.

God's about to heal you tonight.

He's in the miracle
working business.

Yeah, he is. Oh yeah.

Are you ready? Are
you going to receive?

Yes you are.

Ah!

I feel it tonight, y'all.

God's about to do
it. Get up and walk.

Oh, get him outta here. Glory.

That's all right.

Some of y'all are looking
for your miracle to walk.

When the Bible said
we gonna mount up,

I believe that I'm
about to mount up

like an eagle and
fly, fly, fly away.

Fly, fly away.

Dear God, make me a bird
so I can fly, fly away

on my miracle, ah!

♪

- Can I ask you a question?
- Sure

- Bro, why not take
the church back in LA?

That literally would
solve all your problems.

I mean, you get to be
closer to your fiance,

well, ex-fiance, and you
get your daddy's church.

And that's what started
this whole mess, anyway,

I don't see what the problem is.

- 'Cause man, the only
reason he gave me that church

is because his boy failed.

And his whole energy is
like, I should be so happy

to have this opportunity.

Man, look out. I'm good.

- Yeah, you ain't never gonna
give her that ring back.

Shoot, her work husband
got a better chance

of giving her a ring.

- What's that mean?

- You just busy trying
to show up your dad

when you should have been
showing up for Keisha.

Bro, this is a lot for her.

- Yes. Support is
a lot nowadays.

- Dog, you lost your woman

trying to get even
with your pops.

- Thanks, Rodney.

- It's ego, why you
won't take that job,

and it's money why you
looking into this new job.

Neither one of them
things have anything

to do with Keisha.
- Do with Keisha.

- It's the same thing she said

when she was giving
the ring back.

- Anyway, subject change.

We got until Easter for
you to tell Pastor Theo

what you thinking as far as
the decision is concerned,

so what's up?

- Oh, I'm taking that job.
- You're leaving Bethlehem?

- Yes, I know it's selfish,

but making three, four times
what I ever made preaching

sounds like a good idea.

And that's my decision.

- Cool, man.

I'm gonna just, I'm gonna
head back to LA next week.

- What you mean?

- I'm not going with
you to that church.

- Why not?

- Well, my position
is filled there.

And honestly
keeping in the buck,

I came down here
'cause we had a plan.

Now you leaving, so I'm leaving.

Just head back to LA, find me
an MD job, start back writing.

Hopefully one of
these originals hit.

- But why are you leaving?

- 'Cause you leaving.

Dawg, I can't keep
following you, bro.

I love you, but I
gotta go somewhere

and plant myself where
I can start growing.

I'm always gonna be
there for you, bro.

But you out, so, dawg, I'm out.

No hard feelings, you know that.

- Yeah, yeah, of course.

- And my new girlfriend,
she's gonna be pretty upset.

- Wait, your new what?

- I'll talk about it later.

- I was gone for two days.

- Yeah, you know a lot can
happen in two days, bro.

You ever seen "Married
At First Sight?"

[Man laughs]

You know, like, it was

♪ Love at first sight.
♪ First sight.

- Okay, let me hear you.

♪ I know

- There it is.
[Man laughs]

♪ From the way she
looked at me. ♪

- There it is, y'all.

- You gotta turn to the side

♪ Me.
- when you, yeah, that's work.

- You're losing your son.

- He is hardheaded and stubborn.

- He's a man, a grown man,

who's capable of running
your church, his own church,

or anybody who wants
to give him a shot.

You know, he's so
far up your butt,

he's running his own life.

- Please, according to him,
he's got offer upon offer,

and he, [laughs] he turned
me down just like that.

- It has nothing
to do with offers.

It's you, you don't respect him.

He's trying to prove
you wrong so much

that he doesn't even realize

that he's losing his own fiance.

- That woman ain't
going nowhere.

- I love my son. I really do.

But I hope Keisha
is better than me.

- What are you talking about?
- You know,

Corey doesn't know how
to put his woman first

because he's watched
his whole life,

you never put me first.

You know, I never had
the courage to leave you.

- What?

- I barely had enough courage

to tell you when
something was wrong.

- Hey Pastor, you
text me to come down.

- Oh, hey.

What, did you teleport here?

- No, I was actually
in the parking lot.

I needed to talk to you.

- Have a seat.

Corey, these past few
months have opened my eyes

to two things.

One of them is I really
enjoy what you're doing here.

- Thank you.

- Yeah, from the
counseling to preaching,

and whatever I need you
to fill in, you filled in,

and it really exceeded
my expectation.

Because of that, I want
you to lead service

this Sunday for Easter.

- Pa-Pastor, look-
- No, hold on.

Listen, I know it feels
like I strung you along,

but I just needed to be sure.

And the second thing is,
I really enjoy my vacation

and I wanna make it permanent.

- Permanent?
- Yeah.

- You shutting the church down?

- No, no, Corey, I'm
shutting me down.

I want you to take over
the church for good.

I prayed on it for a while.

The church is moving in
a different direction

with all the technology,
and you can handle that,

and maintain the Word for
older people like myself.

It's time. Yeah it is time for
me to just get outta the way

and enjoy my retirement.

- I don't know what to say.

- Whatever it is, just
say it on Easter service.

But keep it between me and you.
I haven't told anybody else.

- Alright. Okay.

- Well I'm gonna
clean some things out

and make the transition
easier for you.

- Alright, thank you.

- Hey, Pastor.

- All right.

- So, you tell him?

- No.
- What, why?

- I mean, I came to,

but he asked me to
preach on Easter service.

- No, I thought you was
starting at the new church

with Pastor Theo
on Easter Sunday.

- That's the plan.

- And you ain't
tell Pastor Stenny?

- I wanted to, but he like

unloaded a lot and
then just left.

- Well, I'm about to
tell him I'm leaving.

- No. Why?

- Because I haven't had a
chance to talk to him yet.

- Corey, look, bro. You
got to six o'clock, okay?

He just gave me this job. I
just got the music department.

I at least want to
give him some time

to find somebody else.

I owe him that.

- Okay. Gimme till six.

- Six o'clock.
- No earlier.

- Six o'clock.
- All right.

- I'll be at rehearsal.

- Knock, knock.

- Corey, come in. Have a seat.

I was wondering when
I'd hear from you.

- Yeah, sorry, it
took me a minute.

I had to go and
check on my family.

- How's the fiance?

- She's great.

She couldn't be happier for me.

- Good. It takes a special
woman to stick by a pastor.

We have a tough job.

We need to be available
for what feels like

all the time to so many people.

But I'm sure she supports you.

That's why you're so
good at what you do.

- Thank you.

Are you married?

- Divorced, I didn't
have that kind of

support system at home.

So let's get to it.
What'd you decide?

- What's going on here?
- Thank you for coming down.

- Of course. What's the problem?

- No problem.

You know, you are the
longest tenured member here.

You've always had my back
even when I was wrong.

I love you. And I
thank you for that.

- You're a good pastor and
you're loyal to the Lord.

And so in return, I'm
loyal to this church

and your leadership.

I have a pot of greens
on the stove, Pastor,

why did you really
bring me down here?

- I'm retiring.

- What?

- Corey will be taking
over the church.

It makes sense.

He's young, but he has
everything that I don't.

- Corey is good,
but he's not you.

- Yeah, you're
right. He's not me.

I think he'll be better than me.

Please,

I respect you, I just
wanted to tell you

that after this Easter,
this will be Corey's church.

And I hope that you
make this transition

as smooth as you did for
me when I first got here.

Could you do that for me?

- I'll pray about it, Pastor,

- Thank you. Thank you.

- I prayed over it, Pastor.

Not over my dead body.

- I sincerely appreciate
you for believing in me.

- Pastor Stenny, [door
knocking] yoo-hoo?

Not here?

Hey, phone call.

[phone ringing]

- Please leave a
message at the tone.

[phone beeps]

- Hey, Pastor
Stenny, it's Rodney.

I came by your office to
talk to you before rehearsal,

but you're not here, so I'll
try you again afterwards.

[bright music]

- All right, cool.

So listen, let's go over
that flip one last time.

Alison and Jamal, y'all both
share the lead this time

and then we'll all come in.

Cool, five, six, seven.

♪ You ought to praise
him in the morning ♪

♪ Praise him in the noon day

♪ Praise him

♪ Praise him

♪ Praise him when
the sun goes down ♪

♪ I will

♪ Praise him when
the sun goes down ♪

- That's how you flip
a congregational song.

[everyone laughs]

No, really great work, guys.

Actually, if I can keep
y'all for a quick second,

I just wanna thank each
and every one of y'all

for just the hard work y'all
been putting in with me.

It's a tall task to
try to change something

that's been so habit,

but y'all have been sticking
with me in the trenches

as we try to change the culture
of Bethlehem, so thank you.

With all of that being said,

Easter Sunday is important.

- Rodney, Rodney, can I
just grab you real quick?

- Yeah. I'm sorry everybody.

Could I just talk to
Rodney real quick?

Just five minutes. Five minutes.

I promise you five minutes
and you can have him back.

- Yeah, actually
I'll just email y'all

what I was about to say.

No worries, y'all go
ahead and get outta here.

Thanks for a great rehearsal.

Ronnie, make sure these
girls get to their car.

- Thank you, bless y'all.

Thank y'all so much.

- What's the big emergency,
like I hope you called dude,

'cause I called him already.

- What'd you tell him?
- He didn't answer,

I left him a voicemail,

but actually we need to
call him back right now-

- Hold up, hold up.

I told Pastor Theodore,
I'm not taking the job.

- What?
- I said thank you,

but there's too many
things in that equation

that don't make
sense at that church.

You, Jojo, my grandma

- Wait a minute, you passed
up that kind of money?

- Yeah man, I can
always make money,

but what's the point of
being a pastor at a church

without my boy as
the choir director?

- Look, but wait.

You sure that's something
you wanna do, bro,

'cause don't make
no decisions for me.

Look, 'cause honestly, I
would've took the money

and left you high and dry
in the middle of the road.

- Look, I didn't do it
for you. I did it for me.

I mean, I spoke to God about
it and I really sat down

and listened, and
Bethlehem Temple

and all that comes
with it, is for me.

And I don't want you to leave,
bro. You know, I need you.

I love you,

And I need to apologize, man.

I've really spent the
last couple months

making everything about
me, and I'm sorry,

- Negro, dawg, you
know I love you, man.

- My boy.

- I'm sticking around.

- I wasn't sure, man. [laughs]

- You know what's up.

- Now I gotta find Jojo

'cause he's just
been ghosting me.

- Oh, no worries, lil' boy!

- Yeah. You think you slick.

I seen you with your little
twiggys hanging out over there.

- What's up Jojo?

- What you want?

- Listen man. I was about
to make a bad decision,

but I had to make a decision
that I was happy with.

And staying here is
what makes me happy.

And one of the
reasons I wanna stay

is because I want
you to help me.

- Help you?

I don't preach, bro.

I just show up 'cause I
thought y'all was cool.

Then you was leaving.

So how I know if something
better don't pop off

you not out?

- Because me and you about
to be leaders of this church.

- Leaders?

- Yes, man, I'm about to
take over this church,

this Sunday after Easter I'm
gonna be the pastor permanently

and I want you to
be my new assistant.

- Oh, I don't wanna
be no assistant.

I'm not old like you.

- I was real selfish
with both of y'all.

And I know I'm taking over,

but I'm not gonna have no
success if I don't have y'all.

So can we be a team?

- You know, I'm
in, let's get it.

[hands slap]

- Team Bethlehem!
[everyone laughs]

Rodney.
- Corey.

- Jojo.
- Jojo, everybody.

Bethlehem on three,
one, two, three,

- Bethlehem!
[men laughing]

♪ Da
[men laughing]

- Hey, Ma.
- Hey, what's up, Ma?

- Hey guys. I was just calling
to tell you, happy Easter.

Yeah, this is the first Easter

we won't be spending together.

But I wanted to
tell you how proud

me and your father are of you,

and Corey, whether you are
here or preaching there,

we love you and we
couldn't be happier

and more proud of you.

- All right, Ma. Thank
you, love you too.

- Okay. Love you, and
I'll talk to you later.

- Bye, Ma.
- All right.

- Oh, sooky, sooky, na.

[Grandma laughs]
Ooh, sooky, sooky, na.

Where you think you going,
miss Ma'am, you single?

- Oh, why yes I am.

- Hm, not for long
looking like that, mm!

- Grandma, you look amazing.
- Facts.

- Oh, y'all are
so nice. [laughs]

This is Easter service,

and I had to look
good for my grandson,

who is the new head
pastor of the church.

Give God praise.
Hallelujah, y'all.

God is so good.

- All right, y'all, let's
circle up. Let's pray it up.

- All right.
- Jojo, you got us?

- I got it. I got it.
- All right.

- Father God, thank you
for bringing us here today

safely on Easter.

My nigga, Corey,
is preaching today,

so we ask that you let him
turn up one time, Jesus.

God bless him Lord, he
is very much needed here.

And we all love him.

God, thank you for
my new friends here.

And I just want everyone to
go out there and have fun.

And in Jesus' name, amen.
- Amen.

- Before Easter?
- That's okay, bro.

- ♪ So glad you covered me

♪ with your blood

- ♪ Aren't you grateful for
the blood of Jesus

♪ Oh his love for us

♪ How its covering us. Come on
can we thank him?

♪ It was your love for me
keeping me alive

- Hallelujah!
[people clapping]

- Amen, before I begin,
I wanna say hello

to my mother and father.

I didn't know they were
gonna be here today.

Hello, Mom and Dad. Amen.

Jesus was born in a manger.
Something similar to this.

Now, if you don't know
much about mangers,

they are placed in barns where
farm animals live, breathe,

eat, sleep, poop.

You know it was musty.

Turn to their neighbor
and say musty.

- Musty.
- Amen.

- Thank you.
- Keep on.

- You know some of
y'all be a little musty

on the day Easter
service been long,

but I'm gonna get
you outta here.

But he was born in
basically what amounts

to a food tray for animals.

Humble beginnings
for our savior.

But what did he do with his
life is all he's remembered for.

It doesn't matter
where he was born,

what matters is what he did.

And the three wise men
came from far and wide

to give him gifts, gold,
frankincense, myrrh.

So he was both dripped out

and he smelled like
white diamonds.

But the importance
of the manger is

that even though he was
born in something like this,

it did not diminish his value.

Mm. Come on up here, Jojo.

Y'all give a hand clap
of praise for Jojo.

- Hey, man.

- Now, Jojo, I want you to
dig around in that manger

and see if you can
find something.

Ooh, look at that. What is that?

Show it to the people, Jojo.

Brand new iPhone.

iPhone, what is it? 13.

13! Three cameras.

Now is that iPhone
not gonna work

because Jojo found
it in a manger?

- No.

- The product's still the same.

Are you gonna use it?
- Yes.

- Of course he's going to use it

because it doesn't matter
that it was found in a manger.

What matters is the
product still works.

It still has its same value.

Jojo, dig around in there again

and see how God wants to
bless you this Easter.

Oh, well look at that,
racks on racks on racks!

Backs on backs backs!

Look at that. What's that?

1,000, $2,000?

$2,000, let me hold on
to it for just a second,

I'll give it a right back.

Now is the bank
not gonna take this

because it was
found in a manger?

No, the value hasn't changed.

It might smell a little bit,
might be a little sweaty,

but the value's still the same.

Is it gonna spend the same?

Jojo, you gonna
spend some of it?

Yeah, he gonna spend it.

It's gonna spend
the same because the value has not changed.

Hey man, you go ahead
and have a seat Jojo.

Make sure to put some of that
and the tithe and offering

or God gonna take it from you.

You see, our value
isn't where we're from,

it's who we become.

- Ha ha, preach, son!

- Jesus was born to give
us all a second chance

to be who God
planned for us to be.

You know, when I was born I
thought I had to be one thing,

a man just like my father.

But coming here, I
found my true calling

and I'm glad to be home.

Praise him if you
will, Brother Rodney.

and my wife, Sonya.

- Hi, very nice to meet you.
- Same here,

very nice to meet you.

Listen, I want to
thank you for your son.

He's been an absolute blessing
for us here at the church.

We're lucky we found them.

No, I'm not gonna
take your time.

I have some things to
take care of up front.

I got a sandwich waiting for me.

- Pastrami?

[everyone laughs]
- You already know.

And oh, it was wonderful
meeting both of you.

- Likewise.
- Alright.

I am sure that Corey
is going to give you

a full tour of his
new church, right?

- Okay.
- Amen. [laughs]

Alright.
- Glory to God.

- Yo. You was dope man.

[everyone laughs]

You lit up there.

- Oh yeah, my man,
you was crunk lit,

you know what I'm saying?

You was so lit and
crunk. You heard?

- I'm sorry, don't
ever do that again.

- Alright, well
I'll leave you guys.

Have a good rest of your
day. Nice meeting you guys.

- Appreciate you man. Be safe.

- Find me down.

- Alright, well you guys
find me after you're done.

I'm gonna go to the ladies room.

- All right, Mom.
- All right, baby.

- And I'm gonna go to
the little boys rooms.

So y'all can find
me when you're done.

- Oh god.
- Bishop!

- Boy.

- Hey, I'm shocked you came.

- Man, this was my
son's first Easter.

There was no way I
was gonna miss this.

- How'd you find out?
- Rodney.

Rodney has been
trying to connect me

via text for a minute now.

So between that, your
Mom opened them eyes

and more importantly, son...

- Oh, come on,
Pop, you all right?

- I just wanted to, I just
wanted to let you know

how proud I am.

That's why I had to be
here. I'm proud of you.

- Thank you. Thank you.

- And I respect you, son. I
respect you so much as a man.

I respect you as a pastor.

I know my actions
didn't show it sometime,

but bigger than
all of that, son,

I see that you're able
to get what you want

without the approval of dad,

but only by the approval of God.

Glory to God.

- Thank you man.
I love you, Pop.

- I love you too, son.

- Listen man, I was so nervous.

- Really?

- Man, when I saw
you guys out there.

I didn't know you
guys were coming.

You know, and I realized
like deep down, I just,

I just want you to be proud
of me, you know, as a man,

and as a pastor.

And to be honest, you were
right. I wasn't ready.

You know, I found
that out the hard way,

and this church really
helped me get ready.

And, and that's
why I gotta stay.

- Listen, I understand that.

And I will support you
even until retirement

like you did me.

- Alright man.

- I'm gonna go find your mom.

- Okay, I'm gonna
check on Keisha,

and I'll meet you out-
- Alright? Love you, son.

- Love you, man,
thank you. [sighs]

- Blocked?
