Secret Sins

Daniel, I know.

I know you are doing something.

You ain't doing that much entertaining.

What are you doing?

I know you were doing something.

Night after night.

What are you doing?

Wait, no.

Okay.

Am I crazy?

Maybe I'm crazy.

What are you doing!

- Job was a man who knew what suffering was.

But yet his faith was not cast away.

That's right, that's right.

We must learn to endure hardship

and trust God through every single situation.

Like the word, the word says, be watchful.

Stand firm in your faith.

Act like men and be strong.

Don't allow opposition

and distress to take hold of your life.

Yes, sir! Yes, sir!

Remain faithful and never waver.

Remain faithful and never waver.

Yes, sir.

Stand firm in your faith.

Praise the Lord.

Hey.

Just wanted to let the kids see you before we go.

Papa!

Hey.

Thank you, Viv.

You know it's the holiest of pleasures

to see you and my grand babies.

Of course.

Great sermon today!

How are you doing?

I'm good, I'm good! - That's good.

Sir.

Give me a minute, V.

I'll be right outside.

Oh, Pops we can...

No, no. - We can go.

No, let the kids play.

That's why the toys are over here for them.

Okay.

You wanna color?

Yeah.

Are you ready?

What you got?

Oh my god.

Oh, you've already started.

How may I help you, Mathis?

Yeah, well listen.

The church has seen much growth

since Anthony has taken over the youth ministry.

Yeah.

Five baptisms last month.

My son is doing very well.

Yeah.

Yeah.

However, with these bills stacking up,

how are we supposed to keep the doors open

for our younger generation, hm?

And you know they don't give.

Financially.

- Minister, what does test all things mean to you?

The Lord is my shepherd I shall not want.

Okay? What does that mean?

More importantly, how are we supposed

to get them to act accordingly?

Accordingly?

Yeah, yeah.

With a young men coming in here

and making all that ruckus and smelling like...

Smelling like weed?

Yes!

Yes.

Psh, and...

And the young women, their outfit choices are inappropriate.

Ha.

I told you not to get rid of those choir robes.

Look, I'm serious, Pastor.

How are we supposed to secure the future of Mount Zion?

Hm?

You see, we don't.

God has it all figured out.

Gary.

Pastor.

Uh, Pastor.

Deacon Mathis, with all due respect,

I would like to spend the rest of my Sunday

with my grand babies.

And we can resume this conversation tomorrow.

God bless you.

Yeah.

God bless you too.

- Did you see how fine Minister Harris looked today?

Girl, he could be your dad.

Like that would stop her.

I wouldn't mind calling him daddy.

Zooey!

Ugh, what? I'm just saying.

Man, I can't wait 'til I turn 18 next year.

And what would you do to Minister Harris

when you do turn 18?

Girl, don't you answer that question.

We are still at church.

Crazy self.

Hey, Deacon Mathis.

Zooey.

Luke.

Hey, Mrs. Mathis.

Cara, come on, we're leaving.

Bye, guys.

And don't forget to call me tonight.

See ya next Sunday.

- What did I tell you about hanging out with those two?

Dad!

Don't Dad me.

Cara, your father's right.

Okay, we have an image to uphold

and with him being the church's future pastor,

you cannot be hanging around those two.

Look, I know every church has charity case families,

but you, you're not one.

Fix your face and come on.

Get in the car.

- Honey, how do you feel about ribs tonight?

I found this delicious recipe

and I'd really like to try it.

Oh baby, I'm sorry.

I have this, uh, dinner meeting

with some of the other deacons tonight.

I... I totally forgot.

- Okay, well, you know Cara, she can just order in

and I can come with.

Thanks, Mom.

Uh, no.

No, no, no.

We're just gonna be talking about business stuff.

Eh, boring.

Okay, well...

I guess if you insist.

Yeah.

Marshall.

Marshall!

Hello?

Oh! - Whoa.

Oh man, what's going on?

What do you mean?

That's my stuff.

Hey man, I got orders.

I gotta go.

Where have you been?

I tried calling you all weekend.

Betty, what the hell is going on?

Ugh.

Marshall!

My office, now.

Shut the door.

No thanks, I've had enough.

Come on, take it.

Have a seat.

So, Bill.

What's going on, huh?

Why was that guy moving stuff outta my office?

Why don't you calm down?

You haven't been around here all week long

and you're not returning anyone's calls.

Yeah, well, I couldn't find my phone.

- That's a little concerning, don't you think?

Yeah, tell me about it.

You know, I don't know how

to tell you this Marshall, okay.

But things aren't looking up for the business.

Okay?

We're being investigated.

Investigated?

For what?

- You don't need to worry about that right now, okay.

I just need you to lay low for a little while, all right?

Lay...

Low.

Wait!

Am I being accused of something?

No, no, no, no!

Look, it's not like that.

I just want you to lay low for awhile.

You and I, we started this business together.

Have I ever let ya down?

No, you haven't let me down.

Then you need to trust me.

Take a little vacation.

A vacation?

I took a pay cut for the last six months.

I can't afford a vacation.
