Tim Hawkins on Hand Raising

[@eleventy7856]

During church once, we were singing a really serious song and I almost burst out laughing because this video popped into my head.

[@kirstinmccarty8920]

I don't go to a "hand raising church," so whenever I'm in a service with people raising their hands, I think of this video. And have to try really hard to not laugh and focus on the song.

[@boogisan]

same here!!!

[@boogisan]

same here!!!

[@afrarunduml1170]

Oh it's just holy laughter

[@cwmillerrr1]

If people see this and burst out laughing in church because of it then that makes me happy and your silly

[@MyNickdanger]

Our Pastor played this Sunday!~ Thanks!~ God bless all!~

[@savannahjobethlee6072]

MY FAVORITE ONE!!! My stomach is hurting from laughing so much!! Tim Hawkins is the best!!!

[@AlbertaRose94]

That's exactly what happened to me!

[@karleeglover]

This is hilariously accurate. I see all of these at church every sunday.

[@TinkerBell-bt6vu]

I DO this sequence at church LOL

[@PrincessAfrica3]

😂😂😂

[@SarahUsrey]

Please pray for my friend Steve 💚💙❤️🩵💖🧡💛💜🩷

[@dancenshout2002]

I do laugh when I catch myself doing the "heartburn" to "mufassa" but you know, I feel the spirit laughing with us ...as long as we don't let it steal our worship...we can laugh and enjoy worship...God knows our hearts and laughter is great medicine. Hugz!

[@just-dl]

AMEN!!! Laughter and joy are gifts to us from a loving father.

[@amystreasuresdesign]

This never gets old! I can't get through worship without thinking of this. It's ruined me. Then again I spent over a decade on the tech/production team, so I'm not normal. LOL

[@1BADDAD]

This makes every Sunday even more enjoyable! Thanks Tim!!!

[@DarkClaw0912]

Saw someone doing the Goal Post last Sunday and immediately thought of this!

[@katejohnson4438]

I love this! Tim hawkins you are awesome. I'm a schoolroom/touchdown person myself.

[@jpfurrow7445]

When I am on the camera team, I have a window washer on my isle that will wave his hand into the shot. I always think of Tim Hawkins.

[@pamelawilkins7310]

I love Tim Hawkins. This video cracks me up I am a hand raiser in a not so hand raising Baptist church But they love me and I love them And I have notice its a little countagious

[@andytaylor1588]

Once I overcame the initial shyness, I felt the praise and worship transformed me when I raised the roof!

[@cicimelendez4557]

My mom "Washes the Windows" every single time we're in worship. I attend church with my mom all the time, so whenever we leave I end up with a black eye because my mom "washes the Windows" right into my worship space. -___-

[@graceriley1157]

That. is hilarious. XD

[@kayleejt]

My mom does the one armed goalpost 😂

[@silversun364]

XD

[@ethanwakeman2578]

CiCi Melendez lol I hate it when people take up my worship space

[@hikarusenpai3868]

CiCi Melendez 😂

[@4xdblack]

Finally! This is my youthgroup's favorite skit you have! I'm so glad you finally posted it! Now I can watch it in good quality!!! And now my youth group can continue to quote this skit until we go to sleep.

[@K4RN4GE911]

The next time I go to church with my dad, I'll be sure to count out how many people do which hand raise.

[@impossible9690]

Do u have spyro as your profile pic

[@mengyft]

I love it when people can laugh at the things they do, especially when they look a little strange to those of us who don't do it!

[@Bubleone1]

How can anyone NOT think this is hilarious! Love it !! :)

[@schparky2000]

Surely "Mufasa" should have been "Rafiki"?

[@barbaro267]

People are more familiar with Mufasa than Rafiki, to be fair

[@lilsisasu]

@@joshdavis3573 But, Rafiki was the one raising him.

[@evage99]

Thank you, I said that out loud xD

[@bbtdrums1]

the CIIIIIIRCLE of LIIIIIIIIIFEEEE

[@imanipaige3695]

Same!!!!

[@danerthemainer2208]

But itsss rafiki who holds simba up...

[@giraffeNana2023]

Hilariously accurate. I remember taking my Southern Baptist Mother to my Non Denominational Church, and she visited a couple of times. Nothing the first Sunday, second Sunday, palms up about waist high(on her waist). 😂

[@JamesWyattFraverCo]

Saw the DVD at the Christian store, after seeing this a few days ago. It was a "Shut up, and take my money" moment.

[@Rachy91]

I was setting in church this morning smiling thinking of this video.

[@stewartanderson6433]

He missed that which is reserved for music leaders only, “petting the dog.”

[@jmjblm]

😂 Now to go to church and not laugh.......

[@aisleybarth5100]

Proudly use The Touchdown

[@kaylaruthhall38]

Tim is so very Very Very Funny , I watch this all the time

[@jerryjohnson9531]

I just discovered Tim Hawkins by accident recently. He is so funny! Kind of a Christian version of Robin Williams.

[@JanGratzl]

Because of this video I have to stifle my laughter at church

[@houserfamily08]

At the risk…haha, God is a funny God!! He loves to laugh!! If we can't laugh at ourselves, with God…If we can't have fun!! Than Idk…Joy is such a good thing.

[@houserfamily08]

yes he does.

[@thesaintmustwalkalone708]

Where does the BIBLE say God is a funny God? We need to be cautious giving attributes to God that are not mentioned in the bible simply because we like them. God may be a funny God, and he may not be. Either way, He is still God.

[@robertsanchez3732]

@@thesaintmustwalkalone708 What did you just prove by trying to put someone down who is full of joy and the love of our Father. Once you really know God and he speaks to you, you can see that he is a funny God and wants us to be joyful and enjoy what hes created for us.

[@tomsawyer5491]

robert sanchez he wasn’t putting anyone down, of all of God’s creation we need to have the utmost care. Worship is what we are made for. He is the potter we are only clay. Worship should always be centered on God not what makes us entertained

[@FireLordJohn3191]

Lindy Johnson God made cats and dogs. They’re very funny.

[@donna5528]

Tim is too funny. I love the comedy routines.

[@sydkaykay]

My church isn’t a hand raising church but I’ve been to a couple hand raising churches before so now imma have this video in my head lol

[@QuantumParticle]

So true it's scary.

[@justali8363]

I have 2 more to add onto this: 1. The cross 2. The T-Rex 🦖 And I feel that I don’t even need to explain what they are cos we all what they are and who does them. I mean there has been times when people have been “washing the windows” and moved right into my worship space and nearly hit me in the face

[@4xdblack]

You think God doesn't see this and laugh himself? I like to think that our great merciful, forgiving, loving, joyful God isn't so quick to be offended by stuff like this.

[@TheHouseOfJokes]

Thanks a lot for the truly great youtube video. I am looking forward to looking at several more of your youtube videos real shortly.

[@williamsadoski1510]

Lol Tim!Now I'm going to think of this during praise and worship.(I do them all).!😊

[@CGholl]

absolutely hysterical!!! I actually learned sumthin'! LOL

[@TazHall]

When I worship I look like I'm waterbending and it's AWESOME 😎 LOVE dancing for God, very healing and joyful💕🌿

[@Malhaloc]

You do tai chi in church?

[@elizabethlyon8104]

Someone at my church on Sunday was doing "My fish was this big." 😊

[@1BADDAD]

hahahahah!

[@nighttime5585]

I saw some people do heart burn, Mufasa, and wash the window lol

[@hikarusenpai3868]

You need to tell them *god is here* 😂

[@pippetandpossum]

I like "the funnel", it's my go to

[@knxcholx]

I've done carry the tv a lot 😂

[@mskathyreads]

Johnny my son has really loved getting to know you! I hope to meet you in person someday! Your videos are a hoot!

[@abigaildash]

I love him! He’s hilarious.

[@Goldies86]

Wash the windows 😂😂😂 This clip never gets old!!

[@cynthiaagatha5744]

🤣🤣🤣 Thank you Christa Smith for introducing Tim Hawkins video in your book.. It made my day..

[@angeladerrick1510]

Saw a guy doing the Jersey Shore fist pump at a church in Boise

[@stealthlock6634]

Mine is even subtler than carry the Tv, I do it at my non hand raising church sometimes, I just cup my hands together facing upwards on the pew in front of me. I call it “check out this cool bug I found”

[@FaithfulHorrorhound]

About a year since I've watched this. Still hilarious!

[@JesusIsEverything411]

I got the digital download! You won't be disappointed!

[@Sarah-cb6cb]

I’m a mix of “my fish is this big” and “hold my baby”...I guess I’m “hold my fish”

[@JontheBerean]

😅👐🐠

[@talfacprez]

I would take an old Baptist Minister friend of mine to Gaither Concerts when they would come to town. He told me an interesting thing. He said you can tell the Baptist from the Charismatics because the Baptists only raise one hand. As the concert was going. I caught myself looking at the crowd more than I was looking at Bill and Gloria to see where the Baptists were setting.

[@moisesg.v.1575]

Hahaha!!! So funny and so true... It's good to laugh at ourselves every now and then.

[@littledrummerdude27]

Completely understand!! I'm a drummer so I'm always drumming on the chair in front of me...because what else would i do if there is music playing?? lol

[@anthonypalmer8342]

I found this at church camp one of the leader thought it would be funny for worship it was lol I love this vid I do the first one all the time

[@クロウ-y9i]

"Give the Lord a high-five."

[@jcampdpeter]

you could get taken to the doctor for raising hands during service at my church.....hhahahahaha

[@olive996]

Both hand raisers and non hand raisers believe that hand raisers are possessed. But they can't seem to agree on what they're possessed by.

[@andytaylor1588]

OOOHHHH!!!! where is your church? My neck hurts and I'll raise my hands if you fellas will pay the medical bill!

[@augustcleavitt]

Olive, the overall fruit reveals what are the true roots.

[@carolelisson8252]

No one makes me laugh at myself harder than Tim!

[@KikiBurke]

Yep! My new fav comedian

[@scottknight1301]

Mine is the one handed version of carry the TV called I'll have that.

[@ALu-nq8rf]

You're both very right! I admit I giggled at this only because I realize he was exaggerating for the most part. Some of those I've never seen before and I think he was just making it up to exaggerate 'levels' at which people raise their hands. But really, this was more of a miss with Tim because people have different levels of comfort and ways of worshiping.

[@lastdaysguitar]

TIM! Why did you DO that? now I will be self concious of everything!!! Thanks alot brudda Tim....

[@WovenandSpun89]

Amazing awesome hilarious!! 😂😂 Heartburn is my fav 😍

[@netanyacoston190]

My pastor just referenced this video in his sermon!

[@jamesleesley]

Brilliant.

[@shawnamcclaflin4752]

The CIRcle of Liiiife! Love that Mufasa! 😄🙏🙏🙏

[@robbieslater1951]

Spot on 👍 I use a variety of styles. School room, hold the baby and rocking boat which is swaying the body side to side with no hands lol 😂 😂😂

[@twiggy8150]

He was amazing, I got to see him in concert in Boring, Oregon.

[@marthaiselaortega6860]

Tim Hakins in Boring??? jaja

[@GouKaNaAi]

I feel personally attacked with the wash-the-window one. 😅🤣🙋🏾‍♀️

[@augustcleavitt]

😂

[@jonengler1296]

Not bad, but he needs to get on the three latest ones - Kari Jobe's "dribble the basketball", the Hillsong Flying Squirrel, and the Bethel balance beam.

[@augustcleavitt]

😂

[@polarbearlover27]

I learned a few new ones, I am a hand raiser at a church that is really not a hand raising church

[@lilsisasu]

My church is not a hand raising church, but there’s one lady who does almost every Sunday. If I happen to see it, I almost always think of this! 😂

[@katiesimmons97ks]

I love Tim Hawkins.

[@connorveenstra]

This is my family's favorite sketch by him.

[@indodinoyoutube]

I got the magnet of this from a show of his. My second most prized possession (first is the mug I got from the same show)

[@Chrismasfish]

I have this DVD. I got for Christmas. I about died laughing while watching this.

[@EugeniaWilson-h4k]

Loved it

[@EmmaVIL]

Oh my goodness this was ten years ago...

[@rubenhiebert]

Last time I went I chose a jumping jacks church

[@JoshMcSwain]

When doing the double light bulbs, if you have open palms with your fingers pointed up would you call that one the "don't shoot"? I noticed myself doing it in church yesterday.

[@Thomas116-m2n]

I cannot be in worship service and NOT think of this.

[@raysonraypay5885]

need more of this

[@barbaro267]

Hold My Baby is my favorite worship hand raise :)

[@emmitthanner8779]

You are awesome Tim

[@_Ast-Gaming_]

Ahh saw him live and at the show he created a new one called dead parachuter.

[@barbaro267]

Is that one similar to the Rocky one, but your head is hanging and you are looking down? Because no one does that. That's weird lol.

[@augustcleavitt]

Anything people do in sincere worship of the one and only Lord, that isn’t known to be sin, is never weird to the Lord and that’s all that counts.

[@lisamgonzales73]

Double heart burn for sure..❤️

[@venessa32]

He must be an Apostles/Pentecostal because that's how we worship.

[@knittedpugs]

+Assyrian-Aramean Apostolic Some Baptists do it too. But then some Baptists will also roll on the floor during that time and that's one reason we became Methodists. my mom said I took it to far and we had to find a new church.

[@thesnowwhite2]

If we are being technical it would be the Rafiki because he was the one who held Simba like that at the top of Pride Rock. Simba just sat there and got held. But Mufasa is more fun to say...say it again ;)

[@katiev3737]

Does anyone know what Tim Hawkins video he says "I'm sorry, I thought it was a Volvo."?

[@JesusIsEverything411]

That bit makes me want to buy that shirt!

[@Larph13]

I do the light bulbs and pointer and "give the Lord a high five".

[@craighill5827]

So funny, true and slightly embarrassing.

[@ermelinda2223]

You nailed that!

[@Brigitte2222]

I try not to think about this when im in church worshipping😂

[@kuninwinged1]

I go straight for the TOUCHDOWN!!!!!!

[@Holywarrior95]

The people who raise your hands, let me tell you something... God bless you. I might have a grin on my face when you do it. Fair warning

[@eringailfarms]

I love this guy!!!!

[@davidmorad4405]

Awesome stuff!

[@lucybrenton]

This still has me giggling!

[@Caladesi143]

Saw a guy standing behind me at church one morning and he literally looked like he was trying to land a plane . . . .if he has big orange gloves on i would have ducked for cover!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@juliewagner9645]

permission to use this in worship this Sunday?

[@bagheera4997]

Proud to say I am guilty on the last few..... even in prayer! :D

[@CeruleanRosePetals16]

If only I had seen this before I went to my first hand-raising church! xD I have been an LCMS Lutheran my whole life. I've gone to a Lutheran church ever Sunday, except for may be once or twice when I went to a Catholic church with relatives. Then, I attended a service with my friends, who go to a "hand raising church". Imagine my surprise when everyone was raising their hands during service! I had never seen or done anything like that before, I was so scared! xD

[@tbyers]

I showed this to my minster and he laughed and laughed.
