00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:47,280
Sometimes we get the joy to look
back and see what God has done

65
00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:50,880
when in the midst of a hard
time, it's hard to know and see

66
00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:53,520
what He's doing.
But He's so good and He loves us

67
00:06:53,520 --> 00:07:08,720
so much, so let's worship Him
as you.

68
00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:17,600
Give life you are love.
You bring light to the darkness,

69
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:28,360
You give home, You restore every
heart that is broken.

70
00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:44,000
Where are you, Lord?
It's your brain in our lives, So

71
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:48,720
we pour round our praise.
We pour round our praise.

72
00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:56,400
It's your breath in our lives,
So we pour round our praise.

73
00:07:56,440 --> 00:08:11,840
You only.
'Cause you give light, you are

74
00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:21,320

darkness, you give hope, you

75
00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:25,800

00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:39,080
That is broken.
Strain on you Lord, and it's

77
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:46,480
your rap in our lungs.
So we bore out our praise.

00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:48,720

So we born our praise in you
only.

84
00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:28,080
You know, praise is the only
thing that God can't give

85
00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:31,080
Himself, and so the whole point
of His song is that He put

86
00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:33,000
breath in our lungs and we get
to give it back to Him.

87
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:43,080

00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:25,720
we're not going to do anything
weird.

165
00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:27,800
We just want to be able to have
a way to send you out some

166
00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:30,400
information this week about real
life, let you know a little bit

167
00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:33,160
about more about who we are and
maybe how you can get connected

168
00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:35,400
here and and live on mission
with us.

169
00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:37,160
And that's what we like to say
here at real life.

170
00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:41,600
We are a church on a mission and
that mission is this is to see

171
00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:45,320
people far from God discover
their real life and their

172
00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:48,360
purpose in Jesus.
And what that all that means is

173
00:18:48,360 --> 00:18:51,120
this it's our tagline.
But what we know is, is that

174
00:18:51,120 --> 00:18:53,880
when you live in this world and
you do the day in, day out

175
00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:56,960
grind, you get beat up, you get
beat down, sometimes you get

176
00:18:56,960 --> 00:18:59,080
thrown away.
When you walk away from that

177
00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:01,440
situation, you feel useless.
You don't feel like you're here

178
00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:03,800
for any reason.
But that's a lie from the enemy.

179
00:19:04,120 --> 00:19:07,040
Because the truth is, guys got
something so big and so

180
00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:10,080
important that he wants you to
know that it's a purpose and a

181
00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:13,240
mission to be on with him.
And that's what we exist for is

182
00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:16,160
to get people connected.
So we will love it if you were

183
00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:18,880
on mission with us.
One of the ways that we go on

184
00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:21,440
mission together as people
outside of these four walls

185
00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:23,880
because we say that real life,
it's on Sunday and this is this

186
00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:25,960
gathering, but we gather
throughout the weeks and

187
00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:28,720
something called live groups and
have you guys enjoyed?

188
00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:30,520
We're getting kick off the
second week of live groups.

189
00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:32,360
Have you guys love live groups
so far?

190
00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:36,200
And it's been so cool.
We are, we just, we kicked off

191
00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:37,800
our life group.
So I'm going to, I've got the

192
00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:39,560
mic, so I'm going to brag on our
Group A little bit.

193
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:43,920
So we got to hang out and it's
cool because some of my groups

194
00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:47,320
have been kind of some regulars,
but this group has been a lot of

195
00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:50,080
new people that have never been
in the same room outside of

196
00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:53,360
these four walls together.
And So what they've got to do is

197
00:19:53,360 --> 00:19:55,920
already within the first week is
they've gotten to know some new

198
00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:58,640
names, some new faces, learn
some new stories.

199
00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:01,640
And that's the goal of every
life group, is to have a group

200
00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:04,360
of people that can support each.
Each other and so if you ever

201
00:20:04,360 --> 00:20:06,440
found your live group there's a
board out there we would love to

202
00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:09,840
have you it is not too late this
isn't a once you jump in you you

203
00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:13,160
can't get it in or if you have
it so we have room for you at a

204
00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:15,920
live group and there's a there's
a group that will meet your

205
00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:18,960
needs as far as time and space
and just location.

206
00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:20,440
So we'd love to have you want it
this week.

207
00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:23,600
So we are in the middle of our
series called Elephant in the

208
00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:25,720
Room and an elephant in the room
is the question that.

209
00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:28,880
Maybe you think?
You're the only person thinking

210
00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:32,080
about but you're scared to ask.
But everybody sees it.

211
00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:35,000
And honestly, I guarantee that
if you've got a question, that's

212
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:36,760
the elephant in the room,
somebody else is dealing with

213
00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:39,680
the same issue.
And I want you guys to know that

214
00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:42,600
the world uses those things
against you to hold you back,

215
00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:46,000
give you fear, give you anxiety.
But man, God is in this and He

216
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:48,800
wants to heal your heart, heal
your anxiety, give you a

217
00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:50,560
purpose.
And we'll do that through the

218
00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:52,120
Bible.
And just going back to what

219
00:20:52,120 --> 00:20:54,480
God's got for you.
So we're going to continue our

220
00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:56,320
series all over the room.
So I want you guys to make

221
00:20:56,320 --> 00:20:58,280
Pastor Sean feel welcome.
Just give a big round of

222
00:20:58,280 --> 00:20:59,600
applause if we continue the
series.

223
00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:07,200
That's job, Barry.
Well, welcome to the 9:00.

224
00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:09,720
Come on, somebody.
You guys did it.

225
00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:12,720
You got up early.
Now, some of you aren't here

226
00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:15,440
because you're gonna sleep in
and go back to the 10:45.

227
00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:18,200
But I love you guys.
Give yourselves a hand for being

00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:21,200

change our setup time.

230
00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:24,920
So I was proud of those guys.
It's going to be awesome, man,

231
00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:26,440
making room for people who are
new to our church.

232
00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:28,280
But I'll celebrate a few things
this morning.

233
00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:32,240
One, this last Sunday night, our
youth group, Real life youth

00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:34,480

00:21:56,800 --> 00:22:00,000
diving into man totally
different topic as we dive into

243
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:02,520
our 8th birthday.
I wasn't anticipating this

244
00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:06,360
concept and this topic today
before we jump in over 8th

245
00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:08,920

just start on the team, cuz you

248
00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:16,520
might just jumped in thought,
man, it's not for me yet.

249
00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:17,800
I would encourage you to be
there.

250
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:19,440
It's gonna be Tuesday night at
6:30.

We're doing a gross.

00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:26,280
It is a it is a deal like we
have built 90 center blocks

00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:29,920
above ground pig roast.
We've got Lucas somewhere maybe

254
00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:32,480

Monday night and he's going to

256
00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:37,520

party.

257
00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:39,440
So it's going to be awesome.

season, what God's doing really
the next chapter we're going to

260
00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:45,560
write, but it's going to be
exciting.

261
00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:47,560
So if you can please make it
out.

262
00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:49,840
Amen.

So if 200 show up, it's like,
oh, hey, you know, sorry, not

266
00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:58,640
enough pig around here, but it's
gonna be awesome.

267
00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:00,920
So well, today we're diving in
elf in the room.

268
00:23:01,040 --> 00:23:03,360
There's probably no bigger
elephant in the room, maybe

269
00:23:03,360 --> 00:23:07,040
elephant in the country than
what we saw this last week.

270
00:23:07,360 --> 00:23:09,040
And it is just I don't know
about anybody.

271
00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:12,040
And we lose some sleep this last
week in base table, late

272
00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:15,240
scrolling, watching figure out
what's going on, just seeing

273
00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:16,560
things.
Course, I'm talking about

274
00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:19,560
Charlie Kirk and the situation.
I'll just say this.

275
00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:23,240
Today's message is about godly
response to this OK, I want you

276
00:23:23,320 --> 00:23:26,800
to think through what Jesus has
for us, but I don't let you I I

277
00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:28,640
lost sleep.
I was scrolling late Wednesday,

278
00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:30,600
way too late.
And I was like, Lord, what do

279
00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:32,720
you what, what's going on?
What, what's response should we

280
00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:33,960
have?
What, what should we doing?

281
00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:36,320
And it kind of puts all these
questions right, like how, how

282
00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:38,240
should politics and faith come
together?

283
00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:39,760
Or this question kept kind of
mind.

284
00:23:40,120 --> 00:23:43,080
Where's the humanity?
Where's the humanity?

285
00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:46,640
Like, like, like look at the
posts in the comments, like this

286
00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:49,600
is insane.
Like the hate and the

287
00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:52,320
demonization and the breakdown
in this unity.

288
00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:54,840
Like there's so much going on.
It's not just out there.

289
00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:58,720
It's actually in here too.
Like as Christians, like there's

290
00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:00,160
so much anger.
And I'm not saying you shouldn't

291
00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:00,960
be angry.
Amen.

292
00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:03,600
Because there's some righteous
in the nation you see in this.

293
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:06,200
So, so it's bothering me.
It's like, what is the response

294
00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:10,280
as a Christian to Charlie Kirk's
assassination to to his death?

295
00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:15,600
Like how do we respond to the
division to the hate, to the to

296
00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:18,040
the politics, to everything
around the situation?

297
00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:19,800
What is the response to the
Christian?

298
00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:22,440
I think the question that most
people are asking is not the

299
00:24:22,440 --> 00:24:25,200
real question.
Every question asking is what do

300
00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:28,560
you think of Charlie Kirk?
That has been the question that

301
00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:30,520
has been the rhetoric.
It is for the red this morning

302
00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:32,160
during setup is it was the
rhetoric.

303
00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:33,800
What is this?
What is this and everybody's

304
00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:35,400
opinions on it.
But I think a greater question

305
00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:39,280
is what do people see about
Jesus and us as respond to

306
00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:41,480
Charlie Kirk?
What does Jesus want us to do?

307
00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:44,360
Are people seeing Christ in us
through this?

308
00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:46,640
Amen.
And so today I'm gonna dive in.

309
00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:48,200
I'm probably gonna step off some
toes.

310
00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:50,840
Amen.
This is not, this is not a

311
00:24:50,840 --> 00:24:53,200
political message, OK?
This is not about left or right,

312
00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:55,360
Amen.
Amen.

313
00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:57,880
I'm not, I'm not pushing
politics on the stage.

314
00:24:58,160 --> 00:24:59,240
OK?
A matter of fact, today's

315
00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:01,360
message isn't actually even
about red, white or blue.

316
00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:04,000
Today is gonna be thy Kingdom
come.

317
00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:06,680
Thy will be done.
Like I'm gonna take it to a

318
00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:10,080
whole nother level, like it's
gonna be greater than what you

319
00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:11,760
see.
But I will say this, this is not

320
00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:13,800
political message, but it's also
not politically correct.

321
00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:17,400
Like, I'm a preacher, dude.
I'm not a politician, Amen?

322
00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:21,120
Like I'm gonna say things that
go against the culture, like

323
00:25:21,120 --> 00:25:23,040
we're not called as Christians
that fit in the culture.

324
00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:25,680
Like I'm not gonna lose my salt
and my life by trying to

325
00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:27,720
navigate, not step on people's
toes, Amen?

326
00:25:28,320 --> 00:25:30,320
That's just who I am.
That's what Christ has called us

327
00:25:30,320 --> 00:25:32,320
to do.
And so if we fit in, that's not

328
00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:34,440
the goal.
The goal is to stand out and to

329
00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:35,960
stand up.
And so that's what we're gonna

330
00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:38,160
do today in the gathering.
So it's gonna be good.

331
00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:40,120
So you think about this
situation.

332
00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:43,480
What is our response?
My prayer for you guys is that

333
00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:46,640
we would think about what Jesus
has for us, that that his

334
00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:50,000
Kingdom come, that that we'd
stop demonizing people who think

335
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:52,440
different than us today.
Today's about unity.

336
00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:55,520
Today's about forgiveness.
Today's about Kingdom.

337
00:25:55,760 --> 00:25:58,560
Today's about words that I
haven't seen posted quite a bit.

338
00:25:59,040 --> 00:26:02,320
I've been seeing this edge this,
this come to peace with God.

339
00:26:02,320 --> 00:26:04,600
Like what's God's direction in
this?

340
00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:07,240
And I've wrestled this all week.
God, what would you have us to

341
00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:08,640
do?
How do we respond as a

342
00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:11,080
Christian?
Not just as a nationalist, not

343
00:26:11,080 --> 00:26:13,600
even as a Christian nationalist,
but as a Christian?

344
00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:16,000
What you how their sponsor we
have today.

345
00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:18,400
And I came down to that Kingdom
come that Jesus saw on the

346
00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:19,040
throne.
Amen.

347
00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:21,840
So only give you guys 2 truths.
And I'm going to break it down

348
00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:24,840
and apply it about the direction
we should go from here.

349
00:26:25,040 --> 00:26:28,360
And #1 is this that Jesus is
different type of king who

350
00:26:28,360 --> 00:26:31,080
reigns and rules on a different
type of Kingdom?

351
00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:33,840
You're going to see this.
And Jesus being crucified is

352
00:26:33,840 --> 00:26:36,880
found in John chapter 18, this
Republic.

353
00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:39,920
He looks at Jesus and he looks
at the Jews and he says, take

354
00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:43,320
him being Jesus said, take him
yourselves and judge him by your

355
00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:45,120
own law.
He's saying just judge him.

356
00:26:45,120 --> 00:26:48,280
Like, I don't think about this.
I'm a Roman, you know, I'm over

357
00:26:48,280 --> 00:26:49,560
the Romans.
I have nothing to do about this

358
00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:52,240
Jewish issue.
And look at the Jews cried out.

359
00:26:52,520 --> 00:26:54,480
They said we have no right to
execute anyone.

360
00:26:54,520 --> 00:26:58,560
They wanted Jesus dead.
That was the whole point, he

361
00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:00,360
said.
They took the place to fulfill

362
00:27:00,360 --> 00:27:02,080
that.
Jesus had said this took place

363
00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:04,520
to feel what Jesus said said
about the kind of death he was

364
00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:05,760
going to die.
Jesus knew he was going to be

365
00:27:05,760 --> 00:27:08,440
crucified and this was going to
be the path he's going to walk

366
00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:10,360
down.
The pilot went back inside the

367
00:27:10,360 --> 00:27:12,240
palace.
He summoned Jesus and they asked

368
00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:17,000
him, are you the what's it say?
Are you the king of the Jews

369
00:27:17,560 --> 00:27:20,720
like you use the king and look
at Jesus response.

370
00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:24,120
He says that your own idea Jesus
asked or did others talk you

371
00:27:24,120 --> 00:27:26,720
talk to you about me because I'm
a Jew.

372
00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:29,880
What he's saying is like how
should I know what in the world

373
00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:32,160
is going on the situation.
I have no idea Jesus what he's

374
00:27:32,160 --> 00:27:34,480
talking about said your own
people and chief priest.

375
00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:37,720
They hand you over to me.
What is it that you have done?

376
00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:42,840
Look at his response.
Jesus said my yeah, my Kingdom,

377
00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:47,120
my reign, my rule is what?
What's it say?

378
00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:51,720
Yeah, my rule is not this world,
but my rule isn't divided by

379
00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:54,280
political, geographic boundaries
or elected officials.

380
00:27:54,440 --> 00:27:56,200
My rule is over a Kingdom.
Amen.

381
00:27:57,200 --> 00:28:00,240
Amen.
And if you're my servants, if it

382
00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:04,920
were like if my Kingdom was
earthly, my servants would fight

383
00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:09,120
to prevent my arrest by the
Jewish leaders.

384
00:28:09,680 --> 00:28:12,600
If you think about that, if all
you have in this world is an

385
00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:15,120
earthly Kingdom, I guess you
would fight.

386
00:28:16,920 --> 00:28:20,880
Think about it.
If your hope is in a party, if

387
00:28:20,880 --> 00:28:24,040
your hope is in, well, we're a
Republican nation or a Democrat

388
00:28:24,040 --> 00:28:27,640
nation, and that's all it's in,
you will fight because that's

389
00:28:27,640 --> 00:28:31,360
all you have.
But your hope is in Jesus, that

390
00:28:31,360 --> 00:28:33,200
his Kingdom is not of this
earth.

391
00:28:33,560 --> 00:28:36,000
It's from what?
Another place?

392
00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:39,240
Amen.
It's it's from heaven, it's from

393
00:28:39,240 --> 00:28:41,920
a throne, it's from an outside
boundary.

394
00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:43,640
It's spiritual forces and
powers.

395
00:28:43,640 --> 00:28:46,400
It's way more spiritual than we
can even think or imagine.

396
00:28:46,400 --> 00:28:48,880
And so if you have a hard time
sleeping, I think some people

397
00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:50,960
just have been covered in fear
like this.

398
00:28:50,960 --> 00:28:52,920
This is the new standard.
Like it's everywhere.

399
00:28:52,920 --> 00:28:55,080
These the shootings.
It's not just, it's not just

400
00:28:55,080 --> 00:28:57,960
Charlie Kirk, right?
We had the school in Jeffco.

401
00:28:58,160 --> 00:29:00,880
We have all these different
shootings and churches and

402
00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:03,880
hospitals and it's schools.
It's like the world's lost its

403
00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:06,880
mind and and that's probably
nothing new.

404
00:29:07,760 --> 00:29:09,640
I mean, you think about all the
martyrs and people who've been

405
00:29:09,640 --> 00:29:12,160
killed, even the 1st century,
even John the Baptist, through

406
00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:15,240
all the disciples, there's been
persecution of the things of

407
00:29:15,240 --> 00:29:17,080
God.
There's persecution, there's

408
00:29:17,280 --> 00:29:18,720
uprisings.
But here's the point.

409
00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:22,720
No matter what happens in this
world, Jesus is still king.

410
00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:25,280
Jesus still sits on the throne.
Amen.

411
00:29:25,920 --> 00:29:28,880
There's no shooter, there's no
agenda, there's no politician,

412
00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:32,120
there's no rhetoric.
There's no communist capitalist.

413
00:29:32,280 --> 00:29:35,640
There's no blue, red, green.
There's nothing that will stop

414
00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:40,280
Jesus from being on the throne.
I think some of us lost too much

415
00:29:40,280 --> 00:29:42,480
sleep this week.
Some of us may have said some

416
00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:43,920
things on social media we
shouldn't have said.

417
00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:45,840
Some of us may have thought some
things you shouldn't have

418
00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:46,320
thought.
Amen.

419
00:29:46,840 --> 00:29:48,360
Now some of it is righteous.
Amen.

420
00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:51,560
There's some things that are
right about it and things we

421
00:29:51,560 --> 00:29:55,080
feel, but we can't forget that
Jesus is in the throne, even

422
00:29:55,080 --> 00:29:57,360
over ideologies and all the
things we're seeing.

423
00:29:57,640 --> 00:29:59,320
But I think this week rattled
our hearts.

424
00:29:59,320 --> 00:30:01,520
At least it did mine.
I was like, wow, like the

425
00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:03,840
world's on fire right now.
Like if you didn't have the

426
00:30:03,840 --> 00:30:06,720
opinion, you got opinion and it
shook to the core.

427
00:30:06,720 --> 00:30:09,120
It's revealing what our hope is
in.

428
00:30:09,680 --> 00:30:12,080
Like is, is there hope in a
nation or is there hope in the

429
00:30:12,080 --> 00:30:14,480
one who sets the boundaries of
the nations?

430
00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:17,520
Like is there hoping elected
officials or in the one that

431
00:30:17,520 --> 00:30:21,160
it's eternal like what passion
do we have for the gospel?

432
00:30:21,800 --> 00:30:25,240
Like we were fired up on this
topic, but where's our passion

433
00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:26,640
for Christ?
Is it the one that holds the

434
00:30:26,640 --> 00:30:29,680
keys to life and death?
Like was Jesus shocked?

435
00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:33,720
Like Jesus know what's going to
happen as he lost his ability to

436
00:30:33,720 --> 00:30:36,760
lead.
No Jesus ways are higher and

437
00:30:36,760 --> 00:30:38,280
Jesus in charge of our nation,
Amen.

438
00:30:39,120 --> 00:30:41,320
Jesus sets the boundaries.
Jesus, when you think about

439
00:30:41,320 --> 00:30:43,880
elections, we we vote, but Jesus
puts who he wants in.

440
00:30:43,880 --> 00:30:46,000
Amen.
But whether you agree or

441
00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:47,760
disagree, Jesus puts him in and
he rises up.

442
00:30:47,760 --> 00:30:50,440
Some people as judgment and some
people as leaders.

443
00:30:50,760 --> 00:30:53,320
It's just how God does things.
But if you're struggling to

444
00:30:53,320 --> 00:30:55,560
sleep at night, you gotta
remember your king reigns.

445
00:30:55,760 --> 00:30:59,440
Psalms 48 says this.
It says in peace I lay down and

446
00:30:59,440 --> 00:31:04,200
sleep for you alone.
Lord make me dwell in what no

447
00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:06,640
matter what happens and there's
been major persecution,

448
00:31:06,840 --> 00:31:08,800
especially in the Bible.
If you read anything on first or

449
00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:11,240
second Peter is major
persecution.

450
00:31:11,520 --> 00:31:14,480
We're an emperor is literally
killing Christians.

451
00:31:14,720 --> 00:31:18,200
The edict, the creed, the law is
to kill Christians and they're

452
00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:21,960
being they're being crucified
and that's how Peter would die

453
00:31:22,400 --> 00:31:25,480
like this isn't anything new.
Amen To see this kind of

454
00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:29,560
persecution against anybody but
we rest in the Lord and so Jesus

455
00:31:29,560 --> 00:31:31,640
rules and reigns a different
type of Kingdom that our

456
00:31:31,640 --> 00:31:34,360
response should be different
than the rest of the world and

457
00:31:34,360 --> 00:31:35,560
so encourage you the couple
thoughts.

458
00:31:35,560 --> 00:31:39,880
One is be angry and sin not be
angry and sin not.

459
00:31:40,440 --> 00:31:43,880
It's easy to sin when you're
angry Amen.

460
00:31:44,560 --> 00:31:46,720
It's easy to take it too far,
but there is a righteous

461
00:31:46,720 --> 00:31:50,400
ignation.
What we saw on Wednesday was in

462
00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:54,040
just Amen.
It was horrific.

463
00:31:54,360 --> 00:31:56,640
It was uncalled for.
It was against the decrees, the

464
00:31:56,640 --> 00:31:59,720
law, the against of God.
It you should be mad about that,

465
00:31:59,720 --> 00:32:01,880
Amen.
And if you didn't read post and

466
00:32:01,880 --> 00:32:04,960
you weren't upset, I don't know
if you're human, Amen.

467
00:32:05,760 --> 00:32:09,360
The comments and the things like
there should be some justice in

468
00:32:09,360 --> 00:32:11,760
your heart and some real
passion.

469
00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:14,160
It's revealed.
But the reality is there's a

470
00:32:14,160 --> 00:32:16,920
point where that ends.
And it's found in Ephesians 426.

471
00:32:17,280 --> 00:32:19,400
It says in your anger, do not
sin.

472
00:32:19,560 --> 00:32:24,640
It says do not the sun go down
while you are still angry, bring

473
00:32:24,640 --> 00:32:26,240
the KJV.
It says don't let the sun go

474
00:32:26,240 --> 00:32:30,200
down on your your wrath.
And so there is a, a spiritual

475
00:32:30,200 --> 00:32:32,240
healthy anger.
Amen.

476
00:32:33,240 --> 00:32:37,120
I, I, I, I personally find that
real awesome because I was

477
00:32:37,120 --> 00:32:39,520
really mad.
I couldn't believe it.

478
00:32:39,520 --> 00:32:41,120
I'm like, this is the, what the
world's coming to.

479
00:32:41,360 --> 00:32:43,760
I know it's like to hold a
microphone, stand on stage, say

480
00:32:43,760 --> 00:32:44,760
things.
I'm not him.

481
00:32:45,480 --> 00:32:47,680
But like, you see the shootings,
you see the stuff I've told my

482
00:32:47,680 --> 00:32:48,920
team, like, dude, we gotta do
better.

483
00:32:49,520 --> 00:32:52,280
You know, this world's so
divided and there's, there's

484
00:32:52,280 --> 00:32:55,560
just this righteousness to you.
But the end of the day, you have

485
00:32:55,560 --> 00:32:58,440
to put to bed your anger before
you go to bed.

486
00:32:59,160 --> 00:33:00,960
That's what this verse says.
Don't let sun go down.

487
00:33:00,960 --> 00:33:03,320
Don't let don't don't bring your
anger into the next day.

488
00:33:03,800 --> 00:33:06,000
Put to bed your anger before you
go to bed.

489
00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:08,920
And what's really unique about
the scripture, you may not know

490
00:33:09,120 --> 00:33:12,680
Paul is actually quoting or like
mostly quoting, but referring to

491
00:33:12,960 --> 00:33:15,960
Psalm 4/4.
This is just read Psalm 4/4.

492
00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:18,480
It's amazing.
It says be angry, do not sin.

493
00:33:19,080 --> 00:33:22,240
Sounds familiar, right?
Just ponder in your own hearts

494
00:33:22,240 --> 00:33:27,720
on your beds and be silent.
Say LA this is what Paul is

495
00:33:27,720 --> 00:33:31,720
referring to in Ephesians 426.
We said don't be angry, don't be

496
00:33:31,720 --> 00:33:35,040
angry and sin, but instead don't
let the sun go down your wrath.

497
00:33:35,200 --> 00:33:38,360
He's referring to this, this,
this verse where we we go at

498
00:33:38,520 --> 00:33:41,280
night, we lay in our beds and
you know those thoughts you have

499
00:33:41,280 --> 00:33:44,120
a night, they keep you up.
There's thoughts you're upset,

500
00:33:44,120 --> 00:33:46,160
you're trying to figure it out.
I'm I'm scrolling.

501
00:33:46,160 --> 00:33:48,960
You know, you know what in the
world is going on with this and

502
00:33:48,960 --> 00:33:51,440
you get to the point.
You guys say, Lord, what is my

503
00:33:51,440 --> 00:33:54,400
response?
Meditate on what God has God,

504
00:33:54,400 --> 00:33:56,800
I'm frustrated.
God don't know what to do God,

505
00:33:56,880 --> 00:33:59,920
how can this happen?
Why is this happening?

506
00:33:59,920 --> 00:34:02,640
Look at the division that hey,
look at this like my church.

507
00:34:02,640 --> 00:34:04,520
I got people that have somebody
says something bad, man, like

508
00:34:04,520 --> 00:34:07,480
lock their head, man, I'm sorry.
I had these conversations.

509
00:34:07,480 --> 00:34:09,199
I heard somebody laughing knows
about that, right?

510
00:34:09,639 --> 00:34:12,159
Like if somebody just push my
buttons, this is it like I'm

511
00:34:12,159 --> 00:34:14,679
ready to fight and I'm looking
at this like God, what's our

512
00:34:14,679 --> 00:34:16,880
response?
What would you respond like?

513
00:34:16,880 --> 00:34:19,920
I started thinking about John
the Baptist and how Jesus didn't

514
00:34:19,920 --> 00:34:22,480
even do anything.
Like you knew it was going to

515
00:34:22,480 --> 00:34:24,400
happen.
He's like, Yep, bring your race,

516
00:34:24,639 --> 00:34:27,120
maybe got arrested.
Jesus didn't go take him out of

517
00:34:27,120 --> 00:34:28,760
prison.
John bows to beheaded.

518
00:34:28,760 --> 00:34:31,560
His head was put on a platter.
Legit crazy.

519
00:34:32,040 --> 00:34:34,719
And Jesus kept doing ministry.
Then I thought about every one

520
00:34:34,719 --> 00:34:38,360
of the disciples that was
martyred and what Jesus, where

521
00:34:38,360 --> 00:34:40,920
was Jesus?
It was like part of the story he

522
00:34:40,920 --> 00:34:42,719
wrote.
And that's the point of like,

523
00:34:42,719 --> 00:34:45,040
right.
So I'm not like locked off the

524
00:34:45,040 --> 00:34:46,120
room, like Jesus, you're on the
throne.

525
00:34:46,760 --> 00:34:49,719
You know what's going on, Amen.
And he says his words, forgive

526
00:34:49,719 --> 00:34:53,600
them for the none of what they
do like that was Jesus heart for

527
00:34:53,600 --> 00:34:56,239
the lost, Amen.
That that was what he was

528
00:34:56,480 --> 00:34:59,360
thinking on the cross.
And so I started thinking, Lord,

529
00:34:59,360 --> 00:35:00,640
what do you have?
But you have to get to the point

530
00:35:00,640 --> 00:35:01,960
where you have to listen.
The Holy Spirit.

531
00:35:02,320 --> 00:35:03,480
Here's what we're not supposed
to do.

532
00:35:03,480 --> 00:35:07,440
It didn't say go to bed, score
your phone, build yourself full

533
00:35:07,440 --> 00:35:09,760
an ideology and then fall
asleep.

534
00:35:09,760 --> 00:35:14,120
Rule ticked off, wake up, turn
on the preferred network of

535
00:35:14,320 --> 00:35:17,480
whatever politically bought
program you like and then get

536
00:35:17,480 --> 00:35:19,680
fired up.
Amen.

537
00:35:20,600 --> 00:35:22,920
This is what it doesn't say.
There's actually some amazing

538
00:35:22,920 --> 00:35:25,320
videos that that people have put
out.

539
00:35:25,320 --> 00:35:27,200
There's a man who actually knew
the shooter and he said, you

540
00:35:27,200 --> 00:35:30,640
know, this, this social media
that that we're filling

541
00:35:30,640 --> 00:35:33,880
ourselves with so much is
indoctrinating my culture and

542
00:35:33,880 --> 00:35:36,280
it's killing us.
I thought, man, that's a good

543
00:35:36,280 --> 00:35:38,920
perspective.
Like where have we made room for

544
00:35:38,920 --> 00:35:42,440
God?
Have we been still and know that

545
00:35:42,440 --> 00:35:45,480
he is Lord?
Have we meditated and wrestled

546
00:35:45,480 --> 00:35:48,000
with the Lord and came to the
point of silence and the Holy

547
00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:51,120
Spirit has spoken to us?
Are we acting out of a Holy

548
00:35:51,120 --> 00:35:54,400
Spirit action?
Are we presenting what the God

549
00:35:54,400 --> 00:35:56,880
would have in this moment?
Because what we say and what we

550
00:35:56,880 --> 00:35:59,800
post says a lot about who we are
because we're getting squeezed

551
00:35:59,800 --> 00:36:01,880
right now.
There's some pressure on us

552
00:36:01,880 --> 00:36:04,520
right now, right?
And what what's coming out of us

553
00:36:04,920 --> 00:36:06,880
is, is this, is this the
wholeness of God?

554
00:36:07,120 --> 00:36:09,680
Is this the righteous of God?
Is this the justice of God?

555
00:36:09,920 --> 00:36:12,640
Is this from God?
Or is this just me?

556
00:36:13,200 --> 00:36:16,360
It's just now is my time to
speak up and maybe say things

557
00:36:16,360 --> 00:36:20,520
that don't look like Jesus.
And so we can take it a little

558
00:36:20,520 --> 00:36:22,680
too far.
It says you're angry.

559
00:36:22,880 --> 00:36:26,200
If you turn it into hate, it
goes too far.

560
00:36:26,200 --> 00:36:29,040
And this is what it says in
first John 315.

561
00:36:30,160 --> 00:36:33,200
You cross the line says anyone
who hates a brother or sister is

562
00:36:33,200 --> 00:36:36,200
a what?
And you know, no murder has

563
00:36:36,200 --> 00:36:40,560
eternal life residing in him.
Like what makes us different

564
00:36:41,400 --> 00:36:44,520
then all the people then the
shooter, even in the, in the

565
00:36:44,520 --> 00:36:46,520
people that we hate.
If we have hate in our life,

566
00:36:47,280 --> 00:36:48,560
like what makes us any
different?

567
00:36:49,360 --> 00:36:53,080
Like what makes us stand out?
Like what, what, what shapes us.

568
00:36:53,080 --> 00:36:56,000
And the Bible says even if we
ideologically didn't like

569
00:36:56,000 --> 00:36:58,280
somebody, we hate somebody,
we're already committed murder.

570
00:36:58,680 --> 00:37:01,480
We all know, like the all the
politics and the things in front

571
00:37:01,480 --> 00:37:03,480
of us that there's a lot of
people being murdered in

572
00:37:03,480 --> 00:37:05,880
people's hearts.
Amen.

573
00:37:06,760 --> 00:37:09,560
There's a lot of hate.
That was the scariest thing of

574
00:37:09,560 --> 00:37:12,760
this whole situation is the
amount of hate that's behind all

575
00:37:12,760 --> 00:37:14,920
this.
It's incredible, but doesn't

576
00:37:14,920 --> 00:37:16,800
come from Christ, that comes
from the world.

577
00:37:17,200 --> 00:37:20,360
There's no foundation.
And so as a Christian, how do we

578
00:37:20,360 --> 00:37:22,600
respond?
Like, how are we to really

579
00:37:22,600 --> 00:37:24,080
respond?
Like what should we see?

580
00:37:24,240 --> 00:37:26,480
And this is, I didn't see a lot
of this.

581
00:37:26,920 --> 00:37:29,680
I didn't see this, but our
response, we want to do

582
00:37:29,680 --> 00:37:31,200
something should be prayer and
fasting.

583
00:37:32,120 --> 00:37:33,240
That should be a response.
Amen.

584
00:37:34,480 --> 00:37:35,960
Didn't really get too excited on
that one.

585
00:37:37,400 --> 00:37:40,360
Prayer and fasting that I don't
see as the natural inclination.

586
00:37:40,360 --> 00:37:41,760
You know, we're like taking up
arms.

587
00:37:42,120 --> 00:37:45,040
It's like where's the prayer and
the fasting and there's someone

588
00:37:45,040 --> 00:37:47,360
to ask you a prayer and fast for
you guys should do this this

589
00:37:47,360 --> 00:37:50,680
week.
Prayed fast for forgiveness, for

590
00:37:50,680 --> 00:37:53,400
forgiveness because there's
words been spoken.

591
00:37:53,400 --> 00:37:55,240
There's things that happen, the
things you saw.

592
00:37:55,720 --> 00:37:58,200
There's people you talk to this
week that ticked you off.

593
00:37:58,680 --> 00:38:01,280
There's people I had
conversations with from from

594
00:38:01,280 --> 00:38:03,280
churches.
People used to go our church

595
00:38:03,400 --> 00:38:05,800
people different churches and
they're not going back to church

596
00:38:05,800 --> 00:38:08,600
this Sunday because of posts of
people.

597
00:38:09,200 --> 00:38:16,200
Not everybody goes to church as
a Republican just saying it and

598
00:38:16,200 --> 00:38:18,800
I'm I don't need to have just a
Republican church.

599
00:38:18,800 --> 00:38:21,440
Amen.
Like my goal this season not to

600
00:38:21,440 --> 00:38:25,520
filter the church and say only
Republicans say that's but

601
00:38:25,520 --> 00:38:28,200
that's what's being put out now.
I think some pastors maybe

602
00:38:28,200 --> 00:38:31,440
across some lines with some of
their rhetoric, but pray for

603
00:38:31,440 --> 00:38:32,320
forgiveness.
You're gonna be allowed

604
00:38:32,320 --> 00:38:34,000
forgiveness.
Lord, forgive us for what we've

605
00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:38,000
seen the last four days even in
the church, like there's

606
00:38:38,000 --> 00:38:39,760
mistakes have been made.
Some people might take back some

607
00:38:39,760 --> 00:38:42,760
words being spoken and look what
Jesus said on the cross in Luke

608
00:38:42,760 --> 00:38:47,360
2334.
Jesus said, Father, forgive them

609
00:38:48,160 --> 00:38:52,840
for they do not know what they
are doing.

610
00:38:53,400 --> 00:38:55,440
This isn't Jesus being
crucified.

611
00:38:55,960 --> 00:38:57,640
This is where he's hanging on
the cross.

612
00:38:57,960 --> 00:39:00,480
The Roman soldiers are crucified
Him.

613
00:39:00,480 --> 00:39:04,200
He's nailed to the cross and
this is the heart of God as he's

614
00:39:04,200 --> 00:39:08,880
being rejected by humanity and
this prayer to forgive them

615
00:39:09,000 --> 00:39:10,960
isn't just a prayer about the
Roman centurion.

616
00:39:11,560 --> 00:39:16,920
He's praying for all humanity.
Forgive them in their ignorance.

617
00:39:17,200 --> 00:39:20,880
Do not hold this sin of crucify
me against them because we all

618
00:39:20,880 --> 00:39:22,720
know God could wipe everybody
out.

619
00:39:22,720 --> 00:39:26,120
Amen.
In his heart is we I love them.

620
00:39:26,240 --> 00:39:27,200
They don't.
They're doing in their

621
00:39:27,360 --> 00:39:30,760
ignorance, in their in their
lack of truth and knowledge of

622
00:39:30,760 --> 00:39:33,920
me.
Forgive them in the face of

623
00:39:33,920 --> 00:39:38,000
cruelty and injustice, the heart
of God is peeled back and

624
00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:40,920
revealed with grace and mercy.
And listen to this.

625
00:39:40,920 --> 00:39:42,800
It wasn't based on somebody
deserving it.

626
00:39:44,000 --> 00:39:47,000
Amen.
We none of us deserved it.

627
00:39:47,600 --> 00:39:51,720
And Jesus, it just revealed as
mercy and his grace and his love

628
00:39:51,720 --> 00:39:54,320
for humanity.
And so I'm waiting for the post

629
00:39:54,320 --> 00:39:58,880
that says, Lord, forgive us,
Lord forgive them, Amen.

630
00:39:58,880 --> 00:40:02,040
I'm waiting for that post.
I'm moving to the post that

631
00:40:02,040 --> 00:40:06,080
brings us back-to-back to union
under Christ, not not under like

632
00:40:06,080 --> 00:40:09,040
this is my agenda and now I'm
going to stick to my agenda.

633
00:40:09,480 --> 00:40:11,280
And these aren't just nice words
that are like putting stained

634
00:40:11,280 --> 00:40:12,560
glass like you make, oh, that's
nice.

635
00:40:13,040 --> 00:40:15,080
Jesus did that.
Like that's a high standard.

636
00:40:15,480 --> 00:40:19,760
The first martyr in the Bible
actually quoted this, the

637
00:40:19,760 --> 00:40:23,160
stoning of Steven, Acts 759.
It says while they were stoning

638
00:40:23,160 --> 00:40:27,520
him, somebody say wow, wow, they
were stoning him.

639
00:40:28,800 --> 00:40:32,520
Have you ever read this and
thought about while he was being

640
00:40:32,520 --> 00:40:35,400
stoned?
Like think about that.

641
00:40:36,040 --> 00:40:40,320
Like you're legit.
People are throwing stones and

642
00:40:40,320 --> 00:40:45,600
your body is being broken, your
bones are snapping, there's

643
00:40:45,600 --> 00:40:48,960
blood.
Your life is Emily over.

644
00:40:49,240 --> 00:40:51,360
Like the next move is your last
move.

645
00:40:51,640 --> 00:40:55,440
And while this is happening in
like the depravity of humanity

646
00:40:55,720 --> 00:41:00,280
and the misunderstanding of God
as a righteous man, Stephen was

647
00:41:00,400 --> 00:41:02,880
he's praise.
He says, Lord, Jesus received my

648
00:41:02,880 --> 00:41:05,400
spirit.
He fell to his knees and his

649
00:41:05,400 --> 00:41:10,320
crying last breath cried out,
Lord, do not hold this sin

650
00:41:11,600 --> 00:41:15,560
against them.
And when he said that he fell

651
00:41:15,560 --> 00:41:19,400
asleep, he died.
That's a whole nother level.

652
00:41:19,400 --> 00:41:22,160
Amen.
There's a whole nother level

653
00:41:22,960 --> 00:41:25,160
like that, that that was the New
Testament standard of

654
00:41:25,160 --> 00:41:27,440
forgiveness.
It wasn't like, oh, Jesus, stay

655
00:41:27,440 --> 00:41:29,320
on the cross and that's good for
him.

656
00:41:29,320 --> 00:41:32,840
But now, man, this is my time.
I do I want it was Lord forgive

657
00:41:32,840 --> 00:41:35,880
them to know what they do.
Do not hold the sin against them

658
00:41:36,760 --> 00:41:39,000
and die.
Like, wow.

659
00:41:40,240 --> 00:41:41,480
It goes back to how do we treat
people?

660
00:41:41,480 --> 00:41:44,320
Amen.
How do we love somebody who

661
00:41:44,320 --> 00:41:47,480
believes different than us and
maybe even hates us?

662
00:41:48,960 --> 00:41:50,520
Like how do we love somebody
like that?

663
00:41:51,480 --> 00:41:53,440
This person, Steven, loved him
to death.

664
00:41:54,360 --> 00:41:57,080
Jesus loved them to death.
That was his first response to

665
00:41:57,080 --> 00:42:00,080
injustice was forgiveness.
So pray and fast for

666
00:42:00,080 --> 00:42:00,920
forgiveness.
Amen.

667
00:42:02,240 --> 00:42:04,640
Amen.
That'd be countercultural.

668
00:42:05,680 --> 00:42:07,440
That'd be countercultural.
I love you.

669
00:42:07,440 --> 00:42:09,000
I've been praying for you.
I forgive you.

670
00:42:09,040 --> 00:42:12,800
I don't agree with you.
I think it's dumb, but I love

671
00:42:12,800 --> 00:42:13,360
you.
Amen.

672
00:42:14,120 --> 00:42:18,080
I've been praying for unity.
I'm not harboring aggression or

673
00:42:18,080 --> 00:42:20,520
hates right now.
There's a lot of that, right?

674
00:42:21,280 --> 00:42:24,040
I mean, I feel like you could
put some red and blue shirts on.

675
00:42:24,040 --> 00:42:29,280
You might have yourself a war,
praying fast for not just

676
00:42:29,280 --> 00:42:32,080
forgiveness, but for unity.
Pray for unity.

677
00:42:33,000 --> 00:42:35,000
You know, the question has been
asked, what do you, what do you

678
00:42:35,000 --> 00:42:37,000
think of Charlie Kirk?
You know what, what do you stand

679
00:42:37,000 --> 00:42:38,680
for?
And obviously he, he preached

680
00:42:38,680 --> 00:42:42,320
Jesus, he loved Jesus.
He said things that were counter

681
00:42:42,320 --> 00:42:44,760
cultural about Jesus, like not
about Jesus, but to the culture

682
00:42:44,760 --> 00:42:47,120
about Jesus.
That dude knew some Bible, Amen.

683
00:42:47,760 --> 00:42:50,680
I'm not saying he knew the Bible
all the way through that.

684
00:42:50,680 --> 00:42:52,920
I do do some Bible.
And he stepped into the fray.

685
00:42:52,920 --> 00:42:55,560
He stepped into the places that
most people are going to step

686
00:42:55,560 --> 00:42:57,400
into.
And whether you agree with this

687
00:42:57,400 --> 00:43:00,800
politic or you agree with all
the different pieces, does it

688
00:43:00,800 --> 00:43:02,760
really matter?
Because the New Testament, when

689
00:43:02,760 --> 00:43:04,600
Paul said, hey, something
preached name of Jesus, Thank

690
00:43:04,600 --> 00:43:07,520
God if something mentioned name
of Jesus, it'll matter if

691
00:43:07,520 --> 00:43:10,040
they're using it wrong.
Paul said, thank you, Jesus.

692
00:43:10,040 --> 00:43:12,920
He said name of Jesus, Amen.
And so I see somebody that's

693
00:43:12,920 --> 00:43:16,440
standing up for truth that
that's speaking what's in his

694
00:43:16,440 --> 00:43:18,040
heart, his mind, and anybody can
do that.

695
00:43:18,040 --> 00:43:19,280
You have the freedom to do that
in this country.

696
00:43:19,280 --> 00:43:21,000
Amen.
We all have the freedom to

697
00:43:21,000 --> 00:43:23,120
speak.
We want to speak, but but to but

698
00:43:23,120 --> 00:43:25,280
to think what what should be
unified around?

699
00:43:25,560 --> 00:43:27,520
Like did it matter his political
position?

700
00:43:28,040 --> 00:43:30,800
Like does it matter if you want
to martyr him or not?

701
00:43:31,840 --> 00:43:33,960
Does it really matter?
Like there's a give you a war on

702
00:43:33,960 --> 00:43:37,040
that doesn't matter that he was
pro Trump and and and pushed

703
00:43:37,040 --> 00:43:39,280
through the agenda and stood for
these kind of politics.

704
00:43:39,280 --> 00:43:42,200
Does it matter?
Like listen to this.

705
00:43:42,240 --> 00:43:45,120
Unity is greater than
uniformity.

706
00:43:46,320 --> 00:43:48,960
Unity is greater than
uniformity.

707
00:43:49,680 --> 00:43:52,360
Like, where did we get the place
in our country and as Christians

708
00:43:52,640 --> 00:43:55,920
that we can't disagree on lesser
issues?

709
00:43:57,400 --> 00:43:58,760
Where, where, where do we get
that point?

710
00:43:58,920 --> 00:44:01,720
But we have to hate somebody
because they think different

711
00:44:01,720 --> 00:44:04,600
than us.
Like, that's not an entire right

712
00:44:04,600 --> 00:44:06,200
of this country.
They all think the same way,

713
00:44:06,200 --> 00:44:08,880
man.
But where do you as Christians,

714
00:44:08,880 --> 00:44:13,160
like, is our faith so small,
maybe so shallow that every must

715
00:44:13,160 --> 00:44:15,760
agree with us so we have
personal validation?

716
00:44:16,440 --> 00:44:18,720
Do we really need people to
agree across the aisles?

717
00:44:19,720 --> 00:44:22,760
No, no, we don't.
Or our feelings so important

718
00:44:22,760 --> 00:44:24,160
that no one can disagree with
them.

719
00:44:24,560 --> 00:44:27,160
If you don't disagree with me,
we're no longer want you're

720
00:44:27,160 --> 00:44:30,960
canceled, right.
I mean, I just I don't get it.

721
00:44:30,960 --> 00:44:32,960
Like I've talked to some people
this week.

722
00:44:33,960 --> 00:44:37,240
I unfollowed my first person,
right?

723
00:44:37,920 --> 00:44:42,280
Never unfollowed.
Somebody had asked my spouse had

724
00:44:42,280 --> 00:44:45,520
that conversation.
I gotta get with this ideology.

725
00:44:45,520 --> 00:44:47,960
I can't be these people.
Can I just tell you those are

726
00:44:47,960 --> 00:44:49,240
the people who are trying to
reach.

727
00:44:50,960 --> 00:44:54,040
Amen.
And so if why would you cancel

728
00:44:54,040 --> 00:44:57,240
the mission?
Because that's what's happening.

729
00:44:57,680 --> 00:44:59,920
Look, we don't agree on
nationalistic level.

730
00:45:00,080 --> 00:45:03,360
And so I'm no longer pro you.
I'm cancelling.

731
00:45:03,360 --> 00:45:05,640
I don't hear anymore.
And as a pastor, I have a

732
00:45:05,640 --> 00:45:07,400
problem with that.
I've been told by people, you

733
00:45:07,400 --> 00:45:09,920
better cancel me because I'm
gonna light you up.

734
00:45:10,520 --> 00:45:13,520
And I'm like, hey, listen, dude,
I don't run for my problems.

735
00:45:15,160 --> 00:45:18,400
I'm a big boy like you don't
keep your friends close your

736
00:45:18,400 --> 00:45:22,360
image closer.
Come on, somebody right, like I

737
00:45:22,360 --> 00:45:23,920
got to know what the other
side's thinking a little bit.

738
00:45:23,920 --> 00:45:26,280
You know, like I'm not I'm not a
small minded.

739
00:45:26,760 --> 00:45:29,040
Like I'm not going to push you
away as much as you maybe hate

740
00:45:29,040 --> 00:45:31,080
what I say, I'm not going to
hate you back.

741
00:45:31,880 --> 00:45:34,720
Amen.
And there's just this propaganda

742
00:45:34,720 --> 00:45:40,200
like get rid of these people,
hate these people, the ideology

743
00:45:40,200 --> 00:45:42,320
to you'd even get to the point
of wanting to kill these people.

744
00:45:42,320 --> 00:45:44,720
Like this is the problem.
The problem.

745
00:45:44,720 --> 00:45:51,160
The Bible is the world, the
flesh and the sin that that's

746
00:45:51,200 --> 00:45:53,640
that's that's the enemy.
Say themself, Amen.

747
00:45:54,440 --> 00:45:57,880
And then we demonize people that
look different than us and think

748
00:45:57,880 --> 00:45:59,280
different than us.
And I'm not saying they're right

749
00:45:59,280 --> 00:46:02,640
on the positions, Amen, But I'm
saying is we love them in

750
00:46:02,640 --> 00:46:05,440
Christ.
Jesus didn't ask us to be

751
00:46:05,440 --> 00:46:06,800
uniformed.
He asked for unity about

752
00:46:06,800 --> 00:46:08,400
uniformity.
There's no one to bobble.

753
00:46:08,400 --> 00:46:11,600
You see Jesus have a political
post, a political comment, his

754
00:46:11,600 --> 00:46:14,960
little comment like this pay
what Caesar Caesar's do.

755
00:46:15,520 --> 00:46:17,120
That means be subject to the
government you live in.

756
00:46:17,880 --> 00:46:20,800
That's what he says that in
Romans that we be subject to the

757
00:46:20,800 --> 00:46:22,880
leaders that puts in place
because who put the leader in

758
00:46:22,880 --> 00:46:24,880
place?
God did.

759
00:46:26,000 --> 00:46:27,360
If you want a different to be
different.

760
00:46:27,880 --> 00:46:32,600
And so we're subject and in
humility we obey, we follow, but

761
00:46:32,600 --> 00:46:37,640
we follow Christ, Amen.
That was, there was no other

762
00:46:37,640 --> 00:46:40,400
spot where he said, OK, well, it
doesn't look this way then take

763
00:46:40,400 --> 00:46:42,160
up arms.
Jesus wasn't a political

764
00:46:42,160 --> 00:46:45,400
revolutionary, Amen.
He didn't come in and rescue any

765
00:46:45,400 --> 00:46:47,280
of that stuff.
He didn't have any political

766
00:46:47,440 --> 00:46:50,800
agenda because he wasn't from
this politic use from earth or

767
00:46:50,800 --> 00:46:52,760
from heaven.
I mean, he had a different

768
00:46:52,760 --> 00:46:55,080
economy.
He had a different politic

769
00:46:55,080 --> 00:46:57,080
completely.
Jesus was political because he

770
00:46:57,080 --> 00:47:00,000
had a Kingdom.
But now what he on earth, Amen.

771
00:47:00,800 --> 00:47:04,400
You know, Jesus nowhere asked us
to vote the same that you're

772
00:47:04,400 --> 00:47:06,000
entitled, right?
As an American, you should use

773
00:47:06,000 --> 00:47:11,680
it every time.
Midterm elections, no aim ends

774
00:47:11,680 --> 00:47:14,320
on that one.
All three of you that went to

775
00:47:14,320 --> 00:47:18,160
the polls, right?
You get all matters right.

776
00:47:18,960 --> 00:47:20,440
Like be passionate about the
politics.

777
00:47:20,440 --> 00:47:22,680
But we don't die on the hill of
the Capitol Hill.

778
00:47:22,880 --> 00:47:26,160
We die on the hill of Calvary.
It's a different level.

779
00:47:26,440 --> 00:47:30,200
Jesus didn't ask us.
We uniformed around of votes and

780
00:47:30,520 --> 00:47:34,800
ideologies and political parties
and persons and policies.

781
00:47:34,880 --> 00:47:38,640
He asked to be unified around
Christ, something greater.

782
00:47:38,640 --> 00:47:40,560
Amen.
And John 17.

783
00:47:40,560 --> 00:47:44,280
This we prayed for.
This is as he's anticipating his

784
00:47:44,280 --> 00:47:47,040
death.
It's my prayer is that not for

785
00:47:47,040 --> 00:47:50,000
them alone somebody's disciples
who wasn't know him in that

786
00:47:50,120 --> 00:47:54,120
time, but they also for those
who will believe that's us in

787
00:47:54,120 --> 00:47:56,040
the future.
So Jesus praying for us.

788
00:47:56,440 --> 00:47:58,000
They'll believe in me through
their message.

789
00:47:58,000 --> 00:48:03,400
Verse 21 it says that all of
them may be what maybe one they

790
00:48:03,400 --> 00:48:07,080
were unified together in Christ
like OK, you may have different

791
00:48:07,080 --> 00:48:08,520
opinions.
Hey, you have the right to be

792
00:48:08,520 --> 00:48:11,200
wrong.
Amen.

793
00:48:12,080 --> 00:48:14,680
You can, but we have different
opinions, but we're unified

794
00:48:14,680 --> 00:48:18,040
under Christ.
There's something greater than

795
00:48:18,040 --> 00:48:20,400
what we see in front of us.
Even this land.

796
00:48:21,160 --> 00:48:24,440
It says Father, just as we are,
you are in me and I'm in you.

797
00:48:24,440 --> 00:48:27,760
That's a deep relationship.
May this also be in us so that

798
00:48:27,760 --> 00:48:30,840
the world is the purpose may
believe that you have sent me.

799
00:48:31,480 --> 00:48:33,160
They'll be so unified around
Christ.

800
00:48:33,280 --> 00:48:36,240
We love each other.
Even those are differences that

801
00:48:36,240 --> 00:48:39,120
they would see Christ in US.
Well, I can't believe you.

802
00:48:39,320 --> 00:48:43,000
You let that person, your
church, I can't believe you care

803
00:48:43,000 --> 00:48:44,360
about that person.
I can believe you're gave that

804
00:48:44,360 --> 00:48:45,160
person.
I can't believe you.

805
00:48:45,280 --> 00:48:48,000
You, you united together.
Why do something greater?

806
00:48:48,600 --> 00:48:51,760
There's a greater purpose.
I've given them the glory that

807
00:48:51,760 --> 00:48:55,440
they gave me, that they may be
one as what's it say?

808
00:48:56,840 --> 00:48:59,800
We are one.
So, so, so we're united under

809
00:48:59,800 --> 00:49:03,200
Christ at the same level that
Jesus is united to this Father.

810
00:49:04,080 --> 00:49:07,720
That's a high calling, Amen.
There's so much division.

811
00:49:07,720 --> 00:49:13,200
There's aisles, political aisles
in the church that there's

812
00:49:13,200 --> 00:49:16,520
unspoken aisles of race in
churches.

813
00:49:17,240 --> 00:49:21,360
There's each social economic
aisles in churches, but we need

814
00:49:21,360 --> 00:49:25,800
tear down the aisles because
we're all under Christ, Amen.

815
00:49:26,280 --> 00:49:28,200
This is this is where he asked
us to go.

816
00:49:28,440 --> 00:49:29,760
We're united.
Just the thing about the

817
00:49:29,760 --> 00:49:31,560
relationship about intimate the
Father and Son, where that's

818
00:49:31,640 --> 00:49:33,640
intimate we should be with each
other.

819
00:49:34,320 --> 00:49:37,680
I've given the glory that they
gave me that they may be one as

820
00:49:37,680 --> 00:49:41,920
we are one in them and you and
me, so that they may be brought

821
00:49:41,920 --> 00:49:44,920
to complete unity.
Only through submission in

822
00:49:44,920 --> 00:49:48,960
Christ do we actually mature.
If we if we stop following

823
00:49:48,960 --> 00:49:51,280
Christ because we're following
things, the world, our spiritual

824
00:49:51,280 --> 00:49:55,280
growth dies.
Verse 23 and I and them and you

825
00:49:55,280 --> 00:49:58,520
and me said they may be brought
into complete unity that the

826
00:49:58,520 --> 00:50:04,160
world may know that you sent me
and have loved them even as you

827
00:50:04,160 --> 00:50:12,320
have loved me.
This came all in baby.

828
00:50:13,640 --> 00:50:17,080
But there's unity in Christ,
like the gospel advances through

829
00:50:17,080 --> 00:50:22,680
unity, advances through unity.
Like if we're not unified under

830
00:50:22,680 --> 00:50:26,240
Christ, if we'd have forgiveness
under Christ, prayer under

831
00:50:26,240 --> 00:50:29,920
Christ, love under Christ.
If we can't love somebody who's

832
00:50:29,920 --> 00:50:33,120
different than us and welcome
them in, like, do you know

833
00:50:33,160 --> 00:50:34,080
Jesus?
Yeah.

834
00:50:34,280 --> 00:50:36,160
Well, I, I'd vote this way.
I think this way.

835
00:50:36,160 --> 00:50:39,240
OK.
Like, I disagree personally, but

836
00:50:39,240 --> 00:50:41,600
I love you.
Amen.

837
00:50:41,600 --> 00:50:47,120
Can we get past that?
Like they're human people who

838
00:50:47,120 --> 00:50:49,400
need Jesus.
The mission wasn't to have

839
00:50:50,600 --> 00:50:54,240
country, those full of people
that I thought just looked like

840
00:50:54,240 --> 00:50:59,440
Jesus, like just play this out
is the resolve in this time.

841
00:51:00,080 --> 00:51:02,680
So you know what more lost
people come to Christ.

842
00:51:02,720 --> 00:51:06,000
If we were all thought that we a
way of a Democrat or Republican,

843
00:51:07,720 --> 00:51:15,640
would the mission really move?
It's crazy like the mission

844
00:51:15,640 --> 00:51:16,600
hasn't changed.
Amen.

845
00:51:18,040 --> 00:51:20,320
But it's like, hey, if this
happened, it's it's like our our

846
00:51:20,320 --> 00:51:23,760
comfort's being stripped a way.
Life is being challenged.

847
00:51:23,760 --> 00:51:26,280
But the end of the day, the
mission is the mission.

848
00:51:26,280 --> 00:51:28,480
Amen.
And very much so.

849
00:51:28,480 --> 00:51:30,560
I think there's so much hate
across the table that the church

850
00:51:30,560 --> 00:51:35,640
itself is going to lose.
It's losing ground, it's losing

851
00:51:35,640 --> 00:51:39,480
saltiness, it's losing power.
There's whole denominations that

852
00:51:39,480 --> 00:51:40,880
have unified other things in the
world.

853
00:51:41,800 --> 00:51:45,160
It wasn't necessarily they were
unifying around a ticket or a

854
00:51:45,160 --> 00:51:48,160
party, but they, they, they,
they unified around lesser

855
00:51:48,160 --> 00:51:52,000
things like like, let's all get
along, you know, whether it's

856
00:51:52,000 --> 00:51:54,080
sexuality or all these different
things.

857
00:51:54,080 --> 00:51:57,720
And they unified fastest dying
denomination in the United

858
00:51:57,720 --> 00:52:01,280
States, the samples of Christ.
Do you unify around the mission?

859
00:52:02,040 --> 00:52:06,480
Do you unify around the gospel,
you know, unified around

860
00:52:06,480 --> 00:52:11,560
idealism and ideology of the
world like we unify around

861
00:52:11,560 --> 00:52:13,120
Christ.
That's what the power is, Amen.

862
00:52:13,880 --> 00:52:18,600
The power is in the gospel.
Not not enough being uniformly

863
00:52:18,600 --> 00:52:22,040
put together like it's in the
gospel, the union, Christ, the

864
00:52:22,040 --> 00:52:24,640
power of salvation.
And so I think about the church

865
00:52:24,640 --> 00:52:26,800
like it's got to get past
politics.

866
00:52:26,800 --> 00:52:28,400
Not to say you don't vote.
It's not that you don't passion.

867
00:52:28,400 --> 00:52:30,440
It's not to say you get fired up
every now and then.

868
00:52:30,440 --> 00:52:33,240
It's not to say you don't, you
don't campaign and think this

869
00:52:33,240 --> 00:52:37,720
way, but to hate somebody, but
to post what we posted or what

870
00:52:37,720 --> 00:52:41,920
they posted, but to live in that
world, We've lost our salt in

871
00:52:41,920 --> 00:52:43,800
this.
So division.

872
00:52:43,800 --> 00:52:47,280
The church undermines the gospel
and what the world needs now,

873
00:52:47,280 --> 00:52:52,600
which I kind of want to sing a
song, Come on, somebody.

874
00:52:54,160 --> 00:52:56,000
I knew somebody would do it.
I wish I could sing right now.

875
00:52:56,000 --> 00:53:01,120
It'd be so good.
But the world needs now is a

876
00:53:01,160 --> 00:53:04,840
unified church.
It needs Christians to unify

877
00:53:05,040 --> 00:53:10,760
around forgiveness, around
prayer, around outreach, around

878
00:53:10,760 --> 00:53:13,360
love.
They're just doing the things we

879
00:53:13,360 --> 00:53:17,840
should do without throwing
stones, without losing our

880
00:53:17,840 --> 00:53:21,560
ability to witness.
I mean, this is so easy to to to

881
00:53:21,560 --> 00:53:25,480
hate or to word vomit or to stay
blatant and put your mind out on

882
00:53:25,480 --> 00:53:27,680
social media and really not help
anybody.

883
00:53:28,120 --> 00:53:29,480
Just make it clear where you
stand.

884
00:53:29,600 --> 00:53:33,480
Hey, if you don't like my post,
unfollow me.

885
00:53:35,040 --> 00:53:36,240
That's not the mission of
Christ.

886
00:53:37,520 --> 00:53:39,720
There would not be a church if I
said everything I thought.

887
00:53:44,920 --> 00:53:48,000
I'm just telling you, man.
Like, no, I don't agree with

888
00:53:48,000 --> 00:53:51,360
myself sometimes, you know, and
we get fired up.

889
00:53:51,360 --> 00:53:53,160
Then we we learn, oh, that was
so stupid.

890
00:53:53,160 --> 00:53:57,040
Like I've been played that that
war was started and bought by

891
00:53:57,040 --> 00:53:59,640
the same system.
Like there's way more things

892
00:53:59,640 --> 00:54:02,160
that are happening.
So we didn't let politics or

893
00:54:02,160 --> 00:54:04,840
personalities divide us.
We rallied under a name.

894
00:54:04,840 --> 00:54:07,200
His name is Jesus.
I'll leave with this verse.

895
00:54:07,200 --> 00:54:08,880
You're like, what?
What's next for our country?

896
00:54:08,880 --> 00:54:11,960
Where do we go from here?
There is a prescription, there

897
00:54:11,960 --> 00:54:13,760
is a verse.
There is a truth in the Bible

898
00:54:14,000 --> 00:54:16,000
that tells us what to do next.
And it's found in Second

899
00:54:16,000 --> 00:54:19,760
Chronicles 714.
It's a famous passage.

900
00:54:20,400 --> 00:54:26,840
So if my people, God fears who
called by my name, well, what's

901
00:54:26,840 --> 00:54:31,000
it say?
Well, they humble themselves and

902
00:54:31,000 --> 00:54:35,680
pray and seek my face and turn
from their wicked ways.

903
00:54:36,200 --> 00:54:38,520
Then you will hear from heaven.
I'll forgive their sin.

904
00:54:38,800 --> 00:54:43,000
And will what heal their land?
You.

905
00:54:43,000 --> 00:54:45,160
Sometimes you feel helpless,
like there's nothing I can do

906
00:54:45,160 --> 00:54:46,760
and this is just country.
Oh, it's crazy.

907
00:54:46,760 --> 00:54:48,440
You can humble yourself and
pray.

908
00:54:49,760 --> 00:54:52,480
Amen.
That the power of God is

909
00:54:52,480 --> 00:54:54,720
released when people hit on
their knees.

910
00:54:55,640 --> 00:54:57,120
The power of God's released in
humility.

911
00:54:57,640 --> 00:55:00,560
The power of God's released in
great faith so you can do

912
00:55:00,560 --> 00:55:02,640
something.
It doesn't matter if you can't

913
00:55:02,640 --> 00:55:06,080
leave home or you're not on the
political spotlight, you make a

914
00:55:06,080 --> 00:55:08,960
difference, Amen?
And we could unify as a country,

915
00:55:09,280 --> 00:55:13,000
as people of prayer, as
Christians and get our needs

916
00:55:13,000 --> 00:55:15,920
that God forgive us for these
last four days.

917
00:55:16,360 --> 00:55:21,600
Forgive the shooter, forgive the
ideology wars and help us.

918
00:55:22,200 --> 00:55:26,280
We need you.
We don't need a party, we need

919
00:55:26,680 --> 00:55:28,720
Jesus.
Amen.

920
00:55:29,560 --> 00:55:32,560
Now let's say I'm giving up on a
vote, but we need you.

921
00:55:32,560 --> 00:55:35,960
Lord, you heal our land.
You forgive us, and God forgive

922
00:55:35,960 --> 00:55:41,280
me or I've sinned because
there's things in my heart, man,

923
00:55:41,280 --> 00:55:44,320
if you knew, look nothing like
Jesus.

924
00:55:45,200 --> 00:55:48,040
And so God forgive.
This is where it starts, Amen.

925
00:55:49,080 --> 00:55:53,280
Revival starts on your knees,
starts in place of prayer.

926
00:55:53,360 --> 00:55:57,040
If you've not prayed yet, if
you're not forgiven yet, you've

927
00:55:57,040 --> 00:56:00,280
not humbled yourself yet, you've
not stayed at bed and meditated

928
00:56:00,280 --> 00:56:02,400
on the things of God and been
silent, heard from the Holy

929
00:56:02,400 --> 00:56:07,760
Spirit, Today's the day.
Today, right now is the day that

930
00:56:07,760 --> 00:56:10,840
we get right with God because
this is his nation and He can do

931
00:56:10,840 --> 00:56:13,600
what He wants to.
And I don't like everything I

932
00:56:13,600 --> 00:56:18,440
see, but we need Jesus, Amen.
And so, Father, we come before

933
00:56:18,440 --> 00:56:23,920
you, got to ask that we humble
ourselves, got to heal our

934
00:56:23,920 --> 00:56:28,760
nation, got to pray in a room.
God birth.

935
00:56:28,920 --> 00:56:33,360
There's division, a country full
of hate, whether we're divided

936
00:56:33,360 --> 00:56:36,240
by political lines, the
ideologies and wars and words.

937
00:56:36,240 --> 00:56:40,920
And it's being exacerbated God,
that you would do your best work

938
00:56:40,920 --> 00:56:46,640
right now and you would use us
as Jesus followers to model

939
00:56:46,640 --> 00:56:49,880
what's like to live in
persecution, to live in

940
00:56:49,880 --> 00:56:52,720
division, to be hated or
divided.

941
00:56:52,840 --> 00:56:55,200
And they use the voice of unity
even to those we thought

942
00:56:55,200 --> 00:56:56,880
wouldn't say things that he said
this week.

943
00:56:58,040 --> 00:57:01,840
God forgive us what we posted
for some of us forgive some hate

944
00:57:01,840 --> 00:57:04,360
in our heart.
God, let's be angry and sin not.

945
00:57:06,560 --> 00:57:08,360
Maybe you're Jesus followed
today and it's just being real

946
00:57:08,360 --> 00:57:12,560
for you that God may be speaking
to you that today's day you

947
00:57:12,560 --> 00:57:15,600
humble yourself, say, Lord, I've
I've thought everything but you

948
00:57:15,640 --> 00:57:18,280
on this one, but today I'm going
to humble myself.

949
00:57:18,280 --> 00:57:20,120
God, heal our land.
That's your cry of your heart

950
00:57:20,120 --> 00:57:21,720
today.
We just put your hands out in

951
00:57:21,720 --> 00:57:23,560
front of you and say, God all
received from you today.

952
00:57:23,560 --> 00:57:26,400
God, don't hear from you today.
God, show me your way.

953
00:57:26,400 --> 00:57:28,320
I've been fired up, got my
emotions been high.

954
00:57:28,320 --> 00:57:31,080
God, teach me to sleep in peace
because you reign on the throne.

955
00:57:31,400 --> 00:57:33,560
God teach me my economy is
different than your economy,

956
00:57:33,720 --> 00:57:37,000
that your kingdoms are from my
Kingdom, that my politics,

957
00:57:37,160 --> 00:57:38,960
although I'm passionate about
it, are not as great as the

958
00:57:38,960 --> 00:57:42,520
politics of heaven.
It is a greater thing that

959
00:57:42,520 --> 00:57:45,400
you're up to then.
It's the redemption of mankind.

960
00:57:45,920 --> 00:57:51,000
Help me not lose my saltiness
because I doubled the wrong hill

961
00:57:51,000 --> 00:57:55,240
this week can help me to love
people that look unlovable, that

962
00:57:55,240 --> 00:57:58,160
maybe don't even like my
opinions because you're up to

963
00:57:58,160 --> 00:58:04,480
something greater.
God, heal our land today and

964
00:58:04,480 --> 00:58:09,320
hold myself today.
Your spirits speak to me again.

965
00:58:11,560 --> 00:58:15,040
I'll need other voices.
I don't need other opinions.

966
00:58:16,000 --> 00:58:18,400
Can I stand on your scripture
and your truth?

967
00:58:20,880 --> 00:58:22,880
I'll pray for somebody in this
house today may recognize this

968
00:58:22,880 --> 00:58:24,400
gospel may be different than
you've ever heard.

969
00:58:25,600 --> 00:58:27,920
There's a there's a God of the
universe that went to the cross

970
00:58:27,920 --> 00:58:29,800
and said forgive them for they
know not what they do.

971
00:58:30,320 --> 00:58:32,480
And maybe say you recognize
you're that ignorant person,

972
00:58:32,520 --> 00:58:34,520
right?
You're the person you thought

973
00:58:34,520 --> 00:58:39,160
you had it figured out.
You had lesser gods, and today

974
00:58:39,200 --> 00:58:41,160
you recognize that there's a God
in the universe that loves you

975
00:58:41,200 --> 00:58:45,120
in spite of your wrongdoing.
And as we were our worst, God's

976
00:58:45,120 --> 00:58:47,480
best.
And this grace of God is drawn

977
00:58:47,480 --> 00:58:48,840
you to himself through his Holy
Spirit.

978
00:58:48,840 --> 00:58:51,200
And you recognize today that you
are a Sinner and your Savior,

979
00:58:52,040 --> 00:58:53,880
that this week shows some things
in your life that you're not

980
00:58:53,880 --> 00:58:55,280
proud of.
It's the things in your life

981
00:58:55,280 --> 00:58:57,040
that you need to get forgiveness
for.

982
00:58:57,440 --> 00:58:58,880
And today you recognize that
maybe you need Jesus.

983
00:58:58,880 --> 00:59:01,160
Today the Bible says you call on
Jesus.

984
00:59:01,160 --> 00:59:05,800
Doesn't matter what your stance
is on politics or your past or

985
00:59:05,800 --> 00:59:09,120
what you did last night.
It matters you believe that

986
00:59:09,160 --> 00:59:11,200
Jesus died on a cross for your
sins and rose again.

987
00:59:11,640 --> 00:59:14,600
And today if you're ready to
humble yourself and say, God

988
00:59:14,600 --> 00:59:16,800
forgive me.
He will not just heal a nation,

989
00:59:16,800 --> 00:59:19,880
He will heal you.
And so if you need Christ today,

990
00:59:19,880 --> 00:59:22,400
let me be looking around.
I'm not going to make it.

991
00:59:22,400 --> 00:59:24,160
We're beauty Christ, if you put
your hand on his place, I need

992
00:59:24,160 --> 00:59:26,280
Jesus.
But the power of gospel came

993
00:59:26,280 --> 00:59:27,400
through this message in my life
today.

994
00:59:27,400 --> 00:59:30,800
I need relation to Christ today.
That's you.

995
00:59:30,800 --> 00:59:32,640
You just pray in his prayer and
say, Father God, thanks so much

996
00:59:32,640 --> 00:59:34,600
for loving me.
God, in the midst of all this

997
00:59:34,600 --> 00:59:35,800
chaos.
God, you see me.

998
00:59:36,320 --> 00:59:40,000
He died for me on that cross.
You can pray for on that cross

999
00:59:40,800 --> 00:59:42,480
that I would be forgiven, that
you wouldn't hold this sin

1000
00:59:42,480 --> 00:59:44,640
against me, God.
And so I cry out to you, God, I

1001
00:59:44,640 --> 00:59:46,760
need you.
I'll never leave the food of

1002
00:59:46,760 --> 00:59:51,040
this cross.
I'm saved, God, because of your

1003
00:59:51,040 --> 00:59:53,080
work.
So thank you for your grace,

1004
00:59:53,080 --> 00:59:54,840
God.
Thank you for your mercy, God,

1005
00:59:54,840 --> 00:59:57,640
part of your mission.
God, thank you for healing me

1006
00:59:57,640 --> 00:59:59,600
today.
And I pray that in Jesus name

1007
00:59:59,600 --> 01:00:02,640
and the church said Amen.
Give it up for Jesus.

1008
01:00:02,640 --> 01:00:03,880
Give some glory to God today.
Amen.

1009
01:00:07,320 --> 01:00:12,000
And what a just a powerful and
timely word that that unity, our

1010
01:00:12,000 --> 01:00:16,120
unity is living proof of a
living God.

1011
01:00:16,760 --> 01:00:21,040
And he's here and he's moving
and he's writing new stories

1012
01:00:21,080 --> 01:00:23,400
every day.
And some of you are writing that

1013
01:00:23,400 --> 01:00:25,280
new story, that new chapter
today.

1014
01:00:25,280 --> 01:00:27,880
And you accepted that prayer or
that you accepted Jesus and

1015
01:00:27,880 --> 01:00:30,800
prayed that prayer.
We are so excited for you as you

1016
01:00:30,800 --> 01:00:33,120
take this first step with Jesus
this week.

1017
01:00:33,120 --> 01:00:35,880
We would love to help you.
We would love to resource you as

1018
01:00:35,880 --> 01:00:37,960
you start this journey.
You can grab that connection

1019
01:00:37,960 --> 01:00:40,440
card that's on your seat, fill
out your information and make

1020
01:00:40,440 --> 01:00:42,960
sure and check that box though
that says I committed my life to

1021
01:00:42,960 --> 01:00:44,560
Jesus.
And you can drop that in the

1022
01:00:44,560 --> 01:00:46,080
giving buckets here in just a
few minutes.

1023
01:00:46,080 --> 01:00:48,000
But by doing that just allows us
to walk along.

1024
01:00:48,080 --> 01:00:50,640
I do to drop you a free book in
the mail this week.

1025
01:00:50,840 --> 01:00:52,680
It's a short read.
It's called begin, but it really

1026
01:00:52,680 --> 01:00:56,080
will help you as you take this
first step with Jesus this week.

1027
01:00:56,080 --> 01:00:58,320
Also, if you're in the house and
you prayed that prayer, in the

1028
01:00:58,320 --> 01:01:00,800
back of the worship center there
is a table with some red bags.

1029
01:01:01,080 --> 01:01:05,000
Please grab one of those as well
inside the Bible just for you

1030
01:01:05,000 --> 01:01:07,560
and a list of some other
resources that we know will help

1031
01:01:07,560 --> 01:01:09,560
you this week.
And once again, we are so

1032
01:01:09,800 --> 01:01:12,840
excited for you today.
And hey, if you are newer with

1033
01:01:12,840 --> 01:01:15,240

01:01:17,360 --> 01:01:18,880

1036
01:01:19,520 --> 01:01:22,680
We love that you're here.
We love that you're spending

1037
01:01:22,680 --> 01:01:24,040
today with us.
Thank you so much for being

1038
01:01:24,040 --> 01:01:25,200
here.
We'd love to just see you back

1039
01:01:25,200 --> 01:01:27,560
here next Sunday.
Also, if you could grab that

1040
01:01:27,560 --> 01:01:30,200
same card, fill out your
information and check that box

1041
01:01:30,200 --> 01:01:32,440

You can actually take that to

1042
01:01:32,440 --> 01:01:35,400
the new here booth as you exit
the worship center, just to your

1043
01:01:35,400 --> 01:01:37,160
right, there's a booth there.
You can turn that in.

1044
01:01:37,400 --> 01:01:39,160
We have a free gift.
We would love to get to you.

1045
01:01:39,160 --> 01:01:40,440
Just our way of saying thank
you.

1046
01:01:40,720 --> 01:01:42,840
And once again, we would love to
see you next week.

1047
01:01:43,160 --> 01:01:46,520
And I just want to take a minute
and just celebrate all that God

1048
01:01:46,840 --> 01:01:49,600
has done and is doing to your
giving here.

1049
01:01:49,920 --> 01:01:52,320
So a real life church over the
past eight years, because of

1050
01:01:52,320 --> 01:01:54,960
your faithful giving, we've
spread the gospel.

1051
01:01:55,680 --> 01:01:59,360
We've seen week after week lives
being transformed and changed.

1052
01:01:59,360 --> 01:02:02,880
And we get to celebrate that big
next week with baptisms.

1053
01:02:03,280 --> 01:02:06,160
So far this year, we've had 21
people get baptized.

1054
01:02:06,160 --> 01:02:09,160
We had three more people sign up
last week.

1055
01:02:09,440 --> 01:02:12,640
And don't miss this.
Every time somebody says yes to

1056
01:02:12,680 --> 01:02:16,120
Jesus, every time somebody says
yes to going public with their

1057
01:02:16,120 --> 01:02:19,320
faith of baptism, it's a picture
of resurrection.

1058
01:02:19,720 --> 01:02:22,520
It's a picture of freedom.
It's a picture of of healing.

1059
01:02:22,840 --> 01:02:25,000
And so if that's you and you're
ready to take that step, that

1060
01:02:25,000 --> 01:02:27,360
next step and go public with
your faith, we would love to

1061
01:02:27,360 --> 01:02:29,800
celebrate you next week at
baptisms.

1062
01:02:29,800 --> 01:02:32,560
You can grab that card, fill it
out, your information there.

1063
01:02:32,560 --> 01:02:34,440
You can also just fill it out.
Even if you have questions, I'd

1064
01:02:34,440 --> 01:02:35,760
love to reach out and just
answer those.

1065
01:02:35,760 --> 01:02:38,320
But you can drop those in the
giving buckets here in just a

1066
01:02:38,320 --> 01:02:40,120
few minutes.
We'd love to celebrate with you.

1067
01:02:40,600 --> 01:02:44,640
But when you give here, you are
not just giving to a church, but

1068
01:02:44,640 --> 01:02:47,800
you are giving through a church.
You are investing in real

1069
01:02:47,800 --> 01:02:50,680
people.
You have real life change, real

1070
01:02:50,680 --> 01:02:54,080
surrender, real freedom that's
only found in Jesus.

1071
01:02:54,080 --> 01:02:56,880
And so I invite you, I encourage
you if you call real life home

1072
01:02:56,880 --> 01:02:59,080
to take part in that.
You can check out the screen.

1073
01:02:59,080 --> 01:03:01,320
You can text to give.
You can head on over to our

1074
01:03:01,320 --> 01:03:03,840
website
reallifechurchkc.com/give.

1075
01:03:03,840 --> 01:03:05,720
There's a giving box in the
back.

1076
01:03:05,960 --> 01:03:08,840
The buckets are going to pass
here in just a few minutes as

1077
01:03:08,840 --> 01:03:10,680
well.
And if you or your family find

1078
01:03:10,680 --> 01:03:14,240
yourself in immediate need this
week, food, clothing, shelter,

1079
01:03:14,640 --> 01:03:16,800
would you please reach into the
buckets as they pass here in

1080
01:03:16,800 --> 01:03:18,800
just a minute and grab out any
loose.

1081
01:03:19,400 --> 01:03:22,720
We really, truly do want to be a
blessing to you and your family.

1082
01:03:26,240 --> 01:03:29,240
Man, what a good message.
You get to the end.

1083
01:03:29,240 --> 01:03:31,840
Of the Bible you go to.
Revelation And one of the last

1084
01:03:31,840 --> 01:03:33,880
things you read about is the
tree of life and the leaves that

1085
01:03:33,880 --> 01:03:36,320
heal the nations.
And so I think the focus on

1086
01:03:36,320 --> 01:03:38,480
Jesus and what Pastor Sean said
was so important.

1087
01:03:38,480 --> 01:03:40,960
So, man, if you're thankful for
God and the healing that he

1088
01:03:40,960 --> 01:03:43,400
brings to our country and our
people and our church, can we

1089
01:03:43,400 --> 01:03:46,280
just give it up for God one more
time, man, Amen.

1090
01:03:47,760 --> 01:03:49,160
Hey.
Before we got here, just one.

1091
01:03:49,160 --> 01:03:51,400
Last reminder, man, we are
getting ready for our 8th

1092
01:03:51,400 --> 01:03:54,520
birthday party on the 21st.

01:04:01,600 --> 01:04:03,480
I've never been to one.
I've been to redneck my whole

1097
01:04:03,480 --> 01:04:06,120
life, but I've never got to do
one of these so I'm excited.

1098
01:04:06,120 --> 01:04:08,280
You're going to have s'mores
yard games, bonfires.

1099
01:04:08,520 --> 01:04:10,720
So come hang out with us.

So if you guys need prayer for
any reason, we would love to

1103
01:04:22,480 --> 01:04:24,360
pray with you.
Whether it's individuals or as

1104
01:04:24,360 --> 01:04:26,560
families, either one doesn't
matter.

1105

1107
01:04:31,640 --> 01:04:34,360
And as always, remember, whoever
finds Jesus discovers real life

1108
01:04:34,640 --> 01:04:40,000
and purpose.
