gift for you, just our way again
of saying.

77
00:17:49,300 --> 00:17:53,900
Thank you so much for being here
with us this week at Real Life

78
00:17:53,900 --> 00:17:57,500
Church.
Well guys, there's a reason that

79
00:17:57,500 --> 00:18:01,700
every week we meet here at
Kentucky Keep Trail Elementary,

80
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:06,500
and we turn it into Real Life
Church that we set this up every

81
00:18:06,500 --> 00:18:08,300
week.
It takes a little bit of time.

82
00:18:08,300 --> 00:18:10,900
It takes a lot of help.
We tear it back down and we do

83
00:18:10,900 --> 00:18:14,200
it again week after week.
And the reason is because we are

84
00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:19,500
a church on a mission and that
mission is to see people far

85
00:18:19,500 --> 00:18:24,500
from God, discover their real
life and purpose in Jesus.

86
00:18:24,500 --> 00:18:28,700
And every one of us in this room
at one point in our lives, we

87
00:18:28,900 --> 00:18:33,900
were far from God and through
through people who loved and

88
00:18:33,900 --> 00:18:35,900
cared about us and poured into
us through.

89
00:18:35,900 --> 00:18:39,100
God himself through the Holy
Spirit, through his word, we're

90
00:18:39,100 --> 00:18:42,700
here today, wherever wherever
your story is, it's because

91
00:18:42,700 --> 00:18:46,700
people living out this Mission
and I'm going to tell you, man,

92
00:18:46,900 --> 00:18:50,500
we had an awesome 2022 because
of people living out this

93
00:18:50,500 --> 00:18:54,300
mission 31.
People were baptized at Real

94
00:18:54,300 --> 00:18:55,500
Life Church.
Yeah, go ahead.

95
00:18:55,500 --> 00:18:58,700
Give It Up.
God sends some great things

96
00:18:59,100 --> 00:19:02,500
because of people living out
this Mission.

97
00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:07,400
We've seen attendance grow by 18
percent over the last year and

98
00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:13,600
we are just pumped at the moment
and we are excited to see how

99
00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:19,000
God can use us in 2023 to just
meet people where they are.

100
00:19:19,100 --> 00:19:20,300
I said it before, I'll say it
again.

101
00:19:20,300 --> 00:19:24,400
You cannot outrun the love that
God has for you.

102
00:19:24,700 --> 00:19:28,500
I don't know what season of life
you're in I don't care how messy

103
00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:31,500
things have been.
God is ready to meet you here

104
00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:35,000
today.
Exactly where you are.

105
00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:38,100
And it's people who are living
out that mission that just want

106
00:19:38,100 --> 00:19:41,000
to pour into you today.
So if you don't feel like you

107
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:44,500
have a church home, if you don't
feel like you've put down Roots

108
00:19:44,500 --> 00:19:47,700
anywhere, I just want to welcome
you to do that at real life

109
00:19:47,700 --> 00:19:49,900
church, and you're going to hear
some practical steps later in

110
00:19:49,900 --> 00:19:53,200
the Gathering, how you can join
us on Misha, but one way that we

111
00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:56,500
all can do right now is be
thinking about and praying about

112
00:19:56,500 --> 00:19:59,300
the people in your life that are
close to you.

113
00:19:59,900 --> 00:20:03,400
But are far from God, pray for
them and invite them.

114
00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:06,300
God's got some exciting things
happening here at real life.

115
00:20:06,300 --> 00:20:08,400
In 2023.
We just want to reach out to

116
00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:14,000
them just like we want to reach
out to you wherever you will

117
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:19,200
guys 2023, it's January who out
here made some resolutions.

118
00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:22,700
Anybody make any resolutions?
Maybe a better question.

119
00:20:22,700 --> 00:20:24,700
Are you still keeping those
resolutions?

120
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:27,100
Have you fallen off the wagon.
It's okay.

121
00:20:27,100 --> 00:20:29,300
If you have, we know that change
is hard.

122
00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:32,700
Change is super hard.
And a lot of times what we do is

123
00:20:32,700 --> 00:20:36,100
we try to bite off the big chunk
and dive in headfirst into

124
00:20:36,100 --> 00:20:39,900
something and we fail pretty
quickly, but I'm here to tell

125
00:20:39,900 --> 00:20:42,200
you today.
If you fall in, if you failed,

126
00:20:42,300 --> 00:20:44,000
no big deal, get back on that
horse.

127
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:49,000
But this time make small
changes, small, habits and roll

128
00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:53,300
those day in today.
And see where God can take you.

129
00:20:53,300 --> 00:20:56,000
I'm so stoked.
As we continue this series to

130
00:20:56,000 --> 00:21:01,100
see how God can use us as a
church in 2023 and Sean's going

131
00:21:01,100 --> 00:21:05,100
to come up here and lead us
through how we can make 2023

132
00:21:05,100 --> 00:21:09,200
your best year, yet your
breakout year, give it up for

133
00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:11,100
Sean Petrie.
He's got a word.

134
00:21:11,100 --> 00:21:14,100
Come on, man.
Who's feeling blessed already

135
00:21:14,100 --> 00:21:16,900
this year?
Guess who I'm blessed.

136
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:20,200
I know Drew man.
He had a good week off, he's got

137
00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:22,600
some spiritual we dz8 some toy
and last couple weeks.

138
00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:25,600
So, I mean, I hope you guys had
a great last Sunday, really

139
00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:28,000
through family and home and I'll
say a special thanks to her

140
00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:29,700
dream team.
It's really the team that really

141
00:21:29,700 --> 00:21:32,300
puts this together and just kind
of tip of the spear for the

142
00:21:32,300 --> 00:21:34,500
things of God.
And I really want to say thank

143
00:21:34,500 --> 00:21:37,400
you from by my heart for putting
together is to really all you do

144
00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:39,400
for the kingdom of God.
And it's it may not feel like

145
00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:42,600
you see it all the time, but
every soul matters and to see

146
00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:45,100
those people come to Christ last
year and decided to go public

147
00:21:45,100 --> 00:21:47,200
through faith and you talking
somebody every other week to

148
00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:49,400
society.
Get baptized and more than that,

149
00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:51,000
really into see their lives
changed.

150
00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:53,600
You play a part of every story.
And so every number is really a

151
00:21:53,608 --> 00:21:56,200
soul and the souls matter to
God, so he could give up her

152
00:21:56,200 --> 00:21:58,700
dream team and just say thank
you for all they do make this

153
00:21:58,700 --> 00:22:03,500
place happen.
Well today we launch into the

154
00:22:03,500 --> 00:22:07,100
second part of the series called
your breakout year and I believe

155
00:22:07,100 --> 00:22:09,400
God has put something very
special on my heart today.

156
00:22:09,900 --> 00:22:12,100
Something that's just been
brewing inside of me and I've

157
00:22:12,100 --> 00:22:14,900
been seeing in other people and
seeing myself and I ruined it is

158
00:22:14,900 --> 00:22:19,100
diving this idea of what it is
to reignite, maybe your personal

159
00:22:19,100 --> 00:22:21,700
passion but really more
importantly, your spiritual

160
00:22:21,700 --> 00:22:24,900
passion, your spiritual purpose
in Christ.

161
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:26,200
And so they I'm going to give
you a message.

162
00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:29,500
It really entitled ignition and
it's really about taking off in

163
00:22:29,500 --> 00:22:33,000
2023, amen.
It's really maybe Missing Link.

164
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:34,800
And I'm not going to give you a
bunch of steps going to really

165
00:22:34,900 --> 00:22:37,300
dive into one key thought today
that reveal later.

166
00:22:37,300 --> 00:22:39,400
And I believe it's just going to
help you take off in this year

167
00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:42,900
in launching the things of God.
And you think about New Year's

168
00:22:42,900 --> 00:22:45,200
and it's really about
resolutions as true kind of

169
00:22:45,300 --> 00:22:47,400
point at and goals.
And I'm not going to give you

170
00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:51,200
really a speech on goals, but I
will say this goals are super

171
00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:53,300
powerful.
Matter of fact that they really

172
00:22:53,300 --> 00:22:56,100
have a big impact and I think
about a study that was taken at

173
00:22:56,100 --> 00:22:58,400
Stanford University.
And it was a long study of a

174
00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:01,100
15-year study, and they surveyed
a large amount of their students

175
00:23:01,100 --> 00:23:04,700
and the kind of track You had
goals, it had plans and so they

176
00:23:04,700 --> 00:23:07,800
asked these students and they
came down to the only 16% of

177
00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:13,000
people had actual goals or plans
and out of those 16, only 3%

178
00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:16,200
actually had written goals and
plans will attract this for 15

179
00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:19,500
years and this word really gets
interesting that they found that

180
00:23:19,500 --> 00:23:22,400
those that had goals, just in
their mind, dead planes.

181
00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:26,100
And our mind actually made twice
as much money as the rest of the

182
00:23:26,100 --> 00:23:28,000
80 would be 84 percent of
people.

183
00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:29,600
And that's pretty, pretty
significant.

184
00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:33,200
But, what's really crazy is that
the number of the 3% had written

185
00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:35,100
goals, they tracked and 15 years
later, and found out.

186
00:23:35,100 --> 00:23:38,000
They made 10 times amount as
money as all nice.

187
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:39,600
And percent combined, is that
crazy.

188
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:43,000
And I lie to guys like this,
like oh here we go, the gold

189
00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:45,000
speech.
Here comes the tension, you

190
00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:47,000
know, like so your blood
pressure went up, right?

191
00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:51,500
Because statistically many if
not most or like 97% of us.

192
00:23:51,500 --> 00:23:53,800
Come on somebody.
Do not have written goals.

193
00:23:57,900 --> 00:23:59,600
I mean, who has written goals
for this year?

194
00:24:01,100 --> 00:24:04,400
Rochelle.
So now you know, where to go ask

195
00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:07,900
money from.
Come on somebody, I'm just

196
00:24:07,900 --> 00:24:08,900
kidding.
I'm just kidding.

197
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:12,000
No, dude, be good, but the
reality is for so many of us, we

198
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:13,400
don't get out of the starting
block.

199
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:17,100
Almost died on the starting
block.

200
00:24:17,100 --> 00:24:18,300
Come on somebody.
Right?

201
00:24:18,300 --> 00:24:21,200
Let's be praying for me, but we
don't we don't gather starting

202
00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:23,200
block.
Well, we don't really get into

203
00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:25,000
the race.
That matter of fact, we like

204
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:27,300
self sabotage yourself before
you even get where God is

205
00:24:27,300 --> 00:24:29,000
calling us to go.
Because there's some voice in

206
00:24:29,008 --> 00:24:31,900
her head and every one of us, we
Face these voices.

207
00:24:31,900 --> 00:24:33,000
There's, there's his voice.
That's it.

208
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:34,500
On our shoulders.
And you have the voice of God

209
00:24:34,500 --> 00:24:37,000
and the Holy Spirit, you really
got the voice of self and Satan

210
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:38,800
and demons, and do your boring,
right?

211
00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:41,400
There's a voice that just so
overbearing for so many of us

212
00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:43,200
and its really voice to
self-defeat.

213
00:24:43,500 --> 00:24:48,100
There's A voice that says this.
Why Try Why Try it?

214
00:24:48,100 --> 00:24:50,500
Really comes down to really the
self-defeat of Why Try.

215
00:24:50,700 --> 00:24:53,400
You'll never make it look what
happened last time.

216
00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:55,600
You said their goal.
Oh, you tried and failed.

217
00:24:55,700 --> 00:24:59,100
And the enemy has a way of just
twisting failure as defeat,

218
00:24:59,100 --> 00:25:02,000
instead of a lesson, you didn't.
Learn is just a failure and over

219
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:03,600
and over is this voice that
happens or had all the time,

220
00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:05,900
you'll never make it white rice,
too difficult and there's

221
00:25:05,900 --> 00:25:08,100
another voice that really speaks
into our heads and through the

222
00:25:08,100 --> 00:25:11,400
voice of laziness.
It's too much work.

223
00:25:11,700 --> 00:25:14,300
Come on somebody, right?
It's too hard.

224
00:25:14,700 --> 00:25:16,600
Like, it's going to take extra
effort.

225
00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:20,300
That that seems to get up and do
some difference in these voices

226
00:25:20,300 --> 00:25:22,300
are just worn our head.
And we come to this point where

227
00:25:22,300 --> 00:25:25,500
we really self sabotage yourself
out of the good things and its

228
00:25:25,500 --> 00:25:27,800
really sad because there's so
many things that we can talk

229
00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:31,100
ourselves out of like Health.
Come on somebody, I mean you're

230
00:25:31,100 --> 00:25:33,900
like man, I know I should do
this but in the voices come,

231
00:25:33,900 --> 00:25:36,300
right?
Or we talked about maybe

232
00:25:36,300 --> 00:25:38,700
pursuing God and you know you
are getting the word of God.

233
00:25:38,700 --> 00:25:41,900
I said a spiritual goal.
You know, and obviously people

234
00:25:41,900 --> 00:25:44,500
talk themselves out of Heaven,
you Lily, give them a book to

235
00:25:44,500 --> 00:25:46,800
read the round, the custom-make
sister Christ, and they're

236
00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:49,000
having this great conversations
and then it's like, I just don't

237
00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:51,400
know and then they just walk
away because they've reached

238
00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:54,300
themselves out of the feet away
from Jesus.

239
00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:57,000
Matt fact people talk themselves
out of making more money.

240
00:25:57,400 --> 00:26:00,600
They talk to themselves at a of
building their marriage.

241
00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:02,900
I mean, it's like I know we
should do something different

242
00:26:02,900 --> 00:26:06,500
but man, I don't know if I can.
You talk yourself out of

243
00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:08,900
educating yourself of reading
books.

244
00:26:08,900 --> 00:26:10,800
Come on, somebody.
Yeah, I know you're like, oh no,

245
00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:13,800
it should read some books, but
can we talk ourselves out?

246
00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:16,400
Learn this skill, and ultimately
can talk ourselves realistically

247
00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:20,300
out of the mission of God.
It's so easy to sit on our

248
00:26:20,300 --> 00:26:22,800
hands.
It's so easy to stay more at.

249
00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:25,300
We don't get out, the starting
block, and so easy to really

250
00:26:25,300 --> 00:26:28,200
self sabotage our future.
And we're the ones that very

251
00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:31,000
well do it more than anybody.
And I mean, talk to myself a

252
00:26:31,008 --> 00:26:32,900
little bit.
See right where this written out

253
00:26:32,900 --> 00:26:35,200
goals, like where we leaning
into its direction?

254
00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:36,200
Do I have?
And I would do something very

255
00:26:36,200 --> 00:26:37,900
special day.
I want to look at the life of

256
00:26:37,900 --> 00:26:41,100
Paul and I want to just look at
his Is Passion like what?

257
00:26:41,100 --> 00:26:44,700
Ignited Paul's passion.
Like what gave him this Zeal?

258
00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:47,100
Like what made him go through
all this hard stuff.

259
00:26:47,100 --> 00:26:50,200
Me Shipwrecked and left for dead
and I mean he was they tried to

260
00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:51,500
murder him the first day became
a Christian.

261
00:26:51,500 --> 00:26:53,400
Come on somebody.
I mean, a lot of people can't

262
00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:55,200
get up, go to church.
Come on, right?

263
00:26:55,500 --> 00:26:58,800
And Paul's being threatened to
be killed and put other side of

264
00:26:58,800 --> 00:27:01,100
a wall to hide from people.
Trying to murder his first day,

265
00:27:01,100 --> 00:27:03,200
becomes a Christian.
Like, where does passion come

266
00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:04,500
from?
And I've heard this said,

267
00:27:04,500 --> 00:27:06,500
there's two most important days
of life, as they are born.

268
00:27:07,100 --> 00:27:11,800
And they, you find out Why he
has no it the day you find out

269
00:27:11,800 --> 00:27:13,600
why?
And that's my prayer for you

270
00:27:13,608 --> 00:27:15,200
today.
Is that the Holy Spirit would

271
00:27:15,208 --> 00:27:21,200
just whisper into your heart?
That this is why that you just

272
00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:23,800
make room for God and you'd see
the mission of God.

273
00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:27,200
You see the call of God in your
life and you'd be reinvigorated

274
00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:28,500
for the things of God and say,
hey!

275
00:27:28,500 --> 00:27:31,100
This is why, amen.
So I want you to fight.

276
00:27:31,100 --> 00:27:32,500
You just close your eyes for a
second.

277
00:27:32,500 --> 00:27:34,900
I don't you invite the Holy
Spirit just in next to you just

278
00:27:34,900 --> 00:27:39,500
say God.
Remind me of why I'm in the race

279
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:41,900
Now.
Give me a purpose to wake up to

280
00:27:42,500 --> 00:27:44,500
God.
As of right, you to move in got

281
00:27:44,500 --> 00:27:47,900
to making room for you to speak.
To me, don't make this my this

282
00:27:47,900 --> 00:27:51,800
is why moment today in Jesus
name.

283
00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:54,700
Amen.
And I want you to look at the

284
00:27:54,700 --> 00:27:56,900
life of Paul in this story
really starts out and I'm used

285
00:27:56,900 --> 00:27:59,200
some background.
He give me Paul says well I mean

286
00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:01,700
he's got a lot of background but
I'll give you a piece of what he

287
00:28:01,700 --> 00:28:03,800
says and spending Philippians
chapter 3 verse 4.

288
00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:06,500
It says this it mean if someone
else thinks they have reason to

289
00:28:06,600 --> 00:28:11,100
To put confidence in the flesh,
I have more, I mean, if anybody

290
00:28:11,100 --> 00:28:14,300
is good, I mean they could be
self-righteous and his ability

291
00:28:14,300 --> 00:28:17,100
to boast about great, they are
and of accomplish things, man,

292
00:28:17,100 --> 00:28:19,800
it's me, it's Paul and I was
circumcised.

293
00:28:19,800 --> 00:28:21,400
The eighth day.
I was the people to Israel's

294
00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:23,400
Tribe of Benjamin, the best of
the best.

295
00:28:23,400 --> 00:28:25,400
I was the elite.
I was Hebrews of Hebrews.

296
00:28:25,400 --> 00:28:27,300
I was in regards to the law, a
Pharisee.

297
00:28:27,300 --> 00:28:29,700
I was the leader of the law,
memorize the books of the Bible.

298
00:28:29,700 --> 00:28:31,900
I knew the tour.
I was perfectly righteous in the

299
00:28:31,900 --> 00:28:35,100
eyes of God and as for Zeal as
her passion and he's so

300
00:28:35,100 --> 00:28:36,400
passionate is persecuting the
church.

301
00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:41,000
As for righteousness based on
the law when I was faultless you

302
00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:43,500
think about Paul before he
became a Christian this man was

303
00:28:43,500 --> 00:28:45,700
so full of himself.
He had no room for God Amen.

304
00:28:46,300 --> 00:28:48,600
I mean it really was he thought
he figured it out.

305
00:28:48,600 --> 00:28:50,700
Like he had all the right
answers.

306
00:28:50,700 --> 00:28:54,700
He's persecuting the church you
find in Acts chapter 7 the the

307
00:28:54,800 --> 00:28:57,000
first martyr in the New
Testament you see Steven and

308
00:28:57,200 --> 00:28:59,900
Paul's one holding the cloaks.
He's holding people's coats as

309
00:28:59,900 --> 00:29:03,000
they're throwing stones and
killing Steven and he Paul just

310
00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:06,700
gets this passion a Zeal for
what he thinks is right and our

311
00:29:06,700 --> 00:29:09,300
fact he starts arresting
Christians and it's amazing.

312
00:29:09,300 --> 00:29:10,600
I just want to stop here for a
second.

313
00:29:10,700 --> 00:29:15,000
It's amazing how God used Paul
in a mighty way.

314
00:29:15,100 --> 00:29:17,200
Amen.
It really is amazing.

315
00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:20,200
You have you have a you have a
murderer somebody that was it

316
00:29:20,200 --> 00:29:23,300
was going after Christians and
killing them and then is

317
00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:25,900
transformed by the power of
Christ by the Holy Spirit, you

318
00:29:25,900 --> 00:29:27,600
know called his life and also
said he's going to he's

319
00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:30,500
converting people far from God
to Christianity.

320
00:29:30,500 --> 00:29:33,000
Amen.
He went from destroying the

321
00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:35,200
church to developing leaders in
the church.

322
00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:36,400
Amen.
Amen.

323
00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:38,800
You look at the last four books
that Paul wrote he wrote

324
00:29:38,800 --> 00:29:43,000
specifically to leaders in the
church like he's launching the

325
00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:45,100
church.
Matter fact, almost 40% New

326
00:29:45,100 --> 00:29:47,900
Testament is written by Paul but
Paul was on fire.

327
00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:50,600
He was ignited by the things of
God.

328
00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:52,500
That's what say you day.
You're never too messed up for

329
00:29:52,500 --> 00:29:55,800
God to use you.
Amen you never to my stuff.

330
00:29:56,000 --> 00:29:59,100
You're never too messed up to
add value to the kingdom of God.

331
00:29:59,300 --> 00:30:02,100
I mean, if there's breath in
your lungs, which own care

332
00:30:02,100 --> 00:30:03,700
guaranteed, none.
Amen.

333
00:30:04,200 --> 00:30:07,700
God has a purpose for you.
And the reality is this no

334
00:30:07,708 --> 00:30:10,900
matter how dirty you are messed
up this season is or what have

335
00:30:10,900 --> 00:30:13,100
you did?
You're never to duty dirty for

336
00:30:13,100 --> 00:30:14,300
God to love you.
Amen.

337
00:30:14,800 --> 00:30:17,100
You're never.
And we get hung up on this like

338
00:30:17,100 --> 00:30:18,700
I'm not good enough.
I can't make it.

339
00:30:18,800 --> 00:30:21,400
I was going to encourage you.
The question isn't are you

340
00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:24,700
precious to God?
That's not the question because

341
00:30:24,700 --> 00:30:25,900
we have God's grace.
Amen.

342
00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:29,300
God loved you through your sin.
That's God's grace.

343
00:30:29,300 --> 00:30:31,900
He cares for you.
You can never be too far from

344
00:30:31,900 --> 00:30:33,100
God for God.
Not to love you.

345
00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:36,400
The real question in 2023 is God
precious.

346
00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:42,100
Youyou is got precious to you,
like it is here, like you got

347
00:30:42,100 --> 00:30:46,000
your ear to the Holy Spirit like
you walking with him.

348
00:30:46,300 --> 00:30:49,300
That that's really the question
because out of that is birth

349
00:30:49,300 --> 00:30:52,900
your call and your passion that
drives, really everything else

350
00:30:52,900 --> 00:30:54,700
in your life, something much
deeper than a goal.

351
00:30:54,900 --> 00:30:57,700
So, when you look back at Paul's
story and what really knighted

352
00:30:57,700 --> 00:31:01,500
his faith and really back into
really his conversion, and he

353
00:31:01,500 --> 00:31:05,100
says this in Romans 15 is so
last chapter of Romans, he says

354
00:31:05,100 --> 00:31:07,300
this, he says, therefore I Talk
about Paul.

355
00:31:07,300 --> 00:31:09,700
I glory in Christ Jesus and my
service to God.

356
00:31:09,900 --> 00:31:13,700
I will not venture to speak of
anything except for Christ is

357
00:31:13,708 --> 00:31:16,300
accomplished through me.
I'm not gonna talk about

358
00:31:16,300 --> 00:31:17,800
anything else.
Am I going to boast in anything?

359
00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:20,300
I've done with my human ability
but I will boast in.

360
00:31:20,300 --> 00:31:23,500
This only says in leading the
Gentiles to obey.

361
00:31:23,500 --> 00:31:26,400
God teaching you obedient right?
Matthew 28.

362
00:31:26,600 --> 00:31:28,900
I'm not going to post anything.
Everything secondary to the

363
00:31:28,900 --> 00:31:31,600
mission that God had me on.
It's the only thing that matters

364
00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:35,300
Souls matter to Paulette men
because they're on the heart of

365
00:31:35,300 --> 00:31:38,400
God.
He said this on both anything

366
00:31:38,400 --> 00:31:41,100
but what I've said or done but
the by the power of signs and

367
00:31:41,100 --> 00:31:43,400
wonders through the power of the
Holy Spirit.

368
00:31:43,400 --> 00:31:46,600
And so from Jerusalem, all the
way around to a liquor IAM, this

369
00:31:46,600 --> 00:31:48,900
is the place where you travel to
his missionary Journeys.

370
00:31:48,900 --> 00:31:53,100
He says I fully proclaimed, the
gospel of Christ made, wouldn't

371
00:31:53,100 --> 00:31:56,100
that be a goal for our lives?
The fully proclaim, the gospel

372
00:31:56,100 --> 00:32:01,300
of Christ and has always been my
what helped me out my So do my

373
00:32:01,300 --> 00:32:06,300
mission, it's always been my
desire since day one, my passion

374
00:32:06,300 --> 00:32:10,300
my drive since the beginning, my
purpose was to preach the gospel

375
00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:13,500
where Christ was not known.
So I would not be building on

376
00:32:13,500 --> 00:32:16,600
someone else's Foundation rather
as it is written.

377
00:32:16,900 --> 00:32:20,000
There's this verse that Paul is
going to quote and found Isaiah

378
00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:22,300
52.
This verse was in the heart of

379
00:32:22,300 --> 00:32:25,900
God or in the heart of Paul from
God and it drove his ministry.

380
00:32:25,900 --> 00:32:28,200
It was the birthplace really of
his passion.

381
00:32:28,200 --> 00:32:30,800
He says this those who are not
told about Got him.

382
00:32:30,800 --> 00:32:32,900
We'll see.
Jesus and those who have not

383
00:32:32,900 --> 00:32:35,300
heard will understand, really
the gospel.

384
00:32:35,600 --> 00:32:38,200
And so we get some insights here
from Paul really about real.

385
00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:41,600
His where is your passion came
from and really season bishan

386
00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:45,700
was was to preach the good news
to those who never heard to on

387
00:32:45,700 --> 00:32:47,800
his first day that he's always
been a since day.

388
00:32:47,800 --> 00:32:51,100
One, this has been his passion
and almost say this about Paul

389
00:32:51,200 --> 00:32:53,300
see Paul found his.
Why not in the day that was born

390
00:32:53,300 --> 00:32:56,600
but the day he was born again.
Amen.

391
00:32:57,400 --> 00:32:59,000
The day you was born again is
where he found his.

392
00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:03,900
Why like, you cannot unmarried
the gospel from your passion and

393
00:33:03,900 --> 00:33:04,900
drive in life.
Amen.

394
00:33:05,500 --> 00:33:08,700
Because that's why we're here.
And so Paul, like he was born

395
00:33:08,700 --> 00:33:11,700
again, and he didn't find his
passion and drive in life and

396
00:33:11,700 --> 00:33:14,100
something accomplished with his
human hands in his own power and

397
00:33:14,100 --> 00:33:16,200
his own strength in his own, a
building, his own

398
00:33:16,200 --> 00:33:18,400
self-righteousness and the
things of the world, then we

399
00:33:18,400 --> 00:33:21,200
found it in.
Jesus, matter of fact, when

400
00:33:21,500 --> 00:33:25,200
Jesus found him and Acts chapter
9, he was persecuting

401
00:33:25,200 --> 00:33:27,300
Christians.
He was trying to get orders to

402
00:33:27,300 --> 00:33:30,500
arrest churches and kill
Christians, and Jesus found him

403
00:33:30,500 --> 00:33:34,800
on the road, right?
And that light shined in Paul's

404
00:33:34,800 --> 00:33:37,000
eyes, and blinded him is a who
is this?

405
00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:40,300
And he said, this is Jesus and
that was Paul's, oh, poop

406
00:33:40,300 --> 00:33:42,200
moment.
Come on somebody, right?

407
00:33:42,600 --> 00:33:44,600
Because, you know, if your are
blinded her scales in your face

408
00:33:44,600 --> 00:33:46,900
and you know, the god, the
Living God of all creation, who

409
00:33:46,900 --> 00:33:50,200
you've killed his followers, and
you've talked blasted against

410
00:33:50,200 --> 00:33:52,300
all these things is in front of
you.

411
00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:55,100
You're wondering if you're going
to get zapped into eternity,

412
00:33:55,100 --> 00:33:56,900
come on.
Just boom.

413
00:33:56,900 --> 00:33:59,600
I'm you can see the just the
amount of sweat and fear and

414
00:33:59,600 --> 00:34:02,900
everything upon Paul and this is
just Jesus as leading Paul to

415
00:34:02,900 --> 00:34:04,300
Jesus.
Come on somebody, right?

416
00:34:04,500 --> 00:34:07,100
I mean this fear because he is
gone the wrong direction.

417
00:34:07,300 --> 00:34:10,199
And since day one and his faith,
he's born again, this is what he

418
00:34:10,199 --> 00:34:12,699
says, he tells don't test me in
Galatians, this is his first

419
00:34:12,699 --> 00:34:14,199
book.
He writes, Galatians chapter 1

420
00:34:14,199 --> 00:34:17,199
verse 11, tells a story.
I want you to know Brothers and

421
00:34:17,199 --> 00:34:19,300
Sisters of the Gospel.
I preach is not of human origin.

422
00:34:19,600 --> 00:34:22,800
I didn't receive it from man.
No, he didn't, nor was I taught

423
00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:25,800
it rather isolated by Revelation
from Jesus Christ.

424
00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:29,400
So, but who can say that Jesus
led me to Jesus, and I was

425
00:34:29,400 --> 00:34:32,199
terrified for.
Yeah, I've heard of my previous

426
00:34:32,199 --> 00:34:34,400
way of Judaism.
I'm intensely, how I persecuted

427
00:34:34,400 --> 00:34:36,400
the church and I tried to
destroy it.

428
00:34:36,600 --> 00:34:39,300
I was advancing your Judaism
beyond my own age because, you

429
00:34:39,300 --> 00:34:40,699
know, he's told my self
righteousness, right?

430
00:34:40,699 --> 00:34:42,900
Among people is extremely
zealous of the traditions of my

431
00:34:42,900 --> 00:34:46,300
father, but when God come on,
somebody who knows, this is what

432
00:34:46,300 --> 00:34:47,900
changed for you life to there's
that.

433
00:34:47,900 --> 00:34:51,199
But when God moment and
everything shifted for you, and

434
00:34:51,199 --> 00:34:55,199
what when God set me apart, when
God purposed me, when God

435
00:34:55,199 --> 00:34:57,900
changed my My life because I
realized who he was and says

436
00:34:57,900 --> 00:35:01,000
this, when God sent me apart
from my mother's womb and called

437
00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:03,700
me by his grace was, please
reveal his son in me.

438
00:35:03,700 --> 00:35:08,400
So, I might help me, I might
what might preach the boys can

439
00:35:08,400 --> 00:35:12,500
be called to be a preacher of
God preached Jesus among the

440
00:35:12,500 --> 00:35:14,300
Gentiles.
Among those who never heard

441
00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:17,400
among those far from God.
Can I say really quickly?

442
00:35:17,400 --> 00:35:21,000
You are purpose from God.
You are purpose from God.

443
00:35:21,200 --> 00:35:22,800
They got, you're not here to
take up space.

444
00:35:22,800 --> 00:35:25,600
Amen.
We're not here to fill a seat.

445
00:35:26,100 --> 00:35:29,400
You're not here to make it
through 2023 and survive here.

446
00:35:29,400 --> 00:35:32,500
Live for the weekend, your
purpose by God, there's breath

447
00:35:32,500 --> 00:35:34,500
in your lungs were called to do
something about it.

448
00:35:34,500 --> 00:35:37,100
And the main thing is really
share, Jesus and Obey.

449
00:35:37,100 --> 00:35:40,300
Jesus fall in love with Jesus,
your set apart on a mission from

450
00:35:40,300 --> 00:35:42,700
the womb.
In other words, you were made

451
00:35:42,700 --> 00:35:47,400
for this literally think about
it made for this.

452
00:35:47,500 --> 00:35:49,700
The reason you're put together
is because you're going to be

453
00:35:49,700 --> 00:35:52,900
called by God to live on mission
on purpose for the things of

454
00:35:52,900 --> 00:35:54,800
Christ.
In fact, the day you were born

455
00:35:54,800 --> 00:35:58,100
again, the spirit of God would
whisper into your soul.

456
00:35:58,400 --> 00:36:04,200
This is why.
Amen, this is why you're not

457
00:36:04,200 --> 00:36:06,500
Ambassador for Christ.
It really is a matter what

458
00:36:06,500 --> 00:36:08,700
career path and all the things
of this world.

459
00:36:08,700 --> 00:36:10,700
What really matters is what did
you do with Jesus?

460
00:36:11,000 --> 00:36:14,200
What is your passion and drive
to to bring her co-workers to

461
00:36:14,200 --> 00:36:16,900
Christ or the friend of the
neighbor or the person?

462
00:36:16,900 --> 00:36:19,300
Maybe you don't like come on
somebody right by Walmart

463
00:36:19,300 --> 00:36:22,300
buddies, right?
Like we're is that and that's

464
00:36:22,300 --> 00:36:24,700
what God is calling us to do.
Matter of fact, I'll say this.

465
00:36:24,700 --> 00:36:27,300
You can't, you can't discover
your purpose apart from God.

466
00:36:27,800 --> 00:36:30,700
You can't find it anywhere.
You can't find it in self-help.

467
00:36:30,700 --> 00:36:33,100
You can't find it in money.
You can't find it being

468
00:36:33,100 --> 00:36:34,700
self-actualized.
Sorry Maslow.

469
00:36:34,800 --> 00:36:37,500
Come on, right?
He took psychology come.

470
00:36:37,500 --> 00:36:39,900
All right, a long time ago,
right?

471
00:36:40,700 --> 00:36:43,200
But you have a God, right?
Who has given you a purpose,

472
00:36:43,300 --> 00:36:46,300
it's in your DNA.
Come on, it flows in your veins,

473
00:36:46,300 --> 00:36:49,600
it's in your bones, amen.
This is where it comes from.

474
00:36:49,700 --> 00:36:52,100
And so, for Paul, like all of a
sudden, his whole life was

475
00:36:52,100 --> 00:36:55,200
wrecked for Jesus, And God gave
him a lie.

476
00:36:55,300 --> 00:36:58,000
And so in the Christian faith,
when people say well, I can

477
00:36:58,000 --> 00:37:01,700
soar, it's too hard or it's not
possible or like it's, this is

478
00:37:01,700 --> 00:37:04,700
self-defeat and all this.
Like you get laziness all these

479
00:37:04,700 --> 00:37:07,500
things.
That's the flesh speaking, that

480
00:37:07,500 --> 00:37:09,700
that's Satan, that that's not
the things of God.

481
00:37:09,700 --> 00:37:12,200
Amen?
Because you're serving a living

482
00:37:12,200 --> 00:37:14,200
God, who has given you a call
and on Mission.

483
00:37:14,200 --> 00:37:16,700
So we don't use those words.
Those are the words we choose

484
00:37:16,700 --> 00:37:18,900
the were we get up and say, okay
God you give me a purpose of

485
00:37:18,900 --> 00:37:20,100
that.
What's your purpose for me

486
00:37:20,100 --> 00:37:21,800
today?
Like I'm going to live on

487
00:37:21,900 --> 00:37:24,300
Mission today.
Look what happened.

488
00:37:24,300 --> 00:37:26,400
When Paul found is why this is
incredible, Paul became a

489
00:37:26,408 --> 00:37:28,500
Christian and he's on, he's on
the road, right?

490
00:37:28,500 --> 00:37:30,800
And he has skills in space, and
then there's a whole situation

491
00:37:30,800 --> 00:37:32,400
occurs.
We're Jesus ends up in

492
00:37:32,400 --> 00:37:35,000
Jerusalem, heard Paul ends up in
Jerusalem in the scales fall

493
00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:37,500
from space and Paul starts
preaching day one.

494
00:37:37,500 --> 00:37:40,900
He starts proclaiming the gospel
day one, he says going around,

495
00:37:40,900 --> 00:37:43,200
he's basically telling people.
He was wrong and now they're

496
00:37:43,200 --> 00:37:45,700
wrong and they change and they
didn't receive it.

497
00:37:45,700 --> 00:37:48,200
Very well, right, y'all been
that church come on somebody,

498
00:37:48,200 --> 00:37:49,700
right?
They didn't receive very well

499
00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:51,800
and so basically, they went to
kill him.

500
00:37:52,100 --> 00:37:56,000
I mean these so he's Escaping
the City by other disciples so

501
00:37:56,000 --> 00:37:58,200
he can survive.
Now I know what your first week

502
00:37:58,200 --> 00:38:01,300
if you come to Christian look
like come on somebody about how

503
00:38:01,300 --> 00:38:03,900
hard that was but I guarantee
you it didn't look anything like

504
00:38:03,900 --> 00:38:07,200
this but his face was real day
one that s.

505
00:38:07,200 --> 00:38:08,800
There was no pretending there
was no game.

506
00:38:08,800 --> 00:38:12,100
It was like Oh my Jesus is real
and so he started proclaiming

507
00:38:12,100 --> 00:38:15,000
the name of Jesus.
It is something very unique that

508
00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:19,300
he's called into the Wilderness.
He leaves the crowd, the people,

509
00:38:19,300 --> 00:38:22,500
the mission of reaching people
in that season and he goes and

510
00:38:22,500 --> 00:38:23,600
he spends time in the
wilderness.

511
00:38:23,800 --> 00:38:27,500
Yes, it's a desert and tradition
says that he spent time with

512
00:38:27,500 --> 00:38:29,500
Jesus.
This was Paul's an apostle.

513
00:38:29,500 --> 00:38:32,200
He you'd be Apostle you have to
actually been with Jesus.

514
00:38:32,600 --> 00:38:36,200
And so Paul is with Jesus and
having conversations with Jesus,

515
00:38:36,200 --> 00:38:39,500
in the wilderness is being
discipled or led by Jesus.

516
00:38:39,500 --> 00:38:42,500
And I just think about like
this, like a fireside chat,

517
00:38:42,500 --> 00:38:44,800
right?
Like imagine like a campfire and

518
00:38:44,800 --> 00:38:47,700
Paul stand there, or sitting
there next to Jesus and making

519
00:38:47,700 --> 00:38:50,400
eye contact and and you know,
you're asking Jesus all these

520
00:38:50,400 --> 00:38:52,600
questions.
And I think the main thing that

521
00:38:52,600 --> 00:38:56,100
you'd pick up on is In the heart
of God, because only what's on

522
00:38:56,100 --> 00:38:57,100
God's heart should be on our
heart.

523
00:38:57,100 --> 00:39:00,300
Amen.
And so, Paul is like a g, what's

524
00:39:00,300 --> 00:39:03,200
on your heart?
Like, why would you do all this?

525
00:39:03,500 --> 00:39:06,500
And I think if you just, I'm
speculating here, right?

526
00:39:06,700 --> 00:39:09,800
But if you go back, there's a,
there's a passage in Isaiah, the

527
00:39:09,800 --> 00:39:11,500
Paul referred to in his own
life.

528
00:39:11,700 --> 00:39:15,000
And it's not as a 52 and maybe
Jesus would open this passage

529
00:39:15,100 --> 00:39:18,700
and just describe a little bit
about who he is as a fitted to

530
00:39:18,700 --> 00:39:20,800
it says this look, my servant
will succeed.

531
00:39:20,800 --> 00:39:22,200
This is talking about Jesus
himself.

532
00:39:22,200 --> 00:39:25,100
Look, I will succeed.
And I'll be elevated.

533
00:39:25,200 --> 00:39:27,600
I'll be lifted high and greatly
exalted.

534
00:39:27,600 --> 00:39:29,900
Just as many were horrified by
the sight of you.

535
00:39:29,900 --> 00:39:32,200
He wouldn't talk about Paul but
Paul would relate to this very

536
00:39:32,200 --> 00:39:33,700
quickly because they are tried
to kill him.

537
00:39:34,100 --> 00:39:38,100
He said, I was so disfigured.
I no longer look like a man, if

538
00:39:38,100 --> 00:39:42,500
my form was so marred.
I no longer looked human and as

539
00:39:42,500 --> 00:39:45,400
Paul sat there with Jesus, Jesus
would be counts, he would

540
00:39:45,400 --> 00:39:48,700
reiterate and he would share was
like, to be crucified.

541
00:39:49,300 --> 00:39:52,800
He would talk about the crown of
thorns as pushed into his scalp

542
00:39:53,200 --> 00:39:57,100
and how I felt with the the
nails push through his his

543
00:39:57,100 --> 00:40:00,800
wrists and his ankles and he
would look at Paul talking about

544
00:40:00,800 --> 00:40:03,700
the tension of not calling on
the angels to wipe out Humanity

545
00:40:03,700 --> 00:40:07,100
because he loves Humanity.
He walked through the whole

546
00:40:07,100 --> 00:40:12,100
story, all the pain, the horror
of being disfigured as a human

547
00:40:12,100 --> 00:40:14,700
that nobody recognize them and
say Paul.

548
00:40:15,100 --> 00:40:18,100
I did it for you.
Amen.

549
00:40:19,100 --> 00:40:22,800
I did it for you.
But I didn't just do for you.

550
00:40:23,700 --> 00:40:27,200
I did it for them.
Those people had to go back to

551
00:40:27,200 --> 00:40:29,400
you.
I did it for love, all those

552
00:40:29,400 --> 00:40:34,500
Gentiles and all the kings, and
all the nations in, Jesus would

553
00:40:34,500 --> 00:40:37,400
have quoted.
This verse may be ready.

554
00:40:38,200 --> 00:40:42,600
He said I will startle some
versus a Sprinkle really means

555
00:40:42,600 --> 00:40:45,800
cleanse, the nation's, it's like
this priest, like, sprinkling

556
00:40:45,800 --> 00:40:48,600
water over the nations with the
gospel, like I will cleanse the

557
00:40:48,600 --> 00:40:53,300
Nations fall and Kings will
Stand speechless and my presents

558
00:40:53,600 --> 00:40:57,700
the greatest among all grades in
this world will chew jaw dropped

559
00:40:57,700 --> 00:41:01,000
at the name of Jesus for.
They will see what they have not

560
00:41:01,000 --> 00:41:05,600
been told and they'll understand
within I heard about and from

561
00:41:05,600 --> 00:41:07,700
this moment on this would have
Paul's life worse.

562
00:41:07,700 --> 00:41:10,000
Amen.
He just changed his.

563
00:41:10,000 --> 00:41:11,800
Tell a story in the first thing
he says, is let me tell you

564
00:41:11,800 --> 00:41:14,200
about something.
He says there's nations of you

565
00:41:14,200 --> 00:41:15,300
changed.
It starts quoting.

566
00:41:15,300 --> 00:41:19,200
This verse, we think that came
from that passion is just set

567
00:41:19,200 --> 00:41:21,400
into his heart.
It's his passion with Why Paul's

568
00:41:21,400 --> 00:41:22,900
life to bring the gospel to all
people?

569
00:41:23,800 --> 00:41:25,500
He surrendered his heart to the
heart of God.

570
00:41:25,700 --> 00:41:27,900
See, Paul do the reality that
the nation's working to reach

571
00:41:27,900 --> 00:41:28,800
themselves.
Amen.

572
00:41:30,000 --> 00:41:31,600
If no one tells them to never
hear.

573
00:41:32,400 --> 00:41:35,100
How will they hear without
somebody telling them?

574
00:41:35,400 --> 00:41:40,400
This is Paul, this is Romans 10,
he's sharing this heart at

575
00:41:40,400 --> 00:41:42,300
church.
It's like how is it empty?

576
00:41:42,300 --> 00:41:45,500
See going to make disciples.
There's a lot of great messages

577
00:41:45,500 --> 00:41:51,200
preached around the world NBC's.
They really are the Paul got it.

578
00:41:51,500 --> 00:41:54,000
He's like, I'm called, like I
understand.

579
00:41:54,000 --> 00:41:56,000
It's our honor to go after the
things of God.

580
00:41:56,700 --> 00:41:58,200
It's all know about you, but
have you surrendered to the

581
00:41:58,207 --> 00:42:00,800
heart of God?
Have you put your ear to the

582
00:42:00,800 --> 00:42:02,800
Holy Spirit?
Have you listened?

583
00:42:03,100 --> 00:42:07,100
I mean, if God can save somebody
like me, This is your town

584
00:42:07,100 --> 00:42:11,000
yourself that as well as me that
I need to tell somebody else.

585
00:42:11,000 --> 00:42:14,100
Amen.
I mean, if God willing to reach

586
00:42:14,100 --> 00:42:18,600
our city, he would already done
it, but he chooses use us.

587
00:42:18,700 --> 00:42:21,100
Amen, and that's what we're here
for.

588
00:42:21,600 --> 00:42:25,200
We're here to make God big to
show off his glory, his power,

589
00:42:25,200 --> 00:42:28,500
his strength in the faith, we
have in Jesus, we lived out to a

590
00:42:28,508 --> 00:42:32,100
loss of Dying World, where a
light, come on, somebody who we

591
00:42:32,100 --> 00:42:34,800
don't sit on our hands under a
basket.

592
00:42:35,400 --> 00:42:36,800
We shine to the world.
Amen.

593
00:42:37,400 --> 00:42:38,800
That's what God's called us to
do.

594
00:42:39,100 --> 00:42:41,200
My bachelor, cool about Paul, he
would go on to stand before

595
00:42:41,200 --> 00:42:42,800
Kings.
It's pretty cool.

596
00:42:43,500 --> 00:42:45,300
That fact you'll find that Acts
26 T.

597
00:42:45,400 --> 00:42:49,200
He goes for the governor Festus.
He's sitting in jail this point

598
00:42:49,400 --> 00:42:52,000
and they switched out some
governor's and festive shows up

599
00:42:52,000 --> 00:42:53,800
and he's kind of confused on
what to do with Paul because

600
00:42:53,800 --> 00:42:56,800
he's like, I will have a reason
to send the wrong but he wants

601
00:42:56,800 --> 00:42:58,400
to go.
But I don't even tell Rome.

602
00:42:58,500 --> 00:43:00,200
So he calls on the Buddy of his
who was King.

603
00:43:00,200 --> 00:43:03,400
Agrippa, this is the first time
that Paul gets to share the

604
00:43:03,400 --> 00:43:06,300
gospel of this King if you get a
chance to read Acts 26, I mean

605
00:43:06,300 --> 00:43:09,100
he lays it out cold.
I mean he's just there and then

606
00:43:09,100 --> 00:43:11,400
Fest this is like hey you need
to calm down, you're going crazy

607
00:43:11,400 --> 00:43:14,300
is, I'm not crazy and this Those
not crazy because he knows the

608
00:43:14,300 --> 00:43:16,300
ways of this Faith.
He's ours laying out to King

609
00:43:16,300 --> 00:43:17,800
Agrippa.
There's one this verse in the

610
00:43:17,800 --> 00:43:19,100
Bible.
This makes your hair stand on

611
00:43:19,100 --> 00:43:22,300
end because it's like, I mean, I
hope that's not me because Ken

612
00:43:22,300 --> 00:43:26,200
Griffey makes this comment.
He says, you were so close to

613
00:43:26,200 --> 00:43:31,600
persuade people.
But you're not going to so many

614
00:43:31,600 --> 00:43:34,600
people.
He left unchanged by the gospel

615
00:43:34,800 --> 00:43:37,400
and Paul is lays it out for.
It's just so amazing because you

616
00:43:37,400 --> 00:43:41,000
standing in front of Kings like
this verse that Jesus has given

617
00:43:41,000 --> 00:43:44,200
them is coming true.
Matter of fact, Paul if you know

618
00:43:44,200 --> 00:43:47,300
a story is sent off to Rome.
He's appealed as a Roman

619
00:43:47,300 --> 00:43:49,800
citizen.
So he took that direction and

620
00:43:49,800 --> 00:43:51,600
he's sitting there and it in
Philippians 4.

621
00:43:51,600 --> 00:43:54,700
He's friends with the household
of Caesar like the guards, the

622
00:43:54,707 --> 00:43:59,000
people of family members, right?
And it says also in Acts 20.

623
00:43:59,100 --> 00:44:01,700
Seven that he's gonna stand for
the a it's not found in the

624
00:44:01,700 --> 00:44:04,600
Bible read out, but we know full
heartedly that Jesus would have

625
00:44:04,900 --> 00:44:09,400
Jesus Jesus welcomed us that
Paul would have stood before

626
00:44:09,400 --> 00:44:14,000
Emperor Nero Nero, the Ceaser of
Rome and shared the gospel.

627
00:44:14,100 --> 00:44:17,500
How crazy is that that your
audience would be really the

628
00:44:17,500 --> 00:44:21,300
most powerful human in that
moment of time in existence.

629
00:44:21,300 --> 00:44:24,400
Paul worked his way over God,
moved him in that direction

630
00:44:24,400 --> 00:44:26,500
because he's willing to be
passionate enough to be

631
00:44:26,500 --> 00:44:29,000
arrested, and shipwreck, and
left for dead at home.

632
00:44:29,600 --> 00:44:31,300
Threats against him because he
had a call on his life.

633
00:44:31,300 --> 00:44:34,800
Amen.
This this is, this is, this is

634
00:44:34,800 --> 00:44:40,000
just the beginning of the Gospel
spreading to really our world

635
00:44:40,100 --> 00:44:43,100
because a man like Paul was just
faithful to the call of God does

636
00:44:43,100 --> 00:44:44,700
laughs.
You know, I would say this poll

637
00:44:44,700 --> 00:44:48,600
didn't do a citizen's, you can't
miss this, but Paul didn't do.

638
00:44:48,600 --> 00:44:49,400
It is.
So we people.

639
00:44:49,400 --> 00:44:53,300
It's like man of God who shows
up this year, God's in a recent

640
00:44:53,300 --> 00:44:57,900
people and they wait for God to
move a mountain or solve the

641
00:44:57,900 --> 00:44:59,900
problem.
It's like, dude, that's why God

642
00:44:59,900 --> 00:45:01,000
put you there.
Amen.

643
00:45:02,000 --> 00:45:04,800
Like you're there to move.
See Paul had a call on his life,

644
00:45:04,800 --> 00:45:08,200
but he also had calloused hands.
Amen, he went out.

645
00:45:08,400 --> 00:45:11,800
It was hard work.
That's a scary word but it was

646
00:45:11,800 --> 00:45:14,500
worth it.
Who knows the fortune favors the

647
00:45:14,500 --> 00:45:17,900
Bold, like the like the cause of
Christ means for for those who

648
00:45:17,900 --> 00:45:20,800
have bold faith and Paul had the
both faith.

649
00:45:21,000 --> 00:45:24,400
It looked like the way that he
writes a story, but who exactly

650
00:45:24,400 --> 00:45:26,400
where God willing to be lived on
Mission.

651
00:45:26,400 --> 00:45:29,800
He took action even though he
would have been defeated in a

652
00:45:29,800 --> 00:45:33,300
threats and he was a tent maker.
But here's a visually cool, he

653
00:45:33,300 --> 00:45:36,200
had a plan, I think about Paul,
I chanted plan, he had a

654
00:45:36,207 --> 00:45:38,600
strategy, he knew what he's
trying to do.

655
00:45:38,600 --> 00:45:41,000
There's a reason that Paul was
trying to get two kings and

656
00:45:41,000 --> 00:45:44,300
leaders and governors, it wasn't
an accident like that was his

657
00:45:44,300 --> 00:45:46,800
mission.
And look at the Romans 15 23,

658
00:45:46,800 --> 00:45:49,500
says this, since I, this is
being Paul have been longing for

659
00:45:49,500 --> 00:45:55,600
many years to visit you.
I what, how about I, I plan to

660
00:45:55,600 --> 00:45:57,500
biblical precedents, have a
plan, come on, somebody.

661
00:45:58,600 --> 00:46:01,600
He had a plan, like, in his mind
and his heart out.

662
00:46:01,700 --> 00:46:03,600
I think had a business plan.
Come on somebody, I think it

663
00:46:03,600 --> 00:46:05,800
shows less thing out of stone to
carry around on the parchment or

664
00:46:05,800 --> 00:46:09,100
something, but he had a plan,
hit a plane to go visit these

665
00:46:09,100 --> 00:46:12,200
people in Rome when he's going
to go to Spain, who knows that,

666
00:46:12,300 --> 00:46:14,000
you know, Paul's going to go to
state.

667
00:46:14,100 --> 00:46:14,900
Maybe there's news for you
today.

668
00:46:14,900 --> 00:46:17,200
But Paul tried to read the
gospel around the world.

669
00:46:17,900 --> 00:46:20,100
I love about the Bible, she can
find every place in the Bible.

670
00:46:20,400 --> 00:46:23,000
Come on somebody, there's a lot
of religious books, you can't

671
00:46:23,000 --> 00:46:26,900
find him place in Saint Paul, is
that your Spanos was right about

672
00:46:27,000 --> 00:46:28,700
and Paul is to bring the gospel
to Spain.

673
00:46:28,900 --> 00:46:32,200
He says I hope to see you while
passing through and after me on

674
00:46:32,200 --> 00:46:34,700
my journey there and after I've
enjoyed your company for a

675
00:46:34,707 --> 00:46:38,000
while, we had to go ahead and
plant had a passion for the

676
00:46:38,000 --> 00:46:41,600
things of God his strategy in
place like his goal was to go

677
00:46:41,600 --> 00:46:43,600
around here.
You talk about north side of the

678
00:46:43,700 --> 00:46:45,800
Mediterranean Sea and bring the
gospel to the Gentiles because

679
00:46:45,800 --> 00:46:48,100
that's what was called.
You try to go to Asia and he's

680
00:46:48,100 --> 00:46:50,900
getting dragged around by the
Holy Spirit and he's just making

681
00:46:50,900 --> 00:46:54,600
his way over to Spain to share
the good news of the gospel.

682
00:46:55,200 --> 00:46:57,900
And you really tradition says he
made to Spain.

683
00:46:58,700 --> 00:47:04,200
He would probably stood before
Those Spain, They seized a Spain

684
00:47:04,200 --> 00:47:05,800
and shared the good news.
Amen.

685
00:47:06,300 --> 00:47:08,400
I mean 14, Paul.
The gospel may not have made it

686
00:47:08,400 --> 00:47:13,300
so quickly to our corner of the
world is when you think about

687
00:47:13,300 --> 00:47:16,600
2023 and you think about the
spirit of God talking to your

688
00:47:16,607 --> 00:47:19,600
life, I'm just going to tell you
it has to revolve around Souls.

689
00:47:20,700 --> 00:47:23,600
It has to like the goal for your
year.

690
00:47:23,600 --> 00:47:26,800
You have to have some kind of
spiritual drive to see lost

691
00:47:26,800 --> 00:47:27,800
people found.
Amen.

692
00:47:28,600 --> 00:47:30,700
But I don't want to get into
like goal setting and I don't

693
00:47:30,700 --> 00:47:32,300
want get into.
I think you should have goals.

694
00:47:32,300 --> 00:47:34,200
I think she write your goals and
I think she's a direct your life

695
00:47:34,200 --> 00:47:35,700
and I think they're really
important but I think there's

696
00:47:35,700 --> 00:47:37,700
something much deeper because
when you get something hard in

697
00:47:37,700 --> 00:47:39,600
your life you're going to cool
in that goal.

698
00:47:40,400 --> 00:47:44,000
Will you get Shipwrecked gonna
quit in the goal when he thereby

699
00:47:44,000 --> 00:47:46,000
snake swamp?
All right.

700
00:47:46,200 --> 00:47:47,800
You couldn't have thrown your
flesh.

701
00:47:48,400 --> 00:47:49,900
Why God Quinn?
The goal.

702
00:47:50,000 --> 00:47:52,700
So I want to back up a step.
I was type of spiritual passion.

703
00:47:53,500 --> 00:47:56,000
It's All About the Passion to
follow through with the things

704
00:47:56,000 --> 00:47:58,700
of God in your life.
You be real practical step if

705
00:47:58,700 --> 00:48:00,800
you're looking through like what
is God calling you do?

706
00:48:01,500 --> 00:48:04,400
How do I reach people?
I think about the heart of Paul

707
00:48:04,600 --> 00:48:07,000
in and you tell us spiritual
passion, I'll give you a one

708
00:48:07,000 --> 00:48:09,600
tool, just one resource.
I've had a really Define your

709
00:48:09,600 --> 00:48:11,600
spiritual passion and keep you
motivated.

710
00:48:11,600 --> 00:48:14,500
This year to really go out there
and set the goals and pursue the

711
00:48:14,500 --> 00:48:16,600
things of God and bring up
Jesus.

712
00:48:16,900 --> 00:48:20,700
And not be ashamed of inviting
people to church and witnessing

713
00:48:20,700 --> 00:48:22,900
and be an evangelist.
And I mean, so many guys are

714
00:48:22,900 --> 00:48:24,700
freaking out right now.
Like oh man, supposed to bring

715
00:48:24,700 --> 00:48:26,200
somebody in his cards on the
seat.

716
00:48:26,600 --> 00:48:28,100
By the way, those aren't like
recycled.

717
00:48:28,100 --> 00:48:31,800
Come on somebody.
Want you to use those.

718
00:48:31,800 --> 00:48:34,900
Amen.
And something like, I can't, I

719
00:48:34,908 --> 00:48:37,000
just can't let you off the hook
and it's not you, that does it.

720
00:48:37,600 --> 00:48:39,500
I mean, even as a preacher.
I mean, some of your money this

721
00:48:39,500 --> 00:48:41,000
week is the foolishness of
preaching.

722
00:48:41,000 --> 00:48:44,300
Amen.
Like what I do is nothing, I'm

723
00:48:44,300 --> 00:48:47,300
just a fool for Jesus, but the
Holy Spirit does something.

724
00:48:47,300 --> 00:48:49,300
Amen.
And it is a cycle.

725
00:48:49,300 --> 00:48:51,400
You have to understand if you're
going to be a good at falling.

726
00:48:51,400 --> 00:48:54,900
God, it's just not about you.
It's not about your effort or

727
00:48:54,900 --> 00:48:56,800
you're not ever about your work
or good.

728
00:48:56,800 --> 00:48:59,300
You are as nothing about you,
you're just an instrument in the

729
00:48:59,300 --> 00:49:00,200
hand of God.
Amen.

730
00:49:00,900 --> 00:49:04,100
Here's the vessel, it is emptied
out and then God uses you.

731
00:49:04,200 --> 00:49:06,100
And the way it works is really
simple to holy spirit, moves in

732
00:49:06,100 --> 00:49:09,300
your life and then you Proclaim
and the holy spirit moves.

733
00:49:09,300 --> 00:49:12,200
I've else's life, get that cycle
in your head.

734
00:49:12,400 --> 00:49:14,500
So before you turn me off and
say I can't invite somebody

735
00:49:14,500 --> 00:49:17,200
because fill in the blank, I was
gonna let you off the hook that

736
00:49:17,200 --> 00:49:20,600
God does the work a man the Holy
Spirit you just do this give

737
00:49:20,600 --> 00:49:22,800
room and you move on.
If they don't like you there's a

738
00:49:22,800 --> 00:49:24,900
problem doesn't matter like just
point people to Jesus.

739
00:49:24,900 --> 00:49:27,000
Amen.
If we get past herself, you

740
00:49:27,000 --> 00:49:29,500
release the beginning of God.
And so encouraged to let the

741
00:49:29,500 --> 00:49:32,500
Holy Spirit move and As listen
in and follow his spirit in

742
00:49:32,508 --> 00:49:34,600
this, when we talk about
spiritual passion drive, you can

743
00:49:34,600 --> 00:49:36,700
have to get dig deep on this.
You have to really understand

744
00:49:36,700 --> 00:49:38,600
your own heart and your own
motivation.

745
00:49:38,700 --> 00:49:40,700
That's only give you what I will
call the love-hate list come

746
00:49:40,700 --> 00:49:45,100
also like you passion passion,
evokes both emotion passion of

747
00:49:45,100 --> 00:49:47,600
all the things, you love and
follows things you hate.

748
00:49:48,000 --> 00:49:50,500
And so if you just make the list
like there's a call God your

749
00:49:50,500 --> 00:49:52,800
life the called gone Paul's
life, don't you think about

750
00:49:52,800 --> 00:49:54,800
Paul?
It is Mission to really reach

751
00:49:54,800 --> 00:49:57,400
the Nations and kings and he
followed through.

752
00:49:57,500 --> 00:49:59,800
There's some things you have to
list out what Leslie love.

753
00:50:00,400 --> 00:50:02,100
I mean, Same things.
We love right.

754
00:50:02,400 --> 00:50:04,800
He would love to see lost people
found.

755
00:50:04,800 --> 00:50:08,000
Amen.
He loved to see Nations.

756
00:50:08,100 --> 00:50:09,800
Who would never know about God?
No.

757
00:50:09,800 --> 00:50:12,000
Because the gospel is
proclaimed.

758
00:50:12,300 --> 00:50:15,000
It was always through him.
It was through others, that he

759
00:50:15,000 --> 00:50:18,800
grew and said he would love to
see people.

760
00:50:19,100 --> 00:50:21,000
We've broken free from the
chains of sin.

761
00:50:21,900 --> 00:50:24,300
He would love find people find
their purpose in Jesus.

762
00:50:24,600 --> 00:50:28,500
Paul love to develop leaders and
send them out, but also some

763
00:50:28,500 --> 00:50:30,400
things that Paul would
absolutely hate.

764
00:50:31,200 --> 00:50:34,800
He would hate for a nation to go
without the gospel.

765
00:50:35,700 --> 00:50:38,100
You hate for a group of people
not to know Jesus.

766
00:50:38,700 --> 00:50:41,100
I mean, you would have driven
him that he would hate for a

767
00:50:41,107 --> 00:50:44,500
king, not ever heard the gospel
and this boy was prolific at

768
00:50:44,500 --> 00:50:47,500
getting in front of Kings
because Jesus had called him to

769
00:50:47,500 --> 00:50:48,900
do.
That was his mission.

770
00:50:49,400 --> 00:50:52,200
I think about what we love or as
Christians, we should love and

771
00:50:52,400 --> 00:50:54,700
and what we should hate.
I think about a really Lovelace

772
00:50:54,700 --> 00:50:58,100
like we should love for lost
people to come home.

773
00:50:58,100 --> 00:51:00,700
Amen.
I mean, we love us so much we

774
00:51:00,700 --> 00:51:06,300
endure really messy people.
The do point, but it's not us.

775
00:51:06,300 --> 00:51:08,400
Right?
We're all messed up, but the

776
00:51:08,408 --> 00:51:12,600
reality is this we go out of our
way to bring people to Jesus.

777
00:51:12,900 --> 00:51:16,300
It should your whole schedule
should be shifted around gospel

778
00:51:16,300 --> 00:51:17,200
moments.
Amen.

779
00:51:17,700 --> 00:51:19,400
You should be picking people out
and your life.

780
00:51:19,400 --> 00:51:21,400
That's like, ah, man.
I gotta go the gospel of them.

781
00:51:22,200 --> 00:51:24,700
You don't think about like, how
many people are blocks, have we

782
00:51:24,700 --> 00:51:27,000
shared the good news of Jesus,
with highly?

783
00:51:27,000 --> 00:51:29,100
People are blocks to be prayed
for that know, Jesus.

784
00:51:29,200 --> 00:51:32,300
How many people are blocks have
been invited to our church?

785
00:51:32,400 --> 00:51:34,500
How many On our blocks, you
invited to take a seat for their

786
00:51:34,500 --> 00:51:37,400
knees, under a table, for the
name of Jesus and for his glory,

787
00:51:37,900 --> 00:51:40,600
amen, you find.
No other reason.

788
00:51:40,600 --> 00:51:45,100
But that this is why we exist we
love to see people find their

789
00:51:45,100 --> 00:51:48,300
purpose and Jesus led to
populate Heaven, little people

790
00:51:48,300 --> 00:51:51,900
get baptized and a life is
changed when people are broken

791
00:51:51,900 --> 00:51:55,000
free from shame and sin and our
life.

792
00:51:55,000 --> 00:51:58,400
But you know, we hate when
prodigals can't find their way

793
00:51:58,400 --> 00:52:01,700
home or bigger yet.
Would prodigals aren't welcomed

794
00:52:01,700 --> 00:52:04,300
home.
When they show up and people are

795
00:52:04,300 --> 00:52:07,400
judgmental and they say I've my
Pew, you know, and they feel

796
00:52:07,400 --> 00:52:09,200
like they're just not loved and
cared for.

797
00:52:09,200 --> 00:52:10,500
Do we hate that?
Amen.

798
00:52:11,400 --> 00:52:13,100
We don't put her nose up at the
world.

799
00:52:13,200 --> 00:52:15,000
People have a problem they like
will pray for a loss but then

800
00:52:15,000 --> 00:52:17,400
they start coming and it's like
a they're messy.

801
00:52:18,600 --> 00:52:20,600
Do we have a problem?
All sudden, you know, it's like

802
00:52:20,607 --> 00:52:23,300
dude that we love people, right?
We hate it.

803
00:52:23,300 --> 00:52:27,200
When lost people stay lost, we
hated when we lose ground to

804
00:52:27,200 --> 00:52:31,500
division in the church, we hate
it when Satan takes Glory.

805
00:52:32,000 --> 00:52:35,600
Hey It drives us, right?
And so the question I have for

806
00:52:35,600 --> 00:52:40,900
you is this it is really simple.
Are you willing to reignite your

807
00:52:40,900 --> 00:52:43,000
spiritual passion before you
even answer?

808
00:52:43,000 --> 00:52:45,100
I would encourage you the story
and give you a verse on bad hair

809
00:52:45,100 --> 00:52:48,100
day and its really something
bigger happening.

810
00:52:48,100 --> 00:52:49,300
Then you probably beat your own
eye.

811
00:52:49,700 --> 00:52:52,000
I came across the story this
last week and I thought was so

812
00:52:52,000 --> 00:52:53,600
powerful.
There's this man, took his

813
00:52:53,600 --> 00:52:56,000
family to Disney World and he
had two little kids.

814
00:52:56,000 --> 00:52:57,000
That's why I've save us
pregnant.

815
00:52:57,000 --> 00:52:59,300
And they got only, it's like,
calm a quad bike, or something?

816
00:52:59,300 --> 00:53:01,000
Weird, I don't know.
They are, if you've been to have

817
00:53:01,000 --> 00:53:02,700
Cod these bikes apparently go
around this.

818
00:53:03,700 --> 00:53:05,000
The doors kind of paddle in the
kids are.

819
00:53:05,700 --> 00:53:07,800
All right.
And anyway, there's a couple

820
00:53:07,800 --> 00:53:10,500
little Hills and these guys
aren't in shape and he does it

821
00:53:10,500 --> 00:53:12,200
right but they're doing good you
know.

822
00:53:12,300 --> 00:53:14,200
But it gets to the end is a
little increased its kind of

823
00:53:14,200 --> 00:53:16,700
long it can get steeper and it
really happen as parents you

824
00:53:16,700 --> 00:53:18,200
know you know how it is.
You just dragging the kids

825
00:53:18,200 --> 00:53:19,500
around.
It's like for the glory of God

826
00:53:19,500 --> 00:53:20,200
my kids.
Amen.

827
00:53:20,200 --> 00:53:21,500
Right.
And they get to the end, it's

828
00:53:21,500 --> 00:53:24,200
like thank God, we turn this in.
Well, the kids are screaming in

829
00:53:24,207 --> 00:53:26,300
the basket, you know, no dogon
Daddy.

830
00:53:26,300 --> 00:53:29,700
Go around kiss talk as adults in
the dumbest things you know,

831
00:53:29,900 --> 00:53:32,400
look like fools dancing around
the rims, get those pictures on

832
00:53:32,400 --> 00:53:34,100
the Maritza put his kids doing
that.

833
00:53:34,200 --> 00:53:36,000
And so, there's dad's, like
okay, okay, well, we'll get

834
00:53:36,000 --> 00:53:38,200
he'll go again and so they go
around, they get that last

835
00:53:38,200 --> 00:53:40,500
little section and all of a
sudden it's like, these guys are

836
00:53:40,508 --> 00:53:41,500
going to make up the hill,
right?

837
00:53:41,500 --> 00:53:43,500
This guy's like, penile strength
is energy.

838
00:53:43,500 --> 00:53:45,700
He's sweating and his wife's
like man.

839
00:53:45,700 --> 00:53:48,100
I'm not any value.
Like I'm eight months pregnant

840
00:53:48,100 --> 00:53:49,200
like I'm just gonna go off the
bike.

841
00:53:49,200 --> 00:53:51,100
That's okay.
And he wasn't like, oh no,

842
00:53:51,100 --> 00:53:52,200

I got, he's like, get off the

843
00:53:52,200 --> 00:53:54,100

And so she gets off the bike and

844
00:53:54,100 --> 00:53:56,000
he's pillow, pillow pillow, and
all of a sudden just because the

845
00:53:56,000 --> 00:53:58,300

846
00:53:58,300 --> 00:54:00,500

of pass on the side.

847
00:54:00,500 --> 00:54:02,700
He's like dude just got this

848
00:54:02,900 --> 00:54:04,800
She liked Rudy's our spell as
hard as you can.

849
00:54:05,000 --> 00:54:07,100
He gets off the top of the hill.
It looks back to like kind of

850
00:54:07,100 --> 00:54:08,700
boasts himself, looking good.

851
00:54:08,700 --> 00:54:11,900
It turns around he finds out.
His wife is pushing the bike up

852
00:54:11,900 --> 00:54:14,500
the hill.
Come on somebody right.

853
00:54:14,600 --> 00:54:16,900
And y'all been there and he says

854
00:54:16,900 --> 00:54:19,200

855
00:54:19,200 --> 00:54:22,300
Why is that my dad pregnant lady

857
00:54:25,300 --> 00:54:29,200
today the reality is this is
that there's somebody behind.

858
00:54:29,200 --> 00:54:31,100
You pushing you up the hill.
Amen.

859
00:54:31,800 --> 00:54:33,800
There's a strength bigger.
Than yourself.

860
00:54:34,200 --> 00:54:35,600
God is with you.
Amen.

861
00:54:36,200 --> 00:54:39,100
He is with you, he's strengthen
you, if it's a promise of God

862
00:54:39,100 --> 00:54:42,300
who will be with us, always into
the other and you get to the end

863
00:54:42,300 --> 00:54:46,200
of Paul's life and when he
letter, I mean, just a life on

864
00:54:46,200 --> 00:54:49,300
Mission and he just goes out
like a star.

865
00:54:49,800 --> 00:54:53,100
I mean, just knowing it's his
time, he wraps up puts a bow on

866
00:54:53,100 --> 00:54:55,100
top, you got, you got you got
the verse right?

867
00:54:55,400 --> 00:54:58,300
I mean, my father good fight.
Come on somebody.

868
00:54:58,500 --> 00:55:02,700
I finished the course.
I mean this is Paul right Andy.

869
00:55:02,800 --> 00:55:06,000
Gets the end is really second.
Timothy is his last book, you

870
00:55:06,000 --> 00:55:08,500
last thing you wrote but me that
we have in the Bible but it's

871
00:55:08,500 --> 00:55:09,600
real.
It's time to sign off.

872
00:55:10,200 --> 00:55:12,600
So this is it and he gets the
very end in this way.

873
00:55:12,600 --> 00:55:15,300
He says last the last couple of
verses it's found in second

874
00:55:15,400 --> 00:55:19,800
Timothy last two verses, he
said, but the Lord stood by me

875
00:55:20,400 --> 00:55:24,100
and strengthened me, Amen, in
the race Iran.

876
00:55:24,100 --> 00:55:25,000
Will it called God?
What?

877
00:55:25,000 --> 00:55:27,800
He was the one, he was the power
force, he was on ignited, my

878
00:55:27,800 --> 00:55:30,100
flaming kept me moving forward,
so that threw me.

879
00:55:30,100 --> 00:55:32,600
The message would be fully for
claims.

880
00:55:32,800 --> 00:55:35,900
So all the Gentiles to hear,
amen.

881
00:55:36,500 --> 00:55:38,600
I mean, God got the glory.
It was all because of him, and

882
00:55:38,600 --> 00:55:41,200
when those prison cells, it was
because of him who was hard

883
00:55:41,200 --> 00:55:42,800
work.
But I did it the name of Jesus

884
00:55:42,800 --> 00:55:45,600
and he was with me is behind me.
And so I was delivered from the

885
00:55:45,600 --> 00:55:46,900
lion's mouth.
Amen.

886
00:55:47,400 --> 00:55:49,100
I mean, the world Ain't Gonna
Last Laugh.

887
00:55:49,500 --> 00:55:52,700
The Lord, the world are the Lord
will deliver me from every evil

888
00:55:52,700 --> 00:55:54,500
deed.
It will bring me safely into his

889
00:55:54,500 --> 00:55:58,600
Heavenly Kingdom to him.
Be the glory forever and ever.

890
00:55:59,200 --> 00:56:03,600
Amen.
And Paul signs off So this is my

891
00:56:03,600 --> 00:56:09,200
why it didn't look like.
We want to put an idol and said,

892
00:56:09,200 --> 00:56:11,400
that's the life I live, but it
was on mission for Jesus.

893
00:56:11,400 --> 00:56:13,500
Amen.
And that's what were called to

894
00:56:13,500 --> 00:56:18,000
be men and women of the Gospel.
So I was 10, where's your

895
00:56:18,000 --> 00:56:21,400
spiritual passion?
23, like what's going to keep

896
00:56:21,400 --> 00:56:25,100
you in that seat watching TV all
day long, like what's, what's

897
00:56:25,100 --> 00:56:26,400
going to?
But could hold you back when you

898
00:56:26,408 --> 00:56:27,900
got the good news of Jesus.
Amen.

899
00:56:28,700 --> 00:56:31,800
And so he's got to get up and
make that list and I took that

900
00:56:31,800 --> 00:56:33,000
list and I've got on my mind.
Mirror.

901
00:56:33,000 --> 00:56:37,000
And I got my phone and this is
why I get up early and this is

902
00:56:37,000 --> 00:56:39,700
why he stable eighth.
This why work endless hours?

903
00:56:39,700 --> 00:56:42,800
The Hope Center and this is why
we set up and tear down.

904
00:56:43,000 --> 00:56:46,200
And this is why I invite people
who knows awkward, and I'm off

905
00:56:46,200 --> 00:56:49,200
the gospel out sometimes, but
this is why amen.

906
00:56:49,900 --> 00:56:51,900
And as believe in the church, if
we just put that in our heart,

907
00:56:51,900 --> 00:56:54,700
man, the the force of the Gospel
is Unstoppable.

908
00:56:55,700 --> 00:56:58,100
It is believed that God willing
to reach people.

909
00:56:58,200 --> 00:57:00,500
Amen.
And that's our purpose in this

910
00:57:00,500 --> 00:57:01,900
year, but you cannot marry the
two.

911
00:57:01,900 --> 00:57:05,300
And so, as you look, Like forget
the goal like that may change a

912
00:57:05,308 --> 00:57:06,400
little bit.
I think you should write them

913
00:57:06,400 --> 00:57:10,800
out but look at your passion and
that like develop a goal,

914
00:57:11,200 --> 00:57:13,600
develop a direction.
And at the end of the year, I

915
00:57:13,600 --> 00:57:14,900
just know, like may be faithful
to God.

916
00:57:14,900 --> 00:57:16,000
Who knows regret take this
church?

917
00:57:16,000 --> 00:57:19,500
Amen, I mean, we're seeing take
your block or your family, or

918
00:57:19,500 --> 00:57:24,000
realistically, just you change.
You God we come before you.

919
00:57:24,800 --> 00:57:27,000
I got I pray that our church
will be full of spiritual

920
00:57:27,000 --> 00:57:29,400
passion.
Thanks for the example of Paul.

921
00:57:29,600 --> 00:57:32,400
He wasn't perfect o Wretched,
Man that I am, who delivered me

922
00:57:32,400 --> 00:57:36,800
from the This body of death, but
he recognized, there's power in

923
00:57:36,800 --> 00:57:39,100
the spirit of God and the power
of God was behind him and

924
00:57:39,100 --> 00:57:41,400
strengthened him all along his
journey and I pray that to be

925
00:57:41,400 --> 00:57:44,900
our story.
Then we sign off, we sign off

926
00:57:44,900 --> 00:57:48,600
like that, give him the glory,
to Jesus living a life for him,

927
00:57:48,800 --> 00:57:52,300
bringing it pointing Kings and
Nations to you.

928
00:57:52,700 --> 00:57:55,300
I'm pray for our church today

929
00:57:55,300 --> 00:57:57,800

IMA have this.

930
00:57:57,800 --> 00:58:01,100

serious about God and we passed

We please, you can help us to

937
00:58:18,300 --> 00:58:21,900
make a love-hate less of our
passion because we never forget

938
00:58:21,900 --> 00:58:26,800
the cross, the pivot, life verse
that we leave live on Mission.

939
00:58:27,000 --> 00:58:28,900
It would drive us every day of
Our Lives.

00:59:15,400 --> 00:59:17,200
pray this prayer.
It's not the prayer that saves.

955
00:59:17,200 --> 00:59:21,800
You just your heart towards God.
Say thank you, Jesus for coming

956
00:59:21,800 --> 00:59:23,600
for a man.
Like me got.

957
00:59:23,600 --> 00:59:27,400
Things are down across my sins.
At taking the nails, taking my

958
00:59:27,400 --> 00:59:31,300
payment and making me hold and
gods are in my life to you.

959
00:59:31,300 --> 00:59:33,900
God give me around some passion
and sealed.

960
00:59:34,000 --> 00:59:37,400
I share you today is my day one,
the faith.

961
00:59:38,300 --> 00:59:42,100
Nothing to proclaim the gospel
today to a lost and dying world.

962
00:59:43,200 --> 00:59:44,500
Amen.
Come on.

963
00:59:44,500 --> 00:59:45,600
Give it up for the things of
God.

964
00:59:45,600 --> 00:59:46,300
Come on.
Lemnos here.

965
00:59:46,300 --> 00:59:48,000
Some passion and your clap
today.

966
00:59:48,000 --> 00:59:51,200
Come on.
Amen.

967
00:59:51,400 --> 00:59:53,500
Well that's you today.
And you say, you know what my

968
00:59:53,500 --> 00:59:56,500
breakout year starts?
When I say yes to Jesus, we are

969
00:59:56,500 --> 00:59:59,000
so excited for you.
We have some resources.

970
00:59:59,000 --> 01:00:01,400
We'd love to connect with you.
You can take out your phone and

971
01:00:01,400 --> 01:00:04,500
text RL.
Next like, your next step to

972
01:00:04,500 --> 01:00:08,200
97,000 that's going to connect
you with our websites and

973
01:00:08,200 --> 01:00:10,700
resources to follow Jesus.
And maybe this morning even

974
01:00:10,700 --> 01:00:12,900
you're like you know what, I
don't know about this whole God,

975
01:00:12,900 --> 01:00:15,900
Jesus thing texted anyway, take
you to our website, we would

976
01:00:15,900 --> 01:00:19,800
love to help you meet Jesus, who
has changed our lives in such

977
01:00:19,800 --> 01:00:21,200
amazing.
He's, and if you're joining us

978
01:00:21,200 --> 01:00:24,000
here in person at Kentucky
Trail, we actually have some red

979
01:00:24,000 --> 01:00:25,600
bags in the back that you can
grab.

980
01:00:25,600 --> 01:00:29,400
It's got a free Bible, just a
little word from us to help, get

981
01:00:29,400 --> 01:00:31,700
you encouraged and started on
your journey with Jesus.

982
01:00:31,700 --> 01:00:35,800
And I know that man, the Journey
of a Thousand Steps starts with

983
01:00:35,800 --> 01:00:37,500
four thousand miles starts with
one step.

984
01:00:37,500 --> 01:00:40,500
And so, this could be your step
today to have an amazing year.

985
01:00:40,800 --> 01:00:42,700
And for all of us have a few
next steps.

986
01:00:42,700 --> 01:00:45,900
Mean we are pumped to be back
meeting together at Kentucky

987
01:00:45,900 --> 01:00:49,300
Trail, and it was so much fun to
connect online last week, but we

988
01:00:49,300 --> 01:00:51,700
have a big year.
And a lot of big goals and

989
01:00:51,700 --> 01:00:53,900
dreams and vision that God has
given us.

990
01:00:53,900 --> 01:00:57,300
And it starts, it starts with
just like Sean talked about

991
01:00:57,300 --> 01:01:00,800
having that passion in your year
to reach people, that's why real

992
01:01:00,800 --> 01:01:02,700
life exists.
And that's why we're here and

993
01:01:02,700 --> 01:01:05,500
that's why we do what we do.
And so, it starts with all of

994
01:01:05,500 --> 01:01:06,800
us.
And so, I have a next step for

995
01:01:06,800 --> 01:01:10,200
you have Sean mentioned, these
cards that are sitting on your

996
01:01:10,200 --> 01:01:11,900
chair.
And I know if you know this, but

997
01:01:11,900 --> 01:01:16,100
I was the product of a church
invite when I was a teenager, my

998
01:01:16,100 --> 01:01:18,100
group of friends, then invited
Shawn to church.

999
01:01:18,100 --> 01:01:21,100
And so, it's cool to look back
and think about you, Know, the

1000
01:01:21,100 --> 01:01:23,800
impact you're going to make with
a simple invite of inviting.

1001
01:01:23,800 --> 01:01:27,100
Someone to Jesus, maybe step of
inviting them to church so they

1002
01:01:27,100 --> 01:01:29,800
can meet him here.
You don't know what God is going

1003
01:01:29,800 --> 01:01:32,400
to do in someone's life.
And so let me be the first to

1004
01:01:32,408 --> 01:01:35,700
encourage you to take these with
you pass them out to the

1005
01:01:35,700 --> 01:01:37,100
Barista.
When you're going through the

1006
01:01:37,100 --> 01:01:40,600
drive-thru line talk with people
hand them out to your neighbors.

1007
01:01:40,600 --> 01:01:44,100
We have so much in store for
them and when your life has been

1008
01:01:44,100 --> 01:01:46,600
changed by Jesus, you want
nothing more than to share that

1009
01:01:46,600 --> 01:01:49,300
with others.
And so let it be part of your

1010
01:01:49,300 --> 01:01:52,000
new normal.
All this year to be an inviter

1011
01:01:52,000 --> 01:01:55,300
and not just an invite her, but
we call these bring visitation.

1012
01:01:55,300 --> 01:01:57,100
So don't just invite but bring
them along with you.

1013
01:01:57,100 --> 01:01:59,400
Save them a seat but do take
these.

1014
01:01:59,400 --> 01:02:02,600
We have tons of them and they
are your tool to be able to

1015
01:02:02,600 --> 01:02:04,700
invite people to church.
So they're here for you.

1016
01:02:04,700 --> 01:02:06,200
And we would love to equip you
to do that.

1017
01:02:06,500 --> 01:02:10,000
And speaking of your new normal,
maybe you've been hanging out

1018
01:02:10,000 --> 01:02:11,600
with us for a little while here
at real life.

1019
01:02:11,600 --> 01:02:13,800
Maybe you never made that stuff
to say.

1020
01:02:13,800 --> 01:02:15,500
You know what, I just don't know
what my next step is.

1021
01:02:15,500 --> 01:02:17,000
What I know God's got something
for me.

1022
01:02:17,200 --> 01:02:19,400
We are resuming our crash
course.

1023
01:02:19,400 --> 01:02:22,600
It's going to be On January
22nd, you can go to our website,

1024
01:02:22,600 --> 01:02:24,800
click events, all the details
are going to be on there about

1025
01:02:24,800 --> 01:02:27,200
where we're meeting.
It's going to be from two to

1026
01:02:27,200 --> 01:02:30,200
four Thirty next week, but I
know that God has something big

1027
01:02:30,200 --> 01:02:33,500
for your life, and I know that
God has passion and purpose to

1028
01:02:33,500 --> 01:02:35,300
you.
So, maybe after you write down

1029
01:02:35,300 --> 01:02:37,600
your list of, hey, what am I
passionate about?

1030
01:02:37,600 --> 01:02:39,800
God's going to spark something
inside of you and will ask you

1031
01:02:39,808 --> 01:02:42,700
that question to say, hey, would
you be willing to take those

1032
01:02:42,700 --> 01:02:45,900
gifts you have or that passion
you have and use them to spread

1033
01:02:45,900 --> 01:02:48,400
the gospel to our city.
That looks a lot of different

1034
01:02:48,400 --> 01:02:50,000
ways but we have a big dream to
see.

1035
01:02:50,200 --> 01:02:54,300
People grow and to see people
come to Jesus.

1036
01:02:54,300 --> 01:02:58,300
We want to see fully functioning
like worship teams in our youth

1037
01:02:58,300 --> 01:03:00,700
and our kids space.
We want to see our Hope Center

1038
01:03:00,700 --> 01:03:04,600
up and moving with care groups,
and Care Ministries and Outreach

1039
01:03:04,600 --> 01:03:07,100
to our city.
We want to see are Refreshments

1040
01:03:07,100 --> 01:03:09,600
Ministry out in the hub.
Serving people who come in the

1041
01:03:09,600 --> 01:03:12,800
door and every single team
across our church has Big Dreams

1042
01:03:12,800 --> 01:03:14,700
for this year to grow.
And so, we need your help.

1043
01:03:14,700 --> 01:03:16,900
So, if you've never been to
crash course, or maybe you've

1044
01:03:16,900 --> 01:03:19,500
been to crash course, and you
never fully took that step to

1045
01:03:19,500 --> 01:03:21,400
join the team.
I would love to connect with you

1046
01:03:21,600 --> 01:03:24,000
come out to crash course, meet,
with any of us have seen on

1047
01:03:24,000 --> 01:03:25,700
stage.
We would love to connect you

1048
01:03:25,900 --> 01:03:29,300
with your next step in that way.
And our last next step is this

1049
01:03:29,600 --> 01:03:33,000
is that you all are incredible.
We're looking at Drew shared so

1050
01:03:33,000 --> 01:03:36,500
many of those numbers about what
2022 was it real life.

1051
01:03:36,500 --> 01:03:41,000
But our generosity was up 28%
from 2021 last year.

1052
01:03:41,000 --> 01:03:43,600
And that's because of you all.
Because of the growth that we've

1053
01:03:43,600 --> 01:03:46,000
seen here as people growing
closer to God, taking a chance

1054
01:03:46,000 --> 01:03:47,700
of Fate to say, you know, a God,
I don't know what's going to

1055
01:03:47,707 --> 01:03:50,600
happen but I'm going to give it
so because of your Generosity,

1056
01:03:50,600 --> 01:03:53,500
we were able to finish the
construction phase of the Hope

1057
01:03:53,500 --> 01:03:55,600
Center.
Now, we get to move in and start

1058
01:03:55,600 --> 01:03:58,000
some of these Ministries and all
the things that there are

1059
01:03:58,000 --> 01:04:00,400
continued needs for.
And so if you're new with us

1060
01:04:00,400 --> 01:04:02,700
today, thank you for coming.
We don't want something from you

1061
01:04:02,700 --> 01:04:05,400
if we want something for you,
but if you call real life home

1062
01:04:05,400 --> 01:04:08,800
and you have never thought about
being a part of generosity, it's

1063
01:04:08,800 --> 01:04:10,300
really what makes this whole
thing go.

1064
01:04:10,300 --> 01:04:14,000
And so the last step of your new
normal would be making a

1065
01:04:14,000 --> 01:04:16,300
difference through generosity.
And so there's three ways that

1066
01:04:16,300 --> 01:04:18,100
you can do that.
You can go to Real Life Church

1067
01:04:18,100 --> 01:04:21,600
kc.com, you can click go.
You can text any amount of

1068
01:04:21,607 --> 01:04:24,400
eight, four, three, two, one.
Our website also has a give

1069
01:04:24,400 --> 01:04:27,000
button that you can click on
there to get connected to

1070
01:04:27,000 --> 01:04:30,300
generosity and our buckets are
going to pass here in just a

1071
01:04:30,300 --> 01:04:32,900
moment.
And as they do, if you or your

1072
01:04:32,900 --> 01:04:36,000
family or an immediate need of
food clothing or shelter, please

1073
01:04:36,000 --> 01:04:39,000
reach into those buckets, grab
any loose cash that you see, we

1074
01:04:39,000 --> 01:04:42,500
want to be a blessing to your
family in this time of need.

1075
01:04:42,500 --> 01:04:45,800
And then, lastly, Happy Spring
almost.

1076
01:04:45,800 --> 01:04:48,100
I wish it was spring, happy
winter, but life groups are

1077
01:04:48,100 --> 01:04:50,000
getting ready to launch.
So, check out this video.

1078
01:04:50,100 --> 01:05:03,300
A little more.
Last week you were challenged to

1079
01:05:03,300 --> 01:05:05,700
make gathering together.
With the people of God, an

1080
01:05:05,700 --> 01:05:10,100
important priority in 2023.
I've got an awesome opportunity

1081
01:05:10,100 --> 01:05:13,200
for you to do.
Just that like groups are

1082
01:05:13,200 --> 01:05:16,800
launching in a couple of weeks,
come on, get excited to hang out

1083
01:05:16,800 --> 01:05:20,100
with friends, make some new
friends and do life together.

1084
01:05:20,100 --> 01:05:23,800
This next semester, it's the
small things that make the

1085
01:05:23,800 --> 01:05:27,300
biggest difference and maybe
twenty twenty two things got in

1086
01:05:27,308 --> 01:05:31,900
the way of Joining a life may be
things like not enough time for

1087
01:05:31,900 --> 01:05:35,900
some guilt or fear or comparison
to hear me.

1088
01:05:35,900 --> 01:05:42,000
When I say that where you fall
short, Jesus shines make 2023 a

1089
01:05:42,000 --> 01:05:44,500
breakout year with some Keystone
habits.

1090
01:05:44,800 --> 01:05:47,500
One of, which could be joining a
life group.

1091
01:05:47,800 --> 01:05:50,100
This year, we are crying out to
God.

1092
01:05:50,200 --> 01:05:53,500
For souls to be changed
addictions to be broken

1093
01:05:53,600 --> 01:05:58,000
relationships to be restored and
people to be saved and sent.

1094
01:05:58,100 --> 01:06:01,800
Out, and all of these things
happen, through the context of

1095
01:06:01,800 --> 01:06:04,600
relationships.
You are opposed to the question

1096
01:06:04,600 --> 01:06:08,700
last week, who do you want to
become in the next six to 12

1097
01:06:08,700 --> 01:06:11,200
months?
Maybe that's a Godly mom or

1098
01:06:11,200 --> 01:06:15,800
wife, a bold witness for Jesus.
Maybe 2023 is the year you

1099
01:06:15,800 --> 01:06:19,700
become sober or clean or you
become financially free.

1100
01:06:19,900 --> 01:06:23,700
And hey, maybe it's to take a
step towards God this year to

1101
01:06:23,700 --> 01:06:26,300
becoming a true man or woman of
God.

1102
01:06:26,600 --> 01:06:30,400
And I know that God will Can use
life groups as a catalyst

1103
01:06:30,400 --> 01:06:33,700
towards your personal.
So, make attending a life group,

1104
01:06:33,700 --> 01:06:38,200
one of your habits of 2023, I am
certain that you won't regret

1105
01:06:38,200 --> 01:06:40,100
spending time with the people of
God.

1106
01:06:40,600 --> 01:06:43,600
If you're interested in leading
a life through this semester, or

1107
01:06:43,600 --> 01:06:46,800
maybe you're considering going
through our printing process, I

1108
01:06:46,800 --> 01:06:49,700
would love to meet you and talk
with you about what that would

1109
01:06:49,700 --> 01:06:51,700
look like.
