Miracle in the Making

1
00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:02,640
I thought you had to preach a
funeral there for a second.

2
00:00:04,480 --> 00:00:08,720
I'll do for free though, Barry.
It's all good, my friend. 5

3
00:00:08,720 --> 00:00:09,440
bucks.
I like that.

4
00:00:09,840 --> 00:00:11,840
I just got to know, guys, do you
believe in miracles?

5
00:00:12,640 --> 00:00:14,080
I mean, come on, somebody,
right?

6
00:00:14,080 --> 00:00:18,560
I mean, holy smokes, I go back
and forth like just the emotions

7
00:00:18,560 --> 00:00:20,960
are insane this week.
And I just listened to the

8
00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:24,640
worship team.
Just tears in my eyes for God's

9
00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:27,520
grace and his power and
provision.

10
00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:30,040
And we're going to walk through
just miracles a day.

11
00:00:30,440 --> 00:00:33,960
And I want to start just
recently, Easter Sunday.

12
00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:37,040
I mean, there were so many
miracles on Easter Sunday.

13
00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:39,480
This is incredible.
And you cannot get past this.

14
00:00:39,480 --> 00:00:42,360
Come on, somebody.
We had eight people start a

15
00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:44,840
relationship with Jesus on
Easter Sunday right here at Real

16
00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:46,040
Life Church.
Come on, dude.

17
00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:50,640
I can't think of a better way to
end a series in heaven than

18
00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:53,560
actually people getting there.
Amen.

19
00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:56,960
I mean This is why we exist.
I mean, there are souls that

20
00:00:56,960 --> 00:00:59,640
need Jesus and you can't have
Jesus by heaven have not Jesus,

21
00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:01,480
right?
And to actually put their faith

22
00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:03,360
and trust in Christ and it never
gets old to me.

23
00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:05,560
So I've never forgotten what
it's like to actually be that

24
00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:08,640
person that sat in that seat and
heard the gospel the first time

25
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:11,120
and just breaks my heart.
There was so many people need

26
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:13,880
Christ, but man so thankful that
God is using our church Amen.

27
00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:17,600
We had five people commit
recommit their life to Jesus and

28
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:19,280
I mean that's incredible as
well.

29
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:22,000
I mean you have people are like
recognizing I'm living my own

30
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:23,680
path.
I'm living less than God's best.

31
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:26,840
I'm wrapped up in a false
identity or false way of life

32
00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:29,400
and I'm just going all into
Jesus like a surrender moment.

33
00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:33,120
Absolutely amazing Amen.
So you have 13 people that came

34
00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:35,360
on Sunday that said I'm
drastically changing my through

35
00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:37,880
the power of Christ.
So I'll go to God Amen.

36
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:41,120
It's just can't give it up.
Man, just can't, cannot get past

37
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:42,800
that.
Just some highlights.

38
00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:45,600
It's, it's just incredible.
We had over 50 connection cards

39
00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:48,960
which represent over 100 people
that are new to our church so we

40
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:52,520
could connect with follow up,
love on, share the gospel, cheer

41
00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:56,080
them on.
We had 13 people baptized, Amen.

42
00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:58,520
Amazing.
I know you guys are back today.

43
00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:01,280
See a lot of you guys and some
of the people that came out.

44
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:03,960
Man, it was amazing to, to talk
to people.

45
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:05,440
By the way, I was praying for
her family.

46
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:07,680
You guys been praying for, for
Heather and their family.

47
00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:09,400
Well, guess who came out Easter
Sunday?

48
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:11,320
Heather and her family.
Amen.

49
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:15,360
So answer the prayer, right?
And I mean, so many stories, but

50
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:17,720
people came in that were coming
out of some church, heard in

51
00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:21,160
different situations and
literally in tears because of

52
00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:23,480
how welcomed and loved they felt
last week.

53
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:26,640
I mean, amazing.
Like they just felt it from you

54
00:02:26,640 --> 00:02:28,080
guys.
You guys became like the, the

55
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:31,800
whole hospitality welcoming team
and they could just feel it.

56
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:34,640
And there's cultures and
churches, you know, you can feel

57
00:02:34,640 --> 00:02:37,520
like, you know, the weight or
like the weight lifted off and

58
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:39,680
just to see that it's like, it's
just all glory to God.

59
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:42,280
But it's because God's using you
guys's grace and your, your,

60
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:45,400
your ability to love people.
So it's cool to see that.

61
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:47,040
And then we had families.
There's a whole Rd. that came

62
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:49,560
out or two.
There's a family of 23 people

63
00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:51,560
cheering something on getting
baptized.

64
00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:54,120
And the feedback was, but we
absolutely loved it and they

65
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:55,760
were excited to be preached from
the Bible.

66
00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:58,400
And I thought, man, that's kind
of sad, you know what I'm

67
00:02:58,400 --> 00:02:59,360
saying?
Like what church you've been

68
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:02,160
going to brother?
Like what else are they sharing?

69
00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:04,760
You know, but I was like, we'll
take it, man.

70
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:07,000
I just thank you Jesus right
from the word, Amen.

71
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:10,680
And there's families that came
out last week that hadn't been

72
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:12,800
in years and that came out to
your Sunday.

73
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:16,160
I just want to say thank you
guys for, for inviting, but also

74
00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:19,960
for caring people here to real
life church, caring people to

75
00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:21,520
Jesus.
We talked about that, that that

76
00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:24,480
paralyzed man that the four
friends brought and you guys did

77
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:24,840
it.
Amen.

78
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:27,360
I mean, you think about this.
We had 13 people playing your

79
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:30,280
visit that showed up and walked
around everything.

80
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:33,000
We had a record Sunday
attendance.

81
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:37,480
We we have never been in the six
hundreds and last week we were

82
00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:41,560
in the seven hundreds.
This is like, thank you, Jesus.

83
00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:45,120
Like we're skipping.
And it's been that way all year.

84
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:46,560
Honestly, it's been really
amazing.

85
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:49,280
Like if you look at last year to
year, like week to week, it's

86
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:52,880
been up 15 or 20%.
Easter was up 23% over last

87
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:54,560
Easter.
And that's all glory to God.

88
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:56,240
Amen.
So there's just miracles.

89
00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:57,720
I mean, just you guys and God
doing it.

90
00:03:57,720 --> 00:03:59,960
You know, we're just trying to
stay all the way and say God

91
00:03:59,960 --> 00:04:01,480
just move and just keep
preaching the word and be

92
00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:04,080
faithful to what he's doing.
So I also want to celebrate a

93
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:07,000
few things this last Saturday, I
guess that's yesterday.

94
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:13,960
It's been a long week.
Yesterday, wow, feels like I

95
00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:17,240
liked him ago.
We had real life men, did an

96
00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:19,040
amazing job serving our city so
well.

97
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:21,839
We had about 30 guys come out to
the Hope Center in the morning

98
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:23,520
and I'll show some of these
pictures.

99
00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:25,040
We broke into groups and went
out.

100
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:26,800
This is the group that went to
Hard In Hand.

101
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:29,520
There's some new guys have been
coming out here as well.

102
00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:32,280
Next picture.
They did some shelving in the

103
00:04:32,280 --> 00:04:34,080
the basement, some different
things in the building.

104
00:04:34,280 --> 00:04:36,640
Hard hands, an amazing ministry
in the city.

105
00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:38,360
Just giving back and caring for
people.

106
00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:40,400
Give it up for them.
By the way, come on, somebody,

107
00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:43,920
and there'll be more
opportunities with them.

108
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:46,760
Got a great chance to meet some
of the guys I didn't know there.

109
00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:49,240
They've some new leaders and
stuff and they have opportunity

110
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:50,920
there to serve.
And so we'll send people.

111
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:53,320
Amen.
And he's like, you guys got some

112
00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:54,440
trades.
I'm like, yeah, a little bit.

113
00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:56,320
A little bit.
Yeah, we can might do that, you

114
00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:59,320
know, next picture.
So here, here's another crew

115
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:00,880
going out.
Man, I love look at Rick.

116
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:03,160
Rick's the guy in all black.
Come on, somebody.

117
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:07,480
If you need somebody to take
somebody out, you know you're

118
00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:09,800
going to go to war.
That's your man, dude.

119
00:05:09,840 --> 00:05:11,600
High and tight.
He's got the hat on, but high

120
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:13,400
and tight.
Marine, Come on.

121
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:15,160
Semper Fi.
He's right.

122
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:16,120
He's back there.
It's real crazy.

123
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:19,480
Look at you, man.
You're like, we're like, man, we

124
00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:22,320

Just love it.

125
00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:25,040
All right, next picture.
Look at these guys.

126
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:27,240
So, yeah, there's two different
crews here.

127
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:30,640
We show up to a house and I'm
not going to name who it was,

128
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:33,920
but it's Patty Dizzell, and this
is her floor mat.

129
00:05:34,280 --> 00:05:35,520
Check this out.
Turn around.

130
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:38,320
Unless you bring brought wine.
Come on somebody.

131
00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:40,640
So I walked in.
I was like, hey, I brought the

132
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:42,880
wine.
Come on in, pastor.

133
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:46,280
Oh, it's like that's great.
That's the best floor mat.

134
00:05:46,280 --> 00:05:48,480
She's probably embarrassed I put
on there, but all right, next.

135
00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:51,480
So there's all sorts of stuff
the guys did.

136
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:53,520
I mean, and you may think, oh,
that's just small, just that

137
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:54,560
dude.
It means the world, the people

138
00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:56,640
you're serving.
There are people that we serve

139
00:05:56,640 --> 00:06:00,520
that just going through health
stuff, family stuff, you know,

140
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:02,680
somebody might want to call.
I know we have old school terms

141
00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:04,160
shut insurance like they can't
make it out.

142
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:06,960
And so I said, who can we serve?
Well, let's serve people in our

143
00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:08,560
community.
Give them back and people in our

144
00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:12,000
church that made you a hand up.
And the guys did fantastic.

145
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:13,880
And I only give a big shout out
to the guys came out.

146
00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:17,880
But also I don't know.
There he is Scott Jermaine.

147
00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:21,080
This was his heart, his passion
led the way put together.

148
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:23,680
So give it up for the the bald,
the beautiful right here.

149
00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:27,360
Scott Jermaine.
Yeah, fantastic team.

150
00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:29,880
So all glory to God, Amen.
And those are miracles in the

151
00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:32,240
making, right.
And then you you might have

152
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:35,960
heard about the Belden Cinema 8
May heard a little bit about

153
00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:41,480
that.
Oh man, that was it is like been

154
00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:44,280
flying a kite in the hurricane
of God's goods and grace.

155
00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:46,960
I mean, I've never been so
extended.

156
00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:50,760
Like what is happening?
You know, I'm usually I'm like

157
00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:53,560
the excel guy, you know, I'm
usually like, let's have this

158
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:55,840
planned out.
And it has been moving so

159
00:06:55,840 --> 00:06:59,320
quickly.
But between like conversations

160
00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:01,120
and contract, we're talking like
12 days.

161
00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:04,560
Like it is insane.
Like how God is sets up, we'll

162
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:07,240
talk about it, but I don't go
back all the way to how this

163
00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:09,400
started, right?
Like because I think God

164
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:10,720
doesn't.
I think God trying to bless

165
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:12,960
everybody, but I think the ones
who can take opportunity, the

166
00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:15,360
ones are ready for it.
The ones are looking for it.

167
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:17,400
We talk about this lot, right?
Seeing what everybody sees and

168
00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:19,280
do what no one does, like being
prepared.

169
00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:22,120
Well, we've been preparing for a
season and I'll go back like in

170
00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:26,160
time just a little bit to last
would have been I believe it

171
00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:29,240
have been October and we
launched a little series called

172
00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:32,040
Difference Maker and right
before that series, we actually

173
00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:33,240
did a series.
You guys remember the first

174
00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:39,600
series was on that good, huh?
I'll give you a hint, Mark 928.

175
00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:43,080
You'll remember when I say this.
And when he, Jesus had come into

176
00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:46,080
the house, his disciples asked
him probably, why could we not

177
00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:47,880
cast it out talking about a
demon?

178
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:51,240
And he said that then this kind
can come out by nothing but

179
00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:53,800
prayer.
And you guys remember that

180
00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:58,160
series we did, We did a whole
like section of time where every

181
00:07:58,160 --> 00:07:59,680
week we're like, man, we're
going to prayer and fast and

182
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:02,760
we're going to prayer and fast.
And that led the way.

183
00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:06,160
And it is just only certain
things that happen through

184
00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:07,960
prayer and fasting.
So if you talk about a miracle

185
00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:10,440
that happens, miracles are
always preceded by prayer and

186
00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:12,720
fasting.
Like every revival, every

187
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:16,000
awakening, everything of God's
move always comes because

188
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:18,600
somebody's on their knees and
it's somebody starving to death

189
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:21,280
for God's glory.
Somebody wants God more than

190
00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:23,120
anything else.
And we, we, we, I don't know if

191
00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:24,960
you remember that, but that
glory to God, Amen.

192
00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:27,640
Like there's something for your
soul that can only happen to

193
00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:30,680
parent fasting, that there,
there's identity there there's a

194
00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:32,679
confidence that there, there's a
boldness.

195
00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:36,600
We are outside of our league
because of Jesus, Amen?

196
00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:40,360
But why not, right?
Does he not own everything, does

197
00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:42,679
not control everything?
Like we, we need him.

198
00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:45,680
We just need our ability and my
talent and my whatever is he, he

199
00:08:45,680 --> 00:08:47,560
needs.
We just need to rely on him and

200
00:08:47,560 --> 00:08:49,360
his strength and his power.
And that's what fasting and

201
00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:51,160
prayer does.
And so does something your soul

202
00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:53,200
does something to your family.
We talked about that, but we

203
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:54,720
talked about it does something
for our church.

204
00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:57,560
And it's only through prayer and
fasting that revival happens,

205
00:08:57,720 --> 00:08:59,920
that God's power is there.
And we pray for this

206
00:08:59,920 --> 00:09:02,400
specifically, we prayed that God
would give us divine

207
00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:04,640
appointments and would give us
divine favor.

208
00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:07,800
You guys were praying for that.
God did it.

209
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:10,480
Amen.
He did it like there, there's no

210
00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:13,560
way that this deal comes
together because we had some

211
00:09:13,560 --> 00:09:15,920
kind of math and it just was
like going to work it.

212
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:18,640
It happened because God moved in
somebody's heart and God moved

213
00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:20,640
somebody else's heart.
And then this person was

214
00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:22,840
generous and this person brought
connection and this person

215
00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:25,640
helped out and all of a sudden
there's something happening

216
00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:27,440
that's only because Jesus can do
it.

217
00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:29,760
Amen.
Like, I feel like what is

218
00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:33,840
happening right now, God is
showing off because he's the

219
00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:36,200
only person that could ever get
the glory for what has just

220
00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:37,880
happened.
There's nobody else.

221
00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:41,640
Like he can't be like, man, that
that that board, that staff team

222
00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:44,000
or this like, dude, it's only
Jesus.

223
00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:46,520
Amen.
And so I think there's something

224
00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:48,000
a little different today.
I can feel it.

225
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:50,160
I can feel the connection, the
energy.

226
00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:52,480
I mean, there's pep in the step
put even putting the stairs on

227
00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:54,920
that Barry almost died on.
You know, people were excited,

228
00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:58,080
you know, Whoo, yeah, man.
And I started thinking as like,

229
00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:01,520
you know, in, in some ways, like
we've been counting, like how

230
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:03,680
far we've gone, like this is, I
don't know.

231
00:10:03,680 --> 00:10:05,080
You've been tracking how many
steps we've been doing.

232
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:08,000
You're OK.
Yeah, it's over 400, right?

233
00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:11,800
Like, so like we've pulled up
every two trailers for over 400

234
00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:13,760
plus times.
And I today I walked up and I

235
00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:18,320
thought this may be the
beginning of the end of pulling

236
00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:20,720
up a trailer.
Is that crazy to think about?

237
00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:22,720
Like you can like start counting
down.

238
00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:25,640
I'm like, oh, dude.
And I'm back here in the worst

239
00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:27,120
being started.
And it kind of hit me and I'm

240
00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:28,480
like, man, I just can't believe
it.

241
00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:31,800
You know, I'm just like absolute
shock, like crying back here,

242
00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:34,440
just like, dude, I'm, I'm lost,
you know, like I, I honestly

243
00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:37,080
don't know.
I'm so unprepared today for what

244
00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:38,600
God's doing.
And, and I think it's just

245
00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:39,400
amazing.
Amen.

246
00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:43,280
Just to be a part of the story.
And so we've been praying, you

247
00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:45,880
know, and we prayed for this.
We prayed to secure our first

248
00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:49,000
permanent space, secure our
first permanent space.

249
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:50,400
And there's been a lot of
different ideas.

250
00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:53,760
And I've honestly, I've looked
at probably every space in town.

251
00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:56,040
I've done a lot of been a lot of
things and seen a lot of things.

252
00:10:56,480 --> 00:10:58,200
I've looked at every space.
If you were to take a map and

253
00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:01,280
you're like laid out on the
floor and you said, Lord, if

254
00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:04,160
there's any building we could
have, you'd ask God for a

255
00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:05,600
building.
You would have asked God for the

256
00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:09,360
Belden SIM 8.
Like there is no other space

257
00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:12,480
that is a better space.
I mean, it's set up for

258
00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:15,200
assembly.
It's an icon in the city.

259
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:19,360
And God in his grace and mercy,
through divine favor and

260
00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:22,160
gracious of people, has allowed
us the opportunity to step into

261
00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:24,200
that space.
It's insane.

262
00:11:24,560 --> 00:11:28,880
I mean, God, glory to God, Amen.
And so if you're here today and

263
00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:30,360
you're like, what is this guy
talking about?

264
00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:33,240
Because maybe one person.
Is there anybody who did not

265
00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:36,520
know that this has happened yet?
Dude, right there.

266
00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:39,760
Come on.
Yes, Julian's like this, like

267
00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:46,000
the mom, the only one.
Well, I was going to replay the

268
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:47,560
video if you missed it.
So this is for Julian.

269
00:11:47,560 --> 00:11:50,680
So check it out.
Give it up for.

270
00:11:50,680 --> 00:11:56,480
Julian Real Life Church and I'm
so excited and humbled that I

271
00:11:56,480 --> 00:12:00,280
can officially announce that
we're under contract with Belden

272
00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:04,920
Cinema 8 Mitchell Theatre right
behind me.

273
00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:07,880
How incredible.
This place is an answer to

274
00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:10,080
prayer.
I've literally been praying for

275
00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:14,640
this space that our church could
be in it since 2016.

276
00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:18,000
If you're back, if you're on our
team, back.

277
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:20,680
Over my shoulder.
At the Hope Center and you guys

278
00:12:20,680 --> 00:12:24,640
been praying and fasting.
We sat in the room and we said,

279
00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:27,960
hey, one day man, you guys are
going to plant seeds and God's

280
00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:31,400
going to move.
Well, this is what God is

281
00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:33,640
growing.
How absolutely amazing this is

282
00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:36,480
25,000 square feet.
It's got 8 theaters.

283
00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:40,040
This place to do ministry and
expand and just be a light not

284
00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:41,960
just to our community but around
the world.

285
00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:45,760
You might ask why Mitchell
Theatre and this place really

286
00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:48,800
dropped in our lap.
We saw this theater post out

287
00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:51,400
that they were closing down in
August and then moving on from

288
00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:53,720
some development in town.
We thought, man, let's just

289
00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:55,520
reach out and see what God may
do.

290
00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:59,480
And by their graciousness and
God's grace through Brian

291
00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:03,040
Mitchell and Willie, their team,
they want to give us back to

292
00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:05,240
some of the community that's
giving back, that's serving,

293
00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:07,760
that's making a difference, and
can be a light and difference

294
00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:10,120
maker for years and decades to
come.

295
00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:14,480
And so God just made a move and
we're so grateful for these

296
00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:16,320
guys.
I want to give a shout to

297
00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:18,440
Willie, man.
He's been praying for God to use

298
00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:20,600
this theater as they were moving
out.

299
00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:22,400
And it's really answer their
prayer for him.

300
00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:24,400
It's also prayer for answer
prayer for us.

301
00:13:24,680 --> 00:13:26,760
And so we're super excited for
what God's going to do.

302
00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:31,000
You might ask what's next?
One, I would say celebrate,

303
00:13:31,560 --> 00:13:33,680
thank God's on the move.
This is like a Red Sea crossing

304
00:13:33,680 --> 00:13:35,880
for us.
I would just say celebrate

305
00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:38,360
taking the moment.
This is going to be historic for

306
00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:41,120
life, for a church and really
for the King of God moving

307
00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:44,800
forward.
Two, I would say pray there is

308
00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:47,080
still hurls across.
You've got inspections and due

309
00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:49,240
diligence.
Pray for divine favor.

310
00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:53,600
We got architects, designers,
engineers, you know, GC Subs,

311
00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:56,720
all the things, a lot of extra
work and energy on the team and

312
00:13:56,720 --> 00:14:00,960
just pray for wisdom, divine
favor, strength and just clarity

313
00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:03,560
and direction as we design and
lead in this space.

314
00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:08,200
And then last thing I'd say is
to be giving be a part of what

315
00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:10,040
God is doing here.
I know you guys made all

316
00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:11,920
difference as difference makers
and we stepped.

317
00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:15,200
Out by faith.
So we can change there forever

318
00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:18,160
and this place is going to
change a lot of there forevers.

319
00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:20,200
You can imagine initially goes
out.

320
00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:22,120
And so if you're a difference
maker, I'll say thank you.

321
00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:24,680
If you've not yet stepped in,
there'll be a link in this video

322
00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:27,840
below the video and you can
begin to give and just cheer on

323
00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:31,040
the things of God and sow some
seeds literally at the ground

324
00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:34,160
floor for God to move.
And we're getting more clear on

325
00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:36,480
this on Sunday.
I feel like I'm a just caught up

326
00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:38,200
with a a kite and a hurricane of
grace.

327
00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:39,640
I mean, it's it's incredible
guys doing.

328
00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:41,320
And so we're going to mind hard
round this.

329
00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:43,800
This moves so fast.
That's so cool, and we're going

330
00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:45,880
to be at Kentucky Trail at
91040.

331
00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:48,560
Five and just leaning in and
celebrating big what God is

332
00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:57,440
doing Legit legit.
That's the first time I've seen

333
00:14:57,440 --> 00:15:01,720
the video.
So nice job, Julian.

334
00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:06,480
That's that's the project, man.
It's just God's goodness.

335
00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:09,080
Amen.
I mean, I, I'm still just in

336
00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:13,760
shock just even seeing it and
it's quite just a blessing what

337
00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:16,600
God's going to do.
So what that looks like right

338
00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:18,960
now, we are in the process of
inspections.

339
00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:22,520
Due diligence gives us the
ability we we need to or want

340
00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:24,080
to, we can walk away from the
deal.

341
00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:30,640
There is zero part of me that
thinks that's a good idea, but

342
00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:33,360
we're looking at, you know,
obviously parking lot HVAC, roof

343
00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:35,120
infrastructure, that kind of
stuff.

344
00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:39,640
But thank you, Jesus.
I mean, what an amazing time it

345
00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:42,800
is like I just thought, man, I
told Holly the team I was like,

346
00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:45,720
man, I've I've yet to be the
season of ministry where it has

347
00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:50,520
been so much like out ahead of
us and God is doing so many

348
00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:53,440
incredible things.
It is just a special time.

349
00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:55,840
I just thank God for it.
And so I've been dreaming about

350
00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:57,600
this space.
Like I've been just thinking

351
00:15:57,600 --> 00:15:58,960
like, you know, God, what can we
do in this space?

352
00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:01,240
And so let me cast a little
little vision that's on my

353
00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:03,160
heart.
I'm not I'm not saying this is

354
00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:04,480
going to be turnkey.
We're walking in.

355
00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:07,400
Amen, God can make another
miracles.

356
00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:10,240
Amen.
But but, but I'm just saying,

357
00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:12,080
let me, let me just like tell
you what I'm seeing.

358
00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:15,000
So some of y'all are going to go
to the movies tonight.

359
00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:18,560
I'm going to see what you're
thinking on this, but I'm

360
00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:21,600
thinking of walking in and that
first theorem left, big theater

361
00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:24,160
like worship center, next
theater, worship center

362
00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:26,600
expansion, right, Put 2 together
as one.

363
00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:29,120
I'm thinking the right theater,
like man, let's turn into the

364
00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:30,200
big hub.
We hang.

365
00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:32,880
That's the hang right.
We do a little coffee shop up

366
00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:35,760
front, up front, you know where
the concessions are.

367
00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:39,000
We do kids ministry in the
second, third theater.

368
00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:42,320
Like we got room to go up.
It's tall as this building, you

369
00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:45,720
know, if we got to go to 2nd
floor down the road, right?

370
00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:48,160
But I'm thinking walk into the
hub and there's a community

371
00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:49,600
space, right?
Like there's so many people in

372
00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:52,080
the community are dying for an
event space, place to put

373
00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:55,920
tables, chairs, like APA, I'm
talking about all sorts of

374
00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:58,080
stuff.
But you could use that.

375
00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:00,920
Community becomes part of the
building, make that available to

376
00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:02,760
them.
Now I'm going to dream a little

377
00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:05,000
bigger.
Now we're like put an entrance

378
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:08,480
on a side by PetSmart, do some
stuff outside for fun, bring

379
00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:12,400
some food trucks in, have some
some community life people come

380
00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:14,119
in, hang out, that kind of
thing.

381
00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:16,359
Kids space.
This is way big.

382
00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:18,520
If someone wants to write the
check for this would be amazing.

383
00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:21,440
Amen.
But I'm like, all right, put

384
00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:23,119
some glass on the side of the
theater.

385
00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:25,040
We're going to walk into big
kids entrance.

386
00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:27,440
And then the glass, you can see
this awesome like tunnel town

387
00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:29,560
kind of world where it's like,
that's going to be really fun.

388
00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:31,680
If I can get a part of that.
So kids may play a part of what

389
00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:35,160
God's doing and then kids come
in and go life changing spaces

390
00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:36,720
and rooms.
We have an amazing kids team

391
00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:38,520
that love Jesus and kids love
Jesus.

392
00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:41,240
By the way, I will tell you on
Easter Sunday, we found out that

393
00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:43,880
this building, it's not maxing
out at this space, it's actually

394
00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:46,080
the kids space.
Just want you to know, there

395
00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:49,200
were sixty kids in the second
hour elementary class in a

396
00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:52,960
library that's portable.
Come on, somebody so great

397
00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:57,000
problem to have parking.
We had three deep cars up in the

398
00:17:57,000 --> 00:17:58,800
grass.
I didn't know we had to help

399
00:17:58,800 --> 00:18:00,080
people how to park.
But if you were one of those

400
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:02,120
people, like they'd park
back-to-back to back and people

401
00:18:02,120 --> 00:18:04,160
are trying to find a way out of
this place.

402
00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:07,080
So essentially all I'm saying is
we can't do three anymore

403
00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:09,920
without doing more spaces.
So we had to be 4 on Easter to

404
00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:13,200
be in this building.
So it just it's just crazy, like

405
00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:14,920
what a whirlwind of issues to
have.

406
00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:19,160
But look at that space and like,
well, how can we do ministers

407
00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:21,960
really, really well here?
And one of the options that has

408
00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:24,320
really been on the table behind
the scenes, it's not in the

409
00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:25,720
contract.
So I'm just going to put us out

410
00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:29,520
to pray for it.
But the ability to actually

411
00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:32,840
leave some space there for some
theaters and it's been behind

412
00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:34,680
the scenes and been
conversation.

413
00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:36,440
Why don't you pray for that?
Because that'd be an amazing

414
00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:39,760
deal for us to invite the
community in to play part of

415
00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:42,600
that story.
And they could come in and

416
00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:44,720
enjoy, you know, you can leave
church and be like, Hey, I'm

417
00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:49,320
going to catch a movie, right?
But be a great way to to serve

418
00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:50,960
the community.
But it'd have to work out like

419
00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:52,880
got asked to do some divine
favor appointments on that.

420
00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:54,800
There's chairs, there's
projectors, there's all sorts of

421
00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:57,240
stuff that happens on that.
But we're just asking God to

422
00:18:57,240 --> 00:18:57,800
move.
Amen.

423
00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:00,320
I mean, we had nothing to do
with this.

424
00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:04,640
I mean, you back up two weeks
ago, we're like, get ready for

425
00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:08,000
Easter.
And now it's like 2 different

426
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:09,480
worlds.
So I'll just be praying for

427
00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:11,440
that.
Be praying for, you know, God to

428
00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:18,000
give us asphalt that price.
Come on, somebody pray for to

429
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:21,360
ask for a gift for free.
We'll pay for a price up again,

430
00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:24,720
but just for miracles right
Divine favorite divine

431
00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:28,320
appointments to move the needle
and I just know got to do some

432
00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:31,120
very special stuff in this space
and I can see life change happen

433
00:19:31,120 --> 00:19:32,760
there.
I can see community life happen

434
00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:34,960
there.
I can see young people being

435
00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:36,960
sent from there.
It's really cool behind the

436
00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:39,280
scenes, not about the space.
We we're literally at the same

437
00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:40,680
time the same time this is
happening.

438
00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:43,440
We're talking to ministries in
Thailand about to bring the

439
00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:47,520
gospel to different villages and
meeting with people in Cairo in

440
00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:52,920
Lebanon to take ministries there
and do underground church there.

441
00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:54,880
We've we have real connections
that we were out there last

442
00:19:54,880 --> 00:19:56,640
year.
And I'm like, Laura, this is so

443
00:19:56,640 --> 00:19:57,800
amazing.
What if this building was the

444
00:19:57,800 --> 00:19:59,760
beginning of like a movement
that went across the world?

445
00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:02,200
Like what if we like trained gay
men?

446
00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:03,280
Dude, give it up for that,
right?

447
00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:06,280
Like it's cool reaching our
community, but how can we use

448
00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:09,760
this to like church planting
residency through our church,

449
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:13,480
Like having space for that,
having office space.

450
00:20:13,720 --> 00:20:15,280
I mean, it's just, it's just
absolutely amazing.

451
00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:17,520
And how incredible that you
could walk in like 2 minutes

452
00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:21,800
from the Hope Center next door
to the movie theater.

453
00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:25,000
Amen.
And so I will say, thank God,

454
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:27,640
it's just been so good.
We, we walked through a series,

455
00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:29,680
our first difference Maker
series and we went through

456
00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:31,640
numbers 13.
I was to remind you guys of what

457
00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:34,600
we asked God for and it was that
moment where they go into the

458
00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:36,800
promised land.
And it was really one of those

459
00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:40,960
moments where they, it was like
a holy moment, right?

460
00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:43,600
It, it's a moment like that sets
up.

461
00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:46,400
We're going to stay in the woods
for 40 years ago in and they,

462
00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:48,280
they, this is kind of a once in
duration moment.

463
00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:50,720
We talked about you guys
remember that and they sent the

464
00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:53,280
spies in, they sent all 12 in
and, and they, they're like,

465
00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:55,640
this is flowing milk and honey.
It's beautiful, it's amazing.

466
00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:57,640
And then two of them are like,
we should do it.

467
00:20:57,720 --> 00:20:59,400
And 10, we're like, we're
afraid.

468
00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:00,840
And this is what we talked
about.

469
00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:05,200
If you remember back in #13 it
says they, this is the spies.

470
00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:07,400
They get Moses account.
We went into land in which you

471
00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:09,600
sent us.
It does flow with milk and

472
00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:12,160
honey.
It said here, here is its fruit.

473
00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:14,040
But the people who live there,
they're powerful.

474
00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:15,880
The cities are fortified,
they're very large.

475
00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:19,120
And we're, we even saw this
sense of Anarch there, that

476
00:21:19,120 --> 00:21:21,280
Amalekites live in the give and
Hittites and Jebusites.

477
00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:22,920
Amorites live in the Hill
Country and the canines live

478
00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:24,200
near the sea and along the
Jordan.

479
00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:25,880
And they were paralyzed with
fear.

480
00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:29,000
And we talked about what it
takes to have faith.

481
00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:32,720
And for most people, vision and
faith ends at the first obstacle

482
00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:37,680
or opposition.
Most dreams die in the safety of

483
00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:40,160
our minds.
The dreams just end because it

484
00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:41,360
got hard.
It got difficult.

485
00:21:41,360 --> 00:21:43,600
People didn't believe in it.
Didn't they recognize some

486
00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:46,200
people didn't believe in our
dream on social media.

487
00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:48,120
Anybody see that?
Dude?

488
00:21:48,120 --> 00:21:49,200
Thank you, Jesus.
Amen.

489
00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:51,360
I mean, I don't know.
I'm not perturbed.

490
00:21:51,360 --> 00:21:53,640
I'm tickled to death.
I think it's amazing.

491
00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:55,960
Like, I mean, you are saying it,
right?

492
00:21:55,960 --> 00:21:57,840
Like, man, you might, you
remember Pirates of the

493
00:21:57,840 --> 00:21:59,920
Caribbean, You're the worst
pirate ever heard of.

494
00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:04,280
It's like, but you have heard of
me, Amen.

495
00:22:05,120 --> 00:22:07,720
I mean, you know what?
If people have critical opinion,

496
00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:10,320
hey man, we're praying for them.
We've outlasted critics.

497
00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:12,000
It don't bother me.
I didn't even read it.

498
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:13,720
Honestly.
It's like Lord just use it

499
00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:16,040
because somebody says something
and then somebody else reads it

500
00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:17,120
and he goes, I didn't know about
that.

501
00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:19,560
There's a church coming in and
God will use it.

502
00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:21,680
Amen.
Like I don't it doesn't bother

503
00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:22,640
me at all.
I'm tickled to death.

504
00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:24,440
I think it's amazing.
But this is what happens.

505
00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:26,600
There's there's people that are
just seeing fear and seeing

506
00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:28,840
obstacles.
And then Joshua and Caleb will

507
00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:31,720
step in Numbers 1330.
It says, and Caleb signs the

508
00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:34,600
people for Moses and said, what
should we we should go up and

509
00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:41,240
take possession land for we can
what we can what it's on the

510
00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:44,400
screen.
I don't think it is.

511
00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:49,640
You guys didn't memorize Numbers
1330 for we can what?

512
00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:52,560
Help me out?
We can certainly do it right.

513
00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:55,360
And if God's in it, then what
can stop it?

514
00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:58,560
And that's what they're saying.
Like we saw God part the Red

515
00:22:58,560 --> 00:22:59,600
Sea.
I mean, if this is the

516
00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:02,240
opportunity puts in front of us,
like, who can really say no?

517
00:23:02,600 --> 00:23:05,240
Like, why not go?
And they had they had this the

518
00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:09,480
vision to see past the obstacles
and the the faith to see past

519
00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:10,920
the problems.
Yeah, there's going to be

520
00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:11,680
obstacles.
Amen.

521
00:23:12,120 --> 00:23:14,680
And and, and, and sadly, like in
my world, in my level of

522
00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:17,040
leadership, most people around
me, they see a little too small,

523
00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:20,000
just real honest with you.
Like it's just what it is.

524
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:22,640
Like there's just not a lot of
great men and women of faith

525
00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:25,040
that see beyond the problems
that exist.

526
00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:26,760
But I'm just choosing to.
Amen.

527
00:23:27,360 --> 00:23:28,600
I just choose to see a little
further.

528
00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:30,360
I'm not saying I have the best
faith in the world, but just a

529
00:23:30,360 --> 00:23:34,360
little further to what God can
actually do through a space like

530
00:23:34,360 --> 00:23:36,200
this.
Some people saw giants, other

531
00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:38,480
people saw God's promises.
It's pretty interesting.

532
00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:43,360
Like we talked about how this
worked out, like we had

533
00:23:43,360 --> 00:23:46,080
personally thought the deal was
the virtual theater are been

534
00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:48,800
bought by Petra.
Like we're like, oh, it's gone,

535
00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:51,080
you know, but we're like, well,
maybe we have a chance to to

536
00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:53,360
rent it out, you know, and maybe
down the road that he comes to

537
00:23:53,360 --> 00:23:55,280
us or something.
It became very apparent through

538
00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:56,600
social media that was not the
case.

539
00:23:57,080 --> 00:23:58,360
And so we saw what everybody
else saw.

540
00:23:58,360 --> 00:23:59,880
There's a theater that's closing
down.

541
00:23:59,880 --> 00:24:02,480
There's an opportunity in front
of us and we did what no one

542
00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:04,520
else won't do.
And we just reached out.

543
00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:08,000
Amen, just reached out and said,
is there an opportunity?

544
00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:10,320
And it just started coming
together.

545
00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:13,640
I mean, it's just there's a
little bit of wisdom of like

546
00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:18,160
we've been preparing, we've been
looking, We we saw everybody

547
00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:21,360
else was kind of looking around
and we saw and said, God maybe

548
00:24:21,360 --> 00:24:24,120
just use this and God moved in
people's hearts and put this

549
00:24:24,120 --> 00:24:24,840
together.
Amen.

550
00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:28,640
So it's just this is kind of a
Kayla and Joshua type of faith,

551
00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:30,040
right?
They believed like we could have

552
00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:32,320
a new home there.
Like we put our family there,

553
00:24:32,560 --> 00:24:34,200
like this place is fruit and
honey.

554
00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:38,240
Like there's potential, there's
new life on the promised land.

555
00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:41,160
Like they saw that and like
we're willing to go and we

556
00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:43,440
recognize when we did this
message that and you may know

557
00:24:43,440 --> 00:24:46,240
this, but they're the only two
people ever to make it from that

558
00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:48,600
generation into the promised
land, Amen.

559
00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:51,720
So for us today, this is like a
once in duration type of moment,

560
00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:54,080
Amen.
I mean, it really is like you're

561
00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:56,440
going to look at the back in
time, like remember we used to

562
00:24:56,440 --> 00:24:59,560
be at that school.
Do you remember that?

563
00:24:59,560 --> 00:25:04,360
Were you from those days?
Right, That was me here.

564
00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:09,040
Put the popping print, you know,
like you're going to, you know,

565
00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:11,040
we're doing the building.
I'll be getting more and more

566
00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:14,520
less hair.
We see every time I see pastors

567
00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:16,280
and building initiatives, I'm
like, you'll be on the building,

568
00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:20,080
man, I can tell, right?
It's just good, though.

569
00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:22,600
I mean, this is good, but by
faith, like it's a one

570
00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:24,400
generation type moment.
We, we committed to this.

571
00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:26,480
We decide not to be people who
sell it for the wilderness.

572
00:25:26,480 --> 00:25:29,520
You guys remember that we're
we're not going to be in the

573
00:25:29,520 --> 00:25:32,200
wilderness.
We've been doing portable for

574
00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:34,960
almost 9 years.
Oh, by the way, I forgot to say

575
00:25:34,960 --> 00:25:37,320
this.
So the contract, you probably

576
00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:38,480
know when does that actually
happen?

577
00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:41,560
So and it'll be cut back, but
they're going to keep the movies

578
00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:44,440
open through through the summer.
We got big blockbuster hits and

579
00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:45,920
stuff.
August comes, they're going to

580
00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:48,680
start winding down late August.
I'm not sure the date they're

581
00:25:48,680 --> 00:25:52,640
actually closing, but our
paperwork closes on the 15th of

582
00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:56,920
September, 2 days before our 9th
birthday.

583
00:25:57,720 --> 00:26:00,680
Is that credible?
And I wish you would have looked

584
00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:02,280
at that, because I've been.
Like let's just move it to the

585
00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:04,600
17th.
Brother, you know what I mean?

586
00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:07,080
But God is good.
So nine years like in the

587
00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:09,040
wilderness and we're like, maybe
we can, maybe we're not doing 9

588
00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:11,960
more like God will make a way.
God will make an opportunity.

589
00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:14,080
We're like, we're not going to
be a status quo.

590
00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:15,800
We're not going to be apathetic.
Like we're going to move

591
00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:17,600
forward.
And I don't know about you, but

592
00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:21,240
like I'm ready for a miracle.
Like, and not just like in a

593
00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:22,560
building, because the building
is a building.

594
00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:25,320
I'm ready for the miracle to
happen in people's lives.

595
00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:27,920
Like I'm ready for people to
come to Christ.

596
00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:30,480
Like I'm so ready for people to
be sent out from our church.

597
00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:34,440
You don't even understand like
the need for the gospel to be

598
00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:36,760
going across the world like you,
you don't even see it yet.

599
00:26:36,760 --> 00:26:39,640
And there's just so much
opportunity for us to make an

600
00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:41,320
impact here.
So make an impact there.

601
00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:44,120
And then your family and friends
can know Christ and we can

602
00:26:44,120 --> 00:26:46,720
disciple them and grow them and
send them out in gospel

603
00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:49,080
planting.
Like who cares what they do?

604
00:26:49,640 --> 00:26:50,840
I mean, there's some of you guys
here today.

605
00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:53,760
I see you that are like, dude,
I'm just hungry for the gospel.

606
00:26:53,760 --> 00:26:57,160
Send me, use me.
Like come, come, come under the

607
00:26:57,160 --> 00:27:00,480
tree for a while and then like
be sent out or how we're going

608
00:27:00,480 --> 00:27:01,480
to do it, right?
Like, who cares?

609
00:27:01,480 --> 00:27:04,360
We don't own anything, Amen.
If today's not proof that we own

610
00:27:04,360 --> 00:27:07,480
nothing, I don't know what is.
And so we just kind of say just

611
00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:09,320
Jesus, right?
And for some of you today in the

612
00:27:09,320 --> 00:27:11,560
room, like you've been able to
look for a miracle, like you may

613
00:27:11,560 --> 00:27:13,480
be looking for a church, you're
looking for God, you're looking

614
00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:15,760
for the right place, you're
looking for freedom.

615
00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:19,640
You found it.
Jesus just did it in a very well

616
00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:21,160
what real way, and he'll do it
for you, Amen.

617
00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:23,240
And so we're going to do
something special.

618
00:27:23,320 --> 00:27:26,080
We're going to have a invitation
and we're going to do, we're

619
00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:28,560
going to have an altar call here
in a minute and we're going to

620
00:27:28,560 --> 00:27:29,880
have some songs we're going to
worship.

621
00:27:30,360 --> 00:27:32,960
And and I think giving back to
Jesus of what he's done and just

622
00:27:32,960 --> 00:27:34,880
lifting up praise.
So if you can't just pray,

623
00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:36,400
people say, Father God, just
thank you so much.

624
00:27:37,120 --> 00:27:40,120
God, we are so grateful God for
what you're doing.

625
00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:42,520
God, we don't deserve anything.
We don't deserve any of the

626
00:27:42,520 --> 00:27:44,480
glory.
God, it's only you.

627
00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:47,080
God, you've made a way.
You've moved in people's hearts.

628
00:27:47,080 --> 00:27:49,960
So we are grateful for every
person who has said yes along

629
00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:51,800
the way.
We stand on the shoulders of the

630
00:27:51,800 --> 00:27:54,760
school district and behind the
scenes for custodial and all

631
00:27:54,760 --> 00:27:56,440
these people who've just paved
the way.

632
00:27:56,920 --> 00:27:59,160
But God, you open a new door in
a new season, God, and we trust

633
00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:00,320
that you're going to provide for
it.

634
00:28:01,040 --> 00:28:02,360
And so, God, we give you
gratitude.

635
00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:04,280
I'll pray for one group of
people in the house.

636
00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:06,120
That's those of you that you
know you need to say yes to

637
00:28:06,120 --> 00:28:07,960
Jesus.
Those of you who walked in today

638
00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:09,880
not knowing who we are or
anything about real life.

639
00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:12,640
And you're starting to recognize
like there's a God universe that

640
00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:16,000
is a miraculous God that can do
great things that can cross the

641
00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:19,240
Red Sea and can provide spaces
that we don't deserve, but God

642
00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:21,880
can do it.
And that same Jesus came and

643
00:28:21,880 --> 00:28:24,040
down across from your sins, the
Bible says if you call on him,

644
00:28:24,040 --> 00:28:27,040
he'll save you and make you new
and he'll change your sin,

645
00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:29,080
exchange for all his
righteousness and make you

646
00:28:29,080 --> 00:28:31,760
whole.
And so today, if you need Jesus,

647
00:28:31,760 --> 00:28:33,240
the Bible says the day is today
a salvation.

648
00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:36,080
If you call on the Jesus, you'll
be saved, forgiven and made new.

649
00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:39,080
And so if you need Christ today,
let me be looking around.

650
00:28:39,080 --> 00:28:40,160
Just raise your hand high in
this place.

651
00:28:40,160 --> 00:28:42,720
I mean, I need Jesus today like
I need a miracle to have my own

652
00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:44,840
life.
I give the gospel to go out.

653
00:28:44,840 --> 00:28:46,320
This is what this church is all
about.

654
00:28:46,320 --> 00:28:48,600
If that's you, I'll pray for
you.

655
00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:52,480
Just just pray to God yourself
and the prayer is not saved.

656
00:28:52,480 --> 00:28:54,720
You appear to me to say, Father
God, thanks so much for loving

657
00:28:54,720 --> 00:28:57,240
me not to send Jesus when I was
at my worst.

658
00:28:57,240 --> 00:28:59,920
God, you've bent your best,
you've seen me, you know me, you

659
00:28:59,920 --> 00:29:02,240
love me, you know every sin,
every wrong thought, but you

660
00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:04,800
choose me and you die on the
cross for me, God.

661
00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:06,960
So I surrender my life.
God is no longer about Sean.

662
00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:09,840
It's only about me.
God, it's all about you and your

663
00:29:09,840 --> 00:29:11,720
glory.
And so God lift you up to him.

664
00:29:11,720 --> 00:29:14,480
Pray in Jesus name, Amen.
Come on, church, give it up,

665
00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:15,800
baby, for God's glory day.
Amen.

666
00:29:18,360 --> 00:29:20,440
If you guys could do something,
stand to your feet real quick.

667
00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:22,920
We're going to worship and I
want to encourage you guys.

668
00:29:22,920 --> 00:29:25,960
How do you respond to a miracle?
And you see this all throughout

669
00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:28,000
the Bible.
Singing is a response to a

670
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:30,280
miracle.
They cross the Red Sea and you

671
00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:33,440
got Moses and Miriam.
They sing with loud voices.

672
00:29:33,520 --> 00:29:36,080
Matter of fact, they wrote some
Psalms in the psalms from the

673
00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:38,640
cross in the Red Sea.
They wrote it down in Psalm form

674
00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:41,600
for us to have today.
They had some dancing.

675
00:29:41,600 --> 00:29:44,960
Amen, Miriam.
She got out the tambourine and

676
00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:46,760
danced for the Lord.
And may bring your tambourine

677
00:29:46,760 --> 00:29:48,280
today.
Come on somebody.

678
00:29:48,280 --> 00:29:49,480
We've had some tambourines, you
know.

679
00:29:49,920 --> 00:29:51,520
Now David, he danced for the
Lord.

680
00:29:51,520 --> 00:29:56,040
I don't recommend getting naked
the day, but he did shout.

681
00:29:56,120 --> 00:29:58,280
Shouting.
I mean the walls of Jericho fell

682
00:29:58,760 --> 00:30:01,400
and they they shouted praise.
We can hear some shouting today.

683
00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:04,760
Man be excited.
They laid the temple foundation

684
00:30:04,760 --> 00:30:07,560
to Ezra and they shouted, they
they gave generosity.

685
00:30:07,560 --> 00:30:10,160
It wasn't just emotional.
They they sacrificed when they

686
00:30:10,160 --> 00:30:11,560
opened the temple.
They sacrificed.

687
00:30:11,560 --> 00:30:13,680
They did offerings.
When the Ark of the Covenant

688
00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:16,880
came back, David gave offerings.
Just paving the way.

689
00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:18,800
I mean just worship.
Giving is worship.

690
00:30:19,080 --> 00:30:20,440
They testified.
This is pretty good.

691
00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:23,360
A lot of guys did this already.
Psalm 6616.

692
00:30:23,360 --> 00:30:26,680
Come and hear what the what the
Lord has done, like you're

693
00:30:26,680 --> 00:30:29,280
sharing the miracle.
I mean, it's just amazing.

694
00:30:29,280 --> 00:30:31,680
Like you'll go out this week and
then you hear about what's

695
00:30:31,680 --> 00:30:33,400
happening.
You hear what God did.

696
00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:34,760
That's worship.
Amen.

697
00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:37,640
Use it for God's joy.
And there was weeping.

698
00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:40,280
I had a few guys that texted me
pictures.

699
00:30:40,280 --> 00:30:43,840
I mean, I am crying right now.
Just so humbled and so, so

700
00:30:43,840 --> 00:30:45,000
grateful.
Some of you guys already went

701
00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:47,880
out in front of the theater and
prayed and said, Lord, you know,

702
00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:49,800
God, thank you God, use this
place.

703
00:30:49,800 --> 00:30:51,920
And so I want to do is I just
want to, I don't want to be like

704
00:30:51,920 --> 00:30:53,760
the the 9 lepers don't come
back.

705
00:30:54,600 --> 00:30:56,400
You know what I mean?
I don't, I don't got to the

706
00:30:56,400 --> 00:30:58,040
miracle.
And we're like, oh, cool.

707
00:30:58,800 --> 00:31:00,400
Like we got to go back to Lord,
Amen.

708
00:31:01,080 --> 00:31:03,840
And so these, these altars are
open and we're the one that

709
00:31:03,840 --> 00:31:06,680
comes back and just says, thank
you, Jesus, whatever way,

710
00:31:06,680 --> 00:31:08,160
whatever style, however you're
going to do it.

711
00:31:08,160 --> 00:31:09,720
But we're going to sing a couple
songs.

712
00:31:09,720 --> 00:31:12,120
But I want you to do it with a
heart full of gratitude for two

713
00:31:12,120 --> 00:31:15,080
full songs.
He deserves our whole life to

714
00:31:15,080 --> 00:31:17,760
worship Jesus, Amen.
And so this song is going to

715
00:31:17,760 --> 00:31:21,200
play and we're going to roll.
So thank you, Jesus.

716
00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:30,160
Amen.
Sean said the altars are open.

717
00:31:30,160 --> 00:31:32,480
If you want to pray, if you want
to lift up your hands, you want

718
00:31:32,480 --> 00:31:34,440
to sing, you want to kneel, grab
a friend.

719
00:31:34,440 --> 00:31:36,080
We're just going to praise God
for what he's done.

720
00:31:39,680 --> 00:31:46,160
You're good and I'm Wednesday.
You're strong and I'm Wednesday.

721
00:31:47,800 --> 00:31:52,240
You're constant.
I witnessed it and I'm confident

722
00:31:53,040 --> 00:31:55,720
that I'll see it again and
again.

723
00:31:56,200 --> 00:32:02,600
You love and I witnessed it.
You heal and I witnessed it.

724
00:32:04,440 --> 00:32:11,160
You save and I witnessed it and
I'm confident that I'll see it

725
00:32:11,160 --> 00:32:15,000
again and again.
You're good and I witnessed it.

726
00:32:17,080 --> 00:32:19,520
You're strong and I witnessed
it.

727
00:32:21,160 --> 00:32:24,240
You're constant.
I witnessed it.

728
00:32:24,400 --> 00:32:28,600
And I'm confident that I'll see
it again and again.

729
00:32:28,600 --> 00:32:31,800
And you love it.
I'll witness day.

730
00:32:33,800 --> 00:32:36,000
You heal it.
I'll witness day.

731
00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:39,920
You said it.
I'll witness day.

732
00:32:40,040 --> 00:32:44,760
And I'm comforted I'll see it
again.

733
00:32:47,240 --> 00:32:52,560
Witness your faithfulness.
I've seen you breathe life

734
00:32:52,640 --> 00:32:56,760
within.
So while pour out my place

735
00:32:57,880 --> 00:33:02,560
against your worthy got your
worthy of all of it.

736
00:33:03,160 --> 00:33:09,480
Your promises never fail.
I've got stories I'll let you

737
00:33:10,280 --> 00:33:13,960
tell someone.
Pour out my I praise again.

738
00:33:14,680 --> 00:33:18,280
You're worthy.
Gosh, you're worthy of all of

739
00:33:19,560 --> 00:33:23,880
it.
To the broken of Witness Day.

740
00:33:24,080 --> 00:33:29,120
To the hurry of Witness Day, the
lost.

741
00:33:29,160 --> 00:33:33,120
I will win this day.
And I'll tell them this.

742
00:33:33,600 --> 00:33:38,760
I'll tell them what I will.
There's to my family of Witness

743
00:33:38,760 --> 00:33:46,400
Day, to the city on Wilder's
Day, to the nations on Wilder's

744
00:33:46,400 --> 00:33:58,360
Day, and I'll tell the Mass,
I'll tell the world, our God, we

745
00:33:58,400 --> 00:33:59,880
give you the praise in this
place.

746
00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:04,520
God, our praise is.
Just giving you your breath.

747
00:34:05,160 --> 00:34:08,560
Back.
We have so little to offer you,

748
00:34:08,560 --> 00:34:13,639
God, but our lives, our praise,
our trust in you, God, we offer

749
00:34:13,639 --> 00:34:16,840
that to you today.
God, you're on the move and we

750
00:34:16,840 --> 00:34:19,600
trust you.
And let today be a stake in the

751
00:34:19,600 --> 00:34:24,120
ground of your faithfulness.
God that will remember, give you

752
00:34:24,120 --> 00:34:27,320
all the glory.
Lift him up because I witnessed

753
00:34:27,880 --> 00:34:33,080
your faithfulness.
I've seen you breathe life

754
00:34:33,120 --> 00:34:38,080
within.
So I pour him out praise again,

755
00:34:38,560 --> 00:34:43,639
'cause you're worthy, God,
you're worthy of all of it.

756
00:34:44,480 --> 00:34:51,840
Your promises never fail.
I've got stories I live to tell.

757
00:34:52,360 --> 00:34:59,680
So I pour out my praise again,
'cause you're worthy, God.

758
00:34:59,680 --> 00:35:23,720
You're worthy of all of it.
Because Christ is my firm

759
00:35:23,760 --> 00:35:33,840
foundation, the lock on which I
stand and everything around me

760
00:35:33,840 --> 00:35:41,480
is shaking.
I've never been more glad that I

761
00:35:41,840 --> 00:35:49,720
put my face everything Jesus
because he's never let me down.

762
00:35:50,560 --> 00:35:58,520
He's faithful through
generations, so why would he

763
00:35:58,720 --> 00:36:01,880
fail now?
He won't.

764
00:36:05,480 --> 00:36:13,040
He won't.
I still got joy in chaos.

765
00:36:15,440 --> 00:36:18,920
I've got peace that makes no
sense.

766
00:36:19,400 --> 00:36:27,760
So I won't be going under.
I'm not helped by my own

767
00:36:27,840 --> 00:36:37,400
strength that I build my life on
Jesus 'cause He's never let me

768
00:36:37,560 --> 00:36:41,920
down.
He's faithful in every season,

769
00:36:44,200 --> 00:36:54,520
so why would he fail now?
He won't, He won't.

770
00:36:58,360 --> 00:37:04,080
He won't fail.
He won't fail.

771
00:37:07,920 --> 00:37:12,120
He won't.
No, no, no, no.

772
00:37:12,720 --> 00:37:19,120
He won't fail.
He won't fail.

773
00:37:22,280 --> 00:37:26,440
He won't fail.
I lift him up.

774
00:37:26,760 --> 00:37:36,440
Christ is my firm foundation, a
rock on which I stand with

775
00:37:36,560 --> 00:37:46,200
everything around me shaking.
I've never been born bad that I

776
00:37:46,200 --> 00:37:51,600
put my day in Jesus.
This.

777
00:37:51,600 --> 00:37:58,720
He's never let me down.
He's stable through generations,

778
00:38:01,120 --> 00:38:06,400
so I would need them now.
He won't.

779
00:38:10,320 --> 00:38:16,640
He won't.
He won't me.

780
00:38:19,920 --> 00:38:54,040
He won't me.
Blue, But my house was built on

781
00:38:56,600 --> 00:39:01,800
you.
And I will say with you, and I'm

782
00:39:02,240 --> 00:39:03,720
gonna make it.
Blue.

783
00:39:05,440 --> 00:39:21,400
But my house was built on you.
I'm safe with you and I'm going

784
00:39:21,520 --> 00:39:29,640
to make it through.
Rain came with bloom.

785
00:39:30,280 --> 00:39:38,960
My house was built on you and
I'm safe with you.

786
00:39:40,680 --> 00:39:43,680
And I'm going to make it
through.

787
00:39:44,280 --> 00:39:47,360
Yeah, I'm gone.
I'm gonna make it through.

788
00:39:49,480 --> 00:39:57,320
Stop standing strong on you.
Yeah, I'm gonna make it through.

789
00:39:59,040 --> 00:40:05,920
As my house is built on you.
Christ is my firm foundation,

790
00:40:08,320 --> 00:40:13,040
The Rock.
On which I stand when everything

791
00:40:13,080 --> 00:40:22,760
around me is shaking.
I've never in my life when I put

792
00:40:22,800 --> 00:40:32,720
my bath in Jesus, he's never let
me down and stable through

793
00:40:33,760 --> 00:40:40,560
generations.
So why would he fail now?

794
00:40:41,280 --> 00:40:52,000
He won, He won.
He won, man.

795
00:40:55,960 --> 00:41:06,360
He won't be.
He won't.

796
00:41:10,280 --> 00:41:15,680
He won't.
He won't.

797
00:41:15,680 --> 00:41:22,480
He won't.
No, he won't.

798
00:41:29,440 --> 00:41:32,880
Come on man, I could have.
That's right.

799
00:41:33,280 --> 00:41:37,000
All glory to God.
Man is so good.

800
00:41:37,000 --> 00:41:39,880
Man, I could have stayed in that
moment felt like for hours just

801
00:41:39,880 --> 00:41:42,120
worshipping all that God has
done.

802
00:41:42,400 --> 00:41:47,320
I mean, what a reminder today
that miracles still happen and

803
00:41:47,320 --> 00:41:50,000
we're witnessing that.
And it has just been so amazing.

804
00:41:50,000 --> 00:41:51,840
And why don't you guys go ahead
and take a seat.

805
00:41:52,200 --> 00:41:54,320
I mean, some of you for the
first time today recognize the

806
00:41:54,320 --> 00:41:57,960
miracle of Jesus in your life
and you prayed that prayer and

807
00:41:57,960 --> 00:42:00,760
you raised your hand and you
accepted Jesus today.

808
00:42:00,760 --> 00:42:03,080
And if that is you, we are so
excited for you.

809
00:42:03,280 --> 00:42:06,160
We would love just to walk
alongside you to resource you as

810
00:42:06,160 --> 00:42:09,080
you take the step with Jesus.
You can let us know that

811
00:42:09,080 --> 00:42:10,280
decision.
We'd love to help you.

812
00:42:10,280 --> 00:42:13,080
You can grab that connection
card that's on your seats, fill

813
00:42:13,080 --> 00:42:15,240
out your information there and
check that box that says I've

814
00:42:15,240 --> 00:42:17,720
committed my life to Jesus.
And you can drop that in the

815
00:42:17,720 --> 00:42:20,760
giving buckets as they pass here
in just a few minutes.

816
00:42:20,760 --> 00:42:23,360
By doing that, we'll drop you a
free book in the mail this week.

817
00:42:23,640 --> 00:42:27,000
It's a short but powerful pact,
a book that will help you in

818
00:42:27,000 --> 00:42:28,920
your journey.
Also, before you leave today,

819
00:42:29,160 --> 00:42:31,520
grab a red bag.
There's a table right before you

820
00:42:31,520 --> 00:42:34,720
exit the worship center and side
is a free Bible and just a few

821
00:42:34,720 --> 00:42:37,280
other resources for you.
We would love just to walk

822
00:42:37,280 --> 00:42:40,200
alongside you in this journey.
And I want to talk to those of

823
00:42:40,200 --> 00:42:41,840
you who are newer with Real Life
Church.

824
00:42:41,840 --> 00:42:44,640
Maybe this is your first time
here with us at Real Life

825
00:42:44,640 --> 00:42:47,800
Church, or maybe it's just the
first time in a long time.

826
00:42:47,800 --> 00:42:49,440
And we are so excited that
you're here.

827
00:42:49,440 --> 00:42:52,080
We welcome you here.
So glad that you chose to spend

828
00:42:52,080 --> 00:42:55,680
your morning right here with us.
And we really don't want

829
00:42:55,680 --> 00:42:58,440
anything from you this this
morning except for this.

830
00:42:58,440 --> 00:43:01,000
We'd love just to simply know
that you were here for you to

831
00:43:01,000 --> 00:43:04,040
introduce yourself to us.
And you can do that by grabbing

832
00:43:04,040 --> 00:43:06,640
that same connection card.
And you can fill that out, fill

833
00:43:06,640 --> 00:43:09,400
out your information there.
You can check first time here on

834
00:43:09,400 --> 00:43:11,240
that card as well.
You can take it on out to the

835
00:43:11,240 --> 00:43:14,200
new here booth when you exit the
worship center, there's somebody

836
00:43:14,200 --> 00:43:16,280
there that would love to just
greet you.

837
00:43:16,280 --> 00:43:18,280
Or you can also drop it in the
giving buckets as well.

838
00:43:18,280 --> 00:43:21,000
And we would love to see you
back right here with us again

839
00:43:21,000 --> 00:43:24,360
next Sunday, man.
Shawn had talked about one of

840
00:43:24,360 --> 00:43:28,240
the ways that we can celebrate
this is through generosity.

841
00:43:29,000 --> 00:43:32,480
Because what better time than
right now to celebrate all that

842
00:43:32,480 --> 00:43:35,520
God is doing.
After 8 1/2 years of being

843
00:43:35,520 --> 00:43:39,320
portable, God truly opened a
door.

844
00:43:39,640 --> 00:43:42,960
And that's not normal.
What just happened for our

845
00:43:42,960 --> 00:43:46,240
church, It's not normal.
It's truly a miracle and all

846
00:43:46,240 --> 00:43:48,440
that God has doing for us.
And when I think about that,

847
00:43:48,440 --> 00:43:51,800
every dollar we give towards
this truly is a seed.

848
00:43:52,280 --> 00:43:56,000
And it's a seed being sown not
just into a building, but a seed

849
00:43:56,000 --> 00:43:58,920
being sown into the community
and the lives that need to know

850
00:43:59,120 --> 00:44:03,440
the hope and power and freedom
that is only found in Jesus.

851
00:44:03,440 --> 00:44:05,480
And what an opportunity and a
time to do that.

852
00:44:05,680 --> 00:44:07,480
Man.
In December, just a few short

853
00:44:07,480 --> 00:44:10,720
months ago, we started giving
towards our difference maker

854
00:44:10,720 --> 00:44:14,600
initiative to be able to say yes
when an opportunity came for us

855
00:44:14,600 --> 00:44:17,200
to find our first permanent
home.

856
00:44:17,200 --> 00:44:20,200
And we filled out commitment
cards and we started giving to

857
00:44:20,200 --> 00:44:21,520
that.
Really a difference maker is

858
00:44:21,520 --> 00:44:23,520
this.
It's somebody who gives

859
00:44:23,560 --> 00:44:28,160
generously by faith for their
forever.

860
00:44:28,400 --> 00:44:31,160
I mean, what an opportunity we
have right now to be difference

861
00:44:31,160 --> 00:44:34,640
makers, to sow seeds not just
for people who are here now, but

862
00:44:34,640 --> 00:44:37,480
for people who haven't even come
through the doors, who don't

863
00:44:37,480 --> 00:44:40,160
know the hope of Jesus.
We have an opportunity to do

864
00:44:40,160 --> 00:44:42,240
that.
So I want to invite you to be a

865
00:44:42,240 --> 00:44:44,400
difference maker.
If you feel called to do that,

866
00:44:44,400 --> 00:44:46,040
there are commitment cards on
your seat.

867
00:44:46,240 --> 00:44:48,400
You can fill those out.
Just committing to give above

868
00:44:48,400 --> 00:44:50,720
and beyond.
If that is where God is moving

869
00:44:50,720 --> 00:44:52,160
in your life, we would love for
you to do that.

870
00:44:52,160 --> 00:44:55,200
Be a difference maker with us.
If you call real life home,

871
00:44:55,200 --> 00:44:57,000
there are a lot of ways that you
can give here.

872
00:44:57,400 --> 00:44:58,880
You can check out the screen
there.

873
00:44:58,880 --> 00:45:01,240
There you can scan that QR.
You can head to our website, you

874
00:45:01,240 --> 00:45:03,720
can text to give.
You can drop cash or check in

875
00:45:03,720 --> 00:45:05,320
the giving buckets.
They're going to pass here in

876
00:45:05,320 --> 00:45:07,920
just a couple of minutes.
There's also a giving box right

877
00:45:07,920 --> 00:45:09,920
in the back.
You can drop cash or check in

878
00:45:09,920 --> 00:45:12,760
there as well.
And as always, if you or your

879
00:45:12,760 --> 00:45:15,680
family find yourself in any kind
of need this week, food,

880
00:45:15,680 --> 00:45:18,640
clothing, shelter, really
whatever that looks like as

881
00:45:18,640 --> 00:45:22,000
these buckets pass, please reach
in, grab any loose cash that you

882
00:45:22,000 --> 00:45:25,120
see just so that we can be a
blessing to you, a resource this

883
00:45:25,120 --> 00:45:27,880
week, to you and your family.
And I'm going to invite Logan

884
00:45:27,880 --> 00:45:30,520
Hardy up here to this stage to
lead us out this morning.

885
00:45:33,200 --> 00:45:34,960
Oh man, I don't know about you
guys, but this has just been

886
00:45:34,960 --> 00:45:37,000
such a good morning.
Out of all the words that come

887
00:45:37,000 --> 00:45:39,000
to mind, grateful is the first
one.

888
00:45:39,000 --> 00:45:40,600
And here's another thing I'm
grateful for.

889
00:45:40,880 --> 00:45:44,400
I am grateful for anybody that's
in here that is newer or new ish

890
00:45:44,400 --> 00:45:46,720
that came out to check us again
after Easter.

891
00:45:46,720 --> 00:45:49,120
So if that's you, everybody just
give it up for these people.

892
00:45:51,040 --> 00:45:54,080
In the same vein, I'm talking
again to you that are in here

893
00:45:54,080 --> 00:45:56,560
that are newer next week.
We have such an awesome

894
00:45:56,560 --> 00:45:59,480
opportunity for you to get
connected a little bit deeper

895
00:45:59,480 --> 00:46:01,160
with our church.
It's something that we call the

896
00:46:01,160 --> 00:46:03,080
welcome party.
Like I said, it's going to be

897
00:46:03,080 --> 00:46:04,760
next week in between the
gatherings.

898
00:46:04,760 --> 00:46:07,480
That'll be 10:20 to 10:50.
I think it's going to be 30

899
00:46:07,480 --> 00:46:09,840
minutes.
And if you are newer, this is

900
00:46:09,840 --> 00:46:13,000
your opportunity to get to know
the leadership here a little bit

901
00:46:13,000 --> 00:46:14,960
better.
It's to get plugged in and make

902
00:46:14,960 --> 00:46:18,120
some new meaningful friendships
within the church.

903
00:46:18,120 --> 00:46:20,720
It's going to be your best
opportunity to hear a little bit

904
00:46:20,720 --> 00:46:23,840
more what real life is about,
what we strive for and how you

905
00:46:23,840 --> 00:46:26,880
can get plugged in here and
maximize your talents to serve

906
00:46:26,880 --> 00:46:29,280
and what opportunities might be
before you to get to know God

907
00:46:29,280 --> 00:46:31,280
deeper.
So if that's you, you're in here

908
00:46:31,480 --> 00:46:33,720
and you're newer, I would love
to see you next week at our

909
00:46:33,720 --> 00:46:35,400
welcome party.
And I have one other

910
00:46:35,400 --> 00:46:38,160
announcement equally as
important in the Hub.

911
00:46:38,160 --> 00:46:40,320
When you go out there, when you
leave, we have doughnuts.

912
00:46:40,560 --> 00:46:43,200
So keep the celebration going.
Get a doughnut and just

913
00:46:43,200 --> 00:46:46,040
celebrate everything that God
did here over this past week.

914
00:46:46,040 --> 00:46:47,920
If you need prayer or something
to talk to, have somebody down

915
00:46:47,920 --> 00:46:49,560
here for you.
And otherwise, I'll see you guys

916
00:46:49,560 --> 00:46:52,880
all next week. 9 and 10:45 I
remember whoever finds Jesus

917
00:46:52,880 --> 00:46:56,200
discovers real life and purpose.
See you guys next week.
