00:00:01,600 --> 00:00:04,800
Happy New Year, everyone.
We are so excited that you
2
00:00:04,800 --> 00:00:08,600

00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:11,400
online.
We are so excited to spend the
4
00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:14,300
morning with you and you may be
here looking for some positive
5
00:00:14,300 --> 00:00:18,000
news, maybe some encouragement,
maybe a little bit of Hope and I
6
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:20,600
want to tell you have come to
the right place.
7
00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:23,400
I have a feeling that there's
somebody on the other end of
8
00:00:23,400 --> 00:00:26,300
that screen this morning who
just needs to hear used to have
9
00:00:26,300 --> 00:00:30,000
a reminder that we serve a God
who is still active and alive
10
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:33,500
and In our community, a God who
wants a relationship with you
11
00:00:33,700 --> 00:00:37,300
fiercely wants to pursue.
You have a holy spirit who's
12
00:00:37,300 --> 00:00:41,000
working in our life, not just
today, but wants to have success
13
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:44,500
for us all the way through this.
Next 20, 23 season.
14
00:00:45,100 --> 00:00:47,800
I'm so excited for all that God
has in store for us this
15
00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:49,100
morning.
So what we're going to do is
16
00:00:49,100 --> 00:00:52,300
we're going to have a couple of
worship songs right after that.
17
00:00:52,300 --> 00:00:55,000
We're going to have some fun
time for you to connect with us
18
00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:57,100
through the screen.
And then Pastor, Sean is going
19
00:00:57,100 --> 00:01:01,400

series called Your breakout

00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:04,099
year, it is going to be an
amazing morning.
21
00:01:04,099 --> 00:01:06,600
But before we get started with
all of that, let's get started
22
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:10,200
with some awesome worship.
Happy New Year.
23
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:12,000

How great the chasm that lay
between us how high the mountain
30
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:57,600
I could not in desperation, I
turn to and spoke your name.
31
00:01:58,300 --> 00:02:08,800
Into and through the darkness,
your loving, kindness toward
32
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:24,000
through the shadows of mine.
Jesus Christ my life
33
00:02:37,300 --> 00:02:51,700
What heart could find such
boundless Grace to wear my sin.
34
00:02:52,600 --> 00:03:06,300
And baby has fallen.
The King of Kings calls me.

The only one who is Worthy.
We are so excited that you are

And a way to get connected.
There we are a church that is on
75
00:10:56,100 --> 00:10:59,800
a mission and that mission is to
see people who are far from God
76
00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:02,200
discover their real life and
purpose in.
77
00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:05,300
Jesus, and simply put that just
means that we are at church for
78
00:11:05,300 --> 00:11:08,600
the unchurched.
We want to see this city just
79
00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:11,700
completely transformed in the
name of Jesus and we get the
80
00:11:11,700 --> 00:11:15,300

amazing opportunity that we have
to connect in a unique way.
85
00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:29,400

people in our city, but just to
86
00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:32,000
be able to have an opportunity,
even outside of the walls of a

00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:34,600
church Lord to worship and
praise you.

00:11:34,700 --> 00:11:38,300
And to honor you with our words,
Lord help to fill us today with
89
00:11:38,300 --> 00:11:41,500
hope and love as we head into
this 2023 season.

00:11:41,500 --> 00:11:44,800

00:11:57,508 --> 00:11:59,500
this in your name.
Amen.
96
00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:04,200
Well as we launch into this new
year, I am so excited to pass
97
00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:07,000
off the camera to Pastor Sean as
he launches this brand new
98
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:08,700
series.
It provides you guys with a
99
00:12:08,708 --> 00:12:12,400
little bit of Hope today.
Happy New Year, real life, come
100
00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:18,000
on you made 2023 and I even got
a coffee right here because I
101
00:12:18,008 --> 00:12:22,000
know some of you after last
night needs Some coffee.
102
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:23,900
Come on somebody, but me, I'm
excited.
103
00:12:23,900 --> 00:12:26,200
You guys are with us.
Excited to launch a brand new
104
00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:29,700
year and a really lean into
really a new series called
105
00:12:29,700 --> 00:12:32,800
breakout, and really, it's your
breakout year in 2023.
106
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:35,800
And for some of us last year,
maybe not been the URI wanted,
107
00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:38,800
but this year, I believe God
been praying for God to release
108
00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:41,200
this year, kind of breakthrough.
Maybe some relationships, I
109
00:12:41,208 --> 00:12:43,300
missed some addictions.
Maybe some things in your life
110
00:12:43,300 --> 00:12:47,200
that you're trying to do name a
Jesus, maybe some Souls changed.
111
00:12:47,300 --> 00:12:50,100
Maybe some people coming to
Christ and really honestly maybe
112
00:12:50,100 --> 00:12:53,400
just take off the weight.
And keep it off in Jesus name.
113
00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:56,000
Come on somebody, I'm really
praying for God's kingdom to
114
00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:59,200
come here through you in this
season.
115
00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:02,700
Here's the reality though. 92%
stats.
116
00:13:02,700 --> 00:13:07,700
A of those who make a New Year's
resolution actually fail at the
117
00:13:07,700 --> 00:13:11,600
resolution and Paul went through
this war of the Flesh and the
118
00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:14,100
spirit and really on the inside
the same, we're going to go
119
00:13:14,100 --> 00:13:17,500
through as we launched in this
new year and says this Romans
120
00:13:17,500 --> 00:13:20,500
chapter 7, is this Paul talking?
It says, I don't understand
121
00:13:20,500 --> 00:13:23,700
myself.
For I want to do what is right
122
00:13:23,700 --> 00:13:26,700
but I don't do it instead.
I do what I hate.
123
00:13:26,900 --> 00:13:29,600
I do.
It's not right but I can't I
124
00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:31,500
want to do it's good but I don't
I want to do.
125
00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:33,400
I don't do it's wrong but I do
it anyway.
126
00:13:33,500 --> 00:13:35,700
He says oh what a miserable
person, I am.
127
00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:38,100
Who will free me from the life.
That is dominated by sin and
128
00:13:38,100 --> 00:13:40,600
death.
He says thank God.
129
00:13:40,700 --> 00:13:45,000
The answer is in Jesus Christ,
Our Lord, and this year, we're
130
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:47,300
going to start off.
And we had these goals and is
131
00:13:47,300 --> 00:13:50,400
resolutions, and there's just
War happening on the inside, its
132
00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:53,600
release.
More of the Flesh in the spirit.
133
00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:56,900
And Paul was in this war, nice,
believe those invisible battles.
134
00:13:56,900 --> 00:14:00,200
You have to fight this year.
Will make all the difference as
135
00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:02,700
you lead in 2023.
I know it's easy to start and
136
00:14:02,700 --> 00:14:05,700
state some goals of things that
happen out there and outcomes,
137
00:14:05,900 --> 00:14:07,600
but I want to start out this
year talking about what's
138
00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:10,900
happening right here inside of
our hearts, the invisible walls,
139
00:14:10,900 --> 00:14:13,800
that we battle the visible
voices that are in our heads.
140
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:17,300
And so maybe last year.
There's a lot of maybe ourselves
141
00:14:17,300 --> 00:14:20,600
in last year, maybe is ego and
pride, we're pushing.
142
00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:23,500
It was just maybe He too much of
us or maybe it was the this
143
00:14:23,500 --> 00:14:26,300
invisible Wall of Shame.
These chains are holding us
144
00:14:26,300 --> 00:14:28,900
back, some things that are
spoken over us.
145
00:14:28,900 --> 00:14:31,100
Some thoughts about ourselves
that kept us for having a
146
00:14:31,100 --> 00:14:34,800
breakout year last year.
Maybe it's a visible of fear may
147
00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:37,100
be that worried that's been
keeping us up at night.
148
00:14:37,100 --> 00:14:40,000
Maybe there's a situation or
circumstance or broken
149
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:43,300
relationship and it's just
raining on our souls.
150
00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:47,100
Maybe, there's some distrust
from 2022, maybe last year was
151
00:14:47,100 --> 00:14:50,900
like your biggest year and
isolation and insulation.
152
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:54,200
And Just shut the world out and
completely, and you really need
153
00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:55,600
to start trusting people this
year.
154
00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:57,800
Maybe there's guilt.
That's driving you, or maybe
155
00:14:57,800 --> 00:15:00,700
you're in the comparison trap.
Maybe start believing, I'm not
156
00:15:00,700 --> 00:15:01,700
this.
I'm not that.
157
00:15:01,700 --> 00:15:05,300
And I'm not lovable, and I'm
just helpless and I can't, maybe
158
00:15:05,300 --> 00:15:08,200
you're stuck at the beginning of
this year and so, there's so
159
00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:09,800
many invisible walls.
But here's what I'm start out
160
00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:11,500
this year with.
It's really simple.
161
00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:16,500
I can't, but Jesus can, amen.
I can't.
162
00:15:16,500 --> 00:15:19,800
But Jesus can I'm not good
enough, but Jesus is good and
163
00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:22,700
through Jesus.
He He can tear down the walls on
164
00:15:22,700 --> 00:15:25,900
the inside and so for this to be
a breakout Year, we're not going
165
00:15:25,900 --> 00:15:28,700
to tell it what to do out here.
Let's talk about today what God
166
00:15:28,700 --> 00:15:31,500
can do in here.
What walls does need to tear
167
00:15:31,500 --> 00:15:34,800
down in your life to really set
the foundation to make this one
168
00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:38,300
of your best years yet?
I believe this, it's a small
169
00:15:38,300 --> 00:15:39,700
thing.
It's the invisible things.
170
00:15:39,700 --> 00:15:43,100
The things that no one else sees
that will make the biggest
171
00:15:43,100 --> 00:15:47,800
difference in 2022. 2023 thing,
but every sports team out there.
172
00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:49,200
They'll want to win the
championship.
173
00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:50,900
Come on, they'll be Super Bowl
champs.
174
00:15:50,900 --> 00:15:53,700
So Talk smack online.
Everybody's got their teams and
175
00:15:53,700 --> 00:15:56,600
room for stuff, but we all have
the same goal but what makes a
176
00:15:56,608 --> 00:15:59,100
difference.
It's all the small things.
177
00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:02,000
All those daily things,
invisible things that make the
178
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:04,000
difference at the end.
A think about people's
179
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:07,000
marriages, people have a great
marriage and then you get five,
180
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:10,200
seven, ten, maybe fifteen years
down the road, and you know
181
00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:11,700
what?
They're on opposite sides and
182
00:16:11,900 --> 00:16:14,800
they end up having marriage
fights and all sorts of things,
183
00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:18,200
go off track and the train
crashes, and no one South to do
184
00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:21,100
that, but it's all the small
things we all want.
185
00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:23,100
Have the great things, but so
small things, they were didn't
186
00:16:23,100 --> 00:16:26,200
make the difference.
Those invisible things add up to
187
00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:28,500
be big things.
Here's, I'm talking about, think
188
00:16:28,500 --> 00:16:31,800
about Jesus.
Jesus, often neglected, the
189
00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:35,500
crowd often went away in
solitude, he went away on a side
190
00:16:35,500 --> 00:16:37,700
of a mountain.
He left his disciples by the
191
00:16:37,700 --> 00:16:39,800
campfire and went out by
himself.
192
00:16:39,900 --> 00:16:42,500
He did something that seems so
small but it's so big.
193
00:16:42,500 --> 00:16:45,400
He prayed he spent time alone
with God.
194
00:16:45,500 --> 00:16:48,600
It was his there's a holy spirit
Power, it was a source.
195
00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:52,500
And so for Jesus, for him to get
Can hear words from his father
196
00:16:52,500 --> 00:16:55,300
and the Holy Spirit and build
him up those small things that
197
00:16:55,300 --> 00:16:59,300
consistent had in his life, made
all the difference in the world.
198
00:16:59,300 --> 00:17:01,200
You know what kind of birds
would make for you?
199
00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:03,400
If you were to pray for your
spouse every day?
200
00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:06,099
Well, if you pray for your kids
every day, but if you got her
201
00:17:06,099 --> 00:17:08,000
knees and you said, God used my
life.
202
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:11,099
Today, I'm, I'm yielded to you.
I want you to use me.
203
00:17:11,099 --> 00:17:13,300
God, thank you for my family.
Think for my spouse.
204
00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:15,099
What difference would that make
in your life?
205
00:17:15,099 --> 00:17:19,000
One small thing that make a huge
difference this year.
206
00:17:19,500 --> 00:17:22,400
You know, we don't need to set
out and Put the goal to lose 20
207
00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:25,599
pounds or that we're going to
get more organized or pay off
208
00:17:25,599 --> 00:17:28,200
her credit card debt, or we're
gonna be professional
209
00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:30,700
evangelist.
I would encourage you salt stump
210
00:17:30,700 --> 00:17:33,400
start with something very, very,
very small.
211
00:17:33,500 --> 00:17:34,800
Maybe the beginning of this
year.
212
00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:37,100
Maybe just say, I'm just going
to go outside.
213
00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:40,100
I'm gonna, I'm gonna walk, I'm
just gonna walk three times a
214
00:17:40,100 --> 00:17:42,000
week.
I'm not going to go out with a
215
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:44,400
goal and try lose weight.
I'm just going to start doing
216
00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:47,800
these little tiny things that
maybe you, pray and listen to
217
00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:49,600
God.
We talked about this year, about
218
00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:53,400
chair time, just being Five
Minutes Alone with Jesus.
219
00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:54,900
Maybe your goal is really
simple.
220
00:17:55,100 --> 00:17:57,900
Maybe your goal this year at the
very beginning, the year is just
221
00:17:57,900 --> 00:18:00,500
to pick your Bible up, not even
read it.
222
00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:03,600
Literally just grab it and put
it in your work bag and bring it
223
00:18:03,608 --> 00:18:06,100
with you to work or maybe you
just bring it on the nightstand.
224
00:18:06,100 --> 00:18:08,600
Next to your bed, just pick up
the Bible.
225
00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:11,300
See, like, I believe, 90% of
what you're into this year is
226
00:18:11,300 --> 00:18:15,100
just showing up like if you just
get to the gym, if you just get
227
00:18:15,100 --> 00:18:17,700
to the Bible, I believe that you
have a really good chance of
228
00:18:17,700 --> 00:18:18,900
doing what God has called you to
do.
229
00:18:18,900 --> 00:18:22,500
Just by getting that book in
your, Hands just by getting on
230
00:18:22,500 --> 00:18:24,400
your knees and praying and
asking God, there's a little
231
00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:26,600
small things make all the
difference.
232
00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:27,900
What about this?
Well, if you didn't buy a
233
00:18:27,900 --> 00:18:31,900
coffee, every single day, what
was like every other day, we do
234
00:18:31,900 --> 00:18:34,000
something crazy.
What if you canceled, Netflix,
235
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:35,600
come all somebody.
Maybe.
236
00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:38,400
Maybe save like $100 a month
between Netflix and coffee,
237
00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:39,500
right?
In Jesus name.
238
00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:41,800
I can tell you something small
that's working for die.
239
00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:44,900
And I, we took our TV ad for
bedroom.
240
00:18:45,100 --> 00:18:47,800
Something really small
relocated, you know, talking 30
241
00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:50,700
feet away, and it's changed
changed a lot for us.
242
00:18:50,700 --> 00:18:53,400
So it's The seasons been crazy
at the Hope Center and you get
243
00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:55,300
home and you're just late, it's
like, hey, you know what?
244
00:18:55,300 --> 00:18:57,100
Let's move TV out.
And we turn our bedroom into
245
00:18:57,100 --> 00:19:01,600
place of rest and Recreation.
Come on somebody, she can't keep
246
00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:02,900
her hands off me.
What can I say?
247
00:19:02,900 --> 00:19:05,100
It's a new year.
These guys are trying not to
248
00:19:05,108 --> 00:19:08,900
laugh but their laughs and it's
a real deal right there.
249
00:19:08,900 --> 00:19:12,500
Trying not to its great dying.
When we cut that out bum, keep
250
00:19:12,500 --> 00:19:14,800
it in, right?
But I'm just totally Small
251
00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:17,600
Things, add up to big things.
Think about blowing water, you
252
00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:20,400
try to watch that hot though
that water boil and you're going
253
00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:22,400
to put those noodles.
As in wait, for kids are going
254
00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:24,000
psycho.
Right, and you, waiting and
255
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:26,300
waiting, and waiting, and it
feels like nothing is happening,
256
00:19:26,300 --> 00:19:28,200
right?
But the reality is this, you
257
00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:32,100
don't see anything until it gets
to 212 degrees, but all the way
258
00:19:32,100 --> 00:19:36,300
between that 90° or will be 40
degrees right now, write all
259
00:19:36,300 --> 00:19:39,800
those temperatures to scope one
temperature at a time until you
260
00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:42,800
can find see the results and the
reality is this is it a lot of
261
00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:45,100
shaping, a lot of things that
God is going to do the inside of
262
00:19:45,100 --> 00:19:48,800
you to prepare you before.
Other people, even notice the
263
00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:51,400
difference.
If you're working out you Even
264
00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:54,000
notice a difference in your own
life, until 30 days, then your
265
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:57,000
closest people do in 60, and
then your friends will notice
266
00:19:57,000 --> 00:19:59,400
about 90 days.
The reality is this, those
267
00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:02,300
little small things every day,
those habits, those the way we
268
00:20:02,300 --> 00:20:05,100
see ourselves, make all the
difference in the world.
269
00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:08,500
Moving up one degree at a time.
So I believe this in Galatians
270
00:20:08,500 --> 00:20:10,100
6:9.
This we have to do.
271
00:20:10,100 --> 00:20:12,100
It says this.
Let us not be weary in doing
272
00:20:12,100 --> 00:20:16,000
good for at the proper time, we
will reap a harvest.
273
00:20:16,100 --> 00:20:20,400
If we do not give up.
The reality is most people don't
274
00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:23,700
see the fruit of their labor.
There's not a microwave
275
00:20:23,700 --> 00:20:26,700
Christianity and so as you start
this, your app, you just do the
276
00:20:26,700 --> 00:20:29,700
things, you know, are the right
things to do follow God, those
277
00:20:29,700 --> 00:20:33,200
small little areas, but don't
give up, it's hard, you don't
278
00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:34,700
see the fruit.
You don't see the results, you
279
00:20:34,708 --> 00:20:36,200
don't see all the things you
want to see.
280
00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:38,000
You don't look in the mirror
and, like, wow, I'm changed
281
00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:40,000
overnight.
When you work out, it's the same
282
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:41,300
thing.
Spiritually in the same thing
283
00:20:41,300 --> 00:20:42,600
for your marriage.
Same thing, your kids.
284
00:20:42,900 --> 00:20:45,100
So this year start with
something really simple start on
285
00:20:45,100 --> 00:20:48,600
the inside and go slow tear down
those walls attack the things
286
00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:51,000
but don't give up through the
hard seasons.
287
00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:53,800
Like you're making a difference.
Here's the question.
288
00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:55,800
I want you guys to Think
Through, who do you want to
289
00:20:55,800 --> 00:20:58,100
become the next six to 12
months?
290
00:20:58,500 --> 00:21:01,900
Think About 20-23 by the end of
the year by end of summer?
291
00:21:02,100 --> 00:21:05,200
Who do I want to become for some
you might say man I'll be the
292
00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:07,500
man, God has called me to be on
called a woman, God's calling
293
00:21:07,500 --> 00:21:10,300
me, then I'll be the Family Guy.
I want to be the person who
294
00:21:10,300 --> 00:21:13,700
shows up and it's trustworthy.
Only person that gets clean this
295
00:21:13,700 --> 00:21:15,400
year.
I'm the person that breaks the
296
00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:16,900
addiction of alcohol on the
person.
297
00:21:16,900 --> 00:21:18,700
That is a game changer for a
family.
298
00:21:18,700 --> 00:21:20,800
I want to save some money this
year.
299
00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:22,700
I want to A payoff, part of my
debt.
300
00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:25,600
What, who do you want to become?
You have six to 12 months, you
301
00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:28,300
can pretty much change.
The really course of your family
302
00:21:28,300 --> 00:21:30,700
and your life in this time.
Who do you see yourself
303
00:21:30,700 --> 00:21:32,800
becoming?
And for me, I just look at this
304
00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:34,900
year, I think, man last year
spent a lot of time at the Hope
305
00:21:34,900 --> 00:21:36,100
Center.
A lot of time building things
306
00:21:36,300 --> 00:21:37,500
this year, I'm going to build my
family.
307
00:21:37,500 --> 00:21:40,600
So I'll be the greatest Family
Guy and the world love my family
308
00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:42,700
of my kids.
I'll be that guy that you guys
309
00:21:42,700 --> 00:21:45,000
look at all you guys out there
and you start rolling.
310
00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:46,100
Your eyes.
Every time you start hearing the
311
00:21:46,100 --> 00:21:49,100
stories of what I'm doing.
My family hanging out loving on
312
00:21:49,100 --> 00:21:50,800
them.
You like this guy is ridiculous.
313
00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:53,200
To go on a horse ride with the
horse named Daisy.
314
00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:55,600
We're going to go on a date.
Actually, that's got your main
315
00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:58,300
so he's got us all be, he's got
great stories.
316
00:21:58,300 --> 00:22:00,500
Don't even talk to Scott, he'll
make you feel like a sluggard.
317
00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:03,000
He's just got the he's got
relational use.
318
00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:05,700
I don't know what it is, but I'm
just telling you, I'll be that
319
00:22:05,700 --> 00:22:08,000
guy that loves my family this
year and by the end of the year,
320
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:09,500
I would like me what a family
man.
321
00:22:09,700 --> 00:22:11,400
Now I just spend more time with
my kids.
322
00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:13,000
My family, its leaders, been
little crazy.
323
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:16,400
So I will be a strong leader for
the cause of Christ, push the
324
00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:19,200
needle for with our church and
to seeing God's kingdom being
325
00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:21,700
built here.
So encouraging He's made pick a
326
00:22:21,700 --> 00:22:24,300
word.
What can it be like in six to 12
327
00:22:24,300 --> 00:22:25,800
months.
What's the area that God could
328
00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:26,800
have?
You focus in?
329
00:22:27,100 --> 00:22:29,400
What's that one specific thing?
You say, you know what?
330
00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:32,000
God's will work on this wall.
My heart, there's an area that
331
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:34,100
God is calling me into, and I'm
going to lean into that.
332
00:22:34,100 --> 00:22:35,700
I'm gonna set some goals around
that.
333
00:22:35,700 --> 00:22:37,800
There's a theme that guy's been
working in me.
334
00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:40,600
It's a, it's a Battle Cry, my
life, and they just pick one
335
00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:42,700
single word.
And ask Diane said, what word
336
00:22:42,700 --> 00:22:44,800
would you have between 23?
And she told me the word was
337
00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:47,700
intentional.
She's going to lead by her nose.
338
00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:50,200
She's been just kind of stretch
over Direction, but this year,
339
00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:53,100
it's like, Focus.
In alignment and just really
340
00:22:53,100 --> 00:22:55,300
being careful about her time and
really, where she put your
341
00:22:55,300 --> 00:22:57,800
passing energy.
And for me, I surprised her with
342
00:22:57,800 --> 00:23:00,700
this word, but actually picked
the word Diane because I was
343
00:23:00,700 --> 00:23:03,400
going to spend more time with my
family, really focus on her and
344
00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:07,400
help her grow and develop and
just be there, just encouraging
345
00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:10,300
her and just really strengthen
our family and so not, there's
346
00:23:10,300 --> 00:23:11,700
anything crazy.
It's like a check-up.
347
00:23:11,700 --> 00:23:13,900
Come off, somebody got ya
maintenance, you know change the
348
00:23:13,900 --> 00:23:15,700
oil in the marriage.
Come on somebody, right?
349
00:23:15,700 --> 00:23:17,700
Rotate the tires.
Look under the hood, you know,
350
00:23:17,700 --> 00:23:19,900
it's all about.
And so I'm just telling you I'm
351
00:23:19,900 --> 00:23:22,700
just thinking maybe great year.
Are just really focusing on her
352
00:23:22,700 --> 00:23:25,000
so I don't know where it is for
you, but I encourage you to pick
353
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:27,800
a word and lean into a God has
for you.
354
00:23:27,900 --> 00:23:29,900
The good news is you don't do
perfect.
355
00:23:30,100 --> 00:23:32,900
Yeah, if you eat too much, you
just next day.
356
00:23:32,900 --> 00:23:35,300
Say, hey, I'm starting over.
If you skip a day at the gym,
357
00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:39,100
you don't pick your Bible up.
You make mistake, you lose your
358
00:23:39,100 --> 00:23:40,500
temper.
Well guess what?
359
00:23:40,500 --> 00:23:42,600
You are forgiven, you're not
called be perfect.
360
00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:46,300
You just called the confess and
then let Jesus have it and then
361
00:23:46,300 --> 00:23:48,400
learn and move forward.
So this year, you're going to
362
00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:51,400
stumble the fall forward.
Learn from your You're
363
00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:53,000
stumbling.
Maybe you're trying to save
364
00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:55,500
money and you impulse shop.
Come On Target started speaking.
365
00:23:55,500 --> 00:23:56,900
All you ladies, it's only been
one day.
366
00:23:56,900 --> 00:23:59,200
You did the returns last week.
Now you spend all that money
367
00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:02,400
from the turns again, but the
reality is, hey, just go to
368
00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:03,600
Jesus.
So, you know, I'm starting over
369
00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:06,000
on be disciplined with all those
little pennies.
370
00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:07,100
Now, I want you to think about
this.
371
00:24:07,100 --> 00:24:10,600
This is, this is pretty pretty
special small things add up to
372
00:24:10,608 --> 00:24:12,900
big things.
If I give the option of having
373
00:24:12,900 --> 00:24:16,200
three million dollars right now,
or give you a magical penny that
374
00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:19,900
doubles itself in a value, every
single day for 31 days, which
375
00:24:19,900 --> 00:24:22,500
one you pick?
Now, most people would take the
376
00:24:22,500 --> 00:24:24,900
three million dollars, it's like
man, that's a lot of money, but
377
00:24:24,900 --> 00:24:27,800
the reality is, if you're taking
Penny, it wouldn't really look
378
00:24:27,800 --> 00:24:28,900
like it.
Added up too much.
379
00:24:28,900 --> 00:24:31,400
You look like a fool for the
really the first about 20, 25
380
00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:33,300
days.
You look like complete idiot,
381
00:24:33,500 --> 00:24:36,300
but the reality is all those
little small things, others will
382
00:24:36,300 --> 00:24:38,600
pennies.
They double they add up and
383
00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:40,400
nobody sees it, nobody knows
what's going on.
384
00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:44,400
It's not until the 30th day.
Do you actually make more than
385
00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:47,300
the 3 million dollars?
And by the 31st day, you made
386
00:24:47,300 --> 00:24:51,000
ten point seven million dollars
just by doubling a penny every
387
00:24:51,100 --> 00:24:52,400
Day.
I'm telling you, there's a
388
00:24:52,408 --> 00:24:54,000
little small things you do in
life.
389
00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:57,400
If you don't give up, you will
reap a harvest.
390
00:24:57,400 --> 00:24:59,300
So plant those small stuff.
Do what's right?
391
00:24:59,300 --> 00:25:02,300
Focus in and really tear those
walls that maybe have pulled you
392
00:25:02,300 --> 00:25:04,700
back last year.
Let's have a breakthrough year
393
00:25:04,700 --> 00:25:07,200
in 2023.
I'm excited to launch this new
394
00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:09,100
series.
I'm excited to see what God's
395
00:25:09,100 --> 00:25:10,700
going to do.
I want to invite you back.
396
00:25:10,700 --> 00:25:13,500
One of the small habits you can
have is just showing up as just
397
00:25:13,500 --> 00:25:15,500
being a part of the family of
God, and there's something that
398
00:25:15,508 --> 00:25:17,700
happens right here.
When you hear the word of God,
399
00:25:17,700 --> 00:25:20,400
you get challenged and changed.
And so what is it for you?
400
00:25:20,600 --> 00:25:24,000
What's Your one word this
season, don't get discouraged
401
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:27,000
and you see the water not
boiling and the pennies aren't
402
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:28,800
adding up.
Don't get discouraged because
403
00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:30,200
one day you're going to reap a
harvest.
404
00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:34,200
And so I know you guys are
really faithful to God and I
405
00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:37,200
know God is going to bless you,
continue to follow him work
406
00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:40,400
through those this year, make it
a breakout year and see what God
407
00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:42,500
is going to do.
Probably come before you go.
408
00:25:42,500 --> 00:25:45,200
We thank you so much for really
just changing our lives.
409
00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:46,900
God allowed this year to be a
year.
410
00:25:47,100 --> 00:25:50,400
We're gonna start fresh, we can
just reset the clock.
411
00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:54,400
You can Just wipe away our sins
God and we start over and we
412
00:25:54,400 --> 00:25:56,900
don't have to be ashamed or
walking the season of fear or
413
00:25:56,900 --> 00:25:58,500
worry or doubt.
And so God, I pray, you tear
414
00:25:58,500 --> 00:26:01,500
down some walls in the people
are church that we walk in here
415
00:26:01,500 --> 00:26:05,300
with really less baggage than we
started because we know you and
416
00:26:05,300 --> 00:26:07,400
so God help us to have a year
that we look back on and say,
417
00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:10,200
man, I'm proud of this and even
through small steps, got a
418
00:26:10,208 --> 00:26:11,500
prayed.
There's things that are in our
419
00:26:11,500 --> 00:26:13,500
lives that nobody else could see
that.
420
00:26:13,500 --> 00:26:14,900
You would just do some work in
God.
421
00:26:14,900 --> 00:26:16,500
That you do some heart surgery
today.
422
00:26:16,900 --> 00:26:19,200
Even our lives, we watch this
guy to pray that somebody would
423
00:26:19,200 --> 00:26:22,500
see this and realize Sighs man,
I need Jesus and there's some
424
00:26:22,500 --> 00:26:24,200
things in my life that I've been
putting in front of that.
425
00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:27,600
And so, I'm going to get this in
the right position and re put
426
00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:29,600
Jesus in the seat on the throne
of my life.
427
00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:32,400
So we got to pray for our church
had used it to really be a
428
00:26:32,408 --> 00:26:36,300
breakout church this season.
Go see, Souls changed and people
429
00:26:36,300 --> 00:26:37,900
changed.
And I pray for one more group
430
00:26:37,900 --> 00:26:40,200
people and that's those you that
say, you know what, I need
431
00:26:40,200 --> 00:26:41,600
completely fresh start this
year.
432
00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:44,100
I need something I've never had
before.
433
00:26:44,300 --> 00:26:47,200
I need Jesus and you got to
realize who Jesus is Jesus.
434
00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:50,300
The sinless son of God.
We just celebrate an amazing

For some of you, you need
438

right foot and you needs to come
439
00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:02,400
down to being right with Jesus.
And so, for those you need,
440
00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:05,500
Jesus Bible says this, whoever
believes in him, he confesses
441

with their mouth.
That Jesus Christ died on the
442
00:27:07,308 --> 00:27:10,100
cross for our sins, they'll be
forgiven and made new and stuff.

again next week.
Maybe it's online again.
476
00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:41,000
Maybe you want to come out and
see us in person at Kentucky
477
00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:42,600
Trail.
Well, I just want to encourage
478
00:28:42,600 --> 00:28:44,900
you to make that be your next
small thing.
479
00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:48,800
If you do call real life home,
my encouragement for you is to
480
00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:50,900
go in maybe a little bit, just
making it.
481
00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:53,500
Funny mornings, a full
commitment, maybe instead of
482
00:28:53,500 --> 00:28:56,900
that once a month, maybe you're
coming every single week and
483
00:28:56,900 --> 00:29:00,100
really having that shot in the
arm that just full
484
00:29:00,100 --> 00:29:01,700
transformation to start your
week off.
485
00:29:01,700 --> 00:29:04,800
Strong to see what really God
can do through every single day,
486
00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:08,100
every single week through this
next 2023 season.
487
00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:10,900
That's my encouragement as we
get moving into this next
488
00:29:10,900 --> 00:29:13,000
season.
And again, if you call real life
489
00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:16,100
home, we just want to thank you
guys for being such a generous
490
00:29:16,100 --> 00:29:19,200
church.
This last year, we had a record
491
00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:22,600
breaking numbers and are Giving
and that's all thanks to you
492
00:29:22,600 --> 00:29:26,500
guys making a decision to say
yes to Jesus to say yes to what
493
00:29:26,500 --> 00:29:29,500
he would have you to do this
last year and this next year is
494
00:29:29,500 --> 00:29:32,500
going to be no different if you
guys continue to say yes.
495
00:29:32,500 --> 00:29:34,300
And so that's my encouragement
for you today.
496
00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:37,900
What can we do as a church?
This next year if you decide,
497
00:29:37,900 --> 00:29:40,800
you're going to give as big and
even bigger as you did, this
498
00:29:40,800 --> 00:29:43,600
last year and as we're online
today, there are a couple of
499
00:29:43,600 --> 00:29:47,100
ways that you can do that.
You can text any amount to eight
500
00:29:47,100 --> 00:29:49,000
four, three, two, one.
Or you can also head to our
501
00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:50,800
website to Real Life Church,
Casey?
502
00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:53,800
Dot-com and you can hit the
giving button there if you want
503
00:29:53,800 --> 00:29:57,200
to select it that way as well.

00:29:57,200 --> 00:29:59,800

year with us happy New Year from
505

purpose will see you guys later.

We are so excited that you

00:00:04,800 --> 00:00:08,600
decided to spend your morning
with us and welcome to Church
3
00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:11,400
online.
We are so excited to spend the

00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:14,300
morning with you and you may be
here looking for some positive
5
00:00:14,300 --> 00:00:18,000
news, maybe some encouragement,
maybe a little bit of Hope and I
6
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:20,600
want to tell you have come to
the right place.
7
00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:23,400
I have a feeling that there's
somebody on the other end of
8
00:00:23,400 --> 00:00:26,300
that screen this morning who
just needs to hear used to have
9
00:00:26,300 --> 00:00:30,000
a reminder that we serve a God
who is still active and alive
10
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:33,500
and In our community, a God who
wants a relationship with you
11
00:00:33,700 --> 00:00:37,300
fiercely wants to pursue.
You have a holy spirit who's
12
00:00:37,300 --> 00:00:41,000
working in our life, not just
today, but wants to have success
13
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:44,500
for us all the way through this.
Next 20, 23 season.
14
00:00:45,100 --> 00:00:47,800
I'm so excited for all that God
has in store for us this
15
00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:49,100
morning.
So what we're going to do is
16
00:00:49,100 --> 00:00:52,300
we're going to have a couple of
worship songs right after that.
17
00:00:52,300 --> 00:00:55,000
We're going to have some fun
time for you to connect with us
18
00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:57,100
through the screen.
And then Pastor, Sean is going
19
00:00:57,100 --> 00:01:01,400
to bring us an exciting new
series called Your breakout
20
00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:04,099
year, it is going to be an
amazing morning.
21
00:01:04,099 --> 00:01:06,600
But before we get started with
all of that, let's get started
22
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:10,200
with some awesome worship.
Happy New Year.
23
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:12,000
Real life.

24
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:14,700

So, whatever, wherever you are
25
00:01:14,700 --> 00:01:17,400

26
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:20,200
Stand up kneel down.

With some amazing worship.
28
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:24,900
And so we can't wait to worship
along with you all.

00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:45,400
How great the chasm that lay
between us how high the mountain
30
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:57,600
I could not in desperation, I
turn to and spoke your name.

Into and through the darkness,
your loving, kindness toward

00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:24,000
through the shadows of mine.
Jesus Christ my life
33

What heart could find such
boundless Grace to wear my sin.
34
00:02:52,600 --> 00:03:06,300
And baby has fallen.
The King of Kings calls me.

00:10:56,100 --> 00:10:59,800
a mission and that mission is to
see people who are far from God
76
00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:02,200
discover their real life and
purpose in.
77
00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:05,300
Jesus, and simply put that just
means that we are at church for
78
00:11:05,300 --> 00:11:08,600

96
00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:04,200
Well as we launch into this new
year, I am so excited to pass
97
00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:07,000
off the camera to Pastor Sean as
he launches this brand new
98
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:08,700
series.
It provides you guys with a
99
00:12:08,708 --> 00:12:12,400
little bit of Hope today.
Happy New Year, real life, come
100
00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:18,000
on you made 2023 and I even got
a coffee right here because I
101
00:12:18,008 --> 00:12:22,000
know some of you after last
night needs Some coffee.
102
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:23,900
Come on somebody, but me, I'm
excited.
103
00:12:23,900 --> 00:12:26,200
You guys are with us.
Excited to launch a brand new
104
00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:29,700
year and a really lean into
really a new series called
105
00:12:29,700 --> 00:12:32,800
breakout, and really, it's your
breakout year in 2023.
106
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:35,800
And for some of us last year,
maybe not been the URI wanted,
107
00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:38,800
but this year, I believe God
been praying for God to release
108
00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:41,200
this year, kind of breakthrough.
Maybe some relationships, I
109
00:12:41,208 --> 00:12:43,300
missed some addictions.
Maybe some things in your life
110
00:12:43,300 --> 00:12:47,200
that you're trying to do name a
Jesus, maybe some Souls changed.
111
00:12:47,300 --> 00:12:50,100
Maybe some people coming to
Christ and really honestly maybe
112
00:12:50,100 --> 00:12:53,400
just take off the weight.
And keep it off in Jesus name.
113
00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:56,000
Come on somebody, I'm really
praying for God's kingdom to
114
00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:59,200
come here through you in this
season.
115
00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:02,700
Here's the reality though. 92%
stats.
116
00:13:02,700 --> 00:13:07,700
A of those who make a New Year's
resolution actually fail at the
117
00:13:07,700 --> 00:13:11,600
resolution and Paul went through
this war of the Flesh and the
118
00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:14,100
spirit and really on the inside
the same, we're going to go
119
00:13:14,100 --> 00:13:17,500
through as we launched in this
new year and says this Romans
120
00:13:17,500 --> 00:13:20,500
chapter 7, is this Paul talking?
It says, I don't understand
121
00:13:20,500 --> 00:13:23,700
myself.
For I want to do what is right
122
00:13:23,700 --> 00:13:26,700
but I don't do it instead.
I do what I hate.
123
00:13:26,900 --> 00:13:29,600
I do.
It's not right but I can't I
124
00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:31,500
want to do it's good but I don't
I want to do.
125
00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:33,400
I don't do it's wrong but I do
it anyway.
126
00:13:33,500 --> 00:13:35,700
He says oh what a miserable
person, I am.
127
00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:38,100
Who will free me from the life.
That is dominated by sin and
128
00:13:38,100 --> 00:13:40,600
death.
He says thank God.
129
00:13:40,700 --> 00:13:45,000
The answer is in Jesus Christ,
Our Lord, and this year, we're
130
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:47,300
going to start off.
And we had these goals and is
131
00:13:47,300 --> 00:13:50,400
resolutions, and there's just
War happening on the inside, its
132
00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:53,600
release.
More of the Flesh in the spirit.
133
00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:56,900
And Paul was in this war, nice,
believe those invisible battles.
134
00:13:56,900 --> 00:14:00,200
You have to fight this year.
Will make all the difference as
135
00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:02,700
you lead in 2023.
I know it's easy to start and
136
00:14:02,700 --> 00:14:05,700
state some goals of things that
happen out there and outcomes,
137
00:14:05,900 --> 00:14:07,600
but I want to start out this
year talking about what's
138
00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:10,900
happening right here inside of
our hearts, the invisible walls,
139
00:14:10,900 --> 00:14:13,800
that we battle the visible
voices that are in our heads.
140
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:17,300
And so maybe last year.
There's a lot of maybe ourselves
141
00:14:17,300 --> 00:14:20,600
in last year, maybe is ego and
pride, we're pushing.
142
00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:23,500
It was just maybe He too much of
us or maybe it was the this
143
00:14:23,500 --> 00:14:26,300
invisible Wall of Shame.
These chains are holding us
144
00:14:26,300 --> 00:14:28,900
back, some things that are
spoken over us.
145
00:14:28,900 --> 00:14:31,100
Some thoughts about ourselves
that kept us for having a
146
00:14:31,100 --> 00:14:34,800
breakout year last year.
Maybe it's a visible of fear may
147
00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:37,100
be that worried that's been
keeping us up at night.
148
00:14:37,100 --> 00:14:40,000
Maybe there's a situation or
circumstance or broken
149
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:43,300
relationship and it's just
raining on our souls.
150
00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:47,100
Maybe, there's some distrust
from 2022, maybe last year was
151
00:14:47,100 --> 00:14:50,900
like your biggest year and
isolation and insulation.
152
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:54,200
And Just shut the world out and
completely, and you really need
153
00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:55,600
to start trusting people this
year.
154
00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:57,800
Maybe there's guilt.
That's driving you, or maybe
155
00:14:57,800 --> 00:15:00,700
you're in the comparison trap.
Maybe start believing, I'm not
156
00:15:00,700 --> 00:15:01,700
this.
I'm not that.
157
00:15:01,700 --> 00:15:05,300
And I'm not lovable, and I'm
just helpless and I can't, maybe
158
00:15:05,300 --> 00:15:08,200
you're stuck at the beginning of
this year and so, there's so
159
00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:09,800
many invisible walls.
But here's what I'm start out
160
00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:11,500
this year with.
It's really simple.
161
00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:16,500
I can't, but Jesus can, amen.
I can't.
162
00:15:16,500 --> 00:15:19,800
But Jesus can I'm not good
enough, but Jesus is good and
163
00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:22,700
through Jesus.
He He can tear down the walls on
164
00:15:22,700 --> 00:15:25,900
the inside and so for this to be
a breakout Year, we're not going
165
00:15:25,900 --> 00:15:28,700
to tell it what to do out here.
Let's talk about today what God
166
00:15:28,700 --> 00:15:31,500
can do in here.
What walls does need to tear
167
00:15:31,500 --> 00:15:34,800
down in your life to really set
the foundation to make this one
168
00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:38,300
of your best years yet?
I believe this, it's a small
169
00:15:38,300 --> 00:15:39,700
thing.
It's the invisible things.
170
00:15:39,700 --> 00:15:43,100
The things that no one else sees
that will make the biggest
171
00:15:43,100 --> 00:15:47,800
difference in 2022. 2023 thing,
but every sports team out there.
172
00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:49,200
They'll want to win the
championship.
173
00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:50,900
Come on, they'll be Super Bowl
champs.
174
00:15:50,900 --> 00:15:53,700
So Talk smack online.
Everybody's got their teams and
175
00:15:53,700 --> 00:15:56,600
room for stuff, but we all have
the same goal but what makes a
176
00:15:56,608 --> 00:15:59,100
difference.
It's all the small things.
177
00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:02,000
All those daily things,
invisible things that make the
178
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:04,000
difference at the end.
A think about people's
179
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:07,000
marriages, people have a great
marriage and then you get five,
180
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:10,200
seven, ten, maybe fifteen years
down the road, and you know
181
00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:11,700
what?
They're on opposite sides and
182
00:16:11,900 --> 00:16:14,800
they end up having marriage
fights and all sorts of things,
183
00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:18,200
go off track and the train
crashes, and no one South to do
184
00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:21,100
that, but it's all the small
things we all want.
185
00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:23,100
Have the great things, but so
small things, they were didn't
186
00:16:23,100 --> 00:16:26,200
make the difference.
Those invisible things add up to
187
00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:28,500
be big things.
Here's, I'm talking about, think
188
00:16:28,500 --> 00:16:31,800
about Jesus.
Jesus, often neglected, the
189
00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:35,500
crowd often went away in
solitude, he went away on a side
190
00:16:35,500 --> 00:16:37,700
of a mountain.
He left his disciples by the
191
00:16:37,700 --> 00:16:39,800
campfire and went out by
himself.
192
00:16:39,900 --> 00:16:42,500
He did something that seems so
small but it's so big.
193
00:16:42,500 --> 00:16:45,400
He prayed he spent time alone
with God.
194
00:16:45,500 --> 00:16:48,600
It was his there's a holy spirit
Power, it was a source.
195
00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:52,500
And so for Jesus, for him to get
Can hear words from his father
196
00:16:52,500 --> 00:16:55,300
and the Holy Spirit and build
him up those small things that
197
00:16:55,300 --> 00:16:59,300
consistent had in his life, made
all the difference in the world.
198
00:16:59,300 --> 00:17:01,200
You know what kind of birds
would make for you?
199
00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:03,400
If you were to pray for your
spouse every day?
200
00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:06,099
Well, if you pray for your kids
every day, but if you got her
201
00:17:06,099 --> 00:17:08,000
knees and you said, God used my
life.
202
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:11,099
Today, I'm, I'm yielded to you.
I want you to use me.
203
00:17:11,099 --> 00:17:13,300
God, thank you for my family.
Think for my spouse.
204
00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:15,099
What difference would that make
in your life?
205
00:17:15,099 --> 00:17:19,000
One small thing that make a huge
difference this year.
206
00:17:19,500 --> 00:17:22,400
You know, we don't need to set
out and Put the goal to lose 20
207
00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:25,599
pounds or that we're going to
get more organized or pay off
208
00:17:25,599 --> 00:17:28,200
her credit card debt, or we're
gonna be professional
209
00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:30,700
evangelist.
I would encourage you salt stump
210
00:17:30,700 --> 00:17:33,400
start with something very, very,
very small.
211
00:17:33,500 --> 00:17:34,800
Maybe the beginning of this
year.
212
00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:37,100
Maybe just say, I'm just going
to go outside.
213
00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:40,100
I'm gonna, I'm gonna walk, I'm
just gonna walk three times a
214
00:17:40,100 --> 00:17:42,000
week.
I'm not going to go out with a
215
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:44,400
goal and try lose weight.
I'm just going to start doing
216
00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:47,800
these little tiny things that
maybe you, pray and listen to
217
00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:49,600
God.
We talked about this year, about
218
00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:53,400
chair time, just being Five
Minutes Alone with Jesus.
219
00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:54,900
Maybe your goal is really
simple.
220
00:17:55,100 --> 00:17:57,900
Maybe your goal this year at the
very beginning, the year is just
221
00:17:57,900 --> 00:18:00,500
to pick your Bible up, not even
read it.
222
00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:03,600
Literally just grab it and put
it in your work bag and bring it
223
00:18:03,608 --> 00:18:06,100
with you to work or maybe you
just bring it on the nightstand.
224
00:18:06,100 --> 00:18:08,600
Next to your bed, just pick up
the Bible.
225
00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:11,300
See, like, I believe, 90% of
what you're into this year is
226
00:18:11,300 --> 00:18:15,100
just showing up like if you just
get to the gym, if you just get
227
00:18:15,100 --> 00:18:17,700
to the Bible, I believe that you
have a really good chance of
228
00:18:17,700 --> 00:18:18,900
doing what God has called you to
do.
229
00:18:18,900 --> 00:18:22,500
Just by getting that book in
your, Hands just by getting on
230
00:18:22,500 --> 00:18:24,400
your knees and praying and
asking God, there's a little
231
00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:26,600
small things make all the
difference.
232
00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:27,900
What about this?
Well, if you didn't buy a
233
00:18:27,900 --> 00:18:31,900
coffee, every single day, what
was like every other day, we do
234
00:18:31,900 --> 00:18:34,000
something crazy.
What if you canceled, Netflix,
235
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:35,600
come all somebody.
Maybe.
236
00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:38,400
Maybe save like $100 a month
between Netflix and coffee,
237
00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:39,500
right?
In Jesus name.
238
00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:41,800
I can tell you something small
that's working for die.
239
00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:44,900
And I, we took our TV ad for
bedroom.
240
00:18:45,100 --> 00:18:47,800
Something really small
relocated, you know, talking 30
241
00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:50,700
feet away, and it's changed
changed a lot for us.
242
00:18:50,700 --> 00:18:53,400
So it's The seasons been crazy
at the Hope Center and you get
243
00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:55,300
home and you're just late, it's
like, hey, you know what?
244
00:18:55,300 --> 00:18:57,100
Let's move TV out.
And we turn our bedroom into
245
00:18:57,100 --> 00:19:01,600
place of rest and Recreation.
Come on somebody, she can't keep
246
00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:02,900
her hands off me.
What can I say?
247
00:19:02,900 --> 00:19:05,100
It's a new year.
These guys are trying not to
248
00:19:05,108 --> 00:19:08,900
laugh but their laughs and it's
a real deal right there.
249
00:19:08,900 --> 00:19:12,500
Trying not to its great dying.
When we cut that out bum, keep
250
00:19:12,500 --> 00:19:14,800
it in, right?
But I'm just totally Small
251
00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:17,600
Things, add up to big things.
Think about blowing water, you
252
00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:20,400
try to watch that hot though
that water boil and you're going
253
00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:22,400
to put those noodles.
As in wait, for kids are going
254
00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:24,000
psycho.
Right, and you, waiting and
255
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:26,300
waiting, and waiting, and it
feels like nothing is happening,
256
00:19:26,300 --> 00:19:28,200
right?
But the reality is this, you
257
00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:32,100
don't see anything until it gets
to 212 degrees, but all the way
258
00:19:32,100 --> 00:19:36,300
between that 90° or will be 40
degrees right now, write all
259
00:19:36,300 --> 00:19:39,800
those temperatures to scope one
temperature at a time until you
260
00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:42,800
can find see the results and the
reality is this is it a lot of
261
00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:45,100
shaping, a lot of things that
God is going to do the inside of
262
00:19:45,100 --> 00:19:48,800
you to prepare you before.
Other people, even notice the
263
00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:51,400
difference.
If you're working out you Even
264
00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:54,000
notice a difference in your own
life, until 30 days, then your
265
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:57,000
closest people do in 60, and
then your friends will notice
266
00:19:57,000 --> 00:19:59,400
about 90 days.
The reality is this, those
267
00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:02,300
little small things every day,
those habits, those the way we
268
00:20:02,300 --> 00:20:05,100
see ourselves, make all the
difference in the world.
269
00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:08,500
Moving up one degree at a time.
So I believe this in Galatians
270
00:20:08,500 --> 00:20:10,100
6:9.
This we have to do.
271
00:20:10,100 --> 00:20:12,100
It says this.
Let us not be weary in doing
272
00:20:12,100 --> 00:20:16,000
good for at the proper time, we
will reap a harvest.
273
00:20:16,100 --> 00:20:20,400
If we do not give up.
The reality is most people don't
274
00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:23,700
see the fruit of their labor.
There's not a microwave
275
00:20:23,700 --> 00:20:26,700
Christianity and so as you start
this, your app, you just do the
276
00:20:26,700 --> 00:20:29,700
things, you know, are the right
things to do follow God, those
277
00:20:29,700 --> 00:20:33,200
small little areas, but don't
give up, it's hard, you don't
278
00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:34,700
see the fruit.
You don't see the results, you
279
00:20:34,708 --> 00:20:36,200
don't see all the things you
want to see.
280
00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:38,000
You don't look in the mirror
and, like, wow, I'm changed
281
00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:40,000
overnight.
When you work out, it's the same
282
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:41,300
thing.
Spiritually in the same thing
283
00:20:41,300 --> 00:20:42,600
for your marriage.
Same thing, your kids.
284
00:20:42,900 --> 00:20:45,100
So this year start with
something really simple start on
285
00:20:45,100 --> 00:20:48,600
the inside and go slow tear down
those walls attack the things
286
00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:51,000
but don't give up through the
hard seasons.
287
00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:53,800
Like you're making a difference.
Here's the question.
288
00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:55,800
I want you guys to Think
Through, who do you want to
289
00:20:55,800 --> 00:20:58,100
become the next six to 12
months?
290
00:20:58,500 --> 00:21:01,900
Think About 20-23 by the end of
the year by end of summer?
291
00:21:02,100 --> 00:21:05,200
Who do I want to become for some
you might say man I'll be the
292
00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:07,500
man, God has called me to be on
called a woman, God's calling
293
00:21:07,500 --> 00:21:10,300
me, then I'll be the Family Guy.
I want to be the person who
294
00:21:10,300 --> 00:21:13,700
shows up and it's trustworthy.
Only person that gets clean this
295
00:21:13,700 --> 00:21:15,400
year.
I'm the person that breaks the
296
00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:16,900
addiction of alcohol on the
person.
297
00:21:16,900 --> 00:21:18,700
That is a game changer for a
family.
298
00:21:18,700 --> 00:21:20,800
I want to save some money this
year.
299
00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:22,700
I want to A payoff, part of my
debt.
300
00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:25,600
What, who do you want to become?
You have six to 12 months, you
301
00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:28,300
can pretty much change.
The really course of your family
302
00:21:28,300 --> 00:21:30,700
and your life in this time.
Who do you see yourself
303
00:21:30,700 --> 00:21:32,800
becoming?
And for me, I just look at this
304
00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:34,900
year, I think, man last year
spent a lot of time at the Hope
305
00:21:34,900 --> 00:21:36,100
Center.
A lot of time building things
306
00:21:36,300 --> 00:21:37,500
this year, I'm going to build my
family.
307
00:21:37,500 --> 00:21:40,600
So I'll be the greatest Family
Guy and the world love my family
308
00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:42,700

I'll be that guy that you guys
309
00:21:42,700 --> 00:21:45,000
look at all you guys out there
and you start rolling.
310
00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:46,100
Your eyes.
Every time you start hearing the
311
00:21:46,100 --> 00:21:49,100
stories of what I'm doing.
My family hanging out loving on
312
00:21:49,100 --> 00:21:50,800
them.
You like this guy is ridiculous.
313
00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:53,200
To go on a horse ride with the
horse named Daisy.
314
00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:55,600
We're going to go on a date.
Actually, that's got your main
315
00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:58,300
so he's got us all be, he's got
great stories.
316
00:21:58,300 --> 00:22:00,500
Don't even talk to Scott, he'll
make you feel like a sluggard.
317
00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:03,000
He's just got the he's got
relational use.
318
00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:05,700
I don't know what it is, but I'm
just telling you, I'll be that
319
00:22:05,700 --> 00:22:08,000
guy that loves my family this
year and by the end of the year,
320
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:09,500
I would like me what a family
man.
321
00:22:09,700 --> 00:22:11,400
Now I just spend more time with
my kids.
322
00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:13,000
My family, its leaders, been
little crazy.
323
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:16,400
So I will be a strong leader for
the cause of Christ, push the
324
00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:19,200
needle for with our church and
to seeing God's kingdom being
325
00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:21,700
built here.
So encouraging He's made pick a
326
00:22:21,700 --> 00:22:24,300
word.
What can it be like in six to 12
327
00:22:24,300 --> 00:22:25,800
months.
What's the area that God could
328
00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:26,800
have?
You focus in?
329
00:22:27,100 --> 00:22:29,400
What's that one specific thing?
You say, you know what?
330
00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:32,000
God's will work on this wall.
My heart, there's an area that
331
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:34,100
God is calling me into, and I'm
going to lean into that.
332
00:22:34,100 --> 00:22:35,700
I'm gonna set some goals around
that.
333
00:22:35,700 --> 00:22:37,800
There's a theme that guy's been
working in me.
334
00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:40,600
It's a, it's a Battle Cry, my
life, and they just pick one
335
00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:42,700
single word.
And ask Diane said, what word
336
00:22:42,700 --> 00:22:44,800
would you have between 23?
And she told me the word was
337
00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:47,700
intentional.
She's going to lead by her nose.
338
00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:50,200
She's been just kind of stretch
over Direction, but this year,
339
00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:53,100
it's like, Focus.
In alignment and just really
340
00:22:53,100 --> 00:22:55,300
being careful about her time and
really, where she put your
341
00:22:55,300 --> 00:22:57,800
passing energy.
And for me, I surprised her with
342
00:22:57,800 --> 00:23:00,700
this word, but actually picked
the word Diane because I was
343
00:23:00,700 --> 00:23:03,400
going to spend more time with my
family, really focus on her and
344
00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:07,400
help her grow and develop and
just be there, just encouraging
345
00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:10,300
her and just really strengthen
our family and so not, there's
346
00:23:10,300 --> 00:23:11,700
anything crazy.
It's like a check-up.
347
00:23:11,700 --> 00:23:13,900
Come off, somebody got ya
maintenance, you know change the
348
00:23:13,900 --> 00:23:15,700
oil in the marriage.
Come on somebody, right?
349
00:23:15,700 --> 00:23:17,700
Rotate the tires.
Look under the hood, you know,
350
00:23:17,700 --> 00:23:19,900
it's all about.
And so I'm just telling you I'm
351
00:23:19,900 --> 00:23:22,700
just thinking maybe great year.
Are just really focusing on her
352
00:23:22,700 --> 00:23:25,000
so I don't know where it is for
you, but I encourage you to pick
353
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:27,800
a word and lean into a God has
for you.
354
00:23:27,900 --> 00:23:29,900
The good news is you don't do
perfect.
355
00:23:30,100 --> 00:23:32,900
Yeah, if you eat too much, you
just next day.
356
00:23:32,900 --> 00:23:35,300
Say, hey, I'm starting over.
If you skip a day at the gym,
357
00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:39,100
you don't pick your Bible up.
You make mistake, you lose your
358
00:23:39,100 --> 00:23:40,500
temper.
Well guess what?
359
00:23:40,500 --> 00:23:42,600
You are forgiven, you're not
called be perfect.
360
00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:46,300
You just called the confess and
then let Jesus have it and then
361
00:23:46,300 --> 00:23:48,400
learn and move forward.
So this year, you're going to
362
00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:51,400
stumble the fall forward.
Learn from your You're
363
00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:53,000
stumbling.
Maybe you're trying to save
364
00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:55,500
money and you impulse shop.
Come On Target started speaking.
365
00:23:55,500 --> 00:23:56,900
All you ladies, it's only been
one day.
366
00:23:56,900 --> 00:23:59,200
You did the returns last week.
Now you spend all that money
367
00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:02,400
from the turns again, but the
reality is, hey, just go to
368
00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:03,600
Jesus.
So, you know, I'm starting over
369
00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:06,000
on be disciplined with all those
little pennies.
370
00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:07,100
Now, I want you to think about
this.
371
00:24:07,100 --> 00:24:10,600
This is, this is pretty pretty
special small things add up to
372
00:24:10,608 --> 00:24:12,900
big things.
If I give the option of having
373
00:24:12,900 --> 00:24:16,200
three million dollars right now,
or give you a magical penny that
374
00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:19,900
doubles itself in a value, every
single day for 31 days, which
375
00:24:19,900 --> 00:24:22,500
one you pick?
Now, most people would take the
376
00:24:22,500 --> 00:24:24,900
three million dollars, it's like
man, that's a lot of money, but
377
00:24:24,900 --> 00:24:27,800
the reality is, if you're taking
Penny, it wouldn't really look
378
00:24:27,800 --> 00:24:28,900
like it.
Added up too much.
379
00:24:28,900 --> 00:24:31,400
You look like a fool for the
really the first about 20, 25
380
00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:33,300
days.
You look like complete idiot,
381
00:24:33,500 --> 00:24:36,300
but the reality is all those
little small things, others will
382
00:24:36,300 --> 00:24:38,600
pennies.
They double they add up and
383
00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:40,400
nobody sees it, nobody knows
what's going on.
384
00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:44,400
It's not until the 30th day.
Do you actually make more than
385
00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:47,300
the 3 million dollars?
And by the 31st day, you made
386
00:24:47,300 --> 00:24:51,000
ten point seven million dollars
just by doubling a penny every
387
00:24:51,100 --> 00:24:52,400
Day.
I'm telling you, there's a
388
00:24:52,408 --> 00:24:54,000
little small things you do in
life.
389
00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:57,400
If you don't give up, you will
reap a harvest.
390
00:24:57,400 --> 00:24:59,300
So plant those small stuff.
Do what's right?
391
00:24:59,300 --> 00:25:02,300
Focus in and really tear those
walls that maybe have pulled you
392
00:25:02,300 --> 00:25:04,700
back last year.
Let's have a breakthrough year
393
00:25:04,700 --> 00:25:07,200
in 2023.
I'm excited to launch this new
394
00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:09,100
series.
I'm excited to see what God's
395
00:25:09,100 --> 00:25:10,700
going to do.
I want to invite you back.
396
00:25:10,700 --> 00:25:13,500
One of the small habits you can
have is just showing up as just
397
00:25:13,500 --> 00:25:15,500
being a part of the family of
God, and there's something that
398
00:25:15,508 --> 00:25:17,700
happens right here.
When you hear the word of God,
399
00:25:17,700 --> 00:25:20,400
you get challenged and changed.
And so what is it for you?
400
00:25:20,600 --> 00:25:24,000
What's Your one word this
season, don't get discouraged
401
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:27,000
and you see the water not
boiling and the pennies aren't
402
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:28,800
adding up.
Don't get discouraged because
403
00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:30,200
one day you're going to reap a
harvest.
404
00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:34,200
And so I know you guys are
really faithful to God and I
405
00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:37,200
know God is going to bless you,
continue to follow him work
406
00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:40,400
through those this year, make it
a breakout year and see what God
407
00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:42,500
is going to do.
Probably come before you go.
408
00:25:42,500 --> 00:25:45,200
We thank you so much for really
just changing our lives.
409
00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:46,900
God allowed this year to be a
year.
410
00:25:47,100 --> 00:25:50,400
We're gonna start fresh, we can
just reset the clock.
411
00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:54,400
You can Just wipe away our sins
God and we start over and we
412
00:25:54,400 --> 00:25:56,900
don't have to be ashamed or
walking the season of fear or
413
00:25:56,900 --> 00:25:58,500
worry or doubt.
And so God, I pray, you tear
414
00:25:58,500 --> 00:26:01,500
down some walls in the people
are church that we walk in here
415
00:26:01,500 --> 00:26:05,300
with really less baggage than we
started because we know you and
416
00:26:05,300 --> 00:26:07,400
so God help us to have a year
that we look back on and say,
417
00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:10,200
man, I'm proud of this and even
through small steps, got a
418
00:26:10,208 --> 00:26:11,500
prayed.
There's things that are in our
419
00:26:11,500 --> 00:26:13,500
lives that nobody else could see
that.
420
00:26:13,500 --> 00:26:14,900
You would just do some work in
God.
421
00:26:14,900 --> 00:26:16,500
That you do some heart surgery
today.
422
00:26:16,900 --> 00:26:19,200
Even our lives, we watch this
guy to pray that somebody would
423
00:26:19,200 --> 00:26:22,500
see this and realize Sighs man,
I need Jesus and there's some
424
00:26:22,500 --> 00:26:24,200
things in my life that I've been
putting in front of that.
425
00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:27,600
And so, I'm going to get this in
the right position and re put
426
00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:29,600
Jesus in the seat on the throne
of my life.
427
00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:32,400
So we got to pray for our church
had used it to really be a
428
00:26:32,408 --> 00:26:36,300
breakout church this season.
Go see, Souls changed and people
429
00:26:36,300 --> 00:26:37,900
changed.
And I pray for one more group
430
00:26:37,900 --> 00:26:40,200
people and that's those you that
say, you know what, I need
431
00:26:40,200 --> 00:26:41,600
completely fresh start this
year.
432
00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:44,100
I need something I've never had
before.
433
00:26:44,300 --> 00:26:47,200
I need Jesus and you got to
realize who Jesus is Jesus.
434
00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:50,300

00:26:56,600 --> 00:26:59,600
started this year out on the
right foot and you needs to come
439
00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:02,400
down to being right with Jesus.
And so, for those you need,
440
00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:05,500
Jesus Bible says this, whoever
believes in him, he confesses
441
00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:07,300
with their mouth.
That Jesus Christ died on the
442
00:27:07,308 --> 00:27:10,100
cross for our sins, they'll be
forgiven and made new and stuff.
443
00:27:10,100 --> 00:27:12,300
You need to be made new.
Today, I want to encourage you
444
00:27:12,308 --> 00:27:15,000
to pray this prayer with me and
ask Jesus to save you from your
445
00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:16,200
sin.
They finally got.
446
00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:19,800
Thanks so much for sending
Jesus, sending your best to die
447
00:27:19,800 --> 00:27:21,400
on a cross.
Or me?
448
00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:23,700
Yeah, you can have my life got
on this year to be a year.
449
00:27:23,700 --> 00:27:26,000
That's all about you guys.
And I want to use you.
450
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:27,800
Use my life, how you see?
Fit got.
451
00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:29,400
Thank you for sending this
message.
452
00:27:29,500 --> 00:27:32,700
Across my screen, you can change
my life and praise in Jesus
453
00:27:32,700 --> 00:27:34,000
name.
Amen.
454
00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:36,100
Come on, real life.
Lift up the hearts, put the
455
00:27:36,108 --> 00:27:37,500
likes, let people know you love
them.
456
00:27:37,500 --> 00:27:42,700
They came to Christ today and
happy New Year that prayer that
457
00:27:42,700 --> 00:27:46,800
you just prayed is not the end.
But it's actually the beginning
458
00:27:46,800 --> 00:27:49,700
of you starting this incredible
journey with Jesus and we want
459
00:27:49,700 --> 00:27:50,900
to make sure that you're not
doing.
460
00:27:51,100 --> 00:27:54,200
Not alone.
We are so excited for you and
461
00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:57,400
want to provide you with a next
step to help you get started on
462
00:27:57,400 --> 00:28:00,200
this journey.
And that next step is to text RL
463
00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:02,800
next to 97,000.
And what that's going to do is
464
00:28:02,800 --> 00:28:05,000
just kind of a ride you with
some resources, as well as get
465
00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:08,400
you connected with a member of
our team, who can just help you
466
00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:10,900
to figure out what's next?
And we can be with you every
467
00:28:10,900 --> 00:28:14,300
step of the way on this exciting
and brand-new decision evening
468
00:28:14,300 --> 00:28:16,800
to follow.
Jesus and Pastor Sean talk
469
00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:21,500
today, all about this idea of
how we don't have to hit 20. 23
470
00:28:21,500 --> 00:28:25,100
going in all the way you can
start with these small things
471
00:28:25,100 --> 00:28:27,800
that can ultimately make a
really big impact.
472
00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:30,200
And if you're new with us today
at this is your first time
473
00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:33,000
checking us out online.
My encouragement for you today
474
00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:36,200
is maybe that next small thing
for you is to just check us out
475
00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:38,200
again next week.
Maybe it's online again.
476
00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:41,000
Maybe you want to come out and
see us in person at Kentucky
477
00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:42,600
Trail.
Well, I just want to encourage
478
00:28:42,600 --> 00:28:44,900
you to make that be your next
small thing.
479
00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:48,800
If you do call real life home,
my encouragement for you is to
480
00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:50,900
go in maybe a little bit, just
making it.
481
00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:53,500
Funny mornings, a full
commitment, maybe instead of
482
00:28:53,500 --> 00:28:56,900
that once a month, maybe you're
coming every single week and
483
00:28:56,900 --> 00:29:00,100
really having that shot in the
arm that just full
484
00:29:00,100 --> 00:29:01,700
transformation to start your
week off.
485
00:29:01,700 --> 00:29:04,800
Strong to see what really God
can do through every single day,
486
00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:08,100
every single week through this
next 2023 season.
487
00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:10,900
That's my encouragement as we
get moving into this next
488
00:29:10,900 --> 00:29:13,000
season.
And again, if you call real life
489
00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:16,100
home, we just want to thank you
guys for being such a generous
490
00:29:16,100 --> 00:29:19,200
church.
This last year, we had a record
491
00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:22,600
breaking numbers and are Giving
and that's all thanks to you
492
00:29:22,600 --> 00:29:26,500
guys making a decision to say
yes to Jesus to say yes to what
493
00:29:26,500 --> 00:29:29,500
he would have you to do this
last year and this next year is
494
00:29:29,500 --> 00:29:32,500
going to be no different if you
guys continue to say yes.
495
00:29:32,500 --> 00:29:34,300
And so that's my encouragement
for you today.
496
00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:37,900
What can we do as a church?
This next year if you decide,
497
00:29:37,900 --> 00:29:40,800
you're going to give as big and
even bigger as you did, this
498
00:29:40,800 --> 00:29:43,600
last year and as we're online
today, there are a couple of
499
00:29:43,600 --> 00:29:47,100
ways that you can do that.
You can text any amount to eight
500
00:29:47,100 --> 00:29:49,000
four, three, two, one.
Or you can also head to our
501
00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:50,800
website to Real Life Church,
Casey?
502
00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:53,800
Dot-com and you can hit the
giving button there if you want
503
00:29:53,800 --> 00:29:57,200
to select it that way as well.
Again we want to say thank you
504
00:29:57,200 --> 00:29:59,800
as a church or spending your new
year with us happy New Year from
505
00:29:59,800 --> 00:30:02,700
us to you.
And as always clever finds,
506
00:30:02,700 --> 00:30:06,000
Jesus discovers real life and
purpose will see you guys later.
