The Grace You’ve Been Looking For - Grateful

1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:01,960
Hey, good morning, real life
church.

2
00:00:01,960 --> 00:00:05,800
How you doing this morning, man?
Stand to your feet and let's

3
00:00:05,800 --> 00:00:08,760
worship together.
I invite you just to sing out

4
00:00:08,760 --> 00:00:12,040
this morning.
Get those hands going, have some

5
00:00:12,040 --> 00:00:18,880
fun today.
And I was buried beneath my

6
00:00:18,880 --> 00:00:27,800
shame.
Who could carry that kind of

7
00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:37,000
way?
It was my tune till I met you.

8
00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:38,960
Yeah.
Let's get those hands going.

9
00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:43,320
Come on, join me.
And I was breathing, but not

10
00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:54,920
alive.
All my failures I tried to hide.

11
00:00:57,360 --> 00:01:05,200
It was my tune till I met you.
Lift this up.

12
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:08,400
You called my.
Name.

13
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:19,320
And I ran out of that grave, out
of the darkness into your

14
00:01:19,320 --> 00:01:25,480
glorious day.
You Call My Name.

15
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:36,800
And I ran out of that rain, out
of the darkness into your

16
00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:40,400
glorious day.
You sound good, Church.

17
00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:43,600
Keep those hands going and lift
it up to him.

18
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:45,360
Come on.
Now your mercy.

19
00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:51,520
Now your mercy has saved my
soul.

20
00:01:54,800 --> 00:02:00,240
Now your freedom is all that I
know.

21
00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:09,680
The old menu.
Jesus, when I met you, woah,

22
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:15,480
what a day.
When you called my name and I

23
00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:24,480
ran out of that grave.
Out of the darkness into your

24
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:30,200
glorious day.
You called my name.

25
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:42,640
And I ran out of that grave.
Out of the darkness the to your

26
00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:45,480
glorious day.
Yeah, there we go.

27
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:53,470
Man, I love.
This part, it just reminds me of

28
00:02:53,470 --> 00:02:56,190
my own story, and maybe it
reminds you of yours too.

29
00:02:56,510 --> 00:02:58,590
So let's reflect and sing this
together.

30
00:02:59,470 --> 00:03:03,000
Goes like this.
I needed rescue.

31
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:07,760
My sin was heavy.
But chains break out the way to

32
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:11,800
your glory.
I needed shelter.

33
00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:17,200
I was an orphan.
Now you call me a citizen of

34
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:21,520
heaven.
When I was broken, you were my

35
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:24,640
healing.
Now your love is.

36
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:29,240
And then I'm breathing.
I have a future.

37
00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:33,840
My eyes are open, 'cause when
you called my dad, come on,

38
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:38,520
shout at church, I ran out of
that grave.

39
00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:45,320
Amen.
Out of the darkness to your

40
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:54,400
glorious day.
You called my day and I ran out

41
00:03:54,520 --> 00:04:02,920
of that grave.
Out of of the darkness into your

42
00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:06,160
glorious day.
Come on, real life church.

43
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:07,680
Do you believe that this
morning?

44
00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:10,600
Is that your story?
Did he call you out of that

45
00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:12,280
grave?
Did he call you out of that pit

46
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:14,960
to give him some glory today?
It's a glorious day.

47
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:18,600
Come on, let him hear him.
Come on, let him hear you pray.

48
00:04:19,959 --> 00:04:22,880
Come on, there we go.
What a way to start a morning,

49
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:25,200
baby.
Give praise back to God.

50
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:28,360
Well, hey, thank you so much for
being here today, for worshiping

51
00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:30,360
with us this morning.
We're so glad that you chose to

52
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:32,680
spend your morning right here
with us.

53
00:04:32,840 --> 00:04:34,960
You are newer with us.
Thanks so much for coming.

54
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:37,080
We also have a group joining us
online.

55
00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:39,120
Can we give them some claps
here?

56
00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:41,320
Let them know we love them.
Thanks so much for joining us as

57
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:43,040
well.
Hey, before you guys take a

58
00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:46,920
seat, take about 30 seconds, say
hey, give a high 5A handshake, a

59
00:04:46,920 --> 00:05:17,840
hug, and then take a seat.
Right.

60
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:31,520
Well, hey, if you are newer with
us, if this is your first Sunday

61
00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:35,320
here at Real Life Church, thank
you so much for being here, man.

62
00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:37,600
We would love for you just to
introduce yourself to us.

63
00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:40,640
You can drop that, do that by
grabbing that connection card

64
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:43,040
that's on your seats.
Just fill out your information

65
00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:44,200
there.
You can take it to the new here

66
00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:46,640
booth when you leave.
Just our way, turn that in

67
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:48,000
somebody to get you a free gift
there.

68
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:49,040
Just our way of saying thank
you.

69
00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:51,800
But we would love for you just
to introduce yourself to us here

70
00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:54,240
at Real Life Church.
And here in Real Life, we are a

71
00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:58,120
church on a mission and that
mission is to see people far

72
00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:02,000
from God discover their real
life and purpose in Jesus.

73
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:05,240
I mean, we see that weekend in,
week out, we had three people

74
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:07,680
raise their hands to commit
their lives to Jesus last week,

75
00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:10,040
which is so huge.
And that's why we do it, to see

76
00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:12,160
the prodigal come home, to see
the lost be found.

77
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:16,560
And we are just so glad that you
joined us here on mission today.

78
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:21,320
Hey, this Thanksgiving season
and we are slowing down and

79
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:24,400
discovering all the what
gratefulness is in our life.

80
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:28,160
And really gratefulness is more
than just saying thank you.

81
00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:31,720
It's more than just a reaction.
It's really about discovering

82
00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:34,680
grace in every corner in every
season of your life.

83
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:37,760
And if you think about just
that, Jesus gave thanks just

84
00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:40,600
moments before the cross.
And then in our own lives,

85
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:43,720
learning how to sing and how to
worship through the struggle and

86
00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:46,280
through the battle.
And so in this two week series,

87
00:06:46,280 --> 00:06:48,840
we're really going to dive in to
learn that gratefulness is more

88
00:06:48,840 --> 00:06:53,480
than just a reaction, but it
truly is a far better way of

89
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:56,200
life.
So join me in welcoming Pastor

90
00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:58,480
Sean Petrie up to the stage.
He's going to give us a word

91
00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:04,480
today.
Good morning, guys.

92
00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:07,600
Dude, today is going to be an
amazing day.

93
00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:11,880
Today is Communion Sunday, so
it's a little different than

94
00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:13,320
most Sundays.
Really.

95
00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:16,400
Spend some time reflecting on
what the Lord's done, and I'll

96
00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:18,880
say the flow's going to be a
little different today.

97
00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:22,480
If you haven't figured out, we
just did one song, right instead

98
00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:24,280
of three.
So we're going to flip the

99
00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:27,920
script and really lead into
communion after the message.

100
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:31,720
And then it's amazing in the
scripture they did communion and

101
00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:35,240
then they worship through song.
And so we're going to sing at

102
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:36,400
the end.
Amen.

103
00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:39,720
And get the Spirit moving, man,
I'll tell you, worship after the

104
00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:41,800
message, worship after communion
it it's going to be very

105
00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:44,040
heartfelt today.
I would encourage you with that.

106
00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:46,320
A lot of times some of you guys
sneak out and after I'm done

107
00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:49,440
preaching, if you do, you're
going to miss out on communion

108
00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:51,560
and some great worship, even
through generosity.

109
00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:54,000
So I'd encourage you guys, man,
to lean in and stay throughout

110
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:56,120
the whole day on this.
Celebrate a few things.

111
00:07:56,120 --> 00:08:00,480
One last week, commitment
Sunday, Come on, somebody.

112
00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:06,960
It is amazing as a church, as a
family to do things in unity and

113
00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:08,960
do things together.
And last week was not an

114
00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:11,880
exception.
It was so humbling as a pastor

115
00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:14,280
and a leader for the cause of
Christ to watch so many of you

116
00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:19,160
guys dive in and say, yes, let's
do this in faith for God's

117
00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:21,600
doing.
I'm not revealing a number yet.

118
00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:24,480
And y'all look, what's the
number, pastor?

119
00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:27,800
But on the 14th, we're going to
walk through what the Lord has

120
00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:30,160
asked us to do together.
So I would encourage you guys

121
00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:32,000
play part of the story.
Maybe you were here last week or

122
00:08:32,159 --> 00:08:33,760
I saw some people took cards and
say, hey, I'm going to pray

123
00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:35,200
about this.
I would encourage you guys.

124
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:37,919
It's going to take all of us to
accomplish what God's asking us

125
00:08:37,919 --> 00:08:39,960
to do.
Do you guys remember our number

126
00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:45,760
one goal, the primary goal?
You guys remember 100%

127
00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:49,720
participation.
And so we need everybody to lock

128
00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:52,160
hands and join this.
And it's really just you ask the

129
00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:54,560
Lord, It's not me asking you,
but it's ask the Lord.

130
00:08:54,560 --> 00:08:56,400
How can you play a part of it?
You know, we've been portable

131
00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:58,920
for eight years.
I believe God has called us into

132
00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:01,000
a permanent home and just step
out in faith.

133
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:02,960
And so if you did not turn a
cartoon yet and maybe you're

134
00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:05,440
online as well, there's a
digital commit commitment card

135
00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:07,000
online.
I'll say thank you guys as well

136
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:08,920
who did that?
But I would encourage you guys

137
00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:11,040
to play a part of the story that
God has you to write.

138
00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:14,040
There's be something very
special one day when we open a

139
00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:17,240
facility and God moves us and
that I sowed seeds in that.

140
00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:21,600
And so it's not about the mount,
it's about us doing it together

141
00:09:21,680 --> 00:09:22,960
for the Lord.
And so I would encourage you

142
00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:25,520
guys, there's commitment cards
on the seeds there.

143
00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:27,040
There's plenty of room for us to
step in.

144
00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:31,280
I think we had 58 families and
people commit together, which is

145
00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:33,080
absolutely amazing.
Can you give up those 58 people?

146
00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:39,160
Amen families?
And it's significant, but also

147
00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:42,560
there is more than 58 families
in our church, Amen.

148
00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:45,120
And it's something significant.
We do this together.

149
00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:47,200
So I would encourage you guys if
you want to know more about it,

150
00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:49,560
you can take the book out front
or go online to our difference

151
00:09:49,560 --> 00:09:52,720
maker website.
But play part of the story Today

152
00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:56,000
we jump into a series, a little
mini series called grateful,

153
00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:59,080
obviously Thanksgiving this
week, Amen.

154
00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:02,320
Some of y'all set don't set your
goals for next year's weight

155
00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:04,160
till after this week.
You know what I mean?

156
00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:05,680
Like it's gonna start roll you
out of the house on

157
00:10:05,680 --> 00:10:08,200
Thanksgiving.
But grateful comes from a word

158
00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:11,120
Aladdin, which is great us.
And that's where you get the

159
00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:13,120
English word grace, which is
really amazing.

160
00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:16,240
I think that gratitude and grace
go together so well, and we're

161
00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:19,400
going to talk about that today.
Even the word gratuity comes out

162
00:10:19,560 --> 00:10:21,960
of gratitude and grace, a gift
freely given.

163
00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:25,840
And so to be grateful is to be
full of grace.

164
00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:30,840
It's to be full of Thanksgiving
for the unmerited favor really

165
00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:33,760
of God and the blessings he
gives in our life.

166
00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:36,360
And so we're going to dive in
just like this concept and it's

167
00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:39,600
going to be just eye opening for
so many of us today.

168
00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:42,480
And I experienced this even as a
pastor, even this last week with

169
00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:45,040
our with our commitment Sunday.
This is overwhelmingly like,

170
00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:47,520
thank you, Lord for moving in
our people.

171
00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:51,400
It is extremely exciting and
encouraging as a pastor and

172
00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:54,600
leader, especially when we have
a vision that when people say

173
00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:56,680
I'm behind that and I believe in
that.

174
00:10:56,680 --> 00:10:59,280
So I'm very grateful for each of
you that are playing a part of

175
00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:00,080
the story.
Amen.

176
00:11:00,680 --> 00:11:03,840
It just means so, so much to me.
And last week we commissioned

177
00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:07,360
this Sunday out dying read a
scripture from Psalm 20.

178
00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:11,280
And I, I learned this a few
years back, but Psalm 20 and

179
00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:13,840
Psalm 21 are basically married
together.

180
00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:16,640
They're they're two different
Psalms, but they're together.

181
00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:19,960
And the way David did it is he
wrote Psalm 20 because it was a

182
00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:23,600
Psalm that declared deliverance
and victory that was to come to

183
00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:25,840
go into a battle.
And I told Diane said, if we

184
00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:28,120
ever go into season where we're
going to step into a battle,

185
00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:30,480
we're going to step into
something to require a lot of

186
00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:32,520
faith.
And we don't Sure, the outcome

187
00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:35,920
is going to be really bold.
Like I'm going to declare Psalm

188
00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:39,640
20 over myself and this church.
And I knew at the end of the

189
00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:42,720
day, Psalm 21 is coming.
And so I just want to just give

190
00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:45,800
you a little picture of what
this looks like and this the

191
00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:48,040
gratitude even that you see in
this Scripture and it'll lead

192
00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:50,360
all together.
But Psalm 20, this is from

193
00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:52,280
David.
Before a battle, they would sing

194
00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:55,160
this in the temple.
So just listen to these words he

195
00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:56,680
says.
May the Lord answer you when

196
00:11:56,680 --> 00:11:58,560
you're in distress.
It's a good prayer.

197
00:11:58,560 --> 00:12:00,800
Amen.
May the name of your God of

198
00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:03,760
Jacob do what?
Yeah, protect you.

199
00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:05,800
That's a good prayer when your
back against the wall.

200
00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:08,200
It's a good prayer when you
don't know how, if it's going to

201
00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:09,960
turn out your way.
But the Lord protect us.

202
00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:11,920
The God of Jacob, by the way, he
said he'd never leave him,

203
00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:13,280
forsake him.
That's where they came from.

204
00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:14,680
It's not a New Testament
scripture.

205
00:12:14,680 --> 00:12:18,040
It's quoted by Jesus from what
God told Jacob says, may I send

206
00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:20,480
you help from the sanctuary and
grant your support in Zion.

207
00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:24,280
May he remember all your
sacrifices and accept your burnt

208
00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:26,240
offerings.
May may he remember your

209
00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:28,560
faithfulness and what you did
well.

210
00:12:28,560 --> 00:12:32,800
He just bless you, says, may
give you the desire of your what

211
00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:37,960
your heart and make all your
plans succeed.

212
00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:41,120
I love that.
You know, sometimes the heart is

213
00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:43,880
an interesting thing because the
Bible says the heart's wicked

214
00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:47,040
beyond deceit, right?
A righteous heart, a heart

215
00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:51,280
that's aligned with God's will.
God gives us those desires and

216
00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:53,960
God answers and says, God answer
our prayer.

217
00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:58,360
And he says, may we shout for
your joy, for your victory and

218
00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:01,800
lift up our banners in the name
of our God.

219
00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:04,520
I'm telling you man, there's
going to be a day and it's not

220
00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:07,640
just for our church like a
building, but there's seasons in

221
00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:09,760
your life, you win battles and
there's a banner that's put up.

222
00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:11,800
This is only Jesus could do
this.

223
00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:14,120
You ever been in that moment
where you're praising and you're

224
00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:17,200
weeping like there's there's a
season for that and I think

225
00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:18,720
there's a season for us in a
space as well.

226
00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:22,760
Like they'll be banners in
celebration with the Lord has

227
00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:24,640
done.
May the Lord grant all your

228
00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:27,480
requests.
Now this I know the Lord gives

229
00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:31,160
victory to his anointed.
He answers him from his heavenly

230
00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:35,960
sanctuary with victorious power
of his right hand, that there's

231
00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:37,680
nothing stronger than the right
hand of God.

232
00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:41,920
It is a symbol of his strength,
his power, his will, his

233
00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:44,600
sovereignty.
He is in charge and says some

234
00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:47,640
trusts and Chariots and some
trusts and horses, which was

235
00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:50,200
like the other, the greatest
thing in the army could have at

236
00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:52,440
the time.
But we trust in the what?

237
00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:57,040
Yeah, the name, Lord God.
Like it's at the name of Jesus

238
00:13:57,440 --> 00:14:00,200
that everything changes.
Like deliverance happens,

239
00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:05,600
freedom occurs, captives are
liberated, the the past is gone.

240
00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:08,200
And you're going to see it today
with Jesus, how he changes

241
00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:10,600
everything.
It says they brought, they are

242
00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:13,880
brought to their knees and fall,
but will rise up and stand firm.

243
00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:17,600
Lord, give victory to your King
and answer us when we call.

244
00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:19,800
Can you imagine?
Can you imagine an army singing

245
00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:22,960
that before they went to war?
That's a humble army, Amen?

246
00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:25,240
Like we're not counting on
ourselves.

247
00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:27,360
We're not counting on our Spears
and our horses and all the

248
00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:29,120
different things.
We're counting you, Lord, this

249
00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:32,160
is your battle.
Like that's a great prayer for

250
00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:32,880
victory.
Amen.

251
00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:37,280
Because it's the Lord that wins.
And the back up to 21, there's a

252
00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:39,800
song of victory and it's really
a song of Thanksgiving and a

253
00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:41,720
song of victory.
And you got to keep in mind this

254
00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:45,280
song was written before they won
the battle.

255
00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:48,680
Like this is something they
would declare and believe in.

256
00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:49,880
It was like, Lord, we're
trusting you in.

257
00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:52,840
And you know what?
We've already prepared a song, a

258
00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:56,080
Psalm, and we're going to sing
and we get back because we know

259
00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:58,600
you're going to do it.
You know, you know, you really

260
00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:00,560
have some faith and you really
start to understand the power of

261
00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:03,320
God when you write a song of
victory before you go to battle.

262
00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:06,920
Amen.
And so these Psalms are tied

263
00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:08,840
together.
It's amazing, kind of outgoing

264
00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:13,040
in going of how they do it.
But says the king rejoices in

265
00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:16,200
what?
Your strength, Lord, Like, thank

266
00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:18,240
you, Lord, you did it.
And that's the key.

267
00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:20,800
It's the Lord's battle and it's
the Lord against the glory.

268
00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:24,360
He says how great is his joy in
the victory You give.

269
00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:26,480
Like man, your heart is so
overwhelmed with what you've

270
00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:28,280
done.
You have granted him his heart's

271
00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:29,480
desire.
There it is.

272
00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:32,600
And not withheld the request
from his lips.

273
00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:34,160
He's talking about David like
you.

274
00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:36,360
You gave us the victory.
You gave us life.

275
00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:39,360
Verse 3 says you came to greet
him with rich blessings and

276
00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:40,960
placed a crown of gold on his
head.

277
00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:44,200
He won the battle.
He asked you for life and you

278
00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:46,680
gave it to him.
You give him length of days

279
00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:48,560
forever and ever.
Lord, You're in charge of all

280
00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:50,640
these things through the
victories you gave.

281
00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:52,400
His glory is great.
You have bestowed on him the

282
00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:54,320
splendored majesty.
Surely you have granted him

283
00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:58,280
unending blessing and made him
glad with joy in your presence

284
00:15:58,520 --> 00:15:59,440
for the King.
Look at this.

285
00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:03,080
Trust in who?
Yeah, that's a king.

286
00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:05,200
Amen.
There's a lot of people that are

287
00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:08,480
small kings, but a king that
trusts in the Lord, that changes

288
00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:12,840
everything it says.
Through the unfailing love of

289
00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:17,080
the Most High He will not be
shaken.

290
00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:20,560
It's because our walk with God
that we can walk into battle and

291
00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:22,040
know the Lord's going to see us
through.

292
00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:25,280
Says Your hand will not lay
hold, your hand will lay hold on

293
00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:27,440
all your enemies.
Your right hand will seize your

294
00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:29,360
foes.
You'll appear for the battle,

295
00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:32,360
which He always does, and you'll
burn them up as a blazing

296
00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:33,840
furnace.
The Lord will swallow up them in

297
00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:35,920
wrath, and as fire will consume
them.

298
00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:37,520
You.
A story that distends from the

299
00:16:37,520 --> 00:16:39,400
earth, their posterity from
mankind.

300
00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:42,680
Though they plot evil against
you and devise wicked schemes,

301
00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:47,520
they cannot succeed.
You will make them turn their

302
00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:50,200
backs when you aim at them with
a drawn bow.

303
00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:54,680
Be exalted in your strength,
Lord, we will sing and praise

304
00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:58,040
your might.
That's good, Amen.

305
00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:01,680
So, so whenever the Lord shows
up, he already has with the

306
00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:04,119
generosity of this.
But when he gives us a space,

307
00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:07,880
Psalm 21 is happening, Amen.
Like we, we're declaring that

308
00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:09,920
like we're, we're, we're
following him.

309
00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:12,839
We're right on the coattails of
Jesus and whatever he does,

310
00:17:12,839 --> 00:17:15,200
we're going to give praise and
glory for his might and his

311
00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:17,960
strength.
But Can you imagine like writing

312
00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:19,760
a Psalm of victory for your
life?

313
00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:22,440
Like I would encourage you, if
you're like struggling walking

314
00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:25,520
the Lord and you're, you're
struggling to feel his presence

315
00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:27,480
and you don't know what to do, I
would encourage you to read a

316
00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:30,600
Psalm every single day.
Like if you're not in the Bible,

317
00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:32,920
like this is the thing I'd ask
you to do.

318
00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:37,160
Just start at Psalm 1 and just
read and experience the grace of

319
00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:39,240
God.
Not just know about it like

320
00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:41,640
intellectually, but to know
about it from a man who's

321
00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:44,320
struggling most of the Psalms,
right?

322
00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:47,720
Struggling to chase down God's
grace, struggling to understand

323
00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:50,000
and put that grace in your life.
But what it looked like for you

324
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:51,640
to write a song of Thanksgiving,
a victory.

325
00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:54,840
I mean that would truly trust
the Lord.

326
00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:58,120
And for for doing this as a
pastor of this church for eight

327
00:17:58,120 --> 00:18:03,800
years, some of us are still
singing a song of defeat.

328
00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:08,320
Some of us are still singing a
song that's not victorious.

329
00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:10,480
And I'm just going to play it
out a few ways because I only

330
00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:12,800
encourage you guys to write some
different Psalms and some

331
00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:15,400
different mindsets in this
season.

332
00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:18,320
And especially as you think
about next year, like, Lord,

333
00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:20,600
what would you really have to me
to set free from my life?

334
00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:23,640
And one of the things I see as a
pastor that that we struggle

335
00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:25,920
with our church has a lot of
people that come from broken

336
00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:28,320
churches.
We, we have a lot of church

337
00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:30,040
hurt.
Like there's been broken

338
00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:33,520
relationships.
There's been severed churches,

339
00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:35,920
there's been people that are
just been very hurt, very

340
00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:38,200
wounded.
And if you've been through that,

341
00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:40,880
it is very difficult because
it's like, like somebody

342
00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:42,520
compared last week to going
through a divorce.

343
00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:45,360
You have relationships, you have
friends, you have so much.

344
00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:47,120
And then those dreams kind of
disappeared.

345
00:18:47,120 --> 00:18:48,600
There's a lot of loss, there's a
lot of pain.

346
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:51,240
And I've seen that.
You know, I'm not downplaying

347
00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:53,000
that because it's very real.
It's very hard.

348
00:18:53,120 --> 00:18:54,240
And I've been through that
myself.

349
00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:58,080
But I will say as a pastor, when
you get 5 years out or you get

350
00:18:58,080 --> 00:19:02,760
10 years out and you're still
saying the same thing, you're

351
00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:05,600
still going down the same Rd.
defeat and you're on the

352
00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:11,840
sideline like you've benched,
but not in the game because

353
00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:13,360
you're just too wounded to get
back in the game.

354
00:19:13,360 --> 00:19:15,120
I would encourage you that it's,
it's time.

355
00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:19,240
Amen.
It's time to say, Lord, what did

356
00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:22,400
you show me through that?
Because you did not create me to

357
00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:25,840
live in defeat and bitterness
and to sabotage my life and to

358
00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:29,120
live in trauma and to look back
at my life and my past.

359
00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:32,120
And it's not just church, right?
Like relationships or things

360
00:19:32,120 --> 00:19:34,520
that happen as kids, right?
We have this trauma that we

361
00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:38,080
carry and we say, Lord, I give
it to you, I need victory in

362
00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:39,960
this area.
Like what would it look like for

363
00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:43,360
you to actually write a Psalm
where God gets the glory and

364
00:19:43,360 --> 00:19:46,640
it's his strength that delivers
and you trust in him and he

365
00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:50,800
actually with belief brings you
through a season where you write

366
00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:54,600
a new song of victory.
Now says he picks your feet out

367
00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:56,640
of the mow your clay and says
upon the rock and he puts a new

368
00:19:56,640 --> 00:20:02,840
song in your heart and then your
feet start dancing, right.

369
00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:06,440
And for a lot of people like the
joy's gone.

370
00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:09,640
And I would encourage you that
joy can be there.

371
00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:12,600
Amen.
It can be there and it's a

372
00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:14,360
choice of victory.
And today we're going to talk

373
00:20:14,360 --> 00:20:17,840
about communion and we're going
to talk about remembering.

374
00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:21,040
What Jesus did for us and the
grace he did for us.

375
00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:24,400
And I would encourage you just
out front of this message that

376
00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:28,120
what you remember and you focus
on be very important for your

377
00:20:28,120 --> 00:20:30,680
lap of victory.
If you look back and you see

378
00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:33,360
wounds and pain, defeat and
trauma and all these things, you

379
00:20:33,360 --> 00:20:35,520
find all these things, but you
don't remember the grace of God.

380
00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:39,040
You're going to struggle coming
through this, but you can Amen.

381
00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:42,480
But you can so and encourage you
guys, especially guys.

382
00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:44,360
I mean, I've talked to people,
I've came out of a church that

383
00:20:44,360 --> 00:20:48,280
was the very broken situation.
I would encourage you, you need

384
00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:53,000
to change your song, but you got
to let Satan stop having victory

385
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:55,360
in your life.
Like you got to get off the

386
00:20:55,360 --> 00:20:58,560
sideline and you got to step
into the victory that God has

387
00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:00,280
because you're creative for
something more.

388
00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:05,040
Jesus does not save you to make
you defeated and to stay in this

389
00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:09,480
this funk of defeat when he's
giving you the power of the Holy

390
00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:11,680
Spirit.
And so I'd encourage you to take

391
00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:13,920
that really seriously and do
some self reflection.

392
00:21:13,920 --> 00:21:15,800
And there's some great men in
our church and women in our

393
00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:16,760
church that I've been through a
lot.

394
00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:20,040
But at the end of the day, you
can say God is good and I'm

395
00:21:20,040 --> 00:21:22,640
stepping into my calling.
I'm not holding back.

396
00:21:23,360 --> 00:21:26,120
And it looks like every ways I
see this with writing a song of

397
00:21:26,120 --> 00:21:29,200
victory financially it it's
revealing.

398
00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:30,920
We can do it like a generosity
initiative.

399
00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:35,000
There's it's money makes things
weird because it's tied close to

400
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:36,640
your heart.
Amen.

401
00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:39,520
And I've got guys like that,
like man full of faith.

402
00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:41,440
And I got guys like, hey, I'm
not so sure.

403
00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:45,840
And I got guys like, Oh, no, I'm
not doing nothing, right?

404
00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:47,840
And not even just doing nothing
like people upset.

405
00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:49,920
And you've got all these levels
of people.

406
00:21:50,080 --> 00:21:52,160
And I've seen people that want
to be generous that can't

407
00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:55,200
because they're slaves to money,
right?

408
00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:58,520
The Bible says you can't serve
God and Mammon, you love the one

409
00:21:58,520 --> 00:22:01,920
who hate the other or or, or
love the one who despise the

410
00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:03,240
other.
And it's interesting because

411
00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:05,960
it's the only idol that God
elevates.

412
00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:10,600
Money itself elevates to the
position of a God like Mammon is

413
00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:13,680
a false God, the Old Testament,
and he elevates money to the

414
00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:15,280
position of another false God in
our life.

415
00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:19,320
And I see this in our church,
like we, we are struggling in

416
00:22:19,320 --> 00:22:21,440
consumer debt.
We want to be generous, but we

417
00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:24,040
can't like we, we haven't owned
our finances.

418
00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:27,760
Like we either either make money
your slave or money is your

419
00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:30,280
master.
There's only two options, right?

420
00:22:30,800 --> 00:22:33,720
And and as a pastor, like I, I
see this song of defeat like

421
00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:35,680
while we try and we can't get
there, we try and can't get

422
00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:36,800
there.
Why try again?

423
00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:40,640
I don't encourage you guys that
you can like, what would it look

424
00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:44,040
like this next year to put
yourself in the master of your

425
00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:47,320
money and do some things a
little differently and get some

426
00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:50,160
help with that.
But to pay off some debt or to

427
00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:53,160
get things organized or to add a
generosity line in your budget

428
00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:54,800
because you know, that's what
Lord asks you to do.

429
00:22:55,560 --> 00:22:58,640
Like, why not?
Like what's stopping you?

430
00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:01,440
And I, I think we got to ask
ourselves a different question.

431
00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:05,280
How can I, Lord, show me how to.
I desperately want that, Lord, I

432
00:23:05,280 --> 00:23:08,560
know you can.
So I declare that you can and

433
00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:10,200
you'll have victory.
And I'm going to find out.

434
00:23:10,360 --> 00:23:11,640
So I'm going to ask some people
around me.

435
00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:13,240
I'm going to talk to the pastor.
I'm going to jump in some

436
00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:15,160
different life groups.
I'm going to get this nailed

437
00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:17,680
down because I'm not going to
live the rest of my life as a

438
00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:20,720
slave to a piece of cotton that
are green with dead presidents.

439
00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:24,400
See a lot.
And I think about just a song of

440
00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:27,920
victory, maybe like a more
personal side of a sexual sin.

441
00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:33,320
There's so much pornography and
there's so much of our lives

442
00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:36,120
that are given to false idols,
into brokenness.

443
00:23:36,120 --> 00:23:40,280
And I think Satan uses that to
keep us silent and to keep us

444
00:23:40,280 --> 00:23:44,080
defeated and full of shame.
And what if like 26 or this next

445
00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:45,360
season you wrote a song of
victory?

446
00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:48,600
You say, you know what, Lord,
this is the season where I'm

447
00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:51,240
done.
Like, I'm trusting you with this

448
00:23:51,560 --> 00:23:54,400
and I'm going to go to battle
like for something much deeper

449
00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:56,280
than anything else I could have.
I'm going to go to battle for my

450
00:23:56,280 --> 00:23:58,560
soul.
And there's a Psalm I want to

451
00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:00,280
just or Psalm.
There's a verse I want to share

452
00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:01,640
with you.
So I found in Second Timothy

453
00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:03,720
220.
This verse is just like gold

454
00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:06,440
says in a large house.
There are articles not only of

455
00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:09,760
gold and silver, but also of
wood and clay, and some are for

456
00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:13,280
special purposes and some are
from common abuse.

457
00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:15,320
You guys remember that China
cabinet growing up?

458
00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:19,840
You might still have one, right?
Probably not full of China

459
00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:22,520
anymore, but maybe it is.
And you took those out for what

460
00:24:24,080 --> 00:24:27,120
special uses, right?
Thanksgiving and Christmas and

461
00:24:27,120 --> 00:24:28,640
the other than that, don't touch
it.

462
00:24:29,280 --> 00:24:31,800
Stay away from it.
And there's the rest of it.

463
00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:33,920
It's all kind of jankety.
Nothing matches.

464
00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:36,480
It's just all chipped up and
whatever, it's everyday use.

465
00:24:36,840 --> 00:24:38,400
And that's, that's how we grew
up, right?

466
00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:40,720
And that's what the Bible says.
It says those who cleanse

467
00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:43,520
themselves from the ladder will
be instruments for special

468
00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:45,960
purposes.
Those who cleanse themselves

469
00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:51,560
from everyday use will be used
by God for special purposes.

470
00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:54,760
What that means is if, if you
don't get your life so dirty

471
00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:58,560
from all the things of the
world, like if, if you don't put

472
00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:00,760
yourself in the same
circumstances and go to the same

473
00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:03,640
things and get wrapped up in the
same problems everybody else

474
00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:04,720
having.
If you, if you just say, you

475
00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:06,120
know what?
I'm, I'm, I'm better than that.

476
00:25:06,120 --> 00:25:09,240
Lord, you, you call me something
different, like I'm reserving

477
00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:13,560
myself for marriage.
Like I, I, I'm going to be pure

478
00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:16,360
Lord, like I'm not stepping into
all this other stuff because I

479
00:25:16,360 --> 00:25:18,440
want you to use my life for
special purposes.

480
00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:20,080
Pull me out of the China
cabinet.

481
00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:24,000
Lord, that that's what you're
doing when you're setting

482
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:26,000
yourself apart to God.
And look what he says.

483
00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:28,840
He says he'll, he's for when you
set yourself apart for special

484
00:25:28,840 --> 00:25:32,040
purposes, He's made you holy.
Because there's this doctor.

485
00:25:32,040 --> 00:25:34,560
We don't talk about a whole lot,
but separation, like just

486
00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:35,800
because you can doesn't mean you
should.

487
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:37,840
All things are lawful, but all
things are expedient.

488
00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:40,360
Just because your friends do it
and it's not a sin, doesn't mean

489
00:25:40,360 --> 00:25:42,840
it's right.
Like there's some better ways.

490
00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:44,080
And you can say, well, you know
what?

491
00:25:44,080 --> 00:25:46,080
I'm going to kind of step into a
different direction here.

492
00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:49,160
Like for me, like I know
everybody, the world's doing

493
00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:51,800
this, but I don't care.
Lord, I want to follow you and

494
00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:54,200
you draw us in different lines.
It says it makes you holy and

495
00:25:54,200 --> 00:25:57,920
it's useful to the master and
prepared to do any good work.

496
00:25:58,080 --> 00:26:01,320
Like I want to be the person
when the Lord says, hey, I need

497
00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:04,080
somebody to step in the gap.
That's the guy I'm picking.

498
00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:08,440
Because righteousness and
holiness and blamelessness and

499
00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:14,920
pursuit and devotion, It's all
those those secret self sins

500
00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:19,600
that you battle that God sees
and then he elevates you.

501
00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:22,960
Amen.
And so there's a war that we

502
00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:24,880
have to step into.
And I think maybe this season

503
00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:26,560
that you write a Psalm of
victory for yourself.

504
00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:29,120
Like I'm not going to go back to
the I'm not going to be the

505
00:26:29,120 --> 00:26:31,360
same.
Like I'm going to get some help.

506
00:26:31,360 --> 00:26:34,800
I'm going to get some direction.
I'm going to battle like heaven

507
00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:37,040
and hell matter because I know
the Lord's looking at different

508
00:26:37,040 --> 00:26:38,440
hearts and I want the Lord to
see mine.

509
00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:40,560
And so I'm going to get pure in
front of you, Lord.

510
00:26:41,120 --> 00:26:43,960
Like that's just, I mean, if you
want to get a great battle, plan

511
00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:48,160
a victory, then set yourself
apart to God, that's almost a

512
00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:51,640
guaranteed victory because God
protects his anointed.

513
00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:54,280
God protects the righteous.
God takes from the unrighteous

514
00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:56,120
and gives it to the righteous.
It's in the Psalms.

515
00:26:56,720 --> 00:27:01,240
It's unreal what God does just
with a single righteous person.

516
00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:04,120
I heard this verse or this
verse, this, this idea last

517
00:27:04,120 --> 00:27:06,440
week, you all heard a post
traumatic, right?

518
00:27:07,360 --> 00:27:09,520
All the stress, right, all the,
all the syndromes, all the

519
00:27:09,520 --> 00:27:11,760
things.
But I heard, I heard this term

520
00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:16,800
post traumatic growth.
I've never heard that term, but

521
00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:19,360
I thought, man, if anybody
should be good at posthumatic

522
00:27:19,360 --> 00:27:23,720
growth, it should be Christians.
I mean, we should be like the

523
00:27:23,720 --> 00:27:28,520
model of what it is to get like
wounded and hurt and broken, and

524
00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:32,560
then the grace of God is just
effectual and then we grow

525
00:27:32,560 --> 00:27:36,160
through it.
I mean, if anybody, Amen.

526
00:27:37,360 --> 00:27:40,760
The Lord can and the Lord will.
And so I'd encourage you to

527
00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:43,920
write your own Psalm of victory,
and I will share this with you.

528
00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:48,400
Jesus actually did.
He wrote his own Psalm of

529
00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:50,240
victory.
As a matter of fact, it's Psalm

530
00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:51,480
22.
It's the very next Psalm.

531
00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:54,760
It's absolutely amazing.
Psalm 22 is written 1000 years

532
00:27:54,760 --> 00:28:00,240
before Jesus was born.
It it, it's written 500 years

533
00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:02,080
before crucifixion was even
invented.

534
00:28:02,520 --> 00:28:05,280
It was created by the Persians,
not the Romans.

535
00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:08,520
The Romans took it from Persia
and then they mastered it.

536
00:28:09,280 --> 00:28:13,560
And so this is well beyond like
it's just God's sovereignty and

537
00:28:13,560 --> 00:28:16,880
it and there's some of the
imagery in there is verse 16

538
00:28:16,880 --> 00:28:19,000
says they'll Pierce my hands and
my feet.

539
00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:22,440
That sound familiar, right.
It's a picture of the cross.

540
00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:25,160
All my bones are out of joint.
They divide my garments among

541
00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:26,680
them and cast lots for my
clothing.

542
00:28:26,680 --> 00:28:30,880
Verse one, my God, my God, why
have you forsaken me?

543
00:28:31,440 --> 00:28:36,600
Like like Jesus gives the most
vivid, clear, prophetic picture

544
00:28:36,600 --> 00:28:40,240
of the cross ever written in
Psalm 22, and it's a Psalm of

545
00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:42,360
victory.
Like I want to read the ending,

546
00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:45,680
verse 27.
It says all of the earth will

547
00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:49,200
remember and turn to the Lord.
That's us, Amen.

548
00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:52,000
And all the families of the
nations will bow down before

549
00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:55,400
him, for dominion belongs to the
Lord, and he rules over the

550
00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:58,000
nations.
And all the rich of the earth

551
00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:02,680
will feast and worship, and all
who go down to dust will kneel

552
00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:05,600
before him.
Those who cannot keep themselves

553
00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:13,640
alive, which is everybody but
Jesus is all of humanity.

554
00:29:14,920 --> 00:29:17,120
They turn to dust.
They will bow down before me.

555
00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:19,840
He says, verse 30.
Posterity will serve him.

556
00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:23,560
Being Jesus, future generations
will be told about the Lord.

557
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:27,440
That's us, Amen.
Still talking about Jesus, They

558
00:29:27,440 --> 00:29:29,760
will proclaim his righteousness,
which we're going to talk about

559
00:29:29,760 --> 00:29:34,000
today, declaring to a people yet
unborn, What's it say?

560
00:29:35,680 --> 00:29:38,120
He has done it.
He has done it.

561
00:29:38,800 --> 00:29:40,160
You're the words.
It is finished.

562
00:29:41,160 --> 00:29:43,240
He wrote them 1000 years in
advance.

563
00:29:44,520 --> 00:29:47,240
That's amazing.
And that's the greatest war cry

564
00:29:47,240 --> 00:29:49,440
of all time.
It's called the telestai.

565
00:29:49,720 --> 00:29:51,800
It's the Greek word for it.
It is finished.

566
00:29:51,800 --> 00:29:55,520
What's finished?
Sins finished, Amen. 1000 years

567
00:29:55,520 --> 00:29:57,400
in advance.
They're going to declare for all

568
00:29:57,400 --> 00:29:58,640
of eternity.
He did it.

569
00:29:58,760 --> 00:30:02,360
He did it, He did it, Amen.
How many guys are grateful Jesus

570
00:30:02,360 --> 00:30:04,360
did it?
Amen.

571
00:30:05,400 --> 00:30:08,960
I mean, look at this Psalm and
it's a Psalm that's written 1000

572
00:30:08,960 --> 00:30:10,840
advance declaring the victory of
Jesus.

573
00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:15,520
Wow, it's amazing.
I think of Thanksgiving and

574
00:30:15,520 --> 00:30:17,160
Thanksgiving is born out of
grace.

575
00:30:17,640 --> 00:30:19,760
You got to understand some of
these words of this is just mind

576
00:30:19,760 --> 00:30:23,200
blowing to me.
But the word to give thanks in

577
00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:26,040
Greek and just hold with me here
because like I'm not like, let's

578
00:30:26,040 --> 00:30:28,880
go in the Greek all the time.
Got a couple years on my belt.

579
00:30:28,880 --> 00:30:30,560
That doesn't really much mean
anything, right?

580
00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:35,200
But the word to give thanks in
Greek is eukaristio.

581
00:30:35,840 --> 00:30:40,600
You guys say Eukaristio,
Eukaristio and that the base

582
00:30:40,600 --> 00:30:45,760
word of eukaristio is the word
grace, which is the word charis.

583
00:30:46,360 --> 00:30:49,200
If you spell it out, it's right
in the middle, right in the

584
00:30:49,240 --> 00:30:54,240
middle, EU, the TO, and it's
eukaristio is built on grace.

585
00:30:54,240 --> 00:30:56,960
It literally means to be full of
grace.

586
00:30:57,280 --> 00:31:02,000
Grace is what God gives us
unmerited favor the love of God

587
00:31:02,240 --> 00:31:06,160
common grace like we're alive
like God restrains sin.

588
00:31:06,520 --> 00:31:09,880
All the grace of God, but
Eucharistio to give thanks is

589
00:31:09,880 --> 00:31:14,240
our response to grace.
So so if you're like am IA

590
00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:17,120
grateful person isn't determined
on my circumstances.

591
00:31:17,120 --> 00:31:19,480
It's determined on the level of
which I understand grace.

592
00:31:20,480 --> 00:31:22,640
It's determined it's determined
a level of which I experienced

593
00:31:22,640 --> 00:31:24,400
grace.
It's not about your

594
00:31:24,400 --> 00:31:26,240
circumstances.
It's about what God has done for

595
00:31:26,240 --> 00:31:29,320
us.
Grace is the basis for

596
00:31:29,320 --> 00:31:31,680
gratitude.
Think, think of all the things

597
00:31:31,680 --> 00:31:33,840
we're thankful for.
You're going to make maybe this

598
00:31:33,840 --> 00:31:37,320
somber moment you see like a an
awesome Hallmark movie this

599
00:31:37,320 --> 00:31:39,360
week, right?
And you're going to be touched

600
00:31:39,360 --> 00:31:42,000
and you're going to start
thinking about your family and

601
00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:44,120
you're starting thinking about
people that maybe aren't around

602
00:31:44,120 --> 00:31:45,600
the table anymore.
And you're going to think about

603
00:31:45,600 --> 00:31:49,000
your job and your house and, and
just the blessing of these other

604
00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:51,000
kids that have been born.
And you're going to be like a

605
00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:53,120
little tear in your eyes.
You think about Lord, thank you

606
00:31:54,080 --> 00:31:59,080
for the life I have.
Amen and and if you don't

607
00:31:59,080 --> 00:32:02,040
understand that maybe you're
like, well, it's hard right and

608
00:32:02,040 --> 00:32:05,560
it's a difficult season, but
nothing is greater than the

609
00:32:05,560 --> 00:32:09,120
grace of God, no matter how hard
it gets.

610
00:32:09,680 --> 00:32:14,800
God's grace fills our heart full
of gratitude and that's what

611
00:32:14,800 --> 00:32:18,000
Thanksgiving is about is built
on the very grace of Jesus's

612
00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:20,280
grace act of grace.
It's ever given.

613
00:32:20,560 --> 00:32:23,320
So we got your Bible.
Give me a Luke 22 and talk about

614
00:32:23,320 --> 00:32:24,960
this great grace that God's
given.

615
00:32:25,880 --> 00:32:29,400
It says verse verse 7, it says
then came the day of unleavened

616
00:32:29,400 --> 00:32:34,200
bread on which the Passover lamb
had to be sacrificed.

617
00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:39,440
Just think about this.
So we're we're leading up like

618
00:32:39,880 --> 00:32:43,520
Passover right before the
crucifixion.

619
00:32:44,240 --> 00:32:48,360
This is this Passover has been
celebrated since the Egyptians

620
00:32:48,960 --> 00:32:52,680
had all their first born sons
killed from the death Angel that

621
00:32:52,680 --> 00:32:56,080
passed over.
So the Passover is a celebration

622
00:32:56,640 --> 00:33:00,360
of when the the Hebrews were
free from slavery.

623
00:33:01,080 --> 00:33:03,720
And so they prepare that
Passover lamb, just like in the

624
00:33:03,800 --> 00:33:06,440
the Old Testament where they
took the the lamb and they had

625
00:33:06,440 --> 00:33:08,800
the doorpost was with blood and
the lentil was blood.

626
00:33:09,240 --> 00:33:12,880
And the Angel flew by if the if
the lamb blood was over the

627
00:33:12,880 --> 00:33:16,240
doorpost or over on the doorpost
and over the lentil and it

628
00:33:16,240 --> 00:33:20,000
passed over and that lamb was
prepared that day.

629
00:33:21,040 --> 00:33:25,680
Jesus as the whole Jewish
community is sacrificing their

630
00:33:25,680 --> 00:33:30,680
lambs literally to prepare for
the feast, for the Passover, the

631
00:33:30,680 --> 00:33:34,880
day of Unleavened bread.
Jesus at the upper room, He's

632
00:33:34,880 --> 00:33:40,000
preparing himself to be the
permanent sacrificial lamb

633
00:33:40,600 --> 00:33:46,600
sacrifice for us.
Like it's not an accident like

634
00:33:46,600 --> 00:33:50,280
this.
The minutes in the timing that

635
00:33:50,280 --> 00:33:53,880
Jesus is not a victim, he's in
total control of everything

636
00:33:53,880 --> 00:33:56,200
happening and being our Passover
lamb.

637
00:33:56,800 --> 00:34:00,920
Verse 14 it says when the hour
came Jesus and his apostles

638
00:34:01,120 --> 00:34:04,640
reclined at a table and he said
to them, I have eagerly what

639
00:34:06,160 --> 00:34:09,840
I've eagerly desired.
When the Lord says he's desired

640
00:34:09,840 --> 00:34:12,040
something and eagerly done it,
we should lean in and see what

641
00:34:12,040 --> 00:34:15,520
he's really excited about.
He says to eat this Passover

642
00:34:16,040 --> 00:34:22,400
with you before I suffer.
God himself.

643
00:34:22,400 --> 00:34:25,520
The word desire actually means
he desired with desire.

644
00:34:26,639 --> 00:34:31,440
Like He wanted to be in that
space with those disciples so

645
00:34:31,440 --> 00:34:37,840
they would recognize that His
suffering was for them, that He

646
00:34:37,840 --> 00:34:41,639
is a sacrificial lamb, that He's
going to go to the cross, that

647
00:34:41,639 --> 00:34:44,560
he's going to pay the debt.
And they don't understand this

648
00:34:44,560 --> 00:34:49,560
yet, but he was excited with
desire that they he would meet

649
00:34:49,560 --> 00:34:53,960
with them and that last Passover
because he was going to abolish

650
00:34:53,960 --> 00:34:58,800
all of their Passover's and they
know that he is a sacrifice for

651
00:34:58,800 --> 00:35:02,920
their sins.
Verse 16, next verse for I tell

652
00:35:02,920 --> 00:35:07,600
you, I will not eat again until
it finds fulfillment in the King

653
00:35:07,600 --> 00:35:11,560
of God.
This is literally Jesus Last

654
00:35:11,560 --> 00:35:14,440
Supper we call the Last Supper,
right?

655
00:35:15,080 --> 00:35:17,960
We've heard of it.
That's an awesome picture of the

656
00:35:17,960 --> 00:35:20,600
Last Supper.
They'd probably look nothing

657
00:35:20,600 --> 00:35:25,640
like that, I guarantee it.
But the Last Supper, this the

658
00:35:25,640 --> 00:35:28,080
last time Jesus sat down and it
was the Passover.

659
00:35:28,440 --> 00:35:31,480
And Jesus is not going to sit
down with those disciples again

660
00:35:32,280 --> 00:35:35,360
in this kind of setting until
the marriage feast of the Lamb

661
00:35:35,360 --> 00:35:38,520
in Revelation 19, nine.
That's the next time that you're

662
00:35:38,520 --> 00:35:41,360
going to have the this group
together in this kind of

663
00:35:41,360 --> 00:35:44,040
setting.
But what's amazing is we know

664
00:35:44,120 --> 00:35:45,840
Jesus.
You actually get to dine with

665
00:35:45,840 --> 00:35:49,880
Jesus out of Revelation 2.
Behold, I stand at the door and

666
00:35:49,880 --> 00:35:52,280
knock and he opens in me and
lets me in.

667
00:35:52,280 --> 00:35:53,960
I will dine with him and him
with me.

668
00:35:55,120 --> 00:35:57,480
That we could actually get to
sit with Jesus anytime we want

669
00:35:57,480 --> 00:36:02,640
to at the table through the
Spirit of God, through Jesus and

670
00:36:02,640 --> 00:36:07,120
us, and actually fellowship with
him in communion.

671
00:36:08,240 --> 00:36:13,280
Is that amazing that God lives
in US and he wanted us to know

672
00:36:13,520 --> 00:36:16,640
in that last moment that he was
paying for our sins because he

673
00:36:16,640 --> 00:36:19,280
loved us and he's going to go to
the cross in a certain way and

674
00:36:19,280 --> 00:36:24,480
you're going to see it here in
this next verse 17 after taking

675
00:36:24,480 --> 00:36:32,320
the cup, he what he gave thanks
Eucharistio.

676
00:36:35,080 --> 00:36:39,040
Isn't that amazing?
The cup is representation of his

677
00:36:39,040 --> 00:36:43,120
blood that he's going to pour
out on the cross and he took a

678
00:36:43,120 --> 00:36:47,160
cup that is going to be
representing him in just 12

679
00:36:47,160 --> 00:36:50,080
hours from then.
He's going to do false trials

680
00:36:50,080 --> 00:36:53,120
and beating and scourging and
whipping and mocking and

681
00:36:53,200 --> 00:36:57,880
everything, and he's going to
say it is finished 12 hours from

682
00:36:57,880 --> 00:37:03,040
this moment and he takes that
cup and he gives thanks.

683
00:37:06,920 --> 00:37:11,040
That's incredible, like the
grace of God is built on the

684
00:37:11,040 --> 00:37:20,920
grace of God, like giving thanks
to die for us and shed his blood

685
00:37:21,960 --> 00:37:27,440
is the greatest act of grace.
And this is what he does in the

686
00:37:27,440 --> 00:37:33,000
moment of like humanity's
wickedness and worst, Jesus is

687
00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:38,360
still his best and shows what's
in his true heart is to love us

688
00:37:39,280 --> 00:37:42,040
and to give thanks for the
suffering that's going to

689
00:37:42,040 --> 00:37:44,360
happen.
And so he said, take this and

690
00:37:44,360 --> 00:37:47,200
divide it among you, for I tell
you, I'll not drink again from

691
00:37:47,200 --> 00:37:51,040
the fruit of the vine until the
Kingdom of God comes.

692
00:37:52,600 --> 00:37:57,680
This is his last drink of wine,
grape juice.

693
00:37:57,680 --> 00:38:06,480
If you're Baptist, this is his.
This is his last and he gets the

694
00:38:06,480 --> 00:38:11,440
hyssop right on the cross like
as a picture of him being a

695
00:38:11,440 --> 00:38:14,800
sacrificial lamb in the verse 19
says he then he took the bread

696
00:38:14,800 --> 00:38:21,400
and what gave thanks and broke
it.

697
00:38:23,320 --> 00:38:29,960
You Christio, the grace of God
that that that that that bread

698
00:38:29,960 --> 00:38:36,040
represent his body being broken.
The Bible says in Isaiah that he

699
00:38:36,040 --> 00:38:40,520
he was to the point of
unrecognizable as a human is how

700
00:38:40,520 --> 00:38:44,840
bad he was beaten and scorched.
You were saying that you guys

701
00:38:44,840 --> 00:38:46,800
didn't be the passion right?
Most of you may be seen the move

702
00:38:46,800 --> 00:38:51,600
the passion got a lot of
Catholic things in there, but

703
00:38:51,600 --> 00:38:56,840
it's pretty accurate and that
movie was rated R and what that

704
00:38:57,640 --> 00:39:02,800
really the movie could not be
rated If you saw what actually

705
00:39:02,800 --> 00:39:08,400
happened to Jesus would not been
put in movie theaters and we've

706
00:39:08,400 --> 00:39:11,200
lost its ability to market to
the people that need to see it.

707
00:39:12,040 --> 00:39:14,800
It is far worse than what you
even saw in the movie.

708
00:39:15,840 --> 00:39:21,320
It was derated so they could
actually publish it and this was

709
00:39:21,320 --> 00:39:23,160
Jesus knowing that he's going to
be broken.

710
00:39:25,200 --> 00:39:31,040
Jesus says Eucharisteo.
Thank you father, he prayed.

711
00:39:31,400 --> 00:39:35,760
Thank you that I can suffer for
humanity.

712
00:39:36,600 --> 00:39:38,840
The grace of God is built on the
grace of God.

713
00:39:39,680 --> 00:39:43,280
And then he broke it and he gave
it to them saying this is my

714
00:39:43,280 --> 00:39:44,800
body given for you.
Remember?

715
00:39:45,840 --> 00:39:49,400
This is why she excited me with
them because I'm going to die

716
00:39:49,400 --> 00:39:52,640
for you.
He says this, do this and what

717
00:39:54,600 --> 00:39:58,040
remembrance of me.
There's some amazing furniture

718
00:39:58,040 --> 00:40:00,160
in churches with that, that
symbol Hunter, right?

719
00:40:00,920 --> 00:40:02,160
You guys remember that table up
front?

720
00:40:02,160 --> 00:40:05,080
You guys grew up in church, do
this remembrance of me, right?

721
00:40:05,600 --> 00:40:08,000
And I didn't know much when I
was first started going to

722
00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:09,360
church.
I just thought, man, that's the

723
00:40:09,360 --> 00:40:12,440
place to put the casket.
You know what I'm saying?

724
00:40:13,360 --> 00:40:15,320
I had no idea how to do about
communion.

725
00:40:15,720 --> 00:40:18,480
I had no idea I was talking to
somebody yesterday or Friday and

726
00:40:18,480 --> 00:40:21,280
they're like, they started
reading job or job.

727
00:40:21,800 --> 00:40:24,160
I said, brother, it's job.
But guess what?

728
00:40:24,360 --> 00:40:27,120
When I first started reading it,
I was looking for a job and I

729
00:40:27,120 --> 00:40:30,600
started reading job.
They did the same thing, right?

730
00:40:31,200 --> 00:40:33,920
It's easy to do.
But here, you know what the

731
00:40:33,920 --> 00:40:37,480
early church called the Lord's
Supper?

732
00:40:37,560 --> 00:40:44,680
You guys know the Eucharist,
y'all?

733
00:40:44,800 --> 00:40:46,360
Maybe you're going Catholic
traditions and stuff.

734
00:40:46,360 --> 00:40:50,840
They're called the Holy
Eucharist, the Holy give thanks.

735
00:40:51,760 --> 00:40:54,760
The early church called this
like the great gave thanks.

736
00:40:55,760 --> 00:40:59,280
Isn't that pretty cool?
Like, you know, sometimes think

737
00:40:59,280 --> 00:41:01,120
communion like, Oh yeah, yeah,
communion.

738
00:41:02,760 --> 00:41:05,320
No, you understand, like this is
10 levels deep.

739
00:41:05,840 --> 00:41:08,480
When he says do this in
remembrance of me, the word for

740
00:41:08,480 --> 00:41:15,520
remembrance in Hebrew is haka or
zaka, and it means to bring the

741
00:41:15,520 --> 00:41:19,240
past into the present.
So, so when he said do this to

742
00:41:19,240 --> 00:41:23,160
remembrance, it wasn't like, oh,
just remember Jesus, just what

743
00:41:23,160 --> 00:41:24,880
he did.
Just look back every once in

744
00:41:24,880 --> 00:41:27,400
awhile.
What he's saying is do this

745
00:41:27,400 --> 00:41:31,520
remembrance.
It means re experience it like

746
00:41:31,520 --> 00:41:36,800
it you just lived it again.
That's a whole new level.

747
00:41:36,800 --> 00:41:40,080
Amen.
Like imagine you just got saved

748
00:41:40,240 --> 00:41:43,280
today.
Imagine you just recognize that

749
00:41:43,280 --> 00:41:47,640
Jesus died for you today.
Imagine you just watch God wipe

750
00:41:47,640 --> 00:41:51,160
away all your sins with a giant
eraser and he says I love you

751
00:41:51,160 --> 00:41:54,840
and adopted you and put you as
an heir to his throne.

752
00:41:56,640 --> 00:42:02,600
That's what that means.
Eucharist, give thanks.

753
00:42:03,400 --> 00:42:06,880
And so when you struggle with I
have past trauma.

754
00:42:07,240 --> 00:42:09,440
I have church heard I've been
wounded.

755
00:42:09,520 --> 00:42:11,280
Things happen in my past.
This person.

756
00:42:11,400 --> 00:42:14,840
I'm not downplaying any of that,
but the only thing Jesus tells

757
00:42:14,840 --> 00:42:20,120
us to remember is His grace
every day.

758
00:42:20,880 --> 00:42:23,880
And so if your song is a song of
defeat, I would challenge you

759
00:42:24,080 --> 00:42:33,400
that you have no Eucharist in
your life and you can afresh you

760
00:42:33,440 --> 00:42:35,360
choose what you want to
remember.

761
00:42:36,680 --> 00:42:39,680
You don't forget.
But God's grace is so much

762
00:42:39,680 --> 00:42:40,360
greater.
Amen.

763
00:42:42,000 --> 00:42:45,880
Like I have enough mercy and
grace for today and tomorrow

764
00:42:45,880 --> 00:42:48,400
there'll be his own troubles.
And I wake up and I say, Lord,

765
00:42:48,760 --> 00:42:50,360
you got it.
I trust you.

766
00:42:50,640 --> 00:42:54,240
Thank you for dying for me.
You never get past the cross,

767
00:42:54,240 --> 00:42:56,800
Amen.
You never graduate from holding

768
00:42:56,800 --> 00:43:00,360
on to the old rugged cross.
You can't say, well, all this

769
00:43:00,520 --> 00:43:02,520
tragedy happened, all this hurt
happened, all this pain

770
00:43:02,520 --> 00:43:05,600
happened, but what but Jesus,
Amen.

771
00:43:06,440 --> 00:43:10,360
And his worst moment of
suffering in pain with weight of

772
00:43:10,360 --> 00:43:15,040
sin, crush on his shoulders,
Father, Father, why have you

773
00:43:15,040 --> 00:43:17,720
forsaken me?
When he turned the Father's

774
00:43:17,760 --> 00:43:20,600
turned his back on the Son and
he poured out the wrath of God.

775
00:43:20,920 --> 00:43:24,920
Bell says in first John 22 that
he's our wrath bearing sacrifice

776
00:43:26,360 --> 00:43:32,760
like he took our hell.
And before he took our hell, he

777
00:43:32,760 --> 00:43:36,320
said Eucharistio, thank you
Lord.

778
00:43:37,080 --> 00:43:43,080
And if Jesus can suffer with
that kind of hell, God help me

779
00:43:43,080 --> 00:43:45,720
to live like I can't break free
from mine.

780
00:43:47,560 --> 00:43:49,960
Amen.
That's the grace of God.

781
00:43:50,280 --> 00:43:51,880
And so you think about communion
today.

782
00:43:52,080 --> 00:43:55,280
I want you to relive it.
I want you to experience it for

783
00:43:55,280 --> 00:43:57,960
yourself again.
It is to be the highest song in

784
00:43:57,960 --> 00:44:01,600
your heart and be the greatest.
Praise on your lips is the most

785
00:44:01,600 --> 00:44:06,480
humbling thing in your life.
There's nothing greater.

786
00:44:06,760 --> 00:44:08,160
There's no weapon formed against
it.

787
00:44:08,440 --> 00:44:10,920
There's nobody can take it away.
No matter what you've done

788
00:44:10,920 --> 00:44:13,920
yesterday or how far you've ran
or what's going on in your life.

789
00:44:14,120 --> 00:44:16,840
The grace of God is the greatest
story ever told.

790
00:44:17,320 --> 00:44:19,600
And it starts with why have you
forsaken me?

791
00:44:19,720 --> 00:44:23,880
And it ends with He has done it.
And so how you walked in today,

792
00:44:24,400 --> 00:44:26,600
wherever kind of defeat like
Lord, where are you?

793
00:44:27,560 --> 00:44:30,920
I can't feel you.
Maybe you've forsaken me.

794
00:44:31,560 --> 00:44:34,760
Walk in the Tri valley.
We can leave the day because of

795
00:44:34,760 --> 00:44:36,120
communion.
Eucharistio.

796
00:44:36,120 --> 00:44:39,000
We can say he has done it.
Amen.

797
00:44:40,120 --> 00:44:44,080
That's the church and that's the
call to communion.

798
00:44:44,560 --> 00:44:47,320
That's the grace of God.
And so you can write your Psalm

799
00:44:47,320 --> 00:44:51,320
today.
Jesus wrote Psalm 22 and then he

800
00:44:51,320 --> 00:44:54,680
did it.
And anything you declare, that's

801
00:44:54,680 --> 00:44:57,720
the will of God, that's the
righteousness of God, that's

802
00:44:57,720 --> 00:45:00,600
God's will.
You can just say, Lord, you got

803
00:45:00,600 --> 00:45:03,520
it, You're going to do it.
I trust you.

804
00:45:03,880 --> 00:45:05,560
You did not make me to be
defeated.

805
00:45:05,840 --> 00:45:09,240
You did not put me in a grave.
You did not put me in this, this

806
00:45:09,240 --> 00:45:15,160
life, in this body to relive
every tragedy in my life and

807
00:45:15,160 --> 00:45:19,880
grow bitter.
You put me in this body to

808
00:45:19,880 --> 00:45:23,920
relive your greatest tragedy,
which is the greatest act of

809
00:45:23,920 --> 00:45:26,720
grace.
So every day afresh I can

810
00:45:26,720 --> 00:45:29,480
declare your glory that you've
done it.

811
00:45:30,840 --> 00:45:33,640
Amen.
And so, Father, we come before

812
00:45:33,640 --> 00:45:36,440
you.
God, I pray for our church, God,

813
00:45:36,440 --> 00:45:41,360
that we full of gratitude that
we'd be full of joy, that we'd

814
00:45:41,360 --> 00:45:45,720
be full of victory.
Then this world, there's

815
00:45:45,720 --> 00:45:49,560
suffering and there's hardship.
But Lord, you're far greater.

816
00:45:50,240 --> 00:45:52,120
And in your hardship you cried
out.

817
00:45:52,880 --> 00:45:57,600
Eucharistio.
Thank you, Father, for the

818
00:45:57,600 --> 00:46:02,880
suffering I'm going through
because your grace and so they I

819
00:46:02,880 --> 00:46:05,000
pray for those of Jesus
followers in the house, God that

820
00:46:05,000 --> 00:46:09,760
we be full of gratitude because
of your grace for us.

821
00:46:09,760 --> 00:46:13,480
God, if you're Jesus followed
the house and God just speaking

822
00:46:13,480 --> 00:46:16,200
to you, maybe a moment of
surrender, maybe a moment of

823
00:46:16,200 --> 00:46:18,280
saying he has done it, a moment
of worship.

824
00:46:18,800 --> 00:46:20,840
We just open your hands to the
Lord out in front of you and say

825
00:46:20,840 --> 00:46:24,720
Lord, thank you for your grace.
God, a fresh God.

826
00:46:24,720 --> 00:46:30,520
I have walked away of my first
love, I've put my heart on

827
00:46:30,600 --> 00:46:32,960
everything else, and I've
forgotten what it is to live in

828
00:46:32,960 --> 00:46:39,000
communion.
The disciples thought they were

829
00:46:39,000 --> 00:46:42,320
going to celebrate the end of
slavery, but they didn't realize

830
00:46:42,320 --> 00:46:43,920
they were celebrating the end of
sin.

831
00:46:45,840 --> 00:46:50,360
And so, Lord, every time we eat,
we have the opportunity to say,

832
00:46:50,360 --> 00:46:53,320
Lord, thank you.
Because when I see this bread

833
00:46:53,480 --> 00:46:56,080
and I see this cup and I see
what you provided for me, I

834
00:46:56,080 --> 00:46:57,160
remember what you do on the
cross.

835
00:46:57,160 --> 00:47:01,160
Lord, every single meal from
here on out, I'm going to live

836
00:47:01,160 --> 00:47:04,360
under the grace of God as a
symbol that my life is

837
00:47:04,360 --> 00:47:06,080
submission to the one who paid
it all.

838
00:47:06,760 --> 00:47:08,000
Lord, help us to be those
people.

839
00:47:08,000 --> 00:47:10,920
Lord, I'll pray for one group of
people in the house that says,

840
00:47:10,920 --> 00:47:13,160
you walked in and said, you
know, I don't really know Jesus

841
00:47:14,240 --> 00:47:16,880
like this one that died for me,
that sacrificed for me.

842
00:47:17,160 --> 00:47:20,080
The Bible says he gives it away
as free, a free gift of

843
00:47:20,080 --> 00:47:24,400
salvation to anybody that would
call the name of Jesus, to

844
00:47:24,400 --> 00:47:26,480
anyone that would humble
themselves and say I'm a Sinner

845
00:47:26,480 --> 00:47:29,480
and need of a savior.
I've been writing my own story.

846
00:47:29,480 --> 00:47:31,200
But Lord, you already have a
story.

847
00:47:33,120 --> 00:47:37,000
The story of Jesus is not taking
bad people to be good.

848
00:47:37,440 --> 00:47:39,680
It's a story of taking dead
people to life.

849
00:47:41,040 --> 00:47:42,800
It may be that you recognize
that you came in here

850
00:47:42,800 --> 00:47:49,240
spiritually dead, but Jesus, the
only one that didn't turn to

851
00:47:49,240 --> 00:47:56,160
dust, made a way for you to have
eternal life.

852
00:47:57,040 --> 00:48:00,640
And so if you need Jesus today,
if you'd hope today, if you'd

853
00:48:00,640 --> 00:48:05,080
humble yourself today, I want to
invite you to do so.

854
00:48:06,520 --> 00:48:09,800
If God's speaking to you, Holy
Spirit's calling you to have

855
00:48:10,600 --> 00:48:11,640
relationship with him, that's
you.

856
00:48:11,640 --> 00:48:12,760
We just lift your hand high in
this place.

857
00:48:12,760 --> 00:48:15,920
I need Jesus, I need this
Eucharist you're talking about.

858
00:48:15,920 --> 00:48:19,040
I see your hand this I need
Jesus and I called out, but you

859
00:48:19,040 --> 00:48:25,520
need Jesus if that's you.
I'm a lead to the prayer and the

860
00:48:25,520 --> 00:48:26,880
prayer has nothing to do about
your salvation.

861
00:48:27,840 --> 00:48:32,720
It's your heart.
Just cry out to the Father and

862
00:48:32,720 --> 00:48:38,960
say Eucharistio thank you for
sending your Son the greatest

863
00:48:38,960 --> 00:48:43,840
gift of grace who laid down his
life for me, that I can have new

864
00:48:43,840 --> 00:48:48,400
life today.
And then I need you to exchange

865
00:48:48,400 --> 00:48:52,640
all my wrongs for all your
rights and declare my life it is

866
00:48:52,640 --> 00:49:00,000
finished and you can leave the
day declaring he did it, he did

867
00:49:00,000 --> 00:49:03,640
it again.
So God take my life and use it

868
00:49:03,640 --> 00:49:08,720
and I pray in Jesus name, Amen.
You guys give some worship to

869
00:49:08,720 --> 00:49:10,400
Jesus.
Come on.

870
00:49:17,000 --> 00:49:20,040
Man wasn't that good.
Just the idea of gratefulness,

871
00:49:20,040 --> 00:49:23,480
the idea of knowing that God has
your best in mind and everything

872
00:49:23,520 --> 00:49:26,040
he's ever done for you has been
with that goal.

873
00:49:26,600 --> 00:49:30,040
So in this moment, we're going
to share the Eucharist.

874
00:49:30,040 --> 00:49:35,240
We're going to take a communion.
And as we do it, and I loved how

875
00:49:35,240 --> 00:49:38,600
Sean just framed the idea of
what God's doing in this story.

876
00:49:39,160 --> 00:49:42,840
And there's a moment that this
that this communion references

877
00:49:42,840 --> 00:49:45,320
and remembers.
It's the moment that splits

878
00:49:45,320 --> 00:49:49,680
history down the middle.
And what I love about it is as

879
00:49:49,680 --> 00:49:52,480
you read the Bible and if you
want to look at it from a 30,000

880
00:49:52,480 --> 00:49:54,480
foot view, is, is that
everything in the Old Testament,

881
00:49:54,480 --> 00:49:58,320
starting in Genesis, through the
Mosaic law and the temple

882
00:49:58,320 --> 00:50:02,040
sacrifices, through the Psalms
that David wrote and through the

883
00:50:02,040 --> 00:50:04,040
prophets like Isaiah, which
we're going to read in a minute,

884
00:50:04,040 --> 00:50:10,480
point to Christ, point to the
moment that God and his

885
00:50:10,480 --> 00:50:14,760
sovereignty picked to redeem
humanity.

886
00:50:15,600 --> 00:50:20,200
And I love the stories and the
vision of what God laid out in

887
00:50:20,200 --> 00:50:22,520
the Old Testament.
And the apostles are a lot like

888
00:50:22,520 --> 00:50:24,280
us.
We were a little slow sometimes.

889
00:50:25,000 --> 00:50:27,480
And I'll say this, the apostles,
we're looking for so many things

890
00:50:28,160 --> 00:50:29,600
that ultimately Jesus will
bring.

891
00:50:29,720 --> 00:50:31,720
They were looking for a king,
they were looking for a Kingdom,

892
00:50:31,720 --> 00:50:33,760
they're looking for a ruler.
And that's us.

893
00:50:33,760 --> 00:50:35,200
Sometimes we're looking for
answers.

894
00:50:35,880 --> 00:50:38,800
But in this moment Jesus says I
have all those things, but what

895
00:50:38,800 --> 00:50:45,720
you really need is me and Isaiah
53 five these apostles had read

896
00:50:45,720 --> 00:50:49,000
this probably hundreds if not
thousands of times.

897
00:50:50,400 --> 00:50:52,040
But he was pierced for our
transgressions.

898
00:50:52,040 --> 00:50:53,240
He was crushed for our
iniquities.

899
00:50:53,240 --> 00:50:56,400
The punishment that brought us
peace was on him and by his

900
00:50:56,400 --> 00:50:59,240
wounds we are healed.
So everything in the Old

901
00:50:59,240 --> 00:51:04,440
Testament pointed forward and in
this moment we recognize we are

902
00:51:04,440 --> 00:51:08,000
now the chosen people and that
people are the church people

903
00:51:08,000 --> 00:51:10,320
that find their their identity
in Christ.

904
00:51:10,320 --> 00:51:11,840
People have given their lives to
God.

905
00:51:12,920 --> 00:51:16,520
So communion is this beautiful
moment that we can look back to

906
00:51:16,520 --> 00:51:20,960
what God did for us through
Jesus, the broken body, the

907
00:51:20,960 --> 00:51:25,600
covenant of spilled blood.
And it gives us a unity as

908
00:51:25,600 --> 00:51:27,720
fellow followers, fellow
disciples.

909
00:51:28,360 --> 00:51:32,160
And Paul in Corinthians, he
reiterates what happened in

910
00:51:32,160 --> 00:51:34,640
Luke, what we read a moment ago.
And so why don't you guys read

911
00:51:34,640 --> 00:51:37,440
this with me?
And I'm going to break this down

912
00:51:37,440 --> 00:51:40,360
just real quickly for you guys.
For I received from the Lord

913
00:51:40,720 --> 00:51:43,480
what I also passed on to you.
The Lord Jesus on the night he

914
00:51:43,480 --> 00:51:45,840
was betrayed, took bread.
And when he had given thanks, he

915
00:51:45,840 --> 00:51:48,440
broke it and said this is my
body, which is for you.

916
00:51:48,440 --> 00:51:55,480
Do this in remembrance of me.
And Sean's 100% right when you

917
00:51:55,480 --> 00:51:59,880
see what Jesus actually did in
his body, it was broken, it was

918
00:51:59,880 --> 00:52:03,680
destroyed, it was pierced, and
all of those were for you and

919
00:52:03,680 --> 00:52:06,360
that was for me.
And it was to do something that

920
00:52:06,360 --> 00:52:10,240
we could never do on our own.
And that's what Jesus did in

921
00:52:10,240 --> 00:52:12,080
that moment.
He was looking forward to it and

922
00:52:12,080 --> 00:52:17,640
he did it willingly.
And then if you pick it up, it

923
00:52:17,640 --> 00:52:21,080
says this.
It says in the same way after

924
00:52:21,080 --> 00:52:23,400
supper he took the cup, saying
this is the cup of the new

925
00:52:23,400 --> 00:52:25,760
covenant in my blood.
Do this whenever you drink it

926
00:52:25,760 --> 00:52:28,640
and remembrance of me.
And whenever you eat this bread

927
00:52:28,640 --> 00:52:33,840
and drink this cup, you proclaim
the Lord's death until he comes

928
00:52:34,520 --> 00:52:38,680
to spill blood.
The whole Bible, the whole

929
00:52:38,680 --> 00:52:42,440
sacrificial system, points to
the problem of sin and death.

930
00:52:42,720 --> 00:52:44,920
And it can only be fixed with a
price.

931
00:52:46,640 --> 00:52:48,840
And the price isn't anything
that you've done or anything

932
00:52:48,840 --> 00:52:52,080
that I can do, other than
accepting what God's done for us

933
00:52:52,080 --> 00:52:54,640
in that moment.
And his Son, his, his blood

934
00:52:54,640 --> 00:52:58,160
covers the sin of all of us.
Anything you've ever done in the

935
00:52:58,160 --> 00:52:59,960
past, anything you ever do in
the future.

936
00:53:01,120 --> 00:53:05,280
And so in this moment, this
communion, it's so significant

937
00:53:05,280 --> 00:53:08,320
for so many different reasons.
It is a time of remembrance.

938
00:53:08,520 --> 00:53:11,280
It's a time of reverence.
The Corinthians messed this up

939
00:53:11,280 --> 00:53:14,080
so bad is that they took this as
a common meal.

940
00:53:14,880 --> 00:53:17,760
And so Paul had some
admonishment for them that says

941
00:53:18,240 --> 00:53:20,240
you need to take this in a
worthy manner.

942
00:53:20,600 --> 00:53:22,920
So in, in, in a moment here,
we're going to take a moment of

943
00:53:22,920 --> 00:53:25,680
self examination where you come
before the Lord.

944
00:53:25,680 --> 00:53:29,160
And if there's anything you need
to lay out before God, something

945
00:53:29,160 --> 00:53:33,840
that this standing between you
and him a way that you may be

946
00:53:33,840 --> 00:53:36,720
divisive or or maybe there's
some hurt, there's some sin in

947
00:53:36,720 --> 00:53:38,040
your life that you need to give
God.

948
00:53:38,680 --> 00:53:42,680
This is the time to do it.
And communion is also for those

949
00:53:42,680 --> 00:53:47,080
of us that are that are not only
in this body here in this

950
00:53:47,080 --> 00:53:49,240
essence of this church, but for
disciples.

951
00:53:49,240 --> 00:53:53,800
So if you have never made that
decision, this moment is is for

952
00:53:53,800 --> 00:53:56,040
family.
So I would encourage you to take

953
00:53:56,040 --> 00:53:59,400
this on a worthy manner.
So be a disciple, be a follower

954
00:53:59,400 --> 00:54:03,240
of Christ, and then in this
moment, take whatever you have

955
00:54:03,240 --> 00:54:05,520
before God.
And then finally, as we do it,

956
00:54:05,960 --> 00:54:07,680
remember this is a moment of
unity.

957
00:54:08,960 --> 00:54:10,920
The church throughout the
centuries, throughout the

958
00:54:10,920 --> 00:54:15,520
generations have taken this
every time as remembrance of

959
00:54:15,520 --> 00:54:19,760
what God did and how it unites
all of us, past color of skin,

960
00:54:19,880 --> 00:54:24,760
past financial situations.
This is what divides not doesn't

961
00:54:24,760 --> 00:54:28,240
divide that unites us either
male nor female, slave nor free,

962
00:54:28,760 --> 00:54:31,600
Greek or Jew.
So I'm going to encourage you

963
00:54:31,600 --> 00:54:35,880
guys in this moment, for the
next 30 seconds, come before God

964
00:54:36,480 --> 00:54:40,480
in a silent moment of just
remembrance and just self

965
00:54:40,480 --> 00:55:47,870
examination.
All right, would you guys go

966
00:55:47,870 --> 00:55:51,350
ahead and stand your feet as we
enter into this moment of being

967
00:55:51,870 --> 00:55:53,990
grateful for the thing that God
has done for us?

968
00:55:55,000 --> 00:55:56,280
I'm gonna echo something that
Sean said.

969
00:55:57,160 --> 00:55:59,800
It's beautiful to see God's
people called to a common

970
00:55:59,800 --> 00:56:04,960
vision, called in unity, not in
any one thing that we all have

971
00:56:05,440 --> 00:56:08,720
individually, but in the mission
of what God's given us as a

972
00:56:08,720 --> 00:56:13,600
people.
So in a moment, I'm going to

973
00:56:13,600 --> 00:56:15,880
pray.
And then after I pray, I'll have

974
00:56:15,880 --> 00:56:17,480
you guys come down.
You guys will come down this

975
00:56:17,560 --> 00:56:20,520
the, the, the middle aisles,
You'll come up, you know, take

976
00:56:20,520 --> 00:56:21,640
communion, you'll take the
bread.

977
00:56:21,640 --> 00:56:23,840
And then if you want wine that's
on the outside, juice is on the

978
00:56:23,840 --> 00:56:26,640
inside, and you'll have a moment
to take communion.

979
00:56:27,080 --> 00:56:30,320
And as you finish, go back out
the outside and come back in.

980
00:56:30,760 --> 00:56:34,880
Would you guys pray with me?
Got to stand here in a moment of

981
00:56:34,880 --> 00:56:36,600
humility.
You got to think of the things

982
00:56:37,080 --> 00:56:41,120
that you that you have designed
and built for us.

983
00:56:41,760 --> 00:56:45,680
God, just thank you for your
plan to take a chosen people, a

984
00:56:45,680 --> 00:56:48,400
royal priesthood that you called
the nation of Israel to bring

985
00:56:48,560 --> 00:56:52,120
forth your Messiah.
And the Messiah is Jesus.

986
00:56:53,480 --> 00:56:57,240
God thank you for the life that
he lived, his death, his burial,

987
00:56:57,240 --> 00:56:59,960
his resurrection.
God, thank you for this moment

988
00:57:00,320 --> 00:57:02,960
that as as a people of God, that
we can come together in

989
00:57:02,960 --> 00:57:04,760
remembrance of what you have
done for us.

990
00:57:04,760 --> 00:57:07,480
God help us to not take this
moment lightly.

991
00:57:09,240 --> 00:57:12,520
God, help us to remember the
sacrifice that it cost you to

992
00:57:12,520 --> 00:57:16,440
redeem each person here because
you love each person here.

993
00:57:18,040 --> 00:57:20,840
And God, finally, thank you for
the the significance of the

994
00:57:20,840 --> 00:57:24,720
unity of your church in the way
that the world tries to divide

995
00:57:24,720 --> 00:57:28,000
and separate us.
God, this is what we are united

996
00:57:28,000 --> 00:57:32,280
in, in remembrance of your love
for us and your calling for us

997
00:57:32,280 --> 00:57:35,480
on our lives.
So God, I pray for the broken,

998
00:57:35,760 --> 00:57:38,520
the broken body.
God, I pray for the spilled

999
00:57:38,520 --> 00:57:40,120
blood.
God, just thank you for each one

1000
00:57:40,120 --> 00:57:42,520
of those sacrifices you've given
each one of us.

1001
00:57:43,080 --> 00:57:45,320
And God, as we take these
elements and remembrance of what

1002
00:57:45,320 --> 00:57:48,080
you've done for us, God, help us
to not take this lightly.

1003
00:57:48,200 --> 00:57:51,240
God, thank you for everything
you've done that we pray this in

1004
00:57:51,280 --> 00:57:54,600
Jesus name, Amen.
Would you guys come?

1005
00:58:23,210 --> 00:58:33,760
Take the bread of life broken
for all my sin, your body

1006
00:58:34,360 --> 00:58:51,160
crucify to make me whole again.
I will recall the cup poured out

1007
00:58:51,200 --> 00:59:01,800
in sacrifice to trade the
sinners in for your new

1008
00:59:01,800 --> 00:59:08,000
covenant.
Hallelujah.

1009
00:59:08,000 --> 00:59:28,320
I live my life in remembrance.
Hallelujah, your promise I won't

1010
00:59:29,520 --> 00:59:44,700
forgive our salvation with fear
and trembling.

1011
00:59:47,620 --> 00:59:57,600
You're way born as my own, as
Christ is formed in me.

1012
01:00:01,800 --> 01:00:04,880
Hallelujah I live my life and
remembrance.

1013
01:00:10,320 --> 01:00:18,040
Hallelujah, your promise.
I won't for you.

1014
01:00:26,200 --> 01:00:32,280
Never I should lose my way.
If ever I deny your grace.

1015
01:00:32,520 --> 01:00:42,800
Remind me of the rise you made.
Hallelujah I.

1016
01:00:43,360 --> 01:00:59,640
Live in remains.
Well, we thank you,

1017
01:01:12,880 --> 01:01:18,720
love.
You've been so, so good to me.

1018
01:01:19,680 --> 01:01:23,520
Good to know.
You've been so, so good to me.

1019
01:01:26,920 --> 01:01:36,240
Oh, to me.
Where I would be if not, If not

1020
01:01:36,520 --> 01:01:42,520
you, 'cause you've been so, so
good to me.

1021
01:01:47,280 --> 01:01:59,800
You've been so, so good to me.
Don't you know where I would be

1022
01:01:59,840 --> 01:02:11,360
if not for you, If not for you?
That you've been so, so good to

1023
01:02:11,680 --> 01:02:18,400
me.
You've been so, so good to me.

1024
01:02:36,280 --> 01:02:41,920
All the sides reach from the
depths as far as E is from the

1025
01:02:42,320 --> 01:02:44,880
West.
So far, Your grace, eyes can't

1026
01:02:45,320 --> 01:02:52,920
read me until I see you face to
face.

1027
01:02:53,000 --> 01:02:59,280
Until and last I've won my race.
Remind me you're not finished

1028
01:02:59,560 --> 01:03:02,880
yet.
Hallelujah, Hallelujah,

1029
01:03:08,640 --> 01:03:22,160
Hallelujah.
I live in Riemann.

1030
01:03:32,000 --> 01:03:51,960
Let's continue worshiping day.
Rumors are the Son of Man,

1031
01:03:55,440 --> 01:04:08,800
stories of the Savior, holiness
with human hands, treasure for

1032
01:04:08,840 --> 01:04:14,520
the traitor.
No, we had heard.

1033
01:04:14,520 --> 01:04:26,840
No, I had seen the image of the
Father until heaven came to live

1034
01:04:26,840 --> 01:04:33,720
with me.
A rescue alike no other.

1035
01:04:34,160 --> 01:04:42,240
Let him hear it.
You are worthy.

1036
01:04:42,920 --> 01:04:48,200
You are worthy of your name.
You are worthy.

1037
01:04:53,360 --> 01:04:59,800
You are worthy of your name, my
Jesus.

1038
01:05:06,280 --> 01:05:09,120
You did not speak, you made no
sound.

1039
01:05:09,120 --> 01:05:19,440
You died for your accusers.
That's you and me as you belong

1040
01:05:19,880 --> 01:05:27,760
fell to the ground.
You redefined my future every

1041
01:05:27,800 --> 01:05:33,080
step.
From the day that you rose,

1042
01:05:36,280 --> 01:05:43,760
darkness rain from the cover for
the King of Kings, His planes,

1043
01:05:44,440 --> 01:05:54,160
his throne now.
And till forever you are worthy,

1044
01:05:58,640 --> 01:06:11,160
You are worthy of your name.
You are worthy, You are worthy

1045
01:06:11,760 --> 01:06:17,120
of your name.
Jesus, we.

1046
01:06:21,280 --> 01:06:25,720
Trust you, we believe, who say
you are.

1047
01:06:40,800 --> 01:06:48,160
You're my helper, my healer, my
blessing, Redeemer, my answers,

1048
01:06:48,480 --> 01:06:51,800
my saving grace.
We're not done yet.

1049
01:06:51,800 --> 01:06:56,720
You're my hope.
In the shadows, my strength in

1050
01:06:57,520 --> 01:07:02,120
the battle, my anger for all my
dears.

1051
01:07:04,880 --> 01:07:09,960
And you stand by my side, and
you stood in my face.

1052
01:07:11,320 --> 01:07:19,720
Jesus, the one name only, Jesus,
the one name.

1053
01:07:27,440 --> 01:07:34,880
You are worthy.
You are worthy of your name.

1054
01:07:34,960 --> 01:07:46,200
You are worthy, You are worthy
of your name, You are worthy so,

1055
01:07:46,200 --> 01:07:49,720
and God you are worthy of.
Your name, yes.

1056
01:07:51,080 --> 01:07:55,240
You are worthy of you are worthy
of your name.

1057
01:08:21,720 --> 01:08:27,720
Always they know you lay brought
my heart up out of the crowd.

1058
01:08:31,200 --> 01:08:43,080
Let him erase my worthy.
You are worthy of your name.

1059
01:08:44,520 --> 01:08:54,520
You are worthy.
So worthy God, you are worthy of

1060
01:08:56,319 --> 01:09:03,880
your name, Jesus.
Come on, let's give God some

1061
01:09:03,880 --> 01:09:07,319
praise this morning.
I mean, he's so worthy of all of

1062
01:09:07,319 --> 01:09:09,439
our worship, of all of our
praise.

1063
01:09:09,439 --> 01:09:14,080
Man, you guys can take a seat.
Man, just such a reminder today.

1064
01:09:14,080 --> 01:09:18,359
Just the power of God's grace in
our lives and how we can live a

1065
01:09:18,359 --> 01:09:21,080
life that is grateful man.
Some of you recognize today for

1066
01:09:21,080 --> 01:09:24,279
the first time the grace that
God has given you in your own

1067
01:09:24,279 --> 01:09:26,760
life.
And you raised your hand during

1068
01:09:26,760 --> 01:09:30,160
that prayer and you committed
your life to Jesus today.

1069
01:09:30,640 --> 01:09:32,840
And if that is you and you
prayed that prayer, raise your

1070
01:09:32,840 --> 01:09:35,600
hand.
We are so excited for you as you

1071
01:09:35,600 --> 01:09:38,399
are taking your first steps with
your with Jesus today.

1072
01:09:38,760 --> 01:09:40,640
We got a couple things for you.
If you would grab that

1073
01:09:40,640 --> 01:09:43,120
connection card for all your
information there on the top,

1074
01:09:43,359 --> 01:09:46,560
but make sure to check that box
that says I committed my life to

1075
01:09:46,600 --> 01:09:48,359
Jesus.
And you can drop that in the

1076
01:09:48,359 --> 01:09:50,439
giving buckets as they pass here
in a few minutes.

1077
01:09:50,680 --> 01:09:53,279
But just by doing that allows us
to get you a couple things that

1078
01:09:53,279 --> 01:09:55,320
we know will just be a blessing
to you this week.

1079
01:09:55,360 --> 01:09:57,840
The first one just a free book.
It's called Begin, but it is a

1080
01:09:58,200 --> 01:10:01,360
really powerful a read and will
help you in your next steps with

1081
01:10:01,440 --> 01:10:03,360
Jesus.
Also, as you exit the worship

1082
01:10:03,360 --> 01:10:06,680
center, there's a table with
some red bags inside is a free

1083
01:10:06,680 --> 01:10:09,200
Bible just for you and a few
other resources in there for you

1084
01:10:09,200 --> 01:10:11,040
as well.
We would love to get that to you

1085
01:10:11,040 --> 01:10:13,680
this week.
And if you are newer with us at

1086
01:10:13,680 --> 01:10:16,680
Real Life Church, if this is
your first Sunday here with us,

1087
01:10:16,680 --> 01:10:19,680
thank you so much much.
We are so glad that you are here

1088
01:10:19,680 --> 01:10:21,120
today.
We've been praying for you and

1089
01:10:21,120 --> 01:10:23,960
planning for you for today just
with you in mind.

1090
01:10:23,960 --> 01:10:25,160
So thank you so much for being
here.

1091
01:10:25,160 --> 01:10:27,600
We don't want anything from you
today other than this.

1092
01:10:27,600 --> 01:10:29,680
And that's just to introduce
yourself to us.

1093
01:10:29,960 --> 01:10:32,720
And you can do that simply just
by grabbing that same connection

1094
01:10:32,720 --> 01:10:34,240
card, fill out your information
there.

1095
01:10:34,400 --> 01:10:36,640
And actually you can take it to
the New here booth as you leave

1096
01:10:37,120 --> 01:10:39,760
the worship center, just to your
right, there's a smiling face

1097
01:10:39,760 --> 01:10:41,720
there that would love to
introduce themselves to you as

1098
01:10:41,720 --> 01:10:43,640
well.
And just to get you a free gift,

1099
01:10:43,800 --> 01:10:46,960
just our way of saying thank you
so much for being here today.

1100
01:10:47,680 --> 01:10:50,880
And I just get to echo what
Pastor Sean had shared earlier

1101
01:10:51,240 --> 01:10:53,800
in the message.
I just want to say thank you to

1102
01:10:53,800 --> 01:10:57,360
those of you who turned in
commitment cards last week.

1103
01:10:57,360 --> 01:11:01,120
I mean, so far we've had 58
individuals and families commit

1104
01:11:01,120 --> 01:11:04,520
to be difference makers.
Can we give them a hand this

1105
01:11:04,520 --> 01:11:06,600
morning?
So good.

1106
01:11:07,840 --> 01:11:10,040
Yeah, thank you so much for
those of you who stepped in to

1107
01:11:10,040 --> 01:11:12,240
do that.
Man, there is still room for you

1108
01:11:12,240 --> 01:11:14,600
to jump in.
Maybe you just weren't here last

1109
01:11:14,600 --> 01:11:16,640
week as some of you I know took
that card.

1110
01:11:16,640 --> 01:11:18,680
You weren't prepared last week,
so you took that card home this

1111
01:11:18,680 --> 01:11:19,880
week and we're going to pray
over it.

1112
01:11:20,080 --> 01:11:21,480
Some of you are joining us
online.

1113
01:11:21,480 --> 01:11:23,320
We love you guys.
By the way, you're joining us

1114
01:11:23,320 --> 01:11:25,160
online.
I mean, there is still time for

1115
01:11:25,160 --> 01:11:27,000
you to give.
And so I invite you to turn a

1116
01:11:27,000 --> 01:11:29,240
commitment card in today.
You can do that just a few

1117
01:11:29,240 --> 01:11:31,680
minutes as the buckets pass, you
can drop a commitment card right

1118
01:11:31,680 --> 01:11:33,960
in there.
You can also scan the QR code

1119
01:11:33,960 --> 01:11:36,200
that's up on the screen.
That'll take you to our

1120
01:11:36,200 --> 01:11:39,240
difference Maker website and on
there is a digital commitment

1121
01:11:39,240 --> 01:11:42,280
card as well that you can turn
in that way.

1122
01:11:42,880 --> 01:11:45,200
And then this is all about 100%
participation.

1123
01:11:45,200 --> 01:11:48,040
There is room for all of us here
just to get behind all that God

1124
01:11:48,040 --> 01:11:51,960
is doing and we are excited to
see what is next for real life

1125
01:11:51,960 --> 01:11:53,920
church.
And that's why over the next few

1126
01:11:53,920 --> 01:11:56,840
weeks as we continue to collect
commitment cards, we are going

1127
01:11:56,840 --> 01:12:00,120
to celebrate all that God has
done together on Sunday,

1128
01:12:00,120 --> 01:12:03,600
December 14th for Celebration
Sunday.

1129
01:12:03,600 --> 01:12:06,440
Man, it is going to be just an
amazing day and we're still

1130
01:12:06,440 --> 01:12:08,760
working through the numbers, but
man, that is the day where we

1131
01:12:08,760 --> 01:12:11,760
get to share that committed
pledge and just be excited for

1132
01:12:11,760 --> 01:12:13,560
all that God is going to do
through that.

1133
01:12:13,880 --> 01:12:17,800
Also, that's the first Sunday
that we get to come together and

1134
01:12:17,800 --> 01:12:20,080
give together as a body of
Christ towards us.

1135
01:12:20,080 --> 01:12:23,360
Difference Maker initiative and
so on that Sunday the 14th,

1136
01:12:23,360 --> 01:12:25,720
we're just asking that you'd
bring that stored resources gift

1137
01:12:25,720 --> 01:12:29,000
so we can give 1st and kick off
this difference maker

1138
01:12:29,000 --> 01:12:31,160
initiative.
It is going to be so amazing to

1139
01:12:31,160 --> 01:12:34,320
see what God is going to do
through that And hey, if you

1140
01:12:34,320 --> 01:12:36,120

there are a lot of ways that you

1141
01:12:36,120 --> 01:12:38,840
can give you can check it out up
there on the screen.

1142
01:12:39,200 --> 01:12:42,040
You can text to give, you can
give cash or check in the

1143
01:12:42,040 --> 01:12:44,160
envelope or in the buckets that
they pass here in just a few

1144
01:12:44,160 --> 01:12:46,000
minutes.
You can head over to our website

1145
01:12:46,000 --> 01:12:47,480
to give.
There's also a giving box in the

1146
01:12:47,480 --> 01:12:50,200
back if that's more convenient
for you as well.

1147
01:12:50,400 --> 01:12:52,400
And as those buckets pass here,
and just just a minute, if you

1148
01:12:52,400 --> 01:12:55,880
and your family find yourself in
any kind of immediate need this

1149
01:12:55,880 --> 01:12:58,840
week, maybe it's food or it's
shelter, it's clothing, would

1150
01:12:58,840 --> 01:13:01,320
you please reach into those
buckets and grab any loose cash

1151
01:13:01,320 --> 01:13:04,240
that you see in there just so
that we can be a blessing to you

1152
01:13:04,240 --> 01:13:09,920
and your family this week.
Man, what a blessed day.

1153
01:13:09,920 --> 01:13:14,440
Did you guys enjoy that?
Man, just the attitude of

1154
01:13:14,440 --> 01:13:18,160
gratitude is the heart of the,
the people of God.

1155
01:13:18,440 --> 01:13:20,960
And I love how I don't care what
biblical writer is, but

1156
01:13:20,960 --> 01:13:24,480
especially Paul, he almost ends
and he almost begins and ends

1157
01:13:24,480 --> 01:13:27,200
every one of his letters with a
thankfulness to God's heart.

1158
01:13:27,520 --> 01:13:30,600
So man, I can't wait to, to, to
keep in in this series.

1159
01:13:30,600 --> 01:13:32,600
Hey, once you guys mark a couple
things in your calendar.

1160
01:13:32,840 --> 01:13:35,680
The big one is I know for all
you Christmas people, it's

1161
01:13:35,680 --> 01:13:37,440
almost Christmas.
We're not Thanksgiving out.

1162
01:13:37,440 --> 01:13:39,960
But once you mark your calendar
for Christmas Eve, man, we

1163
01:13:39,960 --> 01:13:42,360
always kill it here.
So we're going to have Christmas

1164
01:13:42,360 --> 01:13:45,080
Eve service at 2:00 and 4:00
before I start inviting your

1165
01:13:45,080 --> 01:13:47,480
family and friends.
Can't wait to hang with you, you

1166
01:13:47,480 --> 01:13:48,720
guys.
I'm really looking forward to

1167
01:13:48,720 --> 01:13:51,960
that.
Hey, I want you guys just to

1168
01:13:51,960 --> 01:13:54,560
just to be ready for next week.
We're going to continue this

1169
01:13:54,560 --> 01:13:57,080
idea of gratitude and I can't
wait for it to see what Pastor

1170
01:13:57,080 --> 01:14:00,080
Sean builds on from this week
and just to just keep pushing

1171
01:14:00,080 --> 01:14:03,160
our hearts forward just to be
thankful for what God's got for

1172
01:14:03,160 --> 01:14:06,440
us.
I want to, I want to pray or I

1173
01:14:06,440 --> 01:14:08,320
want to give you guys the
scripture and just read it over

1174
01:14:08,320 --> 01:14:09,960
you guys as you guys get ready
to go out of here.

1175
01:14:09,960 --> 01:14:12,920
And this is comes from
Colossians and this is one of my

1176
01:14:12,920 --> 01:14:15,200
favorite books from Paul.
This comes from Colossians

1177
01:14:15,200 --> 01:14:17,240
chapter 3.
And I want you guys to think of

1178
01:14:17,240 --> 01:14:20,640
it, and as you guys are heading
out over a lost and dying world

1179
01:14:20,640 --> 01:14:23,280
and take this really to heart
and what Paul's speaking to even

1180
01:14:23,280 --> 01:14:27,160
us today says, let the peace of
Christ rule in your hearts and

1181
01:14:27,160 --> 01:14:30,680
be thankful.
Let the message of Christ dwell

1182
01:14:30,680 --> 01:14:35,120
among you richly.
And whatever you do, whether in

1183
01:14:35,120 --> 01:14:40,000
Word or deed, do it all in the
name of the Lord Jesus, giving

1184
01:14:40,000 --> 01:14:42,760
thanks to God the Father through
him.

1185
01:14:43,360 --> 01:14:44,680
Amen.
You guys need prayer.

1186
01:14:44,720 --> 01:14:45,800
Yeah, Amen.
Amen.

1187
01:14:46,800 --> 01:14:48,520
If you guys do prayer for any
reason, whether it's as a

1188
01:14:48,520 --> 01:14:51,120
family, as individuals, we'd
love to pray with you up here.

1189
01:14:51,120 --> 01:14:52,920
Come pray with an elder.
Can't wait to see you guys again

1190
01:14:52,920 --> 01:14:55,760
next week and 9:00 or 10:45.
And as always, remember, whoever

1191
01:14:55,760 --> 01:14:58,200
finds Jesus discovers real life
and purpose.
