00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:50,500
God has you here, for a reason

36
00:17:50,700 --> 00:17:53,300
God has you here on purpose?

time, we are so glad to see you
38
00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:57,200

My name is Brandon, I serve here

00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:01,500
on the connection team and it is
so good to see here.
41
00:18:01,500 --> 00:18:03,500
So, how about you go ahead, give
away.
42
00:18:03,500 --> 00:18:05,800
Give a smile to someone sitting
around next to you and then
43
00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:25,600
let's have a seat.
Alright, and if you are new here
44
00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:28,300
this morning again, welcome to
real life church.
45
00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:30,600
We do have a couple next steps
for you.
46
00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:32,800
And so, I'm gonna go ahead and
bite you to pause your phone.
47
00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:34,100
Yes.
You can have your phone out at
48
00:18:34,100 --> 00:18:38,100
church and we have a couple next
steps to get just a little bit
49
00:18:38,100 --> 00:18:41,400
more plugged in here at Real
Life Church, if you can text RL
50
00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:43,700
new.
Thousand know what that's going
51
00:18:43,700 --> 00:18:46,400
to do, it's going to pull up our
digital communication card, just
52
00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:49,200
a few short questions asking for
some pretty basic information
53
00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:51,800
that we will use to help follow
up with you this week.
54
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:54,900
You can get there the same way
by scanning the QR code on the
55
00:18:54,908 --> 00:18:57,200
seat back in front of you.
And then I'll pull up that exact
56
00:18:57,200 --> 00:18:59,700
same link if you are joining us
in person.
57
00:18:59,700 --> 00:19:02,600
Today, I invite you immediately
after the Gathering to join us
58
00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:05,400
at our new here Booth where we
do have a small gift for you.
59
00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:08,800
Just for making today, your home
for your church home.
60
00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:11,800
So thank you for that.
It's tell you a little bit more
61
00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:13,800
about Real Life Church who we
are.
62
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:18,100
We are at church on Mission and
you know, EC walk in here you
63
00:19:18,100 --> 00:19:20,700
probably overwhelmed by all the
lights, all the pipe and drape
64
00:19:20,700 --> 00:19:22,600
everything that we do to make
this.
65
00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:25,100
You know, this is our church
every single week.
66
00:19:25,100 --> 00:19:27,200
And why do we do it?
You know, why are we here?
67
00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:29,600
Why do we exist?
Is because of this Mission, this
68
00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:33,000
mission right here behind me to
see people far from God discover
69
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:36,600
their real life and purpose in.
Jesus and guys have you been
70
00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:39,100
enjoying this breakout Series?
So far to start off the year?
71
00:19:40,300 --> 00:19:43,000
If you're like me, you come in
every Sunday morning, you ready
72
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:45,600
fired up?
And then the Wii comes and you
73
00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:48,900
kind of maybe forget what those
resolutions are what you're
74
00:19:48,900 --> 00:19:51,600
trying to accomplish.
And so let's be reminded today
75
00:19:51,700 --> 00:19:53,900
that this is a, not an easy
thing to do.
76
00:19:54,100 --> 00:19:57,200
But if we continue to make those
small changes in our lives, we
77
00:19:57,200 --> 00:19:59,400
will see our breakout, you
really come to fruition.
78
00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:02,600
So, let's get over Pastor Sean,
as we go into the word today.
79
00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:08,500
Come on.
How you guys doing?
80
00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:12,100
Get a few Chiefs fans in the
house.
81
00:20:12,100 --> 00:20:16,900
I see.
Oh yeah, we'll see, no Donuts
82
00:20:16,900 --> 00:20:18,700
this year.
It's all you have to say if your
83
00:20:18,700 --> 00:20:22,800
last year that stung.
So anyway, man, are you guys
84
00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:24,700
feeling spirit guide your life
this year so far?
85
00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:27,400
You feeling that the hand of
God, just moving you a little
86
00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:29,500
bit.
Maybe this Series has been just
87
00:20:29,500 --> 00:20:31,900
kind of wake-up call really, for
me personally.
88
00:20:31,900 --> 00:20:34,700
And for all of us is diving into
what it is to follow.
89
00:20:34,700 --> 00:20:37,200
God, a different level.
And if you've been with us for a
90
00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:39,300
little bit of time or be a new
day, I mean, kind of lead you
91
00:20:39,300 --> 00:20:42,800
through been and it Started out
really talk about ignition known
92
00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:45,500
your personal, call read Vigor
and reigniting.
93
00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:47,800
The things of God in your life
and talk about Paul and how
94
00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:50,900
God's hand was on him and he
followed God's call to Gentiles
95
00:20:50,900 --> 00:20:54,400
and literally went before Kings
and preached, the gospel, if you
96
00:20:54,408 --> 00:20:56,200
remember the story, we're back
to David and Goliath.
97
00:20:56,200 --> 00:20:58,600
And how one man stepped on the
battlefield and everything
98
00:20:58,600 --> 00:20:59,600
changed.
Amen.
99
00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:02,700
And last week, man, going
through, Daniel in the Lion's
100
00:21:02,700 --> 00:21:05,300
Den.
Now one man marked by prayer and
101
00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:08,200
when a nation is against him,
praise to God.
102
00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:10,500
And not only leads a nation and
out of captivity.
103
00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:13,100
But the glory of God goes around
the world.
104
00:21:13,100 --> 00:21:15,700
Amen.
And so today, we've just woven
105
00:21:15,700 --> 00:21:17,900
through really kind of what it
takes to take off and take
106
00:21:17,900 --> 00:21:19,900
flight and to be fueled in the
air through prayer.
107
00:21:20,100 --> 00:21:22,100
And I want to talk about today,
something very specific.
108
00:21:22,300 --> 00:21:24,900
Something I think that just
where we're at in this series
109
00:21:25,100 --> 00:21:28,800
ruled the boldness to go to
somewhere that's Uncharted to
110
00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:32,200
break the limits of your
circumstance and really today as
111
00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:35,300
Christians to break the limits
of our current faith.
112
00:21:35,500 --> 00:21:37,500
And so they were going to talk
about is to be Uncharted.
113
00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:40,400
You think about people, we offer
are limited by voice.
114
00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:42,900
It's in our life, we've talked
about that but also limited by
115
00:21:42,900 --> 00:21:46,000
your own failures and learned by
our circumstances around us.
116
00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:49,600
And so I want to encourage you
really the list of people that
117
00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:52,300
you're going to recognize that
we're limited by circumstances,
118
00:21:52,300 --> 00:21:55,700
by their own failure by those
around them and broke through
119
00:21:55,700 --> 00:21:57,800
the limits.
And so, there's a few people,
120
00:21:57,800 --> 00:22:00,600
you might recognize the first
is, this is Beethoven, he was
121
00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:02,800
told by his music teacher,
that's composer.
122
00:22:02,900 --> 00:22:05,500
He had no hope for that person
was wrong.
123
00:22:05,500 --> 00:22:09,100
Right thing about Thomas Edison,
his high school teacher told me
124
00:22:09,100 --> 00:22:12,300
that he was so stupid.
The quote, he could not learn
125
00:22:12,300 --> 00:22:14,400
anything.
And they think about him after
126
00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:16,100
it really 10,000 times of
trying.
127
00:22:16,100 --> 00:22:18,200
He perfected the incandescent
light bulb.
128
00:22:18,300 --> 00:22:20,800
Hallelujah, amen.
Praise God, you know, changed
129
00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:22,700
our lives right now, fact.
I think about him.
130
00:22:22,700 --> 00:22:24,700
It's like maybe just too stupid
to quit on his dream.
131
00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:27,200
He's just too stupid to keep
going after it.
132
00:22:27,300 --> 00:22:30,400
Not to be defeated by somebody
else's voice in his life.
133
00:22:30,500 --> 00:22:32,100
You think about Walt Disney,
Kansas City?
134
00:22:32,100 --> 00:22:34,400
Come on somebody.
I know what editor said this to
135
00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:37,000
him of a newspaper, but he told
Walt Disney had quote.
136
00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:40,700
No good ideas, dude.
I know about you, but But
137
00:22:40,700 --> 00:22:43,300
there's probably none greater,
they had ideas and creation than
138
00:22:43,300 --> 00:22:46,300
Walt Disney himself.
You think about this Apollo
139
00:22:46,300 --> 00:22:49,100
missions that went to the moon,
the chief engineer for the
140
00:22:49,100 --> 00:22:50,800
politicians was Warner Von
Braun.
141
00:22:51,100 --> 00:22:54,200
And he had failed, ninth grade
algebra believe that he's
142
00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:55,700
probably bored.
Come on somebody, right?
143
00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:58,600
But he could have been defeated.
He could have given up.
144
00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:01,300
He could have been labeled a
failure, but instead he got back
145
00:23:01,300 --> 00:23:04,400
up and kept pursuing, I learn
this is pretty unique to Abraham
146
00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:06,500
Lincoln.
He lost 18 elections on his
147
00:23:06,500 --> 00:23:08,700
journey become president.
Now credible.
148
00:23:09,100 --> 00:23:11,300
I mean, I don't know about you
but I wouldn't go. 18 times.
149
00:23:11,300 --> 00:23:15,100
Come on right but just to get up
and go and just had a passion
150
00:23:15,100 --> 00:23:17,400
and a drive.
Drove him through all of these
151
00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:19,700
failures.
There's a little-known guy.
152
00:23:19,700 --> 00:23:21,800
You might know them if you're
into science and all but name's
153
00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:24,500
Louise pasture and he's a French
scientist.
154
00:23:24,500 --> 00:23:27,700
He came with the pasteurization
process is a famous for the
155
00:23:27,700 --> 00:23:30,300
father of microbiology and he
was told by his chemistry
156
00:23:30,300 --> 00:23:33,800
teacher in college that he was
mediocre at best at chemistry.
157
00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:37,400
I'm you think about these people
and all the voices that could
158
00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:40,300
have just gotten off track or
maybe their own failure?
159
00:23:40,500 --> 00:23:43,400
Or their own circumstance, but I
don't know about you and what
160
00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:46,500
your experience is, but by love
the incandescent light bulb.
161
00:23:46,500 --> 00:23:49,300
Come on somebody, I mean the
Fifth Symphony.
162
00:23:49,300 --> 00:23:50,900
Come on!
Some it dumb dumb dumb dumb that
163
00:23:50,900 --> 00:23:52,700
song probably came from when he
got that bad news.
164
00:23:52,700 --> 00:23:54,900
They can't do anything.
He's got motivated to write that
165
00:23:54,900 --> 00:23:56,400
song at that moment.
Right?
166
00:23:56,400 --> 00:23:57,800
You know I'm saying just like
that downtown to.
167
00:23:57,800 --> 00:23:59,500
Thank you.
Goodbye.
168
00:23:59,700 --> 00:24:02,800
I mean just amazing, right?
You think about the light bulb?
169
00:24:02,900 --> 00:24:05,100
I know, you know this but Thomas
Edison has became the founder
170
00:24:05,100 --> 00:24:08,300
and CEO of what you currently
know as General Electric.
171
00:24:08,700 --> 00:24:12,200
Thank God for GE that we Really
have the wherewithal and the
172
00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:13,700
median to live in this
generation.
173
00:24:13,700 --> 00:24:16,500
And how do we have?
I love most Disney movies.
174
00:24:16,500 --> 00:24:18,600
They've gotten kind of strange
literally lately.
175
00:24:19,900 --> 00:24:21,100
You haven't seen it?
That's okay.
176
00:24:21,700 --> 00:24:23,900
I know my kids they love
spending five thousand dollars
177
00:24:23,900 --> 00:24:26,000
or their parents money to go to
Disneyland and Disney World.
178
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:28,100
Come on, somebody all the
children said, amen.
179
00:24:28,100 --> 00:24:31,100
Praise God, you know, right?
I love space exploration.
180
00:24:31,100 --> 00:24:35,400
I love watching people and just
take Innovation and go into new
181
00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:38,900
boundaries and do limits and to
push beyond the status quo and
182
00:24:38,900 --> 00:24:40,400
to see what has been
accomplished his face.
183
00:24:40,500 --> 00:24:42,100
It's absolutely amazing.
I'm about you had less
184
00:24:42,100 --> 00:24:43,600
pasteurize milk.
Come on somebody.
185
00:24:43,700 --> 00:24:45,100
Hashtag Chateau.
Come on.
186
00:24:45,100 --> 00:24:46,900
Where's my Chateau people?
That's good.
187
00:24:46,900 --> 00:24:48,000
Just dying.
That's great.
188
00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:50,800
Yep.
It e granola woman over there.
189
00:24:51,300 --> 00:24:53,200
It's great you drive up and is
like what's that bot?
190
00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:55,200
Au.
Chateau people don't judge me.
191
00:24:55,200 --> 00:24:57,900
Come on somebody right.
Drop a diesel but we have
192
00:24:57,900 --> 00:25:00,700
Chateau, it's great but I will
tell you this year is your
193
00:25:00,700 --> 00:25:02,500
breakout year, but we got to
move beyond the limits for God.
194
00:25:02,500 --> 00:25:04,900
Amen.
We gotta move into Uncharted
195
00:25:04,900 --> 00:25:06,900
Territory.
I mean, we're not going to play
196
00:25:06,900 --> 00:25:09,800
it safe as Christians, you never
change the role by playing it
197
00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:11,800
safe.
Like we got to go to places that
198
00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:14,800
God is calling us to go.
We gotta move when other people
199
00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:16,700
say.
It's not possible when it's even
200
00:25:16,700 --> 00:25:19,100
beyond your own faith.
You've got to take another step
201
00:25:19,100 --> 00:25:19,900
of Faith.
Amen.
202
00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:23,900
When they say the fruit is out
on the limb, you've got to go
203
00:25:23,900 --> 00:25:26,300
where God is calling you to go.
Do you think the god of the
204
00:25:26,300 --> 00:25:31,100
universe created, you sent Jesus
to be crucified on the cross and
205
00:25:31,100 --> 00:25:35,200
saved you in Porter's, Holy
Spirit into, you generously to
206
00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:37,900
play it safe.
Do you think he wants to be
207
00:25:37,900 --> 00:25:40,100
limited by other people's
realities?
208
00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:43,700
Do you think he wants you to
stay comfortable or to move into
209
00:25:43,700 --> 00:25:47,100
the places that he has for you?
Here's what I know, one day.
210
00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:51,300
Your legacy will built on the
faith and the boundaries that
211
00:25:51,300 --> 00:25:53,700
you went into the one day.
People are going to thank God
212
00:25:53,700 --> 00:25:55,400
for you.
If you take the space of God's
213
00:25:55,400 --> 00:25:57,800
called you to take, if you take
the ground that God's called you
214
00:25:57,808 --> 00:25:59,500
to take, you think about your
life.
215
00:25:59,500 --> 00:26:02,800
I'm sure you're thankful for the
people that went before you that
216
00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:06,000
had enough Faith to tell you
about Jesus, amen.
217
00:26:06,300 --> 00:26:08,200
Cuz I'm sure it was awkward,
right?
218
00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:10,300
It was weird how it went down
the friends.
219
00:26:10,500 --> 00:26:12,700
Divide, your, maybe, your
parents are or whatever.
220
00:26:12,700 --> 00:26:14,900
Right?
I think about my story and just
221
00:26:14,900 --> 00:26:18,900
from a personal level thankful
for those in my life, the
222
00:26:18,900 --> 00:26:22,400
honored God by taking off work
on Sunday to show up and teach a
223
00:26:22,408 --> 00:26:27,300
nobody about somebody, come on
about Jesus and they cared for
224
00:26:27,300 --> 00:26:31,200
me and love me to Jesus.
And that was a talk about a
225
00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:36,400
youth group leader that has a
full-time job somewhere else.
226
00:26:36,700 --> 00:26:40,600
Working at his tail off in the
business world, but take Take
227
00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:42,900
time off to pour into somebody
like me.
228
00:26:43,100 --> 00:26:45,800
Now, there's nothing sexy about
serving in youth group.
229
00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:49,100
Come on somebody.
Yeah, I know you got some here,
230
00:26:49,100 --> 00:26:50,200
right?
And what do you tell your
231
00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:53,100
friends on Sunday night, right?
Hey, you wanna hang out?
232
00:26:53,100 --> 00:26:54,900
I know, man.
I'm like, got this, I'm going
233
00:26:54,900 --> 00:26:56,500
this youth group.
And I'm like, pulling his kids
234
00:26:56,500 --> 00:26:59,100
for Jesus like, okay, you know,
whatever man, right.
235
00:26:59,200 --> 00:27:01,500
I mean, it's just weird, right?
But the reality is, for those
236
00:27:01,500 --> 00:27:03,300
people.
Pour your life into the forever
237
00:27:03,300 --> 00:27:04,700
change for the kingdom of God,
Amen.
238
00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:09,300
It is going beyond the boundary.
It's abnormal for people to take
239
00:27:09,300 --> 00:27:12,000
time out of their life.
Give it to God, it is very
240
00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:14,500
abnormal but I believe people
can thank God for their fourth
241
00:27:14,500 --> 00:27:15,800
grade.
When you a call Sunday school,
242
00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:19,000
teacher or real-life kid leader
that when they look back and say
243
00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:21,100
thank you Miss Christy.
Thank you for those people who
244
00:27:21,100 --> 00:27:23,500
served for point in my life
because wasn't for you I
245
00:27:23,500 --> 00:27:25,300
wouldn't be here today.
There's so many you that have
246
00:27:25,300 --> 00:27:27,900
those stories, right?
I mean people can thank God for
247
00:27:27,900 --> 00:27:29,500
the Hope Center.
They got counseling and that
248
00:27:29,500 --> 00:27:32,500
freedom and they met adults that
love God and love them and
249
00:27:32,500 --> 00:27:34,400
they're forever changed as
teenagers because your youth
250
00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:36,000
groups going to meet there.
Amen.
251
00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:39,000
This was called by faith, not by
sight.
252
00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:41,400
It makes no sense on a fan.
Shal spreadsheet.
253
00:27:41,400 --> 00:27:43,300
There's a lot of better things
to do.
254
00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:45,700
They're all too busy to do
things, but the reality is, God
255
00:27:45,700 --> 00:27:50,900
is calling us to live by faith
and what we can't see in him.
256
00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:52,500
So, I wonder how Mr day would
leave here.
257
00:27:52,500 --> 00:27:55,200
And say, you know, I'll be bold,
I'm a breakthrough year, I'm
258
00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:57,100
going to do things that go
against the grain.
259
00:27:57,200 --> 00:27:58,800
I'm gonna move into uncharted
waters.
260
00:27:58,900 --> 00:28:01,200
I'm going to step out in faith.
That makes no sense that people
261
00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:03,700
around me, even my family and my
enemies.
262
00:28:03,700 --> 00:28:05,800
It makes no sense.
I'm going to follow God.
263
00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:08,300
Where is called me on, least
willing today to say yes to
264
00:28:08,300 --> 00:28:12,900
Jesus at every single level.
No longer limited by what they
265
00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:15,500
think of me or what if I mess
up.
266
00:28:15,500 --> 00:28:17,100
So, what if you mess up?
Come on somebody.
267
00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:19,900
You learn from your failure.
A man, I don't know what to say.
268
00:28:19,900 --> 00:28:21,500
You hear all the time, don't say
well, you will learn what to
269
00:28:21,500 --> 00:28:23,100
say, right?
You'll bar phone.
270
00:28:23,100 --> 00:28:25,700
Jesus out a little bit and then
you get better right on too
271
00:28:25,700 --> 00:28:27,300
busy.
It's like, do you got different
272
00:28:27,300 --> 00:28:29,400
values?
You're not too busy to leave the
273
00:28:29,400 --> 00:28:31,500
cause of Christ.
I've never done that before.
274
00:28:31,900 --> 00:28:33,000
No.
No, you're going to learn some
275
00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:34,000
new ways to do it.
Amen.
276
00:28:34,200 --> 00:28:35,800
We're gonna try some new things
this year.
277
00:28:36,100 --> 00:28:37,300
Well, maybe when the kids leave
home?
278
00:28:37,300 --> 00:28:39,900
No, no, they need it now a
couple days ago.
279
00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:42,600
My daughter.
She's four years old and she
280
00:28:42,600 --> 00:28:44,900
wanted to see mommy's wedding
dress because they pulled the
281
00:28:44,908 --> 00:28:46,900
box out because we've warned
that so many times, right?
282
00:28:46,900 --> 00:28:49,000
Essence that they end up.
So they pulled the box out and
283
00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:51,300
go get some pictures and so
Diane gets to the wedding book
284
00:28:51,300 --> 00:28:53,400
and, you know, dust that thing
off, right?
285
00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:55,400
And so, flip through the
pictures and you're seeing all
286
00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:57,300
these memories in a room and
listening and just sharing
287
00:28:57,300 --> 00:29:00,000
stories and all this and no.
And I just be real honest with
288
00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:02,700
you.
We aren't getting any younger.
289
00:29:03,300 --> 00:29:05,200
Come on, somebody.
Have you gone back to your
290
00:29:05,208 --> 00:29:10,200
wedding pictures recently now,
Diane she's exception.
291
00:29:10,500 --> 00:29:13,000
Also about it right but we're
not getting any younger I'm like
292
00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:15,200
wow.
Okay and we got to move in a
293
00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:18,100
direction.
We have lived by faith.
294
00:29:18,100 --> 00:29:20,700
You know, it's been 15 years
since that day and a lots
295
00:29:20,700 --> 00:29:23,200
changed, you know?
I don't know you skipped like
296
00:29:23,500 --> 00:29:26,000
pant sizes and those years, you
know I'm saying, like just I'll
297
00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:28,300
know you go from like, 32 up.
It's just, there's not even
298
00:29:28,500 --> 00:29:30,600
whatever, right?
Just what happens, we're not
299
00:29:30,600 --> 00:29:32,800
getting younger, but the reality
is this, and I truly believe
300
00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:36,200
this, that so many of us are
limited by fear or limb by
301
00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:40,500
circumstance or limited by our
very faith that we almost Can
302
00:29:40,500 --> 00:29:44,200
limit the work of God and the
kingdom of God into extinction
303
00:29:44,300 --> 00:29:49,900
by delaying and deferring, the
mission that God has for us.
304
00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:55,200
You think about it.
If it's not us then who who who
305
00:29:55,200 --> 00:29:58,900
will carry the mantle of the
cause of Christ forward in our
306
00:29:59,300 --> 00:30:01,400
generation.
So I'm going to damn is zoom in
307
00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:03,300
and it's give you awesome
because we resume in the Hall of
308
00:30:03,300 --> 00:30:06,400
Fame of Faith, Hebrews 11, if
you're not familiar going to get
309
00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:08,400
familiar.
I mean this, this is just as
310
00:30:08,400 --> 00:30:11,600
like the the Medal of Honor
First, you know, the Purple
311
00:30:11,600 --> 00:30:13,900
Heart.
This is it like this is like the
312
00:30:13,900 --> 00:30:18,000
men and women that led the way
of ancient times with faith.
313
00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:21,000
And so I'll do a day, is this
invite you guys to invite God to
314
00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:23,300
speaking to you today.
So you guys can put your hands
315
00:30:23,300 --> 00:30:25,200
out be doing this through the
series just to get in the
316
00:30:25,208 --> 00:30:27,900
presence of God knows going to
pray over you and to invite God
317
00:30:27,900 --> 00:30:30,600
to speak into your life.
Father, we come before you and I
318
00:30:30,600 --> 00:30:32,300
pray you speak a word in to us
today.
319
00:30:32,300 --> 00:30:37,300
God, that we live by bold faith.
God, if you replace fear in our
320
00:30:37,300 --> 00:30:42,200
hearts your place the temporary,
the sir From Stan's the voices,
321
00:30:42,400 --> 00:30:44,900
with the Eternal, with the
Unseen.
322
00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:49,000
And today we live by faith.
Not by sight.
323
00:30:49,100 --> 00:30:52,600
Not by fear, not by worry, not
by yield now my own
324
00:30:52,600 --> 00:30:54,500
righteousness.
God, but we just step-by-step
325
00:30:54,500 --> 00:30:56,100
follow you.
So you got speak to us.
326
00:30:56,400 --> 00:30:58,900
God, you're surfing is here.
So speak got here.
327
00:30:58,900 --> 00:31:01,200
My send me got wherever you call
me to go.
328
00:31:01,200 --> 00:31:04,500
I'm willing to go and I pray
this in Jesus name and the
329
00:31:04,500 --> 00:31:07,600
church said, amen.
And so, we're going to dive in
330
00:31:07,608 --> 00:31:10,800
the Hall of Fame of faith and
really there's so many Lessons
331
00:31:10,800 --> 00:31:12,600
of faith in here.
I mean obviously we're not going
332
00:31:12,600 --> 00:31:15,900
to be able to go deep dive on
all these but I encourage you,
333
00:31:16,100 --> 00:31:18,300
if you're looking for a word
that's going to speak to your
334
00:31:18,300 --> 00:31:21,600
heart man get into Hebrews. 11
will jump in and verse 1 says
335
00:31:21,600 --> 00:31:24,500
this.
Now, Faith is the confidence of
336
00:31:24,500 --> 00:31:28,300
the word confidence is simply
trust in what we hope for and
337
00:31:28,300 --> 00:31:31,500
Assurance, this insurance is a
positive belief, it's an
338
00:31:31,500 --> 00:31:34,000
affirmation vote and all the
things of God.
339
00:31:34,100 --> 00:31:36,900
And so now Faith is confidence
will hope for and Assurance
340
00:31:36,900 --> 00:31:40,200
about, we have not seen, this is
what the Ancients to talk.
341
00:31:40,300 --> 00:31:43,800
About the Ancients of Faith were
commended for this is what these
342
00:31:43,800 --> 00:31:46,300
ancients were praised for.
When you got done, the end of
343
00:31:46,308 --> 00:31:48,600
the race when you're going
through the Gates of Heaven is
344
00:31:48,600 --> 00:31:50,700
like, man, this is it.
You're a big Faith.
345
00:31:50,700 --> 00:31:51,900
This is why they were plotted
this.
346
00:31:51,900 --> 00:31:53,800
Why they're saluted?
This is why they got the Medal
347
00:31:53,800 --> 00:31:55,500
of Honor.
This was it.
348
00:31:55,500 --> 00:31:59,300
They live by faith and so they
were going to see the story of
349
00:31:59,300 --> 00:32:02,000
all these ancients woven
together and rule the gold day
350
00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:03,600
is not to get Faith into your
head.
351
00:32:03,700 --> 00:32:06,200
The goal today is get Faith.
Great faith.
352
00:32:06,400 --> 00:32:08,500
Mountain-moving faith into our
hearts, amen.
353
00:32:09,100 --> 00:32:11,900
There's a lot of many There's
not a lot of people have great
354
00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:15,300
faith and so you can see over
this chapter is going to be 23
355
00:32:15,300 --> 00:32:18,600
times and it's more but just the
phrase by Faith by Faith, by
356
00:32:18,600 --> 00:32:20,400
faith.
This person that person, this
357
00:32:20,400 --> 00:32:23,600
person that person there's more
stories of faith and the 23, but
358
00:32:23,600 --> 00:32:26,800
says this in verse 3, it says by
faith, we understand that the
359
00:32:26,800 --> 00:32:31,500
Universe was formed at what
helped me out at I God's
360
00:32:31,500 --> 00:32:34,900
commands by faith, we believe we
didn't come out of some some
361
00:32:34,900 --> 00:32:38,400
premortal sludge that it wasn't
an accident or just happened
362
00:32:38,400 --> 00:32:41,100
chance or some evolutionary
moment of time.
363
00:32:41,200 --> 00:32:45,900
But by faith we believe that God
commanded he spoke the universe
364
00:32:45,900 --> 00:32:48,300
into existence.
Now by happened chance and so
365
00:32:48,300 --> 00:32:51,500
that what was seen was not made
out of what is visible.
366
00:32:51,700 --> 00:32:54,400
I love this, when God decided to
create the universe to create
367
00:32:54,400 --> 00:32:58,100
the cosmos when God decided to
create everything we know and
368
00:32:58,100 --> 00:33:03,200
see and look at he simply Lee
spoke it into existence.
369
00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:07,100
A men, who knows when God speaks
Everything Changes, like I don't
370
00:33:07,100 --> 00:33:10,600
limit the voice of God to you.
I mean if God says left, it just
371
00:33:10,600 --> 00:33:12,800
turns left, he says, stars are
stars his light.
372
00:33:12,900 --> 00:33:15,400
He says see he says, oh she says
land, boom.
373
00:33:15,500 --> 00:33:16,900
It is something very specific
for us though.
374
00:33:16,900 --> 00:33:19,600
He formed us out dirt and
intimate, formed us, and gave us
375
00:33:19,800 --> 00:33:22,300
a living soul.
And that's why we're the only
376
00:33:22,300 --> 00:33:24,700
thing create an image of God and
we know God, there's a
377
00:33:24,700 --> 00:33:26,400
god-shaped hole in each of Our
Lives.
378
00:33:26,600 --> 00:33:30,300
The only God can fill separates
us from all rest of creation.
379
00:33:30,600 --> 00:33:34,400
Verse 4 says this by faith Abel
brought got a better offer than
380
00:33:34,400 --> 00:33:37,500
Cain did by faith.
He was commended, he was
381
00:33:37,500 --> 00:33:42,000
applauded as a righteous when
God spoke well of his offering
382
00:33:42,300 --> 00:33:44,500
maybe even a real story of Cain
and Abel is the second
383
00:33:44,500 --> 00:33:47,300
generation of humanity and
enables bringing a better
384
00:33:47,300 --> 00:33:50,700
offering to God than Cain is
able to his first Roots.
385
00:33:50,700 --> 00:33:53,700
Remember that he took his the
first of the flocks to give the
386
00:33:53,700 --> 00:33:56,800
very best to God and Kane.
He decided to give God his
387
00:33:56,800 --> 00:34:00,200
leftovers, but Abel was being
commended and came became very
388
00:34:00,200 --> 00:34:01,900
jealous.
Ellis and says this, and by
389
00:34:01,900 --> 00:34:05,900
faith Abel still speaks even
though he's dead, this is an
390
00:34:05,900 --> 00:34:07,200
amazing verse because you read
this.
391
00:34:07,200 --> 00:34:09,600
Like what in the world is this?
Talk about that able still
392
00:34:09,600 --> 00:34:13,600
speaking today to happened.
That story is King got jealousy,
393
00:34:13,600 --> 00:34:17,400
met a ball on the field and he
killed, he took Abel out and he
394
00:34:17,400 --> 00:34:19,400
killed him and his blood was
shed in Outfield.
395
00:34:19,500 --> 00:34:22,300
And it says this in Genesis
4:10, it says the Lord said to
396
00:34:22,300 --> 00:34:26,500
Cain, what have you done?
Listen, your brother's blood
397
00:34:26,500 --> 00:34:31,900
cries out to me from the ground.
Now, I love this verse because
398
00:34:31,900 --> 00:34:34,800
what's happened is that even
though able is dead, which by
399
00:34:34,800 --> 00:34:36,800
the way, he's the first martyr
for God.
400
00:34:37,100 --> 00:34:39,600
Amen is very interesting to
think about, but it was the
401
00:34:39,600 --> 00:34:42,000
second generation that the first
martyr, because Abel's, living
402
00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:45,500
by faith and was killed for his
faith because he pleased God.
403
00:34:45,699 --> 00:34:48,900
And so, his blood is crying out.
It's crying out for against
404
00:34:48,900 --> 00:34:53,900
Justice against sin and God of
all God hears, the voice of
405
00:34:53,900 --> 00:34:57,100
Abel's blood is crying out.
Even speaking till today.
406
00:34:57,400 --> 00:34:59,600
Now, what's amazing about this
is even if you die for your
407
00:34:59,600 --> 00:35:01,800
faith.
I know we're going heavy, right?
408
00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:04,800
But if you had died for your
faith, that got that the world
409
00:35:04,800 --> 00:35:09,000
may Kill the Messenger, but the
message lives on, Amen.
410
00:35:09,600 --> 00:35:13,300
There's a reason they call it
the voice of the martyrs because
411
00:35:13,300 --> 00:35:17,100
the blood still speaks Justice.
And I think about the second
412
00:35:17,100 --> 00:35:21,100
generation is still crying out
to God for justice against sin,
413
00:35:21,300 --> 00:35:22,500
and, and there's a great
parallel.
414
00:35:22,500 --> 00:35:25,300
We're not gonna be able to get
into it today, but God, but
415
00:35:25,300 --> 00:35:27,900
Jesus blood speaks a better word
v, read Hebrews, 13.
416
00:35:27,900 --> 00:35:30,300
You're going to enjoy that.
And we may get to that in our
417
00:35:30,600 --> 00:35:34,900
It's the series right Easter,
but it's amazing to see how
418
00:35:34,900 --> 00:35:38,900
faith of able led to his voice.
Still speaking long, past his
419
00:35:38,900 --> 00:35:42,800
life and the Legacy, we leave is
really built on the foundation
420
00:35:42,800 --> 00:35:45,000
of faith that we live in every
single day.
421
00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:47,500
We make that choice.
Hebrews 11:5 says, this by
422
00:35:47,500 --> 00:35:50,600
faith, Enoch was taken from this
life.
423
00:35:50,700 --> 00:35:53,800
So he did not experience death,
he could not be found.
424
00:35:53,800 --> 00:35:55,800
I love that.
This is the way to go right here
425
00:35:56,100 --> 00:35:59,500
because God had taken him away.
Now, I know if you're familiar
426
00:35:59,500 --> 00:36:02,600
with this story, there's two
different times in the Bible,
427
00:36:02,800 --> 00:36:04,700
where somebody doesn't die,
there's taken straight to
428
00:36:04,700 --> 00:36:06,700
heaven.
And so Enoch is says in these
429
00:36:06,700 --> 00:36:10,100
translated to heaven, and he's
just gone, and he's just
430
00:36:10,100 --> 00:36:11,400
amazing.
And I know, you know, Elijah
431
00:36:11,400 --> 00:36:12,900
story, right?
Like that Chariot of fire like
432
00:36:12,900 --> 00:36:14,600
rides up.
That's the way to exit.
433
00:36:14,600 --> 00:36:17,200
Amen.
That's the way to go, just skip
434
00:36:17,200 --> 00:36:20,300
the whole process, get the view,
the world been cruising out to
435
00:36:20,300 --> 00:36:21,800
Heaven.
I mean, this is it.
436
00:36:21,800 --> 00:36:25,600
So Enoch, he looks so much like
heaven that he wasn't worthy to
437
00:36:25,600 --> 00:36:28,500
live on earth anymore.
That's what it means to live by
438
00:36:28,500 --> 00:36:29,300
faith.
Amen.
439
00:36:29,900 --> 00:36:31,600
I'm yes, sir.
Much of God in you.
440
00:36:31,600 --> 00:36:33,900
That guy was like, it's time to
come home now.
441
00:36:33,900 --> 00:36:36,100
I think that should be, we
should be the generation of the
442
00:36:36,107 --> 00:36:37,200
Chariot of fire.
Amen.
443
00:36:37,700 --> 00:36:39,900
We should be the generation that
God says, send down some
444
00:36:39,900 --> 00:36:42,400
chariots for those boys, because
they've been living by faith so
445
00:36:42,400 --> 00:36:43,800
much.
Let's go and take him up to
446
00:36:43,800 --> 00:36:46,200
heaven because we're Earth is
even worthy of them.
447
00:36:46,400 --> 00:36:50,000
Get ahead of myself.
But man, I really am.
448
00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:52,400
But I'm telling you living by
faith.
449
00:36:52,500 --> 00:36:55,600
And then there he says this for
he was taken, he was commended
450
00:36:55,600 --> 00:36:57,900
his applauded.
You saluted as one who pleased
451
00:36:57,900 --> 00:37:00,300
God made the greatest honor, we
get to have.
452
00:37:00,400 --> 00:37:02,500
In this life is to please God.
Amen.
453
00:37:02,800 --> 00:37:05,100
Not to police people.
People always gonna be able to
454
00:37:05,107 --> 00:37:06,800
share with you if they're not
upset with you.
455
00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:08,900
Then you part of the problem.
Come on somebody.
456
00:37:09,300 --> 00:37:11,000
It's true.
You're pushing uphill.
457
00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:13,600
You live in a fallen culture,
you live under a Fallen Kingdom
458
00:37:13,600 --> 00:37:15,600
but we serve the king.
And so we move forward in a
459
00:37:15,600 --> 00:37:17,100
direction.
God is calling us to go.
460
00:37:17,400 --> 00:37:19,400
He was letting 6 and this is the
first you got to put in your
461
00:37:19,400 --> 00:37:21,500
heart.
This is really the disgrace of
462
00:37:21,508 --> 00:37:23,300
scripture.
The faith it says without faith,
463
00:37:23,300 --> 00:37:28,000
it is what it is.
It's impossible to please God,
464
00:37:28,200 --> 00:37:31,000
what that's saying is no matter
what you do, no matter what you
465
00:37:31,008 --> 00:37:34,000
accumulate and my what you buy,
then what you give the church,
466
00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:36,800
how much you read the Bible?
Now about you, you pray or how
467
00:37:36,800 --> 00:37:40,500
much you come or whatever you do
in life is all secondary.
468
00:37:40,700 --> 00:37:44,200
Could never please God compared
to your faith.
469
00:37:44,500 --> 00:37:46,300
And so they good question is,
where is your faith?
470
00:37:46,300 --> 00:37:50,500
That adds, how much is God,
pleased by your faith, says
471
00:37:50,500 --> 00:37:52,600
this, because anyone who comes
to him, must believe that he
472
00:37:52,600 --> 00:37:57,300
exists and that he rewards those
who Earnestly seek him.
473
00:37:57,600 --> 00:37:59,500
I think my earnestly seek Him,
man.
474
00:37:59,500 --> 00:38:02,400
That's like intense conviction.
It's like when you open the
475
00:38:02,400 --> 00:38:05,000
Bible and start reading it and
you're like, this is so true.
476
00:38:05,100 --> 00:38:08,200
Come on, speak to me.
God, yes, that's good.
477
00:38:08,300 --> 00:38:10,600
I'm gonna follow that and it
doesn't just transform your
478
00:38:10,600 --> 00:38:12,600
mind.
It transforms your life, it
479
00:38:12,607 --> 00:38:15,700
transforms your heart because
you are trusting Jesus, because
480
00:38:15,700 --> 00:38:17,400
he is faithful.
Amen.
481
00:38:17,900 --> 00:38:20,000
And so those who come by faith,
please God.
482
00:38:20,000 --> 00:38:21,700
And so you may be wondering
like, man, why don't I get off
483
00:38:21,700 --> 00:38:23,300
the ground?
It may be because you've been
484
00:38:23,300 --> 00:38:25,100
doing it your own power and your
own strength.
485
00:38:25,300 --> 00:38:28,500
And your own will but you need
to live in the faith of God.
486
00:38:28,600 --> 00:38:30,800
I'll say this, there's a huge
difference between faith and
487
00:38:30,800 --> 00:38:33,400
belief.
You think about a smoker right?
488
00:38:33,600 --> 00:38:36,600
Habitual smoker?
We all know we all know, we've
489
00:38:36,600 --> 00:38:38,200
been told a million times.
It's on the box.
490
00:38:38,200 --> 00:38:41,300
I mean these are ads campaigns
against this right, the whole
491
00:38:41,300 --> 00:38:43,000
world used to smoke.
You watch old Disney, movies,
492
00:38:43,000 --> 00:38:45,000
everybody smoking?
Pinocchio, come on somebody,
493
00:38:45,100 --> 00:38:46,700
right?
I mean, just what I once
494
00:38:46,700 --> 00:38:49,300
ashtrays and the planes, you
know, I mean, just like all the
495
00:38:49,300 --> 00:38:51,100
things, right?
But the whole world knows, you
496
00:38:51,100 --> 00:38:55,200
know, it's unhealthy to smoke,
it can cause death we.
497
00:38:55,300 --> 00:38:58,300
Know that people believe that
their stand that, but most
498
00:38:58,300 --> 00:39:01,100
people continue in that habit.
If there'd been that habit,
499
00:39:01,100 --> 00:39:02,600
right?
Like, they know better, you have
500
00:39:02,600 --> 00:39:04,300
family members of people, maybe
it's yourself.
501
00:39:04,300 --> 00:39:07,400
Like, I've been trying to quit
like, you know it but the faith
502
00:39:07,400 --> 00:39:10,600
is the action part of it, right?
I mean, think about the demons,
503
00:39:10,600 --> 00:39:13,400
they believe.
I mean, they tremble, they
504
00:39:13,400 --> 00:39:16,300
understand I'm the I'm wrong,
but they don't have any faith.
505
00:39:16,900 --> 00:39:20,900
They'll follow God, they didn't
change their allegiance, it
506
00:39:20,900 --> 00:39:23,400
didn't move them to other side
of the equation.
507
00:39:23,700 --> 00:39:26,500
And so belief and Faith are A
little different like you can
508
00:39:26,500 --> 00:39:27,700
believe something, but do you
have the faith?
509
00:39:27,700 --> 00:39:30,200
Did you have a bead Ian's?
Are you willing to put your
510
00:39:30,200 --> 00:39:32,300
money where your mouth is?
Come on somebody.
511
00:39:32,800 --> 00:39:35,500
You want to walk the walk, not
just say the talk, right?
512
00:39:35,700 --> 00:39:37,200
And so you want to please God
below.
513
00:39:37,200 --> 00:39:39,200
If you limit, you gotta live by
faith, you get a journalist
514
00:39:39,200 --> 00:39:41,000
earnestly seek God.
That means when you read the
515
00:39:41,008 --> 00:39:43,000
word of God, like, dude, this is
so true.
516
00:39:43,100 --> 00:39:44,900
It doesn't matter.
Whatever else is thinking, this
517
00:39:44,900 --> 00:39:46,200
is the way God has called me to
go.
518
00:39:46,300 --> 00:39:48,900
It means that we are so
passionate about God because the
519
00:39:48,900 --> 00:39:51,600
spirit God your life and say,
hey God told me you some of us
520
00:39:51,607 --> 00:39:53,700
got say no to people.
So I love you.
521
00:39:54,100 --> 00:39:56,500
I do love you.
You'll feel that way, right?
522
00:39:56,500 --> 00:39:59,700
I love you, but I'm going to
follow God's voice on this one.
523
00:40:00,300 --> 00:40:01,800
That's how we rise up.
Amen.
524
00:40:02,400 --> 00:40:05,000
You gotta go against the culture
if everybody agrees with you.
525
00:40:05,000 --> 00:40:07,100
That looks like the world did.
You probably should be doing
526
00:40:07,100 --> 00:40:09,900
something a little different and
you go to God, you take a blank
527
00:40:09,900 --> 00:40:12,500
piece of paper and you sign name
at the bottom say Okay, God,
528
00:40:12,500 --> 00:40:15,000
whatever you put on it.
I'm going to go over boundary
529
00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:18,100
after cross over charred
territory, God's not call you to
530
00:40:18,100 --> 00:40:20,300
play it.
Safe, kind of tell you that.
531
00:40:20,300 --> 00:40:23,100
God not call you to be in the
comfort zone of life.
532
00:40:23,300 --> 00:40:25,100
He didn't call it a float.
I was said dead.
533
00:40:25,200 --> 00:40:26,900
Fish flows Downstream.
Come on, somebody.
534
00:40:27,100 --> 00:40:29,700
You don't have to do anything to
flow along with the world that
535
00:40:29,700 --> 00:40:32,400
God has called us to be
countercultural by faith.
536
00:40:32,400 --> 00:40:34,200
Amen.
Some of y'all, look at your
537
00:40:34,200 --> 00:40:36,700
family's like dude, I got to be
that guy for my family.
538
00:40:36,900 --> 00:40:39,100
Like I'd be the generational
change, it was for me and my
539
00:40:39,100 --> 00:40:41,500
house, I love you all.
Mama serve the Lord, amen.
540
00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:43,900
So I'm going to go right?
I know you left.
541
00:40:43,900 --> 00:40:46,000
I'm going right.
All right, I'm gonna, I'm gonna
542
00:40:46,000 --> 00:40:48,000
follow God with this.
I'm going to take that that
543
00:40:48,000 --> 00:40:49,700
step.
So we don't be friends, but the
544
00:40:49,700 --> 00:40:52,500
reality is only follow Jesus.
Verse 7, says, it's by faith.
545
00:40:52,500 --> 00:40:56,700
Noah we warned about things.
Not yet seen it never rained
546
00:40:56,700 --> 00:40:58,300
before.
Noah built a boat.
547
00:40:58,400 --> 00:41:00,700
Come on somebody.
That's awkward a, right?
548
00:41:00,700 --> 00:41:02,900
The whole years you're building
up about like, what is going on,
549
00:41:02,900 --> 00:41:04,700
it's going to rain.
So what in the would talk about
550
00:41:04,700 --> 00:41:08,900
it says in what helped me out
and what in Holy fear?
551
00:41:09,300 --> 00:41:11,700
Yeah, that's that's what that's
how you go to God, right.
552
00:41:12,200 --> 00:41:15,700
Fear God not man, right?
And holy reverence like okay the
553
00:41:15,700 --> 00:41:19,400
word of God says God speaking to
me, I'm going to take it with
554
00:41:19,400 --> 00:41:21,300
him.
I'll put all in on Jesus.
555
00:41:21,300 --> 00:41:24,400
I'm like, I'm like Nitro Circus
done thinking, right?
556
00:41:24,700 --> 00:41:27,300
You, you're going for you taking
the jump, you're taking a leap,
557
00:41:27,300 --> 00:41:29,400
that's what faith is.
It's trusting, if I sit on the
558
00:41:29,400 --> 00:41:32,600
stool, I trust the fact that's
going to hold me and when Jesus
559
00:41:32,600 --> 00:41:34,600
says, just we need to do, I'm
just gonna trust the fact that's
560
00:41:34,600 --> 00:41:35,800
going to happen.
Who knows?
561
00:41:35,800 --> 00:41:37,100
God's promise is always come
true.
562
00:41:37,700 --> 00:41:40,000
Amen.
It's never, he's faithful and
563
00:41:40,000 --> 00:41:41,000
true.
If he says it it's going to
564
00:41:41,008 --> 00:41:43,400
happen is we got speaks a word
into your life.
565
00:41:43,400 --> 00:41:45,800
I've got nudges, you had
rection, don't be afraid of
566
00:41:45,808 --> 00:41:49,900
failing, be afraid to stay in
the same, you know, because
567
00:41:49,900 --> 00:41:51,800
God's in it and he's in a he
want he wants to see you
568
00:41:51,800 --> 00:41:53,900
through.
He says by faith and holy fear,
569
00:41:53,900 --> 00:41:56,500
he built an ark to save his
family and by faith, he
570
00:41:56,500 --> 00:41:59,000
condemned the world and became
heir of righteousness.
571
00:41:59,400 --> 00:42:01,100
You see a comparison between
faith and righteousness.
572
00:42:01,100 --> 00:42:05,200
Here all the time, doesn't
keeping with the Faith by faith
573
00:42:05,200 --> 00:42:07,000
Abraham.
And this is a boy to study right
574
00:42:07,000 --> 00:42:09,400
here.
By faith Abraham, when called to
575
00:42:09,400 --> 00:42:11,300
go to a place.
He would later receive as
576
00:42:11,300 --> 00:42:15,700
inheritance obeyed and went even
though help me out, he did not
577
00:42:15,700 --> 00:42:19,700
know where he was going.
I love this.
578
00:42:19,700 --> 00:42:21,600
This is maybe the greatest
picture of faith.
579
00:42:21,600 --> 00:42:23,800
I mean, you have this.
Basically God goes to Abraham
580
00:42:23,800 --> 00:42:25,900
and says, hey, I'm gonna make a
great nation of you and he says,
581
00:42:25,900 --> 00:42:28,100
you're gonna leave the Earth of
the Chaldeans and you're gonna
582
00:42:28,100 --> 00:42:30,800
go to a place that I will
eventually show you.
583
00:42:30,900 --> 00:42:34,300
This man is extremely wealthy
has extreme livestock.
584
00:42:34,300 --> 00:42:36,400
All these things packs, his
family up intense.
585
00:42:36,500 --> 00:42:39,400
He starts going Going not even
knowing the destination.
586
00:42:39,500 --> 00:42:42,900
None of you got in the car ever
in your life maybe once right.
587
00:42:43,100 --> 00:42:45,600
And didn't know where you're
going to go you know you knew
588
00:42:45,600 --> 00:42:47,000
for sure.
You're going to Big Daddy Donuts
589
00:42:47,000 --> 00:42:48,700
to.
Come on somebody, you knew for
590
00:42:48,700 --> 00:42:50,400
sure you're going to go to the
scooters.
591
00:42:50,600 --> 00:42:51,900
But for him is like, I don't
know.
592
00:42:51,900 --> 00:42:55,400
God, let's just start on this
path together and by faith.
593
00:42:55,400 --> 00:42:57,900
He packed his stuff up and went
and obeyed.
594
00:42:58,000 --> 00:42:59,600
God.
He moved outside, the
595
00:42:59,600 --> 00:43:01,300
comfortable.
I mean, in other words, he went
596
00:43:01,300 --> 00:43:03,500
past the reef.
Come on somebody, right?
597
00:43:03,600 --> 00:43:05,300
He moved Beyond Moana movement,
right?
598
00:43:05,300 --> 00:43:07,300
Like I'm the pursue out the
distance.
599
00:43:07,500 --> 00:43:09,500
And go, where God has called me
to go?
600
00:43:09,700 --> 00:43:12,600
Can I tell you today?
There's no military issue.
601
00:43:12,700 --> 00:43:16,400
Lazy Boy recliner 's.
Come on somebody, you'll join
602
00:43:16,400 --> 00:43:18,600
the kingdom of God and get
comfortable.
603
00:43:18,800 --> 00:43:21,600
You don't get the front line in
a trench and expect it to be
604
00:43:21,600 --> 00:43:23,700
easy.
When you take the ground that
605
00:43:23,700 --> 00:43:26,100
you need to take in your life,
the ground that God's called you
606
00:43:26,100 --> 00:43:28,800
to take.
It is a difficult Journey, like
607
00:43:28,800 --> 00:43:33,500
self crucifixion, self-emptying
self-denial, losing yourself,
608
00:43:33,500 --> 00:43:35,800
emptying yourself to go back to
Jeremy Camp.
609
00:43:35,800 --> 00:43:40,000
Look at album called, T, his
wife died of cancer and he wrote
610
00:43:40,000 --> 00:43:43,500
this whole album of just
Brokenness of crying out to God.
611
00:43:43,600 --> 00:43:45,700
We got to the point of life,
which is no longer about our
612
00:43:45,700 --> 00:43:49,700
ability or inability, but as
about his ability, amen.
613
00:43:50,100 --> 00:43:52,600
And so we just follow God by
faith.
614
00:43:52,700 --> 00:43:55,100
There's nothing to do about you.
And then you're going to find,
615
00:43:55,100 --> 00:43:57,700
there's enough of God in you, to
be the person that God has
616
00:43:57,700 --> 00:44:00,400
called you to be.
It's not your ability.
617
00:44:00,800 --> 00:44:03,700
And so it says this verse 9 by
faith, this is Abraham.
618
00:44:03,800 --> 00:44:07,600
He made his home in the promised
land like a stranger and One
619
00:44:07,600 --> 00:44:11,500
country, he lived in tents as an
Isaac and Jacob who were heirs
620
00:44:11,500 --> 00:44:14,300
with him from the same of the
same promise.
621
00:44:14,400 --> 00:44:15,700
I love this.
That boy didn't even build
622
00:44:15,700 --> 00:44:16,900
houses.
Come on somebody.
623
00:44:17,100 --> 00:44:18,600
I mean this world was so temper
for him.
624
00:44:18,700 --> 00:44:21,100
He has put a tent up.
It was like well I'm just gonna
625
00:44:21,100 --> 00:44:22,900
pass through.
I'm not going to call this home.
626
00:44:22,900 --> 00:44:25,700
I'm not going to get too
grounded or too concerned about
627
00:44:25,700 --> 00:44:28,000
the things this world because
I'm just passing through this
628
00:44:28,000 --> 00:44:30,700
foreign territory goes on the
say.
629
00:44:30,700 --> 00:44:33,500
This says for he was looking
forward.
630
00:44:33,600 --> 00:44:37,600
I love this to the city with
fountains whose architect Act
631
00:44:37,600 --> 00:44:41,400
and Builder is God.
He knew he wasn't home until he
632
00:44:41,400 --> 00:44:44,800
saw those beautiful fountains
and glory and the city that was
633
00:44:44,800 --> 00:44:47,700
built by Jesus.
Whose architect was God.
634
00:44:47,700 --> 00:44:50,200
He said, this is my home.
Amen.
635
00:44:50,600 --> 00:44:53,100
And maybe the problem was so
much of our culture and maybe
636
00:44:53,200 --> 00:44:56,500
cultural Christianity is that we
forgotten that this world is not
637
00:44:56,500 --> 00:44:59,600
our home.
We are consumed about making
638
00:44:59,600 --> 00:45:02,500
this world so comfortable, they
were forgotten the fact that
639
00:45:02,500 --> 00:45:04,700
it's not called to be
comfortable that we will later
640
00:45:04,700 --> 00:45:08,500
head down one day in glory with
amazing fountains and fruit from
641
00:45:08,500 --> 00:45:10,400
the tree.
Come on somebody with those of
642
00:45:10,408 --> 00:45:12,700
the love Jesus and family and
friends.
643
00:45:12,700 --> 00:45:15,100
And then we take a rest.
But on this side of Eternity, we
644
00:45:15,107 --> 00:45:18,500
were called to live as
foreigners in a Strange Land by
645
00:45:18,500 --> 00:45:20,600
faith and by faith.
Even Sarah.
646
00:45:20,600 --> 00:45:24,300
This is his wife who was past
childbearing age, was in able to
647
00:45:24,300 --> 00:45:27,000
Bear children because she
considered him a love this time
648
00:45:27,000 --> 00:45:29,800
of God.
Faithful, who had made the
649
00:45:29,800 --> 00:45:32,400
promise, if you look at Jesus
and he's calling to do
650
00:45:32,400 --> 00:45:34,200
something, he will, he will make
a way.
651
00:45:34,200 --> 00:45:36,000
Amen.
Even we don't feel like you have
652
00:45:36,000 --> 00:45:37,700
a way.
It doesn't make sense.
653
00:45:37,700 --> 00:45:39,500
You don't have enough money.
You're not prepared.
654
00:45:39,500 --> 00:45:42,700
You don't have a plan.
It's not, you don't feel like
655
00:45:42,700 --> 00:45:47,300
you have the resourcing, you
don't have enough in you, God
656
00:45:47,300 --> 00:45:50,500
Will Make A Way every single
time, because it's God, Amen.
657
00:45:51,000 --> 00:45:54,300
That's just what he does.
And so from this one, man,
658
00:45:54,300 --> 00:45:57,800
Abraham and he is good as dead
in his old age.
659
00:45:58,100 --> 00:46:00,400
Kim descendants.
As numerous as the Stars the sky
660
00:46:00,500 --> 00:46:03,300
as countless as a sand of the
seashore.
661
00:46:03,500 --> 00:46:05,700
Now I know about this but
Abraham died, had a nation, a
662
00:46:05,700 --> 00:46:08,300
great nation, a huge nation of
eight.
663
00:46:08,300 --> 00:46:11,800
People come all somebody that
was his nation and he lived he
664
00:46:11,800 --> 00:46:14,200
lived for a promise.
He looks forward to the
665
00:46:14,200 --> 00:46:16,300
promised.
My fact, it says this and this
666
00:46:16,300 --> 00:46:17,600
is Tommy.
All the people we talked about.
667
00:46:17,600 --> 00:46:20,900
It says, all these people we've
mentioned, we're still living by
668
00:46:20,900 --> 00:46:23,300
faith.
When they died did not receive
669
00:46:23,300 --> 00:46:25,900
the things those promised they
were looking forward to a
670
00:46:25,908 --> 00:46:29,200
promise, looking out to a
promise and Only saw them and
671
00:46:29,200 --> 00:46:32,000
welcomed them from a distance
and this one who told themselves
672
00:46:32,000 --> 00:46:35,900
admitting that they were
foreigners and strangers on
673
00:46:35,900 --> 00:46:37,900
Earth.
And this is, this is where the
674
00:46:37,900 --> 00:46:40,000
call the Christian we shouldn't
fit in.
675
00:46:40,100 --> 00:46:43,400
If your goal is to fit in, you
will not live by faith and not
676
00:46:43,400 --> 00:46:45,700
the things of God in your life.
You're going to fit in with your
677
00:46:45,700 --> 00:46:47,200
friends.
You have the wrong goal.
678
00:46:47,200 --> 00:46:49,400
Amen.
I mean, you're called to be the
679
00:46:49,400 --> 00:46:51,300
outcast.
You're called to be the weirdo.
680
00:46:51,300 --> 00:46:52,700
The Jesus freak.
You called me.
681
00:46:52,700 --> 00:46:54,500
The guy that just like, what's
up with that guy?
682
00:46:54,600 --> 00:46:56,400
And it honestly is so
attraction.
683
00:46:56,400 --> 00:46:59,000
We're going to talk about what
faith Looks like and this side
684
00:46:59,000 --> 00:47:01,500
of Eternity.
But and then the fact this isn't
685
00:47:01,500 --> 00:47:04,600
my home, people say such things,
they show that they're looking
686
00:47:04,600 --> 00:47:07,100
for a country of their own.
If they had been looking
687
00:47:07,100 --> 00:47:09,600
thinking of a country, they had
left that have found the
688
00:47:09,600 --> 00:47:13,100
opportunity to return.
It is so easy to tell somebody
689
00:47:13,100 --> 00:47:14,900
who's going to go the distance
and somebody's not because
690
00:47:14,900 --> 00:47:16,300
they're always looking over
their shoulder back and what
691
00:47:16,300 --> 00:47:18,800
they used to have the New
Testament says this, whoever
692
00:47:18,800 --> 00:47:21,400
puts her hands to the plow and
looks back is not fit for the
693
00:47:21,400 --> 00:47:24,900
kingdom of God.
I mean your hands can be here,
694
00:47:24,900 --> 00:47:26,800
but if your hearts back they're
going to find a way to go back,
695
00:47:26,800 --> 00:47:28,900
aren't you?
We gotta move our heart from
696
00:47:28,900 --> 00:47:32,000
here on Earth and move our heart
into heaven.
697
00:47:32,000 --> 00:47:35,100
Amen.
But this is our desire Heaven
698
00:47:35,100 --> 00:47:37,100
should be so close.
I mean, I love that song
699
00:47:37,100 --> 00:47:40,900
homesick, right?
Like I want to go home but God
700
00:47:40,900 --> 00:47:43,200
has me here but that's the heart
of a Christian.
701
00:47:43,200 --> 00:47:46,500
So I'm just going to gather as
much for the kingdom of God and
702
00:47:46,500 --> 00:47:48,600
live by faith the kingdom God
and see what God will do for my
703
00:47:48,600 --> 00:47:51,300
life before I make it home.
But this is not my home.
704
00:47:51,300 --> 00:47:54,200
I don't put down the deeper,
it's Amen, I'm a foreigner, I'm
705
00:47:54,200 --> 00:47:57,300
a soldier and I just I'm just
walking through step-by-step
706
00:47:57,300 --> 00:47:59,500
just going on, Okay, well that
looks like the world but this
707
00:47:59,500 --> 00:48:02,500
isn't my home.
People say such things.
708
00:48:02,600 --> 00:48:05,500
The looking for the country of
their own, I don't belong here.
709
00:48:05,700 --> 00:48:08,500
I'm not going to get too
comfortable instead their
710
00:48:08,500 --> 00:48:10,800
longing for a better country.
There's something more out
711
00:48:10,800 --> 00:48:13,800
there, a Heavenly country.
Therefore, God is not ashamed to
712
00:48:13,808 --> 00:48:17,000
be called their God for.
He has prepared a city for them
713
00:48:17,100 --> 00:48:18,800
in heaven.
I want to forget about this city
714
00:48:18,800 --> 00:48:19,700
of fountains.
Amen.
715
00:48:20,400 --> 00:48:23,800
The city that architect of God
has built for us.
716
00:48:23,800 --> 00:48:25,600
This is where our heart is at,
amen.
717
00:48:26,400 --> 00:48:27,600
I mean you put your hope in
here.
718
00:48:27,700 --> 00:48:29,100
You're going to be sorely
disappointed.
719
00:48:29,400 --> 00:48:32,300
Maybe the end game is heaven and
this is our home.
720
00:48:32,300 --> 00:48:34,200
This is where we're moving to as
Christians.
721
00:48:34,400 --> 00:48:36,100
Have you been around a person of
great faith?
722
00:48:36,800 --> 00:48:40,300
If you've been around a person
that just was like, wow, the
723
00:48:40,300 --> 00:48:43,700
spirit of God is on that person
and I don't know if you had that
724
00:48:43,700 --> 00:48:47,000
in your life, maybe you've seen
it on TV or like a video or
725
00:48:47,000 --> 00:48:49,300
maybe the Bible study by
somebody or read a book by
726
00:48:49,300 --> 00:48:52,100
somebody, but you kind of get
some picture of what a person of
727
00:48:52,107 --> 00:48:55,000
great faith.
Looks like your sense that
728
00:48:55,000 --> 00:48:59,200
before that Spirit of God like
it's anointing is on is on them.
729
00:48:59,600 --> 00:49:01,700
The kind of people that like
it's always the movement.
730
00:49:01,700 --> 00:49:04,800
God is kind of Falls over they
go but the God is speaking
731
00:49:04,800 --> 00:49:07,600
through them like a vessel like
the tip of the spear like an
732
00:49:07,600 --> 00:49:10,200
arrow shot into the culture.
Have you been around these kind
733
00:49:10,200 --> 00:49:12,700
of people like you know you
think of people like that,
734
00:49:12,700 --> 00:49:14,000
right?
And I'm not going to make a
735
00:49:14,008 --> 00:49:15,500
living because they still have
room to fall.
736
00:49:15,500 --> 00:49:16,700
That's what those are and say,
right.
737
00:49:17,100 --> 00:49:18,700
But you think like Billy Graham,
right?
738
00:49:19,100 --> 00:49:24,200
Like this is just just moved a
nation like the platform of like
739
00:49:24,200 --> 00:49:27,900
a world scale to be used.
By God, I think about men and
740
00:49:27,900 --> 00:49:31,000
people in our church like a
local scale, or like a family
741
00:49:31,000 --> 00:49:32,700
scale, you think about person
your family's like me, and that
742
00:49:32,700 --> 00:49:36,700
person they just bring up the
level of spirituality, like this
743
00:49:36,700 --> 00:49:39,400
brings Jesus to our family.
If it wasn't for that person,
744
00:49:39,600 --> 00:49:41,700
man, here's what, here's, I'll
use this.
745
00:49:41,700 --> 00:49:43,800
Grab those kind of people.
I'm a word, you use to describe
746
00:49:43,800 --> 00:49:45,900
them and maybe you find this
true for you.
747
00:49:46,200 --> 00:49:49,200
I've been around these people
seeing him and like being the
748
00:49:49,200 --> 00:49:54,100
word, I think of is transcended.
These kind of people transcend
749
00:49:54,100 --> 00:49:57,500
their culture.
You know, they don't fit There's
750
00:49:57,500 --> 00:50:00,000
like what man.
Like, how do you do that?
751
00:50:00,000 --> 00:50:03,200
Like I can't, I don't know
Faith, but look how much
752
00:50:03,200 --> 00:50:05,100
sacrifice.
Like, how did you come up with
753
00:50:05,100 --> 00:50:06,700
that?
Like how in the world?
754
00:50:06,700 --> 00:50:09,800
You have the courage in the to
step out?
755
00:50:10,200 --> 00:50:12,000
You look at those people, like
they transcend, think about
756
00:50:12,000 --> 00:50:13,800
transcend, it means breaking the
limit.
757
00:50:14,100 --> 00:50:18,900
It means Rising above and going
beyond the range of the limits
758
00:50:18,900 --> 00:50:21,500
to transcends.
I mean, you think about people
759
00:50:21,500 --> 00:50:23,700
in your life, if you've been
around and seen those people.
760
00:50:23,800 --> 00:50:25,900
It's like band.
That's a foreign person in our
761
00:50:25,900 --> 00:50:26,500
family.
Emily.
762
00:50:26,900 --> 00:50:28,300
Maybe you should be the fourth
person or family.
763
00:50:28,300 --> 00:50:31,000
Men would be good thing to be
the fourth person.
764
00:50:31,000 --> 00:50:32,500
Your family.
Well, the foreign person our
765
00:50:32,500 --> 00:50:35,300
church that transcending the
church, the kind of people like
766
00:50:35,300 --> 00:50:37,200
Jesus, that made Jesus show.
But Sinners.
767
00:50:37,200 --> 00:50:40,000
What is thinners, do they do it?
Most churches doing they run,
768
00:50:40,100 --> 00:50:41,700
they ran to Jesus.
Amen.
769
00:50:42,100 --> 00:50:44,500
He was a friend of sinners that
boys, a life of the party, no
770
00:50:44,500 --> 00:50:46,600
matter where he went.
People went to him, he was
771
00:50:46,600 --> 00:50:48,700
trying to pray.
He had a cut through the crowds
772
00:50:48,700 --> 00:50:51,200
and goal behind some rocks in
the mound just to be quiet.
773
00:50:51,200 --> 00:50:53,200
So you can pray to God.
Hit Ali crowd was always
774
00:50:53,200 --> 00:50:56,800
pursuing him because he was so
attraction, 'l to Well, amen.
775
00:50:57,800 --> 00:51:00,100
Amen.
I mean, we think about our
776
00:51:00,100 --> 00:51:02,700
lives.
It's like a Maya transcended
777
00:51:02,700 --> 00:51:05,400
person.
Can I be the kind of person that
778
00:51:05,400 --> 00:51:08,800
God's hand is all over.
Shall be like person of faith
779
00:51:08,800 --> 00:51:10,800
that God's like, I'm picking
that boy.
780
00:51:11,000 --> 00:51:12,600
Like, that person loves me and
secret.
781
00:51:12,600 --> 00:51:16,000
He's worked, tails off behind
the scenes, he's full of Faith.
782
00:51:16,300 --> 00:51:19,200
He's the kind of person that
trust me with a little.
783
00:51:19,300 --> 00:51:21,300
And now I can give that person
more.
784
00:51:21,500 --> 00:51:24,700
They transcend people who
changed Nations and changed
785
00:51:24,700 --> 00:51:27,400
countries and just on there.
The prey of their news about
786
00:51:27,400 --> 00:51:29,800
David and Daniel.
These ancients we've all these
787
00:51:29,800 --> 00:51:33,800
stories that transcended the
Enoch transcended to translate
788
00:51:33,800 --> 00:51:36,500
up to heaven.
I mean, the Earth didn't deserve
789
00:51:36,500 --> 00:51:39,600
that kind of faith and that kind
of Heaven here on Earth.
790
00:51:39,800 --> 00:51:41,600
I just think God should help us
to be transgender.
791
00:51:41,600 --> 00:51:42,900
People are generation.
Amen.
792
00:51:44,000 --> 00:51:46,500
Amen.
I'm usually that kind of people
793
00:51:46,500 --> 00:51:49,800
for our children and be
transcended for our nation.
794
00:51:50,000 --> 00:51:53,400
I mean transcended, their our
workplace people should know.
795
00:51:53,400 --> 00:51:54,900
There's something different
about that boy.
796
00:51:54,900 --> 00:51:57,600
I can't put my finger on because
you can't put your finger on the
797
00:51:57,600 --> 00:51:59,600
band of God.
But you do realize they're not
798
00:51:59,600 --> 00:52:02,600
from here but there's something
so much greater about that, man,
799
00:52:02,700 --> 00:52:06,300
or woman of Jesus and everybody
should see where you go.
800
00:52:06,300 --> 00:52:08,100
Should say, man, that person
loves Jesus.
801
00:52:08,200 --> 00:52:09,900
And when you get closer to you,
this is how, you know,
802
00:52:09,900 --> 00:52:12,600
somebody's transcended.
When you get closer to them, you
803
00:52:12,600 --> 00:52:15,700
discover the heart of God.
The kind of people when you sit
804
00:52:15,700 --> 00:52:18,500
down with and you're like, wow,
I feel like I just met a little
805
00:52:18,500 --> 00:52:19,700
closer to Jesus.
Today.
806
00:52:20,100 --> 00:52:22,100
They're the kind of people you
don't get closer to and go, guys
807
00:52:22,100 --> 00:52:23,900
are phony.
Does it kind of people get
808
00:52:23,900 --> 00:52:26,700
closer to me like, wow, how did
you get where you're at today?
809
00:52:26,700 --> 00:52:29,000
How did, how did God move in
your heart to get that level?
810
00:52:29,100 --> 00:52:31,100
And they're going to say the
same thing to say today by
811
00:52:31,100 --> 00:52:31,800
faith.
Amen!
812
00:52:32,500 --> 00:52:34,700
By Faith, by faith.
It's not them.
813
00:52:34,800 --> 00:52:40,400
It's God, Hebrews 11:17 by faith
Abraham when God tested him
814
00:52:40,400 --> 00:52:43,700
offered Isaac.
This is his son as a sacrifice.
815
00:52:44,800 --> 00:52:49,100
Who he who had one who had
embraced the promises.
816
00:52:49,800 --> 00:52:53,300
This is Abraham embrace the
promise of the of God in his
817
00:52:53,400 --> 00:52:54,700
life.
He had deep conviction.
818
00:52:54,700 --> 00:52:57,300
He was full sinned.
As Diane says, all times a team
819
00:52:57,300 --> 00:52:58,700
full sin.
There was nothing happened,
820
00:52:58,700 --> 00:53:03,500
Alden for Jesus, was able was
about to sacrifice his one and
821
00:53:03,500 --> 00:53:08,400
only son, even though God had
said to him it is through Isaac
822
00:53:08,400 --> 00:53:11,300
that your Offspring will be
reckoned.
823
00:53:11,400 --> 00:53:13,200
I mean think about this, you
know the story.
824
00:53:13,200 --> 00:53:14,500
If you don't know it you got to
look it up.
825
00:53:14,700 --> 00:53:18,600
You have Abraham who's really
raising the knife to sacrifice
826
00:53:18,600 --> 00:53:21,900
his own son on the altar in
place of another sacrifice
827
00:53:21,900 --> 00:53:24,600
because God said, hey, take your
son up to sacrifice him because
828
00:53:24,600 --> 00:53:27,300
Isaac it almost become like an
idol to Abraham.
829
00:53:27,300 --> 00:53:30,600
He was testing Abraham to see
his faith and so he gets up
830
00:53:30,600 --> 00:53:34,100
there and he raises the knife up
willing to kill his son, who God
831
00:53:34,100 --> 00:53:36,700
told him the air of your
generations and your legacy your
832
00:53:36,700 --> 00:53:39,900
nation is going to be killed.
It made no sense.
833
00:53:39,900 --> 00:53:41,600
It doesn't make any rational
sense.
834
00:53:41,900 --> 00:53:45,600
Does it make any sense?
But Abraham, he Stood God, he
835
00:53:45,600 --> 00:53:47,900
had faith in God.
That God would somehow make
836
00:53:47,900 --> 00:53:51,000
away.
Love what happens here, Abraham
837
00:53:51,000 --> 00:53:53,200
reasons.
And this is the type of reason
838
00:53:53,300 --> 00:53:57,000
that doesn't exist in 2023 and
our education doesn't exist, our
839
00:53:57,000 --> 00:53:59,300
nation and doesn't exist
anywhere.
840
00:53:59,500 --> 00:54:02,400
Besides the people of God who
know that the word of God and
841
00:54:02,400 --> 00:54:05,600
people are faithful to God,
Abraham reasoned with faith.
842
00:54:05,800 --> 00:54:08,500
He said that if God could even
raise the dead and even at mayor
843
00:54:08,500 --> 00:54:12,800
speaking, he even did receive
Isaac back from Death, Abraham
844
00:54:12,800 --> 00:54:14,500
believed so much that he just
stabbed eyes.
845
00:54:14,600 --> 00:54:17,000
Can I shake down the altar?
That the only way this never
846
00:54:17,000 --> 00:54:20,200
work out is that God has raised
him from the dead, his so much
847
00:54:20,200 --> 00:54:21,800
faith.
That if I killed my own son,
848
00:54:22,100 --> 00:54:23,400
that got to bring it back to
life.
849
00:54:23,700 --> 00:54:26,800
It's always going to work out
and I think in this generation
850
00:54:26,900 --> 00:54:28,400
we've got to add Faith back in
the equation.
851
00:54:28,400 --> 00:54:32,000
Amen, we gotta add Faith back
into our reason.
852
00:54:32,100 --> 00:54:34,100
It's not unreasonable.
It is actually the only thing
853
00:54:34,100 --> 00:54:36,100
that is reasonable.
It takes more faith to be an
854
00:54:36,100 --> 00:54:37,800
atheist.
It takes more faith to be a
855
00:54:37,800 --> 00:54:40,300
secular humanist.
It takes more faith to wander
856
00:54:40,300 --> 00:54:42,500
apart from God.
It takes more faith to do all
857
00:54:42,508 --> 00:54:45,000
those things.
Then the trust God, and To serve
858
00:54:45,000 --> 00:54:45,800
God.
Amen.
859
00:54:47,000 --> 00:54:51,900
Something like step on my toes.
Look, the promises of God are so
860
00:54:51,900 --> 00:54:54,900
true.
If he died racism a life, John
861
00:54:54,900 --> 00:54:57,300
3:16 for God.
So loved the world that he gave
862
00:54:57,300 --> 00:55:02,600
his only son one and only son
KJV gave His only begotten son,
863
00:55:02,800 --> 00:55:04,800
that reference actually refers
back to.
864
00:55:04,800 --> 00:55:07,800
This is the only time you see in
the Bible, the one only son be
865
00:55:07,800 --> 00:55:10,400
sacrificed if God can raise him
from the dead.
866
00:55:10,500 --> 00:55:13,400
So just promise is always true.
It's gospel.
867
00:55:13,500 --> 00:55:15,500
Truth by faith.
Isaac blessed.
868
00:55:15,500 --> 00:55:17,100
Jacob.
And Esau in regards to the
869
00:55:17,100 --> 00:55:20,200
Future by faith, Jacob, when he
was dying.
870
00:55:20,300 --> 00:55:23,400
Each of Joseph's sons and
worshiped as he leaned on top of
871
00:55:23,400 --> 00:55:27,100
his staff by faith Joseph when
his when his end was near spoke
872
00:55:27,100 --> 00:55:29,400
about the Exodus of the
Israelites from Egypt and gave
873
00:55:29,400 --> 00:55:33,000
instructions concerning the
barrel of his bones by faith.
874
00:55:33,000 --> 00:55:36,500
Moses has parents mom and dad,
you don't see that in the
875
00:55:36,500 --> 00:55:39,200
picture on the wall of the Ark,
you know, the the drawings.
876
00:55:39,200 --> 00:55:42,300
But Mom and Dad hid him for
three months after his born,
877
00:55:42,400 --> 00:55:43,800
instead of having him killed
tossin.
878
00:55:43,800 --> 00:55:47,400
So now they hit him because they
saw, he was no ordinary child.
879
00:55:47,600 --> 00:55:48,900
And they were what hell?
No.
880
00:55:48,900 --> 00:55:51,900
They were not.
They're not afraid of the king's
881
00:55:51,900 --> 00:55:53,300
edict.
I'm gonna let you know.
882
00:55:53,300 --> 00:55:56,900
Today, we aren't the first
generation that to pick from the
883
00:55:56,900 --> 00:56:00,000
faith in God, or fear of a king
or culture.
884
00:56:00,600 --> 00:56:02,800
We're not the first generation
of parents that have to
885
00:56:02,800 --> 00:56:05,900
fearlessly, protect our kids
from the things of a king or a
886
00:56:05,908 --> 00:56:07,500
kingdom of a culture.
Amen.
887
00:56:08,100 --> 00:56:10,500
We're not the first generation
after to push up hill.
888
00:56:10,800 --> 00:56:13,200
Now, the first generation that's
misunderstood, it has to do
889
00:56:13,200 --> 00:56:16,200
things in secret and had to
fight the good fight of faith
890
00:56:16,200 --> 00:56:18,000
and have to War for the things
of God.
891
00:56:18,000 --> 00:56:20,300
Whatever else is going left and
said, no, no, I'm going to do.
892
00:56:20,600 --> 00:56:24,100
Going to do it the gods way.
I'm going to fear God, not man.
893
00:56:24,400 --> 00:56:28,000
And look at this by faith, Moses
because his parents had faith in
894
00:56:28,000 --> 00:56:30,600
God.
Here's Moses, it's amazing Moses
895
00:56:30,600 --> 00:56:34,300
when he'd grown up because he
had a chance at life because
896
00:56:34,300 --> 00:56:37,500
they feared God, I love looking
his words.
897
00:56:37,500 --> 00:56:40,500
Refused to be known as the son
of Pharaoh's daughter.
898
00:56:40,500 --> 00:56:43,700
He refused it.
He said no, thanks not for me.
899
00:56:43,900 --> 00:56:47,000
He chose to be mistreated along
with the people of God, rather
900
00:56:47,000 --> 00:56:49,200
than enjoy the fleeting
pleasures of sin.
901
00:56:49,500 --> 00:56:53,200
He chose He refused to be
counted as a household of
902
00:56:53,200 --> 00:56:58,000
pharaoh and then he chose to be
identified as a Hebrew and to
903
00:56:58,000 --> 00:57:00,300
follow the God of all gods and
never forgot where he came from.
904
00:57:00,300 --> 00:57:03,100
Amen.
He just chose to take to walk
905
00:57:03,100 --> 00:57:05,900
away from all these things.
We have fortune and fame and
906
00:57:05,900 --> 00:57:07,900
money.
All these things, the fleeting
907
00:57:07,900 --> 00:57:10,300
pleasures of sin and says, verse
26.
908
00:57:10,300 --> 00:57:15,700
He regarded disgrace for the
sake of Christ as greater value
909
00:57:15,900 --> 00:57:20,000
than the treasures of Egypt,
because he was looking ahead to
910
00:57:20,000 --> 00:57:24,700
his Reward.
He, he'd rather not sell out to
911
00:57:24,700 --> 00:57:28,300
the Egyptian dream.
Here are not be comfortable, he
912
00:57:28,300 --> 00:57:30,500
really not.
Just go with the flow and fit in
913
00:57:30,500 --> 00:57:33,200
his little good health, a fun
life up in the palace and do
914
00:57:33,200 --> 00:57:34,700
what he wants to do.
No, no, he's real.
915
00:57:34,700 --> 00:57:38,000
He's identified with God, Amen.
This is, what baptism is?
916
00:57:38,500 --> 00:57:40,700
I mean, you're literally saying,
hey, I'm in for Jesus, I don't
917
00:57:40,700 --> 00:57:43,200
know what's gonna cost me, but I
don't care because I know what
918
00:57:43,200 --> 00:57:46,300
God is already giving me another
award that said heaven for me,
919
00:57:46,300 --> 00:57:48,500
I'm just going to follow God, I
won't be on his side.
920
00:57:48,500 --> 00:57:50,000
I don't know, if you'll play
dodgeball, what side of the
921
00:57:50,000 --> 00:57:50,500
fence?
You're on your own?
922
00:57:50,600 --> 00:57:52,100
I'm going to go with Jesus.
Amen.
923
00:57:52,300 --> 00:57:54,200
I know what kind of games you
like to play, but there's not a
924
00:57:54,207 --> 00:57:56,400
game with God.
So I'm going to go on God's side
925
00:57:56,500 --> 00:57:59,300
and God Honors that see Moses.
No, that's what his home.
926
00:57:59,400 --> 00:58:01,400
He didn't sell out by faith.
He left.
927
00:58:01,400 --> 00:58:05,000
Egypt.
Not fearing the Kings anger.
928
00:58:05,000 --> 00:58:08,300
Come on somebody.
I'm somewhat were so motivated
929
00:58:08,300 --> 00:58:11,500
about fear but the three at
regards is we got a fear, the
930
00:58:11,500 --> 00:58:14,600
one who's worthy to be feared,
not the person that can kill the
931
00:58:14,600 --> 00:58:18,700
body, but the the God of all
gods that can kill the body and
932
00:58:18,700 --> 00:58:23,900
the Soul, right?
We have a healthy reverence of
933
00:58:23,900 --> 00:58:26,000
God is the beginning of all
wisdom.
934
00:58:26,200 --> 00:58:27,800
And so we make a choice.
It's like which direction to go,
935
00:58:27,800 --> 00:58:29,200
which we got.
Hey, I'm going to follow the
936
00:58:29,200 --> 00:58:32,400
direction of God and he
persevered because you saw that
937
00:58:32,400 --> 00:58:35,100
he was invisible course.
He got a burning bush that helps
938
00:58:35,100 --> 00:58:36,700
a little bit.
Come on somebody, right.
939
00:58:37,900 --> 00:58:39,700
But it wouldn't matter.
People can see a burning bush,
940
00:58:39,700 --> 00:58:42,700
they can be Jesus, they still
crucified him by faith.
941
00:58:42,700 --> 00:58:44,800
He kept the Passover, an
application, the blood on the
942
00:58:44,808 --> 00:58:46,300
lintel.
So that the story of the
943
00:58:46,308 --> 00:58:48,300
firstborn would not touch the
firstborn of Israel.
944
00:58:48,700 --> 00:58:51,400
And by faith, the people pass
through the Red Sea as on dry
945
00:58:51,400 --> 00:58:53,900
land, but when the Egyptians
tried to do so they were
946
00:58:53,900 --> 00:58:56,000
drowned.
I want you to notice so far in
947
00:58:56,000 --> 00:58:59,200
this whole passes of Hebrews
chapter 11, what didn't happen,
948
00:58:59,900 --> 00:59:02,900
what did they do?
It wasn't by intelligence.
949
00:59:03,000 --> 00:59:06,000
Come on somebody.
It wasn't by higher secondary,
950
00:59:06,000 --> 00:59:08,700
or higher education or the Agree
or PhD.
951
00:59:08,800 --> 00:59:12,100
It wasn't because their ability
it was because of hard work.
952
00:59:12,200 --> 00:59:14,000
It wasn't because they were
qualified.
953
00:59:14,200 --> 00:59:17,900
It wasn't because they're
successful or famous or popular
954
00:59:18,100 --> 00:59:20,200
it wasn't because they're trying
to make people happy.
955
00:59:20,300 --> 00:59:22,300
Amen.
It wasn't because they're trying
956
00:59:22,300 --> 00:59:24,800
to boost up the culture and be
in the Limelight.
957
00:59:24,800 --> 00:59:26,700
It wasn't because they're trying
to keep their friends.
958
00:59:26,900 --> 00:59:29,300
It wasn't because they were
fully resource for the vision.
959
00:59:29,400 --> 00:59:31,800
Amen.
Somebody got a big Vision on how
960
00:59:31,800 --> 00:59:33,500
to get their God will figure it
out.
961
00:59:33,700 --> 00:59:36,100
You just be faithful, right?
It wasn't because their top of
962
00:59:36,100 --> 00:59:39,000
their class and it wasn't
because they're fully prepared.
963
00:59:39,000 --> 00:59:40,900
If you're waiting for prepared,
you've missed the entire
964
00:59:40,900 --> 00:59:44,800
opportunity, amen.
You're missing it, you got to go
965
00:59:44,800 --> 00:59:46,800
now.
Like there's a mission.
966
00:59:46,800 --> 00:59:50,100
It's Uncharted, you know, we put
people on the moon with
967
00:59:50,100 --> 00:59:52,500
intelligence, not even a
microwave today.
968
00:59:52,800 --> 00:59:58,200
Come on somebody, right?
We just find a way to push into
969
00:59:58,200 --> 01:00:01,200
the kingdom of God, by faith.
The battles are won and fought
970
01:00:01,200 --> 01:00:03,600
by God from our knees.
Junior, open the Bible.
971
01:00:03,600 --> 01:00:05,700
It's always interesting because,
you know, when people open the
972
01:00:05,700 --> 01:00:08,400
Bible because it seems to be
like a kind of Rarity for most
973
01:00:08,400 --> 01:00:10,600
people, but they opened the
Bible is like me and God showed
974
01:00:10,600 --> 01:00:12,400
me something.
And so his flipped it open and
975
01:00:12,400 --> 01:00:14,300
God Start speaking here.
Notice that in your life, you
976
01:00:14,308 --> 01:00:17,000
can flip to any part of the
Bible and God speaks to you even
977
01:00:17,000 --> 01:00:19,300
Leviticus.
Come on, somebody like something
978
01:00:19,300 --> 01:00:21,600
just Man.
Okay, God spoke to me, maybe a
979
01:00:21,600 --> 01:00:24,400
little struggle, right?
But God speaks to, you is so
980
01:00:24,400 --> 01:00:25,200
happens.
So many times.
981
01:00:25,200 --> 01:00:27,300
And, you know, if you crack the
Bible open, he's probably trying
982
01:00:27,300 --> 01:00:28,600
to solve, right?
It's just Brad, the middle of
983
01:00:28,600 --> 01:00:31,900
the spine, you know, Joe main
guys are speaking, right, but
984
01:00:31,900 --> 01:00:34,600
here's the reality, as
Christians see, most people
985
01:00:34,600 --> 01:00:37,800
like, pick a book, but as
Christians, the book picked us.
986
01:00:37,900 --> 01:00:40,600
Amen.
It's a Living Word.
987
01:00:40,700 --> 01:00:44,200
And as you all know the word you
want, Jesus is called the word
988
01:00:44,300 --> 01:00:47,000
just opened the Bible and
started the word speak into your
989
01:00:47,000 --> 01:00:48,800
life.
And so you get alone with God
990
01:00:48,800 --> 01:00:51,200
and say, okay, God, what you
want me to do and those secret
991
01:00:51,200 --> 01:00:54,200
dark moments when nobody's
around, that's your faith is
992
01:00:54,200 --> 01:00:56,500
built.
A men like on the right here.
993
01:00:56,500 --> 01:00:58,700
This is, this is just like a
spur on Moment.
994
01:00:59,000 --> 01:01:00,400
Like, This isn't a
faith-building moment.
995
01:01:00,400 --> 01:01:02,000
You got to get face to face with
Jesus.
996
01:01:02,000 --> 01:01:04,800
Amen.
Like that's your responsibility.
997
01:01:04,900 --> 01:01:08,900
That's your part to play and God
is willing to use you as a
998
01:01:08,908 --> 01:01:12,200
transcended person of great
faith in your family, in your
999
01:01:12,200 --> 01:01:14,300
culture.
If you are willing to fall
1000
01:01:14,300 --> 01:01:17,400
deeply in desperately, in love
with Jesus.
1001
01:01:19,500 --> 01:01:23,700
We live by faith, not by sight.
He was 11:30 says, this by
1002
01:01:23,700 --> 01:01:25,800
faith, the walls of Jericho fell
after armies.
1003
01:01:25,800 --> 01:01:28,400
Had marched around them for
seven days immigrant trumpet.
1004
01:01:28,900 --> 01:01:33,000
Come on somebody, right?
Just like Katie to the ground
1005
01:01:33,000 --> 01:01:35,800
right by faith.
Look at this, I love this The
1006
01:01:35,800 --> 01:01:39,800
Prostitute Rahab because she
welcomed the spies was not
1007
01:01:39,800 --> 01:01:42,500
killed.
And those who were in or with
1008
01:01:42,500 --> 01:01:45,500
those who are disobedient.
I love that women made and Hall
1009
01:01:45,500 --> 01:01:47,900
of Fame and Faith.
Amen, there is great.
1010
01:01:47,900 --> 01:01:49,200
Women of Faith.
I can't tell.
1011
01:01:49,400 --> 01:01:51,600
People, I talked to it's like my
grandma showed me Jesus.
1012
01:01:51,600 --> 01:01:54,200
My grandma brought me to church.
My grandma pulled me to Christ.
1013
01:01:54,200 --> 01:01:56,100
That is so many people's
stories.
1014
01:01:56,400 --> 01:01:58,400
And here you have recognized
like there's when the faith all
1015
01:01:58,400 --> 01:02:00,500
throughout history, all
throughout the Bible, but even
1016
01:02:00,700 --> 01:02:04,100
cooler than that, in the story
of a prostitute, you have an
1017
01:02:04,100 --> 01:02:07,900
ordinary or maybe less than
order is people consider a
1018
01:02:07,900 --> 01:02:16,900
broken empty, maybe leftover
just Every day people.
1019
01:02:16,900 --> 01:02:19,600
Come on, somebody.
Nothing special.
1020
01:02:20,400 --> 01:02:25,000
And God uses her.
Her faith to do extraordinary
1021
01:02:25,000 --> 01:02:26,600
things for God.
Amen.
1022
01:02:27,400 --> 01:02:29,500
And so if you're looking around
like a man, but if you do my
1023
01:02:29,500 --> 01:02:33,300
past I don't I personally don't
need no your pass to know Jesus
1024
01:02:33,300 --> 01:02:34,900
who forgave your past?
Amen.
1025
01:02:35,400 --> 01:02:37,500
And so we got stop looking in
the rearview mirror and being
1026
01:02:37,500 --> 01:02:39,600
held on by this anchor.
Oh, look what happened in my
1027
01:02:39,600 --> 01:02:42,000
life?
It's like glory to God because
1028
01:02:42,000 --> 01:02:45,600
what much is much as much as
forgiving.
1029
01:02:46,000 --> 01:02:47,500
Then much is required.
Amen.
1030
01:02:47,900 --> 01:02:50,300
And so you can just go like,
well, me and God just took down
1031
01:02:50,300 --> 01:02:52,300
that big anchor.
Praise God.
1032
01:02:52,300 --> 01:02:54,400
Hallelujah.
Ooh, I've got a story to tell
1033
01:02:54,600 --> 01:02:57,500
and so you guys are blessed with
the ability to share your story.
1034
01:02:57,600 --> 01:03:01,800
I once was a sinner, but God
saved me.
1035
01:03:02,300 --> 01:03:05,800
I once was blind, but now I see.
Amen.
1036
01:03:06,400 --> 01:03:09,500
And look at, look at Rahab and
her story, it's like, man, if
1037
01:03:09,500 --> 01:03:13,400
God can use her, by the way, so
far down the list, you've had a
1038
01:03:13,400 --> 01:03:15,600
murderer.
You had people sleep with her,
1039
01:03:15,800 --> 01:03:18,600
Daughters, you have a drunkards,
you've had an another person who
1040
01:03:18,600 --> 01:03:21,300
was killed by somebody.
I mean, just if you don't know
1041
01:03:21,300 --> 01:03:24,200
the Bible, I'm sorry because it
is so real.
1042
01:03:24,300 --> 01:03:26,300
Nobody, can nobody write this.
If they're writing this, they
1043
01:03:26,300 --> 01:03:28,100
don't.
Okay, people are history, they
1044
01:03:28,100 --> 01:03:30,000
cut out all that stuff in their
family right?
1045
01:03:30,200 --> 01:03:32,600
Come on is the perfect family
right just like that picture.
1046
01:03:32,600 --> 01:03:34,400
You just retake the picture.
They just write how they want to
1047
01:03:34,408 --> 01:03:37,200
ride it but this is the real
deal and so we can have faith in
1048
01:03:37,200 --> 01:03:38,600
God.
Just ordinary people do
1049
01:03:38,600 --> 01:03:41,400
extraordinary things for God.
The key greeting is simply this
1050
01:03:41,500 --> 01:03:44,000
by Faith by faith.
I'm gonna tell you what.
1051
01:03:44,000 --> 01:03:45,600
Faith looks like your life and
found in Titus.
1052
01:03:45,700 --> 01:03:48,500
Chapter 3 verse 4 through 7, and
this is the gospel.
1053
01:03:48,500 --> 01:03:50,600
This is one of the greatest
presentations of the Gospel.
1054
01:03:50,900 --> 01:03:54,200
This is Paul speaking to your
Protege like build them up,
1055
01:03:54,200 --> 01:03:55,700
right?
It says this but when the
1056
01:03:55,700 --> 01:04:00,000
kindness and love of God, our
savior appeared he saved us.
1057
01:04:00,200 --> 01:04:03,500
Now, don't forget this.
This is it not because of
1058
01:04:03,600 --> 01:04:08,400
righteous things, we had done,
you know, you're forgiven, not
1059
01:04:08,400 --> 01:04:11,900
because that you are a good
person you know you're not
1060
01:04:11,900 --> 01:04:14,600
forgiven because you measure up.
You're not forgiven because
1061
01:04:14,600 --> 01:04:17,000
you're perfect.
I've been giving it forgive me
1062
01:04:17,000 --> 01:04:19,800
because you went to church and
you read your Bible like the
1063
01:04:19,800 --> 01:04:21,600
thief on the cross.
He did nothing righteous, he
1064
01:04:21,600 --> 01:04:24,200
probably never prayed before a
meal, you probably know the name
1065
01:04:24,200 --> 01:04:28,100
of God, and for just, but God's
Divine Providence, he is hanging
1066
01:04:28,100 --> 01:04:29,700
across next Tuesday, I'll see
you in Paradise.
1067
01:04:29,700 --> 01:04:32,600
He says, you're forgiven, you're
forgiven by this, look what it
1068
01:04:32,607 --> 01:04:34,600
says now because of righteous
things, you've done.
1069
01:04:34,900 --> 01:04:40,200
But because of his Mercy, his
Mercy, his Mercy.
1070
01:04:40,300 --> 01:04:43,000
Mercy is when somebody shows up
and they steal your truck, and
1071
01:04:43,000 --> 01:04:45,200
then you hit you hand him.
The next Keys, the next car.
1072
01:04:45,700 --> 01:04:48,500
That's that's Mercy right.
That Justice is when somebody
1073
01:04:48,500 --> 01:04:50,700
steals your truck you just you
take them out back you know I'm
1074
01:04:50,700 --> 01:04:54,300
saying that's Justice Mercy is
like oh you want the car o have
1075
01:04:54,300 --> 01:04:58,900
this car too right and the grace
of God is like oh hey don't
1076
01:04:58,900 --> 01:05:01,400
worry.
It's forgiving, you can have all
1077
01:05:01,400 --> 01:05:05,700
this but just freely given no
strings attached, Jesus on the
1078
01:05:05,700 --> 01:05:07,800
seat, taking the execution for
us.
1079
01:05:07,900 --> 01:05:11,200
He takes her penalty or payment
for our sin but because of his
1080
01:05:11,200 --> 01:05:16,100
Mercy, he saved us through the
washing of rebirth and the All
1081
01:05:16,300 --> 01:05:19,100
by the Holy Spirit whom he
poured out on us.
1082
01:05:19,100 --> 01:05:23,400
Help me out how us generously
generously.
1083
01:05:23,500 --> 01:05:25,900
Do you know you get a full dose
of the Holy Spirit when you came
1084
01:05:25,900 --> 01:05:29,100
to Christ and it wasn't because
anything you did, what whether
1085
01:05:29,100 --> 01:05:31,800
you killed people, you sold
drugs with your complete
1086
01:05:31,800 --> 01:05:34,100
lunatic, whether you treat you
like trash, whether you
1087
01:05:34,100 --> 01:05:36,600
personally let out of the
divorce and it's all your fault.
1088
01:05:36,700 --> 01:05:38,800
Where the person who did all
this other stuff, it does not
1089
01:05:38,800 --> 01:05:41,300
matter whatsoever.
When you came to Christ he gave
1090
01:05:41,300 --> 01:05:43,100
you the full dose.
Matter fact, he didn't take a
1091
01:05:43,107 --> 01:05:45,400
little eyedropper of the Holy
Spirit and Go Peep.
1092
01:05:45,700 --> 01:05:48,900
And when you grow a little more
peep like you little bleep.
1093
01:05:49,000 --> 01:05:50,800
No, no.
He gave you the full dose of the
1094
01:05:50,800 --> 01:05:53,500
Holy Spirit.
He generously gave it to you.
1095
01:05:53,500 --> 01:05:55,100
This was not to support that bag
of chips.
1096
01:05:55,100 --> 01:05:56,500
Come on somebody.
Right?
1097
01:05:56,500 --> 01:05:58,200
You know, so it gets smaller
every day.
1098
01:05:58,200 --> 01:06:01,400
It's like what in the world?
This is the full bag of Jesus.
1099
01:06:01,400 --> 01:06:03,300
Amen.
So I'm telling you this is you
1100
01:06:03,300 --> 01:06:06,700
have all it takes inside of you
through the Holy Spirit to be
1101
01:06:06,700 --> 01:06:10,300
Transcendent in our culture.
Amen.
1102
01:06:11,000 --> 01:06:13,600
Amen.
Jesus is the Christ Jesus.
1103
01:06:13,600 --> 01:06:17,800
Our savior not you Christ in You
haven't been Justified declared
1104
01:06:17,800 --> 01:06:20,500
righteous by grace that we might
become heirs having hope of
1105
01:06:20,500 --> 01:06:25,000
eternal life, it's lacrosse that
qualifies you to break the
1106
01:06:25,000 --> 01:06:31,000
limits and we should by faith
here, 11:32 and what, what more
1107
01:06:31,000 --> 01:06:33,400
should I say?
I do not have time, which I
1108
01:06:33,408 --> 01:06:36,800
don't, but I don't have time to
tell you about Gideon and Barak
1109
01:06:36,900 --> 01:06:39,200
and Samson in jephthah.
Now, if you don't know about
1110
01:06:39,200 --> 01:06:41,300
Jessica ago, judge 11, been
amazing story.

01:06:44,408 --> 01:06:48,000

01:06:48,300 --> 01:06:51,100
in through faith, look what
happens through faith.
1114
01:06:51,100 --> 01:06:53,600
This is amazing.
They conquered kingdoms
1115
01:06:54,000 --> 01:06:57,100
administer Justice gained.
What was promised?
1116
01:06:57,100 --> 01:07:00,200
And we talked about this and
shut the mouths of lions.
1117
01:07:00,200 --> 01:07:02,800
Amen.
They quench the fury of flames
1118
01:07:02,900 --> 01:07:04,800
escaped.
The edge of the sword and whose
1119
01:07:04,900 --> 01:07:08,800
weakness was turned to strength.
It wasn't about their ability,
1120
01:07:09,000 --> 01:07:11,200
it was about their inability
God, used their weakness and he
1121
01:07:11,207 --> 01:07:13,700
became strong.
It says this, that they became
1122
01:07:13,700 --> 01:07:15,500
powerful and battle rather
Foreigner.
1123
01:07:15,600 --> 01:07:18,000
When the received back through
dead raised to life.
1124
01:07:18,000 --> 01:07:21,100
Again, there were others who
were tortured refusing to be
1125
01:07:21,100 --> 01:07:23,100
released that they may gain and
even better.
1126
01:07:23,100 --> 01:07:25,200
Resurrection.
They say I'd rather die for
1127
01:07:25,200 --> 01:07:27,400
Christ and denounce Christ.
So I guess you have to take me
1128
01:07:27,400 --> 01:07:29,700
out.
There's so many Martyrs that
1129
01:07:29,700 --> 01:07:31,400
say, you know what?
That's where my house was sort
1130
01:07:31,400 --> 01:07:32,900
of lure.
This we're going to do and they
1131
01:07:32,900 --> 01:07:35,400
died a death because it rather
just sit there.
1132
01:07:35,600 --> 01:07:38,800
Say I'm a Christian and some
facial cheers, which is mockings
1133
01:07:38,800 --> 01:07:40,900
and flogging and even chains and
imprisonment.
1134
01:07:40,900 --> 01:07:43,900
And they were put to death by
stoning and they were sold into
1135
01:07:43,900 --> 01:07:46,400
two and they're killed by The
Sword and the They went about in
1136
01:07:46,400 --> 01:07:49,600
sheepskins and goatskins being
destitute persecuted.
1137
01:07:49,600 --> 01:07:53,000
In mistreated verse 38, probably
most powerful phrase.
1138
01:07:53,000 --> 01:07:57,800
The entire chapter 11 says us
that the world was not worthy.
1139
01:07:58,500 --> 01:08:00,800
Come on somebody.
Let me that might be the
1140
01:08:00,800 --> 01:08:04,000
greatest definition of Faith.
Somebody who lives in such a way
1141
01:08:04,000 --> 01:08:09,700
that the world was not worthy of
their walk by faith, not by
1142
01:08:09,700 --> 01:08:12,500
sight.
Really, by faith.
1143
01:08:12,500 --> 01:08:15,100
Push it into a generation like
leaving the way.
1144
01:08:15,100 --> 01:08:18,600
They don't make any sense to me,
but I have to put my faith, you
1145
01:08:18,600 --> 01:08:20,000
know, God called me to launch a
church.
1146
01:08:20,000 --> 01:08:22,500
Okay, my faith launch the
church.
1147
01:08:22,500 --> 01:08:24,100
Is it going to work out?
I've no idea.
1148
01:08:24,100 --> 01:08:27,200
Come on somebody.
You know I mean he's like he's
1149
01:08:27,200 --> 01:08:29,399
got to do it.
I don't know if you don't do it
1150
01:08:29,399 --> 01:08:30,399
we're going to move somewhere
else, right?
1151
01:08:30,399 --> 01:08:33,600
We're just keep moving forward
and thank God, try to go to Asia
1152
01:08:33,600 --> 01:08:34,500
as well.
That's not going to work out
1153
01:08:34,508 --> 01:08:35,899
this way.
Just by faith, it's a
1154
01:08:35,899 --> 01:08:37,200
generation.
It steps up.
1155
01:08:38,700 --> 01:08:40,899
I mean how much faith on the
scale that we have right?
1156
01:08:41,899 --> 01:08:45,800
Let me know you marked by faith
or Humana William of Faith.
1157
01:08:46,200 --> 01:08:48,899
These people they honored God in
the darkest days.
1158
01:08:49,500 --> 01:08:53,399
They're persecuted in the
darkness, they're outcasts, they
1159
01:08:53,399 --> 01:08:55,700
were killed.
They set such an example, the
1160
01:08:55,700 --> 01:08:58,500
presence of God, the world
didn't deserve such men and
1161
01:08:58,500 --> 01:09:00,500
women.
I think about these men and we
1162
01:09:00,500 --> 01:09:03,899
talk about Enoch little bit that
these what it means to be you to
1163
01:09:03,899 --> 01:09:06,000
be not worth the world out.
There were these kind of people,
1164
01:09:06,200 --> 01:09:09,800
it's a lemon zest.
There are So Much Heaven in them
1165
01:09:09,800 --> 01:09:12,399
that the world to deserve their
walk on earth.
1166
01:09:12,399 --> 01:09:15,800
He came aggen being so much like
Jesus.
1167
01:09:15,800 --> 01:09:18,700
That God just says the world
isn't worthy of you.
1168
01:09:18,800 --> 01:09:21,100
I mean, I want to go through
that tunnel and having you know
1169
01:09:21,100 --> 01:09:23,800
like one of the well, the
archway is right, where the
1170
01:09:23,808 --> 01:09:25,600
gates.
These be like just pray to
1171
01:09:25,608 --> 01:09:29,700
people go man.
You want those wants the God
1172
01:09:29,700 --> 01:09:32,000
just called you home because the
world wasn't worthy of your
1173
01:09:32,000 --> 01:09:34,899
walk.
Amen, you changes in duration,
1174
01:09:34,899 --> 01:09:37,500
you change the community, he
laid out.
1175
01:09:37,500 --> 01:09:40,399
Out there and you're the blood
of your life.
1176
01:09:40,500 --> 01:09:43,100
What you did lives on Beyond you
because you can't silence the
1177
01:09:43,100 --> 01:09:44,200
work of God.
Amen.
1178
01:09:45,100 --> 01:09:48,399
This is what God is calling us
to do and we can rise up.
1179
01:09:48,700 --> 01:09:50,600
Why Can't We Be The Chariot of
fire generation?
1180
01:09:50,899 --> 01:09:55,000
What is stopping us from?
Pushing that direction who can
1181
01:09:55,000 --> 01:09:56,600
stop the work of God.
Amen.
1182
01:09:58,500 --> 01:10:04,300
Just us just ourselves.
If God is willing, we move, we
1183
01:10:04,300 --> 01:10:07,200
push we transcend in our
culture.
1184
01:10:07,700 --> 01:10:10,100
Verse 38 says, they wandered in
deserts and mountains, live in
1185
01:10:10,100 --> 01:10:12,900
caves and holes in the ground.
They're all commended their
1186
01:10:12,900 --> 01:10:15,700
clotted for their faith.
Yeah.
1187
01:10:15,700 --> 01:10:17,800
None of them received.
What they've been promised last
1188
01:10:17,800 --> 01:10:21,300
verse of chapter 11 since God
had planned?
1189
01:10:21,300 --> 01:10:23,200
God had a purpose and all of
this pain.
1190
01:10:23,200 --> 01:10:26,000
All the things was happening.
Got in playing something better.
1191
01:10:26,600 --> 01:10:28,500
There we come.
The Picture for us.
1192
01:10:29,000 --> 01:10:31,200
These people didn't live through
the promise, they're still
1193
01:10:31,200 --> 01:10:33,900
looking forward to it and they
the will was worthy what they
1194
01:10:33,900 --> 01:10:36,400
did there fighting for the
things of God, but never
1195
01:10:36,400 --> 01:10:40,400
received it because of us.
Now, we enter the picture.
1196
01:10:40,700 --> 01:10:45,300
So that only together with us,
these ancients of Faith would be
1197
01:10:45,300 --> 01:10:48,900
made perfect with.
This is simply saying, is this
1198
01:10:49,200 --> 01:10:51,300
not Kingdom?
We talked about that, that city
1199
01:10:51,300 --> 01:10:54,500
of fountains member and
architecture was God and the
1200
01:10:54,500 --> 01:10:57,100
Builder, was God?
Why hasn't that come yet?
1201
01:10:58,400 --> 01:11:00,300
Why are we in the city of
fountains?
1202
01:11:00,800 --> 01:11:04,600
What, why are we there yet?
And the simple answer is this
1203
01:11:05,400 --> 01:11:08,000
because God wants us.
Amen.
1204
01:11:08,800 --> 01:11:14,300
He wants us, he is patiently
enduring all this in all the
1205
01:11:14,300 --> 01:11:18,700
chaos, all the Brokenness, all
the things so that we could know
1206
01:11:18,700 --> 01:11:22,200
him and together with these
ancient of faith, we get to
1207
01:11:22,200 --> 01:11:26,000
fulfill the promise, same in the
God wants us to know him.
1208
01:11:26,100 --> 01:11:27,500
Think of second Peter 3.
Nine.
1209
01:11:27,500 --> 01:11:30,400
This is put this in your heart,
in your mind.
1210
01:11:30,900 --> 01:11:33,700
It says this, the Lord is not
slow, in keeping his promise as
1211
01:11:33,700 --> 01:11:36,800
some understand slowness.
Instead, he is patient with you
1212
01:11:36,900 --> 01:11:39,700
not wanting anyone to perish,
but everyone to come to
1213
01:11:39,900 --> 01:11:42,300
repentance.
What is simply saying, is this,
1214
01:11:42,400 --> 01:11:43,900
is that everything up to this
point?
1215
01:11:43,900 --> 01:11:47,300
Every moment in time is created
for this exact moment for you to
1216
01:11:47,300 --> 01:11:48,900
know Jesus.
Amen.
1217
01:11:49,800 --> 01:11:52,000
Everything is pointed to this
right now.
1218
01:11:52,400 --> 01:11:57,600
This intersection for you to
know God to tippity part of the
1219
01:11:57,608 --> 01:12:01,900
story of God, either comes a day
when you don't need Faith.
1220
01:12:02,900 --> 01:12:04,400
There comes a day when your
faith becomes side.
1221
01:12:04,400 --> 01:12:08,800
Amen, we need to put your hands
and put your head into the found
1222
01:12:08,800 --> 01:12:10,300
of God's.
Come on, somebody.
1223
01:12:10,600 --> 01:12:13,400
You to walk on the streets of
gold where you don't have oil
1224
01:12:13,400 --> 01:12:15,400
slicks because your car breaks
down, come on.
1225
01:12:15,500 --> 01:12:18,600
You don't change flat tires and
Heaven into the centerpiece is
1226
01:12:18,600 --> 01:12:22,400
Jesus and you fall before God,
and you just dry out and
1227
01:12:22,400 --> 01:12:24,300
thankful heart broken before
him.
1228
01:12:24,300 --> 01:12:26,100
Thank you, Jesus.
Thank you.
1229
01:12:26,100 --> 01:12:26,700
Jesus.
Sis.
1230
01:12:26,700 --> 01:12:28,300
This is why I lived a life of
faith.
1231
01:12:28,400 --> 01:12:31,000
My faith has now become site.
Amen.
1232
01:12:32,000 --> 01:12:35,300
Every day by faith, believing
that God is right here.
1233
01:12:35,300 --> 01:12:36,500
Next, use the air.
I breathe.
1234
01:12:36,600 --> 01:12:39,900
He's in the moments.
He's here with us.
1235
01:12:40,100 --> 01:12:42,400
It's a manual means God With Us.
Jesus is name.
1236
01:12:42,400 --> 01:12:46,200
Alone means he is with you.
But think about this, God did
1237
01:12:46,200 --> 01:12:48,000
not just die and his mom was
created.
1238
01:12:48,000 --> 01:12:51,000
Just so, you know him.
He's also created so that others
1239
01:12:51,000 --> 01:12:55,300
can know him as well, a man, so
you can know him and make him
1240
01:12:55,600 --> 01:12:57,400
known.
So, you weren't great to be
1241
01:12:57,400 --> 01:12:58,400
silent.
Amen.
1242
01:13:00,600 --> 01:13:04,000
There's no faith in silence.
Now, in fact, they call a sin of
1243
01:13:04,000 --> 01:13:06,400
Silence.
There's a lot of good people
1244
01:13:06,700 --> 01:13:11,100
that believe in God, that sits
silent but there's very few men
1245
01:13:11,100 --> 01:13:16,000
and women that the boldness and
courage to step out and open
1246
01:13:16,000 --> 01:13:17,500
their mouths for the glory of
God.
1247
01:13:17,500 --> 01:13:20,800
Amen.
And that's what's 123 is, it is
1248
01:13:20,800 --> 01:13:24,000
the year where we break
boundaries, it's the year we we
1249
01:13:24,000 --> 01:13:28,100
come out with our faith.
If there is a were done hiding
1250
01:13:28,200 --> 01:13:30,300
in the corners, we're done being
pushed.
1251
01:13:30,400 --> 01:13:33,700
It back on and being down.
I no longer afraid the King.
1252
01:13:33,700 --> 01:13:36,500
Come on somebody, the lowercase
k, right?
1253
01:13:36,900 --> 01:13:40,200
I'm gonna walk in the glory of
God and we made a faith person
1254
01:13:40,200 --> 01:13:41,900
has Faith uncle in Beijing.
I think about it.
1255
01:13:41,900 --> 01:13:44,900
Amen.
It's make a post this and be
1256
01:13:44,900 --> 01:13:46,900
cancelled culture, our church
come outside, right?
1257
01:13:47,400 --> 01:13:50,300
And I don't care, I keep telling
Dynamic retread, I'm like a
1258
01:13:50,300 --> 01:13:53,000
relic I'm like that old school
leftover man of Faith.
1259
01:13:53,000 --> 01:13:55,200
Like it's just there, I'm just
being pushed into a corner all
1260
01:13:55,200 --> 01:13:58,400
the time and then he culture and
Society, it's like just like
1261
01:13:58,400 --> 01:14:01,100
what an outdated thing.
What is not outdated, it's
1262
01:14:01,100 --> 01:14:05,100
really man, and we get to, we
got to live it out, we got to
1263
01:14:05,100 --> 01:14:07,600
live it out, not being rude or
pushing down on people.
1264
01:14:07,700 --> 01:14:10,600
We love people to Jesus.
We don't expect them all to
1265
01:14:10,608 --> 01:14:13,200
understand that our soldiers
were foreigners.
1266
01:14:13,400 --> 01:14:17,400
In this country, we transcend
our culture where generation
1267
01:14:17,500 --> 01:14:20,000
that the world wasn't worthy of
that should be our generation.
1268
01:14:20,000 --> 01:14:21,800
A men should put a sign above
the door.
1269
01:14:21,800 --> 01:14:24,100
The world is not worthy.
That's what kind of men and
1270
01:14:24,100 --> 01:14:25,200
women are.
Its kind of children.
1271
01:14:25,200 --> 01:14:28,200
We raise, we didn't limit the
call of God willing to a chair.
1272
01:14:28,200 --> 01:14:31,200
Then charted territory with took
grounds the gospel, we broke
1273
01:14:31,200 --> 01:14:32,900
barriers, not because we're
perfect.
1274
01:14:32,900 --> 01:14:35,800
We're forgiven.
And we're faith-filled for
1275
01:14:35,800 --> 01:14:39,000
Jesus, Michelle, Knight
scripture or out of here, but
1276
01:14:39,000 --> 01:14:40,500
this is.
You think about the guiding your
1277
01:14:40,500 --> 01:14:42,900
face.
Now, your spiritual life taking
1278
01:14:42,900 --> 01:14:45,800
off Cutting out the voices
fueled by the power of prayer
1279
01:14:45,800 --> 01:14:48,000
marked by prayer and unchartered
territory.
1280
01:14:48,100 --> 01:14:50,800
This is the passage for you.
It's Hebrews. 12 verse 1,
1281
01:14:50,800 --> 01:14:54,000
through 3 and it says, simply
says this, therefore, which is
1282
01:14:54,000 --> 01:14:56,300
referring back to everything we
just said, he was loving, right?
1283
01:14:56,500 --> 01:14:59,100
Because all these Great Men of
Faith, all these stories since
1284
01:14:59,100 --> 01:15:01,600
we are surrounded by such a
great cloud of witnesses, let us
1285
01:15:01,600 --> 01:15:04,300
throw off everything that
hinders and the sin that so
1286
01:15:04,300 --> 01:15:08,700
easily entangles, and let us run
with perseverance, the race
1287
01:15:08,700 --> 01:15:13,700
marked out for us.
It was a race for you, the Jesus
1288
01:15:13,700 --> 01:15:16,900
is marked out and you're called
by faith to run that race like
1289
01:15:16,900 --> 01:15:21,300
pushing to the Gates of Hell to
pick up the laid-back lasered
1290
01:15:21,300 --> 01:15:23,900
better, recliner and put up and
just get rid of it and move
1291
01:15:23,900 --> 01:15:26,900
forward to things of God, Amen.
You have race.
1292
01:15:27,100 --> 01:15:31,300
They running towards fixing our
eyes on, Jesus might be the
1293
01:15:31,300 --> 01:15:33,900
greatest part of that passage.
You're looking at Christ the
1294
01:15:33,907 --> 01:15:37,400
entire time, the Pioneer and
Perfecter of faith for the joy
1295
01:15:37,400 --> 01:15:39,400
set, before Jesus, he endured
the cross.
1296
01:15:39,400 --> 01:15:42,000
Scorning its shame.
He sat down at the right hand of
1297
01:15:42,008 --> 01:15:44,500
the Throne of God.
If you want your year and your
1298
01:15:44,500 --> 01:15:46,800
life to make a difference, this
is the virtue better putting
1299
01:15:46,800 --> 01:15:49,900
hard because there's hard times
and difficult seasons and says,
1300
01:15:49,900 --> 01:15:54,600
verse 3 says, considered Jesus
who endured such opposition from
1301
01:15:54,600 --> 01:16:00,300
Sinners, that you will not grow
weary and lose heart, if you
1302
01:16:00,300 --> 01:16:03,500
want to give up, you look no
further than the cross of Jesus,
1303
01:16:03,800 --> 01:16:06,600
because it was worth, Jesus
going all the way for us
1304
01:16:06,700 --> 01:16:09,400
splitting every ounce of his
blood so that we could know him.
1305
01:16:09,500 --> 01:16:12,500
It is worth me spending every
ounce of my blood to serve him.
1306
01:16:12,500 --> 01:16:16,400
Amen.
This is called God by faith.
1307
01:16:16,400 --> 01:16:18,100
We live our life.
You want your life the matter
1308
01:16:18,400 --> 01:16:21,100
Bill live it by faith not by
sight father.
1309
01:16:21,100 --> 01:16:25,300
Come before you better pray for
a generation of transcended.
1310
01:16:25,300 --> 01:16:30,400
People gather put you first
before of faith today, my
1311
01:16:30,400 --> 01:16:32,300
favorite group people that's in
the house and those are seen it.
1312
01:16:32,300 --> 01:16:35,900
What I know Jesus, but today I
recognize that one playing it
1313
01:16:35,900 --> 01:16:39,300
safe I've been playing inside of
a box territory babe.
1314
01:16:39,300 --> 01:16:42,400
I said Moses rules made my limit
of my own smaller faith of the
1315
01:16:42,407 --> 01:16:44,100
day.
I'll have Faith in God.
1316
01:16:44,400 --> 01:16:47,000
I'll be transcended person.
I would take ground.
1317
01:16:47,000 --> 01:16:48,600
I'll be that person for my
family.
1318
01:16:48,800 --> 01:16:51,000
I mean, I personally where God
calls me to go, I'm going to
1319
01:16:51,000 --> 01:16:54,900
live a life of great faith,
transcend in my culture.
1320
01:16:55,000 --> 01:16:58,000
And I've been weary, I've been
broken and I realized that they
1321
01:16:58,000 --> 01:16:59,600
are looking at Jesus and he went
all for me.
1322
01:16:59,600 --> 01:17:02,000
So I'm going all for him and
that you day, we just put your
1323
01:17:02,000 --> 01:17:02,800
hand high and say, you know
what?
1324
01:17:02,800 --> 01:17:04,600
That's me.
I'm a big faith today.
1325
01:17:04,600 --> 01:17:07,200
I'm gonna go all in for Jesus.
I'm a live on faith as hands.
1326
01:17:07,200 --> 01:17:09,900
All across this room.
I'll pray for your father.
1327
01:17:09,900 --> 01:17:13,100
You see the hands got, make us
to generation, but the world.
1328
01:17:13,300 --> 01:17:15,000
Wasn't worthy.
Let us get to heaven.
1329
01:17:15,000 --> 01:17:17,000
One day.
There was Chariots of Fire and
1330
01:17:17,000 --> 01:17:19,900
that generation does the
generation that stood up took
1331
01:17:19,900 --> 01:17:21,800
round back.
It was afraid.
1332
01:17:21,900 --> 01:17:25,600
Most Fearless the culture.
So God gives the boldness and
1333
01:17:25,608 --> 01:17:29,800
the courage because we put our
face to your face, the face into
1334
01:17:29,800 --> 01:17:32,900
the Bible, and we saw you face
to face and humble ourselves.
1335
01:17:33,300 --> 01:17:36,600
We walk by faith, not by sight.
We pray for one more group
1336
01:17:36,600 --> 01:17:37,300
people.
That's those.
1337
01:17:37,300 --> 01:17:40,500
You that walked in the day and
say, no, I'm a man of no faith.
1338
01:17:40,900 --> 01:17:43,000
I'm a woman of faith.
I came in with very little faith
1339
01:17:43,000 --> 01:17:45,600
that Nice face.
But today, I recognize that
1340
01:17:45,600 --> 01:17:49,800
Jesus is patiently waiting for
me at this moment.
1341
01:17:49,800 --> 01:17:53,900
In time is not an accident that
somebody brought me here and it
1342
01:17:53,900 --> 01:17:55,700
took faith in them.
Invite me.
1343
01:17:56,300 --> 01:17:58,400
And that they brought me into
the word of God and I hear the
1344
01:17:58,400 --> 01:18:00,100
voice of God speaking to me
today.
1345
01:18:00,100 --> 01:18:03,500
I want to know Jesus, oh, no,
the Father, the author, and the
1346
01:18:03,508 --> 01:18:06,000
finisher of Faith.
I'll be in that city of
1347
01:18:06,000 --> 01:18:07,600
fountains one day and that's
you.
1348
01:18:07,600 --> 01:18:10,400
And you want Jesus.
We forgiven made new set free.
1349
01:18:10,800 --> 01:18:12,400
If that's you just raise your
hand high as I need.
1350
01:18:12,400 --> 01:18:14,200
Jesus a day.
Don't put your hand in the
1351
01:18:14,200 --> 01:18:15,600
place.
I'm gonna call you out, making
1352
01:18:15,600 --> 01:18:17,600
weird with you.
Jesus, come on.
1353
01:18:18,500 --> 01:18:19,500
That's you just prayed his
prayers.
1354
01:18:19,500 --> 01:18:25,100
He finally got thanks so much
for sending Jesus to die and
1355
01:18:25,100 --> 01:18:29,400

God thank you for the spirit of

01:18:41,100 --> 01:18:43,100
And I pray this in faith in
Jesus.

01:18:43,300 --> 01:18:44,800
It's in his name.

Amen, come on.
Let's give up for God today.

In fact, it's quite the
1368
01:18:56,800 --> 01:18:59,300
opposite.
It's the beginning and all of
1369
01:18:59,300 --> 01:19:01,100

your journey, something else you
1376
01:19:18,400 --> 01:19:20,700
could do on your way out.
Out of the worship center today
1377
01:19:20,700 --> 01:19:23,800
is that the back table you can
grab a red bag and in that bag
1378
01:19:23,800 --> 01:19:25,500
is a Bible, we just encourage
you.
1379
01:19:25,500 --> 01:19:28,600
Dive in Hebrews, would be a
really cool place to start, just
1380
01:19:28,600 --> 01:19:31,100
kind of following along with
that message today.
1381
01:19:31,100 --> 01:19:34,200
And again, there's just even
more resources in there for you

just transcended by faith.
1384
01:19:40,700 --> 01:19:43,100
And we just one of the coolest
ways we can do that.
1385
01:19:43,100 --> 01:19:45,600
Most practical ways is just to
say, we're not going to be

01:19:45,600 --> 01:19:47,700
silent anymore.
So I want you to look on your

That looks like, So that's just
a really practical cool tool
1389
01:19:52,800 --> 01:19:54,200

Arsenal.

01:20:10,600 --> 01:20:13,600
purpose and all that good stuff.
What's cool about these cards?
1397
01:20:13,600 --> 01:20:18,000
There prayed over each week by
the real-life staff and I just

encourage you to also add to
that and pray over these cards
1399
01:20:21,000 --> 01:20:23,900

So I said, courage, you to be
inviting people out, bringing
1404
01:20:35,900 --> 01:20:40,000
people out and that you will be
bold by faith this week, man.
1405
01:20:40,200 --> 01:20:42,800

at the beginning of this year.
1408
01:20:49,700 --> 01:20:51,200
One of the really cool ways
you've done that.
1409
01:20:51,200 --> 01:20:54,200
So our Hope Center, and I'm
super excited to announce that
1410
01:20:54,200 --> 01:20:57,500

1411
01:20:57,500 --> 01:21:01,900
As they get to take over and
really own that Hope Center on

all the adults that serve and
1414
01:21:08,700 --> 01:21:12,600
just love on these kids, man,
it's going to be awesome to have
1415
01:21:12,600 --> 01:21:15,900
that anchor space that home.
They can just call their own
1416
01:21:16,100 --> 01:21:18,400
each and every week not putting
anybody else out.
1417
01:21:18,400 --> 01:21:20,400
And so we're just excited for
that.
1418
01:21:20,400 --> 01:21:21,800
And hey, that doesn't just
happen.
1419
01:21:21,800 --> 01:21:24,100
That's because of your
generosity.
1420
01:21:24,100 --> 01:21:27,300
And I want to invite you to play
a part of generosity at real
1421
01:21:27,300 --> 01:21:28,800
life, not just for our real-life
youth.
1422
01:21:28,800 --> 01:21:31,400
But for all the other
Ministries, all the other goals
1423
01:21:31,400 --> 01:21:34,500
that we have here to reach our
community for Christ.
1424
01:21:34,500 --> 01:21:37,600
And so, of course, I'm talking

01:21:41,700 --> 01:21:43,900
not going to call you to
generosity just yet.
1428
01:21:43,900 --> 01:21:47,300
In fact, this Gathering was our
gift to you, but if you do call
1429
01:21:47,300 --> 01:21:48,600
real life home, here's some
ways.
1430
01:21:48,600 --> 01:21:52,000
You can play a part.
Real Life Church kc.com you can
1431
01:21:52,008 --> 01:21:55,400
text any amount 8, 4 3, 2 1.
We have a giving box in the very
1432
01:21:55,400 --> 01:21:58,800
back where you can drop off
envelopes cash, things like that
1433
01:21:58,800 --> 01:22:01,800
and then our Usher's going to be
coming by with the giving
1434
01:22:01,800 --> 01:22:03,300
baskets and hey the giving
buckets.
1435
01:22:03,300 --> 01:22:07,500
I should say, hey if you find
yourself immediately in need of
1436
01:22:07,600 --> 01:22:10,100
food, clothing or shelter, we
just invite you to go ahead and
1437
01:22:10,100 --> 01:22:12,700
reach in those buckets as they
go by finding a loose cash.
1438
01:22:12,700 --> 01:22:16,700
You see, and use that to bless
you and your family this week.
1439
01:22:16,700 --> 01:22:19,200
One more exciting thing I want
you to check out this video as
1440
01:22:19,200 --> 01:22:20,700

A little bit more about
1441
01:22:20,700 --> 01:22:22,200
missions.
Check it out.
1442
01:22:31,400 --> 01:22:34,900
I want to give you a quick
update on how your generosity is
1443
01:22:34,900 --> 01:22:37,300
making a difference across the
world.
1444
01:22:37,300 --> 01:22:40,900
Through one of our global
missions Partners in Colombia
1445
01:22:40,900 --> 01:22:45,400
South America.
The eec or Escuela de
1446
01:22:45,500 --> 01:22:51,100
entrenamiento Cristiano is a in
Residence discipleship training
1447
01:22:51,100 --> 01:22:54,300
school where they take young
people and put them into groups
1448
01:22:54,300 --> 01:22:57,600
of small verbs, one-on-one, and
life on life, discipleship.
1449
01:22:57,600 --> 01:23:02,300
That is changing the landscape
of Columbia for Jesus under the
1450
01:23:02,300 --> 01:23:05,700
leadership of you go and Juliana
Rodriguez.
1451
01:23:05,700 --> 01:23:09,600
The EC is a place where young
people can know God, they can
1452
01:23:09,600 --> 01:23:12,300
learn how to follow him and
ultimately they can become
1453
01:23:12,300 --> 01:23:15,000
leaders for the cause of Christ
in Colombia.
1454
01:23:15,200 --> 01:23:18,600
Many young people are at a
Crossroads in their life and the
1455
01:23:18,600 --> 01:23:23,100
EC helps them to come together
with God to say, what does my
1456
01:23:23,100 --> 01:23:24,900
life look like?
And it's truly a
1457
01:23:24,900 --> 01:23:27,500
transformational place where
they can connect to the heart of
1458
01:23:27,500 --> 01:23:29,800
God.
You go shared with me recently
1459
01:23:29,800 --> 01:23:33,000
that the work that we did.
Last summer has allowed he and
1460
01:23:33,000 --> 01:23:36,800
his family to move on site at
the school and it's just been a
1461
01:23:36,808 --> 01:23:39,500
huge blessing for his family.
Not to travel back and forth
1462
01:23:39,500 --> 01:23:41,900
across the country while school
is in and out of session.
1463
01:23:41,900 --> 01:23:45,300
And he also shared, they are so
excited because they've been
1464
01:23:45,300 --> 01:23:48,800
able to add three full-time and
one part-time staff member to
1465
01:23:48,800 --> 01:23:50,800
help lead the school and they
are.
1466
01:23:50,800 --> 01:23:53,500
So expecting about all God is
going to do in their next
1467
01:23:53,500 --> 01:23:56,400
session which actually starts on
February 17.
1468
01:23:56,500 --> 01:23:59,700
When you give a real life, you
are a part of making a
1469
01:23:59,708 --> 01:24:04,100
difference through the See, not
just in Bogota, But ultimately
1470
01:24:04,100 --> 01:24:06,400
across the world.
As many young people are making
1471
01:24:06,400 --> 01:24:09,100
decisions to become Church
Planters and work in the
1472
01:24:09,100 --> 01:24:12,600
ministry across the world.
So to all of you who give we
1473
01:24:12,600 --> 01:24:15,800
thank you today.
Some of you are thinking about
1474
01:24:15,800 --> 01:24:18,900
breaking through the limits of
this world has placed on you,
1475
01:24:19,100 --> 01:24:21,700
maybe you're ready to take a big
step of faith in something that
1476
01:24:21,700 --> 01:24:24,200
God is calling you to.
And so I want to challenge you
1477
01:24:24,200 --> 01:24:28,400
that today, maybe that big step
is to go with us to Colombia
1478
01:24:28,400 --> 01:24:30,400
this year.
I'm from August fit through a
1479
01:24:30,400 --> 01:24:32,900
lemon three.
Life is taking a team down to
1480
01:24:32,900 --> 01:24:36,500
connect with the eec team to
encourage their leadership and
1481
01:24:36,500 --> 01:24:39,800
ultimately to see what God will
do in the lives of us.
1482
01:24:39,800 --> 01:24:42,900
When we're fully surrendered to
him to find out more, you can
1483
01:24:42,900 --> 01:24:45,100
join us for a short
informational meeting on
1484
01:24:45,100 --> 01:24:48,600
February 5th right after the
second Gathering here at
1485
01:24:48,600 --> 01:24:52,300
Kentucky Trail.
God changes the world one person
1486
01:24:52,300 --> 01:24:56,500
at a time and I believe that he
wants to use you to make a big
1487
01:24:56,500 --> 01:24:59,100
impact across our world this
summer.
1488
01:24:59,500 --> 01:25:02,300
Some of you are going to
experience Since God in a whole
1489
01:25:02,300 --> 01:25:06,500
new way, this summer and I can't
wait to see how God can use your
1490
01:25:06,500 --> 01:25:09,700
life to impact generations to
come.
1491
01:25:09,900 --> 01:25:13,100
Keep going to see you next week
and in Columbia have a great
1492
01:25:13,100 --> 01:25:20,200
week, guys.
He's excited for Missions.
1493
01:25:21,100 --> 01:25:24,000
I remember it was a video just
like that last year that really
1494
01:25:24,000 --> 01:25:26,600
called on Brooke and I his heart
to a join the team in Columbia.
1495
01:25:26,600 --> 01:25:29,700
And so I would encourage you all
to Faithfully consider making
1496
01:25:29,700 --> 01:25:32,100
room in both your budget and
your calendar this year to join
1497
01:25:32,100 --> 01:25:35,200

38
00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:57,200

My name is Brandon, I serve here

So, how about you go ahead, give
away.
42
00:18:03,500 --> 00:18:05,800
Give a smile to someone sitting
around next to you and then
43
00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:25,600
let's have a seat.
Alright, and if you are new here
44
00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:28,300

00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:30,600
We do have a couple next steps
for you.
46
00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:32,800
And so, I'm gonna go ahead and
bite you to pause your phone.
47
00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:34,100
Yes.
You can have your phone out at
48
00:18:34,100 --> 00:18:38,100
church and we have a couple next
steps to get just a little bit
49
00:18:38,100 --> 00:18:41,400
more plugged in here at Real
Life Church, if you can text RL
50
00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:43,700
new.
Thousand know what that's going
51
00:18:43,700 --> 00:18:46,400
to do, it's going to pull up our
digital communication card, just
52
00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:49,200
a few short questions asking for
some pretty basic information
53
00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:51,800
that we will use to help follow
up with you this week.
54
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:54,900
You can get there the same way
by scanning the QR code on the
55
00:18:54,908 --> 00:18:57,200
seat back in front of you.
And then I'll pull up that exact
56
00:18:57,200 --> 00:18:59,700
same link if you are joining us
in person.
57
00:18:59,700 --> 00:19:02,600
Today, I invite you immediately
after the Gathering to join us
58
00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:05,400
at our new here Booth where we
do have a small gift for you.
59
00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:08,800
Just for making today, your home
for your church home.
60
00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:11,800
So thank you for that.
It's tell you a little bit more
61
00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:13,800
about Real Life Church who we
are.
62
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:18,100
We are at church on Mission and
you know, EC walk in here you
63
00:19:18,100 --> 00:19:20,700
probably overwhelmed by all the
lights, all the pipe and drape
64
00:19:20,700 --> 00:19:22,600
everything that we do to make
this.
65
00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:25,100
You know, this is our church
every single week.
66
00:19:25,100 --> 00:19:27,200
And why do we do it?
You know, why are we here?
67
00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:29,600
Why do we exist?
Is because of this Mission, this
68
00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:33,000
mission right here behind me to
see people far from God discover
69
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:36,600
their real life and purpose in.
Jesus and guys have you been
70
00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:39,100
enjoying this breakout Series?
So far to start off the year?
71
00:19:40,300 --> 00:19:43,000
If you're like me, you come in
every Sunday morning, you ready
72
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:45,600
fired up?
And then the Wii comes and you
73
00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:48,900
kind of maybe forget what those
resolutions are what you're
74
00:19:48,900 --> 00:19:51,600
trying to accomplish.
And so let's be reminded today
75
00:19:51,700 --> 00:19:53,900
that this is a, not an easy
thing to do.
76
00:19:54,100 --> 00:19:57,200
But if we continue to make those
small changes in our lives, we
77
00:19:57,200 --> 00:19:59,400
will see our breakout, you
really come to fruition.
78
00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:02,600
So, let's get over Pastor Sean,
as we go into the word today.
79
00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:08,500
Come on.
How you guys doing?
80
00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:12,100
Get a few Chiefs fans in the
house.
81
00:20:12,100 --> 00:20:16,900
I see.
Oh yeah, we'll see, no Donuts
82
00:20:16,900 --> 00:20:18,700
this year.
It's all you have to say if your
83
00:20:18,700 --> 00:20:22,800
last year that stung.
So anyway, man, are you guys
84
00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:24,700
feeling spirit guide your life
this year so far?
85
00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:27,400
You feeling that the hand of
God, just moving you a little
86
00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:29,500
bit.
Maybe this Series has been just
87
00:20:29,500 --> 00:20:31,900
kind of wake-up call really, for
me personally.
88
00:20:31,900 --> 00:20:34,700
And for all of us is diving into
what it is to follow.
89
00:20:34,700 --> 00:20:37,200
God, a different level.
And if you've been with us for a
90
00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:39,300
little bit of time or be a new
day, I mean, kind of lead you
91
00:20:39,300 --> 00:20:42,800
through been and it Started out
really talk about ignition known
92
00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:45,500
your personal, call read Vigor
and reigniting.
93
00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:47,800
The things of God in your life
and talk about Paul and how
94
00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:50,900
God's hand was on him and he
followed God's call to Gentiles
95
00:20:50,900 --> 00:20:54,400
and literally went before Kings
and preached, the gospel, if you
96
00:20:54,408 --> 00:20:56,200
remember the story, we're back
to David and Goliath.
97
00:20:56,200 --> 00:20:58,600
And how one man stepped on the
battlefield and everything
98
00:20:58,600 --> 00:20:59,600
changed.
Amen.
99
00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:02,700
And last week, man, going
through, Daniel in the Lion's
100
00:21:02,700 --> 00:21:05,300
Den.
Now one man marked by prayer and
101
00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:08,200
when a nation is against him,
praise to God.
102
00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:10,500
And not only leads a nation and
out of captivity.
103
00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:13,100
But the glory of God goes around
the world.
104
00:21:13,100 --> 00:21:15,700
Amen.
And so today, we've just woven
105
00:21:15,700 --> 00:21:17,900
through really kind of what it
takes to take off and take
106
00:21:17,900 --> 00:21:19,900
flight and to be fueled in the
air through prayer.
107
00:21:20,100 --> 00:21:22,100
And I want to talk about today,
something very specific.
108
00:21:22,300 --> 00:21:24,900
Something I think that just
where we're at in this series
109
00:21:25,100 --> 00:21:28,800
ruled the boldness to go to
somewhere that's Uncharted to
110
00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:32,200
break the limits of your
circumstance and really today as
111
00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:35,300
Christians to break the limits
of our current faith.
112
00:21:35,500 --> 00:21:37,500
And so they were going to talk
about is to be Uncharted.
113
00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:40,400
You think about people, we offer
are limited by voice.
114
00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:42,900
It's in our life, we've talked
about that but also limited by
115
00:21:42,900 --> 00:21:46,000
your own failures and learned by
our circumstances around us.
116
00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:49,600
And so I want to encourage you
really the list of people that
117
00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:52,300
you're going to recognize that
we're limited by circumstances,
118
00:21:52,300 --> 00:21:55,700
by their own failure by those
around them and broke through
119
00:21:55,700 --> 00:21:57,800
the limits.
And so, there's a few people,
120
00:21:57,800 --> 00:22:00,600
you might recognize the first
is, this is Beethoven, he was
121
00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:02,800
told by his music teacher,
that's composer.
122
00:22:02,900 --> 00:22:05,500
He had no hope for that person
was wrong.
123
00:22:05,500 --> 00:22:09,100
Right thing about Thomas Edison,
his high school teacher told me
124
00:22:09,100 --> 00:22:12,300
that he was so stupid.
The quote, he could not learn
125
00:22:12,300 --> 00:22:14,400
anything.
And they think about him after
126
00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:16,100
it really 10,000 times of
trying.
127
00:22:16,100 --> 00:22:18,200
He perfected the incandescent
light bulb.
128
00:22:18,300 --> 00:22:20,800
Hallelujah, amen.
Praise God, you know, changed
129
00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:22,700
our lives right now, fact.
I think about him.
130
00:22:22,700 --> 00:22:24,700
It's like maybe just too stupid
to quit on his dream.
131
00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:27,200
He's just too stupid to keep
going after it.
132
00:22:27,300 --> 00:22:30,400
Not to be defeated by somebody
else's voice in his life.
133
00:22:30,500 --> 00:22:32,100
You think about Walt Disney,
Kansas City?
134
00:22:32,100 --> 00:22:34,400
Come on somebody.
I know what editor said this to
135
00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:37,000
him of a newspaper, but he told
Walt Disney had quote.
136
00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:40,700
No good ideas, dude.
I know about you, but But
137
00:22:40,700 --> 00:22:43,300
there's probably none greater,
they had ideas and creation than
138
00:22:43,300 --> 00:22:46,300
Walt Disney himself.
You think about this Apollo
139
00:22:46,300 --> 00:22:49,100
missions that went to the moon,
the chief engineer for the
140
00:22:49,100 --> 00:22:50,800
politicians was Warner Von
Braun.
141
00:22:51,100 --> 00:22:54,200
And he had failed, ninth grade
algebra believe that he's
142
00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:55,700
probably bored.
Come on somebody, right?
143
00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:58,600
But he could have been defeated.
He could have given up.
144
00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:01,300
He could have been labeled a
failure, but instead he got back
145
00:23:01,300 --> 00:23:04,400
up and kept pursuing, I learn
this is pretty unique to Abraham
146
00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:06,500
Lincoln.
He lost 18 elections on his
147
00:23:06,500 --> 00:23:08,700
journey become president.
Now credible.
148
00:23:09,100 --> 00:23:11,300
I mean, I don't know about you
but I wouldn't go. 18 times.
149
00:23:11,300 --> 00:23:15,100
Come on right but just to get up
and go and just had a passion
150
00:23:15,100 --> 00:23:17,400
and a drive.
Drove him through all of these
151
00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:19,700
failures.
There's a little-known guy.
152
00:23:19,700 --> 00:23:21,800
You might know them if you're
into science and all but name's
153
00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:24,500
Louise pasture and he's a French
scientist.
154
00:23:24,500 --> 00:23:27,700
He came with the pasteurization
process is a famous for the
155
00:23:27,700 --> 00:23:30,300
father of microbiology and he
was told by his chemistry
156
00:23:30,300 --> 00:23:33,800
teacher in college that he was
mediocre at best at chemistry.
157
00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:37,400
I'm you think about these people
and all the voices that could
158
00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:40,300
have just gotten off track or
maybe their own failure?
159
00:23:40,500 --> 00:23:43,400
Or their own circumstance, but I
don't know about you and what
160
00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:46,500
your experience is, but by love
the incandescent light bulb.
161
00:23:46,500 --> 00:23:49,300
Come on somebody, I mean the
Fifth Symphony.
162
00:23:49,300 --> 00:23:50,900
Come on!
Some it dumb dumb dumb dumb that
163
00:23:50,900 --> 00:23:52,700
song probably came from when he
got that bad news.
164
00:23:52,700 --> 00:23:54,900
They can't do anything.
He's got motivated to write that
165
00:23:54,900 --> 00:23:56,400
song at that moment.
Right?
166
00:23:56,400 --> 00:23:57,800
You know I'm saying just like
that downtown to.
167
00:23:57,800 --> 00:23:59,500
Thank you.
Goodbye.
168
00:23:59,700 --> 00:24:02,800
I mean just amazing, right?
You think about the light bulb?
169
00:24:02,900 --> 00:24:05,100
I know, you know this but Thomas
Edison has became the founder
170
00:24:05,100 --> 00:24:08,300
and CEO of what you currently
know as General Electric.
171
00:24:08,700 --> 00:24:12,200
Thank God for GE that we Really
have the wherewithal and the
172
00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:13,700
median to live in this
generation.
173
00:24:13,700 --> 00:24:16,500
And how do we have?
I love most Disney movies.
174
00:24:16,500 --> 00:24:18,600
They've gotten kind of strange
literally lately.
175
00:24:19,900 --> 00:24:21,100
You haven't seen it?
That's okay.
176
00:24:21,700 --> 00:24:23,900
I know my kids they love
spending five thousand dollars
177
00:24:23,900 --> 00:24:26,000
or their parents money to go to
Disneyland and Disney World.
178
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:28,100
Come on, somebody all the
children said, amen.
179
00:24:28,100 --> 00:24:31,100
Praise God, you know, right?
I love space exploration.
180
00:24:31,100 --> 00:24:35,400
I love watching people and just
take Innovation and go into new
181
00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:38,900
boundaries and do limits and to
push beyond the status quo and
182
00:24:38,900 --> 00:24:40,400
to see what has been
accomplished his face.
183
00:24:40,500 --> 00:24:42,100
It's absolutely amazing.
I'm about you had less
184
00:24:42,100 --> 00:24:43,600
pasteurize milk.
Come on somebody.
185
00:24:43,700 --> 00:24:45,100
Hashtag Chateau.
Come on.
186
00:24:45,100 --> 00:24:46,900
Where's my Chateau people?
That's good.
187
00:24:46,900 --> 00:24:48,000
Just dying.
That's great.
188
00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:50,800
Yep.
It e granola woman over there.
189
00:24:51,300 --> 00:24:53,200
It's great you drive up and is
like what's that bot?
190
00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:55,200
Au.
Chateau people don't judge me.
191
00:24:55,200 --> 00:24:57,900
Come on somebody right.
Drop a diesel but we have
192
00:24:57,900 --> 00:25:00,700
Chateau, it's great but I will
tell you this year is your
193
00:25:00,700 --> 00:25:02,500
breakout year, but we got to
move beyond the limits for God.
194
00:25:02,500 --> 00:25:04,900
Amen.
We gotta move into Uncharted
195
00:25:04,900 --> 00:25:06,900
Territory.
I mean, we're not going to play
196
00:25:06,900 --> 00:25:09,800
it safe as Christians, you never
change the role by playing it
197
00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:11,800
safe.
Like we got to go to places that
198
00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:14,800
God is calling us to go.
We gotta move when other people
199
00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:16,700
say.
It's not possible when it's even
200
00:25:16,700 --> 00:25:19,100
beyond your own faith.
You've got to take another step
201
00:25:19,100 --> 00:25:19,900
of Faith.
Amen.
202
00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:23,900
When they say the fruit is out
on the limb, you've got to go
203
00:25:23,900 --> 00:25:26,300
where God is calling you to go.
Do you think the god of the
204
00:25:26,300 --> 00:25:31,100
universe created, you sent Jesus
to be crucified on the cross and
205
00:25:31,100 --> 00:25:35,200
saved you in Porter's, Holy
Spirit into, you generously to
206
00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:37,900
play it safe.
Do you think he wants to be
207
00:25:37,900 --> 00:25:40,100
limited by other people's
realities?
208
00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:43,700
Do you think he wants you to
stay comfortable or to move into
209
00:25:43,700 --> 00:25:47,100
the places that he has for you?
Here's what I know, one day.
210
00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:51,300
Your legacy will built on the
faith and the boundaries that
211
00:25:51,300 --> 00:25:53,700
you went into the one day.
People are going to thank God
212
00:25:53,700 --> 00:25:55,400
for you.
If you take the space of God's
213
00:25:55,400 --> 00:25:57,800
called you to take, if you take
the ground that God's called you
214
00:25:57,808 --> 00:25:59,500
to take, you think about your
life.
215
00:25:59,500 --> 00:26:02,800
I'm sure you're thankful for the
people that went before you that
216
00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:06,000
had enough Faith to tell you
about Jesus, amen.
217
00:26:06,300 --> 00:26:08,200
Cuz I'm sure it was awkward,
right?
218
00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:10,300
It was weird how it went down
the friends.
219
00:26:10,500 --> 00:26:12,700
Divide, your, maybe, your
parents are or whatever.
220
00:26:12,700 --> 00:26:14,900
Right?
I think about my story and just
221
00:26:14,900 --> 00:26:18,900
from a personal level thankful
for those in my life, the
222
00:26:18,900 --> 00:26:22,400
honored God by taking off work
on Sunday to show up and teach a
223
00:26:22,408 --> 00:26:27,300
nobody about somebody, come on
about Jesus and they cared for
224
00:26:27,300 --> 00:26:31,200
me and love me to Jesus.
And that was a talk about a
225
00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:36,400
youth group leader that has a
full-time job somewhere else.
226
00:26:36,700 --> 00:26:40,600
Working at his tail off in the
business world, but take Take
227
00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:42,900
time off to pour into somebody
like me.
228
00:26:43,100 --> 00:26:45,800
Now, there's nothing sexy about
serving in youth group.
229
00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:49,100
Come on somebody.
Yeah, I know you got some here,
230
00:26:49,100 --> 00:26:50,200
right?
And what do you tell your
231
00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:53,100
friends on Sunday night, right?
Hey, you wanna hang out?
232
00:26:53,100 --> 00:26:54,900
I know, man.
I'm like, got this, I'm going
233
00:26:54,900 --> 00:26:56,500
this youth group.
And I'm like, pulling his kids
234
00:26:56,500 --> 00:26:59,100
for Jesus like, okay, you know,
whatever man, right.
235
00:26:59,200 --> 00:27:01,500
I mean, it's just weird, right?
But the reality is, for those
236
00:27:01,500 --> 00:27:03,300
people.
Pour your life into the forever
237
00:27:03,300 --> 00:27:04,700
change for the kingdom of God,
Amen.
238
00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:09,300
It is going beyond the boundary.
It's abnormal for people to take
239
00:27:09,300 --> 00:27:12,000
time out of their life.
Give it to God, it is very
240
00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:14,500
abnormal but I believe people
can thank God for their fourth
241
00:27:14,500 --> 00:27:15,800
grade.
When you a call Sunday school,
242
00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:19,000
teacher or real-life kid leader
that when they look back and say
243
00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:21,100
thank you Miss Christy.
Thank you for those people who
244
00:27:21,100 --> 00:27:23,500
served for point in my life
because wasn't for you I
245
00:27:23,500 --> 00:27:25,300
wouldn't be here today.
There's so many you that have
246
00:27:25,300 --> 00:27:27,900
those stories, right?
I mean people can thank God for
247
00:27:27,900 --> 00:27:29,500
the Hope Center.
They got counseling and that
248
00:27:29,500 --> 00:27:32,500
freedom and they met adults that
love God and love them and
249
00:27:32,500 --> 00:27:34,400
they're forever changed as
teenagers because your youth
250
00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:36,000
groups going to meet there.
Amen.
251
00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:39,000
This was called by faith, not by
sight.
252
00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:41,400
It makes no sense on a fan.
Shal spreadsheet.
253
00:27:41,400 --> 00:27:43,300
There's a lot of better things
to do.
254
00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:45,700
They're all too busy to do
things, but the reality is, God
255
00:27:45,700 --> 00:27:50,900
is calling us to live by faith
and what we can't see in him.
256
00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:52,500
So, I wonder how Mr day would
leave here.
257
00:27:52,500 --> 00:27:55,200
And say, you know, I'll be bold,
I'm a breakthrough year, I'm
258
00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:57,100
going to do things that go
against the grain.
259
00:27:57,200 --> 00:27:58,800
I'm gonna move into uncharted
waters.
260
00:27:58,900 --> 00:28:01,200
I'm going to step out in faith.
That makes no sense that people
261
00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:03,700
around me, even my family and my
enemies.
262
00:28:03,700 --> 00:28:05,800
It makes no sense.
I'm going to follow God.
263
00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:08,300
Where is called me on, least
willing today to say yes to
264
00:28:08,300 --> 00:28:12,900
Jesus at every single level.
No longer limited by what they
265
00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:15,500
think of me or what if I mess
up.
266
00:28:15,500 --> 00:28:17,100
So, what if you mess up?
Come on somebody.
267
00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:19,900
You learn from your failure.
A man, I don't know what to say.
268
00:28:19,900 --> 00:28:21,500
You hear all the time, don't say
well, you will learn what to
269
00:28:21,500 --> 00:28:23,100
say, right?
You'll bar phone.
270
00:28:23,100 --> 00:28:25,700
Jesus out a little bit and then
you get better right on too
271
00:28:25,700 --> 00:28:27,300
busy.
It's like, do you got different
272
00:28:27,300 --> 00:28:29,400
values?
You're not too busy to leave the
273
00:28:29,400 --> 00:28:31,500
cause of Christ.
I've never done that before.
274
00:28:31,900 --> 00:28:33,000
No.
No, you're going to learn some
275
00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:34,000
new ways to do it.
Amen.
276
00:28:34,200 --> 00:28:35,800
We're gonna try some new things
this year.
277
00:28:36,100 --> 00:28:37,300
Well, maybe when the kids leave
home?
278
00:28:37,300 --> 00:28:39,900
No, no, they need it now a
couple days ago.
279
00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:42,600
My daughter.
She's four years old and she
280
00:28:42,600 --> 00:28:44,900
wanted to see mommy's wedding
dress because they pulled the
281
00:28:44,908 --> 00:28:46,900
box out because we've warned
that so many times, right?
282
00:28:46,900 --> 00:28:49,000
Essence that they end up.
So they pulled the box out and
283
00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:51,300
go get some pictures and so
Diane gets to the wedding book
284
00:28:51,300 --> 00:28:53,400
and, you know, dust that thing
off, right?
285
00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:55,400
And so, flip through the
pictures and you're seeing all
286
00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:57,300
these memories in a room and
listening and just sharing
287
00:28:57,300 --> 00:29:00,000
stories and all this and no.
And I just be real honest with
288
00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:02,700
you.
We aren't getting any younger.
289
00:29:03,300 --> 00:29:05,200
Come on, somebody.
Have you gone back to your
290
00:29:05,208 --> 00:29:10,200
wedding pictures recently now,
Diane she's exception.
291
00:29:10,500 --> 00:29:13,000
Also about it right but we're
not getting any younger I'm like
292
00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:15,200
wow.
Okay and we got to move in a
293
00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:18,100
direction.
We have lived by faith.
294
00:29:18,100 --> 00:29:20,700
You know, it's been 15 years
since that day and a lots
295
00:29:20,700 --> 00:29:23,200
changed, you know?
I don't know you skipped like
296
00:29:23,500 --> 00:29:26,000
pant sizes and those years, you
know I'm saying, like just I'll
297
00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:28,300
know you go from like, 32 up.
It's just, there's not even
298
00:29:28,500 --> 00:29:30,600
whatever, right?
Just what happens, we're not
299
00:29:30,600 --> 00:29:32,800
getting younger, but the reality
is this, and I truly believe
300
00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:36,200
this, that so many of us are
limited by fear or limb by
301
00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:40,500
circumstance or limited by our
very faith that we almost Can
302
00:29:40,500 --> 00:29:44,200
limit the work of God and the
kingdom of God into extinction
303
00:29:44,300 --> 00:29:49,900
by delaying and deferring, the
mission that God has for us.
304
00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:55,200
You think about it.
If it's not us then who who who
305
00:29:55,200 --> 00:29:58,900
will carry the mantle of the
cause of Christ forward in our
306
00:29:59,300 --> 00:30:01,400
generation.
So I'm going to damn is zoom in
307
00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:03,300
and it's give you awesome
because we resume in the Hall of
308
00:30:03,300 --> 00:30:06,400
Fame of Faith, Hebrews 11, if
you're not familiar going to get
309
00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:08,400
familiar.
I mean this, this is just as
310
00:30:08,400 --> 00:30:11,600
like the the Medal of Honor
First, you know, the Purple
311
00:30:11,600 --> 00:30:13,900
Heart.
This is it like this is like the
312
00:30:13,900 --> 00:30:18,000
men and women that led the way
of ancient times with faith.
313
00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:21,000
And so I'll do a day, is this
invite you guys to invite God to
314
00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:23,300
speaking to you today.
So you guys can put your hands
315
00:30:23,300 --> 00:30:25,200
out be doing this through the
series just to get in the
316
00:30:25,208 --> 00:30:27,900
presence of God knows going to
pray over you and to invite God
317
00:30:27,900 --> 00:30:30,600
to speak into your life.
Father, we come before you and I
318
00:30:30,600 --> 00:30:32,300
pray you speak a word in to us
today.
319
00:30:32,300 --> 00:30:37,300
God, that we live by bold faith.
God, if you replace fear in our
320
00:30:37,300 --> 00:30:42,200
hearts your place the temporary,
the sir From Stan's the voices,
321
00:30:42,400 --> 00:30:44,900
with the Eternal, with the
Unseen.
322
00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:49,000
And today we live by faith.
Not by sight.
323
00:30:49,100 --> 00:30:52,600
Not by fear, not by worry, not
by yield now my own
324
00:30:52,600 --> 00:30:54,500
righteousness.
God, but we just step-by-step
325
00:30:54,500 --> 00:30:56,100
follow you.
So you got speak to us.
326
00:30:56,400 --> 00:30:58,900
God, you're surfing is here.
So speak got here.
327
00:30:58,900 --> 00:31:01,200
My send me got wherever you call
me to go.
328
00:31:01,200 --> 00:31:04,500
I'm willing to go and I pray
this in Jesus name and the
329
00:31:04,500 --> 00:31:07,600
church said, amen.
And so, we're going to dive in
330
00:31:07,608 --> 00:31:10,800
the Hall of Fame of faith and
really there's so many Lessons
331
00:31:10,800 --> 00:31:12,600
of faith in here.
I mean obviously we're not going
332
00:31:12,600 --> 00:31:15,900
to be able to go deep dive on
all these but I encourage you,
333
00:31:16,100 --> 00:31:18,300
if you're looking for a word
that's going to speak to your
334
00:31:18,300 --> 00:31:21,600
heart man get into Hebrews. 11
will jump in and verse 1 says
335
00:31:21,600 --> 00:31:24,500
this.
Now, Faith is the confidence of
336
00:31:24,500 --> 00:31:28,300
the word confidence is simply
trust in what we hope for and
337
00:31:28,300 --> 00:31:31,500
Assurance, this insurance is a
positive belief, it's an
338
00:31:31,500 --> 00:31:34,000
affirmation vote and all the
things of God.
339
00:31:34,100 --> 00:31:36,900
And so now Faith is confidence
will hope for and Assurance
340
00:31:36,900 --> 00:31:40,200
about, we have not seen, this is
what the Ancients to talk.
341
00:31:40,300 --> 00:31:43,800
About the Ancients of Faith were
commended for this is what these
342
00:31:43,800 --> 00:31:46,300
ancients were praised for.
When you got done, the end of
343
00:31:46,308 --> 00:31:48,600
the race when you're going
through the Gates of Heaven is
344
00:31:48,600 --> 00:31:50,700
like, man, this is it.
You're a big Faith.
345
00:31:50,700 --> 00:31:51,900
This is why they were plotted
this.
346
00:31:51,900 --> 00:31:53,800
Why they're saluted?
This is why they got the Medal
347
00:31:53,800 --> 00:31:55,500
of Honor.
This was it.
348
00:31:55,500 --> 00:31:59,300
They live by faith and so they
were going to see the story of
349
00:31:59,300 --> 00:32:02,000
all these ancients woven
together and rule the gold day
350
00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:03,600
is not to get Faith into your
head.
351
00:32:03,700 --> 00:32:06,200
The goal today is get Faith.
Great faith.
352
00:32:06,400 --> 00:32:08,500
Mountain-moving faith into our
hearts, amen.
353
00:32:09,100 --> 00:32:11,900
There's a lot of many There's
not a lot of people have great
354
00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:15,300
faith and so you can see over
this chapter is going to be 23
355
00:32:15,300 --> 00:32:18,600
times and it's more but just the
phrase by Faith by Faith, by
356
00:32:18,600 --> 00:32:20,400
faith.
This person that person, this
357
00:32:20,400 --> 00:32:23,600
person that person there's more
stories of faith and the 23, but
358
00:32:23,600 --> 00:32:26,800
says this in verse 3, it says by
faith, we understand that the
359
00:32:26,800 --> 00:32:31,500
Universe was formed at what
helped me out at I God's
360
00:32:31,500 --> 00:32:34,900
commands by faith, we believe we
didn't come out of some some
361
00:32:34,900 --> 00:32:38,400
premortal sludge that it wasn't
an accident or just happened
362
00:32:38,400 --> 00:32:41,100
chance or some evolutionary
moment of time.
363
00:32:41,200 --> 00:32:45,900
But by faith we believe that God
commanded he spoke the universe
364
00:32:45,900 --> 00:32:48,300
into existence.
Now by happened chance and so
365
00:32:48,300 --> 00:32:51,500
that what was seen was not made
out of what is visible.
366
00:32:51,700 --> 00:32:54,400
I love this, when God decided to
create the universe to create
367
00:32:54,400 --> 00:32:58,100
the cosmos when God decided to
create everything we know and
368
00:32:58,100 --> 00:33:03,200
see and look at he simply Lee
spoke it into existence.
369
00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:07,100
A men, who knows when God speaks
Everything Changes, like I don't
370
00:33:07,100 --> 00:33:10,600
limit the voice of God to you.
I mean if God says left, it just
371
00:33:10,600 --> 00:33:12,800
turns left, he says, stars are
stars his light.
372
00:33:12,900 --> 00:33:15,400
He says see he says, oh she says
land, boom.
373
00:33:15,500 --> 00:33:16,900
It is something very specific
for us though.
374
00:33:16,900 --> 00:33:19,600
He formed us out dirt and
intimate, formed us, and gave us
375
00:33:19,800 --> 00:33:22,300
a living soul.
And that's why we're the only
376
00:33:22,300 --> 00:33:24,700
thing create an image of God and
we know God, there's a
377
00:33:24,700 --> 00:33:26,400
god-shaped hole in each of Our
Lives.
378
00:33:26,600 --> 00:33:30,300
The only God can fill separates
us from all rest of creation.
379
00:33:30,600 --> 00:33:34,400
Verse 4 says this by faith Abel
brought got a better offer than
380
00:33:34,400 --> 00:33:37,500
Cain did by faith.
He was commended, he was
381
00:33:37,500 --> 00:33:42,000
applauded as a righteous when
God spoke well of his offering
382
00:33:42,300 --> 00:33:44,500
maybe even a real story of Cain
and Abel is the second
383
00:33:44,500 --> 00:33:47,300
generation of humanity and
enables bringing a better
384
00:33:47,300 --> 00:33:50,700
offering to God than Cain is
able to his first Roots.
385
00:33:50,700 --> 00:33:53,700
Remember that he took his the
first of the flocks to give the
386
00:33:53,700 --> 00:33:56,800
very best to God and Kane.
He decided to give God his
387
00:33:56,800 --> 00:34:00,200
leftovers, but Abel was being
commended and came became very
388
00:34:00,200 --> 00:34:01,900
jealous.
Ellis and says this, and by
389
00:34:01,900 --> 00:34:05,900
faith Abel still speaks even
though he's dead, this is an
390
00:34:05,900 --> 00:34:07,200
amazing verse because you read
this.
391
00:34:07,200 --> 00:34:09,600
Like what in the world is this?
Talk about that able still
392
00:34:09,600 --> 00:34:13,600
speaking today to happened.
That story is King got jealousy,
393
00:34:13,600 --> 00:34:17,400
met a ball on the field and he
killed, he took Abel out and he
394
00:34:17,400 --> 00:34:19,400
killed him and his blood was
shed in Outfield.
395
00:34:19,500 --> 00:34:22,300
And it says this in Genesis
4:10, it says the Lord said to
396
00:34:22,300 --> 00:34:26,500
Cain, what have you done?
Listen, your brother's blood
397
00:34:26,500 --> 00:34:31,900
cries out to me from the ground.
Now, I love this verse because
398
00:34:31,900 --> 00:34:34,800
what's happened is that even
though able is dead, which by
399
00:34:34,800 --> 00:34:36,800
the way, he's the first martyr
for God.
400
00:34:37,100 --> 00:34:39,600
Amen is very interesting to
think about, but it was the
401
00:34:39,600 --> 00:34:42,000
second generation that the first
martyr, because Abel's, living
402
00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:45,500
by faith and was killed for his
faith because he pleased God.
403
00:34:45,699 --> 00:34:48,900
And so, his blood is crying out.
It's crying out for against
404
00:34:48,900 --> 00:34:53,900
Justice against sin and God of
all God hears, the voice of
405
00:34:53,900 --> 00:34:57,100
Abel's blood is crying out.
Even speaking till today.
406
00:34:57,400 --> 00:34:59,600
Now, what's amazing about this
is even if you die for your
407
00:34:59,600 --> 00:35:01,800
faith.
I know we're going heavy, right?
408
00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:04,800
But if you had died for your
faith, that got that the world
409
00:35:04,800 --> 00:35:09,000
may Kill the Messenger, but the
message lives on, Amen.
410
00:35:09,600 --> 00:35:13,300
There's a reason they call it
the voice of the martyrs because
411
00:35:13,300 --> 00:35:17,100
the blood still speaks Justice.
And I think about the second
412
00:35:17,100 --> 00:35:21,100
generation is still crying out
to God for justice against sin,
413
00:35:21,300 --> 00:35:22,500
and, and there's a great
parallel.
414
00:35:22,500 --> 00:35:25,300
We're not gonna be able to get
into it today, but God, but
415
00:35:25,300 --> 00:35:27,900
Jesus blood speaks a better word
v, read Hebrews, 13.
416
00:35:27,900 --> 00:35:30,300
You're going to enjoy that.
And we may get to that in our
417
00:35:30,600 --> 00:35:34,900
It's the series right Easter,
but it's amazing to see how
418
00:35:34,900 --> 00:35:38,900
faith of able led to his voice.
Still speaking long, past his
419
00:35:38,900 --> 00:35:42,800
life and the Legacy, we leave is
really built on the foundation
420
00:35:42,800 --> 00:35:45,000
of faith that we live in every
single day.
421
00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:47,500
We make that choice.
Hebrews 11:5 says, this by
422
00:35:47,500 --> 00:35:50,600
faith, Enoch was taken from this
life.
423
00:35:50,700 --> 00:35:53,800
So he did not experience death,
he could not be found.
424
00:35:53,800 --> 00:35:55,800
I love that.
This is the way to go right here
425
00:35:56,100 --> 00:35:59,500
because God had taken him away.
Now, I know if you're familiar
426
00:35:59,500 --> 00:36:02,600
with this story, there's two
different times in the Bible,
427
00:36:02,800 --> 00:36:04,700
where somebody doesn't die,
there's taken straight to
428
00:36:04,700 --> 00:36:06,700
heaven.
And so Enoch is says in these
429
00:36:06,700 --> 00:36:10,100
translated to heaven, and he's
just gone, and he's just
430
00:36:10,100 --> 00:36:11,400
amazing.
And I know, you know, Elijah
431
00:36:11,400 --> 00:36:12,900
story, right?
Like that Chariot of fire like
432
00:36:12,900 --> 00:36:14,600
rides up.
That's the way to exit.
433
00:36:14,600 --> 00:36:17,200
Amen.
That's the way to go, just skip
434
00:36:17,200 --> 00:36:20,300
the whole process, get the view,
the world been cruising out to
435
00:36:20,300 --> 00:36:21,800
Heaven.
I mean, this is it.
436
00:36:21,800 --> 00:36:25,600
So Enoch, he looks so much like
heaven that he wasn't worthy to
437
00:36:25,600 --> 00:36:28,500
live on earth anymore.
That's what it means to live by
438
00:36:28,500 --> 00:36:29,300
faith.
Amen.
439
00:36:29,900 --> 00:36:31,600
I'm yes, sir.
Much of God in you.
440
00:36:31,600 --> 00:36:33,900
That guy was like, it's time to
come home now.
441
00:36:33,900 --> 00:36:36,100
I think that should be, we
should be the generation of the
442
00:36:36,107 --> 00:36:37,200
Chariot of fire.
Amen.
443
00:36:37,700 --> 00:36:39,900
We should be the generation that
God says, send down some
444
00:36:39,900 --> 00:36:42,400
chariots for those boys, because
they've been living by faith so
445
00:36:42,400 --> 00:36:43,800
much.
Let's go and take him up to
446
00:36:43,800 --> 00:36:46,200
heaven because we're Earth is
even worthy of them.
447
00:36:46,400 --> 00:36:50,000
Get ahead of myself.
But man, I really am.
448
00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:52,400
But I'm telling you living by
faith.
449
00:36:52,500 --> 00:36:55,600
And then there he says this for
he was taken, he was commended
450
00:36:55,600 --> 00:36:57,900
his applauded.
You saluted as one who pleased
451
00:36:57,900 --> 00:37:00,300
God made the greatest honor, we
get to have.
452
00:37:00,400 --> 00:37:02,500
In this life is to please God.
Amen.
453
00:37:02,800 --> 00:37:05,100
Not to police people.
People always gonna be able to
454
00:37:05,107 --> 00:37:06,800
share with you if they're not
upset with you.
455
00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:08,900
Then you part of the problem.
Come on somebody.
456
00:37:09,300 --> 00:37:11,000
It's true.
You're pushing uphill.
457
00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:13,600
You live in a fallen culture,
you live under a Fallen Kingdom
458
00:37:13,600 --> 00:37:15,600
but we serve the king.
And so we move forward in a
459
00:37:15,600 --> 00:37:17,100
direction.
God is calling us to go.
460
00:37:17,400 --> 00:37:19,400
He was letting 6 and this is the
first you got to put in your
461
00:37:19,400 --> 00:37:21,500
heart.
This is really the disgrace of
462
00:37:21,508 --> 00:37:23,300
scripture.
The faith it says without faith,
463
00:37:23,300 --> 00:37:28,000
it is what it is.
It's impossible to please God,
464
00:37:28,200 --> 00:37:31,000
what that's saying is no matter
what you do, no matter what you
465
00:37:31,008 --> 00:37:34,000
accumulate and my what you buy,
then what you give the church,
466
00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:36,800
how much you read the Bible?
Now about you, you pray or how
467
00:37:36,800 --> 00:37:40,500
much you come or whatever you do
in life is all secondary.
468
00:37:40,700 --> 00:37:44,200
Could never please God compared
to your faith.
469
00:37:44,500 --> 00:37:46,300
And so they good question is,
where is your faith?
470
00:37:46,300 --> 00:37:50,500
That adds, how much is God,
pleased by your faith, says
471
00:37:50,500 --> 00:37:52,600
this, because anyone who comes
to him, must believe that he
472
00:37:52,600 --> 00:37:57,300
exists and that he rewards those
who Earnestly seek him.
473
00:37:57,600 --> 00:37:59,500
I think my earnestly seek Him,
man.
474
00:37:59,500 --> 00:38:02,400
That's like intense conviction.
It's like when you open the
475
00:38:02,400 --> 00:38:05,000
Bible and start reading it and
you're like, this is so true.
476
00:38:05,100 --> 00:38:08,200
Come on, speak to me.
God, yes, that's good.
477
00:38:08,300 --> 00:38:10,600
I'm gonna follow that and it
doesn't just transform your
478
00:38:10,600 --> 00:38:12,600
mind.
It transforms your life, it
479
00:38:12,607 --> 00:38:15,700
transforms your heart because
you are trusting Jesus, because
480
00:38:15,700 --> 00:38:17,400
he is faithful.
Amen.
481
00:38:17,900 --> 00:38:20,000
And so those who come by faith,
please God.
482
00:38:20,000 --> 00:38:21,700
And so you may be wondering
like, man, why don't I get off
483
00:38:21,700 --> 00:38:23,300
the ground?
It may be because you've been
484
00:38:23,300 --> 00:38:25,100
doing it your own power and your
own strength.
485
00:38:25,300 --> 00:38:28,500
And your own will but you need
to live in the faith of God.
486
00:38:28,600 --> 00:38:30,800
I'll say this, there's a huge
difference between faith and
487
00:38:30,800 --> 00:38:33,400
belief.
You think about a smoker right?
488
00:38:33,600 --> 00:38:36,600
Habitual smoker?
We all know we all know, we've
489
00:38:36,600 --> 00:38:38,200
been told a million times.
It's on the box.
490
00:38:38,200 --> 00:38:41,300
I mean these are ads campaigns
against this right, the whole
491
00:38:41,300 --> 00:38:43,000
world used to smoke.
You watch old Disney, movies,
492
00:38:43,000 --> 00:38:45,000
everybody smoking?
Pinocchio, come on somebody,
493
00:38:45,100 --> 00:38:46,700
right?
I mean, just what I once
494
00:38:46,700 --> 00:38:49,300
ashtrays and the planes, you
know, I mean, just like all the
495
00:38:49,300 --> 00:38:51,100
things, right?
But the whole world knows, you
496
00:38:51,100 --> 00:38:55,200
know, it's unhealthy to smoke,
it can cause death we.
497
00:38:55,300 --> 00:38:58,300
Know that people believe that
their stand that, but most
498
00:38:58,300 --> 00:39:01,100
people continue in that habit.
If there'd been that habit,
499
00:39:01,100 --> 00:39:02,600
right?
Like, they know better, you have
500
00:39:02,600 --> 00:39:04,300
family members of people, maybe
it's yourself.
501
00:39:04,300 --> 00:39:07,400
Like, I've been trying to quit
like, you know it but the faith
502
00:39:07,400 --> 00:39:10,600
is the action part of it, right?
I mean, think about the demons,
503
00:39:10,600 --> 00:39:13,400
they believe.
I mean, they tremble, they
504
00:39:13,400 --> 00:39:16,300
understand I'm the I'm wrong,
but they don't have any faith.
505
00:39:16,900 --> 00:39:20,900
They'll follow God, they didn't
change their allegiance, it
506
00:39:20,900 --> 00:39:23,400
didn't move them to other side
of the equation.
507
00:39:23,700 --> 00:39:26,500
And so belief and Faith are A
little different like you can
508
00:39:26,500 --> 00:39:27,700
believe something, but do you
have the faith?
509
00:39:27,700 --> 00:39:30,200
Did you have a bead Ian's?
Are you willing to put your
510
00:39:30,200 --> 00:39:32,300
money where your mouth is?
Come on somebody.
511
00:39:32,800 --> 00:39:35,500
You want to walk the walk, not
just say the talk, right?
512
00:39:35,700 --> 00:39:37,200
And so you want to please God
below.
513
00:39:37,200 --> 00:39:39,200
If you limit, you gotta live by
faith, you get a journalist
514
00:39:39,200 --> 00:39:41,000
earnestly seek God.
That means when you read the
515
00:39:41,008 --> 00:39:43,000
word of God, like, dude, this is
so true.
516
00:39:43,100 --> 00:39:44,900
It doesn't matter.
Whatever else is thinking, this
517
00:39:44,900 --> 00:39:46,200
is the way God has called me to
go.
518
00:39:46,300 --> 00:39:48,900
It means that we are so
passionate about God because the
519
00:39:48,900 --> 00:39:51,600
spirit God your life and say,
hey God told me you some of us
520
00:39:51,607 --> 00:39:53,700
got say no to people.
So I love you.
521
00:39:54,100 --> 00:39:56,500
I do love you.
You'll feel that way, right?
522
00:39:56,500 --> 00:39:59,700
I love you, but I'm going to
follow God's voice on this one.
523
00:40:00,300 --> 00:40:01,800
That's how we rise up.
Amen.
524
00:40:02,400 --> 00:40:05,000
You gotta go against the culture
if everybody agrees with you.
525
00:40:05,000 --> 00:40:07,100
That looks like the world did.
You probably should be doing
526
00:40:07,100 --> 00:40:09,900
something a little different and
you go to God, you take a blank
527
00:40:09,900 --> 00:40:12,500
piece of paper and you sign name
at the bottom say Okay, God,
528
00:40:12,500 --> 00:40:15,000
whatever you put on it.
I'm going to go over boundary
529
00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:18,100
after cross over charred
territory, God's not call you to
530
00:40:18,100 --> 00:40:20,300
play it.
Safe, kind of tell you that.
531
00:40:20,300 --> 00:40:23,100
God not call you to be in the
comfort zone of life.
532
00:40:23,300 --> 00:40:25,100
He didn't call it a float.
I was said dead.
533
00:40:25,200 --> 00:40:26,900
Fish flows Downstream.
Come on, somebody.
534
00:40:27,100 --> 00:40:29,700
You don't have to do anything to
flow along with the world that
535
00:40:29,700 --> 00:40:32,400
God has called us to be
countercultural by faith.
536
00:40:32,400 --> 00:40:34,200
Amen.
Some of y'all, look at your
537
00:40:34,200 --> 00:40:36,700
family's like dude, I got to be
that guy for my family.
538
00:40:36,900 --> 00:40:39,100
Like I'd be the generational
change, it was for me and my
539
00:40:39,100 --> 00:40:41,500
house, I love you all.
Mama serve the Lord, amen.
540
00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:43,900
So I'm going to go right?
I know you left.
541
00:40:43,900 --> 00:40:46,000
I'm going right.
All right, I'm gonna, I'm gonna
542
00:40:46,000 --> 00:40:48,000
follow God with this.
I'm going to take that that
543
00:40:48,000 --> 00:40:49,700
step.
So we don't be friends, but the
544
00:40:49,700 --> 00:40:52,500
reality is only follow Jesus.
Verse 7, says, it's by faith.
545
00:40:52,500 --> 00:40:56,700
Noah we warned about things.
Not yet seen it never rained
546
00:40:56,700 --> 00:40:58,300
before.
Noah built a boat.
547
00:40:58,400 --> 00:41:00,700
Come on somebody.
That's awkward a, right?
548
00:41:00,700 --> 00:41:02,900
The whole years you're building
up about like, what is going on,
549
00:41:02,900 --> 00:41:04,700
it's going to rain.
So what in the would talk about
550
00:41:04,700 --> 00:41:08,900
it says in what helped me out
and what in Holy fear?
551
00:41:09,300 --> 00:41:11,700
Yeah, that's that's what that's
how you go to God, right.
552
00:41:12,200 --> 00:41:15,700
Fear God not man, right?
And holy reverence like okay the
553
00:41:15,700 --> 00:41:19,400
word of God says God speaking to
me, I'm going to take it with
554
00:41:19,400 --> 00:41:21,300
him.
I'll put all in on Jesus.
555
00:41:21,300 --> 00:41:24,400
I'm like, I'm like Nitro Circus
done thinking, right?
556
00:41:24,700 --> 00:41:27,300
You, you're going for you taking
the jump, you're taking a leap,
557
00:41:27,300 --> 00:41:29,400
that's what faith is.
It's trusting, if I sit on the
558
00:41:29,400 --> 00:41:32,600
stool, I trust the fact that's
going to hold me and when Jesus
559
00:41:32,600 --> 00:41:34,600
says, just we need to do, I'm
just gonna trust the fact that's
560
00:41:34,600 --> 00:41:35,800
going to happen.
Who knows?
561
00:41:35,800 --> 00:41:37,100
God's promise is always come
true.
562
00:41:37,700 --> 00:41:40,000
Amen.
It's never, he's faithful and
563
00:41:40,000 --> 00:41:41,000
true.
If he says it it's going to
564
00:41:41,008 --> 00:41:43,400
happen is we got speaks a word
into your life.
565
00:41:43,400 --> 00:41:45,800
I've got nudges, you had
rection, don't be afraid of
566
00:41:45,808 --> 00:41:49,900
failing, be afraid to stay in
the same, you know, because
567
00:41:49,900 --> 00:41:51,800
God's in it and he's in a he
want he wants to see you
568
00:41:51,800 --> 00:41:53,900
through.
He says by faith and holy fear,
569
00:41:53,900 --> 00:41:56,500
he built an ark to save his
family and by faith, he
570
00:41:56,500 --> 00:41:59,000
condemned the world and became
heir of righteousness.
571
00:41:59,400 --> 00:42:01,100
You see a comparison between
faith and righteousness.
572
00:42:01,100 --> 00:42:05,200
Here all the time, doesn't
keeping with the Faith by faith
573
00:42:05,200 --> 00:42:07,000
Abraham.
And this is a boy to study right
574
00:42:07,000 --> 00:42:09,400
here.
By faith Abraham, when called to
575
00:42:09,400 --> 00:42:11,300
go to a place.
He would later receive as
576
00:42:11,300 --> 00:42:15,700
inheritance obeyed and went even
though help me out, he did not
577
00:42:15,700 --> 00:42:19,700
know where he was going.
I love this.
578
00:42:19,700 --> 00:42:21,600
This is maybe the greatest
picture of faith.
579
00:42:21,600 --> 00:42:23,800
I mean, you have this.
Basically God goes to Abraham
580
00:42:23,800 --> 00:42:25,900
and says, hey, I'm gonna make a
great nation of you and he says,
581
00:42:25,900 --> 00:42:28,100
you're gonna leave the Earth of
the Chaldeans and you're gonna
582
00:42:28,100 --> 00:42:30,800
go to a place that I will
eventually show you.
583
00:42:30,900 --> 00:42:34,300
This man is extremely wealthy
has extreme livestock.
584
00:42:34,300 --> 00:42:36,400
All these things packs, his
family up intense.
585
00:42:36,500 --> 00:42:39,400
He starts going Going not even
knowing the destination.
586
00:42:39,500 --> 00:42:42,900
None of you got in the car ever
in your life maybe once right.
587
00:42:43,100 --> 00:42:45,600
And didn't know where you're
going to go you know you knew
588
00:42:45,600 --> 00:42:47,000
for sure.
You're going to Big Daddy Donuts
589
00:42:47,000 --> 00:42:48,700
to.
Come on somebody, you knew for
590
00:42:48,700 --> 00:42:50,400
sure you're going to go to the
scooters.
591
00:42:50,600 --> 00:42:51,900
But for him is like, I don't
know.
592
00:42:51,900 --> 00:42:55,400
God, let's just start on this
path together and by faith.
593
00:42:55,400 --> 00:42:57,900
He packed his stuff up and went
and obeyed.
594
00:42:58,000 --> 00:42:59,600
God.
He moved outside, the
595
00:42:59,600 --> 00:43:01,300
comfortable.
I mean, in other words, he went
596
00:43:01,300 --> 00:43:03,500
past the reef.
Come on somebody, right?
597
00:43:03,600 --> 00:43:05,300
He moved Beyond Moana movement,
right?
598
00:43:05,300 --> 00:43:07,300
Like I'm the pursue out the
distance.
599
00:43:07,500 --> 00:43:09,500
And go, where God has called me
to go?
600
00:43:09,700 --> 00:43:12,600
Can I tell you today?
There's no military issue.
601
00:43:12,700 --> 00:43:16,400
Lazy Boy recliner 's.
Come on somebody, you'll join
602
00:43:16,400 --> 00:43:18,600
the kingdom of God and get
comfortable.
603
00:43:18,800 --> 00:43:21,600
You don't get the front line in
a trench and expect it to be
604
00:43:21,600 --> 00:43:23,700
easy.
When you take the ground that
605
00:43:23,700 --> 00:43:26,100
you need to take in your life,
the ground that God's called you
606
00:43:26,100 --> 00:43:28,800
to take.
It is a difficult Journey, like
607
00:43:28,800 --> 00:43:33,500
self crucifixion, self-emptying
self-denial, losing yourself,
608
00:43:33,500 --> 00:43:35,800
emptying yourself to go back to
Jeremy Camp.
609
00:43:35,800 --> 00:43:40,000
Look at album called, T, his
wife died of cancer and he wrote
610
00:43:40,000 --> 00:43:43,500
this whole album of just
Brokenness of crying out to God.
611
00:43:43,600 --> 00:43:45,700
We got to the point of life,
which is no longer about our
612
00:43:45,700 --> 00:43:49,700
ability or inability, but as
about his ability, amen.
613
00:43:50,100 --> 00:43:52,600
And so we just follow God by
faith.
614
00:43:52,700 --> 00:43:55,100
There's nothing to do about you.
And then you're going to find,
615
00:43:55,100 --> 00:43:57,700
there's enough of God in you, to
be the person that God has
616
00:43:57,700 --> 00:44:00,400
called you to be.
It's not your ability.
617
00:44:00,800 --> 00:44:03,700
And so it says this verse 9 by
faith, this is Abraham.
618
00:44:03,800 --> 00:44:07,600
He made his home in the promised
land like a stranger and One
619
00:44:07,600 --> 00:44:11,500
country, he lived in tents as an
Isaac and Jacob who were heirs
620
00:44:11,500 --> 00:44:14,300
with him from the same of the
same promise.
621
00:44:14,400 --> 00:44:15,700
I love this.
That boy didn't even build
622
00:44:15,700 --> 00:44:16,900
houses.
Come on somebody.
623
00:44:17,100 --> 00:44:18,600
I mean this world was so temper
for him.
624
00:44:18,700 --> 00:44:21,100
He has put a tent up.
It was like well I'm just gonna
625
00:44:21,100 --> 00:44:22,900
pass through.
I'm not going to call this home.
626
00:44:22,900 --> 00:44:25,700
I'm not going to get too
grounded or too concerned about
627
00:44:25,700 --> 00:44:28,000
the things this world because
I'm just passing through this
628
00:44:28,000 --> 00:44:30,700
foreign territory goes on the
say.
629
00:44:30,700 --> 00:44:33,500
This says for he was looking
forward.
630
00:44:33,600 --> 00:44:37,600
I love this to the city with
fountains whose architect Act
631
00:44:37,600 --> 00:44:41,400
and Builder is God.
He knew he wasn't home until he
632
00:44:41,400 --> 00:44:44,800
saw those beautiful fountains
and glory and the city that was
633
00:44:44,800 --> 00:44:47,700
built by Jesus.
Whose architect was God.
634
00:44:47,700 --> 00:44:50,200
He said, this is my home.
Amen.
635
00:44:50,600 --> 00:44:53,100
And maybe the problem was so
much of our culture and maybe
636
00:44:53,200 --> 00:44:56,500
cultural Christianity is that we
forgotten that this world is not
637
00:44:56,500 --> 00:44:59,600
our home.
We are consumed about making
638
00:44:59,600 --> 00:45:02,500
this world so comfortable, they
were forgotten the fact that
639
00:45:02,500 --> 00:45:04,700
it's not called to be
comfortable that we will later
640
00:45:04,700 --> 00:45:08,500
head down one day in glory with
amazing fountains and fruit from
641
00:45:08,500 --> 00:45:10,400
the tree.
Come on somebody with those of
642
00:45:10,408 --> 00:45:12,700
the love Jesus and family and
friends.
643
00:45:12,700 --> 00:45:15,100
And then we take a rest.
But on this side of Eternity, we
644
00:45:15,107 --> 00:45:18,500
were called to live as
foreigners in a Strange Land by
645
00:45:18,500 --> 00:45:20,600
faith and by faith.
Even Sarah.
646
00:45:20,600 --> 00:45:24,300
This is his wife who was past
childbearing age, was in able to
647
00:45:24,300 --> 00:45:27,000
Bear children because she
considered him a love this time
648
00:45:27,000 --> 00:45:29,800
of God.
Faithful, who had made the
649
00:45:29,800 --> 00:45:32,400
promise, if you look at Jesus
and he's calling to do
650
00:45:32,400 --> 00:45:34,200
something, he will, he will make
a way.
651
00:45:34,200 --> 00:45:36,000
Amen.
Even we don't feel like you have
652
00:45:36,000 --> 00:45:37,700
a way.
It doesn't make sense.
653
00:45:37,700 --> 00:45:39,500
You don't have enough money.
You're not prepared.
654
00:45:39,500 --> 00:45:42,700
You don't have a plan.
It's not, you don't feel like
655
00:45:42,700 --> 00:45:47,300
you have the resourcing, you
don't have enough in you, God
656
00:45:47,300 --> 00:45:50,500
Will Make A Way every single
time, because it's God, Amen.
657
00:45:51,000 --> 00:45:54,300
That's just what he does.
And so from this one, man,
658
00:45:54,300 --> 00:45:57,800
Abraham and he is good as dead
in his old age.
659
00:45:58,100 --> 00:46:00,400
Kim descendants.
As numerous as the Stars the sky
660
00:46:00,500 --> 00:46:03,300
as countless as a sand of the
seashore.
661
00:46:03,500 --> 00:46:05,700
Now I know about this but
Abraham died, had a nation, a
662
00:46:05,700 --> 00:46:08,300
great nation, a huge nation of
eight.
663
00:46:08,300 --> 00:46:11,800
People come all somebody that
was his nation and he lived he
664
00:46:11,800 --> 00:46:14,200
lived for a promise.
He looks forward to the
665
00:46:14,200 --> 00:46:16,300
promised.
My fact, it says this and this
666
00:46:16,300 --> 00:46:17,600
is Tommy.
All the people we talked about.
667
00:46:17,600 --> 00:46:20,900
It says, all these people we've
mentioned, we're still living by
668
00:46:20,900 --> 00:46:23,300
faith.
When they died did not receive
669
00:46:23,300 --> 00:46:25,900
the things those promised they
were looking forward to a
670
00:46:25,908 --> 00:46:29,200
promise, looking out to a
promise and Only saw them and
671
00:46:29,200 --> 00:46:32,000
welcomed them from a distance
and this one who told themselves
672
00:46:32,000 --> 00:46:35,900
admitting that they were
foreigners and strangers on
673
00:46:35,900 --> 00:46:37,900
Earth.
And this is, this is where the
674
00:46:37,900 --> 00:46:40,000
call the Christian we shouldn't
fit in.
675
00:46:40,100 --> 00:46:43,400
If your goal is to fit in, you
will not live by faith and not
676
00:46:43,400 --> 00:46:45,700
the things of God in your life.
You're going to fit in with your
677
00:46:45,700 --> 00:46:47,200
friends.
You have the wrong goal.
678
00:46:47,200 --> 00:46:49,400
Amen.
I mean, you're called to be the
679
00:46:49,400 --> 00:46:51,300
outcast.
You're called to be the weirdo.
680
00:46:51,300 --> 00:46:52,700
The Jesus freak.
You called me.
681
00:46:52,700 --> 00:46:54,500
The guy that just like, what's
up with that guy?
682
00:46:54,600 --> 00:46:56,400
And it honestly is so
attraction.
683
00:46:56,400 --> 00:46:59,000
We're going to talk about what
faith Looks like and this side
684
00:46:59,000 --> 00:47:01,500
of Eternity.
But and then the fact this isn't
685
00:47:01,500 --> 00:47:04,600
my home, people say such things,
they show that they're looking
686
00:47:04,600 --> 00:47:07,100
for a country of their own.
If they had been looking
687
00:47:07,100 --> 00:47:09,600
thinking of a country, they had
left that have found the
688
00:47:09,600 --> 00:47:13,100
opportunity to return.
It is so easy to tell somebody
689
00:47:13,100 --> 00:47:14,900
who's going to go the distance
and somebody's not because
690
00:47:14,900 --> 00:47:16,300
they're always looking over
their shoulder back and what
691
00:47:16,300 --> 00:47:18,800
they used to have the New
Testament says this, whoever
692
00:47:18,800 --> 00:47:21,400
puts her hands to the plow and
looks back is not fit for the
693
00:47:21,400 --> 00:47:24,900
kingdom of God.
I mean your hands can be here,
694
00:47:24,900 --> 00:47:26,800
but if your hearts back they're
going to find a way to go back,
695
00:47:26,800 --> 00:47:28,900
aren't you?
We gotta move our heart from
696
00:47:28,900 --> 00:47:32,000
here on Earth and move our heart
into heaven.
697
00:47:32,000 --> 00:47:35,100
Amen.
But this is our desire Heaven
698
00:47:35,100 --> 00:47:37,100
should be so close.
I mean, I love that song
699
00:47:37,100 --> 00:47:40,900
homesick, right?
Like I want to go home but God
700
00:47:40,900 --> 00:47:43,200
has me here but that's the heart
of a Christian.
701
00:47:43,200 --> 00:47:46,500
So I'm just going to gather as
much for the kingdom of God and
702
00:47:46,500 --> 00:47:48,600
live by faith the kingdom God
and see what God will do for my
703
00:47:48,600 --> 00:47:51,300
life before I make it home.
But this is not my home.
704
00:47:51,300 --> 00:47:54,200
I don't put down the deeper,
it's Amen, I'm a foreigner, I'm
705
00:47:54,200 --> 00:47:57,300
a soldier and I just I'm just
walking through step-by-step
706
00:47:57,300 --> 00:47:59,500
just going on, Okay, well that
looks like the world but this
707
00:47:59,500 --> 00:48:02,500
isn't my home.
People say such things.
708
00:48:02,600 --> 00:48:05,500
The looking for the country of
their own, I don't belong here.
709
00:48:05,700 --> 00:48:08,500
I'm not going to get too
comfortable instead their
710
00:48:08,500 --> 00:48:10,800
longing for a better country.
There's something more out
711
00:48:10,800 --> 00:48:13,800
there, a Heavenly country.
Therefore, God is not ashamed to
712
00:48:13,808 --> 00:48:17,000
be called their God for.
He has prepared a city for them
713
00:48:17,100 --> 00:48:18,800
in heaven.
I want to forget about this city
714
00:48:18,800 --> 00:48:19,700
of fountains.
Amen.
715
00:48:20,400 --> 00:48:23,800
The city that architect of God
has built for us.
716
00:48:23,800 --> 00:48:25,600
This is where our heart is at,
amen.
717
00:48:26,400 --> 00:48:27,600
I mean you put your hope in
here.
718
00:48:27,700 --> 00:48:29,100
You're going to be sorely
disappointed.
719
00:48:29,400 --> 00:48:32,300
Maybe the end game is heaven and
this is our home.
720
00:48:32,300 --> 00:48:34,200
This is where we're moving to as
Christians.
721
00:48:34,400 --> 00:48:36,100
Have you been around a person of
great faith?
722
00:48:36,800 --> 00:48:40,300
If you've been around a person
that just was like, wow, the
723
00:48:40,300 --> 00:48:43,700
spirit of God is on that person
and I don't know if you had that
724
00:48:43,700 --> 00:48:47,000
in your life, maybe you've seen
it on TV or like a video or
725
00:48:47,000 --> 00:48:49,300
maybe the Bible study by
somebody or read a book by
726
00:48:49,300 --> 00:48:52,100
somebody, but you kind of get
some picture of what a person of
727
00:48:52,107 --> 00:48:55,000
great faith.
Looks like your sense that
728
00:48:55,000 --> 00:48:59,200
before that Spirit of God like
it's anointing is on is on them.
729
00:48:59,600 --> 00:49:01,700
The kind of people that like
it's always the movement.
730
00:49:01,700 --> 00:49:04,800
God is kind of Falls over they
go but the God is speaking
731
00:49:04,800 --> 00:49:07,600
through them like a vessel like
the tip of the spear like an
732
00:49:07,600 --> 00:49:10,200
arrow shot into the culture.
Have you been around these kind
733
00:49:10,200 --> 00:49:12,700
of people like you know you
think of people like that,
734
00:49:12,700 --> 00:49:14,000
right?
And I'm not going to make a
735
00:49:14,008 --> 00:49:15,500
living because they still have
room to fall.
736
00:49:15,500 --> 00:49:16,700
That's what those are and say,
right.
737
00:49:17,100 --> 00:49:18,700
But you think like Billy Graham,
right?
738
00:49:19,100 --> 00:49:24,200
Like this is just just moved a
nation like the platform of like
739
00:49:24,200 --> 00:49:27,900
a world scale to be used.
By God, I think about men and
740
00:49:27,900 --> 00:49:31,000
people in our church like a
local scale, or like a family
741
00:49:31,000 --> 00:49:32,700
scale, you think about person
your family's like me, and that
742
00:49:32,700 --> 00:49:36,700
person they just bring up the
level of spirituality, like this
743
00:49:36,700 --> 00:49:39,400
brings Jesus to our family.
If it wasn't for that person,
744
00:49:39,600 --> 00:49:41,700
man, here's what, here's, I'll
use this.
745
00:49:41,700 --> 00:49:43,800
Grab those kind of people.
I'm a word, you use to describe
746
00:49:43,800 --> 00:49:45,900
them and maybe you find this
true for you.
747
00:49:46,200 --> 00:49:49,200
I've been around these people
seeing him and like being the
748
00:49:49,200 --> 00:49:54,100
word, I think of is transcended.
These kind of people transcend
749
00:49:54,100 --> 00:49:57,500
their culture.
You know, they don't fit There's
750
00:49:57,500 --> 00:50:00,000
like what man.
Like, how do you do that?
751
00:50:00,000 --> 00:50:03,200
Like I can't, I don't know
Faith, but look how much
752
00:50:03,200 --> 00:50:05,100
sacrifice.
Like, how did you come up with
753
00:50:05,100 --> 00:50:06,700
that?
Like how in the world?
754
00:50:06,700 --> 00:50:09,800
You have the courage in the to
step out?
755
00:50:10,200 --> 00:50:12,000
You look at those people, like
they transcend, think about
756
00:50:12,000 --> 00:50:13,800
transcend, it means breaking the
limit.
757
00:50:14,100 --> 00:50:18,900
It means Rising above and going
beyond the range of the limits
758
00:50:18,900 --> 00:50:21,500
to transcends.
I mean, you think about people
759
00:50:21,500 --> 00:50:23,700
in your life, if you've been
around and seen those people.
760
00:50:23,800 --> 00:50:25,900
It's like band.
That's a foreign person in our
761
00:50:25,900 --> 00:50:26,500
family.
Emily.
762
00:50:26,900 --> 00:50:28,300
Maybe you should be the fourth
person or family.
763
00:50:28,300 --> 00:50:31,000
Men would be good thing to be
the fourth person.
764
00:50:31,000 --> 00:50:32,500
Your family.
Well, the foreign person our
765
00:50:32,500 --> 00:50:35,300
church that transcending the
church, the kind of people like
766
00:50:35,300 --> 00:50:37,200
Jesus, that made Jesus show.
But Sinners.
767
00:50:37,200 --> 00:50:40,000
What is thinners, do they do it?
Most churches doing they run,
768
00:50:40,100 --> 00:50:41,700
they ran to Jesus.
Amen.
769
00:50:42,100 --> 00:50:44,500
He was a friend of sinners that
boys, a life of the party, no
770
00:50:44,500 --> 00:50:46,600
matter where he went.
People went to him, he was
771
00:50:46,600 --> 00:50:48,700
trying to pray.
He had a cut through the crowds
772
00:50:48,700 --> 00:50:51,200
and goal behind some rocks in
the mound just to be quiet.
773
00:50:51,200 --> 00:50:53,200
So you can pray to God.
Hit Ali crowd was always
774
00:50:53,200 --> 00:50:56,800
pursuing him because he was so
attraction, 'l to Well, amen.
775
00:50:57,800 --> 00:51:00,100
Amen.
I mean, we think about our
776
00:51:00,100 --> 00:51:02,700
lives.
It's like a Maya transcended
777
00:51:02,700 --> 00:51:05,400
person.
Can I be the kind of person that
778
00:51:05,400 --> 00:51:08,800
God's hand is all over.
Shall be like person of faith
779
00:51:08,800 --> 00:51:10,800
that God's like, I'm picking
that boy.
780
00:51:11,000 --> 00:51:12,600
Like, that person loves me and
secret.
781
00:51:12,600 --> 00:51:16,000
He's worked, tails off behind
the scenes, he's full of Faith.
782
00:51:16,300 --> 00:51:19,200
He's the kind of person that
trust me with a little.
783
00:51:19,300 --> 00:51:21,300
And now I can give that person
more.
784
00:51:21,500 --> 00:51:24,700
They transcend people who
changed Nations and changed
785
00:51:24,700 --> 00:51:27,400
countries and just on there.
The prey of their news about
786
00:51:27,400 --> 00:51:29,800
David and Daniel.
These ancients we've all these
787
00:51:29,800 --> 00:51:33,800
stories that transcended the
Enoch transcended to translate
788
00:51:33,800 --> 00:51:36,500
up to heaven.
I mean, the Earth didn't deserve
789
00:51:36,500 --> 00:51:39,600
that kind of faith and that kind
of Heaven here on Earth.
790
00:51:39,800 --> 00:51:41,600
I just think God should help us
to be transgender.
791
00:51:41,600 --> 00:51:42,900
People are generation.
Amen.
792
00:51:44,000 --> 00:51:46,500
Amen.
I'm usually that kind of people
793
00:51:46,500 --> 00:51:49,800
for our children and be
transcended for our nation.
794
00:51:50,000 --> 00:51:53,400
I mean transcended, their our
workplace people should know.
795
00:51:53,400 --> 00:51:54,900
There's something different
about that boy.
796
00:51:54,900 --> 00:51:57,600
I can't put my finger on because
you can't put your finger on the
797
00:51:57,600 --> 00:51:59,600
band of God.
But you do realize they're not
798
00:51:59,600 --> 00:52:02,600
from here but there's something
so much greater about that, man,
799
00:52:02,700 --> 00:52:06,300
or woman of Jesus and everybody
should see where you go.
800
00:52:06,300 --> 00:52:08,100
Should say, man, that person
loves Jesus.
801
00:52:08,200 --> 00:52:09,900
And when you get closer to you,
this is how, you know,
802
00:52:09,900 --> 00:52:12,600
somebody's transcended.
When you get closer to them, you
803
00:52:12,600 --> 00:52:15,700
discover the heart of God.
The kind of people when you sit
804
00:52:15,700 --> 00:52:18,500
down with and you're like, wow,
I feel like I just met a little
805
00:52:18,500 --> 00:52:19,700
closer to Jesus.
Today.
806
00:52:20,100 --> 00:52:22,100
They're the kind of people you
don't get closer to and go, guys
807
00:52:22,100 --> 00:52:23,900
are phony.
Does it kind of people get
808
00:52:23,900 --> 00:52:26,700
closer to me like, wow, how did
you get where you're at today?
809
00:52:26,700 --> 00:52:29,000
How did, how did God move in
your heart to get that level?
810
00:52:29,100 --> 00:52:31,100
And they're going to say the
same thing to say today by
811
00:52:31,100 --> 00:52:31,800
faith.
Amen!
812
00:52:32,500 --> 00:52:34,700
By Faith, by faith.
It's not them.
813
00:52:34,800 --> 00:52:40,400
It's God, Hebrews 11:17 by faith
Abraham when God tested him
814
00:52:40,400 --> 00:52:43,700
offered Isaac.
This is his son as a sacrifice.
815
00:52:44,800 --> 00:52:49,100
Who he who had one who had
embraced the promises.
816
00:52:49,800 --> 00:52:53,300
This is Abraham embrace the
promise of the of God in his
817
00:52:53,400 --> 00:52:54,700
life.
He had deep conviction.
818
00:52:54,700 --> 00:52:57,300
He was full sinned.
As Diane says, all times a team
819
00:52:57,300 --> 00:52:58,700
full sin.
There was nothing happened,
820
00:52:58,700 --> 00:53:03,500
Alden for Jesus, was able was
about to sacrifice his one and
821
00:53:03,500 --> 00:53:08,400
only son, even though God had
said to him it is through Isaac
822
00:53:08,400 --> 00:53:11,300
that your Offspring will be
reckoned.
823
00:53:11,400 --> 00:53:13,200
I mean think about this, you
know the story.
824
00:53:13,200 --> 00:53:14,500
If you don't know it you got to
look it up.
825
00:53:14,700 --> 00:53:18,600
You have Abraham who's really
raising the knife to sacrifice
826
00:53:18,600 --> 00:53:21,900
his own son on the altar in
place of another sacrifice
827
00:53:21,900 --> 00:53:24,600
because God said, hey, take your
son up to sacrifice him because
828
00:53:24,600 --> 00:53:27,300
Isaac it almost become like an
idol to Abraham.
829
00:53:27,300 --> 00:53:30,600
He was testing Abraham to see
his faith and so he gets up
830
00:53:30,600 --> 00:53:34,100
there and he raises the knife up
willing to kill his son, who God
831
00:53:34,100 --> 00:53:36,700
told him the air of your
generations and your legacy your
832
00:53:36,700 --> 00:53:39,900
nation is going to be killed.
It made no sense.
833
00:53:39,900 --> 00:53:41,600
It doesn't make any rational
sense.
834
00:53:41,900 --> 00:53:45,600
Does it make any sense?
But Abraham, he Stood God, he
835
00:53:45,600 --> 00:53:47,900
had faith in God.
That God would somehow make
836
00:53:47,900 --> 00:53:51,000
away.
Love what happens here, Abraham
837
00:53:51,000 --> 00:53:53,200
reasons.
And this is the type of reason
838
00:53:53,300 --> 00:53:57,000
that doesn't exist in 2023 and
our education doesn't exist, our
839
00:53:57,000 --> 00:53:59,300
nation and doesn't exist
anywhere.
840
00:53:59,500 --> 00:54:02,400
Besides the people of God who
know that the word of God and
841
00:54:02,400 --> 00:54:05,600
people are faithful to God,
Abraham reasoned with faith.
842
00:54:05,800 --> 00:54:08,500
He said that if God could even
raise the dead and even at mayor
843
00:54:08,500 --> 00:54:12,800
speaking, he even did receive
Isaac back from Death, Abraham
844
00:54:12,800 --> 00:54:14,500
believed so much that he just
stabbed eyes.
845
00:54:14,600 --> 00:54:17,000
Can I shake down the altar?
That the only way this never
846
00:54:17,000 --> 00:54:20,200
work out is that God has raised
him from the dead, his so much
847
00:54:20,200 --> 00:54:21,800
faith.
That if I killed my own son,
848
00:54:22,100 --> 00:54:23,400
that got to bring it back to
life.
849
00:54:23,700 --> 00:54:26,800
It's always going to work out
and I think in this generation
850
00:54:26,900 --> 00:54:28,400
we've got to add Faith back in
the equation.
851
00:54:28,400 --> 00:54:32,000
Amen, we gotta add Faith back
into our reason.
852
00:54:32,100 --> 00:54:34,100
It's not unreasonable.
It is actually the only thing
853
00:54:34,100 --> 00:54:36,100
that is reasonable.
It takes more faith to be an
854
00:54:36,100 --> 00:54:37,800
atheist.
It takes more faith to be a
855
00:54:37,800 --> 00:54:40,300
secular humanist.
It takes more faith to wander
856
00:54:40,300 --> 00:54:42,500
apart from God.
It takes more faith to do all
857
00:54:42,508 --> 00:54:45,000
those things.
Then the trust God, and To serve
858
00:54:45,000 --> 00:54:45,800
God.
Amen.
859
00:54:47,000 --> 00:54:51,900
Something like step on my toes.
Look, the promises of God are so
860
00:54:51,900 --> 00:54:54,900
true.
If he died racism a life, John
861
00:54:54,900 --> 00:54:57,300
3:16 for God.
So loved the world that he gave
862
00:54:57,300 --> 00:55:02,600
his only son one and only son
KJV gave His only begotten son,
863
00:55:02,800 --> 00:55:04,800
that reference actually refers
back to.
864
00:55:04,800 --> 00:55:07,800
This is the only time you see in
the Bible, the one only son be
865
00:55:07,800 --> 00:55:10,400
sacrificed if God can raise him
from the dead.
866
00:55:10,500 --> 00:55:13,400
So just promise is always true.
It's gospel.
867
00:55:13,500 --> 00:55:15,500
Truth by faith.
Isaac blessed.
868
00:55:15,500 --> 00:55:17,100
Jacob.
And Esau in regards to the
869
00:55:17,100 --> 00:55:20,200
Future by faith, Jacob, when he
was dying.
870
00:55:20,300 --> 00:55:23,400
Each of Joseph's sons and
worshiped as he leaned on top of
871
00:55:23,400 --> 00:55:27,100
his staff by faith Joseph when
his when his end was near spoke
872
00:55:27,100 --> 00:55:29,400
about the Exodus of the
Israelites from Egypt and gave
873
00:55:29,400 --> 00:55:33,000
instructions concerning the
barrel of his bones by faith.
874
00:55:33,000 --> 00:55:36,500
Moses has parents mom and dad,
you don't see that in the
875
00:55:36,500 --> 00:55:39,200
picture on the wall of the Ark,
you know, the the drawings.
876
00:55:39,200 --> 00:55:42,300
But Mom and Dad hid him for
three months after his born,
877
00:55:42,400 --> 00:55:43,800
instead of having him killed
tossin.
878
00:55:43,800 --> 00:55:47,400
So now they hit him because they
saw, he was no ordinary child.
879
00:55:47,600 --> 00:55:48,900
And they were what hell?
No.
880
00:55:48,900 --> 00:55:51,900
They were not.
They're not afraid of the king's
881
00:55:51,900 --> 00:55:53,300
edict.
I'm gonna let you know.
882
00:55:53,300 --> 00:55:56,900
Today, we aren't the first
generation that to pick from the
883
00:55:56,900 --> 00:56:00,000
faith in God, or fear of a king
or culture.
884
00:56:00,600 --> 00:56:02,800
We're not the first generation
of parents that have to
885
00:56:02,800 --> 00:56:05,900
fearlessly, protect our kids
from the things of a king or a
886
00:56:05,908 --> 00:56:07,500
kingdom of a culture.
Amen.
887
00:56:08,100 --> 00:56:10,500
We're not the first generation
after to push up hill.
888
00:56:10,800 --> 00:56:13,200
Now, the first generation that's
misunderstood, it has to do
889
00:56:13,200 --> 00:56:16,200
things in secret and had to
fight the good fight of faith
890
00:56:16,200 --> 00:56:18,000
and have to War for the things
of God.
891
00:56:18,000 --> 00:56:20,300
Whatever else is going left and
said, no, no, I'm going to do.
892
00:56:20,600 --> 00:56:24,100
Going to do it the gods way.
I'm going to fear God, not man.
893
00:56:24,400 --> 00:56:28,000
And look at this by faith, Moses
because his parents had faith in
894
00:56:28,000 --> 00:56:30,600
God.
Here's Moses, it's amazing Moses
895
00:56:30,600 --> 00:56:34,300
when he'd grown up because he
had a chance at life because
896
00:56:34,300 --> 00:56:37,500
they feared God, I love looking
his words.
897
00:56:37,500 --> 00:56:40,500
Refused to be known as the son
of Pharaoh's daughter.
898
00:56:40,500 --> 00:56:43,700
He refused it.
He said no, thanks not for me.
899
00:56:43,900 --> 00:56:47,000
He chose to be mistreated along
with the people of God, rather
900
00:56:47,000 --> 00:56:49,200
than enjoy the fleeting
pleasures of sin.
901
00:56:49,500 --> 00:56:53,200
He chose He refused to be
counted as a household of
902
00:56:53,200 --> 00:56:58,000
pharaoh and then he chose to be
identified as a Hebrew and to
903
00:56:58,000 --> 00:57:00,300
follow the God of all gods and
never forgot where he came from.
904
00:57:00,300 --> 00:57:03,100
Amen.
He just chose to take to walk
905
00:57:03,100 --> 00:57:05,900
away from all these things.
We have fortune and fame and
906
00:57:05,900 --> 00:57:07,900
money.
All these things, the fleeting
907
00:57:07,900 --> 00:57:10,300
pleasures of sin and says, verse
26.
908
00:57:10,300 --> 00:57:15,700
He regarded disgrace for the
sake of Christ as greater value
909
00:57:15,900 --> 00:57:20,000
than the treasures of Egypt,
because he was looking ahead to
910
00:57:20,000 --> 00:57:24,700
his Reward.
He, he'd rather not sell out to
911
00:57:24,700 --> 00:57:28,300
the Egyptian dream.
Here are not be comfortable, he
912
00:57:28,300 --> 00:57:30,500
really not.
Just go with the flow and fit in
913
00:57:30,500 --> 00:57:33,200
his little good health, a fun
life up in the palace and do
914
00:57:33,200 --> 00:57:34,700
what he wants to do.
No, no, he's real.
915
00:57:34,700 --> 00:57:38,000
He's identified with God, Amen.
This is, what baptism is?
916
00:57:38,500 --> 00:57:40,700
I mean, you're literally saying,
hey, I'm in for Jesus, I don't
917
00:57:40,700 --> 00:57:43,200
know what's gonna cost me, but I
don't care because I know what
918
00:57:43,200 --> 00:57:46,300
God is already giving me another
award that said heaven for me,
919
00:57:46,300 --> 00:57:48,500
I'm just going to follow God, I
won't be on his side.
920
00:57:48,500 --> 00:57:50,000
I don't know, if you'll play
dodgeball, what side of the
921
00:57:50,000 --> 00:57:50,500
fence?
You're on your own?
922
00:57:50,600 --> 00:57:52,100
I'm going to go with Jesus.
Amen.
923
00:57:52,300 --> 00:57:54,200
I know what kind of games you
like to play, but there's not a
924
00:57:54,207 --> 00:57:56,400
game with God.
So I'm going to go on God's side
925
00:57:56,500 --> 00:57:59,300
and God Honors that see Moses.
No, that's what his home.
926
00:57:59,400 --> 00:58:01,400
He didn't sell out by faith.
He left.
927
00:58:01,400 --> 00:58:05,000
Egypt.
Not fearing the Kings anger.
928
00:58:05,000 --> 00:58:08,300
Come on somebody.
I'm somewhat were so motivated
929
00:58:08,300 --> 00:58:11,500
about fear but the three at
regards is we got a fear, the
930
00:58:11,500 --> 00:58:14,600
one who's worthy to be feared,
not the person that can kill the
931
00:58:14,600 --> 00:58:18,700
body, but the the God of all
gods that can kill the body and
932
00:58:18,700 --> 00:58:23,900
the Soul, right?
We have a healthy reverence of
933
00:58:23,900 --> 00:58:26,000
God is the beginning of all
wisdom.
934
00:58:26,200 --> 00:58:27,800
And so we make a choice.
It's like which direction to go,
935
00:58:27,800 --> 00:58:29,200
which we got.
Hey, I'm going to follow the
936
00:58:29,200 --> 00:58:32,400
direction of God and he
persevered because you saw that
937
00:58:32,400 --> 00:58:35,100
he was invisible course.
He got a burning bush that helps
938
00:58:35,100 --> 00:58:36,700
a little bit.
Come on somebody, right.
939
00:58:37,900 --> 00:58:39,700
But it wouldn't matter.
People can see a burning bush,
940
00:58:39,700 --> 00:58:42,700
they can be Jesus, they still
crucified him by faith.
941
00:58:42,700 --> 00:58:44,800
He kept the Passover, an
application, the blood on the
942
00:58:44,808 --> 00:58:46,300
lintel.
So that the story of the
943
00:58:46,308 --> 00:58:48,300
firstborn would not touch the
firstborn of Israel.
944
00:58:48,700 --> 00:58:51,400
And by faith, the people pass
through the Red Sea as on dry
945
00:58:51,400 --> 00:58:53,900
land, but when the Egyptians
tried to do so they were
946
00:58:53,900 --> 00:58:56,000
drowned.
I want you to notice so far in
947
00:58:56,000 --> 00:58:59,200
this whole passes of Hebrews
chapter 11, what didn't happen,
948
00:58:59,900 --> 00:59:02,900
what did they do?
It wasn't by intelligence.
949
00:59:03,000 --> 00:59:06,000
Come on somebody.
It wasn't by higher secondary,
950
00:59:06,000 --> 00:59:08,700
or higher education or the Agree
or PhD.
951
00:59:08,800 --> 00:59:12,100
It wasn't because their ability
it was because of hard work.
952
00:59:12,200 --> 00:59:14,000
It wasn't because they were
qualified.
953
00:59:14,200 --> 00:59:17,900
It wasn't because they're
successful or famous or popular
954
00:59:18,100 --> 00:59:20,200
it wasn't because they're trying
to make people happy.
955
00:59:20,300 --> 00:59:22,300
Amen.
It wasn't because they're trying
956
00:59:22,300 --> 00:59:24,800
to boost up the culture and be
in the Limelight.
957
00:59:24,800 --> 00:59:26,700
It wasn't because they're trying
to keep their friends.
958
00:59:26,900 --> 00:59:29,300
It wasn't because they were
fully resource for the vision.
959
00:59:29,400 --> 00:59:31,800
Amen.
Somebody got a big Vision on how
960
00:59:31,800 --> 00:59:33,500
to get their God will figure it
out.
961
00:59:33,700 --> 00:59:36,100
You just be faithful, right?
It wasn't because their top of
962
00:59:36,100 --> 00:59:39,000
their class and it wasn't
because they're fully prepared.
963
00:59:39,000 --> 00:59:40,900
If you're waiting for prepared,
you've missed the entire
964
00:59:40,900 --> 00:59:44,800
opportunity, amen.
You're missing it, you got to go
965
00:59:44,800 --> 00:59:46,800
now.
Like there's a mission.
966
00:59:46,800 --> 00:59:50,100
It's Uncharted, you know, we put
people on the moon with
967
00:59:50,100 --> 00:59:52,500
intelligence, not even a
microwave today.
968
00:59:52,800 --> 00:59:58,200
Come on somebody, right?
We just find a way to push into
969
00:59:58,200 --> 01:00:01,200
the kingdom of God, by faith.
The battles are won and fought
970
01:00:01,200 --> 01:00:03,600
by God from our knees.
Junior, open the Bible.
971
01:00:03,600 --> 01:00:05,700
It's always interesting because,
you know, when people open the
972
01:00:05,700 --> 01:00:08,400
Bible because it seems to be
like a kind of Rarity for most
973
01:00:08,400 --> 01:00:10,600
people, but they opened the
Bible is like me and God showed
974
01:00:10,600 --> 01:00:12,400
me something.
And so his flipped it open and
975
01:00:12,400 --> 01:00:14,300
God Start speaking here.
Notice that in your life, you
976
01:00:14,308 --> 01:00:17,000
can flip to any part of the
Bible and God speaks to you even
977
01:00:17,000 --> 01:00:19,300
Leviticus.
Come on, somebody like something
978
01:00:19,300 --> 01:00:21,600
just Man.
Okay, God spoke to me, maybe a
979
01:00:21,600 --> 01:00:24,400
little struggle, right?
But God speaks to, you is so
980
01:00:24,400 --> 01:00:25,200
happens.
So many times.
981
01:00:25,200 --> 01:00:27,300
And, you know, if you crack the
Bible open, he's probably trying
982
01:00:27,300 --> 01:00:28,600
to solve, right?
It's just Brad, the middle of
983
01:00:28,600 --> 01:00:31,900
the spine, you know, Joe main
guys are speaking, right, but
984
01:00:31,900 --> 01:00:34,600
here's the reality, as
Christians see, most people
985
01:00:34,600 --> 01:00:37,800
like, pick a book, but as
Christians, the book picked us.
986
01:00:37,900 --> 01:00:40,600
Amen.
It's a Living Word.
987
01:00:40,700 --> 01:00:44,200
And as you all know the word you
want, Jesus is called the word
988
01:00:44,300 --> 01:00:47,000
just opened the Bible and
started the word speak into your
989
01:00:47,000 --> 01:00:48,800
life.
And so you get alone with God
990
01:00:48,800 --> 01:00:51,200
and say, okay, God, what you
want me to do and those secret
991
01:00:51,200 --> 01:00:54,200
dark moments when nobody's
around, that's your faith is
992
01:00:54,200 --> 01:00:56,500
built.
A men like on the right here.
993
01:00:56,500 --> 01:00:58,700
This is, this is just like a
spur on Moment.
994
01:00:59,000 --> 01:01:00,400
Like, This isn't a
faith-building moment.
995
01:01:00,400 --> 01:01:02,000
You got to get face to face with
Jesus.
996
01:01:02,000 --> 01:01:04,800
Amen.
Like that's your responsibility.
997
01:01:04,900 --> 01:01:08,900
That's your part to play and God
is willing to use you as a
998
01:01:08,908 --> 01:01:12,200
transcended person of great
faith in your family, in your
999
01:01:12,200 --> 01:01:14,300
culture.
If you are willing to fall
1000
01:01:14,300 --> 01:01:17,400
deeply in desperately, in love
with Jesus.
1001
01:01:19,500 --> 01:01:23,700
We live by faith, not by sight.
He was 11:30 says, this by
1002
01:01:23,700 --> 01:01:25,800
faith, the walls of Jericho fell
after armies.
1003
01:01:25,800 --> 01:01:28,400
Had marched around them for
seven days immigrant trumpet.
1004
01:01:28,900 --> 01:01:33,000
Come on somebody, right?
Just like Katie to the ground
1005
01:01:33,000 --> 01:01:35,800
right by faith.
Look at this, I love this The
1006
01:01:35,800 --> 01:01:39,800
Prostitute Rahab because she
welcomed the spies was not
1007
01:01:39,800 --> 01:01:42,500
killed.
And those who were in or with
1008
01:01:42,500 --> 01:01:45,500
those who are disobedient.
I love that women made and Hall
1009
01:01:45,500 --> 01:01:47,900
of Fame and Faith.
Amen, there is great.
1010
01:01:47,900 --> 01:01:49,200
Women of Faith.
I can't tell.
1011
01:01:49,400 --> 01:01:51,600
People, I talked to it's like my
grandma showed me Jesus.
1012
01:01:51,600 --> 01:01:54,200
My grandma brought me to church.
My grandma pulled me to Christ.
1013
01:01:54,200 --> 01:01:56,100
That is so many people's
stories.
1014
01:01:56,400 --> 01:01:58,400
And here you have recognized
like there's when the faith all
1015
01:01:58,400 --> 01:02:00,500
throughout history, all
throughout the Bible, but even
1016
01:02:00,700 --> 01:02:04,100
cooler than that, in the story
of a prostitute, you have an
1017
01:02:04,100 --> 01:02:07,900
ordinary or maybe less than
order is people consider a
1018
01:02:07,900 --> 01:02:16,900
broken empty, maybe leftover
just Every day people.
1019
01:02:16,900 --> 01:02:19,600
Come on, somebody.
Nothing special.
1020
01:02:20,400 --> 01:02:25,000
And God uses her.
Her faith to do extraordinary
1021
01:02:25,000 --> 01:02:26,600
things for God.
Amen.
1022
01:02:27,400 --> 01:02:29,500
And so if you're looking around
like a man, but if you do my
1023
01:02:29,500 --> 01:02:33,300
past I don't I personally don't
need no your pass to know Jesus
1024
01:02:33,300 --> 01:02:34,900
who forgave your past?
Amen.
1025
01:02:35,400 --> 01:02:37,500
And so we got stop looking in
the rearview mirror and being
1026
01:02:37,500 --> 01:02:39,600
held on by this anchor.
Oh, look what happened in my
1027
01:02:39,600 --> 01:02:42,000
life?
It's like glory to God because
1028
01:02:42,000 --> 01:02:45,600
what much is much as much as
forgiving.
1029
01:02:46,000 --> 01:02:47,500
Then much is required.
Amen.
1030
01:02:47,900 --> 01:02:50,300
And so you can just go like,
well, me and God just took down
1031
01:02:50,300 --> 01:02:52,300
that big anchor.
Praise God.
1032
01:02:52,300 --> 01:02:54,400
Hallelujah.
Ooh, I've got a story to tell
1033
01:02:54,600 --> 01:02:57,500
and so you guys are blessed with
the ability to share your story.
1034
01:02:57,600 --> 01:03:01,800
I once was a sinner, but God
saved me.
1035
01:03:02,300 --> 01:03:05,800
I once was blind, but now I see.
Amen.
1036
01:03:06,400 --> 01:03:09,500
And look at, look at Rahab and
her story, it's like, man, if
1037
01:03:09,500 --> 01:03:13,400
God can use her, by the way, so
far down the list, you've had a
1038
01:03:13,400 --> 01:03:15,600
murderer.
You had people sleep with her,
1039
01:03:15,800 --> 01:03:18,600
Daughters, you have a drunkards,
you've had an another person who
1040
01:03:18,600 --> 01:03:21,300
was killed by somebody.
I mean, just if you don't know
1041
01:03:21,300 --> 01:03:24,200
the Bible, I'm sorry because it
is so real.
1042
01:03:24,300 --> 01:03:26,300
Nobody, can nobody write this.
If they're writing this, they
1043
01:03:26,300 --> 01:03:28,100
don't.
Okay, people are history, they
1044
01:03:28,100 --> 01:03:30,000
cut out all that stuff in their
family right?
1045
01:03:30,200 --> 01:03:32,600
Come on is the perfect family
right just like that picture.
1046
01:03:32,600 --> 01:03:34,400
You just retake the picture.
They just write how they want to
1047
01:03:34,408 --> 01:03:37,200
ride it but this is the real
deal and so we can have faith in
1048
01:03:37,200 --> 01:03:38,600
God.
Just ordinary people do
1049
01:03:38,600 --> 01:03:41,400
extraordinary things for God.
The key greeting is simply this
1050
01:03:41,500 --> 01:03:44,000
by Faith by faith.
I'm gonna tell you what.
1051
01:03:44,000 --> 01:03:45,600
Faith looks like your life and
found in Titus.
1052
01:03:45,700 --> 01:03:48,500
Chapter 3 verse 4 through 7, and
this is the gospel.
1053
01:03:48,500 --> 01:03:50,600
This is one of the greatest
presentations of the Gospel.
1054
01:03:50,900 --> 01:03:54,200
This is Paul speaking to your
Protege like build them up,
1055
01:03:54,200 --> 01:03:55,700
right?
It says this but when the
1056
01:03:55,700 --> 01:04:00,000
kindness and love of God, our
savior appeared he saved us.
1057
01:04:00,200 --> 01:04:03,500
Now, don't forget this.
This is it not because of
1058
01:04:03,600 --> 01:04:08,400
righteous things, we had done,
you know, you're forgiven, not
1059
01:04:08,400 --> 01:04:11,900
because that you are a good
person you know you're not
1060
01:04:11,900 --> 01:04:14,600
forgiven because you measure up.
You're not forgiven because
1061
01:04:14,600 --> 01:04:17,000
you're perfect.
I've been giving it forgive me
1062
01:04:17,000 --> 01:04:19,800
because you went to church and
you read your Bible like the
1063
01:04:19,800 --> 01:04:21,600
thief on the cross.
He did nothing righteous, he
1064
01:04:21,600 --> 01:04:24,200
probably never prayed before a
meal, you probably know the name
1065
01:04:24,200 --> 01:04:28,100
of God, and for just, but God's
Divine Providence, he is hanging
1066
01:04:28,100 --> 01:04:29,700
across next Tuesday, I'll see
you in Paradise.
1067
01:04:29,700 --> 01:04:32,600
He says, you're forgiven, you're
forgiven by this, look what it
1068
01:04:32,607 --> 01:04:34,600
says now because of righteous
things, you've done.
1069
01:04:34,900 --> 01:04:40,200
But because of his Mercy, his
Mercy, his Mercy.
1070
01:04:40,300 --> 01:04:43,000
Mercy is when somebody shows up
and they steal your truck, and
1071
01:04:43,000 --> 01:04:45,200
then you hit you hand him.
The next Keys, the next car.
1072
01:04:45,700 --> 01:04:48,500
That's that's Mercy right.
That Justice is when somebody
1073
01:04:48,500 --> 01:04:50,700
steals your truck you just you
take them out back you know I'm
1074
01:04:50,700 --> 01:04:54,300
saying that's Justice Mercy is
like oh you want the car o have
1075
01:04:54,300 --> 01:04:58,900
this car too right and the grace
of God is like oh hey don't
1076
01:04:58,900 --> 01:05:01,400
worry.
It's forgiving, you can have all
1077
01:05:01,400 --> 01:05:05,700
this but just freely given no
strings attached, Jesus on the
1078
01:05:05,700 --> 01:05:07,800
seat, taking the execution for
us.
1079
01:05:07,900 --> 01:05:11,200
He takes her penalty or payment
for our sin but because of his
1080
01:05:11,200 --> 01:05:16,100
Mercy, he saved us through the
washing of rebirth and the All
1081
01:05:16,300 --> 01:05:19,100
by the Holy Spirit whom he
poured out on us.
1082
01:05:19,100 --> 01:05:23,400
Help me out how us generously
generously.
1083
01:05:23,500 --> 01:05:25,900
Do you know you get a full dose
of the Holy Spirit when you came
1084
01:05:25,900 --> 01:05:29,100
to Christ and it wasn't because
anything you did, what whether
1085
01:05:29,100 --> 01:05:31,800
you killed people, you sold
drugs with your complete
1086
01:05:31,800 --> 01:05:34,100
lunatic, whether you treat you
like trash, whether you
1087
01:05:34,100 --> 01:05:36,600
personally let out of the
divorce and it's all your fault.
1088
01:05:36,700 --> 01:05:38,800
Where the person who did all
this other stuff, it does not
1089
01:05:38,800 --> 01:05:41,300
matter whatsoever.
When you came to Christ he gave
1090
01:05:41,300 --> 01:05:43,100
you the full dose.
Matter fact, he didn't take a
1091
01:05:43,107 --> 01:05:45,400
little eyedropper of the Holy
Spirit and Go Peep.
1092
01:05:45,700 --> 01:05:48,900
And when you grow a little more
peep like you little bleep.
1093
01:05:49,000 --> 01:05:50,800
No, no.
He gave you the full dose of the
1094
01:05:50,800 --> 01:05:53,500
Holy Spirit.
He generously gave it to you.
1095
01:05:53,500 --> 01:05:55,100
This was not to support that bag
of chips.
1096
01:05:55,100 --> 01:05:56,500
Come on somebody.
Right?
1097
01:05:56,500 --> 01:05:58,200
You know, so it gets smaller
every day.
1098
01:05:58,200 --> 01:06:01,400
It's like what in the world?
This is the full bag of Jesus.
1099
01:06:01,400 --> 01:06:03,300
Amen.
So I'm telling you this is you
1100
01:06:03,300 --> 01:06:06,700
have all it takes inside of you
through the Holy Spirit to be
1101
01:06:06,700 --> 01:06:10,300
Transcendent in our culture.
Amen.
1102
01:06:11,000 --> 01:06:13,600
Amen.
Jesus is the Christ Jesus.
1103
01:06:13,600 --> 01:06:17,800
Our savior not you Christ in You
haven't been Justified declared
1104
01:06:17,800 --> 01:06:20,500
righteous by grace that we might
become heirs having hope of
1105
01:06:20,500 --> 01:06:25,000
eternal life, it's lacrosse that
qualifies you to break the
1106
01:06:25,000 --> 01:06:31,000
limits and we should by faith
here, 11:32 and what, what more
1107
01:06:31,000 --> 01:06:33,400
should I say?
I do not have time, which I
1108
01:06:33,408 --> 01:06:36,800
don't, but I don't have time to
tell you about Gideon and Barak
1109
01:06:36,900 --> 01:06:39,200
and Samson in jephthah.
Now, if you don't know about
1110
01:06:39,200 --> 01:06:41,300
Jessica ago, judge 11, been
amazing story.
1111
01:06:41,300 --> 01:06:44,400
This guy's like a wild Warrior
kind of like Elijah kind of,
1112
01:06:44,408 --> 01:06:48,000
dude, it's amazing.
Of David and Samuel the prophets
1113
01:06:48,300 --> 01:06:51,100
in through faith, look what
happens through faith.
1114
01:06:51,100 --> 01:06:53,600
This is amazing.
They conquered kingdoms
1115
01:06:54,000 --> 01:06:57,100
administer Justice gained.
What was promised?
1116
01:06:57,100 --> 01:07:00,200
And we talked about this and
shut the mouths of lions.
1117
01:07:00,200 --> 01:07:02,800
Amen.
They quench the fury of flames
1118
01:07:02,900 --> 01:07:04,800
escaped.
The edge of the sword and whose
1119
01:07:04,900 --> 01:07:08,800
weakness was turned to strength.
It wasn't about their ability,
1120
01:07:09,000 --> 01:07:11,200
it was about their inability
God, used their weakness and he
1121
01:07:11,207 --> 01:07:13,700
became strong.
It says this, that they became
1122
01:07:13,700 --> 01:07:15,500
powerful and battle rather
Foreigner.
1123
01:07:15,600 --> 01:07:18,000
When the received back through
dead raised to life.
1124
01:07:18,000 --> 01:07:21,100
Again, there were others who
were tortured refusing to be
1125
01:07:21,100 --> 01:07:23,100
released that they may gain and
even better.
1126
01:07:23,100 --> 01:07:25,200
Resurrection.
They say I'd rather die for
1127
01:07:25,200 --> 01:07:27,400
Christ and denounce Christ.
So I guess you have to take me
1128
01:07:27,400 --> 01:07:29,700
out.
There's so many Martyrs that
1129
01:07:29,700 --> 01:07:31,400
say, you know what?
That's where my house was sort
1130
01:07:31,400 --> 01:07:32,900
of lure.
This we're going to do and they
1131
01:07:32,900 --> 01:07:35,400
died a death because it rather
just sit there.
1132
01:07:35,600 --> 01:07:38,800
Say I'm a Christian and some
facial cheers, which is mockings
1133
01:07:38,800 --> 01:07:40,900
and flogging and even chains and
imprisonment.
1134
01:07:40,900 --> 01:07:43,900
And they were put to death by
stoning and they were sold into
1135
01:07:43,900 --> 01:07:46,400
two and they're killed by The
Sword and the They went about in
1136
01:07:46,400 --> 01:07:49,600
sheepskins and goatskins being
destitute persecuted.
1137
01:07:49,600 --> 01:07:53,000
In mistreated verse 38, probably
most powerful phrase.
1138
01:07:53,000 --> 01:07:57,800
The entire chapter 11 says us
that the world was not worthy.
1139
01:07:58,500 --> 01:08:00,800
Come on somebody.
Let me that might be the
1140
01:08:00,800 --> 01:08:04,000
greatest definition of Faith.
Somebody who lives in such a way
1141
01:08:04,000 --> 01:08:09,700
that the world was not worthy of
their walk by faith, not by
1142
01:08:09,700 --> 01:08:12,500
sight.
Really, by faith.
1143
01:08:12,500 --> 01:08:15,100
Push it into a generation like
leaving the way.
1144
01:08:15,100 --> 01:08:18,600
They don't make any sense to me,
but I have to put my faith, you
1145
01:08:18,600 --> 01:08:20,000
know, God called me to launch a
church.
1146
01:08:20,000 --> 01:08:22,500
Okay, my faith launch the
church.
1147
01:08:22,500 --> 01:08:24,100
Is it going to work out?
I've no idea.
1148
01:08:24,100 --> 01:08:27,200
Come on somebody.
You know I mean he's like he's
1149
01:08:27,200 --> 01:08:29,399
got to do it.
I don't know if you don't do it
1150
01:08:29,399 --> 01:08:30,399
we're going to move somewhere
else, right?
1151
01:08:30,399 --> 01:08:33,600
We're just keep moving forward
and thank God, try to go to Asia
1152
01:08:33,600 --> 01:08:34,500
as well.
That's not going to work out
1153
01:08:34,508 --> 01:08:35,899
this way.
Just by faith, it's a
1154
01:08:35,899 --> 01:08:37,200
generation.
It steps up.
1155
01:08:38,700 --> 01:08:40,899
I mean how much faith on the
scale that we have right?
1156
01:08:41,899 --> 01:08:45,800
Let me know you marked by faith
or Humana William of Faith.
1157
01:08:46,200 --> 01:08:48,899
These people they honored God in
the darkest days.
1158
01:08:49,500 --> 01:08:53,399
They're persecuted in the
darkness, they're outcasts, they
1159
01:08:53,399 --> 01:08:55,700
were killed.
They set such an example, the
1160
01:08:55,700 --> 01:08:58,500
presence of God, the world
didn't deserve such men and
1161
01:08:58,500 --> 01:09:00,500
women.
I think about these men and we
1162
01:09:00,500 --> 01:09:03,899
talk about Enoch little bit that
these what it means to be you to
1163
01:09:03,899 --> 01:09:06,000
be not worth the world out.
There were these kind of people,
1164
01:09:06,200 --> 01:09:09,800
it's a lemon zest.
There are So Much Heaven in them
1165
01:09:09,800 --> 01:09:12,399
that the world to deserve their
walk on earth.
1166
01:09:12,399 --> 01:09:15,800
He came aggen being so much like
Jesus.
1167
01:09:15,800 --> 01:09:18,700
That God just says the world
isn't worthy of you.
1168
01:09:18,800 --> 01:09:21,100
I mean, I want to go through
that tunnel and having you know
1169
01:09:21,100 --> 01:09:23,800
like one of the well, the
archway is right, where the
1170
01:09:23,808 --> 01:09:25,600
gates.
These be like just pray to
1171
01:09:25,608 --> 01:09:29,700
people go man.
You want those wants the God
1172
01:09:29,700 --> 01:09:32,000
just called you home because the
world wasn't worthy of your
1173
01:09:32,000 --> 01:09:34,899
walk.
Amen, you changes in duration,
1174
01:09:34,899 --> 01:09:37,500
you change the community, he
laid out.
1175
01:09:37,500 --> 01:09:40,399
Out there and you're the blood
of your life.
1176
01:09:40,500 --> 01:09:43,100
What you did lives on Beyond you
because you can't silence the
1177
01:09:43,100 --> 01:09:44,200
work of God.
Amen.
1178
01:09:45,100 --> 01:09:48,399
This is what God is calling us
to do and we can rise up.
1179
01:09:48,700 --> 01:09:50,600
Why Can't We Be The Chariot of
fire generation?
1180
01:09:50,899 --> 01:09:55,000
What is stopping us from?
Pushing that direction who can
1181
01:09:55,000 --> 01:09:56,600
stop the work of God.
Amen.
1182
01:09:58,500 --> 01:10:04,300
Just us just ourselves.
If God is willing, we move, we
1183
01:10:04,300 --> 01:10:07,200
push we transcend in our
culture.
1184
01:10:07,700 --> 01:10:10,100
Verse 38 says, they wandered in
deserts and mountains, live in
1185
01:10:10,100 --> 01:10:12,900
caves and holes in the ground.
They're all commended their
1186
01:10:12,900 --> 01:10:15,700
clotted for their faith.
Yeah.
1187
01:10:15,700 --> 01:10:17,800
None of them received.
What they've been promised last
1188
01:10:17,800 --> 01:10:21,300
verse of chapter 11 since God
had planned?
1189
01:10:21,300 --> 01:10:23,200
God had a purpose and all of
this pain.
1190
01:10:23,200 --> 01:10:26,000
All the things was happening.
Got in playing something better.
1191
01:10:26,600 --> 01:10:28,500
There we come.
The Picture for us.
1192
01:10:29,000 --> 01:10:31,200
These people didn't live through
the promise, they're still
1193
01:10:31,200 --> 01:10:33,900
looking forward to it and they
the will was worthy what they
1194
01:10:33,900 --> 01:10:36,400
did there fighting for the
things of God, but never
1195
01:10:36,400 --> 01:10:40,400
received it because of us.
Now, we enter the picture.
1196
01:10:40,700 --> 01:10:45,300
So that only together with us,
these ancients of Faith would be
1197
01:10:45,300 --> 01:10:48,900
made perfect with.
This is simply saying, is this
1198
01:10:49,200 --> 01:10:51,300
not Kingdom?
We talked about that, that city
1199
01:10:51,300 --> 01:10:54,500
of fountains member and
architecture was God and the
1200
01:10:54,500 --> 01:10:57,100
Builder, was God?
Why hasn't that come yet?
1201
01:10:58,400 --> 01:11:00,300
Why are we in the city of
fountains?
1202
01:11:00,800 --> 01:11:04,600
What, why are we there yet?
And the simple answer is this
1203
01:11:05,400 --> 01:11:08,000
because God wants us.
Amen.
1204
01:11:08,800 --> 01:11:14,300
He wants us, he is patiently
enduring all this in all the
1205
01:11:14,300 --> 01:11:18,700
chaos, all the Brokenness, all
the things so that we could know
1206
01:11:18,700 --> 01:11:22,200
him and together with these
ancient of faith, we get to
1207
01:11:22,200 --> 01:11:26,000
fulfill the promise, same in the
God wants us to know him.
1208
01:11:26,100 --> 01:11:27,500
Think of second Peter 3.
Nine.
1209
01:11:27,500 --> 01:11:30,400
This is put this in your heart,
in your mind.
1210
01:11:30,900 --> 01:11:33,700
It says this, the Lord is not
slow, in keeping his promise as
1211
01:11:33,700 --> 01:11:36,800
some understand slowness.
Instead, he is patient with you
1212
01:11:36,900 --> 01:11:39,700
not wanting anyone to perish,
but everyone to come to
1213
01:11:39,900 --> 01:11:42,300
repentance.
What is simply saying, is this,
1214
01:11:42,400 --> 01:11:43,900
is that everything up to this
point?
1215
01:11:43,900 --> 01:11:47,300
Every moment in time is created
for this exact moment for you to
1216
01:11:47,300 --> 01:11:48,900
know Jesus.
Amen.
1217
01:11:49,800 --> 01:11:52,000
Everything is pointed to this
right now.
1218
01:11:52,400 --> 01:11:57,600
This intersection for you to
know God to tippity part of the
1219
01:11:57,608 --> 01:12:01,900
story of God, either comes a day
when you don't need Faith.
1220
01:12:02,900 --> 01:12:04,400
There comes a day when your
faith becomes side.
1221
01:12:04,400 --> 01:12:08,800
Amen, we need to put your hands
and put your head into the found
1222
01:12:08,800 --> 01:12:10,300
of God's.
Come on, somebody.
1223
01:12:10,600 --> 01:12:13,400
You to walk on the streets of
gold where you don't have oil
1224
01:12:13,400 --> 01:12:15,400
slicks because your car breaks
down, come on.
1225
01:12:15,500 --> 01:12:18,600
You don't change flat tires and
Heaven into the centerpiece is
1226
01:12:18,600 --> 01:12:22,400
Jesus and you fall before God,
and you just dry out and
1227
01:12:22,400 --> 01:12:24,300
thankful heart broken before
him.
1228
01:12:24,300 --> 01:12:26,100
Thank you, Jesus.
Thank you.
1229
01:12:26,100 --> 01:12:26,700
Jesus.
Sis.
1230
01:12:26,700 --> 01:12:28,300
This is why I lived a life of
faith.
1231
01:12:28,400 --> 01:12:31,000
My faith has now become site.
Amen.
1232
01:12:32,000 --> 01:12:35,300
Every day by faith, believing
that God is right here.
1233
01:12:35,300 --> 01:12:36,500
Next, use the air.
I breathe.
1234
01:12:36,600 --> 01:12:39,900
He's in the moments.
He's here with us.
1235
01:12:40,100 --> 01:12:42,400
It's a manual means God With Us.
Jesus is name.
1236
01:12:42,400 --> 01:12:46,200
Alone means he is with you.
But think about this, God did
1237
01:12:46,200 --> 01:12:48,000
not just die and his mom was
created.
1238
01:12:48,000 --> 01:12:51,000
Just so, you know him.
He's also created so that others
1239
01:12:51,000 --> 01:12:55,300
can know him as well, a man, so
you can know him and make him
1240
01:12:55,600 --> 01:12:57,400
known.
So, you weren't great to be
1241
01:12:57,400 --> 01:12:58,400
silent.
Amen.
1242
01:13:00,600 --> 01:13:04,000
There's no faith in silence.
Now, in fact, they call a sin of
1243
01:13:04,000 --> 01:13:06,400
Silence.
There's a lot of good people
1244
01:13:06,700 --> 01:13:11,100
that believe in God, that sits
silent but there's very few men
1245
01:13:11,100 --> 01:13:16,000
and women that the boldness and
courage to step out and open
1246
01:13:16,000 --> 01:13:17,500
their mouths for the glory of
God.
1247
01:13:17,500 --> 01:13:20,800
Amen.
And that's what's 123 is, it is
1248
01:13:20,800 --> 01:13:24,000
the year where we break
boundaries, it's the year we we
1249
01:13:24,000 --> 01:13:28,100
come out with our faith.
If there is a were done hiding
1250
01:13:28,200 --> 01:13:30,300
in the corners, we're done being
pushed.
1251
01:13:30,400 --> 01:13:33,700
It back on and being down.
I no longer afraid the King.
1252
01:13:33,700 --> 01:13:36,500
Come on somebody, the lowercase
k, right?
1253
01:13:36,900 --> 01:13:40,200
I'm gonna walk in the glory of
God and we made a faith person
1254
01:13:40,200 --> 01:13:41,900
has Faith uncle in Beijing.
I think about it.
1255
01:13:41,900 --> 01:13:44,900
Amen.
It's make a post this and be
1256
01:13:44,900 --> 01:13:46,900
cancelled culture, our church
come outside, right?
1257
01:13:47,400 --> 01:13:50,300
And I don't care, I keep telling
Dynamic retread, I'm like a
1258
01:13:50,300 --> 01:13:53,000
relic I'm like that old school
leftover man of Faith.
1259
01:13:53,000 --> 01:13:55,200
Like it's just there, I'm just
being pushed into a corner all
1260
01:13:55,200 --> 01:13:58,400
the time and then he culture and
Society, it's like just like
1261
01:13:58,400 --> 01:14:01,100
what an outdated thing.
What is not outdated, it's
1262
01:14:01,100 --> 01:14:05,100
really man, and we get to, we
got to live it out, we got to
1263
01:14:05,100 --> 01:14:07,600
live it out, not being rude or
pushing down on people.
1264
01:14:07,700 --> 01:14:10,600
We love people to Jesus.
We don't expect them all to
1265
01:14:10,608 --> 01:14:13,200
understand that our soldiers
were foreigners.
1266
01:14:13,400 --> 01:14:17,400
In this country, we transcend
our culture where generation
1267
01:14:17,500 --> 01:14:20,000
that the world wasn't worthy of
that should be our generation.
1268
01:14:20,000 --> 01:14:21,800
A men should put a sign above
the door.
1269
01:14:21,800 --> 01:14:24,100
The world is not worthy.
That's what kind of men and
1270
01:14:24,100 --> 01:14:25,200
women are.
Its kind of children.
1271
01:14:25,200 --> 01:14:28,200
We raise, we didn't limit the
call of God willing to a chair.
1272
01:14:28,200 --> 01:14:31,200
Then charted territory with took
grounds the gospel, we broke
1273
01:14:31,200 --> 01:14:32,900
barriers, not because we're
perfect.
1274
01:14:32,900 --> 01:14:35,800
We're forgiven.
And we're faith-filled for
1275
01:14:35,800 --> 01:14:39,000
Jesus, Michelle, Knight
scripture or out of here, but
1276
01:14:39,000 --> 01:14:40,500
this is.
You think about the guiding your
1277
01:14:40,500 --> 01:14:42,900
face.
Now, your spiritual life taking
1278
01:14:42,900 --> 01:14:45,800
off Cutting out the voices
fueled by the power of prayer
1279
01:14:45,800 --> 01:14:48,000
marked by prayer and unchartered
territory.
1280
01:14:48,100 --> 01:14:50,800
This is the passage for you.
It's Hebrews. 12 verse 1,
1281
01:14:50,800 --> 01:14:54,000
through 3 and it says, simply
says this, therefore, which is
1282
01:14:54,000 --> 01:14:56,300
referring back to everything we
just said, he was loving, right?
1283
01:14:56,500 --> 01:14:59,100
Because all these Great Men of
Faith, all these stories since
1284
01:14:59,100 --> 01:15:01,600
we are surrounded by such a
great cloud of witnesses, let us
1285
01:15:01,600 --> 01:15:04,300
throw off everything that
hinders and the sin that so
1286
01:15:04,300 --> 01:15:08,700
easily entangles, and let us run
with perseverance, the race
1287
01:15:08,700 --> 01:15:13,700
marked out for us.
It was a race for you, the Jesus
1288
01:15:13,700 --> 01:15:16,900
is marked out and you're called
by faith to run that race like
1289
01:15:16,900 --> 01:15:21,300
pushing to the Gates of Hell to
pick up the laid-back lasered
1290
01:15:21,300 --> 01:15:23,900
better, recliner and put up and
just get rid of it and move
1291
01:15:23,900 --> 01:15:26,900
forward to things of God, Amen.
You have race.
1292
01:15:27,100 --> 01:15:31,300
They running towards fixing our
eyes on, Jesus might be the
1293
01:15:31,300 --> 01:15:33,900
greatest part of that passage.
You're looking at Christ the
1294
01:15:33,907 --> 01:15:37,400
entire time, the Pioneer and
Perfecter of faith for the joy
1295
01:15:37,400 --> 01:15:39,400
set, before Jesus, he endured
the cross.
1296
01:15:39,400 --> 01:15:42,000
Scorning its shame.
He sat down at the right hand of
1297
01:15:42,008 --> 01:15:44,500
the Throne of God.
If you want your year and your
1298
01:15:44,500 --> 01:15:46,800
life to make a difference, this
is the virtue better putting
1299
01:15:46,800 --> 01:15:49,900
hard because there's hard times
and difficult seasons and says,
1300
01:15:49,900 --> 01:15:54,600
verse 3 says, considered Jesus
who endured such opposition from
1301
01:15:54,600 --> 01:16:00,300
Sinners, that you will not grow
weary and lose heart, if you
1302
01:16:00,300 --> 01:16:03,500
want to give up, you look no
further than the cross of Jesus,
1303
01:16:03,800 --> 01:16:06,600
because it was worth, Jesus
going all the way for us
1304
01:16:06,700 --> 01:16:09,400
splitting every ounce of his
blood so that we could know him.
1305
01:16:09,500 --> 01:16:12,500
It is worth me spending every
ounce of my blood to serve him.
1306
01:16:12,500 --> 01:16:16,400
Amen.
This is called God by faith.
1307
01:16:16,400 --> 01:16:18,100
We live our life.
You want your life the matter
1308
01:16:18,400 --> 01:16:21,100
Bill live it by faith not by
sight father.
1309
01:16:21,100 --> 01:16:25,300
Come before you better pray for
a generation of transcended.
1310
01:16:25,300 --> 01:16:30,400
People gather put you first
before of faith today, my
1311
01:16:30,400 --> 01:16:32,300
favorite group people that's in
the house and those are seen it.
1312
01:16:32,300 --> 01:16:35,900
What I know Jesus, but today I
recognize that one playing it
1313
01:16:35,900 --> 01:16:39,300
safe I've been playing inside of
a box territory babe.
1314
01:16:39,300 --> 01:16:42,400
I said Moses rules made my limit
of my own smaller faith of the
1315
01:16:42,407 --> 01:16:44,100
day.
I'll have Faith in God.
1316
01:16:44,400 --> 01:16:47,000
I'll be transcended person.
I would take ground.
1317
01:16:47,000 --> 01:16:48,600
I'll be that person for my
family.
1318
01:16:48,800 --> 01:16:51,000
I mean, I personally where God
calls me to go, I'm going to
1319
01:16:51,000 --> 01:16:54,900
live a life of great faith,
transcend in my culture.
1320
01:16:55,000 --> 01:16:58,000
And I've been weary, I've been
broken and I realized that they
1321
01:16:58,000 --> 01:16:59,600
are looking at Jesus and he went
all for me.
1322
01:16:59,600 --> 01:17:02,000
So I'm going all for him and
that you day, we just put your
1323
01:17:02,000 --> 01:17:02,800
hand high and say, you know
what?
1324
01:17:02,800 --> 01:17:04,600
That's me.
I'm a big faith today.
1325
01:17:04,600 --> 01:17:07,200
I'm gonna go all in for Jesus.
I'm a live on faith as hands.
1326
01:17:07,200 --> 01:17:09,900
All across this room.
I'll pray for your father.
1327
01:17:09,900 --> 01:17:13,100
You see the hands got, make us
to generation, but the world.
1328
01:17:13,300 --> 01:17:15,000
Wasn't worthy.
Let us get to heaven.
1329
01:17:15,000 --> 01:17:17,000
One day.
There was Chariots of Fire and
1330
01:17:17,000 --> 01:17:19,900
that generation does the
generation that stood up took
1331
01:17:19,900 --> 01:17:21,800
round back.
It was afraid.
1332
01:17:21,900 --> 01:17:25,600
Most Fearless the culture.
So God gives the boldness and
1333
01:17:25,608 --> 01:17:29,800
the courage because we put our
face to your face, the face into
1334
01:17:29,800 --> 01:17:32,900
the Bible, and we saw you face
to face and humble ourselves.
1335
01:17:33,300 --> 01:17:36,600
We walk by faith, not by sight.
We pray for one more group
1336
01:17:36,600 --> 01:17:37,300
people.
That's those.
1337
01:17:37,300 --> 01:17:40,500
You that walked in the day and
say, no, I'm a man of no faith.
1338
01:17:40,900 --> 01:17:43,000
I'm a woman of faith.
I came in with very little faith
1339
01:17:43,000 --> 01:17:45,600
that Nice face.
But today, I recognize that
1340
01:17:45,600 --> 01:17:49,800
Jesus is patiently waiting for
me at this moment.
1341
01:17:49,800 --> 01:17:53,900
In time is not an accident that
somebody brought me here and it
1342
01:17:53,900 --> 01:17:55,700
took faith in them.
Invite me.
1343
01:17:56,300 --> 01:17:58,400
And that they brought me into
the word of God and I hear the
1344
01:17:58,400 --> 01:18:00,100
voice of God speaking to me
today.
1345
01:18:00,100 --> 01:18:03,500
I want to know Jesus, oh, no,
the Father, the author, and the
1346
01:18:03,508 --> 01:18:06,000
finisher of Faith.
I'll be in that city of
1347
01:18:06,000 --> 01:18:07,600
fountains one day and that's
you.
1348
01:18:07,600 --> 01:18:10,400
And you want Jesus.
We forgiven made new set free.
1349
01:18:10,800 --> 01:18:12,400
If that's you just raise your
hand high as I need.
1350
01:18:12,400 --> 01:18:14,200
Jesus a day.
Don't put your hand in the
1351
01:18:14,200 --> 01:18:15,600
place.
I'm gonna call you out, making
1352
01:18:15,600 --> 01:18:17,600
weird with you.
Jesus, come on.
1353
01:18:18,500 --> 01:18:19,500
That's you just prayed his
prayers.
1354
01:18:19,500 --> 01:18:25,100

Amen, come on.
Let's give up for God today.

Let me know you love them.
Come on.
1365
01:18:49,600 --> 01:18:53,200
I mean, if you prayed that
prayer, we are so excited for
1366
01:18:53,200 --> 01:18:55,300
you this week and I just want
you to know that's not the end
1367
01:18:55,300 --> 01:18:56,800
of your journey.
In fact, it's quite the
1368
01:18:56,800 --> 01:18:59,300
opposite.
It's the beginning and all of
1369
01:18:59,300 --> 01:19:01,100
Heaven is rejoicing for you
right now.
1370
01:19:01,100 --> 01:19:02,900
So I want to give you some
action steps.
1371
01:19:03,100 --> 01:19:06,000
If that's you, I want to invite
you to get your phone out and
1372
01:19:06,000 --> 01:19:10,700
text are L next to 97,000, and
when you do that, we just want
1373
01:19:10,700 --> 01:19:12,700
to hit you up with some
resources this week.
1374
01:19:12,700 --> 01:19:15,600
And just just be available to
answer any questions you might
1375
01:19:15,600 --> 01:19:18,400
have about that next step of
your journey, something else you
1376
01:19:18,400 --> 01:19:20,700
could do on your way out.
Out of the worship center today
1377
01:19:20,700 --> 01:19:23,800
is that the back table you can
grab a red bag and in that bag
1378
01:19:23,800 --> 01:19:25,500
is a Bible, we just encourage
you.
1379
01:19:25,500 --> 01:19:28,600
Dive in Hebrews, would be a
really cool place to start, just
1380
01:19:28,600 --> 01:19:31,100
kind of following along with
that message today.
1381
01:19:31,100 --> 01:19:34,200
And again, there's just even
more resources in there for you
1382
01:19:34,200 --> 01:19:36,400
this week.
You know, Shawn really called us
1383
01:19:36,400 --> 01:19:40,700
this morning, to live a life,
just transcended by faith.
1384
01:19:40,700 --> 01:19:43,100
And we just one of the coolest
ways we can do that.
1385
01:19:43,100 --> 01:19:45,600
Most practical ways is just to
say, we're not going to be
1386
01:19:45,600 --> 01:19:47,700
silent anymore.
So I want you to look on your
1387
01:19:47,700 --> 01:19:49,000
chair, you're going to see a red
card.
1388
01:19:49,000 --> 01:19:52,700
That looks like, So that's just
a really practical cool tool
1389
01:19:52,800 --> 01:19:54,200
that you can have in Your
Arsenal.
1390
01:19:54,200 --> 01:19:56,400
This week is your talking to
people you can hand this to
1391
01:19:56,400 --> 01:19:59,000
someone and just say, hey, you
know, here's where I go, here's
1392
01:19:59,000 --> 01:20:02,000
where I worship each week and
get connected, and I just want
1393
01:20:02,000 --> 01:20:04,500
to invite you to come out and
join me, sometime and meet some
1394
01:20:04,500 --> 01:20:08,300
people who God and just people
that are here for you and you're
1395
01:20:08,300 --> 01:20:10,600
going to know Jesus.
You're going to hear about your
1396
01:20:10,600 --> 01:20:13,600
purpose and all that good stuff.
What's cool about these cards?
1397
01:20:13,600 --> 01:20:18,000
There prayed over each week by
the real-life staff and I just
1398
01:20:18,000 --> 01:20:21,000
encourage you to also add to
that and pray over these cards
1399
01:20:21,000 --> 01:20:23,900
yourself this week and just pray
that God will put people in your
1400
01:20:23,900 --> 01:20:25,800
brain that you could be talking
to.
1401
01:20:25,800 --> 01:20:29,300
And just if you really want to
pulled prayer, you can say, God
1402
01:20:29,300 --> 01:20:32,500
bring people in front of my path
this week that I can talk to.
1403
01:20:32,500 --> 01:20:35,900
So I said, courage, you to be
inviting people out, bringing
1404
01:20:35,900 --> 01:20:40,000
people out and that you will be
bold by faith this week, man.
1405
01:20:40,200 --> 01:20:42,800
One of the things I love about
our church is just how generous
1406
01:20:43,000 --> 01:20:45,500
you guys are.
And, and you really set the pace
1407
01:20:45,500 --> 01:20:49,400
and 2020 2022 and already here
at the beginning of this year.
1408
01:20:49,700 --> 01:20:51,200
One of the really cool ways
you've done that.
1409
01:20:51,200 --> 01:20:54,200
So our Hope Center, and I'm
super excited to announce that
1410
01:20:54,200 --> 01:20:57,500
we're going to really get to
minister to the real-life youth.
1411
01:20:57,500 --> 01:21:01,900
As they get to take over and
really own that Hope Center on
1412
01:21:01,900 --> 01:21:05,200
Sunday night starting.
February 19th, can we give it a
1413
01:21:05,208 --> 01:21:08,700
big for a real-life youth for
all the adults that serve and
1414
01:21:08,700 --> 01:21:12,600
just love on these kids, man,
it's going to be awesome to have
1415
01:21:12,600 --> 01:21:15,900
that anchor space that home.
They can just call their own
1416
01:21:16,100 --> 01:21:18,400
each and every week not putting
anybody else out.
1417
01:21:18,400 --> 01:21:20,400
And so we're just excited for
that.
1418
01:21:20,400 --> 01:21:21,800
And hey, that doesn't just
happen.
1419
01:21:21,800 --> 01:21:24,100
That's because of your
generosity.
1420
01:21:24,100 --> 01:21:27,300
And I want to invite you to play
a part of generosity at real
1421
01:21:27,300 --> 01:21:28,800
life, not just for our real-life
youth.
1422
01:21:28,800 --> 01:21:31,400
But for all the other
Ministries, all the other goals
1423
01:21:31,400 --> 01:21:34,500
that we have here to reach our
community for Christ.
1424
01:21:34,500 --> 01:21:37,600
And so, of course, I'm talking
to people who call real life
1425
01:21:37,600 --> 01:21:38,700
home.
If you're brand new with us
1426
01:21:38,700 --> 01:21:41,700
today, welcome home.
We love having you here, but I'm
1427
01:21:41,700 --> 01:21:43,900
not going to call you to
generosity just yet.
1428
01:21:43,900 --> 01:21:47,300
In fact, this Gathering was our
gift to you, but if you do call
1429
01:21:47,300 --> 01:21:48,600
real life home, here's some
ways.
1430
01:21:48,600 --> 01:21:52,000
You can play a part.
Real Life Church kc.com you can
1431
01:21:52,008 --> 01:21:55,400
text any amount 8, 4 3, 2 1.
We have a giving box in the very
1432
01:21:55,400 --> 01:21:58,800
back where you can drop off
envelopes cash, things like that
1433
01:21:58,800 --> 01:22:01,800
and then our Usher's going to be
coming by with the giving
1434
01:22:01,800 --> 01:22:03,300
baskets and hey the giving
buckets.
1435
01:22:03,300 --> 01:22:07,500
I should say, hey if you find
yourself immediately in need of
1436
01:22:07,600 --> 01:22:10,100
food, clothing or shelter, we
just invite you to go ahead and
1437
01:22:10,100 --> 01:22:12,700
reach in those buckets as they
go by finding a loose cash.
1438
01:22:12,700 --> 01:22:16,700
You see, and use that to bless
you and your family this week.
1439
01:22:16,700 --> 01:22:19,200
One more exciting thing I want
you to check out this video as
1440
01:22:19,200 --> 01:22:20,700
you.
A little bit more about
1441
01:22:20,700 --> 01:22:22,200
missions.
Check it out.
1442
01:22:31,400 --> 01:22:34,900
I want to give you a quick
update on how your generosity is
1443
01:22:34,900 --> 01:22:37,300
making a difference across the
world.
1444
01:22:37,300 --> 01:22:40,900
Through one of our global
missions Partners in Colombia
1445
01:22:40,900 --> 01:22:45,400
South America.
The eec or Escuela de
1446
01:22:45,500 --> 01:22:51,100
entrenamiento Cristiano is a in
Residence discipleship training
1447
01:22:51,100 --> 01:22:54,300
school where they take young
people and put them into groups
1448
01:22:54,300 --> 01:22:57,600
of small verbs, one-on-one, and
life on life, discipleship.
1449
01:22:57,600 --> 01:23:02,300
That is changing the landscape
of Columbia for Jesus under the
1450
01:23:02,300 --> 01:23:05,700
leadership of you go and Juliana
Rodriguez.
1451
01:23:05,700 --> 01:23:09,600
The EC is a place where young
people can know God, they can
1452
01:23:09,600 --> 01:23:12,300
learn how to follow him and
ultimately they can become
1453
01:23:12,300 --> 01:23:15,000
leaders for the cause of Christ
in Colombia.
1454
01:23:15,200 --> 01:23:18,600
Many young people are at a
Crossroads in their life and the
1455
01:23:18,600 --> 01:23:23,100
EC helps them to come together
with God to say, what does my
1456
01:23:23,100 --> 01:23:24,900
life look like?
And it's truly a
1457
01:23:24,900 --> 01:23:27,500
transformational place where
they can connect to the heart of
1458
01:23:27,500 --> 01:23:29,800
God.
You go shared with me recently
1459
01:23:29,800 --> 01:23:33,000
that the work that we did.
Last summer has allowed he and
1460
01:23:33,000 --> 01:23:36,800
his family to move on site at
the school and it's just been a
1461
01:23:36,808 --> 01:23:39,500
huge blessing for his family.
Not to travel back and forth
1462
01:23:39,500 --> 01:23:41,900
across the country while school
is in and out of session.
1463
01:23:41,900 --> 01:23:45,300
And he also shared, they are so
excited because they've been
1464
01:23:45,300 --> 01:23:48,800
able to add three full-time and
one part-time staff member to
1465
01:23:48,800 --> 01:23:50,800
help lead the school and they
are.
1466
01:23:50,800 --> 01:23:53,500
So expecting about all God is
going to do in their next
1467
01:23:53,500 --> 01:23:56,400
session which actually starts on
February 17.
1468
01:23:56,500 --> 01:23:59,700
When you give a real life, you
are a part of making a
1469
01:23:59,708 --> 01:24:04,100
difference through the See, not
just in Bogota, But ultimately
1470
01:24:04,100 --> 01:24:06,400
across the world.
As many young people are making
1471
01:24:06,400 --> 01:24:09,100
decisions to become Church
Planters and work in the
1472
01:24:09,100 --> 01:24:12,600
ministry across the world.
So to all of you who give we
1473
01:24:12,600 --> 01:24:15,800
thank you today.
Some of you are thinking about
1474
01:24:15,800 --> 01:24:18,900
breaking through the limits of
this world has placed on you,
1475
01:24:19,100 --> 01:24:21,700
maybe you're ready to take a big
step of faith in something that
1476
01:24:21,700 --> 01:24:24,200
God is calling you to.
And so I want to challenge you
1477
01:24:24,200 --> 01:24:28,400
that today, maybe that big step
is to go with us to Colombia
1478
01:24:28,400 --> 01:24:30,400
this year.
I'm from August fit through a
1479
01:24:30,400 --> 01:24:32,900
lemon three.
Life is taking a team down to
1480
01:24:32,900 --> 01:24:36,500
connect with the eec team to
encourage their leadership and
1481
01:24:36,500 --> 01:24:39,800
ultimately to see what God will
do in the lives of us.
1482
01:24:39,800 --> 01:24:42,900
When we're fully surrendered to
him to find out more, you can
1483
01:24:42,900 --> 01:24:45,100
join us for a short
informational meeting on
1484
01:24:45,100 --> 01:24:48,600
February 5th right after the
second Gathering here at
1485
01:24:48,600 --> 01:24:52,300
Kentucky Trail.
God changes the world one person
1486
01:24:52,300 --> 01:24:56,500
at a time and I believe that he
wants to use you to make a big
1487
01:24:56,500 --> 01:24:59,100
impact across our world this
summer.
1488
01:24:59,500 --> 01:25:02,300
Some of you are going to
experience Since God in a whole
1489
01:25:02,300 --> 01:25:06,500
new way, this summer and I can't
wait to see how God can use your
1490
01:25:06,500 --> 01:25:09,700
life to impact generations to
come.
1491
01:25:09,900 --> 01:25:13,100
Keep going to see you next week
and in Columbia have a great
1492
01:25:13,100 --> 01:25:20,200
week, guys.
He's excited for Missions.
1493
01:25:21,100 --> 01:25:24,000
I remember it was a video just
like that last year that really
1494
01:25:24,000 --> 01:25:26,600
called on Brooke and I his heart
to a join the team in Columbia.
1495
01:25:26,600 --> 01:25:29,700
And so I would encourage you all
to Faithfully consider making
1496
01:25:29,700 --> 01:25:32,100
room in both your budget and
your calendar this year to join
1497
01:25:32,100 --> 01:25:35,200
our team down in Bogota.
So we'll be back next week,
1498
01:25:35,200 --> 01:25:37,400
9:30.
And 11:00 here, Kentucky Trail
1499
01:25:37,400 --> 01:25:40,300
and online.
If you do need to prayer for any
1500
01:25:40,300 --> 01:25:42,900
reason, we will have a team
member right here off the stage
1501
01:25:42,900 --> 01:25:46,400
and as always, whoever finds
Jesus discovers real life and
1502
01:25:46,400 --> 01:25:48,200
purpose.
Next week.
