you.
This morning.
57
00:17:08,900 --> 00:17:12,200
I got a challenge for he also,
if you're brand new, what would
58
00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:16,599
happen if you gave God these
next three Sundays to come on
59
00:17:16,599 --> 00:17:19,200
back to Real Life Church.
To click that link in?
60
00:17:19,500 --> 00:17:22,099
What could he just do in your
life?
61
00:17:22,099 --> 00:17:25,900
What relationships will you form
with other believers?
62
00:17:26,099 --> 00:17:29,000
What shrews from the Bible that
maybe you didn't know before?
63
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:31,600
Will he reveal to you?
Well, I don't know.
64
00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:33,400
And you won't know either,
unless you come back.
65
00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:36,700
Out the next three weeks, but
seriously, we'd love to see you
66
00:17:36,900 --> 00:17:40,200
and I hope the oldest think on
that of prey on that this
67
00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:42,500
afternoon.
Well, let me tell you a little
68
00:17:42,500 --> 00:17:46,200
bit more about Real Life Church.
We are a church on a mission and
69
00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:51,000
that mission is to see people
far from God discover their real
70
00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:54,700
life and purpose in Jesus.
And so another way we like to
71
00:17:54,700 --> 00:17:58,000
say that we're church for the
unchurched.
72
00:17:58,100 --> 00:18:01,900
So wherever you are on that
spectrum of you know, you've
73
00:18:01,900 --> 00:18:05,000
been a Believer for a Year's A
relationship with God in the
74
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:06,800
word every day.
You're just looking for a church
75
00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:10,100
home all the way to.
I have no clue what the Bible
76
00:18:10,100 --> 00:18:11,300
says.
I couldn't find a book.
77
00:18:11,300 --> 00:18:14,400
If you ask me to, I've heard of
Jesus, don't know a lot about
78
00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:18,300
him wherever you fall.
On that Spectrum, you're in the
79
00:18:18,300 --> 00:18:20,400
right place.
You're in the right place.
80
00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:23,600
You don't have to know a lot to
be here.
81
00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:26,100
A real-life Church.
You'll fit right in with several
82
00:18:26,100 --> 00:18:27,600
of us.
And that's okay.
83
00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:30,200
I just encourage you to be
thinking about the people in
84
00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:35,000
your life that are close to you,
but far from God, what just
85
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:39,200
impact that God can have on
their life, and their journey
86
00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:42,300
and their real life and purpose
and you invited them out,
87
00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:45,300
sometime this fall, that would
be huge.
88
00:18:45,300 --> 00:18:49,700
So again, thanks for being here.
You know, I have a question for
89
00:18:49,700 --> 00:18:54,600
you who was super challenged
last week when we started the
90
00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:59,200
brand new series questions man,
I was challenge is really good.
91
00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:00,300
But, you know, it was really
cool.
92
00:19:00,500 --> 00:19:03,300
Coming out of, that was learning
that it's okay.
93
00:19:03,500 --> 00:19:07,000
When we have doubts, that God
invites them, right?
94
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:09,700
God just doesn't want us to be
aimless and all that Subway.
95
00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:12,700
We're gonna tackle something
deep today.
96
00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:15,900
Alright, so buckle in and it's
going to be another challenging,
97
00:19:16,700 --> 00:19:19,000
a challenging message today, but
I know you're going to leave
98
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:23,600
here filled with hope and maybe
even a few more questions.
99
00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:26,200
So these are the kind of
questions that we hide from
100
00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:29,900
people that we've been wrestling
with and Shawn just gonna just
101
00:19:29,900 --> 00:19:32,500
take us on a deep dive today.
So I want you to lean in.
102
00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:35,700
Listen to what he To say coming.
Come at this with an open heart
103
00:19:35,700 --> 00:19:37,800
and mind give it up for pastor.
Sean.
104
00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:39,300
Petry has?
He died.
105
00:19:39,300 --> 00:19:42,000
Listen to what's beyond this
life.
106
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:42,800
Give it up for.
Sean.
107
00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:44,800
Come on.
He's got a word.
108
00:19:46,300 --> 00:19:49,000
That's why I drew this guy.
A spiritual we use.
109
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:52,500
I'm telling you every Sunday.
So he puts all spiritual we so.
110
00:19:52,700 --> 00:19:54,000
Hey, thanks for being house

111
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:55,900
I'm really excited to see what
God's going to do.
112
00:19:56,300 --> 00:19:58,500
You guys decide to go back to
school, send the kids off.
113
00:19:58,500 --> 00:20:01,300
Come on one person.
That's cool.
114
00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:03,400
Love it.
They're like man.
115
00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:06,800

00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:08,900

00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:13,100

137
00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:00,900
Just helping people especially

148
00:21:28,700 --> 00:21:30,100
Drew, these are all people.
You've been training.
149
00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:32,100
So second person.
She doesn't serve into the
150
00:21:32,100 --> 00:21:35,100
second Gathering, but just
completely gifted for people get
151
00:21:35,100 --> 00:21:37,000
to evangelism.
When Jesus talks about leave the
152
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:39,700
99 and go find the one.
She literally took that
153
00:21:39,700 --> 00:21:42,200
seriously and went to find the
one like she goes out.
154
00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:43,600
To people brings them every
week.
155
00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:44,700
She served she's looking for
somebody.
156
00:21:44,700 --> 00:21:47,300
She's invited is incredible.
And so I don't know if she's in
157
00:21:47,300 --> 00:21:50,200
the house, don't think she is.
But Rochelle Morlock, come on,

lover.
159

Very very gifted for people.
It's just sort of centime just

00:21:56,800 --> 00:21:58,300

00:21:58,500 --> 00:22:00,800
May God's doing cool stuff and I
can't believe I'm saying this
162
00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:04,200
but return for years old next
month and we need to celebrate
163
00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:05,800
with us, not be the same without
you.
164
00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:09,100
So Mark, the countdown is
September 26 on a Sunday, which
165
00:22:09,100 --> 00:22:10,400
is something very special
tradition.
166
00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:14,100
We always do on this birthday.
Sundae is we baptize people.
167
00:22:14,100 --> 00:22:16,900
So it's a baptism right here in
the front and I would encourage
168
00:22:16,900 --> 00:22:18,900
you.
This is so significant for your
169
00:22:18,900 --> 00:22:22,300
spiritual life and for us to the
church to see what God is doing.
170
00:22:22,300 --> 00:22:25,800
So, if I'm a decision for Jesus.
If you've raised your hand and
171
00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:28,600
said I'm all in for Jesus made
it, maybe you're a youth camp
172
00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:31,300
and came to Christ during the
kids area, maybe in a life
173
00:22:31,300 --> 00:22:34,600
group, maybe online, whatever,
and you've never been baptized.
174
00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:37,200
I would encourage you to go to
our website and just get signed
175
00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:38,300
up.
Even if you're not a hundred
176
00:22:38,300 --> 00:22:40,300
percent, sure you want to get
baptized because we're going to
177
00:22:40,300 --> 00:22:43,100
walk you through the process and
see if it's a fit for you and
178
00:22:43,100 --> 00:22:44,500
make sure you understand what
you're doing.
179
00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:46,100
So don't freak out.
Like we're just going to say,
180
00:22:46,100 --> 00:22:47,300
okay.
We'll see that Sunday.
181
00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:48,500
We want to help you through
that.
182
00:22:48,500 --> 00:22:50,700
It's just such a huge, huge
celebration.
183
00:22:50,700 --> 00:22:52,600
There's no better way to
celebrate with guys doing this.
184
00:22:52,800 --> 00:22:54,100
People's life changed.
Amen.
185
00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:56,700
And we're going to go, we're
going to hear ya.
186
00:22:57,700 --> 00:22:58,600
We're gonna get through this
morning.
187
00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:01,400
I'm telling you, we're going to
start slow by the way, cuz I
188
00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:03,700
know my message and we're going
to end really, really big.
189
00:23:03,700 --> 00:23:07,000
So I'm excited to get started.
This is a question series
190
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:10,400
questions while think about, but
seldom ask and so on.
191
00:23:10,408 --> 00:23:12,900
You guys, texting your questions
are all questions.
192
00:23:12,900 --> 00:23:15,300
Nice 7000.
And so many you guys texting
193
00:23:15,300 --> 00:23:17,700
questions last week.
It was awesome over 30 people.
194
00:23:17,900 --> 00:23:20,500
Some of the questions are crazy
like, is water wet.
195
00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:25,200
That was a good one, Drew.
I don't, he's not take a He's
196
00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:29,400
not allowed to answer shift, but
there's a lot of great questions
197
00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:31,900
and I had a great time on social
media, just diving, through,
198
00:23:31,900 --> 00:23:33,500
different questions, and answers
this week.
199
00:23:33,500 --> 00:23:36,500
I'm going to sit down at Diana
Tuesday at 1 o'clock and we'll
200
00:23:36,500 --> 00:23:39,000
be down at our lake house.
So you can check that out.
201
00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:40,500
I'll know.
Hopefully, they actually get
202
00:23:40,500 --> 00:23:42,500
better than my house.
So it will go better than last
203
00:23:42,500 --> 00:23:44,800
time and basis walk through your
questions.
204
00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:47,400
So text them in and then we're
going to get answers and help
205
00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:49,800
point you to resources and just
really just give me a spiritual
206
00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:51,900
encouragement.
So get your phones out all day
207
00:23:51,900 --> 00:23:53,700
long.
Well, today is a kind of a
208
00:23:53,700 --> 00:23:56,500
heavier question.
It's a more difficult question,
209
00:23:56,500 --> 00:24:00,000
is something you all think about
and very very often don't ask
210
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:02,600
and don't really want to think
about so we're start little slow
211
00:24:02,900 --> 00:24:05,100
and kind of build up.
But the question is this, what
212
00:24:05,100 --> 00:24:10,000
is beyond this life?
Like what happens when I die?
213
00:24:10,100 --> 00:24:12,800
What's all about, you know, to
guarantees in life, right?
214
00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:16,500
Death and taxes and you're going
to pay them both.
215
00:24:16,900 --> 00:24:18,200
It's going to happen.
Matt fact.
216
00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:20,400
Jesus said this way, in Hebrews
9:27.
217
00:24:20,500 --> 00:24:23,900
He said it's appointed unto men
once to die.
218
00:24:24,500 --> 00:24:26,500
There's no.
It meant that we all have with
219
00:24:26,500 --> 00:24:30,600
death whether we like or not or
what to be that way, that is
220
00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:33,900
reality, statistically proven
that you're going to die.
221
00:24:34,100 --> 00:24:38,000
Now unless you're like Elijah or
Enoch who didn't die.
222
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:39,900
Come on somebody, that'd be
really fun.
223
00:24:39,900 --> 00:24:42,200
Just skip that step.
But I know if it made up for
224
00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:45,100
with like Lazarus and other
people that were raised from the
225
00:24:45,100 --> 00:24:47,600
dead on, if it equals out
statistics, but there's no
226
00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:50,100
chance we're going to make it
without passing through to the
227
00:24:50,108 --> 00:24:52,200
other side.
And so what is death?
228
00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:54,800
All about, like what happens
when we die?
229
00:24:54,900 --> 00:24:57,900
Die for some of us, maybe
believe it may be just as the
230
00:24:57,900 --> 00:25:00,400
world teaches this.
But we believe Evolution and we
231
00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:03,300
kind of all by happened.
Chance, this came to being and
232
00:25:03,300 --> 00:25:05,800
then we die.
We just cease to exist.
233
00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:08,400
I've got people like that in my
family where they believe you
234
00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:10,500
just that's it.
It's just over and there's so
235
00:25:10,500 --> 00:25:13,000
many people in the world that
believe that do we do is a real
236
00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:15,400
heaven.
Is there a real hell like do I
237
00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:18,100
get to recognize people?
What it is?
238
00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:20,900
Is there like a medium place,
like Purgatory or do?
239
00:25:20,900 --> 00:25:24,600
We is it all for eternity or do
we or do we get annihilated like
240
00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:27,100
what?
Happens in eternity and there's
241
00:25:27,100 --> 00:25:29,600
all these questions around
death.
242
00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:32,200
All these thoughts and processes
now, it's going to start out by
243
00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:35,200
saying it's a hundred percent
natural to question, everything
244
00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:37,400
about death.
Now facts all hunters and Ashley
245
00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:40,400
have all the feelings about
death may be scared of death or
246
00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:42,500
be afraid of death and I
understand death.
247
00:25:42,500 --> 00:25:45,200
I mean death is very Bleak
obviously permanent.
248
00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:49,100
We've all stood at the edge of a
graveside and wondered what is
249
00:25:49,100 --> 00:25:52,400
on the other side.
And so today we often forget
250
00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:53,500
something that's very
significant.
251
00:25:53,500 --> 00:25:54,600
I think we're going to talk
about death.
252
00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:56,500
We To kind of start where death
started.
253
00:25:56,600 --> 00:25:59,100
We're going to go back to the
origin of death because
254
00:25:59,100 --> 00:26:02,300
oftentimes we forget there was a
time there wasn't death often
255
00:26:02,300 --> 00:26:04,100
times.
You forget that death wasn't the
256
00:26:04,100 --> 00:26:07,400
way there was actually a way
that wouldn't even lead to
257
00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:09,100
death.
Matter of fact, Adam and Eve
258
00:26:09,100 --> 00:26:11,300
were in the garden.
They walked face-to-face with
259
00:26:11,300 --> 00:26:14,300
God every single day, perfect
communion.
260
00:26:14,500 --> 00:26:17,100
They had conversations with the
maker.
261
00:26:17,300 --> 00:26:20,200
They had perfect Fellowship.
All things are put together,
262
00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:23,100
don't you to imagine would have
been, like, if Adam or Eve never
263
00:26:23,100 --> 00:26:24,800
sinned?
This is pretty awesome thought.
264
00:26:25,100 --> 00:26:27,900
You know, they were naked and
unashamed come all somebody and
265
00:26:27,900 --> 00:26:29,600
so they would have lived
forever.
266
00:26:29,900 --> 00:26:32,500
They would never sinned and have
had a death ever, lived forever.
267
00:26:32,500 --> 00:26:35,300
And so, if you think about their
kids would have been living
268
00:26:35,300 --> 00:26:38,200
forever, and their grandkids,
and all of humanity, and
269
00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:40,400
literally have been naked.
So, Jesus would have started the
270
00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:42,100
first nudist colony.
Come on somebody.
271
00:26:42,700 --> 00:26:43,900
I'm just it's biblical.
I did.
272
00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:46,000
I'm not making this up.
You should read the Bible.
273
00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:47,500
It's very selfish right there.
Genesis.
274
00:26:47,500 --> 00:26:50,900
Wanted to just read it yourself,
but look this there's no killing
275
00:26:51,100 --> 00:26:52,600
in the Bible.
Matter of fact, Adam and Eve
276
00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:54,200
were vegetarians.
Come on, where's the
277
00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:55,700
vegetarians?
And Now say Amen.
278
00:26:56,400 --> 00:26:57,600
Exactly.
Didn't think I was that kind of
279
00:26:57,600 --> 00:27:00,400
church.
Now, some of you are right, but
280
00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:01,900
it's all good, your super
healthy.
281
00:27:01,900 --> 00:27:04,200
You putting us to shame your
secret vegetarians.
282
00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:05,800
By the way.
Got some doubts about little
283
00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:06,400
shame.
It's okay.
284
00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:08,700
It's cool.
But there's no, killing not
285
00:27:08,700 --> 00:27:11,000
know, but nobody thought they're
all vegetarians that there is
286
00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:13,400
they live forever.
And I think about the animals,
287
00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:16,000
and they wouldn't fight.
And so there's actually like,
288
00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:20,200
none of this basically Primal
food chain that would occur.
289
00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:22,500
Matter of fact, we could get in
the ocean and won't be afraid to
290
00:27:22,500 --> 00:27:25,100
be eaten by a shark.
Come on somebody because it They
291
00:27:25,100 --> 00:27:26,600
did nothing attached to each
other.
292
00:27:26,700 --> 00:27:29,300
Like it was in Perfect Harmony,
all in unison.
293
00:27:29,300 --> 00:27:32,700
And verify this, what Isaiah
says about that time periods of
294
00:27:32,700 --> 00:27:34,500
Prophecy of the future, what it
would be like.
295
00:27:34,500 --> 00:27:36,600
That's actually a picture of the
garden as found.
296
00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:39,900
Isaiah 11:2 says, the wolf will
lay down with the lamb, like
297
00:27:39,900 --> 00:27:42,600
they won't kill each other.
Well the wolf not kill him, the
298
00:27:42,600 --> 00:27:44,600
leopard will lay down with the
goat, the calf, and The Lion,
299
00:27:44,600 --> 00:27:47,600
and the yearling together, and a
little child shall lead them.
300
00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:51,300
I love this, the cow will feed
with the bear, not feed the
301
00:27:51,300 --> 00:27:52,400
bear.
Come also by this little
302
00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:54,700
different head circle.
The word with, I don't mess that
303
00:27:54,700 --> 00:27:56,100
up.
Up and their young will lie.
304
00:27:56,100 --> 00:27:58,800
Together, lion will eat straw
like the ox infant will play
305
00:27:58,800 --> 00:28:01,900
near the cobras in the young.
Child will put his hand into the
306
00:28:01,900 --> 00:28:06,900
Viper's Nest when there's a time
period where death didn't exist.
307
00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:10,200
We often forget about this.
Go back to the very origin.
308
00:28:10,300 --> 00:28:13,100
We walked with God had perfect
communion.
309
00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:16,800
We're living forever, and then
send changed, everything.
310
00:28:16,900 --> 00:28:20,400
Matter of fact, it destroyed and
dismantled and brought death
311
00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:24,700
into our culture and our lives.
Matter of fact, that's weird.
312
00:28:24,900 --> 00:28:27,500
Most started fighting each other
and you had the top dog animals
313
00:28:27,500 --> 00:28:29,300
now about you.
I got a cat and a dog and they
314
00:28:29,300 --> 00:28:30,800
fight every day for the last six
years.
315
00:28:30,800 --> 00:28:33,300
Come on somebody.
And the cat always wins.
316
00:28:33,300 --> 00:28:35,500
Can you believe it?
So I know the Egyptians are
317
00:28:35,500 --> 00:28:37,300
probably do something.
They probably do something to my
318
00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:40,800
about this, but Romans 8 says
this about creation and sin.
319
00:28:40,800 --> 00:28:44,800
It says, we know the whole
creation has been groaning as in
320
00:28:44,800 --> 00:28:49,300
Pains of childbirth, right up to
this present time.
321
00:28:49,500 --> 00:28:53,500
So you send just affect us, it
affected, everything matter of
322
00:28:53,500 --> 00:28:55,900
fact, it infected.
Good creation.
323
00:28:55,900 --> 00:28:58,900
And that's what have tornadoes
and even just rain.
324
00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:02,400
And you have tsunamis, and
earthquakes and thunder, storms
325
00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:04,400
and hurricanes.
All this happened because
326
00:29:04,400 --> 00:29:08,800
creation is now battling with
itself because of sin.
327
00:29:09,100 --> 00:29:10,800
And so, when you think about
death, you think there's this
328
00:29:10,800 --> 00:29:12,500
nothing natural that feels about
like this.
329
00:29:12,500 --> 00:29:16,300
Not this smooth transition.
It's because it isn't, there's
330
00:29:16,300 --> 00:29:20,200
nothing natural about death.
That wasn't the original play.
331
00:29:20,400 --> 00:29:23,600
See there was a time where God
want us to be together with him
332
00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:26,500
and there was no sin.
There Is No Death come off, but
333
00:29:26,500 --> 00:29:29,100
there's no hearses.
There's no obituaries section
334
00:29:29,100 --> 00:29:31,800
the newspaper.
Come on, there's no green tents.
335
00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:34,600
There's no six-foot hole.
There's no casket.
336
00:29:34,600 --> 00:29:37,600
There's no tombstones my
preaching to somebody today.
337
00:29:38,100 --> 00:29:41,000
Come on this didn't exist.
This wasn't reality.
338
00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:43,900
And so we think about death it
is completely awkward and
339
00:29:43,900 --> 00:29:47,800
completely unnatural because is
the curse of sin that sin
340
00:29:47,800 --> 00:29:49,400
changed everything.
So I think there's go back to
341
00:29:49,408 --> 00:29:51,900
the beginning and take a look of
how the send Aaron is.
342
00:29:51,900 --> 00:29:54,900
In Genesis 3, if you've got your
Bible, it says this now The
343
00:29:54,900 --> 00:29:57,500
serpent was more crafty than any
of the wild animals.
344
00:29:57,500 --> 00:30:01,500
The Lord God had made, and he
said to the woman, did God,
345
00:30:01,500 --> 00:30:07,300
really say the first time that
Humanity begins to question God,
346
00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:09,800
like, in this, God, be trusted.
Did he really say that?
347
00:30:10,100 --> 00:30:13,500
Does he have my best in mind?
Could drive to believe God or
348
00:30:13,500 --> 00:30:17,200
should I should, I believe
myself in the same said you must
349
00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:18,300
not eat of any tree of the
garden.
350
00:30:18,300 --> 00:30:19,700
Did he really say that?
And the woman said to the
351
00:30:19,700 --> 00:30:22,900
serpent, we may eat fruit from
the Trees of the garden, but God
352
00:30:22,900 --> 00:30:24,700
did say she quoted.
Got she got it, right.
353
00:30:24,900 --> 00:30:26,900
Must not eat from the fruit in
the tree.
354
00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:29,600
There's in the middle of the
garden and you must not touch
355
00:30:29,600 --> 00:30:33,300
it, or you will die.
And Satan says this to Eve says,
356
00:30:33,500 --> 00:30:37,900
you will not certainly die.
This lie is planted into her
357
00:30:37,900 --> 00:30:39,800
mind.
The surface said, the woman for
358
00:30:39,800 --> 00:30:42,300
God knows that.
When you eat from it, your eyes
359
00:30:42,300 --> 00:30:47,000
will be opened and you will be
like God knowing good and evil.
360
00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:50,100
And for the first time
Humanities wondering does, God,
361
00:30:50,100 --> 00:30:54,100
have my best intentions in mind.
Can I trust God?
362
00:30:54,100 --> 00:30:56,800
It's got holes.
Wholesome back for me, is God,
363
00:30:56,800 --> 00:31:00,200
keeping the best away from me.
Can I really trust that?
364
00:31:00,300 --> 00:31:02,800
And when the woman saw, the
fruit of the tree was good for
365
00:31:02,800 --> 00:31:07,500
food and please the eye and also
desirable for gaining wisdom.
366
00:31:07,700 --> 00:31:10,100
All of a sudden she want to be
like God, she will know good and
367
00:31:10,100 --> 00:31:10,900
evil.
Before this.
368
00:31:10,900 --> 00:31:13,800
They had no idea about the
separation of Good and Evil.
369
00:31:13,900 --> 00:31:16,700
They just didn't exist.
There was no identity in sin.
370
00:31:16,900 --> 00:31:19,600
And so she took some a native,
and she gave some to her husband
371
00:31:19,700 --> 00:31:22,900
who was with her and he ate and
all of a sudden everything
372
00:31:22,900 --> 00:31:26,800
changed for us.
Is the beginning of the
373
00:31:26,800 --> 00:31:30,500
beginning, like for our story of
sin, all of a sudden our
374
00:31:30,500 --> 00:31:36,600
identity changed these words, I
me in mine in the dictionary.
375
00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:39,400
They didn't exist before this
matter of fact, Adam Eve look
376
00:31:39,400 --> 00:31:41,300
down.
Like I'm naked.
377
00:31:41,500 --> 00:31:43,600
All of a sudden, they realized
imperfections.
378
00:31:43,700 --> 00:31:46,900
They saw shame and they sawed
out this all anxiety and
379
00:31:46,900 --> 00:31:49,500
depression in guilt, and they
were good enough.
380
00:31:49,500 --> 00:31:50,900
And so they ran and hid
themselves.
381
00:31:50,900 --> 00:31:53,400
They built close hide parts of
their body.
382
00:31:53,600 --> 00:31:57,200
And then the saddest part.
The story hits, they hid and I
383
00:31:57,208 --> 00:32:01,800
ran from God for the first time
humanity turned his back on God,
384
00:32:01,800 --> 00:32:06,300
and ran from Jesus.
In the truth, is we're still
385
00:32:06,300 --> 00:32:09,600
running today.
This is the story of sin
386
00:32:09,600 --> 00:32:12,700
entering into the picture.
This is the first time death
387
00:32:12,700 --> 00:32:15,700
comes into the picture as well.
In Genesis 3, goes on to say,
388
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:18,300
this is God looking for Adam
after he's hidden.
389
00:32:18,700 --> 00:32:21,100
He said, where are you?
And the man said, the woman he
390
00:32:21,100 --> 00:32:25,200
put me here with all of a sudden
Adams like hey if you Make that
391
00:32:25,200 --> 00:32:26,800
woman.
It's your fault.
392
00:32:26,800 --> 00:32:30,100
God, if you didn't bring her
here, like I would never in that
393
00:32:30,100 --> 00:32:33,100
apple and she gave me some fruit
of the tree and I ate it.
394
00:32:33,100 --> 00:32:36,100
So it's my wife's fault because
they are married, that never
395
00:32:36,100 --> 00:32:38,900
gets in 2021, is my wife's
fault.
396
00:32:38,900 --> 00:32:41,800
It's my spouse's fault.
And the Lord said to the woman.
397
00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:43,200
What is it?
You have done.
398
00:32:43,300 --> 00:32:46,800
And the woman said it was the
serpent who deceived me and I
399
00:32:46,800 --> 00:32:50,600
ate it Satan baby do it.
Come on somebody, like she did
400
00:32:50,600 --> 00:32:53,100
make her own choice.
And so, lord said to Satan
401
00:32:53,100 --> 00:32:56,300
because you have done this.
Cursed, come on say the word
402
00:32:56,300 --> 00:33:00,800
cursed cursed, says cursed.
Are you above all livestock,
403
00:33:00,800 --> 00:33:03,000
talking to Satan?
All wild animals, you will crawl
404
00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:04,900
on your belly.
You either dust all days your
405
00:33:04,900 --> 00:33:08,100
life and I will put enmity
between you and the woman
406
00:33:08,300 --> 00:33:11,700
between your Offspring and hers
and he will crush your head and
407
00:33:11,700 --> 00:33:13,700
you will strike his heel.
Now.
408
00:33:13,700 --> 00:33:15,200
If you're like me, you're like,
I have no idea what you're
409
00:33:15,200 --> 00:33:17,000
talking about.
Right there, that this is the
410
00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:21,400
first mention of Jesus in the
Bible that fans of technical
411
00:33:21,400 --> 00:33:25,400
term for called protoevangelium.
The first evangelist the Gospel,
412
00:33:25,500 --> 00:33:27,900
this is the picture Jesus on.
I was going to stop for a sec
413
00:33:27,900 --> 00:33:30,200
because I love this, because the
first thing that happens when
414
00:33:30,200 --> 00:33:35,800
mankind, sins is that God makes
a solution to break the curse
415
00:33:35,800 --> 00:33:37,800
come, all somebody.
And so, if you look at this
416
00:33:37,800 --> 00:33:41,600
passage, what it's saying is
there's going to be a divide and
417
00:33:41,600 --> 00:33:45,600
evil between Mankind and Mankind
and Satan.
418
00:33:45,800 --> 00:33:48,600
He says your Offspring talking
to the woman, your Offspring
419
00:33:48,600 --> 00:33:51,600
being Jesus now Eva thought
that'd been like her first kid,
420
00:33:51,700 --> 00:33:53,800
you know, I mean, she's like
Jesus, like somebody's going to
421
00:33:53,808 --> 00:33:55,800
save us is gonna be the First
generation, we have some kids
422
00:33:55,800 --> 00:33:57,500
are going to change everything.
She had knows him like 50
423
00:33:57,500 --> 00:34:00,700
Generations later.
But this all spring is Jesus and
424
00:34:00,700 --> 00:34:02,900
says he will crush your head.
So I'm Not Jesus going to kill
425
00:34:02,900 --> 00:34:05,100
Satan.
Jesus can take him down but
426
00:34:05,100 --> 00:34:07,800
Satan will strike Jesus heal and
I don't have time to go into all
427
00:34:07,800 --> 00:34:10,900
the details of this passage.
But this is the first planting
428
00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:14,699
the first mention of the Gospel.
Never forget when we ran from
429
00:34:14,699 --> 00:34:17,400
God.
God Ran to us verse 16.
430
00:34:17,400 --> 00:34:19,699
The woman said to him.
I will make your pains in
431
00:34:19,699 --> 00:34:22,600
childbearing, very severe.
Thank you sin and with painful
432
00:34:22,600 --> 00:34:24,600
labor, you'll get burchard
children, yours.
433
00:34:24,800 --> 00:34:27,600
Before your husband, he'll roll
over you and to Adam because you
434
00:34:27,600 --> 00:34:29,400
listened to your wife and eight
from the fruit of the tree,
435
00:34:29,400 --> 00:34:32,500
which I command you.
You must not eat from it curse.
436
00:34:32,500 --> 00:34:36,300
Somebody say cursed.
Cursed is the ground because of
437
00:34:36,300 --> 00:34:39,600
you and through painful toil,
you will eat from it all the
438
00:34:39,600 --> 00:34:43,300
days of your life, their produce
thorns, and thistles for you and
439
00:34:43,300 --> 00:34:44,800
you'll eat the plants of the
field.
440
00:34:44,900 --> 00:34:47,900
But the, by the sweat of your
brow, you will eat your food and
441
00:34:47,900 --> 00:34:49,300
don't miss this.
Here's the first mention of
442
00:34:49,300 --> 00:34:53,900
death and the Bible until you
return to the ground and since
443
00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:58,700
from it you were taken for dust
you are and to dust you will
444
00:34:59,200 --> 00:35:02,600
return.
This is the first mention of sin
445
00:35:02,900 --> 00:35:06,500
entering This is broken a
relationship with God.
446
00:35:06,500 --> 00:35:09,900
We went from living forever in
perfect Fellowship.
447
00:35:09,900 --> 00:35:14,800
Face to face with Jesus like
perfect communion having perfect
448
00:35:14,800 --> 00:35:19,600
person.
No insecurities No Doubt's, no
449
00:35:19,600 --> 00:35:22,600
fear like doll.
No cancer.
450
00:35:23,100 --> 00:35:25,200
No death.
No rainy days.
451
00:35:25,200 --> 00:35:30,500
Come on somebody to living in a
cursed life from sin and all of
452
00:35:30,500 --> 00:35:32,100
a sudden were separated from
God.
453
00:35:32,300 --> 00:35:34,400
And this curse spread to all who
made, this is really Good news,
454
00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:36,400
you guys, I feel it right now.
I told you your start loading
455
00:35:36,400 --> 00:35:38,700
that skinny little just kind of
lower.
456
00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:42,500
Just one more verse.
Oh man, maybe to Romans. 5:12
457
00:35:42,500 --> 00:35:46,100
says this it says this therefore
just as Sin entered the world
458
00:35:46,100 --> 00:35:48,200
through one man.
That's Adam and death through
459
00:35:48,200 --> 00:35:50,400
sin.
And this way death came to all
460
00:35:50,400 --> 00:35:53,800
people, because all have sinned,
what it's saying is there's no
461
00:35:53,800 --> 00:35:59,700
innocent person that's in
permanently, permeated Humanity.
462
00:36:00,100 --> 00:36:03,400
Like there's no innocent person
anywhere because sin is infected
463
00:36:03,400 --> 00:36:06,800
every Person.
And so death is completely
464
00:36:06,800 --> 00:36:09,700
unsettling.
It's completely unnatural.
465
00:36:09,900 --> 00:36:12,100
So we think about death.
It's like, what should I think
466
00:36:12,100 --> 00:36:14,200
about it?
Like, this is a result of a
467
00:36:14,207 --> 00:36:17,900
consequence this result of evil.
This result of us being
468
00:36:17,900 --> 00:36:21,100
separated from God.
And so for us, they have to ask
469
00:36:21,100 --> 00:36:24,200
the question.
What is beyond this life, the
470
00:36:24,200 --> 00:36:27,000
Bible answers.
It, it says, in James 4:14.
471
00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:30,500
It says, what is your life?
It says, it is a Mist that
472
00:36:30,500 --> 00:36:33,000
appears for a while and vanishes
away.
473
00:36:33,000 --> 00:36:34,000
This is your Bible says about
life.
474
00:36:34,100 --> 00:36:42,200
Here.
That was it amidst?
475
00:36:42,400 --> 00:36:46,900
Just a moment of time just to
the - between two dates.
476
00:36:47,300 --> 00:36:50,600
This is this how short your life
is in for a so many people,
477
00:36:50,600 --> 00:36:53,100
every child like cheat death,
you know, kind of get how to
478
00:36:53,200 --> 00:36:56,300
live longer, you know, like a
mummy five people, right?
479
00:36:56,600 --> 00:36:59,100
Like we're on the Austin Powers
was cryogenically frozen.
480
00:36:59,100 --> 00:37:00,500
Come on somebody.
All right.
481
00:37:00,500 --> 00:37:03,500
We're just gonna go there today.
Like, I'm just telling you, so
482
00:37:03,500 --> 00:37:06,400
many of us to think, what we can
is, if he has outlived this, if
483
00:37:06,400 --> 00:37:09,100
we could just have enough Medics
medicine, or we could just
484
00:37:09,100 --> 00:37:11,100
change.
Rabbis enough if we can do the
485
00:37:11,100 --> 00:37:13,300
right things, as the right diet.
It's like, no, there's a time
486
00:37:13,300 --> 00:37:17,200
where we had to Face Reality.
Their life is just a vapor.
487
00:37:17,300 --> 00:37:20,700
It's just that quick.
And so, how do we live in this
488
00:37:20,700 --> 00:37:22,800
perspective?
How do we live knowing that
489
00:37:22,800 --> 00:37:24,400
death is really an appointment,
our life.
490
00:37:24,400 --> 00:37:27,600
And only give you one just
principle to help you process
491
00:37:27,600 --> 00:37:29,800
death, just one principle and
it's this.
492
00:37:29,800 --> 00:37:32,000
It's not really complicated.
You might recognize it.
493
00:37:32,000 --> 00:37:34,600
But Live Like You're Dying, just
live.
494
00:37:34,600 --> 00:37:37,100
Like you're dying live, knowing
that you have an appointment
495
00:37:37,100 --> 00:37:39,000
coming and what would you do
differently today?
496
00:37:39,000 --> 00:37:41,100
If you You wouldn't be here
tomorrow.
497
00:37:41,400 --> 00:37:42,700
Like what would you do
differently today?
498
00:37:42,700 --> 00:37:45,200
If you knew that you had no
guarantee of tomorrow.
499
00:37:45,500 --> 00:37:46,300
Like what would you do
differently?
500
00:37:46,300 --> 00:37:49,000
If somebody came to you and
said, hey, you got cancer and
501
00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:52,400
you have six weeks to live or
you have cancer and you have six
502
00:37:52,400 --> 00:37:54,600
months to live.
Like what would we do
503
00:37:54,600 --> 00:37:58,800
differently as Christians to
live with the end in mind?
504
00:37:58,800 --> 00:38:01,500
Those are says, in Psalm 39, it
says this and this is really key
505
00:38:01,500 --> 00:38:05,700
passage says, oh, Lord, help me.
Understand my mortality.
506
00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:11,300
Help me be willfully, aware that
my Life has an end.
507
00:38:11,500 --> 00:38:14,700
Help me to be thought out and
come to grips with my mortality
508
00:38:14,700 --> 00:38:18,800
in the brevity of Life.
The how short life is.
509
00:38:18,800 --> 00:38:22,000
Let me realize how quickly my
life will pass.
510
00:38:22,100 --> 00:38:26,300
And look, you make my days
short-lived and my life span is
511
00:38:26,300 --> 00:38:29,100
nothing from your perspective.
Matter of fact, you get an
512
00:38:29,100 --> 00:38:30,800
eternity.
You're gonna be looking back and
513
00:38:30,800 --> 00:38:32,900
he's like, hey, can we can you
zoom in on my life?
514
00:38:33,000 --> 00:38:35,300
Can we rewind?
The tape little bit, I won't
515
00:38:35,300 --> 00:38:38,400
fast forward rewind or
fast-forward, zoom in.
516
00:38:38,400 --> 00:38:41,600
Zoom in zoom in.
Zoom in Zoom, is there I am,
517
00:38:42,100 --> 00:38:43,500
does that you just a little
speck?
518
00:38:43,500 --> 00:38:48,800
Just a thing in eternity, 80
years, hundred years, six years,
519
00:38:48,900 --> 00:38:51,000
whatever it is.
It's just a little moment in
520
00:38:51,000 --> 00:38:54,800
time of this reel of Eternity
and says, you're nothing from
521
00:38:54,800 --> 00:38:56,800
your perspective is, says surely
all people.
522
00:38:56,800 --> 00:38:59,500
Even those who seemed secure
come on those, who have
523
00:38:59,500 --> 00:39:02,000
everything, who can ride a
rocket outer space, because they
524
00:39:02,008 --> 00:39:04,000
have enough money.
Come on, even those that have
525
00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:06,200
Botox and when they're 80 years
old.
526
00:39:06,200 --> 00:39:08,600
Come on JLo.
Come on somebody, they look good
527
00:39:08,600 --> 00:39:10,300
right there.
Like what are you doing?
528
00:39:10,300 --> 00:39:13,300
And there's permanent Smiles.
Like even those have everything.
529
00:39:13,300 --> 00:39:17,800
It seems to cure Bible says,
this are nothing but help me out
530
00:39:17,800 --> 00:39:20,500
here.
Vapor.
531
00:39:21,800 --> 00:39:22,800
That's it.
That's our life.
532
00:39:22,800 --> 00:39:25,900
Just this moment of depleting
time.
533
00:39:26,200 --> 00:39:29,200
In other words, the Bible saying
Live, Like You're Dying, like
534
00:39:29,200 --> 00:39:32,100
help us know our mortality.
Like, let's live with the end in
535
00:39:32,100 --> 00:39:35,100
mind that there is a date.
When we were going to leave this
536
00:39:35,100 --> 00:39:38,400
planet are numbered our days.
Our number life is short.
537
00:39:38,400 --> 00:39:41,100
So I'll give you three best
practices to live like you down.
538
00:39:41,100 --> 00:39:43,900
You guys ready for this.
Nobody's ready.
539
00:39:44,700 --> 00:39:46,400
There's something already.
All right.
540
00:39:46,400 --> 00:39:49,800
Number one, go skydiving.
Come on to go.
541
00:39:49,800 --> 00:39:53,100
Rocky mountain climbing.
Three, two point seven seconds
542
00:39:53,100 --> 00:39:57,200
on a bowl, main vein Foo Manchu,
come on somebody, you know, Tim
543
00:39:57,200 --> 00:40:00,200
McGraw was coming today.
I know idolizing you guys up a
544
00:40:00,207 --> 00:40:01,800
little bit.
I would sing it for you, but
545
00:40:01,800 --> 00:40:04,000
it's not going to go.
Well, you never forget it and
546
00:40:04,000 --> 00:40:05,600
never come back.
I know that much.
547
00:40:05,800 --> 00:40:07,300
All right.
I've only got one principle for
548
00:40:07,300 --> 00:40:08,200
you.
Alright.
549
00:40:08,200 --> 00:40:10,600
One Prince about have three.
I just got one quick practical
550
00:40:10,600 --> 00:40:12,700
principle for you to live like
you're dying.
551
00:40:13,000 --> 00:40:14,100
No, I'm not going to sing it to
you.
552
00:40:14,100 --> 00:40:16,900
Although I may be should, but
it's real simple.
553
00:40:16,900 --> 00:40:21,000
Begin with the end in mind.
Just begin with the end in mind.
554
00:40:21,000 --> 00:40:23,400
What's the first thing you do
when you go playing for a
555
00:40:23,408 --> 00:40:25,100
vacation?
What's the first thing you do?
556
00:40:26,700 --> 00:40:31,400
No, you study the destination,
you say this?
557
00:40:31,400 --> 00:40:33,000
It was first.
You're all you on there.
558
00:40:33,200 --> 00:40:37,200
Like, is this a Shabby where my
board Shores or a parka?
559
00:40:37,300 --> 00:40:39,200
You know, I'm saying?

00:40:41,800 --> 00:40:44,200
You can ask my his to have.

car.
563
00:40:46,200 --> 00:40:47,800
You know, like what were you

564
00:40:47,800 --> 00:40:49,800
But what's the weather?
Like where we staying?
565
00:40:49,800 --> 00:40:51,500
What hobbies are we going to
have?
566
00:40:51,500 --> 00:40:54,200
Are we going hiking?
We're going out on the town or
567
00:40:54,200 --> 00:40:56,300

00:41:00,100 --> 00:41:01,700
what to pack and less, you know
where you're going.
571
00:41:01,700 --> 00:41:03,600
Amen.
As Christians.
572
00:41:03,600 --> 00:41:04,700
You better know where you're
going.
573
00:41:04,900 --> 00:41:07,100
Like, you're going to study
where you going to land.
574
00:41:07,100 --> 00:41:08,900
You know, what the weather's

Never works out this perfect,
but you go, right.
578
00:41:14,500 --> 00:41:16,400
It's like buying a house.
How many guys are buying a house
579
00:41:16,400 --> 00:41:17,900
in the season by ourselves.
Where you at?

Oh man, and this wall.
I give a hundred and 55 inch TV.
586
00:41:36,200 --> 00:41:39,800
Come on three foot from my bed.
Yes.
587
00:41:40,000 --> 00:41:42,400
The shower is big enough for
two.
588
00:41:42,800 --> 00:41:46,400
Oh, you know, you know what they
did we go there today, you know
589
00:41:46,400 --> 00:41:50,100
I'm saying, there's a kids
rooms, the nursery, the home
590
00:41:50,100 --> 00:41:51,900
office and there's like the
extra space.
591
00:41:51,900 --> 00:41:53,300
It's the man cave.
Come on.
592
00:41:53,300 --> 00:41:56,300
Somebody got the chairs, they
shake and vibration.
593
00:41:56,500 --> 00:41:58,700
In video games, you got some
work right equipment.
594
00:41:58,700 --> 00:42:01,300
That collects dust.
Come on right over there.
595
00:42:01,400 --> 00:42:03,100
Send me, you guys got like a
cigar lounge.
596
00:42:03,100 --> 00:42:04,600
I don't know who you are.
But somebody I know what your
597
00:42:04,600 --> 00:42:11,600
thing is, or it could be a craft
room, a craft room right here.
598
00:42:12,400 --> 00:42:14,200
You can find out.
All right, let's be real, you
599
00:42:14,200 --> 00:42:15,900
know, it's going to be, you can
use this storage.
600
00:42:15,900 --> 00:42:17,400
You can put your Christmas trees
in there.
601
00:42:17,400 --> 00:42:19,500
And this is never going to go
use the root, right?
602
00:42:19,500 --> 00:42:20,700
That's just how it's going to
roll.
603
00:42:20,800 --> 00:42:22,400
Or could be a workshop.
Come on.
604
00:42:23,200 --> 00:42:24,900
Maybe just me.
I like the workshop, but we
605
00:42:24,900 --> 00:42:27,100
always begin with the end in
mind with a Vision for the
606
00:42:27,100 --> 00:42:30,100
property, like we start looking
at like we know exactly what we
607
00:42:30,100 --> 00:42:31,500
want.
So today I just want to do.
608
00:42:31,600 --> 00:42:33,200
Can I just dream little bit
about having the day?
609
00:42:33,800 --> 00:42:36,900
Can I dream about having just
for a minute like a what its
610
00:42:36,900 --> 00:42:38,300
gonna be?
Like when we get there?
611
00:42:38,300 --> 00:42:41,300
Can we just begin with the end?
Like what is it gonna look like?
612
00:42:41,300 --> 00:42:43,700
Like, what's all, what is going
to happen in heaven?
613
00:42:43,800 --> 00:42:46,100
And so this is what it says.
In John 14 1 through 3.
614
00:42:46,100 --> 00:42:48,400
This is Jesus talking.
He says do not let your hearts
615
00:42:48,400 --> 00:42:51,500
be troubled.
You believe in God believe.
616
00:42:51,500 --> 00:42:54,000
Also in me.
My father's house has many rooms
617
00:42:54,000 --> 00:42:56,300
and if we're not.
So, what I've told you that I'm
618
00:42:56,500 --> 00:43:02,500
Going there to what to, what to
prepare a place for you.
619
00:43:02,800 --> 00:43:05,600
Come on.
I mean, what I've told you that
620
00:43:05,600 --> 00:43:08,400
I'm going to paraphrase for you
if I'm not preparing a place for
621
00:43:08,400 --> 00:43:10,800
you.
This is Jesus talking about
622
00:43:10,800 --> 00:43:14,000
preparing heaven for us.
He says, if I go and prepare a
623
00:43:14,008 --> 00:43:18,800
place for you, I will come back.
Dude, the original Terminator.
624
00:43:18,800 --> 00:43:22,500
Come on somebody, I will come
back and take you to be with me
625
00:43:22,600 --> 00:43:24,600
that you all some be be where I
am.
626
00:43:24,700 --> 00:43:25,300
Now.
Love this.
627
00:43:25,300 --> 00:43:30,100
Jesus is Being us as Jesus
followers a home in heaven.
628
00:43:30,400 --> 00:43:32,400
You know, what?
Jesus, there's a reason he came
629
00:43:32,400 --> 00:43:35,000
as a carpenter.
Come on, he's always been a
630
00:43:35,008 --> 00:43:37,400
carpenter.
Like he's the Creator.
631
00:43:37,400 --> 00:43:40,100
He's the architect.
He's the engineer.
632
00:43:40,100 --> 00:43:43,700
He's the sustainer that holds
everything together.
633
00:43:43,700 --> 00:43:46,300
He's the planner.
He's the Builder.
634
00:43:46,400 --> 00:43:49,500
He's the contractor.
He put everything together now,
635
00:43:49,500 --> 00:43:51,800
he's in heaven.
Building us a home.
636
00:43:51,800 --> 00:43:54,200
Can I tell you something?
When you get there, this home is
637
00:43:54,207 --> 00:43:55,700
gonna get hooked up behind your
truck.
638
00:43:55,700 --> 00:43:57,900
Come on, son.
You're not going to back your
639
00:43:57,900 --> 00:44:00,200
truck up and start pulling it,
that I could cut the tongue off
640
00:44:00,200 --> 00:44:01,900
and stick it on the front of it
in a park.
641
00:44:02,200 --> 00:44:04,100
It's not going to be a modular
home.
642
00:44:04,200 --> 00:44:06,000
It's like a prefab or cookie
cutter.
643
00:44:06,000 --> 00:44:07,900
I'm just gonna guess it's all
custom.
644
00:44:07,900 --> 00:44:11,100
Come on, somebody, just a custom
home by Jesus.
645
00:44:11,100 --> 00:44:14,100
This is what he's doing for us.
I mean, what do you think about
646
00:44:14,100 --> 00:44:16,600
when you think about heaven, you
know, I think about I think
647
00:44:16,600 --> 00:44:21,600
Sonny and no rain, come on.
I mean, I say Sonny, I mean sson
648
00:44:21,800 --> 00:44:24,200
Sonny because there actually is
no son.
649
00:44:24,400 --> 00:44:26,200
It's just Jesus as light that
lights.
650
00:44:26,500 --> 00:44:29,000
Heaven, I'm getting all biblical
here but a preacher but a
651
00:44:29,008 --> 00:44:31,100
preacher, right?
No earthquakes.
652
00:44:31,100 --> 00:44:32,400
No tornadoes.
No sin.
653
00:44:32,400 --> 00:44:35,200
We see Jesus face-to-face.
This was says in Revelation.
654
00:44:35,400 --> 00:44:37,900
It says the Angels showed me.
This is John Talking to Angels,
655
00:44:37,900 --> 00:44:42,100
showed me the river of water or
literally River, the river of
656
00:44:42,100 --> 00:44:44,700
Water of Life as clear as
crystal.
657
00:44:44,700 --> 00:44:47,700
That's a pretty sweet-looking
spring flowing from the Throne
658
00:44:47,700 --> 00:44:51,600
of God and the lamb.
This is Jesus down the middle of
659
00:44:51,600 --> 00:44:55,000
the great Street of the city,
but I'm about you.
660
00:44:55,000 --> 00:44:58,300
I can't wait to see this View.
Like, we go hiking, we go out
661
00:44:58,300 --> 00:45:01,100
into, like, the Ozarks.
We are always boating.
662
00:45:01,100 --> 00:45:03,200
We look at amazing stuff.
We've traveled to Hawaii.
663
00:45:03,200 --> 00:45:05,500
We've seen all sorts of things.
But I'm telling you nothing is
664
00:45:05,500 --> 00:45:09,500
going to look as amazing as this
river flowing from the Throne of
665
00:45:09,500 --> 00:45:12,300
the Lamb of God down the middle
of the city.
666
00:45:12,500 --> 00:45:15,000
And so the east side of the
river, stood, a tree of life.
667
00:45:15,000 --> 00:45:18,600
This is back in Genesis 3, the
same Tree of Life, burying 12
668
00:45:18,600 --> 00:45:20,700
crops of fruit.
Yielding, its fruit in its month
669
00:45:20,700 --> 00:45:23,100
and leaves the tree are healing
for all nations.
670
00:45:23,300 --> 00:45:24,600
Love this.
Don't miss verse 3.
671
00:45:24,800 --> 00:45:28,600
No longer will there.
Be any curse.
672
00:45:28,600 --> 00:45:32,000
Come on.
Somebody sin is eliminated.
673
00:45:32,100 --> 00:45:34,900
The Satan, the serpent himself
has been thrown into the Lake of
674
00:45:34,900 --> 00:45:37,500
Fire, and we were walking with
Jesus.
675
00:45:37,600 --> 00:45:39,600
Everything.
That was broken is now fixed.
676
00:45:39,600 --> 00:45:41,200
There's no cancer.
Come on somebody.
677
00:45:41,300 --> 00:45:43,900
There's no covid.
There's no mask.
678
00:45:43,900 --> 00:45:47,400
There's no vaccines.
Nobody's excited about it.
679
00:45:47,400 --> 00:45:50,100
Okay, you'll get there.
No menopause.
680
00:45:51,300 --> 00:45:57,400
Well, I got some claps on that
one, on the who was clapping but
681
00:45:57,700 --> 00:46:02,500
it's good the Throne of God and
the lamb Jesus here is God, the
682
00:46:02,500 --> 00:46:04,700
father.
Jesus himself will be in this
683
00:46:04,700 --> 00:46:07,000
city.
And his servants will serve him
684
00:46:07,000 --> 00:46:09,100
and they will don't miss.
They will see his face.
685
00:46:09,400 --> 00:46:13,300
Don't miss this because since
Genesis 3, we have not seen the
686
00:46:13,300 --> 00:46:17,300
face of God for all of eternity
and are like the middle of
687
00:46:17,300 --> 00:46:20,100
Eternity in humanity.
We have been running from God
688
00:46:20,100 --> 00:46:21,400
and God is pursuing us.
Us.
689
00:46:21,400 --> 00:46:25,700
And for the first time we see
the face of God, the Bible says
690
00:46:25,700 --> 00:46:27,700
to be absent.
The body is to be present with
691
00:46:27,700 --> 00:46:29,500
the Lord.
And as Christians, when you
692
00:46:29,500 --> 00:46:32,200
leave this side of attorney,
you're instantly in the presence
693
00:46:32,500 --> 00:46:35,500
of Jesus.
And for the first time we look,
694
00:46:35,500 --> 00:46:39,200
look into the eyes of our
creator and the author and the
695
00:46:39,200 --> 00:46:41,900
architect of our life.
And it says, our name will be on
696
00:46:41,900 --> 00:46:44,400
their foreheads and there'd be
no more night.
697
00:46:44,400 --> 00:46:46,100
There'd be no need for a lamp.
I'm sorry.
698
00:46:46,100 --> 00:46:49,600
The Energizer Bunny is not, keep
going and going and going and
699
00:46:49,600 --> 00:46:52,400
the light of the Sun the Moon.
Light for the Sun for the Lord
700
00:46:52,400 --> 00:46:54,500
God will give them light and
they will reign.
701
00:46:54,500 --> 00:46:58,900
Don't miss this little piece
forever and ever and ever.
702
00:46:59,000 --> 00:47:01,600
And ever.
I told you it was sunny with no
703
00:47:01,600 --> 00:47:05,200
chance of rain.
This is like returning to Eden.
704
00:47:05,400 --> 00:47:07,700
This is what it looks like to go
back to what it would be.
705
00:47:07,700 --> 00:47:11,600
Like if we never sinned walking
the presence and a perfect
706
00:47:11,600 --> 00:47:14,500
relationship with God.
There's no more suffering.
707
00:47:14,700 --> 00:47:18,000
That Jesus has wiped all tears
away from our faces.
708
00:47:18,100 --> 00:47:19,500
There's a lot of questions about
heaven.
709
00:47:19,500 --> 00:47:22,200
Okay, because obviously that
Tell us all the questions you're
710
00:47:22,200 --> 00:47:23,500
going to have.
So you need to text in your
711
00:47:23,500 --> 00:47:24,900
questions.
So maybe I can maybe get more
712
00:47:24,900 --> 00:47:26,700
detail.
I didn't not going to go all the
713
00:47:26,700 --> 00:47:27,800
way through all things that
happen.
714
00:47:27,800 --> 00:47:29,600
We know in the Bible, but text
me questions.
715
00:47:29,600 --> 00:47:32,100
There's a couple.
Do we recognize our loved ones,
716
00:47:32,200 --> 00:47:34,500
had this come up a life group,
just a few months ago.
717
00:47:35,000 --> 00:47:36,700
What will it look like on about
you?
718
00:47:36,700 --> 00:47:39,200
Hope it's a with less weight
more muscles, right?
719
00:47:39,500 --> 00:47:43,300
Like, I'm not sure, well, how
would be given all these crowns
720
00:47:43,300 --> 00:47:44,800
about talks about rewards in the
Bible.
721
00:47:44,800 --> 00:47:47,300
There's Seven Crown's like
endurance, and soul winning.
722
00:47:47,300 --> 00:47:50,200
There's all these crowns that we
can earn and is the point we're
723
00:47:50,200 --> 00:47:53,800
God.
Us and God, he gives us a Jules
724
00:47:53,800 --> 00:47:56,400
and her crap.
This isn't made up and there's a
725
00:47:56,400 --> 00:47:57,500
point.
Where do we give an account for
726
00:47:57,500 --> 00:47:59,300
our lives?
Like every other word?
727
00:47:59,300 --> 00:48:01,500
We spoke in this, the most
important question.
728
00:48:01,500 --> 00:48:03,600
You can ever ask.
Will there be a Chick-fil-A.
729
00:48:03,600 --> 00:48:06,400
Come on, somebody.
Will there be a Chick-fil-A in
730
00:48:06,400 --> 00:48:08,500
heaven?
I hope the line moves just as
731
00:48:08,500 --> 00:48:10,300
fast, right?
This is how it's going to roll,
732
00:48:10,300 --> 00:48:13,100
but we begin with the end in
mind.
733
00:48:13,300 --> 00:48:14,700
The end of my, what do you think
about?
734
00:48:14,700 --> 00:48:15,800
You think I have it?
I think a two things.
735
00:48:15,800 --> 00:48:19,300
There's only two things that
come from this earth into
736
00:48:19,300 --> 00:48:20,700
heaven.
The first thing is this, it's
737
00:48:20,700 --> 00:48:23,200
the word of God.
God this word of God, endures
738
00:48:23,300 --> 00:48:26,500
forever and ever and ever, and
you're going to find this word
739
00:48:26,500 --> 00:48:31,000
of God in heaven, but the second
thing that isn't Heaven is
740
00:48:31,000 --> 00:48:40,700
people It's people every tribe.
Every tongue every nation is
741
00:48:40,700 --> 00:48:43,000
people.
The only two things that you can
742
00:48:43,000 --> 00:48:45,800
take with you from this side of
Eternity.
743
00:48:46,000 --> 00:48:49,900
To that side is the word of God.
And people.
744
00:48:51,500 --> 00:48:54,300
That should change everything
about how we walk out of here
745
00:48:54,300 --> 00:48:56,000
today.
That's a change.
746
00:48:56,000 --> 00:48:59,200
Everything about how we love
people that we would go out of
747
00:48:59,200 --> 00:49:02,300
our way for people.
Now.
748
00:49:02,300 --> 00:49:05,100
In fact, how we love people, and
how we treat people, it says,
749
00:49:05,100 --> 00:49:08,000
everything about our theology
says everything.
750
00:49:08,000 --> 00:49:10,600
What we believe about God.
It's just everything would be
751
00:49:10,600 --> 00:49:15,100
about people.
The only thing is people then
752
00:49:15,100 --> 00:49:20,800
what are we doing with people?
It's a life about you.
753
00:49:20,800 --> 00:49:24,600
Can't attach a U-Haul to a
hearse, but you can take people
754
00:49:25,500 --> 00:49:27,600
you can bring other people with
you.
755
00:49:27,900 --> 00:49:31,500
Remember when I was in 2003 that
was in Mexico, and we're looking
756
00:49:31,500 --> 00:49:34,200
into the face of people
wondering.
757
00:49:35,200 --> 00:49:38,000
Am I willing to get
uncomfortable enough to tell
758
00:49:38,000 --> 00:49:41,500
them about Jesus?
My fact, I think about that
759
00:49:41,500 --> 00:49:44,300
about every day walking through
Walmart.
760
00:49:44,300 --> 00:49:50,600
Come on, somebody or Target.
All these people who need Jesus,
761
00:49:51,500 --> 00:49:54,900
who need somebody to come her
life and point them, to the one
762
00:49:54,900 --> 00:49:59,100
who broke the curse for them.
And how uncomfortable willing to
763
00:49:59,100 --> 00:50:03,600
get to love on people, to give
up College planes, may be a
764
00:50:03,600 --> 00:50:06,800
change dreams, maybe to serve on
a team.
765
00:50:06,900 --> 00:50:12,400
Maybe to give sacrificially.
Maybe to lead maybe to stop
766
00:50:12,400 --> 00:50:14,900
following ourselves.
Like, how uncomfortable.
767
00:50:14,900 --> 00:50:18,300
Are you willing to get my fat?
Jesus, at this in Mark 12?
768
00:50:18,400 --> 00:50:20,500
Somebody asking what's the
greatest commandment Jesus?
769
00:50:21,200 --> 00:50:24,000
He said, the most important one
will hear this.
770
00:50:24,100 --> 00:50:25,800
Oh, Israel.
The Lord Our God.
771
00:50:25,800 --> 00:50:27,300
The Lord is one.
It says, love the Lord God, with
772
00:50:27,300 --> 00:50:31,000
all your heart, all your soul,
with all your mind and all your
773
00:50:31,000 --> 00:50:32,900
strength.
The second one.
774
00:50:32,900 --> 00:50:36,200
Is this.
Love your neighbor as yourself
775
00:50:36,800 --> 00:50:39,200
and this is the greatest
commandment.
776
00:50:39,600 --> 00:50:41,700
In fact, Jesus goes on to say in
John 15.
777
00:50:41,700 --> 00:50:45,800
He says my commitment is this
love each other as I have loved
778
00:50:45,800 --> 00:50:47,700
you.
So milk your neighbor and say I
779
00:50:47,700 --> 00:50:50,900
love you.
Now.
780
00:50:50,900 --> 00:50:52,500
Look your other neighbor you
left behind.
781
00:50:53,900 --> 00:50:57,100
I love you.
This is used to the greatest
782
00:50:57,100 --> 00:51:01,100
commandment - she loves
somebody, the think, outside
783
00:51:01,100 --> 00:51:05,900
yourself to give your best men.
Fact, he goes on to say greater.
784
00:51:05,900 --> 00:51:09,000
Love has no one than this, than
to lay down his life for his
785
00:51:09,000 --> 00:51:11,200
friends.
There's no greater act.
786
00:51:11,200 --> 00:51:14,000
You can ever do in this side of
attorney there, lay down your
787
00:51:14,000 --> 00:51:16,900
life, for somebody else.
And this is what Jesus did for
788
00:51:16,900 --> 00:51:21,200
us.
Jesus laid his life down for us.
789
00:51:21,300 --> 00:51:23,200
Matter of fact, he decided to
lay down his life back in
790
00:51:23,200 --> 00:51:26,300
Genesis 3, if not sooner.
And he decided.
791
00:51:26,300 --> 00:51:29,100
As soon as Sin entered the
picture, he said, one day.
792
00:51:29,700 --> 00:51:32,600
I'm coming.
I'm going to orchestrate all of
793
00:51:32,600 --> 00:51:36,300
eternity, everything happened in
humanity, all the prophecy, all
794
00:51:36,300 --> 00:51:39,700
the all the kings, all the
kingdoms, all the things.
795
00:51:39,700 --> 00:51:42,400
All the events that transpire.
I'm going to make myself across.
796
00:51:42,500 --> 00:51:44,500
I'm going to bring in some of
that Roman culture.
797
00:51:45,000 --> 00:51:47,100
I'm going to show up.
So the whole world can see me.
798
00:51:47,400 --> 00:51:49,900
So Jesus, did you know why?
Jesus did this?
799
00:51:50,300 --> 00:51:54,100
Because he had the end in mind.
He knew there was a very real
800
00:51:54,100 --> 00:51:57,200
heaven.
The very real Health, Jesus knew
801
00:51:57,200 --> 00:52:00,000
that, and he wanted us to go to
heaven.
802
00:52:00,000 --> 00:52:03,900
And so he ran towards us Mary
that he think about the last few
803
00:52:04,000 --> 00:52:05,700
days of his life or David's
life.
804
00:52:05,900 --> 00:52:07,300
He was betrayed by one of his
followers.
805
00:52:07,300 --> 00:52:09,400
For 30 pieces of silver.
He's praying in the garden.
806
00:52:10,000 --> 00:52:14,100
He was put on false trial and it
will ignite the false
807
00:52:14,100 --> 00:52:17,600
accusations.
And he was, he was put out to
808
00:52:17,600 --> 00:52:20,400
die instead of something else
deserved named Barabbas, then he
809
00:52:20,400 --> 00:52:23,900
was scourged.
He took at nine tails just piece
810
00:52:23,900 --> 00:52:26,800
of teeth and bone on.
Leather whips and ran across his
811
00:52:26,800 --> 00:52:29,700
back, you strapped around a rock
and stripped him of his skin.
812
00:52:30,000 --> 00:52:32,000
Bible said it.
He was so disfigured.
813
00:52:32,000 --> 00:52:35,200
You couldn't recognize him as a
human and Jesus beard was ripped
814
00:52:35,200 --> 00:52:38,100
out and he was stripped naked in
the crown of thorns was shoved
815
00:52:38,100 --> 00:52:41,000
on to his brow piercing into his
skin.
816
00:52:41,500 --> 00:52:46,000
It picked up across willingly
and carried up the hill of
817
00:52:46,000 --> 00:52:49,100
Calvary for us on top of that
Hill.
818
00:52:49,100 --> 00:52:52,600
They drove spikes into his risk
and then to his ankles and they
819
00:52:52,600 --> 00:52:56,200
stood him up.
For the whole world to see
820
00:52:56,600 --> 00:52:59,900
because for God.
So loved the world that he gave
821
00:53:00,500 --> 00:53:03,300
his son.
He willingly went to the cross
822
00:53:03,300 --> 00:53:05,500
for us, on that cross.
He did the grace Act of Love
823
00:53:05,500 --> 00:53:09,000
Ever Getting.
He took all of our wrongs and
824
00:53:09,000 --> 00:53:11,600
place it on himself.
The Bible says he was crushed
825
00:53:11,700 --> 00:53:14,700
but not destroyed.
Is he saying that he'd won?
826
00:53:14,900 --> 00:53:17,400
But Satan didn't know the power
of God.
827
00:53:17,400 --> 00:53:20,200
And on that cross.
He paid every single one of our
828
00:53:20,200 --> 00:53:22,800
debts.
He paid our hell, he was our
829
00:53:22,800 --> 00:53:26,100
wrath bearing.
Vice not just for you, but for
830
00:53:26,100 --> 00:53:29,800
all of humanity and on that
cross, he said these words are
831
00:53:29,800 --> 00:53:33,400
so powerful for us today.
He said it is finished.
832
00:53:33,400 --> 00:53:35,700
What is finished sin is
finished.
833
00:53:36,100 --> 00:53:38,800
Satan is finished.
Universe has said that he's
834
00:53:38,800 --> 00:53:42,600
going to crush the head of Satan
will just went down because
835
00:53:42,600 --> 00:53:44,900
Jesus on that cross took out
Satan.
836
00:53:45,300 --> 00:53:47,300
He defeated hell.
And agitated said his final
837
00:53:47,300 --> 00:53:48,900
breath.
He took his final breath.
838
00:53:48,900 --> 00:53:52,000
He died and gave up The Ghost.
And the first thing he did is he
839
00:53:52,000 --> 00:53:57,300
ran through the gates of hell
and he's All our keys, he stole
840
00:53:57,300 --> 00:54:01,100
our keys and he ran through
every single cell that we were
841
00:54:01,100 --> 00:54:04,500
locked in his prisoners, from
this curse of death and sin in
842
00:54:04,500 --> 00:54:08,600
the grave and a rose on the
third day and Rose erected his
843
00:54:08,600 --> 00:54:11,800
life for our freedom, with our
within our keys in hand.
844
00:54:11,800 --> 00:54:14,400
Amen.
This is what Jesus did for us,
845
00:54:14,900 --> 00:54:17,300
on the cross.
He laid down his life so that we
846
00:54:17,300 --> 00:54:19,800
can have life.
And all of a sudden, the curse
847
00:54:19,900 --> 00:54:22,900
was reversed and Jesus made
away.
848
00:54:23,200 --> 00:54:25,300
This is a love story.
Of God.
849
00:54:25,500 --> 00:54:27,400
And so you think about death?
And I think about, I think about
850
00:54:27,400 --> 00:54:32,400
Jesus, I think, how much I love
Jesus and his plan for us.
851
00:54:32,600 --> 00:54:35,000
This is what God did for us.
And so how uncomfortable.
852
00:54:35,000 --> 00:54:36,500
Are you willing to get four
people?
853
00:54:36,700 --> 00:54:39,900
Because Jesus got little
uncomfortable for us to didn't
854
00:54:39,900 --> 00:54:41,700
he?
He didn't just go across the
855
00:54:41,700 --> 00:54:43,400
road and put a track on a roll
of toilet paper.
856
00:54:43,400 --> 00:54:47,200
Come on.
I'm, he went to the cross for
857
00:54:47,200 --> 00:54:49,000
us.
And so, how long will, how
858
00:54:49,000 --> 00:54:51,500
willing are you getting willing
to get together and comfortable?
859
00:54:51,900 --> 00:54:53,100
Like, what would you do for
somebody?
860
00:54:53,100 --> 00:54:56,500
Know A love of Jesus?
How far are you willing to go?
861
00:54:56,900 --> 00:54:58,800
It's what Jesus prayed for us,
in.
862
00:54:58,800 --> 00:55:00,500
John 17.
He says my prayer is not for
863
00:55:00,500 --> 00:55:02,600
them alone.
But for those who will believe
864
00:55:02,600 --> 00:55:05,500
in me, somebody else today, all
believers all time.
865
00:55:05,800 --> 00:55:07,900
He says, I pray in me through
their message says that all of
866
00:55:07,900 --> 00:55:13,200
them may be one, the Jesus
prayed that his Christians will
867
00:55:13,200 --> 00:55:16,200
be United together under the
banner of Jesus.
868
00:55:16,600 --> 00:55:19,100
Not anything else, but we would
know Jesus.
869
00:55:19,100 --> 00:55:21,700
He goes on to say.
Father, just as you are in me
870
00:55:21,800 --> 00:55:24,400
and I am in you, we should be.
So.
871
00:55:24,600 --> 00:55:27,500
So close to God, then when
people see us, they don't see
872
00:55:27,500 --> 00:55:30,500
Sean Petrie.
They see Jesus, you know, you
873
00:55:30,500 --> 00:55:33,300
might be the only Bible that
somebody reads you might be the
874
00:55:33,300 --> 00:55:35,800
only picture of the love of God
in somebody's life.
875
00:55:36,100 --> 00:55:38,000
He says, may they also be in us
with the world.
876
00:55:38,000 --> 00:55:41,500
Like this may believe that you
sent me that your life is the
877
00:55:41,500 --> 00:55:45,500
greatest apologetic of all
history that the way you live in
878
00:55:45,500 --> 00:55:49,600
this moment in this season of
division and chaos, and all
879
00:55:49,600 --> 00:55:52,500
these riots, and all these
things are happening in our
880
00:55:52,500 --> 00:55:54,300
community and across the world
that you are.
881
00:55:54,300 --> 00:55:58,000
The Sure of Jesus.
He says given the glory that you
882
00:55:58,000 --> 00:56:02,900
gave me that they may be one as
we are one and in them and I in
883
00:56:02,900 --> 00:56:06,400
them and you and me so that they
may be brought to complete
884
00:56:06,400 --> 00:56:08,200
Unity.
Then the world will know that
885
00:56:08,200 --> 00:56:10,200
you have sent me and have loved
them.
886
00:56:10,300 --> 00:56:13,900
Even as you have loved me and
how we treat people as our
887
00:56:13,900 --> 00:56:18,100
greatest apologetic that we were
single-minded one.
888
00:56:18,100 --> 00:56:20,400
Mind.
One Accord as Christians were
889
00:56:20,408 --> 00:56:22,100
not divided.
It's so easy.
890
00:56:22,100 --> 00:56:25,800
Be divided in 2021 in it.
Vaccines.
891
00:56:26,300 --> 00:56:28,500
What's your opinion?
Oh, no, tell me already know
892
00:56:29,100 --> 00:56:34,400

Mask Sports, red, blue, black
893
00:56:34,400 --> 00:56:36,000
white.
Where Do We Stand?
894
00:56:36,000 --> 00:56:37,500
We stand for Jesus.
Amen.
895
00:56:38,000 --> 00:56:41,000
There's only one name that we
unify under his name of Jesus.
896
00:56:41,200 --> 00:56:44,300
He is the Supreme.
Everything is second to him.
897
00:56:44,400 --> 00:56:45,600
You're the world doesn't need
know what.
898
00:56:45,600 --> 00:56:48,300
We're against the world doesn't
need to know that we don't like
899
00:56:48,300 --> 00:56:49,900
this and we don't like this and
we don't like this.
900
00:56:49,900 --> 00:56:52,900
And we don't like this know, the
world needs to know about Jesus,
901
00:56:53,300 --> 00:56:55,800
the Wolves, know what we're for.
And he has a name.
902
00:56:55,800 --> 00:56:58,300
His name is Jesus.
And so he's love people that
903
00:56:58,300 --> 00:57:00,800
don't treat us fair.
And I got a text this morning.
904
00:57:00,800 --> 00:57:02,000
10 minutes.
We're going up here, land
905
00:57:02,000 --> 00:57:04,100
blasting things because there's
life is hurting.
906
00:57:04,500 --> 00:57:06,100
They don't understand this
Jesus.
907
00:57:06,500 --> 00:57:09,600
I'm just telling you, we just
showed grace and mercy and
908
00:57:09,600 --> 00:57:13,200
forgiveness and how you post
people are watching and what
909
00:57:13,200 --> 00:57:16,400
you're saying, people are
watching every word.
910
00:57:16,400 --> 00:57:19,200
There's a watching world and
they're asking the question, are
911
00:57:19,200 --> 00:57:22,300
they different is your marriage
different?
912
00:57:22,800 --> 00:57:24,300
Does it look just like everybody
else?
913
00:57:24,400 --> 00:57:27,100
Is how do you treat your kids?
What do you believe about
914
00:57:27,100 --> 00:57:30,100
people, which aside, I look like
what your bank account look,
915
00:57:30,100 --> 00:57:31,900
like, what your prayer life look
like.
916
00:57:32,100 --> 00:57:34,700
What supposed to look like these
people forgive people.
917
00:57:34,700 --> 00:57:38,400
They seem awfully better.
Meet the patient with people.
918
00:57:38,600 --> 00:57:40,600
So Eugene has always begin with
the end in mind.
919
00:57:40,700 --> 00:57:43,500
He knew what attorney look like.
If the only thing that goes from
920
00:57:43,500 --> 00:57:48,800
here to there is peep.
We should all bow people.
921
00:57:49,400 --> 00:57:54,300
And we sit down, we start
thinking 401 K's your houses and
922
00:57:54,300 --> 00:57:57,700
all this stuff.
We just forget about people we
923
00:57:57,700 --> 00:57:59,000
can walk by right down the
aisle.
924
00:57:59,000 --> 00:58:03,400
We leave here today and I say a
word to somebody else because we
925
00:58:03,400 --> 00:58:05,900
miss it.
I'll give you a bonus principal,
926
00:58:06,000 --> 00:58:07,700
get a squirt.
Tony Horton of it.
927
00:58:07,707 --> 00:58:11,400
Didn't P90X3 bonus principle.
Here it is.
928
00:58:12,000 --> 00:58:13,700
I talked about live like you're
dying and that's really not the
929
00:58:13,707 --> 00:58:16,700
full picture because it has a
structure that fair because
930
00:58:16,700 --> 00:58:18,800
you're actually not dying
because you die, you go to
931
00:58:18,800 --> 00:58:20,200
heaven.
It's only give you a better
932
00:58:20,200 --> 00:58:21,900
principal.
If you taking notes write this
933
00:58:21,900 --> 00:58:23,900
down because this is really good
least, I think it is.
934
00:58:24,700 --> 00:58:28,500
It's real simple live.
Like you were dead and now
935
00:58:28,500 --> 00:58:33,400
you're alive live.
Like you were dead in sin, but
936
00:58:33,400 --> 00:58:37,700
now you're alive to God.
It changes everything live.
937
00:58:37,700 --> 00:58:41,300
Like you're in your free from
this debt of sin.
938
00:58:41,600 --> 00:58:43,000
Like this world is not your
home.
939
00:58:43,000 --> 00:58:45,100
We're not just like oh a die
then it's over.
940
00:58:45,200 --> 00:58:46,100
Yeah.
I'll enjoy having.
941
00:58:46,100 --> 00:58:47,500
No, no.
No, we're going home.
942
00:58:47,500 --> 00:58:49,800
Somebody.
Come on, like we're not just
943
00:58:49,800 --> 00:58:51,100
like, oh, one day, we'll get
there.
944
00:58:51,100 --> 00:58:53,100
No, no, that Saturday.
That's what we're supposed to
945
00:58:53,100 --> 00:58:54,800
be.
The only reason God hadn't left.
946
00:58:54,800 --> 00:58:58,500
You here is for people.
He live here for a title.
947
00:58:58,600 --> 00:59:01,200
He leave here for stuff.
You know, he who dies with the
948
00:59:01,200 --> 00:59:03,900
most stuff.
Still dice.
949
00:59:05,300 --> 00:59:08,000
Still nice.
The only thing that matters is
950
00:59:08,000 --> 00:59:10,800
people that was says, set your
mind on things above and not
951
00:59:10,800 --> 00:59:13,500
below that we were Heavenly
minded.
952
00:59:13,500 --> 00:59:16,000
They're not daydreaming or we're
playing on that trip.
953
00:59:16,500 --> 00:59:19,000
We're bring as many people as
possible to be a big old party.
954
00:59:19,000 --> 00:59:21,900
I can't wait to go to.
We're just thinking of Heaven,
955
00:59:21,900 --> 00:59:25,300
they were dead in sin, that
Jesus broke the curse somewhere
956
00:59:25,300 --> 00:59:28,900
alive to God and we look forward
to seeing Jesus face-to-face,
957
00:59:29,000 --> 00:59:31,400
you know, our mission is not to
accumulate the most stuff.
958
00:59:32,500 --> 00:59:35,600
Although I'll tell you what, the
only thing that seems unified
959
00:59:35,600 --> 00:59:37,000
people in our countries
shopping.
960
00:59:38,600 --> 00:59:41,300
Whole place in here.
Be together is a row in Target,
961
00:59:41,700 --> 00:59:46,700
or the middle aisle at Aldi.
I'm Tom, I'm talking about
962
00:59:46,800 --> 00:59:48,300
something called the Isle of
Shame earlier.
963
00:59:48,300 --> 00:59:51,100
I say, it's really good.
It's like I need these things is
964
00:59:51,100 --> 00:59:54,300
the only thing that brings us
together spending, but were
965
00:59:54,300 --> 00:59:57,200
supposed to unified for.
Jesus is Love people.
966
00:59:57,300 --> 00:59:59,100
I would encourage, are you
willing to get uncomfortable?
967
00:59:59,100 --> 01:00:01,700
Jesus?
Like, why not you, what, why not
968
01:00:01,700 --> 01:00:04,100
be a leader?
Like, when I step up and say I
969
01:00:04,100 --> 01:00:05,800
can do more for God.
What can I do?
970
01:00:06,200 --> 01:00:09,000
Put me in coach?
I love that Kim would ever put
971
01:00:09,000 --> 01:00:10,100
me in.
I'm willing.
972
01:00:10,100 --> 01:00:11,800
I'm ready.
Just send me in.
973
01:00:12,100 --> 01:00:14,500
Why not?
Give more like, when I sacrifice
974
01:00:14,500 --> 01:00:15,500
more.
I'm not saying give it to us.
975
01:00:15,500 --> 01:00:18,200
I'm saying, want to give more
way to people, why not want to
976
01:00:18,300 --> 01:00:21,100
believe in people.
Why not why give up on our
977
01:00:21,100 --> 01:00:22,300
family.
So easily.
978
01:00:22,700 --> 01:00:25,500
Missy is all times people in our
family don't act or look, or do
979
01:00:25,500 --> 01:00:26,900
things we want to do.
And all of a sudden were
980
01:00:26,900 --> 01:00:27,800
offended.
Personally.
981
01:00:27,900 --> 01:00:29,700
Don't be offended.
Jesus will have some still,
982
01:00:30,100 --> 01:00:32,200
let's just help them.
Encourage them.
983
01:00:32,300 --> 01:00:34,900
How about love on our kids?
How about care about more about
984
01:00:34,900 --> 01:00:38,700
Unity than being right?
There's there's an almost a
985
01:00:39,100 --> 01:00:44,200
non-american message in that.
Kid more than we love on people
986
01:00:44,200 --> 01:00:49,600
more than politics or covid,
vaccines and masks and all this.
987
01:00:49,600 --> 01:00:51,600
Jazz of people say that's going
to go away.
988
01:00:51,600 --> 01:00:55,000
It would be alien ourselves from
the very people who need Jesus,
989
01:00:55,000 --> 01:00:58,700
because we were so opinionated
about what was so what is true.
990
01:00:58,700 --> 01:01:01,900
Is he relevant to somebody Who
You're not winning their soul.
991
01:01:03,200 --> 01:01:04,300
Yeah, I'm Gonna Leave You the
story.
992
01:01:04,300 --> 01:01:07,500
There's a friend of so many
people in our church whose
993
01:01:07,500 --> 01:01:10,600
inspiration to generation is
imposed and Iran.
994
01:01:10,800 --> 01:01:12,200
Use a canvas pass for Life
Church.
995
01:01:12,200 --> 01:01:16,600
She passed away a few months ago
and went to Dana's funeral.
996
01:01:16,600 --> 01:01:18,600
I didn't know Danny that well,
I've been in a few times a lot
997
01:01:18,600 --> 01:01:22,400
of our team had shadowed and
stuff and he was young, and he
998
01:01:22,400 --> 01:01:25,100
had three kids and do is mr.
Smiley.
999
01:01:25,400 --> 01:01:26,900
This guy was phenomenally
gifted.
1000
01:01:26,900 --> 01:01:29,600
I didn't know all about Danny's
story about my head.
1001
01:01:29,600 --> 01:01:31,500
I'm going to go.
This guy's funeral and show up
1002
01:01:31,500 --> 01:01:34,200
for the funeral enough know what
happens if Most people do, but
1003
01:01:34,200 --> 01:01:37,700
people talk about you and your
family says things, and your
1004
01:01:37,700 --> 01:01:41,400
friends, say, things in your
neighbors, and your co-workers.
1005
01:01:41,600 --> 01:01:45,400
And anybody you influence, just
cozy, if, you know the show,
1006
01:01:45,400 --> 01:01:47,900
they care.
Never forget, Danny store
1007
01:01:47,900 --> 01:01:49,800
because it literally was the
most powerful for, you know,
1008
01:01:49,800 --> 01:01:52,100
I've ever sat in as a shared
story.
1009
01:01:52,100 --> 01:01:54,900
After story, after story of how
day need is.
1010
01:01:54,900 --> 01:01:57,600
A lot of people.
I've never been to a funeral.
1011
01:01:57,800 --> 01:02:00,800
That was so powerful about
loving people, because he was
1012
01:02:00,800 --> 01:02:02,800
just Danny, he didn't do
everything right.
1013
01:02:02,900 --> 01:02:04,600
Right.
He was kind of a screwball, it
1014
01:02:04,600 --> 01:02:06,400
was fun.
But he loved people.
1015
01:02:06,400 --> 01:02:09,400
And each other story of a guy.
Those Marine big, dude -
1016
01:02:09,400 --> 01:02:12,400
araignee Smith, real big came
into church.
1017
01:02:12,500 --> 01:02:14,800
Not a Christian.
This guy brought him his Marines
1018
01:02:14,800 --> 01:02:18,000
to his my buddy and Danny runs
up to him, and gives him a big
1019
01:02:18,000 --> 01:02:20,000
hug.
This guy is standoffish.
1020
01:02:20,000 --> 01:02:23,800
And so, Danny snug little tired,
you know, Danny, that's Danny.
1021
01:02:24,400 --> 01:02:28,400
And every week, this guy showed
up to church, week after week,
1022
01:02:28,400 --> 01:02:31,400
after week, after week, to get a
hug from Danny.
1023
01:02:32,500 --> 01:02:37,000
I was like, wow, this is what
the gospel is all about.
1024
01:02:37,700 --> 01:02:41,000
I don't know about you.
But how do you want people to
1025
01:02:41,000 --> 01:02:43,800
remember your life?
Like, what do you want somebody
1026
01:02:43,800 --> 01:02:46,300
to come up here and say about
you at your funeral?
1027
01:02:47,500 --> 01:02:51,400
Like what you want the story to
be like thank God they were here
1028
01:02:51,400 --> 01:02:54,800
for me.
That guy loved people.
1029
01:02:55,000 --> 01:02:57,800
That guy got uncomfortable.
You know, Danny always go to
1030
01:02:57,800 --> 01:02:58,800
restaurants.
Use that guy.
1031
01:02:58,800 --> 01:03:01,100
Those invite people to church.
Don't talk about, right.
1032
01:03:01,100 --> 01:03:03,200
They said well, it's just really
far away can't afford the gas.
1033
01:03:03,200 --> 01:03:05,300
He pulled out a hundred dollar
bill and say gotcha.
1034
01:03:05,800 --> 01:03:08,700
Come on out, like just that kind
of guy.
1035
01:03:09,000 --> 01:03:10,400
Just loving people.
Now.
1036
01:03:10,400 --> 01:03:12,800
I thought man, this is a story.
We all should have I left that
1037
01:03:12,800 --> 01:03:14,600
funeral change because his life
spoke to me.
1038
01:03:14,900 --> 01:03:17,200
And I tell you today that your
life.
1039
01:03:17,400 --> 01:03:20,900
That your love for people can
break the curse and people's
1040
01:03:20,900 --> 01:03:23,300
lives and I told you they're
watching you.
1041
01:03:23,300 --> 01:03:25,900
That Jesus said, you are the
apology, you are the apologetic,
1042
01:03:26,100 --> 01:03:28,400
you are Jesus of this generation
people watching your life.
1043
01:03:28,500 --> 01:03:32,200
And if you love them and you
care for them and you pour into
1044
01:03:32,200 --> 01:03:34,000
them and you want to get too
comfortable.
1045
01:03:34,000 --> 01:03:37,100
The world is like, I cannot
believe that this person is
1046
01:03:37,100 --> 01:03:39,700
still doing this.
How do you stay married that
1047
01:03:39,700 --> 01:03:42,300
long?
How do you put up with this?
1048
01:03:43,000 --> 01:03:45,900
How do you go to that Spork
situation and still have a
1049
01:03:45,900 --> 01:03:48,700
positive attitude?
You'd like, how do you do this
1050
01:03:48,700 --> 01:03:50,900
stuff?
Because they're watching and all
1051
01:03:50,900 --> 01:03:52,700
of a sudden their hearts begins
to change because they're start
1052
01:03:52,700 --> 01:03:55,500
seeing you, but it's not you,
they start seeing Jesus in you.
1053
01:03:55,500 --> 01:03:58,400
Amen.
And so, we have the opportunity
1054
01:03:58,400 --> 01:04:02,000
as Christians to point people to
Jesus.
1055
01:04:02,200 --> 01:04:05,600
The only thing that matters, the
question leave with this is how
1056
01:04:05,600 --> 01:04:09,100
uncomfortable, because there's
nothing comfortable about this
1057
01:04:09,100 --> 01:04:11,400
life because it's not meant for
Comfort.
1058
01:04:11,400 --> 01:04:14,600
It's not our home.
We're just passing through,
1059
01:04:14,900 --> 01:04:17,200
we're foreigners in a four lanes
soon.
1060
01:04:17,300 --> 01:04:19,500
Build.
Big houses will have crazy.
1061
01:04:19,500 --> 01:04:22,800
Nice stuff.
We just push towards Jesus, and
1062
01:04:22,800 --> 01:04:25,600
we bring as many people on the
journey as possible.
1063
01:04:25,600 --> 01:04:28,300
Amen.
So father, we come before you
1064
01:04:28,500 --> 01:04:30,400
now.
Pay will be passionate about
1065
01:04:30,400 --> 01:04:32,200
people.
Gotta pray for our church to be
1066
01:04:32,200 --> 01:04:36,800
most uncomfortable Church in all
of Kansas City because we're not
1067
01:04:36,800 --> 01:04:39,400
about ourselves.
Got her all about your mission.
1068
01:04:39,600 --> 01:04:42,200
You're all about serving you and
pointing people to you.
1069
01:04:42,200 --> 01:04:44,700
And God Is So sobering knowing
that, the only thing that goes
1070
01:04:44,700 --> 01:04:48,100
through eternity with us that we
can take Besides the word of God
1071
01:04:48,100 --> 01:04:50,700
is people.
So help us to be uncomfortable.
1072
01:04:50,700 --> 01:04:53,400
So on a pray for somebody a day,
maybe all of you today.
1073
01:04:53,700 --> 01:04:55,500
Somebody say, you know what?
I'm willing to get uncomfortable
1074
01:04:55,500 --> 01:04:57,800
for Jesus.
It's been it's been maybe
1075
01:04:57,800 --> 01:04:59,300
unconscious a little bit, but
I'm going to be more
1076
01:04:59,300 --> 01:05:01,300
uncomfortable.
I'm going to live my life on
1077
01:05:01,300 --> 01:05:02,700
purpose.
I'm willing to step up.
1078
01:05:02,700 --> 01:05:05,300
I'm going to do whatever God
calls me to do because this
1079
01:05:05,300 --> 01:05:08,400
isn't about me, it's about
Jesus, about people, knowing
1080
01:05:08,400 --> 01:05:09,500
Jesus.
So, that's your day.
1081
01:05:09,500 --> 01:05:11,100
You say I'm willing to go
uncomfortable.
1082
01:05:11,400 --> 01:05:13,500
We put your hand high and say,
that's me today.
1083
01:05:13,500 --> 01:05:15,000
I'm only going to control for
Jesus.
1084
01:05:15,000 --> 01:05:16,400
Come on, put your hand up in
this place.
1085
01:05:17,300 --> 01:05:19,700
I know that you're only getting
comfortable, just kind of put
1086
01:05:19,700 --> 01:05:22,000
that up there and say, yeah, say
and see me, you better put on my
1087
01:05:22,000 --> 01:05:23,800
back.
So I'm going want to pray for
1088
01:05:23,800 --> 01:05:24,400
you.
Father, God.
1089
01:05:24,400 --> 01:05:25,700
Thanks so much for every hand
raised.
1090
01:05:25,700 --> 01:05:27,300
Got every heart, you're moving
in God.
1091
01:05:27,300 --> 01:05:29,800
I pray that we would shape the
world because your power through
1092
01:05:29,800 --> 01:05:30,700
US.
Yes.
1093
01:05:30,700 --> 01:05:32,400
Not about us when it become
about us.
1094
01:05:32,900 --> 01:05:35,500
God's all about you.
So we surrender our life to you.
1095
01:05:35,800 --> 01:05:38,000
Yeah, we were going to rob hell
of death.
1096
01:05:38,400 --> 01:05:39,600
God.
We're going to point, people
1097
01:05:39,600 --> 01:05:42,300
were put up roadblocks.
Got we're loving our neighbor.
1098
01:05:42,500 --> 01:05:43,900
Now.
We're loving our family.
1099
01:05:44,300 --> 01:05:48,000
Got we were full of patience and
kindness and Joy, even though
1100
01:05:48,000 --> 01:05:51,000
the world is pulling us down, we
choose to stand up because we
1101
01:05:51,000 --> 01:05:53,900
know the end of the story, we
know who the victory lies and we
1102
01:05:53,900 --> 01:05:56,200
lead from Victory, not for
victory, Gallop.
1103
01:05:56,200 --> 01:05:59,300
We know who we are today.
So God call us out as a
1104
01:05:59,300 --> 01:06:02,600
generation.
Got to lead guess a church that
1105
01:06:02,600 --> 01:06:06,300
point people to you, God, that
death, even though it's got tons
1106
01:06:06,300 --> 01:06:08,500
of questions.
We know where our eternity is
1107
01:06:08,800 --> 01:06:11,300
got, we know that that an empty
grave God.
1108
01:06:11,300 --> 01:06:13,900
It means somebody's present with
Jesus, and they just beat us
1109
01:06:13,900 --> 01:06:15,800
home.
So we're counting down the days.
1110
01:06:15,800 --> 01:06:18,000
God.
We were numbered our We know
1111
01:06:18,000 --> 01:06:20,800
exactly where we stand and just
a dash.
1112
01:06:20,800 --> 01:06:23,600
In a moment.
We know that our days are
1113
01:06:23,600 --> 01:06:26,000
numbered God help us to know
mortality and the brevity of
1114
01:06:26,000 --> 01:06:29,100
life because we're living on
Mission in this season.
1115
01:06:29,300 --> 01:06:30,800
Gonna pray for one more group
people and that's those.
1116
01:06:30,800 --> 01:06:32,800
You say, no, I recognize who
Jesus is today.
1117
01:06:33,100 --> 01:06:34,800
I recognize that Jesus broke the
curse.
1118
01:06:34,800 --> 01:06:37,600
I've been down this on my own.
I've been fined, depression of
1119
01:06:37,600 --> 01:06:39,000
the find anxiety.
I'm going through some deep
1120
01:06:39,000 --> 01:06:40,700
stuff.
I've been running and running
1121
01:06:40,700 --> 01:06:42,400
and running from God.
I had no idea has been chasing
1122
01:06:42,400 --> 01:06:43,700
you.
But today, I know Jesus has been
1123
01:06:43,700 --> 01:06:46,400
chasing me and that's you.
The Bible says this image called
1124
01:06:46,400 --> 01:06:48,900
the name of Jesus.
Yes, we saved forgiven and made
1125
01:06:48,900 --> 01:06:50,600
new.
You believe that Jesus died on
1126
01:06:50,600 --> 01:06:53,600
the cross for your sins and rose
again, that you will have a home
1127
01:06:53,800 --> 01:06:55,500
in heaven.
He'll forgive you, and make, you
1128
01:06:55,500 --> 01:06:57,600
need a day and you don't just
get to spend eternity with
1129
01:06:57,600 --> 01:06:58,700
Heaven.
You start to, spend eternity
1130
01:06:58,700 --> 01:07:01,400
with Jesus.
Now, you start leading and
1131
01:07:01,400 --> 01:07:04,700
following and know who you are
and be different and made whole
1132
01:07:04,800 --> 01:07:05,900
house.
Is your new creation.
1133
01:07:05,900 --> 01:07:08,500
So, if you need Jesus today, you
say yes to him.
1134
01:07:08,500 --> 01:07:10,200
Maybe online in person.
Whatever.
1135
01:07:10,400 --> 01:07:11,100
You need.
Jesus.
1136
01:07:11,100 --> 01:07:12,900
We put your hand high.
So I need Jesus a day.
1137
01:07:12,900 --> 01:07:14,900
If that's you.
Come on, put your hand high at

Chained up.
1139
01:07:17,300 --> 01:07:19,600
Meanwhile, 90 Jesus.
I want to lead you in a prayer
1140
01:07:19,600 --> 01:07:21,300

got thanks so much for sending

You always had a plan.
1143
01:07:25,900 --> 01:07:28,800
You never left this by ourselves
God, you ran towards us.
1144
01:07:28,800 --> 01:07:30,800
So we ran away from you and
today I'm running back to you
1145
01:07:30,800 --> 01:07:34,100
because I recognize who Jesus is
the down, across my sins and
1146
01:07:34,100 --> 01:07:36,900
pray, you can have my life and I
serve you praise in Jesus name.
1147
01:07:37,400 --> 01:07:38,100
Amen.

made that decision when we are
so excited for you today.
1151
01:07:48,300 --> 01:07:52,500
You're choosing life to be
alive, not dead in sins but
1152
01:07:52,500 --> 01:07:55,100
alive to God.
And so we have a couple of next

To get you started on that
Journey, but also a place where
1159
01:08:11,600 --> 01:08:14,900
you can share your Because we
would love to celebrate what God
1160
01:08:14,900 --> 01:08:18,600
is doing with you today.
Or if you're here with us in
1161
01:08:18,600 --> 01:08:20,399
person at Kentucky Trail on the
way out.
1162
01:08:20,399 --> 01:08:23,800
There's a table with some red
bags inside as a free Bible and
1163
01:08:23,800 --> 01:08:27,000
also a letter just to explain
some of those resources for you.
1164
01:08:27,000 --> 01:08:29,700
So please take one of those on
your way out today.
1165
01:08:30,100 --> 01:08:33,700
And then for all of us to have a
few next steps today, man, the
1166
01:08:33,700 --> 01:08:37,600
only things that will go with us
into eternity is the word of God
1167
01:08:37,700 --> 01:08:39,500
and people.
And that's a powerful thought
1168
01:08:39,500 --> 01:08:43,000
about how we spend everyday, all
the things that we do and so So
1169
01:08:43,100 --> 01:08:45,700
I want to encourage you.
We are coming up on our fall,
1170
01:08:45,700 --> 01:08:48,399
life group semester and maybe
you're thinking, man.
1171
01:08:48,399 --> 01:08:51,600
This might be something that God
is calling me to maybe attending
1172
01:08:51,600 --> 01:08:54,399
a life group for the first time,
but also may be leading a life
1173
01:08:54,399 --> 01:08:56,899
group for the first time and
what I love about our life
1174
01:08:56,899 --> 01:09:00,600
groups are real life is that you
don't have to come up with some
1175
01:09:00,600 --> 01:09:04,500
magical, amazing thing to bring
people together to follow Jesus.
1176
01:09:04,500 --> 01:09:07,600
You can go out and serve, you
know, your friends every
1177
01:09:07,600 --> 01:09:10,300
Wednesday night meal and do that
together.
1178
01:09:10,300 --> 01:09:14,100
You can watch football together,
you can Through a Bible study
1179
01:09:14,300 --> 01:09:17,500
together, but the point is that
it's taking the things you
1180
01:09:17,500 --> 01:09:19,300
already love to do and you're
working together.
1181
01:09:19,300 --> 01:09:22,399
Let's take that time and invest
it into people of God and
1182
01:09:22,399 --> 01:09:26,000
Inspire them to be able to find
Freedom and live the life that
1183
01:09:26,000 --> 01:09:28,899
they need to live.
And so if that's something that
1184
01:09:28,899 --> 01:09:30,200
God's been working on your
heart.
1185
01:09:30,200 --> 01:09:32,000
I want you to reach out to Holly
Holcomb.
1186
01:09:32,000 --> 01:09:34,500
She is here today.
Her email address is on the
1187
01:09:34,500 --> 01:09:36,700

process, to help you be fully
1189
01:09:39,200 --> 01:09:43,800

1190
01:09:43,800 --> 01:09:47,700

01:09:50,700 --> 01:09:54,300
Apartments to reach our
community for Jesus.
1193
01:09:54,300 --> 01:09:57,500
And this is an incredible
opportunity to go and be the
1194
01:09:57,500 --> 01:09:59,600
hands and feet of Jesus.
Alongside people.
1195
01:09:59,600 --> 01:10:03,500
Connecting with people sharing
their Vision, sharing your our
1196
01:10:03,500 --> 01:10:06,600

community for Jesus.

difference, be the hands and
1199
01:10:11,200 --> 01:10:14,300

1200
01:10:14,300 --> 01:10:16,400
God out of these walls to our
community.
1201
01:10:16,600 --> 01:10:18,700
Let me know.
We're looking for a person, a
1202
01:10:18,700 --> 01:10:21,800

1203
01:10:21,800 --> 01:10:25,000
And to be sent out as part of
real life to make a difference.
1204
01:10:25,000 --> 01:10:27,400
And so I would love to connect
you with more information or if
1205
01:10:27,400 --> 01:10:30,600
you have any questions and
lastly, is this Sean said that
1206
01:10:30,600 --> 01:10:33,500
the thing we have in common is
spending and the first thing
1207
01:10:33,500 --> 01:10:36,700
that came to my mind is how easy
it is to go and spend about how
1208
01:10:36,700 --> 01:10:40,100
hard it is.
Sometimes to go and invest and I
1209
01:10:40,100 --> 01:10:42,600
think about the times that I've
had the opportunity to give
1210
01:10:42,600 --> 01:10:44,100
back.
Back to somebody who's hurting
1211
01:10:44,300 --> 01:10:47,600
to give to a cause that means
something to me or to be able to
1212
01:10:47,600 --> 01:10:50,700
give and see the power of God
move in someone's life, through
1213
01:10:50,700 --> 01:10:53,600
a counseling session or to see
somebody come to Jesus, or to
1214
01:10:53,600 --> 01:10:55,800
see a young person, give their
life to God.
1215
01:10:56,000 --> 01:10:58,600
And I don't ever regret that
investment that I've made into
1216
01:10:58,600 --> 01:11:01,200
what God is doing.
So I'd love to challenge you.
1217
01:11:01,300 --> 01:11:04,100
If you've never thought about
investing in what God is doing
1218
01:11:04,300 --> 01:11:07,300
to be a part of that here at
real life because your blessing
1219
01:11:07,300 --> 01:11:10,300
that you will receive back will
be exponentially greater than
1220
01:11:10,300 --> 01:11:12,600
you ever could have thought.
And you can do that three ways.
1221
01:11:12,900 --> 01:11:16,100

With Pastor shot next week.
We dive into a question that
1244
01:12:35,800 --> 01:12:40,100
hits home for all of us.
We've all had tragedy strike
1245
01:12:40,100 --> 01:12:43,700
this last week.
Eek we've seen the unimaginable
1246
01:12:43,700 --> 01:12:48,700
pain and Afghanistan in Haiti.
Many of us have empty chairs
1247
01:12:48,700 --> 01:12:51,300
around our tables, from bad
things that have wrecked our
1248
01:12:51,300 --> 01:12:54,700
lives.
So join us next Sunday.
1249
01:12:54,700 --> 01:12:58,600
As Pastor, Sean jumps into
another heartfelt message with
1250
01:12:58,600 --> 01:13:02,200
another hidden question.
Why do bad things happen to good
1251
01:13:02,200 --> 01:13:05,700
people?
I'm so looking forward to that.
1252
01:13:06,400 --> 01:13:16,200
See you next week.
There were part of a church that
1253
01:13:16,200 --> 01:13:18,800
we can get to ask the hard
questions, the questions we all
1254
01:13:18,800 --> 01:13:20,200
have in our minds, man.
Pastor, Sean.
1255
01:13:20,200 --> 01:13:21,300
What a great job.
What a?
1256
01:13:21,500 --> 01:13:24,200
What a challenge to know that
God has something for us
1257
01:13:24,200 --> 01:13:26,600
something that we should be for
not just something that we're
1258
01:13:26,600 --> 01:13:29,000

00:01:49,500 --> 00:02:13,800
This Is My Testimony.
Who praises of the spirit?
10
00:03:45,800 --> 00:04:08,700

This morning, this next song, he
is for you.
12
00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:02,000
He'll never let you down.
He's got your back today.
13
00:05:02,500 --> 00:05:04,800
Let's get into that together as
we continue to see him.
14
00:05:55,200 --> 00:07:46,000
You are, you are.
You're Never Gonna Let You Never
15
00:07:46,000 --> 00:09:35,600
Gonna Let Me Down your
God is good.
16
00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:58,700
I've searched the world.
He couldn't feel me.
17
00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:27,900
Treasures of you came along.
Here.
18
00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:28,200
He turns those Graves into
Gardens, and if you believe
19
00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:30,900
everything we just sang in

20
00:15:30,900 --> 00:15:32,200

This has been just an amazing
morning so far.
26
00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:47,000
Before we do anything else.
Can we give it a big one?
27
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:48,700

33
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:03,500

you.
This morning.
57
00:17:08,900 --> 00:17:12,200
I got a challenge for he also,
if you're brand new, what would
58
00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:16,599
happen if you gave God these
next three Sundays to come on
59
00:17:16,599 --> 00:17:19,200
back to Real Life Church.
To click that link in?
60
00:17:19,500 --> 00:17:22,099
What could he just do in your
life?
61
00:17:22,099 --> 00:17:25,900
What relationships will you form
with other believers?
62
00:17:26,099 --> 00:17:29,000
What shrews from the Bible that
maybe you didn't know before?
63
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:31,600
Will he reveal to you?
Well, I don't know.
64
00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:33,400
And you won't know either,
unless you come back.
65
00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:36,700
Out the next three weeks, but
seriously, we'd love to see you
66
00:17:36,900 --> 00:17:40,200
and I hope the oldest think on
that of prey on that this
67
00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:42,500
afternoon.
Well, let me tell you a little
68
00:17:42,500 --> 00:17:46,200
bit more about Real Life Church.
We are a church on a mission and
69
00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:51,000
that mission is to see people
far from God discover their real
70
00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:54,700
life and purpose in Jesus.
And so another way we like to
71
00:17:54,700 --> 00:17:58,000
say that we're church for the
unchurched.
72
00:17:58,100 --> 00:18:01,900
So wherever you are on that
spectrum of you know, you've
73
00:18:01,900 --> 00:18:05,000
been a Believer for a Year's A
relationship with God in the
74
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:06,800
word every day.
You're just looking for a church
75
00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:10,100
home all the way to.
I have no clue what the Bible
76
00:18:10,100 --> 00:18:11,300
says.
I couldn't find a book.
77
00:18:11,300 --> 00:18:14,400
If you ask me to, I've heard of
Jesus, don't know a lot about
78
00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:18,300
him wherever you fall.
On that Spectrum, you're in the
79
00:18:18,300 --> 00:18:20,400
right place.
You're in the right place.
80
00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:23,600
You don't have to know a lot to
be here.
81
00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:26,100
A real-life Church.
You'll fit right in with several
82
00:18:26,100 --> 00:18:27,600
of us.
And that's okay.
83
00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:30,200
I just encourage you to be
thinking about the people in
84
00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:35,000
your life that are close to you,
but far from God, what just
85
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:39,200
impact that God can have on
their life, and their journey
86
00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:42,300
and their real life and purpose
and you invited them out,
87
00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:45,300
sometime this fall, that would
be huge.
88
00:18:45,300 --> 00:18:49,700
So again, thanks for being here.
You know, I have a question for
89
00:18:49,700 --> 00:18:54,600
you who was super challenged
last week when we started the
90
00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:59,200
brand new series questions man,
I was challenge is really good.
91
00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:00,300
But, you know, it was really
cool.
92
00:19:00,500 --> 00:19:03,300
Coming out of, that was learning
that it's okay.
93
00:19:03,500 --> 00:19:07,000
When we have doubts, that God
invites them, right?
94
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:09,700
God just doesn't want us to be
aimless and all that Subway.
95
00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:12,700
We're gonna tackle something
deep today.
96
00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:15,900
Alright, so buckle in and it's
going to be another challenging,
97
00:19:16,700 --> 00:19:19,000
a challenging message today, but
I know you're going to leave
98
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:23,600
here filled with hope and maybe
even a few more questions.
99
00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:26,200
So these are the kind of
questions that we hide from
100
00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:29,900
people that we've been wrestling
with and Shawn just gonna just
101
00:19:29,900 --> 00:19:32,500
take us on a deep dive today.
So I want you to lean in.
102
00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:35,700
Listen to what he To say coming.
Come at this with an open heart
103
00:19:35,700 --> 00:19:37,800
and mind give it up for pastor.
Sean.
104
00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:39,300
Petry has?
He died.
105
00:19:39,300 --> 00:19:42,000
Listen to what's beyond this
life.
106
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:42,800
Give it up for.
Sean.
107
00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:44,800
Come on.
He's got a word.
108
00:19:46,300 --> 00:19:49,000
That's why I drew this guy.
A spiritual we use.
109
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:52,500
I'm telling you every Sunday.
So he puts all spiritual we so.
110
00:19:52,700 --> 00:19:54,000
Hey, thanks for being house
today, man.
111
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:55,900
I'm really excited to see what
God's going to do.
112
00:19:56,300 --> 00:19:58,500
You guys decide to go back to
school, send the kids off.
113
00:19:58,500 --> 00:20:01,300
Come on one person.
That's cool.
114
00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:03,400
Love it.
They're like man.
115
00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:06,800
I'm missing somewhere already.
So hey, I want to give a shout
116
00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:08,900

today.
117
00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:11,400
Our church has been growing and
we have a lot of people to join
118
00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:13,100

She does way more than just a
serve here on a Sunday.
137
00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:00,900
Just helping people especially
this last few weeks.
138
00:21:00,900 --> 00:21:02,900

So, thank you so much.
My love about you this last
140
00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:07,000
week.
I talked to her and these are
141
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:09,900
snowbirds, by the way, they have
little place down in Texas.
142
00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:13,200
And so she goes, hey, when we

143
00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:15,800

serve the church?
144
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:17,900
Well, I'm not even here.

So very, very cool.
147
00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:26,100
So, give her Kim one more time.
Just graduate this Sunday.
148
00:21:28,700 --> 00:21:30,100
Drew, these are all people.
You've been training.
149
00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:32,100
So second person.
She doesn't serve into the
150
00:21:32,100 --> 00:21:35,100
second Gathering, but just
completely gifted for people get
151
00:21:35,100 --> 00:21:37,000
to evangelism.
When Jesus talks about leave the
152
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:39,700
99 and go find the one.
She literally took that
153
00:21:39,700 --> 00:21:42,200
seriously and went to find the
one like she goes out.
154
00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:43,600
To people brings them every
week.
155
00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:44,700
She served she's looking for
somebody.
156
00:21:44,700 --> 00:21:47,300
She's invited is incredible.
And so I don't know if she's in
157
00:21:47,300 --> 00:21:50,200
the house, don't think she is.
But Rochelle Morlock, come on,

00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:52,100

lover.
159

Very very gifted for people.
It's just sort of centime just

00:21:56,800 --> 00:21:58,300

So very very exciting.
161
00:21:58,500 --> 00:22:00,800
May God's doing cool stuff and I
can't believe I'm saying this
162
00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:04,200

167
00:22:14,100 --> 00:22:16,900
So it's a baptism right here in
the front and I would encourage
168
00:22:16,900 --> 00:22:18,900
you.
This is so significant for your
169
00:22:18,900 --> 00:22:22,300
spiritual life and for us to the
church to see what God is doing.
170
00:22:22,300 --> 00:22:25,800
So, if I'm a decision for Jesus.
If you've raised your hand and
171
00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:28,600
said I'm all in for Jesus made
it, maybe you're a youth camp
172
00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:31,300
and came to Christ during the
kids area, maybe in a life
173
00:22:31,300 --> 00:22:34,600
group, maybe online, whatever,
and you've never been baptized.
174
00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:37,200
I would encourage you to go to
our website and just get signed
175
00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:38,300
up.
Even if you're not a hundred
176
00:22:38,300 --> 00:22:40,300
percent, sure you want to get
baptized because we're going to
177
00:22:40,300 --> 00:22:43,100
walk you through the process and
see if it's a fit for you and
178
00:22:43,100 --> 00:22:44,500
make sure you understand what
you're doing.
179
00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:46,100
So don't freak out.
Like we're just going to say,
180
00:22:46,100 --> 00:22:47,300
okay.
We'll see that Sunday.
181
00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:48,500
We want to help you through
that.
182
00:22:48,500 --> 00:22:50,700
It's just such a huge, huge
celebration.
183
00:22:50,700 --> 00:22:52,600
There's no better way to
celebrate with guys doing this.
184
00:22:52,800 --> 00:22:54,100
People's life changed.
Amen.
185
00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:56,700
And we're going to go, we're
going to hear ya.
186
00:22:57,700 --> 00:22:58,600
We're gonna get through this
morning.
187
00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:01,400
I'm telling you, we're going to
start slow by the way, cuz I
188
00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:03,700
know my message and we're going
to end really, really big.
189
00:23:03,700 --> 00:23:07,000
So I'm excited to get started.
This is a question series
190
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:10,400
questions while think about, but
seldom ask and so on.
191
00:23:10,408 --> 00:23:12,900
You guys, texting your questions
are all questions.
192
00:23:12,900 --> 00:23:15,300
Nice 7000.
And so many you guys texting
193
00:23:15,300 --> 00:23:17,700
questions last week.
It was awesome over 30 people.
194
00:23:17,900 --> 00:23:20,500
Some of the questions are crazy
like, is water wet.
195
00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:25,200
That was a good one, Drew.
I don't, he's not take a He's
196
00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:29,400
not allowed to answer shift, but
there's a lot of great questions
197
00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:31,900
and I had a great time on social
media, just diving, through,
198
00:23:31,900 --> 00:23:33,500
different questions, and answers
this week.
199
00:23:33,500 --> 00:23:36,500
I'm going to sit down at Diana
Tuesday at 1 o'clock and we'll
200
00:23:36,500 --> 00:23:39,000
be down at our lake house.
So you can check that out.
201
00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:40,500
I'll know.
Hopefully, they actually get
202
00:23:40,500 --> 00:23:42,500
better than my house.
So it will go better than last
203
00:23:42,500 --> 00:23:44,800
time and basis walk through your
questions.
204
00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:47,400
So text them in and then we're
going to get answers and help
205
00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:49,800
point you to resources and just
really just give me a spiritual
206
00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:51,900
encouragement.
So get your phones out all day
207
00:23:51,900 --> 00:23:53,700
long.
Well, today is a kind of a
208
00:23:53,700 --> 00:23:56,500
heavier question.
It's a more difficult question,
209
00:23:56,500 --> 00:24:00,000
is something you all think about
and very very often don't ask
210
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:02,600
and don't really want to think
about so we're start little slow
211
00:24:02,900 --> 00:24:05,100
and kind of build up.
But the question is this, what
212
00:24:05,100 --> 00:24:10,000
is beyond this life?
Like what happens when I die?
213
00:24:10,100 --> 00:24:12,800
What's all about, you know, to
guarantees in life, right?
214
00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:16,500
Death and taxes and you're going
to pay them both.
215
00:24:16,900 --> 00:24:18,200
It's going to happen.
Matt fact.
216
00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:20,400
Jesus said this way, in Hebrews
9:27.
217
00:24:20,500 --> 00:24:23,900
He said it's appointed unto men
once to die.
218
00:24:24,500 --> 00:24:26,500
There's no.
It meant that we all have with
219
00:24:26,500 --> 00:24:30,600
death whether we like or not or
what to be that way, that is
220
00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:33,900
reality, statistically proven
that you're going to die.
221
00:24:34,100 --> 00:24:38,000
Now unless you're like Elijah or
Enoch who didn't die.
222
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:39,900
Come on somebody, that'd be
really fun.
223
00:24:39,900 --> 00:24:42,200
Just skip that step.
But I know if it made up for
224
00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:45,100
with like Lazarus and other
people that were raised from the
225
00:24:45,100 --> 00:24:47,600
dead on, if it equals out
statistics, but there's no
226
00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:50,100
chance we're going to make it
without passing through to the
227
00:24:50,108 --> 00:24:52,200
other side.
And so what is death?
228
00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:54,800
All about, like what happens
when we die?
229
00:24:54,900 --> 00:24:57,900
Die for some of us, maybe
believe it may be just as the
230
00:24:57,900 --> 00:25:00,400
world teaches this.
But we believe Evolution and we
231
00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:03,300
kind of all by happened.
Chance, this came to being and
232
00:25:03,300 --> 00:25:05,800
then we die.
We just cease to exist.
233
00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:08,400
I've got people like that in my
family where they believe you
234
00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:10,500
just that's it.
It's just over and there's so
235
00:25:10,500 --> 00:25:13,000
many people in the world that
believe that do we do is a real
236
00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:15,400
heaven.
Is there a real hell like do I
237
00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:18,100
get to recognize people?
What it is?
238
00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:20,900
Is there like a medium place,
like Purgatory or do?
239
00:25:20,900 --> 00:25:24,600
We is it all for eternity or do
we or do we get annihilated like
240
00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:27,100
what?
Happens in eternity and there's
241
00:25:27,100 --> 00:25:29,600
all these questions around
death.
242
00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:32,200
All these thoughts and processes
now, it's going to start out by
243
00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:35,200
saying it's a hundred percent
natural to question, everything
244
00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:37,400
about death.
Now facts all hunters and Ashley
245
00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:40,400
have all the feelings about
death may be scared of death or
246
00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:42,500
be afraid of death and I
understand death.
247
00:25:42,500 --> 00:25:45,200
I mean death is very Bleak
obviously permanent.
248
00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:49,100
We've all stood at the edge of a
graveside and wondered what is
249
00:25:49,100 --> 00:25:52,400
on the other side.
And so today we often forget
250
00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:53,500
something that's very
significant.
251
00:25:53,500 --> 00:25:54,600
I think we're going to talk
about death.
252
00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:56,500
We To kind of start where death
started.
253
00:25:56,600 --> 00:25:59,100
We're going to go back to the
origin of death because
254
00:25:59,100 --> 00:26:02,300
oftentimes we forget there was a
time there wasn't death often
255
00:26:02,300 --> 00:26:04,100
times.
You forget that death wasn't the
256
00:26:04,100 --> 00:26:07,400
way there was actually a way
that wouldn't even lead to
257
00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:09,100
death.
Matter of fact, Adam and Eve
258
00:26:09,100 --> 00:26:11,300
were in the garden.
They walked face-to-face with
259
00:26:11,300 --> 00:26:14,300
God every single day, perfect
communion.
260
00:26:14,500 --> 00:26:17,100
They had conversations with the
maker.
261
00:26:17,300 --> 00:26:20,200
They had perfect Fellowship.
All things are put together,
262
00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:23,100
don't you to imagine would have
been, like, if Adam or Eve never
263
00:26:23,100 --> 00:26:24,800
sinned?
This is pretty awesome thought.
264
00:26:25,100 --> 00:26:27,900
You know, they were naked and
unashamed come all somebody and
265
00:26:27,900 --> 00:26:29,600
so they would have lived
forever.
266
00:26:29,900 --> 00:26:32,500
They would never sinned and have
had a death ever, lived forever.
267
00:26:32,500 --> 00:26:35,300
And so, if you think about their
kids would have been living
268
00:26:35,300 --> 00:26:38,200
forever, and their grandkids,
and all of humanity, and
269
00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:40,400
literally have been naked.
So, Jesus would have started the
270
00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:42,100
first nudist colony.
Come on somebody.
271
00:26:42,700 --> 00:26:43,900
I'm just it's biblical.
I did.
272
00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:46,000
I'm not making this up.
You should read the Bible.
273
00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:47,500
It's very selfish right there.
Genesis.
274
00:26:47,500 --> 00:26:50,900
Wanted to just read it yourself,
but look this there's no killing
275
00:26:51,100 --> 00:26:52,600
in the Bible.
Matter of fact, Adam and Eve
276
00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:54,200
were vegetarians.
Come on, where's the
277
00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:55,700
vegetarians?
And Now say Amen.
278
00:26:56,400 --> 00:26:57,600
Exactly.
Didn't think I was that kind of
279
00:26:57,600 --> 00:27:00,400
church.
Now, some of you are right, but
280
00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:01,900
it's all good, your super
healthy.
281
00:27:01,900 --> 00:27:04,200
You putting us to shame your
secret vegetarians.
282
00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:05,800
By the way.
Got some doubts about little
283
00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:06,400
shame.
It's okay.
284
00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:08,700
It's cool.
But there's no, killing not
285
00:27:08,700 --> 00:27:11,000
know, but nobody thought they're
all vegetarians that there is
286
00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:13,400
they live forever.
And I think about the animals,
287
00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:16,000
and they wouldn't fight.
And so there's actually like,
288
00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:20,200
none of this basically Primal
food chain that would occur.
289
00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:22,500
Matter of fact, we could get in
the ocean and won't be afraid to
290
00:27:22,500 --> 00:27:25,100
be eaten by a shark.
Come on somebody because it They
291
00:27:25,100 --> 00:27:26,600
did nothing attached to each
other.
292
00:27:26,700 --> 00:27:29,300
Like it was in Perfect Harmony,
all in unison.
293
00:27:29,300 --> 00:27:32,700
And verify this, what Isaiah
says about that time periods of
294
00:27:32,700 --> 00:27:34,500
Prophecy of the future, what it
would be like.
295
00:27:34,500 --> 00:27:36,600
That's actually a picture of the
garden as found.
296
00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:39,900
Isaiah 11:2 says, the wolf will
lay down with the lamb, like
297
00:27:39,900 --> 00:27:42,600
they won't kill each other.
Well the wolf not kill him, the
298
00:27:42,600 --> 00:27:44,600
leopard will lay down with the
goat, the calf, and The Lion,
299
00:27:44,600 --> 00:27:47,600
and the yearling together, and a
little child shall lead them.
300
00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:51,300
I love this, the cow will feed
with the bear, not feed the
301
00:27:51,300 --> 00:27:52,400
bear.
Come also by this little
302
00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:54,700
different head circle.
The word with, I don't mess that
303
00:27:54,700 --> 00:27:56,100
up.
Up and their young will lie.
304
00:27:56,100 --> 00:27:58,800
Together, lion will eat straw
like the ox infant will play
305
00:27:58,800 --> 00:28:01,900
near the cobras in the young.
Child will put his hand into the
306
00:28:01,900 --> 00:28:06,900
Viper's Nest when there's a time
period where death didn't exist.
307
00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:10,200
We often forget about this.
Go back to the very origin.
308
00:28:10,300 --> 00:28:13,100
We walked with God had perfect
communion.
309
00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:16,800
We're living forever, and then
send changed, everything.
310
00:28:16,900 --> 00:28:20,400
Matter of fact, it destroyed and
dismantled and brought death
311
00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:24,700
into our culture and our lives.
Matter of fact, that's weird.
312
00:28:24,900 --> 00:28:27,500
Most started fighting each other
and you had the top dog animals
313
00:28:27,500 --> 00:28:29,300
now about you.
I got a cat and a dog and they
314
00:28:29,300 --> 00:28:30,800
fight every day for the last six
years.
315
00:28:30,800 --> 00:28:33,300
Come on somebody.
And the cat always wins.
316
00:28:33,300 --> 00:28:35,500
Can you believe it?
So I know the Egyptians are
317
00:28:35,500 --> 00:28:37,300
probably do something.
They probably do something to my
318
00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:40,800
about this, but Romans 8 says
this about creation and sin.
319
00:28:40,800 --> 00:28:44,800
It says, we know the whole
creation has been groaning as in
320
00:28:44,800 --> 00:28:49,300
Pains of childbirth, right up to
this present time.
321
00:28:49,500 --> 00:28:53,500
So you send just affect us, it
affected, everything matter of
322
00:28:53,500 --> 00:28:55,900
fact, it infected.
Good creation.
323
00:28:55,900 --> 00:28:58,900
And that's what have tornadoes
and even just rain.
324
00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:02,400
And you have tsunamis, and
earthquakes and thunder, storms
325
00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:04,400
and hurricanes.
All this happened because
326
00:29:04,400 --> 00:29:08,800
creation is now battling with
itself because of sin.
327
00:29:09,100 --> 00:29:10,800
And so, when you think about
death, you think there's this
328
00:29:10,800 --> 00:29:12,500
nothing natural that feels about
like this.
329
00:29:12,500 --> 00:29:16,300
Not this smooth transition.
It's because it isn't, there's
330
00:29:16,300 --> 00:29:20,200
nothing natural about death.
That wasn't the original play.
331
00:29:20,400 --> 00:29:23,600
See there was a time where God
want us to be together with him
332
00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:26,500
and there was no sin.
There Is No Death come off, but
333
00:29:26,500 --> 00:29:29,100
there's no hearses.
There's no obituaries section
334
00:29:29,100 --> 00:29:31,800
the newspaper.
Come on, there's no green tents.
335
00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:34,600
There's no six-foot hole.
There's no casket.
336
00:29:34,600 --> 00:29:37,600
There's no tombstones my
preaching to somebody today.
337
00:29:38,100 --> 00:29:41,000
Come on this didn't exist.
This wasn't reality.
338
00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:43,900
And so we think about death it
is completely awkward and
339
00:29:43,900 --> 00:29:47,800
completely unnatural because is
the curse of sin that sin
340
00:29:47,800 --> 00:29:49,400
changed everything.
So I think there's go back to
341
00:29:49,408 --> 00:29:51,900
the beginning and take a look of
how the send Aaron is.
342
00:29:51,900 --> 00:29:54,900
In Genesis 3, if you've got your
Bible, it says this now The
343
00:29:54,900 --> 00:29:57,500
serpent was more crafty than any
of the wild animals.
344
00:29:57,500 --> 00:30:01,500
The Lord God had made, and he
said to the woman, did God,
345
00:30:01,500 --> 00:30:07,300
really say the first time that
Humanity begins to question God,
346
00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:09,800
like, in this, God, be trusted.
Did he really say that?
347
00:30:10,100 --> 00:30:13,500
Does he have my best in mind?
Could drive to believe God or
348
00:30:13,500 --> 00:30:17,200
should I should, I believe
myself in the same said you must
349
00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:18,300
not eat of any tree of the
garden.
350
00:30:18,300 --> 00:30:19,700
Did he really say that?
And the woman said to the
351
00:30:19,700 --> 00:30:22,900
serpent, we may eat fruit from
the Trees of the garden, but God
352
00:30:22,900 --> 00:30:24,700
did say she quoted.
Got she got it, right.
353
00:30:24,900 --> 00:30:26,900
Must not eat from the fruit in
the tree.
354
00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:29,600
There's in the middle of the
garden and you must not touch
355
00:30:29,600 --> 00:30:33,300
it, or you will die.
And Satan says this to Eve says,
356
00:30:33,500 --> 00:30:37,900
you will not certainly die.
This lie is planted into her
357
00:30:37,900 --> 00:30:39,800
mind.
The surface said, the woman for
358
00:30:39,800 --> 00:30:42,300
God knows that.
When you eat from it, your eyes
359
00:30:42,300 --> 00:30:47,000
will be opened and you will be
like God knowing good and evil.
360
00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:50,100
And for the first time
Humanities wondering does, God,
361
00:30:50,100 --> 00:30:54,100
have my best intentions in mind.
Can I trust God?
362
00:30:54,100 --> 00:30:56,800
It's got holes.
Wholesome back for me, is God,
363
00:30:56,800 --> 00:31:00,200
keeping the best away from me.
Can I really trust that?
364
00:31:00,300 --> 00:31:02,800
And when the woman saw, the
fruit of the tree was good for
365
00:31:02,800 --> 00:31:07,500
food and please the eye and also
desirable for gaining wisdom.
366
00:31:07,700 --> 00:31:10,100
All of a sudden she want to be
like God, she will know good and
367
00:31:10,100 --> 00:31:10,900
evil.
Before this.
368
00:31:10,900 --> 00:31:13,800
They had no idea about the
separation of Good and Evil.
369
00:31:13,900 --> 00:31:16,700
They just didn't exist.
There was no identity in sin.
370
00:31:16,900 --> 00:31:19,600
And so she took some a native,
and she gave some to her husband
371
00:31:19,700 --> 00:31:22,900
who was with her and he ate and
all of a sudden everything
372
00:31:22,900 --> 00:31:26,800
changed for us.
Is the beginning of the
373
00:31:26,800 --> 00:31:30,500
beginning, like for our story of
sin, all of a sudden our
374
00:31:30,500 --> 00:31:36,600
identity changed these words, I
me in mine in the dictionary.
375
00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:39,400
They didn't exist before this
matter of fact, Adam Eve look
376
00:31:39,400 --> 00:31:41,300
down.
Like I'm naked.
377
00:31:41,500 --> 00:31:43,600
All of a sudden, they realized
imperfections.
378
00:31:43,700 --> 00:31:46,900
They saw shame and they sawed
out this all anxiety and
379
00:31:46,900 --> 00:31:49,500
depression in guilt, and they
were good enough.
380
00:31:49,500 --> 00:31:50,900
And so they ran and hid
themselves.
381
00:31:50,900 --> 00:31:53,400
They built close hide parts of
their body.
382
00:31:53,600 --> 00:31:57,200
And then the saddest part.
The story hits, they hid and I
383
00:31:57,208 --> 00:32:01,800
ran from God for the first time
humanity turned his back on God,
384
00:32:01,800 --> 00:32:06,300
and ran from Jesus.
In the truth, is we're still
385
00:32:06,300 --> 00:32:09,600
running today.
This is the story of sin
386
00:32:09,600 --> 00:32:12,700
entering into the picture.
This is the first time death
387
00:32:12,700 --> 00:32:15,700
comes into the picture as well.
In Genesis 3, goes on to say,
388
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:18,300
this is God looking for Adam
after he's hidden.
389
00:32:18,700 --> 00:32:21,100
He said, where are you?
And the man said, the woman he
390
00:32:21,100 --> 00:32:25,200
put me here with all of a sudden
Adams like hey if you Make that
391
00:32:25,200 --> 00:32:26,800
woman.
It's your fault.
392
00:32:26,800 --> 00:32:30,100
God, if you didn't bring her
here, like I would never in that
393
00:32:30,100 --> 00:32:33,100
apple and she gave me some fruit
of the tree and I ate it.
394
00:32:33,100 --> 00:32:36,100
So it's my wife's fault because
they are married, that never
395
00:32:36,100 --> 00:32:38,900
gets in 2021, is my wife's
fault.
396
00:32:38,900 --> 00:32:41,800
It's my spouse's fault.
And the Lord said to the woman.
397
00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:43,200
What is it?
You have done.
398
00:32:43,300 --> 00:32:46,800
And the woman said it was the
serpent who deceived me and I
399
00:32:46,800 --> 00:32:50,600
ate it Satan baby do it.
Come on somebody, like she did
400
00:32:50,600 --> 00:32:53,100
make her own choice.
And so, lord said to Satan
401
00:32:53,100 --> 00:32:56,300
because you have done this.
Cursed, come on say the word
402
00:32:56,300 --> 00:33:00,800
cursed cursed, says cursed.
Are you above all livestock,
403
00:33:00,800 --> 00:33:03,000
talking to Satan?
All wild animals, you will crawl
404
00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:04,900
on your belly.
You either dust all days your
405
00:33:04,900 --> 00:33:08,100
life and I will put enmity
between you and the woman
406
00:33:08,300 --> 00:33:11,700
between your Offspring and hers
and he will crush your head and
407
00:33:11,700 --> 00:33:13,700
you will strike his heel.
Now.
408
00:33:13,700 --> 00:33:15,200
If you're like me, you're like,
I have no idea what you're
409
00:33:15,200 --> 00:33:17,000
talking about.
Right there, that this is the
410
00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:21,400
first mention of Jesus in the
Bible that fans of technical
411
00:33:21,400 --> 00:33:25,400
term for called protoevangelium.
The first evangelist the Gospel,
412
00:33:25,500 --> 00:33:27,900
this is the picture Jesus on.
I was going to stop for a sec
413
00:33:27,900 --> 00:33:30,200
because I love this, because the
first thing that happens when
414
00:33:30,200 --> 00:33:35,800
mankind, sins is that God makes
a solution to break the curse
415
00:33:35,800 --> 00:33:37,800
come, all somebody.
And so, if you look at this
416
00:33:37,800 --> 00:33:41,600
passage, what it's saying is
there's going to be a divide and
417
00:33:41,600 --> 00:33:45,600
evil between Mankind and Mankind
and Satan.
418
00:33:45,800 --> 00:33:48,600
He says your Offspring talking
to the woman, your Offspring
419
00:33:48,600 --> 00:33:51,600
being Jesus now Eva thought
that'd been like her first kid,
420
00:33:51,700 --> 00:33:53,800
you know, I mean, she's like
Jesus, like somebody's going to
421
00:33:53,808 --> 00:33:55,800
save us is gonna be the First
generation, we have some kids
422
00:33:55,800 --> 00:33:57,500
are going to change everything.
She had knows him like 50
423
00:33:57,500 --> 00:34:00,700
Generations later.
But this all spring is Jesus and
424
00:34:00,700 --> 00:34:02,900
says he will crush your head.
So I'm Not Jesus going to kill
425
00:34:02,900 --> 00:34:05,100
Satan.
Jesus can take him down but
426
00:34:05,100 --> 00:34:07,800
Satan will strike Jesus heal and
I don't have time to go into all
427
00:34:07,800 --> 00:34:10,900
the details of this passage.
But this is the first planting
428
00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:14,699
the first mention of the Gospel.
Never forget when we ran from
429
00:34:14,699 --> 00:34:17,400
God.
God Ran to us verse 16.
430
00:34:17,400 --> 00:34:19,699
The woman said to him.
I will make your pains in
431
00:34:19,699 --> 00:34:22,600
childbearing, very severe.
Thank you sin and with painful
432
00:34:22,600 --> 00:34:24,600
labor, you'll get burchard
children, yours.
433
00:34:24,800 --> 00:34:27,600
Before your husband, he'll roll
over you and to Adam because you
434
00:34:27,600 --> 00:34:29,400
listened to your wife and eight
from the fruit of the tree,
435
00:34:29,400 --> 00:34:32,500
which I command you.
You must not eat from it curse.
436
00:34:32,500 --> 00:34:36,300
Somebody say cursed.
Cursed is the ground because of
437
00:34:36,300 --> 00:34:39,600
you and through painful toil,
you will eat from it all the
438
00:34:39,600 --> 00:34:43,300
days of your life, their produce
thorns, and thistles for you and
439
00:34:43,300 --> 00:34:44,800
you'll eat the plants of the
field.
440
00:34:44,900 --> 00:34:47,900
But the, by the sweat of your
brow, you will eat your food and
441
00:34:47,900 --> 00:34:49,300
don't miss this.
Here's the first mention of
442
00:34:49,300 --> 00:34:53,900
death and the Bible until you
return to the ground and since
443
00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:58,700
from it you were taken for dust
you are and to dust you will
444
00:34:59,200 --> 00:35:02,600
return.
This is the first mention of sin
445
00:35:02,900 --> 00:35:06,500
entering This is broken a
relationship with God.
446
00:35:06,500 --> 00:35:09,900
We went from living forever in
perfect Fellowship.
447
00:35:09,900 --> 00:35:14,800
Face to face with Jesus like
perfect communion having perfect
448
00:35:14,800 --> 00:35:19,600
person.
No insecurities No Doubt's, no
449
00:35:19,600 --> 00:35:22,600
fear like doll.
No cancer.
450
00:35:23,100 --> 00:35:25,200
No death.
No rainy days.
451
00:35:25,200 --> 00:35:30,500
Come on somebody to living in a
cursed life from sin and all of
452
00:35:30,500 --> 00:35:32,100
a sudden were separated from
God.
453
00:35:32,300 --> 00:35:34,400
And this curse spread to all who
made, this is really Good news,
454
00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:36,400
you guys, I feel it right now.
I told you your start loading
455
00:35:36,400 --> 00:35:38,700
that skinny little just kind of
lower.
456
00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:42,500
Just one more verse.
Oh man, maybe to Romans. 5:12
457
00:35:42,500 --> 00:35:46,100
says this it says this therefore
just as Sin entered the world
458
00:35:46,100 --> 00:35:48,200
through one man.
That's Adam and death through
459
00:35:48,200 --> 00:35:50,400
sin.
And this way death came to all
460
00:35:50,400 --> 00:35:53,800
people, because all have sinned,
what it's saying is there's no
461
00:35:53,800 --> 00:35:59,700
innocent person that's in
permanently, permeated Humanity.
462
00:36:00,100 --> 00:36:03,400
Like there's no innocent person
anywhere because sin is infected
463
00:36:03,400 --> 00:36:06,800
every Person.
And so death is completely
464
00:36:06,800 --> 00:36:09,700
unsettling.
It's completely unnatural.
465
00:36:09,900 --> 00:36:12,100
So we think about death.
It's like, what should I think
466
00:36:12,100 --> 00:36:14,200
about it?
Like, this is a result of a
467
00:36:14,207 --> 00:36:17,900
consequence this result of evil.
This result of us being
468
00:36:17,900 --> 00:36:21,100
separated from God.
And so for us, they have to ask
469
00:36:21,100 --> 00:36:24,200
the question.
What is beyond this life, the
470
00:36:24,200 --> 00:36:27,000
Bible answers.
It, it says, in James 4:14.
471
00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:30,500
It says, what is your life?
It says, it is a Mist that
472
00:36:30,500 --> 00:36:33,000
appears for a while and vanishes
away.
473
00:36:33,000 --> 00:36:34,000
This is your Bible says about
life.
474
00:36:34,100 --> 00:36:42,200
Here.
That was it amidst?
475
00:36:42,400 --> 00:36:46,900
Just a moment of time just to
the - between two dates.
476
00:36:47,300 --> 00:36:50,600
This is this how short your life
is in for a so many people,
477
00:36:50,600 --> 00:36:53,100
every child like cheat death,
you know, kind of get how to
478
00:36:53,200 --> 00:36:56,300
live longer, you know, like a
mummy five people, right?
479
00:36:56,600 --> 00:36:59,100
Like we're on the Austin Powers
was cryogenically frozen.
480
00:36:59,100 --> 00:37:00,500
Come on somebody.
All right.
481
00:37:00,500 --> 00:37:03,500
We're just gonna go there today.
Like, I'm just telling you, so
482
00:37:03,500 --> 00:37:06,400
many of us to think, what we can
is, if he has outlived this, if
483
00:37:06,400 --> 00:37:09,100
we could just have enough Medics
medicine, or we could just
484
00:37:09,100 --> 00:37:11,100
change.
Rabbis enough if we can do the
485
00:37:11,100 --> 00:37:13,300
right things, as the right diet.
It's like, no, there's a time
486
00:37:13,300 --> 00:37:17,200
where we had to Face Reality.
Their life is just a vapor.
487
00:37:17,300 --> 00:37:20,700
It's just that quick.
And so, how do we live in this
488
00:37:20,700 --> 00:37:22,800
perspective?
How do we live knowing that
489
00:37:22,800 --> 00:37:24,400
death is really an appointment,
our life.
490
00:37:24,400 --> 00:37:27,600
And only give you one just
principle to help you process
491
00:37:27,600 --> 00:37:29,800
death, just one principle and
it's this.
492
00:37:29,800 --> 00:37:32,000
It's not really complicated.
You might recognize it.
493
00:37:32,000 --> 00:37:34,600
But Live Like You're Dying, just
live.
494
00:37:34,600 --> 00:37:37,100
Like you're dying live, knowing
that you have an appointment
495
00:37:37,100 --> 00:37:39,000
coming and what would you do
differently today?
496
00:37:39,000 --> 00:37:41,100
If you You wouldn't be here
tomorrow.
497
00:37:41,400 --> 00:37:42,700
Like what would you do
differently today?
498
00:37:42,700 --> 00:37:45,200
If you knew that you had no
guarantee of tomorrow.
499
00:37:45,500 --> 00:37:46,300
Like what would you do
differently?
500
00:37:46,300 --> 00:37:49,000
If somebody came to you and
said, hey, you got cancer and
501
00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:52,400
you have six weeks to live or
you have cancer and you have six
502
00:37:52,400 --> 00:37:54,600
months to live.
Like what would we do
503
00:37:54,600 --> 00:37:58,800
differently as Christians to
live with the end in mind?
504
00:37:58,800 --> 00:38:01,500
Those are says, in Psalm 39, it
says this and this is really key
505
00:38:01,500 --> 00:38:05,700
passage says, oh, Lord, help me.
Understand my mortality.
506
00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:11,300
Help me be willfully, aware that
my Life has an end.
507
00:38:11,500 --> 00:38:14,700
Help me to be thought out and
come to grips with my mortality
508
00:38:14,700 --> 00:38:18,800
in the brevity of Life.
The how short life is.
509
00:38:18,800 --> 00:38:22,000
Let me realize how quickly my
life will pass.
510
00:38:22,100 --> 00:38:26,300
And look, you make my days
short-lived and my life span is
511
00:38:26,300 --> 00:38:29,100
nothing from your perspective.
Matter of fact, you get an
512
00:38:29,100 --> 00:38:30,800
eternity.
You're gonna be looking back and
513
00:38:30,800 --> 00:38:32,900
he's like, hey, can we can you
zoom in on my life?
514
00:38:33,000 --> 00:38:35,300
Can we rewind?
The tape little bit, I won't
515
00:38:35,300 --> 00:38:38,400
fast forward rewind or
fast-forward, zoom in.
516
00:38:38,400 --> 00:38:41,600
Zoom in zoom in.
Zoom in Zoom, is there I am,
517
00:38:42,100 --> 00:38:43,500
does that you just a little
speck?
518
00:38:43,500 --> 00:38:48,800
Just a thing in eternity, 80
years, hundred years, six years,
519
00:38:48,900 --> 00:38:51,000
whatever it is.
It's just a little moment in
520
00:38:51,000 --> 00:38:54,800
time of this reel of Eternity
and says, you're nothing from
521
00:38:54,800 --> 00:38:56,800
your perspective is, says surely
all people.
522
00:38:56,800 --> 00:38:59,500
Even those who seemed secure
come on those, who have
523
00:38:59,500 --> 00:39:02,000
everything, who can ride a
rocket outer space, because they
524
00:39:02,008 --> 00:39:04,000
have enough money.
Come on, even those that have
525
00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:06,200
Botox and when they're 80 years
old.
526
00:39:06,200 --> 00:39:08,600
Come on JLo.
Come on somebody, they look good
527
00:39:08,600 --> 00:39:10,300
right there.
Like what are you doing?
528
00:39:10,300 --> 00:39:13,300
And there's permanent Smiles.
Like even those have everything.
529
00:39:13,300 --> 00:39:17,800
It seems to cure Bible says,
this are nothing but help me out
530
00:39:17,800 --> 00:39:20,500
here.
Vapor.
531
00:39:21,800 --> 00:39:22,800
That's it.
That's our life.
532
00:39:22,800 --> 00:39:25,900
Just this moment of depleting
time.
533
00:39:26,200 --> 00:39:29,200
In other words, the Bible saying
Live, Like You're Dying, like
534
00:39:29,200 --> 00:39:32,100
help us know our mortality.
Like, let's live with the end in
535
00:39:32,100 --> 00:39:35,100
mind that there is a date.
When we were going to leave this
536
00:39:35,100 --> 00:39:38,400
planet are numbered our days.
Our number life is short.
537
00:39:38,400 --> 00:39:41,100
So I'll give you three best
practices to live like you down.
538
00:39:41,100 --> 00:39:43,900
You guys ready for this.
Nobody's ready.
539
00:39:44,700 --> 00:39:46,400
There's something already.
All right.
540
00:39:46,400 --> 00:39:49,800
Number one, go skydiving.
Come on to go.
541
00:39:49,800 --> 00:39:53,100
Rocky mountain climbing.
Three, two point seven seconds
542
00:39:53,100 --> 00:39:57,200
on a bowl, main vein Foo Manchu,
come on somebody, you know, Tim
543
00:39:57,200 --> 00:40:00,200
McGraw was coming today.
I know idolizing you guys up a
544
00:40:00,207 --> 00:40:01,800
little bit.
I would sing it for you, but
545
00:40:01,800 --> 00:40:04,000
it's not going to go.
Well, you never forget it and
546
00:40:04,000 --> 00:40:05,600
never come back.
I know that much.
547
00:40:05,800 --> 00:40:07,300
All right.
I've only got one principle for
548
00:40:07,300 --> 00:40:08,200
you.
Alright.
549
00:40:08,200 --> 00:40:10,600
One Prince about have three.
I just got one quick practical
550
00:40:10,600 --> 00:40:12,700
principle for you to live like
you're dying.
551
00:40:13,000 --> 00:40:14,100
No, I'm not going to sing it to
you.
552
00:40:14,100 --> 00:40:16,900
Although I may be should, but
it's real simple.
553
00:40:16,900 --> 00:40:21,000
Begin with the end in mind.
Just begin with the end in mind.
554
00:40:21,000 --> 00:40:23,400
What's the first thing you do
when you go playing for a
555
00:40:23,408 --> 00:40:25,100
vacation?
What's the first thing you do?
556
00:40:26,700 --> 00:40:31,400
No, you study the destination,
you say this?
557
00:40:31,400 --> 00:40:33,000
It was first.
You're all you on there.
558
00:40:33,200 --> 00:40:37,200
Like, is this a Shabby where my
board Shores or a parka?
559
00:40:37,300 --> 00:40:39,200
You know, I'm saying?
Is this a four-star hotel or
560
00:40:39,200 --> 00:40:41,800
should I bring the roach killer?
I've got, I've got some stories.
561
00:40:41,800 --> 00:40:44,200
You can ask my his to have.
I'm not even bring reproach
562
00:40:44,200 --> 00:40:46,000
comes can heal others, sleep, my
car.
563
00:40:46,200 --> 00:40:47,800
You know, like what were you
doing this?
564
00:40:47,800 --> 00:40:49,800
But what's the weather?
Like where we staying?
565
00:40:49,800 --> 00:40:51,500
What hobbies are we going to
have?
566
00:40:51,500 --> 00:40:54,200
Are we going hiking?
We're going out on the town or
567
00:40:54,200 --> 00:40:56,300
going to cruise on the beach
listening to soothing sounds of
568
00:40:56,400 --> 00:40:58,100
Actually boys, like what are we
doing?
569
00:40:58,100 --> 00:41:00,100
Right?
Like, you get so you don't know
570
00:41:00,100 --> 00:41:01,700
what to pack and less, you know
where you're going.
571
00:41:01,700 --> 00:41:03,600
Amen.
As Christians.
572
00:41:03,600 --> 00:41:04,700
You better know where you're
going.
573
00:41:04,900 --> 00:41:07,100
Like, you're going to study
where you going to land.
574
00:41:07,100 --> 00:41:08,900
You know, what the weather's
like, you know where you're

00:41:10,900 --> 00:41:12,300
hotel's.
You're in.
577
00:41:12,300 --> 00:41:14,100
Never works out this perfect,
but you go, right.
578
00:41:14,500 --> 00:41:16,400
It's like buying a house.
How many guys are buying a house
579
00:41:16,400 --> 00:41:17,900
in the season by ourselves.
Where you at?
580
00:41:18,100 --> 00:41:20,800
Come on, don't be shy the like,
yeah, it was me.
581
00:41:20,800 --> 00:41:22,100
That's me.
Right.
582
00:41:22,700 --> 00:41:24,800
I know some of you guys are
looking for some houses T,
583
00:41:24,800 --> 00:41:26,700
right, but what's the first
thing you do when you You look
584
00:41:26,700 --> 00:41:31,300
at a house, you know who my
slippers can go right here.
585
00:41:31,500 --> 00:41:36,200
Oh man, and this wall.
I give a hundred and 55 inch TV.
586
00:41:36,200 --> 00:41:39,800
Come on three foot from my bed.
Yes.
587
00:41:40,000 --> 00:41:42,400
The shower is big enough for
two.
588
00:41:42,800 --> 00:41:46,400
Oh, you know, you know what they
did we go there today, you know
589
00:41:46,400 --> 00:41:50,100
I'm saying, there's a kids
rooms, the nursery, the home
590
00:41:50,100 --> 00:41:51,900
office and there's like the
extra space.
591
00:41:51,900 --> 00:41:53,300
It's the man cave.
Come on.
592
00:41:53,300 --> 00:41:56,300
Somebody got the chairs, they
shake and vibration.
593
00:41:56,500 --> 00:41:58,700
In video games, you got some
work right equipment.
594
00:41:58,700 --> 00:42:01,300
That collects dust.
Come on right over there.
595
00:42:01,400 --> 00:42:03,100
Send me, you guys got like a
cigar lounge.
596
00:42:03,100 --> 00:42:04,600
I don't know who you are.
But somebody I know what your
597
00:42:04,600 --> 00:42:11,600
thing is, or it could be a craft
room, a craft room right here.
598
00:42:12,400 --> 00:42:14,200
You can find out.
All right, let's be real, you
599
00:42:14,200 --> 00:42:15,900
know, it's going to be, you can
use this storage.
600
00:42:15,900 --> 00:42:17,400
You can put your Christmas trees
in there.
601
00:42:17,400 --> 00:42:19,500
And this is never going to go
use the root, right?
602
00:42:19,500 --> 00:42:20,700
That's just how it's going to
roll.
603
00:42:20,800 --> 00:42:22,400
Or could be a workshop.
Come on.
604
00:42:23,200 --> 00:42:24,900
Maybe just me.
I like the workshop, but we
605
00:42:24,900 --> 00:42:27,100
always begin with the end in
mind with a Vision for the
606
00:42:27,100 --> 00:42:30,100
property, like we start looking
at like we know exactly what we
607
00:42:30,100 --> 00:42:31,500
want.
So today I just want to do.
608
00:42:31,600 --> 00:42:33,200
Can I just dream little bit
about having the day?
609
00:42:33,800 --> 00:42:36,900
Can I dream about having just
for a minute like a what its
610
00:42:36,900 --> 00:42:38,300
gonna be?
Like when we get there?
611
00:42:38,300 --> 00:42:41,300
Can we just begin with the end?
Like what is it gonna look like?
612
00:42:41,300 --> 00:42:43,700
Like, what's all, what is going
to happen in heaven?
613
00:42:43,800 --> 00:42:46,100
And so this is what it says.
In John 14 1 through 3.
614
00:42:46,100 --> 00:42:48,400
This is Jesus talking.
He says do not let your hearts
615
00:42:48,400 --> 00:42:51,500
be troubled.
You believe in God believe.
616
00:42:51,500 --> 00:42:54,000
Also in me.
My father's house has many rooms
617
00:42:54,000 --> 00:42:56,300
and if we're not.
So, what I've told you that I'm
618
00:42:56,500 --> 00:43:02,500
Going there to what to, what to
prepare a place for you.
619
00:43:02,800 --> 00:43:05,600
Come on.
I mean, what I've told you that
620
00:43:05,600 --> 00:43:08,400
I'm going to paraphrase for you
if I'm not preparing a place for
621
00:43:08,400 --> 00:43:10,800
you.
This is Jesus talking about
622
00:43:10,800 --> 00:43:14,000
preparing heaven for us.
He says, if I go and prepare a
623
00:43:14,008 --> 00:43:18,800
place for you, I will come back.
Dude, the original Terminator.
624
00:43:18,800 --> 00:43:22,500
Come on somebody, I will come
back and take you to be with me
625
00:43:22,600 --> 00:43:24,600
that you all some be be where I
am.
626
00:43:24,700 --> 00:43:25,300
Now.
Love this.
627
00:43:25,300 --> 00:43:30,100
Jesus is Being us as Jesus
followers a home in heaven.
628
00:43:30,400 --> 00:43:32,400
You know, what?
Jesus, there's a reason he came
629
00:43:32,400 --> 00:43:35,000
as a carpenter.
Come on, he's always been a
630
00:43:35,008 --> 00:43:37,400
carpenter.
Like he's the Creator.
631
00:43:37,400 --> 00:43:40,100
He's the architect.
He's the engineer.
632
00:43:40,100 --> 00:43:43,700
He's the sustainer that holds
everything together.
633
00:43:43,700 --> 00:43:46,300
He's the planner.
He's the Builder.
634
00:43:46,400 --> 00:43:49,500
He's the contractor.
He put everything together now,
635
00:43:49,500 --> 00:43:51,800
he's in heaven.
Building us a home.
636
00:43:51,800 --> 00:43:54,200
Can I tell you something?
When you get there, this home is
637
00:43:54,207 --> 00:43:55,700
gonna get hooked up behind your
truck.
638
00:43:55,700 --> 00:43:57,900
Come on, son.
You're not going to back your
639
00:43:57,900 --> 00:44:00,200
truck up and start pulling it,
that I could cut the tongue off
640
00:44:00,200 --> 00:44:01,900
and stick it on the front of it
in a park.
641
00:44:02,200 --> 00:44:04,100
It's not going to be a modular
home.
642
00:44:04,200 --> 00:44:06,000
It's like a prefab or cookie
cutter.
643
00:44:06,000 --> 00:44:07,900
I'm just gonna guess it's all
custom.
644
00:44:07,900 --> 00:44:11,100
Come on, somebody, just a custom
home by Jesus.
645
00:44:11,100 --> 00:44:14,100
This is what he's doing for us.
I mean, what do you think about
646
00:44:14,100 --> 00:44:16,600
when you think about heaven, you
know, I think about I think
647
00:44:16,600 --> 00:44:21,600
Sonny and no rain, come on.
I mean, I say Sonny, I mean sson
648
00:44:21,800 --> 00:44:24,200
Sonny because there actually is
no son.
649
00:44:24,400 --> 00:44:26,200
It's just Jesus as light that
lights.
650
00:44:26,500 --> 00:44:29,000
Heaven, I'm getting all biblical
here but a preacher but a
651
00:44:29,008 --> 00:44:31,100
preacher, right?
No earthquakes.
652
00:44:31,100 --> 00:44:32,400
No tornadoes.
No sin.
653
00:44:32,400 --> 00:44:35,200
We see Jesus face-to-face.
This was says in Revelation.
654
00:44:35,400 --> 00:44:37,900
It says the Angels showed me.
This is John Talking to Angels,
655
00:44:37,900 --> 00:44:42,100
showed me the river of water or
literally River, the river of
656
00:44:42,100 --> 00:44:44,700
Water of Life as clear as
crystal.
657
00:44:44,700 --> 00:44:47,700
That's a pretty sweet-looking
spring flowing from the Throne
658
00:44:47,700 --> 00:44:51,600
of God and the lamb.
This is Jesus down the middle of
659
00:44:51,600 --> 00:44:55,000
the great Street of the city,
but I'm about you.
660
00:44:55,000 --> 00:44:58,300
I can't wait to see this View.
Like, we go hiking, we go out
661
00:44:58,300 --> 00:45:01,100
into, like, the Ozarks.
We are always boating.
662
00:45:01,100 --> 00:45:03,200
We look at amazing stuff.
We've traveled to Hawaii.
663
00:45:03,200 --> 00:45:05,500
We've seen all sorts of things.
But I'm telling you nothing is
664
00:45:05,500 --> 00:45:09,500
going to look as amazing as this
river flowing from the Throne of
665
00:45:09,500 --> 00:45:12,300
the Lamb of God down the middle
of the city.
666
00:45:12,500 --> 00:45:15,000
And so the east side of the
river, stood, a tree of life.
667
00:45:15,000 --> 00:45:18,600
This is back in Genesis 3, the
same Tree of Life, burying 12
668
00:45:18,600 --> 00:45:20,700
crops of fruit.
Yielding, its fruit in its month
669
00:45:20,700 --> 00:45:23,100
and leaves the tree are healing
for all nations.
670
00:45:23,300 --> 00:45:24,600
Love this.
Don't miss verse 3.
671
00:45:24,800 --> 00:45:28,600
No longer will there.
Be any curse.
672
00:45:28,600 --> 00:45:32,000
Come on.
Somebody sin is eliminated.
673
00:45:32,100 --> 00:45:34,900
The Satan, the serpent himself
has been thrown into the Lake of
674
00:45:34,900 --> 00:45:37,500
Fire, and we were walking with
Jesus.
675
00:45:37,600 --> 00:45:39,600
Everything.
That was broken is now fixed.
676
00:45:39,600 --> 00:45:41,200
There's no cancer.
Come on somebody.
677
00:45:41,300 --> 00:45:43,900
There's no covid.
There's no mask.
678
00:45:43,900 --> 00:45:47,400
There's no vaccines.
Nobody's excited about it.
679
00:45:47,400 --> 00:45:50,100
Okay, you'll get there.
No menopause.
680
00:45:51,300 --> 00:45:57,400
Well, I got some claps on that
one, on the who was clapping but
681
00:45:57,700 --> 00:46:02,500
it's good the Throne of God and
the lamb Jesus here is God, the
682
00:46:02,500 --> 00:46:04,700
father.
Jesus himself will be in this
683
00:46:04,700 --> 00:46:07,000
city.
And his servants will serve him
684
00:46:07,000 --> 00:46:09,100
and they will don't miss.
They will see his face.
685
00:46:09,400 --> 00:46:13,300
Don't miss this because since
Genesis 3, we have not seen the
686
00:46:13,300 --> 00:46:17,300
face of God for all of eternity
and are like the middle of
687
00:46:17,300 --> 00:46:20,100
Eternity in humanity.
We have been running from God
688
00:46:20,100 --> 00:46:21,400
and God is pursuing us.
Us.
689
00:46:21,400 --> 00:46:25,700
And for the first time we see
the face of God, the Bible says
690
00:46:25,700 --> 00:46:27,700
to be absent.
The body is to be present with
691
00:46:27,700 --> 00:46:29,500
the Lord.
And as Christians, when you
692
00:46:29,500 --> 00:46:32,200
leave this side of attorney,
you're instantly in the presence
693
00:46:32,500 --> 00:46:35,500
of Jesus.
And for the first time we look,
694
00:46:35,500 --> 00:46:39,200
look into the eyes of our
creator and the author and the
695
00:46:39,200 --> 00:46:41,900
architect of our life.
And it says, our name will be on
696
00:46:41,900 --> 00:46:44,400
their foreheads and there'd be
no more night.
697
00:46:44,400 --> 00:46:46,100
There'd be no need for a lamp.
I'm sorry.
698
00:46:46,100 --> 00:46:49,600
The Energizer Bunny is not, keep
going and going and going and
699
00:46:49,600 --> 00:46:52,400
the light of the Sun the Moon.
Light for the Sun for the Lord
700
00:46:52,400 --> 00:46:54,500
God will give them light and
they will reign.
701
00:46:54,500 --> 00:46:58,900
Don't miss this little piece
forever and ever and ever.
702
00:46:59,000 --> 00:47:01,600
And ever.
I told you it was sunny with no
703
00:47:01,600 --> 00:47:05,200
chance of rain.
This is like returning to Eden.
704
00:47:05,400 --> 00:47:07,700
This is what it looks like to go
back to what it would be.
705
00:47:07,700 --> 00:47:11,600
Like if we never sinned walking
the presence and a perfect
706
00:47:11,600 --> 00:47:14,500
relationship with God.
There's no more suffering.
707
00:47:14,700 --> 00:47:18,000
That Jesus has wiped all tears
away from our faces.
708
00:47:18,100 --> 00:47:19,500
There's a lot of questions about
heaven.
709
00:47:19,500 --> 00:47:22,200
Okay, because obviously that
Tell us all the questions you're
710
00:47:22,200 --> 00:47:23,500
going to have.
So you need to text in your
711
00:47:23,500 --> 00:47:24,900
questions.
So maybe I can maybe get more
712
00:47:24,900 --> 00:47:26,700
detail.
I didn't not going to go all the
713
00:47:26,700 --> 00:47:27,800
way through all things that
happen.
714
00:47:27,800 --> 00:47:29,600
We know in the Bible, but text
me questions.
715
00:47:29,600 --> 00:47:32,100
There's a couple.
Do we recognize our loved ones,
716
00:47:32,200 --> 00:47:34,500
had this come up a life group,
just a few months ago.
717
00:47:35,000 --> 00:47:36,700
What will it look like on about
you?
718
00:47:36,700 --> 00:47:39,200
Hope it's a with less weight
more muscles, right?
719
00:47:39,500 --> 00:47:43,300
Like, I'm not sure, well, how
would be given all these crowns
720
00:47:43,300 --> 00:47:44,800
about talks about rewards in the
Bible.
721
00:47:44,800 --> 00:47:47,300
There's Seven Crown's like
endurance, and soul winning.
722
00:47:47,300 --> 00:47:50,200
There's all these crowns that we
can earn and is the point we're
723
00:47:50,200 --> 00:47:53,800
God.
Us and God, he gives us a Jules
724
00:47:53,800 --> 00:47:56,400
and her crap.
This isn't made up and there's a
725
00:47:56,400 --> 00:47:57,500
point.
Where do we give an account for
726
00:47:57,500 --> 00:47:59,300
our lives?
Like every other word?
727
00:47:59,300 --> 00:48:01,500
We spoke in this, the most
important question.
728
00:48:01,500 --> 00:48:03,600
You can ever ask.
Will there be a Chick-fil-A.
729
00:48:03,600 --> 00:48:06,400
Come on, somebody.
Will there be a Chick-fil-A in
730
00:48:06,400 --> 00:48:08,500
heaven?
I hope the line moves just as
731
00:48:08,500 --> 00:48:10,300
fast, right?
This is how it's going to roll,
732
00:48:10,300 --> 00:48:13,100
but we begin with the end in
mind.
733
00:48:13,300 --> 00:48:14,700
The end of my, what do you think
about?
734
00:48:14,700 --> 00:48:15,800
You think I have it?
I think a two things.
735
00:48:15,800 --> 00:48:19,300
There's only two things that
come from this earth into
736
00:48:19,300 --> 00:48:20,700
heaven.
The first thing is this, it's
737
00:48:20,700 --> 00:48:23,200
the word of God.
God this word of God, endures
738
00:48:23,300 --> 00:48:26,500
forever and ever and ever, and
you're going to find this word
739
00:48:26,500 --> 00:48:31,000
of God in heaven, but the second
thing that isn't Heaven is
740
00:48:31,000 --> 00:48:40,700
people It's people every tribe.
Every tongue every nation is
741
00:48:40,700 --> 00:48:43,000
people.
The only two things that you can
742
00:48:43,000 --> 00:48:45,800
take with you from this side of
Eternity.
743
00:48:46,000 --> 00:48:49,900
To that side is the word of God.
And people.
744
00:48:51,500 --> 00:48:54,300
That should change everything
about how we walk out of here
745
00:48:54,300 --> 00:48:56,000
today.
That's a change.
746
00:48:56,000 --> 00:48:59,200
Everything about how we love
people that we would go out of
747
00:48:59,200 --> 00:49:02,300
our way for people.
Now.
748
00:49:02,300 --> 00:49:05,100
In fact, how we love people, and
how we treat people, it says,
749
00:49:05,100 --> 00:49:08,000
everything about our theology
says everything.
750
00:49:08,000 --> 00:49:10,600
What we believe about God.
It's just everything would be
751
00:49:10,600 --> 00:49:15,100
about people.
The only thing is people then
752
00:49:15,100 --> 00:49:20,800
what are we doing with people?
It's a life about you.
753
00:49:20,800 --> 00:49:24,600
Can't attach a U-Haul to a
hearse, but you can take people
754
00:49:25,500 --> 00:49:27,600
you can bring other people with
you.
755
00:49:27,900 --> 00:49:31,500
Remember when I was in 2003 that
was in Mexico, and we're looking
756
00:49:31,500 --> 00:49:34,200
into the face of people
wondering.
757
00:49:35,200 --> 00:49:38,000
Am I willing to get
uncomfortable enough to tell
758
00:49:38,000 --> 00:49:41,500
them about Jesus?
My fact, I think about that
759
00:49:41,500 --> 00:49:44,300
about every day walking through
Walmart.
760
00:49:44,300 --> 00:49:50,600
Come on, somebody or Target.
All these people who need Jesus,
761
00:49:51,500 --> 00:49:54,900
who need somebody to come her
life and point them, to the one
762
00:49:54,900 --> 00:49:59,100
who broke the curse for them.
And how uncomfortable willing to
763
00:49:59,100 --> 00:50:03,600
get to love on people, to give
up College planes, may be a
764
00:50:03,600 --> 00:50:06,800
change dreams, maybe to serve on
a team.
765
00:50:06,900 --> 00:50:12,400
Maybe to give sacrificially.
Maybe to lead maybe to stop
766
00:50:12,400 --> 00:50:14,900
following ourselves.
Like, how uncomfortable.
767
00:50:14,900 --> 00:50:18,300
Are you willing to get my fat?
Jesus, at this in Mark 12?
768
00:50:18,400 --> 00:50:20,500
Somebody asking what's the
greatest commandment Jesus?
769
00:50:21,200 --> 00:50:24,000
He said, the most important one
will hear this.
770
00:50:24,100 --> 00:50:25,800
Oh, Israel.
The Lord Our God.
771
00:50:25,800 --> 00:50:27,300
The Lord is one.
It says, love the Lord God, with
772
00:50:27,300 --> 00:50:31,000
all your heart, all your soul,
with all your mind and all your
773
00:50:31,000 --> 00:50:32,900
strength.
The second one.
774
00:50:32,900 --> 00:50:36,200
Is this.
Love your neighbor as yourself
775
00:50:36,800 --> 00:50:39,200
and this is the greatest
commandment.
776
00:50:39,600 --> 00:50:41,700
In fact, Jesus goes on to say in
John 15.
777
00:50:41,700 --> 00:50:45,800
He says my commitment is this
love each other as I have loved
778
00:50:45,800 --> 00:50:47,700
you.
So milk your neighbor and say I
779
00:50:47,700 --> 00:50:50,900
love you.
Now.
780
00:50:50,900 --> 00:50:52,500
Look your other neighbor you
left behind.
781
00:50:53,900 --> 00:50:57,100
I love you.
This is used to the greatest
782
00:50:57,100 --> 00:51:01,100
commandment - she loves
somebody, the think, outside
783
00:51:01,100 --> 00:51:05,900
yourself to give your best men.
Fact, he goes on to say greater.
784
00:51:05,900 --> 00:51:09,000
Love has no one than this, than
to lay down his life for his
785
00:51:09,000 --> 00:51:11,200
friends.
There's no greater act.
786
00:51:11,200 --> 00:51:14,000
You can ever do in this side of
attorney there, lay down your
787
00:51:14,000 --> 00:51:16,900
life, for somebody else.
And this is what Jesus did for
788
00:51:16,900 --> 00:51:21,200
us.
Jesus laid his life down for us.
789
00:51:21,300 --> 00:51:23,200
Matter of fact, he decided to
lay down his life back in
790
00:51:23,200 --> 00:51:26,300
Genesis 3, if not sooner.
And he decided.
791
00:51:26,300 --> 00:51:29,100
As soon as Sin entered the
picture, he said, one day.
792
00:51:29,700 --> 00:51:32,600
I'm coming.
I'm going to orchestrate all of
793
00:51:32,600 --> 00:51:36,300
eternity, everything happened in
humanity, all the prophecy, all
794
00:51:36,300 --> 00:51:39,700
the all the kings, all the
kingdoms, all the things.
795
00:51:39,700 --> 00:51:42,400
All the events that transpire.
I'm going to make myself across.
796
00:51:42,500 --> 00:51:44,500
I'm going to bring in some of
that Roman culture.
797
00:51:45,000 --> 00:51:47,100
I'm going to show up.
So the whole world can see me.
798
00:51:47,400 --> 00:51:49,900
So Jesus, did you know why?
Jesus did this?
799
00:51:50,300 --> 00:51:54,100
Because he had the end in mind.
He knew there was a very real
800
00:51:54,100 --> 00:51:57,200
heaven.
The very real Health, Jesus knew
801
00:51:57,200 --> 00:52:00,000
that, and he wanted us to go to
heaven.
802
00:52:00,000 --> 00:52:03,900
And so he ran towards us Mary
that he think about the last few
803
00:52:04,000 --> 00:52:05,700
days of his life or David's
life.
804
00:52:05,900 --> 00:52:07,300
He was betrayed by one of his
followers.
805
00:52:07,300 --> 00:52:09,400
For 30 pieces of silver.
He's praying in the garden.
806
00:52:10,000 --> 00:52:14,100
He was put on false trial and it
will ignite the false
807
00:52:14,100 --> 00:52:17,600
accusations.
And he was, he was put out to
808
00:52:17,600 --> 00:52:20,400
die instead of something else
deserved named Barabbas, then he
809
00:52:20,400 --> 00:52:23,900
was scourged.
He took at nine tails just piece
810
00:52:23,900 --> 00:52:26,800
of teeth and bone on.
Leather whips and ran across his
811
00:52:26,800 --> 00:52:29,700
back, you strapped around a rock
and stripped him of his skin.
812
00:52:30,000 --> 00:52:32,000
Bible said it.
He was so disfigured.
813
00:52:32,000 --> 00:52:35,200
You couldn't recognize him as a
human and Jesus beard was ripped
814
00:52:35,200 --> 00:52:38,100
out and he was stripped naked in
the crown of thorns was shoved
815
00:52:38,100 --> 00:52:41,000
on to his brow piercing into his
skin.
816
00:52:41,500 --> 00:52:46,000
It picked up across willingly
and carried up the hill of
817
00:52:46,000 --> 00:52:49,100
Calvary for us on top of that
Hill.
818
00:52:49,100 --> 00:52:52,600
They drove spikes into his risk
and then to his ankles and they
819
00:52:52,600 --> 00:52:56,200
stood him up.
For the whole world to see
820
00:52:56,600 --> 00:52:59,900
because for God.
So loved the world that he gave
821
00:53:00,500 --> 00:53:03,300
his son.
He willingly went to the cross
822
00:53:03,300 --> 00:53:05,500
for us, on that cross.
He did the grace Act of Love
823
00:53:05,500 --> 00:53:09,000
Ever Getting.
He took all of our wrongs and
824
00:53:09,000 --> 00:53:11,600
place it on himself.
The Bible says he was crushed
825
00:53:11,700 --> 00:53:14,700
but not destroyed.
Is he saying that he'd won?
826
00:53:14,900 --> 00:53:17,400
But Satan didn't know the power
of God.
827
00:53:17,400 --> 00:53:20,200
And on that cross.
He paid every single one of our
828
00:53:20,200 --> 00:53:22,800
debts.
He paid our hell, he was our
829
00:53:22,800 --> 00:53:26,100
wrath bearing.
Vice not just for you, but for
830
00:53:26,100 --> 00:53:29,800
all of humanity and on that
cross, he said these words are
831
00:53:29,800 --> 00:53:33,400
so powerful for us today.
He said it is finished.
832
00:53:33,400 --> 00:53:35,700
What is finished sin is
finished.
833
00:53:36,100 --> 00:53:38,800
Satan is finished.
Universe has said that he's
834
00:53:38,800 --> 00:53:42,600
going to crush the head of Satan
will just went down because
835
00:53:42,600 --> 00:53:44,900
Jesus on that cross took out
Satan.
836
00:53:45,300 --> 00:53:47,300
He defeated hell.
And agitated said his final
837
00:53:47,300 --> 00:53:48,900
breath.
He took his final breath.
838
00:53:48,900 --> 00:53:52,000
He died and gave up The Ghost.
And the first thing he did is he
839
00:53:52,000 --> 00:53:57,300
ran through the gates of hell
and he's All our keys, he stole
840
00:53:57,300 --> 00:54:01,100
our keys and he ran through
every single cell that we were
841
00:54:01,100 --> 00:54:04,500
locked in his prisoners, from
this curse of death and sin in
842
00:54:04,500 --> 00:54:08,600
the grave and a rose on the
third day and Rose erected his
843
00:54:08,600 --> 00:54:11,800
life for our freedom, with our
within our keys in hand.
844
00:54:11,800 --> 00:54:14,400
Amen.
This is what Jesus did for us,
845
00:54:14,900 --> 00:54:17,300
on the cross.
He laid down his life so that we
846
00:54:17,300 --> 00:54:19,800
can have life.
And all of a sudden, the curse
847
00:54:19,900 --> 00:54:22,900
was reversed and Jesus made
away.
848
00:54:23,200 --> 00:54:25,300
This is a love story.
Of God.
849
00:54:25,500 --> 00:54:27,400
And so you think about death?
And I think about, I think about
850
00:54:27,400 --> 00:54:32,400
Jesus, I think, how much I love
Jesus and his plan for us.
851
00:54:32,600 --> 00:54:35,000
This is what God did for us.
And so how uncomfortable.
852
00:54:35,000 --> 00:54:36,500
Are you willing to get four
people?
853
00:54:36,700 --> 00:54:39,900
Because Jesus got little
uncomfortable for us to didn't
854
00:54:39,900 --> 00:54:41,700
he?
He didn't just go across the
855
00:54:41,700 --> 00:54:43,400
road and put a track on a roll
of toilet paper.
856
00:54:43,400 --> 00:54:47,200
Come on.
I'm, he went to the cross for
857
00:54:47,200 --> 00:54:49,000
us.
And so, how long will, how
858
00:54:49,000 --> 00:54:51,500
willing are you getting willing
to get together and comfortable?
859
00:54:51,900 --> 00:54:53,100
Like, what would you do for
somebody?
860
00:54:53,100 --> 00:54:56,500
Know A love of Jesus?
How far are you willing to go?
861
00:54:56,900 --> 00:54:58,800
It's what Jesus prayed for us,
in.
862
00:54:58,800 --> 00:55:00,500
John 17.
He says my prayer is not for
863
00:55:00,500 --> 00:55:02,600
them alone.
But for those who will believe
864
00:55:02,600 --> 00:55:05,500
in me, somebody else today, all
believers all time.
865
00:55:05,800 --> 00:55:07,900
He says, I pray in me through
their message says that all of
866
00:55:07,900 --> 00:55:13,200
them may be one, the Jesus
prayed that his Christians will
867
00:55:13,200 --> 00:55:16,200
be United together under the
banner of Jesus.
868
00:55:16,600 --> 00:55:19,100
Not anything else, but we would
know Jesus.
869
00:55:19,100 --> 00:55:21,700
He goes on to say.
Father, just as you are in me
870
00:55:21,800 --> 00:55:24,400
and I am in you, we should be.
So.
871
00:55:24,600 --> 00:55:27,500
So close to God, then when
people see us, they don't see
872
00:55:27,500 --> 00:55:30,500
Sean Petrie.
They see Jesus, you know, you
873
00:55:30,500 --> 00:55:33,300
might be the only Bible that
somebody reads you might be the
874
00:55:33,300 --> 00:55:35,800
only picture of the love of God
in somebody's life.
875
00:55:36,100 --> 00:55:38,000
He says, may they also be in us
with the world.
876
00:55:38,000 --> 00:55:41,500
Like this may believe that you
sent me that your life is the
877
00:55:41,500 --> 00:55:45,500
greatest apologetic of all
history that the way you live in
878
00:55:45,500 --> 00:55:49,600
this moment in this season of
division and chaos, and all
879
00:55:49,600 --> 00:55:52,500
these riots, and all these
things are happening in our
880
00:55:52,500 --> 00:55:54,300
community and across the world
that you are.
881
00:55:54,300 --> 00:55:58,000
The Sure of Jesus.
He says given the glory that you
882
00:55:58,000 --> 00:56:02,900
gave me that they may be one as
we are one and in them and I in
883
00:56:02,900 --> 00:56:06,400
them and you and me so that they
may be brought to complete
884
00:56:06,400 --> 00:56:08,200
Unity.
Then the world will know that
885
00:56:08,200 --> 00:56:10,200
you have sent me and have loved
them.
886
00:56:10,300 --> 00:56:13,900
Even as you have loved me and
how we treat people as our
887
00:56:13,900 --> 00:56:18,100
greatest apologetic that we were
single-minded one.
888
00:56:18,100 --> 00:56:20,400
Mind.
One Accord as Christians were
889
00:56:20,408 --> 00:56:22,100
not divided.
It's so easy.
890
00:56:22,100 --> 00:56:25,800
Be divided in 2021 in it.
Vaccines.
891
00:56:26,300 --> 00:56:28,500
What's your opinion?
Oh, no, tell me already know

Mask Sports, red, blue, black
893
00:56:34,400 --> 00:56:36,000
white.
Where Do We Stand?
894
00:56:36,000 --> 00:56:37,500
We stand for Jesus.
Amen.
895
00:56:38,000 --> 00:56:41,000
There's only one name that we
unify under his name of Jesus.
896
00:56:41,200 --> 00:56:44,300
He is the Supreme.
Everything is second to him.
897
00:56:44,400 --> 00:56:45,600
You're the world doesn't need
know what.
898
00:56:45,600 --> 00:56:48,300
We're against the world doesn't
need to know that we don't like
899
00:56:48,300 --> 00:56:49,900
this and we don't like this and
we don't like this.
900
00:56:49,900 --> 00:56:52,900
And we don't like this know, the
world needs to know about Jesus,
901
00:56:53,300 --> 00:56:55,800
the Wolves, know what we're for.
And he has a name.
902
00:56:55,800 --> 00:56:58,300
His name is Jesus.
And so he's love people that
903
00:56:58,300 --> 00:57:00,800
don't treat us fair.
And I got a text this morning.
904
00:57:00,800 --> 00:57:02,000
10 minutes.
We're going up here, land
905
00:57:02,000 --> 00:57:04,100
blasting things because there's
life is hurting.
906
00:57:04,500 --> 00:57:06,100
They don't understand this
Jesus.
907
00:57:06,500 --> 00:57:09,600
I'm just telling you, we just
showed grace and mercy and
908
00:57:09,600 --> 00:57:13,200
forgiveness and how you post
people are watching and what
909
00:57:13,200 --> 00:57:16,400
you're saying, people are
watching every word.
910
00:57:16,400 --> 00:57:19,200
There's a watching world and
they're asking the question, are
911
00:57:19,200 --> 00:57:22,300
they different is your marriage
different?
912
00:57:22,800 --> 00:57:24,300
Does it look just like everybody
else?
913
00:57:24,400 --> 00:57:27,100
Is how do you treat your kids?
What do you believe about
914
00:57:27,100 --> 00:57:30,100
people, which aside, I look like
what your bank account look,
915
00:57:30,100 --> 00:57:31,900
like, what your prayer life look
like.
916
00:57:32,100 --> 00:57:34,700
What supposed to look like these
people forgive people.
917
00:57:34,700 --> 00:57:38,400
They seem awfully better.
Meet the patient with people.
918
00:57:38,600 --> 00:57:40,600
So Eugene has always begin with
the end in mind.
919
00:57:40,700 --> 00:57:43,500
He knew what attorney look like.
If the only thing that goes from
920
00:57:43,500 --> 00:57:48,800
here to there is peep.
We should all bow people.
921
00:57:49,400 --> 00:57:54,300
And we sit down, we start
thinking 401 K's your houses and
922
00:57:54,300 --> 00:57:57,700
all this stuff.
We just forget about people we
923
00:57:57,700 --> 00:57:59,000
can walk by right down the
aisle.
924
00:57:59,000 --> 00:58:03,400
We leave here today and I say a
word to somebody else because we
925
00:58:03,400 --> 00:58:05,900
miss it.
I'll give you a bonus principal,
926
00:58:06,000 --> 00:58:07,700
get a squirt.
Tony Horton of it.
927
00:58:07,707 --> 00:58:11,400
Didn't P90X3 bonus principle.
Here it is.
928
00:58:12,000 --> 00:58:13,700
I talked about live like you're
dying and that's really not the
929
00:58:13,707 --> 00:58:16,700
full picture because it has a
structure that fair because
930
00:58:16,700 --> 00:58:18,800
you're actually not dying
because you die, you go to
931
00:58:18,800 --> 00:58:20,200
heaven.
It's only give you a better
932
00:58:20,200 --> 00:58:21,900
principal.
If you taking notes write this
933
00:58:21,900 --> 00:58:23,900
down because this is really good
least, I think it is.
934
00:58:24,700 --> 00:58:28,500
It's real simple live.
Like you were dead and now
935
00:58:28,500 --> 00:58:33,400
you're alive live.
Like you were dead in sin, but
936
00:58:33,400 --> 00:58:37,700
now you're alive to God.
It changes everything live.
937
00:58:37,700 --> 00:58:41,300
Like you're in your free from
this debt of sin.
938
00:58:41,600 --> 00:58:43,000
Like this world is not your
home.
939
00:58:43,000 --> 00:58:45,100
We're not just like oh a die
then it's over.
940
00:58:45,200 --> 00:58:46,100
Yeah.
I'll enjoy having.
941
00:58:46,100 --> 00:58:47,500
No, no.
No, we're going home.
942
00:58:47,500 --> 00:58:49,800
Somebody.
Come on, like we're not just
943
00:58:49,800 --> 00:58:51,100
like, oh, one day, we'll get
there.
944
00:58:51,100 --> 00:58:53,100
No, no, that Saturday.
That's what we're supposed to
945
00:58:53,100 --> 00:58:54,800
be.
The only reason God hadn't left.
946
00:58:54,800 --> 00:58:58,500
You here is for people.
He live here for a title.
947
00:58:58,600 --> 00:59:01,200
He leave here for stuff.
You know, he who dies with the
948
00:59:01,200 --> 00:59:03,900
most stuff.
Still dice.
949
00:59:05,300 --> 00:59:08,000
Still nice.
The only thing that matters is
950
00:59:08,000 --> 00:59:10,800
people that was says, set your
mind on things above and not
951
00:59:10,800 --> 00:59:13,500
below that we were Heavenly
minded.
952
00:59:13,500 --> 00:59:16,000
They're not daydreaming or we're
playing on that trip.
953
00:59:16,500 --> 00:59:19,000
We're bring as many people as
possible to be a big old party.
954
00:59:19,000 --> 00:59:21,900
I can't wait to go to.
We're just thinking of Heaven,
955
00:59:21,900 --> 00:59:25,300
they were dead in sin, that
Jesus broke the curse somewhere
956
00:59:25,300 --> 00:59:28,900
alive to God and we look forward
to seeing Jesus face-to-face,
957
00:59:29,000 --> 00:59:31,400
you know, our mission is not to
accumulate the most stuff.
958
00:59:32,500 --> 00:59:35,600
Although I'll tell you what, the
only thing that seems unified
959
00:59:35,600 --> 00:59:37,000
people in our countries
shopping.
960
00:59:38,600 --> 00:59:41,300
Whole place in here.
Be together is a row in Target,
961
00:59:41,700 --> 00:59:46,700
or the middle aisle at Aldi.
I'm Tom, I'm talking about
962
00:59:46,800 --> 00:59:48,300
something called the Isle of
Shame earlier.
963
00:59:48,300 --> 00:59:51,100
I say, it's really good.
It's like I need these things is
964
00:59:51,100 --> 00:59:54,300
the only thing that brings us
together spending, but were
965
00:59:54,300 --> 00:59:57,200
supposed to unified for.
Jesus is Love people.
966
00:59:57,300 --> 00:59:59,100
I would encourage, are you
willing to get uncomfortable?
967
00:59:59,100 --> 01:00:01,700
Jesus?
Like, why not you, what, why not
968
01:00:01,700 --> 01:00:04,100
be a leader?
Like, when I step up and say I
969
01:00:04,100 --> 01:00:05,800
can do more for God.
What can I do?
970
01:00:06,200 --> 01:00:09,000
Put me in coach?
I love that Kim would ever put
971
01:00:09,000 --> 01:00:10,100
me in.
I'm willing.
972
01:00:10,100 --> 01:00:11,800
I'm ready.
Just send me in.
973
01:00:12,100 --> 01:00:14,500
Why not?
Give more like, when I sacrifice
974
01:00:14,500 --> 01:00:15,500
more.
I'm not saying give it to us.
975
01:00:15,500 --> 01:00:18,200
I'm saying, want to give more
way to people, why not want to
976
01:00:18,300 --> 01:00:21,100
believe in people.
Why not why give up on our
977
01:00:21,100 --> 01:00:22,300
family.
So easily.
978
01:00:22,700 --> 01:00:25,500
Missy is all times people in our
family don't act or look, or do
979
01:00:25,500 --> 01:00:26,900
things we want to do.
And all of a sudden were
980
01:00:26,900 --> 01:00:27,800
offended.
Personally.
981
01:00:27,900 --> 01:00:29,700
Don't be offended.
Jesus will have some still,
982
01:00:30,100 --> 01:00:32,200
let's just help them.
Encourage them.
983
01:00:32,300 --> 01:00:34,900
How about love on our kids?
How about care about more about
984
01:00:34,900 --> 01:00:38,700
Unity than being right?
There's there's an almost a
985
01:00:39,100 --> 01:00:44,200
non-american message in that.
Kid more than we love on people
986
01:00:44,200 --> 01:00:49,600
more than politics or covid,
vaccines and masks and all this.
987
01:00:49,600 --> 01:00:51,600
Jazz of people say that's going
to go away.
988
01:00:51,600 --> 01:00:55,000
It would be alien ourselves from
the very people who need Jesus,
989
01:00:55,000 --> 01:00:58,700
because we were so opinionated
about what was so what is true.
990
01:00:58,700 --> 01:01:01,900
Is he relevant to somebody Who
You're not winning their soul.
991
01:01:03,200 --> 01:01:04,300
Yeah, I'm Gonna Leave You the
story.
992
01:01:04,300 --> 01:01:07,500
There's a friend of so many
people in our church whose
993
01:01:07,500 --> 01:01:10,600
inspiration to generation is
imposed and Iran.
994
01:01:10,800 --> 01:01:12,200
Use a canvas pass for Life
Church.
995
01:01:12,200 --> 01:01:16,600
She passed away a few months ago
and went to Dana's funeral.
996
01:01:16,600 --> 01:01:18,600
I didn't know Danny that well,
I've been in a few times a lot
997
01:01:18,600 --> 01:01:22,400
of our team had shadowed and
stuff and he was young, and he
998
01:01:22,400 --> 01:01:25,100
had three kids and do is mr.
Smiley.
999
01:01:25,400 --> 01:01:26,900
This guy was phenomenally
gifted.
1000
01:01:26,900 --> 01:01:29,600
I didn't know all about Danny's
story about my head.
1001
01:01:29,600 --> 01:01:31,500
I'm going to go.
This guy's funeral and show up
1002
01:01:31,500 --> 01:01:34,200
for the funeral enough know what
happens if Most people do, but
1003
01:01:34,200 --> 01:01:37,700
people talk about you and your
family says things, and your
1004
01:01:37,700 --> 01:01:41,400
friends, say, things in your
neighbors, and your co-workers.
1005
01:01:41,600 --> 01:01:45,400
And anybody you influence, just
cozy, if, you know the show,
1006
01:01:45,400 --> 01:01:47,900
they care.
Never forget, Danny store
1007
01:01:47,900 --> 01:01:49,800
because it literally was the
most powerful for, you know,
1008
01:01:49,800 --> 01:01:52,100
I've ever sat in as a shared
story.
1009
01:01:52,100 --> 01:01:54,900
After story, after story of how
day need is.
1010
01:01:54,900 --> 01:01:57,600
A lot of people.
I've never been to a funeral.
1011
01:01:57,800 --> 01:02:00,800
That was so powerful about
loving people, because he was
1012
01:02:00,800 --> 01:02:02,800
just Danny, he didn't do
everything right.
1013
01:02:02,900 --> 01:02:04,600
Right.
He was kind of a screwball, it
1014
01:02:04,600 --> 01:02:06,400
was fun.
But he loved people.
1015
01:02:06,400 --> 01:02:09,400
And each other story of a guy.
Those Marine big, dude -
1016
01:02:09,400 --> 01:02:12,400
araignee Smith, real big came
into church.
1017
01:02:12,500 --> 01:02:14,800
Not a Christian.
This guy brought him his Marines
1018
01:02:14,800 --> 01:02:18,000
to his my buddy and Danny runs
up to him, and gives him a big
1019
01:02:18,000 --> 01:02:20,000
hug.
This guy is standoffish.
1020
01:02:20,000 --> 01:02:23,800
And so, Danny snug little tired,
you know, Danny, that's Danny.
1021
01:02:24,400 --> 01:02:28,400
And every week, this guy showed
up to church, week after week,
1022
01:02:28,400 --> 01:02:31,400
after week, after week, to get a
hug from Danny.
1023
01:02:32,500 --> 01:02:37,000
I was like, wow, this is what
the gospel is all about.
1024
01:02:37,700 --> 01:02:41,000
I don't know about you.
But how do you want people to
1025
01:02:41,000 --> 01:02:43,800
remember your life?
Like, what do you want somebody
1026
01:02:43,800 --> 01:02:46,300
to come up here and say about
you at your funeral?
1027
01:02:47,500 --> 01:02:51,400
Like what you want the story to
be like thank God they were here
1028
01:02:51,400 --> 01:02:54,800
for me.
That guy loved people.
1029
01:02:55,000 --> 01:02:57,800
That guy got uncomfortable.
You know, Danny always go to
1030
01:02:57,800 --> 01:02:58,800
restaurants.
Use that guy.
1031
01:02:58,800 --> 01:03:01,100
Those invite people to church.
Don't talk about, right.
1032
01:03:01,100 --> 01:03:03,200
They said well, it's just really
far away can't afford the gas.
1033
01:03:03,200 --> 01:03:05,300
He pulled out a hundred dollar
bill and say gotcha.
1034
01:03:05,800 --> 01:03:08,700
Come on out, like just that kind
of guy.
1035
01:03:09,000 --> 01:03:10,400
Just loving people.
Now.
1036
01:03:10,400 --> 01:03:12,800
I thought man, this is a story.
We all should have I left that
1037
01:03:12,800 --> 01:03:14,600
funeral change because his life
spoke to me.
1038
01:03:14,900 --> 01:03:17,200
And I tell you today that your
life.
1039
01:03:17,400 --> 01:03:20,900
That your love for people can
break the curse and people's
1040
01:03:20,900 --> 01:03:23,300
lives and I told you they're
watching you.
1041
01:03:23,300 --> 01:03:25,900
That Jesus said, you are the
apology, you are the apologetic,
1042
01:03:26,100 --> 01:03:28,400
you are Jesus of this generation
people watching your life.
1043
01:03:28,500 --> 01:03:32,200
And if you love them and you
care for them and you pour into
1044
01:03:32,200 --> 01:03:34,000
them and you want to get too
comfortable.
1045
01:03:34,000 --> 01:03:37,100
The world is like, I cannot
believe that this person is
1046
01:03:37,100 --> 01:03:39,700
still doing this.
How do you stay married that
1047
01:03:39,700 --> 01:03:42,300
long?
How do you put up with this?
1048
01:03:43,000 --> 01:03:45,900
How do you go to that Spork
situation and still have a
1049
01:03:45,900 --> 01:03:48,700
positive attitude?
You'd like, how do you do this
1050
01:03:48,700 --> 01:03:50,900
stuff?
Because they're watching and all
1051
01:03:50,900 --> 01:03:52,700
of a sudden their hearts begins
to change because they're start
1052
01:03:52,700 --> 01:03:55,500
seeing you, but it's not you,
they start seeing Jesus in you.
1053
01:03:55,500 --> 01:03:58,400
Amen.
And so, we have the opportunity
1054
01:03:58,400 --> 01:04:02,000
as Christians to point people to
Jesus.
1055
01:04:02,200 --> 01:04:05,600
The only thing that matters, the
question leave with this is how
1056
01:04:05,600 --> 01:04:09,100
uncomfortable, because there's
nothing comfortable about this
1057
01:04:09,100 --> 01:04:11,400
life because it's not meant for
Comfort.
1058
01:04:11,400 --> 01:04:14,600
It's not our home.
We're just passing through,
1059
01:04:14,900 --> 01:04:17,200
we're foreigners in a four lanes
soon.
1060
01:04:17,300 --> 01:04:19,500
Build.
Big houses will have crazy.
1061
01:04:19,500 --> 01:04:22,800
Nice stuff.
We just push towards Jesus, and
1062
01:04:22,800 --> 01:04:25,600
we bring as many people on the
journey as possible.
1063
01:04:25,600 --> 01:04:28,300
Amen.
So father, we come before you
1064
01:04:28,500 --> 01:04:30,400
now.
Pay will be passionate about
1065
01:04:30,400 --> 01:04:32,200
people.
Gotta pray for our church to be
1066
01:04:32,200 --> 01:04:36,800
most uncomfortable Church in all
of Kansas City because we're not
1067
01:04:36,800 --> 01:04:39,400
about ourselves.
Got her all about your mission.
1068
01:04:39,600 --> 01:04:42,200
You're all about serving you and
pointing people to you.
1069
01:04:42,200 --> 01:04:44,700
And God Is So sobering knowing
that, the only thing that goes
1070
01:04:44,700 --> 01:04:48,100
through eternity with us that we
can take Besides the word of God
1071
01:04:48,100 --> 01:04:50,700
is people.
So help us to be uncomfortable.
1072
01:04:50,700 --> 01:04:53,400
So on a pray for somebody a day,
maybe all of you today.
1073
01:04:53,700 --> 01:04:55,500
Somebody say, you know what?
I'm willing to get uncomfortable
1074
01:04:55,500 --> 01:04:57,800
for Jesus.
It's been it's been maybe
1075
01:04:57,800 --> 01:04:59,300
unconscious a little bit, but
I'm going to be more
1076
01:04:59,300 --> 01:05:01,300
uncomfortable.
I'm going to live my life on
1077
01:05:01,300 --> 01:05:02,700
purpose.
I'm willing to step up.
1078
01:05:02,700 --> 01:05:05,300
I'm going to do whatever God
calls me to do because this
1079
01:05:05,300 --> 01:05:08,400
isn't about me, it's about
Jesus, about people, knowing
1080
01:05:08,400 --> 01:05:09,500
Jesus.
So, that's your day.
1081
01:05:09,500 --> 01:05:11,100
You say I'm willing to go
uncomfortable.
1082
01:05:11,400 --> 01:05:13,500
We put your hand high and say,
that's me today.
1083
01:05:13,500 --> 01:05:15,000
I'm only going to control for
Jesus.
1084
01:05:15,000 --> 01:05:16,400
Come on, put your hand up in
this place.
1085
01:05:17,300 --> 01:05:19,700
I know that you're only getting
comfortable, just kind of put
1086
01:05:19,700 --> 01:05:22,000
that up there and say, yeah, say
and see me, you better put on my
1087
01:05:22,000 --> 01:05:23,800
back.
So I'm going want to pray for
1088
01:05:23,800 --> 01:05:24,400
you.
Father, God.
1089
01:05:24,400 --> 01:05:25,700
Thanks so much for every hand
raised.
1090
01:05:25,700 --> 01:05:27,300
Got every heart, you're moving
in God.
1091
01:05:27,300 --> 01:05:29,800
I pray that we would shape the
world because your power through
1092
01:05:29,800 --> 01:05:30,700
US.
Yes.
1093
01:05:30,700 --> 01:05:32,400
Not about us when it become
about us.
1094
01:05:32,900 --> 01:05:35,500
God's all about you.
So we surrender our life to you.
1095
01:05:35,800 --> 01:05:38,000
Yeah, we were going to rob hell
of death.
1096
01:05:38,400 --> 01:05:39,600
God.
We're going to point, people
1097
01:05:39,600 --> 01:05:42,300
were put up roadblocks.
Got we're loving our neighbor.
1098
01:05:42,500 --> 01:05:43,900
Now.
We're loving our family.
1099
01:05:44,300 --> 01:05:48,000
Got we were full of patience and
kindness and Joy, even though
1100
01:05:48,000 --> 01:05:51,000
the world is pulling us down, we
choose to stand up because we
1101
01:05:51,000 --> 01:05:53,900
know the end of the story, we
know who the victory lies and we
1102
01:05:53,900 --> 01:05:56,200
lead from Victory, not for
victory, Gallop.
1103
01:05:56,200 --> 01:05:59,300
We know who we are today.
So God call us out as a
1104
01:05:59,300 --> 01:06:02,600
generation.
Got to lead guess a church that
1105
01:06:02,600 --> 01:06:06,300
point people to you, God, that
death, even though it's got tons
1106
01:06:06,300 --> 01:06:08,500
of questions.
We know where our eternity is
1107
01:06:08,800 --> 01:06:11,300
got, we know that that an empty
grave God.
1108
01:06:11,300 --> 01:06:13,900
It means somebody's present with
Jesus, and they just beat us
1109
01:06:13,900 --> 01:06:15,800
home.
So we're counting down the days.
1110
01:06:15,800 --> 01:06:18,000
God.
We were numbered our We know
1111
01:06:18,000 --> 01:06:20,800
exactly where we stand and just
a dash.
1112
01:06:20,800 --> 01:06:23,600
In a moment.
We know that our days are
1113
01:06:23,600 --> 01:06:26,000
numbered God help us to know
mortality and the brevity of
1114
01:06:26,000 --> 01:06:29,100
life because we're living on
Mission in this season.
1115
01:06:29,300 --> 01:06:30,800
Gonna pray for one more group
people and that's those.
1116
01:06:30,800 --> 01:06:32,800
You say, no, I recognize who
Jesus is today.
1117
01:06:33,100 --> 01:06:34,800
I recognize that Jesus broke the
curse.
1118
01:06:34,800 --> 01:06:37,600
I've been down this on my own.
I've been fined, depression of
1119
01:06:37,600 --> 01:06:39,000
the find anxiety.
I'm going through some deep
1120
01:06:39,000 --> 01:06:40,700
stuff.
I've been running and running
1121
01:06:40,700 --> 01:06:42,400
and running from God.
I had no idea has been chasing
1122
01:06:42,400 --> 01:06:43,700
you.
But today, I know Jesus has been
1123
01:06:43,700 --> 01:06:46,400
chasing me and that's you.
The Bible says this image called
1124
01:06:46,400 --> 01:06:48,900
the name of Jesus.
Yes, we saved forgiven and made
1125
01:06:48,900 --> 01:06:50,600
new.
You believe that Jesus died on
1126
01:06:50,600 --> 01:06:53,600
the cross for your sins and rose
again, that you will have a home
1127
01:06:53,800 --> 01:06:55,500
in heaven.
He'll forgive you, and make, you
1128
01:06:55,500 --> 01:06:57,600
need a day and you don't just
get to spend eternity with
1129
01:06:57,600 --> 01:06:58,700
Heaven.
You start to, spend eternity
1130
01:06:58,700 --> 01:07:01,400
with Jesus.
Now, you start leading and
1131
01:07:01,400 --> 01:07:04,700
following and know who you are
and be different and made whole
1132
01:07:04,800 --> 01:07:05,900
house.
Is your new creation.
1133
01:07:05,900 --> 01:07:08,500
So, if you need Jesus today, you
say yes to him.
1134
01:07:08,500 --> 01:07:10,200
Maybe online in person.
Whatever.
1135
01:07:10,400 --> 01:07:11,100
You need.
Jesus.
1136
01:07:11,100 --> 01:07:12,900
We put your hand high.
So I need Jesus a day.
1137
01:07:12,900 --> 01:07:14,900

Meanwhile, 90 Jesus.
I want to lead you in a prayer
1140
01:07:19,600 --> 01:07:21,300

You always had a plan.
1143
01:07:25,900 --> 01:07:28,800
You never left this by ourselves
God, you ran towards us.
1144
01:07:28,800 --> 01:07:30,800
So we ran away from you and
today I'm running back to you
1145
01:07:30,800 --> 01:07:34,100

the down, across my sins and

01:07:34,100 --> 01:07:36,900
pray, you can have my life and I
serve you praise in Jesus name.
1147
01:07:37,400 --> 01:07:38,100
Amen.

And if that's you today, you

made that decision when we are
so excited for you today.
1151
01:07:48,300 --> 01:07:52,500
You're choosing life to be
alive, not dead in sins but
1152
01:07:52,500 --> 01:07:55,100
alive to God.
And so we have a couple of next

Journey, but also a place where
1159
01:08:11,600 --> 01:08:14,900
you can share your Because we
would love to celebrate what God
1160
01:08:14,900 --> 01:08:18,600
is doing with you today.
Or if you're here with us in
1161
01:08:18,600 --> 01:08:20,399
person at Kentucky Trail on the
way out.

01:08:20,399 --> 01:08:23,800
There's a table with some red
bags inside as a free Bible and
1163
01:08:23,800 --> 01:08:27,000
also a letter just to explain
some of those resources for you.
1164
01:08:27,000 --> 01:08:29,700
So please take one of those on
your way out today.
1165
01:08:30,100 --> 01:08:33,700
And then for all of us to have a
few next steps today, man, the
1166
01:08:33,700 --> 01:08:37,600
only things that will go with us
into eternity is the word of God
1167
01:08:37,700 --> 01:08:39,500
and people.
And that's a powerful thought
1168
01:08:39,500 --> 01:08:43,000
about how we spend everyday, all
the things that we do and so So
1169
01:08:43,100 --> 01:08:45,700
I want to encourage you.
We are coming up on our fall,
1170
01:08:45,700 --> 01:08:48,399
life group semester and maybe
you're thinking, man.
1171
01:08:48,399 --> 01:08:51,600
This might be something that God
is calling me to maybe attending
1172
01:08:51,600 --> 01:08:54,399
a life group for the first time,
but also may be leading a life
1173
01:08:54,399 --> 01:08:56,899
group for the first time and
what I love about our life
1174
01:08:56,899 --> 01:09:00,600
groups are real life is that you
don't have to come up with some
1175
01:09:00,600 --> 01:09:04,500
magical, amazing thing to bring
people together to follow Jesus.
1176
01:09:04,500 --> 01:09:07,600
You can go out and serve, you
know, your friends every
1177
01:09:07,600 --> 01:09:10,300
Wednesday night meal and do that
together.
1178
01:09:10,300 --> 01:09:14,100
You can watch football together,
you can Through a Bible study
1179
01:09:14,300 --> 01:09:17,500
together, but the point is that
it's taking the things you
1180
01:09:17,500 --> 01:09:19,300
already love to do and you're
working together.
1181
01:09:19,300 --> 01:09:22,399
Let's take that time and invest
it into people of God and
1182
01:09:22,399 --> 01:09:26,000
Inspire them to be able to find
Freedom and live the life that
1183
01:09:26,000 --> 01:09:28,899
they need to live.
And so if that's something that
1184
01:09:28,899 --> 01:09:30,200
God's been working on your
heart.
1185
01:09:30,200 --> 01:09:32,000
I want you to reach out to Holly
Holcomb.
1186
01:09:32,000 --> 01:09:34,500

Her email address is on the

01:09:34,500 --> 01:09:36,700

process, to help you be fully
1189
01:09:39,200 --> 01:09:43,800

1190
01:09:43,800 --> 01:09:47,700

01:09:50,700 --> 01:09:54,300
Apartments to reach our
community for Jesus.
1193
01:09:54,300 --> 01:09:57,500
And this is an incredible
opportunity to go and be the
1194
01:09:57,500 --> 01:09:59,600
hands and feet of Jesus.
Alongside people.
1195
01:09:59,600 --> 01:10:03,500
Connecting with people sharing
their Vision, sharing your our
1196
01:10:03,500 --> 01:10:06,600

community for Jesus.
1197
01:10:06,600 --> 01:10:08,500
And so if you want more
information about this

difference, be the hands and
1199
01:10:11,200 --> 01:10:14,300

1200
01:10:14,300 --> 01:10:16,400
God out of these walls to our
community.
1201
01:10:16,600 --> 01:10:18,700
Let me know.
We're looking for a person, a
1202
01:10:18,700 --> 01:10:21,800
couple or a couple of Roommates
to go.
1203
01:10:21,800 --> 01:10:25,000
And to be sent out as part of
real life to make a difference.
1204
01:10:25,000 --> 01:10:27,400
And so I would love to connect
you with more information or if
1205
01:10:27,400 --> 01:10:30,600
you have any questions and
lastly, is this Sean said that
1206
01:10:30,600 --> 01:10:33,500
the thing we have in common is
spending and the first thing
1207
01:10:33,500 --> 01:10:36,700
that came to my mind is how easy
it is to go and spend about how
1208
01:10:36,700 --> 01:10:40,100
hard it is.
Sometimes to go and invest and I
1209
01:10:40,100 --> 01:10:42,600
think about the times that I've
had the opportunity to give
1210
01:10:42,600 --> 01:10:44,100
back.
Back to somebody who's hurting
1211
01:10:44,300 --> 01:10:47,600
to give to a cause that means
something to me or to be able to
1212
01:10:47,600 --> 01:10:50,700
give and see the power of God
move in someone's life, through
1213
01:10:50,700 --> 01:10:53,600
a counseling session or to see
somebody come to Jesus, or to
1214
01:10:53,600 --> 01:10:55,800
see a young person, give their
life to God.
1215
01:10:56,000 --> 01:10:58,600
And I don't ever regret that
investment that I've made into
1216
01:10:58,600 --> 01:11:01,200
what God is doing.
So I'd love to challenge you.
1217
01:11:01,300 --> 01:11:04,100
If you've never thought about
investing in what God is doing
1218
01:11:04,300 --> 01:11:07,300
to be a part of that here at
real life because your blessing
1219
01:11:07,300 --> 01:11:10,300
that you will receive back will
be exponentially greater than
1220
01:11:10,300 --> 01:11:12,600
you ever could have thought.
And you can do that three ways.
1221
01:11:12,900 --> 01:11:16,100
You can go to Real Life Church
kc.com and click give, you can
1222
01:11:16,100 --> 01:11:19,000

three, two, one, or you can drop
1223
01:11:19,000 --> 01:11:21,300

you can put cash or check in.
1224
01:11:21,300 --> 01:11:24,700
We have an envelope for you if
that's easier this morning and
1225
01:11:24,700 --> 01:11:28,700
so be thinking about how you are
going to play a part in people
1226
01:11:28,900 --> 01:11:31,400

been weighing on your heart.
1236
01:12:05,700 --> 01:12:09,600
Remember, this week is focused
on answering questions that we
1237
01:12:09,600 --> 01:12:13,200
normally don't talk about.
What questions do you have about
1238
01:12:13,200 --> 01:12:15,700

1243
01:12:32,200 --> 01:12:35,800
With Pastor shot next week.
We dive into a question that
1244
01:12:35,800 --> 01:12:40,100
hits home for all of us.
We've all had tragedy strike
1245
01:12:40,100 --> 01:12:43,700
this last week.
Eek we've seen the unimaginable
1246
01:12:43,700 --> 01:12:48,700
pain and Afghanistan in Haiti.
Many of us have empty chairs
1247
01:12:48,700 --> 01:12:51,300
around our tables, from bad
things that have wrecked our
1248
01:12:51,300 --> 01:12:54,700
lives.
So join us next Sunday.
1249
01:12:54,700 --> 01:12:58,600
As Pastor, Sean jumps into
another heartfelt message with
1250
01:12:58,600 --> 01:13:02,200
another hidden question.
Why do bad things happen to good
1251
01:13:02,200 --> 01:13:05,700
people?
I'm so looking forward to that.
1252
01:13:06,400 --> 01:13:16,200
See you next week.
There were part of a church that
1253
01:13:16,200 --> 01:13:18,800
we can get to ask the hard
questions, the questions we all
1254
01:13:18,800 --> 01:13:20,200
have in our minds, man.
Pastor, Sean.
1255
01:13:20,200 --> 01:13:21,300
What a great job.
What a?
1256
01:13:21,500 --> 01:13:24,200
What a challenge to know that
God has something for us
1257
01:13:24,200 --> 01:13:26,600
something that we should be for
not just something that we're
1258
01:13:26,600 --> 01:13:29,000
against.
Hey, don't forget, send your
1259
01:13:29,000 --> 01:13:31,300

any reason, we'll have a team
1263
01:13:38,400 --> 01:13:40,700

Hey, 930 level next week.
Can't wait to see you guys.

There's always remember whoever

01:13:51,900 --> 01:13:54,300
finds Jesus discovers real life,
and purpose.
1270
01:13:54,400 --> 01:13:55,300
See you next week.
