  • She. if he could provide manna from heaven.
  • 00:00:00.900 --> 00:00:05.168
  • If he can heart the waters to get to the other side,
  • 00:00:05.168 --> 00:00:08.171
  • He can provide the things that you need.
  • 00:00:08.171 --> 00:00:10.673
  • When you listen to his voice and follow him.
  • 00:00:10.673 --> 00:00:13.142
  • But all of a sudden we see this shift from that
  • 00:00:13.142 --> 00:00:16.179
  • To also, okay, god will supply what you need,
  • 00:00:16.179 --> 00:00:18.347
  • But with the needs that god gives you,
  • 00:00:18.347 --> 00:00:20.650
  • There comes responsibility.
  • 00:00:20.650 --> 00:00:22.618
  • But all of a sudden we see this shift from that
  • 00:00:22.618 --> 00:00:25.655
  • To also, okay, god will supply what you need,
  • 00:00:25.655 --> 00:00:27.824
  • But with the needs that god gives you,
  • 00:00:27.824 --> 00:00:30.093
  • There comes responsibility
  • 00:00:30.093 --> 00:00:32.595
  • And you are held accountable over the responsibility
  • 00:00:32.595 --> 00:00:34.997
  • You should have over with what god placed in your hands.
  • 00:00:34.997 --> 00:00:38.701
  • So jesus warns us.
  • 00:00:38.701 --> 00:00:39.936
  • He says, there's going to be some servants who hear the lord.
  • 00:00:39.936 --> 00:00:42.472
  • They hear their master, and they're ready to go.
  • 00:00:42.472 --> 00:00:44.273
  • But there's also going to be some
  • 00:00:44.273 --> 00:00:45.575
  • Some people who hear, god don't care,
  • 00:00:46.409 --> 00:00:49.178
  • Hear god, don't listen,
  • 00:00:49.178 --> 00:00:51.147
  • Hear god, don't walk in obedience.
  • 00:00:51.147 --> 00:00:53.583
  • And even though they know what they should do,
  • 00:00:53.583 --> 00:00:55.985
  • They do not do it.
  • 00:00:55.985 --> 00:00:57.553
  • So let's look at the text together.
  • 00:00:57.553 --> 00:00:58.788
  • Luke chapter 12, verse 47 and 48.
  • 00:00:58.788 --> 00:01:02.558
  • Here's the parable. jesus said that
  • 00:01:02.558 --> 00:01:04.460
  • Servant knew what his master wanted him to do.
  • 00:01:04.460 --> 00:01:07.530
  • But listen to this.
  • 00:01:07.530 --> 00:01:08.331
  • But he did not make himself ready
  • 00:01:08.331 --> 00:01:10.633
  • Or tried to do what his master wanted.
  • 00:01:10.633 --> 00:01:13.503
  • So that servant will be punished very much.
  • 00:01:13.503 --> 00:01:16.873
  • But what about the servant
  • 00:01:16.873 --> 00:01:18.674
  • Who does not know what his master wants?
  • 00:01:18.674 --> 00:01:21.144
  • He also does things that deserve punishment,
  • 00:01:21.144 --> 00:01:23.913
  • But he will get less punishment
  • 00:01:23.913 --> 00:01:25.781
  • Than the servant who knew what he should do.
  • 00:01:25.781 --> 00:01:29.452
  • Now, to explain the context and background of this parable,
  • 00:01:29.452 --> 00:01:32.288
  • Jesus is talking about a master
  • 00:01:32.288 --> 00:01:34.090
  • That left his servants in charge.
  • 00:01:34.090 --> 00:01:36.659
  • Okay.
  • 00:01:36.659 --> 00:01:37.560
  • The master leaves coming back one day,
  • 00:01:37.560 --> 00:01:41.864
  • But they're not good stewards over
  • 00:01:41.864 --> 00:01:43.533
  • What the master has left,
  • 00:01:43.533 --> 00:01:44.667
  • And they beat the servants under them,
  • 00:01:44.667 --> 00:01:46.802
  • And they hurt people, and they're selfish
  • 00:01:46.802 --> 00:01:49.405
  • And they're greedy. guess what? the master comes back.
  • 00:01:49.405 --> 00:01:53.342
  • You know what that represents.
  • 00:01:53.943 --> 00:01:56.145
  • Jesus comes back.
  • 00:01:56.145 --> 00:01:59.248
  • And so he's asking the question.
  • 00:01:59.248 --> 00:02:01.784
  • In this lifetime,
  • 00:02:01.784 --> 00:02:03.653
  • In the short amount of time that you have on this earth,
  • 00:02:03.653 --> 00:02:06.455
  • With everything that god has given you,
  • 00:02:06.455 --> 00:02:08.524
  • Are you stewarding it well at all?
  • 00:02:08.524 --> 00:02:10.726
  • Or are you living by greed and selfishness
  • 00:02:10.726 --> 00:02:13.029
  • And putting yourself first before other people?
  • 00:02:13.029 --> 00:02:14.997
  • Because guess what? god knows.
  • 00:02:14.997 --> 00:02:17.767
  • And god also knows if you know better, but
  • 00:02:17.767 --> 00:02:20.403
  • Still not walking in obedience.
  • 00:02:20.403 --> 00:02:24.640
  • So then jesus says this. he says this.
  • 00:02:24.640 --> 00:02:26.709
  • He says, whoever has been given much for this
  • 00:02:26.709 --> 00:02:30.279
  • Will be responsible for much.
  • 00:02:30.913 --> 00:02:34.350
  • I think i just changed your prayer life right there.
  • 00:02:34.350 --> 00:02:36.652
  • God, you know those things, i want it, i don't want them.
  • 00:02:36.652 --> 00:02:39.956
  • I don't want them anymore.
  • 00:02:39.956 --> 00:02:40.957
  • Just i'm good with where i'm at.
  • 00:02:40.957 --> 00:02:42.558
  • I'm good with everything. right?
  • 00:02:42.558 --> 00:02:45.461
  • With more
  • 00:02:45.761 --> 00:02:47.797
  • Comes more responsibility.
  • 00:02:47.797 --> 00:02:51.200
  • And so my question for you today is if you want to be blessed,
  • 00:02:51.200 --> 00:02:53.402
  • Can you actually handle the blessings that they
  • 00:02:53.402 --> 00:02:54.904
  • Were placed in your hands?
  • 00:02:54.904 --> 00:02:57.573
  • Would it change you?
  • 00:02:57.573 --> 00:03:00.109
  • Would you become a different person
  • 00:03:00.109 --> 00:03:01.377
  • If you got everything you wanted?
  • 00:03:01.377 --> 00:03:03.779
  • Sometimes the blessings can reveal
  • 00:03:03.779 --> 00:03:05.348
  • What's really on the inside and in your heart.
  • 00:03:05.348 --> 00:03:09.018
  • But listen to what jesus says here.
  • 00:03:09.018 --> 00:03:10.152
  • Here's there's much more will be expected from the one
  • 00:03:10.152 --> 00:03:12.088
  • Who has been given more.
  • 00:03:12.088 --> 00:03:15.258
  • Just this past week, i believe i had a god conversation.
  • 00:03:16.359 --> 00:03:19.895
  • I talked to a friend that i haven't
  • 00:03:19.895 --> 00:03:21.230
  • Talked to in a good while,
  • 00:03:21.230 --> 00:03:23.099
  • And we were just kind of catching up on some things,
  • 00:03:23.099 --> 00:03:24.800
  • And he actually brought up the topic.
  • 00:03:24.800 --> 00:03:26.702
  • I did not,
  • 00:03:26.702 --> 00:03:27.803
  • But he brings up the topic
  • 00:03:27.803 --> 00:03:29.005
  • Has he says, you know what, i'm just trying to get closer
  • 00:03:29.005 --> 00:03:30.573
  • To the lord on a lot of things in my life.
  • 00:03:30.573 --> 00:03:32.775
  • And he said, i want to start tithing again.
  • 00:03:32.775 --> 00:03:34.877
  • I want to be generous, i want to
  • 00:03:34.877 --> 00:03:36.345
  • I want to give over to the lord.
  • 00:03:36.345 --> 00:03:37.480
  • Now, i'm not going to tell you this guy's business,
  • 00:03:37.480 --> 00:03:40.049
  • But let me just say he makes more than a month
  • 00:03:40.049 --> 00:03:41.884
  • And i'll ever make in my lifetime.
  • 00:03:41.884 --> 00:03:43.919
  • Okay?
  • 00:03:44.153 --> 00:03:45.521
  • And he said, you know what?
  • 00:03:45.521 --> 00:03:46.722
  • I want to be more generous with what the lord has given me
  • 00:03:46.722 --> 00:03:48.824
  • Because i know that everything good comes from above.
  • 00:03:48.824 --> 00:03:52.128
  • But he said, it's hard.
  • 00:03:52.128 --> 00:03:53.462
  • It's really, really difficult.
  • 00:03:53.462 --> 00:03:55.431
  • And i said, why is it hard to give?
  • 00:03:55.431 --> 00:03:57.166
  • What are you struggling with?
  • 00:03:57.166 --> 00:03:58.034
  • He said, because it's so much to give
  • 00:03:58.034 --> 00:04:01.337
  • That it's hard for me to trust and let it go.
  • 00:04:02.204 --> 00:04:05.975
  • And it just kind of blew my mind the conversation.
  • 00:04:05.975 --> 00:04:07.843
  • I'm so glad he was honest.
  • 00:04:07.843 --> 00:04:10.646
  • Like, to me, it was such a good conversation
  • 00:04:10.646 --> 00:04:12.715
  • Because he's being real and he's being vulnerable
  • 00:04:12.715 --> 00:04:14.917
  • About the very thing that he's struggling with.
  • 00:04:14.917 --> 00:04:17.053
  • And it kind of blew my mind because i've spoken many times
  • 00:04:17.053 --> 00:04:19.789
  • About my upbringing and struggling financially
  • 00:04:19.789 --> 00:04:22.358
  • And not having enough to give.
  • 00:04:22.358 --> 00:04:23.793
  • Here's another person who has too much, but still
  • 00:04:23.793 --> 00:04:27.129
  • Struggling with the temptation to give. why?
  • 00:04:27.129 --> 00:04:29.799
  • Because the temptation not to give will come after you,
  • 00:04:29.799 --> 00:04:32.234
  • No matter what social status.
  • 00:04:32.234 --> 00:04:34.303
  • Because if you look at the bible, it's
  • 00:04:35.071 --> 00:04:36.439
  • Not an amount issue, it's a heart condition.
  • 00:04:36.439 --> 00:04:38.541
  • Every time.
  • 00:04:38.541 --> 00:04:40.109
  • It's always a heart condition.
  • 00:04:40.109 --> 00:04:42.278
  • If you're praying for more, god, give me more.
  • 00:04:42.278 --> 00:04:44.980
  • I want to be financially stable. i want to have a savings.
  • 00:04:44.980 --> 00:04:47.683
  • I want to have a retirement.
  • 00:04:47.683 --> 00:04:48.751
  • I want to have all these things listed.
  • 00:04:48.751 --> 00:04:50.219
  • But if you can't handle $10, $10 in a godly manner,
  • 00:04:50.219 --> 00:04:53.956
  • You will not handle 10,000.
  • 00:04:53.956 --> 00:04:56.959
  • If you cannot be responsible for $10,
  • 00:04:56.959 --> 00:04:59.261
  • You will not be responsible with 10,000
  • 00:04:59.261 --> 00:05:01.230
  • If god placed it in your hands today.
  • 00:05:01.230 --> 00:05:03.099
  • It's a discipline thing
  • 00:05:03.099 --> 00:05:06.302
  • And people get so upset over it sometimes and i don't get it
  • 00:05:06.302 --> 00:05:08.738
  • Like i needed it. i struggled with it,
  • 00:05:08.738 --> 00:05:10.773
  • But i needed the discipline to get there.
  • 00:05:10.773 --> 00:05:13.275
  • I had to set disciplines.
  • 00:05:13.275 --> 00:05:14.877
  • Imagine if you did that with everything else.
  • 00:05:14.877 --> 00:05:17.012
  • I want to get in shape.
  • 00:05:17.012 --> 00:05:18.514
  • I want to get some abs and get right.
  • 00:05:18.514 --> 00:05:20.249
  • But, i'm just going to go to the gym, whatever i want to,
  • 00:05:20.249 --> 00:05:22.585
  • And i'm on this eat everything i see.
  • 00:05:23.386 --> 00:05:25.187
  • Diet. it's working well for me.
  • 00:05:25.187 --> 00:05:27.723
  • Except the mornings when i get up.
  • 00:05:27.723 --> 00:05:29.125
  • I don't feel that good.
  • 00:05:29.125 --> 00:05:31.293
  • You need discipline for the goals that you want in
  • 00:05:31.293 --> 00:05:33.863
  • Life, right? you do it with everything else.
  • 00:05:33.863 --> 00:05:35.865
  • You do it with your business.
  • 00:05:35.865 --> 00:05:37.700
  • You do it with your marriage.
  • 00:05:37.700 --> 00:05:39.802
  • Why don't you do it with what god has placed in your hands,
  • 00:05:39.802 --> 00:05:42.772
  • Even financially,
  • 00:05:42.772 --> 00:05:44.707
  • To give over to the kingdom of god.
  • 00:05:44.707 --> 00:05:46.075
  • And so we had this talk and i was thinking like,
  • 00:05:46.075 --> 00:05:48.310
  • You know what?
  • 00:05:48.310 --> 00:05:49.178
  • Let me teach this out of the bible
  • 00:05:49.178 --> 00:05:51.347
  • Because this is a powerful
  • 00:05:51.347 --> 00:05:52.548
  • Again, it's not an amount problem. it's a heart condition.
  • 00:05:52.548 --> 00:05:54.784
  • We all struggle with it.
  • 00:05:54.784 --> 00:05:56.018
  • And some of us, it doesn't mean you're a bad person either.
  • 00:05:56.018 --> 00:05:57.653
  • I'm not saying that he's not a bad person.
  • 00:05:57.653 --> 00:05:59.889
  • We just get stuck.
  • 00:05:59.889 --> 00:06:01.624
  • We just get stuck with
  • 00:06:02.091 --> 00:06:03.125
  • Trusting god sometimes when it comes to these things.
  • 00:06:03.125 --> 00:06:06.328
  • So now if you have your bibles, turn to matthew chapter 25.
  • 00:06:06.328 --> 00:06:09.432
  • Okay.
  • 00:06:09.665 --> 00:06:10.533
  • I want to show you one more parable.
  • 00:06:10.533 --> 00:06:11.801
  • This parable is actually about
  • 00:06:11.801 --> 00:06:14.437
  • Taking care of the master's money.
  • 00:06:14.437 --> 00:06:17.873
  • But the principle also applies to everything
  • 00:06:17.873 --> 00:06:19.775
  • That god has given you in your life. okay?
  • 00:06:19.775 --> 00:06:21.877
  • Whether it's talents, whether it's skills, okay,
  • 00:06:21.877 --> 00:06:24.547
  • Whether it's finances or just blessings,
  • 00:06:24.547 --> 00:06:26.749
  • Whatever god has given you,
  • 00:06:26.749 --> 00:06:28.350
  • Are you stewarding it well for his kingdom?
  • 00:06:28.350 --> 00:06:30.920
  • But in this case, it actually is talking about a bag of money
  • 00:06:30.920 --> 00:06:34.089
  • Or a talent. according to many translations.
  • 00:06:34.089 --> 00:06:36.992
  • Matthew 25, verse 14 and 15 and when i say talent,
  • 00:06:36.992 --> 00:06:40.329
  • I mean a bag of money.
  • 00:06:40.329 --> 00:06:41.597
  • Again it states, the kingdom of heaven
  • 00:06:41.597 --> 00:06:44.600
  • Can be illustrated by the story of a man going on a long trip.
  • 00:06:44.600 --> 00:06:49.472
  • Now he called together his servants
  • 00:06:49.472 --> 00:06:51.273
  • And entrusted his money to them while he was gone.
  • 00:06:51.273 --> 00:06:54.977
  • And he gave five bags of silver to one, two bags
  • 00:06:54.977 --> 00:06:58.647
  • Of silver to another, and one bag of silver to the last,
  • 00:06:58.647 --> 00:07:01.951
  • Dividing it in proportion to according to the way.
  • 00:07:01.951 --> 00:07:05.588
  • Oh, will you underline that?
  • 00:07:06.188 --> 00:07:08.190
  • Because this is where we get in our fields,
  • 00:07:08.190 --> 00:07:10.693
  • This is where we get in our emotions,
  • 00:07:10.693 --> 00:07:12.695
  • And we start to get upset
  • 00:07:12.695 --> 00:07:14.163
  • That god didn't give me what he gave you,
  • 00:07:14.163 --> 00:07:16.966
  • That god gave me less than what he gave you.
  • 00:07:16.966 --> 00:07:18.934
  • Listen, here's what the bible states
  • 00:07:18.934 --> 00:07:20.469
  • About the character of god.
  • 00:07:20.469 --> 00:07:21.504
  • He divides it and proportions according to our
  • 00:07:21.504 --> 00:07:24.406
  • Abilities.
  • 00:07:24.406 --> 00:07:25.441
  • And another way, the things that you can handle,
  • 00:07:25.441 --> 00:07:28.077
  • The things that you're actually
  • 00:07:28.077 --> 00:07:29.178
  • Strong enough to carry because you don't want weight
  • 00:07:29.178 --> 00:07:30.813
  • You can't carry, it will cost you.
  • 00:07:30.813 --> 00:07:33.282
  • Okay, so that's what he's stating here.
  • 00:07:33.282 --> 00:07:35.317
  • Then he left on his trip.
  • 00:07:35.317 --> 00:07:36.886
  • This was not just a small bag.
  • 00:07:36.886 --> 00:07:39.188
  • And again, some of your translations
  • 00:07:39.188 --> 00:07:40.389
  • State talent which is a unit of measurement of this silver.
  • 00:07:40.389 --> 00:07:44.827
  • And so let me break it down for you.
  • 00:07:44.827 --> 00:07:45.995
  • One bag was roughly equal to about 20 years of wages.
  • 00:07:45.995 --> 00:07:51.400
  • That small bag.
  • 00:07:51.767 --> 00:07:53.102
  • So imagine that much money placed in your hands.
  • 00:07:53.102 --> 00:07:55.971
  • Oh, god. are you sure you want to
  • 00:07:55.971 --> 00:07:58.374
  • Give me 20 years of wages for the average worker?
  • 00:07:58.374 --> 00:08:01.277
  • Just for some fun.
  • 00:08:01.277 --> 00:08:03.145
  • A modern estimate today of a bag or a towel.
  • 00:08:03.145 --> 00:08:05.915
  • It could be around 500,000 to $1 million.
  • 00:08:05.915 --> 00:08:09.818
  • Some of y'all looking at me like, well,
  • 00:08:10.686 --> 00:08:12.655
  • Imagine god placing $1 million in your hand.
  • 00:08:12.655 --> 00:08:16.325
  • Everybody wants to be a millionaire.
  • 00:08:16.325 --> 00:08:18.394
  • But can you handle god's million?
  • 00:08:18.394 --> 00:08:19.862
  • That's the question.
  • 00:08:19.862 --> 00:08:22.097
  • It was honest to the master belongs to god.
  • 00:08:22.097 --> 00:08:24.133
  • That's what he's stating here.
  • 00:08:24.133 --> 00:08:25.200
  • It's $1 million placed in your hand.
  • 00:08:25.200 --> 00:08:27.036
  • Just one bag.
  • 00:08:27.036 --> 00:08:28.671
  • But again, according to their abilities.
  • 00:08:28.671 --> 00:08:31.307
  • And so here's what i see in our own life.
  • 00:08:31.307 --> 00:08:33.108
  • I deal with this all the time, even even in myself.
  • 00:08:33.108 --> 00:08:35.477
  • Okay, we get it.
  • 00:08:35.477 --> 00:08:36.445
  • We get excited. god trusted me with a million.
  • 00:08:36.445 --> 00:08:39.248
  • Trusting me with a million.
  • 00:08:39.248 --> 00:08:40.282
  • Hallelujah!
  • 00:08:40.282 --> 00:08:41.717
  • And you're happy.
  • 00:08:41.717 --> 00:08:42.585
  • You're grateful until you're offended
  • 00:08:42.585 --> 00:08:43.986
  • That somebody else over there has 5 million.
  • 00:08:43.986 --> 00:08:46.822
  • What did you do?
  • 00:08:47.222 --> 00:08:48.490
  • You know, like, how did you get there?
  • 00:08:48.490 --> 00:08:50.326
  • And so be careful.
  • 00:08:50.326 --> 00:08:53.929
  • Remember what god told cain.
  • 00:08:53.929 --> 00:08:56.131
  • Sin is crouching at your door,
  • 00:08:56.131 --> 00:08:58.601
  • Ready to consume you.
  • 00:08:58.601 --> 00:08:59.635
  • It wants to overtake you, wants to control you.
  • 00:08:59.635 --> 00:09:01.770
  • Comparing yourself to others will kill stewardship
  • 00:09:01.770 --> 00:09:05.341
  • Always comparing yourself to other
  • 00:09:06.108 --> 00:09:08.544
  • People will kill the calling that god has on your life,
  • 00:09:08.544 --> 00:09:12.915
  • Because you're too busy looking and focusing on the wrong lane.
  • 00:09:12.915 --> 00:09:18.020
  • Run your race.
  • 00:09:18.354 --> 00:09:20.022
  • It's your story.
  • 00:09:20.022 --> 00:09:21.790
  • God is so good that you have a story of your own.
  • 00:09:21.790 --> 00:09:24.493
  • You don't need their story.
  • 00:09:24.493 --> 00:09:26.662
  • God's writing a story specifically for you,
  • 00:09:26.662 --> 00:09:29.131
  • But comparing yourself will kill stewardship.
  • 00:09:29.131 --> 00:09:31.166
  • And guess what?
  • 00:09:31.166 --> 00:09:32.167
  • When jealousy grows, it kills all generosity.
  • 00:09:32.167 --> 00:09:34.336
  • Why would i give if i'm not getting the things that i want?
  • 00:09:34.336 --> 00:09:39.541
  • We say that and we hear it.
  • 00:09:40.142 --> 00:09:42.911
  • We hear in our heads.
  • 00:09:42.911 --> 00:09:43.846
  • Sometimes we hear it in our hearts.
  • 00:09:43.846 --> 00:09:46.315
  • Our flesh is screaming.
  • 00:09:46.315 --> 00:09:47.416
  • These things.
  • 00:09:47.416 --> 00:09:49.618
  • And so god gives us what we can handle
  • 00:09:49.618 --> 00:09:53.288
  • When it comes to this, what we could steward well.
  • 00:09:53.288 --> 00:09:56.191
  • Now, god will allow situations
  • 00:09:56.191 --> 00:09:57.726
  • In your life to be more than you can handle,
  • 00:09:57.726 --> 00:09:59.895
  • To rely on his strength.
  • 00:09:59.895 --> 00:10:02.731
  • But there's a revelation here
  • 00:10:02.731 --> 00:10:03.732
  • I want to i want to show you that.
  • 00:10:03.732 --> 00:10:04.900
  • Here's the reason why
  • 00:10:04.900 --> 00:10:07.136
  • I believe sometimes we hold back on really trusting god.
  • 00:10:07.136 --> 00:10:10.039
  • Let's keep reading matthew 25, verse 16 to 18.
  • 00:10:10.039 --> 00:10:13.075
  • It stated this the servant who received
  • 00:10:13.075 --> 00:10:14.677
  • The five bags of silver began to invest the money.
  • 00:10:14.677 --> 00:10:16.645
  • So immediately
  • 00:10:16.645 --> 00:10:18.180
  • The lord placed it in his hands
  • 00:10:18.180 --> 00:10:19.348
  • And immediately started to invest it.
  • 00:10:19.348 --> 00:10:21.583
  • Okay, he earned five more.
  • 00:10:21.583 --> 00:10:23.252
  • The servant with two bags of silver
  • 00:10:23.252 --> 00:10:24.987
  • Also went to work and he earned two more.
  • 00:10:24.987 --> 00:10:26.789
  • Immediately going obedience is following the lord,
  • 00:10:26.789 --> 00:10:30.592
  • But the servant who received the one bag of silver
  • 00:10:30.592 --> 00:10:33.896
  • Dug a hole in the ground,
  • 00:10:34.463 --> 00:10:36.799
  • And he hid his master's money.
  • 00:10:36.799 --> 00:10:39.835
  • Let me word it like this.
  • 00:10:39.835 --> 00:10:40.936
  • But god placed in his life, he dug it in the ground
  • 00:10:40.936 --> 00:10:44.473
  • And he buried it.
  • 00:10:44.907 --> 00:10:45.941
  • You only bury things that you believe are dead.
  • 00:10:45.941 --> 00:10:49.111
  • You bury things
  • 00:10:49.478 --> 00:10:51.280
  • That you think you don't need.
  • 00:10:51.280 --> 00:10:53.916
  • And i believe that he was afraid
  • 00:10:53.916 --> 00:10:56.318
  • To trust the master and fear.
  • 00:10:56.318 --> 00:10:58.620
  • Listen to me.
  • 00:10:58.620 --> 00:10:59.321
  • Fear will
  • 00:10:59.321 --> 00:11:00.556
  • Always cause you to bury what god has called you to build.
  • 00:11:00.556 --> 00:11:03.125
  • That was a good idea. but.
  • 00:11:03.692 --> 00:11:07.696
  • Won't work for me.
  • 00:11:08.130 --> 00:11:10.299
  • I love the biblical truth, but.
  • 00:11:10.299 --> 00:11:14.002
  • I'm buried in the ground.
  • 00:11:14.570 --> 00:11:16.538
  • Literally.
  • 00:11:16.538 --> 00:11:17.506
  • It's like opening your hands with everything
  • 00:11:17.506 --> 00:11:18.774
  • The lord has given you
  • 00:11:18.774 --> 00:11:19.875
  • And throwing it to the ground and saying goodbye.
  • 00:11:19.875 --> 00:11:23.212
  • And god wants you to use it for his kingdom.
  • 00:11:24.146 --> 00:11:26.582
  • So let's look again at the story here.
  • 00:11:26.582 --> 00:11:27.883
  • The master returns.
  • 00:11:27.883 --> 00:11:28.851
  • The servant who had the five bags or five
  • 00:11:28.851 --> 00:11:30.018
  • More gave it to him.
  • 00:11:30.018 --> 00:11:31.587
  • The servant who had two bags and two more gave it to him.
  • 00:11:31.587 --> 00:11:33.856
  • Immediately they went to work because they trusted the master.
  • 00:11:33.856 --> 00:11:36.391
  • Now listen to verse 23.
  • 00:11:36.391 --> 00:11:38.160
  • Notice if you if you've heard this before.
  • 00:11:38.160 --> 00:11:40.429
  • Well done, my good and faithful servant.
  • 00:11:40.429 --> 00:11:44.666
  • I pray that all of us here, that
  • 00:11:45.300 --> 00:11:47.102
  • One day before the kingdom of god,
  • 00:11:47.102 --> 00:11:49.605
  • Or the in the kingdom of heaven before jesus,
  • 00:11:49.605 --> 00:11:51.940
  • You have been faithful.
  • 00:11:51.940 --> 00:11:53.142
  • Now listen to this faithful and handling the small amount.
  • 00:11:53.142 --> 00:11:56.278
  • Listen to what god calls for
  • 00:11:56.879 --> 00:11:59.915
  • A million,
  • 00:11:59.915 --> 00:12:01.617
  • 5 million, 2 million.
  • 00:12:01.617 --> 00:12:04.686
  • So small.
  • 00:12:04.987 --> 00:12:06.855
  • God didn't need your money.
  • 00:12:06.855 --> 00:12:08.390
  • He made everything he can make anything
  • 00:12:08.390 --> 00:12:12.294
  • But listen to what he says here.
  • 00:12:12.928 --> 00:12:13.996
  • So now i will give you many more responsibilities.
  • 00:12:13.996 --> 00:12:17.666
  • Let's celebrate together.
  • 00:12:17.666 --> 00:12:19.802
  • You know what i love about god?
  • 00:12:19.802 --> 00:12:20.969
  • He's fun,
  • 00:12:20.969 --> 00:12:22.771
  • He said. let's celebrate.
  • 00:12:22.771 --> 00:12:24.573
  • You get more money. why?
  • 00:12:24.573 --> 00:12:26.909
  • Because i can trust you with it.
  • 00:12:26.909 --> 00:12:29.578
  • It's not that you're worshiping these possessions.
  • 00:12:29.578 --> 00:12:31.547
  • It doesn't make your identity. it doesn't fulfill your life.
  • 00:12:31.547 --> 00:12:34.383
  • But you're using it for my kingdom.
  • 00:12:34.383 --> 00:12:36.318
  • So let's celebrate together,
  • 00:12:36.318 --> 00:12:37.653
  • Because lives will be changed for all eternity now.
  • 00:12:37.653 --> 00:12:41.256
  • And in the kingdom of heaven, you will see
  • 00:12:41.256 --> 00:12:43.025
  • With your investments we're able to do
  • 00:12:43.025 --> 00:12:45.360
  • How they were able to impact people's lives forever,
  • 00:12:45.360 --> 00:12:49.164
  • To impact their lives forever.
  • 00:12:49.765 --> 00:12:52.134
  • So let's celebrate.
  • 00:12:52.134 --> 00:12:53.769
  • But that one servant,
  • 00:12:53.769 --> 00:12:56.371
  • He speaks a different language.
  • 00:12:57.005 --> 00:12:58.340
  • I want you to.
  • 00:12:58.340 --> 00:12:59.174
  • I want you to listen to the language
  • 00:12:59.174 --> 00:13:00.142
  • That comes out of his mouth.
  • 00:13:00.142 --> 00:13:01.176
  • Verse 24,
  • 00:13:01.176 --> 00:13:02.211
  • Then the servant with the one bag of silver came
  • 00:13:02.211 --> 00:13:03.879
  • And said, master, i knew you were a harsh man.
  • 00:13:03.879 --> 00:13:09.017
  • Nobody else said that.
  • 00:13:09.484 --> 00:13:12.221
  • You know, that sounds like to me it sounds arrogant
  • 00:13:12.221 --> 00:13:15.557
  • Assumptions.
  • 00:13:15.557 --> 00:13:18.126
  • The thing is, he doesn't know the master at all.
  • 00:13:18.126 --> 00:13:21.196
  • But he comes up, acts like he knows better, and says,
  • 00:13:21.196 --> 00:13:24.032
  • I know that you are a harsh man.
  • 00:13:24.032 --> 00:13:25.801
  • You don't know the master at all.
  • 00:13:25.801 --> 00:13:28.670
  • You don't know his character.
  • 00:13:28.670 --> 00:13:30.973
  • You don't want to trust him.
  • 00:13:30.973 --> 00:13:32.641
  • Verse 25 and 26 and then he says it out loud.
  • 00:13:32.641 --> 00:13:34.877
  • He says, i was afraid.
  • 00:13:34.877 --> 00:13:36.845
  • It's all about fear.
  • 00:13:36.845 --> 00:13:39.181
  • I was afraid i would lose your money.
  • 00:13:39.181 --> 00:13:41.717
  • I was afraid
  • 00:13:41.717 --> 00:13:42.851
  • I would make a mistake with what you placed in my hands.
  • 00:13:42.851 --> 00:13:45.220
  • I was afraid that i would fail you.
  • 00:13:45.220 --> 00:13:47.089
  • So you know what? i just didn't try.
  • 00:13:47.089 --> 00:13:49.391
  • I didn't want to try.
  • 00:13:49.892 --> 00:13:50.792
  • I didn't wanna put myself out there.
  • 00:13:50.792 --> 00:13:52.294
  • I just took what you gave me and buried it in the ground.
  • 00:13:52.294 --> 00:13:56.398
  • Here's your money back that i hid.
  • 00:13:56.398 --> 00:13:59.234
  • Let me say it in different ways.
  • 00:13:59.234 --> 00:14:00.302
  • Here's a tally that you gave me. god. here you go.
  • 00:14:00.302 --> 00:14:02.337
  • Take it back. i'm not going to use it for you.
  • 00:14:02.337 --> 00:14:04.873
  • The business that you gave me.
  • 00:14:04.873 --> 00:14:05.974
  • God, take it back. the family that you gave me.
  • 00:14:05.974 --> 00:14:08.810
  • Take it.
  • 00:14:08.810 --> 00:14:09.678
  • I don't care anymore.
  • 00:14:09.678 --> 00:14:10.746
  • That's the attitude of despair.
  • 00:14:10.746 --> 00:14:13.081
  • That's what it means to bury it in the ground.
  • 00:14:13.081 --> 00:14:14.950
  • Look, here is your money back.
  • 00:14:14.950 --> 00:14:16.418
  • But the master replied, you wicked and lazy servant,
  • 00:14:16.418 --> 00:14:20.155
  • Verse 27 through 29.
  • 00:14:20.622 --> 00:14:22.391
  • Why didn't you deposit my money in the bank?
  • 00:14:22.391 --> 00:14:24.593
  • At least i could have gotten some interest on it.
  • 00:14:24.593 --> 00:14:26.995
  • What god is saying is this why didn't you even try?
  • 00:14:26.995 --> 00:14:30.732
  • How come you never walk by obedience?
  • 00:14:31.533 --> 00:14:33.268
  • You never even saw what i could do in your life.
  • 00:14:33.268 --> 00:14:36.571
  • You just buried it and wasted it.
  • 00:14:37.306 --> 00:14:38.874
  • And you believe the lies of the devil.
  • 00:14:38.874 --> 00:14:40.242
  • You believe the lies of your own flesh.
  • 00:14:40.242 --> 00:14:42.044
  • And you never trusted me.
  • 00:14:42.044 --> 00:14:45.514
  • Why didn't you just deposit what i gave you?
  • 00:14:45.514 --> 00:14:48.750
  • Let it grow. that had impact.
  • 00:14:48.750 --> 00:14:50.852
  • And then he ordered. now listen to this.
  • 00:14:50.852 --> 00:14:52.054
  • Take the money from the servant
  • 00:14:52.054 --> 00:14:53.956
  • And give it to the one with the ten bags of silver.
  • 00:14:53.956 --> 00:14:57.459
  • Who? the one who is able to handle it well, to those who use
  • 00:14:57.459 --> 00:15:00.729
  • Well what they are given here it is.
  • 00:15:00.729 --> 00:15:02.731
  • Even more will be given.
  • 00:15:02.731 --> 00:15:05.400
  • And they will have an abundance.
  • 00:15:05.400 --> 00:15:09.972
  • You want more?
  • 00:15:10.305 --> 00:15:10.906
  • You're praying for more.
  • 00:15:10.906 --> 00:15:13.275
  • Then be thankful for what you have now.
  • 00:15:13.275 --> 00:15:15.911
  • Because how can you ask for so much more
  • 00:15:16.712 --> 00:15:18.547
  • If you're not even thankful for the little that you have?
  • 00:15:18.547 --> 00:15:22.250
  • God is testing you
  • 00:15:22.684 --> 00:15:24.853
  • And he's testing me.
  • 00:15:24.853 --> 00:15:27.255
  • It's a test. when god places
  • 00:15:27.255 --> 00:15:28.590
  • Something in your hands on how you steward it,
  • 00:15:28.590 --> 00:15:31.593
  • Listen to this.
  • 00:15:31.593 --> 00:15:32.294
  • But for those who do nothing,
  • 00:15:32.294 --> 00:15:35.063
  • Even what little they have
  • 00:15:35.063 --> 00:15:37.232
  • Will be taken away.
  • 00:15:37.232 --> 00:15:40.736
  • I just want you to hear that
  • 00:15:41.336 --> 00:15:43.872
  • You know why?
  • 00:15:43.872 --> 00:15:44.806
  • It's not that god is being mean. you.
  • 00:15:44.806 --> 00:15:46.308
  • I think we just.
  • 00:15:46.308 --> 00:15:48.610
  • We. we use what god has given us for worthless things.
  • 00:15:48.610 --> 00:15:52.581
  • So many times.
  • 00:15:52.914 --> 00:15:53.849
  • We're trying to keep up with other people
  • 00:15:53.849 --> 00:15:54.850
  • Because we're comparing ourselves with others.
  • 00:15:54.850 --> 00:15:56.551
  • Have we've literally, literally spent so much money.
  • 00:15:56.551 --> 00:15:59.521
  • We place ourself in debt with cards that we can't pay back.
  • 00:15:59.521 --> 00:16:02.657
  • And the very things that god has given us,
  • 00:16:03.558 --> 00:16:05.127
  • We have just given it away for clothes
  • 00:16:05.127 --> 00:16:06.995
  • That will get old within a week or a month.
  • 00:16:06.995 --> 00:16:10.699
  • And so let me ask you a real question.
  • 00:16:11.533 --> 00:16:12.701
  • Is that that these things in your life are bad?
  • 00:16:12.701 --> 00:16:14.603
  • I'm not saying that the cars are bad.
  • 00:16:14.603 --> 00:16:15.871
  • The house is not bad. the clothes are not bad.
  • 00:16:15.871 --> 00:16:17.372
  • All these things are still good.
  • 00:16:17.372 --> 00:16:18.640
  • Every good gift comes from above.
  • 00:16:18.640 --> 00:16:20.242
  • But don't worship these things.
  • 00:16:20.242 --> 00:16:23.378
  • Your identity, your happiness,
  • 00:16:23.378 --> 00:16:25.147
  • Your fulfillment cannot come from these things.
  • 00:16:25.147 --> 00:16:28.283
  • That's what i'm saying.
  • 00:16:28.784 --> 00:16:29.684
  • Jesus has to be first.
  • 00:16:29.684 --> 00:16:31.253
  • Your identity comes from christ, not the things you wear
  • 00:16:31.253 --> 00:16:34.656
  • Or can afford.
  • 00:16:34.990 --> 00:16:38.293
  • But the first words out of his mouth reveal the real issue.
  • 00:16:38.293 --> 00:16:40.495
  • He says, i was afraid he didn't say i was unprepared.
  • 00:16:40.495 --> 00:16:44.466
  • He didn't say i was unskilled.
  • 00:16:45.067 --> 00:16:46.535
  • I didn't have what i needed. oh, he says, i'm afraid.
  • 00:16:46.535 --> 00:16:49.604
  • I'm afraid i will fail.
  • 00:16:50.105 --> 00:16:51.139
  • So i just didn't try at all.
  • 00:16:51.139 --> 00:16:53.675
  • Fear exposes what you really believe about god,
  • 00:16:53.675 --> 00:16:58.213
  • And trial in your life will expose where your faith is.
  • 00:16:59.247 --> 00:17:01.983
  • But fear can expose
  • 00:17:01.983 --> 00:17:04.453
  • What you really believe about god.
  • 00:17:04.453 --> 00:17:07.456
  • And so my last point is this here's a, i pray, a revelation
  • 00:17:07.456 --> 00:17:10.692
  • That would change your mindset on some things today.
  • 00:17:10.692 --> 00:17:12.527
  • If you're struggling with this, the problem wasn't the master.
  • 00:17:12.527 --> 00:17:16.398
  • The problem was his view of the master.
  • 00:17:17.265 --> 00:17:20.569
  • The problem is not god.
  • 00:17:21.069 --> 00:17:24.106
  • The problem is not that jesus doesn't show up for you
  • 00:17:24.106 --> 00:17:26.842
  • The way that you want him to show up for
  • 00:17:26.842 --> 00:17:28.710
  • You know, the problem is your view of jesus.
  • 00:17:28.710 --> 00:17:31.746
  • The problem can be our view of even the church
  • 00:17:32.714 --> 00:17:35.617
  • When it comes to this.
  • 00:17:35.617 --> 00:17:37.185
  • Because again, what did he say?
  • 00:17:37.819 --> 00:17:38.854
  • Since i know that you are a
  • 00:17:38.854 --> 00:17:40.021
  • Harsh man, but he didn't know the master at all,
  • 00:17:40.021 --> 00:17:43.358
  • He thought he did.
  • 00:17:43.792 --> 00:17:45.694
  • And this is where a lot of us are today.
  • 00:17:45.694 --> 00:17:47.262
  • All right, i'll give.
  • 00:17:47.262 --> 00:17:48.096
  • But god is going to leave me
  • 00:17:48.096 --> 00:17:49.064
  • With nothing because that's all i'm used to.
  • 00:17:49.064 --> 00:17:52.901
  • I step out by faith, but that's probably going to go bad.
  • 00:17:52.901 --> 00:17:55.770
  • So why even try?
  • 00:17:55.770 --> 00:17:59.141
  • I would give,
  • 00:17:59.508 --> 00:18:01.776
  • But i don't trust anybody.
  • 00:18:01.776 --> 00:18:05.247
  • I don't trust anyone.
  • 00:18:05.247 --> 00:18:06.081
  • How can i trust the church?
  • 00:18:06.081 --> 00:18:08.917
  • How can i even trust god in this situation?
  • 00:18:08.917 --> 00:18:10.886
  • You know? and again,
  • 00:18:10.886 --> 00:18:13.321
  • I get it, i get it, and i see culture and i see
  • 00:18:13.321 --> 00:18:16.124
  • I see social media right now attacking,
  • 00:18:16.124 --> 00:18:18.960
  • Giving to a church in general.
  • 00:18:18.960 --> 00:18:20.428
  • I believe satan would love to defund the church.
  • 00:18:20.428 --> 00:18:25.934
  • Because then you can
  • 00:18:26.401 --> 00:18:27.369
  • Impact let me let me just make you aware.
  • 00:18:27.369 --> 00:18:30.238
  • It does.
  • 00:18:30.505 --> 00:18:31.406
  • It takes a lot of finances to add space
  • 00:18:31.406 --> 00:18:34.709
  • To impact, to build,
  • 00:18:35.177 --> 00:18:37.612
  • To provide for those that are in need to provide
  • 00:18:37.612 --> 00:18:40.348
  • Groceries, to help children in need.
  • 00:18:40.348 --> 00:18:42.150
  • When it comes to christmas, it it takes a lot of finances to go
  • 00:18:42.150 --> 00:18:45.954
  • With staff
  • 00:18:45.954 --> 00:18:47.122
  • For the counseling hours that it takes with the ministry
  • 00:18:47.122 --> 00:18:50.425
  • For people who are going through suicidal thoughts
  • 00:18:50.425 --> 00:18:53.161
  • And depression, it's too much on one pastor to handle.
  • 00:18:53.161 --> 00:18:58.099
  • It's too much on just a few pastors to handle.
  • 00:18:59.067 --> 00:19:01.303
  • Like, it takes a lot of resources,
  • 00:19:01.303 --> 00:19:03.038
  • But god is doing something special,
  • 00:19:03.038 --> 00:19:05.273
  • Not just in this church with many of his churches right now.
  • 00:19:05.273 --> 00:19:08.510
  • And i need you to understand this.
  • 00:19:08.510 --> 00:19:09.678
  • The church grows and reaches even more.
  • 00:19:09.678 --> 00:19:11.880
  • That's when satan attacks.
  • 00:19:11.880 --> 00:19:13.582
  • He even more as well comes after the church comes
  • 00:19:13.582 --> 00:19:16.484
  • After the culture
  • 00:19:16.484 --> 00:19:18.119
  • Comes after your faith.
  • 00:19:18.620 --> 00:19:19.688
  • On trusting churches, on giving the churches.
  • 00:19:19.688 --> 00:19:22.290
  • I'm serving with churches, but let us make some noise
  • 00:19:22.290 --> 00:19:25.327
  • And make heaven crowded and shake the foundations of hell.
  • 00:19:25.327 --> 00:19:29.130
  • My god is still in control
  • 00:19:29.130 --> 00:19:31.266
  • For me when i struggle with giving. here's the thing.
  • 00:19:31.266 --> 00:19:33.535
  • I just had to come to the realization god,
  • 00:19:33.535 --> 00:19:35.604
  • I'm doing this because you told me to do it.
  • 00:19:35.604 --> 00:19:37.439
  • It's only 10% of what i have.
  • 00:19:37.439 --> 00:19:39.274
  • I owe you so much more.
  • 00:19:39.274 --> 00:19:42.043
  • I owe you so much more. god,
  • 00:19:42.043 --> 00:19:45.413
  • I give it to god.
  • 00:19:45.847 --> 00:19:48.183
  • I give it to him
  • 00:19:48.183 --> 00:19:50.552
  • Because it's already his.
  • 00:19:50.552 --> 00:19:53.822
  • It doesn't belong to a person, doesn't belong to anybody else.
  • 00:19:53.822 --> 00:19:55.890
  • It belongs to him.
  • 00:19:55.890 --> 00:19:57.659
  • And to me, it's the minimum requirement.
  • 00:19:57.659 --> 00:20:00.695
  • And god could do whatever he wants with it.
  • 00:20:01.630 --> 00:20:05.000
  • But here's what i know.
  • 00:20:05.500 --> 00:20:06.401
  • Fear is lying to you about who jesus is.
  • 00:20:06.401 --> 00:20:10.171
  • If you're having a hard time trusting on just
  • 00:20:10.171 --> 00:20:12.907
  • Trusting god in your life.
  • 00:20:12.907 --> 00:20:14.209
  • And i'm not even talking
  • 00:20:14.209 --> 00:20:15.310
  • About finances now, i'm talking about everything.
  • 00:20:15.310 --> 00:20:17.946
  • Your relationships, walking by faith,
  • 00:20:17.946 --> 00:20:21.716
  • Praying for people, just doing things outside
  • 00:20:21.716 --> 00:20:23.818
  • Of your comfort zone.
  • 00:20:23.818 --> 00:20:24.919
  • Here's the thing god is loving. jesus is loving.
  • 00:20:24.919 --> 00:20:27.222
  • Is that harsh?
  • 00:20:27.222 --> 00:20:28.823
  • Matthew 11 2830 said, come to me,
  • 00:20:28.823 --> 00:20:31.092
  • All of you who are tired
  • 00:20:31.092 --> 00:20:34.129
  • Is that you,
  • 00:20:34.462 --> 00:20:36.564
  • All of you
  • 00:20:36.564 --> 00:20:37.065
  • Who have heavy burdens
  • 00:20:37.065 --> 00:20:38.099
  • And have been forced to carry
  • 00:20:38.099 --> 00:20:39.334
  • Because this world puts a lot of weight on you,
  • 00:20:39.334 --> 00:20:42.304
  • A lot of heaviness in your life.
  • 00:20:42.304 --> 00:20:45.440
  • It says, accept my teaching and learn from me.
  • 00:20:45.440 --> 00:20:47.275
  • I'm gentle and humble in spirit.
  • 00:20:47.275 --> 00:20:49.144
  • Jesus didn't have to say that, but he did.
  • 00:20:50.011 --> 00:20:52.881
  • You want to talk about trust?
  • 00:20:52.881 --> 00:20:54.015
  • Listen to this second timothy chapter two, verse 13.
  • 00:20:54.015 --> 00:20:56.551
  • If we are unfaithful, he remains.
  • 00:20:56.551 --> 00:21:00.121
  • He remains faithful.
  • 00:21:00.588 --> 00:21:02.791
  • Even when we mess up.
  • 00:21:02.791 --> 00:21:04.993
  • He never will.
  • 00:21:04.993 --> 00:21:07.262
  • Even when we give up, at times he never will.
  • 00:21:07.262 --> 00:21:09.764
  • For he cannot deny who he is.
  • 00:21:09.764 --> 00:21:13.134
  • We cannot bury what god has placed at our hands.
  • 00:21:13.134 --> 00:21:17.138
  • Because when you hide it, you declare
  • 00:21:17.972 --> 00:21:19.741
  • That it's worthless.
  • 00:21:19.741 --> 00:21:22.844
  • I don't know, step out by faith,
  • 00:21:23.478 --> 00:21:26.648
  • Risk something.
  • 00:21:26.648 --> 00:21:29.484
  • So many of us are on this pursuit of happiness.
  • 00:21:29.484 --> 00:21:32.087
  • We don't even know what that is.
  • 00:21:32.087 --> 00:21:33.121
  • And happiness fades.
  • 00:21:33.121 --> 00:21:35.890
  • So many of us are living the lives
  • 00:21:35.890 --> 00:21:38.026
  • Based off of how we want to live them.
  • 00:21:38.026 --> 00:21:39.527
  • And guess what? you're still not happy.
  • 00:21:39.527 --> 00:21:41.262
  • Why? because joy comes from above.
  • 00:21:42.030 --> 00:21:45.300
  • It's not happiness or searching for joy.
  • 00:21:45.300 --> 00:21:48.503
  • It's this gift from the holy spirit
  • 00:21:48.503 --> 00:21:50.071
  • That only comes from above.
  • 00:21:50.071 --> 00:21:51.639
  • Instead of burying it, use it to lift god up,
  • 00:21:51.639 --> 00:21:54.809
  • Use it, give it, and steward it.
  • 00:21:55.443 --> 00:21:58.380
  • That's what we will do as a church.
  • 00:21:58.380 --> 00:22:00.882

  • If it wasn't bigger than you, it didn't come from god.
  • 00:22:41.089 --> 00:22:43.391
  • But it's holding your hand along the way.

  • We would love for you to plan and be here with us.
  • 00:25:27.488 --> 00:25:30.358
  • And if you want to look into more details
  • 00:25:30.358 --> 00:25:32.727
  • Over the conference,
  • 00:25:32.727 --> 00:25:33.695
  • All you have to do is click the link below.
  • 00:25:33.695 --> 00:25:35.463
  • In fact, here's a recap video to show you what all god did.
  • 00:25:35.463 --> 00:25:39.233
  • We have and we.
  • 00:25:39.601 --> 00:25:46.808
  • Need.
  • 00:25:47.041 --> 00:26:03.391
  • And the
  • 00:26:03.625 --> 00:26:04.425
  • Reason i even bring it up tonight
  • 00:26:04.425 --> 00:26:07.362
  • Is because when it comes to you knowing jesus, the man,
  • 00:26:07.362 --> 00:26:12.100
  • The gospel message is all about
  • 00:26:12.100 --> 00:26:15.069
  • Your understanding of the message about the man
  • 00:26:15.069 --> 00:26:19.340
  • Who inform your methods of getting to know the man.
  • 00:26:19.340 --> 00:26:52.540
  • That this job doesn't work out for me.
  • 00:26:53.374 --> 00:26:55.810
  • What if i move my life by faith and it all just
  • 00:26:55.810 --> 00:26:59.681
  • Crumbles to the ground? what if it works?
  • 00:26:59.681 --> 00:27:02.450
  • What if god shows up and changes your life forever?
  • 00:27:02.450 --> 00:27:05.353
  • But i would rather move by faith
  • 00:27:05.353 --> 00:27:07.188
  • And even fail and fail and fail and know that i follow god.
  • 00:27:07.188 --> 00:27:11.059
  • And i ended up exactly where i needed to be.
  • 00:27:11.059 --> 00:27:43.658
  • You know what today is
  • 00:27:44.125 --> 00:27:46.160
  • Pentecost sunday.
  • 00:27:46.160 --> 00:27:49.330
  • Pentecost sunday.
  • 00:27:49.764 --> 00:27:53.000
  • Woo! you better
  • 00:27:53.367 --> 00:27:55.369
  • Not ask a holy ghost preacher to preach on pentecost sunday.
  • 00:27:55.369 --> 00:27:59.140
  • I came here to remind you
  • 00:27:59.707 --> 00:28:01.476
