Bobby Chandler: Authentic Church | Bobby Chandler - When God Steps In, Peace Follows (Part 1) | June 10, 2026

You're not the same person.
00:00:03.925 --> 00:00:05.326
And what i'm going to do through you, if you believe me,
00:00:05.326 --> 00:00:07.962
If you walk faithfully,
00:00:07.962 --> 00:00:09.330
Then i'm going to free my people through you.
00:00:09.330 --> 00:00:12.434
Some of you right now, you don't want to go back,
00:00:12.434 --> 00:00:14.536
But god's going to bring you back to save people.
00:00:14.536 --> 00:00:17.672
I've been praying that god meets you tonight.
00:00:18.540 --> 00:00:20.241
I've been praying that god would encounter
00:00:20.241 --> 00:00:23.812
Having a counter with you, that his presence
00:00:23.812 --> 00:00:26.047
Can change your heart.
00:00:26.047 --> 00:00:27.282
Because i know what it's like to feel lost.
00:00:27.282 --> 00:00:31.086
I know what it's like to feel like god.
00:00:31.086 --> 00:00:32.821
I don't know where i'm going in life for what the future holds.
00:00:32.821 --> 00:00:35.623
And i'm here to tell you today
00:00:35.623 --> 00:00:36.925
That god has a plan and he has a plan just for you.
00:00:36.925 --> 00:00:40.228
And again, i want to say this.
00:00:40.228 --> 00:00:41.729
It's not by accident that you're here tonight.
00:00:41.729 --> 00:00:44.632
There's a word that can change you
00:00:44.632 --> 00:00:46.534
If you're willing to receive it,
00:00:46.534 --> 00:00:48.403
If you're willing to receive
00:00:48.403 --> 00:00:49.971
Everything that the lord has for you.
00:00:49.971 --> 00:00:52.073
And so i also want to say this.
00:00:52.073 --> 00:00:53.374
I want to say thank you to everybody
00:00:53.374 --> 00:00:54.542
That's watching online today.
00:00:54.542 --> 00:00:56.144
We have people watching from all over the world.
00:00:56.144 --> 00:00:58.713
And the fact that you would join us for christmas,
00:00:58.713 --> 00:01:00.949
That is very special to us.
00:01:00.949 --> 00:01:02.684
You are special to us. so thank you.
00:01:02.684 --> 00:01:05.253
And if you're new online,
00:01:05.253 --> 00:01:06.321
Make sure to tell us where you're watching from.
00:01:06.321 --> 00:01:09.891
But tonight,
00:01:10.225 --> 00:01:11.659
What i'm excited about,
00:01:11.659 --> 00:01:12.760
Because we're not only celebrating a miraculous birth,
00:01:12.760 --> 00:01:15.663
The miraculous birth of the son of god being born.
00:01:15.663 --> 00:01:19.367
We're celebrating a savior
00:01:19.934 --> 00:01:23.071
That came into a messed up, broken world.
00:01:23.071 --> 00:01:27.008
And he knows you by name.
00:01:27.008 --> 00:01:29.177
And he came to bring salvation to the entire world.
00:01:29.177 --> 00:01:33.214
And that's not just me saying that.
00:01:33.214 --> 00:01:34.849
Like that's what the bible says.
00:01:34.849 --> 00:01:37.452
John chapter three, verse 17 states it like this.
00:01:37.452 --> 00:01:40.855
In the passion translation,
00:01:40.855 --> 00:01:42.590
God did not send his son into the world
00:01:42.590 --> 00:01:45.827
To judge and condemn the world, but to what
00:01:45.827 --> 00:01:48.830
But to be its savior and to rescue it.
00:01:48.830 --> 00:01:53.935
Isaiah even prophesied.
00:01:53.935 --> 00:01:55.970
The prophet isaiah prophesied about 700 years
00:01:55.970 --> 00:01:59.674
Before the birth of christ, that jesus would come as a child.
00:01:59.674 --> 00:02:04.979
Isaiah chapter nine, verse six and seven.
00:02:04.979 --> 00:02:07.882
I love this verse.
00:02:07.882 --> 00:02:09.617
For a child is born to us, a son is given to us.
00:02:09.617 --> 00:02:14.589
And listen to this.
00:02:14.589 --> 00:02:15.823
The government will rest on his shoulders
00:02:15.823 --> 00:02:18.193
And he will be called wonderful counselor,
00:02:18.193 --> 00:02:22.297
Mighty god, everlasting father, and the prince of peace.
00:02:22.297 --> 00:02:27.535
He is in control of all things.
00:02:28.169 --> 00:02:30.572
His government and its peace. it will never end.
00:02:30.572 --> 00:02:33.341
Did you hear that?
00:02:33.341 --> 00:02:34.943
His government,
00:02:34.943 --> 00:02:36.110
His rule, his authority, and the peace that he came to
00:02:36.110 --> 00:02:39.614
Bring you. it will never end.
00:02:39.614 --> 00:02:42.450
The devil can't take that away from you.
00:02:42.450 --> 00:02:44.886
Life's trials can't take that away from you.
00:02:44.886 --> 00:02:47.055
Jesus has a plan.
00:02:47.055 --> 00:02:48.690
He came to rescue you and to bring you peace.
00:02:48.690 --> 00:02:52.026
If you were to be honest tonight, raise your hand.
00:02:52.026 --> 00:02:54.028
If you need some peace in your life,
00:02:54.028 --> 00:02:56.464
Some peace of mind.
00:02:56.464 --> 00:02:57.498
Because some people around this time of the year
00:02:57.498 --> 00:02:59.901
Might be driving you crazy.
00:02:59.901 --> 00:03:01.903
You can see another spirit come out.
00:03:01.903 --> 00:03:03.304
You know what i mean? like this.
00:03:03.304 --> 00:03:04.606
You gotta pray, right?
00:03:04.606 --> 00:03:06.708
But he will be in control
00:03:06.708 --> 00:03:08.309
Of all things, and he brings his peace.
00:03:08.309 --> 00:03:09.911
It would ever end, and he will rule with fairness and justice
00:03:09.911 --> 00:03:13.982
From the throne of his ancestor david for all eternity.
00:03:13.982 --> 00:03:17.885
So again, god has a plan for you
00:03:17.885 --> 00:03:20.888
To save you from the misery
00:03:21.489 --> 00:03:22.790
Of this world and the brokenness that we see around us.
00:03:22.790 --> 00:03:26.094
And so i prayed about the title, and here's the title.
00:03:26.094 --> 00:03:29.097
The title was this let god handle it.
00:03:29.097 --> 00:03:32.400
Let god handle it,
00:03:32.834 --> 00:03:34.002
Whatever it is that you're going through right now.
00:03:34.002 --> 00:03:35.470
And maybe you're saying, pastor,
00:03:35.470 --> 00:03:36.738
You don't understand what i'm dealing with, i don't.
00:03:36.738 --> 00:03:39.707
But guess who does?
00:03:39.707 --> 00:03:41.309
God knows exactly what you're going through.
00:03:41.309 --> 00:03:43.511
And i believe that the christmas
00:03:43.511 --> 00:03:44.779
Story reminds us that no matter what is going on in life,
00:03:44.779 --> 00:03:48.216
Whatever delays that are in your life,
00:03:48.983 --> 00:03:50.785
Whatever trials that you're facing, god still has a plan.
00:03:50.785 --> 00:03:54.222
And he's got promises that he's spoken over you.
00:03:54.222 --> 00:03:56.891
Because jesus not only came to save the entire world,
00:03:56.891 --> 00:04:00.161
For whoever believes in him shall not perish
00:04:00.161 --> 00:04:02.664
But have eternal life.
00:04:02.664 --> 00:04:04.766
But jesus also came, listen to this to defeat the devil.
00:04:04.766 --> 00:04:08.603
You excited about that?
00:04:09.103 --> 00:04:10.938
We get you hear about that?
00:04:10.938 --> 00:04:12.607
The devil's been messing with you.
00:04:12.607 --> 00:04:15.243
Devil's been messing with your family.
00:04:15.243 --> 00:04:17.412
The devil's been messing
00:04:17.412 --> 00:04:18.346
With your well-being, your mind, everything.
00:04:18.346 --> 00:04:21.049
Jesus came to handle the devil.
00:04:21.049 --> 00:04:23.251
And i
00:04:23.251 --> 00:04:24.352
Think it's kind of interesting and yet a little funny,
00:04:24.352 --> 00:04:27.255
Because it really shows us the authority and the power of god.
00:04:27.255 --> 00:04:31.492
Right?
00:04:31.492 --> 00:04:32.694
Because satan and his demons were just waiting for jesus to
00:04:32.694 --> 00:04:36.497
Show up.
00:04:36.497 --> 00:04:37.432
And i want you to think about it like this.
00:04:37.432 --> 00:04:38.466
Like god intimidates heaven or god intimidates hell
00:04:38.466 --> 00:04:41.903
By sending jesus not as a warrior in the beginning,
00:04:41.903 --> 00:04:45.773
Not with a sword,
00:04:45.773 --> 00:04:47.041
Not with a physical army around him, but as a way, as a baby.
00:04:47.041 --> 00:04:51.879
God intimidated hell
00:04:52.347 --> 00:04:54.982
By sending the lamb of god, the son of god as a baby.
00:04:54.982 --> 00:04:59.253
Think about that.
00:04:59.687 --> 00:05:00.922
That shows us that god is always in control instead of a sword.
00:05:00.922 --> 00:05:04.058
He needed a diaper.
00:05:04.058 --> 00:05:06.227
You know what i mean?
00:05:06.227 --> 00:05:07.495
Like, you know, god's got to be laughing at some things.
00:05:07.495 --> 00:05:10.031
God does have a sense of humor, by the way.
00:05:10.031 --> 00:05:11.833
He's not boring.
00:05:11.833 --> 00:05:13.468
But why did god do this?
00:05:13.468 --> 00:05:14.969
Okay, i love this right here
00:05:14.969 --> 00:05:17.405
Because god doesn't win battles the way we expect.
00:05:17.405 --> 00:05:21.542
He wins them the way that he planned.
00:05:21.542 --> 00:05:24.445
Do you understand that god doesn't win battles in our life
00:05:24.445 --> 00:05:27.782
The way that we would expect?
00:05:27.782 --> 00:05:29.016
Because everybody was waiting on jesus christ to come
00:05:29.016 --> 00:05:32.086
As that warrior, as that king.
00:05:32.086 --> 00:05:33.888
But god says, no, no, no, no, he's going to come as a baby
00:05:33.888 --> 00:05:37.225
Because this is my plan and
00:05:37.825 --> 00:05:39.394
This will fulfill the prophecy that's already been spoken.
00:05:39.394 --> 00:05:42.463
And there's a reason behind it.
00:05:42.463 --> 00:05:44.132
Philippians chapter two, verses 6 to 8 states it like this.
00:05:44.132 --> 00:05:48.202
For though he was god, he did not think of equality
00:05:48.202 --> 00:05:51.906
With god as something to cling to.
00:05:51.906 --> 00:05:54.208
Now listen to this.
00:05:54.208 --> 00:05:55.143
And instead he gave up his divine privileges.
00:05:55.143 --> 00:05:59.013
Why would he do that?
00:05:59.013 --> 00:06:00.281
To save you,
00:06:00.281 --> 00:06:02.884
To help you,
00:06:02.884 --> 00:06:05.019
To bring you freedom?
00:06:05.019 --> 00:06:05.953
Because it was the only way.
00:06:05.953 --> 00:06:08.456
And so he gave up his divine
00:06:08.456 --> 00:06:10.258
Privileges, and he took the humble
00:06:10.258 --> 00:06:11.859
Position of a slave and was born as a human being.
00:06:11.859 --> 00:06:16.330
And when he appeared, he appeared in human form.
00:06:16.330 --> 00:06:20.168
And he humbled himself in obedience to god.
00:06:20.168 --> 00:06:22.703
And listen to this.
00:06:22.703 --> 00:06:23.671
He also died a criminals death on the cross.
00:06:23.671 --> 00:06:27.008
This is god's love story to you.
00:06:27.008 --> 00:06:31.779
Don't ever tell
00:06:32.146 --> 00:06:33.247
Yourself that you don't mean anything in this world,
00:06:33.247 --> 00:06:36.617
Because so many times we have lied to ourself
00:06:36.617 --> 00:06:39.086
And we have said, you know what?
00:06:39.086 --> 00:06:40.288
My life is nothing.
00:06:40.288 --> 00:06:41.889
No, the son of god gave his life so that you can live yours
00:06:41.889 --> 00:06:45.326
And freedom
00:06:45.326 --> 00:06:47.028
So that you don't have to live in depression,
00:06:47.028 --> 00:06:49.764
So that you don't have to live in the darkness
00:06:49.764 --> 00:06:51.866
And give up every time you feel like it's overwhelming.
00:06:51.866 --> 00:06:54.669
No, jesus died on the cross and rose from the grave
00:06:54.669 --> 00:06:58.606
Because he had you in mind.
00:06:59.207 --> 00:07:02.243
This was the father's plan.
00:07:02.243 --> 00:07:03.544
So i'm looking at the story
00:07:03.544 --> 00:07:04.846
Here, and i just want you to really think about it,
00:07:04.846 --> 00:07:06.314
Because i know that we've heard it.
00:07:06.314 --> 00:07:08.216
Most of us have heard it all of our lives.
00:07:08.216 --> 00:07:09.817
If you grew up in the church,
00:07:09.817 --> 00:07:11.085
But jesus did not come
00:07:11.085 --> 00:07:13.254
With a crown, jesus did not come and be born in a palace.
00:07:13.254 --> 00:07:17.191
Jesus did not come with a physical army.
00:07:17.191 --> 00:07:19.594
He came as a baby
00:07:19.594 --> 00:07:22.630
And he was born in a manger.
00:07:23.231 --> 00:07:26.133
Luke chapter two, verse six and seven states it like this.
00:07:26.133 --> 00:07:28.669
And while they were there,
00:07:28.669 --> 00:07:31.172
Bethlehem, the time came for the baby
00:07:31.172 --> 00:07:33.374
To be born, and she gave birth to the first born son.
00:07:33.374 --> 00:07:36.844
Now she wrapped him in snugly and strips of cloth,
00:07:36.844 --> 00:07:41.249
And laid him in a in a manger,
00:07:41.249 --> 00:07:44.252
Because there was no lodging available for them at this time.
00:07:44.252 --> 00:07:47.522
Because of the census decree of caesar augustus,
00:07:47.522 --> 00:07:50.691
Everybody was traveling to their hometowns.
00:07:50.691 --> 00:07:52.527
And so bethlehem, a pretty small town, was very full.
00:07:52.527 --> 00:07:56.163
And so imagine the inconvenience.
00:07:56.163 --> 00:07:59.534
Like, think about that for a second.
00:07:59.534 --> 00:08:00.902
How many times
00:08:00.902 --> 00:08:02.103
Have you wrestled and argued with god over inconvenience?
00:08:02.103 --> 00:08:05.106
And here's mary and joseph literally
00:08:05.106 --> 00:08:09.176
Bringing in the child of god, the son of god.
00:08:09.176 --> 00:08:12.346
And still there's an inconvenience.
00:08:12.346 --> 00:08:14.348
Maybe the inconvenience in your life
00:08:14.348 --> 00:08:16.183
Is actually showing you god's power.
00:08:16.183 --> 00:08:19.053
Maybe the inconvenience is actually going to make the story
00:08:19.053 --> 00:08:22.223
More powerful and the testimony reach more.
00:08:22.223 --> 00:08:26.193
Because here we see jesus as a baby being born in a manger.
00:08:26.193 --> 00:08:31.098
What is a manger?
00:08:31.098 --> 00:08:32.700
It's a feeding trough for animals.
00:08:32.700 --> 00:08:36.304
God chose to be born.
00:08:36.804 --> 00:08:39.907
We're animals. eat
00:08:40.341 --> 00:08:43.311
What people overlook
00:08:43.311 --> 00:08:45.546
What many people would think is beneath them. why?
00:08:45.546 --> 00:08:48.749
Why would god do something like that?
00:08:49.550 --> 00:08:51.986
Okay, there's an answer.
00:08:51.986 --> 00:08:53.087
And second corinthians chapter eight, verse nine,
00:08:53.087 --> 00:08:56.257
Listen to this, for you know
00:08:56.257 --> 00:08:58.859
The generous grace of our lord jesus christ.
00:08:58.859 --> 00:09:02.029
Now listen to this.
00:09:02.029 --> 00:09:02.863
Though he was rich,
00:09:02.863 --> 00:09:05.433
Meaning he had power, he had authority.
00:09:05.433 --> 00:09:08.903
Yet for our sakes he became poor,
00:09:08.903 --> 00:09:13.007
So that by his poverty he could make you rich.
00:09:13.007 --> 00:09:19.413
Now, listen, this is not a get rich scripture.
00:09:19.413 --> 00:09:22.650
There are none, by the way.
00:09:22.650 --> 00:09:24.452
Okay?
00:09:24.452 --> 00:09:25.152
I just hate to bust your bubble
00:09:25.152 --> 00:09:26.153
Right there, but there are none.
00:09:26.153 --> 00:09:28.255
But what this is about is jesus's position,
00:09:28.255 --> 00:09:30.825
His power and his authority.
00:09:30.825 --> 00:09:32.660
And this actually means, hey, jesus came to take your place.
00:09:32.660 --> 00:09:36.430
The sin that's been in your life.
00:09:37.164 --> 00:09:38.532
He came to take that away and bring it upon
00:09:38.532 --> 00:09:40.668
Himself, the judgment that you deserve.
00:09:40.668 --> 00:09:42.403
He came to take that upon himself.
00:09:42.403 --> 00:09:44.105
All the sin that you have
00:09:44.105 --> 00:09:45.606
In your life, and all the sin that i have in my life.
00:09:45.606 --> 00:09:49.510
This means that jesus literally stripped away everything,
00:09:49.510 --> 00:09:52.980
Having this glorious state to step into our mess,
00:09:52.980 --> 00:09:57.885
Our mistakes.
00:09:58.252 --> 00:10:00.254
He took our sin, our judgment, everything that we deserve.
00:10:00.254 --> 00:10:03.224
He took our curse.
00:10:03.224 --> 00:10:04.191
And so this scripture right here is not saying
00:10:04.191 --> 00:10:06.293
That he became poor so that you can have more stuff.
00:10:06.293 --> 00:10:09.030
No, he became poor so that you could stand
00:10:09.030 --> 00:10:11.132
Right before god.
00:10:11.132 --> 00:10:14.402
No longer separated by sin
00:10:14.402 --> 00:10:17.805
Because of what jesus christ has done for you.
00:10:17.805 --> 00:10:21.008
And i pray right now.
00:10:21.008 --> 00:10:22.309
I pray that that means something to you
00:10:22.309 --> 00:10:24.979
Because again, i don't know what you've been through.
00:10:24.979 --> 00:10:26.847
I don't know what you're going through right now.
00:10:26.847 --> 00:10:28.949
And some of you probably have really wrestled with the church.
00:10:28.949 --> 00:10:32.386
Maybe you've wrestled with god,
00:10:32.386 --> 00:10:33.888
Maybe you've wrestled it if he's even listening to you.
00:10:33.888 --> 00:10:36.524
But right now, here's an answer.
00:10:36.524 --> 00:10:38.426
He's listening
00:10:38.426 --> 00:10:40.461
And he's speaking directly to you.
00:10:41.228 --> 00:10:43.531
He knows about the mess
00:10:43.531 --> 00:10:45.266
That is in your life and he still came to save you.
00:10:45.266 --> 00:10:48.669
For jesus is god.
00:10:49.103 --> 00:10:52.473
Colossians chapter one, verse 16 and 17 for through him
00:10:52.473 --> 00:10:55.643
God created everything in the heavenly realms and on earth.
00:10:55.643 --> 00:10:59.547
He made the things that we can't see.
00:10:59.547 --> 00:11:01.682
I think this is interesting
00:11:01.682 --> 00:11:02.817
And the things that we can't see,
00:11:02.817 --> 00:11:04.585
Such as thrones, kingdoms, rulers and authorities.
00:11:04.585 --> 00:11:07.888
Even in the unseen world, everything was created through
00:11:07.888 --> 00:11:13.027
Him, jesus christ,
00:11:13.027 --> 00:11:14.261
And for him, for he existed before anything else.
00:11:14.261 --> 00:11:18.432
And he holds all creation together.
00:11:18.432 --> 00:11:21.936
Now take that verse in and really think about
00:11:22.803 --> 00:11:25.206
How he came as a baby
00:11:25.206 --> 00:11:28.509
To be born in a feeding
00:11:28.509 --> 00:11:29.777
Trough for animals.
00:11:29.777 --> 00:11:33.314
You know i love this first in john
00:11:33.314 --> 00:11:35.149
Chapter ten, verses 27 through 30.
00:11:35.149 --> 00:11:38.252
And here's what it states.
00:11:38.252 --> 00:11:39.386
And jesus said, he said, my sheep,
00:11:39.386 --> 00:11:42.823
My followers, my disciples, they what?
00:11:42.823 --> 00:11:46.594
They listen to my voice.
00:11:46.594 --> 00:11:49.697
Are you so distracted right now?
00:11:50.331 --> 00:11:52.032
It's been a long time since you've actually listened to god.
00:11:52.032 --> 00:11:57.004
Could that be the very reason you have anxiety?
00:11:58.005 --> 00:12:02.009
Could that be the very reason you are so stressed out
00:12:02.009 --> 00:12:04.979
Right now?
00:12:04.979 --> 00:12:06.647
Jesus says, listen my followers, my sheep,
00:12:06.647 --> 00:12:10.351
They listen to my voice and i know them,
00:12:10.351 --> 00:12:13.187
And i give them eternal life and they will never perish.
00:12:13.187 --> 00:12:16.590
Now listen to this right here.
00:12:16.590 --> 00:12:17.792
No one can snatch them away from me.
00:12:17.792 --> 00:12:20.995
Jesus is saying it straight up.
00:12:21.629 --> 00:12:23.864
Satan cannot steal you away from me.
00:12:23.864 --> 00:12:26.967
If you decide to walk away from jesus, that's on you.
00:12:26.967 --> 00:12:30.504
But the enemy can't pull you away from god.
00:12:30.504 --> 00:12:33.007
God has you.
00:12:33.007 --> 00:12:35.709
He met you and there is a way.
00:12:35.709 --> 00:12:37.311
There was a way.
00:12:37.311 --> 00:12:38.179
He said, the enemy can't snatch you,
00:12:38.179 --> 00:12:39.446
Can't snatch you away from me.
00:12:39.446 --> 00:12:40.781
I got all power authority for listen to this.
00:12:40.781 --> 00:12:43.484
For my father has given
00:12:43.484 --> 00:12:46.320
Given them to me.
00:12:46.754 --> 00:12:48.088
And he is more powerful than anyone else.
00:12:48.088 --> 00:12:50.891
And no one can snatch them from the father's hand.
00:12:50.891 --> 00:12:54.161
For the father and i are one.
00:12:54.161 --> 00:12:58.699
Hallelujah. come on, come on.
00:12:59.333 --> 00:13:01.402
So here's what i want to do.
00:13:01.402 --> 00:13:02.536
Come on.
00:13:02.536 --> 00:13:03.204
Let's give god some praise.
00:13:03.204 --> 00:13:05.840
Because he loves you.
00:13:06.340 --> 00:13:09.710
I think here's what i felt as i was writing this message.
00:13:09.710 --> 00:13:13.547
We're going to go into
00:13:13.547 --> 00:13:14.548
Some points, but i felt like the biggest burden
00:13:14.548 --> 00:13:17.418
Just to tell you and remind you that god loves you
00:13:17.418 --> 00:13:20.621
And he sees you.
00:13:21.021 --> 00:13:23.490
So what can we learn from the birth of christ?
00:13:23.490 --> 00:13:25.459
It's a few things i want to show you
00:13:25.459 --> 00:13:26.660
Very quickly from the birth of christ.
00:13:26.660 --> 00:13:28.629
The first thing is this god is not afraid of your low place.
00:13:28.629 --> 00:13:32.132
All right?
00:13:32.433 --> 00:13:33.534
If god was willing to be born in a feeding trough,
00:13:33.534 --> 00:13:36.904
Listen to me on this.
00:13:37.404 --> 00:13:38.606
God is willing to meet you in your mess and your problems.
00:13:38.606 --> 00:13:43.043
When you think,
00:13:43.043 --> 00:13:43.944
Okay, nobody's paying attention to me and
00:13:43.944 --> 00:13:45.546
God can't use somebody like me, look at my small beginnings
00:13:45.546 --> 00:13:49.516
As a pastor.
00:13:49.850 --> 00:13:50.684
I hear that all the time.
00:13:50.684 --> 00:13:52.353
God can't use me.
00:13:52.353 --> 00:13:54.054
You know where i'm from. you know what my family's done?
00:13:54.054 --> 00:13:56.490
And i'm like, have you read the bible?
00:13:56.490 --> 00:13:59.693
Like, really?
00:14:00.060 --> 00:14:00.728
Open up the bible.
00:14:00.728 --> 00:14:01.929
It's all about people who felt like god couldn't use them.
00:14:01.929 --> 00:14:05.599
Little beginnings.
00:14:06.033 --> 00:14:07.401
Overlooked. forgotten.
00:14:07.401 --> 00:14:09.303
Have you ever heard of david?
00:14:09.303 --> 00:14:11.872
David was the youngest in his family.
00:14:11.872 --> 00:14:14.642
If you're the youngest.
00:14:14.642 --> 00:14:15.442
Raise your hand.
00:14:15.442 --> 00:14:16.644
Come on.
00:14:16.644 --> 00:14:17.611
Shout out to the young ones in here. right.
00:14:17.611 --> 00:14:19.580
He was the youngest,
00:14:19.580 --> 00:14:20.748
But he was also forgotten because he was the youngest.
00:14:20.748 --> 00:14:24.585
And so his family overlooked him.
00:14:24.585 --> 00:14:27.688
But guess what?
00:14:28.055 --> 00:14:29.490
God called david to be the king.
00:14:29.490 --> 00:14:32.760
The king of israel.
00:14:33.227 --> 00:14:34.228
And the lineage would also point to jesus christ.
00:14:34.228 --> 00:14:36.530
What about moses?
00:14:36.530 --> 00:14:38.265
Moses had a pretty cool upbringing in egypt,
00:14:38.265 --> 00:14:41.535
But once he found out about what really happened in his family,
00:14:41.535 --> 00:14:44.705
He couldn't take it.
00:14:44.705 --> 00:14:45.739
He murdered man. and then he went.
00:14:45.739 --> 00:14:47.641
He ran away.
00:14:47.641 --> 00:14:49.376
Now listen to this. he ran away from his past.
00:14:49.376 --> 00:14:52.913
Some of you are right there, right now.
00:14:53.714 --> 00:14:57.084
You've been running
00:14:57.084 --> 00:14:58.085
Away from your past because of past mistakes.
00:14:58.085 --> 00:15:01.922
And it was at the burning bush that god met moses.
00:15:01.922 --> 00:15:05.659
And he told moses,
00:15:06.093 --> 00:15:07.294
He said, listen, i'm going to speak to you.
00:15:07.294 --> 00:15:09.630
I'm going to do something through you
00:15:09.630 --> 00:15:11.131
That you never thought could be done in your life.
00:15:11.131 --> 00:15:14.401
But here's the thing.
00:15:14.401 --> 00:15:15.402
It means you got to go back.
00:15:15.402 --> 00:15:18.072
Now imagine moses in this moment, like,
00:15:18.072 --> 00:15:20.207
I got to go back to the place that i ran from.
00:15:20.207 --> 00:15:22.309
Yes, because when you go back, there's a testimony.
00:15:22.309 --> 00:15:25.546
You're not the same person.
00:15:26.146 --> 00:15:27.681
And what i'm going to do through
00:15:27.681 --> 00:15:29.016
You, if you believe me, if you walk faithfully,
00:15:29.016 --> 00:15:31.685
Then i'm going to free my people through you.
00:15:31.685 --> 00:15:34.722
Some of you right now,
00:15:34.722 --> 00:15:35.789
You don't want to go back, but god's going to
00:15:35.789 --> 00:15:37.658
Bring you back to save people.
00:15:37.658 --> 00:15:40.427
Because once they hear your testimony,
00:15:40.427 --> 00:15:42.563
Their lives will be changed because jesus has changed you.
00:15:42.563 --> 00:15:46.533
What about mary?
00:15:46.533 --> 00:15:48.135
The whole christmas story.
00:15:48.135 --> 00:15:49.269
She was a teenager from nowhere
00:15:49.269 --> 00:15:52.239
Who would be talked about forever.
00:15:53.007 --> 00:15:55.109
Now listen to this.
00:15:55.109 --> 00:15:56.577
Luke chapter one, verse 46 through
00:15:56.577 --> 00:15:57.978
49 says, mary responded, listen to her wording here.
00:15:57.978 --> 00:16:02.349
Oh, how my soul praises the lord,
00:16:02.349 --> 00:16:06.286
How my spirit rejoices in god my savior.
00:16:06.286 --> 00:16:11.492
For god took what he took notice of this lowly
00:16:11.492 --> 00:16:15.529
Servant girl,
00:16:15.896 --> 00:16:19.299
The one that's overlooked,
00:16:19.867 --> 00:16:22.403
The one that seems insignificant to others.
00:16:22.403 --> 00:16:24.905
But now, because of you, god,
00:16:24.905 --> 00:16:26.807
All generations will call me blessed.
00:16:26.807 --> 00:16:30.844
She knew that the story would continue forever.
00:16:30.844 --> 00:16:35.482
And you know what i love about mary?
00:16:36.283 --> 00:16:39.253
She didn't say, oh, look at me.
00:16:39.253 --> 00:16:42.289
She didn't say, i deserved this.
00:16:42.289 --> 00:16:43.624
She said, thank you god for noticing me.
00:16:43.624 --> 00:16:47.061
Thank you god for meeting me.
00:16:47.694 --> 00:16:50.731
Thank you god for using me for your kingdom.
00:16:50.731 --> 00:16:52.900
She was young and she was from nazareth.
00:16:52.900 --> 00:16:55.502
This was a despised town.
00:16:55.502 --> 00:16:58.005
Can anything good come from nazareth?
00:16:58.005 --> 00:17:00.541
You know god's laughing at that.
00:17:00.541 --> 00:17:03.310
Oh, something good.
00:17:03.310 --> 00:17:05.412
It's going to come from nazareth.
00:17:05.412 --> 00:17:08.048
The very thing in your life that you think something
00:17:08.048 --> 00:17:10.217
Good can't come out of
00:17:10.217 --> 00:17:11.752
May actually be the best thing for you.
00:17:12.586 --> 00:17:15.656
The second thing the manger teaches us
00:17:15.656 --> 00:17:17.391
Is this never underestimate
00:17:17.391 --> 00:17:18.992
What god can do through something that looks small.
00:17:18.992 --> 00:17:23.297
We see this theme theme throughout the entire bible
00:17:23.297 --> 00:17:26.500
Where jesus said,
00:17:26.500 --> 00:17:27.534
Hey, just the faith the size of a mustard seed.
00:17:27.534 --> 00:17:30.704
You know what i love about that?
00:17:31.338 --> 00:17:32.739
God understands our struggles.
00:17:32.739 --> 00:17:35.709
He understands.
00:17:35.709 --> 00:17:36.443
He says, okay,
00:17:36.443 --> 00:17:37.311
I get it that sometimes you feel like
00:17:37.311 --> 00:17:38.612
You don't have enough faith to get through the trial
00:17:38.612 --> 00:17:41.148
That you're facing right now, but just the faith
00:17:41.148 --> 00:17:43.550
The size of a mustard seed can move.
00:17:43.550 --> 00:17:46.053
A mountain can take out demons, can change your life forever.
00:17:46.053 --> 00:17:51.291
That's all you need.
00:17:51.291 --> 00:17:52.426
God can work with it.
00:17:52.426 --> 00:17:54.428
The faith the size of a mustard seed.
00:17:54.428 --> 00:17:56.263
David sling killed goliath, not saul's armor.
00:17:56.263 --> 00:17:59.233
By the way.
00:17:59.233 --> 00:18:00.567
It was the small thing that people overlooked.
00:18:00.567 --> 00:18:02.669
And the bible says, now listen to this a word, a word spoken
00:18:02.669 --> 00:18:08.175
Out of your mouth can bring life or it can bring death.
00:18:08.175 --> 00:18:14.248
You may think
00:18:14.615 --> 00:18:15.749
Your words mean nothing, but they hold a lot of weight.
00:18:15.749 --> 00:18:18.418
Proverbs chapter 18, verse 21.
00:18:18.418 --> 00:18:20.087
For the tongue
00:18:20.087 --> 00:18:21.188
Can bring death or life, and those who love to talk
00:18:21.188 --> 00:18:25.592
Will reap the consequences.
00:18:26.193 --> 00:18:29.163
Listen, don't be pointing to your spouse right now.
00:18:29.163 --> 00:18:31.231
Have that conversation later, okay?
00:18:31.231 --> 00:18:34.701
But watch your words.
00:18:34.701 --> 00:18:37.371
There's power.
00:18:37.371 --> 00:18:38.405
There's authority, and just just one word, right?
00:18:38.405 --> 00:18:41.308
And last is this i want to show you this
00:18:41.308 --> 00:18:43.977
From the birth of jesus christ.
00:18:43.977 --> 00:18:45.445
God came low so that no one would feel too far gone.
00:18:45.445 --> 00:18:51.752
God came so low to us so that no one would feel too far gone.
00:18:51.752 --> 00:18:56.690
Because god didn't come in
00:18:56.690 --> 00:18:58.225
This story as a distant voice from the sky.
00:18:58.225 --> 00:19:01.395
He didn't come as fire or as a cloud, as we see
00:19:02.329 --> 00:19:06.466
In the old testament, as he's leading the israelites
00:19:06.466 --> 00:19:09.069
Becoming a nation and the wilderness.
00:19:09.069 --> 00:19:10.971
No, this time he decided to come as a baby.
00:19:10.971 --> 00:19:14.107
Why a baby?
00:19:14.107 --> 00:19:15.642
Not only does it fulfill god's word, but a baby
00:19:15.642 --> 00:19:20.747
Is sweet.
00:19:21.048 --> 00:19:22.983
A baby can be held, a baby can be approached,
00:19:22.983 --> 00:19:27.487
And a baby will not intimidate you.
00:19:27.487 --> 00:19:31.692
Meaning god wants a relationship with you
00:19:32.526 --> 00:19:36.129
And he's showing you, hey,
00:19:36.697 --> 00:19:39.233
Satan would love to kill jesus as a baby,
00:19:39.233 --> 00:19:41.768
But he's never going to touch jesus.
00:19:41.768 --> 00:19:45.072
He doesn't have that power.
00:19:45.672 --> 00:19:47.307
And so if we can trust the christmas story in this way,
00:19:47.307 --> 00:19:50.777
That god can save us coming as a baby,
00:19:50.777 --> 00:19:54.114
Then we can trust god in anything
00:19:54.114 --> 00:19:57.818
In our life, no matter what it is that we are facing today.
00:19:57.818 --> 00:20:01.855
Jesus came as a baby
00:20:02.322 --> 00:20:04.925
To prove to us that he's not distant from us.
00:20:04.925 --> 00:20:07.661
And listen, he has experienced everything that we go through.
00:20:07.661 --> 00:20:12.966
All right, guys, that's all the time we have for today.
00:20:12.966 --> 00:20:15.369
But i pray that today's message bless your life.
00:20:15.369 --> 00:20:19.006
There is a reason you heard this word today.
00:20:19.006 --> 00:20:21.708
It's not by mistake.
00:20:21.708 --> 00:20:23.143
You're here for a reason and god has a plan for you.
00:20:23.143 --> 00:20:26.913
And listen,
00:20:26.913 --> 00:20:28.015
If you love this church and thinking about giving to
