  • 00:00:01.950 --> 00:00:06.822
  • Allen jackson: yeah, i believe it's more important that we lead
  • 00:00:06.922 --> 00:00:08.857
  • With our faith now than at any time i can remember in
  • 00:00:08.991 --> 00:00:09.925
  • Recent history.
  • 00:00:11.994 --> 00:00:13.328
  • It's not always easy to do.
  • 00:00:13.328 --> 00:00:14.696
  • If you're at work or sometimes in a family setting or with
  • 00:00:14.696 --> 00:00:17.066
  • Children, you don't know how to get a conversation started.
  • 00:00:17.066 --> 00:00:20.002
  • Well, we've created a tool that we believe can be
  • 00:00:20.002 --> 00:00:22.471
  • Really helpful.
  • 00:00:22.471 --> 00:00:23.839
  • They're conversation cards.
  • 00:00:23.839 --> 00:00:25.307
  • They're designed for a variety of settings--children, family, a
  • 00:00:25.307 --> 00:00:28.210
  • Small group setting--but the idea is it's a way to initiate a
  • 00:00:28.210 --> 00:00:31.814
  • Faith-based conversation.
  • 00:00:31.814 --> 00:00:34.016
  • You can share 'em with other people and do it together.
  • 00:00:34.016 --> 00:00:36.251
  • You can simply look through them and use it as an imagination
  • 00:00:36.251 --> 00:00:39.455
  • Starter for yourself.
  • 00:00:39.455 --> 00:00:40.923
  • When you're thinking about a coworker or a neighbor or a
  • 00:00:40.923 --> 00:00:43.325
  • Family member or you're gonna have some time with children or
  • 00:00:43.325 --> 00:00:45.594
  • Grandchildren or maybe something happening in the neighborhood,
  • 00:00:45.594 --> 00:00:49.264
  • We want to lead with our faith.
  • 00:00:49.264 --> 00:00:50.799
  • We don't have to preach a sermon or quote a bible verse or
  • 00:00:50.799 --> 00:00:53.602
  • Present a small group study.
  • 00:00:53.602 --> 00:00:55.437
  • We simply want to engage a conversation so that faith
  • 00:00:55.437 --> 00:00:58.874
  • Becomes a part of who we are, no matter where we go.
  • 00:00:58.874 --> 00:01:01.977
  • I think these conversation cards will be a real blessing to you
  • 00:01:01.977 --> 00:01:04.546
  • And a very useful tool as we lead with our faith.
  • 00:01:04.546 --> 00:01:08.317
  • Allen: i'm telling you, prayer will change the trajectory of
  • 00:01:08.317 --> 00:01:11.920
  • Your life.
  • 00:01:11.920 --> 00:01:14.523
  • We think of prayer so often as a means of getting our way, of
  • 00:01:14.523 --> 00:01:20.629
  • Getting a problem resolved, or getting a need met, and it can
  • 00:01:20.629 --> 00:01:23.732
  • Be about that, but i've found it to be far, far more encompassing
  • 00:01:23.732 --> 00:01:29.171
  • Than that.
  • 00:01:29.171 --> 00:01:30.539
  • It's about god's direction for our lives.
  • 00:01:30.539 --> 00:01:35.144
  • So i brought you just some examples by category, simple
  • 00:01:35.144 --> 00:01:37.880
  • One-sentence prayers you can pray.
  • 00:01:37.880 --> 00:01:40.482
  • Take a picture of it, keep it in your phone, share it with
  • 00:01:40.482 --> 00:01:42.784
  • Somebody else.
  • 00:01:42.784 --> 00:01:45.087
  • Somebody will no doubt call the office tomorrow and say, "will
  • 00:01:45.087 --> 00:01:46.989
  • You post it somewhere?"
  • 00:01:46.989 --> 00:01:48.323
  • I have posted it, in your hand, on a piece of paper.
  • 00:01:48.323 --> 00:01:50.292
  • Now take a picture.
  • 00:01:50.292 --> 00:01:55.364
  • "well, couldn't we have it--" no, just take a picture.
  • 00:01:55.364 --> 00:01:59.801
  • If you need a--if you need a healing miracle, "lord, give us
  • 00:01:59.801 --> 00:02:03.105
  • Your strength for this day, in jesus' name, amen."
  • 00:02:03.105 --> 00:02:08.544
  • "well, that's not what i want.
  • 00:02:08.544 --> 00:02:09.878
  • I want--" no, wait, just, "lord, give us your
  • 00:02:09.878 --> 00:02:11.513
  • Strength today."
  • 00:02:11.513 --> 00:02:15.784
  • If you're filled with anxiety and i don't mean some arbitrary
  • 00:02:15.784 --> 00:02:20.022
  • Point of where, i mean, if there are circumstances that would
  • 00:02:20.022 --> 00:02:22.524
  • Cause any normal sane person to be worried, "father, may your
  • 00:02:22.524 --> 00:02:28.597
  • Peace fill our hearts and our minds today, in jesus'
  • 00:02:28.597 --> 00:02:32.234
  • Name, amen."
  • 00:02:32.234 --> 00:02:34.436
  • Jesus faced real threats.
  • 00:02:34.436 --> 00:02:37.773
  • He faced threats from rome, he faced threats from
  • 00:02:37.773 --> 00:02:40.742
  • Jewish leaders.
  • 00:02:40.742 --> 00:02:42.544
  • He faced the threats of a group of people that he was trying to
  • 00:02:42.544 --> 00:02:45.981
  • Train that seemed to be recruited from the slow group.
  • 00:02:45.981 --> 00:02:49.184
  • So a sentence prayer to me is not void of significance.
  • 00:02:49.184 --> 00:02:53.322
  • I don't want to limit your prayers to that.
  • 00:02:53.322 --> 00:02:55.023
  • I want it to be a touch point.
  • 00:02:55.023 --> 00:02:59.494
  • If there are problems in your life, real problems, tangible
  • 00:02:59.494 --> 00:03:02.631
  • Problems: "father, give us your wisdom today, in jesus' name."
  • 00:03:02.631 --> 00:03:10.906
  • See, wisdom is knowing what to do.
  • 00:03:10.906 --> 00:03:12.574
  • It's having the right information at the right time
  • 00:03:12.574 --> 00:03:14.810
  • For the right response.
  • 00:03:14.810 --> 00:03:17.312
  • That takes god.
  • 00:03:17.312 --> 00:03:22.050
  • Discouragement.
  • 00:03:22.050 --> 00:03:24.386
  • Discouragement is to be without courage.
  • 00:03:24.386 --> 00:03:26.255
  • If you don't have the courage to go forward, if you're stuck
  • 00:03:26.255 --> 00:03:30.092
  • In procrastination.
  • 00:03:30.092 --> 00:03:31.526
  • [clearing throat]
  • 00:03:31.526 --> 00:03:33.762
  • Excuse me.
  • 00:03:33.762 --> 00:03:35.664
  • "lord, fill us with joy and hope as we move through our
  • 00:03:35.664 --> 00:03:38.433
  • Day, amen."
  • 00:03:38.433 --> 00:03:45.941
  • Loneliness.
  • 00:03:45.941 --> 00:03:47.609
  • You know, loneliness is really-- loneliness, typically, it's not
  • 00:03:47.609 --> 00:03:51.046
  • About being completely alone; it's you don't have the people
  • 00:03:51.046 --> 00:03:53.282
  • Around you or you don't have the support that you want.
  • 00:03:53.282 --> 00:03:59.688
  • "well, i mean, yeah, i know they'll talk to me, but they're
  • 00:03:59.688 --> 00:04:01.390
  • Not the ones i want to talk to me.
  • 00:04:01.390 --> 00:04:04.359
  • Well, yeah, i know they care about me, but that's not the one
  • 00:04:04.359 --> 00:04:06.695
  • I want--" pfft.
  • 00:04:06.695 --> 00:04:10.098
  • "father, send your angels to stand beside us today."
  • 00:04:10.098 --> 00:04:14.136
  • If you know god is with you, if you really believe what he
  • 00:04:14.136 --> 00:04:16.505
  • Said--that he'll never leave you or forsake you--
  • 00:04:16.505 --> 00:04:18.273
  • You're not alone.
  • 00:04:18.273 --> 00:04:20.642
  • "no, but i feel it--" oh, i got that.
  • 00:04:20.642 --> 00:04:30.385
  • Heaviness.
  • 00:04:30.385 --> 00:04:32.321
  • "father, lift the spirit of despair and bring your hope to
  • 00:04:32.321 --> 00:04:34.923
  • Us today, in jesus' name, amen."
  • 00:04:34.923 --> 00:04:40.162
  • Weariness.
  • 00:04:40.162 --> 00:04:42.364
  • You know, the bible says not to grow weary in doing good.
  • 00:04:42.364 --> 00:04:45.600
  • You know something for certain if the bible says not to grow
  • 00:04:45.600 --> 00:04:48.003
  • Weary in doing good that you will, what?
  • 00:04:48.003 --> 00:04:51.373
  • Pfft.
  • 00:04:51.373 --> 00:04:52.874
  • "tired of doing good.
  • 00:04:52.874 --> 00:04:55.277
  • Feel like doing a little wicked.
  • 00:04:55.277 --> 00:05:00.415
  • Well, maybe not wicked, but i'm just gonna a little--at least
  • 00:05:00.415 --> 00:05:02.217
  • I'm gonna do a little not good.
  • 00:05:02.217 --> 00:05:05.487
  • Not gonna be kind.
  • 00:05:05.487 --> 00:05:08.023
  • You pull in front of me, i'm gonna hit you."
  • 00:05:08.023 --> 00:05:17.432
  • Well, you've--we've all got our own expression of that.
  • 00:05:17.432 --> 00:05:21.670
  • "not picking up after these kids one more time."
  • 00:05:21.670 --> 00:05:25.907
  • "no, i'm not taking one more prayer request."
  • 00:05:25.907 --> 00:05:34.983
  • "father, help carry our burden through this day, give us a
  • 00:05:34.983 --> 00:05:39.121
  • Sense of your rest, in jesus' name, amen."
  • 00:05:39.121 --> 00:05:45.727
  • And i think one of the most powerful things you can do when
  • 00:05:45.727 --> 00:05:47.896
  • You recognize you're in a spiritual struggle is to be
  • 00:05:47.896 --> 00:05:51.032
  • Determined to rejoice, to use your voice, to focus
  • 00:05:51.032 --> 00:05:53.702
  • Your thoughts.
  • 00:05:53.702 --> 00:05:55.504
  • "lord, thank you for your goodness and your love for us.
  • 00:05:55.504 --> 00:05:59.207
  • We love you."
  • 00:05:59.207 --> 00:06:01.543
  • Now, if any one of those things were appropriate for a specific
  • 00:06:01.543 --> 00:06:04.746
  • Point of awareness in my life, i would say that 100 times today.
  • 00:06:04.746 --> 00:06:12.320
  • It would become my mantra.
  • 00:06:12.320 --> 00:06:13.789
  • My mom used to take a verse of scripture when she was in her
  • 00:06:13.789 --> 00:06:17.492
  • Lockdown pray mode.
  • 00:06:17.492 --> 00:06:18.894
  • She'd take a verse of scripture and take a safety pin, a little
  • 00:06:18.894 --> 00:06:21.196
  • Scrap of paper, and safety pin it to her clothes.
  • 00:06:21.196 --> 00:06:25.300
  • She looked weird.
  • 00:06:25.300 --> 00:06:27.803
  • And if you didn't watch her, she'd go out in public that way.
  • 00:06:27.803 --> 00:06:32.641
  • And then you'd have to explain to your friends why your mother
  • 00:06:32.641 --> 00:06:34.876
  • Had a verse of scripture upside down pinned on her clothing.
  • 00:06:34.876 --> 00:06:44.619
  • But you can take one of those sentences and make it your own,
  • 00:06:44.619 --> 00:06:50.025
  • And turn back the attack.
  • 00:06:50.025 --> 00:06:53.562
  • If you imagine every time you say that prayer, you're planting
  • 00:06:53.562 --> 00:06:56.398
  • A seed, why wouldn't you plant 100 of them?
  • 00:06:56.398 --> 00:06:59.634
  • Or 1000 of them?
  • 00:06:59.634 --> 00:07:05.106
  • You want a bountiful harvest.
  • 00:07:05.106 --> 00:07:08.710
  • You know, people say, "well, i prayed one time and
  • 00:07:08.710 --> 00:07:10.245
  • Nothing happened."
  • 00:07:10.245 --> 00:07:11.613
  • Oh, so like when you told your children something, the very
  • 00:07:11.613 --> 00:07:16.852
  • First time you whispered it, everybody saluted and you got
  • 00:07:16.852 --> 00:07:20.856
  • Perfect obedience from then on?
  • 00:07:20.856 --> 00:07:25.260
  • Sure you did.
  • 00:07:25.260 --> 00:07:28.129
  • Well, i think there's a great illustration of this and i won't
  • 00:07:28.129 --> 00:07:30.398
  • Belabor it because it's familiar to many of us, i know, but i
  • 00:07:30.398 --> 00:07:34.603
  • Would submit to you that daniel led a meaningful life.
  • 00:07:34.603 --> 00:07:38.540
  • But that he did it in the face of some very, very
  • 00:07:38.540 --> 00:07:41.543
  • Significant opposition.
  • 00:07:41.543 --> 00:07:44.179
  • Just wasn't easy.
  • 00:07:44.179 --> 00:07:45.547
  • There's no--i don't know a perspective to look at daniel's
  • 00:07:45.547 --> 00:07:47.883
  • Life that suggests it was easy.
  • 00:07:47.883 --> 00:07:50.352
  • And yet he's a man of tremendous significance in scripture, and
  • 00:07:50.352 --> 00:07:53.822
  • We're told multiple times that he was valued highly in heaven.
  • 00:07:53.822 --> 00:07:59.094
  • A life lived well.
  • 00:07:59.094 --> 00:08:02.264
  • So that you can lead a--you can have a life that is valued in
  • 00:08:02.264 --> 00:08:05.467
  • Heaven, that is considered significant, even when the
  • 00:08:05.467 --> 00:08:09.938
  • Circumstances of your life are shouting at you that that's
  • 00:08:09.938 --> 00:08:13.708
  • Not true.
  • 00:08:13.708 --> 00:08:15.944
  • When the circumstances of your life seem unfair or unjust
  • 00:08:15.944 --> 00:08:20.615
  • Or inappropriate.
  • 00:08:20.615 --> 00:08:23.218
  • You see, i pray with families a lot and oftentimes there's grief
  • 00:08:23.218 --> 00:08:26.855
  • And weeping and real concern because our children are the,
  • 00:08:26.855 --> 00:08:31.092
  • You know, are not gonna have an opportunity, they've had to
  • 00:08:31.092 --> 00:08:33.495
  • Overcome something or there's been a hurdle or there's been a
  • 00:08:33.495 --> 00:08:35.931
  • Problem, and the reality is god can bring value and significance
  • 00:08:35.931 --> 00:08:41.603
  • And meaning to our lives in spite of all the expressions of
  • 00:08:41.603 --> 00:08:44.839
  • The brokenness of our world.
  • 00:08:44.839 --> 00:08:47.709
  • It's very important to know.
  • 00:08:47.709 --> 00:08:50.712
  • Disappointments in life, the heartaches in life, the
  • 00:08:50.712 --> 00:08:53.281
  • Injustices in life, do not have the power to rob you of the best
  • 00:08:53.281 --> 00:08:58.353
  • That god has for you.
  • 00:08:58.353 --> 00:09:01.222
  • I'm not saying it isn't disappointing, i'm not saying it
  • 00:09:01.222 --> 00:09:03.391
  • Won't break your heart.
  • 00:09:03.391 --> 00:09:04.859
  • I'm telling you they don't have the power to disrupt what god
  • 00:09:04.859 --> 00:09:08.229
  • Has for you if we can be determined to persevere
  • 00:09:08.229 --> 00:09:12.000
  • And overcome.
  • 00:09:12.000 --> 00:09:14.569
  • And daniel models that in some amazing ways.
  • 00:09:14.569 --> 00:09:18.306
  • Daniel chapter 1, verse 8, he said he'd "resolved not to
  • 00:09:18.306 --> 00:09:21.676
  • Defile himself with the royal food and the wine, and he asked
  • 00:09:21.676 --> 00:09:24.446
  • For permission to eat simple food."
  • 00:09:24.446 --> 00:09:28.383
  • And god's responses to these four young men, "god gave
  • 00:09:28.383 --> 00:09:31.052
  • Knowledge and understanding of all kinds of literature
  • 00:09:31.052 --> 00:09:33.421
  • And learning.
  • 00:09:33.421 --> 00:09:34.756
  • And daniel could understand visions and dreams."
  • 00:09:34.756 --> 00:09:36.458
  • That wasn't a result of study.
  • 00:09:36.458 --> 00:09:37.993
  • They didn't study harder than everybody else.
  • 00:09:37.993 --> 00:09:40.328
  • They decided to honor god and god gave them a revelation--
  • 00:09:40.328 --> 00:09:44.265
  • Insight, wisdom, and knowledge beyond their learning.
  • 00:09:44.265 --> 00:09:49.571
  • I believe god still does that.
  • 00:09:49.571 --> 00:09:52.974
  • I believe there's a benefit to choosing godliness.
  • 00:09:52.974 --> 00:09:55.343
  • The world mocks it.
  • 00:09:55.343 --> 00:09:58.346
  • Just--it's hard to get through a day.
  • 00:09:58.346 --> 00:10:01.082
  • I have--i don't pay a lot of attention to the media, but i
  • 00:10:01.082 --> 00:10:03.385
  • Have to pay a little bit of attention to fulfill some of
  • 00:10:03.385 --> 00:10:05.887
  • My assignments.
  • 00:10:05.887 --> 00:10:07.222
  • It's very difficult to get through a day without reading
  • 00:10:07.222 --> 00:10:09.591
  • People who are celebrated, intellectuals, lots of letters
  • 00:10:09.591 --> 00:10:13.828
  • At the end of their names, they've got great followings,
  • 00:10:13.828 --> 00:10:16.765
  • Who very intentionally mock god.
  • 00:10:16.765 --> 00:10:20.635
  • They'll mock his word, they'll mock his moral boundaries,
  • 00:10:20.635 --> 00:10:25.140
  • Whatever, mock his people.
  • 00:10:25.140 --> 00:10:29.144
  • And we have to decide if we're going to be identified as the
  • 00:10:29.144 --> 00:10:32.113
  • People of god.
  • 00:10:32.113 --> 00:10:34.582
  • Daniel said, "i'm--i wanna-- it's so important to me, i want
  • 00:10:34.582 --> 00:10:37.986
  • To eat a godly diet."
  • 00:10:37.986 --> 00:10:41.623
  • Pfft.
  • 00:10:41.623 --> 00:10:44.793
  • And then god gave them something.
  • 00:10:44.793 --> 00:10:47.195
  • He's still doing that, folks.
  • 00:10:47.195 --> 00:10:48.530
  • He's the rewarder of those who diligently seek him.
  • 00:10:48.530 --> 00:10:50.765
  • It's in hebrews.
  • 00:10:50.765 --> 00:10:56.237
  • Daniel developed a relationship with god.
  • 00:10:56.237 --> 00:10:59.441
  • Now, this is the step that i think sometimes we kind of
  • 00:10:59.441 --> 00:11:01.943
  • Walk past.
  • 00:11:01.943 --> 00:11:03.545
  • We wanna get our ticket punched.
  • 00:11:03.545 --> 00:11:04.913
  • We wanna know what our destiny is, but do we really want a
  • 00:11:04.913 --> 00:11:08.083
  • Relationship with god?
  • 00:11:08.083 --> 00:11:09.451
  • Do we want to invite him in?
  • 00:11:09.451 --> 00:11:10.785
  • Are we willing to be honest with him about what we think, what we
  • 00:11:10.785 --> 00:11:12.654
  • Feel, what our aspirations are, what our dreams are?
  • 00:11:12.654 --> 00:11:15.123
  • See, i think we imagine we wanna hide those things from god, and
  • 00:11:15.123 --> 00:11:17.292
  • We just want him to bless us when we get to those
  • 00:11:17.292 --> 00:11:18.893
  • Important junctions.
  • 00:11:18.893 --> 00:11:24.833
  • The king's had a dream.
  • 00:11:24.833 --> 00:11:27.135
  • He wants to--he wants to know what the dream was.
  • 00:11:27.135 --> 00:11:28.970
  • He can't remember it and he wants the interpretation, he's
  • 00:11:28.970 --> 00:11:31.005
  • Gonna kill all of his wise men unless they deliver.
  • 00:11:31.005 --> 00:11:35.176
  • And daniel's in that bucket, so he's on his--his days are
  • 00:11:35.176 --> 00:11:38.747
  • Very numbered.
  • 00:11:38.747 --> 00:11:40.415
  • And he says in daniel 2:16: "he went to the king and asked for
  • 00:11:40.415 --> 00:11:43.985
  • Time, so that he could interpret the dream.
  • 00:11:43.985 --> 00:11:46.988
  • Then he went back to his house and he explained the matter to
  • 00:11:46.988 --> 00:11:49.257
  • His friends."
  • 00:11:49.257 --> 00:11:50.592
  • These are the guys, they're eating with him.
  • 00:11:50.592 --> 00:11:53.595
  • "and he urged them to plead for mercy from the god of heaven
  • 00:11:53.595 --> 00:11:57.832
  • Concerning this mystery, so that he and his friends might not
  • 00:11:57.832 --> 00:12:00.535
  • Be executed."
  • 00:12:00.535 --> 00:12:02.403
  • Daniel has the imagination that god would give them
  • 00:12:02.403 --> 00:12:05.106
  • That insight.
  • 00:12:05.106 --> 00:12:08.409
  • See, that's what we want to cultivate.
  • 00:12:08.409 --> 00:12:10.411
  • The reason you want to take prayers like those little simple
  • 00:12:10.411 --> 00:12:12.580
  • Prayers i suggested to you and begin to incorporate them into
  • 00:12:12.580 --> 00:12:15.750
  • Your life is you wanna cultivate this imagination that god would
  • 00:12:15.750 --> 00:12:19.554
  • Be involved.
  • 00:12:19.554 --> 00:12:21.890
  • That it's not bizarre, it's not outside the realm of my
  • 00:12:21.890 --> 00:12:24.793
  • Experience, i--never occurred to me, i never thought of that.
  • 00:12:24.793 --> 00:12:29.664
  • We want to build a relationship with god that makes the
  • 00:12:29.664 --> 00:12:32.200
  • Possibility of god's involvement as normal as the sun coming up
  • 00:12:32.200 --> 00:12:36.004
  • In the east.
  • 00:12:36.004 --> 00:12:39.574
  • We want to become acclimated to that.
  • 00:12:39.574 --> 00:12:42.043
  • We want it to become like our default setting.
  • 00:12:42.043 --> 00:12:44.212
  • Well, let's invite god into that.
  • 00:12:44.212 --> 00:12:45.947
  • God helps us.
  • 00:12:45.947 --> 00:12:50.418
  • Daniel had enough of a relationship that he would say
  • 00:12:50.418 --> 00:12:53.454
  • To the king, "give me the evening, and i'll be back."
  • 00:12:53.454 --> 00:12:59.460
  • And he went to his friends and said, "we need to seek the lord.
  • 00:12:59.460 --> 00:13:04.299
  • We need insight from him."
  • 00:13:04.299 --> 00:13:06.768
  • You see, we want to develop, we wanna plant enough of those
  • 00:13:06.768 --> 00:13:09.103
  • Seeds and have seen enough of them come up that we begin to
  • 00:13:09.103 --> 00:13:12.540
  • Gain some imagination that god will help us with this.
  • 00:13:12.540 --> 00:13:17.412
  • God will make a way.
  • 00:13:17.412 --> 00:13:18.746
  • I don't know how he'll make a way.
  • 00:13:18.746 --> 00:13:20.782
  • I know how i would like him to make a way.
  • 00:13:20.782 --> 00:13:22.283
  • I want a microwaved answer, but god will make a way.
  • 00:13:22.283 --> 00:13:27.522
  • But you don't arrive at that place unless you begin to
  • 00:13:27.522 --> 00:13:30.291
  • Cultivate the habit of inviting god into the circumstance and of
  • 00:13:30.291 --> 00:13:33.294
  • Planting the seeds.
  • 00:13:33.294 --> 00:13:36.464
  • And then, and stop saying, you know, "i don't know how to--"
  • 00:13:36.464 --> 00:13:38.633
  • Yes, you do. god, help me.
  • 00:13:38.633 --> 00:13:44.706
  • Allen: hey, leading with our faith is often not easy.
  • 00:13:48.810 --> 00:13:50.945
  • You know, you're in a business setting, how do you start
  • 00:13:50.945 --> 00:13:52.847
  • A conversation?
  • 00:13:52.847 --> 00:13:54.215
  • Or you're with family and maybe it's awkward to bring faith
  • 00:13:54.215 --> 00:13:57.018
  • Forward or maybe it's children and you're not sure how to get
  • 00:13:57.018 --> 00:13:59.354
  • To it on their level.
  • 00:13:59.354 --> 00:14:00.722
  • We've got a tool that we think will help you.
  • 00:14:00.722 --> 00:14:02.223
  • They're conversation cards.

  • They're designed to help you lead with your faith in those

  • Different settings.

  • Whether you share them with somebody else, or you use them
  • 00:14:07.862 --> 00:14:09.697
  • As fuel for your own imagination, i believe with
  • 00:14:09.697 --> 00:14:12.500
  • Those cards and the help of the holy spirit, we can all lead
  • 00:14:12.500 --> 00:14:15.069
  • With our faith more effectively.
  • 00:14:15.069 --> 00:14:17.038
  • I'm excited about the outcome.

  • Allen: daniel had a relationship with god that changed not only
  • 00:14:51.205 --> 00:14:53.541
  • His life, it changed the destiny of nations.
  • 00:14:53.541 --> 00:14:57.845
  • It changed the destiny of kings.
  • 00:14:57.845 --> 00:14:59.580
  • It changed the destiny of his-- himself and his friends.
  • 00:14:59.580 --> 00:15:02.884
  • You want that.
  • 00:15:02.884 --> 00:15:06.054
  • We need men and women that know how to change the destiny of a
  • 00:15:06.054 --> 00:15:09.257
  • Family or a city
  • 00:15:09.257 --> 00:15:11.326
  • Or a neighborhood or a school.
  • 00:15:11.326 --> 00:15:19.467
  • In daniel 5, you know, the leaders would come and go, and
  • 00:15:19.467 --> 00:15:24.505
  • Daniel would persevere.
  • 00:15:24.505 --> 00:15:27.108
  • And there'd be times he'd be celebrated and there are times
  • 00:15:27.108 --> 00:15:29.210
  • He'd be persecuted, and there's times he would have a prominent
  • 00:15:29.210 --> 00:15:31.946
  • Place and times he would be forgotten.
  • 00:15:31.946 --> 00:15:34.549
  • All of those things are part of the steadfastness of daniel.
  • 00:15:34.549 --> 00:15:38.987
  • Given honor because of his--and be persecuted, be condemned
  • 00:15:38.987 --> 00:15:45.226
  • To death.
  • 00:15:45.226 --> 00:15:46.661
  • Be elevated and be put on the back shelf.
  • 00:15:46.661 --> 00:15:50.565
  • Daniel 5:11, it says: "there's a man in your kingdom who has the
  • 00:15:50.565 --> 00:15:53.601
  • Spirit of the holy gods in him.
  • 00:15:53.601 --> 00:15:56.371
  • In the time of your father, he was found to have insight and
  • 00:15:56.371 --> 00:15:58.806
  • Intelligence and wisdom like that of the gods.
  • 00:15:58.806 --> 00:16:03.211
  • King nebuchadnezzar your father, i appointed him chief of the
  • 00:16:03.211 --> 00:16:08.316
  • Magicians and enchanters and astrologers and diviners."
  • 00:16:08.316 --> 00:16:11.953
  • It's very clear that daniel didn't have, like, a
  • 00:16:11.953 --> 00:16:14.555
  • Private faith.
  • 00:16:14.555 --> 00:16:17.325
  • He was known as the man who led with his faith.
  • 00:16:17.325 --> 00:16:22.363
  • He didn't have a compartmentalized life.
  • 00:16:22.363 --> 00:16:26.067
  • And we have been very much co-opted by this.
  • 00:16:26.067 --> 00:16:30.271
  • "well, you know, when i do business, i do business."
  • 00:16:30.271 --> 00:16:32.173
  • No, you don't.
  • 00:16:32.173 --> 00:16:34.075
  • You do business as a child of the king, or you're not one.
  • 00:16:34.075 --> 00:16:37.278
  • [congregation applauding]
  • 00:16:37.278 --> 00:16:42.016
  • You know, and there's times that will give you opportunities and
  • 00:16:42.016 --> 00:16:44.352
  • There's times that will put you at a disadvantage.
  • 00:16:44.352 --> 00:16:47.288
  • That's true in academia.
  • 00:16:47.288 --> 00:16:49.123
  • That's true across the board.
  • 00:16:49.123 --> 00:16:51.325
  • If you've compartmentalized your life so you can have some
  • 00:16:51.325 --> 00:16:53.895
  • Fulfillment of some carnal ungodly expression, and you
  • 00:16:53.895 --> 00:16:57.398
  • Think you can do that and then step over here someplace else
  • 00:16:57.398 --> 00:16:59.600
  • And go, "god bless me," you're confused.
  • 00:16:59.600 --> 00:17:03.771
  • A great benefit of becoming a person who will pray is it will
  • 00:17:03.771 --> 00:17:07.742
  • Help you integrate your faith into the breath of your life.
  • 00:17:07.742 --> 00:17:16.084
  • Daniel's life was not compartmentalized.
  • 00:17:16.084 --> 00:17:20.455
  • Then there's a foundation of prayer for him.
  • 00:17:20.455 --> 00:17:25.059
  • In daniel chapter 6, his enemies seem to have gained an
  • 00:17:25.059 --> 00:17:28.329
  • Upper hand.
  • 00:17:28.329 --> 00:17:29.664
  • They're jealous of daniel.
  • 00:17:29.664 --> 00:17:31.032
  • They can't find any reason in his conduct that would cause him
  • 00:17:31.032 --> 00:17:34.068
  • To be discredited.
  • 00:17:34.068 --> 00:17:36.737
  • He's above reproach.
  • 00:17:36.737 --> 00:17:39.207
  • So they decide the only way that they could gain some leverage
  • 00:17:39.207 --> 00:17:42.944
  • Over him is to find some legal loophole around his determined
  • 00:17:42.944 --> 00:17:48.683
  • Practice of his faith.
  • 00:17:48.683 --> 00:17:51.486
  • So they managed to get a law passed that if daniel keeps
  • 00:17:51.486 --> 00:17:54.355
  • Behaving as he behaves, it will put him in jeopardy.
  • 00:17:54.355 --> 00:17:58.860
  • Gee, i'm glad we don't have anybody today that would
  • 00:17:58.860 --> 00:18:00.995
  • Manipulate a system for gain like that.
  • 00:18:00.995 --> 00:18:05.099
  • This is daniel 6 and verse 4.
  • 00:18:05.099 --> 00:18:08.169
  • Says: "the administrators tried to find grounds for charges
  • 00:18:08.169 --> 00:18:10.938
  • Against daniel in the--in his conduct of government affairs,
  • 00:18:10.938 --> 00:18:13.941
  • But they were unable to do so."
  • 00:18:13.941 --> 00:18:17.345
  • His character's been changed.
  • 00:18:17.345 --> 00:18:19.881
  • He's not fueled by selfish ambition or personal ambition
  • 00:18:19.881 --> 00:18:23.084
  • Or greed.
  • 00:18:23.084 --> 00:18:25.186
  • He's not cutting corners, he's not involved in graft.
  • 00:18:25.186 --> 00:18:30.291
  • His word is good.
  • 00:18:30.291 --> 00:18:31.626
  • That's an amazing statement.
  • 00:18:31.626 --> 00:18:32.994
  • Can you imagine if your coworkers or your neighbors or
  • 00:18:32.994 --> 00:18:35.796
  • People who knew you could say something like that about you?
  • 00:18:35.796 --> 00:18:38.633
  • "they could find no corruption in him, because he was
  • 00:18:38.633 --> 00:18:41.068
  • Trustworthy and neither corrupt nor negligent."
  • 00:18:41.068 --> 00:18:46.841
  • Have you--i don't know how often you think of corruption
  • 00:18:46.841 --> 00:18:49.477
  • And negligence as being two sides of a coin.
  • 00:18:49.477 --> 00:18:54.415
  • If you're negligent of your responsibilities, if you don't
  • 00:18:54.415 --> 00:18:58.052
  • Pursue them with your best, you're corrupt.
  • 00:18:58.052 --> 00:19:03.558
  • Wow, daniel is neither negligent nor corrupt.
  • 00:19:03.558 --> 00:19:08.729
  • "finally, they said, 'we'll never find any basis for charges
  • 00:19:08.729 --> 00:19:11.499
  • Against daniel unless it has something to do with his god.'"
  • 00:19:11.499 --> 00:19:16.370
  • So they get the law passed, if you pray, you don't pray to the
  • 00:19:16.370 --> 00:19:20.074
  • King, you'll forfeit your life.
  • 00:19:20.074 --> 00:19:23.878
  • So daniel knows there's a law passed.
  • 00:19:23.878 --> 00:19:29.684
  • Think about that.
  • 00:19:29.684 --> 00:19:31.052
  • Now, daniel knows there's been a decree that if he honors god in
  • 00:19:31.052 --> 00:19:33.588
  • The way that he's chosen to honor god, there could be a very
  • 00:19:33.588 --> 00:19:36.557
  • Severe penalty.
  • 00:19:36.557 --> 00:19:38.859
  • Same chapter, verse 10: "when daniel learned that the decree
  • 00:19:38.859 --> 00:19:40.995
  • Had been published, he went home to his upstairs room where the
  • 00:19:40.995 --> 00:19:43.364
  • Windows opened towards jerusalem.
  • 00:19:43.364 --> 00:19:45.733
  • And three times a day he got down on his knees and prayed."
  • 00:19:45.733 --> 00:19:50.671
  • He didn't close the windows?
  • 00:19:50.671 --> 00:19:53.407
  • He opened the windows "and three times a day he prayed, giving
  • 00:19:53.407 --> 00:19:56.043
  • Thanks to his god, just as he'd done before."
  • 00:19:56.043 --> 00:20:00.181
  • That's how daniel got the trip to the lions' den.
  • 00:20:00.181 --> 00:20:04.085
  • Now, he happened to visit the lions' den on a day when lions
  • 00:20:04.085 --> 00:20:06.153
  • Weren't hungry.
  • 00:20:06.153 --> 00:20:10.358
  • But daniel had been cultivating that expression of faith for a
  • 00:20:10.358 --> 00:20:13.461
  • Long time before he got to the lions' den.
  • 00:20:13.461 --> 00:20:17.231
  • He started with his fork and said, "i'm not gonna dishonor
  • 00:20:17.231 --> 00:20:19.800
  • God with my fork," and then the king needed a dream interpreted
  • 00:20:19.800 --> 00:20:24.171
  • And he said, "well, i--the god i worship could do that.
  • 00:20:24.171 --> 00:20:28.943
  • I will ask him."
  • 00:20:28.943 --> 00:20:31.946
  • And it gave him an opportunity to push his faith a little more
  • 00:20:31.946 --> 00:20:35.716
  • Fully into the public square.
  • 00:20:35.716 --> 00:20:38.719
  • Up until this time, it was private between the man who was
  • 00:20:38.719 --> 00:20:41.122
  • The keeper of the eunuchs and responsible for them.
  • 00:20:41.122 --> 00:20:43.958
  • He knew daniel, his friends, were eating a special diet, but
  • 00:20:43.958 --> 00:20:46.527
  • Nobody else did.
  • 00:20:46.527 --> 00:20:47.995
  • Now when daniel interprets the king's dream, daniel's faith
  • 00:20:47.995 --> 00:20:50.564
  • Life gets pushed a little further into the public square.
  • 00:20:50.564 --> 00:20:54.869
  • You see, i've found you don't have to find ways to declare
  • 00:20:54.869 --> 00:20:58.739
  • You're a person of faith.
  • 00:20:58.739 --> 00:21:00.074
  • If you'll do it quietly and humbly and simply tell the truth
  • 00:21:00.074 --> 00:21:03.344
  • That you know in the place that god gives you, that will lead
  • 00:21:03.344 --> 00:21:06.881
  • You into other places.
  • 00:21:06.881 --> 00:21:09.517
  • You don't have to find a parade and jump in front of it and go,
  • 00:21:09.517 --> 00:21:11.819
  • "here i am! person of great faith and power.
  • 00:21:11.819 --> 00:21:16.290
  • How may i help you?"
  • 00:21:16.290 --> 00:21:21.495
  • My experience suggests if you'll just honor god in the place he's
  • 00:21:21.495 --> 00:21:24.432
  • Put you and be willing to invite god into those places and plant
  • 00:21:24.432 --> 00:21:27.535
  • Those seeds, that god understands you're trustworthy
  • 00:21:27.535 --> 00:21:30.805
  • And he will continue to expand your garden.
  • 00:21:30.805 --> 00:21:36.043
  • And you'll like the fruit of that much better over time.
  • 00:21:36.043 --> 00:21:41.515
  • We wanna be people who have that foundation of prayer built into
  • 00:21:41.515 --> 00:21:45.252
  • Our lives.
  • 00:21:45.252 --> 00:21:47.021
  • Again, what's our target?
  • 00:21:47.021 --> 00:21:48.389
  • What's the goal?
  • 00:21:48.389 --> 00:21:49.724
  • What is it we want to become?
  • 00:21:49.724 --> 00:21:51.092
  • We wanna be people who have lived life well.
  • 00:21:51.092 --> 00:21:53.961
  • And the audience we're trying to please is not some secular, it's
  • 00:21:53.961 --> 00:21:57.531
  • Not to be "time's" person of the year, or to be celebrated as
  • 00:21:57.531 --> 00:22:03.104
  • Somebody that's gone viral.
  • 00:22:03.104 --> 00:22:05.906
  • In the halls of heaven, we want to be highly esteemed.
  • 00:22:05.906 --> 00:22:13.781
  • When the rewards are handed out, you want it to be evident that,
  • 00:22:13.781 --> 00:22:19.086
  • Although you may have been overlooked by many and you may
  • 00:22:19.086 --> 00:22:22.223
  • Have labored in a place that others thought were small or
  • 00:22:22.223 --> 00:22:25.893
  • Insignificant, that god himself said that you were of
  • 00:22:25.893 --> 00:22:29.597
  • Tremendous value.
  • 00:22:29.597 --> 00:22:32.600
  • Remember the widow making her gift on the temple mount?
  • 00:22:32.600 --> 00:22:36.437
  • Jesus gathered the disciples and he said, "did you see that?
  • 00:22:36.437 --> 00:22:40.775
  • That tremendous gift?
  • 00:22:40.775 --> 00:22:43.177
  • Did you see that tremendous gift?"
  • 00:22:43.177 --> 00:22:46.680
  • The disciples, "what are you talking about?
  • 00:22:46.680 --> 00:22:49.650
  • She dropped in a little bit.
  • 00:22:49.650 --> 00:22:51.786
  • There have been some big gifts maybe, but it wasn't hers," and
  • 00:22:51.786 --> 00:22:53.654
  • Jesus said, "no, no, no, you don't understand.
  • 00:22:53.654 --> 00:22:56.257
  • She just made a tremendous sacrifice."
  • 00:22:56.257 --> 00:23:01.462
  • See, we don't serve the lord for other people to applaud.
  • 00:23:01.462 --> 00:23:05.900
  • Like, it makes me a bit more anxious when there's applause.
  • 00:23:05.900 --> 00:23:11.172
  • I'll give you a--i learned it, it's not original with me.
  • 00:23:11.172 --> 00:23:14.008
  • I'll give you something that might be helpful to you.
  • 00:23:14.008 --> 00:23:16.210
  • Corrie ten boom, do you know corrie?
  • 00:23:16.210 --> 00:23:19.914
  • After her experience and she's out of--she's released on a
  • 00:23:19.914 --> 00:23:22.917
  • Clerical error from the camp the day before she is to be
  • 00:23:22.917 --> 00:23:26.253
  • Executed, and god opened the world to her.
  • 00:23:26.253 --> 00:23:29.423
  • Corrie traveled around the world, telling about the grace
  • 00:23:29.423 --> 00:23:31.559
  • And mercy of god and the faith of her sister and her family.
  • 00:23:31.559 --> 00:23:36.864
  • She told the story that people would come up to her and saying,
  • 00:23:36.864 --> 00:23:39.066
  • You know, "miss ten boom, your testimony's changed my life,"
  • 00:23:39.066 --> 00:23:42.970
  • And all these things, and she said, "i was so uncomfortable
  • 00:23:42.970 --> 00:23:45.306
  • With the kind things that people were saying and i didn't know
  • 00:23:45.306 --> 00:23:47.708
  • What to do."
  • 00:23:47.708 --> 00:23:51.445
  • And she said, "i learned to collect their kind sayings as if
  • 00:23:51.445 --> 00:23:56.183
  • I were collecting flowers."
  • 00:23:56.183 --> 00:23:58.786
  • She was dutch, "as if i were collecting a bouquet of tulips."
  • 00:23:58.786 --> 00:24:03.224
  • And she said, "at the end of the day, i would offer the bouquet
  • 00:24:03.224 --> 00:24:05.626
  • To god."
  • 00:24:05.626 --> 00:24:10.764
  • Good habit.
  • 00:24:10.764 --> 00:24:12.967
  • If you offer a prayer and god does something and somebody
  • 00:24:12.967 --> 00:24:15.870
  • Comes in, "wow," say thank you.
  • 00:24:15.870 --> 00:24:20.674
  • God is so faithful.
  • 00:24:20.674 --> 00:24:22.977
  • And then at the end of the day, hand god the bouquet.
  • 00:24:22.977 --> 00:24:28.282
  • Because you and i both know we couldn't heal the gnat's
  • 00:24:28.282 --> 00:24:30.351
  • Wing, remember?
  • 00:24:30.351 --> 00:24:32.253
  • We're out there winding up.
  • 00:24:32.253 --> 00:24:34.855
  • And the angels are sniggering, "what's he think he's gonna do?
  • 00:24:34.855 --> 00:24:36.857
  • He's gonna throw his shoulder out of socket."
  • 00:24:36.857 --> 00:24:43.364
  • Let's pray.
  • 00:24:43.364 --> 00:24:45.699
  • Let's pray, let's cover our community with prayers.
  • 00:24:45.699 --> 00:24:49.503
  • Let's cover our nation with prayers.
  • 00:24:49.503 --> 00:24:51.071
  • Let's cover the church with prayers.
  • 00:24:51.071 --> 00:24:53.674
  • Think of all the places we would make a difference if we would
  • 00:24:53.674 --> 00:24:56.644
  • Just take those simple eight prayers that you've got in
  • 00:24:56.644 --> 00:24:59.980
  • Your phone.
  • 00:24:59.980 --> 00:25:05.553
  • Let's close with a prayer. why don't you stand with me.
  • 00:25:05.553 --> 00:25:12.426
  • You found it?
  • 00:25:15.829 --> 00:25:18.265
  • Together: "heavenly father, give us a spirit of prayer
  • 00:25:18.265 --> 00:25:22.570
  • And intercession.
  • 00:25:22.570 --> 00:25:24.204
  • Open our hearts to the reality of your kingdom and purposes.
  • 00:25:24.204 --> 00:25:28.576
  • Give us boldness as we live for you.
  • 00:25:28.576 --> 00:25:31.478
  • Manifest your glory in our midst that others may see the majesty
  • 00:25:31.478 --> 00:25:36.517
  • And glory of our god.
  • 00:25:36.517 --> 00:25:39.019
  • May your name be praised and your purposes break forth in
  • 00:25:39.019 --> 00:25:42.990
  • This generation, in jesus' name, amen."
  • 00:25:42.990 --> 00:25:47.795
  • God bless you.
  • 00:25:47.795 --> 00:25:49.163
  • Allen: the most impactful part of faith in my life have been
  • 00:25:52.933 --> 00:25:56.070
  • Those tools that i've learned that enabled me to take my faith
  • 00:25:56.070 --> 00:25:59.506
  • And actually live it out.
  • 00:25:59.506 --> 00:26:01.375
  • Well, i know as a pastor the things that are most impactful
  • 00:26:01.375 --> 00:26:03.544
  • In the community i serve or the things that the congregation can
  • 00:26:03.544 --> 00:26:06.280
  • Take away from the church building so that they can lead
  • 00:26:06.280 --> 00:26:08.983
  • With their faith, whether it's parents in their homes or in the
  • 00:26:08.983 --> 00:26:11.919
  • Marketplace or when we're with our friends.
  • 00:26:11.919 --> 00:26:14.188
  • But we've got a new tool that i think will be a blessing to you.
  • 00:26:14.188 --> 00:26:16.290
  • They're conversation cards, intended to help you lead with
  • 00:26:16.290 --> 00:26:18.859
  • Your faith.
  • 00:26:18.859 --> 00:26:20.194
  • They're bundled around different contexts, whether it's a small
  • 00:26:20.194 --> 00:26:22.730
  • Group, christian friends, whether it's family, for its
  • 00:26:22.730 --> 00:26:25.299
  • Younger people, but they're really intended to enable you to
  • 00:26:25.299 --> 00:26:28.469
  • Have some ideas to help start a conversation and sustain it
  • 00:26:28.469 --> 00:26:32.139
  • Around leading with your faith.
  • 00:26:32.139 --> 00:26:33.874
  • We've got to take our faith outside the walls of the church
  • 00:26:33.874 --> 00:26:36.644
  • Beyond the times of the worship center.
  • 00:26:36.644 --> 00:26:38.612
  • We're not just quoting scriptures or judging
  • 00:26:38.612 --> 00:26:40.514
  • People's behavior.
  • 00:26:40.514 --> 00:26:41.882
  • We're trying to engage a conversation that introduces
  • 00:26:41.882 --> 00:26:44.718
  • Them to a thought about an almighty god.
  • 00:26:44.718 --> 00:26:47.821
  • They're a powerful tool and i believe they'll be a blessing
  • 00:26:47.821 --> 00:26:50.124
  • To you.
