  • ...
  • 00:00:00.633 --> 00:00:00.392
  • Allen jackson: one of my heroes in the bible is saul of tarsus.
  • 00:00:00.492 --> 00:00:03.962
  • He becomes the apostle paul.
  • 00:00:04.096 --> 00:00:05.330
  • I know you know his story.
  • 00:00:05.464 --> 00:00:05.898
  • He's written two-thirds of our new testament by title, one of
  • 00:00:07.266 --> 00:00:11.703
  • The most remarkable characters we meet in all of the scripture.
  • 00:00:11.703 --> 00:00:14.073
  • He was a pharisee with a remarkable education, brilliant
  • 00:00:14.073 --> 00:00:17.342
  • Mind, and he hated jesus and jesus followers.
  • 00:00:17.342 --> 00:00:21.380
  • Until he met jesus one day.
  • 00:00:21.380 --> 00:00:23.015
  • He's on the road to damascus and jesus interrupts his life and he
  • 00:00:23.015 --> 00:00:26.919
  • Becomes the apostle paul, one of the most powerful voices for
  • 00:00:26.919 --> 00:00:30.789
  • Jesus that history has ever known.
  • 00:00:30.789 --> 00:00:33.492
  • We've put together a 90-day devotional.
  • 00:00:33.492 --> 00:00:35.194
  • It's "lessons from paul."
  • 00:00:35.194 --> 00:00:37.162
  • I'm still learning from paul, and i just wanted to share it
  • 00:00:37.162 --> 00:00:39.431
  • With you.
  • 00:00:39.431 --> 00:00:40.799
  • There's a little--there's a scripture verse, there's a bit
  • 00:00:40.799 --> 00:00:42.134
  • Of a devotional.
  • 00:00:42.134 --> 00:00:43.502
  • There's a place for some journaling.
  • 00:00:43.502 --> 00:00:44.837
  • It's really intended to provide some direction so that you and i
  • 00:00:44.837 --> 00:00:47.473
  • Become overcomers, overcomers of our past, overcomers of the
  • 00:00:47.473 --> 00:00:50.943
  • Opposition in the present.
  • 00:00:50.943 --> 00:00:52.711
  • Doesn't matter what the adversary is, the power of god
  • 00:00:52.711 --> 00:00:55.114
  • That delivered paul, he'll deliver you and me.
  • 00:00:55.114 --> 00:00:57.916
  • I believe you'll enjoy "lessons from paul."
  • 00:00:57.916 --> 00:01:02.588
  • Allen: we've been working through a series
  • 00:01:06.525 --> 00:01:08.060
  • Called "breakthrough."
  • 00:01:08.060 --> 00:01:10.762
  • And in this session, i want to talk to you about "new wine."
  • 00:01:10.762 --> 00:01:13.332
  • There are no samples in the building.
  • 00:01:13.332 --> 00:01:15.434
  • [congregation laughing]
  • 00:01:15.434 --> 00:01:21.373
  • I've been encouraging you to revisit this little paradigm
  • 00:01:21.373 --> 00:01:24.143
  • That we have lived with for some time now about watch, listen,
  • 00:01:24.143 --> 00:01:27.212
  • Think, and act.
  • 00:01:27.212 --> 00:01:28.914
  • We live in a time when there is tremendous deception.
  • 00:01:28.914 --> 00:01:33.919
  • And if you're going to avoid deception and fulfill god's
  • 00:01:33.919 --> 00:01:36.722
  • Purposes for your lives, there are two or three things that are
  • 00:01:36.722 --> 00:01:38.957
  • Just absolutely essential.
  • 00:01:38.957 --> 00:01:41.093
  • I believe you have to consistently read your bible.
  • 00:01:41.093 --> 00:01:44.830
  • If you're not doing that, you're adrift, you're losing ground.
  • 00:01:44.830 --> 00:01:49.001
  • You need to be in community.
  • 00:01:49.001 --> 00:01:50.335
  • You need to be in a community of like-minded people with the
  • 00:01:50.335 --> 00:01:52.638
  • Desire to honor the lord, and then you have to invest some
  • 00:01:52.638 --> 00:01:56.742
  • Time and energy to watch and listen to the world around you.
  • 00:01:56.742 --> 00:02:00.212
  • You can't afford to just withdraw.
  • 00:02:00.212 --> 00:02:03.048
  • Or you're ill-equipped, you're unprepared, you're really
  • 00:02:03.048 --> 00:02:05.117
  • Incapable of being salt and light.
  • 00:02:05.117 --> 00:02:08.287
  • Jesus said nobody lights a lamp and then puts it under a basket.
  • 00:02:08.287 --> 00:02:11.557
  • And if we just huddle in our churches and huddle with
  • 00:02:11.557 --> 00:02:13.525
  • Like-minded people who repeat the phrases that we like the
  • 00:02:13.525 --> 00:02:15.961
  • Most, you're under a basket.
  • 00:02:15.961 --> 00:02:18.764
  • We have to watch and listen and actually think because
  • 00:02:18.764 --> 00:02:22.968
  • Everything we're told is not particularly accurate.
  • 00:02:22.968 --> 00:02:26.205
  • And then be willing to act on it.
  • 00:02:26.205 --> 00:02:29.007
  • I think we're witnessing a unique shaking, a unique,
  • 00:02:29.007 --> 00:02:32.611
  • Really, i believe, a season of opportunity, certainly unlike
  • 00:02:32.611 --> 00:02:35.814
  • Anything in my lifetime, where there's a great contest between
  • 00:02:35.814 --> 00:02:40.485
  • Values of the kingdom of god and the values of this present age.
  • 00:02:40.485 --> 00:02:43.222
  • You don't have to have much discernment to see that.
  • 00:02:43.222 --> 00:02:47.092
  • Tragically, i'm gonna suggest that we have capitulated for so
  • 00:02:47.092 --> 00:02:50.295
  • Long, those of us amongst the christian community, at least
  • 00:02:50.295 --> 00:02:53.532
  • Those of us who have gathered in churches.
  • 00:02:53.532 --> 00:02:55.534
  • Sitting in a church does not make you a christian, folks.
  • 00:02:55.534 --> 00:02:59.605
  • I have a membership at the gym.
  • 00:02:59.605 --> 00:03:00.939
  • That does not make me a world-class athlete.
  • 00:03:00.939 --> 00:03:04.142
  • That makes me a fluffy southerner with a membership at
  • 00:03:04.142 --> 00:03:06.378
  • A gym.
  • 00:03:06.378 --> 00:03:10.649
  • We've capitulated for so long that it seems inappropriate to
  • 00:03:10.649 --> 00:03:14.152
  • Express our support, to even express support for
  • 00:03:14.152 --> 00:03:17.923
  • Judeo-christian worldview.
  • 00:03:17.923 --> 00:03:19.291
  • We think, well, maybe i shouldn't say that.
  • 00:03:19.291 --> 00:03:21.727
  • Yes, you should say that.
  • 00:03:21.727 --> 00:03:24.896
  • It's not inappropriate to agree with god's word.
  • 00:03:24.896 --> 00:03:28.834
  • Even if it puts you at odds with harvard or yale or purveyors of
  • 00:03:28.834 --> 00:03:35.407
  • Conventional wisdom.
  • 00:03:35.407 --> 00:03:38.677
  • We have been without courage for far too long.
  • 00:03:38.677 --> 00:03:42.047
  • There are things around us that should not be confusing.
  • 00:03:42.047 --> 00:03:44.983
  • Biological sex is not confusing. [congregation laughing]
  • 00:03:44.983 --> 00:03:53.492
  • And i have tremendous compassion for people who are confused
  • 00:03:53.492 --> 00:03:56.395
  • Around those issues, but i will not be a part of adding to that
  • 00:03:56.395 --> 00:03:59.498
  • Confusion or imagine that we would surrender a generation of
  • 00:03:59.498 --> 00:04:03.402
  • Young people to be preyed upon by people who would profit from
  • 00:04:03.402 --> 00:04:07.005
  • Fomenting that kind of confusion.
  • 00:04:07.005 --> 00:04:08.974
  • It's evil.
  • 00:04:08.974 --> 00:04:10.676
  • And the church has to have a voice to be willing to say
  • 00:04:10.676 --> 00:04:13.245
  • Those things.
  • 00:04:13.245 --> 00:04:14.646
  • So the conversation is "breakthroughs," and what i have
  • 00:04:14.646 --> 00:04:17.115
  • Submitted to you is that breakthroughs are those points
  • 00:04:17.115 --> 00:04:19.384
  • Where we can see interventions from god in our lives.
  • 00:04:19.384 --> 00:04:22.554
  • We all need them.
  • 00:04:22.554 --> 00:04:24.923
  • Really, my motivation for this series was the awareness i--we
  • 00:04:24.923 --> 00:04:28.393
  • Do life together.
  • 00:04:28.393 --> 00:04:30.996
  • We talk and i listen and we interact and we pray, and
  • 00:04:30.996 --> 00:04:35.634
  • Scattered all over campus are men and women and families who
  • 00:04:35.634 --> 00:04:39.338
  • Desperately need breakthroughs from god.
  • 00:04:39.338 --> 00:04:43.175
  • There's not an acceptable outcome without
  • 00:04:43.175 --> 00:04:45.043
  • God's intervention.
  • 00:04:45.043 --> 00:04:46.411
  • We're not gonna work our way through it.
  • 00:04:46.411 --> 00:04:48.080
  • We're not going to organize our way through it.
  • 00:04:48.080 --> 00:04:50.115
  • We need god's help.
  • 00:04:50.115 --> 00:04:52.551
  • And god's interventions are not just random.
  • 00:04:52.551 --> 00:04:56.755
  • God's not mean-spirited.
  • 00:04:56.755 --> 00:04:58.857
  • The point of this book is to help us understand his character
  • 00:04:58.857 --> 00:05:01.526
  • So that we might understand how we can cooperate with him
  • 00:05:01.526 --> 00:05:04.463
  • More fully.
  • 00:05:04.463 --> 00:05:06.998
  • I have a habit.
  • 00:05:06.998 --> 00:05:08.367
  • I don't--you may or may not have this: when technology
  • 00:05:08.367 --> 00:05:10.302
  • Doesn't work for me, i blame the technology.
  • 00:05:10.302 --> 00:05:15.140
  • My phone is not working.
  • 00:05:15.140 --> 00:05:18.744
  • My computer is not cooperating.
  • 00:05:18.744 --> 00:05:21.780
  • Now, i haven't done anything to it.
  • 00:05:21.780 --> 00:05:27.719
  • It has just randomly targeted me.
  • 00:05:27.719 --> 00:05:32.557
  • It's unfair.
  • 00:05:32.557 --> 00:05:33.892
  • I'm unhappy about it.
  • 00:05:33.892 --> 00:05:37.262
  • I feel sorry for the people that have to come to my aid because
  • 00:05:37.262 --> 00:05:40.265
  • They have to kindly tell me i screwed it up again.
  • 00:05:40.265 --> 00:05:45.337
  • I mean, to the point now where the first question is always the
  • 00:05:45.337 --> 00:05:47.939
  • Same, right?
  • 00:05:47.939 --> 00:05:50.108
  • "have you turned it off and turned it back on?"
  • 00:05:50.108 --> 00:05:56.581
  • And it's so embarrassing if you've forgotten to do that, you
  • 00:05:56.581 --> 00:05:59.017
  • Almost just wanna lie and go, "yeah."
  • 00:05:59.017 --> 00:06:05.857
  • We're a little bit like that with god.
  • 00:06:05.857 --> 00:06:08.560
  • We want him to do what we want when we want, the way we want,
  • 00:06:08.560 --> 00:06:11.263
  • And we don't think we have any role to play in that whatsoever.
  • 00:06:11.263 --> 00:06:14.766
  • That's not biblical.
  • 00:06:14.766 --> 00:06:16.568
  • So we've been exploring this idea of breakthroughs, god's
  • 00:06:16.568 --> 00:06:18.904
  • Interventions, to see if we could understand them more
  • 00:06:18.904 --> 00:06:20.972
  • Fully, so that we might cooperate, even facilitate them
  • 00:06:20.972 --> 00:06:24.543
  • Or recognize them when their opportunities are present
  • 00:06:24.543 --> 00:06:27.879
  • Around us.
  • 00:06:27.879 --> 00:06:29.247
  • I'm convinced we can walk past god opportunities on a
  • 00:06:29.247 --> 00:06:32.184
  • Regular basis.
  • 00:06:32.184 --> 00:06:35.620
  • So i'll start with a verse in your notes.
  • 00:06:35.620 --> 00:06:37.055
  • It's luke 5. jesus is speaking.
  • 00:06:37.055 --> 00:06:38.824
  • He said, "no one pours new wine into old wineskins.
  • 00:06:38.824 --> 00:06:42.093
  • If he does, the new wine will burst the skins, the wine will
  • 00:06:42.093 --> 00:06:44.896
  • Run out and the wineskins will be ruined.
  • 00:06:44.896 --> 00:06:47.199
  • New wine must be poured into new wineskins."
  • 00:06:47.199 --> 00:06:49.835
  • When grape juice ferments, gas is released, it expands.
  • 00:06:49.835 --> 00:06:53.839
  • If it's an old wineskin with no elasticity, it will rupture and
  • 00:06:53.839 --> 00:06:57.509
  • Everything will be lost.
  • 00:06:57.509 --> 00:06:58.877
  • If it's a new wineskin, the skin can stretch to accommodate
  • 00:06:58.877 --> 00:07:02.614
  • The fermentation.
  • 00:07:02.614 --> 00:07:04.816
  • So when god's doing something new, it requires
  • 00:07:04.816 --> 00:07:07.285
  • Some elasticity.
  • 00:07:07.285 --> 00:07:09.955
  • Oh, change!
  • 00:07:09.955 --> 00:07:14.192
  • What an ugly word.
  • 00:07:14.192 --> 00:07:16.761
  • The breakthroughs are about change.
  • 00:07:16.761 --> 00:07:18.163
  • See, here's the problem we have: we don't want to change, we just
  • 00:07:18.163 --> 00:07:21.132
  • Want god to make our problem go away.
  • 00:07:21.132 --> 00:07:24.436
  • We want god to cause goliath to vaporize.
  • 00:07:24.436 --> 00:07:28.940
  • We don't want to have to go to the brook and find five small
  • 00:07:28.940 --> 00:07:31.309
  • Stones and walk down onto the battlefield and say, "today
  • 00:07:31.309 --> 00:07:34.379
  • You're mine."
  • 00:07:34.379 --> 00:07:35.747
  • We just want goliath to decide to go home.
  • 00:07:35.747 --> 00:07:40.051
  • We don't wanna have to have a confrontation on mount carmel
  • 00:07:40.051 --> 00:07:43.221
  • With the people of god who are rebellious and stubborn and
  • 00:07:43.221 --> 00:07:47.292
  • Self-absorbed and idolatrous.
  • 00:07:47.292 --> 00:07:50.562
  • We just want god to pour out his spirit and there be a revival.
  • 00:07:50.562 --> 00:07:56.201
  • We don't have to run--wanna run from queen jezebel when she
  • 00:07:56.201 --> 00:07:59.804
  • Said, "i'll have your head tomorrow."
  • 00:07:59.804 --> 00:08:02.007
  • We want god to just remove her, we want breakthroughs.
  • 00:08:02.007 --> 00:08:06.711
  • And god said, "i'll intervene, but you're going to be a part of
  • 00:08:06.711 --> 00:08:11.149
  • The change."
  • 00:08:11.149 --> 00:08:13.385
  • Breakthroughs, new wine, new wineskins.
  • 00:08:13.385 --> 00:08:17.589
  • God is moving in the earth in a truly fresh way, unlike anything
  • 00:08:17.589 --> 00:08:22.561
  • I have ever seen or experienced.
  • 00:08:22.561 --> 00:08:25.397
  • And i've been around a bit.
  • 00:08:25.397 --> 00:08:28.066
  • So my suggestion, my encouragement, my invitation to
  • 00:08:28.066 --> 00:08:31.269
  • You is don't just remain an observer.
  • 00:08:31.269 --> 00:08:35.640
  • Begin to say yes to the lord in new ways.
  • 00:08:35.640 --> 00:08:38.643
  • Make room for god in your life in a new way.
  • 00:08:38.643 --> 00:08:41.413
  • "well, i'm born again."
  • 00:08:41.413 --> 00:08:42.781
  • I'm happy, wonderful.
  • 00:08:42.781 --> 00:08:46.651
  • It doesn't mean you're spiritually healthy.
  • 00:08:46.651 --> 00:08:50.088
  • It's like saying, "i'm alive, i've been born," good.
  • 00:08:50.088 --> 00:08:53.024
  • How about let's do something to be healthier?
  • 00:08:53.024 --> 00:08:56.461
  • Well, if we'll do it physically, let's do it spiritually.
  • 00:08:56.461 --> 00:08:59.698
  • You up for the journey?
  • 00:08:59.698 --> 00:09:02.067
  • Breakthroughs come in many ways, many perspectives.
  • 00:09:02.067 --> 00:09:05.570
  • Sometimes they're about deliverance, sometimes it's
  • 00:09:05.570 --> 00:09:07.339
  • About revelation, sometimes it's an insight, sometimes it's
  • 00:09:07.339 --> 00:09:10.375
  • Understanding, sometimes it's a complete redirection, don't go
  • 00:09:10.375 --> 00:09:13.278
  • That way, go this way.
  • 00:09:13.278 --> 00:09:15.680
  • Oftentimes it's when god's purposes and plans are
  • 00:09:15.680 --> 00:09:18.116
  • Initiated, completed, revealed, advanced, welcomed, understood.
  • 00:09:18.116 --> 00:09:23.288
  • It's almost always disruptive.
  • 00:09:23.288 --> 00:09:27.225
  • We tend to think the devil's the one that disrupts our lives.
  • 00:09:27.225 --> 00:09:31.062
  • God is far more disruptive than the devil.
  • 00:09:31.062 --> 00:09:36.935
  • The power, the momentum of our carnal, selfish, earthly, adamic
  • 00:09:36.935 --> 00:09:41.840
  • Self, all words used in scripture, is difficult to
  • 00:09:41.840 --> 00:09:46.244
  • Estimate accurately.
  • 00:09:46.244 --> 00:09:47.712
  • We just want our way.
  • 00:09:47.712 --> 00:09:50.715
  • And god's blessing.
  • 00:09:50.715 --> 00:09:54.519
  • And god said, "i love you too much for that.
  • 00:09:54.519 --> 00:09:57.656
  • I love you too much for that."
  • 00:09:57.656 --> 00:10:00.125
  • Breakthroughs.
  • 00:10:00.125 --> 00:10:02.227
  • We've been looking at some familiar characters on this
  • 00:10:02.227 --> 00:10:04.496
  • Breakthrough journey, and i wanna go back to some that are
  • 00:10:04.496 --> 00:10:06.765
  • Part of the narrative for this unique season of the year.
  • 00:10:06.765 --> 00:10:11.336
  • They're not new to you, and i like that.
  • 00:10:11.336 --> 00:10:12.804
  • We can touch it a little more quickly.
  • 00:10:12.804 --> 00:10:14.806
  • We're gonna look at zechariah and elizabeth.
  • 00:10:14.806 --> 00:10:16.675
  • They're the parents of john the baptist, if you don't know.
  • 00:10:16.675 --> 00:10:19.644
  • Zechariah is a priest.
  • 00:10:19.644 --> 00:10:21.513
  • It's a very godly family.
  • 00:10:21.513 --> 00:10:23.648
  • They're not reprobate.
  • 00:10:23.648 --> 00:10:24.983
  • They're not backslidden, they're not pagans, they're
  • 00:10:24.983 --> 00:10:26.718
  • Not compromised.
  • 00:10:26.718 --> 00:10:28.286
  • There's no inclination, no indication in scripture that
  • 00:10:28.286 --> 00:10:30.922
  • They've done anything inappropriate, wrong.
  • 00:10:30.922 --> 00:10:32.824
  • It's not a corrective for them, but they need a breakthrough.
  • 00:10:32.824 --> 00:10:38.029
  • They need a breakthrough.
  • 00:10:38.029 --> 00:10:39.597
  • And god provides one, but it isn't what i would
  • 00:10:39.597 --> 00:10:41.833
  • Have expected.
  • 00:10:41.833 --> 00:10:43.201
  • It isn't what i would have asked for.
  • 00:10:43.201 --> 00:10:47.005
  • It starts with a rather unexpected invitation, and if
  • 00:10:47.005 --> 00:10:49.441
  • You'll allow me, i think the reality is when god--when this
  • 00:10:49.441 --> 00:10:52.610
  • Breakthrough comes, they have already lost all hope.
  • 00:10:52.610 --> 00:10:56.481
  • I think you'll hear that as we read it.
  • 00:10:56.481 --> 00:10:59.350
  • All hope is gone.
  • 00:10:59.350 --> 00:11:01.753
  • So they're not standing in faith, they're not
  • 00:11:01.753 --> 00:11:04.289
  • Proclaiming something.
  • 00:11:04.289 --> 00:11:06.458
  • The window has closed.
  • 00:11:06.458 --> 00:11:08.293
  • They have no imagination.
  • 00:11:08.293 --> 00:11:12.564
  • And then god steps in.
  • 00:11:12.564 --> 00:11:14.132
  • That's really disruptive.
  • 00:11:14.132 --> 00:11:16.801
  • "you know, god, i used to hope, i used to think, i used to want,
  • 00:11:16.801 --> 00:11:19.571
  • I used to dream, i used to talk to you about this stuff, but
  • 00:11:19.571 --> 00:11:23.141
  • God, i've moved on, i've kind of let that heal.
  • 00:11:23.141 --> 00:11:25.910
  • I've got a new plan."
  • 00:11:25.910 --> 00:11:29.581
  • I bet some of you have places that you've just closed off.
  • 00:11:29.581 --> 00:11:32.250
  • I used to think god might do this.
  • 00:11:32.250 --> 00:11:33.785
  • I used to hope he would do this, but i've shut that down.
  • 00:11:33.785 --> 00:11:36.721
  • I don't have that hope anymore.
  • 00:11:36.721 --> 00:11:41.292
  • It's luke chapter 1: "when zechariah--" zechariah is a
  • 00:11:41.292 --> 00:11:45.663
  • Priest, he's serving in the temple and he has a visit from
  • 00:11:45.663 --> 00:11:47.866
  • An angel, an archangel, gabriel.
  • 00:11:47.866 --> 00:11:52.437
  • "when he saw gabriel, he was startled and he was gripped
  • 00:11:52.437 --> 00:11:54.706
  • With fear.
  • 00:11:54.706 --> 00:11:56.241
  • But the angel said to him: 'don't be afraid, zechariah;
  • 00:11:56.241 --> 00:11:58.877
  • Your prayer's been heard.
  • 00:11:58.877 --> 00:12:00.211
  • Your wife elizabeth will bear you a son, and you're to give
  • 00:12:00.211 --> 00:12:02.981
  • Him the name john.'"
  • 00:12:02.981 --> 00:12:04.816
  • You know, time is something god created for us.
  • 00:12:04.816 --> 00:12:08.953
  • It's really beyond me to a great extent, but god is not
  • 00:12:08.953 --> 00:12:13.792
  • A creature of time.
  • 00:12:13.792 --> 00:12:15.126
  • God's eternal.
  • 00:12:15.126 --> 00:12:17.495
  • And when the--when gabriel speaks to zechariah, he said,
  • 00:12:17.495 --> 00:12:20.131
  • "your prayer has been heard," and it makes it sound like,
  • 00:12:20.131 --> 00:12:22.367
  • Well, he prayed yesterday.
  • 00:12:22.367 --> 00:12:25.103
  • But it's gonna be very clear as we read through this passage
  • 00:12:25.103 --> 00:12:27.472
  • That the prayer zechariah had prayed was some time ago, years.
  • 00:12:27.472 --> 00:12:33.878
  • I don't want you to lose that.
  • 00:12:33.878 --> 00:12:35.213
  • Let's push forward.
  • 00:12:35.213 --> 00:12:36.581
  • Verse 14: "'he'll be a joy and a delight to you, and
  • 00:12:36.581 --> 00:12:38.850
  • You'll rejoice.
  • 00:12:38.850 --> 00:12:40.185
  • Many will rejoice because of his birth.
  • 00:12:40.185 --> 00:12:41.853
  • He'll be great in the sight of the lord.
  • 00:12:41.853 --> 00:12:43.188
  • He's never to take wine or fermented drink, and he'll be
  • 00:12:43.188 --> 00:12:45.323
  • Filled with the holy spirit.
  • 00:12:45.323 --> 00:12:46.891
  • Many of the people of israel, he'll bring back to the lord
  • 00:12:46.891 --> 00:12:48.927
  • Their god.'"
  • 00:12:48.927 --> 00:12:50.261
  • I mean, that's a pretty good resume for your kid.
  • 00:12:50.261 --> 00:12:53.998
  • "'he'll go on before the lord, in the spirit and the power of
  • 00:12:53.998 --> 00:12:56.267
  • Elijah, to turn the hearts of the fathers to their children,
  • 00:12:56.267 --> 00:12:58.369
  • The disobedient to the wisdom of the righteous--to make ready a
  • 00:12:58.369 --> 00:13:00.638
  • People prepared for the lord.'"
  • 00:13:00.638 --> 00:13:04.309
  • And zechariah interrupts: "i have a question.
  • 00:13:04.309 --> 00:13:12.684
  • How can i be sure of this?
  • 00:13:12.684 --> 00:13:14.853
  • I'm an old man and my wife, let's just say she's well along
  • 00:13:14.853 --> 00:13:22.560
  • In years."
  • 00:13:22.560 --> 00:13:26.064
  • That's the point where i say this isn't a prayer that is
  • 00:13:26.064 --> 00:13:28.967
  • Contemporary for zach.
  • 00:13:28.967 --> 00:13:30.335
  • That's not the prayer he prayed in the temple that morning.
  • 00:13:30.335 --> 00:13:34.672
  • "for real?
  • 00:13:34.672 --> 00:13:36.307
  • I'm old.
  • 00:13:36.307 --> 00:13:38.142
  • And elizabeth, she's mature."
  • 00:13:38.142 --> 00:13:44.082
  • "and the angel answered, 'i'm gabriel.
  • 00:13:44.082 --> 00:13:46.017
  • I stand in the presence of god, and i've been sent to speak to
  • 00:13:46.017 --> 00:13:48.720
  • You and to tell you this good news.'"
  • 00:13:48.720 --> 00:13:50.688
  • It's a breakthrough.
  • 00:13:50.688 --> 00:13:53.324
  • God said, "i'm gonna do something in your life that you
  • 00:13:53.324 --> 00:13:57.262
  • Couldn't do for yourself.
  • 00:13:57.262 --> 00:13:59.364
  • It's a response to a prayer you have prayed."
  • 00:13:59.364 --> 00:14:03.768
  • I think it's worth noting the initial response of zechariah.
  • 00:14:03.768 --> 00:14:06.404
  • He's frightened.
  • 00:14:06.404 --> 00:14:08.873
  • "he's startled, gripped with fear."
  • 00:14:08.873 --> 00:14:11.242
  • "gripped with fear" is pretty strong language.
  • 00:14:11.242 --> 00:14:16.014
  • This angelic visit and his announcement is unexpected.
  • 00:14:16.014 --> 00:14:20.084
  • It's made possible by perseverance.
  • 00:14:20.084 --> 00:14:22.086
  • It's not random.
  • 00:14:22.086 --> 00:14:24.055
  • Zechariah is still serving in the temple.
  • 00:14:24.055 --> 00:14:26.357
  • Elizabeth is still walking uprightly before the lord.
  • 00:14:26.357 --> 00:14:29.294
  • They've held it together with disappointment.
  • 00:14:29.294 --> 00:14:33.564
  • Their life plan didn't unfold as their peer group's did.
  • 00:14:33.564 --> 00:14:37.135
  • They had friends that were celebrating birthday parties and
  • 00:14:37.135 --> 00:14:40.138
  • They weren't.
  • 00:14:40.138 --> 00:14:42.440
  • But they didn't abandon the path, they didn't abandon
  • 00:14:42.440 --> 00:14:45.643
  • Their faith.
  • 00:14:45.643 --> 00:14:50.048
  • Allen: hey, "lessons from paul" is a 90-day devotional: some of
  • 00:14:54.285 --> 00:14:57.722
  • My favorite verses that paul wrote, a bit of devotional time,

  • And then some place to journal.
  • 00:15:02.160 --> 00:15:04.195
  • The goal is to be changed.
  • 00:15:04.195 --> 00:15:05.563
  • We wanna be transformed by the word of god and not just
  • 00:15:05.563 --> 00:15:07.765
  • Informed by it.
  • 00:15:07.765 --> 00:15:09.434
  • Saul of tarsus, a hero of mine, i got to know him as the apostle
  • 00:15:09.434 --> 00:15:12.236
  • Paul, an unrelenting advocate for jesus in the face of
  • 00:15:12.236 --> 00:15:15.773
  • Unyielding persecution.
  • 00:15:15.773 --> 00:15:17.809

  • Allen: and i love the description of john, of the
  • 00:15:58.783 --> 00:16:00.985
  • Child that is to come.
  • 00:16:00.985 --> 00:16:02.353
  • He said, "he'll be a joy and a delight," in verse 14.
  • 00:16:02.353 --> 00:16:04.822
  • "many will rejoice because of his birth," wow.
  • 00:16:04.822 --> 00:16:09.227
  • "he'll be great in the sight of the lord."
  • 00:16:09.227 --> 00:16:11.095
  • That's big language.
  • 00:16:11.095 --> 00:16:13.331
  • Verse 15 says: "he'll never drink strong drink."
  • 00:16:13.331 --> 00:16:16.968
  • There's a special commitment, a group of the people of god who
  • 00:16:16.968 --> 00:16:22.006
  • Would make a unique vow to the lord, a covenant to the lord,
  • 00:16:22.006 --> 00:16:26.544
  • That they wouldn't--not only would they not drink wine, they
  • 00:16:26.544 --> 00:16:28.880
  • Wouldn't even eat a grape or a raisin.
  • 00:16:28.880 --> 00:16:33.518
  • You know how dangerous raisins are.
  • 00:16:33.518 --> 00:16:37.789
  • Nor would they cut their hair.
  • 00:16:37.789 --> 00:16:40.258
  • And the word in scripture, i'll show it to you, you know, it was
  • 00:16:40.258 --> 00:16:42.493
  • A nazarite, not a nazarene.
  • 00:16:42.493 --> 00:16:45.063
  • Nazarenes come from the village of nazareth where jesus would
  • 00:16:45.063 --> 00:16:48.066
  • Grow up.
  • 00:16:48.066 --> 00:16:49.400
  • Nazarites was a reference, a label, for a group of people who
  • 00:16:49.400 --> 00:16:53.538
  • Would make a special vow to the lord.
  • 00:16:53.538 --> 00:16:56.374
  • And the message to zechariah is your son is to join that group.
  • 00:16:56.374 --> 00:17:01.612
  • He will be committed to the lord from before his conception, if
  • 00:17:01.612 --> 00:17:07.418
  • You want to talk about the sanctity of human life.
  • 00:17:07.418 --> 00:17:12.757
  • God didn't say to him, you know, "you should choose this."
  • 00:17:12.757 --> 00:17:16.561
  • He said, "i brought you an instruction."
  • 00:17:16.561 --> 00:17:20.364
  • Children aren't your option.
  • 00:17:20.364 --> 00:17:23.201
  • They're a sacred trust.
  • 00:17:23.201 --> 00:17:27.872
  • John's to be a nazarite, he'll be filled with the holy spirit
  • 00:17:27.872 --> 00:17:30.808
  • Even from his birth.
  • 00:17:30.808 --> 00:17:33.111
  • He'll bring many back to the lord in the spirit and power
  • 00:17:33.111 --> 00:17:37.148
  • Of elijah.
  • 00:17:37.148 --> 00:17:38.483
  • Elijah was also a nazarite.
  • 00:17:38.483 --> 00:17:42.086
  • Not accidental analogy.
  • 00:17:42.086 --> 00:17:45.123
  • I put the passage in your notes, it's number six.
  • 00:17:45.123 --> 00:17:47.091
  • I thought it was just an interesting support.
  • 00:17:47.091 --> 00:17:49.060
  • It said: "the lord said to moses, 'speak to the israelites
  • 00:17:49.060 --> 00:17:51.362
  • And say to them: "if a man or a woman wants to make a special
  • 00:17:51.362 --> 00:17:54.499
  • Vow, a vow of separation to the lord as a nazarite, he must
  • 00:17:54.499 --> 00:17:58.836
  • Abstain from wine and other fermented drink and not drink
  • 00:17:58.836 --> 00:18:01.439
  • The vinegar made from the wine or the fermented drink."'"
  • 00:18:01.439 --> 00:18:05.209
  • Verse 5: "'"during the entire period of his vow of separation
  • 00:18:05.209 --> 00:18:07.712
  • No razor may be used on his head.
  • 00:18:07.712 --> 00:18:10.047
  • He'll be holy until the period of his separation to the
  • 00:18:10.047 --> 00:18:12.483
  • Lord is over."'"
  • 00:18:12.483 --> 00:18:14.152
  • There are times and places where god asks of us to
  • 00:18:14.152 --> 00:18:18.890
  • Separate ourselves, to make unique commitment.
  • 00:18:18.890 --> 00:18:24.595
  • I'm grateful for mercy and grace.
  • 00:18:24.595 --> 00:18:26.831
  • If you look them up, you'll probably find my picture there.
  • 00:18:26.831 --> 00:18:30.434
  • But our messaging has been so heavy, focused on those topics,
  • 00:18:30.434 --> 00:18:35.640
  • That we've almost lost the idea of serving the lord, of leaning
  • 00:18:35.640 --> 00:18:40.311
  • In, of sanctification, of separating ourselves
  • 00:18:40.311 --> 00:18:45.283
  • Intentionally, more completely, from the spirit of the age
  • 00:18:45.283 --> 00:18:49.453
  • In which we're living.
  • 00:18:49.453 --> 00:18:52.190
  • It's a breakthrough in zechariah's life.
  • 00:18:52.190 --> 00:18:55.092
  • He doesn't just say, "you're gonna have a baby."
  • 00:18:55.092 --> 00:18:58.829
  • It's a breakthrough.
  • 00:18:58.829 --> 00:19:02.567
  • He's giving birth to a breakthrough.
  • 00:19:02.567 --> 00:19:07.872
  • I mean, quite literally, elizabeth is going to give birth
  • 00:19:07.872 --> 00:19:10.308
  • To the breakthrough.
  • 00:19:10.308 --> 00:19:12.977
  • She's gonna be involved.
  • 00:19:12.977 --> 00:19:14.645
  • Is that fair?
  • 00:19:14.645 --> 00:19:16.147
  • If you're pregnant, you're involved?
  • 00:19:16.147 --> 00:19:17.515
  • Have i got this right?
  • 00:19:17.515 --> 00:19:18.849
  • I've watched.
  • 00:19:18.849 --> 00:19:20.685
  • You're transformed by that.
  • 00:19:20.685 --> 00:19:24.355
  • But i've also observed you're not really in control.
  • 00:19:24.355 --> 00:19:28.392
  • When's the baby due?
  • 00:19:28.392 --> 00:19:29.760
  • "well, we think--" right?
  • 00:19:29.760 --> 00:19:34.232
  • I think that little paradigm is pretty helpful when you are
  • 00:19:34.232 --> 00:19:37.535
  • Giving birth to a breakthrough.
  • 00:19:37.535 --> 00:19:40.271
  • You're involved, it's transformational, you're not
  • 00:19:40.271 --> 00:19:43.841
  • Gonna be the same anymore, but you also recognize you're not
  • 00:19:43.841 --> 00:19:46.844
  • Really driving this thing.
  • 00:19:46.844 --> 00:19:49.447
  • It could go many ways.
  • 00:19:49.447 --> 00:19:52.383
  • I'm vulnerable.
  • 00:19:52.383 --> 00:19:53.718
  • There's few times more vulnerable in a person's life
  • 00:19:53.718 --> 00:19:56.220
  • Than when they're pregnant.
  • 00:19:56.220 --> 00:19:59.523
  • Giving birth to a breakthrough, in this case it's a son, but the
  • 00:19:59.523 --> 00:20:02.526
  • Timing is off.
  • 00:20:02.526 --> 00:20:04.895
  • I mean, if we just process it from zechariah and elizabeth's
  • 00:20:04.895 --> 00:20:07.865
  • Standpoint, i mean, they're too old, they're not prepared.
  • 00:20:07.865 --> 00:20:11.569
  • They're too busy.
  • 00:20:11.569 --> 00:20:12.903
  • They're the only people buying nursery furniture with social
  • 00:20:12.903 --> 00:20:15.406
  • Security checks.
  • 00:20:15.406 --> 00:20:19.277
  • I mean, this is--they're supposed to be playing
  • 00:20:19.277 --> 00:20:20.645
  • More golf.
  • 00:20:20.645 --> 00:20:22.680
  • Not doing middle of the night feedings.
  • 00:20:22.680 --> 00:20:27.885
  • It's an assignment which is kingdom focused far more than
  • 00:20:27.885 --> 00:20:31.022
  • It's parentally fulfilling.
  • 00:20:31.022 --> 00:20:37.161
  • Breakthroughs, god initiated, and "i trust you.
  • 00:20:37.161 --> 00:20:41.465
  • Your character has been tried and tested and revealed.
  • 00:20:41.465 --> 00:20:45.603
  • I have an assignment that needs strength of character and
  • 00:20:45.603 --> 00:20:48.906
  • Attention to spiritual formation to help a young person maintain
  • 00:20:48.906 --> 00:20:52.677
  • His momentum, to deliver a message that is essential, and
  • 00:20:52.677 --> 00:20:56.147
  • You can do it."
  • 00:20:56.147 --> 00:20:59.450
  • It's required a delay, you've had to overcome
  • 00:20:59.450 --> 00:21:01.952
  • Some disappointment.
  • 00:21:01.952 --> 00:21:04.121
  • Please don't let disappointment choke the purposes of god
  • 00:21:04.121 --> 00:21:07.925
  • From you.
  • 00:21:07.925 --> 00:21:09.827
  • Don't let frustration and circumstances or events rob you
  • 00:21:09.827 --> 00:21:13.964
  • Of what god would do in your life.
  • 00:21:13.964 --> 00:21:18.836
  • The enemy is so at work to get us to focus our attention on
  • 00:21:18.836 --> 00:21:22.273
  • Somebody else, and they got a better opportunity or a better
  • 00:21:22.273 --> 00:21:24.675
  • Chance or their picket fence is better than my picket fence.
  • 00:21:24.675 --> 00:21:29.246
  • Even their dog behaves.
  • 00:21:29.246 --> 00:21:35.653
  • The devil will do whatever he can do to resist, delay,
  • 00:21:35.653 --> 00:21:40.091
  • Impede, discourage.
  • 00:21:40.091 --> 00:21:45.429
  • Zechariah said, "okay."
  • 00:21:45.429 --> 00:21:50.868
  • In luke chapter 1, same story.
  • 00:21:50.868 --> 00:21:55.139
  • Elizabeth is mary's aunt, so mary has the same--has a visit
  • 00:21:55.139 --> 00:21:59.510
  • With the same angel, and she says to gabriel, "i'm the
  • 00:21:59.510 --> 00:22:01.779
  • Lord's servant.
  • 00:22:01.779 --> 00:22:03.147
  • May it be to me as you have said."
  • 00:22:03.147 --> 00:22:04.482
  • When the angel left her, says: "at that time mary got ready and
  • 00:22:04.482 --> 00:22:07.385
  • Hurried to a town in the hill country of judea."
  • 00:22:07.385 --> 00:22:10.221
  • Elizabeth lives near jerusalem.
  • 00:22:10.221 --> 00:22:11.956
  • Mary lived in the hills of galilee in the north.
  • 00:22:11.956 --> 00:22:14.091
  • It's a several-day journey, and when gabriel leaves, it says she
  • 00:22:14.091 --> 00:22:17.561
  • Hurried out of town to go see her aunt, who's an old woman
  • 00:22:17.561 --> 00:22:21.766
  • And pregnant.
  • 00:22:21.766 --> 00:22:23.734
  • And mary has a pregnancy story and she's the only person she
  • 00:22:23.734 --> 00:22:26.570
  • Could think of that might understand.
  • 00:22:26.570 --> 00:22:29.373
  • Because only god could have caused aunt elizabeth to be in
  • 00:22:29.373 --> 00:22:33.778
  • A family way.
  • 00:22:33.778 --> 00:22:37.515
  • "mary got ready and hurried to a town where she entered
  • 00:22:37.515 --> 00:22:40.117
  • Zechariah's home and greeted elizabeth.
  • 00:22:40.117 --> 00:22:41.986
  • And when elizabeth heard mary's greeting, the baby leapt in her
  • 00:22:41.986 --> 00:22:44.822
  • Womb, and elizabeth was filled with the holy spirit.
  • 00:22:44.822 --> 00:22:48.993
  • And in a loud voice she exclaimed: 'blessed are you
  • 00:22:48.993 --> 00:22:51.495
  • Among women, blessed is the child you will bear!
  • 00:22:51.495 --> 00:22:56.200
  • But why am i so favored, that the mother of my lord should
  • 00:22:56.200 --> 00:22:58.969
  • Come to me?
  • 00:22:58.969 --> 00:23:00.538
  • As soon as the sound of your greeting reached my ears, the
  • 00:23:00.538 --> 00:23:03.040
  • Baby in my womb leaped for joy.'"
  • 00:23:03.040 --> 00:23:04.775
  • I don't know how that scene unfolded.
  • 00:23:04.775 --> 00:23:06.343
  • Luke doesn't tell us.
  • 00:23:06.343 --> 00:23:08.579
  • But i can tell you in my imagination, when mary makes it
  • 00:23:08.579 --> 00:23:11.782
  • To elizabeth's house, it's with that same sense of desperation
  • 00:23:11.782 --> 00:23:14.852
  • That you find shade on a hot day or perhaps a bit of water and
  • 00:23:14.852 --> 00:23:19.190
  • When elizabeth begins to respond to mary in this bold, loud
  • 00:23:19.190 --> 00:23:23.194
  • Voice, i can see the tears running down mary's face.
  • 00:23:23.194 --> 00:23:28.065
  • She's young.
  • 00:23:28.065 --> 00:23:30.267
  • She's not old.
  • 00:23:30.267 --> 00:23:32.336
  • And her world has been put in the blender.
  • 00:23:32.336 --> 00:23:34.538
  • Her future is in the shaker.
  • 00:23:34.538 --> 00:23:37.608
  • There's all sorts of questions and elizabeth is encouraging her
  • 00:23:37.608 --> 00:23:43.080
  • And affirming her and saying god is in the midst of this.
  • 00:23:43.080 --> 00:23:50.788
  • Folks, don't always wait for somebody to be that voice
  • 00:23:50.788 --> 00:23:53.324
  • For you.
  • 00:23:53.324 --> 00:23:54.658
  • You be that voice, all right?
  • 00:23:54.658 --> 00:23:59.730
  • You know, one of the things i get to do is try to help be
  • 00:23:59.730 --> 00:24:03.767
  • Engaged in creating a community of faith that welcomes people.
  • 00:24:03.767 --> 00:24:08.572
  • And the most unhappy people stories are the ones that
  • 00:24:08.572 --> 00:24:12.676
  • Usually make it to me and i'm always a bit amused.
  • 00:24:12.676 --> 00:24:14.979
  • People say, you know, "i visited your church and no one spoke
  • 00:24:14.979 --> 00:24:17.014
  • To me."
  • 00:24:17.014 --> 00:24:19.483
  • I'm sure it could happen.
  • 00:24:19.483 --> 00:24:21.819
  • You could probably put on headphones, dark glasses, a big
  • 00:24:21.819 --> 00:24:25.422
  • Floppy hat, pull your collar up.
  • 00:24:25.422 --> 00:24:29.960
  • Watch carefully and sneak between the gauntlet of people
  • 00:24:29.960 --> 00:24:32.796
  • Trying to say hello to you.
  • 00:24:32.796 --> 00:24:37.368
  • Sit in the sanctuary and send up every nonverbal signal you can
  • 00:24:37.368 --> 00:24:42.973
  • That i'm toxic and don't touch me.
  • 00:24:42.973 --> 00:24:47.278
  • I mean, i don't doubt that that could happen and so we'll--we
  • 00:24:47.278 --> 00:24:49.847
  • Will respond.
  • 00:24:49.847 --> 00:24:52.283
  • But i think you've probably got to make an effort.
  • 00:24:52.283 --> 00:24:56.987
  • I mean, you all are goofy friendly.
  • 00:24:56.987 --> 00:25:01.659
  • If i tell you to introduce yourself to your neighbor,
  • 00:25:01.659 --> 00:25:03.794
  • I have to stop you 4 or 5 minutes later.
  • 00:25:03.794 --> 00:25:07.264
  • You're exchanging christmas cookie recipes.
  • 00:25:07.264 --> 00:25:12.836
  • Well, i see that affirmation in elizabeth.
  • 00:25:12.836 --> 00:25:17.041
  • She's ministering to mary.
  • 00:25:17.041 --> 00:25:18.876
  • "the sound of your greeting when it reached my ears, the baby in
  • 00:25:18.876 --> 00:25:22.846
  • My womb leaped for joy.
  • 00:25:22.846 --> 00:25:24.181
  • Blessed is she who has believed what the lord has said to her
  • 00:25:24.181 --> 00:25:28.052
  • Will be accomplished!"
  • 00:25:28.052 --> 00:25:30.154
  • "so you don't think i'm crazy?
  • 00:25:30.154 --> 00:25:33.457
  • You believe me?
  • 00:25:33.457 --> 00:25:36.794
  • You think it's really god?
  • 00:25:36.794 --> 00:25:41.999
  • You're not gonna look at me with side eyes and ask me about
  • 00:25:41.999 --> 00:25:45.035
  • My character?"
  • 00:25:45.035 --> 00:25:52.676
  • Zechariah, he had an appointment of his own.
  • 00:25:52.676 --> 00:25:58.382
  • He didn't say much about it, but he wrote me a note.
  • 00:25:58.382 --> 00:26:03.354
  • It's a breakthrough.
  • 00:26:03.354 --> 00:26:06.023
