  • ...
  • 00:00:00.633 --> 00:00:01.383
  • Allen jackson: hey, would you like to make an impact for the
  • 00:00:01.784 --> 00:00:03.252
  • Kingdom of god in this generation?
  • 00:00:03.385 --> 00:00:05.020
  • I have an idea and, oh, by the way, it's biblical.
  • 00:00:05.154 --> 00:00:06.055
  • Let's practice hospitality.
  • 00:00:07.589 --> 00:00:09.625
  • I know it doesn't sound very complicated, but imagine your
  • 00:00:09.625 --> 00:00:12.327
  • Kitchen table as an expression of the hope and the love of god.
  • 00:00:12.327 --> 00:00:16.265
  • We've all got the ability to do this.
  • 00:00:16.265 --> 00:00:17.766
  • You don't have to be martha stewart.
  • 00:00:17.766 --> 00:00:19.134
  • You don't have to be a gourmet chef.
  • 00:00:19.134 --> 00:00:21.737
  • Let's just invite--open our home, invite people to our
  • 00:00:21.737 --> 00:00:24.440
  • Kitchen table, and then watch what god will do as we live out
  • 00:00:24.440 --> 00:00:28.811
  • The assignment of being ambassadors for his kingdom.
  • 00:00:28.811 --> 00:00:31.914
  • God's moving in the earth. let's go with him.
  • 00:00:31.914 --> 00:00:34.083
  • Female announcer: welcoming people to a meal around the
  • 00:00:34.083 --> 00:00:35.517
  • Kitchen table is one of the easiest ways to share life and
  • 00:00:35.517 --> 00:00:38.821
  • Your faith.
  • 00:00:38.821 --> 00:00:40.422
  • Our tools for hospitality set will help you get started.
  • 00:00:40.422 --> 00:00:43.692
  • It includes a custom kitchen towel, three of pastor allen's
  • 00:00:43.692 --> 00:00:46.795
  • Favorite family recipes, and a short booklet with
  • 00:00:46.795 --> 00:00:49.364
  • Practical encouragement.
  • 00:00:49.364 --> 00:00:51.200
  • Request the tools for hospitality set with your gift
  • 00:00:51.200 --> 00:00:53.368
  • Of $25 or more at allenjackson.com or call...
  • 00:00:53.368 --> 00:01:00.142
  • ♪♪♪
  • 00:01:02.644 --> 00:01:07.349
  • Allen: galatians 1, "i'm astonished that you are,"
  • 00:01:07.349 --> 00:01:09.518
  • --again, this is not unique to us.
  • 00:01:09.518 --> 00:01:12.221
  • It wasn't unique to just one church, it wasn't unique to the
  • 00:01:12.221 --> 00:01:14.923
  • Corinthian church or the church at thessaloniki.
  • 00:01:14.923 --> 00:01:18.093
  • It's a persistent problem against the communities of faith
  • 00:01:18.093 --> 00:01:20.863
  • In our new testament.
  • 00:01:20.863 --> 00:01:22.197
  • There--they have been coached, encouraged, discipled by people
  • 00:01:22.197 --> 00:01:27.669
  • Who knew the lord personally.
  • 00:01:27.669 --> 00:01:29.037
  • They had really good beginnings.
  • 00:01:29.037 --> 00:01:32.608
  • Paul writes in galatians 1, "i'm astonished that you're so
  • 00:01:32.608 --> 00:01:35.144
  • Quickly deserting the one who called you by the grace of
  • 00:01:35.144 --> 00:01:37.479
  • Christ and are turning to a different gospel."
  • 00:01:37.479 --> 00:01:40.449
  • We have a world filled with alternative gospels,
  • 00:01:40.449 --> 00:01:43.785
  • Social gospels.
  • 00:01:43.785 --> 00:01:45.621
  • We do good things.
  • 00:01:45.621 --> 00:01:47.122
  • We're kind and generous and benevolent.
  • 00:01:47.122 --> 00:01:49.491
  • We're civic clubs, but we don't judge anybody so we don't bring
  • 00:01:49.491 --> 00:01:53.195
  • Any moral perspectives forward.
  • 00:01:53.195 --> 00:01:55.797
  • We don't talk about things like right and wrong, good or evil.
  • 00:01:55.797 --> 00:01:58.500
  • We study the culture of the first century.
  • 00:01:58.500 --> 00:02:00.669
  • We studiously avoid the culture of the 21st century.
  • 00:02:00.669 --> 00:02:05.607
  • We have liberation theology.
  • 00:02:05.607 --> 00:02:07.242
  • It's a real thing.
  • 00:02:07.242 --> 00:02:08.577
  • It's a real thing in theology schools.
  • 00:02:08.577 --> 00:02:11.680
  • Prevalent, initially in south america with a strong
  • 00:02:11.680 --> 00:02:14.049
  • Marxist orientation.
  • 00:02:14.049 --> 00:02:15.517
  • It's more about class warfare than it is the transformation of
  • 00:02:15.517 --> 00:02:19.321
  • The gospel.
  • 00:02:19.321 --> 00:02:22.291
  • 2 thessalonians 2, "don't let anyone deceive you in any way."
  • 00:02:22.291 --> 00:02:25.260
  • If the bible warns you about deception, understand this, you
  • 00:02:25.260 --> 00:02:28.497
  • Are uniquely vulnerable.
  • 00:02:28.497 --> 00:02:31.133
  • If you don't believe you can be deceived, you already are.
  • 00:02:31.133 --> 00:02:35.337
  • "don't let anyone deceive you in any way, for that day will not
  • 00:02:35.337 --> 00:02:37.973
  • Come until the rebellion occurs."
  • 00:02:37.973 --> 00:02:42.344
  • The more literal translation for rebellion would be apostasy,
  • 00:02:42.344 --> 00:02:45.847
  • Apostasy means falling away.
  • 00:02:45.847 --> 00:02:48.650
  • He says, "that day can't come until the (falling away)
  • 00:02:48.650 --> 00:02:50.953
  • Occurs and the man of lawlessness is revealed," the
  • 00:02:50.953 --> 00:02:54.556
  • Antichrist, "the man doomed to destruction."
  • 00:02:54.556 --> 00:02:57.159
  • The antichrist won't emerge until there's an enormous change
  • 00:02:57.159 --> 00:03:01.263
  • Amongst the people of faith.
  • 00:03:01.263 --> 00:03:04.733
  • We're watching things we've never seen before.
  • 00:03:04.733 --> 00:03:06.501
  • Our children are targeted without shame or embarrassment.
  • 00:03:06.501 --> 00:03:10.939
  • Targeted for abortion.
  • 00:03:10.939 --> 00:03:12.307
  • They'll pull an abortion ban up in front of a national
  • 00:03:12.307 --> 00:03:14.643
  • Convention asking for leadership rights in our nation.
  • 00:03:14.643 --> 00:03:20.716
  • We see the gender confusion being taught to our children and
  • 00:03:20.716 --> 00:03:25.020
  • Health care professional's institutions saying that they're
  • 00:03:25.020 --> 00:03:27.923
  • A profit stream if we mutilate them.
  • 00:03:27.923 --> 00:03:33.295
  • They're being trafficked on our borders, sold into sexual
  • 00:03:33.295 --> 00:03:37.466
  • Slavery in unprecedented numbers.
  • 00:03:37.466 --> 00:03:40.802
  • And we are so blind or so bold as to say, "it's an expression
  • 00:03:40.802 --> 00:03:45.707
  • Of compassion to leave the border open."
  • 00:03:45.707 --> 00:03:50.946
  • Biblical values are being set aside and perverted.
  • 00:03:50.946 --> 00:03:53.615
  • Values around marriage, sexual morality, gender roles.
  • 00:03:53.615 --> 00:03:57.352
  • You know, we got to the place where men are competing in
  • 00:03:57.352 --> 00:04:00.222
  • Women's sports?
  • 00:04:00.222 --> 00:04:02.457
  • You know, we arrived in a place where culturally we're so blind
  • 00:04:02.457 --> 00:04:05.460
  • To that?
  • 00:04:05.460 --> 00:04:06.862
  • That for years, the church has not had the courage to talk
  • 00:04:06.862 --> 00:04:09.498
  • About biblical perspectives on gender roles.
  • 00:04:09.498 --> 00:04:15.871
  • That's another series, i'm not going there today.
  • 00:04:15.871 --> 00:04:18.840
  • I'll annoy you later.
  • 00:04:18.840 --> 00:04:21.843
  • But truthfully, it's the capitulation of the church on
  • 00:04:21.843 --> 00:04:24.780
  • The things the scripture handed us that allowed the culture to
  • 00:04:24.780 --> 00:04:27.916
  • Arrive at the point of such absurdity that even ungodly
  • 00:04:27.916 --> 00:04:30.652
  • People go, "now, wait a minute, something's wrong."
  • 00:04:30.652 --> 00:04:36.224
  • We've set aside values around the authority of scripture,
  • 00:04:36.224 --> 00:04:38.860
  • Around the gathering with god's people.
  • 00:04:38.860 --> 00:04:41.663
  • Now, we imagine we're in charge of that.
  • 00:04:41.663 --> 00:04:45.100
  • We choose.
  • 00:04:45.100 --> 00:04:46.902
  • The bible says, "don't abandon that.
  • 00:04:46.902 --> 00:04:48.904
  • Don't stop that."
  • 00:04:48.904 --> 00:04:50.872
  • That it's essential that we only reach maturity together.
  • 00:04:50.872 --> 00:04:55.243
  • It's true, you don't have to sit in a church building to be born
  • 00:04:55.243 --> 00:04:57.379
  • Again, but you're gonna need the people of god to grow up.
  • 00:04:57.379 --> 00:05:03.452
  • Matthew 24, jesus gives us a window in the midst of all this
  • 00:05:03.452 --> 00:05:06.655
  • Change and of the cataclysmic sweeping,
  • 00:05:06.655 --> 00:05:09.624
  • Realignment, re-imagination.
  • 00:05:09.624 --> 00:05:11.927
  • There's tremendous opportunities in it.
  • 00:05:11.927 --> 00:05:14.663
  • I've never had the privilege of serving with a more committed
  • 00:05:14.663 --> 00:05:16.965
  • Group of people than i do in these days.
  • 00:05:16.965 --> 00:05:20.068
  • I've never seen a group of people regularly present
  • 00:05:20.068 --> 00:05:22.904
  • Themselves with a heart to do the best they know for god, to
  • 00:05:22.904 --> 00:05:26.341
  • Make an impact for the kingdom of god than the current people
  • 00:05:26.341 --> 00:05:29.244
  • That i have the privilege of serving with in middle tennessee
  • 00:05:29.244 --> 00:05:31.613
  • And many beyond.
  • 00:05:31.613 --> 00:05:33.849
  • It's the greatest privilege of my life.
  • 00:05:33.849 --> 00:05:35.417
  • I've never seen anything quite like it.
  • 00:05:35.417 --> 00:05:38.320
  • I've also never seen the kind of opposition that we face today.
  • 00:05:38.320 --> 00:05:42.257
  • I've never seen the open censorship.
  • 00:05:42.257 --> 00:05:44.760
  • I've never seen the blatant expressions of immorality, the
  • 00:05:44.760 --> 00:05:47.429
  • Brazenness and the boldness in mocking the values that define a
  • 00:05:47.429 --> 00:05:51.366
  • Christian community.
  • 00:05:51.366 --> 00:05:54.169
  • I never imagined american--leading american
  • 00:05:54.169 --> 00:05:58.039
  • Corporations would mock and ridicule the christian faith.
  • 00:05:58.039 --> 00:06:02.611
  • We see both of those things happening at the same time.
  • 00:06:02.611 --> 00:06:05.213
  • I believe those two trends will increase.
  • 00:06:05.213 --> 00:06:07.082
  • You're gonna have to decide where you wanna fit.
  • 00:06:07.082 --> 00:06:10.819
  • Matthew 24, jesus gives us some insight.
  • 00:06:10.819 --> 00:06:13.321
  • He said, "you must be ready, because the son of man will come
  • 00:06:13.321 --> 00:06:15.857
  • In an hour when you don't expect him."
  • 00:06:15.857 --> 00:06:19.261
  • See, people get really heated up.
  • 00:06:19.261 --> 00:06:20.595
  • "you know, i think it's probably january."
  • 00:06:20.595 --> 00:06:25.867
  • And they've got a chart and they're favorite 11 authors.
  • 00:06:25.867 --> 00:06:33.842
  • And i'm like, "yeah, i see that," but jesus said, "i'm
  • 00:06:33.842 --> 00:06:38.346
  • Gonna come when you don't expect me."
  • 00:06:38.346 --> 00:06:40.816
  • Then he asked the question that's very relevant for all
  • 00:06:40.816 --> 00:06:43.318
  • Of us.
  • 00:06:43.318 --> 00:06:44.653
  • He said, "who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom the
  • 00:06:44.653 --> 00:06:46.922
  • Master has put in charge of the servants in his household to
  • 00:06:46.922 --> 00:06:50.459
  • Give them their food at the proper time?"
  • 00:06:50.459 --> 00:06:53.195
  • That's a question every one of us really needs to process
  • 00:06:53.195 --> 00:06:55.831
  • Privately, not publicly, not in a church building.
  • 00:06:55.831 --> 00:06:58.867
  • Who did jesus say a faithful and wise servant is?
  • 00:06:58.867 --> 00:07:03.805
  • I'm gonna give you an opinion, but i really would encourage you
  • 00:07:03.805 --> 00:07:06.141
  • To sort it out for yourself.
  • 00:07:06.141 --> 00:07:07.509
  • Don't accept my opinion.
  • 00:07:07.509 --> 00:07:09.377
  • "it will be good for that servant whose master finds him
  • 00:07:09.377 --> 00:07:11.813
  • Doing so when he returns.
  • 00:07:11.813 --> 00:07:14.149
  • I tell you the truth, he'll put him in charge of all of
  • 00:07:14.149 --> 00:07:16.284
  • His possessions."
  • 00:07:16.284 --> 00:07:17.686
  • That's the cabinet position you want, right there.
  • 00:07:17.686 --> 00:07:21.089
  • You want the king to say, "let me put you in charge of
  • 00:07:21.089 --> 00:07:23.859
  • Something significant."
  • 00:07:23.859 --> 00:07:26.328
  • I really don't care who overlooks me, who bypasses me,
  • 00:07:26.328 --> 00:07:28.797
  • Who diminishes me.
  • 00:07:28.797 --> 00:07:30.799
  • If the king says, "you are esteemed in what i'm doing,"
  • 00:07:30.799 --> 00:07:35.871
  • I'm good.
  • 00:07:35.871 --> 00:07:38.507
  • I didn't get there in a day.
  • 00:07:38.507 --> 00:07:40.709
  • I can't even tell you that on bad days, i can hold
  • 00:07:40.709 --> 00:07:42.777
  • That position.
  • 00:07:42.777 --> 00:07:44.846
  • But that is the determination, that's the intent of my life, is
  • 00:07:44.846 --> 00:07:48.617
  • To build that as deeply into myself as i can.
  • 00:07:48.617 --> 00:07:53.088
  • That the highest honor of my life is serving the lord.
  • 00:07:53.088 --> 00:08:02.497
  • I'm not telling you, i don't waiver.
  • 00:08:02.497 --> 00:08:04.866
  • I'm not telling you there aren't times when the people of god
  • 00:08:04.866 --> 00:08:07.269
  • Will cause me to pray.
  • 00:08:07.269 --> 00:08:14.943
  • I wanna give you one more piece of this.
  • 00:08:18.780 --> 00:08:21.182
  • When god is moving, when there's great change afoot, when there's
  • 00:08:21.182 --> 00:08:24.920
  • A lot happening, it's hard to know the appropriate response.
  • 00:08:24.920 --> 00:08:30.492
  • It takes a moment for the shifting to settle, to
  • 00:08:30.492 --> 00:08:34.129
  • Have clarity.
  • 00:08:34.129 --> 00:08:35.463
  • And often times decisions are remanded and--demanded and
  • 00:08:35.463 --> 00:08:39.501
  • Movement is necessary.
  • 00:08:39.501 --> 00:08:40.835
  • You can't just maintain you, you gotta go.
  • 00:08:40.835 --> 00:08:43.738
  • One of the most powerful responses that i'm aware of when
  • 00:08:43.738 --> 00:08:49.644
  • God is moving, is the power of gratitude.
  • 00:08:49.644 --> 00:08:53.648
  • I know it's thanksgiving week and you expect me to say that,
  • 00:08:53.648 --> 00:08:58.153
  • But i can tell you this, since this most recent election, there
  • 00:08:58.153 --> 00:09:02.624
  • Has been within me, the most deep-seated, genuinely felt,
  • 00:09:02.624 --> 00:09:07.829
  • Persistent, quiet, determined gratitude that i've ever known.
  • 00:09:07.829 --> 00:09:17.505
  • And to be candid, not primarily because of individuals that were
  • 00:09:17.505 --> 00:09:21.176
  • Elected all over the country, but because of the responses i
  • 00:09:21.176 --> 00:09:25.213
  • Saw in the hearts of people from coast to coast, and border to
  • 00:09:25.213 --> 00:09:29.818
  • Border against the messaging they were handed.
  • 00:09:29.818 --> 00:09:32.621
  • They said, "we need a different direction."
  • 00:09:32.621 --> 00:09:39.761
  • I think we would miss it completely to think it's about
  • 00:09:39.761 --> 00:09:42.297
  • An individual or a party.
  • 00:09:42.297 --> 00:09:45.467
  • I choose to believe it was 'cause there was a group of
  • 00:09:45.467 --> 00:09:47.769
  • People that said, "there's a set of values and principles that we
  • 00:09:47.769 --> 00:09:52.173
  • Don't see as broadly as we would like and we need change."
  • 00:09:52.173 --> 00:09:57.078
  • The only thing that i think could have made that possible is
  • 00:09:57.078 --> 00:09:59.514
  • God himself because we've had many elections in my lifetime.
  • 00:09:59.514 --> 00:10:04.552
  • I've had to come to the platform after many elections and say, "i
  • 00:10:04.552 --> 00:10:09.124
  • Don't really have words other than, 'we'll have to trust the
  • 00:10:09.124 --> 00:10:11.793
  • Mercy of god."'
  • 00:10:11.793 --> 00:10:13.128
  • And i think we've seen an expression of mercy but
  • 00:10:13.128 --> 00:10:15.397
  • Politicians aren't gonna fix us, folks.
  • 00:10:15.397 --> 00:10:19.000
  • So, i wanna invite you towards this attitude of being grateful.
  • 00:10:19.000 --> 00:10:24.105
  • Not for politicians and parties.
  • 00:10:24.105 --> 00:10:26.474
  • They're human beings, they will disappoint, they're gonna
  • 00:10:26.474 --> 00:10:28.843
  • Stumble, they're not gonna get it right.
  • 00:10:28.843 --> 00:10:32.580
  • ♪♪♪
  • 00:10:32.580 --> 00:10:37.052
  • Allen: i have a childhood memory i wanna share with you.
  • 00:10:39.254 --> 00:10:40.789
  • It was our kitchen table.
  • 00:10:40.789 --> 00:10:42.123
  • I've got two younger brothers.
  • 00:10:42.123 --> 00:10:43.825
  • I've gathered around the table, and my parents were
  • 00:10:43.825 --> 00:10:45.760
  • Consistently, persistently inviting guests to dinner.
  • 00:10:45.760 --> 00:10:49.497
  • You know, practicing that notion of hospitality, my brothers and
  • 00:10:49.497 --> 00:10:52.534
  • I weren't always excited about it, but i realized that we had
  • 00:10:52.534 --> 00:10:55.737
  • A front row seat for expressions of the kingdom of god.
  • 00:10:55.737 --> 00:10:59.207
  • We can still do the same.
  • 00:10:59.207 --> 00:11:00.575
  • Imagine your kitchen table as an expression of god's love in
  • 00:11:00.575 --> 00:11:04.112
  • This generation.
  • 00:11:04.112 --> 00:11:05.447
  • God's moving in the earth.
  • 00:11:05.447 --> 00:11:06.781
  • Let's join him.
  • 00:11:06.781 --> 00:11:08.283
  • Announcer: hospitality doesn't have to be complicated.
  • 00:11:08.283 --> 00:11:10.785
  • Sometimes it begins with inviting someone to your
  • 00:11:10.785 --> 00:11:13.088

  • Allen: i've got an image inside of me.
  • 00:11:40.348 --> 00:11:41.850
  • My father for many years was a veterinarian.
  • 00:11:41.850 --> 00:11:43.585
  • I know you know that.
  • 00:11:43.585 --> 00:11:44.953
  • So, i've been around a lot of animals.
  • 00:11:44.953 --> 00:11:47.789
  • Horses and then dogs.
  • 00:11:47.789 --> 00:11:50.525
  • And then one of the things i still have this memory of is the
  • 00:11:50.525 --> 00:11:53.728
  • Growl of a dog.
  • 00:11:53.728 --> 00:11:56.564
  • You know, when my dad treated horses, you had to go over where
  • 00:11:56.564 --> 00:11:59.000
  • The horses were.
  • 00:11:59.000 --> 00:12:00.368
  • So, we would get out and it was not uncommon that you'd hop out,
  • 00:12:00.368 --> 00:12:02.971
  • Or you'd pull up in some farmer's driveway, or someplace
  • 00:12:02.971 --> 00:12:05.707
  • And their dog would be what would meet you.
  • 00:12:05.707 --> 00:12:08.476
  • And you had to make a decision from the cab of the truck, or
  • 00:12:08.476 --> 00:12:11.079
  • The seat of the car, if he was friend or foe.
  • 00:12:11.079 --> 00:12:16.518
  • Not always easy to tell.
  • 00:12:16.518 --> 00:12:18.820
  • Now, if your primary experience with a dog is on television, you
  • 00:12:18.820 --> 00:12:21.823
  • Don't understand.
  • 00:12:21.823 --> 00:12:25.226
  • And so, you tried to learn to read their--'cause they--most
  • 00:12:25.226 --> 00:12:30.231
  • Dogs don't speak southern.
  • 00:12:30.231 --> 00:12:35.403
  • And one of the markers was when a dog growled.
  • 00:12:35.403 --> 00:12:39.741
  • I don't mean teeth.
  • 00:12:39.741 --> 00:12:41.109
  • If they got their teeth barred and their--but you could have
  • 00:12:41.109 --> 00:12:43.278
  • A clue.
  • 00:12:43.278 --> 00:12:45.580
  • But there's something preliminary to that and it
  • 00:12:45.580 --> 00:12:47.649
  • Starts deep down within 'em.
  • 00:12:47.649 --> 00:12:49.150
  • It's where that thanksgiving in me has been in.
  • 00:12:49.150 --> 00:12:51.953
  • It hasn't been so verbal, it hasn't been loud, it's been a
  • 00:12:51.953 --> 00:12:54.255
  • Very quiet, persistent rumble of, "thank you.
  • 00:12:54.255 --> 00:12:59.527
  • You have been so good to us."
  • 00:12:59.527 --> 00:13:02.530
  • Not because who's going someplace, not because the
  • 00:13:02.530 --> 00:13:05.400
  • Office is going to be filled.
  • 00:13:05.400 --> 00:13:06.868
  • But the people who said, "god, we need to turn to you."
  • 00:13:06.868 --> 00:13:12.140
  • And i'm so grateful for that, that this idea of a growl is
  • 00:13:12.140 --> 00:13:15.844
  • What i've been living with.
  • 00:13:15.844 --> 00:13:17.378
  • You know, when a dog feels threatened or perceives a
  • 00:13:17.378 --> 00:13:19.714
  • Threat, there's an instinctive growl that arises.
  • 00:13:19.714 --> 00:13:24.519
  • You've never ever had that experience?
  • 00:13:24.519 --> 00:13:25.887
  • Let me help you, it's a warning to the unsuspecting.
  • 00:13:25.887 --> 00:13:28.723
  • If a dog's growling at you, hesitate.
  • 00:13:28.723 --> 00:13:33.428
  • Unless you're the trainer, then that's a different set
  • 00:13:33.428 --> 00:13:35.530
  • Of instructions.
  • 00:13:35.530 --> 00:13:37.632
  • If a dog's growling at you, it's a signal of life.
  • 00:13:37.632 --> 00:13:41.603
  • "i'm not inert, i'm aware."
  • 00:13:41.603 --> 00:13:44.472
  • It's a response to an approaching adversary.
  • 00:13:44.472 --> 00:13:47.876
  • It's a presentation of awareness.
  • 00:13:47.876 --> 00:13:51.246
  • They may look lethargic, but if you hear that growl, they're
  • 00:13:51.246 --> 00:13:54.215
  • Gonna move.
  • 00:13:54.215 --> 00:13:57.619
  • Here's my suggestion, when we perceive a threat to our well
  • 00:13:57.619 --> 00:14:02.123
  • Being, let's learn to respond with a growl of gratitude.
  • 00:14:02.123 --> 00:14:11.199
  • I'm not suggesting that you're about to bite.
  • 00:14:11.199 --> 00:14:14.669
  • I'm about--i'm suggesting that you're about to break out into
  • 00:14:14.669 --> 00:14:17.372
  • Full-blown thanksgiving.
  • 00:14:17.372 --> 00:14:19.874
  • But that you're gonna start with the deep, heartfelt, quiet sense
  • 00:14:19.874 --> 00:14:24.812
  • Of the lord has been really good to me.
  • 00:14:24.812 --> 00:14:27.282
  • He's blessed us.
  • 00:14:27.282 --> 00:14:29.083
  • The future isn't always crystal clear, but god has been good.
  • 00:14:29.083 --> 00:14:33.621
  • Psalm 31 and verse 19 says, "how great is your goodness, which
  • 00:14:33.621 --> 00:14:37.592
  • You stored up for those who fear you, which you bestow in the
  • 00:14:37.592 --> 00:14:41.596
  • Sight of men on those who take refuge in you.
  • 00:14:41.596 --> 00:14:45.667
  • In the shelter of your presence you hide them from the intrigues
  • 00:14:45.667 --> 00:14:48.636
  • Of men; in your dwelling you keep them safe from
  • 00:14:48.636 --> 00:14:51.406
  • Accusing tongues."
  • 00:14:51.406 --> 00:14:53.574
  • Remember all those things we said would be necessary to take
  • 00:14:53.574 --> 00:14:56.044
  • A significant role?
  • 00:14:56.044 --> 00:14:58.613
  • This psalm is dressing almost all of them.
  • 00:14:58.613 --> 00:15:00.882
  • "praise be to the lord, for he showed his wonderful love to me
  • 00:15:00.882 --> 00:15:04.252
  • When i was in a besieged city.
  • 00:15:04.252 --> 00:15:06.955
  • In my alarm i said, 'i'm cut off from your sight!'
  • 00:15:06.955 --> 00:15:09.524
  • Yet you heard my cry for mercy when i called to you for help.
  • 00:15:09.524 --> 00:15:13.962
  • Love the lord, all his saints!
  • 00:15:13.962 --> 00:15:16.197
  • The lord preserves the faithful, but the proud he pays back
  • 00:15:16.197 --> 00:15:19.300
  • In full.
  • 00:15:19.300 --> 00:15:20.635
  • Be strong and take heart, all you who hope in the lord."
  • 00:15:20.635 --> 00:15:24.739
  • That's a marvelous declaration over your life.
  • 00:15:24.739 --> 00:15:28.409
  • If you're not in the habit of reading those psalms aloud,
  • 00:15:28.409 --> 00:15:30.745
  • You're forfeiting something of significance.
  • 00:15:30.745 --> 00:15:33.781
  • See, i wanna submit to you that gratitude is a warning to all of
  • 00:15:33.781 --> 00:15:36.651
  • God's adversaries.
  • 00:15:36.651 --> 00:15:38.653
  • That i'm aware of god's abiding presence.
  • 00:15:38.653 --> 00:15:42.523
  • Of my dependence upon his strength.
  • 00:15:42.523 --> 00:15:44.292
  • It's a signal of my awareness of the one to whom i belong.
  • 00:15:44.292 --> 00:15:47.996
  • It's a response to any adversary, "i'm not alone.
  • 00:15:47.996 --> 00:15:51.699
  • I'm not confused, i'm not frightened, i am giving thanks
  • 00:15:51.699 --> 00:15:54.702
  • To the one to whom i belong.
  • 00:15:54.702 --> 00:15:56.871
  • I serve in his kingdom."
  • 00:15:56.871 --> 00:16:00.842
  • The ultimate authority is the authority in my life.
  • 00:16:00.842 --> 00:16:04.812
  • And if you challenge me, you challenge him.
  • 00:16:04.812 --> 00:16:08.316
  • You're not confronting me, i'm limited, folks.
  • 00:16:08.316 --> 00:16:11.119
  • In strength, iq, and resource, you can get to the bottom of me
  • 00:16:11.119 --> 00:16:14.222
  • In a hurry.
  • 00:16:14.222 --> 00:16:15.690
  • But the one who backs me up.
  • 00:16:15.690 --> 00:16:22.864
  • I'm grateful to the one who called me out of darkness.
  • 00:16:22.864 --> 00:16:25.299
  • The god who extended to me a gift of righteousness.
  • 00:16:25.299 --> 00:16:28.336
  • He set me free from the law of sin and death and brought me
  • 00:16:28.336 --> 00:16:31.506
  • Into the kingdom of the son he loves.
  • 00:16:31.506 --> 00:16:34.242
  • I've been sanctified, justified, declared righteous.
  • 00:16:34.242 --> 00:16:37.845
  • I may face challenges, difficulties, and even enormous
  • 00:16:37.845 --> 00:16:40.748
  • Threats from adversaries, but the one who called me
  • 00:16:40.748 --> 00:16:43.751
  • Is faithful.
  • 00:16:43.751 --> 00:16:45.086
  • "when i walk through a shadowed valley, he is with me.
  • 00:16:45.086 --> 00:16:47.789
  • His rod and the staff, they comfort me and protect me."
  • 00:16:47.789 --> 00:16:51.592
  • I'm not afraid, i'm filled with courage.
  • 00:16:51.592 --> 00:16:54.395
  • I'm determined to keep my attention upon jesus, my lord,
  • 00:16:54.395 --> 00:16:57.698
  • Savior, and king.
  • 00:16:57.698 --> 00:16:59.901
  • He's the author and completer of my story.
  • 00:16:59.901 --> 00:17:02.036
  • He's a defender of the weak and he determines the justice of
  • 00:17:02.036 --> 00:17:05.339
  • My life.
  • 00:17:05.339 --> 00:17:06.774
  • He's my healer.
  • 00:17:06.774 --> 00:17:08.109
  • He's my complete provision.
  • 00:17:08.109 --> 00:17:10.611
  • The holy spirit is my helper, he guides my steps.
  • 00:17:10.611 --> 00:17:13.481
  • He reminds me of what i need to know.
  • 00:17:13.481 --> 00:17:15.116
  • He reveals to me what's hidden in the darkness.
  • 00:17:15.116 --> 00:17:18.319
  • The spirit of god has empowered me, provided direction for my
  • 00:17:18.319 --> 00:17:21.422
  • Journey through time.
  • 00:17:21.422 --> 00:17:23.157
  • I stand as an ambassador for the eternal kingdom of the lord of
  • 00:17:23.157 --> 00:17:26.961
  • All lords, the king of all kings.
  • 00:17:26.961 --> 00:17:29.330
  • The living one who holds the keys of death and hades.
  • 00:17:29.330 --> 00:17:33.901
  • My reward is established in christ jesus.
  • 00:17:33.901 --> 00:17:36.537
  • It is not subject to rust, to deterioration, or devaluation.
  • 00:17:36.537 --> 00:17:41.676
  • It's not mine alone.
  • 00:17:41.676 --> 00:17:43.811
  • It's available for all who are longing for his appearance.
  • 00:17:43.811 --> 00:17:47.615
  • I will persevere, i will overcome, i will complete
  • 00:17:47.615 --> 00:17:50.418
  • My course.
  • 00:17:50.418 --> 00:17:51.752
  • "in the strength of the one who called me, i will stand in the
  • 00:17:51.752 --> 00:17:54.155
  • Day of evil.
  • 00:17:54.155 --> 00:17:55.656
  • And having done everything i know, i will stand."
  • 00:17:55.656 --> 00:17:59.060
  • The decision has been made, my will has been expressed, "as for
  • 00:17:59.060 --> 00:18:02.830
  • Me in my household, we will serve the lord."
  • 00:18:02.830 --> 00:18:07.468
  • All of that is wrapped up in those expressions of gratitude
  • 00:18:07.468 --> 00:18:12.773
  • Within us.
  • 00:18:12.773 --> 00:18:14.275
  • All of them are centered in those expressions of gratitude.
  • 00:18:14.275 --> 00:18:18.346
  • My time is about gone.
  • 00:18:18.346 --> 00:18:19.714
  • I wanna go back in your outlines to revelation 5.
  • 00:18:19.714 --> 00:18:22.483
  • It's a marvelous scene of the throne room of god.
  • 00:18:22.483 --> 00:18:26.020
  • John, the apostle, he's an old man, his friends have been
  • 00:18:26.020 --> 00:18:28.523
  • Martyred, he's alone.
  • 00:18:28.523 --> 00:18:30.992
  • He's been isolated because of his faith, not because he's
  • 00:18:30.992 --> 00:18:33.861
  • A thief.
  • 00:18:33.861 --> 00:18:35.763
  • And it says, "on the lord's day, he was in the spirit and he has
  • 00:18:35.763 --> 00:18:39.534
  • A vision."
  • 00:18:39.534 --> 00:18:40.968
  • God trusted john with a picture of the end of the age.
  • 00:18:40.968 --> 00:18:45.907
  • May i make a suggestion?
  • 00:18:45.907 --> 00:18:48.743
  • Make the ambition of your life to be a person that god would
  • 00:18:48.743 --> 00:18:51.979
  • Trust with significant assignments.
  • 00:18:51.979 --> 00:18:55.683
  • See, when we pick him up, we don't know what's gonna
  • 00:18:55.683 --> 00:18:57.351
  • Be significant.
  • 00:18:57.351 --> 00:18:59.587
  • I've had just about every job in this congregation since
  • 00:18:59.587 --> 00:19:02.190
  • I started.
  • 00:19:02.190 --> 00:19:03.558
  • I've mowed the grass, and cleaned the bathrooms, and
  • 00:19:03.558 --> 00:19:05.593
  • Painted the walls.
  • 00:19:05.593 --> 00:19:07.662
  • I vacuumed carpet and straightened chairs.
  • 00:19:07.662 --> 00:19:10.364
  • And it seemed like that would be my assignment forever.
  • 00:19:10.364 --> 00:19:15.870
  • I do--there wasn't one i said, "i'll wait until there's
  • 00:19:15.870 --> 00:19:18.039
  • Something more significant.
  • 00:19:18.039 --> 00:19:20.107
  • I'll wait until there's a larger crowd.
  • 00:19:20.107 --> 00:19:22.910
  • I'll wait until somebody will listen respectfully."
  • 00:19:22.910 --> 00:19:25.079
  • If i'd waited for all those things, i would have
  • 00:19:25.079 --> 00:19:26.514
  • Never began.
  • 00:19:26.514 --> 00:19:29.016
  • I had to simply begin and say, "you know, if my job is to clean
  • 00:19:29.016 --> 00:19:31.519
  • The bathroom, i'm gonna clean it like the lord's gonna be
  • 00:19:31.519 --> 00:19:33.521
  • The inspector."
  • 00:19:33.521 --> 00:19:36.424
  • Now, i can't tell you, i always got my attitude in the right
  • 00:19:36.424 --> 00:19:38.659
  • Place, but i had enough awareness that i knew i
  • 00:19:38.659 --> 00:19:42.463
  • Needed to.
  • 00:19:42.463 --> 00:19:44.765
  • And i would try to bring correction to it when it got in
  • 00:19:44.765 --> 00:19:46.834
  • The wrong space.
  • 00:19:46.834 --> 00:19:48.769
  • Determined to be a person that god could trust with
  • 00:19:48.769 --> 00:19:52.840
  • Something significant.
  • 00:19:52.840 --> 00:19:54.809
  • And the pathway for that probably begins with something
  • 00:19:54.809 --> 00:19:57.078
  • That doesn't look so significant.
  • 00:19:57.078 --> 00:20:01.015
  • John has this vision of the throne of heaven.
  • 00:20:01.015 --> 00:20:05.319
  • It says, "they sang a song: 'you were worthy to take the scroll
  • 00:20:05.319 --> 00:20:08.055
  • And to open its seals, because you were slain, and with your
  • 00:20:08.055 --> 00:20:10.424
  • Blood you purchased men for god from every tribe and language
  • 00:20:10.424 --> 00:20:13.361
  • And people and nation.'"
  • 00:20:13.361 --> 00:20:14.729
  • Who's he seeing?
  • 00:20:14.729 --> 00:20:16.931
  • Jesus.
  • 00:20:16.931 --> 00:20:19.066
  • "you've made them to be a kingdom and priests to serve our
  • 00:20:19.066 --> 00:20:21.402
  • God, and they will reign on the earth."
  • 00:20:21.402 --> 00:20:24.872
  • In verse 11, there's the angels song.
  • 00:20:24.872 --> 00:20:26.641
  • All the angels begin to sing.
  • 00:20:26.641 --> 00:20:28.242
  • "i looked and i heard the voice of many angels, numbering
  • 00:20:28.242 --> 00:20:30.711
  • Thousands upon thousands, and ten thousand times
  • 00:20:30.711 --> 00:20:33.147
  • Ten thousand.
  • 00:20:33.147 --> 00:20:34.615
  • They encircled the throne and the living creatures and
  • 00:20:34.615 --> 00:20:36.851
  • The elders.
  • 00:20:36.851 --> 00:20:38.185
  • And in a loud voice they sang: 'worthy is the lamb, who was
  • 00:20:38.185 --> 00:20:41.088
  • Slain, to receive power and wealth and wisdom and strength
  • 00:20:41.088 --> 00:20:44.825
  • And honor and glory and praise!'"
  • 00:20:44.825 --> 00:20:47.928
  • My imagination is not adequate for that scene.
  • 00:20:47.928 --> 00:20:51.632
  • Ten--it's an enormous gathering of angels, 10,000 times 10,000.
  • 00:20:51.632 --> 00:20:56.137
  • Some of you are good with numbers.
  • 00:20:56.137 --> 00:20:57.471
  • That's a hundred million.
  • 00:20:57.471 --> 00:20:59.407
  • There's more than a hundred million angels gathered.
  • 00:20:59.407 --> 00:21:02.643
  • Folks, there's about seven million people in tennessee.
  • 00:21:02.643 --> 00:21:06.180
  • You couldn't see the whole crowd.
  • 00:21:06.180 --> 00:21:09.083
  • The gathering of angels would either have had to disappear in
  • 00:21:09.083 --> 00:21:13.020
  • The distance or john would have had to been up above them,
  • 00:21:13.020 --> 00:21:16.390
  • Traveling over them.
  • 00:21:16.390 --> 00:21:17.758
  • You couldn't imagine a number of that great.
  • 00:21:17.758 --> 00:21:19.327
  • You can't see all those.
  • 00:21:19.327 --> 00:21:20.861
  • It's an innumerable company of angels.
  • 00:21:20.861 --> 00:21:25.633
  • Horizon to horizon.
  • 00:21:25.633 --> 00:21:28.636
  • Imagine them when they begin to sing, it may have started quiet
  • 00:21:28.636 --> 00:21:33.274
  • And gentle but it--what begins as a low rumble is gonna
  • 00:21:33.274 --> 00:21:36.143
  • Become thunderous.
  • 00:21:36.143 --> 00:21:39.580
  • It's an amazing scene.
  • 00:21:39.580 --> 00:21:42.783
  • You know who angels are?
  • 00:21:42.783 --> 00:21:45.419
  • Ministering spirits sent forth to help us.
  • 00:21:45.419 --> 00:21:51.292
  • The bible says, "we entertain angels and we don't know it."
  • 00:21:51.292 --> 00:21:57.531
  • That's another lesson.
  • 00:21:57.531 --> 00:22:00.101
  • Verse 13, "then i heard every creature in heaven on earth and
  • 00:22:00.101 --> 00:22:03.270
  • Under the earth and on the sea, and all that's in
  • 00:22:03.270 --> 00:22:06.140
  • Them, singing."
  • 00:22:06.140 --> 00:22:07.508
  • Every creature, every creature that walks or swims, "to him who
  • 00:22:07.508 --> 00:22:13.180
  • Sits on the throne and to the lamb be praise and honor and
  • 00:22:13.180 --> 00:22:17.017
  • Glory and power, forever and ever."
  • 00:22:17.017 --> 00:22:21.856
  • We're in a season of tremendous shaking.
  • 00:22:21.856 --> 00:22:25.693
  • We saw it with covid, we saw it again on october 7, i believe we
  • 00:22:25.693 --> 00:22:29.930
  • Saw another episode last month.
  • 00:22:29.930 --> 00:22:32.967
  • There's a shaking taking place.
  • 00:22:32.967 --> 00:22:36.237
  • Realignment, forcing people to make decisions.
  • 00:22:36.237 --> 00:22:40.775
  • Status quo is under great threat.
  • 00:22:40.775 --> 00:22:43.878
  • The future is not going to be like the past.
  • 00:22:43.878 --> 00:22:46.447
  • We're gonna see things we haven't seen some good, some not
  • 00:22:46.447 --> 00:22:49.083
  • So good.
  • 00:22:49.083 --> 00:22:50.785
  • One of the most profound responses i'm conscious of, is
  • 00:22:50.785 --> 00:22:54.255
  • The determination on our part to be thankful, to practice,
  • 00:22:54.255 --> 00:22:59.527
  • Being grateful.
  • 00:22:59.527 --> 00:23:02.129
  • Doesn't mean i'm always happy, doesn't mean things are always
  • 00:23:02.129 --> 00:23:05.299
  • Going my way.
  • 00:23:05.299 --> 00:23:07.701
  • When we're given these windows into the throne room of god,
  • 00:23:07.701 --> 00:23:10.771
  • They are filled with these expressions of thanks.
  • 00:23:10.771 --> 00:23:14.608
  • When you and i see the lord in all of his glory, i don't
  • 00:23:14.608 --> 00:23:18.245
  • Believe we'll say, "you know, i've got a question for you."
  • 00:23:18.245 --> 00:23:23.250
  • I think we'll be overwhelmed with gratitude.
  • 00:23:23.250 --> 00:23:27.121
  • I want it to grow within me.
  • 00:23:27.121 --> 00:23:29.423
  • I want it to shape my response to my circumstances.
  • 00:23:29.423 --> 00:23:33.327
  • I want it to be a great strength in my life.
  • 00:23:33.327 --> 00:23:37.431
  • I wanna close with that little hymn of thanksgiving i gave you.
  • 00:23:37.431 --> 00:23:42.436
  • I took it from revelation 5, if you'll stand with me, we're
  • 00:23:42.436 --> 00:23:45.072
  • Gonna read it together.
  • 00:23:45.072 --> 00:23:48.776
  • It's directed to our king.
  • 00:23:48.776 --> 00:23:52.913
  • The one we serve, the one who sets the priorities of our
  • 00:23:52.913 --> 00:23:57.184
  • Lives, the one we've chosen to yield our will to.
  • 00:23:57.184 --> 00:24:00.988
  • The one we will submit our emotions to.
  • 00:24:00.988 --> 00:24:05.125
  • It says to the elders, the most triumphant from among the people
  • 00:24:05.125 --> 00:24:09.063
  • Of god when they saw the lord, they threw their crowns
  • 00:24:09.063 --> 00:24:11.765
  • Before him.
  • 00:24:11.765 --> 00:24:13.100
  • There was nothing they would hold back.
  • 00:24:13.100 --> 00:24:15.803
  • We don't arrive at that place immediately, we hold back a lot.
  • 00:24:15.803 --> 00:24:21.742
  • But we're learning, we're growing, we're gaining strength.
  • 00:24:21.742 --> 00:24:28.782
  • We are salt and light in this generation and we will choose
  • 00:24:28.782 --> 00:24:31.886
  • The lord.
  • 00:24:31.886 --> 00:24:33.721
  • When the history of the church is put together, may this be one
  • 00:24:33.721 --> 00:24:36.657
  • Of the most triumphant seasons of the people of god across the
  • 00:24:36.657 --> 00:24:40.361
  • Span of time.
