Bobby Chandler: Authentic Church | Bobby Chandler - I Think I'm Called ... But What Does That Even Mean (Part 1) | October 24, 2025

Killer to your calling is being impatient.
00:00:03.768 --> 00:00:07.572
Rushing the process.
00:00:08.039 --> 00:00:09.374
Something you're not ready for.
00:00:09.374 --> 00:00:12.177
And that's the amazing truth
00:00:12.177 --> 00:00:13.511
That every time you come into the presence of god,
00:00:13.511 --> 00:00:16.114
You can receive clarity from the lord.
00:00:16.114 --> 00:00:17.982
Did you know that
00:00:17.982 --> 00:00:19.317
The biggest questions that you have,
00:00:19.317 --> 00:00:20.752
The things that you're doubting, the things that you're facing,
00:00:20.752 --> 00:00:23.121
Did you know that in the presence of god,
00:00:23.121 --> 00:00:25.557
God will give you clarity?
00:00:25.557 --> 00:00:27.425
He will give you an answer, and he will guide your feet
00:00:27.425 --> 00:00:30.895
By his word.
00:00:31.229 --> 00:00:32.230
That will be a light for your path
00:00:32.230 --> 00:00:34.632
And tell you exactly where it is you need to go.
00:00:34.632 --> 00:00:37.769
And this is my burden.
00:00:37.769 --> 00:00:38.903
Just to remind you, you can hear from god
00:00:38.903 --> 00:00:42.574
And god wants you to meet with him.
00:00:42.574 --> 00:00:44.776
Because i've been having conversations lately with people
00:00:44.776 --> 00:00:47.445
Saying, i feel so lost.
00:00:47.445 --> 00:00:50.849
I feel broken, i don't know what i'm called to do.
00:00:50.849 --> 00:00:54.719
Maybe you can relate to that.
00:00:54.719 --> 00:00:56.454
And so i just had this conversation recently.
00:00:56.454 --> 00:00:58.423
And so when they said that, then i asked them this question,
00:00:58.423 --> 00:01:01.092
When when's the last time you were in the word of god?
00:01:01.092 --> 00:01:03.895
Oh yeah.
00:01:03.895 --> 00:01:05.263
It's been a while.
00:01:05.697 --> 00:01:07.065
I've been busy.
00:01:07.065 --> 00:01:08.299
My bible has been collecting dust.
00:01:08.299 --> 00:01:10.001
Then of course, you're lost.
00:01:10.001 --> 00:01:12.303
How do you know where to go
00:01:12.303 --> 00:01:13.271
Without the word of god in your life?
00:01:13.271 --> 00:01:15.273
And then they told me, you know what?
00:01:15.273 --> 00:01:16.374
But i'm kind of facing some depression.
00:01:16.374 --> 00:01:17.942
I said, i will feel depressed too,
00:01:17.942 --> 00:01:20.245
If i'm not hearing from god.
00:01:20.245 --> 00:01:21.913
Doesn't matter if i'm. if i'm doing ministry or not.
00:01:21.913 --> 00:01:23.982
Like if i'm not in his presence,
00:01:23.982 --> 00:01:26.050
If i'm not behind the scenes in his presence,
00:01:26.050 --> 00:01:28.520
Worshiping his name, just speaking to him.
00:01:28.520 --> 00:01:31.489
Listen, i have no peace.
00:01:31.489 --> 00:01:33.691
And as a pastor, look, i'm seeing
00:01:33.691 --> 00:01:35.160
Amazing things happen from god.
00:01:35.160 --> 00:01:38.296
But just even yesterday, i was praying
00:01:38.296 --> 00:01:39.731
Because this church is really busy. look around.
00:01:39.731 --> 00:01:42.400
It's growing really fast.
00:01:42.400 --> 00:01:43.535
God is reaching a lot of people and god told me i was
00:01:43.535 --> 00:01:46.037
I was driving, i was running some errands
00:01:46.037 --> 00:01:48.206
Before i was really about to dive
00:01:48.206 --> 00:01:49.307
Into the word and really prepped for today.
00:01:49.307 --> 00:01:50.808
And god just said, you know what
00:01:50.808 --> 00:01:53.912
Just me and god in the truck.
00:01:54.546 --> 00:01:57.348
You ever had one of those moments?
00:01:57.348 --> 00:01:59.350
God says, slow down.
00:01:59.350 --> 00:02:00.218
I know you got a lot to do.
00:02:00.218 --> 00:02:02.220
Let's talk.
00:02:02.220 --> 00:02:03.721
And it was a piece like, i can breathe.
00:02:03.721 --> 00:02:05.590
Okay.
00:02:05.590 --> 00:02:07.425
God did a lot of amazing things are happening right now.
00:02:07.425 --> 00:02:10.361
I just want to make sure that i'm doing your will.
00:02:10.361 --> 00:02:12.997
And i believe that's where you are right now.
00:02:12.997 --> 00:02:14.332
God, what is your calling for? my life.
00:02:14.332 --> 00:02:16.768
And so i believe the word of god today
00:02:16.768 --> 00:02:18.570
Is going to bring you clarity over calling.
00:02:18.570 --> 00:02:21.673
Hey, what am i called to do?
00:02:21.673 --> 00:02:22.907
What is what is the purpose that god has for me?
00:02:22.907 --> 00:02:25.743
Because wouldn't it be nice, right,
00:02:25.743 --> 00:02:27.679
When it comes to a calling or a purpose?
00:02:27.679 --> 00:02:29.147
Wouldn't it be nice if god has told you everything?
00:02:29.147 --> 00:02:31.516
Like from the very beginning?
00:02:32.150 --> 00:02:33.151
Oh, this is going to happen for you
00:02:33.151 --> 00:02:34.986
From the very beginning to the very end.
00:02:34.986 --> 00:02:37.288
Don't trust that person.
00:02:37.288 --> 00:02:38.423
They will talk bad about you, okay? don't go there.
00:02:38.423 --> 00:02:40.592
That's going to fall apart.
00:02:40.592 --> 00:02:41.526
Don't take that job in that relationship.
00:02:41.526 --> 00:02:43.628
Let's go this way. okay?
00:02:43.628 --> 00:02:44.529
You know,
00:02:44.529 --> 00:02:44.996
Like, what if god
00:02:44.996 --> 00:02:46.064
Just revealed everything from the very beginning?
00:02:46.064 --> 00:02:48.933
You want that?
00:02:48.933 --> 00:02:50.268
Do you think you want it?
00:02:50.268 --> 00:02:51.769
I used to raise my hand for that until i realized, god,
00:02:51.769 --> 00:02:53.938
I don't want to know every piece to the puzzle,
00:02:53.938 --> 00:02:57.242
Because if i did, i would never move by faith.
00:02:57.242 --> 00:03:00.245
Because if i knew all the trials
00:03:00.245 --> 00:03:01.512
That i face today to be here today.
00:03:01.512 --> 00:03:03.047
Listen, i don't know if i would have moved.
00:03:03.047 --> 00:03:05.049
I don't know if i would have gone through those things.
00:03:05.049 --> 00:03:06.651
Like, it's difficult and so god will
00:03:06.651 --> 00:03:08.486
Speak into your life and he'll give you a calling.
00:03:08.486 --> 00:03:10.588
And guess what? i like to call it a spiritual burden.
00:03:10.588 --> 00:03:13.358
You know what that feels like?
00:03:13.358 --> 00:03:14.759
Like something over your life you just can't shake.
00:03:14.759 --> 00:03:17.662
You can't get away from.
00:03:17.662 --> 00:03:19.163
Maybe right now you're having dreams every night
00:03:19.163 --> 00:03:22.600
About the same thing.
00:03:22.600 --> 00:03:24.502
How many of y'all
00:03:24.936 --> 00:03:26.004
Enjoyed pastor matt tuning in the house last week?
00:03:26.004 --> 00:03:28.873
Blessed to have that man of god in the house.
00:03:28.873 --> 00:03:31.643
Glad to have him again in the future.
00:03:31.643 --> 00:03:33.311
I don't know if you guys saw, but we did a podcast
00:03:33.311 --> 00:03:35.113
This past week, put it on youtube,
00:03:35.113 --> 00:03:36.881
And he told me his story about planting netcast church,
00:03:36.881 --> 00:03:39.984
And he said that i believe
00:03:39.984 --> 00:03:41.119
He said he had dreams five nights in a row,
00:03:41.119 --> 00:03:44.689
Five nights in a row.
00:03:45.189 --> 00:03:46.457
God telling him to move to boston.
00:03:46.457 --> 00:03:48.726
Like, that's incredible, isn't it?
00:03:48.726 --> 00:03:50.361
And i've explained to you guys,
00:03:50.361 --> 00:03:51.529
Even my family, we moved from louisiana during that time.
00:03:51.529 --> 00:03:54.932
God was giving us dreams to move by faith.
00:03:54.932 --> 00:03:58.069
And so that's the reason we came here.
00:03:58.069 --> 00:03:59.671
God was giving us the signs.
00:03:59.671 --> 00:04:01.072
So maybe right now that's happening to you
00:04:01.072 --> 00:04:03.341
Because, like, i thought it was a weird dream.
00:04:03.341 --> 00:04:05.076
I had some candy that night, but i keep having the same dream
00:04:05.076 --> 00:04:07.645
Over and over again.
00:04:07.645 --> 00:04:08.646
It's like god is telling me to do something.
00:04:08.646 --> 00:04:11.082
Another thing is, maybe you're experiencing
00:04:11.082 --> 00:04:12.717
Diving into the word of god,
00:04:12.717 --> 00:04:13.685
And it's like
00:04:13.685 --> 00:04:14.552
Every time you read the word of god,
00:04:14.552 --> 00:04:15.486
God is answering your questions right now.
00:04:15.486 --> 00:04:18.089
God, should i move by faith?
00:04:18.089 --> 00:04:19.357
And you go, oh, okay.
00:04:19.357 --> 00:04:22.360
God, are you sure about that?
00:04:22.360 --> 00:04:23.494
Let me let me go to the next one. go.
00:04:23.494 --> 00:04:25.797
Do not be afraid to not be anxious about anything.
00:04:25.797 --> 00:04:28.333
Pray over everything, right.
00:04:28.333 --> 00:04:30.401
It's like god has given you specific verses.
00:04:30.401 --> 00:04:33.371
Or we talked about it two weeks ago, that god.
00:04:33.371 --> 00:04:35.273
But the holy spirit, who revealed things to you.
00:04:35.273 --> 00:04:38.343
He'll also use people to confirm what he's speaking to you.
00:04:38.343 --> 00:04:40.978
Did you know that?
00:04:40.978 --> 00:04:42.180
That's a good thing to know. okay.
00:04:42.180 --> 00:04:43.781
And so maybe somebody
00:04:43.781 --> 00:04:44.882
Is coming up to you right now and they're like, hey,
00:04:44.882 --> 00:04:47.552
I don't know what you're doing,
00:04:47.552 --> 00:04:48.553
But have you ever thought about doing this?
00:04:48.553 --> 00:04:50.922
And you're like, yes.
00:04:50.922 --> 00:04:52.990
Have you been in my house for the last two months?
00:04:52.990 --> 00:04:55.626
Because that's exactly what god is telling me to do.
00:04:55.626 --> 00:04:58.296
And i was too afraid to do it.
00:04:58.296 --> 00:05:00.231
But now you're confirming this.
00:05:00.865 --> 00:05:03.301
Are you there?
00:05:03.301 --> 00:05:04.869
And so at that moment, you kind of take a step back
00:05:04.869 --> 00:05:07.171
And you're like, whoa, am i called to do this?
00:05:07.171 --> 00:05:12.043
Is god telling me to do this in my life?
00:05:12.043 --> 00:05:14.445
For his kingdom,
00:05:14.445 --> 00:05:15.813
That's what we're going to bring clarity over today.
00:05:15.813 --> 00:05:17.448
So the title of today's message is this i think i'm called
00:05:17.448 --> 00:05:20.485
I think i'm called god.
00:05:20.985 --> 00:05:23.020
But what does that look like for my life?
00:05:23.020 --> 00:05:25.690
And so if you have your bibles,
00:05:25.690 --> 00:05:26.791
We will be in first kings chapter 19.
00:05:26.791 --> 00:05:28.459
Today
00:05:28.459 --> 00:05:29.360
We're going to do things
00:05:29.360 --> 00:05:30.161
A little bit differently, though,
00:05:30.161 --> 00:05:31.028
Before we actually dive into the story.
00:05:31.028 --> 00:05:33.865
I feel like we need to take some time
00:05:33.865 --> 00:05:35.500
On a very important question.
00:05:35.500 --> 00:05:36.801
First, because answering this question will help direct
00:05:36.801 --> 00:05:40.671
You in life on where to go and how to obey god's voice.
00:05:40.671 --> 00:05:44.542
But if you don't understand the meaning of this,
00:05:44.542 --> 00:05:46.310
You will always feel lost.
00:05:46.310 --> 00:05:48.012
Okay, so you ready for the question?
00:05:48.012 --> 00:05:49.614
Here's the question.
00:05:49.614 --> 00:05:50.681
What is a calling from god?
00:05:50.681 --> 00:05:53.718
If you were to answer that
00:05:54.285 --> 00:05:55.119
Right now, what would you write down?
00:05:55.119 --> 00:05:56.854
What actually is a calling from god?
00:05:56.854 --> 00:05:59.590
To love people,
00:05:59.590 --> 00:06:01.592
To pray more, to be in his word.
00:06:01.592 --> 00:06:02.994
What is a calling from god?
00:06:02.994 --> 00:06:05.363
For my life. let's break it down.
00:06:05.363 --> 00:06:07.698
The first answer is this.
00:06:07.698 --> 00:06:09.434
Your first calling is to jesus, not a position.
00:06:09.434 --> 00:06:14.338
Please don't get it twisted,
00:06:14.939 --> 00:06:16.707
Because a lot of times
00:06:16.707 --> 00:06:18.342
When we feel like god is speaking over our life,
00:06:18.342 --> 00:06:21.212
You ever had one of those moments
00:06:21.212 --> 00:06:22.213
Somebody says, man, god is going to use you.
00:06:22.213 --> 00:06:24.282
Oh, god is going to use you,
00:06:24.282 --> 00:06:25.516
And god is going to do great things to you, and
00:06:25.516 --> 00:06:27.552
You're going to have a position and all that.
00:06:27.552 --> 00:06:29.053
You get really excited about the promise.
00:06:29.053 --> 00:06:32.423
How about the position about where you're going?
00:06:32.423 --> 00:06:34.992
But don't get it twisted.
00:06:34.992 --> 00:06:36.627
You must understand first,
00:06:36.627 --> 00:06:37.962
You belong to jesus, not the position,
00:06:37.962 --> 00:06:40.898
Because god may bring you.
00:06:40.898 --> 00:06:42.133
Here's the truth god may bring you to a position.
00:06:42.133 --> 00:06:44.101
Then change the position later on.
00:06:44.101 --> 00:06:46.704
God may bring you somewhere and then change the season.
00:06:46.704 --> 00:06:49.841
But you know who doesn't change jesus christ?
00:06:49.841 --> 00:06:52.810
And so you have to understand that you belong to jesus.
00:06:52.810 --> 00:06:56.547
God chose you, by the way,
00:06:56.547 --> 00:06:58.716
Let's dive into
00:06:59.083 --> 00:06:59.784
This john chapter 15, verse 16.
00:06:59.784 --> 00:07:02.720
I love what
00:07:02.720 --> 00:07:03.588
Jesus stated to the disciples here,
00:07:03.588 --> 00:07:05.389
And i can almost hear his tone.
00:07:05.389 --> 00:07:07.225
He said, you didn't choose me.
00:07:07.225 --> 00:07:09.694
Can you hear jesus saying that you didn't choose me?
00:07:09.694 --> 00:07:12.964
I chose you, meaning i called
00:07:12.964 --> 00:07:16.467
You and i appointed you to go and produce.
00:07:16.467 --> 00:07:20.571
Here it is right here.
00:07:20.571 --> 00:07:21.973
Lasting.
00:07:21.973 --> 00:07:22.940
Have a lasting fruit.
00:07:22.940 --> 00:07:25.243
I called you to produce everlasting fruit.
00:07:25.243 --> 00:07:30.081
Write that down.
00:07:30.081 --> 00:07:31.215
When it comes to a calling from god, i need to know
00:07:31.215 --> 00:07:34.886
That i belong to jesus so that i can produce
00:07:34.886 --> 00:07:38.890
Have a lasting fruit no matter where i go,
00:07:38.890 --> 00:07:43.394
Doing the father's will.
00:07:43.928 --> 00:07:45.830
Because i think my my fear
00:07:45.830 --> 00:07:47.598
Was when you heard the title, you checked out.
00:07:47.598 --> 00:07:50.668
I think i'm called
00:07:50.668 --> 00:07:51.702
Because i think when people hear that,
00:07:51.702 --> 00:07:52.904
They think, okay, called
00:07:52.904 --> 00:07:53.971
The ministry and the church staff and leadership
00:07:53.971 --> 00:07:57.074
And like that, i don't think that's me.
00:07:57.074 --> 00:07:58.442
No, no, no, as a believer in jesus, you're called
00:07:58.442 --> 00:08:01.245
As a follower of jesus christ.
00:08:01.846 --> 00:08:03.281
You are called to make an impact for the kingdom.
00:08:03.281 --> 00:08:05.950
And when you're called, guess what you will do.
00:08:05.950 --> 00:08:08.252
God will do this through you.
00:08:08.252 --> 00:08:09.554
I appointed you, i called you to produce everlasting fruit.
00:08:09.554 --> 00:08:12.857
This fruit will not fade away.
00:08:12.857 --> 00:08:14.292
This will change your family and the generations to come.
00:08:14.292 --> 00:08:17.194
And you will make
00:08:17.194 --> 00:08:18.262
An impact on this earth so that people know jesus.
00:08:18.262 --> 00:08:21.866
Now, what i love about this, as you walk
00:08:21.866 --> 00:08:23.434
According to the will of god, you're walking in obedience.
00:08:23.434 --> 00:08:26.337
Listen to this is a promise right after this,
00:08:26.337 --> 00:08:29.507
So that the father will give you
00:08:29.507 --> 00:08:32.410
Whatever you ask for using my name.
00:08:32.410 --> 00:08:35.947
Oh, we like that verse.
00:08:36.447 --> 00:08:38.249
Some of y'all. that's your favorite verse.
00:08:38.249 --> 00:08:39.650
Just that part alone.
00:08:39.650 --> 00:08:40.618
You don't even care about the first part.
00:08:40.618 --> 00:08:41.719
You're just like, i want to ask for whatever i want.
00:08:41.719 --> 00:08:43.454
God, can i have the big house,
00:08:43.454 --> 00:08:45.222
The big house that i can't afford
00:08:45.222 --> 00:08:46.424
And the bank won't give it to me.
00:08:46.424 --> 00:08:47.458
But i think you can make a way.
00:08:47.458 --> 00:08:49.393
God, the relationship that i just, you know, ask susie
00:08:49.393 --> 00:08:51.729
100 times to go out with me, she still won't go out with me.
00:08:51.729 --> 00:08:53.998
But god, i believe you know what i mean. know
00:08:53.998 --> 00:08:57.501
Again.
00:08:57.702 --> 00:08:58.269
Don't get it twisted.
00:08:58.269 --> 00:08:59.370
What he's saying here is, listen, i chose you.
00:08:59.370 --> 00:09:03.074
God wants you to fall in love with him.
00:09:03.074 --> 00:09:05.643
And when you fall in love with jesus, your mindset
00:09:05.643 --> 00:09:08.446
And the things you desire start to change.
00:09:08.446 --> 00:09:11.582
You start to desire the things that god desires for your life
00:09:11.582 --> 00:09:15.419
And for the people around you.
00:09:15.419 --> 00:09:16.721
Have you noticed that your prayer life has changed
00:09:16.721 --> 00:09:19.423
As you get closer to jesus?
00:09:19.423 --> 00:09:21.359
Back in the day, maybe the only things you prayed
00:09:21.359 --> 00:09:23.294
For was a relationship, a position,
00:09:23.294 --> 00:09:26.030
Or that god would take care of somebody who hurt you.
00:09:26.030 --> 00:09:29.533
Now your prayer life looks like this.
00:09:29.533 --> 00:09:31.068
God, let me do your will today.
00:09:31.068 --> 00:09:32.703
What do you want me to do for you?
00:09:32.703 --> 00:09:34.238
For your kingdom and god?
00:09:34.238 --> 00:09:35.539
That person that hurt me, help me to forgive them,
00:09:35.539 --> 00:09:38.542
Because i also know that i've made many mistakes
00:09:39.543 --> 00:09:41.846
And you forgive me every single day.
00:09:41.846 --> 00:09:43.781
So i would love to see the same grace in their life.
00:09:43.781 --> 00:09:45.916
God, because i know
00:09:45.916 --> 00:09:47.051
How can i be forgiven if i don't forgive other people?
00:09:47.051 --> 00:09:49.286
See, god changes the way you pray, the way you think.
00:09:49.286 --> 00:09:52.590
All of it. it's it's amazing.
00:09:52.590 --> 00:09:54.659
But jesus said, listen, i chose you, all right?
00:09:54.659 --> 00:09:57.328
And you're able to ask these things
00:09:57.328 --> 00:09:58.629
Because now you're asking things.
00:09:58.629 --> 00:09:59.897
And according
00:09:59.897 --> 00:10:01.065
To the will of the father, you're walking in obedience.
00:10:01.065 --> 00:10:04.502
Everything starts to change.
00:10:04.502 --> 00:10:05.903
But again, don't get it twisted because that's what we do.
00:10:05.903 --> 00:10:08.105
I just had a conversation recently
00:10:08.105 --> 00:10:10.241
With a good friend of mine, and he's a really cool dude,
00:10:10.241 --> 00:10:12.476
And he was like, man, i'm just distraught.
00:10:12.476 --> 00:10:15.446
I said, why?
00:10:15.446 --> 00:10:16.347
He said, listen, for the last two years,
00:10:16.347 --> 00:10:17.948
We've been talking about it.
00:10:17.948 --> 00:10:19.050
The last two years i've been trying to get this job.
00:10:19.050 --> 00:10:21.352
I've been trying to get this position,
00:10:21.352 --> 00:10:23.120
And i've taken the test.
00:10:23.120 --> 00:10:24.689
I felt the test over and over again,
00:10:24.689 --> 00:10:26.057
And so i retried, i studied, i did everything
00:10:26.057 --> 00:10:28.526
I thought i was supposed to do, and i did not get the position
00:10:28.526 --> 00:10:32.563
That he's in a relationship that's not really healthy.
00:10:32.563 --> 00:10:35.166
His past relationships have not been healthy.
00:10:35.166 --> 00:10:37.768
And so he's looking at me and here's what i can hear.
00:10:37.768 --> 00:10:40.538
Here's the pastor on the inside.
00:10:40.538 --> 00:10:41.839
Okay, here's what i hear, pastor,
00:10:41.839 --> 00:10:43.541
When i get my life right, then i'll show up to church.
00:10:43.541 --> 00:10:47.445
Like when i get the position, when i get the relationship
00:10:48.612 --> 00:10:50.848
And i get all these things in order,
00:10:50.848 --> 00:10:52.483
Then i'll show up to church, and then i'm going to love god,
00:10:52.483 --> 00:10:54.819
And i'm going to do everything that i need to do.
00:10:54.819 --> 00:10:56.454
And so i lovingly said, man, you're out of order.
00:10:56.454 --> 00:11:00.424
You're out of order right now.
00:11:01.025 --> 00:11:02.793
Like, the only thing that i've heard from you is a position
00:11:02.793 --> 00:11:05.196
In a relationship where jesus,
00:11:05.196 --> 00:11:08.866
I know you want to come to church, but where is jesus?
00:11:08.866 --> 00:11:11.368
Lovingly.
00:11:11.368 --> 00:11:12.203
You have to put jesus first.
00:11:12.203 --> 00:11:14.305
You're chasing everything else,
00:11:14.305 --> 00:11:15.906
Putting jesus at the bottom of the list.
00:11:15.906 --> 00:11:18.008
And i know that you mean well,
00:11:18.008 --> 00:11:19.310
But this is why everything gets out of order.
00:11:19.310 --> 00:11:21.445
And this is the reason you're devastated and depressed.
00:11:21.445 --> 00:11:23.814
This is the reason nothing is
00:11:24.448 --> 00:11:25.649
Going well for you at this moment.
00:11:25.649 --> 00:11:27.118
You have to put jesus first, right?
00:11:27.118 --> 00:11:30.488
Because you're looking for a position
00:11:31.222 --> 00:11:32.523
And you don't even know you belong to jesus.
00:11:32.523 --> 00:11:35.392
And we're looking for love in this world,
00:11:35.392 --> 00:11:36.961
And we don't even know the love of god
00:11:36.961 --> 00:11:39.497
Got us the standard of love.
00:11:39.497 --> 00:11:40.664
He is love, by the way.
00:11:40.664 --> 00:11:42.133
Don't let the world lie to you about that, all right?
00:11:42.133 --> 00:11:44.869
Because this world is going to offer you fake love,
00:11:44.869 --> 00:11:46.804
Counterfeit love, and it will devastate you.
00:11:46.804 --> 00:11:48.873
But god has real love.
00:11:48.873 --> 00:11:49.974
But if you don't know
00:11:49.974 --> 00:11:51.008
The love of god, how can you love somebody else?
00:11:51.008 --> 00:11:53.911
Because god's love is different from the love of this world.
00:11:53.911 --> 00:11:57.581
And so again, let me make it very clear
00:11:57.581 --> 00:11:59.083
If jesus is not the foundation of your life,
00:11:59.083 --> 00:12:01.152
Don't be surprised what it all collapses.
00:12:01.152 --> 00:12:02.953
Don't be surprised when the relationship collapse collapses
00:12:04.121 --> 00:12:06.724
Or these things start to fall apart.
00:12:06.724 --> 00:12:08.726
Let's look at the scripture here.
00:12:08.726 --> 00:12:10.494
Matthew chapter six, verse 33.
00:12:10.494 --> 00:12:12.630
I love this right here.
00:12:12.630 --> 00:12:13.697
Jesus made it very clear seek the kingdom of god,
00:12:13.697 --> 00:12:17.034
Not second,
00:12:17.368 --> 00:12:19.203
Not third, not fourth,
00:12:19.203 --> 00:12:21.372
But was above all else.
00:12:21.372 --> 00:12:26.043
It needs to be number one.
00:12:26.043 --> 00:12:29.480
You want to change your prayer life in the morning.
00:12:29.480 --> 00:12:31.782
Ask god.
00:12:31.782 --> 00:12:32.716
God, what can i do to impact your kingdom?
00:12:32.716 --> 00:12:35.820
What do you want me to do?
00:12:35.820 --> 00:12:37.021
How can i move by faith today?
00:12:37.021 --> 00:12:39.390
Seek first the kingdom of god above all else.
00:12:39.390 --> 00:12:42.226
Live righteously.
00:12:42.226 --> 00:12:43.894
Follow jesus and he will give you everything you need.
00:12:43.894 --> 00:12:49.400
Listen to the order again.
00:12:49.967 --> 00:12:52.069
As i walk in obedience, god blesses.
00:12:52.069 --> 00:12:55.306
There's always a promise.
00:12:55.306 --> 00:12:57.007
But notice that the scripture stated this
00:12:57.007 --> 00:12:58.742
He will give you everything you need, not everything you want.
00:12:58.742 --> 00:13:02.680
Are you
00:13:02.913 --> 00:13:03.614
Thankful that god didn't answer
00:13:03.614 --> 00:13:04.481
Some of your prayers in the past?
00:13:04.481 --> 00:13:07.084
You know what i mean?
00:13:07.084 --> 00:13:08.118
Like you could have been there with that person.
00:13:08.118 --> 00:13:09.486
Oh, thank you jesus,
00:13:09.486 --> 00:13:11.222
That you saved me, that you are guiding me today.
00:13:11.222 --> 00:13:14.658
John, chapter 15, verse five.
00:13:14.658 --> 00:13:16.293
Listen to this.
00:13:16.293 --> 00:13:17.361
Jesus said, i am the vine, you are the branches.
00:13:17.361 --> 00:13:21.198
Those who remain in me and i in them will produce much fruit.
00:13:21.198 --> 00:13:25.970
Okay, let's go back. let's go back.
00:13:25.970 --> 00:13:28.739
I said that you are called.
00:13:28.739 --> 00:13:30.574
You belong to jesus.
00:13:30.574 --> 00:13:32.209
Jesus called the disciples.
00:13:32.209 --> 00:13:33.510
He's calling you to produce everlasting fruit.
00:13:33.510 --> 00:13:36.714
Look at this.
00:13:36.714 --> 00:13:37.615
Jesus also is stating, it's not up to you
00:13:37.615 --> 00:13:39.917
For the everlasting fruit to be seen in your life.
00:13:39.917 --> 00:13:42.152
I in the vine,
00:13:42.152 --> 00:13:44.521
I am the vine, you are the branches.
00:13:44.521 --> 00:13:47.124
You have to abide in me.
00:13:47.124 --> 00:13:49.093
You have to remain in me.
00:13:49.093 --> 00:13:51.061
I have to be the source.
00:13:51.061 --> 00:13:52.663
Otherwise every time you going to lose it,
00:13:52.663 --> 00:13:54.732
You got to lose your temper.
00:13:55.332 --> 00:13:57.067
You got to say something you didn't mean.
00:13:57.067 --> 00:13:58.869
You got to go to the wrong route.
00:13:58.869 --> 00:14:00.337
I have to be the vine, the source of your life,
00:14:00.337 --> 00:14:03.874
To tell you what to do.
00:14:03.874 --> 00:14:06.043
And that's why so many of us feel lost right now.
00:14:06.043 --> 00:14:08.979
When's the last time you allow god to tell you what to do?
00:14:08.979 --> 00:14:12.716
Well, i do it every week, pastor.
00:14:12.716 --> 00:14:14.051
No, you don't
00:14:14.051 --> 00:14:16.620
Know. you don't.
00:14:16.620 --> 00:14:18.188
Right?
00:14:18.188 --> 00:14:19.590
I know it's hard,
00:14:19.590 --> 00:14:21.558
But he's the vine.
00:14:21.558 --> 00:14:24.094
He's the source.
00:14:24.094 --> 00:14:26.063
He's the provider.
00:14:26.063 --> 00:14:27.064
He's the protector. he's the one in control.
00:14:27.064 --> 00:14:28.933
Now you.
00:14:28.933 --> 00:14:30.200
And so you have to be in him.
00:14:30.200 --> 00:14:31.802
You have to rely on jesus.
00:14:31.802 --> 00:14:33.837
And this will produce much fruit.
00:14:33.837 --> 00:14:35.472
For apart from me, jesus is making it very clear.
00:14:35.472 --> 00:14:38.409
You can't do anything.
00:14:38.409 --> 00:14:40.844
You can't control the situation
00:14:41.478 --> 00:14:43.147
Or tomorrow or what's coming now.
00:14:43.147 --> 00:14:46.850
What do we do though?
00:14:47.351 --> 00:14:49.053
We compare ourselves with other people
00:14:49.053 --> 00:14:51.689
When it talks,
00:14:51.689 --> 00:14:52.957
When we talk about a purpose, when we talk about a calling,
00:14:52.957 --> 00:14:54.591
I like what they're doing over there.
00:14:54.591 --> 00:14:55.993
Okay, i would like that from my life.
00:14:55.993 --> 00:14:58.896
And so we start chasing selfish ambition.
00:14:58.896 --> 00:15:01.332
That's usually what we do.
00:15:01.332 --> 00:15:03.100
It's very human of us.
00:15:03.100 --> 00:15:04.101
We've all done it.
00:15:04.101 --> 00:15:05.502
Okay, listen to this.
00:15:05.502 --> 00:15:06.737
So maybe this will make sense for you today and bring clarity.
00:15:06.737 --> 00:15:09.506
James chapter two verse six.
00:15:09.506 --> 00:15:10.941
But wherever there is jealousy or 16, excuse me, but wherever
00:15:10.941 --> 00:15:15.913
There is jealousy and selfish ambition, there you will find
00:15:15.913 --> 00:15:21.685
Disorder.
00:15:21.986 --> 00:15:23.787
You want to circle that an evil of every kind.
00:15:23.787 --> 00:15:26.824
When you're putting your own life first,
00:15:27.691 --> 00:15:30.928
You're selfish interests first.
00:15:30.928 --> 00:15:33.497
There is disorder, chaos,
00:15:33.497 --> 00:15:37.901
The reason you feel like a mess and the reason you feel lost in
00:15:37.901 --> 00:15:41.905
The darkness is because again, jesus is not at the center
00:15:41.905 --> 00:15:45.676
Or first in your life. it's pretty clear.
00:15:45.676 --> 00:15:49.513
I mean, it's easy though, right?
00:15:50.147 --> 00:15:53.550
How do you put jesus first?
00:15:53.550 --> 00:15:56.754
Know his word.
00:15:56.754 --> 00:15:59.390
You're going to go through trials.
00:15:59.390 --> 00:16:00.357
You're going to face things.
00:16:00.357 --> 00:16:02.659
Some things are going to be complicated.
00:16:02.659 --> 00:16:04.294
You're not always going to have a clear answer right away.
00:16:04.294 --> 00:16:07.464
But the only way to know the answer from
00:16:07.464 --> 00:16:08.966
The lord is to be in his word. you can't do it alone.
00:16:08.966 --> 00:16:11.035
Can't do it by yourself.
00:16:11.035 --> 00:16:12.036
You can't do it
00:16:12.036 --> 00:16:13.003
Even with good people all around you saying the
00:16:13.003 --> 00:16:14.705
The positive things that you want to hear,
00:16:14.705 --> 00:16:16.373
You need it from the word of god.
00:16:16.373 --> 00:16:17.841
You need it from the holy spirit.
00:16:17.841 --> 00:16:18.876
Confirming in your life
00:16:18.876 --> 00:16:21.011
What you need to do and where you need to go.
00:16:21.011 --> 00:16:23.180
Okay,
00:16:23.180 --> 00:16:24.314
But the second thing i want to show you
00:16:24.314 --> 00:16:25.482
Is this okay, when it comes to a purpose,
00:16:25.482 --> 00:16:27.384
A calling from god,
00:16:27.384 --> 00:16:28.385
Is this stop looking around for your purpose
00:16:28.385 --> 00:16:31.522
And stop there for a second before you go to the next point.
00:16:31.522 --> 00:16:33.524
All right.
00:16:33.524 --> 00:16:34.491
What do i mean by this? it looks like this.
00:16:34.491 --> 00:16:36.326
What do you do?
00:16:36.326 --> 00:16:38.896
What do you do?
00:16:39.263 --> 00:16:39.830
What is your position?
00:16:39.830 --> 00:16:41.198
How much money you make?
00:16:41.198 --> 00:16:42.266
Don't answer that. please don't answer that. okay.
00:16:42.266 --> 00:16:44.501
What do you do? i like what you do.
00:16:44.501 --> 00:16:46.437
I like your status.
00:16:46.437 --> 00:16:47.671
I like the things that i see in your life. so what do you do?
00:16:47.671 --> 00:16:49.807
We are looking for purpose in other people's lives.
00:16:49.807 --> 00:16:54.611
And so we're misled.
00:16:55.079 --> 00:16:56.180
Trying to be like somebody else.
00:16:56.180 --> 00:16:58.615
Now listen.
00:16:58.615 --> 00:16:59.683
All right, so stop looking around for your purpose
00:16:59.683 --> 00:17:02.486
And start looking within at what
00:17:02.486 --> 00:17:05.022
God has placed in you.
00:17:05.022 --> 00:17:08.459
What is god placed in you? this is going to bring clarity.
00:17:08.459 --> 00:17:10.461
I pray i pray that you get this today, okay?
00:17:10.461 --> 00:17:12.529
Meaning what talents has god placed in you already?
00:17:12.529 --> 00:17:17.101
What interest do you have on the inside right now?
00:17:17.101 --> 00:17:20.871
What spiritual gifts has god given you?
00:17:20.871 --> 00:17:25.476
And now it's a spiritual burden because god placed it
00:17:25.476 --> 00:17:29.012
In you to impact his kingdom.
00:17:29.012 --> 00:17:32.382
That's why you have it.
00:17:32.382 --> 00:17:34.084
But here's the question i hear all the time.
00:17:34.084 --> 00:17:35.686
All right, what's my purpose? wrong question.
00:17:35.686 --> 00:17:38.856
Of course, your purpose is to know jesus.
00:17:39.690 --> 00:17:41.525
You belong to jesus called for the kingdom of god.
00:17:41.525 --> 00:17:43.794
But it's a wrong.
00:17:43.794 --> 00:17:45.028
It's a bad question because it's going to leave you confused.
00:17:45.028 --> 00:17:46.964
The right question should be this what has god placed in me
00:17:46.964 --> 00:17:50.000
Right now that i'm not using for his glory?
00:17:50.000 --> 00:17:53.170
What does god put into me?
00:17:53.170 --> 00:17:54.972
What talents do i have
00:17:54.972 --> 00:17:56.406
That i'm not using right now for the kingdom of god?
00:17:56.406 --> 00:18:00.911
Because very quickly david was slinging stones
00:18:00.911 --> 00:18:03.981
In a field before he ever met goliath.
00:18:03.981 --> 00:18:07.017
He was training when nobody was looking.
00:18:07.017 --> 00:18:09.419
Nobody cared about the slingshot until he faced goliath.
00:18:09.419 --> 00:18:13.757
David was also playing music, writing poetry before
00:18:13.757 --> 00:18:17.561
He was ever called to the palace to play for king saul.
00:18:17.561 --> 00:18:21.031
Not only that, but joseph.
00:18:21.598 --> 00:18:23.467
Joseph was dreaming in the pit before he ever interpreted
00:18:23.467 --> 00:18:27.905
A dream in the palace to see it was already built in.
00:18:27.905 --> 00:18:32.609
I want you to see that in the stories here.
00:18:32.609 --> 00:18:34.144
God already built something in, whether it was faith or talent
00:18:34.144 --> 00:18:38.515
Or spiritual gifts. you want to. you want to hear a crazy one.
00:18:38.515 --> 00:18:41.919
Jesus christ, the son of god,
00:18:42.553 --> 00:18:45.589
Was a carpenter
00:18:45.589 --> 00:18:48.025
Working with wood, crafting wood
00:18:48.025 --> 00:18:50.861
Before he ever carried the cross
00:18:50.861 --> 00:18:53.931
To die for your sins.
00:18:54.431 --> 00:18:57.668
Think about that.
00:18:57.668 --> 00:19:00.704
God is always paving way,
00:19:00.704 --> 00:19:03.407
And i feel like we're at this point
00:19:03.407 --> 00:19:05.142
Because of all the platforms out there, all the social media,
00:19:05.142 --> 00:19:08.412
They were constantly comparing and say, well,
00:19:08.412 --> 00:19:10.480
I don't have what it takes or i can't, i can't do that.
00:19:10.480 --> 00:19:13.550
Listen, what has god placed in you?
00:19:13.550 --> 00:19:16.887
Use it for the glory of god.
00:19:16.887 --> 00:19:19.423
And when the time comes, the time comes.
00:19:19.423 --> 00:19:21.758
Let god do what he wants to do with it,
00:19:21.758 --> 00:19:23.760
But you use it for the glory of god.
00:19:23.760 --> 00:19:26.797
Is this helpful?
00:19:26.797 --> 00:19:28.699
Maybe to one person?
00:19:28.699 --> 00:19:29.600
Just one.
00:19:29.600 --> 00:19:31.368
Okay, okay, one person i let's keep going
00:19:31.368 --> 00:19:34.071
Because i believe this is really good.
00:19:34.071 --> 00:19:35.505
This this clarify some things.
00:19:35.505 --> 00:19:37.741
Romans chapter 12, verses four through eight.
00:19:37.741 --> 00:19:40.711
Listen to this.
00:19:40.711 --> 00:19:41.778
Just as our bodies have many parts and each part
00:19:41.778 --> 00:19:45.882
Has a special function, so it is with christ body.
00:19:45.882 --> 00:19:50.087
We are many parts of one body
00:19:50.087 --> 00:19:52.723
And yet we all belong to each other.
00:19:52.723 --> 00:19:54.324
Now listen to this.
00:19:54.324 --> 00:19:55.492
Here's where he clarifies in his grace god has given us
00:19:55.492 --> 00:19:59.129
Different gifts, okay, for doing certain things well.
00:19:59.129 --> 00:20:03.200
So if god has given you the ability to prophesy,
00:20:03.200 --> 00:20:07.871
Speak out with as much faith has god has given you.
00:20:07.871 --> 00:20:11.775
Notice the wording there.
00:20:11.775 --> 00:20:12.876
God has given you faith to prophesy,
00:20:12.876 --> 00:20:15.946
So it's time to move forward by faith and prophesy.
00:20:15.946 --> 00:20:19.716
But i think a lot of times when we look at these gifts,
00:20:19.716 --> 00:20:21.251
We're like,
00:20:21.251 --> 00:20:22.452
Pastor, i don't know if i've ever prophesied in my life.
00:20:22.452 --> 00:20:25.989
I don't know what that looks like.
00:20:25.989 --> 00:20:26.857
I don't know if i could ever do that.
00:20:26.857 --> 00:20:27.891
Okay, okay. well, then listen, it don't stop there.
00:20:27.891 --> 00:20:31.128
If your gift is,
00:20:31.528 --> 00:20:34.998
Let's say that you're serving
00:20:34.998 --> 00:20:38.402
A gift from the lord.
00:20:38.402 --> 00:20:40.137
Placed inside of you is serving others.
00:20:40.137 --> 00:20:43.473
Then serve them well.
00:20:43.473 --> 00:20:45.509
There's a reason
00:20:45.509 --> 00:20:46.710
You had five cups of coffee in this place today, right?
00:20:46.710 --> 00:20:50.047
When i get here early in the morning, in the back.
00:20:50.047 --> 00:20:52.516
Listen, they're serving back there.
00:20:52.516 --> 00:20:54.251
They're cooking for the crew.
00:20:54.251 --> 00:20:55.319
If you want to join the crew,
00:20:55.319 --> 00:20:56.453
You get breakfast here
00:20:56.453 --> 00:20:57.821
On sunday mornings, and it smells so good.
00:20:57.821 --> 00:20:59.956
Listen, i never heard a liver mush in my life
00:20:59.956 --> 00:21:02.826
Until i moved to louise.
00:21:02.826 --> 00:21:03.894
I mean, till i moved here from louisiana.
00:21:03.894 --> 00:21:05.362
And listen, i'm used to crawfish and all those kind of things,
00:21:05.362 --> 00:21:07.731
But the cooking in the back this morning, they had aprons.
00:21:07.731 --> 00:21:10.233
It was so proud of these aprons.
00:21:10.233 --> 00:21:11.368
That said i did at church is cute, right?
00:21:11.368 --> 00:21:14.371
It's a gift.
00:21:14.705 --> 00:21:16.740
A gift of serving.
00:21:16.740 --> 00:21:17.674
Did you know you have that gift?
00:21:17.674 --> 00:21:19.876
You can serve others and serve them well.
00:21:19.876 --> 00:21:22.646
All right.
00:21:22.646 --> 00:21:23.180
Now listen to this.
00:21:23.180 --> 00:21:23.880
If you're a teacher, teach well.
00:21:23.880 --> 00:21:26.550
You can be a teacher as well. listen to that.
00:21:26.550 --> 00:21:28.885
If your gift is to encourage others, be encouraging.
00:21:28.885 --> 00:21:33.457
We all know that one person, right?
00:21:33.457 --> 00:21:34.991
It probably get on your nerves. let's be honest.
00:21:34.991 --> 00:21:36.626
Like life can be falling apart and they're like,
00:21:36.626 --> 00:21:39.796
It's going to be okay and you just want to punch them.
00:21:39.796 --> 00:21:42.199
But you got to understand, like god has placed it in them.
00:21:42.199 --> 00:21:45.035
They are an encourager.
00:21:45.035 --> 00:21:46.803
God put that in them so that you don't give up
00:21:46.803 --> 00:21:49.973
So that you don't stop and turn around.
00:21:49.973 --> 00:21:52.042
Encouragement is a gift.
00:21:52.042 --> 00:21:53.543
If it's giving, hold on
00:21:53.543 --> 00:21:55.645
Giving.
00:21:55.879 --> 00:21:56.713
It's also a gift. give generously.
00:21:56.713 --> 00:21:58.849
And if god has given you leadership ability,
00:21:58.849 --> 00:22:01.184
Take the responsibility seriously.
00:22:01.184 --> 00:22:03.987
And if you have a gift for showing kindness to others,
00:22:03.987 --> 00:22:07.858
Do it gladly.
00:22:07.858 --> 00:22:09.693
Do you understand now?
00:22:09.693 --> 00:22:11.695
But some of you
00:22:11.695 --> 00:22:12.829
Are thinking, pastor, i got a gift of stubbornness.
00:22:12.829 --> 00:22:14.331
Is that in there?
00:22:14.331 --> 00:22:15.031
No, that's just on you. okay.
00:22:15.031 --> 00:22:16.800
The lord can free you of that one. but.
00:22:16.800 --> 00:22:18.702
But what i'm stating today is that your talent
00:22:18.702 --> 00:22:20.971
And the special gifting that you have.
00:22:20.971 --> 00:22:22.572
Not a mistake.
00:22:22.572 --> 00:22:24.875
The spiritual burden that you feel over
00:22:24.875 --> 00:22:26.543
Life on impact in the kingdom of god.
00:22:26.543 --> 00:22:28.211
Not a mistake.
00:22:28.211 --> 00:22:30.313
How are you using it though?
00:22:30.313 --> 00:22:32.416
Are you too busy with everything else?
00:22:32.416 --> 00:22:35.152
The position,
00:22:35.152 --> 00:22:35.986
The relationship, the other things
00:22:35.986 --> 00:22:37.120
Even though they can be really good for you,
00:22:37.120 --> 00:22:39.523
But are you too distracted
00:22:39.523 --> 00:22:40.690
To even use it for the kingdom of god?
00:22:40.690 --> 00:22:42.526
These things are not a mistake.
00:22:42.526 --> 00:22:43.627
God placed it in you for a reason.
00:22:43.627 --> 00:22:47.264
First peter chapter four, verse ten states are like this
00:22:47.264 --> 00:22:50.000
God has given each of you a gift
00:22:50.000 --> 00:22:53.837
From a large
00:22:54.171 --> 00:22:55.238
Variety, but then in that a spiritual gifts
00:22:55.238 --> 00:22:59.276
Use them well to build up yourself,
00:22:59.276 --> 00:23:02.979
As i would have said, is i'm going to wake
00:23:03.847 --> 00:23:06.116
You up this morning.
00:23:06.116 --> 00:23:06.683
Okay?
00:23:06.683 --> 00:23:07.717
Okay, i said, use them well to serve one another.
00:23:07.717 --> 00:23:09.719
See, here's what the devil does.
00:23:09.719 --> 00:23:11.788
The devil tries to twist everything.
00:23:11.788 --> 00:23:13.323
Oh, you got a talent.
00:23:13.323 --> 00:23:15.459
That talent is yours.
00:23:15.459 --> 00:23:16.693
They don't belong to god.
00:23:16.693 --> 00:23:18.361
You can sing.
00:23:18.361 --> 00:23:19.229
You can do these things, or you can.
00:23:19.229 --> 00:23:20.530
You can help people listen. that that belongs to you.
00:23:20.530 --> 00:23:22.432
That's your skill set.
00:23:22.432 --> 00:23:23.500
You trained in this. this all belongs to you.
00:23:23.500 --> 00:23:25.469
Why don't you use it for yourself
00:23:25.469 --> 00:23:27.070
Instead of just giving it all the way to the church,
00:23:27.070 --> 00:23:29.706
Giving it all the way to god?
00:23:29.706 --> 00:23:31.007
See, i know a lot of people.
00:23:31.007 --> 00:23:32.576
I'm telling you, i know a lot of people.
00:23:32.576 --> 00:23:33.977
I did conversation recently with somebody
00:23:33.977 --> 00:23:35.912
Who looks like they have it all together on the outside.
00:23:35.912 --> 00:23:38.849
Money.
00:23:38.849 --> 00:23:40.016
They're known.
00:23:40.350 --> 00:23:41.084
They got a great position.
00:23:41.084 --> 00:23:42.219
They get to travel the world depressed,
00:23:42.219 --> 00:23:45.355
Anxiety, fear
00:23:45.722 --> 00:23:48.291
Because of not being in the word of god, feeling lost
00:23:48.291 --> 00:23:51.761
Even though they have everything
00:23:51.761 --> 00:23:52.996
That we thought would make our life happy.
00:23:52.996 --> 00:23:56.766
Okay, so so satan would try to convince you,
00:23:56.766 --> 00:23:58.768
Use these talents for yourself. no no no.
00:23:58.768 --> 00:24:00.437
Use him. god placed him in you didn't come from you.
00:24:00.437 --> 00:24:03.139
God can take them away. by the way,
00:24:03.139 --> 00:24:05.842
He could allow you in a humbling season to take away
00:24:05.842 --> 00:24:08.545
The thing
00:24:08.545 --> 00:24:09.412
You're actually good at, to show you
00:24:09.412 --> 00:24:10.280
It came from him in the first place,
00:24:10.280 --> 00:24:12.482
But he wants you to use it for his kingdom
00:24:12.482 --> 00:24:15.452
To build an everlasting impact, to serve one another.
00:24:15.452 --> 00:24:20.824
That's what the scripture states.
00:24:20.824 --> 00:24:23.159
So use your talents and gifts, because the talents and gifts
00:24:23.159 --> 00:24:26.763
You have are for a specific calling.
00:24:26.763 --> 00:24:30.267
All right, guys, that's all the time we have for today.
00:24:30.267 --> 00:24:32.669
But i pray that today's message bless your life.
00:24:32.669 --> 00:24:36.406
There is a reason you heard this word today.
00:24:36.406 --> 00:24:38.942
It's not by mistake.
00:24:38.942 --> 00:24:40.410
You're here for a reason and god has a plan for you.
00:24:40.410 --> 00:24:44.314
And listen, if you love this church
00:24:44.314 --> 00:24:46.483

00:24:46.483 --> 00:24:49.386

And i can't wait to see you again very soon.
00:25:23.553 --> 00:25:26.556
All right, before you go, i got one more announcement to make.
00:25:26.556 --> 00:25:29.092
And this one's a big one.
00:25:29.092 --> 00:25:30.260
Okay.
00:25:30.260 --> 00:25:30.627
This year
00:25:30.627 --> 00:25:31.394
We held our very
00:25:31.394 --> 00:25:32.462
First awaking conference in hickory, north carolina
00:25:32.462 --> 00:25:35.732
For authentic church.
00:25:35.732 --> 00:25:36.967
And we saw
00:25:36.967 --> 00:25:38.134
People come out from everywhere, from all over the nation
00:25:38.134 --> 00:25:41.972
And even outside of the country
00:25:41.972 --> 00:25:43.673
To experience what god is doing here.
00:25:43.673 --> 00:25:45.942
So we're doing it again in 2026, from june 4th to june 7th.
00:25:45.942 --> 00:25:51.314
We would love for you to plan and be here with us.
00:25:51.314 --> 00:25:54.184
And if you want to look into more details
00:25:54.184 --> 00:25:56.553
Over the conference,
00:25:56.553 --> 00:25:57.520
All you have to do is click the link below.
00:25:57.520 --> 00:25:59.289
In fact, here's a recap video to show you what all god did.
00:25:59.289 --> 00:26:03.360
And be happy.
00:26:03.727 --> 00:26:07.998
Be. me.
00:26:08.231 --> 00:26:27.183
And the
00:26:27.417 --> 00:26:28.218
Reason i even bring it up tonight
00:26:28.218 --> 00:26:31.154
Is because when it comes to you knowing jesus
00:26:31.154 --> 00:26:34.958
The man, the gospel message is all about
00:26:34.958 --> 00:26:38.862
Your understanding of the message about the man
00:26:38.862 --> 00:26:43.133
Who inform your methods of getting to know the man.
00:26:43.133 --> 00:27:16.366
That this job doesn't work out for me.
00:27:17.200 --> 00:27:19.602
What if i move my life by faith and it all just
00:27:19.602 --> 00:27:23.339
Crumbles to the ground? what if it works?
00:27:23.339 --> 00:27:26.209
What if god shows up and changes your life forever?
00:27:26.209 --> 00:27:29.145
But i would rather move by faith
00:27:29.145 --> 00:27:30.980
And even fail and fail and fail and know that i follow god
00:27:30.980 --> 00:27:34.851
And i ended up exactly where i needed to be, right?
00:27:34.851 --> 00:28:07.484
You know what today is
00:28:07.951 --> 00:28:09.953
Pentecost sunday.
00:28:09.953 --> 00:28:13.123
Pentecost sunday.
00:28:13.556 --> 00:28:16.793
Woo! you better
00:28:17.160 --> 00:28:19.162
Not ask a holy ghost preacher to preach on pentecost sunday.
00:28:19.162 --> 00:28:22.966
I came here to remind you
00:28:23.533 --> 00:28:25.301
You need the holy spirit.
00:28:25.301 --> 00:28:25.301
