  • (bright music)
  • 00:00:00.009 --> 00:00:04.113
  • - praise the lord, friends, and welcome to the broadcast.

  • I'm so glad that you've tuned in.
  • 00:00:07.750 --> 00:00:09.552
  • We're gonna be sharing on foundations of the gospel.
  • 00:00:09.552 --> 00:00:14.857
  • The gospel is the power of god to salvation
  • 00:00:15.758 --> 00:00:19.061
  • To everyone who believes it.
  • 00:00:19.061 --> 00:00:21.597
  • But what is the foundation of it?
  • 00:00:21.597 --> 00:00:23.466
  • We're gonna share about that today.
  • 00:00:23.466 --> 00:00:26.235
  • So, open your heart
  • 00:00:26.235 --> 00:00:27.536
  • And receive the good news of the gospel.
  • 00:00:27.536 --> 00:00:31.841
  • We appreciate you, stay tuned.
  • 00:00:31.841 --> 00:00:34.777
  • (bright music continues)
  • 00:00:34.777 --> 00:00:53.596
  • Open your bible, i'm excited to get to the word today.
  • 00:00:54.663 --> 00:00:57.833
  • The word is so good.
  • 00:00:57.833 --> 00:00:59.135
  • I'm beginning a brand new series
  • 00:00:59.135 --> 00:01:01.103
  • On foundations of the gospel.
  • 00:01:01.103 --> 00:01:04.640
  • And we're beginning from romans 1:16-17.
  • 00:01:04.640 --> 00:01:09.345
  • And romans 1:16-17, paul says,
  • 00:01:09.345 --> 00:01:12.248
  • "for i'm not ashamed of the gospel of christ,
  • 00:01:12.248 --> 00:01:16.118
  • For it is the power of god to salvation
  • 00:01:16.118 --> 00:01:19.421
  • To everyone who believes it.
  • 00:01:19.421 --> 00:01:21.757
  • To the jew first, and also to the greek or to the gentile.
  • 00:01:21.757 --> 00:01:25.261
  • For therein in the gospel,
  • 00:01:25.261 --> 00:01:27.763
  • The righteousness of god has been revealed
  • 00:01:27.763 --> 00:01:31.734
  • From faith to faith, according as it is written,
  • 00:01:31.734 --> 00:01:36.071
  • 'the just shall live by faith.'"
  • 00:01:36.071 --> 00:01:41.076
  • Now, there's three things that we're gonna talk about
  • 00:01:41.076 --> 00:01:44.213
  • In this series.
  • 00:01:44.213 --> 00:01:45.848
  • Today, we're gonna talk about what the gospel is.
  • 00:01:45.848 --> 00:01:50.553
  • Amen?
  • 00:01:50.553 --> 00:01:51.720
  • You need to know what the gospel is.
  • 00:01:51.720 --> 00:01:55.658
  • Then the next message that i preach on this,
  • 00:01:55.658 --> 00:01:58.594
  • We're gonna share on what it takes to receive the gospel.
  • 00:01:58.594 --> 00:02:02.998
  • Notice it says, "i'm not ashamed of the gospel of christ,
  • 00:02:02.998 --> 00:02:06.835
  • For it is the power of god to salvation."
  • 00:02:06.835 --> 00:02:11.440
  • The gospel releases the power of god to salvation.
  • 00:02:11.440 --> 00:02:16.712
  • What is salvation?
  • 00:02:17.146 --> 00:02:18.847
  • When you study this greek word for salvation,
  • 00:02:18.847 --> 00:02:22.351
  • It is the greek word, soteria.
  • 00:02:22.351 --> 00:02:25.154
  • And if you study it in the strong's, it means forgiveness,
  • 00:02:25.154 --> 00:02:29.124
  • Healing, provision, peace, and freedom.
  • 00:02:29.124 --> 00:02:34.630
  • Get it again, forgiveness, healing, peace,
  • 00:02:35.531 --> 00:02:40.069
  • Provision, or prosperity.
  • 00:02:40.069 --> 00:02:41.804
  • People don't like that word.
  • 00:02:41.804 --> 00:02:43.572
  • I love the word prosperity.
  • 00:02:43.572 --> 00:02:46.809
  • - [congregant 1] amen. (congregants laughing)
  • 00:02:46.809 --> 00:02:48.410
  • I am a very prosperous person.
  • 00:02:48.410 --> 00:02:52.214
  • This is a very prosperous church.
  • 00:02:52.214 --> 00:02:55.484
  • God has many promises, in the bible, to prosper you.
  • 00:02:55.484 --> 00:03:00.623
  • Religion has lied to people
  • 00:03:01.223 --> 00:03:04.660
  • And told them that the message of prosperity is a lie.
  • 00:03:04.660 --> 00:03:08.964
  • It's part of the full gospel.
  • 00:03:08.964 --> 00:03:11.467
  • I believe in the full gospel, not just 10% of the gospel,
  • 00:03:11.467 --> 00:03:15.938
  • Or 20% of the gospel, or 50% of the gospel,
  • 00:03:15.938 --> 00:03:19.842
  • Or 70% of the gospel, but i believe in 100% of the gospel.
  • 00:03:19.842 --> 00:03:25.114
  • And when we preach the gospel,
  • 00:03:25.748 --> 00:03:27.249
  • The gospel empowers god to work forgiveness, healing,
  • 00:03:27.249 --> 00:03:32.187
  • Freedom, peace, and prosperity in our lives.
  • 00:03:32.187 --> 00:03:37.459
  • Amen?
  • 00:03:37.693 --> 00:03:38.961
  • He says, "to everyone who believes it."
  • 00:03:38.961 --> 00:03:41.930
  • Notice, you gotta believe it to receive it.
  • 00:03:41.930 --> 00:03:43.799
  • It's not automatic.
  • 00:03:43.799 --> 00:03:45.868
  • You don't just get it because you show up.
  • 00:03:45.868 --> 00:03:49.505
  • You gotta believe it to receive it.
  • 00:03:49.505 --> 00:03:52.875
  • He says, "for therein," in where?
  • 00:03:52.875 --> 00:03:54.610
  • In the gospel, he's talking about the gospel.
  • 00:03:54.610 --> 00:03:57.246
  • What is the gospel?
  • 00:03:57.246 --> 00:03:58.213
  • We'll talk about that today.
  • 00:03:58.213 --> 00:04:00.049
  • "for in the gospel,
  • 00:04:00.049 --> 00:04:01.250
  • The righteousness of god has been revealed."
  • 00:04:01.250 --> 00:04:04.920
  • The gospel ultimately is,
  • 00:04:04.920 --> 00:04:06.422
  • We'll share this in a later message,
  • 00:04:06.422 --> 00:04:09.191
  • But it's a revelation of righteousness.
  • 00:04:09.191 --> 00:04:11.660
  • "from faith to faith."
  • 00:04:11.660 --> 00:04:13.062
  • From the faith of the jew, right?
  • 00:04:13.062 --> 00:04:15.097
  • That goes with believing, right?
  • 00:04:15.097 --> 00:04:17.199
  • So, what is the gospel?
  • 00:04:17.199 --> 00:04:18.434
  • That's what we're talking about today.
  • 00:04:18.434 --> 00:04:20.569
  • What does it take to receive the gospel?
  • 00:04:20.569 --> 00:04:22.471
  • It takes faith to receive the gospel.
  • 00:04:22.471 --> 00:04:26.175
  • And then what does the gospel produce?
  • 00:04:26.175 --> 00:04:29.378
  • Well, the first thing that you receive
  • 00:04:29.378 --> 00:04:31.447
  • When you receive the gospel, is you receive righteousness.
  • 00:04:31.447 --> 00:04:35.718
  • And you know what?
  • 00:04:35.718 --> 00:04:37.019
  • You've gotta receive righteousness, right?
  • 00:04:37.019 --> 00:04:39.555
  • So you can, that's right, standing before god
  • 00:04:39.555 --> 00:04:42.358
  • So you can spend eternity with jesus.
  • 00:04:42.358 --> 00:04:45.194
  • But when you understand righteousness,
  • 00:04:45.194 --> 00:04:47.129
  • Righteousness also becomes a foundation
  • 00:04:47.129 --> 00:04:49.832
  • To receive the other benefits of the gospel.
  • 00:04:49.832 --> 00:04:54.303
  • David said this, he said,
  • 00:04:54.303 --> 00:04:55.738
  • "bless the lord, all my soul, and all this within me.
  • 00:04:55.738 --> 00:04:58.006
  • Bless his holy name and forget not all of his benefits."
  • 00:04:58.006 --> 00:05:01.710
  • There are benefits to receiving the gospel, amens?
  • 00:05:01.710 --> 00:05:05.914
  • But today, what is the gospel?
  • 00:05:05.914 --> 00:05:07.783
  • Well, first of all, the gospel in its simplest form,
  • 00:05:08.851 --> 00:05:11.053
  • When you study this word out, it means the good news.
  • 00:05:11.053 --> 00:05:14.623
  • How of you are glad that there's some good news?
  • 00:05:14.623 --> 00:05:17.960
  • Now, you know what?
  • 00:05:17.960 --> 00:05:19.061
  • I don't watch very much news today.
  • 00:05:19.061 --> 00:05:21.029
  • I don't watch very much news of any kind.
  • 00:05:21.029 --> 00:05:24.933
  • I sure don't like to watch the liberal media.
  • 00:05:24.933 --> 00:05:28.504
  • Cnn, msnbc, abc, nbc, cbs.
  • 00:05:28.504 --> 00:05:34.143
  • Yuck, why?
  • 00:05:34.443 --> 00:05:36.245
  • Because i get mad because they lie so much.
  • 00:05:36.245 --> 00:05:38.947
  • - amen. - that's right.
  • 00:05:38.947 --> 00:05:41.450
  • - [congregant 2] it's true.
  • 00:05:42.050 --> 00:05:44.052
  • - but i don't even watch very much conservative news.
  • 00:05:44.052 --> 00:05:48.457
  • Because all they got to do a lot of times,
  • 00:05:48.457 --> 00:05:50.659
  • Is tell you all the bad news.
  • 00:05:50.659 --> 00:05:52.461
  • And i just don't wanna live my life depressed.
  • 00:05:52.461 --> 00:05:55.297
  • So, you know what i'm saying?
  • 00:05:55.931 --> 00:05:57.433
  • So, i just spend a lot of time reading the good news.
  • 00:05:57.433 --> 00:06:00.536
  • - [congregants] amen. - in fact, i'm reminded
  • 00:06:00.536 --> 00:06:02.504
  • Of a story by lester sumrall.
  • 00:06:02.504 --> 00:06:04.239
  • The first time he went to meet smith wigglesworth in person,
  • 00:06:04.239 --> 00:06:07.810
  • It was in england.
  • 00:06:07.810 --> 00:06:10.579
  • He was riding a train on the subway,
  • 00:06:11.380 --> 00:06:13.816
  • Whatever he was riding to get there.
  • 00:06:13.816 --> 00:06:15.651
  • Probably a train in those days.
  • 00:06:15.651 --> 00:06:17.653
  • He bought a newspaper.
  • 00:06:17.653 --> 00:06:19.922
  • And so, when he got to smith wigglesworth's house,
  • 00:06:19.922 --> 00:06:22.124
  • He knocked on the door.
  • 00:06:22.124 --> 00:06:23.992
  • And he said smith came dressed in a like a blue suit.
  • 00:06:23.992 --> 00:06:27.696
  • He said he wore the same thing every time.
  • 00:06:27.696 --> 00:06:29.231
  • I like blue too.
  • 00:06:29.231 --> 00:06:30.666
  • I just don't vote blue, i vote red.
  • 00:06:30.666 --> 00:06:33.001
  • Amen? (congregants laughing)
  • 00:06:33.001 --> 00:06:35.838
  • All right, so anyway,
  • 00:06:35.838 --> 00:06:39.107
  • Smith sewed up and he said, smith, how you doing?
  • 00:06:40.142 --> 00:06:42.211
  • He said, i'm doing great.
  • 00:06:42.211 --> 00:06:44.780
  • I didn't ask myself how i feel, i tell myself how i feel.
  • 00:06:45.914 --> 00:06:48.550
  • I get up every morning
  • 00:06:48.550 --> 00:06:49.718
  • And i dance 10 minutes before the lord.
  • 00:06:49.718 --> 00:06:52.020
  • I'm doing great.
  • 00:06:52.020 --> 00:06:53.388
  • Hallelujah. (chuckling)
  • 00:06:53.388 --> 00:06:54.923
  • And he said, by the way, you leave that newspaper outside
  • 00:06:54.923 --> 00:06:57.960
  • Because i don't have any bad news in my house.
  • 00:06:57.960 --> 00:07:00.562
  • I only allow the good news in my house.
  • 00:07:00.562 --> 00:07:03.198
  • And most of the news is bad news.
  • 00:07:03.932 --> 00:07:05.634
  • That's why i don't listen to most of it at all.
  • 00:07:05.634 --> 00:07:08.036
  • I just keep focused on the good news.
  • 00:07:08.036 --> 00:07:10.472
  • Then i can be like my granddaughter, ada.
  • 00:07:10.472 --> 00:07:13.008
  • They were going on vacation the other day,
  • 00:07:13.008 --> 00:07:14.977
  • And she woke up at 2:30 in the morning.
  • 00:07:14.977 --> 00:07:17.412
  • Erin said they went in there,
  • 00:07:17.412 --> 00:07:18.747
  • She had all the lights blazing.
  • 00:07:18.747 --> 00:07:20.816
  • She was singing,
  • 00:07:20.816 --> 00:07:21.783
  • ♪ this is the day
  • 00:07:21.783 --> 00:07:24.052
  • ♪ this is the day that the lord has made ♪
  • 00:07:24.052 --> 00:07:27.422
  • She's rejoicing
  • 00:07:27.422 --> 00:07:28.724
  • Because she's excited about going on vacation.
  • 00:07:28.724 --> 00:07:32.694
  • So, i can rejoice when i focus on the good news
  • 00:07:32.694 --> 00:07:36.031
  • Because the bad news is wrong.
  • 00:07:36.031 --> 00:07:38.634
  • And i don't care what anybody tells you.
  • 00:07:38.634 --> 00:07:40.736
  • I don't care what your doctor says, or your banker says,
  • 00:07:40.736 --> 00:07:43.572
  • Or your attorney says.
  • 00:07:43.572 --> 00:07:44.973
  • What i care, is what jesus christ said about me.
  • 00:07:44.973 --> 00:07:48.443
  • Because the good news is the bad news is wrong,
  • 00:07:48.443 --> 00:07:51.747
  • And god has the last word, and i agree with it.
  • 00:07:51.747 --> 00:07:54.883
  • And i'm gonna have something to say
  • 00:07:54.883 --> 00:07:56.618
  • About different things in my life.
  • 00:07:56.618 --> 00:07:58.120
  • Amen, hallelujah.
  • 00:07:58.120 --> 00:07:59.488
  • Okay, i'll talk more about that, glory to god?
  • 00:07:59.488 --> 00:08:01.924
  • So, the gospel is the good news.
  • 00:08:01.924 --> 00:08:04.192
  • And paul talks about that in roman 10:15.
  • 00:08:04.192 --> 00:08:07.496
  • He quotes a scripture from isaiah.
  • 00:08:07.496 --> 00:08:10.365
  • And he says in romans 10:15,
  • 00:08:10.365 --> 00:08:13.268
  • "how shall they preach except they be sent?"
  • 00:08:13.268 --> 00:08:19.141
  • And he says this, "as it is written,
  • 00:08:19.908 --> 00:08:22.811
  • 'how beautiful are the feet
  • 00:08:22.811 --> 00:08:24.212
  • Of them who preach the gospel of peace.'"
  • 00:08:24.212 --> 00:08:28.717
  • The good news of peace.
  • 00:08:28.717 --> 00:08:29.918
  • You can be at peace with god.
  • 00:08:29.918 --> 00:08:32.054
  • You can be at peace with god
  • 00:08:32.054 --> 00:08:33.522
  • Because of what jesus has already done.
  • 00:08:33.522 --> 00:08:36.291
  • Jesus has already made peace between god and man.
  • 00:08:36.291 --> 00:08:40.362
  • He did that in his death and resurrection.
  • 00:08:40.362 --> 00:08:43.231
  • And when you believe the gospel,
  • 00:08:43.231 --> 00:08:45.634
  • You can be at peace with god.
  • 00:08:45.634 --> 00:08:50.539
  • "'the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings!'"
  • 00:08:51.506 --> 00:08:54.109
  • Everybody say glad tidings.
  • 00:08:54.109 --> 00:08:55.811
  • - [congregants] glad tidings.
  • 00:08:55.811 --> 00:08:57.079
  • - of good things.
  • 00:08:57.079 --> 00:08:58.447
  • - [congregants] of good things.
  • 00:08:58.447 --> 00:09:00.015
  • - see, the gospel is the good news of good things, plural.
  • 00:09:00.015 --> 00:09:03.485
  • Jesus wants to save you, heal you, free you, fill you,
  • 00:09:03.485 --> 00:09:08.857
  • Bless you in every air of your life.
  • 00:09:09.625 --> 00:09:13.061
  • The gospel's the good news of good things.
  • 00:09:13.061 --> 00:09:15.297
  • I'm so glad we have good news of good things.
  • 00:09:15.297 --> 00:09:19.134
  • Yesterday, we had men's fellowship.
  • 00:09:19.134 --> 00:09:21.036
  • James lacey shared a fantastic message
  • 00:09:21.036 --> 00:09:24.873
  • On our authority in christ,
  • 00:09:24.873 --> 00:09:27.175
  • And how we're to use that and be a witness.
  • 00:09:27.175 --> 00:09:29.945
  • I left men's fellowship and i went down to penrose, maine
  • 00:09:29.945 --> 00:09:33.215
  • To pray for a man in our church
  • 00:09:33.215 --> 00:09:35.317
  • Who just had a major surgery this weekend.
  • 00:09:35.317 --> 00:09:38.320
  • He just got moved out of icu into a regular room.
  • 00:09:38.320 --> 00:09:42.224
  • In fact, i went to icu and he had just been moved.
  • 00:09:42.224 --> 00:09:44.726
  • So, they told me,
  • 00:09:44.726 --> 00:09:46.161
  • You've gotta go to the seventh floor on the west side.
  • 00:09:46.161 --> 00:09:48.230
  • So, i went over,
  • 00:09:48.230 --> 00:09:49.731
  • And i got on the elevator to go to the seventh floor.
  • 00:09:49.731 --> 00:09:52.067
  • And there was a young man in there.
  • 00:09:52.067 --> 00:09:54.036
  • And he had a shirt, it said, "faith over fear."
  • 00:09:54.036 --> 00:09:57.506
  • I guess he was about 28 years old.
  • 00:09:57.506 --> 00:10:00.475
  • But i looked at him and i said, i like your shirt.
  • 00:10:00.475 --> 00:10:03.445
  • He was going to the 11th floor.
  • 00:10:03.445 --> 00:10:05.013
  • He said, well, i'm here to get chemo treatment for cancer.
  • 00:10:05.013 --> 00:10:08.850
  • I've got lymphoma and i'm getting chemo treatment.
  • 00:10:08.850 --> 00:10:12.988
  • And i said, well, i'm a pastor,
  • 00:10:12.988 --> 00:10:14.956
  • And i've prayed for people and i've seen them healed.
  • 00:10:14.956 --> 00:10:17.859
  • And i gave him a testimony about a woman
  • 00:10:17.859 --> 00:10:20.362
  • That they gave less than six months to live
  • 00:10:20.362 --> 00:10:22.464
  • From the mayo clinic
  • 00:10:22.464 --> 00:10:23.899
  • Who was supernaturally healed in our ministry in 1990.
  • 00:10:23.899 --> 00:10:27.602
  • And then i told him about judy paget.
  • 00:10:27.602 --> 00:10:29.671
  • Judy, stand up right now.
  • 00:10:29.671 --> 00:10:31.339
  • Judy, last year, on march 1st,
  • 00:10:31.339 --> 00:10:33.975
  • They told her that she has stage 4 cancer
  • 00:10:33.975 --> 00:10:37.312
  • Clear throughout her body,
  • 00:10:37.312 --> 00:10:39.081
  • That she only had less than 30 days to live.
  • 00:10:39.081 --> 00:10:41.683
  • And they told her that surgery won't do anything for you.
  • 00:10:41.683 --> 00:10:45.287
  • And they told her that, you know what?
  • 00:10:45.287 --> 00:10:47.289
  • Chemo won't do anything for you.
  • 00:10:47.289 --> 00:10:49.291
  • You're gonna die in 30 days or less.
  • 00:10:49.291 --> 00:10:51.960
  • But i went to the hospital to pray for judy,
  • 00:10:51.960 --> 00:10:55.197
  • And judy was believing and speaking the word.
  • 00:10:55.197 --> 00:10:58.400
  • And judy said, i tell you what i'm gonna do,
  • 00:10:58.400 --> 00:11:01.069
  • I'm not gonna do anything at all.
  • 00:11:01.069 --> 00:11:03.305
  • I'm not gonna take surgery, and i'm not gonna take chemo,
  • 00:11:03.305 --> 00:11:07.175
  • And i'm just gonna believe god.
  • 00:11:07.175 --> 00:11:09.544
  • And i laid hands on her and prayed for her
  • 00:11:09.544 --> 00:11:11.847
  • And agreed with her.
  • 00:11:11.847 --> 00:11:13.115
  • I'm telling you, her belly was all bloat up,
  • 00:11:13.115 --> 00:11:15.617
  • She was all gray, looked like death warmed over.
  • 00:11:15.617 --> 00:11:19.121
  • But i noticed as she got outta the hospital
  • 00:11:19.121 --> 00:11:21.590
  • And came back to church,
  • 00:11:21.590 --> 00:11:22.924
  • In about 30 days, her skin began to turn pink,
  • 00:11:22.924 --> 00:11:26.228
  • And then her belly flattened out.
  • 00:11:26.228 --> 00:11:28.063
  • And just a few months later,
  • 00:11:28.063 --> 00:11:29.564
  • They declared that judy was cancer free.
  • 00:11:29.564 --> 00:11:32.834
  • I told him about judy and then i told him that.
  • 00:11:32.834 --> 00:11:35.937
  • You see, he got off the elevator on the seventh floor
  • 00:11:35.937 --> 00:11:40.075
  • When i got off because he wanted me to pray for him.
  • 00:11:40.075 --> 00:11:43.411
  • Hallelujah.
  • 00:11:43.411 --> 00:11:45.013
  • And i told him about judy, and then i told him about jesus.
  • 00:11:45.013 --> 00:11:47.883
  • And i said, i wanna tell you one thing about jesus.
  • 00:11:47.883 --> 00:11:50.652
  • He's the same yesterday, today, and forever.
  • 00:11:50.652 --> 00:11:53.789
  • And jesus christ still heals sick people,
  • 00:11:53.789 --> 00:11:56.992
  • And he still heals people from cancer.
  • 00:11:56.992 --> 00:11:59.561
  • And i said, the bible says that by jesus stripes,
  • 00:11:59.561 --> 00:12:02.697
  • That we were already healed.
  • 00:12:02.697 --> 00:12:04.533
  • And at the same time that jesus took our sins,
  • 00:12:04.533 --> 00:12:07.369
  • He already took our sickness.
  • 00:12:07.369 --> 00:12:10.038
  • So, can i pray for you?
  • 00:12:10.539 --> 00:12:11.740
  • He said, yes, please, pray for me.
  • 00:12:11.740 --> 00:12:13.742
  • (congregants applauding)
  • 00:12:13.742 --> 00:12:15.043
  • And i laid hands on him and i prayed for him.
  • 00:12:15.043 --> 00:12:16.945
  • And i felt the power of god go into his body.
  • 00:12:16.945 --> 00:12:21.183
  • There was a spirit of expectation i could see that he had.
  • 00:12:21.183 --> 00:12:26.087
  • - hallelujah. - hallelujah.
  • 00:12:26.087 --> 00:12:27.522
  • And then i said,
  • 00:12:27.522 --> 00:12:28.890
  • I believe that that cancer is going into remission,
  • 00:12:28.890 --> 00:12:31.159
  • I believe that you're gonna be cancer-free,
  • 00:12:31.159 --> 00:12:33.562
  • And that jesus christ is your healer.
  • 00:12:33.562 --> 00:12:36.832
  • - [congregants] amen. - i said, by the way,
  • 00:12:36.832 --> 00:12:38.099
  • I'm pastor lawson perdue, god bless you.
  • 00:12:38.099 --> 00:12:40.135
  • And i got back on the elevator and went up to go,
  • 00:12:40.135 --> 00:12:42.838
  • Oh, actually, he got back on the elevator.
  • 00:12:42.838 --> 00:12:44.639
  • He went up to get treatment, and i went to see my friend.
  • 00:12:44.639 --> 00:12:48.076
  • Amen, but i'm here to tell you the gospel is the good news.
  • 00:12:48.076 --> 00:12:51.313
  • We have good news to share.
  • 00:12:51.313 --> 00:12:53.949
  • Jesus came to save you, heal you, free you, feel you,
  • 00:12:53.949 --> 00:12:57.586
  • And bless you in every air of your life.
  • 00:12:57.586 --> 00:13:00.155
  • If you'll believe it, you can receive it.
  • 00:13:00.155 --> 00:13:04.025
  • Glory to god.
  • 00:13:04.025 --> 00:13:05.760
  • (bright upbeat music)
  • 00:13:05.760 --> 00:13:07.262
  • The word will produce freedom in your life.
  • 00:13:07.262 --> 00:13:11.333
  • Psalm 138:2 says,
  • 00:13:11.333 --> 00:13:13.201
  • "i magnified my word above all of my name."
  • 00:13:13.201 --> 00:13:16.771
  • Thank god his word is magnified.
  • 00:13:16.771 --> 00:13:19.040
  • Praise god?
  • 00:13:19.040 --> 00:13:20.275
  • When you honor the word, you honor god.
  • 00:13:20.275 --> 00:13:22.477
  • When you honor the word, you honor christ.
  • 00:13:22.477 --> 00:13:25.380
  • You need to let the word of god
  • 00:13:25.380 --> 00:13:27.048
  • Be the absolute standard of truth.
  • 00:13:27.048 --> 00:13:29.651
  • Praise god?
  • 00:13:29.651 --> 00:13:30.886
  • (bright upbeat music continues)
  • 00:13:30.886 --> 00:13:37.959
  • When jesus was born, the angel's saying in luke 2:14,
  • 00:13:38.994 --> 00:13:43.999
  • "glory to god and the highest on earth,
  • 00:13:43.999 --> 00:13:46.401
  • Peace in goodwill to men."
  • 00:13:46.401 --> 00:13:49.404
  • God can have glory today
  • 00:13:49.404 --> 00:13:50.739
  • Because you can be at peace with him
  • 00:13:50.739 --> 00:13:52.807
  • Because of what jesus did
  • 00:13:52.807 --> 00:13:54.209
  • When he shed his blood and died and rose again.
  • 00:13:54.209 --> 00:13:56.544
  • And not only did he do that,
  • 00:13:56.544 --> 00:13:58.747
  • But you can receive god's goodwill,
  • 00:13:58.747 --> 00:14:01.116
  • You can receive all of the promises of god in your life
  • 00:14:01.116 --> 00:14:05.220
  • Because of what jesus already did for you.
  • 00:14:05.220 --> 00:14:08.590
  • That is the good news.
  • 00:14:08.590 --> 00:14:10.358
  • It's good news of past-tense things
  • 00:14:10.358 --> 00:14:13.194
  • That jesus said when he died on the cross, "it is finished."
  • 00:14:13.194 --> 00:14:17.432
  • He's already provided it.
  • 00:14:17.432 --> 00:14:19.134
  • The gospel, secondly, in its most simple form to me,
  • 00:14:20.201 --> 00:14:24.439
  • The gospel is the message of jesus, we are sharing jesus.
  • 00:14:24.439 --> 00:14:29.778
  • In the book of acts, they preach jesus.
  • 00:14:30.612 --> 00:14:33.214
  • Jesus christ is the son of god.
  • 00:14:33.214 --> 00:14:35.617
  • God raised him from the dead.
  • 00:14:35.617 --> 00:14:37.385
  • He died for your sins, amen?
  • 00:14:37.385 --> 00:14:39.955
  • God raised him from the dead on the third day
  • 00:14:39.955 --> 00:14:42.090
  • And made him lord.
  • 00:14:42.090 --> 00:14:42.958
  • Believe jesus now.
  • 00:14:42.958 --> 00:14:45.794
  • That's what they preached. (chuckling)
  • 00:14:45.794 --> 00:14:49.864
  • You know what?
  • 00:14:49.864 --> 00:14:51.166
  • Religion was afraid of the name of jesus.
  • 00:14:51.166 --> 00:14:53.969
  • I'm here to tell you
  • 00:14:54.436 --> 00:14:55.704
  • That all roads don't lead to the same place.
  • 00:14:55.704 --> 00:14:57.906
  • There is only one name given, under heaven,
  • 00:14:57.906 --> 00:15:00.575
  • Whereby men must be saved, and that is the name of jesus.
  • 00:15:00.575 --> 00:15:05.547
  • In acts 4, they beat peter and john
  • 00:15:05.547 --> 00:15:08.984
  • And they commanded them not to preach anymore
  • 00:15:08.984 --> 00:15:12.020
  • In the name of jesus.
  • 00:15:12.020 --> 00:15:13.655
  • And when they left that religious crowd,
  • 00:15:13.655 --> 00:15:16.091
  • They went to their own company and they began to pray.
  • 00:15:16.091 --> 00:15:19.627
  • God, would you grant signs and wanders and miracles
  • 00:15:19.627 --> 00:15:23.131
  • In the name of jesus, your son,
  • 00:15:23.131 --> 00:15:25.533
  • And demonstrate his resurrection.
  • 00:15:25.533 --> 00:15:28.203
  • And god did exactly what they prayed, amen?
  • 00:15:28.203 --> 00:15:32.707
  • And they continued to preach in the name of jesus.
  • 00:15:32.707 --> 00:15:36.344
  • They said, how can we help, but tell people about jesus?
  • 00:15:36.344 --> 00:15:41.249
  • He saved us, he freed us, he delivered us.
  • 00:15:41.249 --> 00:15:44.486
  • We gotta tell somebody what jesus did for us.
  • 00:15:44.486 --> 00:15:49.157
  • Glory to god, peace on earth, goodwill to all men, amen?
  • 00:15:50.291 --> 00:15:57.098
  • The gospel is the good news
  • 00:15:57.699 --> 00:15:59.968
  • Of what jesus already did for you.
  • 00:15:59.968 --> 00:16:01.436
  • The gospel is the message of jesus.
  • 00:16:01.436 --> 00:16:03.605
  • Now, john was the disciple that jesus loved,
  • 00:16:03.605 --> 00:16:07.042
  • And john shared his story about jesus in his gospel.
  • 00:16:08.076 --> 00:16:12.380
  • He begins in john 1.
  • 00:16:12.380 --> 00:16:15.150
  • "in the beginning was the word,
  • 00:16:15.150 --> 00:16:16.551
  • And the word was with god, and the word was god.
  • 00:16:16.551 --> 00:16:18.486
  • And the same was in the beginning with god.
  • 00:16:18.486 --> 00:16:21.623
  • He was creating all things, all things were made by him.
  • 00:16:21.623 --> 00:16:24.726
  • Without him, was not anything made that was made.
  • 00:16:24.726 --> 00:16:27.328
  • In him, was life.
  • 00:16:27.328 --> 00:16:29.297
  • And the life was the light of men.
  • 00:16:29.297 --> 00:16:31.766
  • And the light shined in the darkness,
  • 00:16:31.766 --> 00:16:33.835
  • And the darkness did not comprehend it."
  • 00:16:33.835 --> 00:16:36.871
  • We're carrying light today.
  • 00:16:36.871 --> 00:16:39.274
  • We're carrying the light of jesus.
  • 00:16:39.274 --> 00:16:41.509
  • And the light of christ that is in us
  • 00:16:41.509 --> 00:16:44.712
  • Is greater than the darkness in this world.
  • 00:16:44.712 --> 00:16:48.416
  • He goes on in verse nine, that "he was the true light
  • 00:16:49.517 --> 00:16:52.187
  • Who lights the way of every man who comes into the world.
  • 00:16:52.187 --> 00:16:56.091
  • He was in the world, and the world was made by him,
  • 00:16:56.091 --> 00:16:58.326
  • And the world did not know him.
  • 00:16:58.326 --> 00:17:00.495
  • He came into his own," in verse 11,"
  • 00:17:00.495 --> 00:17:03.064
  • "and his own did not receive him."
  • 00:17:03.064 --> 00:17:05.567
  • He's talking now about the jews.
  • 00:17:05.567 --> 00:17:07.202
  • Jesus came as a jew to the jews,
  • 00:17:07.202 --> 00:17:09.537
  • But the jewish nation, as a whole, rejected him.
  • 00:17:09.537 --> 00:17:13.475
  • Paul tells us in romans 9:10-11 why that happened.
  • 00:17:13.475 --> 00:17:16.644
  • He said they rejected him so the gentiles,
  • 00:17:16.644 --> 00:17:19.481
  • As wild olive branches could be grafted into the tree.
  • 00:17:19.481 --> 00:17:22.517
  • But in the last days, god's gonna graft them in again.
  • 00:17:22.517 --> 00:17:25.520
  • And i believe he's doing that.
  • 00:17:25.520 --> 00:17:26.821
  • - [congregant 3] amen.
  • 00:17:26.821 --> 00:17:30.024
  • - "but to as many as received him," notice this in verse 12,
  • 00:17:31.226 --> 00:17:35.430
  • "to them gave he the power, the ability, the authority
  • 00:17:35.430 --> 00:17:38.333
  • To become the sons of god,
  • 00:17:38.333 --> 00:17:39.801
  • Even to those who believe on his name,
  • 00:17:39.801 --> 00:17:43.304
  • Which were born not of the blood."
  • 00:17:43.304 --> 00:17:45.707
  • That's not physical birth.
  • 00:17:45.707 --> 00:17:47.976
  • God doesn't have any grandchildren.
  • 00:17:47.976 --> 00:17:50.411
  • It doesn't matter how saved your parents are,
  • 00:17:50.411 --> 00:17:52.480
  • You've gotta believe jesus to be saved yourself.
  • 00:17:52.480 --> 00:17:56.184
  • "nor of the will of the flesh."
  • 00:17:56.184 --> 00:17:57.752
  • It's not by the works that we have done that we're saved,
  • 00:17:57.752 --> 00:18:00.588
  • But by his mercy that he saved us.
  • 00:18:00.588 --> 00:18:02.790
  • Titus 3:5 says,
  • 00:18:02.790 --> 00:18:04.058
  • "and washed us with the washing of regeneration
  • 00:18:04.058 --> 00:18:06.794
  • And the renewing of the holy ghost."
  • 00:18:06.794 --> 00:18:09.297
  • Nor of the will of man, it's not about religion.
  • 00:18:09.297 --> 00:18:12.734
  • Again, it's not about how much you pray.
  • 00:18:12.734 --> 00:18:15.103
  • Buddhism won't save you because buddha can't save you.
  • 00:18:16.204 --> 00:18:19.307
  • Islam won't save you because muhammad can't save you.
  • 00:18:20.341 --> 00:18:25.446
  • Only jesus can save you
  • 00:18:25.947 --> 00:18:27.982
  • Because jesus is the only one who was god, who became a man,
  • 00:18:27.982 --> 00:18:33.354
  • Born of a virgin, lived a sinless, holy, perfect, pure life,
  • 00:18:34.589 --> 00:18:37.091
  • Died on the cross for your sins,
  • 00:18:37.091 --> 00:18:39.027
  • And god raised him from the dead and made him lord.
  • 00:18:39.027 --> 00:18:42.764
  • And jesus sent the holy spirit.
  • 00:18:42.764 --> 00:18:44.832
  • And one day, he'll come again
  • 00:18:44.832 --> 00:18:46.634
  • To receive all of those who believe on him.
  • 00:18:46.634 --> 00:18:49.837
  • - [congregants] amen.
  • 00:18:49.837 --> 00:18:50.772
  • (congregants applauding)
  • 00:18:50.772 --> 00:18:53.374
  • - but it's not by religion that we're saved,
  • 00:18:53.374 --> 00:18:55.677
  • It's not by ideas of our mind.
  • 00:18:55.677 --> 00:18:59.113
  • But you must be born of god.
  • 00:18:59.714 --> 00:19:01.282
  • That's why jesus said in john 3, "you must be born again."
  • 00:19:01.282 --> 00:19:04.852
  • He said in verse 14,
  • 00:19:05.320 --> 00:19:06.821
  • "and the word jesus was made flesh and dwelt among us.
  • 00:19:06.821 --> 00:19:09.324
  • And we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten,
  • 00:19:09.324 --> 00:19:12.594
  • The only one of the father.
  • 00:19:12.594 --> 00:19:15.563
  • Full," now, notice what he says, "of grace and truth."
  • 00:19:15.563 --> 00:19:20.168
  • The gospel's the message of jesus.
  • 00:19:20.935 --> 00:19:23.171
  • "jesus, who is god, became flesh.
  • 00:19:23.171 --> 00:19:25.506
  • And he lived among us.
  • 00:19:25.506 --> 00:19:26.674
  • He was full of grace and truth.
  • 00:19:26.674 --> 00:19:29.410
  • John bore witness of him and cried,
  • 00:19:29.410 --> 00:19:31.045
  • Said, 'this is he of whom i spoke.
  • 00:19:31.045 --> 00:19:32.947
  • He who comes after me is preferred before me
  • 00:19:32.947 --> 00:19:35.416
  • For he was before me.'
  • 00:19:35.416 --> 00:19:37.819
  • Of his fullness, we have all received grace for grace."
  • 00:19:37.819 --> 00:19:40.822
  • How many of you know you received the grace of god
  • 00:19:40.822 --> 00:19:42.924
  • So you can fulfill the grace of god on your life?
  • 00:19:42.924 --> 00:19:46.427
  • Not only that, but he gives more grace.
  • 00:19:47.262 --> 00:19:49.631
  • There was grace on us even before we were born.
  • 00:19:49.631 --> 00:19:52.600
  • Paul says this in 2 timothy 1:8.
  • 00:19:52.600 --> 00:19:57.171
  • He said that before the foundation of the world,
  • 00:19:58.139 --> 00:20:00.174
  • God knew us and he called us and he saved us by his grace.
  • 00:20:00.174 --> 00:20:03.645
  • That's amazing grace.
  • 00:20:03.645 --> 00:20:05.580
  • But as you study the bible, we're saved by grace,
  • 00:20:06.614 --> 00:20:08.916
  • We're to grow in grace, there's gifts of grace.
  • 00:20:08.916 --> 00:20:12.587
  • Amen?
  • 00:20:12.587 --> 00:20:14.188
  • The bible also says this, that there's grace for eternity.
  • 00:20:14.188 --> 00:20:17.191
  • That in eternity, we might receive
  • 00:20:17.191 --> 00:20:19.360
  • The exceeding riches of his grace
  • 00:20:19.360 --> 00:20:21.663
  • In his kindness to us in the person of jesus christ,
  • 00:20:21.663 --> 00:20:24.999
  • In ephesians 2:7.
  • 00:20:24.999 --> 00:20:29.537
  • Grace upon grace.
  • 00:20:29.971 --> 00:20:31.606
  • Notice verse 17, "for the law was given by moses,
  • 00:20:32.607 --> 00:20:35.910
  • But grace and truth came by jesus christ.
  • 00:20:35.910 --> 00:20:39.247
  • No man has seen god at any time,
  • 00:20:39.247 --> 00:20:41.316
  • But the only begotten son who is in the bosom of the father,
  • 00:20:41.316 --> 00:20:44.419
  • He has declared him."
  • 00:20:44.419 --> 00:20:46.654
  • Notice what he says, he says, "the law was given by moses,
  • 00:20:47.822 --> 00:20:51.259
  • But grace and truth came by jesus christ."
  • 00:20:51.259 --> 00:20:56.831
  • Let me show you a little gospel equation.
  • 00:20:57.699 --> 00:21:01.069
  • Truth minus grace equals law.
  • 00:21:01.703 --> 00:21:07.041
  • And if you read what paul says about law in romans 7,
  • 00:21:08.142 --> 00:21:12.914
  • Paul says, "that would should have been life to me,
  • 00:21:13.948 --> 00:21:16.351
  • Brought death."
  • 00:21:16.351 --> 00:21:18.219
  • But truth plus grace equals jesus that brings life.
  • 00:21:19.253 --> 00:21:24.859
  • And you know, it's so easy to move from grace and truth
  • 00:21:25.960 --> 00:21:33.101
  • To truth without grace.
  • 00:21:33.601 --> 00:21:38.139
  • Just the other day, we had a consultation by somebody.
  • 00:21:39.240 --> 00:21:42.577
  • And this person is actually working for pastor mac hammond.
  • 00:21:42.577 --> 00:21:45.146
  • He's a great pastor.
  • 00:21:45.146 --> 00:21:46.881
  • He's helped mac, they're reaching 10 times as many people,
  • 00:21:46.881 --> 00:21:50.918
  • They're doing it with 10%
  • 00:21:50.918 --> 00:21:52.787
  • Of the money that they were using before,
  • 00:21:52.787 --> 00:21:55.223
  • And yet they're being 10 times more effective.
  • 00:21:56.157 --> 00:21:58.559
  • So, this person came and consulted us.
  • 00:21:58.559 --> 00:22:00.228
  • He told us some things we could do.
  • 00:22:00.228 --> 00:22:02.063
  • He said, you can make some video shorts
  • 00:22:02.063 --> 00:22:03.631
  • And you can put 'em in certain places.
  • 00:22:03.631 --> 00:22:05.299
  • Connect them to your youtube channel
  • 00:22:05.299 --> 00:22:07.769
  • And different social media and people can get ahold of them.
  • 00:22:07.769 --> 00:22:10.772
  • So, one of my guys made this fantastic video.
  • 00:22:10.772 --> 00:22:13.741
  • It's from a message that i just recently preached.
  • 00:22:13.741 --> 00:22:17.812
  • I'm not gonna tell you what it's about.
  • 00:22:17.812 --> 00:22:19.781
  • (congregant 4 speaking indistinctly)
  • 00:22:19.781 --> 00:22:21.482
  • (lawson laughing)
  • 00:22:21.482 --> 00:22:23.484
  • Did you see the video?
  • 00:22:23.484 --> 00:22:25.753
  • But anyway,
  • 00:22:26.087 --> 00:22:27.455
  • This video would've got lots and lots of views, right?
  • 00:22:28.523 --> 00:22:33.528
  • Probably millions of views.
  • 00:22:34.128 --> 00:22:35.696
  • It's like literally the best video that i've ever seen.
  • 00:22:35.696 --> 00:22:38.399
  • I'm like, yes, i love it.
  • 00:22:38.399 --> 00:22:40.535
  • (congregants laughing)
  • 00:22:40.535 --> 00:22:41.969
  • My daughter-in-law heather's like, yes, i love it.
  • 00:22:41.969 --> 00:22:44.705
  • But my wife, barbara, and my son, aaron, said,
  • 00:22:45.640 --> 00:22:48.910
  • We love it when you heard it
  • 00:22:49.510 --> 00:22:50.912
  • The full context of the message.
  • 00:22:50.912 --> 00:22:52.847
  • However, it is truth, it is bible,
  • 00:22:52.847 --> 00:22:58.152
  • But it does not minister grace to the hearers.
  • 00:22:59.086 --> 00:23:04.292
  • We don't think that's really who you are.
  • 00:23:05.193 --> 00:23:08.696
  • Aaron and heather said this, they said,
  • 00:23:09.564 --> 00:23:11.132
  • Dad, you're one of the most gracious people that we know.
  • 00:23:11.132 --> 00:23:13.534
  • You're so gracious with sinners in the church.
  • 00:23:13.534 --> 00:23:17.972
  • Stuff that just, you're very,
  • 00:23:17.972 --> 00:23:20.975
  • And i am very gracious with people as a whole.
  • 00:23:20.975 --> 00:23:23.110
  • Now, once in a while i get mad.
  • 00:23:23.110 --> 00:23:24.779
  • But jesus got mad once in a while too.
  • 00:23:24.779 --> 00:23:27.348
  • (congregants laughing)
  • 00:23:27.348 --> 00:23:31.052
  • Okay?
  • 00:23:31.052 --> 00:23:32.253
  • So, i don't think that's all wrong.
  • 00:23:32.253 --> 00:23:34.956
  • See what i'm saying?
  • 00:23:35.423 --> 00:23:38.125
  • In fact, paul said, reprove, rebuke, correct.
  • 00:23:39.093 --> 00:23:44.165
  • And give instruction in righteousness.
  • 00:23:44.966 --> 00:23:46.367
  • That's a major part of what we're supposed to do
  • 00:23:46.367 --> 00:23:48.936
  • As leaders in the church.
  • 00:23:48.936 --> 00:23:50.972
  • And i don't think some things
  • 00:23:51.606 --> 00:23:52.840
  • Are supposed to just be left run while.
  • 00:23:52.840 --> 00:23:55.910
  • But as a whole, i'm very gracious.
  • 00:23:55.910 --> 00:23:58.045
  • I not only preach this message of grace,
  • 00:23:58.045 --> 00:24:00.081
  • But i live this message of grace.
  • 00:24:00.081 --> 00:24:01.616
  • So, they said, even though, daddy, it'd get a lot of views,
  • 00:24:01.616 --> 00:24:04.919
  • We don't think that really ministers
  • 00:24:04.919 --> 00:24:07.755
  • The heart of who you are and who we are as a church.
  • 00:24:07.755 --> 00:24:11.225
  • So, we made a decision not to show it.
  • 00:24:11.225 --> 00:24:15.696
  • I actually told the man who shared with us that,
  • 00:24:16.664 --> 00:24:18.766
  • And i sent it to him, he said, that's not who you are.
  • 00:24:18.766 --> 00:24:22.336
  • That's probably better you didn't share that.
  • 00:24:22.336 --> 00:24:24.805
  • But it would get a lot of views.
  • 00:24:24.805 --> 00:24:26.674
  • (laughing)
  • 00:24:26.674 --> 00:24:28.576
  • See, but you have to decide.
  • 00:24:28.576 --> 00:24:30.845
  • Do you wanna minister grace to people,
  • 00:24:30.845 --> 00:24:33.247
  • Do you wanna minister the gospel to people,
  • 00:24:33.247 --> 00:24:35.683
  • Or do you just want to tell them the truth?
  • 00:24:35.683 --> 00:24:37.184
  • 'cause sometimes, people got ahold of the truth,
  • 00:24:37.184 --> 00:24:39.420
  • But they have literally no grace whatsoever.
  • 00:24:39.420 --> 00:24:44.358
  • And you know what?
  • 00:24:44.358 --> 00:24:45.626
  • Truth minus grace equals law that produces death.
  • 00:24:45.626 --> 00:24:48.296
  • Paul said, "that was supposed to bring life, brought death."
  • 00:24:48.296 --> 00:24:50.798
  • But truth plus grace equals jesus that brings life.
  • 00:24:50.798 --> 00:24:56.137
  • And we need to keep sharing the truth enfolded in love,
  • 00:24:57.271 --> 00:25:01.776
  • Enfolded in the grace of god
  • 00:25:02.376 --> 00:25:04.512
  • So we can bring people to know jesus.
  • 00:25:04.512 --> 00:25:07.114
  • (bright upbeat music)
  • 00:25:07.114 --> 00:25:08.749
  • Friends, we've been talking
  • 00:25:08.749 --> 00:25:10.051
  • About the foundation of the gospel,
  • 00:25:10.051 --> 00:25:11.986
  • We've been talking about grace.
  • 00:25:11.986 --> 00:25:14.121
  • It was six years after i started pastoring
  • 00:25:14.121 --> 00:25:17.758
  • Before i got a revelation of grace.
  • 00:25:17.758 --> 00:25:21.195
  • And that revelation has revolutionized my life.
  • 00:25:21.195 --> 00:25:25.166
  • And i know it will revolutionize yours too.
  • 00:25:25.166 --> 00:25:28.569
  • And that's why we've made this teaching
  • 00:25:28.569 --> 00:25:31.105
  • On the foundation of the gospel absolutely free of charge
  • 00:25:31.105 --> 00:25:35.176
  • On our website, downloadable audio and downloadable video.
  • 00:25:35.176 --> 00:25:39.380
  • We want you to go there and check it out.
  • 00:25:39.380 --> 00:25:41.882
  • Also, we have trained prayer ministers
  • 00:25:41.882 --> 00:25:44.218
  • That are waiting to receive your call.
  • 00:25:44.218 --> 00:25:46.687
  • If you need prayer or if you want a partner,
  • 00:25:46.687 --> 00:25:49.824
  • Be sure and give us a call today.
  • 00:25:49.824 --> 00:25:52.026
  • And thanks so much for being here today.
  • 00:25:52.026 --> 00:25:55.630
  • Blessings.
  • 00:25:55.630 --> 00:25:56.831
