- Sold him into slavery. his brothers are standing
- 00:17:07.454 --> 00:17:08.455
- His brothers are standing before him.
- 00:17:08.521 --> 00:17:09.055
- Before him. joseph is royalty and he has

- 00:17:26.873 --> 00:17:29.142
- Whom you sold into slavery." listen.
- 00:17:29.209 --> 00:17:30.310
- Listen. "but do not be angry with
- 00:17:30.376 --> 00:17:31.711
- "but do not be angry with yourselves because you
- 00:17:31.778 --> 00:17:34.314
- Yourselves because you sold me here;
- 00:17:34.380 --> 00:17:35.815
- Sold me here; for god sent me here before
- 00:17:35.882 --> 00:17:37.884
- For god sent me here before you to preserve your life."

- 00:17:42.322 --> 00:17:44.457
- His brothers and he wept over them."
- 00:17:44.524 --> 00:17:45.825
- Them." wow!
- 00:17:45.892 --> 00:17:49.195
- Wow! just get a picture of that.
- 00:17:49.262 --> 00:17:51.831
- Just get a picture of that. he had the power to kill them,
- 00:17:51.898 --> 00:17:54.400
- He had the power to kill them, but he kissed them.
- 00:17:54.467 --> 00:17:57.170
- But he kissed them. does that describe you?
- 00:17:57.237 --> 00:18:01.407
- Does that describe you? what's your response to
- 00:18:01.474 --> 00:18:02.509
- What's your response to an offense?
- 00:18:02.575 --> 00:18:04.711
- An offense? resentment?
- 00:18:04.777 --> 00:18:05.578
- Resentment? bitterness?
- 00:18:05.645 --> 00:18:07.447
- Bitterness? anger?
- 00:18:07.514 --> 00:18:11.584
- Anger? think about it.
- 00:18:11.651 --> 00:18:13.786
- Think about it. paul says you have taken
- 00:18:13.853 --> 00:18:15.188
- Paul says you have taken satan's bait.
- 00:18:15.255 --> 00:18:17.357
- Satan's bait. and you are now satan's agent
- 00:18:17.423 --> 00:18:19.659
- And you are now satan's agent in your family,
- 00:18:19.726 --> 00:18:20.860
- In your family, in your church,
- 00:18:20.927 --> 00:18:22.295
- In your church, or in your business.
- 00:18:22.362 --> 00:18:24.097
- Or in your business. the second pit is the pit
- 00:18:24.164 --> 00:18:25.198
- The second pit is the pit of failure.
- 00:18:25.265 --> 00:18:27.066
- Of failure. who here has not failed?
- 00:18:27.133 --> 00:18:28.835
- Who here has not failed? i certainly have
- 00:18:28.902 --> 00:18:30.570
- I certainly have miserably sometimes.
- 00:18:30.637 --> 00:18:33.239
- Miserably sometimes. but god always comes by
- 00:18:33.306 --> 00:18:36.309
- But god always comes by and says,
- 00:18:36.376 --> 00:18:36.976
- And says, "stay the course."
- 00:18:37.043 --> 00:18:38.811
- "stay the course." falling into a pit does not
- 00:18:38.878 --> 00:18:40.780
- Falling into a pit does not make you a failure.
- 00:18:40.847 --> 00:18:42.515
- Make you a failure. staying in the pit makes you
- 00:18:42.582 --> 00:18:44.651
- Staying in the pit makes you a failure.
- 00:18:44.717 --> 00:18:45.752
- A failure. get up and get out of it!
- 00:18:45.818 --> 00:18:48.154
- Get up and get out of it! [amen.]
- 00:18:48.221 --> 00:18:48.721
- [amen.] (applause)
- 00:18:48.788 --> 00:18:54.761
- (applause) and lastly,
- 00:18:54.827 --> 00:18:56.129
- And lastly, the third pit is the pit of
- 00:18:56.196 --> 00:18:57.330
- The third pit is the pit of success.
- 00:18:57.397 --> 00:18:58.865
- Success. it's true that nothing
- 00:18:58.932 --> 00:18:59.799
- It's true that nothing succeeds like success,
- 00:18:59.866 --> 00:19:01.134
- Succeeds like success, and it's also true that
- 00:19:01.201 --> 00:19:02.569
- And it's also true that nothing destroys like success.
- 00:19:02.635 --> 00:19:05.271
- Nothing destroys like success. move lives have been destroyed
- 00:19:05.338 --> 00:19:06.472
- Move lives have been destroyed by success than failure.
- 00:19:06.539 --> 00:19:08.675
- By success than failure. multitudes fall into the pit
- 00:19:08.741 --> 00:19:10.176
- Multitudes fall into the pit called success
- 00:19:10.243 --> 00:19:11.377
- Called success and fail to grow.
- 00:19:11.444 --> 00:19:12.979
- And fail to grow. they fail to develop.
- 00:19:13.046 --> 00:19:14.347
- They fail to develop. they fail to reach
- 00:19:14.414 --> 00:19:15.281
- They fail to reach their potential.
- 00:19:15.348 --> 00:19:16.482
- Their potential. they are stagnated.
- 00:19:16.549 --> 00:19:17.917
- They are stagnated. they're purring over
- 00:19:17.984 --> 00:19:18.952
- They're purring over their successes.
- 00:19:19.018 --> 00:19:19.986
- Their successes. listen.
- 00:19:20.053 --> 00:19:20.820
- Listen. the minute you get satisfied
- 00:19:20.887 --> 00:19:22.722
- The minute you get satisfied with what you've accomplished,
- 00:19:22.789 --> 00:19:24.524
- With what you've accomplished, stagnation sets in.
- 00:19:24.591 --> 00:19:26.292
- Stagnation sets in. this is true of individuals.
- 00:19:26.359 --> 00:19:28.127
- This is true of individuals. it's true of churches.
- 00:19:28.194 --> 00:19:29.662
- It's true of churches. it's true of marriages.
- 00:19:29.729 --> 00:19:31.197
- It's true of marriages. it's true of your business.

- Not by bad people but by good people who have stopped
- 00:19:37.837 --> 00:19:39.138
- People who have stopped growing.
- 00:19:39.205 --> 00:19:40.406
- Growing. there are churches in america
- 00:19:40.473 --> 00:19:41.708
- There are churches in america that have been destroyed
- 00:19:41.774 --> 00:19:42.875

- By success. they have become comfortable.
- 00:19:44.277 --> 00:19:46.613
- They have become comfortable. comfortable churches stagnate
- 00:19:46.679 --> 00:19:48.781
- Comfortable churches stagnate and rot.
- 00:19:48.848 --> 00:19:50.850
- And rot. i want you to hear that.
- 00:19:50.917 --> 00:19:52.285
- I want you to hear that. comfortable churches don't
- 00:19:52.352 --> 00:19:53.453
- Comfortable churches don't take a stand on difficult
- 00:19:53.519 --> 00:19:55.355
- Take a stand on difficult issues.
- 00:19:55.421 --> 00:19:56.256
- Issues. if america wants 4,000
- 00:19:56.322 --> 00:19:57.824
- If america wants 4,000 abortions a day,
- 00:19:57.890 --> 00:19:58.858
- Abortions a day, let's not call it mass murder;
- 00:19:58.925 --> 00:20:00.627
- Let's not call it mass murder; let's call it pro-choice.
- 00:20:00.693 --> 00:20:02.862
- Let's call it pro-choice. if the aclu wants to take down
- 00:20:02.929 --> 00:20:04.530

- Every school, let's just call it pluralism.
- 00:20:07.100 --> 00:20:10.036
- Let's just call it pluralism. if transsexuals want
