From the tyranny of other people.
00:00:22.483 --> 00:00:24.085
Of other people. some of you are prisoners

To other people's foolish opinions.
00:00:26.420 --> 00:00:28.489
Foolish opinions. their unreasonable demands,
00:00:28.556 --> 00:00:30.724
Their unreasonable demands, their domination,

The tyrants who are trying to control you.
00:00:41.368 --> 00:00:43.070
To control you. take charge of your life
00:00:43.137 --> 00:00:45.106
Take charge of your life or someone else will.
00:00:45.172 --> 00:00:47.441
Or someone else will. regardless of what you do,
00:00:47.508 --> 00:00:49.977
Regardless of what you do, you're going to be blamed
00:00:50.044 --> 00:00:51.579
You're going to be blamed for something by somebody,
00:00:51.645 --> 00:00:54.115
For something by somebody, and your ability to get over
00:00:54.181 --> 00:00:56.117
And your ability to get over that is going to determine
00:00:56.183 --> 00:00:57.718
That is going to determine the quality of your life.
00:00:57.785 --> 00:00:59.453
The quality of your life. some of you are prisoners
00:00:59.520 --> 00:01:00.988
Some of you are prisoners of the performance trap.
00:01:01.055 --> 00:01:02.356
Of the performance trap. you're trying to earn other

You're trying to earn other people's approval

People's approval by what you do.
00:01:05.392 --> 00:01:06.961
By what you do. give it up.
00:01:07.027 --> 00:01:10.731
Give it up. you have made other people
00:01:10.798 --> 00:01:12.266
You have made other people your god and master.
00:01:12.333 --> 00:01:15.002
Your god and master. you have built
00:01:15.069 --> 00:01:15.903
You have built a jail for yourself.
00:01:15.970 --> 00:01:18.439
A jail for yourself. saint paul says
00:01:18.506 --> 00:01:19.440
Saint paul says in galatians 1:10,
00:01:19.507 --> 00:01:20.941
In galatians 1:10, "am i seeking the favor
00:01:21.008 --> 00:01:22.409
"am i seeking the favor of men or god?
00:01:22.476 --> 00:01:24.645
Of men or god? or am i striving to please men?
00:01:24.712 --> 00:01:27.214
Or am i striving to please men? if i am trying to please men,
00:01:27.281 --> 00:01:29.283
If i am trying to please men, i cannot be a bondservant
00:01:29.350 --> 00:01:32.153
I cannot be a bondservant to jesus christ."
00:01:32.219 --> 00:01:33.988
To jesus christ." paul said,
00:01:34.054 --> 00:01:34.622
Paul said, "it is not possible
00:01:34.688 --> 00:01:36.190
"it is not possible to please all the people
00:01:36.257 --> 00:01:38.025
To please all the people all the time and please god,
00:01:38.092 --> 00:01:40.294
All the time and please god, so just please god
00:01:40.361 --> 00:01:41.996
So just please god and forget the other people."
00:01:42.062 --> 00:01:43.464
[applause]
00:01:44.265 --> 00:01:48.602
Listen, you are either
00:01:49.136 --> 00:01:50.771
Listen, you are either a father pleaser
00:01:50.838 --> 00:01:52.573
A father pleaser or a people pleaser.
00:01:52.640 --> 00:01:55.709
Or a people pleaser. grace will set you
00:01:55.776 --> 00:01:56.777
Grace will set you free to forgive others.
00:01:56.844 --> 00:01:59.246
Free to forgive others. free to allow others
00:01:59.313 --> 00:02:00.614
Free to allow others to be who they are even
00:02:00.681 --> 00:02:03.083
To be who they are even when they are different
00:02:03.150 --> 00:02:04.385
When they are different from you.
00:02:04.451 --> 00:02:05.819
From you. a preacher wanted to know
00:02:05.886 --> 00:02:07.388
A preacher wanted to know what his teenage son
00:02:07.454 --> 00:02:08.722
What his teenage son would be in his future life,
00:02:08.789 --> 00:02:10.624
Would be in his future life, so the preacher thought
00:02:10.691 --> 00:02:11.859
So the preacher thought he would give his
00:02:11.926 --> 00:02:12.793
He would give his teenage son a test.
00:02:12.860 --> 00:02:15.162
Teenage son a test. he went into his room
00:02:15.229 --> 00:02:16.197
He went into his room and he put a bible
00:02:16.263 --> 00:02:17.131
And he put a bible on top of the dresser.
00:02:17.198 --> 00:02:19.433
On top of the dresser. if it was going to be a bible,
00:02:19.500 --> 00:02:20.935
If it was going to be a bible, the boy would be a preacher.
00:02:21.001 --> 00:02:23.037
The boy would be a preacher. then beside the bible,
00:02:23.103 --> 00:02:24.205
Then beside the bible, he put a silver dollar.
00:02:24.271 --> 00:02:26.774
He put a silver dollar. if the boy took
00:02:26.840 --> 00:02:27.474
If the boy took the silver dollar,
00:02:27.541 --> 00:02:28.342
The silver dollar, he was going to be a banker.
00:02:28.409 --> 00:02:30.578
He was going to be a banker. by the silver dollar,
00:02:30.644 --> 00:02:31.779
By the silver dollar, he put a bottle of whiskey.
00:02:31.845 --> 00:02:35.649
He put a bottle of whiskey. if he didn't take the first two,
00:02:35.716 --> 00:02:37.518
If he didn't take the first two, he was going
00:02:37.585 --> 00:02:38.152
He was going to be a worthless drunk.
00:02:38.219 --> 00:02:40.221
To be a worthless drunk. and the fourth,
00:02:40.287 --> 00:02:41.021
And the fourth, he put a girly magazine,
00:02:41.088 --> 00:02:43.791
He put a girly magazine, if he's gonna be a womanizer.
00:02:43.857 --> 00:02:46.193
If he's gonna be a womanizer. the preacher hid in the closet
00:02:46.260 --> 00:02:47.595
The preacher hid in the closet waiting for his son to come into
00:02:47.661 --> 00:02:49.330
Waiting for his son to come into the room and to make
00:02:49.396 --> 00:02:50.898
The room and to make that great decision.
00:02:50.965 --> 00:02:53.667
That great decision. the boy came into the room,
00:02:53.734 --> 00:02:55.436
The boy came into the room, and he took everything
00:02:55.502 --> 00:02:56.370
And he took everything on the top of the dresser.
00:02:56.437 --> 00:02:58.639
On the top of the dresser. the preacher said, "dear god,
00:02:58.706 --> 00:02:59.807
The preacher said, "dear god, the boy is going
00:02:59.873 --> 00:03:00.808
The boy is going to run for congress."
00:03:00.874 --> 00:03:01.875
[laughter]
00:03:02.343 --> 00:03:05.179
[applause]
00:03:05.846 --> 00:03:11.986
God's grace is greater
00:03:12.953 --> 00:03:13.954
God's grace is greater than all your sin.
00:03:14.021 --> 00:03:16.657
Than all your sin. god's grace is greater
00:03:16.724 --> 00:03:18.892
God's grace is greater than all your sin.
00:03:18.959 --> 00:03:20.961
Than all your sin. the bible says,
00:03:21.028 --> 00:03:21.662
The bible says, "where sin did abound,
00:03:21.729 --> 00:03:22.997
"where sin did abound, the grace of god did
00:03:23.063 --> 00:03:24.164
The grace of god did much more abound," romans 5:20.
00:03:24.231 --> 00:03:26.734
Much more abound," romans 5:20. that is an awesome verse.
00:03:26.800 --> 00:03:29.570
That is an awesome verse. have you committed adultery?
00:03:29.637 --> 00:03:31.639
Have you committed adultery? god's grace is greater.
00:03:31.705 --> 00:03:33.173
God's grace is greater. ask king david.
00:03:33.240 --> 00:03:35.342
Ask king david. he paid an awesome price for it,
00:03:35.409 --> 00:03:37.011
He paid an awesome price for it, but there is forgiveness for it.
00:03:37.077 --> 00:03:39.680
But there is forgiveness for it. but i've horribly failed.
00:03:39.747 --> 00:03:41.515
But i've horribly failed. saint peter,
00:03:41.582 --> 00:03:43.183
Saint peter, talking about horribly failed,
00:03:43.250 --> 00:03:44.551
Talking about horribly failed, he denied jesus christ
00:03:44.618 --> 00:03:46.887
He denied jesus christ three times in a 24-hour
00:03:46.954 --> 00:03:48.989
Three times in a 24-hour period before the crucifixion
00:03:49.056 --> 00:03:51.058
Period before the crucifixion of jesus christ saying,
00:03:51.125 --> 00:03:52.526
Of jesus christ saying, "i know not the man."
00:03:52.593 --> 00:03:54.561
"i know not the man." why was that serious?
00:03:54.628 --> 00:03:55.729
Why was that serious? the bible says,
00:03:55.796 --> 00:03:56.697
The bible says, "if you deny me,"
00:03:56.764 --> 00:03:58.065
"if you deny me," meaning jesus,
00:03:58.132 --> 00:03:59.266
Meaning jesus, "i will deny you before god,
00:03:59.333 --> 00:04:00.968
"i will deny you before god, the father."
00:04:01.035 --> 00:04:04.838
The father." but peter received forgiveness.
00:04:04.905 --> 00:04:07.508
But peter received forgiveness. he was crucified upside down.
00:04:07.574 --> 00:04:10.711
He was crucified upside down. he had a great spiritual
00:04:10.778 --> 00:04:12.146
He had a great spiritual impact before he died.
00:04:12.212 --> 00:04:14.415
Impact before he died. god's grace is greater
00:04:14.481 --> 00:04:16.283
God's grace is greater than your faults and failures.
00:04:16.350 --> 00:04:18.619
Than your faults and failures. i've heard people say,
00:04:18.686 --> 00:04:19.653
I've heard people say, "but i'm into the occult."
00:04:19.720 --> 00:04:20.954
"but i'm into the occult." i'll say jesus is not
00:04:21.021 --> 00:04:22.022
I'll say jesus is not afraid of the devil.
00:04:22.089 --> 00:04:24.158
Afraid of the devil. the devil is afraid of jesus.
00:04:24.224 --> 00:04:27.061
The devil is afraid of jesus. the bible says,
00:04:27.127 --> 00:04:27.795
The bible says, "mention his name and demons
00:04:27.861 --> 00:04:30.030
"mention his name and demons scream in fear."
00:04:30.097 --> 00:04:32.032
Scream in fear." demons tremble at
00:04:32.099 --> 00:04:33.434
Demons tremble at the name of jesus christ.
00:04:33.500 --> 00:04:34.968
The name of jesus christ. that's in the bible.
00:04:35.035 --> 00:04:40.174
That's in the bible. there was a man who committed
00:04:40.240 --> 00:04:41.342
There was a man who committed murder and led a nation
00:04:41.408 --> 00:04:44.445
Murder and led a nation for 40 years.
00:04:44.511 --> 00:04:45.212
For 40 years. that man's name was moses.
00:04:45.279 --> 00:04:48.082
That man's name was moses. when moses went out
00:04:48.148 --> 00:04:49.083
When moses went out and he killed the egyptian
00:04:49.149 --> 00:04:50.351
And he killed the egyptian and buried the egyptian
00:04:50.417 --> 00:04:51.452
And buried the egyptian in the sand,
00:04:51.518 --> 00:04:52.653
In the sand, and then he went to the back
00:04:52.720 --> 00:04:53.721
And then he went to the back side of the desert
00:04:53.787 --> 00:04:54.955
Side of the desert for a seminar on how
00:04:55.022 --> 00:04:56.890
For a seminar on how to live life,
00:04:56.957 --> 00:04:59.393
To live life, his teacher was jesus.
00:04:59.460 --> 00:05:02.696
His teacher was jesus. paul, he had people killed
00:05:02.763 --> 00:05:07.801
Paul, he had people killed for following jesus.
00:05:07.868 --> 00:05:09.737
For following jesus. when he was a high-ranking
00:05:09.803 --> 00:05:12.339
When he was a high-ranking member of the jewish order,
00:05:12.406 --> 00:05:15.776
Member of the jewish order, before he was called
00:05:15.843 --> 00:05:16.810
Before he was called into the ministry,
00:05:16.877 --> 00:05:17.811
Into the ministry, he was putting
00:05:17.878 --> 00:05:19.413
He was putting christians in prison.
00:05:19.480 --> 00:05:20.547
Christians in prison. they were being beaten,
00:05:20.614 --> 00:05:21.749
They were being beaten, and they died.
00:05:21.815 --> 00:05:23.684
And they died. but god took those two people,
00:05:23.751 --> 00:05:25.352
But god took those two people, moses led israel
00:05:25.419 --> 00:05:26.720
Moses led israel for 40 years to freedom.
00:05:26.787 --> 00:05:29.022
For 40 years to freedom. he wrote the first five
00:05:29.089 --> 00:05:30.190
He wrote the first five books of the bible.
00:05:30.257 --> 00:05:31.325
Books of the bible. saint paul wrote
00:05:31.392 --> 00:05:32.526
Saint paul wrote most of the bible.
00:05:32.593 --> 00:05:34.595
Most of the bible. when you say god's grace
00:05:34.661 --> 00:05:36.230
When you say god's grace is greater than all your sin,
00:05:36.296 --> 00:05:37.831
Is greater than all your sin, partner, you're saying a lot,
00:05:37.898 --> 00:05:40.067
Partner, you're saying a lot, and it's true.
00:05:40.134 --> 00:05:41.135
And it's true. god's grace is greater
00:05:41.201 --> 00:05:43.370
God's grace is greater than your sin.
00:05:43.437 --> 00:05:44.638
[applause]
00:05:45.172 --> 00:05:49.977
Grace is greater than legalism.
00:05:50.778 --> 00:05:53.447
Grace is greater than legalism. let me define legalism for you.
00:05:53.514 --> 00:05:55.315
Let me define legalism for you. legalism is keeping man-made
00:05:55.382 --> 00:05:57.418
Legalism is keeping man-made religious rules to obtain
00:05:57.484 --> 00:05:59.853
Religious rules to obtain righteousness with god.
00:05:59.920 --> 00:06:02.689
Righteousness with god. think about that.
00:06:02.756 --> 00:06:05.225
Think about that. rules that churches make up that
00:06:05.292 --> 00:06:07.060
Rules that churches make up that have not one wretched thing
00:06:07.127 --> 00:06:08.929
Have not one wretched thing to do with this bible.
00:06:08.996 --> 00:06:11.965
To do with this bible. for many years,
00:06:12.032 --> 00:06:13.500
For many years, there was the rule
00:06:13.567 --> 00:06:16.236
There was the rule that if you were a good
00:06:16.303 --> 00:06:18.572
That if you were a good member of this church,
00:06:18.639 --> 00:06:19.740
Member of this church, you ate fish on friday.
00:06:19.807 --> 00:06:23.310
You ate fish on friday. that's not in this book,
00:06:23.377 --> 00:06:26.280
That's not in this book, but it was a global rule
00:06:26.346 --> 00:06:28.315
But it was a global rule because that church
00:06:28.382 --> 00:06:29.950
Because that church had a huge financial interest
00:06:30.017 --> 00:06:32.352
Had a huge financial interest in the fishing industry.
00:06:32.419 --> 00:06:36.056
In the fishing industry. there was another denomination
00:06:36.123 --> 00:06:37.624
There was another denomination that when women went to church,
00:06:37.691 --> 00:06:40.761

Some of them couldn't even wear makeup.
00:06:48.068 --> 00:06:50.070
Even wear makeup. god knows they needed it,
00:06:50.137 --> 00:06:51.205
God knows they needed it, but they couldn't.
00:06:51.271 --> 00:06:51.939
[laughter]
00:06:52.306 --> 00:06:54.041

00:06:55.576 --> 00:07:03.116
There were no movies,
00:07:04.351 --> 00:07:06.887
There were no movies, there's no tv, no fun.
00:07:06.954 --> 00:07:10.357
There's no tv, no fun. you cannot live under grace
00:07:10.424 --> 00:07:12.359
You cannot live under grace and law at the same time.
00:07:12.426 --> 00:07:13.994
And law at the same time. you have to be under
00:07:14.061 --> 00:07:14.828

Any area of your life that's not under grace
00:07:17.664 --> 00:07:18.899
That's not under grace is under legalism.
00:07:18.966 --> 00:07:20.133
Is under legalism. and listen,
00:07:20.200 --> 00:07:20.801
And listen, legalism is satan's theology,
00:07:20.868 --> 00:07:22.970
Legalism is satan's theology, and therefore he controls you
00:07:23.036 --> 00:07:25.138
And therefore he controls you if you leave the grace of god.
00:07:25.205 --> 00:07:28.442
If you leave the grace of god. paul said,
00:07:28.509 --> 00:07:29.309
Paul said, "if you can be saved
00:07:29.376 --> 00:07:30.711

00:07:30.777 --> 00:07:32.145
By the keeping of rules, jesus died in vain."
00:07:32.212 --> 00:07:35.082

You can't save yourself by keeping rules.
00:07:37.217 --> 00:07:39.119

You are saved by the blood of jesus christ.
00:07:41.188 --> 00:07:42.923

Son raced into the nursery, grabbed up jonathan's baby,

Mephibosheth is five years old, and we hear nothing of him

And we hear nothing of him in scripture for 20 years
00:09:15.983 --> 00:09:17.684
In scripture for 20 years because he flees to the land
00:09:17.751 --> 00:09:19.553

The land of barrenness. it's the place of poverty.

It's the place of poverty. it's a place where people
00:09:27.160 --> 00:09:28.695
It's a place where people go to live in exclusion,
00:09:28.762 --> 00:09:31.698
Go to live in exclusion, to hide for the fear of life.

Which shattered the silence of the palace.

For jonathan's sake?" it is a majestic question
00:09:52.653 --> 00:09:54.454

To come to the house of god to discover jesus christ?
00:10:19.946 --> 00:10:22.182
To discover jesus christ? not to discover whether

Not to discover whether our doctrine is or not,
00:10:23.750 --> 00:10:26.086

00:18:18.258 --> 00:18:19.893
That prison -- that prison thing was enough
00:18:19.959 --> 00:18:22.128
That prison thing was enough to make anybody bitter, angry.
00:18:22.195 --> 00:18:27.066
To make anybody bitter, angry. david said, "is there anyone
00:18:27.133 --> 00:18:28.968
David said, "is there anyone of the house of saul that
00:18:29.035 --> 00:18:30.937
Of the house of saul that i may show them kindness,
00:18:31.004 --> 00:18:32.672
I may show them kindness, grace, for jonathan's sake?
00:18:32.739 --> 00:18:35.074
Grace, for jonathan's sake? mercy to the family
00:18:35.141 --> 00:18:36.276
Mercy to the family that tormented me."
00:18:36.342 --> 00:18:37.577
That tormented me." saul chased david across israel
00:18:37.644 --> 00:18:39.779
Saul chased david across israel for ten years trying
00:18:39.846 --> 00:18:41.247
For ten years trying to kill him.
00:18:41.314 --> 00:18:43.516
To kill him. now, he's giving mercy
00:18:43.583 --> 00:18:45.084
Now, he's giving mercy to the family that hunted
00:18:45.151 --> 00:18:46.286
To the family that hunted him like an animal
00:18:46.352 --> 00:18:47.687
Him like an animal trying to kill him.
00:18:47.754 --> 00:18:48.821
Trying to kill him. satan could care less how
00:18:48.888 --> 00:18:50.423
Satan could care less how much you sing amazing grace,
00:18:50.490 --> 00:18:52.158
Much you sing amazing grace, just as long as you can sing it
00:18:52.225 --> 00:18:53.860
Just as long as you can sing it with a snarl on your lips
00:18:53.927 --> 00:18:55.461
With a snarl on your lips and a merciless heart.
00:18:55.528 --> 00:18:56.829
And a merciless heart. if satan can take the mercy
00:18:56.896 --> 00:18:58.464
If satan can take the mercy out of christian conduct,
00:18:58.531 --> 00:19:00.133
Out of christian conduct, he has killed christianity.
00:19:00.200 --> 00:19:03.369
He has killed christianity. christianity without mercy
00:19:03.436 --> 00:19:05.104
Christianity without mercy is just another cult.
00:19:05.171 --> 00:19:06.739
Is just another cult. it's a tree without fruit.
00:19:06.806 --> 00:19:08.408
It's a tree without fruit. it's a well without water.
00:19:08.474 --> 00:19:10.210
It's a well without water. it's a cloud without rain.
00:19:10.276 --> 00:19:13.012
It's a cloud without rain. do you see the type
00:19:13.079 --> 00:19:14.013
Do you see the type and foreshadowing of the grace
00:19:14.080 --> 00:19:15.748
And foreshadowing of the grace of god in this story?
00:19:15.815 --> 00:19:17.850
Of god in this story? once mephibosheth enjoyed life
00:19:17.917 --> 00:19:20.086
Once mephibosheth enjoyed life with his father in the palace,
00:19:20.153 --> 00:19:21.654
With his father in the palace, just as adam and eve walked
00:19:21.721 --> 00:19:23.389
Just as adam and eve walked and talked with god
00:19:23.456 --> 00:19:24.424
And talked with god in the garden of eden.
00:19:24.490 --> 00:19:25.792
In the garden of eden. then satan and sin
00:19:25.858 --> 00:19:27.894
Then satan and sin entered the garden,
00:19:27.961 --> 00:19:29.028
Entered the garden, and man fell,
00:19:29.095 --> 00:19:30.630
And man fell, and we were permanently crippled
00:19:30.697 --> 00:19:32.665
And we were permanently crippled in the fall, both feet.
00:19:32.732 --> 00:19:34.701
In the fall, both feet. the heartbreaking story
00:19:34.767 --> 00:19:36.035
The heartbreaking story of sin begins with men
00:19:36.102 --> 00:19:38.238
Of sin begins with men separated from god.
00:19:38.304 --> 00:19:40.039
Separated from god. jesus says to the woman
00:19:40.106 --> 00:19:41.641
Jesus says to the woman caught in adultery,
00:19:41.708 --> 00:19:43.076
Caught in adultery, "thy sin be forgiven thee.
00:19:43.142 --> 00:19:44.877
"thy sin be forgiven thee. go and sin no more."
00:19:44.944 --> 00:19:48.281
Go and sin no more." what's he saying?
00:19:48.348 --> 00:19:49.349
What's he saying? "i expect you to change.
00:19:49.415 --> 00:19:51.818
"i expect you to change. i expect you to change."
00:19:51.884 --> 00:19:53.386
I expect you to change." sin is a cancer,
00:19:53.453 --> 00:19:54.554
Sin is a cancer, and you either get the cancer
00:19:54.621 --> 00:19:56.055
And you either get the cancer or the cancer gets you.
00:19:56.122 --> 00:19:57.690
Or the cancer gets you. sin is a crimson stain.
00:19:57.757 --> 00:19:59.626
Sin is a crimson stain. it only is removed
00:19:59.692 --> 00:20:01.060
It only is removed by the blood of the cross.
00:20:01.127 --> 00:20:02.595
By the blood of the cross. sin can turn our nation
00:20:02.662 --> 00:20:04.297
Sin can turn our nation into a running
00:20:04.364 --> 00:20:05.298
Into a running sewer of criminals,
00:20:05.365 --> 00:20:06.633
Sewer of criminals, thieves, anarchists, rapists,
00:20:06.699 --> 00:20:09.002
Thieves, anarchists, rapists, child abusers, murderers,
00:20:09.068 --> 00:20:11.004
Child abusers, murderers, sex traffickers,
00:20:11.070 --> 00:20:12.572
Sex traffickers, that describes america today.
00:20:12.639 --> 00:20:14.207
That describes america today. sin can do that.
00:20:14.274 --> 00:20:15.541
Sin can do that. and believe me,
00:20:15.608 --> 00:20:16.643
And believe me, there are people
00:20:16.709 --> 00:20:17.543
There are people in washington d.c.
00:20:17.610 --> 00:20:19.012
In washington d.c. who would want that to happen.
00:20:19.078 --> 00:20:21.247
Who would want that to happen. the bible says,
00:20:21.314 --> 00:20:22.248
The bible says, "blessed is the nation
00:20:22.315 --> 00:20:23.283
"blessed is the nation whose god is the lord."
00:20:23.349 --> 00:20:24.817
Whose god is the lord." the bible says,
00:20:24.884 --> 00:20:25.685
The bible says, "all nations that forget god
00:20:25.752 --> 00:20:27.420
"all nations that forget god are tuned into hell."
00:20:27.487 --> 00:20:31.224
Are tuned into hell." that's a reality.
00:20:31.291 --> 00:20:34.060
That's a reality. back to the story.
00:20:34.127 --> 00:20:34.994
Back to the story. when king david asked,
00:20:35.061 --> 00:20:36.529
When king david asked, "is there anyone in the house
00:20:36.596 --> 00:20:38.631
"is there anyone in the house related to jonathan?"
00:20:38.698 --> 00:20:41.334
Related to jonathan?" a bureaucrat named ziba
00:20:41.401 --> 00:20:43.102
A bureaucrat named ziba stepped out of the shadows
00:20:43.169 --> 00:20:44.203
Stepped out of the shadows of the palace and sneered,
00:20:44.270 --> 00:20:45.772
Of the palace and sneered, "there's still a son
00:20:45.838 --> 00:20:46.773
"there's still a son of jonathan who's crippled
00:20:46.839 --> 00:20:48.041
Of jonathan who's crippled in both of his feet."
00:20:48.107 --> 00:20:49.409
In both of his feet." you can hear the sarcasm
00:20:49.475 --> 00:20:50.910
You can hear the sarcasm in his self-righteous voice.
00:20:50.977 --> 00:20:52.745
In his self-righteous voice. his implication is,
00:20:52.812 --> 00:20:54.047
His implication is, "mephibosheth, he really doesn't
00:20:54.113 --> 00:20:55.581
"mephibosheth, he really doesn't fit in here.
00:20:55.648 --> 00:20:56.716
Fit in here. you really don't want
00:20:56.783 --> 00:20:57.750
You really don't want him in the palace.
00:20:57.817 --> 00:20:58.785
Him in the palace. he's crippled, he's not right.
00:20:58.851 --> 00:21:00.353
He's crippled, he's not right. he's not the right kind
00:21:00.420 --> 00:21:01.287
He's not the right kind of guy for us.
00:21:01.354 --> 00:21:01.821
Of guy for us. i mean, he's just not with it,
00:21:01.888 --> 00:21:03.323
I mean, he's just not with it, you know?
00:21:03.389 --> 00:21:03.923
You know? he's not like the rest of us."
00:21:03.990 --> 00:21:07.493
He's not like the rest of us." lurking in the shadows
00:21:07.560 --> 00:21:08.728
Lurking in the shadows of every church in america
00:21:08.795 --> 00:21:10.663

Are smug, arrogant, self-righteous grace killers
00:21:12.198 --> 00:21:14.167
Self-righteous grace killers who segregate god's

Who segregate god's children with,
00:21:15.568 --> 00:21:16.736
Children with, "they really don't fit in here."
00:21:16.803 --> 00:21:19.172
"they really don't fit in here." let me tell you something,
00:21:19.238 --> 00:21:23.376
Let me tell you something, if you're in here to worship
00:21:23.443 --> 00:21:25.111
If you're in here to worship jesus christ,
00:21:25.178 --> 00:21:27.280
Jesus christ, we love you.
00:21:27.347 --> 00:21:29.015
We love you. we want you here.

Rich believers and poor believers in the bible,
00:21:41.060 --> 00:21:43.529
Believers in the bible, you just read about the saved
00:21:43.596 --> 00:21:45.898
You just read about the saved and the unsaved.
00:21:45.965 --> 00:21:48.000
And the unsaved. the man who has come to christ
00:21:48.067 --> 00:21:49.802
The man who has come to christ and the man who
00:21:49.869 --> 00:21:50.636
And the man who has rejected christ.

Has rejected christ. back to the story.

Ziba answered, "there is one,

"there is one, he's crippled."

He's crippled." david didn't say,
00:22:01.447 --> 00:22:02.648
David didn't say, "how badly is he crippled?"
00:22:02.715 --> 00:22:04.617
"how badly is he crippled?" he just said,
00:22:04.684 --> 00:22:05.284
He just said, "where is he?"
00:22:05.351 --> 00:22:06.519

I want you to know when you see this,
00:24:07.440 --> 00:24:10.576
When you see this, mephibosheth thought,
00:24:10.643 --> 00:24:11.644
Mephibosheth thought, "this has been
00:24:11.711 --> 00:24:12.111
"this has been quite a day for me.
00:24:12.178 --> 00:24:14.046
Quite a day for me. i woke up this morning
00:24:14.113 --> 00:24:15.181
I woke up this morning in lo debar
00:24:15.248 --> 00:24:16.048
In lo debar in rags in a shack,
00:24:16.115 --> 00:24:17.283
In rags in a shack, and tonight i'm eating
00:24:17.350 --> 00:24:18.718
And tonight i'm eating at the table with king david
00:24:18.784 --> 00:24:21.487
At the table with king david in the palace.
00:24:21.554 --> 00:24:22.421
In the palace. i'm wearing a hart schaffner
00:24:22.488 --> 00:24:24.156
I'm wearing a hart schaffner and marx suit,
00:24:24.223 --> 00:24:25.424
And marx suit, i've watched fox news
00:24:25.491 --> 00:24:26.893
I've watched fox news on the wide screen television.
00:24:26.959 --> 00:24:28.828
On the wide screen television. this is just too good
00:24:28.895 --> 00:24:29.996
This is just too good to be true."
00:24:30.062 --> 00:24:32.865
To be true." you hear the dinner bell
00:24:32.932 --> 00:24:33.866
You hear the dinner bell ring and king david sits down.
00:24:33.933 --> 00:24:36.102
Ring and king david sits down. the table is covered
00:24:36.168 --> 00:24:37.136
The table is covered with delicious food
00:24:37.203 --> 00:24:38.137
With delicious food of every kind.
00:24:38.204 --> 00:24:39.005
Of every kind. king david sits at
00:24:39.071 --> 00:24:40.306
King david sits at the head of the table.
00:24:40.373 --> 00:24:42.842
The head of the table. i believe this is
00:24:42.909 --> 00:24:43.743
I believe this is where david thought,
00:24:43.809 --> 00:24:45.511
Where david thought, "thou preparest a table
00:24:45.578 --> 00:24:46.612
"thou preparest a table before me in the presence
00:24:46.679 --> 00:24:48.247
Before me in the presence of my enemies."
00:24:48.314 --> 00:24:50.783
Of my enemies." you're in this building today,
00:24:50.850 --> 00:24:56.956
You're in this building today, and inwardly,
00:24:57.023 --> 00:24:58.457
And inwardly, you are angry,
00:24:58.524 --> 00:24:59.692

You are bitter, you are something about
00:25:00.760 --> 00:25:02.628
You are something about a member of your family.
00:25:02.695 --> 00:25:06.265
A member of your family. this is the day to walk
00:25:06.332 --> 00:25:08.668
This is the day to walk out of that prison,
00:25:08.734 --> 00:25:10.102
Out of that prison, to walk out of that misery
00:25:10.169 --> 00:25:12.572
To walk out of that misery because it will destroy you
00:25:12.638 --> 00:25:14.307
Because it will destroy you if you don't.
00:25:14.373 --> 00:25:17.009
If you don't. it will destroy you
00:25:17.076 --> 00:25:18.044
It will destroy you if you don't.
