Begin a series of sermons taken from the greatest sermon
00:00:15.776 --> 00:00:16.844
Taken from the greatest sermon that was ever preached
00:00:16.911 --> 00:00:18.579
That was ever preached by the greatest preacher
00:00:18.646 --> 00:00:19.713
By the greatest preacher who ever walked the face
00:00:19.780 --> 00:00:20.981
Who ever walked the face of this earth,
00:00:21.048 --> 00:00:22.216
Of this earth, jesus christ, the son of god.

Jesus christ, the son of god. [yes.]
00:00:24.385 --> 00:00:24.919
[yes.] the sermon on the mount
00:00:24.985 --> 00:00:25.886
The sermon on the mount represents the moral
00:00:25.953 --> 00:00:27.121
Represents the moral principles of the kingdom
00:00:27.188 --> 00:00:28.789
Principles of the kingdom of god.
00:00:28.856 --> 00:00:30.491
Of god. the sermon on the mount was
00:00:30.558 --> 00:00:31.525
The sermon on the mount was not a call to sinners.
00:00:31.592 --> 00:00:33.727
Not a call to sinners. it was a call to those
00:00:33.794 --> 00:00:35.429
It was a call to those who professed christ.
00:00:35.496 --> 00:00:37.231
Who professed christ. and christ is saying,
00:00:37.298 --> 00:00:38.632
And christ is saying, these are the attributes
00:00:38.699 --> 00:00:41.001
These are the attributes i want you to demonstrate
00:00:41.068 --> 00:00:42.837
I want you to demonstrate to the world from now on.
00:00:42.903 --> 00:00:45.739
To the world from now on. matthew 5, 6 and 7
00:00:45.806 --> 00:00:48.342
Matthew 5, 6 and 7 is the constitution and bylaws
00:00:48.409 --> 00:00:50.511
Is the constitution and bylaws of the new testament church.
00:00:50.578 --> 00:00:52.780
Of the new testament church. why do we need this teaching
00:00:52.847 --> 00:00:54.115
Why do we need this teaching in america?
00:00:54.181 --> 00:00:55.516
In america? we need this teaching because
00:00:55.583 --> 00:00:57.017
We need this teaching because something is seriously wrong
00:00:57.084 --> 00:00:58.752
Something is seriously wrong in our nation when we are
00:00:58.819 --> 00:01:00.955
In our nation when we are offended by everything
00:01:01.021 --> 00:01:03.124
Offended by everything but sin.
00:01:03.190 --> 00:01:04.091
But sin. [come on.]
00:01:04.158 --> 00:01:04.725

00:01:06.026 --> 00:01:10.431
(applause) the eight beatitudes
00:01:10.498 --> 00:01:11.532
The eight beatitudes are arranged in four pairs.
00:01:11.599 --> 00:01:14.802
Are arranged in four pairs. they are progressive
00:01:14.869 --> 00:01:15.603
They are progressive in nature,
00:01:15.669 --> 00:01:17.271
In nature, meaning they are like
00:01:17.338 --> 00:01:18.272
Meaning they are like a stairway to the stars.
00:01:18.339 --> 00:01:20.774
A stairway to the stars. the first step is poverty
00:01:20.841 --> 00:01:23.644
The first step is poverty that makes rich.
00:01:23.711 --> 00:01:24.979
That makes rich. read with me matthew 5:1
00:01:25.045 --> 00:01:27.982
Read with me matthew 5:1 through 4.
00:01:28.048 --> 00:01:30.251
Through 4. "and seeing the multitudes,
00:01:30.317 --> 00:01:32.486
"and seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain:
00:01:32.553 --> 00:01:34.588
He went up into a mountain: and when he had set down,
00:01:34.655 --> 00:01:36.590
And when he had set down, his disciples came to him.
00:01:36.657 --> 00:01:38.792
His disciples came to him. and he opened his mouth,
00:01:38.859 --> 00:01:39.894
And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying,
00:01:39.960 --> 00:01:41.495
And taught them, saying, blessed are the poor
00:01:41.562 --> 00:01:42.463
Blessed are the poor in spirit:
00:01:42.530 --> 00:01:43.797
In spirit: for theirs is the kingdom
00:01:43.864 --> 00:01:44.832
For theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
00:01:44.899 --> 00:01:46.000
Of heaven. blessed are they that mourn:
00:01:46.066 --> 00:01:47.968
Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted."
00:01:48.035 --> 00:01:50.070
For they shall be comforted." this is step one.
00:01:50.137 --> 00:01:51.839
This is step one. god is going to do a work in
00:01:51.906 --> 00:01:54.175
God is going to do a work in your heart and in your life,
00:01:54.241 --> 00:01:56.777
Your heart and in your life, as you climb this stairway
00:01:56.844 --> 00:01:59.079
As you climb this stairway into the very presence of god.
00:01:59.146 --> 00:02:01.248
Into the very presence of god. [amen.]
00:02:01.315 --> 00:02:01.782
[amen.] father, thank you for

Father, thank you for your word.
00:02:02.650 --> 00:02:03.484
Your word. thank you for those who are
00:02:03.551 --> 00:02:04.518
Thank you for those who are in this audience that love

In this audience that love your word.
00:02:06.053 --> 00:02:07.188
Your word. thank you for those in america
00:02:07.254 --> 00:02:08.856
Thank you for those in america who are willing to obey
00:02:08.923 --> 00:02:10.391
Who are willing to obey your word;
00:02:10.457 --> 00:02:11.659
Your word; that righteousness may abound
00:02:11.725 --> 00:02:13.727
That righteousness may abound in this nation in our time of
00:02:13.794 --> 00:02:16.163
In this nation in our time of moral calamity.
00:02:16.230 --> 00:02:17.731
Moral calamity. in jesus' name, we pray.
00:02:17.798 --> 00:02:19.166
In jesus' name, we pray. and all of god's children
00:02:19.233 --> 00:02:20.301
And all of god's children said, amen.
00:02:20.367 --> 00:02:21.235
Said, amen. [amen!]
00:02:21.302 --> 00:02:21.802
[amen!] you may be seated.
00:02:21.869 --> 00:02:24.972
You may be seated. every word of the text
00:02:25.039 --> 00:02:26.340
Every word of the text in matthew 5:1
00:02:26.407 --> 00:02:28.142
In matthew 5:1 demands an explanation
00:02:28.209 --> 00:02:30.077
Demands an explanation to every christian.
00:02:30.144 --> 00:02:31.645
To every christian. there is, first, the words,
00:02:31.712 --> 00:02:32.947
There is, first, the words, "and seeing the multitudes."
00:02:33.013 --> 00:02:34.915
"and seeing the multitudes." jesus' audience was
00:02:34.982 --> 00:02:36.650
Jesus' audience was the audience of 12 disciples
00:02:36.717 --> 00:02:38.452
The audience of 12 disciples that were listening to him
00:02:38.519 --> 00:02:40.254
That were listening to him and thousands that had come
00:02:40.321 --> 00:02:42.056
And thousands that had come to hear him.
00:02:42.122 --> 00:02:43.390
To hear him. it was the message being
00:02:43.457 --> 00:02:44.892
It was the message being presented to the messengers
00:02:44.959 --> 00:02:46.660
Presented to the messengers who would carry it
00:02:46.727 --> 00:02:47.628
Who would carry it to the world.
00:02:47.695 --> 00:02:48.796
To the world. that is still the prototype of
00:02:48.862 --> 00:02:50.798
That is still the prototype of the church.
00:02:50.864 --> 00:02:51.899
The church. we have the good news.
00:02:51.966 --> 00:02:53.400
We have the good news. and it is our responsibility
00:02:53.467 --> 00:02:55.236
And it is our responsibility to carry it to the world;
00:02:55.302 --> 00:02:57.037
To carry it to the world; that the world may know jesus.
00:02:57.104 --> 00:02:59.139
That the world may know jesus. the text then states,
00:02:59.206 --> 00:03:00.507
The text then states, "he went up into a mountain"
00:03:00.574 --> 00:03:01.976
"he went up into a mountain" to preach a sermon.
00:03:02.042 --> 00:03:03.777
To preach a sermon. it is the constitution
00:03:03.844 --> 00:03:04.912
It is the constitution and bylaws
00:03:04.979 --> 00:03:05.879
And bylaws of the new testament church.
00:03:05.946 --> 00:03:07.615
Of the new testament church. jesus said,
00:03:07.681 --> 00:03:08.382
Jesus said, "if men will not praise me,
00:03:08.449 --> 00:03:09.984
"if men will not praise me, the rocks will cry out
00:03:10.050 --> 00:03:11.318
The rocks will cry out and praise me."
00:03:11.385 --> 00:03:12.553
And praise me." [that's right.]
00:03:12.620 --> 00:03:13.220
[that's right.] the fact is,
00:03:13.287 --> 00:03:13.887
The fact is, the drama of the bible is
00:03:13.954 --> 00:03:15.956
The drama of the bible is projected over the mountains,
00:03:16.023 --> 00:03:18.292
Projected over the mountains, in the scripture.
00:03:18.359 --> 00:03:19.526
In the scripture. at mount sinai,
00:03:19.593 --> 00:03:20.894
At mount sinai, god gave the ten commandments
00:03:20.961 --> 00:03:22.363
God gave the ten commandments to moses.
00:03:22.429 --> 00:03:23.530
To moses. at mount zion, jerusalem,
00:03:23.597 --> 00:03:25.599
At mount zion, jerusalem, the city of god,
00:03:25.666 --> 00:03:26.967
The city of god, was created.
00:03:27.034 --> 00:03:28.135
Was created. at mount calvary,
00:03:28.202 --> 00:03:29.470
At mount calvary, jesus christ, the son of god,
00:03:29.536 --> 00:03:31.272
Jesus christ, the son of god, died for your redemption,
00:03:31.338 --> 00:03:33.040
Died for your redemption, for your redemption
00:03:33.107 --> 00:03:34.441
For your redemption and for your redemption.
00:03:34.508 --> 00:03:36.076
And for your redemption. it was a battlefield fought
00:03:36.143 --> 00:03:37.945
It was a battlefield fought for the souls of men.
00:03:38.012 --> 00:03:39.713
For the souls of men. and jesus christ was
00:03:39.780 --> 00:03:41.282
And jesus christ was victorious over death,
00:03:41.348 --> 00:03:43.083
Victorious over death, hell and the grave.
00:03:43.150 --> 00:03:44.351
Hell and the grave. [yes.]
00:03:44.418 --> 00:03:44.885
[yes.] (applause)
00:03:44.952 --> 00:03:47.955
(applause) then the text reads,
00:03:48.022 --> 00:03:49.523
Then the text reads, "and then he sat down."
00:03:49.590 --> 00:03:51.225
"and then he sat down." he sat down,
00:03:51.292 --> 00:03:52.092
He sat down, as a judge enters the room
00:03:52.159 --> 00:03:54.328
As a judge enters the room and sits down,
00:03:54.395 --> 00:03:55.929
And sits down, the portrait of absolute
00:03:55.996 --> 00:03:57.231
The portrait of absolute authority.
00:03:57.298 --> 00:03:58.999
Authority. the court is in session.
00:03:59.066 --> 00:04:00.668
The court is in session. listen up.
00:04:00.734 --> 00:04:02.303
Listen up. he sat down
00:04:02.369 --> 00:04:03.237
He sat down as the king of kings,
00:04:03.304 --> 00:04:05.072
As the king of kings, because he is the kings.
00:04:05.139 --> 00:04:07.308
Because he is the kings. he is the lord of lords,
00:04:07.374 --> 00:04:08.876
He is the lord of lords, and of his kingdom
00:04:08.942 --> 00:04:10.377
And of his kingdom there shall be no end.
00:04:10.444 --> 00:04:12.179
There shall be no end. he is saying,
00:04:12.246 --> 00:04:13.080
He is saying, these beatitudes are
00:04:13.147 --> 00:04:14.815
These beatitudes are the things i want you to hear
00:04:14.882 --> 00:04:17.751
The things i want you to hear and to obey.
00:04:17.818 --> 00:04:18.819
And to obey. [yes.]
00:04:18.886 --> 00:04:19.386
[yes.] the eight attitudes,
00:04:19.453 --> 00:04:20.387
The eight attitudes, the stairway to the stars,
00:04:20.454 --> 00:04:21.689
The stairway to the stars, begins with one of the most
00:04:21.755 --> 00:04:23.390
Begins with one of the most powerful words in the bible,
00:04:23.457 --> 00:04:25.492
Powerful words in the bible, "blessed,"
00:04:25.559 --> 00:04:26.493
"blessed," "blessed,"
00:04:26.560 --> 00:04:27.461
"blessed," "blessed."
00:04:27.528 --> 00:04:29.697
"blessed." the fact is
00:04:29.763 --> 00:04:30.431
The fact is it's god's passion.
00:04:30.497 --> 00:04:32.099
It's god's passion. it's his desire to bless each
00:04:32.166 --> 00:04:34.601
It's his desire to bless each and every one of you here
00:04:34.668 --> 00:04:36.203
And every one of you here and each and every one of you
00:04:36.270 --> 00:04:37.504
And each and every one of you listening by television.
00:04:37.571 --> 00:04:39.306
Listening by television. [yes.]
00:04:39.373 --> 00:04:39.606
[yes.] he wants to bless you
00:04:39.673 --> 00:04:40.541
He wants to bless you exceedingly abundantly above
00:04:40.607 --> 00:04:43.711
Exceedingly abundantly above all you can ask or imagine.
00:04:43.777 --> 00:04:46.747
All you can ask or imagine. that's god's word.
00:04:46.814 --> 00:04:47.815
That's god's word. that's not my word.
00:04:47.881 --> 00:04:49.049
That's not my word. [amen.]
00:04:49.116 --> 00:04:49.650
[amen.] psalm 84 says,
00:04:49.717 --> 00:04:50.884
Psalm 84 says, "the blessings of god
00:04:50.951 --> 00:04:52.486
"the blessings of god is upon this house."
00:04:52.553 --> 00:04:54.388
Is upon this house." have you asked for
00:04:54.455 --> 00:04:55.322
Have you asked for the blessings of god to be
00:04:55.389 --> 00:04:56.590
The blessings of god to be upon your house?
00:04:56.657 --> 00:04:57.991
Upon your house? god blessed adam and eve,
00:04:58.058 --> 00:04:59.893
God blessed adam and eve, and they became
00:04:59.960 --> 00:05:00.561
And they became the general managers
00:05:00.627 --> 00:05:01.528
The general managers of the universe.
00:05:01.595 --> 00:05:02.930
Of the universe. god blessed abraham
00:05:02.996 --> 00:05:04.431
God blessed abraham as the founder of the nation
00:05:04.498 --> 00:05:05.833
As the founder of the nation of israel.
00:05:05.899 --> 00:05:07.101
Of israel. he said, "i will bless you,
00:05:07.167 --> 00:05:08.469
He said, "i will bless you, and i will make your name
00:05:08.535 --> 00:05:09.636
And i will make your name great,"
00:05:09.703 --> 00:05:10.437
Great," and "i will make of you
00:05:10.504 --> 00:05:11.739
And "i will make of you a great nation."
00:05:11.805 --> 00:05:13.173
A great nation." that nation is israel.
00:05:13.240 --> 00:05:15.209
That nation is israel. today israel is one of
00:05:15.275 --> 00:05:16.510
Today israel is one of the most prosperous and
00:05:16.577 --> 00:05:17.845
The most prosperous and powerful nations on the earth.
00:05:17.911 --> 00:05:20.381

Your house. [yes.]

Of the lord." it's not the mother's role
00:06:41.995 --> 00:06:44.198
It's not the mother's role to train the children.
00:06:44.264 --> 00:06:45.732
To train the children. it's the father's role
00:06:45.799 --> 00:06:47.768
It's the father's role to train the children.
00:06:47.835 --> 00:06:49.303
To train the children. one of the great tragedies of
00:06:49.369 --> 00:06:50.971
One of the great tragedies of america is the absentee father
00:06:51.038 --> 00:06:53.740
America is the absentee father from the american home
00:06:53.807 --> 00:06:55.509
From the american home where children never knew
00:06:55.576 --> 00:06:57.077
Where children never knew their father.
00:06:57.144 --> 00:06:58.078
Their father. they never heard him pray.
00:06:58.145 --> 00:06:59.847
They never heard him pray. they never heard him establish
00:06:59.913 --> 00:07:01.582
They never heard him establish the pattern of righteousness
00:07:01.648 --> 00:07:03.083
The pattern of righteousness that brings true prosperity.
00:07:03.150 --> 00:07:05.285
That brings true prosperity. [yes.]
00:07:05.352 --> 00:07:06.453
[yes.] the fact is that jacob
00:07:06.520 --> 00:07:07.588
The fact is that jacob blessed his 12 sons
00:07:07.654 --> 00:07:09.189
Blessed his 12 sons with a priestly blessing.
00:07:09.256 --> 00:07:10.824
With a priestly blessing. and every word he spoke over
00:07:10.891 --> 00:07:12.626
And every word he spoke over those boys controlled
00:07:12.693 --> 00:07:14.561
Those boys controlled the future of israel
00:07:14.628 --> 00:07:15.863
The future of israel for almost a thousand years.
00:07:15.929 --> 00:07:17.764
For almost a thousand years. think about that kind of
00:07:17.831 --> 00:07:18.932
Think about that kind of power.
00:07:18.999 --> 00:07:19.933
Power. let's take the first step
00:07:20.000 --> 00:07:21.001
Let's take the first step in the stairway,
00:07:21.068 --> 00:07:22.870
In the stairway, poverty that makes rich.
00:07:22.936 --> 00:07:26.440
Poverty that makes rich. sounds strange, doesn't it?
00:07:26.507 --> 00:07:28.108
Sounds strange, doesn't it? [yes.]
00:07:28.175 --> 00:07:28.842
[yes.] the bible says,
00:07:28.909 --> 00:07:29.343
The bible says, "blessed are the poor
00:07:29.409 --> 00:07:30.177
"blessed are the poor in spirit,
00:07:30.244 --> 00:07:30.777
In spirit, for theirs is the kingdom
00:07:30.844 --> 00:07:31.678
For theirs is the kingdom of heaven."
00:07:31.745 --> 00:07:33.447
Of heaven." what is "the poor in spirit"?
00:07:33.514 --> 00:07:35.716
What is "the poor in spirit"? it's the opposite of
00:07:35.782 --> 00:07:36.817
It's the opposite of the defiant attitude
00:07:36.884 --> 00:07:39.019
The defiant attitude that refuses to bow to god;
00:07:39.086 --> 00:07:41.688
That refuses to bow to god; that says like pharaoh,
00:07:41.755 --> 00:07:43.223
That says like pharaoh, "who is the lord,
00:07:43.290 --> 00:07:44.858
"who is the lord, that i should obey him...?"
00:07:44.925 --> 00:07:46.793
That i should obey him...?" and my friends,
00:07:46.860 --> 00:07:47.561
And my friends, that's the attitude of
00:07:47.628 --> 00:07:49.763
That's the attitude of many millions of americans
00:07:49.830 --> 00:07:51.632
Many millions of americans right now.
00:07:51.698 --> 00:07:52.432
Right now. [yes.]
00:07:52.499 --> 00:07:53.667
[yes.] who is god,
00:07:53.734 --> 00:07:55.068
Who is god, that we should recognize him,
00:07:55.135 --> 00:07:57.070
That we should recognize him, that we should honor him,
00:07:57.137 --> 00:07:58.805
That we should honor him, that we would want
00:07:58.872 --> 00:07:59.640
That we would want his ten commandments in
00:07:59.706 --> 00:08:00.674
His ten commandments in our schools;
00:08:00.741 --> 00:08:02.109
Our schools; that we would honor
00:08:02.175 --> 00:08:02.976
That we would honor him in our schools?
00:08:03.043 --> 00:08:05.245
Him in our schools? pharaoh found out who god was
00:08:05.312 --> 00:08:07.614
Pharaoh found out who god was when the death angel swept
00:08:07.681 --> 00:08:08.782
When the death angel swept through egypt and killed
00:08:08.849 --> 00:08:10.317
Through egypt and killed the firstborn in every home
00:08:10.384 --> 00:08:12.185
The firstborn in every home when god sent the ten plagues
00:08:12.252 --> 00:08:13.587
When god sent the ten plagues that crushed the egyptian
00:08:13.654 --> 00:08:14.788
That crushed the egyptian economy forever.
00:08:14.855 --> 00:08:16.256
Economy forever. then he turned the river nile
00:08:16.323 --> 00:08:17.791
Then he turned the river nile into blood.
00:08:17.858 --> 00:08:18.959
Into blood. there was blood in pharaoh's
00:08:19.026 --> 00:08:21.094
There was blood in pharaoh's bathtub,
00:08:21.161 --> 00:08:22.262
Bathtub, in his kitchen because it was
00:08:22.329 --> 00:08:24.131
In his kitchen because it was everywhere.
00:08:24.197 --> 00:08:25.165
Everywhere. all water turned to blood.
00:08:25.232 --> 00:08:27.100
All water turned to blood. he drowned the egyptian army
00:08:27.167 --> 00:08:28.802
He drowned the egyptian army in the red sea.
00:08:28.869 --> 00:08:30.304
In the red sea. the god of heaven is not
00:08:30.370 --> 00:08:32.005
The god of heaven is not a cosmic cop.
00:08:32.072 --> 00:08:33.307
A cosmic cop. he is almighty god.
00:08:33.373 --> 00:08:34.975
He is almighty god. he has all power.
00:08:35.042 --> 00:08:36.610
He has all power. he is in control of
00:08:36.677 --> 00:08:37.844
He is in control of what's going on.
00:08:37.911 --> 00:08:39.112
What's going on. we just need to ask him.
00:08:39.179 --> 00:08:41.281
We just need to ask him. (applause)
00:08:41.348 --> 00:08:42.916
(applause) what is the perfect portrait
00:08:42.983 --> 00:08:44.751
What is the perfect portrait of being humble in spirit?
00:08:44.818 --> 00:08:46.720
Of being humble in spirit? the perfect portrait
00:08:46.787 --> 00:08:47.621
The perfect portrait of humility was demonstrated
00:08:47.688 --> 00:08:49.189
Of humility was demonstrated by jesus christ in john 13.
00:08:49.256 --> 00:08:52.893
By jesus christ in john 13. the bible says that jesus rose
00:08:52.960 --> 00:08:54.494
The bible says that jesus rose from the supper table,
00:08:54.561 --> 00:08:55.862
From the supper table, laid aside his garments,
00:08:55.929 --> 00:08:57.364
Laid aside his garments, and took a towel and wrapped
00:08:57.431 --> 00:08:58.865
And took a towel and wrapped it around himself.
00:08:58.932 --> 00:09:00.734
It around himself. then he kneeled and he poured
00:09:00.801 --> 00:09:03.236
Then he kneeled and he poured water into a basin and began
00:09:03.303 --> 00:09:05.238
Water into a basin and began to wash the dirty-stinking
00:09:05.305 --> 00:09:06.907
To wash the dirty-stinking feet of his disciples.
00:09:06.974 --> 00:09:09.009
Feet of his disciples. why didn't one of
00:09:09.076 --> 00:09:09.810
Why didn't one of the disciples wash the feet?
00:09:09.876 --> 00:09:12.279
The disciples wash the feet? they didn't wash the feet
00:09:12.346 --> 00:09:13.380
They didn't wash the feet because jesus was the only one
00:09:13.447 --> 00:09:15.449
Because jesus was the only one spiritually strong enough
00:09:15.515 --> 00:09:17.084
Spiritually strong enough to do that.
00:09:17.150 --> 00:09:18.151
To do that. [hallelujah.]
00:09:18.218 --> 00:09:19.052
[hallelujah.] they were spiritually
00:09:19.119 --> 00:09:20.120
They were spiritually too insipidly weak to do
00:09:20.187 --> 00:09:23.256
Too insipidly weak to do the humble thing.
00:09:23.323 --> 00:09:24.725
The humble thing. they were full of themselves.
00:09:24.791 --> 00:09:26.793
They were full of themselves. their pompous ego
00:09:26.860 --> 00:09:28.061
Their pompous ego was their master.
00:09:28.128 --> 00:09:29.463
Was their master. they were concerned about
00:09:29.529 --> 00:09:31.198
They were concerned about sitting at the right hand
00:09:31.264 --> 00:09:32.499
Sitting at the right hand of the master in the kingdom
00:09:32.566 --> 00:09:33.934
Of the master in the kingdom that was to come.
00:09:34.001 --> 00:09:35.402
That was to come. they even had their mothers
00:09:35.469 --> 00:09:36.703
They even had their mothers lobbying jesus for them.
00:09:36.770 --> 00:09:38.872
Lobbying jesus for them. jesus looked at those mothers
00:09:38.939 --> 00:09:40.273
Jesus looked at those mothers and said,
00:09:40.340 --> 00:09:40.741
And said, "you don't know what you're
00:09:40.807 --> 00:09:41.642
"you don't know what you're asking.
00:09:41.708 --> 00:09:42.509
Asking. everyone who follows me
00:09:42.576 --> 00:09:43.710
Everyone who follows me is going to get killed."
00:09:43.777 --> 00:09:45.579
Is going to get killed." suddenly,
00:09:45.646 --> 00:09:46.013
Suddenly, they weren't quite so
00:09:46.079 --> 00:09:46.980
They weren't quite so interested.
00:09:47.047 --> 00:09:48.615
Interested. this portrait screams
00:09:48.682 --> 00:09:49.783
This portrait screams the message of
00:09:49.850 --> 00:09:50.417
The message of the 21st century in america.
00:09:50.484 --> 00:09:53.086
The 21st century in america. it says, crucify your pride.
00:09:53.153 --> 00:09:55.288
It says, crucify your pride. [that's right.]
00:09:55.355 --> 00:09:55.789
[that's right.] crucify your vanity.
00:09:55.856 --> 00:09:57.791
Crucify your vanity. crucify your ego
00:09:57.858 --> 00:09:59.893
Crucify your ego or you will never be a part of
00:09:59.960 --> 00:10:01.461
Or you will never be a part of the kingdom of god.
00:10:01.528 --> 00:10:02.763
The kingdom of god. [that's right.]
00:10:02.829 --> 00:10:03.430
[that's right.] all of your righteousness
00:10:03.497 --> 00:10:04.631
All of your righteousness is as filthy rags.
00:10:04.698 --> 00:10:07.968
Is as filthy rags. look at the text.
00:10:08.035 --> 00:10:09.569
Look at the text. it says the first step
00:10:09.636 --> 00:10:10.504
It says the first step in the stairways to the stars
00:10:10.570 --> 00:10:11.872
In the stairways to the stars is humility.
00:10:11.938 --> 00:10:13.240
Is humility. [that's right.]
00:10:13.306 --> 00:10:13.874
[that's right.] "humility,"
00:10:13.940 --> 00:10:14.641
"humility," it's a word lost to
00:10:14.708 --> 00:10:16.309
It's a word lost to this generation.

00:15:21.748 --> 00:15:23.316
They had a trumpet to blow and a pitcher.
00:15:23.383 --> 00:15:24.517
And a pitcher. and with all of that racket,
00:15:24.584 --> 00:15:25.952
And with all of that racket, they charged,
00:15:26.019 --> 00:15:26.920
They charged, and the midianites fought
00:15:26.987 --> 00:15:28.054
And the midianites fought each other and destroyed
00:15:28.121 --> 00:15:29.255
Each other and destroyed each other.
00:15:29.322 --> 00:15:30.190
Each other. and they became the victors.

And they became the victors. god can use you if you're just
00:15:32.759 --> 00:15:35.395
God can use you if you're just willing to be used.
00:15:35.462 --> 00:15:37.130
Willing to be used. the angel of the lord comes
00:15:37.197 --> 00:15:38.331
The angel of the lord comes to him and says,

"blessed are the poor in spirit,"
00:15:44.304 --> 00:15:45.405
In spirit," we find humility,
00:15:45.472 --> 00:15:47.173
We find humility, yet we find divine confidence
00:15:47.240 --> 00:15:49.042

The creator of heaven and earth who has all power,
00:15:53.780 --> 00:15:56.516
And earth who has all power, who could have crushed the

Who could have crushed the earth with a simple statement.
00:15:57.817 --> 00:16:01.321
Earth with a simple statement. he looked toward the heavens
00:16:01.388 --> 00:16:02.789
He looked toward the heavens and said,
00:16:02.856 --> 00:16:03.156
And said, "i can do nothing of myself."
00:16:03.223 --> 00:16:06.459
"i can do nothing of myself." jesus said that.
00:16:06.526 --> 00:16:09.696

And his total dependence on god the father.

The son of god prayed for hours.
00:16:26.446 --> 00:16:27.847
For hours. just how broken are you?

In your business. now you're ready to take

Step two, "blessed are those who mourn,
00:16:58.311 --> 00:16:59.879

A bitter divorce, or the rejection
00:17:37.083 --> 00:17:37.951
Or the rejection from your parents,

For prayer. i left his room,

Paul tells us of people whose conscience is seared
00:19:33.967 --> 00:19:35.935
Whose conscience is seared with a hot iron,
00:19:36.002 --> 00:19:37.203
With a hot iron, 1 timothy 4.

At last, the dreaded disease laid hold
00:20:01.194 --> 00:20:02.528
The dreaded disease laid hold of him.
00:20:02.595 --> 00:20:03.696
Of him. at first,
00:20:03.763 --> 00:20:04.264
At first, he was not aware of it.
00:20:04.330 --> 00:20:06.132
He was not aware of it. but one morning,
00:20:06.199 --> 00:20:07.934
But one morning, he happened to spill
00:20:08.001 --> 00:20:08.968
He happened to spill hot-boiling water on his foot
00:20:09.035 --> 00:20:11.204
Hot-boiling water on his foot and there was absolutely
00:20:11.271 --> 00:20:12.839
And there was absolutely no pain.
00:20:12.905 --> 00:20:14.207
No pain. the loss of feeling informed
00:20:14.274 --> 00:20:15.775
The loss of feeling informed him that the leprosy had
00:20:15.842 --> 00:20:17.877
Him that the leprosy had consumed his body and he
00:20:17.944 --> 00:20:19.746
Consumed his body and he himself was slowly dying.
00:20:19.812 --> 00:20:21.981
Himself was slowly dying. listen to me.
00:20:22.048 --> 00:20:23.249
Listen to me. there is a far greater loss
00:20:23.316 --> 00:20:24.717
There is a far greater loss than that of physical
00:20:24.784 --> 00:20:25.718
Than that of physical sensitivity.
00:20:25.785 --> 00:20:26.853
Sensitivity. it is the loss of your
00:20:26.919 --> 00:20:28.254
It is the loss of your spiritual sensitivity
00:20:28.321 --> 00:20:29.722
Spiritual sensitivity toward god.
00:20:29.789 --> 00:20:30.990
Toward god. when you can get to the place
00:20:31.057 --> 00:20:32.158
When you can get to the place you can sin
00:20:32.225 --> 00:20:33.092
You can sin and your conscience no longer
00:20:33.159 --> 00:20:34.327
And your conscience no longer hurts you,
00:20:34.394 --> 00:20:35.161
Hurts you, you're dying.
00:20:35.228 --> 00:20:36.663
You're dying. your conscience is seared with
00:20:36.729 --> 00:20:38.631
Your conscience is seared with a hot iron.

A hot iron. you lie,
00:20:39.966 --> 00:20:41.067
You lie, but there's no pain of
00:20:41.134 --> 00:20:42.035
But there's no pain of conscience.
00:20:42.101 --> 00:20:42.869
Conscience. you used god's name in vain.
00:20:42.935 --> 00:20:45.138
You used god's name in vain. there's no pain of conscience.
00:20:45.204 --> 00:20:47.173
There's no pain of conscience. your world's attitude is
00:20:47.240 --> 00:20:49.208
Your world's attitude is "so what?"
00:20:49.275 --> 00:20:50.443
"so what?" you commit adultery
00:20:50.510 --> 00:20:51.678
