  • For those of you here and those of you who are watching
  • 00:02:17.823 --> 00:02:18.824
  • Those of you who are watching by television,
  • 00:02:18.891 --> 00:02:20.059
  • By television, that god loves every person
  • 00:02:20.126 --> 00:02:21.427
  • That god loves every person on this earth,
  • 00:02:21.494 --> 00:02:23.329
  • On this earth, good, bad, evil,
  • 00:02:23.396 --> 00:02:25.064
  • Good, bad, evil, whatever you may be.
  • 00:02:25.131 --> 00:02:26.866
  • Whatever you may be. the bible says,
  • 00:02:26.933 --> 00:02:27.700
  • The bible says, "god so loved the world,
  • 00:02:27.767 --> 00:02:28.968
  • "god so loved the world, that he gave his only
  • 00:02:29.035 --> 00:02:29.769
  • That he gave his only begotten son,
  • 00:02:29.835 --> 00:02:31.470
  • Begotten son, that whoever believeth
  • 00:02:31.537 --> 00:02:32.471
  • That whoever believeth in him should not perish,
  • 00:02:32.538 --> 00:02:34.340
  • In him should not perish, but have everlasting life."
  • 00:02:34.407 --> 00:02:36.576
  • But have everlasting life." but god cannot save
  • 00:02:36.642 --> 00:02:38.144
  • But god cannot save the self-righteous.
  • 00:02:38.211 --> 00:02:39.178
  • The self-righteous. that's person number one.
  • 00:02:39.245 --> 00:02:40.947
  • That's person number one. notice the phrase that
  • 00:02:41.013 --> 00:02:42.014
  • Notice the phrase that "they trusted in themselves
  • 00:02:42.081 --> 00:02:43.482
  • "they trusted in themselves that they were righteous."
  • 00:02:43.549 --> 00:02:45.184
  • That they were righteous." the bible says,
  • 00:02:45.251 --> 00:02:45.851
  • The bible says, "trust in the lord with all of
  • 00:02:45.918 --> 00:02:47.053
  • "trust in the lord with all of your heart and lean not to
  • 00:02:47.119 --> 00:02:48.888
  • Your heart and lean not to your own understanding."
  • 00:02:48.955 --> 00:02:51.190
  • Your own understanding." point:
  • 00:02:51.257 --> 00:02:51.991
  • Point: when you trust only in
  • 00:02:52.058 --> 00:02:53.226
  • When you trust only in yourself,
  • 00:02:53.292 --> 00:02:53.726
  • Yourself, you are your god.
  • 00:02:53.793 --> 00:02:55.628
  • You are your god. you don't need god;
  • 00:02:55.695 --> 00:02:57.430
  • You don't need god; therefore, god cannot
  • 00:02:57.496 --> 00:02:58.397
  • Therefore, god cannot save you.
  • 00:02:58.464 --> 00:02:59.599
  • Save you. jesus told this story to
  • 00:02:59.665 --> 00:03:01.167
  • Jesus told this story to pharisees that fasted
  • 00:03:01.234 --> 00:03:03.035
  • Pharisees that fasted twice a week.
  • 00:03:03.102 --> 00:03:04.170
  • Twice a week. they tithed up to 30% of all
  • 00:03:04.237 --> 00:03:06.939
  • They tithed up to 30% of all of their income.
  • 00:03:07.006 --> 00:03:08.140
  • Of their income. jesus said,
  • 00:03:08.207 --> 00:03:08.808
  • Jesus said, "except your righteousness
  • 00:03:08.874 --> 00:03:10.276
  • "except your righteousness exceeds that of the pharisees,
  • 00:03:10.343 --> 00:03:12.445
  • Exceeds that of the pharisees, you shall not inherit
  • 00:03:12.511 --> 00:03:13.713
  • You shall not inherit the kingdom of god."
  • 00:03:13.779 --> 00:03:15.481
  • The kingdom of god." there are people who have
  • 00:03:15.548 --> 00:03:16.515
  • There are people who have religion without
  • 00:03:16.582 --> 00:03:17.450
  • Religion without righteousness.
  • 00:03:17.516 --> 00:03:19.318
  • Righteousness. they have ceremony without
  • 00:03:19.385 --> 00:03:20.720
  • They have ceremony without consecration.
  • 00:03:20.786 --> 00:03:22.521
  • Consecration. they have profession without
  • 00:03:22.588 --> 00:03:24.557
  • They have profession without possession.
  • 00:03:24.624 --> 00:03:26.158
  • Possession. the bible says,
  • 00:03:26.225 --> 00:03:26.959
  • The bible says, "they are clouds without
  • 00:03:27.026 --> 00:03:28.327
  • "they are clouds without rain."
  • 00:03:28.394 --> 00:03:29.161
  • Rain." "they are wells without
  • 00:03:29.228 --> 00:03:30.763
  • "they are wells without water."
  • 00:03:30.830 --> 00:03:31.497
  • Water." "they are trees without
  • 00:03:31.564 --> 00:03:33.266
  • "they are trees without fruit."
  • 00:03:33.332 --> 00:03:34.100
  • Fruit." "they are as sounding brass
  • 00:03:34.166 --> 00:03:35.901
  • "they are as sounding brass and tinkling cymbals."
  • 00:03:35.968 --> 00:03:37.603
  • And tinkling cymbals." "they make noise but they
  • 00:03:37.670 --> 00:03:39.372
  • "they make noise but they are not substantive."
  • 00:03:39.438 --> 00:03:41.307
  • Are not substantive." the self-righteous hate
  • 00:03:41.374 --> 00:03:42.508
  • The self-righteous hate this story because it's
  • 00:03:42.575 --> 00:03:43.676
  • This story because it's their portrait.
  • 00:03:43.743 --> 00:03:44.744
  • Their portrait. it's the portrait of many
  • 00:03:44.810 --> 00:03:46.412
  • It's the portrait of many who sit in america's churches.
  • 00:03:46.479 --> 00:03:49.282
  • Who sit in america's churches. it's the god of self.
  • 00:03:49.348 --> 00:03:51.584
  • It's the god of self. that's america's favorite
  • 00:03:51.651 --> 00:03:52.818
  • That's america's favorite idol.
  • 00:03:52.885 --> 00:03:53.853
  • Idol. yet this story is as tender
  • 00:03:53.919 --> 00:03:55.421
  • Yet this story is as tender as a mother's touch and as
  • 00:03:55.488 --> 00:03:57.256
  • As a mother's touch and as healing as a mother's kiss
  • 00:03:57.323 --> 00:03:59.058
  • Healing as a mother's kiss to those who have sinned.
  • 00:03:59.125 --> 00:04:00.459
  • To those who have sinned. the bible says
  • 00:04:00.526 --> 00:04:01.227
  • The bible says in proverbs 28:13
  • 00:04:01.294 --> 00:04:03.129
  • In proverbs 28:13 that those who will confess
  • 00:04:03.195 --> 00:04:04.797
  • That those who will confess and forsake their sin
  • 00:04:04.864 --> 00:04:06.699
  • And forsake their sin shall have mercy
  • 00:04:06.766 --> 00:04:07.500
  • Shall have mercy with the lord.
  • 00:04:07.566 --> 00:04:09.635
  • With the lord. that is a powerful verse.
  • 00:04:09.702 --> 00:04:10.870
  • That is a powerful verse. listen to it.
  • 00:04:10.936 --> 00:04:12.138
  • Listen to it. "those who confess and forsake
  • 00:04:12.204 --> 00:04:14.674
  • "those who confess and forsake their sin shall have mercy
  • 00:04:14.740 --> 00:04:16.742
  • Their sin shall have mercy with the lord."
  • 00:04:16.809 --> 00:04:17.410
  • With the lord." right now,
  • 00:04:17.476 --> 00:04:18.311
  • Right now, there's a doctrine going
  • 00:04:18.377 --> 00:04:19.712
  • There's a doctrine going through america of what i call
  • 00:04:19.779 --> 00:04:21.447
  • Through america of what i call "unlimited grace."
  • 00:04:21.514 --> 00:04:22.515
  • "unlimited grace." you sin and keep on sinning,
  • 00:04:22.581 --> 00:04:24.116
  • You sin and keep on sinning, keep on sinning,
  • 00:04:24.183 --> 00:04:24.917
  • Keep on sinning, and god just lets you keep on
  • 00:04:24.984 --> 00:04:26.285
  • And god just lets you keep on sinning,
  • 00:04:26.352 --> 00:04:26.819
  • Sinning, and it's alright with him
  • 00:04:26.886 --> 00:04:28.087
  • And it's alright with him because god's grace has no
  • 00:04:28.154 --> 00:04:29.689
  • Because god's grace has no limit.
