  • Pastor matt hagee: whenever you hear the word, "church,"
  • 00:00:14.475 --> 00:00:16.010
  • Hear the word, "church," what do you think of?
  • 00:00:16.077 --> 00:00:18.279
  • What do you think of? a lot of people have different
  • 00:00:18.345 --> 00:00:20.981
  • A lot of people have different ways to define church,
  • 00:00:21.048 --> 00:00:23.517
  • Ways to define church, and some of them
  • 00:00:23.584 --> 00:00:24.585
  • And some of them are not in accordance
  • 00:00:24.652 --> 00:00:25.586
  • Are not in accordance with the word of god.
  • 00:00:25.653 --> 00:00:27.888
  • With the word of god. so, as we start to talk about
  • 00:00:27.955 --> 00:00:29.156
  • So, as we start to talk about a church that's out of order,
  • 00:00:29.223 --> 00:00:30.624
  • A church that's out of order, we first have to look at what
  • 00:00:30.691 --> 00:00:32.059
  • We first have to look at what the bible says about
  • 00:00:32.126 --> 00:00:33.761
  • The bible says about church to understand
  • 00:00:33.828 --> 00:00:34.895
  • Church to understand where we've gone wrong.
  • 00:00:34.962 --> 00:00:37.531
  • Where we've gone wrong. whenever you ask people,
  • 00:00:37.598 --> 00:00:38.566
  • Whenever you ask people, "what is church to you?"
  • 00:00:38.632 --> 00:00:40.334
  • "what is church to you?" sometimes, people will
  • 00:00:40.401 --> 00:00:41.402
  • Sometimes, people will tell you what it is
  • 00:00:41.469 --> 00:00:42.203
  • Tell you what it is based on their experience.
  • 00:00:42.269 --> 00:00:44.405
  • Based on their experience. they'll say, "church is where
  • 00:00:44.472 --> 00:00:45.639
  • They'll say, "church is where you go whenever
  • 00:00:45.706 --> 00:00:46.507
  • You go whenever you have christmas.
  • 00:00:46.574 --> 00:00:47.975
  • You have christmas. it's where you go for easter.
  • 00:00:48.042 --> 00:00:49.310
  • It's where you go for easter. it's where you go when
  • 00:00:49.376 --> 00:00:50.177
  • It's where you go when you're married.
  • 00:00:50.244 --> 00:00:50.744
  • You're married. it's where you go
  • 00:00:50.811 --> 00:00:51.445
  • It's where you go when you're dead."
  • 00:00:51.512 --> 00:00:51.946
  • I'm just gonna leave that alone.
  • 00:00:54.915 --> 00:00:56.484
  • [laughter]
  • 00:00:56.884 --> 00:00:58.052
  • And that's because their
  • 00:00:58.752 --> 00:00:59.653
  • And that's because their experience is that's the only
  • 00:00:59.720 --> 00:01:00.788
  • Experience is that's the only place that church is relevant.
  • 00:01:00.855 --> 00:01:03.390
  • Place that church is relevant. other people will give you
  • 00:01:03.457 --> 00:01:04.625
  • Other people will give you a definition of church
  • 00:01:04.692 --> 00:01:05.659
  • A definition of church based on their tradition.
  • 00:01:05.726 --> 00:01:08.062
  • Based on their tradition. they'll define church by how
  • 00:01:08.129 --> 00:01:10.097
  • They'll define church by how it was when they grew up.
  • 00:01:10.164 --> 00:01:11.432
  • It was when they grew up. "well, i grew up in
  • 00:01:11.499 --> 00:01:12.032
  • "well, i grew up in a very quiet church,
  • 00:01:12.099 --> 00:01:13.167
  • A very quiet church, a very structured church,
  • 00:01:13.234 --> 00:01:14.435
  • A very structured church, a very solemn church,
  • 00:01:14.502 --> 00:01:16.070
  • A very solemn church, a very pious church.
  • 00:01:16.137 --> 00:01:17.338
  • A very pious church. it was a very sacred
  • 00:01:17.404 --> 00:01:18.506
  • It was a very sacred and holy thing."
  • 00:01:18.572 --> 00:01:20.574
  • And holy thing." other people will give you
  • 00:01:20.641 --> 00:01:21.342
  • Other people will give you an experience that's
  • 00:01:21.408 --> 00:01:22.276
  • An experience that's totally different from that.
  • 00:01:22.343 --> 00:01:23.544
  • Totally different from that. they'll say, "man, if you didn't
  • 00:01:23.611 --> 00:01:24.545
  • They'll say, "man, if you didn't sweat through your clothes,
  • 00:01:24.612 --> 00:01:25.312
  • Sweat through your clothes, you weren't holy enough."
  • 00:01:25.379 --> 00:01:28.883
  • You weren't holy enough." "i grew up in a quiet church."
  • 00:01:28.949 --> 00:01:30.518
  • "i grew up in a quiet church." "not me."
  • 00:01:30.584 --> 00:01:31.352
  • Jesus christ defined
  • 00:01:34.655 --> 00:01:35.923
  • Jesus christ defined the church when he told
  • 00:01:35.990 --> 00:01:37.291
  • The church when he told his disciples in
  • 00:01:37.358 --> 00:01:38.192
  • His disciples in matthew's gospel that,
  • 00:01:38.259 --> 00:01:39.393
  • Matthew's gospel that, "upon this rock,
  • 00:01:39.460 --> 00:01:41.262
  • "upon this rock, will i build my church."
  • 00:01:41.328 --> 00:01:45.332
  • Will i build my church." my church.
  • 00:01:45.399 --> 00:01:47.001
  • My church. the rock that jesus
  • 00:01:47.067 --> 00:01:48.002
  • The rock that jesus was talking about
  • 00:01:48.068 --> 00:01:48.903
  • Was talking about was the cornerstone.
  • 00:01:48.969 --> 00:01:50.538
  • Was the cornerstone. that cornerstone is an
  • 00:01:50.604 --> 00:01:51.839
  • That cornerstone is an engineering term that means
  • 00:01:51.906 --> 00:01:53.807
  • Engineering term that means it is strong enough to bear
  • 00:01:53.874 --> 00:01:55.709
  • It is strong enough to bear the weight of everything
  • 00:01:55.776 --> 00:01:57.278
  • The weight of everything that is placed upon it.
  • 00:01:57.344 --> 00:01:58.746
  • That is placed upon it. there isn't anything that you
  • 00:01:58.812 --> 00:02:00.347
  • There isn't anything that you can put on this cornerstone
  • 00:02:00.414 --> 00:02:02.116
  • Can put on this cornerstone that's going to overpower it.
  • 00:02:02.183 --> 00:02:04.985
  • That's going to overpower it. and what jesus said
  • 00:02:05.052 --> 00:02:06.053
  • And what jesus said the cornerstone was
  • 00:02:06.120 --> 00:02:07.354
  • The cornerstone was is this profession
  • 00:02:07.421 --> 00:02:09.089
  • Is this profession that he was the christ,
  • 00:02:09.156 --> 00:02:12.126
  • That he was the christ, the son of the living god.
  • 00:02:12.193 --> 00:02:15.429
  • The son of the living god. so, the biblical definition
  • 00:02:15.496 --> 00:02:16.230
  • So, the biblical definition of a church is
  • 00:02:16.297 --> 00:02:16.830
  • Of a church is it's built by god,
  • 00:02:16.897 --> 00:02:18.098
  • It's built by god, and it professes jesus christ.
  • 00:02:18.165 --> 00:02:22.236
  • And it professes jesus christ. the reason we need
  • 00:02:22.303 --> 00:02:23.270
  • The reason we need to understand this
  • 00:02:23.337 --> 00:02:24.405
  • To understand this is because there are
  • 00:02:24.471 --> 00:02:25.172
  • Is because there are a multitude of churches
  • 00:02:25.239 --> 00:02:26.507
  • A multitude of churches in this nation that
  • 00:02:26.574 --> 00:02:28.008
  • In this nation that are functioning without
  • 00:02:28.075 --> 00:02:29.210
  • Are functioning without a profession of jesus christ.
  • 00:02:29.276 --> 00:02:33.581
  • A profession of jesus christ. and that's why the church
  • 00:02:33.647 --> 00:02:34.481
  • And that's why the church is out of order.
  • 00:02:34.548 --> 00:02:35.983
  • Is out of order. it's disconnected
  • 00:02:36.050 --> 00:02:37.685
  • It's disconnected from the head.
  • 00:02:37.751 --> 00:02:40.621
  • From the head. the church is out of order
  • 00:02:40.688 --> 00:02:42.289
  • The church is out of order because it's disconnected
  • 00:02:42.356 --> 00:02:44.058
  • Because it's disconnected from the head.
  • 00:02:44.124 --> 00:02:45.626
  • From the head. "how can you say that?"
  • 00:02:45.693 --> 00:02:46.827
  • "how can you say that?" well, ephesians 5:23.
  • 00:02:46.894 --> 00:02:49.597
  • Well, ephesians 5:23. when you read that verse,
  • 00:02:49.663 --> 00:02:50.798
  • When you read that verse, it says, "christ is the head
  • 00:02:50.864 --> 00:02:52.933
  • It says, "christ is the head of the church."
  • 00:02:53.000 --> 00:02:54.335
  • Of the church." say that with me.
  • 00:02:54.401 --> 00:02:55.236
  • Say that with me. "christ is the head
  • 00:02:55.302 --> 00:02:57.304
  • "christ is the head of the church."
  • 00:02:57.371 --> 00:03:00.274
  • You cannot disconnect
  • 00:03:02.343 --> 00:03:04.044
  • You cannot disconnect the church from the head
  • 00:03:04.111 --> 00:03:06.513
  • The church from the head and the church function.
  • 00:03:06.580 --> 00:03:10.251
  • And the church function. and the foundation of the church
  • 00:03:10.317 --> 00:03:13.454
  • And the foundation of the church is the declaration that
  • 00:03:13.520 --> 00:03:14.788
  • Is the declaration that jesus christ is the son
  • 00:03:14.855 --> 00:03:16.724
  • Jesus christ is the son of the living god, crucified,
  • 00:03:16.790 --> 00:03:18.659
  • Of the living god, crucified, risen and coming again.
  • 00:03:18.726 --> 00:03:21.662
  • [applause]
  • 00:03:22.363 --> 00:03:29.436
  • Another reason that
  • 00:03:29.770 --> 00:03:32.039
  • Another reason that the church is out of order
  • 00:03:32.106 --> 00:03:35.643
  • The church is out of order is because we're distracted.
  • 00:03:35.709 --> 00:03:39.747
  • Is because we're distracted. we're distracted because
  • 00:03:39.813 --> 00:03:42.383
  • We're distracted because we've chosen to follow
  • 00:03:42.449 --> 00:03:43.484
  • We've chosen to follow feel good fables instead
  • 00:03:43.550 --> 00:03:46.520
  • Feel good fables instead of tolerate the truth.
  • 00:03:46.587 --> 00:03:48.822
  • Of tolerate the truth. paul was speaking
  • 00:03:48.889 --> 00:03:49.923
  • Paul was speaking to timothy when
  • 00:03:49.990 --> 00:03:51.892
  • To timothy when he told him
  • 00:03:51.959 --> 00:03:52.426
  • He told him in 2 timothy 4:2.
  • 00:03:52.493 --> 00:03:55.429
  • In 2 timothy 4:2. he said, "preach the word."
  • 00:03:55.496 --> 00:03:57.798
  • He said, "preach the word." say that with me,
  • 00:03:57.865 --> 00:03:58.932
  • Say that with me, "preach the word."
  • 00:03:58.999 --> 00:04:01.869
  • "preach the word." and he warned them.
  • 00:04:01.935 --> 00:04:03.604
  • And he warned them. he said, "preach the word...
  • 00:04:03.671 --> 00:04:06.373
  • He said, "preach the word... for there will come a time
  • 00:04:06.440 --> 00:04:07.174
  • For there will come a time when they will not
  • 00:04:07.241 --> 00:04:07.908
  • When they will not endure sound doctrine."
  • 00:04:07.975 --> 00:04:11.345
  • Endure sound doctrine." and he said what they would
  • 00:04:11.412 --> 00:04:12.346
  • And he said what they would do is that they would,
  • 00:04:12.413 --> 00:04:13.914
  • Do is that they would, "heap up for themselves
  • 00:04:13.981 --> 00:04:17.518
  • "heap up for themselves according to their own desires
  • 00:04:17.584 --> 00:04:19.853
  • According to their own desires and their itching ears,
  • 00:04:19.920 --> 00:04:21.588
  • And their itching ears, teachers."
  • 00:04:21.655 --> 00:04:23.824
  • Teachers." now, this itching ear

  • Every time my labrador dogs run up to me, they look at me

  • And then, those labrador dogs,
  • 00:04:46.513 --> 00:04:47.748
  • And then, those labrador dogs, they allow me to bring them
  • 00:04:47.815 --> 00:04:50.551
  • They allow me to bring them relief from irritation.
  • 00:04:50.617 --> 00:04:53.554
  • Relief from irritation. and then, they run off
  • 00:04:53.620 --> 00:04:54.788
  • And then, they run off without any appreciation.

  • They feel better, but what have they done for me?
  • 00:05:02.029 --> 00:05:04.798
  • Have they done for me? and when paul is talking about
  • 00:05:04.865 --> 00:05:06.233
  • And when paul is talking about itching ears, he's saying,
  • 00:05:06.300 --> 00:05:08.902
  • Itching ears, he's saying, "there's gonna come a time
  • 00:05:08.969 --> 00:05:09.770
  • "there's gonna come a time when people don't want
  • 00:05:09.837 --> 00:05:10.304
  • When people don't want to hear the truth,
  • 00:05:10.371 --> 00:05:12.506
  • To hear the truth, they just want something
  • 00:05:12.573 --> 00:05:13.240
  • They just want something that relieves a little
  • 00:05:13.307 --> 00:05:14.308
  • That relieves a little bit of irritation,
  • 00:05:14.375 --> 00:05:16.110
  • Bit of irritation, and then they wanna run off

  • 00:05:17.211 --> 00:05:18.679
  • Without any appreciation for the one who has
  • 00:05:18.746 --> 00:05:19.313
  • For the one who has brought them deliverance."
  • 00:05:19.380 --> 00:05:21.548
  • Brought them deliverance." and that's where we're at
  • 00:05:21.615 --> 00:05:22.616
  • And that's where we're at in the world today.
  • 00:05:22.683 --> 00:05:25.219
  • In the world today. we come to church like
  • 00:05:25.285 --> 00:05:26.487
  • We come to church like a bunch of little dogs
  • 00:05:26.553 --> 00:05:27.254
  • A bunch of little dogs that need our ears scratched.
  • 00:05:27.321 --> 00:05:28.522
  • That need our ears scratched. we want jesus to go,
  • 00:05:28.589 --> 00:05:29.556
  • We want jesus to go, "it's gonna be okay.
  • 00:05:29.623 --> 00:05:30.624
  • "it's gonna be okay. it's gonna be okay.
  • 00:05:30.691 --> 00:05:32.860
  • It's gonna be okay. i know, i know.
  • 00:05:32.926 --> 00:05:34.194
  • I know, i know. i know.
  • 00:05:34.261 --> 00:05:35.529
  • I know. property taxes
  • 00:05:35.596 --> 00:05:36.597
  • Property taxes are going up.
  • 00:05:36.663 --> 00:05:37.297

  • [laughter]
  • 00:05:38.465 --> 00:05:41.435
  • And if that lasts any longer
  • 00:05:44.471 --> 00:05:45.973
  • And if that lasts any longer than what we'll allow,
  • 00:05:46.039 --> 00:05:47.107
  • Than what we'll allow, we look at our wristwatch like,
  • 00:05:47.174 --> 00:05:48.075
  • We look at our wristwatch like, "how offensive?
  • 00:05:48.142 --> 00:05:48.909
  • "how offensive? doesn't he know we have plans?"
  • 00:05:48.976 --> 00:05:53.514
  • Doesn't he know we have plans?" and we run off without any
  • 00:05:53.580 --> 00:05:54.615
  • And we run off without any appreciation for the christ
  • 00:05:54.681 --> 00:05:55.816
  • Appreciation for the christ who has set us free.
  • 00:05:55.883 --> 00:06:00.454
  • Who has set us free. what's the solution?
  • 00:06:00.521 --> 00:06:02.923
  • What's the solution? paul told timothy
  • 00:06:02.990 --> 00:06:03.857
  • Paul told timothy very plainly,
  • 00:06:03.924 --> 00:06:04.892
  • Very plainly, "preach the word.
  • 00:06:04.958 --> 00:06:08.395
  • "preach the word. preach the word.
  • 00:06:08.462 --> 00:06:10.964
  • Preach the word. don't tell them what
  • 00:06:11.031 --> 00:06:11.698
  • Don't tell them what they want to hear.
  • 00:06:11.765 --> 00:06:12.332
  • They want to hear. tell them what
  • 00:06:12.399 --> 00:06:12.800
  • Tell them what they need to hear."

  • [applause]
  • 00:06:14.835 --> 00:06:21.975
  • Now, that doesn't mean
  • 00:06:22.576 --> 00:06:23.277
  • Now, that doesn't mean that you do it with
  • 00:06:23.343 --> 00:06:23.877
  • That you do it with an attitude.
  • 00:06:23.944 --> 00:06:25.746
  • An attitude. the bible says,
  • 00:06:25.813 --> 00:06:27.114
  • The bible says, "speak the truth in love."
  • 00:06:27.181 --> 00:06:31.618
  • "speak the truth in love." how many of you know those
  • 00:06:31.685 --> 00:06:32.920
  • How many of you know those sage individuals in your life
  • 00:06:32.986 --> 00:06:34.922
  • Sage individuals in your life who can give you
  • 00:06:34.988 --> 00:06:35.823
  • Who can give you pure and clear counsel?
  • 00:06:35.889 --> 00:06:38.358
  • Pure and clear counsel? and sometimes, it doesn't
  • 00:06:38.425 --> 00:06:39.159
  • And sometimes, it doesn't feel good, but they can tell you
  • 00:06:39.226 --> 00:06:40.594
  • Feel good, but they can tell you because they love you.
  • 00:06:40.661 --> 00:06:43.497
  • Because they love you. it's called
  • 00:06:43.564 --> 00:06:43.997
  • It's called constructive criticism.
  • 00:06:44.064 --> 00:06:46.800
  • Constructive criticism. and it's something that
  • 00:06:46.867 --> 00:06:47.568
  • And it's something that we need to reintroduce
  • 00:06:47.634 --> 00:06:48.435
  • We need to reintroduce in our society because people
  • 00:06:48.502 --> 00:06:49.403
  • In our society because people have become so fragile,
  • 00:06:49.470 --> 00:06:51.438
  • Have become so fragile, if you tell them
  • 00:06:51.505 --> 00:06:51.905
  • If you tell them anything less than what
  • 00:06:51.972 --> 00:06:53.006
  • Anything less than what makes them feel good,
  • 00:06:53.073 --> 00:06:54.074
  • Makes them feel good, they get so offended.
  • 00:06:54.141 --> 00:06:58.679
  • They get so offended. #haters.
  • 00:06:58.745 --> 00:07:00.314
  • [laughter]
  • 00:07:00.914 --> 00:07:03.917
  • Listen, if somebody's
  • 00:07:04.451 --> 00:07:05.319
  • Listen, if somebody's trying to make you better,
  • 00:07:05.385 --> 00:07:06.487
  • Trying to make you better, thank them for building you up.

  • [applause]

  • Now, we need to be willing
  • 00:07:18.131 --> 00:07:18.799
  • Now, we need to be willing to take our medicine sometimes
  • 00:07:18.866 --> 00:07:20.367
  • To take our medicine sometimes when we come to church.
  • 00:07:20.434 --> 00:07:22.603
  • When we come to church. we need to be willing
  • 00:07:22.669 --> 00:07:23.270
  • We need to be willing to hear the truth,
  • 00:07:23.337 --> 00:07:24.071
  • To hear the truth, not because we're here
  • 00:07:24.137 --> 00:07:25.606
  • Not because we're here to feel good,
  • 00:07:25.672 --> 00:07:26.106
  • To feel good, but we're here to get better.
  • 00:07:26.173 --> 00:07:29.009
  • But we're here to get better. we're here to do god's will.
  • 00:07:29.076 --> 00:07:30.410
  • We're here to do god's will. we're here to serve his kingdom.
  • 00:07:30.477 --> 00:07:33.280
  • We're here to serve his kingdom. we're here to show him how much
  • 00:07:33.347 --> 00:07:34.848
  • We're here to show him how much we appreciate who he is
  • 00:07:34.915 --> 00:07:36.650
  • We appreciate who he is and what he's done for us.
  • 00:07:36.717 --> 00:07:39.520
  • And what he's done for us. when you speak
  • 00:07:39.586 --> 00:07:40.354
  • When you speak the truth in love,
  • 00:07:40.420 --> 00:07:41.154
  • The truth in love, you need to understand
  • 00:07:41.221 --> 00:07:42.322
  • You need to understand that the truth does not
  • 00:07:42.389 --> 00:07:43.590
  • That the truth does not always make you feel good.
  • 00:07:43.657 --> 00:07:44.791
  • Always make you feel good. but when god's truth is spoken,
  • 00:07:44.858 --> 00:07:46.693
  • But when god's truth is spoken, it's not only spoken with truth,
  • 00:07:46.760 --> 00:07:47.995
  • It's not only spoken with truth, it's spoken with grace because
  • 00:07:48.061 --> 00:07:49.396
  • It's spoken with grace because john's gospel says he came
  • 00:07:49.463 --> 00:07:50.831
  • John's gospel says he came full of grace and truth.
  • 00:07:50.898 --> 00:07:55.302
  • Full of grace and truth. so, here's how god's grace
  • 00:07:55.369 --> 00:07:57.437
  • So, here's how god's grace and truth work in balance
  • 00:07:57.504 --> 00:07:59.406
  • And truth work in balance with one another,
  • 00:07:59.473 --> 00:08:00.274
  • With one another, because the world we live in
  • 00:08:00.340 --> 00:08:01.542
  • Because the world we live in has it all on grace
  • 00:08:01.608 --> 00:08:03.277
  • Has it all on grace and is ignoring truth.
  • 00:08:03.343 --> 00:08:06.513
  • And is ignoring truth. the bible says,
  • 00:08:06.580 --> 00:08:07.281
  • The bible says, "all have sinned
  • 00:08:07.347 --> 00:08:09.082
  • "all have sinned and fallen short
  • 00:08:09.149 --> 00:08:10.117
  • And fallen short of the glory of god."
  • 00:08:10.183 --> 00:08:11.151
  • Of the glory of god." that's true.
  • 00:08:11.218 --> 00:08:13.020
  • That's true. it doesn't matter who you are,
  • 00:08:13.086 --> 00:08:14.021
  • It doesn't matter who you are, where you were raised,
  • 00:08:14.087 --> 00:08:14.855
  • Where you were raised, how you were taught.
  • 00:08:14.922 --> 00:08:15.756
  • How you were taught. if you breathe,
  • 00:08:15.822 --> 00:08:16.823
  • If you breathe, you sinned and you fell
  • 00:08:16.890 --> 00:08:19.226
  • You sinned and you fell short of the glory of god.
  • 00:08:19.293 --> 00:08:20.394
  • Short of the glory of god. and the truth is, the wages
  • 00:08:20.460 --> 00:08:21.995
  • And the truth is, the wages of sin is what?
  • 00:08:22.062 --> 00:08:23.630
  • Of sin is what? death.
  • 00:08:23.697 --> 00:08:25.832
  • Death. not pardonable,
  • 00:08:25.899 --> 00:08:27.601
  • Not pardonable, but you're condemned to die.
  • 00:08:27.668 --> 00:08:30.971
  • But you're condemned to die. that's true.
  • 00:08:31.038 --> 00:08:31.939
  • That's true. but here's god's grace.
  • 00:08:32.005 --> 00:08:33.240
  • But here's god's grace. it says, "the wages of sin
  • 00:08:33.307 --> 00:08:34.908
  • It says, "the wages of sin is death, but the gift of god
  • 00:08:34.975 --> 00:08:37.110
  • Is death, but the gift of god is eternal life
  • 00:08:37.177 --> 00:08:38.612
  • Is eternal life in christ jesus."
  • 00:08:38.679 --> 00:08:40.480
  • In christ jesus." we didn't deserve this gift,
  • 00:08:40.547 --> 00:08:42.215
  • We didn't deserve this gift, but god gave it because he knew
  • 00:08:42.282 --> 00:08:44.318
  • But god gave it because he knew the truth about our situation.
  • 00:08:44.384 --> 00:08:46.453
  • The truth about our situation. he knew that we were born
  • 00:08:46.520 --> 00:08:47.854
  • He knew that we were born in a condemned system,
  • 00:08:47.921 --> 00:08:49.356
  • In a condemned system, that we didn't have a choice,
  • 00:08:49.423 --> 00:08:50.857
  • That we didn't have a choice, but we were bound by sin.
  • 00:08:50.924 --> 00:08:52.359
  • But we were bound by sin. and then, he sent his son,
  • 00:08:52.426 --> 00:08:54.194
  • And then, he sent his son, who was the perfect sacrifice,
  • 00:08:54.261 --> 00:08:55.896
  • Who was the perfect sacrifice, and he loved us so much that
  • 00:08:55.963 --> 00:08:57.364
  • And he loved us so much that he gave his only begotten
  • 00:08:57.431 --> 00:08:59.199
  • He gave his only begotten that we might be set free.
  • 00:08:59.266 --> 00:09:01.234
  • That we might be set free. and church, i can tell you
  • 00:09:01.301 --> 00:09:02.603
  • And church, i can tell you for a fact that whom
  • 00:09:02.669 --> 00:09:03.570
  • For a fact that whom the son sets free,
  • 00:09:03.637 --> 00:09:05.672
  • The son sets free, they are free indeed.
  • 00:09:05.739 --> 00:09:08.241
  • They are free indeed. glory, hallelujah,
  • 00:09:08.308 --> 00:09:10.510

  • “does god love?” the bible says it
  • 00:09:24.591 --> 00:09:25.425
  • The bible says it very clearly that,

  • Very clearly that, “god loved us that while

  • Christ died for us.” that's how much
  • 00:09:32.199 --> 00:09:32.966
  • That's how much he loved us.
  • 00:09:33.033 --> 00:09:34.735
  • He loved us. the question is not,
  • 00:09:34.801 --> 00:09:35.335
  • The question is not, does he love us;
  • 00:09:35.402 --> 00:09:36.203
  • Does he love us; the question is,

  • The question is, do we love him?
  • 00:09:36.970 --> 00:09:40.007

  • To change? the choice is ours.
  • 00:09:48.048 --> 00:09:49.483
  • The choice is ours. we can either preach the truth

  • In love and change the world, or we can do what makes

  • That was manifested in the miracles of jesus,

  • 00:15:42.635 --> 00:15:43.069
  • But he didn't ask anything for himself,
  • 00:15:43.136 --> 00:15:44.704
  • Anything for himself, he asked for us.
  • 00:15:44.771 --> 00:15:47.474
  • He asked for us. and here's what he said.
  • 00:15:47.540 --> 00:15:49.175
  • And here's what he said. “oh lord, that they
  • 00:15:49.242 --> 00:15:51.344
  • “oh lord, that they would be one.”
  • 00:15:51.411 --> 00:15:55.849
  • Would be one.” that they would be
  • 00:15:55.915 --> 00:15:56.349
  • That they would be how many?
  • 00:15:56.416 --> 00:15:57.550
  • How many? one.
  • 00:15:57.617 --> 00:15:59.185
  • “even as you and i are one,
  • 00:16:03.156 --> 00:16:06.092
  • “even as you and i are one, so that the world would
  • 00:16:06.159 --> 00:16:07.794
  • So that the world would believe that you sent me.”
  • 00:16:07.861 --> 00:16:13.566
  • Believe that you sent me.” think of how powerful unity is.
  • 00:16:13.633 --> 00:16:16.870
  • Think of how powerful unity is. the more the church is one,
  • 00:16:16.936 --> 00:16:18.471
  • The more the church is one, the more reason we give
  • 00:16:18.538 --> 00:16:19.639
  • The more reason we give the world to believe in jesus.
  • 00:16:19.706 --> 00:16:23.910
  • The world to believe in jesus. but the more divided we are,
  • 00:16:23.977 --> 00:16:25.278
  • But the more divided we are, the more opportunity
  • 00:16:25.345 --> 00:16:26.246
  • The more opportunity we give them to doubt
  • 00:16:26.312 --> 00:16:27.747
  • We give them to doubt that he is sent
  • 00:16:27.814 --> 00:16:29.849
  • That he is sent from heaven by god.
  • 00:16:29.916 --> 00:16:34.354
  • From heaven by god. this unity thing
  • 00:16:34.421 --> 00:16:35.288
  • This unity thing is not a small matter.
  • 00:16:35.355 --> 00:16:39.459
  • Is not a small matter. psalms 133 says, “behold how
  • 00:16:39.526 --> 00:16:41.227
  • Psalms 133 says, “behold how blessed and good it is
  • 00:16:41.294 --> 00:16:42.062
  • Blessed and good it is for brethren to dwell
  • 00:16:42.128 --> 00:16:43.830
  • For brethren to dwell together in unity.
  • 00:16:43.897 --> 00:16:47.634
  • Together in unity. because there the lord
  • 00:16:47.700 --> 00:16:48.902
  • Because there the lord commanded a blessing.”
  • 00:16:48.968 --> 00:16:53.506
  • Commanded a blessing.” he commanded a blessing.
  • 00:16:53.573 --> 00:16:58.611
  • He commanded a blessing. one of the things that
  • 00:16:58.678 --> 00:16:59.212
  • One of the things that i pray before we go
  • 00:16:59.279 --> 00:17:00.380
  • I pray before we go to church every sunday is,
  • 00:17:00.447 --> 00:17:01.781
  • To church every sunday is, “god, command a blessing.”
  • 00:17:01.848 --> 00:17:05.785
  • “god, command a blessing.” command a blessing on
  • 00:17:05.852 --> 00:17:07.053
  • Command a blessing on the people who enter

  • Watching and joining us wherever they're from.
  • 00:17:11.724 --> 00:17:12.559
  • Wherever they're from. because your word
  • 00:17:12.625 --> 00:17:13.827
  • Because your word will not return void.
  • 00:17:13.893 --> 00:17:15.528
  • Will not return void. and if you command it,
  • 00:17:15.595 --> 00:17:16.763
  • And if you command it, there's nothing hell

  • [cheering and applause]
  • 00:18:21.728 --> 00:18:28.434
  • So, i say this in closing,
  • 00:18:29.602 --> 00:18:32.772
  • So, i say this in closing, we know why the church
  • 00:18:32.839 --> 00:18:34.207
  • We know why the church is out of order.
  • 00:18:34.274 --> 00:18:36.910
  • Is out of order. how do we put it
  • 00:18:36.976 --> 00:18:37.577
  • How do we put it back in order?
  • 00:18:37.644 --> 00:18:41.247
  • Back in order? because just like this
  • 00:18:41.314 --> 00:18:42.182
  • Because just like this nation is one nation
  • 00:18:42.248 --> 00:18:44.217
  • Nation is one nation made up of many parts,
  • 00:18:44.284 --> 00:18:45.251
  • Made up of many parts, every church is a church
  • 00:18:45.318 --> 00:18:46.619
  • Every church is a church made up of many parts,
  • 00:18:46.686 --> 00:18:48.087
  • Made up of many parts, and you are a part.
  • 00:18:48.154 --> 00:18:50.890
  • And you are a part. so, if your church
  • 00:18:50.957 --> 00:18:51.691
  • So, if your church has a problem,
  • 00:18:51.758 --> 00:18:52.659
  • Has a problem, guess who's part
  • 00:18:52.725 --> 00:18:53.459
  • Guess who's part of the problem?
  • 00:18:53.526 --> 00:18:54.093
  • [laughter]
  • 00:18:56.329 --> 00:18:57.530
  • There's that truth thing.
  • 00:18:57.997 --> 00:18:59.065
  • If we're gonna get the church
  • 00:19:03.136 --> 00:19:03.803
  • If we're gonna get the church back in order,
  • 00:19:03.870 --> 00:19:04.537
  • Back in order, we've gotta have
  • 00:19:04.604 --> 00:19:05.138
  • We've gotta have a code of conduct.
  • 00:19:05.205 --> 00:19:07.907
  • A code of conduct. and that code of conduct
  • 00:19:07.974 --> 00:19:09.008
  • And that code of conduct is not written by
  • 00:19:09.075 --> 00:19:09.809
  • Is not written by your denomination,
  • 00:19:09.876 --> 00:19:11.511
  • Your denomination, it's not written
  • 00:19:11.578 --> 00:19:12.212
  • It's not written by your tradition,
  • 00:19:12.278 --> 00:19:13.046
  • By your tradition, it's not written
  • 00:19:13.112 --> 00:19:13.513
  • It's not written by your experience,
  • 00:19:13.580 --> 00:19:14.347
  • By your experience, it's not written by
  • 00:19:14.414 --> 00:19:15.014
  • It's not written by your culture.
  • 00:19:15.081 --> 00:19:17.150
  • Your culture. that code of conduct
  • 00:19:17.217 --> 00:19:17.951
  • That code of conduct is written by inspiration
  • 00:19:18.017 --> 00:19:19.352
  • Is written by inspiration of the holy spirit,
  • 00:19:19.419 --> 00:19:22.755
  • Of the holy spirit, and it's found
  • 00:19:22.822 --> 00:19:23.923
  • And it's found in ephesians 4:32.
  • 00:19:23.990 --> 00:19:29.829
  • In ephesians 4:32. ephesians 4:32
  • 00:19:29.896 --> 00:19:32.532

  • Is the christ-centered code of conduct
  • 00:19:34.200 --> 00:19:35.602
  • Code of conduct for his church.

  • For his church. if you can't remember
  • 00:19:37.737 --> 00:19:38.271
  • If you can't remember that verse, write it down.
  • 00:19:38.338 --> 00:19:41.341

  • You've heard these words before. ephesians 4:32, it says,
  • 00:19:58.458 --> 00:19:59.659
  • Ephesians 4:32, it says, “and be kind one to another.”
  • 00:19:59.726 --> 00:20:05.031
  • “and be kind one to another.” can you imagine how many
  • 00:20:05.098 --> 00:20:05.798
  • Can you imagine how many hurts we could heal
  • 00:20:05.865 --> 00:20:06.799
  • Hurts we could heal if we'd just be kind?
  • 00:20:06.866 --> 00:20:10.370
  • If we'd just be kind? can you imagine how many
  • 00:20:10.436 --> 00:20:11.137
  • Can you imagine how many problems the government
  • 00:20:11.204 --> 00:20:12.372
  • Problems the government wouldn't have to pay to solve
  • 00:20:12.438 --> 00:20:15.375
  • Wouldn't have to pay to solve if we could just be kind?
  • 00:20:15.441 --> 00:20:17.910
  • If we could just be kind? can you imagine how many
  • 00:20:17.977 --> 00:20:18.845
  • Can you imagine how many families could enjoy
  • 00:20:18.911 --> 00:20:22.081
  • Families could enjoy sitting down for
  • 00:20:22.148 --> 00:20:22.882
  • Sitting down for a meal together
  • 00:20:22.949 --> 00:20:25.618
  • A meal together if all we would do is be
  • 00:20:25.685 --> 00:20:26.886
  • If all we would do is be kind one to another?
  • 00:20:26.953 --> 00:20:32.492
  • Kind one to another? kindness is what
  • 00:20:32.558 --> 00:20:34.961
  • Kindness is what jesus christ showed you.
  • 00:20:35.028 --> 00:20:38.131
  • Jesus christ showed you. and what you should know about
  • 00:20:38.197 --> 00:20:38.865
  • And what you should know about kindness is those who deserve it
  • 00:20:38.931 --> 00:20:41.167
  • Kindness is those who deserve it the least need it the most.
  • 00:20:41.234 --> 00:20:45.438
  • The least need it the most. it's easy to be kind
  • 00:20:45.505 --> 00:20:46.406
  • It's easy to be kind to people you like,
  • 00:20:46.472 --> 00:20:49.809
  • To people you like, but the type of kindness
  • 00:20:49.876 --> 00:20:50.877
  • But the type of kindness that jesus showed
  • 00:20:50.943 --> 00:20:53.613
  • That jesus showed is to love those
  • 00:20:53.680 --> 00:20:55.581
  • Is to love those who persecute you and pray

  • Who persecute you and pray for those who curse you.
  • 00:20:58.418 --> 00:21:03.589
  • For those who curse you. people say, “well,

  • People say, “well, they don't deserve it.”
  • 00:21:04.123 --> 00:21:04.924
  • They don't deserve it.” neither did you when
  • 00:21:04.991 --> 00:21:05.758
  • Neither did you when jesus showed up.
  • 00:21:05.825 --> 00:21:08.061
  • [applause]
  • 00:21:08.428 --> 00:21:10.330
  • What would've happened --
  • 00:21:10.730 --> 00:21:13.466
  • What would've happened -- what would've happened if jesus
  • 00:21:13.533 --> 00:21:15.001
  • What would've happened if jesus waited for you to deserve it?
  • 00:21:15.068 --> 00:21:17.804
  • Waited for you to deserve it? you'd still be waiting on it.
  • 00:21:17.870 --> 00:21:23.343
  • You'd still be waiting on it. so, be kind to one another.
  • 00:21:23.409 --> 00:21:28.514
  • So, be kind to one another. don't qualify it, just do it.
  • 00:21:28.581 --> 00:21:31.851
  • Don't qualify it, just do it. and then, next to kindness,
  • 00:21:31.918 --> 00:21:33.319

  • 00:22:14.293 --> 00:22:15.395
  • God is towards you, which is why the bible says,
  • 00:22:15.461 --> 00:22:16.629
  • Which is why the bible says, “his mercy is renewed
  • 00:22:16.696 --> 00:22:17.864
  • “his mercy is renewed every morning.”
  • 00:22:17.930 --> 00:22:20.566

  • He doesn't look at you and say, “no, no, no, no, no.
  • 00:22:27.740 --> 00:22:28.841
  • “no, no, no, no, no. we had that conversation
  • 00:22:28.908 --> 00:22:29.909

  • Towards people in spite of how they behave.
  • 00:22:44.323 --> 00:22:47.026
  • Of how they behave. they don't agree with you?
  • 00:22:47.093 --> 00:22:47.927
  • They don't agree with you? be tenderhearted.
  • 00:22:47.994 --> 00:22:49.796

  • Be tenderhearted. why?
  • 00:22:57.403 --> 00:22:57.837
  • Why? because you are
  • 00:22:57.904 --> 00:22:58.371
  • Because you are the light of the world.
  • 00:22:58.438 --> 00:22:59.038
  • The light of the world. you are supposed to show them
  • 00:22:59.105 --> 00:23:00.006
  • You are supposed to show them how jesus was with you.
  • 00:23:00.072 --> 00:23:03.309
  • How jesus was with you. and then, the last thing
  • 00:23:03.376 --> 00:23:04.277
  • And then, the last thing in this code of conduct,
  • 00:23:04.343 --> 00:23:07.280
  • In this code of conduct, it says,
  • 00:23:07.346 --> 00:23:08.514
  • It says, “forgiving one another.”
  • 00:23:08.581 --> 00:23:11.617

  • Say that with me, “forgiving one another.”
  • 00:23:12.585 --> 00:23:15.855
  • “forgiving one another.” and this kind of forgiveness
  • 00:23:15.922 --> 00:23:16.689
  • And this kind of forgiveness is no ordinary.
  • 00:23:16.756 --> 00:23:19.192
  • Is no ordinary. it says, “forgive one another
  • 00:23:19.258 --> 00:23:21.961
  • It says, “forgive one another as god in christ forgave you.”
  • 00:23:22.028 --> 00:23:29.168
  • As god in christ forgave you.” god forgave you when you
  • 00:23:29.235 --> 00:23:30.870
  • God forgave you when you didn't deserve forgiveness.
  • 00:23:30.937 --> 00:23:34.040
  • Didn't deserve forgiveness. and god forgave you by
  • 00:23:34.106 --> 00:23:36.275
  • And god forgave you by paying the highest price
  • 00:23:36.342 --> 00:23:38.344
  • Paying the highest price that could be paid.
  • 00:23:38.411 --> 00:23:41.814
  • That could be paid. we don't want to forgive
  • 00:23:41.881 --> 00:23:42.715
  • We don't want to forgive somebody for something that
  • 00:23:42.782 --> 00:23:45.017
  • Somebody for something that we've forgotten about.
  • 00:23:45.084 --> 00:23:47.653
  • We've forgotten about. we just knew it made us mad.
  • 00:23:47.720 --> 00:23:50.857
  • We just knew it made us mad. i've talked to people like that.
  • 00:23:50.923 --> 00:23:52.892
  • I've talked to people like that. “why don't you talk to your
  • 00:23:52.959 --> 00:23:53.860
  • “why don't you talk to your brother anymore?”
  • 00:23:53.926 --> 00:23:54.527
  • Brother anymore?” “i don't know.
  • 00:23:54.594 --> 00:23:54.927

  • [muttering]
  • 00:23:55.728 --> 00:23:57.029
  • Always been that way.”
  • 00:23:58.064 --> 00:24:00.333
  • Always been that way.” you can't even remember
  • 00:24:00.399 --> 00:24:01.434
  • You can't even remember why you're mad at him,
  • 00:24:01.501 --> 00:24:04.437
  • Why you're mad at him, but you've got an entire
  • 00:24:04.504 --> 00:24:05.338
  • But you've got an entire family that's divided
  • 00:24:05.404 --> 00:24:06.472
  • Family that's divided straight down the middle,
  • 00:24:06.539 --> 00:24:07.440
  • Straight down the middle, and they don't even know
  • 00:24:07.507 --> 00:24:08.107
  • And they don't even know why they're mad at him?
  • 00:24:08.174 --> 00:24:11.344
  • Why they're mad at him? that's not right.
  • 00:24:11.410 --> 00:24:15.147
  • That's not right. god forgave you
  • 00:24:15.214 --> 00:24:18.384
  • God forgave you and he knew everything
  • 00:24:18.451 --> 00:24:19.352
  • And he knew everything you'd done wrong.

  • You'd done wrong. forgive one another.
  • 00:24:22.889 --> 00:24:24.991
  • Forgive one another. why?
  • 00:24:25.057 --> 00:24:27.793
  • Why? because jesus said,
  • 00:24:27.860 --> 00:24:28.427
  • Because jesus said, “if you don't
  • 00:24:28.494 --> 00:24:28.895
  • “if you don't forgive one another,
  • 00:24:28.961 --> 00:24:29.996
  • Forgive one another, my father won't forgive you.”
  • 00:24:30.062 --> 00:24:34.000
  • My father won't forgive you.” oh, church, do you know
  • 00:24:34.066 --> 00:24:35.368
  • Oh, church, do you know what we could do?
  • 00:24:35.434 --> 00:24:37.003
  • What we could do? if we could just be an

  • And your power to heal and to restore is here.
  • 00:24:53.052 --> 00:24:56.255
  • And to restore is here. but your word said that
  • 00:24:56.322 --> 00:24:59.725
  • But your word said that we would forgive those
  • 00:24:59.792 --> 00:25:02.094
  • We would forgive those who trespassed against us
