- Pastor matt hagee: whenever you
- 00:00:13.841 --> 00:00:14.408
- 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
- 00:04:23.891 --> 00:04:24.892
- Now, this itching ear thing, what is it?
- 00:04:24.958 --> 00:04:28.562
- Thing, what is it? i have labrador dogs.
- 00:04:28.629 --> 00:04:31.398
- I have labrador dogs. i know about itching ears.
- 00:04:31.465 --> 00:04:34.368
- I know about itching ears. every time my labrador dogs
- 00:04:34.435 --> 00:04:35.969
- Every time my labrador dogs run up to me, they look at me
- 00:04:36.036 --> 00:04:37.438
- Run up to me, they look at me and they shake their head
- 00:04:37.504 --> 00:04:38.305
- And they shake their head and they're saying,
- 00:04:38.372 --> 00:04:38.739
- And they're saying, "my ears itch."
- 00:04:38.806 --> 00:04:40.240
- "my ears itch." and you know what
- 00:04:40.307 --> 00:04:40.941
- And you know what they want me to do?
- 00:04:41.008 --> 00:04:42.209
- They want me to do? scratch them.
- 00:04:42.276 --> 00:04:42.643
- Scratch them. "oh, you're gonna be okay.
- 00:04:42.710 --> 00:04:43.711
- "oh, you're gonna be okay. you're gonna be okay."
- 00:04:43.777 --> 00:04:44.678
- [laughter]
- 00:04:45.179 --> 00:04:46.013
- 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.
- 00:04:54.855 --> 00:04:56.357
- [laughter]
- 00:04:56.724 --> 00:04:58.058
- They feel better, but what
- 00:04:58.592 --> 00:05:01.962
- 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
- 00:05:16.176 --> 00:05:17.144
- And then they wanna run off without any appreciation
- 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
- Are going up. it's gonna be okay."
- 00:05:37.364 --> 00:05:38.098
- [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."
- 00:06:12.866 --> 00:06:14.168
- [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.
- 00:07:06.553 --> 00:07:09.857
- [applause]
- 00:07:10.324 --> 00:07:17.431
- 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
- Glory, hallelujah, thank you, jesus!
- 00:09:10.577 --> 00:09:11.845
- [applause]
- 00:09:12.212 --> 00:09:17.284
- People say, “well,
- 00:09:18.318 --> 00:09:18.885
- People say, “well, god loves us too much.”
- 00:09:18.952 --> 00:09:21.588
- God loves us too much.” the question has never been,
- 00:09:21.655 --> 00:09:22.656
- The question has never been, “does god love?”
- 00:09:22.723 --> 00:09:24.524
- “does god love?” the bible says it
- 00:09:24.591 --> 00:09:25.425
- The bible says it very clearly that,
- 00:09:25.492 --> 00:09:26.460
- Very clearly that, “god loved us that while
- 00:09:26.526 --> 00:09:28.028
- “god loved us that while we were yet sinners,
- 00:09:28.095 --> 00:09:30.130
- We were yet sinners, christ died for us.”
- 00:09:30.197 --> 00:09:32.132
- 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,
- 00:09:36.269 --> 00:09:36.903
- The question is, do we love him?
- 00:09:36.970 --> 00:09:40.007
- Do we love him? he loved us enough to die.
- 00:09:40.073 --> 00:09:41.775
- He loved us enough to die. do we love him enough
- 00:09:41.842 --> 00:09:43.543
- Do we love him enough to change?
- 00:09:43.610 --> 00:09:47.981
- To change? the choice is ours.
- 00:09:48.048 --> 00:09:49.483
- The choice is ours. we can either preach the truth
- 00:09:49.549 --> 00:09:50.684
- We can either preach the truth in love and change the world,
- 00:09:50.751 --> 00:09:55.756
- In love and change the world, or we can do what makes
- 00:09:55.822 --> 00:09:57.024
- Or we can do what makes people feel good and become
- 00:09:57.090 --> 00:10:00.794
- People feel good and become a spiritual fraternity
- 00:10:00.861 --> 00:10:03.063
- A spiritual fraternity that's neither hot nor cold.
- 00:10:03.130 --> 00:10:05.632
- That's neither hot nor cold. and jesus said, “because you're
- 00:10:05.699 --> 00:10:06.800
- And jesus said, “because you're neither hot nor cold,
- 00:10:06.867 --> 00:10:07.834
- Neither hot nor cold, i'm going to spew you
- 00:10:07.901 --> 00:10:09.870
- I'm going to spew you out of my mouth.”
- 00:10:09.936 --> 00:10:12.105
- Out of my mouth.” it's up to us.
- 00:10:12.172 --> 00:10:14.641
- It's up to us. i believe that the same god
- 00:10:14.708 --> 00:10:17.511
- I believe that the same god who was with moses,
- 00:10:17.577 --> 00:10:19.579
- Who was with moses, and the same god
- 00:10:19.646 --> 00:10:20.213
- And the same god who was with joshua,
- 00:10:20.280 --> 00:10:21.882
- Who was with joshua, and the same god
- 00:10:21.948 --> 00:10:22.749
- And the same god who was with elijah,
- 00:10:22.816 --> 00:10:24.251
- Who was with elijah, and the same god
- 00:10:24.317 --> 00:10:25.152
- And the same god who was with elisha,
- 00:10:25.218 --> 00:10:26.720
- Who was with elisha, and the same god
- 00:10:26.787 --> 00:10:27.854
- And the same god that was manifested
- 00:10:27.921 --> 00:10:28.722
- That was manifested in the miracles of jesus,
- 00:10:28.789 --> 00:10:30.157
- In the miracles of jesus, and the same god that
- 00:10:30.223 --> 00:10:31.425
- And the same god that used the disciples
- 00:10:31.491 --> 00:10:32.392
- Used the disciples to turn the world upside down,
- 00:10:32.459 --> 00:10:33.994
- To turn the world upside down, he is the same yesterday,
- 00:10:34.061 --> 00:10:35.729
- He is the same yesterday, today and forever.
- 00:10:35.796 --> 00:10:37.164
- Today and forever. he was with our grandfathers,
- 00:10:37.230 --> 00:10:38.965
- He was with our grandfathers, he was with our fathers,
- 00:10:39.032 --> 00:10:40.434
- He was with our fathers, and if we will be
- 00:10:40.500 --> 00:10:41.401
- And if we will be faithful to him,
- 00:10:41.468 --> 00:10:42.169
- Faithful to him, he will be with us.
- 00:10:42.235 --> 00:10:43.770
- He will be with us. the torch of truth has been
- 00:10:43.837 --> 00:10:45.338
- The torch of truth has been passed to this generation.
- 00:10:45.405 --> 00:10:47.340
- Passed to this generation. and i am praying that
- 00:10:47.407 --> 00:10:48.742
- And i am praying that like joshua did,
- 00:10:48.809 --> 00:10:49.776
- Like joshua did, we would be bold,
- 00:10:49.843 --> 00:10:51.044
- We would be bold, and we would be strong
- 00:10:51.111 --> 00:10:52.245
- And we would be strong knowing that the lord
- 00:10:52.312 --> 00:10:53.180
- Knowing that the lord our god is with us,
- 00:10:53.246 --> 00:10:54.881
- Our god is with us, that we would not be
- 00:10:54.948 --> 00:10:55.816
- That we would not be distracted by the right,
- 00:10:55.882 --> 00:10:57.317
- Distracted by the right, and we would not be
- 00:10:57.384 --> 00:10:58.185
- And we would not be turned to the left,
- 00:10:58.251 --> 00:10:59.419
- Turned to the left, but we would focus on
- 00:10:59.486 --> 00:11:00.320
- But we would focus on the bloodstained banner
- 00:11:00.387 --> 00:11:01.655
- The bloodstained banner of his truth at
- 00:11:01.722 --> 00:11:03.090
- Of his truth at the cross of calvary
- 00:11:03.156 --> 00:11:04.291
- The cross of calvary and that we would march
- 00:11:04.357 --> 00:11:05.125
- And that we would march victoriously until
- 00:11:05.192 --> 00:11:06.593
- Victoriously until christ comes.

- He doesn't deserve. don't you think what
- 00:15:37.497 --> 00:15:38.665
- Don't you think what he's going to say would
- 00:15:38.732 --> 00:15:39.866
- He's going to say would be pretty important?
- 00:15:39.933 --> 00:15:42.569
- Be pretty important? but he didn't ask
- 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

- “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

- “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

- [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

- 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

- 00:19:15.081 --> 00:19:17.150
- Your culture. that code of conduct
- 00:19:17.217 --> 00:19:17.951

- 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

- 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

- 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
- 00:20:55.648 --> 00:20:58.351

- 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

- 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
- “forgiving one another.” say that with me,
- 00:23:11.684 --> 00:23:12.518
- 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.
- 00:24:19.418 --> 00:24:22.822
- 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
- 00:24:37.069 --> 00:24:37.837
- If we could just be an ephesians 4:32 kind of church.
- 00:24:37.904 --> 00:24:41.240
- I want you to stand
- 00:24:44.410 --> 00:24:45.111
- I want you to stand to your feet.
- 00:24:45.177 --> 00:24:48.080

- 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
- 00:25:02.161 --> 00:25:04.664

- I pray today that healing would come to this house
- 00:25:10.570 --> 00:25:13.105
