00:00:00.094 --> 00:00:13.874
Pastor matt hagee: what type
00:00:17.645 --> 00:00:18.179
Pastor matt hagee: what type of church will we be?
00:00:18.245 --> 00:00:21.382
Of church will we be? when you read the new testament
00:00:21.449 --> 00:00:22.783
When you read the new testament and you look at the letters
00:00:22.850 --> 00:00:23.717
And you look at the letters that paul wrote
00:00:23.784 --> 00:00:24.752
That paul wrote to the churches that
00:00:24.819 --> 00:00:25.586
To the churches that he was pastoring,
00:00:25.653 --> 00:00:27.521
He was pastoring, he provides several images
00:00:27.588 --> 00:00:29.390
He provides several images that help us understand
00:00:29.457 --> 00:00:30.624
That help us understand how the church
00:00:30.691 --> 00:00:31.492
How the church is supposed to function.
00:00:31.559 --> 00:00:33.394
Is supposed to function. for example, when you read
00:00:33.461 --> 00:00:34.628
For example, when you read romans or 1 and 2 corinthians,
00:00:34.695 --> 00:00:36.897
Romans or 1 and 2 corinthians, even ephesians and colossians,
00:00:36.964 --> 00:00:39.133
Even ephesians and colossians, paul uses the image
00:00:39.200 --> 00:00:40.234
Paul uses the image of a human body.
00:00:40.301 --> 00:00:41.902
Of a human body. just as your physical body
00:00:41.969 --> 00:00:43.137
Just as your physical body has many members and many
00:00:43.204 --> 00:00:44.438
Has many members and many parts seen and unseen,
00:00:44.505 --> 00:00:46.907
Parts seen and unseen, they all function together
00:00:46.974 --> 00:00:48.642
They all function together in submission to the head.
00:00:48.709 --> 00:00:51.312
In submission to the head. paul mentions in this passage
00:00:51.378 --> 00:00:53.414
Paul mentions in this passage about the body of christ that
00:00:53.481 --> 00:00:55.249
About the body of christ that we are all here for one purpose,
00:00:55.316 --> 00:00:57.651
We are all here for one purpose, and that is to serve the head,
00:00:57.718 --> 00:00:59.386
And that is to serve the head, which is the lord,
00:00:59.453 --> 00:01:00.087
Which is the lord, jesus christ."
00:01:00.154 --> 00:01:01.589
Jesus christ." make no mistake about it,
00:01:01.655 --> 00:01:02.756
Make no mistake about it, jesus christ is the head
00:01:02.823 --> 00:01:04.758
Jesus christ is the head of the church.
00:01:04.825 --> 00:01:06.026
Of the church. this church
00:01:06.093 --> 00:01:06.927
This church and every other church.
00:01:06.994 --> 00:01:08.829
And every other church. ephesians 2:20,
00:01:08.896 --> 00:01:10.764
Ephesians 2:20, it tells us that the church
00:01:10.831 --> 00:01:12.600
It tells us that the church is not just a body,
00:01:12.666 --> 00:01:13.701
Is not just a body, but it's also a building.
00:01:13.767 --> 00:01:15.803
But it's also a building. and that as a building,
00:01:15.870 --> 00:01:17.037
And that as a building, it is being built upon
00:01:17.104 --> 00:01:18.239
It is being built upon a foundation,
00:01:18.305 --> 00:01:19.373
A foundation, the chief cornerstone,
00:01:19.440 --> 00:01:20.941
The chief cornerstone, which is jesus christ.
00:01:21.008 --> 00:01:23.410
Which is jesus christ. in 1 peter 2,
00:01:23.477 --> 00:01:24.778
In 1 peter 2, we're called living stones,
00:01:24.845 --> 00:01:26.847
We're called living stones, meaning that every one of us
00:01:26.914 --> 00:01:28.549
Meaning that every one of us are to live our lives dedicated
00:01:28.616 --> 00:01:30.718
Are to live our lives dedicated to building the house
00:01:30.784 --> 00:01:32.219
To building the house of the living god,
00:01:32.286 --> 00:01:33.320
Of the living god, which is the church
00:01:33.387 --> 00:01:34.455
Which is the church here on earth.
00:01:34.522 --> 00:01:36.023
Here on earth. in galatians 3,
00:01:36.090 --> 00:01:37.291
In galatians 3, we're called a family,
00:01:37.358 --> 00:01:38.659
We're called a family, and the reason we're called
00:01:38.726 --> 00:01:39.660
And the reason we're called family is because
00:01:39.727 --> 00:01:40.928
Family is because we have common blood.
00:01:40.995 --> 00:01:42.563
We have common blood. it doesn't matter where you
00:01:42.630 --> 00:01:43.797
It doesn't matter where you came from or where i came from,
00:01:43.864 --> 00:01:45.799
Came from or where i came from, what we've been through,
00:01:45.866 --> 00:01:46.967
What we've been through, we are all here by
00:01:47.034 --> 00:01:48.969
We are all here by the blood of jesus.
00:01:49.036 --> 00:01:50.504
The blood of jesus. galatians 3:26 says,
00:01:50.571 --> 00:01:52.139
Galatians 3:26 says, "you are all sons
00:01:52.206 --> 00:01:53.574
"you are all sons and daughter of god through
00:01:53.641 --> 00:01:55.042
And daughter of god through faith in christ.
00:01:55.109 --> 00:01:57.478
Faith in christ. when you look at ephesians 6
00:01:57.545 --> 00:01:58.779
When you look at ephesians 6 and 2 corinthians,
00:01:58.846 --> 00:01:59.747
And 2 corinthians, we're commissioned
00:01:59.813 --> 00:02:00.848
We're commissioned to be an army.
00:02:00.915 --> 00:02:02.683
To be an army. it says that we can wage war
00:02:02.750 --> 00:02:04.585
It says that we can wage war in heavenly places and cast down
00:02:04.652 --> 00:02:06.453
In heavenly places and cast down every high thing that exalts
00:02:06.520 --> 00:02:07.855
Every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge
00:02:07.922 --> 00:02:09.690
Itself against the knowledge of god.
00:02:09.757 --> 00:02:10.291
Of god. jesus christ promised us
00:02:10.357 --> 00:02:12.259
Jesus christ promised us that when we worked as a unified
00:02:12.326 --> 00:02:14.728
That when we worked as a unified army of the living god,
00:02:14.795 --> 00:02:15.996
Army of the living god, that what we bound on earth
00:02:16.063 --> 00:02:18.265
That what we bound on earth was going to be bound
00:02:18.332 --> 00:02:19.433
Was going to be bound in heaven,
00:02:19.500 --> 00:02:20.267
In heaven, and the gates of hell
00:02:20.334 --> 00:02:22.102
And the gates of hell would not prevail against it.
00:02:22.169 --> 00:02:25.239
Would not prevail against it. that word bind means that we get
00:02:25.306 --> 00:02:26.874
That word bind means that we get to take control of it.
00:02:26.941 --> 00:02:28.409
To take control of it. and then he promised that
00:02:28.475 --> 00:02:29.677
And then he promised that he would give us the keys
00:02:29.743 --> 00:02:30.945
He would give us the keys to the kingdom.
00:02:31.011 --> 00:02:31.645
To the kingdom. not only did he say you
00:02:31.712 --> 00:02:32.746
Not only did he say you could bind it,
00:02:32.813 --> 00:02:33.614
Could bind it, but he said
00:02:33.681 --> 00:02:34.281
But he said whatever you loosed on earth
00:02:34.348 --> 00:02:36.083
Whatever you loosed on earth would be loosed in heaven,
00:02:36.150 --> 00:02:37.818
Would be loosed in heaven, meaning that
00:02:37.885 --> 00:02:38.352
Meaning that we are in authority here
00:02:38.419 --> 00:02:39.987
We are in authority here on earth because we have
00:02:40.054 --> 00:02:41.322
On earth because we have his power and his name.
00:02:41.388 --> 00:02:44.491
His power and his name. jesus said when two or three
00:02:44.558 --> 00:02:45.726
Jesus said when two or three of us came together in agreement
00:02:45.793 --> 00:02:47.828
Of us came together in agreement concerning anything,
00:02:47.895 --> 00:02:49.129
Concerning anything, and we asked the father
00:02:49.196 --> 00:02:50.731
And we asked the father in the name of jesus,
00:02:50.798 --> 00:02:52.199
In the name of jesus, whatever we asked,
00:02:52.266 --> 00:02:53.701
Whatever we asked, it would be done.
00:02:53.767 --> 00:02:54.702
It would be done. he said when we gathered,
00:02:54.768 --> 00:02:56.270
He said when we gathered, that he would be there.
00:02:56.337 --> 00:02:57.538
That he would be there. he said, "two or three of you,
00:02:57.605 --> 00:02:59.039
He said, "two or three of you, and i will be in your midst."
00:02:59.106 --> 00:03:02.176
And i will be in your midst." that's good news church.
00:03:02.243 --> 00:03:04.578
That's good news church. look around you,
00:03:04.645 --> 00:03:05.446
Look around you, there's more than two
00:03:05.512 --> 00:03:06.313
There's more than two or three in this house.
00:03:06.380 --> 00:03:07.648
Or three in this house. which means based on
00:03:07.715 --> 00:03:08.882
Which means based on the promise of his word,
00:03:08.949 --> 00:03:10.251
The promise of his word, king jesus is in this sanctuary.
00:03:10.317 --> 00:03:13.020
[applause]
00:03:13.520 --> 00:03:18.859
When we're together, he's here.
00:03:19.493 --> 00:03:22.763
When we're together, he's here. when we're divided, he's gone.
00:03:22.830 --> 00:03:27.301
When we're divided, he's gone. our fellowship,
00:03:27.368 --> 00:03:28.636
Our fellowship, our unity,
00:03:28.702 --> 00:03:29.903
Our unity, our coming together in
00:03:29.970 --> 00:03:31.105
Our coming together in his name is how
00:03:31.171 --> 00:03:32.706
His name is how we accomplish his will.
00:03:32.773 --> 00:03:35.175
We accomplish his will. which means that each
00:03:35.242 --> 00:03:36.310
Which means that each of us individually have
00:03:36.377 --> 00:03:37.811
Of us individually have to commit ourselves
00:03:37.878 --> 00:03:40.147
To commit ourselves to overcoming
00:03:40.214 --> 00:03:41.982
To overcoming whatever divides us.
00:03:42.049 --> 00:03:45.286
Whatever divides us. and the reason i call it
00:03:45.352 --> 00:03:46.120
And the reason i call it the great divide is
00:03:46.186 --> 00:03:48.289
The great divide is not because the things
00:03:48.355 --> 00:03:49.390
Not because the things that divide us are so huge.
00:03:49.456 --> 00:03:53.227
That divide us are so huge. whether you know it or not,
00:03:53.294 --> 00:03:54.295
Whether you know it or not, you have a lot more in
00:03:54.361 --> 00:03:55.195
You have a lot more in common with the people
00:03:55.262 --> 00:03:56.096
Common with the people around you than you think.
00:03:56.163 --> 00:03:58.832
Around you than you think. jesus forgave them
00:03:58.899 --> 00:04:00.267
Jesus forgave them and washed them in his blood
00:04:00.334 --> 00:04:01.735
And washed them in his blood just like he did you.
00:04:01.802 --> 00:04:04.838
Just like he did you. but the things that divide us,
00:04:04.905 --> 00:04:06.106
But the things that divide us, although they're
00:04:06.173 --> 00:04:07.007
Although they're not massive issues,
00:04:07.074 --> 00:04:08.776
Not massive issues, they have a major impact
00:04:08.842 --> 00:04:11.145
They have a major impact when you look at it
00:04:11.211 --> 00:04:11.945
When you look at it from heaven's perspective.
00:04:12.012 --> 00:04:14.548
From heaven's perspective. a divided church is a powerless
00:04:14.615 --> 00:04:16.350
A divided church is a powerless church because the supernatural
00:04:16.417 --> 00:04:19.753
Church because the supernatural power of god is only commanded
00:04:19.820 --> 00:04:22.589
Power of god is only commanded upon those who walk in unity.
00:04:22.656 --> 00:04:25.559
Upon those who walk in unity. so, here's the question,
00:04:25.626 --> 00:04:26.694
So, here's the question, are we an audience
00:04:26.760 --> 00:04:28.829
Are we an audience or are we a fellowship?
00:04:28.896 --> 00:04:32.399
Or are we a fellowship? if we're an audience,
00:04:32.466 --> 00:04:33.567
If we're an audience, we're here to receive something
00:04:33.634 --> 00:04:35.536
We're here to receive something and go home.
00:04:35.602 --> 00:04:37.471
And go home. if we're a fellowship,
00:04:37.538 --> 00:04:38.505
If we're a fellowship, we're here to be
00:04:38.572 --> 00:04:39.406
We're here to be with one another,
00:04:39.473 --> 00:04:41.241
With one another, build each other up,
00:04:41.308 --> 00:04:42.843
Build each other up, bear one another's burdens,
00:04:42.910 --> 00:04:44.278
Bear one another's burdens, pray for one another,
00:04:44.345 --> 00:04:45.479
Pray for one another, serve one another,
00:04:45.546 --> 00:04:46.747
Serve one another, love one another.
00:04:46.814 --> 00:04:49.183
Paul writes to the church
00:04:50.484 --> 00:04:51.652
Paul writes to the church in corinth...
00:04:51.719 --> 00:04:52.386
[applause]
00:04:52.886 --> 00:04:55.689
Paul writes to the church
00:04:56.056 --> 00:04:56.857
Paul writes to the church in corinth.
00:04:56.924 --> 00:04:57.491
In corinth. he says,
00:04:57.558 --> 00:04:57.991
He says, "i plead with you."
00:04:58.058 --> 00:05:00.194
"i plead with you." he's begging them.
00:05:00.260 --> 00:05:01.795
He's begging them. "by the name of the lord,
00:05:01.862 --> 00:05:02.896
"by the name of the lord, jesus christ,
00:05:02.963 --> 00:05:03.897
Jesus christ, do not let there be
00:05:03.964 --> 00:05:05.232
Do not let there be any division."
00:05:05.299 --> 00:05:07.301
Any division." this is a church
00:05:07.368 --> 00:05:08.035
This is a church that he spent 18 months
00:05:08.102 --> 00:05:09.336
That he spent 18 months with preaching the gospel to.
00:05:09.403 --> 00:05:11.338
With preaching the gospel to. this is a church that
00:05:11.405 --> 00:05:12.473
This is a church that began as a fellowship.
00:05:12.539 --> 00:05:14.174
Began as a fellowship. brothers and sisters in christ
00:05:14.241 --> 00:05:16.143
Brothers and sisters in christ were turning from their old life
00:05:16.210 --> 00:05:18.078
Were turning from their old life to the gospel of jesus christ,
00:05:18.145 --> 00:05:19.847
To the gospel of jesus christ, and they were being set free.
00:05:19.913 --> 00:05:21.949
And they were being set free. the fellowship,
00:05:22.015 --> 00:05:23.083
The fellowship, they came together
00:05:23.150 --> 00:05:24.051
They came together with a common purpose.
00:05:24.118 --> 00:05:25.319
With a common purpose. all different people,
00:05:25.386 --> 00:05:26.553
All different people, greeks, jews, romans,
00:05:26.620 --> 00:05:28.255
Greeks, jews, romans, gentiles, young,
00:05:28.322 --> 00:05:29.590
Gentiles, young, old, male, female.
00:05:29.656 --> 00:05:32.025
Old, male, female. every one of them,
00:05:32.092 --> 00:05:32.860
Every one of them, no matter what
00:05:32.926 --> 00:05:33.460
No matter what they'd been through,
00:05:33.527 --> 00:05:34.261
They'd been through, they'd heard the message
00:05:34.328 --> 00:05:35.329
They'd heard the message of the gospel
00:05:35.396 --> 00:05:36.096
Of the gospel and they believed in
00:05:36.163 --> 00:05:37.297
And they believed in the redemptive power
00:05:37.364 --> 00:05:38.332
The redemptive power of his grace.
00:05:38.399 --> 00:05:39.099
Of his grace. they believed that jesus christ
00:05:39.166 --> 00:05:41.001
They believed that jesus christ died and rose again.
00:05:41.068 --> 00:05:42.669
Died and rose again. they received the gift
00:05:42.736 --> 00:05:44.171
They received the gift and the outpouring
00:05:44.238 --> 00:05:45.005
And the outpouring of the holy spirit.
00:05:45.072 --> 00:05:46.006
Of the holy spirit. they were functioning as a body
00:05:46.073 --> 00:05:47.775
They were functioning as a body and turning the city of corinth
00:05:47.841 --> 00:05:49.476
And turning the city of corinth around for jesus christ.
00:05:49.543 --> 00:05:52.079
Around for jesus christ. they were
00:05:52.146 --> 00:05:52.613
They were the household of faith.
00:05:52.679 --> 00:05:54.715
The household of faith. but then something happened.
00:05:54.782 --> 00:05:57.017
But then something happened. paul tells us in verse 11,
00:05:57.084 --> 00:05:58.452
Paul tells us in verse 11, he says,
00:05:58.519 --> 00:05:59.086
He says, "it's been reported to me
00:05:59.153 --> 00:06:00.854
"it's been reported to me that there are contentions
00:06:00.921 --> 00:06:02.656
That there are contentions among you."
00:06:02.723 --> 00:06:04.191
Among you." they started to get divided,
00:06:04.258 --> 00:06:05.993
They started to get divided, and the thing that divided
00:06:06.059 --> 00:06:07.094
And the thing that divided them was a small thing,
00:06:07.161 --> 00:06:08.662
Them was a small thing, but it turns into a major issue.
00:06:08.729 --> 00:06:11.398
But it turns into a major issue. you see, paul started
00:06:11.465 --> 00:06:12.633
You see, paul started the church with his preaching,
00:06:12.699 --> 00:06:14.134
The church with his preaching, and then soon after
00:06:14.201 --> 00:06:15.202
And then soon after he began the church,
00:06:15.269 --> 00:06:16.537
He began the church, when he went to the next church,
00:06:16.603 --> 00:06:17.971
When he went to the next church, a gentleman by the name
00:06:18.038 --> 00:06:18.939
A gentleman by the name of apollos came,
00:06:19.006 --> 00:06:20.174
Of apollos came, and he began to preach.
00:06:20.240 --> 00:06:21.575
And he began to preach. now, apollos was a man full
00:06:21.642 --> 00:06:23.277
Now, apollos was a man full of faith according
00:06:23.343 --> 00:06:24.278
Of faith according to the book of acts.
00:06:24.344 --> 00:06:25.212
To the book of acts. he was a brother in christ,
00:06:25.279 --> 00:06:26.447
He was a brother in christ, but he was a little
00:06:26.513 --> 00:06:27.181
But he was a little different than paul.
00:06:27.247 --> 00:06:28.081
Different than paul. paul was more of a fire
00:06:28.148 --> 00:06:29.850
Paul was more of a fire and brimstone preacher
00:06:29.917 --> 00:06:31.051
And brimstone preacher and apollos was more eloquent
00:06:31.118 --> 00:06:32.853
And apollos was more eloquent and used nice words
00:06:32.920 --> 00:06:34.321
And used nice words according to what
00:06:34.388 --> 00:06:34.988
According to what the bible has to say.
00:06:35.055 --> 00:06:37.124
The bible has to say. and then there's cephas.
00:06:37.191 --> 00:06:38.425
And then there's cephas. now, when you read
00:06:38.492 --> 00:06:39.159
Now, when you read the name cephas,
00:06:39.226 --> 00:06:40.127
The name cephas, you need to know that
00:06:40.194 --> 00:06:40.861
You need to know that they're taking about peter,
00:06:40.928 --> 00:06:42.229
They're taking about peter, who is an apostle,
00:06:42.296 --> 00:06:43.297
Who is an apostle, a follower of jesus christ.
00:06:43.363 --> 00:06:46.333
A follower of jesus christ. and peter was more
00:06:46.400 --> 00:06:47.434
And peter was more into tradition.
00:06:47.501 --> 00:06:49.136
Into tradition. so, what started to divide
00:06:49.203 --> 00:06:50.337
So, what started to divide the church is that part
00:06:50.404 --> 00:06:51.772
The church is that part of the church says,
00:06:51.839 --> 00:06:52.473
Of the church says, "well, i like it when
00:06:52.539 --> 00:06:53.340
"well, i like it when brother paul preaches,
00:06:53.407 --> 00:06:54.541
Brother paul preaches, he really touches me."
00:06:54.608 --> 00:06:57.511
He really touches me." and somebody said,
00:06:57.578 --> 00:06:58.011
And somebody said, "oh no, you ought
00:06:58.078 --> 00:06:59.012
"oh no, you ought to hear apollos.
00:06:59.079 --> 00:06:59.813
To hear apollos. he brings the word."
00:06:59.880 --> 00:07:01.849
He brings the word." and somebody said,
00:07:01.915 --> 00:07:02.382
And somebody said, "well, if i had my preference,
00:07:02.449 --> 00:07:04.985
"well, if i had my preference, i'd choose to listen
00:07:05.052 --> 00:07:05.819
I'd choose to listen to cephas or peter."
00:07:05.886 --> 00:07:11.391
To cephas or peter." and as silly as that sounds,
00:07:11.458 --> 00:07:14.361
And as silly as that sounds, that division created a space
00:07:14.428 --> 00:07:17.798
That division created a space where the devil got
00:07:17.865 --> 00:07:18.632
Where the devil got to get into this church
00:07:18.699 --> 00:07:20.000
To get into this church and start taking them
00:07:20.067 --> 00:07:21.201
And start taking them down a road that
00:07:21.268 --> 00:07:22.436
Down a road that left them powerless.
00:07:22.503 --> 00:07:25.172
Left them powerless. they were no longer coming
00:07:25.239 --> 00:07:26.173
They were no longer coming together for fellowship,
00:07:26.240 --> 00:07:27.407
Together for fellowship, they were no longer
00:07:27.474 --> 00:07:28.208
They were no longer coming together
00:07:28.275 --> 00:07:28.876
Coming together to serve one another,
00:07:28.942 --> 00:07:30.110
To serve one another, they were now coming together
00:07:30.177 --> 00:07:31.478
They were now coming together as an audience because
00:07:31.545 --> 00:07:32.980
As an audience because they had preferences.
00:07:33.046 --> 00:07:35.616
They had preferences. were they gathering
00:07:35.682 --> 00:07:36.350
Were they gathering as a church?
00:07:36.416 --> 00:07:37.317
As a church? yes.
00:07:37.384 --> 00:07:38.018
Yes. were they functioning
00:07:38.085 --> 00:07:38.685
Were they functioning as a church?
00:07:38.752 --> 00:07:39.586
As a church? no.
00:07:39.653 --> 00:07:40.621
No. why?
00:07:40.687 --> 00:07:42.189
Why? because they'd lost their sense
00:07:42.256 --> 00:07:43.357
Because they'd lost their sense of purpose and were more
00:07:43.423 --> 00:07:44.925
Of purpose and were more addicted to their preference.
00:07:44.992 --> 00:07:47.728
Addicted to their preference. you see,
00:07:47.794 --> 00:07:48.228
You see, audiences have preferences,
00:07:48.295 --> 00:07:50.397
Audiences have preferences, but churches have a purpose.
00:07:50.464 --> 00:07:52.799
[applause]
00:07:53.500 --> 00:07:59.473
And as silly as it sounds
00:07:59.940 --> 00:08:00.574
And as silly as it sounds in the book of corinth,
00:08:00.641 --> 00:08:01.508
In the book of corinth, how many times have we seen
00:08:01.575 --> 00:08:03.076
How many times have we seen this same tragedy play out
00:08:03.143 --> 00:08:04.912
This same tragedy play out over the world?
00:08:04.978 --> 00:08:07.214
Over the world? church after church,
00:08:07.281 --> 00:08:08.448
Church after church, time and time again,
00:08:08.515 --> 00:08:09.850
Time and time again, god begins to move,
00:08:09.917 --> 00:08:11.218
God begins to move, the gospel is preached,
00:08:11.285 --> 00:08:12.252
The gospel is preached, lives are changed,
00:08:12.319 --> 00:08:13.420
Lives are changed, and a fellowship is born
00:08:13.487 --> 00:08:15.289
And a fellowship is born in faith and the power of god,
00:08:15.355 --> 00:08:17.357
In faith and the power of god, in the anointing
00:08:17.424 --> 00:08:18.258
In the anointing of the holy spirit.
00:08:18.325 --> 00:08:19.326
Of the holy spirit. but over time,
00:08:19.393 --> 00:08:20.394
But over time, while they gather in the same
00:08:20.460 --> 00:08:21.695
While they gather in the same place at the same time
00:08:21.762 --> 00:08:23.330
Place at the same time under the same name,
00:08:23.397 --> 00:08:24.498
Under the same name, they lose their power.
00:08:24.565 --> 00:08:26.099
They lose their power. why?
00:08:26.166 --> 00:08:28.001
Why? because they were once
00:08:28.068 --> 00:08:29.102
Because they were once a force of fellowship,
00:08:29.169 --> 00:08:30.504
A force of fellowship, but now they're an audience
00:08:30.571 --> 00:08:32.005
But now they're an audience with preferences.
00:08:32.072 --> 00:08:34.675
With preferences. division costs us dearly.
00:08:34.741 --> 00:08:37.678
Division costs us dearly. it might be
00:08:37.744 --> 00:08:38.345
It might be a minor disagreement,
00:08:38.412 --> 00:08:39.746
A minor disagreement, but it costs us
00:08:39.813 --> 00:08:41.415
But it costs us a major derailment.
00:08:41.481 --> 00:08:44.217
A major derailment. be careful when you start
00:08:44.284 --> 00:08:45.786
Be careful when you start to divide yourself within
00:08:45.852 --> 00:08:47.588
To divide yourself within the house of god.
00:08:47.654 --> 00:08:51.058
The house of god. and you say,
00:08:51.124 --> 00:08:51.525
And you say, "well, it's not that
00:08:51.592 --> 00:08:52.059
"well, it's not that big a deal."
00:08:52.125 --> 00:08:52.626
Big a deal." oh yes, it is because your
00:08:52.693 --> 00:08:56.330
Oh yes, it is because your disagreement costs
00:08:56.396 --> 00:08:57.798
Disagreement costs the whole house.
00:08:57.864 --> 00:09:00.400
The whole house. when we pursue our purpose,
00:09:00.467 --> 00:09:01.768
When we pursue our purpose, we're a fellowship
00:09:01.835 --> 00:09:02.536
We're a fellowship with many members,
00:09:02.603 --> 00:09:03.737
With many members, each member contributing
00:09:03.804 --> 00:09:05.272
Each member contributing to the good of the whole.
00:09:05.339 --> 00:09:07.908
To the good of the whole. everybody in this room has
00:09:07.975 --> 00:09:09.810
Everybody in this room has a contribution to make
00:09:09.876 --> 00:09:11.078
A contribution to make to the body of christ.
00:09:11.144 --> 00:09:14.348
To the body of christ. everybody on this campus
00:09:14.414 --> 00:09:16.016
Everybody on this campus in the family of god
00:09:16.083 --> 00:09:17.050
In the family of god has a contribution to make
00:09:17.117 --> 00:09:18.619
Has a contribution to make to the body of christ.
00:09:18.685 --> 00:09:20.954
To the body of christ. you say,
00:09:21.021 --> 00:09:21.488
You say, "well, there's some children
00:09:21.555 --> 00:09:22.522
"well, there's some children in the nursery."
00:09:22.589 --> 00:09:23.357
In the nursery." they're going to be
00:09:23.423 --> 00:09:24.157
They're going to be a contribution to our future.
00:09:24.224 --> 00:09:25.892
A contribution to our future. just wait on 'em
00:09:25.959 --> 00:09:26.960
Just wait on 'em and let 'em grow up.
00:09:27.027 --> 00:09:27.928
[applause]
00:09:28.695 --> 00:09:33.166
But when we allow
00:09:33.667 --> 00:09:34.768
But when we allow little things to divide us,
00:09:34.835 --> 00:09:37.938
Little things to divide us, insignificant things,
00:09:38.005 --> 00:09:40.607
Insignificant things, we may gather in number
00:09:40.674 --> 00:09:42.109
We may gather in number and we may gather in name,
00:09:42.175 --> 00:09:43.644
And we may gather in name, but we do not have any force.
00:09:43.710 --> 00:09:47.180
But we do not have any force. when we are united,
00:09:47.247 --> 00:09:48.482
When we are united, the devil cannot do anything
00:09:48.548 --> 00:09:50.550
The devil cannot do anything to defeat us because we are
00:09:50.617 --> 00:09:52.152
To defeat us because we are unstoppable based
00:09:52.219 --> 00:09:53.654
Unstoppable based on the power of god,
00:09:53.720 --> 00:09:54.921
On the power of god, the name of jesus,
00:09:54.988 --> 00:09:56.123
The name of jesus, the word that works,
00:09:56.189 --> 00:09:57.324
The word that works, the anointing
00:09:57.391 --> 00:09:58.191
The anointing of the holy spirit.
00:09:58.258 --> 00:09:59.159
Of the holy spirit. jesus said the gates
00:09:59.226 --> 00:10:00.594
Jesus said the gates of hell shall not prevail.
00:10:00.661 --> 00:10:02.763
[applause]
00:10:03.463 --> 00:10:06.199
Do you write down your prayers?

00:11:00.454 --> 00:11:03.490
But when we're divided,
00:11:03.557 --> 00:11:06.159
But when we're divided, we blame the enemy,
00:11:06.226 --> 00:11:07.961
We blame the enemy, but he didn't defeat us,
00:11:08.028 --> 00:11:10.230
But he didn't defeat us, we defeated ourselves.
00:11:10.297 --> 00:11:12.866
We defeated ourselves. we allowed separation to cause
00:11:12.933 --> 00:11:14.634
We allowed separation to cause us to pursue our preferences
00:11:14.701 --> 00:11:17.137
Us to pursue our preferences instead of our purposes.
00:11:17.204 --> 00:11:19.906
Instead of our purposes. so, what's the answer?
00:11:19.973 --> 00:11:22.309
So, what's the answer? paul tells us very clearly
00:11:22.375 --> 00:11:24.111
Paul tells us very clearly in 1 corinthians
00:11:24.177 --> 00:11:25.846
In 1 corinthians how we're to behave.
00:11:25.912 --> 00:11:27.781
How we're to behave. he begins by saying,
00:11:27.848 --> 00:11:28.882
He begins by saying, "god is faithful."
00:11:28.949 --> 00:11:30.984
"god is faithful." say that with me,
00:11:31.051 --> 00:11:31.952
Say that with me, "god is faithful."
00:11:32.018 --> 00:11:34.855
"god is faithful." and church, a faithful god
00:11:34.921 --> 00:11:36.590
And church, a faithful god deserves faithful followers.
00:11:36.656 --> 00:11:39.726
Deserves faithful followers. it's easy to be faithful in
00:11:39.793 --> 00:11:41.728
It's easy to be faithful in believing that god will do what
00:11:41.795 --> 00:11:43.263
Believing that god will do what he said he'll do,
00:11:43.330 --> 00:11:45.031
He said he'll do, but it's much more difficult
00:11:45.098 --> 00:11:46.233
But it's much more difficult to be faithful in your obedience
00:11:46.299 --> 00:11:48.201
To be faithful in your obedience to the god who said it.
00:11:48.268 --> 00:11:51.404
To the god who said it. and here's what he asked us
00:11:51.471 --> 00:11:52.906
And here's what he asked us and called us to do according
00:11:52.973 --> 00:11:54.407
And called us to do according to 1 corinthians 1.
00:11:54.474 --> 00:11:56.710
To 1 corinthians 1. "god is faithful by whom you
00:11:56.777 --> 00:11:58.945
"god is faithful by whom you were called into the fellowship
00:11:59.012 --> 00:12:01.982
Were called into the fellowship of his son."
00:12:02.048 --> 00:12:03.850
Of his son." you were called into fellowship.
00:12:03.917 --> 00:12:08.121
You were called into fellowship. now, i wanna make it very clear
00:12:08.188 --> 00:12:09.356
Now, i wanna make it very clear what this word called means.
00:12:09.422 --> 00:12:11.925
What this word called means. sometimes we take calling
00:12:11.992 --> 00:12:13.560
Sometimes we take calling and we make it this super
00:12:13.627 --> 00:12:15.162
And we make it this super supernatural thing that,
00:12:15.228 --> 00:12:16.329
Supernatural thing that, "ooh, they're called."
00:12:16.396 --> 00:12:18.799
"ooh, they're called." that's not what it means.
00:12:18.865 --> 00:12:20.901
That's not what it means. when you look at the definition
00:12:20.967 --> 00:12:22.469
When you look at the definition of this word in the text,
00:12:22.536 --> 00:12:25.272
Of this word in the text, called, it's like a superior
00:12:25.338 --> 00:12:26.373
Called, it's like a superior officer in the military.
00:12:26.439 --> 00:12:27.941
Officer in the military. how many of you served
00:12:28.008 --> 00:12:28.842
How many of you served in the military?
00:12:28.909 --> 00:12:30.644
In the military? so, if your commanding officer
00:12:30.710 --> 00:12:32.512
So, if your commanding officer called you into his office,
00:12:32.579 --> 00:12:36.116
Called you into his office, was that a supernatural moment?
00:12:36.183 --> 00:12:39.085
Was that a supernatural moment? i mean, it might have been,
00:12:39.152 --> 00:12:39.886
I mean, it might have been, "oh lord, what did i do?"
00:12:39.953 --> 00:12:41.254
[laughter]
00:12:41.755 --> 00:12:43.356
It wasn't a supernatural thing,
00:12:44.257 --> 00:12:45.759
It wasn't a supernatural thing, it was a direct order.
00:12:45.826 --> 00:12:48.228
It was a direct order. and what you're reading here
00:12:48.295 --> 00:12:49.462
And what you're reading here in 1 corinthians is paul
00:12:49.529 --> 00:12:50.997
In 1 corinthians is paul is saying god is faithful
00:12:51.064 --> 00:12:52.566
Is saying god is faithful and he has given you
00:12:52.632 --> 00:12:54.401
And he has given you a direct order
00:12:54.467 --> 00:12:55.502
A direct order into fellowship.
00:12:55.569 --> 00:12:57.204
Into fellowship. he called you by name
00:12:57.270 --> 00:12:59.840
He called you by name and he said,
00:12:59.906 --> 00:13:00.574
And he said, "i want you to join the body,
00:13:00.640 --> 00:13:03.009
"i want you to join the body, and i want you to love them,
00:13:03.076 --> 00:13:05.111
And i want you to love them, and i want you to serve them,
00:13:05.178 --> 00:13:06.980
And i want you to serve them, and i want you
00:13:07.047 --> 00:13:08.114
And i want you to bear their burdens,
00:13:08.181 --> 00:13:09.282
To bear their burdens, and i want you
00:13:09.349 --> 00:13:10.383
And i want you to watch over them."
00:13:10.450 --> 00:13:11.918
To watch over them." and you know what?
00:13:11.985 --> 00:13:12.986
And you know what? they are called to take care of,
00:13:13.053 --> 00:13:15.522
They are called to take care of, watch over, love,
00:13:15.589 --> 00:13:16.723
Watch over, love, and bear your burdens too.
00:13:16.790 --> 00:13:19.392
And bear your burdens too. but none of us
00:13:19.459 --> 00:13:20.093
But none of us get to escape the calling.
00:13:20.160 --> 00:13:22.095
Get to escape the calling. we're all given
00:13:22.162 --> 00:13:22.762
We're all given the same direct order.
00:13:22.829 --> 00:13:25.699
The same direct order. we're called
00:13:25.765 --> 00:13:26.299
We're called into the fellowship
00:13:26.366 --> 00:13:27.067
Into the fellowship of the lord jesus christ.
00:13:27.133 --> 00:13:28.635
Of the lord jesus christ. and then paul pleads
00:13:28.702 --> 00:13:30.170
And then paul pleads with the church
00:13:30.237 --> 00:13:31.571
With the church because he knows that
00:13:31.638 --> 00:13:32.305
Because he knows that if division is there,
00:13:32.372 --> 00:13:33.440
If division is there, then the power of god is gone.
00:13:33.506 --> 00:13:36.042
Then the power of god is gone. when you're called to something,
00:13:36.109 --> 00:13:37.510
When you're called to something, you do it willingly.
00:13:37.577 --> 00:13:39.646
You do it willingly. you make your individual benefit
00:13:39.713 --> 00:13:41.748
You make your individual benefit and contribution to his body.
00:13:41.815 --> 00:13:45.619
And contribution to his body. not only are we called to it,
00:13:45.685 --> 00:13:47.787
Not only are we called to it, but the reason that we
00:13:47.854 --> 00:13:48.622
But the reason that we care for the church is
00:13:48.688 --> 00:13:49.589
Care for the church is because if we love jesus,
00:13:49.656 --> 00:13:51.124
Because if we love jesus, we love what he loves.
00:13:51.191 --> 00:13:54.194
We love what he loves. this is what jesus said
00:13:54.261 --> 00:13:55.195
This is what jesus said to peter in john 21.
00:13:55.262 --> 00:13:56.997
To peter in john 21. he said,
00:13:57.063 --> 00:13:57.564
He said, "peter, do you love me?"
00:13:57.631 --> 00:13:58.899
"peter, do you love me?" peter said,
00:13:58.965 --> 00:13:59.466
Peter said, "lord, you know i do."
00:13:59.532 --> 00:14:01.034
"lord, you know i do." and he said,
00:14:01.101 --> 00:14:01.568
And he said, "feed my lambs.
00:14:01.635 --> 00:14:03.169
"feed my lambs. peter, do you love me?"
00:14:03.236 --> 00:14:04.104
Peter, do you love me?" "lord, you know i do."
00:14:04.170 --> 00:14:05.238
"lord, you know i do." "tend to my sheep.
00:14:05.305 --> 00:14:06.206
"tend to my sheep. peter, do you love me?"
00:14:06.273 --> 00:14:07.307
Peter, do you love me?" "you know i do."
00:14:07.374 --> 00:14:08.174
"you know i do." "then feed my sheep."
00:14:08.241 --> 00:14:11.077
"then feed my sheep." if you love jesus,
00:14:11.144 --> 00:14:12.746
If you love jesus, you care for what
00:14:12.812 --> 00:14:13.613
You care for what jesus cares for,
00:14:13.680 --> 00:14:15.715
Jesus cares for, and he cares for his church.
00:14:15.782 --> 00:14:18.518
And he cares for his church. when we do this,
00:14:18.585 --> 00:14:20.754
When we do this, we come together in fellowship.
00:14:20.820 --> 00:14:23.290
We come together in fellowship. when we don't do this,
00:14:23.356 --> 00:14:25.292
When we don't do this, we make divisions,
00:14:25.358 --> 00:14:26.760
We make divisions, and it's a great divide.
00:14:26.826 --> 00:14:28.995
And it's a great divide. what does the bible have
00:14:29.062 --> 00:14:29.863
What does the bible have to say about divisive people?
00:14:29.930 --> 00:14:32.799
To say about divisive people? look at titus 3:9.
00:14:32.866 --> 00:14:37.037
Look at titus 3:9. first we get this warning,
00:14:37.103 --> 00:14:38.705
First we get this warning, "avoid foolish disputes
00:14:38.772 --> 00:14:41.975
"avoid foolish disputes for they are unprofitable."
00:14:42.042 --> 00:14:44.811
For they are unprofitable." let's put that verse up
00:14:44.878 --> 00:14:45.612
Let's put that verse up on the board,
00:14:45.679 --> 00:14:46.212
On the board, titus 3:9.
00:14:46.279 --> 00:14:48.148
Titus 3:9. "avoid foolish disputes,"
00:14:48.214 --> 00:14:50.183
"avoid foolish disputes," and then it lists some of them:
00:14:50.250 --> 00:14:51.484
And then it lists some of them: "genealogies, contentions,
00:14:51.551 --> 00:14:53.253
"genealogies, contentions, and strivings about the law."
00:14:53.320 --> 00:14:54.654
And strivings about the law." but read the last line,
00:14:54.721 --> 00:14:55.689
But read the last line, "for they are unprofitable
00:14:55.755 --> 00:14:58.458
"for they are unprofitable and useless."
00:14:58.525 --> 00:15:00.327
And useless." how often do we as christians
00:15:00.393 --> 00:15:02.262
How often do we as christians engage in unprofitable
00:15:02.329 --> 00:15:04.197
Engage in unprofitable and useless things?
00:15:04.264 --> 00:15:06.566
And useless things? the reason why we get this
00:15:06.633 --> 00:15:07.467
The reason why we get this warning is because the divided
00:15:07.534 --> 00:15:09.069
Warning is because the divided world we live in makes
00:15:09.135 --> 00:15:10.203
World we live in makes it really easy to get involved
00:15:10.270 --> 00:15:12.372
It really easy to get involved in unprofitable
00:15:12.439 --> 00:15:13.306
In unprofitable and useless disputes.
00:15:13.373 --> 00:15:15.875
And useless disputes. all you've gotta do is check
00:15:15.942 --> 00:15:17.310
All you've gotta do is check your social media feed
00:15:17.377 --> 00:15:18.812
Your social media feed and there are people
00:15:18.878 --> 00:15:19.579
And there are people just baiting you,
00:15:19.646 --> 00:15:20.647
Just baiting you, and baiting you,
00:15:20.714 --> 00:15:21.748
And baiting you, and baiting you
00:15:21.815 --> 00:15:22.816
And baiting you into an unprofitable
00:15:22.882 --> 00:15:24.117
Into an unprofitable and useless dispute.
00:15:24.184 --> 00:15:26.686
And useless dispute. but within the body of christ,
00:15:26.753 --> 00:15:27.887
But within the body of christ, we go further.
00:15:27.954 --> 00:15:28.755
We go further. it says,
00:15:28.822 --> 00:15:29.356
It says, "reject a divisive man."
00:15:29.422 --> 00:15:32.759
"reject a divisive man." anyone who meddles
00:15:32.826 --> 00:15:34.394
Anyone who meddles in division,
00:15:34.461 --> 00:15:35.362
In division, anyone who's
00:15:35.428 --> 00:15:36.062
Anyone who's constantly saying,
00:15:36.129 --> 00:15:36.896
Constantly saying, "well, what do you
00:15:36.963 --> 00:15:37.497
"well, what do you think about this?
00:15:37.564 --> 00:15:38.365
Think about this? you know, i don't think that's
00:15:38.431 --> 00:15:39.299
You know, i don't think that's right, in jesus' name."
00:15:39.366 --> 00:15:42.335
[laughter]
00:15:42.769 --> 00:15:44.437
They're doing the devil's
00:15:45.338 --> 00:15:46.373
They're doing the devil's work in jesus' name.
00:15:46.439 --> 00:15:49.409
Work in jesus' name. and it says after the first
00:15:49.476 --> 00:15:51.044
And it says after the first and the second admonition,
00:15:51.111 --> 00:15:52.412
And the second admonition, meaning the first time
00:15:52.479 --> 00:15:53.580
Meaning the first time they try to divide,
00:15:53.646 --> 00:15:54.647
They try to divide, warn them,
00:15:54.714 --> 00:15:55.515
Warn them, "hey, don't do that."
00:15:55.582 --> 00:15:57.350
"hey, don't do that." and then the second
00:15:57.417 --> 00:15:58.018
And then the second time if they proceed,
00:15:58.084 --> 00:15:59.386
Time if they proceed, warn them a little stronger.
00:15:59.452 --> 00:16:00.954
Warn them a little stronger. look at 'em and say, "stop it."
00:16:01.021 --> 00:16:03.823
Look at 'em and say, "stop it." but then the third time,
00:16:03.890 --> 00:16:05.025
But then the third time, put 'em out.
00:16:05.091 --> 00:16:06.826
Put 'em out. reject 'em.
00:16:06.893 --> 00:16:08.461
Reject 'em. and the bible says the reason
00:16:08.528 --> 00:16:09.496
And the bible says the reason you reject a divisive person
00:16:09.562 --> 00:16:11.197
You reject a divisive person is because they're warped.
00:16:11.264 --> 00:16:14.367
Is because they're warped. i wouldn't call you warped,
00:16:14.434 --> 00:16:15.769
I wouldn't call you warped, the holy spirit
00:16:15.835 --> 00:16:16.469
The holy spirit called you warped.
00:16:16.536 --> 00:16:19.372
Called you warped. and they're sinning because
00:16:19.439 --> 00:16:21.674
And they're sinning because they are self-condemned.
00:16:21.741 --> 00:16:24.944
They are self-condemned. it's a very powerful picture,
00:16:25.011 --> 00:16:26.279
It's a very powerful picture, but if you think about it,
00:16:26.346 --> 00:16:27.380
But if you think about it, knowing what we receive in
00:16:27.447 --> 00:16:29.115
Knowing what we receive in the fellowship of the faith,
00:16:29.182 --> 00:16:30.617
The fellowship of the faith, someone who does not
00:16:30.683 --> 00:16:31.951
Someone who does not want us to be united
00:16:32.018 --> 00:16:33.319
Want us to be united is indeed warped.
00:16:33.386 --> 00:16:35.622
[applause]
00:16:36.322 --> 00:16:43.096
So what do we do?
00:16:43.530 --> 00:16:45.498
So what do we do? how do we respond?
00:16:45.565 --> 00:16:47.434
How do we respond? how do we live in our calling?
00:16:47.500 --> 00:16:49.836
How do we live in our calling? ephesians 4:25 gives us this
00:16:49.903 --> 00:16:52.005
Ephesians 4:25 gives us this prescription for fellowship.
00:16:52.072 --> 00:16:54.674
Prescription for fellowship. it starts by saying,
00:16:54.741 --> 00:16:55.875
It starts by saying, "put away lying."
00:16:55.942 --> 00:16:58.378
"put away lying." now imagine that,
00:16:58.445 --> 00:16:59.245
Now imagine that, christians not lying
00:16:59.312 --> 00:17:01.014
Christians not lying to each other.
00:17:01.081 --> 00:17:04.284
To each other. but honestly,
00:17:04.350 --> 00:17:05.318
But honestly, ask yourself how often
00:17:05.385 --> 00:17:07.020
Ask yourself how often do you speak less than
00:17:07.087 --> 00:17:08.855
Do you speak less than truth to your brothers
00:17:08.922 --> 00:17:10.957
Truth to your brothers and sisters in christ?
00:17:11.024 --> 00:17:12.692
And sisters in christ? it says,
00:17:12.759 --> 00:17:13.460
It says, "let each one of you speak
00:17:13.526 --> 00:17:14.494
"let each one of you speak truth with his neighbor
00:17:14.561 --> 00:17:15.762
Truth with his neighbor for we are members
00:17:15.829 --> 00:17:17.197
For we are members of one another."
00:17:17.263 --> 00:17:17.931
Of one another." what does that mean?
00:17:17.997 --> 00:17:18.565
What does that mean? that doesn't mean that whenever
00:17:18.631 --> 00:17:19.833
That doesn't mean that whenever you talk to me,
00:17:19.899 --> 00:17:20.667
You talk to me, i'm just telling you
00:17:20.733 --> 00:17:21.468
I'm just telling you a bucket full of lies,
00:17:21.534 --> 00:17:22.635
A bucket full of lies, but that means that
00:17:22.702 --> 00:17:23.336
But that means that when you ask me,
00:17:23.403 --> 00:17:24.471
When you ask me, "how are you doing?"
00:17:24.537 --> 00:17:25.438
"how are you doing?" and i look at you and go,
00:17:25.505 --> 00:17:26.306
And i look at you and go, "blessed and highly favored,"
00:17:26.372 --> 00:17:30.176
"blessed and highly favored," but that's not true,
00:17:30.243 --> 00:17:33.213
But that's not true, i'm not walking in
00:17:33.279 --> 00:17:34.447
I'm not walking in that blessed life,
00:17:34.514 --> 00:17:35.181
That blessed life, i've had a tough week.
00:17:35.248 --> 00:17:37.150
I've had a tough week. i went to the doctor --
00:17:37.217 --> 00:17:38.051
I went to the doctor -- now this is just hypothetical.
00:17:38.118 --> 00:17:39.152
Now this is just hypothetical. don't write this down and say,
00:17:39.219 --> 00:17:40.086
Don't write this down and say, "pastor matt's
00:17:40.153 --> 00:17:40.720
"pastor matt's confessing everything."
00:17:40.787 --> 00:17:41.788
[laughter]
00:17:42.122 --> 00:17:43.590
I go to the doctor
00:17:43.756 --> 00:17:44.591
I go to the doctor and i get a diagnosis,
00:17:44.657 --> 00:17:45.692
And i get a diagnosis, or i go to work
00:17:45.758 --> 00:17:46.826
Or i go to work and they say that there's
00:17:46.893 --> 00:17:47.594
And they say that there's gonna be cutbacks
00:17:47.660 --> 00:17:48.561
Gonna be cutbacks or something is going on,
00:17:48.628 --> 00:17:49.796
Or something is going on, i've got a burden but i don't
00:17:49.863 --> 00:17:51.297
I've got a burden but i don't want to share the burden
00:17:51.364 --> 00:17:52.665
Want to share the burden and i'm not gonna share
00:17:52.732 --> 00:17:53.633
And i'm not gonna share it with you,
00:17:53.700 --> 00:17:54.834
It with you, guess what i'm doing?
00:17:54.901 --> 00:17:56.803
Guess what i'm doing? i'm not being honest.
00:17:56.870 --> 00:17:59.305
I'm not being honest. so it says,
00:17:59.372 --> 00:17:59.772
So it says, "put off lying."
00:17:59.839 --> 00:18:01.574
"put off lying." be honest with one another
00:18:01.641 --> 00:18:02.842
Be honest with one another for you are members
00:18:02.909 --> 00:18:04.210
For you are members of one another.
00:18:04.277 --> 00:18:06.279
Of one another. be honest about your struggles.
00:18:06.346 --> 00:18:09.549
Be honest about your struggles. be honest about your fear.
00:18:09.616 --> 00:18:11.618
Be honest about your fear. be honest about your needs
00:18:11.684 --> 00:18:13.153
Be honest about your needs and your weakness.
00:18:13.219 --> 00:18:14.787
And your weakness. and when you
00:18:14.854 --> 00:18:15.221
And when you read ephesians 4:15,
00:18:15.288 --> 00:18:16.623
Read ephesians 4:15, it says that whenever
00:18:16.689 --> 00:18:17.390
It says that whenever you share this truth,
00:18:17.457 --> 00:18:19.325
You share this truth, do it in love.
00:18:19.392 --> 00:18:21.528
Do it in love. why?
00:18:21.594 --> 00:18:22.996
Why? because according
00:18:23.062 --> 00:18:23.663
Because according to 1 peter 4:8,
00:18:23.730 --> 00:18:25.532
To 1 peter 4:8, love covers a multitude
00:18:25.598 --> 00:18:27.167
Love covers a multitude of sins.
00:18:27.233 --> 00:18:29.068
Of sins. it doesn't matter what
00:18:29.135 --> 00:18:29.903
It doesn't matter what you've done,
00:18:29.969 --> 00:18:30.470
You've done, as long as you share it
00:18:30.537 --> 00:18:31.604
As long as you share it with those who love you
00:18:31.671 --> 00:18:32.772
With those who love you with the love of the lord.
00:18:32.839 --> 00:18:35.008
With the love of the lord. when you tell the truth in love,
00:18:35.074 --> 00:18:36.876
When you tell the truth in love, the next verse to me is a little
00:18:36.943 --> 00:18:38.111
The next verse to me is a little bit humorous because in
00:18:38.178 --> 00:18:40.079
Bit humorous because in ephesians 4:26, it says,
00:18:40.146 --> 00:18:42.615
Ephesians 4:26, it says, "be angry and do not sin."
00:18:42.682 --> 00:18:46.519
"be angry and do not sin." now, verse 25 says,
00:18:46.586 --> 00:18:49.022
Now, verse 25 says, "tell the truth."
00:18:49.088 --> 00:18:50.490
"tell the truth." verse 26 tells us when you
00:18:50.557 --> 00:18:52.659
Verse 26 tells us when you hear the truth,
00:18:52.725 --> 00:18:53.293
Hear the truth, some of you are gonna
00:18:53.359 --> 00:18:54.027
Some of you are gonna get ticked off.
00:18:54.093 --> 00:18:56.563
Get ticked off. paul knew church people.
00:18:56.629 --> 00:18:59.666
Paul knew church people. he knew that if you got
00:18:59.732 --> 00:19:00.833
He knew that if you got the cold hard truth,
00:19:00.900 --> 00:19:02.168
The cold hard truth, it might not go down
00:19:02.235 --> 00:19:03.269
It might not go down as easy as you'd like.
00:19:03.336 --> 00:19:06.172
As easy as you'd like. "tell me what i want,
00:19:06.239 --> 00:19:07.140
"tell me what i want, don't me what i need."
00:19:07.207 --> 00:19:09.409
Don't me what i need." have you ever heard the truth
00:19:09.475 --> 00:19:10.443
Have you ever heard the truth and been irritated?
00:19:10.510 --> 00:19:13.580
And been irritated? you got to the doctor
00:19:13.646 --> 00:19:15.448
You got to the doctor and he tells you the truth,
00:19:15.515 --> 00:19:17.884
And he tells you the truth, do you send him flowers?
00:19:17.951 --> 00:19:20.987
Do you send him flowers? no, you frown at him.
00:19:21.054 --> 00:19:23.690
No, you frown at him. "what do you mean
00:19:23.756 --> 00:19:24.257
"what do you mean i've gained weight?
00:19:24.324 --> 00:19:25.058
[laughter]
00:19:25.792 --> 00:19:26.926
Twenty five pounds
00:19:27.794 --> 00:19:28.695
Twenty five pounds in six months is no big deal.
00:19:28.761 --> 00:19:30.263
[laughter]
00:19:31.197 --> 00:19:31.831
Why?
00:19:34.100 --> 00:19:34.267
Why? because the truth
00:19:34.334 --> 00:19:35.001
Because the truth is bothering you.
00:19:35.068 --> 00:19:37.003
Is bothering you. and paul knew that if christians
00:19:37.070 --> 00:19:38.338
And paul knew that if christians were gonna be honest
00:19:38.404 --> 00:19:39.038
Were gonna be honest with each other,
00:19:39.105 --> 00:19:39.672
With each other, some of the truths that
00:19:39.739 --> 00:19:40.540
Some of the truths that they were gonna share were
00:19:40.607 --> 00:19:41.908
They were gonna share were gonna create conflict.
00:19:41.975 --> 00:19:43.076
Gonna create conflict. when you get into relationships,
00:19:43.142 --> 00:19:45.245
When you get into relationships, conflicts arise,
00:19:45.311 --> 00:19:46.713
Conflicts arise, and every married person said.
00:19:46.779 --> 00:19:48.848
I heard more women
00:19:50.316 --> 00:19:51.150
I heard more women than i did men,
00:19:51.217 --> 00:19:51.985
Than i did men, but we'll work on that.
00:19:52.051 --> 00:19:55.822
But we'll work on that. but paul said if we're gonna
00:19:55.888 --> 00:19:56.656
But paul said if we're gonna stay in fellowship,
00:19:56.723 --> 00:19:57.590
Stay in fellowship, it's okay to get angry.
00:19:57.657 --> 00:20:00.126
It's okay to get angry. he said,
00:20:00.193 --> 00:20:00.760
He said, "be angry and do not sin."
00:20:00.827 --> 00:20:02.662
"be angry and do not sin." why?
00:20:02.729 --> 00:20:03.129
Why? because anger is a feeling.
00:20:03.196 --> 00:20:06.599
Because anger is a feeling. and then he said,
00:20:06.666 --> 00:20:07.567
And then he said, "do not let the sun
00:20:07.634 --> 00:20:08.501
"do not let the sun go down on your anger."
00:20:08.568 --> 00:20:09.969
Go down on your anger." what does that mean?
00:20:10.036 --> 00:20:11.871
What does that mean? it means that in a brief period
00:20:11.938 --> 00:20:14.374
It means that in a brief period of time,
00:20:14.440 --> 00:20:15.041
Of time, resolve the matter.
00:20:15.108 --> 00:20:17.310
Resolve the matter. it doesn't necessarily mean
00:20:17.377 --> 00:20:18.478
It doesn't necessarily mean a 24-hour period.
00:20:18.544 --> 00:20:20.079
A 24-hour period. maybe you need a little cool off
00:20:20.146 --> 00:20:21.581
Maybe you need a little cool off before you start to address it,
00:20:21.648 --> 00:20:23.316
Before you start to address it, but over a period of time
00:20:23.383 --> 00:20:25.285
But over a period of time in a short term,
00:20:25.351 --> 00:20:26.419
In a short term, solve the matter.
00:20:26.486 --> 00:20:27.120
Solve the matter. why?
00:20:27.186 --> 00:20:27.553
Why? because if you don't solve
00:20:27.620 --> 00:20:28.421
Because if you don't solve that matter,
00:20:28.488 --> 00:20:29.355
That matter, it will get stacked
00:20:29.422 --> 00:20:30.156
It will get stacked on another matter,
00:20:30.223 --> 00:20:31.090
On another matter, and stacked on another matter,
00:20:31.157 --> 00:20:32.225
And stacked on another matter, and stacked on another matter,
00:20:32.292 --> 00:20:33.459
And stacked on another matter, and then after
00:20:33.526 --> 00:20:33.993
And then after 15 years of holding
00:20:34.060 --> 00:20:35.461
15 years of holding all of it in, kaboom!
00:20:35.528 --> 00:20:41.234
All of it in, kaboom! and that's when it becomes sin,
00:20:41.301 --> 00:20:44.170
And that's when it becomes sin, when it blows up,
00:20:44.237 --> 00:20:46.105
When it blows up, because you allowed anger
00:20:46.172 --> 00:20:47.407
Because you allowed anger to stay and you
00:20:47.473 --> 00:20:48.608
To stay and you gave place to wrath.
00:20:48.675 --> 00:20:50.710
Gave place to wrath. anger is a feeling,
00:20:50.777 --> 00:20:51.711
Anger is a feeling, wrath is an action.
00:20:51.778 --> 00:20:54.013
Wrath is an action. and when you act in anger,
00:20:54.080 --> 00:20:56.149
And when you act in anger, you're wrong.
00:20:56.215 --> 00:20:58.685
You're wrong. so, paul continues
00:20:58.751 --> 00:20:59.952
So, paul continues with this prescription for sin.
00:21:00.019 --> 00:21:01.354
With this prescription for sin. he tells us to tell
00:21:01.421 --> 00:21:01.988
He tells us to tell the truth to each other.
00:21:02.055 --> 00:21:02.955
The truth to each other. he says,
00:21:03.022 --> 00:21:03.456
He says, "if you have a conflict,
00:21:03.523 --> 00:21:04.757
"if you have a conflict, resolve it."
00:21:04.824 --> 00:21:06.492
Resolve it." and then he gets down
00:21:06.559 --> 00:21:07.560
And then he gets down to the meat of the matter
00:21:07.627 --> 00:21:08.828
To the meat of the matter in verse 31 and 32.
00:21:08.895 --> 00:21:11.864
In verse 31 and 32. he says, "let all bitterness,
00:21:11.931 --> 00:21:12.965
He says, "let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger,
00:21:13.032 --> 00:21:14.000
And wrath, and anger, and clamour,
00:21:14.067 --> 00:21:14.867
And clamour, evil speaking be put away
00:21:14.934 --> 00:21:16.302
Evil speaking be put away from you with all malice."
00:21:16.369 --> 00:21:18.938
From you with all malice." and then in verse 32,
00:21:19.005 --> 00:21:20.707
And then in verse 32, he hits the nail on the head,
00:21:20.773 --> 00:21:23.176
He hits the nail on the head, "be kind to one another."
00:21:23.242 --> 00:21:27.347
"be kind to one another." say that with me,
00:21:27.413 --> 00:21:28.648
Say that with me, "be kind to one another,
00:21:28.715 --> 00:21:31.818
"be kind to one another, forgiving one another even
00:21:31.884 --> 00:21:35.421
Forgiving one another even as christ forgave you."
00:21:35.488 --> 00:21:40.760
As christ forgave you." when you treat others
00:21:40.827 --> 00:21:41.928
When you treat others like jesus treated you,
00:21:41.994 --> 00:21:43.996
Like jesus treated you, it's easy
00:21:44.063 --> 00:21:45.531
It's easy to be in fellowship.
00:21:45.598 --> 00:21:48.434
To be in fellowship. it's easy to be in fellowship.

With forgiveness. when we do that,
00:22:04.016 --> 00:22:05.251

We have got to overcome the great divide.
00:22:24.370 --> 00:22:26.773
The great divide. and it's not great because
00:22:26.839 --> 00:22:28.274
And it's not great because of how big a deal it is,
00:22:28.341 --> 00:22:30.576
Of how big a deal it is, it's great because
00:22:30.643 --> 00:22:31.477
It's great because of how much it costs us.
00:22:31.544 --> 00:22:34.714
Of how much it costs us. we've got to overcome
00:22:34.781 --> 00:22:35.882
We've got to overcome the great divide because
00:22:35.948 --> 00:22:37.083
The great divide because that's when the power
00:22:37.150 --> 00:22:38.184
That's when the power of god and his presence
00:22:38.251 --> 00:22:40.019
Of god and his presence comes into his house.
00:22:40.086 --> 00:22:42.755
Comes into his house. but we've also got to overcome
00:22:42.822 --> 00:22:44.023
But we've also got to overcome the great divide because
00:22:44.090 --> 00:22:46.058
The great divide because when you look at this graphic,
00:22:46.125 --> 00:22:49.095
When you look at this graphic, every one of us is
00:22:49.162 --> 00:22:51.197
Every one of us is climbing a mountain.
00:22:51.264 --> 00:22:53.566
Climbing a mountain. every one of us is seeking
00:22:53.633 --> 00:22:55.668
Every one of us is seeking to get to the top.
00:22:55.735 --> 00:22:57.737
To get to the top. maybe you're climbing a mountain
00:22:57.804 --> 00:22:59.071
Maybe you're climbing a mountain in your family and you're trying
00:22:59.138 --> 00:23:00.840
In your family and you're trying to figure out how
00:23:00.907 --> 00:23:01.641
To figure out how to parent teenagers.
00:23:01.707 --> 00:23:04.377
To parent teenagers. maybe you're climbing a mountain
00:23:04.444 --> 00:23:05.478
Maybe you're climbing a mountain in your business and you're
00:23:05.545 --> 00:23:06.679
In your business and you're trying to navigate
00:23:06.746 --> 00:23:07.480
Trying to navigate a path to success.
00:23:07.547 --> 00:23:08.514
A path to success. maybe you're climbing a mountain
00:23:08.581 --> 00:23:09.816
Maybe you're climbing a mountain in your emotions and you wanna
00:23:09.882 --> 00:23:11.417
In your emotions and you wanna know how to get through
00:23:11.484 --> 00:23:12.452
Know how to get through the storm you're in.
00:23:12.518 --> 00:23:13.419
The storm you're in. maybe you're climbing
00:23:13.486 --> 00:23:14.587
Maybe you're climbing a mountain in your physical
00:23:14.654 --> 00:23:15.288
A mountain in your physical body and you need
00:23:15.354 --> 00:23:16.389
Body and you need some encouragement.
00:23:16.456 --> 00:23:18.591
Some encouragement. the thing about mountain
00:23:18.658 --> 00:23:19.559
The thing about mountain climbing is it doesn't matter
00:23:19.625 --> 00:23:20.760
Climbing is it doesn't matter how big the hill,
00:23:20.827 --> 00:23:21.694
How big the hill, if you climb alone and you fall,
00:23:21.761 --> 00:23:23.896
If you climb alone and you fall, you'll get to the bottom
00:23:23.963 --> 00:23:25.064
You'll get to the bottom but you won't get to the top.
00:23:25.131 --> 00:23:27.767
But you won't get to the top. but if you climb in fellowship,
00:23:27.834 --> 00:23:29.368
But if you climb in fellowship, whenever you fall,
00:23:29.435 --> 00:23:30.470
Whenever you fall, somebody will pick you up.
00:23:30.536 --> 00:23:32.772
Somebody will pick you up. and when you look
00:23:32.839 --> 00:23:33.439
And when you look at this picture,
00:23:33.506 --> 00:23:34.140
At this picture, what you see
00:23:34.207 --> 00:23:35.007
What you see are three generations.
00:23:35.074 --> 00:23:36.809
Are three generations. you see an older
00:23:36.876 --> 00:23:37.677
You see an older generation pointing the way
00:23:37.743 --> 00:23:40.947
Generation pointing the way because trust me,
00:23:41.013 --> 00:23:41.948
Because trust me, somebody has climbed
00:23:42.014 --> 00:23:43.449
Somebody has climbed the same mountain you're on,
00:23:43.516 --> 00:23:45.017
The same mountain you're on, and if you will ask them
00:23:45.084 --> 00:23:46.786
And if you will ask them and you're in
00:23:46.853 --> 00:23:47.420
And you're in fellowship with them,
00:23:47.487 --> 00:23:48.454
Fellowship with them, they'll tell you the path
00:23:48.521 --> 00:23:49.489
They'll tell you the path they took to get there.
00:23:49.555 --> 00:23:51.724
They took to get there. but not only do you need
00:23:51.791 --> 00:23:52.825
But not only do you need someone to point the way,
00:23:52.892 --> 00:23:54.193
Someone to point the way, you also need somebody
00:23:54.260 --> 00:23:55.862
You also need somebody that you can show how to climb.
00:23:55.928 --> 00:23:58.831
That you can show how to climb. here at cornerstone,
00:23:58.898 --> 00:23:59.899
Here at cornerstone, we're blessed because
00:23:59.966 --> 00:24:01.133
We're blessed because we've got multiple generations
00:24:01.200 --> 00:24:02.869
We've got multiple generations in one house,
00:24:02.935 --> 00:24:03.970
In one house, in one fellowship.
00:24:04.036 --> 00:24:05.238
In one fellowship. which means that
00:24:05.304 --> 00:24:06.205
Which means that when i don't know,
00:24:06.272 --> 00:24:07.473
When i don't know, i can reach up and ask a guide,
00:24:07.540 --> 00:24:09.909
I can reach up and ask a guide, and when he's guiding me,
00:24:09.976 --> 00:24:11.410
And when he's guiding me, i know that i'm taking
00:24:11.477 --> 00:24:12.578
I know that i'm taking the right steps,
00:24:12.645 --> 00:24:13.513
The right steps, but i'm also bringing my next
00:24:13.579 --> 00:24:15.181
But i'm also bringing my next generation along so that they
00:24:15.248 --> 00:24:16.949
Generation along so that they are confident and not confused,
00:24:17.016 --> 00:24:19.285
Are confident and not confused, they're overcoming
00:24:19.352 --> 00:24:20.319
They're overcoming and not overwhelmed.
