  • [applause]
  • 00:01:27.871 --> 00:01:32.142
  • If you could tell
  • 00:01:33.343 --> 00:01:34.010
  • If you could tell of all the things that god
  • 00:01:34.077 --> 00:01:35.178
  • Of all the things that god was able to do in every language
  • 00:01:35.245 --> 00:01:37.280
  • Was able to do in every language using every word
  • 00:01:37.347 --> 00:01:38.481
  • Using every word that was possible,
  • 00:01:38.548 --> 00:01:39.449
  • That was possible, you still couldn't say
  • 00:01:39.516 --> 00:01:40.683
  • You still couldn't say enough because
  • 00:01:40.750 --> 00:01:43.052
  • Enough because the verse doesn't say that,
  • 00:01:43.119 --> 00:01:44.053
  • The verse doesn't say that, "our god is able,"
  • 00:01:44.120 --> 00:01:45.121
  • "our god is able," and then it limits him.
  • 00:01:45.188 --> 00:01:46.589
  • And then it limits him. it says that,
  • 00:01:46.656 --> 00:01:47.223
  • It says that, "our god is able
  • 00:01:47.290 --> 00:01:48.358
  • "our god is able to do exceedingly."
  • 00:01:48.424 --> 00:01:50.894
  • To do exceedingly." that means that whatever
  • 00:01:50.960 --> 00:01:51.628
  • That means that whatever you think he's able to do,
  • 00:01:51.694 --> 00:01:52.962
  • You think he's able to do, he's already past that.
  • 00:01:53.029 --> 00:01:56.566
  • He's already past that. and whenever it comes
  • 00:01:56.633 --> 00:01:57.367
  • And whenever it comes to the things that he
  • 00:01:57.433 --> 00:01:58.134
  • To the things that he can bring into your life,
  • 00:01:58.201 --> 00:01:59.936
  • Can bring into your life, it doesn't say that he can
  • 00:02:00.003 --> 00:02:01.104
  • It doesn't say that he can only bring so much
  • 00:02:01.171 --> 00:02:02.005
  • Only bring so much and then that's enough,
  • 00:02:02.071 --> 00:02:03.139
  • And then that's enough, it says that when it comes
  • 00:02:03.206 --> 00:02:04.107
  • It says that when it comes to what he can bring
  • 00:02:04.174 --> 00:02:04.908
  • To what he can bring into your life,
  • 00:02:04.974 --> 00:02:05.808
  • Into your life, it's not just enough,
  • 00:02:05.875 --> 00:02:07.744
  • It's not just enough, it's abundantly.
  • 00:02:07.810 --> 00:02:09.879
  • It's abundantly. that means everything
  • 00:02:09.946 --> 00:02:10.713
  • That means everything that you think he has for you,
  • 00:02:10.780 --> 00:02:12.682
  • That you think he has for you, it's that and so much more.
  • 00:02:12.749 --> 00:02:16.219
  • It's that and so much more. however, for all of the things
  • 00:02:16.286 --> 00:02:19.022
  • However, for all of the things that god is exceedingly
  • 00:02:19.088 --> 00:02:20.390
  • That god is exceedingly and abundantly able to do,
  • 00:02:20.456 --> 00:02:22.525
  • And abundantly able to do, he does not do them unless
  • 00:02:22.592 --> 00:02:24.327
  • He does not do them unless you are in the equation
  • 00:02:24.394 --> 00:02:28.298
  • You are in the equation because verse 21 tells us
  • 00:02:28.364 --> 00:02:29.299
  • Because verse 21 tells us very clearly how
  • 00:02:29.365 --> 00:02:31.768
  • Very clearly how he chooses to pour
  • 00:02:31.834 --> 00:02:33.636
  • He chooses to pour out this glory.
  • 00:02:33.703 --> 00:02:35.738
  • Out this glory. it says, "to him be glory
  • 00:02:35.805 --> 00:02:38.174
  • It says, "to him be glory in the church."
  • 00:02:38.241 --> 00:02:40.376
  • In the church." say that with me,
  • 00:02:40.443 --> 00:02:41.244
  • Say that with me, "to him be glory in the church."
  • 00:02:41.311 --> 00:02:45.415
  • "to him be glory in the church." that means that when
  • 00:02:45.481 --> 00:02:46.316
  • That means that when god is going to do exceedingly
  • 00:02:46.382 --> 00:02:47.784
  • God is going to do exceedingly and abundantly,
  • 00:02:47.850 --> 00:02:48.918
  • And abundantly, he's going to do it through
  • 00:02:48.985 --> 00:02:50.587
  • He's going to do it through the church that he created.
  • 00:02:50.653 --> 00:02:53.223
  • The church that he created. and he's not just
  • 00:02:53.289 --> 00:02:53.823
  • And he's not just gonna do it once,
  • 00:02:53.890 --> 00:02:54.924
  • Gonna do it once, the verse tells us clearly
  • 00:02:54.991 --> 00:02:56.092
  • The verse tells us clearly he's going to do it
  • 00:02:56.159 --> 00:02:57.260
  • He's going to do it in all generations.
  • 00:02:57.327 --> 00:03:01.564
  • In all generations. is our god all sufficient?
  • 00:03:01.631 --> 00:03:02.999
  • Is our god all sufficient? without a question.
  • 00:03:03.066 --> 00:03:04.734
  • Without a question. he doesn't need anyone
  • 00:03:04.801 --> 00:03:05.902
  • He doesn't need anyone for anything,
  • 00:03:05.969 --> 00:03:07.136
  • For anything, but he chooses us.
  • 00:03:07.203 --> 00:03:10.440
  • But he chooses us. the verse very carefully
  • 00:03:10.506 --> 00:03:11.074
  • The verse very carefully tells us,
  • 00:03:11.140 --> 00:03:12.308
  • Tells us, "to him be glory."
  • 00:03:12.375 --> 00:03:15.378
  • "to him be glory." everything that the church does
  • 00:03:15.445 --> 00:03:17.413
  • Everything that the church does should be for the purpose
  • 00:03:17.480 --> 00:03:18.615
  • Should be for the purpose of bringing god glory.
  • 00:03:18.681 --> 00:03:23.119
  • Of bringing god glory. and then it says,
  • 00:03:23.186 --> 00:03:23.720
  • And then it says, "in all generations."
  • 00:03:23.786 --> 00:03:26.956
  • "in all generations." that means that god
  • 00:03:27.023 --> 00:03:28.224
  • That means that god has a plan
  • 00:03:28.291 --> 00:03:29.359
  • Has a plan for the next generation.
  • 00:03:29.425 --> 00:03:31.828

  • 00:05:12.829 --> 00:05:15.198
  • Are we willing? because god's ability
  • 00:05:15.264 --> 00:05:17.200
  • Because god's ability to do exceedingly and abundantly
  • 00:05:17.266 --> 00:05:19.268
  • To do exceedingly and abundantly is based upon our availability
  • 00:05:19.335 --> 00:05:21.404
  • Is based upon our availability to do the work.
  • 00:05:21.471 --> 00:05:23.639
  • To do the work. god wants to do it through us.
  • 00:05:23.706 --> 00:05:27.410
  • God wants to do it through us. in the first message,
  • 00:05:27.477 --> 00:05:28.244
  • In the first message, we looked at paul's pleading
  • 00:05:28.311 --> 00:05:29.612
  • We looked at paul's pleading with the church.
  • 00:05:29.679 --> 00:05:30.113
  • With the church. he said,
  • 00:05:30.179 --> 00:05:30.513
  • He said, "brothers, i beseech you.
  • 00:05:30.580 --> 00:05:31.848
  • "brothers, i beseech you. lay your life down."
  • 00:05:31.914 --> 00:05:35.518
  • Lay your life down." it's a reasonable service.
  • 00:05:35.585 --> 00:05:38.020
  • It's a reasonable service. and then in the rest
  • 00:05:38.087 --> 00:05:39.455
  • And then in the rest of the chapter,
  • 00:05:39.522 --> 00:05:39.956
  • Of the chapter, he tells us what a life
  • 00:05:40.022 --> 00:05:41.290
  • He tells us what a life that has been laid
  • 00:05:41.357 --> 00:05:42.024
  • That has been laid down looks like.
  • 00:05:42.091 --> 00:05:44.827
  • Down looks like. he tells us that the life
  • 00:05:44.894 --> 00:05:45.828
  • He tells us that the life that is laid down
  • 00:05:45.895 --> 00:05:46.729
  • That is laid down is willing to serve
  • 00:05:46.796 --> 00:05:48.765
  • Is willing to serve and willing to serve
  • 00:05:48.831 --> 00:05:49.766
  • And willing to serve in what brings glory to god,
  • 00:05:49.832 --> 00:05:52.735
  • In what brings glory to god, not what brings glory to self.
  • 00:05:52.802 --> 00:05:57.907
  • Not what brings glory to self. you read this in romans 12:3.
  • 00:05:57.974 --> 00:05:59.876
  • You read this in romans 12:3. it says,
  • 00:05:59.942 --> 00:06:00.510
  • It says, "do not think of yourself
  • 00:06:00.576 --> 00:06:03.146
  • "do not think of yourself more highly than you ought."
  • 00:06:03.212 --> 00:06:06.916
  • More highly than you ought." now, how many of you read
  • 00:06:06.983 --> 00:06:08.251
  • Now, how many of you read that verse and you
  • 00:06:08.317 --> 00:06:09.986
  • That verse and you know that that is fabulous
  • 00:06:10.052 --> 00:06:11.854
  • Know that that is fabulous advice for other people?
  • 00:06:11.921 --> 00:06:15.792
  • Advice for other people? i mean, that's one
  • 00:06:15.858 --> 00:06:16.259
  • I mean, that's one of those verses you wanna
  • 00:06:16.325 --> 00:06:17.059
  • Of those verses you wanna bless somebody with.
  • 00:06:17.126 --> 00:06:19.962
  • Bless somebody with. "i read this and was
  • 00:06:20.029 --> 00:06:20.730
  • "i read this and was thinking about you today."
  • 00:06:20.797 --> 00:06:25.234
  • Thinking about you today." but this isn't the verse
  • 00:06:25.301 --> 00:06:26.035
  • But this isn't the verse that you read and look
  • 00:06:26.102 --> 00:06:27.437
  • That you read and look in the mirror and say,
  • 00:06:27.503 --> 00:06:28.538
  • In the mirror and say, "that's me."
  • 00:06:28.604 --> 00:06:30.740
  • "that's me." but paul says that when
  • 00:06:30.807 --> 00:06:31.808
  • But paul says that when you've laid your life down,
  • 00:06:31.874 --> 00:06:32.942
  • You've laid your life down, you don't think of yourself
  • 00:06:33.009 --> 00:06:34.277
  • You don't think of yourself when it comes to service,
  • 00:06:34.343 --> 00:06:35.011
  • When it comes to service, you think of those
  • 00:06:35.077 --> 00:06:35.611
  • You think of those you can serve.
  • 00:06:35.678 --> 00:06:37.613
  • You can serve. but what you cannot
  • 00:06:37.680 --> 00:06:38.347
  • But what you cannot do when it comes
  • 00:06:38.414 --> 00:06:39.081
  • Do when it comes to service is tell god
  • 00:06:39.148 --> 00:06:40.249
  • To service is tell god where you want to serve
  • 00:06:40.316 --> 00:06:41.551
  • Where you want to serve because that's not service,
  • 00:06:41.617 --> 00:06:43.753
  • Because that's not service, that's selfish.
  • 00:06:43.820 --> 00:06:45.788
  • That's selfish. a lot of people could serve
  • 00:06:45.855 --> 00:06:47.223
  • A lot of people could serve but don't serve
  • 00:06:47.290 --> 00:06:48.057
  • But don't serve because they can't
  • 00:06:48.124 --> 00:06:48.591
  • Because they can't have a microphone.
  • 00:06:48.658 --> 00:06:50.560
  • Have a microphone. they could do
  • 00:06:50.626 --> 00:06:51.127
  • They could do but they won't do
  • 00:06:51.194 --> 00:06:51.994
  • But they won't do because they can't
  • 00:06:52.061 --> 00:06:52.662
  • Because they can't be seen and heard.
  • 00:06:52.728 --> 00:06:55.198
  • Be seen and heard. they have opportunity
  • 00:06:55.264 --> 00:06:56.165
  • They have opportunity to be a blessing,
  • 00:06:56.232 --> 00:06:56.999
  • To be a blessing, but because they're
  • 00:06:57.066 --> 00:06:57.600
  • But because they're not sitting at a table
  • 00:06:57.667 --> 00:06:58.468
  • Not sitting at a table with decision makers,
  • 00:06:58.534 --> 00:06:59.669
  • With decision makers, and they're not recognized
  • 00:06:59.735 --> 00:07:00.803
  • And they're not recognized for their abilities
  • 00:07:00.870 --> 00:07:01.637
  • For their abilities and their talents,
  • 00:07:01.704 --> 00:07:02.205
  • And their talents, they don't wanna do anything.
  • 00:07:02.271 --> 00:07:04.841
  • They don't wanna do anything. here's the problem
  • 00:07:04.907 --> 00:07:05.475
  • Here's the problem with that.
  • 00:07:05.541 --> 00:07:06.209
  • With that. there's not one
  • 00:07:06.275 --> 00:07:07.176
  • There's not one of us who have one gift
  • 00:07:07.243 --> 00:07:08.344
  • Of us who have one gift or one talent
  • 00:07:08.411 --> 00:07:09.145
  • Or one talent that god didn't give you.
  • 00:07:09.212 --> 00:07:12.048
  • That god didn't give you. everything that you
  • 00:07:12.114 --> 00:07:12.849
  • Everything that you have that you're good at,

  • Have that you're good at, you didn't get that
  • 00:07:14.383 --> 00:07:14.984
  • You didn't get that on your own,
  • 00:07:15.051 --> 00:07:15.685
  • On your own, god gave it to you.
  • 00:07:15.751 --> 00:07:18.154
  • God gave it to you. and your responsibility
  • 00:07:18.221 --> 00:07:19.422
  • And your responsibility is to let god use it.
  • 00:07:19.489 --> 00:07:21.090
  • Is to let god use it. why?
  • 00:07:21.157 --> 00:07:21.724
  • Why? according to this verse,
  • 00:07:21.791 --> 00:07:22.859
  • According to this verse, for his glory,
  • 00:07:22.925 --> 00:07:24.393
  • For his glory, not self-promotion.
  • 00:07:24.460 --> 00:07:27.163
  • Not self-promotion. romans 12:6 says that
  • 00:07:27.230 --> 00:07:29.432
  • Romans 12:6 says that we have differing gifts
  • 00:07:29.499 --> 00:07:31.033

  • [applause]
  • 00:08:50.846 --> 00:08:55.351
  • Why is this important?
  • 00:08:56.319 --> 00:08:57.320
  • Why is this important? because we are
  • 00:08:57.386 --> 00:08:57.887
  • Because we are the body of christ.
  • 00:08:57.954 --> 00:09:00.056
  • The body of christ. and any time a body
  • 00:09:00.122 --> 00:09:01.724
  • And any time a body fights itself, it's sickness.
  • 00:09:01.791 --> 00:09:05.494
  • Fights itself, it's sickness. any time a body fights itself,
  • 00:09:05.561 --> 00:09:07.163
  • Any time a body fights itself, it doesn't function.
  • 00:09:07.229 --> 00:09:09.665
  • It doesn't function. and the world that we're
  • 00:09:09.732 --> 00:09:10.266
  • And the world that we're living in cannot afford
  • 00:09:10.333 --> 00:09:11.867
  • Living in cannot afford for the body of christ
  • 00:09:11.934 --> 00:09:12.969
  • For the body of christ to fight itself.
  • 00:09:13.035 --> 00:09:17.073
  • To fight itself. whenever your body
  • 00:09:17.139 --> 00:09:17.807
  • Whenever your body begins to fight itself,
  • 00:09:17.873 --> 00:09:19.275
  • Begins to fight itself, it's called cancer.
  • 00:09:19.342 --> 00:09:20.276
  • It's called cancer. and if you don't get
  • 00:09:20.343 --> 00:09:20.943
  • And if you don't get in front of cancer,

  • In front of cancer, cancer kills you.
  • 00:09:21.677 --> 00:09:23.879

  • Will destroy the body of christ in this generation,

  • Of christ in this generation, it's division because
  • 00:09:28.250 --> 00:09:30.753
  • It's division because the bible says,
  • 00:09:30.820 --> 00:09:31.420
  • The bible says, "a house divided against
  • 00:09:31.487 --> 00:09:32.888
  • "a house divided against itself cannot stand."
  • 00:09:32.955 --> 00:09:36.092
  • Itself cannot stand." the point is this,
  • 00:09:36.158 --> 00:09:37.159
  • The point is this, when you come into god's
  • 00:09:37.226 --> 00:09:39.228

  • God gave you for god's glory, and you do it to serve
  • 00:09:43.165 --> 00:09:44.500
  • And you do it to serve the body,

  • The body, collectively god gets
  • 00:09:45.368 --> 00:09:47.570
  • Collectively god gets the opportunity to show others
  • 00:09:47.637 --> 00:09:49.805
  • The opportunity to show others what a great
  • 00:09:49.872 --> 00:09:50.539
  • What a great and glorious god he is.

  • [laughter]
  • 00:14:44.433 --> 00:14:47.670
  • The reason that cornerstone
  • 00:14:49.438 --> 00:14:50.072
  • The reason that cornerstone church is a living church
  • 00:14:50.139 --> 00:14:51.373
  • Church is a living church is because 1 timothy
  • 00:14:51.440 --> 00:14:52.441
  • Is because 1 timothy says that the house
  • 00:14:52.508 --> 00:14:53.609
  • Says that the house of the living god
  • 00:14:53.676 --> 00:14:55.277
  • Of the living god is the pillar of truth.
  • 00:14:55.344 --> 00:14:56.412
  • Is the pillar of truth. and if he's a living god,
  • 00:14:56.478 --> 00:14:57.746
  • And if he's a living god, he needs a living church.
  • 00:14:57.813 --> 00:15:00.916
  • He needs a living church. a living church grows,
  • 00:15:00.983 --> 00:15:02.251
  • A living church grows, and everywhere you look,
  • 00:15:02.318 --> 00:15:03.218
  • And everywhere you look, this church is growing.
  • 00:15:03.285 --> 00:15:04.186
  • This church is growing. just go look out there
  • 00:15:04.253 --> 00:15:04.920
  • Just go look out there in that lobby,
  • 00:15:04.987 --> 00:15:05.521
  • In that lobby, we're growing.
  • 00:15:05.587 --> 00:15:06.188
  • [applause]
  • 00:15:07.056 --> 00:15:12.661
  • A living church fulfils
  • 00:15:13.095 --> 00:15:14.129
  • A living church fulfils the great commission,
  • 00:15:14.196 --> 00:15:15.097
  • The great commission, and the great commission
  • 00:15:15.164 --> 00:15:15.831
  • And the great commission is found in mark 16.
  • 00:15:15.898 --> 00:15:18.067
  • Is found in mark 16. it says,
  • 00:15:18.133 --> 00:15:18.534
  • It says, "go into all the world
  • 00:15:18.600 --> 00:15:19.868
  • "go into all the world and make disciples."
  • 00:15:19.935 --> 00:15:21.704
  • And make disciples." say that with me.
  • 00:15:21.770 --> 00:15:22.604
  • Say that with me. "and make disciples."
  • 00:15:22.671 --> 00:15:24.707
  • "and make disciples." the reason you need
  • 00:15:24.773 --> 00:15:25.307
  • The reason you need to remember that the commission
  • 00:15:25.374 --> 00:15:26.976
  • To remember that the commission is to make disciples
  • 00:15:27.042 --> 00:15:28.310
  • Is to make disciples is because sometimes
  • 00:15:28.377 --> 00:15:29.211
  • Is because sometimes we think that the commission
  • 00:15:29.278 --> 00:15:30.479
  • We think that the commission is to win the lost.
  • 00:15:30.546 --> 00:15:31.480
  • Is to win the lost. that's not the full commission.
  • 00:15:31.547 --> 00:15:33.082
  • That's not the full commission. the commission requires
  • 00:15:33.148 --> 00:15:34.783
  • The commission requires that we win the lost,
  • 00:15:34.850 --> 00:15:35.851
  • That we win the lost, but once the lost
  • 00:15:35.918 --> 00:15:36.719
  • But once the lost are won to christ,
  • 00:15:36.785 --> 00:15:37.619
  • Are won to christ, we have to teach,
  • 00:15:37.686 --> 00:15:38.420
  • We have to teach, we have to train,
  • 00:15:38.487 --> 00:15:39.421
  • We have to train, we have to enable them.
  • 00:15:39.488 --> 00:15:40.756
  • We have to enable them. and that's called
  • 00:15:40.823 --> 00:15:41.557
  • And that's called disciple making.
  • 00:15:41.623 --> 00:15:44.326
  • Disciple making. in order to make disciples,
  • 00:15:44.393 --> 00:15:45.861
  • In order to make disciples, you have to have commitment.
  • 00:15:45.928 --> 00:15:48.330
  • You have to have commitment. commitment that goes
  • 00:15:48.397 --> 00:15:49.631
  • Commitment that goes beyond comfort.
  • 00:15:49.698 --> 00:15:51.000
  • Beyond comfort. because trust me,
  • 00:15:51.066 --> 00:15:51.834
  • Because trust me, if it's comfortable,
  • 00:15:51.900 --> 00:15:52.901
  • If it's comfortable, it's not committed.
  • 00:15:52.968 --> 00:15:55.738
  • It's not committed. in order to make disciples,
  • 00:15:55.804 --> 00:15:56.705
  • In order to make disciples, you have to be willing.
  • 00:15:56.772 --> 00:15:59.775
  • You have to be willing. willing to be used.
  • 00:15:59.842 --> 00:16:03.212
  • Willing to be used. not willing to be served,
  • 00:16:03.278 --> 00:16:05.280
  • Not willing to be served, but willing to be sent,
  • 00:16:05.347 --> 00:16:07.416
  • But willing to be sent, even when it's inconvenient.
  • 00:16:07.483 --> 00:16:09.918
  • Even when it's inconvenient. in order to make disciples,
  • 00:16:09.985 --> 00:16:10.986
  • In order to make disciples, you have to do it
  • 00:16:11.053 --> 00:16:11.787
  • You have to do it by god's grace,
  • 00:16:11.854 --> 00:16:12.888
  • By god's grace, because believe me,
  • 00:16:12.955 --> 00:16:14.023
  • Because believe me, what jesus said
  • 00:16:14.089 --> 00:16:14.957
  • What jesus said is evermore true,
  • 00:16:15.024 --> 00:16:16.091
  • Is evermore true, "apart from me,
  • 00:16:16.158 --> 00:16:17.559
  • "apart from me, you can do nothing."
  • 00:16:17.626 --> 00:16:21.964
