  • [applause]
  • 00:01:26.880 --> 00:01:31.151
  • If you could tell
  • 00:01:32.352 --> 00:01:33.019
  • If you could tell of all the things that god
  • 00:01:33.086 --> 00:01:34.187
  • Of all the things that god was able to do in every language
  • 00:01:34.254 --> 00:01:36.289
  • Was able to do in every language using every word
  • 00:01:36.356 --> 00:01:37.490
  • Using every word that was possible,
  • 00:01:37.557 --> 00:01:38.458
  • That was possible, you still couldn't say
  • 00:01:38.525 --> 00:01:39.692
  • You still couldn't say enough because
  • 00:01:39.759 --> 00:01:42.061
  • Enough because the verse doesn't say that,
  • 00:01:42.128 --> 00:01:43.062
  • The verse doesn't say that, "our god is able,"
  • 00:01:43.129 --> 00:01:44.130
  • "our god is able," and then it limits him.
  • 00:01:44.197 --> 00:01:45.598
  • And then it limits him. it says that,
  • 00:01:45.665 --> 00:01:46.232
  • It says that, "our god is able
  • 00:01:46.299 --> 00:01:47.367
  • "our god is able to do exceedingly."
  • 00:01:47.433 --> 00:01:49.903
  • To do exceedingly." that means that whatever
  • 00:01:49.969 --> 00:01:50.637
  • That means that whatever you think he's able to do,
  • 00:01:50.703 --> 00:01:51.971
  • You think he's able to do, he's already past that.
  • 00:01:52.038 --> 00:01:55.575
  • He's already past that. and whenever it comes
  • 00:01:55.642 --> 00:01:56.376
  • And whenever it comes to the things that he
  • 00:01:56.442 --> 00:01:57.143
  • To the things that he can bring into your life,
  • 00:01:57.210 --> 00:01:58.945
  • Can bring into your life, it doesn't say that he can
  • 00:01:59.012 --> 00:02:00.113
  • It doesn't say that he can only bring so much
  • 00:02:00.180 --> 00:02:01.014
  • Only bring so much and then that's enough,
  • 00:02:01.080 --> 00:02:02.148
  • And then that's enough, it says that when it comes
  • 00:02:02.215 --> 00:02:03.116
  • It says that when it comes to what he can bring
  • 00:02:03.183 --> 00:02:03.917
  • To what he can bring into your life,
  • 00:02:03.983 --> 00:02:04.817
  • Into your life, it's not just enough,
  • 00:02:04.884 --> 00:02:06.753
  • It's not just enough, it's abundantly.
  • 00:02:06.819 --> 00:02:08.888
  • It's abundantly. that means everything
  • 00:02:08.955 --> 00:02:09.722
  • That means everything that you think he has for you,
  • 00:02:09.789 --> 00:02:11.691
  • That you think he has for you, it's that and so much more.
  • 00:02:11.758 --> 00:02:15.228
  • It's that and so much more. however, for all of the things
  • 00:02:15.295 --> 00:02:18.031
  • However, for all of the things that god is exceedingly
  • 00:02:18.097 --> 00:02:19.399
  • That god is exceedingly and abundantly able to do,
  • 00:02:19.465 --> 00:02:21.534
  • And abundantly able to do, he does not do them unless
  • 00:02:21.601 --> 00:02:23.336
  • He does not do them unless you are in the equation
  • 00:02:23.403 --> 00:02:27.307
  • You are in the equation because verse 21 tells us
  • 00:02:27.373 --> 00:02:28.308
  • Because verse 21 tells us very clearly how
  • 00:02:28.374 --> 00:02:30.777
  • Very clearly how he chooses to pour
  • 00:02:30.843 --> 00:02:32.645
  • He chooses to pour out this glory.
  • 00:02:32.712 --> 00:02:34.747
  • Out this glory. it says, "to him be glory
  • 00:02:34.814 --> 00:02:37.183
  • It says, "to him be glory in the church."
  • 00:02:37.250 --> 00:02:39.385
  • In the church." say that with me,
  • 00:02:39.452 --> 00:02:40.253
  • Say that with me, "to him be glory in the church."
  • 00:02:40.320 --> 00:02:44.424
  • "to him be glory in the church." that means that when
  • 00:02:44.490 --> 00:02:45.325
  • That means that when god is going to do exceedingly
  • 00:02:45.391 --> 00:02:46.793
  • God is going to do exceedingly and abundantly,
  • 00:02:46.859 --> 00:02:47.927
  • And abundantly, he's going to do it through
  • 00:02:47.994 --> 00:02:49.596
  • He's going to do it through the church that he created.
  • 00:02:49.662 --> 00:02:52.232
  • The church that he created. and he's not just
  • 00:02:52.298 --> 00:02:52.832
  • And he's not just gonna do it once,
  • 00:02:52.899 --> 00:02:53.933
  • Gonna do it once, the verse tells us clearly
  • 00:02:54.000 --> 00:02:55.101
  • The verse tells us clearly he's going to do it
  • 00:02:55.168 --> 00:02:56.269
  • He's going to do it in all generations.
  • 00:02:56.336 --> 00:03:00.573
  • In all generations. is our god all sufficient?
  • 00:03:00.640 --> 00:03:02.008
  • Is our god all sufficient? without a question.
  • 00:03:02.075 --> 00:03:03.743
  • Without a question. he doesn't need anyone
  • 00:03:03.810 --> 00:03:04.911
  • He doesn't need anyone for anything,
  • 00:03:04.978 --> 00:03:06.145
  • For anything, but he chooses us.
  • 00:03:06.212 --> 00:03:09.449
  • But he chooses us. the verse very carefully
  • 00:03:09.515 --> 00:03:10.083
  • The verse very carefully tells us,
  • 00:03:10.149 --> 00:03:11.317
  • Tells us, "to him be glory."
  • 00:03:11.384 --> 00:03:14.387
  • "to him be glory." everything that the church does
  • 00:03:14.454 --> 00:03:16.422
  • Everything that the church does should be for the purpose
  • 00:03:16.489 --> 00:03:17.624
  • Should be for the purpose of bringing god glory.
  • 00:03:17.690 --> 00:03:22.128
  • Of bringing god glory. and then it says,
  • 00:03:22.195 --> 00:03:22.729
  • And then it says, "in all generations."
  • 00:03:22.795 --> 00:03:25.965
  • "in all generations." that means that god
  • 00:03:26.032 --> 00:03:27.233
  • That means that god has a plan
  • 00:03:27.300 --> 00:03:28.368
  • Has a plan for the next generation.
  • 00:03:28.434 --> 00:03:30.837

  • 00:05:11.838 --> 00:05:14.207
  • Are we willing? because god's ability
  • 00:05:14.273 --> 00:05:16.209
  • Because god's ability to do exceedingly and abundantly
  • 00:05:16.275 --> 00:05:18.277
  • To do exceedingly and abundantly is based upon our availability
  • 00:05:18.344 --> 00:05:20.413
  • Is based upon our availability to do the work.
  • 00:05:20.480 --> 00:05:22.648
  • To do the work. god wants to do it through us.
  • 00:05:22.715 --> 00:05:26.419
  • God wants to do it through us. in the first message,
  • 00:05:26.486 --> 00:05:27.253
  • In the first message, we looked at paul's pleading
  • 00:05:27.320 --> 00:05:28.621
  • We looked at paul's pleading with the church.
  • 00:05:28.688 --> 00:05:29.122
  • With the church. he said,
  • 00:05:29.188 --> 00:05:29.522
  • He said, "brothers, i beseech you.
  • 00:05:29.589 --> 00:05:30.857
  • "brothers, i beseech you. lay your life down."
  • 00:05:30.923 --> 00:05:34.527
  • Lay your life down." it's a reasonable service.
  • 00:05:34.594 --> 00:05:37.029
  • It's a reasonable service. and then in the rest
  • 00:05:37.096 --> 00:05:38.464
  • And then in the rest of the chapter,
  • 00:05:38.531 --> 00:05:38.965
  • Of the chapter, he tells us what a life
  • 00:05:39.031 --> 00:05:40.299
  • He tells us what a life that has been laid
  • 00:05:40.366 --> 00:05:41.033
  • That has been laid down looks like.
  • 00:05:41.100 --> 00:05:43.836
  • Down looks like. he tells us that the life
  • 00:05:43.903 --> 00:05:44.837
  • He tells us that the life that is laid down
  • 00:05:44.904 --> 00:05:45.738
  • That is laid down is willing to serve
  • 00:05:45.805 --> 00:05:47.774
  • Is willing to serve and willing to serve
  • 00:05:47.840 --> 00:05:48.775
  • And willing to serve in what brings glory to god,
  • 00:05:48.841 --> 00:05:51.744
  • In what brings glory to god, not what brings glory to self.
  • 00:05:51.811 --> 00:05:56.916
  • Not what brings glory to self. you read this in romans 12:3.
  • 00:05:56.983 --> 00:05:58.885
  • You read this in romans 12:3. it says,
  • 00:05:58.951 --> 00:05:59.519
  • It says, "do not think of yourself
  • 00:05:59.585 --> 00:06:02.155
  • "do not think of yourself more highly than you ought."
  • 00:06:02.221 --> 00:06:05.925
  • More highly than you ought." now, how many of you read
  • 00:06:05.992 --> 00:06:07.260
  • Now, how many of you read that verse and you
  • 00:06:07.326 --> 00:06:08.995
  • That verse and you know that that is fabulous
  • 00:06:09.061 --> 00:06:10.863
  • Know that that is fabulous advice for other people?
  • 00:06:10.930 --> 00:06:14.801
  • Advice for other people? i mean, that's one
  • 00:06:14.867 --> 00:06:15.268
  • I mean, that's one of those verses you wanna
  • 00:06:15.334 --> 00:06:16.068
  • Of those verses you wanna bless somebody with.
  • 00:06:16.135 --> 00:06:18.971
  • Bless somebody with. "i read this and was
  • 00:06:19.038 --> 00:06:19.739
  • "i read this and was thinking about you today."
  • 00:06:19.806 --> 00:06:24.243
  • Thinking about you today." but this isn't the verse
  • 00:06:24.310 --> 00:06:25.044
  • But this isn't the verse that you read and look
  • 00:06:25.111 --> 00:06:26.446
  • That you read and look in the mirror and say,
  • 00:06:26.512 --> 00:06:27.547
  • In the mirror and say, "that's me."
  • 00:06:27.613 --> 00:06:29.749
  • "that's me." but paul says that when
  • 00:06:29.816 --> 00:06:30.817
  • But paul says that when you've laid your life down,
  • 00:06:30.883 --> 00:06:31.951
  • You've laid your life down, you don't think of yourself
  • 00:06:32.018 --> 00:06:33.286
  • You don't think of yourself when it comes to service,
  • 00:06:33.352 --> 00:06:34.020
  • When it comes to service, you think of those
  • 00:06:34.086 --> 00:06:34.620
  • You think of those you can serve.
  • 00:06:34.687 --> 00:06:36.622
  • You can serve. but what you cannot
  • 00:06:36.689 --> 00:06:37.356
  • But what you cannot do when it comes
  • 00:06:37.423 --> 00:06:38.090
  • Do when it comes to service is tell god
  • 00:06:38.157 --> 00:06:39.258
  • To service is tell god where you want to serve
  • 00:06:39.325 --> 00:06:40.560
  • Where you want to serve because that's not service,
  • 00:06:40.626 --> 00:06:42.762
  • Because that's not service, that's selfish.
  • 00:06:42.829 --> 00:06:44.797
  • That's selfish. a lot of people could serve
  • 00:06:44.864 --> 00:06:46.232
  • A lot of people could serve but don't serve
  • 00:06:46.299 --> 00:06:47.066
  • But don't serve because they can't
  • 00:06:47.133 --> 00:06:47.600
  • Because they can't have a microphone.
  • 00:06:47.667 --> 00:06:49.569
  • Have a microphone. they could do
  • 00:06:49.635 --> 00:06:50.136
  • They could do but they won't do
  • 00:06:50.203 --> 00:06:51.003
  • But they won't do because they can't
  • 00:06:51.070 --> 00:06:51.671
  • Because they can't be seen and heard.
  • 00:06:51.737 --> 00:06:54.207
  • Be seen and heard. they have opportunity
  • 00:06:54.273 --> 00:06:55.174
  • They have opportunity to be a blessing,
  • 00:06:55.241 --> 00:06:56.008
  • To be a blessing, but because they're
  • 00:06:56.075 --> 00:06:56.609
  • But because they're not sitting at a table
  • 00:06:56.676 --> 00:06:57.477
  • Not sitting at a table with decision makers,
  • 00:06:57.543 --> 00:06:58.678
  • With decision makers, and they're not recognized
  • 00:06:58.744 --> 00:06:59.812
  • And they're not recognized for their abilities
  • 00:06:59.879 --> 00:07:00.646
  • For their abilities and their talents,
  • 00:07:00.713 --> 00:07:01.214
  • And their talents, they don't wanna do anything.
  • 00:07:01.280 --> 00:07:03.850
  • They don't wanna do anything. here's the problem
  • 00:07:03.916 --> 00:07:04.484
  • Here's the problem with that.
  • 00:07:04.550 --> 00:07:05.218
  • With that. there's not one
  • 00:07:05.284 --> 00:07:06.185
  • There's not one of us who have one gift
  • 00:07:06.252 --> 00:07:07.353
  • Of us who have one gift or one talent
  • 00:07:07.420 --> 00:07:08.154
  • Or one talent that god didn't give you.
  • 00:07:08.221 --> 00:07:11.057
  • That god didn't give you. everything that you
  • 00:07:11.123 --> 00:07:11.858
  • Everything that you have that you're good at,

  • Have that you're good at, you didn't get that
  • 00:07:13.392 --> 00:07:13.993
  • You didn't get that on your own,
  • 00:07:14.060 --> 00:07:14.694
  • On your own, god gave it to you.
  • 00:07:14.760 --> 00:07:17.163
  • God gave it to you. and your responsibility
  • 00:07:17.230 --> 00:07:18.431
  • And your responsibility is to let god use it.
  • 00:07:18.498 --> 00:07:20.099
  • Is to let god use it. why?
  • 00:07:20.166 --> 00:07:20.733
  • Why? according to this verse,
  • 00:07:20.800 --> 00:07:21.868
  • According to this verse, for his glory,
  • 00:07:21.934 --> 00:07:23.402
  • For his glory, not self-promotion.
  • 00:07:23.469 --> 00:07:26.172
  • Not self-promotion. romans 12:6 says that
  • 00:07:26.239 --> 00:07:28.441
  • Romans 12:6 says that we have differing gifts
  • 00:07:28.508 --> 00:07:30.042

  • [applause]
  • 00:08:49.855 --> 00:08:54.360
  • Why is this important?
  • 00:08:55.328 --> 00:08:56.329
  • Why is this important? because we are
  • 00:08:56.395 --> 00:08:56.896
  • Because we are the body of christ.
  • 00:08:56.963 --> 00:08:59.065
  • The body of christ. and any time a body
  • 00:08:59.131 --> 00:09:00.733
  • And any time a body fights itself, it's sickness.
  • 00:09:00.800 --> 00:09:04.503
  • Fights itself, it's sickness. any time a body fights itself,
  • 00:09:04.570 --> 00:09:06.172
  • Any time a body fights itself, it doesn't function.
  • 00:09:06.238 --> 00:09:08.674
  • It doesn't function. and the world that we're
  • 00:09:08.741 --> 00:09:09.275
  • And the world that we're living in cannot afford
  • 00:09:09.342 --> 00:09:10.876
  • Living in cannot afford for the body of christ
  • 00:09:10.943 --> 00:09:11.978
  • For the body of christ to fight itself.
  • 00:09:12.044 --> 00:09:16.082
  • To fight itself. whenever your body
  • 00:09:16.148 --> 00:09:16.816
  • Whenever your body begins to fight itself,
  • 00:09:16.882 --> 00:09:18.284
  • Begins to fight itself, it's called cancer.
  • 00:09:18.351 --> 00:09:19.285
  • It's called cancer. and if you don't get
  • 00:09:19.352 --> 00:09:19.952
  • And if you don't get in front of cancer,

  • In front of cancer, cancer kills you.
  • 00:09:20.686 --> 00:09:22.888

  • Of christ in this generation, it's division because
  • 00:09:27.259 --> 00:09:29.762
  • It's division because the bible says,
  • 00:09:29.829 --> 00:09:30.429
  • The bible says, "a house divided against
  • 00:09:30.496 --> 00:09:31.897
  • "a house divided against itself cannot stand."
  • 00:09:31.964 --> 00:09:35.101
  • Itself cannot stand." the point is this,
  • 00:09:35.167 --> 00:09:36.168
  • The point is this, when you come into god's
  • 00:09:36.235 --> 00:09:38.237

  • God gave you for god's glory, and you do it to serve
  • 00:09:42.174 --> 00:09:43.509
  • And you do it to serve the body,

  • The body, collectively god gets
  • 00:09:44.377 --> 00:09:46.579
  • Collectively god gets the opportunity to show others
  • 00:09:46.646 --> 00:09:48.814
  • The opportunity to show others what a great

  • [laughter]
  • 00:14:43.442 --> 00:14:46.679
  • The reason that cornerstone
  • 00:14:48.447 --> 00:14:49.081
  • The reason that cornerstone church is a living church
  • 00:14:49.148 --> 00:14:50.382
  • Church is a living church is because 1 timothy
  • 00:14:50.449 --> 00:14:51.450
  • Is because 1 timothy says that the house
  • 00:14:51.517 --> 00:14:52.618
  • Says that the house of the living god
  • 00:14:52.685 --> 00:14:54.286
  • Of the living god is the pillar of truth.
  • 00:14:54.353 --> 00:14:55.421
  • Is the pillar of truth. and if he's a living god,
  • 00:14:55.487 --> 00:14:56.755
  • And if he's a living god, he needs a living church.
  • 00:14:56.822 --> 00:14:59.925
  • He needs a living church. a living church grows,
  • 00:14:59.992 --> 00:15:01.260
  • A living church grows, and everywhere you look,
  • 00:15:01.327 --> 00:15:02.227
  • And everywhere you look, this church is growing.
  • 00:15:02.294 --> 00:15:03.195
  • This church is growing. just go look out there
  • 00:15:03.262 --> 00:15:03.929
  • Just go look out there in that lobby,
  • 00:15:03.996 --> 00:15:04.530
  • In that lobby, we're growing.
  • 00:15:04.596 --> 00:15:05.197
  • [applause]
  • 00:15:06.065 --> 00:15:11.670
  • A living church fulfils
  • 00:15:12.104 --> 00:15:13.138
  • A living church fulfils the great commission,
  • 00:15:13.205 --> 00:15:14.106
  • The great commission, and the great commission
  • 00:15:14.173 --> 00:15:14.840
  • And the great commission is found in mark 16.
  • 00:15:14.907 --> 00:15:17.076
  • Is found in mark 16. it says,
  • 00:15:17.142 --> 00:15:17.543
  • It says, "go into all the world
  • 00:15:17.609 --> 00:15:18.877
  • "go into all the world and make disciples."
  • 00:15:18.944 --> 00:15:20.713
  • And make disciples." say that with me.
  • 00:15:20.779 --> 00:15:21.613
  • Say that with me. "and make disciples."
  • 00:15:21.680 --> 00:15:23.716
  • "and make disciples." the reason you need
  • 00:15:23.782 --> 00:15:24.316
  • The reason you need to remember that the commission
  • 00:15:24.383 --> 00:15:25.985
  • To remember that the commission is to make disciples
  • 00:15:26.051 --> 00:15:27.319
  • Is to make disciples is because sometimes
  • 00:15:27.386 --> 00:15:28.220
  • Is because sometimes we think that the commission
  • 00:15:28.287 --> 00:15:29.488
  • We think that the commission is to win the lost.
  • 00:15:29.555 --> 00:15:30.489
  • Is to win the lost. that's not the full commission.
  • 00:15:30.556 --> 00:15:32.091
  • That's not the full commission. the commission requires
  • 00:15:32.157 --> 00:15:33.792
  • The commission requires that we win the lost,
  • 00:15:33.859 --> 00:15:34.860
  • That we win the lost, but once the lost
  • 00:15:34.927 --> 00:15:35.728
  • But once the lost are won to christ,
  • 00:15:35.794 --> 00:15:36.628
  • Are won to christ, we have to teach,
  • 00:15:36.695 --> 00:15:37.429
  • We have to teach, we have to train,
  • 00:15:37.496 --> 00:15:38.430
  • We have to train, we have to enable them.
  • 00:15:38.497 --> 00:15:39.765
  • We have to enable them. and that's called
  • 00:15:39.832 --> 00:15:40.566
  • And that's called disciple making.
  • 00:15:40.632 --> 00:15:43.335
  • Disciple making. in order to make disciples,
  • 00:15:43.402 --> 00:15:44.870
  • In order to make disciples, you have to have commitment.
  • 00:15:44.937 --> 00:15:47.339
  • You have to have commitment. commitment that goes
  • 00:15:47.406 --> 00:15:48.640
  • Commitment that goes beyond comfort.
  • 00:15:48.707 --> 00:15:50.009
  • Beyond comfort. because trust me,
  • 00:15:50.075 --> 00:15:50.843
  • Because trust me, if it's comfortable,
  • 00:15:50.909 --> 00:15:51.910
  • If it's comfortable, it's not committed.
  • 00:15:51.977 --> 00:15:54.747
  • It's not committed. in order to make disciples,
  • 00:15:54.813 --> 00:15:55.714
  • In order to make disciples, you have to be willing.
  • 00:15:55.781 --> 00:15:58.784
  • You have to be willing. willing to be used.
  • 00:15:58.851 --> 00:16:02.221
  • Willing to be used. not willing to be served,
  • 00:16:02.287 --> 00:16:04.289
  • Not willing to be served, but willing to be sent,
  • 00:16:04.356 --> 00:16:06.425
  • But willing to be sent, even when it's inconvenient.
  • 00:16:06.492 --> 00:16:08.927
  • Even when it's inconvenient. in order to make disciples,
  • 00:16:08.994 --> 00:16:09.995
  • In order to make disciples, you have to do it
  • 00:16:10.062 --> 00:16:10.796
  • You have to do it by god's grace,
  • 00:16:10.863 --> 00:16:11.897
  • By god's grace, because believe me,
  • 00:16:11.964 --> 00:16:13.032
  • Because believe me, what jesus said
  • 00:16:13.098 --> 00:16:13.966
  • What jesus said is evermore true,
  • 00:16:14.033 --> 00:16:15.100
  • Is evermore true, "apart from me,
  • 00:16:15.167 --> 00:16:16.568
  • "apart from me, you can do nothing."
  • 00:16:16.635 --> 00:16:20.973
