00:00:14.297 --> 00:00:15.131
Pastor matt hagee: today, i want you to see how you can
00:00:15.198 --> 00:00:16.633
I want you to see how you can outgrow depression.
00:00:16.699 --> 00:00:19.202
Outgrow depression. [amen.]
00:00:19.269 --> 00:00:19.669
[amen.] [hallelujah.]
00:00:19.736 --> 00:00:20.437
[hallelujah.] just like an individual
00:00:20.503 --> 00:00:21.438
Just like an individual standing before you today,
00:00:21.504 --> 00:00:22.539
Standing before you today, says, "well, when i was a kid,
00:00:22.605 --> 00:00:23.673
Says, "well, when i was a kid, i had asthma."
00:00:23.740 --> 00:00:24.541
I had asthma." well, what happened?
00:00:24.607 --> 00:00:25.275
Well, what happened? "i outgrew it."
00:00:25.341 --> 00:00:28.144
"i outgrew it." as a young and immature
00:00:28.211 --> 00:00:30.246
As a young and immature christian,
00:00:30.313 --> 00:00:31.014
Christian, you may struggle with
00:00:31.081 --> 00:00:32.082
You may struggle with the anxiety of the word.
00:00:32.148 --> 00:00:33.283
The anxiety of the word. but if you put your faith
00:00:33.349 --> 00:00:34.551
But if you put your faith into action,
00:00:34.617 --> 00:00:35.685
Into action, as you mature,
00:00:35.752 --> 00:00:36.653
As you mature, as you will grow,
00:00:36.719 --> 00:00:37.954
As you will grow, you will outgrow it.
00:00:38.021 --> 00:00:40.190
You will outgrow it. [amen.]
00:00:40.256 --> 00:00:42.058
[amen.] this is why paul could be
00:00:42.125 --> 00:00:43.326
This is why paul could be chained in prison just days
00:00:43.393 --> 00:00:45.962
Chained in prison just days from death, saying,
00:00:46.029 --> 00:00:47.230
From death, saying, "rejoice in the lord always."
00:00:47.297 --> 00:00:51.034
"rejoice in the lord always." [yes.]
00:00:51.101 --> 00:00:51.901
[yes.] there wasn't any kind of
00:00:51.968 --> 00:00:53.269
There wasn't any kind of worldly anxiety or concern
00:00:53.336 --> 00:00:55.505
Worldly anxiety or concern that he had that he had not
00:00:55.572 --> 00:00:57.440
That he had that he had not believed that god could help
00:00:57.507 --> 00:00:58.741
Believed that god could help him to overcome.
00:00:58.808 --> 00:01:00.743
Him to overcome. [yes.]
00:01:00.810 --> 00:01:01.377
[yes.] so how do you grow in faith,
00:01:01.444 --> 00:01:03.980
So how do you grow in faith, in love,
00:01:04.047 --> 00:01:04.881
In love, and outgrow anxiety
00:01:04.948 --> 00:01:06.683
And outgrow anxiety and depression?
00:01:06.749 --> 00:01:08.151
And depression? you have to, first,
00:01:08.218 --> 00:01:08.985
You have to, first, be planted by god's grace.
00:01:09.052 --> 00:01:11.788
Be planted by god's grace. [amen.]
00:01:11.855 --> 00:01:13.456
[amen.] jesus said this in john 15:5,
00:01:13.523 --> 00:01:16.259
Jesus said this in john 15:5, "apart from me
00:01:16.326 --> 00:01:17.560
"apart from me you can do nothing."
00:01:17.627 --> 00:01:20.096
You can do nothing." now that's something that you
00:01:20.163 --> 00:01:21.064
Now that's something that you need to remind yourself of
00:01:21.131 --> 00:01:22.532
Need to remind yourself of on a daily basis.
00:01:22.599 --> 00:01:23.766
On a daily basis. [that's right.]
00:01:23.833 --> 00:01:24.501
[that's right.] [that's right.]
00:01:24.567 --> 00:01:25.268
[that's right.] and the reason that you and i
00:01:25.335 --> 00:01:26.436
And the reason that you and i have to remind ourselves of
00:01:26.503 --> 00:01:27.770
Have to remind ourselves of this on a daily basis is
00:01:27.837 --> 00:01:29.339
This on a daily basis is because in every one of us
00:01:29.405 --> 00:01:31.341
Because in every one of us is this very self-centered,
00:01:31.407 --> 00:01:33.143
Is this very self-centered, selfish individual that is
00:01:33.209 --> 00:01:35.345
Selfish individual that is so immature and childish that
00:01:35.411 --> 00:01:37.714
So immature and childish that we want to constantly tell god
00:01:37.780 --> 00:01:39.682
We want to constantly tell god we can do it on our own.
00:01:39.749 --> 00:01:41.417
We can do it on our own. we forget quickly what acts 17
00:01:41.484 --> 00:01:43.820
We forget quickly what acts 17 says.
00:01:43.887 --> 00:01:44.454
Says. "in him we live,
00:01:44.521 --> 00:01:45.088
"in him we live, in him we move,
00:01:45.155 --> 00:01:45.922
In him we move, and in him we have our being."
00:01:45.989 --> 00:01:48.825
And in him we have our being." the point is this:
00:01:48.892 --> 00:01:49.659
The point is this: if anything in your life
00:01:49.726 --> 00:01:50.727
If anything in your life is going to flourish,
00:01:50.793 --> 00:01:52.028
Is going to flourish, thrive, and grow,
00:01:52.095 --> 00:01:53.263
Thrive, and grow, it's got to be planted in god.
00:01:53.329 --> 00:01:55.765
It's got to be planted in god. and the only way it can be
00:01:55.832 --> 00:01:56.866
And the only way it can be planted in god is by
00:01:56.933 --> 00:01:59.002
Planted in god is by his grace.
00:01:59.068 --> 00:02:00.203
His grace. [yes.]
00:02:00.270 --> 00:02:00.870
[yes.] [amen.]
00:02:00.937 --> 00:02:01.538
[amen.] if it's not planted in god,
00:02:01.604 --> 00:02:02.505
If it's not planted in god, it'll burn you out,
00:02:02.572 --> 00:02:03.439
It'll burn you out, it'll bring you down.
00:02:03.506 --> 00:02:04.674
It'll bring you down. it will take your joy
00:02:04.741 --> 00:02:06.442
It will take your joy and it will give you sorrow.
00:02:06.509 --> 00:02:08.378
And it will give you sorrow. [that's right.]
00:02:08.444 --> 00:02:09.112
[that's right.] whatever you want to grow has
00:02:09.179 --> 00:02:10.213
Whatever you want to grow has got to be planted in grace
00:02:10.280 --> 00:02:11.581
Got to be planted in grace and it's got to grow in faith.
00:02:11.648 --> 00:02:13.082
And it's got to grow in faith. how did your salvation come?
00:02:13.149 --> 00:02:15.151
How did your salvation come? by grace and by faith.
00:02:15.218 --> 00:02:17.420
By grace and by faith. [amen.]
00:02:17.487 --> 00:02:18.154
[amen.] ephesians 2:8,
00:02:18.221 --> 00:02:19.355
Ephesians 2:8, "by grace you have been saved
00:02:19.422 --> 00:02:20.924
"by grace you have been saved through faith."
00:02:20.990 --> 00:02:22.992
Through faith." [amen.]
00:02:23.059 --> 00:02:23.726
[amen.] grace is god's gift.
00:02:23.793 --> 00:02:25.094
Grace is god's gift. faith is how you open
00:02:25.161 --> 00:02:26.763
Faith is how you open the gift.
00:02:26.829 --> 00:02:27.564
The gift. [amen.]
00:02:27.630 --> 00:02:28.565
[amen.] [hallelujah.]
00:02:28.631 --> 00:02:28.965
[hallelujah.] no matter what you're trying
00:02:29.032 --> 00:02:29.933
No matter what you're trying to achieve though,
00:02:29.999 --> 00:02:30.833
To achieve though, if you do not try to achieve
00:02:30.900 --> 00:02:32.135
If you do not try to achieve it in god's grace
00:02:32.202 --> 00:02:33.436
It in god's grace and through pure faith,
00:02:33.503 --> 00:02:34.971
And through pure faith, you're going to struggle
00:02:35.038 --> 00:02:36.039
You're going to struggle with it.
00:02:36.105 --> 00:02:37.073
With it. [yes.]
00:02:37.140 --> 00:02:37.807
[yes.] and that struggle is going to
00:02:37.874 --> 00:02:38.741
And that struggle is going to lead to depression.
00:02:38.808 --> 00:02:40.777
Lead to depression. so how do you outgrow
00:02:40.843 --> 00:02:41.744
So how do you outgrow depression?
00:02:41.811 --> 00:02:43.313
Depression? instead of sowing from
00:02:43.379 --> 00:02:44.314
Instead of sowing from the flesh,
00:02:44.380 --> 00:02:45.782
The flesh, you sow from the spirit.
00:02:45.848 --> 00:02:48.484
You sow from the spirit. this is what paul is talking
00:02:48.551 --> 00:02:49.619
This is what paul is talking about in galatians 5 and 6.
00:02:49.686 --> 00:02:53.723
About in galatians 5 and 6. "do not be deceived,
00:02:53.790 --> 00:02:55.225
"do not be deceived, god is not mocked."
00:02:55.291 --> 00:02:57.493
God is not mocked." "whatever a man sows,
00:02:57.560 --> 00:02:59.329
"whatever a man sows, that will he reap."
00:02:59.395 --> 00:03:01.397
That will he reap." [that's right.]
00:03:01.464 --> 00:03:02.465
[that's right.] if you're sowing joy,
00:03:02.532 --> 00:03:04.033
If you're sowing joy, you're going to reap joy.
00:03:04.100 --> 00:03:05.969
You're going to reap joy. if you're sowing frustration,
00:03:06.035 --> 00:03:07.971
If you're sowing frustration, you're going to reap
00:03:08.037 --> 00:03:09.239
You're going to reap frustration.
00:03:09.305 --> 00:03:10.340
Frustration. [that's right.]
00:03:10.406 --> 00:03:11.407
[that's right.] he says there's two ways
00:03:11.474 --> 00:03:12.408
He says there's two ways that you can sow.
00:03:12.475 --> 00:03:13.276
That you can sow. you can sow from the flesh,
00:03:13.343 --> 00:03:14.577
You can sow from the flesh, which brings corruption.
00:03:14.644 --> 00:03:17.280
Which brings corruption. the flesh never brings
00:03:17.347 --> 00:03:18.248
The flesh never brings anything good.
00:03:18.314 --> 00:03:19.015
Anything good. why?
00:03:19.082 --> 00:03:19.549
Why? because it's constantly
00:03:19.616 --> 00:03:20.450
Because it's constantly rotting.
00:03:20.516 --> 00:03:21.084
Rotting. that's what corruption means.
00:03:21.150 --> 00:03:22.452
That's what corruption means. [yes.]
00:03:22.518 --> 00:03:24.320
[yes.] he said,
00:03:24.387 --> 00:03:25.021
He said, "or you can sow from
00:03:25.088 --> 00:03:25.655
"or you can sow from the spirit,
00:03:25.722 --> 00:03:26.723
The spirit, from which you reap
00:03:26.789 --> 00:03:27.824
From which you reap everlasting life."
00:03:27.890 --> 00:03:28.958
Everlasting life." [hallelujah.]
00:03:29.025 --> 00:03:30.460
[hallelujah.] the fruit that god wants you
00:03:30.526 --> 00:03:31.661
The fruit that god wants you to grow is planted in
00:03:31.728 --> 00:03:32.762
To grow is planted in his grace,
00:03:32.829 --> 00:03:34.297
His grace, and it's produced by
00:03:34.364 --> 00:03:35.198
And it's produced by your faith,
00:03:35.265 --> 00:03:36.766
Your faith, and it brings a harvest
00:03:36.833 --> 00:03:38.134
And it brings a harvest of love.
00:03:38.201 --> 00:03:39.669
Of love. that's why jesus said
00:03:39.736 --> 00:03:40.603
That's why jesus said in john 15:8,
00:03:40.670 --> 00:03:41.971
In john 15:8, "by this,
00:03:42.038 --> 00:03:42.739
"by this, my father is glorified --"
00:03:42.805 --> 00:03:44.641
My father is glorified --" what?
00:03:44.707 --> 00:03:45.475
What? "-- that you bear,"
00:03:45.541 --> 00:03:46.709
"-- that you bear," say it with me,
00:03:46.776 --> 00:03:47.777
Say it with me, "much fruit."
00:03:47.844 --> 00:03:50.246
"much fruit." and the fruit is love,
00:03:50.313 --> 00:03:51.681
And the fruit is love, which is why verse 12 says,
00:03:51.748 --> 00:03:53.049
Which is why verse 12 says, "this is my commandment,
00:03:53.116 --> 00:03:54.917
"this is my commandment, that you love one another
00:03:54.984 --> 00:03:57.754
That you love one another as i have loved you."
00:03:57.820 --> 00:04:01.224
As i have loved you." [yes.]
00:04:01.291 --> 00:04:01.958
[yes.] now this is where we need
00:04:02.025 --> 00:04:02.725
Now this is where we need the holy spirit to open up
00:04:02.792 --> 00:04:04.661
The holy spirit to open up the lock and help us
00:04:04.727 --> 00:04:06.195
The lock and help us understand this kind of love.
00:04:06.262 --> 00:04:07.730
Understand this kind of love. because we talk about love,
00:04:07.797 --> 00:04:09.098
Because we talk about love, but we don't understand love.
00:04:09.165 --> 00:04:12.502
But we don't understand love. our kind of love in our kind
00:04:12.568 --> 00:04:14.771
Our kind of love in our kind of thinking is transactional.
00:04:14.837 --> 00:04:18.608
Of thinking is transactional. we love people because of what
00:04:18.675 --> 00:04:20.376
We love people because of what they do for us.
00:04:20.443 --> 00:04:21.277
They do for us. and they love us because of
00:04:21.344 --> 00:04:22.712
And they love us because of what we do for them,
00:04:22.779 --> 00:04:25.648
What we do for them, even if you don't want to
00:04:25.715 --> 00:04:26.549
Even if you don't want to admit it.
00:04:26.616 --> 00:04:28.851
Admit it. but the kind of love that's
00:04:28.918 --> 00:04:29.719
But the kind of love that's being spoken about here
00:04:29.786 --> 00:04:31.187
Being spoken about here in this verse,
00:04:31.254 --> 00:04:31.888
In this verse, "this is my commandment
00:04:31.954 --> 00:04:32.889
"this is my commandment that you love one another
00:04:32.955 --> 00:04:35.091
That you love one another as i have loved you,"
00:04:35.158 --> 00:04:36.659
As i have loved you," is not transactional;
00:04:36.726 --> 00:04:38.127
Is not transactional; it's sacrificial.
00:04:38.194 --> 00:04:40.263
It's sacrificial. this is the kind of love
00:04:40.330 --> 00:04:41.798
This is the kind of love that does not expect anything
00:04:41.864 --> 00:04:44.500
That does not expect anything in return from the person
00:04:44.567 --> 00:04:46.336
In return from the person that you are loving.
00:04:46.402 --> 00:04:47.537
That you are loving. [that's right.]
00:04:47.603 --> 00:04:49.405
[that's right.] and that's a different kind
00:04:49.472 --> 00:04:51.607
And that's a different kind of love.
00:04:51.674 --> 00:04:54.110
Of love. think about it.
00:04:54.177 --> 00:04:55.211
Think about it. i do not expect or require
00:04:55.278 --> 00:04:58.147
I do not expect or require anything from you,
00:04:58.214 --> 00:05:00.850
Anything from you, but i still love you.
00:05:00.917 --> 00:05:02.418
But i still love you. [yes.]
00:05:02.485 --> 00:05:03.319
[yes.] now in order to identify
00:05:03.386 --> 00:05:04.787
Now in order to identify the roots of god's love,
00:05:04.854 --> 00:05:06.189
The roots of god's love, you need to go to
00:05:06.255 --> 00:05:06.823
You need to go to 1 corinthians 13:1 through 4.
00:05:06.889 --> 00:05:10.426
1 corinthians 13:1 through 4. this is the description of how
00:05:10.493 --> 00:05:11.661
This is the description of how god and his son, jesus christ,
00:05:11.728 --> 00:05:13.663
God and his son, jesus christ, loved you.
00:05:13.730 --> 00:05:16.632
Loved you. and this is the way that
00:05:16.699 --> 00:05:17.266
And this is the way that he expects us to love others.
00:05:17.333 --> 00:05:21.971
He expects us to love others. and in order to understand
00:05:22.038 --> 00:05:23.339
And in order to understand this kind of love,
00:05:23.406 --> 00:05:24.207
This kind of love, you've got to have
00:05:24.273 --> 00:05:24.741
You've got to have the holy spirit help you
00:05:24.807 --> 00:05:25.942
The holy spirit help you hear it,
00:05:26.008 --> 00:05:26.442
Hear it, because you won't get it
00:05:26.509 --> 00:05:28.144
Because you won't get it in your own strength.
00:05:28.211 --> 00:05:30.713
In your own strength. for example,
00:05:30.780 --> 00:05:31.247
For example, this issue of patient
00:05:31.314 --> 00:05:32.515
This issue of patient and kind,
00:05:32.582 --> 00:05:34.650
And kind, sounds nice.
00:05:34.717 --> 00:05:36.219
Sounds nice. [yes.]
00:05:36.285 --> 00:05:37.520
[yes.] but the reality of it is,
00:05:37.587 --> 00:05:38.554
But the reality of it is, is patient is not really
00:05:38.621 --> 00:05:40.223
Is patient is not really a good interpretation.
00:05:40.289 --> 00:05:42.725
A good interpretation. as a matter of fact,
00:05:42.792 --> 00:05:43.292
As a matter of fact, in galatians and in some
00:05:43.359 --> 00:05:46.396
In galatians and in some translations of the bible,
00:05:46.462 --> 00:05:47.330
Translations of the bible, it says,
00:05:47.397 --> 00:05:48.297
It says, "love is longsuffering."
00:05:48.364 --> 00:05:51.801
"love is longsuffering." and the difference between
00:05:51.868 --> 00:05:52.702
And the difference between patience and longsuffering
00:05:52.769 --> 00:05:54.270
Patience and longsuffering is simply this:
00:05:54.337 --> 00:05:56.639
Is simply this: patience is your willingness
00:05:56.706 --> 00:06:00.710
Patience is your willingness to wait.
00:06:00.777 --> 00:06:02.578
To wait. longsuffering is your ability
00:06:02.645 --> 00:06:06.082
Longsuffering is your ability to endure quietly without
00:06:06.149 --> 00:06:08.017
To endure quietly without letting the other person know
00:06:08.084 --> 00:06:09.485
Letting the other person know it's bothering you.
00:06:09.552 --> 00:06:10.987
It's bothering you. [yes.]
00:06:11.053 --> 00:06:11.521
[yes.] [come on.]
00:06:11.587 --> 00:06:12.255
[come on.] [yes.]
00:06:12.321 --> 00:06:13.556
[yes.] that's different.
00:06:13.623 --> 00:06:14.557
That's different. [yes, very.]
00:06:14.624 --> 00:06:15.792
[yes, very.] you ever heard somebody say,
00:06:15.858 --> 00:06:16.559
You ever heard somebody say, "don't try my patience"?
00:06:16.626 --> 00:06:18.694
"don't try my patience"? (laughter)
00:06:18.761 --> 00:06:20.296
(laughter) what they're saying is,
00:06:20.363 --> 00:06:20.997
What they're saying is, you're getting to the end of
00:06:21.063 --> 00:06:22.131
You're getting to the end of my ability to wait.
00:06:22.198 --> 00:06:23.466
My ability to wait. [yes.]
00:06:23.533 --> 00:06:24.167
[yes.] but longsuffering says,
00:06:24.233 --> 00:06:25.268
But longsuffering says, "you're not even going to know
00:06:25.334 --> 00:06:26.068
"you're not even going to know it bothers me.
00:06:26.135 --> 00:06:26.736
It bothers me. i'm just going to set here
00:06:26.803 --> 00:06:27.770
I'm just going to set here and --"
00:06:27.837 --> 00:06:28.438
And --" [that's right.]
00:06:28.504 --> 00:06:29.505
[that's right.] "-- wait."
00:06:29.572 --> 00:06:31.140
"-- wait." [there you go.]
00:06:31.207 --> 00:06:32.975
[there you go.] think about jesus'
00:06:33.042 --> 00:06:34.310
Think about jesus' longsuffering with
00:06:34.377 --> 00:06:35.478
Longsuffering with the disciples.
00:06:35.545 --> 00:06:37.380
The disciples. he would teach them these
00:06:37.447 --> 00:06:38.514
He would teach them these marvelous lessons of truth,
00:06:38.581 --> 00:06:39.816
Marvelous lessons of truth, and they would look at him
00:06:39.882 --> 00:06:40.483
And they would look at him and go,
00:06:40.550 --> 00:06:41.250
And go, "we don't get it."
00:06:41.317 --> 00:06:43.419
"we don't get it." he didn't go, "uh."
00:06:43.486 --> 00:06:44.587
He didn't go, "uh." (slaps his head)
00:06:44.654 --> 00:06:45.455
(slaps his head) (laughter)
00:06:45.521 --> 00:06:47.690
(laughter) he'd just keep right on
00:06:47.757 --> 00:06:48.458
He'd just keep right on walking,
00:06:48.524 --> 00:06:48.958
Walking, right on teaching,
00:06:49.025 --> 00:06:49.625
Right on teaching, right on talking.
00:06:49.692 --> 00:06:52.728
Right on talking. he was suffering
00:06:52.795 --> 00:06:54.597
He was suffering their ignorance,
00:06:54.664 --> 00:06:55.465
Their ignorance, but they never knew it,
00:06:55.531 --> 00:06:57.667
But they never knew it, because he loved them.
00:06:57.733 --> 00:06:59.969
Because he loved them. "love is kind."
00:07:00.036 --> 00:07:02.405
"love is kind." "kindness" means a desire to
00:07:02.472 --> 00:07:05.041
"kindness" means a desire to help and not to hurt.
00:07:05.107 --> 00:07:08.177
Help and not to hurt. and the thing about kindness
00:07:08.244 --> 00:07:10.546
And the thing about kindness is that you don't often have
00:07:10.613 --> 00:07:11.881
Is that you don't often have the ability to discern
00:07:11.948 --> 00:07:13.382
The ability to discern when someone is being kind
00:07:13.449 --> 00:07:15.084
When someone is being kind in the moment.
00:07:15.151 --> 00:07:16.819
In the moment. why?
00:07:16.886 --> 00:07:19.822
Why? because the bible says
00:07:19.889 --> 00:07:20.656
Because the bible says in proverbs 27:6,
00:07:20.723 --> 00:07:22.959
In proverbs 27:6, "faithful are the wounds
00:07:23.025 --> 00:07:25.161
"faithful are the wounds of a friend,
00:07:25.228 --> 00:07:26.028
Of a friend, but the kisses of an enemy
00:07:26.095 --> 00:07:27.964
But the kisses of an enemy are deceitful."
00:07:28.030 --> 00:07:29.098
Are deceitful." [that's right.]
00:07:29.165 --> 00:07:30.233
[that's right.] sometimes someone's
00:07:30.299 --> 00:07:31.467
Sometimes someone's kissing you,
00:07:31.534 --> 00:07:32.168
Kissing you, and you think,
00:07:32.235 --> 00:07:32.869
And you think, "oh, that's kind."
00:07:32.935 --> 00:07:33.669
"oh, that's kind." but the truth is that kiss is
00:07:33.736 --> 00:07:34.937
But the truth is that kiss is intended for your harm,
00:07:35.004 --> 00:07:36.038
Intended for your harm, not your help.
00:07:36.105 --> 00:07:39.141
Not your help. and other times,
00:07:39.208 --> 00:07:39.976
And other times, somebody is saying something
00:07:40.042 --> 00:07:41.644
Somebody is saying something that confronts you,
00:07:41.711 --> 00:07:43.246
That confronts you, and you think,
00:07:43.312 --> 00:07:43.713
And you think, "well, that was rude.
00:07:43.779 --> 00:07:44.714
"well, that was rude. that's not very kind."
00:07:44.780 --> 00:07:45.715
That's not very kind." but the truth is
00:07:45.781 --> 00:07:46.415
But the truth is if their confrontation is for
00:07:46.482 --> 00:07:47.783
If their confrontation is for your help,
00:07:47.850 --> 00:07:48.618
Your help, you should thank them.
00:07:48.684 --> 00:07:49.919
You should thank them. [that's right.]
00:07:49.986 --> 00:07:50.887
[that's right.] [that's right.]
00:07:50.953 --> 00:07:51.487
[that's right.] [amen.]
00:07:51.554 --> 00:07:52.054
[amen.] "love does not envy."
00:07:52.121 --> 00:07:54.757
"love does not envy." love celebrates someone else's
00:07:54.824 --> 00:07:56.826
Love celebrates someone else's success.
00:07:56.893 --> 00:07:58.027
Success. [yes.]
00:07:58.094 --> 00:07:58.794
[yes.] [yes.]
00:07:58.861 --> 00:07:59.495
[yes.] [amen.]
00:07:59.562 --> 00:08:00.229
[amen.] you're going to find out how
00:08:00.296 --> 00:08:00.930
You're going to find out how much you love somebody
00:08:00.997 --> 00:08:02.331
Much you love somebody the next time that they get
00:08:02.398 --> 00:08:03.432
The next time that they get a promotion or buy a bigger
00:08:03.499 --> 00:08:04.600
A promotion or buy a bigger house or have something that
00:08:04.667 --> 00:08:05.801
House or have something that you don't have.
00:08:05.868 --> 00:08:08.204
You don't have. because if you can truly
00:08:08.271 --> 00:08:09.138
Because if you can truly celebrate it,
00:08:09.205 --> 00:08:10.072
Celebrate it, then you're not envious of
00:08:10.139 --> 00:08:11.440
Then you're not envious of their success.
00:08:11.507 --> 00:08:12.875
Their success. [that's right.]
00:08:12.942 --> 00:08:13.643
[that's right.] [that's right.]
00:08:13.709 --> 00:08:14.377
[that's right.] "love does not parade itself."
00:08:14.443 --> 00:08:15.611
"love does not parade itself." love doesn't think that you're
00:08:15.678 --> 00:08:16.879
Love doesn't think that you're a big deal.
00:08:16.946 --> 00:08:18.581
A big deal. "love is not puffed up."
00:08:18.648 --> 00:08:20.016
"love is not puffed up." love not being puffed up means
00:08:20.082 --> 00:08:22.552
Love not being puffed up means that it's not snobbish.
00:08:22.618 --> 00:08:23.786
That it's not snobbish. it doesn't think that it's
00:08:23.853 --> 00:08:25.221
It doesn't think that it's too good to be around
00:08:25.288 --> 00:08:26.656
Too good to be around other people.
00:08:26.722 --> 00:08:27.790
Other people. [there you go.]
00:08:27.857 --> 00:08:29.191
[there you go.] this is how love overcomes
00:08:29.258 --> 00:08:30.426
This is how love overcomes bias and racism,
00:08:30.493 --> 00:08:31.894
Bias and racism, because it doesn't look at
00:08:31.961 --> 00:08:32.728
Because it doesn't look at someone who's different
00:08:32.795 --> 00:08:33.696
Someone who's different and say,
00:08:33.763 --> 00:08:34.363
And say, "well, i can't love you
00:08:34.430 --> 00:08:35.298
"well, i can't love you because you're not like me."
00:08:35.364 --> 00:08:36.532
Because you're not like me." [yes.]
00:08:36.599 --> 00:08:37.433
[yes.] "love is not rude."
00:08:37.500 --> 00:08:39.001
"love is not rude." it's not disruptive.
00:08:39.068 --> 00:08:40.870
It's not disruptive. "love doesn't seek its own."
00:08:40.937 --> 00:08:42.204
"love doesn't seek its own." it's always giving.
00:08:42.271 --> 00:08:43.472
It's always giving. it's never seeking to receive.
00:08:43.539 --> 00:08:45.708
It's never seeking to receive. "love is not provoked."
00:08:45.775 --> 00:08:47.376
"love is not provoked." this is one of my favorite
00:08:47.443 --> 00:08:48.444
This is one of my favorite ones,
00:08:48.511 --> 00:08:49.145
Ones, because it's something that
00:08:49.211 --> 00:08:49.979
Because it's something that most people don't think about
00:08:50.046 --> 00:08:51.047
Most people don't think about when it comes to love.
00:08:51.113 --> 00:08:51.881
When it comes to love. "love is not provoked."
00:08:51.948 --> 00:08:53.783
"love is not provoked." that means that love is not
00:08:53.849 --> 00:08:55.484
That means that love is not overly sensitive.
00:08:55.551 --> 00:08:58.120
Overly sensitive. it's got tough enough skin
00:08:58.187 --> 00:09:00.756
It's got tough enough skin to endure an offense
00:09:00.823 --> 00:09:02.692
To endure an offense and keep loving you.
00:09:02.758 --> 00:09:04.293
And keep loving you. [yes.]
00:09:04.360 --> 00:09:04.627
[yes.] when you start loving other
00:09:04.694 --> 00:09:05.628
When you start loving other people like that,
00:09:05.695 --> 00:09:06.495
People like that, you're going to spend
00:09:06.562 --> 00:09:07.163
You're going to spend a lot less time offended.
00:09:07.229 --> 00:09:09.565
A lot less time offended. [amen.]
00:09:09.632 --> 00:09:10.600
[amen.] "love does not rejoice in
00:09:10.666 --> 00:09:12.101
"love does not rejoice in iniquity."
00:09:12.168 --> 00:09:12.802
Iniquity." here's another one to think
00:09:12.868 --> 00:09:13.603
Here's another one to think about.
00:09:13.669 --> 00:09:15.004
About. "love does not rejoice in
00:09:15.071 --> 00:09:16.939
"love does not rejoice in iniquity."
00:09:17.006 --> 00:09:17.406
Iniquity." that's what the bible says.
00:09:17.473 --> 00:09:19.075
That's what the bible says. here we call it
00:09:19.141 --> 00:09:19.842
Here we call it "thinks no evil
00:09:19.909 --> 00:09:20.576
"thinks no evil and does not rejoice in sin.
00:09:20.643 --> 00:09:22.078
And does not rejoice in sin. it celebrates truth."
00:09:22.144 --> 00:09:24.814
It celebrates truth." don't say you love somebody,
00:09:24.880 --> 00:09:26.682
Don't say you love somebody, and then look for fault
00:09:26.749 --> 00:09:28.584
And then look for fault in that somebody.
00:09:28.651 --> 00:09:30.086
In that somebody. [amen.]
00:09:30.152 --> 00:09:30.820
[amen.] don't say you love somebody,
00:09:30.886 --> 00:09:32.221
Don't say you love somebody, and then go try and dig up
00:09:32.288 --> 00:09:33.456
And then go try and dig up dirt on that somebody.
00:09:33.522 --> 00:09:35.925
Dirt on that somebody. that's your desire to find out
00:09:35.992 --> 00:09:37.393
That's your desire to find out things that are harmful about
00:09:37.460 --> 00:09:38.761
Things that are harmful about that person so that you can
00:09:38.828 --> 00:09:39.862
That person so that you can use them for your purposes
00:09:39.929 --> 00:09:41.197
Use them for your purposes later.
00:09:41.263 --> 00:09:41.764
Later. that's not giving.
00:09:41.831 --> 00:09:42.665
That's not giving. that's taking.
00:09:42.732 --> 00:09:43.899
That's taking. [yes.]
00:09:43.966 --> 00:09:46.102
[yes.] here's the thing that's
00:09:46.168 --> 00:09:46.736
Here's the thing that's remarkable about it.
00:09:46.802 --> 00:09:47.937
Remarkable about it. jesus knows everything about
00:09:48.004 --> 00:09:49.372
Jesus knows everything about every one of us.
00:09:49.438 --> 00:09:50.473
Every one of us. [yes, he does.]
00:09:50.539 --> 00:09:51.440
[yes, he does.] [yes.]
00:09:51.507 --> 00:09:52.074
[yes.] he doesn't need somebody to
00:09:52.141 --> 00:09:53.209
He doesn't need somebody to fill in the blanks.
00:09:53.275 --> 00:09:54.243
Fill in the blanks. he knows them all.
00:09:54.310 --> 00:09:55.478
He knows them all. [yes.]
00:09:55.544 --> 00:09:56.746
[yes.] and the bible says,
00:09:56.812 --> 00:09:57.313
And the bible says, he doesn't rejoice in
00:09:57.380 --> 00:09:58.280
He doesn't rejoice in any of it.
00:09:58.347 --> 00:10:00.850
Any of it. all he thinks about is not
00:10:00.916 --> 00:10:02.551
All he thinks about is not what you are,
00:10:02.618 --> 00:10:03.119
What you are, but what you could be.
00:10:03.185 --> 00:10:05.955
But what you could be. if you plant your life
00:10:06.022 --> 00:10:07.256
If you plant your life in christ,
00:10:07.323 --> 00:10:08.357
In christ, in god's grace,
00:10:08.424 --> 00:10:09.425
In god's grace, in faith,
00:10:09.492 --> 00:10:10.192
In faith, and these are your roots,
00:10:10.259 --> 00:10:14.296
And these are your roots, then the fruit of the spirit
00:10:14.363 --> 00:10:15.998
Then the fruit of the spirit is going to be what you
00:10:16.065 --> 00:10:16.966
Is going to be what you produce.
00:10:17.033 --> 00:10:18.567
Produce. jesus, in john 15,
00:10:18.634 --> 00:10:20.269
Jesus, in john 15, he said,
00:10:20.336 --> 00:10:20.903
He said, "you didn't choose me.
00:10:20.970 --> 00:10:21.837
"you didn't choose me. i chose you...
00:10:21.904 --> 00:10:22.805
I chose you... that you should bear fruit
00:10:22.872 --> 00:10:24.006
That you should bear fruit and that your fruit should
00:10:24.073 --> 00:10:25.541
And that your fruit should remain."
00:10:25.608 --> 00:10:26.142
Remain." in matthew 12:33, it says,
00:10:26.208 --> 00:10:28.978
In matthew 12:33, it says, "the tree is known by its --"
00:10:29.045 --> 00:10:30.513
"the tree is known by its --" what?
00:10:30.579 --> 00:10:31.347
What? "-- fruit."
00:10:31.414 --> 00:10:33.315
"-- fruit." you can't claim that you've
00:10:33.382 --> 00:10:34.684
You can't claim that you've got the fruit of the spirit,
00:10:34.750 --> 00:10:36.152
Got the fruit of the spirit, and all that follows you
00:10:36.218 --> 00:10:37.253
And all that follows you is chaos,
00:10:37.319 --> 00:10:37.987
Is chaos, confusion,
00:10:38.054 --> 00:10:38.721
Confusion, division,
00:10:38.788 --> 00:10:39.355
Division, anxiety,
00:10:39.422 --> 00:10:40.122
Anxiety, and depression.
00:10:40.189 --> 00:10:42.525
And depression. you can't tell somebody,
00:10:42.591 --> 00:10:43.659
You can't tell somebody, "i'm growing in christ,"
00:10:43.726 --> 00:10:45.127
"i'm growing in christ," and everything in your life
00:10:45.194 --> 00:10:46.195
And everything in your life is a crime scene.
00:10:46.262 --> 00:10:47.563
Is a crime scene. [amen!]
00:10:47.630 --> 00:10:48.731
[amen!] (laughter)
00:10:48.798 --> 00:10:50.566
(laughter) the lusts of the flesh,
00:10:50.633 --> 00:10:51.867
The lusts of the flesh, based on paul's writings
00:10:51.934 --> 00:10:53.469
Based on paul's writings in galatians 5,
00:10:53.536 --> 00:10:55.204
In galatians 5, are a list that most of us
00:10:55.271 --> 00:10:56.472
Are a list that most of us think that we're not on.
00:10:56.539 --> 00:10:57.807
Think that we're not on. but if you take a second look,
00:10:57.873 --> 00:10:58.908
But if you take a second look, you'll find yourself in it.
00:10:58.974 --> 00:11:01.477
You'll find yourself in it. the lusts of the flesh start
00:11:01.544 --> 00:11:03.345
The lusts of the flesh start with moral sins.
00:11:03.412 --> 00:11:05.314
With moral sins. let's take a look at this tree
00:11:05.381 --> 00:11:06.682
Let's take a look at this tree and see how much fruit we can
00:11:06.749 --> 00:11:07.983
And see how much fruit we can identify.
00:11:08.050 --> 00:11:08.951
Identify. these are the sins that you
00:11:09.018 --> 00:11:10.319
These are the sins that you commit in your moral self.
00:11:10.386 --> 00:11:14.824
Commit in your moral self. and it starts with immorality,
00:11:14.890 --> 00:11:16.992
And it starts with immorality, "adultery."
00:11:17.059 --> 00:11:17.860
"adultery." jesus said,
00:11:17.927 --> 00:11:18.494
Jesus said, "if anybody looks on a woman
00:11:18.561 --> 00:11:19.795
"if anybody looks on a woman with lust in his heart,
00:11:19.862 --> 00:11:20.730
With lust in his heart, he's committed adultery."
00:11:20.796 --> 00:11:22.031
He's committed adultery." [that's right.]
00:11:22.098 --> 00:11:23.999
[that's right.] immorality includes
00:11:24.066 --> 00:11:26.902
Immorality includes fornication,
00:11:26.969 --> 00:11:28.871
Fornication, which is hidden.
00:11:28.938 --> 00:11:31.540
Which is hidden. it's immoral things that you
00:11:31.607 --> 00:11:32.942
It's immoral things that you do that you don't want others
00:11:33.008 --> 00:11:34.043
Do that you don't want others to know about.
00:11:34.110 --> 00:11:34.810
To know about. immorality in the greek is
00:11:34.877 --> 00:11:36.345
Immorality in the greek is actually translated "pornia"
00:11:36.412 --> 00:11:38.481
Actually translated "pornia" from where we get the word
00:11:38.547 --> 00:11:39.615
From where we get the word "pornography."
00:11:39.682 --> 00:11:42.051
"pornography." how much is pornography had
00:11:42.118 --> 00:11:44.453
How much is pornography had its grip on this generation?
00:11:44.520 --> 00:11:47.022
Its grip on this generation? [that's
00:11:47.089 --> 00:11:47.323
I grew up surrounded by
00:11:47.857 --> 00:11:49.191
Chaos, addiction.
00:11:49.191 --> 00:11:51.694
By 16, i was lost, spiraling.
00:11:51.694 --> 00:11:54.663
And then i found out
00:11:55.097 --> 00:11:56.699
I was pregnant.
00:11:56.699 --> 00:11:58.234
I searched online for help.
00:11:58.234 --> 00:12:00.202
And that's
00:12:00.202 --> 00:12:00.636
When i found
00:12:00.636 --> 00:12:01.137
The sanctuary of hope.
00:12:01.137 --> 00:12:02.605
The moment i arrived,
00:12:02.605 --> 00:12:04.273
I felt peace.
00:12:04.273 --> 00:12:05.941
Real peace.
00:12:05.941 --> 00:12:07.376
For the first time in my life.
00:12:07.376 --> 00:12:09.712
My life
00:12:09.712 --> 00:12:10.880
And my baby's life changed.
00:12:10.880 --> 00:12:13.549
Because someone cared enough
00:12:13.549 --> 00:12:15.117
To give.
00:12:15.117 --> 00:12:16.719
Today, you can help
00:12:16.719 --> 00:12:17.987
Change another story.
00:12:17.987 --> 00:12:19.155
With your gift of any amount,
00:12:19.155 --> 00:12:20.856
You'll receive the 40 day
00:12:20.856 --> 00:12:22.324

Problem, provision
00:12:23.793 --> 00:12:25.427
And a sanctuary of hope
00:12:25.427 --> 00:12:27.029
Swivel keychain.

And with your generous gift
00:12:28.330 --> 00:12:29.832

We'll also send you
00:12:31.967 --> 00:12:33.235
A beautiful acrylic
00:12:33.235 --> 00:12:34.470
Box of scriptures
00:12:34.470 --> 00:12:35.771
And a set of 19
00:12:35.771 --> 00:12:37.273
Hand-drawn thank you cards,
00:12:37.273 --> 00:12:38.107
Created by soh residents.
00:12:38.107 --> 00:12:40.543
Call the number on
00:12:40.543 --> 00:12:41.443
Screen or go to jhm.org/hope
00:12:41.443 --> 00:12:46.448
There is hidden immorality,
00:12:46.515 --> 00:12:48.450
There is hidden immorality, and then there's outward
00:12:48.517 --> 00:12:49.785
And then there's outward immorality.
00:12:49.852 --> 00:12:50.519
Immorality. that's called "uncleanliness."
00:12:50.586 --> 00:12:53.289
That's called "uncleanliness." uncleanliness is willing to
00:12:53.355 --> 00:12:55.090
Uncleanliness is willing to say, "you know what?
00:12:55.157 --> 00:12:56.091
Say, "you know what? i don't care if people know
00:12:56.158 --> 00:12:57.393
I don't care if people know or they don't know.
00:12:57.459 --> 00:12:58.260
Or they don't know. i'm actually going to parade
00:12:58.327 --> 00:12:59.395
I'm actually going to parade myself,"
00:12:59.461 --> 00:13:01.063
Myself," which leads to lewdness
00:13:01.130 --> 00:13:02.565
Which leads to lewdness and vulgarity,
00:13:02.631 --> 00:13:03.666
And vulgarity, which is such a public
00:13:03.732 --> 00:13:04.733
Which is such a public and prominent demonstration
00:13:04.800 --> 00:13:06.502
And prominent demonstration of your immorality,
00:13:06.569 --> 00:13:07.903
Of your immorality, that you're proud of it.
00:13:07.970 --> 00:13:10.906
That you're proud of it. you parade it down the street.
00:13:10.973 --> 00:13:13.943
You parade it down the street. you want other people to know
00:13:14.009 --> 00:13:15.444
You want other people to know that this is how immoral
00:13:15.511 --> 00:13:17.146
That this is how immoral you are,
00:13:17.213 --> 00:13:17.880
You are, and then you want to claim
00:13:17.947 --> 00:13:18.981
And then you want to claim that you're a marginalized
00:13:19.048 --> 00:13:20.349
That you're a marginalized minority that deserves special
00:13:20.416 --> 00:13:22.017
Minority that deserves special treatment because of
00:13:22.084 --> 00:13:22.785
Treatment because of your foolish and unnatural
00:13:22.852 --> 00:13:24.687
Your foolish and unnatural decisions
00:13:24.753 --> 00:13:25.554
Decisions instead of your character.
00:13:25.621 --> 00:13:27.323
Instead of your character. [yes.]
00:13:27.389 --> 00:13:27.957
[yes.] (applause)
00:13:28.023 --> 00:13:32.795
(applause) then there's spiritual sins.
00:13:32.862 --> 00:13:35.164
Then there's spiritual sins. don't think this is all
00:13:35.231 --> 00:13:35.998
Don't think this is all that's growing in this tree.
00:13:36.065 --> 00:13:36.799
That's growing in this tree. there's another side to
00:13:36.866 --> 00:13:37.566
There's another side to the tree.
00:13:37.633 --> 00:13:38.767
The tree. (laughter)
00:13:38.834 --> 00:13:40.236
(laughter) spiritual sins are the sins
00:13:40.302 --> 00:13:41.437
Spiritual sins are the sins against god,
00:13:41.503 --> 00:13:42.271
Against god, idolatry.
00:13:42.338 --> 00:13:43.873
Idolatry. anything that you love more
00:13:43.939 --> 00:13:45.507
Anything that you love more than jesus is an idol.
00:13:45.574 --> 00:13:47.243
Than jesus is an idol. [yes.]
00:13:47.309 --> 00:13:48.844
[yes.] samuel told saul,
00:13:48.911 --> 00:13:50.145
Samuel told saul, "the sin of stubbornness
00:13:50.212 --> 00:13:51.881
"the sin of stubbornness is as idolatry."
00:13:51.947 --> 00:13:52.848
Is as idolatry." when you put your will above
00:13:52.915 --> 00:13:54.250
When you put your will above god's will,
00:13:54.316 --> 00:13:54.984
God's will, your will is the idol.
00:13:55.050 --> 00:13:58.020
Your will is the idol. "hatred,
00:13:58.087 --> 00:13:59.955
"hatred, contention."
00:14:00.022 --> 00:14:01.757
Contention." "contention" is the spirit of
00:14:01.824 --> 00:14:03.259
"contention" is the spirit of disagreement.
00:14:03.325 --> 00:14:03.959
Disagreement. "well, i don't agree
00:14:04.026 --> 00:14:04.793
"well, i don't agree with you."
00:14:04.860 --> 00:14:05.494
With you." why?
00:14:05.561 --> 00:14:06.195
Why? "because i like it."
00:14:06.262 --> 00:14:07.663
"because i like it." (laughter)
00:14:07.730 --> 00:14:08.297
(laughter) and you've got people around
00:14:08.364 --> 00:14:09.064
And you've got people around you right now who are
00:14:09.131 --> 00:14:09.965
You right now who are that way.
00:14:10.032 --> 00:14:11.200
That way. [amen.]
00:14:11.267 --> 00:14:12.434
[amen.] the grass is green.
00:14:12.501 --> 00:14:13.669
The grass is green. "i don't think so."
00:14:13.736 --> 00:14:15.404
"i don't think so." (laughter)
00:14:15.471 --> 00:14:16.338
(laughter) "jealousy."
00:14:16.405 --> 00:14:17.840
"jealousy." jealousy is when you want
00:14:17.907 --> 00:14:19.441
Jealousy is when you want what someone else has,
00:14:19.508 --> 00:14:20.542
What someone else has, and you're willing to take
00:14:20.609 --> 00:14:21.310
And you're willing to take action to get it from them.
00:14:21.377 --> 00:14:23.145
Action to get it from them. [amen.]
00:14:23.212 --> 00:14:24.179
[amen.] "wrath."
00:14:24.246 --> 00:14:25.514
"wrath." you ever seen anybody use
00:14:25.581 --> 00:14:26.548
You ever seen anybody use their temper to try
00:14:26.615 --> 00:14:27.616
Their temper to try and control somebody else?
00:14:27.683 --> 00:14:28.817
And control somebody else? [absolutely.]
00:14:28.884 --> 00:14:29.952
[absolutely.] [yes.]
00:14:30.019 --> 00:14:30.619
[yes.] that's intimidation
00:14:30.686 --> 00:14:31.487
That's intimidation and manipulation,
00:14:31.553 --> 00:14:32.288
And manipulation, which is as witchcraft.
00:14:32.354 --> 00:14:33.956
Which is as witchcraft. "selfish ambition."
00:14:34.023 --> 00:14:36.025
"selfish ambition." selfish ambition is making it
00:14:36.091 --> 00:14:37.726
Selfish ambition is making it look like you're serving
00:14:37.793 --> 00:14:38.961
Look like you're serving others,
00:14:39.028 --> 00:14:39.528
Others, but what you're really doing
00:14:39.595 --> 00:14:40.262
But what you're really doing is trying to position yourself
00:14:40.329 --> 00:14:41.563
Is trying to position yourself for recognition.
00:14:41.630 --> 00:14:45.768
For recognition. you starting to see more
00:14:45.834 --> 00:14:46.535
You starting to see more people you know on this list?
00:14:46.602 --> 00:14:49.238
People you know on this list? "dissension and heresy,"
00:14:49.305 --> 00:14:52.107
"dissension and heresy," trying to create division in
00:14:52.174 --> 00:14:53.642
Trying to create division in the body of christ and utilize
00:14:53.709 --> 00:14:55.544
The body of christ and utilize faults teaching to have it
00:14:55.611 --> 00:14:56.845
Faults teaching to have it your way instead of god's way.
00:14:56.912 --> 00:14:59.481
Your way instead of god's way. [amen.]
00:14:59.548 --> 00:15:01.283
[amen.] if it's in the fruit,
00:15:01.350 --> 00:15:03.652
If it's in the fruit, it's in the root.
00:15:03.719 --> 00:15:07.556
It's in the root. then paul says,
00:15:07.623 --> 00:15:08.457
Then paul says, "well, we're not done yet.
00:15:08.524 --> 00:15:09.692
"well, we're not done yet. there's also social sins."
00:15:09.758 --> 00:15:12.261
There's also social sins." let's go look at those.
00:15:12.328 --> 00:15:14.396
Let's go look at those. social sins are envy
00:15:14.463 --> 00:15:15.831
Social sins are envy and murder and drunkenness.
00:15:15.898 --> 00:15:17.232
And murder and drunkenness. these are easy to identify.
00:15:17.299 --> 00:15:20.602
These are easy to identify. but then he says
00:15:20.669 --> 00:15:21.303
But then he says there's revelry,
00:15:21.370 --> 00:15:23.238
There's revelry, which "revelry" is not a word
00:15:23.305 --> 00:15:24.473
Which "revelry" is not a word that we use much these days,
00:15:24.540 --> 00:15:25.808
That we use much these days, but it really means anything
00:15:25.874 --> 00:15:27.309
But it really means anything in your life that's out of
00:15:27.376 --> 00:15:28.544
In your life that's out of control that you indulge in,
00:15:28.610 --> 00:15:30.679
Control that you indulge in, that you like so much
00:15:30.746 --> 00:15:32.281
That you like so much that when you start,
00:15:32.348 --> 00:15:33.048
That when you start, you can't stop.
00:15:33.115 --> 00:15:35.117
You can't stop. so drunkenness,
00:15:35.184 --> 00:15:36.518
So drunkenness, it means you drank so much
00:15:36.585 --> 00:15:37.486
It means you drank so much alcohol that you're not
00:15:37.553 --> 00:15:38.520
Alcohol that you're not in control of yourself.
00:15:38.587 --> 00:15:40.022
In control of yourself. but how many people want
00:15:40.089 --> 00:15:41.423
But how many people want to say, "well,
00:15:41.490 --> 00:15:42.057
To say, "well, that drunkenness is wrong.
00:15:42.124 --> 00:15:43.025
That drunkenness is wrong. but if i eat a bucket of
00:15:43.092 --> 00:15:44.026
But if i eat a bucket of chicken,
00:15:44.093 --> 00:15:44.593
Chicken, that's okay"?
00:15:44.660 --> 00:15:45.961
That's okay"? (laughter)
00:15:46.028 --> 00:15:46.862
(laughter) maybe it's funding indulgence.
00:15:46.929 --> 00:15:49.098
Maybe it's funding indulgence. you ever know somebody that
00:15:49.164 --> 00:15:49.999
You ever know somebody that has to spend so much that they
00:15:50.065 --> 00:15:51.567
Has to spend so much that they feel good about it?
00:15:51.633 --> 00:15:54.603
Feel good about it? they get high off of maxing
00:15:54.670 --> 00:15:56.672
They get high off of maxing out a credit card.
00:15:56.739 --> 00:15:58.841
Out a credit card. (laughter)
00:15:58.907 --> 00:15:59.875
(laughter) you don't know why.
00:15:59.942 --> 00:16:01.243
You don't know why. [no.]
00:16:01.310 --> 00:16:01.877
[no.] but they do.
00:16:01.944 --> 00:16:03.445
But they do. (laughter)
00:16:03.512 --> 00:16:04.313
(laughter) they can't stop it.
00:16:04.380 --> 00:16:06.248
They can't stop it. "gossip."
00:16:06.315 --> 00:16:09.118
"gossip." some people are like
00:16:09.184 --> 00:16:09.852
Some people are like a shop-vac in a dust bowl.
00:16:09.918 --> 00:16:13.489
A shop-vac in a dust bowl. (laughter)
00:16:13.555 --> 00:16:13.956
(laughter) they just
00:16:14.023 --> 00:16:14.757
They just (makes sucking sound)
00:16:14.823 --> 00:16:15.724
(makes sucking sound) need to know as much dirt
00:16:15.791 --> 00:16:16.692
Need to know as much dirt as they can on everybody.
00:16:16.759 --> 00:16:19.995
As they can on everybody. these are revelries that
00:16:20.062 --> 00:16:22.631
These are revelries that paul says if they're present
00:16:22.698 --> 00:16:24.099
Paul says if they're present in your life,
00:16:24.166 --> 00:16:24.767
In your life, you've got a fruit problem.
00:16:24.833 --> 00:16:25.901
You've got a fruit problem. and if you've got a fruit
00:16:25.968 --> 00:16:26.802
And if you've got a fruit problem,
00:16:26.869 --> 00:16:27.770
Problem, you've got a root problem.
00:16:27.836 --> 00:16:30.739
You've got a root problem. jesus said in matthew 7:16,
00:16:30.806 --> 00:16:33.442
Jesus said in matthew 7:16, "you will know them
00:16:33.509 --> 00:16:35.144
"you will know them by their fruit."
00:16:35.210 --> 00:16:37.179
By their fruit." you can't hide it.
00:16:37.246 --> 00:16:38.213
You can't hide it. it's evident.
00:16:38.280 --> 00:16:40.983
It's evident. and if you're going to produce
00:16:41.050 --> 00:16:41.984
And if you're going to produce the kind of fruit that helps
00:16:42.051 --> 00:16:43.085
The kind of fruit that helps you outgrow depression,
00:16:43.152 --> 00:16:44.686
You outgrow depression, you can't do it on your own,
00:16:44.753 --> 00:16:46.622
You can't do it on your own, because these are the kinds of
00:16:46.688 --> 00:16:47.723
Because these are the kinds of fruits that your flesh
00:16:47.790 --> 00:16:48.924
Fruits that your flesh will produce.
00:16:48.991 --> 00:16:50.492
Will produce. [amen.]
00:16:50.559 --> 00:16:51.226
[amen.] you've got to be led by
00:16:51.293 --> 00:16:52.961
You've got to be led by the spirit.
00:16:53.028 --> 00:16:55.497
The spirit. and led by the spirit,
00:16:55.564 --> 00:16:56.732
And led by the spirit, you encounter god's love.
00:16:56.799 --> 00:16:59.501
You encounter god's love. encountering god's love,
00:16:59.568 --> 00:17:01.070
Encountering god's love, it takes root in your life.
00:17:01.136 --> 00:17:03.605
It takes root in your life. it takes root in your life,
00:17:03.672 --> 00:17:05.407
It takes root in your life, and it produces fruit.
00:17:05.474 --> 00:17:08.444
And it produces fruit. jesus said,
00:17:08.510 --> 00:17:09.011
Jesus said, "this fruit is how my father
00:17:09.078 --> 00:17:10.179
"this fruit is how my father is glorified."
00:17:10.245 --> 00:17:11.246
Is glorified." but then he lists the fruits
00:17:11.313 --> 00:17:12.815
But then he lists the fruits in paul's writing
00:17:12.881 --> 00:17:13.816
In paul's writing in galatians.
00:17:13.882 --> 00:17:15.184
In galatians. he said,
00:17:15.250 --> 00:17:15.684
He said, "the fruit of the spirit."
00:17:15.751 --> 00:17:16.785
"the fruit of the spirit." let's take a look at
00:17:16.852 --> 00:17:17.553
Let's take a look at this tree.
00:17:17.619 --> 00:17:19.721
This tree. it's grown in love,
00:17:19.788 --> 00:17:22.658
It's grown in love, love that never fails.
00:17:22.724 --> 00:17:25.227
Love that never fails. and it includes:
00:17:25.294 --> 00:17:25.928
And it includes: "love, joy,
00:17:25.994 --> 00:17:26.829
"love, joy, peace, longsuffering,
00:17:26.895 --> 00:17:28.163
Peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness,
00:17:28.230 --> 00:17:28.964
Kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness,
00:17:29.031 --> 00:17:30.732
Faithfulness, gentleness, self-control."
00:17:30.799 --> 00:17:32.901
Self-control." now if the roots are from
00:17:32.968 --> 00:17:35.471
Now if the roots are from corinthians,
00:17:35.537 --> 00:17:37.272
Corinthians, how many of you recognize
00:17:37.339 --> 00:17:38.707
How many of you recognize the fruit in galatians found
00:17:38.774 --> 00:17:42.344
The fruit in galatians found in the roots from corinthians?
00:17:42.411 --> 00:17:46.048
In the roots from corinthians? if it's in the root,
00:17:46.115 --> 00:17:48.050
If it's in the root, where can you find it?
00:17:48.117 --> 00:17:49.518
Where can you find it? in the fruit.
00:17:49.585 --> 00:17:51.987
In the fruit. if you grow in god's love,
00:17:52.054 --> 00:17:54.790
If you grow in god's love, you're going to grow love,
00:17:54.857 --> 00:17:56.892
You're going to grow love, which is an antidepressant;

Which is an antidepressant; joy,
00:17:58.594 --> 00:17:59.328

Which is an antidepressant; patience,

Antidepressant; self-control,

Self-control, which is a--

Which is a-- [antidepressant.]
00:18:21.016 --> 00:18:23.552
[antidepressant.] and you don't think that god's
00:18:23.619 --> 00:18:24.653
And you don't think that god's word can't cure what ails you?
00:18:24.720 --> 00:18:27.656
Word can't cure what ails you? [yes, it can.]
00:18:27.723 --> 00:18:29.391
[yes, it can.] he didn't say you grow
00:18:29.458 --> 00:18:30.425
He didn't say you grow love, joy, peace,
00:18:30.492 --> 00:18:31.226
Love, joy, peace, and a prescription.
00:18:31.293 --> 00:18:33.562
And a prescription. (laughter)
00:18:33.629 --> 00:18:35.030
(laughter) [touché.]
00:18:35.097 --> 00:18:35.664
[touché.] he said,
00:18:35.731 --> 00:18:36.365
He said, "plant yourself in my word
00:18:36.431 --> 00:18:37.766
"plant yourself in my word and my word abides in you,
00:18:37.833 --> 00:18:39.468
And my word abides in you, and my joy will be your joy,
00:18:39.535 --> 00:18:41.203
And my joy will be your joy, and your joy will be pull."
00:18:41.270 --> 00:18:43.572
And your joy will be pull." [amen.]
00:18:43.639 --> 00:18:44.106
[amen.] how is it evidenced?
00:18:44.173 --> 00:18:46.808
How is it evidenced? "that you love --" who?
00:18:46.875 --> 00:18:49.678
"that you love --" who? "-- one another."
00:18:49.745 --> 00:18:51.113
"-- one another." the fruit that the spirit
00:18:51.180 --> 00:18:52.915
The fruit that the spirit produces in your life is for
00:18:52.981 --> 00:18:55.918
Produces in your life is for the picking,
00:18:55.984 --> 00:18:57.920
The picking, not preserving.
00:18:57.986 --> 00:19:01.023
Not preserving. some people want love,
00:19:01.089 --> 00:19:02.157
Some people want love, joy, peace,
00:19:02.224 --> 00:19:02.925
Joy, peace, and they want to can it
00:19:02.991 --> 00:19:04.092
And they want to can it all for themselves.
00:19:04.159 --> 00:19:05.494
All for themselves. but trees don't grow fruit
00:19:05.561 --> 00:19:07.262
But trees don't grow fruit for themselves.
00:19:07.329 --> 00:19:07.930
For themselves. apple trees don't grow apples
00:19:07.996 --> 00:19:09.932
Apple trees don't grow apples for apples.
00:19:09.998 --> 00:19:13.101
For apples. fruit is grown to be picked.
00:19:13.168 --> 00:19:16.538
Fruit is grown to be picked. and one of the problems that
00:19:16.605 --> 00:19:17.506
And one of the problems that we have in the church today is
00:19:17.573 --> 00:19:19.041
We have in the church today is that we put a "no trespassing"
00:19:19.107 --> 00:19:20.442
That we put a "no trespassing" sign around our tree.
00:19:20.509 --> 00:19:22.945
Sign around our tree. "don't touch me.
00:19:23.011 --> 00:19:25.781
"don't touch me. don't come near me.
00:19:25.847 --> 00:19:27.883
Don't come near me. don't bother me.
00:19:27.950 --> 00:19:29.918
Don't bother me. don't ask me.
00:19:29.985 --> 00:19:32.287
Don't ask me. don't involve me,
00:19:32.354 --> 00:19:33.622
Don't involve me, just let me come to church,
00:19:33.689 --> 00:19:34.790
Just let me come to church, get fed, watered,
00:19:34.856 --> 00:19:35.757
Get fed, watered, and sent out.
00:19:35.824 --> 00:19:36.858
And sent out. but don't pick anything
00:19:36.925 --> 00:19:38.427
But don't pick anything off of me."
00:19:38.493 --> 00:19:42.731
Off of me." and that's not why you produce
00:19:42.798 --> 00:19:43.899
And that's not why you produce fruit.
00:19:43.966 --> 00:19:47.035
Fruit. galatians 6 is where paul kind
00:19:47.102 --> 00:19:48.971
Galatians 6 is where paul kind of summarizes this letter to
00:19:49.037 --> 00:19:50.806
Of summarizes this letter to the church in galatia.
00:19:50.872 --> 00:19:52.975
The church in galatia. and he's upset with them.
00:19:53.041 --> 00:19:55.077
And he's upset with them. they think that they can do
00:19:55.143 --> 00:19:56.411
They think that they can do god's thing their way.
00:19:56.478 --> 00:19:59.381
God's thing their way. that's why he said
00:19:59.448 --> 00:20:00.249
That's why he said in galatians 3,
00:20:00.315 --> 00:20:01.183
In galatians 3, "you foolish galatians.
00:20:01.250 --> 00:20:03.285
"you foolish galatians. who deceived you?"
00:20:03.352 --> 00:20:05.954
Who deceived you?" and then he starts talking
00:20:06.021 --> 00:20:06.788
And then he starts talking about this love that christ
00:20:06.855 --> 00:20:09.825
About this love that christ had for them and how they have
00:20:09.891 --> 00:20:11.960
Had for them and how they have to walk in the spirit
00:20:12.027 --> 00:20:12.995
To walk in the spirit to produce the fruit
00:20:13.061 --> 00:20:14.396
To produce the fruit of the spirit.
00:20:14.463 --> 00:20:15.163
Of the spirit. and then he gets to
00:20:15.230 --> 00:20:15.931
And then he gets to galatians 6 where he says,
00:20:15.998 --> 00:20:17.366
Galatians 6 where he says, "god isn't mocked.
00:20:17.432 --> 00:20:19.568
"god isn't mocked. if you sow in the flesh,
00:20:19.635 --> 00:20:20.569
If you sow in the flesh, you're going reap
00:20:20.636 --> 00:20:21.136
You're going reap in the flesh.
00:20:21.203 --> 00:20:21.703
In the flesh. if you sow in the spirit,
00:20:21.770 --> 00:20:22.571
If you sow in the spirit, you're going to reap
00:20:22.638 --> 00:20:23.338
You're going to reap in the spirit."
00:20:23.405 --> 00:20:24.840
In the spirit." and the kind of the love
00:20:24.906 --> 00:20:25.774
And the kind of the love and the kind of fruit that
00:20:25.841 --> 00:20:26.608
And the kind of fruit that he's talking about,
00:20:26.675 --> 00:20:27.509
He's talking about, he's saying,
00:20:27.576 --> 00:20:28.243
He's saying, let as many people as want
00:20:28.310 --> 00:20:30.045
Let as many people as want pick it,
00:20:30.112 --> 00:20:33.015
Pick it, which is why in galatians,
00:20:33.081 --> 00:20:33.882
Which is why in galatians, he says,
00:20:33.949 --> 00:20:34.416
He says, "bear one another's burdens,
00:20:34.483 --> 00:20:38.387
"bear one another's burdens, in so doing,
00:20:38.453 --> 00:20:39.421
In so doing, you fulfill the law
00:20:39.488 --> 00:20:40.555
You fulfill the law of christ,"
00:20:40.622 --> 00:20:41.156
Of christ," by loving one another.
00:20:41.223 --> 00:20:43.792
By loving one another. the joy in my life is not
00:20:43.859 --> 00:20:45.694
The joy in my life is not for me.
00:20:45.761 --> 00:20:46.428
For me. the joy in my life is for you.
00:20:46.495 --> 00:20:48.697
The joy in my life is for you. when you are joy deficient,
00:20:48.764 --> 00:20:50.465
When you are joy deficient, you say,
00:20:50.532 --> 00:20:50.932
You say, "pastor matt,
00:20:50.999 --> 00:20:51.500
"pastor matt, i need some joy."
00:20:51.566 --> 00:20:52.501
I need some joy." and i say,
00:20:52.567 --> 00:20:53.035
And i say, "go ahead and take some.
00:20:53.101 --> 00:20:53.702
"go ahead and take some. i got it."
00:20:53.769 --> 00:20:54.836
I got it." [amen.]

00:20:55.971 --> 00:20:57.272
The peace in your life is not for you.
00:20:57.339 --> 00:20:59.274
Is not for you. the peace in your life
00:20:59.341 --> 00:21:00.542
The peace in your life is for me.

Is for me. when i say,
00:21:01.443 --> 00:21:01.943
When i say, "this concerns me,"
00:21:02.010 --> 00:21:02.778
"this concerns me," you say, "don't worry
00:21:02.844 --> 00:21:03.445
You say, "don't worry about that, pastor.
00:21:03.512 --> 00:21:04.112
About that, pastor. we got your back."
00:21:04.179 --> 00:21:05.213
We got your back." [amen.]
00:21:05.280 --> 00:21:06.081

You can borrow some of my peace.
00:21:06.982 --> 00:21:07.916
My peace. [there you go.]
00:21:07.983 --> 00:21:08.817
[there you go.] now the problem is,
00:21:08.884 --> 00:21:09.918
Now the problem is, if i come to you and you don't
00:21:09.985 --> 00:21:11.620
If i come to you and you don't have any of the fruit
00:21:11.687 --> 00:21:12.587
Have any of the fruit of the spirit,
00:21:12.654 --> 00:21:13.188
Of the spirit, all you've got is the lust of
00:21:13.255 --> 00:21:14.222
All you've got is the lust of the flesh,
00:21:14.289 --> 00:21:14.856
The flesh, what can i pick?!
00:21:14.923 --> 00:21:16.191
What can i pick?! [that's good.]
00:21:16.258 --> 00:21:18.060
[that's good.] and if you come to me
00:21:18.126 --> 00:21:18.927
And if you come to me and i'm picked over,
00:21:18.994 --> 00:21:21.663
And i'm picked over, what can you take?
00:21:21.730 --> 00:21:23.999
What can you take? ♪ music ♪
00:21:24.066 --> 00:21:25.967
♪ music ♪ now why did paul tell
00:21:26.034 --> 00:21:27.836
Now why did paul tell the galatians,
00:21:27.903 --> 00:21:30.839
The galatians, "do not grow weary
00:21:30.906 --> 00:21:32.808
"do not grow weary while doing good"?
00:21:32.874 --> 00:21:35.877
While doing good"? because some of the people
00:21:35.944 --> 00:21:36.678
Because some of the people in the church were saying,
00:21:36.745 --> 00:21:37.579
In the church were saying, "you know what?
00:21:37.646 --> 00:21:38.313
"you know what? i'm tired of getting
00:21:38.380 --> 00:21:39.147
I'm tired of getting picked on.
00:21:39.214 --> 00:21:41.883
Picked on. all they do is pick, pick,
00:21:41.950 --> 00:21:43.118
All they do is pick, pick, pick, pick, pick,
00:21:43.185 --> 00:21:43.952
Pick, pick, pick, pick, pick."
00:21:44.019 --> 00:21:47.589
Pick, pick." and in church,
00:21:47.656 --> 00:21:48.190
And in church, sometimes there's a lot of
00:21:48.256 --> 00:21:49.224
Sometimes there's a lot of pickers and not--
00:21:49.291 --> 00:21:50.359
Pickers and not-- not a lot of providers.
00:21:50.425 --> 00:21:54.296
Not a lot of providers. but the problem with that
00:21:54.363 --> 00:21:55.130
But the problem with that attitude is that you are
00:21:55.197 --> 00:21:56.531
Attitude is that you are looking to a man to replenish
00:21:56.598 --> 00:21:58.300
Looking to a man to replenish you.
00:21:58.367 --> 00:22:01.036
You. if i expect you to fill me up,
00:22:01.103 --> 00:22:03.772

I'm going to be severely disappointed.

Disappointed. [that's right.]
00:22:06.641 --> 00:22:07.409

And if you expect me to fill you up,
00:22:08.510 --> 00:22:09.277
Fill you up, you will be severely
00:22:09.344 --> 00:22:10.846
You will be severely disappointed.

There's only one source. this is called

This is called "the fruit of the --" what?
00:22:24.459 --> 00:22:26.428
"the fruit of the --" what? "-- spirit."
00:22:26.495 --> 00:22:28.463
"-- spirit." it's not mine.
00:22:28.530 --> 00:22:30.899
It's not mine. if you pick joy out of
00:22:30.966 --> 00:22:32.467
If you pick joy out of my life,
00:22:32.534 --> 00:22:33.168
My life, it wasn't my joy to begin
00:22:33.235 --> 00:22:34.569
It wasn't my joy to begin with.
00:22:34.636 --> 00:22:35.737

[that's right.] if you pick love,
00:22:37.839 --> 00:22:38.707
If you pick love, it wasn't my love.
00:22:38.774 --> 00:22:39.741
It wasn't my love. it was his love.

It was his love. if you pick patience,

If you pick patience, it wasn't my patience.

It was his patience. if you pick gentleness,
00:22:43.812 --> 00:22:45.113
If you pick gentleness, it wasn't mine.
00:22:45.180 --> 00:22:46.014
It wasn't mine. it was his.

Pick it, he says,
00:22:58.794 --> 00:22:59.194
He says, "angels, refill that tree."
00:22:59.261 --> 00:23:01.563
"angels, refill that tree." [woo!]

The fruit of the spirit that's growing in him,
00:23:13.008 --> 00:23:14.109
That's growing in him, which is why paul said,
00:23:14.176 --> 00:23:15.410
Which is why paul said, "do not grow weary
00:23:15.477 --> 00:23:16.178
"do not grow weary in well doing,
00:23:16.244 --> 00:23:17.312
In well doing, for in due season you will
