00:00:13.306 --> 00:00:14.140
Pastor matt hagee: today, i want you to see how you can
00:00:14.207 --> 00:00:15.642
I want you to see how you can outgrow depression.
00:00:15.708 --> 00:00:18.211
Outgrow depression. [amen.]
00:00:18.278 --> 00:00:18.678
[amen.] [hallelujah.]
00:00:18.745 --> 00:00:19.446
[hallelujah.] just like an individual
00:00:19.512 --> 00:00:20.447
Just like an individual standing before you today,
00:00:20.513 --> 00:00:21.548
Standing before you today, says, "well, when i was a kid,
00:00:21.614 --> 00:00:22.682
Says, "well, when i was a kid, i had asthma."
00:00:22.749 --> 00:00:23.550
I had asthma." well, what happened?
00:00:23.616 --> 00:00:24.284
Well, what happened? "i outgrew it."
00:00:24.350 --> 00:00:27.153
"i outgrew it." as a young and immature
00:00:27.220 --> 00:00:29.255
As a young and immature christian,
00:00:29.322 --> 00:00:30.023
Christian, you may struggle with
00:00:30.090 --> 00:00:31.091
You may struggle with the anxiety of the word.
00:00:31.157 --> 00:00:32.292
The anxiety of the word. but if you put your faith
00:00:32.358 --> 00:00:33.560
But if you put your faith into action,
00:00:33.626 --> 00:00:34.694
Into action, as you mature,
00:00:34.761 --> 00:00:35.662
As you mature, as you will grow,
00:00:35.728 --> 00:00:36.963
As you will grow, you will outgrow it.
00:00:37.030 --> 00:00:39.199
You will outgrow it. [amen.]
00:00:39.265 --> 00:00:41.067
[amen.] this is why paul could be
00:00:41.134 --> 00:00:42.335
This is why paul could be chained in prison just days
00:00:42.402 --> 00:00:44.971
Chained in prison just days from death, saying,
00:00:45.038 --> 00:00:46.239
From death, saying, "rejoice in the lord always."
00:00:46.306 --> 00:00:50.043
"rejoice in the lord always." [yes.]
00:00:50.110 --> 00:00:50.910
[yes.] there wasn't any kind of
00:00:50.977 --> 00:00:52.278
There wasn't any kind of worldly anxiety or concern
00:00:52.345 --> 00:00:54.514
Worldly anxiety or concern that he had that he had not
00:00:54.581 --> 00:00:56.449
That he had that he had not believed that god could help
00:00:56.516 --> 00:00:57.750
Believed that god could help him to overcome.
00:00:57.817 --> 00:00:59.752
Him to overcome. [yes.]
00:00:59.819 --> 00:01:00.386
[yes.] so how do you grow in faith,
00:01:00.453 --> 00:01:02.989
So how do you grow in faith, in love,
00:01:03.056 --> 00:01:03.890
In love, and outgrow anxiety
00:01:03.957 --> 00:01:05.692
And outgrow anxiety and depression?
00:01:05.758 --> 00:01:07.160
And depression? you have to, first,
00:01:07.227 --> 00:01:07.994
You have to, first, be planted by god's grace.
00:01:08.061 --> 00:01:10.797
Be planted by god's grace. [amen.]
00:01:10.864 --> 00:01:12.465
[amen.] jesus said this in john 15:5,
00:01:12.532 --> 00:01:15.268
Jesus said this in john 15:5, "apart from me
00:01:15.335 --> 00:01:16.569
"apart from me you can do nothing."
00:01:16.636 --> 00:01:19.105
You can do nothing." now that's something that you
00:01:19.172 --> 00:01:20.073
Now that's something that you need to remind yourself of
00:01:20.140 --> 00:01:21.541
Need to remind yourself of on a daily basis.
00:01:21.608 --> 00:01:22.775
On a daily basis. [that's right.]
00:01:22.842 --> 00:01:23.510
[that's right.] [that's right.]
00:01:23.576 --> 00:01:24.277
[that's right.] and the reason that you and i
00:01:24.344 --> 00:01:25.445
And the reason that you and i have to remind ourselves of
00:01:25.512 --> 00:01:26.779
Have to remind ourselves of this on a daily basis is
00:01:26.846 --> 00:01:28.348
This on a daily basis is because in every one of us
00:01:28.414 --> 00:01:30.350
Because in every one of us is this very self-centered,
00:01:30.416 --> 00:01:32.152
Is this very self-centered, selfish individual that is
00:01:32.218 --> 00:01:34.354
Selfish individual that is so immature and childish that
00:01:34.420 --> 00:01:36.723
So immature and childish that we want to constantly tell god
00:01:36.789 --> 00:01:38.691
We want to constantly tell god we can do it on our own.
00:01:38.758 --> 00:01:40.426
We can do it on our own. we forget quickly what acts 17
00:01:40.493 --> 00:01:42.829
We forget quickly what acts 17 says.
00:01:42.896 --> 00:01:43.463
Says. "in him we live,
00:01:43.530 --> 00:01:44.097
"in him we live, in him we move,
00:01:44.164 --> 00:01:44.931
In him we move, and in him we have our being."
00:01:44.998 --> 00:01:47.834
And in him we have our being." the point is this:
00:01:47.901 --> 00:01:48.668
The point is this: if anything in your life
00:01:48.735 --> 00:01:49.736
If anything in your life is going to flourish,
00:01:49.802 --> 00:01:51.037
Is going to flourish, thrive, and grow,
00:01:51.104 --> 00:01:52.272
Thrive, and grow, it's got to be planted in god.
00:01:52.338 --> 00:01:54.774
It's got to be planted in god. and the only way it can be
00:01:54.841 --> 00:01:55.875
And the only way it can be planted in god is by
00:01:55.942 --> 00:01:58.011
Planted in god is by his grace.
00:01:58.077 --> 00:01:59.212
His grace. [yes.]
00:01:59.279 --> 00:01:59.879
[yes.] [amen.]
00:01:59.946 --> 00:02:00.547
[amen.] if it's not planted in god,
00:02:00.613 --> 00:02:01.514
If it's not planted in god, it'll burn you out,
00:02:01.581 --> 00:02:02.448
It'll burn you out, it'll bring you down.
00:02:02.515 --> 00:02:03.683
It'll bring you down. it will take your joy
00:02:03.750 --> 00:02:05.451
It will take your joy and it will give you sorrow.
00:02:05.518 --> 00:02:07.387
And it will give you sorrow. [that's right.]
00:02:07.453 --> 00:02:08.121
[that's right.] whatever you want to grow has
00:02:08.188 --> 00:02:09.222
Whatever you want to grow has got to be planted in grace
00:02:09.289 --> 00:02:10.590
Got to be planted in grace and it's got to grow in faith.
00:02:10.657 --> 00:02:12.091
And it's got to grow in faith. how did your salvation come?
00:02:12.158 --> 00:02:14.160
How did your salvation come? by grace and by faith.
00:02:14.227 --> 00:02:16.429
By grace and by faith. [amen.]
00:02:16.496 --> 00:02:17.163
[amen.] ephesians 2:8,
00:02:17.230 --> 00:02:18.364
Ephesians 2:8, "by grace you have been saved
00:02:18.431 --> 00:02:19.933
"by grace you have been saved through faith."
00:02:19.999 --> 00:02:22.001
Through faith." [amen.]
00:02:22.068 --> 00:02:22.735
[amen.] grace is god's gift.
00:02:22.802 --> 00:02:24.103
Grace is god's gift. faith is how you open
00:02:24.170 --> 00:02:25.772
Faith is how you open the gift.
00:02:25.838 --> 00:02:26.573
The gift. [amen.]
00:02:26.639 --> 00:02:27.574
[amen.] [hallelujah.]
00:02:27.640 --> 00:02:27.974
[hallelujah.] no matter what you're trying
00:02:28.041 --> 00:02:28.942
No matter what you're trying to achieve though,
00:02:29.008 --> 00:02:29.842
To achieve though, if you do not try to achieve
00:02:29.909 --> 00:02:31.144
If you do not try to achieve it in god's grace
00:02:31.211 --> 00:02:32.445
It in god's grace and through pure faith,
00:02:32.512 --> 00:02:33.980
And through pure faith, you're going to struggle
00:02:34.047 --> 00:02:35.048
You're going to struggle with it.
00:02:35.114 --> 00:02:36.082
With it. [yes.]
00:02:36.149 --> 00:02:36.816
[yes.] and that struggle is going to
00:02:36.883 --> 00:02:37.750
And that struggle is going to lead to depression.
00:02:37.817 --> 00:02:39.786
Lead to depression. so how do you outgrow
00:02:39.852 --> 00:02:40.753
So how do you outgrow depression?
00:02:40.820 --> 00:02:42.322
Depression? instead of sowing from
00:02:42.388 --> 00:02:43.323
Instead of sowing from the flesh,
00:02:43.389 --> 00:02:44.791
The flesh, you sow from the spirit.
00:02:44.857 --> 00:02:47.493
You sow from the spirit. this is what paul is talking
00:02:47.560 --> 00:02:48.628
This is what paul is talking about in galatians 5 and 6.
00:02:48.695 --> 00:02:52.732
About in galatians 5 and 6. "do not be deceived,
00:02:52.799 --> 00:02:54.234
"do not be deceived, god is not mocked."
00:02:54.300 --> 00:02:56.502
God is not mocked." "whatever a man sows,
00:02:56.569 --> 00:02:58.338
"whatever a man sows, that will he reap."
00:02:58.404 --> 00:03:00.406
That will he reap." [that's right.]
00:03:00.473 --> 00:03:01.474
[that's right.] if you're sowing joy,
00:03:01.541 --> 00:03:03.042
If you're sowing joy, you're going to reap joy.
00:03:03.109 --> 00:03:04.978
You're going to reap joy. if you're sowing frustration,
00:03:05.044 --> 00:03:06.980
If you're sowing frustration, you're going to reap
00:03:07.046 --> 00:03:08.248
You're going to reap frustration.
00:03:08.314 --> 00:03:09.349
Frustration. [that's right.]
00:03:09.415 --> 00:03:10.416
[that's right.] he says there's two ways
00:03:10.483 --> 00:03:11.417
He says there's two ways that you can sow.
00:03:11.484 --> 00:03:12.285
That you can sow. you can sow from the flesh,
00:03:12.352 --> 00:03:13.586
You can sow from the flesh, which brings corruption.
00:03:13.653 --> 00:03:16.289
Which brings corruption. the flesh never brings
00:03:16.356 --> 00:03:17.257
The flesh never brings anything good.
00:03:17.323 --> 00:03:18.024
Anything good. why?
00:03:18.091 --> 00:03:18.558
Why? because it's constantly
00:03:18.625 --> 00:03:19.459
Because it's constantly rotting.
00:03:19.525 --> 00:03:20.093
Rotting. that's what corruption means.
00:03:20.159 --> 00:03:21.461
That's what corruption means. [yes.]
00:03:21.527 --> 00:03:23.329
[yes.] he said,
00:03:23.396 --> 00:03:24.030
He said, "or you can sow from
00:03:24.097 --> 00:03:24.664
"or you can sow from the spirit,
00:03:24.731 --> 00:03:25.732
The spirit, from which you reap
00:03:25.798 --> 00:03:26.833
From which you reap everlasting life."
00:03:26.899 --> 00:03:27.967
Everlasting life." [hallelujah.]
00:03:28.034 --> 00:03:29.469
[hallelujah.] the fruit that god wants you
00:03:29.535 --> 00:03:30.670
The fruit that god wants you to grow is planted in
00:03:30.737 --> 00:03:31.771
To grow is planted in his grace,
00:03:31.838 --> 00:03:33.306
His grace, and it's produced by
00:03:33.373 --> 00:03:34.207
And it's produced by your faith,
00:03:34.274 --> 00:03:35.775
Your faith, and it brings a harvest
00:03:35.842 --> 00:03:37.143
And it brings a harvest of love.
00:03:37.210 --> 00:03:38.678
Of love. that's why jesus said
00:03:38.745 --> 00:03:39.612
That's why jesus said in john 15:8,
00:03:39.679 --> 00:03:40.980
In john 15:8, "by this,
00:03:41.047 --> 00:03:41.748
"by this, my father is glorified --"
00:03:41.814 --> 00:03:43.650
My father is glorified --" what?
00:03:43.716 --> 00:03:44.484
What? "-- that you bear,"
00:03:44.550 --> 00:03:45.718
"-- that you bear," say it with me,
00:03:45.785 --> 00:03:46.786
Say it with me, "much fruit."
00:03:46.853 --> 00:03:49.255
"much fruit." and the fruit is love,
00:03:49.322 --> 00:03:50.690
And the fruit is love, which is why verse 12 says,
00:03:50.757 --> 00:03:52.058
Which is why verse 12 says, "this is my commandment,
00:03:52.125 --> 00:03:53.926
"this is my commandment, that you love one another
00:03:53.993 --> 00:03:56.763
That you love one another as i have loved you."
00:03:56.829 --> 00:04:00.233
As i have loved you." [yes.]
00:04:00.300 --> 00:04:00.967
[yes.] now this is where we need
00:04:01.034 --> 00:04:01.734
Now this is where we need the holy spirit to open up
00:04:01.801 --> 00:04:03.670
The holy spirit to open up the lock and help us
00:04:03.736 --> 00:04:05.204
The lock and help us understand this kind of love.
00:04:05.271 --> 00:04:06.739
Understand this kind of love. because we talk about love,
00:04:06.806 --> 00:04:08.107
Because we talk about love, but we don't understand love.
00:04:08.174 --> 00:04:11.511
But we don't understand love. our kind of love in our kind
00:04:11.577 --> 00:04:13.780
Our kind of love in our kind of thinking is transactional.
00:04:13.846 --> 00:04:17.617
Of thinking is transactional. we love people because of what
00:04:17.684 --> 00:04:19.385
We love people because of what they do for us.
00:04:19.452 --> 00:04:20.286
They do for us. and they love us because of
00:04:20.353 --> 00:04:21.721
And they love us because of what we do for them,
00:04:21.788 --> 00:04:24.657
What we do for them, even if you don't want to
00:04:24.724 --> 00:04:25.558
Even if you don't want to admit it.
00:04:25.625 --> 00:04:27.860
Admit it. but the kind of love that's
00:04:27.927 --> 00:04:28.728
But the kind of love that's being spoken about here
00:04:28.795 --> 00:04:30.196
Being spoken about here in this verse,
00:04:30.263 --> 00:04:30.897
In this verse, "this is my commandment
00:04:30.963 --> 00:04:31.898
"this is my commandment that you love one another
00:04:31.964 --> 00:04:34.100
That you love one another as i have loved you,"
00:04:34.167 --> 00:04:35.668
As i have loved you," is not transactional;
00:04:35.735 --> 00:04:37.136
Is not transactional; it's sacrificial.
00:04:37.203 --> 00:04:39.272
It's sacrificial. this is the kind of love
00:04:39.339 --> 00:04:40.807
This is the kind of love that does not expect anything
00:04:40.873 --> 00:04:43.509
That does not expect anything in return from the person
00:04:43.576 --> 00:04:45.345
In return from the person that you are loving.
00:04:45.411 --> 00:04:46.546
That you are loving. [that's right.]
00:04:46.612 --> 00:04:48.414
[that's right.] and that's a different kind
00:04:48.481 --> 00:04:50.616
And that's a different kind of love.
00:04:50.683 --> 00:04:53.119
Of love. think about it.
00:04:53.186 --> 00:04:54.220
Think about it. i do not expect or require
00:04:54.287 --> 00:04:57.156
I do not expect or require anything from you,
00:04:57.223 --> 00:04:59.859
Anything from you, but i still love you.
00:04:59.926 --> 00:05:01.427
But i still love you. [yes.]
00:05:01.494 --> 00:05:02.328
[yes.] now in order to identify
00:05:02.395 --> 00:05:03.796
Now in order to identify the roots of god's love,
00:05:03.863 --> 00:05:05.198
The roots of god's love, you need to go to
00:05:05.264 --> 00:05:05.832
You need to go to 1 corinthians 13:1 through 4.
00:05:05.898 --> 00:05:09.435
1 corinthians 13:1 through 4. this is the description of how
00:05:09.502 --> 00:05:10.670
This is the description of how god and his son, jesus christ,
00:05:10.737 --> 00:05:12.672
God and his son, jesus christ, loved you.
00:05:12.739 --> 00:05:15.641
Loved you. and this is the way that
00:05:15.708 --> 00:05:16.275
And this is the way that he expects us to love others.
00:05:16.342 --> 00:05:20.980
He expects us to love others. and in order to understand
00:05:21.047 --> 00:05:22.348
And in order to understand this kind of love,
00:05:22.415 --> 00:05:23.216
This kind of love, you've got to have
00:05:23.282 --> 00:05:23.750
You've got to have the holy spirit help you
00:05:23.816 --> 00:05:24.951
The holy spirit help you hear it,
00:05:25.017 --> 00:05:25.451
Hear it, because you won't get it
00:05:25.518 --> 00:05:27.153
Because you won't get it in your own strength.
00:05:27.220 --> 00:05:29.722
In your own strength. for example,
00:05:29.789 --> 00:05:30.256
For example, this issue of patient
00:05:30.323 --> 00:05:31.524
This issue of patient and kind,
00:05:31.591 --> 00:05:33.659
And kind, sounds nice.
00:05:33.726 --> 00:05:35.228
Sounds nice. [yes.]
00:05:35.294 --> 00:05:36.529
[yes.] but the reality of it is,
00:05:36.596 --> 00:05:37.563
But the reality of it is, is patient is not really
00:05:37.630 --> 00:05:39.232
Is patient is not really a good interpretation.
00:05:39.298 --> 00:05:41.734
A good interpretation. as a matter of fact,
00:05:41.801 --> 00:05:42.301
As a matter of fact, in galatians and in some
00:05:42.368 --> 00:05:45.405
In galatians and in some translations of the bible,
00:05:45.471 --> 00:05:46.339
Translations of the bible, it says,
00:05:46.406 --> 00:05:47.306
It says, "love is longsuffering."
00:05:47.373 --> 00:05:50.810
"love is longsuffering." and the difference between
00:05:50.877 --> 00:05:51.711
And the difference between patience and longsuffering
00:05:51.778 --> 00:05:53.279
Patience and longsuffering is simply this:
00:05:53.346 --> 00:05:55.648
Is simply this: patience is your willingness
00:05:55.715 --> 00:05:59.719
Patience is your willingness to wait.
00:05:59.786 --> 00:06:01.587
To wait. longsuffering is your ability
00:06:01.654 --> 00:06:05.091
Longsuffering is your ability to endure quietly without
00:06:05.158 --> 00:06:07.026
To endure quietly without letting the other person know
00:06:07.093 --> 00:06:08.494
Letting the other person know it's bothering you.
00:06:08.561 --> 00:06:09.996
It's bothering you. [yes.]
00:06:10.062 --> 00:06:10.530
[yes.] [come on.]
00:06:10.596 --> 00:06:11.264
[come on.] [yes.]
00:06:11.330 --> 00:06:12.565
[yes.] that's different.
00:06:12.632 --> 00:06:13.566
That's different. [yes, very.]
00:06:13.633 --> 00:06:14.801
[yes, very.] you ever heard somebody say,
00:06:14.867 --> 00:06:15.568
You ever heard somebody say, "don't try my patience"?
00:06:15.635 --> 00:06:17.703
"don't try my patience"? (laughter)
00:06:17.770 --> 00:06:19.305
(laughter) what they're saying is,
00:06:19.372 --> 00:06:20.006
What they're saying is, you're getting to the end of
00:06:20.072 --> 00:06:21.140
You're getting to the end of my ability to wait.
00:06:21.207 --> 00:06:22.475
My ability to wait. [yes.]
00:06:22.542 --> 00:06:23.176
[yes.] but longsuffering says,
00:06:23.242 --> 00:06:24.277
But longsuffering says, "you're not even going to know
00:06:24.343 --> 00:06:25.077
"you're not even going to know it bothers me.
00:06:25.144 --> 00:06:25.745
It bothers me. i'm just going to set here
00:06:25.812 --> 00:06:26.779
I'm just going to set here and --"
00:06:26.846 --> 00:06:27.447
And --" [that's right.]
00:06:27.513 --> 00:06:28.514
[that's right.] "-- wait."
00:06:28.581 --> 00:06:30.149
"-- wait." [there you go.]
00:06:30.216 --> 00:06:31.984
[there you go.] think about jesus'
00:06:32.051 --> 00:06:33.319
Think about jesus' longsuffering with
00:06:33.386 --> 00:06:34.487
Longsuffering with the disciples.
00:06:34.554 --> 00:06:36.389
The disciples. he would teach them these
00:06:36.456 --> 00:06:37.523
He would teach them these marvelous lessons of truth,
00:06:37.590 --> 00:06:38.825
Marvelous lessons of truth, and they would look at him
00:06:38.891 --> 00:06:39.492
And they would look at him and go,
00:06:39.559 --> 00:06:40.259
And go, "we don't get it."
00:06:40.326 --> 00:06:42.428
"we don't get it." he didn't go, "uh."
00:06:42.495 --> 00:06:43.596
He didn't go, "uh." (slaps his head)
00:06:43.663 --> 00:06:44.464
(slaps his head) (laughter)
00:06:44.530 --> 00:06:46.699
(laughter) he'd just keep right on
00:06:46.766 --> 00:06:47.467
He'd just keep right on walking,
00:06:47.533 --> 00:06:47.967
Walking, right on teaching,
00:06:48.034 --> 00:06:48.634
Right on teaching, right on talking.
00:06:48.701 --> 00:06:51.737
Right on talking. he was suffering
00:06:51.804 --> 00:06:53.606
He was suffering their ignorance,
00:06:53.673 --> 00:06:54.474
Their ignorance, but they never knew it,
00:06:54.540 --> 00:06:56.676
But they never knew it, because he loved them.
00:06:56.742 --> 00:06:58.978
Because he loved them. "love is kind."
00:06:59.045 --> 00:07:01.414
"love is kind." "kindness" means a desire to
00:07:01.481 --> 00:07:04.050
"kindness" means a desire to help and not to hurt.
00:07:04.116 --> 00:07:07.186
Help and not to hurt. and the thing about kindness
00:07:07.253 --> 00:07:09.555
And the thing about kindness is that you don't often have
00:07:09.622 --> 00:07:10.890
Is that you don't often have the ability to discern
00:07:10.957 --> 00:07:12.391
The ability to discern when someone is being kind
00:07:12.458 --> 00:07:14.093
When someone is being kind in the moment.
00:07:14.160 --> 00:07:15.828
In the moment. why?
00:07:15.895 --> 00:07:18.831
Why? because the bible says
00:07:18.898 --> 00:07:19.665
Because the bible says in proverbs 27:6,
00:07:19.732 --> 00:07:21.968
In proverbs 27:6, "faithful are the wounds
00:07:22.034 --> 00:07:24.170
"faithful are the wounds of a friend,
00:07:24.237 --> 00:07:25.037
Of a friend, but the kisses of an enemy
00:07:25.104 --> 00:07:26.973
But the kisses of an enemy are deceitful."
00:07:27.039 --> 00:07:28.107
Are deceitful." [that's right.]
00:07:28.174 --> 00:07:29.242
[that's right.] sometimes someone's
00:07:29.308 --> 00:07:30.476
Sometimes someone's kissing you,
00:07:30.543 --> 00:07:31.177
Kissing you, and you think,
00:07:31.244 --> 00:07:31.878
And you think, "oh, that's kind."
00:07:31.944 --> 00:07:32.678
"oh, that's kind." but the truth is that kiss is
00:07:32.745 --> 00:07:33.946
But the truth is that kiss is intended for your harm,
00:07:34.013 --> 00:07:35.047
Intended for your harm, not your help.
00:07:35.114 --> 00:07:38.150
Not your help. and other times,
00:07:38.217 --> 00:07:38.985
And other times, somebody is saying something
00:07:39.051 --> 00:07:40.653
Somebody is saying something that confronts you,
00:07:40.720 --> 00:07:42.255
That confronts you, and you think,
00:07:42.321 --> 00:07:42.722
And you think, "well, that was rude.
00:07:42.788 --> 00:07:43.723
"well, that was rude. that's not very kind."
00:07:43.789 --> 00:07:44.724
That's not very kind." but the truth is
00:07:44.790 --> 00:07:45.424
But the truth is if their confrontation is for
00:07:45.491 --> 00:07:46.792
If their confrontation is for your help,
00:07:46.859 --> 00:07:47.627
Your help, you should thank them.
00:07:47.693 --> 00:07:48.928
You should thank them. [that's right.]
00:07:48.995 --> 00:07:49.896
[that's right.] [that's right.]
00:07:49.962 --> 00:07:50.496
[that's right.] [amen.]
00:07:50.563 --> 00:07:51.063
[amen.] "love does not envy."
00:07:51.130 --> 00:07:53.766
"love does not envy." love celebrates someone else's
00:07:53.833 --> 00:07:55.835
Love celebrates someone else's success.
00:07:55.902 --> 00:07:57.036
Success. [yes.]
00:07:57.103 --> 00:07:57.803
[yes.] [yes.]
00:07:57.870 --> 00:07:58.504
[yes.] [amen.]
00:07:58.571 --> 00:07:59.238
[amen.] you're going to find out how
00:07:59.305 --> 00:07:59.939
You're going to find out how much you love somebody
00:08:00.006 --> 00:08:01.340
Much you love somebody the next time that they get
00:08:01.407 --> 00:08:02.441
The next time that they get a promotion or buy a bigger
00:08:02.508 --> 00:08:03.609
A promotion or buy a bigger house or have something that
00:08:03.676 --> 00:08:04.810
House or have something that you don't have.
00:08:04.877 --> 00:08:07.213
You don't have. because if you can truly
00:08:07.280 --> 00:08:08.147
Because if you can truly celebrate it,
00:08:08.214 --> 00:08:09.081
Celebrate it, then you're not envious of
00:08:09.148 --> 00:08:10.449
Then you're not envious of their success.
00:08:10.516 --> 00:08:11.884
Their success. [that's right.]
00:08:11.951 --> 00:08:12.652
[that's right.] [that's right.]
00:08:12.718 --> 00:08:13.386
[that's right.] "love does not parade itself."
00:08:13.452 --> 00:08:14.620
"love does not parade itself." love doesn't think that you're
00:08:14.687 --> 00:08:15.888
Love doesn't think that you're a big deal.
00:08:15.955 --> 00:08:17.590
A big deal. "love is not puffed up."
00:08:17.657 --> 00:08:19.025
"love is not puffed up." love not being puffed up means
00:08:19.091 --> 00:08:21.561
Love not being puffed up means that it's not snobbish.
00:08:21.627 --> 00:08:22.795
That it's not snobbish. it doesn't think that it's
00:08:22.862 --> 00:08:24.230
It doesn't think that it's too good to be around
00:08:24.297 --> 00:08:25.665
Too good to be around other people.
00:08:25.731 --> 00:08:26.799
Other people. [there you go.]
00:08:26.866 --> 00:08:28.200
[there you go.] this is how love overcomes
00:08:28.267 --> 00:08:29.435
This is how love overcomes bias and racism,
00:08:29.502 --> 00:08:30.903
Bias and racism, because it doesn't look at
00:08:30.970 --> 00:08:31.737
Because it doesn't look at someone who's different
00:08:31.804 --> 00:08:32.705
Someone who's different and say,
00:08:32.772 --> 00:08:33.372
And say, "well, i can't love you
00:08:33.439 --> 00:08:34.307
"well, i can't love you because you're not like me."
00:08:34.373 --> 00:08:35.541
Because you're not like me." [yes.]
00:08:35.608 --> 00:08:36.442
[yes.] "love is not rude."
00:08:36.509 --> 00:08:38.010
"love is not rude." it's not disruptive.
00:08:38.077 --> 00:08:39.879
It's not disruptive. "love doesn't seek its own."
00:08:39.946 --> 00:08:41.213
"love doesn't seek its own." it's always giving.
00:08:41.280 --> 00:08:42.481
It's always giving. it's never seeking to receive.
00:08:42.548 --> 00:08:44.717
It's never seeking to receive. "love is not provoked."
00:08:44.784 --> 00:08:46.385
"love is not provoked." this is one of my favorite
00:08:46.452 --> 00:08:47.453
This is one of my favorite ones,
00:08:47.520 --> 00:08:48.154
Ones, because it's something that
00:08:48.220 --> 00:08:48.988
Because it's something that most people don't think about
00:08:49.055 --> 00:08:50.056
Most people don't think about when it comes to love.
00:08:50.122 --> 00:08:50.890
When it comes to love. "love is not provoked."
00:08:50.957 --> 00:08:52.792
"love is not provoked." that means that love is not
00:08:52.858 --> 00:08:54.493
That means that love is not overly sensitive.
00:08:54.560 --> 00:08:57.129
Overly sensitive. it's got tough enough skin
00:08:57.196 --> 00:08:59.765
It's got tough enough skin to endure an offense
00:08:59.832 --> 00:09:01.701
To endure an offense and keep loving you.
00:09:01.767 --> 00:09:03.302
And keep loving you. [yes.]
00:09:03.369 --> 00:09:03.636
[yes.] when you start loving other
00:09:03.703 --> 00:09:04.637
When you start loving other people like that,
00:09:04.704 --> 00:09:05.504
People like that, you're going to spend
00:09:05.571 --> 00:09:06.172
You're going to spend a lot less time offended.
00:09:06.238 --> 00:09:08.574
A lot less time offended. [amen.]
00:09:08.641 --> 00:09:09.609
[amen.] "love does not rejoice in
00:09:09.675 --> 00:09:11.110
"love does not rejoice in iniquity."
00:09:11.177 --> 00:09:11.811
Iniquity." here's another one to think
00:09:11.877 --> 00:09:12.612
Here's another one to think about.
00:09:12.678 --> 00:09:14.013
About. "love does not rejoice in
00:09:14.080 --> 00:09:15.948
"love does not rejoice in iniquity."
00:09:16.015 --> 00:09:16.415
Iniquity." that's what the bible says.
00:09:16.482 --> 00:09:18.084
That's what the bible says. here we call it
00:09:18.150 --> 00:09:18.851
Here we call it "thinks no evil
00:09:18.918 --> 00:09:19.585
"thinks no evil and does not rejoice in sin.
00:09:19.652 --> 00:09:21.087
And does not rejoice in sin. it celebrates truth."
00:09:21.153 --> 00:09:23.823
It celebrates truth." don't say you love somebody,
00:09:23.889 --> 00:09:25.691
Don't say you love somebody, and then look for fault
00:09:25.758 --> 00:09:27.593
And then look for fault in that somebody.
00:09:27.660 --> 00:09:29.095
In that somebody. [amen.]
00:09:29.161 --> 00:09:29.829
[amen.] don't say you love somebody,
00:09:29.895 --> 00:09:31.230
Don't say you love somebody, and then go try and dig up
00:09:31.297 --> 00:09:32.465
And then go try and dig up dirt on that somebody.
00:09:32.531 --> 00:09:34.934
Dirt on that somebody. that's your desire to find out
00:09:35.001 --> 00:09:36.402
That's your desire to find out things that are harmful about
00:09:36.469 --> 00:09:37.770
Things that are harmful about that person so that you can
00:09:37.837 --> 00:09:38.871
That person so that you can use them for your purposes
00:09:38.938 --> 00:09:40.206
Use them for your purposes later.
00:09:40.272 --> 00:09:40.773
Later. that's not giving.
00:09:40.840 --> 00:09:41.674
That's not giving. that's taking.
00:09:41.741 --> 00:09:42.908
That's taking. [yes.]
00:09:42.975 --> 00:09:45.111
[yes.] here's the thing that's
00:09:45.177 --> 00:09:45.745
Here's the thing that's remarkable about it.
00:09:45.811 --> 00:09:46.946
Remarkable about it. jesus knows everything about
00:09:47.013 --> 00:09:48.381
Jesus knows everything about every one of us.
00:09:48.447 --> 00:09:49.482
Every one of us. [yes, he does.]
00:09:49.548 --> 00:09:50.449
[yes, he does.] [yes.]
00:09:50.516 --> 00:09:51.083
[yes.] he doesn't need somebody to
00:09:51.150 --> 00:09:52.218
He doesn't need somebody to fill in the blanks.
00:09:52.284 --> 00:09:53.252
Fill in the blanks. he knows them all.
00:09:53.319 --> 00:09:54.487
He knows them all. [yes.]
00:09:54.553 --> 00:09:55.755
[yes.] and the bible says,
00:09:55.821 --> 00:09:56.322
And the bible says, he doesn't rejoice in
00:09:56.389 --> 00:09:57.289
He doesn't rejoice in any of it.
00:09:57.356 --> 00:09:59.859
Any of it. all he thinks about is not
00:09:59.925 --> 00:10:01.560
All he thinks about is not what you are,
00:10:01.627 --> 00:10:02.128
What you are, but what you could be.
00:10:02.194 --> 00:10:04.964
But what you could be. if you plant your life
00:10:05.031 --> 00:10:06.265
If you plant your life in christ,
00:10:06.332 --> 00:10:07.366
In christ, in god's grace,
00:10:07.433 --> 00:10:08.434
In god's grace, in faith,
00:10:08.501 --> 00:10:09.201
In faith, and these are your roots,
00:10:09.268 --> 00:10:13.305
And these are your roots, then the fruit of the spirit
00:10:13.372 --> 00:10:15.007
Then the fruit of the spirit is going to be what you
00:10:15.074 --> 00:10:15.975
Is going to be what you produce.
00:10:16.042 --> 00:10:17.576
Produce. jesus, in john 15,
00:10:17.643 --> 00:10:19.278
Jesus, in john 15, he said,
00:10:19.345 --> 00:10:19.912
He said, "you didn't choose me.
00:10:19.979 --> 00:10:20.846
"you didn't choose me. i chose you...
00:10:20.913 --> 00:10:21.814
I chose you... that you should bear fruit
00:10:21.881 --> 00:10:23.015
That you should bear fruit and that your fruit should
00:10:23.082 --> 00:10:24.550
And that your fruit should remain."
00:10:24.617 --> 00:10:25.151
Remain." in matthew 12:33, it says,
00:10:25.217 --> 00:10:27.987
In matthew 12:33, it says, "the tree is known by its --"
00:10:28.054 --> 00:10:29.522
"the tree is known by its --" what?
00:10:29.588 --> 00:10:30.356
What? "-- fruit."
00:10:30.423 --> 00:10:32.324
"-- fruit." you can't claim that you've
00:10:32.391 --> 00:10:33.693
You can't claim that you've got the fruit of the spirit,
00:10:33.759 --> 00:10:35.161
Got the fruit of the spirit, and all that follows you
00:10:35.227 --> 00:10:36.262
And all that follows you is chaos,
00:10:36.328 --> 00:10:36.996
Is chaos, confusion,
00:10:37.063 --> 00:10:37.730
Confusion, division,
00:10:37.797 --> 00:10:38.364
Division, anxiety,
00:10:38.431 --> 00:10:39.131
Anxiety, and depression.
00:10:39.198 --> 00:10:41.534
And depression. you can't tell somebody,
00:10:41.600 --> 00:10:42.668
You can't tell somebody, "i'm growing in christ,"
00:10:42.735 --> 00:10:44.136
"i'm growing in christ," and everything in your life
00:10:44.203 --> 00:10:45.204
And everything in your life is a crime scene.
00:10:45.271 --> 00:10:46.572
Is a crime scene. [amen!]
00:10:46.639 --> 00:10:47.740
[amen!] (laughter)
00:10:47.807 --> 00:10:49.575
(laughter) the lusts of the flesh,
00:10:49.642 --> 00:10:50.876
The lusts of the flesh, based on paul's writings
00:10:50.943 --> 00:10:52.478
Based on paul's writings in galatians 5,
00:10:52.545 --> 00:10:54.213
In galatians 5, are a list that most of us
00:10:54.280 --> 00:10:55.481
Are a list that most of us think that we're not on.
00:10:55.548 --> 00:10:56.816
Think that we're not on. but if you take a second look,
00:10:56.882 --> 00:10:57.917
But if you take a second look, you'll find yourself in it.
00:10:57.983 --> 00:11:00.486
You'll find yourself in it. the lusts of the flesh start
00:11:00.553 --> 00:11:02.354
The lusts of the flesh start with moral sins.
00:11:02.421 --> 00:11:04.323
With moral sins. let's take a look at this tree
00:11:04.390 --> 00:11:05.691
Let's take a look at this tree and see how much fruit we can
00:11:05.758 --> 00:11:06.992
And see how much fruit we can identify.
00:11:07.059 --> 00:11:07.960
Identify. these are the sins that you
00:11:08.027 --> 00:11:09.328
These are the sins that you commit in your moral self.
00:11:09.395 --> 00:11:13.833
Commit in your moral self. and it starts with immorality,
00:11:13.899 --> 00:11:16.001
And it starts with immorality, "adultery."
00:11:16.068 --> 00:11:16.869
"adultery." jesus said,
00:11:16.936 --> 00:11:17.503
Jesus said, "if anybody looks on a woman
00:11:17.570 --> 00:11:18.804
"if anybody looks on a woman with lust in his heart,
00:11:18.871 --> 00:11:19.739
With lust in his heart, he's committed adultery."
00:11:19.805 --> 00:11:21.040
He's committed adultery." [that's right.]
00:11:21.107 --> 00:11:23.008
[that's right.] immorality includes
00:11:23.075 --> 00:11:25.911
Immorality includes fornication,
00:11:25.978 --> 00:11:27.880
Fornication, which is hidden.
00:11:27.947 --> 00:11:30.549
Which is hidden. it's immoral things that you
00:11:30.616 --> 00:11:31.951
It's immoral things that you do that you don't want others
00:11:32.017 --> 00:11:33.052
Do that you don't want others to know about.
00:11:33.119 --> 00:11:33.819
To know about. immorality in the greek is
00:11:33.886 --> 00:11:35.354
Immorality in the greek is actually translated "pornia"
00:11:35.421 --> 00:11:37.490
Actually translated "pornia" from where we get the word
00:11:37.556 --> 00:11:38.624
From where we get the word "pornography."
00:11:38.691 --> 00:11:41.060
"pornography." how much is pornography had
00:11:41.127 --> 00:11:43.462
How much is pornography had its grip on this generation?
00:11:43.529 --> 00:11:46.031
Its grip on this generation? [that's
00:11:46.098 --> 00:11:46.398
The hatred we saw on october
00:11:46.999 --> 00:11:48.734
The 7th toward israel
00:11:48.734 --> 00:11:50.302
And the jewish
00:11:50.302 --> 00:11:51.003
People was not new.
00:11:51.003 --> 00:11:52.705
It was a chilling reminder
00:11:52.705 --> 00:11:54.073
That anti-semitism
00:11:54.073 --> 00:11:55.508
Never sleeps.
00:11:55.508 --> 00:11:56.909
Women were raped.
00:11:56.909 --> 00:11:58.344
Children were murdered.
00:11:58.344 --> 00:11:59.912
Terrorists
00:11:59.912 --> 00:12:00.613
Were celebrating
00:12:00.613 --> 00:12:01.447
Their massacre.
00:12:01.447 --> 00:12:02.548
But in the face of evil,
00:12:02.548 --> 00:12:04.016
We chose to stand with israel,
00:12:04.016 --> 00:12:06.418
To say to israel
00:12:06.418 --> 00:12:07.419
And the jewish people,
00:12:07.419 --> 00:12:08.521
You are not alone
00:12:08.521 --> 00:12:10.556
For your gift of any amount.

We'll send you pastor

The middle east conflict
00:12:14.827 --> 00:12:16.228
The origin of jew hatred,
00:12:16.228 --> 00:12:17.563
Along with a beautiful america
00:12:17.563 --> 00:12:19.265

You'll also receive

The prophecy bible
00:12:23.435 --> 00:12:24.537
Nine bible principles
00:12:24.537 --> 00:12:25.738
For judging prophecy,

And our brand new israel
00:12:26.906 --> 00:12:28.340
Perpetual calendar.
00:12:28.340 --> 00:12:29.441
For zion's sake,
00:12:29.441 --> 00:12:30.376
We will not be silent.
00:12:30.376 --> 00:12:31.977
Join us. stand for truth.
00:12:31.977 --> 00:12:34.446
Stand for israel.
00:12:34.446 --> 00:12:35.881
Stand against anti-semitism.
00:12:35.881 --> 00:12:38.417
Call the number on
00:12:38.417 --> 00:12:39.251
Screen or visit jhm.org/zion
00:12:39.251 --> 00:12:45.457
There is hidden immorality,
00:12:45.524 --> 00:12:47.459
There is hidden immorality, and then there's outward
00:12:47.526 --> 00:12:48.794
And then there's outward immorality.
00:12:48.861 --> 00:12:49.528
Immorality. that's called "uncleanliness."
00:12:49.595 --> 00:12:52.298
That's called "uncleanliness." uncleanliness is willing to
00:12:52.364 --> 00:12:54.099
Uncleanliness is willing to say, "you know what?
00:12:54.166 --> 00:12:55.100
Say, "you know what? i don't care if people know
00:12:55.167 --> 00:12:56.402
I don't care if people know or they don't know.
00:12:56.468 --> 00:12:57.269
Or they don't know. i'm actually going to parade
00:12:57.336 --> 00:12:58.404
I'm actually going to parade myself,"
00:12:58.470 --> 00:13:00.072
Myself," which leads to lewdness
00:13:00.139 --> 00:13:01.574
Which leads to lewdness and vulgarity,
00:13:01.640 --> 00:13:02.675
And vulgarity, which is such a public
00:13:02.741 --> 00:13:03.742
Which is such a public and prominent demonstration
00:13:03.809 --> 00:13:05.511
And prominent demonstration of your immorality,
00:13:05.578 --> 00:13:06.912
Of your immorality, that you're proud of it.
00:13:06.979 --> 00:13:09.915
That you're proud of it. you parade it down the street.
00:13:09.982 --> 00:13:12.952
You parade it down the street. you want other people to know
00:13:13.018 --> 00:13:14.453
You want other people to know that this is how immoral
00:13:14.520 --> 00:13:16.155
That this is how immoral you are,
00:13:16.222 --> 00:13:16.889
You are, and then you want to claim
00:13:16.956 --> 00:13:17.990
And then you want to claim that you're a marginalized
00:13:18.057 --> 00:13:19.358
That you're a marginalized minority that deserves special
00:13:19.425 --> 00:13:21.026
Minority that deserves special treatment because of
00:13:21.093 --> 00:13:21.794
Treatment because of your foolish and unnatural
00:13:21.861 --> 00:13:23.696
Your foolish and unnatural decisions
00:13:23.762 --> 00:13:24.563
Decisions instead of your character.
00:13:24.630 --> 00:13:26.332
Instead of your character. [yes.]
00:13:26.398 --> 00:13:26.966
[yes.] (applause)
00:13:27.032 --> 00:13:31.804
(applause) then there's spiritual sins.
00:13:31.871 --> 00:13:34.173
Then there's spiritual sins. don't think this is all
00:13:34.240 --> 00:13:35.007
Don't think this is all that's growing in this tree.
00:13:35.074 --> 00:13:35.808
That's growing in this tree. there's another side to
00:13:35.875 --> 00:13:36.575
There's another side to the tree.
00:13:36.642 --> 00:13:37.776
The tree. (laughter)
00:13:37.843 --> 00:13:39.245
(laughter) spiritual sins are the sins
00:13:39.311 --> 00:13:40.446
Spiritual sins are the sins against god,
00:13:40.512 --> 00:13:41.280
Against god, idolatry.
00:13:41.347 --> 00:13:42.882
Idolatry. anything that you love more
00:13:42.948 --> 00:13:44.516
Anything that you love more than jesus is an idol.
00:13:44.583 --> 00:13:46.252
Than jesus is an idol. [yes.]
00:13:46.318 --> 00:13:47.853
[yes.] samuel told saul,
00:13:47.920 --> 00:13:49.154
Samuel told saul, "the sin of stubbornness
00:13:49.221 --> 00:13:50.890
"the sin of stubbornness is as idolatry."
00:13:50.956 --> 00:13:51.857
Is as idolatry." when you put your will above
00:13:51.924 --> 00:13:53.259
When you put your will above god's will,
00:13:53.325 --> 00:13:53.993
God's will, your will is the idol.
00:13:54.059 --> 00:13:57.029
Your will is the idol. "hatred,
00:13:57.096 --> 00:13:58.964
"hatred, contention."
00:13:59.031 --> 00:14:00.766
Contention." "contention" is the spirit of
00:14:00.833 --> 00:14:02.268
"contention" is the spirit of disagreement.
00:14:02.334 --> 00:14:02.968
Disagreement. "well, i don't agree
00:14:03.035 --> 00:14:03.802
"well, i don't agree with you."
00:14:03.869 --> 00:14:04.503
With you." why?
00:14:04.570 --> 00:14:05.204
Why? "because i like it."
00:14:05.271 --> 00:14:06.672
"because i like it." (laughter)
00:14:06.739 --> 00:14:07.306
(laughter) and you've got people around
00:14:07.373 --> 00:14:08.073
And you've got people around you right now who are
00:14:08.140 --> 00:14:08.974
You right now who are that way.
00:14:09.041 --> 00:14:10.209
That way. [amen.]
00:14:10.276 --> 00:14:11.443
[amen.] the grass is green.
00:14:11.510 --> 00:14:12.678
The grass is green. "i don't think so."
00:14:12.745 --> 00:14:14.413
"i don't think so." (laughter)
00:14:14.480 --> 00:14:15.347
(laughter) "jealousy."
00:14:15.414 --> 00:14:16.849
"jealousy." jealousy is when you want
00:14:16.916 --> 00:14:18.450
Jealousy is when you want what someone else has,
00:14:18.517 --> 00:14:19.551
What someone else has, and you're willing to take
00:14:19.618 --> 00:14:20.319
And you're willing to take action to get it from them.
00:14:20.386 --> 00:14:22.154
Action to get it from them. [amen.]
00:14:22.221 --> 00:14:23.188
[amen.] "wrath."
00:14:23.255 --> 00:14:24.523
"wrath." you ever seen anybody use
00:14:24.590 --> 00:14:25.557
You ever seen anybody use their temper to try
00:14:25.624 --> 00:14:26.625
Their temper to try and control somebody else?
00:14:26.692 --> 00:14:27.826
And control somebody else? [absolutely.]
00:14:27.893 --> 00:14:28.961
[absolutely.] [yes.]
00:14:29.028 --> 00:14:29.628
[yes.] that's intimidation
00:14:29.695 --> 00:14:30.496
That's intimidation and manipulation,
00:14:30.562 --> 00:14:31.297
And manipulation, which is as witchcraft.
00:14:31.363 --> 00:14:32.965
Which is as witchcraft. "selfish ambition."
00:14:33.032 --> 00:14:35.034
"selfish ambition." selfish ambition is making it
00:14:35.100 --> 00:14:36.735
Selfish ambition is making it look like you're serving
00:14:36.802 --> 00:14:37.970
Look like you're serving others,
00:14:38.037 --> 00:14:38.537
Others, but what you're really doing
00:14:38.604 --> 00:14:39.271
But what you're really doing is trying to position yourself
00:14:39.338 --> 00:14:40.572
Is trying to position yourself for recognition.
00:14:40.639 --> 00:14:44.777
For recognition. you starting to see more
00:14:44.843 --> 00:14:45.544
You starting to see more people you know on this list?
00:14:45.611 --> 00:14:48.247
People you know on this list? "dissension and heresy,"
00:14:48.314 --> 00:14:51.116
"dissension and heresy," trying to create division in
00:14:51.183 --> 00:14:52.651
Trying to create division in the body of christ and utilize
00:14:52.718 --> 00:14:54.553
The body of christ and utilize faults teaching to have it
00:14:54.620 --> 00:14:55.854
Faults teaching to have it your way instead of god's way.
00:14:55.921 --> 00:14:58.490
Your way instead of god's way. [amen.]
00:14:58.557 --> 00:15:00.292
[amen.] if it's in the fruit,
00:15:00.359 --> 00:15:02.661
If it's in the fruit, it's in the root.
00:15:02.728 --> 00:15:06.565
It's in the root. then paul says,
00:15:06.632 --> 00:15:07.466
Then paul says, "well, we're not done yet.
00:15:07.533 --> 00:15:08.701
"well, we're not done yet. there's also social sins."
00:15:08.767 --> 00:15:11.270
There's also social sins." let's go look at those.
00:15:11.337 --> 00:15:13.405
Let's go look at those. social sins are envy
00:15:13.472 --> 00:15:14.840
Social sins are envy and murder and drunkenness.
00:15:14.907 --> 00:15:16.241
And murder and drunkenness. these are easy to identify.
00:15:16.308 --> 00:15:19.611
These are easy to identify. but then he says
00:15:19.678 --> 00:15:20.312
But then he says there's revelry,
00:15:20.379 --> 00:15:22.247
There's revelry, which "revelry" is not a word
00:15:22.314 --> 00:15:23.482
Which "revelry" is not a word that we use much these days,
00:15:23.549 --> 00:15:24.817
That we use much these days, but it really means anything
00:15:24.883 --> 00:15:26.318
But it really means anything in your life that's out of
00:15:26.385 --> 00:15:27.553
In your life that's out of control that you indulge in,
00:15:27.619 --> 00:15:29.688
Control that you indulge in, that you like so much
00:15:29.755 --> 00:15:31.290
That you like so much that when you start,
00:15:31.357 --> 00:15:32.057
That when you start, you can't stop.
00:15:32.124 --> 00:15:34.126
You can't stop. so drunkenness,
00:15:34.193 --> 00:15:35.527
So drunkenness, it means you drank so much
00:15:35.594 --> 00:15:36.495
It means you drank so much alcohol that you're not
00:15:36.562 --> 00:15:37.529
Alcohol that you're not in control of yourself.
00:15:37.596 --> 00:15:39.031
In control of yourself. but how many people want
00:15:39.098 --> 00:15:40.432
But how many people want to say, "well,
00:15:40.499 --> 00:15:41.066
To say, "well, that drunkenness is wrong.
00:15:41.133 --> 00:15:42.034
That drunkenness is wrong. but if i eat a bucket of
00:15:42.101 --> 00:15:43.035
But if i eat a bucket of chicken,
00:15:43.102 --> 00:15:43.602
Chicken, that's okay"?
00:15:43.669 --> 00:15:44.970
That's okay"? (laughter)
00:15:45.037 --> 00:15:45.871
(laughter) maybe it's funding indulgence.
00:15:45.938 --> 00:15:48.107
Maybe it's funding indulgence. you ever know somebody that
00:15:48.173 --> 00:15:49.008
You ever know somebody that has to spend so much that they
00:15:49.074 --> 00:15:50.576
Has to spend so much that they feel good about it?
00:15:50.642 --> 00:15:53.612
Feel good about it? they get high off of maxing
00:15:53.679 --> 00:15:55.681
They get high off of maxing out a credit card.
00:15:55.748 --> 00:15:57.850
Out a credit card. (laughter)
00:15:57.916 --> 00:15:58.884
(laughter) you don't know why.
00:15:58.951 --> 00:16:00.252
You don't know why. [no.]
00:16:00.319 --> 00:16:00.886
[no.] but they do.
00:16:00.953 --> 00:16:02.454
But they do. (laughter)
00:16:02.521 --> 00:16:03.322
(laughter) they can't stop it.
00:16:03.389 --> 00:16:05.257
They can't stop it. "gossip."
00:16:05.324 --> 00:16:08.127
"gossip." some people are like
00:16:08.193 --> 00:16:08.861
Some people are like a shop-vac in a dust bowl.
00:16:08.927 --> 00:16:12.498
A shop-vac in a dust bowl. (laughter)
00:16:12.564 --> 00:16:12.965
(laughter) they just
00:16:13.032 --> 00:16:13.766
They just (makes sucking sound)
00:16:13.832 --> 00:16:14.733
(makes sucking sound) need to know as much dirt
00:16:14.800 --> 00:16:15.701
Need to know as much dirt as they can on everybody.
00:16:15.768 --> 00:16:19.004
As they can on everybody. these are revelries that
00:16:19.071 --> 00:16:21.640
These are revelries that paul says if they're present
00:16:21.707 --> 00:16:23.108
Paul says if they're present in your life,
00:16:23.175 --> 00:16:23.776
In your life, you've got a fruit problem.
00:16:23.842 --> 00:16:24.910
You've got a fruit problem. and if you've got a fruit
00:16:24.977 --> 00:16:25.811
And if you've got a fruit problem,
00:16:25.878 --> 00:16:26.779
Problem, you've got a root problem.
00:16:26.845 --> 00:16:29.748
You've got a root problem. jesus said in matthew 7:16,
00:16:29.815 --> 00:16:32.451
Jesus said in matthew 7:16, "you will know them
00:16:32.518 --> 00:16:34.153
"you will know them by their fruit."
00:16:34.219 --> 00:16:36.188
By their fruit." you can't hide it.
00:16:36.255 --> 00:16:37.222
You can't hide it. it's evident.
00:16:37.289 --> 00:16:39.992
It's evident. and if you're going to produce
00:16:40.059 --> 00:16:40.993
And if you're going to produce the kind of fruit that helps
00:16:41.060 --> 00:16:42.094
The kind of fruit that helps you outgrow depression,
00:16:42.161 --> 00:16:43.695
You outgrow depression, you can't do it on your own,
00:16:43.762 --> 00:16:45.631
You can't do it on your own, because these are the kinds of
00:16:45.697 --> 00:16:46.732
Because these are the kinds of fruits that your flesh
00:16:46.799 --> 00:16:47.933
Fruits that your flesh will produce.
00:16:48.000 --> 00:16:49.501
Will produce. [amen.]
00:16:49.568 --> 00:16:50.235
[amen.] you've got to be led by
00:16:50.302 --> 00:16:51.970
You've got to be led by the spirit.
00:16:52.037 --> 00:16:54.506
The spirit. and led by the spirit,
00:16:54.573 --> 00:16:55.741
And led by the spirit, you encounter god's love.
00:16:55.808 --> 00:16:58.510
You encounter god's love. encountering god's love,
00:16:58.577 --> 00:17:00.079
Encountering god's love, it takes root in your life.
00:17:00.145 --> 00:17:02.614
It takes root in your life. it takes root in your life,
00:17:02.681 --> 00:17:04.416
It takes root in your life, and it produces fruit.
00:17:04.483 --> 00:17:07.453
And it produces fruit. jesus said,
00:17:07.519 --> 00:17:08.020
Jesus said, "this fruit is how my father
00:17:08.087 --> 00:17:09.188
"this fruit is how my father is glorified."
00:17:09.254 --> 00:17:10.255
Is glorified." but then he lists the fruits
00:17:10.322 --> 00:17:11.824
But then he lists the fruits in paul's writing
00:17:11.890 --> 00:17:12.825
In paul's writing in galatians.
00:17:12.891 --> 00:17:14.193
In galatians. he said,
00:17:14.259 --> 00:17:14.693
He said, "the fruit of the spirit."
00:17:14.760 --> 00:17:15.794
"the fruit of the spirit." let's take a look at
00:17:15.861 --> 00:17:16.562
Let's take a look at this tree.
00:17:16.628 --> 00:17:18.730
This tree. it's grown in love,
00:17:18.797 --> 00:17:21.667
It's grown in love, love that never fails.
00:17:21.733 --> 00:17:24.236
Love that never fails. and it includes:
00:17:24.303 --> 00:17:24.937
And it includes: "love, joy,
00:17:25.003 --> 00:17:25.838
"love, joy, peace, longsuffering,
00:17:25.904 --> 00:17:27.172
Peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness,
00:17:27.239 --> 00:17:27.973
Kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness,
00:17:28.040 --> 00:17:29.741
Faithfulness, gentleness, self-control."
00:17:29.808 --> 00:17:31.910
Self-control." now if the roots are from
00:17:31.977 --> 00:17:34.480
Now if the roots are from corinthians,
00:17:34.546 --> 00:17:36.281
Corinthians, how many of you recognize
00:17:36.348 --> 00:17:37.716
How many of you recognize the fruit in galatians found
00:17:37.783 --> 00:17:41.353
The fruit in galatians found in the roots from corinthians?
00:17:41.420 --> 00:17:45.057
In the roots from corinthians? if it's in the root,
00:17:45.124 --> 00:17:47.059
If it's in the root, where can you find it?
00:17:47.126 --> 00:17:48.527
Where can you find it? in the fruit.
00:17:48.594 --> 00:17:50.996
In the fruit. if you grow in god's love,
00:17:51.063 --> 00:17:53.799
If you grow in god's love, you're going to grow love,
00:17:53.866 --> 00:17:55.901
You're going to grow love, which is an antidepressant;

Which is an antidepressant; joy,

Antidepressant; self-control,

Self-control, which is a--

Which is a-- [antidepressant.]
00:18:20.025 --> 00:18:22.561
[antidepressant.] and you don't think that god's
00:18:22.628 --> 00:18:23.662
And you don't think that god's word can't cure what ails you?
00:18:23.729 --> 00:18:26.665
Word can't cure what ails you? [yes, it can.]
00:18:26.732 --> 00:18:28.400
[yes, it can.] he didn't say you grow
00:18:28.467 --> 00:18:29.434
He didn't say you grow love, joy, peace,
00:18:29.501 --> 00:18:30.235
Love, joy, peace, and a prescription.
00:18:30.302 --> 00:18:32.571
And a prescription. (laughter)
00:18:32.638 --> 00:18:34.039
(laughter) [touché.]
00:18:34.106 --> 00:18:34.673
[touché.] he said,
00:18:34.740 --> 00:18:35.374
He said, "plant yourself in my word
00:18:35.440 --> 00:18:36.775
"plant yourself in my word and my word abides in you,
00:18:36.842 --> 00:18:38.477
And my word abides in you, and my joy will be your joy,
00:18:38.544 --> 00:18:40.212
And my joy will be your joy, and your joy will be pull."
00:18:40.279 --> 00:18:42.581
And your joy will be pull." [amen.]
00:18:42.648 --> 00:18:43.115
[amen.] how is it evidenced?
00:18:43.182 --> 00:18:45.817
How is it evidenced? "that you love --" who?
00:18:45.884 --> 00:18:48.687
"that you love --" who? "-- one another."
00:18:48.754 --> 00:18:50.122
"-- one another." the fruit that the spirit
00:18:50.189 --> 00:18:51.924
The fruit that the spirit produces in your life is for
00:18:51.990 --> 00:18:54.927
Produces in your life is for the picking,
00:18:54.993 --> 00:18:56.929
The picking, not preserving.
00:18:56.995 --> 00:19:00.032
Not preserving. some people want love,
00:19:00.098 --> 00:19:01.166
Some people want love, joy, peace,
00:19:01.233 --> 00:19:01.934
Joy, peace, and they want to can it
00:19:02.000 --> 00:19:03.101
And they want to can it all for themselves.
00:19:03.168 --> 00:19:04.503
All for themselves. but trees don't grow fruit
00:19:04.570 --> 00:19:06.271
But trees don't grow fruit for themselves.
00:19:06.338 --> 00:19:06.939
For themselves. apple trees don't grow apples
00:19:07.005 --> 00:19:08.941
Apple trees don't grow apples for apples.
00:19:09.007 --> 00:19:12.110
For apples. fruit is grown to be picked.
00:19:12.177 --> 00:19:15.547
Fruit is grown to be picked. and one of the problems that
00:19:15.614 --> 00:19:16.515
And one of the problems that we have in the church today is
00:19:16.582 --> 00:19:18.050
We have in the church today is that we put a "no trespassing"
00:19:18.116 --> 00:19:19.451
That we put a "no trespassing" sign around our tree.
00:19:19.518 --> 00:19:21.954
Sign around our tree. "don't touch me.
00:19:22.020 --> 00:19:24.790
"don't touch me. don't come near me.
00:19:24.856 --> 00:19:26.892
Don't come near me. don't bother me.
00:19:26.959 --> 00:19:28.927
Don't bother me. don't ask me.
00:19:28.994 --> 00:19:31.296
Don't ask me. don't involve me,
00:19:31.363 --> 00:19:32.631
Don't involve me, just let me come to church,
00:19:32.698 --> 00:19:33.799
Just let me come to church, get fed, watered,
00:19:33.865 --> 00:19:34.766
Get fed, watered, and sent out.
00:19:34.833 --> 00:19:35.867
And sent out. but don't pick anything
00:19:35.934 --> 00:19:37.436
But don't pick anything off of me."
00:19:37.502 --> 00:19:41.740
Off of me." and that's not why you produce
00:19:41.807 --> 00:19:42.908
And that's not why you produce fruit.
00:19:42.975 --> 00:19:46.044
Fruit. galatians 6 is where paul kind
00:19:46.111 --> 00:19:47.980
Galatians 6 is where paul kind of summarizes this letter to
00:19:48.046 --> 00:19:49.815
Of summarizes this letter to the church in galatia.
00:19:49.881 --> 00:19:51.984
The church in galatia. and he's upset with them.
00:19:52.050 --> 00:19:54.086
And he's upset with them. they think that they can do
00:19:54.152 --> 00:19:55.420
They think that they can do god's thing their way.
00:19:55.487 --> 00:19:58.390
God's thing their way. that's why he said
00:19:58.457 --> 00:19:59.258
That's why he said in galatians 3,
00:19:59.324 --> 00:20:00.192
In galatians 3, "you foolish galatians.
00:20:00.259 --> 00:20:02.294
"you foolish galatians. who deceived you?"
00:20:02.361 --> 00:20:04.963
Who deceived you?" and then he starts talking
00:20:05.030 --> 00:20:05.797
And then he starts talking about this love that christ
00:20:05.864 --> 00:20:08.834
About this love that christ had for them and how they have
00:20:08.900 --> 00:20:10.969
Had for them and how they have to walk in the spirit
00:20:11.036 --> 00:20:12.004
To walk in the spirit to produce the fruit
00:20:12.070 --> 00:20:13.405
To produce the fruit of the spirit.
00:20:13.472 --> 00:20:14.172
Of the spirit. and then he gets to
00:20:14.239 --> 00:20:14.940
And then he gets to galatians 6 where he says,
00:20:15.007 --> 00:20:16.375
Galatians 6 where he says, "god isn't mocked.
00:20:16.441 --> 00:20:18.577
"god isn't mocked. if you sow in the flesh,
00:20:18.644 --> 00:20:19.578
If you sow in the flesh, you're going reap
00:20:19.645 --> 00:20:20.145
You're going reap in the flesh.
00:20:20.212 --> 00:20:20.712
In the flesh. if you sow in the spirit,
00:20:20.779 --> 00:20:21.580
If you sow in the spirit, you're going to reap
00:20:21.647 --> 00:20:22.347
You're going to reap in the spirit."
00:20:22.414 --> 00:20:23.849
In the spirit." and the kind of the love
00:20:23.915 --> 00:20:24.783
And the kind of the love and the kind of fruit that
00:20:24.850 --> 00:20:25.617
And the kind of fruit that he's talking about,
00:20:25.684 --> 00:20:26.518
He's talking about, he's saying,
00:20:26.585 --> 00:20:27.252
He's saying, let as many people as want
00:20:27.319 --> 00:20:29.054
Let as many people as want pick it,
00:20:29.121 --> 00:20:32.024
Pick it, which is why in galatians,
00:20:32.090 --> 00:20:32.891
Which is why in galatians, he says,
00:20:32.958 --> 00:20:33.425
He says, "bear one another's burdens,
00:20:33.492 --> 00:20:37.396
"bear one another's burdens, in so doing,
00:20:37.462 --> 00:20:38.430
In so doing, you fulfill the law
00:20:38.497 --> 00:20:39.564
You fulfill the law of christ,"
00:20:39.631 --> 00:20:40.165
Of christ," by loving one another.
00:20:40.232 --> 00:20:42.801
By loving one another. the joy in my life is not
00:20:42.868 --> 00:20:44.703
The joy in my life is not for me.
00:20:44.770 --> 00:20:45.437
For me. the joy in my life is for you.
00:20:45.504 --> 00:20:47.706
The joy in my life is for you. when you are joy deficient,
00:20:47.773 --> 00:20:49.474
When you are joy deficient, you say,
00:20:49.541 --> 00:20:49.941
You say, "pastor matt,
00:20:50.008 --> 00:20:50.509
"pastor matt, i need some joy."
00:20:50.575 --> 00:20:51.510
I need some joy." and i say,
00:20:51.576 --> 00:20:52.044
And i say, "go ahead and take some.
00:20:52.110 --> 00:20:52.711
"go ahead and take some. i got it."
00:20:52.778 --> 00:20:53.845
I got it." [amen.]
00:20:53.912 --> 00:20:54.913
[amen.] the peace in your life
00:20:54.980 --> 00:20:56.281
The peace in your life is not for you.
00:20:56.348 --> 00:20:58.283
Is not for you. the peace in your life
00:20:58.350 --> 00:20:59.551
The peace in your life is for me.
00:20:59.618 --> 00:21:00.385
Is for me. when i say,
00:21:00.452 --> 00:21:00.952
When i say, "this concerns me,"
00:21:01.019 --> 00:21:01.787
"this concerns me," you say, "don't worry
00:21:01.853 --> 00:21:02.454
You say, "don't worry about that, pastor.
00:21:02.521 --> 00:21:03.121
About that, pastor. we got your back."
00:21:03.188 --> 00:21:04.222
We got your back." [amen.]
00:21:04.289 --> 00:21:05.090
[amen.] you can borrow some of
00:21:05.157 --> 00:21:05.924
You can borrow some of my peace.
00:21:05.991 --> 00:21:06.925
My peace. [there you go.]
00:21:06.992 --> 00:21:07.826
[there you go.] now the problem is,
00:21:07.893 --> 00:21:08.927
Now the problem is, if i come to you and you don't
00:21:08.994 --> 00:21:10.629
If i come to you and you don't have any of the fruit
00:21:10.696 --> 00:21:11.596
Have any of the fruit of the spirit,
00:21:11.663 --> 00:21:12.197
Of the spirit, all you've got is the lust of
00:21:12.264 --> 00:21:13.231
All you've got is the lust of the flesh,
00:21:13.298 --> 00:21:13.865
The flesh, what can i pick?!
00:21:13.932 --> 00:21:15.200
What can i pick?! [that's good.]
00:21:15.267 --> 00:21:17.069
[that's good.] and if you come to me
00:21:17.135 --> 00:21:17.936
And if you come to me and i'm picked over,
00:21:18.003 --> 00:21:20.672
And i'm picked over, what can you take?
00:21:20.739 --> 00:21:23.008
What can you take? ♪ music ♪
00:21:23.075 --> 00:21:24.976
♪ music ♪ now why did paul tell
00:21:25.043 --> 00:21:26.845
Now why did paul tell the galatians,
00:21:26.912 --> 00:21:29.848
The galatians, "do not grow weary
00:21:29.915 --> 00:21:31.817
"do not grow weary while doing good"?
00:21:31.883 --> 00:21:34.886
While doing good"? because some of the people
00:21:34.953 --> 00:21:35.687
Because some of the people in the church were saying,
00:21:35.754 --> 00:21:36.588
In the church were saying, "you know what?
00:21:36.655 --> 00:21:37.322
"you know what? i'm tired of getting
00:21:37.389 --> 00:21:38.156
I'm tired of getting picked on.
00:21:38.223 --> 00:21:40.892
Picked on. all they do is pick, pick,
00:21:40.959 --> 00:21:42.127
All they do is pick, pick, pick, pick, pick,
00:21:42.194 --> 00:21:42.961
Pick, pick, pick, pick, pick."
00:21:43.028 --> 00:21:46.598
Pick, pick." and in church,
00:21:46.665 --> 00:21:47.199
And in church, sometimes there's a lot of
00:21:47.265 --> 00:21:48.233
Sometimes there's a lot of pickers and not--
00:21:48.300 --> 00:21:49.368
Pickers and not-- not a lot of providers.
00:21:49.434 --> 00:21:53.305
Not a lot of providers. but the problem with that
00:21:53.372 --> 00:21:54.139
But the problem with that attitude is that you are
00:21:54.206 --> 00:21:55.540
Attitude is that you are looking to a man to replenish
00:21:55.607 --> 00:21:57.309
Looking to a man to replenish you.
00:21:57.376 --> 00:22:00.045
You. if i expect you to fill me up,
00:22:00.112 --> 00:22:02.781
If i expect you to fill me up, i'm going to be severely
00:22:02.848 --> 00:22:03.849
I'm going to be severely disappointed.
00:22:03.915 --> 00:22:05.584
Disappointed. [that's right.]
00:22:05.650 --> 00:22:06.418
[that's right.] and if you expect me to
00:22:06.485 --> 00:22:07.452
And if you expect me to fill you up,
00:22:07.519 --> 00:22:08.286
Fill you up, you will be severely
00:22:08.353 --> 00:22:09.855
You will be severely disappointed.
00:22:09.921 --> 00:22:10.756
Disappointed. [yes.]

[yes.] because you are not my source,
00:22:12.858 --> 00:22:15.193
Because you are not my source, and i am not your source.
00:22:15.260 --> 00:22:17.229
And i am not your source. [that's right.]
00:22:17.295 --> 00:22:18.196
[that's right.] (applause)
00:22:18.263 --> 00:22:20.265
(applause) there's only one source.
00:22:20.332 --> 00:22:22.834
There's only one source. this is called
00:22:22.901 --> 00:22:23.402
This is called "the fruit of the --" what?
00:22:23.468 --> 00:22:25.437
"the fruit of the --" what? "-- spirit."
00:22:25.504 --> 00:22:27.472
"-- spirit." it's not mine.
00:22:27.539 --> 00:22:29.908
It's not mine. if you pick joy out of
00:22:29.975 --> 00:22:31.476
If you pick joy out of my life,
00:22:31.543 --> 00:22:32.177
My life, it wasn't my joy to begin
00:22:32.244 --> 00:22:33.578
It wasn't my joy to begin with.
00:22:33.645 --> 00:22:34.746
With. it was his joy.

[that's right.] if you pick love,
00:22:36.848 --> 00:22:37.716
If you pick love, it wasn't my love.
00:22:37.783 --> 00:22:38.750
It wasn't my love. it was his love.
00:22:38.817 --> 00:22:39.618
It was his love. if you pick patience,
00:22:39.684 --> 00:22:40.685
If you pick patience, it wasn't my patience.
00:22:40.752 --> 00:22:41.720
It wasn't my patience. it was his patience.
00:22:41.787 --> 00:22:42.754
It was his patience. if you pick gentleness,
00:22:42.821 --> 00:22:44.122
If you pick gentleness, it wasn't mine.
00:22:44.189 --> 00:22:45.023
It wasn't mine. it was his.
00:22:45.090 --> 00:22:45.757
It was his. if you pick kindness,
00:22:45.824 --> 00:22:46.825
If you pick kindness, it wasn't mine.

And if he sees me let you pick it,
00:22:55.567 --> 00:22:57.736
Pick it, he says,
00:22:57.803 --> 00:22:58.203
He says, "angels, refill that tree."
00:22:58.270 --> 00:23:00.572
"angels, refill that tree." [woo!]
00:23:00.639 --> 00:23:01.506
[woo!] "refill that guy."
00:23:01.573 --> 00:23:02.841
"refill that guy." (applause)
00:23:02.908 --> 00:23:06.478

He's not growing weary while doing good.
00:23:07.879 --> 00:23:09.514
While doing good. he's allowing people to pick

He's allowing people to pick the fruit of the spirit
00:23:11.283 --> 00:23:11.950
The fruit of the spirit that's growing in him,
00:23:12.017 --> 00:23:13.118
That's growing in him, which is why paul said,
00:23:13.185 --> 00:23:14.419
Which is why paul said, "do not grow weary
00:23:14.486 --> 00:23:15.187
"do not grow weary in well doing,
00:23:15.253 --> 00:23:16.321
In well doing, for in due season you will
00:23:16.388 --> 00:23:20.192
For in due season you will reap if you do not
00:23:20.258 --> 00:23:22.260
Reap if you do not lose heart."
00:23:22.327 --> 00:23:23.395
