- 00:00:24.952 --> 00:00:25.986
- The treasure they call the kentucky hoard.
- 00:00:26.053 --> 00:00:28.789
- The kentucky hoard. here's how it goes.
- 00:00:28.856 --> 00:00:29.490
- Here's how it goes. "one day, a farmer is walking
- 00:00:29.557 --> 00:00:30.958
- "one day, a farmer is walking through a field that he and his
- 00:00:31.025 --> 00:00:33.194
- Through a field that he and his family have farmed for decades.
- 00:00:33.260 --> 00:00:36.030
- Family have farmed for decades. and while he's walking
- 00:00:36.097 --> 00:00:36.897
- And while he's walking and checking the condition
- 00:00:36.964 --> 00:00:38.165
- And checking the condition of his crops and the soil,
- 00:00:38.232 --> 00:00:40.234
- Of his crops and the soil, he looks down in the dirt
- 00:00:40.301 --> 00:00:41.435
- He looks down in the dirt and he sees the ridge
- 00:00:41.502 --> 00:00:43.437
- And he sees the ridge of what he suspects
- 00:00:43.504 --> 00:00:44.371
- Of what he suspects to be a gold coin.
- 00:00:44.438 --> 00:00:47.041
- To be a gold coin. he takes a little time
- 00:00:47.108 --> 00:00:47.975
- He takes a little time to investigate further,
- 00:00:48.042 --> 00:00:49.844
- To investigate further, and he digs up the ridge
- 00:00:49.910 --> 00:00:51.445
- And he digs up the ridge of that one particular coin.
- 00:00:51.512 --> 00:00:53.547
- Of that one particular coin. and when he cleans it off,
- 00:00:53.614 --> 00:00:54.915

- He recognizes it to be an 1863 gold double eagle coin.
- 00:00:56.350 --> 00:01:01.288
- 1863 gold double eagle coin. now, in 1863 a gold double
- 00:01:01.355 --> 00:01:04.058
- Now, in 1863 a gold double eagle was worth $20.
- 00:01:04.125 --> 00:01:06.127
- Eagle was worth $20. in 2023, it was worth
- 00:01:06.193 --> 00:01:09.563
- In 2023, it was worth quite a bit more.
- 00:01:09.630 --> 00:01:12.233
- Quite a bit more. thinking there might be more --
- 00:01:12.299 --> 00:01:13.400
- Thinking there might be more -- this is actual footage
- 00:01:13.467 --> 00:01:14.368
- This is actual footage of this kentucky farmer.
- 00:01:14.435 --> 00:01:16.737
- He continued to dig a little
- 00:01:16.837 --> 00:01:18.372
- Here and a little there,
- 00:01:18.439 --> 00:01:19.373
- And in a radius
- 00:01:19.440 --> 00:01:20.107
- Of about 30 feet,
- 00:01:20.174 --> 00:01:22.476

- 00:01:38.592 --> 00:01:39.927
- Took that coin collection to public office --

- That's a pretty good day corn farming, wouldn't you say?
- 00:01:49.436 --> 00:01:53.507
- Corn farming, wouldn't you say? but centuries before
- 00:01:53.574 --> 00:01:54.842
- But centuries before this modern-day story
- 00:01:54.909 --> 00:01:57.578
- This modern-day story of a treasure in kentucky,
- 00:01:57.645 --> 00:01:59.613
- Of a treasure in kentucky, jesus christ opened his mouth
- 00:01:59.680 --> 00:02:01.715
- Jesus christ opened his mouth to share a parable with those
- 00:02:01.782 --> 00:02:03.951
- To share a parable with those who were listening about what
- 00:02:04.018 --> 00:02:06.020
- Who were listening about what the kingdom of heaven was like.
- 00:02:06.086 --> 00:02:08.289
- The kingdom of heaven was like. and that's what we find
- 00:02:08.355 --> 00:02:09.690
- And that's what we find in matthew 13:44.
- 00:02:09.757 --> 00:02:13.360
- In matthew 13:44. if you've found it, say, "amen."

- Pastor matt: read with me. "again, the kingdom of heaven is
- 00:02:16.430 --> 00:02:19.266
- "again, the kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field,
- 00:02:19.333 --> 00:02:21.969
- Like treasure hidden in a field, which a man found and hid;
- 00:02:22.036 --> 00:02:24.705
- Which a man found and hid; and for joy over it he goes
- 00:02:24.772 --> 00:02:27.841
- And for joy over it he goes and sells all that he has
- 00:02:27.908 --> 00:02:30.110
- And sells all that he has and he buys that field."
- 00:02:30.177 --> 00:02:32.980
- And he buys that field." heavenly father, help us today
- 00:02:33.047 --> 00:02:36.884
- Heavenly father, help us today to see and to know how much
- 00:02:36.951 --> 00:02:38.719
- To see and to know how much you dearly love us.
- 00:02:38.786 --> 00:02:40.487
- You dearly love us. help us to recognize what a joy
- 00:02:40.554 --> 00:02:43.257
- Help us to recognize what a joy it is to be sought after
- 00:02:43.324 --> 00:02:46.026
- It is to be sought after by the king of kings
- 00:02:46.093 --> 00:02:47.061
- By the king of kings and the lord of lords.
- 00:02:47.127 --> 00:02:49.230
- And the lord of lords. and let us be willing
- 00:02:49.296 --> 00:02:49.897
- And let us be willing to do as you have done,
- 00:02:49.964 --> 00:02:52.132
- To do as you have done, give all that we have
- 00:02:52.199 --> 00:02:52.900
- Give all that we have to possess the treasure
- 00:02:52.967 --> 00:02:54.068
- To possess the treasure of your kingdom.
- 00:02:54.134 --> 00:02:55.970
- Of your kingdom. in jesus' name we pray and ask.
- 00:02:56.036 --> 00:02:58.472
- In jesus' name we pray and ask. all of god's children said,
- 00:02:58.539 --> 00:02:59.607
- All of god's children said, "amen."
- 00:02:59.673 --> 00:03:00.574
- "amen." you may be seated.
- 00:03:00.641 --> 00:03:02.576
- In matthew 13:44,
- 00:03:03.444 --> 00:03:05.379
- In matthew 13:44, jesus is sharing
- 00:03:05.446 --> 00:03:07.615
- Jesus is sharing a parallel truth.
- 00:03:07.681 --> 00:03:10.584
- A parallel truth. when jesus begins
- 00:03:10.651 --> 00:03:11.452
- When jesus begins his parable talking about
- 00:03:11.518 --> 00:03:12.553
- His parable talking about a man walking in a field
- 00:03:12.620 --> 00:03:14.521
- A man walking in a field looking for treasure,
- 00:03:14.588 --> 00:03:16.123
- Looking for treasure, he's describing himself
- 00:03:16.190 --> 00:03:19.893
- He's describing himself and he's looking for you.
- 00:03:19.960 --> 00:03:24.064
- And he's looking for you. jesus christ came looking
- 00:03:24.131 --> 00:03:26.400
- Jesus christ came looking in the field of the world
- 00:03:26.467 --> 00:03:28.168
- In the field of the world that god had created,
- 00:03:28.235 --> 00:03:30.437
- That god had created, and what he was searching for
- 00:03:30.504 --> 00:03:32.072
- And what he was searching for were those who needed to be
- 00:03:32.139 --> 00:03:33.807
- Were those who needed to be redeemed and saved.
- 00:03:33.874 --> 00:03:36.277
- Redeemed and saved. as astounding
- 00:03:36.343 --> 00:03:36.877
- As astounding as that thought is,
- 00:03:36.944 --> 00:03:38.412
- As that thought is, even more unbelievable
- 00:03:38.479 --> 00:03:41.982
- Even more unbelievable is the idea that god,
- 00:03:42.049 --> 00:03:44.018
- Is the idea that god, in his sovereignty knew
- 00:03:44.084 --> 00:03:45.686
- In his sovereignty knew what was going to happen
- 00:03:45.753 --> 00:03:46.987
- What was going to happen when he created man.
- 00:03:47.054 --> 00:03:49.757
- When he created man. he knew that we would need
- 00:03:49.823 --> 00:03:51.492
- He knew that we would need to be redeemed before
- 00:03:51.558 --> 00:03:52.860
- To be redeemed before we knew we needed a redeemer.
- 00:03:52.926 --> 00:03:55.329
- We knew we needed a redeemer. knowing that it would
- 00:03:55.396 --> 00:03:56.263
- Knowing that it would cost jesus his life,
- 00:03:56.330 --> 00:03:58.098
- Cost jesus his life, he still said,
- 00:03:58.165 --> 00:03:59.233
- He still said, "let us make man
- 00:03:59.300 --> 00:04:00.501
- "let us make man in our own image."
- 00:04:00.567 --> 00:04:03.270
- In our own image." he knew we would fall.
- 00:04:03.337 --> 00:04:04.905
- He knew we would fall. he knew that the seed
- 00:04:04.972 --> 00:04:06.073
- He knew that the seed of the woman would have
- 00:04:06.140 --> 00:04:06.940
- Of the woman would have to come and crush
- 00:04:07.007 --> 00:04:07.708
- To come and crush the head of the serpent.
- 00:04:07.775 --> 00:04:08.742
- The head of the serpent. he knew that the wages
- 00:04:08.809 --> 00:04:10.044
- He knew that the wages of sin would be death,
- 00:04:10.110 --> 00:04:11.412
- Of sin would be death, and that we wouldn't
- 00:04:11.478 --> 00:04:12.346
- And that we wouldn't have the ability
- 00:04:12.413 --> 00:04:13.314
- Have the ability to pay the debt.
- 00:04:13.380 --> 00:04:14.315
- It didn't take adam
- 00:04:16.250 --> 00:04:17.251
- It didn't take adam very long to bury us.
- 00:04:17.318 --> 00:04:20.688
- Very long to bury us. god treasured us,
- 00:04:20.754 --> 00:04:23.524
- God treasured us, sin buried us.
- 00:04:23.590 --> 00:04:26.927
- Sin buried us. buried in a death sentence.
- 00:04:26.994 --> 00:04:29.563
- Buried in a death sentence. buried under a yoke
- 00:04:29.630 --> 00:04:30.464
- Buried under a yoke and a burden that's too
- 00:04:30.531 --> 00:04:31.498
- And a burden that's too heavy to carry.
- 00:04:31.565 --> 00:04:33.767
- Heavy to carry. buried in chains of bondage
- 00:04:33.834 --> 00:04:35.269
- Buried in chains of bondage that were too thick to break.
- 00:04:35.336 --> 00:04:37.538
- That were too thick to break. buried under mountains of guilt
- 00:04:37.604 --> 00:04:39.973
- Buried under mountains of guilt and oceans of shame.
- 00:04:40.040 --> 00:04:42.743
- And oceans of shame. and there we were, buried,
- 00:04:42.810 --> 00:04:45.446
- And there we were, buried, until galatians 4:4 says,
- 00:04:45.512 --> 00:04:48.182
- Until galatians 4:4 says, "in the fullness of time..."
- 00:04:48.248 --> 00:04:50.718
- "in the fullness of time..." say that with me.
- 00:04:50.784 --> 00:04:51.285
- Say that with me. "in the fullness of time."
- 00:04:51.352 --> 00:04:54.521
- "in the fullness of time." god always has perfect timing.
- 00:04:54.588 --> 00:04:58.759
- God always has perfect timing. you might think you've been
- 00:04:58.826 --> 00:04:59.927
- You might think you've been waiting a little too long,
- 00:04:59.993 --> 00:05:01.028
- Waiting a little too long, but god says,
- 00:05:01.095 --> 00:05:01.795
- But god says, "i'm right on time."
- 00:05:01.862 --> 00:05:04.198
- "i'm right on time." he says,
- 00:05:04.264 --> 00:05:04.431
- He says, "in the fullness of time,
- 00:05:04.498 --> 00:05:05.866
- "in the fullness of time, he sent forth his son,
- 00:05:05.933 --> 00:05:08.068
- He sent forth his son, born of a woman,
- 00:05:08.135 --> 00:05:09.536
- Born of a woman, born under the law,
- 00:05:09.603 --> 00:05:11.338
- Born under the law, born to redeem those
- 00:05:11.405 --> 00:05:12.806
- Born to redeem those who were under the law
- 00:05:12.873 --> 00:05:13.907
- Who were under the law that we might receive
- 00:05:13.974 --> 00:05:15.476
- That we might receive the adoption as sons."
- 00:05:15.542 --> 00:05:17.177
- The adoption as sons." when the time was right,
- 00:05:17.244 --> 00:05:18.579
- When the time was right, god sent exactly who we needed,
- 00:05:18.645 --> 00:05:21.648
- God sent exactly who we needed, like we needed him,
- 00:05:21.715 --> 00:05:22.616
- Like we needed him, to do exactly what
- 00:05:22.683 --> 00:05:23.984
- To do exactly what only he could do.
- 00:05:24.051 --> 00:05:25.152
- Only he could do. and now you and i,
- 00:05:25.219 --> 00:05:26.286
- And now you and i, who were outside,
- 00:05:26.353 --> 00:05:27.654
- Who were outside, have been grafted into
- 00:05:27.721 --> 00:05:29.390
- Have been grafted into a covenant relationship we had
- 00:05:29.456 --> 00:05:31.525
- A covenant relationship we had no business being a part of.
- 00:05:31.592 --> 00:05:33.227
- No business being a part of. we've been written
- 00:05:33.293 --> 00:05:34.328
- We've been written into a contract,
- 00:05:34.395 --> 00:05:35.729
- Into a contract, signed in the blood
- 00:05:35.796 --> 00:05:36.697
- Signed in the blood of the precious lamb of god
- 00:05:36.764 --> 00:05:38.465
- Of the precious lamb of god that calls you a son,
- 00:05:38.532 --> 00:05:40.200
- That calls you a son, and you a daughter.
- 00:05:40.267 --> 00:05:41.535
- And you a daughter. that where sin did abound,
- 00:05:41.602 --> 00:05:43.203
- That where sin did abound, his grace did that
- 00:05:43.270 --> 00:05:44.438
- His grace did that much more abound.
- 00:05:44.505 --> 00:05:45.506
- Much more abound. and we are now able
- 00:05:45.572 --> 00:05:46.707
- And we are now able to go into heavenly places
- 00:05:46.774 --> 00:05:48.342
- To go into heavenly places in the mighty name of jesus
- 00:05:48.409 --> 00:05:50.010
- In the mighty name of jesus and boldly enter
- 00:05:50.077 --> 00:05:51.278
- And boldly enter the throne room of grace and
- 00:05:51.345 --> 00:05:52.780
- The throne room of grace and find mercy in our hour of need.
- 00:05:52.846 --> 00:05:55.482
- Find mercy in our hour of need. oh, praise the mighty name

- Now, the thing that
- 00:12:03.283 --> 00:12:03.884
- Now, the thing that i appreciate about jesus
- 00:12:03.950 --> 00:12:04.985
- I appreciate about jesus everywhere you find him
- 00:12:05.051 --> 00:12:06.086
- Everywhere you find him in the bible is that
- 00:12:06.153 --> 00:12:07.854
- In the bible is that he never asks us to do what
- 00:12:07.921 --> 00:12:09.790
- He never asks us to do what he hasn't already done.
- 00:12:09.856 --> 00:12:12.893
- He hasn't already done. one of the things that causes
- 00:12:12.959 --> 00:12:13.927
- One of the things that causes tremendous frustration
- 00:12:13.994 --> 00:12:15.028
- Tremendous frustration in the world that we live in
- 00:12:15.095 --> 00:12:16.196
- In the world that we live in is that we live in a time
- 00:12:16.263 --> 00:12:17.631
- Is that we live in a time where leaders want
- 00:12:17.697 --> 00:12:18.732
- Where leaders want to tell us but not show us.
- 00:12:18.799 --> 00:12:22.469
- To tell us but not show us. they wanna pass laws,
- 00:12:22.536 --> 00:12:23.670
- They wanna pass laws, but not live under them.
- 00:12:23.737 --> 00:12:24.671
- [applause]
- 00:12:25.205 --> 00:12:31.812
- But that's not jesus.
- 00:12:32.345 --> 00:12:34.481
- But that's not jesus. jesus said,
- 00:12:34.548 --> 00:12:35.348
- Jesus said, "if you'll do what i do,
- 00:12:35.415 --> 00:12:37.684
- "if you'll do what i do, you'll have what i have."
- 00:12:37.751 --> 00:12:40.387
- You'll have what i have." this is why hebrews 12:2 says,
- 00:12:40.453 --> 00:12:42.189
- This is why hebrews 12:2 says, "looking to jesus..."
- 00:12:42.255 --> 00:12:44.057
- "looking to jesus..." say that with me,
- 00:12:44.124 --> 00:12:44.658
- Say that with me, "looking to jesus."
- 00:12:44.724 --> 00:12:46.693
- "looking to jesus." he's saying, "do what i did.
- 00:12:46.760 --> 00:12:49.596
- He's saying, "do what i did. i found the treasure.
- 00:12:49.663 --> 00:12:50.897
- I found the treasure. i gave everything
- 00:12:50.964 --> 00:12:52.165
- I gave everything i had with joy.
- 00:12:52.232 --> 00:12:55.001
- I had with joy. you want the treasure
- 00:12:55.068 --> 00:12:55.869
- You want the treasure of my kingdom?
- 00:12:55.936 --> 00:12:57.070
- Of my kingdom? give everything
- 00:12:57.137 --> 00:12:57.804
- Give everything you have with joy."
- 00:12:57.871 --> 00:13:00.774
- You have with joy." what is it that
- 00:13:00.841 --> 00:13:01.241
- What is it that jesus asks us to do?
- 00:13:01.308 --> 00:13:02.876
- Jesus asks us to do? he's asked us to pray.
- 00:13:02.943 --> 00:13:05.979
- He's asked us to pray. matthew 6:7, he said,
- 00:13:06.046 --> 00:13:07.948
- Matthew 6:7, he said, "when you pray."
- 00:13:08.014 --> 00:13:10.851
- "when you pray." this was not a request,
- 00:13:10.917 --> 00:13:11.885
- This was not a request, this was a command.
- 00:13:11.952 --> 00:13:14.654
- This was a command. throughout the bible,
- 00:13:14.721 --> 00:13:15.455
- Throughout the bible, you read about jesus praying.
- 00:13:15.522 --> 00:13:18.992
- You read about jesus praying. peter, he told peter the night
- 00:13:19.059 --> 00:13:21.828
- Peter, he told peter the night that he was arrested, he said,
- 00:13:21.895 --> 00:13:23.063
- That he was arrested, he said, "peter, satan has asked
- 00:13:23.129 --> 00:13:24.898
- "peter, satan has asked for you that he might
- 00:13:24.965 --> 00:13:25.899
- For you that he might shake you and sift you,
- 00:13:25.966 --> 00:13:27.133
- Shake you and sift you, but i have prayed for you."
- 00:13:27.200 --> 00:13:29.870
- But i have prayed for you." what is jesus doing
- 00:13:29.936 --> 00:13:30.904
- What is jesus doing right now?
- 00:13:30.971 --> 00:13:31.571
- Right now? 1 john 2:1 says
- 00:13:31.638 --> 00:13:33.573
- 1 john 2:1 says you and i have an advocate
- 00:13:33.640 --> 00:13:35.308
- You and i have an advocate with the father.
- 00:13:35.375 --> 00:13:36.576
- With the father. who is it?
- 00:13:36.643 --> 00:13:37.043
- Who is it? it's jesus christ.
- 00:13:37.110 --> 00:13:38.111
- It's jesus christ. he's sitting right next
- 00:13:38.178 --> 00:13:39.179
- He's sitting right next to god and he's talking
- 00:13:39.246 --> 00:13:40.780
- To god and he's talking to god about you.
- 00:13:40.847 --> 00:13:42.415
- To god about you. he's praying for you like
- 00:13:42.482 --> 00:13:43.817
- He's praying for you like he was praying for peter.
- 00:13:43.884 --> 00:13:46.119
- He was praying for peter. jesus doesn't ask you
- 00:13:46.186 --> 00:13:47.053
- Jesus doesn't ask you to pray without first
- 00:13:47.120 --> 00:13:48.288
- To pray without first showing you how to pray.
- 00:13:48.355 --> 00:13:51.358
- Showing you how to pray. then he said, "when you give."
- 00:13:51.424 --> 00:13:54.227
- Then he said, "when you give." he expects you to give.
- 00:13:54.294 --> 00:13:57.697
- He expects you to give. why?
- 00:13:57.764 --> 00:13:58.665
- Why? because he was a giver.
- 00:13:58.732 --> 00:14:01.401
- Because he was a giver. 2 corinthians 9:7-8,
- 00:14:01.468 --> 00:14:03.470
- 2 corinthians 9:7-8, it says, "let each one
- 00:14:03.536 --> 00:14:04.704
- It says, "let each one give as he purposes
- 00:14:04.771 --> 00:14:06.106
- Give as he purposes in his heart,
- 00:14:06.172 --> 00:14:07.007
- In his heart, not grudgingly."
- 00:14:07.073 --> 00:14:08.675
- You ought to see how
- 00:14:10.577 --> 00:14:11.511
- You ought to see how some of god's kids look
- 00:14:11.578 --> 00:14:12.612
- Some of god's kids look when it's time to give.
- 00:14:12.679 --> 00:14:17.050
- When it's time to give. some of them give grudgingly.
- 00:14:17.117 --> 00:14:22.789
- Some of them give grudgingly. and god says, "when you give,
- 00:14:22.856 --> 00:14:23.690
- And god says, "when you give, don't give like that."
- 00:14:23.757 --> 00:14:25.859
- Don't give like that." why?
- 00:14:25.926 --> 00:14:26.326
- Why? because that's not
- 00:14:26.393 --> 00:14:26.826
- Because that's not how jesus gave.
- 00:14:26.893 --> 00:14:29.696
- How jesus gave. he gave what he gave
- 00:14:29.763 --> 00:14:30.497
- He gave what he gave for you with joy.
- 00:14:30.563 --> 00:14:35.235
- For you with joy. and in this verse we read,
- 00:14:35.302 --> 00:14:36.169
- And in this verse we read, "the lord loves
- 00:14:36.236 --> 00:14:37.971
- "the lord loves a cheerful giver."
- 00:14:38.038 --> 00:14:40.907
- A cheerful giver." and then, in the verse
- 00:14:40.974 --> 00:14:41.508
- And then, in the verse that follows, it says,
- 00:14:41.574 --> 00:14:42.442
- That follows, it says, "god is able to make
- 00:14:42.509 --> 00:14:43.543
- "god is able to make all grace..."
- 00:14:43.610 --> 00:14:44.978
- All grace..." now, i don't know about you,
- 00:14:45.045 --> 00:14:46.079
- Now, i don't know about you, but i thank god for grace
- 00:14:46.146 --> 00:14:48.949
- But i thank god for grace because grace gives you
- 00:14:49.015 --> 00:14:50.183
- Because grace gives you what you did not deserve
- 00:14:50.250 --> 00:14:51.484
- What you did not deserve and what you did not earn.
- 00:14:51.551 --> 00:14:53.486
- And what you did not earn. anybody else thank god
- 00:14:53.553 --> 00:14:54.454
- Anybody else thank god for grace?
- 00:14:54.521 --> 00:14:56.189
- For grace? he said, "i'll make
- 00:14:56.256 --> 00:14:56.990
- He said, "i'll make all grace abound towards you
- 00:14:57.057 --> 00:14:59.492
- All grace abound towards you so that you will have
- 00:14:59.559 --> 00:15:00.460
- So that you will have all sufficiency in all
- 00:15:00.527 --> 00:15:02.829
- All sufficiency in all things and have abundance
- 00:15:02.896 --> 00:15:04.631
- Things and have abundance for every good work."
- 00:15:04.698 --> 00:15:06.299
- For every good work." if god gave that to you,
- 00:15:06.366 --> 00:15:08.435
- If god gave that to you, how would you be willing
- 00:15:08.501 --> 00:15:09.602
- How would you be willing to give to him?
- 00:15:09.669 --> 00:15:10.737
- To give to him? christ joyfully
- 00:15:10.804 --> 00:15:12.005
- Christ joyfully and cheerfully denied
- 00:15:12.072 --> 00:15:13.373
- And cheerfully denied himself so that you would
- 00:15:13.440 --> 00:15:15.642
- Himself so that you would have access to the kingdom.
- 00:15:15.709 --> 00:15:17.010
- Have access to the kingdom. and what he's asking you to do
- 00:15:17.077 --> 00:15:18.611
- And what he's asking you to do is joyfully and cheerfully give
- 00:15:18.678 --> 00:15:20.747
- Is joyfully and cheerfully give yourself so that you can unlock
- 00:15:20.814 --> 00:15:23.083
- Yourself so that you can unlock the treasure that he's already
- 00:15:23.149 --> 00:15:24.784
- The treasure that he's already purchased on your behalf.
- 00:15:24.851 --> 00:15:28.455
- Purchased on your behalf. he never asks us to do what
- 00:15:28.521 --> 00:15:30.190
- He never asks us to do what he hasn't first done himself.
- 00:15:30.256 --> 00:15:31.658
- He hasn't first done himself. he wants us to be kind
- 00:15:31.725 --> 00:15:33.493
- He wants us to be kind to one another.
- 00:15:33.560 --> 00:15:35.562
- To one another. "be ye kind, one to another,
- 00:15:35.628 --> 00:15:37.364
- "be ye kind, one to another, tenderhearted,
- 00:15:37.430 --> 00:15:38.098
- Tenderhearted, forgiving one another."
- 00:15:38.164 --> 00:15:40.433
- Forgiving one another." oh, if god's kids could
- 00:15:40.500 --> 00:15:42.068
- Oh, if god's kids could forgive each other.
- 00:15:42.135 --> 00:15:44.637
- Forgive each other. not you.
- 00:15:44.704 --> 00:15:47.173
- Not you. kids you know about.
- 00:15:47.240 --> 00:15:50.844
- Kids you know about. and how do you know
- 00:15:50.910 --> 00:15:51.578
- And how do you know that he wanted us to do
- 00:15:51.644 --> 00:15:52.445
- That he wanted us to do that like he did it?
- 00:15:52.512 --> 00:15:53.446
- That like he did it? because that verse says,
- 00:15:53.513 --> 00:15:54.514
- Because that verse says, "be kind to another,
- 00:15:54.581 --> 00:15:55.749
- "be kind to another, forgive one another
- 00:15:55.815 --> 00:15:56.850
- Forgive one another even as god forgave you
- 00:15:56.916 --> 00:16:00.253
- Even as god forgave you in christ jesus."
- 00:16:00.320 --> 00:16:01.654
- God gives us an example
- 00:16:04.824 --> 00:16:06.126
- God gives us an example in his son jesus,
- 00:16:06.192 --> 00:16:08.028
- In his son jesus, and it's a parallel
- 00:16:08.094 --> 00:16:08.795
- And it's a parallel in this parable.
- 00:16:08.862 --> 00:16:12.032
- In this parable. notice first the pattern.
- 00:16:12.098 --> 00:16:14.401
- Notice first the pattern. where was jesus when
- 00:16:14.467 --> 00:16:15.568
- Where was jesus when he found the treasure?
- 00:16:15.635 --> 00:16:17.270
- He found the treasure? in the field.
- 00:16:17.337 --> 00:16:19.072
- In the field. where will you be
- 00:16:19.139 --> 00:16:20.273
- Where will you be when you find what
- 00:16:20.340 --> 00:16:21.474
- When you find what you're looking for?
- 00:16:21.541 --> 00:16:23.510
- You're looking for? in the field, working,
- 00:16:23.576 --> 00:16:27.080
- In the field, working, moving, doing something.
- 00:16:27.147 --> 00:16:29.149
- God sent his son
- 00:16:30.950 --> 00:16:32.585
- God sent his son to find the treasure,
- 00:16:32.652 --> 00:16:34.888
- To find the treasure, and he went to work
- 00:16:34.954 --> 00:16:35.522
- And he went to work looking for the treasure.
- 00:16:35.588 --> 00:16:36.723
- Looking for the treasure. and then, when he found
- 00:16:36.790 --> 00:16:37.857
- And then, when he found the treasure, he bought
- 00:16:37.924 --> 00:16:39.225
- The treasure, he bought the field with joy.
- 00:16:39.292 --> 00:16:41.995
- The field with joy. how you view work will
- 00:16:42.062 --> 00:16:43.630
- How you view work will determine how you do work.
- 00:16:43.696 --> 00:16:47.634
- Determine how you do work. one of the reasons why this
- 00:16:47.700 --> 00:16:48.735
- One of the reasons why this generation doesn't like to work
- 00:16:48.802 --> 00:16:50.303
- Generation doesn't like to work is because all they get to do
- 00:16:50.370 --> 00:16:51.471
- Is because all they get to do is listen to their parents
- 00:16:51.538 --> 00:16:52.439
- Is listen to their parents complain about work.
- 00:16:52.505 --> 00:16:57.377

- I'm the only one. i know how it goes.
- 00:17:52.665 --> 00:17:57.203
- I know how it goes. how you view it
- 00:17:57.270 --> 00:17:58.037
- How you view it is how you'll do it.

- 00:18:10.183 --> 00:18:14.454
- You're doing. oftentimes, people start out
- 00:18:14.521 --> 00:18:15.488
- Oftentimes, people start out serving the lord with
- 00:18:15.555 --> 00:18:16.523
- Serving the lord with joy in their heart,
- 00:18:16.589 --> 00:18:19.125
- Joy in their heart, and then over time,
- 00:18:19.192 --> 00:18:19.759
- And then over time, service becomes a grudge,
- 00:18:19.826 --> 00:18:21.194
- Service becomes a grudge, a burden that they've
- 00:18:21.261 --> 00:18:21.761
- A burden that they've got to bear.
- 00:18:21.828 --> 00:18:24.564
- Got to bear. but that's not what god said.
- 00:18:24.631 --> 00:18:25.398
- But that's not what god said. he said, "serve with gladness."
- 00:18:25.465 --> 00:18:29.435
- He said, "serve with gladness." psalms 100:2, it says,
- 00:18:29.502 --> 00:18:31.671
- Psalms 100:2, it says, "serve the lord," how?

- Glad people smile. and sometimes, god's servants
- 00:18:39.078 --> 00:18:40.380
- And sometimes, god's servants must be smiling on their
- 00:18:40.446 --> 00:18:41.614
- Must be smiling on their heart because their face
- 00:18:41.681 --> 00:18:42.849
- Heart because their face doesn't show it.
- 00:18:42.916 --> 00:18:47.554
- Doesn't show it. but how you view it
- 00:18:47.620 --> 00:18:49.289
- But how you view it is how you do it.
- 00:18:49.355 --> 00:18:53.259
- Is how you do it. some people say,
- 00:18:53.326 --> 00:18:53.626
- Some people say, "well, i don't know
- 00:18:53.693 --> 00:18:54.093

- Do you look at it like, "what a privilege."
- 00:20:27.987 --> 00:20:31.457

- 00:21:18.871 --> 00:21:19.605
- Than the angels, but you've given me
- 00:21:19.672 --> 00:21:20.573

- Patient with me? how could you give
- 00:21:30.383 --> 00:21:31.284

- Ask for more?" what i'm telling you, church,
- 00:21:42.028 --> 00:21:43.096
