  • Pastor matt hagee: simple
  • 00:00:13.974 --> 00:00:14.442
  • Pastor matt hagee: simple is not always easy.
  • 00:00:14.508 --> 00:00:17.678
  • Is not always easy. knowing right and doing right
  • 00:00:17.745 --> 00:00:20.147
  • Knowing right and doing right is often a difficult difference.
  • 00:00:20.214 --> 00:00:22.917
  • Is often a difficult difference. how many of you have ever
  • 00:00:22.983 --> 00:00:23.717
  • How many of you have ever known better, you just
  • 00:00:23.784 --> 00:00:25.619
  • Known better, you just didn't do better?
  • 00:00:25.686 --> 00:00:28.022
  • Didn't do better? i mean, you knew that you
  • 00:00:28.089 --> 00:00:29.557
  • I mean, you knew that you wanted to be mr. nice guy,
  • 00:00:29.623 --> 00:00:31.258
  • Wanted to be mr. nice guy, but mr. nasty showed up.
  • 00:00:31.325 --> 00:00:32.726
  • [laughter]
  • 00:00:33.494 --> 00:00:34.061
  • You knew that
  • 00:00:35.262 --> 00:00:36.063
  • You knew that you would never...
  • 00:00:36.130 --> 00:00:37.231
  • You would never... fill in the blank.
  • 00:00:37.298 --> 00:00:38.632
  • Fill in the blank. "i'll never eat that again.
  • 00:00:38.699 --> 00:00:40.534
  • "i'll never eat that again. i'll never say that again.
  • 00:00:40.601 --> 00:00:42.336
  • I'll never say that again. i'll never do that again.
  • 00:00:42.403 --> 00:00:44.238
  • I'll never do that again. i'll never drink that again.
  • 00:00:44.305 --> 00:00:46.273
  • I'll never drink that again. i'll never try that again."
  • 00:00:46.340 --> 00:00:48.576
  • I'll never try that again." and somewhere along the way,
  • 00:00:48.642 --> 00:00:50.211
  • And somewhere along the way, you just threw out
  • 00:00:50.277 --> 00:00:51.445
  • You just threw out the, "never again"
  • 00:00:51.512 --> 00:00:52.413
  • The, "never again" and go right back to doing
  • 00:00:52.480 --> 00:00:54.014
  • And go right back to doing what you vowed you'd never do.
  • 00:00:54.081 --> 00:00:55.549
  • What you vowed you'd never do. anybody witness or testify?
  • 00:00:55.616 --> 00:00:57.151
  • Anybody witness or testify? not you, but somebody
  • 00:00:57.218 --> 00:00:58.219
  • Not you, but somebody you know does that.
  • 00:00:58.285 --> 00:00:59.820
  • Knowing better is simple.
  • 00:01:04.859 --> 00:01:06.260
  • Knowing better is simple. doing better is not always easy.
  • 00:01:06.327 --> 00:01:09.230
  • Doing better is not always easy. and one of the reasons why
  • 00:01:09.296 --> 00:01:10.798
  • And one of the reasons why that is is because
  • 00:01:10.865 --> 00:01:11.832
  • That is is because it's in your dna.
  • 00:01:11.899 --> 00:01:15.603
  • It's in your dna. we all have dna.
  • 00:01:15.669 --> 00:01:19.039
  • We all have dna. and dna if you wanna know what
  • 00:01:19.106 --> 00:01:20.741
  • And dna if you wanna know what it means scientifically,
  • 00:01:20.808 --> 00:01:22.343
  • It means scientifically, basically it means
  • 00:01:22.409 --> 00:01:23.878
  • Basically it means the genetic material
  • 00:01:23.944 --> 00:01:25.012
  • The genetic material that's in the cell that
  • 00:01:25.079 --> 00:01:27.348
  • That's in the cell that makes you who you are.
  • 00:01:27.414 --> 00:01:30.551
  • Makes you who you are. so, for example,
  • 00:01:30.618 --> 00:01:32.386
  • So, for example, if mama was tall
  • 00:01:32.453 --> 00:01:33.888
  • If mama was tall and daddy was tall,
  • 00:01:33.954 --> 00:01:35.356
  • And daddy was tall, your dna is probably gonna be...
  • 00:01:35.422 --> 00:01:37.525
  • Your dna is probably gonna be... congregation: tall.
  • 00:01:37.591 --> 00:01:39.760
  • Congregation: tall. pastor matt: show you some
  • 00:01:39.827 --> 00:01:40.394
  • Pastor matt: show you some examples of dna.
  • 00:01:40.461 --> 00:01:42.263
  • Examples of dna. this is a picture of my
  • 00:01:42.329 --> 00:01:43.464
  • This is a picture of my grandmother, ms. vada hagee,
  • 00:01:43.531 --> 00:01:46.100
  • Grandmother, ms. vada hagee, who was born in 1913,
  • 00:01:46.167 --> 00:01:48.602
  • Who was born in 1913, and my daughter, hannah hagee,
  • 00:01:48.669 --> 00:01:51.005
  • And my daughter, hannah hagee, who was born in 2005.
  • 00:01:51.071 --> 00:01:53.240
  • Who was born in 2005. these two are 92 years apart.
  • 00:01:53.307 --> 00:01:55.009

  • Now, joel's picture was taken at the post office.
  • 00:02:16.730 --> 00:02:17.765
  • Taken at the post office. it wasn't his mug shot
  • 00:02:17.831 --> 00:02:18.632
  • It wasn't his mug shot for his crimes.
  • 00:02:18.699 --> 00:02:19.567
  • [laughter]
  • 00:02:19.900 --> 00:02:20.901
  • But we were taking
  • 00:02:22.236 --> 00:02:23.037
  • But we were taking a passport photo,
  • 00:02:23.103 --> 00:02:24.238

  • Kendall was looking at the picture,
  • 00:02:37.918 --> 00:02:38.285
  • At the picture, she's like, "oh my goodness,
  • 00:02:38.352 --> 00:02:39.186
  • She's like, "oh my goodness, he looks so mean."
  • 00:02:39.253 --> 00:02:40.321
  • He looks so mean." i said, "no, he doesn't.
  • 00:02:40.387 --> 00:02:42.456
  • I said, "no, he doesn't. he looks like his grandfather."
  • 00:02:42.523 --> 00:02:43.991
  • [laughter]
  • 00:02:44.391 --> 00:02:46.393
  • Now, dad's picture was not
  • 00:02:46.961 --> 00:02:48.362
  • Now, dad's picture was not in the post office.
  • 00:02:48.429 --> 00:02:49.163
  • In the post office. dad's picture was
  • 00:02:49.230 --> 00:02:50.164
  • Dad's picture was in the school yearbook.
  • 00:02:50.231 --> 00:02:53.400
  • In the school yearbook. this was dad's class photo
  • 00:02:53.467 --> 00:02:55.236
  • This was dad's class photo in the first grade.
  • 00:02:55.302 --> 00:02:57.371
  • In the first grade. and when you ask him,
  • 00:02:57.438 --> 00:02:58.172
  • And when you ask him, "why did you look like that?"
  • 00:02:58.239 --> 00:02:59.340
  • "why did you look like that?" he says, "i didn't wanna
  • 00:02:59.406 --> 00:03:00.241
  • He says, "i didn't wanna be there."
  • 00:03:00.307 --> 00:03:01.175
  • [laughter]
  • 00:03:01.475 --> 00:03:02.042
  • But tell me it doesn't
  • 00:03:03.811 --> 00:03:05.246
  • But tell me it doesn't run in the family.
  • 00:03:05.312 --> 00:03:07.982
  • Run in the family. now, i mean, one more.
  • 00:03:08.048 --> 00:03:08.549
  • Now, i mean, one more. let's look at one more
  • 00:03:08.616 --> 00:03:09.416
  • Let's look at one more just for fun.
  • 00:03:09.483 --> 00:03:10.117
  • Just for fun. this is hannah and j.w.
  • 00:03:10.184 --> 00:03:11.885
  • This is hannah and j.w. j.w. is two.
  • 00:03:11.952 --> 00:03:13.153
  • J.w. is two. we tried to reenact
  • 00:03:13.220 --> 00:03:14.121
  • We tried to reenact that picture,
  • 00:03:14.188 --> 00:03:14.655
  • That picture, but we couldn't do it.
  • 00:03:14.722 --> 00:03:16.056
  • But we couldn't do it. he's now taller than me.
  • 00:03:16.123 --> 00:03:18.125
  • He's now taller than me. so anyway, he's two,
  • 00:03:18.192 --> 00:03:20.194
  • So anyway, he's two, hannah's four,
  • 00:03:20.261 --> 00:03:21.829
  • Hannah's four, and then this is hannah
  • 00:03:21.895 --> 00:03:22.730
  • And then this is hannah and j.w. in this picture,
  • 00:03:22.796 --> 00:03:24.164
  • And j.w. in this picture, she's 18 and he's 16.
  • 00:03:24.231 --> 00:03:27.868
  • She's 18 and he's 16. now, the reason i show you
  • 00:03:27.935 --> 00:03:29.069
  • Now, the reason i show you this one is not so you can
  • 00:03:29.136 --> 00:03:30.204
  • This one is not so you can compare and contrast,
  • 00:03:30.271 --> 00:03:31.238
  • Compare and contrast, but when they have grandkids
  • 00:03:31.305 --> 00:03:33.407
  • But when they have grandkids that are two and four,
  • 00:03:33.474 --> 00:03:34.842
  • That are two and four, you know who they're gonna
  • 00:03:34.908 --> 00:03:35.542
  • You know who they're gonna look like?
  • 00:03:35.609 --> 00:03:36.176
  • Look like? the handsome dude in
  • 00:03:36.243 --> 00:03:37.611
  • The handsome dude in the middle of picture one.
  • 00:03:37.678 --> 00:03:38.879
  • The middle of picture one. that's...
  • 00:03:38.946 --> 00:03:39.647
  • [laughter]
  • 00:03:39.980 --> 00:03:40.948
  • That's how those grandkids
  • 00:03:41.348 --> 00:03:42.950
  • That's how those grandkids are gonna come out because
  • 00:03:43.017 --> 00:03:45.352
  • Are gonna come out because it runs in the family.
  • 00:03:45.419 --> 00:03:48.922
  • It runs in the family. the thing about dna is
  • 00:03:48.989 --> 00:03:49.857
  • The thing about dna is you can't escape it.
  • 00:03:49.923 --> 00:03:51.058
  • You can't escape it. it's there whether
  • 00:03:51.125 --> 00:03:52.159
  • It's there whether you want it or not.
  • 00:03:52.226 --> 00:03:53.327
  • You want it or not. so, i would propose that
  • 00:03:53.394 --> 00:03:55.195
  • So, i would propose that dna does not only stand
  • 00:03:55.262 --> 00:03:56.697
  • Dna does not only stand for deoxyribonucleic acid,
  • 00:03:56.764 --> 00:03:58.766
  • For deoxyribonucleic acid, but it also stands for
  • 00:03:58.832 --> 00:04:00.467
  • But it also stands for did not ask for it.
  • 00:04:00.534 --> 00:04:03.637
  • [laughter]
  • 00:04:03.971 --> 00:04:06.173
  • I didn't ask for it.
  • 00:04:07.374 --> 00:04:08.042
  • I didn't ask for it. this is what they
  • 00:04:08.108 --> 00:04:08.742
  • This is what they issued me in 1978.
  • 00:04:08.809 --> 00:04:11.178
  • Issued me in 1978. i'm just doing
  • 00:04:11.245 --> 00:04:11.578
  • I'm just doing the best i can with it.
  • 00:04:11.645 --> 00:04:14.315
  • The best i can with it. you didn't ask for your talents.
  • 00:04:14.381 --> 00:04:15.649
  • You didn't ask for your talents. you didn't ask for your gifts.
  • 00:04:15.716 --> 00:04:16.984
  • You didn't ask for your gifts. you didn't ask for
  • 00:04:17.051 --> 00:04:17.985
  • You didn't ask for your tendencies.
  • 00:04:18.052 --> 00:04:19.053
  • Your tendencies. it's just there.
  • 00:04:19.119 --> 00:04:22.089
  • It's just there. people ask, "how did you
  • 00:04:22.156 --> 00:04:23.324
  • People ask, "how did you learn to do this?
  • 00:04:23.390 --> 00:04:23.957
  • Learn to do this? or how do you know to do that?"
  • 00:04:24.024 --> 00:04:25.192
  • Or how do you know to do that?" and you really don't know.
  • 00:04:25.259 --> 00:04:26.427
  • And you really don't know. and the reason you don't know is
  • 00:04:26.493 --> 00:04:27.628
  • And the reason you don't know is because it runs in the family.
  • 00:04:27.695 --> 00:04:30.331
  • Because it runs in the family. it's not just height
  • 00:04:30.397 --> 00:04:31.632
  • It's not just height and weight and hair color,
  • 00:04:31.699 --> 00:04:33.267
  • And weight and hair color, it's also behavioral,
  • 00:04:33.334 --> 00:04:35.302
  • It's also behavioral, and it's spiritual.
  • 00:04:35.369 --> 00:04:38.038
  • And it's spiritual. look at verse 33 in proverbs 3.
  • 00:04:38.105 --> 00:04:41.275
  • Look at verse 33 in proverbs 3. it says, "the curse of the lord
  • 00:04:41.342 --> 00:04:43.344
  • It says, "the curse of the lord is on the house of the wicked."
  • 00:04:43.410 --> 00:04:46.613
  • Is on the house of the wicked." there's two houses that solomon
  • 00:04:46.680 --> 00:04:48.082
  • There's two houses that solomon is talking about here.
  • 00:04:48.148 --> 00:04:49.883
  • Is talking about here. and he says, "if you are
  • 00:04:49.950 --> 00:04:50.984
  • And he says, "if you are in the house of the wicked,
  • 00:04:51.051 --> 00:04:52.186
  • In the house of the wicked, the curse of the lord
  • 00:04:52.252 --> 00:04:53.354
  • The curse of the lord is upon you."
  • 00:04:53.420 --> 00:04:55.422
  • Is upon you." but then he flips
  • 00:04:55.489 --> 00:04:56.223
  • But then he flips the verse, and he says,
  • 00:04:56.290 --> 00:04:57.624
  • The verse, and he says, "but the lord will bless
  • 00:04:57.691 --> 00:04:58.892
  • "but the lord will bless the house of the just."
  • 00:04:58.959 --> 00:05:00.461
  • The house of the just." how many of you see
  • 00:05:00.527 --> 00:05:01.695
  • How many of you see a difference between
  • 00:05:01.762 --> 00:05:02.429
  • A difference between a curse in one house
  • 00:05:02.496 --> 00:05:04.131
  • A curse in one house and a blessing in another?
  • 00:05:04.198 --> 00:05:06.533
  • And a blessing in another? where you want to get
  • 00:05:06.600 --> 00:05:07.301
  • Where you want to get your mail at?
  • 00:05:07.368 --> 00:05:08.936
  • Your mail at? this one.
  • 00:05:09.002 --> 00:05:10.804
  • This one. then he goes
  • 00:05:10.871 --> 00:05:11.238
  • Then he goes to the next verse.
  • 00:05:11.305 --> 00:05:13.707
  • To the next verse. he says in verse 34,
  • 00:05:13.774 --> 00:05:15.042
  • He says in verse 34, "he scorns the scornful."
  • 00:05:15.109 --> 00:05:17.644
  • "he scorns the scornful." what does that mean?
  • 00:05:17.711 --> 00:05:18.445
  • What does that mean? he scorns the scornful.
  • 00:05:18.512 --> 00:05:20.080
  • He scorns the scornful. when you scorn something,
  • 00:05:20.147 --> 00:05:21.648
  • When you scorn something, it means you act as if
  • 00:05:21.715 --> 00:05:23.484
  • It means you act as if it doesn't exist.
  • 00:05:23.550 --> 00:05:25.819
  • It doesn't exist. a scornful child is the kind
  • 00:05:25.886 --> 00:05:27.020
  • A scornful child is the kind of child that when mom says,
  • 00:05:27.087 --> 00:05:29.089
  • Of child that when mom says, "clean your room,"
  • 00:05:29.156 --> 00:05:29.690
  • "clean your room," he goes, "yeah, right."
  • 00:05:29.757 --> 00:05:32.860
  • He goes, "yeah, right." so, the scornful person towards
  • 00:05:32.926 --> 00:05:34.461
  • So, the scornful person towards god is a person who acts
  • 00:05:34.528 --> 00:05:35.696
  • God is a person who acts like god doesn't exist.
  • 00:05:35.763 --> 00:05:39.400
  • Like god doesn't exist. and god didn't say,
  • 00:05:39.466 --> 00:05:40.033
  • And god didn't say, "whenever you act like that,
  • 00:05:40.100 --> 00:05:41.301
  • "whenever you act like that, i'm gonna have
  • 00:05:41.368 --> 00:05:42.069
  • I'm gonna have my feelings hurt."
  • 00:05:42.136 --> 00:05:42.970
  • My feelings hurt." god says, "if you act like
  • 00:05:43.036 --> 00:05:44.104
  • God says, "if you act like i don't exist, guess what?
  • 00:05:44.171 --> 00:05:45.839
  • I don't exist, guess what? i'm gonna act like
  • 00:05:45.906 --> 00:05:46.974
  • I'm gonna act like you don't exist."
  • 00:05:47.040 --> 00:05:49.777
  • You don't exist." and since he controls things
  • 00:05:49.843 --> 00:05:50.978
  • And since he controls things like your heartbeat
  • 00:05:51.044 --> 00:05:52.179
  • Like your heartbeat and your breath, trust me,
  • 00:05:52.246 --> 00:05:53.313
  • And your breath, trust me, you want him to remember you.
  • 00:05:53.380 --> 00:05:57.184
  • You want him to remember you. and then he goes
  • 00:05:57.251 --> 00:05:57.684
  • And then he goes one verse further.
  • 00:05:57.751 --> 00:05:58.385
  • One verse further. he says, "the wise
  • 00:05:58.452 --> 00:06:00.754
  • He says, "the wise shall inherit glory."
  • 00:06:00.821 --> 00:06:03.090
  • Shall inherit glory." the fear of the lord
  • 00:06:03.157 --> 00:06:03.891
  • The fear of the lord is the beginning of wisdom,
  • 00:06:03.957 --> 00:06:04.958
  • Is the beginning of wisdom, and it's where
  • 00:06:05.025 --> 00:06:05.526
  • And it's where knowledge is found.
  • 00:06:05.592 --> 00:06:07.094
  • Knowledge is found. so, those who are reverent
  • 00:06:07.161 --> 00:06:08.395
  • So, those who are reverent and obedient and have
  • 00:06:08.462 --> 00:06:09.430
  • And obedient and have an honor of god
  • 00:06:09.496 --> 00:06:11.064
  • An honor of god are the ones who are
  • 00:06:11.131 --> 00:06:11.999
  • Are the ones who are promised to inherit glory.
  • 00:06:12.065 --> 00:06:13.267
  • Promised to inherit glory. and then it says,
  • 00:06:13.333 --> 00:06:14.034
  • And then it says, "and the inheritance of fools
  • 00:06:14.101 --> 00:06:15.602
  • "and the inheritance of fools is going to be shame."
  • 00:06:15.669 --> 00:06:18.705
  • Is going to be shame." the point is, you have
  • 00:06:18.772 --> 00:06:20.607
  • The point is, you have a choice when it
  • 00:06:20.674 --> 00:06:23.076
  • A choice when it comes to your dna.
  • 00:06:23.143 --> 00:06:26.547
  • Comes to your dna. you may not be able to pick
  • 00:06:26.613 --> 00:06:27.681
  • You may not be able to pick how you physically look,
  • 00:06:27.748 --> 00:06:29.817
  • How you physically look, but you do get
  • 00:06:29.883 --> 00:06:30.984
  • But you do get to pick your nature.
  • 00:06:31.051 --> 00:06:34.054
  • To pick your nature. because dna doesn't only stand
  • 00:06:34.121 --> 00:06:36.223
  • Because dna doesn't only stand for deoxyribonucleic acid,
  • 00:06:36.290 --> 00:06:41.061
  • For deoxyribonucleic acid, and it doesn't only stand for,
  • 00:06:41.128 --> 00:06:42.062
  • And it doesn't only stand for, did not ask for it,
  • 00:06:42.129 --> 00:06:44.331
  • Did not ask for it, but dna also stands for
  • 00:06:44.398 --> 00:06:45.866
  • But dna also stands for developed natural approach.
  • 00:06:45.933 --> 00:06:49.903
  • Developed natural approach. and here's what i mean.
  • 00:06:49.970 --> 00:06:52.306
  • And here's what i mean. your behavioral dna comes from
  • 00:06:52.372 --> 00:06:54.608
  • Your behavioral dna comes from how you saw things done
  • 00:06:54.675 --> 00:06:56.643
  • How you saw things done when you were a child.
  • 00:06:56.710 --> 00:07:00.147
  • When you were a child. the situations
  • 00:07:00.214 --> 00:07:00.747
  • The situations and the circumstances that
  • 00:07:00.814 --> 00:07:01.615
  • And the circumstances that your family went through,
  • 00:07:01.682 --> 00:07:03.116
  • Your family went through, you developed a natural approach
  • 00:07:03.183 --> 00:07:05.385
  • You developed a natural approach about how you are going
  • 00:07:05.452 --> 00:07:06.653
  • About how you are going to take on those challenges.
  • 00:07:06.720 --> 00:07:08.755
  • To take on those challenges. how you saw others do it
  • 00:07:08.822 --> 00:07:10.357
  • How you saw others do it is how you do it.
  • 00:07:10.424 --> 00:07:11.358
  • Is how you do it. we call this mentoring.
  • 00:07:11.425 --> 00:07:13.994
  • We call this mentoring. when you go to work
  • 00:07:14.061 --> 00:07:14.695
  • When you go to work at a business,
  • 00:07:14.761 --> 00:07:15.329
  • At a business, sometimes they'll give you
  • 00:07:15.395 --> 00:07:16.230
  • Sometimes they'll give you a mentor so that you can
  • 00:07:16.296 --> 00:07:17.531
  • A mentor so that you can learn how that business
  • 00:07:17.598 --> 00:07:18.799
  • Learn how that business wants things done,
  • 00:07:18.866 --> 00:07:19.833
  • Wants things done, and then you do things
  • 00:07:19.900 --> 00:07:21.034
  • And then you do things like they did.
  • 00:07:21.101 --> 00:07:22.035
  • Like they did. why?
  • 00:07:22.102 --> 00:07:22.402
  • Why? because you have
  • 00:07:22.469 --> 00:07:23.937
  • Because you have a developed natural approach.
  • 00:07:24.004 --> 00:07:26.273
  • A developed natural approach. the disciples, they acted like
  • 00:07:26.340 --> 00:07:27.841
  • The disciples, they acted like jesus to the point that
  • 00:07:27.908 --> 00:07:29.309
  • Jesus to the point that they no longer called them
  • 00:07:29.376 --> 00:07:30.077
  • They no longer called them disciples of jesus,
  • 00:07:30.143 --> 00:07:31.245
  • Disciples of jesus, they called them
  • 00:07:31.311 --> 00:07:31.678
  • They called them christians because they
  • 00:07:31.745 --> 00:07:34.014
  • Christians because they acted like christ.
  • 00:07:34.081 --> 00:07:36.583
  • Acted like christ. people come to me
  • 00:07:36.650 --> 00:07:37.284
  • People come to me and they say,
  • 00:07:37.351 --> 00:07:37.684
  • And they say, "you preach just
  • 00:07:37.751 --> 00:07:38.485
  • "you preach just like your dad."
  • 00:07:38.552 --> 00:07:39.186
  • Like your dad." well, duh.

  • Well, duh. who do you think

  • "i didn't learn to cook in your kitchen.
  • 00:07:47.160 --> 00:07:47.995
  • In your kitchen. i learned in her kitchen."
  • 00:07:48.061 --> 00:07:51.698
  • I learned in her kitchen." now, it's for the good
  • 00:07:51.765 --> 00:07:53.200

  • It says, "if anyone is in christ,
  • 00:09:09.876 --> 00:09:11.278
  • "if anyone is in christ, he is a new creation."
  • 00:09:11.345 --> 00:09:14.181

  • So, if it runs in the family and you get to choose
  • 00:11:24.711 --> 00:11:28.982
  • And you get to choose the natural stuff that
  • 00:11:29.049 --> 00:11:29.983
  • The natural stuff that you didn't ask for

  • Or the divine stuff that you don't deserve,
  • 00:11:34.254 --> 00:11:38.992
  • That you don't deserve, the question is,
  • 00:11:39.059 --> 00:11:39.426
  • The question is, which family are you
  • 00:11:39.493 --> 00:11:41.328
  • Which family are you running with?
  • 00:11:41.394 --> 00:11:43.764
  • Running with? it runs in the family.
  • 00:11:43.830 --> 00:11:45.298
  • It runs in the family. you pick which one
  • 00:11:45.365 --> 00:11:46.199
  • You pick which one you run with.
  • 00:11:46.266 --> 00:11:49.970
  • You run with. you know what's in
  • 00:11:50.036 --> 00:11:51.104
  • You know what's in the natural one,
  • 00:11:51.171 --> 00:11:55.442
  • The natural one, but jesus gave you
  • 00:11:55.509 --> 00:11:56.343
  • But jesus gave you the gift of a new one.
  • 00:11:56.409 --> 00:11:59.913
  • The gift of a new one. romans 5 clearly defines
  • 00:11:59.980 --> 00:12:01.748
  • Romans 5 clearly defines these two families.
  • 00:12:01.815 --> 00:12:02.549
  • These two families. it talks about one family
  • 00:12:02.616 --> 00:12:04.251
  • It talks about one family that's born of sin.
  • 00:12:04.317 --> 00:12:07.120
  • That's born of sin. in verse 12, it says,
  • 00:12:07.187 --> 00:12:07.821
  • In verse 12, it says, "through one man,
  • 00:12:07.888 --> 00:12:08.855
  • "through one man, sin entered the world
  • 00:12:08.922 --> 00:12:10.557
  • Sin entered the world and death through sin,
  • 00:12:10.624 --> 00:12:14.327
  • And death through sin, and this death
  • 00:12:14.394 --> 00:12:15.162
  • And this death spread to all men."
  • 00:12:15.228 --> 00:12:17.798
  • Spread to all men." it was contagious
  • 00:12:17.864 --> 00:12:20.066
  • It was contagious because all have sinned.
  • 00:12:20.133 --> 00:12:21.802
  • Because all have sinned. say that with me,
  • 00:12:21.868 --> 00:12:22.969
  • Say that with me, "all have sinned."
  • 00:12:23.036 --> 00:12:25.472
  • "all have sinned." so, when i tell you that sin
  • 00:12:25.539 --> 00:12:27.140
  • So, when i tell you that sin runs in the family,
  • 00:12:27.207 --> 00:12:30.744
  • Runs in the family, it's true.
  • 00:12:30.811 --> 00:12:33.980
  • It's true. so, romans 5:14, it says,
  • 00:12:34.047 --> 00:12:35.415
  • So, romans 5:14, it says, "nevertheless, death reigned."
  • 00:12:35.482 --> 00:12:37.417
  • "nevertheless, death reigned." reigned is an official term,
  • 00:12:37.484 --> 00:12:39.186
  • Reigned is an official term, meaning that it ruled.
  • 00:12:39.252 --> 00:12:40.220
  • Meaning that it ruled. it literally sat on
  • 00:12:40.287 --> 00:12:41.021
  • It literally sat on the throne until
  • 00:12:41.087 --> 00:12:43.356
  • The throne until jesus christ knocked it off.
  • 00:12:43.423 --> 00:12:46.426
  • Jesus christ knocked it off. "death reigned from
  • 00:12:46.493 --> 00:12:47.961
  • "death reigned from adam to moses,
  • 00:12:48.028 --> 00:12:48.862
  • Adam to moses, even over those who
  • 00:12:48.929 --> 00:12:50.230
  • Even over those who had not sinned according
  • 00:12:50.297 --> 00:12:52.566
  • Had not sinned according to the likeness
  • 00:12:52.632 --> 00:12:53.300
  • To the likeness of the transgression of adam."
  • 00:12:53.366 --> 00:12:54.835
  • Of the transgression of adam." see, understand
  • 00:12:54.901 --> 00:12:55.635
  • See, understand the language here.
  • 00:12:55.702 --> 00:12:56.736
  • The language here. it says that death
  • 00:12:56.803 --> 00:12:58.238
  • It says that death ruled over everything
  • 00:12:58.305 --> 00:13:00.707
  • Ruled over everything from adam to moses,
  • 00:13:00.774 --> 00:13:02.509
  • From adam to moses, even over those
  • 00:13:02.576 --> 00:13:03.310
  • Even over those who had not sinned.
  • 00:13:03.376 --> 00:13:05.111
  • Who had not sinned. that's you and i.
  • 00:13:05.178 --> 00:13:06.813
  • That's you and i. i know some of you may have
  • 00:13:06.880 --> 00:13:07.747
  • I know some of you may have been accused of being
  • 00:13:07.814 --> 00:13:09.049
  • Been accused of being here when moses was,
  • 00:13:09.115 --> 00:13:10.617
  • Here when moses was, but you weren't.
  • 00:13:10.684 --> 00:13:13.653
  • But you weren't. those who were not
  • 00:13:13.720 --> 00:13:14.588
  • Those who were not born yet had not sinned,
  • 00:13:14.654 --> 00:13:16.289
  • Born yet had not sinned, but it says,
  • 00:13:16.356 --> 00:13:17.057
  • But it says, "we were counted
  • 00:13:17.123 --> 00:13:17.858
  • "we were counted as sinners because
  • 00:13:17.924 --> 00:13:19.459
  • As sinners because of the likeness
  • 00:13:19.526 --> 00:13:20.393
  • Of the likeness of the transgression.
  • 00:13:20.460 --> 00:13:21.561
  • Of the transgression. say that with me.
  • 00:13:21.628 --> 00:13:22.329
  • Say that with me. those words right there
  • 00:13:22.395 --> 00:13:23.063
  • Those words right there in the middle.
  • 00:13:23.129 --> 00:13:23.663
  • In the middle. "the likeness of
  • 00:13:23.730 --> 00:13:25.398
  • "the likeness of the transgression of adam."
  • 00:13:25.465 --> 00:13:28.268
  • The transgression of adam." what does that mean?
  • 00:13:28.335 --> 00:13:30.070
  • What does that mean? on the day that
  • 00:13:30.136 --> 00:13:30.937
  • On the day that my children were born,
  • 00:13:31.004 --> 00:13:34.007
  • My children were born, it didn't matter which side
  • 00:13:34.074 --> 00:13:35.041
  • It didn't matter which side of the family you were on,
  • 00:13:35.108 --> 00:13:36.409
  • Of the family you were on, my side or my wife's side,
  • 00:13:36.476 --> 00:13:38.445
  • My side or my wife's side, there were people on
  • 00:13:38.511 --> 00:13:39.412
  • There were people on both sides claiming
  • 00:13:39.479 --> 00:13:40.547
  • Both sides claiming the likeness of the child.
  • 00:13:40.614 --> 00:13:43.650
  • The likeness of the child. and so, when this verse
  • 00:13:43.717 --> 00:13:44.484
  • And so, when this verse says it's the likeness
  • 00:13:44.551 --> 00:13:45.518
  • Says it's the likeness of a transgression,
  • 00:13:45.585 --> 00:13:46.586
  • Of a transgression, what happens is that
  • 00:13:46.653 --> 00:13:48.054
  • What happens is that whenever a birth takes
  • 00:13:48.121 --> 00:13:49.122
  • Whenever a birth takes place here on earth,
  • 00:13:49.189 --> 00:13:50.056
  • Place here on earth, heaven looks down and goes,
  • 00:13:50.123 --> 00:13:51.358
  • Heaven looks down and goes, "oh, you look just like
  • 00:13:51.424 --> 00:13:52.592
  • "oh, you look just like that old sinner, adam.
  • 00:13:52.659 --> 00:13:55.495
  • That old sinner, adam. you are just like him.
  • 00:13:55.562 --> 00:13:56.429
  • You are just like him. yes, you are.
  • 00:13:56.496 --> 00:13:57.130
  • Yes, you are. sin, sin, sin."
  • 00:13:57.197 --> 00:13:58.131
  • [laughter]
  • 00:13:58.498 --> 00:14:01.001
  • Because we've got his likeness.
  • 00:14:01.334 --> 00:14:04.070
  • Because we've got his likeness. we can't get away from it.
  • 00:14:04.137 --> 00:14:06.239
  • We can't get away from it. it's our developed
  • 00:14:06.306 --> 00:14:06.873
  • It's our developed natural approach.
  • 00:14:06.940 --> 00:14:11.144
  • Natural approach. and therefore, because of this,
  • 00:14:11.211 --> 00:14:12.846
  • And therefore, because of this, sin and death entered the world.
  • 00:14:12.913 --> 00:14:17.317
  • Sin and death entered the world. now, some people wanna hold
  • 00:14:17.384 --> 00:14:18.318
  • Now, some people wanna hold god in contempt for this.
  • 00:14:18.385 --> 00:14:21.154
  • God in contempt for this. in their immaturity,
  • 00:14:21.221 --> 00:14:22.088
  • In their immaturity, they wanna know,
  • 00:14:22.155 --> 00:14:22.722
  • They wanna know, "why was adam's
  • 00:14:22.789 --> 00:14:23.690
  • "why was adam's one act my fault?"
  • 00:14:23.757 --> 00:14:27.961
  • One act my fault?" i'm so glad you asked.
  • 00:14:28.028 --> 00:14:30.997
  • I'm so glad you asked. you need to see
  • 00:14:31.064 --> 00:14:31.498
  • You need to see three attributes of god
  • 00:14:31.564 --> 00:14:32.866
  • Three attributes of god that help us understand
  • 00:14:32.933 --> 00:14:34.434
  • That help us understand why adam's problem
  • 00:14:34.501 --> 00:14:36.102
  • Why adam's problem was our problem.
  • 00:14:36.169 --> 00:14:37.470
  • Was our problem. and the first attribute is this.
  • 00:14:37.537 --> 00:14:38.939
  • And the first attribute is this. god is consistent.
  • 00:14:39.005 --> 00:14:41.608
  • God is consistent. say that with me,
  • 00:14:41.675 --> 00:14:42.676
  • Say that with me, "god is consistent."
  • 00:14:42.742 --> 00:14:44.711
  • "god is consistent." now, consistency means
  • 00:14:44.778 --> 00:14:45.712
  • Now, consistency means that you do something
  • 00:14:45.779 --> 00:14:46.880
  • That you do something so regularly that you'd begin
  • 00:14:46.947 --> 00:14:49.182
  • So regularly that you'd begin to develop a habit.
  • 00:14:49.249 --> 00:14:50.417
  • To develop a habit. and that pattern that you
  • 00:14:50.483 --> 00:14:52.152
  • And that pattern that you develop gives people
  • 00:14:52.218 --> 00:14:53.653
  • Develop gives people the opportunity
  • 00:14:53.720 --> 00:14:54.387
  • The opportunity to build expectation.
  • 00:14:54.454 --> 00:14:56.122
  • To build expectation. and then, once they build
  • 00:14:56.189 --> 00:14:57.257
  • And then, once they build expectation and you
  • 00:14:57.324 --> 00:14:58.525
  • Expectation and you repeat the pattern,
  • 00:14:58.591 --> 00:14:59.793
  • Repeat the pattern, they start to put
  • 00:14:59.859 --> 00:15:00.760
  • They start to put their trust in you.
  • 00:15:00.827 --> 00:15:02.295
  • Their trust in you. why did solomon tell his son,
  • 00:15:02.362 --> 00:15:04.230
  • Why did solomon tell his son, "trust in the lord with
  • 00:15:04.297 --> 00:15:05.332
  • "trust in the lord with all your heart?"
  • 00:15:05.398 --> 00:15:06.666
  • All your heart?" because solomon had seen
  • 00:15:06.733 --> 00:15:07.968
  • Because solomon had seen such a consistency in god,
  • 00:15:08.034 --> 00:15:10.003
  • Such a consistency in god, he knew that if his son
  • 00:15:10.070 --> 00:15:11.638
  • He knew that if his son would trust in god,
  • 00:15:11.705 --> 00:15:12.839
  • Would trust in god, the pattern would
  • 00:15:12.906 --> 00:15:13.773
  • The pattern would never fail him.
  • 00:15:13.840 --> 00:15:15.976
  • Never fail him. god is a consistent god.
  • 00:15:16.042 --> 00:15:18.044
  • God is a consistent god. you can expect god
  • 00:15:18.111 --> 00:15:19.012
  • You can expect god to be consistent
  • 00:15:19.079 --> 00:15:20.513
  • To be consistent in everything that he does.
  • 00:15:20.580 --> 00:15:23.416
  • In everything that he does. now, some of you might not
  • 00:15:23.483 --> 00:15:24.217
  • Now, some of you might not understand what i'm saying.
  • 00:15:24.284 --> 00:15:25.251
  • Understand what i'm saying. let me help you see it this way.
  • 00:15:25.318 --> 00:15:27.587
  • Let me help you see it this way. i have a consistent pattern when
  • 00:15:27.654 --> 00:15:30.557
  • I have a consistent pattern when it comes to breakfast tacos.
  • 00:15:30.623 --> 00:15:32.559
  • [laughter]
  • 00:15:33.093 --> 00:15:34.094
  • And my pattern is so consistent
  • 00:15:35.295 --> 00:15:36.730
  • And my pattern is so consistent that it might cause you
  • 00:15:36.796 --> 00:15:37.697
  • That it might cause you to actually question something.
  • 00:15:37.764 --> 00:15:40.367
  • To actually question something. for example, here's the pattern.
  • 00:15:40.433 --> 00:15:43.803
  • For example, here's the pattern. you show me the breakfast taco,
  • 00:15:43.870 --> 00:15:46.706
  • You show me the breakfast taco, you give me the breakfast taco,
  • 00:15:46.773 --> 00:15:49.709
  • You give me the breakfast taco, and i will eat
  • 00:15:49.776 --> 00:15:50.777
  • And i will eat the breakfast taco.
  • 00:15:50.844 --> 00:15:53.013
  • The breakfast taco. that's the very simple pattern.
  • 00:15:53.079 --> 00:15:55.115
  • That's the very simple pattern. show it, give it, eat it.
  • 00:15:55.181 --> 00:15:58.852
  • Show it, give it, eat it. now, here's what you
  • 00:15:58.918 --> 00:15:59.686
  • Now, here's what you might question.
  • 00:15:59.753 --> 00:16:02.689
  • Might question. why do they call it
  • 00:16:02.756 --> 00:16:03.289
  • Why do they call it a breakfast taco?
  • 00:16:03.356 --> 00:16:05.792
  • A breakfast taco? because if you gave it to me
  • 00:16:05.859 --> 00:16:06.726
  • Because if you gave it to me at 11 o'clock at night,
  • 00:16:06.793 --> 00:16:10.096
  • At 11 o'clock at night, you could show it to me at 11,
  • 00:16:10.163 --> 00:16:12.599
  • You could show it to me at 11, i'd see it at 11,
  • 00:16:12.665 --> 00:16:14.267
  • I'd see it at 11, it would be gone by 11:01.
  • 00:16:14.334 --> 00:16:16.469
  • [laughter]
  • 00:16:16.836 --> 00:16:19.005
  • And you would say, "well,
  • 00:16:19.539 --> 00:16:20.306
  • And you would say, "well, they call it a breakfast taco,
  • 00:16:20.373 --> 00:16:21.641
  • They call it a breakfast taco, but it's almost the middle
  • 00:16:21.708 --> 00:16:22.675
  • But it's almost the middle of the night
  • 00:16:22.742 --> 00:16:23.676
  • Of the night and he still ate it."
  • 00:16:23.743 --> 00:16:24.310
  • And he still ate it." i've got the consistent pattern.
  • 00:16:24.377 --> 00:16:26.846
  • I've got the consistent pattern. they didn't ask me what
  • 00:16:26.913 --> 00:16:27.547
  • They didn't ask me what they were gonna call it.
  • 00:16:27.614 --> 00:16:28.681
  • They were gonna call it. i look at it and it's...
  • 00:16:28.748 --> 00:16:29.749
  • [speaking spanish]
  • 00:16:30.250 --> 00:16:31.885
  • I mean, what am i
  • 00:16:32.152 --> 00:16:32.685
  • I mean, what am i supposed to do?
  • 00:16:32.752 --> 00:16:36.156
  • Supposed to do? i can't look at
  • 00:16:36.222 --> 00:16:36.790
  • I can't look at a breakfast taco in
  • 00:16:36.856 --> 00:16:37.791
  • A breakfast taco in the middle of the night and go,
  • 00:16:37.857 --> 00:16:38.925
  • The middle of the night and go, "oh no, it is not breakfast.
  • 00:16:38.992 --> 00:16:43.430
  • "oh no, it is not breakfast. breakfast is not until
  • 00:16:43.496 --> 00:16:45.298
  • Breakfast is not until the sunrise and can only
  • 00:16:45.365 --> 00:16:46.766
  • The sunrise and can only be served till 11
  • 00:16:46.833 --> 00:16:47.901
  • Be served till 11 at certain locations."
  • 00:16:47.967 --> 00:16:51.404
  • At certain locations." wrong.
  • 00:16:51.471 --> 00:16:53.473
  • Wrong. i have a pattern.
  • 00:16:53.540 --> 00:16:54.507
  • I have a pattern. i see it, you give it, i eat it.
  • 00:16:54.574 --> 00:16:59.646
  • I see it, you give it, i eat it. now, god is so consistent that
  • 00:16:59.712 --> 00:17:01.414
  • Now, god is so consistent that whenever you see his pattern,
  • 00:17:01.481 --> 00:17:03.216
  • Whenever you see his pattern, what we try to do is come up
  • 00:17:03.283 --> 00:17:04.451
  • What we try to do is come up with the one exception
  • 00:17:04.517 --> 00:17:05.418
  • With the one exception to the pattern.
  • 00:17:05.485 --> 00:17:06.286
  • To the pattern. and guess what?
  • 00:17:06.352 --> 00:17:06.986
  • And guess what? there isn't one.
  • 00:17:07.053 --> 00:17:09.522
  • There isn't one. when he sees sin,
  • 00:17:09.589 --> 00:17:10.557
  • When he sees sin, he treats sin the same.
  • 00:17:10.623 --> 00:17:12.392
  • He treats sin the same. when he sees obedience,
  • 00:17:12.459 --> 00:17:13.860
  • When he sees obedience, he treats obedience the same.
  • 00:17:13.927 --> 00:17:15.795
  • He treats obedience the same. when he sees need,
  • 00:17:15.862 --> 00:17:17.263
  • When he sees need, he treats need the same.
  • 00:17:17.330 --> 00:17:18.865
  • He treats need the same. when he sees sickness,

  • When he sees sickness, he treats sickness the same.
  • 00:17:20.266 --> 00:17:21.568
  • He treats sickness the same. when he sees powers
  • 00:17:21.634 --> 00:17:22.902
  • When he sees powers and principalities,
  • 00:17:22.969 --> 00:17:23.703
  • And principalities, he treats them the same.
  • 00:17:23.770 --> 00:17:25.238
  • He treats them the same. when he sees his children,
  • 00:17:25.305 --> 00:17:26.806
  • When he sees his children, he treats his children the same.
  • 00:17:26.873 --> 00:17:28.675
  • He treats his children the same. he is a consistent god.
  • 00:17:28.741 --> 00:17:31.177
  • [applause]
  • 00:17:31.544 --> 00:17:36.516
  • He's consistent
  • 00:17:38.284 --> 00:17:38.785
  • He's consistent in how he behaves.
  • 00:17:38.852 --> 00:17:39.552
  • In how he behaves. look at genesis 1:1.
  • 00:17:39.619 --> 00:17:41.588
  • Look at genesis 1:1. it says, "in the beginning,
  • 00:17:41.654 --> 00:17:42.422
  • It says, "in the beginning, god created the heavens
  • 00:17:42.489 --> 00:17:43.490
  • God created the heavens and the earth."
  • 00:17:43.556 --> 00:17:44.924
  • And the earth." how consistent is he?
  • 00:17:44.991 --> 00:17:47.193
  • How consistent is he? what is he doing
  • 00:17:47.260 --> 00:17:47.660
  • What is he doing in revelation 21:1?
  • 00:17:47.727 --> 00:17:50.430
  • In revelation 21:1? john the revelator says,
  • 00:17:50.497 --> 00:17:51.364
  • John the revelator says, "i, john saw a new
  • 00:17:51.431 --> 00:17:52.932
  • "i, john saw a new heaven and a new earth."
  • 00:17:52.999 --> 00:17:54.100
  • Heaven and a new earth." he was creating
  • 00:17:54.167 --> 00:17:54.968
  • He was creating back in genesis;
  • 00:17:55.034 --> 00:17:56.002
  • Back in genesis; he's creating in revelation.
  • 00:17:56.069 --> 00:17:58.271
  • He's creating in revelation. the first heaven and earth
  • 00:17:58.338 --> 00:17:59.272
  • The first heaven and earth had passed away.
  • 00:17:59.339 --> 00:18:00.006
  • Had passed away. it's not like god said,
  • 00:18:00.073 --> 00:18:01.307
  • It's not like god said, "oh no, i'm not gonna
  • 00:18:01.374 --> 00:18:02.375
  • "oh no, i'm not gonna give them any more heavens
  • 00:18:02.442 --> 00:18:03.476

  • I already made them one. they ruined that one.
  • 00:18:05.378 --> 00:18:06.513
  • They ruined that one. i'm not making another one."
  • 00:18:06.579 --> 00:18:08.982
  • I'm not making another one." no, he's consistent.
  • 00:18:09.048 --> 00:18:10.316
  • No, he's consistent. he made one in genesis,
  • 00:18:10.383 --> 00:18:11.351
  • He made one in genesis, he's bringing one back
  • 00:18:11.417 --> 00:18:12.952
  • He's bringing one back in revelation.
  • 00:18:13.019 --> 00:18:14.154
  • In revelation. and it says,
  • 00:18:14.220 --> 00:18:14.687
  • And it says, "the old had passed away

  • Coming down out of heaven prepared like a bride
  • 00:18:18.892 --> 00:18:20.426
  • Prepared like a bride for her husband."
  • 00:18:20.493 --> 00:18:21.161
  • For her husband." the promise that he has
  • 00:18:21.227 --> 00:18:22.395
  • The promise that he has in the new one is it's gonna
  • 00:18:22.462 --> 00:18:23.796
  • In the new one is it's gonna be better than the old one.

  • [applause]
  • 00:18:26.332 --> 00:18:31.571
  • Now, why is he creating it?
  • 00:18:32.071 --> 00:18:32.939
  • Now, why is he creating it? he's creating a perfect dwelling
  • 00:18:33.006 --> 00:18:36.242
  • He's creating a perfect dwelling because he's a consistent god.
  • 00:18:36.309 --> 00:18:38.444
  • Because he's a consistent god. god never creates something
  • 00:18:38.511 --> 00:18:40.680
  • God never creates something and then tries to figure out
  • 00:18:40.747 --> 00:18:41.781
  • And then tries to figure out what to do with it.
  • 00:18:41.848 --> 00:18:45.518
  • What to do with it. listen, this is important.
  • 00:18:45.585 --> 00:18:47.720
  • Listen, this is important. it's simple stuff,
  • 00:18:47.787 --> 00:18:48.955
  • It's simple stuff, but when you see it,
  • 00:18:49.022 --> 00:18:49.589
  • But when you see it, you go, "wow, there it is."
  • 00:18:49.656 --> 00:18:51.691
  • You go, "wow, there it is." right?
  • 00:18:51.758 --> 00:18:53.526
  • Right? in the beginning,
  • 00:18:53.593 --> 00:18:54.127
  • In the beginning, god created what?
  • 00:18:54.194 --> 00:18:56.863
  • God created what? go ahead and say it
  • 00:18:56.930 --> 00:18:57.463
  • Go ahead and say it like you've read it,

  • Congregation: heavens and the earth.
  • 00:19:13.680 --> 00:19:14.547

  • Congregation: heavens and the earth.

  • And the earth. pastor matt: you get it?
  • 00:19:19.786 --> 00:19:21.154
  • Pastor matt: you get it? it's not like he created
  • 00:19:21.221 --> 00:19:21.955
  • It's not like he created stars and went,
  • 00:19:22.021 --> 00:19:22.655
  • Stars and went, "i wonder what i'm gonna
  • 00:19:22.722 --> 00:19:23.289
  • "i wonder what i'm gonna do with those."
  • 00:19:23.356 --> 00:19:26.059

  • And the earth, and then he filled it
  • 00:19:27.694 --> 00:19:28.428
  • And then he filled it with the stars
