00:00:15.099 --> 00:00:15.866
Pastor matt hagee: if you brought your bibles,
00:00:15.933 --> 00:00:16.734
Brought your bibles, turn them to the book of
00:00:16.801 --> 00:00:17.535
Turn them to the book of amos 3,
00:00:17.601 --> 00:00:20.738
Amos 3, as this morning we begin
00:00:20.805 --> 00:00:21.672
As this morning we begin a brand-new sermon series
00:00:21.739 --> 00:00:23.174
A brand-new sermon series entitled "the great divide."
00:00:23.240 --> 00:00:25.576
Entitled "the great divide." i don't think anyone would
00:00:25.643 --> 00:00:27.011
I don't think anyone would debate or argue the fact that
00:00:27.078 --> 00:00:28.712
Debate or argue the fact that our nation is probably more
00:00:28.779 --> 00:00:30.381
Our nation is probably more divided now than we have ever
00:00:30.448 --> 00:00:32.149
Divided now than we have ever been.
00:00:32.216 --> 00:00:33.050
Been. [amen.]
00:00:33.117 --> 00:00:33.584
[amen.] and the lines are getting
00:00:33.651 --> 00:00:34.652
And the lines are getting farther and farther apart.
00:00:34.718 --> 00:00:36.854
Farther and farther apart. today we're going to consider
00:00:36.921 --> 00:00:38.456
Today we're going to consider the great divide in
00:00:38.522 --> 00:00:39.423
The great divide in this context,
00:00:39.490 --> 00:00:40.691
This context, "watch your step."
00:00:40.758 --> 00:00:42.960
"watch your step." we look at the word
00:00:43.027 --> 00:00:44.128
We look at the word of the lord that he gave to
00:00:44.195 --> 00:00:45.429
Of the lord that he gave to the prophet amos to a nation
00:00:45.496 --> 00:00:48.766
The prophet amos to a nation that was divided.
00:00:48.833 --> 00:00:51.202
That was divided. and while they were talking
00:00:51.268 --> 00:00:52.169
And while they were talking about all of the things that
00:00:52.236 --> 00:00:53.270
About all of the things that divided them individually,
00:00:53.337 --> 00:00:55.106
Divided them individually, god was saying all of
00:00:55.172 --> 00:00:56.740
God was saying all of the separate divisions
00:00:56.807 --> 00:00:57.908
The separate divisions that are down there
00:00:57.975 --> 00:00:58.943
That are down there in your nation are nothing
00:00:59.009 --> 00:01:00.544
In your nation are nothing more than symptoms of
00:01:00.611 --> 00:01:02.113
More than symptoms of the reality that you are
00:01:02.179 --> 00:01:03.481
The reality that you are divided from me.
00:01:03.547 --> 00:01:06.884
Divided from me. and when we see this much
00:01:06.951 --> 00:01:07.751
And when we see this much chaos and confusion taking
00:01:07.818 --> 00:01:09.220
Chaos and confusion taking place in the world around us,
00:01:09.286 --> 00:01:10.788
Place in the world around us, what we have to realize
00:01:10.855 --> 00:01:11.856
What we have to realize is that god is not the author
00:01:11.922 --> 00:01:13.691
Is that god is not the author of confusion.
00:01:13.757 --> 00:01:15.192
Of confusion. [amen.]
00:01:15.259 --> 00:01:16.427
[amen.] and everything he does,
00:01:16.494 --> 00:01:17.294
And everything he does, he does with order.
00:01:17.361 --> 00:01:18.829
He does with order. [that's right.]
00:01:18.896 --> 00:01:19.630
[that's right.] and that what we see happening
00:01:19.697 --> 00:01:20.698
And that what we see happening in the world around us is
00:01:20.764 --> 00:01:22.233
In the world around us is nothing more than just
00:01:22.299 --> 00:01:23.167
Nothing more than just the symptoms of the reality
00:01:23.234 --> 00:01:25.035
The symptoms of the reality that for a long time now,
00:01:25.102 --> 00:01:26.537
That for a long time now, we have been separated
00:01:26.604 --> 00:01:28.005
We have been separated from god.
00:01:28.072 --> 00:01:28.939
From god. [amen.]
00:01:29.006 --> 00:01:30.407
[amen.] so we pick up
00:01:30.474 --> 00:01:31.041
So we pick up this conversation in amos 3:3.
00:01:31.108 --> 00:01:35.279
This conversation in amos 3:3. read it with me.
00:01:35.346 --> 00:01:36.580
Read it with me. "can two walk together,
00:01:36.647 --> 00:01:39.016
"can two walk together, unless they are agreed?"
00:01:39.083 --> 00:01:42.219
Unless they are agreed?" heavenly father,
00:01:42.286 --> 00:01:44.688
Heavenly father, by the power of
00:01:44.755 --> 00:01:45.256
By the power of your holy spirit
00:01:45.322 --> 00:01:46.190
Your holy spirit and his anointing,
00:01:46.257 --> 00:01:47.892
And his anointing, whose presence we feel
00:01:47.958 --> 00:01:49.360
Whose presence we feel in this place,
00:01:49.426 --> 00:01:51.495
In this place, we ask that you would open
00:01:51.562 --> 00:01:52.530
We ask that you would open our ears and our hearts
00:01:52.596 --> 00:01:53.664
Our ears and our hearts to receive these truths today;
00:01:53.731 --> 00:01:56.767
To receive these truths today; that we would hear
00:01:56.834 --> 00:01:57.501
That we would hear and heed your word,
00:01:57.568 --> 00:02:00.237
And heed your word, and walk with you
00:02:00.304 --> 00:02:01.672
And walk with you in faith believing.
00:02:01.739 --> 00:02:03.507
In faith believing. in jesus' name, we pray.
00:02:03.574 --> 00:02:05.342
In jesus' name, we pray. amen.
00:02:05.409 --> 00:02:06.243
Amen. [amen.]
00:02:06.310 --> 00:02:06.844
[amen.] you may be seated.
00:02:06.911 --> 00:02:10.047
You may be seated. "can two walk together,
00:02:10.114 --> 00:02:12.183
"can two walk together, unless they be agreed?"
00:02:12.249 --> 00:02:14.318
Unless they be agreed?" it's a rhetorical question,
00:02:14.385 --> 00:02:15.753
It's a rhetorical question, because the answer is,
00:02:15.819 --> 00:02:16.520
Because the answer is, obviously, no.
00:02:16.587 --> 00:02:19.123
Obviously, no. but the lord sent amos to
00:02:19.190 --> 00:02:21.158
But the lord sent amos to israel with this message,
00:02:21.225 --> 00:02:23.961
Israel with this message, because he was wanting to warn
00:02:24.028 --> 00:02:25.696
Because he was wanting to warn the nation by letting them
00:02:25.763 --> 00:02:27.431
The nation by letting them know that the direction they
00:02:27.498 --> 00:02:28.766
Know that the direction they were headed was a path that
00:02:28.832 --> 00:02:30.367
Were headed was a path that was going to lead to
00:02:30.434 --> 00:02:31.802
Was going to lead to destruction.
00:02:31.869 --> 00:02:34.138
Destruction. in the world that we live in
00:02:34.205 --> 00:02:35.039
In the world that we live in today,
00:02:35.105 --> 00:02:35.773
Today, everywhere you look,
00:02:35.839 --> 00:02:36.941
Everywhere you look, you see a nation that is on
00:02:37.007 --> 00:02:39.210
You see a nation that is on a path to destruction.
00:02:39.276 --> 00:02:41.845
A path to destruction. [amen.]
00:02:41.912 --> 00:02:42.813
[amen.] right now, like never before,
00:02:42.880 --> 00:02:44.415
Right now, like never before, we are a culture that is being
00:02:44.481 --> 00:02:46.150
We are a culture that is being swarmed with a spirit
00:02:46.217 --> 00:02:47.985
Swarmed with a spirit of rebellion.
00:02:48.052 --> 00:02:50.221
Of rebellion. this rebellion is not some
00:02:50.287 --> 00:02:51.388
This rebellion is not some small matter of defiance
00:02:51.455 --> 00:02:53.190
Small matter of defiance that people are quietly
00:02:53.257 --> 00:02:54.358
That people are quietly holding within them.
00:02:54.425 --> 00:02:55.426
Holding within them. this rebellion is being lived
00:02:55.492 --> 00:02:57.094
This rebellion is being lived out in the lawlessness that's
00:02:57.161 --> 00:02:58.529
Out in the lawlessness that's taking place in our streets.
00:02:58.596 --> 00:03:01.098
Taking place in our streets. this rebellion has invaded
00:03:01.165 --> 00:03:02.700
This rebellion has invaded our schools.
00:03:02.766 --> 00:03:03.434
Our schools. this rebellion has overwhelmed
00:03:03.500 --> 00:03:05.135
This rebellion has overwhelmed our cities.
00:03:05.202 --> 00:03:05.836
Our cities. this rebellion is crippling
00:03:05.903 --> 00:03:07.671
This rebellion is crippling the lives of our
00:03:07.738 --> 00:03:08.939
The lives of our american citizens and people
00:03:09.006 --> 00:03:10.541
American citizens and people all over the world.
00:03:10.608 --> 00:03:12.643
All over the world. when it's being discussed,
00:03:12.710 --> 00:03:14.011
When it's being discussed, people offer all kinds of
00:03:14.078 --> 00:03:16.013
People offer all kinds of ideas about what could change
00:03:16.080 --> 00:03:17.715
Ideas about what could change the situation that we face.
00:03:17.781 --> 00:03:19.183
The situation that we face. some say,
00:03:19.250 --> 00:03:19.650
Some say, "you know all we need to do
00:03:19.717 --> 00:03:20.951
"you know all we need to do is adjust the laws,
00:03:21.018 --> 00:03:22.353
Is adjust the laws, because the reason people are
00:03:22.419 --> 00:03:23.454
Because the reason people are breaking so many laws
00:03:23.520 --> 00:03:24.555
Breaking so many laws is because we're too tough on
00:03:24.622 --> 00:03:25.723
Is because we're too tough on crime."
00:03:25.789 --> 00:03:26.890
Crime." [no.]
00:03:26.957 --> 00:03:27.725
[no.] [no.]
00:03:27.791 --> 00:03:28.659
[no.] then a few experts will tell
00:03:28.726 --> 00:03:34.231
Then a few experts will tell you that what we need to do
00:03:34.298 --> 00:03:36.033
You that what we need to do is start a new program.
00:03:36.100 --> 00:03:38.569
Is start a new program. let me translate something
00:03:38.636 --> 00:03:39.536
Let me translate something for you.
00:03:39.603 --> 00:03:40.037
For you. any time that an elected
00:03:40.104 --> 00:03:41.238
Any time that an elected official is talking about
00:03:41.305 --> 00:03:42.239
Official is talking about a program,
00:03:42.306 --> 00:03:43.907
A program, what he's saying is he's going
00:03:43.974 --> 00:03:45.109
What he's saying is he's going to take money from people
00:03:45.175 --> 00:03:46.377
To take money from people who earned it --
00:03:46.443 --> 00:03:47.378
Who earned it -- [that's right.]
00:03:47.444 --> 00:03:48.078
[that's right.] -- and give it to people
00:03:48.145 --> 00:03:48.846
-- and give it to people who didn't earn it,
00:03:48.912 --> 00:03:50.581
Who didn't earn it, so that they will stop taking
00:03:50.648 --> 00:03:51.782
So that they will stop taking what's already not theirs.
00:03:51.849 --> 00:03:54.018
What's already not theirs. (laughter)
00:03:54.084 --> 00:03:56.053
(laughter) hmmm.
00:03:56.120 --> 00:03:56.820
Hmmm. (applause)
00:03:56.887 --> 00:03:59.757
(applause) there's a problem in our world
00:03:59.823 --> 00:04:01.525
There's a problem in our world right now.
00:04:01.592 --> 00:04:02.760
Right now. regardless of how you define
00:04:02.826 --> 00:04:04.161
Regardless of how you define the problem,
00:04:04.228 --> 00:04:04.828
The problem, regardless of how you try to
00:04:04.895 --> 00:04:05.963
Regardless of how you try to solve the problem,
00:04:06.030 --> 00:04:07.097
Solve the problem, regardless of who you try
00:04:07.164 --> 00:04:08.432
Regardless of who you try and blame for the problem,
00:04:08.499 --> 00:04:10.000
And blame for the problem, the fact remains we've got
00:04:10.067 --> 00:04:11.502
The fact remains we've got a problem.
00:04:11.568 --> 00:04:12.503
A problem. [that's right.]
00:04:12.569 --> 00:04:13.003
[that's right.] [amen.]
00:04:13.070 --> 00:04:13.604
[amen.] we've got a problem when
00:04:13.671 --> 00:04:14.204
We've got a problem when our prisons have more law
00:04:14.271 --> 00:04:15.539
Our prisons have more law and order than our streets.
00:04:15.606 --> 00:04:17.041
And order than our streets. [yes.]
00:04:17.107 --> 00:04:17.641
[yes.] we've got a problem when
00:04:17.708 --> 00:04:18.742
We've got a problem when an elementary school won't say
00:04:18.809 --> 00:04:20.444
An elementary school won't say the pledge because it has
00:04:20.511 --> 00:04:22.012
The pledge because it has the phrase
00:04:22.079 --> 00:04:22.579
The phrase "one nation under god,"
00:04:22.646 --> 00:04:23.881
"one nation under god," but it'll hold a seminar
00:04:23.947 --> 00:04:25.549
But it'll hold a seminar on transgenderism and have men
00:04:25.616 --> 00:04:27.751
On transgenderism and have men dressed in drag dancing
00:04:27.818 --> 00:04:29.219
Dressed in drag dancing in front of children.
00:04:29.286 --> 00:04:30.087
In front of children. that's a problem.
00:04:30.154 --> 00:04:31.555
That's a problem. [yes.]
00:04:31.622 --> 00:04:32.189
[yes.] (applause)
00:04:32.256 --> 00:04:38.662
(applause) let me make it very clear;
00:04:38.729 --> 00:04:39.797
Let me make it very clear; that's not education.
00:04:39.863 --> 00:04:41.632
That's not education. that's not reading, writing,
00:04:41.699 --> 00:04:42.966
That's not reading, writing, and arithmetic;
00:04:43.033 --> 00:04:43.767
And arithmetic; that's indoctrination and it
00:04:43.834 --> 00:04:45.502
That's indoctrination and it should be considered
00:04:45.569 --> 00:04:46.637
Should be considered child abuse.
00:04:46.704 --> 00:04:47.671
Child abuse. [yes.]
00:04:47.738 --> 00:04:48.339
[yes.] (applause)
00:04:48.405 --> 00:04:49.106
(applause) [yes.]
00:04:49.173 --> 00:04:49.973
[yes.] (applause)
00:04:50.040 --> 00:04:59.850
(applause) there's a problem when
00:04:59.917 --> 00:05:00.751
There's a problem when churches stop declaring
00:05:00.818 --> 00:05:02.553
Churches stop declaring the word of god.
00:05:02.619 --> 00:05:03.787
The word of god. [amen.]
00:05:03.854 --> 00:05:04.621
[amen.] if you're not declaring
00:05:04.688 --> 00:05:05.422
If you're not declaring the word of god,
00:05:05.489 --> 00:05:06.123
The word of god, you're not a church;
00:05:06.190 --> 00:05:07.024
You're not a church; you're a sunday social club.
00:05:07.091 --> 00:05:08.892
You're a sunday social club. [amen.]
00:05:08.959 --> 00:05:09.526
[amen.] if you would rather entertain
00:05:09.593 --> 00:05:10.861
If you would rather entertain than evangelize,
00:05:10.928 --> 00:05:12.229
Than evangelize, you need to do something else.
00:05:12.296 --> 00:05:14.298
You need to do something else. the purpose of the church
00:05:14.365 --> 00:05:15.332
The purpose of the church is to train the army of
00:05:15.399 --> 00:05:16.967
Is to train the army of the living god to go out into
00:05:17.034 --> 00:05:18.402
The living god to go out into a lost, and dark,
00:05:18.469 --> 00:05:19.903
A lost, and dark, and dying world,
00:05:19.970 --> 00:05:20.804
And dying world, and shine his light,
00:05:20.871 --> 00:05:22.106
And shine his light, and shine his love,
00:05:22.172 --> 00:05:23.540
And shine his love, and believe that they can do
00:05:23.607 --> 00:05:25.275
And believe that they can do all things through christ
00:05:25.342 --> 00:05:26.777
All things through christ who gives them strength.
00:05:26.844 --> 00:05:28.512
Who gives them strength. [glory!]
00:05:28.579 --> 00:05:29.279
[glory!] (applause)
00:05:29.346 --> 00:05:31.281
(applause) there's a problem when suicide
00:05:31.348 --> 00:05:33.884
There's a problem when suicide is the second leading cause
00:05:33.951 --> 00:05:35.052
Is the second leading cause of death in children
00:05:35.119 --> 00:05:36.653
Of death in children the ages 10 to 15.
00:05:36.720 --> 00:05:39.056
The ages 10 to 15. there's a problem when our
00:05:39.123 --> 00:05:40.758
There's a problem when our national leaders think that
00:05:40.824 --> 00:05:42.393
National leaders think that your gas-guzzling car is
00:05:42.459 --> 00:05:44.361
Your gas-guzzling car is the biggest problem that they
00:05:44.428 --> 00:05:45.462
The biggest problem that they have to solve more than
00:05:45.529 --> 00:05:46.830
Have to solve more than the fentanyl that's coming
00:05:46.897 --> 00:05:47.998
The fentanyl that's coming across our border.
00:05:48.065 --> 00:05:49.266
Across our border. [yes!]
00:05:49.333 --> 00:05:49.967
[yes!] [amen.]
00:05:50.033 --> 00:05:50.667
[amen.] (applause)
00:05:50.734 --> 00:05:57.007
(applause) and even greater still is
00:05:57.074 --> 00:05:58.375
And even greater still is the fact that with all of
00:05:58.442 --> 00:05:59.676
The fact that with all of the problems that we could
00:05:59.743 --> 00:06:00.677
The problems that we could list and discuss today,
00:06:00.744 --> 00:06:03.814
List and discuss today, all of them just lead to
00:06:03.881 --> 00:06:04.915
All of them just lead to more talk and discussion,
00:06:04.982 --> 00:06:06.250
More talk and discussion, and debate,
00:06:06.316 --> 00:06:06.817
And debate, and argument,
00:06:06.884 --> 00:06:07.684
And argument, and make this great divide
00:06:07.751 --> 00:06:09.686
And make this great divide between where we are and where
00:06:09.753 --> 00:06:13.490
Between where we are and where we should be farther apart.
00:06:13.557 --> 00:06:18.729
We should be farther apart. they don't solve the problem.
00:06:18.796 --> 00:06:20.264
They don't solve the problem. and the reason they don't
00:06:20.330 --> 00:06:20.964
And the reason they don't solve the problem is because
00:06:21.031 --> 00:06:22.433
Solve the problem is because it's whacking at the branches
00:06:22.499 --> 00:06:23.700
It's whacking at the branches and not striking at the root.
00:06:23.767 --> 00:06:26.904
And not striking at the root. all of these problems are
00:06:26.970 --> 00:06:27.905
All of these problems are just symptoms.
00:06:27.971 --> 00:06:29.039
Just symptoms. the real problem is sin.
00:06:29.106 --> 00:06:31.508
The real problem is sin. [amen.]
00:06:31.575 --> 00:06:32.242
[amen.] [yes.]
00:06:32.309 --> 00:06:32.976
[yes.] (applause)
00:06:33.043 --> 00:06:37.648
(applause) proverbs tells us,
00:06:37.714 --> 00:06:38.482
Proverbs tells us, "righteousness exalts
00:06:38.549 --> 00:06:39.883
"righteousness exalts a nation:
00:06:39.950 --> 00:06:40.617
A nation: but sin is a reproach
00:06:40.684 --> 00:06:43.120
But sin is a reproach to any people."
00:06:43.187 --> 00:06:44.087
To any people." why are we struggling
00:06:44.154 --> 00:06:45.022
Why are we struggling in this world today?
00:06:45.088 --> 00:06:46.223
In this world today? not because we don't have
00:06:46.290 --> 00:06:47.224
Not because we don't have enough resources,
00:06:47.291 --> 00:06:48.125
Enough resources, not because we don't have
00:06:48.192 --> 00:06:48.992
Not because we don't have enough knowledge,
00:06:49.059 --> 00:06:49.827
Enough knowledge, not because we haven't done
00:06:49.893 --> 00:06:50.994
Not because we haven't done enough studies.
00:06:51.061 --> 00:06:51.829
Enough studies. it's because we won't stop
00:06:51.895 --> 00:06:53.897
It's because we won't stop sinning.
00:06:53.964 --> 00:06:55.165
Sinning. [amen.]
00:06:55.232 --> 00:06:55.933
[amen.] what we've got to do if we're
00:06:55.999 --> 00:06:57.401
What we've got to do if we're going to exalt this nation is,
00:06:57.468 --> 00:06:59.403
Going to exalt this nation is, we've got to return to
00:06:59.470 --> 00:07:01.205
We've got to return to righteousness.
00:07:01.271 --> 00:07:02.072
Righteousness. we've got to stop talking
00:07:02.139 --> 00:07:03.640
We've got to stop talking about the symptom and got to
00:07:03.707 --> 00:07:05.476
About the symptom and got to get down to the source.
00:07:05.542 --> 00:07:06.777
Get down to the source. and the only hope that we have
00:07:06.844 --> 00:07:08.912
And the only hope that we have is to return to the god of
00:07:08.979 --> 00:07:10.647
Is to return to the god of abraham, isaac, and jacob.
00:07:10.714 --> 00:07:12.716
Abraham, isaac, and jacob. the only hope for your family
00:07:12.783 --> 00:07:14.485
The only hope for your family is to build your house upon
00:07:14.551 --> 00:07:16.086
Is to build your house upon the principles of his word.
00:07:16.153 --> 00:07:17.654
The principles of his word. the only hope for our economy
00:07:17.721 --> 00:07:19.556
The only hope for our economy is to turn to jehovah jireh,
00:07:19.623 --> 00:07:21.391
Is to turn to jehovah jireh, because he's described
00:07:21.458 --> 00:07:22.426
Because he's described as our provider.
00:07:22.493 --> 00:07:23.427
As our provider. the only way to clear
00:07:23.494 --> 00:07:24.695
The only way to clear the clouds of chaos
00:07:24.761 --> 00:07:25.863
The clouds of chaos and confusion,
00:07:25.929 --> 00:07:26.997
And confusion, and overcome the anarchy
00:07:27.064 --> 00:07:28.365
And overcome the anarchy that's in our street,
00:07:28.432 --> 00:07:29.533
That's in our street, and rebuild the faith
00:07:29.600 --> 00:07:31.068
And rebuild the faith and the freedom
00:07:31.134 --> 00:07:31.668
And the freedom and the liberty that made us
00:07:31.735 --> 00:07:33.103
And the liberty that made us one nation under god,
00:07:33.170 --> 00:07:34.505
One nation under god, is to return to living by
00:07:34.571 --> 00:07:36.540
Is to return to living by his ten commandments.
00:07:36.607 --> 00:07:37.774
His ten commandments. return to the word that does
00:07:37.841 --> 00:07:39.510
Return to the word that does not return void.
00:07:39.576 --> 00:07:40.777
Not return void. return to his promises
00:07:40.844 --> 00:07:42.246
Return to his promises that endure forever,
00:07:42.312 --> 00:07:43.380
That endure forever, because the grass may wither
00:07:43.447 --> 00:07:45.115
Because the grass may wither and the flower may fade,
00:07:45.182 --> 00:07:46.750
And the flower may fade, but his promise to protect,
00:07:46.817 --> 00:07:48.418
But his promise to protect, his promise to provide,
00:07:48.485 --> 00:07:49.953
His promise to provide, his promise to heal,
00:07:50.020 --> 00:07:51.421
His promise to heal, his promise to deliver,
00:07:51.488 --> 00:07:52.789
His promise to deliver, his promise to redeem,
00:07:52.856 --> 00:07:54.324
His promise to redeem, his promise to restore,
00:07:54.391 --> 00:07:55.993
His promise to restore, his promise,
00:07:56.059 --> 00:07:56.927
His promise, it will never fail,
00:07:56.994 --> 00:07:58.629
It will never fail, because that's the kind of god
00:07:58.695 --> 00:08:00.297
Because that's the kind of god we serve!
00:08:00.364 --> 00:08:01.598
We serve! [amen!]
00:08:01.665 --> 00:08:02.332
[amen!] (applause)
00:08:02.399 --> 00:08:08.138
(applause) and so right now,
00:08:08.205 --> 00:08:08.972
And so right now, with all of the problems
00:08:09.039 --> 00:08:09.840
With all of the problems that we face,
00:08:09.907 --> 00:08:10.674
That we face, we have to realize that
00:08:10.741 --> 00:08:11.775
We have to realize that our nation is at a crossroads.
00:08:11.842 --> 00:08:14.811
Our nation is at a crossroads. [amen.]
00:08:14.878 --> 00:08:15.846
[amen.] and like never before
00:08:15.913 --> 00:08:16.713
And like never before in our lifetime,
00:08:16.780 --> 00:08:17.514
In our lifetime, we've got a decision to make.
00:08:17.581 --> 00:08:20.183
We've got a decision to make. are we going to walk with god?
00:08:20.250 --> 00:08:23.320
Are we going to walk with god? are we going to keep walking
00:08:23.387 --> 00:08:24.254
Are we going to keep walking away from god?
00:08:24.321 --> 00:08:25.889
Away from god? [walk with god.]
00:08:25.956 --> 00:08:27.457
[walk with god.] and this is the question that
00:08:27.524 --> 00:08:28.458
And this is the question that god sent amos to ask israel
00:08:28.525 --> 00:08:32.629
God sent amos to ask israel in verse 3 of chapter 3,
00:08:32.696 --> 00:08:34.598
In verse 3 of chapter 3, "can two walk together,
00:08:34.665 --> 00:08:37.868
"can two walk together, unless they be agreed?"
00:08:37.935 --> 00:08:41.271
Unless they be agreed?" understand that there's only
00:08:41.338 --> 00:08:44.174
Understand that there's only two ways to walk
00:08:44.241 --> 00:08:44.942
Two ways to walk in this world.
00:08:45.008 --> 00:08:47.311
In this world. you can either walk with him
00:08:47.377 --> 00:08:49.813
You can either walk with him or you can walk away from him.
00:08:49.880 --> 00:08:52.282
Or you can walk away from him. but there's no middle ground.
00:08:52.349 --> 00:08:55.552
But there's no middle ground. in order to know what kind of
00:08:55.619 --> 00:08:57.187
In order to know what kind of direction your life
00:08:57.254 --> 00:08:57.888
Direction your life is headed in,
00:08:57.955 --> 00:08:58.789
Is headed in, what you need to ask yourself
00:08:58.855 --> 00:08:59.723
What you need to ask yourself is,
00:08:59.790 --> 00:09:00.390
Is, "who are you walking with?"
00:09:00.457 --> 00:09:01.558
"who are you walking with?" one of the problems that we
00:09:01.625 --> 00:09:02.459
One of the problems that we have in the church today is
00:09:02.526 --> 00:09:04.861
Have in the church today is that we oftentimes say that
00:09:04.928 --> 00:09:06.997
That we oftentimes say that we're walking with god,
00:09:07.064 --> 00:09:08.298
We're walking with god, but we're more walking with
00:09:08.365 --> 00:09:10.534
But we're more walking with a political party than we are
00:09:10.601 --> 00:09:12.169
A political party than we are his promises.
00:09:12.235 --> 00:09:13.203
His promises. [that's right.]
00:09:13.270 --> 00:09:14.171
[that's right.] (applause)
00:09:14.237 --> 00:09:20.210
(applause) because that's the only way
00:09:20.277 --> 00:09:21.078
Because that's the only way you can get two christians
00:09:21.144 --> 00:09:22.646
You can get two christians in the same room,
00:09:22.713 --> 00:09:23.647
In the same room, who both profess that
00:09:23.714 --> 00:09:24.815
Who both profess that jesus christ is their savior.
00:09:24.881 --> 00:09:26.450
Jesus christ is their savior. and yet,
00:09:26.516 --> 00:09:26.850
And yet, they're on opposite ends
00:09:26.917 --> 00:09:27.784
They're on opposite ends of everything.
00:09:27.851 --> 00:09:28.585
Of everything. why?
00:09:28.652 --> 00:09:28.952
Why? because they identify more
00:09:29.019 --> 00:09:30.087
Because they identify more with an elephant and a donkey
00:09:30.153 --> 00:09:31.622
With an elephant and a donkey than they do jesus christ,
00:09:31.688 --> 00:09:32.756
Than they do jesus christ, who died to set them free.
00:09:32.823 --> 00:09:34.858
Who died to set them free. (applause)
00:09:34.925 --> 00:09:40.364
(applause) you need to understand,
00:09:40.430 --> 00:09:41.331
You need to understand, the king of kings and the lord
00:09:41.398 --> 00:09:42.366
The king of kings and the lord of lords does not like red
00:09:42.432 --> 00:09:43.834
Of lords does not like red any more than he likes blue.
00:09:43.900 --> 00:09:45.435
Any more than he likes blue. he's not up for election
00:09:45.502 --> 00:09:46.837
He's not up for election and he doesn't need your vote.
00:09:46.903 --> 00:09:48.138
And he doesn't need your vote. he sits upon the throne where
00:09:48.205 --> 00:09:49.906
He sits upon the throne where he rules in grace and truth.
00:09:49.973 --> 00:09:52.009
He rules in grace and truth. and of his kingdom,
00:09:52.075 --> 00:09:53.176
And of his kingdom, there shall be no end.
00:09:53.243 --> 00:09:55.512
There shall be no end. (applause)
00:09:55.579 --> 00:09:58.682
(applause) so who are you walking with?
00:09:58.749 --> 00:10:01.284
So who are you walking with? when i was growing up,
00:10:01.351 --> 00:10:02.519
When i was growing up, i used to often hear from
00:10:02.586 --> 00:10:03.654
I used to often hear from my parents,
00:10:03.720 --> 00:10:04.388
My parents, "you are known by
00:10:04.454 --> 00:10:05.322
"you are known by the company --"
00:10:05.389 --> 00:10:06.757
The company --" [that you keep.]
00:10:06.823 --> 00:10:08.125
[that you keep.] y'all were in that house too;
00:10:08.191 --> 00:10:09.192
Y'all were in that house too; huh?
00:10:09.259 --> 00:10:10.093
Huh? (laughter)
00:10:10.160 --> 00:10:13.630
(laughter) and the problem in amos 3 is
00:10:13.697 --> 00:10:16.500
And the problem in amos 3 is that israel is keeping company
00:10:16.566 --> 00:10:18.335
That israel is keeping company with the nations that are
00:10:18.402 --> 00:10:19.670
With the nations that are around them instead of with
00:10:19.736 --> 00:10:21.104
Around them instead of with the god in whom they have
00:10:21.171 --> 00:10:22.339
The god in whom they have covenant.
00:10:22.406 --> 00:10:24.508
Covenant. israel was created by
00:10:24.574 --> 00:10:25.909
Israel was created by a sovereign and divine act
00:10:25.976 --> 00:10:27.377
A sovereign and divine act of god.
00:10:27.444 --> 00:10:28.078
Of god. and rather than keep his word,
00:10:28.145 --> 00:10:30.013
And rather than keep his word, they decided that they would
00:10:30.080 --> 00:10:31.014
They decided that they would rather behave like the pagan
00:10:31.081 --> 00:10:32.549
Rather behave like the pagan nations surrounding them than
00:10:32.616 --> 00:10:34.818
Nations surrounding them than they would be the children of
00:10:34.885 --> 00:10:36.219
They would be the children of abraham, isaac, and jacob.
00:10:36.286 --> 00:10:38.889
Abraham, isaac, and jacob. the nation that god delivered
00:10:38.955 --> 00:10:40.323
The nation that god delivered out of egypt's bondage and
00:10:40.390 --> 00:10:42.259
Out of egypt's bondage and brought into the prosperity
00:10:42.325 --> 00:10:43.760
Brought into the prosperity of the promised land,
00:10:43.827 --> 00:10:44.828
Of the promised land, now refuses to live by
00:10:44.895 --> 00:10:47.330
Now refuses to live by the covenants.
00:10:47.397 --> 00:10:49.266
The covenants. they used to be one nation
00:10:49.332 --> 00:10:50.667
They used to be one nation under jehovah god.
00:10:50.734 --> 00:10:51.902
Under jehovah god. and now, in amos,
00:10:51.968 --> 00:10:53.236
And now, in amos, they're two separate nations,
00:10:53.303 --> 00:10:56.106
They're two separate nations, israel in the north
00:10:56.173 --> 00:10:57.674
Israel in the north and judah in the south.
00:10:57.741 --> 00:10:59.676
And judah in the south. and this divided nation of
00:10:59.743 --> 00:11:01.011
And this divided nation of north and south that was once
00:11:01.078 --> 00:11:02.879
North and south that was once economically prosperous is now
00:11:02.946 --> 00:11:05.615
Economically prosperous is now targeted by the nations
00:11:05.682 --> 00:11:07.317
Targeted by the nations that surround it,
00:11:07.384 --> 00:11:08.285
That surround it, because when they're together
00:11:08.351 --> 00:11:09.820
Because when they're together and god is blessing the unity
00:11:09.886 --> 00:11:11.354
And god is blessing the unity of their togetherness,
00:11:11.421 --> 00:11:13.090
Of their togetherness, their agreement,
00:11:13.156 --> 00:11:14.257
Their agreement, no one can take them.
00:11:14.324 --> 00:11:15.358
No one can take them. but when they're divided,
00:11:15.425 --> 00:11:16.226
But when they're divided, they're a target
00:11:16.293 --> 00:11:16.827
They're a target for everybody.
00:11:16.893 --> 00:11:17.627
For everybody. sound familiar?
00:11:17.694 --> 00:11:19.362
Sound familiar? [yes.]
00:11:19.429 --> 00:11:21.131
[yes.] here's the greater challenge:
00:11:21.198 --> 00:11:24.534
Here's the greater challenge: when amos starts to prophesy,
00:11:24.601 --> 00:11:27.904
When amos starts to prophesy, both nations economically
00:11:27.971 --> 00:11:29.806
Both nations economically are prosperous.
00:11:29.873 --> 00:11:32.375
Are prosperous. and because they have money
00:11:32.442 --> 00:11:33.477
And because they have money in the bank,
00:11:33.543 --> 00:11:34.444
In the bank, they believe that the money
00:11:34.511 --> 00:11:35.979
They believe that the money in the bank equates to
00:11:36.046 --> 00:11:37.380
In the bank equates to god's blessing.
00:11:37.447 --> 00:11:41.051
God's blessing. and so they've deceived
00:11:41.118 --> 00:11:42.085
And so they've deceived themselves.
00:11:42.152 --> 00:11:44.287
Themselves. they believe that because
00:11:44.354 --> 00:11:45.422
They believe that because they can pay the bills,
00:11:45.489 --> 00:11:46.556
They can pay the bills, god's happy with them.
00:11:46.623 --> 00:11:49.092
God's happy with them. and so they go to the altar
00:11:49.159 --> 00:11:50.260
And so they go to the altar of the lord on the lord's day,
00:11:50.327 --> 00:11:52.095
Of the lord on the lord's day, and they sacrifice to the god
00:11:52.162 --> 00:11:53.196
And they sacrifice to the god of abraham, isaac, and jacob.
00:11:53.263 --> 00:11:54.798
Of abraham, isaac, and jacob. and then they go out into
00:11:54.865 --> 00:11:56.333
And then they go out into their own homes and they have
00:11:56.399 --> 00:11:57.934
Their own homes and they have altars to pagan gods.
00:11:58.001 --> 00:11:59.402
Altars to pagan gods. and god's word says,
00:11:59.469 --> 00:12:00.437
And god's word says, "thou shall have no other gods
00:12:00.504 --> 00:12:01.671
"thou shall have no other gods before me."
00:12:01.738 --> 00:12:02.439
Before me." but because there's money
00:12:02.506 --> 00:12:03.406
But because there's money in the bank, they say,
00:12:03.473 --> 00:12:04.541
In the bank, they say, "well god doesn't mind."
00:12:04.608 --> 00:12:08.178
"well god doesn't mind." you know anybody that looks
00:12:08.245 --> 00:12:11.481
You know anybody that looks at their bank balance to
00:12:11.548 --> 00:12:13.116
At their bank balance to determine whether or not
00:12:13.183 --> 00:12:13.950
Determine whether or not god's happy?
00:12:14.017 --> 00:12:16.553
God's happy? you need to understand god
00:12:16.620 --> 00:12:17.687
You need to understand god does not work in the currency
00:12:17.754 --> 00:12:19.322
Does not work in the currency of the united states
00:12:19.389 --> 00:12:20.157
Of the united states government.
00:12:20.223 --> 00:12:21.391
Government. [amen.]
00:12:21.458 --> 00:12:22.192

[yes.] (applause)as season,
00:12:22.926 --> 00:12:26.229
Remember,
00:12:27.197 --> 00:12:27.798
Bethlehem was no accident.
00:12:27.798 --> 00:12:29.199
Long before the world
00:12:29.199 --> 00:12:30.133
Was formed.
00:12:30.133 --> 00:12:30.734
God chose that
00:12:30.734 --> 00:12:31.601
Holy night for the savior
00:12:31.601 --> 00:12:32.803

Or visit jhm.org/noel
00:13:21.151 --> 00:13:25.188
In the day of amos,
00:13:26.189 --> 00:13:26.957
In the day of amos, were divided just like we're
00:13:27.023 --> 00:13:28.024
Were divided just like we're divided now.
00:13:28.091 --> 00:13:29.826
Divided now. they were divided politically.
00:13:29.893 --> 00:13:31.061
They were divided politically. they had separate agendas.
00:13:31.127 --> 00:13:32.295
They had separate agendas. they were divided spiritually.
00:13:32.362 --> 00:13:34.164
They were divided spiritually. they were mixing righteousness
00:13:34.231 --> 00:13:35.599
They were mixing righteousness with wickedness.
00:13:35.665 --> 00:13:36.533
With wickedness. they were divided socially,
00:13:36.600 --> 00:13:39.035
They were divided socially, because immorality
00:13:39.102 --> 00:13:39.870
Because immorality was rampant,
00:13:39.936 --> 00:13:40.604
Was rampant, and perversion was everywhere,
00:13:40.670 --> 00:13:42.038
And perversion was everywhere, and no one was doing anything
00:13:42.105 --> 00:13:43.340
And no one was doing anything about it.
00:13:43.406 --> 00:13:45.175
About it. and god sent a prophet named
00:13:45.242 --> 00:13:46.843
And god sent a prophet named amos with this message:
00:13:46.910 --> 00:13:48.478
Amos with this message: "can two walk together,
00:13:48.545 --> 00:13:50.513
"can two walk together, unless they be agreed?"
00:13:50.580 --> 00:13:53.416
Unless they be agreed?" simply said,
00:13:53.483 --> 00:13:54.484
Simply said, god was saying,
00:13:54.551 --> 00:13:55.352
God was saying, "watch your step."
00:13:55.418 --> 00:13:58.388
"watch your step." the direction you're going
00:13:58.455 --> 00:13:59.389
The direction you're going is headed for an abyss
00:13:59.456 --> 00:14:00.457
Is headed for an abyss of judgment.
00:14:00.523 --> 00:14:01.258
Of judgment. watch your step,
00:14:01.324 --> 00:14:03.493
Watch your step, because the wealth that you
00:14:03.560 --> 00:14:04.561
Because the wealth that you rejoice in could be gone
00:14:04.628 --> 00:14:06.062
Rejoice in could be gone in a day.
00:14:06.129 --> 00:14:06.630
In a day. watch your step,
00:14:06.696 --> 00:14:07.931
Watch your step, because the freedom
00:14:07.998 --> 00:14:08.732
Because the freedom and the liberty that you think
00:14:08.798 --> 00:14:10.100
And the liberty that you think you're entitled to could
00:14:10.166 --> 00:14:12.002
You're entitled to could vanish before your eyes.
00:14:12.068 --> 00:14:14.905
Vanish before your eyes. i believe that the words of
00:14:14.971 --> 00:14:16.106
I believe that the words of amos can echo through
00:14:16.172 --> 00:14:17.707
Amos can echo through centuries,
00:14:17.774 --> 00:14:18.575
Centuries, and they're very appropriate
00:14:18.642 --> 00:14:19.309
And they're very appropriate for the world that we live in
00:14:19.376 --> 00:14:20.744
For the world that we live in today,
00:14:20.810 --> 00:14:21.144
Today, because there's a great divide
00:14:21.211 --> 00:14:22.846
Because there's a great divide in our nation between right
00:14:22.913 --> 00:14:24.447
In our nation between right and wrong.
00:14:24.514 --> 00:14:24.948
And wrong. there's a great divide between
00:14:25.015 --> 00:14:26.650
There's a great divide between where we're going
00:14:26.716 --> 00:14:27.684
Where we're going and where we should go.
00:14:27.751 --> 00:14:30.720
And where we should go. and the truth is we need to
00:14:30.787 --> 00:14:31.721
And the truth is we need to answer this question:
00:14:31.788 --> 00:14:32.889
Answer this question: "can two walk together,
00:14:32.956 --> 00:14:34.791
"can two walk together, unless they be agreed?"
00:14:34.858 --> 00:14:36.660
Unless they be agreed?" understand that this question
00:14:36.726 --> 00:14:38.495
Understand that this question is not being asked by
00:14:38.561 --> 00:14:39.796
Is not being asked by a candidate who is running
00:14:39.863 --> 00:14:41.231
A candidate who is running for office.
00:14:41.298 --> 00:14:41.865
For office. this question is being asked
00:14:41.932 --> 00:14:43.466
This question is being asked by the god who created heaven
00:14:43.533 --> 00:14:45.068
By the god who created heaven and earth.
00:14:45.135 --> 00:14:46.336
And earth. consider those who walked
00:14:46.403 --> 00:14:47.370
Consider those who walked with god.
00:14:47.437 --> 00:14:49.773
With god. the bible tells us in genesis
00:14:49.839 --> 00:14:50.974
The bible tells us in genesis that enoch walked with god;
00:14:51.041 --> 00:14:54.010
That enoch walked with god; and he was not,
00:14:54.077 --> 00:14:55.011
And he was not, for god took him."
00:14:55.078 --> 00:14:56.546
For god took him." [yes.]
00:14:56.613 --> 00:14:57.814
[yes.] now some of you say,
00:14:57.881 --> 00:14:58.415
Now some of you say, "well i don't know if i want
00:14:58.481 --> 00:14:59.182
"well i don't know if i want to get that close."
00:14:59.249 --> 00:15:00.951
To get that close." (laughter)
00:15:01.017 --> 00:15:03.253
(laughter) the point is this;
00:15:03.320 --> 00:15:04.020
The point is this; when you walk with god,
00:15:04.087 --> 00:15:05.155
When you walk with god, you're welcome in
00:15:05.221 --> 00:15:06.022
You're welcome in his presence.
00:15:06.089 --> 00:15:08.158
His presence. [amen.]
00:15:08.224 --> 00:15:09.392
[amen.] and eventually,
00:15:09.459 --> 00:15:09.960
And eventually, every one of us is going to
00:15:10.026 --> 00:15:10.760
Every one of us is going to walk to the end of our life.
00:15:10.827 --> 00:15:14.164
Walk to the end of our life. and when you get there,
00:15:14.230 --> 00:15:15.165
And when you get there, trust me;
00:15:15.231 --> 00:15:15.699
Trust me; you want to be welcome in
00:15:15.765 --> 00:15:17.133
You want to be welcome in god's presence.
00:15:17.200 --> 00:15:18.535
God's presence. [amen.]
00:15:18.601 --> 00:15:20.370
[amen.] which means you better start
00:15:20.437 --> 00:15:21.271
Which means you better start walking with him now.
00:15:21.338 --> 00:15:23.173
Walking with him now. [yes.]
00:15:23.239 --> 00:15:25.041
[yes.] because you can't show up in
00:15:25.108 --> 00:15:26.209
Because you can't show up in that moment and hear him say,
00:15:26.276 --> 00:15:31.081
That moment and hear him say, "depart from me.
00:15:31.147 --> 00:15:33.216
"depart from me. i never knew you."
00:15:33.283 --> 00:15:35.385
I never knew you." listen to what king david
00:15:35.452 --> 00:15:36.319
Listen to what king david said.
00:15:36.386 --> 00:15:38.321
Said. he said,
00:15:38.388 --> 00:15:38.788
He said, "blessed is the man
00:15:38.855 --> 00:15:39.489
"blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel
00:15:39.556 --> 00:15:43.593
Who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly."
00:15:43.660 --> 00:15:45.595
Of the ungodly." ungodly people are just people
00:15:45.662 --> 00:15:46.896
Ungodly people are just people who don't do what god wants.
00:15:46.963 --> 00:15:50.934
Who don't do what god wants. and david says when you start
00:15:51.001 --> 00:15:51.968
And david says when you start walking with people who do not
00:15:52.035 --> 00:15:53.436
Walking with people who do not do what god wants,
00:15:53.503 --> 00:15:54.704
Do what god wants, you're headed in
00:15:54.771 --> 00:15:55.138
You're headed in the wrong direction,
00:15:55.205 --> 00:15:57.474
The wrong direction, because the next thing that
00:15:57.540 --> 00:15:58.208
Because the next thing that you're going to do after
00:15:58.274 --> 00:15:59.042
You're going to do after you start taking counsel,
00:15:59.109 --> 00:16:00.643
You start taking counsel, advice, from ungodly people,
00:16:00.710 --> 00:16:03.179
Advice, from ungodly people, is you're going to start
00:16:03.246 --> 00:16:04.047
Is you're going to start standing up for sinners.
00:16:04.114 --> 00:16:07.183
Standing up for sinners. and everywhere you look
00:16:07.250 --> 00:16:07.984
And everywhere you look in our world today,
00:16:08.051 --> 00:16:08.818
In our world today, what are we doing?
00:16:08.885 --> 00:16:09.419
What are we doing? we're standing up for sinners.
00:16:09.486 --> 00:16:11.554
We're standing up for sinners. [amen.]
00:16:11.621 --> 00:16:12.389
[amen.] we're defending things that
00:16:12.455 --> 00:16:13.957
We're defending things that god calls an abomination.
00:16:14.024 --> 00:16:16.092
God calls an abomination. [amen.]
00:16:16.159 --> 00:16:17.694
[amen.] god said he hates hands
00:16:17.761 --> 00:16:19.262
God said he hates hands that shed innocent blood.
00:16:19.329 --> 00:16:20.563
That shed innocent blood. and we're defending people's
00:16:20.630 --> 00:16:21.998
And we're defending people's right --
00:16:22.065 --> 00:16:23.633
Right -- [that's right!]
00:16:23.700 --> 00:16:24.467
[that's right!] -- to murder a child before
00:16:24.534 --> 00:16:25.735
-- to murder a child before it has the chance to breathe.
00:16:25.802 --> 00:16:27.937
It has the chance to breathe. [that's it.]
00:16:28.004 --> 00:16:28.671
[that's it.] [yes.]
00:16:28.738 --> 00:16:29.606
[yes.] [amen.]
00:16:29.672 --> 00:16:30.640
[amen.] [amen.]
00:16:30.707 --> 00:16:32.142
[amen.] after you start defending
00:16:32.208 --> 00:16:33.309
After you start defending sinners,
00:16:33.376 --> 00:16:34.077
Sinners, then you get comfortable.
00:16:34.144 --> 00:16:36.279
Then you get comfortable. because david said,
00:16:36.346 --> 00:16:36.980
Because david said, "you sit in the seat
00:16:37.047 --> 00:16:38.481
"you sit in the seat of the scornful."
00:16:38.548 --> 00:16:40.984
Of the scornful." and there's a difference
00:16:41.051 --> 00:16:41.684
And there's a difference between ungodly people,
00:16:41.751 --> 00:16:43.153
Between ungodly people, sinners,
00:16:43.219 --> 00:16:43.787
Sinners, and scornful people.
00:16:43.853 --> 00:16:45.855
And scornful people. ungodly people just don't do
00:16:45.922 --> 00:16:47.123
Ungodly people just don't do what god likes.
00:16:47.190 --> 00:16:49.526
What god likes. sinners deliberately disobey
00:16:49.592 --> 00:16:51.361
Sinners deliberately disobey god's word.
00:16:51.428 --> 00:16:52.162
God's word. scornful people mock god.
00:16:52.228 --> 00:16:56.232
Scornful people mock god. and we live in a world that
00:16:56.299 --> 00:16:57.200
And we live in a world that mocks god freely.
00:16:57.267 --> 00:17:00.437
Mocks god freely. [that's right.]
00:17:00.503 --> 00:17:03.073
[that's right.] and when you're willing to sit
00:17:03.139 --> 00:17:04.107
And when you're willing to sit in the seat of the scornful,
00:17:04.174 --> 00:17:05.642
In the seat of the scornful, it means that you are more
00:17:05.708 --> 00:17:06.776
It means that you are more comfortable with people who
00:17:06.843 --> 00:17:08.178
Comfortable with people who make a mock of god than you
00:17:08.244 --> 00:17:09.846
Make a mock of god than you are a move of the spirit.
00:17:09.913 --> 00:17:12.382
Are a move of the spirit. [amen.]
00:17:12.449 --> 00:17:13.116
[amen.] (applause)
00:17:13.183 --> 00:17:18.888
(applause) we've become so numb to it
00:17:18.955 --> 00:17:20.523
We've become so numb to it that we watch it for hours on
00:17:20.590 --> 00:17:21.891
That we watch it for hours on television or on our streaming
00:17:21.958 --> 00:17:24.561
Television or on our streaming devices,
00:17:24.627 --> 00:17:25.195
Devices, and we roll our eyes,
00:17:25.261 --> 00:17:26.096
And we roll our eyes, and says, "well,
00:17:26.162 --> 00:17:26.696
And says, "well, it's just entertainment."
00:17:26.763 --> 00:17:27.564
It's just entertainment." and then we get in god's house
00:17:27.630 --> 00:17:28.765
And then we get in god's house and the spirit of the lord
00:17:28.832 --> 00:17:29.599
And the spirit of the lord moves in, and we go,
00:17:29.666 --> 00:17:30.266
Moves in, and we go, "i don't -- i don't,
00:17:30.333 --> 00:17:30.867
"i don't -- i don't, i don't know what i want
00:17:30.934 --> 00:17:31.468
I don't know what i want to do.
00:17:31.534 --> 00:17:32.235
To do. okay.
00:17:32.302 --> 00:17:32.802
Okay. i'll raise a hand."
00:17:32.869 --> 00:17:33.403
I'll raise a hand." (shyly raising his hand)
00:17:33.470 --> 00:17:34.771
(shyly raising his hand) (laughter)
00:17:34.838 --> 00:17:36.873
(laughter) [right.]
00:17:36.940 --> 00:17:38.875
[right.] why?
00:17:38.942 --> 00:17:40.677
Why? you're more comfortable in the
00:17:40.743 --> 00:17:42.212
You're more comfortable in the wicked environment than you
00:17:42.278 --> 00:17:43.213
Wicked environment than you are the righteous one.
00:17:43.279 --> 00:17:44.681
Are the righteous one. [woo!]
00:17:44.747 --> 00:17:48.384
[woo!] david said,
00:17:48.451 --> 00:17:49.419
David said, "blessed is the man
00:17:49.486 --> 00:17:50.186
"blessed is the man who doesn't walk,
00:17:50.253 --> 00:17:52.622
Who doesn't walk, and who doesn't stand,
00:17:52.689 --> 00:17:53.590
And who doesn't stand, and who doesn't sit with
00:17:53.656 --> 00:17:54.557
And who doesn't sit with the ungodly."
00:17:54.624 --> 00:17:56.526
The ungodly." he said,
00:17:56.593 --> 00:17:56.960
He said, "because he'll be like a tree
00:17:57.026 --> 00:17:59.662
"because he'll be like a tree planted --"
00:17:59.729 --> 00:18:00.296
Planted --" say that word with me.
00:18:00.363 --> 00:18:01.598
Say that word with me. "planted."
00:18:01.664 --> 00:18:04.567
"planted." when you walk with god,
00:18:04.634 --> 00:18:05.535
When you walk with god, god plants you.
00:18:05.602 --> 00:18:07.370
God plants you. [amen.]
00:18:07.437 --> 00:18:08.171
[amen.] you don't just grow up
00:18:08.238 --> 00:18:09.139
You don't just grow up somewhere.
00:18:09.205 --> 00:18:09.772
Somewhere. god puts you somewhere.
00:18:09.839 --> 00:18:11.641
God puts you somewhere. [amen.]
00:18:11.708 --> 00:18:13.443
[amen.] wild weeds just grow.
00:18:13.510 --> 00:18:15.445
Wild weeds just grow. but things that are planted
00:18:15.512 --> 00:18:16.513
But things that are planted are valuable.
00:18:16.579 --> 00:18:18.515
Are valuable. and some of you need to hear
00:18:18.581 --> 00:18:19.482
And some of you need to hear that today.
00:18:19.549 --> 00:18:20.250
That today. you are where god planted you.
00:18:20.316 --> 00:18:22.852
You are where god planted you. [that's it.]
00:18:22.919 --> 00:18:23.453
[that's it.] you're not going to produce
00:18:23.520 --> 00:18:24.554
You're not going to produce until you get comfortable
00:18:24.621 --> 00:18:25.688
Until you get comfortable where you're planted.
00:18:25.755 --> 00:18:28.625
Where you're planted. a lot of god's kids look at
00:18:28.691 --> 00:18:29.792
A lot of god's kids look at what somebody else is doing,
00:18:29.859 --> 00:18:30.793
What somebody else is doing, and they try to pull
00:18:30.860 --> 00:18:31.561
And they try to pull themselves out of where
00:18:31.628 --> 00:18:32.729
Themselves out of where they're planted and go over
00:18:32.795 --> 00:18:33.997
They're planted and go over and be somebody else.
00:18:34.063 --> 00:18:35.765
And be somebody else. (laughter)
00:18:35.832 --> 00:18:39.936
(laughter) when you're planted,
00:18:40.003 --> 00:18:41.037
When you're planted, produce where you're planted.
00:18:41.104 --> 00:18:43.673
Produce where you're planted. [amen.]
00:18:43.740 --> 00:18:44.507
[amen.] "the steps of the righteous
00:18:44.574 --> 00:18:45.441
"the steps of the righteous are ordered of the lord."
00:18:45.508 --> 00:18:46.509
Are ordered of the lord." it's not an accident that
00:18:46.576 --> 00:18:47.577
It's not an accident that you're there.
00:18:47.644 --> 00:18:48.111
You're there. god planted you there.
00:18:48.178 --> 00:18:49.913
God planted you there. [that's right.]
00:18:49.979 --> 00:18:50.380
[that's right.] now keep reading.
00:18:50.446 --> 00:18:51.014
Now keep reading. it says,
00:18:51.080 --> 00:18:51.514
It says, you'll be planted like a tree
00:18:51.581 --> 00:18:54.918
You'll be planted like a tree by rivers of living water.
00:18:54.984 --> 00:18:56.619
By rivers of living water. in the bible,
00:18:56.686 --> 00:18:57.487
In the bible, living water is flowing water.
00:18:57.554 --> 00:18:59.956
Living water is flowing water. it's not stagnant water,
00:19:00.023 --> 00:19:01.324
It's not stagnant water, meaning it has a source.
00:19:01.391 --> 00:19:04.160
Meaning it has a source. stagnant water is something
00:19:04.227 --> 00:19:05.662
Stagnant water is something that doesn't have a stream
00:19:05.728 --> 00:19:06.896
That doesn't have a stream flowing into it,
00:19:06.963 --> 00:19:07.697
Flowing into it, so eventually it'll dry up.
00:19:07.764 --> 00:19:09.933
So eventually it'll dry up. but living water has a source,
00:19:09.999 --> 00:19:11.768
But living water has a source, which will never run dry.
00:19:11.834 --> 00:19:13.102
Which will never run dry. so god's promise,
00:19:13.169 --> 00:19:14.070
So god's promise, when you walk with him,
00:19:14.137 --> 00:19:15.004
When you walk with him, is one,
00:19:15.071 --> 00:19:15.538
Is one, he's going to plant you
00:19:15.605 --> 00:19:16.639
He's going to plant you somewhere;
00:19:16.706 --> 00:19:17.373
Somewhere; and two,
00:19:17.440 --> 00:19:17.974
And two, he's going to be your resource
00:19:18.041 --> 00:19:19.842
He's going to be your resource that never runs dry.
00:19:19.909 --> 00:19:21.911
That never runs dry. [yes.]
00:19:21.978 --> 00:19:22.912
[yes.] then it gets even better.
00:19:22.979 --> 00:19:24.747
Then it gets even better. "your fruit will come
00:19:24.814 --> 00:19:25.915
"your fruit will come in its season."
00:19:25.982 --> 00:19:30.820
In its season." how many of you look forward
00:19:30.887 --> 00:19:31.921
How many of you look forward to eating pumpkin in july
00:19:31.988 --> 00:19:34.224
To eating pumpkin in july and watermelon in october?
00:19:34.290 --> 00:19:36.626
And watermelon in october? (laughter)
00:19:36.693 --> 00:19:37.961
(laughter) no.
00:19:38.027 --> 00:19:38.361
No. you flip it around.
00:19:38.428 --> 00:19:40.563
You flip it around. you want your fall fruit
00:19:40.630 --> 00:19:41.698
You want your fall fruit in the fall season.
00:19:41.764 --> 00:19:42.565
In the fall season. you want your summer fruit
00:19:42.632 --> 00:19:43.499
You want your summer fruit in the summer season.
00:19:43.566 --> 00:19:45.034
In the summer season. [amen.]
00:19:45.101 --> 00:19:46.502
[amen.] back in the time of the bible,
00:19:46.569 --> 00:19:47.704
Back in the time of the bible, it was an agricultural
00:19:47.770 --> 00:19:48.771
It was an agricultural society.
00:19:48.838 --> 00:19:49.305
Society. they understood seasons.
00:19:49.372 --> 00:19:51.975
They understood seasons. and fruit means that there's
00:19:52.041 --> 00:19:52.942
And fruit means that there's work to do and you have to
00:19:53.009 --> 00:19:54.043
Work to do and you have to produce.
00:19:54.110 --> 00:19:55.979
Produce. but if you produce the wrong
00:19:56.045 --> 00:19:57.247
But if you produce the wrong fruit in the wrong season,
00:19:57.313 --> 00:19:58.414
Fruit in the wrong season, nobody wants it.
00:19:58.481 --> 00:19:59.782
Nobody wants it. [amen.]
00:19:59.849 --> 00:20:00.316
[amen.] [amen.]
00:20:00.383 --> 00:20:01.117
[amen.] when you're walking with god,
00:20:01.184 --> 00:20:02.151
When you're walking with god, not only does he put you where
00:20:02.218 --> 00:20:03.219
Not only does he put you where he wants you,
00:20:03.286 --> 00:20:03.987
He wants you, and he provides what you need,
00:20:04.053 --> 00:20:05.688
And he provides what you need, but he makes sure that you're
00:20:05.755 --> 00:20:07.056
But he makes sure that you're providing what's needed
00:20:07.123 --> 00:20:08.458
Providing what's needed when it's needed.
00:20:08.524 --> 00:20:09.726
When it's needed. [come on.]
00:20:09.792 --> 00:20:10.326
[come on.] [hallelujah.]
00:20:10.393 --> 00:20:11.027
[hallelujah.] it gets better.
00:20:11.094 --> 00:20:12.962
It gets better. "whose leaf will not wither."
00:20:13.029 --> 00:20:17.634
"whose leaf will not wither." if there's four seasons,
00:20:17.700 --> 00:20:19.068
If there's four seasons, there's four leaves,
00:20:19.135 --> 00:20:21.404
There's four leaves, because a summer leaf won't
00:20:21.471 --> 00:20:22.939
Because a summer leaf won't grow in the winter,
00:20:23.006 --> 00:20:23.806
Grow in the winter, and a winter leaf won't grow
00:20:23.873 --> 00:20:24.874
And a winter leaf won't grow in the summer.
00:20:24.941 --> 00:20:25.942
In the summer. [that's right.]
00:20:26.009 --> 00:20:27.210
[that's right.] and sometimes what people get
00:20:27.277 --> 00:20:28.344
And sometimes what people get frustrated with whenever
00:20:28.411 --> 00:20:29.412
Frustrated with whenever they're planted some place is,

The fruit-- what god is saying,
00:20:39.355 --> 00:20:40.390
