00:00:14.041 --> 00:00:15.443
Pastor matt hagee: "don't get so bent out of shape."
00:00:15.509 --> 00:00:18.679
So bent out of shape." it's a phrase that we use
00:00:18.746 --> 00:00:21.015
It's a phrase that we use whenever we're trying to
00:00:21.082 --> 00:00:21.849
Whenever we're trying to encourage somebody not to lose
00:00:21.916 --> 00:00:23.417
Encourage somebody not to lose it over something that they
00:00:23.484 --> 00:00:24.618
It over something that they shouldn't lose it over.
00:00:24.685 --> 00:00:25.786
Shouldn't lose it over. how many of you have things
00:00:25.853 --> 00:00:28.022
How many of you have things in life that cause you
00:00:28.089 --> 00:00:29.090
In life that cause you to lose it?
00:00:29.156 --> 00:00:31.058
To lose it? and you say,
00:00:31.125 --> 00:00:31.492
And you say, "i'm not going to lose it."
00:00:31.559 --> 00:00:32.326
"i'm not going to lose it." but then they do it
00:00:32.393 --> 00:00:33.094
But then they do it and then you lose it?
00:00:33.160 --> 00:00:34.528
And then you lose it? [amen.]
00:00:34.595 --> 00:00:35.329
[amen.] (laughter)
00:00:35.396 --> 00:00:35.930
(laughter) i mean, sometimes
00:00:35.996 --> 00:00:36.564
I mean, sometimes life's irritations
00:00:36.630 --> 00:00:37.698
Life's irritations can cause you to get bent out
00:00:37.765 --> 00:00:39.300
Can cause you to get bent out of shape.
00:00:39.366 --> 00:00:39.867
Of shape. there's circumstances outside
00:00:39.934 --> 00:00:41.035
There's circumstances outside of your control,
00:00:41.102 --> 00:00:41.969
Of your control, frustrating things,
00:00:42.036 --> 00:00:43.537
Frustrating things, scenarios that you didn't
00:00:43.604 --> 00:00:44.839
Scenarios that you didn't plan for,
00:00:44.905 --> 00:00:45.706
Plan for, and when the routine gets
00:00:45.773 --> 00:00:47.007
And when the routine gets disrupted by the unseen,
00:00:47.074 --> 00:00:48.809
Disrupted by the unseen, suddenly you get bent out
00:00:48.876 --> 00:00:51.011
Suddenly you get bent out of shape.
00:00:51.078 --> 00:00:52.279
Of shape. [amen.]
00:00:52.346 --> 00:00:52.947
[amen.] and sometimes there's things
00:00:53.013 --> 00:00:53.714
And sometimes there's things in life that it's not outside
00:00:53.781 --> 00:00:56.183
In life that it's not outside of you,
00:00:56.250 --> 00:00:56.550
Of you, it's not big things,
00:00:56.617 --> 00:00:57.351
It's not big things, it's not little things,
00:00:57.418 --> 00:00:58.452
It's not little things, it's something down
00:00:58.519 --> 00:00:59.220
It's something down on the inside of you.
00:00:59.286 --> 00:01:01.856
On the inside of you. it's in your spirit.
00:01:01.922 --> 00:01:04.325
It's in your spirit. and over time,
00:01:04.391 --> 00:01:05.392
And over time, it takes a hold of parts of
00:01:05.459 --> 00:01:06.794
It takes a hold of parts of your life that you wish it
00:01:06.861 --> 00:01:07.795
Your life that you wish it wouldn't but somehow it did.
00:01:07.862 --> 00:01:09.563
Wouldn't but somehow it did. and then whenever it gets to
00:01:09.630 --> 00:01:10.731
And then whenever it gets to its full maturity,
00:01:10.798 --> 00:01:12.399
Its full maturity, suddenly you find yourself
00:01:12.466 --> 00:01:13.667
Suddenly you find yourself bent out of shape in a way
00:01:13.734 --> 00:01:15.169
Bent out of shape in a way you never thought you
00:01:15.236 --> 00:01:16.003
You never thought you would be.
00:01:16.070 --> 00:01:18.239
Would be. and this is where we find
00:01:18.305 --> 00:01:19.306
And this is where we find jesus in the synagogue
00:01:19.373 --> 00:01:20.741
Jesus in the synagogue on the sabbath day.
00:01:20.808 --> 00:01:22.209
On the sabbath day. as he's teaching,
00:01:22.276 --> 00:01:23.511
As he's teaching, a woman comes into
00:01:23.577 --> 00:01:24.712
A woman comes into the synagogue
00:01:24.778 --> 00:01:25.546
The synagogue and she is bent out of shape.
00:01:25.613 --> 00:01:30.251
And she is bent out of shape. the bible says that she's
00:01:30.317 --> 00:01:31.418
The bible says that she's so bent over,
00:01:31.485 --> 00:01:32.253
So bent over, luke, the physician,
00:01:32.319 --> 00:01:33.254
Luke, the physician, describes her in the greek
00:01:33.320 --> 00:01:34.722
Describes her in the greek language as being bent over
00:01:34.788 --> 00:01:36.824
Language as being bent over double.
00:01:36.891 --> 00:01:38.726
Double. the translation that you read,
00:01:38.792 --> 00:01:40.227
The translation that you read, in luke 13,
00:01:40.294 --> 00:01:42.163
In luke 13, says she's bent over
00:01:42.229 --> 00:01:43.631
Says she's bent over and cannot lift up her head.
00:01:43.697 --> 00:01:45.065
And cannot lift up her head. in the greek,
00:01:45.132 --> 00:01:45.766
In the greek, when you read it,
00:01:45.833 --> 00:01:46.300
When you read it, it says she's like this.
00:01:46.367 --> 00:01:50.404
It says she's like this. and when it says she can't
00:01:50.471 --> 00:01:51.205
And when it says she can't bend up her head,
00:01:51.272 --> 00:01:52.439
Bend up her head, she can't even look straight
00:01:52.506 --> 00:01:54.175
She can't even look straight in order to walk.
00:01:54.241 --> 00:01:57.144
In order to walk. now, we might see her
00:01:57.211 --> 00:01:58.078
Now, we might see her and wonder how on earth
00:01:58.145 --> 00:01:59.280
And wonder how on earth did she wind up this way.
00:01:59.346 --> 00:02:00.714
Did she wind up this way. but jesus tells us
00:02:00.781 --> 00:02:01.916
But jesus tells us in luke
00:02:01.982 --> 00:02:02.449
In luke that the devil has bound her
00:02:02.516 --> 00:02:03.984
That the devil has bound her with a spirit of infirmity.
00:02:04.051 --> 00:02:07.688
With a spirit of infirmity. so it's not an outside
00:02:07.755 --> 00:02:08.756
So it's not an outside circumstance;
00:02:08.822 --> 00:02:09.657
Circumstance; it's an inside thing that has
00:02:09.723 --> 00:02:11.258
It's an inside thing that has twisted her life in such a way
00:02:11.325 --> 00:02:13.360
Twisted her life in such a way that she can't function
00:02:13.427 --> 00:02:14.395
That she can't function properly and she's bent out
00:02:14.461 --> 00:02:16.830
Properly and she's bent out of shape.
00:02:16.897 --> 00:02:19.700
Of shape. now, as i began to consider
00:02:19.767 --> 00:02:20.701
Now, as i began to consider what it means to have
00:02:20.768 --> 00:02:21.602
What it means to have a spirit of infirmity,
00:02:21.669 --> 00:02:22.636
A spirit of infirmity, i was asking the lord to share
00:02:22.703 --> 00:02:23.871
I was asking the lord to share with me how do you bring so
00:02:23.938 --> 00:02:26.607
With me how do you bring so many people into understanding
00:02:26.674 --> 00:02:27.942
Many people into understanding what this spirit,
00:02:28.008 --> 00:02:29.176
What this spirit, mind and body thing does
00:02:29.243 --> 00:02:30.644
Mind and body thing does because, as human beings,
00:02:30.711 --> 00:02:31.745
Because, as human beings, we want to compartmentalize
00:02:31.812 --> 00:02:33.080
We want to compartmentalize everything.
00:02:33.147 --> 00:02:33.514
Everything. we say,
00:02:33.581 --> 00:02:34.081
We say, "well, that's an emotion;
00:02:34.148 --> 00:02:34.715
"well, that's an emotion; that's not a fact.
00:02:34.782 --> 00:02:35.482
That's not a fact. and that's a feeling;
00:02:35.549 --> 00:02:36.317
And that's a feeling; it has no reality.
00:02:36.383 --> 00:02:37.351
It has no reality. and-- and--
00:02:37.418 --> 00:02:38.185
And-- and-- and we want everything
00:02:38.252 --> 00:02:38.919
And we want everything to have its own nice, neat,
00:02:38.986 --> 00:02:40.154
To have its own nice, neat, little place.
00:02:40.221 --> 00:02:40.688
Little place. but the reality of it is,
00:02:40.754 --> 00:02:41.755
But the reality of it is, you are one being with spirit,
00:02:41.822 --> 00:02:43.457
You are one being with spirit, mind and body.
00:02:43.524 --> 00:02:44.458
Mind and body. and it's all messed up
00:02:44.525 --> 00:02:45.426
And it's all messed up in what you call a man.
00:02:45.492 --> 00:02:49.563
In what you call a man. and this woman,
00:02:49.630 --> 00:02:50.698
And this woman, whether she wanted to or not,
00:02:50.764 --> 00:02:51.999
Whether she wanted to or not, for 18 years,
00:02:52.066 --> 00:02:52.900
For 18 years, she had something that was put
00:02:52.967 --> 00:02:54.635
She had something that was put into her life that caused her
00:02:54.702 --> 00:02:56.904
Into her life that caused her to turn out this way.
00:02:56.971 --> 00:02:59.907
To turn out this way. maybe it started with just
00:02:59.974 --> 00:03:00.808
Maybe it started with just something she was thinking
00:03:00.874 --> 00:03:01.709
Something she was thinking about.
00:03:01.775 --> 00:03:02.109
About. but the more she thought
00:03:02.176 --> 00:03:02.843
But the more she thought about it,
00:03:02.910 --> 00:03:03.477
About it, the more she worried about it.
00:03:03.544 --> 00:03:04.278
The more she worried about it. and the more she worried
00:03:04.345 --> 00:03:04.945
And the more she worried about it,
00:03:05.012 --> 00:03:05.646
About it, the more it started to impact
00:03:05.713 --> 00:03:06.580
The more it started to impact how she behaved.
00:03:06.647 --> 00:03:09.350
How she behaved. have you ever watched
00:03:09.416 --> 00:03:10.517
Have you ever watched something on television as
00:03:10.584 --> 00:03:11.285
Something on television as they describe symptoms and you
00:03:11.352 --> 00:03:12.519
They describe symptoms and you say, "i got that"?
00:03:12.586 --> 00:03:13.887
Say, "i got that"? [that's right.]
00:03:13.954 --> 00:03:14.722
[that's right.] (laughter)
00:03:14.788 --> 00:03:15.522
(laughter) and then you do something
00:03:15.589 --> 00:03:16.056
And then you do something silly like you check
00:03:16.123 --> 00:03:17.124
Silly like you check dr. google and you look it up
00:03:17.191 --> 00:03:18.392
Dr. google and you look it up online?
00:03:18.459 --> 00:03:19.860
Online? and then you go from
00:03:19.927 --> 00:03:20.461
And then you go from "i think i have that"
00:03:20.527 --> 00:03:21.362
"i think i have that" to "i know i have this."
00:03:21.428 --> 00:03:23.597
To "i know i have this." (laughter)
00:03:23.664 --> 00:03:25.666
(laughter) and before you even saw
00:03:25.733 --> 00:03:26.934
And before you even saw the commercial,
00:03:27.001 --> 00:03:27.368
The commercial, you felt perfectly fine?
00:03:27.434 --> 00:03:29.403
You felt perfectly fine? (laughter)
00:03:29.470 --> 00:03:30.971
(laughter) this is spirit, mind and body.
00:03:31.038 --> 00:03:32.539
This is spirit, mind and body. and the problem is-- is that
00:03:32.606 --> 00:03:33.974
And the problem is-- is that for all of the people who are
00:03:34.041 --> 00:03:34.975
For all of the people who are hacking at the branches,
00:03:35.042 --> 00:03:35.976
Hacking at the branches, very few of them get down to
00:03:36.043 --> 00:03:37.278
Very few of them get down to the root.
00:03:37.344 --> 00:03:38.946
The root. and jesus, in one sentence,
00:03:39.013 --> 00:03:40.080
And jesus, in one sentence, he gets down to the root of
00:03:40.147 --> 00:03:41.115
He gets down to the root of the situation.
00:03:41.181 --> 00:03:42.883
The situation. he says,
00:03:42.950 --> 00:03:43.417
He says, "this woman whom satan has
00:03:43.484 --> 00:03:45.653
"this woman whom satan has bound."
00:03:45.719 --> 00:03:47.755
Bound." now, what's the root cause
00:03:47.821 --> 00:03:48.856
Now, what's the root cause of this spirit of infirmity?
00:03:48.922 --> 00:03:50.324
Of this spirit of infirmity? satan has bound,
00:03:50.391 --> 00:03:52.826
Satan has bound, which means that what he said
00:03:52.893 --> 00:03:54.528
Which means that what he said is a lie.
00:03:54.595 --> 00:03:56.797
Is a lie. she's been bound by 18 years
00:03:56.864 --> 00:03:59.166
She's been bound by 18 years by a lie.
00:03:59.233 --> 00:04:00.467
By a lie. how do you know that,
00:04:00.534 --> 00:04:01.168
How do you know that, pastor matt?
00:04:01.235 --> 00:04:01.735
Pastor matt? because jesus said that satan
00:04:01.802 --> 00:04:03.337
Because jesus said that satan is a liar from the beginning,
00:04:03.404 --> 00:04:04.371
Is a liar from the beginning, and everything he says
00:04:04.438 --> 00:04:05.205
And everything he says is a lie.
00:04:05.272 --> 00:04:06.340
Is a lie. [that's right.]
00:04:06.407 --> 00:04:07.241
[that's right.] (applause)
00:04:07.308 --> 00:04:08.809
(applause) luke 13:10,
00:04:08.876 --> 00:04:10.044
Luke 13:10, it says,
00:04:10.110 --> 00:04:10.844
It says, "and he was in the synagogue
00:04:10.911 --> 00:04:12.413
"and he was in the synagogue on the sabbath day."
00:04:12.479 --> 00:04:15.149
On the sabbath day." sounds simple.
00:04:15.215 --> 00:04:16.116
Sounds simple. but when you think about it,
00:04:16.183 --> 00:04:17.017
But when you think about it, it's profound.
00:04:17.084 --> 00:04:19.353
It's profound. these are the last few weeks
00:04:19.420 --> 00:04:20.721
These are the last few weeks that the son of god,
00:04:20.788 --> 00:04:22.289
That the son of god, from heaven to earth,
00:04:22.356 --> 00:04:23.490
From heaven to earth, wearing a flesh suit,
00:04:23.557 --> 00:04:24.725
Wearing a flesh suit, is going to be
00:04:24.792 --> 00:04:25.492
Is going to be on the earth.
00:04:25.559 --> 00:04:27.027
On the earth. he's on his way from galilee
00:04:27.094 --> 00:04:28.829
He's on his way from galilee to jerusalem by way of
00:04:28.896 --> 00:04:30.130
To jerusalem by way of jericho.
00:04:30.197 --> 00:04:31.899
Jericho. six chapters from now,
00:04:31.965 --> 00:04:33.434
Six chapters from now, he's going to walk into
00:04:33.500 --> 00:04:34.468
He's going to walk into the city of jerusalem
00:04:34.535 --> 00:04:35.369
The city of jerusalem and they're going to be
00:04:35.436 --> 00:04:36.003
And they're going to be shouting "hosanna!"
00:04:36.070 --> 00:04:37.404
Shouting "hosanna!" and just a few days after
00:04:37.471 --> 00:04:38.505
And just a few days after that,
00:04:38.572 --> 00:04:38.772
That, they're going to be screaming,
00:04:38.839 --> 00:04:40.007
They're going to be screaming, "crucify him!"
00:04:40.074 --> 00:04:42.142
"crucify him!" the weight of the world
00:04:42.209 --> 00:04:42.843
The weight of the world is going to be upon
00:04:42.910 --> 00:04:43.711
Is going to be upon his shoulders,
00:04:43.777 --> 00:04:44.378
His shoulders, a crown of thorns upon
00:04:44.445 --> 00:04:45.346
A crown of thorns upon his head,
00:04:45.412 --> 00:04:46.246
His head, stripes upon his back,
00:04:46.313 --> 00:04:47.848
Stripes upon his back, nails in his hands
00:04:47.915 --> 00:04:49.416
Nails in his hands and his feet,
00:04:49.483 --> 00:04:50.551
And his feet, for our sake so that
00:04:50.617 --> 00:04:51.852
For our sake so that we might be set free.
00:04:51.919 --> 00:04:53.654
We might be set free. [yes.]
00:04:53.721 --> 00:04:54.254
[yes.] [amen.]
00:04:54.321 --> 00:04:54.888
[amen.] now, you would think with all
00:04:54.955 --> 00:04:55.989
Now, you would think with all of these things going on
00:04:56.056 --> 00:04:57.257
Of these things going on in his life,
00:04:57.324 --> 00:04:57.958
In his life, with such an important mission
00:04:58.025 --> 00:04:59.326
With such an important mission to accomplish,
00:04:59.393 --> 00:05:00.127
To accomplish, with everything that
00:05:00.194 --> 00:05:00.961
With everything that he's about to face,
00:05:01.028 --> 00:05:02.162
He's about to face, you would think that if
00:05:02.229 --> 00:05:03.297
You would think that if anybody had an excuse
00:05:03.364 --> 00:05:04.698
Anybody had an excuse not to be at church,
00:05:04.765 --> 00:05:06.033
Not to be at church, it would be jesus.
00:05:06.100 --> 00:05:09.703
It would be jesus. he'd tell his disciples,
00:05:09.770 --> 00:05:10.537
He'd tell his disciples, "guys, there's just too many
00:05:10.604 --> 00:05:11.472
"guys, there's just too many things happening
00:05:11.538 --> 00:05:12.039
Things happening in the next few days
00:05:12.106 --> 00:05:12.606
In the next few days and weeks.
00:05:12.673 --> 00:05:13.107
And weeks. i'm sorry.
00:05:13.173 --> 00:05:13.640
I'm sorry. we're not going to--
00:05:13.707 --> 00:05:14.508
We're not going to-- we're not going to
00:05:14.575 --> 00:05:15.109
We're not going to the synagogue on sabbath;
00:05:15.175 --> 00:05:15.843
The synagogue on sabbath; not this week."
00:05:15.909 --> 00:05:17.778
Not this week." i mean, he'd be too busy
00:05:17.845 --> 00:05:18.712
I mean, he'd be too busy to touch the sick,
00:05:18.779 --> 00:05:19.480
To touch the sick, too busy to teach
00:05:19.546 --> 00:05:20.314
Too busy to teach the principles of the kingdom,
00:05:20.381 --> 00:05:21.715
The principles of the kingdom, too busy to tell the truth
00:05:21.782 --> 00:05:23.484
Too busy to tell the truth to those who want to receive
00:05:23.550 --> 00:05:25.152
To those who want to receive and those who need to listen.
00:05:25.219 --> 00:05:28.088
And those who need to listen. but here,
00:05:28.155 --> 00:05:28.589
But here, the text is very clear.
00:05:28.655 --> 00:05:29.623
The text is very clear. he was in the synagogue
00:05:29.690 --> 00:05:31.258
He was in the synagogue on the sabbath day.
00:05:31.325 --> 00:05:34.728
On the sabbath day. hebrews says,
00:05:34.795 --> 00:05:35.462
Hebrews says, "looking unto jesus,
00:05:35.529 --> 00:05:36.930
"looking unto jesus, the author and the finisher
00:05:36.997 --> 00:05:38.665
The author and the finisher of our faith."
00:05:38.732 --> 00:05:39.299
Of our faith." that means he is our example,
00:05:39.366 --> 00:05:41.402
That means he is our example, which means that what he did,
00:05:41.468 --> 00:05:43.404
Which means that what he did, we should do.
00:05:43.470 --> 00:05:45.105
We should do. [yes.]
00:05:45.172 --> 00:05:45.806
[yes.] [amen.]
00:05:45.873 --> 00:05:46.473
[amen.] so, if he honored
00:05:46.540 --> 00:05:47.341
So, if he honored the sabbath day,
00:05:47.408 --> 00:05:49.076
The sabbath day, if he remembered
00:05:49.143 --> 00:05:50.110
If he remembered the commandment of the lord,
00:05:50.177 --> 00:05:51.245
The commandment of the lord, "remember the sabbath
00:05:51.311 --> 00:05:52.312
"remember the sabbath and keep it holy,"
00:05:52.379 --> 00:05:53.347
And keep it holy," don't you think we should,
00:05:53.414 --> 00:05:54.214
Don't you think we should, too?
00:05:54.281 --> 00:05:54.948
Too? [amen.]
00:05:55.015 --> 00:05:55.949
[amen.] [amen.]
00:05:56.016 --> 00:05:56.984
[amen.] (applause)
00:05:57.050 --> 00:06:01.221
(applause) he didn't go to the synagogue
00:06:01.288 --> 00:06:02.589
He didn't go to the synagogue on the sabbath day
00:06:02.656 --> 00:06:03.457
On the sabbath day because they wrote him
00:06:03.524 --> 00:06:04.091
Because they wrote him a letter saying,
00:06:04.158 --> 00:06:04.725
A letter saying, "we're going to present you
00:06:04.792 --> 00:06:05.459
"we're going to present you with a special plaque as being
00:06:05.526 --> 00:06:06.727
With a special plaque as being the gentle shepherd
00:06:06.794 --> 00:06:07.428
The gentle shepherd of the month."
00:06:07.494 --> 00:06:08.962
Of the month." (laughter)
00:06:09.029 --> 00:06:09.963
(laughter) he went because he knew that
00:06:10.030 --> 00:06:11.331
He went because he knew that this is where god wanted
00:06:11.398 --> 00:06:12.766
This is where god wanted his children to be.
00:06:12.833 --> 00:06:15.068
His children to be. he didn't look at it like it
00:06:15.135 --> 00:06:16.003
He didn't look at it like it was a chore or an obligation;
00:06:16.069 --> 00:06:18.005
Was a chore or an obligation; something that he needed
00:06:18.071 --> 00:06:18.806
Something that he needed to check off.
00:06:18.872 --> 00:06:19.506
To check off. he didn't consider the time
00:06:19.573 --> 00:06:20.741
He didn't consider the time that he invested
00:06:20.808 --> 00:06:21.975
That he invested in the lord's house
00:06:22.042 --> 00:06:22.876
In the lord's house to be something that was
00:06:22.943 --> 00:06:24.044
To be something that was out of the ordinary.
00:06:24.111 --> 00:06:24.978
Out of the ordinary. luke 4 says,
00:06:25.045 --> 00:06:26.313
Luke 4 says, "it was his custom."
00:06:26.380 --> 00:06:30.117
"it was his custom." in the first week of his life,
00:06:30.184 --> 00:06:31.285
In the first week of his life, on the eighth day,
00:06:31.351 --> 00:06:32.486
On the eighth day, he's in the house of the lord.
00:06:32.553 --> 00:06:33.921
He's in the house of the lord. at the 13th birthday,
00:06:33.987 --> 00:06:35.322
At the 13th birthday, when his parents thought they
00:06:35.389 --> 00:06:36.356
When his parents thought they lost him,
00:06:36.423 --> 00:06:37.024
Lost him, where is he?
00:06:37.090 --> 00:06:37.724
Where is he? he's in the house of the lord.
00:06:37.791 --> 00:06:38.992
He's in the house of the lord. when he's 30 years old
00:06:39.059 --> 00:06:40.160
When he's 30 years old and he starts his ministry
00:06:40.227 --> 00:06:41.195
And he starts his ministry in nazareth,
00:06:41.261 --> 00:06:41.962
In nazareth, do you know where he is?
00:06:42.029 --> 00:06:43.130
Do you know where he is? the bible says,
00:06:43.197 --> 00:06:43.797
The bible says, "it was his custom that he was
00:06:43.864 --> 00:06:45.299
"it was his custom that he was in the synagogue
00:06:45.365 --> 00:06:46.333
In the synagogue on the sabbath day."
00:06:46.400 --> 00:06:48.535
On the sabbath day." do the math.
00:06:48.602 --> 00:06:49.369
Do the math. thirty-three years
00:06:49.436 --> 00:06:50.304
Thirty-three years times 52 sabbaths,
00:06:50.370 --> 00:06:51.772
Times 52 sabbaths, and he's been to church
00:06:51.839 --> 00:06:52.739
And he's been to church 1,716 times.
00:06:52.806 --> 00:06:57.444
1,716 times. how many times could he have
00:06:57.511 --> 00:06:58.545
How many times could he have come up with the excuse,
00:06:58.612 --> 00:06:59.379
Come up with the excuse, i know what they're going
00:06:59.446 --> 00:07:00.214
I know what they're going to talk about, me?
00:07:00.280 --> 00:07:02.516
To talk about, me? (laughter)
00:07:02.583 --> 00:07:05.519

I've seen it all. i've been there.
00:07:06.620 --> 00:07:07.221
I've been there. i've done that.
00:07:07.287 --> 00:07:07.821
I've done that. i've been to church every day
00:07:07.888 --> 00:07:08.722
I've been to church every day of my life.
00:07:08.789 --> 00:07:11.058
Of my life. i love the way that he
00:07:11.124 --> 00:07:11.959
I love the way that he expressed it to mary whenever
00:07:12.025 --> 00:07:13.660
Expressed it to mary whenever she found him in the temple
00:07:13.727 --> 00:07:15.128
She found him in the temple after she thought she lost
00:07:15.195 --> 00:07:16.430
After she thought she lost him.
00:07:16.497 --> 00:07:17.798
Him. if you've ever felt like
00:07:17.865 --> 00:07:18.632
If you've ever felt like a bad parent,
00:07:18.699 --> 00:07:19.666
A bad parent, allow that to relieve you.
00:07:19.733 --> 00:07:20.968
Allow that to relieve you. mary lost the son of god.
00:07:21.034 --> 00:07:23.770
Mary lost the son of god. (laughter)
00:07:23.837 --> 00:07:24.271
(laughter) she finds him and he says,
00:07:24.338 --> 00:07:26.440
She finds him and he says, "don't you know that i must be
00:07:26.507 --> 00:07:28.041
"don't you know that i must be about my father's business?"
00:07:28.108 --> 00:07:30.944
About my father's business?" hebrews 13,
00:07:31.011 --> 00:07:32.179
Hebrews 13, says that jesus christ
00:07:32.246 --> 00:07:33.413
Says that jesus christ is the same yesterday,
00:07:33.480 --> 00:07:35.048

He's in this room. why?
00:07:48.896 --> 00:07:49.263
Why? because he said,
00:07:49.329 --> 00:07:50.063
Because he said, "where two or three of you
00:07:50.130 --> 00:07:50.731
"where two or three of you are gathered,
00:07:50.797 --> 00:07:51.565

When he was in the temple on the lord's day as a child,
00:07:56.837 --> 00:07:58.572
On the lord's day as a child, he's here today and he's still

00:08:48.922 --> 00:08:51.658
Christ makes her straight. and there's a man who's so
00:08:51.725 --> 00:08:52.960
And there's a man who's so twisted in his thinking that
00:08:53.026 --> 00:08:54.995
Twisted in his thinking that he can't celebrate what god's
00:08:55.062 --> 00:08:56.563
He can't celebrate what god's doing because god didn't do it
00:08:56.630 --> 00:08:58.332
Doing because god didn't do it the way he wanted him
00:08:58.398 --> 00:08:59.132
The way he wanted him to do it.
00:08:59.199 --> 00:09:02.803
To do it. which one of those are you?
00:09:02.869 --> 00:09:06.139
Which one of those are you? the bible says,
00:09:06.206 --> 00:09:06.740
The bible says, in verse 11 of luke 13,
00:09:06.807 --> 00:09:08.609
In verse 11 of luke 13, "behold, a woman with a spirit
00:09:08.675 --> 00:09:12.512
"behold, a woman with a spirit of infirmity."
00:09:12.579 --> 00:09:16.750
Of infirmity." the thing that i appreciate
00:09:16.817 --> 00:09:17.851
The thing that i appreciate about this woman,
00:09:17.918 --> 00:09:19.620
About this woman, once we understand
00:09:19.686 --> 00:09:20.988
Once we understand the situation that she's in
00:09:21.054 --> 00:09:22.289
The situation that she's in and the condition that she
00:09:22.356 --> 00:09:23.156
And the condition that she faces,
00:09:23.223 --> 00:09:26.026
Faces, she can't move
00:09:26.093 --> 00:09:27.361
She can't move like other people can move.
00:09:27.427 --> 00:09:30.263
Like other people can move. normal people get to walk into
00:09:30.330 --> 00:09:31.331
Normal people get to walk into church and go,
00:09:31.398 --> 00:09:31.865
Church and go, "hi, how are you.
00:09:31.932 --> 00:09:34.067
"hi, how are you. good to see you.
00:09:34.134 --> 00:09:35.702
Good to see you. who was that guy?
00:09:35.769 --> 00:09:36.370
Who was that guy? i don't know.
00:09:36.436 --> 00:09:37.104
I don't know. but i--"
00:09:37.170 --> 00:09:38.038
But i--" (gestures as if pointing to
00:09:38.105 --> 00:09:39.139
(gestures as if pointing to the guy)
00:09:39.206 --> 00:09:40.007
The guy) (laughter)
00:09:40.073 --> 00:09:41.375
(laughter) not this woman.
00:09:41.441 --> 00:09:43.744
Not this woman. eighteen years and now
00:09:43.810 --> 00:09:45.012
Eighteen years and now she's bent over double.
00:09:45.078 --> 00:09:47.481
She's bent over double. luke says she can't even lift
00:09:47.547 --> 00:09:48.515
Luke says she can't even lift up her head,
00:09:48.582 --> 00:09:50.384
Up her head, see who's talking to her.
00:09:50.450 --> 00:09:52.986
See who's talking to her. she can't look forward to find
00:09:53.053 --> 00:09:54.254
She can't look forward to find out where she's going.
00:09:54.321 --> 00:09:55.322
Out where she's going. she just kind of shuffles
00:09:55.389 --> 00:09:56.256
She just kind of shuffles along because she doesn't move
00:09:56.323 --> 00:09:58.191
Along because she doesn't move like other people move.
00:09:58.258 --> 00:10:00.661
Like other people move. and she can't see like other
00:10:00.727 --> 00:10:02.062
And she can't see like other people see.
00:10:02.129 --> 00:10:04.931
People see. when the preacher says,
00:10:04.998 --> 00:10:05.699
When the preacher says, "stand up,"
00:10:05.766 --> 00:10:06.366
"stand up," it's harder for her to get up
00:10:06.433 --> 00:10:07.501
It's harder for her to get up and when he says, "sit down,"
00:10:07.567 --> 00:10:08.368
And when he says, "sit down," it takes longer for her to get
00:10:08.435 --> 00:10:09.269
It takes longer for her to get down.
00:10:09.336 --> 00:10:10.837
Down. i mean, there's at least
00:10:10.904 --> 00:10:12.072
I mean, there's at least a dozen reasons you can
00:10:12.139 --> 00:10:13.140
A dozen reasons you can think of off the top of
00:10:13.206 --> 00:10:14.341
Think of off the top of your head why she would be
00:10:14.408 --> 00:10:16.043
Your head why she would be the type of person to say,
00:10:16.109 --> 00:10:16.943
The type of person to say, "you know what,
00:10:17.010 --> 00:10:17.444
"you know what, it's just harder than it needs
00:10:17.511 --> 00:10:18.712
It's just harder than it needs to be for me to go to church.
00:10:18.779 --> 00:10:19.880
To be for me to go to church. i'm-- i--
00:10:19.946 --> 00:10:20.681
I'm-- i-- i'm going to sit this one out.
00:10:20.747 --> 00:10:21.448
I'm going to sit this one out. i'm going to stay at home.
00:10:21.515 --> 00:10:22.349
I'm going to stay at home. i'm going to make sure that--
00:10:22.416 --> 00:10:23.450
I'm going to make sure that-- that-- that, you know,
00:10:23.517 --> 00:10:24.985
That-- that, you know, everything's ready whenever
00:10:25.052 --> 00:10:25.886
Everything's ready whenever y'all get back.
00:10:25.952 --> 00:10:26.586
Y'all get back. just go on.
00:10:26.653 --> 00:10:27.421
Just go on. tell me how it goes."
00:10:27.487 --> 00:10:30.057
Tell me how it goes." but in spite of how hard it is
00:10:30.123 --> 00:10:31.191
But in spite of how hard it is for her to move,
00:10:31.258 --> 00:10:33.360
For her to move, in spite of everything she's
00:10:33.427 --> 00:10:34.327
In spite of everything she's going through,
00:10:34.394 --> 00:10:36.396
Going through, the bible says that when
00:10:36.463 --> 00:10:37.397
The bible says that when the lord is in the synagogue
00:10:37.464 --> 00:10:38.832
The lord is in the synagogue on the sabbath day,
00:10:38.899 --> 00:10:39.833
On the sabbath day, there's a woman who's had
00:10:39.900 --> 00:10:40.834
There's a woman who's had a spirit of infirmity for
00:10:40.901 --> 00:10:42.035
A spirit of infirmity for 18 years and she's there, too.
00:10:42.102 --> 00:10:44.838
18 years and she's there, too. [that's right.]
00:10:44.905 --> 00:10:45.639
[that's right.] [yes.]
00:10:45.706 --> 00:10:46.206
[yes.] it took her longer to get
00:10:46.273 --> 00:10:47.207
It took her longer to get there than it took the guy
00:10:47.274 --> 00:10:48.408
There than it took the guy in front of her.
00:10:48.475 --> 00:10:49.242
In front of her. and it took more work than
00:10:49.309 --> 00:10:50.343
And it took more work than the gal that was coming
00:10:50.410 --> 00:10:51.144
The gal that was coming behind her.
00:10:51.211 --> 00:10:51.978
Behind her. but as she was coming,
00:10:52.045 --> 00:10:52.979
But as she was coming, she was thinking
00:10:53.046 --> 00:10:53.613
She was thinking maybe today's the day.
00:10:53.680 --> 00:10:55.048
Maybe today's the day. [yeah.]
00:10:55.115 --> 00:10:55.682
[yeah.] maybe today's the day.
00:10:55.749 --> 00:10:56.683
Maybe today's the day. i know i've been carrying
00:10:56.750 --> 00:10:57.651
I know i've been carrying this thing that i shouldn't be
00:10:57.718 --> 00:10:58.785
This thing that i shouldn't be carrying for so long.
00:10:58.852 --> 00:10:59.853
Carrying for so long. but maybe if i can just get
00:10:59.920 --> 00:11:01.321
But maybe if i can just get in the presence of the lord,
00:11:01.388 --> 00:11:02.656
In the presence of the lord, in his house,
00:11:02.723 --> 00:11:03.724
In his house, on his day,
00:11:03.790 --> 00:11:04.925
On his day, maybe today is the day
00:11:04.991 --> 00:11:06.426
Maybe today is the day that the lord has made
00:11:06.493 --> 00:11:07.794
That the lord has made and i'm going to get to
00:11:07.861 --> 00:11:08.428
And i'm going to get to rejoice and be made glad
00:11:08.495 --> 00:11:10.430
Rejoice and be made glad in it.
00:11:10.497 --> 00:11:10.964
In it. the message is this,
00:11:11.031 --> 00:11:11.832
The message is this, child of god.
00:11:11.898 --> 00:11:12.599
Child of god. it may hurt more than you want
00:11:12.666 --> 00:11:13.867
It may hurt more than you want it to hurt,
00:11:13.934 --> 00:11:14.735
It to hurt, and it may take longer than
00:11:14.801 --> 00:11:15.902
And it may take longer than you want it to take,
00:11:15.969 --> 00:11:17.003
You want it to take, and you may have to go through
00:11:17.070 --> 00:11:18.105
And you may have to go through things you don't think you
00:11:18.171 --> 00:11:19.039
Things you don't think you should go through.
00:11:19.106 --> 00:11:19.706
Should go through. but whatever it is,
00:11:19.773 --> 00:11:20.874
But whatever it is, don't stop making your way
00:11:20.941 --> 00:11:22.375
Don't stop making your way to jesus because when you get
00:11:22.442 --> 00:11:24.144
To jesus because when you get there,
00:11:24.211 --> 00:11:24.711
There, it's going to be worth it.
00:11:24.778 --> 00:11:26.179
It's going to be worth it. (applause)
00:11:26.246 --> 00:11:26.780
(applause) don't stop coming to church.
00:11:26.847 --> 00:11:27.948
Don't stop coming to church. don't stop praying
00:11:28.014 --> 00:11:28.949
Don't stop praying your prayer.
00:11:29.015 --> 00:11:29.783
Your prayer. don't stop waiting on the lord
00:11:29.850 --> 00:11:31.451
Don't stop waiting on the lord because when he touches you,
00:11:31.518 --> 00:11:33.420
Because when he touches you, he's going to straighten it
00:11:33.487 --> 00:11:34.521
He's going to straighten it out.
00:11:34.588 --> 00:11:35.122
Out. he's going to set you free.
00:11:35.188 --> 00:11:36.790
He's going to set you free. when he touches you,
00:11:36.857 --> 00:11:38.325
When he touches you, everything that satan did
00:11:38.391 --> 00:11:39.826
Everything that satan did to you has to stop.
00:11:39.893 --> 00:11:41.495
To you has to stop. the bible says satan had her
00:11:41.561 --> 00:11:43.029
The bible says satan had her bound for 18 years.
00:11:43.096 --> 00:11:44.765
Bound for 18 years. but when jesus touched her,
00:11:44.831 --> 00:11:46.566
But when jesus touched her, immediately satan had to
00:11:46.633 --> 00:11:48.101
Immediately satan had to let go.
00:11:48.168 --> 00:11:48.902
Let go. he couldn't hold her
00:11:48.969 --> 00:11:49.836
He couldn't hold her any longer because
00:11:49.903 --> 00:11:51.071
Any longer because something more powerful,
00:11:51.138 --> 00:11:52.572
Something more powerful, something greater,
00:11:52.639 --> 00:11:53.940
Something greater, something stronger,
00:11:54.007 --> 00:11:55.408
Something stronger, the king of heaven and earth
00:11:55.475 --> 00:11:56.810
The king of heaven and earth showed up and he's higher than
00:11:56.877 --> 00:11:58.779
Showed up and he's higher than the highest.
00:11:58.845 --> 00:11:59.646
The highest. and he's greater than
00:11:59.713 --> 00:12:00.814
And he's greater than the greatest.
00:12:00.881 --> 00:12:01.715
The greatest. and his name is above
00:12:01.782 --> 00:12:03.016
And his name is above every name.
00:12:03.083 --> 00:12:03.950
Every name. so, when jesus touched her,
00:12:04.017 --> 00:12:05.786
So, when jesus touched her, hell had to step aside
00:12:05.852 --> 00:12:07.387
Hell had to step aside and say, she's not ours
00:12:07.454 --> 00:12:08.655
And say, she's not ours anymore.
00:12:08.722 --> 00:12:09.489
Anymore. she's been free.
00:12:09.556 --> 00:12:11.124
She's been free. because whom the son sets free
00:12:11.191 --> 00:12:13.293
Because whom the son sets free is free indeed!
00:12:13.360 --> 00:12:15.228
Is free indeed! give the lord a handclap
00:12:15.295 --> 00:12:16.797
Give the lord a handclap of praise!
00:12:16.863 --> 00:12:18.565
Of praise! (applause)
00:12:18.632 --> 00:12:20.167
It's more than a word.
00:12:20.233 --> 00:12:21.268
It's more than a word. it can move mountains
00:12:21.334 --> 00:12:22.269
It can move mountains of guilt and shame.
00:12:22.335 --> 00:12:23.403
Of guilt and shame. come the troubled
00:12:23.470 --> 00:12:24.304
Come the troubled sea of your soul.
00:12:24.371 --> 00:12:25.472
Sea of your soul. and bring purpose
00:12:25.539 --> 00:12:26.273
And bring purpose to a life that feels lost.
00:12:26.339 --> 00:12:27.908
To a life that feels lost. have you ever felt
00:12:27.974 --> 00:12:28.542
Have you ever felt weighed down by past mistakes
00:12:28.608 --> 00:12:30.110
Weighed down by past mistakes or overwhelmed by shame?
00:12:30.177 --> 00:12:31.511
Or overwhelmed by shame? grace is your path to freedom.
00:12:31.578 --> 00:12:33.246
Grace is your path to freedom. ask god for his forgiveness
00:12:33.313 --> 00:12:34.681
Ask god for his forgiveness and discover the true
00:12:34.748 --> 00:12:35.715
And discover the true meaning of amazing grace.
00:12:35.782 --> 00:12:37.651
Meaning of amazing grace. forgiveness is powerful
00:12:37.717 --> 00:12:39.085
Forgiveness is powerful not just from god,
00:12:39.152 --> 00:12:40.153
Not just from god, but also forgiving yourself.
00:12:40.220 --> 00:12:41.788
But also forgiving yourself. live the joy filled life
00:12:41.855 --> 00:12:43.056

This woman had suffered
00:13:18.725 --> 00:13:20.193
This woman had suffered so long and nobody ever
00:13:20.260 --> 00:13:22.963
So long and nobody ever thought they'd see her smile
00:13:23.029 --> 00:13:24.598
Thought they'd see her smile again.
00:13:24.664 --> 00:13:24.965
Again. but now,
00:13:25.031 --> 00:13:25.465
But now, sorrow has been turned into
00:13:25.532 --> 00:13:26.733
Sorrow has been turned into dancing.
00:13:26.800 --> 00:13:27.767
Dancing. [amen.]

And suddenly, she's met by the opposition.
00:13:30.804 --> 00:13:35.642
She's met by the opposition. just accept this reality:
00:13:35.709 --> 00:13:37.077
Just accept this reality: there will always be someone
00:13:37.143 --> 00:13:38.445
There will always be someone in opposition to what god
00:13:38.511 --> 00:13:39.946
In opposition to what god is doing in your life.
00:13:40.013 --> 00:13:41.648
Is doing in your life. [that's right.]
00:13:41.715 --> 00:13:42.749
[that's right.] why are they in opposition?
00:13:42.816 --> 00:13:44.651
Why are they in opposition? because they prefer you
00:13:44.718 --> 00:13:46.486
Because they prefer you in this position.
00:13:46.553 --> 00:13:48.355
In this position. [that's right.]
00:13:48.421 --> 00:13:49.656
[that's right.] why would they want you
00:13:49.723 --> 00:13:50.457
Why would they want you like that?
00:13:50.523 --> 00:13:51.258
Like that? because as long as you're
00:13:51.324 --> 00:13:52.392
Because as long as you're down there,
00:13:52.459 --> 00:13:53.093
Down there, they get to look down at you.
00:13:53.159 --> 00:13:55.028
They get to look down at you. [that's right.]
00:13:55.095 --> 00:13:57.397
[that's right.] and they walk through life
00:13:57.464 --> 00:13:58.231
And they walk through life telling themselves,
00:13:58.298 --> 00:13:58.832
Telling themselves, "well, at least i ain't like
00:13:58.899 --> 00:13:59.599
"well, at least i ain't like that guy."
00:13:59.666 --> 00:14:02.435
That guy." but the second god starts to
00:14:02.502 --> 00:14:03.503
But the second god starts to straighten you out,
00:14:03.570 --> 00:14:06.373
Straighten you out, suddenly they say,
00:14:06.439 --> 00:14:07.040
Suddenly they say, "hey, i don't like this
00:14:07.107 --> 00:14:10.377
"hey, i don't like this because now it means i've got
00:14:10.443 --> 00:14:11.311
Because now it means i've got to change.
00:14:11.378 --> 00:14:12.579
To change. [that's right.]
00:14:12.646 --> 00:14:15.081
[that's right.] so, here's the ruler
00:14:15.148 --> 00:14:16.049
So, here's the ruler of the synagogue.
00:14:16.116 --> 00:14:19.152
Of the synagogue. and he gets involved
00:14:19.219 --> 00:14:19.719
And he gets involved in the conversation.
00:14:19.786 --> 00:14:20.453
In the conversation. he says, "this is not right!"
00:14:20.520 --> 00:14:24.157
He says, "this is not right!" he says, "you're doing work."
00:14:24.224 --> 00:14:25.926
He says, "you're doing work." he calls her getting

He calls her getting straight work?
00:14:28.561 --> 00:14:31.131
Straight work? brother,
00:14:31.197 --> 00:14:31.731
Brother, it took work for her to get
00:14:31.798 --> 00:14:32.933
It took work for her to get into the room.
00:14:32.999 --> 00:14:34.968
Into the room. straightening up was
00:14:35.035 --> 00:14:35.902
Straightening up was the easy part.
00:14:35.969 --> 00:14:36.970
The easy part. [yes.]
00:14:37.037 --> 00:14:37.570
[yes.] [that's right.]
00:14:37.637 --> 00:14:39.339

00:14:39.406 --> 00:14:41.408
He said, "you touched her;" that's work.
00:14:41.474 --> 00:14:43.109
That's work. he said, "she stood up;"

He said, "she stood up;" that's work.
00:14:44.644 --> 00:14:45.478
That's work. this should not be so.

This should not be so. you ought to come on the other

You ought to come on the other six days of the week.

Six days of the week. but this is the sabbath day
00:14:49.749 --> 00:14:51.084

00:14:51.151 --> 00:14:54.621
And you don't need to work. and i hate to break

00:14:55.488 --> 00:14:57.057
Your bubble but jesus did not speak the king's english.
00:14:57.123 --> 00:14:58.792

Somebody who changed my eternity and it's not just
00:15:13.206 --> 00:15:14.908

Now, here's where we get to be the exception to the rule.
00:18:37.143 --> 00:18:40.613
The exception to the rule. the bible says,

In ephesians 2, that we were gentiles.
00:18:44.083 --> 00:18:46.352

00:18:47.387 --> 00:18:50.123
To abraham. we didn't get the opportunity
00:18:50.190 --> 00:18:51.324
We didn't get the opportunity to be blessed and for god's
00:18:51.391 --> 00:18:53.860
To be blessed and for god's blessing to be upon us,
00:18:53.927 --> 00:18:55.261
Blessing to be upon us, and for god's provision to be
00:18:55.328 --> 00:18:56.396
And for god's provision to be that those that cursed us

The rest of the world would be blessed.
00:19:00.533 --> 00:19:01.034
Would be blessed. we were cut out of that deal
00:19:01.100 --> 00:19:02.335
We were cut out of that deal because we didn't belong to

00:19:03.369 --> 00:19:05.338
Abraham, isaac and jacob. [amen.]

In that covenant that makes an exception and you've got
00:19:08.808 --> 00:19:10.310
An exception and you've got to follow god's hand
00:19:10.376 --> 00:19:11.711
To follow god's hand to understand how
00:19:11.778 --> 00:19:12.712
To understand how the exception applies to you.
00:19:12.779 --> 00:19:16.416
