- Pastor matt hagee: in
- 00:00:17.110 --> 00:00:17.610
- Pastor matt hagee: in hebrews 11,
- 00:00:17.677 --> 00:00:20.280
- Hebrews 11, we have what has been called
- 00:00:20.346 --> 00:00:21.281
- We have what has been called the hall of fame of faith
- 00:00:21.347 --> 00:00:23.716
- The hall of fame of faith and the singular thread
- 00:00:23.783 --> 00:00:24.784
- And the singular thread that carries through each
- 00:00:24.851 --> 00:00:25.819
- That carries through each and every life that is listed
- 00:00:25.885 --> 00:00:27.353
- And every life that is listed there is that what they did,
- 00:00:27.420 --> 00:00:29.456
- There is that what they did, they did in one way, by faith.
- 00:00:29.522 --> 00:00:34.194
- They did in one way, by faith. everything that you will
- 00:00:34.260 --> 00:00:34.861
- Everything that you will ever do for god and that god
- 00:00:34.928 --> 00:00:36.362
- Ever do for god and that god will ever do with you
- 00:00:36.429 --> 00:00:38.331
- Will ever do with you will be done by faith.
- 00:00:38.398 --> 00:00:41.434
- Will be done by faith. it doesn't matter who has
- 00:00:41.501 --> 00:00:42.569
- It doesn't matter who has something to say against you.
- 00:00:42.635 --> 00:00:44.971
- Something to say against you. if you have faith in god
- 00:00:45.038 --> 00:00:46.439
- If you have faith in god and if he is for you,
- 00:00:46.506 --> 00:00:47.907
- And if he is for you, who can be against you?
- 00:00:47.974 --> 00:00:50.643
- Who can be against you? when we get to hebrews 11:32,
- 00:00:50.710 --> 00:00:54.514
- When we get to hebrews 11:32, the author of hebrews
- 00:00:54.581 --> 00:00:55.482
- The author of hebrews is writing to a predominantly
- 00:00:55.548 --> 00:00:58.118
- Is writing to a predominantly jewish audience.
- 00:00:58.184 --> 00:00:58.918
- Jewish audience. they understand jewish history.
- 00:00:58.985 --> 00:01:01.087
- They understand jewish history. they've been taught
- 00:01:01.154 --> 00:01:02.322
- They've been taught the stories of the past.
- 00:01:02.388 --> 00:01:04.524
- The stories of the past. and so, rather than get
- 00:01:04.591 --> 00:01:05.325
- And so, rather than get into the details of each
- 00:01:05.391 --> 00:01:06.526
- Into the details of each and every individual
- 00:01:06.593 --> 00:01:07.594
- And every individual and what they accomplished,
- 00:01:07.660 --> 00:01:08.895
- And what they accomplished, he just puts them all
- 00:01:08.962 --> 00:01:10.263
- He just puts them all into a group and says,
- 00:01:10.330 --> 00:01:11.197
- Into a group and says, "what more should i say
- 00:01:11.264 --> 00:01:13.066
- "what more should i say because time would fail me.
- 00:01:13.133 --> 00:01:14.434
- Because time would fail me. if i told every story,
- 00:01:14.501 --> 00:01:15.869
- If i told every story, this chapter would never end,"
- 00:01:15.935 --> 00:01:17.270
- This chapter would never end," is what he's saying.
- 00:01:17.337 --> 00:01:19.072
- Is what he's saying. and he writes about
- 00:01:19.139 --> 00:01:19.939
- And he writes about individuals like gideon,
- 00:01:20.006 --> 00:01:22.375
- Individuals like gideon, and barak, and samson,
- 00:01:22.442 --> 00:01:24.477
- And barak, and samson, and jephthah, and david,
- 00:01:24.544 --> 00:01:26.846
- And jephthah, and david, and samuel, and the prophets.
- 00:01:26.913 --> 00:01:29.249
- And samuel, and the prophets. he literally goes from
- 00:01:29.315 --> 00:01:30.483
- He literally goes from the book of judges
- 00:01:30.550 --> 00:01:31.451
- The book of judges all the way through
- 00:01:31.518 --> 00:01:33.052
- All the way through the end of the old testament
- 00:01:33.119 --> 00:01:34.721
- The end of the old testament talking about how these
- 00:01:34.787 --> 00:01:36.089
- Talking about how these individuals were able to do
- 00:01:36.156 --> 00:01:37.757
- Individuals were able to do great things by faith.
- 00:01:37.824 --> 00:01:41.661
- Great things by faith. but when you take
- 00:01:41.728 --> 00:01:42.195
- But when you take a closer look at the names
- 00:01:42.262 --> 00:01:43.429
- A closer look at the names that he's listed here,
- 00:01:43.496 --> 00:01:44.330
- That he's listed here, what you discover is that
- 00:01:44.397 --> 00:01:45.899
- What you discover is that they weren't always warriors
- 00:01:45.965 --> 00:01:47.467
- They weren't always warriors and winners who lived by faith.
- 00:01:47.534 --> 00:01:49.569
- And winners who lived by faith. when we meet them,
- 00:01:49.636 --> 00:01:50.803
- When we meet them, some of them were wimps
- 00:01:50.870 --> 00:01:52.472
- Some of them were wimps and some of them were whiners.
- 00:01:52.539 --> 00:01:56.843
- And some of them were whiners. and the good news is,
- 00:01:56.910 --> 00:01:58.811
- And the good news is, god gave them the strength
- 00:01:58.878 --> 00:02:00.680
- God gave them the strength to overcome because of what
- 00:02:00.747 --> 00:02:02.849
- To overcome because of what they did with their faith.
- 00:02:02.916 --> 00:02:05.385
- They did with their faith. rather than look
- 00:02:05.451 --> 00:02:05.985
- Rather than look at the circumstances,
- 00:02:06.052 --> 00:02:07.053
- At the circumstances, they put their faith in a god
- 00:02:07.120 --> 00:02:08.788
- They put their faith in a god who gave them the ability
- 00:02:08.855 --> 00:02:10.523
- Who gave them the ability to overcome circumstance.
- 00:02:10.590 --> 00:02:12.692
- To overcome circumstance. what you need to know as
- 00:02:12.759 --> 00:02:13.626
- What you need to know as a child of god in the world
- 00:02:13.693 --> 00:02:15.261
- A child of god in the world that we live in,
- 00:02:15.328 --> 00:02:16.162
- That we live in, is that you are not here to
- 00:02:16.229 --> 00:02:17.163
- Is that you are not here to live beneath the circumstance,
- 00:02:17.230 --> 00:02:19.465
- Live beneath the circumstance, you are here to live above
- 00:02:19.532 --> 00:02:20.733
- You are here to live above the circumstance by the power
- 00:02:20.800 --> 00:02:22.335
- The circumstance by the power of the living god
- 00:02:22.402 --> 00:02:23.169
- Of the living god that is in you.
- 00:02:23.236 --> 00:02:26.206
- That is in you. every warrior and every winner
- 00:02:26.272 --> 00:02:29.042
- Every warrior and every winner comes to the place of their
- 00:02:29.108 --> 00:02:30.777
- Comes to the place of their victory through god.
- 00:02:30.843 --> 00:02:33.279
- Victory through god. the bible says,
- 00:02:33.346 --> 00:02:33.913
- The bible says, "our faith is the victory
- 00:02:33.980 --> 00:02:36.249
- "our faith is the victory that overcomes the world."
- 00:02:36.316 --> 00:02:39.886
- That overcomes the world." whenever the author of hebrews
- 00:02:39.953 --> 00:02:40.954
- Whenever the author of hebrews is talking about gideon,
- 00:02:41.020 --> 00:02:42.422
- Is talking about gideon, and barak, and samson,
- 00:02:42.488 --> 00:02:44.824
- And barak, and samson, he's talking about a time
- 00:02:44.891 --> 00:02:45.892
- He's talking about a time in which the entire
- 00:02:45.959 --> 00:02:47.193
- In which the entire nation of israel was living
- 00:02:47.260 --> 00:02:48.861
- Nation of israel was living in a vicious cycle.
- 00:02:48.928 --> 00:02:50.396
- In a vicious cycle. say it this way,
- 00:02:50.463 --> 00:02:51.497
- Say it this way, they were continually
- 00:02:51.564 --> 00:02:52.765
- They were continually walking around digging a rut.
- 00:02:52.832 --> 00:02:56.336
- Walking around digging a rut. when we meet gideon,
- 00:02:56.402 --> 00:02:57.303
- When we meet gideon, for example,
- 00:02:57.370 --> 00:02:59.305
- For example, gideon is not a warrior
- 00:02:59.372 --> 00:03:00.506
- Gideon is not a warrior and gideon is not a winner,
- 00:03:00.573 --> 00:03:02.108
- And gideon is not a winner, gideon is a whiner.
- 00:03:02.175 --> 00:03:05.111
- Gideon is a whiner. he's an absolute whiner.
- 00:03:05.178 --> 00:03:06.946
- He's an absolute whiner. the angel of the lord comes
- 00:03:07.013 --> 00:03:08.114
- The angel of the lord comes to him and he's threshing wheat
- 00:03:08.181 --> 00:03:11.017
- To him and he's threshing wheat in a winepress.
- 00:03:11.084 --> 00:03:12.852
- In a winepress. you do not need a phd
- 00:03:12.919 --> 00:03:14.020
- You do not need a phd in agriculture to know
- 00:03:14.087 --> 00:03:15.088
- In agriculture to know he's doing the wrong thing
- 00:03:15.154 --> 00:03:16.389
- He's doing the wrong thing with the wrong equipment.
- 00:03:16.456 --> 00:03:18.725
- With the wrong equipment. but the reason he's threshing
- 00:03:18.791 --> 00:03:19.826
- But the reason he's threshing wheat in a winepress is because
- 00:03:19.892 --> 00:03:21.761
- Wheat in a winepress is because he doesn't want his enemies
- 00:03:21.828 --> 00:03:22.895
- He doesn't want his enemies to see that he has food
- 00:03:22.962 --> 00:03:24.964
- To see that he has food because they're gonna come
- 00:03:25.031 --> 00:03:25.865
- Because they're gonna come and steal the food.
- 00:03:25.932 --> 00:03:27.433
- And steal the food. and when the angel of the lord
- 00:03:27.500 --> 00:03:28.401
- And when the angel of the lord comes to see him
- 00:03:28.468 --> 00:03:29.202
- Comes to see him in the book of judges,
- 00:03:29.269 --> 00:03:30.436
- In the book of judges, the first thing that
- 00:03:30.503 --> 00:03:31.070
- The first thing that the angel of the lord says
- 00:03:31.137 --> 00:03:32.171
- The angel of the lord says to him is rather humorous
- 00:03:32.238 --> 00:03:33.539
- To him is rather humorous because what he says is,
- 00:03:33.606 --> 00:03:35.174
- Because what he says is, "behold mighty man of valor."
- 00:03:35.241 --> 00:03:39.679
- "behold mighty man of valor." the angel doesn't show up
- 00:03:39.746 --> 00:03:40.613
- The angel doesn't show up and say, "hey, wimp.
- 00:03:40.680 --> 00:03:41.247
- And say, "hey, wimp. what are you doing
- 00:03:41.314 --> 00:03:41.981
- What are you doing in the winepress?"
- 00:03:42.048 --> 00:03:42.849
- [laughter]
- 00:03:43.283 --> 00:03:44.217
- And rather than consider
- 00:03:46.085 --> 00:03:47.720
- And rather than consider the encounter that he's having
- 00:03:47.787 --> 00:03:48.888
- The encounter that he's having with a celestial being sent
- 00:03:48.955 --> 00:03:50.390
- With a celestial being sent from heaven with a message,
- 00:03:50.456 --> 00:03:51.858
- From heaven with a message, do you know what gideon does
- 00:03:51.924 --> 00:03:53.326
- Do you know what gideon does whenever the presence of god
- 00:03:53.393 --> 00:03:54.861
- Whenever the presence of god is standing in front of him?
- 00:03:54.927 --> 00:03:57.130

- "behold, the lord is with you." and rather than
- 00:04:04.404 --> 00:04:05.104
- And rather than shout hallelujah, he says,
- 00:04:05.171 --> 00:04:07.440
- Shout hallelujah, he says, "well, if god is with me,
- 00:04:07.507 --> 00:04:09.075
- "well, if god is with me, why am i in this circumstance?"
- 00:04:09.142 --> 00:04:15.448
- Why am i in this circumstance?" and before we pick up the rocks
- 00:04:15.515 --> 00:04:17.417
- And before we pick up the rocks and start throwing them
- 00:04:17.483 --> 00:04:18.384
- And start throwing them at gideon for being a whiner,
- 00:04:18.451 --> 00:04:19.886

- And rather than shout
- 00:04:39.706 --> 00:04:40.306
- And rather than shout hallelujah, we say,
- 00:04:40.373 --> 00:04:41.341
- Hallelujah, we say, "well, if he's with me,
- 00:04:41.407 --> 00:04:42.642
- "well, if he's with me, why am i still struggling?"
- 00:04:42.709 --> 00:04:46.646

- A part of life. adversity is something
- 00:04:51.084 --> 00:04:52.518

- Stop looking at adversity as something that is against you
- 00:05:02.161 --> 00:05:04.063
- As something that is against you and start looking as
- 00:05:04.130 --> 00:05:05.231
- And start looking as an opportunity that god has
- 00:05:05.298 --> 00:05:06.666
- An opportunity that god has given you to give you
- 00:05:06.733 --> 00:05:07.867
- Given you to give you the strength that you need

- 00:05:24.684 --> 00:05:25.852
- And when he puts his faith in a god who cannot fail,
- 00:05:25.918 --> 00:05:27.520
- In a god who cannot fail, gideon goes from a whiner into
- 00:05:27.587 --> 00:05:29.455
- Gideon goes from a whiner into a warrior who faces adversity.
- 00:05:29.522 --> 00:05:31.491
- A warrior who faces adversity. and today, he's listed
- 00:05:31.557 --> 00:05:32.692
- And today, he's listed on the hall of fame
- 00:05:32.759 --> 00:05:34.260
- On the hall of fame because he went from
- 00:05:34.327 --> 00:05:35.094
- Because he went from a warrior to a winner.
- 00:05:35.161 --> 00:05:37.797
- A warrior to a winner. whenever you give god
- 00:05:37.864 --> 00:05:38.798
- Whenever you give god the opportunity to prove
- 00:05:38.865 --> 00:05:40.032
- The opportunity to prove himself to you,
- 00:05:40.099 --> 00:05:41.033
- Himself to you, you need to know,
- 00:05:41.100 --> 00:05:42.001
- You need to know, god will not fail you.
- 00:05:42.068 --> 00:05:45.905
- God will not fail you. all he's looking for are those
- 00:05:45.972 --> 00:05:47.807
- All he's looking for are those who are courageous enough to be
- 00:05:47.874 --> 00:05:49.609
- Who are courageous enough to be the mindset of a warrior.
- 00:05:49.675 --> 00:05:51.444
- The mindset of a warrior. to say, "if there's adversity,
- 00:05:51.511 --> 00:05:52.879
- To say, "if there's adversity, i'll face it.
- 00:05:52.945 --> 00:05:53.813
- I'll face it. if there's a problem,
- 00:05:53.880 --> 00:05:54.714
- If there's a problem, here am i.
- 00:05:54.781 --> 00:05:55.548
- Here am i. send me."
- 00:05:55.615 --> 00:05:56.516
- Send me." because if god is with you,
- 00:05:56.582 --> 00:05:58.284
- Because if god is with you, nothing can stand against you
- 00:05:58.351 --> 00:06:00.253
- Nothing can stand against you and you cannot be defeated.
- 00:06:00.319 --> 00:06:02.054
- [applause]
- 00:06:02.388 --> 00:06:07.593
- So, how did this
- 00:06:08.094 --> 00:06:08.628
- So, how did this generation of israel
- 00:06:08.694 --> 00:06:09.796
- Generation of israel get into this rut?
- 00:06:09.862 --> 00:06:12.598
- Get into this rut? in judges 2:10, we gain some
- 00:06:12.665 --> 00:06:15.902
- In judges 2:10, we gain some insight because in judges 2:10,
- 00:06:15.968 --> 00:06:18.271
- Insight because in judges 2:10, it tells us that now that
- 00:06:18.337 --> 00:06:19.539
- It tells us that now that this generation had been
- 00:06:19.605 --> 00:06:21.007
- This generation had been gathered to their fathers,
- 00:06:21.073 --> 00:06:22.775
- Gathered to their fathers, what generation
- 00:06:22.842 --> 00:06:23.409
- What generation is he speaking of?
- 00:06:23.476 --> 00:06:24.310
- Is he speaking of? he's talking about
- 00:06:24.377 --> 00:06:24.944
- He's talking about the generation
- 00:06:25.011 --> 00:06:25.711
- The generation of joshua and caleb.
- 00:06:25.778 --> 00:06:26.879
- Of joshua and caleb. those who walked out of egypt
- 00:06:26.946 --> 00:06:28.981
- Those who walked out of egypt and through the wilderness.
- 00:06:29.048 --> 00:06:30.216
- And through the wilderness. those who wondered in
- 00:06:30.283 --> 00:06:31.617
- Those who wondered in the wilderness and then came
- 00:06:31.684 --> 00:06:32.985
- The wilderness and then came to the jordan and saw
- 00:06:33.052 --> 00:06:34.220
- To the jordan and saw the walls of jericho fall.
- 00:06:34.287 --> 00:06:35.655
- The walls of jericho fall. when that generation
- 00:06:35.721 --> 00:06:36.823
- When that generation had passed away,
- 00:06:36.889 --> 00:06:38.825
- Had passed away, the bible says there was
- 00:06:38.891 --> 00:06:39.692
- The bible says there was another generation that came
- 00:06:39.759 --> 00:06:41.794
- Another generation that came after them that did not know
- 00:06:41.861 --> 00:06:43.563
- After them that did not know the lord nor the work which
- 00:06:43.629 --> 00:06:45.765
- The lord nor the work which he had done for israel.
- 00:06:45.832 --> 00:06:48.134
- He had done for israel. the problem was,
- 00:06:48.201 --> 00:06:49.402
- The problem was, the next generation that came
- 00:06:49.469 --> 00:06:50.870
- The next generation that came after joshua and caleb,
- 00:06:50.937 --> 00:06:52.738
- After joshua and caleb, they stopped living
- 00:06:52.805 --> 00:06:53.840
- They stopped living as if god existed.
- 00:06:53.906 --> 00:06:56.476
- As if god existed. how much of this same behavior
- 00:06:56.542 --> 00:06:57.777
- How much of this same behavior do you see in the world
- 00:06:57.844 --> 00:06:58.744
- Do you see in the world we live in today?
- 00:06:58.811 --> 00:07:00.480
- We live in today? we live in a land
- 00:07:00.546 --> 00:07:01.447
- We live in a land that is blessed by god.
- 00:07:01.514 --> 00:07:03.382
- That is blessed by god. there's evidence of it
- 00:07:03.449 --> 00:07:04.784
- There's evidence of it in every chapter of our history,
- 00:07:04.851 --> 00:07:06.619
- In every chapter of our history, in every breath that we breathe.
- 00:07:06.686 --> 00:07:08.521
- In every breath that we breathe. and yet, rather than recognize
- 00:07:08.588 --> 00:07:10.056
- And yet, rather than recognize where our blessings come from,
- 00:07:10.122 --> 00:07:11.691
- Where our blessings come from, we choose to pretend
- 00:07:11.757 --> 00:07:12.992
- We choose to pretend as if god doesn't exist.
- 00:07:13.059 --> 00:07:16.295
- As if god doesn't exist. we've forgotten that he is
- 00:07:16.362 --> 00:07:17.296
- We've forgotten that he is the source of every good
- 00:07:17.363 --> 00:07:18.397
- The source of every good and perfect gift.
- 00:07:18.464 --> 00:07:19.365
- And perfect gift. everything great and small,
- 00:07:19.432 --> 00:07:21.834
- Everything great and small, god gave you.
- 00:07:21.901 --> 00:07:24.170
- God gave you. today, the food that
- 00:07:24.237 --> 00:07:25.371
- Today, the food that you're going to eat at lunch,
- 00:07:25.438 --> 00:07:26.405
- You're going to eat at lunch, god created that all
- 00:07:26.472 --> 00:07:27.807
- God created that all the way back in
- 00:07:27.874 --> 00:07:28.674
- The way back in the genesis when he said,
- 00:07:28.741 --> 00:07:29.709
- The genesis when he said, "every seed bearing plant
- 00:07:29.775 --> 00:07:31.444
- "every seed bearing plant give forth its fruit."
- 00:07:31.511 --> 00:07:32.545
- Give forth its fruit." god was thinking about you then
- 00:07:32.612 --> 00:07:34.747
- God was thinking about you then and he was planning
- 00:07:34.814 --> 00:07:35.748
- And he was planning your lunch now.

- Your lunch now. the strength that you have

- The strength that you have to be in this service today,
- 00:07:39.719 --> 00:07:41.621
- To be in this service today, god gave it to you because
- 00:07:41.687 --> 00:07:42.955
- God gave it to you because the bible tells us
- 00:07:43.022 --> 00:07:43.956
- The bible tells us in him we live, and move,
- 00:07:44.023 --> 00:07:45.224
- In him we live, and move, and have our being.
- 00:07:45.291 --> 00:07:46.192
- And have our being. the roof that's over your head,

- 00:07:47.793 --> 00:07:48.961
- The roof that you sleep under at night,
- 00:07:49.028 --> 00:07:49.795
- Under at night, where did that roof come from?
- 00:07:49.862 --> 00:07:51.397
- Where did that roof come from? it came from the trees.
- 00:07:51.464 --> 00:07:52.498
- It came from the trees. who created the trees?
- 00:07:52.565 --> 00:07:53.533
- Who created the trees? god.
- 00:07:53.599 --> 00:07:54.267
- God. how did that tree get to grow?
- 00:07:54.333 --> 00:07:55.768
- How did that tree get to grow? god saw it, he watched it,
- 00:07:55.835 --> 00:07:57.470
- God saw it, he watched it, it grew, he cut it down,
- 00:07:57.537 --> 00:07:58.804
- It grew, he cut it down, he brought it to your house,
- 00:07:58.871 --> 00:08:00.039

- 00:08:16.856 --> 00:08:21.093
- During the time of the judges,
- 00:08:22.495 --> 00:08:23.930
- During the time of the judges, there was political chaos.
- 00:08:23.996 --> 00:08:26.232
- There was political chaos. they were walking around
- 00:08:26.299 --> 00:08:27.066
- They were walking around digging a rut,
- 00:08:27.133 --> 00:08:28.000
- Digging a rut, serving false gods,
- 00:08:28.067 --> 00:08:30.102
- Serving false gods, not living in
- 00:08:30.169 --> 00:08:30.770
- Not living in the blessings of god.
- 00:08:30.836 --> 00:08:32.038
- The blessings of god. and as life got worse
- 00:08:32.104 --> 00:08:33.005
- And as life got worse and worse and worse,
- 00:08:33.072 --> 00:08:34.240
- And worse and worse, the people would cry out to god,
- 00:08:34.307 --> 00:08:35.908
- The people would cry out to god, god would raise up a leader,
- 00:08:35.975 --> 00:08:37.877
- God would raise up a leader, and that leader, he didn't
- 00:08:37.944 --> 00:08:39.545
- And that leader, he didn't solve the problem.
- 00:08:39.612 --> 00:08:40.846

- 00:08:47.687 --> 00:08:49.655
- Not man. and what happened when that
- 00:08:49.722 --> 00:08:50.423
- And what happened when that leader had brought them
- 00:08:50.489 --> 00:08:51.791
- Leader had brought them closer to god?
- 00:08:51.857 --> 00:08:52.558
- Closer to god? god solved the problem,

- People get frustrated and fed up,
- 00:09:05.771 --> 00:09:06.706
- And fed up, they start crying out to god,
- 00:09:06.772 --> 00:09:07.840
- They start crying out to god, they call for fasting
- 00:09:07.907 --> 00:09:08.941
- They call for fasting and prayer and consecration,
- 00:09:09.008 --> 00:09:10.376
- And prayer and consecration, god raises up a leader,
- 00:09:10.443 --> 00:09:12.044
- God raises up a leader, the people get closer to god,
- 00:09:12.111 --> 00:09:13.112
- The people get closer to god, things start to get good,
- 00:09:13.179 --> 00:09:14.747
- Things start to get good, and where do we go?
- 00:09:14.814 --> 00:09:15.448
- And where do we go? right back into the rut.
- 00:09:15.514 --> 00:09:18.484
- Right back into the rut. why?
- 00:09:18.551 --> 00:09:20.319
- Why? because we've forgotten
- 00:09:20.386 --> 00:09:21.253
- Because we've forgotten the goodness of god
- 00:09:21.320 --> 00:09:22.455
- The goodness of god in our lives.
- 00:09:22.521 --> 00:09:24.323
- In our lives. we need to understand that
- 00:09:24.390 --> 00:09:25.625
- We need to understand that god is the same yesterday,
- 00:09:25.691 --> 00:09:27.760
- God is the same yesterday, today, and forever.
- 00:09:27.827 --> 00:09:29.595
- Today, and forever. our answer does not come from
- 00:09:29.662 --> 00:09:31.530
- Our answer does not come from a policy that is written
- 00:09:31.597 --> 00:09:32.665
- A policy that is written in a government,
- 00:09:32.732 --> 00:09:33.599
- In a government, our answer does not come
- 00:09:33.666 --> 00:09:35.167
- Our answer does not come from a candidate that is on
- 00:09:35.234 --> 00:09:36.335
- From a candidate that is on a ticket for election.
- 00:09:36.402 --> 00:09:37.703
- A ticket for election. our answer is the same answer
- 00:09:37.770 --> 00:09:39.672
- Our answer is the same answer that has been from the beginning
- 00:09:39.739 --> 00:09:41.107

- 00:09:41.173 --> 00:09:42.041
- Of time and will be all the way to the end.

- All the way to the end. he is the alpha
- 00:09:43.409 --> 00:09:44.410
- He is the alpha and he is the omega.
- 00:09:44.477 --> 00:09:45.845
- And he is the omega. he is the first
- 00:09:45.911 --> 00:09:46.812

- [cheering and applause]
- 00:09:57.723 --> 00:10:03.763
- What was it with this generation
- 00:10:04.630 --> 00:10:06.432
- What was it with this generation that they decided god
- 00:10:06.499 --> 00:10:07.700
- That they decided god didn't exist?
- 00:10:07.767 --> 00:10:08.968
- Didn't exist? the answer,
- 00:10:09.035 --> 00:10:09.602
- The answer, they didn't have the same
- 00:10:09.669 --> 00:10:10.936
- They didn't have the same struggle that their parents
- 00:10:11.003 --> 00:10:12.371
- Struggle that their parents and their grandparents did.
- 00:10:12.438 --> 00:10:15.608
- And their grandparents did. they had it too good.
- 00:10:15.675 --> 00:10:19.078
- They had it too good. they didn't have to walk around

- 00:13:15.921 --> 00:13:17.356
- Is a literal crossroads, very similar to what
- 00:13:17.423 --> 00:13:18.290
- Very similar to what the judges were living in
- 00:13:18.357 --> 00:13:19.658
- The judges were living in in the book of --
- 00:13:19.725 --> 00:13:21.093

- 00:13:37.910 --> 00:13:42.414
- Light and darkness. at the crossroads that we face,
- 00:13:42.481 --> 00:13:45.317
- At the crossroads that we face, there's an ancient question
- 00:13:45.384 --> 00:13:46.719
- There's an ancient question that has to be answered
- 00:13:46.785 --> 00:13:47.686
- That has to be answered in our modern time.
- 00:13:47.753 --> 00:13:49.788
- In our modern time. this was the question that moses
- 00:13:49.855 --> 00:13:51.290
- This was the question that moses asked his generation when they
- 00:13:51.357 --> 00:13:53.225
- Asked his generation when they were at a crossroads.
- 00:13:53.292 --> 00:13:55.427
- Were at a crossroads. they were at mount sinai
- 00:13:55.494 --> 00:13:56.929
- They were at mount sinai and 40,000 of them decided that
- 00:13:56.996 --> 00:13:59.098
- And 40,000 of them decided that they were gonna start worshiping
- 00:13:59.164 --> 00:14:00.399
- They were gonna start worshiping this new golden calf theology.
- 00:14:00.466 --> 00:14:04.703
- This new golden calf theology. and when moses saw what was
- 00:14:04.770 --> 00:14:06.672
- And when moses saw what was going on in israel,
- 00:14:06.739 --> 00:14:07.473
- Going on in israel, he asked the question,
- 00:14:07.539 --> 00:14:08.974
- He asked the question, "who is on the lord's side?"
- 00:14:09.041 --> 00:14:12.411
- "who is on the lord's side?" and then, he gave them
- 00:14:12.478 --> 00:14:13.279
- And then, he gave them a command, "come to me."
- 00:14:13.345 --> 00:14:16.181
- A command, "come to me." you see, it's not enough
- 00:14:16.248 --> 00:14:17.049
- You see, it's not enough to say you're on god's side,
- 00:14:17.116 --> 00:14:18.517
- To say you're on god's side, you actually have to put
- 00:14:18.584 --> 00:14:19.585
- You actually have to put actions with your beliefs.
- 00:14:19.652 --> 00:14:23.122
- Actions with your beliefs. and whenever the lord saw those
- 00:14:23.188 --> 00:14:25.157
- And whenever the lord saw those who chose him and came to moses,
- 00:14:25.224 --> 00:14:27.860
- Who chose him and came to moses, he opened up a hole
- 00:14:27.927 --> 00:14:28.761
- He opened up a hole in the ground and swallowed
- 00:14:28.827 --> 00:14:30.095
- In the ground and swallowed everybody else in it.
- 00:14:30.162 --> 00:14:32.364
- Everybody else in it. now, let me give you
- 00:14:32.431 --> 00:14:33.098
- Now, let me give you your options,
- 00:14:33.165 --> 00:14:35.167
- Your options, you come to god,
- 00:14:35.234 --> 00:14:37.937
- You come to god, or you're dismissed.
- 00:14:38.003 --> 00:14:42.174
- Or you're dismissed. that's the polite way
- 00:14:42.241 --> 00:14:43.042

- "i'm on the lord's side?" i can hear the holy spirit
- 00:14:50.716 --> 00:14:52.251

- 00:14:52.318 --> 00:14:54.019
- Echoing through the generations, "who is on the lord's side?
- 00:14:54.086 --> 00:14:56.388
- "who is on the lord's side? who is on the lord's side?
- 00:14:56.455 --> 00:14:58.657
- Who is on the lord's side? who is on the lord's side?"
- 00:14:58.724 --> 00:15:00.392
- Who is on the lord's side?" he doesn't want
- 00:15:00.459 --> 00:15:01.327
- He doesn't want to hear your amen,
- 00:15:01.393 --> 00:15:02.594
