Pastor matt hagee: if you brought your bibles,
00:00:14.275 --> 00:00:14.875
Brought your bibles, turn them to john 4,
00:00:14.942 --> 00:00:16.243
Turn them to john 4, beginning at the 23rd verse,
00:00:16.310 --> 00:00:18.779
Beginning at the 23rd verse, as this morning we begin
00:00:18.846 --> 00:00:19.580
As this morning we begin a brand-new series entitled
00:00:19.647 --> 00:00:21.715
A brand-new series entitled "what a way to live."
00:00:21.782 --> 00:00:24.085
"what a way to live." in the world that we're
00:00:24.151 --> 00:00:25.286
In the world that we're currently existing in,
00:00:25.352 --> 00:00:26.821
Currently existing in, people are asking,
00:00:26.887 --> 00:00:27.655
People are asking, "how do you live?"
00:00:27.721 --> 00:00:28.756
"how do you live?" today, i want to begin
00:00:28.823 --> 00:00:29.857
Today, i want to begin to explain what the bible
00:00:29.924 --> 00:00:31.559
To explain what the bible has to say about how we should
00:00:31.625 --> 00:00:33.294
Has to say about how we should live with this first message,
00:00:33.360 --> 00:00:36.263
Live with this first message, "what matters most."
00:00:36.330 --> 00:00:39.066
"what matters most." if i were to ask you,
00:00:39.133 --> 00:00:40.768
If i were to ask you, "what matters most in a church
00:00:40.835 --> 00:00:42.570
"what matters most in a church service,
00:00:42.636 --> 00:00:43.671
Service, what's the most important part
00:00:43.737 --> 00:00:45.439
What's the most important part of the entire thing that
00:00:45.506 --> 00:00:47.074
Of the entire thing that takes place on sunday
00:00:47.141 --> 00:00:48.242
Takes place on sunday while we're here,"
00:00:48.309 --> 00:00:49.643
While we're here," some would say
00:00:49.710 --> 00:00:50.377
Some would say it's the sermon.
00:00:50.444 --> 00:00:51.078
It's the sermon. others might say
00:00:51.145 --> 00:00:51.879
Others might say it's the altar call.
00:00:51.946 --> 00:00:52.847
It's the altar call. some would feel that
00:00:52.913 --> 00:00:54.148
Some would feel that it's the offering where we have
00:00:54.215 --> 00:00:55.583
It's the offering where we have the opportunity to have god
00:00:55.649 --> 00:00:57.985
The opportunity to have god raise the windows of heaven
00:00:58.052 --> 00:00:59.286
Raise the windows of heaven and pour out blessings
00:00:59.353 --> 00:01:00.221
And pour out blessings on our lives.
00:01:00.287 --> 00:01:01.489
On our lives. some would say it's
00:01:01.555 --> 00:01:02.189
Some would say it's the communion when we remember
00:01:02.256 --> 00:01:03.524
The communion when we remember the sacrifice of the blood
00:01:03.591 --> 00:01:05.059
The sacrifice of the blood and the body of jesus christ.
00:01:05.126 --> 00:01:07.161
And the body of jesus christ. what's the most important part
00:01:07.228 --> 00:01:08.462
What's the most important part of your everyday life?
00:01:08.529 --> 00:01:10.631
Of your everyday life? your individual existence?
00:01:10.698 --> 00:01:13.701
Your individual existence? you might say,
00:01:13.767 --> 00:01:14.201
You might say, "well, it's my physical health,
00:01:14.268 --> 00:01:16.604
"well, it's my physical health, because if i don't have
00:01:16.670 --> 00:01:17.371
Because if i don't have my health,
00:01:17.438 --> 00:01:18.038
My health, i can't enjoy any of
00:01:18.105 --> 00:01:19.273
I can't enjoy any of my other blessings."
00:01:19.340 --> 00:01:20.841
My other blessings." some of you may claim that
00:01:20.908 --> 00:01:22.143
Some of you may claim that the most important part
00:01:22.209 --> 00:01:23.477
The most important part of your everyday life
00:01:23.544 --> 00:01:28.716
Of your everyday life you can get through whatever
00:01:28.782 --> 00:01:30.017
You can get through whatever you're going through.
00:01:30.084 --> 00:01:31.552
You're going through. some might say it's your job
00:01:31.619 --> 00:01:33.287
Some might say it's your job or some other feature
00:01:33.354 --> 00:01:34.822
Or some other feature or facet of who you are.
00:01:34.889 --> 00:01:36.757
Or facet of who you are. what i'm convinced of is that
00:01:36.824 --> 00:01:38.425
What i'm convinced of is that if we were to take the time
00:01:38.492 --> 00:01:39.660
If we were to take the time to ask every individual
00:01:39.727 --> 00:01:41.028
To ask every individual who's here and those who are
00:01:41.095 --> 00:01:42.196
Who's here and those who are watching,
00:01:42.263 --> 00:01:43.164
Watching, "what matters most
00:01:43.230 --> 00:01:44.331
"what matters most in their life,"
00:01:44.398 --> 00:01:45.166
In their life," for every person,
00:01:45.232 --> 00:01:46.033
For every person, we might get a different
00:01:46.100 --> 00:01:47.268
We might get a different answer and have a different
00:01:47.334 --> 00:01:48.936
Answer and have a different conversation.
00:01:49.003 --> 00:01:50.371
Conversation. but i believe that if we were
00:01:50.437 --> 00:01:52.506
But i believe that if we were to speak to heaven above
00:01:52.573 --> 00:01:53.674
To speak to heaven above today,
00:01:53.741 --> 00:01:55.009
Today, if we were to talk to
00:01:55.075 --> 00:01:55.910
If we were to talk to the angels that are around
00:01:55.976 --> 00:01:57.311
The angels that are around god's throne this very moment,
00:01:57.378 --> 00:01:59.647
God's throne this very moment, and ask them,
00:01:59.713 --> 00:02:00.614
And ask them, "what matters most";
00:02:00.681 --> 00:02:02.283
"what matters most"; if we could sit face to face
00:02:02.349 --> 00:02:03.951
If we could sit face to face and talk with god almighty
00:02:04.018 --> 00:02:05.619
And talk with god almighty or listen to what jesus christ,
00:02:05.686 --> 00:02:07.788
Or listen to what jesus christ, our savior and advocate,
00:02:07.855 --> 00:02:09.156
Our savior and advocate, might have to say;
00:02:09.223 --> 00:02:10.424
Might have to say; or speak to the holy spirit,
00:02:10.491 --> 00:02:12.426
Or speak to the holy spirit, if we were to ask them,
00:02:12.493 --> 00:02:13.561
If we were to ask them, "what matters most,
00:02:13.627 --> 00:02:15.196
"what matters most, what matters most
00:02:15.262 --> 00:02:16.096
What matters most in a church service,
00:02:16.163 --> 00:02:17.031
In a church service, what matters most
00:02:17.097 --> 00:02:18.299
What matters most in our daily lives,
00:02:18.365 --> 00:02:19.533
In our daily lives, what matters most every
00:02:19.600 --> 00:02:20.834
What matters most every morning when we wake up,
00:02:20.901 --> 00:02:22.403
Morning when we wake up, what matters most every night
00:02:22.469 --> 00:02:23.904
What matters most every night when we go to bed,
00:02:23.971 --> 00:02:25.005
When we go to bed, i believe that all of heaven
00:02:25.072 --> 00:02:27.007
I believe that all of heaven would say,
00:02:27.074 --> 00:02:27.775
Would say, "the thing that matters most
00:02:27.841 --> 00:02:30.311
"the thing that matters most is worship."
00:02:30.377 --> 00:02:31.579
Is worship." [amen.]
00:02:31.645 --> 00:02:33.180
[amen.] you say,
00:02:33.247 --> 00:02:33.547
You say, "how do you say that, pastor?"
00:02:33.614 --> 00:02:35.549
"how do you say that, pastor?" look at what the bible has
00:02:35.616 --> 00:02:36.450
Look at what the bible has to say.
00:02:36.517 --> 00:02:37.851
To say. worship,
00:02:37.918 --> 00:02:39.553
Worship, because the lord inhabits
00:02:39.620 --> 00:02:41.522
Because the lord inhabits the praises of his people.
00:02:41.589 --> 00:02:44.191
The praises of his people. that means that he literally
00:02:44.258 --> 00:02:45.626
That means that he literally invades the atmosphere of
00:02:45.693 --> 00:02:47.328
Invades the atmosphere of your life when you begin
00:02:47.394 --> 00:02:48.762
Your life when you begin to bless his holy name.
00:02:48.829 --> 00:02:51.165
To bless his holy name. what are the angels around
00:02:51.232 --> 00:02:52.333
What are the angels around god's throne doing?
00:02:52.399 --> 00:02:53.901
God's throne doing? they're worshiping him.
00:02:53.968 --> 00:02:55.402
They're worshiping him. isaiah describes the scene;
00:02:55.469 --> 00:02:57.104
Isaiah describes the scene; that they're flying with
00:02:57.171 --> 00:02:58.439
That they're flying with two wings,
00:02:58.505 --> 00:02:59.206
Two wings, and they're covering
00:02:59.273 --> 00:02:59.873
And they're covering their face with two more,
00:02:59.940 --> 00:03:01.375
Their face with two more, and they're shouting one to
00:03:01.442 --> 00:03:02.509
And they're shouting one to the other, "holy, holy, holy
00:03:02.576 --> 00:03:05.646
The other, "holy, holy, holy is the lord god almighty.
00:03:05.713 --> 00:03:07.548
Is the lord god almighty. the whole earth is filled with
00:03:07.615 --> 00:03:09.316
The whole earth is filled with his glory."
00:03:09.383 --> 00:03:10.217
His glory." read the book of revelation
00:03:10.284 --> 00:03:12.152
Read the book of revelation and see what the new testament
00:03:12.219 --> 00:03:13.721
And see what the new testament saints are doing throughout
00:03:13.787 --> 00:03:15.189
Saints are doing throughout the ages of eternity.
00:03:15.256 --> 00:03:16.624
The ages of eternity. they're standing around
00:03:16.690 --> 00:03:17.658
They're standing around his throne,
00:03:17.725 --> 00:03:18.492
His throne, saying, "worthy, worthy,
00:03:18.559 --> 00:03:20.661
Saying, "worthy, worthy, worthy is the lamb,
00:03:20.728 --> 00:03:21.996
Worthy is the lamb, who was slain to receive
00:03:22.062 --> 00:03:23.497
Who was slain to receive honor, to receive riches,
00:03:23.564 --> 00:03:25.165
Honor, to receive riches, to receive blessings,
00:03:25.232 --> 00:03:26.567
To receive blessings, to receive power,
00:03:26.634 --> 00:03:28.035
To receive power, to receive glory forever.

Do you want to know what matters most?
00:03:31.905 --> 00:03:32.806
Matters most? read psalm 150 where it says,
00:03:32.873 --> 00:03:35.142
Read psalm 150 where it says, "let everything that hath
00:03:35.209 --> 00:03:37.244
"let everything that hath breath praise the lord."
00:03:37.311 --> 00:03:39.380
Breath praise the lord." if you're here today
00:03:39.446 --> 00:03:40.948
If you're here today and you're breathing,
00:03:41.015 --> 00:03:42.149
And you're breathing, you have been ordained
00:03:42.216 --> 00:03:43.417
You have been ordained as an instrument of praise.

00:05:16.744 --> 00:05:17.911
I mean with all of the things that are going on in the world
00:05:17.978 --> 00:05:19.113
That are going on in the world today,
00:05:19.179 --> 00:05:19.813
Today, with all of the matters
00:05:19.880 --> 00:05:20.914
With all of the matters that are quite important,
00:05:20.981 --> 00:05:21.949
That are quite important, with all of the political
00:05:22.015 --> 00:05:22.850
With all of the political issues,
00:05:22.916 --> 00:05:23.450
Issues, and all of the personal
00:05:23.517 --> 00:05:24.218
And all of the personal issues,
00:05:24.284 --> 00:05:24.852
Issues, and all the of the national
00:05:24.918 --> 00:05:25.719
And all the of the national and international and economic
00:05:25.786 --> 00:05:27.154
And international and economic issues;
00:05:27.221 --> 00:05:28.055
Issues; don't you think we've got more
00:05:28.122 --> 00:05:29.423
Don't you think we've got more important things to talk
00:05:29.490 --> 00:05:30.457
Important things to talk about?
00:05:30.524 --> 00:05:31.425
About? [no.]
00:05:31.492 --> 00:05:32.393
[no.] i will tell you that i don't
00:05:32.459 --> 00:05:33.794
I will tell you that i don't think there's anything more
00:05:33.861 --> 00:05:34.895
Think there's anything more important to talk about,
00:05:34.962 --> 00:05:35.929
Important to talk about, because worship changes
00:05:35.996 --> 00:05:37.965
Because worship changes things.
00:05:38.031 --> 00:05:38.799
Things. [that's right.]
00:05:38.866 --> 00:05:40.567
[that's right.] when you read john 4,
00:05:40.634 --> 00:05:42.503
When you read john 4, there are quite a few things
00:05:42.569 --> 00:05:44.872
There are quite a few things that you could focus on.
00:05:44.938 --> 00:05:46.840
That you could focus on. there's political issues.
00:05:46.907 --> 00:05:48.208
There's political issues. there's personal issues.
00:05:48.275 --> 00:05:49.877
There's personal issues. there's private issues.
00:05:49.943 --> 00:05:51.211
There's private issues. there's public issues.
00:05:51.278 --> 00:05:52.679
There's public issues. there's all kinds of issues
00:05:52.746 --> 00:05:54.214
There's all kinds of issues that you could extract
00:05:54.281 --> 00:05:55.482
That you could extract from this chapter.
00:05:55.549 --> 00:05:56.517
From this chapter. but there's only one thing
00:05:56.583 --> 00:05:57.684
But there's only one thing that jesus wants to talk about
00:05:57.751 --> 00:05:59.486
That jesus wants to talk about and that's worship.
00:05:59.553 --> 00:06:01.321
And that's worship. [amen.]
00:06:01.388 --> 00:06:01.955
[amen.] why?
00:06:02.022 --> 00:06:03.257
Why? because worship changes
00:06:03.323 --> 00:06:05.025
Because worship changes things.
00:06:05.092 --> 00:06:06.593
Things. say that with me.
00:06:06.660 --> 00:06:07.661
Say that with me. "worship changes things."
00:06:07.728 --> 00:06:11.765
"worship changes things." just consider some of
00:06:11.832 --> 00:06:12.599
Just consider some of the issues of john 4.
00:06:12.666 --> 00:06:14.301
The issues of john 4. begin at verse 4.
00:06:14.368 --> 00:06:16.703
Begin at verse 4. in john 4:4,
00:06:16.770 --> 00:06:18.806
In john 4:4, it says that jesus needed
00:06:18.872 --> 00:06:21.375
It says that jesus needed to go to samaria.
00:06:21.442 --> 00:06:23.377
To go to samaria. now when you read the entire
00:06:23.444 --> 00:06:24.645
Now when you read the entire chapter,
00:06:24.711 --> 00:06:25.312
Chapter, what you understand is that he
00:06:25.379 --> 00:06:26.847
What you understand is that he and his disciples are down
00:06:26.914 --> 00:06:28.549
And his disciples are down here just below jerusalem
00:06:28.615 --> 00:06:30.551
Here just below jerusalem in the southern part of
00:06:30.617 --> 00:06:32.386
In the southern part of the nation of israel
00:06:32.453 --> 00:06:33.253
The nation of israel in the jordan.
00:06:33.320 --> 00:06:35.088
In the jordan. john the baptist has had
00:06:35.155 --> 00:06:36.523
John the baptist has had a successful ministry.
00:06:36.590 --> 00:06:38.058
A successful ministry. and the pharisees have found
00:06:38.125 --> 00:06:39.526
And the pharisees have found out that jesus is doing better
00:06:39.593 --> 00:06:41.328
Out that jesus is doing better than john.
00:06:41.395 --> 00:06:42.663
Than john. and so to avoid persecution,
00:06:42.729 --> 00:06:45.032
And so to avoid persecution, he's going from the southern
00:06:45.098 --> 00:06:46.300
He's going from the southern part of israel where he's been
00:06:46.366 --> 00:06:48.702
Part of israel where he's been ministering,
00:06:48.769 --> 00:06:49.536
Ministering, back to the sea of galilee,
00:06:49.603 --> 00:06:51.772
Back to the sea of galilee, which is in the northern part
00:06:51.839 --> 00:06:53.140
Which is in the northern part of israel.
00:06:53.207 --> 00:06:54.608
Of israel. but the bible says in john 4:4
00:06:54.675 --> 00:06:57.811
But the bible says in john 4:4 that he needed to go to
00:06:57.878 --> 00:07:00.180
That he needed to go to samaria.
00:07:00.247 --> 00:07:01.849
Samaria. now jesus said that he did not
00:07:01.915 --> 00:07:03.484
Now jesus said that he did not go and he did not do
00:07:03.550 --> 00:07:05.219
Go and he did not do and he did not speak unless
00:07:05.285 --> 00:07:06.753
And he did not speak unless the spirit of the father
00:07:06.820 --> 00:07:07.955
The spirit of the father told him to do so.
00:07:08.021 --> 00:07:10.224
Told him to do so. so he's here in the south,
00:07:10.290 --> 00:07:11.592
So he's here in the south, and he's got to go north
00:07:11.658 --> 00:07:13.126
And he's got to go north to get back to the sea of
00:07:13.193 --> 00:07:14.027
To get back to the sea of galilee.
00:07:14.094 --> 00:07:14.828
Galilee. but on his journey,
00:07:14.895 --> 00:07:16.430
But on his journey, the holy spirit says,
00:07:16.497 --> 00:07:17.431
The holy spirit says, let's take a two-day diversion,
00:07:17.498 --> 00:07:19.633
Let's take a two-day diversion, and take a detour over here
00:07:19.700 --> 00:07:21.401
And take a detour over here to samaria,
00:07:21.468 --> 00:07:22.402
To samaria, because there's a certain
00:07:22.469 --> 00:07:23.370
Because there's a certain woman who's going to be at
00:07:23.437 --> 00:07:24.605
Woman who's going to be at a certain well
00:07:24.671 --> 00:07:25.672
A certain well at a certain time,
00:07:25.739 --> 00:07:26.807
At a certain time, and she's got certain needs.
00:07:26.874 --> 00:07:28.275
And she's got certain needs. and you, jesus,
00:07:28.342 --> 00:07:29.109
And you, jesus, have the answer to all of
00:07:29.176 --> 00:07:30.244
Have the answer to all of her problems.
00:07:30.310 --> 00:07:31.745
Her problems. [amen.]
00:07:31.812 --> 00:07:33.013
[amen.] the first thing that that does
00:07:33.080 --> 00:07:34.181
The first thing that that does is it encourages me,
00:07:34.248 --> 00:07:35.782
Is it encourages me, as i think about the fact that
00:07:35.849 --> 00:07:37.384
As i think about the fact that we serve a god who will go out
00:07:37.451 --> 00:07:39.386
We serve a god who will go out of his way to meet your needs.
00:07:39.453 --> 00:07:42.222
Of his way to meet your needs. (applause)
00:07:42.289 --> 00:07:47.060
(applause) he does not mind coming to
00:07:47.127 --> 00:07:48.595
He does not mind coming to find you in the middle of
00:07:48.662 --> 00:07:49.830
Find you in the middle of your mess,
00:07:49.897 --> 00:07:50.831
Your mess, and when he gets there,
00:07:50.898 --> 00:07:51.899
And when he gets there, brings you the answer
00:07:51.965 --> 00:07:53.066
Brings you the answer that you've been waiting for.
00:07:53.133 --> 00:07:54.902
That you've been waiting for. [amen.]
00:07:54.968 --> 00:07:56.270
[amen.] there's not just the location
00:07:56.336 --> 00:07:58.739
There's not just the location that jesus went out of his way
00:07:58.805 --> 00:07:59.973
That jesus went out of his way to samaria,
00:08:00.040 --> 00:08:00.908
To samaria, but there's the political
00:08:00.974 --> 00:08:01.875
But there's the political issues and the prejudicial
00:08:01.942 --> 00:08:03.176
Issues and the prejudicial issues of where he's at
00:08:03.243 --> 00:08:05.078
Issues of where he's at and who he's with.
00:08:05.145 --> 00:08:07.714
And who he's with. the jews and the samaritans
00:08:07.781 --> 00:08:09.016
The jews and the samaritans had nothing to do with
00:08:09.082 --> 00:08:10.183
Had nothing to do with each other.
00:08:10.250 --> 00:08:10.684
Each other. john 4:9,
00:08:10.751 --> 00:08:12.853
John 4:9, the woman at the well,
00:08:12.920 --> 00:08:13.787
The woman at the well, seeing that jesus is a rabbi,
00:08:13.854 --> 00:08:15.589
Seeing that jesus is a rabbi, she says,
00:08:15.656 --> 00:08:16.223
She says, "jews have no dealings with
00:08:16.290 --> 00:08:18.392
"jews have no dealings with samaritans."
00:08:18.458 --> 00:08:20.260
Samaritans." she was just stating the fact.
00:08:20.327 --> 00:08:21.728
She was just stating the fact. your people hate my people.
00:08:21.795 --> 00:08:24.831
Your people hate my people. why are you being nice to me?
00:08:24.898 --> 00:08:27.868
Why are you being nice to me? the 12 disciples,
00:08:27.935 --> 00:08:29.169
The 12 disciples, who were with jesus,
00:08:29.236 --> 00:08:30.070
Who were with jesus, when they saw where he was
00:08:30.137 --> 00:08:31.338
When they saw where he was going, they were like,
00:08:31.405 --> 00:08:32.172
Going, they were like, hey, jesus, let's not go there.
00:08:32.239 --> 00:08:35.842
Hey, jesus, let's not go there. that's the wrong side of town,
00:08:35.909 --> 00:08:37.644
That's the wrong side of town, man.
00:08:37.711 --> 00:08:38.545
Man. [that's right.]
00:08:38.612 --> 00:08:39.379
[that's right.] stay away from those people.
00:08:39.446 --> 00:08:40.547
Stay away from those people. they don't deserve us.
00:08:40.614 --> 00:08:41.915
They don't deserve us. they don't deserve
00:08:41.982 --> 00:08:42.716
They don't deserve your ministry.
00:08:42.783 --> 00:08:43.450
Your ministry. they don't deserve
00:08:43.517 --> 00:08:44.151
They don't deserve your blessings.
00:08:44.217 --> 00:08:46.119
Your blessings. they don't deserve healing.
00:08:46.186 --> 00:08:47.287
They don't deserve healing. they don't deserve all of
00:08:47.354 --> 00:08:48.255
They don't deserve all of the things that you've been
00:08:48.322 --> 00:08:49.222
The things that you've been doing everywhere
00:08:49.289 --> 00:08:49.856
Doing everywhere that you've been going.
00:08:49.923 --> 00:08:50.857
That you've been going. i know god sent you,
00:08:50.924 --> 00:08:52.059
I know god sent you, and i know you're the son
00:08:52.125 --> 00:08:52.960
And i know you're the son of god.
00:08:53.026 --> 00:08:53.360
Of god. but those people don't deserve
00:08:53.427 --> 00:08:54.428
But those people don't deserve him.
00:08:54.494 --> 00:08:56.630
Him. that's prejudiced.
00:08:56.697 --> 00:08:58.098
That's prejudiced. [right.]
00:08:58.165 --> 00:08:59.132
[right.] jesus is sitting there
00:08:59.199 --> 00:09:00.033
Jesus is sitting there by the well,
00:09:00.100 --> 00:09:02.235
By the well, and he immediately lets
00:09:02.302 --> 00:09:03.236
And he immediately lets everybody know that the living
00:09:03.303 --> 00:09:05.606
Everybody know that the living water that he has to give
00:09:05.672 --> 00:09:07.274
Water that he has to give is not for a certain type of
00:09:07.341 --> 00:09:08.508
Is not for a certain type of people;
00:09:08.575 --> 00:09:08.875
People; it's for anyone who needs
00:09:08.942 --> 00:09:09.977
It's for anyone who needs a drink.
00:09:10.043 --> 00:09:11.211
A drink. [amen.]
00:09:11.278 --> 00:09:12.212
[amen.] the disciples don't want to be
00:09:12.279 --> 00:09:13.580
The disciples don't want to be here.
00:09:13.647 --> 00:09:15.315
Here. this is the wrong side of town
00:09:15.382 --> 00:09:16.850
This is the wrong side of town filled with the wrong kind of
00:09:16.917 --> 00:09:17.851
Filled with the wrong kind of people who don't deserve
00:09:17.918 --> 00:09:19.486
People who don't deserve the kind of love that only god
00:09:19.553 --> 00:09:20.854
The kind of love that only god can give.
00:09:20.921 --> 00:09:21.355
Can give. but isn't it amazing when we
00:09:21.421 --> 00:09:22.889
But isn't it amazing when we realize that god loves people
00:09:22.956 --> 00:09:24.891
Realize that god loves people we don't even like?
00:09:24.958 --> 00:09:26.593
We don't even like? [yes.]
00:09:26.660 --> 00:09:27.861
[yes.] [that's right.]
00:09:27.928 --> 00:09:29.663
[that's right.] (laughter)
00:09:29.730 --> 00:09:30.964
(laughter) the samaritan woman,
00:09:31.031 --> 00:09:33.300
The samaritan woman, just think about her.
00:09:33.367 --> 00:09:35.135
Just think about her. we could talk about her
00:09:35.202 --> 00:09:36.036
We could talk about her for hours.
00:09:36.103 --> 00:09:38.605
For hours. i mean at least she's honest.
00:09:38.672 --> 00:09:41.842
I mean at least she's honest. jesus is going to give her
00:09:41.908 --> 00:09:43.143
Jesus is going to give her a blessing.
00:09:43.210 --> 00:09:44.144
A blessing. and he tells her,
00:09:44.211 --> 00:09:44.645
And he tells her, "go get your husband."
00:09:44.711 --> 00:09:45.779
"go get your husband." and she's honest.
00:09:45.846 --> 00:09:46.813
And she's honest. she says,
00:09:46.880 --> 00:09:47.214
She says, "i don't have a husband."
00:09:47.280 --> 00:09:48.281
"i don't have a husband." that's partially true.
00:09:48.348 --> 00:09:51.385
That's partially true. jesus looks at her and says,
00:09:51.451 --> 00:09:52.386
Jesus looks at her and says, "you're right;
00:09:52.452 --> 00:09:53.053
"you're right; you don't have a husband
00:09:53.120 --> 00:09:54.521
You don't have a husband currently.
00:09:54.588 --> 00:09:55.122
Currently. you've had five in your past."
00:09:55.188 --> 00:09:58.392
You've had five in your past." and she says,
00:09:58.458 --> 00:09:58.759
And she says, "i think you're a prophet."
00:09:58.825 --> 00:10:00.927
"i think you're a prophet." (laughter)
00:10:00.994 --> 00:10:03.697
(laughter) one of the most humorous
00:10:03.764 --> 00:10:04.831
One of the most humorous verses, to me,
00:10:04.898 --> 00:10:06.033
Verses, to me, in all of the bible comes from
00:10:06.099 --> 00:10:07.634
In all of the bible comes from john 4:39.
00:10:07.701 --> 00:10:09.670
John 4:39. this is when the woman goes
00:10:09.736 --> 00:10:10.704
This is when the woman goes into town,
00:10:10.771 --> 00:10:11.838
Into town, and she tells all of
00:10:11.905 --> 00:10:13.040
And she tells all of the people in town,
00:10:13.106 --> 00:10:14.074
The people in town, "come with me.
00:10:14.141 --> 00:10:15.108
"come with me. i've met the messiah."
00:10:15.175 --> 00:10:16.309
I've met the messiah." now she had a reputation
00:10:16.376 --> 00:10:17.644
Now she had a reputation in town.
00:10:17.711 --> 00:10:18.278
In town. everybody knew the kind of
00:10:18.345 --> 00:10:19.346
Everybody knew the kind of girl she was.
00:10:19.413 --> 00:10:20.213
Girl she was. everybody knew who she'd been
00:10:20.280 --> 00:10:21.481
Everybody knew who she'd been with,
00:10:21.548 --> 00:10:22.015
With, and they were talking about
00:10:22.082 --> 00:10:22.683
And they were talking about who she might have been with.
00:10:22.749 --> 00:10:25.085
Who she might have been with. and they look at her,
00:10:25.152 --> 00:10:25.919
And they look at her, and they say, "you?
00:10:25.986 --> 00:10:27.921
And they say, "you? you've met the messiah?
00:10:27.988 --> 00:10:30.590
You've met the messiah? you've met the one that's
00:10:30.657 --> 00:10:31.858
You've met the one that's prophesied to come?
00:10:31.925 --> 00:10:33.126
Prophesied to come? why would he come to town
00:10:33.193 --> 00:10:34.361
Why would he come to town and talk to you?"
00:10:34.428 --> 00:10:35.796
And talk to you?" and she says,
00:10:35.862 --> 00:10:36.329
And she says, "because i've met a man
00:10:36.396 --> 00:10:37.230
"because i've met a man who told me everything i've
00:10:37.297 --> 00:10:39.332
Who told me everything i've ever done,"
00:10:39.399 --> 00:10:40.167
Ever done," which is when everybody
00:10:40.233 --> 00:10:40.934
Which is when everybody went, "wait; woe.
00:10:41.001 --> 00:10:41.835
Went, "wait; woe. we've got to go talk to
00:10:41.902 --> 00:10:42.602
We've got to go talk to this guy."
00:10:42.669 --> 00:10:43.804
This guy." (laughter)
00:10:43.870 --> 00:10:47.874
(laughter) jesus, in spite of all of
00:10:47.941 --> 00:10:49.943
Jesus, in spite of all of the things that he could have
00:10:50.010 --> 00:10:50.977
The things that he could have talked about,
00:10:51.044 --> 00:10:51.545
Talked about, in spite of all of
00:10:51.611 --> 00:10:52.312
In spite of all of the political issues,
00:10:52.379 --> 00:10:53.313
The political issues, the prejudicial issues,
00:10:53.380 --> 00:10:54.481
The prejudicial issues, the religious issues;
00:10:54.548 --> 00:10:55.849
The religious issues; the one thing that he wants to
00:10:55.916 --> 00:10:57.350
The one thing that he wants to talk about is worship.
00:10:57.417 --> 00:11:00.821
Talk about is worship. why?
00:11:00.887 --> 00:11:02.823
Why? because for everything that's
00:11:02.889 --> 00:11:03.890
Because for everything that's going wrong in the situation,
00:11:03.957 --> 00:11:06.560
Going wrong in the situation, what jesus is communicating is
00:11:06.626 --> 00:11:08.495
What jesus is communicating is that if we can get worship
00:11:08.562 --> 00:11:10.330
That if we can get worship right,
00:11:10.397 --> 00:11:12.099
Right, then some of the other things
00:11:12.165 --> 00:11:13.033
Then some of the other things that we've been struggling
00:11:13.100 --> 00:11:13.967
That we've been struggling with will start to change under
00:11:14.034 --> 00:11:16.169
With will start to change under the power and the presence
00:11:16.236 --> 00:11:17.971

00:11:18.038 --> 00:11:19.139

[yes.] don't dismiss the topic
00:11:19.706 --> 00:11:22.042
Don't dismiss the topic of worship as being something
00:11:22.109 --> 00:11:23.610
Of worship as being something for spiritual people,
00:11:23.677 --> 00:11:24.845
For spiritual people, because worship is not for
00:11:24.911 --> 00:11:26.213
Because worship is not for spiritual people.
00:11:26.279 --> 00:11:27.347
Spiritual people. worship is for real people
00:11:27.414 --> 00:11:29.182
Worship is for real people with real problems who have
00:11:29.249 --> 00:11:30.817

00:11:30.884 --> 00:11:31.651

About worship; that's not for me.
00:12:40.854 --> 00:12:41.688
That's not for me. that's not going to help me

That's not going to help me with what i'm dealing with,

Yes, it will! why?
00:12:47.894 --> 00:12:48.228
Why? because worship changes
00:12:48.295 --> 00:12:50.463
Because worship changes things!

(applause) jesus said it this way;
00:12:55.101 --> 00:12:56.303
Jesus said it this way; he said,
00:12:56.369 --> 00:12:56.736
He said, "those who worship god,
00:12:56.803 --> 00:12:57.971
"those who worship god, worship him in spirit
00:12:58.038 --> 00:13:00.307
Worship him in spirit and truth."
00:13:00.373 --> 00:13:01.208
And truth." say those two words with me.
00:13:01.274 --> 00:13:02.742
Say those two words with me. "spirit" and "truth."
00:13:02.809 --> 00:13:05.345
"spirit" and "truth." what does it mean
00:13:05.412 --> 00:13:05.979
What does it mean to worship god in spirit?
00:13:06.046 --> 00:13:08.348
To worship god in spirit? don't over spiritualize it.
00:13:08.415 --> 00:13:10.183
Don't over spiritualize it. it means to worship god
00:13:10.250 --> 00:13:11.484
It means to worship god with passion.
00:13:11.551 --> 00:13:13.086
With passion. [amen.]
00:13:13.153 --> 00:13:13.520
[amen.] it means that when you praise
00:13:13.587 --> 00:13:14.688
It means that when you praise him,
00:13:14.754 --> 00:13:15.121
Him, you pour out your heart
00:13:15.188 --> 00:13:16.256
You pour out your heart in thanksgiving for all
00:13:16.323 --> 00:13:17.791
In thanksgiving for all that he has done,
00:13:17.858 --> 00:13:19.092
That he has done, and you give him passionate
00:13:19.159 --> 00:13:20.727

00:13:20.794 --> 00:13:22.562
Praise because of everything that he's poured into
00:13:22.629 --> 00:13:23.396

00:13:23.463 --> 00:13:24.731
Your life. [amen.]

[amen.] do it with passion.
00:13:25.465 --> 00:13:26.399
Do it with passion. why?
00:13:26.466 --> 00:13:26.900
Why? because he deserves it.
00:13:26.967 --> 00:13:28.635
Because he deserves it. [amen.]
00:13:28.702 --> 00:13:29.402
[amen.] let me ask you this question;
00:13:29.469 --> 00:13:31.271
Let me ask you this question; what if the passion
00:13:31.338 --> 00:13:32.339
What if the passion and the intimacy of your
00:13:32.405 --> 00:13:33.874
And the intimacy of your relationship with your spouse
00:13:33.940 --> 00:13:35.508
Relationship with your spouse here on the earth was reflected
00:13:35.575 --> 00:13:37.344
Here on the earth was reflected in the same measure of
00:13:37.410 --> 00:13:38.545
In the same measure of the intimacy that you
00:13:38.612 --> 00:13:39.579
The intimacy that you poured out to god?
00:13:39.646 --> 00:13:42.549
Poured out to god? hmm.
00:13:42.616 --> 00:13:46.453
Hmm. (laughter)
00:13:46.519 --> 00:13:49.322
(laughter) she's with me.
00:13:49.389 --> 00:13:51.258
She's with me. (laughter)
00:13:51.324 --> 00:13:53.093
(laughter) some of you would find it hard
00:13:53.159 --> 00:13:54.294
Some of you would find it hard to have enough emotion
00:13:54.361 --> 00:13:55.228
To have enough emotion for a good hug.
00:13:55.295 --> 00:13:57.163
For a good hug. (laughter)
00:13:57.230 --> 00:13:58.899
(laughter) because when you come to
00:13:58.965 --> 00:13:59.566
Because when you come to church and you worship god,
00:13:59.633 --> 00:14:00.867
Church and you worship god, there's no reflection of
00:14:00.934 --> 00:14:01.902
There's no reflection of the passion that you possess
00:14:01.968 --> 00:14:03.036
The passion that you possess for him.
00:14:03.103 --> 00:14:05.372
For him. you say,
00:14:05.438 --> 00:14:05.705
You say, "well you don't understand,
00:14:05.772 --> 00:14:06.373
"well you don't understand, preacher.
00:14:06.439 --> 00:14:06.840
Preacher. i was raised that you just
00:14:06.907 --> 00:14:08.441
I was raised that you just didn't show that kind of
00:14:08.508 --> 00:14:09.342
Didn't show that kind of emotion in church."
00:14:09.409 --> 00:14:12.279
Emotion in church." okay.
00:14:12.345 --> 00:14:12.679

All due respect to your tradition,
00:14:13.513 --> 00:14:14.347
Your tradition, the bible says,
00:14:14.414 --> 00:14:15.348
The bible says, "those who worship him,
00:14:15.415 --> 00:14:16.449
"those who worship him, must worship him in spirit
00:14:16.516 --> 00:14:19.252
Must worship him in spirit and in truth."

And in truth." [amen.]
00:14:20.654 --> 00:14:21.187
[amen.] jesus said that if you're
00:14:21.254 --> 00:14:22.122
Jesus said that if you're going to worship the father,
00:14:22.188 --> 00:14:23.223
Going to worship the father, you can take your tradition
00:14:23.290 --> 00:14:24.457
You can take your tradition and toss it,
00:14:24.524 --> 00:14:25.258
And toss it, because if god's been good
00:14:25.325 --> 00:14:26.626
Because if god's been good to you,
00:14:26.693 --> 00:14:27.060
To you, then he deserves
00:14:27.127 --> 00:14:27.994
Then he deserves a great amount of your praise.
00:14:28.061 --> 00:14:30.530
A great amount of your praise. (applause)
00:14:30.597 --> 00:14:35.702

What does it mean to worship him in truth?
00:14:36.836 --> 00:14:37.938
Him in truth? it means to worship him
00:14:38.004 --> 00:14:39.506
It means to worship him in a biblically accurate way.
00:14:39.572 --> 00:14:42.842
In a biblically accurate way. that means this;
00:14:42.909 --> 00:14:43.643
That means this; that there is a right way
00:14:43.710 --> 00:14:45.045
That there is a right way and there is a wrong way
00:14:45.111 --> 00:14:46.313
And there is a wrong way to worship the lord.
00:14:46.379 --> 00:14:48.348
To worship the lord. the right way to worship him
00:14:48.415 --> 00:14:50.083
The right way to worship him is to where it's all about him
00:14:50.150 --> 00:14:52.385
Is to where it's all about him and not about you.
00:14:52.452 --> 00:14:54.521
And not about you. [amen.]
00:14:54.587 --> 00:14:55.855
[amen.] your praise is not
00:14:55.922 --> 00:14:56.923
Your praise is not a performance.
00:14:56.990 --> 00:14:57.791
A performance. your praise is the outpouring
00:14:57.857 --> 00:14:59.926
Your praise is the outpouring of your thanks
00:14:59.993 --> 00:15:00.961
Of your thanks and your worship to the god
00:15:01.027 --> 00:15:02.462
And your worship to the god who's given you everything.
00:15:02.529 --> 00:15:04.531
Who's given you everything. jesus said,
00:15:04.597 --> 00:15:05.298
Jesus said, "true worshippers will worship
00:15:05.365 --> 00:15:07.534
"true worshippers will worship in spirit
00:15:07.600 --> 00:15:08.335
In spirit (that's with passion)
00:15:08.401 --> 00:15:09.302
(that's with passion) and truth,
00:15:09.369 --> 00:15:10.370
And truth, because the father is seeking."
00:15:10.437 --> 00:15:13.039
Because the father is seeking." say that with me.
00:15:13.106 --> 00:15:14.007
Say that with me. "the father is seeking."
00:15:14.074 --> 00:15:16.843
"the father is seeking." what an awesome thought that
00:15:16.910 --> 00:15:18.244
What an awesome thought that god is looking for something.
00:15:18.311 --> 00:15:21.114
God is looking for something. he can create anything out of
00:15:21.181 --> 00:15:23.183
He can create anything out of nothing.
00:15:23.249 --> 00:15:23.783
Nothing. he has all power.
00:15:23.850 --> 00:15:25.151
He has all power. he has all authority.
00:15:25.218 --> 00:15:26.720
He has all authority. he can speak to nothing
00:15:26.786 --> 00:15:28.355
He can speak to nothing and it becomes something.
00:15:28.421 --> 00:15:29.856
And it becomes something. but there's one thing that
00:15:29.923 --> 00:15:31.057
But there's one thing that the god,
00:15:31.124 --> 00:15:31.624
The god, who created heaven and earth,
00:15:31.691 --> 00:15:32.726
Who created heaven and earth, is looking for.
00:15:32.792 --> 00:15:34.094
Is looking for. he's searching for it.
00:15:34.160 --> 00:15:35.328
He's searching for it. he's looking in every
00:15:35.395 --> 00:15:36.496
He's looking in every congregation.
00:15:36.563 --> 00:15:37.397
Congregation. he's looking in every home.
00:15:37.464 --> 00:15:39.065
He's looking in every home. he's looking in every heart
00:15:39.132 --> 00:15:40.834
He's looking in every heart for one type of person,
00:15:40.900 --> 00:15:42.202
For one type of person, and that's the person
00:15:42.268 --> 00:15:43.003
And that's the person who will worship him
00:15:43.069 --> 00:15:44.304
Who will worship him with their whole heart
00:15:44.371 --> 00:15:45.805
With their whole heart and do it in the right way.
00:15:45.872 --> 00:15:47.374
And do it in the right way. because when you're that kind
00:15:47.440 --> 00:15:48.875
Because when you're that kind of person,
00:15:48.942 --> 00:15:49.476
Of person, then you're the kind of person
00:15:49.542 --> 00:15:50.643
Then you're the kind of person that god himself wants to hang
00:15:50.710 --> 00:15:52.779
That god himself wants to hang out with right here on earth.
00:15:52.846 --> 00:15:55.515
Out with right here on earth. (applause)
00:15:55.582 --> 00:15:56.182
(applause) jesus is very clear in john 4.
00:15:56.249 --> 00:15:58.918
Jesus is very clear in john 4. there are two spheres of
00:15:58.985 --> 00:16:00.587
There are two spheres of influence,
00:16:00.653 --> 00:16:01.254
Influence, two places where it needs to
00:16:01.321 --> 00:16:02.889
Two places where it needs to take place.
00:16:02.956 --> 00:16:05.191
Take place. one is public;
00:16:05.258 --> 00:16:06.559
One is public; the other is private.
00:16:06.626 --> 00:16:08.161
The other is private. they're not exclusive of
00:16:08.228 --> 00:16:09.396
They're not exclusive of each other.
00:16:09.462 --> 00:16:10.830
Each other. and how well you worship god
00:16:10.897 --> 00:16:12.365
And how well you worship god privately determines
00:16:12.432 --> 00:16:13.967
Privately determines what happens when you come
00:16:14.034 --> 00:16:15.468
What happens when you come to worship god publicly.
00:16:15.535 --> 00:16:18.405
To worship god publicly. he says to the woman
00:16:18.471 --> 00:16:19.272
He says to the woman in verse 21,
00:16:19.339 --> 00:16:20.140
In verse 21, "the hour is coming."
00:16:20.206 --> 00:16:22.142
"the hour is coming." say that with me.
00:16:22.208 --> 00:16:23.076
Say that with me. "the hour is coming."
00:16:23.143 --> 00:16:25.412
"the hour is coming." what he was telling her
00:16:25.478 --> 00:16:26.880
What he was telling her is that when i die,
00:16:26.946 --> 00:16:29.349
Is that when i die, the veil in the temple that
00:16:29.416 --> 00:16:31.251
The veil in the temple that separates god from the people
00:16:31.317 --> 00:16:33.286
Separates god from the people and the people from god,
00:16:33.353 --> 00:16:34.554
And the people from god, when i die,
00:16:34.621 --> 00:16:35.655
When i die, that veil is going to be
00:16:35.722 --> 00:16:37.123
That veil is going to be ripped.
00:16:37.190 --> 00:16:37.924
Ripped. and there is not going to be
00:16:37.991 --> 00:16:39.059
And there is not going to be a barrier between the presence
00:16:39.125 --> 00:16:40.560
A barrier between the presence of god and his people.
00:16:40.627 --> 00:16:42.529
Of god and his people. so the hour is coming when
00:16:42.595 --> 00:16:44.364
So the hour is coming when the veil is ripped,
00:16:44.431 --> 00:16:45.732
The veil is ripped, and you will not need to
00:16:45.799 --> 00:16:46.900
And you will not need to worship god on the mountain
00:16:46.966 --> 00:16:48.234
Worship god on the mountain in jerusalem,
00:16:48.301 --> 00:16:49.169
In jerusalem, and you will not need to
00:16:49.235 --> 00:16:50.236
And you will not need to worship god on the hills of
00:16:50.303 --> 00:16:51.671
Worship god on the hills of galilee,
00:16:51.738 --> 00:16:52.505
Galilee, because the presence of god
00:16:52.572 --> 00:16:53.773
Because the presence of god will be in you,
00:16:53.840 --> 00:16:54.941
Will be in you, and you can worship god
00:16:55.008 --> 00:16:56.609
And you can worship god wherever you are,
00:16:56.676 --> 00:16:57.510
Wherever you are, whenever you want,
00:16:57.577 --> 00:16:58.545
Whenever you want, because he dwells in you.
00:16:58.611 --> 00:17:01.214
Because he dwells in you. (applause)
00:17:01.281 --> 00:17:03.950
(applause) paul said it this way to the
00:17:04.017 --> 00:17:05.251
Paul said it this way to the church in 1 corinthians 6:19;
00:17:05.318 --> 00:17:07.754
Church in 1 corinthians 6:19; "do you not know that your
00:17:07.821 --> 00:17:09.389
"do you not know that your body is the temple of
00:17:09.456 --> 00:17:10.623
Body is the temple of the holy spirit who is in you?"
00:17:10.690 --> 00:17:16.096
The holy spirit who is in you?" he's saying,
00:17:16.162 --> 00:17:16.629
He's saying, you don't come to church;
00:17:16.696 --> 00:17:18.431
You don't come to church; you are the church.
00:17:18.498 --> 00:17:20.066
You are the church. [amen.]
00:17:20.133 --> 00:17:20.667
[amen.] wherever you go,
00:17:20.733 --> 00:17:21.701
Wherever you go, whatever you're doing,
00:17:21.768 --> 00:17:22.602
Whatever you're doing, that's where the church is,
00:17:22.669 --> 00:17:23.903
That's where the church is, because you are the place
00:17:23.970 --> 00:17:25.538
Because you are the place where the spirit of god
00:17:25.605 --> 00:17:26.506
Where the spirit of god dwells.
00:17:26.573 --> 00:17:28.007
Dwells. when we all get together,
00:17:28.074 --> 00:17:29.709
When we all get together, then that's where the presence
00:17:29.776 --> 00:17:31.111
Then that's where the presence of the lord increases
00:17:31.177 --> 00:17:33.046
Of the lord increases in its intensity;
00:17:33.113 --> 00:17:34.280
In its intensity; because one of us can put
00:17:34.347 --> 00:17:35.482
Because one of us can put a thousand to flight,
00:17:35.548 --> 00:17:36.749
A thousand to flight, and two of us,
00:17:36.816 --> 00:17:37.584
And two of us, ten thousand to flight.
00:17:37.650 --> 00:17:39.385
Ten thousand to flight. [that's right.]
00:17:39.452 --> 00:17:39.853
[that's right.] colossians 3:23 encourages us
00:17:39.919 --> 00:17:41.955
Colossians 3:23 encourages us all.
00:17:42.021 --> 00:17:42.489
All. it says, "whatever you do,
00:17:42.555 --> 00:17:45.058
It says, "whatever you do, do it heartily --"
00:17:45.125 --> 00:17:46.826
Do it heartily --" that means
00:17:46.893 --> 00:17:47.360
That means do it with enthusiasm
00:17:47.427 --> 00:17:48.461
Do it with enthusiasm and do it with excellence.
00:17:48.528 --> 00:17:50.296
And do it with excellence. "-- as unto the lord
00:17:50.363 --> 00:17:51.798
"-- as unto the lord and not to men,
00:17:51.865 --> 00:17:53.032
And not to men, knowing that your reward
00:17:53.099 --> 00:17:54.501
Knowing that your reward is from him."
00:17:54.567 --> 00:17:55.869
Is from him." [amen.]
00:17:55.935 --> 00:17:57.203
[amen.] that means that everything
00:17:57.270 --> 00:17:58.338
That means that everything your hand finds to do,
00:17:58.404 --> 00:18:00.006
Your hand finds to do, you get to make it an act
00:18:00.073 --> 00:18:02.108
You get to make it an act of praise.
00:18:02.175 --> 00:18:03.977
Of praise. you can worship god in spirit
00:18:04.043 --> 00:18:05.712
You can worship god in spirit with the work of your hands,
00:18:05.778 --> 00:18:07.046
With the work of your hands, saying, father,
00:18:07.113 --> 00:18:08.248
Saying, father, all of my work is for you,
00:18:08.314 --> 00:18:10.016
All of my work is for you, because you're the one who
00:18:10.083 --> 00:18:11.017
Because you're the one who gave me the ability to do it.
00:18:11.084 --> 00:18:13.520
Gave me the ability to do it. [amen.]
00:18:13.586 --> 00:18:13.953
[amen.] you say, "preacher,
00:18:14.020 --> 00:18:14.621
You say, "preacher, do you expect me to do that
00:18:14.687 --> 00:18:16.055
Do you expect me to do that privately?"
00:18:16.122 --> 00:18:16.756
Privately?" no, i don't;
00:18:16.823 --> 00:18:17.857
No, i don't; god does.
00:18:17.924 --> 00:18:19.359
God does. [amen.]
00:18:19.425 --> 00:18:20.960
[amen.] because how well you worship
00:18:21.027 --> 00:18:22.128
Because how well you worship privately determines what
00:18:22.195 --> 00:18:23.763
Privately determines what happens when we worship
00:18:23.830 --> 00:18:25.031
Happens when we worship publicly.
00:18:25.098 --> 00:18:27.934
Publicly. these are not exclusive of
00:18:28.001 --> 00:18:29.235
These are not exclusive of each other.
00:18:29.302 --> 00:18:29.702
Each other. people hear,
00:18:29.769 --> 00:18:30.236
People hear, "well, i'm the temple
00:18:30.303 --> 00:18:31.070
"well, i'm the temple of the holy spirit.
00:18:31.137 --> 00:18:31.905
Of the holy spirit. i don't have to go to church."
00:18:31.971 --> 00:18:33.139
I don't have to go to church." you're dead wrong.
00:18:33.206 --> 00:18:35.775
You're dead wrong. hebrews 10:24,
00:18:35.842 --> 00:18:37.911
Hebrews 10:24, "do not forsake the assembling
00:18:37.977 --> 00:18:40.346
"do not forsake the assembling of yourselves together."
00:18:40.413 --> 00:18:41.347
Of yourselves together." say that with me.
00:18:41.414 --> 00:18:42.282
Say that with me. "do not forsake the assembling
00:18:42.348 --> 00:18:45.051
"do not forsake the assembling of yourselves together."
00:18:45.118 --> 00:18:46.886
Of yourselves together." now i've heard people say,
00:18:46.953 --> 00:18:47.720
Now i've heard people say, "well pastor,
00:18:47.787 --> 00:18:48.288
"well pastor, those were different times."
00:18:48.354 --> 00:18:49.289
Those were different times." you bet they were.
00:18:49.355 --> 00:18:51.824
You bet they were. in hebrews,
00:18:51.891 --> 00:18:52.825
In hebrews, there was a global plague that
00:18:52.892 --> 00:18:54.394
There was a global plague that was killing millions of
00:18:54.460 --> 00:18:55.495
Was killing millions of people.
00:18:55.562 --> 00:18:57.363
People. and for the hebrews,
00:18:57.430 --> 00:18:58.565
And for the hebrews, who were part of the christian
00:18:58.631 --> 00:18:59.666
Who were part of the christian church in rome,
00:18:59.732 --> 00:19:00.967
Church in rome, they were being crucified,
00:19:01.034 --> 00:19:02.235
They were being crucified, fed to lions,
00:19:02.302 --> 00:19:03.136
Fed to lions, wrapped in oily rags,
00:19:03.203 --> 00:19:04.304
Wrapped in oily rags, and burned.
00:19:04.370 --> 00:19:06.272
And burned. that's what you call political
00:19:06.339 --> 00:19:07.674
That's what you call political persecution,
00:19:07.740 --> 00:19:09.676
Persecution, not somebody posting ugly
00:19:09.742 --> 00:19:10.944
Not somebody posting ugly things about you on facebook.
00:19:11.010 --> 00:19:13.513
Things about you on facebook. (laughter)
00:19:13.580 --> 00:19:14.614
(laughter) [whew.]
00:19:14.681 --> 00:19:15.582
[whew.] [you got it.]
00:19:15.648 --> 00:19:16.182
[you got it.] and in spite of that kind of
00:19:16.249 --> 00:19:16.983
And in spite of that kind of persecution and in spite of
00:19:17.050 --> 00:19:18.518
Persecution and in spite of those kinds of circumstances,
00:19:18.585 --> 00:19:20.186
Those kinds of circumstances, the holy spirit said,
00:19:20.253 --> 00:19:21.354
The holy spirit said, "do not forsake the assembling
00:19:21.421 --> 00:19:24.490
"do not forsake the assembling of yourselves together."
00:19:24.557 --> 00:19:26.059
Of yourselves together." [amen.]
00:19:26.125 --> 00:19:26.759
[amen.] that wasn't an option;
00:19:26.826 --> 00:19:27.727
That wasn't an option; it was a command.
00:19:27.794 --> 00:19:29.862
It was a command. without private worship,
00:19:29.929 --> 00:19:31.731
Without private worship, public worship is just
00:19:31.798 --> 00:19:33.099
Public worship is just a performance.
00:19:33.166 --> 00:19:35.235
A performance. [amen.]
00:19:35.301 --> 00:19:36.035
[amen.] but when you worship well
00:19:36.102 --> 00:19:37.070
But when you worship well privately,
00:19:37.136 --> 00:19:37.937
Privately, you impact the way we worship
00:19:38.004 --> 00:19:39.739
You impact the way we worship publicly.
00:19:39.806 --> 00:19:41.608
Publicly. so that means if you come to
00:19:41.674 --> 00:19:42.775
So that means if you come to church, and you go,
00:19:42.842 --> 00:19:43.509
Church, and you go, "well church just wasn't
00:19:43.576 --> 00:19:44.344
"well church just wasn't very good today,"
00:19:44.410 --> 00:19:45.111
Very good today," you're partly to blame.
00:19:45.178 --> 00:19:46.779
You're partly to blame. (laughter)
00:19:46.846 --> 00:19:49.716
(laughter) when you live a lifestyle
00:19:49.782 --> 00:19:50.783
When you live a lifestyle of worship,
00:19:50.850 --> 00:19:52.952
Of worship, everything that you do,
00:19:53.019 --> 00:19:54.254
Everything that you do, every day that you do it is
00:19:54.320 --> 00:19:55.555
Every day that you do it is a sacrifice of praise unto him.
00:19:55.622 --> 00:19:58.791
A sacrifice of praise unto him. god expects us to worship
00:19:58.858 --> 00:20:00.460
God expects us to worship corporately.
00:20:00.526 --> 00:20:01.194
Corporately. why?
00:20:01.261 --> 00:20:01.761
Why? because when we worship
00:20:01.828 --> 00:20:02.629
Because when we worship corporately,
00:20:02.695 --> 00:20:03.329
Corporately, we are reminded that he is
00:20:03.396 --> 00:20:04.764
We are reminded that he is "our" father,
00:20:04.831 --> 00:20:05.865
"our" father, not just my father.
00:20:05.932 --> 00:20:07.934
Not just my father. [amen.]
00:20:08.001 --> 00:20:09.235
[amen.] some people need to realize
00:20:09.302 --> 00:20:10.403
Some people need to realize you're not god's only child.
00:20:10.470 --> 00:20:12.872
You're not god's only child. [whew.]
00:20:12.939 --> 00:20:14.741

"bless me, bless me, bless me, bless me."
00:20:16.643 --> 00:20:18.444
Bless me, bless me." (laughter)
00:20:18.511 --> 00:20:19.212
(laughter) some of the greatest blessings
00:20:19.279 --> 00:20:20.280
Some of the greatest blessings you'll ever receive
00:20:20.346 --> 00:20:21.147
You'll ever receive in your life is when you
00:20:21.214 --> 00:20:22.115
In your life is when you start praying,
00:20:22.181 --> 00:20:22.849
Start praying, "god, bless them."
00:20:22.915 --> 00:20:24.284
"god, bless them." [yes!]
00:20:24.350 --> 00:20:24.784
[yes!] "god, bless them"

"god, bless them." (applause)
00:20:28.721 --> 00:20:31.758
(applause) god expects us to worship
00:20:31.824 --> 00:20:33.026
God expects us to worship corporately,
00:20:33.092 --> 00:20:33.593
Corporately, because certain spiritual
00:20:33.660 --> 00:20:34.727
Because certain spiritual blessings are only available
00:20:34.794 --> 00:20:36.429
Blessings are only available when we get together
00:20:36.496 --> 00:20:37.563
When we get together in the unity of the faith.
00:20:37.630 --> 00:20:39.966
In the unity of the faith. in acts 2,
00:20:40.033 --> 00:20:41.134
In acts 2, the bible clearly says that
00:20:41.200 --> 00:20:42.235
The bible clearly says that god did great signs
00:20:42.302 --> 00:20:43.536
God did great signs and wonders when the church
00:20:43.603 --> 00:20:44.637
And wonders when the church was together worshiping
00:20:44.704 --> 00:20:46.706
Was together worshiping and praying in one accord.
00:20:46.773 --> 00:20:50.610
And praying in one accord. god wants us to worship
00:20:50.677 --> 00:20:51.611
God wants us to worship together corporately,
00:20:51.678 --> 00:20:52.645
Together corporately, because we influence each
00:20:52.712 --> 00:20:54.547
Because we influence each other when we're together.
00:20:54.614 --> 00:20:57.016
Other when we're together. [amen.]
