Harvest with Pastor Greg Laurie | Greg Laurie - Jesus and the Person Who is Afraid | June 22, 2026
  • ...
  • 00:00:00.633 --> 00:00:01.333
  • Greg laurie: this would be like a pop warner team beating the
  • 00:00:06.071 --> 00:00:08.574
  • Buffalo bills in a football game.
  • 00:00:08.674 --> 00:00:11.377
  • This would be like a little league team beating the
  • 00:00:11.510 --> 00:00:12.444
  • La dodgers.
  • 00:00:13.579 --> 00:00:15.147
  • How does something like this even happen?
  • 00:00:15.147 --> 00:00:17.483
  • Well, god did it, and we're in a battle.
  • 00:00:17.483 --> 00:00:20.352
  • If you like it or not, you're in a spiritual battle, and the only
  • 00:00:20.352 --> 00:00:25.124
  • Choice you have is are you gonna fight or are you gonna lose.
  • 00:00:25.124 --> 00:00:28.594
  • ♪ this is the day, ♪
  • 00:00:32.131 --> 00:00:34.900
  • ♪ the day when life begins. ♪♪
  • 00:00:34.900 --> 00:00:41.306
  • Greg: i feel like the script has been flipped and our culture is
  • 00:00:45.544 --> 00:00:49.248
  • Upside down right now.
  • 00:00:49.248 --> 00:00:50.916
  • We're celebrating things that are bad.
  • 00:00:50.916 --> 00:00:54.319
  • We are criticizing things that are good.
  • 00:00:54.319 --> 00:00:58.190
  • It's all turned around.
  • 00:00:58.190 --> 00:00:59.992
  • What's wrong is now trending, and when culture is upside down
  • 00:00:59.992 --> 00:01:05.064
  • Hearts are going to be anxious.
  • 00:01:05.064 --> 00:01:07.266
  • As an example, 84% of gen z kids say they're anxious or stressed
  • 00:01:07.266 --> 00:01:12.871
  • Regularly, one in three adults say they lose sleep over their
  • 00:01:12.871 --> 00:01:16.675
  • Finances, nearly 70% of americans say the future makes
  • 00:01:16.675 --> 00:01:22.147
  • Them afraid, and the top fears that people have today include
  • 00:01:22.147 --> 00:01:26.685
  • Failure, rejection, loneliness, global conflict, and
  • 00:01:26.685 --> 00:01:30.956
  • Their health.
  • 00:01:30.956 --> 00:01:32.324
  • So i want to look at what jesus has to say to the person who is
  • 00:01:32.324 --> 00:01:36.795
  • Afraid, and that person might be you.
  • 00:01:36.795 --> 00:01:40.065
  • You might come here to church today filled with fear or
  • 00:01:40.065 --> 00:01:43.335
  • Anxiety, and this is a story of a man who was afraid, and jesus
  • 00:01:43.335 --> 00:01:49.308
  • Came to him.
  • 00:01:49.308 --> 00:01:50.642
  • This man's name was gideon, and gideon was hiding from his
  • 00:01:50.642 --> 00:01:54.813
  • Enemy, the midianites, and in his encounter with christ his
  • 00:01:54.813 --> 00:01:59.051
  • Life was changed.
  • 00:01:59.051 --> 00:02:00.385
  • He went from being fearful to being faithful, from hiding to
  • 00:02:00.385 --> 00:02:04.656
  • Fighting, from panic to purpose, and man, you want to talk about
  • 00:02:04.656 --> 00:02:08.293
  • Things being upside down.
  • 00:02:08.293 --> 00:02:10.095
  • Against the backdrop of gideon's life we have the book of judges
  • 00:02:10.095 --> 00:02:13.398
  • That introduces us to him, and in judges 17:6, it says that
  • 00:02:13.398 --> 00:02:19.071
  • "in those days israel had no king," and that whatever seemed
  • 00:02:19.071 --> 00:02:22.908
  • Right in the eyes of the people, they did.
  • 00:02:22.908 --> 00:02:25.511
  • Everyone did what seemed right in their own eyes.
  • 00:02:25.511 --> 00:02:28.714
  • If we were to put that into '60s vernacular, we would say,
  • 00:02:28.714 --> 00:02:32.484
  • "everyone was doing their own thing," and that's really true
  • 00:02:32.484 --> 00:02:35.487
  • Of our culture today.
  • 00:02:35.487 --> 00:02:36.855
  • Everyone is doing what is right in their own eyes.
  • 00:02:36.855 --> 00:02:39.858
  • So god raised up 16 judges-- excuse me, 13 judges to judge
  • 00:02:39.858 --> 00:02:45.063
  • His people through these difficult times, and israel was
  • 00:02:45.063 --> 00:02:49.768
  • Going from bad to worse, and when you contrast the book of
  • 00:02:49.768 --> 00:02:53.438
  • Joshua, which jonathan talked to us about last week, that's a
  • 00:02:53.438 --> 00:02:57.376
  • Book of conquest.
  • 00:02:57.376 --> 00:02:58.944
  • Judges is a book of defeat.
  • 00:02:58.944 --> 00:03:01.346
  • Joshua is about the adventures and exploits of israel as they
  • 00:03:01.346 --> 00:03:05.250
  • Obeyed god and entered into the promised land, while judges is a
  • 00:03:05.250 --> 00:03:09.388
  • Book of unbelief and disobedience, and so everyone's
  • 00:03:09.388 --> 00:03:14.293
  • Doing what they want to do, and what happens?
  • 00:03:14.293 --> 00:03:17.629
  • Jesus shows up.
  • 00:03:17.629 --> 00:03:19.631
  • Jesus always shows up.
  • 00:03:19.631 --> 00:03:21.800
  • No matter what you're going through he will show up in your
  • 00:03:21.800 --> 00:03:25.337
  • Life, when things are going great and when things are not
  • 00:03:25.337 --> 00:03:28.607
  • Going so great.
  • 00:03:28.607 --> 00:03:30.309
  • I think it's important for us to call on the lord in the time of
  • 00:03:30.309 --> 00:03:33.512
  • Trouble, but it's also important for us to give thanks to him
  • 00:03:33.512 --> 00:03:37.416
  • When he's gotten us through the time of trouble.
  • 00:03:37.416 --> 00:03:40.652
  • I like what it says in james 5:13, when it says, "if anyone
  • 00:03:40.652 --> 00:03:44.856
  • Is among you is in trouble?
  • 00:03:44.856 --> 00:03:46.391
  • Let him pray.
  • 00:03:46.391 --> 00:03:47.759
  • Is anyone happy?
  • 00:03:47.759 --> 00:03:49.127
  • Let him sing songs of praise."
  • 00:03:49.127 --> 00:03:51.697
  • So probably right now you're either in trouble or things are
  • 00:03:51.697 --> 00:03:55.434
  • Going reasonably well.
  • 00:03:55.434 --> 00:03:56.802
  • If you're in trouble, pray, absolutely pray, but if things
  • 00:03:56.802 --> 00:04:01.173
  • Are going well, just remember to give god thanks for that.
  • 00:04:01.173 --> 00:04:05.177
  • So it's around 1256 bc and israel is reaping the
  • 00:04:05.177 --> 00:04:11.216
  • Consequences of bad decisions they made earlier.
  • 00:04:11.216 --> 00:04:14.486
  • As we saw in the book of joshua they were to drive out the
  • 00:04:14.486 --> 00:04:17.456
  • Inhabitants of the land, they were to destroy them, but they
  • 00:04:17.456 --> 00:04:22.160
  • Half did the job, and the midianites were left and they
  • 00:04:22.160 --> 00:04:25.430
  • Grew stronger, and now as time has passed the midianites are
  • 00:04:25.430 --> 00:04:29.001
  • Dominating, even terrorizing the people of israel.
  • 00:04:29.001 --> 00:04:34.206
  • You know, it can happen in our own lives too.
  • 00:04:34.206 --> 00:04:36.174
  • We'll deal with a certain problem in our life, but we
  • 00:04:36.174 --> 00:04:38.877
  • Won't deal with it completely, like a tree.
  • 00:04:38.877 --> 00:04:41.813
  • You know how trees sometimes start tearing things apart as
  • 00:04:41.813 --> 00:04:45.584
  • The roots spread through your yard, so you've got to remove
  • 00:04:45.584 --> 00:04:48.020
  • That tree, but you can't just chop the tree down.
  • 00:04:48.020 --> 00:04:51.223
  • You've got to take the roots out too.
  • 00:04:51.223 --> 00:04:52.991
  • You've got to take the stump out as well, otherwise it will come
  • 00:04:52.991 --> 00:04:56.495
  • Back again with a vengeance, and that's what israel was facing as
  • 00:04:56.495 --> 00:05:00.165
  • Things they should have dealt with earlier were now coming
  • 00:05:00.165 --> 00:05:03.235
  • Back to haunt them, but the lord shows up and he brings
  • 00:05:03.235 --> 00:05:07.172
  • Deliverance to them through a man named gideon because jesus
  • 00:05:07.172 --> 00:05:11.810
  • Meets fearful people where they are.
  • 00:05:11.810 --> 00:05:15.447
  • So we're introduced to gideon in judges chapter 6, starting at
  • 00:05:15.447 --> 00:05:19.918
  • Verse 11.
  • 00:05:19.918 --> 00:05:21.253
  • Read along with me.
  • 00:05:21.253 --> 00:05:22.621
  • "the angel of the lord came and sat beneath the great tree at
  • 00:05:22.621 --> 00:05:27.292
  • Ophrah," which belonged to oprah winfrey.
  • 00:05:27.292 --> 00:05:30.262
  • No, i threw that in 'cause you were thinking it.
  • 00:05:30.262 --> 00:05:34.066
  • "of the clan of abiezer.
  • 00:05:34.066 --> 00:05:36.368
  • Gideon the son of joash was threshing wheat at the bottom of
  • 00:05:36.368 --> 00:05:39.571
  • A winepress to hide the grain from the midianites.
  • 00:05:39.571 --> 00:05:43.075
  • The angel of the lord appeared to him and said, 'mighty hero,
  • 00:05:43.075 --> 00:05:46.578
  • The lord is with you!'"
  • 00:05:46.578 --> 00:05:47.913
  • Kind of a funny scene.
  • 00:05:47.913 --> 00:05:50.148
  • Here's a guy hiding from his enemies, hoping they don't see
  • 00:05:50.148 --> 00:05:53.685
  • Him, and an angel shows up and says, "mighty hero, the lord is
  • 00:05:53.685 --> 00:05:58.557
  • With you!"
  • 00:05:58.557 --> 00:05:59.891
  • He's probably looking like, "you talking to someone else?
  • 00:05:59.891 --> 00:06:01.226
  • What, you're talking to me?
  • 00:06:01.226 --> 00:06:03.195
  • Me, a mighty hero?"
  • 00:06:03.195 --> 00:06:05.263
  • "'the lord is with you!'"
  • 00:06:05.263 --> 00:06:06.598
  • "and then gideon says, 'well, if the lord is with us, why
  • 00:06:06.598 --> 00:06:09.935
  • Has all of this happened to us?
  • 00:06:09.935 --> 00:06:11.436
  • And where are all the miracles our ancestors told us about?
  • 00:06:11.436 --> 00:06:15.707
  • Didn't they say, "the lord brought us out of egypt?"
  • 00:06:15.707 --> 00:06:18.176
  • And now the lord has abandoned us and handed us over to
  • 00:06:18.176 --> 00:06:21.213
  • The midianites.'
  • 00:06:21.213 --> 00:06:23.014
  • And the lord said to him, 'go with the strength you have, to
  • 00:06:23.014 --> 00:06:26.518
  • Rescue israel from the midianites.
  • 00:06:26.518 --> 00:06:30.088
  • I am sending you.'"
  • 00:06:30.088 --> 00:06:31.456
  • We'll stop there.
  • 00:06:31.456 --> 00:06:32.791
  • What a powerful text that is.
  • 00:06:32.791 --> 00:06:34.159
  • Heard the story of a mother that was reading bible stories to her
  • 00:06:34.159 --> 00:06:37.929
  • Little girl, and as she heard the great stories of the heroes
  • 00:06:37.929 --> 00:06:41.299
  • Of the bible--moses, joshua, daniel, esther, and others--she
  • 00:06:41.299 --> 00:06:46.438
  • Said, "mommy, it seems like god was more exciting back then,"
  • 00:06:46.438 --> 00:06:51.443
  • You know, and you might wonder, "why can't i see something like
  • 00:06:51.443 --> 00:06:54.246
  • I see in the bible?"
  • 00:06:54.246 --> 00:06:55.914
  • You know, you hear things that have happened in the past.
  • 00:06:55.914 --> 00:06:58.016
  • "oh, the jesus revolution.
  • 00:06:58.016 --> 00:06:59.718
  • I hear about that.
  • 00:06:59.718 --> 00:07:01.086
  • Why can't we have that in our generation?" and maybe we're
  • 00:07:01.086 --> 00:07:04.089
  • Starting to have that right now, 'cause god is certainly at work.
  • 00:07:04.089 --> 00:07:08.593
  • Or you might say, "well, god's working in that person's life.
  • 00:07:08.593 --> 00:07:11.530
  • Why isn't he working in my life in the same way?
  • 00:07:11.530 --> 00:07:14.065
  • God healed that girl, god provided for that guy, the lord
  • 00:07:14.065 --> 00:07:18.336
  • Got this other person out of that crisis, but i'm still sick
  • 00:07:18.336 --> 00:07:22.274
  • And i still need this provision and i'm still facing a crisis,"
  • 00:07:22.274 --> 00:07:26.244
  • And that's what gideon was saying, "lord, why?
  • 00:07:26.244 --> 00:07:28.814
  • Why is this happening to me?"
  • 00:07:28.814 --> 00:07:31.383
  • It's interesting.
  • 00:07:31.383 --> 00:07:32.717
  • You know, life is full of questions, and even after we
  • 00:07:32.717 --> 00:07:35.654
  • Become christians we still have questions.
  • 00:07:35.654 --> 00:07:38.423
  • I can be honest with you and say i have questions for god,
  • 00:07:38.423 --> 00:07:42.661
  • Unanswered questions, but i've learned in life that i cannot
  • 00:07:42.661 --> 00:07:46.731
  • Live on explanations, but rather on the promises of god, but one
  • 00:07:46.731 --> 00:07:52.103
  • Day all of my questions are going to be answered and yours
  • 00:07:52.103 --> 00:07:55.507
  • Are going to be too when we stand before god, and 1
  • 00:07:55.507 --> 00:07:58.910
  • Corinthians 13 says, "right now we see things imperfectly, like
  • 00:07:58.910 --> 00:08:03.148
  • Puzzling reflections in a mirror, but then we will see
  • 00:08:03.148 --> 00:08:06.284
  • Everything with perfect clarity.
  • 00:08:06.284 --> 00:08:08.887
  • All i know now is partial and incomplete, but then i will know
  • 00:08:08.887 --> 00:08:13.158
  • Everything completely, as i am known by god."
  • 00:08:13.158 --> 00:08:16.328
  • Isn't that great to know?
  • 00:08:16.328 --> 00:08:18.230
  • So gideon says why, and god responds with who, as in, you
  • 00:08:18.230 --> 00:08:22.567
  • Got the wrong question, buddy.
  • 00:08:22.567 --> 00:08:24.236
  • Don't be asking why.
  • 00:08:24.236 --> 00:08:26.137
  • Be asking who should i turn to.
  • 00:08:26.137 --> 00:08:27.873
  • So gideon says, "why is this happening?"
  • 00:08:27.873 --> 00:08:30.609
  • God says, "i am with you. i'm with you.
  • 00:08:30.609 --> 00:08:33.945
  • That's the answer i'm giving to you.
  • 00:08:33.945 --> 00:08:36.147
  • You are not alone in what you are facing," and christ appears
  • 00:08:36.147 --> 00:08:39.951
  • To him.
  • 00:08:39.951 --> 00:08:41.319
  • Now remember, we're calling these christophanies, that's a
  • 00:08:41.319 --> 00:08:44.789
  • Theological term for an appearance of jesus in the
  • 00:08:44.789 --> 00:08:48.059
  • Old testament.
  • 00:08:48.059 --> 00:08:49.427
  • The first christophany we looked at together was in the book of
  • 00:08:49.427 --> 00:08:52.864
  • Genesis when abraham offered his son isaac in obedience to the
  • 00:08:52.864 --> 00:08:57.435
  • Lord, and the angel of the lord appeared, who was none other
  • 00:08:57.435 --> 00:09:00.805
  • Than jesus christ.
  • 00:09:00.805 --> 00:09:02.440
  • Then we looked at jacob wrestling with an angel, which
  • 00:09:02.440 --> 00:09:06.077
  • Turned out to be jesus because he said afterwards, "i've
  • 00:09:06.077 --> 00:09:10.015
  • Wrestled with god and i've seen god face to face."
  • 00:09:10.015 --> 00:09:13.752
  • Then jonathan told us the story of joshua, who encountered the
  • 00:09:13.752 --> 00:09:17.689
  • Angel of the lord, or actually jesus, before he went into
  • 00:09:17.689 --> 00:09:21.593
  • Battle against jericho, and here we are now with gideon having an
  • 00:09:21.593 --> 00:09:25.864
  • Encounter with jesus.
  • 00:09:25.864 --> 00:09:27.198
  • You say, "well, greg, you're wrong because the bible says,
  • 00:09:27.198 --> 00:09:29.968
  • 'an angel of the lord came to him.'"
  • 00:09:29.968 --> 00:09:31.670
  • Well, actually it says, "the angel of the lord came to him,"
  • 00:09:31.670 --> 00:09:35.507
  • The angel.
  • 00:09:35.507 --> 00:09:36.841
  • That's different from an angel.
  • 00:09:36.841 --> 00:09:38.209
  • Now, if an angel were to appear right now it'd be
  • 00:09:38.209 --> 00:09:41.613
  • Pretty awesome.
  • 00:09:41.613 --> 00:09:43.081
  • Angels are magnificent creatures and they are surrounding the
  • 00:09:43.081 --> 00:09:47.252
  • Life of the believer, and there are--they are actively involved
  • 00:09:47.252 --> 00:09:50.789
  • In our lives, and in fact, the apostle john had an angel appear
  • 00:09:50.789 --> 00:09:55.226
  • To him and he bowed down to worship it, and he was strictly
  • 00:09:55.226 --> 00:09:59.197
  • Forbidden to do that by the angel, but this encounter is
  • 00:09:59.197 --> 00:10:03.335
  • Different because first it's identified as the angel of the
  • 00:10:03.335 --> 00:10:08.039
  • Lord, and then the narrative shifts and we find gideon
  • 00:10:08.039 --> 00:10:11.343
  • Calling him the lord, and also this angel, or the lord, says,
  • 00:10:11.343 --> 00:10:16.848
  • "i am sending you," so he uses the first person pronoun,
  • 00:10:16.848 --> 00:10:21.086
  • Assuming divine authority.
  • 00:10:21.086 --> 00:10:23.588
  • So it's not an angel, it's jesus, and jesus is
  • 00:10:23.588 --> 00:10:27.726
  • Commissioning gideon to lead the people of israel into battle.
  • 00:10:27.726 --> 00:10:33.865
  • Gideon's thinking, "you got the wrong guy.
  • 00:10:33.865 --> 00:10:36.568
  • Are you kidding me?
  • 00:10:36.568 --> 00:10:37.902
  • I'm the last guy you should choose to do this."
  • 00:10:37.902 --> 00:10:40.372
  • Look at verse 15.
  • 00:10:40.372 --> 00:10:41.706
  • "'but lord,' gideon replied, 'how can i rescue israel?
  • 00:10:41.706 --> 00:10:45.510
  • My clan is the weakest in the whole tribe of manasseh, and i'm
  • 00:10:45.510 --> 00:10:49.080
  • Least of my entire family!'"
  • 00:10:49.080 --> 00:10:51.316
  • But that's okay because god seems to go out of his way to
  • 00:10:51.316 --> 00:10:55.387
  • Use unexpected people to do unexpected things.
  • 00:10:55.387 --> 00:10:59.491
  • God loves to do the extraordinary through
  • 00:10:59.491 --> 00:11:03.028
  • The ordinary.
  • 00:11:03.028 --> 00:11:04.362
  • I remember when i would engage in sports in high school and
  • 00:11:04.362 --> 00:11:08.266
  • Before, i just--i always wanted to do well in athletics, but i
  • 00:11:08.266 --> 00:11:11.703
  • Never did.
  • 00:11:11.703 --> 00:11:13.071
  • I know what it's like to be picked last for the team.
  • 00:11:13.071 --> 00:11:16.007
  • I literally was always picked last for the team.
  • 00:11:16.007 --> 00:11:18.943
  • "i'll take him." "i'll take her."
  • 00:11:18.943 --> 00:11:20.311
  • "i'll take him." "i'll take her."
  • 00:11:20.311 --> 00:11:21.680
  • Then at the end there's me and a three-legged dog there.
  • 00:11:21.680 --> 00:11:24.549
  • It's just like, "i'll take the three-legged dog, all right."
  • 00:11:24.549 --> 00:11:27.852
  • "all right, we'll take laurie.
  • 00:11:27.852 --> 00:11:29.354
  • We had laurie last time.
  • 00:11:29.354 --> 00:11:30.722
  • Okay, greg, you can be first base."
  • 00:11:30.722 --> 00:11:33.458
  • "you want me to play first base?"
  • 00:11:33.458 --> 00:11:34.959
  • "no, we want you to be first base.
  • 00:11:34.959 --> 00:11:36.895
  • We're gonna slide into you with our cleats.
  • 00:11:36.895 --> 00:11:39.297
  • That's what we actually want."
  • 00:11:39.297 --> 00:11:41.366
  • So gideon says, "who am i?"
  • 00:11:41.366 --> 00:11:44.436
  • And i love the lord's response.
  • 00:11:44.436 --> 00:11:46.371
  • "who am i," verse 15, the lord says, "that's not the issue.
  • 00:11:46.371 --> 00:11:50.175
  • It's who am i, not who are you?
  • 00:11:50.175 --> 00:11:53.278
  • Who cares who you are?
  • 00:11:53.278 --> 00:11:55.346
  • Who am i, and i'm going to be with you," and the lord calls
  • 00:11:55.346 --> 00:11:59.250
  • Him a mighty hero.
  • 00:11:59.250 --> 00:12:01.453
  • Hey, mighty hero, the lord is with you.
  • 00:12:01.453 --> 00:12:05.123
  • I think gideon felt more like a pathetic zero than a mighty
  • 00:12:05.123 --> 00:12:09.027
  • Hero, but god doesn't just see you for what you are.
  • 00:12:09.027 --> 00:12:12.997
  • He sees you for what you can become.
  • 00:12:12.997 --> 00:12:15.700
  • You know, we see a vacillating simon.
  • 00:12:15.700 --> 00:12:19.237
  • God sees a rock-like peter.
  • 00:12:19.237 --> 00:12:22.140
  • We see a hate-filled, persecuting saul of tarsus.
  • 00:12:22.140 --> 00:12:27.545
  • God sees a powerful apostle paul.
  • 00:12:27.545 --> 00:12:31.850
  • We see a frightened gideon.
  • 00:12:31.850 --> 00:12:34.786
  • God sees a military leader, and he chooses him.
  • 00:12:34.786 --> 00:12:39.624
  • I mean, to call gideon a mighty hero, that would be like seeing
  • 00:12:39.624 --> 00:12:42.560
  • Some kid who can't throw a football and saying, "hey, tom
  • 00:12:42.560 --> 00:12:45.997
  • Brady, let me ask you a question," or finding some kid
  • 00:12:45.997 --> 00:12:49.634
  • Who's failing in class and saying, "einstein, come
  • 00:12:49.634 --> 00:12:52.270
  • Up here."
  • 00:12:52.270 --> 00:12:53.605
  • It's kind of a joke, but it wasn't a joke.
  • 00:12:53.605 --> 00:12:55.907
  • God saw him for what he would be, but before public victory we
  • 00:12:55.907 --> 00:13:01.513
  • Have to obey god at home.
  • 00:13:01.513 --> 00:13:04.015
  • So the lord says, "here's your first test, gideon.
  • 00:13:04.015 --> 00:13:06.417
  • Before you lead the troops into battle you got to make a stand
  • 00:13:06.417 --> 00:13:09.587
  • In your home."
  • 00:13:09.587 --> 00:13:10.922
  • So as it turns out, gideon's father had erected an altar
  • 00:13:10.922 --> 00:13:14.859
  • To baal.
  • 00:13:14.859 --> 00:13:16.194
  • The lord showed gideon he needs to tear the altar down, which
  • 00:13:16.194 --> 00:13:20.565
  • Gideon did, but the problem is--maybe it's a problem.
  • 00:13:20.565 --> 00:13:24.636
  • I don't think it is.
  • 00:13:24.636 --> 00:13:26.004
  • He did it at night.
  • 00:13:26.004 --> 00:13:27.372
  • Now, some would say, "well, he should have done it in broad
  • 00:13:27.372 --> 00:13:29.440
  • Daylight so everyone could see."
  • 00:13:29.440 --> 00:13:30.909
  • Oh, he did it at night, it's his dad's altar, and then the people
  • 00:13:30.909 --> 00:13:35.480
  • Were so angry they said, "we should execute gideon," and the
  • 00:13:35.480 --> 00:13:39.117
  • Funny thing is his father was really moved by what he did and
  • 00:13:39.117 --> 00:13:42.053
  • Defended his son and got closer to the lord as a result, but he
  • 00:13:42.053 --> 00:13:46.124
  • Took a stand in his own home, and i appreciate that, and i
  • 00:13:46.124 --> 00:13:51.095
  • Think it's important for us to never give up on our families,
  • 00:13:51.095 --> 00:13:54.833
  • But also to remember this, the hardest people to reach with the
  • 00:13:54.833 --> 00:13:58.303
  • Gospel is your family, you know, and there comes a point where
  • 00:13:58.303 --> 00:14:02.240
  • They don't need any more sermons.
  • 00:14:02.240 --> 00:14:04.776
  • They need you to live the sermon, but every one of us
  • 00:14:04.776 --> 00:14:09.147
  • Should do everything we can to point our family to christ.
  • 00:14:09.147 --> 00:14:12.584
  • So if you're a kid living with your parents, be the best
  • 00:14:12.584 --> 00:14:15.987
  • Christian kid you can be, especially if they're
  • 00:14:15.987 --> 00:14:18.089
  • Not believers.
  • 00:14:18.089 --> 00:14:19.457
  • Do your chores, be responsible, be respectful, and that's how
  • 00:14:19.457 --> 00:14:24.629
  • You can win your parents to christ.
  • 00:14:24.629 --> 00:14:26.598
  • If you're a christian woman married to a non-christian man,
  • 00:14:26.598 --> 00:14:30.034
  • Be a godly, loving woman.
  • 00:14:30.034 --> 00:14:32.670
  • That's how you're going to reach him.
  • 00:14:32.670 --> 00:14:34.038
  • The bible even says you can do it without a word by the way
  • 00:14:34.038 --> 00:14:37.876
  • That you live, and for a husband, if he is married to a
  • 00:14:37.876 --> 00:14:41.913
  • Non-christian woman, he should love her as christ loves
  • 00:14:41.913 --> 00:14:45.550
  • The church.
  • 00:14:45.550 --> 00:14:46.918
  • Even as we came to christ because of his love for us, you
  • 00:14:46.918 --> 00:14:50.822
  • Can win that lady over in time, god willing.
  • 00:14:50.822 --> 00:14:53.691
  • Don't give up on her, but i would like to say a word to men.
  • 00:14:53.691 --> 00:14:57.428
  • How many men are there out there?
  • 00:14:57.428 --> 00:14:58.796
  • Raise your hand if you're a man.
  • 00:14:58.796 --> 00:15:00.698
  • Get up that muscular arm of yours.
  • 00:15:00.698 --> 00:15:05.236
  • Men, god has called you to be the spiritual leader in
  • 00:15:05.236 --> 00:15:09.507
  • Your home.
  • 00:15:09.507 --> 00:15:11.075
  • Ladies, you need to do everything you can to support
  • 00:15:11.075 --> 00:15:15.146
  • Him as the spiritual leader in your home.
  • 00:15:15.146 --> 00:15:20.084
  • You should be able to say, guys, along with joshua, "as for me
  • 00:15:20.084 --> 00:15:23.621
  • And my house, we will serve the lord."
  • 00:15:23.621 --> 00:15:27.158
  • Men, husbands, fathers, you should be reading the scripture
  • 00:15:27.158 --> 00:15:31.796
  • To your children.
  • 00:15:31.796 --> 00:15:33.331
  • You should be leading prayer.
  • 00:15:33.331 --> 00:15:35.934
  • You should be saying, "we're going to go to church now."
  • 00:15:35.934 --> 00:15:38.870
  • You say, "but what if my kids say, 'we don't want to go?'"
  • 00:15:38.870 --> 00:15:41.306
  • Say, "that's interesting.
  • 00:15:41.306 --> 00:15:42.640
  • Get in the car," right?
  • 00:15:42.640 --> 00:15:44.709
  • Be a man. be a leader.
  • 00:15:44.709 --> 00:15:47.045
  • So gideon made a stand in his home.
  • 00:15:47.045 --> 00:15:50.281
  • Now it's time to go to battle against the midianites.
  • 00:15:50.281 --> 00:15:53.584
  • He manages to rally 32,000 men.
  • 00:15:53.584 --> 00:15:56.788
  • That's pretty good, but the problem is the midianites had
  • 00:15:56.788 --> 00:16:00.591
  • 135,000 men.
  • 00:16:00.591 --> 00:16:04.062
  • So he's thinking about how he's going to attack them, what he's
  • 00:16:04.062 --> 00:16:06.965
  • Going to do, and the lord has another test for him.
  • 00:16:06.965 --> 00:16:10.601
  • Let's look at it.
  • 00:16:10.601 --> 00:16:11.970
  • Judges 7, verse 2, "the lord said to gideon, 'you have too
  • 00:16:11.970 --> 00:16:15.807
  • Many warriors with you.
  • 00:16:15.807 --> 00:16:17.842
  • If i let all of you fight the midianites, the israelites will
  • 00:16:17.842 --> 00:16:21.279
  • Boast that they did it in their own strength.
  • 00:16:21.279 --> 00:16:24.315
  • Therefore, tell the people, "whoever is timid or afraid,
  • 00:16:24.315 --> 00:16:27.986
  • Leave this mountain and go home."'
  • 00:16:27.986 --> 00:16:30.488
  • And 22,000 went home, and only 10,000 were remaining who were
  • 00:16:30.488 --> 00:16:36.694
  • Willing to fight," wow.
  • 00:16:36.694 --> 00:16:38.896
  • "okay, go to your 32,000 men, gideon.
  • 00:16:38.896 --> 00:16:41.866
  • Say, 'if you're fearful and afraid, go home.'"
  • 00:16:41.866 --> 00:16:44.369
  • "okay, see you."
  • 00:16:44.369 --> 00:16:46.137
  • Ten thousand guys walk away.
  • 00:16:46.137 --> 00:16:49.040
  • Why did god want the fearful people to go home?
  • 00:16:49.040 --> 00:16:52.043
  • Because fear is contagious.
  • 00:16:52.043 --> 00:16:56.114
  • I titled this message "jesus and the man who is afraid," and this
  • 00:16:56.114 --> 00:17:01.185
  • Is obviously for a woman as well, any person who is afraid,
  • 00:17:01.185 --> 00:17:04.589
  • Young person, old person, any person, and maybe there's
  • 00:17:04.589 --> 00:17:07.859
  • Something frightening you right now.
  • 00:17:07.859 --> 00:17:10.128
  • Let me share some scriptures about fear.
  • 00:17:10.128 --> 00:17:12.997
  • You might want to write these verses down.
  • 00:17:12.997 --> 00:17:16.601
  • Here's a great one.
  • 00:17:16.601 --> 00:17:18.236
  • David said, "the lord is my light and my salvation, whom
  • 00:17:18.236 --> 00:17:21.639
  • Shall i fear?
  • 00:17:21.639 --> 00:17:22.974
  • The lord is the strength of my life, of whom then shall i
  • 00:17:22.974 --> 00:17:26.177
  • Be afraid?"
  • 00:17:26.177 --> 00:17:27.545
  • That's psalm 27.
  • 00:17:27.545 --> 00:17:28.880
  • God promises in isaiah 41:10, "fear not, for i am with you.
  • 00:17:28.880 --> 00:17:34.052
  • Don't be dismayed. i'm your god.
  • 00:17:34.052 --> 00:17:35.753
  • I will strengthen you.
  • 00:17:35.753 --> 00:17:37.088
  • I will help you.
  • 00:17:37.088 --> 00:17:39.457
  • I will uphold you with my righteous right hand."
  • 00:17:39.457 --> 00:17:43.061
  • Proverbs 3:24, "you can sleep without fear.
  • 00:17:43.061 --> 00:17:46.297
  • You need not be afraid of disaster or the plots of wicked
  • 00:17:46.297 --> 00:17:50.368
  • Men, for the lord is with you.
  • 00:17:50.368 --> 00:17:52.136
  • He protects you."
  • 00:17:52.136 --> 00:17:53.805
  • Why should you remember these?
  • 00:17:53.805 --> 00:17:55.540
  • Because the next time you're afraid you need to quote these
  • 00:17:55.540 --> 00:17:58.643
  • Verses to yourself.
  • 00:17:58.643 --> 00:18:01.446
  • Something's scaring you.
  • 00:18:01.446 --> 00:18:02.814
  • Something's freaking you out.
  • 00:18:02.814 --> 00:18:04.549
  • Remind yourself, the lord is my light and my salvation, of whom
  • 00:18:04.549 --> 00:18:08.219
  • Then shall i be afraid?
  • 00:18:08.219 --> 00:18:09.620
  • The lord is the strength of my life, or as scripture says, 1
  • 00:18:09.620 --> 00:18:13.124
  • Timothy, "god has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and
  • 00:18:13.124 --> 00:18:17.328
  • Of love and of a sound mind."
  • 00:18:17.328 --> 00:18:19.931
  • Use the word of god.
  • 00:18:19.931 --> 00:18:23.267
  • Oh, man, gideon loses two thirds of his army.
  • 00:18:23.267 --> 00:18:26.904
  • Now what is he going to do?
  • 00:18:26.904 --> 00:18:28.606
  • How's he going to handle this?
  • 00:18:28.606 --> 00:18:30.508
  • Now the lord's going to bring another test.
  • 00:18:30.508 --> 00:18:33.177
  • The lord says, "okay, you still have too many men."
  • 00:18:33.177 --> 00:18:35.179
  • "wait, hello, hello?
  • 00:18:35.179 --> 00:18:37.014
  • I have too many men?
  • 00:18:37.014 --> 00:18:38.349
  • I only have 10,000."
  • 00:18:38.349 --> 00:18:39.717
  • "yeah, that's too many.
  • 00:18:39.717 --> 00:18:41.552
  • I want you to do one more test."
  • 00:18:41.552 --> 00:18:43.488
  • "okay."
  • 00:18:43.488 --> 00:18:44.822
  • "so go down to this little spring of water.
  • 00:18:44.822 --> 00:18:46.991
  • Tell them, 'go ahead and drink some water.'"
  • 00:18:46.991 --> 00:18:49.627
  • They were dehydrated, really thirsty, so they went down to
  • 00:18:49.627 --> 00:18:53.431
  • This spring, and the lord says, "i want you to observe these
  • 00:18:53.431 --> 00:18:56.701
  • Men, and those men that go down to the water and just bury their
  • 00:18:56.701 --> 00:19:00.471
  • Face in the brook and drink without any concern of any enemy
  • 00:19:00.471 --> 00:19:04.475
  • Attack or ambush, i don't want you to take them into battle,"
  • 00:19:04.475 --> 00:19:08.379
  • We'll call them the lappers, but then there's the other group who
  • 00:19:08.379 --> 00:19:13.384
  • Get down by the brook and they are on one knee and they bring
  • 00:19:13.384 --> 00:19:17.788
  • The water to their mouth, we'll call them the cuppers.
  • 00:19:17.788 --> 00:19:22.026
  • Says, "those are the ones because they're drinking, but
  • 00:19:22.026 --> 00:19:24.095
  • They're watching.
  • 00:19:24.095 --> 00:19:25.463
  • They're alert."
  • 00:19:25.463 --> 00:19:26.797
  • Dump the lappers, take the cuppers.
  • 00:19:26.797 --> 00:19:28.366
  • That's not technically in the bible.
  • 00:19:28.366 --> 00:19:29.967
  • I'm just summarizing it so you'll remember.
  • 00:19:29.967 --> 00:19:33.538
  • So what is god looking for?
  • 00:19:33.538 --> 00:19:34.872
  • He's looking for people that are aware, who are alert.
  • 00:19:34.872 --> 00:19:37.842
  • Okay, now here's the battle plan.
  • 00:19:37.842 --> 00:19:39.677
  • So he ends up now with 300 men, 300 men.
  • 00:19:39.677 --> 00:19:43.814
  • He had 32,000, now he has 300.
  • 00:19:43.814 --> 00:19:46.050
  • "okay, here's the plan."
  • 00:19:46.050 --> 00:19:47.385
  • "okay, lord, what is it?"
  • 00:19:47.385 --> 00:19:49.086
  • "okay, you're going to take a torch, fire, and then you're
  • 00:19:49.086 --> 00:19:53.491
  • Going to take a trumpet.
  • 00:19:53.491 --> 00:19:55.259
  • So light the torch, put a clay pot around it, and run down the
  • 00:19:55.259 --> 00:19:59.597
  • Hill and say, 'for the lord and for gideon,' smash the clay pot,
  • 00:19:59.597 --> 00:20:04.068
  • And then blow your trumpet."
  • 00:20:04.068 --> 00:20:05.970
  • "yeah, okay, where do the swords come in?"
  • 00:20:05.970 --> 00:20:07.805
  • "no swords.
  • 00:20:07.805 --> 00:20:09.173
  • Shields, no.
  • 00:20:09.173 --> 00:20:10.741
  • Just run down the hill, crack your little pot, blow your
  • 00:20:10.741 --> 00:20:15.012
  • Little trumpet, and yell, 'for the lord and for gideon.'
  • 00:20:15.012 --> 00:20:18.649
  • That's the plan."
  • 00:20:18.649 --> 00:20:19.984
  • Okay, and as you know, the bible says, and all the israelites
  • 00:20:19.984 --> 00:20:23.454
  • Were murdered that day.
  • 00:20:23.454 --> 00:20:25.823
  • It doesn't say that.
  • 00:20:25.823 --> 00:20:27.458
  • What happens is the israelites obey god, they run down the
  • 00:20:27.458 --> 00:20:31.062
  • Hill, do the craziest thing you've ever heard, it's about as
  • 00:20:31.062 --> 00:20:34.532
  • Crazy as marching around jericho, maybe a little crazier,
  • 00:20:34.532 --> 00:20:38.202
  • And the midianites see these flames and they hear
  • 00:20:38.202 --> 00:20:42.273
  • These trumpets.
  • 00:20:42.273 --> 00:20:43.641
  • They think they're being attacked from all sides, they
  • 00:20:43.641 --> 00:20:45.610
  • Get disoriented, start attacking each other, and they kill
  • 00:20:45.610 --> 00:20:48.980
  • Themselves, and by the time the israelites arrive all of their
  • 00:20:48.980 --> 00:20:51.983
  • Enemy are dead.
  • 00:20:51.983 --> 00:20:54.085
  • So god got the glory for that.
  • 00:20:54.085 --> 00:20:56.187
  • This is crazy.
  • 00:20:56.187 --> 00:20:57.555
  • You can go ahead and applaud for that.
  • 00:20:57.555 --> 00:20:59.957
  • It's a bible story, applaud.
  • 00:20:59.957 --> 00:21:04.829
  • This would be like a pop warner team beating the buffalo bills
  • 00:21:04.829 --> 00:21:08.466
  • In a football game.
  • 00:21:08.466 --> 00:21:10.234
  • This would be like a little league team beating the
  • 00:21:10.234 --> 00:21:12.436
  • La dodgers.
  • 00:21:12.436 --> 00:21:13.971
  • How does something like this even happen?
  • 00:21:13.971 --> 00:21:16.340
  • Well, god did it, and we're in a battle.
  • 00:21:16.340 --> 00:21:19.210
  • If you like it or not, you're in a spiritual battle, and the only
  • 00:21:19.210 --> 00:21:24.015
  • Choice you have is are you going to fight or are you gonna lose?
  • 00:21:24.015 --> 00:21:27.718
  • Are you going to gain ground or are you going to lose ground?
  • 00:21:27.718 --> 00:21:30.688
  • "well, i'm like a pacifist, okay."
  • 00:21:30.688 --> 00:21:33.024
  • Okay, cool, but you're going to die, all right?
  • 00:21:33.024 --> 00:21:36.360
  • So you better put on the armor of god.
  • 00:21:36.360 --> 00:21:39.363
  • Ephesians 6 says you need to put on the helmet of salvation to
  • 00:21:39.363 --> 00:21:43.601
  • Protect your mind.
  • 00:21:43.601 --> 00:21:44.969
  • You need to put on the breastplate of righteousness.
  • 00:21:44.969 --> 00:21:48.439
  • You need to have your feet shod with the preparation of the
  • 00:21:48.439 --> 00:21:52.009
  • Gospel of peace, and most importantly, you need the sword
  • 00:21:52.009 --> 00:21:55.746
  • Of the spirit, which is the word of god, and this battle rages on
  • 00:21:55.746 --> 00:22:01.085
  • Every day, and it's not easy because as christians we're
  • 00:22:01.085 --> 00:22:05.122
  • Going to be misrepresented.
  • 00:22:05.122 --> 00:22:07.325
  • We're going to be attacked.
  • 00:22:07.325 --> 00:22:08.693
  • We're going to be criticized.
  • 00:22:08.693 --> 00:22:10.728
  • We're going to be slandered.
  • 00:22:10.728 --> 00:22:12.630
  • We possibly could even be killed.
  • 00:22:12.630 --> 00:22:15.499
  • Charlie kirk was an outspoken christian, and he died
  • 00:22:15.499 --> 00:22:19.670
  • Expressing his faith and his beliefs.
  • 00:22:19.670 --> 00:22:22.573
  • You say, "well, greg, you've kind of talked me out of wanting
  • 00:22:22.573 --> 00:22:24.975
  • To be a christian."
  • 00:22:24.975 --> 00:22:26.310
  • Well, i hope not because the christian faith is not only
  • 00:22:26.310 --> 00:22:29.680
  • Worth living for, it's worth dying for.
  • 00:22:29.680 --> 00:22:33.918
  • It really is.
  • 00:22:33.918 --> 00:22:35.252
  • [congregation applause]
  • 00:22:35.252 --> 00:22:40.424
  • "greg, could you do a message instead on how to be successful
  • 00:22:40.424 --> 00:22:44.095
  • In life and how to have perfect health and wealth?"
  • 00:22:44.095 --> 00:22:46.964
  • Sorry, i'm just telling you what the bible says, but here's
  • 00:22:46.964 --> 00:22:50.267
  • The deal.
  • 00:22:50.267 --> 00:22:51.602
  • We need to put our armor on and realize we're in a battle and
  • 00:22:51.602 --> 00:22:56.073
  • Trust the lord.
  • 00:22:56.073 --> 00:22:57.408
  • Why did the lord purge this army?
  • 00:22:57.408 --> 00:23:00.745
  • Because he didn't want any half-hearted people, and the
  • 00:23:00.745 --> 00:23:03.948
  • Problem is there's a lot of half-hearted people in the
  • 00:23:03.948 --> 00:23:07.318
  • Church today, and what's half-hearted?
  • 00:23:07.318 --> 00:23:08.986
  • It's kinda like, eh, i'm kind of in, i'm kind of out.
  • 00:23:08.986 --> 00:23:12.723
  • I'll go to church this sunday, maybe i won't next sunday, maybe
  • 00:23:12.723 --> 00:23:15.226
  • I won't for a whole month, then i'll come back and go--you know,
  • 00:23:15.226 --> 00:23:17.328
  • Just half-hearted.
  • 00:23:17.328 --> 00:23:18.696
  • I'll read the bible, maybe i won't read the bible.
  • 00:23:18.696 --> 00:23:20.631
  • I'll obey god here, maybe i won't obey god here.
  • 00:23:20.631 --> 00:23:23.300
  • I'll do this, i won't--you know, and you just sort of go through
  • 00:23:23.300 --> 00:23:26.871
  • Life doing it without a complete commitment, and god is looking
  • 00:23:26.871 --> 00:23:32.676
  • For people that are totally committed.
  • 00:23:32.676 --> 00:23:34.979
  • God can do more with 300 committed people than he can do
  • 00:23:34.979 --> 00:23:38.849
  • With 10,000 half-hearted followers.
  • 00:23:38.849 --> 00:23:42.920
  • Which one are you?
  • 00:23:42.920 --> 00:23:44.855
  • Are you a half-hearted person or are you a committed believer?
  • 00:23:44.855 --> 00:23:49.593
  • English evangelist john wesley once said, and i quote, "give me
  • 00:23:49.593 --> 00:23:53.130
  • 100 men who love god with all of their hearts and fear nothing
  • 00:23:53.130 --> 00:23:57.435
  • But sin, and i will move the world," end quote.
  • 00:23:57.435 --> 00:24:01.639
  • There's more than 100 here.
  • 00:24:01.639 --> 00:24:02.973
  • If i could find 100 men, 100 women, 200 in total, maybe 150
  • 00:24:02.973 --> 00:24:08.078
  • Of each, we could see our whole county, our state, our
  • 00:24:08.078 --> 00:24:12.249
  • Nation changed.
  • 00:24:12.249 --> 00:24:13.918
  • "who love god with all of their hearts and fear nothing
  • 00:24:13.918 --> 00:24:17.388
  • But sin."
  • 00:24:17.388 --> 00:24:19.256
  • I started my message by pointing out that things are upside down
  • 00:24:19.256 --> 00:24:23.227
  • In our culture, and there's a passage in the book of acts
  • 00:24:23.227 --> 00:24:27.731
  • Describing paul and silas, and wherever they went there was
  • 00:24:27.731 --> 00:24:31.335
  • Either a revival or a riot, and there was a criticism made of
  • 00:24:31.335 --> 00:24:35.973
  • Them when it says, "paul and silas have turned the rest of
  • 00:24:35.973 --> 00:24:40.344
  • The world upside down, and now they're here disturbing
  • 00:24:40.344 --> 00:24:43.747
  • Our city."
  • 00:24:43.747 --> 00:24:45.749
  • Lord, give us more disturbances like that.
  • 00:24:45.749 --> 00:24:48.819
  • They've already turned the world upside down.
  • 00:24:48.819 --> 00:24:50.754
  • Now they're disturbing us.
  • 00:24:50.754 --> 00:24:52.089
  • Oh, yes, 'cause our world is upside down.
  • 00:24:52.089 --> 00:24:54.658
  • We need to turn it right side up.
  • 00:24:54.658 --> 00:24:57.294
  • That's what paul and silas did.
  • 00:24:57.294 --> 00:24:59.330
  • That's what we need to do as well.
  • 00:24:59.330 --> 00:25:01.599
  • God is looking for men and women who will blow the trumpet, so to
  • 00:25:01.599 --> 00:25:05.569
  • Speak, men and women that will make us stand in their own
  • 00:25:05.569 --> 00:25:09.406
  • Homes, people who are willing to step out from the half-hearted,
  • 00:25:09.406 --> 00:25:13.077
  • Fickle multitudes and be true followers of jesus christ.
  • 00:25:13.077 --> 00:25:17.448
  • Would you be such a person, because if you will god will use
  • 00:25:17.448 --> 00:25:21.652
  • You to change your world because god can turn zeroes into heroes,
  • 00:25:21.652 --> 00:25:27.958
  • He can turn fear into faith, he can turn hiding into fighting,
  • 00:25:27.958 --> 00:25:32.096
  • And he can turn panic into purpose.
  • 00:25:32.096 --> 00:25:35.866
  • Greg: there are so many things to be worried about right now,
  • 00:25:40.104 --> 00:25:42.406
  • Aren't there?
  • 00:25:42.406 --> 00:25:43.741
  • The worrying about terrorism,
  • 00:25:43.741 --> 00:25:45.309
  • Worry about your personal safety, violent crime,
  • 00:25:45.309 --> 00:25:48.412
  • The economy, the list goes on.
  • 00:25:48.412 --> 00:25:50.447
  • Here's what the bible says, "don't worry about anything.
  • 00:25:50.447 --> 00:25:54.151
  • Pray about everything."
  • 00:25:54.151 --> 00:25:56.554
  • Turn your panic into prayer.
  • 00:25:56.554 --> 00:25:59.690
  • Jesus said, "come unto me, all of you that are laboring and are
  • 00:25:59.690 --> 00:26:02.793
  • Heavy laden, i will give you rest."
  • 00:26:02.793 --> 00:26:05.362
  • Give your burdens, give your problems over to god and let him
  • 00:26:05.362 --> 00:26:10.000
  • Give you his peace in your heart.
  • 00:26:10.000 --> 00:26:14.171
  • Let me send for you, at no charge, what i call a new
