Of you taking the time to watch the program. i'm teaching on the fruit
00:00:54.377 --> 00:00:55.879
To watch the program. i'm teaching on the fruit of the spirit right now.
00:00:55.945 --> 00:00:59.182
I'm teaching on the fruit of the spirit right now. you know, people can tell
00:00:59.249 --> 00:01:04.354
Us things, but it's what we see
00:01:04.420 --> 00:01:08.158
Us things, but it's what we see them do consistently,
00:01:08.224 --> 00:01:12.395
Us things, but it's what we see them do consistently, that really makes a difference
00:01:12.462 --> 00:01:15.965
Them do consistently, that really makes a difference in how we feel about them.
00:01:16.032 --> 00:01:17.367
That really makes a difference in how we feel about them. when you think about
00:01:17.433 --> 00:01:18.234
In how we feel about them. when you think about the character of god,
00:01:18.301 --> 00:01:22.038
When you think about the character of god, we trust his character because
00:01:22.105 --> 00:01:23.740
The character of god, we trust his character because we see him do the same thing
00:01:23.806 --> 00:01:26.109
We trust his character because we see him do the same thing over and over and over.
00:01:26.176 --> 00:01:30.246
We see him do the same thing over and over and over. he's faithful,
00:01:30.313 --> 00:01:31.147
Over and over and over. he's faithful, and we need to be faithful.
00:01:31.214 --> 00:01:34.617
He's faithful, and we need to be faithful. he's good,
00:01:34.684 --> 00:01:36.252
And we need to be faithful. he's good, we need to be good.
00:01:36.319 --> 00:01:38.555
He's good, we need to be good. and so, the fruit of humility
00:01:38.621 --> 00:01:43.593
We need to be good. and so, the fruit of humility is one of the nine
00:01:43.660 --> 00:01:44.394
And so, the fruit of humility is one of the nine fruit of the spirit.
00:01:44.460 --> 00:01:45.295
Is one of the nine fruit of the spirit. and it's probably one
00:01:45.361 --> 00:01:46.563
Fruit of the spirit. and it's probably one of the hardest ones for
00:01:46.629 --> 00:01:47.664
And it's probably one of the hardest ones for us to take in, because part
00:01:47.730 --> 00:01:53.236
Of the hardest ones for us to take in, because part of humility is recognizing
00:01:53.303 --> 00:01:55.838
Us to take in, because part of humility is recognizing when you're in pride.
00:01:55.905 --> 00:01:59.209
Of humility is recognizing when you're in pride. and that's probably
00:01:59.275 --> 00:02:00.143
When you're in pride. and that's probably one of the hardest
00:02:00.210 --> 00:02:00.877
And that's probably one of the hardest things to swallow.
00:02:00.944 --> 00:02:03.913
One of the hardest things to swallow. humility is being modest
00:02:03.980 --> 00:02:09.586
Things to swallow. humility is being modest and not thinking that you
00:02:09.652 --> 00:02:10.787
Humility is being modest and not thinking that you are better than other people.
00:02:10.853 --> 00:02:13.690
And not thinking that you are better than other people. and, you know, if you get
00:02:13.756 --> 00:02:15.491
Are better than other people. and, you know, if you get honest with yourself,
00:02:15.558 --> 00:02:18.695
And, you know, if you get honest with yourself, sometimes we do.
00:02:18.761 --> 00:02:21.264
Honest with yourself, sometimes we do. the devil will try to slip
00:02:21.331 --> 00:02:22.332
Sometimes we do. the devil will try to slip that thinking in, you know,
00:02:22.398 --> 00:02:25.468
The devil will try to slip that thinking in, you know, "well, i could do that faster
00:02:25.535 --> 00:02:26.836
That thinking in, you know, "well, i could do that faster than you're doing it.”
00:02:26.903 --> 00:02:29.772
"well, i could do that faster than you're doing it.” “i could do that better than
00:02:29.839 --> 00:02:30.773
Than you're doing it.” “i could do that better than you're doing it.”
00:02:30.840 --> 00:02:35.211
“i could do that better than you're doing it.” “well, that dress really
00:02:35.278 --> 00:02:36.346
You're doing it.” “well, that dress really looks stupid on you.”
00:02:36.412 --> 00:02:37.580
“well, that dress really looks stupid on you.” >> [audience laughing]
00:02:37.647 --> 00:02:40.049
Looks stupid on you.” >> [audience laughing] >> joyce: well, have you
00:02:40.116 --> 00:02:40.783
>> [audience laughing] >> joyce: well, have you looked in the mirror today?
00:02:40.850 --> 00:02:42.018
>> joyce: well, have you looked in the mirror today? >> [audience laughing]
00:02:42.085 --> 00:02:44.087
>> joyce: a modest view
00:02:44.721 --> 00:02:45.655
>> joyce: a modest view of your own importance.
00:02:45.722 --> 00:02:48.591
>> joyce: a modest view of your own importance. see these things, if we have
00:02:48.658 --> 00:02:52.996
Of your own importance. see these things, if we have a humble attitude, we find
00:02:53.062 --> 00:02:56.399
See these things, if we have a humble attitude, we find it easy to be good to other
00:02:56.466 --> 00:02:58.201
A humble attitude, we find it easy to be good to other people and to be merciful
00:02:58.268 --> 00:03:00.336
It easy to be good to other people and to be merciful and kind to them.
00:03:00.403 --> 00:03:02.105
People and to be merciful and kind to them. because we know that we're
00:03:02.171 --> 00:03:06.175
And kind to them. because we know that we're no better than anybody else,
00:03:06.242 --> 00:03:07.577
Because we know that we're no better than anybody else, that whatever we can do well,
00:03:07.644 --> 00:03:10.280
No better than anybody else, that whatever we can do well, it's only because god has given
00:03:10.346 --> 00:03:11.648
That whatever we can do well, it's only because god has given us the grace to do that.
00:03:11.714 --> 00:03:14.417
It's only because god has given us the grace to do that. and sometimes we're
00:03:14.484 --> 00:03:15.118
Us the grace to do that. and sometimes we're so impatient with people who
00:03:15.184 --> 00:03:17.687
Can't do what we do or who
00:03:17.754 --> 00:03:19.289
Can't do what we do or who can't do it the way we do it,
00:03:19.355 --> 00:03:21.124
Can't do what we do or who can't do it the way we do it, or as fast as we do it.
00:03:21.190 --> 00:03:22.458
Can't do it the way we do it, or as fast as we do it. and god wants us to know that
00:03:22.525 --> 00:03:26.729
Or as fast as we do it. and god wants us to know that whatever we're good at,
00:03:26.796 --> 00:03:27.630
And god wants us to know that whatever we're good at, it's only because he's given
00:03:27.697 --> 00:03:28.831
Whatever we're good at, it's only because he's given us the grace to be good at it,
00:03:28.898 --> 00:03:30.833
It's only because he's given us the grace to be good at it, and not to use it to think,
00:03:30.900 --> 00:03:32.802
Us the grace to be good at it, and not to use it to think, "oh, i'm better than you."
00:03:32.869 --> 00:03:34.604
And not to use it to think, "oh, i'm better than you." and really all of us have
00:03:34.671 --> 00:03:35.772
"oh, i'm better than you." and really all of us have to stand against this.
00:03:35.838 --> 00:03:37.507
And really all of us have to stand against this. you know, the last fruit
00:03:37.573 --> 00:03:38.508
To stand against this. you know, the last fruit of the spirit in the list
00:03:38.574 --> 00:03:40.343
You know, the last fruit of the spirit in the list of the fruit of the spirit
00:03:40.410 --> 00:03:41.411
Of the spirit in the list of the fruit of the spirit is self-control.
00:03:41.477 --> 00:03:43.413
Of the fruit of the spirit is self-control. and we're gonna talk
00:03:43.479 --> 00:03:44.947
Is self-control. and we're gonna talk about that one tomorrow.
00:03:45.014 --> 00:03:47.984
And we're gonna talk about that one tomorrow. because really none
00:03:48.051 --> 00:03:49.352
About that one tomorrow. because really none of the fruit--i look at it like
00:03:49.419 --> 00:03:51.554
Because really none of the fruit--i look at it like this: love is the first one
00:03:51.621 --> 00:03:52.722
Of the fruit--i look at it like this: love is the first one and self-control
00:03:52.789 --> 00:03:53.389
This: love is the first one and self-control is the last one.
00:03:53.456 --> 00:03:54.590
And self-control is the last one. so i look at ‘em like bookends.
00:03:54.657 --> 00:03:56.693
Is the last one. so i look at ‘em like bookends. all the fruit of the spirit
00:03:56.759 --> 00:03:57.894
So i look at ‘em like bookends. all the fruit of the spirit come out of love, but they're
00:03:57.960 --> 00:03:59.762
All the fruit of the spirit come out of love, but they're held in place by self-control.
00:03:59.829 --> 00:04:02.765
Come out of love, but they're held in place by self-control. how could i be patient
00:04:02.832 --> 00:04:05.335
Held in place by self-control. how could i be patient if i don't have any
00:04:05.401 --> 00:04:06.069
How could i be patient if i don't have any self-control?
00:04:06.135 --> 00:04:08.104
If i don't have any self-control? how can i be humble
00:04:08.171 --> 00:04:10.239
Self-control? how can i be humble if i don't have any control
00:04:10.306 --> 00:04:12.208
How can i be humble if i don't have any control over my thoughts?
00:04:12.275 --> 00:04:13.943
If i don't have any control over my thoughts? and so, i think that probably
00:04:14.010 --> 00:04:20.116
Over my thoughts? and so, i think that probably maintaining an attitude, a true
00:04:20.183 --> 00:04:22.018
And so, i think that probably maintaining an attitude, a true attitude of humility may be one
00:04:22.085 --> 00:04:24.854
Maintaining an attitude, a true attitude of humility may be one of the hardest things to do.
00:04:24.921 --> 00:04:27.290
Attitude of humility may be one of the hardest things to do. because the devil really
00:04:27.357 --> 00:04:29.625
Of the hardest things to do. because the devil really tries to put thoughts in our
00:04:29.692 --> 00:04:30.927
Because the devil really tries to put thoughts in our head that make us think,
00:04:30.993 --> 00:04:33.563
Tries to put thoughts in our head that make us think, "there's something wrong with
00:04:33.629 --> 00:04:34.430
Head that make us think, "there's something wrong with you because you're not like me.
00:04:34.497 --> 00:04:37.533
"there's something wrong with you because you're not like me. you're not doing it like me.
00:04:37.600 --> 00:04:39.402
You because you're not like me. you're not doing it like me. therefore what's
00:04:39.469 --> 00:04:40.470
You're not doing it like me. therefore what's wrong with you?"
00:04:40.536 --> 00:04:41.971
Therefore what's wrong with you?" you know that?
00:04:42.038 --> 00:04:48.678
Wrong with you?" you know that? if you're humble, you don't
00:04:48.745 --> 00:04:49.846
You know that? if you're humble, you don't feel the need to boast about
00:04:49.912 --> 00:04:51.514
If you're humble, you don't feel the need to boast about your accomplishments.
00:04:51.581 --> 00:04:55.218
Feel the need to boast about your accomplishments. you don't let success inflate
00:04:55.284 --> 00:04:56.919
Your accomplishments. you don't let success inflate your sense of self-importance.
00:04:56.986 --> 00:05:00.089
You don't let success inflate your sense of self-importance. you know how hard it is for
00:05:00.156 --> 00:05:01.257
Your sense of self-importance. you know how hard it is for god to give somebody really
00:05:01.324 --> 00:05:04.560
You know how hard it is for god to give somebody really tremendous success and them
00:05:04.627 --> 00:05:07.363
God to give somebody really tremendous success and them keep a humble attitude?
00:05:07.430 --> 00:05:12.368
Tremendous success and them keep a humble attitude? i heard this--maybe you've
00:05:12.435 --> 00:05:13.469
Keep a humble attitude? i heard this--maybe you've heard this statement:
00:05:13.536 --> 00:05:14.570
I heard this--maybe you've heard this statement: "it's yet to be seen what god
00:05:14.637 --> 00:05:16.105
Heard this statement: "it's yet to be seen what god could do through a man
00:05:16.172 --> 00:05:17.106
"it's yet to be seen what god could do through a man or a woman that would
00:05:17.173 --> 00:05:18.007
Could do through a man or a woman that would give him all the credit."
00:05:18.074 --> 00:05:24.313
Or a woman that would give him all the credit." giving up your own privilege
00:05:24.380 --> 00:05:25.882
Give him all the credit." giving up your own privilege in order to serve those
00:05:25.948 --> 00:05:27.417
Giving up your own privilege in order to serve those who have less than you.
00:05:27.483 --> 00:05:29.986
In order to serve those who have less than you. see, a lot of times people
00:05:30.052 --> 00:05:34.090
Who have less than you. see, a lot of times people who would be considered
00:05:34.157 --> 00:05:34.991
See, a lot of times people who would be considered great people, they won't
00:05:35.057 --> 00:05:37.226
Who would be considered great people, they won't lower themselves
00:05:37.293 --> 00:05:39.662
Great people, they won't lower themselves to do something that they
00:05:39.729 --> 00:05:40.563
Lower themselves to do something that they think would be beneath them.
00:05:40.630 --> 00:05:44.434
To do something that they think would be beneath them. and the disciples were arguing
00:05:44.500 --> 00:05:46.202
Think would be beneath them. and the disciples were arguing on the road about which
00:05:46.269 --> 00:05:47.236
And the disciples were arguing on the road about which of them was the greatest,
00:05:47.303 --> 00:05:48.404
On the road about which of them was the greatest, [laughing]
00:05:48.471 --> 00:05:49.639
Of them was the greatest, [laughing] imagine that.
00:05:49.705 --> 00:05:50.907
[laughing] imagine that. and jesus picked them
00:05:50.973 --> 00:05:51.941
Imagine that. and jesus picked them on purpose.
00:05:52.008 --> 00:05:52.642

For 30 pieces of silver. and he loved every one of ‘em and he loved ‘em till the last.

00:06:11.727 --> 00:06:12.962
He picked on purpose to carry his message to the rest of the world.
00:06:13.029 --> 00:06:13.763
His message to the rest of the world. so when we look at them,
00:06:13.830 --> 00:06:14.764
Of the world. so when we look at them, there's hope for all of us.

So when we look at them, there's hope for all of us. amen?
00:06:16.866 --> 00:06:21.904
There's hope for all of us. amen? but i think it always blesses
00:06:21.971 --> 00:06:25.708
Amen? but i think it always blesses me when i see a leader that
00:06:25.775 --> 00:06:29.412
But i think it always blesses me when i see a leader that is really good to the people
00:06:29.479 --> 00:06:31.047
Me when i see a leader that is really good to the people that work with him.
00:06:31.113 --> 00:06:33.516
Is really good to the people that work with him. or i don't like to use
00:06:33.583 --> 00:06:34.951
That work with him. or i don't like to use the word work "under" him,
00:06:35.017 --> 00:06:36.252
Or i don't like to use the word work "under" him, but--cause nobody's really
00:06:36.319 --> 00:06:37.720
The word work "under" him, but--cause nobody's really under while somebody
00:06:37.787 --> 00:06:40.156
But--cause nobody's really under while somebody else is on top.
00:06:40.223 --> 00:06:41.090
Under while somebody else is on top. but you know what i mean,
00:06:41.157 --> 00:06:42.124
Else is on top. but you know what i mean, somebody--they have authority
00:06:42.191 --> 00:06:43.759
But you know what i mean, somebody--they have authority over, they can treat
00:06:43.826 --> 00:06:45.127
Somebody--they have authority over, they can treat ‘em however they want to.
00:06:45.194 --> 00:06:47.263
Over, they can treat ‘em however they want to. and i think that,
00:06:47.330 --> 00:06:47.997
‘em however they want to. and i think that, that's probably one of the most
00:06:48.064 --> 00:06:49.565
And i think that, that's probably one of the most disgusting things to god
00:06:49.632 --> 00:06:50.967
That's probably one of the most disgusting things to god is when he gives somebody
00:06:51.033 --> 00:06:52.468
Disgusting things to god is when he gives somebody a place of importance
00:06:52.535 --> 00:06:54.637
Is when he gives somebody a place of importance or power or fame, and they
00:06:54.704 --> 00:07:00.510
A place of importance or power or fame, and they use that to hurt other people.
00:07:00.576 --> 00:07:04.313
Or power or fame, and they use that to hurt other people. when really they are
00:07:04.380 --> 00:07:05.248
Use that to hurt other people. when really they are in a position to help
00:07:05.314 --> 00:07:06.582
When really they are in a position to help other people.
00:07:06.649 --> 00:07:08.351
In a position to help other people. so, they genuinely care
00:07:08.417 --> 00:07:14.357

To all people. humble people are very thankful for their blessings.

Thankful for their blessings. you know, i think we'd be doing something amazing if we could
00:07:29.672 --> 00:07:30.806
You know, i think we'd be doing something amazing if we could get through one day without
00:07:30.873 --> 00:07:31.941
Something amazing if we could get through one day without complaining about anything.
00:07:32.008 --> 00:07:35.511
Get through one day without complaining about anything. it's amazing how many things
00:07:35.578 --> 00:07:37.146
Complaining about anything. it's amazing how many things we find to complain about.
00:07:37.213 --> 00:07:39.282
It's amazing how many things we find to complain about. and i think it would be a minor
00:07:39.348 --> 00:07:40.883
We find to complain about. and i think it would be a minor miracle if we got through
00:07:40.950 --> 00:07:41.951
And i think it would be a minor miracle if we got through a whole day without...
00:07:42.018 --> 00:07:44.787
I mean, i complained 'cause

00:07:57.567 --> 00:07:58.701
>> [audience laughing] >> joyce: pride is a feeling of superiority.
00:07:58.768 --> 00:08:03.973
>> joyce: pride is a feeling of superiority. feeling that you're

Of superiority. feeling that you're better than others.
00:08:05.274 --> 00:08:07.944
Feeling that you're better than others. in the christian tradition,
00:08:08.010 --> 00:08:10.813
Better than others. in the christian tradition, pride is a deadly sin that can
00:08:10.880 --> 00:08:14.083
Lead to rebellion against god.
00:08:14.150 --> 00:08:17.486
Lead to rebellion against god. pride is associated with satan
00:08:17.553 --> 00:08:21.057
Lead to rebellion against god. pride is associated with satan and the sin of adam and eve.
00:08:21.123 --> 00:08:25.061
Pride is associated with satan and the sin of adam and eve. it's an attitude
00:08:25.127 --> 00:08:25.928
And the sin of adam and eve. it's an attitude of self-sufficiency,
00:08:25.995 --> 00:08:29.365
It's an attitude of self-sufficiency, taking credit for what god
00:08:29.432 --> 00:08:31.834
Of self-sufficiency, taking credit for what god deserves the credit for.
00:08:31.901 --> 00:08:34.103
Taking credit for what god deserves the credit for. well, that's what pride is.
00:08:34.170 --> 00:08:36.072
Deserves the credit for. well, that's what pride is. humility is the opposite
00:08:36.138 --> 00:08:37.440
Well, that's what pride is. humility is the opposite of pride. [laughs]
00:08:37.506 --> 00:08:38.975
And proverbs 16:18 says that,
00:08:39.742 --> 00:08:41.477
And proverbs 16:18 says that, "pride goes before destruction."
00:08:41.544 --> 00:08:46.482
And proverbs 16:18 says that, "pride goes before destruction." god blesses the humble
00:08:46.549 --> 00:08:49.719
"pride goes before destruction." god blesses the humble and he lifts up and promotes
00:08:49.785 --> 00:08:54.423
God blesses the humble and he lifts up and promotes the humble.
00:08:54.490 --> 00:08:56.525
And he lifts up and promotes the humble. "humble yourself under
00:08:56.592 --> 00:08:57.493
The humble. "humble yourself under the mighty hand of god, for
00:08:57.560 --> 00:09:00.162
"humble yourself under the mighty hand of god, for in due time he will exalt you."
00:09:00.229 --> 00:09:04.333
We humble ourselves
00:09:04.400 --> 00:09:05.167
We humble ourselves and he exalts us.
00:09:05.234 --> 00:09:07.303
We humble ourselves and he exalts us. and then the next thing,
00:09:07.370 --> 00:09:08.638
And he exalts us. and then the next thing, that was 1 peter 5:6.
00:09:08.704 --> 00:09:11.307
And then the next thing, that was 1 peter 5:6. the next thing says,
00:09:11.374 --> 00:09:13.643
That was 1 peter 5:6. the next thing says, "casting all your care on him
00:09:13.709 --> 00:09:15.244
The next thing says, "casting all your care on him because he cares for you."
00:09:15.311 --> 00:09:17.213
"casting all your care on him because he cares for you." so that's kind of interesting.
00:09:17.279 --> 00:09:18.247
It's like, why does that
00:09:18.314 --> 00:09:20.449
It's like, why does that not worrying, come right
00:09:20.516 --> 00:09:21.751
It's like, why does that not worrying, come right after talking about humility?
00:09:21.817 --> 00:09:23.753
Not worrying, come right after talking about humility? because when we are worrying,
00:09:23.819 --> 00:09:27.857
After talking about humility? because when we are worrying, we actually are saying we think
00:09:27.923 --> 00:09:29.959
Because when we are worrying, we actually are saying we think we can solve our own problem.
00:09:30.026 --> 00:09:32.461
We actually are saying we think we can solve our own problem. and so he says, "you can humble
00:09:32.528 --> 00:09:35.131
We can solve our own problem. and so he says, "you can humble yourself by casting all
00:09:35.197 --> 00:09:36.499
And so he says, "you can humble yourself by casting all your care on me, because
00:09:36.565 --> 00:09:38.567
Yourself by casting all your care on me, because i will take care of you."
00:09:38.634 --> 00:09:43.205
Your care on me, because i will take care of you." well, i know people,
00:09:43.272 --> 00:09:44.040
I will take care of you." well, i know people, i'm sure you do too,
00:09:44.106 --> 00:09:45.041
Well, i know people, i'm sure you do too, that just--they seem to have
00:09:45.107 --> 00:09:48.511
I'm sure you do too, that just--they seem to have destruction all around ‘em.
00:09:48.577 --> 00:09:49.812
That just--they seem to have destruction all around ‘em. there's constantly something
00:09:49.879 --> 00:09:52.415
Destruction all around ‘em. there's constantly something going wrong in their life.
00:09:52.481 --> 00:09:56.152
There's constantly something going wrong in their life. and sometimes it might
00:09:56.218 --> 00:09:57.219
Going wrong in their life. and sometimes it might be a season where
00:09:57.286 --> 00:09:57.920
And sometimes it might be a season where the enemy's just attacking.
00:09:57.987 --> 00:10:00.222
Be a season where the enemy's just attacking. but sometimes it may
00:10:00.289 --> 00:10:01.457
The enemy's just attacking. but sometimes it may be a door that we have open.
00:10:01.524 --> 00:10:04.560
But sometimes it may be a door that we have open. and that door could be pride.
00:10:04.627 --> 00:10:07.863
Be a door that we have open. and that door could be pride. and god is trying to use
00:10:07.930 --> 00:10:09.298
And that door could be pride. and god is trying to use some of those things.
00:10:09.365 --> 00:10:11.534
And god is trying to use some of those things. he doesn't bring ‘em, but when
00:10:11.600 --> 00:10:14.570
Some of those things. he doesn't bring ‘em, but when we get ‘em, he'll use ‘em
00:10:14.637 --> 00:10:16.105
He doesn't bring ‘em, but when we get ‘em, he'll use ‘em to try to help us get better.
00:10:16.172 --> 00:10:19.642
We get ‘em, he'll use ‘em to try to help us get better. pride destroys us.
00:10:19.709 --> 00:10:21.077
To try to help us get better. pride destroys us. humility promotes us.
00:10:21.143 --> 00:10:24.714
Pride destroys us. humility promotes us. pride is actually something
00:10:24.780 --> 00:10:25.915
Humility promotes us. pride is actually something that god hates.
00:10:25.981 --> 00:10:27.483

00:13:02.771 --> 00:13:04.907
The bible says--
00:13:05.474 --> 00:13:07.810
The bible says-- the amplified bible says that
00:13:07.877 --> 00:13:09.778
The bible says-- the amplified bible says that pride is being, “puffed up”.
00:13:09.845 --> 00:13:15.784
The amplified bible says that pride is being, “puffed up”. humility means low lying
00:13:15.851 --> 00:13:17.486
Pride is being, “puffed up”. humility means low lying or to stay under.
00:13:17.553 --> 00:13:19.388

00:13:19.455 --> 00:13:20.489
Or to stay under. "humble yourself under the mighty hand of god,"
00:13:20.556 --> 00:13:22.691
"humble yourself under the mighty hand of god," or under authority.
00:13:22.758 --> 00:13:25.594
The mighty hand of god," or under authority. and more and more today,
00:13:25.661 --> 00:13:26.829
People are rebellious.
00:13:26.896 --> 00:13:27.663
People are rebellious. they don't want any kind
00:13:27.730 --> 00:13:28.831
People are rebellious. they don't want any kind of authority over them.
00:13:28.898 --> 00:13:31.200
They don't want any kind of authority over them. they wanna do their own thing.
00:13:31.267 --> 00:13:34.069
Of authority over them. they wanna do their own thing. everybody wants
00:13:34.136 --> 00:13:34.770
They wanna do their own thing. everybody wants to be their own boss.
00:13:34.837 --> 00:13:38.073
Everybody wants to be their own boss. and yet god tells us that
00:13:38.140 --> 00:13:39.375
To be their own boss. and yet god tells us that we should respect authority
00:13:39.441 --> 00:13:44.413
And yet god tells us that we should respect authority and humble ourselves under
00:13:44.480 --> 00:13:45.781
We should respect authority and humble ourselves under the authority that's over us.
00:13:45.848 --> 00:13:48.550
And humble ourselves under the authority that's over us. and probably one of the worst
00:13:48.617 --> 00:13:49.685
The authority that's over us. and probably one of the worst things you can do is talk badly.
00:13:49.752 --> 00:13:52.354
And those people are probably
00:13:53.355 --> 00:13:54.623
And those people are probably one of the ones we're gonna
00:13:54.690 --> 00:13:55.724
And those people are probably one of the ones we're gonna be tempted to think badly
00:13:55.791 --> 00:13:57.026
One of the ones we're gonna be tempted to think badly about more than others,
00:13:57.092 --> 00:13:58.027
Be tempted to think badly about more than others, is because they may tell
00:13:58.093 --> 00:14:00.095
About more than others, is because they may tell us to do something that
00:14:00.162 --> 00:14:00.863
Is because they may tell us to do something that we don't wanna do.
00:14:00.930 --> 00:14:02.064
Us to do something that we don't wanna do. and so then we yak, yak, yak
00:14:02.131 --> 00:14:03.332
We don't wanna do. and so then we yak, yak, yak to somebody else and they
00:14:03.399 --> 00:14:04.300
And so then we yak, yak, yak to somebody else and they yak, yak, yak to somebody else,
00:14:04.366 --> 00:14:06.035
To somebody else and they yak, yak, yak to somebody else, and then we have strife.
00:14:06.101 --> 00:14:08.871
Yak, yak, yak to somebody else, and then we have strife. meek is such a wonderful word.
00:14:08.938 --> 00:14:12.541
Meek is another word
00:14:15.711 --> 00:14:16.779
Meek is another word for being humble.
00:14:16.845 --> 00:14:18.681
Meek is another word for being humble. and the world does--
00:14:18.747 --> 00:14:23.319
For being humble. and the world does-- when you think of meekness,
00:14:23.385 --> 00:14:25.754
And the world does-- when you think of meekness, they think of weakness
00:14:25.821 --> 00:14:26.655
When you think of meekness, they think of weakness or somebody who lets
00:14:26.722 --> 00:14:27.723
They think of weakness or somebody who lets everybody walk all over them.
00:14:27.790 --> 00:14:29.658
Or somebody who lets everybody walk all over them. but that's not what
00:14:29.725 --> 00:14:30.292
Everybody walk all over them. but that's not what it means at all.
00:14:30.359 --> 00:14:31.293
You know, when the religious
00:14:32.127 --> 00:14:37.533
You know, when the religious pharisees and scribes came
00:14:37.599 --> 00:14:38.901
You know, when the religious pharisees and scribes came to get jesus to take him
00:14:38.968 --> 00:14:43.272
Pharisees and scribes came to get jesus to take him to be punished and start
00:14:43.339 --> 00:14:47.042
To get jesus to take him to be punished and start the walk toward crucifixion.
00:14:47.109 --> 00:14:49.545
Peter always had an answer
00:14:49.611 --> 00:14:54.717
Peter always had an answer for everything, so he thought.
00:14:54.783 --> 00:14:56.285
Peter always had an answer for everything, so he thought. and so he quickly took out
00:14:56.352 --> 00:14:59.021
For everything, so he thought. and so he quickly took out his sword and he cut off one
00:14:59.088 --> 00:15:00.622
And so he quickly took out his sword and he cut off one of the religious guy's ear.
00:15:00.689 --> 00:15:06.028
His sword and he cut off one of the religious guy's ear. and jesus put it back on,
00:15:06.095 --> 00:15:08.931
Of the religious guy's ear. and jesus put it back on, and healed it.
00:15:08.998 --> 00:15:10.833
And jesus put it back on, and healed it. and he said to peter,
00:15:10.899 --> 00:15:12.568
And healed it. and he said to peter, don't you know that
00:15:12.634 --> 00:15:15.170
And he said to peter, don't you know that if i wanted to, i could call
00:15:15.237 --> 00:15:16.538
Don't you know that if i wanted to, i could call 12 legions of angels,
00:15:16.605 --> 00:15:20.376
If i wanted to, i could call 12 legions of angels, but if i don't do this,
00:15:20.442 --> 00:15:21.643
12 legions of angels, but if i don't do this, then god's will,
00:15:21.710 --> 00:15:22.511
But if i don't do this, then god's will, will not be accomplished.
00:15:22.578 --> 00:15:24.346
Then god's will, will not be accomplished. so there's an example of he was
00:15:24.413 --> 00:15:27.516
Strong enough to do anything
00:15:27.583 --> 00:15:28.484
Strong enough to do anything he wanted to, but he was
00:15:28.550 --> 00:15:30.319
Strong enough to do anything he wanted to, but he was humble enough to stay under
00:15:30.386 --> 00:15:33.455
He wanted to, but he was humble enough to stay under the hand of god.
00:15:33.522 --> 00:15:34.323
Humble enough to stay under the hand of god. even though he knew it was
00:15:34.390 --> 00:15:35.858
The hand of god. even though he knew it was gonna mean a tremendous amount
00:15:35.924 --> 00:15:37.559
Even though he knew it was gonna mean a tremendous amount of pain to him, he stayed under
00:15:37.626 --> 00:15:40.029
Gonna mean a tremendous amount of pain to him, he stayed under the hand of god in order
00:15:40.095 --> 00:15:43.265
Of pain to him, he stayed under the hand of god in order that god's will might be done.

00:15:48.537 --> 00:15:50.572
That god's will might be done. meek means gentle and mild. it is said of christ's
00:15:50.639 --> 00:15:51.540

00:15:51.607 --> 00:15:54.043
It is said of christ's own disposition. it is to be the adornment
00:15:54.109 --> 00:15:56.345
Own disposition. it is to be the adornment of the christian.
00:15:56.412 --> 00:15:58.213

00:15:59.248 --> 00:16:00.049
It is the opposite of self-interest and self-assertiveness.
00:16:00.115 --> 00:16:01.784
Of self-interest and self-assertiveness. it is an inwrought
00:16:01.850 --> 00:16:02.785
And self-assertiveness. it is an inwrought grace of the soul.
00:16:02.851 --> 00:16:04.453
It is an inwrought grace of the soul. and its exercises
00:16:04.520 --> 00:16:05.487
Grace of the soul. and its exercises are chiefly toward god.
00:16:05.554 --> 00:16:10.025
And its exercises are chiefly toward god. the temper of spirit in which

The temper of spirit in which we accept his dealings as good, and therefore, without
00:16:13.028 --> 00:16:13.929
We accept his dealings as good, and therefore, without disputing or resisting.
00:16:13.996 --> 00:16:16.298
And therefore, without disputing or resisting. "well, i don't understand god.
00:16:16.365 --> 00:16:17.599
Disputing or resisting. "well, i don't understand god. why is this happening to me?"
00:16:17.666 --> 00:16:19.201
It's funny that we don't have
00:16:19.568 --> 00:16:20.569
It's funny that we don't have any trouble understanding when
00:16:20.636 --> 00:16:21.804
It's funny that we don't have any trouble understanding when it happens to somebody else.
00:16:21.870 --> 00:16:24.273

Cannot be before god if you won't humble yourself before men.
00:16:37.152 --> 00:16:38.987
If you won't humble yourself before men. so god lets us practice
00:16:39.054 --> 00:16:40.255
Yourself before men. so god lets us practice on each other, so we can
00:16:40.322 --> 00:16:42.691
So god lets us practice on each other, so we can finally get to the point where
00:16:42.758 --> 00:16:43.859

00:17:54.196 --> 00:17:57.499
Giving god all the credit, praising god, he was at rest, and everything he laid
00:17:57.566 --> 00:17:58.400
Praising god, he was at rest, and everything he laid his hand to prospered.
00:17:58.467 --> 00:17:59.968
And everything he laid his hand to prospered. now, 30 verses later,
00:18:00.035 --> 00:18:04.940
His hand to prospered. now, 30 verses later, and i don't know exactly how
00:18:05.007 --> 00:18:08.010
Now, 30 verses later, and i don't know exactly how long it takes to make 30 verses
00:18:08.076 --> 00:18:09.745
And i don't know exactly how long it takes to make 30 verses in the bible, but...
00:18:09.811 --> 00:18:10.746
Long it takes to make 30 verses in the bible, but... >> [audience laughing]
00:18:10.812 --> 00:18:12.314
In the bible, but... >> [audience laughing] >> joyce: this seems like it was
00:18:12.381 --> 00:18:13.448
>> [audience laughing] >> joyce: this seems like it was pretty quick, about 12 months.
00:18:13.515 --> 00:18:15.117
The king said--well,
00:18:16.518 --> 00:18:19.655
The king said--well, “at the end of the 12 months...”
00:18:19.721 --> 00:18:21.356
The king said--well, “at the end of the 12 months...” yeah, so it was 12 months.
00:18:21.423 --> 00:18:22.925
“at the end of the 12 months...” yeah, so it was 12 months. “he was walking in the royal
00:18:22.991 --> 00:18:24.693
Yeah, so it was 12 months. “he was walking in the royal palace of babylon.
00:18:24.760 --> 00:18:25.928
“he was walking in the royal palace of babylon. the king said, "is not this
00:18:25.994 --> 00:18:27.796
Palace of babylon. the king said, "is not this the great babylon that i have
00:18:27.863 --> 00:18:29.431
The king said, "is not this the great babylon that i have built as the royal residence
00:18:29.498 --> 00:18:32.534
The great babylon that i have built as the royal residence and seat of government
00:18:32.601 --> 00:18:33.869
Built as the royal residence and seat of government by the might of my power
00:18:33.936 --> 00:18:35.304
And seat of government by the might of my power and for the honor and glory
00:18:35.370 --> 00:18:37.973
By the might of my power and for the honor and glory of my majesty?"
00:18:38.040 --> 00:18:40.209
And for the honor and glory of my majesty?" see, he started out okay,
00:18:40.275 --> 00:18:43.345
Of my majesty?" see, he started out okay, but then the more power he got,
00:18:43.412 --> 00:18:47.249
See, he started out okay, but then the more power he got, the more full of himself he got.
00:18:47.316 --> 00:18:49.751
But then the more power he got, the more full of himself he got. and now he went from giving
00:18:49.818 --> 00:18:52.087
The more full of himself he got. and now he went from giving god all the credit, to now
00:18:52.154 --> 00:18:54.389
And now he went from giving god all the credit, to now it was he that did everything.
00:18:54.456 --> 00:19:00.629
God all the credit, to now it was he that did everything. "while the words were still
00:19:00.696 --> 00:19:02.030
It was he that did everything. "while the words were still in the king's mouth, there fell
00:19:02.097 --> 00:19:04.233
"while the words were still in the king's mouth, there fell a voice from heaven, saying,
00:19:04.299 --> 00:19:05.567
In the king's mouth, there fell a voice from heaven, saying, 'o king nebuchadnezzar,
00:19:05.634 --> 00:19:07.302
A voice from heaven, saying, 'o king nebuchadnezzar, to you it is spoken:
00:19:07.369 --> 00:19:08.637
'o king nebuchadnezzar, to you it is spoken: the kingdom has departed
00:19:08.704 --> 00:19:09.938
To you it is spoken: the kingdom has departed from you this day.'"
00:19:10.005 --> 00:19:13.842
See, i'll tell you, it can take
00:19:13.909 --> 00:19:17.579
See, i'll tell you, it can take a long time to build something
00:19:17.646 --> 00:19:20.315
See, i'll tell you, it can take a long time to build something that can fall in one day.
00:19:20.382 --> 00:19:24.319
A long time to build something that can fall in one day. that's why we see some of these
00:19:24.386 --> 00:19:26.054
That can fall in one day. that's why we see some of these situations with different
00:19:26.121 --> 00:19:28.323
That's why we see some of these situations with different ministries that take place
00:19:28.390 --> 00:19:30.292
Situations with different ministries that take place at different times.
00:19:30.359 --> 00:19:31.159
Ministries that take place at different times. it's like, they're growing
00:19:31.226 --> 00:19:33.629
At different times. it's like, they're growing and they get bigger and bigger,
00:19:33.695 --> 00:19:34.763
It's like, they're growing and they get bigger and bigger, and, oh, everybody admires
00:19:34.830 --> 00:19:37.399
And they get bigger and bigger, and, oh, everybody admires them and they're doing so good.
00:19:37.466 --> 00:19:38.400
And, oh, everybody admires them and they're doing so good. and then all of a sudden you
00:19:38.467 --> 00:19:39.401
Them and they're doing so good. and then all of a sudden you find out something they've
00:19:39.468 --> 00:19:41.169
And then all of a sudden you find out something they've been doing behind the scenes
00:19:41.236 --> 00:19:42.404
Find out something they've been doing behind the scenes all the time, and in a day that
00:19:42.471 --> 00:19:46.908
Been doing behind the scenes all the time, and in a day that ministry can be destroyed.
00:19:46.975 --> 00:19:50.145
All the time, and in a day that ministry can be destroyed. i'll tell you what,
00:19:50.212 --> 00:19:52.547
Ministry can be destroyed. i'll tell you what, having power over people
00:19:52.614 --> 00:19:55.851
I'll tell you what, having power over people should be frightening.
00:19:55.917 --> 00:19:58.887
Having power over people should be frightening. it should keep us on our face
00:19:58.954 --> 00:20:00.455
Should be frightening. it should keep us on our face all the time saying,
00:20:00.522 --> 00:20:02.357
It should keep us on our face all the time saying, "god, keep my heart right
00:20:02.424 --> 00:20:03.558
All the time saying, "god, keep my heart right and always let me treat
00:20:03.625 --> 00:20:05.560
"god, keep my heart right and always let me treat everybody right and know
00:20:05.627 --> 00:20:07.529
And always let me treat everybody right and know that they're all your people.
00:20:07.596 --> 00:20:10.098
Everybody right and know that they're all your people. and if you've given me any
00:20:10.165 --> 00:20:13.035
That they're all your people. and if you've given me any amount of authority over them,
00:20:13.101 --> 00:20:17.306
And if you've given me any amount of authority over them, don't let me get the big head."
00:20:17.372 --> 00:20:20.409
Amount of authority over them, don't let me get the big head." yeah, i think to stay humble,
00:20:20.475 --> 00:20:22.044
Don't let me get the big head." yeah, i think to stay humble, you have to pray about
00:20:22.110 --> 00:20:22.911
Yeah, i think to stay humble, you have to pray about it on a regular basis.
00:20:22.978 --> 00:20:24.046
You have to pray about it on a regular basis. you can't just assume it.
00:20:24.112 --> 00:20:27.716
It on a regular basis. you can't just assume it. and so he lost everything
00:20:27.783 --> 00:20:31.420
You can't just assume it. and so he lost everything that he had in that short
00:20:31.486 --> 00:20:36.124
And so he lost everything that he had in that short period of time.
00:20:36.191 --> 00:20:37.693
Saul also had the same
00:20:41.663 --> 00:20:43.932
Saul also had the same type of experience.
00:20:43.999 --> 00:20:46.001
Saul also had the same type of experience. “early in the morning,”
00:20:46.068 --> 00:20:46.868
Type of experience. “early in the morning,” saul got up--“samuel got up
00:20:46.935 --> 00:20:49.571
“early in the morning,” saul got up--“samuel got up and went to meet saul,
00:20:49.638 --> 00:20:51.173
Saul got up--“samuel got up and went to meet saul, but he was told,
00:20:51.239 --> 00:20:51.973
And went to meet saul, but he was told, "saul has gone to carmel.
00:20:52.040 --> 00:20:55.410
But he was told, "saul has gone to carmel. there he has set up a monument
00:20:55.477 --> 00:20:57.212
"saul has gone to carmel. there he has set up a monument in his own honor..."

If you pulled up out here and i had a big joyce monument in the front?
00:21:07.689 --> 00:21:08.390
And i had a big joyce monument in the front? >> [audience laughing]
00:21:08.457 --> 00:21:11.927

00:21:20.435 --> 00:21:23.038
Samuel said to saul: "when you were small in your own sight, were you not made the head
00:21:23.105 --> 00:21:24.773
Were small in your own sight, were you not made the head of the tribes of israel,
00:21:24.840 --> 00:21:27.609
Were you not made the head of the tribes of israel, and the lord anointed
00:21:27.676 --> 00:21:28.677
Of the tribes of israel, and the lord anointed you king over israel?"
00:21:28.744 --> 00:21:31.913
And the lord anointed you king over israel?" when you were small in your
00:21:31.980 --> 00:21:32.981
You king over israel?" when you were small in your own sight, god promoted you.
00:21:33.048 --> 00:21:37.252
When you were small in your own sight, god promoted you. but he also lost out in one day.
00:21:37.319 --> 00:21:39.921
Own sight, god promoted you. but he also lost out in one day. and there's example, example
00:21:39.988 --> 00:21:42.424
But he also lost out in one day. and there's example, example after example like this
00:21:42.491 --> 00:21:43.759
And there's example, example after example like this all through the bible.
00:21:43.825 --> 00:21:45.360
After example like this all through the bible. peter, good ol' peter,
00:21:45.427 --> 00:21:47.796
All through the bible. peter, good ol' peter, i just love peter.
00:21:47.863 --> 00:21:49.698
Peter, good ol' peter, i just love peter. peter gives me hope.
00:21:49.765 --> 00:21:53.168
I just love peter. peter gives me hope. can you imagine rebuking jesus
00:21:53.235 --> 00:21:58.106
Peter gives me hope. can you imagine rebuking jesus when jesus said, you know,
00:21:58.173 --> 00:21:59.708
Can you imagine rebuking jesus when jesus said, you know, the time's coming for me
00:21:59.775 --> 00:22:00.909
When jesus said, you know, the time's coming for me to go to jerusalem and suffer
00:22:00.976 --> 00:22:04.413
The time's coming for me to go to jerusalem and suffer and that i'll be crucified?
00:22:04.479 --> 00:22:07.282
And peter said, "no, no, lord,
00:22:07.349 --> 00:22:12.487
And peter said, "no, no, lord, this must never happen to you."
00:22:12.554 --> 00:22:15.490
And peter said, "no, no, lord, this must never happen to you." and jesus said,
00:22:15.557 --> 00:22:16.358
This must never happen to you." and jesus said, "get behind me, satan!
00:22:16.425 --> 00:22:18.427
And jesus said, "get behind me, satan! you're...[an offense and
00:22:18.493 --> 00:22:19.194
"get behind me, satan! you're...[an offense and a hindrance...] and you are
00:22:19.261 --> 00:22:20.095
You're...[an offense and a hindrance...] and you are in my way because you're not
00:22:20.162 --> 00:22:22.431
A hindrance...] and you are in my way because you're not caring about the things
00:22:22.497 --> 00:22:23.498
In my way because you're not caring about the things of god, but only what
00:22:23.565 --> 00:22:26.268
Caring about the things of god, but only what feels good to you."
00:22:26.334 --> 00:22:28.437
And peter loved jesus,
00:22:28.503 --> 00:22:30.338
And peter loved jesus, but he was just full of himself.
00:22:30.405 --> 00:22:34.042
And peter loved jesus, but he was just full of himself. and so he really gives me hope,
00:22:34.109 --> 00:22:36.077
But he was just full of himself. and so he really gives me hope, because if peter can make it,
00:22:36.144 --> 00:22:40.715
And so he really gives me hope, because if peter can make it, any of us can.
00:22:40.782 --> 00:22:42.317
Because if peter can make it, any of us can. and then when jesus was
00:22:42.384 --> 00:22:43.518
Any of us can. and then when jesus was resurrected from the dead
00:22:43.585 --> 00:22:45.220
And then when jesus was resurrected from the dead and mary was at the tomb.
00:22:45.287 --> 00:22:52.027
Jesus met her there and he said,
00:22:52.093 --> 00:22:54.996
Jesus met her there and he said, "go and tell my disciples
00:22:55.063 --> 00:22:57.132
Jesus met her there and he said, "go and tell my disciples and peter...he has risen."
00:22:57.199 --> 00:23:01.203
Peter was the only one
00:23:01.269 --> 00:23:02.070
Peter was the only one he mentioned by name.
00:23:02.137 --> 00:23:03.538
Peter was the only one he mentioned by name. now, what a relief that must
00:23:03.605 --> 00:23:04.906
He mentioned by name. now, what a relief that must have been to peter, you know.
00:23:04.973 --> 00:23:07.242
Now, what a relief that must have been to peter, you know. and peter, he especially

And peter, he especially mentioned you and said to tell you he has risen.

Mentioned you and said to tell you he has risen. so, father, we pray that you

And help us not to ever mistreat anybody. and if we do, let us know it,

Mistreat anybody. and if we do, let us know it, and let us repent quickly.
00:23:24.593 --> 00:23:27.395
And if we do, let us know it, and let us repent quickly. we ask it in jesus' name.

And let us repent quickly. we ask it in jesus' name. amen.

>> announcer: fruit takes time. it grows through care
00:23:35.504 --> 00:23:36.471
It grows through care and connection.
00:23:36.538 --> 00:23:38.106
And connection. like the branch clings
00:23:38.173 --> 00:23:39.407
Like the branch clings to the vine for life,
00:23:39.474 --> 00:23:40.442
To the vine for life, we too, must stay
00:23:40.509 --> 00:23:41.610
We too, must stay attached to the vine.
00:23:41.676 --> 00:23:43.111
Attached to the vine. cut off, growth fades,

Cut off, growth fades, and the fruit never comes.

And the fruit never comes. >> joyce: in john 15,

Jesus speaks clearly: "i am the vine,

"i am the vine, you are the branches.
00:23:50.585 --> 00:23:52.087
You are the branches.

You will bear much fruit." that fruit is the fruit
00:23:56.825 --> 00:23:57.959
That fruit is the fruit of the spirit: love, joy, peace,
00:23:58.026 --> 00:24:00.362
Of the spirit: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness,
00:24:00.428 --> 00:24:02.931
Patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,

Gentleness, and self-control.

And self-control. when we receive jesus,

When we receive jesus, we receive the fruit

We receive the fruit of the spirit.
00:24:08.703 --> 00:24:09.404
