00:06:49.122 --> 00:06:50.991
I'm reading from judges 17,
00:06:54.695 --> 00:06:57.130
I'm reading from judges 17, i'll begin reading with verse 6.
00:06:57.197 --> 00:06:59.433
I'll begin reading with verse 6. judges 17, “in those days
00:06:59.500 --> 00:07:02.803
Judges 17, “in those days there were no kings in israel
00:07:02.870 --> 00:07:05.339
There were no kings in israel everyone did what was
00:07:05.405 --> 00:07:06.373
Everyone did what was right in his own eyes.“
00:07:06.440 --> 00:07:10.511
Right in his own eyes.“ that's a dangerous time
00:07:10.577 --> 00:07:11.778
That's a dangerous time in a nation,
00:07:11.845 --> 00:07:12.679
In a nation, when everybody does what
00:07:12.746 --> 00:07:14.314
When everybody does what was right and we don't
00:07:14.381 --> 00:07:15.516
Was right and we don't have a king named jesus.
00:07:15.582 --> 00:07:21.989
Have a king named jesus. and now, there was a young man
00:07:22.055 --> 00:07:24.258
And now, there was a young man from bethlehem, in judah,
00:07:24.324 --> 00:07:27.628
From bethlehem, in judah, of the family of judah,"
00:07:27.694 --> 00:07:29.396
Of the family of judah," notice it mentions his family.
00:07:29.463 --> 00:07:32.432
Notice it mentions his family. he was a levite, which means
00:07:32.499 --> 00:07:33.834
He was a levite, which means he's in the lineage of priests
00:07:33.901 --> 00:07:36.537
He's in the lineage of priests and he started staying there.
00:07:36.603 --> 00:07:38.839
And he started staying there. "and the man departed
00:07:38.906 --> 00:07:39.506
"and the man departed from the city of bethlehem
00:07:39.573 --> 00:07:40.507
From the city of bethlehem to judah to stay
00:07:40.574 --> 00:07:42.876
To judah to stay wherever they could find
00:07:42.943 --> 00:07:43.944
Wherever they could find a place and then he came
00:07:44.011 --> 00:07:45.145
A place and then he came to the mountains of ephraim
00:07:45.212 --> 00:07:46.413
To the mountains of ephraim and the house of micah,
00:07:46.480 --> 00:07:48.148
And the house of micah, as he journeyed,"
00:07:48.215 --> 00:07:50.083
As he journeyed," or some translations say,
00:07:50.150 --> 00:07:52.386
Or some translations say, “so journeyed.”
00:07:52.452 --> 00:07:53.020
“so journeyed.” that's an interesting word.
00:07:53.086 --> 00:07:55.689
That's an interesting word. "and micah said to him,
00:07:55.756 --> 00:07:56.390
"and micah said to him, 'where do you come from?'
00:07:56.456 --> 00:07:57.791
'where do you come from?' she said to him,
00:07:57.858 --> 00:07:58.692
She said to him, 'i am a levite
00:07:58.759 --> 00:08:00.260
'i am a levite from bethlehem in judah.
00:08:00.327 --> 00:08:02.896
From bethlehem in judah. and i am on my way
00:08:02.963 --> 00:08:03.997
And i am on my way somewhere else,'
00:08:04.064 --> 00:08:04.932
Somewhere else,' is what he's saying,
00:08:04.998 --> 00:08:05.899
Is what he's saying, 'to find a place to stay.'
00:08:05.966 --> 00:08:10.170
'to find a place to stay.' micah said to him,
00:08:10.237 --> 00:08:11.805
Micah said to him, 'dwell with me.
00:08:11.872 --> 00:08:14.675
'dwell with me. dwell with me and be a father
00:08:14.741 --> 00:08:17.444
Dwell with me and be a father and a priest to me,
00:08:17.511 --> 00:08:18.278
And a priest to me, and i will give you ten
00:08:18.345 --> 00:08:19.413
And i will give you ten shekels of silver per year,
00:08:19.479 --> 00:08:22.316
Shekels of silver per year, a suit of clothes
00:08:22.382 --> 00:08:23.951
A suit of clothes and your substance.'
00:08:24.017 --> 00:08:26.386
And your substance.' shelter, food.
00:08:26.453 --> 00:08:27.821
Shelter, food. so the levite when in.
00:08:27.888 --> 00:08:30.457
So the levite when in. the levite, notice
00:08:30.524 --> 00:08:31.425
The levite, notice the big word was, “content.”
00:08:31.491 --> 00:08:34.962
The big word was, “content.” he was content
00:08:35.028 --> 00:08:35.929
He was content to dwell with a man.
00:08:35.996 --> 00:08:38.332
To dwell with a man. and the young man became like
00:08:38.398 --> 00:08:40.834
And the young man became like one of his sons to him.
00:08:40.901 --> 00:08:44.304
One of his sons to him. so micah consecrated the levite
00:08:44.371 --> 00:08:45.872
So micah consecrated the levite and the young man became
00:08:45.939 --> 00:08:46.773
And the young man became the priest and lived
00:08:46.840 --> 00:08:48.408
The priest and lived in the house of micah.
00:08:48.475 --> 00:08:51.445
In the house of micah. then micah said, 'now i know
00:08:51.511 --> 00:08:53.246
Then micah said, 'now i know that the lord will be good
00:08:53.313 --> 00:08:54.514
That the lord will be good to me since i have
00:08:54.581 --> 00:08:55.349
To me since i have a levite as a priest.'"
00:08:55.415 --> 00:08:59.252
A levite as a priest.'" you read the next chapter
00:08:59.319 --> 00:09:00.120
You read the next chapter and he sets up a idol
00:09:00.187 --> 00:09:02.789
And he sets up a idol in his house.
00:09:02.856 --> 00:09:04.324
In his house. started worshipping it
00:09:04.391 --> 00:09:05.258
Started worshipping it and he said,
00:09:05.325 --> 00:09:06.026
And he said, “it will be alright.
00:09:06.093 --> 00:09:07.594
“it will be alright. it will be alright.
00:09:07.661 --> 00:09:09.563
It will be alright. i've got me a hired priest.
00:09:09.630 --> 00:09:13.667
I've got me a hired priest. it doesn't matter how
00:09:13.734 --> 00:09:14.301
It doesn't matter how i worship or who i worship
00:09:14.368 --> 00:09:15.736
I worship or who i worship or what i worship.
00:09:15.802 --> 00:09:19.006
Or what i worship. i can worship idols.
00:09:19.072 --> 00:09:21.441
I can worship idols. i have hired me a priest
00:09:21.508 --> 00:09:23.243
I have hired me a priest from bethlehem, judah."
00:09:23.310 --> 00:09:27.347
From bethlehem, judah." and in that moment,
00:09:27.414 --> 00:09:28.615
And in that moment, this man had to make
00:09:28.682 --> 00:09:29.950
This man had to make a decision, was he going to,
00:09:30.017 --> 00:09:35.122
A decision, was he going to, was he going to basically
00:09:35.188 --> 00:09:36.590
Was he going to basically sell out his faith that
00:09:36.657 --> 00:09:41.962
Sell out his faith that he knew was right
00:09:42.029 --> 00:09:45.098
He knew was right to worship another god?
00:09:45.165 --> 00:09:50.504
To worship another god? for contentment, for security
00:09:50.570 --> 00:09:53.206
For contentment, for security for ten shekels of silver
00:09:53.273 --> 00:09:55.342
For ten shekels of silver per year, a change of clothes?
00:09:55.409 --> 00:10:02.549
Per year, a change of clothes? and in some bibles,
00:10:02.616 --> 00:10:03.917
And in some bibles, it says over that section,
00:10:03.984 --> 00:10:09.256
It says over that section, when the priest became
00:10:09.322 --> 00:10:11.291
When the priest became a professional.
00:10:11.358 --> 00:10:16.329
A professional. and i'm preaching today on,
00:10:16.396 --> 00:10:18.598
And i'm preaching today on, “i refuse to be
00:10:18.665 --> 00:10:20.000
“i refuse to be a professional.”
00:10:20.067 --> 00:10:22.035
A professional.” because we're new testament
00:10:22.102 --> 00:10:23.336
Because we're new testament priests, you are and i am.
00:10:23.403 --> 00:10:25.338
Priests, you are and i am. you think the preacher is
00:10:25.405 --> 00:10:26.373
You think the preacher is the only one that's a priest,
00:10:26.440 --> 00:10:27.674
The only one that's a priest, but the bible said in
00:10:27.741 --> 00:10:28.675
But the bible said in the book of revelation,
00:10:28.742 --> 00:10:29.710
The book of revelation, “we're all kings
00:10:29.776 --> 00:10:30.711
“we're all kings and priests unto our god.
00:10:30.777 --> 00:10:33.747
And priests unto our god. and sooner or later,
00:10:33.814 --> 00:10:34.448
And sooner or later, you're gonna have to make
00:10:34.514 --> 00:10:35.282
You're gonna have to make the same decision that
00:10:35.348 --> 00:10:36.717
The same decision that this young man had to make.
00:10:36.783 --> 00:10:41.788
This young man had to make. who are you going to serve
00:10:41.855 --> 00:10:43.056
Who are you going to serve and who are you going to love?
00:10:43.123 --> 00:10:44.057
And who are you going to love? and is your faith in god,
00:10:44.124 --> 00:10:48.695
And is your faith in god, is it --
00:10:48.762 --> 00:10:49.262
Is it -- are you a professional?
00:10:49.329 --> 00:10:50.597
Are you a professional? meaning,
00:10:50.664 --> 00:10:51.698
Meaning, when i say professional,
00:10:51.765 --> 00:10:52.799
When i say professional, i don't mean that he was
00:10:52.866 --> 00:10:54.034
I don't mean that he was a cut above like a
00:10:54.101 --> 00:10:55.202
A cut above like a professional athlete.
00:10:55.268 --> 00:10:59.239
Professional athlete. in that moment,
00:10:59.306 --> 00:10:59.806
In that moment, he decided it would become
00:10:59.873 --> 00:11:01.808
He decided it would become a profession for him,
00:11:01.875 --> 00:11:05.779
A profession for him, not a passion.
00:11:05.846 --> 00:11:08.148
Not a passion. it would become a job
00:11:08.215 --> 00:11:09.449
It would become a job for him, not a joy.
00:11:09.516 --> 00:11:13.787
For him, not a joy. it would become a life,
00:11:13.854 --> 00:11:18.458
It would become a life, not the life.
00:11:18.525 --> 00:11:21.161
Not the life. it would become something
00:11:21.228 --> 00:11:22.629
It would become something that was taught,
00:11:22.696 --> 00:11:23.497
That was taught, but it would not be really,
00:11:23.563 --> 00:11:25.332
But it would not be really, really treasured all week long.
00:11:25.398 --> 00:11:27.434
Really treasured all week long. you'd come hear a little
00:11:27.501 --> 00:11:28.568
You'd come hear a little teaching and then go back
00:11:28.635 --> 00:11:31.104
Teaching and then go back and forget about it.
00:11:31.171 --> 00:11:33.373
And forget about it. and every christian,
00:11:33.440 --> 00:11:34.708
And every christian, we're living in a
00:11:34.775 --> 00:11:35.942
We're living in a defining time where
00:11:36.009 --> 00:11:38.011
Defining time where playing church is over.
00:11:38.078 --> 00:11:42.249
Playing church is over. and if you're for sale and the
00:11:42.315 --> 00:11:44.484
And if you're for sale and the enemy can make you content,
00:11:44.551 --> 00:11:47.888
Enemy can make you content, he will make you a bargain
00:11:47.954 --> 00:11:50.023
He will make you a bargain and you can become
00:11:50.090 --> 00:11:50.657
And you can become a lukewarm christian
00:11:50.724 --> 00:11:52.359
A lukewarm christian if you want to.
00:11:52.425 --> 00:11:54.461
If you want to. are you one of those
00:11:54.528 --> 00:11:55.262

A professional christian? you do your duty?
00:11:59.733 --> 00:12:02.369
You do your duty? you've become content?
00:12:02.435 --> 00:12:06.807
You've become content? where's the passion?
00:12:06.873 --> 00:12:09.643
Where's the passion? where's the longing?
00:12:09.709 --> 00:12:10.844
Where's the longing? where's the yearning?
00:12:10.911 --> 00:12:13.380
Where's the yearning? where's that move of god
00:12:13.446 --> 00:12:15.348
Where's that move of god that matters more than
00:12:15.415 --> 00:12:16.683
That matters more than silver or gold?
00:12:16.750 --> 00:12:20.253
Silver or gold? i'm a blessed man.
00:12:20.320 --> 00:12:21.221
I'm a blessed man. god has blessed me mightily.

Every step you take away from god is a step down.
00:17:49.015 --> 00:17:52.585
From god is a step down. jonah stepped down from

The opposite direction of what you know what they had,

Probably had a rainbow flag outside the church.
00:18:44.971 --> 00:18:49.142

It's not about us. it's not about us.
00:19:06.726 --> 00:19:08.628
