00:02:45.579 --> 00:02:49.416
A levite as a priest.'" you read the next chapter
00:02:49.483 --> 00:02:50.284
You read the next chapter and he sets up a idol
00:02:50.351 --> 00:02:52.953
And he sets up a idol in his house.
00:02:53.020 --> 00:02:54.488
In his house. started worshipping it
00:02:54.555 --> 00:02:55.422
Started worshipping it and he said,
00:02:55.489 --> 00:02:56.190
And he said, “it will be alright.
00:02:56.257 --> 00:02:57.758
“it will be alright. it will be alright.

I've got me a hired priest. it doesn't matter how
00:03:03.897 --> 00:03:04.465
It doesn't matter how i worship or who i worship
00:03:04.531 --> 00:03:05.899
I worship or who i worship or what i worship.
00:03:05.966 --> 00:03:09.470
Or what i worship. and in that moment,
00:03:09.536 --> 00:03:10.738
And in that moment, this man had to make
00:03:10.804 --> 00:03:12.072
This man had to make a decision, was he going to,
00:03:12.139 --> 00:03:17.244
A decision, was he going to, was he going to basically
00:03:17.311 --> 00:03:18.712
Was he going to basically sell out his faith that
00:03:18.779 --> 00:03:24.084
Sell out his faith that he knew was right
00:03:24.151 --> 00:03:27.221
He knew was right to worship another god?
00:03:27.288 --> 00:03:32.626
To worship another god? for contentment, for security
00:03:32.693 --> 00:03:35.029
For contentment, for security for ten shekels of silver
00:03:35.095 --> 00:03:37.164
For ten shekels of silver per year, a change of clothes?
00:03:37.231 --> 00:03:44.371
Per year, a change of clothes? and in some bibles,
00:03:44.438 --> 00:03:45.739
And in some bibles, it says over that section,
00:03:45.806 --> 00:03:51.078
It says over that section, when the priest became
00:03:51.145 --> 00:03:53.113
When the priest became a professional.
00:03:53.180 --> 00:03:58.152
A professional. and i'm preaching today on,
00:03:58.218 --> 00:04:00.421
And i'm preaching today on, “i refuse to be
00:04:00.487 --> 00:04:01.822
“i refuse to be a professional.”
00:04:01.889 --> 00:04:03.857
A professional.” because we're new testament
00:04:03.924 --> 00:04:05.159
Because we're new testament priests, you are and i am.
00:04:05.225 --> 00:04:07.161
Priests, you are and i am. you think the preacher is
00:04:07.227 --> 00:04:08.195
You think the preacher is the only one that's a priest,
00:04:08.262 --> 00:04:09.496
The only one that's a priest, but the bible said in
00:04:09.563 --> 00:04:10.497
But the bible said in the book of revelation,
00:04:10.564 --> 00:04:11.532
The book of revelation, “we're all kings
00:04:11.598 --> 00:04:12.533
“we're all kings and priests under our god.
00:04:12.599 --> 00:04:15.569
And priests under our god. and sooner or later,
00:04:15.636 --> 00:04:16.270
And sooner or later, you're gonna have to make
00:04:16.337 --> 00:04:17.104
You're gonna have to make the same decision that
00:04:17.171 --> 00:04:18.539
The same decision that this young man had to make.
00:04:18.605 --> 00:04:22.976
This young man had to make. who are you going to serve
00:04:23.043 --> 00:04:24.244
Who are you going to serve and who are you going to love?
00:04:24.311 --> 00:04:25.245
And who are you going to love? and is your faith in god,
00:04:25.312 --> 00:04:29.883
And is your faith in god, is it --
00:04:29.950 --> 00:04:30.451
Is it -- are you a professional?
00:04:30.517 --> 00:04:31.785
Are you a professional? meaning,
00:04:31.852 --> 00:04:32.886
Meaning, when i say professional,
00:04:32.953 --> 00:04:33.987
When i say professional, i don't mean that he was
00:04:34.054 --> 00:04:35.222
I don't mean that he was a cut above like a
00:04:35.289 --> 00:04:36.390
A cut above like a professional athlete.
00:04:36.457 --> 00:04:40.427
Professional athlete. in that moment,
00:04:40.494 --> 00:04:40.994
In that moment, he decided it would become
00:04:41.061 --> 00:04:42.996
He decided it would become a profession for him,
00:04:43.063 --> 00:04:46.967
A profession for him, not a passion.
00:04:47.034 --> 00:04:49.336
Not a passion. it would become a job
00:04:49.403 --> 00:04:50.637
It would become a job for him, not a joy.
00:04:50.704 --> 00:04:54.975
For him, not a joy. it would become a life,
00:04:55.042 --> 00:04:59.646
It would become a life, not the life.
00:04:59.713 --> 00:05:02.349
Not the life. it would become something
00:05:02.416 --> 00:05:03.817
It would become something that was taught,
00:05:03.884 --> 00:05:04.685
That was taught, but it would not be really,
00:05:04.752 --> 00:05:06.520
But it would not be really, really treasured all week long.
00:05:06.587 --> 00:05:08.622
Really treasured all week long. you'd come hear a little
00:05:08.689 --> 00:05:09.757
You'd come hear a little teaching and then go back
00:05:09.823 --> 00:05:12.292
Teaching and then go back and forget about it.
00:05:12.359 --> 00:05:15.496
And forget about it. are you one of those
00:05:15.562 --> 00:05:16.296

You've become content? where's the passion?

Where's the passion? where's the longing?
00:05:30.744 --> 00:05:31.879
Where's the longing? where's the yearning?
00:05:31.945 --> 00:05:34.415
Where's the yearning? where's that move of god
00:05:34.481 --> 00:05:36.383
Where's that move of god that matters more than
00:05:36.450 --> 00:05:37.718
That matters more than silver or gold?
00:05:37.785 --> 00:05:39.386
Silver or gold? [applause]

Being a professional christian? ”come on kids, get into church.

”come on kids, get into church. hurry up, hurry up.
00:05:47.361 --> 00:05:48.328
Hurry up, hurry up. and when we get over,

What is wrong with us? we need a revival.
00:06:02.676 --> 00:06:05.546
We need a revival. we need young people
00:06:05.612 --> 00:06:07.080
We need young people to see the glory of god.
00:06:07.147 --> 00:06:09.650
To see the glory of god. we need the holy ghost to fall
00:06:09.716 --> 00:06:11.919
We need the holy ghost to fall on the house until they are
00:06:11.985 --> 00:06:14.455
On the house until they are filled with the spirit and so
00:06:14.521 --> 00:06:17.458
Filled with the spirit and so filled with the vision of god
00:06:17.524 --> 00:06:19.793
Filled with the vision of god for their life that culture
00:06:19.860 --> 00:06:21.795
For their life that culture can't turn them around.
00:06:21.862 --> 00:06:22.930

Cause sin takes and takes and takes.
00:08:26.820 --> 00:08:27.921
And takes and takes. you know what they did a study
00:08:27.988 --> 00:08:28.855
You know what they did a study of super wealthy families that
00:08:28.922 --> 00:08:30.457
Of super wealthy families that i read about not too long ago?
00:08:30.524 --> 00:08:31.892
I read about not too long ago? and they said that usually
00:08:31.959 --> 00:08:34.161
And they said that usually wealth in a family doesn't last
00:08:34.227 --> 00:08:36.129
Wealth in a family doesn't last but three generations
00:08:36.196 --> 00:08:40.133
But three generations because what starts out
00:08:40.200 --> 00:08:41.868
Because what starts out as a passion then becomes
00:08:41.935 --> 00:08:45.806
As a passion then becomes i kinda like it,
00:08:45.872 --> 00:08:48.342
I kinda like it, i kinda like it.
00:08:48.408 --> 00:08:50.978
I kinda like it. and then by
00:08:51.044 --> 00:08:51.378
And then by the third generations
00:08:51.445 --> 00:08:52.579
The third generations it's dead, cold and dead.
00:08:52.646 --> 00:08:56.383
It's dead, cold and dead. same is true in
00:08:56.450 --> 00:08:56.950
Same is true in our walk with god,
00:08:57.017 --> 00:08:58.051
Our walk with god, it's a passion when
00:08:58.118 --> 00:08:58.952
It's a passion when we first get started
00:08:59.019 --> 00:09:00.187
We first get started and if we don't watch it
00:09:00.253 --> 00:09:01.088
And if we don't watch it the children just kinda,
00:09:01.154 --> 00:09:02.222
The children just kinda, "i kinda like it."
00:09:02.289 --> 00:09:04.524
"i kinda like it." and then the next generation
00:09:04.591 --> 00:09:05.926
And then the next generation of grandchildren, are like,
00:09:05.993 --> 00:09:08.762
Of grandchildren, are like, "i don't even wanna go, i don't
00:09:08.829 --> 00:09:09.896
"i don't even wanna go, i don't care nothing about that."
00:09:09.963 --> 00:09:11.331
Care nothing about that." that's why -- do you understand

>> is that happening in your family?
00:09:16.570 --> 00:09:18.538
In your family? is that happening
00:09:18.605 --> 00:09:20.507
Is that happening in generation after generation?
00:09:20.574 --> 00:09:25.879
In generation after generation? the levite said,
00:09:25.946 --> 00:09:31.551
The levite said, "i just wanna be normal."
00:09:31.618 --> 00:09:35.555

00:25:29.075 --> 00:25:29.842
Provides physical safety.
00:25:29.942 --> 00:25:31.711
That is why we are building
00:25:31.811 --> 00:25:32.878
Civil defense centers,
00:25:32.979 --> 00:25:34.447
And over 800 safe houses,
00:25:34.547 --> 00:25:36.816
Making sure every family
00:25:36.916 --> 00:25:38.484
In the region has a safe room,
00:25:38.584 --> 00:25:40.019
In case of terrorist attacks.
00:25:40.119 --> 00:25:41.220
>> this is home.
00:25:42.154 --> 00:25:43.122
Israel is our place.
00:25:43.189 --> 00:25:44.190
This is the safest place
00:25:44.256 --> 00:25:44.991
We can be.
00:25:45.057 --> 00:25:46.525
And this safe room became
00:25:46.592 --> 00:25:47.927
Our little safe haven.
00:25:47.994 --> 00:25:49.161
It's something that
00:25:49.228 --> 00:25:50.596
Every single person
00:25:50.663 --> 00:25:51.597
In our area needs.
00:25:51.664 --> 00:25:52.732
I can't stress it enough
00:25:52.798 --> 00:25:54.634
That it saved our lives,
00:25:54.700 --> 00:25:55.801
It saved my husband's family
00:25:55.868 --> 00:25:57.403
Life on the 7th of october
00:25:57.470 --> 00:25:59.205
And it will continue
00:25:59.271 --> 00:26:00.306
To save lives.
00:26:00.373 --> 00:26:00.973
>> when you give to
00:26:01.307 --> 00:26:01.841
A project like this,
00:26:01.941 --> 00:26:03.442
There is a promise for you
00:26:03.542 --> 00:26:04.243
Found in genesis 12:3,
00:26:04.343 --> 00:26:06.445
“i will bless those
00:26:06.545 --> 00:26:07.313
Who bless you israel.”
00:26:07.413 --> 00:26:08.981
Together we can demonstrate
00:26:09.081 --> 00:26:10.583
That faith combined with
00:26:10.683 --> 00:26:11.784
Collective action can
00:26:11.884 --> 00:26:12.818
Illuminate the darkest moments
00:26:12.918 --> 00:26:14.720
And forge a brighter,
00:26:14.820 --> 00:26:16.222
More hopeful future
00:26:16.322 --> 00:26:17.356
For the holy land.

00:26:23.529 --> 00:26:25.665
We pray is like snow.
00:26:25.731 --> 00:26:27.600
We take the first three weeks
00:26:27.667 --> 00:26:29.301
Of a new year and we fast,
00:26:29.368 --> 00:26:31.570
And we pray, and we take
00:26:31.671 --> 00:26:33.406
And we pray, and we take the word of god that
00:26:33.472 --> 00:26:34.740
Will not return void,
00:26:34.840 --> 00:26:36.308
And we study it,
00:26:36.375 --> 00:26:37.410
And we spend extra time in it.
00:26:37.476 --> 00:26:39.445
And in doing so
00:26:39.512 --> 00:26:40.680
You're filling up
00:26:40.746 --> 00:26:41.914
The treasury of snow.

For your family --

00:26:45.951 --> 00:26:47.286
To pray if it didn't work.
00:26:47.353 --> 00:26:49.955
It's what we've been doing for
00:26:50.022 --> 00:26:51.657
The last 21 days as a church.
