- 00:00:51.133 --> 00:00:52.301
- Future of our house, the future of the
- 00:00:52.367 --> 00:00:53.435
- The future of the kingdom of god.
- 00:00:53.502 --> 00:00:54.269
- Kingdom of god. we talked about awakening
- 00:00:54.336 --> 00:00:55.671
- We talked about awakening happening all over the world.
- 00:00:55.737 --> 00:00:57.406
- Happening all over the world. i wanna come back kicking
- 00:00:57.473 --> 00:00:58.841
- I wanna come back kicking off these next few months,
- 00:00:58.907 --> 00:01:00.242
- Off these next few months, going into the end of the year
- 00:01:00.309 --> 00:01:01.677
- Going into the end of the year and just remind us all again,
- 00:01:01.743 --> 00:01:02.911
- And just remind us all again, it's not just the church
- 00:01:02.978 --> 00:01:04.346
- It's not just the church that has a bright future,
- 00:01:04.413 --> 00:01:05.781
- That has a bright future, but you have a bright future.
- 00:01:05.848 --> 00:01:07.916
- But you have a bright future. and i want to come
- 00:01:07.983 --> 00:01:08.750
- And i want to come back to a text
- 00:01:08.817 --> 00:01:09.418
- Back to a text that we talked about
- 00:01:09.485 --> 00:01:10.219
- That we talked about a few months ago
- 00:01:10.285 --> 00:01:10.986
- A few months ago in jeremiah 29:11, a life verse
- 00:01:11.053 --> 00:01:13.122
- In jeremiah 29:11, a life verse for many of you i know
- 00:01:13.188 --> 00:01:14.389
- For many of you i know in the room right now.
- 00:01:14.456 --> 00:01:15.424
- In the room right now. and we looked at this in
- 00:01:15.491 --> 00:01:17.226
- And we looked at this in depth a few months ago,
- 00:01:17.292 --> 00:01:18.727
- Depth a few months ago, we took apart the
- 00:01:18.794 --> 00:01:20.229
- We took apart the context of this verse,
- 00:01:20.295 --> 00:01:21.697
- Context of this verse, and it's even more powerful
- 00:01:21.763 --> 00:01:23.332
- And it's even more powerful when you understand
- 00:01:23.398 --> 00:01:24.333
- When you understand where god's people were when
- 00:01:24.399 --> 00:01:26.101
- Where god's people were when he made this promise to them.
- 00:01:26.168 --> 00:01:28.237
- He made this promise to them. but he said, "for i know
- 00:01:28.303 --> 00:01:30.105
- But he said, "for i know the plans i have for you."
- 00:01:30.172 --> 00:01:31.974
- The plans i have for you." now we're gonna
- 00:01:32.040 --> 00:01:32.574
- Now we're gonna come back to this,
- 00:01:32.641 --> 00:01:33.375
- Come back to this, but this is the most
- 00:01:33.442 --> 00:01:34.343
- But this is the most important part of this verse
- 00:01:34.409 --> 00:01:35.310
- Important part of this verse by the way, i think is, he's
- 00:01:35.377 --> 00:01:37.412
- By the way, i think is, he's saying, "i know the plans
- 00:01:37.479 --> 00:01:39.781
- Saying, "i know the plans that i have for you."
- 00:01:39.848 --> 00:01:41.617
- That i have for you." so that's god saying to you
- 00:01:41.683 --> 00:01:43.418
- So that's god saying to you today, a, he has plans for you
- 00:01:43.485 --> 00:01:46.622
- Today, a, he has plans for you and b, he's fully aware
- 00:01:46.688 --> 00:01:48.223
- And b, he's fully aware and knows what they are.
- 00:01:48.290 --> 00:01:49.791
- And knows what they are. now, i'm gonna just
- 00:01:49.858 --> 00:01:50.626
- Now, i'm gonna just say again today,
- 00:01:50.692 --> 00:01:51.226
- Say again today, he's not prepared to tell
- 00:01:51.293 --> 00:01:52.895
- He's not prepared to tell you what they are today.
- 00:01:52.961 --> 00:01:54.530
- You what they are today. it's not likely he's gonna
- 00:01:54.596 --> 00:01:55.731
- It's not likely he's gonna tell you all the plans today.
- 00:01:55.797 --> 00:01:57.166
- Tell you all the plans today. he just needs you to
- 00:01:57.232 --> 00:01:58.834
- He just needs you to know that he has plans
- 00:01:58.901 --> 00:02:00.469
- Know that he has plans and that he knows what they are.
- 00:02:00.536 --> 00:02:03.071
- And that he knows what they are. and you say, well,
- 00:02:03.138 --> 00:02:03.772
- And you say, well, if he has plans
- 00:02:03.839 --> 00:02:04.473
- If he has plans and he knows what they are,
- 00:02:04.540 --> 00:02:05.707
- And he knows what they are, why wouldn't he tell me?
- 00:02:05.774 --> 00:02:06.708
- Why wouldn't he tell me? because you will
- 00:02:06.775 --> 00:02:07.576
- Because you will mess up the plans.
- 00:02:07.643 --> 00:02:08.710
- Mess up the plans. [laughter]
- 00:02:08.777 --> 00:02:11.413
- [laughter] because you won't like
- 00:02:11.480 --> 00:02:12.347
- Because you won't like some of the plans,
- 00:02:12.414 --> 00:02:14.283
- Some of the plans, you'll run from
- 00:02:14.349 --> 00:02:15.417
- You'll run from some of the plans,
- 00:02:15.484 --> 00:02:16.919
- Some of the plans, and you'll try to circumvent
- 00:02:16.985 --> 00:02:18.921
- And you'll try to circumvent some of the plans.
- 00:02:18.987 --> 00:02:20.522
- Some of the plans. but he's saying, no, i know
- 00:02:20.589 --> 00:02:23.125
- But he's saying, no, i know what i'm doing with you
- 00:02:23.192 --> 00:02:25.294
- What i'm doing with you and i want you to leave
- 00:02:25.360 --> 00:02:27.496
- And i want you to leave this house today convinced
- 00:02:27.563 --> 00:02:28.964
- This house today convinced that god in heaven
- 00:02:29.031 --> 00:02:30.799
- That god in heaven has got plans for you,
- 00:02:30.866 --> 00:02:33.101
- Has got plans for you, and here's what they are,
- 00:02:33.168 --> 00:02:35.470
- And here's what they are, "plans to prosper you
- 00:02:35.537 --> 00:02:37.339
- "plans to prosper you and not to harm you.
- 00:02:37.406 --> 00:02:39.608
- And not to harm you. plans to give you a
- 00:02:39.675 --> 00:02:41.743
- Plans to give you a hope and a future."
- 00:02:41.810 --> 00:02:43.478
- Hope and a future." that's why we can
- 00:02:43.545 --> 00:02:45.080
- That's why we can say confidently today
- 00:02:45.147 --> 00:02:46.281
- Say confidently today that your future is bright.
- 00:02:46.348 --> 00:02:48.417
- That your future is bright. and i'm gonna add many times
- 00:02:48.483 --> 00:02:49.952
- And i'm gonna add many times through this next
- 00:02:50.018 --> 00:02:51.119
- Through this next few minutes together
- 00:02:51.186 --> 00:02:52.287
- Few minutes together and you can hold the hype.
- 00:02:52.354 --> 00:02:55.090
- And you can hold the hype. so i do believe the
- 00:02:55.157 --> 00:02:56.625
- So i do believe the best is yet to come.
- 00:02:56.692 --> 00:02:58.160
- Best is yet to come. i love that phrase, and
- 00:02:58.227 --> 00:02:59.394
- I love that phrase, and i remember hearing it
- 00:02:59.461 --> 00:03:00.395
- I remember hearing it for the first time and thinking,
- 00:03:00.462 --> 00:03:01.830
- For the first time and thinking, wow, that did
- 00:03:01.897 --> 00:03:02.764
- Wow, that did something inside of me
- 00:03:02.831 --> 00:03:03.999
- Something inside of me to know the best is yet to come
- 00:03:04.066 --> 00:03:05.634
- To know the best is yet to come 'cause there's been some
- 00:03:05.701 --> 00:03:06.702
- 'cause there's been some pretty good stuff in the past.
- 00:03:06.768 --> 00:03:08.303
- Pretty good stuff in the past. but to think that god still
- 00:03:08.370 --> 00:03:10.505
- But to think that god still got more in the future
- 00:03:10.572 --> 00:03:12.341
- Got more in the future and i do believe the
- 00:03:12.407 --> 00:03:13.442
- And i do believe the best is yet to come,
- 00:03:13.508 --> 00:03:14.509
- Best is yet to come, but that can get
- 00:03:14.576 --> 00:03:16.445
- Hypey sometimes.
- 00:03:16.545 --> 00:03:17.412
- Hypey sometimes. and life isn't
- 00:03:17.479 --> 00:03:18.914
- And life isn't hypey, life is hard.
- 00:03:18.981 --> 00:03:20.949
- Hypey, life is hard. life is full of disappointment.
- 00:03:21.016 --> 00:03:22.718
- Life is full of disappointment. life is filled with u-turns
- 00:03:22.784 --> 00:03:24.753
- Life is filled with u-turns and left turns, and curve balls
- 00:03:24.820 --> 00:03:27.189
- And left turns, and curve balls and highs and lows,
- 00:03:27.256 --> 00:03:29.558
- And joy and sorrow.
- 00:03:29.658 --> 00:03:31.927
- And joy and sorrow. and so what god
- 00:03:31.994 --> 00:03:32.828

- Is bright today, and you don't need

- And you don't need any hype around it
- 00:03:59.655 --> 00:04:00.489
- Any hype around it is because god is
- 00:04:00.555 --> 00:04:01.623
- Is because god is in your future.
- 00:04:01.690 --> 00:04:03.725
- In your future. i don't know if you've

- God's already in the room. he's already in the future,
- 00:04:12.501 --> 00:04:13.535

- Facing in your future. your future's bright.

- Your future's bright. second reason why
- 00:04:42.030 --> 00:04:42.764
- Second reason why your future's bright
- 00:04:42.831 --> 00:04:43.565
- Your future's bright is 'cause your future
- 00:04:43.632 --> 00:04:45.133
- Is 'cause your future is in god's hands.
- 00:04:45.200 --> 00:04:46.668
- Is in god's hands. he says, "i know the
- 00:04:46.735 --> 00:04:47.836
- He says, "i know the plans i have for you."
- 00:04:47.903 --> 00:04:49.004
- Plans i have for you." in other words, you don't
- 00:04:49.071 --> 00:04:51.540
- In other words, you don't have to hold the future
- 00:04:51.606 --> 00:04:55.377
- Have to hold the future because he's already holding
- 00:04:55.444 --> 00:04:56.845
- Because he's already holding the future right now.
- 00:04:56.912 --> 00:04:58.313
- The future right now. and when you get there,
- 00:04:58.380 --> 00:04:59.781
- And when you get there, he'll be holding the future.
- 00:04:59.848 --> 00:05:01.249
- He'll be holding the future. so you don't have to go, man,
- 00:05:01.316 --> 00:05:02.784
- So you don't have to go, man, i don't know if i'm gonna make
- 00:05:02.851 --> 00:05:03.819
- I don't know if i'm gonna make it to this thing three months
- 00:05:03.885 --> 00:05:04.720
- It to this thing three months from now and how am i gonna
- 00:05:04.786 --> 00:05:06.755

- In several places and it was a pretty
- 00:05:34.983 --> 00:05:36.418
- And it was a pretty catastrophic break.
- 00:05:36.485 --> 00:05:37.018

- Played last couple of days in one of those little
- 00:05:48.029 --> 00:05:49.131
- In one of those little chairs you ride around in
- 00:05:49.197 --> 00:05:50.298
- Chairs you ride around in and crowder's up there, as
- 00:05:50.365 --> 00:05:51.633
- And crowder's up there, as you would imagine, you know,
- 00:05:51.700 --> 00:05:52.968
- You would imagine, you know, in the motorized thing
- 00:05:53.034 --> 00:05:54.469
- In the motorized thing with the microphone
- 00:05:54.536 --> 00:05:55.604
- With the microphone doing what only
- 00:05:55.670 --> 00:05:56.772
- Doing what only crowder could do.
- 00:05:56.838 --> 00:05:57.906
- Crowder could do. but it was a pretty
- 00:05:57.973 --> 00:06:00.208
- But it was a pretty significant break.
- 00:06:00.275 --> 00:06:01.143
- Significant break. had to cancel a lot of things.
- 00:06:01.209 --> 00:06:02.544

- We're not gonna be able to do this.
- 00:06:06.314 --> 00:06:06.882
- Able to do this. we gotta cancel this, we
- 00:06:06.948 --> 00:06:08.683
- We gotta cancel this, we gotta reschedule this.
- 00:06:08.750 --> 00:06:09.785
- Gotta reschedule this. a lot of things are gonna
- 00:06:09.851 --> 00:06:11.787
- A lot of things are gonna shift because this happened.
- 00:06:11.853 --> 00:06:13.121
- Shift because this happened. and we went a few days
- 00:06:13.188 --> 00:06:15.157

- 00:06:19.127 --> 00:06:20.362
- Where the surgery was happening, went back into the prep area
- 00:06:20.429 --> 00:06:22.230

- We had just seen like the day before forest frank got healed
- 00:06:35.911 --> 00:06:37.412
- Before forest frank got healed from his back breaking
- 00:06:37.479 --> 00:06:39.147
- From his back breaking because tauren wells
- 00:06:39.214 --> 00:06:40.449

- And so over the course of the next few days,
- 00:07:46.381 --> 00:07:47.649
- Of the next few days, i'm not sure exactly
- 00:07:47.716 --> 00:07:48.750

- 00:08:39.401 --> 00:08:40.802
- Out of our system before, but i loved every bit of it.
- 00:08:40.869 --> 00:08:42.304

- From i just broke my leg in three places, i
- 00:08:54.282 --> 00:08:56.284
- In three places, i gotta cancel stuff.

- Gotta cancel stuff. i gotta rearrange
- 00:08:57.886 --> 00:08:59.988
- I gotta rearrange stuff to making music,
- 00:09:00.055 --> 00:09:04.659
- Stuff to making music, and releasing a song that
- 00:09:04.726 --> 00:09:06.394
- And releasing a song that went to the top of the charts.
- 00:09:06.461 --> 00:09:11.633
- Went to the top of the charts. god is saying, your future
- 00:09:11.700 --> 00:09:14.169
- God is saying, your future is in my hands, amen.
- 00:09:14.235 --> 00:09:21.876

- To give you a hope and a future."
- 00:09:40.061 --> 00:09:40.929
- And a future." it was so fun watching forest
- 00:09:40.996 --> 00:09:44.232
- It was so fun watching forest and crowder collaborate
- 00:09:44.299 --> 00:09:47.402
- And crowder collaborate on this song and then seeing
- 00:09:47.469 --> 00:09:48.470
- On this song and then seeing the song just kinda leap out
- 00:09:48.536 --> 00:09:49.504
- The song just kinda leap out into the world and
- 00:09:49.571 --> 00:09:51.406
- Into the world and knowing that a,
- 00:09:51.473 --> 00:09:52.841
- Knowing that a, that all happened during
- 00:09:52.907 --> 00:09:54.976
- That all happened during sabbath because god works
- 00:09:55.043 --> 00:09:59.381
- Sabbath because god works and it all happened in a way
- 00:09:59.447 --> 00:10:00.782
- And it all happened in a way that we would've
- 00:10:00.849 --> 00:10:01.516
- That we would've never seen coming.
- 00:10:01.583 --> 00:10:02.217
- Never seen coming. i hadn't asked crowder this
- 00:10:02.283 --> 00:10:03.251
- I hadn't asked crowder this and i'm sure he would say,
- 00:10:03.318 --> 00:10:04.519
- Hey, if it was either doing
- 00:10:04.619 --> 00:10:05.553
- Hey, if it was either doing a song with forest frank,
- 00:10:05.620 --> 00:10:06.421
- A song with forest frank, although i love that, or having
- 00:10:06.488 --> 00:10:07.956
- Although i love that, or having my leg back and not broken,
- 00:10:08.023 --> 00:10:09.491
- My leg back and not broken, i'd probably take my
- 00:10:09.557 --> 00:10:10.992
- I'd probably take my leg back, not broken.
- 00:10:11.059 --> 00:10:12.460
- Leg back, not broken. the point is that god works,
- 00:10:12.527 --> 00:10:15.397
- The point is that god works, and he has a future and
- 00:10:15.463 --> 00:10:17.265
- And he has a future and he's holding your future.
- 00:10:17.332 --> 00:10:18.500
- The third reason you can know
- 00:10:18.600 --> 00:10:20.335
- The third reason you can know that your future's bright
- 00:10:20.402 --> 00:10:21.569
- That your future's bright is because god's
- 00:10:21.636 --> 00:10:23.772
- Is because god's promises are future.

- According to the scripture is yes and amen.
- 00:10:39.454 --> 00:10:40.789
- Scripture is yes and amen. and all those promises that
- 00:10:40.855 --> 00:10:42.290
- And all those promises that god is speaking over you today
- 00:10:42.357 --> 00:10:44.059
- God is speaking over you today are future promises.
- 00:10:44.125 --> 00:10:46.961
- Are future promises. in matthew chapter one
- 00:10:47.028 --> 00:10:48.997
- In matthew chapter one i went back to babylon,
- 00:10:49.064 --> 00:10:51.533
- I went back to babylon, and to the people being
- 00:10:51.599 --> 00:10:54.102
- And to the people being released in this promise,
- 00:10:54.169 --> 00:10:56.137
- Released in this promise, they're in, you know,
- 00:10:56.204 --> 00:10:58.973
- They're in, you know, slavery to nebuchadnezzar,
- 00:10:59.040 --> 00:11:02.243
- Slavery to nebuchadnezzar, but cyrus comes, now
- 00:11:02.310 --> 00:11:03.244
- But cyrus comes, now they're gonna be freed,
- 00:11:03.311 --> 00:11:04.245
- They're gonna be freed, they're gonna get to
- 00:11:04.312 --> 00:11:05.113
- They're gonna get to go back to jerusalem,
- 00:11:05.180 --> 00:11:05.980
- Go back to jerusalem, back to their home.
- 00:11:06.047 --> 00:11:07.582
- Back to their home. and the king that leads
- 00:11:07.649 --> 00:11:10.218
- And the king that leads them out is zerubel.
- 00:11:10.285 --> 00:11:14.155
- Them out is zerubel. and i just wanted to think
- 00:11:14.222 --> 00:11:16.091
- And i just wanted to think about the zerubel for a minute.
- 00:11:16.157 --> 00:11:18.026
- About the zerubel for a minute. and so i went to matthew one,
- 00:11:18.093 --> 00:11:19.828
- And so i went to matthew one, and i was looking up
- 00:11:19.894 --> 00:11:21.563
- And i was looking up all the generations
- 00:11:21.629 --> 00:11:22.597
- All the generations from abraham to jesus because
- 00:11:22.664 --> 00:11:24.265
- From abraham to jesus because you know, jesus is a son
- 00:11:24.332 --> 00:11:26.301
- You know, jesus is a son of abraham and it was
- 00:11:26.367 --> 00:11:27.902
- Of abraham and it was important in the context
- 00:11:27.969 --> 00:11:29.204
- Important in the context of the jewish
- 00:11:29.270 --> 00:11:30.972
- Of the jewish reader to understand
- 00:11:31.039 --> 00:11:32.741
- Reader to understand where jesus fit with abraham.
- 00:11:32.807 --> 00:11:35.477
- Where jesus fit with abraham. and so all of the lineage
- 00:11:35.543 --> 00:11:38.113
- And so all of the lineage from abraham to jesus
- 00:11:38.179 --> 00:11:39.848
- From abraham to jesus is in the first
- 00:11:39.914 --> 00:11:40.715

- Chapter of matthew. a lot of people skip right
- 00:11:41.449 --> 00:11:42.917

- 00:11:42.984 --> 00:11:44.185
- Over that when they're reading because who wants to know who
- 00:11:44.252 --> 00:11:45.286

- Is in the future. i was thinking about
- 00:15:09.891 --> 00:15:10.892
- I was thinking about the woman at the well,
- 00:15:10.959 --> 00:15:12.193
- The woman at the well, and all she was known as
- 00:15:12.260 --> 00:15:14.262
- And all she was known as in her town was the woman
- 00:15:14.329 --> 00:15:16.297
- In her town was the woman who'd struck out in marriage
- 00:15:16.364 --> 00:15:18.599
- Who'd struck out in marriage over and over and over again.
- 00:15:18.666 --> 00:15:22.637
- Over and over and over again. and now's with a guy that
- 00:15:22.704 --> 00:15:23.638
- And now's with a guy that she's not married to,
- 00:15:23.705 --> 00:15:24.305
- She's not married to, and everybody in
- 00:15:24.372 --> 00:15:25.006
- And everybody in the town knows it.
- 00:15:25.073 --> 00:15:25.974
- The town knows it. and that's her id in her
- 00:15:26.040 --> 00:15:28.309
- And that's her id in her town until jesus shows up
- 00:15:28.376 --> 00:15:30.244
- Town until jesus shows up and he's like, no, my purpose
- 00:15:30.311 --> 00:15:32.246
- And he's like, no, my purpose for you is not to harm you,
- 00:15:32.313 --> 00:15:34.582
- For you is not to harm you, it's to prosper you, and to
- 00:15:34.649 --> 00:15:35.984
- It's to prosper you, and to give you a hope and a future.
- 00:15:36.050 --> 00:15:37.618
- Give you a hope and a future. and when jesus left
- 00:15:37.685 --> 00:15:39.187
- And when jesus left the town that day,
- 00:15:39.253 --> 00:15:40.755
- The town that day, she had a new identity.
- 00:15:40.822 --> 00:15:42.323
- She had a new identity. she wasn't a lady who
- 00:15:42.390 --> 00:15:43.691
- She wasn't a lady who busted up all the marriages,
- 00:15:43.758 --> 00:15:45.026
- Busted up all the marriages, she was the lady who
- 00:15:45.093 --> 00:15:46.294
- She was the lady who met the guy at the well,
- 00:15:46.361 --> 00:15:47.829
- Met the guy at the well, and who came back to the town
- 00:15:47.895 --> 00:15:49.764
- And who came back to the town and invited everybody
- 00:15:49.831 --> 00:15:50.531
- And invited everybody to come and see him.
- 00:15:50.598 --> 00:15:51.833
- To come and see him. she was the reason

- 00:22:24.692 --> 00:22:28.229
- To us, "don't lay up treasure on earth where moth
- 00:22:28.295 --> 00:22:29.730

- And where thieves do not break in and steal."
- 00:22:42.410 --> 00:22:45.946
- Not break in and steal." if we are following christ,
- 00:22:46.013 --> 00:22:47.281
- If we are following christ, and we are faithfully
- 00:22:47.348 --> 00:22:48.649
