  • 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

  • Off these next few months, going into the end of the year

  • 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

  • 00:02:46.348 --> 00:02:48.417
  • That your future is bright. and i'm gonna add many times

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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

  • Shift because this happened. and we went a few days
  • 00:06:13.188 --> 00:06:15.157
  • And we went a few days later, david had surgery
  • 00:06:15.223 --> 00:06:16.491
  • Later, david had surgery and shelly and i

  • Before forest frank got healed from his back breaking
  • 00:06:37.479 --> 00:06:39.147

  • 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.

  • 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.
  • 00:10:23.838 --> 00:10:27.475
  • Promises are future. god hasn't promised you
  • 00:10:27.542 --> 00:10:29.344
  • God hasn't promised you anything about your past.
  • 00:10:29.411 --> 00:10:32.480
  • Anything about your past. what he's promising you
  • 00:10:32.547 --> 00:10:34.215
  • What he's promising you is about your future.
  • 00:10:34.282 --> 00:10:36.818
  • Is about your future. and every promise of god,
  • 00:10:36.885 --> 00:10:38.520
  • And every promise of god, according to the
  • 00:10:38.586 --> 00:10:39.387
  • 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
  • Is in the first chapter of matthew.
  • 00:11:40.782 --> 00:11:41.382
  • Chapter of matthew. a lot of people skip right
  • 00:11:41.449 --> 00:11:42.917
  • A lot of people skip right over that when they're reading
  • 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
  • Because who wants to know who was the father of so and so,
  • 00:11:45.353 --> 00:11:46.588
  • Was the father of so and so, and who is the
  • 00:11:46.654 --> 00:11:47.355
  • And who is the father of so and so.
  • 00:11:47.422 --> 00:11:48.289
  • Father of so and so. but in the midst of this
  • 00:11:48.356 --> 00:11:50.325
  • But in the midst of this whole thing is zerubbabel
  • 00:11:50.391 --> 00:11:51.659

  • Jeconiah was the father of, and it just goes down the list,
  • 00:12:00.301 --> 00:12:01.970
  • And it just goes down the list, and then here's
  • 00:12:02.036 --> 00:12:03.371
  • And then here's zerubbabel in the story.
  • 00:12:03.438 --> 00:12:05.273
  • Zerubbabel in the story. and then you track down

  • And then you track down from zerubbabel, here he is.
  • 00:12:06.875 --> 00:12:08.309

  • To give you a hope and to give you a future,

  • Who rebuilt the temple. and all the while god is saying,

  • And all the while god is saying, the promise isn't
  • 00:12:33.434 --> 00:12:35.303
  • The promise isn't necessarily for today,
  • 00:12:35.370 --> 00:12:37.238
  • Necessarily for today, it's for the future.
  • 00:12:37.305 --> 00:12:38.506
