  • Pastor rick warren: good morning, everybody.
  • 00:00:21.371 --> 00:00:23.006
  • It's good to see you.
  • 00:00:23.006 --> 00:00:24.340
  • If you'll take out your message notes.
  • 00:00:24.340 --> 00:00:25.775
  • Welcome to "live your calling: what on earth am i here for?"
  • 00:00:25.775 --> 00:00:29.579
  • And we're looking at the five callings of your life, the five
  • 00:00:29.579 --> 00:00:31.981
  • Purposes of your life, the five reasons god created you, the
  • 00:00:31.981 --> 00:00:36.086
  • Five assignments that he has for your life.
  • 00:00:36.086 --> 00:00:39.122
  • The word "calling" is used more than even the word "purpose" in
  • 00:00:39.122 --> 00:00:42.525
  • The bible, and we've looked at these first four--or three
  • 00:00:42.525 --> 00:00:46.729
  • So far.
  • 00:00:46.729 --> 00:00:48.064
  • We looked at god's first calling in your life is your call to
  • 00:00:48.064 --> 00:00:50.133
  • Be loved.
  • 00:00:50.133 --> 00:00:51.634
  • God made you to love you.
  • 00:00:51.634 --> 00:00:53.436
  • The second calling is your call to belong, to belong to his
  • 00:00:53.436 --> 00:00:57.006
  • Family, the body of christ, the family of god.
  • 00:00:57.006 --> 00:00:59.809
  • Last week we looked at your third calling, you're called
  • 00:00:59.809 --> 00:01:02.679
  • To become.
  • 00:01:02.679 --> 00:01:04.347
  • God wants you to grow up.
  • 00:01:04.347 --> 00:01:05.682
  • He wants you to mature.
  • 00:01:05.682 --> 00:01:07.016
  • He wants you to become who he wants you to be.
  • 00:01:07.016 --> 00:01:08.918
  • This week we're gonna look at the fourth calling on your life,
  • 00:01:08.918 --> 00:01:11.187
  • And it is you are called to bless.
  • 00:01:11.187 --> 00:01:14.390
  • You're called to bless other people.
  • 00:01:14.390 --> 00:01:17.327
  • Now how do you do that?
  • 00:01:17.327 --> 00:01:18.962
  • You bless other people when you serve them.
  • 00:01:18.962 --> 00:01:22.765
  • It may be physical assistance, it may be financial assistance,
  • 00:01:22.765 --> 00:01:28.204
  • It may be emotional support, it could be relational support, it
  • 00:01:28.204 --> 00:01:32.375
  • Could be practical support.
  • 00:01:32.375 --> 00:01:35.245
  • There are a thousand different ways that you can serve the
  • 00:01:35.245 --> 00:01:37.580
  • People around you.
  • 00:01:37.580 --> 00:01:39.149
  • And when you serve others, the bible says you actually
  • 00:01:39.149 --> 00:01:42.085
  • Bless them.
  • 00:01:42.085 --> 00:01:43.419
  • Now, i want you to write this down, on your outline.
  • 00:01:43.419 --> 00:01:45.655
  • The fourth purpose of my life is god shaped me to serve him.
  • 00:01:45.655 --> 00:01:51.628
  • God shaped me to serve him.
  • 00:01:51.628 --> 00:01:54.464
  • I'm not gonna spend a lot of time on this because we've
  • 00:01:54.464 --> 00:01:56.266
  • Covered this many, many times at saddleback that god has uniquely
  • 00:01:56.266 --> 00:02:00.270
  • Shaped you with five elements: your spiritual gifts, your
  • 00:02:00.270 --> 00:02:03.673
  • Heart, your abilities, your personality, your experiences.
  • 00:02:03.673 --> 00:02:06.476
  • We've covered this many times, and you'll be reading about it,
  • 00:02:06.476 --> 00:02:09.212
  • Of course, in "purpose driven life," that god wired you to be
  • 00:02:09.212 --> 00:02:13.383
  • You and he shaped you to serve him.
  • 00:02:13.383 --> 00:02:16.019
  • Ephesians 2:10 explains this.
  • 00:02:16.019 --> 00:02:18.288
  • By the way, this is our memory verse this week, so let's read
  • 00:02:18.288 --> 00:02:21.324
  • It aloud with great enthusiasm, all right?
  • 00:02:21.324 --> 00:02:23.793
  • Let's say it.
  • 00:02:23.793 --> 00:02:25.128
  • Ephesians 2:10: "we are god's workmanship, created in christ
  • 00:02:25.128 --> 00:02:31.267
  • Jesus to do good works, which god prepared in advance for us
  • 00:02:31.267 --> 00:02:36.873
  • To do!"
  • 00:02:36.873 --> 00:02:38.208
  • Ephesians 2:10.
  • 00:02:38.208 --> 00:02:39.776
  • I want you to work on that this week.
  • 00:02:39.776 --> 00:02:41.444
  • It says we're god's workmanship.
  • 00:02:41.444 --> 00:02:43.313
  • We talked about this a couple weeks ago.
  • 00:02:43.313 --> 00:02:45.148
  • You are god's masterpiece.
  • 00:02:45.148 --> 00:02:47.083
  • You're god's work of art.
  • 00:02:47.083 --> 00:02:48.751
  • You are unique.
  • 00:02:48.751 --> 00:02:50.119
  • There's nobody like you in the world, and you were created in
  • 00:02:50.119 --> 00:02:52.455
  • Christ jesus to do good works.
  • 00:02:52.455 --> 00:02:55.091
  • That good works is called your service.
  • 00:02:55.091 --> 00:02:57.393
  • It's called your ministry.
  • 00:02:57.393 --> 00:02:59.495
  • It's called your blessing.
  • 00:02:59.495 --> 00:03:01.164
  • It's the way you help other people.
  • 00:03:01.164 --> 00:03:03.066
  • You weren't made to just take up space, breathe, live a
  • 00:03:03.066 --> 00:03:06.336
  • Self-centered life, and die.
  • 00:03:06.336 --> 00:03:08.671
  • God put you here to make a contribution with your life,
  • 00:03:08.671 --> 00:03:11.741
  • And that is called your ministry.
  • 00:03:11.741 --> 00:03:14.777
  • Another word for blessing, another word for service,
  • 00:03:14.777 --> 00:03:16.613
  • Is ministry.
  • 00:03:16.613 --> 00:03:17.981
  • The word "servant" and the word "minister" are the same word in
  • 00:03:17.981 --> 00:03:20.550
  • The bible, and the word "service" and "ministry" are the
  • 00:03:20.550 --> 00:03:23.353
  • Same words.
  • 00:03:23.353 --> 00:03:24.687
  • The fact is we're all ministers.
  • 00:03:24.687 --> 00:03:26.789
  • Now we're not all pastors.
  • 00:03:26.789 --> 00:03:28.124
  • I'm a pastor.
  • 00:03:28.124 --> 00:03:29.492
  • My job is to administer the ministers.
  • 00:03:29.492 --> 00:03:32.161
  • So if somebody ever ask you how many ministers does our church
  • 00:03:32.161 --> 00:03:34.631
  • Have, you say 30,000.
  • 00:03:34.631 --> 00:03:37.467
  • Because everybody is a minister.
  • 00:03:37.467 --> 00:03:39.502
  • So i want you to write this down: my life calling is to be
  • 00:03:39.502 --> 00:03:44.140
  • A bi-vocational minister of jesus.
  • 00:03:44.140 --> 00:03:48.378
  • I'm gonna have to explain this to you.
  • 00:03:48.378 --> 00:03:49.979
  • My life calling is to be a bi-vocational minister of jesus.
  • 00:03:49.979 --> 00:03:56.486
  • Now what does bi-vocational mean?
  • 00:03:56.486 --> 00:03:58.187
  • Well, it's like the word "bifocal."
  • 00:03:58.187 --> 00:03:59.622
  • You know when you get glasses that are bifocals, it means you
  • 00:03:59.622 --> 00:04:02.659
  • Can see two things at the same time.
  • 00:04:02.659 --> 00:04:04.727
  • You can see far away and you can see up close, you can see both
  • 00:04:04.727 --> 00:04:07.897
  • With clarity.
  • 00:04:07.897 --> 00:04:09.265
  • And when you are a bi-vocational minister of jesus, it means that
  • 00:04:09.265 --> 00:04:13.369
  • No matter what you do in life, you do it for two reasons,
  • 00:04:13.369 --> 00:04:16.572
  • Not one.
  • 00:04:16.572 --> 00:04:17.907
  • You are a bi-vocational minister.
  • 00:04:17.907 --> 00:04:19.542
  • So whether you're a truck driver or an attorney or a janitor or a
  • 00:04:19.542 --> 00:04:23.346
  • Hospice worker or a homemaker or a teacher or a deal maker or a
  • 00:04:23.346 --> 00:04:27.817
  • Stockbroker or an accountant or a farmer, it doesn't matter what
  • 00:04:27.817 --> 00:04:32.455
  • You are, if you're a christian, you are to do it for two
  • 00:04:32.455 --> 00:04:35.525
  • Reasons: to help others and to honor god.
  • 00:04:35.525 --> 00:04:40.229
  • To help others and to honor god.
  • 00:04:40.229 --> 00:04:42.398
  • To help others and to honor god.
  • 00:04:42.398 --> 00:04:44.701
  • Everything i do in life, if i'm a follower of jesus,
  • 00:04:44.701 --> 00:04:47.503
  • Is bi-vocational.
  • 00:04:47.503 --> 00:04:49.238
  • I have a job, but in that job i do it to help others and to
  • 00:04:49.238 --> 00:04:52.875
  • Honor god, to help others and honor god.
  • 00:04:52.875 --> 00:04:55.244
  • I am a bi-vocational minister of jesus christ.
  • 00:04:55.244 --> 00:04:59.816
  • Now the bible says it like this, look up here on the screen.
  • 00:04:59.816 --> 00:05:02.151
  • Colossians 3:17: "whatever you do--whatever you do, whether in
  • 00:05:02.151 --> 00:05:07.490
  • Word or deed, do it all in the name of the lord jesus, giving
  • 00:05:07.490 --> 00:05:12.695
  • Thanks to god the father through him."
  • 00:05:12.695 --> 00:05:16.599
  • I can take out the garbage as a ministry.
  • 00:05:16.599 --> 00:05:20.069
  • I can change a dirty diaper as a ministry.
  • 00:05:20.069 --> 00:05:23.740
  • I can clean the living room, i can make a deal, i can help
  • 00:05:23.740 --> 00:05:28.678
  • Somebody across the street.
  • 00:05:28.678 --> 00:05:30.980
  • Everything in your life can become a ministry if you do it
  • 00:05:30.980 --> 00:05:34.283
  • To help others and honor god.
  • 00:05:34.283 --> 00:05:36.686
  • And he says, whatever you do, it becomes part of your ministry if
  • 00:05:36.686 --> 00:05:42.158
  • You have the right motivation.
  • 00:05:42.158 --> 00:05:44.394
  • I want you to write this down: menial tasks become meaningful
  • 00:05:44.394 --> 00:05:50.299
  • Tasks when i do that--do it, out of love for god.
  • 00:05:50.299 --> 00:05:55.538
  • Menial tasks become meaningful tasks if i do it out of my love
  • 00:05:55.538 --> 00:06:03.679
  • For jesus, for god.
  • 00:06:03.679 --> 00:06:06.349
  • So everything in your life becomes significant, really.
  • 00:06:06.349 --> 00:06:11.421
  • Let's say, you're at a meeting in your office at where you
  • 00:06:11.421 --> 00:06:14.056
  • Work, and all of a sudden the meeting's over and everybody
  • 00:06:14.056 --> 00:06:16.325
  • Gets up to walk out, and they've left coffee cups and trash and
  • 00:06:16.325 --> 00:06:20.663
  • All kinds of, and you just decide, i'm gonna clean that up.
  • 00:06:20.663 --> 00:06:24.200
  • Everybody, it's not my job, but i'm gonna clean that up to help
  • 00:06:24.200 --> 00:06:27.236
  • People and honor god.
  • 00:06:27.236 --> 00:06:28.604
  • And so while they're all gone, you clean off the table and you
  • 00:06:28.604 --> 00:06:31.174
  • Put it all in the trash when they just walked out expecting
  • 00:06:31.174 --> 00:06:33.810
  • Somebody else to do it.
  • 00:06:33.810 --> 00:06:35.778
  • You have just done a ministry.
  • 00:06:35.778 --> 00:06:38.214
  • And god will notice and god will reward you for it.
  • 00:06:38.214 --> 00:06:42.218
  • Now the fact is the calling to salvation and the calling to
  • 00:06:42.218 --> 00:06:45.788
  • Service are the same.
  • 00:06:45.788 --> 00:06:47.557
  • So when you became a believer, when you stepped across the
  • 00:06:47.557 --> 00:06:50.693
  • Line, you weren't just called to be saved, you were called
  • 00:06:50.693 --> 00:06:53.329
  • To serve.
  • 00:06:53.329 --> 00:06:54.697
  • You're saved to serve, to make a difference with your life.
  • 00:06:54.697 --> 00:06:58.167
  • And as i said, every member is a minister and everybody has
  • 00:06:58.167 --> 00:07:03.005
  • A ministry.
  • 00:07:03.005 --> 00:07:04.373
  • Galatians 1 chapter 1, verse 15 says this: "god in his grace
  • 00:07:04.373 --> 00:07:09.579
  • Chose me even before i was born, and called me to serve him."
  • 00:07:09.579 --> 00:07:17.053
  • Circle that last phrase.
  • 00:07:17.053 --> 00:07:18.387
  • "called me to serve him."
  • 00:07:18.387 --> 00:07:19.755
  • This is the fourth purpose of your life.
  • 00:07:19.755 --> 00:07:21.390
  • This is the fourth calling on your life.
  • 00:07:21.390 --> 00:07:23.192
  • You were called to serve.
  • 00:07:23.192 --> 00:07:25.027
  • You're shaped to serve.
  • 00:07:25.027 --> 00:07:26.629
  • You're made for ministry.
  • 00:07:26.629 --> 00:07:28.197
  • You're called to bless.
  • 00:07:28.197 --> 00:07:30.733
  • What happens if i begin to use my life in this fourth calling?
  • 00:07:30.733 --> 00:07:35.538
  • When i begin to stop thinking about me all the time, and begin
  • 00:07:35.538 --> 00:07:38.741
  • To start thinking about other people in my life, begin to
  • 00:07:38.741 --> 00:07:41.444
  • Think about not how can i be served, but how can i
  • 00:07:41.444 --> 00:07:43.846
  • Serve others?
  • 00:07:43.846 --> 00:07:45.181
  • Well, it brings four amazing benefits.
  • 00:07:45.181 --> 00:07:48.050
  • The first thing that happens, you might write this down, is
  • 00:07:48.050 --> 00:07:50.219
  • That serving others unselfishly will create joy in my life.
  • 00:07:50.219 --> 00:07:56.692
  • It creates enormous massive amounts of joy in my life.
  • 00:07:56.692 --> 00:08:03.332
  • Most people are looking for happiness in all the
  • 00:08:03.332 --> 00:08:05.535
  • Wrong places.
  • 00:08:05.535 --> 00:08:06.869
  • You don't find happiness in pleasure, power, possessions,
  • 00:08:06.869 --> 00:08:09.672
  • Position, prestige, you know, all of these different things
  • 00:08:09.672 --> 00:08:14.644
  • That we typically look for-- popularity.
  • 00:08:14.644 --> 00:08:18.014
  • Success doesn't bring satisfaction, sex doesn't bring
  • 00:08:18.014 --> 00:08:22.418
  • Satisfaction, salary doesn't bring satisfaction.
  • 00:08:22.418 --> 00:08:27.290
  • Status doesn't bring satisfaction.
  • 00:08:27.290 --> 00:08:29.025
  • Those are all temporary.
  • 00:08:29.025 --> 00:08:30.526
  • For permanent ongoing joy, it comes not through sex, status,
  • 00:08:30.526 --> 00:08:35.865
  • Salary, it comes through service.
  • 00:08:35.865 --> 00:08:39.735
  • By giving my life away.
  • 00:08:39.735 --> 00:08:41.304
  • God wired us that when you give your life away, that's when the
  • 00:08:41.304 --> 00:08:44.407
  • Joy flows into your heart.
  • 00:08:44.407 --> 00:08:46.442
  • Why?
  • 00:08:46.442 --> 00:08:47.810
  • Because he wants you to be like him.
  • 00:08:47.810 --> 00:08:49.378
  • Most people don't know the two secrets of joy, but i'm gonna
  • 00:08:49.378 --> 00:08:51.781
  • Give them to you right now.
  • 00:08:51.781 --> 00:08:53.149
  • Here they are.
  • 00:08:53.149 --> 00:08:54.483
  • One, number one, the first secret of joy is get the focus
  • 00:08:54.483 --> 00:08:57.286
  • Off myself.
  • 00:08:57.286 --> 00:08:59.221
  • The more you focus on you, the more miserable you're gonna be.
  • 00:08:59.221 --> 00:09:03.359
  • It is not by accident that the word "miser" and "miserable"
  • 00:09:03.359 --> 00:09:06.996
  • Come from the same root word.
  • 00:09:06.996 --> 00:09:09.699
  • You've gotta shift your focus from inward focus, it's all
  • 00:09:09.699 --> 00:09:13.035
  • About me, to outward focus, it's all about god and
  • 00:09:13.035 --> 00:09:15.805
  • Serving others.
  • 00:09:15.805 --> 00:09:17.173
  • Now when you do that, that is a counterculture move because
  • 00:09:17.173 --> 00:09:20.076
  • Everything in our society says it's all about you.
  • 00:09:20.076 --> 00:09:23.479
  • Every advertisement says, it's all about you, we do it all
  • 00:09:23.479 --> 00:09:26.716
  • For you.
  • 00:09:26.716 --> 00:09:28.050
  • Have it your way, you're number one, you're the best.
  • 00:09:28.050 --> 00:09:30.653
  • But when you begin to give your life away, the more you give
  • 00:09:30.653 --> 00:09:34.223
  • Your life away to help others, guess what?
  • 00:09:34.223 --> 00:09:36.192
  • The more joy flows into your life.
  • 00:09:36.192 --> 00:09:39.895
  • Good example of this is the apostle paul.
  • 00:09:39.895 --> 00:09:42.164
  • Philippians chapter 2, verse 17, he says: "my life is being
  • 00:09:42.164 --> 00:09:46.836
  • Poured out as a part of the sacrifice and service--"
  • 00:09:46.836 --> 00:09:51.307
  • There's those words.
  • 00:09:51.307 --> 00:09:52.975
  • "as a part of the sacrifice and service i offer to god for
  • 00:09:52.975 --> 00:09:57.380
  • Your faith.
  • 00:09:57.380 --> 00:09:58.714
  • Yet," he says, in spite of this sacrifice and service, "i am
  • 00:09:58.714 --> 00:10:02.184
  • Filled with joy, and i share that joy with all of you."
  • 00:10:02.184 --> 00:10:07.923
  • It is a fact of life that the most helpful people are the most
  • 00:10:07.923 --> 00:10:11.661
  • Happy people in life.
  • 00:10:11.661 --> 00:10:13.562
  • If you wanna be happy, you gotta be helpful.
  • 00:10:13.562 --> 00:10:16.198
  • The more helpful you are, the more happy you are.
  • 00:10:16.198 --> 00:10:19.635
  • The more self-centered you are, the more unhappy you're gonna be
  • 00:10:19.635 --> 00:10:22.838
  • In life.
  • 00:10:22.838 --> 00:10:24.173
  • It's just the way the universe works.
  • 00:10:24.173 --> 00:10:26.375
  • So joy floods into my soul when i begin to give it away.
  • 00:10:26.375 --> 00:10:31.113
  • God wired the universe that the more unselfish you are, the more
  • 00:10:31.113 --> 00:10:34.950
  • Joy flows into your life.
  • 00:10:34.950 --> 00:10:37.586
  • The bible says this in philippians 4: "always be full
  • 00:10:37.586 --> 00:10:40.189
  • Of joy in the lord; i say it again, rejoice!
  • 00:10:40.189 --> 00:10:45.394
  • Let everyone see that you are unselfish and considerate in all
  • 00:10:45.394 --> 00:10:51.133
  • You do."
  • 00:10:51.133 --> 00:10:52.468
  • Now notice how he pairs joy with being unselfish and considerate.
  • 00:10:52.468 --> 00:10:54.937
  • If you are inconsiderate and you are selfish, you're not gonna be
  • 00:10:54.937 --> 00:10:58.541
  • Joyful, but if you are unselfish and you are considerate, you're
  • 00:10:58.541 --> 00:11:02.611
  • Gonna be joyful.
  • 00:11:02.611 --> 00:11:04.714
  • I'll be real blunt with you.
  • 00:11:04.714 --> 00:11:06.048
  • Look at this verse up on the screen: "forget about yourself
  • 00:11:06.048 --> 00:11:08.451
  • Long enough to lend a helping hand!"
  • 00:11:08.451 --> 00:11:10.820
  • If you lack joy in your life, you're not happy right now, let
  • 00:11:10.820 --> 00:11:14.156
  • Me tell you, start serving.
  • 00:11:14.156 --> 00:11:16.459
  • Start finding a place where you can volunteer to give part of
  • 00:11:16.459 --> 00:11:19.862
  • Your time away, and you get nothing in return.
  • 00:11:19.862 --> 00:11:22.264
  • You're not paid for it.
  • 00:11:22.264 --> 00:11:24.433
  • You're just giving your life away.
  • 00:11:24.433 --> 00:11:26.235
  • If there's nothing in your life that you are doing, say, on a
  • 00:11:26.235 --> 00:11:29.772
  • Weekly basis, and which you're just doing it for others'
  • 00:11:29.772 --> 00:11:33.209
  • Benefit, not for your own.
  • 00:11:33.209 --> 00:11:34.577
  • If there's nothing in your life like that, you're living
  • 00:11:34.577 --> 00:11:36.612
  • A pretty selfish life.
  • 00:11:36.612 --> 00:11:40.082
  • And god didn't put you on this planet just to live for you.
  • 00:11:40.082 --> 00:11:43.385
  • You gotta give back.
  • 00:11:43.385 --> 00:11:44.854
  • You gotta make a contribution.
  • 00:11:44.854 --> 00:11:46.655
  • You gotta be unselfish.
  • 00:11:46.655 --> 00:11:48.257
  • That's where the joy comes from.
  • 00:11:48.257 --> 00:11:50.559
  • Number two, the other way joy comes is when i use my gifts to
  • 00:11:50.559 --> 00:11:54.830
  • Help others.
  • 00:11:54.830 --> 00:11:57.266
  • Joy comes from getting the focus off myself and joy comes from
  • 00:11:57.266 --> 00:12:01.537
  • Using my gifts to help others.
  • 00:12:01.537 --> 00:12:04.039
  • And when you use the gifts that god gave you to help other
  • 00:12:04.039 --> 00:12:07.076
  • People, it feels good.
  • 00:12:07.076 --> 00:12:10.446
  • I was reading an article this week about the oscar contenders
  • 00:12:10.446 --> 00:12:13.315
  • For the academy awards this year.
  • 00:12:13.315 --> 00:12:15.251
  • Some of--one of the actors said, "i was created, i was made
  • 00:12:15.251 --> 00:12:18.988
  • For this role."
  • 00:12:18.988 --> 00:12:20.923
  • You know that feeling, that's how you feel when you know i'm
  • 00:12:20.923 --> 00:12:23.759
  • Doing what god made me to do, what god wired me to do.
  • 00:12:23.759 --> 00:12:29.098
  • 1 peter 4:10 says this: "god has given each of you some special
  • 00:12:29.098 --> 00:12:33.569
  • Abilities; be sure to use them to make a ton of money."
  • 00:12:33.569 --> 00:12:40.776
  • Oh, sorry, i misread that.
  • 00:12:40.776 --> 00:12:42.812
  • That's in the reviled substandard
  • 00:12:42.812 --> 00:12:44.480
  • Perversion translation.
  • 00:12:44.480 --> 00:12:48.851
  • "god has given each of you some special abilities; be sure to
  • 00:12:48.851 --> 00:12:52.288
  • Use them to," read it with me, "help each other," okay?
  • 00:12:52.288 --> 00:12:57.126
  • "passing on to others god's many kinds of blessing."
  • 00:12:57.126 --> 00:13:01.230
  • We're blessed to be a blessing.
  • 00:13:01.230 --> 00:13:03.265
  • God blesses you so you can bless other people.
  • 00:13:03.265 --> 00:13:06.969
  • We're blessed to be a blessing.
  • 00:13:06.969 --> 00:13:09.104
  • And how do we bless others?
  • 00:13:09.104 --> 00:13:10.573
  • We bless others by using our skills, by using our time, our
  • 00:13:10.573 --> 00:13:14.543
  • Talents, whatever we've got.
  • 00:13:14.543 --> 00:13:16.345
  • When we use it to help other people in service, you bless
  • 00:13:16.345 --> 00:13:19.915
  • Other people.
  • 00:13:19.915 --> 00:13:21.417
  • Number two: surviving others unselfishly--or serving others
  • 00:13:21.417 --> 00:13:25.921
  • Unselfishly will create not only joy in my life, it will improve
  • 00:13:25.921 --> 00:13:31.794
  • My relationships.
  • 00:13:31.794 --> 00:13:33.829
  • And boy, do we need this one.
  • 00:13:33.829 --> 00:13:35.965
  • Your relationships will get better the more you learn how
  • 00:13:35.965 --> 00:13:39.368
  • To serve.
  • 00:13:39.368 --> 00:13:40.870
  • And that's something you got to practice at.
  • 00:13:40.870 --> 00:13:42.838
  • I will--it will improve my relationships.
  • 00:13:42.838 --> 00:13:45.274
  • Why?
  • 00:13:45.274 --> 00:13:46.609
  • Because the root of every single relational problem in your life
  • 00:13:46.609 --> 00:13:52.114
  • Is self-centeredness.
  • 00:13:52.114 --> 00:13:54.683
  • Now there are other issues that come in, but at the root,
  • 00:13:54.683 --> 00:13:57.052
  • It's selfishness.
  • 00:13:57.052 --> 00:13:58.387
  • I want what i want when i want it, and you want what you want
  • 00:13:58.387 --> 00:14:01.357
  • When you want it, and neither of us are willing to budge and give
  • 00:14:01.357 --> 00:14:04.026
  • In and change.
  • 00:14:04.026 --> 00:14:05.361
  • And i want it my way and you want it your way, and that
  • 00:14:05.361 --> 00:14:07.496
  • Causes conflict.
  • 00:14:07.496 --> 00:14:10.799
  • The verse that kay and i memorized when we were actually
  • 00:14:10.799 --> 00:14:14.603
  • On our honeymoon was proverbs 13:10: "only by pride
  • 00:14:14.603 --> 00:14:18.374
  • Cometh contention."
  • 00:14:18.374 --> 00:14:20.075
  • In other words, when you have an ego, you're gonna have conflict.
  • 00:14:20.075 --> 00:14:23.746
  • Anytime you're having a conflict in your marriage, ego is showing
  • 00:14:23.746 --> 00:14:26.248
  • Up, and you're not being a servant, you're being selfish.
  • 00:14:26.248 --> 00:14:30.119
  • But the more you practice, the more you learn to get yourself
  • 00:14:30.119 --> 00:14:33.656
  • Out of yourself, get a bigger perspective, you begin to serve
  • 00:14:33.656 --> 00:14:36.592
  • Unselfishly, it's gonna change and improve every single one of
  • 00:14:36.592 --> 00:14:40.829
  • Your relationships.
  • 00:14:40.829 --> 00:14:42.197
  • Because you change, it changes your relationships.
  • 00:14:42.197 --> 00:14:50.105
  • Announcer: pastor rick has put together a special resource
  • 00:14:54.310 --> 00:14:57.246

  • Driven life" to say thanks.
  • 00:15:45.728 --> 00:15:48.931
  • Pastor rick: so how do i learn to be unselfish?
  • 00:15:52.935 --> 00:15:55.671
  • Simple: copy jesus, because he lived the most unselfish
  • 00:15:55.671 --> 00:16:01.110
  • Life ever.
  • 00:16:01.110 --> 00:16:02.678
  • Matthew 10:28 says this: "your attitude--your attitude must be
  • 00:16:02.678 --> 00:16:08.817
  • Like my own," jesus says, "for i did not come to be served but
  • 00:16:08.817 --> 00:16:15.024
  • To serve."
  • 00:16:15.024 --> 00:16:17.092
  • Now, when you take on the attitude of jesus and you begin
  • 00:16:17.092 --> 00:16:21.230
  • To live your life, not for the benefit of yourself, but you
  • 00:16:21.230 --> 00:16:23.999
  • Begin to live your life for the benefit of others, to help
  • 00:16:23.999 --> 00:16:26.335
  • Others and honor god, help others and honor god, you accept
  • 00:16:26.335 --> 00:16:29.338
  • You're a bi-vocational minister of god, two incredible
  • 00:16:29.338 --> 00:16:32.574
  • Benefits happen.
  • 00:16:32.574 --> 00:16:34.143
  • One, you become more like jesus, and two, you're more loved,
  • 00:16:34.143 --> 00:16:38.347
  • Respected, you're more popular.
  • 00:16:38.347 --> 00:16:40.482
  • If you wanna have more friends, learn to be a servant.
  • 00:16:40.482 --> 00:16:44.019
  • Here's what the bible says, romans 14:18: "if you serve
  • 00:16:44.019 --> 00:16:47.723
  • Christ in this way," unselfishly serving, "you will please god,"
  • 00:16:47.723 --> 00:16:53.062
  • Notice, "and be respected by people."
  • 00:16:53.062 --> 00:16:56.899
  • You wanna be respected by people?
  • 00:16:56.899 --> 00:16:58.467
  • Learn to have a servant's heart.
  • 00:16:58.467 --> 00:17:00.436
  • And here's the cool part of all this, the more i bless other
  • 00:17:00.436 --> 00:17:03.806
  • People, the more god blesses me.
  • 00:17:03.806 --> 00:17:06.375
  • The more i serve others, the more god honors me.
  • 00:17:06.375 --> 00:17:09.878
  • The more i bless other people, the more i minister to other
  • 00:17:09.878 --> 00:17:13.182
  • People, the more god ministers to me.
  • 00:17:13.182 --> 00:17:16.919
  • Let me show you some verses up here on the screen.
  • 00:17:16.919 --> 00:17:18.954
  • Proverbs 11:25: "the one who blesses others is abundantly
  • 00:17:18.954 --> 00:17:24.359
  • Blessed; and those who help others are helped."
  • 00:17:24.359 --> 00:17:28.197
  • In other words, it's the principle of sowing and reaping.
  • 00:17:28.197 --> 00:17:31.233
  • Whatever seed i sow, i'm gonna get back.
  • 00:17:31.233 --> 00:17:33.635
  • But what--i don't get back a seed.
  • 00:17:33.635 --> 00:17:35.871
  • If i plant a seed, i don't get back one seed.
  • 00:17:35.871 --> 00:17:37.439
  • I get a whole tree of seeds.
  • 00:17:37.439 --> 00:17:39.975
  • And so if you start blessing other people, you get tons of
  • 00:17:39.975 --> 00:17:42.177
  • Blessing back.
  • 00:17:42.177 --> 00:17:43.512
  • You start helping other people, you get tons of help back.
  • 00:17:43.512 --> 00:17:46.248
  • You get more than you bargained for.
  • 00:17:46.248 --> 00:17:49.818
  • Blessing others gives me blessing.
  • 00:17:49.818 --> 00:17:52.454
  • You know, i--when people tell me, "you know, i'd really like
  • 00:17:52.454 --> 00:17:55.057
  • To be involved in service, but i'm just too busy.
  • 00:17:55.057 --> 00:17:59.027
  • I'm just--i don't have any time to really be involved in
  • 00:17:59.027 --> 00:18:02.030
  • Volunteering anywhere.
  • 00:18:02.030 --> 00:18:03.365
  • I'm just too busy," then you just forfeited god's blessing on
  • 00:18:03.365 --> 00:18:06.768
  • Your business.
  • 00:18:06.768 --> 00:18:08.137
  • I really feel sad for you.
  • 00:18:08.137 --> 00:18:09.471
  • You want god's blessing on your business?
  • 00:18:09.471 --> 00:18:11.173
  • God does not bless selfishness.
  • 00:18:11.173 --> 00:18:13.475
  • You want god's blessing on your business and on your work
  • 00:18:13.475 --> 00:18:15.777
  • So badly.
  • 00:18:15.777 --> 00:18:17.112
  • God's saying, "are you giving anything away?
  • 00:18:17.112 --> 00:18:19.681
  • Are you thinking only about yourself?
  • 00:18:19.681 --> 00:18:22.084
  • Is it all about you?
  • 00:18:22.084 --> 00:18:23.452
  • Are you--you think i put you on earth just to live for you?"
  • 00:18:23.452 --> 00:18:26.522
  • No, the more you give your life away, the more god blesses you.
  • 00:18:26.522 --> 00:18:30.792
  • Look at these verses, proverbs 17:11: "you do yourself a favor
  • 00:18:30.792 --> 00:18:36.031
  • When you're kind."
  • 00:18:36.031 --> 00:18:37.366
  • Isn't that interesting?
  • 00:18:37.366 --> 00:18:38.734
  • You do yourself a favor when you're kind.
  • 00:18:38.734 --> 00:18:41.503
  • The bible says in proverbs 22:9: "a generous man will himself
  • 00:18:41.503 --> 00:18:47.509
  • Be blessed."
  • 00:18:47.509 --> 00:18:48.844
  • So if i want god's blessing on my life, i've got to be a
  • 00:18:48.844 --> 00:18:51.647
  • Blessing in other people's life.
  • 00:18:51.647 --> 00:18:53.282
  • And if i want better relationships, i need to
  • 00:18:53.282 --> 00:18:56.018
  • Start serving.
  • 00:18:56.018 --> 00:18:57.352
  • Number three, serving others unselfishly will make my
  • 00:18:57.352 --> 00:19:01.590
  • Life meaningful.
  • 00:19:01.590 --> 00:19:04.426
  • That's the third big surprise that most people don't know.
  • 00:19:04.426 --> 00:19:07.196
  • The only way you find meaning in life is to give your life away.
  • 00:19:07.196 --> 00:19:11.633
  • God wired the universe on this principle.
  • 00:19:11.633 --> 00:19:14.803
  • Meaning does not come from money.
  • 00:19:14.803 --> 00:19:18.540
  • We think if i just get more money then my life will have
  • 00:19:18.540 --> 00:19:21.276
  • More meaning.
  • 00:19:21.276 --> 00:19:22.644
  • No, it will not.
  • 00:19:22.644 --> 00:19:23.979
  • I probably know a dozen billionaires, and i could invite
  • 00:19:23.979 --> 00:19:27.449
  • Any of those friends of mine to come on stage.
  • 00:19:27.449 --> 00:19:30.085
  • Every one of them will tell you money has many good uses.
  • 00:19:30.085 --> 00:19:33.755
  • It can make life easier.
  • 00:19:33.755 --> 00:19:35.157
  • It can give you opportunities.
  • 00:19:35.157 --> 00:19:36.525
  • It can open doors.
  • 00:19:36.525 --> 00:19:37.893
  • It can save you time, but money cannot give you meaning.
  • 00:19:37.893 --> 00:19:42.297
  • No amount of money will ever give your life meaning.
  • 00:19:42.297 --> 00:19:45.000
  • Meaning comes from ministry, from giving your life away.
  • 00:19:45.000 --> 00:19:50.138
  • Jesus said it like this, mark 8:35: "if you try to keep your
  • 00:19:50.138 --> 00:19:54.543
  • Life for yourself, you will lose it.
  • 00:19:54.543 --> 00:19:57.980
  • But if you give up your life for my sake, for the sake of the
  • 00:19:57.980 --> 00:20:01.183
  • Good news, you will find true life."
  • 00:20:01.183 --> 00:20:04.753
  • Circle those last two words.
  • 00:20:04.753 --> 00:20:06.121
  • True life comes from giving my life away.
  • 00:20:06.121 --> 00:20:10.592
  • Now, knowing this, what should be my attitude toward service?
  • 00:20:10.592 --> 00:20:14.896
  • 1 corinthians 15:58 says this: "always give yourselves fully to
  • 00:20:14.896 --> 00:20:21.336
  • The work of the lord, because you know that your work in the
  • 00:20:21.336 --> 00:20:25.407
  • Lord is never wasted."
  • 00:20:25.407 --> 00:20:28.510
  • Everything you do for christ has a purpose.
  • 00:20:28.510 --> 00:20:34.750
  • And it may seem insignificant and maybe nobody else seems to
  • 00:20:34.750 --> 00:20:37.586
  • Know about it, but it's important.
  • 00:20:37.586 --> 00:20:39.621
  • The bible says even if you give a cup of cold water in god's
  • 00:20:39.621 --> 00:20:43.058
  • Name, in jesus's name, that you get rewarded for that
  • 00:20:43.058 --> 00:20:47.429
  • In eternity.
  • 00:20:47.429 --> 00:20:49.164
  • And that brings me to the fourth reason.
  • 00:20:49.164 --> 00:20:51.600
  • What will happen if i use my life to serve and bless others?
  • 00:20:51.600 --> 00:20:54.903
  • If i switch the focus from it's all about me to switch the focus
  • 00:20:54.903 --> 00:20:58.440
  • On how many people can i serve?
  • 00:20:58.440 --> 00:21:00.475
  • How can i honor god by helping others?
  • 00:21:00.475 --> 00:21:03.779
  • Creates joy in my life, it improves my relationships,
  • 00:21:03.779 --> 00:21:08.150
  • It makes my life meaningful, and the fourth thing is it will
  • 00:21:08.150 --> 00:21:11.086
  • Leave a legacy.
  • 00:21:11.086 --> 00:21:13.689
  • It will leave a legacy.
  • 00:21:13.689 --> 00:21:15.390
  • You will leave a mark.
  • 00:21:15.390 --> 00:21:18.193
  • Actually, you'll leave two legacies: one on earth and one
  • 00:21:18.193 --> 00:21:21.897
  • In eternity.
  • 00:21:21.897 --> 00:21:23.231
  • The one on earth isn't gonna last very long, because after
  • 00:21:23.231 --> 00:21:26.168
  • About three generations, everybody forgets you.
  • 00:21:26.168 --> 00:21:29.071
  • Given enough time, all your trophies are gonna be trashed.
  • 00:21:29.071 --> 00:21:33.408
  • All the things you think are so cool right now, two generations,
  • 00:21:33.408 --> 00:21:36.611
  • Nobody even gonna care.
  • 00:21:36.611 --> 00:21:37.946
  • You may get your name on a building, nobody's even gonna
  • 00:21:37.946 --> 00:21:39.448
  • Ask, "who was that person?"
  • 00:21:39.448 --> 00:21:41.783
  • So what?
  • 00:21:41.783 --> 00:21:43.151
  • But the rewards you get in eternity are gonna go on and on
  • 00:21:43.151 --> 00:21:46.154
  • And on and on forever.
  • 00:21:46.154 --> 00:21:48.824
  • But when you begin to serve, what it does is it gives you
  • 00:21:48.824 --> 00:21:53.662
  • A reputation.
  • 00:21:53.662 --> 00:21:55.030
  • The bible says this, proverbs 10, verse 7: "good people will
  • 00:21:55.030 --> 00:22:00.302
  • Be remembered as a blessing."
  • 00:22:00.302 --> 00:22:03.839
  • Let me ask you, what do you-- what are you gonna be
  • 00:22:03.839 --> 00:22:08.043
  • Remembered for?
  • 00:22:08.043 --> 00:22:10.145
  • If you were to die tomorrow, would people say, "man, that
  • 00:22:10.145 --> 00:22:12.481
  • Person was a real blessing.
  • 00:22:12.481 --> 00:22:14.349
  • They really lived for other people.
  • 00:22:14.349 --> 00:22:15.717
  • They served, they were sharing, they were generous,
  • 00:22:15.717 --> 00:22:18.353
  • They were kind.
  • 00:22:18.353 --> 00:22:19.688
  • They were always thinking of other people," or would they
  • 00:22:19.688 --> 00:22:21.022
  • Think, "well, they were pretty self-centered.
  • 00:22:21.022 --> 00:22:22.991
  • They only had their goals, they only went after what
  • 00:22:22.991 --> 00:22:24.726
  • They wanted.
  • 00:22:24.726 --> 00:22:26.094
  • They didn't really care about anybody else.
  • 00:22:26.094 --> 00:22:28.563
  • Didn't take care of their wife or their kids or any, and they
  • 00:22:28.563 --> 00:22:30.766
  • Just lived their life, did what they wanted to do."
  • 00:22:30.766 --> 00:22:34.703
  • What do you wanna be known for?
  • 00:22:34.703 --> 00:22:36.872
  • "good people will be remembered as a blessing."
  • 00:22:36.872 --> 00:22:40.842
  • Now, the truth is everybody wants their life to count.
  • 00:22:40.842 --> 00:22:44.079
  • Deep down inside of you, you want your life to
  • 00:22:44.079 --> 00:22:46.314
  • Have significance.
  • 00:22:46.314 --> 00:22:47.749
  • You want your life to have meaning.
  • 00:22:47.749 --> 00:22:49.184
  • You want your life to have purpose.
  • 00:22:49.184 --> 00:22:50.719
  • You want to do something great with your life.
  • 00:22:50.719 --> 00:22:53.522
  • Everybody wants that, and there's nothing wrong with that,
  • 00:22:53.522 --> 00:22:56.224
  • To do something great with your life.
  • 00:22:56.224 --> 00:22:58.160
  • You ought to want to do something great with your life.
  • 00:22:58.160 --> 00:23:00.462
  • Here's how jesus said you become great.
  • 00:23:00.462 --> 00:23:02.931
  • Matthew 20:26: "if you wanna be great, you must be the servant
  • 00:23:02.931 --> 00:23:10.071
  • Of all the others."
  • 00:23:10.071 --> 00:23:12.774
  • The more you serve, the greater you're gonna be.
  • 00:23:12.774 --> 00:23:16.278
  • The more you serve, the more influence you'll have.
  • 00:23:16.278 --> 00:23:18.780
  • I call it the mother teresa syndrome.
  • 00:23:18.780 --> 00:23:21.783
  • Mother teresa went to the poorest of the poor, the most
  • 00:23:21.783 --> 00:23:25.854
  • Outcast of the outcast in calcutta, india, to people who
  • 00:23:25.854 --> 00:23:29.424
  • Are on the street and dying.
  • 00:23:29.424 --> 00:23:31.259
  • Nobody has less influence than them.
  • 00:23:31.259 --> 00:23:33.428
  • And she began to take the dying into her home, and she cared for
  • 00:23:33.428 --> 00:23:36.398
  • Them, and she began to serve those that everybody was
  • 00:23:36.398 --> 00:23:39.034
  • Trampling over.
  • 00:23:39.034 --> 00:23:41.203
  • And then she went to the least influential people of life.
  • 00:23:41.203 --> 00:23:45.740
  • God gave her enormous influence around the world, so that she
  • 00:23:45.740 --> 00:23:49.244
  • Could walk into the congress and everybody would listen.
  • 00:23:49.244 --> 00:23:51.613
  • She could walk into the united nations and everybody
  • 00:23:51.613 --> 00:23:53.548
  • Would listen.
  • 00:23:53.548 --> 00:23:56.151
  • If you want to be great, you learn to be the servant of all.
  • 00:23:56.151 --> 00:24:00.155
  • You know, for 30 years, i've been training leaders around the
  • 00:24:00.155 --> 00:24:02.457
  • World, you know, lots of different countries.
  • 00:24:02.457 --> 00:24:06.061
  • And i've discovered that when i hold a leadership seminar,
  • 00:24:06.061 --> 00:24:09.431
  • It's packed out.
  • 00:24:09.431 --> 00:24:10.765
  • If i call it a service seminar, nobody wants to come.
  • 00:24:10.765 --> 00:24:15.537
  • In fact, even when we want to be servants, we say, "well, we want
  • 00:24:15.537 --> 00:24:18.039
  • To be a servant leader."
  • 00:24:18.039 --> 00:24:19.374
  • Why not just leave the leader part off, just be a servant.
  • 00:24:19.374 --> 00:24:21.877
  • If you wanna be a great, learn to be the servant of all.
  • 00:24:21.877 --> 00:24:24.746
  • If you go onto amazon.com, for every 500 books on leadership,
  • 00:24:24.746 --> 00:24:28.650
  • You'll find one book on being a servant.
  • 00:24:28.650 --> 00:24:32.053
  • We got our values all upside down.
  • 00:24:32.053 --> 00:24:34.055
  • The way you become great is by giving your life away.
  • 00:24:34.055 --> 00:24:38.193
  • You say, "but nobody's gonna see my secret acts of service."
  • 00:24:38.193 --> 00:24:41.696
  • God will.
  • 00:24:41.696 --> 00:24:43.098
  • Like, if you clean up that table when everybody's left the room,
  • 00:24:43.098 --> 00:24:46.401
  • God will see that.
  • 00:24:46.401 --> 00:24:47.936
  • And the bible says this in hebrews 6:10: "god is fair; he
  • 00:24:47.936 --> 00:24:52.274
  • Will not forget the work you did and the love you showed for him
  • 00:24:52.274 --> 00:24:55.877
  • By helping his people.
  • 00:24:55.877 --> 00:24:57.746
  • And he will remember that you are still helping them."
  • 00:24:57.746 --> 00:25:01.516
  • In fact, jesus makes this promise in john 12:26:
  • 00:25:01.516 --> 00:25:05.854
  • "my father will honor anyone who serves me."
  • 00:25:05.854 --> 00:25:08.957
  • And if you want to leave a legacy, then you need to
  • 00:25:08.957 --> 00:25:12.060
  • Start serving.
  • 00:25:12.060 --> 00:25:14.062
  • Unselfishly, doing something with your life that you don't
  • 00:25:14.062 --> 00:25:17.165
  • Get something back for, you know, monetarily.
  • 00:25:17.165 --> 00:25:21.169
  • You've heard me say before that the greatest use of life is to
  • 00:25:21.169 --> 00:25:24.239
  • Invest it in that which outlasts it.
  • 00:25:24.239 --> 00:25:27.642
  • You got three choices with your life.
  • 00:25:27.642 --> 00:25:29.411
  • You can spend your life, you can waste your life, you can invest
  • 00:25:29.411 --> 00:25:32.414
  • Your life.
  • 00:25:32.414 --> 00:25:33.748
  • And the best use of your life is to invest it in that which will
  • 00:25:33.748 --> 00:25:36.184
  • Outlast it.
  • 00:25:36.184 --> 00:25:38.053
  • There are only two things that are gonna last in the world.
  • 00:25:38.053 --> 00:25:40.855
  • Only two: the word of god and people.
  • 00:25:40.855 --> 00:25:44.593
  • So if you build your life on the word of god and the people, then
  • 00:25:44.593 --> 00:25:48.263
  • You are building your life on the things that are gonna last.
  • 00:25:48.263 --> 00:25:56.605
