- 00:05:33.318 --> 00:05:34.986
- A little growing room." and i think that leaving room
- 00:05:35.053 --> 00:05:36.455
- And i think that leaving room for disappointment that's what
- 00:05:36.521 --> 00:05:37.723
- I mean by integrated faith,
- 00:05:37.823 --> 00:05:40.325
- I mean by integrated faith, it's really how our faith is
- 00:05:40.392 --> 00:05:41.360
- It's really how our faith is sustained so that we see
- 00:05:41.426 --> 00:05:43.395
- Sustained so that we see disappointments as doorways
- 00:05:43.462 --> 00:05:44.896
- Disappointments as doorways to greater faith not dead ends.
- 00:05:44.963 --> 00:05:49.434
- To greater faith not dead ends. in case the first few years
- 00:05:49.501 --> 00:05:51.203
- In case the first few years of your walk with god
- 00:05:51.269 --> 00:05:53.171
- Of your walk with god have been confusing to you,
- 00:05:53.238 --> 00:05:54.806
- Have been confusing to you, because at first
- 00:05:54.873 --> 00:05:56.041
- Because at first things seem to go up
- 00:05:56.108 --> 00:05:56.842
- Things seem to go up when you walked with god
- 00:05:56.908 --> 00:05:58.276
- When you walked with god and then things went down
- 00:05:58.343 --> 00:06:00.178
- And then things went down and you thought that
- 00:06:00.245 --> 00:06:00.812
- And you thought that following god was always
- 00:06:00.879 --> 00:06:01.747
- Following god was always going to lead you up.
- 00:06:01.813 --> 00:06:02.981
- Going to lead you up. god wants to give you
- 00:06:03.048 --> 00:06:03.882
- God wants to give you an integrated faith.
- 00:06:03.949 --> 00:06:06.351
- An integrated faith. in case the first few days
- 00:06:06.418 --> 00:06:08.253
- In case the first few days of your new year have sucked --
- 00:06:08.320 --> 00:06:11.857
- Of your new year have sucked -- and, i thought about saying,
- 00:06:11.923 --> 00:06:12.691
- And, i thought about saying, "have been
- 00:06:12.758 --> 00:06:13.525
- "have been spiritually challenging,"
- 00:06:13.592 --> 00:06:15.060
- Spiritually challenging," but when it sucks it sucks.
- 00:06:15.127 --> 00:06:16.061
- [laughter]
- 00:06:16.495 --> 00:06:17.729
- You know, i just put it
- 00:06:18.063 --> 00:06:19.464
- You know, i just put it how you put it.
- 00:06:19.531 --> 00:06:20.265
- How you put it. this is like, this is
- 00:06:20.332 --> 00:06:21.466
- This is like, this is the same old, same old.
- 00:06:21.533 --> 00:06:23.168
- The same old, same old. what we wanna talk about today
- 00:06:23.235 --> 00:06:25.036
- What we wanna talk about today is a little bit different,
- 00:06:25.103 --> 00:06:25.871
- Is a little bit different, because we understand that
- 00:06:25.937 --> 00:06:27.339
- Because we understand that it is our responsibility
- 00:06:27.406 --> 00:06:29.007
- It is our responsibility as christian people
- 00:06:29.074 --> 00:06:30.675
- As christian people to manage our expectation.
- 00:06:30.742 --> 00:06:33.545
- To manage our expectation. meaning, i've gotta make sure
- 00:06:33.612 --> 00:06:36.515
- Meaning, i've gotta make sure that i don't let my experiences
- 00:06:36.581 --> 00:06:37.916
- That i don't let my experiences in life regulate
- 00:06:37.983 --> 00:06:40.485
- In life regulate my expectations of god.
- 00:06:40.552 --> 00:06:43.455
- My expectations of god. write this down, i will not...
- 00:06:43.522 --> 00:06:45.090
- Write this down, i will not... >> congregation: i will not.
- 00:06:45.157 --> 00:06:46.358
- >> congregation: i will not. >> or say it out loud,
- 00:06:46.425 --> 00:06:47.192
- >> or say it out loud, whatever you wanna do
- 00:06:47.259 --> 00:06:48.627
- Whatever you wanna do to reinforce it.
- 00:06:48.693 --> 00:06:50.128
- To reinforce it. auditory learning, okay.
- 00:06:50.195 --> 00:06:51.463
- Auditory learning, okay. let's just say it out loud,
- 00:06:51.530 --> 00:06:52.197
- Let's just say it out loud, "i will not...
- 00:06:52.264 --> 00:06:53.031
- "i will not... >> congregation: i will not...
- 00:06:53.098 --> 00:06:53.865
- >> congregation: i will not... >> allow my experience
- 00:06:53.932 --> 00:06:55.133
- >> allow my experience in life...
- 00:06:55.200 --> 00:06:56.101
- In life... >> congregation: allow
- 00:06:56.168 --> 00:06:56.802
- >> congregation: allow my experience in life...
- 00:06:56.868 --> 00:06:58.203
- >> to regulate my expectation
- 00:06:58.303 --> 00:07:00.071
- >> to regulate my expectation of god."
- 00:07:00.138 --> 00:07:00.639
- Of god." >> congregation: to regulate
- 00:07:00.705 --> 00:07:01.573
- >> congregation: to regulate my expectation of god.
- 00:07:01.640 --> 00:07:03.442
- My expectation of god. >> that is a daily decision
- 00:07:03.508 --> 00:07:05.210
- >> that is a daily decision you've gotta make.
- 00:07:05.277 --> 00:07:07.279
- You've gotta make. and, i think that alot
- 00:07:07.345 --> 00:07:09.080
- And, i think that alot of the damaged relationships
- 00:07:09.147 --> 00:07:11.216
- Of the damaged relationships in our life are because
- 00:07:11.283 --> 00:07:12.050
- In our life are because of unmanaged expectations,
- 00:07:12.117 --> 00:07:15.821
- That we really started
- 00:07:15.921 --> 00:07:17.422
- That we really started depending on somebody to do
- 00:07:17.489 --> 00:07:18.356
- Depending on somebody to do things for us that only god
- 00:07:18.423 --> 00:07:19.224
- Things for us that only god could do for us.
- 00:07:19.291 --> 00:07:21.660
- Could do for us. we really started
- 00:07:21.726 --> 00:07:22.561
- We really started expecting things to be like
- 00:07:22.627 --> 00:07:24.896
- Expecting things to be like the perfect little movies
- 00:07:24.963 --> 00:07:25.931
- The perfect little movies we make up in our mind
- 00:07:25.997 --> 00:07:26.898
- We make up in our mind of how things are supposed
- 00:07:26.965 --> 00:07:28.633
- Of how things are supposed to go when we show up.
- 00:07:28.700 --> 00:07:31.470
- To go when we show up. and so, the integrated faith
- 00:07:31.536 --> 00:07:32.370
- And so, the integrated faith that isaiah describes,
- 00:07:32.437 --> 00:07:33.872
- That isaiah describes, really beautiful because
- 00:07:33.939 --> 00:07:35.173
- Really beautiful because he says that
- 00:07:35.240 --> 00:07:36.441
- He says that there's two things happening,
- 00:07:36.508 --> 00:07:38.310
- There's two things happening, there is a fight --
- 00:07:38.376 --> 00:07:40.445
- There is a fight -- everybody say, "fight."
- 00:07:40.512 --> 00:07:41.580
- Everybody say, "fight." >> congregation: fight.
- 00:07:41.646 --> 00:07:42.214
- >> congregation: fight. >> that's verse one
- 00:07:42.280 --> 00:07:43.081
- Of isaiah 27,
- 00:07:43.181 --> 00:07:44.516
- Of isaiah 27, "and that day the lord
- 00:07:44.583 --> 00:07:45.417
- "and that day the lord will punish with his sword,"
- 00:07:45.484 --> 00:07:46.585
- Will punish with his sword," now you don't have a sword
- 00:07:46.651 --> 00:07:48.053
- Now you don't have a sword if you just going through life
- 00:07:48.119 --> 00:07:50.021
- If you just going through life strolling through your day.
- 00:07:50.088 --> 00:07:51.423
- Strolling through your day. so, there's a fight happening,
- 00:07:51.490 --> 00:07:53.358
- So, there's a fight happening, and then in verse two it says,
- 00:07:53.425 --> 00:07:55.060
- And then in verse two it says, "in that day sing about
- 00:07:55.126 --> 00:07:56.862
- "in that day sing about a fruitful vineyard."
- 00:07:56.928 --> 00:07:57.762
- A fruitful vineyard." so, let me point
- 00:07:57.829 --> 00:07:58.330
- Something out to you,
- 00:07:58.430 --> 00:07:59.397
- Something out to you, there is a sword
- 00:07:59.464 --> 00:08:01.299
- There is a sword in verse one and there's
- 00:08:01.366 --> 00:08:03.168
- In verse one and there's a song in verse two.
- 00:08:03.235 --> 00:08:06.371
- A song in verse two. but the sword
- 00:08:06.438 --> 00:08:08.006
- But the sword and the song are happening
- 00:08:08.073 --> 00:08:10.408
- And the song are happening on the same day.
- 00:08:10.475 --> 00:08:12.177
- On the same day. okay.
- 00:08:12.244 --> 00:08:14.446
- Okay. this integrated faith
- 00:08:14.513 --> 00:08:16.047
- This integrated faith will make me get up
- 00:08:16.114 --> 00:08:17.015
- Will make me get up in the morning
- 00:08:17.082 --> 00:08:17.883
- In the morning and never say again,
- 00:08:17.949 --> 00:08:19.451
- And never say again, "it's gonna be one
- 00:08:19.518 --> 00:08:20.318
- "it's gonna be one of those days,"
- 00:08:20.385 --> 00:08:23.188
- Of those days," because it's always going
- 00:08:23.255 --> 00:08:24.155
- Because it's always going to be one of those days.
- 00:08:24.222 --> 00:08:26.925
- To be one of those days. i almost got discouraged before
- 00:08:26.992 --> 00:08:28.226
- I almost got discouraged before i came out today 'cause my hair
- 00:08:28.293 --> 00:08:30.395
- Right there was flat
- 00:08:30.495 --> 00:08:31.396
- Right there was flat and i couldn't get it up
- 00:08:31.463 --> 00:08:32.497
- And i couldn't get it up and i was going,
- 00:08:32.564 --> 00:08:33.265
- And i was going, "oh god how am i gonna preach
- 00:08:33.331 --> 00:08:34.399
- "oh god how am i gonna preach if my hair is flat right there?"
- 00:08:34.466 --> 00:08:35.567
- If my hair is flat right there?" are you serious?
- 00:08:35.634 --> 00:08:36.201
- Are you serious? you have the word of god
- 00:08:36.268 --> 00:08:37.802
- You have the word of god and the spirit of god
- 00:08:37.869 --> 00:08:39.204
- And the spirit of god and you gon' have a bad hair day
- 00:08:39.271 --> 00:08:41.172
- And you gon' have a bad hair day and get up in the pulpit
- 00:08:41.239 --> 00:08:42.307
- And get up in the pulpit without confidence.
- 00:08:42.374 --> 00:08:43.341
- Without confidence. and, i think i fixed it,
- 00:08:43.408 --> 00:08:44.075
- And, i think i fixed it, but i'm still not really sure
- 00:08:44.142 --> 00:08:45.477
- But i'm still not really sure so i'm kinda insecure
- 00:08:45.544 --> 00:08:46.545
- So i'm kinda insecure as i stand before you.
- 00:08:46.611 --> 00:08:49.447
- It's amazing.
- 00:08:49.548 --> 00:08:50.248
- It's amazing. it doesn't take much
- 00:08:50.315 --> 00:08:52.350
- It doesn't take much to remove us from
- 00:08:52.417 --> 00:08:54.519
- To remove us from a hopeful expectation.
- 00:08:54.586 --> 00:08:58.089
- A hopeful expectation. my expectation
- 00:08:58.156 --> 00:09:00.392
- My expectation is my responsibility.
- 00:09:00.458 --> 00:09:04.029
- Is my responsibility. nobody can ruin my day.
- 00:09:04.095 --> 00:09:11.836
- Nobody can ruin my day. i got a verse for that,
- 00:09:11.903 --> 00:09:13.538
- I got a verse for that, psalm 118:24.
- 00:09:13.605 --> 00:09:16.675
- Psalm 118:24. it's the year 2024, right?
- 00:09:16.741 --> 00:09:19.010
- It's the year 2024, right? alright.
- 00:09:19.077 --> 00:09:19.811
- Alright. this is a verse 24 for you,
- 00:09:19.878 --> 00:09:21.279
- This is a verse 24 for you, "this is the day...
- 00:09:21.346 --> 00:09:22.747
- "this is the day... >> congregation: that the lord
- 00:09:22.814 --> 00:09:23.815
- >> congregation: that the lord has made.
- 00:09:23.882 --> 00:09:24.115
- Has made. >> the lord has made.
- 00:09:24.182 --> 00:09:27.185
- >> the lord has made. we will rejoice
- 00:09:27.252 --> 00:09:30.155
- We will rejoice and be glad in it."
- 00:09:30.221 --> 00:09:32.891
- And be glad in it." so, if god made this day,
- 00:09:32.958 --> 00:09:35.994
- So, if god made this day, nobody else gets to mess it up.
- 00:09:36.061 --> 00:09:38.697
- Nobody else gets to mess it up. i used to say to people when
- 00:09:38.763 --> 00:09:39.598
- I used to say to people when they send me a nice text,
- 00:09:39.664 --> 00:09:40.365
- They send me a nice text, "you made my day,"
- 00:09:40.432 --> 00:09:41.166
- "you made my day," i quit saying that
- 00:09:41.232 --> 00:09:42.500
- I quit saying that 'cause i figure if they can
- 00:09:42.567 --> 00:09:43.234
- 'cause i figure if they can make my day by sending me
- 00:09:43.301 --> 00:09:44.502
- Make my day by sending me a nice text,
- 00:09:44.569 --> 00:09:46.571
- A nice text, they can mess up my day
- 00:09:46.638 --> 00:09:49.007
- They can mess up my day if they send me
- 00:09:49.074 --> 00:09:49.608
- If they send me another type of text.
- 00:09:49.674 --> 00:09:52.177
- Another type of text. now, we wanna get up
- 00:09:52.243 --> 00:09:52.811
- Every day this year and say,
- 00:09:52.911 --> 00:09:54.813
- Every day this year and say, "this is the day
- 00:09:54.879 --> 00:09:57.082
- "this is the day that the lord has made,
- 00:09:57.148 --> 00:09:59.451
- That the lord has made, i will rejoice
- 00:09:59.517 --> 00:10:01.086
- I will rejoice and be glad in it."
- 00:10:01.152 --> 00:10:02.287
- And be glad in it." so, it's the challenge,
- 00:10:02.354 --> 00:10:03.888
- Watch this, to remain
- 00:10:03.989 --> 00:10:06.391
- Watch this, to remain in hope while leaving room
- 00:10:06.458 --> 00:10:08.960
- In hope while leaving room for disappointment.
- 00:10:09.027 --> 00:10:10.629
- I think our expectations
- 00:10:10.729 --> 00:10:12.230
- I think our expectations this time of year
- 00:10:12.297 --> 00:10:13.898
- This time of year could use a little hgh,
- 00:10:13.965 --> 00:10:15.467
- Could use a little hgh, holy ghost hormone,
- 00:10:15.533 --> 00:10:18.403
- Holy ghost hormone, to get us on an expecting path,
- 00:10:18.470 --> 00:10:23.642
- To get us on an expecting path, that god has given me a hope
- 00:10:23.708 --> 00:10:24.776
- That god has given me a hope and future and an expected end.
- 00:10:24.843 --> 00:10:27.445
- And future and an expected end. no matter what they did
- 00:10:27.512 --> 00:10:28.513
- No matter what they did or didn't do for you,
- 00:10:28.580 --> 00:10:30.115
- Or didn't do for you, no matter who left
- 00:10:30.181 --> 00:10:31.149
- No matter who left or who stayed,
- 00:10:31.216 --> 00:10:32.117
- Or who stayed, or who called back
- 00:10:32.183 --> 00:10:32.984
- Or who called back or who blocked your number,
- 00:10:33.051 --> 00:10:34.819
- Or who blocked your number, i have an expected end.
- 00:10:34.886 --> 00:10:38.323
- And yet, as i walk through
- 00:10:38.423 --> 00:10:39.424
- And yet, as i walk through these days i understand that
- 00:10:39.491 --> 00:10:40.825
- These days i understand that my challenge is to remain.
- 00:10:40.892 --> 00:10:42.661
- My challenge is to remain. do you wanna take notes
- 00:10:42.727 --> 00:10:43.628
- Do you wanna take notes on my message today?
- 00:10:43.695 --> 00:10:44.863
- On my message today? my first word is "remain,"
- 00:10:44.929 --> 00:10:46.865
- My first word is "remain," because i wanna challenge you
- 00:10:46.931 --> 00:10:48.767
- Because i wanna challenge you to remain in hope this year
- 00:10:48.833 --> 00:10:52.337
- To remain in hope this year and leave room
- 00:10:52.404 --> 00:10:53.672
- And leave room for disappointment.
- 00:10:53.738 --> 00:10:55.173
- For disappointment. and you're like,
- 00:10:55.240 --> 00:10:55.707
- And you're like, "which one is it?"
- 00:10:55.774 --> 00:10:57.208
- "which one is it?" i want you to do both.
- 00:10:57.275 --> 00:10:59.577

- But notice that while the sword is fighting leviathan --
- 00:11:33.745 --> 00:11:35.013
- Is fighting leviathan -- because everybody has
- 00:11:35.080 --> 00:11:36.381

- Just completely blindsided by the fact that the lord
- 00:13:42.440 --> 00:13:43.675
- By the fact that the lord didn't give us a prophetic word
- 00:13:43.741 --> 00:13:44.976
- Didn't give us a prophetic word that we would be looking
- 00:13:45.043 --> 00:13:45.810

- I'm canceling easter." he was like five,
- 00:17:29.033 --> 00:17:29.767
- He was like five, so don't judge him like that.
- 00:17:29.834 --> 00:17:31.169
- [laughter]
- 00:17:31.369 --> 00:17:31.569

- He was five. but check this out
- 00:17:34.472 --> 00:17:35.039
- But check this out a five year old's perspective.

- A five year old's perspective. one day, when i'm the pastor.
- 00:17:36.541 --> 00:17:40.945

- Have you ever been a victim of one day when syndrome?
- 00:17:48.753 --> 00:17:52.723
- Of one day when syndrome? "yeah, i'm not doing
- 00:17:52.790 --> 00:17:54.158
- "yeah, i'm not doing too good right now,
- 00:17:54.225 --> 00:17:55.359
- Too good right now, but one day.
- 00:17:55.426 --> 00:17:57.862
- But one day. one day, when i get
- 00:17:57.929 --> 00:18:00.164
- One day, when i get these kids out the house."
- 00:18:00.231 --> 00:18:03.835
- These kids out the house." the problem i have
- 00:18:03.901 --> 00:18:05.036
- The problem i have with that plan,
- 00:18:05.103 --> 00:18:06.170
- With that plan, one day when i get
- 00:18:06.237 --> 00:18:06.871
- One day when i get the kids out the house,
- 00:18:06.938 --> 00:18:08.372
- The kids out the house, is that 20 years ago
- 00:18:08.439 --> 00:18:10.608
- Is that 20 years ago you were saying,
- 00:18:10.675 --> 00:18:11.342
- You were saying, "one day, when i have

- "one day, when i have kids of my own."
- 00:18:12.877 --> 00:18:16.114
- And now, it's shifted
- 00:18:16.214 --> 00:18:18.449
- And now, it's shifted to a future stage where
- 00:18:18.516 --> 00:18:19.550
- To a future stage where you think you'll have
- 00:18:19.617 --> 00:18:20.585
- You think you'll have more space and less stress.
- 00:18:20.651 --> 00:18:25.189
- More space and less stress. let's do another one.

- The right partner. i used to laugh when teams
- 00:18:33.030 --> 00:18:35.199
- I used to laugh when teams would come to see our church
- 00:18:35.266 --> 00:18:36.167
- Would come to see our church and they were starting
- 00:18:36.234 --> 00:18:37.034
- And they were starting their own church
- 00:18:37.101 --> 00:18:38.169
- Their own church and the pastor would
- 00:18:38.236 --> 00:18:39.036
- And the pastor would pull me a side and say,
- 00:18:39.103 --> 00:18:39.804
- Pull me a side and say, "hey, i got a gift,
- 00:18:39.871 --> 00:18:41.439

- And i can't start a church. i wanna reach people
