  • His dump button. he knew to bring
  • 00:02:15.287 --> 00:02:15.721

  • That stuff to god and to do the next best thing.
  • 00:02:17.789 --> 00:02:21.627
  • And to do the next best thing. he knew that there

  • He knew that there needs to be a delay
  • 00:02:23.495 --> 00:02:25.597
  • Needs to be a delay between what you feel --
  • 00:02:25.664 --> 00:02:27.666
  • Between what you feel -- oh, help me --
  • 00:02:27.733 --> 00:02:29.434
  • Oh, help me -- and what you do.
  • 00:02:29.501 --> 00:02:33.805
  • And what you do. if you're thinking about
  • 00:02:33.872 --> 00:02:34.306
  • If you're thinking about going to see a therapist
  • 00:02:34.373 --> 00:02:35.240
  • Going to see a therapist soon for your problems,
  • 00:02:35.307 --> 00:02:36.275
  • Soon for your problems, one thing they're gonna
  • 00:02:36.341 --> 00:02:36.775
  • One thing they're gonna teach you that i'll just
  • 00:02:36.842 --> 00:02:37.643
  • Teach you that i'll just give you for free,
  • 00:02:37.709 --> 00:02:38.243
  • Give you for free, and then you can go on
  • 00:02:38.310 --> 00:02:38.977
  • And then you can go on and see them
  • 00:02:39.044 --> 00:02:39.444
  • And see them and break it all the way down.
  • 00:02:39.511 --> 00:02:40.913
  • And break it all the way down. they're gonna tell you,
  • 00:02:40.979 --> 00:02:41.980
  • They're gonna tell you, "you need to put a bigger gap
  • 00:02:42.047 --> 00:02:43.549
  • "you need to put a bigger gap between the thoughts,
  • 00:02:43.615 --> 00:02:44.316
  • Between the thoughts, and the feelings,
  • 00:02:44.383 --> 00:02:44.850
  • And the feelings, and the actions,
  • 00:02:44.917 --> 00:02:47.553
  • And the actions, so you can process it
  • 00:02:47.619 --> 00:02:48.654
  • So you can process it and go like this,
  • 00:02:48.720 --> 00:02:49.288
  • And go like this, 'is this how i wanna respond?'"
  • 00:02:49.354 --> 00:02:51.590
  • 'is this how i wanna respond?'" or a dump button,
  • 00:02:51.657 --> 00:02:54.560
  • Or a dump button, as me and david
  • 00:02:54.626 --> 00:02:55.260
  • As me and david like to call it.
  • 00:02:55.327 --> 00:02:56.962
  • Like to call it. i think it's important
  • 00:02:57.029 --> 00:02:58.197
  • I think it's important that we get this
  • 00:02:58.263 --> 00:02:58.897
  • That we get this because when he says,
  • 00:02:58.964 --> 00:02:59.498
  • Because when he says, "his praise will continue
  • 00:02:59.565 --> 00:03:00.098
  • "his praise will continue to be in my mouth,"
  • 00:03:00.165 --> 00:03:00.899
  • To be in my mouth," that doesn't mean
  • 00:03:00.966 --> 00:03:01.567
  • That doesn't mean that's everything
  • 00:03:01.633 --> 00:03:02.100
  • That's everything that was going
  • 00:03:02.167 --> 00:03:02.668
  • That was going through his mind.
  • 00:03:02.734 --> 00:03:05.204

  • He was the first one who delivered the nation
  • 00:04:40.966 --> 00:04:42.567
  • Who delivered the nation from the philistines
  • 00:04:42.634 --> 00:04:44.069
  • From the philistines and the bible said that
  • 00:04:44.136 --> 00:04:44.770
  • And the bible said that he subdued those enemies.
  • 00:04:44.836 --> 00:04:47.539
  • He subdued those enemies. how did he do it?
  • 00:04:47.606 --> 00:04:50.676
  • How did he do it? what did david know
  • 00:04:50.742 --> 00:04:52.577
  • What did david know that saul didn't
  • 00:04:52.644 --> 00:04:54.146
  • That saul didn't that enabled him
  • 00:04:54.212 --> 00:04:55.681
  • That enabled him to defeat the philistines,
  • 00:04:55.747 --> 00:04:57.783
  • To defeat the philistines, and when did he learn it?
  • 00:04:57.849 --> 00:05:01.753
  • And when did he learn it? i suggest that
  • 00:05:01.820 --> 00:05:03.889
  • In those 16 months
  • 00:05:03.989 --> 00:05:06.658
  • In those 16 months that he went
  • 00:05:06.725 --> 00:05:07.025
  • That he went to be a mercenary,
  • 00:05:07.092 --> 00:05:09.695
  • To be a mercenary, he was learning what time
  • 00:05:09.761 --> 00:05:10.862
  • He was learning what time they eat breakfast
  • 00:05:10.929 --> 00:05:13.198
  • They eat breakfast and what time
  • 00:05:13.265 --> 00:05:13.765
  • And what time they went to bed.
  • 00:05:13.832 --> 00:05:18.570
  • David saw that 16 months
  • 00:05:18.670 --> 00:05:21.907
  • David saw that 16 months as a time where he was trapped,
  • 00:05:21.973 --> 00:05:25.177
  • As a time where he was trapped, god saw it as training.
  • 00:05:25.243 --> 00:05:28.280
  • God saw it as training. [applause]
  • 00:05:28.347 --> 00:05:36.655
  • [applause] can i tell you a time
  • 00:05:36.722 --> 00:05:37.189
  • Can i tell you a time god did that to me?
  • 00:05:37.255 --> 00:05:37.989
  • God did that to me? when we started this church
  • 00:05:38.056 --> 00:05:38.890
  • When we started this church there were three
  • 00:05:38.957 --> 00:05:39.591
  • There were three different people.
  • 00:05:39.658 --> 00:05:40.592
  • Different people. two of them were ministries,
  • 00:05:40.659 --> 00:05:42.127
  • Two of them were ministries, one of them was
  • 00:05:42.194 --> 00:05:42.561
  • One of them was an individual that said
  • 00:05:42.627 --> 00:05:43.962
  • An individual that said they were gonna pay
  • 00:05:44.029 --> 00:05:44.696
  • They were gonna pay my health insurance
  • 00:05:44.763 --> 00:05:45.630
  • My health insurance and my salary
  • 00:05:45.697 --> 00:05:46.498
  • And my salary so we could start the church,
  • 00:05:46.565 --> 00:05:47.599
  • So we could start the church, 'cause the church didn't
  • 00:05:47.666 --> 00:05:48.100
  • 'cause the church didn't have that many people.
  • 00:05:48.166 --> 00:05:50.268
  • Have that many people. they said, "we don't want you
  • 00:05:50.335 --> 00:05:51.002
  • They said, "we don't want you to be burning yourself out
  • 00:05:51.069 --> 00:05:52.137
  • To be burning yourself out traveling and doing all this.
  • 00:05:52.204 --> 00:05:53.605
  • Traveling and doing all this. we're gonna pay it."
  • 00:05:53.672 --> 00:05:54.673
  • We're gonna pay it." one by one they all backed out,
  • 00:05:54.740 --> 00:05:56.174
  • One by one they all backed out, for different reasons.
  • 00:05:56.241 --> 00:05:56.908
  • For different reasons. and no hard feelings
  • 00:05:56.975 --> 00:05:58.110
  • And no hard feelings toward them,
  • 00:05:58.176 --> 00:05:58.944
  • Toward them, but what i felt
  • 00:05:59.010 --> 00:05:59.578
  • But what i felt having a little baby,
  • 00:05:59.644 --> 00:06:01.279
  • Having a little baby, 'cause elijah, my oldest,
  • 00:06:01.346 --> 00:06:02.614
  • 'cause elijah, my oldest, is the same age as the church,
  • 00:06:02.681 --> 00:06:04.282
  • Is the same age as the church, and we had that baby
  • 00:06:04.349 --> 00:06:04.883
  • And we had that baby when we're moving.
  • 00:06:04.950 --> 00:06:05.450
  • When we're moving. i remember when chuck said,
  • 00:06:05.517 --> 00:06:06.451
  • I remember when chuck said, "well, we just need to step up
  • 00:06:06.518 --> 00:06:07.552
  • "well, we just need to step up and teach people to trust god
  • 00:06:07.619 --> 00:06:09.521
  • And teach people to trust god with the tithe
  • 00:06:09.588 --> 00:06:10.255
  • With the tithe and build the church,
  • 00:06:10.322 --> 00:06:10.956
  • And build the church, and trust god in this area."
  • 00:06:11.022 --> 00:06:13.158
  • And trust god in this area." and i thought like, "wow,
  • 00:06:13.225 --> 00:06:14.459
  • And i thought like, "wow, is that really
  • 00:06:14.526 --> 00:06:15.260
  • Is that really what this is for?"
  • 00:06:15.327 --> 00:06:16.261
  • What this is for?" and it was --
  • 00:06:16.328 --> 00:06:16.895
  • And it was -- it was.
  • 00:06:16.962 --> 00:06:19.364
  • It was. if i had had those people
  • 00:06:19.431 --> 00:06:20.899
  • If i had had those people do it for me,
  • 00:06:20.966 --> 00:06:23.702
  • Do it for me, i probably would have
  • 00:06:23.769 --> 00:06:24.202
  • I probably would have trusted them.
  • 00:06:24.269 --> 00:06:25.203
  • Trusted them. [cheering and applause]
  • 00:06:25.270 --> 00:06:27.172
  • [cheering and applause] who am i preaching to?
  • 00:06:27.239 --> 00:06:28.940
  • Who am i preaching to? this is not about me,
  • 00:06:29.007 --> 00:06:30.041
  • This is not about me, i'm looking for you.
  • 00:06:30.108 --> 00:06:32.711
  • I'm looking for you. if they did what
  • 00:06:32.778 --> 00:06:34.279
  • If they did what i wanted them to do,
  • 00:06:34.346 --> 00:06:36.915
  • I wanted them to do, i wouldn't have seen
  • 00:06:36.982 --> 00:06:38.250
  • I wouldn't have seen what god can do.
  • 00:06:38.316 --> 00:06:42.521
  • What god can do. and are you in
  • 00:06:42.587 --> 00:06:43.288
  • And are you in a season right now,
  • 00:06:43.355 --> 00:06:44.389
  • A season right now, i'm asking,
  • 00:06:44.456 --> 00:06:45.424
  • I'm asking, where god is teaching
  • 00:06:45.490 --> 00:06:47.692
  • Where god is teaching you to trust?
  • 00:06:47.759 --> 00:06:49.795
  • You to trust? but it doesn't
  • 00:06:49.861 --> 00:06:50.629
  • But it doesn't feel like training,
  • 00:06:50.695 --> 00:06:52.230
  • Feel like training, it feels like
  • 00:06:52.297 --> 00:06:53.098
  • It feels like painting a fence.
  • 00:06:53.165 --> 00:06:54.566
  • Painting a fence. it doesn't feel like training,
  • 00:06:54.633 --> 00:06:56.368
  • It doesn't feel like training, it feels like waxing a car.
  • 00:06:56.435 --> 00:06:58.470
  • It feels like waxing a car. i might as well finish off
  • 00:06:58.537 --> 00:06:59.805
  • I might as well finish off all my references today.
  • 00:06:59.871 --> 00:07:01.306
  • All my references today. this is my last shot to do it.
  • 00:07:01.373 --> 00:07:03.341
  • This is my last shot to do it. it doesn't feel like
  • 00:07:03.408 --> 00:07:04.643
  • It doesn't feel like training, but it is.
  • 00:07:04.709 --> 00:07:06.812
  • Training, but it is. but you don't know that
  • 00:07:06.878 --> 00:07:09.281
  • But you don't know that until you look back on it.
  • 00:07:09.347 --> 00:07:12.717
  • Until you look back on it. you don't know that
  • 00:07:12.784 --> 00:07:14.653
  • You don't know that while it's happening.
  • 00:07:14.719 --> 00:07:16.822
  • While it's happening. you don't know that
  • 00:07:16.888 --> 00:07:18.190
  • You don't know that while they're saying,
  • 00:07:18.256 --> 00:07:19.157
  • While they're saying, "i think we need to see
  • 00:07:19.224 --> 00:07:20.125
  • "i think we need to see other people.
  • 00:07:20.192 --> 00:07:20.759
  • Other people. it's not you, it's me.

  • 00:07:21.760 --> 00:07:22.928
  • It's not me, it's you." whatever the thing is.
  • 00:07:22.994 --> 00:07:23.795
  • Whatever the thing is. however, they say it,
  • 00:07:23.862 --> 00:07:24.629
  • However, they say it, it still hurts.
  • 00:07:24.696 --> 00:07:25.964
  • It still hurts. you don't know
  • 00:07:26.031 --> 00:07:28.200
  • You don't know at the time that --
  • 00:07:28.266 --> 00:07:31.570

  • And feeling the silence of a prayer
  • 00:08:11.309 --> 00:08:12.244
  • Of a prayer that bounces back down

  • The sting of your tears about the situation
  • 00:08:43.341 --> 00:08:44.609
  • About the situation that god won't change.
  • 00:08:44.676 --> 00:08:45.744

  • When we were writing it, something didn't sound right,
