You're arguing with the wrong dude.
00:00:29.182 --> 00:00:30.583
The wrong dude. i know too much about it.
00:00:30.650 --> 00:00:32.919
I know too much about it. i've experienced it.
00:00:32.986 --> 00:00:33.887
I've experienced it. you may as well try to tell me,
00:00:33.953 --> 00:00:35.155
You may as well try to tell me, "holly can't cook."
00:00:35.221 --> 00:00:37.290
"holly can't cook." i've had too much of her food.
00:00:37.357 --> 00:00:39.592
I've had too much of her food. you can't convince me that
00:00:39.659 --> 00:00:41.227
You can't convince me that god's word doesn't work.
00:00:41.294 --> 00:00:43.263
God's word doesn't work. i have tasted and seen
00:00:43.329 --> 00:00:46.766
I have tasted and seen that the lord is good.
00:00:46.833 --> 00:00:47.600
That the lord is good. [applause]
00:00:47.667 --> 00:00:50.370
[applause] do you know how much doubt
00:00:50.437 --> 00:00:51.671
Do you know how much doubt i had about what i stood up
00:00:51.738 --> 00:00:52.772
I had about what i stood up to preach to you today?
00:00:52.839 --> 00:00:54.107
To preach to you today? zero.
00:00:54.174 --> 00:00:55.775
Zero. because it's working for me.
00:00:55.842 --> 00:00:58.511
Because it's working for me. i would feel sorry for
00:00:58.578 --> 00:00:59.846
I would feel sorry for a preacher who got up
00:00:59.913 --> 00:01:00.814
A preacher who got up and was just trying stuff out.
00:01:00.880 --> 00:01:03.216
And was just trying stuff out. "i hope this is a good sermon."
00:01:03.283 --> 00:01:04.484
"i hope this is a good sermon." i don't hope this is
00:01:04.551 --> 00:01:05.118
I don't hope this is a good sermon.
00:01:05.185 --> 00:01:06.820
A good sermon. this sermon has been
00:01:06.886 --> 00:01:07.687
This sermon has been inside of me working in me.
00:01:07.754 --> 00:01:12.292
Inside of me working in me. i mean, when i tell you
00:01:12.358 --> 00:01:13.026
I mean, when i tell you me and holly are tag team,
00:01:13.093 --> 00:01:13.927
Me and holly are tag team, and we talked all week
00:01:13.993 --> 00:01:14.828
And we talked all week about this.
00:01:14.894 --> 00:01:15.295
About this. what kind of work
00:01:15.361 --> 00:01:16.196
What kind of work has god called you to do,
00:01:16.262 --> 00:01:17.497
Has god called you to do, and where is the line
00:01:17.564 --> 00:01:18.698
And where is the line between us trying to work
00:01:18.765 --> 00:01:20.400
Between us trying to work to earn our own salvation
00:01:20.467 --> 00:01:22.202
To earn our own salvation versus accepting
00:01:22.268 --> 00:01:23.303
Versus accepting the grace of god?
00:01:23.369 --> 00:01:24.304
The grace of god? because people will try
00:01:24.370 --> 00:01:25.071
Because people will try to make them opposites
00:01:25.138 --> 00:01:25.939
To make them opposites and they're not opposites.
00:01:26.005 --> 00:01:28.641
And they're not opposites. the more grace you get
00:01:28.708 --> 00:01:30.376
The more grace you get from god for your situation,
00:01:30.443 --> 00:01:32.846
From god for your situation, the more stable you're gonna be
00:01:32.912 --> 00:01:34.114
The more stable you're gonna be to show up for it and fight
00:01:34.180 --> 00:01:35.381
To show up for it and fight the good fight of faith.
00:01:35.448 --> 00:01:36.483
The good fight of faith. [applause]
00:01:36.549 --> 00:01:38.051
[applause] so, these are not opposites.
00:01:38.118 --> 00:01:40.320
So, these are not opposites. the grace of god comes in order
00:01:40.386 --> 00:01:42.122
The grace of god comes in order to grow me into the person
00:01:42.188 --> 00:01:43.623
To grow me into the person that god has called me to be.
00:01:43.690 --> 00:01:45.191
That god has called me to be. [applause]
00:01:45.258 --> 00:01:46.659
[applause] and that is why god
00:01:46.726 --> 00:01:47.827
And that is why god does not start with
00:01:47.894 --> 00:01:50.029
Does not start with who you are right now,
00:01:50.096 --> 00:01:52.198
Who you are right now, he starts with what
00:01:52.265 --> 00:01:53.900
He starts with what he choose you to do,
00:01:53.967 --> 00:01:56.169
He choose you to do, what he called you to do.
00:01:56.236 --> 00:01:58.404
What he called you to do. god does not start with
00:01:58.471 --> 00:01:59.339
God does not start with your experience level.
00:01:59.405 --> 00:02:01.441
Your experience level. god works in reverse.
00:02:01.508 --> 00:02:06.312
God works in reverse. so, god knows what
00:02:06.379 --> 00:02:08.715
So, god knows what you need to build,
00:02:08.781 --> 00:02:10.049
You need to build, whether that's a business,
00:02:10.116 --> 00:02:11.684
Whether that's a business, whether that's a family,
00:02:11.751 --> 00:02:13.052
Whether that's a family, whether that's a discipline,
00:02:13.119 --> 00:02:14.621
Whether that's a discipline, whether that's a habit pattern,
00:02:14.687 --> 00:02:16.389
Whether that's a habit pattern, god knows what you
00:02:16.456 --> 00:02:19.492
God knows what you need to build.
00:02:19.559 --> 00:02:20.326
Need to build. and nobody else can build it
00:02:20.393 --> 00:02:22.028
And nobody else can build it 'cause he chose you to build it.
00:02:22.095 --> 00:02:23.296
'cause he chose you to build it. and if you don't do it,
00:02:23.363 --> 00:02:24.998
And if you don't do it, it won't get done.
00:02:25.064 --> 00:02:26.499
It won't get done. oh, you say, "but god will
00:02:26.566 --> 00:02:27.600
Oh, you say, "but god will do it through somebody else."
00:02:27.667 --> 00:02:28.701
Do it through somebody else." he will do it through
00:02:28.768 --> 00:02:30.170
He will do it through someone else but there will
00:02:30.236 --> 00:02:31.704
Someone else but there will be a great loss in the process
00:02:31.771 --> 00:02:34.807
Be a great loss in the process of you not choosing to do what
00:02:34.874 --> 00:02:37.277
Of you not choosing to do what god called you to do.
00:02:37.343 --> 00:02:38.311
God called you to do. [applause]
00:02:38.378 --> 00:02:40.613
[applause] that's why i holler,
00:02:40.680 --> 00:02:41.381
That's why i holler, that's why i scream because,
00:02:41.447 --> 00:02:43.216
That's why i scream because, do you really think that
00:02:43.283 --> 00:02:44.517
Do you really think that there aren't people listening
00:02:44.584 --> 00:02:45.718
There aren't people listening to me today who feels
00:02:45.785 --> 00:02:47.187
To me today who feels so abandoned, and so small,
00:02:47.253 --> 00:02:49.956
So abandoned, and so small, and so unchosen,
00:02:50.023 --> 00:02:51.624
And so unchosen, and so picked over,
00:02:51.691 --> 00:02:53.693
And so picked over, and so unwanted,
00:02:53.760 --> 00:02:54.794
And so unwanted, and so rejected,
00:02:54.861 --> 00:02:56.296
And so rejected, and so betrayed
00:02:56.362 --> 00:02:58.031
And so betrayed that even just to hear,
00:02:58.097 --> 00:02:59.699
That even just to hear, "god chose you.
00:02:59.766 --> 00:03:00.867
"god chose you. god wants you.
00:03:00.934 --> 00:03:02.135
God wants you. god sees you."
00:03:02.202 --> 00:03:03.336
God sees you." [applause]
00:03:03.403 --> 00:03:05.772
[applause] "god chose you.
00:03:05.838 --> 00:03:08.374
"god chose you. god wants you.
00:03:08.441 --> 00:03:10.777
God wants you. god sees you."
00:03:10.843 --> 00:03:12.779
God sees you." "god chooses the weak things
00:03:12.845 --> 00:03:16.382
"god chooses the weak things of the world
00:03:16.449 --> 00:03:18.184
Of the world to shame the strong."
00:03:18.251 --> 00:03:21.854
To shame the strong." you know why you like that
00:03:21.921 --> 00:03:22.689
You know why you like that so much when i said it?
00:03:22.755 --> 00:03:23.623
So much when i said it? 'cause it's a bible verse.
00:03:23.690 --> 00:03:25.491
'cause it's a bible verse. 1 corinthians 1:27,
00:03:25.558 --> 00:03:27.860
1 corinthians 1:27, "but god chose the weak things
00:03:27.927 --> 00:03:32.198
"but god chose the weak things of the world to shame
00:03:32.265 --> 00:03:34.567
Of the world to shame the strong."
00:03:34.634 --> 00:03:35.702
The strong." say it again, "god...
00:03:35.768 --> 00:03:37.470
Say it again, "god... >> congregation: god...
00:03:37.537 --> 00:03:38.071
>> congregation: god... >> chose."
00:03:38.137 --> 00:03:38.805
>> chose." >> congregation: chose.
00:03:38.871 --> 00:03:39.339
>> congregation: chose. >> that's what we started off
00:03:39.405 --> 00:03:40.240
>> that's what we started off saying, right?
00:03:40.306 --> 00:03:41.774
Saying, right? it's that god chose solomon.
00:03:41.841 --> 00:03:45.778
It's that god chose solomon. who was solomon?
00:03:45.845 --> 00:03:47.380
Who was solomon? he was the son that david
00:03:47.447 --> 00:03:48.348
Would have never chosen
00:03:48.448 --> 00:03:49.816
Would have never chosen to build the temple.
00:03:49.882 --> 00:03:52.151
To build the temple. david would have
00:03:52.218 --> 00:03:52.652
David would have chosen his son absalom.
00:03:52.719 --> 00:03:56.222
Chosen his son absalom. god chose solomon.
00:03:56.289 --> 00:03:57.557
Anybody wanna take a guess
00:04:01.094 --> 00:04:02.228
When david made the biggest
00:04:02.328 --> 00:04:03.596
When david made the biggest mistake of his life
00:04:03.663 --> 00:04:04.998
Mistake of his life and slept with bathsheba
00:04:05.064 --> 00:04:06.099
And slept with bathsheba and the child born was died,
00:04:06.165 --> 00:04:07.133
And the child born was died, and he went back to have
00:04:07.200 --> 00:04:07.867
And he went back to have another child.
00:04:07.934 --> 00:04:08.801
Another child. anybody wanna guess what
00:04:08.868 --> 00:04:12.272
Anybody wanna guess what the name of the child was
00:04:12.338 --> 00:04:13.139
The name of the child was that he had after his
00:04:13.206 --> 00:04:13.940
That he had after his greatest mistake?
00:04:14.007 --> 00:04:15.541
Greatest mistake? >> solomon.
00:04:15.608 --> 00:04:16.609
>> solomon. >> yeah.
00:04:16.676 --> 00:04:18.678
>> yeah. i thank you for having
00:04:18.745 --> 00:04:19.312
I thank you for having the boldness to say that
00:04:19.379 --> 00:04:20.280
The boldness to say that 'cause i think everybody else
00:04:20.346 --> 00:04:21.347
'cause i think everybody else in the church was like,
00:04:21.414 --> 00:04:22.181
In the church was like, "it must be a set up
00:04:22.248 --> 00:04:23.283
"it must be a set up 'cause he can't --
00:04:23.349 --> 00:04:24.083
'cause he can't -- it can't be solomon."
00:04:24.150 --> 00:04:24.917
It can't be solomon." god -- there's --
00:04:24.984 --> 00:04:26.653
God -- there's -- 'cause there's no way, right?
00:04:26.719 --> 00:04:27.487
'cause there's no way, right? who said it?
00:04:27.553 --> 00:04:28.454
Who said it? who said it out loud?
00:04:28.521 --> 00:04:29.055
Who said it out loud? how -- how could it be solomon?
00:04:29.122 --> 00:04:31.457
How -- how could it be solomon? he's inexperienced.
00:04:31.524 --> 00:04:33.860
He's inexperienced. he was the product of a
00:04:33.926 --> 00:04:36.062
He was the product of a bad decision that david made.
00:04:36.129 --> 00:04:38.298
Bad decision that david made. how could god use the weak thing
00:04:38.364 --> 00:04:43.303
How could god use the weak thing to build the glorious thing?
00:04:43.369 --> 00:04:46.039
To build the glorious thing? and you might be wondering
00:04:46.105 --> 00:04:46.773
And you might be wondering that about your life today.
00:04:46.839 --> 00:04:49.008
That about your life today. and maybe that's why god
00:04:49.075 --> 00:04:50.176
And maybe that's why god gave me this word for you,
00:04:50.243 --> 00:04:52.945
Gave me this word for you, so you could know that people
00:04:53.012 --> 00:04:55.581
So you could know that people build on your successes.
00:04:55.648 --> 00:04:59.218
Build on your successes. people choose according
00:04:59.285 --> 00:05:00.219
People choose according to your wisdom.
00:05:00.286 --> 00:05:04.057
To your wisdom. but with god,
00:05:04.123 --> 00:05:05.658
But with god, it works in reverse.
00:05:05.725 --> 00:05:09.862
It works in reverse. i want you to get that in your
00:05:09.929 --> 00:05:10.930
I want you to get that in your spirit that it works in reverse,
00:05:10.997 --> 00:05:13.733
Spirit that it works in reverse, that god does not choose
00:05:13.800 --> 00:05:15.268
That god does not choose the moments when you feel
00:05:15.335 --> 00:05:16.402
The moments when you feel the strongest to show up
00:05:16.469 --> 00:05:17.537
The strongest to show up the most in your life.
00:05:17.603 --> 00:05:20.206
The most in your life. i'm a living witness.
00:05:20.273 --> 00:05:22.875
I'm a living witness. it is the moments when
00:05:22.942 --> 00:05:25.278
It is the moments when you are working
00:05:25.345 --> 00:05:25.912
You are working through the weakness,
00:05:25.978 --> 00:05:26.746
Through the weakness, whatever it may be.
00:05:26.813 --> 00:05:27.680
Whatever it may be. some of you got a temper,
00:05:27.747 --> 00:05:28.648
Some of you got a temper, some of you got an addition
00:05:28.715 --> 00:05:29.816
Some of you got an addition to something that is
00:05:29.882 --> 00:05:31.017
To something that is chemical in nature,
00:05:31.084 --> 00:05:32.018
Chemical in nature, it could even just be food,
00:05:32.085 --> 00:05:33.419
It could even just be food, it could be an addiction
00:05:33.486 --> 00:05:34.487
It could be an addiction to bitterness.
00:05:34.554 --> 00:05:35.021
To bitterness. i mean, there's all
00:05:35.088 --> 00:05:35.588
I mean, there's all kinds of additions.
00:05:35.655 --> 00:05:36.289
Kinds of additions. do i really need to list
00:05:36.356 --> 00:05:37.156
Do i really need to list every single one of them?
00:05:37.223 --> 00:05:37.990
Every single one of them? because i promise i will.
00:05:38.057 --> 00:05:39.726
Because i promise i will. i will go in alphabetical
00:05:39.792 --> 00:05:40.727
I will go in alphabetical order 'til i hit
00:05:40.793 --> 00:05:41.260
Order 'til i hit everybody on every row.
00:05:41.327 --> 00:05:42.295
Everybody on every row. "oh no, i'm not
00:05:42.362 --> 00:05:42.795
"oh no, i'm not addicted to anything."
00:05:42.862 --> 00:05:43.763
Addicted to anything." just let me get to c,
00:05:43.830 --> 00:05:44.664
Just let me get to c, you control freak.
00:05:44.731 --> 00:05:45.665
You control freak. [laughter]
00:05:45.732 --> 00:05:49.769
[laughter] and if i get to the ps,
00:05:49.836 --> 00:05:50.770
And if i get to the ps, i'll talk about your pride
00:05:50.837 --> 00:05:51.771
I'll talk about your pride for saying you don't
00:05:51.838 --> 00:05:52.472
For saying you don't have any additions.
00:05:52.538 --> 00:05:53.339
Have any additions. we will rattle them off.
00:05:53.406 --> 00:05:56.576
We will rattle them off. [laughter]
00:05:56.642 --> 00:05:59.879
[laughter] and the good news of
00:05:59.946 --> 00:06:00.747
And the good news of the gospel to me is that
00:06:00.813 --> 00:06:03.349
The gospel to me is that god chose the weak things.
00:06:03.416 --> 00:06:06.986
When you put it on
00:06:10.790 --> 00:06:11.324
When you put it on the coffee mug, holly,
00:06:11.391 --> 00:06:13.726
The coffee mug, holly, put it where it can go both
00:06:13.793 --> 00:06:15.528
Put it where it can go both ways when you turn it around.
00:06:15.595 --> 00:06:18.297
Ways when you turn it around. so, when i'm drinking
00:06:18.364 --> 00:06:19.065
So, when i'm drinking my coffee in the morning,
00:06:19.132 --> 00:06:20.967
My coffee in the morning, after next mother's day.
00:06:21.033 --> 00:06:22.468
After next mother's day. i could picture it right now.
00:06:22.535 --> 00:06:23.603
I could picture it right now. [laughter]
00:06:23.669 --> 00:06:24.370
[laughter] because i promise you
00:06:24.437 --> 00:06:25.204
Because i promise you one thing, i am not
00:06:25.271 --> 00:06:25.972
One thing, i am not strong without coffee.
00:06:26.038 --> 00:06:28.141
Strong without coffee. so, i know i need caffeine.
00:06:28.207 --> 00:06:29.509
So, i know i need caffeine. i need christ.
00:06:29.575 --> 00:06:30.209
I need christ. i need caffeine.
00:06:30.276 --> 00:06:30.943
I need caffeine. but i usually need them
00:06:31.010 --> 00:06:31.644
But i usually need them in the opposite order.
00:06:31.711 --> 00:06:33.446
In the opposite order. it's usually the caffeine
00:06:33.513 --> 00:06:34.414
It's usually the caffeine then the christ because
00:06:34.480 --> 00:06:35.314
Then the christ because i can't find christ
00:06:35.381 --> 00:06:36.149
I can't find christ without the caffeine.
00:06:36.215 --> 00:06:37.116
Without the caffeine. i am confessing
00:06:37.183 --> 00:06:38.151
I am confessing in front of thousands.
00:06:38.217 --> 00:06:39.085
In front of thousands. [laughter]
00:06:39.152 --> 00:06:41.087
[laughter] make sure when you turn
00:06:41.154 --> 00:06:41.888
Make sure when you turn the mug around it says,
00:06:41.954 --> 00:06:43.423
The mug around it says, "be strong, do the work."
00:06:43.489 --> 00:06:44.357
"be strong, do the work." but make sure it's on two sides
00:06:44.424 --> 00:06:46.426
But make sure it's on two sides so we can remember this message.
00:06:46.492 --> 00:06:48.928
So we can remember this message. where we can say, "oh, i don't
00:06:48.995 --> 00:06:50.463
Where we can say, "oh, i don't feel strong.
00:06:50.530 --> 00:06:51.230
Feel strong. how am i going to be strong?"
00:06:51.297 --> 00:06:56.002
How am i going to be strong?" [applause]
00:06:56.068 --> 00:06:59.172
[applause] is this too simple?
00:06:59.238 --> 00:07:01.407
Is this too simple? do y'all want me to give you
00:07:01.474 --> 00:07:02.508
Do y'all want me to give you a detailed explanation
00:07:02.575 --> 00:07:04.510
A detailed explanation of the dimensions of
00:07:04.577 --> 00:07:05.211
Of the dimensions of the temple that solomon built,
00:07:05.278 --> 00:07:06.879
The temple that solomon built, and the type of bronze that
00:07:06.946 --> 00:07:08.147
And the type of bronze that was imported for him to do it
00:07:08.214 --> 00:07:09.882
Was imported for him to do it from the king of harem
00:07:09.949 --> 00:07:10.650
From the king of harem and the dimensions of
00:07:10.716 --> 00:07:11.651
And the dimensions of the inner courtyard,
00:07:11.717 --> 00:07:12.385
The inner courtyard, and the outer courtyard,
00:07:12.452 --> 00:07:13.152
And the outer courtyard, and the lamp stands,
00:07:13.219 --> 00:07:13.920
And the lamp stands, and the incense?
00:07:13.986 --> 00:07:15.087
And the incense? is that what you want?
00:07:15.154 --> 00:07:15.721
Is that what you want? i think the deepest thing
00:07:15.788 --> 00:07:19.091
I think the deepest thing we can do with the word
00:07:19.158 --> 00:07:21.360
We can do with the word from god is to do it.
00:07:21.427 --> 00:07:26.098
From god is to do it. [applause]
00:07:26.165 --> 00:07:28.568
[applause] i'm -- i'm preaching
00:07:28.634 --> 00:07:29.168
I'm -- i'm preaching a lot from the old testament
00:07:29.235 --> 00:07:30.236
A lot from the old testament this year because i'm having
00:07:30.303 --> 00:07:31.804
This year because i'm having a very special time with
00:07:31.871 --> 00:07:33.005
A very special time with my own family reading through
00:07:33.072 --> 00:07:35.241
My own family reading through the old testament
00:07:35.308 --> 00:07:35.875
The old testament chapter by chapter with
00:07:35.942 --> 00:07:37.009
Chapter by chapter with elijah, my oldest son.
00:07:37.076 --> 00:07:38.644
Elijah, my oldest son. he was going through the bible,
00:07:38.711 --> 00:07:40.213
He was going through the bible, and i told you this,
00:07:40.279 --> 00:07:41.314
And i told you this, but i wanna tell you again
00:07:41.380 --> 00:07:42.048
But i wanna tell you again 'cause the holy spirit
00:07:42.114 --> 00:07:42.915
'cause the holy spirit brought it to my attention
00:07:42.982 --> 00:07:44.984
Brought it to my attention where he -- he had
00:07:45.051 --> 00:07:47.119
Where he -- he had the great idea to go
00:07:47.186 --> 00:07:47.820
The great idea to go through the bible slow.
00:07:47.887 --> 00:07:50.223
Through the bible slow. and he's like, "i don't wanna
00:07:50.289 --> 00:07:51.023
And he's like, "i don't wanna just rush through it,
00:07:51.090 --> 00:07:52.024
Just rush through it, i wanna go slow."
00:07:52.091 --> 00:07:52.792
I wanna go slow." so, him and kelsey were
00:07:52.859 --> 00:07:54.126
So, him and kelsey were reading and then i jumped in
00:07:54.193 --> 00:07:55.294
Reading and then i jumped in and kinda like invited myself
00:07:55.361 --> 00:07:56.762
And kinda like invited myself to the group and started giving
00:07:56.829 --> 00:07:59.398
To the group and started giving 'em a key verse every day.
00:07:59.465 --> 00:08:01.934
'em a key verse every day. now the reason i choose
00:08:02.001 --> 00:08:02.668
Now the reason i choose the key verse principle
00:08:02.735 --> 00:08:03.936
The key verse principle is because sometimes
00:08:04.003 --> 00:08:05.505
Is because sometimes you can just read a
00:08:05.571 --> 00:08:06.339
You can just read a scripture or hear a sermon
00:08:06.405 --> 00:08:09.509
Scripture or hear a sermon and go, "oh, that's good."
00:08:09.575 --> 00:08:13.346
And go, "oh, that's good." it's like that --
00:08:13.412 --> 00:08:13.980
It's like that -- that youtube short.
00:08:14.046 --> 00:08:15.348
That youtube short. "the only bible verse
00:08:15.414 --> 00:08:16.282
"the only bible verse you ever need to have
00:08:16.349 --> 00:08:17.884
You ever need to have big shoulders for the lord."
00:08:17.950 --> 00:08:19.752
Big shoulders for the lord." [laughter]
00:08:19.819 --> 00:08:20.653
[laughter] "to have a strong spirit,
00:08:20.720 --> 00:08:22.188
"to have a strong spirit, to be worry free
00:08:22.255 --> 00:08:22.788
To be worry free and anxiety free."
00:08:22.855 --> 00:08:23.756
And anxiety free." and i -- i love all these
00:08:23.823 --> 00:08:24.824
And i -- i love all these youtube shorts i, of course,
00:08:24.891 --> 00:08:26.025
Youtube shorts i, of course, put content on 'em.
00:08:26.092 --> 00:08:27.360
Put content on 'em. that's not my point.
00:08:27.426 --> 00:08:28.160
That's not my point. my point is i never
00:08:28.227 --> 00:08:29.962
My point is i never got stronger 'cause
00:08:30.029 --> 00:08:31.063
Got stronger 'cause of something i clicked on.
00:08:31.130 --> 00:08:35.968
Of something i clicked on. i've gotten a lot stronger
00:08:36.035 --> 00:08:37.703
I've gotten a lot stronger in my adult life
00:08:37.770 --> 00:08:38.905
In my adult life because i worked hard
00:08:38.971 --> 00:08:39.572
Because i worked hard at that physically,
00:08:39.639 --> 00:08:41.073
At that physically, but never because
00:08:41.140 --> 00:08:41.841
But never because i clicked on something.
00:08:41.908 --> 00:08:44.277
I clicked on something. it was always
00:08:44.343 --> 00:08:45.144
It was always something that i did.
00:08:45.211 --> 00:08:48.281
Something that i did. i might click on it
00:08:48.347 --> 00:08:49.415
I might click on it to learn something,
00:08:49.482 --> 00:08:51.784
To learn something, but until i did it.
00:08:51.851 --> 00:08:54.253
But until i did it. [applause]
00:08:54.320 --> 00:08:58.124
[applause] now, this sermon
00:08:58.190 --> 00:09:00.059
Now, this sermon could be something
00:09:00.126 --> 00:09:01.093
Could be something that you click on today,
00:09:01.160 --> 00:09:03.296
That you click on today, it could be something
00:09:03.362 --> 00:09:04.130
It could be something that you click on and go,
00:09:04.196 --> 00:09:05.131
That you click on and go, "oh, that's -- that's really
00:09:05.197 --> 00:09:06.966
"oh, that's -- that's really good and true and be strong
00:09:07.033 --> 00:09:09.235
Good and true and be strong and do the work.
00:09:09.302 --> 00:09:10.436
And do the work. yeah.
00:09:10.503 --> 00:09:13.039
Yeah. yes."
00:09:13.105 --> 00:09:15.908
Yes." that's awesome.
00:09:15.975 --> 00:09:17.710
That's awesome. but go over to james 1,
00:09:17.777 --> 00:09:19.812
But go over to james 1, because this is why i do
00:09:19.879 --> 00:09:20.546
Because this is why i do the key verse principle
00:09:20.613 --> 00:09:21.747
With my family,
00:09:21.847 --> 00:09:22.648
With my family, and i think it would
00:09:22.715 --> 00:09:23.616
And i think it would be a wonderful thing
00:09:23.683 --> 00:09:25.051
Be a wonderful thing for us to go over
00:09:25.117 --> 00:09:25.851
For us to go over as a church together.
00:09:25.918 --> 00:09:27.887
As a church together. in the book of james,
00:09:27.954 --> 00:09:29.622
In the book of james, he's making the case that,
00:09:29.689 --> 00:09:30.856
He's making the case that, "faith without works is dead."
00:09:30.923 --> 00:09:35.728
He is not saying that
00:09:35.828 --> 00:09:37.830
He is not saying that the grace of god and the blood
00:09:37.897 --> 00:09:38.998
The grace of god and the blood of jesus is not enough
00:09:39.065 --> 00:09:40.132
Of jesus is not enough to cover your sin,
00:09:40.199 --> 00:09:42.568
To cover your sin, but he's saying if you
00:09:42.635 --> 00:09:43.536
But he's saying if you come to the place
00:09:43.603 --> 00:09:45.638
Come to the place where you hear the word --
00:09:45.705 --> 00:09:46.439
Where you hear the word -- in fact, he gives an analogy.
00:09:46.505 --> 00:09:48.874
In fact, he gives an analogy. he says -- what verse
00:09:48.941 --> 00:09:50.009
He says -- what verse did i start y'all on 21?
00:09:50.076 --> 00:09:51.577
Did i start y'all on 21? give me that, james 1:21.
00:09:51.644 --> 00:09:53.746
Give me that, james 1:21. yeah.
00:09:53.813 --> 00:09:54.013
Yeah. he says, "therefore,
00:09:54.080 --> 00:09:55.581
He says, "therefore, get rid of all moral filth
00:09:55.648 --> 00:10:00.620
Get rid of all moral filth and the evil that is
00:10:00.686 --> 00:10:02.321
And the evil that is so prevalent."
00:10:02.388 --> 00:10:04.624
So prevalent." i love that phrase.
00:10:04.690 --> 00:10:05.658
I love that phrase. in the king james,
00:10:05.725 --> 00:10:06.826
In the king james, it talks about
00:10:06.892 --> 00:10:07.760
It talks about superfluous naughtiness.
00:10:07.827 --> 00:10:10.129
Superfluous naughtiness. [laughter]
00:10:10.196 --> 00:10:12.398
[laughter] look it up sometime.
00:10:12.465 --> 00:10:13.366
Look it up sometime. the bible is awesome.
00:10:13.432 --> 00:10:14.233
The bible is awesome. you can click around
00:10:14.300 --> 00:10:14.934
You can click around all the translations.
00:10:15.001 --> 00:10:17.069
All the translations. but clicking to
00:10:17.136 --> 00:10:17.937
But clicking to a different translation
00:10:18.004 --> 00:10:18.971
A different translation won't save you, will it?
00:10:19.038 --> 00:10:22.074
Won't save you, will it? clicking around
00:10:22.141 --> 00:10:23.142
Clicking around or highlighting stuff,
00:10:23.209 --> 00:10:24.076
Or highlighting stuff, like, that is wonderful.
00:10:24.143 --> 00:10:26.679
Like, that is wonderful. it is wonderful that
00:10:26.746 --> 00:10:28.147
It is wonderful that you are hearing this word.
00:10:28.214 --> 00:10:29.382
You are hearing this word. the word of god is wonderful.
00:10:29.448 --> 00:10:32.418
The word of god is wonderful. but this is a process that
00:10:32.485 --> 00:10:33.786
But this is a process that james says, he says, "there is
00:10:33.853 --> 00:10:35.821
James says, he says, "there is a getting rid of moral filth."
00:10:35.888 --> 00:10:40.226
A getting rid of moral filth." there's a very specific thing
00:10:40.292 --> 00:10:41.794
There's a very specific thing he's talking about here.
00:10:41.861 --> 00:10:43.295
He's talking about here. he's talking about everything
00:10:43.362 --> 00:10:44.597
He's talking about everything that surrounds you.
00:10:44.664 --> 00:10:46.999
That surrounds you. everything that is -- that is
00:10:47.066 --> 00:10:48.701
Everything that is -- that is covering the true potential
00:10:48.768 --> 00:10:51.270
Covering the true potential of the christ in you.
00:10:51.337 --> 00:10:53.639
Of the christ in you. all of that has to go.
00:10:53.706 --> 00:10:57.843
All of that has to go. put it back up.
00:10:57.910 --> 00:11:00.279
Put it back up. "and humbly accept
00:11:00.346 --> 00:11:03.783
"and humbly accept the word planted in you,
00:11:03.849 --> 00:11:07.887
The word planted in you, which can save you."
00:11:07.953 --> 00:11:09.622
Which can save you." now, that's interesting
00:11:09.689 --> 00:11:10.389
Now, that's interesting 'cause it don't say it
00:11:10.456 --> 00:11:11.023
'cause it don't say it will save you.
00:11:11.090 --> 00:11:14.160
Will save you. it says it can.
00:11:14.226 --> 00:11:16.529
It says it can. this word can help you today.
00:11:16.595 --> 00:11:18.364
This word can help you today. this word can
00:11:18.431 --> 00:11:18.964
This word can set you free today.
00:11:19.031 --> 00:11:20.499
Set you free today. god's presence
00:11:20.566 --> 00:11:21.367
God's presence can touch you today.
00:11:21.434 --> 00:11:23.302
Can touch you today. god can get into your
00:11:23.369 --> 00:11:24.236
God can get into your situation and show you
00:11:24.303 --> 00:11:25.671
Situation and show you stuff that you don't know.
00:11:25.738 --> 00:11:26.639
Stuff that you don't know. he can put in your mind what
00:11:26.706 --> 00:11:28.507
He can put in your mind what only his sprit knows, he can.
00:11:28.574 --> 00:11:32.445
Only his sprit knows, he can. but this is not in the category
00:11:32.511 --> 00:11:34.914
But this is not in the category of the salvation that you get
00:11:34.980 --> 00:11:36.849
Of the salvation that you get when you come to christ,
00:11:36.916 --> 00:11:38.350
When you come to christ, this is salvation from yourself.
00:11:38.417 --> 00:11:42.254
This is salvation from yourself. so, he says, "the only way
00:11:42.321 --> 00:11:43.856
So, he says, "the only way to be saved from your
00:11:43.923 --> 00:11:44.790
To be saved from your self-deception is to humbly
00:11:44.857 --> 00:11:48.360
Self-deception is to humbly accept the word that
00:11:48.427 --> 00:11:50.763
Accept the word that is planted," where?
00:11:50.830 --> 00:11:52.231
Is planted," where? >> congregation: in you.

Moral filth, where? around you.
00:11:57.837 --> 00:11:59.405
Around you. and you've got this word
00:11:59.472 --> 00:12:00.539
And you've got this word from god planted...

Somebody help me. i need three pentecostals,
00:12:05.111 --> 00:12:06.045
I need three pentecostals, just three, just three.
00:12:06.112 --> 00:12:07.146
Just three, just three. i don't need a lot.
00:12:07.213 --> 00:12:07.780
I don't need a lot. i need three.
00:12:07.847 --> 00:12:08.347
I need three. [cheering]
00:12:08.414 --> 00:12:09.448
[cheering] so, now i understand
00:12:09.515 --> 00:12:10.850
So, now i understand that i've had it backwards.
00:12:10.916 --> 00:12:12.918
That i've had it backwards. because i've been too
00:12:12.985 --> 00:12:14.019
Because i've been too controlled by my environment.
00:12:14.086 --> 00:12:16.489
Controlled by my environment. because i've been too
00:12:16.555 --> 00:12:17.089
Because i've been too controlled by my surroundings.
00:12:17.156 --> 00:12:19.592
Controlled by my surroundings. because i've been too controlled
00:12:19.658 --> 00:12:20.760
Because i've been too controlled by cultural programming.
00:12:20.826 --> 00:12:22.428
By cultural programming. because i've been thro -- too
00:12:22.495 --> 00:12:23.629
Because i've been thro -- too controlled by thoughts that
00:12:23.696 --> 00:12:24.964
Controlled by thoughts that didn't even come from god.
00:12:25.030 --> 00:12:26.465
Didn't even come from god. because i've been too controlled
00:12:26.532 --> 00:12:27.733
Because i've been too controlled by what i see, what i feel,
00:12:27.800 --> 00:12:29.101
By what i see, what i feel, what i think,
00:12:29.168 --> 00:12:29.835
What i think, what i knew up to this point,
00:12:29.902 --> 00:12:31.437
What i knew up to this point, that's what's around me.
00:12:31.504 --> 00:12:33.739
That's what's around me. but when what is around me
00:12:33.806 --> 00:12:35.841
But when what is around me contradicts the word
00:12:35.908 --> 00:12:37.376
Contradicts the word that is planted in me,
00:12:37.443 --> 00:12:39.845
That is planted in me, god says, "we've gotta get
00:12:39.912 --> 00:12:41.180
God says, "we've gotta get this thing switched up."
00:12:41.247 --> 00:12:42.615
This thing switched up." [applause]
00:12:42.681 --> 00:12:44.784
[applause] "because the word
00:12:44.850 --> 00:12:45.518
"because the word that is in you has
00:12:45.584 --> 00:12:46.352
That is in you has potential to save you."
00:12:46.418 --> 00:12:51.157
Potential to save you." but with god,
00:12:51.223 --> 00:12:51.590
But with god, it works in reverse.
00:12:51.657 --> 00:12:52.691
It works in reverse. see, most people live this way,
00:12:52.758 --> 00:12:53.993
See, most people live this way, whatever happens on the outside
00:12:54.059 --> 00:12:56.295
Whatever happens on the outside they react to it.
00:12:56.362 --> 00:12:57.229
They react to it. whatever happens on
00:12:57.296 --> 00:12:58.097
Whatever happens on the outside they move to it.
00:12:58.164 --> 00:13:00.332
The outside they move to it. whatever happens on
00:13:00.399 --> 00:13:01.200
Whatever happens on the outside they dance with it.
00:13:01.267 --> 00:13:03.202
The outside they dance with it. whatever happens on the outside
00:13:03.269 --> 00:13:05.004
Whatever happens on the outside they surrender to it.
00:13:05.070 --> 00:13:06.338
They surrender to it. whatever happens on the outside
00:13:06.405 --> 00:13:08.007
Whatever happens on the outside that's what they consult
00:13:08.073 --> 00:13:09.475
That's what they consult for their next step in life.
00:13:09.542 --> 00:13:11.277
For their next step in life. not you, you're chosen so you
00:13:11.343 --> 00:13:13.879
Not you, you're chosen so you do it different because
00:13:13.946 --> 00:13:15.214
Do it different because in the kingdom of god,
00:13:15.281 --> 00:13:16.849
In the kingdom of god, it works in reverse.
00:13:16.916 --> 00:13:20.019
It works in reverse. say it, "it works in reverse."
00:13:20.085 --> 00:13:23.889
Say it, "it works in reverse." so, i don't start with
00:13:23.956 --> 00:13:25.090
So, i don't start with my situation to see how
00:13:25.157 --> 00:13:26.826
My situation to see how it's going to turn out,
00:13:26.892 --> 00:13:28.561
It's going to turn out, because it works in reverse.
00:13:28.627 --> 00:13:32.565
Because it works in reverse. i can be in a filthy situation,
00:13:32.631 --> 00:13:35.568
I can be in a filthy situation, a naughty situation,
00:13:35.634 --> 00:13:37.636
A naughty situation, a nasty situation,

According to the world, i'd be down about it,
00:13:48.414 --> 00:13:49.281
And i'd be weak about it,
00:13:49.381 --> 00:13:50.816
And i'd be weak about it, and i'd think there was
00:13:50.883 --> 00:13:51.617

No hope in going forward and no cost to continue in it.
00:13:53.052 --> 00:13:54.987
And no cost to continue in it. but i don't walk according

00:16:15.995 --> 00:16:16.862
And i told him that to his face and he received it.
00:16:16.929 --> 00:16:21.600
Face and he received it. he said, "you're right.
00:16:21.667 --> 00:16:22.167
He said, "you're right. you're right.
00:16:22.234 --> 00:16:22.534
You're right. you're right.
00:16:22.601 --> 00:16:22.935
You're right. you're right."
00:16:23.002 --> 00:16:23.869
You're right." i said, "i mean
00:16:23.936 --> 00:16:24.436
I said, "i mean to preach to you."
00:16:24.503 --> 00:16:24.937
To preach to you." he said, "no,
00:16:25.004 --> 00:16:25.371
He said, "no, preach to me, man.
00:16:25.437 --> 00:16:25.871
Preach to me, man. i need it.
00:16:25.938 --> 00:16:26.271
I need it. i need it.
00:16:26.338 --> 00:16:26.638
I need it. i need it."
00:16:26.705 --> 00:16:27.639
I need it." that's what he said,
00:16:27.706 --> 00:16:28.173
That's what he said, he said, "i need it.
00:16:28.240 --> 00:16:28.807
He said, "i need it. i need it.
00:16:28.874 --> 00:16:29.708
I need it. i'm sick of being stuck.
00:16:29.775 --> 00:16:33.979
I'm sick of being stuck. i'm sick of needing to feel
00:16:34.046 --> 00:16:34.847
I'm sick of needing to feel a certain way to do
00:16:34.913 --> 00:16:35.781
A certain way to do a certain thing.
00:16:35.848 --> 00:16:38.017
A certain thing. i'm sick of coming
00:16:38.083 --> 00:16:38.884
I'm sick of coming to church and going like,
00:16:38.951 --> 00:16:39.585
To church and going like, 'oh, yeah.
00:16:39.651 --> 00:16:41.320
'oh, yeah. i wanna live like that.'
00:16:41.387 --> 00:16:45.090
I wanna live like that.' i'm sick of clicking around
00:16:45.157 --> 00:16:45.924
I'm sick of clicking around youtube videos and going,
00:16:45.991 --> 00:16:46.892
Youtube videos and going, 'oh, yeah.
00:16:46.959 --> 00:16:47.559
'oh, yeah. i wanna - i wanna live
00:16:47.626 --> 00:16:50.629
I wanna - i wanna live like that.'"
00:16:50.696 --> 00:16:52.998
Like that.'" so, when james comes along,
00:16:53.065 --> 00:16:54.366
So, when james comes along, he says something very
00:16:54.433 --> 00:16:55.267
He says something very simple in james 1:22,
00:16:55.334 --> 00:16:59.605
Simple in james 1:22, "do not merely
00:16:59.671 --> 00:17:03.575
"do not merely listen to the word."
00:17:03.642 --> 00:17:07.913
Listen to the word." so, i stopped there when
00:17:07.980 --> 00:17:08.814
So, i stopped there when i was studying this week.
00:17:08.881 --> 00:17:09.815
I was studying this week. i'm like, "lord, that would
00:17:09.882 --> 00:17:10.783
I'm like, "lord, that would be good if people would
00:17:10.849 --> 00:17:11.717
Be good if people would even just listen to it.
00:17:11.784 --> 00:17:13.752
Even just listen to it. i mean, they're doing
00:17:13.819 --> 00:17:14.386
I mean, they're doing pretty good just to listen
00:17:14.453 --> 00:17:15.721
Pretty good just to listen to a sermon when there are
00:17:15.788 --> 00:17:16.655
To a sermon when there are so much other options.
00:17:16.722 --> 00:17:18.557
So much other options. why you being so hard on them?
00:17:18.624 --> 00:17:21.360
Why you being so hard on them? they're listening to the word."
00:17:21.427 --> 00:17:23.962
They're listening to the word." but he showed me that when you
00:17:24.029 --> 00:17:26.765
But he showed me that when you listen and don't implement,
00:17:26.832 --> 00:17:30.769
Listen and don't implement, it limits you that much more
00:17:30.836 --> 00:17:32.304
It limits you that much more the next time you hear it,
00:17:32.371 --> 00:17:35.874
The next time you hear it, and it puts a lid on
00:17:35.941 --> 00:17:37.009
And it puts a lid on the potential that
00:17:37.076 --> 00:17:37.676
The potential that he's put inside of you.
00:17:37.743 --> 00:17:40.546
He's put inside of you. so, the next thing becomes
00:17:40.612 --> 00:17:41.613
So, the next thing becomes very, very integral to your
00:17:41.680 --> 00:17:45.584
Very, very integral to your spiritual development.
00:17:45.651 --> 00:17:49.421
Spiritual development. "do not merely listen
00:17:49.488 --> 00:17:50.589
"do not merely listen to the word and so
00:17:50.656 --> 00:17:51.290
To the word and so deceive yourself.
00:17:51.356 --> 00:17:54.093
Deceive yourself. do what it says."
00:17:54.159 --> 00:18:01.233
Do what it says." elijah, where you at, son?
00:18:01.300 --> 00:18:04.103
Elijah, where you at, son? yeah.
00:18:04.169 --> 00:18:04.603
Yeah. thank you for that bible club
00:18:04.670 --> 00:18:05.504
Thank you for that bible club and thank you for this.

And thank you for this. every time he sends his
00:18:07.372 --> 00:18:08.740
Every time he sends his key verse -- 'cause we pick
00:18:08.807 --> 00:18:09.741
Key verse -- 'cause we pick a verse and we say,
00:18:09.808 --> 00:18:10.409
A verse and we say, "this is how i'mma try
00:18:10.476 --> 00:18:11.076
"this is how i'mma try to do this today, right?"
00:18:11.143 --> 00:18:12.911
To do this today, right?" every time he sends his
00:18:12.978 --> 00:18:13.912
Every time he sends his key verse, it's so practical,
00:18:13.979 --> 00:18:17.182
Key verse, it's so practical, and he's so smart.
00:18:17.249 --> 00:18:18.650
And he's so smart. he's so analytical,
00:18:18.717 --> 00:18:20.319
He's so analytical, always has been.
00:18:20.385 --> 00:18:20.986
Always has been. he's -- when he was like
00:18:21.053 --> 00:18:23.055
He's -- when he was like four years old,
00:18:23.122 --> 00:18:25.190
Four years old, he was asking me questions
00:18:25.257 --> 00:18:27.960
He was asking me questions that made me feel i needed to
00:18:28.026 --> 00:18:29.228
That made me feel i needed to go back to bible college again.
00:18:29.294 --> 00:18:33.765
Go back to bible college again. he's asking me stuff about
00:18:33.832 --> 00:18:34.433
He's asking me stuff about god that god hasn't even
00:18:34.500 --> 00:18:35.200
God that god hasn't even asked about god.
00:18:35.267 --> 00:18:37.369
Asked about god. [laughter]
00:18:37.436 --> 00:18:40.806
[laughter] and yet, every time he does it,
00:18:40.873 --> 00:18:41.673
And yet, every time he does it, he puts it so simple,
00:18:41.740 --> 00:18:42.774
He puts it so simple, but at the end of his
00:18:42.841 --> 00:18:43.876
But at the end of his key verses he'll always say,
00:18:43.942 --> 00:18:47.379
Key verses he'll always say, "i hope this isn't too simple."
00:18:47.446 --> 00:18:50.182
"i hope this isn't too simple." don't ever say, "sorry,"
00:18:50.249 --> 00:18:51.683
Don't ever say, "sorry," for keeping it simple.
00:18:51.750 --> 00:18:52.885
For keeping it simple. [applause]
00:18:52.951 --> 00:18:55.921
[applause] because like what you put
00:18:55.988 --> 00:18:57.556
Because like what you put the other day about david
00:18:57.623 --> 00:18:59.258
The other day about david where you said,
00:18:59.324 --> 00:18:59.858
Where you said, "okay, i know this isn't
00:18:59.925 --> 00:19:00.859
"okay, i know this isn't probably the deepest
00:19:00.926 --> 00:19:01.527
Probably the deepest application of the text."
00:19:01.593 --> 00:19:02.594
Application of the text." no, the deepest thing
00:19:02.661 --> 00:19:03.428
No, the deepest thing you could have found
00:19:03.495 --> 00:19:04.029
You could have found is what you found,
00:19:04.096 --> 00:19:04.530
Is what you found, 'cause you found the thing
00:19:04.596 --> 00:19:05.430
'cause you found the thing that god was actually
00:19:05.497 --> 00:19:06.031
That god was actually calling you to do.
00:19:06.098 --> 00:19:08.500
Calling you to do. and i thought that was
00:19:08.567 --> 00:19:09.334
And i thought that was so powerful, 'cause i'm like,
00:19:09.401 --> 00:19:12.404
So powerful, 'cause i'm like, "that is what a disciple --
00:19:12.471 --> 00:19:14.239
"that is what a disciple -- and not that you're --
00:19:14.306 --> 00:19:14.873
And not that you're -- not that you're perfect,
00:19:14.940 --> 00:19:15.841
Not that you're perfect, or i'm perfect,
00:19:15.908 --> 00:19:16.542
Or i'm perfect, or not that, "oh,
00:19:16.608 --> 00:19:17.142
Or not that, "oh, we're reading our bible
00:19:17.209 --> 00:19:18.010
We're reading our bible everyday so we're so great."
00:19:18.076 --> 00:19:19.611
Everyday so we're so great." but i love how i see you
00:19:19.678 --> 00:19:22.381
But i love how i see you working the word.
00:19:22.447 --> 00:19:24.816
Working the word. [applause]
00:19:24.883 --> 00:19:26.752
[applause] because here's what
00:19:26.818 --> 00:19:29.988
Because here's what i know about god's word,
00:19:30.055 --> 00:19:32.157
I know about god's word, it works in reverse.
00:19:32.224 --> 00:19:35.894
It works in reverse. god is giving him wisdom today
00:19:35.961 --> 00:19:38.730
God is giving him wisdom today for experiences he doesn't even
00:19:38.797 --> 00:19:40.599
For experiences he doesn't even know he's going to have yet.
00:19:40.666 --> 00:19:42.201
Know he's going to have yet. [applause]
00:19:42.267 --> 00:19:45.604
[applause] he's digging a well today,
00:19:45.671 --> 00:19:47.739
He's digging a well today, every time he goes to the word
00:19:47.806 --> 00:19:49.041
Every time he goes to the word and puts it into practice.
00:19:49.107 --> 00:19:51.343
Everybody say, "practice."
00:19:51.443 --> 00:19:52.811
Everybody say, "practice." >> congregation: practice.
00:19:52.878 --> 00:19:54.012
>> congregation: practice. >> principles without
00:19:54.079 --> 00:19:54.947
>> principles without practice are powerless.
00:19:55.013 --> 00:20:00.686
Practice are powerless. and every time he puts it
00:20:00.752 --> 00:20:01.553
And every time he puts it into practice let me
00:20:01.620 --> 00:20:02.988
Into practice let me show you what he is defying.
00:20:03.055 --> 00:20:05.958
Show you what he is defying. i close with this image.
00:20:06.024 --> 00:20:08.093

And don't play the piano, lj. i'm closing,

"do not merely listen

To the word and so deceive yourselves.

And listen -- listen to this picture.

Listen to this picture. remember when it
00:20:25.644 --> 00:20:27.246
Remember when it comes to god's word,
00:20:27.312 --> 00:20:30.015
Comes to god's word, he gives us a picture of who
00:20:30.082 --> 00:20:32.217
He gives us a picture of who he is and we can't see it fully,
00:20:32.284 --> 00:20:34.820
He is and we can't see it fully, but we see in part.
00:20:34.886 --> 00:20:36.788
But we see in part. and he gives us a picture
00:20:36.855 --> 00:20:38.690
And he gives us a picture of who we can be in him.
00:20:38.757 --> 00:20:42.194
Of who we can be in him. and he shows us the strength
00:20:42.261 --> 00:20:43.262
And he shows us the strength that we can have in him
00:20:43.328 --> 00:20:44.363
That we can have in him and the future that
00:20:44.429 --> 00:20:45.330
And the future that we can have in him.
00:20:45.397 --> 00:20:46.331
We can have in him. and the way of life
00:20:46.398 --> 00:20:47.099
And the way of life that we can know in him,

And the joy that we can have. he gives us a picture.
00:20:50.836 --> 00:20:51.570
He gives us a picture. but watch what james says
00:20:51.637 --> 00:20:52.804
But watch what james says as a warning.
00:20:52.871 --> 00:20:53.639
As a warning. he says, verse 23,
00:20:53.705 --> 00:20:55.207
He says, verse 23, "anyone who listens
00:20:55.274 --> 00:20:56.408
"anyone who listens to the word but does not do
00:20:56.475 --> 00:20:58.143
To the word but does not do what it says is like someone who
00:20:58.210 --> 00:21:02.781
What it says is like someone who looks at his face in a mirror."
00:21:02.848 --> 00:21:08.920
Looks at his face in a mirror." man, an interesting image
00:21:08.987 --> 00:21:09.988
Man, an interesting image he says, he's like,
00:21:10.055 --> 00:21:11.290
He says, he's like, "looks at his face
00:21:11.356 --> 00:21:11.923
"looks at his face in the mirror and after
00:21:11.990 --> 00:21:12.591
In the mirror and after looking at himself, goes away
00:21:12.658 --> 00:21:16.261
Looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets
00:21:16.328 --> 00:21:19.264
And immediately forgets what he looks like.
00:21:19.331 --> 00:21:21.933
What he looks like. but whoever looks intently
00:21:22.000 --> 00:21:23.435
But whoever looks intently into the perfect law
00:21:23.502 --> 00:21:25.804
Into the perfect law that gives freedom
00:21:25.871 --> 00:21:26.738
That gives freedom and continues in it
00:21:26.805 --> 00:21:29.441
And continues in it not forgetting what they
00:21:29.508 --> 00:21:30.342
Not forgetting what they have heard, but doing it,
00:21:30.409 --> 00:21:34.146
Have heard, but doing it, they will be...

>> be strong. do the work.
00:21:43.789 --> 00:21:45.457
Do the work. what happens when you
00:21:45.524 --> 00:21:46.191
What happens when you do the work?
00:21:46.258 --> 00:21:48.060
Do the work? you'd be strong.
00:21:48.126 --> 00:21:49.928
You'd be strong. not perfect, but stronger.
00:21:49.995 --> 00:21:52.964
Not perfect, but stronger. not there, but closer.
00:21:53.031 --> 00:21:57.002
Not there, but closer. not monastic, but maybe not
00:21:57.069 --> 00:21:59.438
Not monastic, but maybe not going off on everybody.
00:21:59.504 --> 00:22:02.908
Going off on everybody. not perfect, but blessed.
00:22:02.974 --> 00:22:06.945
Not perfect, but blessed. and he said,
00:22:07.012 --> 00:22:08.580
And he said, "it's like a mirror."
00:22:08.647 --> 00:22:10.716
"it's like a mirror." the word god gives you
00:22:10.782 --> 00:22:12.384
The word god gives you is like a mirror,
00:22:12.451 --> 00:22:14.419
Is like a mirror, and it show you who god is,
00:22:14.486 --> 00:22:18.090
And it show you who god is, and it shows you
00:22:18.156 --> 00:22:19.791
And it shows you who you really are.
00:22:19.858 --> 00:22:22.961
Who you really are. and that's why something
00:22:23.028 --> 00:22:24.062
And that's why something comes alive in you
00:22:24.129 --> 00:22:25.831
Comes alive in you when you hear god's word,
00:22:25.897 --> 00:22:27.699
When you hear god's word, and it hits you in
00:22:27.766 --> 00:22:28.967
And it hits you in your spirit because
00:22:29.034 --> 00:22:30.836
Your spirit because it's going in you.
00:22:30.902 --> 00:22:32.804
It's going in you. and every label that has
00:22:32.871 --> 00:22:34.506
And every label that has been slapped on you
00:22:34.573 --> 00:22:36.808
Been slapped on you even by your own words,
00:22:36.875 --> 00:22:39.277
Even by your own words, when you get in the mirror
00:22:39.344 --> 00:22:40.445
When you get in the mirror of god's word, it begins to
00:22:40.512 --> 00:22:45.851
Of god's word, it begins to reverse every curse that has
00:22:45.917 --> 00:22:49.888
Reverse every curse that has been spoken over your life.
00:22:49.955 --> 00:22:54.993
Been spoken over your life. so, when holly was getting
00:22:55.060 --> 00:22:56.228
So, when holly was getting dressed the other day,
00:22:56.294 --> 00:22:57.662
Dressed the other day, she put on this --
00:22:57.729 --> 00:22:58.563
She put on this -- this hoodie for can you imagine,
00:22:58.630 --> 00:23:01.166
This hoodie for can you imagine, and she was looking at it
00:23:01.233 --> 00:23:03.335
And she was looking at it in the mirror.
00:23:03.402 --> 00:23:04.803
In the mirror. and when she was looking at it,
00:23:04.870 --> 00:23:06.304
And when she was looking at it, she said, "is it backwards?"
00:23:06.371 --> 00:23:10.108
She said, "is it backwards?" and i said, "yeah."
00:23:10.175 --> 00:23:11.977
And i said, "yeah." and she said,
00:23:12.043 --> 00:23:12.744
And she said, "but i'm confused.
00:23:12.811 --> 00:23:13.578
"but i'm confused. oh yeah.
00:23:13.645 --> 00:23:14.980
Oh yeah. i'm looking at it
00:23:15.046 --> 00:23:16.648
I'm looking at it in the mirror."
00:23:16.715 --> 00:23:18.583
In the mirror." because on this hoodie,
00:23:18.650 --> 00:23:19.551
Because on this hoodie, can you see it?
00:23:19.618 --> 00:23:20.051
Can you see it? it's -- it's backwards.
00:23:20.118 --> 00:23:21.887
It's -- it's backwards. but when you get
00:23:21.953 --> 00:23:22.988
But when you get in front of a mirror...
00:23:23.054 --> 00:23:24.589
In front of a mirror... [applause]
00:23:24.656 --> 00:23:28.226
[applause] what does a mirror do?
00:23:28.293 --> 00:23:32.664
What does a mirror do? it reflects back whatever
00:23:32.731 --> 00:23:35.300
It reflects back whatever stands in front of it,
00:23:35.367 --> 00:23:37.602
Stands in front of it, but the light makes it
00:23:37.669 --> 00:23:39.871
But the light makes it reflects back backwards.
00:23:39.938 --> 00:23:43.775
Reflects back backwards. so, god says, "when you
00:23:43.842 --> 00:23:46.077
So, god says, "when you come in my presence,
00:23:46.144 --> 00:23:47.879
Come in my presence, when you receive
00:23:47.946 --> 00:23:49.214
When you receive a word from me,
00:23:49.281 --> 00:23:50.949
A word from me, when you stand before heaven,
00:23:51.016 --> 00:23:53.351
When you stand before heaven, you're not just looking
00:23:53.418 --> 00:23:54.619
You're not just looking at yourself,
00:23:54.686 --> 00:23:56.021
At yourself, you are looking at your
00:23:56.087 --> 00:23:57.589
You are looking at your father who is perfect.
00:23:57.656 --> 00:23:59.925
Father who is perfect. your father who spoke
00:23:59.991 --> 00:24:01.726
Your father who spoke a word over your life.
00:24:01.793 --> 00:24:03.929
A word over your life. before you were knit together,
00:24:03.995 --> 00:24:06.298
