You're arguing with the wrong dude.
00:00:28.191 --> 00:00:29.592
The wrong dude. i know too much about it.
00:00:29.659 --> 00:00:31.928
I know too much about it. i've experienced it.
00:00:31.995 --> 00:00:32.896
I've experienced it. you may as well try to tell me,
00:00:32.962 --> 00:00:34.164
You may as well try to tell me, "holly can't cook."
00:00:34.230 --> 00:00:36.299
"holly can't cook." i've had too much of her food.
00:00:36.366 --> 00:00:38.601
I've had too much of her food. you can't convince me that
00:00:38.668 --> 00:00:40.236
You can't convince me that god's word doesn't work.
00:00:40.303 --> 00:00:42.272
God's word doesn't work. i have tasted and seen
00:00:42.338 --> 00:00:45.775
I have tasted and seen that the lord is good.
00:00:45.842 --> 00:00:46.609
That the lord is good. [applause]
00:00:46.676 --> 00:00:49.379
[applause] do you know how much doubt
00:00:49.446 --> 00:00:50.680
Do you know how much doubt i had about what i stood up
00:00:50.747 --> 00:00:51.781
I had about what i stood up to preach to you today?
00:00:51.848 --> 00:00:53.116
To preach to you today? zero.
00:00:53.183 --> 00:00:54.784
Zero. because it's working for me.
00:00:54.851 --> 00:00:57.520
Because it's working for me. i would feel sorry for
00:00:57.587 --> 00:00:58.855
I would feel sorry for a preacher who got up
00:00:58.922 --> 00:00:59.823
A preacher who got up and was just trying stuff out.
00:00:59.889 --> 00:01:02.225
And was just trying stuff out. "i hope this is a good sermon."
00:01:02.292 --> 00:01:03.493
"i hope this is a good sermon." i don't hope this is
00:01:03.560 --> 00:01:04.127
I don't hope this is a good sermon.
00:01:04.194 --> 00:01:05.829
A good sermon. this sermon has been
00:01:05.895 --> 00:01:06.696
This sermon has been inside of me working in me.
00:01:06.763 --> 00:01:11.301
Inside of me working in me. i mean, when i tell you
00:01:11.367 --> 00:01:12.035
I mean, when i tell you me and holly are tag team,
00:01:12.102 --> 00:01:12.936
Me and holly are tag team, and we talked all week
00:01:13.002 --> 00:01:13.837
And we talked all week about this.
00:01:13.903 --> 00:01:14.304
About this. what kind of work
00:01:14.370 --> 00:01:15.205
What kind of work has god called you to do,
00:01:15.271 --> 00:01:16.506
Has god called you to do, and where is the line
00:01:16.573 --> 00:01:17.707
And where is the line between us trying to work
00:01:17.774 --> 00:01:19.409
Between us trying to work to earn our own salvation
00:01:19.476 --> 00:01:21.211
To earn our own salvation versus accepting
00:01:21.277 --> 00:01:22.312
Versus accepting the grace of god?
00:01:22.378 --> 00:01:23.313
The grace of god? because people will try
00:01:23.379 --> 00:01:24.080
Because people will try to make them opposites
00:01:24.147 --> 00:01:24.948
To make them opposites and they're not opposites.
00:01:25.014 --> 00:01:27.650
And they're not opposites. the more grace you get
00:01:27.717 --> 00:01:29.385
The more grace you get from god for your situation,
00:01:29.452 --> 00:01:31.855
From god for your situation, the more stable you're gonna be
00:01:31.921 --> 00:01:33.123
The more stable you're gonna be to show up for it and fight
00:01:33.189 --> 00:01:34.390
To show up for it and fight the good fight of faith.
00:01:34.457 --> 00:01:35.492
The good fight of faith. [applause]
00:01:35.558 --> 00:01:37.060
[applause] so, these are not opposites.
00:01:37.127 --> 00:01:39.329
So, these are not opposites. the grace of god comes in order
00:01:39.395 --> 00:01:41.131
The grace of god comes in order to grow me into the person
00:01:41.197 --> 00:01:42.632
To grow me into the person that god has called me to be.
00:01:42.699 --> 00:01:44.200
That god has called me to be. [applause]
00:01:44.267 --> 00:01:45.668
[applause] and that is why god
00:01:45.735 --> 00:01:46.836
And that is why god does not start with
00:01:46.903 --> 00:01:49.038
Does not start with who you are right now,
00:01:49.105 --> 00:01:51.207
Who you are right now, he starts with what
00:01:51.274 --> 00:01:52.909
He starts with what he choose you to do,
00:01:52.976 --> 00:01:55.178
He choose you to do, what he called you to do.
00:01:55.245 --> 00:01:57.413
What he called you to do. god does not start with
00:01:57.480 --> 00:01:58.348
God does not start with your experience level.
00:01:58.414 --> 00:02:00.450
Your experience level. god works in reverse.
00:02:00.517 --> 00:02:05.321
God works in reverse. so, god knows what
00:02:05.388 --> 00:02:07.724
So, god knows what you need to build,
00:02:07.790 --> 00:02:09.058
You need to build, whether that's a business,
00:02:09.125 --> 00:02:10.693
Whether that's a business, whether that's a family,
00:02:10.760 --> 00:02:12.061
Whether that's a family, whether that's a discipline,
00:02:12.128 --> 00:02:13.630
Whether that's a discipline, whether that's a habit pattern,
00:02:13.696 --> 00:02:15.398
Whether that's a habit pattern, god knows what you
00:02:15.465 --> 00:02:18.501
God knows what you need to build.
00:02:18.568 --> 00:02:19.335
Need to build. and nobody else can build it
00:02:19.402 --> 00:02:21.037
And nobody else can build it 'cause he chose you to build it.
00:02:21.104 --> 00:02:22.305
'cause he chose you to build it. and if you don't do it,
00:02:22.372 --> 00:02:24.007
And if you don't do it, it won't get done.
00:02:24.073 --> 00:02:25.508
It won't get done. oh, you say, "but god will
00:02:25.575 --> 00:02:26.609
Oh, you say, "but god will do it through somebody else."
00:02:26.676 --> 00:02:27.710
Do it through somebody else." he will do it through
00:02:27.777 --> 00:02:29.179
He will do it through someone else but there will
00:02:29.245 --> 00:02:30.713
Someone else but there will be a great loss in the process
00:02:30.780 --> 00:02:33.816
Be a great loss in the process of you not choosing to do what
00:02:33.883 --> 00:02:36.286
Of you not choosing to do what god called you to do.
00:02:36.352 --> 00:02:37.320
God called you to do. [applause]
00:02:37.387 --> 00:02:39.622
[applause] that's why i holler,
00:02:39.689 --> 00:02:40.390
That's why i holler, that's why i scream because,
00:02:40.456 --> 00:02:42.225
That's why i scream because, do you really think that
00:02:42.292 --> 00:02:43.526
Do you really think that there aren't people listening
00:02:43.593 --> 00:02:44.727
There aren't people listening to me today who feels
00:02:44.794 --> 00:02:46.196
To me today who feels so abandoned, and so small,
00:02:46.262 --> 00:02:48.965
So abandoned, and so small, and so unchosen,
00:02:49.032 --> 00:02:50.633
And so unchosen, and so picked over,
00:02:50.700 --> 00:02:52.702
And so picked over, and so unwanted,
00:02:52.769 --> 00:02:53.803
And so unwanted, and so rejected,
00:02:53.870 --> 00:02:55.305
And so rejected, and so betrayed
00:02:55.371 --> 00:02:57.040
And so betrayed that even just to hear,
00:02:57.106 --> 00:02:58.708
That even just to hear, "god chose you.
00:02:58.775 --> 00:02:59.876
"god chose you. god wants you.
00:02:59.943 --> 00:03:01.144
God wants you. god sees you."
00:03:01.211 --> 00:03:02.345
God sees you." [applause]
00:03:02.412 --> 00:03:04.781
[applause] "god chose you.
00:03:04.847 --> 00:03:07.383
"god chose you. god wants you.
00:03:07.450 --> 00:03:09.786
God wants you. god sees you."
00:03:09.852 --> 00:03:11.788
God sees you." "god chooses the weak things
00:03:11.854 --> 00:03:15.391
"god chooses the weak things of the world
00:03:15.458 --> 00:03:17.193
Of the world to shame the strong."
00:03:17.260 --> 00:03:20.863
To shame the strong." you know why you like that
00:03:20.930 --> 00:03:21.698
You know why you like that so much when i said it?
00:03:21.764 --> 00:03:22.632
So much when i said it? 'cause it's a bible verse.
00:03:22.699 --> 00:03:24.500
'cause it's a bible verse. 1 corinthians 1:27,
00:03:24.567 --> 00:03:26.869
1 corinthians 1:27, "but god chose the weak things
00:03:26.936 --> 00:03:31.207
"but god chose the weak things of the world to shame
00:03:31.274 --> 00:03:33.576
Of the world to shame the strong."
00:03:33.643 --> 00:03:34.711
The strong." say it again, "god...
00:03:34.777 --> 00:03:36.479
Say it again, "god... >> congregation: god...
00:03:36.546 --> 00:03:37.080
>> congregation: god... >> chose."
00:03:37.146 --> 00:03:37.814
>> chose." >> congregation: chose.
00:03:37.880 --> 00:03:38.348
>> congregation: chose. >> that's what we started off
00:03:38.414 --> 00:03:39.249
>> that's what we started off saying, right?
00:03:39.315 --> 00:03:40.783
Saying, right? it's that god chose solomon.
00:03:40.850 --> 00:03:44.787
It's that god chose solomon. who was solomon?
00:03:44.854 --> 00:03:46.389
Who was solomon? he was the son that david
00:03:46.456 --> 00:03:47.357
Would have never chosen
00:03:47.457 --> 00:03:48.825
Would have never chosen to build the temple.
00:03:48.891 --> 00:03:51.160
To build the temple. david would have
00:03:51.227 --> 00:03:51.661
David would have chosen his son absalom.
00:03:51.728 --> 00:03:55.231
Chosen his son absalom. god chose solomon.
00:03:55.298 --> 00:03:56.566
Anybody wanna take a guess
00:04:00.103 --> 00:04:01.237
When david made the biggest
00:04:01.337 --> 00:04:02.605
When david made the biggest mistake of his life
00:04:02.672 --> 00:04:04.007
Mistake of his life and slept with bathsheba
00:04:04.073 --> 00:04:05.108
And slept with bathsheba and the child born was died,
00:04:05.174 --> 00:04:06.142
And the child born was died, and he went back to have
00:04:06.209 --> 00:04:06.876
And he went back to have another child.
00:04:06.943 --> 00:04:07.810
Another child. anybody wanna guess what
00:04:07.877 --> 00:04:11.281
Anybody wanna guess what the name of the child was
00:04:11.347 --> 00:04:12.148
The name of the child was that he had after his
00:04:12.215 --> 00:04:12.949
That he had after his greatest mistake?
00:04:13.016 --> 00:04:14.550
Greatest mistake? >> solomon.
00:04:14.617 --> 00:04:15.618
>> solomon. >> yeah.
00:04:15.685 --> 00:04:17.687
>> yeah. i thank you for having
00:04:17.754 --> 00:04:18.321
I thank you for having the boldness to say that
00:04:18.388 --> 00:04:19.289
The boldness to say that 'cause i think everybody else
00:04:19.355 --> 00:04:20.356
'cause i think everybody else in the church was like,
00:04:20.423 --> 00:04:21.190
In the church was like, "it must be a set up
00:04:21.257 --> 00:04:22.292
"it must be a set up 'cause he can't --
00:04:22.358 --> 00:04:23.092
'cause he can't -- it can't be solomon."
00:04:23.159 --> 00:04:23.926
It can't be solomon." god -- there's --
00:04:23.993 --> 00:04:25.662
God -- there's -- 'cause there's no way, right?
00:04:25.728 --> 00:04:26.496
'cause there's no way, right? who said it?
00:04:26.562 --> 00:04:27.463
Who said it? who said it out loud?
00:04:27.530 --> 00:04:28.064
Who said it out loud? how -- how could it be solomon?
00:04:28.131 --> 00:04:30.466
How -- how could it be solomon? he's inexperienced.
00:04:30.533 --> 00:04:32.869
He's inexperienced. he was the product of a
00:04:32.935 --> 00:04:35.071
He was the product of a bad decision that david made.
00:04:35.138 --> 00:04:37.307
Bad decision that david made. how could god use the weak thing
00:04:37.373 --> 00:04:42.312
How could god use the weak thing to build the glorious thing?
00:04:42.378 --> 00:04:45.048
To build the glorious thing? and you might be wondering
00:04:45.114 --> 00:04:45.782
And you might be wondering that about your life today.
00:04:45.848 --> 00:04:48.017
That about your life today. and maybe that's why god
00:04:48.084 --> 00:04:49.185
And maybe that's why god gave me this word for you,
00:04:49.252 --> 00:04:51.954
Gave me this word for you, so you could know that people
00:04:52.021 --> 00:04:54.590
So you could know that people build on your successes.
00:04:54.657 --> 00:04:58.227
Build on your successes. people choose according
00:04:58.294 --> 00:04:59.228
People choose according to your wisdom.
00:04:59.295 --> 00:05:03.066
To your wisdom. but with god,
00:05:03.132 --> 00:05:04.667
But with god, it works in reverse.
00:05:04.734 --> 00:05:08.871
It works in reverse. i want you to get that in your
00:05:08.938 --> 00:05:09.939
I want you to get that in your spirit that it works in reverse,
00:05:10.006 --> 00:05:12.742
Spirit that it works in reverse, that god does not choose
00:05:12.809 --> 00:05:14.277
That god does not choose the moments when you feel
00:05:14.344 --> 00:05:15.411
The moments when you feel the strongest to show up
00:05:15.478 --> 00:05:16.546
The strongest to show up the most in your life.
00:05:16.612 --> 00:05:19.215
The most in your life. i'm a living witness.
00:05:19.282 --> 00:05:21.884
I'm a living witness. it is the moments when
00:05:21.951 --> 00:05:24.287
It is the moments when you are working
00:05:24.354 --> 00:05:24.921
You are working through the weakness,
00:05:24.987 --> 00:05:25.755
Through the weakness, whatever it may be.
00:05:25.822 --> 00:05:26.689
Whatever it may be. some of you got a temper,
00:05:26.756 --> 00:05:27.657
Some of you got a temper, some of you got an addition
00:05:27.724 --> 00:05:28.825
Some of you got an addition to something that is
00:05:28.891 --> 00:05:30.026
To something that is chemical in nature,
00:05:30.093 --> 00:05:31.027
Chemical in nature, it could even just be food,
00:05:31.094 --> 00:05:32.428
It could even just be food, it could be an addiction
00:05:32.495 --> 00:05:33.496
It could be an addiction to bitterness.
00:05:33.563 --> 00:05:34.030
To bitterness. i mean, there's all
00:05:34.097 --> 00:05:34.597
I mean, there's all kinds of additions.
00:05:34.664 --> 00:05:35.298
Kinds of additions. do i really need to list
00:05:35.365 --> 00:05:36.165
Do i really need to list every single one of them?
00:05:36.232 --> 00:05:36.999
Every single one of them? because i promise i will.
00:05:37.066 --> 00:05:38.735
Because i promise i will. i will go in alphabetical
00:05:38.801 --> 00:05:39.736
I will go in alphabetical order 'til i hit
00:05:39.802 --> 00:05:40.269
Order 'til i hit everybody on every row.
00:05:40.336 --> 00:05:41.304
Everybody on every row. "oh no, i'm not
00:05:41.371 --> 00:05:41.804
"oh no, i'm not addicted to anything."
00:05:41.871 --> 00:05:42.772
Addicted to anything." just let me get to c,
00:05:42.839 --> 00:05:43.673
Just let me get to c, you control freak.
00:05:43.740 --> 00:05:44.674
You control freak. [laughter]
00:05:44.741 --> 00:05:48.778
[laughter] and if i get to the ps,
00:05:48.845 --> 00:05:49.779
And if i get to the ps, i'll talk about your pride
00:05:49.846 --> 00:05:50.780
I'll talk about your pride for saying you don't
00:05:50.847 --> 00:05:51.481
For saying you don't have any additions.
00:05:51.547 --> 00:05:52.348
Have any additions. we will rattle them off.
00:05:52.415 --> 00:05:55.585
We will rattle them off. [laughter]
00:05:55.651 --> 00:05:58.888
[laughter] and the good news of
00:05:58.955 --> 00:05:59.756
And the good news of the gospel to me is that
00:05:59.822 --> 00:06:02.358
The gospel to me is that god chose the weak things.
00:06:02.425 --> 00:06:05.995
When you put it on
00:06:09.799 --> 00:06:10.333
When you put it on the coffee mug, holly,
00:06:10.400 --> 00:06:12.735
The coffee mug, holly, put it where it can go both
00:06:12.802 --> 00:06:14.537
Put it where it can go both ways when you turn it around.
00:06:14.604 --> 00:06:17.306
Ways when you turn it around. so, when i'm drinking
00:06:17.373 --> 00:06:18.074
So, when i'm drinking my coffee in the morning,
00:06:18.141 --> 00:06:19.976
My coffee in the morning, after next mother's day.
00:06:20.042 --> 00:06:21.477
After next mother's day. i could picture it right now.
00:06:21.544 --> 00:06:22.612
I could picture it right now. [laughter]
00:06:22.678 --> 00:06:23.379
[laughter] because i promise you
00:06:23.446 --> 00:06:24.213
Because i promise you one thing, i am not
00:06:24.280 --> 00:06:24.981
One thing, i am not strong without coffee.
00:06:25.047 --> 00:06:27.150
Strong without coffee. so, i know i need caffeine.
00:06:27.216 --> 00:06:28.518
So, i know i need caffeine. i need christ.
00:06:28.584 --> 00:06:29.218
I need christ. i need caffeine.
00:06:29.285 --> 00:06:29.952
I need caffeine. but i usually need them
00:06:30.019 --> 00:06:30.653
But i usually need them in the opposite order.
00:06:30.720 --> 00:06:32.455
In the opposite order. it's usually the caffeine
00:06:32.522 --> 00:06:33.423
It's usually the caffeine then the christ because
00:06:33.489 --> 00:06:34.323
Then the christ because i can't find christ
00:06:34.390 --> 00:06:35.158
I can't find christ without the caffeine.
00:06:35.224 --> 00:06:36.125
Without the caffeine. i am confessing
00:06:36.192 --> 00:06:37.160
I am confessing in front of thousands.
00:06:37.226 --> 00:06:38.094
In front of thousands. [laughter]
00:06:38.161 --> 00:06:40.096
[laughter] make sure when you turn
00:06:40.163 --> 00:06:40.897
Make sure when you turn the mug around it says,
00:06:40.963 --> 00:06:42.432
The mug around it says, "be strong, do the work."
00:06:42.498 --> 00:06:43.366
"be strong, do the work." but make sure it's on two sides
00:06:43.433 --> 00:06:45.435
But make sure it's on two sides so we can remember this message.
00:06:45.501 --> 00:06:47.937
So we can remember this message. where we can say, "oh, i don't
00:06:48.004 --> 00:06:49.472
Where we can say, "oh, i don't feel strong.
00:06:49.539 --> 00:06:50.239
Feel strong. how am i going to be strong?"
00:06:50.306 --> 00:06:55.011
How am i going to be strong?" [applause]
00:06:55.077 --> 00:06:58.181
[applause] is this too simple?
00:06:58.247 --> 00:07:00.416
Is this too simple? do y'all want me to give you
00:07:00.483 --> 00:07:01.517
Do y'all want me to give you a detailed explanation
00:07:01.584 --> 00:07:03.519
A detailed explanation of the dimensions of
00:07:03.586 --> 00:07:04.220
Of the dimensions of the temple that solomon built,
00:07:04.287 --> 00:07:05.888
The temple that solomon built, and the type of bronze that
00:07:05.955 --> 00:07:07.156
And the type of bronze that was imported for him to do it
00:07:07.223 --> 00:07:08.891
Was imported for him to do it from the king of harem
00:07:08.958 --> 00:07:09.659
From the king of harem and the dimensions of
00:07:09.725 --> 00:07:10.660
And the dimensions of the inner courtyard,
00:07:10.726 --> 00:07:11.394
The inner courtyard, and the outer courtyard,
00:07:11.461 --> 00:07:12.161
And the outer courtyard, and the lamp stands,
00:07:12.228 --> 00:07:12.929
And the lamp stands, and the incense?
00:07:12.995 --> 00:07:14.096
And the incense? is that what you want?
00:07:14.163 --> 00:07:14.730
Is that what you want? i think the deepest thing
00:07:14.797 --> 00:07:18.100
I think the deepest thing we can do with the word
00:07:18.167 --> 00:07:20.369
We can do with the word from god is to do it.
00:07:20.436 --> 00:07:25.107
From god is to do it. [applause]
00:07:25.174 --> 00:07:27.577
[applause] i'm -- i'm preaching
00:07:27.643 --> 00:07:28.177
I'm -- i'm preaching a lot from the old testament
00:07:28.244 --> 00:07:29.245
A lot from the old testament this year because i'm having
00:07:29.312 --> 00:07:30.813
This year because i'm having a very special time with
00:07:30.880 --> 00:07:32.014
A very special time with my own family reading through
00:07:32.081 --> 00:07:34.250
My own family reading through the old testament
00:07:34.317 --> 00:07:34.884
The old testament chapter by chapter with
00:07:34.951 --> 00:07:36.018
Chapter by chapter with elijah, my oldest son.
00:07:36.085 --> 00:07:37.653
Elijah, my oldest son. he was going through the bible,
00:07:37.720 --> 00:07:39.222
He was going through the bible, and i told you this,
00:07:39.288 --> 00:07:40.323
And i told you this, but i wanna tell you again
00:07:40.389 --> 00:07:41.057
But i wanna tell you again 'cause the holy spirit
00:07:41.123 --> 00:07:41.924
'cause the holy spirit brought it to my attention
00:07:41.991 --> 00:07:43.993
Brought it to my attention where he -- he had
00:07:44.060 --> 00:07:46.128
Where he -- he had the great idea to go
00:07:46.195 --> 00:07:46.829
The great idea to go through the bible slow.
00:07:46.896 --> 00:07:49.232
Through the bible slow. and he's like, "i don't wanna
00:07:49.298 --> 00:07:50.032
And he's like, "i don't wanna just rush through it,
00:07:50.099 --> 00:07:51.033
Just rush through it, i wanna go slow."
00:07:51.100 --> 00:07:51.801
I wanna go slow." so, him and kelsey were
00:07:51.868 --> 00:07:53.135
So, him and kelsey were reading and then i jumped in
00:07:53.202 --> 00:07:54.303
Reading and then i jumped in and kinda like invited myself
00:07:54.370 --> 00:07:55.771
And kinda like invited myself to the group and started giving
00:07:55.838 --> 00:07:58.407
To the group and started giving 'em a key verse every day.
00:07:58.474 --> 00:08:00.943
'em a key verse every day. now the reason i choose
00:08:01.010 --> 00:08:01.677
Now the reason i choose the key verse principle
00:08:01.744 --> 00:08:02.945
The key verse principle is because sometimes
00:08:03.012 --> 00:08:04.514
Is because sometimes you can just read a
00:08:04.580 --> 00:08:05.348
You can just read a scripture or hear a sermon
00:08:05.414 --> 00:08:08.518
Scripture or hear a sermon and go, "oh, that's good."
00:08:08.584 --> 00:08:12.355
And go, "oh, that's good." it's like that --
00:08:12.421 --> 00:08:12.989
It's like that -- that youtube short.
00:08:13.055 --> 00:08:14.357
That youtube short. "the only bible verse
00:08:14.423 --> 00:08:15.291
"the only bible verse you ever need to have
00:08:15.358 --> 00:08:16.893
You ever need to have big shoulders for the lord."
00:08:16.959 --> 00:08:18.761
Big shoulders for the lord." [laughter]
00:08:18.828 --> 00:08:19.662
[laughter] "to have a strong spirit,
00:08:19.729 --> 00:08:21.197
"to have a strong spirit, to be worry free
00:08:21.264 --> 00:08:21.797
To be worry free and anxiety free."
00:08:21.864 --> 00:08:22.765
And anxiety free." and i -- i love all these
00:08:22.832 --> 00:08:23.833
And i -- i love all these youtube shorts i, of course,
00:08:23.900 --> 00:08:25.034
Youtube shorts i, of course, put content on 'em.
00:08:25.101 --> 00:08:26.369
Put content on 'em. that's not my point.
00:08:26.435 --> 00:08:27.169
That's not my point. my point is i never
00:08:27.236 --> 00:08:28.971
My point is i never got stronger 'cause
00:08:29.038 --> 00:08:30.072
Got stronger 'cause of something i clicked on.
00:08:30.139 --> 00:08:34.977
Of something i clicked on. i've gotten a lot stronger
00:08:35.044 --> 00:08:36.712
I've gotten a lot stronger in my adult life
00:08:36.779 --> 00:08:37.914
In my adult life because i worked hard
00:08:37.980 --> 00:08:38.581
Because i worked hard at that physically,
00:08:38.648 --> 00:08:40.082
At that physically, but never because
00:08:40.149 --> 00:08:40.850
But never because i clicked on something.
00:08:40.917 --> 00:08:43.286
I clicked on something. it was always
00:08:43.352 --> 00:08:44.153
It was always something that i did.
00:08:44.220 --> 00:08:47.290
Something that i did. i might click on it
00:08:47.356 --> 00:08:48.424
I might click on it to learn something,
00:08:48.491 --> 00:08:50.793
To learn something, but until i did it.
00:08:50.860 --> 00:08:53.262
But until i did it. [applause]
00:08:53.329 --> 00:08:57.133
[applause] now, this sermon
00:08:57.199 --> 00:08:59.068
Now, this sermon could be something
00:08:59.135 --> 00:09:00.102
Could be something that you click on today,
00:09:00.169 --> 00:09:02.305
That you click on today, it could be something
00:09:02.371 --> 00:09:03.139
It could be something that you click on and go,
00:09:03.205 --> 00:09:04.140
That you click on and go, "oh, that's -- that's really
00:09:04.206 --> 00:09:05.975
"oh, that's -- that's really good and true and be strong
00:09:06.042 --> 00:09:08.244
Good and true and be strong and do the work.
00:09:08.311 --> 00:09:09.445
And do the work. yeah.
00:09:09.512 --> 00:09:12.048
Yeah. yes."
00:09:12.114 --> 00:09:14.917
Yes." that's awesome.
00:09:14.984 --> 00:09:16.719
That's awesome. but go over to james 1,
00:09:16.786 --> 00:09:18.821
But go over to james 1, because this is why i do
00:09:18.888 --> 00:09:19.555
Because this is why i do the key verse principle
00:09:19.622 --> 00:09:20.756
With my family,
00:09:20.856 --> 00:09:21.657
With my family, and i think it would
00:09:21.724 --> 00:09:22.625
And i think it would be a wonderful thing
00:09:22.692 --> 00:09:24.060
Be a wonderful thing for us to go over
00:09:24.126 --> 00:09:24.860
For us to go over as a church together.
00:09:24.927 --> 00:09:26.896
As a church together. in the book of james,
00:09:26.963 --> 00:09:28.631
In the book of james, he's making the case that,
00:09:28.698 --> 00:09:29.865
He's making the case that, "faith without works is dead."
00:09:29.932 --> 00:09:34.737
He is not saying that
00:09:34.837 --> 00:09:36.839
He is not saying that the grace of god and the blood
00:09:36.906 --> 00:09:38.007
The grace of god and the blood of jesus is not enough
00:09:38.074 --> 00:09:39.141
Of jesus is not enough to cover your sin,
00:09:39.208 --> 00:09:41.577
To cover your sin, but he's saying if you
00:09:41.644 --> 00:09:42.545
But he's saying if you come to the place
00:09:42.612 --> 00:09:44.647
Come to the place where you hear the word --
00:09:44.714 --> 00:09:45.448
Where you hear the word -- in fact, he gives an analogy.
00:09:45.514 --> 00:09:47.883
In fact, he gives an analogy. he says -- what verse
00:09:47.950 --> 00:09:49.018
He says -- what verse did i start y'all on 21?
00:09:49.085 --> 00:09:50.586
Did i start y'all on 21? give me that, james 1:21.
00:09:50.653 --> 00:09:52.755
Give me that, james 1:21. yeah.
00:09:52.822 --> 00:09:53.022
Yeah. he says, "therefore,
00:09:53.089 --> 00:09:54.590
He says, "therefore, get rid of all moral filth
00:09:54.657 --> 00:09:59.629
Get rid of all moral filth and the evil that is
00:09:59.695 --> 00:10:01.330
And the evil that is so prevalent."
00:10:01.397 --> 00:10:03.633
So prevalent." i love that phrase.
00:10:03.699 --> 00:10:04.667
I love that phrase. in the king james,
00:10:04.734 --> 00:10:05.835
In the king james, it talks about
00:10:05.901 --> 00:10:06.769
It talks about superfluous naughtiness.
00:10:06.836 --> 00:10:09.138
Superfluous naughtiness. [laughter]
00:10:09.205 --> 00:10:11.407
[laughter] look it up sometimes.
00:10:11.474 --> 00:10:12.375
Look it up sometimes. the bible is awesome.
00:10:12.441 --> 00:10:13.242
The bible is awesome. you can click around
00:10:13.309 --> 00:10:13.943
You can click around all the translations.
00:10:14.010 --> 00:10:16.078
All the translations. but clicking to
00:10:16.145 --> 00:10:16.946
But clicking to a different translation
00:10:17.013 --> 00:10:17.980
A different translation won't save you, will it?
00:10:18.047 --> 00:10:21.083
Won't save you, will it? clicking around
00:10:21.150 --> 00:10:22.151
Clicking around or highlighting stuff,
00:10:22.218 --> 00:10:23.085
Or highlighting stuff, like, that is wonderful.
00:10:23.152 --> 00:10:25.688
Like, that is wonderful. it is wonderful that
00:10:25.755 --> 00:10:27.156
It is wonderful that you are hearing this word.
00:10:27.223 --> 00:10:28.391
You are hearing this word. the word of god is wonderful.
00:10:28.457 --> 00:10:31.427
The word of god is wonderful. but this is a process that
00:10:31.494 --> 00:10:32.795
But this is a process that james says, he says, "there is
00:10:32.862 --> 00:10:34.830
James says, he says, "there is a getting rid of moral filth."
00:10:34.897 --> 00:10:39.235
A getting rid of moral filth." there's a very specific thing
00:10:39.301 --> 00:10:40.803
There's a very specific thing he's talking about here.
00:10:40.870 --> 00:10:42.304
He's talking about here. he's talking about everything
00:10:42.371 --> 00:10:43.606
He's talking about everything that surrounds you.
00:10:43.673 --> 00:10:46.008
That surrounds you. everything that is -- that is
00:10:46.075 --> 00:10:47.710
Everything that is -- that is covering the true potential
00:10:47.777 --> 00:10:50.279
Covering the true potential of the christ in you.
00:10:50.346 --> 00:10:52.648
Of the christ in you. all of that has to go.
00:10:52.715 --> 00:10:56.852
All of that has to go. put it back up.
00:10:56.919 --> 00:10:59.288
Put it back up. "and humbly accept
00:10:59.355 --> 00:11:02.792
"and humbly accept the word planted in you,
00:11:02.858 --> 00:11:06.896
The word planted in you, which can save you."
00:11:06.962 --> 00:11:08.631
Which can save you." now, that's interesting
00:11:08.698 --> 00:11:09.398
Now, that's interesting 'cause it don't say it
00:11:09.465 --> 00:11:10.032
'cause it don't say it will save you.
00:11:10.099 --> 00:11:13.169
Will save you. it says it can.
00:11:13.235 --> 00:11:15.538
It says it can. this word can help you today.
00:11:15.604 --> 00:11:17.373
This word can help you today. this word can
00:11:17.440 --> 00:11:17.973
This word can set you free today.
00:11:18.040 --> 00:11:19.508
Set you free today. god's presence
00:11:19.575 --> 00:11:20.376
God's presence can touch you today.
00:11:20.443 --> 00:11:22.311
Can touch you today. god can get into your
00:11:22.378 --> 00:11:23.245
God can get into your situation and show you
00:11:23.312 --> 00:11:24.680
Situation and show you stuff that you don't know.
00:11:24.747 --> 00:11:25.648
Stuff that you don't know. he can put in your mind what
00:11:25.715 --> 00:11:27.516
He can put in your mind what only his sprit knows, he can.
00:11:27.583 --> 00:11:31.454
Only his sprit knows, he can. but this is not in the category
00:11:31.520 --> 00:11:33.923
But this is not in the category of the salvation that you get
00:11:33.989 --> 00:11:35.858
Of the salvation that you get when you come to christ,
00:11:35.925 --> 00:11:37.359
When you come to christ, this is salvation from yourself.
00:11:37.426 --> 00:11:41.263
This is salvation from yourself. so, he says, "the only way
00:11:41.330 --> 00:11:42.865
So, he says, "the only way to be saved from your
00:11:42.932 --> 00:11:43.799
To be saved from your self-deception is to humbly
00:11:43.866 --> 00:11:47.369
Self-deception is to humbly accept the word that
00:11:47.436 --> 00:11:49.772
Accept the word that is planted," where?
00:11:49.839 --> 00:11:51.240
Is planted," where? >> congregation: in you.

Moral filth, where? around you.
00:11:56.846 --> 00:11:58.414
Around you. and you've got this word
00:11:58.481 --> 00:11:59.548
And you've got this word from god planted...

Somebody help me. i need three pentecostals,
00:12:04.120 --> 00:12:05.054
I need three pentecostals, just three, just three.
00:12:05.121 --> 00:12:06.155
Just three, just three. i don't need a lot.
00:12:06.222 --> 00:12:06.789
I don't need a lot. i need three.
00:12:06.856 --> 00:12:07.356
I need three. [cheering]
00:12:07.423 --> 00:12:08.457
[cheering] so, now i understand
00:12:08.524 --> 00:12:09.859
So, now i understand that i've had it backwards.
00:12:09.925 --> 00:12:11.927
That i've had it backwards. because i've been too
00:12:11.994 --> 00:12:13.028
Because i've been too controlled by my environment.
00:12:13.095 --> 00:12:15.498
Controlled by my environment. because i've been too
00:12:15.564 --> 00:12:16.098
Because i've been too controlled by my surroundings.
00:12:16.165 --> 00:12:18.601
Controlled by my surroundings. because i've been too controlled
00:12:18.667 --> 00:12:19.769
Because i've been too controlled by cultural programming.
00:12:19.835 --> 00:12:21.437
By cultural programming. because i've been thro -- too
00:12:21.504 --> 00:12:22.638
Because i've been thro -- too controlled by thoughts that
00:12:22.705 --> 00:12:23.973
Controlled by thoughts that didn't even come from god.
00:12:24.039 --> 00:12:25.474
Didn't even come from god. because i've been too controlled
00:12:25.541 --> 00:12:26.742
Because i've been too controlled by what i see, what i feel,
00:12:26.809 --> 00:12:28.110
By what i see, what i feel, what i think,
00:12:28.177 --> 00:12:28.844
What i think, what i knew up to this point,
00:12:28.911 --> 00:12:30.446
What i knew up to this point, that's what's around me.
00:12:30.513 --> 00:12:32.748
That's what's around me. but when what is around me
00:12:32.815 --> 00:12:34.850
But when what is around me contradicts the word
00:12:34.917 --> 00:12:36.385
Contradicts the word that is planted in me,
00:12:36.452 --> 00:12:38.854
That is planted in me, god says, "we've gotta get
00:12:38.921 --> 00:12:40.189
God says, "we've gotta get this thing switched up."
00:12:40.256 --> 00:12:41.624
This thing switched up." [applause]
00:12:41.690 --> 00:12:43.793
[applause] "because the word
00:12:43.859 --> 00:12:44.527
"because the word that is in you has
00:12:44.593 --> 00:12:45.361
That is in you has potential to save you."
00:12:45.427 --> 00:12:50.166
Potential to save you." but with god,
00:12:50.232 --> 00:12:50.599
But with god, it works in reverse.
00:12:50.666 --> 00:12:51.700
It works in reverse. see, most people live this way,
00:12:51.767 --> 00:12:53.002
See, most people live this way, whatever happens on the outside
00:12:53.068 --> 00:12:55.304
Whatever happens on the outside they react to it.
00:12:55.371 --> 00:12:56.238
They react to it. whatever happens on
00:12:56.305 --> 00:12:57.106
Whatever happens on the outside they move to it.
00:12:57.173 --> 00:12:59.341
The outside they move to it. whatever happens on
00:12:59.408 --> 00:13:00.209
Whatever happens on the outside they dance with it.
00:13:00.276 --> 00:13:02.211
The outside they dance with it. whatever happens on the outside
00:13:02.278 --> 00:13:04.013
Whatever happens on the outside they surrender to it.
00:13:04.079 --> 00:13:05.347
They surrender to it. whatever happens on the outside
00:13:05.414 --> 00:13:07.016
Whatever happens on the outside that's what they consult
00:13:07.082 --> 00:13:08.484
That's what they consult for their next step in life.
00:13:08.551 --> 00:13:10.286
For their next step in life. not you, you're chosen so you
00:13:10.352 --> 00:13:12.888
Not you, you're chosen so you do it different because
00:13:12.955 --> 00:13:14.223
Do it different because in the kingdom of god,
00:13:14.290 --> 00:13:15.858
In the kingdom of god, it works in reverse.
00:13:15.925 --> 00:13:19.028
It works in reverse. say it, "it works in reverse."
00:13:19.094 --> 00:13:22.898
Say it, "it works in reverse." so, i don't start with
00:13:22.965 --> 00:13:24.099
So, i don't start with my situation to see how
00:13:24.166 --> 00:13:25.835
My situation to see how it's going to turn out,
00:13:25.901 --> 00:13:27.570
It's going to turn out, because it works in reverse.
00:13:27.636 --> 00:13:31.574
Because it works in reverse. i can be in a filthy situation,
00:13:31.640 --> 00:13:34.577
I can be in a filthy situation, a naughty situation,
00:13:34.643 --> 00:13:36.645

According to the world, i'd be down about it,
00:13:47.423 --> 00:13:48.290
And i'd be weak about it,
00:13:48.390 --> 00:13:49.825
And i'd be weak about it, and i'd think there was
00:13:49.892 --> 00:13:50.626

No hope in going forward and no cost to continue in it.
00:13:52.061 --> 00:13:53.996
And no cost to continue in it. but i don't walk according

00:16:15.004 --> 00:16:15.871
And i told him that to his face and he received it.
00:16:15.938 --> 00:16:20.609
Face and he received it. he said, "you're right.
00:16:20.676 --> 00:16:21.176
He said, "you're right. you're right.
00:16:21.243 --> 00:16:21.543
You're right. you're right.
00:16:21.610 --> 00:16:21.944
You're right. you're right."
00:16:22.011 --> 00:16:22.878
You're right." i said, "i mean
00:16:22.945 --> 00:16:23.445
I said, "i mean to preach to you."
00:16:23.512 --> 00:16:23.946
To preach to you." he said, "no,
00:16:24.013 --> 00:16:24.380
He said, "no, preach to me, man.
00:16:24.446 --> 00:16:24.880
Preach to me, man. i need it.
00:16:24.947 --> 00:16:25.280
I need it. i need it.
00:16:25.347 --> 00:16:25.647
I need it. i need it."
00:16:25.714 --> 00:16:26.648
I need it." that's what he said,
00:16:26.715 --> 00:16:27.182
That's what he said, he said, "i need it.
00:16:27.249 --> 00:16:27.816
He said, "i need it. i need it.
00:16:27.883 --> 00:16:28.717
I need it. i'm sick of being stuck.
00:16:28.784 --> 00:16:32.988
I'm sick of being stuck. i'm sick of needing to feel
00:16:33.055 --> 00:16:33.856
I'm sick of needing to feel a certain way to do
00:16:33.922 --> 00:16:34.790
A certain way to do a certain thing.
00:16:34.857 --> 00:16:37.026
A certain thing. i'm sick of coming
00:16:37.092 --> 00:16:37.893
I'm sick of coming to church and going like,
00:16:37.960 --> 00:16:38.594
To church and going like, 'oh, yeah.
00:16:38.660 --> 00:16:40.329
'oh, yeah. i wanna live like that.'
00:16:40.396 --> 00:16:44.099
I wanna live like that.' i'm sick of clicking around
00:16:44.166 --> 00:16:44.933
I'm sick of clicking around youtube videos and going,
00:16:45.000 --> 00:16:45.901
Youtube videos and going, 'oh, yeah.
00:16:45.968 --> 00:16:46.568
'oh, yeah. i wanna - i wanna live
00:16:46.635 --> 00:16:49.638
I wanna - i wanna live like that.'"
00:16:49.705 --> 00:16:52.007
Like that.'" so, when james comes along,
00:16:52.074 --> 00:16:53.375
So, when james comes along, he says something very
00:16:53.442 --> 00:16:54.276
He says something very simple in james 1:22,
00:16:54.343 --> 00:16:58.614
Simple in james 1:22, "do not merely
00:16:58.680 --> 00:17:02.584
"do not merely listen to the word."
00:17:02.651 --> 00:17:06.922
Listen to the word." so, i stopped there when
00:17:06.989 --> 00:17:07.823
So, i stopped there when i was studying this week.
00:17:07.890 --> 00:17:08.824
I was studying this week. i'm like, "lord, that would
00:17:08.891 --> 00:17:09.792
I'm like, "lord, that would be good if people would
00:17:09.858 --> 00:17:10.726
Be good if people would even just listen to it.
00:17:10.793 --> 00:17:12.761
Even just listen to it. i mean, they're doing
00:17:12.828 --> 00:17:13.395
I mean, they're doing pretty good just to listen
00:17:13.462 --> 00:17:14.730
Pretty good just to listen to a sermon when there are
00:17:14.797 --> 00:17:15.664
To a sermon when there are so much other options.
00:17:15.731 --> 00:17:17.566
So much other options. why you being so hard on them?
00:17:17.633 --> 00:17:20.369
Why you being so hard on them? they're listening to the word."
00:17:20.436 --> 00:17:22.971
They're listening to the word." but he showed me that when you
00:17:23.038 --> 00:17:25.774
But he showed me that when you listen and don't implement,
00:17:25.841 --> 00:17:29.778
Listen and don't implement, it limits you that much more
00:17:29.845 --> 00:17:31.313
It limits you that much more the next time you hear it,
00:17:31.380 --> 00:17:34.883
The next time you hear it, and it puts a lid on
00:17:34.950 --> 00:17:36.018
And it puts a lid on the potential that
00:17:36.085 --> 00:17:36.685
The potential that he's put inside of you.
00:17:36.752 --> 00:17:39.555
He's put inside of you. so, the next thing becomes
00:17:39.621 --> 00:17:40.622
So, the next thing becomes very, very integral to your
00:17:40.689 --> 00:17:44.593
Very, very integral to your spiritual development.
00:17:44.660 --> 00:17:48.430
Spiritual development. "do not merely listen
00:17:48.497 --> 00:17:49.598
"do not merely listen to the word and so
00:17:49.665 --> 00:17:50.299
To the word and so deceive yourself.
00:17:50.365 --> 00:17:53.102
Deceive yourself. do what it says."
00:17:53.168 --> 00:18:00.242
Do what it says." elijah, where you at, son?
00:18:00.309 --> 00:18:03.112
Elijah, where you at, son? yeah.
00:18:03.178 --> 00:18:03.612
Yeah. thank you for that bible club
00:18:03.679 --> 00:18:04.513
Thank you for that bible club and thank you for this.

And thank you for this. every time he sends his
00:18:06.381 --> 00:18:07.749
Every time he sends his key verse -- 'cause we pick
00:18:07.816 --> 00:18:08.750
Key verse -- 'cause we pick a verse and we say,
00:18:08.817 --> 00:18:09.418
A verse and we say, "this is how i'mma try
00:18:09.485 --> 00:18:10.085
"this is how i'mma try to do this today, right?"
00:18:10.152 --> 00:18:11.920
To do this today, right?" every time he sends his
00:18:11.987 --> 00:18:12.921
Every time he sends his key verse, it's so practical,
00:18:12.988 --> 00:18:16.191
Key verse, it's so practical, and he's so smart.
00:18:16.258 --> 00:18:17.659
And he's so smart. he's so analytical,
00:18:17.726 --> 00:18:19.328
He's so analytical, always has been.
00:18:19.394 --> 00:18:19.995
Always has been. he's -- when he was like
00:18:20.062 --> 00:18:22.064
He's -- when he was like four years old,
00:18:22.131 --> 00:18:24.199
Four years old, he was asking me questions
00:18:24.266 --> 00:18:26.969
He was asking me questions that made me feel i needed to
00:18:27.035 --> 00:18:28.237
That made me feel i needed to go back to bible college again.
00:18:28.303 --> 00:18:32.774
Go back to bible college again. he's asking me stuff about
00:18:32.841 --> 00:18:33.442
He's asking me stuff about god that god hasn't even
00:18:33.509 --> 00:18:34.209
God that god hasn't even asked about god.
00:18:34.276 --> 00:18:36.378
Asked about god. [laughter]
00:18:36.445 --> 00:18:39.815
[laughter] and yet, every time he does it,
00:18:39.882 --> 00:18:40.682
And yet, every time he does it, he puts it so simple,
00:18:40.749 --> 00:18:41.783
He puts it so simple, but at the end of his
00:18:41.850 --> 00:18:42.885
But at the end of his key verses he'll always say,
00:18:42.951 --> 00:18:46.388
Key verses he'll always say, "i hope this isn't too simple."
00:18:46.455 --> 00:18:49.191
"i hope this isn't too simple." don't ever say, "sorry,"
00:18:49.258 --> 00:18:50.692
Don't ever say, "sorry," for keeping it simple.
00:18:50.759 --> 00:18:51.894
For keeping it simple. [applause]
00:18:51.960 --> 00:18:54.930
[applause] because like what you put
00:18:54.997 --> 00:18:56.565
Because like what you put the other day about david
00:18:56.632 --> 00:18:58.267
The other day about david where you said,
00:18:58.333 --> 00:18:58.867
Where you said, "okay, i know this isn't
00:18:58.934 --> 00:18:59.868
"okay, i know this isn't probably the deepest
00:18:59.935 --> 00:19:00.536
Probably the deepest application of the text."
00:19:00.602 --> 00:19:01.603
Application of the text." no, the deepest thing
00:19:01.670 --> 00:19:02.437
No, the deepest thing you could have found
00:19:02.504 --> 00:19:03.038
You could have found is what you found,
00:19:03.105 --> 00:19:03.539
Is what you found, 'cause you found the thing
00:19:03.605 --> 00:19:04.439
'cause you found the thing that god was actually
00:19:04.506 --> 00:19:05.040
That god was actually calling you to do.
00:19:05.107 --> 00:19:07.509
Calling you to do. and i thought that was
00:19:07.576 --> 00:19:08.343
And i thought that was so powerful, 'cause i'm like,
00:19:08.410 --> 00:19:11.413
So powerful, 'cause i'm like, "that is what a disciple --
00:19:11.480 --> 00:19:13.248
"that is what a disciple -- and not that you're --
00:19:13.315 --> 00:19:13.882
And not that you're -- not that you're perfect,
00:19:13.949 --> 00:19:14.850
Not that you're perfect, or i'm perfect,
00:19:14.917 --> 00:19:15.551
Or i'm perfect, or not that, "oh,
00:19:15.617 --> 00:19:16.151
Or not that, "oh, we're reading our bible
00:19:16.218 --> 00:19:17.019
We're reading our bible everyday so we're so great."
00:19:17.085 --> 00:19:18.620
Everyday so we're so great." but i love how i see you
00:19:18.687 --> 00:19:21.390
But i love how i see you working the word.
00:19:21.456 --> 00:19:23.825
Working the word. [applause]
00:19:23.892 --> 00:19:25.761
[applause] because here's what
00:19:25.827 --> 00:19:28.997
Because here's what i know about god's word,
00:19:29.064 --> 00:19:31.166
I know about god's word, it works in reverse.
00:19:31.233 --> 00:19:34.903
It works in reverse. god is giving him wisdom today
00:19:34.970 --> 00:19:37.739
God is giving him wisdom today for experiences he doesn't even
00:19:37.806 --> 00:19:39.608
For experiences he doesn't even know he's going to have yet.
00:19:39.675 --> 00:19:41.210
Know he's going to have yet. [applause]
00:19:41.276 --> 00:19:44.613
[applause] he's digging a well today,
00:19:44.680 --> 00:19:46.748
He's digging a well today, every time he goes to the word
00:19:46.815 --> 00:19:48.050
Every time he goes to the word and puts it into practice.
00:19:48.116 --> 00:19:50.352
Everybody say, "practice."
00:19:50.452 --> 00:19:51.820
Everybody say, "practice." >> congregation: practice.
00:19:51.887 --> 00:19:53.021
>> congregation: practice. >> principles without
00:19:53.088 --> 00:19:53.956
>> principles without practice are powerless.
00:19:54.022 --> 00:19:59.695
Practice are powerless. and every time he puts it
00:19:59.761 --> 00:20:00.562
And every time he puts it into practice let me
00:20:00.629 --> 00:20:01.997
Into practice let me show you what he is defying.
00:20:02.064 --> 00:20:04.967
Show you what he is defying. i close with this image.
00:20:05.033 --> 00:20:07.102

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

And listen -- listen to this picture.

Listen to this picture. remember when it
00:20:24.653 --> 00:20:26.255
Remember when it comes to god's word,
00:20:26.321 --> 00:20:29.024
Comes to god's word, he gives us a picture of who
00:20:29.091 --> 00:20:31.226
He gives us a picture of who he is and we can't see it fully,
00:20:31.293 --> 00:20:33.829
He is and we can't see it fully, but we see in part.
00:20:33.895 --> 00:20:35.797
But we see in part. and he gives us a picture
00:20:35.864 --> 00:20:37.699
And he gives us a picture of who we can be in him.
00:20:37.766 --> 00:20:41.203
Of who we can be in him. and he shows us the strength
00:20:41.270 --> 00:20:42.271
And he shows us the strength that we can have in him
00:20:42.337 --> 00:20:43.372
That we can have in him and the future that
00:20:43.438 --> 00:20:44.339
And the future that we can have in him.
00:20:44.406 --> 00:20:45.340
We can have in him. and the way of life

And the joy that we can have. he gives us a picture.
00:20:49.845 --> 00:20:50.579
He gives us a picture. but watch what james says
00:20:50.646 --> 00:20:51.813
But watch what james says as a warning.
00:20:51.880 --> 00:20:52.648
As a warning. he says, verse 23,
00:20:52.714 --> 00:20:54.216
He says, verse 23, "anyone who listens
00:20:54.283 --> 00:20:55.417
"anyone who listens to the word but does not do
00:20:55.484 --> 00:20:57.152
To the word but does not do what it says is like someone who
00:20:57.219 --> 00:21:01.790
What it says is like someone who looks at his face in a mirror."
00:21:01.857 --> 00:21:07.929
Looks at his face in a mirror." man, an interesting image
00:21:07.996 --> 00:21:08.997
Man, an interesting image he says, he's like,
00:21:09.064 --> 00:21:10.299
He says, he's like, "looks at his face
00:21:10.365 --> 00:21:10.932
"looks at his face in the mirror and after
00:21:10.999 --> 00:21:11.600
In the mirror and after looking at himself, goes away
00:21:11.667 --> 00:21:15.270
Looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets
00:21:15.337 --> 00:21:18.273
And immediately forgets what he looks like.
00:21:18.340 --> 00:21:20.942
What he looks like. but whoever looks intently
00:21:21.009 --> 00:21:22.444
But whoever looks intently into the perfect law
00:21:22.511 --> 00:21:24.813
Into the perfect law that gives freedom
00:21:24.880 --> 00:21:25.747
That gives freedom and continues in it
00:21:25.814 --> 00:21:28.450
And continues in it not forgetting what they
00:21:28.517 --> 00:21:29.351
Not forgetting what they have heard, but doing it,
00:21:29.418 --> 00:21:33.155
Have heard, but doing it, they will be...

>> be strong. do the work.
00:21:42.798 --> 00:21:44.466
Do the work. what happens when you
00:21:44.533 --> 00:21:45.200
What happens when you do the work?
00:21:45.267 --> 00:21:47.069
Do the work? you'd be strong.
00:21:47.135 --> 00:21:48.937
You'd be strong. not perfect, but stronger.
00:21:49.004 --> 00:21:51.973
Not perfect, but stronger. not there, but closer.
00:21:52.040 --> 00:21:56.011
Not there, but closer. not monastic, but maybe not
00:21:56.078 --> 00:21:58.447
Not monastic, but maybe not going off on everybody.
00:21:58.513 --> 00:22:01.917
Going off on everybody. not perfect, but blessed.
00:22:01.983 --> 00:22:05.954
Not perfect, but blessed. and he said,
00:22:06.021 --> 00:22:07.589
And he said, "it's like a mirror."
00:22:07.656 --> 00:22:09.725
"it's like a mirror." the word god gives you
00:22:09.791 --> 00:22:11.393
The word god gives you is like a mirror,
00:22:11.460 --> 00:22:13.428
Is like a mirror, and it show you who god is,
00:22:13.495 --> 00:22:17.099
And it show you who god is, and it shows you
00:22:17.165 --> 00:22:18.800
And it shows you who you really are.
00:22:18.867 --> 00:22:21.970
Who you really are. and that's why something
00:22:22.037 --> 00:22:23.071
And that's why something comes alive in you
00:22:23.138 --> 00:22:24.840
Comes alive in you when you hear god's word,
00:22:24.906 --> 00:22:26.708
When you hear god's word, and it hits you in
00:22:26.775 --> 00:22:27.976
And it hits you in your spirit because
00:22:28.043 --> 00:22:29.845
Your spirit because it's going in you.
00:22:29.911 --> 00:22:31.813
It's going in you. and every label that has
00:22:31.880 --> 00:22:33.515
And every label that has been slapped on you
00:22:33.582 --> 00:22:35.817
Been slapped on you even by your own words,
00:22:35.884 --> 00:22:38.286
Even by your own words, when you get in the mirror
00:22:38.353 --> 00:22:39.454
When you get in the mirror of god's word, it begins to
00:22:39.521 --> 00:22:44.860
Of god's word, it begins to reverse every curse that has
00:22:44.926 --> 00:22:48.897
Reverse every curse that has been spoken over your life.
00:22:48.964 --> 00:22:54.002
Been spoken over your life. so, when holly was getting
00:22:54.069 --> 00:22:55.237
So, when holly was getting dressed the other day,
00:22:55.303 --> 00:22:56.671
Dressed the other day, she put on this --
00:22:56.738 --> 00:22:57.572
She put on this -- this hoodie for can you imagine,
00:22:57.639 --> 00:23:00.175
This hoodie for can you imagine, and she was looking at it
00:23:00.242 --> 00:23:02.344
And she was looking at it in the mirror.
00:23:02.411 --> 00:23:03.812
In the mirror. and when she was looking at it,
00:23:03.879 --> 00:23:05.313
And when she was looking at it, she said, "is it backwards?"
00:23:05.380 --> 00:23:09.117
She said, "is it backwards?" and i said, "yeah."
00:23:09.184 --> 00:23:10.986
And i said, "yeah." and she said,
00:23:11.052 --> 00:23:11.753
And she said, "but i'm confused.
00:23:11.820 --> 00:23:12.587
"but i'm confused. oh yeah.
00:23:12.654 --> 00:23:13.989
Oh yeah. i'm looking at it
00:23:14.055 --> 00:23:15.657
I'm looking at it in the mirror."
00:23:15.724 --> 00:23:17.592
In the mirror." because on this hoodie,
00:23:17.659 --> 00:23:18.560
Because on this hoodie, can you see it?
00:23:18.627 --> 00:23:19.060
Can you see it? it's -- it's backwards.
00:23:19.127 --> 00:23:20.896
It's -- it's backwards. but when you get
00:23:20.962 --> 00:23:21.997
But when you get in front of a mirror...
00:23:22.063 --> 00:23:23.598
In front of a mirror... [applause]
00:23:23.665 --> 00:23:27.235
[applause] what does a mirror do?
00:23:27.302 --> 00:23:31.673
What does a mirror do? it reflects back whatever
00:23:31.740 --> 00:23:34.309
It reflects back whatever stands in front of it,
00:23:34.376 --> 00:23:36.611
Stands in front of it, but the light makes it
00:23:36.678 --> 00:23:38.880
But the light makes it reflects back backwards.
00:23:38.947 --> 00:23:42.784
Reflects back backwards. so, god says, "when you
00:23:42.851 --> 00:23:45.086
So, god says, "when you come in my presence,
00:23:45.153 --> 00:23:46.888
Come in my presence, when you receive
00:23:46.955 --> 00:23:48.223
When you receive a word from me,
00:23:48.290 --> 00:23:49.958
A word from me, when you stand before heaven,
00:23:50.025 --> 00:23:52.360
When you stand before heaven, you're not just looking
00:23:52.427 --> 00:23:53.628
You're not just looking at yourself,
00:23:53.695 --> 00:23:55.030
At yourself, you are looking at your
00:23:55.096 --> 00:23:56.598
You are looking at your father who is perfect.
00:23:56.665 --> 00:23:58.934
Father who is perfect. your father who spoke
00:23:59.000 --> 00:24:00.735
Your father who spoke a word over your life.
00:24:00.802 --> 00:24:02.938
A word over your life. before you were knit together,
00:24:03.004 --> 00:24:05.307
