00:00:16.202 --> 00:00:18.605
The connection because i noticed,

I noticed, and i want you to notice
00:00:19.339 --> 00:00:20.273
And i want you to notice how many times in this passage,
00:00:20.340 --> 00:00:21.775
How many times in this passage, acts 14,
00:00:21.841 --> 00:00:24.077
Acts 14, the word "they" appears.
00:00:24.144 --> 00:00:27.881
It says, "from attalia
00:00:27.981 --> 00:00:28.848
It says, "from attalia they sailed to antioch,"
00:00:28.915 --> 00:00:31.084
They sailed to antioch," they sailed to antioch,
00:00:31.151 --> 00:00:34.654
They sailed to antioch, "where they had been
00:00:34.721 --> 00:00:35.922
"where they had been committed to the grace
00:00:35.989 --> 00:00:36.856
Committed to the grace of god for the work
00:00:36.923 --> 00:00:38.525
Of god for the work they had now completed.
00:00:38.591 --> 00:00:41.494
They had now completed. on arriving there,
00:00:41.561 --> 00:00:42.429
On arriving there, they gathered the church
00:00:42.495 --> 00:00:44.164
They gathered the church together and reported all that
00:00:44.230 --> 00:00:46.299
Together and reported all that god had done through them."
00:00:46.366 --> 00:00:49.335
God had done through them." what god does
00:00:49.402 --> 00:00:49.969
Through you is,
00:00:50.070 --> 00:00:51.104
Through you is, a lot of times,
00:00:51.171 --> 00:00:52.138
A lot of times, determined by the "they"
00:00:52.205 --> 00:00:53.173
Determined by the "they" that you are connected to.
00:00:53.239 --> 00:00:56.743
That you are connected to. because if anybody could've
00:00:56.810 --> 00:00:57.944
Because if anybody could've done it alone,
00:00:58.011 --> 00:00:58.711
Done it alone, it would've been paul.
00:00:58.778 --> 00:01:01.114
It would've been paul. and for all of you who try to do
00:01:01.181 --> 00:01:02.248
And for all of you who try to do it alone in your own strength,
00:01:02.315 --> 00:01:04.751
It alone in your own strength, maybe you're a better christian
00:01:04.818 --> 00:01:07.554
Maybe you're a better christian than paul and jesus.
00:01:07.620 --> 00:01:10.990
Than paul and jesus. but the rest of us
00:01:11.057 --> 00:01:11.991
But the rest of us need a "they."
00:01:12.058 --> 00:01:14.127
Need a "they." and so, imagine they're picking.
00:01:14.194 --> 00:01:15.395
And so, imagine they're picking. like, "we gotta send
00:01:15.462 --> 00:01:16.262
Like, "we gotta send paul because he's learned,
00:01:16.329 --> 00:01:17.497
Paul because he's learned, and he's of the tribe
00:01:17.564 --> 00:01:18.264
And he's of the tribe of benjamin,
00:01:18.331 --> 00:01:18.832
Of benjamin, and he can really speak
00:01:18.898 --> 00:01:19.532
And he can really speak to the jews and the gentiles,
00:01:19.599 --> 00:01:20.700
To the jews and the gentiles, and he has a roman citizenship,
00:01:20.767 --> 00:01:22.135
And he has a roman citizenship, so he's very able to be
00:01:22.202 --> 00:01:24.204
So he's very able to be very fluent in both languages.
00:01:24.270 --> 00:01:27.006
Very fluent in both languages. not only the language
00:01:27.073 --> 00:01:27.907
Not only the language of faith in jesus
00:01:27.974 --> 00:01:28.942
Of faith in jesus but the language of judaism.
00:01:29.008 --> 00:01:30.276
But the language of judaism. and who should
00:01:30.343 --> 00:01:30.777
And who should we send with him?"
00:01:30.844 --> 00:01:33.713
We send with him?" barnabas.
00:01:33.780 --> 00:01:34.981
Barnabas. you said silas?
00:01:35.048 --> 00:01:36.082
You said silas? no, silas went to prison
00:01:36.149 --> 00:01:37.016
No, silas went to prison with him in '16.
00:01:37.083 --> 00:01:37.717
With him in '16. silas could sing,
00:01:37.784 --> 00:01:38.818
Silas could sing, but barnabas had
00:01:38.885 --> 00:01:39.919
But barnabas had a very special gift.
00:01:39.986 --> 00:01:41.387
A very special gift. his name means,
00:01:41.454 --> 00:01:42.388
His name means, "son of encouragement."
00:01:42.455 --> 00:01:45.758
"son of encouragement." now, does this say something
00:01:45.825 --> 00:01:47.093
Now, does this say something about what paul struggled
00:01:47.160 --> 00:01:48.328
About what paul struggled with that the one they sent
00:01:48.394 --> 00:01:50.597
With that the one they sent with him was one
00:01:50.663 --> 00:01:53.766
With him was one of these guys.
00:01:53.833 --> 00:01:54.734
[laughter]
00:01:55.235 --> 00:01:57.237
Now, look at your neighbor,
00:01:58.538 --> 00:01:59.439
Now, look at your neighbor, big smile, thumbs up,
00:01:59.506 --> 00:02:00.373
Big smile, thumbs up, and say,
00:02:00.440 --> 00:02:00.840
And say, "you need one of these guys."
00:02:00.907 --> 00:02:02.208
"you need one of these guys." >> congregation: you need
00:02:02.275 --> 00:02:02.742
>> congregation: you need one of these guys.
00:02:02.809 --> 00:02:04.210
One of these guys. >> you need a barnabas.
00:02:04.277 --> 00:02:06.613
>> you need a barnabas. they looked at paul,
00:02:06.679 --> 00:02:07.180
They looked at paul, "paul, you're a
00:02:07.247 --> 00:02:07.780
"paul, you're a powerful preacher,
00:02:07.847 --> 00:02:08.481
Powerful preacher, you're amazing preacher,
00:02:08.548 --> 00:02:09.449
You're amazing preacher, you're a man of god
00:02:09.516 --> 00:02:10.316
You're a man of god and you're anointed,
00:02:10.383 --> 00:02:11.017
And you're anointed, and you're called,
00:02:11.084 --> 00:02:11.851
And you're called, and you're chosen."
00:02:11.918 --> 00:02:12.986
And you're chosen." now, barnabas was not only
00:02:13.052 --> 00:02:14.754
Now, barnabas was not only an encourager,
00:02:14.821 --> 00:02:16.456
An encourager, but he was the one who brought
00:02:16.523 --> 00:02:18.191
But he was the one who brought paul into the fold
00:02:18.258 --> 00:02:19.092
Paul into the fold to begin with.
00:02:19.159 --> 00:02:20.860
To begin with. they were scared of paul.
00:02:20.927 --> 00:02:23.196
They were scared of paul. paul was the one who would go
00:02:23.263 --> 00:02:25.131
Paul was the one who would go and have the christians
00:02:25.198 --> 00:02:25.965
And have the christians executed before he became one.
00:02:26.032 --> 00:02:28.568
Executed before he became one. before the lord smacked
00:02:28.635 --> 00:02:29.335
Before the lord smacked him right off his beast
00:02:29.402 --> 00:02:30.770
Him right off his beast and told him,
00:02:30.837 --> 00:02:31.371
And told him, "i'm jesus of nazareth.
00:02:31.437 --> 00:02:32.772
"i'm jesus of nazareth. who do you think
00:02:32.839 --> 00:02:33.339
Who do you think you're messing with?
00:02:33.406 --> 00:02:34.974
You're messing with? i'm about to show you how much
00:02:35.041 --> 00:02:36.075
I'm about to show you how much you must suffer for my sake
00:02:36.142 --> 00:02:37.644
You must suffer for my sake 'cause you're my vessel."
00:02:37.710 --> 00:02:39.546
'cause you're my vessel." that's where paul was,
00:02:39.612 --> 00:02:40.580
That's where paul was, and the people were like,
00:02:40.647 --> 00:02:41.514
And the people were like, "you want us to have
00:02:41.581 --> 00:02:43.349
"you want us to have the guy that was --
00:02:43.416 --> 00:02:44.384
The guy that was -- the terrorist on our team?"
00:02:44.450 --> 00:02:46.419
The terrorist on our team?" and barnabas is like,
00:02:46.486 --> 00:02:47.554
And barnabas is like, "yeah, he's changed.
00:02:47.620 --> 00:02:49.088
"yeah, he's changed. let's give him a chance."
00:02:49.155 --> 00:02:50.857
Let's give him a chance." thank god for barnabas.
00:02:50.924 --> 00:02:51.824
[laughter]
00:02:52.292 --> 00:02:53.593
Barnabas was hope-thetical.
00:02:54.227 --> 00:02:56.296
Barnabas was hope-thetical. barnabas was optimistic.
00:02:56.362 --> 00:02:58.665
Barnabas was optimistic. barnabas was able
00:02:58.731 --> 00:02:59.632
Barnabas was able to see the best in paul.
00:02:59.699 --> 00:03:00.967
To see the best in paul. he was able to see
00:03:01.034 --> 00:03:01.668
He was able to see the paul in saul.
00:03:01.734 --> 00:03:03.870
The paul in saul. so, i want to talk about
00:03:03.937 --> 00:03:06.206
So, i want to talk about your connections today
00:03:06.272 --> 00:03:08.308
Your connections today because the fact that
00:03:08.374 --> 00:03:09.642
Because the fact that they made it through everything
00:03:09.709 --> 00:03:10.877
They made it through everything they made it through was
00:03:10.944 --> 00:03:12.612
They made it through was the fact that
00:03:12.679 --> 00:03:13.379
The fact that they were they.
00:03:13.446 --> 00:03:14.881
They were they. i believe the reason that
00:03:14.948 --> 00:03:16.182
I believe the reason that the devil doesn't leave
00:03:16.249 --> 00:03:17.083
The devil doesn't leave your life a lot of times
00:03:17.150 --> 00:03:19.219
Your life a lot of times is 'cause you try
00:03:19.285 --> 00:03:19.986
Is 'cause you try to run him off alone.
00:03:20.053 --> 00:03:22.689
To run him off alone. and there comes a point
00:03:22.755 --> 00:03:24.524
And there comes a point where you can't fight this
00:03:24.591 --> 00:03:25.892
Where you can't fight this in your own head.
00:03:25.959 --> 00:03:27.727
In your own head. there comes a point where you
00:03:27.794 --> 00:03:28.828
There comes a point where you can't fight this
00:03:28.895 --> 00:03:30.029
Can't fight this with your own personality.
00:03:30.096 --> 00:03:32.298
With your own personality. if you could've gotten
00:03:32.365 --> 00:03:33.499
If you could've gotten you out of this,
00:03:33.566 --> 00:03:34.334
You out of this, you'd be out by now.
00:03:34.400 --> 00:03:36.469
You'd be out by now. so, what you still doing here?
00:03:36.536 --> 00:03:38.404
So, what you still doing here? maybe you are waiting
00:03:38.471 --> 00:03:39.772
Maybe you are waiting on the right connection.
00:03:39.839 --> 00:03:41.674
On the right connection. and perhaps, the reason that
00:03:41.741 --> 00:03:43.309
And perhaps, the reason that we feed some of our insecurities
00:03:43.376 --> 00:03:45.111
We feed some of our insecurities sometimes is because we stay
00:03:45.178 --> 00:03:47.580
Sometimes is because we stay in isolation where there
00:03:47.647 --> 00:03:49.382
In isolation where there is nothing to prove anything
00:03:49.449 --> 00:03:50.950
Is nothing to prove anything other to us than the words
00:03:51.017 --> 00:03:52.852
Other to us than the words that the devil is speaking.
00:03:52.919 --> 00:03:54.587
That the devil is speaking. and so, it's important,
00:03:54.654 --> 00:03:55.955
And so, it's important, and i need to slow down
00:03:56.022 --> 00:03:56.889
And i need to slow down on this a little bit,
00:03:56.956 --> 00:03:57.924
On this a little bit, that the lord told me
00:03:57.991 --> 00:03:58.925
That the lord told me to tell you that there may be
00:03:58.992 --> 00:04:01.127
To tell you that there may be a barnabas that you are missing
00:04:01.194 --> 00:04:03.029
A barnabas that you are missing in your life that
00:04:03.096 --> 00:04:05.565
In your life that is causing you to remain
00:04:05.632 --> 00:04:06.933
Is causing you to remain stuck in the loop that
00:04:07.000 --> 00:04:09.335
Stuck in the loop that the devil has you in.
00:04:09.402 --> 00:04:11.704
The devil has you in. there may be.
00:04:11.771 --> 00:04:13.373
There may be. and there may be some people in
00:04:13.439 --> 00:04:16.009
And there may be some people in your life who are
00:04:16.075 --> 00:04:17.877
Your life who are the opposite of barnabas.
00:04:17.944 --> 00:04:21.581
Some people in your life
00:04:21.681 --> 00:04:23.583
Some people in your life who really aren't headed
00:04:23.650 --> 00:04:24.584
Who really aren't headed where you're headed.
00:04:24.651 --> 00:04:27.587
Where you're headed. and i would, kinda,
00:04:27.654 --> 00:04:29.522
And i would, kinda, like to refer you back
00:04:29.589 --> 00:04:30.290
Like to refer you back to my title.
00:04:30.356 --> 00:04:31.224
To my title. you may need to send them a text
00:04:31.291 --> 00:04:32.659
You may need to send them a text right now and just to send them,
00:04:32.725 --> 00:04:34.494
"i'm listening to a sermon.
00:04:34.594 --> 00:04:35.595
"i'm listening to a sermon. let me show you the door."
00:04:35.662 --> 00:04:36.763
[laughter]
00:04:37.130 --> 00:04:39.299
And that would be code
00:04:39.832 --> 00:04:40.433
And that would be code for you to have the conversation
00:04:40.500 --> 00:04:41.601
For you to have the conversation that you need to have.
00:04:41.668 --> 00:04:43.269
That you need to have. because you cannot fulfil
00:04:43.336 --> 00:04:45.905
Because you cannot fulfil a paul sized mission without
00:04:45.972 --> 00:04:48.975
A paul sized mission without a barnabas sized encouragement.
00:04:49.042 --> 00:04:54.414
A barnabas sized encouragement. and sometimes it will
00:04:54.480 --> 00:04:57.383
And sometimes it will be a byob situation.
00:04:57.450 --> 00:05:01.621
Be a byob situation. that stands for
00:05:01.688 --> 00:05:02.722
That stands for "be your own barnabas."
00:05:02.789 --> 00:05:06.225
"be your own barnabas." sometimes the people that
00:05:06.292 --> 00:05:07.727
Sometimes the people that you need to encourage you,
00:05:07.794 --> 00:05:09.696
You need to encourage you, they're having a bad week too.
00:05:09.762 --> 00:05:11.798
They're having a bad week too. guess what?
00:05:11.864 --> 00:05:12.765
Guess what? maybe you need
00:05:12.832 --> 00:05:13.433
Maybe you need to do what david said.
00:05:13.499 --> 00:05:15.335
To do what david said. david said,
00:05:15.401 --> 00:05:16.102
David said, "i encourage myself
00:05:16.169 --> 00:05:17.637
"i encourage myself in the lord.
00:05:17.704 --> 00:05:19.072

"oh, i need to get to church. oh, i need to get around

Be my barnabas for a minute in the illustration.
00:06:27.907 --> 00:06:31.244
In the illustration. remember i told you
00:06:31.310 --> 00:06:32.612
Remember i told you paul and barnabas,
00:06:32.678 --> 00:06:33.446
Paul and barnabas, go back to verse 26,
00:06:33.513 --> 00:06:34.781
Go back to verse 26, show 'em in the text.
00:06:34.847 --> 00:06:35.782
It says,
00:06:35.882 --> 00:06:36.449
It says, "they went from attalia
00:06:36.516 --> 00:06:38.918
"they went from attalia to antioch,"
00:06:38.985 --> 00:06:40.219
To antioch," which is not like going
00:06:40.286 --> 00:06:41.254
From marvin to ballantyne.
00:06:41.354 --> 00:06:43.556
From marvin to ballantyne. this is a 300 mile trip
00:06:43.623 --> 00:06:45.024
This is a 300 mile trip and they --
00:06:45.091 --> 00:06:45.591
And they -- remember i told you they've
00:06:45.658 --> 00:06:46.592
Remember i told you they've already been 1,200 miles,
00:06:46.659 --> 00:06:49.729
Already been 1,200 miles, 12 months.
00:06:49.796 --> 00:06:51.063
12 months. and now they have a decision
00:06:51.130 --> 00:06:52.365
And now they have a decision to make on the way back because
00:06:52.432 --> 00:06:53.433
To make on the way back because they have to give a report
00:06:53.499 --> 00:06:54.167
They have to give a report to the church how it went.
00:06:54.233 --> 00:06:56.502
To the church how it went. and the part that i didn't read
00:06:56.569 --> 00:06:57.737
And the part that i didn't read you was everything that happened
00:06:57.804 --> 00:06:59.839
You was everything that happened before acts 14:26-28.
00:06:59.906 --> 00:07:02.942
Before acts 14:26-28. kinda like i didn't read you
00:07:03.009 --> 00:07:04.043
Kinda like i didn't read you how jesus fasted 40 days
00:07:04.110 --> 00:07:05.812
How jesus fasted 40 days before the devil left.
00:07:05.878 --> 00:07:06.846
Before the devil left. i just got straight to the part,
00:07:06.913 --> 00:07:08.080
I just got straight to the part, "the devil left,"
00:07:08.147 --> 00:07:09.682
"the devil left," and i was hoping
00:07:09.749 --> 00:07:10.283
And i was hoping you would shout,
00:07:10.349 --> 00:07:11.350
You would shout, but you didn't even
00:07:11.417 --> 00:07:11.951
But you didn't even shout about that,
00:07:12.018 --> 00:07:12.685
Shout about that, so i know you're not
00:07:12.752 --> 00:07:13.319
So i know you're not gonna shout about this.
00:07:13.386 --> 00:07:14.821
Gonna shout about this. and the angels came,
00:07:14.887 --> 00:07:15.822
And the angels came, and that's exciting,
00:07:15.888 --> 00:07:16.789
And we all wanna get there.
00:07:16.889 --> 00:07:18.825
And we all wanna get there. but realize if we put ourself
00:07:18.891 --> 00:07:20.626
But realize if we put ourself in the historical context
00:07:20.693 --> 00:07:21.761
In the historical context of this passage that paul
00:07:21.828 --> 00:07:24.263
Of this passage that paul and barnabas have 300 miles
00:07:24.330 --> 00:07:26.632
And barnabas have 300 miles to travel and they
00:07:26.699 --> 00:07:27.533
To travel and they have to figure out,
00:07:27.600 --> 00:07:28.968
Have to figure out, "what are we going
00:07:29.035 --> 00:07:29.769
To tell them when
00:07:29.869 --> 00:07:31.270
To tell them when we get back?"
00:07:31.337 --> 00:07:33.139
We get back?" and you know, barnabas was
00:07:33.206 --> 00:07:34.207
And you know, barnabas was probably keeping good notes
00:07:34.273 --> 00:07:35.641
Probably keeping good notes and stuff like that 'cause
00:07:35.708 --> 00:07:37.143
And stuff like that 'cause paul was the who
00:07:37.210 --> 00:07:37.910
Paul was the who was mostly talking.
00:07:37.977 --> 00:07:39.512
Was mostly talking. and so, they have 300 miles
00:07:39.579 --> 00:07:40.913
And so, they have 300 miles to figure out together.
00:07:40.980 --> 00:07:42.615
To figure out together. when we stand in front
00:07:42.682 --> 00:07:43.549
When we stand in front of the church that sent us,
00:07:43.616 --> 00:07:44.684
Of the church that sent us, when we get back to antioch,
00:07:44.750 --> 00:07:46.919
When we get back to antioch, what will we report?
00:07:46.986 --> 00:07:49.055
What will we report? and i'm not saying that paul
00:07:49.121 --> 00:07:50.156
And i'm not saying that paul was a pessimist because
00:07:50.223 --> 00:07:51.190
Was a pessimist because i don't believe he was.
00:07:51.257 --> 00:07:52.625
I don't believe he was. he wrote amazing verses like,
00:07:52.692 --> 00:07:54.227
He wrote amazing verses like, "i can do all things through
00:07:54.293 --> 00:07:55.228
"i can do all things through christ who strengthens me.
00:07:55.294 --> 00:07:56.996
Christ who strengthens me. and now unto him who is able
00:07:57.063 --> 00:07:58.965
And now unto him who is able to do immeasurably more."
00:07:59.031 --> 00:08:00.466
To do immeasurably more." so, i am not throwing
00:08:00.533 --> 00:08:01.767
So, i am not throwing paul under the bus.
00:08:01.834 --> 00:08:03.336
Paul under the bus. but barnabas?
00:08:03.402 --> 00:08:05.705
But barnabas? barnabas had the gift
00:08:05.771 --> 00:08:06.772
Barnabas had the gift of encouragement.
00:08:06.839 --> 00:08:08.508
Of encouragement. and so, i think while
00:08:08.574 --> 00:08:09.509
And so, i think while they were going back,
00:08:09.575 --> 00:08:10.510
They were going back, they were probably going through
00:08:10.576 --> 00:08:11.644
They were probably going through their log of everything
00:08:11.711 --> 00:08:12.745
Their log of everything that happened over
00:08:12.812 --> 00:08:13.579
That happened over the next 12 months.
00:08:13.646 --> 00:08:14.914
The next 12 months. "okay, what are we
00:08:14.981 --> 00:08:16.582
"okay, what are we gonna tell 'em when
00:08:16.649 --> 00:08:17.149
Gonna tell 'em when we get there, barnabas?"
00:08:17.216 --> 00:08:18.251
We get there, barnabas?" and they're going through their
00:08:18.317 --> 00:08:19.886
And they're going through their notes because how do you
00:08:19.952 --> 00:08:21.254
Notes because how do you condense 12 months
00:08:21.320 --> 00:08:22.288
Condense 12 months into one talk?
00:08:22.355 --> 00:08:23.055
Into one talk? 'cause it said,
00:08:23.122 --> 00:08:23.489
'cause it said, "they gathered the church
00:08:23.556 --> 00:08:24.390
"they gathered the church together and told them."
00:08:24.457 --> 00:08:26.626
Together and told them." i imagine the first place
00:08:26.692 --> 00:08:28.761
I imagine the first place they realized they had
00:08:28.828 --> 00:08:29.495
They realized they had to talk about was cyprus.
00:08:29.562 --> 00:08:32.265
To talk about was cyprus. when they got to cyprus,
00:08:32.331 --> 00:08:33.466
When they got to cyprus, the island called cyprus,
00:08:33.533 --> 00:08:35.468
The island called cyprus, that's in acts 13.
00:08:35.535 --> 00:08:37.803
That's in acts 13. and while they were there,
00:08:37.870 --> 00:08:38.604
And while they were there, god was using them.
00:08:38.671 --> 00:08:40.773
God was using them. and paul's like,
00:08:40.840 --> 00:08:43.409
And paul's like, "you remember that guy,
00:08:43.476 --> 00:08:45.344
"you remember that guy, that sorcerer in cyprus?"
00:08:45.411 --> 00:08:48.147
That sorcerer in cyprus?" and barnabas is like, "yeah."
00:08:48.214 --> 00:08:50.116
And barnabas is like, "yeah." "yeah, what was his name again?"
00:08:50.182 --> 00:08:52.184
"yeah, what was his name again?" and paul's like,
00:08:52.251 --> 00:08:52.818
And paul's like, "oh, i'll never
00:08:52.885 --> 00:08:53.352
"oh, i'll never forget his name.
00:08:53.419 --> 00:08:54.120
Forget his name. elymas.
00:08:54.186 --> 00:08:56.322
Elymas. elymas."
00:08:56.389 --> 00:08:57.924
Elymas." his name literally
00:08:57.990 --> 00:08:58.658
His name literally means sorcerer.
00:08:58.724 --> 00:09:00.326
Means sorcerer. barnabas is like,
00:09:00.393 --> 00:09:00.927
Barnabas is like, "oh yeah, i remember now.
00:09:00.993 --> 00:09:01.928
"oh yeah, i remember now. elymas."
00:09:01.994 --> 00:09:03.462
Elymas." yeah, even barnabas couldn't
00:09:03.529 --> 00:09:04.730
Yeah, even barnabas couldn't see much good in elymas.
00:09:04.797 --> 00:09:05.965
See much good in elymas. he's like,
00:09:06.032 --> 00:09:06.499
He's like, "yeah, he was a bad dude.
00:09:06.566 --> 00:09:09.068
"yeah, he was a bad dude. 'cause right when we were going
00:09:09.135 --> 00:09:10.269
'cause right when we were going to have an audience with
00:09:10.336 --> 00:09:11.203
To have an audience with the governor of that city,
00:09:11.270 --> 00:09:14.140
The governor of that city, elymas started trying
00:09:14.206 --> 00:09:15.241
Elymas started trying to interrupt us
00:09:15.308 --> 00:09:16.042
To interrupt us and distract from jesus.
00:09:16.108 --> 00:09:18.244
And distract from jesus. and just when it looked like we
00:09:18.311 --> 00:09:19.412
And just when it looked like we were going to make progress
00:09:19.478 --> 00:09:20.613
Were going to make progress with a very important governor,
00:09:20.680 --> 00:09:22.915
With a very important governor, elymas stood up
00:09:22.982 --> 00:09:23.883
Elymas stood up and distracted him."
00:09:23.950 --> 00:09:25.217
And distracted him." and paul's like,
00:09:25.284 --> 00:09:25.818
And paul's like, "yeah, that guy,
00:09:25.885 --> 00:09:26.786
"yeah, that guy, he got on my nerves.
00:09:26.852 --> 00:09:27.954
He got on my nerves. i hate elymas.
00:09:28.020 --> 00:09:29.021
I hate elymas. if i ever see elymas again,
00:09:29.088 --> 00:09:30.623
If i ever see elymas again, i'mma tell him," --
00:09:30.690 --> 00:09:31.591
I'mma tell him," -- and barnabas is like,
00:09:31.657 --> 00:09:32.291
And barnabas is like, "well, wait now paul.
00:09:32.358 --> 00:09:34.226
"well, wait now paul. do you remember what
00:09:34.293 --> 00:09:34.860
Do you remember what you said to him?"
00:09:34.927 --> 00:09:36.529
You said to him?" and paul's like, "kind of."
00:09:36.596 --> 00:09:38.364
And paul's like, "kind of." and barnabas goes,
00:09:38.431 --> 00:09:39.131
And barnabas goes, "i got it written right here."
00:09:39.198 --> 00:09:40.933
"i got it written right here." now, put up acts 13:8.
00:09:41.000 --> 00:09:42.702
Look what happened.
00:09:42.802 --> 00:09:43.603
Look what happened. "but elymas, the sorcerer,
00:09:43.669 --> 00:09:46.439
"but elymas, the sorcerer, for that is what his name means,
00:09:46.505 --> 00:09:47.740
For that is what his name means, opposed them and tried to turn
00:09:47.807 --> 00:09:50.576
Opposed them and tried to turn the governor from the faith."
00:09:50.643 --> 00:09:52.612
The governor from the faith." he was about to receive jesus,
00:09:52.678 --> 00:09:54.246
He was about to receive jesus, which would have been a major
00:09:54.313 --> 00:09:56.315
Open door for the gospel
00:09:56.415 --> 00:09:57.817
Open door for the gospel of jesus christ.
00:09:57.883 --> 00:09:59.151
Of jesus christ. he was a gentile
00:09:59.218 --> 00:10:00.586
He was a gentile and he was a governor.
00:10:00.653 --> 00:10:02.054
And he was a governor. and remember right on the verge
00:10:02.121 --> 00:10:03.956
And remember right on the verge of god doing something
00:10:04.023 --> 00:10:05.024
Of god doing something amazing in your life,
00:10:05.091 --> 00:10:06.492
Amazing in your life, right when you are
00:10:06.559 --> 00:10:07.560
Right when you are at the threshold of it,
00:10:07.627 --> 00:10:09.161
Right when you are at
00:10:09.261 --> 00:10:10.262
Right when you are at the doorframe of it,
00:10:10.329 --> 00:10:11.364
The doorframe of it, anybody there right now?
00:10:11.430 --> 00:10:12.565
Anybody there right now? there will be a devil.
00:10:12.632 --> 00:10:15.835
There will be a devil. the devil doesn't mean
00:10:15.901 --> 00:10:17.069
The devil doesn't mean the door wasn't real.
00:10:17.136 --> 00:10:19.071
The door wasn't real. the devil doesn't mean god
00:10:19.138 --> 00:10:20.573
The devil doesn't mean god wasn't in it.
00:10:20.640 --> 00:10:22.408
The devil at the door might
00:10:22.508 --> 00:10:23.843
The devil at the door might mean you are headed in the right
00:10:23.909 --> 00:10:25.478
Mean you are headed in the right direction and he's trying
00:10:25.544 --> 00:10:27.013
Direction and he's trying to get you to turn around.
00:10:27.079 --> 00:10:28.447
[applause]
00:10:28.848 --> 00:10:32.785
And barnabas says,
00:10:33.185 --> 00:10:34.020
And barnabas says, "paul you looked at elymas,"
00:10:34.086 --> 00:10:35.988
"paul you looked at elymas," and i quote verse 9,
00:10:36.055 --> 00:10:37.189
And i quote verse 9, "and told him," --
00:10:37.256 --> 00:10:40.059
"and told him," -- oh verse 10.
00:10:40.126 --> 00:10:42.561
"you are a child of the devil
00:10:42.662 --> 00:10:45.231
"you are a child of the devil and an enemy of everything
00:10:45.297 --> 00:10:46.732
And an enemy of everything that is right.
00:10:46.799 --> 00:10:48.167
That is right. you are full of all
00:10:48.234 --> 00:10:49.168
You are full of all kinds of deceit.
00:10:49.235 --> 00:10:50.503
Kinds of deceit. will you never stop perverting
00:10:50.569 --> 00:10:52.004
Will you never stop perverting the ways of the lord?"
00:10:52.071 --> 00:10:53.105
The ways of the lord?" and paul's like,
00:10:53.172 --> 00:10:53.639
"i said all that?"
00:10:53.739 --> 00:10:54.440
"i said all that?" he's like,
00:10:54.507 --> 00:10:54.840
He's like, "yeah, you said all that.
00:10:54.907 --> 00:10:55.875
"yeah, you said all that. you called him a child
00:10:55.941 --> 00:10:57.076
You called him a child of the devil.
00:10:57.143 --> 00:10:58.010
Of the devil. it was, kind of, mean paul,"
00:10:58.077 --> 00:10:59.078
It was, kind of, mean paul," but it was the perfect
00:10:59.145 --> 00:11:00.312
But it was the perfect comeback for the situation
00:11:00.379 --> 00:11:01.947
Comeback for the situation 'cause watch what god
00:11:02.014 --> 00:11:02.948
'cause watch what god did in verse 11.
00:11:03.015 --> 00:11:04.216
Did in verse 11. then suddenly after
00:11:04.283 --> 00:11:05.685
Then suddenly after paul spoke up,
00:11:05.751 --> 00:11:06.752
Paul spoke up, suddenly after paul
00:11:06.819 --> 00:11:07.920
Suddenly after paul confronted the opposition,
00:11:07.987 --> 00:11:09.288
Confronted the opposition, suddenly after paul refused
00:11:09.355 --> 00:11:11.524
Suddenly after paul refused to let the devil block his door.
00:11:11.590 --> 00:11:13.793
To let the devil block his door. i'm looking for somebody today
00:11:13.859 --> 00:11:15.294
I'm looking for somebody today who refuses to let
00:11:15.361 --> 00:11:16.295
Who refuses to let the devil have this one.
00:11:16.362 --> 00:11:17.697
[applause]
00:11:18.064 --> 00:11:18.831
He said,
00:11:19.198 --> 00:11:19.532
He said, "the hand of the lord
00:11:19.598 --> 00:11:20.366
"the hand of the lord is against you,
00:11:20.433 --> 00:11:21.567
Is against you, you're gonna
00:11:21.634 --> 00:11:22.034
You're gonna be blind for a time,
00:11:22.101 --> 00:11:22.868
Be blind for a time, not even able to see
00:11:22.935 --> 00:11:24.070
Not even able to see the light of the sun.
00:11:24.136 --> 00:11:25.037
The light of the sun. and immediately mist
00:11:25.104 --> 00:11:25.905
And immediately mist and darkness came over him
00:11:25.971 --> 00:11:27.373
And darkness came over him and he groped about
00:11:27.440 --> 00:11:28.040
And he groped about seeking someone to lead
00:11:28.107 --> 00:11:29.208
Seeking someone to lead him by the hand."
00:11:29.275 --> 00:11:30.543
And look what happened
00:11:30.643 --> 00:11:31.210
In verse 12.
00:11:31.310 --> 00:11:32.278
In verse 12. barnabas said,
00:11:32.344 --> 00:11:32.912
Barnabas said, "and when the proconsul
00:11:32.978 --> 00:11:34.146
"and when the proconsul saw what had happened,
00:11:34.213 --> 00:11:35.281
Saw what had happened, he believed for he was amazed
00:11:35.347 --> 00:11:36.849
He believed for he was amazed at the teaching about the lord."
00:11:36.916 --> 00:11:39.885
At the teaching about the lord." so, maybe when we get
00:11:39.952 --> 00:11:42.455
To antioch in a few days,
00:11:42.555 --> 00:11:45.658
To antioch in a few days, we'll tell them about
00:11:45.725 --> 00:11:46.425
We'll tell them about the sorcerer at cyprus,
00:11:46.492 --> 00:11:49.528
The sorcerer at cyprus, and we'll tell 'em how
00:11:49.595 --> 00:11:50.229
And we'll tell 'em how we faced resistance.
00:11:50.296 --> 00:11:52.398
We faced resistance. but we'll tell 'em that
00:11:52.465 --> 00:11:53.332
But we'll tell 'em that after the resistance
00:11:53.399 --> 00:11:54.934
After the resistance came a revelation.
00:11:55.000 --> 00:11:59.438
Came a revelation. after the resistance,
00:11:59.505 --> 00:12:01.741
After the resistance, came a revelation.
00:12:01.807 --> 00:12:04.243
Came a revelation. yeah.
00:12:04.310 --> 00:12:04.810
Yeah. paul said, "we're gonna tell
00:12:04.877 --> 00:12:05.878
Paul said, "we're gonna tell 'em about the sorcerer."
00:12:05.945 --> 00:12:07.379
'em about the sorcerer." and barnabas said,
00:12:07.446 --> 00:12:08.981
And barnabas said, "yeah, but we got to make sure
00:12:09.048 --> 00:12:09.982
"yeah, but we got to make sure to tell him that if the sorcerer
00:12:10.049 --> 00:12:11.951
To tell him that if the sorcerer wouldn't have
00:12:12.017 --> 00:12:12.585
Wouldn't have been struck blind,
00:12:12.651 --> 00:12:13.986
Been struck blind, the governor wouldn't
00:12:14.053 --> 00:12:14.720
The governor wouldn't have seen jesus.
00:12:14.787 --> 00:12:18.057
Have seen jesus. let me show you the door.
00:12:18.124 --> 00:12:21.627
Let me show you the door. the resistance was the starting
00:12:21.694 --> 00:12:24.263
The resistance was the starting place of the revelation.
00:12:24.330 --> 00:12:26.632
Place of the revelation. now what resistance?
00:12:26.699 --> 00:12:28.367
Now what resistance? you okay being up here with me?
00:12:28.434 --> 00:12:30.102
You okay being up here with me? i didn't check with you,
00:12:30.169 --> 00:12:30.770
I didn't check with you, tell you,
00:12:30.836 --> 00:12:31.337
Tell you, you didn't get to choose
00:12:31.403 --> 00:12:31.971
You didn't get to choose what to wear to be on stage
00:12:32.037 --> 00:12:32.938
What to wear to be on stage or nothing like that,
00:12:33.005 --> 00:12:33.639
Or nothing like that, but you're doing great.
00:12:33.706 --> 00:12:34.173
[laughter]
00:12:34.774 --> 00:12:36.976
Imagine this,
00:12:37.376 --> 00:12:38.611
Imagine this, that the resistance that
00:12:38.677 --> 00:12:39.779
That the resistance that you're facing in your life
00:12:39.845 --> 00:12:40.813
You're facing in your life right now might
00:12:40.880 --> 00:12:42.448
Right now might be the door to a revelation
00:12:42.515 --> 00:12:44.150
Be the door to a revelation of how great god is.
00:12:44.216 --> 00:12:46.452
Of how great god is. maybe, maybe.
00:12:46.519 --> 00:12:49.455
Maybe, maybe. let me show you the door.
00:12:49.522 --> 00:12:52.424
Let me show you the door. you want god to take
00:12:52.491 --> 00:12:53.125
You want god to take the resistance away while
00:12:53.192 --> 00:12:54.093
The resistance away while you're simultaneously praying
00:12:54.160 --> 00:12:55.227
You're simultaneously praying for him to make you strong?
00:12:55.294 --> 00:12:58.063
For him to make you strong? how will he make you strong
00:12:58.130 --> 00:13:00.132
How will he make you strong with no resistance?
00:13:00.199 --> 00:13:02.434
With no resistance? how will he show you who
00:13:02.501 --> 00:13:03.402
How will he show you who he is if he doesn't let
00:13:03.469 --> 00:13:04.303
He is if he doesn't let you find out who
00:13:04.370 --> 00:13:04.970
You find out who you're not without him?
00:13:05.037 --> 00:13:07.273
[applause]
00:13:07.973 --> 00:13:10.442
Remember that, paul?
00:13:10.810 --> 00:13:11.544
Remember that, paul? when you looked at him and said,
00:13:11.610 --> 00:13:12.545
When you looked at him and said, "you child of the devil,"
00:13:12.611 --> 00:13:14.680
"you child of the devil," that was the perfect comeback.
00:13:14.747 --> 00:13:17.449
That was the perfect comeback. so when we get back
00:13:17.516 --> 00:13:19.552
So when we get back and we get to antioch,
00:13:19.618 --> 00:13:21.387
And we get to antioch, and we're in front
00:13:21.453 --> 00:13:21.954
And we're in front of the church council,
00:13:22.021 --> 00:13:23.389
Of the church council, let's make sure that we
00:13:23.455 --> 00:13:24.123
Let's make sure that we tell 'em that there was
00:13:24.190 --> 00:13:24.990
Tell 'em that there was resistance but it led
00:13:25.057 --> 00:13:26.859
Resistance but it led to revelation.
00:13:26.926 --> 00:13:29.328
To revelation. and then --
00:13:29.395 --> 00:13:30.763
And then -- and then we should tell 'em
00:13:30.830 --> 00:13:32.464
And then we should tell 'em about the pettiness in pisidia.
00:13:32.531 --> 00:13:35.901
About the pettiness in pisidia. i like to alliterate it because
00:13:35.968 --> 00:13:37.269
I like to alliterate it because i believe paul would have done
00:13:37.336 --> 00:13:38.170
I believe paul would have done that, don't you?
00:13:38.237 --> 00:13:39.305
That, don't you? and paul said,
00:13:39.371 --> 00:13:40.172
And paul said, "we gotta tell 'em how
00:13:40.239 --> 00:13:41.407
"we gotta tell 'em how when we got to pisidia,
00:13:41.473 --> 00:13:43.542
When we got to pisidia, there was so much pettiness
00:13:43.609 --> 00:13:45.711
There was so much pettiness that these jews who were jealous
00:13:45.778 --> 00:13:47.513
That these jews who were jealous started trying to stir
00:13:47.580 --> 00:13:48.714
Started trying to stir up trouble."
00:13:48.781 --> 00:13:49.982
Up trouble." and barnabas is like,
00:13:50.049 --> 00:13:50.783
And barnabas is like, "yeah but paul,
00:13:50.850 --> 00:13:51.550
"yeah but paul, you handled it great, man.
00:13:51.617 --> 00:13:56.055
You handled it great, man. you handled that so good.
00:13:56.121 --> 00:13:58.557
You handled that so good. when they were trying to stir up
00:13:58.624 --> 00:13:59.792
When they were trying to stir up trouble against you
00:13:59.859 --> 00:14:00.926
Trouble against you and they rejected you,
00:14:00.993 --> 00:14:02.261
And they rejected you, do you remember
00:14:02.328 --> 00:14:02.795
Do you remember what you said, paul?"
00:14:02.862 --> 00:14:04.196
What you said, paul?" and paul's like,
00:14:04.263 --> 00:14:04.730
And paul's like, "well yeah, kind of.
00:14:04.797 --> 00:14:06.232
"well yeah, kind of. but tell me about it."
00:14:06.298 --> 00:14:07.700
But tell me about it." and barnabas goes,
00:14:07.766 --> 00:14:08.434
"oh yeah,
00:14:08.534 --> 00:14:08.868
"oh yeah, well, i wrote it down."
00:14:08.934 --> 00:14:09.935
Well, i wrote it down." look at acts 13:44.
00:14:10.002 --> 00:14:13.072
Look at acts 13:44. isn't this good, babe?
00:14:13.138 --> 00:14:14.240
Isn't this good, babe? because i'm trying to get you
00:14:14.306 --> 00:14:15.474
Because i'm trying to get you to see that what the devil
00:14:15.541 --> 00:14:17.209
To see that what the devil is telling you tells me
00:14:17.276 --> 00:14:18.644
Is telling you tells me something about where god
00:14:18.711 --> 00:14:19.578
Something about where god is taking you.
00:14:19.645 --> 00:14:21.847
Is taking you. and i want you to get your stack

With your barnabas, whether the barnabas
00:14:29.121 --> 00:14:30.055
Whether the barnabas is a friend,
00:14:30.122 --> 00:14:30.890
Is a friend, whether the barnabas
00:14:30.956 --> 00:14:31.824
Whether the barnabas is this sermon
00:14:31.891 --> 00:14:32.424
Is this sermon because you're watching
00:14:32.491 --> 00:14:33.292
Because you're watching it alone on youtube,
00:14:33.359 --> 00:14:34.326
It alone on youtube, whether the barnabas
00:14:34.393 --> 00:14:35.461
Whether the barnabas is your own spirit
00:14:35.527 --> 00:14:36.929
Is your own spirit because you've been consulting
00:14:36.996 --> 00:14:37.897
Because you've been consulting your flesh too long,
00:14:37.963 --> 00:14:39.565
Your flesh too long, and your feelings too long,
00:14:39.632 --> 00:14:41.066
And your feelings too long, and your past too long,
00:14:41.133 --> 00:14:42.501
And your past too long, but greater is he
00:14:42.568 --> 00:14:43.602
But greater is he that is in you
00:14:43.669 --> 00:14:44.470
That is in you than he that is in the world.

We got to pisidia, we were preaching, man.
00:14:52.778 --> 00:14:53.979
We were preaching, man. it was amazing.

00:14:59.451 --> 00:15:01.120
"on the next sabbath,
00:15:01.220 --> 00:15:02.154
"on the next sabbath, the whole city gathered
00:15:02.221 --> 00:15:03.722
The whole city gathered to hear the word of the lord."
00:15:03.789 --> 00:15:04.823
To hear the word of the lord." and paul,
00:15:04.890 --> 00:15:05.257
And paul, you were preaching, man.
00:15:05.324 --> 00:15:06.358
You were preaching, man. "and the jews saw the crowds,
00:15:06.425 --> 00:15:07.426
"and the jews saw the crowds, and they were filled
00:15:07.493 --> 00:15:08.093
And they were filled with jealousy,
00:15:08.160 --> 00:15:08.827
With jealousy, and they began to contradict
00:15:08.894 --> 00:15:10.262
And they began to contradict what you were saying,
00:15:10.329 --> 00:15:11.563
What you were saying, and they heaped abuse on you."
00:15:11.630 --> 00:15:14.366
And they heaped abuse on you." they said things about you
00:15:14.433 --> 00:15:15.367
They said things about you that weren't true man."
00:15:15.434 --> 00:15:17.269
This is barnabas talking.
00:15:17.369 --> 00:15:19.672
This is barnabas talking. word to the wise,
00:15:19.738 --> 00:15:20.539
Word to the wise, let barnabas talk.
00:15:20.606 --> 00:15:23.442
Let barnabas talk. let barnabas talk.
00:15:23.509 --> 00:15:25.110
Let barnabas talk. quit listening to the accuser
00:15:25.177 --> 00:15:26.679
Quit listening to the accuser all the time.
00:15:26.745 --> 00:15:27.646
All the time. let barnabas talk.
00:15:27.713 --> 00:15:29.415
Let barnabas talk. let the god who believes
00:15:29.481 --> 00:15:30.349
Let the god who believes in you speak.
00:15:30.416 --> 00:15:32.318
In you speak. and paul was having abuse
00:15:32.384 --> 00:15:33.652
Heaped on him,
00:15:33.752 --> 00:15:34.219
Heaped on him, and paul and barnabas
00:15:34.286 --> 00:15:35.387
And paul and barnabas answered 'em boldly.
00:15:35.454 --> 00:15:36.221
Answered 'em boldly. now barnabas got in on this too.
00:15:36.288 --> 00:15:38.390
Now barnabas got in on this too. he said,
00:15:38.457 --> 00:15:38.958
He said, "we had to speak the word
00:15:39.024 --> 00:15:39.792
"we had to speak the word of god to you first since
00:15:39.858 --> 00:15:41.360
Of god to you first since you reject it and do
00:15:41.427 --> 00:15:42.895
You reject it and do not consider yourselves
00:15:42.962 --> 00:15:43.996
Not consider yourselves worthy of eternal life,
00:15:44.063 --> 00:15:45.531
Worthy of eternal life, we now turn to the gentiles."
00:15:45.597 --> 00:15:47.666
We now turn to the gentiles." let me ask a question.
00:15:47.733 --> 00:15:49.168
How many of you
00:15:49.268 --> 00:15:49.835
How many of you are not jewish by birth?
00:15:49.902 --> 00:15:51.036
Are not jewish by birth? raise your hand.
00:15:51.103 --> 00:15:53.305
Raise your hand. this is how you got here.
00:15:53.372 --> 00:15:56.442
This is how you got here. think about it.
00:15:56.508 --> 00:15:58.377
Think about it. they rejected paul,
00:15:58.444 --> 00:16:01.347
They rejected paul, and because they rejected paul,
00:16:01.413 --> 00:16:03.682
And because they rejected paul, paul reached you.
00:16:03.749 --> 00:16:07.419
Paul reached you. so maybe paul and barnabas
00:16:07.486 --> 00:16:09.188
So maybe paul and barnabas decided on that 300 mile trip
00:16:09.254 --> 00:16:11.023
Decided on that 300 mile trip back to antioch,
00:16:11.090 --> 00:16:12.191
Back to antioch, "when we get there,
00:16:12.257 --> 00:16:13.592
"when we get there, let's make sure to tell them
00:16:13.659 --> 00:16:15.594
Let's make sure to tell them that rejection can
00:16:15.661 --> 00:16:17.296
That rejection can become redirection."
00:16:17.363 --> 00:16:19.531
[applause]
00:16:20.099 --> 00:16:20.332
High five your neighbor and say,
00:16:20.866 --> 00:16:22.167
High five your neighbor and say, "they didn't reject me,
00:16:22.234 --> 00:16:23.736
"they didn't reject me, they redirected me."
00:16:23.802 --> 00:16:25.404
They redirected me." that was my gps talking.
00:16:25.471 --> 00:16:27.406
That was my gps talking. that was god using that
00:16:27.473 --> 00:16:28.640
That was god using that to get me on a different path
00:16:28.707 --> 00:16:30.676
To get me on a different path because i would have always
00:16:30.743 --> 00:16:32.311
Because i would have always stayed in that place
00:16:32.378 --> 00:16:33.479
Stayed in that place if i didn't feel a rejection.
00:16:33.545 --> 00:16:36.849
If i didn't feel a rejection. paul actually turned
00:16:36.915 --> 00:16:38.384
Paul actually turned to the crowd and said,
00:16:38.450 --> 00:16:39.585
To the crowd and said, "we were preaching to you,
00:16:39.651 --> 00:16:41.286
"we were preaching to you, but now we are turning
00:16:41.353 --> 00:16:42.488
But now we are turning to the gentiles because
00:16:42.554 --> 00:16:43.956
To the gentiles because rejection can be redirection.
00:16:44.023 --> 00:16:48.694
Rejection can be redirection. so let's make sure we tell 'em
00:16:48.761 --> 00:16:50.562
So let's make sure we tell 'em about the pettiness in pisidia
00:16:50.629 --> 00:16:53.132
About the pettiness in pisidia and the sorcerer in cyprus.
00:16:53.198 --> 00:16:58.904
And the sorcerer in cyprus. but paul i also think
00:16:58.971 --> 00:16:59.705
But paul i also think we need to tell 'em
00:16:59.772 --> 00:17:02.941
We need to tell 'em about the lynching.
00:17:03.008 --> 00:17:06.145
About the lynching. i think we need to tell them
00:17:06.211 --> 00:17:07.112
I think we need to tell them about the lynching that you went
00:17:07.179 --> 00:17:08.113
About the lynching that you went through in lystra.
00:17:08.180 --> 00:17:12.985
Through in lystra. 'cause when they got to lystra,
00:17:13.052 --> 00:17:14.053
'cause when they got to lystra, paul was doing miracles, man.
00:17:14.119 --> 00:17:16.288
Paul was doing miracles, man. y'all mind if i tell you these
00:17:16.355 --> 00:17:17.222
Y'all mind if i tell you these bible stories real quick?
00:17:17.289 --> 00:17:19.491
Bible stories real quick? my barber told me,
00:17:19.558 --> 00:17:20.125
My barber told me, "don't forget,
00:17:20.192 --> 00:17:20.559
"don't forget, the people you preaching to
00:17:20.626 --> 00:17:21.293
The people you preaching to hadn't opened their bible
00:17:21.360 --> 00:17:22.094
Hadn't opened their bible all week."
00:17:22.161 --> 00:17:23.629
All week." i was like,
00:17:23.695 --> 00:17:24.263
I was like, "they open it, some."
00:17:24.329 --> 00:17:25.030
"they open it, some." he's like, "maybe the app,
00:17:25.097 --> 00:17:26.065
He's like, "maybe the app, but you really need to dig
00:17:26.131 --> 00:17:26.932
But you really need to dig into these stories for us."
00:17:26.999 --> 00:17:27.800
[laughter]
00:17:28.300 --> 00:17:30.235
Now, yeah, i want you to get it
00:17:31.470 --> 00:17:33.338
Now, yeah, i want you to get it because if you don't
00:17:33.405 --> 00:17:35.307
Because if you don't get this part of it,
00:17:35.374 --> 00:17:36.642
Get this part of it, when i read you
00:17:36.708 --> 00:17:37.309
When i read you a verse that says,
00:17:37.376 --> 00:17:38.377
A verse that says, "the devil left jesus,"
00:17:38.444 --> 00:17:39.044
"the devil left jesus," or "paul and barnabas
00:17:39.111 --> 00:17:40.813
Or "paul and barnabas stood up and reported
00:17:40.879 --> 00:17:41.847
Stood up and reported how the lord opened a door,"
00:17:41.914 --> 00:17:43.782
How the lord opened a door," you'll think that the door
00:17:43.849 --> 00:17:44.616
You'll think that the door opened without difficulty,
00:17:44.683 --> 00:17:47.586
Opened without difficulty, and you will be surprised
00:17:47.653 --> 00:17:49.455
And you will be surprised when you struggle,
00:17:49.521 --> 00:17:51.457
When you struggle, and you will think that you
00:17:51.523 --> 00:17:52.524
And you will think that you are not a saint
00:17:52.591 --> 00:17:53.625
Are not a saint because you struggle.
00:17:53.692 --> 00:17:55.094
Because you struggle. and you may even begin
00:17:55.160 --> 00:17:56.195
And you may even begin to believe the devil
00:17:56.261 --> 00:17:58.197
To believe the devil that you are not who
00:17:58.263 --> 00:17:59.064
That you are not who god says you are.
00:17:59.131 --> 00:18:01.266
God says you are. and when they got to lystra,
00:18:01.333 --> 00:18:03.168
And when they got to lystra, paul performed miracles
00:18:03.235 --> 00:18:05.571
Paul performed miracles to the extent that one
00:18:05.637 --> 00:18:07.539
To the extent that one who was crippled
00:18:07.606 --> 00:18:08.073
Who was crippled from birth got up.
00:18:08.140 --> 00:18:10.375
From birth got up. now when he got up,
00:18:10.442 --> 00:18:11.510
Now when he got up, the crowd went crazy,
00:18:11.577 --> 00:18:13.412
The crowd went crazy, as crowds do when people
00:18:13.479 --> 00:18:14.813
As crowds do when people who have never walked
00:18:14.880 --> 00:18:15.714
Who have never walked before start to walk.
00:18:15.781 --> 00:18:18.517
Before start to walk. and they took it
00:18:18.584 --> 00:18:20.619
And they took it a little too far.
00:18:20.686 --> 00:18:22.454
A little too far. in fact they started saying
00:18:22.521 --> 00:18:24.957
In fact they started saying paul and barnabas are gods.
00:18:25.023 --> 00:18:28.327
Paul and barnabas are gods. barnabas is zeus,
00:18:28.393 --> 00:18:30.596
Barnabas is zeus, paul is hermes.
00:18:30.662 --> 00:18:33.665
Paul is hermes. and paul was like,
00:18:33.732 --> 00:18:34.199
And paul was like, "no, no, no, no,
00:18:34.266 --> 00:18:35.400
"no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:18:35.467 --> 00:18:36.602
No, no, no, no. we're servants like you."
00:18:36.668 --> 00:18:37.936
We're servants like you." and they're like,
00:18:38.003 --> 00:18:38.403
And they're like, "oh yeah, we know
00:18:38.470 --> 00:18:39.004
"oh yeah, we know who you are.
00:18:39.071 --> 00:18:39.705
Who you are. you are zeus and hermes."
00:18:39.771 --> 00:18:41.907
You are zeus and hermes." but see, other people
00:18:41.974 --> 00:18:43.408
But see, other people can't tell you who you are
00:18:43.475 --> 00:18:44.376
Can't tell you who you are when you know who you are.
00:18:44.443 --> 00:18:48.113
When you know who you are. and when you know who you are,
00:18:48.180 --> 00:18:49.748
And when you know who you are, you don't get too high
00:18:49.815 --> 00:18:51.717
You don't get too high and you don't get too low
00:18:51.783 --> 00:18:53.318
And you don't get too low because your hope is built
00:18:53.385 --> 00:18:54.520
Because your hope is built on what jesus says about you.
00:18:54.586 --> 00:18:56.889
On what jesus says about you. so paul wasn't too swayed
00:18:56.955 --> 00:18:58.257
So paul wasn't too swayed by the lows,
00:18:58.323 --> 00:18:59.892
By the lows, he wasn't too swayed
00:18:59.958 --> 00:19:00.792
He wasn't too swayed by the highs.
00:19:00.859 --> 00:19:02.294
By the highs. he said,
00:19:02.361 --> 00:19:02.728
He said, "we are just men.
00:19:02.794 --> 00:19:03.962
"we are just men. we are servants who have
00:19:04.029 --> 00:19:05.631
We are servants who have come to tell you about jesus.
00:19:05.697 --> 00:19:08.367
Come to tell you about jesus. that's all we are.
00:19:08.433 --> 00:19:09.635
That's all we are. we are just the ones who open
00:19:09.701 --> 00:19:11.036
We are just the ones who open the door, we're not the door."
00:19:11.103 --> 00:19:13.639
The door, we're not the door." and so they started
00:19:13.705 --> 00:19:14.573
And so they started preaching that,
00:19:14.640 --> 00:19:15.040
Preaching that, and the people
00:19:15.107 --> 00:19:15.774
And the people were going crazy.
00:19:15.841 --> 00:19:16.875
Were going crazy. and then watch what happened
00:19:16.942 --> 00:19:18.210
And then watch what happened in acts 14:19, it says that,
00:19:18.277 --> 00:19:21.613
"they stoned paul."
00:19:21.713 --> 00:19:24.116
"they stoned paul." what happened?
00:19:24.183 --> 00:19:24.783
What happened? some people came in
00:19:24.850 --> 00:19:25.984
Some people came in who were jealous,
00:19:26.051 --> 00:19:27.152
Who were jealous, some people came in
00:19:27.219 --> 00:19:27.886
Some people came in who were mixed up,
00:19:27.953 --> 00:19:29.354
Who were mixed up, "and they stoned him
00:19:29.421 --> 00:19:30.956
"and they stoned him and dragged him outside
00:19:31.023 --> 00:19:32.624
And dragged him outside the city thinking he was dead."
00:19:32.691 --> 00:19:35.961
The city thinking he was dead." and maybe paul says,
00:19:36.028 --> 00:19:37.329
"we've got to tell them
00:19:37.429 --> 00:19:38.830
"we've got to tell them about the lynching in lystra."
00:19:38.897 --> 00:19:41.066
About the lynching in lystra." and then barnabas says,
00:19:41.133 --> 00:19:42.267
And then barnabas says, "yeah, but we got to make sure
00:19:42.334 --> 00:19:43.635
"yeah, but we got to make sure we tell 'em what happened next,
00:19:43.702 --> 00:19:44.903
We tell 'em what happened next, paul, because it was amazing.
00:19:44.970 --> 00:19:47.472
Paul, because it was amazing. because they stoned you,
00:19:47.539 --> 00:19:48.941
Because they stoned you, and left you for dead,
00:19:49.007 --> 00:19:50.209
And left you for dead, and they turned on you,
00:19:50.275 --> 00:19:51.777
And they turned on you, and they condemned you,
00:19:51.843 --> 00:19:52.945
And they condemned you, and they accused you,
00:19:53.011 --> 00:19:54.112
And they accused you, and they buried you,
00:19:54.179 --> 00:19:55.280
And they buried you, and they maligned you,
00:19:55.347 --> 00:19:56.615
And they maligned you, and they hurt you,
00:19:56.682 --> 00:19:57.849
And they hurt you, and it looked like it was over,"
00:19:57.916 --> 00:19:59.651
And it looked like it was over," but give me verse 20.
00:19:59.718 --> 00:20:01.620
But give me verse 20. it is written,
00:20:01.687 --> 00:20:02.754
It is written,
00:20:02.854 --> 00:20:03.789
It is written, "but after the disciples
00:20:03.855 --> 00:20:05.390
"but after the disciples had gathered around him,
00:20:05.457 --> 00:20:07.426
Had gathered around him, but after the help came,
00:20:07.492 --> 00:20:09.161
But after the help came, but after the connection came,
00:20:09.228 --> 00:20:11.396
But after the connection came, paul got up and went back."
00:20:11.463 --> 00:20:14.800
