  • Think about it. they rejected paul,
  • 00:03:37.103 --> 00:03:40.006
  • They rejected paul, and because they rejected paul,
  • 00:03:40.073 --> 00:03:42.342

  • That was god using that to get me on a different path
  • 00:04:07.367 --> 00:04:09.335
  • To get me on a different path because i would have always
  • 00:04:09.402 --> 00:04:10.970
  • Because i would have always stayed in that place
  • 00:04:11.037 --> 00:04:12.138
  • Stayed in that place if i didn't feel a rejection.
  • 00:04:12.205 --> 00:04:15.508
  • If i didn't feel a rejection. paul actually turned
  • 00:04:15.575 --> 00:04:17.043
  • Paul actually turned to the crowd and said,
  • 00:04:17.110 --> 00:04:18.244
  • To the crowd and said, "we were preaching to you,

  • Bible stories real quick? my barber told me,

  • My barber told me, "don't forget,
  • 00:04:58.851 --> 00:04:59.218
  • "don't forget, the people you preaching to
  • 00:04:59.285 --> 00:04:59.952
  • The people you preaching to hadn't opened their bible
  • 00:05:00.019 --> 00:05:00.753
  • Hadn't opened their bible all week."
  • 00:05:00.820 --> 00:05:02.288
  • All week." i was like,
  • 00:05:02.355 --> 00:05:02.922
  • I was like, "they open it, some."
  • 00:05:02.989 --> 00:05:03.690
  • "they open it, some." he's like, "maybe the app,
  • 00:05:03.756 --> 00:05:04.724
  • He's like, "maybe the app, but you really need to dig
  • 00:05:04.791 --> 00:05:05.591
  • But you really need to dig into these stories for us."
  • 00:05:05.658 --> 00:05:06.459
  • [laughter]
  • 00:05:06.959 --> 00:05:08.895
  • Now, yeah, i want you to get it
  • 00:05:10.129 --> 00:05:11.998
  • Now, yeah, i want you to get it because if you don't
  • 00:05:12.065 --> 00:05:13.966
  • Because if you don't get this part of it,
  • 00:05:14.033 --> 00:05:15.301
  • Get this part of it, when i read you
  • 00:05:15.368 --> 00:05:15.968
  • When i read you a verse that says,
  • 00:05:16.035 --> 00:05:17.036
  • A verse that says, "the devil left jesus,"
  • 00:05:17.103 --> 00:05:17.704
  • "the devil left jesus," or "paul and barnabas
  • 00:05:17.770 --> 00:05:19.472
  • Or "paul and barnabas stood up and reported
  • 00:05:19.539 --> 00:05:20.506
  • Stood up and reported how the lord opened a door,"
  • 00:05:20.573 --> 00:05:22.442
  • How the lord opened a door," you'll think that the door
  • 00:05:22.508 --> 00:05:23.276
  • You'll think that the door opened without difficulty,
  • 00:05:23.343 --> 00:05:26.245
  • Opened without difficulty, and you will be surprised
  • 00:05:26.312 --> 00:05:28.114
  • And you will be surprised when you struggle,
  • 00:05:28.181 --> 00:05:30.116
  • When you struggle, and you will think that you
  • 00:05:30.183 --> 00:05:31.184
  • And you will think that you are not a saint
  • 00:05:31.250 --> 00:05:32.285
  • Are not a saint because you struggle.
  • 00:05:32.352 --> 00:05:33.753
  • Because you struggle. and you may even begin
  • 00:05:33.820 --> 00:05:34.854
  • And you may even begin to believe the devil
  • 00:05:34.921 --> 00:05:36.856
  • To believe the devil that you are not who
  • 00:05:36.923 --> 00:05:37.724
  • That you are not who god says you are.
  • 00:05:37.790 --> 00:05:39.926
  • God says you are. and when they got to lystra,
  • 00:05:39.992 --> 00:05:41.828
  • And when they got to lystra, paul performed miracles
  • 00:05:41.894 --> 00:05:44.230
  • Paul performed miracles to the extent that one
  • 00:05:44.297 --> 00:05:46.199
  • To the extent that one who was crippled
  • 00:05:46.265 --> 00:05:46.733
  • Who was crippled from birth got up.
  • 00:05:46.799 --> 00:05:49.035
  • From birth got up. now when he got up,
  • 00:05:49.102 --> 00:05:50.169
  • Now when he got up, the crowd went crazy,
  • 00:05:50.236 --> 00:05:52.071
  • The crowd went crazy, as crowds do when people
  • 00:05:52.138 --> 00:05:53.473
  • As crowds do when people who have never walked
  • 00:05:53.539 --> 00:05:54.374
  • Who have never walked before start to walk.
  • 00:05:54.440 --> 00:05:57.176
  • Before start to walk. and they took it
  • 00:05:57.243 --> 00:05:59.278
  • And they took it a little too far.
  • 00:05:59.345 --> 00:06:01.114
  • A little too far. in fact they started saying
  • 00:06:01.180 --> 00:06:03.616
  • In fact they started saying paul and barnabas are gods.
  • 00:06:03.683 --> 00:06:06.986
  • Paul and barnabas are gods. barnabas is zeus,
  • 00:06:07.053 --> 00:06:09.255
  • Barnabas is zeus, paul is hermes.
  • 00:06:09.322 --> 00:06:12.325
  • Paul is hermes. and paul was like,
  • 00:06:12.392 --> 00:06:12.859
  • And paul was like, "no, no, no, no,
  • 00:06:12.925 --> 00:06:14.060
  • "no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
  • 00:06:14.127 --> 00:06:15.261
  • No, no, no, no. we're servants like you."
  • 00:06:15.328 --> 00:06:16.596
  • We're servants like you." and they're like,
  • 00:06:16.662 --> 00:06:17.063
  • And they're like, "oh yeah, we know
  • 00:06:17.130 --> 00:06:17.663
  • "oh yeah, we know who you are.
  • 00:06:17.730 --> 00:06:18.364
  • Who you are. you are zeus and hermes."
  • 00:06:18.431 --> 00:06:20.566
  • You are zeus and hermes." but see, other people
  • 00:06:20.633 --> 00:06:22.068
  • But see, other people can't tell you who you are
  • 00:06:22.135 --> 00:06:23.035
  • Can't tell you who you are when you know who you are.
  • 00:06:23.102 --> 00:06:26.773
  • When you know who you are. and when you know who you are,
  • 00:06:26.839 --> 00:06:28.408
  • And when you know who you are, you don't get too high
  • 00:06:28.474 --> 00:06:30.376
  • You don't get too high and you don't get too low
  • 00:06:30.443 --> 00:06:31.978
  • And you don't get too low because your hope is built
  • 00:06:32.044 --> 00:06:33.179
  • Because your hope is built on what jesus says about you.
  • 00:06:33.246 --> 00:06:35.548
  • On what jesus says about you. so paul wasn't too swayed
  • 00:06:35.615 --> 00:06:36.916
  • So paul wasn't too swayed by the lows,
  • 00:06:36.983 --> 00:06:38.551
  • By the lows, he wasn't too swayed
  • 00:06:38.618 --> 00:06:39.452
  • He wasn't too swayed by the highs.
  • 00:06:39.519 --> 00:06:40.953
  • By the highs. he said,
  • 00:06:41.020 --> 00:06:41.387
  • He said, "we are just men.
  • 00:06:41.454 --> 00:06:42.622
  • "we are just men. we are servants who have
  • 00:06:42.688 --> 00:06:44.290
  • We are servants who have come to tell you about jesus.
  • 00:06:44.357 --> 00:06:47.026
  • Come to tell you about jesus. that's all we are.
  • 00:06:47.093 --> 00:06:48.294
  • That's all we are. we are just the ones who open
  • 00:06:48.361 --> 00:06:49.695
  • We are just the ones who open the door, we're not the door."
  • 00:06:49.762 --> 00:06:52.298
  • The door, we're not the door." and so they started
  • 00:06:52.365 --> 00:06:53.232
  • And so they started preaching that,
  • 00:06:53.299 --> 00:06:53.699
  • Preaching that, and the people
  • 00:06:53.766 --> 00:06:54.434
  • And the people were going crazy.
  • 00:06:54.500 --> 00:06:55.535
  • Were going crazy. and then watch what happened
  • 00:06:55.601 --> 00:06:56.869
  • And then watch what happened in acts 14:19, it says that,
  • 00:06:56.936 --> 00:07:00.273
  • "they stoned paul."
  • 00:07:00.373 --> 00:07:02.775
  • "they stoned paul." what happened?
  • 00:07:02.842 --> 00:07:03.443
  • What happened? some people came in
  • 00:07:03.509 --> 00:07:04.644
  • Some people came in who were jealous,
  • 00:07:04.710 --> 00:07:05.812
  • Who were jealous, some people came in
  • 00:07:05.878 --> 00:07:06.546
  • Some people came in who were mixed up,
  • 00:07:06.612 --> 00:07:08.014
  • Who were mixed up, "and they stoned him
  • 00:07:08.080 --> 00:07:09.615
  • "and they stoned him and dragged him outside
  • 00:07:09.682 --> 00:07:11.284
  • And dragged him outside the city thinking he was dead."
  • 00:07:11.350 --> 00:07:14.620
  • The city thinking he was dead." and maybe paul says,
  • 00:07:14.687 --> 00:07:15.988
  • "we've got to tell them
  • 00:07:16.088 --> 00:07:17.490
  • "we've got to tell them about the lynching in lystra."
  • 00:07:17.557 --> 00:07:19.725
  • About the lynching in lystra." and then barnabas says,
  • 00:07:19.792 --> 00:07:20.927
  • And then barnabas says, "yeah, but we got to make sure
  • 00:07:20.993 --> 00:07:22.295
  • "yeah, but we got to make sure we tell 'em what happened next,
  • 00:07:22.361 --> 00:07:23.563
  • We tell 'em what happened next, paul, because it was amazing.
  • 00:07:23.629 --> 00:07:26.132
  • Paul, because it was amazing. because they stoned you,
  • 00:07:26.199 --> 00:07:27.600
  • Because they stoned you, and left you for dead,
  • 00:07:27.667 --> 00:07:28.868
  • And left you for dead, and they turned on you,
  • 00:07:28.935 --> 00:07:30.436
  • And they turned on you, and they condemned you,
  • 00:07:30.503 --> 00:07:31.604
  • And they condemned you, and they accused you,
  • 00:07:31.671 --> 00:07:32.772
  • And they accused you, and they buried you,
  • 00:07:32.839 --> 00:07:33.940
  • And they buried you, and they maligned you,
  • 00:07:34.006 --> 00:07:35.274
  • And they maligned you, and they hurt you,
  • 00:07:35.341 --> 00:07:36.509
  • And they hurt you, and it looked like it was over,"
  • 00:07:36.576 --> 00:07:38.311
  • And it looked like it was over," but give me verse 20.
  • 00:07:38.377 --> 00:07:40.279
  • But give me verse 20. it is written,
  • 00:07:40.346 --> 00:07:41.414
  • It is written,
  • 00:07:41.514 --> 00:07:42.448
  • It is written, "but after the disciples
  • 00:07:42.515 --> 00:07:44.050
  • "but after the disciples had gathered around him,
  • 00:07:44.116 --> 00:07:46.085

  • 00:15:25.377 --> 00:15:26.478
  • "away from me." you ever wonder why
  • 00:15:26.545 --> 00:15:28.347
  • You ever wonder why he waited till the third time
  • 00:15:28.414 --> 00:15:29.715
  • He waited till the third time the devil tempted him
  • 00:15:29.782 --> 00:15:30.482
  • The devil tempted him to send him away?
  • 00:15:30.549 --> 00:15:33.285
  • To send him away? i thought about that
  • 00:15:33.352 --> 00:15:33.886
  • I thought about that a lot this week.
  • 00:15:33.953 --> 00:15:36.522
  • A lot this week. one, i think he was
  • 00:15:36.588 --> 00:15:37.189
  • One, i think he was setting an example for us
  • 00:15:37.256 --> 00:15:38.290
  • Setting an example for us to know that temptation
  • 00:15:38.357 --> 00:15:39.258
  • To know that temptation isn't something you resist once
  • 00:15:39.325 --> 00:15:40.459
  • Isn't something you resist once and you're done with it.
  • 00:15:40.526 --> 00:15:44.663
  • And you're done with it. two, i think he was doing it
  • 00:15:44.730 --> 00:15:46.432
  • Two, i think he was doing it to show us the three types
  • 00:15:46.498 --> 00:15:47.733
  • To show us the three types of temptation we all face:
  • 00:15:47.800 --> 00:15:49.001
  • Of temptation we all face: the lust of the flesh,
  • 00:15:49.068 --> 00:15:49.902
  • The lust of the flesh, "turn these stones into bread,"
  • 00:15:49.969 --> 00:15:51.603
  • "turn these stones into bread," the lust of the eyes,
  • 00:15:51.670 --> 00:15:52.972
  • The lust of the eyes, "throw yourself off,"
  • 00:15:53.038 --> 00:15:53.739
  • "throw yourself off," and the pride of life,
  • 00:15:53.806 --> 00:15:54.807
  • And the pride of life, "bow down and worship me
  • 00:15:54.873 --> 00:15:55.607
  • "bow down and worship me and i'll give you all
  • 00:15:55.674 --> 00:15:56.208
  • And i'll give you all the kingdoms of the world."
  • 00:15:56.275 --> 00:15:58.844
  • The kingdoms of the world." but another reason i think is
  • 00:15:58.911 --> 00:15:59.778
  • But another reason i think is because of what the devil
  • 00:15:59.845 --> 00:16:00.713
  • Because of what the devil said the third time.
  • 00:16:00.779 --> 00:16:03.115
  • Said the third time. he said, "jesus,
  • 00:16:03.182 --> 00:16:05.217
  • He said, "jesus, you see all this?"
  • 00:16:05.284 --> 00:16:06.919
  • You see all this?" and he took him to a high place,
  • 00:16:06.986 --> 00:16:08.020
  • And he took him to a high place, it says he can see all
  • 00:16:08.087 --> 00:16:08.754
  • It says he can see all the kingdoms of the world,
  • 00:16:08.821 --> 00:16:09.521
  • The kingdoms of the world, which lets us know
  • 00:16:09.588 --> 00:16:10.356
  • Which lets us know that this was not
  • 00:16:10.422 --> 00:16:11.056
  • That this was not a physical transportation,
  • 00:16:11.123 --> 00:16:13.225
  • A physical transportation, it was a mental one.
  • 00:16:13.292 --> 00:16:14.793
  • It was a mental one. there's no mountain high
  • 00:16:14.860 --> 00:16:15.661
  • There's no mountain high enough to show you all
  • 00:16:15.728 --> 00:16:16.662
  • Enough to show you all the kingdoms of the world,
  • 00:16:16.729 --> 00:16:17.730
  • The kingdoms of the world, so this was all happening
  • 00:16:17.796 --> 00:16:18.931
  • So this was all happening in jesus' mind,
  • 00:16:18.998 --> 00:16:21.367
  • In jesus' mind, just like it's all
  • 00:16:21.433 --> 00:16:21.967
  • Just like it's all happening in yours.
  • 00:16:22.034 --> 00:16:24.937
  • Happening in yours. and the real challenge
  • 00:16:25.004 --> 00:16:25.571
  • And the real challenge is not to get back
  • 00:16:25.637 --> 00:16:26.438
  • Is not to get back to antioch physically,
  • 00:16:26.505 --> 00:16:27.873
  • To antioch physically, it's to get back to your grace.
  • 00:16:27.940 --> 00:16:30.442
  • [applause]
  • 00:16:30.876 --> 00:16:32.945
  • So...
  • 00:16:33.178 --> 00:16:33.712
  • [applause]
  • 00:16:34.079 --> 00:16:36.915
  • The devil took him,
  • 00:16:37.316 --> 00:16:39.018
  • The devil took him, the devil took him
  • 00:16:39.084 --> 00:16:39.551
  • The devil took him to a high place and he said,
  • 00:16:39.618 --> 00:16:43.322
  • To a high place and he said, "all this i'll give you."
  • 00:16:43.389 --> 00:16:45.357
  • "all this i'll give you." now, remember the devil
  • 00:16:45.424 --> 00:16:46.025
  • Now, remember the devil did three things:
  • 00:16:46.091 --> 00:16:47.092
  • Did three things: he led jesus,
  • 00:16:47.159 --> 00:16:49.094
  • He led jesus, i don't mean that
  • 00:16:49.161 --> 00:16:49.595
  • I don't mean that jesus was following him,
  • 00:16:49.661 --> 00:16:50.963
  • Jesus was following him, i mean that he took him there.
  • 00:16:51.030 --> 00:16:52.531
  • I mean that he took him there. one translation says
  • 00:16:52.598 --> 00:16:53.332
  • One translation says he led and then he lied.
  • 00:16:53.399 --> 00:16:56.502
  • He led and then he lied. now, the first two times
  • 00:16:56.568 --> 00:16:58.270
  • Now, the first two times the devil quoted
  • 00:16:58.337 --> 00:16:58.804
  • The devil quoted a scripture at jesus,
  • 00:16:58.871 --> 00:17:01.540
  • A scripture at jesus, but the third time
  • 00:17:01.607 --> 00:17:02.207
  • But the third time was an outright lie.
  • 00:17:02.274 --> 00:17:05.144
  • He said, "all this
  • 00:17:05.244 --> 00:17:05.978
  • He said, "all this i will give you," verse 9,
  • 00:17:06.045 --> 00:17:07.913
  • I will give you," verse 9, "if you will bow down
  • 00:17:07.980 --> 00:17:08.914
  • "if you will bow down and worship me."
  • 00:17:08.981 --> 00:17:11.183
  • And worship me." and then the devil said,
  • 00:17:11.250 --> 00:17:12.084
  • And then the devil said, "leave."
  • 00:17:12.151 --> 00:17:12.818
  • He led, he lied,
  • 00:17:12.918 --> 00:17:15.521
  • He led, he lied, and he left.
  • 00:17:15.587 --> 00:17:17.122
  • And he left. and you say,
  • 00:17:17.189 --> 00:17:18.957
  • And you say, "what was the lie
  • 00:17:19.024 --> 00:17:20.392
  • "what was the lie in verse 9?"
  • 00:17:20.459 --> 00:17:23.395
  • In verse 9?" the lie is that anybody
  • 00:17:23.462 --> 00:17:25.264
  • The lie is that anybody was worthy of worship
  • 00:17:25.330 --> 00:17:26.298
  • Was worthy of worship other than jesus.
  • 00:17:26.365 --> 00:17:29.101
  • Other than jesus. so when the devil said,
  • 00:17:29.168 --> 00:17:30.035
  • So when the devil said, "worship me,"
  • 00:17:30.102 --> 00:17:31.603
  • "worship me," jesus said, "get outta here.
  • 00:17:31.670 --> 00:17:34.740
  • Jesus said, "get outta here. i'm not the worshipper,
  • 00:17:34.807 --> 00:17:37.876
  • I'm not the worshipper, i'm the worshipped."
  • 00:17:37.943 --> 00:17:39.178
  • [applause]
  • 00:17:39.411 --> 00:17:41.513
  • That's it.
  • 00:17:42.748 --> 00:17:42.981
  • [applause]
  • 00:17:43.248 --> 00:17:46.185
  • Now, let me show you the door.
  • 00:17:47.619 --> 00:17:51.557
  • Now, let me show you the door. for those of you
  • 00:17:51.623 --> 00:17:52.057
  • For those of you who really know your bible
  • 00:17:52.124 --> 00:17:54.259
  • Who really know your bible you will be familiar
  • 00:17:54.326 --> 00:17:55.160
  • You will be familiar with john 10:10,
  • 00:17:55.227 --> 00:17:57.629
  • "the thief comes to kill,
  • 00:17:57.729 --> 00:17:59.031
  • "the thief comes to kill, steal, and destroy;
  • 00:17:59.098 --> 00:18:00.566
  • Steal, and destroy; but i have come that
  • 00:18:00.632 --> 00:18:01.867
  • But i have come that you might have life
  • 00:18:01.934 --> 00:18:03.735
  • You might have life and have it to the full."
  • 00:18:03.802 --> 00:18:05.971
  • And have it to the full." or king james,
  • 00:18:06.038 --> 00:18:07.573
  • "have it more abundantly."
  • 00:18:07.673 --> 00:18:10.242
  • "have it more abundantly." tell the devil,
  • 00:18:10.309 --> 00:18:10.776
  • Tell the devil, "get thee hence."
  • 00:18:10.843 --> 00:18:11.844
  • "get thee hence." >> congregation: get thee hence.
  • 00:18:11.910 --> 00:18:13.011
  • >> congregation: get thee hence. >> i have life, i have life.
  • 00:18:13.078 --> 00:18:15.414
  • >> i have life, i have life. this is my life.
  • 00:18:15.481 --> 00:18:16.849
  • This is my life. god gave it to me
  • 00:18:16.915 --> 00:18:17.749
  • God gave it to me and i'm gonna live it for him.
  • 00:18:17.816 --> 00:18:21.019
  • And i'm gonna live it for him. but there's another thing
  • 00:18:21.086 --> 00:18:22.387
  • But there's another thing that jesus said
  • 00:18:22.454 --> 00:18:23.822
  • That jesus said just before he said,
  • 00:18:23.889 --> 00:18:24.857
  • Just before he said, "the thief comes to steal,
  • 00:18:24.923 --> 00:18:25.691
  • "the thief comes to steal, kill, and destroy,
  • 00:18:25.757 --> 00:18:26.758
  • Kill, and destroy, but i have come that
  • 00:18:26.825 --> 00:18:27.526
  • But i have come that you might have life,"
  • 00:18:27.593 --> 00:18:29.261
  • You might have life," in verse 9,
  • 00:18:29.328 --> 00:18:31.497
  • In verse 9, that i wanna show you today.
  • 00:18:31.563 --> 00:18:33.899
  • That i wanna show you today. where jesus said,
  • 00:18:33.966 --> 00:18:35.267
  • "i am the door."
  • 00:18:35.367 --> 00:18:42.875

  • [applause]
  • 00:18:58.757 --> 00:18:59.024
  • When he tells you,
  • 00:18:59.491 --> 00:19:01.927
  • When he tells you, you don't have a right to pray,
  • 00:19:01.994 --> 00:19:04.396
  • You don't have a right to pray, you know how unworthy you are,
  • 00:19:04.463 --> 00:19:06.365
