- 00:03:18.518 --> 00:03:20.019
- Of god to you first since you reject it and do
- 00:03:20.086 --> 00:03:21.554
- You reject it and do not consider yourselves

- Worthy of eternal life, we now turn to the gentiles."
- 00:03:24.257 --> 00:03:26.326
- We now turn to the gentiles." let me ask a question.
- 00:03:26.392 --> 00:03:27.827
- How many of you
- 00:03:27.927 --> 00:03:28.494
- How many of you are not jewish by birth?
- 00:03:28.561 --> 00:03:29.696
- Are not jewish by birth? raise your hand.
- 00:03:29.762 --> 00:03:31.965
- Raise your hand. this is how you got here.
- 00:03:32.031 --> 00:03:35.101
- This is how you got here. think about it.
- 00:03:35.168 --> 00:03:37.036
- 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
- And because they rejected paul, paul reached you.
- 00:03:42.408 --> 00:03:46.079
- Paul reached you. so maybe paul and barnabas
- 00:03:46.145 --> 00:03:47.847
- Decided on that 300 mile trip
- 00:03:47.947 --> 00:03:49.682
- Decided on that 300 mile trip back to antioch,
- 00:03:49.749 --> 00:03:50.850
- Back to antioch, "when we get there,
- 00:03:50.917 --> 00:03:52.252
- "when we get there, let's make sure to tell them
- 00:03:52.318 --> 00:03:54.254
- Let's make sure to tell them that rejection can
- 00:03:54.320 --> 00:03:55.955
- That rejection can become redirection."

- They redirected me." that was my gps talking.
- 00:04:04.130 --> 00:04:06.065
- That was my gps talking. that was god using that
- 00:04:06.132 --> 00:04:07.300
- 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,
- 00:04:18.311 --> 00:04:19.946
- "we were preaching to you, but now we are turning
- 00:04:20.013 --> 00:04:21.147
- But now we are turning to the gentiles because
- 00:04:21.214 --> 00:04:22.615
- To the gentiles because rejection can be redirection.
- 00:04:22.682 --> 00:04:27.353
- Rejection can be redirection. so let's make sure we tell 'em
- 00:04:27.420 --> 00:04:29.222

- 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.

- And they accused you, and they buried you,

- And they buried you, and they maligned you,

- And they maligned you, and they hurt you,

- Jesus said to the devil, "away from me."
- 00:14:52.211 --> 00:14:54.280
- "away from me." he was showing you what to do,
- 00:14:54.346 --> 00:14:56.982

- And remember who he is. jesus said to satan,
- 00:15:23.909 --> 00:15:25.311
- Jesus said to satan, "away from me."
- 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. 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

- 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
