That lapses before you know a conclusion which would be
00:00:38.123 --> 00:00:39.124
A conclusion which would be appropriate to 22 years
00:00:39.191 --> 00:00:42.227
Appropriate to 22 years that he has held in his heart
00:00:42.294 --> 00:00:43.362
That he has held in his heart the horror of losing
00:00:43.429 --> 00:00:44.596
The horror of losing his son joseph.
00:00:44.663 --> 00:00:47.166
His son joseph. so, it's kind of hard to get
00:00:47.232 --> 00:00:48.434
So, it's kind of hard to get happy in five minutes when
00:00:48.500 --> 00:00:49.701
Happy in five minutes when i've held this 22 years.

I've held this 22 years. have more compassion on people
00:00:52.404 --> 00:00:53.939
Have more compassion on people as they change, including you.

As they change, including you. you know how when you drive down
00:01:00.179 --> 00:01:02.047
You know how when you drive down the interstate they have
00:01:02.114 --> 00:01:02.781
The interstate they have weigh stations for truckers?
00:01:02.848 --> 00:01:05.717
Weigh stations for truckers? i wish we could have one
00:01:05.784 --> 00:01:06.518
I wish we could have one of those in the church for
00:01:06.585 --> 00:01:08.854
Of those in the church for christians and we wouldn't be
00:01:08.921 --> 00:01:11.256
Christians and we wouldn't be measuring whether you're down
00:01:11.323 --> 00:01:12.324
Measuring whether you're down three pounds or not.
00:01:12.391 --> 00:01:14.860
Three pounds or not. i would love to know
00:01:14.927 --> 00:01:17.029
I would love to know if you carried too much
00:01:17.096 --> 00:01:18.230
If you carried too much into this room today,
00:01:18.297 --> 00:01:20.966
Into this room today, so that we could unburden you
00:01:21.033 --> 00:01:22.701
So that we could unburden you before you head back out
00:01:22.768 --> 00:01:23.769
Before you head back out because you are dangerous
00:01:23.836 --> 00:01:25.971
Because you are dangerous with too much weight,
00:01:26.038 --> 00:01:29.074
With too much weight, and you're dangerous
00:01:29.141 --> 00:01:29.842
With too little weight.
00:01:29.942 --> 00:01:33.078
With too little weight. there are some responsibilities
00:01:33.145 --> 00:01:34.213
There are some responsibilities that god has placed on you
00:01:34.279 --> 00:01:36.915
That god has placed on you that are the answers
00:01:36.982 --> 00:01:37.749
That are the answers to the prayers that you prayed.
00:01:37.816 --> 00:01:41.687
To the prayers that you prayed. the lord was telling me one time
00:01:41.753 --> 00:01:43.455
The lord was telling me one time that i was complaining about
00:01:43.522 --> 00:01:45.090
That i was complaining about prayers that i had prayed
00:01:45.157 --> 00:01:47.326
Prayers that i had prayed six months ago being answered.
00:01:47.392 --> 00:01:50.429
Six months ago being answered. you follow me?
00:01:50.496 --> 00:01:51.096
You follow me? in other words,
00:01:51.163 --> 00:01:52.030
In other words, he did it and then i got it,
00:01:52.097 --> 00:01:54.900
He did it and then i got it, and it was heavy.
00:01:54.967 --> 00:01:57.936
Nobody ever tells you this,
00:01:58.036 --> 00:01:59.438
Nobody ever tells you this, blessings are heavy.
00:01:59.505 --> 00:02:03.542
Blessings are heavy. blessings are heavy.
00:02:03.609 --> 00:02:04.643
Blessings are heavy. everybody who's praying
00:02:04.710 --> 00:02:05.677
Everybody who's praying god will give you a baby,
00:02:05.744 --> 00:02:07.146
God will give you a baby, blessings are heavy.
00:02:07.212 --> 00:02:09.348
Blessings are heavy. i don't care, 8 pounds,
00:02:09.414 --> 00:02:10.482
I don't care, 8 pounds, 10 pounds, 12 pounds.
00:02:10.549 --> 00:02:13.185
10 pounds, 12 pounds. abbey said the other day,
00:02:13.252 --> 00:02:14.186
Abbey said the other day, she had a dream that she came
00:02:14.253 --> 00:02:15.254
She had a dream that she came out weighing 130 pounds.
00:02:15.320 --> 00:02:17.456
[laughter]
00:02:17.756 --> 00:02:19.558
And the truth of the matter
00:02:20.058 --> 00:02:21.493
And the truth of the matter is that the weight that
00:02:21.560 --> 00:02:22.995
Is that the weight that jacob is carrying --
00:02:23.061 --> 00:02:23.729
Jacob is carrying -- i just wanna talk to you
00:02:23.795 --> 00:02:24.496
I just wanna talk to you a little bit about
00:02:24.563 --> 00:02:25.063
A little bit about it today because,
00:02:25.130 --> 00:02:26.565
It today because, he's carrying not only his
00:02:26.632 --> 00:02:27.432
He's carrying not only his own pain and his uncertainty,
00:02:27.499 --> 00:02:32.137
Own pain and his uncertainty, but the responsibility
00:02:32.204 --> 00:02:34.306
But the responsibility that his name represents
00:02:34.373 --> 00:02:35.340
That his name represents an entire nation.
00:02:35.407 --> 00:02:37.943
An entire nation. talk about weight.
00:02:38.010 --> 00:02:40.579
Talk about weight. talk about heaviness.
00:02:40.646 --> 00:02:42.748
Talk about heaviness. a few weeks ago, i talked about
00:02:42.814 --> 00:02:44.816
A few weeks ago, i talked about how heaviness and happiness
00:02:44.883 --> 00:02:46.985
How heaviness and happiness sit at the same table.
00:02:47.052 --> 00:02:49.054
Sit at the same table. how heaviness and happiness
00:02:49.121 --> 00:02:50.756
How heaviness and happiness live in the same heart.
00:02:50.822 --> 00:02:52.558
Live in the same heart. and if we wait for the heaviness
00:02:52.624 --> 00:02:53.959
And if we wait for the heaviness to go away to be happy,
00:02:54.026 --> 00:02:55.827
To go away to be happy, we will defer our joy
00:02:55.894 --> 00:02:57.196
We will defer our joy and postpone it indefinitely.
00:02:57.262 --> 00:02:59.531
And postpone it indefinitely. waiting on a future time
00:02:59.598 --> 00:03:01.233
Waiting on a future time to praise god,
00:03:01.300 --> 00:03:02.167
To praise god, when all of your kids
00:03:02.234 --> 00:03:03.302
When all of your kids are doing well is a trap.
00:03:03.368 --> 00:03:05.571
Are doing well is a trap. waiting on a future time
00:03:05.637 --> 00:03:07.105
Waiting on a future time to praise god
00:03:07.172 --> 00:03:07.806
To praise god when all your debts
00:03:07.873 --> 00:03:08.574
When all your debts are paid off is a trap.
00:03:08.640 --> 00:03:10.676
Are paid off is a trap. waiting on a future time
00:03:10.742 --> 00:03:12.010
Waiting on a future time to praise god when nothing
00:03:12.077 --> 00:03:13.345
In your body hurts is a trap.
00:03:13.445 --> 00:03:15.714
In your body hurts is a trap. waiting to praise god,
00:03:15.781 --> 00:03:17.349
Waiting to praise god, waiting to enjoy your life,
00:03:17.416 --> 00:03:18.951
Waiting to enjoy your life, waiting to the be thankful,
00:03:19.017 --> 00:03:20.285
Waiting to the be thankful, waiting to smile,
00:03:20.352 --> 00:03:21.787
Waiting to smile, waiting to laugh
00:03:21.853 --> 00:03:22.854
Waiting to laugh until you know how this
00:03:22.921 --> 00:03:24.022
Until you know how this is going to turn out,
00:03:24.089 --> 00:03:25.157
Is going to turn out, waiting until the outcome
00:03:25.224 --> 00:03:27.025
Is clear for you
00:03:27.125 --> 00:03:27.926
Is clear for you to make a commitment
00:03:27.993 --> 00:03:28.927
To make a commitment to serve jesus is a trap.
00:03:28.994 --> 00:03:32.064
To serve jesus is a trap. and that's why jacob had
00:03:32.130 --> 00:03:33.632
And that's why jacob had to set out with a heavy heart.
00:03:33.699 --> 00:03:35.934
To set out with a heavy heart. sometimes, you have
00:03:36.001 --> 00:03:37.502
Sometimes, you have to head there heavy.
00:03:37.569 --> 00:03:39.404
To head there heavy. sometimes you have
00:03:39.471 --> 00:03:40.939
Sometimes you have to move there weighed down.
00:03:41.006 --> 00:03:43.242
To move there weighed down. sometimes you have to take
00:03:43.308 --> 00:03:44.643
Sometimes you have to take a step forward knowing that
00:03:44.710 --> 00:03:46.345
A step forward knowing that i don't even know about
00:03:46.411 --> 00:03:47.212
I don't even know about the next one yet,
00:03:47.279 --> 00:03:48.513
The next one yet, but i will take this one.
00:03:48.580 --> 00:03:50.182
But i will take this one. and so, the process of coming
00:03:50.249 --> 00:03:51.950
And so, the process of coming to the lord is to learn
00:03:52.017 --> 00:03:53.318
To the lord is to learn how to take the weight
00:03:53.385 --> 00:03:55.053
How to take the weight that he gives you.
00:03:55.120 --> 00:03:56.488
That he gives you. but i will remind you today
00:03:56.555 --> 00:03:58.423
But i will remind you today that god cant help you
00:03:58.490 --> 00:03:59.791
That god cant help you carry something that
00:03:59.858 --> 00:04:00.959
Carry something that he never called you to.
00:04:01.026 --> 00:04:05.264
He never called you to. one new testament writer said,
00:04:05.330 --> 00:04:06.832
One new testament writer said, "to lay aside all the sin
00:04:06.898 --> 00:04:09.301
"to lay aside all the sin and the weight that
00:04:09.368 --> 00:04:10.535
And the weight that easily besets you."
00:04:10.602 --> 00:04:12.471
Easily besets you." sometimes i think
00:04:12.537 --> 00:04:13.238
Sometimes i think we're carrying sins
00:04:13.305 --> 00:04:14.506
We're carrying sins that we won't give up,
00:04:14.573 --> 00:04:16.108
That we won't give up, but other times i think
00:04:16.174 --> 00:04:17.142
But other times i think we're carrying weights
00:04:17.209 --> 00:04:18.176
We're carrying weights that aren't exactly sins,
00:04:18.243 --> 00:04:20.112
That aren't exactly sins, but are taking up the space
00:04:20.178 --> 00:04:21.613
But are taking up the space in our life that could be
00:04:21.680 --> 00:04:22.681
In our life that could be used for trusting god,
00:04:22.748 --> 00:04:24.483
Used for trusting god, that could be used for
00:04:24.549 --> 00:04:25.717
That could be used for creative solutions.
00:04:25.784 --> 00:04:27.586
Creative solutions. if the devil wants
00:04:27.653 --> 00:04:28.520
If the devil wants to destroy you,
00:04:28.587 --> 00:04:29.888
To destroy you, he will get your mind
00:04:29.955 --> 00:04:31.056
He will get your mind so full of stuff that
00:04:31.123 --> 00:04:32.424
So full of stuff that does not matter any way,
00:04:32.491 --> 00:04:35.727
Does not matter any way, to get you moved off of what
00:04:35.794 --> 00:04:37.462
To get you moved off of what you are uniquely called to do...
00:04:37.529 --> 00:04:39.531
[applause]
00:04:39.831 --> 00:04:41.566
And to realize that jacob,
00:04:41.933 --> 00:04:44.002
And to realize that jacob, in this moment
00:04:44.069 --> 00:04:44.870
In this moment is receiving good news,
00:04:44.936 --> 00:04:46.872
Is receiving good news, but he is still grieving
00:04:46.938 --> 00:04:48.940
But he is still grieving what he's been through.
00:04:49.007 --> 00:04:50.909
What he's been through. receiving good news,
00:04:50.976 --> 00:04:53.879
But very anx-cited
00:04:53.979 --> 00:04:55.881
But very anx-cited about where he's going,
00:04:55.947 --> 00:04:57.683
About where he's going, may give you a little
00:04:57.749 --> 00:04:59.384
May give you a little compassion for yourself
00:04:59.451 --> 00:05:01.286
Compassion for yourself that i have this weight.
00:05:01.353 --> 00:05:03.822
That i have this weight. it's not that my heart is hard,
00:05:03.889 --> 00:05:06.358
It's not that my heart is hard, it's that it's heavy.
00:05:06.425 --> 00:05:09.961
It's that it's heavy. and as he is considering this,
00:05:10.028 --> 00:05:11.663
And as he is considering this, i mean, picture it.
00:05:11.730 --> 00:05:12.931
I mean, picture it. he has to decide,
00:05:12.998 --> 00:05:15.500
He has to decide, "am i going to believe
00:05:15.567 --> 00:05:17.235
"am i going to believe that this is possible?"
00:05:17.302 --> 00:05:18.370
That this is possible?" just like you are deciding,
00:05:18.437 --> 00:05:19.671
Dove's nest, "am i going
00:05:19.771 --> 00:05:21.139
Dove's nest, "am i going to believe that
00:05:21.206 --> 00:05:22.007
To believe that my recovery is possible."
00:05:22.074 --> 00:05:23.642
My recovery is possible." just like you are having
00:05:23.709 --> 00:05:24.976
Just like you are having to decide, college student,
00:05:25.043 --> 00:05:26.745
To decide, college student, "is it really worth it
00:05:26.812 --> 00:05:28.246
"is it really worth it to live for jesus?"
00:05:28.313 --> 00:05:29.181
To live for jesus?" just like you are
00:05:29.247 --> 00:05:30.048
Just like you are having to decide in this
00:05:30.115 --> 00:05:31.550
Having to decide in this season of your life,
00:05:31.616 --> 00:05:32.884
Season of your life, "am i going to call a therapist
00:05:32.951 --> 00:05:34.653
"am i going to call a therapist and start to work on this
00:05:34.720 --> 00:05:36.021
And start to work on this so that i don't just
00:05:36.088 --> 00:05:36.988
So that i don't just carry this forth
00:05:37.055 --> 00:05:38.457
Carry this forth as my template for
00:05:38.523 --> 00:05:39.691
As my template for the rest of my life?"
00:05:39.758 --> 00:05:41.293
The rest of my life?" and as he is trying to decide
00:05:41.360 --> 00:05:43.595
And as he is trying to decide whether to leave what
00:05:43.662 --> 00:05:44.863
Whether to leave what is familiar and walk in what
00:05:44.930 --> 00:05:47.132
Is familiar and walk in what is fearful and point himself in
00:05:47.199 --> 00:05:50.168
Is fearful and point himself in the direction of the unexpected
00:05:50.235 --> 00:05:52.237
The direction of the unexpected pregnant possibility,
00:05:52.304 --> 00:05:54.573
Pregnant possibility, that god has answered
00:05:54.639 --> 00:05:55.340
That god has answered his prayers that for 22 years,
00:05:55.407 --> 00:05:57.442
His prayers that for 22 years, laid dormant, not dead.
00:05:57.509 --> 00:05:59.811
The bible says in verse 27,
00:05:59.911 --> 00:06:03.181
That, as he was
00:06:03.248 --> 00:06:03.882
Carrying this weight,
00:06:03.949 --> 00:06:05.717
Everybody say, "weight."
00:06:05.784 --> 00:06:07.085
>> congregation: weight.
00:06:07.152 --> 00:06:08.053
>> come on, say it louder, say,
00:06:08.120 --> 00:06:09.020
"weight."
00:06:09.087 --> 00:06:09.654
>> congregation: weight.
00:06:09.721 --> 00:06:10.589
>> i want you to say it as loud
00:06:10.655 --> 00:06:12.457
As it is heavy to you.
00:06:12.524 --> 00:06:13.558
One, two, three.
00:06:13.625 --> 00:06:14.893
>> congregation: weight.
00:06:14.993 --> 00:06:15.627
>> yeah, the crushing
00:06:15.727 --> 00:06:16.728
>> yeah, the crushing expectations that
00:06:16.795 --> 00:06:17.996
Expectations that you had of yourself.
00:06:18.063 --> 00:06:18.997
You had of yourself. the crushing disappointment
00:06:19.064 --> 00:06:20.599
The crushing disappointment of what didn't happen.
00:06:20.665 --> 00:06:21.533
Of what didn't happen. and some of you are like,
00:06:21.600 --> 00:06:22.467
And some of you are like, "i'm doing good today."
00:06:22.534 --> 00:06:23.301
"i'm doing good today." weigh in next week,
00:06:23.368 --> 00:06:24.269
We'll check you next week.
00:06:24.369 --> 00:06:25.804
We'll check you next week. something can happen between -
00:06:25.871 --> 00:06:26.738
Something can happen between - you know, something can
00:06:26.805 --> 00:06:27.439
You know, something can get on --
00:06:27.506 --> 00:06:28.073
Get on -- something can get on your truck
00:06:28.140 --> 00:06:29.341
Something can get on your truck this week that could make
00:06:29.408 --> 00:06:30.575
This week that could make you break down in tears,
00:06:30.642 --> 00:06:32.210
You break down in tears, and not be so arrogant.
00:06:32.277 --> 00:06:33.278
And not be so arrogant. so, never judge somebody because
00:06:33.345 --> 00:06:35.380
So, never judge somebody because of what they are carrying.
00:06:35.447 --> 00:06:38.316
One side note, one side note.
00:06:38.417 --> 00:06:40.652
One side note, one side note. i met a man a year ago
00:06:40.719 --> 00:06:42.287
I met a man a year ago and when i met him i said,
00:06:42.354 --> 00:06:43.555
And when i met him i said, "he is so arrogant."
00:06:43.622 --> 00:06:44.823
"he is so arrogant." all he did was
00:06:44.890 --> 00:06:45.457
All he did was talk about himself,
00:06:45.524 --> 00:06:46.291
Talk about himself, i've never met somebody
00:06:46.358 --> 00:06:47.926
I've never met somebody so arrogant.
00:06:47.993 --> 00:06:48.493
So arrogant. i walked away and thought,
00:06:48.560 --> 00:06:49.494
I walked away and thought, "i have discernment."
00:06:49.561 --> 00:06:52.197
"i have discernment." i saw him again
00:06:52.264 --> 00:06:52.964
A year later, he said,
00:06:53.064 --> 00:06:55.100
A year later, he said, "i wanted to tell you something,
00:06:55.167 --> 00:06:55.934
"i wanted to tell you something, the first time you met me,
00:06:56.001 --> 00:06:57.035
The first time you met me, you couldn't have known this,
00:06:57.102 --> 00:06:58.670
You couldn't have known this, but i had just received news
00:06:58.737 --> 00:06:59.704
But i had just received news the day before
00:06:59.771 --> 00:07:00.572
The day before that i lost my job.
00:07:00.639 --> 00:07:02.140
That i lost my job. i had been throwing up
00:07:02.207 --> 00:07:03.175
I had been throwing up in a hotel room all night,
00:07:03.241 --> 00:07:04.743
In a hotel room all night, so i apologize if i came across
00:07:04.810 --> 00:07:06.445
So i apologize if i came across a certain way."
00:07:06.511 --> 00:07:07.212
A certain way." i'm like, "you did.
00:07:07.279 --> 00:07:09.848
I'm like, "you did. you did."
00:07:09.915 --> 00:07:11.683
You did." and isn't it crazy
00:07:11.750 --> 00:07:13.218
And isn't it crazy that i couldn't even
00:07:13.285 --> 00:07:14.019
That i couldn't even see who he really was,
00:07:14.085 --> 00:07:16.922
See who he really was, 'cause all i could see
00:07:16.988 --> 00:07:17.856
'cause all i could see was what he carried.
00:07:17.923 --> 00:07:21.726
Was what he carried. tell your neighbor,
00:07:21.793 --> 00:07:22.327
Tell your neighbor, "i'm really a good person."
00:07:22.394 --> 00:07:23.595
"i'm really a good person." >> congregation: i'm really
00:07:23.662 --> 00:07:24.329
>> congregation: i'm really a good person.
00:07:24.396 --> 00:07:25.464
A good person. >> if you catch me
00:07:25.530 --> 00:07:26.231
>> if you catch me at the right time,
00:07:26.298 --> 00:07:26.798
At the right time, i'll buy you some ice cream.
00:07:26.865 --> 00:07:27.799
[laughter]
00:07:28.133 --> 00:07:30.769
You see, the lord is speaking
00:07:31.970 --> 00:07:32.804
You see, the lord is speaking to jacob while he's trying
00:07:32.871 --> 00:07:33.872
To jacob while he's trying to move forward as israel.
00:07:33.939 --> 00:07:36.541
To move forward as israel. i said, "the lord is speaking
00:07:36.608 --> 00:07:37.509
I said, "the lord is speaking to jacob while he's trying
00:07:37.576 --> 00:07:38.376
To jacob while he's trying to move forward as israel."
00:07:38.443 --> 00:07:41.379
To move forward as israel." and he's trying to decide,
00:07:41.446 --> 00:07:42.447
And he's trying to decide, do i believe --
00:07:42.514 --> 00:07:43.114
Do i believe -- how would you
00:07:43.181 --> 00:07:43.915
How would you believe these boys?
00:07:43.982 --> 00:07:46.451
Believe these boys? do you remember what they did?
00:07:46.518 --> 00:07:47.519
Do you remember what they did? they brought joseph's coat
00:07:47.586 --> 00:07:49.988
They brought joseph's coat to their dad, and said,
00:07:50.055 --> 00:07:51.289
To their dad, and said, "is this the coat
00:07:51.356 --> 00:07:51.990
"is this the coat you gave joseph?"
00:07:52.057 --> 00:07:52.624
You gave joseph?" 'cause they were
00:07:52.691 --> 00:07:53.391
'cause they were always jealous of him.
00:07:53.458 --> 00:07:54.860
Always jealous of him. and they dipped it in blood
00:07:54.926 --> 00:07:55.827
And they dipped it in blood to make it look like he was
00:07:55.894 --> 00:07:56.795
To make it look like he was mauled by animals, and he was,
00:07:56.862 --> 00:07:58.263
Mauled by animals, and he was, they were the animals.
00:07:58.330 --> 00:08:00.599
They were the animals. now, he was on his way
00:08:00.665 --> 00:08:01.333
Now, he was on his way to egypt and god was using
00:08:01.399 --> 00:08:02.467
To egypt and god was using all of that sovereignly,
00:08:02.534 --> 00:08:03.435
All of that sovereignly, but in that moment
00:08:03.502 --> 00:08:04.069
But in that moment all jacob felt was sadness.
00:08:04.135 --> 00:08:06.638
All jacob felt was sadness. and he kept that coat
00:08:06.705 --> 00:08:09.307
For 22 years, that's all
00:08:09.407 --> 00:08:11.243
For 22 years, that's all he had left of his son.
00:08:11.309 --> 00:08:13.178
He had left of his son. and now, these same boys,
00:08:13.245 --> 00:08:14.145
And now, these same boys, they've gone down to egypt,
00:08:14.212 --> 00:08:15.213
They've gone down to egypt, they found out there's food,
00:08:15.280 --> 00:08:16.114
They found out there's food, there's gonna be five
00:08:16.181 --> 00:08:16.781
There's gonna be five more years of famine
00:08:16.848 --> 00:08:17.516
More years of famine and joseph says,
00:08:17.582 --> 00:08:18.250
And joseph says, "come, i got you.
00:08:18.316 --> 00:08:19.150
"come, i got you. when you get here, i got you."
00:08:19.217 --> 00:08:20.185
When you get here, i got you." so, they go back to canaan
00:08:20.252 --> 00:08:22.721
So, they go back to canaan and they say,
00:08:22.787 --> 00:08:23.655
And they say, "dad, we gotta go.
00:08:23.722 --> 00:08:25.156
"dad, we gotta go. joseph's alive,
00:08:25.223 --> 00:08:26.324
Joseph's alive, he's gonna take care of us."
00:08:26.391 --> 00:08:27.993
He's gonna take care of us." and there's hope
00:08:28.059 --> 00:08:28.627
And there's hope in his heart and there's
00:08:28.693 --> 00:08:30.028
In his heart and there's heaviness in his heart.
00:08:30.095 --> 00:08:31.463
Heaviness in his heart. and the weight almost --
00:08:31.530 --> 00:08:33.365
And the weight almost -- watch this, it almost
00:08:33.431 --> 00:08:35.100
Watch this, it almost keeps him from going.
00:08:35.166 --> 00:08:38.937
I love this word in the bible.
00:08:39.037 --> 00:08:40.672
Put up verse 27,
00:08:40.772 --> 00:08:42.407
Put up verse 27, "but when they told him
00:08:42.474 --> 00:08:46.244
"but when they told him the words of joseph,
00:08:46.311 --> 00:08:48.513
The words of joseph, which he had said to them."
00:08:48.580 --> 00:08:51.116
Which he had said to them." now, get ready
00:08:51.182 --> 00:08:52.284
To shout a little bit,
00:08:52.384 --> 00:08:54.286
To shout a little bit, 'cause this part that comes next
00:08:54.352 --> 00:08:55.420
'cause this part that comes next is really important.
00:08:55.487 --> 00:08:56.988
Is really important. it was one thing
00:08:57.055 --> 00:08:58.156
It was one thing to hear their words,
00:08:58.223 --> 00:09:00.091
To hear their words, 'cause they've said a lot
00:09:00.158 --> 00:09:00.859
'cause they've said a lot of things and they've
00:09:00.926 --> 00:09:01.660
Of things and they've lied about it.
00:09:01.726 --> 00:09:03.161
Lied about it. it is one thing
00:09:03.228 --> 00:09:03.929
It is one thing to believe people,
00:09:03.995 --> 00:09:05.797
To believe people, it is one thing
00:09:05.864 --> 00:09:06.531
It is one thing to believe a preacher,
00:09:06.598 --> 00:09:08.333
To believe a preacher, but it is another thing
00:09:08.400 --> 00:09:10.502
But it is another thing when god gives you evidence
00:09:10.569 --> 00:09:13.371
Of his presence
00:09:13.471 --> 00:09:15.240
Of his presence that you can't deny.
00:09:15.307 --> 00:09:17.709
That you can't deny. and i believe i'm talking
00:09:17.776 --> 00:09:18.543
And i believe i'm talking to about 225 people today
00:09:18.610 --> 00:09:20.946
To about 225 people today somewhere in this room
00:09:21.012 --> 00:09:22.380
Somewhere in this room at ballantyne.
00:09:22.447 --> 00:09:23.081
[applause]
00:09:23.381 --> 00:09:25.450
That your heart
00:09:25.884 --> 00:09:26.318
That your heart has been heavy,
00:09:26.384 --> 00:09:26.885
Has been heavy, but you've got evidence
00:09:26.952 --> 00:09:28.954
That god is not quite
00:09:29.054 --> 00:09:30.322
That god is not quite through with you yet.
00:09:30.388 --> 00:09:33.358
Through with you yet. and now, the devil
00:09:33.425 --> 00:09:33.992
And now, the devil would love for you
00:09:34.059 --> 00:09:34.759
Would love for you to look past the evidence.
00:09:34.826 --> 00:09:35.961
To look past the evidence. but watch this, the bible says
00:09:36.027 --> 00:09:38.163
But watch this, the bible says that he was trying to believe,
00:09:38.229 --> 00:09:40.231
That he was trying to believe, trying to take it in,
00:09:40.298 --> 00:09:41.766
Trying to take it in, trying to wake up his heart.
00:09:41.833 --> 00:09:43.101
Trying to wake up his heart. trying to revive his spirit,
00:09:43.168 --> 00:09:45.203
Trying to revive his spirit, trying to convince himself,
00:09:45.270 --> 00:09:47.005
Trying to convince himself, trying to get a move on,
00:09:47.072 --> 00:09:48.540
Trying to get a move on, trying to make a plan, trying --
00:09:48.607 --> 00:09:50.642
Trying to make a plan, trying -- but his heart was numb
00:09:50.709 --> 00:09:51.643
But his heart was numb and he couldn't move.
00:09:51.710 --> 00:09:52.377
Now, give me my verse,
00:09:52.477 --> 00:09:53.111
Now, give me my verse, "when he heard
00:09:53.178 --> 00:09:54.713
"when he heard the words of joseph,
00:09:54.779 --> 00:09:56.748
The words of joseph, which he had said to them,"
00:09:56.815 --> 00:09:58.016
Which he had said to them," secondhand, "and when
00:09:58.083 --> 00:10:01.753
Secondhand, "and when he saw the wagons."
00:10:01.820 --> 00:10:05.757
He saw the wagons." that's the second word
00:10:05.824 --> 00:10:06.725
That's the second word i want you to write down
00:10:06.791 --> 00:10:08.093
I want you to write down is wagons,
00:10:08.159 --> 00:10:10.595
'cause i got weight,
00:10:10.695 --> 00:10:12.163
'cause i got weight, i'm going through some things.
00:10:12.230 --> 00:10:14.232
I'm going through some things. i've got weight, i've got
00:10:14.299 --> 00:10:15.900
I've got weight, i've got unanswered questions.
00:10:15.967 --> 00:10:17.569
Unanswered questions. i've got weight.
00:10:17.636 --> 00:10:18.903
I've got weight. there are some people
00:10:18.970 --> 00:10:19.738
There are some people who have disappointed me.
00:10:19.804 --> 00:10:21.373
Who have disappointed me. i've got weight.
00:10:21.439 --> 00:10:22.207
I've got weight. somebody say,
00:10:22.273 --> 00:10:22.774
Somebody say, "i've got weight...
00:10:22.841 --> 00:10:23.708
"i've got weight... >> congregation: i've got
00:10:23.775 --> 00:10:24.242
>> congregation: i've got weight...
00:10:24.309 --> 00:10:24.809
Weight... >> but i've also got wagons."
00:10:24.876 --> 00:10:26.611
>> but i've also got wagons." >> congregation: but i've
00:10:26.678 --> 00:10:27.212
>> congregation: but i've also got wagons.

00:16:11.189 --> 00:16:12.090
And i would love to read the whole chapter to you
00:16:12.156 --> 00:16:12.857
The whole chapter to you where it lists all
00:16:12.924 --> 00:16:13.491
Where it lists all the people he had to take
00:16:13.558 --> 00:16:14.359
The people he had to take because he would start
00:16:14.425 --> 00:16:15.093
Because he would start to feel how weighty it is.
00:16:15.159 --> 00:16:17.295
To feel how weighty it is. and he would start to identify,
00:16:17.362 --> 00:16:18.496
And he would start to identify, he has to take them,
00:16:18.563 --> 00:16:19.831
He has to take them, their children
00:16:19.897 --> 00:16:20.498
Their children and some grandchildren,
00:16:20.565 --> 00:16:21.532
And some grandchildren, 'cause he's 130, and he has
00:16:21.599 --> 00:16:22.967
'cause he's 130, and he has accumulated a lot.
00:16:23.034 --> 00:16:24.702
Accumulated a lot. now, they're on
00:16:24.769 --> 00:16:25.570
Now, they're on there with animals,
00:16:25.636 --> 00:16:26.237
There with animals, they're on there with people,
00:16:26.304 --> 00:16:27.171
They're on there with people, they're on there with people
00:16:27.238 --> 00:16:27.939
They're on there with people that act like animals.
00:16:28.006 --> 00:16:29.007
[laughter]
00:16:29.340 --> 00:16:30.041
I did not mean to describe
00:16:30.308 --> 00:16:31.509
I did not mean to describe your family vacation.
00:16:31.576 --> 00:16:32.477
[laughter]
00:16:32.810 --> 00:16:33.945
But let's make this real,
00:16:34.445 --> 00:16:35.213
Let's make this --
00:16:35.313 --> 00:16:35.813
Let's make this -- let's just don't
00:16:35.880 --> 00:16:36.381
Let's just don't leave this in bc,
00:16:36.447 --> 00:16:37.382
Leave this in bc, let's bring it to right now.
00:16:37.448 --> 00:16:39.450
Let's bring it to right now. let's bring this to your life.
00:16:39.517 --> 00:16:41.252
Let's bring this to your life. he's on the wagons,
00:16:41.319 --> 00:16:43.388
He's on the wagons, but he's still worried.
00:16:43.454 --> 00:16:44.222
But he's still worried. and i think this is the part
00:16:44.288 --> 00:16:45.423
And i think this is the part that maybe can help you

I don't really preach with the intention for you
00:16:55.299 --> 00:16:55.967
With the intention for you to worship god sunday.
00:16:56.034 --> 00:16:58.569
To worship god sunday. i want you to worship wednesday,
00:16:58.636 --> 00:17:01.506
I want you to worship wednesday, when it's weighty,
00:17:01.572 --> 00:17:03.174
When it's weighty, when you are on your way
00:17:03.241 --> 00:17:05.143
When you are on your way and you're worried.
00:17:05.209 --> 00:17:06.344
And you're worried. so, in genesis 46:1,
00:17:06.411 --> 00:17:10.348
So, in genesis 46:1, it looks like
00:17:10.415 --> 00:17:11.115
It looks like they're going straight
00:17:11.182 --> 00:17:11.816
They're going straight to egypt to get the food because

To egypt to get the food because that's where the food is,
00:17:13.351 --> 00:17:13.985
That's where joseph is.
00:17:14.085 --> 00:17:15.753
That's where joseph is. "but israel,"
00:17:15.820 --> 00:17:17.622
"but israel," the better part of jacob,
00:17:17.688 --> 00:17:19.857
The better part of jacob, "took his journey with
00:17:19.924 --> 00:17:22.226
"took his journey with all that he had,"
00:17:22.293 --> 00:17:22.960
All that he had," including jacob.
00:17:23.027 --> 00:17:25.496
I'mma say it again.
00:17:25.596 --> 00:17:27.498
I'mma say it again. your silence does not intimidate

If you get a promotion, i hope you're a good boss

I hope you're a good boss because you bring you with you.
00:17:40.078 --> 00:17:42.680
Because you bring you with you. if you get a partner,

If you get a partner, you bring you with you.

If you have kids,

If you have kids, you bring you with you.
00:17:48.219 --> 00:17:50.154
You bring you with you. and all they are
00:17:50.221 --> 00:17:50.988
And all they are going to do is show you,
00:17:51.055 --> 00:17:52.290
Going to do is show you, you in a funhouse mirror.
00:17:52.356 --> 00:17:54.158

You bring you with you.
00:17:56.194 --> 00:17:57.962
You bring you with you. so, when it says israel took
00:17:58.029 --> 00:17:59.697
So, when it says israel took his journey and the people say,
00:17:59.764 --> 00:18:01.165
His journey and the people say, "enjoy the journey."
00:18:01.232 --> 00:18:03.167
"enjoy the journey." i hate that cliché.
00:18:03.234 --> 00:18:04.535
I hate that cliché. how am i suppose to enjoy
00:18:04.602 --> 00:18:06.237
How am i suppose to enjoy the journey with 70 jokers
00:18:06.304 --> 00:18:08.706
The journey with 70 jokers that i can't trust,
00:18:08.773 --> 00:18:10.208
That i can't trust, with a land that i'm headed
00:18:10.274 --> 00:18:11.609
With a land that i'm headed to that i have never seen,
00:18:11.676 --> 00:18:13.678
To that i have never seen, that i cannot research
00:18:13.744 --> 00:18:15.046
That i can't even really
00:18:15.146 --> 00:18:16.114
That i can't even really understand what it's going
00:18:16.180 --> 00:18:17.148
Understand what it's going to be like with the sadness
00:18:17.215 --> 00:18:19.150
Of past following me here?
00:18:19.250 --> 00:18:21.052
Of past following me here? "so israel took his journey
00:18:21.119 --> 00:18:22.420
"so israel took his journey with all that he had
00:18:22.487 --> 00:18:23.154
With all that he had and came to beersheba."
00:18:23.221 --> 00:18:26.023
And came to beersheba." beersheba is on the border
00:18:26.090 --> 00:18:28.226
Beersheba is on the border of southern canaan.
00:18:28.292 --> 00:18:30.228
Of southern canaan. what does that mean?
00:18:30.294 --> 00:18:30.828
What does that mean? it's right there on
00:18:30.895 --> 00:18:32.296
It's right there on the edge of going to egypt.
00:18:32.363 --> 00:18:34.599
If he gets past beersheba,
00:18:34.699 --> 00:18:36.434
If he gets past beersheba, he's going all the way.
00:18:36.501 --> 00:18:38.136
He's going all the way. so, he stops there and watch
00:18:38.202 --> 00:18:40.271
So, he stops there and watch what he does when he stops,
00:18:40.338 --> 00:18:41.806
What he does when he stops, he takes some of those animals
00:18:41.873 --> 00:18:43.708
He takes some of those animals that were in that wagon,
00:18:43.774 --> 00:18:45.510
That were in that wagon, that would've represented
00:18:45.576 --> 00:18:46.944
That would've represented something that
00:18:47.011 --> 00:18:47.645
He accumulated in canaan,
00:18:47.745 --> 00:18:49.280
He accumulated in canaan, and he offered sacrifices
00:18:49.347 --> 00:18:52.316
And he offered sacrifices to the god of his father,
00:18:52.383 --> 00:18:54.652
To the god of his father, isaac."
00:18:54.719 --> 00:18:55.253
Isaac." next verse, "and god spoke."
00:18:55.319 --> 00:18:59.757
Next verse, "and god spoke." verse 1, he offered
00:18:59.824 --> 00:19:01.826
Verse 1, he offered sacrifices and god spoke.
00:19:01.893 --> 00:19:08.566
He gave god something
00:19:08.666 --> 00:19:11.969
He gave god something and god gave him something.
00:19:12.036 --> 00:19:15.506
And god gave him something. i am not saying that
00:19:15.573 --> 00:19:16.774
I am not saying that this is a transaction,
00:19:16.841 --> 00:19:18.543
This is a transaction, but it is a fact.
00:19:18.609 --> 00:19:20.311
But it is a fact. worship is heaven's strategy
00:19:20.378 --> 00:19:23.614
Worship is heaven's strategy to unburden the human heart.
00:19:23.681 --> 00:19:26.851
[applause]
00:19:27.151 --> 00:19:28.553
Worship is heaven's strategy
00:19:29.020 --> 00:19:33.024
Worship is heaven's strategy to see you with
00:19:33.090 --> 00:19:34.091
To see you with your messed up mind,
00:19:34.158 --> 00:19:35.526
Your messed up mind, to see you with
00:19:35.593 --> 00:19:36.294
To see you with your jacked up habits,
00:19:36.360 --> 00:19:37.962
Your jacked up habits, to see you with your
00:19:38.029 --> 00:19:38.863
To see you with your cluttered state of mind,
00:19:38.930 --> 00:19:40.698
Cluttered state of mind, to see you in all of your
00:19:40.765 --> 00:19:43.000
Burdenedness and to say,
00:19:43.100 --> 00:19:45.102
Burdenedness and to say, "let me lighten your load."
00:19:45.169 --> 00:19:49.340
And when he offered sacrifices,
00:19:49.440 --> 00:19:53.644
And when he offered sacrifices, god spoke and said,
00:19:53.711 --> 00:19:55.713
God spoke and said, "jacob, jacob."
00:19:55.780 --> 00:19:58.349
"jacob, jacob." and he said, "here i am."
00:19:58.416 --> 00:19:59.550
And he said, "here i am." i'm here, i'm anx-cited
00:19:59.617 --> 00:20:03.888
I'm here, i'm anx-cited about this journey.
00:20:03.955 --> 00:20:06.657
About this journey. and verse 3 says,
00:20:06.724 --> 00:20:08.826
And verse 3 says, "then the lord said,
00:20:08.893 --> 00:20:09.660
"then the lord said, 'i am god.'"
00:20:09.727 --> 00:20:11.429
'i am god.'" and aren't you glad that
00:20:11.495 --> 00:20:12.330
And aren't you glad that both of those are true?
00:20:12.396 --> 00:20:14.865
You're still jacob,
00:20:14.966 --> 00:20:17.168
You're still jacob, but he's still god.
00:20:17.235 --> 00:20:19.937

You need to worship when you feel the weight.
00:20:28.412 --> 00:20:31.515
When you feel the weight. pull the wagon over and worship.
00:20:31.582 --> 00:20:36.320
Pull the wagon over and worship. "what do you mean, pastor steve?
00:20:36.387 --> 00:20:37.755

Moses, moses, i am god.
00:21:08.219 --> 00:21:09.387
I am god. i don't care
00:21:09.453 --> 00:21:09.954
I don't care who you think you are,
00:21:10.021 --> 00:21:10.988
Who you think you are, or who you're not.
00:21:11.055 --> 00:21:11.689
Or who you're not. you're not bound by any of that.

"i am god, the god of your father."
00:21:14.225 --> 00:21:14.992
The god of your father." by the way, isaac made
00:21:15.059 --> 00:21:16.560
An offering in beersheba too,
00:21:16.661 --> 00:21:18.562
An offering in beersheba too, so did abraham.
00:21:18.629 --> 00:21:19.764
So did abraham. this was a significant
00:21:19.830 --> 00:21:21.165
This was a significant place for jacob.
00:21:21.232 --> 00:21:23.534
Place for jacob. but he was having to do
00:21:23.601 --> 00:21:24.602
But he was having to do something his fathers never did.
00:21:24.669 --> 00:21:26.904
Something his fathers never did. and when you come to a place
00:21:26.971 --> 00:21:28.039
And when you come to a place where you've never seen
00:21:28.105 --> 00:21:28.839
Where you've never seen a model for it,
00:21:28.906 --> 00:21:30.207
A model for it, when you come to a place
00:21:30.274 --> 00:21:31.375
When you come to a place where you've never seen
00:21:31.442 --> 00:21:32.276
Where you've never seen an example for it,
00:21:32.343 --> 00:21:33.811
An example for it, when you've come to a place
00:21:33.878 --> 00:21:34.979
When you've come to a place where you didn't have
00:21:35.046 --> 00:21:35.646
Where you didn't have anybody to show you the way --
00:21:35.713 --> 00:21:36.947
Anybody to show you the way -- when you come to a place
00:21:37.014 --> 00:21:38.683
When you come to a place and you don't know how,
00:21:38.749 --> 00:21:41.419
Worship, worship,
00:21:41.519 --> 00:21:46.390
Worship, worship, and the lord will
00:21:46.457 --> 00:21:48.592
And the lord will lighten your load.
00:21:48.659 --> 00:21:51.529
Lighten your load. i'm not talking about sing,
00:21:51.595 --> 00:21:53.631
I'm not talking about sing, he didn't sing, he sacrificed.
00:21:53.698 --> 00:21:56.901
He didn't sing, he sacrificed. true worship is you giving up
00:21:56.967 --> 00:21:58.903
True worship is you giving up something that you
00:21:58.969 --> 00:22:00.438
Something that you weren't meant to carry.
00:22:00.504 --> 00:22:02.506
Weren't meant to carry. the lord will lighten your load
00:22:02.573 --> 00:22:04.241
The lord will lighten your load before you go forward into
00:22:04.308 --> 00:22:05.810
Before you go forward into this next thing,
00:22:05.876 --> 00:22:07.445
This next thing, i see you giving up what
00:22:07.511 --> 00:22:08.946
I see you giving up what people think about it.
00:22:09.013 --> 00:22:10.314

What people think about it, and you get serious about what
00:22:14.852 --> 00:22:15.653

That's worship. some of us cannot move
00:22:18.989 --> 00:22:20.091
Some of us cannot move forward in strength because
00:22:20.157 --> 00:22:21.292
Forward in strength because we are too stuck in status.
00:22:21.359 --> 00:22:24.328
