  • But if you hold it too tight, there may be more that god wants

  • Through this? why is god letting it
  • 00:07:08.280 --> 00:07:09.080
  • Why is god letting it be like this?
  • 00:07:09.147 --> 00:07:09.915
  • Be like this? why is god allowing this
  • 00:07:09.981 --> 00:07:11.149
  • Why is god allowing this season in my life?
  • 00:07:11.216 --> 00:07:12.217
  • Season in my life? it's the crossing.
  • 00:07:12.284 --> 00:07:14.553
  • It's the crossing.
  • 00:07:14.653 --> 00:07:16.421
  • It's the crossing. because god knew they
  • 00:07:16.488 --> 00:07:17.422
  • Because god knew they were too weak for war,
  • 00:07:17.489 --> 00:07:19.858
  • Were too weak for war, so he led them to water.
  • 00:07:19.925 --> 00:07:25.630
  • So he led them to water. he knew they were too weak for
  • 00:07:25.697 --> 00:07:26.798
  • He knew they were too weak for war so he led them to water.
  • 00:07:26.865 --> 00:07:30.435
  • God knew that even though
  • 00:07:30.535 --> 00:07:31.636
  • God knew that even though pharaoh had temporarily
  • 00:07:31.703 --> 00:07:32.504
  • Pharaoh had temporarily let them go he was
  • 00:07:32.571 --> 00:07:33.672
  • Let them go he was coming back to get them.
  • 00:07:33.738 --> 00:07:35.874
  • Coming back to get them. for the bible says that
  • 00:07:35.941 --> 00:07:36.942
  • For the bible says that no sooner had they got to that
  • 00:07:37.008 --> 00:07:38.477
  • No sooner had they got to that place at the red sea then
  • 00:07:38.543 --> 00:07:40.045
  • Place at the red sea then the chariots of pharaoh begin
  • 00:07:40.111 --> 00:07:42.180
  • The chariots of pharaoh begin to click clack behind them.
  • 00:07:42.247 --> 00:07:45.417
  • To click clack behind them. and as those chariots
  • 00:07:45.484 --> 00:07:47.018
  • And as those chariots begin to make their sound
  • 00:07:47.085 --> 00:07:48.487
  • Begin to make their sound and the engines of the enemy
  • 00:07:48.553 --> 00:07:50.255
  • And the engines of the enemy began to rev, the bible says
  • 00:07:50.322 --> 00:07:51.890
  • Began to rev, the bible says in exodus 14:15,
  • 00:07:51.957 --> 00:07:53.825
  • In exodus 14:15, that they cried out
  • 00:07:53.892 --> 00:07:56.161
  • That they cried out to the lord and to moses.
  • 00:07:56.228 --> 00:07:57.896
  • To the lord and to moses. "why did you bring us
  • 00:07:57.963 --> 00:07:58.930
  • "why did you bring us out here to die?"
  • 00:07:58.997 --> 00:08:01.700
  • Out here to die?" no, we're going
  • 00:08:01.766 --> 00:08:03.869
  • No, we're going across this water.
  • 00:08:03.935 --> 00:08:07.138
  • Across this water. we're going across this water
  • 00:08:07.205 --> 00:08:09.107
  • We're going across this water because what is against you
  • 00:08:09.174 --> 00:08:10.375
  • Because what is against you is more than what's with you.
  • 00:08:10.442 --> 00:08:13.144
  • Is more than what's with you. and if you fight this enemy
  • 00:08:13.211 --> 00:08:14.980
  • And if you fight this enemy hand to hand you will die.
  • 00:08:15.046 --> 00:08:17.682
  • Hand to hand you will die. but god knew something
  • 00:08:17.749 --> 00:08:18.950
  • But god knew something very strategic,
  • 00:08:19.017 --> 00:08:20.118
  • Very strategic, now watch this,
  • 00:08:20.185 --> 00:08:20.852
  • Now watch this, this is another reason
  • 00:08:20.919 --> 00:08:22.320
  • This is another reason that i love god,
  • 00:08:22.387 --> 00:08:23.955
  • That i love god, is because for god this
  • 00:08:24.022 --> 00:08:26.825
  • Is because for god this is the strategic route even
  • 00:08:26.892 --> 00:08:29.194
  • Is the strategic route even if it's not the short route.
  • 00:08:29.261 --> 00:08:31.796
  • If it's not the short route. and so, they're standing
  • 00:08:31.863 --> 00:08:32.664
  • And so, they're standing at a red sea,
  • 00:08:32.731 --> 00:08:33.365
  • At a red sea, and this is where it all
  • 00:08:33.431 --> 00:08:34.232
  • And this is where it all comes together for me.
  • 00:08:34.299 --> 00:08:35.567
  • Comes together for me. the red sea is a problem,
  • 00:08:35.634 --> 00:08:41.573
  • The red sea is a problem, but they are praying a prayer.
  • 00:08:41.640 --> 00:08:46.211
  • But they are praying a prayer. so god leads them to a problem,
  • 00:08:46.278 --> 00:08:51.283
  • So god leads them to a problem, in answer to a prayer.
  • 00:08:51.349 --> 00:08:53.785
  • In answer to a prayer. is this the best sermon
  • 00:08:53.852 --> 00:08:55.153
  • Is this the best sermon i preached all year
  • 00:08:55.220 --> 00:08:57.055
  • I preached all year or am i just caffeinated?
  • 00:08:57.122 --> 00:08:58.823
  • [applause and cheering]
  • 00:08:59.157 --> 00:09:02.928
  • So, i be like,
  • 00:09:03.461 --> 00:09:04.296
  • So, i be like, "god, take me around this.
  • 00:09:04.362 --> 00:09:06.298
  • "god, take me around this. what am i gonna do with a sea?"
  • 00:09:06.364 --> 00:09:08.400
  • What am i gonna do with a sea?" and god says, "oh, you'll see.
  • 00:09:08.466 --> 00:09:09.968
  • [laughter]
  • 00:09:10.235 --> 00:09:11.136
  • 'cause i didn't bring you

  • Out here because i'm done with you,

  • I'm done with you, i brought you out here
  • 00:09:14.806 --> 00:09:17.008
  • I brought you out here to deal with your enemies

  • To do sometimes. in exodus 14 as the people are
  • 00:14:25.450 --> 00:14:29.354
  • In exodus 14 as the people are standing in front of a red sea,
  • 00:14:29.420 --> 00:14:34.559
  • Standing in front of a red sea, up against battles that
  • 00:14:34.626 --> 00:14:35.827

  • If you feel like that, watch what moses did.
  • 00:14:47.472 --> 00:14:50.675

  • They were not shown how to read the bible,
  • 00:17:00.038 --> 00:17:01.072
  • How to read the bible, they were not
  • 00:17:01.139 --> 00:17:01.572
  • They were not taught about jesus,
  • 00:17:01.639 --> 00:17:02.874
  • Taught about jesus, and god has brought

  • And god has brought you this far.
  • 00:17:03.908 --> 00:17:06.511

  • I mean, if you really just would think about it
  • 00:17:09.981 --> 00:17:11.049
  • Would think about it for one split second
  • 00:17:11.115 --> 00:17:13.017
  • For one split second of your life the fear
  • 00:17:13.084 --> 00:17:14.752
  • Of your life the fear of what's next would look much
  • 00:17:14.819 --> 00:17:16.154
  • Of what's next would look much smaller in the context of all
  • 00:17:16.220 --> 00:17:18.489
  • Smaller in the context of all you've been through already.
  • 00:17:18.556 --> 00:17:21.426
  • You've been through already. i mean, the devil missed
  • 00:17:21.492 --> 00:17:22.994
  • I mean, the devil missed his window to take you out
  • 00:17:23.061 --> 00:17:25.296
  • His window to take you out because there have been
  • 00:17:25.363 --> 00:17:26.631
  • Because there have been some things that you
  • 00:17:26.697 --> 00:17:27.565
  • Some things that you have been through that
  • 00:17:27.632 --> 00:17:28.599

  • Through the waters -- i love to get a picture of it,
  • 00:17:35.239 --> 00:17:36.941
  • I love to get a picture of it, man, because at this point
  • 00:17:37.008 --> 00:17:39.243
  • Man, because at this point they've basically already
  • 00:17:39.310 --> 00:17:39.977
  • They've basically already given up faith in their leader
  • 00:17:40.044 --> 00:17:41.279
  • Given up faith in their leader because he's taken them
  • 00:17:41.345 --> 00:17:42.947
  • Because he's taken them the long way but god was
  • 00:17:43.014 --> 00:17:44.649
  • The long way but god was leading them through him.
  • 00:17:44.715 --> 00:17:46.384
  • Leading them through him. and they have no idea
  • 00:17:46.451 --> 00:17:47.452
  • And they have no idea what's going to happen next,
  • 00:17:47.518 --> 00:17:48.920
  • What's going to happen next, only that this man is holding up
  • 00:17:48.986 --> 00:17:50.088
  • Only that this man is holding up a stick in front of a sea.
  • 00:17:50.154 --> 00:17:52.757
  • A stick in front of a sea. so, if you feel like that

  • Doing like this sometimes, but the lord will bring you
  • 00:22:14.719 --> 00:22:15.553
  • But the lord will bring you to the water for the worst

  • With you into the promised land you won't be there long.
  • 00:22:33.170 --> 00:22:36.140
  • You won't be there long. there are some things that god
  • 00:22:36.207 --> 00:22:37.375
  • There are some things that god wants to deal with in your life,
  • 00:22:37.441 --> 00:22:40.010
  • Wants to deal with in your life, and god might have sent
  • 00:22:40.077 --> 00:22:41.212
  • And god might have sent a problem to answer a prayer.
  • 00:22:41.278 --> 00:22:43.981
  • A problem to answer a prayer. what was paul's prayer?
  • 00:22:44.048 --> 00:22:44.782
  • What was paul's prayer? "i wanna know christ."
  • 00:22:44.849 --> 00:22:46.050
  • "i wanna know christ." so, god put him
  • 00:22:46.117 --> 00:22:47.017
  • So, god put him in a prison and said,
  • 00:22:47.084 --> 00:22:49.019
  • In a prison and said, "you'll get to know me here."
  • 00:22:49.086 --> 00:22:53.924
  • "you'll get to know me here." so, paul said, "i have a prize
  • 00:22:53.991 --> 00:22:55.426
  • So, paul said, "i have a prize in the prison."
  • 00:22:55.493 --> 00:22:56.827
  • In the prison." so do you.
  • 00:22:56.894 --> 00:22:58.629
  • So do you. a prize in the prison.
  • 00:22:58.696 --> 00:23:00.030
  • A prize in the prison. you hear that?
  • 00:23:00.097 --> 00:23:01.565
  • You hear that? a prize in the prison.
  • 00:23:01.632 --> 00:23:03.000
  • >> thank you so much
  • 00:23:04.034 --> 00:23:05.536
  • >> thank you so much for being with us today.
  • 00:23:05.603 --> 00:23:06.737
  • For being with us today. for some of you this
  • 00:23:06.804 --> 00:23:07.671
  • For some of you this might be a new rhythm
  • 00:23:07.738 --> 00:23:09.039
  • Might be a new rhythm that you're stepping into.
  • 00:23:09.106 --> 00:23:10.775
  • That you're stepping into. maybe god has been stirring
  • 00:23:10.841 --> 00:23:11.742
  • Maybe god has been stirring something in your heart
  • 00:23:11.809 --> 00:23:13.077
  • Something in your heart and you're not even sure
  • 00:23:13.144 --> 00:23:14.111
  • What to call it yet.
  • 00:23:14.211 --> 00:23:15.679
  • What to call it yet. but you're here
  • 00:23:15.746 --> 00:23:16.547
  • But you're here and you're listening
  • 00:23:16.614 --> 00:23:17.648
  • And you're listening and that's what matters.
  • 00:23:17.715 --> 00:23:19.116
  • And that's what matters. our heart as
  • 00:23:19.183 --> 00:23:19.850
  • Our heart as a ministry is simple.
  • 00:23:19.917 --> 00:23:21.719
  • A ministry is simple. we exist so the people
  • 00:23:21.786 --> 00:23:22.853
  • We exist so the people far from god will be raised
  • 00:23:22.920 --> 00:23:24.522
  • Far from god will be raised to life in christ.
  • 00:23:24.588 --> 00:23:25.756
  • To life in christ. everything we do is about
  • 00:23:25.823 --> 00:23:27.758
  • Everything we do is about getting god's word into
  • 00:23:27.825 --> 00:23:29.226
  • Getting god's word into people's hearts because that's
  • 00:23:29.293 --> 00:23:30.661
  • People's hearts because that's where real change begins.
  • 00:23:30.728 --> 00:23:32.863
  • Where real change begins. which is why we want
  • 00:23:32.930 --> 00:23:33.731
  • Which is why we want to invite you to be a part
  • 00:23:33.798 --> 00:23:35.099
  • To invite you to be a part of what god is doing
  • 00:23:35.166 --> 00:23:36.233
  • Of what god is doing through this ministry.
  • 00:23:36.300 --> 00:23:38.102
  • Through this ministry. when you choose to give,
  • 00:23:38.169 --> 00:23:39.537
  • When you choose to give, you're not just supporting
  • 00:23:39.603 --> 00:23:40.571
  • You're not just supporting a broadcast you're helping
  • 00:23:40.638 --> 00:23:42.506
  • A broadcast you're helping make sure that someone else,
  • 00:23:42.573 --> 00:23:44.508
  • Make sure that someone else, somewhere else can hear
  • 00:23:44.575 --> 00:23:46.444
  • Somewhere else can hear the truth that brings hope
  • 00:23:46.510 --> 00:23:48.045
  • The truth that brings hope and healing and new life.
  • 00:23:48.112 --> 00:23:49.914
  • And healing and new life. your generosity
  • 00:23:49.980 --> 00:23:50.948
  • Your generosity becomes an invitation.
  • 00:23:51.015 --> 00:23:52.850
  • Becomes an invitation. it opens the door for the gospel
  • 00:23:52.917 --> 00:23:55.019
  • It opens the door for the gospel to reach someone who may be
  • 00:23:55.085 --> 00:23:56.587
  • To reach someone who may be searching right now.
  • 00:23:56.654 --> 00:23:58.289
  • Searching right now. you can call the number
  • 00:23:58.355 --> 00:23:59.457
  • You can call the number on your screen
  • 00:23:59.523 --> 00:24:00.324
  • On your screen or go online to give.
  • 00:24:00.391 --> 00:24:01.792
  • Or go online to give. every gift matters.
  • 00:24:01.859 --> 00:24:03.727
  • Every gift matters. when we bring our gifts together
  • 00:24:03.794 --> 00:24:05.196
  • When we bring our gifts together god multiplies them
  • 00:24:05.262 --> 00:24:06.864
  • God multiplies them and lives are changed.
  • 00:24:06.931 --> 00:24:08.666
  • And lives are changed. thank you for

  • Thank you for believing that god's word still
  • 00:24:12.203 --> 00:24:13.237
  • That god's word still transforms hearts.
  • 00:24:13.304 --> 00:24:14.738
  • Transforms hearts. and thank you for being
  • 00:24:14.805 --> 00:24:15.840
  • And thank you for being a part of the story that god
  • 00:24:15.906 --> 00:24:17.341

  • 00:24:17.408 --> 00:24:19.443
  • >> what does it mean
  • 00:24:20.578 --> 00:24:21.145
  • >> what does it mean to be blessed?
  • 00:24:21.212 --> 00:24:22.112
  • To be blessed? is it to have a certain
  • 00:24:22.179 --> 00:24:23.647
  • Is it to have a certain set of circumstances?
  • 00:24:23.714 --> 00:24:25.249
  • Set of circumstances? is it to have your world
  • 00:24:25.316 --> 00:24:26.283
  • Is it to have your world just the way you want it,
  • 00:24:26.350 --> 00:24:27.685
