Put it in his hands. now, i don't always
00:02:12.862 --> 00:02:15.131
Now, i don't always share with you why
00:02:15.198 --> 00:02:16.132
Share with you why i picked certain scriptures
00:02:16.199 --> 00:02:17.500
I picked certain scriptures that i wanna preach
00:02:17.567 --> 00:02:18.134
That i wanna preach but if it's helpful i do,
00:02:18.201 --> 00:02:19.435
But if it's helpful i do, and today i think is
00:02:19.502 --> 00:02:20.303
And today i think is one of those occasions where
00:02:20.370 --> 00:02:22.672
One of those occasions where letting you know why
00:02:22.739 --> 00:02:23.573
Letting you know why i selected this text
00:02:23.640 --> 00:02:25.508
I selected this text may help you receive it
00:02:25.575 --> 00:02:26.376
May help you receive it a little bit better.
00:02:26.442 --> 00:02:29.012
A little bit better. i wanna help you hear
00:02:29.078 --> 00:02:30.046
I wanna help you hear the voice of god more
00:02:30.113 --> 00:02:31.981
The voice of god more in your daily life.
00:02:32.048 --> 00:02:34.918
In your daily life. i wanna help you tune in
00:02:34.984 --> 00:02:36.886
I wanna help you tune in to god's voice when he talks.
00:02:36.953 --> 00:02:40.356
To god's voice when he talks. i don't want you to be confused
00:02:40.423 --> 00:02:42.759
I don't want you to be confused by all the noise
00:02:42.825 --> 00:02:44.727
By all the noise that's surrounding you
00:02:44.794 --> 00:02:46.663
That's surrounding you and never really get to know
00:02:46.729 --> 00:02:48.398
And never really get to know the god who made you.
00:02:48.464 --> 00:02:51.000
The god who made you. i said a whole lot
00:02:51.067 --> 00:02:51.668
I said a whole lot in that one sentence.
00:02:51.734 --> 00:02:53.336
In that one sentence. i don't want you to be
00:02:53.403 --> 00:02:54.204
I don't want you to be so confused by the noise
00:02:54.270 --> 00:02:56.139
So confused by the noise that's surrounding you
00:02:56.206 --> 00:02:58.174
That's surrounding you that you never know
00:02:58.241 --> 00:03:00.109
That you never know the god who made you
00:03:00.176 --> 00:03:01.010
The god who made you and never know his voice.
00:03:01.077 --> 00:03:02.545
And never know his voice. jesus said one time,
00:03:02.612 --> 00:03:03.446
Jesus said one time, "my sheep know my voice
00:03:03.513 --> 00:03:04.981
"my sheep know my voice and they hear me."
00:03:05.048 --> 00:03:06.182
And they hear me." but it's hard to hear from god
00:03:06.249 --> 00:03:08.551
But it's hard to hear from god with so much noise all around.
00:03:08.618 --> 00:03:11.287
With so much noise all around. so, i was going through
00:03:11.354 --> 00:03:12.121
So, i was going through my bible just thinking
00:03:12.188 --> 00:03:13.923
My bible just thinking about how great it would be
00:03:13.990 --> 00:03:15.258
About how great it would be to begin this 20th year of
00:03:15.325 --> 00:03:18.027
To begin this 20th year of ministry in our church
00:03:18.094 --> 00:03:19.829
Ministry in our church to show you about
00:03:19.896 --> 00:03:20.597
To show you about different people
00:03:20.663 --> 00:03:21.297
Different people who heard from god,
00:03:21.364 --> 00:03:22.932
Who heard from god, different people that
00:03:22.999 --> 00:03:23.533
Different people that god spoke to,
00:03:23.600 --> 00:03:25.134
God spoke to, and it happens
00:03:25.201 --> 00:03:25.802
And it happens all through the bible,
00:03:25.868 --> 00:03:26.736
All through the bible, so it's kinda hard
00:03:26.803 --> 00:03:27.704
So it's kinda hard to narrow down.
00:03:27.770 --> 00:03:29.339
To narrow down. i thought it would take me
00:03:29.405 --> 00:03:30.073
I thought it would take me 20 more years to preach
00:03:30.139 --> 00:03:31.441
20 more years to preach every time god spoke to
00:03:31.507 --> 00:03:31.908
Every time god spoke to somebody.
00:03:31.975 --> 00:03:33.977
Somebody. and then i came across
00:03:34.043 --> 00:03:36.779
And then i came across an interesting selection
00:03:36.846 --> 00:03:37.981
An interesting selection of scriptures of seven times
00:03:38.047 --> 00:03:40.250
Of scriptures of seven times that god spoke to people
00:03:40.316 --> 00:03:41.484
That god spoke to people in a special way,
00:03:41.551 --> 00:03:43.620
In a special way, seven times where either
00:03:43.686 --> 00:03:45.355
Seven times where either in the old testament
00:03:45.421 --> 00:03:47.156
In the old testament or the new testament,
00:03:47.223 --> 00:03:49.092
Or the new testament, god, the holy spirit, or jesus
00:03:49.158 --> 00:03:53.229
God, the holy spirit, or jesus spoke to somebody
00:03:53.296 --> 00:03:54.964
Spoke to somebody and said their name
00:03:55.031 --> 00:03:57.233
And said their name not once but twice.
00:03:57.300 --> 00:04:01.304
Not once but twice. i thought it was interesting.
00:04:01.371 --> 00:04:03.306
I thought it was interesting. it reminded me of how sometimes
00:04:03.373 --> 00:04:05.708
It reminded me of how sometimes you have to do that
00:04:05.775 --> 00:04:06.442
You have to do that to get your kids' attention.
00:04:06.509 --> 00:04:09.612
You know, if i say,
00:04:09.712 --> 00:04:10.413
You know, if i say, "abbey! abbey!"
00:04:10.480 --> 00:04:14.717
"abbey! abbey!" the second one is because
00:04:14.784 --> 00:04:16.119
The second one is because your gracie abrams
00:04:16.185 --> 00:04:17.020
Your gracie abrams is way too loud upstairs,
00:04:17.086 --> 00:04:18.288
Is way too loud upstairs, and you can't hear me
00:04:18.354 --> 00:04:20.023
And you can't hear me talking over it.
00:04:20.089 --> 00:04:21.891
Talking over it. if i say, "graham! graham!"
00:04:21.958 --> 00:04:25.261
It means i don't care that
00:04:25.361 --> 00:04:26.262
It means i don't care that you can't pause your video game.
00:04:26.329 --> 00:04:28.531
You can't pause your video game. get down here right now.
00:04:28.598 --> 00:04:30.300
Get down here right now. especially, if i say
00:04:30.366 --> 00:04:31.034
Especially, if i say your middle name,
00:04:31.100 --> 00:04:34.137
Your middle name, your middle name
00:04:34.203 --> 00:04:34.637
Your middle name is like a cuss word.
00:04:34.704 --> 00:04:35.471
Is like a cuss word. if i have to call
00:04:35.538 --> 00:04:36.139
If i have to call your middle name...
00:04:36.205 --> 00:04:36.806
[laughter]
00:04:37.006 --> 00:04:38.241
That means you have slipped
00:04:38.574 --> 00:04:39.375
That means you have slipped to the point that we have
00:04:39.442 --> 00:04:40.243
To the point that we have resorted to having to say
00:04:40.310 --> 00:04:41.277
Resorted to having to say the second part of your name
00:04:41.344 --> 00:04:42.412
The second part of your name to make sure
00:04:42.478 --> 00:04:43.279
To make sure that you understand.
00:04:43.346 --> 00:04:43.880
That you understand. what's your middle name, dave?
00:04:43.946 --> 00:04:45.782
What's your middle name, dave? >> rick.
00:04:45.848 --> 00:04:46.582
>> rick. dave rick.
00:04:46.649 --> 00:04:47.650
Dave rick. so, if they said,
00:04:47.717 --> 00:04:48.284
So, if they said, "dave rick orett,"
00:04:48.351 --> 00:04:50.153
"dave rick orett," it's trouble.
00:04:50.219 --> 00:04:51.621
It's trouble. in the same way
00:04:51.688 --> 00:04:52.255
In the same way i wondered where there times
00:04:52.322 --> 00:04:53.556
I wondered where there times where god has to get
00:04:53.623 --> 00:04:54.357
Where god has to get his children's attention,
00:04:54.424 --> 00:04:56.626
His children's attention, and so he has to speak
00:04:56.693 --> 00:04:58.161
And so he has to speak in such a personal way
00:04:58.227 --> 00:05:00.296
In such a personal way because something so pivotal
00:05:00.363 --> 00:05:01.464
Because something so pivotal is happening that he doesn't
00:05:01.531 --> 00:05:03.232
Is happening that he doesn't want them to miss it.
00:05:03.299 --> 00:05:05.134
Want them to miss it. i have a feeling there are
00:05:05.201 --> 00:05:05.935
I have a feeling there are a few thousand under
00:05:06.002 --> 00:05:06.903
A few thousand under the sound of my voice today
00:05:06.969 --> 00:05:08.371
The sound of my voice today who need to hear the voice
00:05:08.438 --> 00:05:09.105
Who need to hear the voice of the lord in this season
00:05:09.172 --> 00:05:10.173
Of the lord in this season of your life because this is
00:05:10.239 --> 00:05:11.908
Of your life because this is a pivotal moment for you.
00:05:11.974 --> 00:05:14.777
A pivotal moment for you. i'd like to remind you
00:05:14.844 --> 00:05:15.678
I'd like to remind you something about pivotal moments
00:05:15.745 --> 00:05:17.380
Something about pivotal moments in each of our lives,
00:05:17.447 --> 00:05:19.382
In each of our lives, they're not big,
00:05:19.449 --> 00:05:21.084
They're not big, but they make
00:05:21.150 --> 00:05:21.551
But they make all the difference.
00:05:21.617 --> 00:05:23.953
All the difference. to illustrate,
00:05:24.020 --> 00:05:25.088
To illustrate, i want y'all to zoom out
00:05:25.154 --> 00:05:26.022
I want y'all to zoom out with the camera
00:05:26.089 --> 00:05:27.223
With the camera and just show how quickly
00:05:27.290 --> 00:05:28.858
And just show how quickly i can pivot almost
00:05:28.925 --> 00:05:30.927
I can pivot almost where you didn't notice.
00:05:30.993 --> 00:05:32.929
Where you didn't notice. and i've used this
00:05:32.995 --> 00:05:33.429
And i've used this to illustrate before,
00:05:33.496 --> 00:05:35.031
To illustrate before, both in leadership and in life,
00:05:35.098 --> 00:05:36.833
Both in leadership and in life, how sometimes you can make
00:05:36.899 --> 00:05:38.368
How sometimes you can make a small adjustment,
00:05:38.434 --> 00:05:40.870
A small adjustment, but if i were to make
00:05:40.937 --> 00:05:41.871
But if i were to make this small adjustment
00:05:41.938 --> 00:05:43.439
This small adjustment in my stance through
00:05:43.506 --> 00:05:44.340
In my stance through pivoting on my back foot
00:05:44.407 --> 00:05:46.175
Pivoting on my back foot and to walk that way,
00:05:46.242 --> 00:05:48.344
And to walk that way, the number of steps that
00:05:48.411 --> 00:05:49.412
The number of steps that i took would multiply
00:05:49.479 --> 00:05:51.681
I took would multiply the importance of the decision
00:05:51.748 --> 00:05:53.116
The importance of the decision that i made to pivot.
00:05:53.182 --> 00:05:54.851
That i made to pivot. what i mean is, it doesn't
00:05:54.917 --> 00:05:55.752
What i mean is, it doesn't make much difference
00:05:55.818 --> 00:05:56.452
Make much difference as long as i'm up here.
00:05:56.519 --> 00:05:58.454
As long as i'm up here. but the longer i walked
00:05:58.521 --> 00:05:59.489
But the longer i walked in that direction,
00:05:59.555 --> 00:06:01.391
In that direction, i would end up in such
00:06:01.457 --> 00:06:02.325
I would end up in such a different destination,
00:06:02.392 --> 00:06:04.794
A different destination, all because of a pivot.
00:06:04.861 --> 00:06:08.064
All because of a pivot. my oldest son, elijah,
00:06:08.131 --> 00:06:09.832
My oldest son, elijah, my middle son, graham,
00:06:09.899 --> 00:06:11.267
My middle son, graham, my youngest, abbey,
00:06:11.334 --> 00:06:12.268
My youngest, abbey, are all here today with us.
00:06:12.335 --> 00:06:14.537
Are all here today with us. we're all happy.
00:06:14.604 --> 00:06:15.138
[applause]
00:06:15.405 --> 00:06:17.206
We're all happy
00:06:17.974 --> 00:06:18.441
We're all happy because elijah is home
00:06:18.508 --> 00:06:19.709
Because elijah is home from college for a minute.
00:06:19.776 --> 00:06:21.944
From college for a minute. we're happy because
00:06:22.011 --> 00:06:22.779
We're happy because abbey stays happy.
00:06:22.845 --> 00:06:24.046
[laughter]
00:06:24.414 --> 00:06:24.647
We're happy because graham
00:06:25.381 --> 00:06:26.249
We're happy because graham is on the second row
00:06:26.315 --> 00:06:27.216
Is on the second row with his buddies who are
00:06:27.283 --> 00:06:28.050
With his buddies who are back-to-back state champions
00:06:28.117 --> 00:06:29.819
Back-to-back state champions in the sport of wrestling
00:06:29.886 --> 00:06:31.020
In the sport of wrestling as of yesterday.
00:06:31.087 --> 00:06:31.521
[cheering and applause]
00:06:31.821 --> 00:06:35.358
He asked for that shout-out,
00:06:35.992 --> 00:06:37.560
He asked for that shout-out, and i did it.
00:06:37.627 --> 00:06:38.127
[laughing]
00:06:38.361 --> 00:06:40.129
And my oldest son, elijah,
00:06:41.831 --> 00:06:43.399
And my oldest son, elijah, was asking me recently
00:06:43.466 --> 00:06:44.634
Was asking me recently about someone that
00:06:44.700 --> 00:06:45.435
About someone that he follows on social media.
00:06:45.501 --> 00:06:46.969
He follows on social media. it's not a very big personality,
00:06:47.036 --> 00:06:48.604
It's not a very big personality, so don't try to guess
00:06:48.671 --> 00:06:49.405
So don't try to guess who i'm talking about,
00:06:49.472 --> 00:06:51.140
Who i'm talking about, but the person is
00:06:51.207 --> 00:06:51.808
But the person is minor-league famous.
00:06:51.874 --> 00:06:53.609
Minor-league famous. and they made a big statement
00:06:53.676 --> 00:06:55.278
And they made a big statement or commitment to jesus christ,
00:06:55.344 --> 00:06:58.214
Or commitment to jesus christ, and then they went back on it.
00:06:58.281 --> 00:07:01.083
And then they went back on it. and they went back on it
00:07:01.150 --> 00:07:02.318
And they went back on it after about two years
00:07:02.385 --> 00:07:03.252
After about two years of being very extreme.
00:07:03.319 --> 00:07:06.022
Of being very extreme. and the person was
00:07:06.088 --> 00:07:06.889
And the person was a very worldly personality,
00:07:06.956 --> 00:07:09.192
A very worldly personality, and then they became
00:07:09.258 --> 00:07:10.026
And then they became a very godly personality.
00:07:10.092 --> 00:07:12.428
A very godly personality. and when i say, "godly,"
00:07:12.495 --> 00:07:13.996
And when i say, "godly," i don't mean like
00:07:14.063 --> 00:07:14.630
I don't mean like you're supposed to be,
00:07:14.697 --> 00:07:15.264
You're supposed to be, where you're receiving
00:07:15.331 --> 00:07:16.666
Where you're receiving the grace of god
00:07:16.732 --> 00:07:17.567
The grace of god and growing in
00:07:17.633 --> 00:07:17.934
And growing in the grace of god.
00:07:18.000 --> 00:07:18.801
The grace of god. they were telling everybody
00:07:18.868 --> 00:07:19.836
They were telling everybody why they were better
00:07:19.902 --> 00:07:20.870
Why they were better than everybody else
00:07:20.937 --> 00:07:21.971
Than everybody else for those two years.
00:07:22.038 --> 00:07:23.806
For those two years. and the moment i saw them
00:07:23.873 --> 00:07:24.774
Begin to boisterously declare,
00:07:24.874 --> 00:07:27.610
Begin to boisterously declare, and boldly infer, and proclaim,
00:07:27.677 --> 00:07:32.014
And boldly infer, and proclaim, that they would never sin
00:07:32.081 --> 00:07:33.416
That they would never sin in these ways like
00:07:33.483 --> 00:07:34.317
In these ways like other people do ever again,
00:07:34.383 --> 00:07:36.519
Other people do ever again, and they would never
00:07:36.586 --> 00:07:37.053
And they would never struggle with what other
00:07:37.119 --> 00:07:37.887
Struggle with what other people struggle with again,
00:07:37.954 --> 00:07:39.956
I told my son, elijah,
00:07:40.056 --> 00:07:41.924
I told my son, elijah, "watch out for the big swings,
00:07:41.991 --> 00:07:47.897
"watch out for the big swings, 'cause anytime you see
00:07:47.964 --> 00:07:48.598
'cause anytime you see something swing that far
00:07:48.664 --> 00:07:50.967
Something swing that far this way, guess what?
00:07:51.033 --> 00:07:53.870
This way, guess what? newton doesn't have to be
00:07:53.936 --> 00:07:54.704
Newton doesn't have to be here to tell us,
00:07:54.770 --> 00:07:56.105
Here to tell us, 'it's gotta come back.'
00:07:56.172 --> 00:07:58.641
'it's gotta come back.' be careful for the big swings."
00:07:58.708 --> 00:08:01.110
Be careful for the big swings." i began to tell him that
00:08:01.177 --> 00:08:02.211
I began to tell him that even though it's sad that
00:08:02.278 --> 00:08:03.212
Even though it's sad that this person was in the faith
00:08:03.279 --> 00:08:06.048
This person was in the faith and now publicly says,
00:08:06.115 --> 00:08:07.383
And now publicly says, "i reject the faith,"
00:08:07.450 --> 00:08:09.585
"i reject the faith," even though they said that,
00:08:09.652 --> 00:08:10.586
Even though they said that, that doesn't mean that
00:08:10.653 --> 00:08:12.255
That doesn't mean that the faith you have is invalid.
00:08:12.321 --> 00:08:16.425
The faith you have is invalid. it just means you need
00:08:16.492 --> 00:08:17.460
It just means you need to think steps, not swings.
00:08:17.527 --> 00:08:21.297
To think steps, not swings. think steps, not swings.
00:08:21.364 --> 00:08:23.332
Think steps, not swings. and sometimes when it comes
00:08:23.399 --> 00:08:24.534
And sometimes when it comes to hearing god's voice,
00:08:24.600 --> 00:08:25.735
To hearing god's voice, and knowing god's voice,
00:08:25.801 --> 00:08:26.869
And knowing god's voice, you'll see people
00:08:26.936 --> 00:08:27.970
You'll see people who they swing really hard
00:08:28.037 --> 00:08:29.705
Who they swing really hard and really far.
00:08:29.772 --> 00:08:31.040
And really far. "god spoke to me,
00:08:31.107 --> 00:08:32.275
"god spoke to me, and i'm never gonna
00:08:32.341 --> 00:08:33.175
And i'm never gonna wear pink again."
00:08:33.242 --> 00:08:34.210
Wear pink again." "why are you never gon'
00:08:34.277 --> 00:08:34.844
"why are you never gon' wear pink again?"
00:08:34.911 --> 00:08:35.578
Wear pink again?" "because the lord told me
00:08:35.645 --> 00:08:36.245
"because the lord told me that purple is
00:08:36.312 --> 00:08:36.812
That purple is the color of royalty."
00:08:36.879 --> 00:08:38.447
The color of royalty." it's like, "this is a little
00:08:38.514 --> 00:08:39.282
It's like, "this is a little extreme for you to be
00:08:39.348 --> 00:08:40.650
Extreme for you to be eliminating colors
00:08:40.716 --> 00:08:41.350
Eliminating colors from your wardrobe."
00:08:41.417 --> 00:08:42.285
From your wardrobe." "god spoke to me,
00:08:42.351 --> 00:08:43.486
"god spoke to me, and i'm never again --
00:08:43.553 --> 00:08:44.620
And i'm never again -- i'm not gonna drink out
00:08:44.687 --> 00:08:45.221
I'm not gonna drink out of any plastic bottles.
00:08:45.288 --> 00:08:46.389
Of any plastic bottles. i'mma take communion
00:08:46.455 --> 00:08:47.223
I'mma take communion every morning at 4:00,
00:08:47.290 --> 00:08:49.025
Every morning at 4:00, but i'mma do it 4:00 a.m.
00:08:49.091 --> 00:08:50.192
But i'mma do it 4:00 a.m. i'mma work out at 3:00 a.m.,
00:08:50.259 --> 00:08:51.761
I'mma work out at 3:00 a.m., and i'mma get up
00:08:51.827 --> 00:08:52.795
And i'mma get up and i'mma pray b --
00:08:52.862 --> 00:08:53.629
And i'mma pray b -- i'mma pray at 2:00 a.m.,
00:08:53.696 --> 00:08:54.764
I'mma pray at 2:00 a.m., then i'mma read
00:08:54.830 --> 00:08:55.197
Then i'mma read my bible at 3:00,
00:08:55.264 --> 00:08:56.032
My bible at 3:00, and then i'mma take
00:08:56.098 --> 00:08:56.532
And then i'mma take communion at 4:00.
00:08:56.599 --> 00:08:57.300
Communion at 4:00. but i'm not gonna take it
00:08:57.366 --> 00:08:58.034
But i'm not gonna take it out of a plastic cup,
00:08:58.100 --> 00:08:58.668
Out of a plastic cup, because that's bad
00:08:58.734 --> 00:08:59.201
Because that's bad for the environment.
00:08:59.268 --> 00:08:59.869
For the environment. and i'm not gonna wear pink.
00:08:59.936 --> 00:09:00.803
And i'm not gonna wear pink. i'mma wear purple, because
00:09:00.870 --> 00:09:01.370
I'mma wear purple, because it's the color of royalty."
00:09:01.437 --> 00:09:02.672
It's the color of royalty." and when i see somebody
00:09:02.738 --> 00:09:03.639
And when i see somebody swinging that hard in anything,
00:09:03.706 --> 00:09:05.741
Swinging that hard in anything, a diet, or discipleship,
00:09:05.808 --> 00:09:07.877
A diet, or discipleship, it scares me a little bit.
00:09:07.944 --> 00:09:12.248
It scares me a little bit. sometimes i think that
00:09:12.315 --> 00:09:13.282
Sometimes i think that a step is better than a swing.
00:09:13.349 --> 00:09:16.719
A step is better than a swing. don't get me wrong,
00:09:16.786 --> 00:09:17.587
Don't get me wrong, dramatic decisions happen
00:09:17.653 --> 00:09:19.188
Dramatic decisions happen in the presence of god,
00:09:19.255 --> 00:09:20.489
In the presence of god, these moments where we say,
00:09:20.556 --> 00:09:21.958
These moments where we say, "i'm leaving egypt."
00:09:22.024 --> 00:09:23.159
"i'm leaving egypt." these moments where we say,
00:09:23.225 --> 00:09:24.527
These moments where we say, "i'm no longer going to
00:09:24.594 --> 00:09:25.628
"i'm no longer going to live in this compromise."
00:09:25.695 --> 00:09:26.929
Live in this compromise." those moments where we say,
00:09:26.996 --> 00:09:28.264
Those moments where we say, "i'm stepping into this
00:09:28.331 --> 00:09:29.365
"i'm stepping into this with my whole heart."
00:09:29.432 --> 00:09:30.266
With my whole heart." those moments where we say,
00:09:30.333 --> 00:09:31.534
Those moments where we say, "i'm burning the bridges
00:09:31.601 --> 00:09:32.668
"i'm burning the bridges behind me, because i can't
00:09:32.735 --> 00:09:33.836
Behind me, because i can't keep playing with this."
00:09:33.903 --> 00:09:35.104
Keep playing with this." those moments are important,
00:09:35.171 --> 00:09:36.505
Those moments are important, but think steps, not swings.
00:09:36.572 --> 00:09:41.477
But think steps, not swings. think pivots, those little moves
00:09:41.544 --> 00:09:45.047
Think pivots, those little moves in your life that can lead
00:09:45.114 --> 00:09:46.616
In your life that can lead to great purpose.
00:09:46.682 --> 00:09:48.551
To great purpose. i try to build my 10 minutes
00:09:48.618 --> 00:09:49.852
I try to build my 10 minutes of my sermon that i start with
00:09:49.919 --> 00:09:51.287
Of my sermon that i start with well enough that
00:09:51.354 --> 00:09:51.921
Well enough that if you had to leave,
00:09:51.988 --> 00:09:52.955
If you had to leave, you would have already gotten
00:09:53.022 --> 00:09:53.789
You would have already gotten something worth coming out
00:09:53.856 --> 00:09:54.690
Something worth coming out in the rain for,
00:09:54.757 --> 00:09:56.025
In the rain for, and i think you just got it.
00:09:56.092 --> 00:09:56.993
[applause]
00:09:57.226 --> 00:09:59.829
And yet we haven't
00:10:00.229 --> 00:10:00.663
And yet we haven't even touched this text.
00:10:00.730 --> 00:10:03.532
Even touched this text. the tension in this text
00:10:03.599 --> 00:10:04.634
The tension in this text is difficult for me
00:10:04.700 --> 00:10:06.068
Is difficult for me to communicate to you
00:10:06.135 --> 00:10:07.637
To communicate to you through just reading
00:10:07.703 --> 00:10:08.371
Through just reading the four verses that i selected.
00:10:08.437 --> 00:10:11.040
The four verses that i selected. this moment in jesus'
00:10:11.107 --> 00:10:12.341
This moment in jesus' life is pivotal.
00:10:12.408 --> 00:10:14.343
Life is pivotal. he's going to the cross.
00:10:14.410 --> 00:10:16.278
He's going to the cross. it's the thursday before
00:10:16.345 --> 00:10:18.047
It's the thursday before the friday where he will die,
00:10:18.114 --> 00:10:20.983
The friday where he will die, and as such, he's preparing,
00:10:21.050 --> 00:10:22.752
And as such, he's preparing, hold that word,
00:10:22.818 --> 00:10:23.986
Hold that word, he's preparing his disciples
00:10:24.053 --> 00:10:26.555
He's preparing his disciples for what they will face.
00:10:26.622 --> 00:10:27.490
For what they will face. and yet, there's really no way
00:10:27.556 --> 00:10:29.025
And yet, there's really no way to prepare them for the loss
00:10:29.091 --> 00:10:31.193
To prepare them for the loss of his physical presence.
00:10:31.260 --> 00:10:33.295
Of his physical presence. there's really no way
00:10:33.362 --> 00:10:34.363
There's really no way for him to prepare them
00:10:34.430 --> 00:10:36.032
For him to prepare them for the pressure of watching him
00:10:36.098 --> 00:10:38.434
Die like a criminal.
00:10:38.534 --> 00:10:40.102
Die like a criminal. there's really no way
00:10:40.169 --> 00:10:41.370
There's really no way to prepare them for
00:10:41.437 --> 00:10:43.105
To prepare them for the soul-searching that will
00:10:43.172 --> 00:10:44.240
The soul-searching that will happen when they watch him laid
00:10:44.306 --> 00:10:46.409
Happen when they watch him laid in joseph of arimathea's grave.
00:10:46.475 --> 00:10:48.210
In joseph of arimathea's grave. there's really no
00:10:48.277 --> 00:10:48.811
There's really no preparing them for this,
00:10:48.878 --> 00:10:51.614
Preparing them for this, so he has a meal with them,
00:10:51.681 --> 00:10:54.583
The passover meal.
00:10:54.684 --> 00:10:56.118
The passover meal. it was a jewish tradition,
00:10:56.185 --> 00:10:57.586
It was a jewish tradition, but jesus was using it
00:10:57.653 --> 00:10:59.689
But jesus was using it for a different purpose.
00:10:59.755 --> 00:11:01.691
For a different purpose. and as he gets ready
00:11:01.757 --> 00:11:02.425
And as he gets ready to serve the bread,
00:11:02.491 --> 00:11:03.426
To serve the bread, he breaks it at the table,
00:11:03.492 --> 00:11:05.594
He breaks it at the table, and as he gets ready to
00:11:05.661 --> 00:11:06.629
And as he gets ready to serve the wine, he pours it.
00:11:06.696 --> 00:11:08.564
Serve the wine, he pours it. and he says, "this is
00:11:08.631 --> 00:11:09.231
And he says, "this is symbolic of what
00:11:09.298 --> 00:11:10.132
Symbolic of what you're about to watch happen."
00:11:10.199 --> 00:11:12.034
You're about to watch happen." he's preparing them.
00:11:12.101 --> 00:11:13.769
He's preparing them. as he pours the wine,
00:11:13.836 --> 00:11:15.371
As he pours the wine, he says, "this is my blood
00:11:15.438 --> 00:11:17.406
He says, "this is my blood poured out for you,
00:11:17.473 --> 00:11:18.774
Poured out for you, the blood of my covenant."
00:11:18.841 --> 00:11:20.810
The blood of my covenant." as he breaks the bread,
00:11:20.876 --> 00:11:22.144
As he breaks the bread, he says, "this is my body
00:11:22.211 --> 00:11:23.612
He says, "this is my body broken for you,"
00:11:23.679 --> 00:11:24.847
Broken for you," and he feeds them.
00:11:24.914 --> 00:11:26.582
And he feeds them. and for a moment,
00:11:26.649 --> 00:11:27.416
And for a moment, if you were just to look in
00:11:27.483 --> 00:11:28.284
If you were just to look in on this scene without
00:11:28.350 --> 00:11:29.552
On this scene without any knowledge of the background
00:11:29.618 --> 00:11:31.353
Any knowledge of the background or without any knowledge
00:11:31.420 --> 00:11:32.722
Or without any knowledge of what's coming next,
00:11:32.788 --> 00:11:34.423
Of what's coming next, you would think
00:11:34.490 --> 00:11:34.790
You would think this is a very happy moment.
00:11:34.857 --> 00:11:36.926
This is a very happy moment. because the bible says
00:11:36.992 --> 00:11:38.127
Because the bible says jesus looked at his disciples
00:11:38.194 --> 00:11:39.628
Jesus looked at his disciples during this and said,
00:11:39.695 --> 00:11:41.330
During this and said, "i've been looking forward
00:11:41.397 --> 00:11:42.264
"i've been looking forward to sharing this meal with you."
00:11:42.331 --> 00:11:44.300
To sharing this meal with you." in fact, he says,
00:11:44.366 --> 00:11:45.067
In fact, he says, "i've eagerly anticipated
00:11:45.134 --> 00:11:48.070
"i've eagerly anticipated sharing this meal with you.
00:11:48.137 --> 00:11:50.072
Sharing this meal with you. i have eagerly longed
00:11:50.139 --> 00:11:52.742
I have eagerly longed for this moment with you."
00:11:52.808 --> 00:11:55.578
For this moment with you." and there at the table,
00:11:55.644 --> 00:11:56.445
And there at the table, the bible says that jesus
00:11:56.512 --> 00:11:57.613
The bible says that jesus and his disciples reclined.
00:11:57.680 --> 00:12:00.316
And his disciples reclined. so, if we were to just walk
00:12:00.382 --> 00:12:01.617
So, if we were to just walk in and watch the scene
00:12:01.684 --> 00:12:02.885
In and watch the scene cut out of sequence on mute,
00:12:02.952 --> 00:12:05.121
Cut out of sequence on mute, we would think this was
00:12:05.187 --> 00:12:05.888
We would think this was a family meal,
00:12:05.955 --> 00:12:08.224
A family meal, but it's now commonly known as,
00:12:08.290 --> 00:12:09.325
But it's now commonly known as, "the last supper,"
00:12:09.391 --> 00:12:11.427
"the last supper," because it's the last time
00:12:11.494 --> 00:12:12.795
Because it's the last time that they'll eat
00:12:12.862 --> 00:12:13.429
That they'll eat with him like this.
00:12:13.496 --> 00:12:15.197
With him like this. and think about everything
00:12:15.264 --> 00:12:16.232
And think about everything that's happening at the table.
00:12:16.298 --> 00:12:18.200
That's happening at the table. jesus is sharing with them
00:12:18.267 --> 00:12:19.568
Jesus is sharing with them that he's about to suffer.
00:12:19.635 --> 00:12:21.670
That he's about to suffer. so now, put the two together,
00:12:21.737 --> 00:12:23.973
So now, put the two together, supper and suffering
00:12:24.039 --> 00:12:27.176
Supper and suffering all at the same table.
00:12:27.243 --> 00:12:29.745
All at the same table. jesus and judas
00:12:29.812 --> 00:12:32.681
Jesus and judas all at the same table.
00:12:32.748 --> 00:12:35.384
All at the same table. the bread and the breaking
00:12:35.451 --> 00:12:39.355
The bread and the breaking all at the same table.
00:12:39.421 --> 00:12:41.624
All at the same table. the wine and the pouring
00:12:41.690 --> 00:12:44.393
The wine and the pouring all at the same table.
00:12:44.460 --> 00:12:46.428
All at the same table. and on one hand,
00:12:46.495 --> 00:12:47.296
And on one hand, this is a happy moment
00:12:47.363 --> 00:12:49.098
This is a happy moment for jesus.
00:12:49.165 --> 00:12:50.299
For jesus. "i've looked forward
00:12:50.366 --> 00:12:50.800
"i've looked forward to sharing this with you.
00:12:50.866 --> 00:12:52.635
To sharing this with you. i've looked forward
00:12:52.701 --> 00:12:53.502
I've looked forward to this moment.
00:12:53.569 --> 00:12:54.603
To this moment. i came for this moment.
00:12:54.670 --> 00:12:55.738
I came for this moment. this is the moment i was sent."
00:12:55.805 --> 00:12:58.207
This is the moment i was sent." because as they're preparing
00:12:58.274 --> 00:12:59.408
Because as they're preparing to eat the passover lamb,
00:12:59.475 --> 00:13:01.544
To eat the passover lamb, he is what they're about to eat.
00:13:01.610 --> 00:13:04.547
He is what they're about to eat. he is the lamb of god
00:13:04.613 --> 00:13:06.515
He is the lamb of god slain from the foundations
00:13:06.582 --> 00:13:07.817
Slain from the foundations of the world.
00:13:07.883 --> 00:13:09.485
Of the world. he was prepared for this,
00:13:09.552 --> 00:13:11.320
He was prepared for this, they weren't.
00:13:11.387 --> 00:13:12.555
They weren't. he was looking forward to this,
00:13:12.621 --> 00:13:14.824
He was looking forward to this, but they could not know
00:13:14.890 --> 00:13:15.758
But they could not know to anticipate it.
00:13:15.825 --> 00:13:17.493
To anticipate it. even if mentally,
00:13:17.560 --> 00:13:18.327
Even if mentally, they understood it,
00:13:18.394 --> 00:13:19.128
They understood it, emotionally, they couldn't
00:13:19.195 --> 00:13:19.895
Emotionally, they couldn't comprehend it.
00:13:19.962 --> 00:13:21.530
Comprehend it. so, it's a happy moment,
00:13:21.597 --> 00:13:23.566
So, it's a happy moment, but it's a heavy moment.
00:13:23.632 --> 00:13:25.301
But it's a heavy moment. and isn't it crazy how,
00:13:25.367 --> 00:13:27.169
And isn't it crazy how, a lot of times,
00:13:27.236 --> 00:13:28.304
A lot of times, the heaviest moments
00:13:28.370 --> 00:13:29.805
The heaviest moments and the happiest moments
00:13:29.872 --> 00:13:32.308
And the happiest moments are happening all
00:13:32.374 --> 00:13:32.942
Are happening all at the same table?
00:13:33.008 --> 00:13:36.245
At the same table? if there's one thing
00:13:36.312 --> 00:13:37.079
If there's one thing i could get across to you
00:13:37.146 --> 00:13:39.148
I could get across to you about life as
00:13:39.215 --> 00:13:41.617
About life as a follower of christ,
00:13:41.684 --> 00:13:43.686
A follower of christ, it's that you would not
00:13:43.752 --> 00:13:44.320
It's that you would not be surprised to find that
00:13:44.386 --> 00:13:46.889
Sometimes the happiest times
00:13:46.989 --> 00:13:49.592
Sometimes the happiest times and the heaviest times
00:13:49.658 --> 00:13:51.894
And the heaviest times happen at the same time.
00:13:51.961 --> 00:13:53.395
[applause]
00:13:53.662 --> 00:13:54.597
See, it's not like
00:13:55.531 --> 00:13:56.165
See, it's not like we just have happy seasons
00:13:56.232 --> 00:13:59.168
We just have happy seasons and heavy seasons.
00:13:59.235 --> 00:14:01.203
And heavy seasons. it might be a season for you
00:14:01.270 --> 00:14:02.504
Where you're sitting
00:14:02.605 --> 00:14:03.305
Where you're sitting at a table surrounded
00:14:03.372 --> 00:14:05.474
At a table surrounded by all of the things
00:14:05.541 --> 00:14:07.042
By all of the things that you love,
00:14:07.109 --> 00:14:08.477
That you love, carrying all of the things
00:14:08.544 --> 00:14:09.879
Carrying all of the things that you must endure.
00:14:09.945 --> 00:14:11.914
That you must endure. there are times
00:14:11.981 --> 00:14:12.548
There are times in all of our lives,
00:14:12.615 --> 00:14:13.682
In all of our lives, especially as grown-ups,
00:14:13.749 --> 00:14:15.851
Especially as grown-ups, where we have to learn
00:14:15.918 --> 00:14:16.652
Where we have to learn to take the happiness
00:14:16.719 --> 00:14:18.454
To take the happiness and the heaviness
00:14:18.520 --> 00:14:20.055
And the heaviness in the same hour,
00:14:20.122 --> 00:14:22.024
In the same hour, the happiness and the heaviness
00:14:22.091 --> 00:14:24.994
The happiness and the heaviness in the same seat.
00:14:25.060 --> 00:14:26.562
In the same seat. everybody in this room,
00:14:26.629 --> 00:14:28.130
Everybody in this room, everybody watching me online,
00:14:28.197 --> 00:14:29.965
Everybody watching me online, has something to be happy about
00:14:30.032 --> 00:14:32.868
Has something to be happy about and something to be heavy about.
00:14:32.935 --> 00:14:35.404
And something to be heavy about. and the thing about prayer,
00:14:35.471 --> 00:14:36.572
And the thing about prayer, i told you i want to talk
00:14:36.639 --> 00:14:37.439
I told you i want to talk to you about prayer today,
00:14:37.506 --> 00:14:39.808
To you about prayer today, is that it helps me
00:14:39.875 --> 00:14:40.743
Is that it helps me not to let the happiness
00:14:40.809 --> 00:14:43.045
Not to let the happiness hide itself behind
00:14:43.112 --> 00:14:44.280
Hide itself behind the heaviness.
00:14:44.346 --> 00:14:45.514
[applause]
00:14:45.814 --> 00:14:46.115
So, it means that i can carry
00:14:46.582 --> 00:14:48.050
So, it means that i can carry heavy situations in my heart
00:14:48.117 --> 00:14:51.220
Heavy situations in my heart and still find happiness
00:14:51.287 --> 00:14:53.255
And still find happiness in jesus, because i prayed
00:14:53.322 --> 00:14:55.524
In jesus, because i prayed my way through the heaviness
00:14:55.591 --> 00:14:57.927
My way through the heaviness to the point that i realize
00:14:57.993 --> 00:14:59.628
To the point that i realize he's in the heaviness
00:14:59.695 --> 00:15:01.563
He's in the heaviness and he's in the happiness.
00:15:01.630 --> 00:15:03.332
And he's in the happiness. in fact, if i could take
00:15:03.399 --> 00:15:04.133
In fact, if i could take it one step further,
00:15:04.199 --> 00:15:05.401
It one step further, let me tell you
00:15:05.467 --> 00:15:05.935
Let me tell you why i love jesus.

Why i love jesus. he is my happiness
00:15:07.603 --> 00:15:09.104
He is my happiness in my heaviness.
00:15:09.171 --> 00:15:09.772
[applause]
00:15:10.039 --> 00:15:12.107
He is the one that
00:15:12.942 --> 00:15:13.709
He is the one that is seated at the table.
00:15:13.776 --> 00:15:15.577
Is seated at the table. and even while
00:15:15.644 --> 00:15:16.312
And even while the bread is breaking,
00:15:16.378 --> 00:15:17.479
The bread is breaking, i know it's in his hands.
00:15:17.546 --> 00:15:19.748
I know it's in his hands. so, that's why i lift my hands
00:15:19.815 --> 00:15:22.251
So, that's why i lift my hands 'cause i know my life
00:15:22.318 --> 00:15:23.752
'cause i know my life is in his hands.
00:15:23.819 --> 00:15:24.553
[applause]
00:15:24.787 --> 00:15:27.990
Happiness and heaviness,

Who come to church on the sunday after valentine's day
00:16:01.724 --> 00:16:02.858
After valentine's day just kinda bracing
00:16:02.925 --> 00:16:03.726
Just kinda bracing for a fight thinking about,
00:16:03.792 --> 00:16:06.028
For a fight thinking about, "oh god, if he talks about,
00:16:06.095 --> 00:16:07.262
"oh god, if he talks about, one more time,
00:16:07.329 --> 00:16:08.464
One more time, that god is preparing
00:16:08.530 --> 00:16:09.565
That god is preparing somebody for you
00:16:09.631 --> 00:16:10.866
Somebody for you and god is preparing

And god's gonna send the right person
00:16:13.902 --> 00:16:14.370
The right person when you're ready,
00:16:14.436 --> 00:16:15.337
When you're ready, and touch three people
00:16:15.404 --> 00:16:16.438
And touch three people and say, 'get ready.'
00:16:16.505 --> 00:16:17.239
And say, 'get ready.' and if you made me touch

Anybody today they better be my husband in about six months,
00:16:19.408 --> 00:16:21.110
My husband in about six months, 'cause i can't take
00:16:21.176 --> 00:16:21.877
'cause i can't take one more sermon
00:16:21.944 --> 00:16:22.678
One more sermon while you talk about
00:16:22.745 --> 00:16:23.679
While you talk about that thing in my life."
00:16:23.746 --> 00:16:24.913
That thing in my life." but yet, there's a married
00:16:24.980 --> 00:16:25.781
But yet, there's a married person going,
00:16:25.848 --> 00:16:26.482
Person going, "i hope he doesn't talk
00:16:26.548 --> 00:16:27.082
"i hope he doesn't talk about how to get along
00:16:27.149 --> 00:16:28.050
About how to get along in the house because,"
00:16:28.117 --> 00:16:29.251
In the house because," watch this,
00:16:29.318 --> 00:16:30.285
Watch this, and now i'mma shift on you,

Here with me today. we're not even
00:16:34.390 --> 00:16:34.723
We're not even speaking right now."
00:16:34.790 --> 00:16:35.991
Speaking right now." and that doesn't mean
00:16:36.058 --> 00:16:36.625
And that doesn't mean that you're not happy
00:16:36.692 --> 00:16:37.393
That you're not happy anywhere in your life.
00:16:37.459 --> 00:16:39.395
Anywhere in your life. just because your heavy

Somewhere doesn't mean you're not happy anywhere.
00:16:41.563 --> 00:16:44.566
You're not happy anywhere. and just because you're happy

Me that a balance. i wonder if the happy things
00:16:53.342 --> 00:16:54.643
I wonder if the happy things are to lift me up
00:16:54.710 --> 00:16:55.310
Are to lift me up so i don't quit,
00:16:55.377 --> 00:16:57.279
So i don't quit, and the heavy things
00:16:57.346 --> 00:16:58.013
And the heavy things are to keep me grounded
00:16:58.080 --> 00:16:58.914
So i don't get prideful.
00:16:59.014 --> 00:16:59.815

Come in pairs,

And ask them to sell you one shoe for the price of half.

I just want the right one." they're gonna say,
00:17:25.274 --> 00:17:26.108
They're gonna say, "sir, they come in a pair.

To your calling and your relationship with god,

And your relationship with god, you don't get to pick

Go hand in hand. and this will help you
00:17:49.531 --> 00:17:50.365
And this will help you to understand why sometimes

To understand why sometimes you're having a great moment
00:17:51.533 --> 00:17:54.536
You're having a great moment but somewhere in that moment,
00:17:54.603 --> 00:17:56.638
But somewhere in that moment, you still feel kind of
00:17:56.705 --> 00:17:57.539
You still feel kind of down and then you think,
00:17:57.606 --> 00:17:59.408
Down and then you think, "well, i'm not grateful."
00:17:59.475 --> 00:18:00.742
"well, i'm not grateful." no, it's not that
00:18:00.809 --> 00:18:01.543
No, it's not that you're not grateful,
00:18:01.610 --> 00:18:02.678
You're not grateful, you're just grown up.
00:18:02.744 --> 00:18:05.781
You're just grown up. and to be grown up
00:18:05.848 --> 00:18:06.682

Because into this context jesus speaks, "simon, simon."
00:18:58.901 --> 00:19:03.372
Jesus speaks, "simon, simon." and he says his name twice.
00:19:03.438 --> 00:19:04.840
And he says his name twice. now, we'll do
00:19:04.907 --> 00:19:05.541

There are seven times in the bible that god
00:19:10.646 --> 00:19:13.682
In the bible that god or jesus -- and jesus is god.
00:19:13.749 --> 00:19:16.485
Or jesus -- and jesus is god. but i'm saying old testament,
00:19:16.552 --> 00:19:18.353
But i'm saying old testament, where god speaks
00:19:18.420 --> 00:19:19.154
Where god speaks in different ways,
00:19:19.221 --> 00:19:20.389
In different ways, or in the new testament,
00:19:20.455 --> 00:19:21.857
Or in the new testament, where jesus would just lean over
00:19:21.924 --> 00:19:22.891
Where jesus would just lean over and tell you because
00:19:22.958 --> 00:19:23.625
And tell you because he was physically present.
00:19:23.692 --> 00:19:24.660
He was physically present. there are seven time,

There are seven time, and this is one of them,
00:19:25.561 --> 00:19:27.062
And this is one of them, where someone is called
00:19:27.129 --> 00:19:28.397
Where someone is called by their name,
00:19:28.463 --> 00:19:29.731
By their name, but they're called twice.
00:19:29.798 --> 00:19:30.766

Like your mama's got a switch. your mama didn't
00:19:50.552 --> 00:19:51.019
Your mama didn't break off a switch?

Break off a switch? if your mom didn't

If your mom didn't break off a switch,

Break off a switch, that was child abuse.

That was child abuse. you need a switch sometimes.
00:19:56.391 --> 00:19:57.526
[laughter]

What is saul doing that's so important
00:20:49.478 --> 00:20:50.279
That's so important that he has to get named twice,
00:20:50.345 --> 00:20:53.081
That he has to get named twice, called by, "saul, saul,"
00:20:53.148 --> 00:20:54.283
Called by, "saul, saul," not just, "saul?"
00:20:54.349 --> 00:20:55.317
Not just, "saul?" "saul, saul."
00:20:55.384 --> 00:20:56.318
"saul, saul." he's riding on his horse,
00:20:56.385 --> 00:20:58.453
He's riding on his horse, going to persecute christians,
00:20:58.520 --> 00:21:00.822
Going to persecute christians, and jesus is about

00:21:01.857 --> 00:21:03.892

"i can do all things through christ who strengthens me?"
00:21:08.330 --> 00:21:09.931
Christ who strengthens me?" well, before he was paul,
00:21:09.998 --> 00:21:11.099
Well, before he was paul, y'all, he was saul, saul.

He called his name to get his attention.
00:21:16.238 --> 00:21:17.072
To get his attention. he knocked him off his horse

He blinded him with a light to get his attention.
00:21:19.408 --> 00:21:20.309
A light to get his attention. he restored his sight
00:21:20.375 --> 00:21:21.410
He restored his sight and gave him a vision,
00:21:21.476 --> 00:21:22.344
And gave him a vision, and the gospel came
00:21:22.411 --> 00:21:23.445
And the gospel came to the gentiles because
00:21:23.512 --> 00:21:24.846
To the gentiles because it was a pivotal moment.
00:21:24.913 --> 00:21:26.381
It was a pivotal moment. "saul, saul."
00:21:26.448 --> 00:21:27.816

What else y'all got? while y'all are guessing,

Touch your neighbor and say, "better call saul."
00:21:33.055 --> 00:21:34.156

"moses, moses." that's right.
00:21:47.636 --> 00:21:48.603
That's right. "take off your shoes, moses,
00:21:48.670 --> 00:21:51.073
"take off your shoes, moses, 'cause you're about to pivot.
00:21:51.139 --> 00:21:53.642
'cause you're about to pivot. take off your shoes, moses,
00:21:53.709 --> 00:21:56.178
Take off your shoes, moses, because the place

When he calls your name twice, it's a pattern.

It's a pattern. there are some of you
00:22:15.630 --> 00:22:16.732
There are some of you under the sound of my voice,

He is repeating patterns in your life.

On the road so you think you need to buy one.
