  • A rider in advance with the two that went.
  • 00:05:17.970 --> 00:05:19.605
  • "you know,
  • 00:05:19.706 --> 00:05:20.073
  • "you know, jesus only eats brown m&ms,
  • 00:05:20.139 --> 00:05:21.140
  • Jesus only eats brown m&ms, so make sure when he comes --
  • 00:05:21.207 --> 00:05:23.409
  • So make sure when he comes -- you know, he's not a rock star,
  • 00:05:23.476 --> 00:05:24.510
  • You know, he's not a rock star, he is the rock of ages.
  • 00:05:24.577 --> 00:05:27.680
  • He is the rock of ages. he just told 'em,
  • 00:05:27.747 --> 00:05:28.381
  • He just told 'em, "eat whatever is set before you
  • 00:05:28.448 --> 00:05:29.449
  • "eat whatever is set before you when i send you out."
  • 00:05:29.515 --> 00:05:30.183
  • When i send you out." so, jesus is cool.
  • 00:05:30.249 --> 00:05:31.117
  • So, jesus is cool. jesus is just, you know --
  • 00:05:31.184 --> 00:05:33.152
  • Jesus is just, you know -- i was gonna say jesus is just --
  • 00:05:33.219 --> 00:05:34.554
  • I was gonna say jesus is just -- no, i'm not gonna say it.
  • 00:05:34.620 --> 00:05:35.755
  • No, i'm not gonna say it. i'll tell you later.
  • 00:05:35.822 --> 00:05:36.723
  • I'll tell you later. but jesus will just show up
  • 00:05:36.789 --> 00:05:37.657
  • But jesus will just show up and eat whatever you
  • 00:05:37.724 --> 00:05:38.224
  • And eat whatever you put before him.
  • 00:05:38.291 --> 00:05:38.891
  • Put before him. so, let me ask you a question.
  • 00:05:38.958 --> 00:05:41.694
  • So, let me ask you a question. when she says, "lord, don't you

  • Her to do what i decided needed to be done to host you."
  • 00:06:00.913 --> 00:06:03.516
  • To be done to host you." let me try that again.
  • 00:06:03.583 --> 00:06:05.585
  • Let me try that again. "lord, here's my list.

  • She's really just kind of lazy, spacey.
  • 00:06:20.466 --> 00:06:23.536
  • Kind of lazy, spacey. jesus," you know, you get
  • 00:06:23.603 --> 00:06:24.270
  • Jesus," you know, you get an attitude, right?

  • 00:10:21.641 --> 00:10:24.010
  • For this week before you start it and ask the question,
  • 00:10:24.076 --> 00:10:26.212
  • "is this your list, lord?
  • 00:10:26.312 --> 00:10:28.748
  • "is this your list, lord? is there stuff on this list that
  • 00:10:28.814 --> 00:10:31.450
  • Is there stuff on this list that i'm doing just to look good
  • 00:10:31.517 --> 00:10:32.685
  • I'm doing just to look good and impress others that you
  • 00:10:32.752 --> 00:10:35.121
  • And impress others that you never called me to do?"
  • 00:10:35.187 --> 00:10:36.989
  • Never called me to do?" oh, i'm preaching now.
  • 00:10:37.056 --> 00:10:39.392
  • Because sometimes
  • 00:10:39.492 --> 00:10:39.925
  • Because sometimes we label it responsible.
  • 00:10:39.992 --> 00:10:42.461
  • We label it responsible. but sometimes what we do in
  • 00:10:42.528 --> 00:10:43.496
  • But sometimes what we do in an effort to appear responsible
  • 00:10:43.562 --> 00:10:45.398
  • An effort to appear responsible is really out of the comparisons
  • 00:10:45.464 --> 00:10:46.666
  • Is really out of the comparisons that we've made with people
  • 00:10:46.732 --> 00:10:47.733
  • That we've made with people that we don't really know.
  • 00:10:47.800 --> 00:10:50.903
  • That we don't really know. whose list is this?

  • 00:10:57.810 --> 00:10:58.844
  • And they told me some story about what chemicals
  • 00:10:58.911 --> 00:11:00.012

  • "no." "sounds like if you
  • 00:11:18.464 --> 00:11:19.265
  • "sounds like if you didn't purchase it,
  • 00:11:19.331 --> 00:11:22.068
  • Didn't purchase it, and you didn't prepare it,
  • 00:11:22.134 --> 00:11:25.438
  • And you didn't prepare it, then you don't get
  • 00:11:25.504 --> 00:11:26.639

  • "jesus, i need help with this list."
  • 00:14:03.696 --> 00:14:04.263
  • With this list." now, i'm gonna show you
  • 00:14:04.330 --> 00:14:06.065
  • Now, i'm gonna show you how far martha comes
  • 00:14:06.131 --> 00:14:07.199
  • How far martha comes in this scripture.
  • 00:14:07.266 --> 00:14:08.667
  • In this scripture. and y'all can sit down
  • 00:14:08.734 --> 00:14:10.135
  • And y'all can sit down and i want you to come up
  • 00:14:10.202 --> 00:14:11.003
  • Because martha, in this passage,
  • 00:14:11.103 --> 00:14:16.008
  • Because martha, in this passage, she's in a tough spot.
  • 00:14:16.075 --> 00:14:18.978
  • She's in a tough spot. she's in a really tough spot.
  • 00:14:19.044 --> 00:14:22.414
  • She's in a really tough spot. and in a way we don't get
  • 00:14:22.481 --> 00:14:23.415
  • And in a way we don't get much closure in the passage
  • 00:14:23.482 --> 00:14:24.550
  • Much closure in the passage itself because,
  • 00:14:24.617 --> 00:14:26.285
  • Itself because, it kind of just
  • 00:14:26.352 --> 00:14:26.852
  • It kind of just ends with jesus saying,
  • 00:14:26.919 --> 00:14:27.820
  • Ends with jesus saying, "hey, i know you're resourceful.
  • 00:14:27.887 --> 00:14:28.888
  • "hey, i know you're resourceful. i know you're responsible.
  • 00:14:28.954 --> 00:14:29.822
  • I know you're responsible. i know you're respectful,
  • 00:14:29.889 --> 00:14:31.023
  • I know you're respectful, but mary is present."
  • 00:14:31.090 --> 00:14:33.359
  • But mary is present." and martha isn't present,
  • 00:14:33.425 --> 00:14:37.763
  • And martha isn't present, she's pulled.
  • 00:14:37.830 --> 00:14:41.166
  • So, since she's pulled...
  • 00:14:41.267 --> 00:14:47.106
  • So, since she's pulled... she begins to resent.
  • 00:14:47.172 --> 00:14:52.344
  • She begins to resent. it's a recipe for resentment,
  • 00:14:52.411 --> 00:14:53.545
  • It's a recipe for resentment, trying to please everybody,
  • 00:14:53.612 --> 00:14:54.680
  • Trying to please everybody, trying to be everything,
  • 00:14:54.747 --> 00:14:55.748
  • Trying to be everything, trying to achieve everything.
  • 00:14:55.814 --> 00:14:58.717
  • Trying to achieve everything. trying to achieve 8-pack abs
  • 00:14:58.784 --> 00:15:00.552
  • Trying to achieve 8-pack abs while also going back to school.
  • 00:15:00.619 --> 00:15:03.689
  • While also going back to school. all of that amalgamation of what
  • 00:15:03.756 --> 00:15:06.058
  • All of that amalgamation of what you think it means to achieve
  • 00:15:06.125 --> 00:15:07.593
  • You think it means to achieve that comes from culture,
  • 00:15:07.660 --> 00:15:08.360
  • That comes from culture, that comes from comparison,
  • 00:15:08.427 --> 00:15:09.395
  • That comes from comparison, that comes from condemnation,
  • 00:15:09.461 --> 00:15:10.396
  • That comes from condemnation, it does not come from christ.
  • 00:15:10.462 --> 00:15:13.599
  • It does not come from christ. it is a recipe for resentment.
  • 00:15:13.666 --> 00:15:15.100
  • It is a recipe for resentment. and for you to just keep
  • 00:15:15.167 --> 00:15:16.268
  • And for you to just keep adding to your life what you
  • 00:15:16.335 --> 00:15:17.569
  • Adding to your life what you think you need to be for
  • 00:15:17.636 --> 00:15:19.071
  • Think you need to be for god to love you more,
  • 00:15:19.138 --> 00:15:20.005
  • God to love you more, what you think you need
  • 00:15:20.072 --> 00:15:20.839
  • What you think you need to do for somebody else
  • 00:15:20.906 --> 00:15:22.041
  • To do for somebody else to love to more.
  • 00:15:22.107 --> 00:15:22.841
  • To love to more. what you think you need
  • 00:15:22.908 --> 00:15:23.809
  • What you think you need to achieve in order to be
  • 00:15:23.876 --> 00:15:24.910
  • To achieve in order to be worthy of the life that god
  • 00:15:24.977 --> 00:15:26.278
  • Worthy of the life that god gave you by his grace.
  • 00:15:26.345 --> 00:15:27.880
  • Gave you by his grace. remember, your expectation,
  • 00:15:27.947 --> 00:15:29.982
  • Remember, your expectation, even of yourself
  • 00:15:30.049 --> 00:15:31.650
  • Even of yourself plus other's limitations,
  • 00:15:31.717 --> 00:15:33.285
  • Plus other's limitations, even if it's your own,
  • 00:15:33.352 --> 00:15:34.787
  • Even if it's your own, minus grace is a recipe
  • 00:15:34.853 --> 00:15:37.523
  • Minus grace is a recipe for resentment.
  • 00:15:37.589 --> 00:15:41.660
  • For resentment. and now, martha's screaming
  • 00:15:41.727 --> 00:15:42.561
  • And now, martha's screaming in the kitchen,
  • 00:15:42.628 --> 00:15:43.095
  • In the kitchen, "does anybody care
  • 00:15:43.162 --> 00:15:45.364
  • "does anybody care that i'm tired?
  • 00:15:45.431 --> 00:15:47.967
  • That i'm tired? does anybody care that
  • 00:15:48.033 --> 00:15:50.402
  • Does anybody care that i'm doing this for them?
  • 00:15:50.469 --> 00:15:51.503
  • I'm doing this for them? does anybody care?"
  • 00:15:51.570 --> 00:15:52.671
  • Does anybody care?" jesus - this is what she said,
  • 00:15:52.738 --> 00:15:54.106
  • Jesus - this is what she said, "don't you care?
  • 00:15:54.173 --> 00:15:57.009
  • "don't you care? don't you care that i'm doing
  • 00:15:57.076 --> 00:15:58.110
  • Don't you care that i'm doing all the work by myself?"
  • 00:15:58.177 --> 00:15:59.311
  • All the work by myself?" and jesus said, "i care,
  • 00:15:59.378 --> 00:16:01.447
  • And jesus said, "i care, but not about your work.
  • 00:16:01.513 --> 00:16:03.615
  • But not about your work. i care about your worry.
  • 00:16:03.682 --> 00:16:06.685
  • I care about your worry. and you want me to help you
  • 00:16:06.752 --> 00:16:07.553
  • And you want me to help you with your work,
  • 00:16:07.619 --> 00:16:09.088
  • But i wanna help you
  • 00:16:09.188 --> 00:16:09.922
  • But i wanna help you with your worry.
  • 00:16:09.989 --> 00:16:11.991
  • With your worry. so, i wanna take your list

  • So, i wanna take your list and i wanna walk with you
  • 00:16:13.025 --> 00:16:13.892
  • And i wanna walk with you through it and i wanna
  • 00:16:13.959 --> 00:16:14.593
  • Through it and i wanna show you in this
  • 00:16:14.660 --> 00:16:15.594
  • Show you in this season of your life --"
  • 00:16:15.661 --> 00:16:16.662
  • Season of your life --" i'm not talking to martha,
  • 00:16:16.729 --> 00:16:17.496
  • I'm not talking to martha, martha anymore,
  • 00:16:17.563 --> 00:16:18.464
  • Martha anymore, i'm talking to you, you.
  • 00:16:18.530 --> 00:16:20.299
  • I'm talking to you, you. god wants to show you in this
  • 00:16:20.366 --> 00:16:21.467
  • God wants to show you in this season of your life where you
  • 00:16:21.533 --> 00:16:23.669
  • Are being paralyzed because
  • 00:16:23.769 --> 00:16:25.037
  • Are being paralyzed because you are being pulled.
  • 00:16:25.104 --> 00:16:27.573
  • You are being pulled. that's a picture of worry,
  • 00:16:27.639 --> 00:16:28.774
  • That's a picture of worry, isn't it?
  • 00:16:28.841 --> 00:16:29.274
  • Isn't it? being pulled on both sides
  • 00:16:29.341 --> 00:16:31.477
  • Being pulled on both sides and going nowhere.
  • 00:16:31.543 --> 00:16:33.278
  • And going nowhere. being pulled and spent,
  • 00:16:33.345 --> 00:16:35.114
  • Being pulled and spent, and tired, but making
  • 00:16:35.180 --> 00:16:36.448
  • And tired, but making no progress.
  • 00:16:36.515 --> 00:16:39.385
  • No progress. "don't you care, lord?"
  • 00:16:39.451 --> 00:16:40.786
  • "don't you care, lord?" he says, "i care.
  • 00:16:40.853 --> 00:16:41.453
  • He says, "i care. i care so much that i want you
  • 00:16:41.520 --> 00:16:44.123
  • I care so much that i want you to be present with me,
  • 00:16:44.189 --> 00:16:46.625
  • To be present with me, so that you do not resent
  • 00:16:46.692 --> 00:16:48.193
  • So that you do not resent the demands of your life
  • 00:16:48.260 --> 00:16:49.628
  • The demands of your life that you're trying
  • 00:16:49.695 --> 00:16:50.529
  • That you're trying to fulfill without me."
  • 00:16:50.596 --> 00:16:55.534
  • To fulfill without me." this is the same thing
  • 00:16:55.601 --> 00:16:56.301
  • This is the same thing that martha asked jesus,
  • 00:16:56.368 --> 00:16:58.570
  • That martha asked jesus, when her brother lazarus
  • 00:16:58.637 --> 00:16:59.838
  • When her brother lazarus got sick.
  • 00:16:59.905 --> 00:17:01.407
  • Got sick. does anybody know the story?
  • 00:17:01.473 --> 00:17:03.442
  • Does anybody know the story? wave at me if you know the story
  • 00:17:03.509 --> 00:17:04.910
  • Wave at me if you know the story of a man called lazarus.
  • 00:17:04.977 --> 00:17:07.379
  • Of a man called lazarus. did you know that
  • 00:17:07.446 --> 00:17:08.080
  • Did you know that his big sister was martha?
  • 00:17:08.147 --> 00:17:11.984
  • His big sister was martha? did you know that his village
  • 00:17:12.051 --> 00:17:12.785
  • Did you know that his village was called bethany?
  • 00:17:12.851 --> 00:17:15.120
  • Was called bethany? how must it have
  • 00:17:15.187 --> 00:17:15.954
  • How must it have felt for martha,
  • 00:17:16.021 --> 00:17:16.588
  • Felt for martha, not only to cook for
  • 00:17:16.655 --> 00:17:17.523
  • Not only to cook for jesus and his disciples,
  • 00:17:17.589 --> 00:17:18.557
  • Jesus and his disciples, but to care for a sick brother.
  • 00:17:18.624 --> 00:17:21.293
  • But to care for a sick brother. usually, men would pay
  • 00:17:21.360 --> 00:17:22.194
  • Usually, men would pay for the bills,
  • 00:17:22.261 --> 00:17:23.695
  • For the bills, but lazarus couldn't.
  • 00:17:23.762 --> 00:17:25.164
  • But lazarus couldn't. there's no mention of a husband,
  • 00:17:25.230 --> 00:17:26.198
  • There's no mention of a husband, martha is doing it by herself.
  • 00:17:26.265 --> 00:17:30.002
  • Martha is doing it by herself. and that's why it hit
  • 00:17:30.069 --> 00:17:31.136
  • And that's why it hit a nerve when she said,
  • 00:17:31.203 --> 00:17:32.704
  • A nerve when she said, "don't you care that she's
  • 00:17:32.771 --> 00:17:34.706
  • "don't you care that she's left me to do it by myself?"
  • 00:17:34.773 --> 00:17:36.508
  • Left me to do it by myself?" and it can feel like that,
  • 00:17:36.575 --> 00:17:38.477
  • And it can feel like that, and it has felt like that
  • 00:17:38.544 --> 00:17:40.212
  • And it has felt like that for some of us.
  • 00:17:40.279 --> 00:17:41.080
  • For some of us. "do you really expect me
  • 00:17:41.146 --> 00:17:42.214
  • "do you really expect me to be here and there?
  • 00:17:42.281 --> 00:17:43.115
  • To be here and there? i can only be one place
  • 00:17:43.182 --> 00:17:44.450
  • I can only be one place at one time."
  • 00:17:44.516 --> 00:17:45.117
  • At one time." that's right.
  • 00:17:45.184 --> 00:17:46.852
  • That's right. that's right.
  • 00:17:46.919 --> 00:17:48.220
  • That's right. and when lazarus got sick,
  • 00:17:48.287 --> 00:17:50.756
  • And when lazarus got sick, martha sent word
  • 00:17:50.823 --> 00:17:51.623
  • Martha sent word to jesus saying,
  • 00:17:51.690 --> 00:17:52.791
  • To jesus saying, "the one that you love is sick."
  • 00:17:52.858 --> 00:17:54.059
  • "the one that you love is sick." this is in john 11.
  • 00:17:54.126 --> 00:17:55.327
  • This is in john 11. you can read it
  • 00:17:55.394 --> 00:17:56.128
  • You can read it when you get home.
  • 00:17:56.195 --> 00:17:56.728
  • She said, "the one that
  • 00:17:56.829 --> 00:17:57.629
  • She said, "the one that you love is sick."
  • 00:17:57.696 --> 00:17:58.797
  • You love is sick." but when he heard
  • 00:17:58.864 --> 00:17:59.598
  • But when he heard that lazarus was sick,
  • 00:17:59.665 --> 00:18:00.899
  • That lazarus was sick, he stayed where he was
  • 00:18:00.966 --> 00:18:03.936
  • He stayed where he was and lazarus died.
  • 00:18:04.002 --> 00:18:06.138
  • And lazarus died. on the fourth day,
  • 00:18:06.205 --> 00:18:07.339
  • On the fourth day, after the body was thought
  • 00:18:07.406 --> 00:18:08.407
  • After the body was thought to have been void of the spirit,
  • 00:18:08.474 --> 00:18:12.111
  • To have been void of the spirit, which evacuated according
  • 00:18:12.177 --> 00:18:13.212
  • Which evacuated according to their custom on
  • 00:18:13.278 --> 00:18:14.113
  • To their custom on the third day, jesus shows up.
  • 00:18:14.179 --> 00:18:16.815
  • The third day, jesus shows up. he shows up late and martha
  • 00:18:16.882 --> 00:18:19.184
  • He shows up late and martha meets him at the gate.
  • 00:18:19.251 --> 00:18:21.520
  • Meets him at the gate. and i wanna show you
  • 00:18:21.587 --> 00:18:22.154
  • And i wanna show you how far he's come,
  • 00:18:22.221 --> 00:18:23.155
  • How far he's come, because i asked the lord,
  • 00:18:23.222 --> 00:18:24.590
  • "where do i land this
  • 00:18:24.690 --> 00:18:25.791
  • "where do i land this message to help those who
  • 00:18:25.858 --> 00:18:28.060
  • Message to help those who feel like this today?
  • 00:18:28.127 --> 00:18:30.329
  • Feel like this today? who feel like this,
  • 00:18:30.395 --> 00:18:31.096
  • Who feel like this, no place to sit,
  • 00:18:31.163 --> 00:18:31.930
  • No place to sit, no one to help,
  • 00:18:31.997 --> 00:18:32.631
  • No one to help, nothing to think."
  • 00:18:32.698 --> 00:18:34.166
  • Nothing to think." and i realized that
  • 00:18:34.233 --> 00:18:35.267
  • And i realized that although in the passage
  • 00:18:35.334 --> 00:18:36.368
  • Although in the passage it only ends with martha
  • 00:18:36.435 --> 00:18:38.403
  • It only ends with martha being corrected, in john 11,
  • 00:18:38.470 --> 00:18:41.707
  • Being corrected, in john 11, give me the scripture
  • 00:18:41.773 --> 00:18:42.441
  • On the screen, please.
  • 00:18:42.541 --> 00:18:44.476
  • On the screen, please. she calls him, "lord."
  • 00:18:44.543 --> 00:18:46.512
  • She calls him, "lord." remember her brother has died,
  • 00:18:46.578 --> 00:18:48.780
  • Remember her brother has died, but he's still lord.
  • 00:18:48.847 --> 00:18:50.849
  • But he's still lord. remember he disappointed
  • 00:18:50.916 --> 00:18:52.951
  • Remember he disappointed her expectations,
  • 00:18:53.018 --> 00:18:54.319
  • Her expectations, but he's still lord.
  • 00:18:54.386 --> 00:18:56.622
  • Remember he didn't do
  • 00:18:56.722 --> 00:18:57.990
  • Remember he didn't do what she asked him to do,
  • 00:18:58.056 --> 00:19:00.092
  • What she asked him to do, but he's still lord.
  • 00:19:00.159 --> 00:19:02.027
  • But he's still lord. and i'm about to show you
  • 00:19:02.094 --> 00:19:02.961
  • And i'm about to show you one of the most major
  • 00:19:03.028 --> 00:19:03.929
  • One of the most major transformations in scripture.
  • 00:19:03.996 --> 00:19:05.731
  • Transformations in scripture. here is this woman, martha,
  • 00:19:05.797 --> 00:19:07.299
  • Here is this woman, martha, martha, who was so distracted
  • 00:19:07.366 --> 00:19:08.400
  • Martha, who was so distracted and divided that she was
  • 00:19:08.467 --> 00:19:09.768
  • And divided that she was coming apart at the seams.
  • 00:19:09.835 --> 00:19:12.171
  • Coming apart at the seams. "does anybody care
  • 00:19:12.237 --> 00:19:13.105
  • "does anybody care that i'm slaving?
  • 00:19:13.172 --> 00:19:14.606
  • That i'm slaving? does anybody care

  • Does anybody care that i'm working?

  • That i'm working? does anybody care
  • 00:19:16.508 --> 00:19:17.543
  • That i'm serving?
  • 00:19:17.643 --> 00:19:18.410
  • That i'm serving? "'lord,' martha said to jesus,
  • 00:19:18.477 --> 00:19:20.078
  • "'lord,' martha said to jesus, 'if you had been here,

  • 'if you had been here, my brother would not have died.

  • My brother would not have died. but i know that even now god

  • Will give you whatever you ask.'"

  • You missed it,
  • 00:19:37.362 --> 00:19:38.630
  • You missed it, there's been a switch.
  • 00:19:38.697 --> 00:19:40.465
  • There's been a switch. tell somebody,

  • >> when we saw martha in luke 10,
  • 00:19:45.003 --> 00:19:46.805
  • Martha in luke 10, she was working off her list.
  • 00:19:46.872 --> 00:19:50.008
  • She was working off her list. but look what she says
  • 00:19:50.075 --> 00:19:50.909
  • In john 11:22,
  • 00:19:51.009 --> 00:19:53.178
  • In john 11:22, "but i know that even now
  • 00:19:53.245 --> 00:19:54.112
  • "but i know that even now god will give you

  • God will give you whatever you ask."
  • 00:19:56.982 --> 00:19:59.885
  • Whatever you ask." so, she has learned
  • 00:19:59.952 --> 00:20:00.919
  • A life lesson, it is his list,
  • 00:20:01.019 --> 00:20:04.723
  • A life lesson, it is his list, not my list that matters
