  • A rider in advance with the two that went.
  • 00:05:17.969 --> 00:05:19.604
  • "you know,
  • 00:05:19.705 --> 00:05:20.072
  • "you know, jesus only eats brown m&ms,
  • 00:05:20.138 --> 00:05:21.139
  • Jesus only eats brown m&ms, so make sure when he comes --
  • 00:05:21.206 --> 00:05:23.408
  • So make sure when he comes -- you know, he's not a rock star,
  • 00:05:23.475 --> 00:05:24.509
  • You know, he's not a rock star, he is the rock of ages.
  • 00:05:24.576 --> 00:05:27.679
  • He is the rock of ages. he just told 'em,
  • 00:05:27.746 --> 00:05:28.380
  • He just told 'em, "eat whatever is set before you
  • 00:05:28.447 --> 00:05:29.448
  • "eat whatever is set before you when i send you out."
  • 00:05:29.514 --> 00:05:30.182
  • When i send you out." so, jesus is cool.
  • 00:05:30.248 --> 00:05:31.116
  • So, jesus is cool. jesus is just, you know --
  • 00:05:31.183 --> 00:05:33.151
  • Jesus is just, you know -- i was gonna say jesus is just --
  • 00:05:33.218 --> 00:05:34.553
  • I was gonna say jesus is just -- no, i'm not gonna say it.

  • No, i'm not gonna say it. i'll tell you later.
  • 00:05:35.821 --> 00:05:36.722
  • I'll tell you later. but jesus will just show up
  • 00:05:36.788 --> 00:05:37.656
  • But jesus will just show up and eat whatever you
  • 00:05:37.723 --> 00:05:38.223
  • And eat whatever you put before him.
  • 00:05:38.290 --> 00:05:38.890
  • Put before him. so, let me ask you a question.
  • 00:05:38.957 --> 00:05:41.693
  • 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."

  • Kind of lazy, spacey. jesus," you know, you get
  • 00:06:23.602 --> 00:06:24.269

  • 00:10:21.640 --> 00:10:24.009
  • For this week before you start it and ask the question,
  • 00:10:24.075 --> 00:10:26.211
  • "is this your list, lord?
  • 00:10:26.311 --> 00:10:28.747
  • "is this your list, lord? is there stuff on this list that
  • 00:10:28.813 --> 00:10:31.449
  • Is there stuff on this list that i'm doing just to look good
  • 00:10:31.516 --> 00:10:32.684
  • I'm doing just to look good and impress others that you
  • 00:10:32.751 --> 00:10:35.120
  • And impress others that you never called me to do?"
  • 00:10:35.186 --> 00:10:36.988
  • Never called me to do?" oh, i'm preaching now.
  • 00:10:37.055 --> 00:10:39.391
  • Because sometimes
  • 00:10:39.491 --> 00:10:39.924
  • Because sometimes we label it responsible.
  • 00:10:39.991 --> 00:10:42.460
  • We label it responsible. but sometimes what we do in
  • 00:10:42.527 --> 00:10:43.495
  • But sometimes what we do in an effort to appear responsible
  • 00:10:43.561 --> 00:10:45.397
  • An effort to appear responsible is really out of the comparisons
  • 00:10:45.463 --> 00:10:46.665
  • Is really out of the comparisons that we've made with people
  • 00:10:46.731 --> 00:10:47.732
  • That we've made with people that we don't really know.
  • 00:10:47.799 --> 00:10:50.902
  • That we don't really know. whose list is this?

  • 00:10:57.809 --> 00:10:58.843
  • And they told me some story about what chemicals

  • "no." "sounds like if you
  • 00:11:18.463 --> 00:11:19.264
  • "sounds like if you didn't purchase it,
  • 00:11:19.330 --> 00:11:22.067
  • Didn't purchase it, and you didn't prepare it,
  • 00:11:22.133 --> 00:11:25.437
  • And you didn't prepare it, then you don't get
  • 00:11:25.503 --> 00:11:26.638

  • "jesus, i need help with this list."
  • 00:14:03.695 --> 00:14:04.262
  • With this list." now, i'm gonna show you
  • 00:14:04.329 --> 00:14:06.064
  • Now, i'm gonna show you how far martha comes
  • 00:14:06.130 --> 00:14:07.198
  • How far martha comes in this scripture.
  • 00:14:07.265 --> 00:14:08.666
  • In this scripture. and y'all can sit down
  • 00:14:08.733 --> 00:14:10.134
  • And y'all can sit down and i want you to come up
  • 00:14:10.201 --> 00:14:11.002
  • Because martha, in this passage,
  • 00:14:11.102 --> 00:14:16.007
  • Because martha, in this passage, she's in a tough spot.
  • 00:14:16.074 --> 00:14:18.977
  • She's in a tough spot. she's in a really tough spot.
  • 00:14:19.043 --> 00:14:22.413
  • She's in a really tough spot. and in a way we don't get
  • 00:14:22.480 --> 00:14:23.414
  • And in a way we don't get much closure in the passage
  • 00:14:23.481 --> 00:14:24.549
  • Much closure in the passage itself because,
  • 00:14:24.616 --> 00:14:26.284
  • Itself because, it kind of just
  • 00:14:26.351 --> 00:14:26.851
  • It kind of just ends with jesus saying,
  • 00:14:26.918 --> 00:14:27.819
  • Ends with jesus saying, "hey, i know you're resourceful.
  • 00:14:27.886 --> 00:14:28.887
  • "hey, i know you're resourceful. i know you're responsible.
  • 00:14:28.953 --> 00:14:29.821
  • I know you're responsible. i know you're respectful,
  • 00:14:29.888 --> 00:14:31.022
  • I know you're respectful, but mary is present."
  • 00:14:31.089 --> 00:14:33.358
  • But mary is present." and martha isn't present,
  • 00:14:33.424 --> 00:14:37.762
  • And martha isn't present, she's pulled.
  • 00:14:37.829 --> 00:14:41.165
  • So, since she's pulled...
  • 00:14:41.266 --> 00:14:47.105
  • So, since she's pulled... she begins to resent.
  • 00:14:47.171 --> 00:14:52.343
  • She begins to resent. it's a recipe for resentment,
  • 00:14:52.410 --> 00:14:53.544
  • It's a recipe for resentment, trying to please everybody,
  • 00:14:53.611 --> 00:14:54.679
  • Trying to please everybody, trying to be everything,
  • 00:14:54.746 --> 00:14:55.747
  • Trying to be everything, trying to achieve everything.
  • 00:14:55.813 --> 00:14:58.716
  • Trying to achieve everything. trying to achieve 8-pack abs
  • 00:14:58.783 --> 00:15:00.551
  • Trying to achieve 8-pack abs while also going back to school.
  • 00:15:00.618 --> 00:15:03.688
  • While also going back to school. all of that amalgamation of what
  • 00:15:03.755 --> 00:15:06.057
  • All of that amalgamation of what you think it means to achieve
  • 00:15:06.124 --> 00:15:07.592
  • You think it means to achieve that comes from culture,
  • 00:15:07.659 --> 00:15:08.359
  • That comes from culture, that comes from comparison,
  • 00:15:08.426 --> 00:15:09.394
  • That comes from comparison, that comes from condemnation,
  • 00:15:09.460 --> 00:15:10.395
  • That comes from condemnation, it does not come from christ.
  • 00:15:10.461 --> 00:15:13.598
  • It does not come from christ. it is a recipe for resentment.
  • 00:15:13.665 --> 00:15:15.099
  • It is a recipe for resentment. and for you to just keep
  • 00:15:15.166 --> 00:15:16.267
  • And for you to just keep adding to your life what you
  • 00:15:16.334 --> 00:15:17.568
  • Adding to your life what you think you need to be for
  • 00:15:17.635 --> 00:15:19.070
  • Think you need to be for god to love you more,
  • 00:15:19.137 --> 00:15:20.004
  • God to love you more, what you think you need
  • 00:15:20.071 --> 00:15:20.838
  • What you think you need to do for somebody else
  • 00:15:20.905 --> 00:15:22.040
  • To do for somebody else to love to more.
  • 00:15:22.106 --> 00:15:22.840
  • To love to more. what you think you need
  • 00:15:22.907 --> 00:15:23.808
  • What you think you need to achieve in order to be
  • 00:15:23.875 --> 00:15:24.909
  • To achieve in order to be worthy of the life that god
  • 00:15:24.976 --> 00:15:26.277
  • Worthy of the life that god gave you by his grace.
  • 00:15:26.344 --> 00:15:27.879
  • Gave you by his grace. remember, your expectation,
  • 00:15:27.946 --> 00:15:29.981
  • Remember, your expectation, even of yourself
  • 00:15:30.048 --> 00:15:31.649
  • Even of yourself plus other's limitations,
  • 00:15:31.716 --> 00:15:33.284
  • Plus other's limitations, even if it's your own,
  • 00:15:33.351 --> 00:15:34.786
  • Even if it's your own, minus grace is a recipe
  • 00:15:34.852 --> 00:15:37.522
  • Minus grace is a recipe for resentment.
  • 00:15:37.588 --> 00:15:41.659
  • For resentment. and now, martha's screaming
  • 00:15:41.726 --> 00:15:42.560
  • And now, martha's screaming in the kitchen,
  • 00:15:42.627 --> 00:15:43.094
  • In the kitchen, "does anybody care
  • 00:15:43.161 --> 00:15:45.363
  • "does anybody care that i'm tired?
  • 00:15:45.430 --> 00:15:47.966
  • That i'm tired? does anybody care that
  • 00:15:48.032 --> 00:15:50.401
  • Does anybody care that i'm doing this for them?
  • 00:15:50.468 --> 00:15:51.502
  • I'm doing this for them? does anybody care?"
  • 00:15:51.569 --> 00:15:52.670
  • Does anybody care?" jesus - this is what she said,
  • 00:15:52.737 --> 00:15:54.105
  • Jesus - this is what she said, "don't you care?
  • 00:15:54.172 --> 00:15:57.008
  • "don't you care? don't you care that i'm doing
  • 00:15:57.075 --> 00:15:58.109
  • Don't you care that i'm doing all the work by myself?"
  • 00:15:58.176 --> 00:15:59.310
  • All the work by myself?" and jesus said, "i care,
  • 00:15:59.377 --> 00:16:01.446
  • And jesus said, "i care, but not about your work.
  • 00:16:01.512 --> 00:16:03.614
  • But not about your work. i care about your worry.
  • 00:16:03.681 --> 00:16:06.684
  • I care about your worry. and you want me to help you
  • 00:16:06.751 --> 00:16:07.552
  • And you want me to help you with your work,
  • 00:16:07.618 --> 00:16:09.087
  • But i wanna help you
  • 00:16:09.187 --> 00:16:09.921
  • But i wanna help you with your worry.
  • 00:16:09.988 --> 00:16:11.990
  • With your worry. so, i wanna take your list

  • So, i wanna take your list and i wanna walk with you
  • 00:16:13.024 --> 00:16:13.891
  • And i wanna walk with you through it and i wanna
  • 00:16:13.958 --> 00:16:14.592
  • Through it and i wanna show you in this
  • 00:16:14.659 --> 00:16:15.593
  • Show you in this season of your life --"
  • 00:16:15.660 --> 00:16:16.661
  • Season of your life --" i'm not talking to martha,
  • 00:16:16.728 --> 00:16:17.495
  • I'm not talking to martha, martha anymore,
  • 00:16:17.562 --> 00:16:18.463
  • Martha anymore, i'm talking to you, you.
  • 00:16:18.529 --> 00:16:20.298
  • I'm talking to you, you. god wants to show you in this
  • 00:16:20.365 --> 00:16:21.466
  • God wants to show you in this season of your life where you
  • 00:16:21.532 --> 00:16:23.668
  • Are being paralyzed because
  • 00:16:23.768 --> 00:16:25.036
  • Are being paralyzed because you are being pulled.
  • 00:16:25.103 --> 00:16:27.572
  • You are being pulled. that's a picture of worry,
  • 00:16:27.638 --> 00:16:28.773
  • That's a picture of worry, isn't it?
  • 00:16:28.840 --> 00:16:29.273
  • Isn't it? being pulled on both sides
  • 00:16:29.340 --> 00:16:31.476
  • Being pulled on both sides and going nowhere.
  • 00:16:31.542 --> 00:16:33.277
  • And going nowhere. being pulled and spent,
  • 00:16:33.344 --> 00:16:35.113
  • Being pulled and spent, and tired, but making
  • 00:16:35.179 --> 00:16:36.447
  • And tired, but making no progress.
  • 00:16:36.514 --> 00:16:39.384
  • No progress. "don't you care, lord?"
  • 00:16:39.450 --> 00:16:40.785
  • "don't you care, lord?" he says, "i care.
  • 00:16:40.852 --> 00:16:41.452
  • He says, "i care. i care so much that i want you
  • 00:16:41.519 --> 00:16:44.122
  • I care so much that i want you to be present with me,
  • 00:16:44.188 --> 00:16:46.624
  • To be present with me, so that you do not resent
  • 00:16:46.691 --> 00:16:48.192
  • So that you do not resent the demands of your life
  • 00:16:48.259 --> 00:16:49.627
  • The demands of your life that you're trying
  • 00:16:49.694 --> 00:16:50.528
  • That you're trying to fulfill without me."
  • 00:16:50.595 --> 00:16:55.533
  • To fulfill without me." this is the same thing
  • 00:16:55.600 --> 00:16:56.300
  • This is the same thing that martha asked jesus,
  • 00:16:56.367 --> 00:16:58.569
  • That martha asked jesus, when her brother lazarus
  • 00:16:58.636 --> 00:16:59.837
  • When her brother lazarus got sick.
  • 00:16:59.904 --> 00:17:01.406
  • Got sick. does anybody know the story?
  • 00:17:01.472 --> 00:17:03.441
  • Does anybody know the story? wave at me if you know the story
  • 00:17:03.508 --> 00:17:04.909
  • Wave at me if you know the story of a man called lazarus.
  • 00:17:04.976 --> 00:17:07.378
  • Of a man called lazarus. did you know that
  • 00:17:07.445 --> 00:17:08.079
  • Did you know that his big sister was martha?
  • 00:17:08.146 --> 00:17:11.983
  • His big sister was martha? did you know that his village
  • 00:17:12.050 --> 00:17:12.784
  • Did you know that his village was called bethany?
  • 00:17:12.850 --> 00:17:15.119
  • Was called bethany? how must it have
  • 00:17:15.186 --> 00:17:15.953
  • How must it have felt for martha,
  • 00:17:16.020 --> 00:17:16.587
  • Felt for martha, not only to cook for
  • 00:17:16.654 --> 00:17:17.522
  • Not only to cook for jesus and his disciples,
  • 00:17:17.588 --> 00:17:18.556
  • Jesus and his disciples, but to care for a sick brother.
  • 00:17:18.623 --> 00:17:21.292
  • But to care for a sick brother. usually, men would pay
  • 00:17:21.359 --> 00:17:22.193
  • Usually, men would pay for the bills,
  • 00:17:22.260 --> 00:17:23.694
  • For the bills, but lazarus couldn't.
  • 00:17:23.761 --> 00:17:25.163
  • But lazarus couldn't. there's no mention of a husband,
  • 00:17:25.229 --> 00:17:26.197
  • There's no mention of a husband, martha is doing it by herself.
  • 00:17:26.264 --> 00:17:30.001
  • Martha is doing it by herself. and that's why it hit
  • 00:17:30.068 --> 00:17:31.135
  • And that's why it hit a nerve when she said,
  • 00:17:31.202 --> 00:17:32.703
  • A nerve when she said, "don't you care that she's
  • 00:17:32.770 --> 00:17:34.705
  • "don't you care that she's left me to do it by myself?"
  • 00:17:34.772 --> 00:17:36.507
  • Left me to do it by myself?" and it can feel like that,
  • 00:17:36.574 --> 00:17:38.476
  • And it can feel like that, and it has felt like that
  • 00:17:38.543 --> 00:17:40.211
  • And it has felt like that for some of us.
  • 00:17:40.278 --> 00:17:41.079
  • For some of us. "do you really expect me
  • 00:17:41.145 --> 00:17:42.213
  • "do you really expect me to be here and there?
  • 00:17:42.280 --> 00:17:43.114
  • To be here and there? i can only be one place
  • 00:17:43.181 --> 00:17:44.449
  • I can only be one place at one time."
  • 00:17:44.515 --> 00:17:45.116
  • At one time." that's right.
  • 00:17:45.183 --> 00:17:46.851
  • That's right. that's right.
  • 00:17:46.918 --> 00:17:48.219
  • That's right. and when lazarus got sick,
  • 00:17:48.286 --> 00:17:50.755
  • And when lazarus got sick, martha sent word
  • 00:17:50.822 --> 00:17:51.622
  • Martha sent word to jesus saying,
  • 00:17:51.689 --> 00:17:52.790
  • To jesus saying, "the one that you love is sick."
  • 00:17:52.857 --> 00:17:54.058
  • "the one that you love is sick." this is in john 11.
  • 00:17:54.125 --> 00:17:55.326
  • This is in john 11. you can read it
  • 00:17:55.393 --> 00:17:56.127
  • You can read it when you get home.
  • 00:17:56.194 --> 00:17:56.727
  • She said, "the one that
  • 00:17:56.828 --> 00:17:57.628
  • She said, "the one that you love is sick."
  • 00:17:57.695 --> 00:17:58.796
  • You love is sick." but when he heard
  • 00:17:58.863 --> 00:17:59.597
  • But when he heard that lazarus was sick,
  • 00:17:59.664 --> 00:18:00.898
  • That lazarus was sick, he stayed where he was
  • 00:18:00.965 --> 00:18:03.935
  • He stayed where he was and lazarus died.
  • 00:18:04.001 --> 00:18:06.137
  • And lazarus died. on the fourth day,
  • 00:18:06.204 --> 00:18:07.338
  • On the fourth day, after the body was thought
  • 00:18:07.405 --> 00:18:08.406
  • After the body was thought to have been void of the spirit,
  • 00:18:08.473 --> 00:18:12.110
  • To have been void of the spirit, which evacuated according
  • 00:18:12.176 --> 00:18:13.211
  • Which evacuated according to their custom on
  • 00:18:13.277 --> 00:18:14.112
  • To their custom on the third day, jesus shows up.
  • 00:18:14.178 --> 00:18:16.814
  • The third day, jesus shows up. he shows up late and martha
  • 00:18:16.881 --> 00:18:19.183
  • He shows up late and martha meets him at the gate.
  • 00:18:19.250 --> 00:18:21.519
  • Meets him at the gate. and i wanna show you
  • 00:18:21.586 --> 00:18:22.153
  • And i wanna show you how far he's come,
  • 00:18:22.220 --> 00:18:23.154
  • How far he's come, because i asked the lord,
  • 00:18:23.221 --> 00:18:24.589
  • "where do i land this
  • 00:18:24.689 --> 00:18:25.790
  • "where do i land this message to help those who
  • 00:18:25.857 --> 00:18:28.059
  • Message to help those who feel like this today?
  • 00:18:28.126 --> 00:18:30.328
  • Feel like this today? who feel like this,
  • 00:18:30.394 --> 00:18:31.095
  • Who feel like this, no place to sit,
  • 00:18:31.162 --> 00:18:31.929
  • No place to sit, no one to help,
  • 00:18:31.996 --> 00:18:32.630
  • No one to help, nothing to think."
  • 00:18:32.697 --> 00:18:34.165
  • Nothing to think." and i realized that
  • 00:18:34.232 --> 00:18:35.266
  • And i realized that although in the passage
  • 00:18:35.333 --> 00:18:36.367
  • Although in the passage it only ends with martha
  • 00:18:36.434 --> 00:18:38.402
  • It only ends with martha being corrected, in john 11,
  • 00:18:38.469 --> 00:18:41.706
  • Being corrected, in john 11, give me the scripture
  • 00:18:41.772 --> 00:18:42.440
  • On the screen, please.
  • 00:18:42.540 --> 00:18:44.475
  • On the screen, please. she calls him, "lord."
  • 00:18:44.542 --> 00:18:46.511
  • She calls him, "lord." remember her brother has died,
  • 00:18:46.577 --> 00:18:48.779
  • Remember her brother has died, but he's still lord.
  • 00:18:48.846 --> 00:18:50.848
  • But he's still lord. remember he disappointed
  • 00:18:50.915 --> 00:18:52.950
  • Remember he disappointed her expectations,
  • 00:18:53.017 --> 00:18:54.318
  • Her expectations, but he's still lord.
  • 00:18:54.385 --> 00:18:56.621
  • Remember he didn't do
  • 00:18:56.721 --> 00:18:57.989
  • Remember he didn't do what she asked him to do,
  • 00:18:58.055 --> 00:19:00.091
  • What she asked him to do, but he's still lord.
  • 00:19:00.158 --> 00:19:02.026
  • But he's still lord. and i'm about to show you
  • 00:19:02.093 --> 00:19:02.960
  • And i'm about to show you one of the most major
  • 00:19:03.027 --> 00:19:03.928
  • One of the most major transformations in scripture.
  • 00:19:03.995 --> 00:19:05.730
  • Transformations in scripture. here is this woman, martha,
  • 00:19:05.796 --> 00:19:07.298
  • Here is this woman, martha, martha, who was so distracted
  • 00:19:07.365 --> 00:19:08.399
  • Martha, who was so distracted and divided that she was
  • 00:19:08.466 --> 00:19:09.767
  • And divided that she was coming apart at the seams.
  • 00:19:09.834 --> 00:19:12.170
  • Coming apart at the seams. "does anybody care
  • 00:19:12.236 --> 00:19:13.104
  • "does anybody care that i'm slaving?
  • 00:19:13.171 --> 00:19:14.605
  • That i'm slaving? does anybody care

  • That i'm working? does anybody care

  • That i'm serving?
  • 00:19:17.642 --> 00:19:18.409
  • That i'm serving? "'lord,' martha said to jesus,
  • 00:19:18.476 --> 00:19:20.077
  • "'lord,' martha said to jesus, 'if you had been here,

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

  • Will give you whatever you ask.'"

  • You missed it,
  • 00:19:37.361 --> 00:19:38.629
  • You missed it, there's been a switch.
  • 00:19:38.696 --> 00:19:40.464
  • There's been a switch. tell somebody,

  • >> when we saw martha in luke 10,
  • 00:19:45.002 --> 00:19:46.804
  • Martha in luke 10, she was working off her list.
  • 00:19:46.871 --> 00:19:50.007
  • She was working off her list. but look what she says
  • 00:19:50.074 --> 00:19:50.908
  • In john 11:22,
  • 00:19:51.008 --> 00:19:53.177
  • In john 11:22, "but i know that even now
  • 00:19:53.244 --> 00:19:54.111
  • "but i know that even now god will give you

  • God will give you whatever you ask."
  • 00:19:56.981 --> 00:19:59.884
  • Whatever you ask." so, she has learned
  • 00:19:59.951 --> 00:20:00.918
  • A life lesson, it is his list,
  • 00:20:01.018 --> 00:20:04.722
  • A life lesson, it is his list, not my list that matters
