[laughter]
00:00:46.932 --> 00:00:48.767
When numbers 13
00:00:49.535 --> 00:00:50.769
When numbers 13 gets to verse 31, it's kind
00:00:50.836 --> 00:00:53.038
Gets to verse 31, it's kind of a battle of opinions.
00:00:53.105 --> 00:00:55.574
Of a battle of opinions. kinda like you got going on
00:00:55.641 --> 00:00:57.276
Kinda like you got going on in the world right now.
00:00:57.342 --> 00:00:59.478
In the world right now. everybody shouting
00:00:59.545 --> 00:01:00.212
Everybody shouting 'bout everything,
00:01:00.279 --> 00:01:01.246
'bout everything, making a bunch of noise.
00:01:01.313 --> 00:01:03.749
Making a bunch of noise. whole lot of ripple,
00:01:03.816 --> 00:01:04.583
Whole lot of ripple, not a lot of revelation.
00:01:04.650 --> 00:01:09.888
Not a lot of revelation. and when caleb
00:01:09.955 --> 00:01:10.989
And when caleb stood up, he was like,
00:01:11.056 --> 00:01:11.924
Stood up, he was like, "shut up, we can do it."
00:01:11.990 --> 00:01:13.759
"shut up, we can do it." 'cause they about to go
00:01:13.826 --> 00:01:14.493
'cause they about to go into the promised land.

Into the promised land. that's the saddest thing to me
00:01:16.595 --> 00:01:17.429
That's the saddest thing to me when holly was preaching.
00:01:17.496 --> 00:01:18.397
When holly was preaching. they built the altar,
00:01:18.464 --> 00:01:19.264
They built the altar, and god gave 'em
00:01:19.331 --> 00:01:19.832
And god gave 'em the ten commandments,
00:01:19.898 --> 00:01:20.699
The ten commandments, and then they went in
00:01:20.766 --> 00:01:21.366
And then they went in the wilderness 40 years, why?
00:01:21.433 --> 00:01:25.804
The wilderness 40 years, why? ripple.
00:01:25.871 --> 00:01:27.406
Ripple. watch.
00:01:27.473 --> 00:01:28.140
Numbers 13, go to 31.
00:01:28.240 --> 00:01:29.875
Numbers 13, go to 31. "but the men who had gone up,"
00:01:29.942 --> 00:01:31.176
"but the men who had gone up," with caleb.
00:01:31.243 --> 00:01:33.045
With caleb. only ones who said,
00:01:33.112 --> 00:01:33.912
Only ones who said, "we can do it,"
00:01:33.979 --> 00:01:34.413
"we can do it," is joshua and caleb.
00:01:34.480 --> 00:01:35.114
Is joshua and caleb. the ten others said this,
00:01:35.180 --> 00:01:37.249
The ten others said this, "we can't attack those people."
00:01:37.316 --> 00:01:41.120
"we can't attack those people." that's why i had y'all singing,
00:01:41.186 --> 00:01:42.521
That's why i had y'all singing, "i can't do it but
00:01:42.588 --> 00:01:44.556
"i can't do it but the great i am can," earlier.
00:01:44.623 --> 00:01:47.092
The great i am can," earlier. that's why we wrote that,
00:01:47.159 --> 00:01:47.759
That's why we wrote that, so you can acknowledge it.
00:01:47.826 --> 00:01:48.927
So you can acknowledge it. "we can't attack those people,
00:01:48.994 --> 00:01:50.596
"we can't attack those people, they are stronger than we are."
00:01:50.662 --> 00:01:53.832
They are stronger than we are." now, stay there.

Back, right there. stronger than we are.

Stronger than we are. now, watch what happens,

Now, watch what happens, verse 32.
00:02:07.312 --> 00:02:07.880
Verse 32. "and they spread among
00:02:07.946 --> 00:02:08.780
"and they spread among the israelites a bad ripple --
00:02:08.847 --> 00:02:12.918
The israelites a bad ripple -- a bad report."
00:02:12.985 --> 00:02:15.454
A bad report." bad reports have ripples.
00:02:15.521 --> 00:02:18.457
Bad reports have ripples. "a bad report about the land
00:02:18.524 --> 00:02:20.192
"a bad report about the land they had explored."
00:02:20.259 --> 00:02:21.059
They had explored." about what god
00:02:21.126 --> 00:02:21.627
About what god wanted to give them,
00:02:21.693 --> 00:02:22.194
Wanted to give them, about the size of the giants.
00:02:22.261 --> 00:02:23.095
About the size of the giants. "and they said,
00:02:23.162 --> 00:02:24.163
"and they said, 'the land we explored devours
00:02:24.229 --> 00:02:25.330
'the land we explored devours those living in it.
00:02:25.397 --> 00:02:27.099
Those living in it. all the people we saw
00:02:27.166 --> 00:02:27.966
All the people we saw there are of great size.
00:02:28.033 --> 00:02:30.636
There are of great size. we saw the nephilim there
00:02:30.702 --> 00:02:31.703
We saw the nephilim there the descendants of anak
00:02:31.770 --> 00:02:32.571
The descendants of anak come from the nephilim.
00:02:32.638 --> 00:02:33.539
Come from the nephilim. we seemed like grasshoppers
00:02:33.605 --> 00:02:35.340
We seemed like grasshoppers in our own eyes,'"
00:02:35.407 --> 00:02:37.743
In our own eyes,'" in our own eyes,
00:02:37.809 --> 00:02:39.211
In our own eyes, "and we looked the same
00:02:39.278 --> 00:02:40.078
"and we looked the same to them."
00:02:40.145 --> 00:02:40.612
To them." but why in the world
00:02:40.679 --> 00:02:41.346
But why in the world would you start with your eyes
00:02:41.413 --> 00:02:43.815
Would you start with your eyes if you're receiving
00:02:43.882 --> 00:02:44.483
If you're receiving god's promise?
00:02:44.550 --> 00:02:48.020
I told you at
00:02:48.120 --> 00:02:48.554
I told you at the beginning of my sermon,
00:02:48.620 --> 00:02:49.621
The beginning of my sermon, it's what you see
00:02:49.688 --> 00:02:50.422
It's what you see and what god says.
00:02:50.489 --> 00:02:51.256
And what god says. god said you can have it
00:02:51.323 --> 00:02:52.157
God said you can have it and you see that you can't.
00:02:52.224 --> 00:02:54.726
And you see that you can't. which one is your rock?
00:02:54.793 --> 00:02:57.396
Which one is your rock? what you building on?
00:02:57.462 --> 00:02:58.964
Verse 31 again, please.
00:02:59.064 --> 00:03:01.833
Verse 31 again, please. "they are stronger
00:03:01.900 --> 00:03:03.168
"they are stronger than we are."
00:03:03.235 --> 00:03:04.870
Than we are." that's true.
00:03:04.937 --> 00:03:06.905
The disease is stronger than
00:03:07.005 --> 00:03:08.240
The disease is stronger than your body right now.
00:03:08.307 --> 00:03:09.808
Your body right now. that is true.
00:03:09.875 --> 00:03:11.343
That is true. the shame is real because
00:03:11.410 --> 00:03:13.779
The shame is real because the event really happened,
00:03:13.845 --> 00:03:15.047
The event really happened, that's true.
00:03:15.113 --> 00:03:16.181
That's true. the guilt is real because
00:03:16.248 --> 00:03:17.883
The guilt is real because you really would have
00:03:17.950 --> 00:03:18.483
You really would have done it differently.
00:03:18.550 --> 00:03:19.218
Done it differently. that's true.
00:03:19.284 --> 00:03:20.252
That's true. all of that is true,
00:03:20.319 --> 00:03:22.321
All of that is true, but it's not
00:03:22.387 --> 00:03:22.688
Your starting place.

Your starting place. and this is a principle that

With your smarts, if you start
00:03:41.707 --> 00:03:42.274
If you start with your anything,

With your anything, you end in defeat
00:03:43.942 --> 00:03:45.477
You end in defeat because you run out.

00:04:55.480 --> 00:04:58.817
You feel when you wake up. you gotta reverse that.
00:04:58.884 --> 00:05:00.585
You gotta reverse that. no, no, the first thing
00:05:00.652 --> 00:05:01.653
No, no, the first thing i'm not doing when i wake up
00:05:01.720 --> 00:05:02.587
I'm not doing when i wake up in the morning is
00:05:02.654 --> 00:05:03.488
In the morning is consulting my stress level.
00:05:03.555 --> 00:05:05.390
Consulting my stress level. my stress level will keep me
00:05:05.457 --> 00:05:07.025
My stress level will keep me under all these sheets.
00:05:07.092 --> 00:05:09.161
Under all these sheets. but at some point, i've got
00:05:09.227 --> 00:05:10.662
But at some point, i've got to throw off the covers,
00:05:10.729 --> 00:05:12.497
To throw off the covers, i've got to stand up on my feet,
00:05:12.564 --> 00:05:14.466
I've got to stand up on my feet, i've got to declare that
00:05:14.533 --> 00:05:16.034
What god called me to do
00:05:16.134 --> 00:05:17.502
What god called me to do today will be done today,
00:05:17.569 --> 00:05:19.671
Today will be done today, and what he called me
00:05:19.738 --> 00:05:20.806
And what he called me to do tomorrow can
00:05:20.872 --> 00:05:21.973
To do tomorrow can wait till tomorrow,
00:05:22.040 --> 00:05:23.709
Wait till tomorrow, and what he never
00:05:23.775 --> 00:05:24.443
And what he never called me to do,
00:05:24.509 --> 00:05:25.210
Called me to do, somebody else can do
00:05:25.277 --> 00:05:26.411
Somebody else can do because i am not responsible
00:05:26.478 --> 00:05:28.080
Because i am not responsible for their ripple.
00:05:28.146 --> 00:05:28.747
[applause]
00:05:29.047 --> 00:05:34.252
So, you cannot fix
00:05:34.619 --> 00:05:36.088
So, you cannot fix the ripple until you
00:05:36.154 --> 00:05:37.656
The ripple until you find the rock.
00:05:37.723 --> 00:05:39.725
Find the rock. and the problem with
00:05:39.791 --> 00:05:40.792
And the problem with god's people in this passage
00:05:40.859 --> 00:05:42.761
God's people in this passage has really not changed
00:05:42.828 --> 00:05:44.396
Has really not changed very much at all, has it?
00:05:44.463 --> 00:05:46.998
Very much at all, has it? they have allowed their identity
00:05:47.065 --> 00:05:49.901
They have allowed their identity to become filtered
00:05:49.968 --> 00:05:51.536
To become filtered through an event.
00:05:51.603 --> 00:05:54.940
Through an event. an event.
00:05:55.006 --> 00:05:57.075
An event. we didn't go into the wild --
00:05:57.142 --> 00:06:00.278
We didn't go into the wild -- we stayed in the wilderness
00:06:00.345 --> 00:06:01.947
We stayed in the wilderness because of an event.
00:06:02.013 --> 00:06:03.682
Because of an event. we did not have our confidence
00:06:03.749 --> 00:06:05.183
We did not have our confidence because we came from egypt
00:06:05.250 --> 00:06:07.252
Because we came from egypt where we were slaves.
00:06:07.319 --> 00:06:09.354
Where we were slaves. but slavery was the event,
00:06:09.421 --> 00:06:11.890
But slavery was the event, not the identity.
00:06:11.957 --> 00:06:13.859
Not the identity. help me, holy spirit.
00:06:13.925 --> 00:06:15.861
Help me, holy spirit. somebody right now
00:06:15.927 --> 00:06:16.995
Somebody right now who's been divorced.
00:06:17.062 --> 00:06:18.730
Who's been divorced. somebody right now
00:06:18.797 --> 00:06:19.731
Somebody right now who's had an abortion.
00:06:19.798 --> 00:06:21.233
Who's had an abortion. somebody right now who
00:06:21.299 --> 00:06:22.300
Tried to take your own life.
00:06:22.401 --> 00:06:24.102
Tried to take your own life. somebody right now who has never
00:06:24.169 --> 00:06:26.037
Somebody right now who has never been able to hold down a job.
00:06:26.104 --> 00:06:28.073
Been able to hold down a job. somebody right now who has never
00:06:28.140 --> 00:06:29.508
Somebody right now who has never been able to be good with money.
00:06:29.574 --> 00:06:31.243
Been able to be good with money. those are events.
00:06:31.309 --> 00:06:33.545
Those are events. they are not identities.
00:06:33.612 --> 00:06:36.014
Identities come from within.
00:06:36.114 --> 00:06:39.451
Identities come from within. it is christ in you,
00:06:39.518 --> 00:06:40.952
It is christ in you, the hope of glory.
00:06:41.019 --> 00:06:42.254
The hope of glory. he is your rock.
00:06:42.320 --> 00:06:43.989
He is your rock. and for everybody who
00:06:44.055 --> 00:06:45.590
And for everybody who has ever been rejected,
00:06:45.657 --> 00:06:47.626
Has ever been rejected, let me jump a few centuries
00:06:47.692 --> 00:06:49.127
Let me jump a few centuries to 1 peter 2:7 where peter
00:06:49.194 --> 00:06:51.963
Quotes the prophet saying,
00:06:52.063 --> 00:06:53.231
Quotes the prophet saying, "but to you who
00:06:53.298 --> 00:06:54.466
"but to you who believe this stone,"
00:06:54.533 --> 00:06:57.102
Believe this stone," we're talking
00:06:57.169 --> 00:06:57.903
We're talking about stones, right?
00:06:57.969 --> 00:06:59.037
About stones, right? "this stone being christ.
00:06:59.104 --> 00:07:01.373
"this stone being christ. this stone is precious.
00:07:01.440 --> 00:07:04.009
This stone is precious. but to those
00:07:04.075 --> 00:07:04.476
But to those who do not believe,"
00:07:04.543 --> 00:07:05.410
Who do not believe," watch this, "the stone
00:07:05.477 --> 00:07:07.212
Watch this, "the stone that the builders rejected
00:07:07.279 --> 00:07:09.114
That the builders rejected has become the cornerstone."
00:07:09.181 --> 00:07:11.216
[applause]
00:07:11.583 --> 00:07:13.452
Stop living in the ripple
00:07:13.785 --> 00:07:15.187
Of their rejection.
00:07:15.287 --> 00:07:19.124
Of their rejection. they are not your rock.
00:07:19.191 --> 00:07:21.593
They are not your rock. i said they're not your rock.
00:07:21.660 --> 00:07:23.795
I said they're not your rock. they're not your rock.
00:07:23.862 --> 00:07:25.730
They're not your rock. they're not your rock.
00:07:25.797 --> 00:07:26.498
[applause]
00:07:26.832 --> 00:07:28.266
To the point that
00:07:28.700 --> 00:07:29.334
To the point that human ingenuity is
00:07:29.401 --> 00:07:30.268
Human ingenuity is so limited that they tried
00:07:30.335 --> 00:07:31.336
So limited that they tried to throw jesus away.
00:07:31.403 --> 00:07:32.871
To throw jesus away. they rejected the stone that god
00:07:32.938 --> 00:07:34.739
They rejected the stone that god built the whole thing on.
00:07:34.806 --> 00:07:37.642
Built the whole thing on. god is my rock.
00:07:37.709 --> 00:07:43.081
[applause]
00:07:43.381 --> 00:07:45.350
But first, something must
00:07:45.884 --> 00:07:50.722
But first, something must happen at this place where
00:07:50.789 --> 00:07:51.990
Happen at this place where your feet are right now.
00:07:52.057 --> 00:07:54.092
Your feet are right now. something must happen
00:07:54.159 --> 00:07:54.759
Something must happen at the place where
00:07:54.826 --> 00:07:55.393
At the place where you've stalled out.
00:07:55.460 --> 00:07:56.828
You've stalled out. something must happen at
00:07:56.895 --> 00:07:57.729
Something must happen at the place where you laid down.
00:07:57.796 --> 00:07:58.997
The place where you laid down. something must happen
00:07:59.064 --> 00:07:59.998
Something must happen at the place where
00:08:00.065 --> 00:08:00.499
At the place where you remain uncircumcised.
00:08:00.565 --> 00:08:01.700
You remain uncircumcised. something much happen.
00:08:01.766 --> 00:08:03.902
Something much happen. and isn't it amazing how almost
00:08:03.969 --> 00:08:06.605
And isn't it amazing how almost everything with god is opposite?
00:08:06.671 --> 00:08:09.574
Everything with god is opposite? a cross brings life, what?
00:08:09.641 --> 00:08:14.212
A cross brings life, what? no, cross is gruesome,
00:08:14.279 --> 00:08:15.614
No, cross is gruesome, a cross is death.
00:08:15.680 --> 00:08:16.248
A cross is death. no, a cross is glorious.
00:08:16.314 --> 00:08:19.918
No, a cross is glorious. rocks bring down giants.
00:08:19.985 --> 00:08:22.854
Rocks bring down giants. and i'mma tell you one more
00:08:22.921 --> 00:08:23.622
And i'mma tell you one more thing just to throw it in 'cause
00:08:23.688 --> 00:08:24.489
I feel like it's for somebody.
00:08:24.589 --> 00:08:25.790
I feel like it's for somebody. i don't know who it's for.
00:08:25.857 --> 00:08:26.958
I don't know who it's for. i don't wanna miss it.
00:08:27.025 --> 00:08:30.829
I don't wanna miss it. how fast the ripple happens
00:08:30.896 --> 00:08:33.532
How fast the ripple happens doesn't always tell you
00:08:33.598 --> 00:08:34.232
Doesn't always tell you how far it's gonna go.
00:08:34.299 --> 00:08:37.602
How far it's gonna go. some things in your life
00:08:37.669 --> 00:08:38.737
Some things in your life are going slow because god
00:08:38.803 --> 00:08:41.006
Are going slow because god is building something
00:08:41.072 --> 00:08:41.840
Is building something that's really, really big.
00:08:41.907 --> 00:08:43.808
[cheering and applause]
00:08:44.109 --> 00:08:45.043
Hmm?
00:08:45.443 --> 00:08:46.611
Hmm? put that in for free.
00:08:46.678 --> 00:08:49.214
Put that in for free. mhm.
00:08:49.281 --> 00:08:50.048
Mhm. this ripple may start slow,
00:08:50.115 --> 00:08:52.417
But it may spread wide.
00:08:52.517 --> 00:08:53.351
But it may spread wide. you don't know, you don't know.
00:08:53.418 --> 00:08:55.787
You don't know, you don't know. somebody packed that
00:08:55.854 --> 00:08:56.721
Somebody packed that little boy's lunch that
00:08:56.788 --> 00:08:57.689
Little boy's lunch that he fed to the crowd that day.
00:08:57.756 --> 00:09:00.926
He fed to the crowd that day. you might be a mom packing
00:09:00.992 --> 00:09:02.027
You might be a mom packing a lunch that we're gonna
00:09:02.093 --> 00:09:03.028
A lunch that we're gonna be talking about in boise,
00:09:03.094 --> 00:09:04.029
Be talking about in boise, and ballantyne, and botswana.
00:09:04.095 --> 00:09:06.197
And ballantyne, and botswana. that's the ripple.
00:09:06.264 --> 00:09:07.232
That's the ripple. that's the ripple.
00:09:07.299 --> 00:09:08.667
That's the ripple. that's how god does it.
00:09:08.733 --> 00:09:13.071
That's how god does it. he takes something
00:09:13.138 --> 00:09:13.638
He takes something as simple as a stone.
00:09:13.705 --> 00:09:15.874
As simple as a stone. and i love him because sometimes
00:09:15.941 --> 00:09:17.943
And i love him because sometimes the smallest pebbles have
00:09:18.009 --> 00:09:19.344
The smallest pebbles have the greatest purpose.
00:09:19.411 --> 00:09:22.747
The greatest purpose. there was a widow
00:09:22.814 --> 00:09:23.582
There was a widow in church one day,
00:09:23.648 --> 00:09:24.215
In church one day, she put two mites,
00:09:24.282 --> 00:09:25.383
She put two mites, two coins in the offering
00:09:25.450 --> 00:09:26.384
Two coins in the offering and jesus said,
00:09:26.451 --> 00:09:27.085
And jesus said, "that's the biggest ripple
00:09:27.152 --> 00:09:27.819
"that's the biggest ripple that's been put
00:09:27.886 --> 00:09:28.486
That's been put in that temple today."
00:09:28.553 --> 00:09:31.056
In that temple today." all the rich people,
00:09:31.122 --> 00:09:31.756
All the rich people, they didn't ripple at all.
00:09:31.823 --> 00:09:33.725
They didn't ripple at all. jesus saw that little pebble,
00:09:33.792 --> 00:09:34.492
Jesus saw that little pebble, he said,
00:09:34.559 --> 00:09:34.859
He said, "that's all she has
00:09:34.926 --> 00:09:35.427
"that's all she has right there."
00:09:35.493 --> 00:09:37.228
Right there." you see how
00:09:37.295 --> 00:09:37.762
You see how the smallest pebble can
00:09:37.829 --> 00:09:39.564
The smallest pebble can serve the biggest purpose?
00:09:39.631 --> 00:09:41.900
You see how the smallest rock,
00:09:42.000 --> 00:09:43.902
If the right guy's got it,
00:09:43.969 --> 00:09:45.670
Just enough rotations.
00:09:45.737 --> 00:09:48.106
Boom, and we are preaching
00:09:48.173 --> 00:09:49.074
About him every sunday.
00:09:49.140 --> 00:09:50.442
There's not a sunday that goes
00:09:50.508 --> 00:09:51.543
By that i don't tell you
00:09:51.610 --> 00:09:52.510
David killed goliath.
00:09:52.577 --> 00:09:54.679
Little pebble, big purpose.
00:09:54.746 --> 00:09:59.050
And yet, i wanna look at
00:09:59.150 --> 00:10:01.119
And yet, i wanna look at joshua 4:20 'cause this one
00:10:01.186 --> 00:10:03.555
Joshua 4:20 'cause this one is a little different.
00:10:03.622 --> 00:10:05.357
He said, "take the twelve
00:10:05.457 --> 00:10:09.628
He said, "take the twelve stones out,"
00:10:09.694 --> 00:10:11.730
Stones out," everybody say, "out."
00:10:11.796 --> 00:10:12.631
Everybody say, "out." >> congregation: out.
00:10:12.697 --> 00:10:13.531
>> congregation: out. >> "of the jordan."
00:10:13.598 --> 00:10:15.800
Because normally,
00:10:15.900 --> 00:10:18.036
Because normally, a ripple happens
00:10:18.103 --> 00:10:19.738
A ripple happens when you throw a stone in.
00:10:19.804 --> 00:10:26.845
When you throw a stone in. but this ripple is in reverse.
00:10:26.911 --> 00:10:31.549
But this ripple is in reverse. you're gonna tell your
00:10:31.616 --> 00:10:32.350
You're gonna tell your children what i did.
00:10:32.417 --> 00:10:35.754
Children what i did. and you think a ripple
00:10:35.820 --> 00:10:36.821
And you think a ripple only happens when a stone
00:10:36.888 --> 00:10:39.090
Only happens when a stone is thrown in,
00:10:39.157 --> 00:10:40.792
Is thrown in, but this ripple --
00:10:40.859 --> 00:10:42.527
But this ripple -- somebody shout, "this ripple."
00:10:42.594 --> 00:10:43.962
Somebody shout, "this ripple." >> congregation: this ripple.
00:10:44.029 --> 00:10:44.829
>> congregation: this ripple. >> come on, after all
00:10:44.896 --> 00:10:45.730
I've been through,
00:10:45.830 --> 00:10:47.499
I've been through, after all i've see god do,
00:10:47.565 --> 00:10:50.368
After all i've see god do, after all the reasons
00:10:50.435 --> 00:10:51.369
After all the reasons i shouldn't be here,
00:10:51.436 --> 00:10:53.004
I shouldn't be here, this ripple is not
00:10:53.071 --> 00:10:54.172
This ripple is not gonna happen because

It's gotta go. if it's pride, it's got to go.

And this woman, this woman of god
00:13:06.371 --> 00:13:07.705
This woman of god confirmed my message.
00:13:07.772 --> 00:13:09.140
Confirmed my message. she preached on altars,
00:13:09.207 --> 00:13:10.775
She preached on altars, she talked about rocks.
00:13:10.842 --> 00:13:12.310
She talked about rocks. i was already getting
00:13:12.377 --> 00:13:13.278
I was already getting ready to preach.
00:13:13.344 --> 00:13:14.279
Ready to preach. she talked about rocks,
00:13:14.345 --> 00:13:15.747
And then she went home and send
00:13:15.847 --> 00:13:17.382
A verse to our bible club.
00:13:17.448 --> 00:13:18.950
We've been --
00:13:19.017 --> 00:13:20.385
We've been going through
00:13:20.451 --> 00:13:21.119
The book of ezekiel.
00:13:21.186 --> 00:13:22.220
I wanna say stuck in
00:13:22.320 --> 00:13:23.221
I wanna say stuck in the weird part of ezekiel,
00:13:23.288 --> 00:13:24.856
The weird part of ezekiel, but that sounds sacrilegious.
00:13:24.923 --> 00:13:26.691
But that sounds sacrilegious. but the reason y'all don't think
00:13:26.758 --> 00:13:27.725
But the reason y'all don't think it's weird it's 'cause y'all
00:13:27.792 --> 00:13:28.326
It's weird it's 'cause y'all don't read it.
00:13:28.393 --> 00:13:28.927
Don't read it. so, anyway.
00:13:28.993 --> 00:13:30.228
So, anyway. judge me how you want,
00:13:30.295 --> 00:13:31.329
Judge me how you want, you can't condemn me.
00:13:31.396 --> 00:13:32.630
You can't condemn me. but she said -- she said --
00:13:32.697 --> 00:13:35.033
But she said -- she said -- it was 1:30 in the morning,
00:13:35.099 --> 00:13:37.068
It was 1:30 in the morning, she had preached from reflect,
00:13:37.135 --> 00:13:38.403
She had preached from reflect, she had poured her heart out
00:13:38.469 --> 00:13:39.938
She had poured her heart out and she said,
00:13:40.004 --> 00:13:40.471
And she said, "i gotta go do my key verse,"
00:13:40.538 --> 00:13:41.739
"i gotta go do my key verse," 'cause we swap around
00:13:41.806 --> 00:13:42.774
'cause we swap around and do the key verse.
00:13:42.841 --> 00:13:43.408
And do the key verse. i said, "i'll do it
00:13:43.474 --> 00:13:44.042
I said, "i'll do it for you today, babe.
00:13:44.108 --> 00:13:45.143
For you today, babe. i can do this for you."
00:13:45.210 --> 00:13:46.344
I can do this for you." i was gon' chatgpt a little bit
00:13:46.411 --> 00:13:47.478
I was gon' chatgpt a little bit and send it over but she said,
00:13:47.545 --> 00:13:49.514
And send it over but she said, "i'mma go do it."
00:13:49.581 --> 00:13:50.081
"i'mma go do it." and she said, "i'mma do it."
00:13:50.148 --> 00:13:51.850
And she said, "i'mma do it." and i'm gonna do it,
00:13:51.916 --> 00:13:52.917
And i'm gonna do it, and she sent it to me,
00:13:52.984 --> 00:13:53.952
And she sent it to me, and she sent ezekiel 11:19.
00:13:54.018 --> 00:13:56.120
And she sent ezekiel 11:19. and the lord said,
00:13:56.187 --> 00:13:56.821
And the lord said, "now you know that i've got
00:13:56.888 --> 00:13:58.022
"now you know that i've got the right message for you
00:13:58.089 --> 00:13:59.057
The right message for you about removing the rocks."
00:13:59.123 --> 00:14:01.092
Because the prophet said,
00:14:01.192 --> 00:14:02.427
Because the prophet said, "i will give them
00:14:02.493 --> 00:14:05.063
"i will give them an undivided heart,"
00:14:05.129 --> 00:14:07.932
An undivided heart," watch this, holly.
00:14:07.999 --> 00:14:09.801
Watch this, holly. 1:30 in the morning.
00:14:09.868 --> 00:14:11.669
1:30 in the morning. "and i put a new spirit in them;
00:14:11.736 --> 00:14:12.971
"and i put a new spirit in them; i will remove from them
00:14:13.037 --> 00:14:20.378
I will remove from them their heart of stone."
00:14:20.445 --> 00:14:24.616
Their heart of stone." now, i can fix the ripple,
00:14:24.682 --> 00:14:27.385
Now, i can fix the ripple, 'cause i found a rock.
00:14:27.452 --> 00:14:31.756
It's been my hard heart.
00:14:31.856 --> 00:14:35.326
It's been my hard heart. and the nature of the lord
00:14:35.393 --> 00:14:36.094
Is that he removes to reveal.
00:14:36.194 --> 00:14:39.931
Is that he removes to reveal. 'cause verse 20 says,
00:14:39.998 --> 00:14:41.299
'cause verse 20 says, and then when he does that,
00:14:41.366 --> 00:14:42.734
And then when he does that, when he gets
00:14:42.800 --> 00:14:43.167
When he gets to this jesus heart,
00:14:43.234 --> 00:14:43.835
To this jesus heart, this heart that is sensitive
00:14:43.902 --> 00:14:45.670
This heart that is sensitive to the wings of grace,

To the wings of grace, this grace that knows
00:14:46.905 --> 00:14:47.505
This grace that knows that you need him,
00:14:47.572 --> 00:14:48.006
That you need him, this heart that knows
00:14:48.072 --> 00:14:48.506
This heart that knows that he did it, not you,
00:14:48.573 --> 00:14:49.274
That he did it, not you, this heart that remembers
00:14:49.340 --> 00:14:50.375
This heart that remembers that you are in
00:14:50.441 --> 00:14:50.975
That you are in the bathroom stall long
00:14:51.042 --> 00:14:53.011
Before you are in boise,
00:14:53.111 --> 00:14:54.412
Before you are in boise, the heart that remembers
00:14:54.479 --> 00:14:55.380
The heart that remembers that the lord did this,
00:14:55.446 --> 00:14:57.315
That the lord did this, and that he's bigger
00:14:57.382 --> 00:14:58.082
And that he's bigger than our enemies.
00:14:58.149 --> 00:14:58.783
Than our enemies. that heart --
00:14:58.850 --> 00:14:59.250
That heart -- that heart of flesh,
00:14:59.317 --> 00:14:59.884
That heart of flesh, that heart that's justified
00:14:59.951 --> 00:15:00.885
That heart that's justified only by jesus,
00:15:00.952 --> 00:15:01.552
Only by jesus, made righteous only through him,
00:15:01.619 --> 00:15:03.054
Made righteous only through him, his blood, his word,
00:15:03.121 --> 00:15:06.190
His blood, his word, his covenant, his water,

00:15:20.338 --> 00:15:21.906
And be careful to keep my loss." now, stay with me for
00:15:21.973 --> 00:15:22.607

Is one more story that has nothing to do with jordan rivers
00:15:25.910 --> 00:15:28.346
Nothing to do with jordan rivers but it is in john's gospel,
00:15:28.413 --> 00:15:30.415
But it is in john's gospel, and the lord alerted it to me
00:15:30.481 --> 00:15:32.917
And the lord alerted it to me as a confirmation in the word
00:15:32.984 --> 00:15:34.118
As a confirmation in the word for those who are struggling
00:15:34.185 --> 00:15:35.119
For those who are struggling with shame, condemnation,
00:15:35.186 --> 00:15:36.688
With shame, condemnation, and rejection, and guilt,
00:15:36.754 --> 00:15:37.889
And rejection, and guilt, and it has been ripping

Through your sanity.

Every part of your life. and what's gonna happen if we

And what's gonna happen if we don't share this story right now

Don't share this story right now is that you're gonna think that
00:15:51.970 --> 00:15:53.137
Is that you're gonna think that the point of my message is that
00:15:53.204 --> 00:15:54.172
The point of my message is that you gotta pick up a big,
00:15:54.238 --> 00:15:55.139
You gotta pick up a big, heavy stone, and carry it
00:15:55.206 --> 00:15:56.007
Heavy stone, and carry it and show god that you really
00:15:56.074 --> 00:15:57.108
And show god that you really mean it this time.
00:15:57.175 --> 00:15:59.277
Mean it this time. but that's religion ripples.
00:15:59.344 --> 00:16:04.282
But that's religion ripples. we're dealing with rocks today.
00:16:04.349 --> 00:16:07.285
We're dealing with rocks today. and when jesus walked the earth,
00:16:07.352 --> 00:16:08.886
He did something very,
00:16:08.987 --> 00:16:10.855
He did something very, very interesting 'cause he was
00:16:10.922 --> 00:16:11.889
Very interesting 'cause he was the rock, he was the rock.
00:16:11.956 --> 00:16:15.927
The rock, he was the rock. and he demonstrated something
00:16:15.994 --> 00:16:17.161
And he demonstrated something one day in an unlikely way
00:16:17.228 --> 00:16:19.764
One day in an unlikely way to when john 8:3 please,
00:16:19.831 --> 00:16:21.899
On the screen.
00:16:22.000 --> 00:16:23.768
On the screen. it says,"
00:16:23.835 --> 00:16:24.268
It says," they brought a woman
00:16:24.335 --> 00:16:27.372
They brought a woman who was caught in adultery."
00:16:27.438 --> 00:16:28.006
Who was caught in adultery." now, i think that has
00:16:28.072 --> 00:16:28.639
Now, i think that has a double meaning.
00:16:28.706 --> 00:16:29.207
A double meaning. i think that she was caught,
00:16:29.273 --> 00:16:30.141
I think that she was caught, means that they saw
00:16:30.208 --> 00:16:30.842
Means that they saw her doing it.
00:16:30.908 --> 00:16:31.976
Her doing it. i also think that means that
00:16:32.043 --> 00:16:33.211
I also think that means that she didn't want to do it,
00:16:33.277 --> 00:16:34.645
She didn't want to do it, she was caught.
00:16:34.712 --> 00:16:38.916
She was caught. follow me?
00:16:38.983 --> 00:16:39.851
Follow me? >> congregation: yes.
00:16:39.917 --> 00:16:40.952
>> congregation: yes. >> i think when we get caught,
00:16:41.019 --> 00:16:42.120
>> i think when we get caught, usually we were caught.
00:16:42.186 --> 00:16:45.623
Usually we were caught. it's not that
00:16:45.690 --> 00:16:46.290
It's not that we wanted to do it.
00:16:46.357 --> 00:16:48.893
We wanted to do it. i wonder what rocks were
00:16:48.960 --> 00:16:49.994
I wonder what rocks were dropped in her life
00:16:50.061 --> 00:16:50.962
Dropped in her life to cause this ripple.
00:16:51.029 --> 00:16:53.598
To cause this ripple. but nobody wanted
00:16:53.664 --> 00:16:54.165
But nobody wanted to know that, did they?
00:16:54.232 --> 00:16:55.033
To know that, did they? no, they just brought her,
00:16:55.099 --> 00:16:56.167
No, they just brought her, charged her, made her stand
00:16:56.234 --> 00:16:57.869
Charged her, made her stand before the group, verse 4,
00:16:57.935 --> 00:17:00.004
Before the group, verse 4, "and said to jesus,
00:17:00.071 --> 00:17:01.372
"and said to jesus, 'teacher, this woman was caught
00:17:01.439 --> 00:17:03.274
'teacher, this woman was caught in the act of adultery.'"
00:17:03.341 --> 00:17:03.975
In the act of adultery.'" how right they were.
00:17:04.042 --> 00:17:05.410
How right they were. "'and in the law of moses
00:17:05.476 --> 00:17:06.611
"'and in the law of moses commanded us to stone
00:17:06.677 --> 00:17:08.179
Commanded us to stone such women.'"
00:17:08.246 --> 00:17:08.880
Such women.'" to stone such women.
00:17:08.946 --> 00:17:12.683
I just told you an event
00:17:12.784 --> 00:17:14.018
I just told you an event is not an identity.
00:17:14.085 --> 00:17:14.986
Is not an identity. she's not such woman.
00:17:15.053 --> 00:17:17.989
She's not such woman. she's not a such woman.
00:17:18.056 --> 00:17:21.225
She's not a such woman. who in the world do you think
00:17:21.292 --> 00:17:22.360
Who in the world do you think you are labeling people
00:17:22.427 --> 00:17:23.628
You are labeling people according to their worst mistake
00:17:23.694 --> 00:17:25.229
According to their worst mistake and lowest moment?
00:17:25.296 --> 00:17:26.297
And lowest moment? i'm about to show you
00:17:26.364 --> 00:17:27.198
I'm about to show you what jesus thinks about this,
00:17:27.265 --> 00:17:28.666
And for when you label yourself.
00:17:28.766 --> 00:17:32.103
And for when you label yourself. so, we gotta stone her, right?
00:17:32.170 --> 00:17:33.604
So, we gotta stone her, right? "what do you say?"
00:17:33.671 --> 00:17:34.472
"what do you say?" isn't that crazy how our text
00:17:34.539 --> 00:17:35.907
Isn't that crazy how our text in joshua had a question?
00:17:35.973 --> 00:17:37.542
In joshua had a question? what do these stones mean?
00:17:37.608 --> 00:17:39.477
What do these stones mean? and now, you got a group
00:17:39.544 --> 00:17:40.278
And now, you got a group of people, probably men,
00:17:40.344 --> 00:17:42.213
Of people, probably men, the pharisees and the teachers
00:17:42.280 --> 00:17:43.181
The pharisees and the teachers of the law were men,
00:17:43.247 --> 00:17:44.749
Of the law were men, and they wanna stone
00:17:44.816 --> 00:17:45.249
And they wanna stone the woman because they put
00:17:45.316 --> 00:17:47.051
The woman because they put her identity through
00:17:47.118 --> 00:17:48.319
Her identity through the grid of the event.
00:17:48.386 --> 00:17:50.088
The grid of the event. so, here's where we are,
00:17:50.154 --> 00:17:51.355
So, here's where we are, here's where you are,
00:17:51.422 --> 00:17:51.889
Here's where you are, you've been there.
00:17:51.956 --> 00:17:53.024
You've been there. you might be there right now.
00:17:53.091 --> 00:17:55.660
You might be there right now. "what do you say?"
00:17:55.726 --> 00:17:56.594
"what do you say?" what do these stones mean?
00:17:56.661 --> 00:17:57.995
What do these stones mean? what do you see?
00:17:58.062 --> 00:17:58.763
What do you see? let's see how the rock
00:17:58.830 --> 00:18:00.431
Let's see how the rock responds to their rocks.
00:18:00.498 --> 00:18:04.102
Responds to their rocks. verse 6, "they were using
00:18:04.168 --> 00:18:06.971
Verse 6, "they were using this question as a trap,
00:18:07.038 --> 00:18:11.676
This question as a trap, in order to have a basis
00:18:11.742 --> 00:18:12.910
In order to have a basis for accusing him."
00:18:12.977 --> 00:18:14.212
For accusing him." a trap.
00:18:14.278 --> 00:18:15.146
A trap. they're trying to trip him up.
00:18:15.213 --> 00:18:16.481
They're trying to trip him up. but he's the rock, he ain't gon'
00:18:16.547 --> 00:18:17.582
But he's the rock, he ain't gon' trip over what he is.
00:18:17.648 --> 00:18:21.285
Trip over what he is. stumbling block
00:18:21.352 --> 00:18:22.587
Stumbling block or a cornerstone.
00:18:22.653 --> 00:18:23.488
Or a cornerstone. it all depends
00:18:23.554 --> 00:18:24.155
It all depends on how you see him.
00:18:24.222 --> 00:18:26.090
On how you see him. "in order to have a basis
00:18:26.157 --> 00:18:27.258
"in order to have a basis for accusing him.
00:18:27.325 --> 00:18:28.359
For accusing him. but jesus bent down,"
00:18:28.426 --> 00:18:29.594
But jesus bent down," mhm, uh-huh, uh-huh.
00:18:29.660 --> 00:18:32.196
Mhm, uh-huh, uh-huh. zoom out so they can see
00:18:32.263 --> 00:18:32.964
Zoom out so they can see online what i'm doing.
00:18:33.030 --> 00:18:34.532
Online what i'm doing. not that i'm jesus,
00:18:34.599 --> 00:18:35.600
Not that i'm jesus, i'm just trying to make
00:18:35.666 --> 00:18:36.334
I'm just trying to make the text come alive.
00:18:36.400 --> 00:18:37.268
The text come alive. "and started to write on
00:18:37.335 --> 00:18:38.703
"and started to write on the ground with his finger."
00:18:38.769 --> 00:18:40.338
The ground with his finger." maybe he's writing her
00:18:40.404 --> 00:18:41.205
Maybe he's writing her a new story,
00:18:41.272 --> 00:18:42.206
A new story, maybe he's writing
00:18:42.273 --> 00:18:42.907
Maybe he's writing a new chapter,
00:18:42.974 --> 00:18:43.808
A new chapter, maybe he's writing
00:18:43.875 --> 00:18:44.609
Maybe he's writing something that she's gonna do,
00:18:44.675 --> 00:18:46.177
Something that she's gonna do, maybe he's writing down all
00:18:46.244 --> 00:18:47.211
Maybe he's writing down all their sins 'cause watch this.
00:18:47.278 --> 00:18:49.280
Their sins 'cause watch this. watch what happened when he did,
00:18:49.347 --> 00:18:50.414
Watch what happened when he did, when he stooped.
00:18:50.481 --> 00:18:50.882
When he stooped. verse 7, "when they kept on
00:18:50.948 --> 00:18:54.185
Verse 7, "when they kept on questioning him,
00:18:54.252 --> 00:18:54.986
Questioning him, he straightened up
00:18:55.052 --> 00:18:55.953
He straightened up and said to them,
00:18:56.020 --> 00:18:56.554
And said to them, 'let any one of you who
00:18:56.621 --> 00:18:58.022
'let any one of you who is without sin be the first
00:18:58.089 --> 00:18:59.323
Is without sin be the first to throw a stone at her.'"
00:18:59.390 --> 00:19:01.259
[applause]
00:19:01.592 --> 00:19:02.226
Watch what god does
00:19:02.960 --> 00:19:03.928
Watch what god does when they go to throw
00:19:03.995 --> 00:19:04.862
When they go to throw their rocks.
00:19:04.929 --> 00:19:05.396
Their rocks. watch what he does
00:19:05.463 --> 00:19:06.864
Watch what he does the next time guilt tries
00:19:06.931 --> 00:19:07.999
The next time guilt tries to tell you that you
00:19:08.065 --> 00:19:09.066
To tell you that you can never recover.
00:19:09.133 --> 00:19:10.168
Can never recover. watch what god does
00:19:10.234 --> 00:19:11.369
Watch what god does the next time you try
00:19:11.435 --> 00:19:12.336
The next time you try to go back to your past
00:19:12.403 --> 00:19:13.938
To go back to your past and imprison yourself over
00:19:14.005 --> 00:19:15.406
And imprison yourself over something everybody else
00:19:15.473 --> 00:19:16.807
Something everybody else has forgiven but you.
00:19:16.874 --> 00:19:19.477
Has forgiven but you. verse number 8 says as
00:19:19.544 --> 00:19:20.545
Verse number 8 says as they circled around her,
00:19:20.611 --> 00:19:23.548
As they circled around her,
00:19:23.648 --> 00:19:25.850
As they circled around her, "he again stooped
00:19:25.917 --> 00:19:27.218
"he again stooped and wrote on the ground."
00:19:27.285 --> 00:19:29.387
And wrote on the ground." next verse, "at this,
00:19:29.453 --> 00:19:30.855
Next verse, "at this, those who heard began
00:19:30.922 --> 00:19:32.023
Those who heard began to go away one at a time,"
00:19:32.089 --> 00:19:34.759
To go away one at a time," this is comical,
00:19:34.825 --> 00:19:36.194
This is comical, "the older ones first."
00:19:36.260 --> 00:19:39.096
"the older ones first." because if he was writing
00:19:39.163 --> 00:19:40.331
Their sins in the dirt,
00:19:40.431 --> 00:19:43.501
Their sins in the dirt, the ones who had
00:19:43.568 --> 00:19:44.268
The ones who had lived the longest
00:19:44.335 --> 00:19:45.102
Lived the longest had the most ripples,
00:19:45.169 --> 00:19:47.438
Had the most ripples, so they took off running
00:19:47.505 --> 00:19:48.773
So they took off running 'cause i got ripples.
00:19:48.839 --> 00:19:50.241
'cause i got ripples. if we really started listening
00:19:50.308 --> 00:19:52.043
If we really started listening what you've been through,
00:19:52.109 --> 00:19:53.511
What you've been through, you wouldn't be commenting
00:19:53.578 --> 00:19:54.512
You wouldn't be commenting on anybody else's instagram,
00:19:54.579 --> 00:19:56.247
On anybody else's instagram, would you?

So, i'm talking about the rock. not their rocks, the rock.

"he got down in the ground

"he got down in the ground and he began to write,

And he began to write, and they all started leaving,"

And they all started leaving," watch this,

"until," say it with me, "only jesus was left,"

"only jesus was left," say it again.

Say it again. "only jesus was left."

"only jesus was left." one more time for repetition,
00:20:20.838 --> 00:20:21.606
One more time for repetition, "only jesus was left,"
00:20:21.672 --> 00:20:25.142
"only jesus was left," because only jesus was right.

Until the only one right was the only one left.
00:20:34.986 --> 00:20:39.023
The only one who had
00:20:39.123 --> 00:20:40.691
The only one who had the right to throw a stone,
00:20:40.758 --> 00:20:42.893
He didn't throw it, he took it.
00:20:42.994 --> 00:20:45.930
[applause]
00:20:46.163 --> 00:20:48.065
You tell me about your sin,
00:20:48.566 --> 00:20:50.735
You tell me about your sin, let me tell you about his grace.
00:20:50.801 --> 00:20:53.371
Let me tell you about his grace. grace, grace.
00:20:53.437 --> 00:20:55.406
Grace, grace. god's grace.
00:20:55.473 --> 00:20:57.174
God's grace. grace that can pardon
00:20:57.241 --> 00:20:59.110
Grace that can pardon and cleanse within.
00:20:59.176 --> 00:21:01.012
And cleanse within. grace.
00:21:01.078 --> 00:21:02.179
Grace. somebody shout,
00:21:02.246 --> 00:21:02.980
Somebody shout, "grace, grace."

>> congregation: grace. >> that is greater
00:21:07.918 --> 00:21:09.553
>> that is greater than all of my sin.
00:21:09.620 --> 00:21:12.390
Than all of my sin. so, my sin sent a ripple,
00:21:12.456 --> 00:21:14.525
So, my sin sent a ripple, and his righteousness
00:21:14.592 --> 00:21:15.826
And his righteousness sent forgiveness.
00:21:15.893 --> 00:21:17.862
Sent forgiveness. so, my sin sent a ripple,
00:21:17.928 --> 00:21:20.164
So, my sin sent a ripple, but his death sent
00:21:20.231 --> 00:21:21.499
But his death sent a different message to my shame.
00:21:21.565 --> 00:21:24.468
And the bible says that
00:21:24.568 --> 00:21:26.437
And the bible says that it was just jesus and her.
00:21:26.504 --> 00:21:31.242
It was just jesus and her. and he looked around like
00:21:31.309 --> 00:21:32.143
And he looked around like he didn't know, verse 10,
00:21:32.209 --> 00:21:33.744
He didn't know, verse 10, and asked her a question.
00:21:33.811 --> 00:21:35.946
And asked her a question. "woman, where are they?"
00:21:36.013 --> 00:21:41.385
Oh, they didn't
00:21:41.485 --> 00:21:41.986
Oh, they didn't throw their rocks?
00:21:42.053 --> 00:21:43.954

You hear me? you don't even have
00:21:52.930 --> 00:21:53.531
You don't even have to prove it to them.
00:21:53.597 --> 00:21:54.765
To prove it to them. stop posting to prove it
00:21:54.832 --> 00:21:56.200
Stop posting to prove it and pray about it,
00:21:56.267 --> 00:21:57.234
And pray about it, and get down on your knees
00:21:57.301 --> 00:21:58.669
And get down on your knees with jesus and let him
00:21:58.736 --> 00:22:00.738
With jesus and let him restore your reputation.
00:22:00.805 --> 00:22:03.107
Restore your reputation. you walk different,
00:22:03.174 --> 00:22:05.710
You walk different, because while you're trying
00:22:05.776 --> 00:22:06.811
Because while you're trying to fix the ripple,
00:22:06.877 --> 00:22:08.979
To fix the ripple, he's trying to get you
00:22:09.046 --> 00:22:09.947
He's trying to get you to drop the rocks.
00:22:10.014 --> 00:22:12.216
To drop the rocks. yeah.
00:22:12.283 --> 00:22:14.752
Yeah. and i love what he gave her
00:22:14.819 --> 00:22:15.820
And i love what he gave her as a gift in verse 11,
00:22:15.886 --> 00:22:17.054
And i give it to you
00:22:17.154 --> 00:22:17.788
And i give it to you as i close today.
00:22:17.855 --> 00:22:19.390
As i close today. god, this message
00:22:19.457 --> 00:22:20.057
God, this message is heavy in my heart.
00:22:20.124 --> 00:22:21.792
Is heavy in my heart. there must be somebody with
00:22:21.859 --> 00:22:22.960
There must be somebody with a heavy heart of stone today
00:22:23.027 --> 00:22:25.930
A heavy heart of stone today that the lord wants to break.
00:22:25.996 --> 00:22:28.432
That the lord wants to break. and he looked around, and all
00:22:28.499 --> 00:22:31.202
And he looked around, and all the rocks were gone but one.
00:22:31.268 --> 00:22:35.639
The rocks were gone but one. all the rocks were gone but one.
00:22:35.706 --> 00:22:39.510
All the rocks were gone but one. and then, he told her,
00:22:39.577 --> 00:22:41.245
And then, he told her, "now that we got
00:22:41.312 --> 00:22:43.581
Rid of their rocks,
00:22:43.681 --> 00:22:47.752
Rid of their rocks, let's get rid of yours."
00:22:47.818 --> 00:22:49.286
[applause]
00:22:49.620 --> 00:22:50.621
Neither --
00:22:51.088 --> 00:22:55.025
Neither -- i don't even know who it's for.
00:22:55.092 --> 00:22:57.194
I don't even know who it's for. i don't even know who it's for.
00:22:57.261 --> 00:22:58.329
I don't even know who it's for. may not even be in the room,
00:22:58.396 --> 00:23:00.464
But he said, "you can go now
00:23:00.564 --> 00:23:03.801
But he said, "you can go now and leave your life of sin."
00:23:03.868 --> 00:23:07.905
You keep trying to fix the sin,
00:23:08.005 --> 00:23:10.007
You keep trying to fix the sin, that's the ripple.
00:23:10.074 --> 00:23:12.343
That's the ripple. but when he removes the stone,
00:23:12.410 --> 00:23:16.781
But when he removes the stone, when he takes that
00:23:16.847 --> 00:23:18.916
When he takes that hard place away.
00:23:18.983 --> 00:23:20.050
Hard place away. in fact, right now i want us
00:23:20.117 --> 00:23:22.153
In fact, right now i want us to stand to our feet and just
00:23:22.219 --> 00:23:23.220
To stand to our feet and just lift our hands to the lord.
00:23:23.287 --> 00:23:25.423
Lift our hands to the lord. just do it.
00:23:25.489 --> 00:23:25.923
Just do it. quit being so stubborn
00:23:25.990 --> 00:23:26.957
Quit being so stubborn about surrendering to god.
00:23:27.024 --> 00:23:30.294
About surrendering to god. quit letting that heart of stone
00:23:30.361 --> 00:23:31.829
Quit letting that heart of stone tell you what to do
00:23:31.896 --> 00:23:32.797
Tell you what to do and when to do it.
00:23:32.863 --> 00:23:33.764
>> there've been times
00:23:34.365 --> 00:23:34.999
>> there've been times in my life when i felt
00:23:35.065 --> 00:23:36.500
In my life when i felt something was holding me back,
00:23:36.567 --> 00:23:39.003
Something was holding me back, whether it was my past
00:23:39.069 --> 00:23:40.337
Whether it was my past or my beliefs about myself
00:23:40.404 --> 00:23:42.440
Or my beliefs about myself or my understanding of god,
00:23:42.506 --> 00:23:44.675
Or my understanding of god, and those things often
00:23:44.742 --> 00:23:46.243
And those things often kept me from moving forward.
00:23:46.310 --> 00:23:48.979
Kept me from moving forward. and that's exactly what
00:23:49.046 --> 00:23:49.980
And that's exactly what my husband addresses
00:23:50.047 --> 00:23:51.248
My husband addresses in his newest series,
00:23:51.315 --> 00:23:52.750
"running with purpose."
00:23:52.850 --> 00:23:54.452
"running with purpose." in this series,
00:23:54.518 --> 00:23:55.152
In this series, he encourages us to recognize
00:23:55.219 --> 00:23:57.188
He encourages us to recognize the beliefs that are
00:23:57.254 --> 00:23:57.988
The beliefs that are keeping us stuck and trust god
00:23:58.055 --> 00:24:00.691
Keeping us stuck and trust god to help us move beyond them.
00:24:00.758 --> 00:24:03.260
To help us move beyond them. it's not just
00:24:03.327 --> 00:24:04.094
It's not just about running a race,
00:24:04.161 --> 00:24:05.162
About running a race, it's about reclaiming your
00:24:05.229 --> 00:24:07.731
It's about reclaiming your story and finding freedom
00:24:07.798 --> 00:24:09.066
Story and finding freedom in god's truth and walking
00:24:09.133 --> 00:24:10.868
In god's truth and walking confidently in the purpose
00:24:10.935 --> 00:24:12.336
Confidently in the purpose that he has for you.
00:24:12.403 --> 00:24:14.371
That he has for you. this series opened my eyes
00:24:14.438 --> 00:24:16.140
This series opened my eyes to areas in my own life where
00:24:16.207 --> 00:24:18.275
To areas in my own life where i needed to let go of fear
00:24:18.342 --> 00:24:19.710
I needed to let go of fear and embrace faith.
00:24:19.777 --> 00:24:21.145
And embrace faith. when pastor steven said,
00:24:21.212 --> 00:24:22.513
When pastor steven said, "i was, but god,"
00:24:22.580 --> 00:24:24.782
"i was, but god," it gave me a way
00:24:24.849 --> 00:24:25.950
It gave me a way to reframe the moments
00:24:26.016 --> 00:24:27.551
To reframe the moments when i do feel stuck.
00:24:27.618 --> 00:24:29.286
When i do feel stuck. i was lost, but god found me.
00:24:29.353 --> 00:24:31.989
I was lost, but god found me. i was afraid,
00:24:32.056 --> 00:24:33.057
I was afraid, but god gave me courage.
00:24:33.123 --> 00:24:34.458
