00:00:00.050 --> 00:00:08.091
♪♪
00:00:08.324 --> 00:00:17.133
Hey family, i bring you greetings
00:00:17.901 --> 00:00:19.602
From jacksonville, florida.
00:00:19.602 --> 00:00:21.304
And i'm
00:00:21.304 --> 00:00:22.505
So encouraged by what god is doing through this broadcast.
00:00:22.505 --> 00:00:25.508
And you all writing
00:00:25.508 --> 00:00:26.342
In, calling in emailing us,
00:00:26.342 --> 00:00:28.278
Allowing us to know how
00:00:28.278 --> 00:00:29.512
This broadcast is impacting and blessing your life today.
00:00:29.512 --> 00:00:33.049
I believe today's message is going to challenge you.
00:00:33.049 --> 00:00:36.252
I believe it's going to charge you.
00:00:36.252 --> 00:00:37.821
I believe it's going to encourage you and push you
00:00:37.821 --> 00:00:40.490
Into being a part of this body of christ in unity.
00:00:40.490 --> 00:00:46.129
Oftentimes we think because we agree that we are unified.
00:00:46.129 --> 00:00:49.532
But as we go through the text in acts,
00:00:49.532 --> 00:00:51.634
We'll learn the difference between agreement and unity.
00:00:51.634 --> 00:00:55.472
Let's go into the word of god as it is already begin entitled
00:00:55.472 --> 00:00:59.075
One heart in a broken world.
00:00:59.075 --> 00:01:03.012
May we go back to what the word of god says.
00:01:03.947 --> 00:01:08.818
And glean from the word of god what god's heart is, what
00:01:09.953 --> 00:01:13.523
His desire is, what his mandate is for the children of god.
00:01:13.523 --> 00:01:17.427
I'm not talking to the world.
00:01:17.427 --> 00:01:18.995
I'm talking to those who say they believe.
00:01:18.995 --> 00:01:26.069
The reality is, is over
00:01:26.569 --> 00:01:27.670
The last two weeks, you've heard from pastors
00:01:27.670 --> 00:01:29.506
Who've been very emotional one way or the other.
00:01:29.506 --> 00:01:32.976
And they've forgotten to give their sheep
00:01:33.877 --> 00:01:36.112
The mind of christ, and instead they've given them emotion
00:01:36.112 --> 00:01:39.816
And opinion,
00:01:39.816 --> 00:01:41.050
And they've given them misguided instruction and information
00:01:41.050 --> 00:01:44.921
Based on what they think and what they see.
00:01:44.921 --> 00:01:49.125
And our job is to lead you back to the heart of jesus.
00:01:49.125 --> 00:01:53.029
And if that does not include unity,
00:01:53.029 --> 00:01:55.298
I am, in fact, reading from my personal scripture
00:01:55.298 --> 00:01:59.035
That is third timothy chapter one, verse one.
00:01:59.035 --> 00:02:02.138
Then i am the holy scripture,
00:02:02.138 --> 00:02:04.040
Which leads me back to perfect truth.
00:02:04.040 --> 00:02:06.209
Regardless of how i vote, regardless of my race,
00:02:06.209 --> 00:02:09.312
Regardless of my ethnicity, regardless of what zip code
00:02:09.312 --> 00:02:12.215
I grew up
00:02:12.215 --> 00:02:13.082
In, i need to have the mind of christ
00:02:13.082 --> 00:02:15.385
And then give you the mind of christ
00:02:15.385 --> 00:02:17.320
So that you can become more like christ alongside of me
00:02:17.320 --> 00:02:20.857
And not more like society and culture.
00:02:20.857 --> 00:02:24.260
And i wish i had a church that would say amen.
00:02:24.260 --> 00:02:32.302
So to all my pastors that are watching,
00:02:33.169 --> 00:02:36.172
And i know that you are.
00:02:36.172 --> 00:02:42.212
We are called to preach
00:02:42.712 --> 00:02:44.280
Christ crucified,
00:02:44.280 --> 00:02:47.350
Not force people to make a decision
00:02:47.350 --> 00:02:51.020
Of if they want to go to a church based upon
00:02:51.020 --> 00:02:54.157
Something that we can't find in scripture.
00:02:54.157 --> 00:02:59.529
If now all of a sudden, because of the senseless
00:03:00.496 --> 00:03:04.133
Acts of murder,
00:03:04.133 --> 00:03:05.602
You have boldness to speak truth,
00:03:05.602 --> 00:03:08.271
Then you have not been preaching and reading the same book.
00:03:08.271 --> 00:03:10.740
I have.
00:03:10.740 --> 00:03:15.044
Because this unchanging gospel
00:03:15.645 --> 00:03:18.648
Has told us and taught us to stand in boldness
00:03:18.648 --> 00:03:23.319
In season and out of season,
00:03:23.319 --> 00:03:26.322
On the mountaintop and in the valley.
00:03:26.322 --> 00:03:28.925
It is unchanging and it is constantly and will forever
00:03:28.925 --> 00:03:32.695
Give you victory if you apply it.
00:03:32.695 --> 00:03:36.065
But if your boldness comes from your political party.
00:03:37.133 --> 00:03:42.038
It will come and go.
00:03:42.472 --> 00:03:45.942
It has
00:03:46.175 --> 00:03:46.809
To stand on the word of god.
00:03:46.809 --> 00:03:49.812
Our anchor is not in arguments.
00:03:49.812 --> 00:03:53.116
Our anchor is in the authority of god's word.
00:03:53.116 --> 00:03:57.020
And what a perfect text to fit what we see
00:03:57.020 --> 00:04:00.256
Unfolding in our day, in time, right
00:04:00.256 --> 00:04:03.393
Before our very eyes.
00:04:03.393 --> 00:04:06.496
The scripture says
00:04:06.496 --> 00:04:08.831
That all who believed.
00:04:08.831 --> 00:04:12.268
That all who believed
00:04:12.268 --> 00:04:14.871
At all, who believed.
00:04:14.871 --> 00:04:17.874
When luke is writing this society was fractured
00:04:17.874 --> 00:04:20.209
By classism,
00:04:20.209 --> 00:04:22.578
Ethnic divide
00:04:22.578 --> 00:04:24.781
Systems that had been constructed
00:04:24.781 --> 00:04:26.582
And put in place by rome,
00:04:26.582 --> 00:04:29.018
Corruption, chaos,
00:04:29.018 --> 00:04:32.021
Violence, people were getting assassinated.
00:04:32.021 --> 00:04:35.391
There was political unrest there was racial tension,
00:04:35.391 --> 00:04:39.262
And this was the norm.
00:04:39.262 --> 00:04:40.930
Does this sound familiar?
00:04:40.930 --> 00:04:47.403
But there was a group of believers who believed that
00:04:48.438 --> 00:04:50.640
Jesus
00:04:50.640 --> 00:04:52.542
Was elevated above the situation and circumstances.
00:04:52.542 --> 00:04:56.179
So they called on the name of the lord.
00:04:56.979 --> 00:05:00.316
Luke highlights that the believers
00:05:00.316 --> 00:05:03.286
Were of one heart and soul.
00:05:03.286 --> 00:05:06.356
Hear me when i tell you this.
00:05:06.989 --> 00:05:08.191
They didn't erase their differences.
00:05:08.191 --> 00:05:11.060
They transcended them.
00:05:11.060 --> 00:05:13.763
In a culture obsessed with possessions
00:05:13.763 --> 00:05:16.733
And power, they modeled selfless unity.
00:05:16.733 --> 00:05:21.337
There's a word here in the greek that it describes so perfectly
00:05:21.337 --> 00:05:25.908
What we should be aiming for as the body of christ.
00:05:25.908 --> 00:05:28.911
This word in english is the word common,
00:05:28.911 --> 00:05:31.881
Which can be misconstrued as having everything in common.
00:05:31.881 --> 00:05:36.085
But that's not what this greek word means.
00:05:36.085 --> 00:05:38.221
The greek word utilize here is a greek word.
00:05:38.221 --> 00:05:40.957
Named koinos.
00:05:40.957 --> 00:05:43.459
This word means fellowshipping together,
00:05:43.459 --> 00:05:47.864
Sharing
00:05:48.097 --> 00:05:50.133
Possessions, laying down opinions
00:05:50.133 --> 00:05:53.770
And preferences to lift up a god given assignment.
00:05:53.770 --> 00:05:57.940
This is a contrast to the meaning
00:05:58.641 --> 00:06:02.812
That the cultural leaders had utilized this word
00:06:02.812 --> 00:06:06.582
For in this particular day and age.
00:06:06.582 --> 00:06:10.453
This same word was utilized by religious leaders
00:06:10.453 --> 00:06:13.923
As ordinary, profane, unclean.
00:06:13.923 --> 00:06:19.295
And luke takes that word, and he deliberately uses it
00:06:19.295 --> 00:06:24.033
As a two edged sword to remind people
00:06:24.033 --> 00:06:27.170
That jesus is the only thing that can take what society
00:06:27.170 --> 00:06:31.040
Has defined as unclean, and make it holy to bring unity
00:06:31.040 --> 00:06:35.111
To his body. in this time and age.
00:06:35.111 --> 00:06:40.683
So as
00:06:40.917 --> 00:06:42.051
Religious leaders utilize koinos
00:06:42.051 --> 00:06:44.420
To mean not holy or defiled, luke utilizes
00:06:44.420 --> 00:06:47.590
It as fellowship with your brothers and sisters
00:06:47.590 --> 00:06:51.828
And the early church context.
00:06:52.462 --> 00:06:53.963
Luke flips this
00:06:53.963 --> 00:06:56.499
What rome defined as low and poor.
00:06:56.499 --> 00:06:59.836
Luke defines.
00:07:00.203 --> 00:07:01.838
It's called and chosen
00:07:01.838 --> 00:07:05.241
What rome defined as less than and insignificant.
00:07:05.241 --> 00:07:09.212
Luke defines as anointed and set apart.
00:07:09.212 --> 00:07:13.649
You better be very careful with how you define
00:07:14.617 --> 00:07:17.587
The things that god has blessed,
00:07:17.587 --> 00:07:19.956
And the people that god has assigned.
00:07:19.956 --> 00:07:23.860
When i read this text,
00:07:24.327 --> 00:07:25.528
I was reminded.
00:07:25.528 --> 00:07:28.631
That redemption does not always fit
00:07:28.631 --> 00:07:31.868
My definition.
00:07:31.868 --> 00:07:35.304
And the spirit takes words
00:07:35.872 --> 00:07:38.808
That look uncommon,
00:07:38.808 --> 00:07:41.811
That look meaningless,
00:07:41.811 --> 00:07:44.847
That may even look defiled,
00:07:44.847 --> 00:07:48.384
And gives them a new definition that god
00:07:48.384 --> 00:07:50.887
Redeems and calls holy.
00:07:50.887 --> 00:07:53.923
So this word common
00:07:54.390 --> 00:07:56.559
In this particular
00:07:56.993 --> 00:07:57.894
Day and age, based upon who hears it,
00:07:57.894 --> 00:08:01.097
Could be received as disrespect.
00:08:01.097 --> 00:08:04.600
And luke utilizes it
00:08:05.067 --> 00:08:07.236
To teach the children of god the heart of god,
00:08:07.236 --> 00:08:11.240
And to bring them back into the fellowship
00:08:11.240 --> 00:08:13.175
Of knowing what it is that god desires for his children.
00:08:13.175 --> 00:08:16.979
So if you're writing notes, i want you to write this down.
00:08:16.979 --> 00:08:19.382
Point number one
00:08:19.382 --> 00:08:22.051
Unity is the church's
00:08:22.051 --> 00:08:24.654
Greatest miracle in a divided world.
00:08:24.654 --> 00:08:28.324
According to the text, those that believe,
00:08:29.225 --> 00:08:31.827
Those that believe, those that believe
00:08:31.827 --> 00:08:35.031
In a culture addicted to division, the early church
00:08:35.031 --> 00:08:38.234
Became the one place where hearts beat in sync.
00:08:38.234 --> 00:08:42.338
So what i want to do, i want to walk us through
00:08:43.339 --> 00:08:45.908
What the differences between agreement and unity,
00:08:45.908 --> 00:08:50.146
Because there is a difference.
00:08:50.746 --> 00:08:52.815
And sometimes we believe that when we read unity in scripture,
00:08:52.815 --> 00:08:56.252
It means that we have to agree
00:08:56.252 --> 00:08:58.554
And the reality
00:08:58.921 --> 00:08:59.689
Is, is unity is not agreement.
00:08:59.689 --> 00:09:02.959
So in order for us to decipher
00:09:03.559 --> 00:09:05.328
The difference, we must look at the source.
00:09:05.328 --> 00:09:08.965
Agreement comes from aligning opinions.
00:09:08.965 --> 00:09:13.369
Unity comes from sharing the same spirit.
00:09:13.369 --> 00:09:17.940
Agreement is built on what we think alike.
00:09:18.841 --> 00:09:22.445
Unity is built on who holds us together.
00:09:22.445 --> 00:09:27.383
I like to put it this way
00:09:27.950 --> 00:09:30.353
You don't have to like everyone,
00:09:30.353 --> 00:09:33.022
But you do have to love everyone.
00:09:33.022 --> 00:09:37.860
And i know you're thinking about some people
00:09:38.761 --> 00:09:40.496
That you're having a hard time loving right now.
00:09:40.496 --> 00:09:44.533
But god has mandated
00:09:45.001 --> 00:09:46.268
That you love even them.
00:09:46.268 --> 00:09:50.640
And i know they upset you over the last two weeks,
00:09:51.641 --> 00:09:54.276
And i know that some feathers have been ruffled based upon
00:09:54.276 --> 00:09:57.613
Opinions and preferences, but god has mandated you
00:09:57.613 --> 00:10:01.317
To love your neighbor as you love yourself.
00:10:01.317 --> 00:10:05.888
And i'm sorry that certain leaders in certain churches
00:10:06.989 --> 00:10:09.859
Have not modeled what scripture says,
00:10:09.859 --> 00:10:12.128
But you won't find opinion and preference here.
00:10:12.128 --> 00:10:14.964
You will find the word of god at the forefront of everything
00:10:14.964 --> 00:10:18.834
We do.
00:10:18.834 --> 00:10:23.673
And so we have to check the source.
00:10:24.407 --> 00:10:26.008
Who is the source behind how you feel?
00:10:26.008 --> 00:10:29.311
Who is the source behind your opinion?
00:10:30.112 --> 00:10:32.281
Who is the source behind your preference?
00:10:32.281 --> 00:10:34.250
You have to check the source.
00:10:34.250 --> 00:10:36.419
You also have to check the durability
00:10:36.419 --> 00:10:38.888
Of what it is that you are anchoring your hope in.
00:10:38.888 --> 00:10:41.424
Because agreement is fragile,
00:10:41.424 --> 00:10:44.593
One disagreement can break it.
00:10:44.593 --> 00:10:48.297
But unity is resilient.
00:10:48.831 --> 00:10:51.567
It survives disagreement
00:10:51.567 --> 00:10:53.669
Because it's rooted in covenant love.
00:10:53.669 --> 00:10:56.772
Agreement can be counseled,
00:10:57.373 --> 00:11:00.509
But unity must be crucified
00:11:00.509 --> 00:11:03.112
To be killed.
00:11:03.112 --> 00:11:05.815
And as long as we are a unified people,
00:11:05.815 --> 00:11:08.918
We don't have to agree on everything.
00:11:09.719 --> 00:11:12.655
But we can't agree on one thing.
00:11:12.655 --> 00:11:15.191
Jesus is still alive and will.
00:11:15.191 --> 00:11:18.394
He's still the king of kings.
00:11:18.394 --> 00:11:20.696
He's still the lord of lords.
00:11:20.696 --> 00:11:22.665
He's still the alpha and the omega.
00:11:22.665 --> 00:11:24.934
He's still the beginning and the end.
00:11:24.934 --> 00:11:27.603
And agreement,
00:11:27.603 --> 00:11:29.038
If you are pursuing it, will hurt you every single time.
00:11:29.038 --> 00:11:33.042
But unity
00:11:33.042 --> 00:11:34.276
When you pursue it, will lead you back to the feet of jesus.
00:11:34.276 --> 00:11:37.680
May we be a people that does not idolize politics
00:11:37.680 --> 00:11:40.416
And political parties.
00:11:40.416 --> 00:11:41.417
May we be a people
00:11:41.417 --> 00:11:42.485
That does not idolize skin color over who you are.
00:11:42.485 --> 00:11:45.721
Been called to be, which is a son
00:11:45.721 --> 00:11:48.057
And a daughter of the most high god. hear me family.
00:11:48.057 --> 00:11:50.793
If you think
00:11:50.793 --> 00:11:51.527
Because someone
00:11:51.527 --> 00:11:52.628
Is a particular political party
00:11:52.628 --> 00:11:54.363
That they are not
00:11:54.363 --> 00:11:55.030
Going to make it into heaven,
00:11:55.030 --> 00:11:56.432
You have idolized a party over the kingdom of god.
00:11:56.432 --> 00:11:59.602
You are going to be surprised at who you think
00:11:59.602 --> 00:12:03.205
Will not make it.
00:12:03.205 --> 00:12:03.973
That actually does not.
00:12:03.973 --> 00:12:06.509
Hey family, as we take a break, my prayer
00:12:06.509 --> 00:12:09.145
Is that this broadcast is blessing you.
00:12:09.145 --> 00:12:11.480
I pray this message as we journey
00:12:11.480 --> 00:12:13.149
Through the book of acts,
00:12:13.149 --> 00:12:14.450
Unlocks destiny on the inside of you.
00:12:14.450 --> 00:12:16.685
Remove the scales from your eyes
00:12:16.685 --> 00:12:18.687
And it removes whatever earmuffs you may have on your ears
00:12:18.687 --> 00:12:21.724
That are blocking you from hearing god.
00:12:21.724 --> 00:12:23.893
I want to provide to your resource today
00:12:23.893 --> 00:12:26.395
The bumpy road to better.
00:12:26.395 --> 00:12:27.830
This is my brand new book that was released, september
00:12:27.830 --> 00:12:30.866
The 2nd that i believe is going to bless your life.
00:12:30.866 --> 00:12:34.436
In this book, i talk about how we can unlock the power
00:12:34.436 --> 00:12:38.040
And hard things that we may be navigating in this life.
00:12:38.040 --> 00:12:41.477
And i believe that as we go on this journey of going towards
00:12:41.477 --> 00:12:45.381
Better, there's some bumps that we have
00:12:45.381 --> 00:12:47.116
To navigate, some mountains that we have to scale,
00:12:47.116 --> 00:12:49.451
And some giants that we have to defeat.
00:12:49.451 --> 00:12:51.754
I want to encourage you do whatever you can
00:12:51.754 --> 00:12:53.322
To purchase this book, the bumpy road
00:12:53.322 --> 00:12:54.990
To better at the bumpyroadtobetter.com.
00:12:54.990 --> 00:12:57.760
Let's go back into today's message as we continue to learn
00:12:57.760 --> 00:13:00.729
The word of god.
00:13:00.729 --> 00:13:02.731
Scripture says
00:13:03.065 --> 00:13:06.035
To those that believe
00:13:06.035 --> 00:13:09.471
Were of one heart
00:13:09.471 --> 00:13:12.575
And one soul,
00:13:12.942 --> 00:13:14.877
And no one said that any of the things
00:13:14.877 --> 00:13:19.782
That belong to them, where their own.
00:13:19.782 --> 00:13:24.053
Does it belong to you?
00:13:24.520 --> 00:13:25.487
Or does it belong to jesus?
00:13:25.487 --> 00:13:28.657
When i'm thinking about agreement
00:13:29.391 --> 00:13:30.593
And unity, i'm thinking about the scope of it.
00:13:30.593 --> 00:13:34.163
Agreement is about a specific issue or a moment.
00:13:34.163 --> 00:13:37.733
Unity is about a shared identity
00:13:37.733 --> 00:13:40.202
And mission.
00:13:40.202 --> 00:13:43.372
Is about a shared identity and mission.
00:13:43.372 --> 00:13:46.108
We can agree on a lot of things,
00:13:46.108 --> 00:13:47.743
But one thing that we can never
00:13:47.743 --> 00:13:49.311
Disagree on is that jesus christ is the answer and the solution
00:13:49.311 --> 00:13:54.550
To all of our problems and circumstances.
00:13:54.550 --> 00:13:59.388
Agreement connects us on points,
00:14:00.022 --> 00:14:02.825
But unity connects us on purpose.
00:14:02.825 --> 00:14:06.495
Agreement requires uniformity.
00:14:07.096 --> 00:14:10.299
Seeing things the same way.
00:14:10.299 --> 00:14:12.968
But unity requires humility,
00:14:12.968 --> 00:14:15.537
Valuing each other above ourselves.
00:14:15.537 --> 00:14:18.540
According to philippians chapter two, verse three,
00:14:18.540 --> 00:14:21.744
Agreement says, think like me.
00:14:22.344 --> 00:14:25.581
Unity says, walk with me.
00:14:25.581 --> 00:14:27.449
Even if you don't.
00:14:27.449 --> 00:14:33.422
Agreement can win an argument,
00:14:34.023 --> 00:14:37.326
But it is unity that will transform a world
00:14:37.326 --> 00:14:40.162
According to john chapter 17, verse 21.
00:14:40.162 --> 00:14:43.799
And although agreement influences decisions,
00:14:44.700 --> 00:14:48.003
It is unity that influences destinies.
00:14:48.837 --> 00:14:54.877
The spirit
00:14:55.177 --> 00:14:56.078
Didn't just change what they believed.
00:14:56.078 --> 00:14:59.114
Holy spirit changed
00:14:59.581 --> 00:15:00.916
How they belonged.
00:15:00.916 --> 00:15:04.620
And hear my heart as i pastors through this moment.
00:15:04.620 --> 00:15:08.290
Unity does not mean the absence of conflict.
00:15:08.290 --> 00:15:12.695
It means the presence of christ in conflict.
00:15:13.595 --> 00:15:20.936
Point number two is this.
00:15:21.503 --> 00:15:25.107
What rome tried to force by power
00:15:25.774 --> 00:15:29.378
The spirit created by love.
00:15:29.378 --> 00:15:32.881
Rome's empire demanded allegiance.
00:15:33.615 --> 00:15:39.455
Hear me.
00:15:39.688 --> 00:15:40.255
Look at me for a second.
00:15:40.255 --> 00:15:42.491
Rome's empire demanded allegiance.
00:15:42.491 --> 00:15:46.729
And if you was not allegiant
00:15:47.329 --> 00:15:49.698
And aligned with what they perceived
00:15:49.698 --> 00:15:52.901
To be the right way, you were condemned.
00:15:52.901 --> 00:15:56.171
You will ostracized.
00:15:56.638 --> 00:15:58.240
You were threatened.
00:15:58.240 --> 00:16:00.075
You were imprisoned.
00:16:00.075 --> 00:16:01.710
You were beaten because you did not agree
00:16:01.710 --> 00:16:05.981
With what they wanted you to agree with.
00:16:05.981 --> 00:16:09.585
And so what they tried to enforce by fear.
00:16:09.585 --> 00:16:13.489
The spirit of god birthed out of love and sacrifice.
00:16:13.489 --> 00:16:19.294
So power to legislate behavior,
00:16:19.928 --> 00:16:23.198
But only love can liberate your soul.
00:16:23.999 --> 00:16:29.405
Fear makes people comply.
00:16:29.972 --> 00:16:32.441
Love makes people commit.
00:16:32.441 --> 00:16:37.880
How many times have you heard this week?
00:16:38.747 --> 00:16:40.716
If you don't say this this way?
00:16:40.716 --> 00:16:42.551
If you don't do this this way.
00:16:42.551 --> 00:16:44.420
If you don't speak on this behalf,
00:16:44.420 --> 00:16:46.588
You don't have this perspective and say this,
00:16:46.588 --> 00:16:49.224
Then you are not hearing god, when in fact you are hearing god
00:16:49.224 --> 00:16:54.363
To keep your mouth shut until you actually hear from god.
00:16:54.363 --> 00:16:58.801
Don't be reactive.
00:16:59.234 --> 00:17:01.437
Be responsible.
00:17:01.437 --> 00:17:03.605
Have some human decency.
00:17:03.605 --> 00:17:05.574
Stop arguing with people you don't know over something.
00:17:05.574 --> 00:17:09.044
You cannot completely wrap your mind around.
00:17:09.044 --> 00:17:15.651
What rome tried to force by power
00:17:16.385 --> 00:17:18.220
The spirit created by love.
00:17:18.220 --> 00:17:21.657
Rome's empire controlled with the sword.
00:17:22.524 --> 00:17:26.228
But it is the kingdom of god that conquers with the cross.
00:17:26.228 --> 00:17:30.999
Unity built
00:17:31.333 --> 00:17:32.167
On force always crumbles.
00:17:32.167 --> 00:17:35.304
Unity birthed by the spirit cannot be broken.
00:17:35.304 --> 00:17:38.474
Point number three, as we move through the text.
00:17:39.475 --> 00:17:43.879
And this passage,
00:17:44.313 --> 00:17:45.080
It says those that believe
00:17:45.080 --> 00:17:48.217
Shared sacrifice gave
00:17:48.217 --> 00:17:52.321
The spirit, turned mine into ours
00:17:53.088 --> 00:17:57.693
And ours into his.
00:17:58.127 --> 00:18:02.297
It is not them versus us.
00:18:02.865 --> 00:18:06.702
Us versus them.
00:18:07.102 --> 00:18:10.305
It is just us together.
00:18:10.305 --> 00:18:14.209
Are you hearing me?
00:18:14.676 --> 00:18:16.645
Those that believe
00:18:16.645 --> 00:18:19.982
It is just us, the enemy.
00:18:20.549 --> 00:18:25.387
Once you divided.
00:18:25.387 --> 00:18:32.561
What is the antidote to violence?
00:18:33.295 --> 00:18:35.130
What is the antidote to selfless acts of crime and murder
00:18:35.130 --> 00:18:38.901
And assassination?
00:18:38.901 --> 00:18:39.968
The antidote.
00:18:39.968 --> 00:18:40.702
The answer is jesus.
00:18:40.702 --> 00:18:46.842
Murder.
00:18:47.075 --> 00:18:48.744
Unrest.
00:18:48.744 --> 00:18:50.412
Corruption all spring from greed
00:18:50.412 --> 00:18:53.682
And power struggles.
00:18:53.682 --> 00:18:56.919
Look at what the early church did.
00:18:57.686 --> 00:19:00.789
They operated in obedience
00:19:00.789 --> 00:19:03.525
And radical generosity to cut off sin at the root.
00:19:03.525 --> 00:19:09.131
They gave
00:19:09.431 --> 00:19:10.632
Beyond their will and their once,
00:19:10.632 --> 00:19:14.803
Because they were unified with the heart of the father.
00:19:14.803 --> 00:19:18.473
What did the father do when humanity was broken?
00:19:19.441 --> 00:19:22.778
He gave.
00:19:23.045 --> 00:19:25.781
What did humanity do in return?
00:19:25.781 --> 00:19:28.250
When god gave,
00:19:28.250 --> 00:19:30.452
They took.
00:19:30.452 --> 00:19:34.389
God knowing this because he knows everything
00:19:34.389 --> 00:19:37.459
Before we do, he still gave understanding.
00:19:38.327 --> 00:19:42.531
In order for them to be saved, they have to receive something
00:19:42.531 --> 00:19:46.568
That they could never pay for
00:19:46.568 --> 00:19:48.136
And never fully understand in this life.
00:19:48.136 --> 00:19:50.472
But i have to freely give it to them anyway,
00:19:50.472 --> 00:19:52.774
Because i am god, and beside me there is no one else.
00:19:52.774 --> 00:19:58.146
What do you do in the face of greed and hostility
00:19:58.146 --> 00:20:01.650
And violence and murder?
00:20:01.650 --> 00:20:03.418
Your heart has to be point back to the heart of god and say,
00:20:03.418 --> 00:20:06.989
You know what? i'm going to be generous with this love.
00:20:06.989 --> 00:20:09.391
I'm going to be generous with this grace.
00:20:09.391 --> 00:20:11.159
I'm going to be generous with mercy
00:20:11.159 --> 00:20:12.761
Because i serve a savior that was so generous to me.
00:20:12.761 --> 00:20:15.897
I have to be generous in return.
00:20:15.897 --> 00:20:22.704
Violence is
00:20:23.038 --> 00:20:23.905
Born with selfishness reigns,
00:20:23.905 --> 00:20:26.942
But peace is born with generosity flows.
00:20:26.942 --> 00:20:31.613
Greed fills murder.
00:20:32.080 --> 00:20:35.817
Grace.
00:20:36.018 --> 00:20:36.451
However
00:20:36.451 --> 00:20:38.053
It fills mercy.
00:20:38.053 --> 00:20:41.690
It fills
00:20:41.957 --> 00:20:43.959
Grace.
00:20:43.959 --> 00:20:47.162
The love of god.
00:20:47.562 --> 00:20:50.966
Every act of kindness
00:20:50.966 --> 00:20:52.334
In the face of hostility.
00:20:52.334 --> 00:20:56.371
Every sacrifice
00:20:56.738 --> 00:20:57.739
To unify the body instead of divide it.
00:20:57.739 --> 00:21:02.944
Is operating
00:21:03.278 --> 00:21:03.945
In the spirit of generosity.
00:21:03.945 --> 00:21:07.382
And the spirit of generosity.
00:21:07.382 --> 00:21:08.784
In today's day and age,
00:21:08.784 --> 00:21:11.653
It's rebellion against hell.
00:21:11.653 --> 00:21:15.157
And may we be a people that rebel
00:21:15.857 --> 00:21:18.327
Against the plan of satan.
00:21:18.327 --> 00:21:21.463
That says, you know what, god?
00:21:22.064 --> 00:21:23.265
I don't agree with everything. i don't understand everything.
00:21:23.265 --> 00:21:25.600
But i do want to see your body unify like never before.
00:21:25.600 --> 00:21:30.072
So instead of posting, i'm going to pray.
00:21:30.906 --> 00:21:35.410
Instead of
00:21:35.711 --> 00:21:36.378
Speaking, i'm going to pray
00:21:36.378 --> 00:21:39.147
Instead of reacting.
00:21:39.147 --> 00:21:40.148
I'm going to wait until i get your mind
00:21:40.148 --> 00:21:41.983
And i'm going to respond.
00:21:41.983 --> 00:21:43.185
Can we be children of god that believe god's word to be true?
00:21:43.185 --> 00:21:50.792
Point number four is this.
00:21:51.360 --> 00:21:54.830
The world is fractured
00:21:54.830 --> 00:21:57.966
By race and politics,
00:21:57.966 --> 00:22:01.403
But the church is fused
00:22:01.937 --> 00:22:05.273
By the spirit of god.
00:22:05.273 --> 00:22:09.311
Political parties may divide the land,
00:22:10.112 --> 00:22:13.315
But the spirit of god unites
00:22:13.915 --> 00:22:15.817
The kingdom.
00:22:15.817 --> 00:22:19.121
When we make the gospel
00:22:19.121 --> 00:22:20.455
Smaller than our race or politics,
00:22:20.455 --> 00:22:23.592
We lose the power of the cross.
00:22:23.592 --> 00:22:30.031
So may it be said about us
00:22:30.599 --> 00:22:33.969
That in the face of adversity
00:22:33.969 --> 00:22:37.205
We clung to the word of god
00:22:37.205 --> 00:22:40.509
And the face of opposition?
00:22:41.109 --> 00:22:43.812
We held the heart of god near and dear to our hearts.
00:22:43.812 --> 00:22:47.115
May it be said about us that we did not speak our mind,
00:22:47.115 --> 00:22:51.186
But we spoke the mind of christ, and we brought unity
00:22:51.186 --> 00:22:55.157
To the body of christ, and not disagreements.
00:22:55.157 --> 00:23:06.201
So we're going to do a couple of things before we close.
00:23:07.335 --> 00:23:10.772
We're going to pray for those families.
00:23:11.640 --> 00:23:13.041
As i mentioned.
00:23:13.041 --> 00:23:16.578
I want you to look around this room for a moment.
00:23:16.578 --> 00:23:23.151
Look around you.
00:23:23.552 --> 00:23:24.186
Can all these faces
00:23:24.186 --> 00:23:26.555
Look at all these different flavors
00:23:26.555 --> 00:23:28.123
Represented?
00:23:28.123 --> 00:23:35.764
And i guarantee you, if i were to pass this
00:23:36.631 --> 00:23:38.567
Microphone around this room, that would be
00:23:38.567 --> 00:23:41.603
Varying opinions.
00:23:42.037 --> 00:23:46.007
What i'm asking us to do.
00:23:46.575 --> 00:23:49.945
Is lay our opinions down.
00:23:49.945 --> 00:23:53.215
Pick up the word of god.
00:23:53.215 --> 00:23:56.751
Honor the word of god.
00:23:57.219 --> 00:24:00.255
Honor each other.
00:24:00.255 --> 00:24:03.225
Be agents of unity
00:24:03.225 --> 00:24:05.527
And not agents of division.
00:24:05.527 --> 00:24:08.897
And i have to tell you this.
00:24:09.498 --> 00:24:10.332
As a church, i'm so proud of you all.
00:24:10.332 --> 00:24:11.833
Like man.
00:24:11.833 --> 00:24:13.368
Like i'm very proud of you all.
00:24:13.368 --> 00:24:17.205
And a crazy world.
00:24:17.639 --> 00:24:18.840
You all have remained true to what christ has asked of you
00:24:18.840 --> 00:24:22.477
To do. i'm proud of you.
00:24:22.477 --> 00:24:28.917
And i know some of you were close this week.
00:24:29.818 --> 00:24:31.820
You were close to posting something
00:24:31.820 --> 00:24:35.223
And you thought,
00:24:35.223 --> 00:24:37.292
What would that crazy boy say?
00:24:37.292 --> 00:24:40.729
And i'm telling you right now, don't post it.
00:24:40.729 --> 00:24:43.098
Pray.
00:24:43.098 --> 00:24:44.332
Seek the heart of the father.
00:24:44.332 --> 00:24:46.301
Only post what he tells you to post after prayer.
00:24:46.301 --> 00:24:50.105
Make sure it's unifying and not tearing
00:24:50.105 --> 00:24:53.208
Apart the body of christ.
00:24:53.208 --> 00:24:56.645
Maybe his mind, not your mind.
00:24:56.645 --> 00:24:58.213
His way, not your way.
00:24:58.213 --> 00:24:59.180
His wants, not your wants.
00:24:59.180 --> 00:25:01.449
Amen.
00:25:01.449 --> 00:25:04.219
I pray that there was some things said today
00:25:04.219 --> 00:25:07.556
Taught, spoken
00:25:07.556 --> 00:25:09.424
That were highlighted in your life,
00:25:09.424 --> 00:25:12.527
And maybe there's some areas that were not aligned with god's
00:25:12.527 --> 00:25:16.798
Will and plan for your life that you need to realign.
00:25:16.798 --> 00:25:20.035
And right now, i want to make sure
00:25:20.035 --> 00:25:21.303
Before this broadcast ends
00:25:21.303 --> 00:25:23.138
That everyone that desires to be saved, or to have your life
00:25:23.138 --> 00:25:27.442
Rededicated back into the fold of jesus christ can do so.
00:25:27.442 --> 00:25:31.980
And so i want you to repeat this prayer to me.
00:25:31.980 --> 00:25:33.748
Lord jesus, come into my heart.
00:25:33.748 --> 00:25:36.484
Forgive me for my sins.
00:25:37.018 --> 00:25:39.287
I repent and turn right now
00:25:39.287 --> 00:25:42.090
From everything that is contrary to what you desire for me.
00:25:42.090 --> 00:25:46.061
I believe that you are my lord, my master and my savior.
00:25:46.061 --> 00:25:50.365
So i confess with my mouth and i believe it with my heart.
00:25:50.365 --> 00:25:53.969
In jesus name i pray. amen.
00:25:53.969 --> 00:25:57.072
Well, family, if you prayed that prayer,
00:25:57.072 --> 00:25:58.506
Maybe it was the first time, or maybe it was the 15th time.
00:25:58.506 --> 00:26:02.110
No matter which time it is for you, we want to know about it.
00:26:02.110 --> 00:26:05.213
We want to walk alongside of you
00:26:05.213 --> 00:26:06.581
In this journey as you pursue jesus christ,
00:26:06.581 --> 00:26:09.250
As you have become not just a follower,
00:26:09.250 --> 00:26:11.419

00:26:11.419 --> 00:26:14.556
