  • 00:00:08.324 --> 00:00:17.567
  • Hey, family and friends is pastor
  • 00:00:17.567 --> 00:00:19.069
  • Tim timberlake of celebration church,
  • 00:00:19.069 --> 00:00:20.737
  • And i'm excited about the word of god for today.
  • 00:00:20.737 --> 00:00:24.040
  • I want us to get right to it.
  • 00:00:24.040 --> 00:00:25.375
  • It's we don't want to waste time
  • 00:00:25.375 --> 00:00:27.410
  • For a message that god
  • 00:00:27.410 --> 00:00:28.411
  • Placed on my heart, entitled when memory dies.
  • 00:00:28.411 --> 00:00:32.115
  • Let's open up the word of god and grow
  • 00:00:32.115 --> 00:00:33.516
  • Together as we go through the acts of the apostles.
  • 00:00:33.516 --> 00:00:36.019
  • I'll be back very shortly.
  • 00:00:36.019 --> 00:00:37.720
  • See you then.
  • 00:00:37.720 --> 00:00:40.557
  • That's what stephen is teaching the sanhedrin council.
  • 00:00:40.557 --> 00:00:42.892
  • When your memory dies, you begin to prioritize things.
  • 00:00:42.892 --> 00:00:46.096
  • God never intended for you to prioritize.
  • 00:00:46.096 --> 00:00:49.165
  • When our memories die, we.
  • 00:00:49.732 --> 00:00:51.501
  • We erect idols and little gods to take the place of the true
  • 00:00:51.501 --> 00:00:55.338
  • And living savior.
  • 00:00:55.338 --> 00:00:56.406
  • When our memory dies, we operate more in comfort
  • 00:00:56.406 --> 00:00:58.575
  • And convenience than we do more in conviction.
  • 00:00:58.575 --> 00:01:00.410
  • Because our relationship
  • 00:01:00.410 --> 00:01:01.311
  • With jesus turns into what he can do for us
  • 00:01:01.311 --> 00:01:03.580
  • Instead of what we've been created for.
  • 00:01:03.580 --> 00:01:07.383
  • What we must
  • 00:01:07.717 --> 00:01:08.551
  • Understand is that god is not confined
  • 00:01:08.551 --> 00:01:11.387
  • To sacred spaces and places.
  • 00:01:11.387 --> 00:01:15.225
  • Because you carry the presence of god.
  • 00:01:15.225 --> 00:01:18.628
  • And so god just moved there.
  • 00:01:19.229 --> 00:01:20.763
  • God desires to move in you,
  • 00:01:20.763 --> 00:01:23.266
  • But god will move in you when your life is so cluttered
  • 00:01:23.266 --> 00:01:25.835
  • With you that he doesn't have room to move.
  • 00:01:25.835 --> 00:01:30.974
  • It's okay.
  • 00:01:31.274 --> 00:01:34.077
  • Trust me, it will get much worse before
  • 00:01:34.077 --> 00:01:35.712
  • Sunday's over.
  • 00:01:35.712 --> 00:01:40.016
  • The closer god gets to fulfilling his promise.
  • 00:01:40.917 --> 00:01:44.053
  • The louder fierce screams
  • 00:01:44.621 --> 00:01:47.190
  • From threatened power.
  • 00:01:47.190 --> 00:01:50.059
  • The reason your life may seem so loud right now
  • 00:01:50.059 --> 00:01:53.530
  • Is because you're actually growing or.
  • 00:01:54.364 --> 00:01:57.800
  • You're maturing.
  • 00:01:58.201 --> 00:02:00.270
  • You're becoming more like christ.
  • 00:02:00.270 --> 00:02:02.872
  • And the enemy hates that.
  • 00:02:02.872 --> 00:02:05.375
  • He does not hate you coming to church.
  • 00:02:05.375 --> 00:02:07.010
  • He hates you. applying the things you learned in church.
  • 00:02:07.010 --> 00:02:11.781
  • He does not hate that
  • 00:02:12.282 --> 00:02:13.283
  • You actually are lifting your hands in worship.
  • 00:02:13.283 --> 00:02:16.219
  • He hates that you actually get
  • 00:02:16.219 --> 00:02:17.520
  • A revelation of what worship actually is.
  • 00:02:17.520 --> 00:02:22.625
  • And so what the enemy desires to do
  • 00:02:23.393 --> 00:02:25.061
  • Is to keep you so distracted with your current reality
  • 00:02:25.061 --> 00:02:28.431
  • That you don't see what god said.
  • 00:02:28.431 --> 00:02:30.867
  • And if you don't see what god said,
  • 00:02:30.867 --> 00:02:32.902
  • Then you're so bothered by what you see that you forget
  • 00:02:32.902 --> 00:02:35.672
  • To apply the word of god to change what you see
  • 00:02:35.672 --> 00:02:38.107
  • And be transformed and renewed from the inside out.
  • 00:02:38.107 --> 00:02:41.511
  • Stephen is reminding the sanhedrin council
  • 00:02:42.412 --> 00:02:44.480
  • You're blinded by what you see.
  • 00:02:44.480 --> 00:02:48.117
  • You're blinded by your current reality
  • 00:02:48.117 --> 00:02:51.120
  • And the god you say that you believe in.
  • 00:02:51.120 --> 00:02:54.557
  • You're actually putting on trial because you can't even see
  • 00:02:55.692 --> 00:02:58.261
  • How he's at work through me.
  • 00:02:58.261 --> 00:03:02.699
  • He's not giving
  • 00:03:03.066 --> 00:03:03.733
  • A history lesson in this text.
  • 00:03:03.733 --> 00:03:06.869
  • He's putting israel on trial.
  • 00:03:07.503 --> 00:03:10.707
  • He's reminding them
  • 00:03:11.174 --> 00:03:13.509
  • That a people who forget the deliverer
  • 00:03:13.509 --> 00:03:16.980
  • Will eventually become enslaved
  • 00:03:16.980 --> 00:03:18.781
  • To other things.
  • 00:03:18.781 --> 00:03:23.152
  • To move
  • 00:03:23.386 --> 00:03:24.187
  • Through the text, verse by verse,
  • 00:03:24.187 --> 00:03:27.123
  • I want us to look at point number one.
  • 00:03:27.123 --> 00:03:31.561
  • Point number one.
  • 00:03:31.995 --> 00:03:37.000
  • Faith refuses to die
  • 00:03:37.433 --> 00:03:40.770
  • Where it doesn't belong.
  • 00:03:41.271 --> 00:03:44.073
  • Verse number 16.
  • 00:03:44.073 --> 00:03:46.743
  • They took their bones back to the promised land.
  • 00:03:46.743 --> 00:03:50.179
  • The patriarchs chose burial as prophecy
  • 00:03:50.980 --> 00:03:54.484
  • And said, what, pastor?
  • 00:03:55.018 --> 00:03:55.785
  • What is the prophecy?
  • 00:03:55.785 --> 00:03:57.887
  • The prophecy is very simple.
  • 00:03:57.887 --> 00:03:59.155
  • According to the text, they died in egypt,
  • 00:03:59.155 --> 00:04:01.157
  • But they refused to be claimed by it.
  • 00:04:01.157 --> 00:04:04.527
  • And some of us are so focused
  • 00:04:04.527 --> 00:04:07.397
  • On being claimed by the world
  • 00:04:07.397 --> 00:04:10.533
  • That we would prefer to die and stay here,
  • 00:04:10.533 --> 00:04:13.736
  • Than to continue to move towards
  • 00:04:14.370 --> 00:04:16.673
  • A future and a destiny in eternity with jesus.
  • 00:04:16.673 --> 00:04:20.043
  • We're so focused on worldly clout
  • 00:04:20.810 --> 00:04:24.013
  • And worldly influence
  • 00:04:24.514 --> 00:04:27.517
  • And worldly possessions
  • 00:04:27.517 --> 00:04:30.153
  • That we've missed the moment
  • 00:04:30.153 --> 00:04:33.756
  • To make the earth our footstool,
  • 00:04:33.756 --> 00:04:37.827
  • To get to where god is calling us to be.
  • 00:04:38.661 --> 00:04:42.198
  • And if this text teaches us nothing
  • 00:04:42.198 --> 00:04:44.801
  • But this truth right here, i pray
  • 00:04:44.801 --> 00:04:48.738
  • You see and become hyper aware that
  • 00:04:48.738 --> 00:04:51.674
  • This is not your home
  • 00:04:51.674 --> 00:04:54.977
  • And your bones should not stay in egypt.
  • 00:04:54.977 --> 00:04:58.981
  • You may die in egypt, but you're not going to stay in egypt.
  • 00:04:58.981 --> 00:05:03.119
  • You may find a temporary dwelling place here,
  • 00:05:03.119 --> 00:05:05.988
  • But this is not where you're going to make your eternal home.
  • 00:05:05.988 --> 00:05:08.991
  • You have to continue
  • 00:05:08.991 --> 00:05:10.226
  • To move towards the things god has called you to move towards,
  • 00:05:10.226 --> 00:05:14.097
  • Because this is not the finality of your life,
  • 00:05:14.097 --> 00:05:18.368
  • But what happens when memory dies?
  • 00:05:19.135 --> 00:05:22.505
  • We make little gods
  • 00:05:22.972 --> 00:05:24.207
  • Out of these things.
  • 00:05:24.207 --> 00:05:27.543
  • We make minor things,
  • 00:05:27.543 --> 00:05:29.512
  • Major and major things, minor.
  • 00:05:29.512 --> 00:05:33.216
  • When memory dies,
  • 00:05:33.649 --> 00:05:35.184
  • We think jesus is an option.
  • 00:05:35.184 --> 00:05:39.622
  • Memory dies.
  • 00:05:39.956 --> 00:05:41.691
  • We base what we do of how we feel.
  • 00:05:41.691 --> 00:05:45.728
  • When memory dies.
  • 00:05:46.162 --> 00:05:48.164
  • We're not dedicated to our relationship
  • 00:05:48.164 --> 00:05:50.333
  • With jesus christ for what he desires for us and from us.
  • 00:05:50.333 --> 00:05:54.036
  • We're dedicated to him for what we can get from him.
  • 00:05:54.036 --> 00:05:59.675
  • Point number two.
  • 00:06:00.109 --> 00:06:03.646
  • When the promise gets close,
  • 00:06:04.213 --> 00:06:06.682
  • Pressure gets loud.
  • 00:06:06.682 --> 00:06:09.886
  • Verse 17 says, the promise drew near.
  • 00:06:09.886 --> 00:06:13.256
  • Look at what happened.
  • 00:06:13.756 --> 00:06:14.557
  • Growth didn't bring relief.
  • 00:06:14.557 --> 00:06:16.659
  • It attracted resistance.
  • 00:06:16.659 --> 00:06:18.628
  • And any time you grow in your life,
  • 00:06:18.628 --> 00:06:20.663
  • Any time you're changing, anytime
  • 00:06:20.663 --> 00:06:22.331
  • You're maturing, it brings resistance.
  • 00:06:22.331 --> 00:06:24.867
  • Any time you desire to do things the right way, the enemy
  • 00:06:24.867 --> 00:06:28.171
  • Always brings temptation to get you distracted,
  • 00:06:28.171 --> 00:06:30.706
  • To do what he desires for you, to do.
  • 00:06:30.706 --> 00:06:32.675
  • You cannot fall prey to the tricks of the enemy anymore.
  • 00:06:32.675 --> 00:06:36.612
  • You know what his plan is.
  • 00:06:36.612 --> 00:06:38.247
  • His plan is to kill, steal, and destroy.
  • 00:06:38.247 --> 00:06:41.384
  • And here we are, still being entertained
  • 00:06:41.384 --> 00:06:43.319
  • By the carrot he's dangling in front of us,
  • 00:06:43.319 --> 00:06:45.388
  • Knowing what his plan is for our lives.
  • 00:06:45.388 --> 00:06:48.491
  • Don't get distracted by pressure.
  • 00:06:49.258 --> 00:06:52.161
  • Pressure is proof that you are getting close to the promise.
  • 00:06:52.161 --> 00:06:56.566
  • God has given you.
  • 00:06:56.566 --> 00:06:59.302
  • God's promise was advancing silently,
  • 00:06:59.302 --> 00:07:02.472
  • But fear was getting organized and running rampant.
  • 00:07:02.472 --> 00:07:06.075
  • Pressure is often proof that the promise is maturing
  • 00:07:07.109 --> 00:07:11.047
  • Right before your very eyes.
  • 00:07:11.047 --> 00:07:15.051
  • So oppression is not the absence of god.
  • 00:07:15.852 --> 00:07:19.722
  • It's often the evidence of his proximity.
  • 00:07:19.722 --> 00:07:22.992
  • How do i know this?
  • 00:07:23.459 --> 00:07:24.961
  • Because he'll never panics until heaven starts moving.
  • 00:07:24.961 --> 00:07:31.400
  • And so the people around you
  • 00:07:32.001 --> 00:07:33.202
  • Start acting different and start acting funny.
  • 00:07:33.202 --> 00:07:35.505
  • You have to understand that heaven must be moving
  • 00:07:35.505 --> 00:07:37.840
  • In your direction, because hell never panics
  • 00:07:37.840 --> 00:07:40.476
  • Until god starts moving.
  • 00:07:40.476 --> 00:07:42.011
  • When you think that your relationships
  • 00:07:42.011 --> 00:07:43.646
  • Are going to be firm
  • 00:07:43.646 --> 00:07:44.580
  • And they start getting rocky and shaking,
  • 00:07:44.580 --> 00:07:46.582
  • It must mean that god is doing something significant
  • 00:07:46.582 --> 00:07:49.418
  • In your life because hell doesn't start
  • 00:07:49.418 --> 00:07:51.587
  • Panicking until god starts moving.
  • 00:07:51.587 --> 00:07:53.890
  • When things seem like they're falling apart
  • 00:07:53.890 --> 00:07:55.758
  • That you thought will be stable,
  • 00:07:55.758 --> 00:07:57.293
  • It must mean god is actually doing something
  • 00:07:57.293 --> 00:07:59.595
  • Significant in your life,
  • 00:07:59.595 --> 00:08:01.030
  • Because hell does not panic until god starts moving.
  • 00:08:01.030 --> 00:08:07.470
  • Why is this important for us to understand?
  • 00:08:08.371 --> 00:08:10.273
  • Because what god grows fear tries to control.
  • 00:08:10.273 --> 00:08:15.678
  • We see this in the text according to verse number 17,
  • 00:08:16.746 --> 00:08:19.882
  • The promise did not provoke praise.
  • 00:08:19.882 --> 00:08:23.319
  • The promise provoked pharaoh.
  • 00:08:23.953 --> 00:08:27.623
  • What does that mean for us?
  • 00:08:28.224 --> 00:08:30.626
  • As you grow and as you mature,
  • 00:08:30.626 --> 00:08:34.430
  • It will provoke the enemy in your life
  • 00:08:34.430 --> 00:08:37.900
  • To try to get you off focus
  • 00:08:37.900 --> 00:08:41.270
  • From what god is actually doing.
  • 00:08:41.270 --> 00:08:46.142
  • Pressure doesn't mean
  • 00:08:46.642 --> 00:08:49.045
  • That you're behind.
  • 00:08:49.045 --> 00:08:49.979
  • Pressure means you're actually on time.
  • 00:08:49.979 --> 00:08:53.983
  • It says in verse 17,
  • 00:08:54.450 --> 00:08:56.519
  • The promise gets closer
  • 00:08:56.519 --> 00:08:59.422
  • And pressure starts increasing
  • 00:08:59.422 --> 00:09:02.825
  • As god's promises approaches.
  • 00:09:03.459 --> 00:09:06.228
  • Conditions get worse, not better.
  • 00:09:06.228 --> 00:09:09.398
  • Look at me for a second.
  • 00:09:09.932 --> 00:09:13.402
  • As the promise of god gets closer,
  • 00:09:13.402 --> 00:09:16.872
  • Pressure starts increasing.
  • 00:09:16.872 --> 00:09:20.042
  • Do you think
  • 00:09:20.042 --> 00:09:22.011
  • That god has forgotten about his people?
  • 00:09:22.011 --> 00:09:27.350
  • He's drawing closer to his people.
  • 00:09:28.117 --> 00:09:30.686
  • How do we know this?
  • 00:09:30.686 --> 00:09:32.421
  • Because pressure is popping up
  • 00:09:32.421 --> 00:09:34.890
  • All around us.
  • 00:09:34.890 --> 00:09:41.497
  • Where is it happening?
  • 00:09:41.964 --> 00:09:42.999
  • It's not just happening overseas.
  • 00:09:42.999 --> 00:09:44.834
  • It's happening right here.
  • 00:09:44.834 --> 00:09:49.505
  • America is turning on itself.
  • 00:09:50.139 --> 00:09:53.209
  • Listen to me.
  • 00:09:53.209 --> 00:09:56.045
  • This is not a game.
  • 00:09:56.045 --> 00:10:00.182
  • We're asking ourselves,
  • 00:10:00.683 --> 00:10:01.751
  • What countries are we going to war with?
  • 00:10:01.751 --> 00:10:04.487
  • We are going to war with our own selves.
  • 00:10:04.487 --> 00:10:10.760
  • And we're sitting here
  • 00:10:11.227 --> 00:10:13.863
  • And we're playing church.
  • 00:10:13.863 --> 00:10:17.533
  • And the enemy is running rampant around us.
  • 00:10:18.434 --> 00:10:21.570
  • Do you know why?
  • 00:10:21.570 --> 00:10:23.139
  • Because our memory has died
  • 00:10:23.139 --> 00:10:25.574
  • Of the faithfulness of god.
  • 00:10:25.574 --> 00:10:28.511
  • And we have moved away from what the word of god says.
  • 00:10:28.511 --> 00:10:32.515
  • And we have adopted a theology that suits our agenda
  • 00:10:32.515 --> 00:10:37.553
  • Instead of what the bible actually says.
  • 00:10:37.553 --> 00:10:41.824
  • Again and again.
  • 00:10:42.224 --> 00:10:44.126
  • And jesus says throughout scripture.
  • 00:10:44.126 --> 00:10:46.362
  • Faithless generation, how long will you be
  • 00:10:46.362 --> 00:10:50.099
  • With me?
  • 00:10:50.099 --> 00:10:53.536
  • Point number three,
  • 00:10:54.003 --> 00:10:54.704
  • As we move through the text.
  • 00:10:54.704 --> 00:11:00.009
  • Fruitfulness is dangerous
  • 00:11:00.576 --> 00:11:01.977
  • To any power that survives on fear.
  • 00:11:01.977 --> 00:11:06.549
  • Verse 17
  • 00:11:06.782 --> 00:11:07.650
  • Says they increased and multiplied.
  • 00:11:07.650 --> 00:11:10.920
  • Israel didn't push back.
  • 00:11:11.420 --> 00:11:12.822
  • They didn't campaign.
  • 00:11:12.822 --> 00:11:14.023
  • They simply multiplied.
  • 00:11:14.023 --> 00:11:15.191
  • They grew.
  • 00:11:15.191 --> 00:11:18.461
  • And if you're going to be a threat to the enemy,
  • 00:11:18.461 --> 00:11:21.764
  • You have to continue to grow.
  • 00:11:21.764 --> 00:11:24.967
  • You have to continue to multiply.
  • 00:11:25.701 --> 00:11:29.805
  • You have to continue to stay in your word
  • 00:11:30.673 --> 00:11:32.875
  • So that you can know what the word of god says.
  • 00:11:32.875 --> 00:11:36.011
  • You don't have to be loud to be threatening.
  • 00:11:36.912 --> 00:11:39.215
  • You just have to be growing and maturing.
  • 00:11:39.215 --> 00:11:43.152
  • Because what god blesses quietly,
  • 00:11:43.886 --> 00:11:46.522
  • It terrifies systems loudly.
  • 00:11:46.522 --> 00:11:50.559
  • This is what multiplication and fruitfulness did in the text.
  • 00:11:51.761 --> 00:11:54.797
  • It exposed the insecurity of leadership.
  • 00:11:54.797 --> 00:11:59.001
  • You can
  • 00:11:59.235 --> 00:12:00.069
  • Always tell who's insecure in your life
  • 00:12:00.069 --> 00:12:02.638
  • By how they respond and react to you
  • 00:12:02.638 --> 00:12:04.740
  • Growing and being transformed by the word of god.
  • 00:12:04.740 --> 00:12:12.515
  • And so what the enemy tries to do
  • 00:12:13.282 --> 00:12:15.151
  • When growth cannot be stopped, he tries to suppress it.
  • 00:12:15.151 --> 00:12:19.421
  • Okay?
  • 00:12:19.655 --> 00:12:20.489
  • The enemy does not fear rebellion.
  • 00:12:20.489 --> 00:12:22.158
  • The enemy fears reproduction.
  • 00:12:22.158 --> 00:12:26.395
  • And that's why it's so important
  • 00:12:27.029 --> 00:12:28.564
  • That you bear witness with the word of god,
  • 00:12:28.564 --> 00:12:30.966
  • And you share what you have learned
  • 00:12:30.966 --> 00:12:32.668
  • So that other people can come into the knowledge of the truth
  • 00:12:32.668 --> 00:12:35.805
  • Of jesus christ.
  • 00:12:35.805 --> 00:12:39.208
  • One of the saddest realities
  • 00:12:39.775 --> 00:12:41.343
  • Of the christian walk in the christian faith
  • 00:12:41.343 --> 00:12:44.580
  • Is to see other people who say they believe.
  • 00:12:44.580 --> 00:12:46.782
  • They silence in the face of injustice.
  • 00:12:46.782 --> 00:12:55.024
  • And when memory does, we lean more into comfort
  • 00:12:56.025 --> 00:12:59.762
  • Than we do godly conviction.
  • 00:13:00.362 --> 00:13:03.866
  • And we put into power
  • 00:13:03.866 --> 00:13:07.002
  • Our flesh,
  • 00:13:07.002 --> 00:13:09.138
  • Our desires, our will and our way,
  • 00:13:09.138 --> 00:13:14.043
  • Because we've forgotten what god has done
  • 00:13:14.043 --> 00:13:17.112
  • For us.
  • 00:13:17.112 --> 00:13:20.249
  • In verse number 18,
  • 00:13:20.249 --> 00:13:23.519
  • It says something so powerful
  • 00:13:23.519 --> 00:13:26.856
  • That i want us to pay close attention
  • 00:13:26.856 --> 00:13:29.024
  • To specifically in the season that we
  • 00:13:29.024 --> 00:13:32.461
  • New king,
  • 00:13:32.761 --> 00:13:34.697
  • With no memory,
  • 00:13:34.697 --> 00:13:37.132
  • Was put into power.
  • 00:13:37.132 --> 00:13:41.804
  • This isn't ignorance.
  • 00:13:42.304 --> 00:13:45.007
  • This is intentional amnesia.
  • 00:13:45.007 --> 00:13:48.711
  • The person who once saved egypt
  • 00:13:49.345 --> 00:13:52.615
  • Has now been forgotten.
  • 00:13:53.115 --> 00:13:56.619
  • The person
  • 00:13:56.919 --> 00:13:57.586
  • Who once provided for egypt
  • 00:13:57.586 --> 00:14:00.823
  • Has now been forgotten.
  • 00:14:00.823 --> 00:14:03.792
  • The person who once was so pivotal
  • 00:14:03.792 --> 00:14:07.997
  • In bringing a generation closer to god has now been forgotten.
  • 00:14:07.997 --> 00:14:12.368
  • And what stephen is teaching the sanhedrin
  • 00:14:12.368 --> 00:14:14.236
  • Council is the savior you say you believe in.
  • 00:14:14.236 --> 00:14:17.806
  • You are intentionally forgetting because he did not come
  • 00:14:17.806 --> 00:14:21.076
  • The way you envision him coming.
  • 00:14:21.076 --> 00:14:24.179
  • And this is what happens.
  • 00:14:24.747 --> 00:14:28.017
  • Deliverers are celebrated
  • 00:14:28.017 --> 00:14:29.818
  • In one generation and then erased in the next.
  • 00:14:29.818 --> 00:14:33.756
  • When our memories fade.
  • 00:14:33.756 --> 00:14:40.462
  • Point number four.
  • 00:14:40.896 --> 00:14:45.134
  • Here's the danger.
  • 00:14:45.567 --> 00:14:47.937
  • Forgetting the deliverer creates
  • 00:14:47.937 --> 00:14:50.806
  • New oppressors.
  • 00:14:50.806 --> 00:14:56.712
  • Look at me.
  • 00:14:57.046 --> 00:15:00.449
  • If you forget what jesus has done,
  • 00:15:00.449 --> 00:15:06.488
  • You put in place in your life
  • 00:15:07.122 --> 00:15:10.793
  • A new pharaoh.
  • 00:15:11.126 --> 00:15:16.632
  • While other religions
  • 00:15:17.132 --> 00:15:20.569
  • Are equipping.
  • 00:15:20.903 --> 00:15:23.238
  • Empowering, growing.
  • 00:15:23.238 --> 00:15:26.475
  • We're sitting here playing church.
  • 00:15:26.475 --> 00:15:30.379
  • You don't hear people debating and other religions
  • 00:15:31.380 --> 00:15:34.183
  • If they're going to their mosque today.
  • 00:15:34.183 --> 00:15:37.786
  • You don't hear other people
  • 00:15:38.387 --> 00:15:39.855
  • In other radical religions saying, who's teaching today?
  • 00:15:39.855 --> 00:15:45.260
  • I'll decide if i go to mosque over who's teaching today.
  • 00:15:45.260 --> 00:15:49.832
  • You don't hear them begging to pray.
  • 00:15:49.832 --> 00:15:52.334
  • They pray five times a day.
  • 00:15:52.334 --> 00:15:54.837
  • They are dedicated and disciplined to the god
  • 00:15:54.837 --> 00:15:57.272
  • They say they believe in.
  • 00:15:57.272 --> 00:15:58.807
  • They're not sitting here arguing, going or over
  • 00:15:58.807 --> 00:16:01.377
  • When people ask them to give, to push their agenda
  • 00:16:01.377 --> 00:16:04.146
  • Because they believe in one god and one false god only.
  • 00:16:04.146 --> 00:16:08.150
  • They don't follow the false god of money.
  • 00:16:08.150 --> 00:16:10.252
  • They support the false god.
  • 00:16:10.252 --> 00:16:11.687
  • They say they believe in so that their their,
  • 00:16:11.687 --> 00:16:13.922
  • Their kingdom can be advance in the earth.
  • 00:16:13.922 --> 00:16:16.325
  • And we're sitting here playing games
  • 00:16:16.325 --> 00:16:18.127
  • Because we've forgotten who jesus actually is.
  • 00:16:18.127 --> 00:16:21.497
  • And when you forget who jesus actually is,
  • 00:16:21.497 --> 00:16:23.832
  • You open up the door for egypt to come into your own home.
  • 00:16:23.832 --> 00:16:30.539
  • We're sitting here playing games,
  • 00:16:31.306 --> 00:16:32.775
  • And they're sitting on cable television telling you
  • 00:16:32.775 --> 00:16:35.177
  • What their agenda is.
  • 00:16:35.177 --> 00:16:36.545
  • We intend to bring what we believe to america,
  • 00:16:36.545 --> 00:16:40.082
  • And it will be the dominant religion of america.
  • 00:16:41.083 --> 00:16:44.653
  • And if you don't believe what we believe, we will kidnap
  • 00:16:44.653 --> 00:16:47.790
  • You and hold you hostage until you believe.
  • 00:16:47.790 --> 00:16:50.259
  • And we sit here playing hopscotch with jesus.
  • 00:16:50.259 --> 00:16:54.663
  • We want to be entertained because we've forgotten.
  • 00:16:55.697 --> 00:16:58.734
  • We pick and choose what we do and how we do it, based
  • 00:16:58.734 --> 00:17:01.637
  • Upon how it makes us feel.
  • 00:17:01.637 --> 00:17:03.172
  • Instead of feeding a spirit man and being resource with weapons
  • 00:17:03.172 --> 00:17:07.142
  • Of spiritual mass destruction
  • 00:17:07.142 --> 00:17:09.311
  • To push back on the veil of the enemy,
  • 00:17:09.311 --> 00:17:11.380
  • And we don't do it because we we enjoy our flesh
  • 00:17:11.380 --> 00:17:14.750
  • So much.
  • 00:17:14.750 --> 00:17:18.921
  • We open the door for egypt
  • 00:17:19.488 --> 00:17:21.256
  • And we invite pharaoh into our home,
  • 00:17:21.256 --> 00:17:22.858
  • And we say, it's not that bad. we need to be accepting to all
  • 00:17:22.858 --> 00:17:30.165
  • And jesus hung out with sinners.
  • 00:17:30.799 --> 00:17:32.334
  • That's what we say.
  • 00:17:32.334 --> 00:17:35.571
  • And that is a lie.
  • 00:17:35.571 --> 00:17:37.906
  • Jesus didn't hang out with sinners.
  • 00:17:37.906 --> 00:17:39.908
  • Sinners hung out with jesus.
  • 00:17:39.908 --> 00:17:47.082
  • Because even a sinner that comes
  • 00:17:47.716 --> 00:17:49.818
  • In the proximity of the king of kings
  • 00:17:49.818 --> 00:17:51.887
  • And the lord of lords knows what truth looks like.
  • 00:17:51.887 --> 00:17:55.424
  • And we're so blinded by what we want that we can't see it.
  • 00:17:55.424 --> 00:17:59.394
  • Because we make excuses for our flesh and our sin.
  • 00:17:59.394 --> 00:18:04.633
  • Yeah, if you forget the deliverer,
  • 00:18:05.400 --> 00:18:07.669
  • You create a new oppressor.
  • 00:18:07.669 --> 00:18:11.106
  • Joseph saved egypt,
  • 00:18:11.573 --> 00:18:14.309
  • But gratitude expired when power shifted.
  • 00:18:14.309 --> 00:18:18.547
  • And when leaders forget god's deliverer,
  • 00:18:19.381 --> 00:18:22.784
  • They repeat the sins they were delivered from.
  • 00:18:22.784 --> 00:18:26.655
  • And every, every generation.
  • 00:18:27.256 --> 00:18:28.824
  • Hear me that forgets.
  • 00:18:28.824 --> 00:18:30.592
  • Joseph eventually creates a pharaoh.
  • 00:18:30.592 --> 00:18:36.932
  • And when gratitude dies.
  • 00:18:37.466 --> 00:18:40.669
  • When thankfulness dies.
  • 00:18:40.669 --> 00:18:44.473
  • When the spirit of joy dies,
  • 00:18:45.073 --> 00:18:47.776
  • Fear takes the throne.
  • 00:18:47.776 --> 00:18:50.846
  • And you're led and driven by fear.
  • 00:18:51.613 --> 00:18:55.584
  • When you're led and driven by fear.
  • 00:18:56.351 --> 00:18:58.387
  • You forget god's faithfulness.
  • 00:18:58.387 --> 00:19:00.856
  • You forget the work that he's done.
  • 00:19:00.856 --> 00:19:03.225
  • And forgetting god's work always precedes
  • 00:19:03.225 --> 00:19:06.228
  • To resisting god's move.
  • 00:19:06.228 --> 00:19:09.798
  • And that's why we're so moved by flesh
  • 00:19:09.798 --> 00:19:12.668
  • And move by what we want, and move by lust,
  • 00:19:12.668 --> 00:19:16.004
  • And move by possessions and move by pleasure.
  • 00:19:16.004 --> 00:19:19.241
  • Because we don't actually know who jesus is.
  • 00:19:19.241 --> 00:19:22.978
  • And so when we hear messages like this
  • 00:19:22.978 --> 00:19:24.947
  • That don't tickle our fancy, we get offended
  • 00:19:24.947 --> 00:19:27.716
  • Because we don't like what we hear.
  • 00:19:27.716 --> 00:19:30.219
  • And i'm telling you, every time you're moved by your flesh,
  • 00:19:30.219 --> 00:19:33.755
  • You direct another pharaoh in your life,
  • 00:19:33.755 --> 00:19:35.891
  • And you make a god out of something.
  • 00:19:35.891 --> 00:19:38.093
  • And someone that can never replace the king of kings
  • 00:19:38.093 --> 00:19:41.196
  • And the lord of lords.
  • 00:19:41.196 --> 00:19:46.168
  • And so what you refuse
  • 00:19:46.635 --> 00:19:47.669
  • To honor will eventually oppress you.
  • 00:19:47.669 --> 00:19:51.406
  • And stephen is teaching the sanhedrin council.
  • 00:19:51.406 --> 00:19:53.642
  • You say you believe in god, but you crucified him.
  • 00:19:53.642 --> 00:19:57.446
  • You say you believe in god,
  • 00:19:58.046 --> 00:19:59.781
  • But you've buried him,
  • 00:19:59.781 --> 00:20:02.851
  • And you continue to try to bury his message.
  • 00:20:02.851 --> 00:20:05.887
  • And when god's faithfulness is forgotten,
  • 00:20:06.722 --> 00:20:10.092
  • Bondage is born.
  • 00:20:10.092 --> 00:20:13.729
  • And every time a culture forgets jesus, a new king rises
  • 00:20:13.729 --> 00:20:17.232
  • To rule it in
  • 00:20:17.232 --> 00:20:18.333
  • Ideology and systems and putting in place false gods.
  • 00:20:18.333 --> 00:20:22.204
  • And here we are choosing and picking how
  • 00:20:22.204 --> 00:20:25.474
  • We serve and worship god based upon how god makes us feel.
  • 00:20:25.474 --> 00:20:31.980
  • Because our memory has gone.
  • 00:20:32.581 --> 00:20:36.451
  • And made christianity
  • 00:20:36.952 --> 00:20:38.020
  • About what we want.
  • 00:20:38.020 --> 00:20:41.123
  • Instead of what god demands.
  • 00:20:41.723 --> 00:20:49.765
  • We think.
  • 00:20:50.065 --> 00:20:53.035
  • That will live.
  • 00:20:53.035 --> 00:20:56.271
  • How we want to live.
  • 00:20:56.271 --> 00:20:59.474
  • Where we want to live
  • 00:20:59.474 --> 00:21:01.209
  • And do what we want to do.
  • 00:21:01.777 --> 00:21:04.179
  • And god is just going to be okay with it.
  • 00:21:04.179 --> 00:21:08.150
  • And pharaoh isn't going
  • 00:21:08.650 --> 00:21:10.419
  • To lead you into captivity.
  • 00:21:10.419 --> 00:21:30.572
  • What a generation does not remember.
  • 00:21:31.340 --> 00:21:34.810
  • It will repeat
  • 00:21:35.143 --> 00:21:38.046
  • And it will repeat it in chains
  • 00:21:38.046 --> 00:21:42.117
  • And shackles
  • 00:21:42.451 --> 00:21:44.653
  • And bondage.
  • 00:21:44.653 --> 00:21:48.090
  • Listen to me, parents.
  • 00:21:48.557 --> 00:21:51.626
  • You're so focused
  • 00:21:51.626 --> 00:21:52.928
  • On you and your flesh
  • 00:21:52.928 --> 00:21:56.198
  • That you have failed to pay attention
  • 00:21:56.198 --> 00:21:57.999
  • To what your own children are consuming.
  • 00:21:57.999 --> 00:22:03.171
  • And your children
  • 00:22:03.605 --> 00:22:06.341
  • Are entertaining egypt.
  • 00:22:06.341 --> 00:22:11.880
  • Your children are talking to pharaoh.
  • 00:22:12.714 --> 00:22:16.918
  • Your children are being fed the grain of egypt
  • 00:22:17.886 --> 00:22:21.556
  • On a daily basis because you're so distracted
  • 00:22:21.556 --> 00:22:24.860
  • By what you want and you trying to get the bag,
  • 00:22:24.860 --> 00:22:27.496
  • You trying to hustle
  • 00:22:27.496 --> 00:22:28.730
  • To make a better life for them, that you failed to provide
  • 00:22:28.730 --> 00:22:32.033
  • A spiritual life for them
  • 00:22:32.033 --> 00:22:33.802
  • And remind them that they don't belong here.
  • 00:22:33.802 --> 00:22:36.671
  • They too are just visitors and pilgrims traveling
  • 00:22:36.671 --> 00:22:40.409
  • Through an unknown land, and god has a plan for them
  • 00:22:40.409 --> 00:22:44.179
  • That surpasses what this flesh desires.
  • 00:22:44.179 --> 00:22:46.581
  • And if they get what they want, they won't get what they need.
  • 00:22:46.581 --> 00:22:52.621
  • When memory
  • 00:22:52.954 --> 00:22:53.822
  • Dies, our children raise themselves.
  • 00:22:53.822 --> 00:22:57.225
  • There are no lazy kids, only lazy
  • 00:22:57.225 --> 00:22:59.861
  • Parents who refuse to put a generation
  • 00:22:59.861 --> 00:23:02.864
  • Back to the king of kings and the lord of lords.
  • 00:23:02.864 --> 00:23:12.040
  • The removal of christ from the sinner
  • 00:23:12.841 --> 00:23:14.709
  • Always invites conflict to his place.
  • 00:23:14.709 --> 00:23:22.684
  • When memory does
  • 00:23:23.084 --> 00:23:25.253
  • Morality falls.
  • 00:23:25.253 --> 00:23:31.226
  • And spiritual amnesia.
  • 00:23:31.693 --> 00:23:34.563
  • It always produces societal chaos.
  • 00:23:34.563 --> 00:23:38.934
  • This is the thing that you need to remember.
  • 00:23:39.868 --> 00:23:43.171
  • Here is the good news of the gospel of jesus christ.
  • 00:23:43.171 --> 00:23:47.209
  • Kings may rise, but deliverers
  • 00:23:47.209 --> 00:23:50.345
  • Always outlast them.
  • 00:23:50.345 --> 00:23:57.319
  • Did you hear what i said?
  • 00:23:57.886 --> 00:24:00.789
  • Kings will fade away.
  • 00:24:00.789 --> 00:24:04.726
  • But the deliverer
  • 00:24:05.160 --> 00:24:07.462
  • Always outlast.
  • 00:24:07.462 --> 00:24:13.735
  • For every pharaoh that rises.
  • 00:24:14.369 --> 00:24:17.105
  • God is already preparing a moses.
  • 00:24:17.105 --> 00:24:26.848
  • And when oppression gets louder,
  • 00:24:27.482 --> 00:24:29.985
  • Deliverance gets closer.
  • 00:24:29.985 --> 00:24:33.722
  • I'll say it again.
  • 00:24:34.155 --> 00:24:35.290
  • When oppression gets louder, deliverance gets closer.
  • 00:24:35.290 --> 00:24:40.729
  • The chains you see are proof a deliverer is on the way.
  • 00:24:40.729 --> 00:24:45.600
  • And if you feel restricted.
  • 00:24:45.600 --> 00:24:47.235
  • And if you feel boxed in.
  • 00:24:47.235 --> 00:24:48.770
  • And if you feel like there's so much chaos.
  • 00:24:48.770 --> 00:24:51.172
  • And to motion
  • 00:24:51.172 --> 00:24:52.307
  • Going on around you, it's because the king of kings
  • 00:24:52.307 --> 00:24:55.176
  • Is drawing near and time
  • 00:24:55.176 --> 00:24:57.312
  • Is getting closer and closer for the king of kings return.
  • 00:24:57.312 --> 00:25:01.283
  • Stop playing around.
  • 00:25:01.283 --> 00:25:02.951
  • Stop messing around.
  • 00:25:02.951 --> 00:25:04.486
  • Run back to the feet of jesus and watch
  • 00:25:04.486 --> 00:25:07.589
  • How he restores and redeems and renews.
  • 00:25:07.589 --> 00:25:10.725
  • He did not come for you to play around.
  • 00:25:10.725 --> 00:25:12.827
  • He came so that you could have life and life more abundantly.
  • 00:25:12.827 --> 00:25:16.932
  • Well, family, we're out of time for today,
  • 00:25:17.799 --> 00:25:19.935
  • But i want to encourage you to continue to go
  • 00:25:19.935 --> 00:25:21.736
  • With us
  • 00:25:21.736 --> 00:25:22.571
  • Through the acts of the apostles,
  • 00:25:22.571 --> 00:25:23.505
  • As we continue to glean from the word of god
  • 00:25:23.505 --> 00:25:26.007
  • All that he has for us.
  • 00:25:26.007 --> 00:25:27.642
  • I truly believe that we're being transformed.
  • 00:25:27.642 --> 00:25:30.078
  • Our minds are being renewed, our souls are being revived,
  • 00:25:30.078 --> 00:25:33.248
  • And our spirits,
  • 00:25:33.248 --> 00:25:34.583
  • They are being enlightened to become more like jesus christ.
  • 00:25:34.583 --> 00:25:38.086
  • Every single day we find ourselves in the word of god.
  • 00:25:38.086 --> 00:25:42.424
  • I want to pray for you before we close.
  • 00:25:42.424 --> 00:25:44.626
  • I don't want to set myself in agreement with you
  • 00:25:44.626 --> 00:25:46.328
  • For the things you may be believing god for.
  • 00:25:46.328 --> 00:25:48.630
  • And so, right now, in jesus name,
  • 00:25:48.630 --> 00:25:50.732
  • I pray right now that you would continue
  • 00:25:50.732 --> 00:25:52.400
  • To radiate your light on my brothers and sisters.
  • 00:25:52.400 --> 00:25:55.003
  • Allow us to see you in everything we do.
  • 00:25:55.003 --> 00:25:57.939
  • Allow us to hear your voice clearly.
  • 00:25:57.939 --> 00:26:00.075
  • Allow us to see and feel your hand
  • 00:26:00.075 --> 00:26:02.210
  • Guiding us and giving us clarity and direction daily.
  • 00:26:02.210 --> 00:26:05.547
  • And lord, may we be moved by your power in your presence.
  • 00:26:05.547 --> 00:26:08.450
  • In the name of jesus we pray.
  • 00:26:08.450 --> 00:26:10.518
  • Amen.
  • 00:26:10.518 --> 00:26:11.686
