- WHEN JENNIFER AND I STARTED
00:00:01.517 --> 00:00:03.753
NEXT LEVEL CHURCH IN 2008,
00:00:03.753 --> 00:00:06.122
WE STARTED WITH A DREAM TO SEE
00:00:06.122 --> 00:00:08.257
A CHURCH BECOME A PLACE WHERE
00:00:08.257 --> 00:00:10.493
PEOPLE FROM ALL BACKGROUNDS,
00:00:10.493 --> 00:00:12.528
PEOPLE FROM ALL TYPES OF PASTS,
00:00:12.528 --> 00:00:13.963
COULD COME TOGETHER
00:00:13.963 --> 00:00:15.631
AND THEY COULD DREAM THAT
00:00:15.631 --> 00:00:17.100
THE GOD OF THE UNIVERSE
00:00:17.100 --> 00:00:18.701
COULD DO MORE IN US
00:00:18.701 --> 00:00:19.435
AND THROUGH US THAN
00:00:19.435 --> 00:00:22.438
WE COULD EVER HAVE IMAGINED.
00:00:22.438 --> 00:00:23.172
WE'RE GONNA DO CHURCH
00:00:23.172 --> 00:00:24.607
IN A WAY THAT MAKES SENSE
00:00:24.607 --> 00:00:26.209
IN TODAY'S CULTURE.
00:00:26.209 --> 00:00:26.676
WE ARE GONNA
00:00:26.676 --> 00:00:27.877
GIVE OF OUR TALENTS.
00:00:27.877 --> 00:00:28.711
WE ARE GONNA GIVE
00:00:28.711 --> 00:00:29.846
OF OUR TREASURE.
00:00:29.846 --> 00:00:31.581
WE ARE NOT GOING TO BE GREEDY,
00:00:31.581 --> 00:00:33.116
BUT WHEN THE WORLD LOOKS AT US
00:00:33.116 --> 00:00:33.983
AS A CHURCH,
00:00:33.983 --> 00:00:35.251
THEY ARE GOING TO SAY,
00:00:35.251 --> 00:00:37.320
"THEY ARE THE MOST GENEROUS
00:00:37.320 --> 00:00:38.754
GROUP OF PEOPLE THAT
00:00:38.754 --> 00:00:40.756
I HAVE EVER SEEN" -- WHY?
00:00:40.756 --> 00:00:42.492
BECAUSE WE ARE NEVER MORE
00:00:42.492 --> 00:00:46.295
LIKE JESUS THAN WHEN WE GIVE,
00:00:46.295 --> 00:00:48.097
WHEN WE WILL SEE JESUS DO
00:00:48.097 --> 00:00:49.599
WHAT ONLY HE CAN DO,
00:00:49.599 --> 00:00:51.701

AND WHEN YOU LOOKTHROUGHOUT HISTORY,
00:23:51.112 --> 00:23:51.746
THROUGHOUT HISTORY,WHAT HAS HAPPENED
00:23:51.746 --> 00:23:52.981
WHAT HAS HAPPENEDIS A GOOD THING,
00:23:52.981 --> 00:23:54.549
IS A GOOD THING,THE HOLY SPIRIT,

WHAT GOD HAS GIVEN US,LIKE MANY THINGS,
00:23:57.418 --> 00:23:59.454
LIKE MANY THINGS,WE ABUSED.
00:23:59.454 --> 00:24:01.122
WE ABUSED.AND IT BECAME A GOOD THING
00:24:01.122 --> 00:24:03.992
AND IT BECAME A GOOD THINGTHAT WAS NOT USED
00:24:03.992 --> 00:24:08.363
THAT WAS NOT USEDAS A GOOD BLESSING.
00:24:08.363 --> 00:24:09.430
AS A GOOD BLESSING.IT'S BEEN ABUSED.
00:24:09.430 --> 00:24:13.201
IT'S BEEN ABUSED.THE HOLY SPIRIT'S BEEN ABUSED.
00:24:13.201 --> 00:24:16.938
THE HOLY SPIRIT'S BEEN ABUSED.SO, WHY --
00:24:16.938 --> 00:24:19.274
SO, WHY --WHY DOES THE CHURCH
00:24:19.274 --> 00:24:20.008
WHY DOES THE CHURCHNOT OFTEN TALK ABOUT
00:24:20.008 --> 00:24:21.042
NOT OFTEN TALK ABOUTTHE HOLY SPIRIT?
00:24:21.042 --> 00:24:22.277
THE HOLY SPIRIT?IT'S BEEN ABUSED.
00:24:22.277 --> 00:24:23.311
IT'S BEEN ABUSED.AND THEN THE SECOND THING
00:24:23.311 --> 00:24:24.112
AND THEN THE SECOND THINGTHAT I THOUGHT WAS,
00:24:24.112 --> 00:24:26.981
THAT I THOUGHT WAS,"WELL, IT'S BEEN ABANDONED."
00:24:26.981 --> 00:24:28.316
"WELL, IT'S BEEN ABANDONED."BECAUSE AFTER THE ABUSE,
00:24:28.316 --> 00:24:29.617
BECAUSE AFTER THE ABUSE,WHAT HAPPENS OFTEN IS --
00:24:29.617 --> 00:24:31.920
WHAT HAPPENS OFTEN IS --IT'S JUST LIKE IN POLITICS.
00:24:31.920 --> 00:24:32.687
IT'S JUST LIKE IN POLITICS.WE ALWAYS SWING
00:24:32.687 --> 00:24:34.589
WE ALWAYS SWINGFROM EXTREME TO EXTREME.
00:24:34.589 --> 00:24:35.623
FROM EXTREME TO EXTREME.THAT'S WHY THERE'S TWO PARTIES,
00:24:35.623 --> 00:24:36.658
THAT'S WHY THERE'S TWO PARTIES,OR MORE PARTIES.
00:24:36.658 --> 00:24:37.392
OR MORE PARTIES.BUT THAT'S WHY
00:24:37.392 --> 00:24:38.593
BUT THAT'S WHYTHERE'S TWO MAJOR ONES.
00:24:38.593 --> 00:24:39.327
THERE'S TWO MAJOR ONES.WE SWING FROM EXTREME
00:24:39.327 --> 00:24:40.295
WE SWING FROM EXTREMETO EXTREME.
00:24:40.295 --> 00:24:41.763
TO EXTREME.THAT'S WHY NO PARTY SITS
00:24:41.763 --> 00:24:44.198
THAT'S WHY NO PARTY SITSIN THE SEAT FOREVER
00:24:44.198 --> 00:24:44.832
IN THE SEAT FOREVERBECAUSE WE TRY TO SWITCH
00:24:44.832 --> 00:24:45.433
BECAUSE WE TRY TO SWITCHTHE PENDULUM.
00:24:45.433 --> 00:24:46.167
THE PENDULUM.SAY, "THAT DIDN'T WORK.
00:24:46.167 --> 00:24:48.136
SAY, "THAT DIDN'T WORK.LET'S TRY SOMETHING ELSE."
00:24:48.136 --> 00:24:48.536
LET'S TRY SOMETHING ELSE."SAME THING HAPPENS
00:24:48.536 --> 00:24:49.971
SAME THING HAPPENSIN THE CHURCH.
00:24:49.971 --> 00:24:50.705
IN THE CHURCH.THE HOLY SPIRIT
00:24:50.705 --> 00:24:51.439
THE HOLY SPIRITWAS BEING ABUSED,
00:24:51.439 --> 00:24:52.373
WAS BEING ABUSED,AND SO WHAT DO WE DO?
00:24:52.373 --> 00:24:53.708
AND SO WHAT DO WE DO?WE SWUNG THE PENDULUM AND
00:24:53.708 --> 00:24:54.676
WE SWUNG THE PENDULUM ANDWE SAID, "LET'S NOT TALK
00:24:54.676 --> 00:24:55.410
WE SAID, "LET'S NOT TALKABOUT IT.
00:24:55.410 --> 00:24:56.411

OUT PEOPLE WHO HAVE SEENTHE HOLY SPIRIT ABUSED."
00:25:07.155 --> 00:25:08.156
THE HOLY SPIRIT ABUSED."AND SO, THEN WE ABANDON
00:25:08.156 --> 00:25:10.158
AND SO, THEN WE ABANDONTHE HOLY SPIRIT.
00:25:10.158 --> 00:25:10.925
