The Winning Walk with Dr. Ed Young | Ed Young - Finding Your Balance | March 25, 2026
  • Now you say, well,
  • 00:00:01.324 --> 00:00:03.093
  • I understand this guy was crazy.
  • 00:00:03.093 --> 00:00:05.962
  • Demon possessed.
  • 00:00:05.962 --> 00:00:06.996
  • He met jesus who was saying who was balanced?
  • 00:00:06.996 --> 00:00:11.601
  • You say, but i'm not. i'm not.
  • 00:00:11.601 --> 00:00:14.104
  • You know, i'm not shrieking at night
  • 00:00:14.104 --> 00:00:17.040
  • Much.
  • 00:00:17.040 --> 00:00:19.642
  • And i don't, you know,
  • 00:00:19.642 --> 00:00:21.711
  • See in the the truth that all of us have taken
  • 00:00:21.711 --> 00:00:25.048
  • The crazy pill at one time or another.
  • 00:00:25.048 --> 00:00:28.718
  • Yeah.
  • 00:00:28.952 --> 00:00:30.186
  • And there's areas in your life and in my life in which we're
  • 00:00:30.186 --> 00:00:32.822
  • Sort of out of balance. out of touch.
  • 00:00:32.822 --> 00:00:34.824
  • Yeah.
  • 00:00:34.824 --> 00:00:35.358
  • Yeah, sure.
  • 00:00:35.358 --> 00:00:55.378
  • Are you coachable?
  • 00:00:55.812 --> 00:00:58.414
  • We need a life coach.
  • 00:00:58.414 --> 00:00:59.449
  • Everybody does.
  • 00:00:59.449 --> 00:01:00.617
  • We decided that and i think we decided if you're
  • 00:01:00.617 --> 00:01:04.354
  • A sacred list or a christian, certainly jesus would be
  • 00:01:04.354 --> 00:01:08.291
  • The best coach you could ever get.
  • 00:01:08.291 --> 00:01:11.194
  • And then we decided he's already
  • 00:01:11.194 --> 00:01:12.795
  • Asked us and selected us to be on his team.
  • 00:01:12.795 --> 00:01:15.865
  • And if we are indeed on the team of the lord
  • 00:01:15.865 --> 00:01:19.469
  • Jesus christ, this means we surely are coachable.
  • 00:01:19.469 --> 00:01:24.274
  • What does it take to be coachable?
  • 00:01:24.274 --> 00:01:26.209
  • Humility and commitment.
  • 00:01:26.743 --> 00:01:30.213
  • Do you have that?
  • 00:01:30.647 --> 00:01:34.517
  • And then today we come about.
  • 00:01:32.982 --> 00:01:36.452
  • The important thing we have to have on this team is balance.
  • 00:01:36.452 --> 00:01:42.759
  • That's the first thing we have to have is balance.
  • 00:01:43.760 --> 00:01:47.063
  • Do you get that?
  • 00:01:47.463 --> 00:01:49.465
  • If you do say,
  • 00:01:49.465 --> 00:01:51.234
  • I got it, i get it.
  • 00:01:51.234 --> 00:01:53.203
  • Say i get it, i get it.
  • 00:01:53.203 --> 00:01:55.738
  • Say i got it.
  • 00:01:55.738 --> 00:01:58.341
  • Now both of you say it.
  • 00:01:58.341 --> 00:02:00.009
  • I got it. i got it.
  • 00:02:00.009 --> 00:02:02.912
  • I got it.
  • 00:02:02.912 --> 00:02:05.815
  • Balance
  • 00:02:05.815 --> 00:02:07.984
  • In the physical area.
  • 00:02:07.984 --> 00:02:09.185
  • It's important that we develop and work on our balance.
  • 00:02:09.185 --> 00:02:13.523
  • But even more important, that is spiritual balance.
  • 00:02:14.557 --> 00:02:17.427
  • We can get out of whack.
  • 00:02:17.961 --> 00:02:19.329
  • We can live a life.
  • 00:02:19.329 --> 00:02:20.430
  • That is what started over this way, over that way.
  • 00:02:20.430 --> 00:02:24.400
  • And when the life coach, jesus christ,
  • 00:02:24.400 --> 00:02:26.970
  • Comes to us and says, you're on my team,
  • 00:02:26.970 --> 00:02:30.273
  • What are the first things he wants to build into you?
  • 00:02:30.273 --> 00:02:33.610
  • And building into me is balance.
  • 00:02:33.610 --> 00:02:37.847
  • Do you get it?
  • 00:02:38.181 --> 00:02:40.450
  • I got it.
  • 00:02:40.450 --> 00:02:41.684
  • Do you get it?
  • 00:02:41.684 --> 00:02:43.620
  • If you didn't get it, did you get it?
  • 00:02:43.620 --> 00:02:46.489
  • You ready for this long?
  • 00:02:46.489 --> 00:02:48.124
  • We're tracking together.
  • 00:02:48.124 --> 00:02:49.092
  • We gotta stay in balance here.
  • 00:02:49.092 --> 00:02:51.261
  • How do you get balance?
  • 00:02:51.261 --> 00:02:52.462
  • First of all, you be getting balance by being still.
  • 00:02:52.462 --> 00:02:57.467
  • Be quiet.
  • 00:02:57.767 --> 00:02:58.635
  • Is there a quiet time in your life?
  • 00:02:58.635 --> 00:03:00.870
  • Every day?
  • 00:03:00.870 --> 00:03:01.571
  • A still time, unhurried time.
  • 00:03:01.571 --> 00:03:04.040
  • Not when you're lying down.
  • 00:03:04.040 --> 00:03:05.575
  • Oh, lord.
  • 00:03:05.575 --> 00:03:06.542
  • But special time doesn't have to be long.
  • 00:03:06.542 --> 00:03:10.480
  • It can be a brief time, but that you have to be still.
  • 00:03:10.480 --> 00:03:13.950
  • Remember when the israelites were slaves?
  • 00:03:13.950 --> 00:03:17.920
  • They're in egypt for over 400 years.
  • 00:03:17.920 --> 00:03:21.057
  • When moses brought them across the red sea,
  • 00:03:21.057 --> 00:03:23.493
  • They wanted to sinai there in the wilderness.
  • 00:03:23.493 --> 00:03:26.462
  • What is one of the first things god told moses to do?
  • 00:03:26.462 --> 00:03:29.499
  • Take the people back and let them now
  • 00:03:30.300 --> 00:03:33.202
  • Live out the sabbath.
  • 00:03:33.202 --> 00:03:35.038
  • Remember, they work seven days a week for 400 years.
  • 00:03:35.038 --> 00:03:39.709
  • The first thing god said to get you back
  • 00:03:39.709 --> 00:03:42.578
  • To that in your life.
  • 00:03:42.578 --> 00:03:43.846
  • Go back to worshiping me.
  • 00:03:43.846 --> 00:03:45.682
  • Get in balance.
  • 00:03:45.682 --> 00:03:46.783
  • One out of seven belongs to god.
  • 00:03:46.783 --> 00:03:50.353
  • That's balance.
  • 00:03:50.720 --> 00:03:52.655
  • And we just drive and go in so many areas.
  • 00:03:52.655 --> 00:03:56.192
  • We need that sabbath that is be still.
  • 00:03:56.192 --> 00:03:59.262
  • That's meditating.
  • 00:03:59.262 --> 00:04:00.596
  • That's listening, that's studying,
  • 00:04:00.596 --> 00:04:02.665
  • That's growing up in the lord.
  • 00:04:02.665 --> 00:04:04.267
  • Balanced.
  • 00:04:04.267 --> 00:04:05.234
  • Also, we can be still and get our balance,
  • 00:04:05.234 --> 00:04:08.571
  • But also we have to move through life.
  • 00:04:08.571 --> 00:04:10.139
  • Those who walked a high wire,
  • 00:04:10.139 --> 00:04:13.142
  • They've got those big poles.
  • 00:04:13.142 --> 00:04:14.711
  • And why's that? why? well, it helps their balance.
  • 00:04:14.711 --> 00:04:17.113
  • What's it really doing?
  • 00:04:17.113 --> 00:04:18.414
  • When?
  • 00:04:18.414 --> 00:04:19.115
  • When we're walking that wire.
  • 00:04:19.115 --> 00:04:20.383
  • Those who do that,
  • 00:04:20.383 --> 00:04:22.985
  • Their center is out of center.
  • 00:04:22.985 --> 00:04:25.722
  • Their core is misaligned.
  • 00:04:26.289 --> 00:04:28.091
  • Therefore, this pole helps keep their body in balance
  • 00:04:28.091 --> 00:04:31.461
  • As they move.
  • 00:04:31.461 --> 00:04:32.895
  • We have to stay in balance when we're still in our stillness.
  • 00:04:32.895 --> 00:04:36.866
  • We're able to stay in balance when we're moving through life.
  • 00:04:36.866 --> 00:04:39.969
  • In one way, you could say that
  • 00:04:39.969 --> 00:04:42.238
  • The christian life is walking a balance beam.
  • 00:04:42.238 --> 00:04:45.108
  • Remember the olympics, those ballots, beams
  • 00:04:45.108 --> 00:04:47.176
  • That they walk up, they flip on this little thing
  • 00:04:47.176 --> 00:04:50.680
  • And sometimes they fall.
  • 00:04:51.214 --> 00:04:52.849
  • That's life.
  • 00:04:52.849 --> 00:04:54.317
  • We fall off.
  • 00:04:54.317 --> 00:04:55.551
  • But thank goodness our life coach, when you're on his team,
  • 00:04:55.551 --> 00:04:58.855
  • He picks us back up and puts us back up there again.
  • 00:04:58.855 --> 00:05:02.558
  • Even we're on the balance beam of life.
  • 00:05:02.558 --> 00:05:04.660
  • We start to wobble in some areas.
  • 00:05:04.660 --> 00:05:06.729
  • Our life coach will just come and touch us.
  • 00:05:06.729 --> 00:05:09.399
  • Just touch us.
  • 00:05:09.399 --> 00:05:10.266
  • And steady as i'm here, i'm with you.
  • 00:05:10.266 --> 00:05:13.169
  • I know you're losing your balance.
  • 00:05:13.169 --> 00:05:16.239
  • This is what this is all about.
  • 00:05:16.239 --> 00:05:19.142
  • And therefore, when we're on his team,
  • 00:05:19.142 --> 00:05:21.778
  • The first thing i think we have to pay attention to
  • 00:05:21.778 --> 00:05:25.381
  • Is to be in balance.
  • 00:05:25.381 --> 00:05:28.818
  • Now, in our scripture, we're going to study somebody
  • 00:05:28.818 --> 00:05:32.588
  • Who was way out of balance.
  • 00:05:33.189 --> 00:05:35.725
  • Then we're going to look at somebody
  • 00:05:36.526 --> 00:05:37.894
  • Who had perfect balance,
  • 00:05:37.894 --> 00:05:40.329
  • And we're going to see how this person was way
  • 00:05:40.329 --> 00:05:42.598
  • Out of balance.
  • 00:05:42.598 --> 00:05:43.633
  • Met this person who had perfect balance.
  • 00:05:43.633 --> 00:05:46.469
  • Our life coach
  • 00:05:46.803 --> 00:05:49.539
  • And that person who had perfect balance
  • 00:05:49.539 --> 00:05:51.741
  • Took the person who was way out of balance in the balance.
  • 00:05:51.741 --> 00:05:55.178
  • That's where it happens.
  • 00:05:55.178 --> 00:05:57.113
  • That's the way it happens.
  • 00:05:57.113 --> 00:05:58.214
  • Watch this.
  • 00:05:58.214 --> 00:05:59.081
  • It's a powerful story that most of us
  • 00:05:59.081 --> 00:06:01.517
  • Are already pretty much familiar with, found in.
  • 00:06:01.517 --> 00:06:04.587
  • In mark's gospel, it's found also in two other gospels.
  • 00:06:04.587 --> 00:06:08.124
  • I like this account.
  • 00:06:08.124 --> 00:06:10.560
  • They, the disciples, came the other side of the sea,
  • 00:06:10.560 --> 00:06:13.629
  • And the country of the guest reads.
  • 00:06:13.629 --> 00:06:17.200
  • And when he got out of the boat,
  • 00:06:17.200 --> 00:06:18.868
  • Jesus, immediately a man from the an unclean spirit met him,
  • 00:06:18.868 --> 00:06:24.340
  • And he had his dwelling among the tombs,
  • 00:06:24.340 --> 00:06:26.409
  • And no one was able to bind him any more, even with a chain,
  • 00:06:26.409 --> 00:06:30.480
  • Because he had often been bound with shackles and chains,
  • 00:06:30.480 --> 00:06:33.983
  • And the chains had been torn apart by him,
  • 00:06:33.983 --> 00:06:36.686
  • And the shackles broken in pieces,
  • 00:06:36.686 --> 00:06:39.088
  • And no one was strong enough to subdue him.
  • 00:06:39.088 --> 00:06:42.124
  • Constantly, day and night he was screaming
  • 00:06:42.124 --> 00:06:44.660
  • Among the tombs and in the mountains.
  • 00:06:44.660 --> 00:06:46.896
  • And gnashing himself with stones.
  • 00:06:46.896 --> 00:06:49.165
  • Does that sound like somebody out of balance to you?
  • 00:06:49.165 --> 00:06:53.870
  • Crazy activity.
  • 00:06:54.237 --> 00:06:55.571
  • Cutting himself with stones.
  • 00:06:55.571 --> 00:06:57.573
  • He was out of balance. but look what happens.
  • 00:06:57.573 --> 00:06:59.709
  • He meets somebody who is in balance.
  • 00:06:59.709 --> 00:07:03.613
  • Verse six.
  • 00:07:03.913 --> 00:07:05.047
  • Seeing jesus from a distance, he ran and bowed down
  • 00:07:05.047 --> 00:07:07.717
  • Before him.
  • 00:07:07.717 --> 00:07:08.651
  • Here's a confrontation.
  • 00:07:08.651 --> 00:07:10.953
  • And and shouting with a loud voice, he said,
  • 00:07:10.953 --> 00:07:13.523
  • What business do we have with each other?
  • 00:07:13.523 --> 00:07:15.558
  • Jesus, son of the most high god, i am poor.
  • 00:07:15.558 --> 00:07:19.862
  • Hold on to that word.
  • 00:07:19.862 --> 00:07:20.930
  • Implore, i implore you, by god, that's profanity.
  • 00:07:20.930 --> 00:07:26.002
  • I implore you, by god, do not torment me.
  • 00:07:26.002 --> 00:07:30.806
  • First of all, there was confrontation.
  • 00:07:30.806 --> 00:07:34.043
  • Man out of balance meets jesus in balance.
  • 00:07:34.911 --> 00:07:38.381
  • And by the way, somebody in balance
  • 00:07:38.381 --> 00:07:40.149
  • Needs somebody out of balance.
  • 00:07:40.149 --> 00:07:41.450
  • The person out of balance
  • 00:07:41.450 --> 00:07:42.518
  • Always have trouble with the person in balance.
  • 00:07:42.518 --> 00:07:45.288
  • And the person in balance
  • 00:07:45.288 --> 00:07:46.556
  • Can't understand the person out about. have you noticed that?
  • 00:07:46.556 --> 00:07:51.527
  • And so there is
  • 00:07:51.894 --> 00:07:54.664
  • Confrontation.
  • 00:07:54.664 --> 00:07:55.565
  • Then there's rationalization.
  • 00:07:55.565 --> 00:07:57.900
  • What have i to do with you?
  • 00:07:57.900 --> 00:08:00.002
  • I mean, my goodness, you're divine.
  • 00:08:00.002 --> 00:08:02.738
  • You're the son of god, and and i i'm i'm demonic.
  • 00:08:02.738 --> 00:08:05.708
  • What have i to do?
  • 00:08:05.708 --> 00:08:06.576
  • You know, just just get out of here.
  • 00:08:06.576 --> 00:08:09.045
  • This confrontation.
  • 00:08:09.045 --> 00:08:10.680
  • And then i would.
  • 00:08:10.680 --> 00:08:11.380
  • You see, there is confession.
  • 00:08:11.380 --> 00:08:15.518
  • Confession.
  • 00:08:15.851 --> 00:08:17.086
  • Verse eight.
  • 00:08:17.086 --> 00:08:17.753
  • For he had been saying to him,
  • 00:08:17.753 --> 00:08:19.155
  • Come out of the man, you unclean spirit.
  • 00:08:19.155 --> 00:08:21.924
  • And jesus asked him, what is your name?
  • 00:08:21.924 --> 00:08:25.294
  • And he said to him, my name is legion.
  • 00:08:25.294 --> 00:08:27.830
  • For we are many.
  • 00:08:27.830 --> 00:08:30.700
  • When he confessed his name, he knew jesus.
  • 00:08:30.700 --> 00:08:33.769
  • He knew jesus name when he confessed.
  • 00:08:33.769 --> 00:08:35.871
  • His name is legion.
  • 00:08:35.871 --> 00:08:36.939
  • He was confessing because to have someone name
  • 00:08:36.939 --> 00:08:40.409
  • In that culture is you understood them.
  • 00:08:40.409 --> 00:08:43.145
  • He says, i'm legion.
  • 00:08:43.145 --> 00:08:44.380
  • And the legion was a roman troop of 6000.
  • 00:08:44.380 --> 00:08:48.184
  • You say you mean there were 6000?
  • 00:08:48.918 --> 00:08:51.153
  • How? easy.
  • 00:08:51.153 --> 00:08:53.322
  • Easy.
  • 00:08:53.322 --> 00:08:54.223
  • My name is legion, for i am many.
  • 00:08:54.223 --> 00:08:56.559
  • That was his confession
  • 00:08:56.559 --> 00:08:58.060
  • Of my helplessness and my hopelessness.
  • 00:08:58.060 --> 00:09:00.396
  • And you can't tell when the devils were speaking.
  • 00:09:00.396 --> 00:09:03.766
  • The demons were speaking.
  • 00:09:03.766 --> 00:09:04.934
  • When the man was speaking, he was so possessed.
  • 00:09:04.934 --> 00:09:08.404
  • Heart, mind, spirit.
  • 00:09:08.871 --> 00:09:10.106
  • Everything about him.
  • 00:09:10.106 --> 00:09:11.941
  • Way bizarre.
  • 00:09:12.274 --> 00:09:13.509
  • Out of balance.
  • 00:09:13.509 --> 00:09:15.344
  • He meets jesus, who's in balance.
  • 00:09:15.344 --> 00:09:17.680
  • Confrontation, rationalization.
  • 00:09:17.680 --> 00:09:19.782
  • What have i to do with you?
  • 00:09:19.782 --> 00:09:21.283
  • And the confession?
  • 00:09:21.283 --> 00:09:22.952
  • And then we see the repentance is right here.
  • 00:09:22.952 --> 00:09:25.755
  • Look at it.
  • 00:09:25.755 --> 00:09:27.923
  • And he began to implore him earnestly
  • 00:09:27.923 --> 00:09:30.693
  • To send them, to send them out of the country.
  • 00:09:30.693 --> 00:09:34.163
  • Now there was a large herd of swine feeding nearby
  • 00:09:34.163 --> 00:09:37.233
  • On the mountain.
  • 00:09:37.233 --> 00:09:38.467
  • And the demons implored him, saying, send us in the swine,
  • 00:09:38.467 --> 00:09:41.470
  • That we may enter them.
  • 00:09:41.470 --> 00:09:42.438
  • Jesus gave them permission,
  • 00:09:42.438 --> 00:09:44.607
  • And coming out the unclean spirits entered the swine,
  • 00:09:44.607 --> 00:09:48.177
  • And the herd rushed down the steep back bank
  • 00:09:48.177 --> 00:09:50.780
  • Into the sea, about 2000 of them,
  • 00:09:50.780 --> 00:09:54.316
  • And they were drowned in the sea.
  • 00:09:54.316 --> 00:09:56.585
  • That is repentance.
  • 00:09:56.585 --> 00:09:57.453
  • What happens when we confess our sin?
  • 00:09:57.453 --> 00:09:59.755
  • He said, hey, i'm legion.
  • 00:09:59.755 --> 00:10:01.157
  • I have all these demons.
  • 00:10:01.157 --> 00:10:02.758
  • Then jesus cast those demons out.
  • 00:10:02.758 --> 00:10:05.761
  • And because they wanted to be embodied in in swine
  • 00:10:05.761 --> 00:10:08.698
  • And the pigs that were there, jesus said, okay,
  • 00:10:08.698 --> 00:10:12.368
  • This is where the evil always oversteps itself.
  • 00:10:12.368 --> 00:10:15.905
  • And the swine panic and went over and the bottom of the sea.
  • 00:10:15.905 --> 00:10:19.575
  • That's what happens. your sin and my sin in.
  • 00:10:19.575 --> 00:10:22.511
  • He said,
  • 00:10:22.778 --> 00:10:23.913
  • I will hide all your sins at the bottom of the sea.
  • 00:10:23.913 --> 00:10:25.848
  • And he said, i put a sign up.
  • 00:10:25.848 --> 00:10:27.049
  • No fishing.
  • 00:10:27.049 --> 00:10:29.151
  • Why do you keep going with god
  • 00:10:29.151 --> 00:10:30.419
  • Saying, lord, forgive me of this.
  • 00:10:30.419 --> 00:10:31.954
  • I've already been there.
  • 00:10:31.954 --> 00:10:32.955
  • He said, i've forgiven you of that years ago.
  • 00:10:32.955 --> 00:10:34.690
  • What? what do you do? what is this?
  • 00:10:34.690 --> 00:10:37.226
  • So here we see an amazing story.
  • 00:10:37.226 --> 00:10:40.463
  • 2000.
  • 00:10:40.696 --> 00:10:41.731
  • You say what in the world?
  • 00:10:41.731 --> 00:10:43.899
  • Who? the world. we're raising pigs.
  • 00:10:43.899 --> 00:10:45.668
  • It was against the law to raise pigs.
  • 00:10:45.668 --> 00:10:48.070
  • Man, you can't eat pork if you're a jew.
  • 00:10:48.070 --> 00:10:50.306
  • These were gentiles.
  • 00:10:50.306 --> 00:10:52.541
  • The gentiles had a big business.
  • 00:10:52.541 --> 00:10:54.310
  • 2000 hogs.
  • 00:10:54.310 --> 00:10:55.845
  • That's a lot of money, folks.
  • 00:10:55.845 --> 00:10:58.047
  • A lot of pork on the ground.
  • 00:10:58.047 --> 00:10:59.715
  • And they sold the pork to the gentiles. but
  • 00:10:59.715 --> 00:11:02.318
  • Once in a while, i'm just guessing.
  • 00:11:03.085 --> 00:11:05.287
  • I imagine some of those jews
  • 00:11:05.287 --> 00:11:07.590
  • Ordered the little side of bacon.
  • 00:11:07.590 --> 00:11:09.191
  • You're looking at me.
  • 00:11:09.191 --> 00:11:10.092
  • I don't know what's.
  • 00:11:10.092 --> 00:11:13.129
  • And look at the response to this that came.
  • 00:11:13.129 --> 00:11:17.166
  • It's just so, so amazing, i tell you.
  • 00:11:17.166 --> 00:11:19.969
  • Look at it closely.
  • 00:11:19.969 --> 00:11:21.804
  • And then the herdsmen ran away
  • 00:11:21.804 --> 00:11:24.540
  • And reported it in the city and the country,
  • 00:11:25.474 --> 00:11:27.910
  • And the people came to see what it was that had happened.
  • 00:11:27.910 --> 00:11:32.214
  • Verse 15 and they came to jesus and observed the man
  • 00:11:33.249 --> 00:11:36.685
  • Who had been demon possessed, sitting down, clothed
  • 00:11:36.685 --> 00:11:41.290
  • In his right mind, the very man who had the legion.
  • 00:11:41.290 --> 00:11:45.761
  • And they became frightened in that a picture of someone
  • 00:11:45.761 --> 00:11:50.633
  • Who's now in balance, seated,
  • 00:11:50.633 --> 00:11:53.669
  • Clothed in their right mind.
  • 00:11:54.270 --> 00:11:57.673
  • Man, the power of our life coach.
  • 00:11:58.407 --> 00:12:01.377
  • Then the next part is sort of apprentices.
  • 00:12:02.278 --> 00:12:04.747
  • Well, that's a perfect picture of salvation.
  • 00:12:04.747 --> 00:12:07.683
  • And look at look at the rest of this.
  • 00:12:07.683 --> 00:12:09.785
  • It even
  • 00:12:09.785 --> 00:12:10.986
  • I think is hard to understand till you look at verse 16.
  • 00:12:10.986 --> 00:12:14.890
  • And those who had see it described to them had happened
  • 00:12:14.890 --> 00:12:17.560
  • To the demon possessed man, and all about to swine.
  • 00:12:17.560 --> 00:12:21.630
  • And they began to implore theirs.
  • 00:12:21.630 --> 00:12:23.833
  • I word him to leave their region.
  • 00:12:23.833 --> 00:12:26.902
  • And as he was getting into the boat,
  • 00:12:26.902 --> 00:12:30.072
  • Jesus, the man who had been demon possessed,
  • 00:12:30.072 --> 00:12:32.975
  • Was imploring him that he might have come to him.
  • 00:12:32.975 --> 00:12:36.278
  • Is that kind of strange?
  • 00:12:36.278 --> 00:12:37.847
  • A few verses before this man, demon possessed, said,
  • 00:12:37.847 --> 00:12:41.016
  • Get out of here.
  • 00:12:41.016 --> 00:12:42.218
  • I have nothing to do with you.
  • 00:12:42.218 --> 00:12:43.652
  • And now he's saying, let me go with you.
  • 00:12:43.652 --> 00:12:45.688
  • What a change!
  • 00:12:45.688 --> 00:12:47.656
  • That's what god does.
  • 00:12:47.656 --> 00:12:48.724
  • That's what christ does.
  • 00:12:48.724 --> 00:12:50.292
  • That's what the head coach will do for you and me.
  • 00:12:50.292 --> 00:12:53.529
  • If we really get under his tutelage and let him
  • 00:12:53.529 --> 00:12:56.799
  • Mentor us and build again the right stuff in your life.
  • 00:12:56.799 --> 00:13:00.569
  • In my life.
  • 00:13:00.569 --> 00:13:01.570
  • Do you get it?
  • 00:13:01.570 --> 00:13:02.872
  • Yeah, i got it. did you get it?
  • 00:13:02.872 --> 00:13:05.307
  • Now, here is something that's really more difficult
  • 00:13:06.308 --> 00:13:09.411
  • To understand at first reading verse 19
  • 00:13:09.411 --> 00:13:12.314
  • And jesus did not let him go with him.
  • 00:13:12.314 --> 00:13:15.017
  • He said, go home to your people and report to them
  • 00:13:15.017 --> 00:13:17.620
  • What great things
  • 00:13:17.620 --> 00:13:18.787
  • The lord has done for you and how he has mercy on you.
  • 00:13:18.787 --> 00:13:22.024
  • And the man went away and began to proclaim in decapolis
  • 00:13:22.024 --> 00:13:25.160
  • Ten cities what great things jesus had done for them.
  • 00:13:25.160 --> 00:13:29.098
  • And everyone was amazed.
  • 00:13:29.098 --> 00:13:31.000
  • Now does that seem weird?
  • 00:13:31.000 --> 00:13:33.836
  • Here's somebody who had been infamous,
  • 00:13:33.836 --> 00:13:36.772
  • Feared by on prowl.
  • 00:13:37.239 --> 00:13:39.942
  • The neighborhood howled at night,
  • 00:13:39.942 --> 00:13:43.078
  • And now he was clothed in his right mind.
  • 00:13:43.078 --> 00:13:47.116
  • Looks like jesus.
  • 00:13:47.549 --> 00:13:48.384
  • Say, hey, you want to follow me?
  • 00:13:48.384 --> 00:13:49.718
  • You'd be a good illustration.
  • 00:13:49.718 --> 00:13:51.053
  • Come and go with me and tell your story.
  • 00:13:51.053 --> 00:13:53.956
  • He said no.
  • 00:13:54.290 --> 00:13:55.090
  • Go back to decapolis and tell them.
  • 00:13:55.090 --> 00:13:57.760
  • Now notice the people of decapolis
  • 00:13:57.760 --> 00:13:59.428
  • Came and said, jesus, get out of here.
  • 00:13:59.428 --> 00:14:01.463
  • We don't want you around these ten cities. right?
  • 00:14:01.463 --> 00:14:04.566
  • Implored him, urged him.
  • 00:14:05.100 --> 00:14:08.570
  • But what you don't know about
  • 00:14:09.204 --> 00:14:12.374
  • Two and a half chapters later,
  • 00:14:12.374 --> 00:14:13.976
  • Jesus was going back into decapolis.
  • 00:14:13.976 --> 00:14:16.912
  • And what happened?
  • 00:14:16.912 --> 00:14:19.181
  • Now they said, come, come, come, come.
  • 00:14:19.181 --> 00:14:22.685
  • And he had one of his greatest
  • 00:14:22.685 --> 00:14:24.053
  • Ministries there, and all were healed.
  • 00:14:24.053 --> 00:14:28.223
  • A child takes their
  • 00:14:28.691 --> 00:14:29.758
  • First step unsteady.
  • 00:14:29.758 --> 00:14:32.528
  • Unsure.
  • 00:14:32.761 --> 00:14:34.363
  • Reaching for a father's hand.
  • 00:14:34.363 --> 00:14:36.632
  • No one is born knowing how to walk.
  • 00:14:36.632 --> 00:14:39.001
  • It takes training, strength.
  • 00:14:39.001 --> 00:14:41.403

  • 00:16:14.430 --> 00:16:16.432
  • That's accurate.
  • 00:16:16.432 --> 00:16:17.933
  • Do you have an idea?
  • 00:16:18.400 --> 00:16:19.334
  • Dream of what life is all about.
  • 00:16:19.334 --> 00:16:21.670
  • Where are you going?
  • 00:16:21.670 --> 00:16:22.604
  • A sense of destiny. a sense of purpose.
  • 00:16:22.604 --> 00:16:24.540
  • Do you have a plan that works, that keeps you in balance?
  • 00:16:24.540 --> 00:16:29.078
  • There was a scotchman who
  • 00:16:29.645 --> 00:16:32.114
  • Ferried people across a river.
  • 00:16:32.114 --> 00:16:34.650
  • And on one.
  • 00:16:34.650 --> 00:16:35.417
  • Or he had faith on the other.
  • 00:16:35.417 --> 00:16:37.486
  • Or he had works.
  • 00:16:37.486 --> 00:16:39.488
  • And so as he was going across, somebody asked, well,
  • 00:16:39.488 --> 00:16:42.091
  • What are these orders about faith and works?
  • 00:16:42.091 --> 00:16:44.793
  • He said, well, it keeps my balance.
  • 00:16:44.793 --> 00:16:46.628
  • He said, if i just had faith.
  • 00:16:46.628 --> 00:16:49.031
  • And he began to use the awe and he turned around.
  • 00:16:49.031 --> 00:16:52.768
  • Look what happened. you'd go round and round, he said.
  • 00:16:52.768 --> 00:16:54.937
  • If i just had works, i'd go round and around,
  • 00:16:54.937 --> 00:16:58.607
  • He said, but i've got faith and i've got works.
  • 00:16:58.607 --> 00:17:01.477
  • And that gives me balanced faith.
  • 00:17:01.477 --> 00:17:04.379
  • Oh, i have a lot of faith in god, but no application is
  • 00:17:04.379 --> 00:17:07.783
  • Not valid. it's dead.
  • 00:17:07.783 --> 00:17:10.119
  • It's dead.
  • 00:17:10.419 --> 00:17:11.120
  • But i have all good works.
  • 00:17:11.120 --> 00:17:12.855
  • That's just pride.
  • 00:17:12.855 --> 00:17:13.922
  • And this is backed up by faith in jesus christ.
  • 00:17:13.922 --> 00:17:16.325
  • You see, that is balance.
  • 00:17:16.325 --> 00:17:18.193
  • That is god's plan for you and god's plan for me.
  • 00:17:18.193 --> 00:17:22.498
  • We are to have balance.
  • 00:17:22.498 --> 00:17:25.000
  • To be in balance is to have a plan.
  • 00:17:25.000 --> 00:17:27.970
  • Look at the next thing to tell,
  • 00:17:27.970 --> 00:17:29.171
  • Whether you're in balance or not.
  • 00:17:29.171 --> 00:17:30.472
  • By the way, did you get that?
  • 00:17:30.472 --> 00:17:33.142
  • Good, good. to be up.
  • 00:17:33.142 --> 00:17:34.910
  • To be in balance is to be a part of a team.
  • 00:17:34.910 --> 00:17:37.980
  • What do we need? soloists.
  • 00:17:38.547 --> 00:17:40.215
  • Jesus was a master ceo, was he not?
  • 00:17:40.215 --> 00:17:43.986
  • He brought this ragtag bunch of nobodies together.
  • 00:17:43.986 --> 00:17:47.856
  • What does a fisherman have in common with a doctor?
  • 00:17:47.856 --> 00:17:51.193
  • What or what in the world does
  • 00:17:51.793 --> 00:17:53.395
  • A tax collector have in common with a day worker?
  • 00:17:53.395 --> 00:17:56.298
  • He brought that group together into a team.
  • 00:17:56.298 --> 00:17:59.801
  • He didn't gather hundreds.
  • 00:17:59.801 --> 00:18:01.670
  • He gathered a team and they changed the world.
  • 00:18:01.670 --> 00:18:04.907
  • This may come as a shock to you,
  • 00:18:04.907 --> 00:18:08.143
  • But all
  • 00:18:08.377 --> 00:18:09.811
  • The cumulative wisdom in this room
  • 00:18:09.811 --> 00:18:12.648
  • Is greater than the wisdom of any one of us.
  • 00:18:12.648 --> 00:18:15.517
  • Oh, boy, that's really news.
  • 00:18:15.517 --> 00:18:18.487
  • You see, we're part of a team.
  • 00:18:19.087 --> 00:18:22.724
  • Our life coach was saying, you need to be on a team.
  • 00:18:22.724 --> 00:18:25.127
  • You need to be a part of the church.
  • 00:18:25.127 --> 00:18:27.029
  • You need to be in the middle of it.
  • 00:18:27.029 --> 00:18:28.530
  • That's how we grow together.
  • 00:18:28.530 --> 00:18:30.599
  • That's how we mature together.
  • 00:18:30.599 --> 00:18:32.367
  • To be in balance is to be on a team.
  • 00:18:32.367 --> 00:18:35.470
  • Look at the next thing.
  • 00:18:35.470 --> 00:18:37.873
  • To be in balance
  • 00:18:37.873 --> 00:18:39.608
  • Is to go with your passion,
  • 00:18:39.608 --> 00:18:42.811
  • To go with your passion.
  • 00:18:42.811 --> 00:18:44.112
  • Do you realize
  • 00:18:44.112 --> 00:18:45.080
  • If you are living on the basis of your passion,
  • 00:18:45.080 --> 00:18:48.850
  • And your passion is involved in your work,
  • 00:18:48.850 --> 00:18:51.353
  • You'll never have to work another day of your life
  • 00:18:51.353 --> 00:18:54.356
  • To do that.
  • 00:18:54.690 --> 00:18:56.124
  • Your passion to be in balance.
  • 00:18:56.124 --> 00:18:58.527
  • Go with your passion. you get it.
  • 00:18:58.527 --> 00:19:02.431
  • All right.
  • 00:19:02.731 --> 00:19:03.599
  • The next one
  • 00:19:03.599 --> 00:19:06.068
  • To be in balance.
  • 00:19:06.068 --> 00:19:07.069
  • Operate out of your genius.
  • 00:19:07.069 --> 00:19:08.437
  • See the chart.
  • 00:19:08.437 --> 00:19:10.672
  • You have genius.
  • 00:19:10.672 --> 00:19:11.573
  • You have struggling.
  • 00:19:11.573 --> 00:19:13.108
  • You say i'm struggling because,
  • 00:19:13.108 --> 00:19:15.777
  • I'm not good in sales.
  • 00:19:15.777 --> 00:19:19.181
  • Oh, i'm trying, but i'm sure. but.
  • 00:19:19.915 --> 00:19:21.750
  • But you're genius. may be in management.
  • 00:19:21.750 --> 00:19:24.419
  • If you're struggling, it falls right down.
  • 00:19:24.419 --> 00:19:27.089
  • Say i'm incompetent. i can't do anything.
  • 00:19:27.089 --> 00:19:29.291
  • I'm not a good salesman,
  • 00:19:29.291 --> 00:19:30.592
  • But put you over management where you can see something.
  • 00:19:30.592 --> 00:19:33.629
  • All of a sudden you're genius.
  • 00:19:33.629 --> 00:19:35.097
  • You become competent.
  • 00:19:35.097 --> 00:19:39.334
  • A good idea is worth a dollar.
  • 00:19:37.766 --> 00:19:42.871
  • You know that good idea.
  • 00:19:43.405 --> 00:19:45.407
  • Creative idea in genius that's worth about a dollar.
  • 00:19:45.407 --> 00:19:48.877
  • A way to implement an idea
  • 00:19:49.444 --> 00:19:52.581
  • That's valuable is worth $1 million.
  • 00:19:52.581 --> 00:19:55.550
  • You have all these great, wonderful idea, all that
  • 00:19:56.585 --> 00:19:59.821
  • Implementing those ideas that get you the area of genius.
  • 00:19:59.821 --> 00:20:03.925
  • Where is your genius?
  • 00:20:03.925 --> 00:20:05.761
  • Well, i don't know.
  • 00:20:06.228 --> 00:20:07.396
  • Find out
  • 00:20:07.396 --> 00:20:09.798
  • If you're living on the base, your passion or the base.
  • 00:20:09.798 --> 00:20:11.967
  • Your genius is like, well, it's too late for me.
  • 00:20:11.967 --> 00:20:15.103
  • Are you still breathing?
  • 00:20:15.103 --> 00:20:20.075
  • You see,
  • 00:20:20.342 --> 00:20:21.410
  • This is how we get in balance with where we are,
  • 00:20:21.410 --> 00:20:25.213
  • With the capacity we are at this moment to be in balance.
  • 00:20:25.213 --> 00:20:29.084
  • Operate out of your genius.
  • 00:20:29.084 --> 00:20:31.086
  • Look at the fifth thing.
  • 00:20:31.086 --> 00:20:34.389
  • To be in balance.
  • 00:20:34.823 --> 00:20:35.857
  • You're not always nice.
  • 00:20:35.857 --> 00:20:38.393
  • Whoa! somebody asked me.
  • 00:20:38.393 --> 00:20:41.063
  • Oh, you.
  • 00:20:41.063 --> 00:20:41.596
  • Oh, you always nice.
  • 00:20:41.596 --> 00:20:42.597
  • I said no, boy.
  • 00:20:42.597 --> 00:20:44.700
  • You should be always nice.
  • 00:20:44.700 --> 00:20:46.201
  • Jesus. oh, wait a minute.
  • 00:20:46.201 --> 00:20:48.403
  • We should always be kind.
  • 00:20:48.403 --> 00:20:50.872
  • But we can't always be nice.
  • 00:20:50.872 --> 00:20:53.642
  • As the pharisees and sadducees, how nice jesus was
  • 00:20:53.642 --> 00:20:57.145
  • As those who exploited children.
  • 00:20:57.846 --> 00:20:59.715
  • How nice. jesus of nazareth was.
  • 00:20:59.715 --> 00:21:03.452
  • Yeah.
  • 00:21:03.685 --> 00:21:04.486
  • When we die, were we nice adults?
  • 00:21:04.486 --> 00:21:06.288
  • Hitler wounded, divided up czechoslovakia.
  • 00:21:06.288 --> 00:21:08.824
  • We nice.
  • 00:21:08.824 --> 00:21:10.525
  • You see,
  • 00:21:10.525 --> 00:21:12.027
  • We can't always be nice.
  • 00:21:12.027 --> 00:21:13.328
  • We can always be kind.
  • 00:21:13.328 --> 00:21:15.897
  • And somebody said, well, i don't want
  • 00:21:15.897 --> 00:21:17.566
  • To cause any trouble. that's his goal.
  • 00:21:17.566 --> 00:21:19.835
  • Now you pray and you think and you work through it,
  • 00:21:19.835 --> 00:21:22.704
  • But you can't always be nice.
  • 00:21:22.704 --> 00:21:24.072
  • But we can always be kind.
  • 00:21:24.072 --> 00:21:25.640
  • That's a difference.
  • 00:21:25.640 --> 00:21:27.042
  • And if you're in balance, you understand that.
  • 00:21:27.042 --> 00:21:29.711
  • Do you get it?
  • 00:21:29.711 --> 00:21:31.780
  • Okay, look at the next one.
  • 00:21:31.780 --> 00:21:34.950
  • To be in balance, you choose your battle.
  • 00:21:34.950 --> 00:21:38.220
  • Tell me what is right to fight over anything.
  • 00:21:38.220 --> 00:21:41.156
  • Be careful what you attack.
  • 00:21:41.156 --> 00:21:43.492
  • Be careful what you say.
  • 00:21:43.492 --> 00:21:45.026
  • Choose your battle carefully.
  • 00:21:45.026 --> 00:21:46.962
  • Jesus did.
  • 00:21:46.962 --> 00:21:48.530
  • He's our life coach.
  • 00:21:48.530 --> 00:21:50.966
  • I mean, he was the first person he crucified.
  • 00:21:50.966 --> 00:21:53.869
  • He walked by a lot of people who were dying on the cross
  • 00:21:53.869 --> 00:21:57.406
  • In his life. you can be sure of that.
  • 00:21:57.406 --> 00:21:59.608
  • He walked by a lot of people who were spitting
  • 00:21:59.608 --> 00:22:01.777
  • On prostitutes.
  • 00:22:01.777 --> 00:22:02.878
  • He didn't do anything. he.
  • 00:22:02.878 --> 00:22:04.713
  • A lot of people were sick.
  • 00:22:04.713 --> 00:22:05.847
  • He didn't heal everybody.
  • 00:22:05.847 --> 00:22:07.315
  • Why, why, why was that?
  • 00:22:07.315 --> 00:22:08.850
  • I mean, you see, that was not according to his life purpose.
  • 00:22:08.850 --> 00:22:12.421
  • That was not his business at that time.
  • 00:22:13.221 --> 00:22:15.857
  • His miracles were a sign.
  • 00:22:15.857 --> 00:22:18.260
  • Certainly it was compassion, but also it was a sign
  • 00:22:18.260 --> 00:22:20.996
  • That pointed to who he was.
  • 00:22:20.996 --> 00:22:22.798
  • And some people think, well, here's a miracle.
  • 00:22:22.798 --> 00:22:24.800
  • Just do this.
  • 00:22:24.800 --> 00:22:25.867
  • Bang bang bang bang. no, no, no.
  • 00:22:25.867 --> 00:22:28.236
  • It was a sign as well
  • 00:22:28.236 --> 00:22:29.871
  • As compassion at that person at that time in that situation.
  • 00:22:29.871 --> 00:22:33.742
  • And it was pointing
  • 00:22:33.742 --> 00:22:34.810
  • To the reality that they would understand here
  • 00:22:34.810 --> 00:22:37.746
  • Is god in flesh and time, and it is three
  • 00:22:37.746 --> 00:22:41.216
  • So to be in balance,
  • 00:22:41.683 --> 00:22:43.552
  • You choose your battles.
  • 00:22:43.552 --> 00:22:46.054
  • Do you get it
  • 00:22:46.054 --> 00:22:47.856
  • Right?
  • 00:22:47.856 --> 00:22:49.658
  • Next one to be in balance.
  • 00:22:49.658 --> 00:22:51.393
  • You know the difference between ownership and stewardship.
  • 00:22:51.393 --> 00:22:53.728
  • We've we talked about that many times recently.
  • 00:22:53.728 --> 00:22:56.731
  • Well, i own all this.
  • 00:22:56.731 --> 00:22:58.066
  • You don't own anything.
  • 00:22:58.066 --> 00:22:59.968
  • Well i have stock at 80.
  • 00:22:59.968 --> 00:23:01.870
  • No you don't.
  • 00:23:01.870 --> 00:23:03.438
  • It all belongs to the lord.
  • 00:23:03.438 --> 00:23:04.973
  • We get that straight that we're just storage.
  • 00:23:04.973 --> 00:23:07.409
  • We're we're accountable for what he's given us.
  • 00:23:07.409 --> 00:23:09.945
  • This brief period on this earth.
  • 00:23:09.945 --> 00:23:11.646
  • We're way ahead of the game.
  • 00:23:11.646 --> 00:23:13.048
  • And if you're in balance, you get that.
  • 00:23:13.048 --> 00:23:15.450
  • You understand that? do you get it
  • 00:23:15.450 --> 00:23:19.154
  • Right?
  • 00:23:19.354 --> 00:23:20.822
  • Next one
  • 00:23:20.822 --> 00:23:22.991
  • To be in balance.
  • 00:23:22.991 --> 00:23:23.925
  • You know the importance of little things.
  • 00:23:23.925 --> 00:23:28.230
  • Little things.
  • 00:23:28.563 --> 00:23:30.699
  • Somebody called me this week and told me
  • 00:23:30.699 --> 00:23:32.667
  • That they were visiting our church from another state,
  • 00:23:32.667 --> 00:23:36.238
  • But they saw one of our security guards was bent down
  • 00:23:36.238 --> 00:23:39.508
  • Looking at a little lady who was confused.
  • 00:23:39.508 --> 00:23:41.877
  • And he was so sweet and kind, and he listened to it.
  • 00:23:41.877 --> 00:23:44.913
  • He said, i heard your sermon, but i saw a better sermon,
  • 00:23:44.913 --> 00:23:49.117
  • You know, just little did they know.
  • 00:23:49.885 --> 00:23:51.820
  • Little people are big people in this world.
  • 00:23:51.820 --> 00:23:53.989
  • We we think that we're we're out of balance.
  • 00:23:53.989 --> 00:23:57.626
  • Little things are important.
  • 00:23:58.226 --> 00:23:59.728
  • Every area of life, little considerations,
  • 00:23:59.728 --> 00:24:02.097
  • Little courtesies, little patience, little understanding.
  • 00:24:02.097 --> 00:24:05.634
  • If we could all get that, it would help put us back in
  • 00:24:05.634 --> 00:24:08.970
  • The balance. yet it.
  • 00:24:08.970 --> 00:24:11.406
  • Look at the next one.
  • 00:24:11.907 --> 00:24:12.807
  • It gets better to be in balance.
  • 00:24:12.807 --> 00:24:15.243
  • You don't look back.
  • 00:24:15.243 --> 00:24:17.112
  • I talked to so many people that always
  • 00:24:17.112 --> 00:24:19.180
  • Tell me about yesterday.
  • 00:24:19.180 --> 00:24:21.082
  • Oh, i did this yesterday.
  • 00:24:21.082 --> 00:24:25.620
  • You know, you don't don't spend too much time on yesterday.
  • 00:24:22.784 --> 00:24:28.390
  • That's in the repertoire that i experience.
  • 00:24:28.390 --> 00:24:30.959
  • Look at now and look at tomorrow.
  • 00:24:30.959 --> 00:24:33.862
  • Look at the next day.
  • 00:24:34.362 --> 00:24:35.230
  • Don't look back.
  • 00:24:35.230 --> 00:24:36.498
  • Jesus said, any man or woman, anybody puts a hand to a plow
  • 00:24:36.498 --> 00:24:39.834
  • And looks back is not worthy of the kingdom of god.
  • 00:24:39.834 --> 00:24:42.938
  • If you look back, you can't plow straight.
  • 00:24:42.938 --> 00:24:45.307
  • You can't live straight.
  • 00:24:45.307 --> 00:24:48.376
  • We must look a hand.
  • 00:24:48.376 --> 00:24:51.379
  • That's where the action is to be.
  • 00:24:52.080 --> 00:24:55.016
  • In balance. you can't look back.
  • 00:24:55.016 --> 00:24:57.852
  • You have to look ahead.
  • 00:24:57.852 --> 00:25:00.522
  • Also to be in balance.
  • 00:25:00.989 --> 00:25:02.290
  • Look at this last one.
  • 00:25:02.290 --> 00:25:04.259
  • Well, you get it
  • 00:25:04.259 --> 00:25:06.261
  • All right.
  • 00:25:06.261 --> 00:25:07.329
  • To be in balance, you have to carry around joy.
  • 00:25:07.329 --> 00:25:09.998
  • I see people carrying around
  • 00:25:10.599 --> 00:25:12.000
  • A lot of stuff that's not joyful.
  • 00:25:12.000 --> 00:25:15.837
  • Carry around joy.
  • 00:25:16.271 --> 00:25:17.339
  • This is the day the lord has made.
  • 00:25:17.339 --> 00:25:19.808
  • Let us rejoice and be glad in it.
  • 00:25:19.808 --> 00:25:24.212
  • Your word is a lamp to my feet,
  • 00:25:24.846 --> 00:25:27.849
  • A light into my path.
  • 00:25:28.350 --> 00:25:30.719
  • Notice the promise in that verse.
  • 00:25:30.719 --> 00:25:33.154
  • A lamp for my feet i can see right here.
  • 00:25:33.154 --> 00:25:35.957
  • A light for your path.
  • 00:25:35.957 --> 00:25:37.525
  • We can see out there.
  • 00:25:37.525 --> 00:25:39.861
  • Not just inspiration.
  • 00:25:39.861 --> 00:25:41.663
  • For a moment, but guidance for a lifetime.
  • 00:25:41.663 --> 00:25:47.002
  • The christian life
  • 00:25:47.435 --> 00:25:49.471
  • Was never meant to be lived casually,
  • 00:25:49.471 --> 00:25:53.008
  • But it is a walk, a daily, intentional,
  • 00:25:53.008 --> 00:25:56.344
  • Fateful walk with the lord jesus christ.
  • 00:25:56.344 --> 00:25:59.948

  • A consistent devotional life, applying god's truth
  • 00:26:09.724 --> 00:26:14.429
  • In the practical realities of everyday living.
  • 00:26:14.429 --> 00:26:17.866
  • This isn't about religion.
  • 00:26:18.433 --> 00:26:20.535
  • It's about relationship.
  • 00:26:20.535 --> 00:26:22.470
  • It's about learning to trust god step by step
  • 00:26:22.470 --> 00:26:26.041
