The Winning Walk with Dr. Ed Young | Ed Young - Kingdom Serendipity | March 8, 2026
- If we had time, we'd go around.
- 00:00:02.081 --> 00:00:03.649
- How many people here were just doing this, involved in this?
- 00:00:03.649 --> 00:00:06.952
- And all of a sudden, bang,
- 00:00:06.952 --> 00:00:08.787
- There comes
- 00:00:08.787 --> 00:00:09.888
- Jesus and your life was changed and you had a new life
- 00:00:09.888 --> 00:00:12.191
- Just suddenly.
- 00:00:12.191 --> 00:00:13.692
- How many others?
- 00:00:13.692 --> 00:00:14.460
- Oh, i'm searching for god.
- 00:00:14.460 --> 00:00:16.328
- I want to find god. i've got to work it out.
- 00:00:16.328 --> 00:00:18.931
- Then all of a sudden, in that search, reality
- 00:00:18.931 --> 00:00:22.534
- Comes and christ comes.
- 00:00:22.534 --> 00:00:24.103
- He's like, boy, this i never expected it'd be like this.
- 00:00:24.103 --> 00:00:27.840
- Serendipity, serendipity,
- 00:00:27.840 --> 00:00:30.342
- The kingdom of serendipity.
- 00:00:30.342 --> 00:00:33.445
- Thank you for being a part
- 00:00:33.445 --> 00:00:35.114
- Of the winning walk family today.
- 00:00:35.114 --> 00:00:37.816
- I want to ask you if you ever noticed that
- 00:00:37.816 --> 00:00:40.052
- Spiritual growth doesn't just happen automatically.
- 00:00:40.052 --> 00:00:43.455
- It's intentional.
- 00:00:43.455 --> 00:00:45.357
- It's daily.
- 00:00:45.357 --> 00:00:46.658
- It's a walk.
- 00:00:46.658 --> 00:00:49.128
- Thanks for joining me.
- 00:00:49.128 --> 00:00:50.896
- Let's get started
- 00:00:50.896 --> 00:00:53.966
- On a winning walk
- 00:00:54.399 --> 00:00:56.235
- With our lord.
- 00:00:56.235 --> 00:01:16.788
- When jesus came.
- 00:01:17.189 --> 00:01:19.925
- The theme of what he was about.
- 00:01:20.559 --> 00:01:23.996
- What he brought into being.
- 00:01:24.596 --> 00:01:27.666
- What does the kingdom, the kingdom of god.
- 00:01:27.666 --> 00:01:29.868
- And in the bible?
- 00:01:29.868 --> 00:01:30.869
- The kingdom of god, the kingdom of heaven
- 00:01:30.869 --> 00:01:33.338
- In the new testament for sure is interchangeable.
- 00:01:33.338 --> 00:01:37.609
- So you read matthew, mark, luke and john.
- 00:01:38.443 --> 00:01:41.046
- You find 206 times
- 00:01:41.046 --> 00:01:44.383
- The word kingdom is used
- 00:01:44.383 --> 00:01:47.319
- 80 other times.
- 00:01:47.686 --> 00:01:50.055
- Kingdom is defined
- 00:01:50.055 --> 00:01:53.225
- And you read the sayings of
- 00:01:53.825 --> 00:01:56.328
- Jesus, the words of jesus, as we have studied them.
- 00:01:56.328 --> 00:01:59.932
- And over and over again he's saying, the kingdom has come.
- 00:01:59.932 --> 00:02:03.368
- The kingdom is at hand.
- 00:02:03.368 --> 00:02:04.903
- Repent, for the kingdom is here.
- 00:02:04.903 --> 00:02:06.905
- It's kingdom!
- 00:02:06.905 --> 00:02:08.106
- Kingdom.
- 00:02:08.106 --> 00:02:08.974
- Kingdom, kingdom.
- 00:02:08.974 --> 00:02:11.810
- And if i just walk out here
- 00:02:12.411 --> 00:02:14.046
- And ask someone,
- 00:02:14.046 --> 00:02:15.414
- If you're a christian, you'd say, oh yes, i am.
- 00:02:15.414 --> 00:02:18.016
- Well, tell me about the kingdom of god.
- 00:02:18.016 --> 00:02:21.553
- Well, you know, i don't know much.
- 00:02:22.321 --> 00:02:24.389
- I've been going to church.
- 00:02:24.389 --> 00:02:25.657
- I don't know much about teaching for god.
- 00:02:25.657 --> 00:02:30.295
- Jesus said i must be about my father's business.
- 00:02:31.296 --> 00:02:34.433
- What was his business?
- 00:02:34.433 --> 00:02:36.068
- Kingdom. business?
- 00:02:36.068 --> 00:02:37.603
- Right.
- 00:02:37.603 --> 00:02:39.638
- Thy kingdom come.
- 00:02:39.638 --> 00:02:41.340
- Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
- 00:02:41.340 --> 00:02:46.378
- The kingdom.
- 00:02:46.378 --> 00:02:49.681
- Now, i want to ask you a question.
- 00:02:49.681 --> 00:02:52.050
- Has anybody here, anybody?
- 00:02:52.050 --> 00:02:56.154
- Ever heard of
- 00:02:56.521 --> 00:02:57.723
- Jesus being called a scribe?
- 00:02:57.723 --> 00:03:00.859
- Be careful.
- 00:03:00.859 --> 00:03:02.127
- I'll call on you.
- 00:03:02.127 --> 00:03:03.395
- Anybody ever heard of that?
- 00:03:03.395 --> 00:03:05.364
- Anybody?
- 00:03:05.364 --> 00:03:08.433
- I'm a fan.
- 00:03:08.734 --> 00:03:09.334
- Anybody who said yes.
- 00:03:09.334 --> 00:03:11.637
- I think one of the reason is we have a little throwaway
- 00:03:11.637 --> 00:03:14.640
- Parable. i call it words, a parable.
- 00:03:14.640 --> 00:03:16.808
- We've got such magnificent parables.
- 00:03:16.808 --> 00:03:19.244
- And then we encounter the end of chapter
- 00:03:19.244 --> 00:03:22.381
- 13, the eighth parable of that chapter.
- 00:03:22.381 --> 00:03:25.117
- Some people can count only seven,
- 00:03:25.117 --> 00:03:27.552
- But this is the eighth parable.
- 00:03:27.552 --> 00:03:29.121
- Remember a parable can be a simile, a metaphor.
- 00:03:29.121 --> 00:03:32.858
- And it says jesus saying, the kingdom of god is like,
- 00:03:32.858 --> 00:03:36.328
- This is like this.
- 00:03:36.328 --> 00:03:40.365
- And he gives us each little pictures,
- 00:03:40.365 --> 00:03:42.567
- Bang, bang, little snapshots, so that we can remember
- 00:03:42.567 --> 00:03:46.738
- And they can remember and understand in the plainest
- 00:03:46.738 --> 00:03:49.808
- Language of what the kingdom is.
- 00:03:49.808 --> 00:03:53.679
- And this last parable, we're going to start with the first.
- 00:03:53.679 --> 00:03:56.481
- Somebody said, well, sunday our pastor started at the end.
- 00:03:56.481 --> 00:04:00.018
- That's pretty good place to start, isn't it?
- 00:04:00.018 --> 00:04:02.788
- Listen, this last parable, verse 51,
- 00:04:02.788 --> 00:04:06.191
- Have you understand all these things?
- 00:04:06.191 --> 00:04:08.360
- Jesus asked his apostles, if not the crowd, his apostles,
- 00:04:08.360 --> 00:04:12.664
- And they answer, yes, i love that.
- 00:04:12.664 --> 00:04:15.634
- They didn't understand at all the mystery of the kingdom.
- 00:04:16.802 --> 00:04:20.138
- But they added, yes, because they were saying,
- 00:04:20.138 --> 00:04:22.841
- We believe it.
- 00:04:22.841 --> 00:04:23.642
- We don't understand.
- 00:04:23.642 --> 00:04:24.676
- Oh, but we believe we know enough that we believe
- 00:04:24.676 --> 00:04:27.546
- And that jesus gives them this little parable.
- 00:04:27.546 --> 00:04:30.816
- And jesus said to them, verse 52,
- 00:04:31.550 --> 00:04:33.852
- Therefore every scribe
- 00:04:33.852 --> 00:04:36.621
- Who has become a disciple of the kingdom
- 00:04:37.456 --> 00:04:40.025
- Of heaven is like a head of a household
- 00:04:40.025 --> 00:04:43.795
- Who brings out of his treasure things new and old.
- 00:04:43.795 --> 00:04:48.333
- In other words, he said, he is saying here
- 00:04:48.333 --> 00:04:50.669
- The disciple of heaven, the disciple.
- 00:04:50.669 --> 00:04:53.138
- The kingdom is like a scribe.
- 00:04:53.138 --> 00:04:55.407
- Jesus was a scribe.
- 00:04:55.407 --> 00:04:57.376
- He was a prophet, yes,
- 00:04:57.376 --> 00:04:58.910
- But he had no official position as a prophet.
- 00:04:58.910 --> 00:05:01.413
- Not in that day.
- 00:05:01.413 --> 00:05:03.281
- Priest.
- 00:05:03.515 --> 00:05:04.549
- Yes, but he had no official capacity as a priest.
- 00:05:04.549 --> 00:05:06.885
- King.
- 00:05:07.119 --> 00:05:08.153
- Yes, but his kingdom had come, but not in the way
- 00:05:08.153 --> 00:05:10.422
- People thought it should be manifested.
- 00:05:10.422 --> 00:05:13.125
- A scribe? yes. what was a scribe?
- 00:05:13.125 --> 00:05:15.360
- A scribe was someone who.
- 00:05:15.360 --> 00:05:16.862
- Who copied the scroll, the scripture, and someone
- 00:05:16.862 --> 00:05:19.798
- Who taught the scripture.
- 00:05:19.798 --> 00:05:22.367
- Jesus saying.
- 00:05:22.367 --> 00:05:23.402
- Here at the end of his
- 00:05:23.402 --> 00:05:25.570
- Explanation of the kingdom of god,
- 00:05:25.570 --> 00:05:27.839
- He is saying that i am the scribe implied,
- 00:05:27.839 --> 00:05:31.476
- And you are to be a scribe because you're a disciple of
- 00:05:31.476 --> 00:05:35.046
- The kingdom, and the kingdom is like a scribe
- 00:05:35.046 --> 00:05:38.183
- Who is the head of a household
- 00:05:38.183 --> 00:05:41.520
- And in charge of explaining and teaching
- 00:05:41.520 --> 00:05:44.556
- The family of faith about the old.
- 00:05:44.556 --> 00:05:47.893
- The old covenant, about the new covenant.
- 00:05:47.893 --> 00:05:51.029
- He's saying, you're taking my place as a scribe,
- 00:05:51.029 --> 00:05:55.200
- As a teacher.
- 00:05:55.567 --> 00:05:57.769
- Now we have looked at these little parables
- 00:05:57.769 --> 00:06:00.705
- That he has given to us, and these parables, two of them
- 00:06:00.705 --> 00:06:04.910
- Tell us how to get in the kingdom.
- 00:06:05.644 --> 00:06:08.680
- We can know about the kingdom.
- 00:06:08.680 --> 00:06:10.115
- We can describe the kingdom.
- 00:06:10.115 --> 00:06:11.416
- We say jesus is a kingdom.
- 00:06:11.416 --> 00:06:13.251
- We can pray for the kingdom of god.
- 00:06:13.251 --> 00:06:15.220
- But we better discovered how to become kids of the kingdom.
- 00:06:15.220 --> 00:06:18.390
- Sons and daughters in the kingdom.
- 00:06:18.390 --> 00:06:20.592
- So these two parables tell us exactly how that takes place.
- 00:06:20.592 --> 00:06:25.764
- I like the word serendipity.
- 00:06:26.364 --> 00:06:30.068
- You know, all i it sort of just rolls off your tongue.
- 00:06:30.068 --> 00:06:33.338
- Serendipity is a great little word.
- 00:06:33.338 --> 00:06:37.108
- The etymology of the word is very interesting to me.
- 00:06:37.108 --> 00:06:40.378
- It was a persian fairy tale,
- 00:06:40.378 --> 00:06:43.982
- Translated into french, translated english.
- 00:06:43.982 --> 00:06:47.018
- It's the story of the three princes
- 00:06:47.018 --> 00:06:49.788
- Of serendipity, a fictitious kingdom.
- 00:06:49.788 --> 00:06:53.258
- And they would travel looking for things,
- 00:06:53.258 --> 00:06:55.694
- And they inevitably found things that were greater
- 00:06:55.694 --> 00:06:58.763
- Value than that which they were looking for.
- 00:06:58.763 --> 00:07:01.500
- Do you get that?
- 00:07:01.500 --> 00:07:02.634
- You're looking for one thing of value,
- 00:07:02.634 --> 00:07:04.302
- And they found something infinitely more valuable
- 00:07:04.302 --> 00:07:06.872
- Every time they went out on a trip.
- 00:07:06.872 --> 00:07:09.541
- So there we have the word.
- 00:07:09.541 --> 00:07:11.343
- Sir horace walpole coined it.
- 00:07:11.343 --> 00:07:13.979
- And serendipity used to be in the unabridged dictionary,
- 00:07:13.979 --> 00:07:17.349
- And now it's in our dictionary. serendipity.
- 00:07:17.349 --> 00:07:20.018
- When you're going in this direction looking for something
- 00:07:20.018 --> 00:07:22.487
- You found, something you didn't expect to find,
- 00:07:22.487 --> 00:07:25.056
- And it's more valuable than that.
- 00:07:25.056 --> 00:07:26.591
- What you were looking for.
- 00:07:26.591 --> 00:07:27.926
- It is a serendipity.
- 00:07:27.926 --> 00:07:30.161
- And when you start looking for serendipity,
- 00:07:30.161 --> 00:07:32.464
- Is there everywhere to be found?
- 00:07:32.464 --> 00:07:35.433
- I sort of story that comes down to the young family history.
- 00:07:35.433 --> 00:07:38.970
- My dad was one of 11 people brought up
- 00:07:38.970 --> 00:07:41.806
- On a farm outside of craig for an alabama.
- 00:07:41.806 --> 00:07:45.610
- And, when you got 11 kids
- 00:07:46.177 --> 00:07:48.179
- At something and they had cattle,
- 00:07:48.179 --> 00:07:49.748
- And my dad worked in the cattle all the time
- 00:07:49.748 --> 00:07:52.284
- When he was a young teenage boy,
- 00:07:52.284 --> 00:07:53.985
- The cattle begin to get sick,
- 00:07:53.985 --> 00:07:55.787
- And they didn't know where the cattle had rabies.
- 00:07:55.787 --> 00:07:58.089
- They would foam at the mouth
- 00:07:58.089 --> 00:08:00.025
- Or whether they had mad cow disease.
- 00:08:00.025 --> 00:08:02.260
- But my dad would bury 2 or 3, and it was spreading
- 00:08:02.260 --> 00:08:05.163
- Through the herd.
- 00:08:05.163 --> 00:08:06.398
- And and the family was worried that homer may contract this,
- 00:08:06.398 --> 00:08:10.569
- This disease and, and may, get mad
- 00:08:10.569 --> 00:08:13.438
- Cow disease or become a victim of rabies himself.
- 00:08:13.438 --> 00:08:17.042
- So they started to watch him
- 00:08:17.042 --> 00:08:19.411
- And dad said everybody just kind of looked at him
- 00:08:19.411 --> 00:08:21.479
- Suspiciously, and he said it got the rash him a little bit.
- 00:08:21.479 --> 00:08:25.650
- He said one morning he got up and all the family
- 00:08:25.650 --> 00:08:27.953
- And some other kids would come in
- 00:08:27.953 --> 00:08:29.721
- And they were all
- 00:08:29.721 --> 00:08:30.255
- That big house, that
- 00:08:30.255 --> 00:08:31.456
- Big family, and said he went in and got his dad's shaving
- 00:08:31.456 --> 00:08:34.960
- Lotion put all around his mouth,
- 00:08:34.960 --> 00:08:38.063
- And he said,
- 00:08:38.396 --> 00:08:39.030
- I just scuffed up my hair.
- 00:08:39.030 --> 00:08:41.600
- And he said, i just leaned around the corner and said,
- 00:08:41.600 --> 00:08:45.503
- Mom. he said,
- 00:08:45.870 --> 00:08:50.108
- You should have seen him scatter around.
- 00:08:50.108 --> 00:08:53.011
- I think about that when i see that,
- 00:08:53.778 --> 00:08:56.781
- The vaccine
- 00:08:56.781 --> 00:08:59.451
- To prevent smallpox
- 00:08:59.451 --> 00:09:01.286
- Was a serendipity.
- 00:09:01.286 --> 00:09:04.189
- When i was,
- 00:09:04.522 --> 00:09:06.558
- I guess, a junior in high school,
- 00:09:06.558 --> 00:09:08.426
- I was working in a department store in our little town,
- 00:09:08.426 --> 00:09:12.197
- And i would go and eat lunch
- 00:09:12.197 --> 00:09:13.765
- At this place, get a cheeseburger every day.
- 00:09:13.765 --> 00:09:16.167
- And, and my mother said, you know, down at our church
- 00:09:16.167 --> 00:09:20.271
- Is starting a new royal
- 00:09:20.271 --> 00:09:21.673
- Ambassador organization for older teenagers.
- 00:09:21.673 --> 00:09:25.310
- And they going to serve lunch down there.
- 00:09:25.310 --> 00:09:27.012
- Why don't you
- 00:09:27.012 --> 00:09:28.113
- Just walk to church, which is a very short distance,
- 00:09:28.113 --> 00:09:31.149
- And eat lunch there and see what they're going to do?
- 00:09:31.149 --> 00:09:34.319
- And that's your organization?
- 00:09:34.319 --> 00:09:35.654
- And i said, goodness, churches for sundays.
- 00:09:35.654 --> 00:09:38.790
- It's not for them the week.
- 00:09:38.790 --> 00:09:40.525
- Oh my goodness, what are you doing to me.
- 00:09:40.525 --> 00:09:42.627
- And and but she said you know,
- 00:09:42.627 --> 00:09:44.462
- They're going to cook hot rolls.
- 00:09:44.462 --> 00:09:46.064
- And we had a cook in our kitchen
- 00:09:46.064 --> 00:09:48.500
- That could make hot rolls like you wouldn't believe in.
- 00:09:48.500 --> 00:09:50.735
- So i said hot rolls, cheeseburgers.
- 00:09:50.735 --> 00:09:53.071
- And so, so i got through it lunch and went down to church.
- 00:09:53.071 --> 00:09:56.408
- Was sitting there at the table and and they came around
- 00:09:56.408 --> 00:10:00.378
- And the person serving hot rolls was,
- 00:10:00.378 --> 00:10:03.515
- Brunet big brown eyes, freckles.
- 00:10:03.515 --> 00:10:06.685
- And she somebody i had known all my life.
- 00:10:06.685 --> 00:10:09.554
- But she was a year younger, and i was, you know, a child
- 00:10:09.554 --> 00:10:12.390
- And and
- 00:10:12.390 --> 00:10:13.591
- But she serve these rolls and she looked at me in the way
- 00:10:13.591 --> 00:10:16.628
- She'd never looked at me before.
- 00:10:16.628 --> 00:10:18.096
- And i looked at her in a way i'd never looked at her before.
- 00:10:18.096 --> 00:10:21.132
- And and two days later, i asked her for a date and,
- 00:10:21.132 --> 00:10:25.203
- Joe best, she's a serendipity.
- 00:10:25.804 --> 00:10:28.406
- I mean, i was looking for hot rolls,
- 00:10:28.406 --> 00:10:33.278
- And you look for one thing of value.
- 00:10:34.045 --> 00:10:36.514
- You find something of greater value.
- 00:10:36.514 --> 00:10:41.486
- A child takes
- 00:10:41.853 --> 00:10:42.754
- Their first step unsteady.
- 00:10:42.754 --> 00:10:45.690
- Unsure.
- 00:10:45.924 --> 00:10:47.525
- Reaching for a father's hand.
- 00:10:47.525 --> 00:10:49.794
- No one is born knowing how to walk.
- 00:10:49.794 --> 00:10:52.163
- It takes training, strength.
- 00:10:52.163 --> 00:10:54.566
- Balance. time.
- 00:10:54.566 --> 00:10:57.001
- Walking with god is no different.
- 00:10:57.001 --> 00:10:59.904
- Like all journeys, walking the winning
- 00:10:59.904 --> 00:11:01.840
- Walk requires the proper equipment and preparation.
- 00:11:01.840 --> 00:11:05.510
- By outfitting our lives with the word of god,
- 00:11:05.510 --> 00:11:08.113
- We will be able to follow where the master leads.
- 00:11:08.113 --> 00:11:11.816
- Psalm 119 says, your word is a lamp
- 00:11:11.816 --> 00:11:16.521
- Unto my feet and a light under my path.
- 00:11:16.521 --> 00:11:19.657
- God doesn't rush the journey.
- 00:11:19.657 --> 00:11:22.093
- He lights the next step in the winning walk.
- 00:11:22.093 --> 00:11:25.830

- They're serendipity.
- 00:11:53.324 --> 00:11:55.360
- Look at verse 44.
- 00:11:55.360 --> 00:11:56.427
- The kingdom of heaven is like a treasure
- 00:11:56.427 --> 00:11:59.464
- Hidden in the field, which a man found
- 00:11:59.464 --> 00:12:02.233
- And hid again, and from joy over it
- 00:12:02.967 --> 00:12:06.371
- He goes and sells all that he has and buys that field.
- 00:12:06.371 --> 00:12:10.809
- Here he is plowing, doing
- 00:12:10.809 --> 00:12:13.778
- Ordinary day's work, plowing, plowing.
- 00:12:13.778 --> 00:12:16.581
- And he goes a little deeper than usual.
- 00:12:16.581 --> 00:12:18.883
- And bam!
- 00:12:18.883 --> 00:12:20.952
- He hits something. he stops.
- 00:12:20.952 --> 00:12:23.154
- He thinks it's a rock or stone and it's a little treasure
- 00:12:23.154 --> 00:12:26.391
- Chest. he opens it gold.
- 00:12:26.391 --> 00:12:29.294
- Oh, man, you say, well, that's a crazy story.
- 00:12:29.294 --> 00:12:31.863
- I know it happened in israel.
- 00:12:31.863 --> 00:12:33.364
- That word of the way there had banks
- 00:12:33.364 --> 00:12:35.633
- They buried in the ground,
- 00:12:35.633 --> 00:12:37.468
- And they had a law of finders keepers,
- 00:12:37.468 --> 00:12:39.370
- Because a person who owns the field
- 00:12:39.370 --> 00:12:41.105
- Didn't know the treasure is there.
- 00:12:41.105 --> 00:12:42.674
- It may have been several hundred years old.
- 00:12:42.674 --> 00:12:45.276
- And so the law was finders keepers.
- 00:12:46.010 --> 00:12:48.646
- You found some. you could take it.
- 00:12:48.646 --> 00:12:50.081
- But this man went out and order to make sure
- 00:12:50.081 --> 00:12:53.785
- Inside the law that day
- 00:12:54.285 --> 00:12:57.055
- He bought the field.
- 00:12:57.055 --> 00:12:59.624
- To buy the field he had to sell everything he had.
- 00:12:59.624 --> 00:13:02.794
- He was a poor man.
- 00:13:02.794 --> 00:13:04.662
- Told his wife, men sell all that.
- 00:13:04.662 --> 00:13:06.698
- Sell everything.
- 00:13:06.698 --> 00:13:07.899
- Sell, sell, sell your clothes, sell, sell whatever you can.
- 00:13:07.899 --> 00:13:10.602
- Sell them. get your hand off.
- 00:13:10.602 --> 00:13:11.769
- Sell all the little animals where you sell everything.
- 00:13:11.769 --> 00:13:14.973
- And he did.
- 00:13:15.306 --> 00:13:17.442
- In order to buy the field.
- 00:13:17.442 --> 00:13:18.910
- He had the treasure.
- 00:13:18.910 --> 00:13:19.944
- Now he had great wealth, great riches.
- 00:13:19.944 --> 00:13:24.048
- You know this treasure.
- 00:13:24.549 --> 00:13:25.984
- The kingdom of god.
- 00:13:25.984 --> 00:13:28.019
- When we're plowing through life and we find the
- 00:13:28.019 --> 00:13:30.555
- Kingdom of god, and christ comes inside of you,
- 00:13:30.555 --> 00:13:33.558
- We begin to live as a kingdom citizen.
- 00:13:33.558 --> 00:13:36.327
- Amazing byproducts happen.
- 00:13:36.327 --> 00:13:38.296
- Serendipity is all around us.
- 00:13:38.296 --> 00:13:40.498
- Look at the apostle paul, man.
- 00:13:40.498 --> 00:13:42.834
- Paul takes the gospel to europe.
- 00:13:42.834 --> 00:13:45.570
- He crosses that little place of water and goes into europe.
- 00:13:45.570 --> 00:13:49.407
- He didn't have a clue of what was going to happen
- 00:13:49.407 --> 00:13:52.744
- As a result of that.
- 00:13:52.744 --> 00:13:53.945
- Write it down, he went there to introduce people to christ.
- 00:13:53.945 --> 00:13:57.482
- The son of god has come.
- 00:13:57.482 --> 00:13:59.050
- He didn't go there to revamp the roman culture,
- 00:13:59.050 --> 00:14:02.887
- To bring down the emperor's
- 00:14:03.488 --> 00:14:05.356
- To change lives wholesale, and to move
- 00:14:06.190 --> 00:14:09.193
- All the way through europe and all the way into america.
- 00:14:09.193 --> 00:14:12.697
- He didn't see all of that.
- 00:14:12.697 --> 00:14:14.299
- It was a serendipity.
- 00:14:14.299 --> 00:14:15.934
- Listen,
- 00:14:15.934 --> 00:14:17.101
- When we're living as kingdom citizens through our life,
- 00:14:17.101 --> 00:14:19.671
- There's all kind of little residual byproduct things.
- 00:14:19.671 --> 00:14:23.341
- In fact, seek first the kingdom of god and his righteousness.
- 00:14:23.341 --> 00:14:28.513
- And then all these serendipity is really added to you.
- 00:14:28.513 --> 00:14:31.849
- Kingdom serendipity.
- 00:14:31.849 --> 00:14:33.451
- That's how kingdom people operate.
- 00:14:33.451 --> 00:14:36.921
- So we see the kingdom of god is like a treasure ball.
- 00:14:36.921 --> 00:14:41.392
- The word treasure. we light up.
- 00:14:41.392 --> 00:14:44.662
- That the kingdom is like a treasure.
- 00:14:44.662 --> 00:14:47.865
- You give up everything to get.
- 00:14:47.865 --> 00:14:49.767
- Then he says another picture of the kingdom.
- 00:14:49.767 --> 00:14:52.770
- He says, verse 46,
- 00:14:52.770 --> 00:14:54.973
- And the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant seeking
- 00:14:54.973 --> 00:14:57.342
- Find pearls and a bun, finding one pearl
- 00:14:57.342 --> 00:15:00.445
- That's the pearl of great value, great price.
- 00:15:00.445 --> 00:15:03.247
- He went and sold all that he had and bought it.
- 00:15:03.247 --> 00:15:06.317
- The guy plowing,
- 00:15:06.317 --> 00:15:08.953
- Man. he
- 00:15:09.187 --> 00:15:09.887
- Found the treasure, you know.
- 00:15:09.887 --> 00:15:12.390
- Surprise!
- 00:15:12.390 --> 00:15:13.791
- He wasn't looking for treasure.
- 00:15:13.791 --> 00:15:15.560
- The guy with the pearl.
- 00:15:15.560 --> 00:15:17.595
- He traded in pearls.
- 00:15:17.595 --> 00:15:18.830
- Never thought he'd find a pearl
- 00:15:18.830 --> 00:15:20.465
- That was beautiful and perfect.
- 00:15:20.465 --> 00:15:21.833
- That was worth all the other pearls. man.
- 00:15:21.833 --> 00:15:24.469
- He was searching.
- 00:15:24.469 --> 00:15:26.704
- Surprise a search.
- 00:15:26.704 --> 00:15:28.973
- They found the kingdom of god.
- 00:15:28.973 --> 00:15:30.775
- It comes like that.
- 00:15:30.775 --> 00:15:32.610
- If we had time, we'd go around.
- 00:15:32.610 --> 00:15:34.178
- How many people here were just doing this, involved in this?
- 00:15:34.178 --> 00:15:37.482
- And all of a sudden, bang,
- 00:15:37.482 --> 00:15:39.317
- There comes
- 00:15:39.317 --> 00:15:40.418
- Jesus and your life was changed and you had a new life
- 00:15:40.418 --> 00:15:42.720
- Just suddenly.
- 00:15:42.720 --> 00:15:44.222
- How many others?
- 00:15:44.222 --> 00:15:44.989
- Oh, i'm searching for god.
- 00:15:44.989 --> 00:15:46.858
- I want to find god. i've got to work it out.
- 00:15:46.858 --> 00:15:49.460
- Then all of a sudden, in that search, reality
- 00:15:49.460 --> 00:15:53.064
- Comes and christ comes.
- 00:15:53.064 --> 00:15:54.632
- He's like, boy, this i never expected it'd be like this.
- 00:15:54.632 --> 00:15:58.369
- Serendipity, serendipity, the kingdom of serendipity.
- 00:15:58.369 --> 00:16:03.107
- Look at one thing about you.
- 00:16:03.708 --> 00:16:05.176
- What do they have in common?
- 00:16:05.176 --> 00:16:07.178
- One was probably rich, the pearl merchant.
- 00:16:07.178 --> 00:16:09.881
- One was poor. the one plowing.
- 00:16:09.881 --> 00:16:11.849
- Both of them got the kingdom of god.
- 00:16:11.849 --> 00:16:13.885
- They received christ.
- 00:16:13.885 --> 00:16:15.420
- That's the picture here.
- 00:16:15.420 --> 00:16:16.888
- What was the requirements to get in the kingdom?
- 00:16:16.888 --> 00:16:20.391
- They just had to sell everything.
- 00:16:21.159 --> 00:16:24.462
- If you want new life, you have to give up
- 00:16:25.363 --> 00:16:27.632
- All your old life.
- 00:16:27.632 --> 00:16:29.901
- All of it. yep.
- 00:16:29.901 --> 00:16:31.936
- Every bit of it.
- 00:16:31.936 --> 00:16:34.338
- What does that mean?
- 00:16:34.338 --> 00:16:35.440
- Well, it may mean you have to change jobs.
- 00:16:35.440 --> 00:16:38.209
- Oh, wait a minute.
- 00:16:38.209 --> 00:16:39.777
- If your job is not enhancing the world
- 00:16:39.777 --> 00:16:42.914
- And it is a job or a vocation that's destroying
- 00:16:42.914 --> 00:16:46.217
- And bringing down the world, you're not rightly employed
- 00:16:46.217 --> 00:16:50.521
- When you're a kingdom son or a kingdom daughter.
- 00:16:50.521 --> 00:16:53.524
- It may mean you give up.
- 00:16:54.058 --> 00:16:55.460
- I don't know what it might be.
- 00:16:55.460 --> 00:16:57.528
- You will know.
- 00:16:57.528 --> 00:16:58.362
- God will let you know what that is.
- 00:16:58.362 --> 00:16:59.931
- It just calls to everything.
- 00:16:59.931 --> 00:17:02.767
- It calls everything to be a kingdom system.
- 00:17:02.767 --> 00:17:05.369
- You say, boy, that sure is expensive.
- 00:17:05.369 --> 00:17:07.438
- Check with me a couple of hundred years now.
- 00:17:07.438 --> 00:17:09.307
- Say about it and i say say yeah.
- 00:17:09.307 --> 00:17:11.442
- Oh, i'm going to do all this.
- 00:17:11.442 --> 00:17:12.710
- I'm going to live my life now.
- 00:17:12.710 --> 00:17:14.245
- But tell you something that's awful temporary.
- 00:17:14.245 --> 00:17:17.515
- What?
- 00:17:17.748 --> 00:17:18.583
- I want to leave sunday with my kids.
- 00:17:18.583 --> 00:17:19.750
- Well, just run them.
- 00:17:19.750 --> 00:17:22.086
- Spoil them, man.
- 00:17:22.086 --> 00:17:24.455
- What do you say, lord?
- 00:17:24.455 --> 00:17:25.656
- I give you everything i have and everything i'll ever be.
- 00:17:25.656 --> 00:17:28.526
- You'll be amazed what will happen.
- 00:17:28.526 --> 00:17:31.262
- He becomes your treasure.
- 00:17:31.262 --> 00:17:32.563
- And then treasure is in ways we can't even dream of.
- 00:17:32.563 --> 00:17:36.434
- They come in serendipity.
- 00:17:36.434 --> 00:17:38.669
- They come in in packages, they come in little deals, and
- 00:17:38.669 --> 00:17:42.273
- All of a sudden they're just overflowing our lives.
- 00:17:42.273 --> 00:17:45.810
- That's the way it is with kingdom kids.
- 00:17:45.810 --> 00:17:48.579
- They gave up everything.
- 00:17:49.113 --> 00:17:51.382
- These two guys in our scripture,
- 00:17:51.382 --> 00:17:54.318
- The farmer and the pearl merchant,
- 00:17:54.318 --> 00:17:56.087
- They sold everything they had
- 00:17:56.087 --> 00:17:59.857
- On the basis of reality.
- 00:17:59.857 --> 00:18:03.227
- You had the idea, lord, i'm going to take my chance.
- 00:18:03.227 --> 00:18:06.497
- You know, i've got a special deal with god.
- 00:18:06.497 --> 00:18:09.367
- I love the people who say that.
- 00:18:09.367 --> 00:18:12.136
- Hello.
- 00:18:12.336 --> 00:18:15.306
- God almighty
- 00:18:15.306 --> 00:18:16.707
- Does not cut any special deals.
- 00:18:16.707 --> 00:18:19.744
- His deal is spelled out real clear right here.
- 00:18:19.744 --> 00:18:22.680
- And play.
- 00:18:22.680 --> 00:18:23.347
- Don't take off in the marsh.
- 00:18:23.347 --> 00:18:27.652
- Or i'm going to take my chance on this religion
- 00:18:28.586 --> 00:18:32.390
- That sounds so intellectual, and it's filled with erudition
- 00:18:32.390 --> 00:18:35.693
- And insight.
- 00:18:35.693 --> 00:18:36.494
- It is so mystical.
- 00:18:36.494 --> 00:18:37.995
- I'm going to go with that one and just
- 00:18:37.995 --> 00:18:40.898
- Not founded in history and truth.
- 00:18:41.599 --> 00:18:43.701
- Verifiable. what?
- 00:18:43.701 --> 00:18:45.069
- What?
- 00:18:45.069 --> 00:18:45.970
- Hello?
- 00:18:45.970 --> 00:18:49.640
- Or i'm going to be good enough for,
- 00:18:50.408 --> 00:18:52.910
- Let me tell you something, folks.
- 00:18:52.910 --> 00:18:56.948
- It's worth
- 00:18:57.248 --> 00:18:59.584
- Giving everything.
- 00:18:59.584 --> 00:19:02.587
- In order to get everything in his kingdom
- 00:19:02.587 --> 00:19:05.990
- And to be a kingdom kid,
- 00:19:06.524 --> 00:19:09.427
- Thy kingdom come, thy will be done.
- 00:19:09.427 --> 00:19:12.563
- Earth in heaven, meet.
- 00:19:13.030 --> 00:19:15.499
- How magnificent that is.
- 00:19:15.499 --> 00:19:18.135
- Now there's another parable in here.
- 00:19:18.135 --> 00:19:21.138
- It would be our eighth parable.
- 00:19:21.138 --> 00:19:22.974
- Next. the last one.
- 00:19:22.974 --> 00:19:24.875
- And it's a devastating parable.
- 00:19:24.875 --> 00:19:26.310
- It's almost a revamping, a restating
- 00:19:26.310 --> 00:19:30.014
- Of the the weeds and the wheat.
- 00:19:30.648 --> 00:19:34.051
- Look at it,
- 00:19:34.051 --> 00:19:35.953
- Verse 47 again, the kingdom of god,
- 00:19:35.953 --> 00:19:38.522
- The kingdom of heaven
- 00:19:38.522 --> 00:19:39.490
- Is like a dragnet in the sea and gathering
- 00:19:39.490 --> 00:19:42.560
- Fish of every kind.
- 00:19:42.560 --> 00:19:44.095
- And when it was filled, they drew it up to the beach,
- 00:19:44.095 --> 00:19:47.331
- And they sat down and gathered the good fish into containers.
- 00:19:47.331 --> 00:19:51.335
- But the bad and the bad fish they threw away.
- 00:19:51.335 --> 00:19:55.106
- So it will be at the end of the age judgment.
- 00:19:55.106 --> 00:19:58.776
- The angels will come forth and take out the wicked
- 00:19:58.776 --> 00:20:01.445
- From among the righteous,
- 00:20:01.445 --> 00:20:02.913
- And will throw them into the furnace of fire.
- 00:20:02.913 --> 00:20:05.650
- In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
- 00:20:05.650 --> 00:20:08.919
- So the jews had no problem.
- 00:20:08.919 --> 00:20:10.621
- When they take that dragnet.
- 00:20:10.621 --> 00:20:12.189
- They fish like that. for years the sea of galilee.
- 00:20:12.189 --> 00:20:14.492
- They changed their method.
- 00:20:14.492 --> 00:20:15.526
- By the way,
- 00:20:15.526 --> 00:20:16.594
- I've seen fishing like that in the sea of galilee.
- 00:20:16.594 --> 00:20:19.297
- Now they do it a different way.
- 00:20:19.297 --> 00:20:20.431
- They take those drag nets and they drag them.
- 00:20:20.431 --> 00:20:22.667
- Soon they go and they go and they would keep the good fish.
- 00:20:22.667 --> 00:20:25.369
- You know how the jews decided what was good and bad?
- 00:20:25.369 --> 00:20:28.372
- If you had gills and you had fins, good fish, all the rest.
- 00:20:28.372 --> 00:20:32.076
- Throwaway trash fish
- 00:20:32.076 --> 00:20:33.344
- They threw away died, throw it on the ground.
- 00:20:33.344 --> 00:20:36.881
- There will be a time in which all the division will be
- 00:20:36.881 --> 00:20:40.851
- Is the word.
- 00:20:40.851 --> 00:20:41.452
- Judgment means to divide
- 00:20:41.452 --> 00:20:45.156
- The sheep and the goat.
- 00:20:45.656 --> 00:20:46.791
- Good fish, the bad fish, the wheat and the tares.
- 00:20:46.791 --> 00:20:50.094
- There will come a day
- 00:20:50.094 --> 00:20:52.430
- When the siege will be made, and that which is real
- 00:20:52.430 --> 00:20:55.099
- Will be decided upon.
- 00:20:55.099 --> 00:20:56.434
- That which was phony will be thrown out.
- 00:20:56.434 --> 00:20:59.303
- In the meantime, the kingdom is here.
- 00:21:00.104 --> 00:21:02.606
- In the meantime, we need to make sure where kingdom sits.
- 00:21:02.606 --> 00:21:06.577
- There's no neutral ground here.
- 00:21:06.577 --> 00:21:08.145
- It's not like, well, i'm in the kingdom.
- 00:21:08.145 --> 00:21:10.147
- I'm out of the kingdom.
- 00:21:10.147 --> 00:21:11.282
- I got a little bit of this and a little bit of that.
- 00:21:11.282 --> 00:21:14.051
- I want both bases covered.
- 00:21:14.051 --> 00:21:16.387
- Listen, we're in the world, make no mistake about it.
- 00:21:16.387 --> 00:21:19.924
- But kingdom kids are not of the world.
- 00:21:19.924 --> 00:21:22.593
- And the world's
- 00:21:22.593 --> 00:21:23.728
- Agenda cannot be your agenda and cannot be my agenda.
- 00:21:23.728 --> 00:21:28.532
- So what's the result of this?
- 00:21:29.166 --> 00:21:34.138
- How do i know if i'm in the kingdom?
- 00:21:34.905 --> 00:21:37.608
- I'll tell you.
- 00:21:37.608 --> 00:21:38.609
- If we're in the kingdom, there's a transition
- 00:21:38.609 --> 00:21:41.145
- That takes place in a life,
- 00:21:41.145 --> 00:21:44.248
- A transition.
- 00:21:44.615 --> 00:21:46.584
- You say i do a lot of things because of my duty.
- 00:21:46.584 --> 00:21:50.321
- I don't do a lot of things because of the duty.
- 00:21:51.288 --> 00:21:54.091
- I feel
- 00:21:54.091 --> 00:21:56.394
- When you move from living the christian life out of duty
- 00:21:56.394 --> 00:22:00.131
- To living the christian life out of desire, and your passion
- 00:22:00.131 --> 00:22:03.934
- At that moment, you understand the transition.
- 00:22:03.934 --> 00:22:07.071
- Oh, i don't do this, and i do this
- 00:22:07.071 --> 00:22:09.173
- Because i'm a christian.
- 00:22:09.173 --> 00:22:10.674
- If you move out of that and suddenly i don't do this
- 00:22:10.674 --> 00:22:13.811
- And i do this,
- 00:22:13.811 --> 00:22:14.712
- And i live this because i am a christian
- 00:22:14.712 --> 00:22:16.781
- And it's the passion of my life.
- 00:22:16.781 --> 00:22:18.616
- You see, the whole inside has changed.
- 00:22:18.616 --> 00:22:21.452
- The whole motivation has changed.
- 00:22:21.452 --> 00:22:23.687
- The whole life has changed.
- 00:22:23.687 --> 00:22:25.322
- We are kingdom folks
- 00:22:25.322 --> 00:22:27.258
- And it's a gradual process.
- 00:22:27.858 --> 00:22:29.593
- It's a growing up.
- 00:22:29.593 --> 00:22:30.728
- It's for it's maturing in the process.
- 00:22:30.728 --> 00:22:33.564
- It's a beautiful thing.
- 00:22:33.564 --> 00:22:34.632
- And the result is,
- 00:22:34.632 --> 00:22:37.435
- I think, the greatest
- 00:22:37.435 --> 00:22:39.136
- Descriptive word in the bible for christianity,
- 00:22:39.136 --> 00:22:42.673
- Of course, is love, rightly interpreted and understood.
- 00:22:42.673 --> 00:22:46.410
- But the next one is joy.
- 00:22:46.944 --> 00:22:48.979
- It's my favorite word,
- 00:22:48.979 --> 00:22:50.848
- The fruit of the spirit love, joy, peace.
- 00:22:50.848 --> 00:22:52.516
- Joy is number two, right?
- 00:22:52.516 --> 00:22:54.785
- Joy, independent of all, circumvented joy.
- 00:22:54.785 --> 00:22:58.656
- And by the way, in the 44th verse here of our study,
- 00:22:58.656 --> 00:23:02.293
- It said they sold out everything
- 00:23:02.293 --> 00:23:05.863
- For the joy,
- 00:23:06.197 --> 00:23:08.566
- Joy, joy,
- 00:23:08.566 --> 00:23:10.367
- Joy is a tremendous little acrostic, by the way. joy.
- 00:23:10.367 --> 00:23:13.737
- Jesus
- 00:23:13.971 --> 00:23:15.873
- Total everything for jesus. joy.
- 00:23:15.873 --> 00:23:18.909
- Jesus sold everything
- 00:23:19.410 --> 00:23:21.479
- For all others, not just i mean mine.
- 00:23:21.479 --> 00:23:24.715
- Minor. we're kingdom folks.
- 00:23:24.715 --> 00:23:26.684
- It's beyond time beyond, but it's others.
- 00:23:26.684 --> 00:23:30.454
- And the why is yourself.
- 00:23:30.988 --> 00:23:33.524
- You see, when we're kingdom folks, guess what?
- 00:23:33.524 --> 00:23:35.960
- What's the result of this?
- 00:23:35.960 --> 00:23:37.528
- Well, what's what's in it for me?
- 00:23:37.528 --> 00:23:39.363
- You don't go with it with that motivation, but a byproduct,
- 00:23:39.363 --> 00:23:42.733
- The serendipity.
- 00:23:42.733 --> 00:23:43.701
- What's in it for you and me all of a sudden?
- 00:23:43.701 --> 00:23:45.970
- In jesus, we got a right relationship with god.
- 00:23:45.970 --> 00:23:49.373
- Is that beautiful?
- 00:23:49.807 --> 00:23:51.542
- I mean, to have a right relationship
- 00:23:51.542 --> 00:23:53.978
- With the almighty boy
- 00:23:53.978 --> 00:23:57.882
- Through jesus christ?
- 00:23:58.382 --> 00:23:59.450
- Joy j.
- 00:23:59.450 --> 00:24:00.618
- That's what we have.
- 00:24:00.618 --> 00:24:03.654
- And right relationship with others.
- 00:24:03.654 --> 00:24:05.122
- That's the oh, any great look anybody in the face
- 00:24:05.122 --> 00:24:07.825
- On the face of planet and you don't have anything
- 00:24:07.825 --> 00:24:10.394
- Have to worry about or concerned about
- 00:24:10.394 --> 00:24:12.663
- Because you've done everything you can
- 00:24:12.663 --> 00:24:14.665
- To make that relationship as fine as whole as fuel.
- 00:24:14.665 --> 00:24:17.735
- You settle everything.
- 00:24:17.735 --> 00:24:18.836
- You possibly have a right relationship with others.
- 00:24:18.836 --> 00:24:21.071
- Is that freeing up?
- 00:24:21.071 --> 00:24:24.542
- Have a right
- 00:24:24.875 --> 00:24:25.543
- Relationship with yourself.
- 00:24:25.543 --> 00:24:28.178
- A lot of people have to have racket going around.
- 00:24:28.178 --> 00:24:30.881
- They have to be doing something because they want them,
- 00:24:30.881 --> 00:24:33.884
- Don't want to be with themselves.
- 00:24:33.884 --> 00:24:36.921
- Because when you're with yourself,
- 00:24:36.921 --> 00:24:38.689
- It's somebody you don't like.
- 00:24:38.689 --> 00:24:41.592
- When you're by yourself, in somebody
- 00:24:41.592 --> 00:24:43.427
- You really don't want to be with.
- 00:24:43.427 --> 00:24:46.096
- When you're by yourself, you have to think
- 00:24:46.096 --> 00:24:48.198
- And look and analyzed, oh, i better get some going here.
- 00:24:48.198 --> 00:24:51.535
- You see, when you have a right relationship with god
- 00:24:51.535 --> 00:24:53.904
- Through jesus christ and a right
- 00:24:53.904 --> 00:24:55.639
- Relationship in others, guess what?
- 00:24:55.639 --> 00:24:57.408
- You have a right relationship with yourself.
- 00:24:57.408 --> 00:25:01.111
- That's beautiful.
- 00:25:01.545 --> 00:25:04.515
- When you by yourself,
- 00:25:04.515 --> 00:25:05.749
- Are you with somebody you like to be with?
- 00:25:05.749 --> 00:25:08.485
- It's sad.
- 00:25:08.485 --> 00:25:09.086
- If you're not.
- 00:25:09.086 --> 00:25:12.156
- You see a kingdom kid.
- 00:25:12.623 --> 00:25:15.192
- A kingdom citizen has his joy.
- 00:25:15.192 --> 00:25:19.196
- Joy? well,
- 00:25:19.496 --> 00:25:22.466
- A purpose is simply that.
- 00:25:23.033 --> 00:25:26.503
- Anybody who's not sure
- 00:25:26.971 --> 00:25:28.706
- Their kingdom, son or daughter,
- 00:25:28.706 --> 00:25:31.809
- You'll make sure
- 00:25:32.209 --> 00:25:34.745
- Anybody who's trying to work both sides,
- 00:25:34.745 --> 00:25:36.880
- A street in the kingdom, out of the kingdom, you'll say, hey,
- 00:25:36.880 --> 00:25:40.851
- That is not enough
