Boots and you all for giving me 3 00:00:09,400 --> 00:00:13,120 the opportunity to opportunity to be here and preach and not 4 00:00:13,120 --> 00:00:15,000 only to preach but to get to meet you all. 5 00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:18,000 It's been a great opportunity and a lot of good experience for 6 00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:20,680 me and I just like you to keep me in your prayers. 7 00:00:20,680 --> 00:00:23,480 As I like you mentioned, I head back this Saturday and Zach 8 00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:25,160 heads back this Friday and so just keep. 9 00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:27,400 Us in your prayers as we go into this next? 10 00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:30,630 We're looking forward to it and excited for what all the Lord 11 00:00:30,630 --> 00:00:32,549 has. So take your Bibles tonight and 12 00:00:32,549 --> 00:00:38,350 turn to Luke Chapter #21. We'll be in Luke 21 and we're. 13 00:00:38,350 --> 00:00:47,730 Going to be reading verses one through 4 and says, And he 14 00:00:47,730 --> 00:00:50,650 looked up and saw the rich men casting their gifts into the 15 00:00:50,650 --> 00:00:53,290 treasury. And he saw also a certain poor 16 00:00:53,290 --> 00:00:55,450 widow casting in that their two mites. 17 00:00:55,730 --> 00:00:59,290 And he said of a truth I say unto you, that this poor widow 18 00:00:59,290 --> 00:01:02,460 have cast in more than they all, where all these have their 19 00:01:02,460 --> 00:01:04,420 abundance cast into the offerings of God. 20 00:01:04,700 --> 00:01:07,580 But she of her penury had cast in all that she had. 21 00:01:07,900 --> 00:01:10,020 We pick it up here in the Loop, Chapter #21. 22 00:01:10,100 --> 00:01:12,540 Jesus is sitting beside this treasury and he's. 23 00:01:12,540 --> 00:01:14,900 Watching as all these rich men, I'm sure important men are 24 00:01:14,900 --> 00:01:17,460 casting in all their money. They're casting in a good amount 25 00:01:17,460 --> 00:01:19,660 of money. But we see here in verse #2 we 26 00:01:19,660 --> 00:01:22,980 see a widow the Bible calls her. A poor widow comes up and cast. 27 00:01:22,980 --> 00:01:25,780 2 mites And now I can see all the rich men sitting there right 28 00:01:25,780 --> 00:01:27,100 now. Like look at this lady. 29 00:01:27,100 --> 00:01:30,540 She's casting in. 2 Mites And we're casting in 100 mites or 30 00:01:30,540 --> 00:01:34,060 however many they cast in But Jesus says very something very 31 00:01:34,060 --> 00:01:38,420 interesting in verses #3 and four he says and he said of a 32 00:01:38,420 --> 00:01:40,620 truth. I say unto you that this poor 33 00:01:40,620 --> 00:01:43,140 widow have cast in more than they all and I can picture all 34 00:01:43,140 --> 00:01:44,580 the rich men, important men, sitting there. 35 00:01:44,900 --> 00:01:47,410 Excuse me, like, what are you trying to say? 36 00:01:47,410 --> 00:01:49,210 He says. For all of these have of their 37 00:01:49,210 --> 00:01:52,210 abundance cast into in unto the offerings of God. 38 00:01:52,650 --> 00:01:56,530 But she of her penury had cast in all that she had all the 39 00:01:56,530 --> 00:01:59,210 living that she had. She gave all that she had and 40 00:01:59,210 --> 00:02:01,490 that was the difference. Are you willing to give your all 41 00:02:01,490 --> 00:02:03,090 for God tonight? Let's pray. 42 00:02:03,890 --> 00:02:06,370 Dear Jesus, I pray where that you just be with me, Father. 43 00:02:06,370 --> 00:02:08,289 Tonight as I speak, I pray where that you give me the words to 44 00:02:08,289 --> 00:02:09,610 say. Father, speak through me. 45 00:02:09,610 --> 00:02:11,530 I think the word for this church, Father, I think your 46 00:02:11,530 --> 00:02:13,690 word for just everyone here tonight. 47 00:02:13,690 --> 00:02:15,810 Father, I pray with you would bless Father and keep blessing 48 00:02:15,810 --> 00:02:17,250 this church. And just now I pray Amen. 49 00:02:17,250 --> 00:02:20,330 You may be asking yourself tonight, why should I give my 50 00:02:20,330 --> 00:02:22,490 all to God? Why does he deserve my all? 51 00:02:22,490 --> 00:02:24,490 Well, he gave his all for you, didn't he? 52 00:02:24,570 --> 00:02:28,930 Take your Bibles and turn to Matthew chapter #27, Matthew 53 00:02:28,930 --> 00:02:33,210 chapter #27. And we're going to be in verse 54 00:02:33,210 --> 00:02:43,010 #27, Matthew 27, verse 27. And it says then the soldiers of 55 00:02:43,010 --> 00:02:46,780 the governor took Jesus into the common hole and gathered onto 56 00:02:46,780 --> 00:02:50,100 him the whole band of soldiers and they stripped him and put on 57 00:02:50,100 --> 00:02:59,330 him a scarlet robe. And when they had and mocked him 58 00:02:59,330 --> 00:03:02,850 saying hail king of the Jews and they spit upon him and took the 59 00:03:02,850 --> 00:03:05,930 Reed and smote him on the head. And after that, they had mocked 60 00:03:05,930 --> 00:03:10,250 him and they they took the robe off from him and put it, put his 61 00:03:10,250 --> 00:03:13,130 own raiment on him and led him away to crucify him. 62 00:03:13,860 --> 00:03:17,100 Jesus didn't give 50%. Jesus didn't give 70%. 63 00:03:17,220 --> 00:03:19,860 He gave his all. He gave it all so that I 64 00:03:19,860 --> 00:03:21,420 wouldn't have to spend eternity in hell. 65 00:03:21,420 --> 00:03:23,940 He gave his all so that you wouldn't have to spend eternity 66 00:03:23,940 --> 00:03:25,940 in hell. If you think tonight about the 67 00:03:25,940 --> 00:03:28,260 people that have given their all for you or the people that have 68 00:03:28,260 --> 00:03:31,420 sacrificed for you, I think about my parents who are here 69 00:03:31,420 --> 00:03:34,580 tonight who have sacrificed and given their all so that I could 70 00:03:34,580 --> 00:03:37,740 be in a Christian School through kindergarten, through 12th grade 71 00:03:37,740 --> 00:03:40,760 and so that I could have the Bible taught to me and so I can 72 00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:43,200 hide the verses that I learned there in my heart and just get a 73 00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:45,480 good education. I think of the teachers who have 74 00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:48,360 sacrificed and given their all for me going through school. 75 00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:50,440 I think the teachers who are doing that right now at college, 76 00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:53,320 they're trying to prepare me the best they can to go serve the 77 00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:56,560 Lord in the ministry one day. I think about pastors who have 78 00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:59,160 sacrificed. Pastor Boots has been a great 79 00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:01,960 role model in my life, somebody I've always looked up to and 80 00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:04,840 respected very much. And I think of people like him, 81 00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:08,000 pastor brothers who have given their all and that for people 82 00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:09,920 like me so that we could follow in their footsteps. 83 00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:13,400 I think of the youth workers who have given their all so that I 84 00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:16,000 could be excited about coming to church and excited about going 85 00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:18,040 to team meeting and different teen activities. 86 00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:21,480 Bus workers who give their all to go out and pick kids up for 87 00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:24,200 church every Sunday morning. That's a big part of our church 88 00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:26,280 that I think oftentimes gets overlooked. 89 00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:30,800 But as much as those people have done for you, as much as those 90 00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:34,400 people sacrifice for you, Jesus has given more for you than any 91 00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:36,040 person on earth could ever give for you. 92 00:04:36,550 --> 00:04:38,590 He gave it all. So we should give our all for 93 00:04:38,590 --> 00:04:42,710 him and #2. Anything less than all will 94 00:04:42,710 --> 00:04:45,230 never be good enough. Turn to 2nd Corinthians Chapter 95 00:04:45,230 --> 00:04:49,630 9 Second Corinthians Chapter 9, verse six. 96 00:04:54,390 --> 00:04:57,630 Second Corinthians 9/6. It says. 97 00:04:58,270 --> 00:04:59,910 But this I say. He would. 98 00:04:59,910 --> 00:05:04,030 So is sparingly, shall reap also sparingly, and he would show it 99 00:05:04,230 --> 00:05:07,140 bouncefully Shall reap also bouncifully. 100 00:05:07,820 --> 00:05:09,140 I'm. In other words, you're going to 101 00:05:09,140 --> 00:05:11,860 reap what you said, right? I'm so thankful that growing up 102 00:05:11,860 --> 00:05:14,580 I had parents that taught me that you're going to get out of 103 00:05:14,580 --> 00:05:18,020 things what you put into things. In other words, I can't study 104 00:05:18,020 --> 00:05:21,340 for a testing, Study for 5 minutes for a test and go in and 105 00:05:21,340 --> 00:05:24,140 expect to make an A. Many times I did study 5 minutes 106 00:05:24,140 --> 00:05:25,580 for a test. And you know what? 107 00:05:25,580 --> 00:05:27,460 I made. Well, I'm not going to tell you 108 00:05:27,460 --> 00:05:28,900 tonight this. It's too embarrassing. 109 00:05:28,900 --> 00:05:30,300 But that's not the important part. 110 00:05:30,820 --> 00:05:33,620 And then I'm so thankful for parents who taught me you're 111 00:05:33,620 --> 00:05:35,860 going to get out of things what you put into things. 112 00:05:36,380 --> 00:05:39,220 You can't practice once a week for a sport that you're playing. 113 00:05:39,220 --> 00:05:42,300 Expect to be the MVP. You can't expect to be able to 114 00:05:42,300 --> 00:05:44,180 play an instrument if you never practice. 115 00:05:44,340 --> 00:05:46,260 And the same thing applies to serving the Lord. 116 00:05:46,620 --> 00:05:49,300 You can't expect to have a thriving bus route and have kids 117 00:05:49,300 --> 00:05:51,980 coming every Sunday morning if you're skipping out and not 118 00:05:51,980 --> 00:05:53,460 being faithful to bus visitation. 119 00:05:54,060 --> 00:05:56,060 You can't expect to hear from the Lord if you're never 120 00:05:56,060 --> 00:05:58,820 spending any time alone with Him in prayer and devotional life. 121 00:05:59,660 --> 00:06:02,460 We can't expect to see souls saved if we're never going out 122 00:06:02,460 --> 00:06:05,540 and giving the gospel. What we put into things is what 123 00:06:05,540 --> 00:06:06,780 we're going to get out of things. 124 00:06:07,100 --> 00:06:09,140 You we should put our all into serving God. 125 00:06:10,340 --> 00:06:11,980 My Third Point tonight is for the teens. 126 00:06:11,980 --> 00:06:13,900 I'm always got to pick on the youth group. 127 00:06:13,980 --> 00:06:16,220 I've gotten to know them a little bit over the past few 128 00:06:16,220 --> 00:06:19,140 days. So turn God is looking for 129 00:06:19,140 --> 00:06:21,260 teenagers who will give their all to serving Him. 130 00:06:21,780 --> 00:06:23,900 God is looking for the teenagers who will give their all. 131 00:06:24,220 --> 00:06:27,740 Turn to John Chapter 6. John Chapter #6. 132 00:06:36,930 --> 00:06:39,610 Many of you know the story of the feeding of the 5000 and 133 00:06:39,610 --> 00:06:42,610 that's where we pick it up. In verses 8:00 and 9:00 of John 134 00:06:42,610 --> 00:06:46,170 chapter six we see this young boy coming to give 5 loaves and 135 00:06:46,170 --> 00:06:49,410 two fishes to Jesus, says one of his disciples, Andrew Simon 136 00:06:49,410 --> 00:06:52,850 Peters brothers safe unto him. There's a lad here which have 5 137 00:06:52,850 --> 00:06:54,690 barley loaves and two small fishes. 138 00:06:55,010 --> 00:06:58,970 But what are they among so many? This boy, he didn't give half of 139 00:06:58,970 --> 00:07:02,000 what he had to Jesus. He didn't have give a little bit 140 00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:04,400 of what he had to Jesus. He gave all of what he had to 141 00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:07,400 Jesus and he didn't have much. He only had five lives and two 142 00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:08,960 fishes. But young person, when you give 143 00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:11,400 your all to Jesus, when you give your life and surrender to 144 00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:13,800 Jesus, he will do more with it than you could have ever 145 00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:15,880 imagined. I don't think that this young 146 00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:19,040 man, when he came up to Jesus, he wasn't expecting Jesus to 147 00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:21,880 feed 5000 people with just five lives and two fishes. 148 00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:23,480 I don't think he expected that to happen. 149 00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:27,280 But when we give our all to serving God, he will bless that 150 00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:29,680 you can ask anyone in here. You ask your parents. 151 00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:32,400 Ask Pastor Boots. Ask any of the youth workers in 152 00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:34,720 here. That surrendered life and giving 153 00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:37,240 your all to God is far better than anything that the world has 154 00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:40,160 to offer today. But you have to be willing. 155 00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:42,160 You have to be willing to give God your all. 156 00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:45,560 And sometimes being willing to give God your all means you're 157 00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:46,920 going to. Have to give up some things in 158 00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:48,960 your life. Are you willing to give up that 159 00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:51,800 friend that may not be the best influence for you in your life. 160 00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:54,480 Are you willing to stop listening to the wrong music? 161 00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:57,000 Are you willing to stop disrespecting your parents? 162 00:07:57,410 --> 00:08:00,250 Are you willing to do get rid of anything that will keep you from 163 00:08:00,250 --> 00:08:02,730 giving your all and do anything that will keep you from serving 164 00:08:02,730 --> 00:08:05,770 God? Now more than ever we need some 165 00:08:05,770 --> 00:08:09,490 teenagers and we need some young adults who are surrendered and 166 00:08:09,490 --> 00:08:12,930 giving their all to God. And the last point I have 167 00:08:12,930 --> 00:08:16,010 tonight is. When you give God your all, 168 00:08:16,170 --> 00:08:19,330 expect Satan to come after you. You know sayings not worried for 169 00:08:19,330 --> 00:08:22,940 the Christians that aren't back slid and he's not worried about 170 00:08:22,940 --> 00:08:25,180 the Christians that are in church once a week. 171 00:08:25,180 --> 00:08:27,540 He's not worried about the Christians that aren't really 172 00:08:27,540 --> 00:08:30,060 doing much for God because he's already got them right where he 173 00:08:30,060 --> 00:08:32,100 wants them. He's got them not doing too 174 00:08:32,100 --> 00:08:33,059 many. He's worried about the 175 00:08:33,059 --> 00:08:35,260 Christians that are given their all to God. 176 00:08:35,260 --> 00:08:37,980 He's worried about the servants of God that are really putting 177 00:08:37,980 --> 00:08:40,020 effort and time into it and the servants of God. 178 00:08:40,340 --> 00:08:42,620 They're given their all. I think of men in the Bible who 179 00:08:42,620 --> 00:08:45,420 Satan attacked. I think of men like Joe who was 180 00:08:45,420 --> 00:08:48,430 a man sold out to God, but then Satan came and try to do 181 00:08:48,430 --> 00:08:51,110 everything that he could to Joe to get him from not being as 182 00:08:51,110 --> 00:08:55,070 faithful to God as he should be. I think of men like Joseph who 183 00:08:55,070 --> 00:08:57,550 as far as we know trying to do his best to live for the Lord 184 00:08:57,550 --> 00:09:00,390 and then Satan sends along pot of his wife to try to tempt 185 00:09:00,390 --> 00:09:03,550 Joseph and try to get him to do something that would be immoral 186 00:09:03,550 --> 00:09:07,070 and wrong inside of God. I think of men like Daniel who 187 00:09:07,070 --> 00:09:09,190 is threatened to be thrown in the lines then because of his 188 00:09:09,190 --> 00:09:12,790 faithfulness to prayer and faithfulness and dedication to 189 00:09:12,790 --> 00:09:15,430 the things of God. But all three of these men, the 190 00:09:15,430 --> 00:09:17,230 St. and Tempted each have something in common. 191 00:09:17,590 --> 00:09:20,030 They each were giving their all to God, and each had a 192 00:09:20,030 --> 00:09:24,150 surrendered life to God all. Whenever we give God our all, 193 00:09:24,430 --> 00:09:27,190 that's when Satan will try his best to make us fall. 194 00:09:28,350 --> 00:09:30,390 Turn to Revelation chapter #20 tonight. 195 00:09:31,950 --> 00:09:34,510 I'm thankful tonight that no matter how much Satan attacks 196 00:09:34,510 --> 00:09:37,310 us, no matter how much he comes after us, when we try to give 197 00:09:37,310 --> 00:09:40,270 our all to him, I think what we have a more powerful God than 198 00:09:40,270 --> 00:09:44,990 Satan. Turn to Revelation 20 and we're 199 00:09:44,990 --> 00:09:46,510 going to be looking at verse #10. 200 00:09:48,330 --> 00:09:51,250 It says, and the devil that deceived them was cast into the 201 00:09:51,250 --> 00:09:54,210 lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false 202 00:09:54,210 --> 00:09:57,730 prophet are and shall be tormented day and night forever 203 00:09:57,730 --> 00:10:00,290 and ever. I'm thankful that we can serve 204 00:10:00,290 --> 00:10:02,890 God and we can give him our all, knowing that we're on the 205 00:10:02,890 --> 00:10:04,970 winning side. The devil knows he's already 206 00:10:04,970 --> 00:10:06,370 beaten. The devil knows he's already 207 00:10:06,370 --> 00:10:08,370 defeated. But he's going to try his best 208 00:10:08,650 --> 00:10:11,050 to get us from giving, to keep us from giving our. 209 00:10:11,050 --> 00:10:13,700 All to God and keep us from serving him and I'm thankful 210 00:10:13,700 --> 00:10:15,260 that when we. Give God our life. 211 00:10:15,260 --> 00:10:17,100 We know that we're on the winning side and that God's 212 00:10:17,100 --> 00:10:20,020 already taking care of us.
