1 00:00:01,400 --> 00:00:04,360 Welcome, Crossing Family. I wish I could be with you this 2 00:00:04,360 --> 00:00:07,920 weekend, but I'm preaching at our first Uncommon Conference in 3 00:00:07,920 --> 00:00:10,040 Florida. It would not be back in time for 4 00:00:10,040 --> 00:00:13,440 our Thursday services. And that means I need to find 5 00:00:13,440 --> 00:00:17,440 someone to help us on our 5050 journey, which I hope you're 6 00:00:17,440 --> 00:00:19,680 still on. I'd like to introduce you to 7 00:00:19,680 --> 00:00:22,280 Nate Ross. Nate Ross is the founder of 8 00:00:22,280 --> 00:00:25,280 Moments to Movements. His passion is connecting 9 00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:28,360 leaders like you to the creator, helping you breakthrough your 10 00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:32,159 growth barriers so that you can thrive in your unique calling. 11 00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:35,160 Having grown up in a pastor's home that served in churches 12 00:00:35,160 --> 00:00:38,480 ranging from the Midwest all the way to Las Vegas, he's had some 13 00:00:38,480 --> 00:00:41,720 unique opportunities to learn from some incredible leaders. 14 00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:44,360 Nate has served as a guidance counselor for a Christian 15 00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:48,200 university on boards of global nonprofits and it is local 16 00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:51,000 church in almost every role imaginable. 17 00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:54,760 Most recently, he served as a lead pastor in a Church of over 18 00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:59,280 6000 people that was twice named one of the top 100 fastest 19 00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:03,120 Growing churches in America. On top of all of that, he's my 20 00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:05,480 friend and a world class encourager. 21 00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:09,200 Would you please give Nate Ross a warm crossing welcome? 22 00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:11,000 Get him, Nate. Amen. 23 00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:16,480 Boy crossing family, what an honor to be with you and every 24 00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:20,400 campus want to welcome you. And I met Clayton, your pastor, 25 00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:25,320 23 years ago when I was his camp counselor at church camp. 26 00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:30,240 And he was a scrawny little kid. And no, actually he dominated 27 00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:32,040 all of his counselors in basketball. 28 00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:36,480 But 23 years ago I met him and we formed this friendship. 29 00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:38,720 And it was one. It's just been one of these joys 30 00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:41,040 of journeying. And here's the thing, I'm not 31 00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:44,280 really a spiritual father. I'm just a spiritual brother to 32 00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:46,120 him. And he's my Big Brother, right? 33 00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:48,160 Because Claytons, everybody's Big Brother, right? 34 00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:51,880 And but I love this church and I love what God is doing. 35 00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:55,560 And if this is your first time or if it is your first time in a 36 00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:57,720 long time, I want to welcome you. 37 00:01:57,960 --> 00:01:59,480 This is my first time in a long time. 38 00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:02,720 I was here in August for your uncommon conference. 39 00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:05,200 Anybody here? Any men in here, in this room 40 00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:08,560 show hands in your campus here? Any women try to break into that 41 00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:10,520 conference, right. You know, I mean, it is a 42 00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:13,240 happening deal. And it was great. 43 00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:16,520 My me and my dad got to be here and it was a joy. 44 00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:19,160 And and here's what I love. The reason why I'm here really 45 00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:23,280 is because God is using this church, the Crossing family, to 46 00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:25,960 help change the churches all across our country. 47 00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:28,360 That that's what was going on. Clayton, you saw it in the 48 00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:29,960 video. He was down in Florida as they 49 00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:32,240 kicked off their first uncommon conference. 50 00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:35,440 I grew up in Las Vegas and so the phrase I grew up with is 51 00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:38,400 what happens in Vegas, what stays in Vegas. 52 00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:39,760 Here's what I love about the crossing. 53 00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:42,480 What happens at the crossing doesn't stay at the Crossing, 54 00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:44,760 right. I love this about the Crossing. 55 00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:47,440 You guys are going. We're not just about here. 56 00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:51,400 We are about God's Kingdom. This is the invitation that you 57 00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:53,680 have. Maybe you came in today or maybe 58 00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:55,640 this is your thought. You're like, you know what? 59 00:02:55,640 --> 00:02:58,960 We're in the tri-state area. We're not really Chicago. 60 00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:03,400 We're not really Kansas City. We're not really Saint Louis. 61 00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:08,520 We're just us. And can I just let you know 62 00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:12,840 today, you being you is enough. Because here's what changes us. 63 00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:15,440 We don't change ourselves. It is the Kingdom of God that 64 00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:18,040 changes us. It is the Kingdom of God that 65 00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:21,680 floods into our life. And God says, I want to use the 66 00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:24,920 tri-state area to change this country. 67 00:03:24,920 --> 00:03:26,720 That's the invitation for United Day. 68 00:03:26,920 --> 00:03:30,200 That's why we talk about this series 50 for 50, because this 69 00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:33,720 is God's invitation for you. He's going, I want to meet you 70 00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:36,840 right where you are and I want to change you from the inside 71 00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:38,280 out. And I don't want to just change 72 00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:40,560 you. I want to change the community 73 00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:42,680 around you, and I want to invite you. 74 00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:44,960 If you haven't picked up one of these, it's just $10 out in the 75 00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:46,280 lobby. I've been following along the 76 00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:48,200 last two weeks. Clayton's sermon, if you didn't 77 00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:50,400 get to check it out last weekend on the word of God is 78 00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:52,680 phenomenal. But what happens is this. 79 00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:58,120 God begins to change our life the more we make His word in His 80 00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:00,400 ways, our priority. Matter of fact, some of you are 81 00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:01,120 going. You know what? 82 00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:04,880 I have been looking for more. And this is what I love. 83 00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:06,520 This is what I love that happens in the world. 84 00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:08,760 It's this. We want more in this church. 85 00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:11,640 We want more to go God, We want you to do more in our life. 86 00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:13,120 That's what this series is all about. 87 00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:15,120 But can I just let you know? This is what I found out. 88 00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:17,519 Crossing family. It's not just you that once 89 00:04:17,519 --> 00:04:18,600 more. Here's what I found out. 90 00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:22,000 15,000,000 more people want more in this world. 91 00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:23,960 Do you know that? You're like, well, how'd you do 92 00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:26,120 that? Because I read what is the 93 00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:28,600 number one best selling book on Amazon right now? 94 00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:31,440 And you know what the number one best selling book on Amazon is 95 00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:33,160 right now? It's this book right here. 96 00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:37,920 It's called Atomic Habits, the number one book right now in the 97 00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:38,720 world. It's this. 98 00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:41,400 It's Atomic Habits and 15,000,000 people. 99 00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:43,680 It was the number one book back in 2021. 100 00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:45,800 It's the number one book again right now. 101 00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:48,720 And what the world is saying by buying this book, it's this. 102 00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:54,600 I need more and I don't have what I'm looking for, but I want 103 00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:57,920 more in my life. You may be here today going this 104 00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:01,720 can't be it. And what I love is this. 105 00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:05,160 I love when authors stumble upon this idea that they're like, 106 00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:08,760 scientifically, we've proven it. And God's like, oh, you did oh, 107 00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:11,800 that's so neat. Like these rhythms just showed 108 00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:15,120 up in the 21st century like they've never been here before. 109 00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:17,560 And I love James Clears. I don't know his faith journey, 110 00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:19,880 but I love his tagline. He says. 111 00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:23,680 This tiny changes remarkable results. 112 00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:28,200 What an idea. If you and I begin to make just 113 00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:34,320 some tiny changes in our life and we watch God do the 114 00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:37,200 remarkable, You know, this whole series talk about 50 for 50. 115 00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:40,080 It's about going pro. And today I want to talk about 116 00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:42,560 going pro. And this is the big idea. 117 00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:44,360 I just want to communicate. If you have your book, you want 118 00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:45,840 to write this down. It's just simply this. 119 00:05:45,840 --> 00:05:47,440 And this is what we're going to look at is this. 120 00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:50,640 Jesus is. The more that you and I are 121 00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:55,600 looking for Jesus is the more we're looking everywhere to make 122 00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:57,920 our marriage better. We're looking everywhere to make 123 00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:00,120 our job better. We're trying to get better at 124 00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:03,840 all these different things, but Jesus is the more that we're 125 00:06:03,840 --> 00:06:05,800 looking for. Here's what I love that James 126 00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:07,400 Clear says in his book. It's this. 127 00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:08,720 I don't know about you, but I grew up. 128 00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:11,520 You know, we talk about creating these new habits. 129 00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:15,520 I always heard this idea that it takes 21 days to form a new 130 00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:17,320 habit. I couldn't even make it to day 131 00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:18,600 three. So I just give up, right. 132 00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:19,960 How many people? You just don't even make a New 133 00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:21,400 Year's resolution. You're like, I don't feel 134 00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:23,320 guilty, right? If you don't make one, you don't 135 00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:24,320 feel guilty, right? Like that. 136 00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:26,240 That's, that's a little bit of my mantra. 137 00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:28,960 But here's the thing. James Clear says this. 138 00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:31,680 I love it. He says, actually it's not 21 139 00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:33,320 days. I'll play a little prices right 140 00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:34,760 with you. Can he did some research. 141 00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:38,560 Can anybody guess how long he says it takes nowadays to form a 142 00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:42,640 new habit? Anybody throw a number out, 47. 143 00:06:43,280 --> 00:06:45,880 Someone said $1.00 Bob, right? You know what I'm saying? 144 00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:48,120 Like, right, here's what James says. 145 00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:51,760 James says now with all sorts of scientific research, he says it 146 00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:54,080 takes 66 days to create a new habit. 147 00:06:55,960 --> 00:07:00,320 See, This is why God says if you want to change, you've got to 148 00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:04,680 show us every day into my word. And he uses this phrase in that 149 00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:06,120 book and this is what all this is about. 150 00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:07,600 It says. He calls it habit stacking. 151 00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:11,960 Last week Clayton talked about stacking our life on the word of 152 00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:14,800 God and obedience. Out of that, today I want to 153 00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:17,200 look at 2 disciplines that Jesus did. 154 00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:20,640 Because what happens is when you and I, GoPro, here's the thing. 155 00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:27,320 The game is going to change and Jesus is the game changer. 156 00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:29,600 I want us to look at Mark chapter 12. 157 00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:31,720 This is the verse that this whole series is built on. 158 00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:35,000 And what's amazing about this verse in Mark chapter 12, it's 159 00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:36,840 this. Jesus changed the game. 160 00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:40,760 This is from Deuteronomy chapter 6, except Jesus starts adding 161 00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:42,640 things to the scriptures. Now here's the deal. 162 00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:43,920 You and I don't get to change scripture. 163 00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:45,200 But guess who gets to change Scripture? 164 00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:48,640 Jesus does, right? Jesus is the one that changes. 165 00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:50,800 And this is what he says in Mark chapter 12. 166 00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:55,560 A law keeper, A Pharisee, came to him and they tried to trick 167 00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:57,480 Jesus. Just heads up real quick. 168 00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:00,040 If you're going to get in a theological argument with Jesus, 169 00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:03,480 you're going to lose, right? And listen what Jesus says in 170 00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:06,040 Mark chapter 12. He asked him what is the 171 00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:08,240 greatest thing that we could give our life to? 172 00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:11,280 He says here it is the greatest law out of all 613 laws. 173 00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:16,120 It's this love the Lord your God with all of your heart, with all 174 00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:19,120 of your soul and with all of your mind. 175 00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:22,800 What's interesting is this. Jesus adds this word from 176 00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:25,440 Deuteronomy chapter 6. It's not in Deuteronomy chapter 177 00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:27,760 6, but this is what he knows. If your life is going to change, 178 00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:33,679 your mind is going to need to change and with all of your 179 00:08:33,799 --> 00:08:36,159 strength. The 2nd is this. 180 00:08:36,159 --> 00:08:38,440 He takes Leviticus and adds a verse to it. 181 00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:39,760 This he says. The 2nd is this. 182 00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:43,760 Love your neighbor as yourself and there is no commandment 183 00:08:44,039 --> 00:08:49,000 greater than these. The whole series is based on 184 00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:51,880 this. But if you want to GoPro, you 185 00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:55,040 GoPro based on commitments, because amateurs live by 186 00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:57,680 feelings. Some of you you're going, you 187 00:08:57,680 --> 00:08:59,280 know what? I don't know how God feels about 188 00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:03,640 me right now, or you know how you feel about God and you and 189 00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:04,440 God. Right now. 190 00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:07,240 I've got a good friend. Right now, he's in an argument 191 00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:11,000 with God and there's all sorts of feelings going on in his 192 00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:14,200 life. Some of you, you're going, this 193 00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:15,560 is what I feel about my neighbor. 194 00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:19,120 Some of you are here today and you don't even like yourself. 195 00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:23,680 And Jesus says it's the love of God that begins to change us and 196 00:09:23,680 --> 00:09:26,280 move us forward. Well, how do we do that? 197 00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:29,600 I want to look at 2 practices today that you're going to find 198 00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:30,840 in your booklet. And here's the thing. 199 00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:33,520 They are not what you think. That changes us. 200 00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:36,360 This is the ways of Jesus. It's not always the way we 201 00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:37,880 think. Matter of fact, the more I 202 00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:40,760 studied the the the ways of Jesus, here's what I found out. 203 00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:43,680 Here's how Jesus stayed in relationship with his father. 204 00:09:43,680 --> 00:09:46,440 There's three things he did. This is how he went pro. 205 00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:48,240 It was through three things. And it's what we do. 206 00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:50,400 It's this. He practiced his spiritual 207 00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:52,720 gifts. You were made with spiritual 208 00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:55,800 gifts when you get baptized, when you allow the Holy Spirit 209 00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:59,400 to come into you, He gifts you to be a blessing. 210 00:09:59,560 --> 00:10:03,400 You have gifts. You have a calling on your life. 211 00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:05,680 Jesus lived according to his spiritual gifts. 212 00:10:05,680 --> 00:10:07,680 Here's the other thing. He practiced spiritual 213 00:10:07,680 --> 00:10:09,320 disciplines. We're going to talk about two of 214 00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:11,400 them today. And then the third thing is 215 00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:13,880 this. He obeyed the promptings of the 216 00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:17,920 Holy Spirit in his life. Now you're looking at it going. 217 00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:20,240 I can do that. I know. 218 00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:23,240 Here's the good news. Jesus wants you to go pro today. 219 00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:26,640 He's like, I want you to live by your spiritual gifts. 220 00:10:26,680 --> 00:10:31,280 I want you to allow the spiritual disciplines to change 221 00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:33,560 your life. And I want you to obey the 222 00:10:33,560 --> 00:10:36,640 promptings of the Holy Spirit. So how how do we go pro? 223 00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:38,040 Two things. We're going to talk about two 224 00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:40,120 disciplines that Jesus did. It's this. 225 00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:42,680 He lived by these these disciplines. 226 00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:47,200 Fasting and Sabbath. Boy, I was really expecting 227 00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:49,480 everybody to stand on their feet and start cheering right there, 228 00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:51,680 right. You're like, no food and no 229 00:10:51,680 --> 00:10:53,520 work. That's how my life is going to 230 00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:54,960 change. Really. 231 00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:58,200 That's what I woke up for, is for you to tell me to go without 232 00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:00,640 food and don't work, and then everything's going to change. 233 00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:02,920 Just show of hands real quick. How many people right now? 234 00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:04,520 You're like, dude, I just need a day off. 235 00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:07,480 You're like, you know, Clayton, you got in at 2:30 this morning, 236 00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:08,480 right? Here you are. 237 00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:10,520 You're like, you know, maybe one of the most spiritual things you 238 00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:12,000 can do is take a nap during the sermon. 239 00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:13,400 All right? You have blessing to do that 240 00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:14,720 right now. Here's the thing. 241 00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:17,600 How many are like, I don't need a day, I need a vacation right 242 00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:19,520 now. You're like, man, I just need a 243 00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:21,080 vacation now. Here's the tip. 244 00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:23,440 I'm a parent of 311, eight and six. 245 00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:27,200 Do not confuse taking a vacation with going with your kids. 246 00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:30,480 You did not take a vacation. You took a trip, right? 247 00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:33,720 And when you get back, you will need a vacation from your trip, 248 00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:34,960 right? But you didn't. 249 00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:38,040 You didn't do a vacation. Now here's what I know about is 250 00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:39,360 in this room. And even if you're not a 251 00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:42,320 follower of Jesus, it's this. There's something inside you 252 00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:48,080 that goes, man, I need rest. See, that's what the Sabbath is 253 00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:51,720 all about. The Sabbath is from God, and 254 00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:53,720 it's kind of a Jewish term. It's in the 10 Commandments 255 00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:56,360 we'll talk about in a minute. It's about giving your soul the 256 00:11:56,360 --> 00:12:01,120 rest that you need. And fasting is about the 257 00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:03,720 presence of God. There's an epidemic. 258 00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:05,560 I was doing some study on this. You know what our leading 259 00:12:05,560 --> 00:12:07,360 epidemic is right now in America? 260 00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:09,720 And they're saying this is the leading epidemic across the 261 00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:12,160 world. Loneliness. 262 00:12:13,560 --> 00:12:16,960 How is it that we can be more connected than ever before and 263 00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:20,640 be more lonely than ever heard someone say it? 264 00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:21,680 This way? They said, here's what 265 00:12:21,680 --> 00:12:25,280 technology has done to us. Technology has made us become 266 00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:28,440 private when we're in public, and it's made us become public 267 00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:33,560 when we're in private. Could it be that our whole 268 00:12:33,560 --> 00:12:38,680 internal framework is messed up? And This is why we need fasting 269 00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:43,200 in the Sabbath today? We need a fresh presence of God. 270 00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:46,280 And we don't just need the presence of God, we need the 271 00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:50,760 rest of God in US. See, what I was saying is this. 272 00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:53,320 Jesus is the more that you and I are looking for. 273 00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:56,800 But here's how the more comes in, less is more. 274 00:12:58,160 --> 00:12:59,800 You're like, no, Nate More is more. 275 00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:03,800 You and I are getting all that we can in this world, and it's 276 00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:07,640 leaving us more broken, confused, frustrated, and angry 277 00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:11,080 than ever before. And Jesus invites us into this 278 00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:13,160 life. Matter of fact, you see Jesus 279 00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:15,800 practicing the spiritual discipline in Matthew chapter 4, 280 00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:18,640 right after he gets baptized. Here's what the Spirit does in 281 00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:19,760 his life. Look what it says here in 282 00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:22,520 Matthew chapter 4, right after he gets baptized. 283 00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:25,360 Here's the first thing the Spirit did in his life, he said 284 00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:27,680 then. Jesus was led by the Spirit. 285 00:13:27,680 --> 00:13:29,360 There he is being obedient to the Spirit. 286 00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:32,760 OK, God, what you have for me, I'm going to do into the desert 287 00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:35,520 to be tempted by the devil, and I don't have enough time to 288 00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:37,080 unpack it. But what what you're going to 289 00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:39,120 find is this. Jesus is the true Israelite. 290 00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:42,400 He's going to do what Israel did not do in the 40 years of the 291 00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:44,320 wilderness. He's going to be the faithful 292 00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:45,840 one. He's going to be the one who 293 00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:48,000 doesn't give in to sin. He's going to be the one who's 294 00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:50,400 going to complete everything that God has for us. 295 00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:55,560 Listen exactly what happens in verse 2 after fasting 40 days 296 00:13:55,560 --> 00:13:57,680 and 40 nights. He was hungry. 297 00:13:57,880 --> 00:14:00,600 Thank you very much, Matthew. I got to believe that he was 298 00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:04,200 starving, right? After 40 days and 40 nights of 299 00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:08,080 fasting, he's hungry. This represents the 40 years of 300 00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:09,560 the Israelites. And then listen to what it says 301 00:14:09,560 --> 00:14:12,400 in verse 3. The tempter came to him and 302 00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:18,200 said, if you are the son of God, tell these stones to become 303 00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:20,600 bread. You know where Satan attacks 304 00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:23,520 Jesus? He attacks his feelings. 305 00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:27,280 He attacks his identity. Here's what's going to happen 306 00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:30,400 when you and I keep following Jesus, or if you become a 307 00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:32,360 follower of Jesus. Here's what you're going to have 308 00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:34,240 to do battle with. You're going to have to do 309 00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:37,280 battle with the voices that speak into your life. 310 00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:40,600 And here's the thing. There can only be 1 voice that 311 00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:48,280 you listen to students in here. I love seeing multi generation 312 00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:50,960 in here. You know there are voices that 313 00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:55,640 are competing for your identity. That's exactly where Satan goes. 314 00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:57,920 See This is why fasting is so important. 315 00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:00,160 It goes on to say this verse four. 316 00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:03,440 Then Jesus answered and it is written Man does not live on 317 00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:06,920 bread alone but on every word that comes from the mouth of 318 00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:08,960 God. Here's what I want us to get 319 00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:11,440 today. It's this Sometimes we think 320 00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:15,040 fasting is just about going without food, just doing without 321 00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:17,120 stuff. Can I just let you know Fasting 322 00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:20,720 is for feasting. Fasting is about you and I 323 00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:24,920 feasting on God's word. It's about feasting on the 324 00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:27,880 presence of God. I love how Jesus says this in 325 00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:30,720 Matthew chapter five. He says blessed are those who 326 00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:35,760 hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be 327 00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:38,240 filled. Jesus says Christianity isn't 328 00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:39,960 just about going. Oh, hope I didn't cuss this 329 00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:41,080 week. Oh, I cussed. 330 00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:43,320 Oh boy. You know, and it's just 331 00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:44,880 everything's about not messing up. 332 00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:47,600 No, Jesus says. It is about hungering and 333 00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:52,000 thirsting for righteousness, going after the things of God. 334 00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:56,640 See, when you would fast in biblical time, where the 335 00:15:56,640 --> 00:15:59,840 Israelites would grow up, here's what fasting went It meant this 336 00:15:59,960 --> 00:16:01,880 not just that you would go without food. 337 00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:05,120 It's that the time it took to prepare the food. 338 00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:08,040 If you were going to make bread, you had to make the dough. 339 00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:10,360 Then you had to, you know, bake the dough. 340 00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:12,040 Then you had to eat the dough, right? 341 00:16:12,040 --> 00:16:14,160 It was a whole couple hour long process. 342 00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:16,680 And here's the thing, Jesus was saying this when you would fast, 343 00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:19,360 it's not just that you would give up food, it's that you 344 00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:22,560 would replace that process with the presence of God. 345 00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:25,680 God, I'm not going to make, I'm not going to make food. 346 00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:29,760 I'm going to I'm going to devour and spend time with you. 347 00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:33,400 Yesterday I I got to meet a buddy from Jacksonville that I 348 00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:37,400 went to Bible college with in Pittsfield, IL, the epicenter of 349 00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:39,800 Illinois.

I didn't prepare the food. 365 00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:20,640 I didn't clean the dishes. I like peace, right? 366 00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:23,480 Thank you, Bob. But here's the deal. 367 00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:28,119 Somebody got up that morning and made that food, and somebody 368 00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:31,040 took the time to prepare everything that was going on and 369 00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:34,040 see during that when we fast, when you and I take time to 370 00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:38,000 fast, here's what we do. We replace all of that process 371 00:17:38,120 --> 00:17:41,320 and we take time to say, God, more than anything else in this 372 00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:46,080 world, I want your presence. I want your presence. 373 00:17:47,120 --> 00:17:48,880 Jesus says this in John chapter 4. 374 00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:50,920 The disciples are confused about this. 375 00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:53,120 See the ways of Jesus when you and I GoPro. 376 00:17:53,120 --> 00:17:56,880 It is not the way that we think. It is not the way that the world 377 00:17:56,880 --> 00:17:59,120 tells us to GoPro. It is a whole different world. 378 00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:01,960 In Jesus when he meets the woman at the well, the Disciples, they 379 00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:05,440 come back and Jesus here they go, Hey, give him some food and 380 00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:09,040 listen what Jesus says in John chapter four, he says, hey, 381 00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:12,640 listen to them, he says, but he said to them, I have food to eat 382 00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:17,640 that you know nothing about. And they're like, is there a new 383 00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:18,800 cheese here? Right. 384 00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:19,640 You know, like, like where, where? 385 00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:20,880 Like where'd you eat? Jesus. 386 00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:26,080 And listen what he says, My food, Jesus said, is to do the 387 00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:31,360 will of him who sent me and to finish his work. 388 00:18:31,360 --> 00:18:33,040 Here's what I love about the word will. 389 00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:35,640 I don't know about you. I I've asked this question a 390 00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:38,000 number of times in my life. What is God's will for my life? 391 00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:39,640 What is God's will? You know what that word will 392 00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:41,840 means. It means this, the heart of God. 393 00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:48,720 You know what Jesus's food was? To feast on the heart of God. 394 00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:55,640 God, the most important thing in my life is your heart and God. 395 00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:57,760 I will give up anything. God, I will give up food. 396 00:18:57,760 --> 00:19:00,040 I will give up this stuff because I want more than any 397 00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:03,560 other pleasure in this world, because I know it's not enough. 398 00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:05,400 Jesus knows this. God you are. 399 00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:07,600 The more I'm looking for in this world. 400 00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:11,000 My food, he said, is to do the will of Him who sent me and to 401 00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:12,760 finish his work. See, here's what happens when we 402 00:19:12,760 --> 00:19:14,600 feast on Him. He gives us our purpose. 403 00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:18,240 He gives us our work and we talk about going pro. 404 00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:20,840 Here's the thing. None of us GoPro alone. 405 00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:26,880 We only GoPro with Jesus. We only GoPro feasting on the 406 00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:29,040 presence of God. Too many times. 407 00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:31,800 This has been my mistake. It's this, I see God work in my 408 00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:33,200 life. Thank you God. 409 00:19:33,320 --> 00:19:36,080 And I feast on his goodness. And then this is what I do. 410 00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:40,120 Then I try it on my own. I feast and then I forget. 411 00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:42,600 It's like when I'd come home from Bible college and I tried 412 00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:44,880 to tell my parents I'm my own man. 413 00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:47,240 Can you please pay my college bill though? 414 00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:49,960 And mom do my laundry and I need $20 on the way back. 415 00:19:50,120 --> 00:19:54,440 But I'm my own man, right? We feast and then we forget. 416 00:19:55,720 --> 00:20:00,520 See, going pros when you and I, we feast on the presence of God. 417 00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:04,480 Two questions for us today. I want to encourage you, as you 418 00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:09,120 journey through to this one, to do an examination of your life 419 00:20:09,120 --> 00:20:14,000 this week and recognize. And ask yourself the question, 420 00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:16,400 What are you feasting on the most in your life? 421 00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:19,680 Maybe just ask God that question. 422 00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:22,280 God, would you reveal to me what am I feasting on the most? 423 00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:26,360 This morning I'll get on my iPhone. 424 00:20:26,360 --> 00:20:29,680 I don't know about you. I'll get my notification of what 425 00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:32,840 I spent my time on on my phone. Every Sunday morning, the 426 00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:34,680 conviction of the Holy Spirit comes over me. 427 00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:36,200 Did I play that much Candy Crush? 428 00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:39,200 I didn't think I did right. You know, here's what happens is 429 00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:43,200 I begin to see what my time has spent on this week. 430 00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:44,640 I want to invite you to ask that question. 431 00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:46,440 God, what am I feasting on in my life? 432 00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:48,360 And then here's the second question I want to ask because 433 00:20:48,360 --> 00:20:50,880 sometimes we get really convicted, like, oh man, I'm 434 00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:53,760 wasting time. I'm just, I'm just scrolling on 435 00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:55,760 social media. I've got all these other things 436 00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:57,080 that I'm just wasting my time on. 437 00:20:57,280 --> 00:20:59,640 The second question I want you to ask yourself this week is 438 00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:03,760 this, We know we talk about fasting is about feasting, but 439 00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:06,240 it's this. Do you believe that God would 440 00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:12,520 actually want to feast with you? Here's what I know. 441 00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:17,320 I never ask anybody The dinner that probably doesn't want to 442 00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:20,960 eat dinner with me. We just don't ask him. 443 00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:24,080 I don't feel like getting rejected today. 444 00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:29,680 Did you know, all throughout scripture, here's the narrative 445 00:21:30,120 --> 00:21:36,000 God telling his people I'm your God and I have all that you 446 00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:38,480 need. Will you come to the table and 447 00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:41,640 meet with me? Psalm 23, one of the most famous 448 00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:45,760 Psalms that we know, hidden back there beyond how he walks with 449 00:21:45,760 --> 00:21:47,160 us through the valley of the shadow of death. 450 00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:51,720 David says this, and God prepares the table before me in 451 00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:54,760 the presence of my what? Anybody remember my enemies? 452 00:21:56,400 --> 00:21:59,200 Did you know that when you and I are facing enemies in our life, 453 00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:02,600 Jesus is saying, here's how you're going to navigate this. 454 00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:05,200 You come and you feast on my presence. 455 00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:08,360 Do you believe that Jesus actually wants to spend time 456 00:22:08,360 --> 00:22:10,720 with you? See, this is what begins to 457 00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:13,000 change our life. And here's the challenge that 458 00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:14,040 you're going to find in this book. 459 00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:15,560 I love this. And if you have complaints, 460 00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:17,520 don't call me, call Clayton, right. 461 00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:19,120 You know what I'm saying? I didn't write this right, but 462 00:22:19,120 --> 00:22:21,280 this is what I love about the challenge of this book. 463 00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:22,720 It's this. Here's one of the challenges. 464 00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:25,240 We've got two challenges for you this week to GoPro. 465 00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:29,880 The first one is this that you would block out a 10 hour window 466 00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:32,120 this week Where? And I'm going to encourage you 467 00:22:32,120 --> 00:22:34,640 not to do it alone. Maybe with your family maybe 468 00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:37,440 with your life group. It's this that you would spend a 469 00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:41,440 10 hour window fasting from food, if you're able. 470 00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:44,720 If physically you need to eat food within that window, by all 471 00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:47,160 means do it. But to spend 10 hours this week 472 00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:50,360 fasting, giving up food or along, and I would encourage 473 00:22:50,360 --> 00:22:53,240 giving up social media. And here's the deal. 474 00:22:54,160 --> 00:23:02,120 Make time to feast with Jesus. Make time somebody like. 475 00:23:02,120 --> 00:23:03,520 Well, Nate, I don't eat breakfast anyway. 476 00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:05,840 And I sleep from about 11:00 till eight. 477 00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:06,680 I'm done. I got. 478 00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:08,160 All right. Hey, if you don't do that, that 479 00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:08,920 doesn't count. All right? 480 00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:11,960 That didn't even count, right. I'm talking about giving up the 481 00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:16,560 food to say, God, we want you more than we want food. 482 00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:19,240 I remember 15 years ago, my wife Ruthie and I, we were in 483 00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:22,120 ministry in Bloomington, IL. We were doing youth ministry and 484 00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:24,760 I was just feeling released from God from that role. 485 00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:26,760 I didn't know what that meant. And there was another 486 00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:29,520 opportunity that came up to help another church and we were 487 00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:32,280 praying about it and we felt led to do it and but we were 488 00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:34,760 wrestling and do we go, we don't want to mess up, We don't want 489 00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:36,840 to mess up. And then like a last default 490 00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:39,080 idea was this, let's fast about it. 491 00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:42,320 So we committed, My wife and I, we committed to fast today, not 492 00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:43,640 even to talk about it. And then we'll come back 493 00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:45,720 together and we'll go, What did God say to you? 494 00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:48,480 Here's what he said to me. And so we spent a day fasting, 495 00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:50,600 and we came back. And here's what God told us it 496 00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:51,480 was. It was amazing. 497 00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:54,880 He told us the same thing. And this is what we came back. 498 00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:57,280 So did he tell you we should go? Yes or no? 499 00:23:57,280 --> 00:23:58,840 It's kind of like a love note in second grade. 500 00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:01,440 Just circle yes or no, Right. You know, Do we go? 501 00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:04,960 Do we not go? God, He told us the same thing. 502 00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:08,280 Here's what God's answer was to us. 503 00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:14,920 I want you to want me more than you want the answer. 504 00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:21,080 Yes or no. Do we go? 505 00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:28,720 Do we stay? I want you to want me more than 506 00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:34,320 you want your answer. Because, Nate, I am your answer. 507 00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:37,440 I am. The more that you're looking for 508 00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:41,120 your career, your calling, even if it's in ministry, Nate, it 509 00:24:41,120 --> 00:24:43,880 will not be enough for your soul. 510 00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:47,560 But I will. I am the more that you're 511 00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:50,000 looking for. We ended up moving, but that was 512 00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:56,000 a defining day for us. Too many times I made fasting a 513 00:24:56,000 --> 00:25:01,120 back burner emergency 911 rather than a priority to say God. 514 00:25:01,120 --> 00:25:04,240 More than anything else I'm doing, I need your presence. 515 00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:07,080 See what happens is when you and I begin to fast and we begin to 516 00:25:07,080 --> 00:25:09,080 go after the presence of God, here's what's going to happen. 517 00:25:09,720 --> 00:25:11,680 He's going to give us answers. He's going to speak to us. 518 00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:14,520 And it's not going to be what we expected, but it is going to be 519 00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:18,200 what you and I need. The number one thing we need is 520 00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:22,080 God's presence. This is why Sabbath is tied in 521 00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:24,280 with fasting in Isaiah chapter 58. 522 00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:27,520 This is what you see God doing. He combines fasting and Sabbath. 523 00:25:27,520 --> 00:25:29,720 These are not two separate ideas. 524 00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:33,320 These are the way for God's people to live out the ways of 525 00:25:33,320 --> 00:25:34,920 God and and and if we go man, what? 526 00:25:34,920 --> 00:25:37,040 What is Sabbath? Here's the the the the most 527 00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:39,080 simple way I can summarize what the Sabbath is. 528 00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:43,000 The Sabbath is this. It allows our souls to rest. 529 00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:46,600 The Sabbath is in the 10 commandments. 530 00:25:47,040 --> 00:25:48,560 Also. This is what's interesting about 531 00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:51,760 the Sabbath. It's the longest, most explained 532 00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:54,800 piece of the 10 commandments. And you know why? 533 00:25:55,120 --> 00:25:56,640 Because we don't know how to rest, do we? 534 00:25:57,600 --> 00:26:00,480 Because as the song goes, everybody's working for the what 535 00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:03,160 we can, baby. Come on, come on. 536 00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:05,200 Crossing family like you act like you haven't heard that 537 00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:06,840 song. You're like, we're we're in the 538 00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:08,520 House of the Lord. We don't listen to that music. 539 00:26:08,520 --> 00:26:09,960 I'm calling you out. Right. 540 00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:13,320 Everybody's working for the weekend, right? 541 00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:17,680 And this is what we're saying. We want, we want rest. 542 00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:21,520 We're hungry for rest. Some of you say this, though. 543 00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:23,080 Maybe your parents said this when you grew up. 544 00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:26,680 I'll rest when I'm what? Dead. 545 00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:31,160 We ain't resting. Can I tell you the quickest way 546 00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:38,480 for you to burn out? Don't rest, just keep going. 547 00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:42,800 See, This is why Sabbath was so key. 548 00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:46,680 And you want to know why. See, the 10 Commandments wasn't 549 00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:49,480 something that God introduced so people could slap you on the 550 00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:52,200 hand with rulers for not keeping them. 551 00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:55,920 You know what it was when the Israelites left Egypt after 400 552 00:26:55,920 --> 00:26:56,880 years? They didn't know how to be 553 00:26:56,880 --> 00:26:59,320 human. You know how many days a week 554 00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:01,760 they work? Seven. 555 00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:07,520 There was no rest. There was no delight. 556 00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:10,160 See, This is why you and I struggle. 557 00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:12,800 Even pastors struggle with this idea. 558 00:27:13,160 --> 00:27:15,960 We become workaholics because here's what happens. 559 00:27:16,080 --> 00:27:21,840 It becomes our identity. Sabbath is a gift from God to 560 00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:26,080 say I want you to rest in me and don't you love it? 561 00:27:26,520 --> 00:27:28,880 I mean, it's one of those things I can write a sermon, but you 562 00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:31,360 know what? Only God can make it 70° in 563 00:27:31,360 --> 00:27:34,120 February when we're talking about Sabbath, you have no 564 00:27:34,120 --> 00:27:37,320 excuse to delight in the glory of God, right? 565 00:27:37,320 --> 00:27:39,640 To walk out and go. Only you can do that. 566 00:27:39,640 --> 00:27:41,120 God. And here's what He's inviting 567 00:27:41,120 --> 00:27:45,760 you and I today to do is this. It's just simply delight to 568 00:27:45,760 --> 00:27:49,160 make, time to delight. Maybe tonight you and your 569 00:27:49,160 --> 00:27:51,320 family, you and your small group, man, you have a little 570 00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:54,880 campfire in your backyard and you and you roast hot dogs and 571 00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:57,320 you come together. Yesterday I played pickleball 572 00:27:57,320 --> 00:28:00,240 and I only won one game, and I still delighted in it. 573 00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:02,720 Thank you very much, Corey, for humbling me game after game, 574 00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:04,400 right? But it's one of those things, 575 00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:06,240 man. It was just a delight. 576 00:28:07,320 --> 00:28:10,000 And here's what God's saying, it's this, He's going Work is 577 00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:11,840 not a curse. But here's what we need to 578 00:28:11,840 --> 00:28:13,560 understand. Our work is cursed. 579 00:28:13,560 --> 00:28:17,880 That's what happened in Genesis, he said, Adam, now you're going 580 00:28:17,880 --> 00:28:20,600 to work and when you work, you're going to have thorns in 581 00:28:20,600 --> 00:28:22,400 your work. And not only that, he says this, 582 00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:25,720 you are going to, you're going to work by the sweat of your 583 00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:28,200 what brow. It doesn't mean that you're 584 00:28:28,200 --> 00:28:30,360 going to have hard work. What he's telling Adam is this. 585 00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:34,440 You were going to plant and guess what farmers in this room, 586 00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:37,480 you're going to plant and does every season. 587 00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:40,600 Do you get the fruit and the reward of everything you 588 00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:42,600 planted? No. 589 00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:49,360 And by the sweat of your brow, you're going to take the corn in 590 00:28:49,360 --> 00:28:51,640 and go, Oh my goodness, I hope we can pay the bills this year. 591 00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:58,760 See, This is why we need rest. And we need rest for our souls. 592 00:28:58,760 --> 00:29:00,080 You know what I find amazing? It's this. 593 00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:02,960 This is why God wants to rearrange everything in our 594 00:29:02,960 --> 00:29:03,560 life. It's this. 595 00:29:03,560 --> 00:29:07,440 Did you realize that in the creation order, God, when he 596 00:29:07,440 --> 00:29:11,480 created on day six, he created man, and then on day seven, God. 597 00:29:11,480 --> 00:29:15,800 What he rested. Which means this The first thing 598 00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:18,280 that Adam experienced wasn't work. 599 00:29:18,280 --> 00:29:24,160 But what rest is rest. You know what the first thing 600 00:29:24,360 --> 00:29:27,920 Jesus said to the disciples after he rose went to the cross 601 00:29:27,920 --> 00:29:31,280 and rose from the dead in John chapter 20, verse 19? 602 00:29:31,400 --> 00:29:33,200 You know what he said? The first thing he showed up, 603 00:29:33,760 --> 00:29:35,480 what he told him. Where did you all go? 604 00:29:35,760 --> 00:29:37,160 No, he didn't. But wouldn't that be amazing? 605 00:29:37,160 --> 00:29:38,520 Right? Like, like, I left, Right. 606 00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:41,080 They're locked in a room and they're and they're and they're 607 00:29:41,080 --> 00:29:42,760 afraid. And you know what he says? 608 00:29:42,760 --> 00:29:44,360 The first thing he says to him is this. 609 00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:47,280 He shows up, the doors locked. He walks behind the door. 610 00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:52,440 And this is what he says to him. He says peace be with you. 611 00:29:53,080 --> 00:29:55,360 You don't need to show a sign of hand or raise or anything. 612 00:29:55,440 --> 00:29:59,120 But I wonder how many people in this room and online today that 613 00:29:59,120 --> 00:30:02,720 is your deepest need. You need the peace of God and 614 00:30:02,720 --> 00:30:04,160 can I just encourage you with this. 615 00:30:04,760 --> 00:30:06,760 Rest is not found in your performance. 616 00:30:06,840 --> 00:30:09,200 Rest is not found in your personality. 617 00:30:09,320 --> 00:30:12,800 Rest is not found on how many connections you have or how much 618 00:30:12,800 --> 00:30:15,920 you have. Rest only comes from an empty 619 00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:19,120 tomb because this is what the creation order is and you know 620 00:30:19,120 --> 00:30:22,280 what new creation begins with. It begins with the resurrected 621 00:30:22,280 --> 00:30:24,680 Savior. See, your rest is not in you. 622 00:30:24,680 --> 00:30:31,080 Your rest is in Jesus. Matthew 12 says this Pharisees 623 00:30:31,080 --> 00:30:34,600 were arguing about the Sabbath because they saw Jesus and his 624 00:30:34,600 --> 00:30:37,800 disciples walking through and listen what happens in Matthew 625 00:30:37,800 --> 00:30:40,120 chapter 12. It says at that time Jesus went 626 00:30:40,120 --> 00:30:43,360 throughout the grain fields on his on the Sabbath and the 627 00:30:43,360 --> 00:30:45,480 disciples were hungry and they begin to pick some heads of 628 00:30:45,480 --> 00:30:47,440 grain and eat them. You are not supposed to work at 629 00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:50,920 all. But the Pharisees, they lost the 630 00:30:50,920 --> 00:30:54,040 spirit of the commandment and said when the Pharisees saw this 631 00:30:54,040 --> 00:30:56,920 they said to him, look, your disciples are doing what is 632 00:30:56,920 --> 00:31:00,720 unlawful on the Sabbath you're making a sandwich. 633 00:31:02,480 --> 00:31:06,040 Verse 8. Jesus has to correct him and he 634 00:31:06,040 --> 00:31:10,680 ends it with this. For the Son of Man is Lord of 635 00:31:10,680 --> 00:31:14,680 the what Sabbath. You have no rest without Jesus. 636 00:31:17,360 --> 00:31:18,920 That mean all your problems are going to go away. 637 00:31:21,480 --> 00:31:23,840 But the rest that your soul needs, the rest that you are 638 00:31:23,840 --> 00:31:28,000 longing for, the more that you're looking for, is only 639 00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:31,280 found in Jesus. Here's the challenge for you and 640 00:31:31,280 --> 00:31:32,280 I this week that you're going to find. 641 00:31:32,280 --> 00:31:34,440 Here's the second challenge. Not only is it to find a 10 hour 642 00:31:34,440 --> 00:31:36,720 window of this week to fast, the second one is this. 643 00:31:36,720 --> 00:31:39,160 That you and I would pick a day to Sabbath. 644 00:31:41,160 --> 00:31:43,040 How long has it been since you turned your phone off? 645 00:31:44,080 --> 00:31:45,120 Some of you just already started. 646 00:31:45,120 --> 00:31:48,880 Like I can't. I can't. 647 00:31:48,880 --> 00:31:50,360 I can't. I can't do that. 648 00:31:55,240 --> 00:31:59,840 How long has it been? See, the rest of Jesus isn't a 649 00:31:59,840 --> 00:32:02,680 reward. It's a gift. 650 00:32:03,960 --> 00:32:05,520 It's a gift that changes your work. 651 00:32:05,520 --> 00:32:06,960 It's a gift that goes into your family. 652 00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:09,160 It's a gift that goes into your soul. 653 00:32:09,920 --> 00:32:12,320 This is why Jesus says this in Matthew 11. 654 00:32:12,320 --> 00:32:14,960 He knows you and I are weary. He knows you and I are. 655 00:32:14,960 --> 00:32:17,440 You are yearning for more. We're going after everything. 656 00:32:17,440 --> 00:32:19,360 And listen what he says. He says Come to me. 657 00:32:21,120 --> 00:32:23,000 He didn't say, Get your life together, he says. 658 00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:28,080 Come to me, all of you who are weary and burdened, and I will 659 00:32:28,080 --> 00:32:32,080 give you rest. You don't need to earn it. 660 00:32:32,640 --> 00:32:36,080 Then he goes on to say this, take my yoke upon you and learn 661 00:32:36,080 --> 00:32:40,600 from the Walk with me, GoPro with me, for I am gentle and 662 00:32:40,600 --> 00:32:45,120 humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 663 00:32:45,200 --> 00:32:49,440 And he finishes by saying this, for my yoke is easy and my 664 00:32:49,440 --> 00:32:55,200 burden is light. Jesus is telling them in Matthew 665 00:32:55,200 --> 00:32:58,520 11 and he's telling you and I today I am. 666 00:32:58,520 --> 00:33:03,160 The more that you're looking for crossing family this week, may 667 00:33:03,160 --> 00:33:08,880 you feast with Jesus, may you rest in Jesus, and may your 668 00:33:08,880 --> 00:33:13,320 souls find the more that you're looking for. 669 00:33:13,720 --> 00:33:15,920 It's been an honor to be with you this weekend. 670 00:33:15,920 --> 00:33:18,240 We're moving to a time of decision. 671 00:33:25,480 --> 00:33:28,560 You know, I wonder how many people in this room right here, 672 00:33:28,920 --> 00:33:30,800 or for those of you who are watching online, if you were to 673 00:33:30,800 --> 00:33:34,240 be honest with yourself in this moment, in this invitation time, 674 00:33:34,240 --> 00:33:37,160 If you were to be honest with even me, just for just for a 675 00:33:37,160 --> 00:33:39,840 moment of just complete transparency. 676 00:33:40,400 --> 00:33:42,840 But most importantly, if you were to be honest with the Lord, 677 00:33:43,680 --> 00:33:48,520 with the Holy Spirit, who's working inside of you, who's so 678 00:33:48,520 --> 00:33:53,760 actively around this place, I wonder how many of you would say 679 00:33:54,040 --> 00:34:01,640 you are you're tired. You would say that when you 680 00:34:01,640 --> 00:34:06,040 walked into this room or you walked into the online space, 681 00:34:06,040 --> 00:34:11,000 you would say, I am carrying some heavy burdens. 682 00:34:13,320 --> 00:34:16,920 Not only are you carrying the burdens, but they are all around 683 00:34:16,920 --> 00:34:19,159 you. You you didn't have enough hands 684 00:34:19,159 --> 00:34:21,560 to carry them all throughout this auditorium. 685 00:34:21,760 --> 00:34:24,440 They're they're sitting on the chairs underneath the view. 686 00:34:24,440 --> 00:34:26,360 They're sitting on the chair next to you. 687 00:34:26,840 --> 00:34:30,560 The burdens are so heavy and you are feeling so restless. 688 00:34:30,560 --> 00:34:36,760 But I want to remind you that last scripture, where it says 689 00:34:36,920 --> 00:34:42,920 where the rest comes from, where those burdens can be laid, and 690 00:34:42,920 --> 00:34:46,760 it all comes and spurs out of an intimate, personal relationship 691 00:34:46,760 --> 00:34:50,719 with Jesus Christ. He says, come to me, come to me, 692 00:34:50,840 --> 00:34:52,280 come to Jesus. Not me. 693 00:34:52,480 --> 00:34:56,320 Jesus says come to me and I will give you rest. 694 00:34:56,320 --> 00:35:00,920 And that, my friends, that is what this moment is all about. 695 00:35:00,920 --> 00:35:03,120 That's what this moment is designed for. 696 00:35:04,240 --> 00:35:06,280 For those of you not in this room, or for those of you in 697 00:35:06,280 --> 00:35:09,000 this room that don't have that relationship with Jesus, listen, 698 00:35:09,200 --> 00:35:11,240 you've never surrendered your life to him. 699 00:35:12,760 --> 00:35:13,960 You've never opened up your heart. 700 00:35:13,960 --> 00:35:16,280 And you just said, hey, I'm going to, I'm going to be 701 00:35:16,400 --> 00:35:18,560 listening to your teaching. I'm going to be listening to 702 00:35:18,560 --> 00:35:20,680 your commandments. I want to be all about you. 703 00:35:20,680 --> 00:35:22,440 Listen. The burden that you brought into 704 00:35:22,440 --> 00:35:26,800 this room, the restlessness that you have right now, is yours to 705 00:35:26,800 --> 00:35:29,520 carry. And you'll walk out of this 706 00:35:29,520 --> 00:35:31,920 room. You'll walk back into your life. 707 00:35:32,520 --> 00:35:35,840 And without a relationship with Jesus, you will continue to 708 00:35:35,840 --> 00:35:38,600 carry that. You will continue to feel 709 00:35:38,600 --> 00:35:41,160 weighted down. You will continue to feel tired. 710 00:35:41,320 --> 00:35:48,080 You will continue to feel weary. But that can change in a moment. 711 00:35:49,040 --> 00:35:54,720 It can change in this moment. As soon as you say with your 712 00:35:54,720 --> 00:35:56,920 whole life, with your whole heart. 713 00:35:56,920 --> 00:36:01,840 I believe that Jesus is the Son of God, and I want to give my 714 00:36:01,920 --> 00:36:04,680 life to Him. I want to trust in His name. 715 00:36:04,840 --> 00:36:07,360 I want to give my burdens to Him. 716 00:36:07,440 --> 00:36:09,920 He will take it. He will say yes. 717 00:36:10,120 --> 00:36:13,520 You are my child, and I will gladly take those burdens. 718 00:36:13,520 --> 00:36:16,720 I will gladly take the sins that you have and I will put them 719 00:36:16,720 --> 00:36:20,440 upon myself. When you come to this 720 00:36:20,440 --> 00:36:25,120 realization that God's way is the best way and you start 721 00:36:25,120 --> 00:36:29,760 walking out that relationship with him, there is something 722 00:36:30,120 --> 00:36:32,760 incredibly freeing in that moment. 723 00:36:33,920 --> 00:36:38,680 But I know that there's some, or maybe even a lot of you. 724 00:36:39,720 --> 00:36:42,040 You don't know what that feeling feels like. 725 00:36:42,040 --> 00:36:43,960 You don't know what that commitment looks like. 726 00:36:43,960 --> 00:36:48,800 More importantly, But today you can say before you leave, I want 727 00:36:48,800 --> 00:36:53,600 to commit my life to Christ. I want to go pro in my faith in 728 00:36:53,600 --> 00:36:55,920 just a little bit. The music's going to start 729 00:36:55,920 --> 00:36:57,120 playing. We're going to sing a couple of 730 00:36:57,120 --> 00:37:02,360 songs, and it's an opportunity for you as a person to declare 731 00:37:02,360 --> 00:37:06,360 that truth, that Jesus is your savior and you could accept him 732 00:37:06,360 --> 00:37:08,600 and you could walk in that relationship with him. 733 00:37:08,600 --> 00:37:10,200 And I'm going to be right up by the Baptistry. 734 00:37:10,200 --> 00:37:13,080 And I would love to help guide you and talk with you and pray 735 00:37:13,080 --> 00:37:15,760 with you and figure things out. What's your next step and how do 736 00:37:15,760 --> 00:37:17,000 you do that? You're like, I don't know what 737 00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:18,120 to pray. I don't know what to do. 738 00:37:18,120 --> 00:37:21,880 I don't know what to say. Listen, I don't have all the 739 00:37:21,880 --> 00:37:25,360 answers, but Jesus does. But I would love to help guide 740 00:37:25,360 --> 00:37:28,120 you to him. He is the more that you're 741 00:37:28,120 --> 00:37:30,000 looking for. And I'm praying that you would 742 00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:33,000 take that decision serious today before you leave. 743 00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:37,200 For those of you in this room and online right now, you have 744 00:37:37,200 --> 00:37:41,800 that relationship with Christ and you're still feeling tired. 745 00:37:42,720 --> 00:37:46,720 You're still feeling like you're carrying these heavy burdens. 746 00:37:46,800 --> 00:37:51,000 Those things don't go away. But I wonder if we got away from 747 00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:54,840 resting in the right places. That's what I love. 748 00:37:54,840 --> 00:37:57,160 Also about this time of invitation. 749 00:37:58,000 --> 00:38:00,960 It's a recentering. It's a time where we can just 750 00:38:00,960 --> 00:38:03,800 say, hey, I'm, I have God's word. 751 00:38:03,800 --> 00:38:06,400 It's right in front of me and I got to hear it. 752 00:38:06,920 --> 00:38:08,560 I had this opportunity to worship. 753 00:38:10,040 --> 00:38:12,680 Now I need to make sure I'm committed to his mission. 754 00:38:12,680 --> 00:38:15,520 And one of the ways you can do that in just a little bit. 755 00:38:15,520 --> 00:38:19,080 When the music starts for you, these steps are open as always. 756 00:38:19,080 --> 00:38:22,400 You hear this week in and week out, and I get it sometimes, 757 00:38:22,400 --> 00:38:25,680 just like that's not for me, that's somebody else. 758 00:38:26,480 --> 00:38:28,800 If I go forward, I think people are going to think I have all 759 00:38:28,800 --> 00:38:31,680 these problems, all these issues they're going to think a lot of. 760 00:38:31,800 --> 00:38:34,320 It's not about that. Here's what these steps are 761 00:38:34,320 --> 00:38:36,920 about in these moments. It's about this saying, hey, 762 00:38:37,880 --> 00:38:44,520 spirit, I want to make room. I want to make room for you to 763 00:38:44,520 --> 00:38:48,480 do whatever you want to, to do whatever you want to. 764 00:38:48,680 --> 00:38:51,160 I know that I need to rest in your presence. 765 00:38:52,240 --> 00:38:54,960 That's what this time is, is an opportunity for you to get down 766 00:38:54,960 --> 00:38:59,760 on your knees, For me to get down on my knees and to rest in 767 00:38:59,760 --> 00:39:02,920 His presence, to start feasting with Jesus. 768 00:39:02,920 --> 00:39:06,320 Maybe that moment starts right now for you and for me. 769 00:39:08,280 --> 00:39:13,960 If I had to share a conviction that I've been feeling over this 770 00:39:13,960 --> 00:39:17,440 last couple weeks. It's an interaction that I've 771 00:39:17,440 --> 00:39:20,440 been having with a lot of people or or or people that I love. 772 00:39:20,440 --> 00:39:22,760 And and even you guys as my church family, you'll you'll 773 00:39:22,760 --> 00:39:25,920 come up to me and this again when I say this, this is nothing 774 00:39:25,920 --> 00:39:27,520 that you're doing. This is everything that I'm 775 00:39:27,520 --> 00:39:30,040 doing. But a lot of people come up to 776 00:39:30,040 --> 00:39:31,560 me and they'll say, hey, it'll start by this. 777 00:39:31,560 --> 00:39:34,440 They'll say, hey, Corey, I know you're busy. 778 00:39:34,440 --> 00:39:38,000 But hey, hey, Corey, hey, I know you're. 779 00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:39,200 I know you're busy but I just need to. 780 00:39:39,440 --> 00:39:41,120 But you'll start off by saying that. 781 00:39:41,120 --> 00:39:44,160 And the reason that conviction is so strong on my heart is 782 00:39:44,160 --> 00:39:50,760 because, listen, I want people to fully see the Holy Spirit 783 00:39:50,840 --> 00:39:52,880 working in and through me. And I think that's what you 784 00:39:52,880 --> 00:39:54,160 want. You don't want someone coming up 785 00:39:54,160 --> 00:39:56,880 to you and just already saying, hey, I see you and you're always 786 00:39:56,880 --> 00:39:59,040 busy, you're always moving, You're always going to the next 787 00:39:59,040 --> 00:40:01,440 thing. And the reason that hurts and 788 00:40:01,440 --> 00:40:05,120 convicts me is because I believe when I do that. 789 00:40:05,760 --> 00:40:09,720 It's a reflection of me rushing through my moments with Jesus 790 00:40:09,720 --> 00:40:11,720 too. I feel like that's my 791 00:40:11,720 --> 00:40:14,000 personality. I'm going to rush through my 792 00:40:14,000 --> 00:40:15,440 Bible time. I'm going to rush through my 793 00:40:15,440 --> 00:40:17,880 prayer time. I got things to do rather than 794 00:40:17,880 --> 00:40:22,920 just resting and feasting with Jesus, that I want people to see 795 00:40:22,920 --> 00:40:25,440 the work of the Holy Spirit moving in and through me. 796 00:40:26,120 --> 00:40:28,080 And I think you want that too as Christians. 797 00:40:28,680 --> 00:40:32,360 So maybe this time is an invitation for you as a church 798 00:40:32,360 --> 00:40:35,040 family. As we continue to take steps to 799 00:40:35,040 --> 00:40:37,960 GoPro together, what would it look like? 800 00:40:38,760 --> 00:40:41,560 What would it look like to have everybody in this room? 801 00:40:41,960 --> 00:40:45,680 I know that's going to be hard. There's not enough room. 802 00:40:45,720 --> 00:40:48,040 Where am I going to go? How can I do it? 803 00:40:48,040 --> 00:40:50,120 How can I make my way there? I got things I got to get to. 804 00:40:50,120 --> 00:40:52,320 But what would it look like is as a church family? 805 00:40:52,320 --> 00:40:54,880 We just said we're going to rest in his presence. 806 00:40:54,880 --> 00:40:57,640 We're going to get down on our knees and we're going to put 807 00:40:57,640 --> 00:41:01,200 everything else on pause. I'm going to say, Jesus, we're 808 00:41:01,640 --> 00:41:04,000 going to make room for you in this moment to do whatever you 809 00:41:04,000 --> 00:41:06,240 want to. I hope you'll join me in this 810 00:41:06,240 --> 00:41:08,040 time. Let's stand to our feet as we 811 00:41:08,040 --> 00:41:12,640 move to this time of invitation to come forward to rest. 812 00:41:14,400 --> 00:41:18,720 Jesus, we love you, God, I thank you so much for a weekend such 813 00:41:18,720 --> 00:41:22,160 as this, for your word and for this message to hit in such a 814 00:41:22,160 --> 00:41:26,080 timely way. God, I pray that in this moment 815 00:41:26,080 --> 00:41:31,840 of response, in this moment of worship, you call us to to do 816 00:41:31,840 --> 00:41:35,280 something about what we just heard, not to just sit on it to 817 00:41:35,280 --> 00:41:38,160 put into action. And Lord, I pray right now a 818 00:41:38,160 --> 00:41:41,840 tangible step, a tangible way to start resting in you, to start 819 00:41:41,840 --> 00:41:46,000 feasting with you is to come in your presence to lower ourselves 820 00:41:46,000 --> 00:41:49,440 before you to cry out to you, to just say, Lord, I don't even 821 00:41:49,440 --> 00:41:53,080 know what you want me to do and let you answer for us. 822 00:41:53,160 --> 00:41:55,880 Spirit, would you just move in this time, pray all this in 823 00:41:55,880 --> 00:41:57,280 Jesus name. Amen.
