How many of you think that Unity 29 00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:32,000 is something that we need to be working on right now. 30 00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:33,500 What do you think Emma? Can I see? 31 00:01:33,500 --> 00:01:35,600 Yeah, yeah, I get a witness for that. 32 00:01:35,700 --> 00:01:39,600 Yeah, Unity is something that's in short supply in our culture 33 00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:40,800 right now. Isn't that true? 34 00:01:41,100 --> 00:01:43,400 It really is. I mean, most of us would 35 00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:48,600 probably say, I don't know if it's ever been worse in my 36 00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:52,500 lifetime. And that is exactly why I'm so 37 00:01:52,500 --> 00:01:56,200 glad that Mark more is going to come and he's going to talk 38 00:01:56,200 --> 00:02:00,500 about unity and he's going to talk about like the difference 39 00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:05,600 that being part of the body of Christ can make it what it can 40 00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:09,800 actually do, and how it can change the world around us. 41 00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:12,800 I'm so excited about that. Now, Mark more is dr. 42 00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:17,000 Mark more and I had the privilege of going to school 43 00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:19,800 with Mark. He was a year behind me. 44 00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:23,000 In school, but ahead of me in every other way. 45 00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:29,800 But definitely a year behind me in school and Mark, when he was 46 00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:31,500 at school. Absolutely. 47 00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:35,000 Loved learning. I mean, I have never seen such a 48 00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:37,100 learning junkie. Every time I saw him, he was 49 00:02:37,100 --> 00:02:40,500 following a professor around like a puppy dog, and he was 50 00:02:40,500 --> 00:02:44,100 just trying to get the best they had and that's never changed 51 00:02:44,100 --> 00:02:46,800 that I don't think that's ever changed in your life. 52 00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:50,200 You've been that guy who's always been hungry to learn. 53 00:02:50,300 --> 00:02:53,100 Earn and that's where those degrees came from that desire. 54 00:02:53,100 --> 00:02:58,100 He's written some incredible books, one of the best books if 55 00:02:58,100 --> 00:03:01,700 not the best book that I've ever experienced with regards to the 56 00:03:01,700 --> 00:03:05,100 Life of Christ, the book of Acts incredible stuff. 57 00:03:05,100 --> 00:03:10,000 Well the reason that he's here speaking this week and next week 58 00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:14,100 is because of core 52. The series we've been going 59 00:03:14,100 --> 00:03:18,000 through these series from January, all through this year 60 00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:23,200 are all based on his book. 4:52 these 52 key verses and 61 00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:26,700 Theological Concepts that we can just nail down our lives. 62 00:03:26,700 --> 00:03:32,200 And I tell you, he has got such a passion for people to be in 63 00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:36,600 the word of the Lord, because when you are it changes people, 64 00:03:37,300 --> 00:03:40,300 it will change you. So I want you to give a 65 00:03:40,300 --> 00:03:43,300 Crossing, welcome at all of our locations to dr. 66 00:03:43,300 --> 00:03:45,100 Mark, Mark more. Come on up here. 67 00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:48,800 Love you brother. Love you too, man. 68 00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:54,500 Well, don't don't say this out loud because I don't want Jerry 69 00:03:54,500 --> 00:03:56,700 to get a big head, but I've been, I've been wanting to 70 00:03:56,700 --> 00:03:59,600 preach at this church for a long, long time. 71 00:03:59,900 --> 00:04:00,800 And it's a joy. You did. 72 00:04:00,900 --> 00:04:04,700 You guys came today ready, like, for church at my right? 73 00:04:04,900 --> 00:04:09,700 Come on, I had an experience. I wasn't even planning on saying 74 00:04:09,700 --> 00:04:11,000 this, in the message, but I like you. 75 00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:16,899 So, I will, when I was doing my, my last degree, I was living in 76 00:04:16,899 --> 00:04:20,399 Prague, and there was a group of women who had come Um, and 77 00:04:20,399 --> 00:04:24,000 visited from the Middle East. And I was headed out of the 78 00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:27,100 apartments where I was living was on the Seminary campus. 79 00:04:27,100 --> 00:04:31,600 And there was this line of women who had come all from Israel, 80 00:04:32,500 --> 00:04:36,800 half of them were Jewish. Half of them, were Arab, all of 81 00:04:36,808 --> 00:04:40,700 them were Christians. And when I was greeted by just 82 00:04:40,700 --> 00:04:42,700 going down the road, send where you where you from? 83 00:04:42,700 --> 00:04:44,100 She isn't. Well, I'm from Israel. 84 00:04:44,100 --> 00:04:45,500 I'm Arab. I'm from Israel. 85 00:04:45,500 --> 00:04:49,100 I'm Jewish. They literally Sat one after 86 00:04:49,100 --> 00:04:53,500 another intermingling together. CNN will never tell that story 87 00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:57,400 because the only peace in the Middle East. 88 00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:02,100 Is with Christians, the only Arabs and Jews that are getting 89 00:05:02,100 --> 00:05:04,300 along together are Christians and you know where that goes 90 00:05:04,300 --> 00:05:06,800 back to the first century church. 91 00:05:07,100 --> 00:05:10,700 So can we have a conversation about Unity of all the things 92 00:05:10,700 --> 00:05:14,100 that Christians should be experts in in our world for 93 00:05:14,100 --> 00:05:16,500 today? And to Jerry's already mentioned 94 00:05:16,500 --> 00:05:20,900 it, we are a divided nation. We of all people should have the 95 00:05:20,907 --> 00:05:24,600 loudest voice about Unity. So let me start with a story. 96 00:05:25,900 --> 00:05:28,700 Several weeks ago, I got a call. It's 9:30 at night. 97 00:05:28,700 --> 00:05:30,500 I was already in bed, don't judge me. 98 00:05:31,300 --> 00:05:35,400 So I ignored the call. And then a few minutes later my 99 00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:37,300 phone rang again. So I that why, I better see who 100 00:05:37,300 --> 00:05:38,600 it is and it was a friend of mine. 101 00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:42,600 Larry. So, I ignored him. 102 00:05:44,500 --> 00:05:46,400 I didn't say it was a good friend, and what he'd actually 103 00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:48,300 is a really good friend, but that wasn't bad. 104 00:05:48,300 --> 00:05:51,200 So I put the phone down. Come minutes later, it rings 105 00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:55,600 again. Larry Larry is in trouble, so I 106 00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:58,000 Larry's not his real name, by the way, but we're gonna call 107 00:05:58,000 --> 00:05:59,500 him Larry. I pick up the phone and said, 108 00:05:59,500 --> 00:06:04,700 oh, what's up? He was devastated crying grown, 109 00:06:04,700 --> 00:06:08,500 man, crying. He was two blocks from my house. 110 00:06:08,500 --> 00:06:12,000 He only lived four blocks from my house and the reason he was 111 00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:14,400 two blocks from my house is because he had wrecked his car 112 00:06:15,500 --> 00:06:18,300 and the Regency to wrecked. His car is that he and his wife, 113 00:06:18,300 --> 00:06:22,600 their marriage was in trouble, and they got in a huge blowout 114 00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:25,100 argument. Now Larry does not have a 115 00:06:25,100 --> 00:06:26,600 drinking problem, he's not a drunk. 116 00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:29,600 This was out of character for him, but every time his wife 117 00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:33,900 said something that made him mad to make her angrier, he just 118 00:06:33,900 --> 00:06:36,900 took shot. She made a lot of really good 119 00:06:36,900 --> 00:06:39,800 points in that argument. I'm just going to say that and 120 00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:42,300 it's so he's just like, you know, shooting a back doesn't 121 00:06:42,300 --> 00:06:45,900 even realize how drunk he is. She by the way, if you're 122 00:06:45,900 --> 00:06:48,700 arguing with the spouse, this is not the strategy. 123 00:06:48,700 --> 00:06:50,800 I would suggest if you want to win the argument. 124 00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:54,800 So he gets mad, he's going to go to a hotel, throw some things in 125 00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:58,100 a suitcase throws on the back of the car and he just guns it out 126 00:06:58,100 --> 00:07:00,600 of the neighborhood. He almost made it out of the 127 00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:04,100 neighborhood. He missed the curve but hit the 128 00:07:04,100 --> 00:07:07,300 curb with up into the I live in Phoenix. 129 00:07:07,300 --> 00:07:11,500 By the way it went into the desert and he hit a saguaro 130 00:07:11,500 --> 00:07:14,800 cactus. Those are the big ones with the 131 00:07:14,808 --> 00:07:18,300 big arms. They're exactly like dogwoods 132 00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:21,900 that white flowers. What just on the top, not like 133 00:07:21,900 --> 00:07:25,300 all over and they don't have any leaves and they all have a lot 134 00:07:25,300 --> 00:07:27,000 of spiky things. But other than that they're 135 00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:32,600 exactly like dogwoods, he hits one of those, which You don't do 136 00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:34,400 that. You don't mess with the Saguaro 137 00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:39,300 like where we live their sacred. And so the neighbor said he told 138 00:07:39,300 --> 00:07:42,500 his car, he can't go anywhere, he can't go back home because he 139 00:07:42,500 --> 00:07:45,100 already burned that bridge. So there he is on the side of 140 00:07:45,100 --> 00:07:48,200 the curb and somebody called the cops because somebody ran into a 141 00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:51,100 saguaro so three squad cars, come and he still sit on the 142 00:07:51,108 --> 00:07:54,600 side of the road and they want to give him a breathalyzer. 143 00:07:55,700 --> 00:08:01,000 Well, my friend Larry's black, he grew up in a ghetto like gang 144 00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:04,700 banging ghetto and he made it out through his athletic 145 00:08:04,700 --> 00:08:06,800 abilities. A phenomenal College athlete. 146 00:08:06,900 --> 00:08:10,200 He got a lot of praise and accolades from that, and then he 147 00:08:10,300 --> 00:08:13,100 he's actually right now, an executive for American Express, 148 00:08:13,700 --> 00:08:18,400 we're talking about a highly educated a high-paid executive. 149 00:08:19,300 --> 00:08:22,900 Who's afraid of the cops? I don't even care what your 150 00:08:22,900 --> 00:08:24,900 opinion is on that, because that's not my experience. 151 00:08:24,900 --> 00:08:26,400 I'm not black. I'm not had to live through 152 00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:28,600 that. This is his experience, his 153 00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:31,600 fear, and the police officers there. 154 00:08:31,700 --> 00:08:33,400 He said, I don't want you to breathalyze me without a 155 00:08:33,408 --> 00:08:35,200 witness. My pastor lives, were just right 156 00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:36,700 around the corner, I'm going to call him and have him. 157 00:08:36,700 --> 00:08:39,600 Come they said. Well, what church you go to and 158 00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:42,700 he said, well Christ Church of the Valley and the sergeant said 159 00:08:42,700 --> 00:08:46,200 me to, he's my pastor to. So it's going to call Pastor. 160 00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:49,500 Mark, have him come as I walk the Blocks. 161 00:08:49,500 --> 00:08:52,300 And there he was, they explained the situation is okay. 162 00:08:52,300 --> 00:08:55,100 Well, let's do the breathalyzer he was drunk. 163 00:08:55,500 --> 00:08:59,200 There's just no denying it. So they put handcuffs on him. 164 00:08:59,300 --> 00:09:04,500 He was so ashamed. So embarrassed and they put him 165 00:09:04,500 --> 00:09:08,100 in the back of the squad car. So I helped the officers clean 166 00:09:08,100 --> 00:09:11,700 out the car because this total is going to be pulled out. 167 00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:14,400 So we got everything, he possessed out of the car kids 168 00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:16,800 car seats and we took them over to the house. 169 00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:21,600 And by the time I came back, the sergeant said, our would you be 170 00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:24,400 able to stick around for about 15 more minutes? 171 00:09:24,700 --> 00:09:27,900 Absolutely been there about 45, they were going to take him down 172 00:09:27,900 --> 00:09:29,900 to the station. I'm just going to have to go get 173 00:09:29,900 --> 00:09:33,500 him about two in the morning and the sergeant came back. 174 00:09:33,500 --> 00:09:38,700 He made a decision I've never I don't know about law enforcement 175 00:09:38,700 --> 00:09:42,400 so I'm not an expert in this. But the decision he made was 176 00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:47,300 that Larry would be better and our community would be better in 177 00:09:47,300 --> 00:09:50,300 the hands of a pastor than in the system. 178 00:09:51,700 --> 00:09:54,500 So he pulled Larry out, he took the handcuffs off and he said, 179 00:09:54,500 --> 00:09:56,900 Larry, I know you're driving the car. 180 00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:00,300 You told me you're driving the car, but I didn't see you drive 181 00:10:00,300 --> 00:10:02,600 the car, so when our country you're innocent until proven 182 00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:07,400 guilty, So I'm going to release you to your pastor and you know 183 00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:10,100 why I'm like he couldn't say it out loud but he said, you know, 184 00:10:10,100 --> 00:10:13,600 I'm doing this. So I took Larry to my house, I 185 00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:16,400 laid him on the couch. I took us took his shoes off and 186 00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:18,300 for about two hours, he just whimpered. 187 00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:21,800 Finally fell asleep about two in the morning. 188 00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:23,700 I woke him up. Put a shoes back on him and 189 00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:29,400 walked him to his house. But it's bothered me, why? 190 00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:34,800 A man of his stature. Would be so riled up. 191 00:10:39,100 --> 00:10:41,800 When we've really we have come, we have come a long way. 192 00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:43,700 Haven't we and racial reconciliation? 193 00:10:43,700 --> 00:10:45,400 Now, I'm not saying we don't have a long way to go. 194 00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:47,400 We do. But why? 195 00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:54,200 Now, why this year has such tension exploded but don't press 196 00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:56,600 pause on that thought. Come on, come over to the 197 00:10:56,600 --> 00:11:02,600 political scene. Hello, it's no different between 198 00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:05,500 Republicans and Democrats. This why? 199 00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:12,500 Now Why here where is there? Such explosion and what I'm 200 00:11:12,500 --> 00:11:15,400 about to say. I'm not justifying like I'm not 201 00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:18,700 making excuses for anything but I will tell you this, there is a 202 00:11:18,708 --> 00:11:25,000 scientific reason, why we are so spun up about everything, it 203 00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:28,600 doesn't matter what the issue is on the table, it could be black 204 00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:31,100 lives matter, it could be blue lives matter. 205 00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:33,300 It could be Republicans, it could be Democrats. 206 00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:37,700 It could be CNN or Fox News but let me tell you What is making 207 00:11:37,700 --> 00:11:42,300 the problem way worse than it needs to be anyone? 208 00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:45,000 You can, like raise your hand on all our campuses. 209 00:11:45,100 --> 00:11:51,300 Anyone seen the social dilemma? That that documentary on Netflix 210 00:11:51,300 --> 00:11:56,400 messed me up because what they showed is they are algorithms in 211 00:11:56,400 --> 00:12:00,700 every social media platform. If you're on Google, if you're 212 00:12:00,700 --> 00:12:03,700 on Facebook or on Instagram, no matter where, if you're on 213 00:12:03,700 --> 00:12:07,600 Netflix, wherever you go, there's an algorithm that knows 214 00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:12,300 you better than you know you and there's one scene where the 215 00:12:12,300 --> 00:12:15,400 algorithms were personified. So they had three guys in a 216 00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:19,700 studio, there's all kinds of buttons and knobs And TV 217 00:12:19,700 --> 00:12:23,500 screens, and they're studying this one user, and he's there 218 00:12:23,500 --> 00:12:26,500 looking on his phone. And they're basically saying, 219 00:12:26,500 --> 00:12:30,500 okay, how can we keep him on his phone as long as possible so 220 00:12:30,500 --> 00:12:34,500 that he will buy more that is what the social dilemma is all 221 00:12:34,500 --> 00:12:39,200 about and they have mastered it and the, more your online, the 222 00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:43,000 better they get at keeping you online, they know what buttons 223 00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:47,700 to push, they know what adds to give you, but the consequence of 224 00:12:47,700 --> 00:12:51,700 that It is they know what you want to hear. 225 00:12:52,700 --> 00:12:55,300 So, you go online and you Google something. 226 00:12:55,500 --> 00:12:58,300 If I Google something and you Google, something, you will get 227 00:12:58,300 --> 00:13:02,200 different results because they know what you want to hear. 228 00:13:02,900 --> 00:13:06,500 So the consequence is we're all hearing, what we want to hear, 229 00:13:06,700 --> 00:13:09,000 and we think that everybody's hearing the same thing and we're 230 00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:14,100 not So someone watches Fox News, the other person watches MSNBC 231 00:13:14,700 --> 00:13:17,300 and the person who watches MSNBC is, I can't believe those people 232 00:13:17,300 --> 00:13:20,100 are so stupid that they don't know this and the people 233 00:13:20,100 --> 00:13:22,600 watching fox say, but I can't believe you're so stupid, you've 234 00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:25,100 never heard this. So our families like 235 00:13:25,100 --> 00:13:29,300 Thanksgiving for me is a terrible time now, anyone else 236 00:13:30,100 --> 00:13:32,400 you just can't even be in the same room with these people 237 00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:37,400 because they're so stupid. And we're convinced that we have 238 00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:39,900 all the information and everybody else is somehow 239 00:13:39,900 --> 00:13:42,800 mentally deficient, what has happened? 240 00:13:42,900 --> 00:13:44,500 Please hear me say this on all our campus. 241 00:13:44,500 --> 00:13:46,800 This is so important. Some of you got, what does this 242 00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:50,800 have to do with the Bible? You're about to find out, we are 243 00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:53,400 past the point of civil discourse. 244 00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:59,000 We are now incapable of having a conversation with another person 245 00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:04,300 because everyone has in their ear, what they want to hear, and 246 00:14:04,300 --> 00:14:08,600 everybody else is wrong. We cannot have a civil 247 00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:11,900 conversation, that's why more than ever. 248 00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:15,300 The Church of Jesus Christ. Has to be. 249 00:14:15,500 --> 00:14:19,500 Please hear me? Say this has to be the source of 250 00:14:19,500 --> 00:14:24,500 unity in our nation or God help us because nobody else is. 251 00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:27,900 So I'm going to share two passages of scripture with you. 252 00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:31,700 One will tell you why the problem is worse than you think, 253 00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:33,600 or more important than you think. 254 00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:36,100 And the other is going to give you an actual solution. 255 00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:39,600 How can you create? Dirty, this will work in your 256 00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:42,400 Bridge Club. This will work on your sports 257 00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:44,800 team. This will work in your church. 258 00:14:44,900 --> 00:14:46,600 This will work in your community. 259 00:14:46,700 --> 00:14:50,400 It's the same strategy, it's God's strategy for Unity texture 260 00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:54,300 here scripture number one, this comes from the life of Jesus. 261 00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:58,200 In fact, for the last night of his life, he prays a prayer 262 00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:00,400 longest prayer of Jesus recorded in the Bible. 263 00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:05,000 John 17, the whole chapter is one prayer, we get down to verse 264 00:15:05,500 --> 00:15:09,500 20, and Jesus. Says he's talking to God, I do 265 00:15:09,500 --> 00:15:12,800 not ask for these alone but also for those who will believe in me 266 00:15:12,900 --> 00:15:17,200 through their word that they may all be one just as you father 267 00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:23,100 are in me and I in you that they also may be in us so that listen 268 00:15:23,100 --> 00:15:27,100 so that the world may believe that you have sent me. 269 00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:34,200 How we doing? The guy drove up Main Street in 270 00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:37,800 Quincy Illinois. And I noticed all the different 271 00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:44,500 churches along that corridor. How we doing with unity pretty 272 00:15:44,500 --> 00:15:49,000 poorly. If the church cannot be unified, 273 00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:54,800 how will the world know, the one God that we know brothers and 274 00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:57,600 sisters? I'm laying down the gauntlet. 275 00:15:57,700 --> 00:16:02,200 If we don't stand together as body of Believers, I expect the 276 00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:04,200 world to be at each other's throat. 277 00:16:04,500 --> 00:16:08,500 I expect the world to hate each other, I expect politicians to 278 00:16:08,500 --> 00:16:11,500 undercut each other. I don't expect it in the church 279 00:16:12,100 --> 00:16:16,600 and if the church forfeits are Divine, Right are divine. 280 00:16:16,700 --> 00:16:20,200 When responsibility to be the unity of God in our world, how 281 00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:23,600 will we ever have Unity across any other divided? 282 00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:26,800 Economic, gender, cultural or ethnic? 283 00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:30,800 This is our responsibility and we need to get better at it. 284 00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:34,800 In fact, let me share something else with you and this is going 285 00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:37,300 to sound heretical. So save your darts till later. 286 00:16:39,900 --> 00:16:44,600 God said, yes to the prayer. Jesus said, Lord, may they be 287 00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:47,400 one in us as I am in you and you are in me. 288 00:16:47,500 --> 00:16:50,100 May they be what God Said? Yes. 289 00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:57,600 You said, no. This is the only prayer that 290 00:16:57,600 --> 00:17:01,600 Jesus ever prayed that you are more capable of answering than 291 00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:05,300 God, the Father. It sounds like them. 292 00:17:05,300 --> 00:17:07,400 How can you even say that? Because God answers all prayers. 293 00:17:07,700 --> 00:17:09,200 Nope. God Gave You Free Will. 294 00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:14,900 And you have the free will to be unified or not to be unified if 295 00:17:14,900 --> 00:17:17,400 you're on one of our campuses. And you have a division with 296 00:17:17,500 --> 00:17:20,599 another group, or another group of people, this is on you. 297 00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:23,900 And the stakes are higher than your personal preference for 298 00:17:23,900 --> 00:17:27,000 your political position, or your cultural background. 299 00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:32,200 The stakes are this, that there are lost people who will go to 300 00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:34,900 hell because you you can't get along. 301 00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:39,100 Your opinion is not that important. 302 00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:42,500 It's certainly not as important as the unity of the church and 303 00:17:42,500 --> 00:17:46,700 it is certainly not as important as the salvation of people who 304 00:17:46,700 --> 00:17:50,900 will not come to Christ. If the church continues to be 305 00:17:50,900 --> 00:17:54,900 divided is that important? So that's how high that's all 306 00:17:54,900 --> 00:17:57,600 Hiatus. Okay, so let's let's actually 307 00:17:57,600 --> 00:18:03,500 talk about the solution to this. The Apostle Paul makes a 308 00:18:03,500 --> 00:18:06,500 statement in Galatians 3:28 Eight. 309 00:18:06,500 --> 00:18:10,200 There is neither Jew, nor Greek. There is neither slave nor free. 310 00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:13,600 There is neither male nor female for you are all one in Christ. 311 00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:18,900 Paul said that in the first century when racism was Far 312 00:18:18,900 --> 00:18:24,300 deeper than it is today in our country, then sexism and ageism 313 00:18:24,300 --> 00:18:28,100 and economic divide was far greater than in our nation right 314 00:18:28,100 --> 00:18:30,600 now. Do you know that in all of the 315 00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:34,600 Roman world? There was one organization and 316 00:18:34,700 --> 00:18:39,600 only one that had male and female rich, and poor slave and 317 00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:44,800 free Citizen and non-citizen in one room at the same time. 318 00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:51,600 My son is a is a family pastor at a little church in Loganville 319 00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:55,000 Georgia called Corinth, Christian Church, go Rams, 320 00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:59,800 Christian Church. Clayton, I have no idea why you 321 00:18:59,800 --> 00:19:03,000 would ever name a church Corinth Christian Church, like of all 322 00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:04,900 the shirts with each other. This church is more screwed up 323 00:19:04,900 --> 00:19:07,800 than any other shirts. You know why? 324 00:19:10,100 --> 00:19:12,200 Because they had more diversity than any other Church. 325 00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:16,600 They had rich and poor slave and free different ethnicities. 326 00:19:17,500 --> 00:19:19,500 And I just want to commend this church. 327 00:19:19,700 --> 00:19:22,100 When I said earlier that I've been longing to preach at this 328 00:19:22,100 --> 00:19:25,300 church. That's that's not Hyperbole. 329 00:19:26,100 --> 00:19:30,700 And one of the reasons is there is no church reaching that I 330 00:19:30,700 --> 00:19:34,600 know of reaching a greater diversity of Economics. 331 00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:38,900 Did you know that on your campuses you have This is 332 00:19:38,900 --> 00:19:41,800 unbelievable. There's greater ethnic diversity 333 00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:44,300 on your campuses than in the communities, where you live. 334 00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:50,100 That is really cool. So it's not it's not all bad. 335 00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:52,500 In fact as I travel around the country, when I see other 336 00:19:52,500 --> 00:19:57,600 churches, the church is doing better than ever at diversity. 337 00:19:58,400 --> 00:20:01,500 You know, why that is? I'm about to show you. 338 00:20:01,500 --> 00:20:05,700 This is a this is a passage from Ephesians chapter 4. 339 00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:12,100 It says get to it. Here there is one body and one 340 00:20:12,100 --> 00:20:16,200 Spirit just as you were called in one hope that belongs to your 341 00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:20,100 call one Lord, one faith. With one baptism, one God and 342 00:20:20,100 --> 00:20:22,800 Father of all, who is over all and through all, and in all. 343 00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:27,000 And let me just pause there for a second and say, the only hope 344 00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:30,700 for Unity and I don't care what your religious background is or 345 00:20:30,708 --> 00:20:32,100 what your cultural background is. 346 00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:36,900 The only time human beings are naturally unified is when there 347 00:20:36,900 --> 00:20:40,700 are something above their differences, that is more 348 00:20:40,700 --> 00:20:43,400 important than their personal preferences. 349 00:20:44,100 --> 00:20:47,500 Can I say that again? The only time you will have 350 00:20:47,500 --> 00:20:50,900 Unity T in humanity is when there are something above their 351 00:20:50,900 --> 00:20:54,000 differences, that is more important to them than their 352 00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:56,500 preferences. Let me give you two examples, 353 00:20:57,300 --> 00:21:01,600 football fields, not the locker room football fields, when 354 00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:04,100 you're playing in a football game, let's say you get to the 355 00:21:04,100 --> 00:21:07,800 championship, I don't care what color your quarterback is, what 356 00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:10,300 color? The receivers are the only color 357 00:21:10,300 --> 00:21:14,800 you care about is the Jersey. Because if you can help me win, 358 00:21:15,100 --> 00:21:18,700 I might hate you in the locker room, but when we have a goal, 359 00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:21,100 that's bigger than our differences, that's more 360 00:21:21,100 --> 00:21:24,400 important than our preferences. Then we will drive to that goal 361 00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:29,200 together, so the athletic field and then the battlefield, I 362 00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:32,900 don't care. What color your skin is, I count 363 00:21:32,900 --> 00:21:36,200 care what color your uniform is. I care what direction, your gun 364 00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:41,400 is pointing and when the church points their guns at each other, 365 00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:44,100 It's because we've forgotten who the real enemy is. 366 00:21:45,300 --> 00:21:47,600 We've got to do better than our culture around us. 367 00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:51,200 Listen, they don't have the Holy Spirit, they don't have the word 368 00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:53,900 of God. They don't have access to the 369 00:21:53,900 --> 00:21:58,700 wisdom and Truth through which Unity will take place. 370 00:21:58,700 --> 00:22:02,900 So if you care about different ethnicities and you do, I know 371 00:22:02,900 --> 00:22:06,000 you do, if you care about different genders and you do, I 372 00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:10,100 know you do, if you care about different economics and I know 373 00:22:10,100 --> 00:22:13,900 you do, you're putting it into practice as a church then for 374 00:22:13,900 --> 00:22:17,200 God's sake. Make sure that there's one Lord 375 00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:21,900 in this church so that all people will have equal access to 376 00:22:21,900 --> 00:22:23,900 our great. God, fair enough. 377 00:22:24,300 --> 00:22:31,800 Okay. That's the easy part. here's the 378 00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:38,200 hard part, how God has a brilliant but simple strategy 379 00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:42,400 for Unity and it is I'm going to keep reading in the verse if I 380 00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:46,900 could just read verse 7, but Grace was given to each one of 381 00:22:46,900 --> 00:22:48,400 us. According to the measure of 382 00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:52,300 Christ's gift, it's called spiritual gifts down. 383 00:22:52,300 --> 00:22:55,500 In verse 11, he's going to start identifying some of the very 384 00:22:55,500 --> 00:23:00,000 specific gifts prophecy teaching speaking in tongues. 385 00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:02,800 You've heard about the gifts of the holy spirit, right? 386 00:23:03,500 --> 00:23:05,500 If you Look through all the New Testament. 387 00:23:05,500 --> 00:23:07,700 This is my professor hat coming on. 388 00:23:07,700 --> 00:23:11,300 Now there are three passages that lists. 389 00:23:11,300 --> 00:23:16,200 The gifts, Ephesians 4, Romans 12. 390 00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:19,000 First Corinthians 12, put them all together. 391 00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:23,800 Take every every item on every lift you get 16 different gifts 392 00:23:23,900 --> 00:23:27,800 of the Holy Spirit. So what people tend to do is 393 00:23:27,800 --> 00:23:30,000 they will combine the list and they'll give you a survey and 394 00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:33,500 say which of these gifts are your spiritual gifts problem. 395 00:23:34,300 --> 00:23:36,100 Your gift might not be on the list. 396 00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:41,000 Here's why the list in the Bible we're never intended to be 397 00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:43,700 complete lists. It's not like a pilot, checking 398 00:23:43,700 --> 00:23:46,000 the list to take off the plane. I want him to have a complete 399 00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:49,600 list, trust me. But the list of say, the 400 00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:53,200 requirement for elders, we have a different list in Titus than 401 00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:56,300 we do in first Timothy. Where they different 402 00:23:56,300 --> 00:23:59,400 qualifications. No the list is a portrait to be 403 00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:02,600 painted. The list of sins in Colossians 3 404 00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:04,500 is different than in First Corinthians. 405 00:24:04,500 --> 00:24:06,500 Is it mean that they're different things going on in 406 00:24:06,500 --> 00:24:10,100 those to know it's a portrait being painted? 407 00:24:10,500 --> 00:24:12,700 Is this make sense the fruit of the spirit? 408 00:24:12,700 --> 00:24:15,500 So it's absolutely, that's not the only fruit of the spirit so 409 00:24:15,500 --> 00:24:18,600 the gift. Let me, let me list to you. 410 00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:22,100 Several gifts that are not in the Bible, but we all agree 411 00:24:22,100 --> 00:24:25,000 their spiritual gifts. Here's one music. 412 00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:30,300 Would anybody disagree that the musicians on our stages on your 413 00:24:30,300 --> 00:24:33,300 campus? Those musicians were gifted by 414 00:24:33,300 --> 00:24:36,700 God to lead you to his throne. No, it's pretty clear. 415 00:24:36,700 --> 00:24:39,500 How about counselors God knows we need them. 416 00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:43,900 And I'm not one of them, the not my gift but we need them. 417 00:24:44,500 --> 00:24:48,800 It's never listen to the Bible. Humour, I happen to think I'm 418 00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:52,900 hilarious and your opinion doesn't really matter much to me 419 00:24:52,900 --> 00:24:55,300 about that. I think I'm funny other might 420 00:24:55,300 --> 00:24:57,800 disagree. But humor is never in a 421 00:24:57,808 --> 00:25:01,500 spiritual gift list in the Bible but Solomon said laughter is 422 00:25:01,500 --> 00:25:04,900 good medicine. So apparently Clayton is a 423 00:25:04,900 --> 00:25:10,700 doctor, amen. Do you know what? 424 00:25:10,700 --> 00:25:13,900 The very first spiritual gift was ever given not in the New 425 00:25:13,900 --> 00:25:16,500 Testament. The Old Testament, the first 426 00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:20,400 spiritual gift ever given was to a guy named bozell. 427 00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:26,900 He's listed in Exodus and his his specific gift in Exodus 31 428 00:25:26,900 --> 00:25:29,900 to through. Five is to construct the 429 00:25:29,900 --> 00:25:35,100 Tabernacle of God, he was gifted with color coordination working 430 00:25:35,100 --> 00:25:38,700 with different fabrics and materials, arranging faith. 431 00:25:38,700 --> 00:25:42,200 I Bizet Le was alive today. He would be on HGTV. 432 00:25:43,800 --> 00:25:51,000 The guy just has the touch. Some of you are gifted at the 433 00:25:51,008 --> 00:25:53,600 interior design and you never believed it was a spiritual 434 00:25:53,600 --> 00:25:57,000 gift. So how could you know this is an 435 00:25:57,000 --> 00:25:59,600 important question. How could you know your 436 00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:03,100 spiritual gift if it's not listed in the Bible? 437 00:26:03,500 --> 00:26:07,600 All right, huddle up here, I'm going to tell you in 15 seconds. 438 00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:10,200 You can time me. When I say go, 15 seconds. 439 00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:13,700 I'm going to tell you how to know for sure, what your 440 00:26:13,700 --> 00:26:16,200 spiritual gift is, you ready? Go. 441 00:26:17,900 --> 00:26:22,000 Walk into a room. Look around. 442 00:26:23,900 --> 00:26:29,200 See what needs to be done that you could do with excellence and 443 00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:34,000 would want to do That's your spiritual gift. 444 00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:37,800 Yummy say it again, walk into a room. 445 00:26:38,800 --> 00:26:43,200 See what you notice that others don't notice that you want to do 446 00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:46,200 and could do with Excellence. That's your spiritual gift. 447 00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:50,800 Now in that simple statement are a couple of really important 448 00:26:50,800 --> 00:26:53,200 truths. Some of you are saying, well, 449 00:26:53,300 --> 00:26:55,400 you know, I've always been good at this. 450 00:26:55,400 --> 00:26:57,700 Maybe I've always had a knack for speaking. 451 00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:00,100 I've always had a knack for interior design. 452 00:27:00,100 --> 00:27:01,800 I've always had a knack with numbers. 453 00:27:01,900 --> 00:27:04,800 That's not a spiritual gift, that's a natural gift time. 454 00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:09,800 Out. There are some gifts that I just 455 00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:11,700 believe. Some of them are Oculus gifts. 456 00:27:11,700 --> 00:27:17,000 The holy spirit gives after your baptized And we see people who 457 00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:20,500 maybe spoke in tongues or people in the Bible who prophesied or 458 00:27:20,500 --> 00:27:24,900 whatever they did, but the vast majority are spiritual gifts, 459 00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:30,700 not given at baptism, but given at Birth, they are natural gifts 460 00:27:30,700 --> 00:27:33,900 at Birth, that become spiritual gifts. 461 00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:38,100 Not when the spirit gives them to you, but when you give them 462 00:27:38,500 --> 00:27:43,700 back to the spirit, Paul makes a statement that all spiritual 463 00:27:43,700 --> 00:27:49,200 gifts are to serve the body, they're intended to be given to 464 00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:52,400 the body. And if you're not serving some 465 00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:54,400 with your, with your gift, it's not spiritual. 466 00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:58,500 It's just a natural ability, but the minute you give your natural 467 00:27:58,500 --> 00:28:02,900 ability to the body of Christ. It becomes a spiritual gift. 468 00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:05,200 That should encourage some of you because some of you have 469 00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:06,800 been saying, well, and I want to serve the church. 470 00:28:06,800 --> 00:28:09,500 I want to do this, but I just don't know if this is like 471 00:28:09,500 --> 00:28:11,600 maybe, you know, I'm good with cooking. 472 00:28:11,900 --> 00:28:15,200 Are you kidding me? Do you know that every meal in 473 00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:19,600 the entire Bible is spiritual? That's that, is it, you could 474 00:28:19,600 --> 00:28:24,800 turn your dinner table into an altar for God, to do his work in 475 00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:29,000 somebody else's life, you can use your ability with making 476 00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:31,600 money. That is a spiritual gift. 477 00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:36,200 But think about this, the making of money, there's some people 478 00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:40,500 that are just as good at it. If you think that God gave you 479 00:28:40,500 --> 00:28:44,100 that gift, because he likes you, you'll spend the money on you. 480 00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:49,500 God never gave you a gift because he likes you, he gave 481 00:28:49,500 --> 00:28:51,700 you a gift because he loves someone else. 482 00:28:52,700 --> 00:28:56,800 And he wants to love someone else through you and here's what 483 00:28:56,800 --> 00:28:59,700 happens. If all of us had all the gifts, 484 00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:02,200 none of us would be dependent on each other. 485 00:29:03,200 --> 00:29:07,600 But when the Holy Spirit decided to withhold all the gifts but 486 00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:11,100 one or two from everyone else, but you like you have your gift 487 00:29:11,100 --> 00:29:13,400 and everyone else has their gift. 488 00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:16,800 Suddenly you get in the room and you go, I need that. 489 00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:20,400 I need your help with that. And I become dependent on you 490 00:29:20,400 --> 00:29:25,400 and you become dependent on me and we become dependent on them. 491 00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:31,800 The idea of mutual service for Mutual dependence. 492 00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:35,200 So that all of us Us could make the name of Jesus famous. 493 00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:39,700 That is how Unity is built in our community. 494 00:29:39,700 --> 00:29:46,400 And so one of the things that I have loved seeing through this 495 00:29:46,400 --> 00:29:49,800 church, in particular, is the way that you have just poured 496 00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:52,600 into the community and said, we're going to be a church that 497 00:29:52,600 --> 00:29:55,800 focuses on reaching people in our community who are hurting, 498 00:29:55,800 --> 00:29:57,700 who are lost, who are poor, who are hungry. 499 00:29:57,700 --> 00:30:01,400 Because what you're saying to them is not, this is not a 500 00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:03,600 statement of benevolence, we're going to take care of Love you. 501 00:30:04,200 --> 00:30:06,700 You're saying we respect your Humanity. 502 00:30:07,500 --> 00:30:10,400 We need your ability. Come join us. 503 00:30:11,800 --> 00:30:16,900 So we're going to do about it. I appreciate your affirmation be 504 00:30:16,900 --> 00:30:19,300 clapping every now and then and looking and nodding. 505 00:30:19,300 --> 00:30:21,700 I appreciate that. But that doesn't change 506 00:30:21,700 --> 00:30:26,700 anything. Our world is desperately 507 00:30:26,700 --> 00:30:30,400 divided. And yet, I see Christians in the 508 00:30:30,400 --> 00:30:35,300 church, taking sides over issues, that will be of no 509 00:30:35,300 --> 00:30:38,900 consequence in. Eternity, isn't it time? 510 00:30:39,500 --> 00:30:42,800 Starting with the crossing that in our communities? 511 00:30:43,400 --> 00:30:46,900 That we put a stake in the ground and say, we are not going 512 00:30:46,900 --> 00:30:52,300 to be distracted by diversions of politics, or social or 513 00:30:52,300 --> 00:30:54,200 culture. But we are going to care for 514 00:30:54,200 --> 00:30:57,400 people because they have something to offer to the body 515 00:30:57,400 --> 00:30:58,500 of Christ. So here's my question. 516 00:30:58,800 --> 00:31:00,800 Very simple question. What are you going to do about 517 00:31:00,800 --> 00:31:04,100 it? Not in theory, but on your 518 00:31:04,100 --> 00:31:07,200 campus. How are you going to serve a 519 00:31:07,208 --> 00:31:09,700 church to walk into the room and look around and say what needs 520 00:31:09,700 --> 00:31:12,900 to be done that I could do? I would enjoy doing that and I 521 00:31:12,900 --> 00:31:17,000 could do it with Excellence. That's your spiritual gift and 522 00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:21,100 without your spiritual gift, there's part of the body of 523 00:31:21,100 --> 00:31:25,300 Christ that will not be fully mature and fully unified. 524 00:31:25,300 --> 00:31:31,300 Meaning, somebody won't know Jesus Is, if everybody isn't 525 00:31:31,300 --> 00:31:35,600 doing their part to serve the body of Christ. 526 00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:40,700 What is your gift? It's time to make a decision. 527 00:31:41,400 --> 00:31:47,500 I mean right now and on your campus you're going to see some 528 00:31:47,500 --> 00:31:51,700 leaders in front. And they want to hear what your 529 00:31:51,700 --> 00:31:54,200 gift is. You may take a typical took a 530 00:31:54,200 --> 00:31:56,700 while to get get everybody involved. 531 00:31:56,700 --> 00:31:59,300 It may take a while to create a space for that and listen to 532 00:31:59,308 --> 00:32:01,900 this is I need to say this because I know what happens at 533 00:32:01,900 --> 00:32:04,300 my church. Someone says, hey I've got this 534 00:32:04,300 --> 00:32:06,200 ministry. So what are you going to do to 535 00:32:06,200 --> 00:32:08,200 make my Ministry? Work know, if God called you 536 00:32:08,200 --> 00:32:12,200 that's on, you not me. You make a way and we'll get out 537 00:32:12,200 --> 00:32:15,700 of the way. So Jesus can have his way. 538 00:32:16,800 --> 00:32:18,700 It's time to move into a time of decision. 539 00:32:19,200 --> 00:32:21,800 What your gift?
