1 00:00:00,720 --> 00:00:08,720 About those new microphones. Hey, praise the Lord, it's good 2 00:00:08,720 --> 00:00:12,440 to be with you this morning. And there's no better place to 3 00:00:12,440 --> 00:00:15,960 be, nothing better you could be doing this morning than 4 00:00:15,960 --> 00:00:17,800 worshipping the Savior of the world. 5 00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:19,520 Do you believe that this morning? 6 00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:23,880 I mean, there may be some, you know, churches on the beach or 7 00:00:23,880 --> 00:00:26,600 up in the mountains that you might rather worship in, but 8 00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:29,720 there's nothing better you could be doing this morning than 9 00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:31,080 worshipping the Savior of the world. 10 00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:35,000 We're going to finish up our series Be Humble last week, I 11 00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:37,120 think Pastor Shane mentioned. I just want to give a little bit 12 00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:39,840 more explanation. We were supposed to be in 13 00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:44,120 Guatemala last Sunday, but we ended up having to postpone our 14 00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:45,840 trip. There was a ton of rain. 15 00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:48,760 And with all of the flight delays and the rain, there were 16 00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:50,720 mud slides that were blocking roads. 17 00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:53,880 And then the government, something was going on down in 18 00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:56,320 Guatemala with their government and they were putting roadblocks 19 00:00:56,320 --> 00:00:58,440 in. And so they said if you come, 20 00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:00,640 there's a good chance that you're going to get stuck in 21 00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:03,680 Guatemala City for the week. And they said we would probably 22 00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:06,320 suggest you not come. So we ended up postponing the 23 00:01:06,320 --> 00:01:08,640 trip. Now, I wasn't here, obviously 24 00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:11,640 that gave me the opportunity I already had planned to not be 25 00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:14,560 here. And my son Sam plays volleyball 26 00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:18,840 and he goes to tournaments and, and I don't get to go to those 27 00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:21,600 because I'm usually here. And so I decided I was going to 28 00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:23,400 take that opportunity to go down to Nashville. 29 00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:28,520 The wonderful thing was we had the afternoon session and so we 30 00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:32,240 had the opportunity to go to church and I always love to go 31 00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:34,560 to church. Listen, guys, please, please 32 00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:37,800 don't take for granted the opportunity we have to gather 33 00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:41,640 together and worship. And, and no matter where I go, I 34 00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:45,360 don't care if I'm on vacation or at a volleyball tournament or 35 00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:50,080 wherever, I always love going to church and worshiping for the 36 00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:52,040 body Christ. So last week we worshiped with 37 00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:54,600 the Gateway Church down in Nashville. 38 00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:57,040 It was pretty cool. I didn't realize, but one of our 39 00:01:57,040 --> 00:01:58,840 own, Karen Fleming, attends there now. 40 00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:01,760 She moved down to Nashville and I had the opportunity to see her 41 00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:03,520 and it was just cool being there. 42 00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:05,800 It's great to be a part of the church, isn't it? 43 00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:10,360 That reminds me of a a story. There were these three guys 44 00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:13,240 talking. One was a Nazarene pastor, one 45 00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:16,200 was a Catholic priest, and the other was a rabbi. 46 00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:19,960 And the Nazarene pastor, I mean, just like me, he just loved the 47 00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:21,080 church. He said. 48 00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:23,440 I love going to church. I love the Nazarene church. 49 00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:26,440 What I love about the Nazarene church is it's just one big 50 00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:28,520 family. But but I love that in the 51 00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:32,080 Nazarene Church, if you're faithful and if you're humble, 52 00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:35,840 you can really, you know, be, be moved up. 53 00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:38,960 And he said, you know, I, I've known pastors that started and, 54 00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:42,360 and, you know, small churches and ended up being district 55 00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:44,320 superintendents. And, you know, you know, you 56 00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:47,920 could even be elected general Superintendent if you're 57 00:02:47,920 --> 00:02:50,360 faithful. Now that doesn't mean anything 58 00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:53,000 to non Nazarenes, but there's only six of those in the church. 59 00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:55,560 The big deal. And Catholic priest looked at 60 00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:56,920 him and said, man, that's really cool. 61 00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:01,200 But you know, the Catholic Church, I mean, we are a big 62 00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:04,440 church. I mean, we got Notre Dame maybe 63 00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:06,200 in the College Football Playoff, I don't know. 64 00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:08,320 But but you know, with a Catholic Church, I mean, if 65 00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:11,760 you're faithful, you could go from being a small village 66 00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:14,440 priest. You could become a Bishop, maybe 67 00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:17,320 even an Archbishop. You might even become a 68 00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:21,800 cardinal. And who knows, maybe even the 69 00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:24,320 Pope. And they're both feeling good 70 00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:26,880 about themselves. And the rabbi looks over and 71 00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:28,520 says, man, guys, that's really awesome. 72 00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:30,960 What about this? Could you guys become the 73 00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:33,160 Almighty? Could anyone in your church to 74 00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:36,520 become the And the Nazarene pastor said, no, absolutely not. 75 00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:38,880 It's that that's crazy. And that the Catholic priest 76 00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:43,000 said, no, that's sacrilegious to even suggest that a mere mortal 77 00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:45,640 man could become the Almighty. And the rabbi looked at him and 78 00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:54,840 said, one of our guys did it. All right, today we're going to 79 00:03:54,840 --> 00:04:00,200 talk about that one guy that made it the Almighty, the Savior 80 00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:02,880 of the world. We're in Philippians chapter 2. 81 00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:07,400 If you'll stand with me, I'm going to read verse one through 82 00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:10,480 11. We've been working through it 83 00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:15,120 for the last three weeks and we're finishing our series here 84 00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:17,279 today. And we, we stand for God's word 85 00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:20,160 because we believe God wants to speak to us through it. 86 00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:24,520 And I really believe that today we have an opportunity to 87 00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:27,400 worship and I think his word will draw us there. 88 00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:30,760 So here it is. Therefore, if you have any 89 00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:34,800 encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from 90 00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:39,040 His love, if any common sharing in the Spirit, if any tenderness 91 00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:43,280 and compassion, then make my joy complete by being like minded, 92 00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:46,960 having the same love, being one in spirit and one of mind. 93 00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:51,280 Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. 94 00:04:51,280 --> 00:04:55,160 Rather, in humility, value others above yourselves, not 95 00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:57,640 looking to your own interest, but each of you to the interests 96 00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:00,360 of the others and your relationships with one another 97 00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:04,760 have the same mindset as Christ Jesus, who, being in very nature 98 00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:07,920 God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to 99 00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:12,120 His own advantage. Rather, He made Himself nothing 100 00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:15,200 by taking the very nature of a servant being made in human 101 00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:17,840 likeness and being found in appearance as a man, He humbled 102 00:05:17,840 --> 00:05:22,360 himself by becoming obedient to death, even death on a cross. 103 00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:26,080 Therefore, this is where we're focusing today. 104 00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:31,800 Verse 9 Therefore, God exalted him to the highest place gave 105 00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:35,120 him the the name that is above every name that at the name of 106 00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:39,240 Jesus every knee should bow in heaven and on earth and under 107 00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:43,200 the earth and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is 108 00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:46,200 Lord to the glory of God the Father. 109 00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:47,720 Amen. You can have a seat. 110 00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:53,760 So Philippians 2 is a, is a call to humility. 111 00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:59,040 It's called a humility, but it also focuses us on Jesus over 112 00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:01,120 the last three weeks that we talked about. 113 00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:06,520 Humility is part of humility is unity that we find ourselves in 114 00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:09,160 Christ, that we are all made one in Christ. 115 00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:13,040 And, and part of being unified together is the humility of 116 00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:16,160 knowing that that we're all in this together and we're all 117 00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:19,200 saved by Christ and we're all made one in Christ. 118 00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:22,720 And so it starts with unity, but then there's the call to 119 00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:25,400 selflessness. Do nothing out of selfish 120 00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:30,200 ambition or vain conceit. Rather value others above 121 00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:33,640 yourselves. And so humility is putting 122 00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:36,440 others 1st. And then last week Pastor Shane 123 00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:40,560 shared and we we looked at Jesus and we have the picture, the 124 00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:43,160 example of Jesus. And there's the call to allow 125 00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:48,280 Jesus to be our example and to follow him and to be Christ like 126 00:06:48,280 --> 00:06:53,640 to follow his example. Today's the finale, verse 9 and 127 00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:57,960 and I think this ends in the perfect way to talk about 128 00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:02,680 humility, verse 9. Therefore God exalted him to the 129 00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:07,080 highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, 130 00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:09,880 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow in heaven and on 131 00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:11,680 earth and under the earth, and every tongue. 132 00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:17,920 Confess that who Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the 133 00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:20,400 Father. I love this. 134 00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:24,680 Paul starts by calling us to unity, by calling us to 135 00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:28,080 humility, by calling us to be servants, by calling us to 136 00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:33,400 follow Jesus example. But he doesn't end with us, he 137 00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:40,440 ends with Jesus. Therefore, Jesus was exalted to 138 00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:42,160 the highest place. Let's work through this. 139 00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:45,960 Verse 9 says therefore God exalted him to the highest 140 00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:48,040 place. The therefore is drawing back to 141 00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:50,680 verses 6 through 8. So let's just take a second and 142 00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:53,080 let's look back at verses 6 through 8. 143 00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:57,000 It's drawing back to that. It says Jesus in verse 6, who 144 00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:00,360 being in very nature God did not consider equality with God 145 00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:02,800 something to be used to his own advantage. 146 00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:08,480 Rather, He made himself nothing by taking the very nature of a 147 00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:11,960 servant being made in human likeness and being found in 148 00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:16,440 appearance as a man, He humbled himself and by becoming obedient 149 00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:21,320 to death, even death on a cross. So the therefore points back to 150 00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:24,520 this. This is the example that Jesus 151 00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:27,480 set. Therefore, God exalted him to 152 00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:28,840 the highest place. Let's just look at it. 153 00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:33,200 Verse 6 says He didn't look at equality with God as something 154 00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:37,679 to be used to his own advantage. Jesus, it was the Son of God. 155 00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:41,840 And we believe in the tree that that God the Father, God the Son 156 00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:45,320 and the Holy Spirit. Scripture tells us all were one. 157 00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:49,720 And at the beginning of time, all things were created through 158 00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:51,720 Jesus. He was there. 159 00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:57,200 And so listen, if anyone ever could claim to be important, 160 00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:05,320 it's Jesus, God, the Son of God, the one through whom all things 161 00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:09,080 we're created. But it tells us he didn't take 162 00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:13,080 that and view it as something that he would exploit or use to 163 00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:17,920 his own advantage. Instead, he humbled himself. 164 00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:21,920 He made himself nothing by taking the very nature of a 165 00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:28,080 servant he took on flesh. Jesus, the one who all of us 166 00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:33,840 were created through, became one of us, humbled himself. 167 00:09:34,560 --> 00:09:37,600 It became a servant. Pastor Shane talked about this 168 00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:41,480 last week, washing feet. Jesus actually washed the feet 169 00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:44,400 of his disciples. Not only is he God, not only did 170 00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:49,120 he take on flesh, but he humbled himself as a servant and washed 171 00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:51,760 feet. And Shane told you he hates 172 00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:54,200 washing feet. I think he should wash my feet 173 00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:56,680 today, don't you? I think we should have him 174 00:09:56,680 --> 00:10:01,440 practice humility. And I'll give you a yeah. 175 00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:04,960 There we go. Listen, Jesus not only took on 176 00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:12,240 flesh, but he became a servant. And verse 8, he became obedient 177 00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:14,040 to death, even death on the cross. 178 00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:15,840 See, it wasn't about what he wanted. 179 00:10:16,680 --> 00:10:21,000 It was about the Father's plan. And so he was obedient. 180 00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:23,880 And there were times where Jesus said, oh, if there was a way to 181 00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:27,560 take this this from me, Lord, I would love that, but not my 182 00:10:27,560 --> 00:10:31,880 will, your will be done. And so he was completely 183 00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:35,240 obedient. So I want us to look at three 184 00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:37,960 things. Three reasons that Jesus is 185 00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:41,320 exalted 2 and two from the scripture. 186 00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:43,240 And one, that's a bonus. But it's Thanksgiving week. 187 00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:45,360 So I'm giving you a little a little bonus here. 188 00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:49,680 See this week you may sit at a table with some other people and 189 00:10:49,680 --> 00:10:52,640 they may ask you to tell them what you're thankful for. 190 00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:57,200 If you don't know, I'm going to give you 3 things that you 191 00:10:57,200 --> 00:10:59,920 should be thankful for. It's a little little bonus. 192 00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:02,040 You walk out of here. You've already got Thursday 193 00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:07,400 taken care of. Here we go #1 Jesus is the 194 00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:14,400 perfect example of humility. He's the perfect example of 195 00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:16,960 humility. We, we talked about it at the 196 00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:20,720 beginning of Philippians 2. Paul says that you should be 1. 197 00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:25,920 You should be unified. Jesus was 1 with the Father and 198 00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:29,320 with the Spirit. Jesus was a part of the Trinity. 199 00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:33,320 He was unified together, but he didn't take that as a way to 200 00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:36,840 exploit, as a way to make it his name greater than theirs. 201 00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:39,640 He was 1. He was unified with them, and it 202 00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:44,200 was all about being together in the Father's plan. 203 00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:49,160 And so he was unified. But second, Paul calls us to 204 00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:50,880 selflessness. He says do nothing out of 205 00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:56,080 selfish ambition or vain conceit, rather value others 206 00:11:56,080 --> 00:12:01,320 above yourself. Jesus became a servant and he 207 00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:07,560 valued others above himself. He washed the feet, He healed 208 00:12:07,560 --> 00:12:10,920 the people that needed healed. He spoke to the people that 209 00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:16,600 needed someone to speak to them. Jesus valued others and then he 210 00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:20,800 even gave his life on a cross so that we could be forgiven. 211 00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:25,240 He was humble and obedient to death, even death on a cross. 212 00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:29,880 John 15 says, My command is this, love each other as I have 213 00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:32,040 loved you. Greater love has no one than 214 00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:34,440 this to lay down one's life for one's friends. 215 00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:38,320 Jesus was the perfect example of humility. 216 00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:43,840 He's the only hear me again, the only perfect example of 217 00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:46,400 humility. I know some of you have really 218 00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:50,440 sweet little grandmothers, or maybe you got a friend, or maybe 219 00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:53,800 you had a pastor in the past, or maybe you had a, you know, 220 00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:55,160 Sunday school teacher growing up. 221 00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:56,920 And you say that is a perfect exit. 222 00:12:56,920 --> 00:13:00,440 No, no, no, no, no. There's only one perfect example 223 00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:02,520 of humility, and that's Jesus Christ. 224 00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:11,880 Praise the Lord that we have a Savior that set the the way, 225 00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:17,160 that lived, the example that was perfect in obedience and 226 00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:18,600 humility. That's something you can be 227 00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:22,320 thankful for. This week we have the path in 228 00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:24,160 front of us. He showed us the way. 229 00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:29,200 Jesus is the only perfect example of humility, and we can 230 00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:34,120 follow him. All right #2 Jesus is the Savior 231 00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:36,640 of the world. Here's the really good news. 232 00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:40,320 Jesus became obedient to death, even death on a cross. 233 00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:42,520 And what happened there? If you're new to this whole 234 00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:45,040 thing? See, we have all sinned and 235 00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:46,240 fallen short of the glory of God. 236 00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:50,640 That's what Scripture tells us. But Jesus became a man. 237 00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:56,040 And Jesus, the Son of God, went to a cross and was obedient and 238 00:13:56,040 --> 00:14:00,080 died on the cross so that we could be forgiven. 239 00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:03,320 Jesus is the Savior of the world. 240 00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:06,360 John 316 says, For God so loved the world that he gave his one 241 00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:09,560 and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not 242 00:14:09,560 --> 00:14:11,560 perish, but have everlasting life. 243 00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:15,040 For God did not send his Son to the world to condemn the world, 244 00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:17,240 but to save the world through him. 245 00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:20,760 Here's the truth. We deserved condemnation. 246 00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:24,000 Guys, just take a second. And I'm not trying to beat you 247 00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:28,760 up here, but just take a second and think about the worst things 248 00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:32,120 you've ever done, the worst things you've ever thought, the 249 00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:37,560 worst things you've ever said. None of us is innocent, Every 250 00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:39,560 single one of us. And and we kind of joke about 251 00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:42,800 like one day you'll stand before God and that laundry list of 252 00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:44,320 things that you've done will be in. 253 00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:46,840 And the idea is, oh, I'm going to feel this great shame. 254 00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:50,360 I got good news, guys. Jesus became obedient to death, 255 00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:54,280 even death on a cross so that your sins can be paid for. 256 00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:59,520 You don't have to sit before God one day and be ashamed and and 257 00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:03,800 unworthy because Jesus, death on the cross paid for your sins. 258 00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:09,560 The wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life 259 00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:14,000 through Jesus Christ Jesus Not only the perfect example of 260 00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:19,720 humility, Jesus is the only way to salvation. 261 00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:22,960 Listen, if if you got nothing else to say, you're thankful for 262 00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:29,240 this week, you have a Savior who offers you salvation and life 263 00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:32,760 died so that you could be forgiven for your sins. 264 00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:36,760 Anyone want to say Amen to that? Anyone thankful for that? 265 00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:42,680 He's the Savior of the world #3 this is your bonus point. 266 00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:45,960 It's not in Philippians 2, but it's all throughout Scripture. 267 00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:49,800 Jesus not only was obedient to death, death on a cross, but 268 00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:55,800 Jesus conquered sin and death. See, He did die, He did go to 269 00:15:55,800 --> 00:16:01,360 the cross, but He rose from the dead and he lives today. 270 00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:06,600 Jesus conquered sin and does see since the beginning, since he 271 00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:09,480 took on flesh, people were after him. 272 00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:13,000 King Herod was trying to eliminate him, went to great 273 00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:14,960 measures to try to eliminate Jesus. 274 00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:18,120 Throughout time, over and over again, people have tried to 275 00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:21,200 eliminate Jesus. Over and over again people have 276 00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:27,160 tried to get rid of His example, but Jesus conquered sin and 277 00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:31,240 death. Yes, He died, but today He 278 00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:35,120 lives. All right, so good news, you 279 00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:39,520 have salvation through Him. Your sins are forgiven through 280 00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:43,320 His death. Even better news, you are 281 00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:47,720 offered life and life eternal through His resurrection. 282 00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:52,240 Praise the Lord because He conquered sin and death. 283 00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:56,920 We can live eternally and we are no longer slaves to sin and 284 00:16:56,920 --> 00:17:00,280 death. We have victory in Christ. 285 00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:06,200 Listen, the person you were, when you think of that laundry 286 00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:08,440 list of things, when you think of the worst things you've done, 287 00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:11,760 I've got good news through Jesus death, you're forgiven for those 288 00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:13,800 things. But even beyond that, Jesus 289 00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:17,880 conquered sin and death and his Spirit comes to live in us. 290 00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:20,760 And we don't have to live that way anymore. 291 00:17:22,359 --> 00:17:25,440 We can live right? We can live holy. 292 00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:30,080 It's one of the things I think our church absolutely gets 293 00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:32,280 right. We believe in holiness. 294 00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:35,840 We believe that through the work of the Holy Spirit in our life, 295 00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:43,360 we can actually live holy lives. So not only is he the perfect 296 00:17:43,360 --> 00:17:49,080 example of humility, not only is he your salvation, he's your 297 00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:54,160 life to this week, you can be thankful that Jesus offers you 298 00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:56,480 life and victory over sin and death. 299 00:17:56,480 --> 00:17:59,120 This week when we talked about in staff meeting, I said, what 300 00:17:59,120 --> 00:18:00,840 is this? What does this tell you? 301 00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:03,960 And Pastor Dale said, it tells me that we have victory. 302 00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:08,840 We know who wins. I went to the UC football game 303 00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:10,960 last night. I like going to the UC games. 304 00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:17,240 I hoped that UC would win. I hoped they would pull out the 305 00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:18,840 victory. You guys know how this feels, 306 00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:19,880 right? You hope. 307 00:18:20,360 --> 00:18:22,880 I mean, we're Cincinnati sports fans. 308 00:18:23,360 --> 00:18:25,560 You hope. I love the hope we have every 309 00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:26,760 year. This is our year. 310 00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:30,640 We're going to do it. I had a lot of hope last night 311 00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:32,320 until the third quarter when I said, you know what? 312 00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:35,800 I think it's time to go home. I think it's over now. 313 00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:40,360 I'm tired of being cold. I didn't know what was going to 314 00:18:40,360 --> 00:18:41,240 happen. I hoped. 315 00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:44,840 I hope Joe Burrow comes back and we play really well. 316 00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:48,000 You know, I, I hope the stock market does well. 317 00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:51,360 I hope our country does well. I hope a lot of things. 318 00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:54,160 We can hope a lot of things. Here's the beautiful thing. 319 00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:57,840 We know that Jesus is victorious. 320 00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:03,120 And today we don't come to church wondering if we're, if 321 00:19:03,120 --> 00:19:07,680 we're backing a winner. We serve the name that is above 322 00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:11,880 all other names, the God that conquered the Savior, that 323 00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:16,200 conquered sin and death. Praise the Lord, we have 324 00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:21,000 victory. Verse 9 therefore, therefore, so 325 00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:26,000 because of all that, therefore God exalted him to the highest 326 00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:29,800 place, gave him the name that is above every name, that at the 327 00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:33,280 name of Jesus, every knee should bow in heaven and on earth and 328 00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:36,320 under the earth and every tongue acknowledged that Jesus Christ 329 00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:39,640 is Lord to the glory of God the Father. 330 00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:46,160 God exalted him to the highest place because he is the perfect 331 00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:49,400 example, because he's the Savior of the world, because he has 332 00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:52,960 victory over sin and death. God exalted him to the highest 333 00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:57,160 place and today he sits. He's the name above all names. 334 00:19:57,160 --> 00:20:01,360 He sits on the ultimate throne. That's who we're here to 335 00:20:01,360 --> 00:20:03,640 worship. Did you make the right call 336 00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:05,840 today? You did. 337 00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:10,560 We're here to worship Jesus and you can't deny this. 338 00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:14,040 There may be some people that say, oh, Jesus isn't everything 339 00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:19,840 you say is No, no, he is. 2.4 billion people on this earth 340 00:20:20,360 --> 00:20:27,840 proclaim Jesus to be the savior. 2.4 billion people on earth call 341 00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:30,120 themselves Christians more than anyone else. 342 00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:33,000 Listen, I go around and I see bumper stickers on cars. 343 00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:35,680 We got Star Wars fans, any Star Wars fans in the house? 344 00:20:36,120 --> 00:20:38,720 OK, we got, we got Trekkies, Not as many of those. 345 00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:42,200 Do we have any Star Trek people? All right, we got any big time 346 00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:43,960 sport? We got any Ohio State people? 347 00:20:44,360 --> 00:20:47,680 I wasn't getting. Oh, wow, OK, we got we got any 348 00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:49,120 sleeping people. I mean, come on. 349 00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:54,400 Listen, we, we can put our faith in a lot of different things, a 350 00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:59,920 lot of different things, but there is one that reigns supreme 351 00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:03,760 and that's Jesus Christ. And, and as I said, for 352 00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:08,720 thousands of years, dictators, kings, powers, authorities have 353 00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:12,240 tried to get rid of Christianity, have tried to get 354 00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:16,200 rid of the influence of Jesus. Even some countries today try to 355 00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:18,160 keep people from worshipping Jesus. 356 00:21:18,360 --> 00:21:20,880 Guess what? In those places, that's where 357 00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:22,720 it's growing the most. Why? 358 00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:27,640 Because Jesus is the name above all other names. 359 00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:33,040 He is the most famous, the most important, the most influential, 360 00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:36,400 the most worshipped name in history. 361 00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:40,640 God exalted him to the highest place. 362 00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:43,520 Praise the Lord. God is good. 363 00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:51,040 So humility is coming together and being one in Christ. 364 00:21:51,040 --> 00:21:53,960 Humility is selflessness. Humility is obedience and 365 00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:58,240 following Jesus example. I love how this ends. 366 00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:03,400 It doesn't talk about us. See, I think we live in a 367 00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:06,160 culture and, and I'll use a term here that I'm making up. 368 00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:11,160 I think sometimes we treat Christianity as like what we 369 00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:14,800 come to worship and, and it's kind of like the Oscars or the 370 00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:18,360 Grammys, whatever you want to think of the award show, you 371 00:22:18,360 --> 00:22:20,480 know, all these people come and they're here for this big, 372 00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:22,760 they're all here for the same thing, this big event. 373 00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:25,600 And I think we would all say today that, hey, we're here to 374 00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:27,120 worship the saviour of the world. 375 00:22:27,120 --> 00:22:30,360 But the truth is, you can see it at the Oscars and the Grammys. 376 00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:35,480 They've all spent time getting ready because in reality, it's 377 00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:39,680 kind of about them, isn't it? And they walk the red carpet and 378 00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:42,200 they pose and they look at each other and they're making sure 379 00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:44,480 every, you know, they're even making sure when the cameras are 380 00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:46,920 looking at them that they're doing the right thing because in 381 00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:50,800 their mind it's about them. Sure, there's something bigger 382 00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:55,320 going on, but it's about them. And, and I think we fall victim 383 00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:58,680 to this and Christianity. And I'm going to be honest with 384 00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:02,120 you and say that sometimes I do make it about myself. 385 00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:05,280 Last week I told you I went to Gateway Church. 386 00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:09,720 I had the privilege of interning there when I was in college. 387 00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:14,160 So like 20 years ago, 2022 years ago, 23 years ago, I interned. 388 00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:17,840 Man, that's a long time. I interned at, at Gateway 389 00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:21,360 Church, same pastor. And so I don't know what I 390 00:23:21,360 --> 00:23:24,280 thought was going to happen, but I walked in the doors of the 391 00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:25,880 church. It's it's not a huge church. 392 00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:28,080 And I walked in the doors of the church and and I don't know, I 393 00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:30,440 mean, I promise you, I didn't think people were going to like 394 00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:32,320 fall all over themselves for me or anything. 395 00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:35,440 But I walked in and I'm like, hey, you know, I'm Alex 396 00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:38,040 Mahaffey. I used to intern here and I saw 397 00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:41,080 the look on the pastor's face. All right, now this is a look. 398 00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:43,520 I'm I'm giving you some internal secrets here. 399 00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:46,280 OK? I saw the look of kind of panic. 400 00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:49,760 I don't know if I told him my name, but I said I interned here 401 00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:53,560 and I could see that he recognized me, but I could also 402 00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:56,000 see that he really had no clue who I was. 403 00:23:57,160 --> 00:24:01,200 Happens a lot to me. And then I noticed that, you 404 00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:02,640 know, he slipped out for a little bit. 405 00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:04,320 OK, now I'm really telling you my secrets. 406 00:24:04,320 --> 00:24:07,760 Every once in a while you might see that deer in a headlights 407 00:24:07,760 --> 00:24:10,600 look on my face. And maybe you've caught me off 408 00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:12,920 guard and. And every once in a while, I'll 409 00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:15,880 slip out and I'll go look up and try to figure out who you are so 410 00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:19,640 I can come back in and say, oh, yeah, hey, Bill, how you doing? 411 00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:22,800 And so you know what that happened. 412 00:24:23,360 --> 00:24:25,640 We sat down. We're getting ready to worship 413 00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:28,840 and, and Pastor Gary Henneke walks in now. 414 00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:31,960 Pastor Gary Henneke was a long time pastor at Nashville First 415 00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:34,320 Church. Many think of him as one of the 416 00:24:34,320 --> 00:24:36,680 greatest preachers. I mean, he was known for his 417 00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:38,840 wonderful preaching. He's a well known pastor. 418 00:24:38,840 --> 00:24:41,760 And he walked in to Gateway Church and I was like, oh, 419 00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:43,400 Megan, check it out. It's Gary Henneke. 420 00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:46,440 Like like he's an awesome dude. And she's like, well, does he 421 00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:49,280 know you? No, he doesn't know me. 422 00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:56,480 Why would he know me? And can I be honest with you, as 423 00:24:56,480 --> 00:25:03,040 I often do, I kind of started to make it about myself and I kind 424 00:25:03,040 --> 00:25:06,440 of started to think, well, and, and I've, I've already told you 425 00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:08,840 this in this series, I started to think, well, who am I? 426 00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:13,760 Well, people don't know me. Do I matter? 427 00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:16,400 And I'm giving you a testimony today. 428 00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:18,000 I'm not. I don't want you to feel sorry 429 00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:20,800 for me because it's not about me. 430 00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:24,680 And the testimony is this, that last Sunday as I sat worshipping 431 00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:28,000 while you were sitting worshipping, I was maybe making 432 00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:29,640 it about myself a little bit too much. 433 00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:31,000 And you know what God said to me? 434 00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:37,440 It's not about you. It's about Jesus, the One, the 435 00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:40,000 name of all above all other names. 436 00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:44,040 And it doesn't matter if you pastor for 50 years and nobody 437 00:25:44,040 --> 00:25:47,000 knows your name. It doesn't matter if people 438 00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:49,200 recognize you when you walk into a room. 439 00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:54,320 What matters is that one day all of us will fall down and worship 440 00:25:54,840 --> 00:26:00,400 the one who's worthy. Praise the Lord, guys. 441 00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:05,160 I have the opportunity not to get up and build my career every 442 00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:06,920 week. Not to get up and make a name 443 00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:09,560 for myself. I have the opportunity to get up 444 00:26:09,560 --> 00:26:12,840 and tell you how great Jesus Christ is. 445 00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:21,240 He alone is worthy. None of the rest of us are. 446 00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:27,480 And as much as we tend to make it about ourselves, as much as 447 00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:30,720 we tend to sit, we come to worship the Almighty God. 448 00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:32,480 We come to worship the Savior of the world. 449 00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:35,560 But way too often we come in like it's the Oscars or the 450 00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:39,120 Grammys, and we're worried about who's looking at us, who knows 451 00:26:39,120 --> 00:26:41,320 us, who doesn't know us, what they're thinking, how they 452 00:26:41,320 --> 00:26:44,600 looked at us. And we forget that it's all 453 00:26:44,760 --> 00:26:51,320 about Jesus. Today we have the opportunity to 454 00:26:51,360 --> 00:26:56,560 worship the King of kings, the Lord of Lords, the name above 455 00:26:56,560 --> 00:27:00,240 any other name and it's not about us. 456 00:27:01,360 --> 00:27:03,600 See, I love this. Paul starts with, hey, you 457 00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:08,120 should be humble, you should be unified, you should be selfless. 458 00:27:08,320 --> 00:27:13,160 You should follow Jesus example, but he doesn't say then you will 459 00:27:13,160 --> 00:27:15,760 be awesome. He says no. 460 00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:21,880 Therefore Jesus is lifted up. The name of Jesus is above every 461 00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:25,320 name, and at the name of Jesus every knee will bow and every 462 00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:31,800 tongue confess that he is Lord. So humility is being one with 463 00:27:31,800 --> 00:27:34,560 each other. Humility is humbling ourselves 464 00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:35,800 and putting others above ourselves. 465 00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:39,560 Humility is obedience. Today humility is worshiping the 466 00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:46,240 one that is worthy of all of our worship and praise. 467 00:27:47,880 --> 00:27:53,320 Guys, you have the opportunity today to join with 2.4 billion 468 00:27:53,320 --> 00:27:54,520 people. I don't know if they're all in 469 00:27:54,520 --> 00:27:57,840 church this morning. You have the opportunity to 470 00:27:57,840 --> 00:28:02,880 worship the one that's worthy of everything. 471 00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:06,640 You can watch the Bengals later, you can watch the Bearcats. 472 00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:08,720 You can. You can follow the government. 473 00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:10,720 You can root for whatever you want to root for. 474 00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:13,040 You can follow the stock market, whatever you want. 475 00:28:13,040 --> 00:28:16,360 Knock yourself out, but don't miss this guys. 476 00:28:16,680 --> 00:28:22,040 There's one worthy of our worship and praise, and it's not 477 00:28:22,040 --> 00:28:26,400 me and it's not you. It's Jesus. 478 00:28:27,280 --> 00:28:30,720 It goes on and it says at the name of Jesus, every knee should 479 00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:32,400 bow. Every knee will bow. 480 00:28:32,400 --> 00:28:34,920 That doesn't mean they should. They're not going to, they 481 00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:37,640 should. What it means is that one day 482 00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:43,840 every knee will bow to Jesus and every tongue will confess that 483 00:28:43,840 --> 00:28:47,120 Jesus Christ is Lord. Would you stand with me? 484 00:28:48,560 --> 00:28:50,440 I want to read Revelation 5 to you. 485 00:28:50,440 --> 00:28:54,120 This is a picture of that. It's a beautiful picture of that 486 00:28:56,840 --> 00:29:01,360 worship team. You can come on up, Revelation 5 487 00:29:01,360 --> 00:29:04,120 says. Then I saw in the right hand of 488 00:29:04,120 --> 00:29:07,480 him who sat on the throne a scroll with riding on both sides 489 00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:09,920 and sealed with 7 seals. And I saw a mighty Angel 490 00:29:09,920 --> 00:29:14,360 proclaiming in a loud voice, who is worthy to break the seals and 491 00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:17,840 open the scroll. But no one in heaven or on earth 492 00:29:17,840 --> 00:29:21,000 or under the earth could open the scroll or even look inside. 493 00:29:21,200 --> 00:29:25,120 And I wept and I wept because no one was found to was worthy to 494 00:29:25,120 --> 00:29:28,320 open the scroll or look inside. Then one of the elders said to 495 00:29:28,320 --> 00:29:31,800 me, do not weep. See the lion of the tribe of 496 00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:34,080 Jude of the root of David, and has triumphed. 497 00:29:34,280 --> 00:29:37,040 He is able to open the scroll in its seven seals. 498 00:29:37,320 --> 00:29:41,000 Then I saw the a lamb looking as if it had been slain, standing 499 00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:43,680 in the center of the throne, encircled by the four living 500 00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:46,840 creatures and the elders. The lamb had 7 horns and seven 501 00:29:46,840 --> 00:29:49,920 eyes, which which are the seven spirits of God sent out into all 502 00:29:49,920 --> 00:29:52,040 the earth. He went, and he took the scroll 503 00:29:52,040 --> 00:29:54,400 from the right hand of him who sat on the throne. 504 00:29:54,560 --> 00:29:57,360 And when he had taken it, the four living creatures and the 24 505 00:29:57,360 --> 00:30:08,320 elders fell down before. The Lamb, each one had a harp, 506 00:30:09,640 --> 00:30:12,200 and they were holding golden bulls of full of incense, which 507 00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:15,640 are the prayers of God's people. And they sang a new song, 508 00:30:15,640 --> 00:30:19,440 saying, You are worthy to take the scroll and open its seals, 509 00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:22,320 because you were slain. And with your blood you 510 00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:25,440 purchased for God persons from every tribe and language and 511 00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:28,760 people and nation. You have made them to be a 512 00:30:28,760 --> 00:30:31,720 Kingdom and priest to serve our God, and they will reign on 513 00:30:31,720 --> 00:30:34,440 earth. Then I looked and I heard the 514 00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:39,120 voice of many angels. Picture this guys, many angels 515 00:30:39,120 --> 00:30:43,680 numbering thousands upon thousands and 10,000 * 10,000 516 00:30:44,880 --> 00:30:49,360 They encircled the throne and the living creatures and the 517 00:30:49,360 --> 00:30:55,800 elders, and in a loud voice they were saying, Worthy is the Lamb 518 00:30:55,800 --> 00:30:59,800 who was slain to receive power and wealth and wisdom and 519 00:30:59,800 --> 00:31:02,440 strength and honor and glory and praise. 520 00:31:03,640 --> 00:31:07,080 Then I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under 521 00:31:07,080 --> 00:31:11,680 the earth and on the sea, and all that is in them say to him 522 00:31:11,680 --> 00:31:16,480 who sits on the throne and to the Lamb be praise and honor and 523 00:31:16,480 --> 00:31:20,200 glory and power forever and ever. 524 00:31:21,600 --> 00:31:23,680 The four living creatures said Amen. 525 00:31:24,960 --> 00:31:28,480 And the elders felt fell down and worshipped him. 526 00:31:29,640 --> 00:31:34,760 Guys, I hope you got a little bit of a glimpse there of what's 527 00:31:34,760 --> 00:31:38,560 happening and what will happen for eternity. 528 00:31:39,720 --> 00:31:42,800 And listen, you're called to be humble, you're called to be 529 00:31:42,800 --> 00:31:44,840 unified. You're called to be a servant. 530 00:31:44,840 --> 00:31:47,280 You're called to follow Christ example. 531 00:31:47,280 --> 00:31:49,960 But today I want you to know more than anything, you are 532 00:31:49,960 --> 00:31:54,840 called to worship the 1. So I want to invite you to 533 00:31:54,840 --> 00:32:01,680 worship today. Humility is worship the one who 534 00:32:01,680 --> 00:32:04,120 is worthy. You can do that however you 535 00:32:04,120 --> 00:32:05,240 want. We're going to sing a couple 536 00:32:05,240 --> 00:32:07,240 songs. You can kneel in an altar, you 537 00:32:07,240 --> 00:32:10,000 can bow down where you are, you can put your hands up, you can 538 00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:12,000 cry tears. You can do whatever you want. 539 00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:18,520 But today, humility is fully surrendering and worshipping the 540 00:32:18,640 --> 00:32:24,200 only one who's worthy. Father, speak to us, lead us, 541 00:32:24,720 --> 00:32:27,760 guide us. Thank you for your love and 542 00:32:27,760 --> 00:32:30,360 grace.
