gift for you, just our way again
of saying. 

77
00:17:49,300 --> 00:17:53,900
Thank you so much for being here
with us this week at Real Life 

78
00:17:53,900 --> 00:17:57,500
Church. 
Well guys, there's a reason that

79
00:17:57,500 --> 00:18:01,700
every week we meet here at 
Kentucky Keep Trail Elementary, 

80
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:06,500
and we turn it into Real Life 
Church that we set this up every

81
00:18:06,500 --> 00:18:08,300
week. 
It takes a little bit of time. 

82
00:18:08,300 --> 00:18:10,900
It takes a lot of help. 
We tear it back down and we do 

83
00:18:10,900 --> 00:18:14,200
it again week after week. 
And the reason is because we are

84
00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:19,500
a church on a mission and that 
mission is to see people far 

85
00:18:19,500 --> 00:18:24,500
from God, discover their real 
life and purpose in Jesus. 

86
00:18:24,500 --> 00:18:28,700
And every one of us in this room
at one point in our lives, we 

87
00:18:28,900 --> 00:18:33,900
were far from God and through 
through people who loved and 

88
00:18:33,900 --> 00:18:35,900
cared about us and poured into 
us through. 

89
00:18:35,900 --> 00:18:39,100
God himself through the Holy 
Spirit, through his word, we're 

90
00:18:39,100 --> 00:18:42,700
here today, wherever wherever 
your story is, it's because 

91
00:18:42,700 --> 00:18:46,700
people living out this Mission 
and I'm going to tell you, man, 

92
00:18:46,900 --> 00:18:50,500
we had an awesome 2022 because 
of people living out this 

93
00:18:50,500 --> 00:18:54,300
mission 31. 
People were baptized at Real 

94
00:18:54,300 --> 00:18:55,500
Life Church. 
Yeah, go ahead. 

95
00:18:55,500 --> 00:18:58,700
Give It Up. 
God sends some great things 

96
00:18:59,100 --> 00:19:02,500
because of people living out 
this Mission. 

97
00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:07,400
We've seen attendance grow by 18
percent over the last year and 

98
00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:13,600
we are just pumped at the moment
and we are excited to see how 

99
00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:19,000
God can use us in 2023 to just 
meet people where they are. 

100
00:19:19,100 --> 00:19:20,300
I said it before, I'll say it 
again. 

101
00:19:20,300 --> 00:19:24,400
You cannot outrun the love that 
God has for you. 

102
00:19:24,700 --> 00:19:28,500
I don't know what season of life
you're in I don't care how messy

103
00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:31,500
things have been. 
God is ready to meet you here 

104
00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:35,000
today. 
Exactly where you are. 

105
00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:38,100
And it's people who are living 
out that mission that just want 

106
00:19:38,100 --> 00:19:41,000
to pour into you today. 
So if you don't feel like you 

107
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:44,500
have a church home, if you don't
feel like you've put down Roots 

108
00:19:44,500 --> 00:19:47,700
anywhere, I just want to welcome
you to do that at real life 

109
00:19:47,700 --> 00:19:49,900
church, and you're going to hear
some practical steps later in 

110
00:19:49,900 --> 00:19:53,200
the Gathering, how you can join 
us on Misha, but one way that we

111
00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:56,500
all can do right now is be 
thinking about and praying about

112
00:19:56,500 --> 00:19:59,300
the people in your life that are
close to you. 

113
00:19:59,900 --> 00:20:03,400
But are far from God, pray for 
them and invite them. 

114
00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:06,300
God's got some exciting things 
happening here at real life. 

115
00:20:06,300 --> 00:20:08,400
In 2023. 
We just want to reach out to 

116
00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:14,000
them just like we want to reach 
out to you wherever you will 

117
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:19,200
guys 2023, it's January who out 
here made some resolutions. 

118
00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:22,700
Anybody make any resolutions? 
Maybe a better question. 

119
00:20:22,700 --> 00:20:24,700
Are you still keeping those 
resolutions? 

120
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:27,100
Have you fallen off the wagon. 
It's okay. 

121
00:20:27,100 --> 00:20:29,300
If you have, we know that change
is hard. 

122
00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:32,700
Change is super hard. 
And a lot of times what we do is

123
00:20:32,700 --> 00:20:36,100
we try to bite off the big chunk
and dive in headfirst into 

124
00:20:36,100 --> 00:20:39,900
something and we fail pretty 
quickly, but I'm here to tell 

125
00:20:39,900 --> 00:20:42,200
you today. 
If you fall in, if you failed, 

126
00:20:42,300 --> 00:20:44,000
no big deal, get back on that 
horse. 

127
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:49,000
But this time make small 
changes, small, habits and roll 

128
00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:53,300
those day in today. 
And see where God can take you. 

129
00:20:53,300 --> 00:20:56,000
I'm so stoked. 
As we continue this series to 

130
00:20:56,000 --> 00:21:01,100
see how God can use us as a 
church in 2023 and Sean's going 

131
00:21:01,100 --> 00:21:05,100
to come up here and lead us 
through how we can make 2023 

132
00:21:05,100 --> 00:21:09,200
your best year, yet your 
breakout year, give it up for 

133
00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:11,100
Sean Petrie. 
He's got a word. 

134
00:21:11,100 --> 00:21:14,100
Come on, man. 
Who's feeling blessed already 

135
00:21:14,100 --> 00:21:16,900
this year? 
Guess who I'm blessed. 

136
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:20,200
I know Drew man. 
He had a good week off, he's got

137
00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:22,600
some spiritual we dz8 some toy 
and last couple weeks. 

138
00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:25,600
So, I mean, I hope you guys had 
a great last Sunday, really 

139
00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:28,000
through family and home and I'll
say a special thanks to her 

140
00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:29,700
dream team. 
It's really the team that really

141
00:21:29,700 --> 00:21:32,300
puts this together and just kind
of tip of the spear for the 

142
00:21:32,300 --> 00:21:34,500
things of God. 
And I really want to say thank 

143
00:21:34,500 --> 00:21:37,400
you from by my heart for putting
together is to really all you do

144
00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:39,400
for the kingdom of God. 
And it's it may not feel like 

145
00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:42,600
you see it all the time, but 
every soul matters and to see 

146
00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:45,100
those people come to Christ last
year and decided to go public 

147
00:21:45,100 --> 00:21:47,200
through faith and you talking 
somebody every other week to 

148
00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:49,400
society. 
Get baptized and more than that,

149
00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:51,000
really into see their lives 
changed. 

150
00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:53,600
You play a part of every story. 
And so every number is really a 

151
00:21:53,608 --> 00:21:56,200
soul and the souls matter to 
God, so he could give up her 

152
00:21:56,200 --> 00:21:58,700
dream team and just say thank 
you for all they do make this 

153
00:21:58,700 --> 00:22:03,500
place happen. 
Well today we launch into the 

154
00:22:03,500 --> 00:22:07,100
second part of the series called
your breakout year and I believe

155
00:22:07,100 --> 00:22:09,400
God has put something very 
special on my heart today. 

156
00:22:09,900 --> 00:22:12,100
Something that's just been 
brewing inside of me and I've 

157
00:22:12,100 --> 00:22:14,900
been seeing in other people and 
seeing myself and I ruined it is

158
00:22:14,900 --> 00:22:19,100
diving this idea of what it is 
to reignite, maybe your personal

159
00:22:19,100 --> 00:22:21,700
passion but really more 
importantly, your spiritual 

160
00:22:21,700 --> 00:22:24,900
passion, your spiritual purpose 
in Christ. 

161
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:26,200
And so they I'm going to give 
you a message. 

162
00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:29,500
It really entitled ignition and 
it's really about taking off in 

163
00:22:29,500 --> 00:22:33,000
2023, amen. 
It's really maybe Missing Link. 

164
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:34,800
And I'm not going to give you a 
bunch of steps going to really 

165
00:22:34,900 --> 00:22:37,300
dive into one key thought today 
that reveal later. 

166
00:22:37,300 --> 00:22:39,400
And I believe it's just going to
help you take off in this year 

167
00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:42,900
in launching the things of God. 
And you think about New Year's 

168
00:22:42,900 --> 00:22:45,200
and it's really about 
resolutions as true kind of 

169
00:22:45,300 --> 00:22:47,400
point at and goals. 
And I'm not going to give you 

170
00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:51,200
really a speech on goals, but I 
will say this goals are super 

171
00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:53,300
powerful. 
Matter of fact that they really 

172
00:22:53,300 --> 00:22:56,100
have a big impact and I think 
about a study that was taken at 

173
00:22:56,100 --> 00:22:58,400
Stanford University. 
And it was a long study of a 

174
00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:01,100
15-year study, and they surveyed
a large amount of their students

175
00:23:01,100 --> 00:23:04,700
and the kind of track You had 
goals, it had plans and so they 

176
00:23:04,700 --> 00:23:07,800
asked these students and they 
came down to the only 16% of 

177
00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:13,000
people had actual goals or plans
and out of those 16, only 3% 

178
00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:16,200
actually had written goals and 
plans will attract this for 15 

179
00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:19,500
years and this word really gets 
interesting that they found that

180
00:23:19,500 --> 00:23:22,400
those that had goals, just in 
their mind, dead planes. 

181
00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:26,100
And our mind actually made twice
as much money as the rest of the

182
00:23:26,100 --> 00:23:28,000
80 would be 84 percent of 
people. 

183
00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:29,600
And that's pretty, pretty 
significant. 

184
00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:33,200
But, what's really crazy is that
the number of the 3% had written

185
00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:35,100
goals, they tracked and 15 years
later, and found out. 

186
00:23:35,100 --> 00:23:38,000
They made 10 times amount as 
money as all nice. 

187
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:39,600
And percent combined, is that 
crazy. 

188
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:43,000
And I lie to guys like this, 
like oh here we go, the gold 

189
00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:45,000
speech. 
Here comes the tension, you 

190
00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:47,000
know, like so your blood 
pressure went up, right? 

191
00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:51,500
Because statistically many if 
not most or like 97% of us. 

192
00:23:51,500 --> 00:23:53,800
Come on somebody. 
Do not have written goals. 

193
00:23:57,900 --> 00:23:59,600
I mean, who has written goals 
for this year? 

194
00:24:01,100 --> 00:24:04,400
Rochelle. 
So now you know, where to go ask

195
00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:07,900
money from. 
Come on somebody, I'm just 

196
00:24:07,900 --> 00:24:08,900
kidding. 
I'm just kidding. 

197
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:12,000
No, dude, be good, but the 
reality is for so many of us, we

198
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:13,400
don't get out of the starting 
block. 

199
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:17,100
Almost died on the starting 
block. 

200
00:24:17,100 --> 00:24:18,300
Come on somebody. 
Right? 

201
00:24:18,300 --> 00:24:21,200
Let's be praying for me, but we 
don't we don't gather starting 

202
00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:23,200
block. 
Well, we don't really get into 

203
00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:25,000
the race. 
That matter of fact, we like 

204
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:27,300
self sabotage yourself before 
you even get where God is 

205
00:24:27,300 --> 00:24:29,000
calling us to go. 
Because there's some voice in 

206
00:24:29,008 --> 00:24:31,900
her head and every one of us, we
Face these voices. 

207
00:24:31,900 --> 00:24:33,000
There's, there's his voice. 
That's it. 

208
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:34,500
On our shoulders. 
And you have the voice of God 

209
00:24:34,500 --> 00:24:37,000
and the Holy Spirit, you really 
got the voice of self and Satan 

210
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:38,800
and demons, and do your boring, 
right? 

211
00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:41,400
There's a voice that just so 
overbearing for so many of us 

212
00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:43,200
and its really voice to 
self-defeat. 

213
00:24:43,500 --> 00:24:48,100
There's A voice that says this. 
Why Try Why Try it? 

214
00:24:48,100 --> 00:24:50,500
Really comes down to really the 
self-defeat of Why Try. 

215
00:24:50,700 --> 00:24:53,400
You'll never make it look what 
happened last time. 

216
00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:55,600
You said their goal. 
Oh, you tried and failed. 

217
00:24:55,700 --> 00:24:59,100
And the enemy has a way of just 
twisting failure as defeat, 

218
00:24:59,100 --> 00:25:02,000
instead of a lesson, you didn't.
Learn is just a failure and over

219
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:03,600
and over is this voice that 
happens or had all the time, 

220
00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:05,900
you'll never make it white rice,
too difficult and there's 

221
00:25:05,900 --> 00:25:08,100
another voice that really speaks
into our heads and through the 

222
00:25:08,100 --> 00:25:11,400
voice of laziness. 
It's too much work. 

223
00:25:11,700 --> 00:25:14,300
Come on somebody, right? 
It's too hard. 

224
00:25:14,700 --> 00:25:16,600
Like, it's going to take extra 
effort. 

225
00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:20,300
That that seems to get up and do
some difference in these voices 

226
00:25:20,300 --> 00:25:22,300
are just worn our head. 
And we come to this point where 

227
00:25:22,300 --> 00:25:25,500
we really self sabotage yourself
out of the good things and its 

228
00:25:25,500 --> 00:25:27,800
really sad because there's so 
many things that we can talk 

229
00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:31,100
ourselves out of like Health. 
Come on somebody, I mean you're 

230
00:25:31,100 --> 00:25:33,900
like man, I know I should do 
this but in the voices come, 

231
00:25:33,900 --> 00:25:36,300
right? 
Or we talked about maybe 

232
00:25:36,300 --> 00:25:38,700
pursuing God and you know you 
are getting the word of God. 

233
00:25:38,700 --> 00:25:41,900
I said a spiritual goal. 
You know, and obviously people 

234
00:25:41,900 --> 00:25:44,500
talk themselves out of Heaven, 
you Lily, give them a book to 

235
00:25:44,500 --> 00:25:46,800
read the round, the custom-make 
sister Christ, and they're 

236
00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:49,000
having this great conversations 
and then it's like, I just don't

237
00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:51,400
know and then they just walk 
away because they've reached 

238
00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:54,300
themselves out of the feet away 
from Jesus. 

239
00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:57,000
Matt fact people talk themselves
out of making more money. 

240
00:25:57,400 --> 00:26:00,600
They talk to themselves at a of 
building their marriage. 

241
00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:02,900
I mean, it's like I know we 
should do something different 

242
00:26:02,900 --> 00:26:06,500
but man, I don't know if I can. 
You talk yourself out of 

243
00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:08,900
educating yourself of reading 
books. 

244
00:26:08,900 --> 00:26:10,800
Come on, somebody. 
Yeah, I know you're like, oh no,

245
00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:13,800
it should read some books, but 
can we talk ourselves out? 

246
00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:16,400
Learn this skill, and ultimately
can talk ourselves realistically

247
00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:20,300
out of the mission of God. 
It's so easy to sit on our 

248
00:26:20,300 --> 00:26:22,800
hands. 
It's so easy to stay more at. 

249
00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:25,300
We don't get out, the starting 
block, and so easy to really 

250
00:26:25,300 --> 00:26:28,200
self sabotage our future. 
And we're the ones that very 

251
00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:31,000
well do it more than anybody. 
And I mean, talk to myself a 

252
00:26:31,008 --> 00:26:32,900
little bit. 
See right where this written out

253
00:26:32,900 --> 00:26:35,200
goals, like where we leaning 
into its direction? 

254
00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:36,200
Do I have? 
And I would do something very 

255
00:26:36,200 --> 00:26:37,900
special day. 
I want to look at the life of 

256
00:26:37,900 --> 00:26:41,100
Paul and I want to just look at 
his Is Passion like what? 

257
00:26:41,100 --> 00:26:44,700
Ignited Paul's passion. 
Like what gave him this Zeal? 

258
00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:47,100
Like what made him go through 
all this hard stuff. 

259
00:26:47,100 --> 00:26:50,200
Me Shipwrecked and left for dead
and I mean he was they tried to 

260
00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:51,500
murder him the first day became 
a Christian. 

261
00:26:51,500 --> 00:26:53,400
Come on somebody. 
I mean, a lot of people can't 

262
00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:55,200
get up, go to church. 
Come on, right? 

263
00:26:55,500 --> 00:26:58,800
And Paul's being threatened to 
be killed and put other side of 

264
00:26:58,800 --> 00:27:01,100
a wall to hide from people. 
Trying to murder his first day, 

265
00:27:01,100 --> 00:27:03,200
becomes a Christian. 
Like, where does passion come 

266
00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:04,500
from? 
And I've heard this said, 

267
00:27:04,500 --> 00:27:06,500
there's two most important days 
of life, as they are born. 

268
00:27:07,100 --> 00:27:11,800
And they, you find out Why he 
has no it the day you find out 

269
00:27:11,800 --> 00:27:13,600
why? 
And that's my prayer for you 

270
00:27:13,608 --> 00:27:15,200
today. 
Is that the Holy Spirit would 

271
00:27:15,208 --> 00:27:21,200
just whisper into your heart? 
That this is why that you just 

272
00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:23,800
make room for God and you'd see 
the mission of God. 

273
00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:27,200
You see the call of God in your 
life and you'd be reinvigorated 

274
00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:28,500
for the things of God and say, 
hey! 

275
00:27:28,500 --> 00:27:31,100
This is why, amen. 
So I want you to fight. 

276
00:27:31,100 --> 00:27:32,500
You just close your eyes for a 
second. 

277
00:27:32,500 --> 00:27:34,900
I don't you invite the Holy 
Spirit just in next to you just 

278
00:27:34,900 --> 00:27:39,500
say God. 
Remind me of why I'm in the race

279
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:41,900
Now. 
Give me a purpose to wake up to 

280
00:27:42,500 --> 00:27:44,500
God. 
As of right, you to move in got 

281
00:27:44,500 --> 00:27:47,900
to making room for you to speak.
To me, don't make this my this 

282
00:27:47,900 --> 00:27:51,800
is why moment today in Jesus 
name. 

283
00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:54,700
Amen. 
And I want you to look at the 

284
00:27:54,700 --> 00:27:56,900
life of Paul in this story 
really starts out and I'm used 

285
00:27:56,900 --> 00:27:59,200
some background. 
He give me Paul says well I mean

286
00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:01,700
he's got a lot of background but
I'll give you a piece of what he

287
00:28:01,700 --> 00:28:03,800
says and spending Philippians 
chapter 3 verse 4. 

288
00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:06,500
It says this it mean if someone 
else thinks they have reason to 

289
00:28:06,600 --> 00:28:11,100
To put confidence in the flesh, 
I have more, I mean, if anybody 

290
00:28:11,100 --> 00:28:14,300
is good, I mean they could be 
self-righteous and his ability 

291
00:28:14,300 --> 00:28:17,100
to boast about great, they are 
and of accomplish things, man, 

292
00:28:17,100 --> 00:28:19,800
it's me, it's Paul and I was 
circumcised. 

293
00:28:19,800 --> 00:28:21,400
The eighth day. 
I was the people to Israel's 

294
00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:23,400
Tribe of Benjamin, the best of 
the best. 

295
00:28:23,400 --> 00:28:25,400
I was the elite. 
I was Hebrews of Hebrews. 

296
00:28:25,400 --> 00:28:27,300
I was in regards to the law, a 
Pharisee. 

297
00:28:27,300 --> 00:28:29,700
I was the leader of the law, 
memorize the books of the Bible.

298
00:28:29,700 --> 00:28:31,900
I knew the tour. 
I was perfectly righteous in the

299
00:28:31,900 --> 00:28:35,100
eyes of God and as for Zeal as 
her passion and he's so 

300
00:28:35,100 --> 00:28:36,400
passionate is persecuting the 
church. 

301
00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:41,000
As for righteousness based on 
the law when I was faultless you

302
00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:43,500
think about Paul before he 
became a Christian this man was 

303
00:28:43,500 --> 00:28:45,700
so full of himself. 
He had no room for God Amen. 

304
00:28:46,300 --> 00:28:48,600
I mean it really was he thought 
he figured it out. 

305
00:28:48,600 --> 00:28:50,700
Like he had all the right 
answers. 

306
00:28:50,700 --> 00:28:54,700
He's persecuting the church you 
find in Acts chapter 7 the the 

307
00:28:54,800 --> 00:28:57,000
first martyr in the New 
Testament you see Steven and 

308
00:28:57,200 --> 00:28:59,900
Paul's one holding the cloaks. 
He's holding people's coats as 

309
00:28:59,900 --> 00:29:03,000
they're throwing stones and 
killing Steven and he Paul just 

310
00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:06,700
gets this passion a Zeal for 
what he thinks is right and our 

311
00:29:06,700 --> 00:29:09,300
fact he starts arresting 
Christians and it's amazing. 

312
00:29:09,300 --> 00:29:10,600
I just want to stop here for a 
second. 

313
00:29:10,700 --> 00:29:15,000
It's amazing how God used Paul 
in a mighty way. 

314
00:29:15,100 --> 00:29:17,200
Amen. 
It really is amazing. 

315
00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:20,200
You have you have a you have a 
murderer somebody that was it 

316
00:29:20,200 --> 00:29:23,300
was going after Christians and 
killing them and then is 

317
00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:25,900
transformed by the power of 
Christ by the Holy Spirit, you 

318
00:29:25,900 --> 00:29:27,600
know called his life and also 
said he's going to he's 

319
00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:30,500
converting people far from God 
to Christianity. 

320
00:29:30,500 --> 00:29:33,000
Amen. 
He went from destroying the 

321
00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:35,200
church to developing leaders in 
the church. 

322
00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:36,400
Amen. 
Amen. 

323
00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:38,800
You look at the last four books 
that Paul wrote he wrote 

324
00:29:38,800 --> 00:29:43,000
specifically to leaders in the 
church like he's launching the 

325
00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:45,100
church. 
Matter fact, almost 40% New 

326
00:29:45,100 --> 00:29:47,900
Testament is written by Paul but
Paul was on fire. 

327
00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:50,600
He was ignited by the things of 
God. 

328
00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:52,500
That's what say you day. 
You're never too messed up for 

329
00:29:52,500 --> 00:29:55,800
God to use you. 
Amen you never to my stuff. 

330
00:29:56,000 --> 00:29:59,100
You're never too messed up to 
add value to the kingdom of God.

331
00:29:59,300 --> 00:30:02,100
I mean, if there's breath in 
your lungs, which own care 

332
00:30:02,100 --> 00:30:03,700
guaranteed, none. 
Amen. 

333
00:30:04,200 --> 00:30:07,700
God has a purpose for you. 
And the reality is this no 

334
00:30:07,708 --> 00:30:10,900
matter how dirty you are messed 
up this season is or what have 

335
00:30:10,900 --> 00:30:13,100
you did? 
You're never to duty dirty for 

336
00:30:13,100 --> 00:30:14,300
God to love you. 
Amen. 

337
00:30:14,800 --> 00:30:17,100
You're never. 
And we get hung up on this like 

338
00:30:17,100 --> 00:30:18,700
I'm not good enough. 
I can't make it. 

339
00:30:18,800 --> 00:30:21,400
I was going to encourage you. 
The question isn't are you 

340
00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:24,700
precious to God? 
That's not the question because 

341
00:30:24,700 --> 00:30:25,900
we have God's grace. 
Amen. 

342
00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:29,300
God loved you through your sin. 
That's God's grace. 

343
00:30:29,300 --> 00:30:31,900
He cares for you. 
You can never be too far from 

344
00:30:31,900 --> 00:30:33,100
God for God. 
Not to love you. 

345
00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:36,400
The real question in 2023 is God
precious. 

346
00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:42,100
Youyou is got precious to you, 
like it is here, like you got 

347
00:30:42,100 --> 00:30:46,000
your ear to the Holy Spirit like
you walking with him. 

348
00:30:46,300 --> 00:30:49,300
That that's really the question 
because out of that is birth 

349
00:30:49,300 --> 00:30:52,900
your call and your passion that 
drives, really everything else 

350
00:30:52,900 --> 00:30:54,700
in your life, something much 
deeper than a goal. 

351
00:30:54,900 --> 00:30:57,700
So, when you look back at Paul's
story and what really knighted 

352
00:30:57,700 --> 00:31:01,500
his faith and really back into 
really his conversion, and he 

353
00:31:01,500 --> 00:31:05,100
says this in Romans 15 is so 
last chapter of Romans, he says 

354
00:31:05,100 --> 00:31:07,300
this, he says, therefore I Talk 
about Paul. 

355
00:31:07,300 --> 00:31:09,700
I glory in Christ Jesus and my 
service to God. 

356
00:31:09,900 --> 00:31:13,700
I will not venture to speak of 
anything except for Christ is 

357
00:31:13,708 --> 00:31:16,300
accomplished through me. 
I'm not gonna talk about 

358
00:31:16,300 --> 00:31:17,800
anything else. 
Am I going to boast in anything?

359
00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:20,300
I've done with my human ability 
but I will boast in. 

360
00:31:20,300 --> 00:31:23,500
This only says in leading the 
Gentiles to obey. 

361
00:31:23,500 --> 00:31:26,400
God teaching you obedient right?
Matthew 28. 

362
00:31:26,600 --> 00:31:28,900
I'm not going to post anything. 
Everything secondary to the 

363
00:31:28,900 --> 00:31:31,600
mission that God had me on. 
It's the only thing that matters

364
00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:35,300
Souls matter to Paulette men 
because they're on the heart of 

365
00:31:35,300 --> 00:31:38,400
God. 
He said this on both anything 

366
00:31:38,400 --> 00:31:41,100
but what I've said or done but 
the by the power of signs and 

367
00:31:41,100 --> 00:31:43,400
wonders through the power of the
Holy Spirit. 

368
00:31:43,400 --> 00:31:46,600
And so from Jerusalem, all the 
way around to a liquor IAM, this

369
00:31:46,600 --> 00:31:48,900
is the place where you travel to
his missionary Journeys. 

370
00:31:48,900 --> 00:31:53,100
He says I fully proclaimed, the 
gospel of Christ made, wouldn't 

371
00:31:53,100 --> 00:31:56,100
that be a goal for our lives? 
The fully proclaim, the gospel 

372
00:31:56,100 --> 00:32:01,300
of Christ and has always been my
what helped me out my So do my 

373
00:32:01,300 --> 00:32:06,300
mission, it's always been my 
desire since day one, my passion

374
00:32:06,300 --> 00:32:10,300
my drive since the beginning, my
purpose was to preach the gospel

375
00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:13,500
where Christ was not known. 
So I would not be building on 

376
00:32:13,500 --> 00:32:16,600
someone else's Foundation rather
as it is written. 

377
00:32:16,900 --> 00:32:20,000
There's this verse that Paul is 
going to quote and found Isaiah 

378
00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:22,300
52. 
This verse was in the heart of 

379
00:32:22,300 --> 00:32:25,900
God or in the heart of Paul from
God and it drove his ministry. 

380
00:32:25,900 --> 00:32:28,200
It was the birthplace really of 
his passion. 

381
00:32:28,200 --> 00:32:30,800
He says this those who are not 
told about Got him. 

382
00:32:30,800 --> 00:32:32,900
We'll see. 
Jesus and those who have not 

383
00:32:32,900 --> 00:32:35,300
heard will understand, really 
the gospel. 

384
00:32:35,600 --> 00:32:38,200
And so we get some insights here
from Paul really about real. 

385
00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:41,600
His where is your passion came 
from and really season bishan 

386
00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:45,700
was was to preach the good news 
to those who never heard to on 

387
00:32:45,700 --> 00:32:47,800
his first day that he's always 
been a since day. 

388
00:32:47,800 --> 00:32:51,100
One, this has been his passion 
and almost say this about Paul 

389
00:32:51,200 --> 00:32:53,300
see Paul found his. 
Why not in the day that was born

390
00:32:53,300 --> 00:32:56,600
but the day he was born again. 
Amen. 

391
00:32:57,400 --> 00:32:59,000
The day you was born again is 
where he found his. 

392
00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:03,900
Why like, you cannot unmarried 
the gospel from your passion and

393
00:33:03,900 --> 00:33:04,900
drive in life. 
Amen. 

394
00:33:05,500 --> 00:33:08,700
Because that's why we're here. 
And so Paul, like he was born 

395
00:33:08,700 --> 00:33:11,700
again, and he didn't find his 
passion and drive in life and 

396
00:33:11,700 --> 00:33:14,100
something accomplished with his 
human hands in his own power and

397
00:33:14,100 --> 00:33:16,200
his own strength in his own, a 
building, his own 

398
00:33:16,200 --> 00:33:18,400
self-righteousness and the 
things of the world, then we 

399
00:33:18,400 --> 00:33:21,200
found it in. 
Jesus, matter of fact, when 

400
00:33:21,500 --> 00:33:25,200
Jesus found him and Acts chapter
9, he was persecuting 

401
00:33:25,200 --> 00:33:27,300
Christians. 
He was trying to get orders to 

402
00:33:27,300 --> 00:33:30,500
arrest churches and kill 
Christians, and Jesus found him 

403
00:33:30,500 --> 00:33:34,800
on the road, right? 
And that light shined in Paul's 

404
00:33:34,800 --> 00:33:37,000
eyes, and blinded him is a who 
is this? 

405
00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:40,300
And he said, this is Jesus and 
that was Paul's, oh, poop 

406
00:33:40,300 --> 00:33:42,200
moment. 
Come on somebody, right? 

407
00:33:42,600 --> 00:33:44,600
Because, you know, if your are 
blinded her scales in your face 

408
00:33:44,600 --> 00:33:46,900
and you know, the god, the 
Living God of all creation, who 

409
00:33:46,900 --> 00:33:50,200
you've killed his followers, and
you've talked blasted against 

410
00:33:50,200 --> 00:33:52,300
all these things is in front of 
you. 

411
00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:55,100
You're wondering if you're going
to get zapped into eternity, 

412
00:33:55,100 --> 00:33:56,900
come on. 
Just boom. 

413
00:33:56,900 --> 00:33:59,600
I'm you can see the just the 
amount of sweat and fear and 

414
00:33:59,600 --> 00:34:02,900
everything upon Paul and this is
just Jesus as leading Paul to 

415
00:34:02,900 --> 00:34:04,300
Jesus. 
Come on somebody, right? 

416
00:34:04,500 --> 00:34:07,100
I mean this fear because he is 
gone the wrong direction. 

417
00:34:07,300 --> 00:34:10,199
And since day one and his faith,
he's born again, this is what he

418
00:34:10,199 --> 00:34:12,699
says, he tells don't test me in 
Galatians, this is his first 

419
00:34:12,699 --> 00:34:14,199
book. 
He writes, Galatians chapter 1 

420
00:34:14,199 --> 00:34:17,199
verse 11, tells a story. 
I want you to know Brothers and 

421
00:34:17,199 --> 00:34:19,300
Sisters of the Gospel. 
I preach is not of human origin.

422
00:34:19,600 --> 00:34:22,800
I didn't receive it from man. 
No, he didn't, nor was I taught 

423
00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:25,800
it rather isolated by Revelation
from Jesus Christ. 

424
00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:29,400
So, but who can say that Jesus 
led me to Jesus, and I was 

425
00:34:29,400 --> 00:34:32,199
terrified for. 
Yeah, I've heard of my previous 

426
00:34:32,199 --> 00:34:34,400
way of Judaism. 
I'm intensely, how I persecuted 

427
00:34:34,400 --> 00:34:36,400
the church and I tried to 
destroy it. 

428
00:34:36,600 --> 00:34:39,300
I was advancing your Judaism 
beyond my own age because, you 

429
00:34:39,300 --> 00:34:40,699
know, he's told my self 
righteousness, right? 

430
00:34:40,699 --> 00:34:42,900
Among people is extremely 
zealous of the traditions of my 

431
00:34:42,900 --> 00:34:46,300
father, but when God come on, 
somebody who knows, this is what

432
00:34:46,300 --> 00:34:47,900
changed for you life to there's 
that. 

433
00:34:47,900 --> 00:34:51,199
But when God moment and 
everything shifted for you, and 

434
00:34:51,199 --> 00:34:55,199
what when God set me apart, when
God purposed me, when God 

435
00:34:55,199 --> 00:34:57,900
changed my My life because I 
realized who he was and says 

436
00:34:57,900 --> 00:35:01,000
this, when God sent me apart 
from my mother's womb and called

437
00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:03,700
me by his grace was, please 
reveal his son in me. 

438
00:35:03,700 --> 00:35:08,400
So, I might help me, I might 
what might preach the boys can 

439
00:35:08,400 --> 00:35:12,500
be called to be a preacher of 
God preached Jesus among the 

440
00:35:12,500 --> 00:35:14,300
Gentiles. 
Among those who never heard 

441
00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:17,400
among those far from God. 
Can I say really quickly? 

442
00:35:17,400 --> 00:35:21,000
You are purpose from God. 
You are purpose from God. 

443
00:35:21,200 --> 00:35:22,800
They got, you're not here to 
take up space. 

444
00:35:22,800 --> 00:35:25,600
Amen. 
We're not here to fill a seat. 

445
00:35:26,100 --> 00:35:29,400
You're not here to make it 
through 2023 and survive here. 

446
00:35:29,400 --> 00:35:32,500
Live for the weekend, your 
purpose by God, there's breath 

447
00:35:32,500 --> 00:35:34,500
in your lungs were called to do 
something about it. 

448
00:35:34,500 --> 00:35:37,100
And the main thing is really 
share, Jesus and Obey. 

449
00:35:37,100 --> 00:35:40,300
Jesus fall in love with Jesus, 
your set apart on a mission from

450
00:35:40,300 --> 00:35:42,700
the womb. 
In other words, you were made 

451
00:35:42,700 --> 00:35:47,400
for this literally think about 
it made for this. 

452
00:35:47,500 --> 00:35:49,700
The reason you're put together 
is because you're going to be 

453
00:35:49,700 --> 00:35:52,900
called by God to live on mission
on purpose for the things of 

454
00:35:52,900 --> 00:35:54,800
Christ. 
In fact, the day you were born 

455
00:35:54,800 --> 00:35:58,100
again, the spirit of God would 
whisper into your soul. 

456
00:35:58,400 --> 00:36:04,200
This is why. 
Amen, this is why you're not 

457
00:36:04,200 --> 00:36:06,500
Ambassador for Christ. 
It really is a matter what 

458
00:36:06,500 --> 00:36:08,700
career path and all the things 
of this world. 

459
00:36:08,700 --> 00:36:10,700
What really matters is what did 
you do with Jesus? 

460
00:36:11,000 --> 00:36:14,200
What is your passion and drive 
to to bring her co-workers to 

461
00:36:14,200 --> 00:36:16,900
Christ or the friend of the 
neighbor or the person? 

462
00:36:16,900 --> 00:36:19,300
Maybe you don't like come on 
somebody right by Walmart 

463
00:36:19,300 --> 00:36:22,300
buddies, right? 
Like we're is that and that's 

464
00:36:22,300 --> 00:36:24,700
what God is calling us to do. 
Matter of fact, I'll say this. 

465
00:36:24,700 --> 00:36:27,300
You can't, you can't discover 
your purpose apart from God. 

466
00:36:27,800 --> 00:36:30,700
You can't find it anywhere. 
You can't find it in self-help. 

467
00:36:30,700 --> 00:36:33,100
You can't find it in money. 
You can't find it being 

468
00:36:33,100 --> 00:36:34,700
self-actualized. 
Sorry Maslow. 

469
00:36:34,800 --> 00:36:37,500
Come on, right? 
He took psychology come. 

470
00:36:37,500 --> 00:36:39,900
All right, a long time ago, 
right? 

471
00:36:40,700 --> 00:36:43,200
But you have a God, right? 
Who has given you a purpose, 

472
00:36:43,300 --> 00:36:46,300
it's in your DNA. 
Come on, it flows in your veins,

473
00:36:46,300 --> 00:36:49,600
it's in your bones, amen. 
This is where it comes from. 

474
00:36:49,700 --> 00:36:52,100
And so, for Paul, like all of a 
sudden, his whole life was 

475
00:36:52,100 --> 00:36:55,200
wrecked for Jesus, And God gave 
him a lie. 

476
00:36:55,300 --> 00:36:58,000
And so in the Christian faith, 
when people say well, I can 

477
00:36:58,000 --> 00:37:01,700
soar, it's too hard or it's not 
possible or like it's, this is 

478
00:37:01,700 --> 00:37:04,700
self-defeat and all this. 
Like you get laziness all these 

479
00:37:04,700 --> 00:37:07,500
things. 
That's the flesh speaking, that 

480
00:37:07,500 --> 00:37:09,700
that's Satan, that that's not 
the things of God. 

481
00:37:09,700 --> 00:37:12,200
Amen? 
Because you're serving a living 

482
00:37:12,200 --> 00:37:14,200
God, who has given you a call 
and on Mission. 

483
00:37:14,200 --> 00:37:16,700
So we don't use those words. 
Those are the words we choose 

484
00:37:16,700 --> 00:37:18,900
the were we get up and say, okay
God you give me a purpose of 

485
00:37:18,900 --> 00:37:20,100
that. 
What's your purpose for me 

486
00:37:20,100 --> 00:37:21,800
today? 
Like I'm going to live on 

487
00:37:21,900 --> 00:37:24,300
Mission today. 
Look what happened. 

488
00:37:24,300 --> 00:37:26,400
When Paul found is why this is 
incredible, Paul became a 

489
00:37:26,408 --> 00:37:28,500
Christian and he's on, he's on 
the road, right? 

490
00:37:28,500 --> 00:37:30,800
And he has skills in space, and 
then there's a whole situation 

491
00:37:30,800 --> 00:37:32,400
occurs. 
We're Jesus ends up in 

492
00:37:32,400 --> 00:37:35,000
Jerusalem, heard Paul ends up in
Jerusalem in the scales fall 

493
00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:37,500
from space and Paul starts 
preaching day one. 

494
00:37:37,500 --> 00:37:40,900
He starts proclaiming the gospel
day one, he says going around, 

495
00:37:40,900 --> 00:37:43,200
he's basically telling people. 
He was wrong and now they're 

496
00:37:43,200 --> 00:37:45,700
wrong and they change and they 
didn't receive it. 

497
00:37:45,700 --> 00:37:48,200
Very well, right, y'all been 
that church come on somebody, 

498
00:37:48,200 --> 00:37:49,700
right? 
They didn't receive very well 

499
00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:51,800
and so basically, they went to 
kill him. 

500
00:37:52,100 --> 00:37:56,000
I mean these so he's Escaping 
the City by other disciples so 

501
00:37:56,000 --> 00:37:58,200
he can survive. 
Now I know what your first week 

502
00:37:58,200 --> 00:38:01,300
if you come to Christian look 
like come on somebody about how 

503
00:38:01,300 --> 00:38:03,900
hard that was but I guarantee 
you it didn't look anything like

504
00:38:03,900 --> 00:38:07,200
this but his face was real day 
one that s. 

505
00:38:07,200 --> 00:38:08,800
There was no pretending there 
was no game. 

506
00:38:08,800 --> 00:38:12,100
It was like Oh my Jesus is real 
and so he started proclaiming 

507
00:38:12,100 --> 00:38:15,000
the name of Jesus. 
It is something very unique that

508
00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:19,300
he's called into the Wilderness.
He leaves the crowd, the people,

509
00:38:19,300 --> 00:38:22,500
the mission of reaching people 
in that season and he goes and 

510
00:38:22,500 --> 00:38:23,600
he spends time in the 
wilderness. 

511
00:38:23,800 --> 00:38:27,500
Yes, it's a desert and tradition
says that he spent time with 

512
00:38:27,500 --> 00:38:29,500
Jesus. 
This was Paul's an apostle. 

513
00:38:29,500 --> 00:38:32,200
He you'd be Apostle you have to 
actually been with Jesus. 

514
00:38:32,600 --> 00:38:36,200
And so Paul is with Jesus and 
having conversations with Jesus,

515
00:38:36,200 --> 00:38:39,500
in the wilderness is being 
discipled or led by Jesus. 

516
00:38:39,500 --> 00:38:42,500
And I just think about like 
this, like a fireside chat, 

517
00:38:42,500 --> 00:38:44,800
right? 
Like imagine like a campfire and

518
00:38:44,800 --> 00:38:47,700
Paul stand there, or sitting 
there next to Jesus and making 

519
00:38:47,700 --> 00:38:50,400
eye contact and and you know, 
you're asking Jesus all these 

520
00:38:50,400 --> 00:38:52,600
questions. 
And I think the main thing that 

521
00:38:52,600 --> 00:38:56,100
you'd pick up on is In the heart
of God, because only what's on 

522
00:38:56,100 --> 00:38:57,100
God's heart should be on our 
heart. 

523
00:38:57,100 --> 00:39:00,300
Amen. 
And so, Paul is like a g, what's

524
00:39:00,300 --> 00:39:03,200
on your heart? 
Like, why would you do all this?

525
00:39:03,500 --> 00:39:06,500
And I think if you just, I'm 
speculating here, right? 

526
00:39:06,700 --> 00:39:09,800
But if you go back, there's a, 
there's a passage in Isaiah, the

527
00:39:09,800 --> 00:39:11,500
Paul referred to in his own 
life. 

528
00:39:11,700 --> 00:39:15,000
And it's not as a 52 and maybe 
Jesus would open this passage 

529
00:39:15,100 --> 00:39:18,700
and just describe a little bit 
about who he is as a fitted to 

530
00:39:18,700 --> 00:39:20,800
it says this look, my servant 
will succeed. 

531
00:39:20,800 --> 00:39:22,200
This is talking about Jesus 
himself. 

532
00:39:22,200 --> 00:39:25,100
Look, I will succeed. 
And I'll be elevated. 

533
00:39:25,200 --> 00:39:27,600
I'll be lifted high and greatly 
exalted. 

534
00:39:27,600 --> 00:39:29,900
Just as many were horrified by 
the sight of you. 

535
00:39:29,900 --> 00:39:32,200
He wouldn't talk about Paul but 
Paul would relate to this very 

536
00:39:32,200 --> 00:39:33,700
quickly because they are tried 
to kill him. 

537
00:39:34,100 --> 00:39:38,100
He said, I was so disfigured. 
I no longer look like a man, if 

538
00:39:38,100 --> 00:39:42,500
my form was so marred. 
I no longer looked human and as 

539
00:39:42,500 --> 00:39:45,400
Paul sat there with Jesus, Jesus
would be counts, he would 

540
00:39:45,400 --> 00:39:48,700
reiterate and he would share was
like, to be crucified. 

541
00:39:49,300 --> 00:39:52,800
He would talk about the crown of
thorns as pushed into his scalp 

542
00:39:53,200 --> 00:39:57,100
and how I felt with the the 
nails push through his his 

543
00:39:57,100 --> 00:40:00,800
wrists and his ankles and he 
would look at Paul talking about

544
00:40:00,800 --> 00:40:03,700
the tension of not calling on 
the angels to wipe out Humanity 

545
00:40:03,700 --> 00:40:07,100
because he loves Humanity. 
He walked through the whole 

546
00:40:07,100 --> 00:40:12,100
story, all the pain, the horror 
of being disfigured as a human 

547
00:40:12,100 --> 00:40:14,700
that nobody recognize them and 
say Paul. 

548
00:40:15,100 --> 00:40:18,100
I did it for you. 
Amen. 

549
00:40:19,100 --> 00:40:22,800
I did it for you. 
But I didn't just do for you. 

550
00:40:23,700 --> 00:40:27,200
I did it for them. 
Those people had to go back to 

551
00:40:27,200 --> 00:40:29,400
you. 
I did it for love, all those 

552
00:40:29,400 --> 00:40:34,500
Gentiles and all the kings, and 
all the nations in, Jesus would 

553
00:40:34,500 --> 00:40:37,400
have quoted. 
This verse may be ready. 

554
00:40:38,200 --> 00:40:42,600
He said I will startle some 
versus a Sprinkle really means 

555
00:40:42,600 --> 00:40:45,800
cleanse, the nation's, it's like
this priest, like, sprinkling 

556
00:40:45,800 --> 00:40:48,600
water over the nations with the 
gospel, like I will cleanse the 

557
00:40:48,600 --> 00:40:53,300
Nations fall and Kings will 
Stand speechless and my presents

558
00:40:53,600 --> 00:40:57,700
the greatest among all grades in
this world will chew jaw dropped

559
00:40:57,700 --> 00:41:01,000
at the name of Jesus for. 
They will see what they have not

560
00:41:01,000 --> 00:41:05,600
been told and they'll understand
within I heard about and from 

561
00:41:05,600 --> 00:41:07,700
this moment on this would have 
Paul's life worse. 

562
00:41:07,700 --> 00:41:10,000
Amen. 
He just changed his. 

563
00:41:10,000 --> 00:41:11,800
Tell a story in the first thing 
he says, is let me tell you 

564
00:41:11,800 --> 00:41:14,200
about something. 
He says there's nations of you 

565
00:41:14,200 --> 00:41:15,300
changed. 
It starts quoting. 

566
00:41:15,300 --> 00:41:19,200
This verse, we think that came 
from that passion is just set 

567
00:41:19,200 --> 00:41:21,400
into his heart. 
It's his passion with Why Paul's

568
00:41:21,400 --> 00:41:22,900
life to bring the gospel to all 
people? 

569
00:41:23,800 --> 00:41:25,500
He surrendered his heart to the 
heart of God. 

570
00:41:25,700 --> 00:41:27,900
See, Paul do the reality that 
the nation's working to reach 

571
00:41:27,900 --> 00:41:28,800
themselves. 
Amen. 

572
00:41:30,000 --> 00:41:31,600
If no one tells them to never 
hear. 

573
00:41:32,400 --> 00:41:35,100
How will they hear without 
somebody telling them? 

574
00:41:35,400 --> 00:41:40,400
This is Paul, this is Romans 10,
he's sharing this heart at 

575
00:41:40,400 --> 00:41:42,300
church. 
It's like how is it empty? 

576
00:41:42,300 --> 00:41:45,500
See going to make disciples. 
There's a lot of great messages 

577
00:41:45,500 --> 00:41:51,200
preached around the world NBC's.
They really are the Paul got it.

578
00:41:51,500 --> 00:41:54,000
He's like, I'm called, like I 
understand. 

579
00:41:54,000 --> 00:41:56,000
It's our honor to go after the 
things of God. 

580
00:41:56,700 --> 00:41:58,200
It's all know about you, but 
have you surrendered to the 

581
00:41:58,207 --> 00:42:00,800
heart of God? 
Have you put your ear to the 

582
00:42:00,800 --> 00:42:02,800
Holy Spirit? 
Have you listened? 

583
00:42:03,100 --> 00:42:07,100
I mean, if God can save somebody
like me, This is your town 

584
00:42:07,100 --> 00:42:11,000
yourself that as well as me that
I need to tell somebody else. 

585
00:42:11,000 --> 00:42:14,100
Amen. 
I mean, if God willing to reach 

586
00:42:14,100 --> 00:42:18,600
our city, he would already done 
it, but he chooses use us. 

587
00:42:18,700 --> 00:42:21,100
Amen, and that's what we're here
for. 

588
00:42:21,600 --> 00:42:25,200
We're here to make God big to 
show off his glory, his power, 

589
00:42:25,200 --> 00:42:28,500
his strength in the faith, we 
have in Jesus, we lived out to a

590
00:42:28,508 --> 00:42:32,100
loss of Dying World, where a 
light, come on, somebody who we 

591
00:42:32,100 --> 00:42:34,800
don't sit on our hands under a 
basket. 

592
00:42:35,400 --> 00:42:36,800
We shine to the world. 
Amen. 

593
00:42:37,400 --> 00:42:38,800
That's what God's called us to 
do. 

594
00:42:39,100 --> 00:42:41,200
My bachelor, cool about Paul, he
would go on to stand before 

595
00:42:41,200 --> 00:42:42,800
Kings. 
It's pretty cool. 

596
00:42:43,500 --> 00:42:45,300
That fact you'll find that Acts 
26 T. 

597
00:42:45,400 --> 00:42:49,200
He goes for the governor Festus.
He's sitting in jail this point 

598
00:42:49,400 --> 00:42:52,000
and they switched out some 
governor's and festive shows up 

599
00:42:52,000 --> 00:42:53,800
and he's kind of confused on 
what to do with Paul because 

600
00:42:53,800 --> 00:42:56,800
he's like, I will have a reason 
to send the wrong but he wants 

601
00:42:56,800 --> 00:42:58,400
to go. 
But I don't even tell Rome. 

602
00:42:58,500 --> 00:43:00,200
So he calls on the Buddy of his 
who was King. 

603
00:43:00,200 --> 00:43:03,400
Agrippa, this is the first time 
that Paul gets to share the 

604
00:43:03,400 --> 00:43:06,300
gospel of this King if you get a
chance to read Acts 26, I mean 

605
00:43:06,300 --> 00:43:09,100
he lays it out cold. 
I mean he's just there and then 

606
00:43:09,100 --> 00:43:11,400
Fest this is like hey you need 
to calm down, you're going crazy

607
00:43:11,400 --> 00:43:14,300
is, I'm not crazy and this Those
not crazy because he knows the 

608
00:43:14,300 --> 00:43:16,300
ways of this Faith. 
He's ours laying out to King 

609
00:43:16,300 --> 00:43:17,800
Agrippa. 
There's one this verse in the 

610
00:43:17,800 --> 00:43:19,100
Bible. 
This makes your hair stand on 

611
00:43:19,100 --> 00:43:22,300
end because it's like, I mean, I
hope that's not me because Ken 

612
00:43:22,300 --> 00:43:26,200
Griffey makes this comment. 
He says, you were so close to 

613
00:43:26,200 --> 00:43:31,600
persuade people. 
But you're not going to so many 

614
00:43:31,600 --> 00:43:34,600
people. 
He left unchanged by the gospel 

615
00:43:34,800 --> 00:43:37,400
and Paul is lays it out for. 
It's just so amazing because you

616
00:43:37,400 --> 00:43:41,000
standing in front of Kings like 
this verse that Jesus has given 

617
00:43:41,000 --> 00:43:44,200
them is coming true. 
Matter of fact, Paul if you know

618
00:43:44,200 --> 00:43:47,300
a story is sent off to Rome. 
He's appealed as a Roman 

619
00:43:47,300 --> 00:43:49,800
citizen. 
So he took that direction and 

620
00:43:49,800 --> 00:43:51,600
he's sitting there and it in 
Philippians 4. 

621
00:43:51,600 --> 00:43:54,700
He's friends with the household 
of Caesar like the guards, the 

622
00:43:54,707 --> 00:43:59,000
people of family members, right?
And it says also in Acts 20. 

623
00:43:59,100 --> 00:44:01,700
Seven that he's gonna stand for 
the a it's not found in the 

624
00:44:01,700 --> 00:44:04,600
Bible read out, but we know full
heartedly that Jesus would have 

625
00:44:04,900 --> 00:44:09,400
Jesus Jesus welcomed us that 
Paul would have stood before 

626
00:44:09,400 --> 00:44:14,000
Emperor Nero Nero, the Ceaser of
Rome and shared the gospel. 

627
00:44:14,100 --> 00:44:17,500
How crazy is that that your 
audience would be really the 

628
00:44:17,500 --> 00:44:21,300
most powerful human in that 
moment of time in existence. 

629
00:44:21,300 --> 00:44:24,400
Paul worked his way over God, 
moved him in that direction 

630
00:44:24,400 --> 00:44:26,500
because he's willing to be 
passionate enough to be 

631
00:44:26,500 --> 00:44:29,000
arrested, and shipwreck, and 
left for dead at home. 

632
00:44:29,600 --> 00:44:31,300
Threats against him because he 
had a call on his life. 

633
00:44:31,300 --> 00:44:34,800
Amen. 
This this is, this is, this is 

634
00:44:34,800 --> 00:44:40,000
just the beginning of the Gospel
spreading to really our world 

635
00:44:40,100 --> 00:44:43,100
because a man like Paul was just
faithful to the call of God does

636
00:44:43,100 --> 00:44:44,700
laughs. 
You know, I would say this poll 

637
00:44:44,700 --> 00:44:48,600
didn't do a citizen's, you can't
miss this, but Paul didn't do. 

638
00:44:48,600 --> 00:44:49,400
It is. 
So we people. 

639
00:44:49,400 --> 00:44:53,300
It's like man of God who shows 
up this year, God's in a recent 

640
00:44:53,300 --> 00:44:57,900
people and they wait for God to 
move a mountain or solve the 

641
00:44:57,900 --> 00:44:59,900
problem. 
It's like, dude, that's why God 

642
00:44:59,900 --> 00:45:01,000
put you there. 
Amen. 

643
00:45:02,000 --> 00:45:04,800
Like you're there to move. 
See Paul had a call on his life,

644
00:45:04,800 --> 00:45:08,200
but he also had calloused hands.
Amen, he went out. 

645
00:45:08,400 --> 00:45:11,800
It was hard work. 
That's a scary word but it was 

646
00:45:11,800 --> 00:45:14,500
worth it. 
Who knows the fortune favors the

647
00:45:14,500 --> 00:45:17,900
Bold, like the like the cause of
Christ means for for those who 

648
00:45:17,900 --> 00:45:20,800
have bold faith and Paul had the
both faith. 

649
00:45:21,000 --> 00:45:24,400
It looked like the way that he 
writes a story, but who exactly 

650
00:45:24,400 --> 00:45:26,400
where God willing to be lived on
Mission. 

651
00:45:26,400 --> 00:45:29,800
He took action even though he 
would have been defeated in a 

652
00:45:29,800 --> 00:45:33,300
threats and he was a tent maker.
But here's a visually cool, he 

653
00:45:33,300 --> 00:45:36,200
had a plan, I think about Paul, 
I chanted plan, he had a 

654
00:45:36,207 --> 00:45:38,600
strategy, he knew what he's 
trying to do. 

655
00:45:38,600 --> 00:45:41,000
There's a reason that Paul was 
trying to get two kings and 

656
00:45:41,000 --> 00:45:44,300
leaders and governors, it wasn't
an accident like that was his 

657
00:45:44,300 --> 00:45:46,800
mission. 
And look at the Romans 15 23, 

658
00:45:46,800 --> 00:45:49,500
says this, since I, this is 
being Paul have been longing for

659
00:45:49,500 --> 00:45:55,600
many years to visit you. 
I what, how about I, I plan to 

660
00:45:55,600 --> 00:45:57,500
biblical precedents, have a 
plan, come on, somebody. 

661
00:45:58,600 --> 00:46:01,600
He had a plan, like, in his mind
and his heart out. 

662
00:46:01,700 --> 00:46:03,600
I think had a business plan. 
Come on somebody, I think it 

663
00:46:03,600 --> 00:46:05,800
shows less thing out of stone to
carry around on the parchment or

664
00:46:05,800 --> 00:46:09,100
something, but he had a plan, 
hit a plane to go visit these 

665
00:46:09,100 --> 00:46:12,200
people in Rome when he's going 
to go to Spain, who knows that, 

666
00:46:12,300 --> 00:46:14,000
you know, Paul's going to go to 
state. 

667
00:46:14,100 --> 00:46:14,900
Maybe there's news for you 
today. 

668
00:46:14,900 --> 00:46:17,200
But Paul tried to read the 
gospel around the world. 

669
00:46:17,900 --> 00:46:20,100
I love about the Bible, she can 
find every place in the Bible. 

670
00:46:20,400 --> 00:46:23,000
Come on somebody, there's a lot 
of religious books, you can't 

671
00:46:23,000 --> 00:46:26,900
find him place in Saint Paul, is
that your Spanos was right about

672
00:46:27,000 --> 00:46:28,700
and Paul is to bring the gospel 
to Spain. 

673
00:46:28,900 --> 00:46:32,200
He says I hope to see you while 
passing through and after me on 

674
00:46:32,200 --> 00:46:34,700
my journey there and after I've 
enjoyed your company for a 

675
00:46:34,707 --> 00:46:38,000
while, we had to go ahead and 
plant had a passion for the 

676
00:46:38,000 --> 00:46:41,600
things of God his strategy in 
place like his goal was to go 

677
00:46:41,600 --> 00:46:43,600
around here. 
You talk about north side of the

678
00:46:43,700 --> 00:46:45,800
Mediterranean Sea and bring the 
gospel to the Gentiles because 

679
00:46:45,800 --> 00:46:48,100
that's what was called. 
You try to go to Asia and he's 

680
00:46:48,100 --> 00:46:50,900
getting dragged around by the 
Holy Spirit and he's just making

681
00:46:50,900 --> 00:46:54,600
his way over to Spain to share 
the good news of the gospel. 

682
00:46:55,200 --> 00:46:57,900
And you really tradition says he
made to Spain. 

683
00:46:58,700 --> 00:47:04,200
He would probably stood before 
Those Spain, They seized a Spain

684
00:47:04,200 --> 00:47:05,800
and shared the good news. 
Amen. 

685
00:47:06,300 --> 00:47:08,400
I mean 14, Paul. 
The gospel may not have made it 

686
00:47:08,400 --> 00:47:13,300
so quickly to our corner of the 
world is when you think about 

687
00:47:13,300 --> 00:47:16,600
2023 and you think about the 
spirit of God talking to your 

688
00:47:16,607 --> 00:47:19,600
life, I'm just going to tell you
it has to revolve around Souls. 

689
00:47:20,700 --> 00:47:23,600
It has to like the goal for your
year. 

690
00:47:23,600 --> 00:47:26,800
You have to have some kind of 
spiritual drive to see lost 

691
00:47:26,800 --> 00:47:27,800
people found. 
Amen. 

692
00:47:28,600 --> 00:47:30,700
But I don't want to get into 
like goal setting and I don't 

693
00:47:30,700 --> 00:47:32,300
want get into. 
I think you should have goals. 

694
00:47:32,300 --> 00:47:34,200
I think she write your goals and
I think she's a direct your life

695
00:47:34,200 --> 00:47:35,700
and I think they're really 
important but I think there's 

696
00:47:35,700 --> 00:47:37,700
something much deeper because 
when you get something hard in 

697
00:47:37,700 --> 00:47:39,600
your life you're going to cool 
in that goal. 

698
00:47:40,400 --> 00:47:44,000
Will you get Shipwrecked gonna 
quit in the goal when he thereby

699
00:47:44,000 --> 00:47:46,000
snake swamp? 
All right. 

700
00:47:46,200 --> 00:47:47,800
You couldn't have thrown your 
flesh. 

701
00:47:48,400 --> 00:47:49,900
Why God Quinn? 
The goal. 

702
00:47:50,000 --> 00:47:52,700
So I want to back up a step. 
I was type of spiritual passion.

703
00:47:53,500 --> 00:47:56,000
It's All About the Passion to 
follow through with the things 

704
00:47:56,000 --> 00:47:58,700
of God in your life. 
You be real practical step if 

705
00:47:58,700 --> 00:48:00,800
you're looking through like what
is God calling you do? 

706
00:48:01,500 --> 00:48:04,400
How do I reach people? 
I think about the heart of Paul 

707
00:48:04,600 --> 00:48:07,000
in and you tell us spiritual 
passion, I'll give you a one 

708
00:48:07,000 --> 00:48:09,600
tool, just one resource. 
I've had a really Define your 

709
00:48:09,600 --> 00:48:11,600
spiritual passion and keep you 
motivated. 

710
00:48:11,600 --> 00:48:14,500
This year to really go out there
and set the goals and pursue the

711
00:48:14,500 --> 00:48:16,600
things of God and bring up 
Jesus. 

712
00:48:16,900 --> 00:48:20,700
And not be ashamed of inviting 
people to church and witnessing 

713
00:48:20,700 --> 00:48:22,900
and be an evangelist. 
And I mean, so many guys are 

714
00:48:22,900 --> 00:48:24,700
freaking out right now. 
Like oh man, supposed to bring 

715
00:48:24,700 --> 00:48:26,200
somebody in his cards on the 
seat. 

716
00:48:26,600 --> 00:48:28,100
By the way, those aren't like 
recycled. 

717
00:48:28,100 --> 00:48:31,800
Come on somebody. 
Want you to use those. 

718
00:48:31,800 --> 00:48:34,900
Amen. 
And something like, I can't, I 

719
00:48:34,908 --> 00:48:37,000
just can't let you off the hook 
and it's not you, that does it. 

720
00:48:37,600 --> 00:48:39,500
I mean, even as a preacher. 
I mean, some of your money this 

721
00:48:39,500 --> 00:48:41,000
week is the foolishness of 
preaching. 

722
00:48:41,000 --> 00:48:44,300
Amen. 
Like what I do is nothing, I'm 

723
00:48:44,300 --> 00:48:47,300
just a fool for Jesus, but the 
Holy Spirit does something. 

724
00:48:47,300 --> 00:48:49,300
Amen. 
And it is a cycle. 

725
00:48:49,300 --> 00:48:51,400
You have to understand if you're
going to be a good at falling. 

726
00:48:51,400 --> 00:48:54,900
God, it's just not about you. 
It's not about your effort or 

727
00:48:54,900 --> 00:48:56,800
you're not ever about your work 
or good. 

728
00:48:56,800 --> 00:48:59,300
You are as nothing about you, 
you're just an instrument in the

729
00:48:59,300 --> 00:49:00,200
hand of God. 
Amen. 

730
00:49:00,900 --> 00:49:04,100
Here's the vessel, it is emptied
out and then God uses you. 

731
00:49:04,200 --> 00:49:06,100
And the way it works is really 
simple to holy spirit, moves in 

732
00:49:06,100 --> 00:49:09,300
your life and then you Proclaim 
and the holy spirit moves. 

733
00:49:09,300 --> 00:49:12,200
I've else's life, get that cycle
in your head. 

734
00:49:12,400 --> 00:49:14,500
So before you turn me off and 
say I can't invite somebody 

735
00:49:14,500 --> 00:49:17,200
because fill in the blank, I was
gonna let you off the hook that 

736
00:49:17,200 --> 00:49:20,600
God does the work a man the Holy
Spirit you just do this give 

737
00:49:20,600 --> 00:49:22,800
room and you move on. 
If they don't like you there's a

738
00:49:22,800 --> 00:49:24,900
problem doesn't matter like just
point people to Jesus. 

739
00:49:24,900 --> 00:49:27,000
Amen. 
If we get past herself, you 

740
00:49:27,000 --> 00:49:29,500
release the beginning of God. 
And so encouraged to let the 

741
00:49:29,500 --> 00:49:32,500
Holy Spirit move and As listen 
in and follow his spirit in 

742
00:49:32,508 --> 00:49:34,600
this, when we talk about 
spiritual passion drive, you can

743
00:49:34,600 --> 00:49:36,700
have to get dig deep on this. 
You have to really understand 

744
00:49:36,700 --> 00:49:38,600
your own heart and your own 
motivation. 

745
00:49:38,700 --> 00:49:40,700
That's only give you what I will
call the love-hate list come 

746
00:49:40,700 --> 00:49:45,100
also like you passion passion, 
evokes both emotion passion of 

747
00:49:45,100 --> 00:49:47,600
all the things, you love and 
follows things you hate. 

748
00:49:48,000 --> 00:49:50,500
And so if you just make the list
like there's a call God your 

749
00:49:50,500 --> 00:49:52,800
life the called gone Paul's 
life, don't you think about 

750
00:49:52,800 --> 00:49:54,800
Paul? 
It is Mission to really reach 

751
00:49:54,800 --> 00:49:57,400
the Nations and kings and he 
followed through. 

752
00:49:57,500 --> 00:49:59,800
There's some things you have to 
list out what Leslie love. 

753
00:50:00,400 --> 00:50:02,100
I mean, Same things. 
We love right. 

754
00:50:02,400 --> 00:50:04,800
He would love to see lost people
found. 

755
00:50:04,800 --> 00:50:08,000
Amen. 
He loved to see Nations. 

756
00:50:08,100 --> 00:50:09,800
Who would never know about God? 
No. 

757
00:50:09,800 --> 00:50:12,000
Because the gospel is 
proclaimed. 

758
00:50:12,300 --> 00:50:15,000
It was always through him. 
It was through others, that he 

759
00:50:15,000 --> 00:50:18,800
grew and said he would love to 
see people. 

760
00:50:19,100 --> 00:50:21,000
We've broken free from the 
chains of sin. 

761
00:50:21,900 --> 00:50:24,300
He would love find people find 
their purpose in Jesus. 

762
00:50:24,600 --> 00:50:28,500
Paul love to develop leaders and
send them out, but also some 

763
00:50:28,500 --> 00:50:30,400
things that Paul would 
absolutely hate. 

764
00:50:31,200 --> 00:50:34,800
He would hate for a nation to go
without the gospel. 

765
00:50:35,700 --> 00:50:38,100
You hate for a group of people 
not to know Jesus. 

766
00:50:38,700 --> 00:50:41,100
I mean, you would have driven 
him that he would hate for a 

767
00:50:41,107 --> 00:50:44,500
king, not ever heard the gospel 
and this boy was prolific at 

768
00:50:44,500 --> 00:50:47,500
getting in front of Kings 
because Jesus had called him to 

769
00:50:47,500 --> 00:50:48,900
do. 
That was his mission. 

770
00:50:49,400 --> 00:50:52,200
I think about what we love or as
Christians, we should love and 

771
00:50:52,400 --> 00:50:54,700
and what we should hate. 
I think about a really Lovelace 

772
00:50:54,700 --> 00:50:58,100
like we should love for lost 
people to come home. 

773
00:50:58,100 --> 00:51:00,700
Amen. 
I mean, we love us so much we 

774
00:51:00,700 --> 00:51:06,300
endure really messy people. 
The do point, but it's not us. 

775
00:51:06,300 --> 00:51:08,400
Right? 
We're all messed up, but the 

776
00:51:08,408 --> 00:51:12,600
reality is this we go out of our
way to bring people to Jesus. 

777
00:51:12,900 --> 00:51:16,300
It should your whole schedule 
should be shifted around gospel 

778
00:51:16,300 --> 00:51:17,200
moments. 
Amen. 

779
00:51:17,700 --> 00:51:19,400
You should be picking people out
and your life. 

780
00:51:19,400 --> 00:51:21,400
That's like, ah, man. 
I gotta go the gospel of them. 

781
00:51:22,200 --> 00:51:24,700
You don't think about like, how 
many people are blocks, have we 

782
00:51:24,700 --> 00:51:27,000
shared the good news of Jesus, 
with highly? 

783
00:51:27,000 --> 00:51:29,100
People are blocks to be prayed 
for that know, Jesus. 

784
00:51:29,200 --> 00:51:32,300
How many people are blocks have 
been invited to our church? 

785
00:51:32,400 --> 00:51:34,500
How many On our blocks, you 
invited to take a seat for their

786
00:51:34,500 --> 00:51:37,400
knees, under a table, for the 
name of Jesus and for his glory,

787
00:51:37,900 --> 00:51:40,600
amen, you find. 
No other reason. 

788
00:51:40,600 --> 00:51:45,100
But that this is why we exist we
love to see people find their 

789
00:51:45,100 --> 00:51:48,300
purpose and Jesus led to 
populate Heaven, little people 

790
00:51:48,300 --> 00:51:51,900
get baptized and a life is 
changed when people are broken 

791
00:51:51,900 --> 00:51:55,000
free from shame and sin and our 
life. 

792
00:51:55,000 --> 00:51:58,400
But you know, we hate when 
prodigals can't find their way 

793
00:51:58,400 --> 00:52:01,700
home or bigger yet. 
Would prodigals aren't welcomed 

794
00:52:01,700 --> 00:52:04,300
home. 
When they show up and people are

795
00:52:04,300 --> 00:52:07,400
judgmental and they say I've my 
Pew, you know, and they feel 

796
00:52:07,400 --> 00:52:09,200
like they're just not loved and 
cared for. 

797
00:52:09,200 --> 00:52:10,500
Do we hate that? 
Amen. 

798
00:52:11,400 --> 00:52:13,100
We don't put her nose up at the 
world. 

799
00:52:13,200 --> 00:52:15,000
People have a problem they like 
will pray for a loss but then 

800
00:52:15,000 --> 00:52:17,400
they start coming and it's like 
a they're messy. 

801
00:52:18,600 --> 00:52:20,600
Do we have a problem? 
All sudden, you know, it's like 

802
00:52:20,607 --> 00:52:23,300
dude that we love people, right?
We hate it. 

803
00:52:23,300 --> 00:52:27,200
When lost people stay lost, we 
hated when we lose ground to 

804
00:52:27,200 --> 00:52:31,500
division in the church, we hate 
it when Satan takes Glory. 

805
00:52:32,000 --> 00:52:35,600
Hey It drives us, right? 
And so the question I have for 

806
00:52:35,600 --> 00:52:40,900
you is this it is really simple.
Are you willing to reignite your

807
00:52:40,900 --> 00:52:43,000
spiritual passion before you 
even answer? 

808
00:52:43,000 --> 00:52:45,100
I would encourage you the story 
and give you a verse on bad hair

809
00:52:45,100 --> 00:52:48,100
day and its really something 
bigger happening. 

810
00:52:48,100 --> 00:52:49,300
Then you probably beat your own 
eye. 

811
00:52:49,700 --> 00:52:52,000
I came across the story this 
last week and I thought was so 

812
00:52:52,000 --> 00:52:53,600
powerful. 
There's this man, took his 

813
00:52:53,600 --> 00:52:56,000
family to Disney World and he 
had two little kids. 

814
00:52:56,000 --> 00:52:57,000
That's why I've save us 
pregnant. 

815
00:52:57,000 --> 00:52:59,300
And they got only, it's like, 
calm a quad bike, or something? 

816
00:52:59,300 --> 00:53:01,000
Weird, I don't know. 
They are, if you've been to have

817
00:53:01,000 --> 00:53:02,700
Cod these bikes apparently go 
around this. 

818
00:53:03,700 --> 00:53:05,000
The doors kind of paddle in the 
kids are. 

819
00:53:05,700 --> 00:53:07,800
All right. 
And anyway, there's a couple 

820
00:53:07,800 --> 00:53:10,500
little Hills and these guys 
aren't in shape and he does it 

821
00:53:10,500 --> 00:53:12,200
right but they're doing good you
know. 

822
00:53:12,300 --> 00:53:14,200
But it gets to the end is a 
little increased its kind of 

823
00:53:14,200 --> 00:53:16,700
long it can get steeper and it 
really happen as parents you 

824
00:53:16,700 --> 00:53:18,200
know you know how it is. 
You just dragging the kids 

825
00:53:18,200 --> 00:53:19,500
around. 
It's like for the glory of God 

826
00:53:19,500 --> 00:53:20,200
my kids. 
Amen. 

827
00:53:20,200 --> 00:53:21,500
Right. 
And they get to the end, it's 

828
00:53:21,500 --> 00:53:24,200
like thank God, we turn this in.
Well, the kids are screaming in 

829
00:53:24,207 --> 00:53:26,300
the basket, you know, no dogon 
Daddy. 

830
00:53:26,300 --> 00:53:29,700
Go around kiss talk as adults in
the dumbest things you know, 

831
00:53:29,900 --> 00:53:32,400
look like fools dancing around 
the rims, get those pictures on 

832
00:53:32,400 --> 00:53:34,100
the Maritza put his kids doing 
that. 

833
00:53:34,200 --> 00:53:36,000
And so, there's dad's, like 
okay, okay, well, we'll get 

834
00:53:36,000 --> 00:53:38,200
he'll go again and so they go 
around, they get that last 

835
00:53:38,200 --> 00:53:40,500
little section and all of a 
sudden it's like, these guys are

836
00:53:40,508 --> 00:53:41,500
going to make up the hill, 
right? 

837
00:53:41,500 --> 00:53:43,500
This guy's like, penile strength
is energy. 

838
00:53:43,500 --> 00:53:45,700
He's sweating and his wife's 
like man. 

839
00:53:45,700 --> 00:53:48,100
I'm not any value. 
Like I'm eight months pregnant 

840
00:53:48,100 --> 00:53:49,200
like I'm just gonna go off the 
bike. 

841
00:53:49,200 --> 00:53:51,100
That's okay. 
And he wasn't like, oh no, 

842
00:53:51,100 --> 00:53:52,200
honey. 
I got, he's like, get off the 

843
00:53:52,200 --> 00:53:54,100
bike, you know? 
And so she gets off the bike and

844
00:53:54,100 --> 00:53:56,000
he's pillow, pillow pillow, and 
all of a sudden just because the

845
00:53:56,000 --> 00:53:58,300
pointer like you can't tell 
anymore and starts to kind of go

846
00:53:58,300 --> 00:54:00,500
backwards, you know, people kind
of pass on the side. 

847
00:54:00,500 --> 00:54:02,700
He's like dude just got this 
energy get this. 

848
00:54:02,900 --> 00:54:04,800
She liked Rudy's our spell as 
hard as you can. 

849
00:54:05,000 --> 00:54:07,100
He gets off the top of the hill.
It looks back to like kind of 

850
00:54:07,100 --> 00:54:08,700
boasts himself, looking good. 
I did babe. 

851
00:54:08,700 --> 00:54:11,900
It turns around he finds out. 
His wife is pushing the bike up 

852
00:54:11,900 --> 00:54:14,500
the hill. 
Come on somebody right. 

853
00:54:14,600 --> 00:54:16,900
And y'all been there and he says
get this moment humility because

854
00:54:16,900 --> 00:54:19,200
I was like and then like there's
kids pass and going. 

855
00:54:19,200 --> 00:54:22,300
Why is that my dad pregnant lady
push their husband you know and 

856
00:54:22,300 --> 00:54:25,300
he's like oh my gosh you know, 
it actually give you some hope 

857
00:54:25,300 --> 00:54:29,200
today the reality is this is 
that there's somebody behind. 

858
00:54:29,200 --> 00:54:31,100
You pushing you up the hill. 
Amen. 

859
00:54:31,800 --> 00:54:33,800
There's a strength bigger. 
Than yourself. 

860
00:54:34,200 --> 00:54:35,600
God is with you. 
Amen. 

861
00:54:36,200 --> 00:54:39,100
He is with you, he's strengthen 
you, if it's a promise of God 

862
00:54:39,100 --> 00:54:42,300
who will be with us, always into
the other and you get to the end

863
00:54:42,300 --> 00:54:46,200
of Paul's life and when he 
letter, I mean, just a life on 

864
00:54:46,200 --> 00:54:49,300
Mission and he just goes out 
like a star. 

865
00:54:49,800 --> 00:54:53,100
I mean, just knowing it's his 
time, he wraps up puts a bow on 

866
00:54:53,100 --> 00:54:55,100
top, you got, you got you got 
the verse right? 

867
00:54:55,400 --> 00:54:58,300
I mean, my father good fight. 
Come on somebody. 

868
00:54:58,500 --> 00:55:02,700
I finished the course. 
I mean this is Paul right Andy. 

869
00:55:02,800 --> 00:55:06,000
Gets the end is really second. 
Timothy is his last book, you 

870
00:55:06,000 --> 00:55:08,500
last thing you wrote but me that
we have in the Bible but it's 

871
00:55:08,500 --> 00:55:09,600
real. 
It's time to sign off. 

872
00:55:10,200 --> 00:55:12,600
So this is it and he gets the 
very end in this way. 

873
00:55:12,600 --> 00:55:15,300
He says last the last couple of 
verses it's found in second 

874
00:55:15,400 --> 00:55:19,800
Timothy last two verses, he 
said, but the Lord stood by me 

875
00:55:20,400 --> 00:55:24,100
and strengthened me, Amen, in 
the race Iran. 

876
00:55:24,100 --> 00:55:25,000
Will it called God? 
What? 

877
00:55:25,000 --> 00:55:27,800
He was the one, he was the power
force, he was on ignited, my 

878
00:55:27,800 --> 00:55:30,100
flaming kept me moving forward, 
so that threw me. 

879
00:55:30,100 --> 00:55:32,600
The message would be fully for 
claims. 

880
00:55:32,800 --> 00:55:35,900
So all the Gentiles to hear, 
amen. 

881
00:55:36,500 --> 00:55:38,600
I mean, God got the glory. 
It was all because of him, and 

882
00:55:38,600 --> 00:55:41,200
when those prison cells, it was 
because of him who was hard 

883
00:55:41,200 --> 00:55:42,800
work. 
But I did it the name of Jesus 

884
00:55:42,800 --> 00:55:45,600
and he was with me is behind me.
And so I was delivered from the 

885
00:55:45,600 --> 00:55:46,900
lion's mouth. 
Amen. 

886
00:55:47,400 --> 00:55:49,100
I mean, the world Ain't Gonna 
Last Laugh. 

887
00:55:49,500 --> 00:55:52,700
The Lord, the world are the Lord
will deliver me from every evil 

888
00:55:52,700 --> 00:55:54,500
deed. 
It will bring me safely into his

889
00:55:54,500 --> 00:55:58,600
Heavenly Kingdom to him. 
Be the glory forever and ever. 

890
00:55:59,200 --> 00:56:03,600
Amen. 
And Paul signs off So this is my

891
00:56:03,600 --> 00:56:09,200
why it didn't look like. 
We want to put an idol and said,

892
00:56:09,200 --> 00:56:11,400
that's the life I live, but it 
was on mission for Jesus. 

893
00:56:11,400 --> 00:56:13,500
Amen. 
And that's what were called to 

894
00:56:13,500 --> 00:56:18,000
be men and women of the Gospel. 
So I was 10, where's your 

895
00:56:18,000 --> 00:56:21,400
spiritual passion? 
23, like what's going to keep 

896
00:56:21,400 --> 00:56:25,100
you in that seat watching TV all
day long, like what's, what's 

897
00:56:25,100 --> 00:56:26,400
going to? 
But could hold you back when you

898
00:56:26,408 --> 00:56:27,900
got the good news of Jesus. 
Amen. 

899
00:56:28,700 --> 00:56:31,800
And so he's got to get up and 
make that list and I took that 

900
00:56:31,800 --> 00:56:33,000
list and I've got on my mind. 
Mirror. 

901
00:56:33,000 --> 00:56:37,000
And I got my phone and this is 
why I get up early and this is 

902
00:56:37,000 --> 00:56:39,700
why he stable eighth. 
This why work endless hours? 

903
00:56:39,700 --> 00:56:42,800
The Hope Center and this is why 
we set up and tear down. 

904
00:56:43,000 --> 00:56:46,200
And this is why I invite people 
who knows awkward, and I'm off 

905
00:56:46,200 --> 00:56:49,200
the gospel out sometimes, but 
this is why amen. 

906
00:56:49,900 --> 00:56:51,900
And as believe in the church, if
we just put that in our heart, 

907
00:56:51,900 --> 00:56:54,700
man, the the force of the Gospel
is Unstoppable. 

908
00:56:55,700 --> 00:56:58,100
It is believed that God willing 
to reach people. 

909
00:56:58,200 --> 00:57:00,500
Amen. 
And that's our purpose in this 

910
00:57:00,500 --> 00:57:01,900
year, but you cannot marry the 
two. 

911
00:57:01,900 --> 00:57:05,300
And so, as you look, Like forget
the goal like that may change a 

912
00:57:05,308 --> 00:57:06,400
little bit. 
I think you should write them 

913
00:57:06,400 --> 00:57:10,800
out but look at your passion and
that like develop a goal, 

914
00:57:11,200 --> 00:57:13,600
develop a direction. 
And at the end of the year, I 

915
00:57:13,600 --> 00:57:14,900
just know, like may be faithful 
to God. 

916
00:57:14,900 --> 00:57:16,000
Who knows regret take this 
church? 

917
00:57:16,000 --> 00:57:19,500
Amen, I mean, we're seeing take 
your block or your family, or 

918
00:57:19,500 --> 00:57:24,000
realistically, just you change. 
You God we come before you. 

919
00:57:24,800 --> 00:57:27,000
I got I pray that our church 
will be full of spiritual 

920
00:57:27,000 --> 00:57:29,400
passion. 
Thanks for the example of Paul. 

921
00:57:29,600 --> 00:57:32,400
He wasn't perfect o Wretched, 
Man that I am, who delivered me 

922
00:57:32,400 --> 00:57:36,800
from the This body of death, but
he recognized, there's power in 

923
00:57:36,800 --> 00:57:39,100
the spirit of God and the power 
of God was behind him and 

924
00:57:39,100 --> 00:57:41,400
strengthened him all along his 
journey and I pray that to be 

925
00:57:41,400 --> 00:57:44,900
our story. 
Then we sign off, we sign off 

926
00:57:44,900 --> 00:57:48,600
like that, give him the glory, 
to Jesus living a life for him, 

927
00:57:48,800 --> 00:57:52,300
bringing it pointing Kings and 
Nations to you. 

928
00:57:52,700 --> 00:57:55,300
I'm pray for our church today 
those who say, no, and I'm renew

929
00:57:55,300 --> 00:57:57,800
my spirit passion this year like
IMA have this. 

930
00:57:57,800 --> 00:58:01,100
My why moment, I'm getting 
serious about God and we passed 

931
00:58:01,100 --> 00:58:03,900
by God this year that you just 
put your The spirit speaking to 

932
00:58:03,900 --> 00:58:06,000
you, come on be full in. 
Come on. 

933
00:58:06,000 --> 00:58:09,500
I see the hands across this 
place but he's down. 

934
00:58:09,500 --> 00:58:11,900
Father, you see the hearts? 
You know, the hands of God, pray

935
00:58:11,900 --> 00:58:14,900
that unites something us got 
from you and I would fall in 

936
00:58:14,900 --> 00:58:18,300
love with that gather. 
We please, you can help us to 

937
00:58:18,300 --> 00:58:21,900
make a love-hate less of our 
passion because we never forget 

938
00:58:21,900 --> 00:58:26,800
the cross, the pivot, life verse
that we leave live on Mission. 

939
00:58:27,000 --> 00:58:28,900
It would drive us every day of 
Our Lives. 

940
00:58:29,300 --> 00:58:31,100
We pray for all my group people 
and that's those of you that 

941
00:58:31,100 --> 00:58:33,400
would say, you know what, I'm 
not a king. 

942
00:58:34,300 --> 00:58:39,300
But the gospel came to me today 
was actually I was here, they 

943
00:58:39,300 --> 00:58:43,500
brought me this moment. 
Some showed me the door, it's a 

944
00:58:43,500 --> 00:58:49,100
little on faith and wash online.
God is met me here. 

945
00:58:49,800 --> 00:58:53,100
Neither the king but it came 
from me and that's you need 

946
00:58:53,100 --> 00:58:56,800
Jesus to me the King of Kings. 
My life changed be forgiven and 

947
00:58:56,800 --> 00:59:00,500
they knew the gospel to Edge. 
It feels infiltrate your life 

948
00:59:00,900 --> 00:59:02,200
and change you from the inside 
out. 

949
00:59:02,200 --> 00:59:05,300
If that's you, misread your 
Don't be looking around and say 

950
00:59:05,300 --> 00:59:08,000
I need Jesus. 
Today, come on across this room.

951
00:59:08,200 --> 00:59:09,500
They don't mind. 
You click the button. 

952
00:59:09,900 --> 00:59:12,200
Finding Jesus place your hand 
the back and bills. 

953
00:59:12,200 --> 00:59:15,400
I need Jesus. 
That's you as encourage you to 

954
00:59:15,400 --> 00:59:17,200
pray this prayer. 
It's not the prayer that saves. 

955
00:59:17,200 --> 00:59:21,800
You just your heart towards God.
Say thank you, Jesus for coming 

956
00:59:21,800 --> 00:59:23,600
for a man. 
Like me got. 

957
00:59:23,600 --> 00:59:27,400
Things are down across my sins. 
At taking the nails, taking my 

958
00:59:27,400 --> 00:59:31,300
payment and making me hold and 
gods are in my life to you. 

959
00:59:31,300 --> 00:59:33,900
God give me around some passion 
and sealed. 

960

I share you today is my day one,
the faith. 

961
00:59:38,300 --> 00:59:42,100
Nothing to proclaim the gospel 
today to a lost and dying world.

962
00:59:43,200 --> 00:59:44,500
Amen. 
Come on. 

963
00:59:44,500 --> 00:59:45,600
Give it up for the things of 
God. 

964

Come on. 
Lemnos here. 

965
00:59:46,300 --> 00:59:48,000
Some passion and your clap 
today. 

966
00:59:48,000 --> 00:59:51,200
Come on. 
Amen. 

967
00:59:51,400 --> 00:59:53,500
Well that's you today. 
And you say, you know what my 

968
00:59:53,500 --> 00:59:56,500
breakout year starts? 
When I say yes to Jesus, we are 

969
00:59:56,500 --> 00:59:59,000
so excited for you. 
We have some resources. 

970
00:59:59,000 --> 01:00:01,400
We'd love to connect with you. 
You can take out your phone and 

971
01:00:01,400 --> 01:00:04,500
text RL. 
Next like, your next step to 

972
01:00:04,500 --> 01:00:08,200
97,000 that's going to connect 
you with our websites and 

973
01:00:08,200 --> 01:00:10,700
resources to follow Jesus. 
And maybe this morning even 

974
01:00:10,700 --> 01:00:12,900
you're like you know what, I 
don't know about this whole God,

975
01:00:12,900 --> 01:00:15,900
Jesus thing texted anyway, take 
you to our website, we would 

976
01:00:15,900 --> 01:00:19,800
love to help you meet Jesus, who
has changed our lives in such 

977
01:00:19,800 --> 01:00:21,200
amazing. 
He's, and if you're joining us 

978
01:00:21,200 --> 01:00:24,000
here in person at Kentucky 
Trail, we actually have some red

979
01:00:24,000 --> 01:00:25,600
bags in the back that you can 
grab. 

980
01:00:25,600 --> 01:00:29,400
It's got a free Bible, just a 
little word from us to help, get

981
01:00:29,400 --> 01:00:31,700
you encouraged and started on 
your journey with Jesus. 

982
01:00:31,700 --> 01:00:35,800
And I know that man, the Journey
of a Thousand Steps starts with 

983
01:00:35,800 --> 01:00:37,500
four thousand miles starts with 
one step. 

984
01:00:37,500 --> 01:00:40,500
And so, this could be your step 
today to have an amazing year. 

985
01:00:40,800 --> 01:00:42,700
And for all of us have a few 
next steps. 

986
01:00:42,700 --> 01:00:45,900
Mean we are pumped to be back 
meeting together at Kentucky 

987
01:00:45,900 --> 01:00:49,300
Trail, and it was so much fun to
connect online last week, but we

988
01:00:49,300 --> 01:00:51,700
have a big year. 
And a lot of big goals and 

989
01:00:51,700 --> 01:00:53,900
dreams and vision that God has 
given us. 

990
01:00:53,900 --> 01:00:57,300
And it starts, it starts with 
just like Sean talked about 

991
01:00:57,300 --> 01:01:00,800
having that passion in your year
to reach people, that's why real

992
01:01:00,800 --> 01:01:02,700
life exists. 
And that's why we're here and 

993
01:01:02,700 --> 01:01:05,500
that's why we do what we do. 
And so, it starts with all of 

994
01:01:05,500 --> 01:01:06,800
us. 
And so, I have a next step for 

995
01:01:06,800 --> 01:01:10,200
you have Sean mentioned, these 
cards that are sitting on your 

996
01:01:10,200 --> 01:01:11,900
chair. 
And I know if you know this, but

997
01:01:11,900 --> 01:01:16,100
I was the product of a church 
invite when I was a teenager, my

998
01:01:16,100 --> 01:01:18,100
group of friends, then invited 
Shawn to church. 

999
01:01:18,100 --> 01:01:21,100
And so, it's cool to look back 
and think about you, Know, the 

1000
01:01:21,100 --> 01:01:23,800
impact you're going to make with
a simple invite of inviting. 

1001
01:01:23,800 --> 01:01:27,100
Someone to Jesus, maybe step of 
inviting them to church so they 

1002
01:01:27,100 --> 01:01:29,800
can meet him here. 
You don't know what God is going

1003
01:01:29,800 --> 01:01:32,400
to do in someone's life. 
And so let me be the first to 

1004
01:01:32,408 --> 01:01:35,700
encourage you to take these with
you pass them out to the 

1005
01:01:35,700 --> 01:01:37,100
Barista. 
When you're going through the 

1006
01:01:37,100 --> 01:01:40,600
drive-thru line talk with people
hand them out to your neighbors.

1007
01:01:40,600 --> 01:01:44,100
We have so much in store for 
them and when your life has been

1008
01:01:44,100 --> 01:01:46,600
changed by Jesus, you want 
nothing more than to share that 

1009
01:01:46,600 --> 01:01:49,300
with others. 
And so let it be part of your 

1010
01:01:49,300 --> 01:01:52,000
new normal. 
All this year to be an inviter 

1011
01:01:52,000 --> 01:01:55,300
and not just an invite her, but 
we call these bring visitation. 

1012
01:01:55,300 --> 01:01:57,100
So don't just invite but bring 
them along with you. 

1013
01:01:57,100 --> 01:01:59,400
Save them a seat but do take 
these. 

1014
01:01:59,400 --> 01:02:02,600
We have tons of them and they 
are your tool to be able to 

1015
01:02:02,600 --> 01:02:04,700
invite people to church. 
So they're here for you. 

1016
01:02:04,700 --> 01:02:06,200
And we would love to equip you 
to do that. 

1017
01:02:06,500 --> 01:02:10,000
And speaking of your new normal,
maybe you've been hanging out 

1018
01:02:10,000 --> 01:02:11,600
with us for a little while here 
at real life. 

1019
01:02:11,600 --> 01:02:13,800
Maybe you never made that stuff 
to say. 

1020
01:02:13,800 --> 01:02:15,500
You know what, I just don't know
what my next step is. 

1021
01:02:15,500 --> 01:02:17,000
What I know God's got something 
for me. 

1022
01:02:17,200 --> 01:02:19,400
We are resuming our crash 
course. 

1023
01:02:19,400 --> 01:02:22,600
It's going to be On January 
22nd, you can go to our website,

1024
01:02:22,600 --> 01:02:24,800
click events, all the details 
are going to be on there about 

1025
01:02:24,800 --> 01:02:27,200
where we're meeting. 
It's going to be from two to 

1026
01:02:27,200 --> 01:02:30,200
four Thirty next week, but I 
know that God has something big 

1027
01:02:30,200 --> 01:02:33,500
for your life, and I know that 
God has passion and purpose to 

1028
01:02:33,500 --> 01:02:35,300
you. 
So, maybe after you write down 

1029
01:02:35,300 --> 01:02:37,600
your list of, hey, what am I 
passionate about? 

1030
01:02:37,600 --> 01:02:39,800
God's going to spark something 
inside of you and will ask you 

1031
01:02:39,808 --> 01:02:42,700
that question to say, hey, would
you be willing to take those 

1032
01:02:42,700 --> 01:02:45,900
gifts you have or that passion 
you have and use them to spread 

1033
01:02:45,900 --> 01:02:48,400
the gospel to our city. 
That looks a lot of different 

1034
01:02:48,400 --> 01:02:50,000
ways but we have a big dream to 
see. 

1035
01:02:50,200 --> 01:02:54,300
People grow and to see people 
come to Jesus. 

1036
01:02:54,300 --> 01:02:58,300
We want to see fully functioning
like worship teams in our youth 

1037
01:02:58,300 --> 01:03:00,700
and our kids space. 
We want to see our Hope Center 

1038
01:03:00,700 --> 01:03:04,600
up and moving with care groups, 
and Care Ministries and Outreach

1039
01:03:04,600 --> 01:03:07,100
to our city. 
We want to see are Refreshments 

1040
01:03:07,100 --> 01:03:09,600
Ministry out in the hub. 
Serving people who come in the 

1041
01:03:09,600 --> 01:03:12,800
door and every single team 
across our church has Big Dreams

1042
01:03:12,800 --> 01:03:14,700
for this year to grow. 
And so, we need your help. 

1043
01:03:14,700 --> 01:03:16,900
So, if you've never been to 
crash course, or maybe you've 

1044
01:03:16,900 --> 01:03:19,500
been to crash course, and you 
never fully took that step to 

1045
01:03:19,500 --> 01:03:21,400
join the team. 
I would love to connect with you

1046
01:03:21,600 --> 01:03:24,000
come out to crash course, meet, 
with any of us have seen on 

1047
01:03:24,000 --> 01:03:25,700
stage. 
We would love to connect you 

1048
01:03:25,900 --> 01:03:29,300
with your next step in that way.
And our last next step is this 

1049
01:03:29,600 --> 01:03:33,000
is that you all are incredible. 
We're looking at Drew shared so 

1050
01:03:33,000 --> 01:03:36,500
many of those numbers about what
2022 was it real life. 

1051
01:03:36,500 --> 01:03:41,000
But our generosity was up 28% 
from 2021 last year. 

1052
01:03:41,000 --> 01:03:43,600
And that's because of you all. 
Because of the growth that we've

1053
01:03:43,600 --> 01:03:46,000
seen here as people growing 
closer to God, taking a chance 

1054
01:03:46,000 --> 01:03:47,700
of Fate to say, you know, a God,
I don't know what's going to 

1055
01:03:47,707 --> 01:03:50,600
happen but I'm going to give it 
so because of your Generosity, 

1056
01:03:50,600 --> 01:03:53,500
we were able to finish the 
construction phase of the Hope 

1057
01:03:53,500 --> 01:03:55,600
Center. 
Now, we get to move in and start

1058
01:03:55,600 --> 01:03:58,000
some of these Ministries and all
the things that there are 

1059
01:03:58,000 --> 01:04:00,400
continued needs for. 
And so if you're new with us 

1060
01:04:00,400 --> 01:04:02,700
today, thank you for coming. 
We don't want something from you

1061
01:04:02,700 --> 01:04:05,400
if we want something for you, 
but if you call real life home 

1062
01:04:05,400 --> 01:04:08,800
and you have never thought about
being a part of generosity, it's

1063
01:04:08,800 --> 01:04:10,300
really what makes this whole 
thing go. 

1064
01:04:10,300 --> 01:04:14,000
And so the last step of your new
normal would be making a 

1065
01:04:14,000 --> 01:04:16,300
difference through generosity. 
And so there's three ways that 

1066
01:04:16,300 --> 01:04:18,100
you can do that. 
You can go to Real Life Church 

1067
01:04:18,100 --> 01:04:21,600
kc.com, you can click go. 
You can text any amount of 

1068
01:04:21,607 --> 01:04:24,400
eight, four, three, two, one. 
Our website also has a give 

1069
01:04:24,400 --> 01:04:27,000
button that you can click on 
there to get connected to 

1070
01:04:27,000 --> 01:04:30,300
generosity and our buckets are 
going to pass here in just a 

1071
01:04:30,300 --> 01:04:32,900
moment. 
And as they do, if you or your 

1072
01:04:32,900 --> 01:04:36,000
family or an immediate need of 
food clothing or shelter, please

1073
01:04:36,000 --> 01:04:39,000
reach into those buckets, grab 
any loose cash that you see, we 

1074
01:04:39,000 --> 01:04:42,500
want to be a blessing to your 
family in this time of need. 

1075
01:04:42,500 --> 01:04:45,800
And then, lastly, Happy Spring 
almost. 

1076
01:04:45,800 --> 01:04:48,100
I wish it was spring, happy 
winter, but life groups are 

1077
01:04:48,100 --> 01:04:50,000
getting ready to launch. 
So, check out this video. 

1078
01:04:50,100 --> 01:05:03,300
A little more. 
Last week you were challenged to

1079
01:05:03,300 --> 01:05:05,700
make gathering together. 
With the people of God, an 

1080
01:05:05,700 --> 01:05:10,100
important priority in 2023. 
I've got an awesome opportunity 

1081
01:05:10,100 --> 01:05:13,200
for you to do. 
Just that like groups are 

1082
01:05:13,200 --> 01:05:16,800
launching in a couple of weeks, 
come on, get excited to hang out

1083
01:05:16,800 --> 01:05:20,100
with friends, make some new 
friends and do life together. 

1084
01:05:20,100 --> 01:05:23,800
This next semester, it's the 
small things that make the 

1085
01:05:23,800 --> 01:05:27,300
biggest difference and maybe 
twenty twenty two things got in 

1086
01:05:27,308 --> 01:05:31,900
the way of Joining a life may be
things like not enough time for 

1087
01:05:31,900 --> 01:05:35,900
some guilt or fear or comparison
to hear me. 

1088
01:05:35,900 --> 01:05:42,000
When I say that where you fall 
short, Jesus shines make 2023 a 

1089
01:05:42,000 --> 01:05:44,500
breakout year with some Keystone
habits. 

1090
01:05:44,800 --> 01:05:47,500
One of, which could be joining a
life group. 

1091
01:05:47,800 --> 01:05:50,100
This year, we are crying out to 
God. 

1092
01:05:50,200 --> 01:05:53,500
For souls to be changed 
addictions to be broken 

1093
01:05:53,600 --> 01:05:58,000
relationships to be restored and
people to be saved and sent. 

1094
01:05:58,100 --> 01:06:01,800
Out, and all of these things 
happen, through the context of 

1095
01:06:01,800 --> 01:06:04,600
relationships. 
You are opposed to the question 

1096
01:06:04,600 --> 01:06:08,700
last week, who do you want to 
become in the next six to 12 

1097
01:06:08,700 --> 01:06:11,200
months? 
Maybe that's a Godly mom or 

1098
01:06:11,200 --> 01:06:15,800
wife, a bold witness for Jesus. 
Maybe 2023 is the year you 

1099
01:06:15,800 --> 01:06:19,700
become sober or clean or you 
become financially free. 

1100
01:06:19,900 --> 01:06:23,700
And hey, maybe it's to take a 
step towards God this year to 

1101
01:06:23,700 --> 01:06:26,300
becoming a true man or woman of 
God. 

1102
01:06:26,600 --> 01:06:30,400
And I know that God will Can use
life groups as a catalyst 

1103
01:06:30,400 --> 01:06:33,700
towards your personal. 
So, make attending a life group,

1104
01:06:33,700 --> 01:06:38,200
one of your habits of 2023, I am
certain that you won't regret 

1105
01:06:38,200 --> 01:06:40,100
spending time with the people of
God. 

1106
01:06:40,600 --> 01:06:43,600
If you're interested in leading 
a life through this semester, or

1107
01:06:43,600 --> 01:06:46,800
maybe you're considering going 
through our printing process, I 

1108
01:06:46,800 --> 01:06:49,700

with you about what that would 

1109
01:06:49,700 --> 01:06:51,700
look like. 
I'll be hanging out in the hub 

1110
01:06:51,700 --> 01:06:53,900

like groups wall. 

1111
