And then you you might have 152 00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:35,960 heard about the Belden Cinema 8 May heard a little bit about 153 00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:41,480 that. Oh man, that was it is like been 154 00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:44,280 flying a kite in the hurricane of God's goods and grace. 155 00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:46,960 I mean, I've never been so extended. 156 00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:50,760 Like what is happening? You know, I'm usually I'm like 157 00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:53,560 the excel guy, you know, I'm usually like, let's have this 158 00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:55,840 planned out. And it has been moving so 159 00:06:55,840 --> 00:06:59,320 quickly. But between like conversations 160 00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:01,120 and contract, we're talking like 12 days. 161 00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:04,560 Like it is insane. Like how God is sets up, we'll 162 00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:07,240 talk about it, but I don't go back all the way to how this 163 00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:09,400 started, right? Like because I think God 164 00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:10,720 doesn't. I think God trying to bless 165 00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:12,960 everybody, but I think the ones who can take opportunity, the 166 00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:15,360 ones are ready for it. The ones are looking for it. 167 00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:17,400 We talk about this lot, right? Seeing what everybody sees and 168 00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:19,280 do what no one does, like being prepared. 169 00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:22,120 Well, we've been preparing for a season and I'll go back like in 170 00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:26,160 time just a little bit to last would have been I believe it 171 00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:29,240 have been October and we launched a little series called 172 00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:32,040 Difference Maker and right before that series, we actually 173 00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:33,240 did a series. You guys remember the first 174 00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:39,600 series was on that good, huh? I'll give you a hint, Mark 928. 175 00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:43,080 You'll remember when I say this. And when he, Jesus had come into 176 00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:46,080 the house, his disciples asked him probably, why could we not 177 00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:47,880 cast it out talking about a demon? 178 00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:51,240 And he said that then this kind can come out by nothing but 179 00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:53,800 prayer. And you guys remember that 180 00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:58,160 series we did, We did a whole like section of time where every 181 00:07:58,160 --> 00:07:59,680 week we're like, man, we're going to prayer and fast and 182 00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:02,760 we're going to prayer and fast. And that led the way. 183 00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:06,160 And it is just only certain things that happen through 184 00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:07,960 prayer and fasting. So if you talk about a miracle 185 00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:10,440 that happens, miracles are always preceded by prayer and 186 00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:12,720 fasting. Like every revival, every 187 00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:16,000 awakening, everything of God's move always comes because 188 00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:18,600 somebody's on their knees and it's somebody starving to death 189 00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:21,280 for God's glory. Somebody wants God more than 190 00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:23,120 anything else. And we, we, we, I don't know if 191 00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:24,960 you remember that, but that glory to God, Amen. 192 00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:27,640 Like there's something for your soul that can only happen to 193 00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:30,680 parent fasting, that there, there's identity there there's a 194 00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:32,679 confidence that there, there's a boldness. 195 00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:36,600 We are outside of our league because of Jesus, Amen? 196 00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:40,360 But why not, right? Does he not own everything, does 197 00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:42,679 not control everything? Like we, we need him. 198 00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:45,680 We just need our ability and my talent and my whatever is he, he 199 00:08:45,680 --> 00:08:47,560 needs. We just need to rely on him and 200 00:08:47,560 --> 00:08:49,360 his strength and his power. And that's what fasting and 201 00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:51,160 prayer does. And so does something your soul 202 00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:53,200 does something to your family. We talked about that, but we 203 00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:54,720 talked about it does something for our church. 204 00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:57,560 And it's only through prayer and fasting that revival happens, 205 00:08:57,720 --> 00:08:59,920 that God's power is there. And we pray for this 206 00:08:59,920 --> 00:09:02,400 specifically, we prayed that God would give us divine 207 00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:04,640 appointments and would give us divine favor. 208 00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:07,800 You guys were praying for that. God did it. 209 00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:10,480 Amen. He did it like there, there's no 210 00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:13,560 way that this deal comes together because we had some 211 00:09:13,560 --> 00:09:15,920 kind of math and it just was like going to work it. 212 00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:18,640 It happened because God moved in somebody's heart and God moved 213 00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:20,640 somebody else's heart. And then this person was 214 00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:22,840 generous and this person brought connection and this person 215 00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:25,640 helped out and all of a sudden there's something happening 216 00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:27,440 that's only because Jesus can do it. 217 00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:29,760 Amen. Like, I feel like what is 218 00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:33,840 happening right now, God is showing off because he's the 219 00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:36,200 only person that could ever get the glory for what has just 220 00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:37,880 happened. There's nobody else. 221 00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:41,640 Like he can't be like, man, that that that board, that staff team 222 00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:44,000 or this like, dude, it's only Jesus. 223 00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:46,520 Amen. And so I think there's something 224 00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:48,000 a little different today. I can feel it. 225 00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:50,160 I can feel the connection, the energy. 226 00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:52,480 I mean, there's pep in the step put even putting the stairs on 227 00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:54,920 that Barry almost died on. You know, people were excited, 228 00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:58,080 you know, Whoo, yeah, man. And I started thinking as like, 229 00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:01,520 you know, in, in some ways, like we've been counting, like how 230 00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:03,680 far we've gone, like this is, I don't know. 231 00:10:03,680 --> 00:10:05,080 You've been tracking how many steps we've been doing. 232 00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:08,000 You're OK. Yeah, it's over 400, right? 233 00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:11,800 Like, so like we've pulled up every two trailers for over 400 234 00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:13,760 plus times. And I today I walked up and I 235 00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:18,320 thought this may be the beginning of the end of pulling 236 00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:20,720 up a trailer. Is that crazy to think about? 237 00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:22,720 Like you can like start counting down. 238 00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:25,640 I'm like, oh, dude. And I'm back here in the worst 239 00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:27,120 being started. And it kind of hit me and I'm 240 00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:28,480 like, man, I just can't believe it. 241 00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:31,800 You know, I'm just like absolute shock, like crying back here, 242 00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:34,440 just like, dude, I'm, I'm lost, you know, like I, I honestly 243 00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:37,080 don't know. I'm so unprepared today for what 244 00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:38,600 God's doing. And, and I think it's just 245 00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:39,400 amazing. Amen. 246 00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:43,280 Just to be a part of the story. And so we've been praying, you 247 00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:45,880 know, and we prayed for this. We prayed to secure our first 248 00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:49,000 permanent space, secure our first permanent space. 249 00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:50,400 And there's been a lot of different ideas. 250 00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:53,760 And I've honestly, I've looked at probably every space in town. 251 00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:56,040 I've done a lot of been a lot of things and seen a lot of things. 252 00:10:56,480 --> 00:10:58,200 I've looked at every space. If you were to take a map and 253 00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:01,280 you're like laid out on the floor and you said, Lord, if 254 00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:04,160 there's any building we could have, you'd ask God for a 255 00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:05,600 building. You would have asked God for the 256 00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:09,360 Belden SIM 8. Like there is no other space 257 00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:12,480 that is a better space. I mean, it's set up for 258 00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:15,200 assembly. It's an icon in the city. 259 00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:19,360 And God in his grace and mercy, through divine favor and 260 00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:22,160 gracious of people, has allowed us the opportunity to step into 261 00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:24,200 that space. It's insane. 262 00:11:24,560 --> 00:11:28,880 I mean, God, glory to God, Amen.

This place is an answer to 274 00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:10,080 prayer. I've literally been praying for 275 00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:14,640 this space that our church could be in it since 2016. 276 00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:18,000 If you're back, if you're on our team, back. 277 00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:20,680 Over my shoulder. At the Hope Center and you guys 278 00:12:20,680 --> 00:12:24,640 been praying and fasting. We sat in the room and we said, 279 00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:27,960 hey, one day man, you guys are going to plant seeds and God's 280 00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:31,400 going to move. Well, this is what God is 281 00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:33,640 growing. How absolutely amazing this is 282 00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:36,480 25,000 square feet. It's got 8 theaters. 283 00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:40,040 This place to do ministry and expand and just be a light not 284 00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:41,960 just to our community but around the world. 285 00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:45,760 You might ask why Mitchell Theatre and this place really 286 00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:48,800 dropped in our lap. We saw this theater post out 287 00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:51,400 that they were closing down in August and then moving on from 288 00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:53,720 some development in town. We thought, man, let's just 289 00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:55,520 reach out and see what God may do. 290 00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:59,480 And by their graciousness and God's grace through Brian 291 00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:03,040 Mitchell and Willie, their team, they want to give us back to 292 00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:05,240 some of the community that's giving back, that's serving, 293 00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:07,760 that's making a difference, and can be a light and difference 294 00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:10,120 maker for years and decades to come. 295 00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:14,480 And so God just made a move and we're so grateful for these 296 00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:16,320 guys. I want to give a shout to 297 00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:18,440 Willie, man. He's been praying for God to use 298 00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:20,600 this theater as they were moving out. 299 00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:22,400 And it's really answer their prayer for him. 300 00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:24,400 It's also prayer for answer prayer for us. 301 00:13:24,680 --> 00:13:26,760 And so we're super excited for what God's going to do. 302 00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:31,000 You might ask what's next?

We do a little coffee shop up 366 00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:35,760 front, up front, you know where the concessions are. 367 00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:39,000 We do kids ministry in the second, third theater. 368 00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:42,320 Like we got room to go up. It's tall as this building, you 369 00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:45,720 know, if we got to go to 2nd floor down the road, right? 370 00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:48,160 But I'm thinking walk into the hub and there's a community 371 00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:49,600 space, right? Like there's so many people in 372 00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:52,080 the community are dying for an event space, place to put 373 00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:55,920 tables, chairs, like APA, I'm talking about all sorts of 374 00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:58,080 stuff. But you could use that. 375 00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:00,920 Community becomes part of the building, make that available to 376 00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:02,760 them. Now I'm going to dream a little 377 00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:05,000 bigger. Now we're like put an entrance 378 00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:08,480 on a side by PetSmart, do some stuff outside for fun, bring 379 00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:12,400 some food trucks in, have some some community life people come 380 00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:14,119 in, hang out, that kind of thing. 381 00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:16,359 Kids space. This is way big. 382 00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:18,520 If someone wants to write the check for this would be amazing. 383 00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:21,440 Amen. But I'm like, all right, put 384 00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:23,119 some glass on the side of the theater. 385 00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:25,040 We're going to walk into big kids entrance. 386 00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:27,440 And then the glass, you can see this awesome like tunnel town 387 00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:29,560 kind of world where it's like, that's going to be really fun. 388 00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:31,680 If I can get a part of that. So kids may play a part of what 389 00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:35,160 God's doing and then kids come in and go life changing spaces 390 00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:36,720 and rooms. We have an amazing kids team 391 00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:38,520 that love Jesus and kids love Jesus. 392 00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:41,240 By the way, I will tell you on Easter Sunday, we found out that 393 00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:43,880 this building, it's not maxing out at this space, it's actually 394 00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:46,080 the kids space. Just want you to know, there 395 00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:49,200 were sixty kids in the second hour elementary class in a 396 00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:52,960 library that's portable. Come on, somebody so great 397 00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:57,000 problem to have parking. We had three deep cars up in the 398 00:17:57,000 --> 00:17:58,800 grass. I didn't know we had to help 399 00:17:58,800 --> 00:18:00,080 people how to park. But if you were one of those 400 00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:02,120 people, like they'd park back-to-back to back and people 401 00:18:02,120 --> 00:18:04,160 are trying to find a way out of this place. 402 00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:07,080 So essentially all I'm saying is we can't do three anymore 403 00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:09,920 without doing more spaces. So we had to be 4 on Easter to 404 00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:13,200 be in this building. So it just it's just crazy, like 405 00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:14,920 what a whirlwind of issues to have. 406 00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:19,160 But look at that space and like, well, how can we do ministers 407 00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:21,960 really, really well here? And one of the options that has 408 00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:24,320 really been on the table behind the scenes, it's not in the 409 00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:25,720 contract. So I'm just going to put us out 410 00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:29,520 to pray for it. But the ability to actually 411 00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:32,840 leave some space there for some theaters and it's been behind 412 00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:34,680 the scenes and been conversation. 413 00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:36,440 Why don't you pray for that? Because that'd be an amazing 414 00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:39,760 deal for us to invite the community in to play part of 415 00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:42,600 that story. And they could come in and 416 00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:44,720 enjoy, you know, you can leave church and be like, Hey, I'm 417 00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:49,320 going to catch a movie, right? But be a great way to to serve 418 00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:50,960 the community. But it'd have to work out like 419 00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:52,880 got asked to do some divine favor appointments on that. 420 00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:54,800 There's chairs, there's projectors, there's all sorts of 421 00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:57,240 stuff that happens on that. But we're just asking God to 422 00:18:57,240 --> 00:18:57,800 move. Amen. 423 00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:00,320 I mean, we had nothing to do with this. 424 00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:04,640 I mean, you back up two weeks ago, we're like, get ready for 425 00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:08,000 Easter. And now it's like 2 different 426 00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:09,480 worlds. So I'll just be praying for 427 00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:11,440 that. Be praying for, you know, God to 428 00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:18,000 give us asphalt that price. Come on, somebody pray for to 429 00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:21,360 ask for a gift for free. We'll pay for a price up again, 430 00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:24,720 but just for miracles right Divine favorite divine 431 00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:28,320 appointments to move the needle and I just know got to do some 432 00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:31,120 very special stuff in this space and I can see life change happen 433 00:19:31,120 --> 00:19:32,760 there. I can see community life happen 434 00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:34,960 there. I can see young people being 435 00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:36,960 sent from there. It's really cool behind the 436 00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:39,280 scenes, not about the space. We we're literally at the same 437 00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:40,680 time the same time this is happening. 438 00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:43,440 We're talking to ministries in Thailand about to bring the 439 00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:47,520 gospel to different villages and meeting with people in Cairo in 440 00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:52,920 Lebanon to take ministries there and do underground church there. 441 00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:54,880 We've we have real connections that we were out there last 442 00:19:54,880 --> 00:19:56,640 year. And I'm like, Laura, this is so 443 00:19:56,640 --> 00:19:57,800 amazing. What if this building was the 444 00:19:57,800 --> 00:19:59,760 beginning of like a movement that went across the world? 445 00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:02,200 Like what if we like trained gay men? 446 00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:03,280 Dude, give it up for that, right? 447 00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:06,280 Like it's cool reaching our community, but how can we use 448 00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:09,760 this to like church planting residency through our church, 449 00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:13,480 Like having space for that, having office space. 450 00:20:13,720 --> 00:20:15,280 I mean, it's just, it's just absolutely amazing. 451 00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:17,520 And how incredible that you could walk in like 2 minutes 452 00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:21,800 from the Hope Center next door to the movie theater. 453 00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:25,000 Amen. And so I will say, thank God, 454 00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:27,640 it's just been so good. We, we walked through a series, 455 00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:29,680 our first difference Maker series and we went through 456 00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:31,640 numbers 13. I was to remind you guys of what 457 00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:34,600 we asked God for and it was that moment where they go into the 458 00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:36,800 promised land. And it was really one of those 459 00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:40,960 moments where they, it was like a holy moment, right? 460 00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:43,600 It, it's a moment like that sets up. 461 00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:46,400 We're going to stay in the woods for 40 years ago in and they, 462 00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:48,280 they, this is kind of a once in duration moment. 463 00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:50,720 We talked about you guys remember that and they sent the 464 00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:53,280 spies in, they sent all 12 in and, and they, they're like, 465 00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:55,640 this is flowing milk and honey. It's beautiful, it's amazing. 466 00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:57,640 And then two of them are like, we should do it. 467 00:20:57,720 --> 00:20:59,400 And 10, we're like, we're afraid. 468 00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:00,840 And this is what we talked about. 469 00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:05,200 If you remember back in #13 it says they, this is the spies. 470 00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:07,400 They get Moses account. We went into land in which you 471 00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:09,600 sent us. It does flow with milk and 472 00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:12,160 honey. It said here, here is its fruit. 473 00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:14,040 But the people who live there, they're powerful. 474 00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:15,880 The cities are fortified, they're very large. 475 00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:19,120 And we're, we even saw this sense of Anarch there, that 476 00:21:19,120 --> 00:21:21,280 Amalekites live in the give and Hittites and Jebusites. 477 00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:22,920 Amorites live in the Hill Country and the canines live 478 00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:24,200 near the sea and along the Jordan. 479 00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:25,880 And they were paralyzed with fear. 480 00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:29,000 And we talked about what it takes to have faith. 481 00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:32,720 And for most people, vision and faith ends at the first obstacle 482 00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:37,680 or opposition. Most dreams die in the safety of 483 00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:40,160 our minds. The dreams just end because it 484 00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:41,360 got hard. It got difficult. 485 00:21:41,360 --> 00:21:43,600 People didn't believe in it. Didn't they recognize some 486 00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:46,200 people didn't believe in our dream on social media. 487 00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:48,120 Anybody see that? Dude? 488 00:21:48,120 --> 00:21:49,200 Thank you, Jesus. Amen. 489 00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:51,360 I mean, I don't know. I'm not perturbed. 490 00:21:51,360 --> 00:21:53,640 I'm tickled to death.

If people have critical opinion, 496 00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:10,320 hey man, we're praying for them. We've outlasted critics. 497 00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:12,000 It don't bother me. I didn't even read it. 498 00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:13,720 Honestly. It's like Lord just use it 499 00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:16,040 because somebody says something and then somebody else reads it 500 00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:17,120 and he goes, I didn't know about that. 501 00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:19,560 There's a church coming in and God will use it. 502 00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:21,680 Amen. Like I don't it doesn't bother 503 00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:22,640 me at all. I'm tickled to death. 504 00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:24,440 I think it's amazing. But this is what happens. 505 00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:26,600 There's there's people that are just seeing fear and seeing 506 00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:28,840 obstacles. And then Joshua and Caleb will 507 00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:31,720 step in Numbers 1330. It says, and Caleb signs the 508 00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:34,600 people for Moses and said, what should we we should go up and 509 00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:41,240 take possession land for we can what we can what it's on the 510 00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:44,400 screen. I don't think it is. 511 00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:49,640 You guys didn't memorize Numbers 1330 for we can what? 512 00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:52,560 Help me out? We can certainly do it right. 513 00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:55,360 And if God's in it, then what can stop it? 514 00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:58,560 And that's what they're saying. Like we saw God part the Red 515 00:22:58,560 --> 00:22:59,600 Sea. I mean, if this is the 516 00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:02,240 opportunity puts in front of us, like, who can really say no? 517 00:23:02,600 --> 00:23:05,240 Like, why not go? And they had they had this the 518 00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:09,480 vision to see past the obstacles and the the faith to see past 519 00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:10,920 the problems. Yeah, there's going to be 520 00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:11,680 obstacles. Amen. 521 00:23:12,120 --> 00:23:14,680 And and, and, and sadly, like in my world, in my level of 522 00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:17,040 leadership, most people around me, they see a little too small, 523 00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:20,000 just real honest with you. Like it's just what it is. 524 00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:22,640 Like there's just not a lot of great men and women of faith 525 00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:25,040 that see beyond the problems that exist. 526 00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:26,760 But I'm just choosing to. Amen. 527 00:23:27,360 --> 00:23:28,600 I just choose to see a little further. 528 00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:30,360 I'm not saying I have the best faith in the world, but just a 529 00:23:30,360 --> 00:23:34,360 little further to what God can actually do through a space like 530 00:23:34,360 --> 00:23:36,200 this. Some people saw giants, other 531 00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:38,480 people saw God's promises. It's pretty interesting. 532 00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:43,360 Like we talked about how this worked out, like we had 533 00:23:43,360 --> 00:23:46,080 personally thought the deal was the virtual theater are been 534 00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:48,800 bought by Petra. Like we're like, oh, it's gone, 535 00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:51,080 you know, but we're like, well, maybe we have a chance to to 536 00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:53,360 rent it out, you know, and maybe down the road that he comes to 537 00:23:53,360 --> 00:23:55,280 us or something. It became very apparent through 538 00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:56,600 social media that was not the case. 539 00:23:57,080 --> 00:23:58,360 And so we saw what everybody else saw. 540 00:23:58,360 --> 00:23:59,880 There's a theater that's closing down. 541 00:23:59,880 --> 00:24:02,480 There's an opportunity in front of us and we did what no one 542 00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:04,520 else won't do. And we just reached out. 543 00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:08,000 Amen, just reached out and said, is there an opportunity? 544 00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:10,320 And it just started coming together. 545 00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:13,640 I mean, it's just there's a little bit of wisdom of like 546 00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:18,160 we've been preparing, we've been looking, We we saw everybody 547 00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:21,360 else was kind of looking around and we saw and said, God maybe 548 00:24:21,360 --> 00:24:24,120 just use this and God moved in people's hearts and put this 549 00:24:24,120 --> 00:24:24,840 together. Amen. 550 00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:28,640 So it's just this is kind of a Kayla and Joshua type of faith, 551 00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:30,040 right? They believed like we could have 552 00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:32,320 a new home there. Like we put our family there, 553 00:24:32,560 --> 00:24:34,200 like this place is fruit and honey. 554 00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:38,240 Like there's potential, there's new life on the promised land. 555 00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:41,160 Like they saw that and like we're willing to go and we 556 00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:43,440 recognize when we did this message that and you may know 557 00:24:43,440 --> 00:24:46,240 this, but they're the only two people ever to make it from that 558 00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:48,600 generation into the promised land, Amen. 559 00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:51,720 So for us today, this is like a once in duration type of moment, 560 00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:54,080 Amen. I mean, it really is like you're 561 00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:56,440 going to look at the back in time, like remember we used to 562 00:24:56,440 --> 00:24:59,560 be at that school. Do you remember that? 563 00:24:59,560 --> 00:25:04,360 Were you from those days? Right, That was me here. 564 00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:09,040 Put the popping print, you know, like you're going to, you know, 565 00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:11,040 we're doing the building. I'll be getting more and more 566 00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:14,520 less hair. We see every time I see pastors 567 00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:16,280 and building initiatives, I'm like, you'll be on the building, 568 00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:20,080 man, I can tell, right? It's just good, though. 569 00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:22,600 I mean, this is good, but by faith, like it's a one 570 00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:24,400 generation type moment. We, we committed to this. 571 00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:26,480 We decide not to be people who sell it for the wilderness. 572 00:25:26,480 --> 00:25:29,520 You guys remember that we're we're not going to be in the 573 00:25:29,520 --> 00:25:32,200 wilderness. We've been doing portable for 574 00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:34,960 almost 9 years. Oh, by the way, I forgot to say 575 00:25:34,960 --> 00:25:37,320 this. So the contract, you probably 576 00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:38,480 know when does that actually happen? 577 00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:41,560 So and it'll be cut back, but they're going to keep the movies 578 00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:44,440 open through through the summer. We got big blockbuster hits and 579 00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:45,920 stuff. August comes, they're going to 580 00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:48,680 start winding down late August. I'm not sure the date they're 581 00:25:48,680 --> 00:25:52,640 actually closing, but our paperwork closes on the 15th of 582 00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:56,920 September, 2 days before our 9th birthday. 583 00:25:57,720 --> 00:26:00,680 Is that credible? And I wish you would have looked 584 00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:02,280 at that, because I've been. Like let's just move it to the 585 00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:04,600 17th. Brother, you know what I mean? 586 00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:07,080 But God is good. So nine years like in the 587 00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:09,040 wilderness and we're like, maybe we can, maybe we're not doing 9 588 00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:11,960 more like God will make a way. God will make an opportunity. 589 00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:14,080 We're like, we're not going to be a status quo. 590 00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:15,800 We're not going to be apathetic. Like we're going to move 591 00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:17,600 forward. And I don't know about you, but 592 00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:21,240 like I'm ready for a miracle. Like, and not just like in a 593 00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:22,560 building, because the building is a building. 594 00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:25,320 I'm ready for the miracle to happen in people's lives. 595 00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:27,920 Like I'm ready for people to come to Christ. 596 00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:30,480 Like I'm so ready for people to be sent out from our church. 597 00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:34,440 You don't even understand like the need for the gospel to be 598 00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:36,760 going across the world like you, you don't even see it yet. 599 00:26:36,760 --> 00:26:39,640 And there's just so much opportunity for us to make an 600 00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:41,320 impact here. So make an impact there. 601 00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:44,120 And then your family and friends can know Christ and we can 602 00:26:44,120 --> 00:26:46,720 disciple them and grow them and send them out in gospel 603 00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:49,080 planting. Like who cares what they do? 604 00:26:49,640 --> 00:26:50,840 I mean, there's some of you guys here today. 605 00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:53,760 I see you that are like, dude, I'm just hungry for the gospel. 606 00:26:53,760 --> 00:26:57,160 Send me, use me.

Like, who cares? 609 00:27:01,480 --> 00:27:04,360 We don't own anything, Amen. If today's not proof that we own 610 00:27:04,360 --> 00:27:07,480 nothing, I don't know what is. And so we just kind of say just 611 00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:09,320 Jesus, right? And for some of you today in the 612 00:27:09,320 --> 00:27:11,560 room, like you've been able to look for a miracle, like you may 613 00:27:11,560 --> 00:27:13,480 be looking for a church, you're looking for God, you're looking 614 00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:15,760 for the right place, you're looking for freedom. 615 00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:19,640 You found it.

So if you can't just pray, 623 00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:36,400 people say, Father God, just thank you so much. 624 00:27:37,120 --> 00:27:40,120 God, we are so grateful God for what you're doing. 625 00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:42,520 God, we don't deserve anything.

Those of you who walked in today 638 00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:09,880 not knowing who we are or anything about real life. 639 00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:12,640 And you're starting to recognize like there's a God universe that 640 00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:16,000 is a miraculous God that can do great things that can cross the 641 00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:19,240 Red Sea and can provide spaces that we don't deserve, but God 642 00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:21,880 can do it. And that same Jesus came and 643 00:28:21,880 --> 00:28:24,040 down across from your sins, the Bible says if you call on him, 644 00:28:24,040 --> 00:28:27,040 he'll save you and make you new and he'll change your sin, 645 00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:29,080 exchange for all his righteousness and make you 646 00:28:29,080 --> 00:28:31,760 whole. And so today, if you need Jesus, 647 00:28:31,760 --> 00:28:33,240 the Bible says the day is today a salvation. 648 00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:36,080 If you call on the Jesus, you'll be saved, forgiven and made new. 649 00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:39,080 And so if you need Christ today, let me be looking around. 650 00:28:39,080 --> 00:28:40,160 Just raise your hand high in this place. 651 00:28:40,160 --> 00:28:42,720 I mean, I need Jesus today like I need a miracle to have my own 652 00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:44,840 life. I give the gospel to go out. 653 00:28:44,840 --> 00:28:46,320 This is what this church is all about. 654 00:28:46,320 --> 00:28:48,600 If that's you, I'll pray for you. 655 00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:52,480 Just just pray to God yourself and the prayer is not saved. 656 00:28:52,480 --> 00:28:54,720 You appear to me to say, Father God, thanks so much for loving 657 00:28:54,720 --> 00:28:57,240 me not to send Jesus when I was at my worst. 658 00:28:57,240 --> 00:28:59,920 God, you've bent your best, you've seen me, you know me, you 659 00:28:59,920 --> 00:29:02,240 love me, you know every sin, every wrong thought, but you 660 00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:04,800 choose me and you die on the cross for me, God. 661 00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:06,960 So I surrender my life. God is no longer about Sean. 662 00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:09,840 It's only about me. God, it's all about you and your 663 00:29:09,840 --> 00:29:11,720 glory. And so God lift you up to him. 664 00:29:11,720 --> 00:29:14,480 Pray in Jesus name, Amen. Come on, church, give it up, 665 00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:15,800 baby, for God's glory day.

And you see this all throughout 669 00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:28,000 the Bible. Singing is a response to a 670 00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:30,280 miracle. They cross the Red Sea and you 671 00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:33,440 got Moses and Miriam. They sing with loud voices. 672 00:29:33,520 --> 00:29:36,080 Matter of fact, they wrote some Psalms in the psalms from the 673 00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:38,640 cross in the Red Sea. They wrote it down in Psalm form 674 00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:41,600 for us to have today. They had some dancing. 675 00:29:41,600 --> 00:29:44,960 Amen, Miriam. She got out the tambourine and 676 00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:46,760 danced for the Lord. And may bring your tambourine 677 00:29:46,760 --> 00:29:48,280 today. Come on somebody. 678 00:29:48,280 --> 00:29:49,480 We've had some tambourines, you know. 679 00:29:49,920 --> 00:29:51,520 Now David, he danced for the Lord. 680 00:29:51,520 --> 00:29:56,040 I don't recommend getting naked the day, but he did shout. 681 00:29:56,120 --> 00:29:58,280 Shouting. I mean the walls of Jericho fell 682 00:29:58,760 --> 00:30:01,400 and they they shouted praise. We can hear some shouting today. 683 00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:04,760 Man be excited. They laid the temple foundation 684 00:30:04,760 --> 00:30:07,560 to Ezra and they shouted, they they gave generosity. 685 00:30:07,560 --> 00:30:10,160 It wasn't just emotional. They they sacrificed when they 686 00:30:10,160 --> 00:30:11,560 opened the temple. They sacrificed. 687 00:30:11,560 --> 00:30:13,680 They did offerings. When the Ark of the Covenant 688 00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:16,880 came back, David gave offerings. Just paving the way. 689 00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:18,800 I mean just worship. Giving is worship. 690 00:30:19,080 --> 00:30:20,440 They testified. This is pretty good. 691 00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:23,360 A lot of guys did this already. Psalm 6616. 692 00:30:23,360 --> 00:30:26,680 Come and hear what the what the Lord has done, like you're 693 00:30:26,680 --> 00:30:29,280 sharing the miracle. I mean, it's just amazing. 694 00:30:29,280 --> 00:30:31,680 Like you'll go out this week and then you hear about what's 695 00:30:31,680 --> 00:30:33,400 happening. You hear what God did. 696 00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:34,760 That's worship. Amen. 697 00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:37,640 Use it for God's joy. And there was weeping. 698 00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:40,280 I had a few guys that texted me pictures. 699 00:30:40,280 --> 00:30:43,840 I mean, I am crying right now. Just so humbled and so, so 700 00:30:43,840 --> 00:30:45,000 grateful.

After 8 1/2 years of being 843 00:43:35,520 --> 00:43:39,320 portable, God truly opened a door. 844 00:43:39,640 --> 00:43:42,960 And that's not normal. What just happened for our 845 00:43:42,960 --> 00:43:46,240 church, It's not normal. It's truly a miracle and all 846 00:43:46,240 --> 00:43:48,440 that God has doing for us. And when I think about that, 847 00:43:48,440 --> 00:43:51,800 every dollar we give towards this truly is a seed. 848 00:43:52,280 --> 00:43:56,000 And it's a seed being sown not just into a building, but a seed 849 00:43:56,000 --> 00:43:58,920 being sown into the community and the lives that need to know 850 00:43:59,120 --> 00:44:03,440 the hope and power and freedom that is only found in Jesus. 851 00:44:03,440 --> 00:44:05,480 And what an opportunity and a time to do that. 852 00:44:05,680 --> 00:44:07,480 Man. In December, just a few short 853 00:44:07,480 --> 00:44:10,720 months ago, we started giving towards our difference maker 854 00:44:10,720 --> 00:44:14,600 initiative to be able to say yes when an opportunity came for us 855 00:44:14,600 --> 00:44:17,200 to find our first permanent home. 856 00:44:17,200 --> 00:44:20,200 And we filled out commitment cards and we started giving to 857 00:44:20,200 --> 00:44:21,520 that. Really a difference maker is 858 00:44:21,520 --> 00:44:23,520 this. It's somebody who gives 859 00:44:23,560 --> 00:44:28,160 generously by faith for their forever. 860 00:44:28,400 --> 00:44:31,160 I mean, what an opportunity we have right now to be difference 861 00:44:31,160 --> 00:44:34,640 makers, to sow seeds not just for people who are here now, but 862 00:44:34,640 --> 00:44:37,480 for people who haven't even come through the doors, who don't 863 00:44:37,480 --> 00:44:40,160 know the hope of Jesus. We have an opportunity to do 864 00:44:40,160 --> 00:44:42,240 that. So I want to invite you to be a 865 00:44:42,240 --> 00:44:44,400 difference maker. If you feel called to do that, 866 00:44:44,400 --> 00:44:46,040 there are commitment cards on your seat. 867 00:44:46,240 --> 00:44:48,400 You can fill those out. Just committing to give above 868 00:44:48,400 --> 00:44:50,720 and beyond. If that is where God is moving 869 00:44:50,720 --> 00:44:52,160 in your life, we would love for you to do that. 870 00:44:52,160 --> 00:44:55,200 Be a difference maker with us.

Out of all the words that come 887 00:45:37,000 --> 00:45:39,000 to mind, grateful is the first one. 888 00:45:39,000 --> 00:45:40,600 And here's another thing I'm grateful for. 889 00:45:40,880 --> 00:45:44,400 I am grateful for anybody that's in here that is newer or new ish 890 00:45:44,400 --> 00:45:46,720 that came out to check us again after Easter. 891 00:45:46,720 --> 00:45:49,120 So if that's you, everybody just give it up for these people. 892 00:45:51,040 --> 00:45:54,080 In the same vein, I'm talking again to you that are in here 893 00:45:54,080 --> 00:45:56,560 that are newer next week. We have such an awesome 894 00:45:56,560 --> 00:45:59,480 opportunity for you to get connected a little bit deeper 895 00:45:59,480 --> 00:46:01,160 with our church. It's something that we call the 896 00:46:01,160 --> 00:46:03,080 welcome party. Like I said, it's going to be 897 00:46:03,080 --> 00:46:04,760 next week in between the gatherings. 898 00:46:04,760 --> 00:46:07,480 That'll be 10:20 to 10:50. I think it's going to be 30 899 00:46:07,480 --> 00:46:09,840 minutes. And if you are newer, this is 900 00:46:09,840 --> 00:46:13,000 your opportunity to get to know the leadership here a little bit 901 00:46:13,000 --> 00:46:14,960 better. It's to get plugged in and make 902 00:46:14,960 --> 00:46:18,120 some new meaningful friendships within the church. 903 00:46:18,120 --> 00:46:20,720 It's going to be your best opportunity to hear a little bit 904 00:46:20,720 --> 00:46:23,840 more what real life is about, what we strive for and how you 905 00:46:23,840 --> 00:46:26,880 can get plugged in here and maximize your talents to serve 906 00:46:26,880 --> 00:46:29,280 and what opportunities might be before you to get to know God 907 00:46:29,280 --> 00:46:31,280 deeper. So if that's you, you're in here 908 00:46:31,480 --> 00:46:33,720 and you're newer, I would love to see you next week at our 909 00:46:33,720 --> 00:46:35,400 welcome party. And I have one other 910 00:46:35,400 --> 00:46:38,160 announcement equally as important in the Hub. 911 00:46:38,160 --> 00:46:40,320 When you go out there, when you leave, we have doughnuts. 912 00:46:40,560 --> 00:46:43,200 So keep the celebration going. Get a doughnut and just 913 00:46:43,200 --> 00:46:46,040 celebrate everything that God did here over this past week. 914 00:46:46,040 --> 00:46:47,920 If you need prayer or something to talk to, have somebody down 915 00:46:47,920 --> 00:46:49,560 here for you. And otherwise, I'll see you guys 916 00:46:49,560 --> 00:46:52,880 all next week. 9 and 10:45 I remember whoever finds Jesus 917 00:46:52,880 --> 00:46:56,200 discovers real life and purpose. See you guys next week.
