00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:03,080
Good morning real life church. 
Awesome to see everybody today 

2
00:00:03,960 --> 00:00:06,040
want to just encourage you to 
stand to your feet. 

3
00:00:06,800 --> 00:00:09,080
Get those hands going. 
Let's have some fun today in the

4
00:00:09,080 --> 00:00:15,400
house as we worship God. 
Let everything that is bread 

5
00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:19,160
praise the Lord, praise the 
Lord. 

6
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:24,840
Let everything that is bread 
praise the Lord. 

7
00:00:25,960 --> 00:00:29,640
Praise the Lord. 
I praise in the valley and I 

8
00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:37,720
praise on the mountain. 
I praise when I'm sure, I praise

9
00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:44,720
when I'm doubted. 
I praise when outnumbered, and I

10
00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:52,360
praise when surrounded. 
This praise is the water my 

11
00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:59,320
enemies drowning. 
As long as I'm breathing, I've 

12
00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:14,600
got a reason to play the Lord Oh
my soul, Lord Oh my soul. 

13
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:19,880
Praise when I feel it, and I 
praise when I do. 

14
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:28,480
Praise 'cause I know, oh, you're
still in control. 

15
00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:35,600
My praise is a weapon. 
It's more than a sound. 

16
00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:43,480
My praise is the shout that 
brings Jericho down. 

17
00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:50,000
As long as I'm breathing, I've 
got a reason to pound. 

18
00:01:53,240 --> 00:02:01,760
Is alone. 
Oh, my soul is alone. 

19
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:06,680
Oh my soul. 
I won't be quiet. 

20
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:11,680
My God is alive. 
How could I keep it inside? 

21
00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:18,320
Is alone. 
Oh, my soul. 

22
00:02:20,640 --> 00:02:22,320
Come on, real life. 
Let's keep those hands going. 

23
00:02:22,920 --> 00:02:25,560
It's worship of big today. 
Let's declare this together. 

24
00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:31,160
Praise 'cause you're sovereign. 
Praise 'cause you reign. 

25
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:34,840
Praise 'cause you rose and 
defeated the grave. 

26
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:38,680
I praise 'cause you're faithful.
Praise 'cause you're true. 

27
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:42,200
Praise 'cause there's nobody 
greater than you. 

28
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:44,200
I said I praise 'cause you're 
sovereign. 

29
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:48,400
Praise 'cause you reign. 
Praise 'cause you rose and 

30
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:51,680
defeated the grey. 
Praise 'cause you're faithful. 

31
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:56,120
Praise 'cause you're true. 
Praise 'cause there's nobody 

32
00:02:56,120 --> 00:03:04,040
greater than you. 
There's the Lord, Oh my soul. 

33
00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:12,640
There's the Lord, Oh my soul. 
Come on with me, son. 

34
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:18,720
Is the Lord. 
Oh my soul. 

35
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:27,800
God is the Lord, Oh my soul. 
I won't. 

36
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:31,480
I won't be quiet. 
My God is alive. 

37
00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:37,440
How could I keep it inside? 
I won't be quiet, Quiet. 

38
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:42,160
My God is alive, how could I 
keep it inside? 

39
00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:48,040
Declare this, I won't be quiet. 
My God is alive, how could I 

40
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:54,720
keep it inside? 
Is the Lord? 

41
00:03:55,600 --> 00:04:04,840
Oh my soul must keep those hands
going. 

42
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:08,320
So many ways to praise. 
Come on. 

43
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:17,279
He deserves it all today. 
Let everything that has breath 

44
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:21,000
praise the Lord, praise the 
Lord. 

45
00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:28,240
Let everything that has breath 
praise the Lord, Praise the 

46
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:29,000
Lord. 
Come on. 

47
00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:30,800
Amen. 
Give Him some praise this 

48
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:32,960
morning. 
It's so good to gather together 

49
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:36,080
as we praise and give God all 
the glory he deserves. 

50
00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:38,960
And so something I love about 
praising God is just the 

51
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:43,720
opportunity we have to recognize
Him for who He is, to see all of

52
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:46,800
His names, his attributes, and 
lift him up. 

53
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:59,100
So let's do that. 
The Son of Man, the stories of 

54
00:04:59,180 --> 00:05:11,440
the Savior, holiness with human 
hands and treasure for the 

55
00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:23,240
traitor is nowhere is hard the 
way is seen the image of the 

56
00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:30,200
Father. 
Until heaven came to live with 

57
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:38,280
me or rescue like no other. 
Lift him up today because you 

58
00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:48,520
are worthy. 
You are worthy of your name. 

59
00:05:49,640 --> 00:06:01,720
Yes, you are worthy. 
You are worthy of your name, my 

60
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:11,720
Jesus, Because you did not 
speak, you made no sound, and 

61
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:21,600
you died through your accusers. 
Because everyone and died, your 

62
00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:27,480
blood fell to the ground. 
You were redefined. 

63
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:41,120
My future. 
The darkness around for cover 

64
00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:52,880
for the King of Kings has played
his love now until ever. 

65
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:16,280
Oh, worthy of your name? 
Yes, you are worthy. 

66
00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:20,240
You are worthy of your name. 
Jesus, I trust you. 

67
00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:51,360
You're my helper, my healer, my 
blessed Redeemer, my answer, my 

68
00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:54,360
saving grace. 
We're not done yet. 

69
00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:58,680
You're my hope in the shadows, 
my strength in the battle, my 

70
00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:07,600
anger for all my days. 
You are. 

71
00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:12,360
You stand by my side, and you 
stand in my place. 

72
00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:16,720
Jesus, no other name, no Jesus, 
no other name. 

73
00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:29,920
You all will be. 
Miss you all will be. 

74
00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:36,600
Love Your name, miss, you all 
will be. 

75
00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:43,480
You're worthy, God, you are 
worthy. 

76
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:57,040
You're worthy, Lord, you are 
worthy, Lord, you are worthy of 

77
00:08:57,040 --> 00:09:01,280
your name. 
Yes, you are worthy. 

78
00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:12,160
You are worthy of your name. 
My Jesus, always say your name. 

79
00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:29,000
You're worthy. 
So we're well to die. 

80
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:45,620
All the voices lift him up. 
You are worthy of your name. 

81
00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:58,800
You are worthy. 
You are worthy of your name, my 

82
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:04,880
Jesus. 
Come on, give him some praise 

83
00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:08,040
this morning. 
He is so worthy of all of our 

84
00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:12,400
worship, of all of our praise. 
Man, what a joy and honor it is 

85
00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:15,280
just to be able to worship him 
together with you all this 

86
00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:16,200
morning. 
That's what we're going to 

87
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:19,680
continue to do is just to praise
him, to lift him up together. 

88
00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:28,000
I. 
Searched the world, it couldn't 

89
00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:35,600
fail me. 
Man's empty praise and treasures

90
00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:38,640
of fate. 
I've never enough. 

91
00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:54,160
You came along and pulled me 
back together and every desire 

92
00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:58,640
is now satisfied. 
Here in your love. 

93
00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:12,840
There's my faith better than 
you, there's nothing better than

94
00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:17,160
you, Lord, there's nothing. 
There's. 

95
00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:34,840
Nothing is better than you. 
I'm not afraid to show you my 

96
00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:43,800
weakness, my failures and flaws.
Lord, you've seen them all and 

97
00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:49,320
you still can't refresh. 
Thank you, Jesus, because the 

98
00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:56,640
God of the mountain is the God 
of the valley. 

99
00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:05,960
There's not a place Your mercy 
and grace won't find me again. 

100
00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:20,000
There's nothing better than you.
There's nothing better than you,

101
00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:22,280
Lord. 
There's nothing. 

102
00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:26,320
There's nothing is better than 
you. 

103
00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:35,640
Do you believe that this morning
There's nothing better than you?

104
00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:41,720
There's nothing better than you 
in the world. 

105
00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:46,880
There's nothing. 
There's nothing is better than 

106
00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:49,040
you. 
Come on. 

107
00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:50,840
Give him a shout at praise this 
morning. 

108
00:12:51,760 --> 00:13:00,810
That's right. 
You turn boy into dancing. 

109
00:13:03,050 --> 00:13:11,320
You give beauty for ashes, You 
turn shame into glory. 

110
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:20,760
You're the only one who care. 
You turn Lord into death. 

111
00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:31,640
You get beauty for ashes, You 
turn shame into glory. 

112
00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:41,200
You're the only one who care. 
You turn crazy into garbage. 

113
00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:52,000
You turn close into Arbies. 
You turn seasons highways. 

114
00:13:52,080 --> 00:14:01,880
You're the only one who can. 
You're the only one who can. 

115
00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:12,800
Better than you, there's 
nothing. 

116
00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:18,000
Better than you, a Lord, there's
nothing. 

117
00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:27,760
Because nothing is better than 
you, oh, there's nothing. 

118
00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:32,880
Better than you, there's 
nothing. 

119
00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:42,120
Better than you, a Lord, there's
nothing 'cause nothing is better

120
00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:50,840
than you, 'cause you turn crazy 
into goddess. 

121
00:14:53,600 --> 00:15:01,880
You turn bones into all these. 
You turn seasons and highways. 

122
00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:09,920
You're the only one who can. 
You turn the grass to turn games

123
00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:14,320
into God it turn it forward and 
join on, turn bones into harmony

124
00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:19,840
to make it away through the 
season. 

125
00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:28,520
Just sees into highways. 
You're the only one who cares. 

126
00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:36,320
You're the only one who cares. 
You're the only one who cares. 

127
00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:47,720
Come on, everybody, man, who's 
thankful for Jesus this morning,

128
00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:51,360
Give it up. 
Come on, man. 

129
00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:53,600
Pastor Sean, now that's some 
worship right there. 

130
00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:55,600
Man. 
What a great way to kick off the

131
00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:56,920
Sunday gathering at Real Life. 
Man. 

132
00:15:56,920 --> 00:16:00,120
We're so excited that you chose 
to join with us today just to 

133
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:02,120
worship, man. 
Give some love back to Jesus. 

134
00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:04,960
We have a ton of new people 
online and with this in person, 

135
00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:06,400
can we show those guys some love
too? 

136
00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:10,080
Give them a round of applause. 
Hey man, take these the next 30 

137
00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:11,400
seconds to greet somebody around
you. 

138
00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:49,000
Hey, you guys can go ahead and 
be seated. 

139
00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:51,600
Man, what an awesome way to get 
started today. 

140
00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:53,640
Hey, I want you guys to know 
that you were sitting on an 

141
00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:57,160
awesome connection card and this
is a magic card that makes all 

142
00:16:57,160 --> 00:17:01,200
your hopes and dreams come true.
Hey, if you call real life home 

143
00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:03,520
in all, in all seriousness, we 
love it when you guys feel these

144
00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:05,119
out. 
If you call real life home, put 

145
00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:06,599
on your prayer, request your 
praises. 

146
00:17:06,599 --> 00:17:08,079
We want to know what's going on 
in your life. 

147
00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:10,760
I'm not so good at chasing 
checking in on Facebook 

148
00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:13,520
sometimes where what most people
put out what's going on. 

149
00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:16,560
But if you send this in, our 
leaders go over these, we can 

150
00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:17,720
week out. 
They pray over them. 

151
00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:20,040
We want to know what's going on.
We want to stay connected to 

152
00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:22,319
you. 
Hey, if you are new or newer 

153
00:17:22,319 --> 00:17:25,319
with us, this this card's for 
you as well. 

154
00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:28,560
And our encouragement for you 
guys is this is that you guys 

155
00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:30,640
just take this time to get 
connected with us. 

156
00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:32,880
And again, I'm not going to ask 
and I promise nobody else is 

157
00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:35,600
going to ask anything else from 
you today if you're new, except 

158
00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:38,320
for this one simple thing. 
We would love for you to 

159
00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:41,480
introduce yourself to us. 
And when you fill this card out 

160
00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:43,640
to the level that you're 
comfortable with, we'll just 

161
00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:45,000
want to send you out some 
information. 

162
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:47,400
That's all we're looking for, 
let you know who we are, real 

163
00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:50,440
life, what you can expect from 
us and why we exist. 

164
00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:52,680
And so we just love that. 
We'll let you guys know what to 

165
00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:54,680
do with these connection cards a
little bit later in the 

166
00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:57,480
gathering and why we exist. 
That's our mission, right? 

167
00:17:57,880 --> 00:18:00,320
Our mission is to see people far
from God discover their real 

168
00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:03,840
life and purpose in Jesus is 
Simply put, what that means is 

169
00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:06,760
this a week in and week out 
people walk through these doors 

170
00:18:06,760 --> 00:18:10,120
just like you did today and they
walk in with problems, issues, 

171
00:18:10,120 --> 00:18:13,040
broken lives, messed up stuff 
they don't know how to fix. 

172
00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:15,920
And we don't have all the 
answers here, but we know the 

173
00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:18,240
one that does. 
And it's awesome to see week in 

174
00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:21,480
and week out people commit their
lives to Jesus and they find 

175
00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:23,280
that purpose they've been 
searching for for their whole 

176
00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:25,520
life. 
And that is the only reason that

177
00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:27,600
we're here today. 
So the reason why we meet during

178
00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:30,080
life groups is to be on mission 
and to live it. 

179
00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:32,040
The calling that God has put on 
this church. 

180
00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:35,920
So we love it when you guys are 
with us and on that mission. 

181
00:18:36,120 --> 00:18:39,120
Hey, before we get started, one 
last first thing is tonight the 

182
00:18:39,120 --> 00:18:41,520
real life youth is going to 
sport in KC. 

183
00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:43,960
So it is man, they have 50 
people signed up. 

184
00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:45,600
Can you believe that? 
Man? 

185
00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:48,600
It's going to be a great time. 
So if you're on that list, you 

186
00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:51,120
guys are meeting at Hope 
Center's reminder at 3:15. 

187
00:18:51,120 --> 00:18:53,840
And then we're praying for you 
guys, praying for youth just to 

188
00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:56,680
have a great time together and 
just get closer and connected. 

189
00:18:57,080 --> 00:18:58,960
We've been in the middle of a 
series called Elephant in the 

190
00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:01,480
Room and that elephant in the 
room is different probably for 

191
00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:03,480
every person in here. 
We all got that question that we

192
00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:06,080
think we're the only person 
that's asking, but we're scared 

193
00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:09,200
to ask, right? 
So everybody sees it, but very 

194
00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:10,760
few people are willing to 
acknowledge it. 

195
00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:13,440
So today we're going to lean 
into what God's got for you, 

196
00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:15,840
whether you're dealing with some
brokenness or questions about 

197
00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:18,360
faith or why God allows certain 
things to happen. 

198
00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:21,000
Today we're going to delve into 
how God meets you in that 

199
00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:22,800
moment, that struggle that 
you've got. 

200
00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:25,800
So as we continue this series, I
want you guys put your hands 

201
00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:28,240
together and welcome my pastor 
Shawn as we continue Elephant in

202
00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:34,240
the Room. 
I got a turtle man out there 

203
00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:37,480
somewhere. 
You guys remember that. 

204
00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:40,080
I guess I'm the only person I 
was using passive for 10 years. 

205
00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:42,360
Come on somebody right Well 
welcome you guys. 

206
00:19:42,360 --> 00:19:44,400
Can you get for base new and 
newer to real life again one 

207
00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:50,240
more time Let no love them Come 
on that worship was amazing. 

208
00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:52,720
So thank you guys for leading us
in the worship today. 

209
00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:57,480
I noticed Diane was the computer
crashed up here. 

210
00:19:57,480 --> 00:19:59,640
You would have no idea, but she 
was like working magic. 

211
00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:02,360
I think Jason saw this. 
I was like, all right, good job,

212
00:20:02,360 --> 00:20:04,000
but man, the Holy Spirit's good.
Amen. 

213
00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:06,840
It's really awesome. 
I want to encourage you guys. 

214
00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:08,360
There's something very special. 
Happy life for church. 

215
00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:11,160
We mentioned last week we've had
61 people come to Christ so far 

216
00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:14,320
this year. 
Amen that this is fantastic and 

217
00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:18,440
it's just our mission is to see 
our heart is to see God's heart 

218
00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:21,920
is to see people far from God 
discover Jesus that that is the 

219
00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:23,560
Great Commission. 
That is why we exist and it's 

220
00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:25,880
amazing to put part of the 
story, you know just a little 

221
00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:27,600
part of the story. 
So it's just amazing what God's 

222
00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:29,440
doing. 
We've had over 41st time guests 

223
00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:31,920
here last few months. 
We usually typically see about 

224
00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:34,560
501st time guests a year, maybe 
a little more, depends on the 

225
00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:36,160
big days we have, stuff like 
that. 

226
00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:38,360
But with all that said, we're 
doing something very special 

227
00:20:38,360 --> 00:20:41,720
come up this next season. 
We're creating a space for 

228
00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:45,200
people that are newer or new to 
get connected a little quicker, 

229
00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:47,520
to find community, to belong 
here in real life. 

230
00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:49,800
We're doing something called a 
real life welcome party and it's

231
00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:51,160
going to have between the 
gatherings. 

232
00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:54,080
And so with that said, we're 
going to do a little shift of 

233
00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:56,760
our times. 
And so it's going to affect our 

234
00:20:56,760 --> 00:21:00,120
9 fifteeners and you're not 
going to sleep any farther. 

235
00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:06,000
We're going to 9:15 to 9:00. 
Somebody say 9:00, somebody say 

236
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:13,000
9:00 who say 8:45, I love you. 
If you show up 9:15 this can 

237
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:16,200
next week we're shifting time. 
So 9:00 and 10:45 stay the same.

238
00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:17,880
So think about it, pray about 
it. 

239
00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:19,800
If you can get up earlier grade,
that'd be amazing. 

240
00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:21,360
If you're like, dude, that's 
just too early. 

241
00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:23,800
Hey, 10:45, it's the same. 
Amen. 

242
00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:26,480
It's the same. 
So it is a purpose too. 

243
00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:28,360
We're not just trying to like 
pull the rug out, but we're 

244
00:21:28,360 --> 00:21:30,880
trying to create more space 
between the gathering so we can 

245
00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:34,000
do a once a month welcome party.
And then with that, there's also

246
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:35,560
a first sort of Sunday that 
happens between. 

247
00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:37,240
So really excited about. 
Amen. 

248
00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:40,120
All right, we're gonna do it. 
So jump in and say elephant in 

249
00:21:40,120 --> 00:21:41,720
the room. 
Today is a very special day 

250
00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:46,960
because it is the kickoff of our
fall life groups. 

251
00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:48,880
Amen. 
It can be good. 

252
00:21:49,360 --> 00:21:52,000
And so with that there's 
questions we have that I think 

253
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:56,120
Satan uses or just or sin nature
that keep us feeling alone. 

254
00:21:56,560 --> 00:22:01,120
Like can God use me after all 
I've done and we're probably 

255
00:22:01,120 --> 00:22:03,240
going to ask that question 
anybody like what you do in 

256
00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:06,760
life's messy or the doubts we 
have or why would God put me 

257
00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:09,520
through this? 
Like I I don't measure up for 

258
00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:13,200
God to use my life. 
Like do people really understand

259
00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:15,920
if they if people knew the real 
me, would they even want me to 

260
00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:17,880
go to church? 
You ever felt that way before, 

261
00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:20,920
Like, man, like, yeah, if they 
saw, like, the peel back the 

262
00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:23,480
layers, like, what really went 
and saw like the inside the real

263
00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:25,160
Sean Peacher, would they want me
here? 

264
00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:28,960
There's a temptation inside of 
us to isolate ourselves and to 

265
00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:30,920
do life alone. 
And so the question of the pose 

266
00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:33,200
today is a very foundational 
question to really church. 

267
00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:39,920
But should I do life together? 
Is it really worth it? 

268
00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:43,680
And I've ran to so many people. 
They'll say, hey, pastor, you 

269
00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:47,160
know, my church is at the lake. 
You know, I'm out there fishing 

270
00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:49,120
that that's me and God. 
That's that's lake time. 

271
00:22:49,120 --> 00:22:51,160
That's church time. 
Or hey, I'm out there in the 

272
00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:52,840
field, we're hunting and I'm 
camping. 

273
00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:56,040
Like this is church. 
And I would encourage you today.

274
00:22:56,200 --> 00:23:00,440
That is bad theology that the 
church is the gathering of 

275
00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:02,760
people. 
It's like almost everybody can 

276
00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:05,200
love everything about God, but 
just not God's people. 

277
00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:07,680
Amen. 
I'm just kind of done with these

278
00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:08,920
people. 
I'm not saying has to be a large

279
00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:11,720
gathering like this, but to 
isolate, it's very tempting to 

280
00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:12,720
say, I'm just going to do it 
myself. 

281
00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:15,320
I got my awesome podcast. 
I got my Bible app. 

282
00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:17,800
I don't really need all these 
people, but do I really need 

283
00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:19,640
community? 
And so once you dive into the 

284
00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:21,160
Bible, we're going to Acts 
chapter 2. 

285
00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:24,280
And just the first part here, 
Acts chapter 2 is a very famous 

286
00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:28,160
piece of scripture is the launch
of the New Testament church. 

287
00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:32,120
This is the very beginning of 
the very first Sunday, the very 

288
00:23:32,120 --> 00:23:35,880
first gathering in the church. 
Acts chapter 2, verse 40. 

289
00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:38,400
It says this with many other 
words. 

290
00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:42,480
He being Peter disciple Peter, 
the one that betrayed Jesus, 

291
00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:45,440
that Jesus restored. 
And now he preaches US first 

292
00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:49,480
message on Pentecost and he says
with many other words, Peter was

293
00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:51,160
full of words. 
He's a good preacher, right? 

294
00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:53,120
He warned them. 
He pleaded with him. 

295
00:23:53,120 --> 00:23:55,440
Some of the Jewish people, those
at Pentecost, he said, save 

296
00:23:55,440 --> 00:23:58,080
yourselves from this corrupt 
generation. 

297
00:23:58,280 --> 00:24:01,040
He was talking about the 
Pharisees and the law and the 

298
00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:03,640
sin that was happening. 
He says those who accept this 

299
00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:08,680
message were baptized and about 
how many was to say 3000 were 

300
00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:11,760
added to that number or to their
number that day. 

301
00:24:12,120 --> 00:24:16,080
I love this in the first action 
of the church, you actually see 

302
00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:18,440
two parts of the Great 
Commission actually come to 

303
00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:20,200
fruition. 
The Great Commission, Matthew 

304
00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:23,720
2819 says go there therefore and
make disciples. 

305
00:24:23,720 --> 00:24:27,680
Some say make disciples. 
So make disciples is the mission

306
00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:31,080
and you make disciples you 
happens by going he says make 

307
00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:35,320
disciples therefore go therefore
make disciples by baptizing them

308
00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:38,000
and they have father to the Holy
Spirit teaching them all things 

309
00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:41,000
that command you and lo, I'll be
with you always, even to the end

310
00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:43,120
of the earth. 
And this commission's given 

311
00:24:43,120 --> 00:24:46,440
those disciples and here in the 
very first message on the very 

312
00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:48,400
first day of the church, you 
have the first two things 

313
00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:52,760
happen. 
They went they go to people who 

314
00:24:52,760 --> 00:24:57,080
are far from God, people who 
need Jesus and they share Jesus 

315
00:24:57,080 --> 00:25:01,200
and baptize. 
It's amazing to me like the very

316
00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:04,640
first thing that happens in this
New Testament church, go and 

317
00:25:04,640 --> 00:25:06,320
baptize. 
I hope you understand that it 

318
00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:08,400
stop making happens before 
somebody knows Jesus. 

319
00:25:09,160 --> 00:25:13,440
You understood that it was make 
disciples by going going where 

320
00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:16,120
first thing a church should do, 
going to lost people who need 

321
00:25:16,120 --> 00:25:20,280
Jesus, going to find a community
of people who need the gospel. 

322
00:25:20,840 --> 00:25:23,600
Amen. 
Thank God the gospel found me. 

323
00:25:24,360 --> 00:25:28,200
Thank God somebody divided me 
into the gospel like that. 

324
00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:30,160
That's the number one thing we 
do as a church is to bring the 

325
00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:33,480
gospel outside these walls, 
outside of our home or 

326
00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:36,400
ourselves, or just being quiet 
and bring it to a work, live, 

327
00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:40,600
play where we study, we go find 
people who need Jesus, and we 

328
00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:42,360
share Jesus. 
And these people got baptized 

329
00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:43,960
first. 
It happened to the church, Amen.

330
00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:45,920
That's a New Testament standard,
Amen. 

331
00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:48,400
I mean, if you got this one 
thing right, the church would 

332
00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:50,920
explode. 
I mean day one, and it's not 

333
00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:53,120
just day one this because every 
day of the church, that's the 

334
00:25:53,120 --> 00:25:54,880
first thing you see. 
They found people who needed 

335
00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:56,960
Jesus, told about Jesus and they
got baptized. 

336
00:25:57,240 --> 00:26:01,680
Verse 42, very next verse, it 
says they this is the Christians

337
00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:05,440
that came to Christ. 
It says they devoted themselves 

338
00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:10,240
that that means fully gave their
attention that they commit 

339
00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:13,040
themselves to these things to 
the apostles. 

340
00:26:13,040 --> 00:26:16,040
What's it say the apostles? 
What? 

341
00:26:17,280 --> 00:26:20,160
Oh, hold on, that's the third 
thing of the Great Commission. 

342
00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:24,040
Isn't that amazing? 
I literally he had he had the 

343
00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:28,320
first verse where they they go 
and then people got baptized and

344
00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:30,760
now they're teaching all things 
committed. 

345
00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:31,720
This is amazing. 
Amen. 

346
00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:35,440
Is it just me? 
Is it just me? 

347
00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:36,840
Like I was only excited about 
that. 

348
00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:40,080
I mean, this is what Jesus 
wanted the church to do. 

349
00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:44,040
They would go out that we'd see 
people come to Christ, avenge 

350
00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:46,760
them as a part of disciple 
making and that they would get 

351
00:26:46,760 --> 00:26:49,280
baptized because they have faith
in Jesus and a picture what God 

352
00:26:49,280 --> 00:26:50,920
did in their life. 
And they would teach them 

353
00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:55,480
everything, which would include 
them going back out that this is

354
00:26:55,480 --> 00:26:58,800
this is what just happened in 
the 1st 2 verses the church 

355
00:26:58,800 --> 00:27:01,640
getting born. 
If this was just what we would 

356
00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:03,920
do, right? 
The word I keep thinking of is 

357
00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:06,720
together they're teaching to do 
fellowship. 

358
00:27:07,080 --> 00:27:09,680
That's that's community to break
bread. 

359
00:27:09,680 --> 00:27:11,880
They're doing communion. 
They're sharing meals and to 

360
00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:16,640
what to say to pray that they 
were together that the church 

361
00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:19,560
wasn't a separate entity wasn't 
just do your little thing. 

362
00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:22,280
We'll see you next week. 
Since everyone was filled in all

363
00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:24,680
at the many wonders and signs 
performed by the apostles. 

364
00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:30,560
Since all believers were what to
say they were together. 

365
00:27:30,560 --> 00:27:33,760
Let's do that together. 
They were together I know maybe 

366
00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:36,080
the different version on the 
screen still looking at like 

367
00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:39,200
what's going on. 
All the believers were together.

368
00:27:39,480 --> 00:27:42,480
Some of you guys guessed really 
well come on somebody Jesus Paul

369
00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:46,040
together and had everything in 
common. 

370
00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:49,440
That means their life would 
begin to the culture the way of 

371
00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:51,960
falling Jesus was looking 
similar to each other. 

372
00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:54,360
Their heartbeat was the same. 
This old properties and 

373
00:27:54,360 --> 00:27:58,280
possessions to give to anyone 
who had need and every say this 

374
00:27:58,280 --> 00:28:03,840
every day, say every day how 
often every day they continue to

375
00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:07,920
meet together in temple courts, 
they broke bread in their homes 

376
00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:12,000
and they ate together with 
Gladys sincere hearts, praising 

377
00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:15,280
God and enjoying the favor of 
all the people and the Lord 

378
00:28:15,280 --> 00:28:18,920
because of their actions because
the God was pleased with how 

379
00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:22,280
they put their life together. 
Added to the number of daily 

380
00:28:22,280 --> 00:28:25,960
those who are being saved. 
She asked the question, do I 

381
00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:31,640
really need to do life together?
Do I really need to get together

382
00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:34,280
in community with other 
believers? 

383
00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:37,480
Do I can I can I say like, oh 
man, I just go to lake. 

384
00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:39,640
I'm good. 
I got my podcast. 

385
00:28:39,640 --> 00:28:41,600
I'm good, man. 
I got my headphones. 

386
00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:43,040
I read the Bible. 
I got a personal walk with 

387
00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:44,520
Jesus. 
I don't really need other 

388
00:28:44,520 --> 00:28:46,680
people. 
I hear there's a lot as a pastor

389
00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:49,400
and it really breaks my heart 
because it's people that make up

390
00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:50,280
the church. 
Amen. 

391
00:28:50,960 --> 00:28:54,520
And when you don't bring the 
gospel and just share the gospel

392
00:28:54,520 --> 00:28:57,480
and live in community, it's 
almost like the most selfish 

393
00:28:57,480 --> 00:28:59,320
thing you could ever do with the
gospel. 

394
00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:02,720
You basically just said, the 
gospel is going to stop with me.

395
00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:05,120
That's where it's going to end. 
Like, I'm not really too 

396
00:29:05,120 --> 00:29:06,640
interested in like helping 
somebody. 

397
00:29:06,640 --> 00:29:08,280
I'm really interested in getting
poured into. 

398
00:29:08,440 --> 00:29:09,480
I've been hurt. 
Who knows? 

399
00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:12,160
Relationships, Relationships are
messy, Amen. 

400
00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:15,760
It is it worth the mess? 
I mean, Jesus died for the mess,

401
00:29:15,760 --> 00:29:18,240
Amen. 
I would say in this scripture 

402
00:29:18,480 --> 00:29:21,080
that when we leave church today 
and you say the words, hey, I'll

403
00:29:21,080 --> 00:29:25,200
see you next Sunday, I would say
that's unbiblical because the 

404
00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:27,640
goal wasn't to see you next 
Sunday, Amen? 

405
00:29:28,320 --> 00:29:30,000
The goal was like, hey, I'll see
you this week. 

406
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:31,920
Hey, we're going to do some life
together. 

407
00:29:31,920 --> 00:29:33,960
Like I'm going to call, we're 
going to text, we're going to 

408
00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:36,720
sit down, we're going to grow 
relationships to the New 

409
00:29:36,720 --> 00:29:39,160
Testament church has moved into 
at least the American church a 

410
00:29:39,160 --> 00:29:42,760
week to week basis. 
You guys understand that and we 

411
00:29:42,760 --> 00:29:45,040
all do, right? 
Like, hey, I'll just come, I'll 

412
00:29:45,040 --> 00:29:46,840
sit, I'll come, I'll sit, I'll 
come next week. 

413
00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:48,320
Hey, man, I don't get too 
serious. 

414
00:29:48,320 --> 00:29:50,240
I don't get over committed. 
I don't get too involved. 

415
00:29:50,240 --> 00:29:52,400
I'm awfully busy doing these 
other things. 

416
00:29:52,600 --> 00:29:56,680
And Jesus has set the standard 
that the church meets in common 

417
00:29:56,840 --> 00:29:59,440
daily. 
Like there's a higher level of 

418
00:29:59,440 --> 00:30:02,600
walk than just hey, come listen 
to the dude talk on stage. 

419
00:30:03,360 --> 00:30:06,040
Amen. 
Together, think about New 

420
00:30:06,040 --> 00:30:08,160
Testament standard. 
You can no longer say, hey, I'll

421
00:30:08,160 --> 00:30:10,280
see you next Sunday. 
And the thing about trying to 

422
00:30:10,280 --> 00:30:13,720
connect, we'll look to do life 
together and on mission, not 

423
00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:16,480
just with each other, but with 
people who need Jesus. 

424
00:30:17,240 --> 00:30:19,720
Like to think that you're the 
only representation of church 

425
00:30:20,600 --> 00:30:22,920
like like that. 
If if we all cease to exist, 

426
00:30:22,920 --> 00:30:25,960
you're the only Christian in our
city, How would you actually 

427
00:30:25,960 --> 00:30:27,920
live? 
Like, how would you actually 

428
00:30:27,920 --> 00:30:29,040
live? 
You're the only person to do 

429
00:30:29,040 --> 00:30:31,200
Jesus. 
Like, what would your life look 

430
00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:33,080
like? 
Like, how intentional would you 

431
00:30:33,080 --> 00:30:36,120
be to get people to your house 
to, to have a meals together, 

432
00:30:36,320 --> 00:30:38,520
to, to, to see people come to 
Christ, start praying, to go 

433
00:30:38,560 --> 00:30:40,520
start showing the things of 
Christ Because it's like, hey, 

434
00:30:40,520 --> 00:30:43,200
I'm not, I can't bring him to 
somebody, so I'm gonna have to 

435
00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:45,600
do it myself. 
And that's the call for all of 

436
00:30:45,600 --> 00:30:47,920
us, Amen. 
The Great Commission was not 

437
00:30:47,920 --> 00:30:49,080
given to professional 
Christians. 

438
00:30:49,080 --> 00:30:50,560
There's no such thing as 
professional Christians. 

439
00:30:51,080 --> 00:30:52,320
I'm just another sheep. 
Amen. 

440
00:30:56,840 --> 00:30:59,600
OK, like you can't be like, hey,
go to Sean, you get discipled. 

441
00:30:59,800 --> 00:31:03,200
No, you disciple them, Amen. 
Show them what you know, you're 

442
00:31:03,200 --> 00:31:04,680
accountable. 
You know, you know enough to 

443
00:31:04,680 --> 00:31:06,680
disciple somebody. 
Show them what you know about 

444
00:31:06,680 --> 00:31:10,440
Christ, show them the scripture,
learn together, read together, 

445
00:31:10,440 --> 00:31:13,760
pray together, like follow 
Christ's called, do life 

446
00:31:13,760 --> 00:31:16,640
together, Amen. 
I think it's a tactic of the 

447
00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:20,360
devil to keep us isolated. 
Like here's the reality. 

448
00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:24,800
If you do not find community, 
you will stop your spiritual 

449
00:31:24,800 --> 00:31:26,680
growth. 
I guarantee you. 

450
00:31:26,840 --> 00:31:29,920
If I were to ask you, hey, can 
you tame the season where you 

451
00:31:29,920 --> 00:31:32,480
grew the most spiritually? 
You would say, oh, yeah, I was 

452
00:31:32,480 --> 00:31:34,880
back when I was this college 
class, or there's this youth 

453
00:31:34,880 --> 00:31:39,200
pastor, or it was just friend. 
It'd always go back to a person.

454
00:31:39,760 --> 00:31:42,840
There'd always be a person 
associated with your growth 

455
00:31:43,320 --> 00:31:45,200
because it happens in community.
Amen. 

456
00:31:45,200 --> 00:31:48,240
And when you're like, hey, I'm 
done grown, is what you're 

457
00:31:48,240 --> 00:31:51,200
saying, Like I'm done. 
And what happens is when you're 

458
00:31:51,200 --> 00:31:53,240
not in community, you're 
uncovered. 

459
00:31:53,840 --> 00:31:56,360
You know, that means that means 
when life gets hard, there's 

460
00:31:56,360 --> 00:31:59,480
nobody there to pick you up. 
There's nobody there to pray for

461
00:31:59,480 --> 00:32:01,640
you. 
There's nobody to help you, that

462
00:32:01,640 --> 00:32:04,600
the power of God in your life is
being questioned in your, in 

463
00:32:04,600 --> 00:32:06,440
your mind. 
And you're just afraid to tell 

464
00:32:06,440 --> 00:32:08,320
somebody because you're not in 
community. 

465
00:32:08,520 --> 00:32:10,160
And the devil just snatches your
back. 

466
00:32:10,520 --> 00:32:12,840
And you stop even coming even to
the big gatherings. 

467
00:32:13,040 --> 00:32:14,400
You stop reading your Bible, you
stop praying. 

468
00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:18,120
And we get a season of just kind
of woe and poor as me and the 

469
00:32:18,120 --> 00:32:21,560
devil just keeps us silent, 
keeps us off mission, keeps us 

470
00:32:21,560 --> 00:32:24,160
victimized. 
This is what happens. 

471
00:32:24,160 --> 00:32:26,160
Amen. 
This is kind of doomsday picture

472
00:32:26,160 --> 00:32:28,480
a little bit, right? 
But we're made to do life 

473
00:32:28,480 --> 00:32:30,480
together and we have a system 
for that here. 

474
00:32:30,480 --> 00:32:33,120
And as really multiple systems, 
multiple ways of doing it. 

475
00:32:33,240 --> 00:32:35,520
I think one of the best ways to 
do life together is serving on a

476
00:32:35,520 --> 00:32:39,560
team personally, like I think 
just getting around people and 

477
00:32:39,560 --> 00:32:42,600
just getting your hands dirty, 
serving, being accountable, 

478
00:32:42,680 --> 00:32:45,360
having friends on mission 
together is is amazing. 

479
00:32:45,560 --> 00:32:48,160
Now life groups is an amazing 
place as well. 

480
00:32:48,160 --> 00:32:50,000
Amen. 
And today our life groups go 

481
00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:51,400
alive. 
So we have community. 

482
00:32:51,520 --> 00:32:53,440
We have people have kind of 
stood in the gap. 

483
00:32:53,760 --> 00:32:56,640
They've said, hey, look, I want 
people to know and follow Jesus.

484
00:32:57,240 --> 00:33:02,320
We've vetted these people. 
Come on somebody, they're weird,

485
00:33:02,320 --> 00:33:03,640
but they're not that weird, you 
know what I mean? 

486
00:33:03,760 --> 00:33:07,320
Like it's a little weird, you 
know, and we vet these people 

487
00:33:07,480 --> 00:33:09,960
and we believe in these people 
and they care about you. 

488
00:33:10,320 --> 00:33:12,480
And I, my encouragement is often
times we wait. 

489
00:33:12,840 --> 00:33:15,720
And I, I, I was guilty of this 
for years and years and years. 

490
00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:18,760
I would say, man, if, if, if, if
only would just somebody just 

491
00:33:18,760 --> 00:33:20,920
magically show up. 
And I like, I really want to 

492
00:33:20,920 --> 00:33:23,120
have a mentor. 
I really have somebody like we 

493
00:33:23,120 --> 00:33:24,680
can have like relationship and 
grow. 

494
00:33:24,920 --> 00:33:27,320
And I was just kind of waiting, 
like, OK, God, you just send 

495
00:33:27,320 --> 00:33:29,320
somebody. 
And I kind of encourage you like

496
00:33:29,600 --> 00:33:31,720
don't wait for somebody to 
magically show up. 

497
00:33:32,440 --> 00:33:34,680
Like just don't wait. 
Like, oh, man, I wish somebody 

498
00:33:34,680 --> 00:33:36,600
just called me. 
Or like, I just, you know, like,

499
00:33:36,680 --> 00:33:39,160
how about this? 
How about you go out and find 

500
00:33:39,160 --> 00:33:44,280
somebody and make it magical. 
Make it magical with me today is

501
00:33:44,360 --> 00:33:47,160
be the person that leads. 
Like don't be the person that 

502
00:33:47,160 --> 00:33:49,560
sits back and say whatever life 
happens, I'll put a fleece out. 

503
00:33:49,560 --> 00:33:51,440
Nobody called me. 
Not going to group. 

504
00:33:51,520 --> 00:33:54,080
You know, like, why not be the 
person that says I'm gonna go 

505
00:33:54,080 --> 00:33:56,400
find somebody? 
And sometimes you're a, you're a

506
00:33:56,400 --> 00:34:00,880
son, sometimes you're a brother 
and sometimes you're a father in

507
00:34:00,880 --> 00:34:02,800
the faith. 
So God just gives you all three 

508
00:34:02,800 --> 00:34:04,480
relationships. 
So you're getting poured into, 

509
00:34:04,680 --> 00:34:07,240
you're doing life together soul 
to soul and you're pouring out. 

510
00:34:07,240 --> 00:34:10,239
You got that, Timothy, Right. 
And so I just encourage you guys

511
00:34:10,440 --> 00:34:12,360
like, don't wait to be like, 
Hey, I'm gonna find community 

512
00:34:12,360 --> 00:34:14,880
next season. 
Oh, if it works out my timing, 

513
00:34:14,880 --> 00:34:18,000
my schedule, Hey, if you can 
make half the group show up, if 

514
00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:19,560
you want to jump on the team, 
we'd love to have you. 

515
00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:22,520
Like make it a priority to do 
life together. 

516
00:34:22,520 --> 00:34:23,920
It's way more than sit and 
watch. 

517
00:34:23,960 --> 00:34:25,239
Amen. 
Like that. 

518
00:34:25,360 --> 00:34:28,320
I'm, I'm totally done with that.
Like the, the Philip Hugh kind 

519
00:34:28,320 --> 00:34:30,639
of thing. 
Like it's, it's cool, but the, 

520
00:34:30,679 --> 00:34:33,360
the, the work happens. 
The Holy Spirit works the power 

521
00:34:33,360 --> 00:34:36,199
God works in community. 
So what we're gonna do, we're 

522
00:34:36,199 --> 00:34:37,520
gonna share our our groups 
together. 

523
00:34:37,840 --> 00:34:40,840
We're gonna share what, what 
God's doing in our church, our 

524
00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:43,400
somewhat weird life group 
leaders come off somebody and 

525
00:34:43,440 --> 00:34:44,360
the leader of those Greek 
people. 

526
00:34:44,360 --> 00:34:48,520
All right, where's Holly at? 
So Holly, she leads our life 

527
00:34:48,520 --> 00:34:50,760
groups and she can tell you 
about what the passion is, the 

528
00:34:50,760 --> 00:34:53,560
power of together looks like in 
our groups and just share some 

529
00:34:53,560 --> 00:34:54,880
stories. 
And then we're gonna have each 

530
00:34:54,880 --> 00:34:57,000
of our life group leaders come 
up and just share a little about

531
00:34:57,000 --> 00:34:58,120
their passion, their heart for 
groups. 

532
00:34:58,120 --> 00:34:59,800
So give it up for Holly. 
Come on, let me know you love 

533
00:34:59,800 --> 00:35:05,040
her. 
Oh yes, like Sean said, oh there

534
00:35:05,040 --> 00:35:07,040
really is power in doing life 
together. 

535
00:35:07,480 --> 00:35:10,160
And I just want to share a short
story of of just seeing that 

536
00:35:10,160 --> 00:35:13,440
first hand. 
A couple came to our life group 

537
00:35:13,440 --> 00:35:16,440
about 7 years ago and Drew and 
I's life group, they were church

538
00:35:16,440 --> 00:35:19,880
shopping, feeling disconnected 
and really we're unsure if this 

539
00:35:19,880 --> 00:35:21,840
was for them if they would fit 
in. 

540
00:35:22,520 --> 00:35:26,320
And as the weeks passed, 
friendships formed, prayers were

541
00:35:26,320 --> 00:35:29,120
answered, and they realized that
at the end of the group, they 

542
00:35:29,120 --> 00:35:32,800
weren't just attending, but they
truly were like family to us. 

543
00:35:32,800 --> 00:35:34,920
And what a blessing that is. 
They're actually leading a life 

544
00:35:34,920 --> 00:35:36,480
group this semester, which is so
awesome. 

545
00:35:36,480 --> 00:35:39,040
But that is what community is 
all about. 

546
00:35:39,400 --> 00:35:42,320
It's about going to a place 
where people know your name, 

547
00:35:42,560 --> 00:35:45,080
where your faith can be 
encouraged and really do 

548
00:35:45,320 --> 00:35:48,840
recognize that hey, I don't have
to do life alone. 

549
00:35:49,120 --> 00:35:51,400
And so a real life for life 
groups, we do it this way. 

550
00:35:51,400 --> 00:35:53,960
We meet in three semesters 
throughout the year that is 

551
00:35:53,960 --> 00:35:57,200
fall, spring and summer. 
We do it in that way just to 

552
00:35:57,200 --> 00:35:59,840
give everybody a fresh 
opportunity to jump in, to build

553
00:35:59,840 --> 00:36:03,120
those relationships and find 
that life giving community. 

554
00:36:03,120 --> 00:36:06,240
In this semester, we're 
launching 9 life groups. 

555
00:36:06,240 --> 00:36:09,240
Most all of them are doing the 
talk it over questions, which we

556
00:36:09,240 --> 00:36:12,440
are super excited about because 
we know that when you take God's

557
00:36:12,440 --> 00:36:15,760
word, when you apply it, when 
you discuss it with others, it 

558
00:36:15,760 --> 00:36:19,480
truly can change your life. 
And so I want to give you an 

559
00:36:19,480 --> 00:36:21,160
overview of this morning, what 
that looks like. 

560
00:36:21,240 --> 00:36:23,360
Like Sean said here in just a 
few minutes, our amazing life 

561
00:36:23,360 --> 00:36:25,880
group leaders are going to come 
to this stage and really share 

562
00:36:25,880 --> 00:36:28,640
their heart of her life groups 
and why they lead a life group 

563
00:36:28,640 --> 00:36:30,440
and what that's all about. 
They're also going to be hanging

564
00:36:30,440 --> 00:36:33,400
out in the hub after the 
gathering wearing these amazing 

565
00:36:33,560 --> 00:36:36,000
blue life group leader T-shirts.
They're also going to have some 

566
00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:39,320
invite cards ready just for you.
But my encouragement to you is 

567
00:36:39,400 --> 00:36:43,080
to take this step today to meet 
them, to ask questions, to find 

568
00:36:43,080 --> 00:36:46,240
a group, to find your community.
They would love to help you find

569
00:36:46,240 --> 00:36:49,600
that place. 
And today really is all about 

570
00:36:49,640 --> 00:36:51,440
connection. 
So my encouragement is to take 

571
00:36:51,440 --> 00:36:54,640
that step, ask those questions, 
find a leader, take that step 

572
00:36:54,640 --> 00:36:56,840
into community. 
Because at Real Life Church, we 

573
00:36:56,840 --> 00:37:00,200
really do believe that we don't 
do life alone here, but we truly

574
00:37:00,200 --> 00:37:02,760
are Better Together. 
So I'm going to turn it back 

575
00:37:02,760 --> 00:37:04,480
over to Sean. 
He's going to intro our life 

576
00:37:04,480 --> 00:37:06,000
group leaders. 
Can't wait for you to hear from 

577
00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:06,280
them. 
Awesome. 

578
00:37:07,720 --> 00:37:08,640
Give it up. 
Come on. 

579
00:37:12,200 --> 00:37:14,640
So if you're interested in ever 
leading the group, Holly is the 

580
00:37:14,640 --> 00:37:18,720
one who will on board you and 
make sure everything she'd love 

581
00:37:18,720 --> 00:37:21,880
to talk to you, but helps on 
board you just helps you get 

582
00:37:21,880 --> 00:37:23,880
some confidence. 
We don't just throw you out to 

583
00:37:23,880 --> 00:37:25,680
the wolves. 
We want to help to grow you and 

584
00:37:25,840 --> 00:37:27,360
help you feel really confident 
what you're doing. 

585
00:37:27,960 --> 00:37:33,240
So our first group coming up. 
So Jared and Rose, maybe it's 

586
00:37:33,240 --> 00:37:38,960
just Jared. 
Come on, Jared, you doing talk 

587
00:37:38,960 --> 00:37:40,840
it over? 
And so are you going to talk 

588
00:37:40,840 --> 00:37:42,360
about what talk over is or you 
want me to do that? 

589
00:37:42,880 --> 00:37:45,800
OK, cool. 
So because I don't think if you 

590
00:37:45,800 --> 00:37:48,440
don't know, you don't know. 
So talk it over is a series of 

591
00:37:48,440 --> 00:37:52,200
questions that happen based on 
the message we preach on Sunday.

592
00:37:52,560 --> 00:37:55,840
And so if you follow along in EU
version on the on your on the 

593
00:37:55,840 --> 00:37:58,600
Bible app at the bottom, after 
all the message notes will be 

594
00:37:58,600 --> 00:38:01,760
talk over questions. 
It's also on an e-mail that 

595
00:38:01,760 --> 00:38:04,400
happens every Saturday. 
And so I encourage you guys to 

596
00:38:04,400 --> 00:38:07,600
use these with your family on 
the car at home or later on 

597
00:38:07,600 --> 00:38:09,960
Sunday or during the week. 
But we also have the life groups

598
00:38:09,960 --> 00:38:12,200
that base their life group on 
those series of questions. 

599
00:38:12,200 --> 00:38:14,480
So that's what talk it over is, 
you know, for Jared, more time. 

600
00:38:14,480 --> 00:38:17,480
Come on, Jared. 
What's up guys? 

601
00:38:17,480 --> 00:38:20,880
I'm Jared Taylor and our life 
group is titled Talk It Over. 

602
00:38:20,880 --> 00:38:23,720
It'll be the best title of all 
of the life groups. 

603
00:38:23,880 --> 00:38:26,440
We are the Ogs. 
So anyone else that follows, if 

604
00:38:26,440 --> 00:38:31,520
they happen to have a title 
called Talk It Over, then I'm 

605
00:38:31,520 --> 00:38:34,160
kidding. 
We live in a world now where 

606
00:38:34,160 --> 00:38:38,080
connection is kind of the like. 
More and more people are seeking

607
00:38:38,080 --> 00:38:41,000
out connection deep down, no 
matter what phase of life 

608
00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:42,800
they're in and no matter what 
they actually say. 

609
00:38:43,360 --> 00:38:46,520
But we also live in a world 
where there's more opportunities

610
00:38:46,520 --> 00:38:49,440
to be connected than ever 
before, and Life Groups is a 

611
00:38:49,440 --> 00:38:51,400
part of that, and that's really 
awesome. 

612
00:38:51,400 --> 00:38:55,520
Life Groups is the more 
fulfilling version of that as 

613
00:38:55,520 --> 00:38:57,920
well. 
And I can speak to that because 

614
00:38:58,720 --> 00:39:05,160
I know that loneliness stops at 
life groups and I know that 

615
00:39:05,200 --> 00:39:07,360
being a community is what it's 
all about. 

616
00:39:07,360 --> 00:39:10,400
I know that these are like 
buzzwords that people just hear 

617
00:39:10,400 --> 00:39:14,160
all the time and we just say it,
but it's because it's truthful. 

618
00:39:14,520 --> 00:39:17,560
So if it sounds cliche to you, 
it's OK to be a little cliche 

619
00:39:17,560 --> 00:39:21,640
when it's truthful. 
So I don't know about you, but I

620
00:39:21,640 --> 00:39:25,960
go in a lot of phases in life. 
And one of the phases that I've 

621
00:39:25,960 --> 00:39:29,040
been through where I saw 
community really come out and be

622
00:39:29,040 --> 00:39:31,400
there for me. 
It was one of the hardest things

623
00:39:31,400 --> 00:39:33,640
that I've ever done. 
I'm trying to stay a little 

624
00:39:33,640 --> 00:39:37,400
generic because it's not really 
public stuff, but I was in a 

625
00:39:37,400 --> 00:39:40,840
community where people just 
started praying for me when I 

626
00:39:40,840 --> 00:39:44,240
was going through one of the 
hardest times and it meant the 

627
00:39:44,240 --> 00:39:48,200
world to me. 
And if you join our life group, 

628
00:39:48,200 --> 00:39:50,160
I'll tell you more about it more
specifically. 

629
00:39:51,200 --> 00:39:53,280
But it was one of the hardest 
things I've ever been through. 

630
00:39:53,280 --> 00:39:56,480
And just being around a 
community of other believers, it

631
00:39:56,480 --> 00:39:59,280
really is life giving and it's 
really awesome so. 

632
00:40:00,080 --> 00:40:03,880
I want to encourage you that 
that's one of the things that 

633
00:40:03,880 --> 00:40:07,400
you get in life groups and most 
of us have experienced that. 

634
00:40:07,960 --> 00:40:10,800
And some of us are in other 
phases of life too. 

635
00:40:10,960 --> 00:40:14,480
And I go through other phases 
where it's like learn it all. 

636
00:40:14,480 --> 00:40:17,280
And then sometimes it's teach it
all and sometimes in a good spot

637
00:40:17,280 --> 00:40:19,320
where I just want to give back. 
And it's not, I'm not going 

638
00:40:19,320 --> 00:40:22,400
there to consume anymore and I'm
going there to be able to give 

639
00:40:22,400 --> 00:40:26,200
back and to help others through 
things or just facilitate and 

640
00:40:26,200 --> 00:40:28,200
see how others can help each 
other. 

641
00:40:28,760 --> 00:40:32,960
And so our life group is going 
to be all about that and talk it

642
00:40:32,960 --> 00:40:34,760
over. 
It's going to be chaotic because

643
00:40:34,760 --> 00:40:38,960
we got kids, we got families. 
Families are welcome at our life

644
00:40:38,960 --> 00:40:40,360
group. 
It's a big mess. 

645
00:40:40,360 --> 00:40:44,000
Our capacity has freed up 
because of some past commitments

646
00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:46,840
we've had that have changed. 
And now we're in a house and 

647
00:40:47,240 --> 00:40:48,880
things like that. 
So if you're in the Madison 

648
00:40:48,880 --> 00:40:52,560
area, in Raymore or anywhere you
just want to connect, then 

649
00:40:52,560 --> 00:40:54,280
please come on out, bring your 
family. 

650
00:40:54,560 --> 00:40:56,440
It's going to be chaos. 
We're all going to learn the 

651
00:40:56,440 --> 00:41:02,680
skill of being interruptible. 
And even when praying, you know,

652
00:41:02,680 --> 00:41:04,280
oh, that's a super serious 
prayer. 

653
00:41:04,280 --> 00:41:07,760
And then the kids do something 
that's just part of life and we 

654
00:41:07,760 --> 00:41:10,360
want to not like throw them into
other rooms. 

655
00:41:10,360 --> 00:41:11,840
We want to bring them along with
us. 

656
00:41:11,840 --> 00:41:14,480
And so if that sounds like 
something you're interested in, 

657
00:41:14,480 --> 00:41:16,960
then our live group is Sundays 
at six. 

658
00:41:17,080 --> 00:41:19,080
I know we're competing against 
the Chiefs a little bit. 

659
00:41:19,080 --> 00:41:21,320
So, but guess what? 
DVR it. 

660
00:41:21,320 --> 00:41:23,520
Come on. 
Like it's better you skip the 

661
00:41:23,520 --> 00:41:27,400
commercials anyways, right? 
Or just go play by play or we'll

662
00:41:27,400 --> 00:41:28,520
have it on if you really want 
it. 

663
00:41:28,880 --> 00:41:32,680
So Rose and I both would really 
love to have you guys join our 

664
00:41:32,680 --> 00:41:34,640
live group and thank you so much
for listening to me right now. 

665
00:41:35,200 --> 00:41:41,160
So keep on keeping on. 
Somehow I knew he was going to 

666
00:41:41,160 --> 00:41:44,560
end it with keep on keeping on. 
So it's funny you mentioned 

667
00:41:44,880 --> 00:41:47,280
praying for each other because 
that's the only thing like 

668
00:41:47,440 --> 00:41:49,280
there's power and prayer in 
community. 

669
00:41:49,680 --> 00:41:51,360
That's James 516. 
Matter of fact, there's a man 

670
00:41:51,360 --> 00:41:53,800
yesterday struggling with some 
health stuff and we were talking

671
00:41:53,800 --> 00:41:57,040
about that on a text message. 
But to confess your sins of one 

672
00:41:57,040 --> 00:42:00,640
another and pray for one another
to receive healing and healing 

673
00:42:00,640 --> 00:42:03,200
actually only happens in 
relationships. 

674
00:42:03,720 --> 00:42:04,960
There's a relationship with 
others. 

675
00:42:04,960 --> 00:42:07,520
And if you've ever been around 
somebody and had the words me 

676
00:42:07,520 --> 00:42:10,880
too, like where you've I've 
struggled and wow, and, and 

677
00:42:10,880 --> 00:42:13,480
somebody had something similar 
or maybe even identical, you're 

678
00:42:13,480 --> 00:42:15,400
like, oh, think the Lord about 
the only person that's ever 

679
00:42:15,400 --> 00:42:16,600
walked through that or felt that
way. 

680
00:42:16,960 --> 00:42:19,200
That's the power of a group. 
But it's more than just that or 

681
00:42:19,200 --> 00:42:21,280
something very spiritual 
unlocked when we pray for each 

682
00:42:21,280 --> 00:42:23,200
other. 
And that cannot happen in 

683
00:42:23,200 --> 00:42:25,080
isolation. 
So thank you, Jared, for 

684
00:42:25,080 --> 00:42:26,320
sharing. 
I'm looking forward to your 

685
00:42:26,320 --> 00:42:28,000
chaotic awesome money or Sunday 
night group. 

686
00:42:28,000 --> 00:42:30,320
So it's gonna be awesome. 
All right, Next up, what do we 

687
00:42:30,320 --> 00:42:34,000
got here? 
I've got no, no Planet Fitness. 

688
00:42:34,000 --> 00:42:35,160
Oh no, I got Jana. 
I skipped it. 

689
00:42:35,160 --> 00:42:36,280
Sorry. 
Daughters of Grace. 

690
00:42:36,280 --> 00:42:37,560
I'm I'm way out of the loop 
here. 

691
00:42:38,440 --> 00:42:39,800
Daughters of Grace with Dan 
Bray. 

692
00:42:39,800 --> 00:42:45,880
I'm just kidding. 
Daughters of Grace with Janet 

693
00:42:45,880 --> 00:42:47,560
Jensen. 
She's she's going to hate me. 

694
00:42:47,560 --> 00:42:52,800
Come on, when you see Dan, 
you'll know if you don't know 

695
00:42:52,800 --> 00:42:54,600
Dan. 
So thank you, Gina. 

696
00:42:54,600 --> 00:42:55,720
I apologize in advance. 
It's. 

697
00:42:56,560 --> 00:42:58,000
OK, you could have skipped. 
Me. 

698
00:43:00,680 --> 00:43:03,400
Hey guys, so this morning I want
to take a moment just to speak 

699
00:43:03,400 --> 00:43:05,120
to the ladies in the house that 
might feel a little 

700
00:43:05,120 --> 00:43:08,200
disconnected. 
Maybe you've been showing up, 

701
00:43:09,240 --> 00:43:13,080
you still feel unseen, Maybe 
life has pulled you in 1000 

702
00:43:13,080 --> 00:43:16,280
different different directions 
and finding time for real 

703
00:43:16,280 --> 00:43:18,160
connection almost feels 
impossible. 

704
00:43:18,520 --> 00:43:21,440
Do I speak to anybody today? 
Anybody. 

705
00:43:22,240 --> 00:43:26,800
Yes, me too. 
Me too, but let me remind you of

706
00:43:26,800 --> 00:43:30,320
something powerful. 
God never intended us to do life

707
00:43:30,320 --> 00:43:32,360
alone. 
From the very beginning. 

708
00:43:32,360 --> 00:43:35,520
We were created for connection 
and for community and for 

709
00:43:35,520 --> 00:43:40,080
relationships. 
Hebrews 1024 and 25 urges us. 

710
00:43:40,280 --> 00:43:43,440
Let us consider how we may spur 
one another on toward love and 

711
00:43:43,440 --> 00:43:45,920
good deeds, not giving up 
meeting together, but 

712
00:43:45,920 --> 00:43:49,160
encouraging one another. 
That's community that's showing 

713
00:43:49,160 --> 00:43:51,640
up, lifting each other up, 
pointing each other back to 

714
00:43:51,640 --> 00:43:56,800
Jesus. 
Ecclesiastes 49 and 10 says 2 

715
00:43:56,800 --> 00:43:59,560
are better than one. 
If either of them falls down, 

716
00:43:59,560 --> 00:44:02,120
one can help the other up. 
That's the kind of friendship 

717
00:44:02,120 --> 00:44:05,160
and support God wants for you. 
And it starts with a choice. 

718
00:44:06,040 --> 00:44:09,640
Sometimes we wait to feel like 
we're connected, but connections

719
00:44:09,640 --> 00:44:12,960
begin when we choose to show up,
open up, and reach out. 

720
00:44:13,840 --> 00:44:17,040
Some of the most life giving 
friendships begin where we 

721
00:44:17,040 --> 00:44:20,920
simply choose to be open and I 
know that can feel vulnerable. 

722
00:44:21,160 --> 00:44:23,680
I've been there. 
New church, new community. 

723
00:44:23,680 --> 00:44:26,320
Seven years ago that was me and 
my husband Jarrett. 

724
00:44:27,640 --> 00:44:30,400
But on the other side of that 
courage, there are friendships 

725
00:44:30,400 --> 00:44:33,960
that can last a lifetime and 
friends that I can personally 

726
00:44:33,960 --> 00:44:35,520
say are my family. 
Here we go. 

727
00:44:35,720 --> 00:44:42,560
Waterworks. 
Look at the women sitting around

728
00:44:42,560 --> 00:44:46,440
you right now. 
They could come to be your safe 

729
00:44:46,440 --> 00:44:49,600
place, your prayer warriors, the
ones who cheer you on when life 

730
00:44:49,600 --> 00:44:51,640
is good and hold you up when 
life is heavy. 

731
00:44:52,360 --> 00:44:54,920
You weren't. 
You weren't meant to carry your 

732
00:44:54,920 --> 00:44:58,000
burdens alone, and you weren't 
meant to celebrate your 

733
00:44:58,000 --> 00:45:01,200
victories alone either. 
God designed us to walk this 

734
00:45:01,200 --> 00:45:03,720
journey together. 
If you're already feeling 

735
00:45:03,720 --> 00:45:06,000
connected, that's great. 
Look around. 

736
00:45:06,000 --> 00:45:08,160
There's somebody who needs what 
you have found as well. 

737
00:45:08,720 --> 00:45:11,880
So today, take that first step. 
Start the conversation. 

738
00:45:11,920 --> 00:45:14,920
Say yes to the coffee invite, 
join a life group. 

739
00:45:14,920 --> 00:45:16,880
Ask somebody how they're really 
doing. 

740
00:45:17,480 --> 00:45:19,480
You may just find that the 
connection you've been longing 

741
00:45:19,480 --> 00:45:23,000
for is closer than you think. 
And remember, you're not alone, 

742
00:45:23,200 --> 00:45:26,000
you're not forgotten. 
You were seen, you were loved, 

743
00:45:26,000 --> 00:45:28,960
and you were surrounded by 
sisters ready to walk with you. 

744
00:45:33,400 --> 00:45:37,880
Awesome, I just told her she's 
the next pastor. 

745
00:45:40,440 --> 00:45:43,360
Dude, that's fantastic. 
You you had so many great verses

746
00:45:43,360 --> 00:45:47,560
like I was going to use later. 
That's really good. 

747
00:45:47,560 --> 00:45:49,560
Thank you for sharing. 
And there's great community in 

748
00:45:49,560 --> 00:45:51,000
our church. 
And I mean, I love the hearts of

749
00:45:51,000 --> 00:45:55,760
all these people sharing this. 
So Next up is Dan Bray and Josh 

750
00:45:55,760 --> 00:45:56,760
Cobley. 
Come on up. 

751
00:45:58,200 --> 00:46:02,880
They're doing talk it over, I 
believe early at Planet Fitness 

752
00:46:02,880 --> 00:46:05,440
at the gym. 
Look at these studs. 

753
00:46:05,440 --> 00:46:13,320
Come on, guys, who's talking 
Daughter of Grace? 

754
00:46:14,800 --> 00:46:17,080
I'm Dan, and this is Daughters 
of Grace. 

755
00:46:19,880 --> 00:46:21,200
Really. 
I'm done. 

756
00:46:21,520 --> 00:46:24,440
I'm Josh and we have to pump you
up. 

757
00:46:29,400 --> 00:46:35,120
Yeah, on a serious note, no, we 
started a life group together of

758
00:46:35,120 --> 00:46:37,240
a Planet Fitness. 
Oh, there, there we go. 

759
00:46:38,200 --> 00:46:40,960
I'm gonna take a long time 
talking as he just sits here and

760
00:46:40,960 --> 00:46:44,440
does push ups. 
But yeah, we started a life 

761
00:46:44,440 --> 00:46:47,520
group up there, Planet Fitness 
in Belton, which starts at 5:00 

762
00:46:47,800 --> 00:46:51,880
in the AM or 5:30-ish if we're 
working around each other's 

763
00:46:51,880 --> 00:46:55,320
schedules and stuff. 
Also, we got workout programs. 

764
00:46:55,320 --> 00:46:58,600
If you want to be crying and 
hurting and your muscles spasm 

765
00:46:58,600 --> 00:47:01,400
as you walk out the door, or if 
you just want to be on the 

766
00:47:01,400 --> 00:47:03,720
treadmill and just do a couple 
of stretches or what not, we 

767
00:47:03,720 --> 00:47:08,200
have that too. 
So me and Dan decided to start 

768
00:47:08,200 --> 00:47:11,560
this group because we wanted to 
be ambassadors for God anywhere 

769
00:47:11,560 --> 00:47:13,760
we go. 
So we talked to people up at 

770
00:47:13,760 --> 00:47:19,160
Plaintiff Fitness about Jesus 
and everything and he still 

771
00:47:19,160 --> 00:47:26,520
hasn't done 1 yet. 
But yeah, we've we've had 

772
00:47:26,520 --> 00:47:29,400
interesting conversations with 
people up there at Planet 

773
00:47:29,400 --> 00:47:33,800
Fitness talking about Jesus and 
theological stuff. 

774
00:47:34,800 --> 00:47:39,600
Great job Dan, you did 2 push 
ups. 3. 

775
00:47:42,560 --> 00:47:46,000
But yeah, if you'd like to come 
join us, just reach out to me 

776
00:47:46,000 --> 00:47:47,920
either Dan, and we'd love to 
have you That's. 

777
00:47:50,720 --> 00:47:51,360
Awesome. 
Very good. 

778
00:47:52,960 --> 00:47:55,280
I think either two things would 
happen next gathering. 

779
00:47:55,280 --> 00:47:59,920
Either Dan's going to do 2 or 
Dan's going to talk and Josh is 

780
00:47:59,920 --> 00:48:04,280
going to show off a little bit. 
Now, Josh in his prime, he 

781
00:48:04,280 --> 00:48:06,440
actually set the high school 
record for the most pulps in a 

782
00:48:06,440 --> 00:48:11,640
minute at what, 6262 pulps in 
one minute. 

783
00:48:11,640 --> 00:48:14,320
So this guy's legit. 
But now he's old and fat like 

784
00:48:14,320 --> 00:48:15,520
the rest of us. 
Come on somebody. 

785
00:48:17,120 --> 00:48:20,440
All right, so Next up, talk it 
over. 

786
00:48:21,640 --> 00:48:23,160
You got Tanya Taylor. 
Come on, Tanya. 

787
00:48:23,160 --> 00:48:29,360
She don't know what she gonna do
after that, but I'm not gonna do

788
00:48:29,360 --> 00:48:32,520
push ups as you talk so. 
Me either, me either. 

789
00:48:33,520 --> 00:48:38,040
Everything's set so that Jana 
did a great job at talking about

790
00:48:38,040 --> 00:48:41,400
women. 
It's hard to walk through some 

791
00:48:41,400 --> 00:48:45,240
seasons alone and I just found 
myself lonely sometimes and 

792
00:48:45,240 --> 00:48:48,200
finding women that can walk 
alongside you and the pain and 

793
00:48:48,200 --> 00:48:54,640
the tears and the struggles. 
So join me at 5:00 Starbucks on 

794
00:48:54,640 --> 00:48:57,320
Wednesdays and Raymore 
specifically. 

795
00:48:57,640 --> 00:49:00,280
But seriously, if you if the 
time and date doesn't work out, 

796
00:49:00,280 --> 00:49:02,560
reach out to me. 
I would love to join you along 

797
00:49:02,800 --> 00:49:05,960
Life struggles cheerleader on 
because doing life alone is 

798
00:49:05,960 --> 00:49:08,600
scary and lonely. 
And if it's not me, find 

799
00:49:08,600 --> 00:49:10,920
somebody else. 
It's I mean, we're going to say 

800
00:49:10,920 --> 00:49:13,880
that 10 more times today. 
But community, you need your 

801
00:49:13,880 --> 00:49:16,840
community, you need your women, 
you need your men, you need push

802
00:49:16,840 --> 00:49:20,680
up Dan or you need Jenna. 
You need somebody in your life 

803
00:49:21,000 --> 00:49:23,920
to call you out, to hold your 
hand or to pray for you. 

804
00:49:23,920 --> 00:49:25,480
So do you have any Wednesdays 
that's. 

805
00:49:28,200 --> 00:49:33,840
Right, so you get to know her. 
Her story is laced with 

806
00:49:33,840 --> 00:49:37,960
community and how God has used 
people around her to shape her 

807
00:49:37,960 --> 00:49:41,320
and challenge her and continue 
moving her life in towards God. 

808
00:49:41,320 --> 00:49:43,760
So I'm excited for your group as
always. 

809
00:49:43,760 --> 00:49:49,680
So Next up, let's see. 
Oh man, Alana, Larna, Alana, 

810
00:49:49,680 --> 00:49:55,920
come up here. 
There's some other weird dude in

811
00:49:55,920 --> 00:50:02,240
this picture. 
I don't know, you sat all in the

812
00:50:02,240 --> 00:50:02,680
back. 
It's. 

813
00:50:05,080 --> 00:50:08,920
Andrew's fault. 
Hi everyone. 

814
00:50:08,960 --> 00:50:11,880
I'm Alana. 
So I'm actually gonna start a 

815
00:50:11,920 --> 00:50:15,000
little bit different. 
So the past few days, my son, he

816
00:50:15,000 --> 00:50:19,440
is 2, he has been obsessed with 
a new song on the radio, Life 

817
00:50:19,440 --> 00:50:23,160
88.5. 
And the song is called Dusty 

818
00:50:23,160 --> 00:50:26,800
Bibles by Josiah Queen. 
And after listening to it, 

819
00:50:26,800 --> 00:50:29,800
probably for the, you know, 50th
time, I really started listening

820
00:50:29,800 --> 00:50:31,840
to the words. 
And so I wanted to start by 

821
00:50:31,840 --> 00:50:35,320
reading part of it to you. 
It says, hey, how you been? 

822
00:50:35,320 --> 00:50:37,080
It's been a while and I'm just 
checking in. 

823
00:50:37,400 --> 00:50:40,520
I miss the way things used to be
back in 2017. 

824
00:50:40,560 --> 00:50:43,920
And I just missed my friend. 
Hey, I've been fine. 

825
00:50:43,920 --> 00:50:46,080
I've been struggling to find 
some Peace of Mind. 

826
00:50:46,480 --> 00:50:48,960
It's the problem of our nation 
and in our generation. 

827
00:50:49,120 --> 00:50:51,040
We're too busy and can't find 
the time. 

828
00:50:51,520 --> 00:50:55,920
Are we busy or is it all alive? 
We got dust on our bibles, brand

829
00:50:55,920 --> 00:50:58,640
new iPhones. 
No wonder why we feel this way. 

830
00:50:59,720 --> 00:51:02,200
And so I don't know about you, 
but that really resonates with 

831
00:51:02,200 --> 00:51:06,360
me feeling like it's easy to 
fill life with busyness with 

832
00:51:06,360 --> 00:51:10,880
kids scrolling and not taking 
the time to slow down and be an 

833
00:51:10,880 --> 00:51:14,840
intentional community. 
And for me personally, after we 

834
00:51:14,840 --> 00:51:17,800
had our first kid, Griffin, we 
were in Blue Springs, we lived, 

835
00:51:18,560 --> 00:51:20,600
we lived in Blue Springs. 
We didn't go to real life. 

836
00:51:20,920 --> 00:51:23,400
And I found that all the friends
that I was really close to 

837
00:51:23,400 --> 00:51:26,680
before just kind of tapered off 
because they were in the same 

838
00:51:26,680 --> 00:51:28,200
season of life that I'd entered 
in. 

839
00:51:28,720 --> 00:51:30,440
And so it was really a hard time
for me. 

840
00:51:30,440 --> 00:51:33,840
So for this group to talk it 
over and and I really want to 

841
00:51:33,840 --> 00:51:37,200
open our home just like others 
did when we came to real life a 

842
00:51:37,200 --> 00:51:40,400
couple years ago. 
And it just is going to be a 

843
00:51:40,400 --> 00:51:43,760
time where for people that are 
in the same season of life as us

844
00:51:43,760 --> 00:51:46,920
is what we're targeting. 
So elementary kids and lower, if

845
00:51:46,920 --> 00:51:48,920
you have middle school kids, 
they're not going to exclude 

846
00:51:48,920 --> 00:51:50,560
you. 
If you're pregnant expecting 

847
00:51:51,360 --> 00:51:52,920
all, all those types are 
welcome. 

848
00:51:53,200 --> 00:51:58,240
So we really just want to spend 
time together, go through that 

849
00:51:58,240 --> 00:52:00,800
season of life because it is 
pretty difficult at times. 

850
00:52:01,480 --> 00:52:04,880
Find grace in the chaos like 
Jared alluded to. 

851
00:52:04,960 --> 00:52:07,920
And for our group, childcare is 
provided so you can take a 

852
00:52:07,920 --> 00:52:09,760
breath. 
Your kids can be in the same 

853
00:52:09,760 --> 00:52:11,320
room if you want. 
We also have different parts of 

854
00:52:11,320 --> 00:52:13,440
the house, a play room, a ball 
pit. 

855
00:52:14,960 --> 00:52:17,160
That sounded a little 
pretentious, but your kids can 

856
00:52:17,160 --> 00:52:20,080
go elsewhere if you want. 
Or they can. 

857
00:52:20,280 --> 00:52:22,520
They can hang in our house. 
It's very child proofed. 

858
00:52:22,520 --> 00:52:24,080
I'm sure Sean could attest to 
that. 

859
00:52:24,440 --> 00:52:27,520
And where the adults will be, 
there'll be a gate set up as 

860
00:52:27,520 --> 00:52:30,440
well so you can take a breath 
and your kid can crawl around. 

861
00:52:31,240 --> 00:52:39,560
Thank you. 
So this is Alana Andrew, this is

862
00:52:39,560 --> 00:52:42,280
their first group and they're 
going to do fantastic. 

863
00:52:42,280 --> 00:52:47,440
Amen. 
There's a lot of history there. 

864
00:52:47,440 --> 00:52:50,480
She's my sister. 
So excited to see what God's 

865
00:52:50,480 --> 00:52:53,080
going to do in this. 
So Packer group out ball pit. 

866
00:52:53,080 --> 00:52:54,480
Come on somebody. 
It's all there. 

867
00:52:54,960 --> 00:52:57,280
All mate. 
Jamie and Kelly Montgomery, 

868
00:52:57,280 --> 00:52:59,720
where these guys at? 
There they are. 

869
00:52:59,720 --> 00:53:09,080
Come on you guys like oh geez, 
it is it is you. 

870
00:53:11,120 --> 00:53:12,480
I make it awkward as possible 
for you. 

871
00:53:12,480 --> 00:53:14,520
I'm. 
Used to the mic. 

872
00:53:15,000 --> 00:53:16,960
All right, I'm Kelly and this is
Jamie. 

873
00:53:16,960 --> 00:53:20,960
And we love leading life groups.
We have done this since the 

874
00:53:20,960 --> 00:53:22,680
beginning when they were 
launched here at Real Life. 

875
00:53:23,120 --> 00:53:25,840
And our heart behind it is 
because we get to know each 

876
00:53:25,840 --> 00:53:29,600
other on a deeper level, which 
is to me what life is all about.

877
00:53:31,320 --> 00:53:33,520
Yeah, so we've LED quite a few 
of these and we've had the 

878
00:53:33,520 --> 00:53:37,640
chance to make some really good 
friendships and really connect 

879
00:53:37,640 --> 00:53:40,360
with people like she said on a 
deeper level. 

880
00:53:40,360 --> 00:53:45,640
But we've been able to also be 
there for people as a lot of in 

881
00:53:45,640 --> 00:53:48,760
different ones of our life 
groups, we've had people go 

882
00:53:48,760 --> 00:53:53,080
through divorces, other family 
dynamics and health problems. 

883
00:53:53,560 --> 00:53:56,480
So we've been able to be like a 
really good support structure 

884
00:53:56,480 --> 00:53:58,760
for them. 
And you know, our whole group 

885
00:53:59,160 --> 00:54:01,960
was able to rally around them 
and get them through these 

886
00:54:01,960 --> 00:54:04,360
times. 
But we also have used this 

887
00:54:04,360 --> 00:54:08,560
groups for all the people. 
We have several other people 

888
00:54:08,560 --> 00:54:11,960
that either go to other churches
or they just watch online. 

889
00:54:12,240 --> 00:54:14,160
So they are kind of missing a 
little bit of that 

890
00:54:14,680 --> 00:54:18,400
connectedness. 
And so we feel like they've been

891
00:54:18,400 --> 00:54:22,200
able to come to our group as a 
little bit lower pressure. 

892
00:54:22,200 --> 00:54:24,760
They've been able to come and 
just get a little bit of that 

893
00:54:25,440 --> 00:54:27,760
community that they aren't 
getting otherwise. 

894
00:54:27,760 --> 00:54:31,160
And we've been able to use this 
as a way to bring those people 

895
00:54:31,160 --> 00:54:33,360
in and then invite them to 
church as well. 

896
00:54:35,040 --> 00:54:37,920
Are Mike our kids? 
Not my kids, They're our kids. 

897
00:54:38,320 --> 00:54:43,000
So Kate is in 10th grade and 
Luke is in 8th grade. 

898
00:54:43,000 --> 00:54:46,360
And this has been their life as 
life groups. 

899
00:54:46,360 --> 00:54:49,200
And one of the requirements that
teachers had in elementary 

900
00:54:49,200 --> 00:54:51,680
school when they were younger 
was to write in their planner 

901
00:54:51,680 --> 00:54:54,480
every day. 
And it brought tears to my eyes 

902
00:54:54,480 --> 00:54:55,960
when I would sign their planner 
at night. 

903
00:54:55,960 --> 00:54:58,440
And they were like on Wednesdays
when we used to have life group 

904
00:54:58,440 --> 00:55:00,280
on Wednesdays. 
They're like life group, all 

905
00:55:00,280 --> 00:55:03,560
these exclamation marks, like so
excited because it was for them 

906
00:55:03,560 --> 00:55:06,040
as well. 
And so we realized when I would 

907
00:55:06,040 --> 00:55:08,880
do women's ministry or he'd do 
men's ministry, our kids are 

908
00:55:08,880 --> 00:55:11,320
being left out. 
So we really love getting to do 

909
00:55:11,320 --> 00:55:14,320
it all together. 
And just like in the book of 

910
00:55:14,320 --> 00:55:17,800
Acts, I think it's chapter 2, 
verse 42, we break bread 

911
00:55:17,800 --> 00:55:20,160
together. 
That's where we come together 

912
00:55:20,160 --> 00:55:22,920
every week and we have a meal. 
So it's one less meal for you to

913
00:55:22,920 --> 00:55:25,040
have to plan and you get to have
it with us. 

914
00:55:25,480 --> 00:55:28,200
And we provide a lot of the 
meals, which is also exciting. 

915
00:55:28,200 --> 00:55:30,720
And so our group is on Tuesday 
nights. 

916
00:55:30,720 --> 00:55:33,240
I got to get used to that. 
It's at 6:30. 

917
00:55:33,720 --> 00:55:36,280
You just come, come hungry. 
Families are welcome. 

918
00:55:36,840 --> 00:55:38,440
Both my kids will help with 
child care. 

919
00:55:38,440 --> 00:55:40,880
If you have kids, we have lots 
of people that come that don't 

920
00:55:40,880 --> 00:55:42,360
have kids, and that's also all 
right too. 

921
00:55:42,360 --> 00:55:44,040
So everyone is welcome and we 
hope you'll join. 

922
00:55:44,040 --> 00:55:46,520
Awesome. 
Thanks guys. 

923
00:55:50,120 --> 00:55:51,640
I like that little plug for food
right there. 

924
00:55:51,640 --> 00:55:53,320
I think everybody is signed up 
immediately. 

925
00:55:54,320 --> 00:55:55,480
These guys always sitting around
food. 

926
00:55:55,480 --> 00:55:57,600
The groups are always amazing. 
So I love you guys. 

927
00:55:57,600 --> 00:55:59,400
Thanks so much for your heart 
for serving and making your 

928
00:55:59,480 --> 00:56:01,920
place available. 
All right, Barry and Christy 

929
00:56:01,920 --> 00:56:10,040
Hardy, where you guys at? 
They started chanting something.

930
00:56:10,040 --> 00:56:10,880
I don't know what it was they 
were. 

931
00:56:11,600 --> 00:56:12,800
Changing team Christy. 
Yeah. 

932
00:56:14,400 --> 00:56:18,120
I'm Christy and I would love to 
invite you guys to our group 

933
00:56:18,120 --> 00:56:22,680
Mondays and we have food too. 
It. 

934
00:56:25,360 --> 00:56:27,280
Is it better? 
I don't, I don't cook, so don't 

935
00:56:27,280 --> 00:56:28,440
worry about that. 
She's got it. 

936
00:56:29,240 --> 00:56:32,560
Before we get started, you guys 
need to join Josh and Dan's 

937
00:56:32,960 --> 00:56:35,040
group to keep some 
accountability because he might 

938
00:56:35,040 --> 00:56:37,840
have done a lot of push ups, but
he skips leg day every time. 

939
00:56:38,840 --> 00:56:42,640
So I'm just saying, hey, what's 
the name of this church? 

940
00:56:43,880 --> 00:56:46,880
What's the name of it? 
So I know my job's not done 

941
00:56:46,880 --> 00:56:49,760
until I either get Diane Petri 
or Scott Cuyat to shake their 

942
00:56:49,760 --> 00:56:53,760
heads. 
And so I'm going to ask her for 

943
00:56:53,760 --> 00:56:55,880
some forgiveness. 
But I know my audience here, 

944
00:56:56,080 --> 00:56:58,360
right? 
So, and if they let me join a 

945
00:56:58,360 --> 00:56:59,800
life group, they'll let anybody 
join it. 

946
00:56:59,800 --> 00:57:01,960
One of my favorite scenes, one 
of my favorite quotes from a 

947
00:57:01,960 --> 00:57:04,000
movie is this. 
The guy calls. 

948
00:57:04,000 --> 00:57:06,720
He goes, hey, I need your help. 
You guys know this one. 

949
00:57:07,280 --> 00:57:09,640
He goes, I can't tell you what 
it is. 

950
00:57:10,360 --> 00:57:12,160
He goes, you can never ask me 
about it later. 

951
00:57:12,160 --> 00:57:13,360
And we're going to hurt some 
people. 

952
00:57:14,320 --> 00:57:17,920
Whose car are we taking, right? 
Hey, now we're not going to hurt

953
00:57:17,920 --> 00:57:23,080
anybody in life groups, but what
I love about this quote, hey, I 

954
00:57:23,080 --> 00:57:25,120
might have got that from Sean 
316 too. 

955
00:57:25,120 --> 00:57:26,920
We might have had those 
conversations before. 

956
00:57:27,720 --> 00:57:30,080
Here's what I love about that. 
And, and, and you know, I'm 

957
00:57:30,080 --> 00:57:32,880
joking around, but if this is 
serious is like, who can you 

958
00:57:32,880 --> 00:57:35,720
call in the middle of the night 
when you really need something? 

959
00:57:36,680 --> 00:57:39,280
And here's the thing. 
I love hanging out with you guys

960
00:57:39,280 --> 00:57:42,240
on set up, tear down, going to 
going to Sunday morning 

961
00:57:42,240 --> 00:57:43,840
gatherings. 
But life groups is where you're 

962
00:57:43,840 --> 00:57:47,000
going to find your people. 
And in that movie, he knew who 

963
00:57:47,000 --> 00:57:50,040
his people were. 
He knew who he could call and no

964
00:57:50,040 --> 00:57:52,680
questions asked. 
And the cool thing about a life 

965
00:57:52,680 --> 00:57:55,400
group is, is that you're going 
to find your people that will 

966
00:57:55,400 --> 00:57:59,120
accept you no matter what you 
show up, warts and all, 

967
00:57:59,120 --> 00:58:02,000
brokenness and all, and no 
matter what season of life here 

968
00:58:02,000 --> 00:58:04,720
are, they're there for you. 
And the things that Christy and 

969
00:58:04,720 --> 00:58:07,240
I, we've got to do is we've seen
some people just go some through

970
00:58:07,240 --> 00:58:09,760
some of the crazy stuff in their
life or they've come and they've

971
00:58:09,760 --> 00:58:12,480
just laid it out. 
And again, I don't share a lot. 

972
00:58:12,760 --> 00:58:15,280
You know, Sean's probably my 
group of two or three people 

973
00:58:15,280 --> 00:58:17,200
that I'll share all my guts 
with. 

974
00:58:17,600 --> 00:58:20,080
But in life group, I've just 
seen people that just didn't 

975
00:58:20,080 --> 00:58:23,320
have anybody. 
And I, I, I, I, I've seen, I've 

976
00:58:23,320 --> 00:58:25,320
seen people that have come in 
and they've had broken 

977
00:58:25,320 --> 00:58:26,320
relationships. 
I don't know. 

978
00:58:26,320 --> 00:58:29,360
He's laughing about something 
over here, but I've seen people 

979
00:58:29,360 --> 00:58:31,480
come in with broken 
relationships with their parents

980
00:58:32,040 --> 00:58:36,040
and share and and and struggle 
with the ideas of like can God 

981
00:58:36,040 --> 00:58:38,280
still use me? 
I've seen situations where 

982
00:58:38,280 --> 00:58:41,360
people walked in and completely 
just hosed over by another 

983
00:58:41,360 --> 00:58:44,720
church and do I really want to 
go to another church when that 

984
00:58:44,720 --> 00:58:49,040
happened to me at the last one, 
even the the most extreme 1 and 

985
00:58:49,040 --> 00:58:51,440
it still blows my mind as we 
were sitting in the second week 

986
00:58:51,440 --> 00:58:54,160
of a life group and this person 
was so comfortable. 

987
00:58:54,160 --> 00:58:57,840
She was in her in her 60s and 
and for the first time ever, she

988
00:58:57,840 --> 00:59:02,440
shared that she'd been molested 
by her father in in that 

989
00:59:02,440 --> 00:59:08,960
community, she found she found 
people that loved her and she 

990
00:59:08,960 --> 00:59:11,840
felt safe and she was cared 
about all those situations. 

991
00:59:11,840 --> 00:59:14,000
And I can tell you story after 
story after story. 

992
00:59:14,760 --> 00:59:17,040
If you get in a life group, you 
will find your people. 

993
00:59:17,200 --> 00:59:19,280
The people you'll call in the 
middle of the night when you 

994
00:59:19,280 --> 00:59:20,560
don't have any of else to turn 
to. 

995
00:59:20,760 --> 00:59:29,520
And God will use them. 
Well, we might have the coolest 

996
00:59:29,520 --> 00:59:31,200
group of life group leaders of 
all time. 

997
00:59:31,200 --> 00:59:33,240
Come on, somebody you guys 
encouraged by these guys. 

998
00:59:36,600 --> 00:59:39,160
There's there's so many stories.
I mean, just hearing all the 

999
00:59:39,160 --> 00:59:41,960
different pieces and you can be 
a story as well, right? 

1000
00:59:42,360 --> 00:59:45,360
Like God can move you. 
Like you can start maybe at the 

1001
00:59:45,360 --> 00:59:48,240
10 yard line and go to 20 like 
in you kind of move with the the

1002
00:59:48,280 --> 00:59:51,240
the pace of which you're 
connected, you know, the pace of

1003
00:59:51,240 --> 00:59:53,360
which you have real 
relationships and people you can

1004
00:59:53,360 --> 00:59:55,480
call on the middle of the night 
when you got issues, people 

1005
00:59:55,480 --> 00:59:58,400
praying for you, when you're 
fighting uphill battles. 

1006
00:59:58,640 --> 01:00:00,240
You know, it's all good till 
it's not right. 

1007
01:00:00,640 --> 01:00:02,920
Like we don't really need 
anybody until we need somebody. 

1008
01:00:02,920 --> 01:00:05,280
And it's sad because it in 
church, sometimes there's 

1009
01:00:05,280 --> 01:00:07,960
orphans and I don't like to have
orphans in the church. 

1010
01:00:07,960 --> 01:00:09,840
Like I don't want anybody 
uncovered. 

1011
01:00:10,120 --> 01:00:11,280
Like we're not going to be the 
best. 

1012
01:00:11,320 --> 01:00:14,120
I mean, preaching here, not have
the best worship, although it's 

1013
01:00:14,120 --> 01:00:15,000
amazing. 
Amen. 

1014
01:00:16,120 --> 01:00:17,760
But we want to have the best 
care. 

1015
01:00:18,600 --> 01:00:21,280
We we want to have the best 
shepherding in our church like 

1016
01:00:21,280 --> 01:00:23,280
we have the best disciple making
in our church. 

1017
01:00:23,640 --> 01:00:25,560
It's really not about coming 
here on Sunday morning. 

1018
01:00:25,560 --> 01:00:28,080
It's about getting connected to 
each other in being the body 

1019
01:00:28,080 --> 01:00:30,920
Christ and living on mission. 
And so I appreciate you guys are

1020
01:00:31,080 --> 01:00:33,520
stepping the gap. 
These guys are leading, taking 

1021
01:00:33,520 --> 01:00:37,360
time out of their lives, 
cleaning, setting up, cooking to

1022
01:00:37,360 --> 01:00:40,840
pave the way for you guys to be 
a part of community and so give 

1023
01:00:40,840 --> 01:00:42,640
for a life group. 
Life group is one more time 

1024
01:00:45,000 --> 01:00:48,600
blessed by you guys. 
I would encourage you. 

1025
01:00:48,600 --> 01:00:50,840
What season are you in? 
Like when's the last time you 

1026
01:00:50,840 --> 01:00:53,760
had a season of deep connection?
Like when's the last time you 

1027
01:00:53,760 --> 01:00:56,640
were in a season where you had 
people around you, they did 

1028
01:00:56,640 --> 01:00:58,600
mission you like you lived on 
life together. 

1029
01:00:58,600 --> 01:01:01,640
Like it was just like that was 
the season I grew in and this 

1030
01:01:01,640 --> 01:01:04,160
season can be that season, Amen.
Like you don't have to take a 

1031
01:01:04,160 --> 01:01:06,120
back seat to it. 
Like my sister talked about 

1032
01:01:06,120 --> 01:01:08,760
reading the Bible and the the 
dust on the Bible. 

1033
01:01:08,760 --> 01:01:11,840
It's like this could be a season
of spiritual growth development.

1034
01:01:11,840 --> 01:01:13,840
Of course it's fun. 
You saw our groups have fun, 

1035
01:01:13,840 --> 01:01:16,400
Amen? 
I mean, it's a good time. 

1036
01:01:16,400 --> 01:01:17,920
But more than that, it's about 
Jesus. 

1037
01:01:18,120 --> 01:01:21,160
And we can see your guys's lives
changed and when things life 

1038
01:01:21,160 --> 01:01:25,360
just can turn on dime and these 
people become your people and 

1039
01:01:25,360 --> 01:01:28,040
you can grow with Jesus. 
It's just amazing to watch. 

1040
01:01:28,040 --> 01:01:30,560
And so I would encourage you, 
every pastor needs a pastor, 

1041
01:01:30,560 --> 01:01:32,600
Amen? 
Like, I need a pastor. 

1042
01:01:33,120 --> 01:01:36,080
I need, I need people like that.
I look up to that, that people 

1043
01:01:36,080 --> 01:01:38,560
look poor in the meat. 
I've had guys I've called and 

1044
01:01:38,560 --> 01:01:40,160
and there's there's the dance, 
right? 

1045
01:01:40,440 --> 01:01:42,880
My buddy Dan Sutherland, I'll 
call him and I'll say, hey, Dan,

1046
01:01:42,880 --> 01:01:44,760
like, you know, I had this 
happen at church. 

1047
01:01:44,760 --> 01:01:46,520
I'm really struggling with this.
Like, what do you think? 

1048
01:01:46,520 --> 01:01:49,120
And he's like, yeah, man, 
usually get stabbed right about 

1049
01:01:49,120 --> 01:01:50,760
here, you know, and that's all 
right, man. 

1050
01:01:50,760 --> 01:01:53,040
Sometimes you're a builder. 
Sometimes you're a firefighter. 

1051
01:01:53,080 --> 01:01:54,520
You know, you don't get the pick
usually. 

1052
01:01:54,800 --> 01:01:57,440
And just walking through the 
season, I I leave so encouraged 

1053
01:01:57,440 --> 01:01:59,960
that like, you know, might have 
two or three people get upset on

1054
01:01:59,960 --> 01:02:01,920
this or that and the other. 
And then he's like, oh, I had 

1055
01:02:01,920 --> 01:02:02,920
20. 
Don't worry about it, right? 

1056
01:02:03,120 --> 01:02:05,600
Like 200 or something, you know,
and you just need people in your

1057
01:02:05,600 --> 01:02:07,120
life that can pour in you 
spiritually, Amen. 

1058
01:02:07,120 --> 01:02:09,600
And I'm no different. 
Like I have to have people in my

1059
01:02:09,600 --> 01:02:12,040
life that that pour into me. 
And you have people in your life

1060
01:02:12,040 --> 01:02:14,880
that pour into you. 
But we also have to be cognizant

1061
01:02:14,880 --> 01:02:17,800
to pour into others. 
We have to, we have to shepherd 

1062
01:02:17,800 --> 01:02:20,040
others. 
And when people say, Hey, I just

1063
01:02:20,040 --> 01:02:23,120
do church at the lake or I just 
do church online, which is a 

1064
01:02:23,120 --> 01:02:25,440
place to do it, but you got to 
do any community, Amen. 

1065
01:02:25,440 --> 01:02:27,160
You got to do it around the 
table. 

1066
01:02:27,160 --> 01:02:29,880
You got to have people with you.
If you do church by yourself, 

1067
01:02:29,880 --> 01:02:35,080
that's not the gospel. 
It's not go make disciples. 

1068
01:02:35,360 --> 01:02:37,560
Like where's the disciple making
in community? 

1069
01:02:37,560 --> 01:02:38,720
It happens all through 
community. 

1070
01:02:38,720 --> 01:02:41,360
So go baptize, teach. 
That's what's gonna happen in 

1071
01:02:41,360 --> 01:02:43,080
this. 
It's deeper than just showing up

1072
01:02:43,080 --> 01:02:45,560
and having a meal. 
It's the way God uses Amen. 

1073
01:02:46,080 --> 01:02:47,720
And so maybe today God's putting
your heart like man. 

1074
01:02:47,720 --> 01:02:51,680
My passion for community rose 
today like I've got to do life 

1075
01:02:51,680 --> 01:02:53,720
together, I've got to get in 
community. 

1076
01:02:53,720 --> 01:02:56,840
I've been maybe the season 
isolation and today, the day to 

1077
01:02:56,840 --> 01:02:59,240
get signed up. 
It's not just life groups, it's 

1078
01:02:59,240 --> 01:03:02,120
it's life, Amen. 
And I would encourage you guys 

1079
01:03:02,120 --> 01:03:05,280
to when you walk out today, not 
to say I'll see you next Sunday,

1080
01:03:05,280 --> 01:03:06,960
but I'll see you this week, 
Amen. 

1081
01:03:07,760 --> 01:03:08,880
And so Father would come before 
you. 

1082
01:03:09,360 --> 01:03:11,560
I pray for our church, God to be
connected. 

1083
01:03:11,880 --> 01:03:14,280
God, there would be a community.
God will be strangers in the 

1084
01:03:14,280 --> 01:03:16,240
house. 
God we'd be known. 

1085
01:03:16,440 --> 01:03:19,040
People know a middle name. 
We get people's numbers and 

1086
01:03:19,240 --> 01:03:21,760
community and we're able to have
these deep friendships form. 

1087
01:03:21,760 --> 01:03:24,120
We can call in the middle of 
night people that we can pray 

1088
01:03:24,120 --> 01:03:27,240
with, people that that we open 
up and peel back the layers of 

1089
01:03:27,240 --> 01:03:29,840
pain that babies happened. 
Or hurt. 

1090
01:03:30,240 --> 01:03:32,600
Or. 
Questions that we have or just 

1091
01:03:32,600 --> 01:03:34,960
me too. 
Or we can be a deep encourage to

1092
01:03:34,960 --> 01:03:37,520
somebody else, say, hey, man, 
how was your age when I was 

1093
01:03:37,520 --> 01:03:40,960
walking through this season? 
Hey, I'm here for you no matter 

1094
01:03:40,960 --> 01:03:43,560
what, I've got your back. 
These are the words we have to 

1095
01:03:43,560 --> 01:03:44,960
speak to each other's words of 
life. 

1096
01:03:44,960 --> 01:03:48,880
We could break bread, we have 
communion, we can pray together.

1097
01:03:49,120 --> 01:03:52,600
We can just be the church and 
when people show up, we 

1098
01:03:52,600 --> 01:03:54,000
immediately get in the 
community. 

1099
01:03:54,440 --> 01:03:57,960
If you don't sit and stay long 
in a Pew or a seat or on the 

1100
01:03:57,960 --> 01:03:59,320
outskirts. 
Got to be really good at 

1101
01:03:59,320 --> 01:04:02,720
bringing people into the family,
really good at being a church 

1102
01:04:02,720 --> 01:04:06,080
that's on mission, not just to 
reach people got but to grow 

1103
01:04:06,080 --> 01:04:09,080
people, to invest in people, to 
shepherd people. 

1104
01:04:09,520 --> 01:04:12,120
Maybe today you're a regular 
member of real life. 

1105
01:04:12,120 --> 01:04:14,400
You're you're a Jesus follower 
in God's is pulling your heart. 

1106
01:04:14,400 --> 01:04:17,240
Like I got to get in community, 
like I got to find a community. 

1107
01:04:17,240 --> 01:04:19,640
I've been kind of isolated, but 
today it's making real clear. 

1108
01:04:19,640 --> 01:04:22,640
I got a sign for a life group. 
I've got to be in community. 

1109
01:04:22,640 --> 01:04:23,960
If that's you, just raise your 
hand high. 

1110
01:04:24,240 --> 01:04:26,280
They'll be looking around you 
say that's me. 

1111
01:04:26,520 --> 01:04:28,880
I've got to find community. 
I've got to get in the right 

1112
01:04:28,880 --> 01:04:31,320
around the right people. 
Father, you see the hands, you 

1113
01:04:31,320 --> 01:04:35,040
know, the hearts that help us to
take that step, God to, to make 

1114
01:04:35,040 --> 01:04:38,280
something magical, like to make 
this season, the season that we 

1115
01:04:38,280 --> 01:04:41,040
grow, that we, that we just get 
around the right relationships. 

1116
01:04:41,040 --> 01:04:44,960
God that we, we dream and we 
think and we, we believe in the 

1117
01:04:44,960 --> 01:04:48,080
conversations we have around us.
And so God change our 

1118
01:04:48,080 --> 01:04:51,120
environment and through a 
community, God change us. 

1119
01:04:51,480 --> 01:04:54,160
Yeah, we're desperate not just 
for you, but for each other and 

1120
01:04:54,160 --> 01:04:57,120
help our church to model what 
real family looks like, what 

1121
01:04:57,120 --> 01:04:58,760
forgiveness looks like, grace 
looks like. 

1122
01:04:58,960 --> 01:05:02,360
All this happens around people. 
And so God, we're not going to 

1123
01:05:02,360 --> 01:05:05,600
shortchange the process. 
God, we're going to just be in 

1124
01:05:05,600 --> 01:05:07,320
life together. 
And God, you're going to move 

1125
01:05:07,320 --> 01:05:09,160
through US. 
I'll pray for one more group of 

1126
01:05:09,160 --> 01:05:10,120
people. 
That's those of you who 

1127
01:05:10,120 --> 01:05:12,640
recognize that you need to be in
community with God. 

1128
01:05:13,280 --> 01:05:15,720
That the Ichi's leaders to open 
their house and their home and 

1129
01:05:15,720 --> 01:05:18,600
take this extra time and energy,
even finances to provide meals 

1130
01:05:18,600 --> 01:05:20,480
and extra things is not an 
accident. 

1131
01:05:20,920 --> 01:05:23,600
They're doing this because they 
deeply love you, because Jesus 

1132
01:05:23,600 --> 01:05:25,840
loved them. 
The Bible says that Jesus came 

1133
01:05:25,840 --> 01:05:27,840
2000 years ago because He loved 
us. 

1134
01:05:27,840 --> 01:05:30,680
The Father said that I've given 
my son that whosoever believe in

1135
01:05:30,680 --> 01:05:33,600
him shall not perish. 
That everlasting life is a gift 

1136
01:05:33,600 --> 01:05:37,120
of God because He loved the 
world and you were loved. 

1137
01:05:37,120 --> 01:05:40,200
Today that love started with 
community because the Son saw 

1138
01:05:40,280 --> 01:05:43,400
you and the Father saw you and 
came here and made a way to be 

1139
01:05:43,400 --> 01:05:46,560
in a relationship with Him. 
Because of that, we get to reach

1140
01:05:46,560 --> 01:05:48,640
out and care for you. 
Be in the hands of the feet of 

1141
01:05:48,640 --> 01:05:50,800
Christ. 
So today if you need the 

1142
01:05:50,800 --> 01:05:53,640
ultimate relationship, you need 
the the relationship that 

1143
01:05:53,640 --> 01:05:57,760
changes your eternity, the one 
that you can put your life stake

1144
01:05:57,760 --> 01:06:00,360
your life into for all the 
eternity, the one that died on 

1145
01:06:00,360 --> 01:06:03,640
the cross for your sins. 
That's the love of Jesus. 

1146
01:06:03,840 --> 01:06:05,760
You could experience love from 
each other, but it's just a 

1147
01:06:05,760 --> 01:06:07,120
reflection of what God has done 
to us. 

1148
01:06:07,120 --> 01:06:10,120
It's all because of Jesus. 
If this kind of grace and 

1149
01:06:10,280 --> 01:06:12,880
hospitality and love for each 
other. 

1150
01:06:13,280 --> 01:06:16,080
And so if you need a love of God
in your life, Paulo says you 

1151
01:06:16,080 --> 01:06:18,880
calling him the day's day of 
salvation that be saved, 

1152
01:06:19,000 --> 01:06:22,400
forgiven and made new, that's 
only through Jesus, his name. 

1153
01:06:22,400 --> 01:06:24,040
That's what Peter preached in 
Acts 2. 

1154
01:06:24,240 --> 01:06:26,640
There's only one name under 
heaven, which men shall be 

1155
01:06:26,640 --> 01:06:28,760
saved. 
It's the name of Jesus. 

1156
01:06:28,960 --> 01:06:31,520
It's that name that they 
preached on day one when they 

1157
01:06:31,520 --> 01:06:34,720
when they go his name they 
baptize under. 

1158
01:06:34,960 --> 01:06:37,720
It's the name they teach. 
And so it's all for Jesus. 

1159
01:06:37,720 --> 01:06:40,440
It's all his name to make his 
name a lights, his name famous, 

1160
01:06:40,440 --> 01:06:42,920
his name gets his glory. 
And today if you need to humble 

1161
01:06:42,920 --> 01:06:45,120
yourself and say it's all about 
Jesus, I believe you down the 

1162
01:06:45,120 --> 01:06:47,080
cross for me. 
If that's you, that I'd be 

1163
01:06:47,080 --> 01:06:48,280
looking around, just raise your 
hand high. 

1164
01:06:48,280 --> 01:06:50,520
So I need Jesus today. 
It's making sense. 

1165
01:06:50,520 --> 01:06:53,400
There's a lot more love in this 
room than I've ever felt like. 

1166
01:06:53,400 --> 01:06:55,040
I didn't grow up with this kind 
of love and this kind of 

1167
01:06:55,040 --> 01:06:56,560
relationship. 
My family didn't really look 

1168
01:06:56,560 --> 01:06:59,200
like this at all. 
My my community I've been in 

1169
01:06:59,200 --> 01:07:01,560
didn't look like this, but this 
is because of Jesus. 

1170
01:07:01,560 --> 01:07:03,640
I need Jesus. 
If you raise your hand, we just 

1171
01:07:03,720 --> 01:07:05,160
praise prayer. 
It's not the prayer that saves 

1172
01:07:05,160 --> 01:07:07,600
you, but your heart towards him 
to say father God, thanks so 

1173
01:07:07,600 --> 01:07:10,920
much for showing your love today
through all these different 

1174
01:07:10,920 --> 01:07:14,520
people from push up Dan come on 
somebody to all these different 

1175
01:07:14,520 --> 01:07:16,400
stories that there's a common 
theme. 

1176
01:07:16,400 --> 01:07:19,560
It's it's the love and it came 
from Christ and so God, I need 

1177
01:07:19,560 --> 01:07:21,920
your love in my life. 
I confess my sin. 

1178
01:07:21,920 --> 01:07:23,760
I'm a Sinner needed a savior 
gotten broken. 

1179
01:07:24,280 --> 01:07:26,400
I've seen brokenness. 
I know what not to do but God I 

1180
01:07:26,400 --> 01:07:29,480
need you in my life. 
God give me your spirit. 

1181
01:07:29,480 --> 01:07:32,360
God change me inside out. 
God will follow you and I pray 

1182
01:07:32,360 --> 01:07:35,320
this in Jesus name. 
The church said Amen. 

1183
01:07:35,320 --> 01:07:36,960
Come on, give it up for Jesus 
one more time. 

1184
01:07:41,680 --> 01:07:44,480
Hey man, just hearing all the 
stories from these leaders, just

1185
01:07:44,840 --> 01:07:48,360
the power of doing life together
and being in community together.

1186
01:07:48,360 --> 01:07:50,880
Just a powerful and encouraging 
word today. 

1187
01:07:50,880 --> 01:07:52,920
And so I just want to say if 
that's you and you prayed that 

1188
01:07:52,920 --> 01:07:57,800
prayer to accept Jesus, Maybe 
you realized today that you need

1189
01:07:58,040 --> 01:07:59,920
that. 
You need community, you need 

1190
01:07:59,920 --> 01:08:01,800
connection. 
You found that in Jesus today. 

1191
01:08:02,040 --> 01:08:05,800
Congratulations. 
We are so pumped for you in this

1192
01:08:05,800 --> 01:08:07,360
journey that you're about to 
take with Jesus. 

1193
01:08:07,360 --> 01:08:09,920
We have a couple things for you.
If you would let us know that 

1194
01:08:09,920 --> 01:08:12,040
you made that decision, you can 
do that by grabbing that 

1195
01:08:12,040 --> 01:08:15,000
connection card and filling out 
information, but check that box 

1196
01:08:15,000 --> 01:08:17,240
that says I committed my life to
Jesus. 

1197
01:08:17,600 --> 01:08:19,720
And by doing that it helps us 
just to be able to walk 

1198
01:08:19,720 --> 01:08:22,080
alongside you to resource you 
this week. 

1199
01:08:22,279 --> 01:08:24,560
And we'd love to drop you a free
book in the mail. 

1200
01:08:24,880 --> 01:08:27,680

01:08:27,680 --> 01:08:30,319
will be just an awesome resource
for you as you're taking these 

1202
01:08:30,319 --> 01:08:33,040

01:09:29,240 --> 01:09:33,680
so much for being here today. 
And hey, I want to just say 

1226
01:09:33,680 --> 01:09:37,000
thank you so much to those of 
you who give here at Real Life 

1227
01:09:37,000 --> 01:09:39,399
Church. 
You really are putting God's 

1228
01:09:39,399 --> 01:09:41,800
work on display through your 
generosity. 

1229
01:09:42,319 --> 01:09:45,000
And this year alone, we've had 
21 people get baptized in 

1230
01:09:45,000 --> 01:09:48,040
Easter, which is so amazing. 
We had two people sign up for 

1231
01:09:48,040 --> 01:09:51,240
baptism just last week, which is
awesome. 

1232
01:09:51,560 --> 01:09:55,120
But it is so much more than just
a number. 

1233
01:09:55,640 --> 01:09:59,440
It's about real transformation. 
It's about people finding real 

1234
01:09:59,440 --> 01:10:02,960
healing and real freedom and 
real hope. 

1235
01:10:03,280 --> 01:10:06,320
We're seeing marriage is 
restored and relationships 

1236
01:10:06,320 --> 01:10:08,720
healed. 
People finding freedom, breaking

1237
01:10:08,720 --> 01:10:12,920
free from addiction, from old 
thought patterns, and ultimately

1238
01:10:13,320 --> 01:10:16,200
it's eternities of being 
changed. 

1239
01:10:16,840 --> 01:10:20,880
And that baptism is more than 
just going under the water and 

1240
01:10:20,880 --> 01:10:23,120
coming back up. 
It really is saying the old me 

1241
01:10:23,120 --> 01:10:27,080
is gone, the new me has come. 
It's taking that step, like I 

1242
01:10:27,080 --> 01:10:30,800
said, into freedom, into 
healing, into hope. 

1243
01:10:31,360 --> 01:10:34,800
And so every dollar you give has
a story like that. 

1244
01:10:34,800 --> 01:10:36,640
It's not just a story of 
baptism, it's a story of 

1245
01:10:36,640 --> 01:10:39,880
transformation. 
And we're not content with just 

1246
01:10:39,880 --> 01:10:44,600
21 people or even 23, but we're 
believing God for seeing 50 

1247
01:10:44,600 --> 01:10:48,400
people take that step of baptism
this year. 

1248
01:10:48,400 --> 01:10:51,920
And so if that's you, if you've 
been waiting to take that step, 

1249
01:10:52,000 --> 01:10:54,760
can I just encourage you, let 
today be that day. 

1250
01:10:55,120 --> 01:10:56,960
There's a baptism card on your 
seat. 

1251
01:10:57,240 --> 01:10:59,840
You can fill that out, drop it 
in the Giving Bucks buckets. 

1252
01:10:59,960 --> 01:11:02,120
You can indicate it on the 
connection card, and we'll reach

1253
01:11:02,120 --> 01:11:04,240
out to you. 
But if that is speaking to you 

1254
01:11:04,240 --> 01:11:06,680
today, we would love for you to 
be one of the 50. 

1255
01:11:06,800 --> 01:11:09,800
We're going to do baptisms on 
our birthday coming up in just a

1256
01:11:09,800 --> 01:11:13,040
couple weeks, September 21st. 
But even if maybe you just have 

1257
01:11:13,040 --> 01:11:15,320
questions about baptism as well,
fill that out too. 

1258
01:11:15,320 --> 01:11:18,280
I'd love to reach out and just 
connect with you this week. 

1259
01:11:18,520 --> 01:11:21,640
But man, every dollar you give 
is tied to a story of all of 

1260
01:11:21,640 --> 01:11:24,680
these that I've just shared of 
hope, of freedom, of people who 

1261
01:11:24,680 --> 01:11:26,800
have changing their life. 
Every dollar you give goes right

1262
01:11:26,800 --> 01:11:29,200
back to that. 
And as our generosity grows, our

1263
01:11:29,200 --> 01:11:31,600
impact really can grow. 
So thank you so much to those of

1264
01:11:31,600 --> 01:11:33,440
you who give here. 
I want to invite you to take 

1265
01:11:33,440 --> 01:11:35,040
part in that today. 
If you call real life church 

1266
01:11:35,040 --> 01:11:37,400
home, there are a lot of ways 
you can do that. 

1267
01:11:37,400 --> 01:11:39,440
You can text any amount you 
can't. 

1268
01:11:39,440 --> 01:11:41,840
I about gave you wrong 
information. 

1269
01:11:42,160 --> 01:11:44,720
Check out the screen behind me. 
All the ways are there. 

1270
01:11:44,720 --> 01:11:47,240
You can head to our website, 
scan the QR, you can text that 

1271
01:11:47,240 --> 01:11:49,160
number. 
You can drop cash or check in 

1272
01:11:49,160 --> 01:11:51,880
the giving buckets as they pass 
here in just a few minutes. 

1273
01:11:51,880 --> 01:11:55,080
There's also a giving box in the
back of that isn't working for 

1274
01:11:55,080 --> 01:11:57,320
you. 
And as always, if you or your 

1275
01:11:57,320 --> 01:12:00,880
family find yourself in 
immediate need of food, of 

1276
01:12:00,880 --> 01:12:04,080
clothing, of shelter this week, 
would you please reach into the 

1277
01:12:04,080 --> 01:12:06,800
buckets as they pass here in 
just a couple of minutes? 

1278
01:12:06,800 --> 01:12:10,760
Grab any loose cash that you see
there because we truly do want 

1279
01:12:10,760 --> 01:12:12,680
to be a blessing to you and your
family. 

1280
01:12:15,440 --> 01:12:16,680
Man, did you guys have fun 
today? 

1281
01:12:18,600 --> 01:12:20,360
Let's give it up for God.

1282
01:12:20,360 --> 01:12:21,640
groups and he's going to do this
semester. 

1283
01:12:21,640 --> 01:12:23,080
Man, I'm so excited. 
Let's do it. 

1284
01:12:23,080 --> 01:12:26,160
Give it up for God, can't we? 
There we go, there we go. 

1285
01:12:27,400 --> 01:12:29,760
Hey, one last awesome thing
