00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:50,880
when in the midst of a hard 
time, it's hard to know and see 

66
00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:53,520
what He's doing. 
But He's so good and He loves us

67
00:06:53,520 --> 00:07:08,720
so much, so let's worship Him 
as you. 

68
00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:17,600
Give life you are love. 
You bring light to the darkness,

69
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:28,360
You give home, You restore every
heart that is broken. 

70
00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:44,000

71
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:48,720
we pour round our praise. 
We pour round our praise. 

72
00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:56,400
It's your breath in our lives, 
So we pour round our praise. 

73
00:07:56,440 --> 00:08:11,840
You only. 
'Cause you give light, you are 

74

Strain on you Lord, and it's 

77
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:46,480

So we born our praise in you 
only. 

84
00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:28,080
You know, praise is the only 
thing that God can't give 

85
00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:31,080
Himself, and so the whole point 
of His song is that He put 

86
00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:33,000
breath in our lungs and we get 
to give it back to Him. 

87
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:43,080

00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:14,080
today, you're new or newer. 
I'm not going to ask and 

160
00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:17,560
nobody's going to ask anything 
else from you today but this one

161
00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:19,000
simple thing. 
We would love for you to 

162
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:21,760
introduce yourself to us and 
that connection card is the 

163
00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:24,400
easiest and best way to do it. 
And when you fill that out, 

164
00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:25,720
we're not going to do anything 
weird. 

165
00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:27,800
We just want to be able to have 
a way to send you out some 

166
00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:30,400
information this week about real
life, let you know a little bit 

167
00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:33,160
about more about who we are and 
maybe how you can get connected 

168
00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:35,400
here and and live on mission 
with us. 

169
00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:37,160
And that's what we like to say 
here at real life. 

170
00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:41,600
We are a church on a mission and
that mission is this is to see 

171
00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:45,320
people far from God discover 
their real life and their 

172
00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:48,360
purpose in Jesus. 
And what that all that means is 

173
00:18:48,360 --> 00:18:51,120
this it's our tagline. 
But what we know is, is that 

174
00:18:51,120 --> 00:18:53,880
when you live in this world and 
you do the day in, day out 

175
00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:56,960
grind, you get beat up, you get 
beat down, sometimes you get 

176
00:18:56,960 --> 00:18:59,080
thrown away. 
When you walk away from that 

177
00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:01,440
situation, you feel useless. 
You don't feel like you're here 

178
00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:03,800
for any reason. 
But that's a lie from the enemy.

179
00:19:04,120 --> 00:19:07,040
Because the truth is, guys got 
something so big and so 

180
00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:10,080
important that he wants you to 
know that it's a purpose and a 

181
00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:13,240
mission to be on with him. 
And that's what we exist for is 

182
00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:16,160
to get people connected. 
So we will love it if you were 

183
00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:18,880
on mission with us. 
One of the ways that we go on 

184
00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:21,440
mission together as people 
outside of these four walls 

185
00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:23,880
because we say that real life, 
it's on Sunday and this is this 

186
00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:25,960
gathering, but we gather 
throughout the weeks and 

187
00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:28,720
something called live groups and
have you guys enjoyed? 

188
00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:30,520
We're getting kick off the 
second week of live groups. 

189
00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:32,360
Have you guys love live groups 
so far? 

190
00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:36,200
And it's been so cool. 
We are, we just, we kicked off 

191
00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:37,800
our life group. 
So I'm going to, I've got the 

192
00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:39,560
mic, so I'm going to brag on our
Group A little bit. 

193
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:43,920
So we got to hang out and it's 
cool because some of my groups 

194
00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:47,320
have been kind of some regulars,
but this group has been a lot of

195
00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:50,080
new people that have never been 
in the same room outside of 

196
00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:53,360
these four walls together. 
And So what they've got to do is

197
00:19:53,360 --> 00:19:55,920
already within the first week is
they've gotten to know some new 

198
00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:58,640
names, some new faces, learn 
some new stories. 

199
00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:01,640
And that's the goal of every 
life group, is to have a group 

200
00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:04,360
of people that can support each.
Each other and so if you ever 

201
00:20:04,360 --> 00:20:06,440
found your live group there's a 
board out there we would love to

202
00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:09,840
have you it is not too late this
isn't a once you jump in you you

203
00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:13,160
can't get it in or if you have 
it so we have room for you at a 

204
00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:15,920
live group and there's a there's
a group that will meet your 

205
00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:18,960
needs as far as time and space 
and just location. 

206
00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:20,440
So we'd love to have you want it
this week. 

207
00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:23,600
So we are in the middle of our 
series called Elephant in the 

208
00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:25,720
Room and an elephant in the room
is the question that. 

209
00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:28,880
Maybe you think? 
You're the only person thinking 

210
00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:32,080
about but you're scared to ask. 
But everybody sees it. 

211
00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:35,000
And honestly, I guarantee that 
if you've got a question, that's

212
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:36,760
the elephant in the room, 
somebody else is dealing with 

213
00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:39,680
the same issue. 
And I want you guys to know that

214
00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:42,600
the world uses those things 
against you to hold you back, 

215
00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:46,000
give you fear, give you anxiety.
But man, God is in this and He 

216
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:48,800
wants to heal your heart, heal 
your anxiety, give you a 

217
00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:50,560
purpose. 
And we'll do that through the 

218
00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:52,120
Bible. 
And just going back to what 

219
00:20:52,120 --> 00:20:54,480
God's got for you. 
So we're going to continue our 

220
00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:56,320
series all over the room. 
So I want you guys to make 

221
00:20:56,320 --> 00:20:58,280
Pastor Sean feel welcome. 
Just give a big round of 

222
00:20:58,280 --> 00:20:59,600
applause if we continue the 
series. 

223
00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:07,200
That's job, Barry. 
Well, welcome to the 9:00. 

224
00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:09,720
Come on, somebody. 
You guys did it. 

225
00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:12,720
You got up early. 
Now, some of you aren't here 

226
00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:15,440
because you're gonna sleep in 
and go back to the 10:45. 

227
00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:18,200
But I love you guys. 
Give yourselves a hand for being

228
00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:21,200

change our setup time. 

230
00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:24,920
So I was proud of those guys. 
It's going to be awesome, man, 

231
00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:26,440
making room for people who are 
new to our church. 

232
00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:28,280
But I'll celebrate a few things 
this morning. 

233
00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:32,240
One, this last Sunday night, our
youth group, Real life youth 

234
00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:34,480
went out to Sporting KC Check

235
00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:38,280
We had 46 total people come on 
out to the sporting game at

This is like $3000 worth of 
tickets and food. 

238
00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:47,000
Come on somebody fed the Fed 
your changes for Jesus and give 

239
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:48,240

Amen. 

240
00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:53,520
Fantastic crew great way to kick

00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:56,800
school year it's gonna be 
awesome though today we're 

242
00:21:56,800 --> 00:22:00,000
diving into man totally 
different topic as we dive into 

243
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:02,520
our 8th birthday. 
I wasn't anticipating this 

244
00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:06,360
concept and this topic today 
before we jump in over 8th 

245
00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:08,920
birthday bonfire this Tuesday 
night. 

246
00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:12,560
So if you are part of the dream 
team, if you give here, if 

247
00:22:12,560 --> 00:22:14,640
you're interested in serving or 
just start on the team, cuz you 

248
00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:16,520
might just jumped in thought, 
man, it's not for me yet. 

249
00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:17,800
I would encourage you to be 
there. 

250
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:19,440
It's gonna be Tuesday night at 
6:30. 

251
00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:21,280
We're doing a gross. 
Come on somebody. 

252
00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:26,280
It is a it is a deal like we 
have built 90 center blocks 

253
00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:29,920
above ground pig roast. 
We've got Lucas somewhere maybe 

254
00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:32,480
over here. 
This guy, this Victor volunteer 

255
00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:35,720
is going to stay up all night 
Monday night and he's going to 

256
00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:37,520
help all the way through to the 
party. 

257
00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:39,440
So it's going to be awesome. 
And we're going to cast some 

258
00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:42,040
vision at difference maker 
awards, share what's in the next

259
00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:44,280
season, what God's doing really 
the next chapter we're going to 

260
00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:45,560
write, but it's going to be 
exciting. 

261
00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:47,560
So if you can please make it 
out. 

262
00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:49,840
Amen. 
And if you can also please sign 

263
00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:51,560
up because we're trying to make 
sure it's the right amount of 

264
00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:51,960
food. 
Amen. 

265
00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:56,000
So if 200 show up, it's like, 
oh, hey, you know, sorry, not 

266
00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:58,640
enough pig around here, but it's
gonna be awesome. 

267
00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:00,920
So well, today we're diving in 
elf in the room. 

268
00:23:01,040 --> 00:23:03,360
There's probably no bigger 
elephant in the room, maybe 

269
00:23:03,360 --> 00:23:07,040
elephant in the country than 
what we saw this last week. 

270
00:23:07,360 --> 00:23:09,040
And it is just I don't know 
about anybody. 

271
00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:12,040
And we lose some sleep this last
week in base table, late 

272
00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:15,240
scrolling, watching figure out 
what's going on, just seeing 

273
00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:16,560
things. 
Course, I'm talking about 

274
00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:19,560
Charlie Kirk and the situation. 
I'll just say this. 

275
00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:23,240
Today's message is about godly 
response to this OK, I want you 

276
00:23:23,320 --> 00:23:26,800
to think through what Jesus has 
for us, but I don't let you I I 

277
00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:28,640
lost sleep. 
I was scrolling late Wednesday, 

278
00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:30,600
way too late. 
And I was like, Lord, what do 

279
00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:32,720
you what, what's going on? 
What, what's response should we 

280
00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:33,960
have? 
What, what should we doing? 

281
00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:36,320
And it kind of puts all these 
questions right, like how, how 

282
00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:38,240
should politics and faith come 
together? 

283
00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:39,760
Or this question kept kind of 
mind. 

284
00:23:40,120 --> 00:23:43,080
Where's the humanity? 
Where's the humanity? 

285
00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:46,640
Like, like, like look at the 
posts in the comments, like this

286
00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:49,600
is insane. 
Like the hate and the 

287
00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:52,320
demonization and the breakdown 
in this unity. 

288
00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:54,840
Like there's so much going on. 
It's not just out there. 

289
00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:58,720
It's actually in here too. 
Like as Christians, like there's

290
00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:00,160
so much anger. 
And I'm not saying you shouldn't

291
00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:00,960
be angry. 
Amen. 

292
00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:03,600
Because there's some righteous 
in the nation you see in this. 

293
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:06,200
So, so it's bothering me. 
It's like, what is the response 

294
00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:10,280
as a Christian to Charlie Kirk's
assassination to to his death? 

295
00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:15,600
Like how do we respond to the 
division to the hate, to the to 

296
00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:18,040
the politics, to everything 
around the situation? 

297
00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:19,800
What is the response to the 
Christian? 

298
00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:22,440
I think the question that most 
people are asking is not the 

299
00:24:22,440 --> 00:24:25,200
real question. 
Every question asking is what do

300
00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:28,560
you think of Charlie Kirk? 
That has been the question that 

301
00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:30,520
has been the rhetoric. 
It is for the red this morning 

302
00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:32,160
during setup is it was the 
rhetoric. 

303
00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:33,800
What is this? 
What is this and everybody's 

304
00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:35,400
opinions on it. 
But I think a greater question 

305
00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:39,280
is what do people see about 
Jesus and us as respond to 

306
00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:41,480
Charlie Kirk? 
What does Jesus want us to do? 

307
00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:44,360
Are people seeing Christ in us 
through this? 

308
00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:46,640
Amen. 
And so today I'm gonna dive in. 

309
00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:48,200
I'm probably gonna step off some
toes. 

310
00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:50,840
Amen. 
This is not, this is not a 

311
00:24:50,840 --> 00:24:53,200
political message, OK? 
This is not about left or right,

312
00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:55,360
Amen. 
Amen. 

313
00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:57,880
I'm not, I'm not pushing 
politics on the stage. 

314
00:24:58,160 --> 00:24:59,240
OK? 
A matter of fact, today's 

315
00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:01,360
message isn't actually even 
about red, white or blue. 

316
00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:04,000
Today is gonna be thy Kingdom 
come. 

317
00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:06,680
Thy will be done. 
Like I'm gonna take it to a 

318
00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:10,080
whole nother level, like it's 
gonna be greater than what you 

319
00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:11,760
see. 
But I will say this, this is not

320
00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:13,800
political message, but it's also
not politically correct. 

321
00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:17,400
Like, I'm a preacher, dude. 
I'm not a politician, Amen? 

322
00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:21,120
Like I'm gonna say things that 
go against the culture, like 

323
00:25:21,120 --> 00:25:23,040
we're not called as Christians 
that fit in the culture. 

324
00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:25,680
Like I'm not gonna lose my salt 
and my life by trying to 

325
00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:27,720
navigate, not step on people's 
toes, Amen? 

326
00:25:28,320 --> 00:25:30,320
That's just who I am. 
That's what Christ has called us

327
00:25:30,320 --> 00:25:32,320
to do. 
And so if we fit in, that's not 

328
00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:34,440
the goal. 
The goal is to stand out and to 

329
00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:35,960
stand up. 
And so that's what we're gonna 

330
00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:38,160
do today in the gathering. 
So it's gonna be good. 

331
00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:40,120
So you think about this 
situation. 

332
00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:43,480
What is our response? 
My prayer for you guys is that 

333
00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:46,640
we would think about what Jesus 
has for us, that that his 

334
00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:50,000
Kingdom come, that that we'd 
stop demonizing people who think

335
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:52,440
different than us today. 
Today's about unity. 

336
00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:55,520
Today's about forgiveness. 
Today's about Kingdom. 

337
00:25:55,760 --> 00:25:58,560
Today's about words that I 
haven't seen posted quite a bit.

338
00:25:59,040 --> 00:26:02,320
I've been seeing this edge this,
this come to peace with God. 

339
00:26:02,320 --> 00:26:04,600
Like what's God's direction in 
this? 

340
00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:07,240
And I've wrestled this all week.
God, what would you have us to 

341
00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:08,640
do? 
How do we respond as a 

342
00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:11,080
Christian? 
Not just as a nationalist, not 

343
00:26:11,080 --> 00:26:13,600
even as a Christian nationalist,
but as a Christian? 

344
00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:16,000
What you how their sponsor we 
have today. 

345
00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:18,400
And I came down to that Kingdom 
come that Jesus saw on the 

346
00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:19,040
throne. 
Amen. 

347
00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:21,840
So only give you guys 2 truths. 
And I'm going to break it down 

348
00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:24,840
and apply it about the direction
we should go from here. 

349
00:26:25,040 --> 00:26:28,360
And #1 is this that Jesus is 
different type of king who 

350
00:26:28,360 --> 00:26:31,080
reigns and rules on a different 
type of Kingdom? 

351
00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:33,840
You're going to see this. 
And Jesus being crucified is 

352
00:26:33,840 --> 00:26:36,880
found in John chapter 18, this 
Republic. 

353
00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:39,920
He looks at Jesus and he looks 
at the Jews and he says, take 

354
00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:43,320
him being Jesus said, take him 
yourselves and judge him by your

355
00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:45,120
own law. 
He's saying just judge him. 

356
00:26:45,120 --> 00:26:48,280
Like, I don't think about this. 
I'm a Roman, you know, I'm over 

357
00:26:48,280 --> 00:26:49,560
the Romans. 
I have nothing to do about this 

358
00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:52,240
Jewish issue. 
And look at the Jews cried out. 

359
00:26:52,520 --> 00:26:54,480
They said we have no right to 
execute anyone. 

360
00:26:54,520 --> 00:26:58,560
They wanted Jesus dead. 
That was the whole point, he 

361
00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:00,360
said. 
They took the place to fulfill 

362
00:27:00,360 --> 00:27:02,080
that. 
Jesus had said this took place 

363
00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:04,520
to feel what Jesus said said 
about the kind of death he was 

364
00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:05,760
going to die. 
Jesus knew he was going to be 

365
00:27:05,760 --> 00:27:08,440
crucified and this was going to 
be the path he's going to walk 

366
00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:10,360
down. 
The pilot went back inside the 

367
00:27:10,360 --> 00:27:12,240
palace. 
He summoned Jesus and they asked

368
00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:17,000
him, are you the what's it say? 
Are you the king of the Jews 

369
00:27:17,560 --> 00:27:20,720
like you use the king and look 
at Jesus response. 

370
00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:24,120
He says that your own idea Jesus
asked or did others talk you 

371
00:27:24,120 --> 00:27:26,720
talk to you about me because I'm
a Jew. 

372
00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:29,880
What he's saying is like how 
should I know what in the world 

373
00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:32,160
is going on the situation. 
I have no idea Jesus what he's 

374
00:27:32,160 --> 00:27:34,480
talking about said your own 
people and chief priest. 

375
00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:37,720
They hand you over to me. 
What is it that you have done? 

376
00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:42,840
Look at his response. 
Jesus said my yeah, my Kingdom, 

377
00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:47,120
my reign, my rule is what? 
What's it say? 

378
00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:51,720
Yeah, my rule is not this world,
but my rule isn't divided by 

379
00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:54,280
political, geographic boundaries
or elected officials. 

380
00:27:54,440 --> 00:27:56,200
My rule is over a Kingdom. 
Amen. 

381
00:27:57,200 --> 00:28:00,240
Amen. 
And if you're my servants, if it

382
00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:04,920
were like if my Kingdom was 
earthly, my servants would fight

383
00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:09,120
to prevent my arrest by the 
Jewish leaders. 

384
00:28:09,680 --> 00:28:12,600
If you think about that, if all 
you have in this world is an 

385
00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:15,120
earthly Kingdom, I guess you 
would fight. 

386
00:28:16,920 --> 00:28:20,880
Think about it. 
If your hope is in a party, if 

387
00:28:20,880 --> 00:28:24,040
your hope is in, well, we're a 
Republican nation or a Democrat 

388
00:28:24,040 --> 00:28:27,640
nation, and that's all it's in, 
you will fight because that's 

389
00:28:27,640 --> 00:28:31,360
all you have. 
But your hope is in Jesus, that 

390
00:28:31,360 --> 00:28:33,200
his Kingdom is not of this 
earth. 

391
00:28:33,560 --> 00:28:36,000
It's from what? 
Another place? 

392
00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:39,240
Amen. 
It's it's from heaven, it's from

393
00:28:39,240 --> 00:28:41,920
a throne, it's from an outside 
boundary. 

394
00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:43,640
It's spiritual forces and 
powers. 

395
00:28:43,640 --> 00:28:46,400
It's way more spiritual than we 
can even think or imagine. 

396
00:28:46,400 --> 00:28:48,880
And so if you have a hard time 
sleeping, I think some people 

397
00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:50,960
just have been covered in fear 
like this. 

398
00:28:50,960 --> 00:28:52,920
This is the new standard. 
Like it's everywhere. 

399
00:28:52,920 --> 00:28:55,080
These the shootings. 
It's not just, it's not just 

400
00:28:55,080 --> 00:28:57,960
Charlie Kirk, right? 
We had the school in Jeffco. 

401
00:28:58,160 --> 00:29:00,880
We have all these different 
shootings and churches and 

402
00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:03,880
hospitals and it's schools. 
It's like the world's lost its 

403
00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:06,880
mind and and that's probably 
nothing new. 

404
00:29:07,760 --> 00:29:09,640
I mean, you think about all the 
martyrs and people who've been 

405
00:29:09,640 --> 00:29:12,160
killed, even the 1st century, 
even John the Baptist, through 

406
00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:15,240
all the disciples, there's been 
persecution of the things of 

407
00:29:15,240 --> 00:29:17,080
God. 
There's persecution, there's 

408
00:29:17,280 --> 00:29:18,720
uprisings. 
But here's the point. 

409
00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:22,720
No matter what happens in this 
world, Jesus is still king. 

410
00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:25,280
Jesus still sits on the throne. 
Amen. 

411
00:29:25,920 --> 00:29:28,880
There's no shooter, there's no 
agenda, there's no politician, 

412
00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:32,120
there's no rhetoric. 
There's no communist capitalist.

413
00:29:32,280 --> 00:29:35,640
There's no blue, red, green. 
There's nothing that will stop 

414
00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:40,280
Jesus from being on the throne. 
I think some of us lost too much

415
00:29:40,280 --> 00:29:42,480
sleep this week. 
Some of us may have said some 

416
00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:43,920
things on social media we 
shouldn't have said. 

417
00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:45,840
Some of us may have thought some
things you shouldn't have 

418
00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:46,320
thought. 
Amen. 

419
00:29:46,840 --> 00:29:48,360
Now some of it is righteous. 
Amen. 

420
00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:51,560
There's some things that are 
right about it and things we 

421
00:29:51,560 --> 00:29:55,080
feel, but we can't forget that 
Jesus is in the throne, even 

422
00:29:55,080 --> 00:29:57,360
over ideologies and all the 
things we're seeing. 

423
00:29:57,640 --> 00:29:59,320
But I think this week rattled 
our hearts. 

424
00:29:59,320 --> 00:30:01,520
At least it did mine. 
I was like, wow, like the 

425
00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:03,840
world's on fire right now. 
Like if you didn't have the 

426
00:30:03,840 --> 00:30:06,720
opinion, you got opinion and it 
shook to the core. 

427
00:30:06,720 --> 00:30:09,120
It's revealing what our hope is 
in. 

428
00:30:09,680 --> 00:30:12,080
Like is, is there hope in a 
nation or is there hope in the 

429
00:30:12,080 --> 00:30:14,480
one who sets the boundaries of 
the nations? 

430
00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:17,520
Like is there hoping elected 
officials or in the one that 

431
00:30:17,520 --> 00:30:21,160
it's eternal like what passion 
do we have for the gospel? 

432
00:30:21,800 --> 00:30:25,240
Like we were fired up on this 
topic, but where's our passion 

433
00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:26,640
for Christ? 
Is it the one that holds the 

434
00:30:26,640 --> 00:30:29,680
keys to life and death? 
Like was Jesus shocked? 

435
00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:33,720
Like Jesus know what's going to 
happen as he lost his ability to

436
00:30:33,720 --> 00:30:36,760
lead. 
No Jesus ways are higher and 

437
00:30:36,760 --> 00:30:38,280
Jesus in charge of our nation, 
Amen. 

438
00:30:39,120 --> 00:30:41,320
Jesus sets the boundaries. 
Jesus, when you think about 

439
00:30:41,320 --> 00:30:43,880
elections, we we vote, but Jesus
puts who he wants in. 

440
00:30:43,880 --> 00:30:46,000
Amen. 
But whether you agree or 

441
00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:47,760
disagree, Jesus puts him in and 
he rises up. 

442
00:30:47,760 --> 00:30:50,440
Some people as judgment and some
people as leaders. 

443
00:30:50,760 --> 00:30:53,320
It's just how God does things. 
But if you're struggling to 

444
00:30:53,320 --> 00:30:55,560
sleep at night, you gotta 
remember your king reigns. 

445
00:30:55,760 --> 00:30:59,440
Psalms 48 says this. 
It says in peace I lay down and 

446
00:30:59,440 --> 00:31:04,200
sleep for you alone. 
Lord make me dwell in what no 

447
00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:06,640
matter what happens and there's 
been major persecution, 

448
00:31:06,840 --> 00:31:08,800
especially in the Bible. 
If you read anything on first or

449
00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:11,240
second Peter is major 
persecution. 

450
00:31:11,520 --> 00:31:14,480
We're an emperor is literally 
killing Christians. 

451
00:31:14,720 --> 00:31:18,200
The edict, the creed, the law is
to kill Christians and they're 

452
00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:21,960
being they're being crucified 
and that's how Peter would die 

453
00:31:22,400 --> 00:31:25,480
like this isn't anything new. 
Amen To see this kind of 

454
00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:29,560
persecution against anybody but 
we rest in the Lord and so Jesus

455
00:31:29,560 --> 00:31:31,640
rules and reigns a different 
type of Kingdom that our 

456
00:31:31,640 --> 00:31:34,360
response should be different 
than the rest of the world and 

457
00:31:34,360 --> 00:31:35,560
so encourage you the couple 
thoughts. 

458
00:31:35,560 --> 00:31:39,880
One is be angry and sin not be 
angry and sin not. 

459
00:31:40,440 --> 00:31:43,880
It's easy to sin when you're 
angry Amen. 

460
00:31:44,560 --> 00:31:46,720
It's easy to take it too far, 
but there is a righteous 

461
00:31:46,720 --> 00:31:50,400
ignation. 
What we saw on Wednesday was in 

462
00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:54,040
just Amen. 
It was horrific. 

463
00:31:54,360 --> 00:31:56,640
It was uncalled for. 
It was against the decrees, the 

464
00:31:56,640 --> 00:31:59,720
law, the against of God. 
It you should be mad about that,

465
00:31:59,720 --> 00:32:01,880
Amen. 
And if you didn't read post and 

466
00:32:01,880 --> 00:32:04,960
you weren't upset, I don't know 
if you're human, Amen. 

467
00:32:05,760 --> 00:32:09,360
The comments and the things like
there should be some justice in 

468
00:32:09,360 --> 00:32:11,760
your heart and some real 
passion. 

469
00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:14,160
It's revealed. 
But the reality is there's a 

470
00:32:14,160 --> 00:32:16,920
point where that ends. 
And it's found in Ephesians 426.

471
00:32:17,280 --> 00:32:19,400
It says in your anger, do not 
sin. 

472
00:32:19,560 --> 00:32:24,640
It says do not the sun go down 
while you are still angry, bring

473
00:32:24,640 --> 00:32:26,240
the KJV. 
It says don't let the sun go 

474
00:32:26,240 --> 00:32:30,200
down on your your wrath. 
And so there is a, a spiritual 

475
00:32:30,200 --> 00:32:32,240
healthy anger. 
Amen. 

476
00:32:33,240 --> 00:32:37,120
I, I, I, I personally find that 
real awesome because I was 

477
00:32:37,120 --> 00:32:39,520
really mad. 
I couldn't believe it. 

478
00:32:39,520 --> 00:32:41,120
I'm like, this is the, what the 
world's coming to. 

479
00:32:41,360 --> 00:32:43,760
I know it's like to hold a 
microphone, stand on stage, say 

480
00:32:43,760 --> 00:32:44,760
things. 
I'm not him. 

481
00:32:45,480 --> 00:32:47,680
But like, you see the shootings,
you see the stuff I've told my 

482
00:32:47,680 --> 00:32:48,920
team, like, dude, we gotta do 
better. 

483
00:32:49,520 --> 00:32:52,280
You know, this world's so 
divided and there's, there's 

484
00:32:52,280 --> 00:32:55,560
just this righteousness to you. 
But the end of the day, you have

485
00:32:55,560 --> 00:32:58,440
to put to bed your anger before 
you go to bed. 

486
00:32:59,160 --> 00:33:00,960
That's what this verse says. 
Don't let sun go down. 

487
00:33:00,960 --> 00:33:03,320
Don't let don't don't bring your
anger into the next day. 

488
00:33:03,800 --> 00:33:06,000
Put to bed your anger before you
go to bed. 

489
00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:08,920
And what's really unique about 
the scripture, you may not know 

490
00:33:09,120 --> 00:33:12,680
Paul is actually quoting or like
mostly quoting, but referring to

491
00:33:12,960 --> 00:33:15,960
Psalm 4/4. 
This is just read Psalm 4/4. 

492
00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:18,480
It's amazing. 
It says be angry, do not sin. 

493
00:33:19,080 --> 00:33:22,240
Sounds familiar, right? 
Just ponder in your own hearts 

494
00:33:22,240 --> 00:33:27,720
on your beds and be silent. 
Say LA this is what Paul is 

495
00:33:27,720 --> 00:33:31,720
referring to in Ephesians 426. 
We said don't be angry, don't be

496
00:33:31,720 --> 00:33:35,040
angry and sin, but instead don't
let the sun go down your wrath. 

497
00:33:35,200 --> 00:33:38,360
He's referring to this, this, 
this verse where we we go at 

498
00:33:38,520 --> 00:33:41,280
night, we lay in our beds and 
you know those thoughts you have

499
00:33:41,280 --> 00:33:44,120
a night, they keep you up. 
There's thoughts you're upset, 

500
00:33:44,120 --> 00:33:46,160
you're trying to figure it out. 
I'm I'm scrolling. 

501
00:33:46,160 --> 00:33:48,960
You know, you know what in the 
world is going on with this and 

502
00:33:48,960 --> 00:33:51,440
you get to the point. 
You guys say, Lord, what is my 

503
00:33:51,440 --> 00:33:54,400
response? 
Meditate on what God has God, 

504
00:33:54,400 --> 00:33:56,800
I'm frustrated. 
God don't know what to do God, 

505
00:33:56,880 --> 00:33:59,920
how can this happen? 
Why is this happening? 

506
00:33:59,920 --> 00:34:02,640
Look at the division that hey, 
look at this like my church. 

507
00:34:02,640 --> 00:34:04,520
I got people that have somebody 
says something bad, man, like 

508
00:34:04,520 --> 00:34:07,480
lock their head, man, I'm sorry.
I had these conversations. 

509
00:34:07,480 --> 00:34:09,199
I heard somebody laughing knows 
about that, right? 

510
00:34:09,639 --> 00:34:12,159
Like if somebody just push my 
buttons, this is it like I'm 

511
00:34:12,159 --> 00:34:14,679
ready to fight and I'm looking 
at this like God, what's our 

512
00:34:14,679 --> 00:34:16,880
response? 
What would you respond like? 

513
00:34:16,880 --> 00:34:19,920
I started thinking about John 
the Baptist and how Jesus didn't

514
00:34:19,920 --> 00:34:22,480
even do anything. 
Like you knew it was going to 

515
00:34:22,480 --> 00:34:24,400
happen. 
He's like, Yep, bring your race,

516
00:34:24,639 --> 00:34:27,120
maybe got arrested. 
Jesus didn't go take him out of 

517
00:34:27,120 --> 00:34:28,760
prison. 
John bows to beheaded. 

518
00:34:28,760 --> 00:34:31,560
His head was put on a platter. 
Legit crazy. 

519
00:34:32,040 --> 00:34:34,719
And Jesus kept doing ministry. 
Then I thought about every one 

520
00:34:34,719 --> 00:34:38,360
of the disciples that was 
martyred and what Jesus, where 

521
00:34:38,360 --> 00:34:40,920
was Jesus? 
It was like part of the story he

522
00:34:40,920 --> 00:34:42,719
wrote. 
And that's the point of like, 

523
00:34:42,719 --> 00:34:45,040
right. 
So I'm not like locked off the 

524
00:34:45,040 --> 00:34:46,120
room, like Jesus, you're on the 
throne. 

525
00:34:46,760 --> 00:34:49,719
You know what's going on, Amen. 
And he says his words, forgive 

526
00:34:49,719 --> 00:34:53,600
them for the none of what they 
do like that was Jesus heart for

527
00:34:53,600 --> 00:34:56,239
the lost, Amen. 
That that was what he was 

528
00:34:56,480 --> 00:34:59,360
thinking on the cross. 
And so I started thinking, Lord,

529
00:34:59,360 --> 00:35:00,640
what do you have? 
But you have to get to the point

530
00:35:00,640 --> 00:35:01,960
where you have to listen. 
The Holy Spirit. 

531
00:35:02,320 --> 00:35:03,480
Here's what we're not supposed 
to do. 

532
00:35:03,480 --> 00:35:07,440
It didn't say go to bed, score 
your phone, build yourself full 

533
00:35:07,440 --> 00:35:09,760
an ideology and then fall 
asleep. 

534
00:35:09,760 --> 00:35:14,120
Rule ticked off, wake up, turn 
on the preferred network of 

535
00:35:14,320 --> 00:35:17,480
whatever politically bought 
program you like and then get 

536
00:35:17,480 --> 00:35:19,680
fired up. 
Amen. 

537
00:35:20,600 --> 00:35:22,920
This is what it doesn't say. 
There's actually some amazing 

538
00:35:22,920 --> 00:35:25,320
videos that that people have put
out. 

539
00:35:25,320 --> 00:35:27,200
There's a man who actually knew 
the shooter and he said, you 

540
00:35:27,200 --> 00:35:30,640
know, this, this social media 
that that we're filling 

541
00:35:30,640 --> 00:35:33,880
ourselves with so much is 
indoctrinating my culture and 

542
00:35:33,880 --> 00:35:36,280
it's killing us. 
I thought, man, that's a good 

543
00:35:36,280 --> 00:35:38,920
perspective. 
Like where have we made room for

544
00:35:38,920 --> 00:35:42,440
God? 
Have we been still and know that

545
00:35:42,440 --> 00:35:45,480
he is Lord? 
Have we meditated and wrestled 

546
00:35:45,480 --> 00:35:48,000
with the Lord and came to the 
point of silence and the Holy 

547
00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:51,120
Spirit has spoken to us? 
Are we acting out of a Holy 

548
00:35:51,120 --> 00:35:54,400
Spirit action? 
Are we presenting what the God 

549
00:35:54,400 --> 00:35:56,880
would have in this moment? 
Because what we say and what we 

550
00:35:56,880 --> 00:35:59,800
post says a lot about who we are
because we're getting squeezed 

551
00:35:59,800 --> 00:36:01,880
right now. 
There's some pressure on us 

552
00:36:01,880 --> 00:36:04,520
right now, right? 
And what what's coming out of us

553
00:36:04,920 --> 00:36:06,880
is, is this, is this the 
wholeness of God? 

554
00:36:07,120 --> 00:36:09,680
Is this the righteous of God? 
Is this the justice of God? 

555
00:36:09,920 --> 00:36:12,640
Is this from God? 
Or is this just me? 

556
00:36:13,200 --> 00:36:16,360
It's just now is my time to 
speak up and maybe say things 

557
00:36:16,360 --> 00:36:20,520
that don't look like Jesus. 
And so we can take it a little 

558
00:36:20,520 --> 00:36:22,680
too far. 
It says you're angry. 

559
00:36:22,880 --> 00:36:26,200
If you turn it into hate, it 
goes too far. 

560
00:36:26,200 --> 00:36:29,040
And this is what it says in 
first John 315. 

561
00:36:30,160 --> 00:36:33,200
You cross the line says anyone 
who hates a brother or sister is

562
00:36:33,200 --> 00:36:36,200
a what? 
And you know, no murder has 

563
00:36:36,200 --> 00:36:40,560
eternal life residing in him. 
Like what makes us different 

564
00:36:41,400 --> 00:36:44,520
then all the people then the 
shooter, even in the, in the 

565
00:36:44,520 --> 00:36:46,520
people that we hate. 
If we have hate in our life, 

566
00:36:47,280 --> 00:36:48,560
like what makes us any 
different? 

567
00:36:49,360 --> 00:36:53,080
Like what makes us stand out? 
Like what, what, what shapes us.

568
00:36:53,080 --> 00:36:56,000
And the Bible says even if we 
ideologically didn't like 

569
00:36:56,000 --> 00:36:58,280
somebody, we hate somebody, 
we're already committed murder. 

570
00:36:58,680 --> 00:37:01,480
We all know, like the all the 
politics and the things in front

571
00:37:01,480 --> 00:37:03,480
of us that there's a lot of 
people being murdered in 

572
00:37:03,480 --> 00:37:05,880
people's hearts. 
Amen. 

573
00:37:06,760 --> 00:37:09,560
There's a lot of hate. 
That was the scariest thing of 

574
00:37:09,560 --> 00:37:12,760
this whole situation is the 
amount of hate that's behind all

575
00:37:12,760 --> 00:37:14,920
this. 
It's incredible, but doesn't 

576
00:37:14,920 --> 00:37:16,800
come from Christ, that comes 
from the world. 

577
00:37:17,200 --> 00:37:20,360
There's no foundation. 
And so as a Christian, how do we

578
00:37:20,360 --> 00:37:22,600
respond? 
Like, how are we to really 

579
00:37:22,600 --> 00:37:24,080
respond? 
Like what should we see? 

580
00:37:24,240 --> 00:37:26,480
And this is, I didn't see a lot 
of this. 

581
00:37:26,920 --> 00:37:29,680
I didn't see this, but our 
response, we want to do 

582
00:37:29,680 --> 00:37:31,200
something should be prayer and 
fasting. 

583
00:37:32,120 --> 00:37:33,240
That should be a response. 
Amen. 

584
00:37:34,480 --> 00:37:35,960
Didn't really get too excited on
that one. 

585
00:37:37,400 --> 00:37:40,360
Prayer and fasting that I don't 
see as the natural inclination. 

586
00:37:40,360 --> 00:37:41,760
You know, we're like taking up 
arms. 

587
00:37:42,120 --> 00:37:45,040
It's like where's the prayer and
the fasting and there's someone 

588
00:37:45,040 --> 00:37:47,360
to ask you a prayer and fast for
you guys should do this this 

589
00:37:47,360 --> 00:37:50,680
week. 
Prayed fast for forgiveness, for

590
00:37:50,680 --> 00:37:53,400
forgiveness because there's 
words been spoken. 

591
00:37:53,400 --> 00:37:55,240
There's things that happen, the 
things you saw. 

592
00:37:55,720 --> 00:37:58,200
There's people you talk to this 
week that ticked you off. 

593
00:37:58,680 --> 00:38:01,280
There's people I had 
conversations with from from 

594
00:38:01,280 --> 00:38:03,280
churches. 
People used to go our church 

595
00:38:03,400 --> 00:38:05,800
people different churches and 
they're not going back to church

596
00:38:05,800 --> 00:38:08,600
this Sunday because of posts of 
people. 

597
00:38:09,200 --> 00:38:16,200
Not everybody goes to church as 
a Republican just saying it and 

598
00:38:16,200 --> 00:38:18,800
I'm I don't need to have just a 
Republican church. 

599
00:38:18,800 --> 00:38:21,440
Amen. 
Like my goal this season not to 

600
00:38:21,440 --> 00:38:25,520
filter the church and say only 
Republicans say that's but 

601
00:38:25,520 --> 00:38:28,200
that's what's being put out now.
I think some pastors maybe 

602
00:38:28,200 --> 00:38:31,440
across some lines with some of 
their rhetoric, but pray for 

603
00:38:31,440 --> 00:38:32,320
forgiveness. 
You're gonna be allowed 

604
00:38:32,320 --> 00:38:34,000
forgiveness. 
Lord, forgive us for what we've 

605
00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:38,000
seen the last four days even in 
the church, like there's 

606
00:38:38,000 --> 00:38:39,760
mistakes have been made. 
Some people might take back some

607
00:38:39,760 --> 00:38:42,760
words being spoken and look what
Jesus said on the cross in Luke 

608
00:38:42,760 --> 00:38:47,360
2334. 
Jesus said, Father, forgive them

609
00:38:48,160 --> 00:38:52,840
for they do not know what they 
are doing. 

610
00:38:53,400 --> 00:38:55,440
This isn't Jesus being 
crucified. 

611
00:38:55,960 --> 00:38:57,640
This is where he's hanging on 
the cross. 

612
00:38:57,960 --> 00:39:00,480
The Roman soldiers are crucified
Him. 

613
00:39:00,480 --> 00:39:04,200
He's nailed to the cross and 
this is the heart of God as he's

614
00:39:04,200 --> 00:39:08,880
being rejected by humanity and 
this prayer to forgive them 

615
00:39:09,000 --> 00:39:10,960
isn't just a prayer about the 
Roman centurion. 

616
00:39:11,560 --> 00:39:16,920
He's praying for all humanity. 
Forgive them in their ignorance.

617
00:39:17,200 --> 00:39:20,880
Do not hold this sin of crucify 
me against them because we all 

618
00:39:20,880 --> 00:39:22,720
know God could wipe everybody 
out. 

619
00:39:22,720 --> 00:39:26,120
Amen. 
In his heart is we I love them. 

620
00:39:26,240 --> 00:39:27,200
They don't. 
They're doing in their 

621
00:39:27,360 --> 00:39:30,760
ignorance, in their in their 
lack of truth and knowledge of 

622
00:39:30,760 --> 00:39:33,920
me. 
Forgive them in the face of 

623
00:39:33,920 --> 00:39:38,000
cruelty and injustice, the heart
of God is peeled back and 

624
00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:40,920
revealed with grace and mercy. 
And listen to this. 

625
00:39:40,920 --> 00:39:42,800
It wasn't based on somebody 
deserving it. 

626
00:39:44,000 --> 00:39:47,000
Amen. 
We none of us deserved it. 

627
00:39:47,600 --> 00:39:51,720
And Jesus, it just revealed as 
mercy and his grace and his love

628
00:39:51,720 --> 00:39:54,320
for humanity. 
And so I'm waiting for the post 

629
00:39:54,320 --> 00:39:58,880
that says, Lord, forgive us, 
Lord forgive them, Amen. 

630
00:39:58,880 --> 00:40:02,040
I'm waiting for that post. 
I'm moving to the post that 

631
00:40:02,040 --> 00:40:06,080
brings us back-to-back to union 
under Christ, not not under like

632
00:40:06,080 --> 00:40:09,040
this is my agenda and now I'm 
going to stick to my agenda. 

633
00:40:09,480 --> 00:40:11,280
And these aren't just nice words
that are like putting stained 

634
00:40:11,280 --> 00:40:12,560
glass like you make, oh, that's 
nice. 

635
00:40:13,040 --> 00:40:15,080
Jesus did that. 
Like that's a high standard. 

636
00:40:15,480 --> 00:40:19,760
The first martyr in the Bible 
actually quoted this, the 

637
00:40:19,760 --> 00:40:23,160
stoning of Steven, Acts 759. 
It says while they were stoning 

638
00:40:23,160 --> 00:40:27,520
him, somebody say wow, wow, they
were stoning him. 

639
00:40:28,800 --> 00:40:32,520
Have you ever read this and 
thought about while he was being

640
00:40:32,520 --> 00:40:35,400
stoned? 
Like think about that. 

641
00:40:36,040 --> 00:40:40,320
Like you're legit. 
People are throwing stones and 

642
00:40:40,320 --> 00:40:45,600
your body is being broken, your 
bones are snapping, there's 

643
00:40:45,600 --> 00:40:48,960
blood. 
Your life is Emily over. 

644
00:40:49,240 --> 00:40:51,360
Like the next move is your last 
move. 

645
00:40:51,640 --> 00:40:55,440
And while this is happening in 
like the depravity of humanity 

646
00:40:55,720 --> 00:41:00,280
and the misunderstanding of God 
as a righteous man, Stephen was 

647
00:41:00,400 --> 00:41:02,880
he's praise. 
He says, Lord, Jesus received my

648
00:41:02,880 --> 00:41:05,400
spirit. 
He fell to his knees and his 

649
00:41:05,400 --> 00:41:10,320
crying last breath cried out, 
Lord, do not hold this sin 

650
00:41:11,600 --> 00:41:15,560
against them. 
And when he said that he fell 

651
00:41:15,560 --> 00:41:19,400
asleep, he died. 
That's a whole nother level. 

652
00:41:19,400 --> 00:41:22,160
Amen. 
There's a whole nother level 

653
00:41:22,960 --> 00:41:25,160
like that, that that was the New
Testament standard of 

654
00:41:25,160 --> 00:41:27,440
forgiveness. 
It wasn't like, oh, Jesus, stay 

655
00:41:27,440 --> 00:41:29,320
on the cross and that's good for
him. 

656
00:41:29,320 --> 00:41:32,840
But now, man, this is my time. 
I do I want it was Lord forgive 

657
00:41:32,840 --> 00:41:35,880
them to know what they do. 
Do not hold the sin against them

658
00:41:36,760 --> 00:41:39,000
and die. 
Like, wow. 

659
00:41:40,240 --> 00:41:41,480
It goes back to how do we treat 
people? 

660
00:41:41,480 --> 00:41:44,320
Amen. 
How do we love somebody who 

661
00:41:44,320 --> 00:41:47,480
believes different than us and 
maybe even hates us? 

662
00:41:48,960 --> 00:41:50,520
Like how do we love somebody 
like that? 

663
00:41:51,480 --> 00:41:53,440
This person, Steven, loved him 
to death. 

664
00:41:54,360 --> 00:41:57,080
Jesus loved them to death. 
That was his first response to 

665
00:41:57,080 --> 00:42:00,080
injustice was forgiveness. 
So pray and fast for 

666
00:42:00,080 --> 00:42:00,920
forgiveness. 
Amen. 

667
00:42:02,240 --> 00:42:04,640
Amen. 
That'd be countercultural. 

668
00:42:05,680 --> 00:42:07,440
That'd be countercultural. 
I love you. 

669
00:42:07,440 --> 00:42:09,000
I've been praying for you. 
I forgive you. 

670
00:42:09,040 --> 00:42:12,800
I don't agree with you. 
I think it's dumb, but I love 

671
00:42:12,800 --> 00:42:13,360
you. 
Amen. 

672
00:42:14,120 --> 00:42:18,080
I've been praying for unity. 
I'm not harboring aggression or 

673
00:42:18,080 --> 00:42:20,520
hates right now. 
There's a lot of that, right? 

674
00:42:21,280 --> 00:42:24,040
I mean, I feel like you could 
put some red and blue shirts on.

675
00:42:24,040 --> 00:42:29,280
You might have yourself a war, 
praying fast for not just 

676
00:42:29,280 --> 00:42:32,080
forgiveness, but for unity. 
Pray for unity. 

677
00:42:33,000 --> 00:42:35,000
You know, the question has been 
asked, what do you, what do you 

678
00:42:35,000 --> 00:42:37,000
think of Charlie Kirk? 
You know what, what do you stand

679
00:42:37,000 --> 00:42:38,680
for? 
And obviously he, he preached 

680
00:42:38,680 --> 00:42:42,320
Jesus, he loved Jesus. 
He said things that were counter

681
00:42:42,320 --> 00:42:44,760
cultural about Jesus, like not 
about Jesus, but to the culture 

682
00:42:44,760 --> 00:42:47,120
about Jesus. 
That dude knew some Bible, Amen.

683
00:42:47,760 --> 00:42:50,680
I'm not saying he knew the Bible
all the way through that. 

684
00:42:50,680 --> 00:42:52,920
I do do some Bible. 
And he stepped into the fray. 

685
00:42:52,920 --> 00:42:55,560
He stepped into the places that 
most people are going to step 

686
00:42:55,560 --> 00:42:57,400
into. 
And whether you agree with this 

687
00:42:57,400 --> 00:43:00,800
politic or you agree with all 
the different pieces, does it 

688
00:43:00,800 --> 00:43:02,760
really matter? 
Because the New Testament, when 

689
00:43:02,760 --> 00:43:04,600
Paul said, hey, something 
preached name of Jesus, Thank 

690
00:43:04,600 --> 00:43:07,520
God if something mentioned name 
of Jesus, it'll matter if 

691
00:43:07,520 --> 00:43:10,040
they're using it wrong. 
Paul said, thank you, Jesus. 

692
00:43:10,040 --> 00:43:12,920
He said name of Jesus, Amen. 
And so I see somebody that's 

693
00:43:12,920 --> 00:43:16,440
standing up for truth that 
that's speaking what's in his 

694
00:43:16,440 --> 00:43:18,040
heart, his mind, and anybody can
do that. 

695
00:43:18,040 --> 00:43:19,280
You have the freedom to do that 
in this country. 

696
00:43:19,280 --> 00:43:21,000
Amen. 
We all have the freedom to 

697
00:43:21,000 --> 00:43:23,120
speak. 
We want to speak, but but to but

698
00:43:23,120 --> 00:43:25,280
to think what what should be 
unified around? 

699
00:43:25,560 --> 00:43:27,520
Like did it matter his political
position? 

700
00:43:28,040 --> 00:43:30,800
Like does it matter if you want 
to martyr him or not? 

701
00:43:31,840 --> 00:43:33,960
Does it really matter? 
Like there's a give you a war on

702
00:43:33,960 --> 00:43:37,040
that doesn't matter that he was 
pro Trump and and and pushed 

703
00:43:37,040 --> 00:43:39,280
through the agenda and stood for
these kind of politics. 

704
00:43:39,280 --> 00:43:42,200
Does it matter? 
Like listen to this. 

705
00:43:42,240 --> 00:43:45,120
Unity is greater than 
uniformity. 

706
00:43:46,320 --> 00:43:48,960
Unity is greater than 
uniformity. 

707
00:43:49,680 --> 00:43:52,360
Like, where did we get the place
in our country and as Christians

708
00:43:52,640 --> 00:43:55,920
that we can't disagree on lesser
issues? 

709
00:43:57,400 --> 00:43:58,760
Where, where, where do we get 
that point? 

710
00:43:58,920 --> 00:44:01,720
But we have to hate somebody 
because they think different 

711
00:44:01,720 --> 00:44:04,600
than us. 
Like, that's not an entire right

712
00:44:04,600 --> 00:44:06,200
of this country. 
They all think the same way, 

713
00:44:06,200 --> 00:44:08,880
man. 
But where do you as Christians, 

714
00:44:08,880 --> 00:44:13,160
like, is our faith so small, 
maybe so shallow that every must

715
00:44:13,160 --> 00:44:15,760
agree with us so we have 
personal validation? 

716
00:44:16,440 --> 00:44:18,720
Do we really need people to 
agree across the aisles? 

717
00:44:19,720 --> 00:44:22,760
No, no, we don't. 
Or our feelings so important 

718
00:44:22,760 --> 00:44:24,160
that no one can disagree with 
them. 

719
00:44:24,560 --> 00:44:27,160
If you don't disagree with me, 
we're no longer want you're 

720
00:44:27,160 --> 00:44:30,960
canceled, right. 
I mean, I just I don't get it. 

721
00:44:30,960 --> 00:44:32,960
Like I've talked to some people 
this week. 

722
00:44:33,960 --> 00:44:37,240
I unfollowed my first person, 
right? 

723
00:44:37,920 --> 00:44:42,280
Never unfollowed. 
Somebody had asked my spouse had

724
00:44:42,280 --> 00:44:45,520
that conversation. 
I gotta get with this ideology. 

725
00:44:45,520 --> 00:44:47,960
I can't be these people. 
Can I just tell you those are 

726
00:44:47,960 --> 00:44:49,240
the people who are trying to 
reach. 

727
00:44:50,960 --> 00:44:54,040
Amen. 
And so if why would you cancel 

728
00:44:54,040 --> 00:44:57,240
the mission? 
Because that's what's happening.

729
00:44:57,680 --> 00:44:59,920
Look, we don't agree on 
nationalistic level. 

730
00:45:00,080 --> 00:45:03,360
And so I'm no longer pro you. 
I'm cancelling. 

731
00:45:03,360 --> 00:45:05,640
I don't hear anymore. 
And as a pastor, I have a 

732
00:45:05,640 --> 00:45:07,400
problem with that. 
I've been told by people, you 

733
00:45:07,400 --> 00:45:09,920
better cancel me because I'm 
gonna light you up. 

734
00:45:10,520 --> 00:45:13,520
And I'm like, hey, listen, dude,
I don't run for my problems. 

735
00:45:15,160 --> 00:45:18,400
I'm a big boy like you don't 
keep your friends close your 

736
00:45:18,400 --> 00:45:22,360
image closer. 
Come on, somebody right, like I 

737
00:45:22,360 --> 00:45:23,920
got to know what the other 
side's thinking a little bit. 

738
00:45:23,920 --> 00:45:26,280
You know, like I'm not I'm not a
small minded. 

739
00:45:26,760 --> 00:45:29,040
Like I'm not going to push you 
away as much as you maybe hate 

740
00:45:29,040 --> 00:45:31,080
what I say, I'm not going to 
hate you back. 

741
00:45:31,880 --> 00:45:34,720
Amen. 
And there's just this propaganda

742
00:45:34,720 --> 00:45:40,200
like get rid of these people, 
hate these people, the ideology 

743
00:45:40,200 --> 00:45:42,320
to you'd even get to the point 
of wanting to kill these people.

744
00:45:42,320 --> 00:45:44,720
Like this is the problem. 
The problem. 

745
00:45:44,720 --> 00:45:51,160
The Bible is the world, the 
flesh and the sin that that's 

746
00:45:51,200 --> 00:45:53,640
that's that's the enemy. 
Say themself, Amen. 

747
00:45:54,440 --> 00:45:57,880
And then we demonize people that
look different than us and think

748
00:45:57,880 --> 00:45:59,280
different than us. 
And I'm not saying they're right

749
00:45:59,280 --> 00:46:02,640
on the positions, Amen, But I'm 
saying is we love them in 

750
00:46:02,640 --> 00:46:05,440
Christ. 
Jesus didn't ask us to be 

751
00:46:05,440 --> 00:46:06,800
uniformed. 
He asked for unity about 

752
00:46:06,800 --> 00:46:08,400
uniformity. 
There's no one to bobble. 

753
00:46:08,400 --> 00:46:11,600
You see Jesus have a political 
post, a political comment, his 

754
00:46:11,600 --> 00:46:14,960
little comment like this pay 
what Caesar Caesar's do. 

755
00:46:15,520 --> 00:46:17,120
That means be subject to the 
government you live in. 

756
00:46:17,880 --> 00:46:20,800
That's what he says that in 
Romans that we be subject to the

757
00:46:20,800 --> 00:46:22,880
leaders that puts in place 
because who put the leader in 

758
00:46:22,880 --> 00:46:24,880
place? 
God did. 

759
00:46:26,000 --> 00:46:27,360
If you want a different to be 
different. 

760
00:46:27,880 --> 00:46:32,600
And so we're subject and in 
humility we obey, we follow, but

761
00:46:32,600 --> 00:46:37,640
we follow Christ, Amen. 
That was, there was no other 

762
00:46:37,640 --> 00:46:40,400
spot where he said, OK, well, it
doesn't look this way then take 

763
00:46:40,400 --> 00:46:42,160
up arms. 
Jesus wasn't a political 

764
00:46:42,160 --> 00:46:45,400
revolutionary, Amen. 
He didn't come in and rescue any

765
00:46:45,400 --> 00:46:47,280
of that stuff. 
He didn't have any political 

766
00:46:47,440 --> 00:46:50,800
agenda because he wasn't from 
this politic use from earth or 

767
00:46:50,800 --> 00:46:52,760
from heaven. 
I mean, he had a different 

768
00:46:52,760 --> 00:46:55,080
economy. 
He had a different politic 

769
00:46:55,080 --> 00:46:57,080
completely. 
Jesus was political because he 

770
00:46:57,080 --> 00:47:00,000
had a Kingdom. 
But now what he on earth, Amen. 

771
00:47:00,800 --> 00:47:04,400
You know, Jesus nowhere asked us
to vote the same that you're 

772
00:47:04,400 --> 00:47:06,000
entitled, right? 
As an American, you should use 

773
00:47:06,000 --> 00:47:11,680
it every time. 
Midterm elections, no aim ends 

774
00:47:11,680 --> 00:47:14,320
on that one. 
All three of you that went to 

775
00:47:14,320 --> 00:47:18,160
the polls, right? 
You get all matters right. 

776
00:47:18,960 --> 00:47:20,440
Like be passionate about the 
politics. 

777
00:47:20,440 --> 00:47:22,680
But we don't die on the hill of 
the Capitol Hill. 

778
00:47:22,880 --> 00:47:26,160
We die on the hill of Calvary. 
It's a different level. 

779
00:47:26,440 --> 00:47:30,200
Jesus didn't ask us. 
We uniformed around of votes and

780
00:47:30,520 --> 00:47:34,800
ideologies and political parties
and persons and policies. 

781
00:47:34,880 --> 00:47:38,640
He asked to be unified around 
Christ, something greater. 

782
00:47:38,640 --> 00:47:40,560
Amen. 
And John 17. 

783
00:47:40,560 --> 00:47:44,280
This we prayed for. 
This is as he's anticipating his

784
00:47:44,280 --> 00:47:47,040
death. 
It's my prayer is that not for 

785
00:47:47,040 --> 00:47:50,000
them alone somebody's disciples 
who wasn't know him in that 

786
00:47:50,120 --> 00:47:54,120
time, but they also for those 
who will believe that's us in 

787
00:47:54,120 --> 00:47:56,040
the future. 
So Jesus praying for us. 

788
00:47:56,440 --> 00:47:58,000
They'll believe in me through 
their message. 

789
00:47:58,000 --> 00:48:03,400
Verse 21 it says that all of 
them may be what maybe one they 

790
00:48:03,400 --> 00:48:07,080
were unified together in Christ 
like OK, you may have different 

791
00:48:07,080 --> 00:48:08,520
opinions. 
Hey, you have the right to be 

792
00:48:08,520 --> 00:48:11,200
wrong. 
Amen. 

793
00:48:12,080 --> 00:48:14,680
You can, but we have different 
opinions, but we're unified 

794
00:48:14,680 --> 00:48:18,040
under Christ. 
There's something greater than 

795
00:48:18,040 --> 00:48:20,400
what we see in front of us. 
Even this land. 

796
00:48:21,160 --> 00:48:24,440
It says Father, just as we are, 
you are in me and I'm in you. 

797
00:48:24,440 --> 00:48:27,760
That's a deep relationship. 
May this also be in us so that 

798
00:48:27,760 --> 00:48:30,840
the world is the purpose may 
believe that you have sent me. 

799
00:48:31,480 --> 00:48:33,160
They'll be so unified around 
Christ. 

800
00:48:33,280 --> 00:48:36,240
We love each other. 
Even those are differences that 

801
00:48:36,240 --> 00:48:39,120
they would see Christ in US. 
Well, I can't believe you. 

802
00:48:39,320 --> 00:48:43,000
You let that person, your 
church, I can't believe you care

803
00:48:43,000 --> 00:48:44,360
about that person. 
I can believe you're gave that 

804
00:48:44,360 --> 00:48:45,160
person. 
I can't believe you. 

805
00:48:45,280 --> 00:48:48,000
You, you united together. 
Why do something greater? 

806
00:48:48,600 --> 00:48:51,760
There's a greater purpose. 
I've given them the glory that 

807
00:48:51,760 --> 00:48:55,440
they gave me, that they may be 
one as what's it say? 

808
00:48:56,840 --> 00:48:59,800
We are one. 
So, so, so we're united under 

809
00:48:59,800 --> 00:49:03,200
Christ at the same level that 
Jesus is united to this Father. 

810
00:49:04,080 --> 00:49:07,720
That's a high calling, Amen. 
There's so much division. 

811
00:49:07,720 --> 00:49:13,200
There's aisles, political aisles
in the church that there's 

812
00:49:13,200 --> 00:49:16,520
unspoken aisles of race in 
churches. 

813
00:49:17,240 --> 00:49:21,360
There's each social economic 
aisles in churches, but we need 

814
00:49:21,360 --> 00:49:25,800
tear down the aisles because 
we're all under Christ, Amen. 

815
00:49:26,280 --> 00:49:28,200
This is this is where he asked 
us to go. 

816
00:49:28,440 --> 00:49:29,760
We're united. 
Just the thing about the 

817
00:49:29,760 --> 00:49:31,560
relationship about intimate the 
Father and Son, where that's 

818
00:49:31,640 --> 00:49:33,640
intimate we should be with each 
other. 

819
00:49:34,320 --> 00:49:37,680
I've given the glory that they 
gave me that they may be one as 

820
00:49:37,680 --> 00:49:41,920
we are one in them and you and 
me, so that they may be brought 

821
00:49:41,920 --> 00:49:44,920
to complete unity. 
Only through submission in 

822
00:49:44,920 --> 00:49:48,960
Christ do we actually mature. 
If we if we stop following 

823
00:49:48,960 --> 00:49:51,280
Christ because we're following 
things, the world, our spiritual

824
00:49:51,280 --> 00:49:55,280
growth dies. 
Verse 23 and I and them and you 

825
00:49:55,280 --> 00:49:58,520
and me said they may be brought 
into complete unity that the 

826
00:49:58,520 --> 00:50:04,160
world may know that you sent me 
and have loved them even as you 

827
00:50:04,160 --> 00:50:12,320
have loved me. 
This came all in baby. 

828
00:50:13,640 --> 00:50:17,080
But there's unity in Christ, 
like the gospel advances through

829
00:50:17,080 --> 00:50:22,680
unity, advances through unity. 
Like if we're not unified under 

830
00:50:22,680 --> 00:50:26,240
Christ, if we'd have forgiveness
under Christ, prayer under 

831
00:50:26,240 --> 00:50:29,920
Christ, love under Christ. 
If we can't love somebody who's 

832
00:50:29,920 --> 00:50:33,120
different than us and welcome 
them in, like, do you know 

833
00:50:33,160 --> 00:50:34,080
Jesus? 
Yeah. 

834
00:50:34,280 --> 00:50:36,160
Well, I, I'd vote this way. 
I think this way. 

835
00:50:36,160 --> 00:50:39,240
OK. 
Like, I disagree personally, but

836
00:50:39,240 --> 00:50:41,600
I love you. 
Amen. 

837
00:50:41,600 --> 00:50:47,120
Can we get past that? 
Like they're human people who 

838
00:50:47,120 --> 00:50:49,400
need Jesus. 
The mission wasn't to have 

839
00:50:50,600 --> 00:50:54,240
country, those full of people 
that I thought just looked like 

840
00:50:54,240 --> 00:50:59,440
Jesus, like just play this out 
is the resolve in this time. 

841
00:51:00,080 --> 00:51:02,680
So you know what more lost 
people come to Christ. 

842
00:51:02,720 --> 00:51:06,000
If we were all thought that we a
way of a Democrat or Republican,

843
00:51:07,720 --> 00:51:15,640
would the mission really move? 
It's crazy like the mission 

844
00:51:15,640 --> 00:51:16,600
hasn't changed. 
Amen. 

845
00:51:18,040 --> 00:51:20,320
But it's like, hey, if this 
happened, it's it's like our our

846
00:51:20,320 --> 00:51:23,760
comfort's being stripped a way. 
Life is being challenged. 

847
00:51:23,760 --> 00:51:26,280
But the end of the day, the 
mission is the mission. 

848
00:51:26,280 --> 00:51:28,480
Amen. 
And very much so. 

849
00:51:28,480 --> 00:51:30,560
I think there's so much hate 
across the table that the church

850
00:51:30,560 --> 00:51:35,640
itself is going to lose. 
It's losing ground, it's losing 

851
00:51:35,640 --> 00:51:39,480
saltiness, it's losing power. 
There's whole denominations that

852
00:51:39,480 --> 00:51:40,880
have unified other things in the
world. 

853
00:51:41,800 --> 00:51:45,160
It wasn't necessarily they were 
unifying around a ticket or a 

854
00:51:45,160 --> 00:51:48,160
party, but they, they, they, 
they unified around lesser 

855
00:51:48,160 --> 00:51:52,000
things like like, let's all get 
along, you know, whether it's 

856
00:51:52,000 --> 00:51:54,080
sexuality or all these different
things. 

857
00:51:54,080 --> 00:51:57,720
And they unified fastest dying 
denomination in the United 

858
00:51:57,720 --> 00:52:01,280
States, the samples of Christ. 
Do you unify around the mission?

859
00:52:02,040 --> 00:52:06,480
Do you unify around the gospel, 
you know, unified around 

860
00:52:06,480 --> 00:52:11,560
idealism and ideology of the 
world like we unify around 

861
00:52:11,560 --> 00:52:13,120
Christ. 
That's what the power is, Amen. 

862
00:52:13,880 --> 00:52:18,600
The power is in the gospel. 
Not not enough being uniformly 

863
00:52:18,600 --> 00:52:22,040
put together like it's in the 
gospel, the union, Christ, the 

864
00:52:22,040 --> 00:52:24,640
power of salvation. 
And so I think about the church 

865
00:52:24,640 --> 00:52:26,800
like it's got to get past 
politics. 

866
00:52:26,800 --> 00:52:28,400
Not to say you don't vote. 
It's not that you don't passion.

867
00:52:28,400 --> 00:52:30,440
It's not to say you get fired up
every now and then. 

868
00:52:30,440 --> 00:52:33,240
It's not to say you don't, you 
don't campaign and think this 

869
00:52:33,240 --> 00:52:37,720
way, but to hate somebody, but 
to post what we posted or what 

870
00:52:37,720 --> 00:52:41,920
they posted, but to live in that
world, We've lost our salt in 

871
00:52:41,920 --> 00:52:43,800
this. 
So division. 

872
00:52:43,800 --> 00:52:47,280
The church undermines the gospel
and what the world needs now, 

873
00:52:47,280 --> 00:52:52,600
which I kind of want to sing a 
song, Come on, somebody. 

874
00:52:54,160 --> 00:52:56,000
I knew somebody would do it. 
I wish I could sing right now. 

875
00:52:56,000 --> 00:53:01,120
It'd be so good. 
But the world needs now is a 

876
00:53:01,160 --> 00:53:04,840
unified church. 
It needs Christians to unify 

877
00:53:05,040 --> 00:53:10,760
around forgiveness, around 
prayer, around outreach, around 

878
00:53:10,760 --> 00:53:13,360
love. 
They're just doing the things we

879
00:53:13,360 --> 00:53:17,840
should do without throwing 
stones, without losing our 

880
00:53:17,840 --> 00:53:21,560
ability to witness. 
I mean, this is so easy to to to

881
00:53:21,560 --> 00:53:25,480
hate or to word vomit or to stay
blatant and put your mind out on

882
00:53:25,480 --> 00:53:27,680
social media and really not help
anybody. 

883
00:53:28,120 --> 00:53:29,480
Just make it clear where you 
stand. 

884
00:53:29,600 --> 00:53:33,480
Hey, if you don't like my post, 
unfollow me. 

885
00:53:35,040 --> 00:53:36,240
That's not the mission of 
Christ. 

886
00:53:37,520 --> 00:53:39,720
There would not be a church if I
said everything I thought. 

887
00:53:44,920 --> 00:53:48,000
I'm just telling you, man. 
Like, no, I don't agree with 

888
00:53:48,000 --> 00:53:51,360
myself sometimes, you know, and 
we get fired up. 

889
00:53:51,360 --> 00:53:53,160
Then we we learn, oh, that was 
so stupid. 

890
00:53:53,160 --> 00:53:57,040
Like I've been played that that 
war was started and bought by 

891
00:53:57,040 --> 00:53:59,640
the same system. 
Like there's way more things 

892
00:53:59,640 --> 00:54:02,160
that are happening. 
So we didn't let politics or 

893
00:54:02,160 --> 00:54:04,840
personalities divide us. 
We rallied under a name. 

894
00:54:04,840 --> 00:54:07,200
His name is Jesus. 
I'll leave with this verse. 

895
00:54:07,200 --> 00:54:08,880
You're like, what? 
What's next for our country? 

896
00:54:08,880 --> 00:54:11,960
Where do we go from here? 
There is a prescription, there 

897
00:54:11,960 --> 00:54:13,760
is a verse. 
There is a truth in the Bible 

898
00:54:14,000 --> 00:54:16,000
that tells us what to do next. 
And it's found in Second 

899
00:54:16,000 --> 00:54:19,760
Chronicles 714. 
It's a famous passage. 

900
00:54:20,400 --> 00:54:26,840
So if my people, God fears who 
called by my name, well, what's 

901
00:54:26,840 --> 00:54:31,000
it say? 
Well, they humble themselves and

902
00:54:31,000 --> 00:54:35,680
pray and seek my face and turn 
from their wicked ways. 

903
00:54:36,200 --> 00:54:38,520
Then you will hear from heaven. 
I'll forgive their sin. 

904
00:54:38,800 --> 00:54:43,000
And will what heal their land? 
You. 

905
00:54:43,000 --> 00:54:45,160
Sometimes you feel helpless, 
like there's nothing I can do 

906
00:54:45,160 --> 00:54:46,760
and this is just country. 
Oh, it's crazy. 

907
00:54:46,760 --> 00:54:48,440
You can humble yourself and 
pray. 

908
00:54:49,760 --> 00:54:52,480
Amen. 
That the power of God is 

909
00:54:52,480 --> 00:54:54,720
released when people hit on 
their knees. 

910
00:54:55,640 --> 00:54:57,120
The power of God's released in 
humility. 

911
00:54:57,640 --> 00:55:00,560
The power of God's released in 
great faith so you can do 

912
00:55:00,560 --> 00:55:02,640
something. 
It doesn't matter if you can't 

913
00:55:02,640 --> 00:55:06,080
leave home or you're not on the 
political spotlight, you make a 

914
00:55:06,080 --> 00:55:08,960
difference, Amen? 
And we could unify as a country,

915
00:55:09,280 --> 00:55:13,000
as people of prayer, as 
Christians and get our needs 

916
00:55:13,000 --> 00:55:15,920
that God forgive us for these 
last four days. 

917
00:55:16,360 --> 00:55:21,600
Forgive the shooter, forgive the
ideology wars and help us. 

918
00:55:22,200 --> 00:55:26,280
We need you. 
We don't need a party, we need 

919
00:55:26,680 --> 00:55:28,720
Jesus. 
Amen. 

920
00:55:29,560 --> 00:55:32,560
Now let's say I'm giving up on a
vote, but we need you. 

921
00:55:32,560 --> 00:55:35,960
Lord, you heal our land. 
You forgive us, and God forgive 

922
00:55:35,960 --> 00:55:41,280
me or I've sinned because 
there's things in my heart, man,

923
00:55:41,280 --> 00:55:44,320
if you knew, look nothing like 
Jesus. 

924
00:55:45,200 --> 00:55:48,040
And so God forgive. 
This is where it starts, Amen. 

925
00:55:49,080 --> 00:55:53,280
Revival starts on your knees, 
starts in place of prayer. 

926
00:55:53,360 --> 00:55:57,040
If you've not prayed yet, if 
you're not forgiven yet, you've 

927
00:55:57,040 --> 00:56:00,280
not humbled yourself yet, you've
not stayed at bed and meditated 

928
00:56:00,280 --> 00:56:02,400
on the things of God and been 
silent, heard from the Holy 

929
00:56:02,400 --> 00:56:07,760
Spirit, Today's the day. 
Today, right now is the day that

930
00:56:07,760 --> 00:56:10,840
we get right with God because 
this is his nation and He can do

931
00:56:10,840 --> 00:56:13,600
what He wants to. 
And I don't like everything I 

932
00:56:13,600 --> 00:56:18,440
see, but we need Jesus, Amen. 
And so, Father, we come before 

933
00:56:18,440 --> 00:56:23,920
you, got to ask that we humble 
ourselves, got to heal our 

934
00:56:23,920 --> 00:56:28,760
nation, got to pray in a room. 
God birth. 

935
00:56:28,920 --> 00:56:33,360
There's division, a country full
of hate, whether we're divided 

936
00:56:33,360 --> 00:56:36,240
by political lines, the 
ideologies and wars and words. 

937
00:56:36,240 --> 00:56:40,920
And it's being exacerbated God, 
that you would do your best work

938
00:56:40,920 --> 00:56:46,640
right now and you would use us 
as Jesus followers to model 

939
00:56:46,640 --> 00:56:49,880
what's like to live in 
persecution, to live in 

940
00:56:49,880 --> 00:56:52,720
division, to be hated or 
divided. 

941
00:56:52,840 --> 00:56:55,200
And they use the voice of unity 
even to those we thought 

942
00:56:55,200 --> 00:56:56,880
wouldn't say things that he said
this week. 

943
00:56:58,040 --> 00:57:01,840
God forgive us what we posted 
for some of us forgive some hate

944
00:57:01,840 --> 00:57:04,360
in our heart. 
God, let's be angry and sin not.

945
00:57:06,560 --> 00:57:08,360
Maybe you're Jesus followed 
today and it's just being real 

946
00:57:08,360 --> 00:57:12,560
for you that God may be speaking
to you that today's day you 

947
00:57:12,560 --> 00:57:15,600
humble yourself, say, Lord, I've
I've thought everything but you 

948
00:57:15,640 --> 00:57:18,280
on this one, but today I'm going
to humble myself. 

949
00:57:18,280 --> 00:57:20,120
God, heal our land. 
That's your cry of your heart 

950
00:57:20,120 --> 00:57:21,720
today. 
We just put your hands out in 

951
00:57:21,720 --> 00:57:23,560
front of you and say, God all 
received from you today. 

952
00:57:23,560 --> 00:57:26,400
God, don't hear from you today. 
God, show me your way. 

953
00:57:26,400 --> 00:57:28,320
I've been fired up, got my 
emotions been high. 

954
00:57:28,320 --> 00:57:31,080
God, teach me to sleep in peace 
because you reign on the throne.

955
00:57:31,400 --> 00:57:33,560
God teach me my economy is 
different than your economy, 

956
00:57:33,720 --> 00:57:37,000
that your kingdoms are from my 
Kingdom, that my politics, 

957
00:57:37,160 --> 00:57:38,960
although I'm passionate about 
it, are not as great as the 

958
00:57:38,960 --> 00:57:42,520
politics of heaven. 
It is a greater thing that 

959
00:57:42,520 --> 00:57:45,400
you're up to then. 
It's the redemption of mankind. 

960
00:57:45,920 --> 00:57:51,000
Help me not lose my saltiness 
because I doubled the wrong hill

961
00:57:51,000 --> 00:57:55,240
this week can help me to love 
people that look unlovable, that

962
00:57:55,240 --> 00:57:58,160
maybe don't even like my 
opinions because you're up to 

963
00:57:58,160 --> 00:58:04,480
something greater. 
God, heal our land today and 

964
00:58:04,480 --> 00:58:09,320
hold myself today. 
Your spirits speak to me again. 

965
00:58:11,560 --> 00:58:15,040
I'll need other voices. 
I don't need other opinions. 

966
00:58:16,000 --> 00:58:18,400
Can I stand on your scripture 
and your truth? 

967
00:58:20,880 --> 00:58:22,880
I'll pray for somebody in this 
house today may recognize this 

968
00:58:22,880 --> 00:58:24,400
gospel may be different than 
you've ever heard. 

969
00:58:25,600 --> 00:58:27,920
There's a there's a God of the 
universe that went to the cross 

970
00:58:27,920 --> 00:58:29,800
and said forgive them for they 
know not what they do. 

971
00:58:30,320 --> 00:58:32,480
And maybe say you recognize 
you're that ignorant person, 

972
00:58:32,520 --> 00:58:34,520
right? 
You're the person you thought 

973
00:58:34,520 --> 00:58:39,160
you had it figured out. 
You had lesser gods, and today 

974
00:58:39,200 --> 00:58:41,160
you recognize that there's a God
in the universe that loves you 

975
00:58:41,200 --> 00:58:45,120
in spite of your wrongdoing. 
And as we were our worst, God's 

976
00:58:45,120 --> 00:58:47,480
best. 
And this grace of God is drawn 

977
00:58:47,480 --> 00:58:48,840
you to himself through his Holy 
Spirit. 

978
00:58:48,840 --> 00:58:51,200
And you recognize today that you
are a Sinner and your Savior, 

979
00:58:52,040 --> 00:58:53,880
that this week shows some things
in your life that you're not 

980
00:58:53,880 --> 00:58:55,280
proud of. 
It's the things in your life 

981
00:58:55,280 --> 00:58:57,040
that you need to get forgiveness
for. 

982
00:58:57,440 --> 00:58:58,880
And today you recognize that 
maybe you need Jesus. 

983
00:58:58,880 --> 00:59:01,160
Today the Bible says you call on
Jesus. 

984
00:59:01,160 --> 00:59:05,800
Doesn't matter what your stance 
is on politics or your past or 

985
00:59:05,800 --> 00:59:09,120
what you did last night. 
It matters you believe that 

986
00:59:09,160 --> 00:59:11,200
Jesus died on a cross for your 
sins and rose again. 

987
00:59:11,640 --> 00:59:14,600
And today if you're ready to 
humble yourself and say, God 

988
00:59:14,600 --> 00:59:16,800
forgive me. 
He will not just heal a nation, 

989
00:59:16,800 --> 00:59:19,880
He will heal you. 
And so if you need Christ today,

990
00:59:19,880 --> 00:59:22,400
let me be looking around. 
I'm not going to make it. 

991
00:59:22,400 --> 00:59:24,160
We're beauty Christ, if you put 
your hand on his place, I need 

992
00:59:24,160 --> 00:59:26,280
Jesus. 
But the power of gospel came 

993
00:59:26,280 --> 00:59:27,400
through this message in my life 
today. 

994
00:59:27,400 --> 00:59:30,800
I need relation to Christ today.
That's you. 

995
00:59:30,800 --> 00:59:32,640
You just pray in his prayer and 
say, Father God, thanks so much 

996
00:59:32,640 --> 00:59:34,600
for loving me. 
God, in the midst of all this 

997
00:59:34,600 --> 00:59:35,800
chaos. 
God, you see me. 

998
00:59:36,320 --> 00:59:40,000
He died for me on that cross. 
You can pray for on that cross 

999
00:59:40,800 --> 00:59:42,480
that I would be forgiven, that 
you wouldn't hold this sin 

1000
00:59:42,480 --> 00:59:44,640
against me, God. 
And so I cry out to you, God, I 

1001
00:59:44,640 --> 00:59:46,760
need you. 
I'll never leave the food of 

1002
00:59:46,760 --> 00:59:51,040
this cross. 
I'm saved, God, because of your 

1003
00:59:51,040 --> 00:59:53,080
work. 
So thank you for your grace, 

1004
00:59:53,080 --> 00:59:54,840
God. 
Thank you for your mercy, God, 

1005
00:59:54,840 --> 00:59:57,640
part of your mission. 
God, thank you for healing me 

1006
00:59:57,640 --> 00:59:59,600
today. 
And I pray that in Jesus name 

1007
00:59:59,600 --> 01:00:02,640
and the church said Amen. 
Give it up for Jesus. 

1008
01:00:02,640 --> 01:00:03,880
Give some glory to God today. 
Amen. 

1009
01:00:07,320 --> 01:00:12,000
And what a just a powerful and 
timely word that that unity, our

1010
01:00:12,000 --> 01:00:16,120
unity is living proof of a 
living God. 

1011
01:00:16,760 --> 01:00:21,040
And he's here and he's moving 
and he's writing new stories 

1012
01:00:21,080 --> 01:00:23,400
every day. 
And some of you are writing that

1013
01:00:23,400 --> 01:00:25,280
new story, that new chapter 
today. 

1014
01:00:25,280 --> 01:00:27,880
And you accepted that prayer or 
that you accepted Jesus and 

1015
01:00:27,880 --> 01:00:30,800
prayed that prayer. 
We are so excited for you as you

1016
01:00:30,800 --> 01:00:33,120
take this first step with Jesus 
this week. 

1017
01:00:33,120 --> 01:00:35,880
We would love to help you. 
We would love to resource you as

1018
01:00:35,880 --> 01:00:37,960
you start this journey. 
You can grab that connection 

1019
01:00:37,960 --> 01:00:40,440
card that's on your seat, fill 
out your information and make 

1020
01:00:40,440 --> 01:00:42,960
sure and check that box though 
that says I committed my life to

1021
01:00:42,960 --> 01:00:44,560
Jesus. 
And you can drop that in the 

1022
01:00:44,560 --> 01:00:46,080
giving buckets here in just a 
few minutes. 

1023
01:00:46,080 --> 01:00:48,000
But by doing that just allows us
to walk along. 

1024
01:00:48,080 --> 01:00:50,640
I do to drop you a free book in 
the mail this week. 

1025
01:00:50,840 --> 01:00:52,680
It's a short read. 
It's called begin, but it really

1026
01:00:52,680 --> 01:00:56,080
will help you as you take this 
first step with Jesus this week.

1027
01:00:56,080 --> 01:00:58,320
Also, if you're in the house and
you prayed that prayer, in the 

1028
01:00:58,320 --> 01:01:00,800
back of the worship center there
is a table with some red bags. 

1029
01:01:01,080 --> 01:01:05,000
Please grab one of those as well
inside the Bible just for you 

1030
01:01:05,000 --> 01:01:07,560
and a list of some other 
resources that we know will help

1031
01:01:07,560 --> 01:01:09,560
you this week. 
And once again, we are so 

1032
01:01:09,800 --> 01:01:12,840
excited for you today. 
And hey, if you are newer with 

1033
01:01:12,840 --> 01:01:15,240
us in the house today, thank you
so much for choosing to spend 

1034
01:01:15,520 --> 01:01:17,360

Can we just give everybody 

1035
01:01:17,360 --> 01:01:18,880
that's new a round of applause 
today? 

1036
01:01:19,520 --> 01:01:22,680
We love that you're here. 
We love that you're spending 

1037
01:01:22,680 --> 01:01:24,040
today with us. 
Thank you so much for being 

1038
01:01:24,040 --> 01:01:25,200
here. 
We'd love to just see you back 

1039
01:01:25,200 --> 01:01:27,560
here next Sunday. 
Also, if you could grab that 

1040
01:01:27,560 --> 01:01:30,200
same card, fill out your 
information and check that box 

1041
01:01:30,200 --> 01:01:32,440
that says first time here. 
You can actually take that to 

1042
01:01:32,440 --> 01:01:35,400
the new here booth as you exit 
the worship center, just to your

1043
01:01:35,400 --> 01:01:37,160
right, there's a booth there. 
You can turn that in. 

1044
01:01:37,400 --> 01:01:39,160
We have a free gift. 
We would love to get to you. 

1045
01:01:39,160 --> 01:01:40,440
Just our way of saying thank 
you. 

1046
01:01:40,720 --> 01:01:42,840
And once again, we would love to
see you next week. 

1047
01:01:43,160 --> 01:01:46,520
And I just want to take a minute
and just celebrate all that God 

1048
01:01:46,840 --> 01:01:49,600
has done and is doing to your 
giving here. 

1049
01:01:49,920 --> 01:01:52,320
So a real life church over the 
past eight years, because of 

1050
01:01:52,320 --> 01:01:54,960
your faithful giving, we've 
spread the gospel. 

1051
01:01:55,680 --> 01:01:59,360
We've seen week after week lives
being transformed and changed. 

1052
01:01:59,360 --> 01:02:02,880
And we get to celebrate that big
next week with baptisms. 

1053
01:02:03,280 --> 01:02:06,160
So far this year, we've had 21 
people get baptized. 

1054
01:02:06,160 --> 01:02:09,160
We had three more people sign up
last week. 

1055
01:02:09,440 --> 01:02:12,640
And don't miss this. 
Every time somebody says yes to 

1056
01:02:12,680 --> 01:02:16,120
Jesus, every time somebody says 
yes to going public with their 

1057
01:02:16,120 --> 01:02:19,320
faith of baptism, it's a picture
of resurrection. 

1058
01:02:19,720 --> 01:02:22,520
It's a picture of freedom. 
It's a picture of of healing. 

1059
01:02:22,840 --> 01:02:25,000
And so if that's you and you're 
ready to take that step, that 

1060
01:02:25,000 --> 01:02:27,360
next step and go public with 
your faith, we would love to 

1061
01:02:27,360 --> 01:02:29,800
celebrate you next week at 
baptisms. 

1062
01:02:29,800 --> 01:02:32,560
You can grab that card, fill it 
out, your information there. 

1063
01:02:32,560 --> 01:02:34,440
You can also just fill it out. 
Even if you have questions, I'd 

1064
01:02:34,440 --> 01:02:35,760
love to reach out and just 
answer those. 

1065
01:02:35,760 --> 01:02:38,320
But you can drop those in the 
giving buckets here in just a 

1066
01:02:38,320 --> 01:02:40,120
few minutes. 
We'd love to celebrate with you.

1067
01:02:40,600 --> 01:02:44,640
But when you give here, you are 
not just giving to a church, but

1068
01:02:44,640 --> 01:02:47,800
you are giving through a church.
You are investing in real 

1069
01:02:47,800 --> 01:02:50,680
people. 
You have real life change, real 

1070
01:02:50,680 --> 01:02:54,080
surrender, real freedom that's 
only found in Jesus. 

1071
01:02:54,080 --> 01:02:56,880
And so I invite you, I encourage
you if you call real life home 

1072
01:02:56,880 --> 01:02:59,080
to take part in that. 
You can check out the screen. 

1073
01:02:59,080 --> 01:03:01,320
You can text to give. 
You can head on over to our

1075
01:03:03,840 --> 01:03:05,720
There's a giving box in the 
back. 

1076
01:03:05,960 --> 01:03:08,840
The buckets are going to pass 
here in just a few minutes as 

1077
01:03:08,840 --> 01:03:10,680

And if you or your family find 

1078
01:03:10,680 --> 01:03:14,240
yourself in immediate need this 
week, food, clothing, shelter, 

1079
01:03:14,640 --> 01:03:16,800
would you please reach into the 
buckets as they pass here in 

1080
01:03:16,800 --> 01:03:18,800
just a minute and grab out any 
loose. 

1081
01:03:19,400 --> 01:03:22,720
We really, truly do want to be a
blessing to you and your family.

1082
01:03:26,240 --> 01:03:29,240
Man, what a good message. 
You get to the end. 

1083
01:03:29,240 --> 01:03:31,840
Of the Bible you go to. 
Revelation And one of the last 

1084
01:03:31,840 --> 01:03:33,880
things you read about is the 
tree of life and the leaves that

1085
01:03:33,880 --> 01:03:36,320
heal the nations. 
And so I think the focus on 

1086
01:03:36,320 --> 01:03:38,480
Jesus and what Pastor Sean said 
was so important. 

1087
01:03:38,480 --> 01:03:40,960
So, man, if you're thankful for 
God and the healing that he 

1088
01:03:40,960 --> 01:03:43,400
brings to our country and our 
people and our church, can we 

1089
01:03:43,400 --> 01:03:46,280
just give it up for God one more
time, man, Amen. 

1090
01:03:47,760 --> 01:03:49,160
Hey. 
Before we got here, just one. 

1091
01:03:49,160 --> 01:03:51,400
Last reminder, man, we are 
getting ready for our 8th 

1092
01:03:51,400 --> 01:03:54,520
birthday party on the 21st. 
So mark that down. 

1093
01:03:54,520 --> 01:03:57,120
And then this Tuesday, we'd love
for you guys to come and hang 

1094
01:03:57,120 --> 01:04:00,040

big with us at this dream team 

1095
01:04:00,040 --> 01:04:01,600
party. 
Whole pig roast. 

1096
01:04:01,600 --> 01:04:03,480
I've never been to one. 
I've been to redneck my whole 

1097
01:04:03,480 --> 01:04:06,120
life, but I've never got to do 
one of these so I'm excited. 

1098
01:04:06,120 --> 01:04:08,280
You're going to have s'mores 
yard games, bonfires. 

1099
01:04:08,520 --> 01:04:10,720
So come hang out with us.

1100
01:04:10,720 --> 01:04:13,520
the dream team, come hang out.

1101

to 8 this Tuesday. 

1102
01:04:18,760 --> 01:04:22,480
So if you guys need prayer for 
any reason, we would love to 

1103
01:04:22,480 --> 01:04:24,360
pray with you. 
Whether it's individuals or as 

1104
01:04:24,360 --> 01:04:26,560
families, either one doesn't 
matter.

or 10:45. 

1107
01:04:31,640 --> 01:04:34,360
And as always, remember, whoever
finds Jesus discovers real life 

1108
01:04:34,640 --> 01:04:40,000
and purpose.
