00:00:02.399 --> 00:00:06.519
<v Speaker 1>Hello everybody, and welcome to Pastor Rick's Daily Hope. This

2
00:00:06.679 --> 00:00:10.279
<v Speaker 1>is the Bible teaching ministry of Rick Warren. Now today

3
00:00:10.320 --> 00:00:13.759
<v Speaker 1>we're continuing into the new year, and we're digging deeper

4
00:00:13.800 --> 00:00:17.920
<v Speaker 1>into one of life's biggest questions, does my life really matter?

5
00:00:18.280 --> 00:00:22.399
<v Speaker 1>In today's message, Rick's going to continue his powerful series

6
00:00:22.760 --> 00:00:25.920
<v Speaker 1>Live Your Calling? What on Earth Am I here for?

7
00:00:26.280 --> 00:00:29.440
<v Speaker 1>In it, you'll discover how living out God's purpose for

8
00:00:29.559 --> 00:00:34.240
<v Speaker 1>your life brings real meaning, direction, and joy no matter

9
00:00:34.359 --> 00:00:37.479
<v Speaker 1>where you're starting from. Let's get straight to Rick for

10
00:00:37.600 --> 00:00:41.799
<v Speaker 1>the final part of a message entitled Called to Be Sent.

11
00:00:42.439 --> 00:00:44.759
<v Speaker 2>Now, when we talk about the peace Plan, we talk

12
00:00:44.799 --> 00:00:49.799
<v Speaker 2>about it in three dimensions, personal piece, local peace, and

13
00:00:49.920 --> 00:00:53.159
<v Speaker 2>global peace, and your life needs to be involved in

14
00:00:53.280 --> 00:00:56.280
<v Speaker 2>all three of these. You need to have a personal

15
00:00:56.280 --> 00:00:59.079
<v Speaker 2>peace plan, a local peace plan, and a global peace plan.

16
00:00:59.359 --> 00:01:02.600
<v Speaker 2>This is what it means to be called to be sent.

17
00:01:03.920 --> 00:01:08.719
<v Speaker 2>My personal peace plan is the ministry my personal mission

18
00:01:08.959 --> 00:01:11.840
<v Speaker 2>to the people in my life, my family, my friends,

19
00:01:12.120 --> 00:01:15.280
<v Speaker 2>my neighbors, and my coworkers. That's my personal peace plan.

20
00:01:15.519 --> 00:01:18.280
<v Speaker 2>How can I be a blessing to them in their lives?

21
00:01:18.519 --> 00:01:21.159
<v Speaker 2>How can I help them come to know God in

22
00:01:21.200 --> 00:01:21.959
<v Speaker 2>a personal way.

23
00:01:22.760 --> 00:01:23.959
<v Speaker 3>That's my personal peace plan.

24
00:01:24.239 --> 00:01:27.040
<v Speaker 2>Local peace is what we do in our small groups,

25
00:01:27.239 --> 00:01:29.599
<v Speaker 2>when we go help the poor, when we go care

26
00:01:29.640 --> 00:01:33.959
<v Speaker 2>for the sick, when we go educate people who are illiterate,

27
00:01:34.159 --> 00:01:36.560
<v Speaker 2>when we teach English as a second language, all of

28
00:01:36.599 --> 00:01:39.359
<v Speaker 2>the hundreds of different ministries we have in this church

29
00:01:39.560 --> 00:01:41.840
<v Speaker 2>to help the hurts and the hang ups and the

30
00:01:41.840 --> 00:01:45.120
<v Speaker 2>habits of other people. And we have hundreds of these ministries.

31
00:01:45.319 --> 00:01:50.760
<v Speaker 2>That's local peace. Global peace is your church's mission to

32
00:01:50.840 --> 00:01:54.760
<v Speaker 2>the whole world. Now, Jesus didn't just say do this.

33
00:01:55.159 --> 00:01:58.480
<v Speaker 2>He actually gave us a model. And when you study

34
00:01:58.519 --> 00:02:02.079
<v Speaker 2>the ministry of Jesus, find that Jesus did five things

35
00:02:02.120 --> 00:02:05.200
<v Speaker 2>with his life, and they are the five same things

36
00:02:05.319 --> 00:02:07.879
<v Speaker 2>that God wants you to do to fulfill this calling.

37
00:02:09.199 --> 00:02:10.199
<v Speaker 3>Now, there are some things that.

38
00:02:10.199 --> 00:02:12.759
<v Speaker 2>Jesus did you can't do, like die on the cross

39
00:02:12.759 --> 00:02:15.039
<v Speaker 2>for the redemption and the sins and forgiveness of the

40
00:02:15.120 --> 00:02:15.719
<v Speaker 2>human race.

41
00:02:16.039 --> 00:02:17.520
<v Speaker 3>I can't do that. You can't do that.

42
00:02:18.159 --> 00:02:20.719
<v Speaker 2>But Jesus said, I've given you an example to follow.

43
00:02:20.879 --> 00:02:24.719
<v Speaker 2>Now go as I have done unto you. And Jesus,

44
00:02:24.719 --> 00:02:28.439
<v Speaker 2>when he was here on earth, did five things. First,

45
00:02:28.680 --> 00:02:31.400
<v Speaker 2>he planted a church. He said, I will build my church.

46
00:02:32.000 --> 00:02:34.000
<v Speaker 2>And there was a special kind of church. It was

47
00:02:34.039 --> 00:02:38.439
<v Speaker 2>a church that promoted reconciliation with God and with other people.

48
00:02:39.360 --> 00:02:41.400
<v Speaker 2>You see, the reason there's so much conflict in the

49
00:02:41.439 --> 00:02:45.400
<v Speaker 2>world is because there's spiritual emptiness in the world. When

50
00:02:45.439 --> 00:02:47.759
<v Speaker 2>people are empty in their hearts, they war not only

51
00:02:47.800 --> 00:02:49.560
<v Speaker 2>with themselves, they war with God and they war with

52
00:02:49.599 --> 00:02:52.759
<v Speaker 2>other people. And so we have conflict between genders, and

53
00:02:52.800 --> 00:02:56.240
<v Speaker 2>we have conflict between economics status, and we have conflict

54
00:02:56.319 --> 00:02:59.360
<v Speaker 2>between nations, and we have conflict between races, and we

55
00:02:59.400 --> 00:03:02.879
<v Speaker 2>have conflict between religions, and we have conflict and marriage.

56
00:03:02.879 --> 00:03:06.840
<v Speaker 2>Why because we don't have peace in our hearts. And

57
00:03:06.879 --> 00:03:09.080
<v Speaker 2>when the Prince of Peace reigns on our hearts, then

58
00:03:09.120 --> 00:03:11.960
<v Speaker 2>it allows us to make reconciliation with God and with others.

59
00:03:13.360 --> 00:03:18.680
<v Speaker 2>And so Jesus planted a church that promoted reconciliation. That's

60
00:03:18.680 --> 00:03:21.039
<v Speaker 2>the first thing he did. Second thing Jesus did is

61
00:03:21.080 --> 00:03:22.680
<v Speaker 2>the equipped servant leaders.

62
00:03:23.120 --> 00:03:23.879
<v Speaker 3>Follow me on this.

63
00:03:24.280 --> 00:03:29.639
<v Speaker 2>Jesus loved everybody, but he fed the five thousand, but

64
00:03:29.719 --> 00:03:34.439
<v Speaker 2>he trained the seventy, but he discipled twelve, and he

65
00:03:34.599 --> 00:03:39.319
<v Speaker 2>mentored three. He equipped servant leaders. And that's part of life.

66
00:03:39.800 --> 00:03:42.960
<v Speaker 2>And the third thing that Jesus did is he assisted

67
00:03:42.960 --> 00:03:46.560
<v Speaker 2>the poor. Jesus in his very first sermony, he says,

68
00:03:46.560 --> 00:03:48.120
<v Speaker 2>the spirit of the Lord has bond me because He's

69
00:03:48.120 --> 00:03:50.360
<v Speaker 2>anointed me to preach good news to the poor. It

70
00:03:50.479 --> 00:03:53.680
<v Speaker 2>was the number one agenda. Does God have favorites?

71
00:03:53.800 --> 00:03:56.039
<v Speaker 3>Yes he does. He loves the poor.

72
00:03:56.400 --> 00:03:58.479
<v Speaker 2>There are over two thousand verses in the Bible about

73
00:03:58.520 --> 00:04:00.000
<v Speaker 2>the poor, and God says, if you help the poor,

74
00:04:00.120 --> 00:04:03.520
<v Speaker 2>or I will help you. He assisted the poor, He

75
00:04:03.599 --> 00:04:06.800
<v Speaker 2>cared for the sick. The Bible tells us that Jesus

76
00:04:06.800 --> 00:04:11.319
<v Speaker 2>went into every village preaching, teaching, and healing. One third

77
00:04:11.319 --> 00:04:15.479
<v Speaker 2>of his ministry was health care. He did preaching, that's

78
00:04:15.800 --> 00:04:19.319
<v Speaker 2>telling the good news. He did teaching, that's education. He

79
00:04:19.360 --> 00:04:22.319
<v Speaker 2>did healing, that's health care. It's not by accident that

80
00:04:22.480 --> 00:04:25.879
<v Speaker 2>in every single nation in the world the first hospital

81
00:04:26.040 --> 00:04:28.879
<v Speaker 2>and the first university.

82
00:04:28.399 --> 00:04:29.600
<v Speaker 3>Were started by Christians.

83
00:04:30.199 --> 00:04:32.920
<v Speaker 2>It's not an accident that was started because we have

84
00:04:33.000 --> 00:04:38.680
<v Speaker 2>a preaching, teaching, healing faith. That the church invented the hospital.

85
00:04:38.680 --> 00:04:42.040
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if you know this. Christians invented the hospital.

86
00:04:42.839 --> 00:04:44.519
<v Speaker 2>That's why there's so many of them. Saint Mary's and

87
00:04:44.560 --> 00:04:48.040
<v Speaker 2>Saint Mark's and all these others because we invent Jesus

88
00:04:48.240 --> 00:04:52.279
<v Speaker 2>was a preaching, teaching, healing ministry. He wasn't just our savior.

89
00:04:52.319 --> 00:04:54.879
<v Speaker 2>He's our teacher and he's our healer. So we believe

90
00:04:54.920 --> 00:04:57.759
<v Speaker 2>in educating the mind, caring for the body.

91
00:04:58.000 --> 00:04:59.000
<v Speaker 3>And saving the soul.

92
00:05:00.319 --> 00:05:03.600
<v Speaker 2>So Jesus preached planet churches, He equipped leaders, he assisted

93
00:05:03.639 --> 00:05:06.439
<v Speaker 2>the poor, cared for the sick. He educated the next generation.

94
00:05:07.560 --> 00:05:09.680
<v Speaker 2>He said, let the little children come to me. They

95
00:05:09.839 --> 00:05:13.040
<v Speaker 2>are the Kingdom of God. If you want to care

96
00:05:13.079 --> 00:05:15.800
<v Speaker 2>about the next generation, you got to care about you

97
00:05:15.800 --> 00:05:17.160
<v Speaker 2>want to care about the King of God, You've got

98
00:05:17.160 --> 00:05:19.759
<v Speaker 2>to care about the next generation. Now here's the amazing thing.

99
00:05:19.920 --> 00:05:23.879
<v Speaker 2>Jesus Peace plan is the antidote to the five biggest

100
00:05:23.879 --> 00:05:28.360
<v Speaker 2>problems on this planet. Go look up the millennial goals

101
00:05:28.399 --> 00:05:31.120
<v Speaker 2>of the United Nations. You know what the millennial goals are.

102
00:05:31.160 --> 00:05:34.920
<v Speaker 2>They all have to do with these five big problems.

103
00:05:34.920 --> 00:05:41.959
<v Speaker 2>Emptiness and conflict, corruption, self centered leadership, poverty, disease, and

104
00:05:42.000 --> 00:05:45.720
<v Speaker 2>a lack of education their literacy. Jesus is the antidote

105
00:05:45.800 --> 00:05:50.040
<v Speaker 2>to the world's greatest problems. So what does God want

106
00:05:50.120 --> 00:05:54.600
<v Speaker 2>you to do? What does God want you to do? Well,

107
00:05:54.600 --> 00:05:56.480
<v Speaker 2>look at this verse up here, on the screen. The

108
00:05:56.560 --> 00:05:59.720
<v Speaker 2>Bible says this in Acts chapter twenty, verse twenty four.

109
00:06:01.720 --> 00:06:07.519
<v Speaker 2>The most important thing you're talking about in my entire life,

110
00:06:07.759 --> 00:06:11.399
<v Speaker 2>the most important thing with my life is that I

111
00:06:11.839 --> 00:06:16.680
<v Speaker 2>complete my mission. God has a mission for your life.

112
00:06:16.720 --> 00:06:18.720
<v Speaker 2>God has a life message he wants to say to

113
00:06:18.759 --> 00:06:21.000
<v Speaker 2>the world to you. And God has a life mission

114
00:06:21.079 --> 00:06:23.680
<v Speaker 2>for your life. The most important thing that I is

115
00:06:23.759 --> 00:06:24.959
<v Speaker 2>my complete my mission.

116
00:06:25.360 --> 00:06:25.879
<v Speaker 3>And what is.

117
00:06:25.839 --> 00:06:28.879
<v Speaker 2>It the work that the Lord Jesus gave me? And

118
00:06:28.920 --> 00:06:33.720
<v Speaker 2>what is it to tell people the good news about

119
00:06:33.759 --> 00:06:34.480
<v Speaker 2>God's grace?

120
00:06:36.360 --> 00:06:39.639
<v Speaker 3>How do I do that? Can you write? Quick? Let

121
00:06:39.720 --> 00:06:41.720
<v Speaker 3>me give you four thanks? Do is it? Wrap it

122
00:06:41.800 --> 00:06:44.800
<v Speaker 3>up with us? Four thanks? Number one? Pray.

123
00:06:46.040 --> 00:06:51.160
<v Speaker 2>I pray that people will say yes to God. I

124
00:06:51.199 --> 00:06:53.759
<v Speaker 2>pray that people will say yes to God and accept

125
00:06:53.800 --> 00:06:58.480
<v Speaker 2>their life mission and their life message. In Matthew chapter nine,

126
00:06:58.560 --> 00:07:02.360
<v Speaker 2>this is what Jesus said when he sent his followers

127
00:07:02.439 --> 00:07:03.519
<v Speaker 2>out on the very.

128
00:07:03.360 --> 00:07:05.879
<v Speaker 3>First peace trip. Here's what he said.

129
00:07:07.639 --> 00:07:11.600
<v Speaker 2>Jesus said, there are so many people to harvest, but

130
00:07:11.759 --> 00:07:16.120
<v Speaker 2>only a few workers to help harvest them. Pray pray

131
00:07:16.439 --> 00:07:19.519
<v Speaker 2>to the Lord who owns the harvest, that he will

132
00:07:19.639 --> 00:07:22.480
<v Speaker 2>send out. There's that phrase, call to be sent. He

133
00:07:22.519 --> 00:07:27.759
<v Speaker 2>will send out more workers to gather his harvest. So

134
00:07:27.959 --> 00:07:31.600
<v Speaker 2>part of your calling in life is to pray that

135
00:07:31.639 --> 00:07:34.839
<v Speaker 2>God will send out people to reach everybody with the

136
00:07:34.879 --> 00:07:39.120
<v Speaker 2>good news of God's love, because everybody deserves to hear

137
00:07:39.480 --> 00:07:42.199
<v Speaker 2>Does anybody deserve the chance to hear the good news

138
00:07:42.240 --> 00:07:44.680
<v Speaker 2>twice when there's some people who haven't heard it once.

139
00:07:46.079 --> 00:07:49.160
<v Speaker 2>So we pray, we pray that God will send people out.

140
00:07:49.639 --> 00:07:51.279
<v Speaker 2>And that's the first thing you do. Second thing you

141
00:07:51.279 --> 00:07:55.399
<v Speaker 2>can do is you can give, give to help others go.

142
00:07:56.439 --> 00:07:58.360
<v Speaker 2>Maybe you're in a stage of life you can't go

143
00:07:58.439 --> 00:08:00.600
<v Speaker 2>right now, but you can give to help others people go.

144
00:08:01.319 --> 00:08:04.480
<v Speaker 2>Maybe you're at home with young little ones preschoolers and

145
00:08:04.560 --> 00:08:08.240
<v Speaker 2>you couldn't go to somewhere in the world. Or maybe

146
00:08:08.279 --> 00:08:11.079
<v Speaker 2>you're an elderly person and you know you've gotten a

147
00:08:11.079 --> 00:08:13.600
<v Speaker 2>little more creaky in your old age, and you know

148
00:08:13.600 --> 00:08:15.759
<v Speaker 2>you got a hitch in your get along and you

149
00:08:15.800 --> 00:08:19.480
<v Speaker 2>don't know how to but you can help. When the

150
00:08:19.480 --> 00:08:22.079
<v Speaker 2>Bible says, when you support other people to go on

151
00:08:22.439 --> 00:08:27.079
<v Speaker 2>humanitarian missions and peace missions and relief missions and sharing

152
00:08:27.120 --> 00:08:31.759
<v Speaker 2>the good news missions, you actually participate in their reward.

153
00:08:33.120 --> 00:08:36.000
<v Speaker 2>The Bible says this in Third John chapter one, verse eight.

154
00:08:36.519 --> 00:08:40.879
<v Speaker 2>We must support believers. Let me talk about financial support.

155
00:08:41.039 --> 00:08:43.440
<v Speaker 2>We must support believers who go on trips like this

156
00:08:44.240 --> 00:08:49.159
<v Speaker 2>so we can work together with them in spreading the truth.

157
00:08:50.360 --> 00:08:54.080
<v Speaker 2>And then Matthew ten verse eight says this freely have

158
00:08:54.240 --> 00:08:59.200
<v Speaker 2>you received? Freely give? So God says I've been generous

159
00:08:59.240 --> 00:09:02.320
<v Speaker 2>with you. You should be generous and help get the word out.

160
00:09:02.919 --> 00:09:06.320
<v Speaker 2>I can pray, I can get number three, step out,

161
00:09:06.600 --> 00:09:10.639
<v Speaker 2>I could step out in faith. And what does that mean?

162
00:09:10.879 --> 00:09:16.120
<v Speaker 2>Volunteer God's army. God's mission is one hundred percent volunteer.

163
00:09:16.159 --> 00:09:20.039
<v Speaker 2>It's no conscription, there's no draft. You got to volunteer.

164
00:09:20.080 --> 00:09:22.799
<v Speaker 2>You gotta say, Lord, I'm in, I'm willing, I'm able.

165
00:09:22.960 --> 00:09:25.480
<v Speaker 2>Do you know what God uses me? Because I volunteered.

166
00:09:26.080 --> 00:09:28.360
<v Speaker 2>In fact, I volunteer every day of my life, said God.

167
00:09:28.600 --> 00:09:30.720
<v Speaker 2>I wake up in the morning, and before my feet

168
00:09:30.799 --> 00:09:32.559
<v Speaker 2>hit the ground, I say, Lord, I know you're going

169
00:09:32.639 --> 00:09:34.519
<v Speaker 2>to do some really cool things in the world today.

170
00:09:34.639 --> 00:09:36.879
<v Speaker 2>Would you give me the privileges us being in on

171
00:09:36.919 --> 00:09:40.799
<v Speaker 2>some of them? And the trains moving. I just want

172
00:09:40.840 --> 00:09:43.720
<v Speaker 2>to get on his train. I want to get in.

173
00:09:43.799 --> 00:09:45.840
<v Speaker 2>I don't get out and say God, bless what I'm doing.

174
00:09:46.440 --> 00:09:48.159
<v Speaker 2>I get up in the morning and say, God, help

175
00:09:48.240 --> 00:09:51.519
<v Speaker 2>me to do what you're blessing. I know you're going

176
00:09:51.559 --> 00:09:53.120
<v Speaker 2>to bless a bunch of things in the world today.

177
00:09:53.159 --> 00:09:54.799
<v Speaker 2>Would you let me get in on some of it?

178
00:09:55.679 --> 00:09:57.039
<v Speaker 2>I want to get in on this plane. It's not

179
00:09:57.120 --> 00:10:00.399
<v Speaker 2>God working on my plan. I'm working on his PLANEL said, God,

180
00:10:00.399 --> 00:10:02.399
<v Speaker 2>bless my plans. To say, God, what do you planned

181
00:10:02.399 --> 00:10:03.960
<v Speaker 2>to do today? Can I be in on some of it?

182
00:10:04.919 --> 00:10:08.240
<v Speaker 2>I step out in faith like Isaiah did, the great

183
00:10:08.279 --> 00:10:11.840
<v Speaker 2>prophet in the Old Testament Isaiah six' to. Eight isaiah,
