1
00:00:00.240 --> 00:00:02.080
<v Speaker 1>Would you stand with me. Let's pray over the Word

2
00:00:02.120 --> 00:00:02.640
<v Speaker 1>this morning.

3
00:00:03.279 --> 00:00:07.440
<v Speaker 2>Father, we thank you for the opportunity to gather to

4
00:00:07.559 --> 00:00:12.119
<v Speaker 2>hear from your heart. Father, pray that as we listen

5
00:00:12.320 --> 00:00:14.880
<v Speaker 2>to what you have prepared for us, God, to pray

6
00:00:14.960 --> 00:00:20.960
<v Speaker 2>that it pierces our hearts. This morning changes us, affects us.

7
00:00:21.440 --> 00:00:22.920
<v Speaker 1>Makes us leave here.

8
00:00:23.359 --> 00:00:27.120
<v Speaker 2>Running after you with passion and with everything that we have.

9
00:00:27.199 --> 00:00:28.120
<v Speaker 1>We pray that in.

10
00:00:28.160 --> 00:00:31.280
<v Speaker 2>Jesus' name and Man, God bless you, you can be seated.

11
00:00:32.200 --> 00:00:32.640
<v Speaker 1>Amen.

12
00:00:34.200 --> 00:00:37.000
<v Speaker 2>Well, I'm excited about being able to share with you

13
00:00:37.079 --> 00:00:41.079
<v Speaker 2>the Word today. Hopefully you enjoy the graphic and it

14
00:00:41.479 --> 00:00:43.640
<v Speaker 2>reminds you of when you were in Sunday School as

15
00:00:43.640 --> 00:00:46.200
<v Speaker 2>a kid. Come on, a couple of you, Hey man,

16
00:00:46.600 --> 00:00:49.840
<v Speaker 2>all right, and we'll talk about that in a moment.

17
00:00:49.920 --> 00:00:53.640
<v Speaker 2>But last week, Pastor Gary, how many of you were

18
00:00:53.640 --> 00:00:55.079
<v Speaker 2>here from Pastor Gary last week?

19
00:00:55.079 --> 00:00:55.439
<v Speaker 1>Okay?

20
00:00:55.920 --> 00:00:59.399
<v Speaker 2>And Pastor Gary last week was you know in his

21
00:00:59.560 --> 00:01:03.960
<v Speaker 2>message he was encouraging us to ask Jesus to call us.

22
00:01:03.840 --> 00:01:07.799
<v Speaker 1>Out of the boat. And the point was, you know,

23
00:01:08.079 --> 00:01:11.000
<v Speaker 1>he wanted us to ask the Lord to call.

24
00:01:10.920 --> 00:01:15.319
<v Speaker 2>Us into the deeper things of him so that we

25
00:01:15.359 --> 00:01:17.840
<v Speaker 2>could be running after him with everything that we've got

26
00:01:19.200 --> 00:01:21.159
<v Speaker 2>and that's a that is a powerful word and a

27
00:01:21.200 --> 00:01:25.920
<v Speaker 2>powerful picture of how we should be responding and requesting

28
00:01:25.959 --> 00:01:32.040
<v Speaker 2>of God. And then two weeks ago, Pastor Dwayne was

29
00:01:32.079 --> 00:01:35.159
<v Speaker 2>preaching a message and he made a really profound statement

30
00:01:36.879 --> 00:01:40.040
<v Speaker 2>and it was so profound. Actually wrote it down. So

31
00:01:40.079 --> 00:01:42.640
<v Speaker 2>how many of you take notes? Okay, come on, you

32
00:01:42.640 --> 00:01:44.120
<v Speaker 2>should be taking notes.

33
00:01:44.280 --> 00:01:48.000
<v Speaker 1>In these things. But he made a profound statement.

34
00:01:48.079 --> 00:01:50.680
<v Speaker 2>And at the time it was kind of humorous because

35
00:01:50.719 --> 00:01:54.120
<v Speaker 2>of what he was talking about. But that statement stuck

36
00:01:54.159 --> 00:01:58.159
<v Speaker 2>with me and I thought, boy, that that's actually really profound.

37
00:01:58.519 --> 00:02:03.280
<v Speaker 1>And the statement was a little leak makes you worthless.

38
00:02:05.519 --> 00:02:08.639
<v Speaker 2>And he was talking about this large floating that he

39
00:02:08.719 --> 00:02:12.360
<v Speaker 2>had Pastor Joel bought recently. And uh, and they spent

40
00:02:12.479 --> 00:02:15.240
<v Speaker 2>some money on this thing. What do you spend like

41
00:02:15.280 --> 00:02:16.479
<v Speaker 2>thirteen hundred bucks or something?

42
00:02:17.159 --> 00:02:19.479
<v Speaker 1>Wow? I mean, I've known you a long time.

43
00:02:19.520 --> 00:02:21.719
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if you spending thirteen hundred You didn't

44
00:02:21.719 --> 00:02:22.120
<v Speaker 2>pay that.

45
00:02:22.080 --> 00:02:22.719
<v Speaker 1>For your house.

46
00:02:24.479 --> 00:02:27.680
<v Speaker 2>Wow, that's a lot of money for Wow, and you're

47
00:02:27.719 --> 00:02:28.360
<v Speaker 2>a pastor.

48
00:02:29.520 --> 00:02:33.199
<v Speaker 1>Huh, all right, we need you to go to that

49
00:02:33.319 --> 00:02:33.879
<v Speaker 1>giving thing.

50
00:02:33.960 --> 00:02:40.159
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, we're gonna have a drop over to add

51
00:02:40.159 --> 00:02:41.120
<v Speaker 2>pastor's floating.

52
00:02:41.759 --> 00:02:45.120
<v Speaker 1>Well, all know what it's about. But anyway, but his

53
00:02:45.240 --> 00:02:45.960
<v Speaker 1>point was.

54
00:02:46.080 --> 00:02:48.439
<v Speaker 2>You know that they bought this floaty, they made the

55
00:02:48.479 --> 00:02:52.520
<v Speaker 2>floating float and uh and then they get up.

56
00:02:54.560 --> 00:02:57.680
<v Speaker 1>And it's gone, like.

57
00:02:58.520 --> 00:03:00.479
<v Speaker 2>What happened to the floating I can only imagine this

58
00:03:00.520 --> 00:03:04.560
<v Speaker 2>conversation at their house and and Pastor Joel said, I

59
00:03:04.639 --> 00:03:07.680
<v Speaker 2>told him me better go find it.

60
00:03:07.680 --> 00:03:09.560
<v Speaker 1>It was probably his idea to buy it. She was

61
00:03:09.599 --> 00:03:10.240
<v Speaker 1>against it.

62
00:03:10.439 --> 00:03:12.639
<v Speaker 2>And then it disappears and she's like, you better go

63
00:03:12.800 --> 00:03:13.520
<v Speaker 2>find that thing.

64
00:03:16.199 --> 00:03:19.680
<v Speaker 1>How'd I do? Is? I am my clothes? Kind of okay?

65
00:03:20.520 --> 00:03:22.879
<v Speaker 1>But but here's the thing about that.

66
00:03:23.560 --> 00:03:26.000
<v Speaker 2>So and I want to relate that to us for

67
00:03:26.039 --> 00:03:28.240
<v Speaker 2>a moment, because see a lot of us we can

68
00:03:28.319 --> 00:03:32.719
<v Speaker 2>end up feeling a lot like that floaty. You're like, wow,

69
00:03:32.919 --> 00:03:34.960
<v Speaker 2>how do you get that? Well, here's the deal. When

70
00:03:35.039 --> 00:03:38.560
<v Speaker 2>when you first become a Christian. So when you first

71
00:03:38.599 --> 00:03:41.039
<v Speaker 2>get the floaty, you pull it out of the box,

72
00:03:42.080 --> 00:03:46.360
<v Speaker 2>you inflate the thing. You know, when we first become Christians.

73
00:03:46.400 --> 00:03:48.080
<v Speaker 2>I remember when I became a Christian, I was like

74
00:03:48.719 --> 00:03:51.000
<v Speaker 2>full of energy, full of vigord. There was nothing that

75
00:03:51.039 --> 00:03:55.120
<v Speaker 2>could stop me. Saved, fill the Holy Ghost, and I'm

76
00:03:55.120 --> 00:03:56.960
<v Speaker 2>going to heaven and nothing's going to get.

77
00:03:56.759 --> 00:03:59.960
<v Speaker 1>In my way, you know, and same thing.

78
00:04:00.240 --> 00:04:02.639
<v Speaker 2>You know, we kind of get that, and you know,

79
00:04:02.719 --> 00:04:05.120
<v Speaker 2>we get the euphoria of it going. We go float

80
00:04:05.120 --> 00:04:07.520
<v Speaker 2>out in the lake and it's a calm day, the

81
00:04:07.560 --> 00:04:11.680
<v Speaker 2>sun is shining, the water is calm. Maybe the grandkids

82
00:04:11.680 --> 00:04:13.919
<v Speaker 2>are playing with us. If it were our kids, we'd

83
00:04:13.960 --> 00:04:18.839
<v Speaker 2>be irritated, but it's grandkids, so we're not irritated, right, Okay,

84
00:04:19.439 --> 00:04:23.720
<v Speaker 2>speaking from experience and so so, you know, but you're

85
00:04:23.800 --> 00:04:26.839
<v Speaker 2>laying there, but you're thinking to yourself, man, this is

86
00:04:26.879 --> 00:04:27.600
<v Speaker 2>so good.

87
00:04:27.720 --> 00:04:32.199
<v Speaker 1>I'm never going back to shore. This is it.

88
00:04:32.279 --> 00:04:34.439
<v Speaker 2>The sun is in my face, like these lights are

89
00:04:34.439 --> 00:04:38.199
<v Speaker 2>shining down. You know, maybe I have some sunscreen. I

90
00:04:38.279 --> 00:04:40.199
<v Speaker 2>probably need it here under the lights. But it's okay.

91
00:04:40.879 --> 00:04:43.759
<v Speaker 2>And and so you know, you're you're just laying there.

92
00:04:43.879 --> 00:04:47.160
<v Speaker 2>Life is good. Maybe you have a little glass of tea.

93
00:04:47.920 --> 00:04:50.439
<v Speaker 2>You're just hanging out and you never want to go

94
00:04:50.480 --> 00:04:56.000
<v Speaker 2>back to shore. And then, you know, that's how it

95
00:04:56.079 --> 00:04:58.160
<v Speaker 2>is with us as Christians. We kind of get into

96
00:04:58.199 --> 00:05:02.160
<v Speaker 2>that mode and we're just kind of, you know, this

97
00:05:02.240 --> 00:05:04.319
<v Speaker 2>is so good, we don't ever want it to change.

98
00:05:04.360 --> 00:05:08.079
<v Speaker 2>But then life has to happen and things begin to

99
00:05:08.160 --> 00:05:12.480
<v Speaker 2>change and when pastors rescued the floating, he found it.

100
00:05:12.879 --> 00:05:15.800
<v Speaker 2>They get it untethered from the other people's dock, and

101
00:05:15.839 --> 00:05:18.279
<v Speaker 2>they take it home, and they discovered that it had

102
00:05:18.319 --> 00:05:21.519
<v Speaker 2>a little leak in it. It had picked up a nail,

103
00:05:23.120 --> 00:05:26.639
<v Speaker 2>and now it became more of a sinker than a floaty.

104
00:05:28.160 --> 00:05:30.199
<v Speaker 2>And sometimes that's how our lives can be, you know.

105
00:05:30.240 --> 00:05:34.560
<v Speaker 2>We kind of bump along and life is good, and then.

106
00:05:34.600 --> 00:05:35.360
<v Speaker 1>A little.

107
00:05:37.160 --> 00:05:40.199
<v Speaker 2>Pop comes and we have a little link and we

108
00:05:40.319 --> 00:05:41.639
<v Speaker 2>begin to sink a little bit.

109
00:05:42.399 --> 00:05:45.680
<v Speaker 1>But now that's our new normal, and we just but

110
00:05:45.759 --> 00:05:47.279
<v Speaker 1>life just becomes what it is.

111
00:05:49.639 --> 00:05:53.720
<v Speaker 2>And you know, with Peter, I can only imagine he's

112
00:05:53.759 --> 00:05:57.680
<v Speaker 2>sitting in the boat. They see Jesus on the water

113
00:05:57.800 --> 00:06:01.199
<v Speaker 2>through the mist, can't really tell who he is. And

114
00:06:01.240 --> 00:06:04.079
<v Speaker 2>then all of a sudden, you know, Peter sees and

115
00:06:04.120 --> 00:06:04.879
<v Speaker 2>recognize him.

116
00:06:04.920 --> 00:06:07.000
<v Speaker 1>Says, Lord, if it's you, call me out of the boat.

117
00:06:07.040 --> 00:06:10.240
<v Speaker 2>I want to walk on the water too, And Jesus says, well,

118
00:06:10.279 --> 00:06:13.720
<v Speaker 2>come on out, Peter, and so he gets out of

119
00:06:13.759 --> 00:06:15.920
<v Speaker 2>the boat and he begins to walk on the water.

120
00:06:17.160 --> 00:06:19.639
<v Speaker 2>And Peter, all of a sudden, like us on that floating,

121
00:06:19.920 --> 00:06:23.279
<v Speaker 2>he's all of a sudden, he's pretty excited. Because walking

122
00:06:23.319 --> 00:06:25.879
<v Speaker 2>on the water is a totally different experience than being

123
00:06:25.920 --> 00:06:30.839
<v Speaker 2>on the water in a boat, And he's thinking to himself,

124
00:06:30.879 --> 00:06:34.120
<v Speaker 2>you know, this is really cool, and Peter, he's like

125
00:06:34.240 --> 00:06:37.920
<v Speaker 2>probably thinking to himself, this is the best thing in

126
00:06:37.920 --> 00:06:39.639
<v Speaker 2>my life. I'm going to be able to walk on

127
00:06:39.680 --> 00:06:43.240
<v Speaker 2>the water. I don't need a boat to go fishing anymore.

128
00:06:43.319 --> 00:06:45.759
<v Speaker 2>I can just walk out, get the fish, come back in.

129
00:06:45.839 --> 00:06:48.120
<v Speaker 2>I don't have the maintenance of a boat. I don't

130
00:06:48.120 --> 00:06:50.639
<v Speaker 2>have to clean the boat. I don't have to trailer

131
00:06:50.680 --> 00:06:54.040
<v Speaker 2>the boat to Blue Creek. I don't have think about that.

132
00:06:54.120 --> 00:06:55.879
<v Speaker 2>What could we do if we just walked on the

133
00:06:55.959 --> 00:07:01.439
<v Speaker 2>river and got the fish? Amazing, really cool. But then

134
00:07:02.079 --> 00:07:09.360
<v Speaker 2>something happens and distractions come the waves, maybe a wind,

135
00:07:09.800 --> 00:07:14.720
<v Speaker 2>or maybe those guys in the boat that you left behind. Hey, Peter,

136
00:07:14.839 --> 00:07:17.240
<v Speaker 2>you better get back in the boat before you drown.

137
00:07:17.360 --> 00:07:21.279
<v Speaker 1>Dude, what are you thinking? You're going to sink?

138
00:07:22.800 --> 00:07:25.360
<v Speaker 2>And all of a sudden, those voices become the voices

139
00:07:25.399 --> 00:07:28.600
<v Speaker 2>you're hearing, not not the word of the Lord, the

140
00:07:28.720 --> 00:07:31.879
<v Speaker 2>voices from behind, well meaning people who only have your

141
00:07:31.920 --> 00:07:39.000
<v Speaker 2>best interest in heart, and he begins to sink. But

142
00:07:39.120 --> 00:07:41.079
<v Speaker 2>up to that point, he's sinking to himself. I'm going

143
00:07:41.160 --> 00:07:45.879
<v Speaker 2>to open a new business. Who needs a boat? When

144
00:07:45.920 --> 00:07:50.720
<v Speaker 2>you've got Jesus charter company? Would that sell?

145
00:07:51.759 --> 00:07:56.480
<v Speaker 1>It might? Craig's my fishing buddy, so you know.

146
00:07:56.639 --> 00:08:03.040
<v Speaker 2>But but I'm telling you the reality of life can

147
00:08:03.160 --> 00:08:09.759
<v Speaker 2>wipe us out if we're not careful. And what God

148
00:08:09.839 --> 00:08:14.959
<v Speaker 2>wants us to hear today is that He has this

149
00:08:15.120 --> 00:08:21.040
<v Speaker 2>sustaining connection that he wants with us. He wants us

150
00:08:21.120 --> 00:08:24.199
<v Speaker 2>to be people who are so connected to Him that

151
00:08:24.240 --> 00:08:27.120
<v Speaker 2>the people in the boat can't distract us from the word.

152
00:08:30.879 --> 00:08:33.519
<v Speaker 2>Come on that when we're on the floatie. All we

153
00:08:33.600 --> 00:08:37.200
<v Speaker 2>can hear is his word. All we can hear is

154
00:08:37.240 --> 00:08:40.600
<v Speaker 2>his praises. All we can hear are the good things

155
00:08:40.639 --> 00:08:47.200
<v Speaker 2>of God. Jesus said this in Revelation three. He said, behold,

156
00:08:47.240 --> 00:08:50.240
<v Speaker 2>I stand at the door, and I knock, and if

157
00:08:50.559 --> 00:08:53.799
<v Speaker 2>anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will

158
00:08:53.840 --> 00:08:56.360
<v Speaker 2>come in and dine with him, and he with me.

159
00:09:00.039 --> 00:09:03.159
<v Speaker 2>And then Timothy Paul was writing to him, and he said,

160
00:09:03.159 --> 00:09:05.960
<v Speaker 2>and two Timothy one six He says, I'm writing to

161
00:09:06.120 --> 00:09:11.320
<v Speaker 2>you to encourage you to fan the flame and rekindle

162
00:09:11.360 --> 00:09:13.559
<v Speaker 2>the fire of the spiritual gift.

163
00:09:13.600 --> 00:09:17.679
<v Speaker 1>God imparted to you all of these things.

164
00:09:17.720 --> 00:09:20.960
<v Speaker 2>See John, he wrote this that Jesus stands at the

165
00:09:20.960 --> 00:09:22.799
<v Speaker 2>door and knocks, And we think of that as a

166
00:09:22.799 --> 00:09:26.840
<v Speaker 2>salvation call, and it is, but it's also Jesus standing

167
00:09:26.840 --> 00:09:29.159
<v Speaker 2>at the door and knocking and saying, I want to

168
00:09:29.200 --> 00:09:33.600
<v Speaker 2>come in and dine with you. If you read that

169
00:09:33.759 --> 00:09:38.200
<v Speaker 2>passage and you go into the original interpretation, is it

170
00:09:38.360 --> 00:09:41.840
<v Speaker 2>is the bridegroom standing at the door knocking on the

171
00:09:41.879 --> 00:09:49.799
<v Speaker 2>door of his bride. And if they opened the door

172
00:09:49.840 --> 00:09:53.799
<v Speaker 2>and they invited him in, the answer was yes. Jesus

173
00:09:53.879 --> 00:09:56.919
<v Speaker 2>is saying to you today, will you be my bride?

174
00:09:57.480 --> 00:10:03.200
<v Speaker 2>Will you invite me in? And what Paul was saying

175
00:10:03.240 --> 00:10:06.440
<v Speaker 2>to Timothy is Timothy, if you want to run with

176
00:10:06.559 --> 00:10:09.600
<v Speaker 2>God the way that you've been called to run with God,

177
00:10:09.879 --> 00:10:12.919
<v Speaker 2>with the annoying thing that you've been called with, with,

178
00:10:12.919 --> 00:10:15.720
<v Speaker 2>with the passion that He's put in you, You're gonna

179
00:10:15.759 --> 00:10:17.240
<v Speaker 2>have to do something on your own.

180
00:10:17.279 --> 00:10:18.639
<v Speaker 1>You've got to stir yourself.

181
00:10:20.320 --> 00:10:23.960
<v Speaker 2>You've got to stir that blessed you got to stir yourself.

182
00:10:24.480 --> 00:10:27.360
<v Speaker 2>I'm telling you, I'm challenged by this, and I want

183
00:10:27.360 --> 00:10:30.799
<v Speaker 2>to challenge all of us that that that you consider

184
00:10:30.919 --> 00:10:37.679
<v Speaker 2>stirring yourself every day. You know, it's interesting because I was, uh,

185
00:10:38.279 --> 00:10:41.039
<v Speaker 2>you know, thinking about this the other day, and it

186
00:10:41.559 --> 00:10:47.000
<v Speaker 2>puts a responsibility on us. You know, so many times

187
00:10:47.039 --> 00:10:51.720
<v Speaker 2>we we we come to church and we don't get stirred.

188
00:10:52.559 --> 00:10:56.159
<v Speaker 2>Maybe you're not stirred by the worship, but you know

189
00:10:56.200 --> 00:11:02.960
<v Speaker 2>what it wasn't for you? Was he stirred by it?

190
00:11:06.679 --> 00:11:08.759
<v Speaker 2>Come on, I don't want that to sound critical. I'm

191
00:11:08.799 --> 00:11:12.679
<v Speaker 2>just telling you what we think of it doesn't really matter.

192
00:11:12.759 --> 00:11:16.919
<v Speaker 2>Can we stir ourselves into the reality that Jesus you

193
00:11:17.000 --> 00:11:17.720
<v Speaker 2>are my Lord.

194
00:11:18.279 --> 00:11:20.159
<v Speaker 1>I worship you with all that I have.

195
00:11:20.519 --> 00:11:23.120
<v Speaker 2>I worship you even though I don't necessarily care for

196
00:11:23.159 --> 00:11:28.639
<v Speaker 2>that type of music. But I'm gonna worship you anyway.

197
00:11:29.720 --> 00:11:32.000
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna worship you. I'm gonna serve you. I want

198
00:11:32.000 --> 00:11:38.360
<v Speaker 2>to praise you. Stir yourselves up. Jeff Conley was telling

199
00:11:38.440 --> 00:11:40.360
<v Speaker 2>me the other day about an encounter that he had

200
00:11:40.360 --> 00:11:42.399
<v Speaker 2>with the Lord this week and how that he had

201
00:11:42.399 --> 00:11:44.320
<v Speaker 2>gone up into his prayer room in the morning and

202
00:11:44.840 --> 00:11:45.639
<v Speaker 2>he began to pray.

203
00:11:45.679 --> 00:11:46.600
<v Speaker 1>And he went in there.

204
00:11:46.399 --> 00:11:49.039
<v Speaker 2>With no phone, no music, nothing, just goes in their

205
00:11:49.120 --> 00:11:51.679
<v Speaker 2>raw and he began to pray, and He's like, I

206
00:11:51.840 --> 00:11:56.039
<v Speaker 2>just wanted to visit with God, and he began to pray,

207
00:11:56.039 --> 00:11:58.039
<v Speaker 2>and he began to seek the Holy Spirit, and pretty

208
00:11:58.039 --> 00:12:01.039
<v Speaker 2>soon he began to sing. And soon he begins to

209
00:12:01.679 --> 00:12:04.559
<v Speaker 2>get stirred up in his spiriting, and he begins to

210
00:12:04.720 --> 00:12:06.919
<v Speaker 2>sense Holy Spirit in the room, and he's singing a

211
00:12:06.960 --> 00:12:09.279
<v Speaker 2>new song, and he stirred up, and he said, it

212
00:12:09.279 --> 00:12:10.080
<v Speaker 2>was the best.

213
00:12:09.919 --> 00:12:11.600
<v Speaker 1>Encounter I've had in a very long time.

214
00:12:14.000 --> 00:12:17.720
<v Speaker 2>God wants us so raw, he wants us so stirred

215
00:12:17.799 --> 00:12:20.320
<v Speaker 2>up in him, that all we can do is say, God,

216
00:12:20.360 --> 00:12:20.840
<v Speaker 2>I just.

217
00:12:20.879 --> 00:12:22.320
<v Speaker 1>Need you, and I want you.

218
00:12:22.639 --> 00:12:25.480
<v Speaker 2>I want you in every situation. I want you in

219
00:12:25.519 --> 00:12:28.159
<v Speaker 2>my life. God, more than anything. I want you in

220
00:12:28.200 --> 00:12:30.120
<v Speaker 2>the lives of my children. I want you in the

221
00:12:30.159 --> 00:12:32.759
<v Speaker 2>lives of my grandchildren. I want you in the lives

222
00:12:32.799 --> 00:12:35.759
<v Speaker 2>of the people that are around me. God, get yourself

223
00:12:35.799 --> 00:12:39.360
<v Speaker 2>stirred up. Let what breaks his heart break your heart.

224
00:12:44.360 --> 00:12:47.360
<v Speaker 2>The relationship that He has for us is so filled

225
00:12:47.360 --> 00:12:51.320
<v Speaker 2>with joy and purpose and destiny, telling you so many

226
00:12:51.360 --> 00:12:54.120
<v Speaker 2>times we as Christians, we walk through life with a

227
00:12:54.120 --> 00:12:58.360
<v Speaker 2>little bit of a leak, and we allow it to

228
00:12:58.480 --> 00:13:01.639
<v Speaker 2>destroy us, and we allow it to steal the joy

229
00:13:01.679 --> 00:13:04.399
<v Speaker 2>that He has for us because we're not taking the

230
00:13:04.480 --> 00:13:07.240
<v Speaker 2>time to patch it every single day and say, God,

231
00:13:07.480 --> 00:13:13.360
<v Speaker 2>I need you more than anything. Psalm sixteen eleven says,

232
00:13:13.360 --> 00:13:16.960
<v Speaker 2>because of you, I know the path of life. As

233
00:13:16.960 --> 00:13:20.399
<v Speaker 2>I taste the fullness of joy in your presence at

234
00:13:20.399 --> 00:13:24.000
<v Speaker 2>your right side, I experienced divine pleasure forevermore.

235
00:13:24.799 --> 00:13:25.080
<v Speaker 1>Come on.

236
00:13:25.320 --> 00:13:28.240
<v Speaker 2>He's the God of joy, and he's the God of pleasure.

237
00:13:28.639 --> 00:13:31.559
<v Speaker 2>He doesn't want you to be bored, to be stiff,

238
00:13:32.000 --> 00:13:35.159
<v Speaker 2>to have a leak, to be down cast. He wants

239
00:13:35.159 --> 00:13:38.039
<v Speaker 2>you full of joy, full of pleasure. And it's through

240
00:13:38.080 --> 00:13:40.600
<v Speaker 2>that joy and through that pleasure that you're gonna find

241
00:13:40.600 --> 00:13:43.080
<v Speaker 2>your destiny and everything that he has for you.

242
00:13:45.879 --> 00:13:48.200
<v Speaker 1>Many of you know our story a little bit.

243
00:13:48.240 --> 00:13:50.639
<v Speaker 2>You know that since the beginning of twenty twenty, Sandy

244
00:13:50.639 --> 00:13:54.759
<v Speaker 2>and I we really began to focus on the communion message.

245
00:13:54.840 --> 00:13:57.879
<v Speaker 2>And in the beginning it wasn't that it was just hey,

246
00:13:57.960 --> 00:14:00.919
<v Speaker 2>let's receive communion with Jeff and ca Aaron who were

247
00:14:00.919 --> 00:14:03.159
<v Speaker 2>stuck on the Princess Cruise ship, and we're like, hey,

248
00:14:03.399 --> 00:14:05.440
<v Speaker 2>you know, can we just call you, encourage you each

249
00:14:05.519 --> 00:14:08.360
<v Speaker 2>day and receive communion with you and pray with you, guys,

250
00:14:08.399 --> 00:14:10.240
<v Speaker 2>because they're stuck out in the middle of the Pacific

251
00:14:10.279 --> 00:14:13.639
<v Speaker 2>ocean in a little dinky cabin. These are very tall people.

252
00:14:14.720 --> 00:14:19.519
<v Speaker 2>Have you seen them? Can you imagine? No window? You know,

253
00:14:19.639 --> 00:14:24.200
<v Speaker 2>the bedroom is small, you know, Jeff is tall, Karen's tall.

254
00:14:24.240 --> 00:14:26.799
<v Speaker 2>These are big people. This is like, you know, I'm like,

255
00:14:27.080 --> 00:14:29.480
<v Speaker 2>oh my gosh, I'd go out of my mind. I

256
00:14:29.519 --> 00:14:31.360
<v Speaker 2>would have gone out of my mind. I'm not very big,

257
00:14:32.039 --> 00:14:36.600
<v Speaker 2>you know. And and so that began this thing, and

258
00:14:36.600 --> 00:14:38.879
<v Speaker 2>and so then it kind of grew, you know, and

259
00:14:38.919 --> 00:14:42.000
<v Speaker 2>we start just receiving communion with them, and then we

260
00:14:42.080 --> 00:14:45.240
<v Speaker 2>invite people from the church to begin receiving communion with us.

261
00:14:45.120 --> 00:14:46.879
<v Speaker 1>And and it just kind of gross.

262
00:14:47.600 --> 00:14:49.360
<v Speaker 2>And then I'm sitting at home one day on a

263
00:14:49.440 --> 00:14:53.120
<v Speaker 2>Saturday and and I'm like, I'm like, you know what we're.

264
00:14:52.960 --> 00:14:53.720
<v Speaker 1>Gonna do, honey.

265
00:14:54.960 --> 00:14:58.600
<v Speaker 2>We're gonna start a Facebook page and we're gonna call

266
00:14:58.639 --> 00:15:02.320
<v Speaker 2>it my daily communion. You ever done something as a

267
00:15:02.320 --> 00:15:06.559
<v Speaker 2>commitment and gone after you did it, You're like, what

268
00:15:06.720 --> 00:15:07.320
<v Speaker 2>was I thinking?

269
00:15:09.120 --> 00:15:10.320
<v Speaker 1>And that kind of hit me.

270
00:15:10.559 --> 00:15:13.840
<v Speaker 2>I'm like, you know right, I mean, I'm like, because

271
00:15:14.000 --> 00:15:17.080
<v Speaker 2>it's not my every other day communion, it isn't my

272
00:15:17.120 --> 00:15:18.960
<v Speaker 2>every other week communion.

273
00:15:19.519 --> 00:15:21.039
<v Speaker 1>It's my daily communion.

274
00:15:21.559 --> 00:15:24.000
<v Speaker 2>When you have a website, called my Daily Communion dot

275
00:15:24.039 --> 00:15:25.480
<v Speaker 2>Com and you can go there and check it out.

276
00:15:25.519 --> 00:15:29.600
<v Speaker 2>It's kind of cool, you know, and and like, you know,

277
00:15:29.879 --> 00:15:32.159
<v Speaker 2>it's like people expect to see.

278
00:15:33.759 --> 00:15:35.320
<v Speaker 1>A daily communion post.

279
00:15:36.759 --> 00:15:41.360
<v Speaker 2>Who knew, And like, we grew up in religion. We're

280
00:15:41.360 --> 00:15:44.720
<v Speaker 2>in church, you know, Pentecostal kids. We had communion afore

281
00:15:44.879 --> 00:15:47.360
<v Speaker 2>Sunday of every month in the same scripture, you know,

282
00:15:47.480 --> 00:15:51.159
<v Speaker 2>and we examined ourselves and we took communion, and you know,

283
00:15:51.200 --> 00:15:53.600
<v Speaker 2>in five minutes it was over, and we had done

284
00:15:53.639 --> 00:15:55.600
<v Speaker 2>our communion duty for the months, and life went on,

285
00:15:57.799 --> 00:15:59.960
<v Speaker 2>and then twenty twenty hits and all of a sudden

286
00:16:00.120 --> 00:16:03.360
<v Speaker 2>communion because something totally different to us. It had already

287
00:16:03.360 --> 00:16:06.399
<v Speaker 2>been that years ago, but at this point in twenty twenty,

288
00:16:06.559 --> 00:16:10.120
<v Speaker 2>it's like, this is really important for people right now.

289
00:16:11.440 --> 00:16:15.960
<v Speaker 2>And while we didn't have a whole lot of manna

290
00:16:16.799 --> 00:16:20.039
<v Speaker 2>in us because we knew a few scriptures about communion,

291
00:16:21.559 --> 00:16:27.120
<v Speaker 2>but then God begins to place a daily manna in us.

292
00:16:27.639 --> 00:16:30.279
<v Speaker 2>So the Bible says, if you seek me out, I'm

293
00:16:30.279 --> 00:16:34.159
<v Speaker 2>gonna come to you. And we would sit around, I

294
00:16:34.200 --> 00:16:36.759
<v Speaker 2>remember these early days of this, and we would literally

295
00:16:36.799 --> 00:16:39.720
<v Speaker 2>we would sit around and we would talk about these things,

296
00:16:39.960 --> 00:16:42.559
<v Speaker 2>and it kind of was at the beginning, it was

297
00:16:42.639 --> 00:16:44.919
<v Speaker 2>kind of like this laborious thing.

298
00:16:46.559 --> 00:16:46.879
<v Speaker 1>It was.

299
00:16:46.960 --> 00:16:48.799
<v Speaker 2>It was kind of like, wow, this is we have

300
00:16:48.919 --> 00:16:51.679
<v Speaker 2>to do this, and we could. And then and then

301
00:16:51.720 --> 00:16:55.200
<v Speaker 2>one day I'm sitting there and I'm like, I'm praying

302
00:16:55.200 --> 00:17:01.519
<v Speaker 2>about it because because I realized that we're making it hard.

303
00:17:02.720 --> 00:17:05.799
<v Speaker 2>We're making it hard. And then there's this day I'm

304
00:17:05.799 --> 00:17:09.359
<v Speaker 2>sitting in my chair and I'm praying and I'm prepping

305
00:17:09.720 --> 00:17:12.000
<v Speaker 2>and I'm thinking, and the Holy Spirit speaks to me

306
00:17:13.279 --> 00:17:15.119
<v Speaker 2>and he says, I want to show you something.

307
00:17:16.559 --> 00:17:18.160
<v Speaker 1>And he begins to show me.

308
00:17:18.440 --> 00:17:21.880
<v Speaker 2>He says, I want you to see that there was

309
00:17:21.920 --> 00:17:25.640
<v Speaker 2>a foreshadow of communion throughout the Word of God, throughout

310
00:17:25.680 --> 00:17:29.559
<v Speaker 2>the Bible. And I'm going to give you golden nuggets

311
00:17:29.599 --> 00:17:33.720
<v Speaker 2>to give to people, not because other people have taught

312
00:17:33.720 --> 00:17:35.799
<v Speaker 2>this and you're gonna be able to go learn from them,

313
00:17:35.880 --> 00:17:39.119
<v Speaker 2>but because you're going to learn from Holy Spirit what

314
00:17:39.240 --> 00:17:45.279
<v Speaker 2>God wants you to present. And it was interesting because commitment,

315
00:17:45.799 --> 00:17:47.519
<v Speaker 2>how many of you have a hard time with commitment?

316
00:17:48.799 --> 00:17:51.319
<v Speaker 2>Come on, seriously, like I know this, more than three

317
00:17:51.400 --> 00:17:53.359
<v Speaker 2>or four of you as needed to come to the

318
00:17:53.359 --> 00:17:59.440
<v Speaker 2>altar and repent today. But The point I'm making is that,

319
00:17:59.759 --> 00:18:02.680
<v Speaker 2>you know, sometimes we do things and then we try

320
00:18:02.680 --> 00:18:05.480
<v Speaker 2>and do it in our own and it becomes hard.

321
00:18:06.319 --> 00:18:09.400
<v Speaker 2>And yet God begins to show us things. And one

322
00:18:09.440 --> 00:18:12.200
<v Speaker 2>day I remember the Lord speaking to him. He says, Okay,

323
00:18:12.240 --> 00:18:15.759
<v Speaker 2>I want you to understand something. I fed Elijah communion

324
00:18:15.839 --> 00:18:19.640
<v Speaker 2>under the broom free to overcome depression.

325
00:18:19.680 --> 00:18:21.200
<v Speaker 1>Would you tell people that please?

326
00:18:24.559 --> 00:18:26.839
<v Speaker 2>So I'm telling you you want to get over depression,

327
00:18:26.920 --> 00:18:30.960
<v Speaker 2>receive communion. And then he says to me one day,

328
00:18:31.680 --> 00:18:35.079
<v Speaker 2>he says, you know, when Paul was shipwrecked and the

329
00:18:35.119 --> 00:18:39.279
<v Speaker 2>men hadn't eaten for fourteen days, I fed them communion

330
00:18:39.359 --> 00:18:42.160
<v Speaker 2>because the journey ahead of them was too long without it.

331
00:18:43.200 --> 00:18:44.039
<v Speaker 1>He says, would you.

332
00:18:43.960 --> 00:18:47.079
<v Speaker 2>Tell the people that they need communion every day because

333
00:18:47.119 --> 00:18:51.599
<v Speaker 2>the journey they're facing is too long without it. And

334
00:18:51.640 --> 00:18:54.119
<v Speaker 2>he began to make it easy for us to see.

335
00:18:54.160 --> 00:18:56.920
<v Speaker 2>And everything we began to see was through this lens

336
00:18:56.920 --> 00:18:58.880
<v Speaker 2>that God began to just lift the lid off of.

337
00:19:00.200 --> 00:19:02.519
<v Speaker 1>And he says, these are what I want you to teach.

338
00:19:03.119 --> 00:19:05.960
<v Speaker 2>And I'm telling you this not to brag, because it's

339
00:19:06.000 --> 00:19:08.079
<v Speaker 2>not anything we can brag about. This has nothing to

340
00:19:08.079 --> 00:19:10.960
<v Speaker 2>do with Sandy and I all of this was things

341
00:19:11.000 --> 00:19:13.799
<v Speaker 2>that Holy Spirit began to reveal to us. But I'm

342
00:19:13.839 --> 00:19:16.480
<v Speaker 2>telling you, if you'll make a commitment, God will meet

343
00:19:16.519 --> 00:19:17.440
<v Speaker 2>you in your commitment.

344
00:19:18.079 --> 00:19:19.039
<v Speaker 1>And if you'll.

345
00:19:18.759 --> 00:19:20.640
<v Speaker 2>Decide that you're going to do the thing that's hard,

346
00:19:20.640 --> 00:19:22.680
<v Speaker 2>God will meet you in the thing that's hard and

347
00:19:22.720 --> 00:19:27.119
<v Speaker 2>make it easy. Come on, Serving Him is easy. Making

348
00:19:27.160 --> 00:19:29.480
<v Speaker 2>the commitment is the hard part for us as people.

349
00:19:30.240 --> 00:19:33.200
<v Speaker 2>But once we make that decision, God's going to turn

350
00:19:33.240 --> 00:19:35.319
<v Speaker 2>on the faucet and all of a sudden, the thing

351
00:19:35.359 --> 00:19:37.759
<v Speaker 2>that you thought was hard is going to become easy.

352
00:19:37.799 --> 00:19:40.039
<v Speaker 2>The thing that you thought was difficult is going to

353
00:19:40.039 --> 00:19:44.519
<v Speaker 2>become something that you can handle every single day. And

354
00:19:44.559 --> 00:19:48.319
<v Speaker 2>I'm telling you it will change, change, change your life.

355
00:19:51.440 --> 00:19:56.440
<v Speaker 2>Miraculous things flow out of the intimacy with Him telling you.

356
00:19:56.480 --> 00:19:59.599
<v Speaker 2>The miraculous flows. We have seen miracles in our lives.

357
00:19:59.640 --> 00:20:03.359
<v Speaker 2>You know about God healing me of celiac disease. We've

358
00:20:03.400 --> 00:20:06.400
<v Speaker 2>seen miracles in other people's lives. You know about Roman

359
00:20:06.480 --> 00:20:09.440
<v Speaker 2>and you know having a baby, how Aiden came? Where

360
00:20:09.720 --> 00:20:14.519
<v Speaker 2>after all those years of infertility and treatments and frustration, communion,

361
00:20:14.559 --> 00:20:18.599
<v Speaker 2>one night, three weeks later, they're pregnant. Come on, Come on, God,

362
00:20:18.880 --> 00:20:22.480
<v Speaker 2>he's the god of fertility. He's the god of agility.

363
00:20:22.519 --> 00:20:25.160
<v Speaker 2>He's the god that will take you from your low

364
00:20:25.240 --> 00:20:28.119
<v Speaker 2>point to your high point. If you're struggling with anything,

365
00:20:28.160 --> 00:20:29.039
<v Speaker 2>he's the god for it.

366
00:20:29.079 --> 00:20:32.319
<v Speaker 1>I'm telling you. If you're struggling in.

367
00:20:32.279 --> 00:20:35.400
<v Speaker 2>Your finances, he's the god of prosperity. If you're struggling

368
00:20:35.400 --> 00:20:37.200
<v Speaker 2>in your health, he's the god of your healing.

369
00:20:37.359 --> 00:20:37.640
<v Speaker 1>Come on.

370
00:20:37.720 --> 00:20:40.160
<v Speaker 2>If you're struggling in your marriage, he's the god of

371
00:20:40.200 --> 00:20:44.440
<v Speaker 2>reconciliation and unity. Come on, But it starts with communion

372
00:20:44.480 --> 00:20:47.759
<v Speaker 2>with him. You've got to have communion with him. And yeah,

373
00:20:47.799 --> 00:20:50.880
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna I sometimes everything I talk about it gets

374
00:20:50.960 --> 00:20:53.279
<v Speaker 2>up ends up being community. Yes, because you know what,

375
00:20:53.640 --> 00:20:56.839
<v Speaker 2>everything in our lives flows out of our relationship with him.

376
00:20:57.240 --> 00:20:59.480
<v Speaker 2>And Jesus said, I came here. I'm knocking on the

377
00:20:59.519 --> 00:21:03.839
<v Speaker 2>door to dine with you. Come on at that table,

378
00:21:03.960 --> 00:21:06.680
<v Speaker 2>Come and dine. Come on, come and dine. Tell him

379
00:21:06.720 --> 00:21:09.240
<v Speaker 2>your troubles, tell him your high points, tell him your

380
00:21:09.319 --> 00:21:11.839
<v Speaker 2>low points, tell him everything that's going on. And you

381
00:21:11.880 --> 00:21:13.960
<v Speaker 2>know what else, Listen to what he has to say.

382
00:21:14.519 --> 00:21:17.039
<v Speaker 2>Because he cares about the government, he cares about the

383
00:21:17.079 --> 00:21:20.200
<v Speaker 2>school system, he cares about the Port Commission. He cares

384
00:21:20.240 --> 00:21:23.599
<v Speaker 2>about our lives daily. He is the god that cares

385
00:21:23.640 --> 00:21:29.720
<v Speaker 2>about everything that's going on in our lives. As a

386
00:21:30.200 --> 00:21:32.440
<v Speaker 2>young man, as a boy I grew up, I was

387
00:21:32.559 --> 00:21:36.039
<v Speaker 2>fascinated by this story of Zachias. So you all, some

388
00:21:36.119 --> 00:21:39.039
<v Speaker 2>of you might recognize that that's actually a picture of

389
00:21:39.079 --> 00:21:41.119
<v Speaker 2>a flannel graph. I many even know what a flannel

390
00:21:41.119 --> 00:21:44.279
<v Speaker 2>graph is. Okay, there's about half of you, Okay, good

391
00:21:44.599 --> 00:21:47.200
<v Speaker 2>third of you. Whatever I told Sandy, like fourteen people

392
00:21:47.240 --> 00:21:49.440
<v Speaker 2>would raise their hand. But you know, I was always

393
00:21:49.480 --> 00:21:52.000
<v Speaker 2>amazed by the flannel graph because like it was this

394
00:21:52.079 --> 00:21:54.839
<v Speaker 2>piece of paper and he's stuck it.

395
00:21:54.759 --> 00:21:58.160
<v Speaker 1>On the wall, and I was like, huh, how's that work?

396
00:21:58.839 --> 00:22:01.400
<v Speaker 1>You know? And and so I'd be like trying to

397
00:22:01.440 --> 00:22:02.279
<v Speaker 1>figure out how it works.

398
00:22:02.279 --> 00:22:04.480
<v Speaker 2>And I'm sure the teacher was saying something really important

399
00:22:04.480 --> 00:22:07.240
<v Speaker 2>about Zychias, but I was still trying to figure out

400
00:22:07.640 --> 00:22:10.960
<v Speaker 2>how to stick to the wall, you know. And I'd

401
00:22:11.039 --> 00:22:14.279
<v Speaker 2>look at the back afterward, thinking they got glue back there,

402
00:22:14.319 --> 00:22:16.759
<v Speaker 2>and it's just soft and anyway, it kind of freaked

403
00:22:16.759 --> 00:22:18.400
<v Speaker 2>me out, but it was cool, you know.

404
00:22:18.720 --> 00:22:20.200
<v Speaker 1>And I tried to take it home with me and

405
00:22:20.240 --> 00:22:21.079
<v Speaker 1>my mother slapped me.

406
00:22:21.200 --> 00:22:24.160
<v Speaker 2>She was she was the bastard's wife, you know, and

407
00:22:24.319 --> 00:22:27.119
<v Speaker 2>the and the teacher and so I'm boring.

408
00:22:27.279 --> 00:22:27.960
<v Speaker 1>It was terrible.

409
00:22:28.160 --> 00:22:32.440
<v Speaker 2>So anyway, but but you know, but but Zachias fascinated

410
00:22:32.480 --> 00:22:33.759
<v Speaker 2>me as a kid. And the other thing that was

411
00:22:33.759 --> 00:22:36.240
<v Speaker 2>cool about is Psychias was there was a cool little

412
00:22:36.279 --> 00:22:40.200
<v Speaker 2>song that went with Zachias's story. You know, you guys

413
00:22:40.279 --> 00:22:43.880
<v Speaker 2>know the song Zachius was a wee little.

414
00:22:43.599 --> 00:22:45.680
<v Speaker 1>Man, and a wee little man was he?

415
00:22:47.240 --> 00:22:49.440
<v Speaker 2>Guys know the song some of how many of you

416
00:22:49.559 --> 00:22:52.119
<v Speaker 2>honestly know the song? And I have okay, oh right,

417
00:22:52.160 --> 00:22:56.200
<v Speaker 2>I stopped singing, Okay, But the point was that, you know,

418
00:22:56.319 --> 00:23:01.000
<v Speaker 2>Zakias climbs up in the sycamore tree because he wants

419
00:23:01.039 --> 00:23:07.119
<v Speaker 2>to see Jesus, and the Bible teaches us that Zachius was, you.

420
00:23:07.039 --> 00:23:08.160
<v Speaker 1>Know, was uh.

421
00:23:09.720 --> 00:23:15.160
<v Speaker 2>Was you know, height challenged, let's say, yeah, and so

422
00:23:15.400 --> 00:23:18.039
<v Speaker 2>you know that's why you call him a wee little man. Okay,

423
00:23:18.319 --> 00:23:20.480
<v Speaker 2>it was cute and it probably rhymed, but you know whatever,

424
00:23:21.079 --> 00:23:24.759
<v Speaker 2>And and so, but Zacheus was this guy who was

425
00:23:24.839 --> 00:23:29.400
<v Speaker 2>short and he worked for the Roman government. He was

426
00:23:29.440 --> 00:23:33.839
<v Speaker 2>a Jewish man working for the Roman governor government. And

427
00:23:33.920 --> 00:23:36.880
<v Speaker 2>he wasn't just like a tax collector. He was actually

428
00:23:36.920 --> 00:23:41.519
<v Speaker 2>in charge of tax collectors, and so he was known

429
00:23:41.559 --> 00:23:45.839
<v Speaker 2>to be, you know, this kind of squirrely little guy

430
00:23:46.559 --> 00:23:50.599
<v Speaker 2>who abused people and took their money. And probably from

431
00:23:50.599 --> 00:23:53.680
<v Speaker 2>the Jewish perspective, he was considered a trader because he

432
00:23:53.720 --> 00:23:55.680
<v Speaker 2>worked for the Romans and he would take your money.

433
00:23:56.279 --> 00:23:59.400
<v Speaker 2>And the tax collectors back then, they would, you.

434
00:23:59.359 --> 00:24:00.319
<v Speaker 1>Know, be just honest.

435
00:24:00.400 --> 00:24:02.079
<v Speaker 2>They would charge you more than you were supposed to

436
00:24:02.119 --> 00:24:06.599
<v Speaker 2>pay because that was their share. And zachy Is became

437
00:24:06.720 --> 00:24:14.480
<v Speaker 2>wealthy through this process. And and so one day though,

438
00:24:16.400 --> 00:24:17.799
<v Speaker 2>and by the way, how many of us have friends

439
00:24:17.799 --> 00:24:18.680
<v Speaker 2>that work at the I R S?

440
00:24:18.759 --> 00:24:19.200
<v Speaker 1>Anybody?

441
00:24:20.200 --> 00:24:23.039
<v Speaker 2>I asked this in first there's one person out of

442
00:24:23.119 --> 00:24:26.079
<v Speaker 2>the out of however many we've had here today, one person, pastor.

443
00:24:26.680 --> 00:24:30.400
<v Speaker 2>That's awesome, congratulations. How many have you worked for the

444
00:24:30.440 --> 00:24:34.359
<v Speaker 2>I R S? Anybody? Okay, good, all right, okay, we're

445
00:24:34.440 --> 00:24:36.240
<v Speaker 2>just just checking in, no big deal.

446
00:24:36.279 --> 00:24:37.079
<v Speaker 1>We're all good here.

447
00:24:37.359 --> 00:24:42.200
<v Speaker 2>But but my point is these guys don't have a

448
00:24:42.240 --> 00:24:42.920
<v Speaker 2>lot of friends.

449
00:24:47.400 --> 00:24:50.880
<v Speaker 1>They didn't then and they don't today.

450
00:24:51.720 --> 00:24:53.519
<v Speaker 2>We still have a guy that attended our churchyard that

451
00:24:53.640 --> 00:24:56.079
<v Speaker 2>was an auditor with the I R S. And you know,

452
00:24:56.279 --> 00:25:04.119
<v Speaker 2>we love dun him. From a distance. So, but here's

453
00:25:04.160 --> 00:25:08.799
<v Speaker 2>the thing about Zachias. He was physically, you know, financially,

454
00:25:08.920 --> 00:25:14.000
<v Speaker 2>materially he was very wealthy, but spiritually he was bankrupt.

455
00:25:16.680 --> 00:25:19.039
<v Speaker 1>Emotionally he was probably bankrupt.

456
00:25:19.480 --> 00:25:21.960
<v Speaker 2>He probably didn't like himself any more than the people

457
00:25:22.000 --> 00:25:26.960
<v Speaker 2>that were around him liked him, because that's what happens

458
00:25:27.720 --> 00:25:28.519
<v Speaker 2>to people like that.

459
00:25:29.960 --> 00:25:31.400
<v Speaker 1>And and so.

460
00:25:33.559 --> 00:25:36.119
<v Speaker 2>He goes and he hears that Jesus is coming to town.

461
00:25:36.160 --> 00:25:39.920
<v Speaker 2>Let's read this in Luke nineteen. It says on his

462
00:25:40.039 --> 00:25:43.119
<v Speaker 2>way to Jerusalem, Jesus had passed through had to pass

463
00:25:43.160 --> 00:25:47.240
<v Speaker 2>through Jericho. There lived a very wealthy man named Zachias,

464
00:25:47.279 --> 00:25:50.240
<v Speaker 2>who supervised all the tax collectors, and he was eager

465
00:25:50.279 --> 00:25:52.200
<v Speaker 2>to see Jesus and kept trying to get a look

466
00:25:52.240 --> 00:25:55.400
<v Speaker 2>at him through the massive crowds. Since Zachias was a

467
00:25:55.440 --> 00:25:58.039
<v Speaker 2>short man and couldn't see over their heads of the people,

468
00:25:58.079 --> 00:25:59.920
<v Speaker 2>over the heads of the people, he ran ahead of

469
00:26:00.160 --> 00:26:03.960
<v Speaker 2>everyone and climbed up a blossoming fig tree to get

470
00:26:03.960 --> 00:26:08.720
<v Speaker 2>a glimpse of Jesus as he passed by. And it

471
00:26:08.799 --> 00:26:12.960
<v Speaker 2>says when Jesus got to that place, he looked up

472
00:26:13.000 --> 00:26:17.799
<v Speaker 2>into the tree and he said, Zachius, hurry down for

473
00:26:17.960 --> 00:26:23.559
<v Speaker 2>I must stay at your house today. And then the

474
00:26:23.680 --> 00:26:27.119
<v Speaker 2>crowd they heard that, and they began to complain, and

475
00:26:27.160 --> 00:26:29.240
<v Speaker 2>it says, look at this, of all the people to

476
00:26:29.240 --> 00:26:31.599
<v Speaker 2>have dinner with, he's going to eat.

477
00:26:31.680 --> 00:26:32.880
<v Speaker 1>At the house of a crook.

478
00:26:35.279 --> 00:26:38.599
<v Speaker 2>And Zachias was amazed over his gracious visit, over the

479
00:26:38.799 --> 00:26:43.279
<v Speaker 2>gracious visit to his home of Jesus, and joyously welcomed him.

480
00:26:43.559 --> 00:26:46.039
<v Speaker 2>And Zachias stood in front of him and said, half

481
00:26:46.079 --> 00:26:48.400
<v Speaker 2>of all that I own I will give to the poor,

482
00:26:48.680 --> 00:26:51.160
<v Speaker 2>and Lord, if I've cheated anyone, I promised to pay

483
00:26:51.160 --> 00:26:55.759
<v Speaker 2>them back four times as much as I've stolen. And

484
00:26:55.799 --> 00:26:59.960
<v Speaker 2>then Jesus says something to him that's absolutely crucial. He says, gee,

485
00:27:00.039 --> 00:27:04.440
<v Speaker 2>Jesus said to him, your repentance shows that today salvation

486
00:27:04.640 --> 00:27:08.319
<v Speaker 2>has come to you and to your household, and that

487
00:27:08.400 --> 00:27:13.039
<v Speaker 2>you are a true son of Abraham.

488
00:27:13.319 --> 00:27:15.160
<v Speaker 1>I want you to catch some things here.

489
00:27:16.319 --> 00:27:19.920
<v Speaker 2>Here's a man who probably thought very little of himself.

490
00:27:21.279 --> 00:27:24.000
<v Speaker 2>Here's a man who others thought very little of as well.

491
00:27:25.000 --> 00:27:28.119
<v Speaker 2>And then one day Jesus is coming to town and

492
00:27:28.160 --> 00:27:30.440
<v Speaker 2>he hears about it, and.

493
00:27:30.400 --> 00:27:31.480
<v Speaker 1>He remembers something.

494
00:27:31.519 --> 00:27:35.319
<v Speaker 2>He begins to think, this man who might be the Messiah,

495
00:27:35.559 --> 00:27:37.480
<v Speaker 2>I want to see him with my own eyes. There

496
00:27:37.559 --> 00:27:40.880
<v Speaker 2>was something in him that began to stir, there was

497
00:27:40.920 --> 00:27:44.000
<v Speaker 2>something in him that began to cry out, I need

498
00:27:44.039 --> 00:27:46.559
<v Speaker 2>to see this man. And he goes and he climbs

499
00:27:46.599 --> 00:27:49.480
<v Speaker 2>into this tree, and this tree. It's an interesting thing.

500
00:27:49.559 --> 00:27:54.279
<v Speaker 2>These sycamore fight as trees the fruit on them. In

501
00:27:54.400 --> 00:27:57.000
<v Speaker 2>order for that fruit to ripen, it has to be

502
00:27:57.319 --> 00:27:58.079
<v Speaker 2>struck open.

503
00:28:00.039 --> 00:28:01.240
<v Speaker 1>It's just like our hearts.

504
00:28:01.279 --> 00:28:04.000
<v Speaker 2>God needs to strike us open sometimes so he can

505
00:28:04.039 --> 00:28:07.039
<v Speaker 2>cause us to mature and come into what he's called

506
00:28:07.119 --> 00:28:10.680
<v Speaker 2>us to. And Zachias goes up there and Jesus strikes

507
00:28:10.720 --> 00:28:16.799
<v Speaker 2>him open. Wow, by his loving kindness. He knew his name,

508
00:28:17.799 --> 00:28:21.799
<v Speaker 2>he recognized him, he saw his weaknesses, and he said, Zachias,

509
00:28:21.920 --> 00:28:24.359
<v Speaker 2>I need you to come down from that tree, look

510
00:28:24.440 --> 00:28:26.559
<v Speaker 2>me in the eye, because today I'm going to dine

511
00:28:26.559 --> 00:28:27.119
<v Speaker 2>at your house.

512
00:28:29.559 --> 00:28:30.799
<v Speaker 1>And he goes to his house.

513
00:28:30.839 --> 00:28:32.920
<v Speaker 2>And the Bible really doesn't tell us much about what

514
00:28:33.039 --> 00:28:35.799
<v Speaker 2>happened behind those closed doors, but.

515
00:28:35.799 --> 00:28:38.039
<v Speaker 1>I can tell you this. I guarantee you.

516
00:28:38.920 --> 00:28:42.720
<v Speaker 2>At that table, at that communion table, they were sitting

517
00:28:42.720 --> 00:28:45.720
<v Speaker 2>there and Jesus said to him, Zachias, you were created

518
00:28:45.839 --> 00:28:49.440
<v Speaker 2>with a soft heart. Zachias, you were created to be

519
00:28:49.480 --> 00:28:52.640
<v Speaker 2>a man who loves people. Zachias. You were created to

520
00:28:52.640 --> 00:28:55.839
<v Speaker 2>be honest, Zachias. You were created to love on your

521
00:28:55.880 --> 00:29:01.319
<v Speaker 2>fellow neighbors. Zachias, I've put something in you that's meant

522
00:29:01.359 --> 00:29:04.240
<v Speaker 2>to influence all of your talent, all of the things

523
00:29:04.240 --> 00:29:06.920
<v Speaker 2>that you've done, all of your abilities, if you'll use

524
00:29:06.960 --> 00:29:09.519
<v Speaker 2>them for me, I'm going to make you the tallest

525
00:29:09.559 --> 00:29:14.359
<v Speaker 2>man in all of the city. You may not be

526
00:29:14.440 --> 00:29:17.599
<v Speaker 2>tall physically, and you might be critical of yourself, but

527
00:29:17.839 --> 00:29:20.279
<v Speaker 2>Jesus is saying, whatever your shortcoming is.

528
00:29:20.279 --> 00:29:23.119
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna make it your PowerPoint right now.

529
00:29:25.200 --> 00:29:28.480
<v Speaker 2>And zach he is all of the sudden, something comes

530
00:29:28.519 --> 00:29:31.400
<v Speaker 2>over him and he stands up in front of Jesus

531
00:29:31.440 --> 00:29:32.200
<v Speaker 2>and he says.

532
00:29:33.000 --> 00:29:36.920
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to become a different person today. And he became.

533
00:29:37.200 --> 00:29:39.640
<v Speaker 2>He transitioned from a heart of stone to a heart

534
00:29:40.640 --> 00:29:44.279
<v Speaker 2>of softness. He transitioned from a miser to a giver.

535
00:29:44.440 --> 00:29:48.720
<v Speaker 2>He transitioned from someone who was hoarding to someone who

536
00:29:48.799 --> 00:29:51.000
<v Speaker 2>was not hoarding. And all of a sudden, I want

537
00:29:51.000 --> 00:29:52.880
<v Speaker 2>to give it all away. I'm going to give back

538
00:29:52.920 --> 00:29:56.480
<v Speaker 2>four times what I've stolen. All of a sudden, he changed,

539
00:29:58.519 --> 00:30:00.839
<v Speaker 2>and God's saying to us today you'll do the same thing.

540
00:30:00.880 --> 00:30:01.519
<v Speaker 1>I'll make you.

541
00:30:01.799 --> 00:30:04.920
<v Speaker 2>I'll make you something you've never dreamed that you could be.

542
00:30:05.160 --> 00:30:08.519
<v Speaker 2>I want to share with you something that the closer

543
00:30:08.559 --> 00:30:13.079
<v Speaker 2>we will draw to Him, the more clearly we will

544
00:30:13.079 --> 00:30:15.359
<v Speaker 2>hear him.

545
00:30:15.480 --> 00:30:16.279
<v Speaker 1>I want to tell you.

546
00:30:17.000 --> 00:30:22.079
<v Speaker 2>Encountering him, you'll begin to hear his voice more clearly.

547
00:30:23.000 --> 00:30:26.799
<v Speaker 2>You'll begin to sense his presence more clearly. You'll begin

548
00:30:26.920 --> 00:30:30.039
<v Speaker 2>to understand what he has going on, what he has

549
00:30:30.119 --> 00:30:33.359
<v Speaker 2>planned for your life, more clearly than you've ever had before.

550
00:30:35.880 --> 00:30:36.359
<v Speaker 1>This morning.

551
00:30:36.400 --> 00:30:39.839
<v Speaker 2>My encouragement to us is that you would consider a

552
00:30:39.960 --> 00:30:44.319
<v Speaker 2>daily encounter with Him, kind of like what Sandy and

553
00:30:44.400 --> 00:30:47.160
<v Speaker 2>I have done, where I could tell you story after

554
00:30:47.279 --> 00:30:53.079
<v Speaker 2>story after story or over the past few years, God

555
00:30:53.079 --> 00:30:59.200
<v Speaker 2>has met us in those morning moments, and sometimes it

556
00:30:59.240 --> 00:31:02.279
<v Speaker 2>becomes a little bit emotional because we begin to see

557
00:31:02.319 --> 00:31:05.400
<v Speaker 2>things that we've never seen before, and it begins to

558
00:31:05.519 --> 00:31:09.440
<v Speaker 2>minister to the places that we've never even knew where.

559
00:31:09.240 --> 00:31:11.799
<v Speaker 1>Problems in our lives, and the Holy Spirit begins to

560
00:31:11.799 --> 00:31:14.759
<v Speaker 1>touch us, and.

561
00:31:14.759 --> 00:31:18.599
<v Speaker 2>God begins to touch your life because maybe in that

562
00:31:18.680 --> 00:31:21.319
<v Speaker 2>lonely place, he says, you know what, if you'll dine

563
00:31:21.359 --> 00:31:24.599
<v Speaker 2>with me today, I'm gonna fill that void.

564
00:31:26.079 --> 00:31:27.359
<v Speaker 1>And maybe you're looking at a.

565
00:31:27.319 --> 00:31:31.079
<v Speaker 2>Health situation and Jesus says, if you'll dine with me today,

566
00:31:31.759 --> 00:31:36.400
<v Speaker 2>I want to heal you physically. Come on, maybe it's

567
00:31:36.480 --> 00:31:39.240
<v Speaker 2>that moment that you're saying, God, I don't know what

568
00:31:39.359 --> 00:31:43.359
<v Speaker 2>to do because my marriage is falling apart, and he says,

569
00:31:43.359 --> 00:31:47.000
<v Speaker 2>he you'll dine with me, I'll begin to heal your marriage.

570
00:31:48.160 --> 00:31:49.359
<v Speaker 1>Because you see, as we.

571
00:31:49.920 --> 00:31:53.039
<v Speaker 2>Dine with him, he says, if you'll dine with me,

572
00:31:54.160 --> 00:31:55.920
<v Speaker 2>I want to heal your heart. I want to touch

573
00:31:55.960 --> 00:32:00.960
<v Speaker 2>your life. I want everything in your world to be

574
00:32:01.079 --> 00:32:05.039
<v Speaker 2>what I've called it to be. If you'll shrut out

575
00:32:05.079 --> 00:32:12.000
<v Speaker 2>the noise of the distractions and focus on me, have

576
00:32:12.160 --> 00:32:17.160
<v Speaker 2>got something for you that you've never had before, through

577
00:32:17.200 --> 00:32:22.359
<v Speaker 2>the chaos, through the difficulties, through all of that.

578
00:32:22.480 --> 00:32:24.640
<v Speaker 1>He doesn't want to compete with those noises.

579
00:32:24.680 --> 00:32:30.240
<v Speaker 2>He wants to completely invade your space and your situation.

580
00:32:32.480 --> 00:32:34.680
<v Speaker 1>He will absolutely change your heart.

581
00:32:36.599 --> 00:32:42.559
<v Speaker 2>Out of Zacheus's life and that moment of encounter, zach

582
00:32:42.599 --> 00:32:47.640
<v Speaker 2>Heias began to see himself completely different. It's interesting that

583
00:32:47.720 --> 00:32:51.400
<v Speaker 2>the Bible says he's stood up. Here's a very short

584
00:32:51.480 --> 00:32:53.880
<v Speaker 2>man who probably hadn't stood up a lot in his

585
00:32:53.960 --> 00:32:58.200
<v Speaker 2>life but that day he stood up a little taller,

586
00:32:58.839 --> 00:33:02.160
<v Speaker 2>a little stronger, but with the power of the Holy Spirit,

587
00:33:02.599 --> 00:33:10.440
<v Speaker 2>and made some serious commitments to the Lord. That day,

588
00:33:10.920 --> 00:33:15.200
<v Speaker 2>he began to view his relationship with the Lord totally

589
00:33:15.759 --> 00:33:16.599
<v Speaker 2>different because.

590
00:33:16.359 --> 00:33:17.680
<v Speaker 1>He hadn't known him until then.

591
00:33:17.720 --> 00:33:20.240
<v Speaker 2>But now, all of a sudden, he's like, here's this

592
00:33:20.359 --> 00:33:24.839
<v Speaker 2>man who's the Messiah who came into my house. I

593
00:33:24.839 --> 00:33:28.480
<v Speaker 2>didn't deserve him to come into my house, but he came.

594
00:33:30.759 --> 00:33:35.240
<v Speaker 2>I hadn't done anything that deserved the honorary, the honor

595
00:33:35.319 --> 00:33:39.359
<v Speaker 2>of his majesty, King Jesus, coming into my house, but

596
00:33:39.440 --> 00:33:39.839
<v Speaker 2>he came.

597
00:33:40.680 --> 00:33:42.680
<v Speaker 1>And you might feel that way about your house.

598
00:33:43.480 --> 00:33:46.000
<v Speaker 2>Maybe your house has just calm, and maybe your house

599
00:33:46.440 --> 00:33:49.839
<v Speaker 2>isn't the biggest, maybe your house isn't the most fallation.

600
00:33:50.000 --> 00:33:52.079
<v Speaker 2>What I'm telling you, if you'll invite him, and he's

601
00:33:52.160 --> 00:33:55.559
<v Speaker 2>going to come in because he sees you as a prince,

602
00:33:55.599 --> 00:33:58.839
<v Speaker 2>he sees you as royalty, he sees you as one

603
00:33:58.880 --> 00:34:01.039
<v Speaker 2>of his own, and he wont to sit down with

604
00:34:01.119 --> 00:34:03.240
<v Speaker 2>you and dine with you and tell you all the

605
00:34:03.279 --> 00:34:06.559
<v Speaker 2>good things that he sees in you, the beauty of

606
00:34:06.599 --> 00:34:11.280
<v Speaker 2>your life, the plans he has, the things he has

607
00:34:11.320 --> 00:34:16.000
<v Speaker 2>for you. If we'll just dine with him. The Bible

608
00:34:16.039 --> 00:34:18.840
<v Speaker 2>tells us that though we were once far off, we

609
00:34:18.920 --> 00:34:21.880
<v Speaker 2>have been brought near by the blood of Christ. Every

610
00:34:21.880 --> 00:34:25.000
<v Speaker 2>time you receive that cup of communion, you're drawing near

611
00:34:25.039 --> 00:34:29.320
<v Speaker 2>to him. Every time. It's not just simply a wafer

612
00:34:29.480 --> 00:34:32.000
<v Speaker 2>and a cup of jews. This is the very dna

613
00:34:32.280 --> 00:34:36.079
<v Speaker 2>of our Lord Jesus entering our bodies. The most powerful

614
00:34:36.159 --> 00:34:39.360
<v Speaker 2>substances on earth are those two elements that you're holding.

615
00:34:41.760 --> 00:34:45.599
<v Speaker 2>That encounter with him will change your relationship with other people.

616
00:34:46.159 --> 00:34:46.559
<v Speaker 1>All of a.

617
00:34:46.559 --> 00:34:49.320
<v Speaker 2>Sudden, You'll begin to see them through the eyes of Jesus.

618
00:34:49.320 --> 00:34:54.199
<v Speaker 2>I'm telling you, it will change your perspective. Prejudices fall

619
00:34:54.239 --> 00:34:59.719
<v Speaker 2>off in light of what Jesus sees. Hatred falls away

620
00:35:00.079 --> 00:35:06.159
<v Speaker 2>in light of what Jesus sees. Disappointment, discouragement, doubt, and unbelief.

621
00:35:06.199 --> 00:35:08.440
<v Speaker 2>They just fall off, and all of a sudden, you

622
00:35:08.480 --> 00:35:10.840
<v Speaker 2>can have relationship with people that you never dreamed of,

623
00:35:10.880 --> 00:35:15.440
<v Speaker 2>and maybe those shattered relationships become restored because of communion

624
00:35:15.760 --> 00:35:32.039
<v Speaker 2>with Jesus. Would you stand with me? This invitation in

625
00:35:32.079 --> 00:35:37.079
<v Speaker 2>revelation still stands today. He's standing today at the door

626
00:35:37.519 --> 00:35:40.320
<v Speaker 2>of our lives knocking, and.

627
00:35:40.239 --> 00:35:42.360
<v Speaker 1>He's saying, if you will open that door.

628
00:35:42.119 --> 00:35:44.239
<v Speaker 2>And invite me in, I want to come in and

629
00:35:44.280 --> 00:35:52.159
<v Speaker 2>dine with you. If you will open that door and

630
00:35:52.239 --> 00:36:00.280
<v Speaker 2>make a commitment of encounter. He's telling us today that

631
00:36:00.360 --> 00:36:05.760
<v Speaker 2>those encounters will change your life. I believe that the

632
00:36:05.800 --> 00:36:08.400
<v Speaker 2>most important time of our day is that time that

633
00:36:08.440 --> 00:36:11.679
<v Speaker 2>we spend with Him. There's nothing more important for your

634
00:36:11.760 --> 00:36:15.039
<v Speaker 2>day than be able to sit with Jesus and have

635
00:36:15.079 --> 00:36:18.360
<v Speaker 2>that encounter. And I promise you, if you'll set aside

636
00:36:18.360 --> 00:36:20.880
<v Speaker 2>some time in the mornings, and I challenge you to

637
00:36:20.920 --> 00:36:24.519
<v Speaker 2>do this tomorrow, just set some time aside, take two minutes,

638
00:36:24.679 --> 00:36:26.760
<v Speaker 2>play a worship song. I don't care what you do,

639
00:36:26.920 --> 00:36:29.599
<v Speaker 2>but focus on Him for two minutes, and I tell

640
00:36:29.639 --> 00:36:33.000
<v Speaker 2>you it will change your life. It will change your day.

641
00:36:33.039 --> 00:36:35.880
<v Speaker 2>And I guarantee you when you go to work tomorrow,

642
00:36:36.000 --> 00:36:39.800
<v Speaker 2>you're gonna see people, You're gonna see situations totally different.

643
00:36:40.079 --> 00:36:42.400
<v Speaker 2>And all of a sudden, as you do this every

644
00:36:42.480 --> 00:36:45.239
<v Speaker 2>day and you make this encounter a part of your life.

645
00:36:44.960 --> 00:36:46.320
<v Speaker 1>It does not have to be hard.

646
00:36:46.360 --> 00:36:50.320
<v Speaker 2>I'm telling you, pretty soon, when he begins to encounter

647
00:36:50.400 --> 00:36:54.199
<v Speaker 2>with you, all of the sudden, that encounter becomes the

648
00:36:54.280 --> 00:36:57.039
<v Speaker 2>thing you look forward to the most every single day

649
00:36:57.320 --> 00:37:01.920
<v Speaker 2>of your life. And as you encounter him and you

650
00:37:02.000 --> 00:37:06.519
<v Speaker 2>begin to share with him your deepest, darkest concerns or

651
00:37:06.559 --> 00:37:10.320
<v Speaker 2>your greatest victories, he's there to meet you, and he

652
00:37:10.400 --> 00:37:12.679
<v Speaker 2>has victories to share with you too.

653
00:37:14.039 --> 00:37:15.519
