Speaker 1: This is Pastor Rick's Daily Hope, the audio broadcast ministry
Speaker 1: of Pastor Rick Warren. Today we continue in a series
Speaker 1: called Better Together. In this series, Rick takes us through
Speaker 1: First Corinthians chapter thirteen and shows us how to cultivate deep,
Speaker 1: meaningful relationships with the people around us. In just a
Speaker 1: few moments, we're going to tell you how you can
Speaker 1: get a copy of Pastor Rick's book called God's Power
Speaker 1: to Change Your Life. In it, you'll discover how God
Speaker 1: provides the power you need to take you from where
Speaker 1: you are to where you want to be. Find out
Speaker 1: more by going to Pastorick dot com, or by texting
Speaker 1: the word daily to eight hundred, six hundred five thousand
Speaker 1: and four while you listen to today's message, that's Pastorick
Speaker 1: dot com or the word daily to eight hundred, six
Speaker 1: hundred five thousand and four. Right now, here's Pastor Rick
Speaker 1: Warren with part. You have a message called why we
Speaker 1: need each Other?
Speaker 2: He Bruce ten.
Speaker 3: Let us not give up the habit of meeting together.
Speaker 3: Notice it's a habit, something you do all the time.
Speaker 3: Let us not give up the habit of meeting together. Instead,
Speaker 3: let us encourage one another, he says, you know, you're
Speaker 3: created for community, and I want you to encourage each
Speaker 3: other by meeting together.
Speaker 2: Now that verse, he's not talking.
Speaker 3: About what we're doing right now. This is not a community, folks.
Speaker 3: This is a crowd. It's a quite large crowd, okay.
Speaker 3: And you can't encourage each other here, you know, we can't.
Speaker 3: You can't even get to talk to very many people.
Speaker 3: There's just too many people. This can only be done
Speaker 3: in a small group.
Speaker 2: You know. Can you be in a crowd and be lonely? Sure?
Speaker 2: This last week I was in Manhattan.
Speaker 3: I had to go buy a coat for a TV
Speaker 3: show I was going to be on, and so I
Speaker 3: walked out by myself. I was in one hundred thousand people,
Speaker 3: but it still felt very lonely because I didn't know anybody.
Speaker 3: So it has nothing to do with the size. It's
Speaker 3: talking about getting together with people who encourage you. Would
Speaker 3: you write this down. Community is God's answer to loneliness.
Speaker 3: Community is God's answer to loneliness, and we all need
Speaker 3: a place where we can practice love.
Speaker 2: It's what the world needs. We need to learn how
Speaker 2: to love now.
Speaker 3: The Bible says that I've got to have other people
Speaker 3: in my life as I'm walking through life, I need
Speaker 3: other people to grow. Would you write that down? I
Speaker 3: can't grow without others. The Bible is very clear about this.
Speaker 3: I cannot grow without other people in my life. Why
Speaker 3: because life is about relationships, not about achievement. God is
Speaker 3: love and he wants me to learn to love him
Speaker 3: and love others. Those are the two greatest lessons in life.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 3: The Bible gets very specific about this and one Corinthians fourteen.
Speaker 3: I love this in the message paraphrase, it's pretty clear.
Speaker 3: It says when you gather, When you gather, each one
Speaker 3: of you be prepared with something useful for all.
Speaker 2: Sing a hymn, teach a lesson, tell.
Speaker 3: A story, lead a prayer, provide an insight, take your turn,
Speaker 3: with no one person taking over.
Speaker 2: That way, you all learn from each other.
Speaker 3: Question does that sound like something we do here on
Speaker 3: Sunday morning?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 3: No, I don't stand up here and say, anybody got
Speaker 3: a poem? You know what happened to you this week?
Speaker 3: Who has a prayer request? Who learned something from God
Speaker 3: this week? Who needs to be prayer? And we're too
Speaker 3: big to do that. This can only happen in a
Speaker 3: small group. And that's why to be a healthy believer,
Speaker 3: you need large group worship and small group fellowship, temple
Speaker 3: courts and house to house. And that's why in our
Speaker 3: church we ask everybody to come on a weekend service
Speaker 3: and be in a small group. If you're only getting
Speaker 3: half of that, and you're only getting half of the
Speaker 3: benefit of this church, you need to walk through life
Speaker 3: in a small group of believers. Now, why we'll look
Speaker 3: at the next verse Phesians four. As each part talking
Speaker 3: about the body of Christ. As each part does its work,
Speaker 3: it helps the other parts grow. So Christ's whole body
Speaker 3: is healthy and growing.
Speaker 2: And read it with me. Full of love.
Speaker 3: That's what God wants in your life, and he wants
Speaker 3: for all of us. He wants us to be healthy
Speaker 3: and growing and full of love. And that's my prayer
Speaker 3: for you as your pastor. I want you to be healthy,
Speaker 3: and I want you to be growing, and I want
Speaker 3: you to be full of love.
Speaker 2: Now, there's only one way you can do that.
Speaker 3: You've got to get with other Christians who can walk
Speaker 3: through life with you. You see, you can't learn community
Speaker 3: without being in a community. Not a crowd, but in
Speaker 3: a community. The Bible says this in.
Speaker 2: One Peter four nine.
Speaker 3: Open your homes to each other without what complaining?
Speaker 2: H what's your complaint? What's your excuse for not opening
Speaker 2: up your own? Well, my home is dirty, Well clean
Speaker 2: it up.
Speaker 3: Okay, just clean it up, all right, listen, that's a
Speaker 3: real easy thing. Okay, Well my home isn't big enough.
Speaker 3: Can you put three people in it? Then you can
Speaker 3: have a group.
Speaker 2: The Bible says, where two or more gathered in my name,
Speaker 2: I'm there in the midst of them.
Speaker 3: You say, well, you know what I don't like my neighbors, Well,
Speaker 3: don't invite them. I'm not telling you to invite people
Speaker 3: you don't like. Invite the people you do like. You
Speaker 3: don't have to invite people. Invite your neighbor friends, invite
Speaker 3: your coworkers, your family.
Speaker 2: You don't just get some.
Speaker 3: People, he said, Well, nobody would really want to come
Speaker 3: to my house and study this?
Speaker 2: Oh really? Really?
Speaker 3: You see, everybody has a longing for belonging. Everybody deep
Speaker 3: in the human spirit is a longing for belonging. It's
Speaker 3: why the worst kind of punishment is solitary confinement. We're
Speaker 3: made for relationships. God wired us that way, and that's
Speaker 3: why people will join all kinds of stupid causes just
Speaker 3: because they want to belong. Listen, the people in your
Speaker 3: neighborhood would love to come to your house. Let me
Speaker 3: give you an example of this. Two years ago when
Speaker 3: we did forty days of Purpose, and I on the
Speaker 3: day we started, like today, I handed out a little card,
Speaker 3: a little invitation card, and I said, you know what,
Speaker 3: I want you to give this card to somebody that
Speaker 3: you know who doesn't go to church anywhere or doesn't
Speaker 3: have any knowledge of the love of God, and you
Speaker 3: invite them to your small group.
Speaker 2: And in one week you did this.
Speaker 3: In one week, we went from eight thousand people in
Speaker 3: small groups to twenty four thousand in small groups.
Speaker 2: Don't tell listen, your neighbors are more willing to come
Speaker 2: than you're willing to invite them. They are.
Speaker 3: So that's the first reason we need a group. We
Speaker 3: need each other because we need people to walk with us.
Speaker 3: Number two, I also need others to work with me.
Speaker 3: I need people to work with me. Did you know
Speaker 3: that the Bible says God puts you on earth to
Speaker 3: do a certain work that only you can do. Ephesians
Speaker 3: two ten says this God made us to do good
Speaker 3: works which he planned in advance for us to live
Speaker 3: our lives doing. Before you were even born, God decided
Speaker 3: the talents, he was going to give you, the natural abilities,
Speaker 3: he was going to give you the background. He even
Speaker 3: chose where you would be born, who your parents would be,
Speaker 3: when you would be born, and all of this because
Speaker 3: He has a purpose for your life. And part of
Speaker 3: that purpose is He has some work for you to do. Now,
Speaker 3: anytime you use your talents or your abilities to help
Speaker 3: somebody else, there's a word for that. It's called ministry
Speaker 3: or service. And all of us are ministers, not pastors. Ministers.
Speaker 3: What that means is when you use your gifts and
Speaker 3: what God wis you to be to help others, you're
Speaker 3: doing what God brought you to do.
Speaker 2: He says, these are your good works.
Speaker 3: Now, remember we've talked about this many times that life
Speaker 3: on earth is practice for eternity. You get one hundred
Speaker 3: years at the most on earth, you get trillions of
Speaker 3: years in heaven, and in heaven you're gonna do four things.
Speaker 3: And one of the things you're gonna do in heaven
Speaker 3: is you're gonna serve God. And so what God wants
Speaker 3: you to do while you're here on earth, spend some
Speaker 3: of that time practicing, practicing serving, and so he says,
Speaker 3: I want you to learn to serve. I want you
Speaker 3: to do these good works, but I don't want you
Speaker 3: to do them by yourself. You see, in heaven, when
Speaker 3: you get there, everybody's going to work, but we'll all
Speaker 3: each just have a little peace, so you'll never get tired.
Speaker 3: You're not gonna be overworked or overloaded in heaven because
Speaker 3: God will give you just a little peace to do,
Speaker 3: but everybody will do their part and it'll all get done.
Speaker 3: What happens here on earth, though, is you're worn out,
Speaker 3: You're exhausted, You're a burnout. Some of you came to
Speaker 3: church exhausted. Why because you're trying to do it all
Speaker 3: and you're trying to do it all by yourself.
Speaker 1: You're listening to Pastor Rick's Daily Hope. Rick will be
Speaker 1: back in just a moment with the rest of today's lesson.
Speaker 1: If you've missed any part of today's teaching, you can
Speaker 1: listen online anytime at Pastorick dot com. That's pastorick dot com.
Speaker 4: What does it take to become more loving, live more peacefully,
Speaker 4: develop patience, have self control, Pastor Rick says throughout all
Speaker 4: the years he's been a pastor, the number one question
Speaker 4: he's been asked is why can't I change? People want
Speaker 4: to change, but they're stuck. Maybe you feel that way too.
Speaker 4: In his book God's Power to Change Your Life, Rick
Speaker 4: lays the groundwork for personal transformation, then offers biblical insights
Speaker 4: and simple steps for ten areas of growth that can
Speaker 4: take you from where you are to where you want
Speaker 4: to be. This book connects you with the power to
Speaker 4: actually make the changes you long to make. And as
Speaker 4: you apply the truth of God's word by the power
Speaker 4: of His Spirit, your life will change. You'll move out
Speaker 4: of your rid and get on track with God's wonderful
Speaker 4: purposes for your life. And today, when you give a
Speaker 4: gift to Daily Hope to help take the Hope of
Speaker 4: Jesus to people everywhere, We'll send you a copy of
Speaker 4: God's Power to Change Your Life. Just go to Pastororrick
Speaker 4: dot com right now to get your copy, or you
Speaker 4: can call eight hundred and six hundred five zero zero four,
Speaker 4: that's Pastorick dot com. Or call eight hundred six hundred
Speaker 4: five zero zero four and be sure to let us
Speaker 4: know which station you heard us on. Thank you so much,
Speaker 4: for your support.
Speaker 1: Now let's get back to today's lesson. Here on Pastor
Speaker 1: Rick's daily hope.
Speaker 3: You see in heaven when you get there, everybody's going
Speaker 3: to work, but we'll all each just have a little piece,
Speaker 3: so you'll never get tired. You're not gonna be overworked
Speaker 3: or overloaded in heaven because God will give you just
Speaker 3: a little piece to do, but everybody will do their
Speaker 3: part and it'll all get done. What happens here on earth, though,
Speaker 3: is you're worn out, you're exhausted, you're burnout. Some of
Speaker 3: you came to church exhausted. Why because you're trying to
Speaker 3: do it all, and you're trying to do it all
Speaker 3: by yourself, and that's why you're worn out. God never
Speaker 3: meant for you to go through life walking alone or
Speaker 3: working alone. You need to be in a relationship with
Speaker 3: others who help you get done what you need to do.
Speaker 3: Otherwise you're going to be worn out and fatigued all
Speaker 3: the time. Now, God tells us in the Bible why
Speaker 3: we're supposed to work together. Look at the next verse
Speaker 3: in Ecclesiastes. For two people are better than one because
Speaker 3: they get more done.
Speaker 2: Read it with me.
Speaker 3: Would you by working together. They get more done by
Speaker 3: working together. Now everybody knows this show is get more
Speaker 3: done as a team than you do as an individual.
Speaker 3: It's also a whole lot more fun. It's also less tiring,
Speaker 3: and you learn to cooperate together. There's all kinds of
Speaker 3: benefits to working together, you know. In the last twelve days,
Speaker 3: I was on a speaking tour on the East Coast,
Speaker 3: and I spoke in eleven different cities in twelve days,
Speaker 3: and it was up and down in a plane for
Speaker 3: the last twelve days. We started a week ago. On
Speaker 3: a week ago on Friday to Washington, d C. I
Speaker 3: flew to Washington, d C. Where I spoke at the Pentagon.
Speaker 3: Spoke twice there, once to a general's Bible study had
Speaker 3: sixty seven generals in it, and then another to the
Speaker 3: employees of the Pentagon. Then we left the Pentagon and
Speaker 3: we flew to Philadelphia, where we had meetings there. We
Speaker 3: went from Philadelphia to West Point where I spoke to
Speaker 3: the four thousand cadets at West Point, and then we
Speaker 3: went from West Point to New York City and a
Speaker 3: place after play. Well, I would have been worn out
Speaker 3: if I hadn't taken a team with me. We then
Speaker 3: went to Chattanooga, where one hundred and seventy churches in
Speaker 3: that one city did forty days of Purpose altogether. And
Speaker 3: it was citywide and had fifty thousand people going through it,
Speaker 3: and they put up billboards all over town it said
Speaker 3: got Purpose. And then we went to Nashville and I
Speaker 3: spoke about six thousand mothers of preschoolers there, and then
Speaker 3: Liberty University, and then I spoke at Annapolis the Naval Academy,
Speaker 3: and stopped by Billy Graham's house at High and came home.
Speaker 2: Now I would have been worn out.
Speaker 3: I wouldn't have been here this weekend if I had
Speaker 3: had it all depended on me. That's just overwhelming, that
Speaker 3: kind of a schedule. But I took a team with me,
Speaker 3: and every time that plane hit the ground, each of
Speaker 3: us knew what we had to do. Nobody is good
Speaker 3: at everything. Would you agree with that? Nobody's good at everything?
Speaker 3: And so we need each other. And so you put
Speaker 3: people around you compensate for your weaknesses, who are strong
Speaker 3: in areas you're not good at. And I came home
Speaker 3: from that, I wasn't tired. I went I went to bed,
Speaker 3: got up next on th at six thirty and went
Speaker 3: back to work. Why because when you share together, it
Speaker 3: lightens the load. You know, when we were at West Point,
Speaker 3: they showed us a system that feeds four thousand cadets
Speaker 3: in fifteen minutes. Imagine that, and they do it three
Speaker 3: times a day, feed four thousand cadets in fifteen minutes.
Speaker 2: How in the world they do that. Everybody has a role,
Speaker 2: with butter.
Speaker 3: Just seeing if you're listening, everybody has a role to play.
Speaker 3: Everybody has a part, and it's all like clockwork.
Speaker 2: Bam bam bam.
Speaker 3: Everybody has a part, and if you do little bits
Speaker 3: of piece, it can all get done. The reason why
Speaker 3: you're exhausted you're trying to do it all yourself. You know,
Speaker 3: some people fall for what I call them Mother Teresa syndrome.
Speaker 3: And that's the idea that the lone person goes out
Speaker 3: to change the world all by themselves. That doesn't even
Speaker 3: Mother Teresa didn't do that. She had an army of
Speaker 3: people helping her. You've heard me say before, snowflakes are frail,
Speaker 3: but if enough of them stick together, they can stop traffic. Now, individually,
Speaker 3: I can't make that big a difference in the world,
Speaker 3: And individually you can't make that big difference in the world.
Speaker 3: But together, you know, in this church we got eighty
Speaker 3: two thousand snowflakes. That's a lot of snow, and that
Speaker 3: can make some significant difference. Together, we can make a
Speaker 3: difference if everybody does just a little, a little would
Speaker 3: you write this down? Community is God's answer to fatigue.
Speaker 3: If you're tired, it's because you don't have the relationships
Speaker 3: built in to support you that you need in what
Speaker 3: God has called you to do. As have you ever
Speaker 3: watch on TV or maybe the movie Witness where Amish
Speaker 3: build a barn together.
Speaker 2: They do it in a day. It's amazing.
Speaker 3: I mean just you know, the whole community shows up
Speaker 3: and where there was nothing, at the end of the day,
Speaker 3: there's a barn standing what everybody has a little part
Speaker 3: to play.
Speaker 2: Now. The Bible says this in Galatians six'.
Speaker 3: Ten every time we get the, chance let us work
Speaker 3: for the benefit of all THAT'S i need others to
Speaker 3: work with, me starting with the people closest to us
Speaker 3: in the community of. Faith what's the community of, faith
Speaker 3: it's our church. FAMILY i need people to walk with
Speaker 3: me through, life AND i need people to work with
Speaker 3: me through. Life BUT i also number, THREE i need
Speaker 3: others to watch.
Speaker 2: Out for me in, life to watch out for.
Speaker 3: Them i'm talking about people who defend, me who'll stand
Speaker 3: up for, me who'll protect, me who will help you
Speaker 3: keep me staying on, Track who will you, know watch my?
Speaker 3: Backside who'll warn? Me we all need this because we
Speaker 3: all have blind. Spots The bible says In filippians two,
Speaker 3: four look out for one another's, interests not just your.
Speaker 3: Own if you want a counterculture, verse that's, it because In,
Speaker 3: america the general idea is it's all about. Me it's
Speaker 3: all about my, needs my interest my, wants my, desires my.
Speaker 3: Ambitions the rest you forget. YOU i live for, myself
Speaker 3: forget everybody. Else this one, says don't just look out
Speaker 3: for your own, interests look out for others. Too have
Speaker 3: you ever seen these neighborhood watch? Signs sometimes you see
Speaker 3: them out in an. Area that's a sign of. Community it,
Speaker 3: says we watch out for each. Other, here we're looking
Speaker 3: out for each. Other my guess, is if you went
Speaker 3: on vacation this summer and you were gone for a
Speaker 3: week or maybe two, weeks you probably told your neighbor
Speaker 3: you were going to be. Gone they, said you, Know
Speaker 3: i'm going to be gone for a couple. Weeks would
Speaker 3: you kind of keep an eye out on my? House
Speaker 3: would you kind of watch out look out for my?
Speaker 3: Stuff because we all want our stuff looked out, for
Speaker 3: and that's a good thing to have your stuff looked,
Speaker 3: after watched out. For but my question is not is
Speaker 3: anybody watching out for your? Stuff is anybody watching out
Speaker 3: for your? Soul because your soul is a whole lot
Speaker 3: more important than your. Stuff is there anybody in your
Speaker 3: life who helps you stay on track? Spiritually is there
Speaker 3: anybody who loves you enough to, Say i'm not gonna
Speaker 3: let you get, Discouraged i'm not gonna let you drop.
Speaker 3: Out i'm not gonna let, you you, know get. Tired
Speaker 3: i'm here with. You let me support. You and who
Speaker 3: encourages you in your spiritual. Life if you don't have
Speaker 3: anybody like, that that's.
Speaker 2: Sad.
Speaker 3: See the fact is we all have blind spots things
Speaker 3: we can't. See you, KNOW i grew this beard this.
Speaker 3: Summer and then my Wife kay, said you, know, honey
Speaker 3: if you're gonna have the, beard you gotta get it
Speaker 3: rid of the flat hair. Thing, Okay so she came
Speaker 3: up with this little spikey do, here you, know like you.
Speaker 3: Know the only problem IS i can't see the back
Speaker 3: and it sticks up straight on the. Back, okay SO
Speaker 3: i don't know if it's sticking up or is it right?
Speaker 3: NOW i don't, Know, OKAY i, mean So i'm not
Speaker 3: making this up last night before and again this. Morning
Speaker 3: i'm getting ready to come. Church i'm starting to walk
Speaker 3: out the. Door, okay go.
Speaker 2: STOP i, thought what DID i? Do she's fixing a little.
Speaker 3: You, know doing a little. THING i would have never known.
Speaker 3: That you, know you get a you get a tail light,
Speaker 3: Out you're never gonna know. It somebody's got to look
Speaker 3: out for. You somebody's gotta say you got a tail light.
Speaker 2: Out.
Speaker 3: Now The bible says That hebrews thirteen to, one keep
Speaker 3: being concerned about each. Other as The lord's followers should
Speaker 3: we should care about each.
Speaker 2: Other we're, Family we're In god's, family.
Speaker 3: And as brothers and, SISTERS i should defend, you and
Speaker 3: you should defend. Me AND i help you stay on,
Speaker 3: track and you help me stay on. Track now it
Speaker 3: says keep being concerned circle the word keep that means
Speaker 3: not just once you're you're vigilant in a, war everybody
Speaker 3: has to take time on sentry duty while everybody else is,
Speaker 3: sleeping somebody stays awake to make sure the enemy isn't crashing. In,
Speaker 3: now since nine to, eleven we've all been a whole
Speaker 3: lot more vigilant for each other with terrorism and things like.
Speaker 3: That but did you know that you have an enemy
Speaker 3: far more destructive than. Terrorists oh, yeah you have a personal.
Speaker 3: Enemy and he hates your guts and he wants to defeat.

Speaker 3: up your. Life satan wants to bring problems in your.
Speaker 3: Life satan wants to ruin your. Relationships he wants to
