Speaker 1: Right now, here's Pastor Rick Warren with part one of
Speaker 1: a message called Building My Life on the Bible.
Speaker 2: Jesus ended the Sermon on the Mound, the most famous
Speaker 2: sermon in the Bible, by telling a story, and he
Speaker 2: says this, There was two guys who went out and
Speaker 2: they both built homes, and they built them on different foundations.
Speaker 2: One guy went out and built his house on solid
Speaker 2: rock on that foundation, and the other guy went out
Speaker 2: and he built his house on sand. His foundation was sand.
Speaker 2: He said, Then unexpected rogue winds came, the trials in
Speaker 2: the storms of life, and a tsunami hit those homes,
Speaker 2: and the winds came, and the floods rose, and the
Speaker 2: winds beat against it, and the rains came down, and
Speaker 2: the house that was built on the shifting foundation of
Speaker 2: sand collapsed. But the house that was built on solid
Speaker 2: rock was able to withstand the storms of life, Jesus
Speaker 2: says in this After saying this story, he says this
Speaker 2: in Matthew seven thirty four twenty four. Everyone who hears
Speaker 2: these words of mine, that's the word of God, that's
Speaker 2: the Bible. Everyone who hears these words of mine and
Speaker 2: puts them into practice, and we're going to teach you
Speaker 2: how to do that, is like that wise man who
Speaker 2: built his house on the rock. So this weekend, to
Speaker 2: start us off, before we get into forty days, I
Speaker 2: want us to look at how do you do that?
Speaker 2: How do you build your life on the Bible so
Speaker 2: that you're building on solid rock, so that when the
Speaker 2: storms and trials and difficulties of your life come inevitably,
Speaker 2: that you'll be able to handle it. If you are
Speaker 2: not built on solid rock, on the foundation of something
Speaker 2: that doesn't shift, you're gonna crumble. You can't build your
Speaker 2: life on the opinions of others. You can't build your
Speaker 2: life on popular opinion. You can't build your life on culture.
Speaker 2: You must build on unchanging truth. If you have a Bible,
Speaker 2: I want you to open to James chapter one, the
Speaker 2: Book of James.
Speaker 3: Chapter one.
Speaker 2: We're going to look at verses nineteen down to verse
Speaker 2: twenty five, and I want to as we prepare for
Speaker 2: forty days in the world, to look at this subject
Speaker 2: on how do I build my life on the Bible.
Speaker 2: The answer to that is to look at the way
Speaker 2: that God wired you and shaped you.
Speaker 3: God gave you.
Speaker 2: Five senses here smell, see, taste, and touch everything you know.
Speaker 2: Everything you experience in life comes through one of those
Speaker 2: five senses. That's how you encounter life, and God wants
Speaker 2: you to learn to encounter the Bible with every one
Speaker 2: of your senses.
Speaker 3: We're going to look at this today.
Speaker 2: And these are all found in James chapter one, verses
Speaker 2: nineteen to twenty five.
Speaker 3: Now, if you're.
Speaker 2: Taking notes, the first way that I build my life
Speaker 2: on the Bible is this, I receive it with my ears.
Speaker 3: I receive it with my ears.
Speaker 2: We're talking about hearing the Bible, hearing the word of God,
Speaker 2: hearing God speak to you. The Bible tells us in
Speaker 2: Romans ten seventeen. Faith comes from hearing the message, and
Speaker 2: the message.
Speaker 3: Is heard through the Word of Christ.
Speaker 2: Every time you hear your pastor teach a message, you
Speaker 2: hear a Bible teacher, you hear a study on the radio.
Speaker 2: When you're hearing the word, your faith is being built.
Speaker 2: You're doing this first one right now. You're listening to
Speaker 2: the Word of God being taught, and that builds your faith.
Speaker 2: Faith comes by hearing the message, and the message comes
Speaker 2: through the Word of Christ. Now let's look and see
Speaker 2: what James says about this. James, Chapter one, verse nineteen.
Speaker 2: Everyone should be quick to listen. Circle that quick to listen,
Speaker 2: slow to speak, and slow to become angry. For man's
Speaker 2: anger does not bring about the righteous life that God desires. Therefore,
Speaker 2: get rid of all moral filth and evil that is
Speaker 2: so prevalent, and humbly accept. Circle that accept the word
Speaker 2: planted in you, which can save you. It is the
Speaker 2: word of God that saves us. If you don't hear
Speaker 2: the good news. You can't be saved. Now, he says,
Speaker 2: be quick to listen. That's using my ears, and he
Speaker 2: says accept the word. So in this passage, it's teaching
Speaker 2: us that I must receive it with my ears. Now,
Speaker 2: this interesting word, accept the word. The word in Greek
Speaker 2: decam i literally is a hospitality term. It means to
Speaker 2: welcome a stranger. It means to welcome the word. We
Speaker 2: welcome you, Lord, we welcome your word. Come on in.
Speaker 2: I'm wide open. It is an attitude of acceptance. And
Speaker 2: if you're going to get the Bible in your life,
Speaker 2: you've got to start with.
Speaker 3: Hey, I'm wide open.
Speaker 2: I got an attitude of acceptance. I welcome the word.
Speaker 2: I accept the word planted in me. Now, it says planet.
Speaker 3: It's interesting.
Speaker 2: Often through the Bible, the scripture is compared to a seed,
Speaker 2: and the seed is the Word of God, and the
Speaker 2: soil is our hearts. The parable of the soler that
Speaker 2: Jesus told teaches this story, and he says that receiving
Speaker 2: the word is actually the seed being planted in your life.
Speaker 3: Now, I'm a gardener.
Speaker 2: In fact, you could call me a farmer, because I
Speaker 2: garden massive scale. And what I do is I've learned
Speaker 2: that you can take the exact same seed and plant
Speaker 2: it in three different locations, and in one you're going
Speaker 2: to get giant tomatoes, In another you're going to get
Speaker 2: little tomatoes, and others you're not going to get anything.
Speaker 2: What's the difference. The difference is not the seed. The
Speaker 2: difference is the soil. The soil must be prepared for
Speaker 2: the seed. You got to mulch it, you got to
Speaker 2: break it up, you got to put some fertilizer in there,
Speaker 2: maybe a little miracle grow if you want to do that.
Speaker 2: You got to get it. The soil has to be prepared.
Speaker 2: This is the same thing for you here to hear God,
Speaker 2: your heart has to be prepared. You see, if you
Speaker 2: come to church and you've got up late, and you
Speaker 2: rushed in and you couldn't find a parking spot, and
Speaker 2: you were all frustrated and it was raining, and you
Speaker 2: got in and you were just really in an irritating mood,
Speaker 2: and they said, okay, God, I'm ready for you.
Speaker 3: Talk to me.
Speaker 2: You're not gonna hear God's voice. You're not in a
Speaker 2: receptive mood. That's why you can take two people to church.
Speaker 2: Sit them side by side, want to walk on and
Speaker 2: goes man, that was powerful. I really that that gave
Speaker 2: me a lot to think about. And the other person going,
Speaker 2: I didn't get anything out of that. What's the difference?
Speaker 2: Heart preparation? Now, for good reception, this passage teaches you
Speaker 2: have to have four attitudes. You remember when televisions used
Speaker 2: to have antenna's on them and you would kind of
Speaker 2: move the antenna's around to get good reception.
Speaker 3: We don't do that anymore now we do. Can you
Speaker 3: hear me? Now? Can you hear me? Now? Can you
Speaker 3: hear me now? Okay?
Speaker 2: And you're looking for good reception in order for you
Speaker 2: to hear God. Now you got to have good reception,
Speaker 2: and the Bible says that's a matter of your herd attitude.
Speaker 2: Write down these four attitudes. First, it says, I must
Speaker 2: be quiet for good reception. To hear God speak to me,
Speaker 2: I've got to be quiet. It says, be quick to
Speaker 2: listen and slow to speak. Now, you know, Kay has
Speaker 2: told me many times, Rick, when you're talking, you're not listening.
Speaker 2: At least I think that's what she said. You gotta
Speaker 2: be quiet. You can't hear God if you're talking Okay,
Speaker 2: number two, I gotta be calm, it says, and slow
Speaker 2: to become angry, be quick to listen to slow to speak,
Speaker 2: slow to become angry.
Speaker 3: Why in the world is it talking about anger?
Speaker 2: We're going to talking about the Bible here because you
Speaker 2: don't hear much when you're angry.
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: Pastor Rick says the Bible isn't meant to just inform us,
Speaker 4: It's meant to transform us. That's why it's so important
Speaker 4: to study God's Word. Maybe you've never studied the Bible
Speaker 4: and you don't even know where to start, or maybe
Speaker 4: read the Bible every day, but you're not getting all
Speaker 4: God has for you out of the time you spend
Speaker 4: with him. That's why Pastor Rick created a very special
Speaker 4: Bible study called forty Days in the Word. This life
Speaker 4: changing resource will ignite your past for God's Word and
Speaker 4: revolutionize your relationship with Jesus. The forty Days in the
Speaker 4: Word Study Kid includes six video sessions on DVD and
Speaker 4: a two hundred and six page, two color workbook. In
Speaker 4: the workbook, you'll find six easy to learn methods for
Speaker 4: reading and meditating on Scripture. These are the very methods
Speaker 4: Pastor Rick uses in his own personal daily quiet time.
Speaker 4: You'll also find interactive journaling pages and Bible verse cards
Speaker 4: with the twenty Bible versus every believer should memorize. There's
Speaker 4: even a special section called how can we know the
Speaker 4: Bible Came from God? And a guide for choosing which
Speaker 4: translation of the Bible is right for you. Will send
Speaker 4: you a copy of the Forty Days in the Word
Speaker 4: Study Kid to say thanks for your gift to help
Speaker 4: more people learn, love and live God's Word through Daily Hope.
Speaker 4: By the way, right now, when you give a gift
Speaker 4: to Daily Hope to help take the Hope of Jesus
Speaker 4: to a hurting world, generous friends of Daily Hope are
Speaker 4: going to match your gift up to fifty thousand dollars.
Speaker 4: But you only have till midnight on June thirtieth to
Speaker 4: make your gift go twice as far. Go to Pastor
Speaker 4: Rick dot com or call eight hundred six hundred at
Speaker 4: five zero zero four, and as a special thank you,
Speaker 4: we'll send you the forty days in the word Bible
Speaker 4: steady Kit. Again, that's Pastor Rick dot com or call
Speaker 4: eight hundred and six hundred at five zero zero four.
Speaker 1: Now let's get back to today's lesson. Here on Pastor
Speaker 1: Rick's Daily Hope.
Speaker 2: You see, if you come to church and you've got
Speaker 2: up late, and you rushed in and you couldn't find
Speaker 2: a parking spot, and you were all frustrated and it
Speaker 2: was raining, and you got in and you were just
Speaker 2: really in an irritating mood. They said, Okay, God, I'm
Speaker 2: ready for you talk to me. You're not gonna hear
Speaker 2: God's voice. You're not in a receptive mood. That's why
Speaker 2: you can take two people to church, them side by side,
Speaker 2: want to walk on and goes man. That was powerful.
Speaker 2: I really that gave me a lot to think about.
Speaker 2: And the other person going, I didn't get anything out
Speaker 2: of that. What's the difference? Heart preparation? Now for good reception,
Speaker 2: this passage teaches you have to have four attitudes. You
Speaker 2: remember when televisions used to have antenna's on them and
Speaker 2: you would kind of move the antenna's around to get
Speaker 2: good reception. We don't do that anymore now we do.
Speaker 2: Can you hear me now? Can you hear me?
Speaker 3: Now? Can you hear me now? Okay?
Speaker 2: And you're looking for good reception in order for you
Speaker 2: to hear God. Now, you got to have good reception,
Speaker 2: and the Bible says that's a matter of your heart attitude.
Speaker 2: Write down these four attitudes. First, it says, I must
Speaker 2: be quiet for good reception to hear God speak to me,
Speaker 2: I've got to be quiet. It says, be quick to
Speaker 2: listen and slow to speak.
Speaker 3: Now.
Speaker 2: You know, Kay has told me many times, Rick, when
Speaker 2: you're talking, you're not listening at least I think that's
Speaker 2: what she said. You gotta be quiet. You can't hear
Speaker 2: God if you're talking.
Speaker 3: Okay.
Speaker 2: Number two, I gotta be calm, it says, and slow
Speaker 2: to become angry. Be quick to listen to to speak
Speaker 2: slow to become angry. Why the world is it talking
Speaker 2: about anger? We're going to talking about the Bible here,
Speaker 2: because you don't hear much when you're angry. We don't
Speaker 2: hear much when we're upset, we don't hear. We can't
Speaker 2: really hear what somebody else is saying. When we are irritated,
Speaker 2: when we're angry, when we're uptight, When you are emotionally upset,
Speaker 2: you're defensive. On the other hand, when you are emotionally relaxed,
Speaker 2: you're quiet and you're calm, you can really hear what
Speaker 2: the other person is saying. And the same thing is
Speaker 2: true in getting into the Bible. You got to be
Speaker 2: quiet and you got to be calm. If you're going
Speaker 2: to let God speak to you in the Bible, you
Speaker 2: can be God. I got five minutes here, talk to
Speaker 2: me really quick.
Speaker 3: D d da da da.
Speaker 2: I gotta go see you later. Frantic, you're gonna you're
Speaker 2: not gonna hear God speak to you. The Bible says,
Speaker 2: be still and know that I am God. My translation
Speaker 2: to that is sit down and shut up, be quiet,
Speaker 2: and be calm. By the way, I read this week
Speaker 2: that listening actually lowers your blood pressure and speaking raises
Speaker 2: your blood pressure. So if you need to lower your
Speaker 2: blood pressure, you ought to do a little bit more listening.
Speaker 2: I need to be calm and I need to be quiet.
Speaker 2: The third thing is I need to be clean. In
Speaker 2: other words, I can't have any junk in my life.
Speaker 2: And he's sin piled up if I expect to hear
Speaker 2: God speak to me. The third thing he says is
Speaker 2: get rid of all moral filth and the evil that
Speaker 2: is so prevalent. He's saying, here, before you do the seeding,
Speaker 2: you gotta do some weeding. In other words, when I
Speaker 2: go out to plant a garden. But I don't just
Speaker 2: go out and start planting seeds. The first thing, I
Speaker 2: break up the soil. I get out all the dirt
Speaker 2: clods and ate all the rocks. I pull out all
Speaker 2: the weeds. I get that soil really ready, so it's clean,
Speaker 2: it's not full of junk. And I get it all
Speaker 2: ready for the soil. And he says, get rid of
Speaker 2: two things. Get rid of filth and get rid of evil.
Speaker 2: That's interesting this word filth in the Greek riperion. You
Speaker 2: know what it is, The word for earwax. Yeah, that's
Speaker 2: the stuff on the end of that que tip. That's gross.
Speaker 2: He says, get rid of all the earwacks. You know
Speaker 2: what he's saying here. The point is, I can't hear
Speaker 2: God If I got junk in my ear, I mentally blocked.
Speaker 3: I can't Is it God never speaks to me?
Speaker 2: Well, you probably got ear wax, emotional, spiritual, mental, ethical earwax.
Speaker 2: You can't hear God because you got junk in your life.
Speaker 3: It plugs up the sound. He says.
Speaker 2: Get rid of the filth, get rid of the evil,
Speaker 2: which is anything we know in our lives that is wrong.
Speaker 2: He says, you get rid of that before you come
Speaker 2: to me. Going back to this gardening thing, I really
Speaker 2: when I garden, I get dirty. I really actually like
Speaker 2: being in the mud, and I like getting muddy all over.
Speaker 2: And the crazy thing is is, after a day of
Speaker 2: you know, gardening and stuff like that and being totally muddy,
Speaker 2: I'll come up and Key goes, you take off all
Speaker 2: those clothes where you're going to come in the house.
Speaker 2: You're not bringing those filthy clothes in my house. Now,
Speaker 2: I think this is totally unreasonable, okay, But she doesn't
Speaker 2: want me tracking across the carpet manure. I don't know why, okay.
Speaker 2: And so she says, you know, you clean this up
Speaker 2: before you can meet with God. You need to take
Speaker 2: out some emotional garbage. You need to take out some
Speaker 2: spiritual garbage. You need to get rid of the stuff
Speaker 2: that stinks in your life. You're not going to hear God.
Speaker 2: If it's if your mind's filled with pornography, or resentment,
Speaker 2: or jealousy or any other junk.
Speaker 3: In your life, you can't hear God.
Speaker 2: Now, how do I take out the garbage?
Speaker 3: Spiritually?
Speaker 2: The Bible calls it confession. Confession simply means to agree
Speaker 2: with God that was wrong. God, You're right and I
Speaker 2: was wrong. When you say that, that's confession. When you
Speaker 2: look at something, Lord, it was wrong for me to
Speaker 2: say that to my kids. It was wrong for me
Speaker 2: to act that way toward those people.
Speaker 3: It was wrong.
Speaker 2: That's called confession. Confession means to speak the same God.
Speaker 2: I just agree with you. You're right and I'm wrong.
Speaker 2: And that's how you clean out the garbage. So I
Speaker 2: get calm, I get quiet, and I get clean. The
Speaker 2: fourth thing I need is I need to be humble. Humble,
Speaker 2: That's the fourth thing he says. He says, humbly accept
Speaker 2: the word planted in you, which can save you.
Speaker 3: And what does it mean? To be humble?
Speaker 2: Means say ready to do whatever God tells me from
Speaker 2: his word. If I come with a prideful attitude, God,
Speaker 2: you tell me what you want me to do, and
Speaker 2: then I'll decide whether I'm going to do it or not.
Speaker 3: That ain't going to work. I come humbly.
Speaker 2: Now, these are the spiritual hearing aids for the first
Speaker 2: way to get God's word in your life. I receive,
Speaker 2: I accept. I receive God's word through my ears. I
Speaker 2: hear it, and I hear it by being calm and
Speaker 2: quiet and clean and humble. Now, that's a good way
Speaker 2: to get the Word of God in your life. But
Speaker 2: if that's the only way, you're not growing very much
Speaker 2: because you forget ninety five percent of what you hear
Speaker 2: within seventy two hours. That's why I always encourage you
Speaker 2: to write take notes, because by Wednesday you would have
Speaker 2: forgotten everything I've said. Basically, So, hearing is a good
Speaker 2: way to get the Word of God in your life,
Speaker 2: but you forget ninety five percent of it. So you've
Speaker 2: got to move to the deeper ways.
Speaker 3: Now.
Speaker 2: The second way to build my life on the Bible
Speaker 2: is to read it with my eyes. I receive it
Speaker 2: with my ears, but I read it with my eyes.
Speaker 3: I read the Bible.
Speaker 2: You cannot grow without reading the Bible. James Chapter one,
Speaker 2: verse twenty two says this down to verse twenty five,
Speaker 2: don't merely listen to the word. In other words, y'ant
Speaker 2: to listen, but don't merely listen to the word, and
Speaker 2: so deceive yourselves, because you're going to forget it.
Speaker 3: Do what it says. Anyone who listens to the word.
Speaker 2: Of God but doesn't do what it says is like
Speaker 2: a man who looks at his face in a mirror.
Speaker 3: Now notice this mirror analogy.
Speaker 2: He says, he looks at his face the reflection in
Speaker 2: a mirror, and after looking himself, he goes away and
Speaker 2: immediately forgets what he looks like. That's what happens a
Speaker 2: lot of times on Sunday. You're here a message, and
Speaker 2: by the time you get to the parking lot, you've
Speaker 2: already forgotten it. He looks in a mirror, looks at himself,
Speaker 2: but then he goes away and immediately forgets what he
Speaker 2: looks like.
Speaker 3: But here's the opposite.
Speaker 2: The man who looks intently into the perfect law that
Speaker 2: gives freedom, the Bible sets us free, and continues to
Speaker 2: do this, not forgetting what he has heard, but doing it.
Speaker 2: He will be blessed in what he does. Now, I
Speaker 2: want you to be blessed. I want you to be
Speaker 2: blessed in ear of your life. I want God's blessing
Speaker 2: on your family, on your work, on your finances, on
Speaker 2: your health. Now, the Bible says, if you will do
Speaker 2: these five things, you will be blessed. So let's go
Speaker 2: back and circle him. Okay, you know we talked about
Speaker 2: the first one. He said listen, but here he says,
Speaker 2: don't merely listen. He says, the man who looks intently.
Speaker 2: Circle looks intently. That's one of the ways you get blessed.
Speaker 2: That's reading the Bible. Then he says and continues to
Speaker 2: do this circle the word continue. That's reviewing the Bible.
Speaker 2: And then he says, not forgetting what he's heard, that's
Speaker 2: remembering the Bible. Circle that one, not forgetting but doing it.
Speaker 2: That's responding to the Bible. He will be blessed in
Speaker 2: what he does. To be blessed, you got to do
Speaker 2: all these So we're going to look at all of
Speaker 2: them today, and we're going to cover him in more
Speaker 2: detail during forty days in the world. But let's look
Speaker 2: at him one at a time. First, it says, the
Speaker 2: person who looks intently, what's he talking about there? He's
Speaker 2: talking about reading the Bible. But when I read it,
Speaker 2: I don't read it speed read it. When I read
Speaker 2: the Bible, I read it and I reflect on it,
Speaker 2: I think about it, I ponder it, I look intently,
Speaker 2: and it says that the person who does this is
Speaker 2: it's like looking in a mirror. You know, many times
Speaker 2: the Bible is compared to a mirror. In scripture, the
Speaker 2: Bible compares itself to a mirror. What's the purpose of
Speaker 2: a mirror? The purpose of a mirror is to evaluate ourselves.
