This week, this week, yes, 10 00:00:48.560 --> 00:00:51.520 today we're gonna be talking about God's greatness. That he 11 00:00:51.600 --> 00:00:55.439 is a great God is found in the Psalm. Actually, 12 00:00:55.479 --> 00:00:58.719 this is the last Psalm that David wrote. This is 13 00:00:58.719 --> 00:01:01.799 the very last Psalm that he wrote personally, Okay, And 14 00:01:01.799 --> 00:01:03.640 and when when you look through it, when you read 15 00:01:03.679 --> 00:01:06.920 through it, Makitano is actually a summary of all of 16 00:01:06.959 --> 00:01:10.480 those in Verse five talked about the glory of God, 17 00:01:11.040 --> 00:01:16.120 Verse nine talks about God's goodness in uh verses ten 18 00:01:16.239 --> 00:01:20.280 to thirteen talks about God's generosity, and in verse eight 19 00:01:20.319 --> 00:01:23.040 talks about a gracious God.

It's it's trying to outdo each other. 31 00:02:02.280 --> 00:02:04.680 And whenever you say about trying to do each other, 32 00:02:04.799 --> 00:02:07.359 I always remember, I don't know if you've did you've 33 00:02:07.400 --> 00:02:14.879 done this before. And Chinky, Chinky chinks remember that, especially 34 00:02:14.879 --> 00:02:17.919 in our staff meetings before when I will tell a story, 35 00:02:18.240 --> 00:02:24.560 Chinky would come up and say, Larry smuggling trying to compete, 36 00:02:24.599 --> 00:02:27.159 trying to committe who's the greatest, who is the greatest 37 00:02:27.159 --> 00:02:30.400 amongst example, n B A, who follows n B A? 38 00:02:31.280 --> 00:02:34.840 Come on, who follows n B A.

No pictures, Attorney Danny Patron, 56 00:03:59.159 --> 00:04:02.639 do not post the picture or we're in the miss universe. 57 00:04:03.039 --> 00:04:07.439 Uh fever right now? Okay, we we already had three 58 00:04:07.479 --> 00:04:11.319 Miss universe. Who's great? Who's the greatest? Is it uh 59 00:04:11.439 --> 00:04:14.879 Gloria Dias nineteen sixty nine.

I remember when my my siblings and 62 00:04:25.800 --> 00:04:30.040 I would try to outdo each other. We would exclaim 63 00:04:30.079 --> 00:04:32.480 from the top of our boys and with passion, and 64 00:04:32.519 --> 00:04:36.399 not only that my mad gesture, but my guest, no, 65 00:04:36.720 --> 00:04:40.199 you're you're, you're, you know, you're you're. I'm infinitely greater. Okay, 66 00:04:40.240 --> 00:04:45.120 I'm gazillion times we we invent words like gazillion times better. Okay, MA, 67 00:04:46.040 --> 00:04:50.319 let me I know I'm greater. Gonna buy your loser, 68 00:04:50.360 --> 00:04:57.680 I'm greater. But really, can anyone or anything compare? Compare, okay, 69 00:04:57.839 --> 00:05:01.639 compare to the greatness of who God is? Can anyone, 70 00:05:02.279 --> 00:05:06.160 no one, no nothing, love this picture? About this water? Well? 71 00:05:06.959 --> 00:05:09.519 We can actually put can Can we actually put an 72 00:05:09.680 --> 00:05:13.519 entire ocean in a bucket? Can you do that? A 73 00:05:13.600 --> 00:05:16.480 bucket can never contain the water of the ocean. It 74 00:05:16.480 --> 00:05:19.000 can It can only contain a part of it, a 75 00:05:19.120 --> 00:05:23.800 small point zero zero zero zero zero zero percent part 76 00:05:23.879 --> 00:05:26.800 of it, but not it's it's totality. In the same way, 77 00:05:26.839 --> 00:05:29.439 the greatest of God is too great for a band 78 00:05:29.519 --> 00:05:35.600 to comprehend. It's too great. It's something that unfathomable in 79 00:05:35.720 --> 00:05:42.000 the spelling. The other day I went to a mind museum, 80 00:05:42.639 --> 00:05:44.439 and whenever I go to mind visum this actually my 81 00:05:44.519 --> 00:05:47.399 third or fourth time. It's it's mind buggling. How God 82 00:05:47.519 --> 00:05:50.360 could create all of this? Remember all of this God created. 83 00:05:50.759 --> 00:05:52.920 If it's up to me to create a human being, 84 00:05:53.240 --> 00:05:57.519 that going call a stick people stick lang. The complexity 85 00:05:57.560 --> 00:06:01.160 of a human the d n A. It's each person comes, 86 00:06:01.720 --> 00:06:05.000 everything comes from from an atom. Okay, he de said, 87 00:06:05.000 --> 00:06:09.680 You're like, yeah, okay, atom yan atom, cell? How How? 88 00:06:09.759 --> 00:06:09.879 How? 89 00:06:10.000 --> 00:06:12.560 How? How God can be so intricate and no one 90 00:06:13.120 --> 00:06:25.399 is the same, no person is the same. Ryan. It's 91 00:06:26.519 --> 00:06:30.879 that's how great he is. His mind is so infinite 92 00:06:31.600 --> 00:06:37.079 that compared to ours where we're paral. Remember how David 93 00:06:37.160 --> 00:06:40.680 says it in verse three. Great is the Lord and 94 00:06:40.879 --> 00:06:45.439 greatly to be praised, and his greatness is unsearchable. It's unsearchable. 95 00:06:46.199 --> 00:06:49.879 Unsearchable means here it means. It doesn't mean you cannot 96 00:06:49.959 --> 00:06:53.839 find it. You cannot find God. But because of his greatness, 97 00:06:53.959 --> 00:06:56.680 because how how great he is, you can't even think 98 00:06:57.639 --> 00:07:01.480 they our finite mind cannot comepprehend how great he is. 99 00:07:02.199 --> 00:07:06.800 Unsearchable doesn't mean that that he's nowhere, but unsearchable because 100 00:07:06.800 --> 00:07:12.720 he's everywhere. He's every his omnipresent. Everywhere you go, he's there. 101 00:07:13.519 --> 00:07:16.800 Even though you try to hide, he can see you. 102 00:07:16.959 --> 00:07:22.839 He's there with you. Not only his omni omnipresent, his omnission. 103 00:07:23.079 --> 00:07:26.560 He knows everything. Whereas us we try to know God, 104 00:07:26.680 --> 00:07:29.279 we cannot comprehend. We try to know and and do 105 00:07:29.439 --> 00:07:33.040 something about certain situations. We we we cause problems, we 106 00:07:33.399 --> 00:07:36.680 can't even solve problems. But then if you look at him, 107 00:07:37.720 --> 00:07:40.439 the simplicity in his mind, and that only had to 108 00:07:40.480 --> 00:07:43.199 do is to trust him. Why because he's omniscient, he 109 00:07:43.439 --> 00:07:47.000 knows it, He has a peace, will is perfect and 110 00:07:47.079 --> 00:07:49.160 pleasing for you and I. All we have to do 111 00:07:49.279 --> 00:07:52.759 is just obey and passing that Glorian presence and just 112 00:07:53.000 --> 00:07:57.120 enjoy his very presence in our life. And one character 113 00:07:57.240 --> 00:08:00.759 is I love about our great God. His is his omnipotent. 114 00:08:01.279 --> 00:08:05.800 He's all powerful. That means I'm sorry. That means whatever 115 00:08:05.959 --> 00:08:09.439 situation is where you are right now, Yes you're weak, 116 00:08:09.600 --> 00:08:13.000 that's good. When you're weak. God is strong, He's therefore 117 00:08:13.680 --> 00:08:17.040 he will never leave you nor forsaken. Powerful that if 118 00:08:17.079 --> 00:08:19.319 you put our full faith in him, you will not 119 00:08:19.439 --> 00:08:23.759 be shaken. He is our strong power. He's our anchor 120 00:08:24.560 --> 00:08:27.920 if there's an earthquake, if there's a tsunami, anything that 121 00:08:28.040 --> 00:08:31.800 comes your way. Because we have a powerful God, powerful 122 00:08:31.879 --> 00:08:35.279 great God, you will not be shaken. Yo. That is 123 00:08:35.320 --> 00:08:38.440 why David wrote that we are to praise him every day, 124 00:08:38.639 --> 00:08:42.960 not only every day, but forever and ever. Forever and 125 00:08:43.039 --> 00:08:47.159 ever means every last thing. Forever and ever means until 126 00:08:47.279 --> 00:08:50.559 the day you die and you're with him. The Bible 127 00:08:50.639 --> 00:08:53.080 said that when we are in heaven, it's twenty four 128 00:08:53.120 --> 00:08:56.519 to seven praise, twenty four seven praising. Why because you're 129 00:08:56.559 --> 00:08:59.799 in his very presence. Verse one too said I will 130 00:09:00.080 --> 00:09:03.120 stall you, my God and King, and bless your name 131 00:09:03.200 --> 00:09:06.279 forever and ever. Every day I will bless you and 132 00:09:06.399 --> 00:09:12.240 praise your name forever and ever, through eternity, everlasting. On 133 00:09:12.360 --> 00:09:23.240 a highlight extoll ext all means here magnify. Pastor didn't comprehend. 134 00:09:23.240 --> 00:09:26.519 He's everywhere, He's so vast, he's so huge. Why do 135 00:09:26.639 --> 00:09:31.840 we need to magnify him? Magnify here is means is 136 00:09:31.919 --> 00:09:36.960 your life magnifying? How great God is totally different. Magnify 137 00:09:37.039 --> 00:09:41.799 here means magnify His greatness through your life, through our 138 00:09:41.919 --> 00:09:44.720 lives as a church, as we're living, as we're living 139 00:09:44.759 --> 00:09:47.919 as a church. Are we magnifying His greatness or we're 140 00:09:48.000 --> 00:09:52.399 magnifying just sometimes great? Sometimes not so great means that 141 00:09:54.360 --> 00:10:02.279 so not so great. Close community, Lord d continual praise 142 00:10:02.759 --> 00:10:05.919 and ending, everlasting, made to magnify our life. Sometimes you know, 143 00:10:06.159 --> 00:10:10.519 you know what happened, because sometimes we magnify our situation, 144 00:10:10.960 --> 00:10:14.679 whether it be problems, whether it be challenges, whether it 145 00:10:14.799 --> 00:10:18.440 be trials. Sometimes it can come in the form of sickness, 146 00:10:19.159 --> 00:10:22.360 sometimes when you feel like you're in lack, and then 147 00:10:22.440 --> 00:10:25.159 your focus is on you rather on God. What happens 148 00:10:26.200 --> 00:10:29.720 we fail to magnify God. What happens is that when 149 00:10:29.799 --> 00:10:36.639 we magnify our circumstances, God becomes smaller, smaller and lucky. 150 00:10:36.639 --> 00:10:39.960 And to magnify your situation that in choose to focus 151 00:10:40.039 --> 00:10:44.240 on God, not on our circumstances. Magnify the Lord in 152 00:10:44.399 --> 00:10:47.240 our lives every day, praise him every day that he 153 00:10:47.399 --> 00:10:50.440 is big, that he is great, and then our problems 154 00:10:51.159 --> 00:10:54.840 won't and should not come in that way, not in 155 00:10:54.919 --> 00:10:58.440 a way. Can we do that right now? I mean, who, 156 00:10:59.440 --> 00:11:02.080 what is is being magnified now in your life? I 157 00:11:02.120 --> 00:11:05.840 don't know what situation you're in, but is it the 158 00:11:05.960 --> 00:11:09.519 Lord being magnified? Not just not just your life inside 159 00:11:09.559 --> 00:11:12.600 the church, but the life that you're living twenty four 160 00:11:12.639 --> 00:11:15.519 seven when you're out there, if you're if you're in 161 00:11:15.559 --> 00:11:18.840 the business place, what what do you what do people 162 00:11:18.960 --> 00:11:21.440 see in you? Do you just do it? Do you 163 00:11:21.519 --> 00:11:24.440 have like a split personality? I'm good inside the church, 164 00:11:24.480 --> 00:11:27.039 but I'm outside. I can't even magnify. I can't even smile. 165 00:11:28.799 --> 00:11:32.600 I remember there was a story that the person that 166 00:11:32.679 --> 00:11:35.399 I used to meet before, every time he every Wednesday, 167 00:11:35.399 --> 00:11:37.559 he would come and meet me and he would say, 168 00:11:37.600 --> 00:11:39.720 you know, I need to be recharged. Why you know 169 00:11:39.840 --> 00:11:42.879 when when whenever it's like the middle of the week, 170 00:11:43.000 --> 00:11:45.600 I feel weak. There's so many things in the office, 171 00:11:45.679 --> 00:11:47.720 in the house, so I need to recharge. And I 172 00:11:47.759 --> 00:11:50.759 told him, you know what, I'm not a charger. I 173 00:11:50.960 --> 00:11:53.320 am not a charger. Victory Group is not a charger. 174 00:11:53.440 --> 00:11:54.840 When you come to me and pray, when you read 175 00:11:54.840 --> 00:11:57.519 your Bible, it's not a charger. You have to be charged. 176 00:11:57.519 --> 00:12:01.200 You're already complete, You're already charged by the Holy Spirit. 177 00:12:01.360 --> 00:12:04.679 Holy Spirit is already in you. You're already more than conquered. 178 00:12:05.360 --> 00:12:08.320 Whatever you face, you're ready to face it. There's no 179 00:12:08.440 --> 00:12:11.360 highs and lows. If the presence of God is thick 180 00:12:11.440 --> 00:12:15.679 in your life, He's there in your life. I remember David, 181 00:12:15.759 --> 00:12:20.600 how David wrote this, and we highlight David all his victories, 182 00:12:20.639 --> 00:12:24.559 how he's a great warriors, the wars that he won, 183 00:12:25.039 --> 00:12:28.799 the enemies that he defeated, and then the possession he's 184 00:12:28.840 --> 00:12:31.360 a king, he's a rich man, all the wealth. And 185 00:12:31.440 --> 00:12:34.360 then we love about him is his heart, his heart 186 00:12:34.440 --> 00:12:37.240 for God, because he's a man after God's own heart. 187 00:12:37.399 --> 00:12:40.039 But you know, we miss a big part of who 188 00:12:40.159 --> 00:12:44.320 David is. He faced trials in his life, okay, and 189 00:12:44.440 --> 00:12:49.039 I say trials is kind of exaggerated. Trials in his life, Okay. 190 00:12:49.960 --> 00:12:55.039 He was ignored by his father. David was actually bullied 191 00:12:55.360 --> 00:12:59.080 by his brothers, not known by the king who he served. 192 00:12:59.120 --> 00:13:02.080 He served the king, King Saul. Whenever King Saul has 193 00:13:02.720 --> 00:13:05.799 the monic oppression, he would call on David, and David 194 00:13:05.879 --> 00:13:07.559 had to go there with the heart and try to 195 00:13:07.639 --> 00:13:12.480 suit him down. But then Saul never recognized him. He 196 00:13:12.679 --> 00:13:17.320 was falsely accused. He was rebuked by his brother. When 197 00:13:17.399 --> 00:13:21.200 he wins war for Saul, Saul gets jealous. Can you 198 00:13:21.240 --> 00:13:23.799 imagine that you're a soldier going to war, winning wars 199 00:13:23.799 --> 00:13:25.759 for the king. When you go back the king would 200 00:13:25.799 --> 00:13:29.960 like to kill you. That's that's David. He had a 201 00:13:30.039 --> 00:13:34.039 father in law who wanted him dead. He got insulted, 202 00:13:34.559 --> 00:13:39.399 got oppressed. He was hunted half of his life. Most 203 00:13:39.480 --> 00:13:43.120 of the Psalm he actually wrote inside a cave because 204 00:13:43.159 --> 00:13:47.600 he was being hunted. He was followed by rejects, even 205 00:13:47.639 --> 00:13:50.120 the recher. The rejects wanted to stone him. Can you 206 00:13:50.159 --> 00:13:55.080 imagine that his best friend died, his son died, his 207 00:13:55.360 --> 00:14:00.200 daughter got raped by his son, his son kills another son. Yeah, 208 00:14:00.879 --> 00:14:03.440 his son led a rebellion against him. Did they want 209 00:14:03.440 --> 00:14:07.559 to go on? Ahbaba? That was actually the life that 210 00:14:07.720 --> 00:14:13.120 David lived. God is the life that he lived. And 211 00:14:13.279 --> 00:14:18.360 yet he said continually praise God, praise his name. Maybe 212 00:14:18.399 --> 00:14:20.759 there were times that were magnified, were attracted to the 213 00:14:21.080 --> 00:14:24.960 riches of David, the king who made it as a 214 00:14:25.039 --> 00:14:28.879 young k he faced all of those, and yet the 215 00:14:29.000 --> 00:14:32.480 lesson that we need to point out and learn from 216 00:14:34.000 --> 00:14:37.799 is David praise the Great God continually in all of 217 00:14:37.919 --> 00:14:40.960 this God still called him a man after God's own heart. 218 00:14:41.879 --> 00:14:45.039 Somehow he knew how to strengthen himself in the Lord. 219 00:14:46.480 --> 00:14:51.399 I do believe that that the secret lies in these 220 00:14:51.519 --> 00:14:56.120 four words that he wrote, my God and King. He 221 00:14:56.200 --> 00:15:01.080 knew his position, he knew I am sure God. Not 222 00:15:01.279 --> 00:15:04.159 only I am serving God, but this God and King 223 00:15:04.600 --> 00:15:10.120 I have a personal relationship with my dear is very important. 224 00:15:10.919 --> 00:15:15.320 You can actually call God God and King King. But 225 00:15:15.440 --> 00:15:18.360 if you don't know, if you don't call him my God, my. 226 00:15:18.720 --> 00:15:26.320 King, my abb a father, my Lord, my savior, my strength, 227 00:15:26.799 --> 00:15:30.200 my strong power, you have to draw near to God, 228 00:15:31.240 --> 00:15:32.120 drawn near to him. 229 00:15:32.639 --> 00:15:35.799 This God doesn't just sit high end mighty and just 230 00:15:36.759 --> 00:15:40.600 stay there. No, he invites us, in his very presence 231 00:15:40.919 --> 00:15:44.840 to a relationship. Let's just put an example. Maybe I 232 00:15:44.879 --> 00:15:47.279 don't know if you voted or you didn't vote for 233 00:15:47.679 --> 00:15:50.519 the thirty as our president, but he is our president, right. 234 00:15:51.440 --> 00:15:54.600 But does he know you? No, he knows you as 235 00:15:54.840 --> 00:15:59.679 a person count in the census. That's it. But this God, 236 00:16:01.399 --> 00:16:05.720 this God who came on earth as Jesus, who saved us, 237 00:16:06.600 --> 00:16:10.720 gave us away for us to be closer again to Heaven. 238 00:16:11.360 --> 00:16:15.360 Enjoy the riches here and gives us hope. It's very personal. 239 00:16:16.039 --> 00:16:18.440 He's very personal, and he you know why, he takes 240 00:16:18.519 --> 00:16:23.039 delight in it. And Jeremiah twenty three says, am I 241 00:16:23.200 --> 00:16:26.279 a God at hand, declares the Lord, and not a 242 00:16:26.360 --> 00:16:30.039 god far away. Can a man hide himself in secret 243 00:16:30.120 --> 00:16:33.240 places so that I cannot see him? Declares the Lord? 244 00:16:33.480 --> 00:16:36.279 Do I not feel heaven and earth? Declares the Lord. 245 00:16:36.919 --> 00:16:42.879 He's there with us, his present. That's why when we 246 00:16:42.919 --> 00:16:46.200 say his presence, that means he is here. He's always 247 00:16:46.240 --> 00:16:48.000 there for us. There are times that we may not 248 00:16:48.200 --> 00:16:51.879 feel God, or we feel like we're we're far from 249 00:16:52.000 --> 00:16:55.919 God sometimes, especially when temptations comes our way, When when 250 00:16:56.039 --> 00:16:59.799 sins come away, we say, Lord God, you're you're you're far. No, No, 251 00:17:00.080 --> 00:17:03.360 He is always there. It's us who tried to hide. 252 00:17:04.160 --> 00:17:07.160 It's us who when we have feared, doubt and worry. 253 00:17:07.200 --> 00:17:10.039 It's us who put lies in our heads and try 254 00:17:10.079 --> 00:17:12.720 to hide. We make our own caves and try to hide. 255 00:17:13.000 --> 00:17:15.119 It's as if that He doesn't seize us. But he 256 00:17:15.319 --> 00:17:18.319 knows what you're doing, and he cares for you. And 257 00:17:18.440 --> 00:17:22.640 I wants to draw here. You can't explain the greatness 258 00:17:22.720 --> 00:17:29.440 of God, but you can experience it because he is near. Amen. Amen, 259 00:17:31.400 --> 00:17:34.440 we might not be able to even you talk to 260 00:17:34.519 --> 00:17:38.880 the theologians of all theologians, read all the commentaries, the 261 00:17:38.960 --> 00:17:44.359 study Bible, go through all the classes. We might not 262 00:17:44.720 --> 00:17:49.720 reach even certain percent of his greatness, but then we 263 00:17:49.799 --> 00:17:51.880 can experience it. We can enjoy it. You know why, 264 00:17:51.920 --> 00:17:55.839 because he's personal. He's with you and I. My prayer 265 00:17:55.960 --> 00:17:57.599 is that that's how we're going to push you out. 266 00:17:58.240 --> 00:18:01.920 Because you know that He's greatness in us abounds, the 267 00:18:02.039 --> 00:18:05.160 grace abounds, his love for us, it abounds. That's why 268 00:18:05.200 --> 00:18:07.240 we want to reach out to as many as we like. 269 00:18:08.200 --> 00:18:10.559 How to praise God. One way to praise God is 270 00:18:10.640 --> 00:18:15.039 sharing that experience. It doesn't just stop with us. It 271 00:18:15.160 --> 00:18:18.079 has to be shared. When we experience is greatness, we 272 00:18:18.160 --> 00:18:23.319 are compelled to share His greatness. Endless praise even transcenced generation. 273 00:18:23.799 --> 00:18:27.799 We teach them and and David wrote this in in 274 00:18:28.400 --> 00:18:31.920 five different verses. In first and verse four it said 275 00:18:32.279 --> 00:18:35.200 one generation shall command your work to another, and shall 276 00:18:35.279 --> 00:18:39.279 declare your mighty acts. As this verse said, we are 277 00:18:39.359 --> 00:18:41.799 to share it to the next generation. This is important. 278 00:18:42.680 --> 00:18:45.319 How many here are your parents? Raise your hands? Parents, 279 00:18:45.400 --> 00:18:48.559 that's talk about grandparents. That's not how my my parents 280 00:18:48.599 --> 00:18:51.480 are there in the back. So grandparents, we want you 281 00:18:51.599 --> 00:18:54.079 to experience and share the greatness of God to the 282 00:18:54.119 --> 00:18:57.680 next generation. We don't just teach them, but we have 283 00:18:57.839 --> 00:18:59.759 to show them. And there are times that we have 284 00:18:59.839 --> 00:19:03.759 to take them alone. It's okay, it's okay. Sometimes it 285 00:19:03.880 --> 00:19:06.799 can be messy. But you know what I, as I 286 00:19:06.839 --> 00:19:09.480 said earlier, I praise God to be part of a 287 00:19:09.599 --> 00:19:14.559 movement that let the next generation lead with us. Dave 288 00:19:14.720 --> 00:19:18.200 is not under me or under Dennis. No, they're leading 289 00:19:18.279 --> 00:19:21.799 with us. Cat Napolitando when she was the one who 290 00:19:21.839 --> 00:19:24.839 did exportation a while ago. She's a peer, she's not. 291 00:19:25.359 --> 00:19:28.079 I'm not a superior. No, No, we're leading with them. 292 00:19:28.680 --> 00:19:35.559 His here is actually our campus missionaries. Uh, Dave, pastor Dave, 293 00:19:35.599 --> 00:19:38.039 the one who's leading our every nation campus Great Green 294 00:19:38.079 --> 00:19:40.720 Hills is on your left, and the one on the 295 00:19:40.839 --> 00:19:44.920 right is his lovely wife Get and their cute son Jedi. 296 00:19:45.359 --> 00:19:49.359 And this is the team Nikki, Cat, Gabby, Adrian and 297 00:19:49.480 --> 00:19:52.839 Chell do pray for them. They actually are not paid 298 00:19:53.160 --> 00:19:57.160 by the church. We support them, but they get their 299 00:19:57.200 --> 00:20:00.920 support from from from people on their own. Sometimes it's messy. 300 00:20:01.400 --> 00:20:05.920 Sometimes we have healthy discussion because of the different ages. 301 00:20:06.039 --> 00:20:09.640 Generation got okay, may I say, but then it's a 302 00:20:09.759 --> 00:20:14.799 joy serving with them. And David said, all your work 303 00:20:14.839 --> 00:20:16.960 shall give thanks to you, O Lord, and all your 304 00:20:17.039 --> 00:20:19.799 saints shall bless you. They shall speak of the glory 305 00:20:19.880 --> 00:20:23.319 of your kingdom, and tell of your power to make 306 00:20:23.440 --> 00:20:26.000 known to the children of men your mighty deeds, and 307 00:20:26.119 --> 00:20:30.519 the glorious splendor of your kingdom, your kingdom and everlasting kingdom, 308 00:20:30.599 --> 00:20:35.240 and your dominion endoors throughout all generations, all generations. It's 309 00:20:35.319 --> 00:20:39.599 messy sometimes when we lead these kids, you just want 310 00:20:39.640 --> 00:20:42.400 to give them the theology at all. It's a book, 311 00:20:43.480 --> 00:20:46.440 go through it, chapter one, chapter two, and then just 312 00:20:46.519 --> 00:20:49.279 do it. No, it's different how we do it. It's 313 00:20:49.319 --> 00:20:52.000 different that after identifying them, we make sure that we 314 00:20:52.079 --> 00:20:55.000 instruct them. Not only do we give instruction, but we 315 00:20:55.440 --> 00:20:58.240 impart on them on their lives. That's kind of messy. 316 00:20:58.559 --> 00:21:01.839 Like here, there times I have interns here in front Cannina, 317 00:21:01.960 --> 00:21:05.920 interns with Tatlau, my young people there are they get 318 00:21:05.960 --> 00:21:07.720 bored in the middle of my preaching and just go out. 319 00:21:08.400 --> 00:21:12.119 But it's okay. It's it's messy. Oay. Maxine right now 320 00:21:12.240 --> 00:21:14.960 is pretending that she's actually listening to me. If I 321 00:21:15.039 --> 00:21:18.720 ask her, Nator, she's gone. But it's okay, it's okay, 322 00:21:18.920 --> 00:21:21.200 on on on on my on my right side, I 323 00:21:21.240 --> 00:21:26.519 can see Destiny and Kayla uh smiling once in a while, 324 00:21:26.640 --> 00:21:31.240 especially with my wrong grammar. But it's okay. It's messy. 325 00:21:31.880 --> 00:21:36.160 But there's joy in in not just leaving the theology 326 00:21:36.240 --> 00:21:39.920 that theology to them, but actually showing them, showing them 327 00:21:39.960 --> 00:21:43.000 and serving with them. That is what David showing us here. 328 00:21:43.640 --> 00:21:46.319 Paul said, You, then, my child, be strengthened by the 329 00:21:46.359 --> 00:21:48.680 grace that is in Christ Jesus, and what you have 330 00:21:48.839 --> 00:21:51.400 heard from me, in the presence of many witnesses, and 331 00:21:51.599 --> 00:21:55.319 trust to faithful men who will be able to teach others. 332 00:21:55.440 --> 00:21:59.480 Also there's a joy in in in leading with them. 333 00:22:00.039 --> 00:22:02.559 I remember I have a story about my two sons. 334 00:22:03.599 --> 00:22:07.480 The one on your right is my seventeen year old 335 00:22:07.519 --> 00:22:11.119 turning seventheen this year's son, Jello, and the one in 336 00:22:11.160 --> 00:22:14.559 the middle beside me is my fourteen turning fifteen year 337 00:22:14.599 --> 00:22:18.640 old son Monthy. Both of them are serving in ministry 338 00:22:18.759 --> 00:22:22.799 right now. Jello is in the music team five o'clock 339 00:22:23.039 --> 00:22:25.599 or soon to be five thirty and seven pm. Here 340 00:22:25.680 --> 00:22:29.359 Anandaemon transitional five thirty to seven pm. Okay, he's serving 341 00:22:29.400 --> 00:22:32.519 the music team and Monty is in the tech. We 342 00:22:32.720 --> 00:22:35.279 never we never told them, you know what, we are 343 00:22:35.400 --> 00:22:38.240 leaders in our church and I want you as my son, 344 00:22:38.559 --> 00:22:41.240 as my kids to be part of ministry. Why don't 345 00:22:41.240 --> 00:22:44.000 you do this find the ministry. No, we were actually 346 00:22:44.079 --> 00:22:47.000 me and my wife, we were so surprised when Jello 347 00:22:47.160 --> 00:22:50.319 came three or four years ago when he said, you 348 00:22:50.400 --> 00:22:53.559 know that I auditioned in the music team. Yeah, good 349 00:22:53.640 --> 00:22:56.960 job in kids church. No, in the adult service. Adult service. 350 00:22:58.200 --> 00:23:01.279 I even had to personally okay, uh, this is I know, 351 00:23:01.440 --> 00:23:03.319 this is I'm confessing right now. I had to go 352 00:23:03.720 --> 00:23:11.720 to our musical director, Charles. I mean, wow, praise God. 353 00:23:14.200 --> 00:23:18.279 Up until now, we're still wondering. We were still wondering. 354 00:23:19.000 --> 00:23:22.079 We didn't know. And Monty serves in in in the 355 00:23:22.200 --> 00:23:25.720 tech and all we told them. All we taught them 356 00:23:25.880 --> 00:23:31.480 is to love God, love his people, and that's it. 357 00:23:31.599 --> 00:23:34.359 Honor God and make disciples. That that's all we taught them. 358 00:23:34.720 --> 00:23:38.359 But then there's a different manifestation. It It comes out 359 00:23:38.799 --> 00:23:43.680 when you when your love, when your love time is 360 00:23:43.759 --> 00:23:45.799 filled by God to the brim. All you have to 361 00:23:45.839 --> 00:23:49.400 do is to continually praise, and it can be different, 362 00:23:50.759 --> 00:23:53.440 different way of manifestation. Some can do it in service. 363 00:23:54.319 --> 00:23:57.440 And then we need to do that. Parents, grandparents, if 364 00:23:57.480 --> 00:24:00.240 you're educators in this in this room, we need to 365 00:24:00.319 --> 00:24:02.440 do that. We need to show it. David showed that 366 00:24:03.440 --> 00:24:08.680 David when he David was so excited to build God's temple. Okay, 367 00:24:08.799 --> 00:24:12.480 the moment he became king, it was already on top 368 00:24:12.519 --> 00:24:15.079 of his list. I'm gonna be I'm gonna build God 369 00:24:15.119 --> 00:24:18.960 a temple, but somewhere first Chronicles, middle of first Chronicles. 370 00:24:18.960 --> 00:24:23.079 And on eighteen nineteen or twenty, God said, you know what, No, 371 00:24:23.920 --> 00:24:27.720 you've done a lot, and he did so many mess 372 00:24:28.640 --> 00:24:31.920 I want Solomon to build my temple. He didn't write, 373 00:24:32.160 --> 00:24:34.680 He didn't say what I killed all of this. I 374 00:24:34.759 --> 00:24:37.119 put my neck on the line. I put my life 375 00:24:37.200 --> 00:24:38.799 on the line, and then you're gonna take this away 376 00:24:38.799 --> 00:24:41.559 from me. No, he didn't say anything. As soon as 377 00:24:41.640 --> 00:24:44.720 he got that marching order, he said, Okay, I'm gonna 378 00:24:44.720 --> 00:24:49.640 prepare the next generation. God told David this, for his 379 00:24:49.839 --> 00:24:52.839 name shall be Solomon and will give peace and quiet 380 00:24:52.880 --> 00:24:55.200 to Israel. In these days he shall build a house 381 00:24:55.240 --> 00:24:57.319 for my name. He shall be my son, and I 382 00:24:57.359 --> 00:24:59.799 will be his father, and I will establish his royal 383 00:25:00.240 --> 00:25:05.119 in Israel forever, for the for this generation, for our generation, 384 00:25:06.160 --> 00:25:09.400 it's important for us to ready the next generation. God's 385 00:25:09.440 --> 00:25:12.599 greatness is measurable, and he is worthy of our endless praise. 386 00:25:13.400 --> 00:25:16.559 He's worthy of our endless praise. Do not just look 387 00:25:16.599 --> 00:25:18.680 at your at your life and said, how can I 388 00:25:18.799 --> 00:25:21.480 praise God in my in this moment? He is a 389 00:25:21.519 --> 00:25:25.119 great God. There are times that when you approach us 390 00:25:25.119 --> 00:25:28.640 as pastors, you're you're want you wanted an answer, You're 391 00:25:28.720 --> 00:25:30.880 wanting an answer. But then there are times that we 392 00:25:30.880 --> 00:25:33.359 would just say God is in control. You know why 393 00:25:34.200 --> 00:25:36.599 he not only do we don't know what's going on, 394 00:25:37.240 --> 00:25:40.839 But then the truth is God is in control. He 395 00:25:41.119 --> 00:25:43.440 is always in control. When we say his sovereign, his 396 00:25:43.559 --> 00:25:46.359 sovereigning not just over the land, but even especially over 397 00:25:46.480 --> 00:25:49.799 your life, his sovereign moment right now, we might not 398 00:25:49.920 --> 00:25:52.839 see it, but he's weaving something great and all we 399 00:25:52.960 --> 00:25:57.000 have to enjoy is his presence and see and in 400 00:25:57.319 --> 00:26:00.799 marvel in his greatness. I want to and with this 401 00:26:01.000 --> 00:26:05.519
