1
00:00:03.680 --> 00:00:05.719
<v Speaker 1>Have you ever been prideful.

2
00:00:07.080 --> 00:00:10.240
<v Speaker 2>And so prideful that you could not compromise on something

3
00:00:10.279 --> 00:00:11.199
<v Speaker 2>even though you should?

4
00:00:12.039 --> 00:00:13.119
<v Speaker 1>Yeah?

5
00:00:13.519 --> 00:00:15.359
<v Speaker 2>Have you ever been in an argument with your spouse

6
00:00:15.400 --> 00:00:17.879
<v Speaker 2>where you knew you were wrong, but you just couldn't

7
00:00:17.879 --> 00:00:22.399
<v Speaker 2>admit it? Yes, everybody, raise your hand. Okay, that's why

8
00:00:22.519 --> 00:00:25.719
<v Speaker 2>James makes a big deal and a big emphasis on humility.

9
00:00:26.800 --> 00:00:28.719
<v Speaker 1>Colossians three point fifteen says this.

10
00:00:29.199 --> 00:00:35.359
<v Speaker 2>Let the peace that Christ gives, He's the principiece. You

11
00:00:35.399 --> 00:00:39.039
<v Speaker 2>want peace in your relationships, Let the peace that Christ

12
00:00:39.159 --> 00:00:48.399
<v Speaker 2>gives control your thinking, because as members of Christ's body,

13
00:00:48.640 --> 00:00:51.159
<v Speaker 2>you are called to live in peace. Are you a

14
00:00:51.240 --> 00:00:54.640
<v Speaker 2>member of Christ's body? What is Christ body? It's the church.

15
00:00:54.719 --> 00:00:58.479
<v Speaker 2>Are you a member of christ Church? He said, if

16
00:00:58.520 --> 00:01:01.520
<v Speaker 2>you're in God's family, if you're a believer, if you've

17
00:01:01.560 --> 00:01:04.359
<v Speaker 2>been born again, if you are in the family of God,

18
00:01:04.439 --> 00:01:07.560
<v Speaker 2>the flock of God. If you're a member of Christ Church,

19
00:01:08.000 --> 00:01:09.959
<v Speaker 2>he says, you you you.

20
00:01:10.439 --> 00:01:13.040
<v Speaker 1>Are called to live in peace.

21
00:01:14.480 --> 00:01:17.719
<v Speaker 2>I like to ask you to think about somebody you

22
00:01:18.200 --> 00:01:21.879
<v Speaker 2>may be having a quarrel with right now. Okay, just

23
00:01:21.959 --> 00:01:24.040
<v Speaker 2>think about somebody that you may be having a quarrel

24
00:01:24.040 --> 00:01:28.040
<v Speaker 2>with right now, all right, Got that person?

25
00:01:28.079 --> 00:01:28.560
<v Speaker 1>In mind.

26
00:01:28.680 --> 00:01:32.280
<v Speaker 2>Now, I want you to think of Jesus Christ sitting

27
00:01:32.519 --> 00:01:36.480
<v Speaker 2>with you as you talk to them. Remember, fight can

28
00:01:36.519 --> 00:01:39.400
<v Speaker 2>be physical, but a quarrel is always verbal.

29
00:01:39.920 --> 00:01:40.480
<v Speaker 1>And as you.

30
00:01:40.519 --> 00:01:45.680
<v Speaker 2>Talk to them, how would things change? How would things

31
00:01:45.760 --> 00:01:48.760
<v Speaker 2>change if you visualize Jesus Christ sitting next to you

32
00:01:48.959 --> 00:01:52.280
<v Speaker 2>and letting Jesus coach you on what to say and

33
00:01:52.359 --> 00:01:56.680
<v Speaker 2>how to say it and when to say it. Imagine

34
00:01:56.680 --> 00:02:00.799
<v Speaker 2>yourself sitting there and whoever it is, he or she

35
00:02:00.959 --> 00:02:03.840
<v Speaker 2>is across from you, and you're in a quarrel about it,

36
00:02:04.480 --> 00:02:06.640
<v Speaker 2>and then you go, now, Lord, how would you respond

37
00:02:06.640 --> 00:02:06.959
<v Speaker 2>to that?

38
00:02:08.680 --> 00:02:11.280
<v Speaker 1>What would you say to that? And tell me what

39
00:02:11.520 --> 00:02:12.759
<v Speaker 1>I need to say.

40
00:02:13.319 --> 00:02:17.039
<v Speaker 2>That's what it means to make Jesus the manager of

41
00:02:17.080 --> 00:02:22.719
<v Speaker 2>your thoughts and your words. Now, of course, if you've

42
00:02:22.759 --> 00:02:25.960
<v Speaker 2>never opened your life to Jesus Christ, you don't have

43
00:02:26.039 --> 00:02:27.360
<v Speaker 2>the peace of Christ in your heart.

44
00:02:28.680 --> 00:02:29.120
<v Speaker 1>You don't.

45
00:02:30.360 --> 00:02:32.439
<v Speaker 2>It's not there because he's not in your heart. So

46
00:02:32.479 --> 00:02:35.560
<v Speaker 2>his peace is not in your heart. But you can

47
00:02:35.599 --> 00:02:37.400
<v Speaker 2>get it. You can get it today, You can get

48
00:02:37.400 --> 00:02:39.360
<v Speaker 2>it right now. It'd be my honor to help you

49
00:02:39.879 --> 00:02:42.400
<v Speaker 2>invite Christ into your life with his peace.

50
00:02:43.319 --> 00:02:44.639
<v Speaker 1>And when he comes in.

51
00:02:44.639 --> 00:02:48.840
<v Speaker 2>And you let him manage your thoughts and your mind

52
00:02:49.560 --> 00:02:51.960
<v Speaker 2>and your words and your motions.

53
00:02:52.719 --> 00:02:54.120
<v Speaker 1>It just changes everything.

54
00:02:55.159 --> 00:02:57.960
<v Speaker 2>So I'd like us to bow our heads right now,

55
00:02:58.280 --> 00:03:00.560
<v Speaker 2>and I'm going to pray for two different groups. First,

56
00:03:00.840 --> 00:03:03.360
<v Speaker 2>I want to pray for those of you who you

57
00:03:03.439 --> 00:03:06.960
<v Speaker 2>know the Lord, but you know you still haven't surrendered

58
00:03:07.000 --> 00:03:11.080
<v Speaker 2>this area. Would you say, God, I'm fed up with

59
00:03:11.199 --> 00:03:16.199
<v Speaker 2>being a quarreling person. I don't like the arguments in

60
00:03:16.240 --> 00:03:18.680
<v Speaker 2>my life. I don't like the conflict in my life.

61
00:03:19.000 --> 00:03:23.360
<v Speaker 2>I don't want to be a quarreling person anymore, and

62
00:03:23.479 --> 00:03:27.000
<v Speaker 2>so I want to repent of it. I realize it's

63
00:03:27.039 --> 00:03:31.439
<v Speaker 2>a big deal. It's a sin. I realize that it

64
00:03:31.439 --> 00:03:35.520
<v Speaker 2>can cause enormous destruction. I realize that it's caused by

65
00:03:35.560 --> 00:03:39.360
<v Speaker 2>the conflict in my own life and my battle with you.

66
00:03:39.439 --> 00:03:42.800
<v Speaker 2>If I want to be my own God, sometimes I

67
00:03:42.840 --> 00:03:44.240
<v Speaker 2>want to do what I want to do, not what

68
00:03:44.360 --> 00:03:48.360
<v Speaker 2>you want. So today I want to humble myself before

69
00:03:48.400 --> 00:03:51.400
<v Speaker 2>you just say that. I want to humble myself, and

70
00:03:51.479 --> 00:03:54.599
<v Speaker 2>I want to ask you to be the manager of

71
00:03:54.639 --> 00:04:00.039
<v Speaker 2>my mouth, the manager of my brain, the manager of

72
00:04:00.599 --> 00:04:05.400
<v Speaker 2>my emotions. I want the peace of Christ to rule

73
00:04:05.560 --> 00:04:10.560
<v Speaker 2>in my heart. And when I start dropping out of

74
00:04:10.599 --> 00:04:14.719
<v Speaker 2>that smart brain that you gave me into the emotional brain,

75
00:04:16.319 --> 00:04:19.800
<v Speaker 2>and I start getting all excited and my words get

76
00:04:19.879 --> 00:04:23.480
<v Speaker 2>faster and I get louder. Help many just paused to stop,

77
00:04:24.519 --> 00:04:27.360
<v Speaker 2>to calm down until I can go back up into

78
00:04:27.360 --> 00:04:32.439
<v Speaker 2>the smarter, clearer thinking, and Lord, help me to treat

79
00:04:32.519 --> 00:04:35.480
<v Speaker 2>other people the way you would. I'm going to treat

80
00:04:35.519 --> 00:04:39.319
<v Speaker 2>everybody with respect and a lot a lot of stuff

81
00:04:39.399 --> 00:04:40.680
<v Speaker 2>slide that doesn't.

82
00:04:40.439 --> 00:04:42.000
<v Speaker 1>Really even need to be mentioned.

83
00:04:43.480 --> 00:04:46.120
<v Speaker 2>I'm not the manager of the universe, and so I'm

84
00:04:46.120 --> 00:04:48.199
<v Speaker 2>turning in my resignation today.

85
00:04:48.639 --> 00:04:50.360
<v Speaker 1>You are the manager of the universe.

86
00:04:53.160 --> 00:04:55.680
<v Speaker 2>Now, if you've never opened your life to Christ, why

87
00:04:55.680 --> 00:04:57.720
<v Speaker 2>don't you just add Jesus Christ.

88
00:04:57.720 --> 00:05:01.399
<v Speaker 1>I want to get to know you.

89
00:05:00.800 --> 00:05:03.240
<v Speaker 2>And I want to ask you to put your peace

90
00:05:03.319 --> 00:05:08.040
<v Speaker 2>in my life. I need the peace of Christ in

91
00:05:08.079 --> 00:05:12.439
<v Speaker 2>my life because I've had a lot of conflict. And

92
00:05:12.519 --> 00:05:15.240
<v Speaker 2>I ask you to clean out all of the sin

93
00:05:15.279 --> 00:05:18.199
<v Speaker 2>in my life, and the garbage in my life, and

94
00:05:18.240 --> 00:05:20.720
<v Speaker 2>the regrets in my life, and just make me a

95
00:05:20.759 --> 00:05:24.399
<v Speaker 2>new person inside, as you've promised to do. I want

96
00:05:24.439 --> 00:05:26.759
<v Speaker 2>to be born again. I want to know you in

97
00:05:26.800 --> 00:05:30.480
<v Speaker 2>a personal way. I don't understand it all, but I

98
00:05:30.560 --> 00:05:34.040
<v Speaker 2>want to start the journey today, So I humbly ask

99
00:05:34.120 --> 00:05:38.279
<v Speaker 2>you to accept me into your family and to forgive

100
00:05:38.319 --> 00:05:41.279
<v Speaker 2>me for the things I've done wrong. And I'm asking

101
00:05:41.439 --> 00:05:42.800
<v Speaker 2>to guide me the rest.

102
00:05:42.519 --> 00:05:47.160
<v Speaker 1>Of my life. In your name, I pray Amen.
