Speaker 1: Hello, everybody, This is Pastor Rick's Daily Hope.
Speaker 2: If you're joining us for the first time or you've
Speaker 2: been listening every day for ten years, we just want
Speaker 2: to say welcome, We love you, and we pray for
Speaker 2: you every day. So we're continuing with this series called
Speaker 2: Daring Faith the Key to Miracles. And in this series
Speaker 2: you're learning how to have a bold, unshakable faith that
Speaker 2: gives you courage to impact the world around you. And
Speaker 2: if you're like me, you'd really like to be more
Speaker 2: bold and have more courage.
Speaker 1: To share your faith in Christ.
Speaker 2: All right, well, right now, let's join Pastor Rick with
Speaker 2: part one of a message called Daring to give God
Speaker 2: my best.
Speaker 3: I said in a previous message that the greatest tragedy
Speaker 3: in life is not death, but.
Speaker 4: A wasted life.
Speaker 3: And as your pastor, I am committed to helping you
Speaker 3: be all God wants.
Speaker 4: You to be.
Speaker 3: I don't want you to settle for second place. I
Speaker 3: don't want you to settle for also ran, I want
Speaker 3: you to win the race that God has given to you.
Speaker 4: I want you to be the best that you can be.
Speaker 3: And so I want us to look at these three
Speaker 3: analogies of a soldier and an athlete and a farmer
Speaker 3: from the Bible, and it starts off The Bible starts
Speaker 3: off by saying, look at the military. He says, you
Speaker 3: can learn a lot about faith and about being the
Speaker 3: best you can be in the military. Do you remember
Speaker 3: that old army ad be all you can be.
Speaker 4: In the army? Remember that? How do I do that?
Speaker 3: What can we learn from effective soldiers that we would
Speaker 3: apply to our spiritual life. Well, there's a lot we
Speaker 3: can learn about being the best from the military.
Speaker 4: You know. It reminds me of a story.
Speaker 3: Admiral Heymann Rickover was the father of America's naval, a
Speaker 3: nuclear navy, the nuclear subs, and the nuclear Navy, and
Speaker 3: he was a genius. And I remember reading the story
Speaker 3: one time that he was recruiting young graduates from Naval
Speaker 3: Academy cadets who just graduated to have the privilege of
Speaker 3: serving on a nuclear submarine. And there was one young
Speaker 3: man who came in and sat down. He wrote this
Speaker 3: story later became a very famous story, and he said,
Speaker 3: the Admiral just let me talk for two hours. So
Speaker 3: he said, I talked about anything I wanted to talk
Speaker 3: about for two hours, and I was really trying to
Speaker 3: show off all my intelligence, and he said. Then the
Speaker 3: Admiral began to ask a series of questions which slowly
Speaker 3: dawned on me that I knew nothing about what I
Speaker 3: just talked about. And he says, very humbling, and he said,
Speaker 3: right before I left a two hour conversation, Admiral Rickover
Speaker 3: asked me a very poignant question. It was this, when
Speaker 3: you were in school and in all your previous life
Speaker 3: up to this date, did you always do your best?
Speaker 3: And this young man said, well, I started to say yeah,
Speaker 3: and then he said I realized that's not truthful. No,
Speaker 3: And he said I thought, no, I didn't. He said
Speaker 3: I was honest. I said no, I didn't do my
Speaker 3: best all the time.
Speaker 4: And he said.
Speaker 3: Admiral ricover looked at me with piercing eyes and said
Speaker 3: why not? And then just sat there. Why not? Why
Speaker 3: not the best? And he said that question began to
Speaker 3: burn in my heart. It began to be the turning
Speaker 3: point in my life. The man who is that young
Speaker 3: cadet later became the thirty ninth President of the United States.
Speaker 3: His name was Jimmy Carter, and when he wrote his
Speaker 3: biography it was called why not the Best? And he said,
Speaker 3: It still haunts me that question am I doing? Am
Speaker 3: I truly giving my best? Am I truly giving my best? Well,
Speaker 3: there are three things if I want to give my
Speaker 3: best to God that I must do. That every soldier understands.
Speaker 3: You might write these down. Number one. First, I must
Speaker 3: define what I'd die for. I must define what I'd
Speaker 3: die for. You say, well, that's a strange place to start.
Speaker 3: I'm giving your best to God.
Speaker 4: No, it's not.
Speaker 3: Until you know what you're willing to die for. You're
Speaker 3: not ready to live. You're not ready to live until
Speaker 3: you know what you die for. And you're not ready
Speaker 3: to love until you.
Speaker 4: Know who you die for. If you've never.
Speaker 3: Clarified what's worth dying for in your life, you really
Speaker 3: are just not fully alive. Soldiers know there are some
Speaker 3: things worth dying for. Freedom is worth dying for. Family
Speaker 3: is worth dying for. Faith is worth dying for. There
Speaker 3: are some things more valuable even than my own life.
Speaker 4: And they understand that.
Speaker 3: And even Jesus talks about this, and about how that
Speaker 3: love is best expressed in the willingness to die for
Speaker 3: somebody else.
Speaker 4: Look at this verse John fifteen, verse thirteen.
Speaker 3: Jesus said the greatest love, the highest form of love,
Speaker 3: is shown when a person lays down his life for
Speaker 3: is friends. The soldiers understand this. They realize that sometimes
Speaker 3: it's a matter of life or death, and they put
Speaker 3: their life on the line practically every day. Jesus says,
Speaker 3: the greatest measure of love is the willingness to sacrifice
Speaker 3: your life for somebody else. Of course, that's what Jesus
Speaker 3: did for us. The greatest expression of love is Jesus.
Speaker 4: Dying on the cross.
Speaker 3: You measure love not by what people tell you, not
Speaker 3: by what your boyfriend says to you. You measure love
Speaker 3: by the willingness to sacrifice. And the greater the sacrifice,
Speaker 3: the deeper the love. The second thing we learn from
Speaker 3: soldiers and infect the soldiers. To be the best I
Speaker 3: can be, I must sacrifice my comfort. I must sacrifice
Speaker 3: my comfort. And of course soldiers do this all the time.
Speaker 3: Think of all the comforts of soldiers give up in
Speaker 3: others in order to serve others.
Speaker 4: They give up comfort. They go out and they.
Speaker 3: Serving the heat, and they serve in the cold. They
Speaker 3: give up their free schedule because they're not free to
Speaker 3: do anything they want to do. The commanding officer says,
Speaker 3: I want you to do this, and I want you
Speaker 3: to do that. They give up their freedom in order
Speaker 3: to preserve the freedom of other people. Soldiers give up
Speaker 3: their wealth. Nobody gets wealthy becoming a soldier, and so
Speaker 3: they give up a lot of things. They sacrifice their
Speaker 3: own comfort and the hardships that they choose to put
Speaker 3: up with. This is true in any air of life.
Speaker 3: You don't become great without sacrificing. You don't become great
Speaker 3: by five easy steps. You don't become great. You don't
Speaker 3: become a great woman. You don't become a great man
Speaker 3: by doing what's easy, by doing what's comfortable. You'd become
Speaker 3: great by committing yourself to something greater than yourself and
Speaker 3: then being willing to sacrifice for that. And the greater
Speaker 3: your sacrifice in life, the greater your character in life is.
Speaker 3: The Bible says this and two Timothy two verse three.
Speaker 3: Endure hardship with us like a good soldier of Christ Jesus.
Speaker 3: He's using this metaphor, this analogy of the military, and
Speaker 3: he says, just like a soldier puts up with hardship
Speaker 3: for a greater cause, you need to put up with
Speaker 3: hardship for a greater cause.
Speaker 4: What is the hardship in your life?
Speaker 3: What is following Christ making difficult for you? Well, it
Speaker 3: could be your criticized some that could be a hardship, ostracized,
Speaker 3: made fun of. Maybe that's a hardship. Anytime you do
Speaker 3: what's right, it's never easy. If doing what's right was easy,
Speaker 3: everybody would do it. It's much easier to do what's wrong.
Speaker 3: Always easier to do what's wrong than to do what's right.
Speaker 3: And that's why it's harder to tell the truth. That's
Speaker 3: why it's harder to forgive instead of getting, even it's
Speaker 3: harder to let go instead of getting. It's harder to
Speaker 3: be kind. It's harder to be unselfish than selfish. These
Speaker 3: are hardships in following Christ. It's not easy. But the path,
Speaker 3: the greatness, and the path that being the best you
Speaker 3: can possibly be as a man, or the best you
Speaker 3: can possibly be as a woman, comes from first defining
Speaker 3: what you die for and then second sacrificing your comfort.
Speaker 3: You see, it's a battle to do what's right. It's
Speaker 3: not easy, and we are in a spiritual battle. And nothing,
Speaker 3: as I mentioned earlier, has ever done great without sacrifice.
Speaker 3: The Bible says this in Ephesians five two. Live a
Speaker 3: life of sacrificial love, just as Christ loved us and
Speaker 3: gave himself as an offering and a sacrifice for us.
Speaker 3: So he's saying, okay, if you want to be like
Speaker 3: Jesus Christ, and that's the goal, If you want to
Speaker 3: be like Jesus Christ, you need to learn sacrificial love,
Speaker 3: because Jesus offered himself as a sacrifice his own life,
Speaker 3: and he offered himself as an offering for others. Question,
Speaker 3: you want to be like Jesus, who are you offering
Speaker 3: your life for?
Speaker 4: Right now?
Speaker 3: Who are you sacrificing your life for? Who are you
Speaker 3: putting up with hardships for? Besides yourself? A lot of
Speaker 3: people will put up with hardships in order to get ahead,
Speaker 3: in order to succeed for personal goals. Are you involving
Speaker 3: yourself in any things that are hard to do for
Speaker 3: the benefit of other people? And sometimes you lose sleep
Speaker 3: because you're helping other people? And sometimes you spend some
Speaker 3: of your money because you're helping other people. And sometimes
Speaker 3: you lose your privacy because you're helping somebody else. These
Speaker 3: are hardships. I must sacrifice my comfort. If you want
Speaker 3: to be like Jesus, we have to live a life
Speaker 3: of sacrificial love. You know, I can't think of sacrifice
Speaker 3: and nothing's great I've ever done that su sacrifice without
Speaker 3: thinking of One of my favorite stories that really touched
Speaker 3: me as a young man the story of Jim Elliott
Speaker 3: and five missionaries. Jim Elliott and four of his best
Speaker 3: friends heard about a tribe in the deep jungles of
Speaker 3: the Amazon in Ecuador who had never heard the name
Speaker 3: of Jesus Christ. Very primitive tribe, no Bible, no believer,
Speaker 3: no church. And so these five guys said, we're going
Speaker 3: to give ourselves to go missionaries to reach this tribe
Speaker 3: that nobody's ever shared the good news with. And they
Speaker 3: knew they just couldn't walk in. There's a pretty violent tribe.
Speaker 3: And so they start dropping gifts overhead from planes as
Speaker 3: they'd fly over the jungle, and they were trying to
Speaker 3: soften them up. And finally, after about six months of preparation,
Speaker 3: they decided to make first contact with this tribe and
Speaker 3: they found a little sand barge on the river on
Speaker 3: the Amazon River where they could actually land a plane,
Speaker 3: and they flew in in the first landing. They landed
Speaker 3: to get out to meet the Indians for the very
Speaker 3: first time. When those five missionaries were martyred in their
Speaker 3: very first attempt to share the good news with those Indians, the.
Speaker 1: World was rocked.
Speaker 3: It was on the cover of every magazine, and many
Speaker 3: people said, what a waste, What a waste. Those people
Speaker 3: went to tell them the good news and they didn't
Speaker 3: even get to share it, and they gave their lives.
Speaker 4: But that wasn't the end of the story.
Speaker 3: In the closing words, when Jim Elliot looks up at
Speaker 3: min Kayani, the tribal chief who was killing him at
Speaker 3: that moment, and offers words of forgiveness, something sticks in
Speaker 3: his heart.
Speaker 4: And he begins to soften.
Speaker 3: And the rest of the story is is that some
Speaker 3: of the wives of those missionaries said, we're going to
Speaker 3: go in now. And Elizabeth Elliott, Jim Eliot's wife, took
Speaker 3: her young daughter and Rachel Saint, a sister of one
Speaker 3: of the other missionaries. Those brave, courageous, daring faith women
Speaker 3: moved to that tribe and moved in with them, and
Speaker 3: they began to share the good news. And the people
Speaker 3: were so shocked that the wives would come after they
Speaker 3: had killed the husbands, and they began to share the
Speaker 3: good news, and the tribe converted to christ. Min Kayani,
Speaker 3: that man who was the leader and who killed Jim Eliot,
Speaker 3: he later had Nate Saint, who was the son of
Speaker 3: one of the men killed, came and lived in him,
Speaker 3: and Nate Saint adopted him as his father. The man
Speaker 3: who killed his own dad Mi and Kayani became a
Speaker 3: devout Christian and then became a preacher and began to
Speaker 3: travel the world telling people about the good news of forgiveness.
Speaker 3: And in two thousand and six that Indian Min Kayani
Speaker 3: stood on the stage of Saddleback Church and preached to
Speaker 3: this crowd. Gave me these beads to represent their peace
Speaker 3: beads to represent the effect of the peace plan around
Speaker 3: the world. And they found the old plane that had
Speaker 3: laid buried.
Speaker 4: In that sandbar.
Speaker 3: They took it apart, they brought it and we put
Speaker 3: it here on the stage on the anniversary of that
Speaker 3: the death of those men. In fact, I think we've
Speaker 3: got a picture of the Yeah, there's men Kayani, there's
Speaker 3: Pastor Tom at a much younger age, and and there's
Speaker 3: men Kayani just beaming with the love of Jesus Christ,
Speaker 3: no longer a hater, no longer filled with rage and jealousy,
Speaker 3: but a lover and a preacher of the good news
Speaker 3: of the Gospel. How did that man come to Christ
Speaker 3: because somebody was willing to sacrifice? There are some things
Speaker 3: worth dying for.
Speaker 4: Now.
Speaker 3: I doubt that you will be asked to give your
Speaker 3: life for Gesus Christ.
Speaker 4: But would you be willing.
Speaker 3: Or are you just a casual Christian not a committed Christian?
Speaker 3: And are you willing to sacrifice your own comfort for
Speaker 3: the greater good of other people? That's what it means
Speaker 3: to be like Jesus. There is one other thing. Third
Speaker 3: thing we learned from a soldier is that I must
Speaker 3: eliminate distractions. If I want to be the best that
Speaker 3: I could possibly be, if I want to be the
Speaker 3: best man I can be, if I want to be
Speaker 3: the best woman I can be, I've got to eliminate distractions.
Speaker 3: And the next verse in this passage says this, As
Speaker 3: Christ's soldier, do not let yourself become entangled in the
Speaker 3: affairs of this life, wasting time, for then you can't
Speaker 3: please your commanding officer who enlisted you into his army.
Speaker 4: If there's one thing.
Speaker 3: A soldier must have is he must have the freedom
Speaker 3: to respond with flexibility when his commanding officer says, go no, soldiers, sorry,
Speaker 3: I'm busy right now, I'm watching say yes to the dress. Okay,
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, I'm busy. I can't go serve right now.
Speaker 3: I've got my I'm going out for a game of
Speaker 3: golf right now. I'm sorry. I can't help because I'm
Speaker 3: I'm gonna play my hobby and I'm gonna I'm gonna
Speaker 3: go read this, I'm gonna go watch a game. And no,
Speaker 3: no soldiers say they can't get a fair involved in
Speaker 3: the affairs of this life in civilian life, because they
Speaker 3: have to be ready in a moment's notice to do
Speaker 3: what their commanding officer tells them to do. You have
Speaker 3: to eliminate distractions. Now, the Bible has a lot to
Speaker 3: say about doing without things that really don't matter. How
Speaker 3: much of your time is invested in things that aren't
Speaker 3: gonna matter five years from today, much less in eternity.
Speaker 4: How much of your energy.
Speaker 3: Is invested in things that aren't gonna matter five years
Speaker 3: from today, much less for eternity. How much of your
Speaker 3: money are you investing in things that aren't going to
Speaker 3: matter five years from today, much less for eternity. If
Speaker 3: you want to be great, if you want to be
Speaker 3: the best, you must start spending more of your time,
Speaker 3: more of your money, and more of your energy on
Speaker 3: things that are going to last forever, and less of
Speaker 3: on it on things that don't really matter. I mean,
Speaker 3: do you really need to know how many times a
Speaker 3: Hollywood celebrity has been married? Is that the most important
Speaker 3: thing you need to fill your mind with?
Speaker 4: No?
Speaker 3: Then, why are you reading all of those magazines about
Speaker 3: those stories of people you don't even care about. It's
Speaker 3: a waste of time, It's a waste of brain space.
Speaker 3: What could you give up? I want to challenge you
Speaker 3: to think about this week? What could you give up
Speaker 3: an hour of TV a week? What could you give
Speaker 3: up in order to make more time for the things
Speaker 3: that matter in life? To love, to serve, to know God,
Speaker 3: to worship. These are the things we learn from effective soldiers.
Speaker 4: Define what I can.
Speaker 3: Die for, sacrifice my comfort.
Speaker 4: And eliminate distractions.
Speaker 3: Next, Paul moves to the second example, second metaphor, and
Speaker 3: he says, you know what, you can learn some things
Speaker 3: from sports too, If you really want to learn you
Speaker 3: can learn some things for your spiritual life from sports.
Speaker 4: And he says, let's look at the.
Speaker 3: Serious athlete, the competitive athlete, not the casual one, but
Speaker 3: the serious one. And the second most used analogy for
Speaker 3: the Christian life in the Bible is an athlete. And
Speaker 3: the Bible compares your life to a race. You are
Speaker 3: running a race in life, and it's not a fifty
Speaker 3: yard dash, it's a marathon. And my job as your
Speaker 3: pastor is to help you get across the finish line
Speaker 3: because you're in a race, and I don't want you
Speaker 3: to get sidelined. I don't want you to get run
Speaker 3: off in the ditch. I want you to make it
Speaker 3: to the finish line and win the prize. And here's
Speaker 3: what the Bible says, first Corinthians nine twenty four to
Speaker 3: twenty seven. In a race, everyone runs. In other words,
Speaker 3: everybod life is living their life, but only one person
Speaker 3: wins the prize. So run your race to win, run
Speaker 3: your ways to win. To win the contest, you must
Speaker 3: deny yourselves many things that would keep you.
Speaker 4: From doing your best. There's that phrase again.
Speaker 3: An athlete goes to all this trouble just to win
Speaker 3: a ribbon or a medal that won't last, but we
Speaker 3: do it for an eternal reward that will last forever.
Speaker 3: So I run straight toward the goal with purpose. In
Speaker 3: every step. I fight to win. I'm not just shadow
Speaker 3: boxinger playing around Like an athlete. I discipline my body.
Speaker 3: I discipline myself, making sacrifices and training my body to
Speaker 3: do what it should, not what it wants to do.
Speaker 3: Otherwise I fear that I might be disqualified from the race. Now,
Speaker 3: just like the soldier has three things to teach us,
Speaker 3: the athlete has three things to teach us about being
Speaker 3: the best we can be.
Speaker 4: You might write these down.
Speaker 3: The first thing we learned from the athlete is this,
Speaker 3: I must intend to win. If I'm going to win
Speaker 3: in life, it's got to be intentional. It's not going
Speaker 3: to happen by accident. It's not going to happen without effort.
Speaker 3: It's not going to happen unless they have a goal.
Speaker 3: You will not become great by accident. You will not
Speaker 3: become the best woman you could possibly be, are the
Speaker 3: best man you could possibly be, just casually. It'll only
Speaker 3: happen if you intend to become the best you can be,
Speaker 3: If you intend to have a great soul, intend to
Speaker 3: have a goal. This is the difference between being a
Speaker 3: casual Christian and a competitive or a committed Christian. Is
Speaker 3: there a difference between a competitive golfer and a casual golfer?
Speaker 4: Oh?
Speaker 3: Yeah, the casual the committed golfer takes it serious. They're
Speaker 3: playing to win, and they're very They get stressed out
Speaker 3: about it if they don't win. If you're a casual offery,
Speaker 3: you're just hitting the ball around and having fun, smelling
Speaker 3: the roses, you know, looking at the gophers. You know,
Speaker 3: you're just looking for some time off. The difference is
Speaker 3: the degree of seriousness question, how serious are you about
Speaker 3: being what God made you to be? Well, I'd kind
Speaker 3: of like to do it in my spare time, it isn't
Speaker 3: gonna happen. How serious are you about being the best
Speaker 3: you could possibly be? The Bible said there in verse
Speaker 3: twenty four. In a race, everyone runs, but only one
Speaker 3: person wins the prize. So run your race to win.
Speaker 3: Circle that run your race to win. You should be
Speaker 3: living your life in a way that you're running to win.
Speaker 3: God wants you to win. God doesn't want you to
Speaker 3: be a loser. God wants you to be a winner.
Speaker 3: He wants you to run the race to rent win,
Speaker 3: and you've got to do this intentionally.
Speaker 4: Now.
Speaker 3: The truth is, there's some people that are listening to
Speaker 3: me right now that you're never going to be a
Speaker 3: great person. You're never going to be the person God intended.
Speaker 3: You're never going to be the best man or the
Speaker 3: best woman.
Speaker 4: You're going to be.
Speaker 3: Why because you never intended to be. You're not willing
Speaker 3: to pay the price. You're just not willing to pay
Speaker 3: the price. You don't want it badly enough. You don't
Speaker 3: want it deeply enough. How deeply do you want to
Speaker 3: win the prize that God has for you in life?
Speaker 4: He said, well, what's the prize?
Speaker 3: Look at the next verse, reward and responsibility and eternity.
Speaker 3: The Bible says one Timothy six to twelve. Run your best,
Speaker 3: run your best in the race of faith. And that's
Speaker 3: what we're talking about, daring faith and win eternal life.
Speaker 3: That's what you win, eternal life for yourself, for this
Speaker 3: is the life that God called you to. When you
Speaker 3: profess your faith before many witnesses, What does it mean
Speaker 3: when you profess your faith before many witnesses. Let's talking
Speaker 3: about your baptism When you're baptized, you are professing your
Speaker 3: faith in front of many witnesses. If you haven't been baptized,
Speaker 3: that's what you.
Speaker 4: Need to do next.
Speaker 3: You need to profess your faith out in front of
Speaker 3: many witnesses. Baptism is the way you do that. Then
Speaker 3: he says there, he says, you need to run your
Speaker 3: best race. You need to do it intentionally, said God,
Speaker 3: I really goofed off in a lot of my earlier life.
Speaker 3: But I want the rest of my life to be
Speaker 3: the best of my life. I want to make it count.
Speaker 3: I want to make up for lost time. And I'm
Speaker 3: serious about this. I'm not going to be a casual Christian.
Speaker 3: I'm serious about this. I want your best for my life.
