COME ON, ONE OF THE WAYS THAT YOU HALLOW THE NAME OF GOD 33:08.353 --> 33:12.791 IS YOU THINK OF SOMETHING OF HIS CHARACTER TO HONOR. 33:13.624 --> 33:16.728 FOR SOME OF YOU, IT'S FAITHFULNESS. 33:16.827 --> 33:21.534 TO OTHERS, IT'S THE HEALER, THE PROVIDER, THE DELIVERER, 33:21.567 --> 33:25.372 THE COMFORTER, THE ONE WHO BRINGS PEACE, THE REFUGE. 33:25.404 --> 33:31.342 OUT OF YOUR OWN HEART, I WANT YOU TO JUST HALLOW HIS NAME. 33:31.442 --> 33:34.180 THAT'S WHAT JESUS TAUGHT. HE SAID, "WHEN YOU GO TO THE 33:34.213 --> 33:37.315 FATHER, YOU HONOR HIS NAME, YOU HALLOW HIS NAME." AND 33:37.515 --> 33:42.686 ONE OF THE GREAT WAYS TO DO THAT IS TO REALLY REFLECT ON 33:42.787 --> 33:47.359 AN ATTRIBUTE OF HIS CHARACTER, WHICH IS REFLECTED IN A 33:47.394 --> 33:53.748 DESCRIPTION LIKE FAITHFUL, GOOD, KIND.

WHAT IS GOD TO YOU? 34:04.644 --> 34:07.681 COME ON, JUST TELL HIM. 'CAUSE REALLY THAT'S THE QUESTION, 34:07.780 --> 34:11.224 IT'S NOT WHAT MEN ARE SAYING ABOUT GOD, BUT WHAT JESUS 34:11.224 --> 34:20.974 ASKED THE DISCIPLES, "WHO DO YOU SAY THAT I AM?" LET HIM 34:20.974 --> 34:26.434 KNOW. YOU WHISPER IT TO HIM. YOU LIFT YOUR VOICE, YOUR 34:26.434 --> 34:32.585 HEART. COME ON, HE IS A GOOD GOD, A LOVING GOD, A 34:32.585 --> 34:37.077 FAITHFUL GOD.

IF YOU NEED PRAYER TODAY AND YOU'RE IN THIS 35:15.155 --> 35:18.664 ROOM, MAYBE YOU'RE GOING THROUGH A NEED WHERE YOU'RE 35:18.664 --> 35:24.664 LIKE, YOU KNOW, I JUST NEED THIS GOD OF PEACE OR GOD OF 35:24.664 --> 35:28.445 PROVISION. MAYBE YOU'RE IN ANXIETY. MAYBE YOU'RE IN 35:28.445 --> 35:31.175 FEAR. THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE WATCHING TODAY, YOU'RE LIKE, 35:31.175 --> 35:35.224 I JUST I NEED GOD. I WANT YOU TO BE BOLD. I WANT YOU 35:35.224 --> 35:38.644 AND THEN THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE WATCHING TODAY, YOU 35:38.644 --> 35:41.074 COULD, I DON'T KNOW IF THEY GOT A HAND THING THAT YOU 35:41.074 --> 35:44.255 CAN PUT LIKE A HAND SIGNAL WHERE YOU'RE RAISING YOUR 35:44.255 --> 35:46.054 HAND, BUT I WANT YOU TO RAISE YOUR HAND JUST FOR A 35:46.054 --> 35:49.775 MOMENT. IF YOU NEED PRAYER, YOU NEED PRAYER ABOUT 35:49.775 --> 35:52.025 SOMETHING THAT YOU DON'T HAVE TO TELL EVERYBODY THE 35:52.025 --> 35:55.594 SPECIFICS OF WHAT'S GOING ON FOR A, THE SAKE OF TIME AND 35:55.594 --> 35:59.614 B, THERE'S JUST SOME THINGS THAT, ALL RIGHT, I WANT THE 35:59.614 --> 36:03.034 BODY OF CHRIST. LISTEN, IN A WORLD WHERE WE'RE WATCHING 36:03.034 --> 36:06.875 WHAT EVIL LOOKS LIKE AND HATE, RIGHT? DISCORD, 36:06.875 --> 36:11.614 DIVISION, STRIFE, ARGUING, FIGHTING, FINGER POINTING. 36:11.614 --> 36:14.434 JESUS DID SAY THERE WOULD BE A SIGN THAT SOMETIMES WE 36:14.434 --> 36:17.945 FORGET. SO THIS IS HOW THE WORLD, THOSE THAT ARE 36:17.945 --> 36:20.855 LOOKING IN ARE GONNA KNOW. YOU CAN PUT YOUR HAND DOWN 36:20.855 --> 36:23.342 JUST WHILE I HAVE YOU RAISE IT BACK UP, 'CAUSE I COULD 36:23.342 --> 36:26.525 BE LONG WINDED, I DON'T WANNA BE, BUT, AND THEN 36:26.525 --> 36:31.114 YOU'RE GONNA NEED TO PRAY FOR A HEAVY ARM, RIGHT? BUT 36:31.114 --> 36:34.835 HE SAID THERE WOULD BE A SIGN THAT THE WORLD WOULD BE 36:34.835 --> 36:38.585 ABLE TO KNOW THAT WE ARE TRULY FOLLOWERS OF JESUS. HE 36:38.585 --> 36:42.815 SAID IF YOU LOVE ONE ANOTHER. AND SO ONE OF THE 36:42.815 --> 36:46.085 GREATEST WAYS THAT YOU CAN SHOW LOVE IS WHAT THE 36:46.085 --> 36:49.385 SCRIPTURE SAYS, "PRAY ONE FOR ANOTHER." THAT YOU MAY 36:49.385 --> 36:53.614 BE WHAT? HEALED. AND I THINK THAT THAT IS ONE OF THE WAYS 36:53.614 --> 36:56.824 WE'RE GONNA SEE HEALING COME TO OUR CULTURE, TO OUR 36:56.824 --> 37:00.994 SOCIETY, IS IF WE RATHER THAN GET ON AND BE FACEBOOK 37:00.994 --> 37:04.204 WARRIORS, RIGHT, WHICH WE SHOULD STAND FOR TRUTH, I'M 37:04.204 --> 37:07.534 NOT SAYING THAT, WHAT WOULD WE DO IF WE JUST LEARN TO 37:07.534 --> 37:12.394 PRAY RATHER THAN OPEN OUR MOUTHS TO CRITICIZE, TO 37:12.394 --> 37:15.485 ALWAYS BE RIGHT, IF WE WOULD OPEN OUR MOUTHS TO PRAY. 37:15.485 --> 37:21.664 (SOFT MUSIC) HOW MANY OF US THINK THAT WOULD BE A GREAT 37:21.664 --> 37:24.335 THING TO START? SO I WANT YOU THAT ARE WATCHING, I'M 37:24.335 --> 37:27.695 GONNA TAKE MY PHONE OUT, AND AS I DO IT REPRESENTS YOU 37:27.695 --> 37:31.235 THAT ARE WATCHING TODAY. AND I'M GONNA PRAY FOR YOU. BUT 37:31.235 --> 37:33.875 IF YOU NEED PRAYER, LIFT UP YOUR HAND TODAY, AND I WANT 37:33.875 --> 37:36.697 SOME BELIEVERS TO GO OUT OF THEIR, COME ON, GO OUT OF 37:36.697 --> 37:41.405 YOUR CHAIR TODAY, SHOW THE LOVE OF GOD, AND JUST PRAY, 37:41.405 --> 37:43.385 AND IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT TO PRAY FOR THAT PERSON, 37:43.385 --> 37:45.724 JUST KEEP YOUR HAND UP, AND THEN ONCE SOMEBODY IS AROUND 37:45.724 --> 37:47.945 YOU, YOU CAN PUT YOUR ARM DOWN SO THAT YOU DON'T, YOU 37:47.945 --> 37:50.135 KNOW, HAVE TO HAVE PRAYER AGAIN FOR YOUR ARM. BUT 37:50.135 --> 37:51.447 THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE WATCHING, I'M GONNA PRAY A 37:51.447 --> 37:53.422 PRAYER FOR YOU, ALL RIGHT? YOU READY?

YOU 37:59.375 --> 38:01.655 COULD ASK 'EM, YOU KNOW, IS THERE ANYTHING I CAN PRAY 38:01.655 --> 38:03.545 FOR YOU ABOUT? AND THEN JUST, IF YOU NEED PRAYER, 38:03.545 --> 38:06.574 JUST GIVE, YOU KNOW, MAYBE A SHORT SENTENCE, MAYBE ONE 38:06.574 --> 38:10.655 AREA THAT IS REALLY ON YOUR HEART TODAY. BUT FATHER, WE 38:10.655 --> 38:13.505 PRAY RIGHT NOW FOR EVERY PERSON IN THE SOUND OF MY 38:13.505 --> 38:17.135 VOICE. AND THERE ARE THOSE RIGHT NOW THAT ARE IN THIS 38:17.135 --> 38:19.565 ROOM THAT SOMEONE IS ACTUALLY TOUCHING THEM. 38:19.565 --> 38:22.565 SOMEONE IS ACTUALLY TOUCHING AND AGREEING WITH THEIR 38:22.565 --> 38:25.985 NEED.

I WANT TO GIVE PASTOR THE 55:08.356 --> 55:12.255 OPPORTUNITY. NOW THIS IS A FAMILIAR SCRIPTURE AND YOU 55:12.255 --> 55:14.056 KNOW, A LOT OF THESE SCRIPTURES WE KNOW, WE'VE 55:14.056 --> 55:16.695 READ THEM AGAIN AND AGAIN, BUT SOMETIMES YOU GOT TO 55:16.695 --> 55:19.036 PULL OUT ONE LITTLE PHRASE IN THERE, AND THIS IS WHAT 55:19.036 --> 55:22.996 CAME TO ME IN MY PRAYER TIME THIS MORNING. MALACHI 3 IN 55:22.996 --> 55:26.356 VERSE 10, YOU KNOW IT, BRINGING ALL THE TITHES INTO 55:26.356 --> 55:31.516 THE STOREHOUSE, RIGHT? AND THIS IS THE LINE THAT I WANT 55:31.516 --> 55:34.965 YOU TO HONE IN ON, THAT THERE MAY BE MEAT, SOMEBODY 55:34.965 --> 55:39.916 SAY MEAT, OR SUBSTANCE, OR SUPPLY, THAT THERE WOULD BE 55:39.916 --> 55:44.655 MEAT IN MY HOUSE. AND IT OCCURRED TO ME AS I WAS JUST 55:44.655 --> 55:48.675 MEDITATING ON THIS VERSE THAT ONE OF OUR GREATEST 55:48.675 --> 55:52.335 DESIRES AS CHRISTIANS, AS BELIEVERS, SHOULD BE THAT 55:52.335 --> 55:56.476 THE HOUSES OF WORSHIP ARE SUPPLIED FOR. WE WANT THE 55:56.476 --> 56:01.335 HOUSES TO BE MEATY PLACES. OKAY, YOU KNOW, IT'S 56:01.335 --> 56:04.545 AMAZING, YOU KNOW, PEOPLE WILL MAKE, YOU KNOW, KIND OF 56:04.545 --> 56:07.760 JOKES ABOUT, WELL, A MEGA CHURCH OR HAVE YOU, I MEAN, 56:07.760 --> 56:10.005 HAVE YOU HEARD PEOPLE SAY THAT, YOU KNOW, THAT MEGA 56:10.005 --> 56:12.585 CHURCH, I DON'T KNOW WHO STARTED THAT, BUT, AND I'M 56:12.585 --> 56:16.065 LIKE, WELL, FIRST OF ALL, IN MY OPINION, IF THE HOUSES OF 56:16.065 --> 56:19.335 GOD ARE WELL SUPPLIED FOR EVERY CHURCH, I'M BELIEVING 56:19.335 --> 56:23.655 FOR IT TO BE A MEGA CHURCH. I WANT THERE TO BE GROWTH 56:23.655 --> 56:27.255 AND HARVEST AND EXPANSION. I DON'T CARE IF IT'S A SMALL 56:27.255 --> 56:30.766 TOWN IN THE MIDDLE OF NEBRASKA. I WANT IT TO BE A 56:30.766 --> 56:34.996 MEGA MINISTRY, WHETHER IT'S LOCALLY OR ONLINE, IT GOES 56:34.996 --> 56:39.255 AROUND THE WORLD. SO, YOU KNOW, I'M LIKE, LET CRITICS 56:39.255 --> 56:41.806 KEEP PROPHESYING MEGA CHURCHES. I'M SAYING, AND 56:41.806 --> 56:43.846 ACTUALLY, YOU KNOW, HISTORICALLY SCHOLARS WILL 56:43.846 --> 56:46.335 TELL YOU THAT IN THE BOOK OF ACTS, THE CHURCH AT 56:46.335 --> 56:49.996 JERUSALEM ACTUALLY GREW TO LIKE A HUNDRED THOUSAND 56:49.996 --> 56:53.326 MEMBERS. THINK ABOUT THAT. AND SO THEY WERE THE FIRST 56:53.326 --> 56:57.076 MEGA CHURCH. GOD DOESN'T MIND MEGA MINISTRY. AND YOU 56:57.076 --> 56:59.295 KNOW, PEOPLE, WELL, YOU KNOW, PEOPLE DON'T COMPLAIN 56:59.295 --> 57:04.065 IF IT'S MEGA DISNEY OR, YOU KNOW, MEGA CRUISE SHIP. 57:04.065 --> 57:07.036 WHAT'S THAT HUGE CRUISE SHIP THEY HAVE NOW? THEY CALL IT, 57:07.036 --> 57:09.956 HUH? I DON'T KNOW. THERE'S SOME MASSIVE CRUISE SHIP. 57:09.956 --> 57:13.306 AND SO, YOU KNOW, NOBODY COMPLAINS MEGA, YOU KNOW, 57:13.306 --> 57:17.385 SPORTING EVENT OR MEGA, YOU KNOW. SO, BUT I THINK WE 57:17.385 --> 57:19.876 OUGHT TO TAKE THAT BACK BY FAITH AND SAY, "NO, LORD, 57:19.876 --> 57:23.266 LET THE CHURCHES AND THE HOUSES OF WORSHIP IN 57:23.266 --> 57:27.195 AMERICA, COME ON, IN OMAHA, NEBRASKA, CHURCHES THAT ARE 57:27.195 --> 57:29.115 PREACHING THE TRUTH, COME ON, I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT 57:29.115 --> 57:33.045 WOKE, I'M TALKING ABOUT CHURCHES THAT PREACH THE 57:33.045 --> 57:37.815 TRUE GOSPEL, THAT PREACH JESUS AS LORD, COME ON, THAT 57:37.815 --> 57:41.056 HE'S STILL THE SAVIOR, HE'S STILL THE MASTER, THAT THEY 57:41.056 --> 57:45.166 PREACH THE MORAL TRUTHS OF THE SCRIPTURE. OUR GREATEST 57:45.166 --> 57:50.025 DESIRE SHOULD BE THAT THOSE CHURCHES BECOME MASSIVE AND 57:50.025 --> 57:53.896 THERE IS MEAT IN THE HOUSE OF THE LORD. SO, YOU KNOW, I 57:53.896 --> 57:55.936 REFLECTED IN MY OWN HEART, I THOUGHT, WELL GOD, YOU KNOW, 57:55.936 --> 57:58.726 BECAUSE THE BIBLE SAYS SO MUCH ABOUT TITHING AND 57:58.726 --> 58:01.755 GIVING. IT TALKS ABOUT, YOU KNOW, THE BLESSINGS OF 58:01.755 --> 58:04.335 GIVING. IT TALKS ABOUT GIVING TO GOD. IT TALKS 58:04.335 --> 58:07.876 ABOUT GIVING TO THE POOR. HE THAT GIVES TO THE POOR LENDS 58:07.876 --> 58:09.885 TO THE LORD AND THE LORD WILL REPAY HIM AGAIN, THE 58:09.885 --> 58:12.465 WORD SAYS. GIVEN IT SHALL BE GIVEN BACK TO YOU, GOOD 58:12.465 --> 58:15.016 MEASURE, PRESSED DOWN, SHAKEN TOGETHER. THE BIBLE 58:15.016 --> 58:18.135 SAYS THAT GOD WILL MAKE SURE IN THE ATMOSPHERE OF GIVING, 58:18.135 --> 58:20.445 TITHES AND OFFERINGS, THAT YOU SHALL HAVE ALL 58:20.445 --> 58:24.856 SUFFICIENCY IN ALL THINGS, 2 CORINTHIANS CHAPTER 9. SO 58:24.856 --> 58:28.005 THE WORD GOES ON AND ON. I READ IT LAST WEEK, HEBREWS 7 58:28.005 --> 58:30.735 AND VERSE 8, "HEAR MEN THAT DIE, RECEIVE TITHES, BUT 58:30.735 --> 58:33.795 THERE IT IS WITNESSED THAT HE RECEIVES THEM WHO IS 58:33.795 --> 58:37.815 STILL ALIVE." THERE ARE SO MANY VERSES AND VERSES AND 58:37.815 --> 58:41.115 VERSES ABOUT GIVING, BUT THEN I REFLECTED IN MYSELF 58:41.115 --> 58:44.146 AND I SAID, "WELL, LORD, MY GOAL THOUGH SHOULD BE THAT 58:44.146 --> 58:49.365 THERE IS MEAT IN YOUR HOUSE, THAT THE HOUSES OF GOD ARE 58:49.365 --> 58:52.516 WELL SUPPLIED FOR." I FEEL LIKE CHURCHES OUGHT TO BE 58:52.516 --> 58:55.215 THE MOST BEAUTIFUL BUILDINGS. THAT'S WHY I'M SO 58:55.215 --> 58:58.121 THANKFUL THIS BEAUTIFUL BUILDING. YOU KNOW, I DON'T 58:58.121 --> 59:01.396 WANT THE CHURCH TO BE THE CHURCH WITH THE SAGGING 59:01.396 --> 59:05.266 CEILING TILES AND STAINED FLOORS, AND WHILE THE 59:05.266 --> 59:09.106 WORLDLY ONES HAVE ALL OF THE GOOD STUFF. NO, COME ON, 59:09.106 --> 59:13.456 IT'S TIME TO SHIFT THAT IN JESUS' NAME AND LET THE 59:13.456 --> 59:16.815 CHURCH HAVE THE INFLUENCE. COME ON, IT SHOULDN'T BE THE 59:16.815 --> 59:19.786 SOROSES OF THE WORLD THAT GET TO INFLUENCE. IT OUGHT 59:19.786 --> 59:25.096 TO BE THOSE OF US THAT KNOW THE TRUTH. HALLELUJAH. AND 59:25.096 --> 59:28.996 WE HAVE THE WORD OF LIFE. AND SO GOD SAID, BRING ALL 59:28.996 --> 59:32.865 THE TIES THAT THERE MAY BE MEAT. SOMEBODY SAY MEAT OR 59:32.865 --> 59:37.755 SUPPLY IN MY HOUSE. AND THAT SHOULD BE OUR GOAL. YOU 59:37.755 --> 59:40.666 KNOW, I WANT THE QUEEN OF SHEBA'S OF THE WORLD RIGHT 59:40.666 --> 59:44.206 TO COME IN LIKE THEY DID THE TEMPLE OF SOLOMON GO, WOW, 59:44.206 --> 59:46.335 THERE'S SOMETHING HERE, NOT JUST BECAUSE THEY SEE A 59:46.335 --> 59:49.425 BEAUTIFUL BUILDING, BUT THEIR SUPPLY BY WAY OF THE 59:49.425 --> 59:53.746 ANOINTING. COME ON, THE WORD GOING FORTH. THAT'S WHAT WE 59:53.746 --> 59:57.076 NEED TO DO. AND THAT'S OUR GOAL WHEN WE GIVE TODAY. HOW 59:57.076 --> 59:59.715 MANY OF YOU CAN SAY AMEN TO THAT? ALL RIGHT, LET'S PUT 59:59.715 --> 01:00:02.143 THE GIVING INFORMATION UP ON THE SCREEN. WE'RE GOING TO 01:00:02.143 --> 01:00:04.695 GET PASTOR UP TO PREACH.

IT CAME FOR THE PIZZA OF GOD'S WORD, 01:00:13.545 --> 01:00:15.496 I GUESS. I DON'T KNOW. I DON'T MEAN THAT IN A 01:00:15.496 --> 01:00:18.916 SACRILEGIOUS WAY, BUT WE'RE GONNA HEAR THE WORD, THE 01:00:18.916 --> 01:00:20.985 MEAT OF THE WORD FIRST, AND THEN WE'RE GONNA GO HAVE 01:00:20.985 --> 01:00:23.536 SOME FUN OUTSIDE.

BUT AFTER YESTERDAY'S GAME, I 01:04:53.257 --> 01:04:56.047 THINK JESUS MIGHT BE A LION FAN OR SOMETHING. YOU KNOW 01:04:56.047 --> 01:05:00.067 WHAT I MEAN? I DON'T KNOW. I DON'T KNOW.

IT'S ONE THING TO HAVE 01:06:00.336 --> 01:06:03.097 A PREDICTIVE NATURE ABOUT SOMETHING, BUT FOR WHAT, 01:06:03.097 --> 01:06:06.516 WHAT'S THE PURPOSE?

LISTEN, I'VE BEEN OUT OF THE PULPIT 01:06:23.376 --> 01:06:26.976 TWO WEEKS AGO. I TOOK ONE OF MY SUNDAYS AND I WENT UP TO 01:06:26.976 --> 01:06:31.387 GREEN BAY AND THE PACKERS DID AMAZING UP THERE. SO I 01:06:31.387 --> 01:06:33.847 KNOW YOU DON'T CARE, BUT ANYWAY, THEY DID GREAT. BUT 01:06:33.847 --> 01:06:36.427 WHILE I WAS GONE, I HEARD THAT BRENDA TOLD THIS STORY. 01:06:36.427 --> 01:06:39.306 WE HAVE THREE GERMAN SHEPHERDS AND A SHIH TZU. 01:06:39.306 --> 01:06:41.882 HOW MANY OF YOU HAVE A DOG?

BRENDA CALLS ME UP, SHE'S 01:07:02.827 --> 01:07:06.255 HYPERVENTILATING, THAT'S MY WIFE. "HANK, YOU WON'T BELIEVE 01:07:06.255 --> 01:07:10.373 THE GROSSEST THING." I SAID, "WHAT, WHAT, WHAT?"

AND THEN 01:07:32.974 --> 01:07:36.547 I STARTED, HOW DID YOU GET HIM TO VOMIT ALL THAT 01:07:36.547 --> 01:07:40.927 STUFF UP? OH, SHE WAS WASHING HIS FACE, 'CAUSE YOU 01:07:40.927 --> 01:07:44.016 KNOW, SHIH TZUS HAVE MUSTACHES, RIGHT? SO THOSE 01:07:44.016 --> 01:07:45.907 OF YOU THAT HAVE MUSTACHES, YOU GOTTA MAKE SURE YOU WIPE 01:07:45.907 --> 01:07:48.396 YOUR FACE. BUT ANYWAY, SO WHILE SHE WAS DOING THAT, HE 01:07:48.396 --> 01:07:57.396 LUNGED UP ALL THE BIRD STUFF. AND SO, I'M LIKE, HE 01:07:57.396 --> 01:08:00.246 DID NOT DO THAT. SHE'S LIKE, YES HE DID.

CAPTAIN, DID YOU KNOW THAT? 01:08:24.845 --> 01:08:29.287 SO I HAVE NICKNAMED MY SHIH TZU FROM HERBIE TO WOLFIE. 01:08:29.287 --> 01:08:34.117 (CONGREGATION LAUGHING) BUT I AM SO, AND THEN, YOU KNOW, 01:08:34.117 --> 01:08:36.367 SO PASTOR BRENDA LAST WEEK WAS TALKING ABOUT HOW SHE 01:08:36.367 --> 01:08:38.646 HAD TO, YOU KNOW, TAKE CARE OF THAT. AND THEN HOW MANY 01:08:38.646 --> 01:08:40.777 OF YOU, DID YOU HEAR HER WOES ABOUT HAVING TO CLEAN 01:08:40.777 --> 01:08:43.595 UP AFTER THE DOGS IN THE YARD?

I KEPT CALLING IT 01:09:05.917 --> 01:09:08.556 BACK TO SCHOOL AND THEY KEPT CORRECTING ME, YOU KNOW, BUT 01:09:09.756 --> 01:09:13.327 BACK TO CHURCH. AND IT'S NOT THAT NECESSARILY THAT, YOU 01:09:13.327 --> 01:09:15.457 KNOW, ANYBODY IS NOT, YOU KNOW, BEING PART OF CHURCH, 01:09:15.457 --> 01:09:17.345 BUT IT'S JUST NICE TO HAVE YOU COME AND VISIT OUR 01:09:17.345 --> 01:09:20.226 CHURCH TODAY. AND I GOTTA TELL YOU A STORY AT SOME 01:09:20.226 --> 01:09:23.646 POINT, THE DAY WHERE I WAS TOLD THAT YOU HAVE TO BRING 01:09:23.646 --> 01:09:25.296 SOMEBODY TO CHURCH. I'M GONNA TELL YOU MY STORY. HOW 01:09:25.296 --> 01:09:26.947 MANY WOULD LIKE TO HEAR MY STORY? I'LL TELL YOU MY 01:09:26.947 --> 01:09:29.287 STORY. I WILL FOR A COUPLE OF TACOS AND GELATO IF YOU 01:09:29.287 --> 01:09:31.567 HAVE IT OUT IN THE PARKING LOT. ALL RIGHT, BUT I WANT 01:09:31.567 --> 01:09:34.356 US TO DO THIS. I WANT US TO STAND, I'M GONNA READ THE 01:09:34.356 --> 01:09:36.546 WORD FOR JUST A MOMENT. I KINDA LIKE THAT EVERY ONCE 01:09:36.546 --> 01:09:39.845 IN A WHILE, I LIKE YOU TO STAND WHILE I READ THE WORD, 01:09:39.845 --> 01:09:41.345 AND THEY'LL PUT IT UP ON THE SCREEN, AND THOSE OF YOU 01:09:41.345 --> 01:09:43.327 THAT ARE WATCHING, THEY'LL PUT IT UP WHERE YOU CAN SEE 01:09:43.327 --> 01:09:48.247 IT. BUT I WANNA READ OUT OF MATTHEW 22, OUT OF THE NEW 01:09:48.247 --> 01:09:52.595 AMERICAN STANDARD. AND I REALLY BELIEVE THAT AS I 01:09:52.595 --> 01:09:54.606 READ THIS OUT OF THE NEW AMERICAN STANDARD 01:09:54.606 --> 01:09:56.766 TRANSLATION, THAT SOMEHOW THIS IS GONNA BECOME THE NEW 01:09:56.766 --> 01:10:01.056 AMERICAN STANDARD. I BELIEVE IF WE WOULD DO THIS IN OUR 01:10:01.056 --> 01:10:05.587 COUNTRY, WE WOULD HAVE A LOT OF LESS PROBLEMS, RIGHT? 01:10:05.587 --> 01:10:09.096 AMEN, ALL RIGHT, HERE'S WHAT THE SCRIPTURE SAYS. SO IT 01:10:09.096 --> 01:10:12.756 SAYS, "TEACHER, WHICH IS THE GREATEST COMMANDMENT "IN THE 01:10:12.756 --> 01:10:16.056 WORD?" SO THIS IS WHAT THEY WERE COMING TO JESUS. AND 01:10:16.056 --> 01:10:20.167 JESUS SAID UNTO THIS ONE, "YOU SHOULD LOVE THE LORD 01:10:20.167 --> 01:10:26.377 YOUR GOD "WITH ALL YOUR HEART, ALL YOUR SOUL, "AND 01:10:26.377 --> 01:10:30.487 WITH ALL YOUR MIND." THEN HE GOES ON AND SAYS, "THIS IS 01:10:30.487 --> 01:10:35.466 THE GREAT AND THE FOREMOST COMMANDMENT." THE SECOND, SO 01:10:35.466 --> 01:10:37.537 THERE'S THE SECOND COMMANDMENT, IS YOU SHOULD 01:10:37.537 --> 01:10:42.726 LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOU LOVE YOURSELF. AND ON THESE 01:10:42.726 --> 01:10:46.356 TWO COMMANDMENTS DEPEND THE WHOLE LAW AND ALL OF THE 01:10:46.356 --> 01:10:48.936 PROPHETS. LET'S PRAY FOR A MINUTE. HEAVENLY FATHER, WE 01:10:48.936 --> 01:10:53.587 THANK YOU TODAY AS WE THANK YOU THAT ACCORDING TO PSALM 01:10:53.587 --> 01:10:57.606 22, WHEN JESUS WAS HANGING ON THE CROSS, THAT HE SANG 01:10:57.606 --> 01:11:02.197 OF HIS CHURCH. HE COULDN'T WAIT TO DWELL AS IT WAS 01:11:02.197 --> 01:11:06.002 BEING FORETOLD ABOUT HOW THEY WOULD PIERCE HIS HANDS 01:11:06.002 --> 01:11:10.323 AND HIS FEET. THAT SAME PSALM GOES ON AND SAYS, HE 01:11:10.323 --> 01:11:14.552 SANG A SONG IN THE MIDST OF HIS BRETHREN IN THE CHURCH, 01:11:14.552 --> 01:11:19.292 BECAUSE HE LONGED TO BE WITH US AMONG US. AND LORD, 01:11:19.292 --> 01:11:23.162 CHURCH IS REALLY ABOUT HIM AND US GATHERING TOGETHER TO 01:11:23.162 --> 01:11:26.643 WORSHIP HIM AND TO LOVE ONE ANOTHER. AND WE THANK YOU. 01:11:26.643 --> 01:11:29.643 BLESS THIS MESSAGE TODAY. AND EVERYBODY SAID? AMEN. 01:11:29.643 --> 01:11:31.082 ALL RIGHT, YOU CAN BE SEATED. LOOK AT YOUR 01:11:31.082 --> 01:11:35.252 NEIGHBOR, SMILE AT HIM, MAKE A FUNNY FACE. AMEN. TEST 01:11:35.252 --> 01:11:39.422 YOUR LOVE ONE FOR ANOTHER. (LAUGHING) OKAY. BUT I WANT 01:11:39.422 --> 01:11:44.222 US TO RE-LOOK AT THIS AGAIN IN MATTHEW 22. NOTICE IN 01:11:44.222 --> 01:11:49.382 VERSE 36, THEY COME TO JESUS AND SAID, "JESUS, WHAT IS 01:11:49.382 --> 01:11:53.733 THE GREATEST COMMANDMENT?" AND JESUS IMMEDIATELY STARTS 01:11:53.733 --> 01:11:56.193 OFF AND SAYS, "YOU SHALL." IT WASN'T SUGGESTIVE. IT 01:11:56.193 --> 01:11:59.162 WAS, "YOU WILL LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD." NOW YOU CAN'T 01:11:59.162 --> 01:12:03.332 FORCE SOMEBODY TO LOVE YOU, RIGHT? IT HAS TO BE YOUR 01:12:03.332 --> 01:12:06.033 CHOICE. BUT THIS IS WHAT IS ON THE HEART OF GOD. YOU 01:12:06.033 --> 01:12:09.243 SHOULD HONOR THE LORD. YOU SHOULD LOVE HIM WITH 01:12:09.243 --> 01:12:12.872 EVERYTHING INSIDE OF YOU. AND THEN BECAUSE YOU LOVE 01:12:12.872 --> 01:12:16.412 GOD SO MUCH, IT OUGHT TO SPILL OUT AND THAT LOVE 01:12:16.412 --> 01:12:19.622 OUGHT TO BE REFLECTED AND REVEALED TOWARDS OTHER 01:12:19.622 --> 01:12:23.882 PEOPLE. AND NOTICE JESUS SAID, THESE ARE THE TWO 01:12:23.882 --> 01:12:27.273 GREATEST COMMANDMENTS. NOW I WANT THEM TO PUT UP A 01:12:27.273 --> 01:12:32.792 GRAPHIC BECAUSE WHEN I GREW UP AND WHEN I WENT TO SCHOOL 01:12:32.792 --> 01:12:36.932 AND I'LL BE 60 IN MAY, I REMEMBER SEEING THESE ON THE 01:12:36.932 --> 01:12:40.292 SCHOOL. RIGHT WHEN YOU CAME INTO THE SCHOOL, THEY WERE 01:12:40.292 --> 01:12:43.082 RIGHT THERE. YOU CAME IN THE DOORS AND THEY WERE 01:12:43.082 --> 01:12:46.233 LITERALLY ON A WALL AS YOU WOULD GO DOWN TO THE HALLWAY 01:12:46.233 --> 01:12:48.573 RIGHT NEXT TO THE PRINCIPAL'S OFFICE. THIS WAS 01:12:48.573 --> 01:12:53.073 A PUBLIC SCHOOL. THE 10 COMMANDMENTS WERE HUNG. I'LL 01:12:53.073 --> 01:12:55.382 NEVER FORGET IT. AND THE REASON WHY I KNOW THAT TO BE 01:12:55.382 --> 01:12:59.762 TRUE IS BECAUSE MY MOM, TALK ABOUT BACK TO CHURCH OR GO 01:12:59.762 --> 01:13:04.203 TO CHURCH, MY MOM ON SUNDAYS WOULD TAKE ME TO CHURCH AND 01:13:04.203 --> 01:13:06.512 SHE WOULD GO AND GET DONUTS WHILE SHE WOULD THEN GO TO 01:13:06.512 --> 01:13:08.493 THE CHURCH. REMEMBER THAT, MOM? AND EVERY SUNDAY I'D 01:13:08.493 --> 01:13:12.542 GET DONUTS. I'D GET THE SPRINKLED ONES. AND I LOVED 01:13:12.542 --> 01:13:16.143 THAT MOM WOULD GO TO CHURCH. NOT BECAUSE OF WHAT I WAS 01:13:16.143 --> 01:13:18.182 LEARNING, BUT BECAUSE OF THE DONUTS. THIS IS THE WAY I 01:13:18.182 --> 01:13:22.113 GOT MY DONUTS, MAN. I'D BE LIKE, HEY, MOM. BUT WHEN I 01:13:22.113 --> 01:13:24.693 WAS A LITTLE KID, AND THEN REMEMBER WHEN PALM SUNDAY 01:13:24.693 --> 01:13:28.472 CAME AND THEY'D HAND YOU THE LITTLE GREEN CROSS. DID 01:13:28.472 --> 01:13:30.273 Y'ALL REMEMBER THAT ON PALM SUNDAY? AT THE DOOR THEY'D 01:13:30.273 --> 01:13:32.703 HAND YOU THE GREEN, RAISE YOUR HAND IF Y'ALL REMEMBER 01:13:32.703 --> 01:13:37.412 THAT GROWING UP. AND I WOULD THINK, WHOA, THERE IS POWER 01:13:37.412 --> 01:13:40.143 TO IT. YOU KNOW, I'M AN EIGHT TO NINE YEAR OLD KID, 01:13:40.143 --> 01:13:42.813 PLUS I'M A CARTOONIST, SO I THINK IN A CARTOON MIND. AND 01:13:42.813 --> 01:13:45.453 I WOULD LITERALLY GET IT ON PALM SUNDAY AND BY THE TIME 01:13:45.453 --> 01:13:49.143 MAY WOULD ROLL AROUND, IT WOULD TURN YELLOW. AND I 01:13:49.143 --> 01:13:51.363 WOULD THINK, THERE IS SOMETHING MIRACULOUS THAT IT 01:13:51.363 --> 01:13:52.595 WENT FROM GREEN TO YELLOW. AND I'M LIKE, "I DON'T KNOW 01:13:52.595 --> 01:13:54.542 IF I WOULD JUST GO OUT AND LOOK IN MY YARD AND NOT 01:13:54.542 --> 01:13:57.122 WATER IT, I WOULD SEE THE SAME THING." RIGHT? BUT I 01:13:57.122 --> 01:14:00.783 THOUGHT THERE WAS SOMETHING MIRACULOUS ABOUT THAT. AND 01:14:00.783 --> 01:14:04.773 IT PRICKED MY HEART. THERE MUST BE SOMETHING ABOUT THIS 01:14:04.773 --> 01:14:07.773 JESUS. THERE MUST BE SOMETHING ABOUT THIS CHURCH 01:14:07.773 --> 01:14:11.943 THING. AND AS A YOUNG KID, AND I REMEMBER THE ACROLYTE 01:14:11.943 --> 01:14:14.672 MOMENT. AND I REMEMBER I WAS THE GUY THAT COULDN'T GET 01:14:14.672 --> 01:14:18.092 THE CANDLES LIT BECAUSE THE GUY BEFORE, THE WEEK BEFORE 01:14:18.092 --> 01:14:20.643 SMASHED IT. YOU REMEMBER THAT? AND I'M OUT THERE LIKE 01:14:20.643 --> 01:14:22.773 THIS AND THE PASTOR'S GOING AND THE SONG AND THE 01:14:22.773 --> 01:14:25.382 ORGANIST IS PLAYING, DUN, DUN, DUN, DUN, WAITING FOR 01:14:25.382 --> 01:14:27.903 FRANKENSTEIN TO SHOW UP. YOU KNOW, AND IT'S LIKE, YOU 01:14:27.903 --> 01:14:32.103 KNOW. AND I'M OUT THERE. HOW MANY OF YOU ARE ACROLYTE? IS 01:14:32.103 --> 01:14:33.483 THAT WHAT THEY CALL ACROLYTE? AND I'M ACROLYTE 01:14:33.483 --> 01:14:36.212 AND I'M LIKE, I JUST WISH SOMEBODY WOULD COME. AND SO 01:14:36.212 --> 01:14:37.802 THEN, YOU KNOW, THEY HAD TO SEND THE USHER UP WITH A 01:14:37.802 --> 01:14:40.832 LITTLE, YOU KNOW, THING TO RELIGHT THE CANDLES AND MAKE 01:14:40.832 --> 01:14:43.203 ME LOOK GOOD. BUT THAT WAS KIND OF MY CHURCH 01:14:43.203 --> 01:14:47.313 EXPERIENCE, RIGHT? BUT I REMEMBER THE 10 01:14:47.313 --> 01:14:52.382 COMMANDMENTS. I REMEMBER LEARNING THEM IN SCHOOL 01:14:52.382 --> 01:14:55.175 EVEN. AND I LEARNED THEM IN CHURCH. AND I REMEMBER WE 01:14:55.175 --> 01:14:57.363 HAD TO MEMORIZE. HOW MANY OF YOU, AND THOSE OF YOU THAT 01:14:57.363 --> 01:15:00.002 ARE WATCHING, AND I'LL JUST BE HONEST, THAT YOU COULD 01:15:00.002 --> 01:15:03.153 LITERALLY RECITE THE 10 COMMANDMENTS FROM HEART? HOW 01:15:03.153 --> 01:15:06.302 MANY COULD DO IT? I COULD DO IT. I COULD DO IT. MOM, 01:15:06.302 --> 01:15:07.533 WEREN'T THOSE SOME OF OUR COMMANDMENTS? I THINK YOU 01:15:07.533 --> 01:15:10.172 HAD THEM NAILED UP IN MY, I THINK WHEN YOU WALKED IN OUR 01:15:10.172 --> 01:15:13.143 HOUSE, I THINK THESE ARE THE COMMANDMENTS, RIGHT? RIGHT, 01:15:13.143 --> 01:15:15.332 THOU SHALL DO THE DISHES, THOU SHALL MOW THE LAWN, 01:15:15.332 --> 01:15:17.761 THOU SHALL PICK UP THE LAUNDRY, THOU SHALL, YOU 01:15:17.761 --> 01:15:19.592 KNOW, THOU SHALL EAT AND FINISH YOUR FOOD, EVEN 01:15:19.592 --> 01:15:22.203 BROCCOLI AND ALL THAT. AND THEN MY MOM WOULD MAKE THIS 01:15:22.203 --> 01:15:24.243 NASTY, MOM, YOU REMEMBER THAT? YOU WOULD MAKE THIS 01:15:24.243 --> 01:15:27.292 LIKE BREAD STUFF AND MIX TOMATOES IN WITH IT. AND IT 01:15:27.292 --> 01:15:29.462 WOULD SMELL LIKE, NEVERMIND, MOM, WE'LL TALK ABOUT THAT 01:15:29.462 --> 01:15:31.911 LATER, HUH? SHE SAID IT'S GOOD. MOM, I STILL DON'T 01:15:31.911 --> 01:15:35.432 KNOW WHAT THEY CALL THAT. BREAD WITH TOMATOES, BUT SHE 01:15:35.432 --> 01:15:37.654 HAD TO FEED NINE PEOPLE, SO YOU KNOW, I MEAN, WHATEVER 01:15:37.654 --> 01:15:42.092 IT WAS, BUT I'VE NEVER HAD IT SINCE. BUT THE POINT WAS, 01:15:42.092 --> 01:15:45.842 WE LIVED BY THE 10 COMMANDMENTS. NOW I WANT US 01:15:45.842 --> 01:15:48.273 TO LOOK, AND I WANT THEM TO SEE AROUND THE WORLD. LOOK 01:15:48.273 --> 01:15:51.662 AT THE 10 COMMANDMENTS. THOU SHALL HAVE NO OTHER GODS 01:15:51.662 --> 01:15:54.932 BEFORE ME. THAT WAS THE FIRST COMMANDMENT. SECOND, 01:15:54.932 --> 01:15:59.912 THOU SHALL NOT MAKE ANY GRAVEN IMAGE OR HAVE IDOLS. 01:15:59.912 --> 01:16:03.693 THOU SHALL NOT TAKE THE NAME OF THE LORD GOD IN VAIN. NOW 01:16:03.693 --> 01:16:07.264 STOP RIGHT THERE. I WAS UNDER A PREACHER, USED TO BE 01:16:07.264 --> 01:16:08.943 THE PASTOR OF BELLEVUE CHRISTIAN CENTER HERE IN 01:16:08.943 --> 01:16:12.662 OMAHA. I WAS MENTORED BY SAM MAYO, GREAT MAN. HE'S IN 01:16:12.662 --> 01:16:17.762 HEAVEN NOW. AND YOU COULD NOT SAY IN HIS PRESENCE 01:16:17.762 --> 01:16:22.082 ANYTHING THAT WOULD SOUND CLOSE, LIKE GOSH, AND THEN 01:16:22.082 --> 01:16:25.682 USE THE WORD DARN. HE WOULD REBUKE YOU AND SAY, "HOW 01:16:25.682 --> 01:16:31.292 DARE YOU REPLACE?" YOU'RE STILL SAYING THE SAME THING. 01:16:31.292 --> 01:16:34.773 OR JIMINY, AND THEN PEOPLE WOULD SAY CRICKETS. HE WOULD 01:16:34.773 --> 01:16:38.462 JUST GO LIVE IT. BECAUSE HE'S LIKE, "YOU KNOW WHAT? 01:16:38.462 --> 01:16:42.752 "YOU SHOULD NEVER EVEN HAVE TO BE ANYTHING CLOSE. "GOD'S 01:16:42.752 --> 01:16:44.882 NAME IS SO HOLLOW, HIS NAME IS SO HONORED, "YOU 01:16:44.882 --> 01:16:50.222 SHOULDN'T EVER DO THAT." "BUT I KNOW CHRISTIANS THAT 01:16:50.222 --> 01:16:53.222 TAKE THE LORD'S NAME IN VAIN." THAT SHOULD NEVER 01:16:53.222 --> 01:16:55.953 EVER, AND LET ME ASK YOU A REAL QUESTION. DO YOU REALLY 01:16:55.953 --> 01:17:00.693 WANT GOD TO DAMN SOMETHING? I MEAN, I DIDN'T CUSS, DON'T 01:17:00.693 --> 01:17:02.403 WRITE ME AND SAY I DID THAT OR I'LL THINK YOU'RE A 01:17:02.403 --> 01:17:06.153 DIPSTICK. NOW HERE'S THE THING, I DIDN'T CUSS, BUT 01:17:06.153 --> 01:17:09.243 YOU SHOULD NEVER EVER USE THAT OUT OF YOUR MOUTH. AND 01:17:09.243 --> 01:17:12.903 THEN JESUS WHO BLED AND DIED FOR US TO LITERALLY TAKE HIS 01:17:12.903 --> 01:17:15.512 NAME IN VAIN, I THINK IT'S LIKE SLAPPING HIM IN THE 01:17:15.512 --> 01:17:19.023 FACE AND SPITTING RIGHT IN HIS FACE LIKE THEY DID. YOU 01:17:19.023 --> 01:17:21.603 SHOULD NEVER LET THAT FLY OUT OF YOUR MOUTH, NOT EVEN 01:17:21.603 --> 01:17:23.012 BY ACCIDENT, AND YOU SHOULDN'T USE ANY 01:17:23.012 --> 01:17:26.283 REPLACEMENTS. I'M JUST GONNA SET IT STRAIGHT, I DON'T 01:17:26.283 --> 01:17:28.773 THINK YOU DO, I THINK IT'S DISHONORABLE. OKAY, LET'S GO 01:17:28.773 --> 01:17:30.182 TO THE NEXT COMMANDMENTS, I KNOW YOU'RE NOT LIKING 01:17:30.182 --> 01:17:33.722 THESE, BUT LET'S GO ON. NOW NOTICE THE NEXT ONE. LOOK AT 01:17:33.722 --> 01:17:36.212 THIS ONE, WE'RE GONNA TALK ABOUT THIS ONE. REMEMBER THE 01:17:36.212 --> 01:17:39.182 SABBATH DAY TO KEEP IT HOLY. NOW, IN THE OLD TESTAMENT, 01:17:39.182 --> 01:17:42.453 THAT WAS A DAY OF REST. IN THE NEW TESTAMENT, IT WAS A 01:17:42.453 --> 01:17:45.483 DAY OF ASSEMBLING, RIGHT? THEY WOULD GATHER THE FIRST 01:17:45.483 --> 01:17:47.342 DAY OF THE WEEK, THE CHURCH, AND THEY WOULD GATHER AND 01:17:47.342 --> 01:17:50.613 THEY WOULD ASSEMBLE. BUT THE POINT IS, THEY WOULD HAVE A 01:17:50.613 --> 01:17:55.082 DAY THAT THEY WOULD REMEMBER GOD, AND THEY WOULD REMEMBER 01:17:55.082 --> 01:17:57.693 ALL THAT GOD DID FOR THEM. THAT'S REALLY WHY WE SHOULD 01:17:57.693 --> 01:18:00.092 COME TO CHURCH, IS GOD, WE'RE SO GRATEFUL, WE CAN'T 01:18:00.092 --> 01:18:02.943 WAIT TO COME TOGETHER TO WORSHIP YOU AND HONOR YOU. 01:18:02.943 --> 01:18:04.773 AND WE COULD DO THAT IN OUR HOME, BUT WE'RE TAKING THE 01:18:04.773 --> 01:18:07.472 EXTRA STEPS. OR IF WE ARE IN OUR HOME, WE'RE TAKING THE 01:18:07.472 --> 01:18:10.773 EXTRA STEPS TO WATCH THE SERVICE LIVE AND NOT JUST, 01:18:10.773 --> 01:18:14.103 YOU KNOW, WAIT TILL AFTER WE SLEEP IN TILL NOON, HAVE OUR 01:18:14.103 --> 01:18:16.172 BRUNCH AND THEN WATCH IT AT THREE O'CLOCK IN THE 01:18:16.172 --> 01:18:19.712 AFTERNOON. I THINK WE NEED TO START SHOWING GOD THAT WE 01:18:19.712 --> 01:18:22.443 ARE IN LOVE WITH HIM AND WE'RE WILLING TO TAKE THE 01:18:22.443 --> 01:18:25.443 NEXT STEPS. SO WE'RE GONNA TALK ABOUT THIS ONE. THOU 01:18:25.443 --> 01:18:28.353 SHOULD REMEMBER THE SABBATH, THERE, THOU SHOULD ASSEMBLE. 01:18:28.353 --> 01:18:30.932 NOTICE THE OTHER ONE, HONOR THY FATHER AND MOTHER. NOW, 01:18:30.932 --> 01:18:33.122 HERE'S HOW YOU COULD DIVIDE THE TWO COMMANDMENTS THAT 01:18:33.122 --> 01:18:37.622 JESUS SAID. LOVE GOD, LOVE PEOPLE. NOTICE THE FIRST 01:18:37.622 --> 01:18:42.722 FOUR THERE HAVE TO REALLY DO WITH GOD. IF YOU LOVE GOD, 01:18:42.722 --> 01:18:44.912 YOU'RE NOT GONNA HAVE ANY OTHER GODS. IF YOU LOVE GOD, 01:18:44.912 --> 01:18:46.832 YOU'RE NOT GONNA HAVE ANY GRAVEN IMAGES. IF YOU LOVE 01:18:46.832 --> 01:18:48.993 GOD, YOU'RE NOT GONNA TAKE HIS NAME. IF YOU LOVE GOD, 01:18:48.993 --> 01:18:53.073 YOU'RE GONNA RESPECT WHAT JESUS SAID AND SANG PSALM 01:18:53.073 --> 01:18:55.953 22. HE SANG ABOUT DWELLING IN HIS CHURCH, BEING WITH 01:18:55.953 --> 01:18:59.493 HIS CHURCH, BEING WITH HIS BROTHERS AND SISTERS. BUT 01:18:59.493 --> 01:19:01.773 THEN IT GOES, HOW YOU TREAT OTHER PEOPLE. THAT WAS THE 01:19:01.773 --> 01:19:03.962 SECOND COMMANDMENT. HONOR YOUR FATHER AND MOTHER, AND 01:19:03.962 --> 01:19:06.993 NOTICE HOW HOLY THAT IS. HONOR YOUR FATHER AND 01:19:06.993 --> 01:19:10.203 MOTHER. IT'S EVEN BEFORE KILLING SOMEBODY. IT'S EVEN 01:19:10.203 --> 01:19:12.962 BEFORE COMMITTING ADULTERY, STEALING, BEARING FALSE 01:19:12.962 --> 01:19:16.773 WITNESS, IS JUST HONOR YOUR MOM AND DAD. AND YOU KNOW, 01:19:16.773 --> 01:19:18.962 THE BIBLE SAYS, WE TAUGHT OUR KIDS THIS IN EPHESIANS 01:19:18.962 --> 01:19:22.773 6, WHEN THEY WERE LITTLE. CHILDREN, OBEY YOUR PARENTS. 01:19:22.773 --> 01:19:26.103 HONOR YOUR MOTHER AND FATHER IN LORD, FOR THIS IS RIGHT, 01:19:26.103 --> 01:19:28.052 THAT IT'LL BE WELL WITH YOU. WHY ARE WE SEEING A 01:19:28.052 --> 01:19:32.012 GENERATION SO MIXED UP? WHY DO WE SEE A 22 YEAR OLD KID 01:19:32.012 --> 01:19:35.342 DO WHAT HE DID? BECAUSE I BELIEVE SOMEWHERE IN HIS 01:19:35.342 --> 01:19:39.033 LIFE THERE'S A DISHONOR SOMEWHERE, NOT ONLY TO GOD, 01:19:39.033 --> 01:19:41.972 BUT A DISHONOR THREAD THAT SOMEHOW LEADS TO HIS 01:19:41.972 --> 01:19:45.422 PARENTS. THE BIBLE SAYS IF YOU HONOR YOUR MOTHER AND 01:19:45.422 --> 01:19:48.182 FATHER, IT'LL BE WELL WITH YOU AND YOU'LL LIVE LONG ON 01:19:48.182 --> 01:19:51.932 THE EARTH. WHY IS YOUNG PEOPLE'S SUICIDE SO RAMPANT? 01:19:51.932 --> 01:19:55.023 I THINK IT GOES BACK TO AN HONOR. NOW, PARENTS, LISTEN 01:19:55.023 --> 01:19:58.233 TO ME. WHEN YOUR KID IS HAVING A TEMPER TANTRUM, 01:19:58.233 --> 01:20:01.023 IT'S NOT THE TIME TO GIVE IN AND GIVE HIM A TIME OUT. 01:20:01.023 --> 01:20:05.943 GIVE HIM A SPANKING. IT'S NOT TIME TO CATER TO 01:20:05.943 --> 01:20:10.315 DISHONOR. THE KID CREATES A SCENE IN THE GROCERY STORE, 01:20:10.315 --> 01:20:13.052 AND NOW YOU'RE MAD. NOW YOU JUST GOTTA HAND HIM WHATEVER 01:20:13.052 --> 01:20:16.292 HE WANTS. YOU'RE SOWING DISHONOR IN YOUR KID. 01:20:16.292 --> 01:20:18.600 SOMEWHERE YOU HAVE TO ESTABLISH. AND LET ME TELL 01:20:18.600 --> 01:20:20.672 YOU SOMETHING ALSO. LISTEN TO ME, I KNOW THERE'S SOME 01:20:20.672 --> 01:20:23.643 OF YOU THAT ARE WATCHING TODAY, AND I'M NOT SPEAKING 01:20:23.643 --> 01:20:27.092 IN THIS SENSE BECAUSE IT'S HARD TO FIND A CHURCH. AND 01:20:27.092 --> 01:20:30.393 IF I WAS IN YOUR SHOES, I WOULD WATCH THIS CHURCH TOO. 01:20:30.393 --> 01:20:34.743 BUT WHAT I AM SAYING IS DON'T SLEEP IN. PARENTS THAT 01:20:34.743 --> 01:20:38.342 SLEEP IN, YOU ARE SENDING BAD MESSAGES TO NOT ONLY 01:20:38.342 --> 01:20:42.393 YOUR NEIGHBORS, BUT YOUR KIDS. YOU'RE SAYING THAT THE 01:20:42.393 --> 01:20:45.422 SABBATH DAY OR THE DAY TO ASSEMBLE IS NOT IMPORTANT. 01:20:46.443 --> 01:20:49.953 YOU'RE SAYING GOD'S NOT IMPORTANT. IF YOU DON'T GO 01:20:49.953 --> 01:20:54.302 TO CHURCH, WE'RE REALLY SAYING TO A GENERATION, GOD 01:20:54.302 --> 01:20:57.002 AND ASSEMBLING TOGETHER IS REALLY NOT AS IMPORTANT AS 01:20:57.002 --> 01:20:59.972 GOING TO A MOVIE, A SOCCER GAME, A FOOTBALL GAME, OR 01:20:59.972 --> 01:21:03.542 GOING TO SCHOOL. WHY IS IT THAT THE CHURCH ALWAYS HAS 01:21:03.542 --> 01:21:07.469 TO BE ON THE BOTTOM OF THE LIST OF WHAT WE DEEM 01:21:07.469 --> 01:21:12.179 IMPORTANT IN OUR COUNTRY, OR WHAT WE DEEM AS IMPORTANT IN 01:21:12.179 --> 01:21:15.809 ASSEMBLING? SOMEHOW, OH, I'M NOT INTO THAT CHURCH THING. 01:21:15.809 --> 01:21:18.238 I'M NOT INTO THAT GOD THING. I DON'T HAVE TIME TO GO TO 01:21:18.238 --> 01:21:20.854 CHURCH. I DON'T HAVE TIME TO GET UP AT NINE O'CLOCK IN 01:21:20.854 --> 01:21:24.210 THE MORNING AND GIVE SOME TIME TO GOD. IS THAT REALLY 01:21:24.210 --> 01:21:28.109 WHAT WE'RE SAYING? AND IF IT'S WHAT WE'RE SAYING, WE 01:21:28.109 --> 01:21:30.630 ARE SOWING DISHONOR, AND IT'S THE REASON, PUT THE 01:21:30.630 --> 01:21:33.840 COMMANDMENTS BACK UP, THAT NOT ONLY ARE WE SEEING 01:21:33.840 --> 01:21:36.090 DISHONORING OF FATHER AND MOTHER BUT WE'RE SEEING 01:21:36.090 --> 01:21:38.819 MURDER. WE SAW AN ASSASSINATION LAST WEEK. 01:21:39.960 --> 01:21:42.538 WHERE PEOPLE, AND THEN PEOPLE THAT ARE SICK, YES, I 01:21:42.538 --> 01:21:48.359 WILL SAY SICK, IN THE MEDIA. YOU ARE SICK PREACHERS THAT 01:21:48.359 --> 01:21:51.868 WOULDN'T EVEN MENTION IT. ANYBODY THAT GETS 01:21:51.868 --> 01:21:54.719 ASSASSINATED, I DON'T CARE IF THEY'RE LIBERAL, 01:21:54.719 --> 01:21:58.590 CONSERVATIVE, IN BETWEEN, I DON'T CARE IF THEY'RE BLACK, 01:21:58.590 --> 01:22:03.538 WHITE, RED, YELLOW, SHOULD NEVER, EVER BE SOMETHING 01:22:03.538 --> 01:22:12.212 THAT WE SUPPORT. IT IS DISGUSTING. AND I WANT TO 01:22:12.212 --> 01:22:19.349 SEE THE SAME PREACHERS THAT STOOD UP AND MADE RUCKUS 01:22:19.349 --> 01:22:25.738 ABOUT GEORGE FLOYD. AND YET YOU SAY NOTHING ABOUT THIS 01:22:25.738 --> 01:22:33.599 MAN. YOU OUGHT TO BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELF. IT'S WHY OUR 01:22:33.599 --> 01:22:37.710 COUNTRY IS BEING RULED BY A MINORITY OF PEOPLE, NOT 01:22:37.710 --> 01:22:41.903 COLOR, BUT THE SMALL NUMBER OF PEOPLE THAT SEEM TO HAVE 01:22:41.903 --> 01:22:45.479 THE LOUDEST VOICE THAT PERPETRATE THE WORST EVIL. 01:22:45.479 --> 01:22:48.210 AND THE CHURCH DOESN'T ASSEMBLE. THE CHURCH IS 01:22:48.210 --> 01:22:51.149 QUIET. PREACHERS ARE COWARDS, AND WE'RE LETTING 01:22:51.149 --> 01:22:56.130 THE LION MEDIA CONTINUALLY CREATE THE RACE CARD, THE 01:22:56.130 --> 01:23:00.921 NARRATIVE OF HATE, FUELING THIS KIND OF STUFF THAT GETS 01:23:00.921 --> 01:23:05.309 IN A BRAIN OF A 22-YEAR-OLD TO TAKE OUT A FAMILY MAN WHO 01:23:05.309 --> 01:23:10.170 IS LITERALLY JUST WANTING TO HAVE A DISCUSSION. OPEN 01:23:10.170 --> 01:23:18.719 DIALOGUE, FREEDOM OF SPEECH. AND HE NEVER DID ANYTHING TO 01:23:18.719 --> 01:23:22.349 SHOW ANY KIND OF VIOLENCE OR HATE. TELLING THE TRUTH, THE 01:23:23.460 --> 01:23:26.158 BIBLE TELLS US TO TELL THE TRUTH. SPEAK THE TRUTH IN 01:23:26.158 --> 01:23:29.760 LOVE. BUT WE GOTTA WAKE UP IN OUR COUNTRY. IT'S THE 01:23:29.760 --> 01:23:34.050 REASON, LOOK, DISHONOR. IT'S WHY PEOPLE ARE MURDERING. 01:23:34.050 --> 01:23:37.349 IT'S WHY PEOPLE ARE STEALING. IT'S WHY PEOPLE 01:23:37.349 --> 01:23:42.389 ARE BEARING FALSE WITNESS. I MEAN, IT'S AMAZING. IT'S 01:23:42.389 --> 01:23:45.210 AMAZING. MY KIDS CAME TO ME ONE TIME AND THEY SAID, 01:23:45.210 --> 01:23:49.170 "DAD, DAD, THIS IS WHEN GOD, BEFORE HE TOOK OUR, WHEN HE 01:23:49.170 --> 01:23:52.859 STARTED TAKING OUR MINISTRY WORLDWIDE." I DIDN'T ASK GOD 01:23:52.859 --> 01:23:56.429 TO DO THAT WITH MY MINISTRY. I DIDN'T ASK HIM TO PUT MY 01:23:56.429 --> 01:24:00.118 FACE OUT THERE EVERYWHERE. BUT WHAT I DID ASK HIM TO DO 01:24:00.118 --> 01:24:04.229 IS USE ME. AND I PROMISED HIM I WOULD TELL THE TRUTH. 01:24:04.229 --> 01:24:07.050 AND MY KIDS CAME TO ME AND SAID, DAD, DO YOU NOT 01:24:07.050 --> 01:24:10.170 UNDERSTAND WHAT THEY'RE SAYING ABOUT YOU, WHAT 01:24:10.170 --> 01:24:11.670 THEY'RE SAYING ABOUT CHURCH? I SAID, I'M NOT PAYING 01:24:11.670 --> 01:24:14.519 ATTENTION TO IT, NEITHER SHOULD YOU. IF THEY'RE GONNA 01:24:14.519 --> 01:24:16.979 LIE AND BEAR FALSE WITNESS, THEY'RE GONNA ACTUALLY HAVE 01:24:16.979 --> 01:24:22.920 TO TAKE IT UP AGAINST GOD. BECAUSE I KNOW WHO I AM, YOU 01:24:22.920 --> 01:24:26.698 KNOW WHO I AM, BUT MOST IMPORTANT, GOD DOES. AND I 01:24:26.698 --> 01:24:31.590 COULD GIVE A ROYAL RATS RUMP WHAT THEY HAVE TO SAY. 01:24:31.590 --> 01:24:36.420 BECAUSE WE ARE LOSING A GENERATION TODAY TO LIARS 01:24:36.420 --> 01:24:42.569 THROUGH THE MEDIA AND COWARDS BEHIND PULPITS. AND 01:24:42.569 --> 01:24:45.988 CONFUSED CHRISTIANS THAT DON'T HAVE A BACKBONE. AND 01:24:47.219 --> 01:24:50.212 IF THERE'S EVER A TIME TO ASSEMBLE IN OUR COUNTRY, IT 01:24:50.212 --> 01:24:54.029 IS NOW. IF THERE'S EVER A TIME WHERE WE SAY THAT WE 01:24:54.029 --> 01:24:58.649 LOVE JESUS, WE NEED TO COME TOGETHER TO BOLD CHURCHES 01:24:58.649 --> 01:25:04.139 AND BECOME A BOLD, MORAL MAJORITY THAT CAN SHIFT A 01:25:04.139 --> 01:25:09.868 GENERATION AND A COUNTRY FOR GOD. (AUDIENCE APPLAUDING) 01:25:09.868 --> 01:25:16.260 REMEMBER THE SABBATH DAY. WHY? TO KEEP IT SET APART. 01:25:16.260 --> 01:25:20.819 WHY IS IT THAT WE'RE SEEING IN TODAY THOSE WHO HATE THE 01:25:20.819 --> 01:25:23.788 LIGHT? THAT'S REALLY WHAT THAT WAS ABOUT IN THE 01:25:23.788 --> 01:25:26.908 ASSASSINATION. WAS SOMEBODY WHO HATED THE LIGHT. 01:25:26.908 --> 01:25:31.288 SOMEBODY WHO CAME IN TO SHINE LIGHT. IF YOU LOVE 01:25:31.288 --> 01:25:33.779 GOD, LET ME ASK YOU A QUESTION. SHOULD YOU LOVE 01:25:33.779 --> 01:25:37.819 HIS COMMANDS? SHOULD YOU LOVE WHAT GOD LOVES AND HATE 01:25:37.819 --> 01:25:41.969 WHAT HE HATES? IF GOD CALLS SOMETHING AN ABOMINATION, IS 01:25:41.969 --> 01:25:46.408 IT STILL AN ABOMINATION? IF GOD SAYS MARRIAGE IS BETWEEN 01:25:46.408 --> 01:25:52.738 TWO PEOPLE, A MAN AND A WOMAN, NONE OF THE SAME SEX, 01:25:52.738 --> 01:25:57.689 HOW IS THAT HATE? WHEN YOU'RE JUST ABSOLUTELY 01:25:57.689 --> 01:26:06.359 STANDING WITH YOUR FATHER? WHEN GOD SAYS THERE'S ONLY 01:26:06.359 --> 01:26:09.269 TWO GENDERS, MALE AND FEMALE, HOW IS IT HATE WHEN 01:26:09.269 --> 01:26:14.309 YOU'RE JUST ABSOLUTELY REPEATING THE GOD WHO SPUN 01:26:14.309 --> 01:26:18.988 THE PLANETS INTO SPACE, TOLD THE OCEANS WATER HOW FAR 01:26:18.988 --> 01:26:22.319 THEY COULD COME TO THE SHORES. YOU MEAN TO TELL ME 01:26:22.319 --> 01:26:25.229 YOU AND YOUR PRIDE ARE GONNA TELL GOD THAT HE DOESN'T 01:26:25.229 --> 01:26:30.960 KNOW WHAT HE'S SAYING? WHAT RIGHT DOES THAT WHICH IS 01:26:30.960 --> 01:26:35.939 CREATED HAVE TO TELL THE CREATOR, "THIS ISN'T RIGHT, 01:26:35.939 --> 01:26:39.090 DON'T DO THAT." BUT YET WE SIT THERE AND LISTEN TO THE 01:26:39.090 --> 01:26:42.420 MEDIA, WE SIT THERE AND LISTEN TO THE CULTURE, AND 01:26:42.420 --> 01:26:46.349 BEND AND BOW. AND IF WE ARE GOING TO GO BACK TO CHURCH, 01:26:46.349 --> 01:26:51.328 WE GOTTA GO BACK TO DOING THINGS GOD'S WAY. WE DON'T 01:26:51.328 --> 01:26:55.408 NEED TO JUST BE SITTING IN A PEW, TAKING UP A SEAT, 01:26:56.488 --> 01:27:00.157 TAKING UP STREAM TIME. WE HAVE GOT TO BE PEOPLE WITH A 01:27:00.157 --> 01:27:04.408 PURPOSE. THE REASON OUR COUNTRY FOR THE LAST 40 01:27:04.408 --> 01:27:07.559 YEARS HAS BEEN LIKE IT IS BECAUSE PEOPLE QUIT GOING TO 01:27:07.559 --> 01:27:13.948 CHURCH. THEY LET THE SECULAR CULTURE TELL US THAT CHURCH, 01:27:13.948 --> 01:27:18.599 GOD, CHRISTIANITY WASN'T IMPORTANT. AND YET IT'S 01:27:18.599 --> 01:27:20.698 AMAZING TO ME THAT THE DEVIL KNEW HOW IMPORTANT THE 01:27:20.698 --> 01:27:26.698 CHURCH WAS. SO DID THE LOONY LIBERAL LEFTS. WHEN NOTICE 01:27:26.698 --> 01:27:32.609 THEY WEREN'T SHUTTING DOWN VERY MANY THINGS EXCEPT THE 01:27:32.609 --> 01:27:37.922 PLAN, PURPOSE, TARGETED ATTACK AGAINST CHURCHES TO SHUT THEM 01:27:37.922 --> 01:27:44.917 DOWN. IF THEY KNEW HOW IMPORTANT AND VITAL THE CHURCH IS, WHEN 01:27:44.917 --> 01:27:48.250 ARE WE GONNA GET IT? (CONGREGATION APPLAUDING) 01:27:48.250 --> 01:27:51.868 JESUS SAID THE CHURCH WON'T, THE GATES OF 01:27:51.868 --> 01:27:55.948 HELL CANNOT PREVAIL. NOTHING ON THIS PLANET CAN PREVAIL 01:27:55.948 --> 01:28:00.300 IF WE WILL RALLY AROUND JESUS CHRIST AND ONE 01:28:00.300 --> 01:28:03.988 ANOTHER. THERE'S NOTHING THAT THE ENEMY COULD DO. NOT 01:28:03.988 --> 01:28:06.988 ALL THE EVIL WE'RE SEEING, NOT ALL THE COMPROMISE, NOT 01:28:06.988 --> 01:28:10.618 ALL THE CRAZY THINGS THAT PEOPLE ARE BELIEVING. IT 01:28:10.618 --> 01:28:13.439 WOULD NOT PREVAIL IF WE WOULD JUST GO BACK TO 01:28:13.439 --> 01:28:16.800 HONORING GOD, HONORING ONE ANOTHER, AND THE POWER OF 01:28:16.800 --> 01:28:21.988 OUR ASSEMBLY. I BELIEVE IT'S THE REASON THAT WE HAVE A 01:28:21.988 --> 01:28:24.840 GENERATION WHERE THEY CALL EVIL GOOD AND GOOD EVIL. I 01:28:24.840 --> 01:28:26.939 BELIEVE IT'S THE REASON WE'RE SEEING PEOPLE BENT ON 01:28:26.939 --> 01:28:30.658 WICKEDNESS, CORRUPTION, TWISTED IDEOLOGIES. IT'S 01:28:30.658 --> 01:28:33.538 BECAUSE OF THIS ONE SCRIPTURE. LOOK AT HEBREWS 01:28:33.538 --> 01:28:36.689 CHAPTER 10, VERSE 25. WE'RE GONNA LOOK AT IT OUT OF TWO 01:28:36.689 --> 01:28:41.038 TRANSLATIONS. NOW THESE AREN'T PASTOR HANK'S WORDS. 01:28:41.038 --> 01:28:43.529 THESE ARE THE WRITER OF THE BOOK OF HEBREWS WHO PEOPLE 01:28:43.529 --> 01:28:46.920 THINK IS THE APOSTLE PAUL. NOTICE ONE OF THE THINGS 01:28:46.920 --> 01:28:53.158 THAT HE SAID WAS SO IMPORTANT. HE SAID, "DO NOT 01:28:53.158 --> 01:28:59.130 FORSAKE OUR MEETING TOGETHER "AS BELIEVERS FOR WORSHIP 01:28:59.130 --> 01:29:03.719 AND INSTRUCTION." DON'T FORSAKE IT, DON'T FORGET IT, 01:29:03.719 --> 01:29:07.559 DON'T NEGLECT IT, DON'T GET INTO SOME BAD HABITS, DON'T 01:29:07.559 --> 01:29:11.069 THINK IT'S NOT IMPORTANT, DON'T LET THE CULTURE, DON'T 01:29:11.069 --> 01:29:18.448 LET POLITICS TALK YOU OUT OF THE IMPORTANCE OF YOU, THE 01:29:18.448 --> 01:29:21.748 CHURCH, COMING TOGETHER, BEING TOGETHER. COME ON, 01:29:21.748 --> 01:29:25.078 GATHERING, MAKE YOURSELF. IF OUR CHURCH SERVICE STARTS AT 01:29:25.078 --> 01:29:28.050 NINE O'CLOCK AND I'M YOUR PASTOR AND THIS IS YOUR 01:29:28.050 --> 01:29:32.219 CHURCH LIVESTREAM, YOU NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU'RE NOT 01:29:32.219 --> 01:29:36.538 LATE FOR CHURCH. NOW I UNDERSTAND SOME DAYS YOU 01:29:36.538 --> 01:29:39.689 CAN'T GET UP AND YOU GOTTA REST IN AND STUFF, BUT IF 01:29:39.689 --> 01:29:43.469 YOU'RE REALLY GONNA DEEM THE IMPORTANCE OF GOD USING 01:29:43.469 --> 01:29:48.238 TECHNOLOGY TO COME INTO YOUR HOME OR WHERE YOU WATCH, 01:29:48.238 --> 01:29:51.359 THEN PUT GREATER VALUE ON IT. MAYBE YOU OUGHTA DRESS 01:29:51.359 --> 01:29:54.448 UP RATHER THAN BE IN YOUR PAJAMAS. MAYBE YOU OUGHTA 01:29:54.448 --> 01:29:57.988 NOT EAT DURING THE CHURCH SERVICE. MAYBE YOU OUGHTA 01:29:57.988 --> 01:30:00.809 NOT JUST CLICK FROM CHURCH SERVICE TO CHURCH SERVICE. I 01:30:00.809 --> 01:30:02.340 DON'T LIKE WHAT PASTOR HANK'S SAYING, SO I'M GONNA 01:30:02.340 --> 01:30:07.948 SWITCH IT. YOU SEE, THIS IS HOW THINGS CREEP INTO OUR 01:30:07.948 --> 01:30:10.738 CULTURE BEFORE WE KNOW IT. AND THEN WE WONDER WHY WE 01:30:10.738 --> 01:30:15.599 SAW A 31-YEAR-OLD MAN HAVING DISCUSSIONS ON COLLEGE 01:30:15.599 --> 01:30:21.149 CAMPUS, GUNNED DOWN WITH TWO KIDS AND A WIFE THAT IS 01:30:21.149 --> 01:30:26.969 LITERALLY AFFECTING HUNDREDS OF MILLION PEOPLE. BECAUSE I 01:30:26.969 --> 01:30:29.279 GUARANTEE IF THE GOD FACTOR AND THE CHURCH FACTOR WOULD 01:30:29.279 --> 01:30:31.139 HAVE BEEN STRONGER OVER THE LAST 40 YEARS WHEN THEY TOOK 01:30:31.139 --> 01:30:34.889 THE 10 COMMANDMENTS OUT, PRAYER OUT OF SCHOOL, RIGHT? 01:30:34.889 --> 01:30:37.469 WHEN THEY STARTED PUTTING SEXUALLY EXPLOITED MATERIAL 01:30:37.469 --> 01:30:41.219 AND SHOVING IT INTO THE CLASSROOMS, INTO THE 01:30:41.219 --> 01:30:44.578 LIBRARIES, RIGHT? AND THEN THE TWISTED, CROOKED 01:30:44.578 --> 01:30:47.969 SUPERINTENDENTS AND SCHOOL BOARDS THAT ARE PEDOPHILES 01:30:47.969 --> 01:30:51.630 THEMSELVES IF THEY CANNOT THROW THAT MATERIAL OUT. BUT 01:30:51.630 --> 01:30:55.349 YET, YOU'RE NOT ALLOWED TO BRING A BIBLE INTO SCHOOL. I 01:30:55.349 --> 01:30:57.960 HAVE TO SAY, SOMEWHERE PEOPLE STOPPED GOING TO 01:30:57.960 --> 01:31:02.189 CHURCH. CHURCH WASN'T IMPORTANT. AND THEN, HERE'S 01:31:02.189 --> 01:31:05.578 THE BIG ONE. THE JOHNSON AMENDMENT CAME OUT, RIGHT? 01:31:05.578 --> 01:31:07.710 MAN, IF YOU LIKE LYNDON JOHNSON, YOU OUGHT TO GO 01:31:07.710 --> 01:31:10.738 READ ABOUT HIM. THE KENNEDY FILES CAME OUT, IT WAS 01:31:10.738 --> 01:31:14.248 PRETTY OBVIOUS, WHERE HE WAS INVOLVED IN TAKING OUT 01:31:14.248 --> 01:31:18.809 KENNEDY. HE WAS INVOLVED IN HIS ASSASSINATION. AND THEN 01:31:18.809 --> 01:31:22.670 HE KEPT CONTINUING, LET'S ASSASSINATE PRAYER IN 01:31:22.670 --> 01:31:27.050 SCHOOL. LET'S ASSASSINATE THE BLACK RACE. LET'S GO 01:31:27.050 --> 01:31:30.619 AHEAD AND FORM PLANNED PARENTHOOD, AND LET'S LINK 01:31:30.619 --> 01:31:33.079 UP WITH THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY, AND LET'S TELL THEM 01:31:33.079 --> 01:31:36.697 THAT WE ARE THE DEMOCRATS, THE FRIEND OF THE BLACK MAN. 01:31:38.060 --> 01:31:47.239 AND THEY LIED. ALL UNDER JOHNSON'S. AND THEN THEY GET 01:31:47.239 --> 01:31:51.979 AN AMENDMENT WHERE, IF YOU'RE A PREACHER, YOU CAN'T 01:31:51.979 --> 01:32:00.439 SAY ANYTHING POLITICAL. AND PASTORS ALLOWED THAT TO SHUT 01:32:00.439 --> 01:32:06.020 THEM UP AND COWERED. AND NOW WE'VE GOT CONFLICTED 01:32:06.020 --> 01:32:08.810 CHRISTIANS WHO DON'T GO TO CHURCH, OR IF THEY GO TO 01:32:08.810 --> 01:32:12.079 CHURCH, THEY MIGHT AS WELL JUST STAY HOME BECAUSE THEY 01:32:12.079 --> 01:32:14.300 AIN'T GETTING EMPOWERED TO DO ANYTHING TO MAKE A 01:32:14.300 --> 01:32:19.340 DIFFERENCE ANYWHERE. AND YOU GET PEOPLE ARGUING, FIGHTING 01:32:19.340 --> 01:32:22.442 OVER THINGS THAT GOD MADE IT SO CLEAR IN SCRIPTURE. 01:32:26.534 --> 01:32:28.333 I WAS TRYING TO BE NICE TODAY, I AM, OKAY. 01:32:28.340 --> 01:32:30.829 (CONGREGATION LAUGHING) DO WE HAVE THE NEW CENTURY 01:32:30.829 --> 01:32:33.739 VERSION BACK THERE OF THAT ONE? OKAY, LOOK AT THE NEW 01:32:33.739 --> 01:32:36.800 CENTURY VERSION. YOU SHOULD NOT STAY AWAY FROM CHURCH 01:32:36.800 --> 01:32:40.880 MEETINGS AS SOME ARE DOING, BUT YOU SHOULD MEET 01:32:40.880 --> 01:32:46.340 TOGETHER. WHY? IT ENCOURAGES ONE ANOTHER. DO THIS EVEN 01:32:46.340 --> 01:32:48.109 MORE AS YOU SEE THE DAY COMING. WHAT DAY? WELL, 01:32:48.109 --> 01:32:50.328 JESUS HAS RETURNED, BUT HOW ABOUT AN EVIL DAY? 01:32:52.547 --> 01:32:54.766 I MEAN, IT'S AMAZING TO ME. I REMEMBER WHEN BILL 01:32:54.770 --> 01:32:58.640 CLINTON WENT IN TO THE OVAL OFFICE AND HAD THAT LITTLE 01:32:58.640 --> 01:33:07.310 INTERN COME IN. REMEMBER? AND THEN HE STOOD UP. I DID 01:33:07.310 --> 01:33:16.460 NOT HAVE A RELATIONSHIP WITH THAT WOMAN. YOU LIAR. YOUR 01:33:16.460 --> 01:33:19.939 PANTS ARE ON FIRE 'CAUSE YOU WEREN'T WEARING THEM. BUT 01:33:19.939 --> 01:33:28.505 HERE'S THE POINT. I REMEMBER PRAYING. I KNOW SOME OF YOU 01:33:28.505 --> 01:33:30.380 ARE VISITING AND GOING, "OH MY GOD, NO, I'M LIKE THIS 01:33:30.380 --> 01:33:34.159 EVERY SUNDAY." AND I WASN'T ABOUT TO BE SOMETHING THAT 01:33:34.159 --> 01:33:37.069 I'M NOT. BECAUSE IF YOU WANNA COME BACK HERE, I'D 01:33:37.069 --> 01:33:40.369 RATHER YOU KNOW HOW I AM AND HOW THIS CHURCH IS. BECAUSE 01:33:40.369 --> 01:33:42.920 IF YOU'RE REALLY SERIOUS ABOUT GOD, YOU'RE SERIOUS 01:33:42.920 --> 01:33:46.069 ABOUT THE TRUTH, YOU'RE SERIOUS ABOUT A REAL GOD 01:33:46.069 --> 01:33:49.880 EXPERIENCE RATHER THAN A CHURCH EXPERIENCE, I'D 01:33:49.880 --> 01:33:53.090 RATHER YOU KNOW HOW I AM NOW SO I DON'T DISAPPOINT YOU. 01:33:53.090 --> 01:33:55.399 AND YOU COME BACK NEXT WEEK, OH MY GOD, HE CHANGED, IS HE 01:33:55.399 --> 01:33:59.630 JEKYLL AND HYDE? NO, I'M THE SAME WAY ALL THE TIME. BUT I 01:33:59.630 --> 01:34:02.090 REMEMBER FASTING AND PRAYING AFTER THAT HAPPENED AND GOD 01:34:02.090 --> 01:34:04.670 SAID TO ME, "WHAT HAS BEEN DONE IN THE HIGH OFFICE OF 01:34:04.670 --> 01:34:07.579 THE LAND "IS NOW GONNA TOUCH THE CHILDREN OF THE LAND." 01:34:07.579 --> 01:34:10.550 AND IF YOU LOOK AT WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO CHILDREN AND 01:34:10.550 --> 01:34:13.699 CORRUPTION, THEY DON'T GO TO CHURCH ANYMORE, RIGHT? 01:34:13.699 --> 01:34:16.369 THEY'RE INTO MORE ABOUT WHAT AI HAS TO SAY THAN GOD 01:34:16.369 --> 01:34:20.720 ALMIGHTY, I AM HAS TO SAY. I REMEMBER WHEN OBAMA GOT 01:34:20.720 --> 01:34:25.880 ELECTED. AND HE LIT UP THE WHITE HOUSE IN RAINBOW 01:34:25.880 --> 01:34:30.199 COLORS. AND PEOPLE REJOICE, "OH, A BLACK-SKINNED 01:34:30.199 --> 01:34:32.329 PRESIDENT. WE FINALLY GOT A BLACK-SKINNED PRESIDENT." 01:34:32.329 --> 01:34:34.970 REALLY? YEAH, BUT LOOK AT HIS DARK POLICIES. HE 01:34:34.970 --> 01:34:37.399 CREATED A LOT OF THE RACE CARD THAT WE'RE HAVING IN 01:34:37.399 --> 01:34:39.710 AMERICA. AND I'M NOT SAYING THAT, YOU CAN CALL ME A 01:34:39.710 --> 01:34:42.800 WHITE SUPREMACIST ALL DAY LONG, BUT GO BACK AND LOOK 01:34:42.800 --> 01:34:48.229 AT IT. RATHER THAN STAND UP WHEN HE HAD THAT ONE THING 01:34:48.229 --> 01:34:50.479 HAPPEN IN MISSOURI OF THAT LITTLE BLACK BOY AND SAID, 01:34:50.479 --> 01:34:54.170 "OH, HE COULD ALMOST BE ME, FERGUSON, MISSOURI." WHY 01:34:54.170 --> 01:34:57.649 DIDN'T HE STAND UP AND SAY, "YOU KNOW WHAT? "WE NEED TO 01:34:57.649 --> 01:35:00.350 BRING LAW ENFORCEMENT BACK TO THE COMMUNITY. "WE NEED 01:35:00.350 --> 01:35:05.539 DAYS LIKE IN THE DAYS," COME ON, OF MEMBER, WHAT WAS 01:35:05.539 --> 01:35:10.340 THAT? MEMBER DON KNOTTS, HE STARRED IN MAYBERRY. WE NEED 01:35:10.340 --> 01:35:13.310 MAYBERRIES WHERE THERE WAS A TRUE CONNECTION WITH LAW 01:35:13.310 --> 01:35:15.649 ENFORCEMENT, LAW ENFORCEMENT COMMUNITY. AND WE NEED TO 01:35:15.649 --> 01:35:18.710 MAKE SURE WE GET ALL THE FACTS. NO, HE CREATED THE 01:35:18.710 --> 01:35:22.699 RACE CARD. AND HIM AND JESSE JACKSON, WHO THE HECK IS 01:35:22.699 --> 01:35:26.720 JESSE JACKSON? AL SHOPTON, THEY ONLY SHOW UP WHEN THEY 01:35:26.720 --> 01:35:30.800 NEED SOME MONEY FOR THE LOBBYING. BUT THEY CREATED 01:35:30.800 --> 01:35:40.189 THE RACE CARD. UNDER OBAMA. AND THE LORD SPOKE TO MEL 01:35:40.189 --> 01:35:42.319 HART AT THAT TIME AND HE SAID, "HANK, YOU DON'T 01:35:42.319 --> 01:35:44.930 UNDERSTAND WHAT HE IS STANDING FOR, "I DON'T STAND 01:35:44.930 --> 01:35:49.181 FOR." AND IT'S GOING TO CREATE THE MELTING POT OF THIS NATION 01:35:49.216 --> 01:35:52.519 IS GOING TO BECOME THE GREAT BOILING POT. "WHAT HAVE YOU SEEN 01:35:52.551 --> 01:35:56.689 SINCE THEN?" WELL HOW ABOUT DONALD J. TRUMP? YOU CAN SAY 01:35:56.722 --> 01:35:59.091 WHAT YOU WANT ABOUT HIM BUT HE'S AMERICA FIRST, HE'S FIRST 01:35:59.126 --> 01:36:02.194 FOR YOU. BUT HERE'S WHAT I LOVE. HE'S THE ONLY ONE IN 01:36:02.229 --> 01:36:05.765 MODERN TIMES, THAT I'VE BEEN ALIVE ALMOST 60 YEARS, THAT HE'S 01:36:05.798 --> 01:36:09.235 THE ONLY ONE THAT'S NOT AFRAID TO SAY THE NAME OF JESUS, NOT IN 01:36:09.269 --> 01:36:11.971 PROFANITY. HE'S THE ONLY ONE THAT SAYS WE NEED GOD IN OUR 01:36:12.005 --> 01:36:15.050 COUNTRY. WE NEED GOD IN OUR SCHOOLS. WE 01:36:15.050 --> 01:36:18.319 NEED GOD IN OUR HOMES. WE NEED GOD IN OUR NATION. WE 01:36:18.319 --> 01:36:21.350 NEED GOD IN OUR STREETS. WE NEED GOD IN OUR COMMUNITY. 01:36:21.350 --> 01:36:24.260 WHETHER YOU THINK HE'S GUILTY OF 41 INDICTMENTS 01:36:24.260 --> 01:36:27.859 THAT DIDN'T GO ANYWHERE OR NOT, THE BOTTOM LINE IS HE 01:36:27.859 --> 01:36:31.520 IS UNDERSTANDING A POWERFUL PRINCIPLE. YOU CANNOT 01:36:31.520 --> 01:36:35.300 FUNCTION AS A HUMAN BEING, YOU CAN'T FUNCTION AS A 01:36:35.300 --> 01:36:38.000 TEENAGER, YOU CANNOT FUNCTION IN YOUR MARRIAGE, 01:36:38.000 --> 01:36:41.119 YOU CANNOT FUNCTION IN AMERICA, YOUR CITIES, YOUR 01:36:41.119 --> 01:36:44.449 SCHOOLS, YOUR COMMUNITIES, YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD, WITHOUT 01:36:44.449 --> 01:36:49.340 THE GOD FACTOR. (CONGREGATION APPLAUDING) 01:36:49.340 --> 01:36:53.270 AND THAT'S WHY WE NEED TO GET BACK TO CHURCH. BECAUSE 01:36:53.270 --> 01:36:56.090 WE'VE HAD EVERYTHING IN OUR SOCIETY AND OUR CULTURE FOR 01:36:56.090 --> 01:36:59.689 THE LAST 50 YEARS, AT LEAST THAT I REMEMBER, THAT HAS 01:36:59.689 --> 01:37:03.260 DONE EVERYTHING TO TAKE GOD OUT. WOULDN'T IT BE GREAT TO 01:37:03.260 --> 01:37:08.210 SHOW HOW IMPORTANT GOD IS AND GET BACK TO CHURCH? 01:37:11.149 --> 01:37:14.239 START MAKING GOD A PRIORITY, I THINK IT'S GONNA SHIFT. 01:37:14.239 --> 01:37:16.789 NOW LET ME SHOW YOU, THIS IS VERY POWERFUL. LOOK AT LUKE 01:37:16.789 --> 01:37:20.510 CHAPTER FOUR. DO YOU KNOW JESUS HAD HABITS? HOW MANY 01:37:20.510 --> 01:37:22.220 OF YOU HAVE SOME HABITS THAT YOU WISH YOU COULD BREAK? WE 01:37:22.220 --> 01:37:29.420 WON'T DISCUSS WHAT THEY ARE. ANYBODY HAVE ANY HABITS? MY 01:37:29.420 --> 01:37:32.420 BIGGEST HABIT IS IN THE MORNING AT COFFEE, HEY 01:37:32.420 --> 01:37:39.260 BRENDA, WHAT'S FOR DINNER? RIGHT? AND THEN I USED TO 01:37:39.260 --> 01:37:40.520 HAVE A HABIT WHEN I FIRST GOT MARRIED, I'VE BEEN 01:37:40.520 --> 01:37:44.338 MARRIED 36 YEARS, 36, SORRY BRENDA, I KNEW 36 YEARS, I 01:37:44.338 --> 01:37:46.039 WAS JUST TESTING YOU TO SEE IF YOU WERE GONNA SAY 01:37:46.039 --> 01:37:50.569 ANYTHING. BUT WHERE I WOULD LEAVE THE TOILET SEAT UP. 01:37:50.569 --> 01:37:54.470 THAT LASTED ABOUT A WEEK. BUT I TOLD HER, I SAID, 01:37:54.470 --> 01:38:00.109 REALLY, THE MEN HAVE MORE, I MEAN, IT'S MORE EFFORT TO 01:38:00.109 --> 01:38:03.949 PICK IT UP AND THEN PUT IT BACK DOWN THAN TO JUST HAVE 01:38:03.949 --> 01:38:08.779 IT DOWN. YOU SEE HOW MUCH WE HAVE TO WORK FOR OUR ROLE 01:38:08.779 --> 01:38:12.409 HERE? (CONGREGATION LAUGHING) COME ON, MEN, 01:38:12.409 --> 01:38:16.609 YOU'RE NOT BAILING ME OUT. THEY'RE SCARED, THEY'RE 01:38:16.609 --> 01:38:18.590 SCARED. THEY DON'T WANNA SAY ANYTHING. ALL THE WOMEN ARE 01:38:18.590 --> 01:38:20.659 LOOKING AT THEM, THE WIVES ARE GOING, "DON'T YOU SAY 01:38:20.659 --> 01:38:24.710 ANYTHING. "IF YOU DARE REVERT BACK, YOU'LL GO 01:38:24.710 --> 01:38:28.365 OUTSIDE." THAT'S ANOTHER THING. HOW MANY EVER BEEN TO 01:38:28.365 --> 01:38:33.109 A RESTAURANT AND THE WOMAN GETS UP, "WHERE ARE THE 01:38:33.109 --> 01:38:37.729 LADIES ROOM?" "OH, JUST FIVE FEET RIGHT OVER HERE." THE 01:38:37.729 --> 01:38:41.630 DUDE STANDS UP. "YEAH, WHERE'S THE MEN'S ROOM?" 01:38:41.630 --> 01:38:45.289 "OH, SEE THAT HALL, GO DOWN THE HALL, "OUT THE BACK 01:38:45.289 --> 01:38:49.609 DOORS, THROUGH THE ALLEY, "ROUND THE TREES, PAST THE 01:38:49.609 --> 01:38:52.340 DUMPSTER, "AND THERE'S AN OUTHOUSE OUT THERE FOR THE 01:38:52.340 --> 01:38:56.329 MEN." AND SO THEN THE MEN COME BACK, THE FOOD'S COLD, 01:38:56.329 --> 01:38:59.539 20 MINUTES LATER, "WHERE WERE YOU?" "DOWN THE ALLEY, 01:38:59.539 --> 01:39:03.350 THROUGH THE DOORS, PAST THE TREES, NEXT TO THE DUMPSTER, 01:39:03.350 --> 01:39:07.520 THERE WAS AN OUT HOUSE." YOU ALL HERE, IS IT BACK TO 01:39:07.520 --> 01:39:10.423 CHURCH, AND YOU ALL DON'T WANNA? OKAY, ALL RIGHT, 01:39:10.423 --> 01:39:12.920 ANYWAY, LET'S GO. ALL RIGHT, LOOK AT LUKE CHAPTER FOUR, 01:39:12.920 --> 01:39:15.109 VERSE SIX, I'M GONNA FINISH UP, 'CAUSE SOME OF YOU ARE 01:39:15.109 --> 01:39:20.119 LIKE, "I GOT TO GET THE HECK OUT OF THIS PLACE. I JUST 01:39:20.119 --> 01:39:25.579 CAME FOR THE FOOD, MAN." NO, I GUARANTEE YOU, MOST TIME 01:39:25.579 --> 01:39:27.140 WHEN PEOPLE GO TO CHURCH, THEY DON'T REMEMBER ANYTHING 01:39:27.140 --> 01:39:29.960 THE PREACHER SAYS. YOU'LL REMEMBER WHAT I SAID. 01:39:29.960 --> 01:39:32.510 ESPECIALLY WHEN I MADE THE COMMENT ABOUT, OH, BILLY BOY 01:39:32.510 --> 01:39:35.000 CLINTON, YOU'LL REMEMBER THAT. I'LL GUARANTEE YOU'LL 01:39:35.000 --> 01:39:40.445 REMEMBER THAT ONE. I KNOW YOU WILL. YOU MAY HATE ME, 01:39:40.445 --> 01:39:42.050 YOU MAY NOT LIKE MY SERMON, BUT YOU'RE GONNA REMEMBER 01:39:42.050 --> 01:39:47.810 IT. YES, YOU WILL. COME ON, THE PEOPLE THAT COME HERE, 01:39:47.810 --> 01:39:49.550 WOULD YOU HELP ME OUT? I'M STARTING TO THINK YOU DON'T 01:39:49.550 --> 01:39:51.123 LIKE ME EITHER. I MEAN, YOU'RE JUST LOOKING AT ME 01:39:51.123 --> 01:39:58.010 LIKE, I BROUGHT MY MOM, PASTOR. WELL, DIDN'T YOU 01:39:58.010 --> 01:40:04.189 TELL HER HOW I WAS? LOOK AT LUKE 4:16. JESUS CAME TO 01:40:04.189 --> 01:40:07.100 NAZARETH WHERE HE HAD BEEN BROUGHT UP. AND AS HIS HABIT 01:40:07.100 --> 01:40:11.030 WAS, HE WENT TO THE SYNAGOGUE. HE WENT TO CHURCH 01:40:12.109 --> 01:40:15.829 AND STOOD UP TO READ. SO JESUS HAD HABITS. AND ONE OF 01:40:15.829 --> 01:40:20.149 HIS GODLY HABITS WAS HE PRIORITIZED THE ASSEMBLING 01:40:20.149 --> 01:40:24.350 TOGETHER. COME ON, IF JESUS DID THIS, HOW MUCH MORE 01:40:24.350 --> 01:40:27.649 WOULD IT BE FOR US? I KNOW WE GET BUSY, I KNOW WE HAVE 01:40:27.649 --> 01:40:31.310 SCHEDULES, BUT YOU KNOW WHAT? I JUST FEEL LIKE OUR 01:40:31.310 --> 01:40:34.460 COUNTRY IS IN A SHIFT CHANGE. OUR COUNTRY, IN 01:40:34.460 --> 01:40:38.539 HONOR OF CHARLIE KIRK, IS ABSOLUTELY COME TO A TURNING 01:40:38.539 --> 01:40:40.880 POINT. I WANNA SHOW YOU A SCRIPTURE OUT OF PSALM 24 01:40:40.880 --> 01:40:42.619 THAT I THINK IS GONNA ENCOURAGE YOU. LOOK AT IT 01:40:42.619 --> 01:40:44.989 OUT OF THE AMPLIFIED, AND I REALLY BELIEVE THAT THIS IS 01:40:44.989 --> 01:40:48.590 WHAT GOD IS SAYING TO US. WE'RE NOT WITHOUT HOPE. ALL 01:40:48.590 --> 01:40:50.779 OF THOSE KIDS ON THOSE COLLEGE CAMPUSES, I MEAN, 01:40:50.779 --> 01:40:53.210 EVEN WHEN THEY WENT DOWN TO UNO, THERE WAS A FEW PEOPLE 01:40:53.210 --> 01:40:55.460 THAT GAVE THEIR LIVES TO THE LORD. I BELIEVE THAT THIS 01:40:55.460 --> 01:40:57.829 SCRIPTURE IS BEING FULFILLED RIGHT NOW IN OUR HEARING. 01:40:57.829 --> 01:41:01.430 LOOK AT THIS. IT SAYS, "THIS IS THE GENERATION," 01:41:01.430 --> 01:41:06.500 DESCRIPTION, "OF THOSE WHO WILL DILIGENTLY SEEK GOD 01:41:06.500 --> 01:41:09.109 "AND REQUIRE HIM AT THEIR GREATEST NEED." I DON'T 01:41:09.109 --> 01:41:10.699 THINK THERE'S EVER A TIME WHERE WE'RE LIKE, GOD, WE 01:41:10.699 --> 01:41:13.939 NEED YOU. THEY'RE GONNA SEEK YOUR FACE, EVEN AS DID 01:41:13.939 --> 01:41:17.180 JACOB. I BELIEVE THERE'S A GENERATION THAT IS SEEKING 01:41:17.180 --> 01:41:20.300 THE FACE OF GOD. I BELIEVE THAT WHAT THE DEVIL MEANT 01:41:20.300 --> 01:41:22.279 FOR EVIL, GOD'S GONNA TURN IT AROUND AND WE'RE GONNA 01:41:22.279 --> 01:41:25.909 START SEEING CHURCH HOUSES FILLED UP. I WANNA SHOW YOU 01:41:25.909 --> 01:41:29.300 NOW, I TOLD YOU THAT LIVE STREAM IS IN THE BIBLE. IT 01:41:30.511 --> 01:41:33.886 IS, NO, I'M SERIOUS, IT IS. I WAS STUDYING THIS LAST 01:41:33.886 --> 01:41:36.225 WEEK AND I WAS GONNA PREACH MY OTHER MESSAGE. MAYBE I 01:41:36.225 --> 01:41:38.145 SHOULD HAVE DONE THAT 'CAUSE SOME OF YOUR PEOPLE WILL 01:41:38.145 --> 01:41:42.105 COME BACK NEXT WEEK, BUT HERE'S THE POINT. AND I'M 01:41:42.105 --> 01:41:46.305 TYPING AND I'VE READ THIS SCRIPTURE LIKE 100 TIMES, 01:41:46.305 --> 01:41:48.837 QUOTED IT 100 TIMES, PREACHED IT 100 TIMES, AND 01:41:48.837 --> 01:41:50.235 I'M SITTING THERE, AND HOW MANY OF YOU EVER HAD IT 01:41:50.235 --> 01:41:53.025 WHERE THE HOLY SPIRIT SPEAKS TO YOUR HEART? AND I HEARD 01:41:53.025 --> 01:41:56.296 THE HOLY SPIRIT SAY TO ME, "HANK, LOOK THIS UP IN OTHER 01:41:56.296 --> 01:42:02.265 TRANSLATIONS." AND I WAS SO DUMB, I ARGUED. GOD, I 01:42:02.265 --> 01:42:04.515 ALREADY KNOW WHAT THEY SAY. I MEAN, HOW MANY 01:42:04.515 --> 01:42:08.176 TRANSLATIONS IS THERE? LIKE 60 OF THEM OR SOMETHING? SO 01:42:08.176 --> 01:42:12.615 I SAID, OKAY, AND I DID. AND I FOUND A SCRIPTURE FOR 01:42:12.615 --> 01:42:15.615 THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE WATCHING. ARE YOU READY? NO, 01:42:15.615 --> 01:42:18.826 I'M SERIOUS. I KNOW YOU'RE THINKING THAT PASTOR HANK'S 01:42:18.826 --> 01:42:22.155 GONNA MAKE A PUN, I'M NOT. WAIT TILL YOU SEE THIS. DO 01:42:23.416 --> 01:42:26.144 YOU WANT ME TO SHOW IT TO YOU? YES. OKAY, IT'S GONNA COST YOU 01:42:26.144 --> 01:42:29.416 SOME TACOS IF I'M OUT THERE. ARE YOU READY? WHO WANTS 01:42:29.448 --> 01:42:34.253 ME TO SHOW IT TO YOU? YEAH. (CONGREGATION CHEERING) 01:42:34.287 --> 01:42:36.376 YOU WANT ME TO SHOW IT TO YOU? ALL RIGHT, 01:42:36.376 --> 01:42:39.105 LOOK AT ISAIAH CHAPTER TWO. THIS IS AMAZING. ALL RIGHT, 01:42:39.105 --> 01:42:41.805 LOOK AT ISAIAH TWO, VERSE TWO OF THE NEW LIVING 01:42:41.805 --> 01:42:45.916 TRANSLATION. ALL RIGHT, ISAIAH TWO, TWO, ISAIAH TWO, 01:42:45.916 --> 01:42:49.815 TWO, LIKE WEARING A TUTU, WHICH I WILL NEVER DO. BUT 01:42:49.815 --> 01:42:54.466 WATCH THIS, ISAIAH TWO, TWO. ISAIAH TWO, VERSE TWO. THIS 01:42:54.466 --> 01:42:58.485 IS AMAZING. ALL RIGHT, IN THE LAST DAYS, THE MOUNTAIN 01:42:58.485 --> 01:43:00.435 OF THE LORD'S HOUSE, THAT'S THE CHURCH, WILL BE THE 01:43:00.435 --> 01:43:04.185 HIGHEST OF ALL. THE MOST IMPORTANT PLACE ON THE 01:43:04.185 --> 01:43:05.956 EARTH. I THINK THAT'S WHERE WE'RE HEADING WITH THIS 01:43:05.956 --> 01:43:10.065 GENERATION. IT WILL BE RAISED UP ABOVE OTHER HILLS, 01:43:10.065 --> 01:43:13.395 THAT MEANS GOVERNMENTS AND THINGS, AND PEOPLE FROM ALL 01:43:13.395 --> 01:43:19.185 OVER THE WORLD WILL WHAT? STREAM. STREAM THERE TO 01:43:19.185 --> 01:43:24.376 WORSHIP. I COULD NOT BELIEVE IT. SO LIVE STREAM YOUR 01:43:24.376 --> 01:43:27.561 SCRIPTURE FROM HERE ON OUT. IF PEOPLE SAY, "WELL, WHY 01:43:27.561 --> 01:43:30.886 DON'T YOU GO "TO THE FIRST JACKED UP CHURCH OF THE," 01:43:32.025 --> 01:43:34.905 YOU KNOW, WHATEVER THEY CALL THEMSELVES. AND YOU SAY, 01:43:34.905 --> 01:43:38.386 "WELL, I STREAM." WELL, THAT'S NOT BIBLICAL. NOW YOU 01:43:38.386 --> 01:43:43.695 CAN DANCE AND SAY, "LET'S GET BIBLICAL, BIBLICAL." AND 01:43:43.695 --> 01:43:47.621 YOU CAN QUOTE THIS ONE. AND YOU COULD TELL 'EM, PEOPLE 01:43:47.621 --> 01:43:49.815 FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD WILL STREAM. AND THAT'S WHY I'M 01:43:49.815 --> 01:43:55.426 AN E-MEMBER, AND I STREAM. YEAH, ISN'T THAT POWERFUL? 01:43:55.426 --> 01:43:59.445 NOW, LOOK AT ANOTHER ONE, ACTS 2, VERSE 46. I'M ALMOST 01:43:59.445 --> 01:44:03.735 DONE. ACTS 2, VERSE 46, WATCH THIS ONE. THIS IS THE 01:44:03.735 --> 01:44:08.176 EARLY CHURCH. NOW, WE KNOW THAT IN ACTS 2, WE KNOW THAT 01:44:08.176 --> 01:44:11.926 3,000 WERE ADDED TO THE CHURCH. SO GOD, THE FIRST 01:44:11.926 --> 01:44:14.569 EXPRESSION OF THE CHURCH AFTER JESUS ASCENDED WAS A 01:44:14.569 --> 01:44:18.286 MEGA CHURCH. THAT'S WHAT MEGA IS, THOUSANDS, RIGHT? 01:44:18.286 --> 01:44:20.926 AND LIKE PASTOR BRENDA SAID, THE JERUSALEM CHURCHES WHERE 01:44:20.926 --> 01:44:23.868 THAT HAPPENED IN ACTS 2, ACTUALLY GREW TO OVER 01:44:23.868 --> 01:44:28.966 100,000 PEOPLE, 100,000. AND THEY WOULD MEET IN SOLOMON'S 01:44:28.966 --> 01:44:32.685 PORCH AND THEY WOULD HAVE CORPORATE GATHERING. THIS IS 01:44:32.685 --> 01:44:35.326 REALLY POWERFUL. NOW WATCH VERSE 46, THIS IS WHAT YOU 01:44:35.326 --> 01:44:39.555 HAVE TO SEE. AND THEY CONTINUED DAILY WITH ONE 01:44:39.555 --> 01:44:42.975 ACCORD IN THE TEMPLE OR SOLOMON'S FORGE, THAT PUBLIC 01:44:42.975 --> 01:44:46.666 ASSEMBLY. AND THEY BROKE BREAD FROM HOUSE TO HOUSE. 01:44:46.666 --> 01:44:49.095 IN OTHER WORDS, GOD INCLUDED THE HOUSE, NOT JUST SO IT 01:44:49.095 --> 01:44:50.836 COULD BE A HOUSE CHURCH MOVEMENT WHERE YOU DON'T 01:44:50.836 --> 01:44:54.166 HAVE TO GO TO CHURCH AND HAVE A PASTOR, RIGHT? OR A 01:44:54.166 --> 01:44:57.916 MEGA CHURCH OR A HUNDRED PEOPLE CHURCH OR 50 PEOPLE 01:44:57.916 --> 01:45:00.645 CHURCH, BUT THE CHURCH HAS TO BE IN THE HOUSE. NOW, IF 01:45:00.645 --> 01:45:05.055 YOU LOOK AT HISTORY, 100,000 PEOPLE GATHERED PUBLICLY IN 01:45:05.055 --> 01:45:08.445 A MEGA CHURCH, AND THEN GOD'S ANSWER ALSO WAS TO 01:45:08.445 --> 01:45:11.655 MEET IN HOMES FOR MORE OF A BREAKDOWN MAYBE OF THE 01:45:11.655 --> 01:45:14.926 APOSTLES DOCTRINE, ACTS 242, WHATEVER THE APOSTLES WERE 01:45:14.926 --> 01:45:17.386 TEACHING, THEY WERE GIVING THAT TO THEM. THEY WEREN'T 01:45:17.386 --> 01:45:19.426 JUST ON THEIR OWN IN THEIR HOMES TO JUST TEACH 01:45:19.426 --> 01:45:23.055 ANYTHING. RIGHT, DID ADAM HAVE A BELLY BUTTON? IT WAS 01:45:23.055 --> 01:45:26.956 THE APOSTLES DOCTRINE, ACTS 242, RIGHT? AND BY THE WAY, 01:45:26.956 --> 01:45:32.805 HE DID. 'CAUSE I KNOW, HOW MANY OF YOU EVER SEEN 01:45:32.805 --> 01:45:36.015 PILLSBURY DOUGHBOY? YOU CANNOT TELL ME GOD, WHEN HE 01:45:36.015 --> 01:45:38.484 SAW ADAM, HE WAS SO THRILLED, HE WENT, "OH, 01:45:38.484 --> 01:45:42.166 OOH!" AND HE, I COULD JUST SEE GOD DOING THAT. I COULD 01:45:42.166 --> 01:45:45.345 JUST SEE GOD DOING THAT. BUT NOTICE THEY MET IN THE 01:45:45.345 --> 01:45:49.126 PUBLIC SETTING. BUT THEY ALSO MET IN HOMES. IN OTHER 01:45:49.126 --> 01:45:52.666 WORDS, IT WASN'T JUST FOR BIBLE STUDIES. I BELIEVE 01:45:52.666 --> 01:45:54.975 THEY MET IN HOMES, JUST LIKE WHAT YOU'RE DOING TODAY. 01:45:54.975 --> 01:45:56.985 YOU'RE ASSEMBLING EVEN IN YOUR HOME. ALL RIGHT, LET'S 01:45:56.985 --> 01:46:00.076 GO ON, 'CAUSE I WANNA PULL THIS THING TO CLOSE SO THAT 01:46:00.076 --> 01:46:03.345 WE CAN ENJOY THE REST OF OUR DAY TODAY. I BELIEVE THAT 01:46:03.345 --> 01:46:06.287 THERE'S A GENERATION ALSO COMING. LOOK AT PSALM 122, 01:46:06.287 --> 01:46:08.895 WHERE THERE'S GONNA BE SOMETHING ON THEIR LIPS. 01:46:08.895 --> 01:46:13.095 IT'S NOT, "OH, DO WE HAVE TO GO TO CHURCH AGAIN, MOM?" 01:46:13.095 --> 01:46:16.786 OH, OR IT'S THE SPOUSE. "OH, YOU'RE GOING TO THAT CHURCH 01:46:16.786 --> 01:46:19.845 AGAIN?" OR YOUR RELATIVE. "OH, WHY DO YOU SPEND SO 01:46:19.845 --> 01:46:22.605 MUCH TIME AT CHURCH?" OR SOME OF YOU THAT ARE 01:46:22.605 --> 01:46:26.206 WATCHING, "OH MY GOSH, WHY DO YOU WASTE YOUR TIME 01:46:26.206 --> 01:46:30.586 "WATCHING CHURCH LIVE STREAM?" I BELIEVE THERE'S A 01:46:30.586 --> 01:46:33.555 GENERATION THAT'S UPON US. AND I THINK CHARLIE KIRK, I 01:46:33.555 --> 01:46:35.595 THINK IT'S A TURNING POINT, IT'S A SHIFT CHANGE, I'M 01:46:35.595 --> 01:46:40.815 ALMOST DONE. LOOK AT WHAT PSALM 122 SAYS. IT SAYS, 01:46:40.815 --> 01:46:46.695 "LET US GO TO CHURCH." LET US GO, THEY'LL BE GLAD. IT 01:46:46.695 --> 01:46:51.975 WON'T BE CUMBERSOME. IT WON'T BE, YOU KNOW, YOU HAVE 01:46:51.975 --> 01:46:56.355 TO FORCE SOMEBODY. THEY'RE SAYING THAT, I ACTUALLY READ 01:46:56.355 --> 01:47:00.645 THIS IN A SECULAR MAGAZINE, THAT THE BIBLE IS STILL THE 01:47:00.645 --> 01:47:04.966 NUMBER ONE MOST PURCHASED BOOK, READ BOOK IN THE WHOLE 01:47:04.966 --> 01:47:09.345 WORLD. ISN'T THAT AMAZING? AND THEY'RE SAYING THERE'S A 01:47:09.345 --> 01:47:13.246 RESURGENT OF PEOPLE REALLY COMING BACK TO CHURCH AGAIN. 01:47:13.246 --> 01:47:15.345 AND I JUST WANT TO, LET'S GIVE AN APPLAUSE TO THOSE 01:47:15.345 --> 01:47:18.166 THAT ARE HERE TODAY, THOSE THAT ARE WATCHING, YOU THAT 01:47:18.166 --> 01:47:22.695 ARE HERE TODAY. I THINK THIS IS GOING TO BE THE NORM 01:47:22.695 --> 01:47:26.805 BECAUSE I THINK THAT THE SURVIVAL OF OUR COUNTRY, OUR 01:47:26.805 --> 01:47:33.706 CHILDREN, OUR SCHOOLS, OUR GOVERNMENT, SOCIETY, IT'S 01:47:33.706 --> 01:47:36.525 DEPENDENT UPON WE, THE PEOPLE, NOT ONLY OF THE 01:47:36.525 --> 01:47:40.155 CONSTITUTION, BUT WE, THE PEOPLE OF THE COMMANDMENTS 01:47:40.155 --> 01:47:44.145 OF GOD. WE HAVE GOT TO COME TOGETHER. WE'VE GOT TO STAY 01:47:44.145 --> 01:47:47.386 TOGETHER. ALL RIGHT, I WANNA JUST SHOW YOU SOMETHING HERE 01:47:47.386 --> 01:47:51.136 REAL QUICK. I JUST WANNA ENCOURAGE YOU. GOING TO 01:47:51.136 --> 01:47:55.095 CHURCH IS ALSO FOR PROTECTION. LOOK AT PSALM 01:47:55.095 --> 01:47:58.612 23. SOMETIMES WE READ THIS IN THE CONTEXT OF, I 01:47:58.612 --> 01:48:00.645 REMEMBER WHEN I WENT TO THE LUTHERAN CHURCH WHERE WE 01:48:00.645 --> 01:48:04.006 GREW UP, THEY WOULD READ THE 23RD PSALM. AND I WOULD 01:48:04.006 --> 01:48:08.206 ALWAYS BE, AND THEY HAD THIS BANNER WITH JESUS, A PICTURE 01:48:08.206 --> 01:48:10.605 OF JESUS, AND THEN THEY HAD THE 23RD PSALM ON IT. I 01:48:10.605 --> 01:48:14.115 STILL HAVE THAT BANNER AND BREADED IN MY MIND. AND I 01:48:14.115 --> 01:48:17.451 REMEMBER LOOKING AT IT AND READING PSALM 23 AS A 01:48:17.451 --> 01:48:19.456 NINE-YEAR-OLD, A 10-YEAR-OLD, I'D BE LOOKING 01:48:19.456 --> 01:48:22.246 UP AT THIS PICTURE OF JESUS. AND I WOULD SIT THERE AND 01:48:22.246 --> 01:48:26.235 THINK, I NEVER COULD UNDERSTAND VERSE ONE. I 01:48:26.235 --> 01:48:28.126 WOULD SIT THERE AND GO, YEAH, BUT I THINK I WANT 01:48:28.126 --> 01:48:31.426 HIM. LOOK AT PSALM 23, VERSE ONE. THE LORD IS MY 01:48:31.426 --> 01:48:34.216 SHEPHERD, I SHALL NOT WANT. AND I USED TO THINK, WELL, 01:48:34.216 --> 01:48:38.206 WHY WOULD THEY PUT THAT UP THERE? WHY, WELL, IF HE'S 01:48:38.206 --> 01:48:40.426 YOUR SHEPHERD, DON'T YOU WANT HIM? BUT IT'S NOT WANT, 01:48:40.426 --> 01:48:42.855 LIKE YOU DON'T WANT HIM, IT'S YOU WON'T HAVE ANY 01:48:42.855 --> 01:48:46.395 NEED. NOW, GOD APPOINTS SHEPHERDS. HE APPOINTS 01:48:46.395 --> 01:48:49.275 PASTORS. THAT'S WHY WHEN YOU COME TO CHURCH, YOU NEED TO 01:48:49.275 --> 01:48:51.345 FIND NOT JUST A GOOD CHURCH, YOU NEED TO FIND A GOOD 01:48:51.345 --> 01:48:54.826 PASTOR. HOW DO YOU FIND A GOOD PASTOR? A PASTOR THAT 01:48:54.826 --> 01:48:58.966 IS BOLD ENOUGH TO TELL YOU THE TRUTH. A PASTOR, WATCH 01:48:58.966 --> 01:49:03.345 THIS, THAT IS NOT A HIRELING. YEAH, HE PROBABLY 01:49:03.345 --> 01:49:05.506 GETS A SALARY BECAUSE IF HE DIDN'T, HE'D HAVE TO GO WORK 01:49:05.506 --> 01:49:08.416 SECULAR AND IT'D BE HARD TO TAKE CARE OF THE SHEEP. BUT 01:49:08.416 --> 01:49:12.195 A PASTOR THAT IS NOT CONCERNED ABOUT SAYING 01:49:12.195 --> 01:49:16.275 THINGS THAT WOULD OFFEND YOU OR SO BOLD OR SO TRUTHFUL 01:49:16.275 --> 01:49:19.756 THAT HE'S SCARED TO SAY IT 'CAUSE HE'S MORE CONCERNED 01:49:19.756 --> 01:49:23.595 ABOUT YOUR WALLET THAN HE IS ABOUT THE TRUTH. 'CAUSE YOU 01:49:23.595 --> 01:49:26.025 MIGHT GET MAD AND YOU MIGHT LEAVE. IF YOU'RE UNDER A 01:49:26.025 --> 01:49:29.416 CHURCH LIKE THAT WHERE YOUR PASTOR'S A COWARD, GET OUT. 01:49:29.416 --> 01:49:38.536 TAKE YOUR MONEY OUT WITH IT. THEY DON'T DESERVE IT. THE 01:49:38.536 --> 01:49:43.365 REASON WHY THE TURNING POINT MOVEMENT GREW LIKE IT DID IS 01:49:43.365 --> 01:49:45.586 BECAUSE PEOPLE REALLY DO, AT THE END OF THE DAY, WANNA 01:49:45.586 --> 01:49:48.555 HEAR THE TRUTH. AND THEY'RE LOOKING FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE 01:49:48.555 --> 01:49:51.676 GONNA BE BOLD ENOUGH TO PUT THEIR LIFE ON THE LINE. 01:49:53.145 --> 01:49:55.305 THAT'S REALLY WHAT WE NEED TODAY. AND THAT'S REALLY 01:49:55.305 --> 01:49:57.046 WHAT THE NATURE OF A TRUE SHEEP DOES. LOOK AT, HE 01:49:57.046 --> 01:50:00.376 MAKES ME LIE DOWN IN GREEN PASTURES. NOTICE, HE HELPS 01:50:00.376 --> 01:50:05.265 YOU FIND THE RIGHTFUL PLACE IN YOUR LIFE OF NOURISHMENT, 01:50:05.265 --> 01:50:07.605 RIGHT? HE'S WILLING TO TELL YOU THE TRUTH, SAYING, HEY, 01:50:07.605 --> 01:50:12.525 YOU KNOW WHAT? YOU KNOW, GOING OUT AFTER WORK TO THE 01:50:12.525 --> 01:50:15.796 TAVERNS PROBABLY IS NOT GREEN PASTURES. THERE'S 01:50:15.796 --> 01:50:17.626 BETTER THINGS THAT YOU COULD DO WITH YOUR TIME, LIKE 01:50:17.626 --> 01:50:20.650 GETTING HOME. A PASTOR IS NOT AFRAID TO SAY, YOU KNOW 01:50:20.650 --> 01:50:23.445 WHAT? THERE'S BETTER PASTURES THAN TO SPEND ALL 01:50:23.445 --> 01:50:26.565 YOUR TIME SELFIEING YOUR LIFE WITH YOUR SOCIAL MEDIA 01:50:26.565 --> 01:50:30.286 PHOTOS. OKAY, NOTICE THE NEXT THING. HE LEADS ME 01:50:30.286 --> 01:50:33.525 BESIDES THE WATERS. A GOOD PASTOR WILL HELP BRING YOU 01:50:33.525 --> 01:50:37.095 TO A PLACE OF PEACE, PLACE OF UNDERSTANDING, PLACE OF 01:50:37.095 --> 01:50:40.036 TRUTH. LOOK AT VERSE THREE. HE RESTORES YOUR SOUL, 01:50:40.036 --> 01:50:42.136 ESPECIALLY WITH THE ATTACK ON THE SOUL OF OUR COUNTRY. 01:50:42.136 --> 01:50:44.416 YOU NEED A GOOD PASTOR THAT'S GONNA HELP RESTORE 01:50:44.416 --> 01:50:47.956 YOUR SOUL. THERE'S SUCH A VICIOUS ATTACK OF DECEPTION. 01:50:47.956 --> 01:50:50.536 HE LEADS YOU IN PATHS OF RIGHTEOUSNESS. SO AGAIN, 01:50:50.536 --> 01:50:53.985 DON'T GET MAD AT PASTORS, PREACHERS THAT GET UP AND 01:50:53.985 --> 01:51:00.435 TELL YOU TRUTH AND COMMAND RIGHTEOUSNESS, RIGHT? 01:51:00.435 --> 01:51:03.466 ESPECIALLY IN A WICKED AND PERVERSE GENERATION. HERE'S 01:51:03.466 --> 01:51:07.095 ANOTHER THING, VERSE FOUR. "EVEN THOUGH I WALK THROUGH 01:51:07.095 --> 01:51:09.435 THE VALLEY OF THE SHADOW "OF DEATH, I'LL FEAR NO EVIL FOR 01:51:09.435 --> 01:51:12.586 YOU'RE WITH ME." IN OTHER WORDS, A GOOD PASTOR WILL 01:51:12.586 --> 01:51:17.326 HELP GET THE FEAR OUT OF YOU. AND NOTICE THY ROD AND 01:51:17.326 --> 01:51:20.355 THY STAFF. YOU KNOW WHAT A ROD WAS USED FOR? WITH THE 01:51:20.355 --> 01:51:24.015 SHEPHERD, IT WAS USED FOR GUIDING THEM, RIGHT? AND 01:51:24.015 --> 01:51:25.905 PULLING THEM BACK IN, GETTING THEM BACK IN THE 01:51:25.905 --> 01:51:28.725 SHEEPFOLD IF THEY STOPPED GOING TO CHURCH OR WHATEVER, 01:51:28.725 --> 01:51:32.176 OR THEY WERE DRIFTING AWAY, OR YOU KNOW, THEY WOULD HELP 01:51:32.176 --> 01:51:35.966 PULL THEM BACK IN. BUT THE ROD ALSO, WATCH THIS, WHEN A 01:51:35.966 --> 01:51:39.386 FAKE NEWS MEDIA IS LYING TO YOU, A GOOD SHEPHERD WILL 01:51:39.386 --> 01:51:41.336 LIFT UP HIS ROD FROM THE PULPIT AND SAY THEY'RE 01:51:41.336 --> 01:51:48.536 LYING. WHEN THEY'RE PUSHING AN AGENDA THAT IS SEXUALLY 01:51:48.536 --> 01:51:51.565 EXPLOITING CHILDREN AND DRESSING UP TO DO IT OR 01:51:51.565 --> 01:51:55.466 WHATEVER THEY'RE DOING, TEXTBOOKS, WHATEVER, A GOOD 01:51:55.466 --> 01:51:58.676 SHEPHERD RAISES THE ROD OF CORRECTION AND AUTHORITY AND 01:51:58.676 --> 01:52:03.506 SAYS, "THAT'S NOT WHAT GOD SAYS." THIS IS WRONG. IT'S 01:52:03.506 --> 01:52:06.685 BETTER TO HAVE A MILLSTONE TIED AROUND YOUR NECK THAN 01:52:06.685 --> 01:52:09.265 TO CAUSE THE LITTLE CHILDREN TO STUMBLE. THAT'S THE WORDS 01:52:09.265 --> 01:52:12.565 OF JESUS. AND A GOOD SHEPHERD IS NOT AFRAID TO 01:52:12.565 --> 01:52:17.036 TAKE PUBLIC CRITICISM, RIGHT? BE WRITTEN UP, WHO 01:52:17.036 --> 01:52:19.615 CARES? HE'S GONNA TELL YOU THE TRUTH 'CAUSE HE'S HERE 01:52:19.615 --> 01:52:22.466 TO PROTECT YOU. THAT'S WHAT A GOOD SHEPHERD SHOULD DO. 01:52:22.466 --> 01:52:25.105 AND IF YOUR PASTOR'S A COWARD AND HE WON'T TELL THE 01:52:25.105 --> 01:52:29.305 TRUTH, THEN DOES HE REALLY CARE FOR YOU? 'CAUSE HE'S 01:52:29.305 --> 01:52:31.735 NOT WILLING TO BE YOUR VOICE. HE'S NOT WILLING TO 01:52:31.735 --> 01:52:34.765 STAND UP AND EXTEND HIS AUTHORITY DELEGATED BY 01:52:34.765 --> 01:52:37.645 JESUS, THE TRUE SHEPHERD. THEN WHAT IS HE IN THE 01:52:37.645 --> 01:52:43.706 MINISTRY FOR? BECAUSE I HAVE A HIGHER JUDGMENT COMING TO 01:52:43.706 --> 01:52:49.105 ME BEFORE GOD. A PREACHER HAS DOUBLE THE JUDGMENT 01:52:50.185 --> 01:52:53.105 MORE SO THAN YOU AS THE BELIEVER. BECAUSE THEY ARE 01:52:53.139 --> 01:52:57.409 COMMANDED TO SAY WHAT GOD SAYS. NOT ONLY OUT OF HIS WORD, BUT 01:52:57.444 --> 01:53:02.215 ALSO WHEN HIS WORD NEEDS TO ABSOLUTELY CONFRONT DARKNESS 01:53:02.248 --> 01:53:04.818 AND BRING LIGHT. ALRIGHT, I'M GONNA GET READY TO END WITH 01:53:04.850 --> 01:53:08.220 THIS. LOOK AT THE NEXT ONE. "HE PREPARES A TABLE BEFORE ME 01:53:08.255 --> 01:53:10.791 IN THE PRESENCE OF MY ENEMIES." IN OTHER WORDS EVERY WEEK. "HE 01:53:10.823 --> 01:53:13.225 ANOINTS MY HEAD WITH OIL," LOOK AT VERSE 6. "SURELY GOODNESS 01:53:13.260 --> 01:53:16.462 AND MERCY SHALL FOLLOW ME. THIS DAY WILL DWELL IN THE HOUSE 01:53:16.496 --> 01:53:19.706 OF THE LORD FOREVER. BUT I WANNA SHOW YOU TWO OTHER SCRIPTURES. 01:53:19.706 --> 01:53:23.815 LOOK AT ECCLESIASTES 10, EIGHT. IF YOU BREAK A HEDGE, 01:53:24.926 --> 01:53:28.615 OKAY, A SERPENT WILL BITE. NOW THIS WAS BASED ON ISRAEL 01:53:28.615 --> 01:53:34.105 KNEW THE SHEEPFOLD PRINCIPLE. THE SHEEPFOLD WAS 01:53:34.105 --> 01:53:39.055 MADE UP OF BRICKS AND MORTAR AND CLAY AND GRASS AND ALL 01:53:39.055 --> 01:53:42.536 THAT. AND THERE WAS ONLY ONE DOOR. AND JESUS TAUGHT THIS 01:53:42.536 --> 01:53:46.615 IN JOHN CHAPTER 10, THAT THE WAY INTO THE SHEEPFOLD, 01:53:46.615 --> 01:53:50.275 WHICH IS THE CHURCH, IS NOT THROUGH A WINDOW. HE SAID, 01:53:50.275 --> 01:53:52.676 IF YOU DO THAT, YOU TRY TO COME IN SOME OTHER WAY, 01:53:52.676 --> 01:53:54.836 YOU'RE A THIEF AND A ROBBER. HE SAID, THE ONLY WAY TO 01:53:54.836 --> 01:53:57.655 COME THROUGH IS THE DOOR. YOU GOTTA COME IN THROUGH 01:53:57.655 --> 01:54:01.735 THE SHEPHERD. THE SHEPHERD STANDS AT THE DOOR. AND IN A 01:54:01.735 --> 01:54:03.716 SHEEPFOLD, THERE WAS ONLY ONE DOOR. AND AT NIGHTTIME, 01:54:03.716 --> 01:54:05.845 THE SHEPHERD WOULD LAY IN FRONT OF THE DOOR SO THAT IF 01:54:05.845 --> 01:54:09.926 THE SHEEP WOULD GET OUT, HE WOULD BE ALERTED IF THEY 01:54:09.926 --> 01:54:13.046 WERE STARTING TO GO TOWARDS DARKNESS. THIS IS WHY I 01:54:13.046 --> 01:54:17.065 PREACH AS BOLD AS I PREACH. BECAUSE WHEN JESUS APPEARED, 01:54:17.065 --> 01:54:19.555 COME ON, HOW MANY REMEMBER THE CHRISTMAS STORY? THE 01:54:19.555 --> 01:54:23.695 SHEPHERDS THAT GOD CHOSE TO APPEAR TO WERE THE ONES THAT 01:54:23.695 --> 01:54:28.166 WERE WATCHING OVER THEIR FLOCK BY NIGHT. WHEN IT WAS 01:54:28.166 --> 01:54:34.555 DARK, GOD SAID, "YOU GOTTA SPEAK TO THE PREACHERS." I 01:54:34.555 --> 01:54:36.536 WISH MORE PREACHERS WOULD LISTEN 'CAUSE IT'S DARK 01:54:36.536 --> 01:54:41.185 OUTSIDE. BUT WE NEED GOOD SHEPHERDS. THEY'RE GONNA LAY 01:54:41.185 --> 01:54:43.256 THEIR LIVES DOWN. THAT'S WHAT THAT SHEPHERD WOULD DO. 01:54:44.636 --> 01:54:48.836 AND SAY, "I'M NOT GONNA ALLOW YOU TO BE DECEIVED "BY 01:54:48.836 --> 01:54:51.956 LIES OR BY DARKNESS. "IT'S MY JOB AS A SHEPHERD TO 01:54:51.956 --> 01:54:53.695 PROTECT YOU." NOW, THE OTHER THING IS, GO BACK TO THAT 01:54:53.695 --> 01:54:56.996 VERSE. IF YOU BREAK A HEDGE, A SERPENT WOULD BITE. IF THE 01:54:56.996 --> 01:54:59.756 SHEEP WOULD GET OUT, NOT THROUGH THE DOOR, BUT WOULD 01:54:59.756 --> 01:55:03.865 BURROW ITSELF THROUGH THE CLAY OR WHATEVER IT WAS, THE 01:55:03.865 --> 01:55:08.996 DIRT, THERE WAS, THEY PUT THORN BUSHES AROUND IT SO 01:55:08.996 --> 01:55:13.916 THAT SNAKES COULD NOT GET IN THERE AND ADDERS AND BURROW 01:55:13.916 --> 01:55:18.025 THEMSELVES IN TO HURT THE SHEEP. BUT IF THE SHEEP 01:55:18.025 --> 01:55:22.256 WOULD GET OUT, CHANCES ARE THEY WOULD GET BIT. SO THERE 01:55:22.256 --> 01:55:24.801 WAS A PROTECTION AS LONG AS THEY WOULD BE PART OF A 01:55:24.801 --> 01:55:27.895 SHEEPFOLD, THOSE SHEEP, AND AS LONG AS THEY WOULD ALLOW 01:55:27.895 --> 01:55:30.025 THAT PASTOR TO LAY HIS LIFE DOWN. WHAT'S YOUR 01:55:30.025 --> 01:55:34.555 RESPONSIBILITY NOW? YOUR RESPONSIBILITY GOING FORTH 01:55:34.555 --> 01:55:38.695 AFTER LAST WEEK'S EVENTS IS WE ARE IN ACTS 12. WE GOTTA 01:55:38.695 --> 01:55:43.405 CONTINUALLY PRAY FOR OUR LEADERS, OUR PASTORS, AND 01:55:43.405 --> 01:55:45.475 THOSE THAT ARE LEADING OUTSIDE, ESPECIALLY THOSE 01:55:45.475 --> 01:55:47.275 THAT ARE CONFRONTING DARKNESS. WE NEED TO 01:55:47.275 --> 01:55:49.555 INCREASE THAT LEVEL OF PRAYER. ALL RIGHT, LAST 01:55:49.555 --> 01:55:52.645 SCRIPTURE, I WANT YOU TO STAND YOUR FEET. SO PASTOR 01:55:52.645 --> 01:55:56.815 HANK, WHAT IS THE ADVANTAGE? IF THEY CAN COME TO THE 01:55:56.815 --> 01:56:00.985 PIANO HERE. WHAT IS THE ADVANTAGE OF REALLY GETTING 01:56:00.985 --> 01:56:03.086 CONNECTED, WHETHER IT BE IN YOUR HOUSE? REMEMBER I 01:56:03.086 --> 01:56:07.076 SHOWED YOU ISAIAH 2, VERSE 2, THAT THEY STREAM. I THINK 01:56:07.076 --> 01:56:10.466 THAT IS SO POWERFUL. THEY MET IN HOMES AND THEY ALSO 01:56:10.466 --> 01:56:15.386 MET IN THE PUBLIC ASSEMBLY. BECAUSE YOU CAN ACTUALLY 01:56:15.386 --> 01:56:18.956 CAUSE TWO THINGS TO HAPPEN TO YOUR LIFE BY BEING 01:56:18.956 --> 01:56:23.275 COMMITTED TO A GOOD CHURCH, WHETHER IT BE ONLINE OR IN 01:56:23.275 --> 01:56:27.416 PERSON, LOCALLY. IT CAN DO TWO THINGS. NUMBER ONE, 01:56:27.416 --> 01:56:31.345 IT'LL CAUSE YOU TO HAVE A FRUITFUL LIFE. THERE'S TOO 01:56:31.345 --> 01:56:34.105 MANY PEOPLE THAT ARE STRUGGLING. AND I THINK IF 01:56:34.105 --> 01:56:37.555 THEY WOULD JUST CONNECT TO A GOOD PASTOR, A GOOD CHURCH, 01:56:37.555 --> 01:56:40.855 RIGHT, A GOOD CONGREGATION, I THINK THEY WOULD HAVE LESS 01:56:40.855 --> 01:56:42.956 PROBLEMS. I THINK THERE WOULD BE LESS PROBLEMS IN 01:56:42.956 --> 01:56:44.756 THEIR LIVES, LESS PROBLEMS IN THEIR MARRIAGE, LESS 01:56:44.756 --> 01:56:47.935 PROBLEMS WITH THEIR KIDS, LESS PROBLEMS IN SOCIETY, 01:56:47.935 --> 01:56:51.055 LESS PROBLEMS IN CULTURE, LESS PROBLEMS IN CITIES, 01:56:51.055 --> 01:56:53.695 LESS PROBLEMS IN NEIGHBORHOODS. IF THE GOD 01:56:53.695 --> 01:56:55.826 FACTOR AND THE PEOPLE FACTOR, THAT FIRST AND 01:56:55.826 --> 01:56:58.706 SECOND COMMANDMENT, LOVE GOD AND LOVE PEOPLE AND LET'S 01:56:58.706 --> 01:57:02.305 ASSEMBLE, LET'S WORK TOGETHER, RIGHT? LET'S BE 01:57:02.305 --> 01:57:04.315 THE CHURCH, LET'S LOVE ONE ANOTHER AND TAKE THAT 01:57:04.315 --> 01:57:07.978 EXPRESSION OUT. LOOK AT THIS SCRIPTURE IN PSALM 92, THOSE 01:57:07.978 --> 01:57:11.756 THAT BE PLANTED, NOT POTTED. YOU KNOW, IF YOU DON'T LIKE 01:57:11.756 --> 01:57:14.155 SOMETHING, YOU JUST TAKE YOUR POTTED SELF AND YOU GO 01:57:14.155 --> 01:57:16.586 TO THE NEXT CHURCH. WE NEED PEOPLE THAT ARE GONNA SAY, 01:57:16.586 --> 01:57:21.086 YOU'RE MY PASTOR, THIS IS MY CHURCH, YOU MAY TICK ME OFF, 01:57:21.086 --> 01:57:24.326 PASTOR HANK, WEEK AFTER WEEK, BUT THANK GOD YOU'RE 01:57:24.326 --> 01:57:27.775 BOLD ENOUGH AND MAD ENOUGH TO TELL US THE TRUTH. AND I 01:57:27.775 --> 01:57:30.355 AIN'T GOING ANYWHERE WITH MY LITTLE FEELINGS ON MY 01:57:30.355 --> 01:57:33.836 SHOULDER. WE NEED SOME PEOPLE TODAY THAT ARE GOING, 01:57:33.836 --> 01:57:37.466 THAT A PREACHER MAKES YOU MAD ENOUGH TO CHANGE, MAD 01:57:37.466 --> 01:57:42.206 ENOUGH TO DO SOMETHING, MAD ENOUGH TO STAND UP TO THAT 01:57:42.206 --> 01:57:46.435 WHICH THEY'RE UNAPOLOGETIC. THEY'RE STANDING UP THROWING 01:57:46.435 --> 01:57:50.605 BRICKS THROUGH WINDOWS. THEY'RE BOLD ENOUGH TO GET 01:57:50.605 --> 01:57:54.836 IT OUT THERE AND INCITE RIOTS AND VIOLENCE. WE'RE 01:57:54.836 --> 01:57:59.275 NOT DOING THOSE THINGS. WE'RE NOT INCITING HATE, BUT 01:57:59.275 --> 01:58:02.246 WE NEED PEOPLE WITH A BACKBONE AND WITH THE LOVE 01:58:02.246 --> 01:58:05.996 OF GOD IN THEIR HEART TO GET PLANTED. COME ON, THAT'S WHY 01:58:05.996 --> 01:58:11.155 I'M SAYING, DON'T BE A LIVE STREAM REMOTE CLICKER. YOU 01:58:11.155 --> 01:58:12.895 KNOW, YESTERDAY I WAS FLIPPING THROUGH AFTER 01:58:12.895 --> 01:58:15.025 NEBRASKA WAS DOING TERRIBLE. I WAS GOING THROUGH 01:58:15.025 --> 01:58:18.746 DIFFERENT GAMES. WELL, SOME PEOPLE DO THAT WITH THEIR 01:58:18.746 --> 01:58:21.086 LIVE STREAM EXPERIENCE. OH, YOU'RE MY CHURCH, REALLY? 01:58:21.086 --> 01:58:27.595 THEN WHY DO YOU TURN THE CHANNEL? YOU NEED TO PUT THE 01:58:27.595 --> 01:58:30.805 REMOTE DOWN, EXCEPT TO TURN THE SOUND UP OR TURN IT 01:58:30.805 --> 01:58:35.905 DOWN. OR IF I START SINGING, YOU CAN MUTE IT. BUT HERE'S 01:58:35.905 --> 01:58:40.496 THE THING, THE TRUTH IS, COME ON, BE PLANTED. IF THIS 01:58:40.496 --> 01:58:43.225 IS YOUR CHURCH BY LIVE STREAM, BE PLANTED. IF IT'S 01:58:43.225 --> 01:58:46.286 AT NINE O'CLOCK, GET THERE AT NINE O'CLOCK. BE 01:58:46.286 --> 01:58:49.076 COMMITTED, THIS IS YOUR CHURCH, GET COMMITTED. DON'T 01:58:49.076 --> 01:58:53.426 JUST COME TO CHURCH, SERVE, SERVE. YOU KNOW, I WANNA 01:58:53.426 --> 01:58:54.895 GIVE A SHOUT OUT TO SOMEBODY. I WANNA GIVE A 01:58:54.895 --> 01:58:57.475 SHOUT OUT TO DALE, WHO IS THE GENERAL MANAGER AT CHOP 01:58:57.475 --> 01:59:02.155 HOUSE. HE CAN'T COME EVERY SUNDAY BECAUSE OF THE 01:59:02.155 --> 01:59:05.275 RESPONSIBILITY THAT HE HAS AS THE EL CAPITAN OF THE 01:59:05.275 --> 01:59:07.886 CHOP HOUSE. BUT YOU KNOW WHAT HE'S DOING? YOU'LL SEE 01:59:07.886 --> 01:59:13.225 HIM IN THE BACK WHEN HE'S HERE WITH HIS JACKET ON AS 01:59:13.225 --> 01:59:16.286 AN USHER SERVING IN THE HOUSE OF THE LORD. SO DON'T 01:59:16.286 --> 01:59:20.185 TELL ME WHY I WORK, SO DOES HE. LET'S PUT OUR EXCUSES 01:59:20.185 --> 01:59:22.798 ASIDE AND LET'S START GETTING A BACKBONE. AND 01:59:22.798 --> 01:59:25.796 LET'S START SHOWING SOCIETY THAT THERE IS A RELEVANCE TO 01:59:25.796 --> 01:59:28.195 GOD (CONGREGATION APPLAUDING) AND TO THIS 01:59:28.195 --> 01:59:31.466 THING WE CALL THE ECCLESIA, THE CHURCH. HERE'S THE 01:59:31.466 --> 01:59:33.416 SECOND THING. THOSE THAT BE PLANTED IN THE HOUSE OF THE 01:59:33.416 --> 01:59:36.805 LORD SHALL FLOURISH IN THE COURTS OF OUR GOD. WATCH 01:59:36.805 --> 01:59:41.036 THIS. THEY SHALL BRING FORTH FRUIT.

HE'S YOUR ROCK IN A VERY UNSETTLED WORLD, 02:00:32.905 --> 02:00:35.036 AND YOU'RE GONNA SHOW THE WORLD THAT THERE IS NO 02:00:35.036 --> 02:00:38.576 UNRIGHTEOUSNESS IN HIM. YOU ARE GOING TO LITERALLY BE 02:00:38.576 --> 02:00:41.996 THE STANDARD THAT THE EARTH NEEDS. LET'S PRAY. HEAVENLY 02:00:41.996 --> 02:00:45.416 FATHER, I THANK YOU TODAY THAT THIS MESSAGE I BELIEVE 02:00:45.416 --> 02:00:49.645 STIRRED IN THE HEARTS OF THE PEOPLE TODAY. AND I PRAY 02:00:49.645 --> 02:00:51.956 THAT, GOD, THAT THEY WOULD HEAR THE HEART OF THIS 02:00:51.956 --> 02:00:56.725 PREACHER. AND THAT IS TO STIR 'EM UP. TO FIRST AND 02:00:56.725 --> 02:00:59.756 FOREMOST, TO LOVE YOU WITH ALL THEIR HEART, SOUL, MIND, 02:00:59.756 --> 02:01:02.996 AND STRENGTH. AND THEN SECOND, LORD, TO LOVE ONE 02:01:02.996 --> 02:01:05.275 ANOTHER. AND WITH THAT LOVING, IT MEANS COMING 02:01:05.275 --> 02:01:09.386 TOGETHER AS THE EXPRESSION OF THE BODY OF CHRIST. 02:01:09.386 --> 02:01:12.115 BELIEVERS WHO LOVE GOD AND LOVE ONE ANOTHER. AND LORD, 02:01:12.115 --> 02:01:16.015 FROM THERE, WE BEGIN TO BE THE LIGHT THAT SHINES IN THE 02:01:16.015 --> 02:01:18.891 MIDST OF A CROOKED AND PERVERSE GENERATION. THE 02:01:18.891 --> 02:01:22.706 SALT OF THE EARTH. AND GOD, WE'RE UNASHAMED. WE WON'T 02:01:22.706 --> 02:01:25.916 PUT OUR LIGHT UNDER ANY KIND OF CANDLE. WE WON'T HIDE IT. 02:01:25.916 --> 02:01:28.886 AND I PRAY THAT THIS SUNDAY, THAT THERE WOULD BE 02:01:28.886 --> 02:01:33.115 SOMETHING LIKE WE SAW WHEN 9/11 CAME TO OUR COUNTRY. WE 02:01:33.115 --> 02:01:36.701 SAW PATRIOTISM, BUT WE ALSO SAW A RETURN TO GOD AND 02:01:36.701 --> 02:01:39.671 RETURN TO THE HOUSE OF THE LORD. LORD, WHAT WE'VE 02:01:39.671 --> 02:01:42.400 EXPERIENCED OVER THE LAST FEW DAYS HAVE BEEN HORRIFIC 02:01:42.400 --> 02:01:46.480 FOR OUR COUNTRY. BUT YET AT THE SAME TIME, IT'S BEEN 02:01:46.480 --> 02:01:50.291 GOOD BECAUSE I THINK IT'S AWAKENED, IT'S MADE US, I 02:01:50.291 --> 02:01:52.060 DON'T KNOW THE WORD, FATHER, IT'S CAUSED US TO BE 02:01:52.060 --> 02:01:55.207 AWAKENED TO WHERE WE NOW ARE STARTING TO SAY, YOU KNOW 02:01:55.207 --> 02:01:57.011 WHAT, WE NEED TO DO SOMETHING WITH OUR LIFE. WE 02:01:57.011 --> 02:01:59.591 NEED TO START LOOKING AT WHY WE'RE HERE AND WHAT IS OUR 02:01:59.591 --> 02:02:03.640 PURPOSE AND DO SOMETHING WITH IT. BE A VOICE, TAKE A 02:02:03.640 --> 02:02:07.121 STAND, MAKE A DIFFERENCE THROUGH THE LOVE OF GOD, 02:02:07.121 --> 02:02:11.291 EXPRESS TO A GENERATION THAT DESPERATELY NEEDS IT. THANK 02:02:11.291 --> 02:02:13.270 YOU FOR THAT. NOW I WANNA DO THIS WITH EVERY HEAD BOWED 02:02:13.270 --> 02:02:15.671 AND EVERY EYE CLOSED, JUST A FEW SECONDS. MAYBE YOU'RE 02:02:15.671 --> 02:02:17.711 HERE TODAY AND YOU'RE WATCHING AND YOU'VE NEVER 02:02:17.711 --> 02:02:21.220 ASKED JESUS CHRIST TO COME INTO YOUR HEART, TO FORGIVE 02:02:21.220 --> 02:02:24.161 YOUR SINS AND TO BE THE LORD OF YOUR LIFE. I WANNA ASK 02:02:24.161 --> 02:02:27.820 YOU A VERY BOLD QUESTION. IF YOU WERE TO DIE TODAY, DO 02:02:27.820 --> 02:02:30.881 YOU KNOW 100% IF YOU'D GO TO HEAVEN OR NOT? THAT'S AN 02:02:30.881 --> 02:02:33.100 HONEST QUESTION 'CAUSE YOU KNOW, MANY OF US, WE HAVE A 02:02:33.100 --> 02:02:36.430 LIFE INSURANCE POLICY, RIGHT? JUST IN CASE 02:02:36.430 --> 02:02:38.801 SOMETHING HAPPENS. YEAH, BUT THEN WE PLAY WITH OUR 02:02:38.801 --> 02:02:43.961 ETERNAL LIFE. WE NEED TO BE SURE, AND WE DO. JESUS SAID, 02:02:45.400 --> 02:02:47.980 "TODAY IS THE DAY OF SALVATION." THE BIBLE SAYS 02:02:47.980 --> 02:02:50.501 IF YOU BELIEVE IN YOUR HEART THAT GOD RAISED JESUS FROM 02:02:50.501 --> 02:02:54.881 THE DEAD, YOU'LL BE SAVED. IF YOU CONFESS AND YOU CALL 02:02:54.881 --> 02:02:57.730 UPON THE NAME OF THE LORD, YOU'LL BE SAVED. WHOEVER 02:02:57.730 --> 02:02:59.801 CALLS ON THE NAME OF THE LORD WILL BE SAVED. IT'S NOT 02:02:59.801 --> 02:03:02.801 GOING TO CHURCH. IT'S NOT BEING A PARTICULAR RELIGION. 02:03:02.801 --> 02:03:06.640 IT'S NOT EVEN HAVING A STANDARD, WELL, I DO GOOD 02:03:06.640 --> 02:03:10.240 THINGS. JESUS SAID NO ONE IS GOOD BUT GOD ALONE. IT'S 02:03:10.240 --> 02:03:14.801 HAVE YOU TAKEN THE TIME TO PERSONALLY INVITE JESUS TO 02:03:14.801 --> 02:03:17.081 COME INTO YOUR HEART, WHERE YOU GET OFF THE THRONE OF 02:03:17.081 --> 02:03:20.261 YOUR HEART, AND YOU LET JESUS COME AND SIT THERE AS 02:03:20.261 --> 02:03:21.970 THE LORD OF YOUR LIFE. IF YOU'RE IN THIS ROOM OR 02:03:21.970 --> 02:03:24.310 YOU'RE WATCHING TODAY AND YOU SAY, "PREACHER, I WANT 02:03:24.310 --> 02:03:28.688 YOU TO PRAY FOR ME. "I'VE NEVER, EVER, EVER ASKED 02:03:28.688 --> 02:03:30.761 JESUS TO COME IN MY HEART, "BUT I NEED TO AND I WANT 02:03:30.761 --> 02:03:32.650 TO." I WANT YOU TO BE BOLD. COME ON, THIS IS A BOLD 02:03:32.650 --> 02:03:36.730 GENERATION. CHARLIE KIRK WAS BOLD, RIGHT? JESUS WAS BOLD. 02:03:36.730 --> 02:03:39.761 THIS PREACHER'S BOLD. I WANT YOU TO BE BOLD.
