Grab 0:00:30.520 --> 0:00:32.840 the hand of the person next to you. Father, thank 0:00:32.880 --> 0:00:36.600 you for this moment, a holy moment, a sanctified moment, 0:00:37.560 --> 0:00:41.479 a set apart moment, a special moment, a moment that 0:00:41.479 --> 0:00:46.160 we'll never see again. Thank you for this day. Thank 0:00:46.159 --> 0:00:52.360 you for the sunrise. Thank you for that breath. Thank 0:00:52.400 --> 0:00:56.040 you for the person whose hand I'm holding. Thank you 0:00:56.120 --> 0:00:59.720 for bringing them through and bringing them here. Thank you 0:00:59.720 --> 0:01:02.680 for what you brought them out of. Thank you for 0:01:02.720 --> 0:01:06.759 what you're leading them into. I ask for the person 0:01:06.800 --> 0:01:08.480 that's on my right and on my left today that 0:01:08.520 --> 0:01:10.600 you would give them the kind of confidence that comes 0:01:10.600 --> 0:01:14.600 from knowing that they will never take a step that 0:01:14.680 --> 0:01:18.240 you haven't already gone before them. I thank you that 0:01:18.240 --> 0:01:22.240 you are the God who goes before us when we 0:01:22.240 --> 0:01:23.840 feel like falling. I thank you that you are the 0:01:23.880 --> 0:01:28.040 God who catches us a firm foundation beneath our feet. 0:01:30.400 --> 0:01:35.800 And when we sometimes forget how big you are, I 0:01:35.840 --> 0:01:37.240 want to thank you that you are the God who 0:01:37.280 --> 0:01:41.240 is above us, and your ways are higher than our ways. 0:01:42.000 --> 0:01:45.600 Your thoughts are higher than our thoughts. As the rain 0:01:45.640 --> 0:01:47.800 falls from the heaven and waters the earth and doesn't 0:01:47.800 --> 0:01:49.960 return to it without accomplishing that which it was sent 0:01:50.040 --> 0:01:53.520 to do, so shall your word be that comes forth 0:01:53.560 --> 0:01:56.680 from your mouth today. It will not return unto your void. 0:01:57.120 --> 0:02:01.200 It never does, it can't. It must accomplish what you 0:02:01.280 --> 0:02:04.360 sent it to do. I thank you for the worship 0:02:04.520 --> 0:02:06.720 that your people have given you today. You're worthy of it. 0:02:07.920 --> 0:02:10.200 We clap our hands right now because you're worthy of it. 0:02:12.440 --> 0:02:23.560 Your worship you because you're worthy. Now repeat after me, say, 0:02:23.600 --> 0:02:29.880 and God, I thank you for this word that you 0:02:29.919 --> 0:02:36.480 are about to speak. I receive it. It's true. Amen, 0:02:37.760 --> 0:02:40.520 high five fifteen people, and stay standing for the reading 0:02:40.560 --> 0:02:43.440 of God's word. Put all of that in the chat, 0:02:43.480 --> 0:02:48.320 would you. I receive it. It's true. Put it in 0:02:48.360 --> 0:02:53.600 the chat right now, God speak. I receive it. It's true. 0:02:54.400 --> 0:03:03.440 God Speak, I receive it. It's true standing I thought 0:03:03.480 --> 0:03:08.440 I said that. Sorry about that. Just all kinds of 0:03:08.480 --> 0:03:12.960 exercise you're getting today, jumping and sitting and standing. Tell 0:03:12.960 --> 0:03:22.040 your neighbor discount says your workout. Got to the point 0:03:22.080 --> 0:03:24.600 in my life where I don't like to skip physical workouts, 0:03:24.600 --> 0:03:26.840 but I really if I had to skip either a 0:03:26.840 --> 0:03:29.440 physical workout or if I had to skip the Word 0:03:29.440 --> 0:03:32.600 of God, I would skip the physical one. Because the 0:03:32.639 --> 0:03:34.400 things that I'm battling in my life right now are 0:03:34.440 --> 0:03:38.240 not flesh and blood. There are some of us in 0:03:38.240 --> 0:03:43.720 the room who are wrestling against principalities and spirits of discouragement, 0:03:43.800 --> 0:03:47.360 spirits of despair. And you never know what news you're 0:03:47.400 --> 0:03:49.520 gonna get when you leave this place. But I promise 0:03:49.560 --> 0:03:52.920 you God's got good news for you today. That's what 0:03:52.960 --> 0:04:00.160 gospel means. It means good news that we were dead 0:03:59.760 --> 0:04:04.080 and alive in Christ, that Jesus Christ is King of 0:04:04.160 --> 0:04:06.040 kings and Lord of lords, and he has come to 0:04:06.080 --> 0:04:09.120 bind up the broken hearted, to set the captive free, 0:04:09.680 --> 0:04:13.480 and to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor. Somebody shout, 0:04:13.560 --> 0:04:18.039 this is my year. I don't know what the first 0:04:18.120 --> 0:04:20.200 four months were like, but tell them these next eight 0:04:21.720 --> 0:04:27.440 these next eight are going to be great. Praise the Lord. 0:04:29.200 --> 0:04:32.000 Praise the Lord. I want to share with you today 0:04:32.720 --> 0:04:37.040 from a passage of scripture that I mentioned last week. 0:04:38.360 --> 0:04:41.680 When I mentioned it last week, I knew immediately that 0:04:41.760 --> 0:04:45.920 this is where we would start today because something very 0:04:45.960 --> 0:04:48.839 special happened in the moment that I read Galatians six'. 0:04:49.040 --> 0:04:53.560 Nine and this may be a scripture that you want to. 0:04:53.560 --> 0:04:57.039 Memorize you may need to quote this one back to the, 0:04:57.080 --> 0:04:59.960 devil and you may need to quote it to your, 0:05:00.000 --> 0:05:02.760 yourself or you may need to give it to a 0:05:02.800 --> 0:05:06.560 friend who's fighting. Cancer BUT i really love this, verse 0:05:07.360 --> 0:05:11.040 And i'm gonna share with you today From galatian six to. 0:05:11.160 --> 0:05:14.000 Nine at least that's where we'll.

Things AND i know you 0:06:47.279 --> 0:06:51.080 don't know who to talk to because you don't know 0:06:51.120 --> 0:06:56.719 who you can.

Don't all you've got to do is 0:07:23.080 --> 0:07:26.680 don't see how that big to do list you came 0:07:26.720 --> 0:07:30.360 to church with just got. Smaller all you've got to 0:07:30.440 --> 0:07:36.720 do is.

Better abby came downstairs after sleeping till 0:08:03.080 --> 0:08:08.000 noon yesterday AND i, said how are? You good? Morning she, 0:08:08.080 --> 0:08:13.040 Said i'm. Tired, now why are you? Tired you went 0:08:13.080 --> 0:08:15.840 to bed at ten, pm you woke up at twelve. 0:08:15.920 --> 0:08:22.120 Pm fourteen hours is sufficient. REST i get. It there 0:08:22.160 --> 0:08:25.360 have been times in my life WHERE i went on, 0:08:25.440 --> 0:08:29.240 vacation came back and needed a vacation for recovery from the. 0:08:29.320 --> 0:08:34.600 Vacation and really it's your expectations of vacations that mess you, 0:08:34.720 --> 0:08:38.000 up because you, think, like, oh IF i can just 0:08:38.280 --> 0:08:42.160 make it to this, beach IF i can just make 0:08:42.200 --> 0:08:48.080 it to these. Mountains but every single thing that you 0:08:48.160 --> 0:08:49.880 had with you in the valley goes with you to the, 0:08:49.880 --> 0:08:54.440 mountain and every single mountain that you have in your 0:08:54.480 --> 0:08:59.160 life goes with you to the. Beach so In galatians chapter, 0:08:59.240 --> 0:09:03.360 six verse, nine The Great Apostle, paul speaking to the 0:09:03.440 --> 0:09:07.480 church in modern Day, turkey is giving an encouragement to 0:09:07.600 --> 0:09:10.840 Some christians who are being tempted to go back to 0:09:10.920 --> 0:09:13.760 an old way of life And. Judaism, now these Particular 0:09:14.040 --> 0:09:18.280 christians are Gentile, christians so they're not familiar With jewish. 0:09:18.360 --> 0:09:22.560 Customs and one of the customs that The jewish believers 0:09:22.600 --> 0:09:27.160 wanted to put on their gentile counterparts was this custom called, 0:09:27.200 --> 0:09:30.800 circumcision and they were, saying if you really want to Follow, 0:09:30.840 --> 0:09:33.960 christ you need to be. Circumcised And paul, said, no 0:09:34.040 --> 0:09:36.960 you don't turn to your neighbor and, say, no you 0:09:36.960 --> 0:09:42.240 don't half the rules that people tell you about being 0:09:42.280 --> 0:09:44.520 A christian that you have to do this and you 0:09:44.600 --> 0:09:48.440 have to do. That no you. Don't somebody told ME 0:09:48.559 --> 0:09:50.680 i want to come to, elevation BUT i heard you 0:09:50.760 --> 0:09:55.760 have to dress. Up that was, like you have to. 0:09:55.880 --> 0:10:02.720 Dress that's the dress code at. Elevation do just do 0:10:03.960 --> 0:10:07.920 dress and that's. IT a lot of the things that 0:10:08.000 --> 0:10:09.880 you think you need to enter in the presence Of, 0:10:09.880 --> 0:10:15.000 god no you. Don't you just need the name Of, 0:10:15.080 --> 0:10:20.920 jesus the blood Of, jesus and an open. Heart so 0:10:20.960 --> 0:10:22.720 if you think you need to have a perfect week 0:10:22.920 --> 0:10:26.800 before you can pray To, god no you don't tell your. 0:10:26.840 --> 0:10:30.400 Neighbor no you. Don't in, fact if there's somebody here 0:10:30.400 --> 0:10:32.400 today and you're thinking about becoming a follower Of christ 0:10:32.440 --> 0:10:33.880 and you think you need to clean up your life 0:10:33.880 --> 0:10:36.679 to come to, him much like these people In galatia 0:10:36.720 --> 0:10:39.079 might have thought they needed to be circumcised externally in 0:10:39.160 --> 0:10:41.000 order to come To. Christ if you think you need 0:10:41.040 --> 0:10:43.480 to make an outward behavior modification before you can have 0:10:43.520 --> 0:10:48.440 an inward renewal or. Change, no you. Don't in, fact 0:10:48.440 --> 0:10:52.480 if the sun, sets you're. Free you're. Free, Indeed and 0:10:52.559 --> 0:10:57.120 sometimes what wears us out and exhausts us is. Expectations 0:10:59.200 --> 0:11:00.800 The lord spoke that me one. Time NOW i want 0:11:00.800 --> 0:11:03.240 to tell you this in the most personal way, possible 0:11:03.240 --> 0:11:07.760 but not share any inappropriate. Details there was a moment 0:11:07.800 --> 0:11:11.440 in my ministry WHERE i felt very close to What 0:11:11.480 --> 0:11:14.640 i've heard called. Burnout and it's been several years, ago 0:11:14.840 --> 0:11:18.320 but it was intense enough THAT i was telling The 0:11:18.360 --> 0:11:20.400 lord things LIKE i can't do, THIS i can't go, 0:11:20.480 --> 0:11:24.080 on AND i don't have what it. Takes and in 0:11:24.120 --> 0:11:27.480 the process of that being, cyclical not just once on 0:11:27.520 --> 0:11:31.280 A wednesday for a hard, meeting but week after week 0:11:31.320 --> 0:11:35.960 after week after. Week the chronic urge to quit is 0:11:36.000 --> 0:11:42.080 a signal that something needs to. Shift the chronic urge 0:11:42.240 --> 0:11:46.240 to quit not the, passing fleeting urge to, quit but 0:11:46.280 --> 0:11:51.040 the chronic urge to quit is a signal that something 0:11:51.600 --> 0:11:56.160 needs to. Shift and in my particular, CASE i felt 0:11:56.160 --> 0:11:58.680 like all of the work that was on, me combined 0:11:58.760 --> 0:12:01.040 with the work of raising family and you're, like, no 0:12:01.160 --> 0:12:04.200 raising a family isn't. Work raising a family is a. 0:12:04.200 --> 0:12:08.000 Reward children are a blessing from The, lord and they. 0:12:08.040 --> 0:12:13.640 Are but have you ever had your quiver full quiver 0:12:13.720 --> 0:12:18.160 full with sharp objects called. ARROWS a full quiver hurts 0:12:18.160 --> 0:12:20.800 sometimes you want to quit fill in that quiver. Sometimes 0:12:22.000 --> 0:12:25.840 but AS i was processing all of that in my 0:12:25.880 --> 0:12:28.040 heart and in my, prayers The lord showed me something very, 0:12:28.040 --> 0:12:32.240 powerful AND i think that it will help you. Today he, 0:12:32.320 --> 0:12:37.360 said you keep thinking that the problem is that the 0:12:37.440 --> 0:12:40.760 work is too great for, you and you assume that 0:12:40.800 --> 0:12:43.560 you are weary because of the work THAT i gave, 0:12:43.600 --> 0:12:45.840 you the work of being a, dad the work of 0:12:45.840 --> 0:12:47.720 being a, husband the work of being a, pastor the 0:12:47.760 --> 0:12:49.920 work of leading a, church and all of the. Work 0:12:50.240 --> 0:12:53.040 the travel was intense at that point in, Time the 0:12:53.200 --> 0:12:56.760 organizational life cycle was at a very immature stage of, 0:12:56.760 --> 0:12:59.880 development and it was moving through some. Transitions And he's, 0:13:00.040 --> 0:13:03.199 said you think that the reason you're, Weary paul, said 0:13:03.400 --> 0:13:07.760 let us not grow weary of doing. Good you think 0:13:07.800 --> 0:13:12.000 that the reason you're weary is because of the. Work 0:13:12.400 --> 0:13:15.840 but the reason you're weary is not because of the. 0:13:15.880 --> 0:13:23.520 Work it's because of your worry about the. Work AND 0:13:23.559 --> 0:13:26.160 i started to see that it was not WHAT i 0:13:26.400 --> 0:13:31.520 was doing For god that was wearing me. Out it 0:13:31.679 --> 0:13:36.080 was WHAT i was doing For god That god never 0:13:36.120 --> 0:13:39.600 asked me to do to begin, with that was wearing me. 0:13:39.640 --> 0:13:43.920 Out does this sermon feel like a lifeline to anybody 0:13:44.000 --> 0:13:49.640 in the room? Today so when he, says let us 0:13:49.679 --> 0:13:53.520 not grow weary of doing, good for in due season 0:13:53.880 --> 0:13:56.520 we will reap if we do not give, up we 0:13:56.640 --> 0:13:59.720 have to start by asking the, question why AM i? 0:14:00.679 --> 0:14:03.240 Weary and this is not intended for those of you 0:14:03.280 --> 0:14:05.760 who are visiting a relative at the nursing home every 0:14:05.840 --> 0:14:08.640 day right, now or you are in a custody battle 0:14:08.640 --> 0:14:10.800 that is sucking all of your. Resources although there is 0:14:10.840 --> 0:14:13.320 a word for you, TODAY i am not telling you 0:14:13.360 --> 0:14:15.120 that if you would simply turn it, over it would 0:14:15.200 --> 0:14:18.320 no longer be. HARD i am saying that you would 0:14:18.360 --> 0:14:23.440 be able to handle much more weight if you would 0:14:23.560 --> 0:14:28.200 change the way you do the. Work for The bible 0:14:28.280 --> 0:14:33.080 says let us not grow weary in doing good and 0:14:33.720 --> 0:14:36.480 don't grow weary is kind of one of those things 0:14:36.520 --> 0:14:40.600 that people say that sounds good until you really think about. 0:14:40.640 --> 0:14:44.680 It how AM i supposed to don't grow weary with 0:14:44.800 --> 0:14:46.680 this schedule THAT i. Have how AM i supposed to 0:14:46.720 --> 0:14:49.280 not grow weary when it's twenty four to? Seven how 0:14:49.320 --> 0:14:52.720 AM i supposed to not grow weary when everybody is 0:14:52.760 --> 0:14:54.640 wearing me? Out it's kind of like people telling you 0:14:54.680 --> 0:14:58.800 get well soon when you're. Sick oh, gee, Thanks i'll 0:14:58.800 --> 0:15:03.560 get right on. That that sounds like a, plan and 0:15:03.800 --> 0:15:06.880 don't grow weary can kind of sound like get well 0:15:06.960 --> 0:15:11.200 soon unless you stop and realize that beneath the, injunction 0:15:12.160 --> 0:15:18.960 don't grow weary is an invitation to understand why you're. 0:15:19.000 --> 0:15:21.840 Weary and in my, case AS i begin to break 0:15:21.880 --> 0:15:25.800 down all of the, EXPECTATIONS i realized that it was 0:15:25.920 --> 0:15:34.440 expectations that were exhausting. Me expectations can be. Exhausting expectations 0:15:34.480 --> 0:15:39.080 can be, Exhausting AM i right about? It the expectations 0:15:39.080 --> 0:15:42.840 that others have of you can be. Exhausting the expectations 0:15:42.880 --> 0:15:44.560 of what it means to be a mom in this 0:15:44.680 --> 0:15:49.040 day and age can be exhausting of. You the expectation 0:15:49.320 --> 0:15:51.120 WHEN i was growing up to have your kid in 0:15:51.160 --> 0:15:53.520 sports was just to get them to the field On 0:15:53.680 --> 0:15:57.040 tuesday And thursday for their baseball. Game but now if 0:15:57.080 --> 0:15:59.600 your kid is going to be a real baseball. Player 0:16:00.080 --> 0:16:02.160 you've got to sign them up for A TRIPLE a 0:16:02.280 --> 0:16:06.360 team when they're seven years. Old oh, no you will 0:16:06.400 --> 0:16:08.880 no longer have time for church On. Sunday you are 0:16:08.920 --> 0:16:11.840 going to be in travel, ball because if your kid 0:16:11.880 --> 0:16:15.560 misses one season of travel, ball they will be traumatized 0:16:15.640 --> 0:16:18.440 by the fact that they didn't play travel. Ball and 0:16:18.560 --> 0:16:21.480 it feels like to me there is greater and greater 0:16:21.640 --> 0:16:26.520 expectation not only for, parents but there is greater expectation 0:16:26.680 --> 0:16:31.080 on our kids than ever before, too not just because 0:16:31.080 --> 0:16:33.640 they have to be on this team or that, team 0:16:34.040 --> 0:16:37.720 but because they are spending so much time on everybody else's. 0:16:37.800 --> 0:16:42.360 Timeline and now our kids no longer have fomo fear 0:16:42.400 --> 0:16:46.200 of missing. Out they have pomo proof of missing, out 0:16:46.800 --> 0:16:49.040 because not only DO i have to think about the 0:16:49.080 --> 0:16:51.720 fact that they might be doing something without, ME i 0:16:51.800 --> 0:16:54.560 actually see the proof that they're doing something without. Me 0:16:55.120 --> 0:16:58.920 so Now i've got anxiety coupled with depression and isolation 0:16:59.400 --> 0:17:01.960 at the most vulnerable time in my, life And i'm 0:17:01.960 --> 0:17:05.320 only fourteen years, old AND i don't know how to handle. 0:17:05.400 --> 0:17:08.639 It why AM i? Tired why are kids going so 0:17:08.760 --> 0:17:11.600 crazy these? Days why does there seem to be such 0:17:11.640 --> 0:17:14.240 a surge in mental health epidemics that we keep reading 0:17:14.280 --> 0:17:19.760 about statistically that can only be fixed, spiritually because The bible, 0:17:19.840 --> 0:17:30.280 says let us not grow weary in doing. Good and 0:17:30.600 --> 0:17:32.920 what The lord gave me during that season of burnout 0:17:32.960 --> 0:17:34.800 that was very helpful to, me AND i share it 0:17:34.840 --> 0:17:36.879 with you in the offer that it can be of 0:17:37.000 --> 0:17:41.440 use IS i will give you the strength you need 0:17:42.240 --> 0:17:46.159 to do your, job BUT i will not give you 0:17:46.240 --> 0:17:53.800 the strength to do. Mine god, SAID i will give 0:17:53.840 --> 0:17:56.920 you all the strength you need to do your, job 0:17:58.160 --> 0:18:00.480 BUT i will not give you the strength to do. 0:18:00.600 --> 0:18:04.080 Mine and so this phrase comes up in the. Text it, 0:18:04.119 --> 0:18:10.280 says let us not grow weary of doing. Good doing 0:18:10.320 --> 0:18:13.480 good is an interesting phrase, too by the, way because 0:18:13.520 --> 0:18:16.000 it's never been harder to feel like you're doing good 0:18:16.560 --> 0:18:19.760 than it is right. NOW i THOUGHT i was good 0:18:19.800 --> 0:18:23.680 at playing guitar growing up because none of my other 0:18:23.720 --> 0:18:27.560 friends played, guitar so compared to, THEM i was doing. 0:18:28.640 --> 0:18:33.000 GOOD i didn't have proof in my pocket that there 0:18:33.040 --> 0:18:37.400 are nine year olds who can play guitar better than. 0:18:37.440 --> 0:18:40.639 Me at age forty, Five it's never been harder to do. 0:18:40.760 --> 0:18:43.240 Good you used to have to go to the lake 0:18:43.359 --> 0:18:45.159 to see your friend had a better boat than.

Account and what you don't know is 0:18:58.160 --> 0:19:02.119 that they went broke to buy the, boat and you 0:19:02.160 --> 0:19:09.320 are blind to their. Brokeness so you are discouraged by their.

Moment The greek 0:20:36.960 --> 0:20:42.040 for this is cairo. Idio it means the appointed. Time 0:20:42.800 --> 0:20:45.560 the word chiros In greek does not mean time like 0:20:45.600 --> 0:20:49.959 a clock or a. Calendar that word is. Kronos that 0:20:50.000 --> 0:20:55.160 word is a word that challenges my, Wife. Holly holly 0:20:55.240 --> 0:21:01.240 struggles with kronos, time like what it. Is she brought 0:21:01.280 --> 0:21:04.320 me an article recently that showed me that scientifically there 0:21:04.400 --> 0:21:08.959 is a condition called time, blindness and she, Said, Babe 0:21:09.359 --> 0:21:17.720 i've figured out Why i'm always.
