65
00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:12,080

00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:23,919
Speaker 2: This is one of those overflowing blessings. If you just

Speaker 2: I want to share with you a message that I've

73
00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:38,680
Speaker 2: been trying to figure out how to present since this summer.

74
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:43,479
Speaker 2: So I'm excited. Just give you a picture, and I

75
00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:45,240
Speaker 2: know it's going to help you. Turning your Bible to

76
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:54,479
Speaker 2: Psalm Chapter one Psalm one four. Been waiting on the

Speaker 2: right time to preach this one. The Lord showed me

78
00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:00,479
Speaker 2: how to do it, and I pray you will help me.

79
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:02,960
Speaker 2: You pray for me too, because if he helps me,

80
00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:08,320
Speaker 2: it helps you. So pray for me that I would

Speaker 2: hands of foreigners whose mouths are full of lies, whose

Speaker 2: right hands are deceitful. Say amen to that. Now, let's

99
00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:33,400
Speaker 2: look at Colossians Chapter three, verse one. Just one verse

Speaker 2: hearts on things above where Christ is seated at the

103
00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:59,279
Speaker 2: right hand of God. I want to teach you today

104
00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:07,200

109
00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:23,800
Speaker 2: Now I stand ready to be used by you. Blow

00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:26,960
Speaker 2: through me like I'm a trumpet, and use me how

111
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:27,520
Speaker 2: you want to.

112
00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:31,680
Speaker 1: In Jesus name, Amen, you may be seated.

113
00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:41,720
Speaker 2: The fun thing about marriage, well, there's a lot of

114
00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:49,200
Speaker 2: fun things about marriage. One fun thing is putting little

115
00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:55,560
Speaker 2: nicknames in your phone for your spouse's contact And how

116
00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:58,360
Speaker 2: many of you have a name for your spouse significant

117
00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:00,720
Speaker 2: other in your phone. That is not their legal name.

118
00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:05,880
Speaker 2: It's not their social Security number. I've changed the name

119
00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:07,920
Speaker 2: I have for Holly about once every year. The one

120
00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:10,080
Speaker 2: I have now is just two emojis. I've got the

121
00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:14,320
Speaker 2: heart emoji and the queen emoji because she's the queen

122
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:18,880
Speaker 2: of my heart. And of course it's an orange heart

123
00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:21,240
Speaker 2: for Daba and for Clemson.

124
00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:23,960
Speaker 1: And it's funny.

125
00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:25,280
Speaker 2: One day I had it hooked up to the car

126
00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:27,280
Speaker 2: where it reads the text to you when they come through,

127
00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:29,800
Speaker 2: and it was reading it out loud and it said

128
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:32,720
Speaker 2: text from Orange Heart Light Skin Princess.

129
00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:38,560
Speaker 1: So that's what I call her around the house when we're.

130
00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:40,520
Speaker 2: Not here on Sunday, come over here, orange Heart Light

131
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:46,760
Speaker 2: Skin Princess. Well, she put the name in her phone

132
00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:48,480
Speaker 2: for me, and again we'll change them. We'll get a

133
00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:50,679
Speaker 2: little new inside joke and we'll change it from time

134
00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:52,680
Speaker 2: to time. If you don't have a different name for

135
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:55,360
Speaker 2: your spouse in your phone than their name, you need

136
00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:59,520
Speaker 2: to be more intimate. Yet it's a predictor of how

137
00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:01,160
Speaker 2: long the marry just gonna last if you have a

138
00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:04,160
Speaker 2: playful name in your phone. I'm sure a study says

139
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:06,600
Speaker 2: that somewhere eighty seven percent of studies are made up

140
00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:07,319
Speaker 2: on the spot.

141
00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:09,840
Speaker 1: All right.

142
00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:12,280
Speaker 2: So she put a name in her phone for me,

143
00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:14,080
Speaker 2: and I just thought about this this morning when I

144
00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:16,199
Speaker 2: was thinking how I want to introduce this topic to you.

145
00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:19,160
Speaker 2: And we got it from a John Mayer song and

146
00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:21,720
Speaker 2: it said a good man with a good heart. There's

147
00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:24,240
Speaker 2: song that we really liked that John Mayer saying he said, I'm.

148
00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:27,560
Speaker 1: A good man with a good heart. I'm not going

149
00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:28,280
Speaker 1: to sing anymore.

150
00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:30,760
Speaker 2: So I don't get you tube copyright straight on that

151
00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:33,800
Speaker 2: from John Maher, But that would say that in her

152
00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:35,520
Speaker 2: phone when I would call a good man with a

153
00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:35,960
Speaker 2: good heart.

154
00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:43,880
Speaker 1: So of course it makes you wonder, am I am? I?

155
00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:44,319
Speaker 2: Are you.

156
00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:50,319
Speaker 1: A good man with a good heart. We're going to

157
00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:51,439
Speaker 1: talk about that for a moment.

158
00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:56,000
Speaker 2: We're going to talk about a good heart, because honestly,

159
00:09:57,040 --> 00:10:02,080
Speaker 2: I am surprised how quickly my heart can switch from

160
00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:06,679
Speaker 2: the best intention to the worst decision. Y'all aren't going

161
00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:09,319
Speaker 2: to help me preach a bit today. I had to

162
00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:12,280
Speaker 2: take discermon to Boston in a couple of weeks. This

163
00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:16,520
Speaker 2: is so difficult in the South to preach anyway, isn't it?

164
00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:16,640
Speaker 1: Like?

165
00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:19,360
Speaker 2: Because we say bless your heart what we mean is

166
00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:23,959
Speaker 2: you are an idiot. Oh bless your heart so that

167
00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:28,760
Speaker 2: even that it's difficult, Do I have a good heart? Well,

168
00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:34,920
Speaker 2: my heart this week wanted so many different things. There

169
00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:38,080
Speaker 2: were times this week, well my heart wanted to stay

170
00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:41,679
Speaker 2: in bed, pull up the covers, and pretend like y'all

171
00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:43,600
Speaker 2: weren't coming to hear a word from God this week

172
00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:45,040
Speaker 2: because I didn't know how.

173
00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:46,680
Speaker 1: To say it. That happens every week.

174
00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:50,280
Speaker 2: Another part of my heart wanted to get in here

175
00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:54,480
Speaker 2: and find whatever chain you've been bound by and take

176
00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:58,080
Speaker 2: the hammer of the word of God and see if

177
00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:01,320
Speaker 2: the Lord might break you loose for his glory so

178
00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:03,679
Speaker 2: you can get on with doing what you're supposed to

179
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:11,600
Speaker 2: do this year, same heart. One part of my heart

180
00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:15,400
Speaker 2: this week wanted to be a tentist, a good listener.

181
00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:18,360
Speaker 2: One part of my heart want to be like, would

182
00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:19,040
Speaker 2: you shut up.

183
00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:20,480
Speaker 1: And let me talk because you don't know what you're

184
00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:21,120
Speaker 1: talking about?

185
00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:23,959
Speaker 2: And it was in the same conversation, and it wasn't

186
00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:25,199
Speaker 2: with anybody in this room.

187
00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:30,160
Speaker 1: From the same heart, from the same heart.

188
00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:35,680
Speaker 2: We are thankful in these moments for biblical examples like David,

189
00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:41,520
Speaker 2: aren't we who from the same heart said Bless the Lord,

190
00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:44,880
Speaker 2: oh my soul, and all that is within me.

191
00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:46,600
Speaker 1: Bless this holy name.

192
00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:52,840
Speaker 2: And from the same heart said, go get that woman, Bathsheba,

193
00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:55,320
Speaker 2: who is not my wife.

194
00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:56,760
Speaker 1: Bring her to me.

195
00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:00,920
Speaker 2: I want to be intimate with her more than I

196
00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:05,120
Speaker 2: want to be obedient to God. From the same heart

197
00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:13,240
Speaker 2: that devised such beautiful language and poetry came so many problems.

198
00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:19,240
Speaker 2: David had great praise in his heart. David had great

199
00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:24,320
Speaker 2: problems in his life. One scripture writer said he had

200
00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:28,240
Speaker 2: ninety nine problems, and Bathsheba was one.

201
00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:29,480
Speaker 1: Now, before we.

202
00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:35,480
Speaker 2: Move deeper in this textual conversation about your heart, I

203
00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:38,880
Speaker 2: know it switches sometimes where you feel really grateful and

204
00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:41,280
Speaker 2: then you get really petty.

205
00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:44,520
Speaker 1: Wrong side of the room, fake side, real.

206
00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:50,560
Speaker 2: Side, pettiness and praise same heart. Always point this out

207
00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:53,439
Speaker 2: when I preach about David, lest we forget that we

208
00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:57,160
Speaker 2: are learning from someone in the scripture whose life was

209
00:12:57,200 --> 00:12:58,319
Speaker 2: not always perfect.

210
00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:02,400
Speaker 1: Now, in our culture, we.

211
00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:05,640
Speaker 2: Will see a very different definition and relationship to what's

212
00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:08,320
Speaker 2: called the heart. And I'm going to define it in

213
00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:10,480
Speaker 2: just a moment, but I'm not talking about the organ.

214
00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:15,360
Speaker 2: We see a very different definition than we see scriptually

215
00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:21,559
Speaker 2: in our culture today. In our culture today, the heart.

216
00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:24,360
Speaker 1: Is a master to be obeyed.

217
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:30,720
Speaker 2: Therefore we give advice like, okay, follow your heart.

218
00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:32,920
Speaker 1: In the scripture, it's a little different.

219
00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:36,400
Speaker 2: In the scripture, the heart does not seem to be

220
00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:43,319
Speaker 2: a master to be obeyed. Heart representing the center of

221
00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:45,400
Speaker 2: your internal life. You're like, what are you talking about

222
00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:46,559
Speaker 2: my heart? I mean that can mean a lot of

223
00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:48,480
Speaker 2: different things. You're talking about my ability to love. You're

224
00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:50,319
Speaker 2: talking about my excitement, or you talking about my passion,

225
00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:53,480
Speaker 2: or you talk about my conscience. Yes, all of those

226
00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:56,199
Speaker 2: things are embodied in the Hebrew idea of the heart.

227
00:13:57,520 --> 00:14:02,160
Speaker 2: It is the center of your internal world, and in

228
00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:08,920
Speaker 2: the Scripture, the heart is capable of incredible generosity. One

229
00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:12,480
Speaker 2: man said to his fellow comrade, do all that is

230
00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:16,320
Speaker 2: in your mind. I am with you. Heart and soul.

231
00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:21,040
Speaker 2: From the heart flow the issues of life. So one

232
00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:26,320
Speaker 2: scripture writer said, guard your heart. That's really different, isn't it?

233
00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:34,800
Speaker 1: Then? Follow your heart. Follow your heart means my heart

234
00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:35,920
Speaker 1: is leading me.

235
00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:39,080
Speaker 2: And the only problem that I have with my heart

236
00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:44,120
Speaker 2: leading me is that is a limited resource. Because sometimes

237
00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:49,200
Speaker 2: I feel like following Jesus, sometimes I don't. Sometimes I

238
00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:53,960
Speaker 2: feel like forgiving, sometimes I don't sometimes I feel like

239
00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:57,040
Speaker 2: turning the other cheek, and sometimes I feel like kicking.

240
00:14:57,560 --> 00:15:00,720
Speaker 1: My heart needs to be guarded.

241
00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:04,280
Speaker 2: So let's go back to Colossians three for a moment,

242
00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:05,760
Speaker 2: and then I'll bring you to David, and then I

243
00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:06,720
Speaker 2: want to show you this in.

244
00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:07,960
Speaker 1: A visual form.

245
00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:12,320
Speaker 2: In Colossians, the apostle Paul says, since then you have

246
00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:18,000
Speaker 2: been raised with Christ. Question class past tense or present tense.

247
00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:24,800
Speaker 2: You have been raised with Christ past tense or presentents.

248
00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:29,040
Speaker 1: Since that happened, raised with Christ.

249
00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:35,480
Speaker 2: Set your hearts on things above past tense or present tense.

250
00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:38,000
Speaker 1: Okay, I'm pointing this.

251
00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:39,520
Speaker 2: Out to you not because I think you need a

252
00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:43,480
Speaker 2: grammar lesson, but because I want you to understand your

253
00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:48,200
Speaker 2: soul can be saved and your heart still has to

254
00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:49,200
Speaker 2: be set.

255
00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:55,360
Speaker 1: The language here is active, not passive.

256
00:15:56,480 --> 00:16:01,040
Speaker 2: Therefore, since you have been raised with Christ, fall your heart.

257
00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:05,840
Speaker 2: The heart wants what it wants, give it what it wants.

258
00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:08,320
Speaker 2: You don't do that with a two year old. The

259
00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:11,000
Speaker 2: two year old would have their tongue in a light sucket,

260
00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:14,560
Speaker 2: and you watch the two year old because you love

261
00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:16,800
Speaker 2: the two year old. The two year old is not

262
00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:20,360
Speaker 2: your enemy. Neither is your heart your emotions are not

263
00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:21,080
Speaker 2: your enemy.

264
00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:23,400
Speaker 1: Neither is your two year old.

265
00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:26,440
Speaker 2: But the point that I'm trying to make here is

266
00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:29,360
Speaker 2: that your heart while not an enemy to be defeated,

267
00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:32,120
Speaker 2: because God gave you that heart, and He will speak

268
00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:34,280
Speaker 2: to you through that heart, and he will move in

269
00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:37,120
Speaker 2: your heart. And sometimes people will say, well, Fredick's just

270
00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:41,680
Speaker 2: an emotionalist. He's just an emotional preacher. What do you

271
00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:46,840
Speaker 2: want me to be? Do you want me to be

272
00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:50,280
Speaker 2: an ambient preacher and put you to sleep and stand

273
00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:50,800
Speaker 2: up here.

274
00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:54,280
Speaker 1: And drone on and on and not move you God?

275
00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:57,360
Speaker 2: When God found David, he said, I found a man

276
00:16:57,600 --> 00:17:02,880
Speaker 2: after my own heart. God is after your heart. God

277
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:05,919
Speaker 2: wants you to feel for him. God wants you to

278
00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:09,480
Speaker 2: praise him with enthusiasm for your future.

279
00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:11,800
Speaker 1: And with an excitement about who he is.

280
00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:19,080
Speaker 2: Quiet Christians, take note, You've got something to shout about

281
00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:29,440
Speaker 2: if you want to. And yet the word set drew

282
00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:34,040
Speaker 2: my attention because the idea that I have been raised

283
00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:35,720
Speaker 2: with Christ, Jesus did that for me.

284
00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:38,760
Speaker 1: Come on, Jesus did that for you. He died for you.

285
00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:41,119
Speaker 1: Jesus gave you a new heart.

286
00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:44,960
Speaker 2: The scripture speaks about a stony heart and a heart

287
00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:47,960
Speaker 2: of flesh. One is the old covenant keeping the commandments,

288
00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:52,080
Speaker 2: and one is the new covenant, established and ratified by

289
00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:54,879
Speaker 2: the blood of our very own Savior, whereby He makes

290
00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:57,200
Speaker 2: you new on the inside.

291
00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:03,680
Speaker 1: And yet this new heart that I have still has

292
00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:04,679
Speaker 1: to be set.

293
00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:10,119
Speaker 2: Because it is not like the infomercial used to say,

294
00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:12,760
Speaker 2: set it and forget it.

295
00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:16,600
Speaker 1: I promise you if you take that.

296
00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:21,199
Speaker 2: Approach to your own spiritual life and your attitude and

297
00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:24,880
Speaker 2: your mindset, I don't care how much blood of Jesus

298
00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:31,240
Speaker 2: covers you. If you don't take responsibility for setting your heart.

299
00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:37,560
Speaker 2: That is a decision, not a default. And if you

300
00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:43,359
Speaker 2: don't do it, the devil will if you don't do it,

301
00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:51,479
Speaker 2: Disappointment will if you don't do it, stress will. The

302
00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:55,680
Speaker 2: heart is not an enemy to be hated. You can

303
00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:58,679
Speaker 2: enjoy the emotions God gave you, and that's wonderful. The

304
00:18:58,760 --> 00:19:04,600
Speaker 2: heart is not either a leader to be followed. I'll

305
00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:06,800
Speaker 2: tell you why. The heart is not a leader to

306
00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:10,119
Speaker 2: be followed because and I want you to say this

307
00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:11,879
Speaker 2: to your neighbor because it's gonna sound mean, and I

308
00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:14,959
Speaker 2: want you to be in on it with me, so

309
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:17,840
Speaker 2: we all get in trouble together. Look at your neighbor

310
00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:20,960
Speaker 2: and say your heart is a liar.

311
00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:30,040
Speaker 1: It's not a whole conversation. That's all you're supposed to say.

312
00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:32,960
Speaker 1: You don't need any time for any response. All right,

313
00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:34,760
Speaker 1: no rebuttal.

314
00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:39,879
Speaker 2: We would take our questions at the end of the class. Okay,

315
00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:41,320
Speaker 2: look at your other neighbors so they don't think you're

316
00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:41,840
Speaker 2: picking on them.

317
00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:43,960
Speaker 1: Say your heart is a liar.

318
00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:53,200
Speaker 2: I don't appreciate this. I came to be uplifted and

319
00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:57,960
Speaker 2: I'm encouraged by the word of God.

320
00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:02,720
Speaker 1: All right, since you want to talk about the word

321
00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:03,080
Speaker 1: of God.

322
00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:09,920
Speaker 2: Jeremiah seventeen nine, The heart is.

323
00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:12,960
Speaker 1: Deceitful.

324
00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:20,800
Speaker 2: Now you understand why I can't let my heart be

325
00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:27,240
Speaker 2: my leader because I found out my heart is a liar,

326
00:20:28,520 --> 00:20:36,880
Speaker 2: and I think we got enough liars for leaders without

327
00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:40,879
Speaker 2: electing our own point of view, to call the shots,

328
00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:45,320
Speaker 2: without electing how I feel at three pm, to call.

329
00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:47,360
Speaker 1: The shots without.

330
00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:49,119
Speaker 2: Waiting to see if I'm in the mood that I

331
00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:50,679
Speaker 2: need to be in to do the thing that I

332
00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:56,159
Speaker 2: said I would do last week. My heart can't be

333
00:20:56,280 --> 00:21:02,960
Speaker 2: my leader because my heart is a liar. Don't get

334
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:07,840
Speaker 2: me wrong, my heart is also an incredible asset to

335
00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:08,960
Speaker 2: show me in moments.

336
00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:11,280
Speaker 1: This is what God cares about.

337
00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:15,040
Speaker 2: You know. We say my heart goes out to you.

338
00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:17,199
Speaker 2: It means this is one of the ways that I

339
00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:20,919
Speaker 2: feel guided to help people. And so that's how I

340
00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:23,520
Speaker 2: know to give that waitress a fifty dollars tip because.

341
00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:24,640
Speaker 1: Something in my heart.

342
00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:27,680
Speaker 2: That's how I know to, you know, overlook the offense

343
00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:30,480
Speaker 2: and just see what's going on beneath because my heart

344
00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:31,359
Speaker 2: and I'm thankful for it.

345
00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:35,680
Speaker 1: It's not my enemy, but it's not my instructor either.

346
00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:40,280
Speaker 2: Instead, I think we need to look at our heart

347
00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:46,760
Speaker 2: as an instrument, an instrument. And now I want to

348
00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:50,320
Speaker 2: move into my picture from David's life in from my life.

349
00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:54,960
Speaker 2: Just go ahead and bring out the guitar. I'm gonna

350
00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:58,119
Speaker 2: play it. You're gonna be nice to me when I do.

351
00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:04,080
Speaker 2: I'm not profefs, but I get by, all right. And

352
00:22:04,119 --> 00:22:06,359
Speaker 2: I sided to this illustration myself. I'm gonna do my

353
00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:11,200
Speaker 2: own stunts today, all right, because when I thought about it,

354
00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:15,160
Speaker 2: David is praising God, right And the first thing he said,

355
00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:19,199
Speaker 2: back to Psalone forty four, he said, God trains my

356
00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:24,919
Speaker 2: hands and my fingers for battle. So I'm imagining David

357
00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:28,840
Speaker 2: writing this probably later you know, he's talking about subduing people.

358
00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:31,919
Speaker 2: So he's currently a king, but he's remembering that he

359
00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:35,479
Speaker 2: wasn't always a king. And he's remembering that there was

360
00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:39,560
Speaker 2: this champion, philistine warrior who dared to defy the armies

361
00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:42,080
Speaker 2: of the living God. And he was bigger than David,

362
00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:44,760
Speaker 2: and greater than David, and more skilled in season than David,

363
00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:48,160
Speaker 2: and had greater weaponry and artillery than David. But when

364
00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:54,680
Speaker 2: God trains your fingers, even a slingshot with a smooth

365
00:22:54,760 --> 00:22:56,440
Speaker 2: stone will bring.

366
00:22:56,240 --> 00:23:01,359
Speaker 1: Down the biggest giant had at heart.

367
00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:06,159
Speaker 2: He wraps his fingers around that sling. I mean I

368
00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:08,440
Speaker 2: tried to take tennis lessons and it took him three

369
00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:11,520
Speaker 2: weeks just to get my gripped semi correct my grip

370
00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:14,399
Speaker 2: for a tennis racket. Imagine what it takes to be

371
00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:20,120
Speaker 2: a skilled slinger. David said, I trained to kill lions

372
00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:23,720
Speaker 2: and bears. I trained God showed me how to grip

373
00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:26,720
Speaker 2: it so that when I got in a fight, he

374
00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:30,680
Speaker 2: gave me the victory. But then the language changes. The

375
00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:38,320
Speaker 2: language changes from fighting to flowing. The language changes in

376
00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:41,760
Speaker 2: verse nine and David, after talking about how God is

377
00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:43,720
Speaker 2: fighting for you and I want you to remember this week,

378
00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:45,600
Speaker 2: God is fighting for you. Tell your neighbor, God is

379
00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:47,639
Speaker 2: fighting for you.

380
00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:48,119
Speaker 1: Tell him.

381
00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:51,439
Speaker 2: God is bigger than it. Tell him again. God is

382
00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:55,240
Speaker 2: bigger than it. God is bigger than that report. God

383
00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:57,440
Speaker 2: is bigger than that of session. God is bigger than

384
00:23:57,440 --> 00:23:59,760
Speaker 2: that thing. God is bigger than that night terror. And

385
00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:05,240
Speaker 2: he gives a strategy in verse nine that is connected.

386
00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:08,800
Speaker 2: But you just have to have ears to hear and

387
00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:12,399
Speaker 2: a heart to receive. He says, I will sing a

388
00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:18,520
Speaker 2: new song to you, my God. I will sing from

389
00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:23,000
Speaker 2: my heart. David was a praiser. Yes, he was a fighter,

390
00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:28,119
Speaker 2: but he was also a lover. He had heart. He

391
00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:32,560
Speaker 2: could take down an enemy, but he also understood intimacy.

392
00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:36,160
Speaker 2: That's why he said, I have trained fingers for war,

393
00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:41,320
Speaker 2: but the Lord is the love and the refuge of

394
00:24:41,359 --> 00:24:45,040
Speaker 2: my life. Because he had trained fingers that knew how

395
00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:47,719
Speaker 2: to grip a sling when he needed to fight a giant.

396
00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:50,640
Speaker 2: But watch this, he said, I will sing praise verse

397
00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:52,600
Speaker 2: nine to you God on the.

398
00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:56,080
Speaker 1: Ten stringed liar.

399
00:24:57,720 --> 00:25:03,080
Speaker 2: Earlier, when I said your heart is a liar, I

400
00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:07,520
Speaker 2: was setting you up for a double entendre.

401
00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:10,320
Speaker 1: To show you that.

402
00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:14,280
Speaker 2: David, here in the midst of a battle, You say,

403
00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:15,480
Speaker 2: how do you know he's in a battle?

404
00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:16,280
Speaker 1: Go to verse eleven.

405
00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:20,840
Speaker 2: He says, verse eleven, deliver me, rescue me from the

406
00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:22,800
Speaker 2: hands of foreigners whose mouths are.

407
00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:31,359
Speaker 1: Full of lies. Lies. He's fighting lies. Are you fighting lies?

408
00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:36,879
Speaker 2: The lies they told about you, the lies you told

409
00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:41,440
Speaker 2: about you, the lies they spoke over you that hath

410
00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:46,000
Speaker 2: grown into insecurities that followed you into your adult life.

411
00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:50,440
Speaker 2: Everybody under the sound of my voice is fighting a

412
00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:54,480
Speaker 2: lie that you're not enough, That God is but you're not.

413
00:25:54,720 --> 00:25:58,040
Speaker 2: But guess who made you. If he made your mouth,

414
00:25:58,119 --> 00:26:00,880
Speaker 2: he'll fill it. If he put you there, he'll brow

415
00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:07,280
Speaker 2: you there. Hallelujah. And I'm fighting these lots. So I

416
00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:13,880
Speaker 2: was surprised that David fought lies with the liar. Now

417
00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:18,040
Speaker 2: I've got two liars in the passage. One is an instrument.

418
00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:21,119
Speaker 1: A liar is just a harp. They were slightly different,

419
00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:22,280
Speaker 1: but they're used interchangeably.

420
00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:25,040
Speaker 2: The Hebrewscriptures gives three different types of instruments they would

421
00:26:25,040 --> 00:26:27,800
Speaker 2: go and worship within the temple. The percussion instruments like

422
00:26:27,840 --> 00:26:31,880
Speaker 2: the symbols and the.

423
00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:34,320
Speaker 1: Timbrels and the tambourines. The wind instruments the rams horn,

424
00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:37,160
Speaker 1: the trumpet, the flute. They used the flute more in Egypt.

425
00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:40,320
Speaker 2: That wouldn't really like the Israelites jam, but but they

426
00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:42,399
Speaker 2: put it. They put the flute in there sometimes just

427
00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:43,719
Speaker 2: every once in a while, over at eight oh eight,

428
00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:48,280
Speaker 2: when they were really wanting to party. And then the

429
00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:49,800
Speaker 2: watch us. This is what I want to talk about.

430
00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:52,720
Speaker 2: The stringed instrument. Did you see verse nine? He said,

431
00:26:52,720 --> 00:26:56,399
Speaker 2: I will praise you on the liar from my heart.

432
00:26:57,720 --> 00:27:03,800
Speaker 2: The ten stringed instrument, the ten string instrument, ten strings,

433
00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:09,320
Speaker 2: ten strings. I didn't want to bring a liar to church.

434
00:27:10,359 --> 00:27:12,680
Speaker 2: Felt inefficient to roll a harp out here, seeing us

435
00:27:13,119 --> 00:27:16,880
Speaker 2: I've never played one. Well, we got so many guitars

436
00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:21,480
Speaker 2: around this chearch that I thought we could use it

437
00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:27,520
Speaker 2: for an illustration. First of all, a few words about

438
00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:32,000
Speaker 2: this guitar. This is a Martin guitar, and that is

439
00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:34,880
Speaker 2: a good company to make guitars.

440
00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:37,760
Speaker 1: No, I'm saying, it's a nice guitar.

441
00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:45,600
Speaker 2: And one thing that all of these musicians who are

442
00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:49,680
Speaker 2: on this stage would tell you is that, first of all,

443
00:27:52,720 --> 00:27:59,000
Speaker 2: the instrument can never exceed the quality of the musician

444
00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:04,639
Speaker 2: who plays it. I could hand e a ten dollars guitar.

445
00:28:04,800 --> 00:28:06,399
Speaker 2: This one's not ten dollars. I don't know how much

446
00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:08,640
Speaker 2: it costs, but it's not ten dollars. The ten would

447
00:28:08,680 --> 00:28:10,639
Speaker 2: sound better with him than this one with me. And

448
00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:13,640
Speaker 2: I'm not being self deprecating. If he were preaching, I'm

449
00:28:13,640 --> 00:28:15,200
Speaker 2: a better preacher than him. He's just a better guitar

450
00:28:15,280 --> 00:28:21,040
Speaker 2: player than me. Okay, so whatever. But look, I'm gonna

451
00:28:21,040 --> 00:28:22,919
Speaker 2: sing you a hymn where I got the title of

452
00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:25,320
Speaker 2: this message, tune my heart from. And this hymn was

453
00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:28,800
Speaker 2: written in the seventeen hundreds. And if you know what

454
00:28:28,840 --> 00:28:30,359
Speaker 2: you can sing it. The words are on the screen.

455
00:28:33,560 --> 00:28:36,000
Speaker 2: Oh Lord, please don't let me forget the words come

456
00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:40,040
Speaker 2: the found, every.

457
00:28:39,280 --> 00:28:47,120
Speaker 3: Bless tune my heart to sing thy, pray grace, streams

458
00:28:47,160 --> 00:28:49,120
Speaker 3: of mercy.

459
00:28:49,360 --> 00:28:57,960
Speaker 6: Never sees, see call for It, songs of about his praise, teach.

460
00:28:57,760 --> 00:29:01,640
Speaker 4: Me song clias son.

461
00:29:02,880 --> 00:29:07,040
Speaker 3: Song by flameing tongues, up by.

462
00:29:11,080 --> 00:29:17,160
Speaker 1: Praise, amount fix up on amount.

463
00:29:16,880 --> 00:29:17,680
Speaker 3: Of fly.

464
00:29:19,080 --> 00:29:23,120
Speaker 1: Gaming love. So I got my title from that first line.

465
00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:25,080
Speaker 1: Listen to again, Calm thou.

466
00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:34,360
Speaker 6: Found of every bless tune my heart to sing thy.

467
00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:38,680
Speaker 2: It's amazing when you're in tune with the grace of God.

468
00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:43,480
Speaker 1: It's amazing when you're in tune with the voice of God.

469
00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:48,240
Speaker 2: When I'm in tune with you, Lord, I don't have

470
00:29:48,320 --> 00:29:52,320
Speaker 2: to fight so much when I'm in tune with you, Lord,

471
00:29:53,400 --> 00:29:56,800
Speaker 2: I don't have to manipulate so much when I'm in

472
00:29:56,800 --> 00:30:00,560
Speaker 2: tune with you, Lord, I don't have to defend myself.

473
00:30:00,600 --> 00:30:04,560
Speaker 2: You fight my battles when I'm in tune with you, Lord,

474
00:30:05,840 --> 00:30:08,480
Speaker 2: somebody say, Lord, I want to be.

475
00:30:08,480 --> 00:30:13,680
Speaker 1: In tune with you. When I'm in tune.

476
00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:18,080
Speaker 2: With you, Lord, my problems look small when I'm in

477
00:30:18,120 --> 00:30:18,720
Speaker 2: tune with you.

478
00:30:18,840 --> 00:30:19,160
Speaker 7: Lord.

479
00:30:20,120 --> 00:30:23,479
Speaker 2: It feels like all things are possible when I'm in

480
00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:24,120
Speaker 2: tune with you.

481
00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:28,360
Speaker 1: Lord. I can scale a wall when I'm in.

482
00:30:28,280 --> 00:30:32,240
Speaker 2: Tune with you, Lord, the giant looks like an opportunity,

483
00:30:32,280 --> 00:30:33,120
Speaker 2: not a problem.

484
00:30:33,280 --> 00:30:36,720
Speaker 1: When I'm in tune with you, Lord, I'm able to

485
00:30:36,840 --> 00:30:38,680
Speaker 1: laugh at what used to make me cry.

486
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:41,800
Speaker 2: When I'm in tune with you, Lord, I'm able to

487
00:30:41,880 --> 00:30:45,040
Speaker 2: cry and know that tears don't last always, but joy

488
00:30:45,120 --> 00:30:47,720
Speaker 2: comes in the morning. When I'm in tune with you, Lord,

489
00:30:54,720 --> 00:30:56,360
Speaker 2: it's a beautiful thing to be in tune.

490
00:30:58,040 --> 00:30:58,680
Speaker 1: I think.

491
00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:05,520
Speaker 2: I wouldn't have to use our sling as much if

492
00:31:05,520 --> 00:31:11,440
Speaker 2: we used our strings a little more. If we would

493
00:31:11,560 --> 00:31:16,560
Speaker 2: learn to worship God in quiet and in private.

494
00:31:18,360 --> 00:31:21,720
Speaker 1: Some of the things that wear us out, he would

495
00:31:21,720 --> 00:31:26,080
Speaker 1: work out. I'm not saying this magic.

496
00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:33,680
Speaker 2: I'm just saying that you in tune with God is

497
00:31:33,720 --> 00:31:38,320
Speaker 2: a bad dude in a good way, a good man

498
00:31:39,200 --> 00:31:43,480
Speaker 2: with a good heart. She says, I'm that, and sometimes

499
00:31:43,520 --> 00:31:47,120
Speaker 2: I am. What happens to me from time to time.

500
00:31:47,160 --> 00:31:49,120
Speaker 2: And it happened to David too, So I don't feel

501
00:31:49,160 --> 00:31:53,240
Speaker 2: so bad. And it happens to you. Give me that camera,

502
00:31:53,720 --> 00:32:01,920
Speaker 2: it happens to you. Is that through daily life we

503
00:32:01,960 --> 00:32:04,480
Speaker 2: get distracted? Chris, come, I think we should do this together.

504
00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:06,360
Speaker 2: We talked about it and I told him I might

505
00:32:06,400 --> 00:32:09,960
Speaker 2: call him. Is that you get distracted?

506
00:32:10,040 --> 00:32:10,240
Speaker 1: Right?

507
00:32:11,480 --> 00:32:17,240
Speaker 2: You don't decide to just start following your own whims

508
00:32:17,560 --> 00:32:22,000
Speaker 2: and fall back into old temptations. At least most people don't. Instead,

509
00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:25,680
Speaker 2: it's more like a distraction. And we worked this out

510
00:32:25,720 --> 00:32:28,680
Speaker 2: ahead of time, and he's cool with it. He's going

511
00:32:28,720 --> 00:32:34,560
Speaker 2: to be the devil. He sang like an angel, but

512
00:32:34,640 --> 00:32:40,560
Speaker 2: he's a versatile worshiper just for illustration, just for illustration.

513
00:32:43,840 --> 00:32:52,040
Speaker 1: So I look away. I'm flowing, you know. Yeah, man, Damn,

514
00:32:52,080 --> 00:32:56,360
Speaker 1: I'm gonna start the business. I'm gonna reasee these kids

515
00:32:56,440 --> 00:32:59,800
Speaker 1: to be. World changes right.

516
00:33:03,160 --> 00:33:13,200
Speaker 2: Like that, And then your second look away because you

517
00:33:13,200 --> 00:33:28,160
Speaker 2: thought you could set it, and and then you get

518
00:33:28,200 --> 00:33:32,960
Speaker 2: a text message, and then you have to walk into

519
00:33:33,040 --> 00:33:36,720
Speaker 2: a meeting and you go to say what you're supposed

520
00:33:36,720 --> 00:33:38,000
Speaker 2: to say and be who you're supposed to be, and

521
00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:39,480
Speaker 2: show up like you're supposed to show up.

522
00:33:39,360 --> 00:33:46,200
Speaker 1: And it's calmed down. Well, that don't sound.

523
00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:51,480
Speaker 2: Do a little more, Chris, because sometimes sometimes the devil

524
00:33:51,520 --> 00:33:52,080
Speaker 2: just tweaks you.

525
00:33:52,040 --> 00:33:53,840
Speaker 1: A little bit. But sometimes.

526
00:33:55,520 --> 00:33:58,120
Speaker 2: No, I know, I know, I know how it's really

527
00:33:58,160 --> 00:33:59,880
Speaker 2: been in your house with your teenagers.

528
00:33:59,880 --> 00:34:03,040
Speaker 1: All right, I'm about to prophesy.

529
00:34:02,800 --> 00:34:05,040
Speaker 2: Because because you go to step up to it and

530
00:34:05,080 --> 00:34:07,960
Speaker 2: it was good and it's now it's come down. Now,

531
00:34:11,239 --> 00:34:14,680
Speaker 2: Wait a minute, God, did you leave me?

532
00:34:16,920 --> 00:34:20,080
Speaker 1: Did you forsake me? I know what it is.

533
00:34:21,080 --> 00:34:25,960
Speaker 2: I need a new guitar, I need a new husband.

534
00:34:32,840 --> 00:34:45,680
Speaker 8: Maybe you do, but before you trash it, tune in,

535
00:34:48,680 --> 00:34:52,560
Speaker 8: tune in, tune in.

536
00:34:56,000 --> 00:34:59,359
Speaker 1: It happens to all of us every day.

537
00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:03,879
Speaker 2: If you think for one moment that you can get

538
00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:09,319
Speaker 2: saved one time, and your heart is permanently set on.

539
00:35:09,320 --> 00:35:11,200
Speaker 1: The affections for the things.

540
00:35:10,920 --> 00:35:14,359
Speaker 2: That matter to the heart of God, and that now

541
00:35:14,440 --> 00:35:17,879
Speaker 2: you will be selfless in every encounter and will always know.

542
00:35:17,960 --> 00:35:19,640
Speaker 1: The way that He leaves you to go in.

543
00:35:21,160 --> 00:35:25,480
Speaker 2: Watch these musicians the next time we worship. Because they

544
00:35:25,480 --> 00:35:29,920
Speaker 2: don't tune their guitars once a month. They don't tune

545
00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:33,800
Speaker 2: their guitars once a week. They don't even just tune

546
00:35:33,840 --> 00:35:38,880
Speaker 2: their guitars every Sunday before they play. They tune it

547
00:35:39,320 --> 00:35:46,320
Speaker 2: between every song. It means that every day that I'm alive,

548
00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:50,480
Speaker 2: and every breath that I breathe, and every transition that

549
00:35:50,560 --> 00:35:54,840
Speaker 2: I go into, there is a possibility that my heart

550
00:35:56,120 --> 00:35:57,120
Speaker 2: will go out of tune.

551
00:35:59,239 --> 00:36:02,919
Speaker 1: I'm done with you them, They b c d get

552
00:36:02,920 --> 00:36:03,640
Speaker 1: thee behind me.

553
00:36:04,560 --> 00:36:08,840
Speaker 2: Give it up for Chris, everybody, the greatest worship leader in.

554
00:36:08,960 --> 00:36:11,520
Speaker 1: The continental United States.

555
00:36:11,120 --> 00:36:20,040
Speaker 2: Of America, and the devil just for these five minutes,

556
00:36:21,160 --> 00:36:26,080
Speaker 2: because look, from the same heart come your greatest fears.

557
00:36:27,160 --> 00:36:30,719
Speaker 2: From the same heart comes your greatest faith. Which one

558
00:36:30,760 --> 00:36:38,720
Speaker 2: you move into depends on what you're tuned to. Why

559
00:36:39,480 --> 00:36:42,960
Speaker 2: this helped me so much was because I struggle with

560
00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:46,759
Speaker 2: a lot of condemnation at how much I change from

561
00:36:46,800 --> 00:36:49,200
Speaker 2: wanting to do God's will to not wanting to do

562
00:36:49,280 --> 00:36:52,920
Speaker 2: God's will. From feeling motivated to preach the message to

563
00:36:52,960 --> 00:36:53,799
Speaker 2: feeling like I just.

564
00:36:53,760 --> 00:36:56,200
Speaker 1: Want somebody to preach to me, from feeling.

565
00:36:55,960 --> 00:36:58,840
Speaker 2: Like I want to be more giving, to feeling like

566
00:36:58,880 --> 00:37:00,439
Speaker 2: nobody's taking care of me and.

567
00:37:00,360 --> 00:37:02,920
Speaker 1: Being very I can have very big pity parties.

568
00:37:04,360 --> 00:37:07,840
Speaker 2: When I realized that my heart is a liar, that

569
00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:15,520
Speaker 2: my heart is a harp, It's a stringed instrument. Then

570
00:37:15,560 --> 00:37:25,080
Speaker 2: I realize it has to be tuned to truth. Now,

571
00:37:27,520 --> 00:37:28,040
Speaker 2: I told you.

572
00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:31,080
Speaker 1: This illustration was going to help us, and that's really

573
00:37:31,120 --> 00:37:31,840
Speaker 1: why I'm doing it.

574
00:37:31,880 --> 00:37:34,480
Speaker 2: I'm not trying to just put an entertainment value on

575
00:37:34,520 --> 00:37:36,920
Speaker 2: the sermon. I don't care about that. There's way better,

576
00:37:37,000 --> 00:37:39,560
Speaker 2: more entertaining stuff you can watch. It's on your Hulu account.

577
00:37:40,800 --> 00:37:42,359
Speaker 2: But you came here to get help for your heart,

578
00:37:43,800 --> 00:37:48,040
Speaker 2: and I'm trying to show you that. It sounds like

579
00:37:48,120 --> 00:37:53,120
Speaker 2: that right now. But the guitar is good, the wood

580
00:37:53,200 --> 00:37:59,480
Speaker 2: is good. You've just been tuned to some stuff that

581
00:37:59,560 --> 00:38:07,640
Speaker 2: has been neath who you really are. How many are

582
00:38:07,719 --> 00:38:12,879
Speaker 2: glad that Jesus Christ does tune ups? Is that why

583
00:38:12,920 --> 00:38:14,160
Speaker 2: you came to church today?

584
00:38:14,920 --> 00:38:19,080
Speaker 1: Is that why you logged on today? Somebody holler tuned

585
00:38:19,120 --> 00:38:19,440
Speaker 1: me up?

586
00:38:19,520 --> 00:38:23,719
Speaker 2: Lord, tune me up, Lord, tune my heart to sing

587
00:38:23,840 --> 00:38:24,480
Speaker 2: by grades.

588
00:38:28,239 --> 00:38:29,760
Speaker 1: There's two ways to tune this guitar.

589
00:38:30,120 --> 00:38:33,640
Speaker 2: The guitar is in tune technically when the strings have

590
00:38:33,719 --> 00:38:37,400
Speaker 2: the appropriate tension through these pegs. That Chris so rudely

591
00:38:38,080 --> 00:38:42,200
Speaker 2: tuned down like the devil does with discouragement, disappointment, Bill's offenses,

592
00:38:42,480 --> 00:38:44,880
Speaker 2: all of these things. I could spend a whole hour

593
00:38:45,080 --> 00:38:48,239
Speaker 2: just going through all of the things that distract you

594
00:38:48,880 --> 00:38:52,840
Speaker 2: and detune you. If the enemy can detune your heart,

595
00:38:52,960 --> 00:38:56,719
Speaker 2: he can defeat you in your life, and you'll be

596
00:38:56,760 --> 00:39:01,560
Speaker 2: reaching for slings fighting when you need to be reaching

597
00:39:01,640 --> 00:39:03,840
Speaker 2: for strings tuning.

598
00:39:06,680 --> 00:39:08,600
Speaker 1: He trains my hands for war.

599
00:39:08,640 --> 00:39:13,480
Speaker 2: But David said, I've learned to tune my heart to truth,

600
00:39:14,680 --> 00:39:21,480
Speaker 2: not cultural truth. We have personalized the precepts, so we

601
00:39:21,560 --> 00:39:26,279
Speaker 2: say things like my truth, but I don't tune to

602
00:39:26,400 --> 00:39:32,280
Speaker 2: my truth because my heart is a liar. I cannot

603
00:39:32,360 --> 00:39:35,279
Speaker 2: just listen to my heart at all times. That would

604
00:39:35,360 --> 00:39:37,600
Speaker 2: cause me to want to quit. That would cause me

605
00:39:37,640 --> 00:39:39,640
Speaker 2: to want to give up. That would cause me to

606
00:39:39,719 --> 00:39:42,640
Speaker 2: lash out, That would cause me to sink, That would

607
00:39:42,719 --> 00:39:44,920
Speaker 2: cause me to go all the way down further into

608
00:39:44,920 --> 00:39:45,480
Speaker 2: the spiral.

609
00:39:45,719 --> 00:39:48,400
Speaker 1: That's fine to follow your heart, when your heart's going up.

610
00:39:50,160 --> 00:39:53,239
Speaker 1: But there are times in your life where you need

611
00:39:53,280 --> 00:39:53,560
Speaker 1: to be.

612
00:39:53,640 --> 00:39:57,080
Speaker 2: Tuned, and I want you to make sure in those

613
00:39:57,120 --> 00:40:02,440
Speaker 2: times that you are tuning to truth, not your subjective experience,

614
00:40:04,080 --> 00:40:06,279
Speaker 2: not even what your parents taught you.

615
00:40:06,360 --> 00:40:08,000
Speaker 1: If your parents taught it.

616
00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:11,440
Speaker 2: And God taught against it, your parents were wrong, not God.

617
00:40:14,960 --> 00:40:18,680
Speaker 2: What your parents taught you was tradition. What God wants

618
00:40:18,760 --> 00:40:23,480
Speaker 2: to tune you to is truth. Tune me to truth,

619
00:40:24,239 --> 00:40:27,799
Speaker 2: and that means God show me where I'm wrong and

620
00:40:27,840 --> 00:40:31,799
Speaker 2: blaming them. That means God show me where I think

621
00:40:31,840 --> 00:40:33,520
Speaker 2: I need to get more and I really need to

622
00:40:33,560 --> 00:40:37,320
Speaker 2: give more because I want to be tuned to truth.

623
00:40:38,360 --> 00:40:40,960
Speaker 2: Show me where I've been thinking I'm at a disadvantage

624
00:40:40,960 --> 00:40:45,359
Speaker 2: when really my slingshot is a secret weapon. I've been

625
00:40:45,400 --> 00:40:48,640
Speaker 2: saying I don't have the resources. But maybe God didn't

626
00:40:48,640 --> 00:40:52,120
Speaker 2: give you the resources so that he could source this one,

627
00:40:52,480 --> 00:40:55,320
Speaker 2: so he could get the glory for what he does

628
00:40:55,520 --> 00:41:02,040
Speaker 2: that you could never do. I feel annoyed to annoying

629
00:41:04,040 --> 00:41:07,560
Speaker 2: to tune my heart to truth. And there's a couple

630
00:41:07,560 --> 00:41:10,640
Speaker 2: of ways to tune the instruments. Because a stringed instrument

631
00:41:10,719 --> 00:41:13,960
Speaker 2: like you and me, we have heart strings, right A

632
00:41:14,040 --> 00:41:15,160
Speaker 2: stringed instrument.

633
00:41:15,520 --> 00:41:16,320
Speaker 1: Goes out of tune.

634
00:41:16,400 --> 00:41:18,840
Speaker 2: This guy came over to tune our piano and he

635
00:41:18,960 --> 00:41:22,520
Speaker 2: charged like three hundred dollars, And then he was back

636
00:41:22,560 --> 00:41:25,440
Speaker 2: a few months later and I was like, bro, do

637
00:41:25,480 --> 00:41:26,240
Speaker 2: I get a discount?

638
00:41:26,239 --> 00:41:29,960
Speaker 1: This is your second time trying this? He goes, no, Always,

639
00:41:30,080 --> 00:41:33,520
Speaker 1: I have to do it every time the weather changes, when.

640
00:41:33,280 --> 00:41:41,319
Speaker 2: The seasons change, the strings must be recalibrated. You're not

641
00:41:41,360 --> 00:41:45,400
Speaker 2: a kid anymore. The season is changing. How many of

642
00:41:45,440 --> 00:41:47,520
Speaker 2: you are going through a seasonal change in your life

643
00:41:47,600 --> 00:41:47,960
Speaker 2: right now?

644
00:41:48,120 --> 00:41:50,600
Speaker 1: Wave at me? How many of y'all feel like?

645
00:41:50,640 --> 00:41:54,239
Speaker 2: In Charlotte we go through three seasonal changes every every day.

646
00:41:54,400 --> 00:41:55,040
Speaker 1: Every week.

647
00:41:55,840 --> 00:41:58,120
Speaker 2: I'm gonna have the piano tuner over at my house

648
00:41:58,160 --> 00:41:59,080
Speaker 2: three times a day.

649
00:41:59,120 --> 00:42:01,800
Speaker 1: If we keep this way, other fluctuation up, good Lord,

650
00:42:03,880 --> 00:42:04,080
Speaker 1: And it.

651
00:42:04,120 --> 00:42:05,799
Speaker 2: Can feel like that in your life because every time

652
00:42:05,840 --> 00:42:11,719
Speaker 2: the temperature changes, you've got to retune every time the

653
00:42:11,760 --> 00:42:16,400
Speaker 2: seasons change, so that you need to be asking the question, God,

654
00:42:17,560 --> 00:42:18,640
Speaker 2: who do you want me to be?

655
00:42:18,760 --> 00:42:22,879
Speaker 1: Now? Who are you calling to me to be? Now?

656
00:42:23,120 --> 00:42:25,400
Speaker 2: What childish things do I need to put aside? My

657
00:42:25,480 --> 00:42:29,920
Speaker 2: season is changing. Sometimes you are in a season of abundance,

658
00:42:29,960 --> 00:42:31,600
Speaker 2: but you keep thinking like scarcity.

659
00:42:31,600 --> 00:42:33,239
Speaker 1: You're out of tune.

660
00:42:34,360 --> 00:42:36,759
Speaker 2: Sometimes you are in a season of focus, but you're

661
00:42:36,800 --> 00:42:39,319
Speaker 2: thinking fore. Sometimes you're in a season of marriage, but

662
00:42:39,400 --> 00:42:44,240
Speaker 2: you're scheduling your life like you're single. Your season has changed.

663
00:42:46,400 --> 00:42:49,920
Speaker 2: You have to retune. And so when you need to retune,

664
00:42:49,920 --> 00:42:53,759
Speaker 2: you can do a few things. One you can buy

665
00:42:53,960 --> 00:42:54,520
Speaker 2: one of these.

666
00:42:54,560 --> 00:42:55,320
Speaker 1: This is a tuner.

667
00:42:56,680 --> 00:43:01,400
Speaker 2: This one's about twenty dollars, and you can tune, and

668
00:43:01,440 --> 00:43:02,040
Speaker 2: you can do that.

669
00:43:03,040 --> 00:43:05,000
Speaker 1: But I'm going to give you something from the Bible. Okay.

670
00:43:06,160 --> 00:43:08,080
Speaker 2: I feel like Garth Brooks with this microphone and this

671
00:43:08,120 --> 00:43:09,279
Speaker 2: acoustic guitar right now.

672
00:43:10,080 --> 00:43:10,960
Speaker 1: This is so weird.

673
00:43:11,480 --> 00:43:13,680
Speaker 2: I visualized it, but I told the Lord, I'll flow.

674
00:43:13,520 --> 00:43:14,239
Speaker 1: With it however you want.

675
00:43:14,280 --> 00:43:16,680
Speaker 2: I never saw myself standing here holding the guitar in

676
00:43:16,719 --> 00:43:19,319
Speaker 2: this moment behind the pulpit. This is very awkward, and

677
00:43:19,360 --> 00:43:22,640
Speaker 2: I love you. Okay, Okay, here it is give me

678
00:43:22,719 --> 00:43:25,279
Speaker 2: Verse ten. I wanted to check the verse. David said,

679
00:43:25,320 --> 00:43:28,920
Speaker 2: not only is it important what you tune, that you

680
00:43:28,960 --> 00:43:33,400
Speaker 2: see yourself as a stringed instrument that has to be

681
00:43:33,520 --> 00:43:38,520
Speaker 2: tuned regularly to the intervals of God's specific purpose and

682
00:43:38,560 --> 00:43:39,800
Speaker 2: designation of your life.

683
00:43:39,920 --> 00:43:42,239
Speaker 1: Not only do I have to be tuned when I

684
00:43:42,280 --> 00:43:42,839
Speaker 1: go into a.

685
00:43:42,800 --> 00:43:46,120
Speaker 2: New room, a new season, so that I don't carry

686
00:43:46,239 --> 00:43:51,160
Speaker 2: yesterday's man of mentality into today's promised land situation. Not

687
00:43:51,320 --> 00:43:53,279
Speaker 2: only do I need got to tune me when I

688
00:43:53,320 --> 00:43:55,920
Speaker 2: go into something new, but watch this, he said, I

689
00:43:55,960 --> 00:44:01,400
Speaker 2: will sing to the one everybody say to the one.

690
00:44:01,640 --> 00:44:07,200
Speaker 2: I will sing to the one who gives victory to kings. Now,

691
00:44:07,239 --> 00:44:10,239
Speaker 2: not only is David saying I will sing to the

692
00:44:10,239 --> 00:44:13,120
Speaker 2: one like if I gave you a dollar, I gave

693
00:44:13,160 --> 00:44:16,640
Speaker 2: a dollar to you, but he's saying I am going

694
00:44:16,719 --> 00:44:21,160
Speaker 2: to sing in tune with the one.

695
00:44:21,400 --> 00:44:21,960
Speaker 1: I'll show you.

696
00:44:23,120 --> 00:44:28,640
Speaker 2: LJ is playing a digital instrument. His keyboard does not

697
00:44:28,760 --> 00:44:33,759
Speaker 2: go out of tune. It can't. It's digital. It is

698
00:44:33,800 --> 00:44:38,240
Speaker 2: set and it will stay set. His keyboard is tuned,

699
00:44:38,280 --> 00:44:40,640
Speaker 2: and I know it's in tune right now.

700
00:44:40,760 --> 00:44:43,200
Speaker 1: So the fact that I'm out of tune.

701
00:44:42,960 --> 00:44:48,279
Speaker 2: On this stringed instrument the means that I need to

702
00:44:48,320 --> 00:44:54,840
Speaker 2: turn around to someone who is always in tune.

703
00:44:58,480 --> 00:45:02,320
Speaker 1: I might retire after this. Look.

704
00:45:03,320 --> 00:45:05,279
Speaker 2: I've been thinking how to get this across to you.

705
00:45:05,320 --> 00:45:07,759
Speaker 2: I've been thinking about it for months. Because you think

706
00:45:07,800 --> 00:45:11,360
Speaker 2: you're trash. You are about to break your martin you're

707
00:45:11,400 --> 00:45:13,040
Speaker 2: about to mess up your mind.

708
00:45:13,080 --> 00:45:17,279
Speaker 1: You're about to walk away from your opportunity. It's not trashed,

709
00:45:18,440 --> 00:45:23,400
Speaker 1: it's just not tuned. So if I turn.

710
00:45:24,719 --> 00:45:30,160
Speaker 2: To the one who is in tune and I say, hey, LJ,

711
00:45:31,400 --> 00:45:36,000
Speaker 2: give me an E and he plays an E and

712
00:45:36,040 --> 00:45:38,480
Speaker 2: I play what's supposed to be an e on my

713
00:45:38,920 --> 00:45:45,120
Speaker 2: liar and he's playing the truth and I'm playing the liar.

714
00:45:46,120 --> 00:45:49,759
Speaker 2: And he says, E sounds like this, and I say,

715
00:45:49,760 --> 00:45:55,560
Speaker 2: E sounds like And he's playing higher and I'm playing lower.

716
00:45:56,840 --> 00:46:01,200
Speaker 2: He's right, I'm wrong. He's not coming down to me.

717
00:46:07,440 --> 00:46:08,319
Speaker 2: I'm coming up to.

718
00:46:08,320 --> 00:46:15,600
Speaker 1: Him because I'm turning to the one. You get it.

719
00:46:16,760 --> 00:46:22,479
Speaker 2: You're not coming down to it. It's not coming down

720
00:46:22,520 --> 00:46:26,080
Speaker 2: to you. God's not going to lower his standard. God's

721
00:46:26,120 --> 00:46:28,799
Speaker 2: not going to decide you're just in bondage. And that's

722
00:46:28,840 --> 00:46:31,640
Speaker 2: just the way you were born. If the sun will

723
00:46:31,719 --> 00:46:34,439
Speaker 2: make you free, you will be free.

724
00:46:34,480 --> 00:46:34,960
Speaker 1: Indeed.

725
00:46:36,800 --> 00:46:42,040
Speaker 2: So if I'm down here and he's up there, I'm

726
00:46:42,080 --> 00:46:43,720
Speaker 2: not staying down here.

727
00:46:44,120 --> 00:46:45,800
Speaker 1: I'm coming up higher.

728
00:46:49,320 --> 00:46:55,000
Speaker 9: Who fine? Five three people say, get up here, Get

729
00:46:55,080 --> 00:46:57,959
Speaker 9: up here where the glory is, Get up here where

730
00:46:58,000 --> 00:47:01,239
Speaker 9: the praise is, Get up here where the blessing is

731
00:47:01,760 --> 00:47:04,799
Speaker 9: get up here where the abundance is, Get up here

732
00:47:04,800 --> 00:47:09,000
Speaker 9: where the wisdom is first of all peaceable and then pure.

733
00:47:09,400 --> 00:47:12,040
Speaker 9: It comes from God and it can't.

734
00:47:11,800 --> 00:47:17,560
Speaker 1: Run out not to lose my voice.

735
00:47:18,320 --> 00:47:25,680
Speaker 2: Whose voice are you tuning too? And I decided that

736
00:47:25,840 --> 00:47:28,400
Speaker 2: even if everybody else does it, I'm not tuning to

737
00:47:28,480 --> 00:47:30,520
Speaker 2: everybody else in this season of my life.

738
00:47:31,719 --> 00:47:35,719
Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not stupid.

739
00:47:35,840 --> 00:47:39,560
Speaker 2: Is still stupid even if you call it true. So

740
00:47:39,600 --> 00:47:42,160
Speaker 2: if the Lord shows me the way I'm acting as stupid,

741
00:47:42,400 --> 00:47:47,120
Speaker 2: I'm not stooping, just stupid and calling it truth.

742
00:47:48,360 --> 00:47:51,359
Speaker 1: I'm tuning up. I'm tuning up, you feel me.

743
00:47:52,160 --> 00:47:54,280
Speaker 2: That's why I gotta get my Bible out in the morning,

744
00:47:54,280 --> 00:47:58,880
Speaker 2: because I gotta tune out, because I woke up feeling defeated,

745
00:47:58,920 --> 00:48:00,960
Speaker 2: but my Bible said I'm more than a conqueror.

746
00:48:00,960 --> 00:48:02,440
Speaker 1: I gotta tune up.

747
00:48:03,440 --> 00:48:05,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, because I could come down to the level of

748
00:48:05,560 --> 00:48:07,800
Speaker 2: what I feel, or I could come up to the

749
00:48:07,880 --> 00:48:11,120
Speaker 2: level of what God says. And I hear two voices

750
00:48:11,160 --> 00:48:14,040
Speaker 2: speaking today, and one is trying to make me a

751
00:48:14,160 --> 00:48:16,960
Speaker 2: victim and one is trying to make me a victor.

752
00:48:17,280 --> 00:48:20,680
Speaker 1: And I want to know whose report do you believe,

753
00:48:21,400 --> 00:48:28,399
Speaker 1: we shall believe. His report says, I am heal.

754
00:48:29,000 --> 00:48:32,879
Speaker 9: His report says I am free.

755
00:48:33,760 --> 00:48:39,400
Speaker 2: His report says, victory, give me a BLJ. Yeah, I'm

756
00:48:39,400 --> 00:48:42,040
Speaker 2: gonna get this thing back in tune.

757
00:48:42,400 --> 00:48:45,640
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get my life back in tune. You hear me.

758
00:48:45,760 --> 00:48:48,880
Speaker 2: I'm gonna get my heart ungunked and unjunked and unloaded

759
00:48:48,880 --> 00:48:51,760
Speaker 2: and unblocked and unstopped because.

760
00:48:51,560 --> 00:48:53,080
Speaker 1: I believe God wants to use me.

761
00:48:53,840 --> 00:48:56,520
Speaker 2: I believe God wants to do more through me, and

762
00:48:56,600 --> 00:48:58,759
Speaker 2: I can't do it out of tune. The fount of

763
00:48:58,800 --> 00:49:02,360
Speaker 2: every blessing can't flow through me if I'm fixated on

764
00:49:02,400 --> 00:49:06,760
Speaker 2: what I think is true. Let God be true Romans

765
00:49:06,800 --> 00:49:10,520
Speaker 2: three four and every man a liar man.

766
00:49:10,560 --> 00:49:11,879
Speaker 1: One time, give me a g LJ.

767
00:49:13,920 --> 00:49:16,840
Speaker 2: One time I went on the comments you want to

768
00:49:16,880 --> 00:49:20,920
Speaker 2: get out of tune, go on a YouTube.

769
00:49:20,520 --> 00:49:30,680
Speaker 1: Comment my God about right there. It's ten years ago.

770
00:49:30,719 --> 00:49:32,040
Speaker 2: I was to remember this, how much someone can give

771
00:49:32,080 --> 00:49:34,400
Speaker 2: in your heart something not only a lie, like somebody

772
00:49:34,400 --> 00:49:36,879
Speaker 2: telling you that sexual immorality is no big deal.

773
00:49:36,880 --> 00:49:39,040
Speaker 1: Well that's a lie, but.

774
00:49:39,480 --> 00:49:43,080
Speaker 2: That's what my heart is leading me.

775
00:49:43,320 --> 00:49:50,799
Speaker 1: Your heart is liar. God's not bringing his standard down

776
00:49:51,920 --> 00:49:57,600
Speaker 1: to fit your situation. He called you up.

777
00:49:58,120 --> 00:50:01,960
Speaker 2: Now he doesn't hate you, he doesn't, but he's not

778
00:50:02,000 --> 00:50:04,120
Speaker 2: going to leave you in a dissonant state so you

779
00:50:04,160 --> 00:50:05,080
Speaker 2: miss your destiny.

780
00:50:05,400 --> 00:50:08,080
Speaker 1: He's going to bring you in tune.

781
00:50:08,880 --> 00:50:10,560
Speaker 2: The Lord loves you too much to let you spend

782
00:50:10,600 --> 00:50:12,279
Speaker 2: the rest of your life in harmony with Hell.

783
00:50:20,680 --> 00:50:22,720
Speaker 1: Speaking of Hell, the YouTube comments.

784
00:50:26,400 --> 00:50:28,360
Speaker 2: It was during the time in the church where I

785
00:50:28,400 --> 00:50:30,160
Speaker 2: used to sing more when we would finish the worship,

786
00:50:30,200 --> 00:50:31,640
Speaker 2: and I would come out and sing at him all

787
00:50:31,640 --> 00:50:36,360
Speaker 2: the time, all right, And the YouTube comment on the

788
00:50:36,400 --> 00:50:39,160
Speaker 2: sermons said, I remember it almost word for word, and

789
00:50:39,200 --> 00:50:41,080
Speaker 2: God forgive me for giving this person my attention like

790
00:50:41,160 --> 00:50:41,319
Speaker 2: I did.

791
00:50:41,360 --> 00:50:42,359
Speaker 1: But they said that.

792
00:50:42,320 --> 00:50:47,440
Speaker 2: Awkward moment when Stephen Ferdick starts singing the song and

793
00:50:47,520 --> 00:50:49,520
Speaker 2: everybody secretly, which is just shut up and let the

794
00:50:49,520 --> 00:50:55,880
Speaker 2: real singer sing. Not that I pay any attention to

795
00:50:55,920 --> 00:51:00,399
Speaker 2: that stuff whatever like that. You know that thing God

796
00:51:00,400 --> 00:51:12,080
Speaker 2: in my heart? I heard, Man, it got in my heart.

797
00:51:16,880 --> 00:51:19,480
Speaker 2: It could be anything. I'll go on sometimes and I'll say,

798
00:51:19,480 --> 00:51:21,239
Speaker 2: why is he wearing that T shirt? He wore a

799
00:51:21,440 --> 00:51:24,560
Speaker 2: two T shirt on the stage. It's not this is

800
00:51:24,600 --> 00:51:27,360
Speaker 2: not the this is not the gospel. Where's Jesus and

801
00:51:27,520 --> 00:51:31,360
Speaker 2: this Jesus is not a YouTube. It's not a stuff

802
00:51:31,400 --> 00:51:35,399
Speaker 2: can get in your heart if I let it. If

803
00:51:35,400 --> 00:51:39,040
Speaker 2: I let it that because I'm not a professionally trained singer,

804
00:51:39,120 --> 00:51:40,000
Speaker 2: keep me from singing.

805
00:51:41,760 --> 00:51:44,400
Speaker 1: What songs wouldn't I have written over the last ten years.

806
00:51:51,800 --> 00:51:53,920
Speaker 2: If I let everybody who said I didn't preach the

807
00:51:53,960 --> 00:51:57,440
Speaker 2: real gospel keep me from preaching the gospel?

808
00:51:59,239 --> 00:52:01,680

815
00:52:31,080 --> 00:52:33,520
Speaker 1: Your wife loves you and knows you're a man of God.

Speaker 1: The Lord Jesus who above all.

872
00:57:02,640 --> 00:57:08,960
Speaker 2: Away from the lives, quieting your own heart, allowing his

873
00:57:09,040 --> 00:57:13,360
Speaker 2: heart to come through. David was a good man with

874
00:57:13,480 --> 00:57:18,040
Speaker 2: a good heart. But even the best heart gets out

875
00:57:18,120 --> 00:57:24,880
Speaker 2: it too. You did what you did, but that doesn't

876
00:57:24,920 --> 00:57:25,959

Speaker 2: let him show you some things again, and invite.

881
00:57:43,560 --> 00:57:51,200
Speaker 1: Him to take your hand off the sling.

882
00:57:52,480 --> 00:57:56,960
Speaker 2: And stop trying to fight in your own strength, and

883
00:57:57,040 --> 00:58:01,040
Speaker 2: let him put his hands on the strained instrument of

884
00:58:01,080 --> 00:58:04,080
Speaker 2: your heart so that you can sing again.

885
00:58:06,120 --> 00:58:15,560

890
00:58:37,000 --> 00:58:43,400
Speaker 2: This is a pause between praises, a pause, a transitional moment.
