0:03:47.360 --> 0:03:49.480
<v Speaker 1>week after so much good stuff.

0:03:50.120 --> 0:03:53.200
<v Speaker 2>Holly's been locked away in the studio making small group curriculum.

0:03:53.760 --> 0:03:56.080
<v Speaker 2>We've just been going at it this year. We've been

0:03:56.120 --> 0:03:59.080
<v Speaker 2>writing songs. I think we wrote eight songs last week.

0:03:59.520 --> 0:04:03.560
<v Speaker 2>And the Lord is about to pour out a gully washing.

0:04:05.400 --> 0:04:08.800
<v Speaker 2>Do you know the word gully washing? A gully washing

0:04:08.880 --> 0:04:12.080
<v Speaker 2>torrent of his grace and mercy upon our church in

0:04:12.160 --> 0:04:12.920
<v Speaker 2>this next year.

0:04:13.480 --> 0:04:18.160
<v Speaker 1>And I'm excited you're here for it. You say, well,

0:04:18.160 --> 0:04:19.839
<v Speaker 1>I'm not even a member. You don't have to be.

0:04:20.440 --> 0:04:23.919
<v Speaker 2>This is one of those overflowing blessings. If you just

0:04:23.920 --> 0:04:26.280
<v Speaker 2>get close enough to the boat, it'll splash on you.

0:04:26.320 --> 0:04:32.400
<v Speaker 2>I'm telling you, man, God's got something incredible all right. Today,

0:04:32.440 --> 0:04:35.880
<v Speaker 2>I want to share with you a message that I've

0:04:35.880 --> 0:04:38.680
<v Speaker 2>been trying to figure out how to present since this summer.

0:04:38.800 --> 0:04:43.479
<v Speaker 2>So I'm excited. Just give you a picture, and I

0:04:43.520 --> 0:04:45.240
<v Speaker 2>know it's going to help you. Turning your Bible to

0:04:45.480 --> 0:04:54.479
<v Speaker 2>Psalm Chapter one Psalm one four. Been waiting on the

0:04:54.560 --> 0:04:57.880
<v Speaker 2>right time to preach this one. The Lord showed me

0:04:57.920 --> 0:05:00.479
<v Speaker 2>how to do it, and I pray you will help me.

0:05:00.520 --> 0:05:02.960
<v Speaker 2>You pray for me too, because if he helps me,

0:05:03.040 --> 0:05:08.320
<v Speaker 2>it helps you. So pray for me that I would

0:05:08.400 --> 0:05:11.680
<v Speaker 2>say what he wants me to say, nothing more, nothing less.

0:05:12.279 --> 0:05:19.400
<v Speaker 1>So one forty four. Are you ready? I take that

0:05:19.440 --> 0:05:23.960
<v Speaker 1>as a no. Are you ready?

0:05:26.279 --> 0:05:30.880
<v Speaker 2>Praise me to the Lord, my Rock, who trains my

0:05:31.120 --> 0:05:37.599
<v Speaker 2>hands for war, my fingers for battle. He is my

0:05:37.760 --> 0:05:41.280
<v Speaker 2>loving God, and my fortress, my stronghold, and my deliverer,

0:05:42.200 --> 0:05:46.719
<v Speaker 2>my shield, in whom I take refuge, who subdues peoples

0:05:47.440 --> 0:05:48.080
<v Speaker 2>under me.

0:05:49.200 --> 0:05:52.480
<v Speaker 1>Drop down to verse nine. Please, I will sing a

0:05:52.520 --> 0:05:55.120
<v Speaker 1>new song to you, my God.

0:05:55.920 --> 0:05:58.640
<v Speaker 2>On the ten string, liar, I will make music to you,

0:05:59.520 --> 0:06:03.520
<v Speaker 2>to the world. One who gives victory the kings, who

0:06:03.560 --> 0:06:08.039
<v Speaker 2>delivers his servant David now say your name this time,

0:06:08.080 --> 0:06:12.159
<v Speaker 2>who delivers his servant. Yeah, he's going to deliver you.

0:06:13.200 --> 0:06:16.200
<v Speaker 2>He's going to deliver you. He's going to deliver you

0:06:16.240 --> 0:06:20.039
<v Speaker 2>from the deadly sword. Deliver me, rescue me from the

0:06:20.080 --> 0:06:24.119
<v Speaker 2>hands of foreigners whose mouths are full of lies, whose

0:06:24.240 --> 0:06:30.400
<v Speaker 2>right hands are deceitful. Say amen to that. Now, let's

0:06:30.440 --> 0:06:33.400
<v Speaker 2>look at Colossians Chapter three, verse one. Just one verse

0:06:33.440 --> 0:06:41.840
<v Speaker 2>from Colossians the third chapter, the first verse. You ready,

0:06:41.920 --> 0:06:46.719
<v Speaker 2>since then you have been raised with Christ, set your

0:06:46.760 --> 0:06:53.360
<v Speaker 2>hearts on things above where Christ is seated at the

0:06:53.440 --> 0:06:59.279
<v Speaker 2>right hand of God. I want to teach you today

0:06:59.760 --> 0:07:07.200
<v Speaker 2>how to tune your heart to truth, How to tune

0:07:07.800 --> 0:07:11.200
<v Speaker 2>your heart to truth, so you can get some peace,

0:07:12.560 --> 0:07:16.120
<v Speaker 2>so you can get some joy, so you can get

0:07:16.160 --> 0:07:18.640
<v Speaker 2>some energy, so you can.

0:07:18.520 --> 0:07:20.720
<v Speaker 1>Get some direction. Father.

0:07:20.840 --> 0:07:23.800
<v Speaker 2>Now I stand ready to be used by you. Blow

0:07:23.880 --> 0:07:26.960
<v Speaker 2>through me like I'm a trumpet, and use me how

0:07:27.000 --> 0:07:27.520
<v Speaker 2>you want to.

0:07:28.160 --> 0:07:31.680
<v Speaker 1>In Jesus name, Amen, you may be seated.

0:07:38.720 --> 0:07:41.720
<v Speaker 2>The fun thing about marriage, well, there's a lot of

0:07:41.720 --> 0:07:49.200
<v Speaker 2>fun things about marriage. One fun thing is putting little

0:07:49.280 --> 0:07:55.560
<v Speaker 2>nicknames in your phone for your spouse's contact And how

0:07:55.560 --> 0:07:58.360
<v Speaker 2>many of you have a name for your spouse significant

0:07:58.400 --> 0:08:00.720
<v Speaker 2>other in your phone. That is not their legal name.

0:08:01.600 --> 0:08:05.880
<v Speaker 2>It's not their social Security number. I've changed the name

0:08:05.920 --> 0:08:07.920
<v Speaker 2>I have for Holly about once every year. The one

0:08:07.960 --> 0:08:10.080
<v Speaker 2>I have now is just two emojis. I've got the

0:08:10.280 --> 0:08:14.320
<v Speaker 2>heart emoji and the queen emoji because she's the queen

0:08:15.000 --> 0:08:18.880
<v Speaker 2>of my heart. And of course it's an orange heart

0:08:18.880 --> 0:08:21.240
<v Speaker 2>for Daba and for Clemson.

0:08:21.520 --> 0:08:23.960
<v Speaker 1>And it's funny.

0:08:23.960 --> 0:08:25.280
<v Speaker 2>One day I had it hooked up to the car

0:08:25.280 --> 0:08:27.280
<v Speaker 2>where it reads the text to you when they come through,

0:08:27.640 --> 0:08:29.800
<v Speaker 2>and it was reading it out loud and it said

0:08:30.000 --> 0:08:32.720
<v Speaker 2>text from Orange Heart Light Skin Princess.

0:08:36.520 --> 0:08:38.560
<v Speaker 1>So that's what I call her around the house when we're.

0:08:38.400 --> 0:08:40.520
<v Speaker 2>Not here on Sunday, come over here, orange Heart Light

0:08:40.600 --> 0:08:46.760
<v Speaker 2>Skin Princess. Well, she put the name in her phone

0:08:46.800 --> 0:08:48.480
<v Speaker 2>for me, and again we'll change them. We'll get a

0:08:48.520 --> 0:08:50.679
<v Speaker 2>little new inside joke and we'll change it from time

0:08:50.720 --> 0:08:52.680
<v Speaker 2>to time. If you don't have a different name for

0:08:52.720 --> 0:08:55.360
<v Speaker 2>your spouse in your phone than their name, you need

0:08:55.360 --> 0:08:59.520
<v Speaker 2>to be more intimate. Yet it's a predictor of how

0:08:59.520 --> 0:09:01.160
<v Speaker 2>long the marry just gonna last if you have a

0:09:01.160 --> 0:09:04.160
<v Speaker 2>playful name in your phone. I'm sure a study says

0:09:04.160 --> 0:09:06.600
<v Speaker 2>that somewhere eighty seven percent of studies are made up

0:09:06.600 --> 0:09:07.319
<v Speaker 2>on the spot.

0:09:08.640 --> 0:09:09.840
<v Speaker 1>All right.

0:09:10.640 --> 0:09:12.280
<v Speaker 2>So she put a name in her phone for me,

0:09:12.440 --> 0:09:14.080
<v Speaker 2>and I just thought about this this morning when I

0:09:14.120 --> 0:09:16.199
<v Speaker 2>was thinking how I want to introduce this topic to you.

0:09:17.120 --> 0:09:19.160
<v Speaker 2>And we got it from a John Mayer song and

0:09:19.400 --> 0:09:21.720
<v Speaker 2>it said a good man with a good heart. There's

0:09:21.760 --> 0:09:24.240
<v Speaker 2>song that we really liked that John Mayer saying he said, I'm.

0:09:24.080 --> 0:09:27.560
<v Speaker 1>A good man with a good heart. I'm not going

0:09:27.640 --> 0:09:28.280
<v Speaker 1>to sing anymore.

0:09:28.320 --> 0:09:30.760
<v Speaker 2>So I don't get you tube copyright straight on that

0:09:31.080 --> 0:09:33.800
<v Speaker 2>from John Maher, But that would say that in her

0:09:33.840 --> 0:09:35.520
<v Speaker 2>phone when I would call a good man with a

0:09:35.559 --> 0:09:35.960
<v Speaker 2>good heart.

0:09:37.400 --> 0:09:43.880
<v Speaker 1>So of course it makes you wonder, am I am? I?

0:09:43.960 --> 0:09:44.319
<v Speaker 2>Are you.

0:09:45.840 --> 0:09:50.319
<v Speaker 1>A good man with a good heart. We're going to

0:09:50.360 --> 0:09:51.439
<v Speaker 1>talk about that for a moment.

0:09:52.040 --> 0:09:56.000
<v Speaker 2>We're going to talk about a good heart, because honestly,

0:09:57.040 --> 0:10:02.080
<v Speaker 2>I am surprised how quickly my heart can switch from

0:10:02.080 --> 0:10:06.679
<v Speaker 2>the best intention to the worst decision. Y'all aren't going

0:10:06.720 --> 0:10:09.319
<v Speaker 2>to help me preach a bit today. I had to

0:10:09.360 --> 0:10:12.280
<v Speaker 2>take discermon to Boston in a couple of weeks. This

0:10:12.520 --> 0:10:16.520
<v Speaker 2>is so difficult in the South to preach anyway, isn't it?

0:10:16.600 --> 0:10:16.640
<v Speaker 1>Like?

0:10:16.640 --> 0:10:19.360
<v Speaker 2>Because we say bless your heart what we mean is

0:10:19.760 --> 0:10:23.959
<v Speaker 2>you are an idiot. Oh bless your heart so that

0:10:25.240 --> 0:10:28.760
<v Speaker 2>even that it's difficult, Do I have a good heart? Well,

0:10:30.040 --> 0:10:34.920
<v Speaker 2>my heart this week wanted so many different things. There

0:10:34.920 --> 0:10:38.080
<v Speaker 2>were times this week, well my heart wanted to stay

0:10:38.120 --> 0:10:41.679
<v Speaker 2>in bed, pull up the covers, and pretend like y'all

0:10:41.720 --> 0:10:43.600
<v Speaker 2>weren't coming to hear a word from God this week

0:10:43.840 --> 0:10:45.040
<v Speaker 2>because I didn't know how.

0:10:44.960 --> 0:10:46.680
<v Speaker 1>To say it. That happens every week.

0:10:47.520 --> 0:10:50.280
<v Speaker 2>Another part of my heart wanted to get in here

0:10:50.880 --> 0:10:54.480
<v Speaker 2>and find whatever chain you've been bound by and take

0:10:54.559 --> 0:10:58.080
<v Speaker 2>the hammer of the word of God and see if

0:10:58.120 --> 0:11:01.320
<v Speaker 2>the Lord might break you loose for his glory so

0:11:01.400 --> 0:11:03.679
<v Speaker 2>you can get on with doing what you're supposed to

0:11:03.720 --> 0:11:11.600
<v Speaker 2>do this year, same heart. One part of my heart

0:11:11.640 --> 0:11:15.400
<v Speaker 2>this week wanted to be a tentist, a good listener.

0:11:15.880 --> 0:11:18.360
<v Speaker 2>One part of my heart want to be like, would

0:11:18.360 --> 0:11:19.040
<v Speaker 2>you shut up.

0:11:18.920 --> 0:11:20.480
<v Speaker 1>And let me talk because you don't know what you're

0:11:20.520 --> 0:11:21.120
<v Speaker 1>talking about?

0:11:21.240 --> 0:11:23.959
<v Speaker 2>And it was in the same conversation, and it wasn't

0:11:23.960 --> 0:11:25.199
<v Speaker 2>with anybody in this room.

0:11:25.520 --> 0:11:30.160
<v Speaker 1>From the same heart, from the same heart.

0:11:31.400 --> 0:11:35.680
<v Speaker 2>We are thankful in these moments for biblical examples like David,

0:11:35.880 --> 0:11:41.520
<v Speaker 2>aren't we who from the same heart said Bless the Lord,

0:11:41.640 --> 0:11:44.880
<v Speaker 2>oh my soul, and all that is within me.

0:11:45.480 --> 0:11:46.600
<v Speaker 1>Bless this holy name.

0:11:47.640 --> 0:11:52.840
<v Speaker 2>And from the same heart said, go get that woman, Bathsheba,

0:11:53.080 --> 0:11:55.320
<v Speaker 2>who is not my wife.

0:11:55.840 --> 0:11:56.760
<v Speaker 1>Bring her to me.

0:11:57.800 --> 0:12:00.920
<v Speaker 2>I want to be intimate with her more than I

0:12:00.960 --> 0:12:05.120
<v Speaker 2>want to be obedient to God. From the same heart

0:12:05.960 --> 0:12:13.240
<v Speaker 2>that devised such beautiful language and poetry came so many problems.

0:12:13.640 --> 0:12:19.240
<v Speaker 2>David had great praise in his heart. David had great

0:12:19.360 --> 0:12:24.320
<v Speaker 2>problems in his life. One scripture writer said he had

0:12:24.400 --> 0:12:28.240
<v Speaker 2>ninety nine problems, and Bathsheba was one.

0:12:28.400 --> 0:12:29.480
<v Speaker 1>Now, before we.

0:12:29.480 --> 0:12:35.480
<v Speaker 2>Move deeper in this textual conversation about your heart, I

0:12:35.520 --> 0:12:38.880
<v Speaker 2>know it switches sometimes where you feel really grateful and

0:12:38.920 --> 0:12:41.280
<v Speaker 2>then you get really petty.

0:12:41.480 --> 0:12:44.520
<v Speaker 1>Wrong side of the room, fake side, real.

0:12:44.320 --> 0:12:50.560
<v Speaker 2>Side, pettiness and praise same heart. Always point this out

0:12:50.600 --> 0:12:53.439
<v Speaker 2>when I preach about David, lest we forget that we

0:12:53.480 --> 0:12:57.160
<v Speaker 2>are learning from someone in the scripture whose life was

0:12:57.200 --> 0:12:58.319
<v Speaker 2>not always perfect.

0:12:59.320 --> 0:13:02.400
<v Speaker 1>Now, in our culture, we.

0:13:02.360 --> 0:13:05.640
<v Speaker 2>Will see a very different definition and relationship to what's

0:13:05.679 --> 0:13:08.320
<v Speaker 2>called the heart. And I'm going to define it in

0:13:08.440 --> 0:13:10.480
<v Speaker 2>just a moment, but I'm not talking about the organ.

0:13:11.440 --> 0:13:15.360
<v Speaker 2>We see a very different definition than we see scriptually

0:13:15.840 --> 0:13:21.559
<v Speaker 2>in our culture today. In our culture today, the heart.

0:13:21.400 --> 0:13:24.360
<v Speaker 1>Is a master to be obeyed.

0:13:25.200 --> 0:13:30.720
<v Speaker 2>Therefore we give advice like, okay, follow your heart.

0:13:31.360 --> 0:13:32.920
<v Speaker 1>In the scripture, it's a little different.

0:13:34.040 --> 0:13:36.400
<v Speaker 2>In the scripture, the heart does not seem to be

0:13:36.920 --> 0:13:43.319
<v Speaker 2>a master to be obeyed. Heart representing the center of

0:13:43.360 --> 0:13:45.400
<v Speaker 2>your internal life. You're like, what are you talking about

0:13:45.400 --> 0:13:46.559
<v Speaker 2>my heart? I mean that can mean a lot of

0:13:46.559 --> 0:13:48.480
<v Speaker 2>different things. You're talking about my ability to love. You're

0:13:48.480 --> 0:13:50.319
<v Speaker 2>talking about my excitement, or you talking about my passion,

0:13:50.400 --> 0:13:53.480
<v Speaker 2>or you talk about my conscience. Yes, all of those

0:13:53.520 --> 0:13:56.199
<v Speaker 2>things are embodied in the Hebrew idea of the heart.

0:13:57.520 --> 0:14:02.160
<v Speaker 2>It is the center of your internal world, and in

0:14:02.200 --> 0:14:08.920
<v Speaker 2>the Scripture, the heart is capable of incredible generosity. One

0:14:08.960 --> 0:14:12.480
<v Speaker 2>man said to his fellow comrade, do all that is

0:14:12.960 --> 0:14:16.320
<v Speaker 2>in your mind. I am with you. Heart and soul.

0:14:17.280 --> 0:14:21.040
<v Speaker 2>From the heart flow the issues of life. So one

0:14:21.080 --> 0:14:26.320
<v Speaker 2>scripture writer said, guard your heart. That's really different, isn't it?

0:14:26.920 --> 0:14:34.800
<v Speaker 1>Then? Follow your heart. Follow your heart means my heart

0:14:35.200 --> 0:14:35.920
<v Speaker 1>is leading me.

0:14:36.920 --> 0:14:39.080
<v Speaker 2>And the only problem that I have with my heart

0:14:39.160 --> 0:14:44.120
<v Speaker 2>leading me is that is a limited resource. Because sometimes

0:14:44.160 --> 0:14:49.200
<v Speaker 2>I feel like following Jesus, sometimes I don't. Sometimes I

0:14:49.240 --> 0:14:53.960
<v Speaker 2>feel like forgiving, sometimes I don't sometimes I feel like

0:14:54.040 --> 0:14:57.040
<v Speaker 2>turning the other cheek, and sometimes I feel like kicking.

0:14:57.560 --> 0:15:00.720
<v Speaker 1>My heart needs to be guarded.

0:15:02.080 --> 0:15:04.280
<v Speaker 2>So let's go back to Colossians three for a moment,

0:15:04.320 --> 0:15:05.760
<v Speaker 2>and then I'll bring you to David, and then I

0:15:05.760 --> 0:15:06.720
<v Speaker 2>want to show you this in.

0:15:06.680 --> 0:15:07.960
<v Speaker 1>A visual form.

0:15:08.360 --> 0:15:12.320
<v Speaker 2>In Colossians, the apostle Paul says, since then you have

0:15:12.400 --> 0:15:18.000
<v Speaker 2>been raised with Christ. Question class past tense or present tense.

0:15:20.200 --> 0:15:24.800
<v Speaker 2>You have been raised with Christ past tense or presentents.

0:15:25.920 --> 0:15:29.040
<v Speaker 1>Since that happened, raised with Christ.

0:15:29.840 --> 0:15:35.480
<v Speaker 2>Set your hearts on things above past tense or present tense.

0:15:36.680 --> 0:15:38.000
<v Speaker 1>Okay, I'm pointing this.

0:15:37.960 --> 0:15:39.520
<v Speaker 2>Out to you not because I think you need a

0:15:39.560 --> 0:15:43.480
<v Speaker 2>grammar lesson, but because I want you to understand your

0:15:43.520 --> 0:15:48.200
<v Speaker 2>soul can be saved and your heart still has to

0:15:48.240 --> 0:15:49.200
<v Speaker 2>be set.

0:15:51.960 --> 0:15:55.360
<v Speaker 1>The language here is active, not passive.

0:15:56.480 --> 0:16:01.040
<v Speaker 2>Therefore, since you have been raised with Christ, fall your heart.

0:16:01.520 --> 0:16:05.840
<v Speaker 2>The heart wants what it wants, give it what it wants.

0:16:06.080 --> 0:16:08.320
<v Speaker 2>You don't do that with a two year old. The

0:16:08.360 --> 0:16:11.000
<v Speaker 2>two year old would have their tongue in a light sucket,

0:16:11.440 --> 0:16:14.560
<v Speaker 2>and you watch the two year old because you love

0:16:14.640 --> 0:16:16.800
<v Speaker 2>the two year old. The two year old is not

0:16:16.920 --> 0:16:20.360
<v Speaker 2>your enemy. Neither is your heart your emotions are not

0:16:20.480 --> 0:16:21.080
<v Speaker 2>your enemy.

0:16:21.600 --> 0:16:23.400
<v Speaker 1>Neither is your two year old.

0:16:23.800 --> 0:16:26.440
<v Speaker 2>But the point that I'm trying to make here is

0:16:26.440 --> 0:16:29.360
<v Speaker 2>that your heart while not an enemy to be defeated,

0:16:29.400 --> 0:16:32.120
<v Speaker 2>because God gave you that heart, and He will speak

0:16:32.160 --> 0:16:34.280
<v Speaker 2>to you through that heart, and he will move in

0:16:34.320 --> 0:16:37.120
<v Speaker 2>your heart. And sometimes people will say, well, Fredick's just

0:16:37.240 --> 0:16:41.680
<v Speaker 2>an emotionalist. He's just an emotional preacher. What do you

0:16:41.800 --> 0:16:46.840
<v Speaker 2>want me to be? Do you want me to be

0:16:46.920 --> 0:16:50.280
<v Speaker 2>an ambient preacher and put you to sleep and stand

0:16:50.360 --> 0:16:50.800
<v Speaker 2>up here.

0:16:50.680 --> 0:16:54.280
<v Speaker 1>And drone on and on and not move you God?

0:16:54.320 --> 0:16:57.360
<v Speaker 2>When God found David, he said, I found a man

0:16:57.600 --> 0:17:02.880
<v Speaker 2>after my own heart. God is after your heart. God

0:17:03.000 --> 0:17:05.919
<v Speaker 2>wants you to feel for him. God wants you to

0:17:05.960 --> 0:17:09.480
<v Speaker 2>praise him with enthusiasm for your future.

0:17:09.400 --> 0:17:11.800
<v Speaker 1>And with an excitement about who he is.

0:17:14.720 --> 0:17:19.080
<v Speaker 2>Quiet Christians, take note, You've got something to shout about

0:17:19.119 --> 0:17:29.440
<v Speaker 2>if you want to. And yet the word set drew

0:17:29.480 --> 0:17:34.040
<v Speaker 2>my attention because the idea that I have been raised

0:17:34.080 --> 0:17:35.720
<v Speaker 2>with Christ, Jesus did that for me.

0:17:36.640 --> 0:17:38.760
<v Speaker 1>Come on, Jesus did that for you. He died for you.

0:17:39.760 --> 0:17:41.119
<v Speaker 1>Jesus gave you a new heart.

0:17:41.320 --> 0:17:44.960
<v Speaker 2>The scripture speaks about a stony heart and a heart

0:17:44.960 --> 0:17:47.960
<v Speaker 2>of flesh. One is the old covenant keeping the commandments,

0:17:48.400 --> 0:17:52.080
<v Speaker 2>and one is the new covenant, established and ratified by

0:17:52.080 --> 0:17:54.879
<v Speaker 2>the blood of our very own Savior, whereby He makes

0:17:54.920 --> 0:17:57.200
<v Speaker 2>you new on the inside.

0:17:58.280 --> 0:18:03.680
<v Speaker 1>And yet this new heart that I have still has

0:18:03.720 --> 0:18:04.679
<v Speaker 1>to be set.

0:18:06.400 --> 0:18:10.119
<v Speaker 2>Because it is not like the infomercial used to say,

0:18:10.760 --> 0:18:12.760
<v Speaker 2>set it and forget it.

0:18:14.520 --> 0:18:16.600
<v Speaker 1>I promise you if you take that.

0:18:16.600 --> 0:18:21.199
<v Speaker 2>Approach to your own spiritual life and your attitude and

0:18:21.240 --> 0:18:24.880
<v Speaker 2>your mindset, I don't care how much blood of Jesus

0:18:24.880 --> 0:18:31.240
<v Speaker 2>covers you. If you don't take responsibility for setting your heart.

0:18:31.920 --> 0:18:37.560
<v Speaker 2>That is a decision, not a default. And if you

0:18:37.680 --> 0:18:43.359
<v Speaker 2>don't do it, the devil will if you don't do it,

0:18:44.200 --> 0:18:51.479
<v Speaker 2>Disappointment will if you don't do it, stress will. The

0:18:51.520 --> 0:18:55.680
<v Speaker 2>heart is not an enemy to be hated. You can

0:18:55.800 --> 0:18:58.679
<v Speaker 2>enjoy the emotions God gave you, and that's wonderful. The

0:18:58.760 --> 0:19:04.600
<v Speaker 2>heart is not either a leader to be followed. I'll

0:19:04.640 --> 0:19:06.800
<v Speaker 2>tell you why. The heart is not a leader to

0:19:06.840 --> 0:19:10.119
<v Speaker 2>be followed because and I want you to say this

0:19:10.200 --> 0:19:11.879
<v Speaker 2>to your neighbor because it's gonna sound mean, and I

0:19:11.920 --> 0:19:14.959
<v Speaker 2>want you to be in on it with me, so

0:19:15.000 --> 0:19:17.840
<v Speaker 2>we all get in trouble together. Look at your neighbor

0:19:18.720 --> 0:19:20.960
<v Speaker 2>and say your heart is a liar.

0:19:27.560 --> 0:19:30.040
<v Speaker 1>It's not a whole conversation. That's all you're supposed to say.

0:19:30.720 --> 0:19:32.960
<v Speaker 1>You don't need any time for any response. All right,

0:19:34.080 --> 0:19:34.760
<v Speaker 1>no rebuttal.

0:19:35.119 --> 0:19:39.879
<v Speaker 2>We would take our questions at the end of the class. Okay,

0:19:39.920 --> 0:19:41.320
<v Speaker 2>look at your other neighbors so they don't think you're

0:19:41.320 --> 0:19:41.840
<v Speaker 2>picking on them.

0:19:41.880 --> 0:19:43.960
<v Speaker 1>Say your heart is a liar.

0:19:48.119 --> 0:19:53.200
<v Speaker 2>I don't appreciate this. I came to be uplifted and

0:19:54.680 --> 0:19:57.960
<v Speaker 2>I'm encouraged by the word of God.

0:20:00.160 --> 0:20:02.720
<v Speaker 1>All right, since you want to talk about the word

0:20:02.720 --> 0:20:03.080
<v Speaker 1>of God.

0:20:03.480 --> 0:20:09.920
<v Speaker 2>Jeremiah seventeen nine, The heart is.

0:20:11.720 --> 0:20:12.960
<v Speaker 1>Deceitful.

0:20:15.119 --> 0:20:20.800
<v Speaker 2>Now you understand why I can't let my heart be

0:20:20.960 --> 0:20:27.240
<v Speaker 2>my leader because I found out my heart is a liar,

0:20:28.520 --> 0:20:36.880
<v Speaker 2>and I think we got enough liars for leaders without

0:20:36.920 --> 0:20:40.879
<v Speaker 2>electing our own point of view, to call the shots,

0:20:41.920 --> 0:20:45.320
<v Speaker 2>without electing how I feel at three pm, to call.

0:20:45.200 --> 0:20:47.360
<v Speaker 1>The shots without.

0:20:47.080 --> 0:20:49.119
<v Speaker 2>Waiting to see if I'm in the mood that I

0:20:49.160 --> 0:20:50.679
<v Speaker 2>need to be in to do the thing that I

0:20:50.720 --> 0:20:56.159
<v Speaker 2>said I would do last week. My heart can't be

0:20:56.280 --> 0:21:02.960
<v Speaker 2>my leader because my heart is a liar. Don't get

0:21:03.000 --> 0:21:07.840
<v Speaker 2>me wrong, my heart is also an incredible asset to

0:21:07.920 --> 0:21:08.960
<v Speaker 2>show me in moments.

0:21:09.760 --> 0:21:11.280
<v Speaker 1>This is what God cares about.

0:21:12.359 --> 0:21:15.040
<v Speaker 2>You know. We say my heart goes out to you.

0:21:15.240 --> 0:21:17.199
<v Speaker 2>It means this is one of the ways that I

0:21:17.240 --> 0:21:20.919
<v Speaker 2>feel guided to help people. And so that's how I

0:21:20.960 --> 0:21:23.520
<v Speaker 2>know to give that waitress a fifty dollars tip because.

0:21:23.680 --> 0:21:24.640
<v Speaker 1>Something in my heart.

0:21:24.880 --> 0:21:27.680
<v Speaker 2>That's how I know to, you know, overlook the offense

0:21:27.720 --> 0:21:30.480
<v Speaker 2>and just see what's going on beneath because my heart

0:21:30.520 --> 0:21:31.359
<v Speaker 2>and I'm thankful for it.

0:21:31.359 --> 0:21:35.680
<v Speaker 1>It's not my enemy, but it's not my instructor either.

0:21:38.320 --> 0:21:40.280
<v Speaker 2>Instead, I think we need to look at our heart

0:21:40.320 --> 0:21:46.760
<v Speaker 2>as an instrument, an instrument. And now I want to

0:21:46.760 --> 0:21:50.320
<v Speaker 2>move into my picture from David's life in from my life.

0:21:50.760 --> 0:21:54.960
<v Speaker 2>Just go ahead and bring out the guitar. I'm gonna

0:21:54.960 --> 0:21:58.119
<v Speaker 2>play it. You're gonna be nice to me when I do.

0:21:59.359 --> 0:22:04.080
<v Speaker 2>I'm not profefs, but I get by, all right. And

0:22:04.119 --> 0:22:06.359
<v Speaker 2>I sided to this illustration myself. I'm gonna do my

0:22:06.400 --> 0:22:11.200
<v Speaker 2>own stunts today, all right, because when I thought about it,

0:22:11.720 --> 0:22:15.160
<v Speaker 2>David is praising God, right And the first thing he said,

0:22:15.200 --> 0:22:19.199
<v Speaker 2>back to Psalone forty four, he said, God trains my

0:22:19.359 --> 0:22:24.919
<v Speaker 2>hands and my fingers for battle. So I'm imagining David

0:22:24.920 --> 0:22:28.840
<v Speaker 2>writing this probably later you know, he's talking about subduing people.

0:22:28.960 --> 0:22:31.919
<v Speaker 2>So he's currently a king, but he's remembering that he

0:22:32.040 --> 0:22:35.479
<v Speaker 2>wasn't always a king. And he's remembering that there was

0:22:35.560 --> 0:22:39.560
<v Speaker 2>this champion, philistine warrior who dared to defy the armies

0:22:39.560 --> 0:22:42.080
<v Speaker 2>of the living God. And he was bigger than David,

0:22:42.119 --> 0:22:44.760
<v Speaker 2>and greater than David, and more skilled in season than David,

0:22:44.760 --> 0:22:48.160
<v Speaker 2>and had greater weaponry and artillery than David. But when

0:22:48.200 --> 0:22:54.680
<v Speaker 2>God trains your fingers, even a slingshot with a smooth

0:22:54.760 --> 0:22:56.440
<v Speaker 2>stone will bring.

0:22:56.240 --> 0:23:01.359
<v Speaker 1>Down the biggest giant had at heart.

0:23:02.720 --> 0:23:06.159
<v Speaker 2>He wraps his fingers around that sling. I mean I

0:23:06.240 --> 0:23:08.440
<v Speaker 2>tried to take tennis lessons and it took him three

0:23:08.480 --> 0:23:11.520
<v Speaker 2>weeks just to get my gripped semi correct my grip

0:23:11.880 --> 0:23:14.399
<v Speaker 2>for a tennis racket. Imagine what it takes to be

0:23:14.440 --> 0:23:20.120
<v Speaker 2>a skilled slinger. David said, I trained to kill lions

0:23:20.160 --> 0:23:23.720
<v Speaker 2>and bears. I trained God showed me how to grip

0:23:23.760 --> 0:23:26.720
<v Speaker 2>it so that when I got in a fight, he

0:23:26.800 --> 0:23:30.680
<v Speaker 2>gave me the victory. But then the language changes. The

0:23:30.760 --> 0:23:38.320
<v Speaker 2>language changes from fighting to flowing. The language changes in

0:23:38.440 --> 0:23:41.760
<v Speaker 2>verse nine and David, after talking about how God is

0:23:41.800 --> 0:23:43.720
<v Speaker 2>fighting for you and I want you to remember this week,

0:23:43.720 --> 0:23:45.600
<v Speaker 2>God is fighting for you. Tell your neighbor, God is

0:23:45.600 --> 0:23:47.639
<v Speaker 2>fighting for you.

0:23:47.760 --> 0:23:48.119
<v Speaker 1>Tell him.

0:23:48.119 --> 0:23:51.439
<v Speaker 2>God is bigger than it. Tell him again. God is

0:23:51.440 --> 0:23:55.240
<v Speaker 2>bigger than it. God is bigger than that report. God

0:23:55.280 --> 0:23:57.440
<v Speaker 2>is bigger than that of session. God is bigger than

0:23:57.440 --> 0:23:59.760
<v Speaker 2>that thing. God is bigger than that night terror. And

0:24:00.600 --> 0:24:05.240
<v Speaker 2>he gives a strategy in verse nine that is connected.

0:24:05.480 --> 0:24:08.800
<v Speaker 2>But you just have to have ears to hear and

0:24:08.880 --> 0:24:12.399
<v Speaker 2>a heart to receive. He says, I will sing a

0:24:12.520 --> 0:24:18.520
<v Speaker 2>new song to you, my God. I will sing from

0:24:18.520 --> 0:24:23.000
<v Speaker 2>my heart. David was a praiser. Yes, he was a fighter,

0:24:23.760 --> 0:24:28.119
<v Speaker 2>but he was also a lover. He had heart. He

0:24:28.160 --> 0:24:32.560
<v Speaker 2>could take down an enemy, but he also understood intimacy.

0:24:32.800 --> 0:24:36.160
<v Speaker 2>That's why he said, I have trained fingers for war,

0:24:36.800 --> 0:24:41.320
<v Speaker 2>but the Lord is the love and the refuge of

0:24:41.359 --> 0:24:45.040
<v Speaker 2>my life. Because he had trained fingers that knew how

0:24:45.040 --> 0:24:47.719
<v Speaker 2>to grip a sling when he needed to fight a giant.

0:24:47.720 --> 0:24:50.640
<v Speaker 2>But watch this, he said, I will sing praise verse

0:24:50.720 --> 0:24:52.600
<v Speaker 2>nine to you God on the.

0:24:52.680 --> 0:24:56.080
<v Speaker 1>Ten stringed liar.

0:24:57.720 --> 0:25:03.080
<v Speaker 2>Earlier, when I said your heart is a liar, I

0:25:03.200 --> 0:25:07.520
<v Speaker 2>was setting you up for a double entendre.

0:25:09.480 --> 0:25:10.320
<v Speaker 1>To show you that.

0:25:11.400 --> 0:25:14.280
<v Speaker 2>David, here in the midst of a battle, You say,

0:25:14.280 --> 0:25:15.480
<v Speaker 2>how do you know he's in a battle?

0:25:15.480 --> 0:25:16.280
<v Speaker 1>Go to verse eleven.

0:25:16.520 --> 0:25:20.840
<v Speaker 2>He says, verse eleven, deliver me, rescue me from the

0:25:20.880 --> 0:25:22.800
<v Speaker 2>hands of foreigners whose mouths are.

0:25:22.680 --> 0:25:31.359
<v Speaker 1>Full of lies. Lies. He's fighting lies. Are you fighting lies?

0:25:32.520 --> 0:25:36.879
<v Speaker 2>The lies they told about you, the lies you told

0:25:37.160 --> 0:25:41.440
<v Speaker 2>about you, the lies they spoke over you that hath

0:25:41.600 --> 0:25:46.000
<v Speaker 2>grown into insecurities that followed you into your adult life.

0:25:46.920 --> 0:25:50.440
<v Speaker 2>Everybody under the sound of my voice is fighting a

0:25:50.560 --> 0:25:54.480
<v Speaker 2>lie that you're not enough, That God is but you're not.

0:25:54.720 --> 0:25:58.040
<v Speaker 2>But guess who made you. If he made your mouth,

0:25:58.119 --> 0:26:00.880
<v Speaker 2>he'll fill it. If he put you there, he'll brow

0:26:00.920 --> 0:26:07.280
<v Speaker 2>you there. Hallelujah. And I'm fighting these lots. So I

0:26:07.400 --> 0:26:13.880
<v Speaker 2>was surprised that David fought lies with the liar. Now

0:26:13.920 --> 0:26:18.040
<v Speaker 2>I've got two liars in the passage. One is an instrument.

0:26:18.640 --> 0:26:21.119
<v Speaker 1>A liar is just a harp. They were slightly different,

0:26:21.119 --> 0:26:22.280
<v Speaker 1>but they're used interchangeably.

0:26:22.359 --> 0:26:25.040
<v Speaker 2>The Hebrewscriptures gives three different types of instruments they would

0:26:25.040 --> 0:26:27.800
<v Speaker 2>go and worship within the temple. The percussion instruments like

0:26:27.840 --> 0:26:31.880
<v Speaker 2>the symbols and the.

0:26:30.960 --> 0:26:34.320
<v Speaker 1>Timbrels and the tambourines. The wind instruments the rams horn,

0:26:34.640 --> 0:26:37.160
<v Speaker 1>the trumpet, the flute. They used the flute more in Egypt.

0:26:37.160 --> 0:26:40.320
<v Speaker 2>That wouldn't really like the Israelites jam, but but they

0:26:40.640 --> 0:26:42.399
<v Speaker 2>put it. They put the flute in there sometimes just

0:26:42.440 --> 0:26:43.719
<v Speaker 2>every once in a while, over at eight oh eight,

0:26:43.720 --> 0:26:48.280
<v Speaker 2>when they were really wanting to party. And then the

0:26:48.440 --> 0:26:49.800
<v Speaker 2>watch us. This is what I want to talk about.

0:26:49.920 --> 0:26:52.720
<v Speaker 2>The stringed instrument. Did you see verse nine? He said,

0:26:52.720 --> 0:26:56.399
<v Speaker 2>I will praise you on the liar from my heart.

0:26:57.720 --> 0:27:03.800
<v Speaker 2>The ten stringed instrument, the ten string instrument, ten strings,

0:27:05.320 --> 0:27:09.320
<v Speaker 2>ten strings. I didn't want to bring a liar to church.

0:27:10.359 --> 0:27:12.680
<v Speaker 2>Felt inefficient to roll a harp out here, seeing us

0:27:13.119 --> 0:27:16.880
<v Speaker 2>I've never played one. Well, we got so many guitars

0:27:16.920 --> 0:27:21.480
<v Speaker 2>around this chearch that I thought we could use it

0:27:21.480 --> 0:27:27.520
<v Speaker 2>for an illustration. First of all, a few words about

0:27:27.520 --> 0:27:32.000
<v Speaker 2>this guitar. This is a Martin guitar, and that is

0:27:32.080 --> 0:27:34.880
<v Speaker 2>a good company to make guitars.

0:27:36.640 --> 0:27:37.760
<v Speaker 1>No, I'm saying, it's a nice guitar.

0:27:39.440 --> 0:27:45.600
<v Speaker 2>And one thing that all of these musicians who are

0:27:45.600 --> 0:27:49.680
<v Speaker 2>on this stage would tell you is that, first of all,

0:27:52.720 --> 0:27:59.000
<v Speaker 2>the instrument can never exceed the quality of the musician

0:27:59.720 --> 0:28:04.639
<v Speaker 2>who plays it. I could hand e a ten dollars guitar.

0:28:04.800 --> 0:28:06.399
<v Speaker 2>This one's not ten dollars. I don't know how much

0:28:06.400 --> 0:28:08.640
<v Speaker 2>it costs, but it's not ten dollars. The ten would

0:28:08.680 --> 0:28:10.639
<v Speaker 2>sound better with him than this one with me. And

0:28:10.680 --> 0:28:13.640
<v Speaker 2>I'm not being self deprecating. If he were preaching, I'm

0:28:13.640 --> 0:28:15.200
<v Speaker 2>a better preacher than him. He's just a better guitar

0:28:15.280 --> 0:28:21.040
<v Speaker 2>player than me. Okay, so whatever. But look, I'm gonna

0:28:21.040 --> 0:28:22.919
<v Speaker 2>sing you a hymn where I got the title of

0:28:22.960 --> 0:28:25.320
<v Speaker 2>this message, tune my heart from. And this hymn was

0:28:25.320 --> 0:28:28.800
<v Speaker 2>written in the seventeen hundreds. And if you know what

0:28:28.840 --> 0:28:30.359
<v Speaker 2>you can sing it. The words are on the screen.

0:28:33.560 --> 0:28:36.000
<v Speaker 2>Oh Lord, please don't let me forget the words come

0:28:36.160 --> 0:28:40.040
<v Speaker 2>the found, every.

0:28:39.280 --> 0:28:47.120
<v Speaker 3>Bless tune my heart to sing thy, pray grace, streams

0:28:47.160 --> 0:28:49.120
<v Speaker 3>of mercy.

0:28:49.360 --> 0:28:57.960
<v Speaker 6>Never sees, see call for It, songs of about his praise, teach.

0:28:57.760 --> 0:29:01.640
<v Speaker 4>Me song clias son.

0:29:02.880 --> 0:29:07.040
<v Speaker 3>Song by flameing tongues, up by.

0:29:11.080 --> 0:29:17.160
<v Speaker 1>Praise, amount fix up on amount.

0:29:16.880 --> 0:29:17.680
<v Speaker 3>Of fly.

0:29:19.080 --> 0:29:23.120
<v Speaker 1>Gaming love. So I got my title from that first line.

0:29:23.240 --> 0:29:25.080
<v Speaker 1>Listen to again, Calm thou.

0:29:25.200 --> 0:29:34.360
<v Speaker 6>Found of every bless tune my heart to sing thy.

0:29:34.960 --> 0:29:38.680
<v Speaker 2>It's amazing when you're in tune with the grace of God.

0:29:40.040 --> 0:29:43.480
<v Speaker 1>It's amazing when you're in tune with the voice of God.

0:29:44.960 --> 0:29:48.240
<v Speaker 2>When I'm in tune with you, Lord, I don't have

0:29:48.320 --> 0:29:52.320
<v Speaker 2>to fight so much when I'm in tune with you, Lord,

0:29:53.400 --> 0:29:56.800
<v Speaker 2>I don't have to manipulate so much when I'm in

0:29:56.800 --> 0:30:00.560
<v Speaker 2>tune with you, Lord, I don't have to defend myself.

0:30:00.600 --> 0:30:04.560
<v Speaker 2>You fight my battles when I'm in tune with you, Lord,

0:30:05.840 --> 0:30:08.480
<v Speaker 2>somebody say, Lord, I want to be.

0:30:08.480 --> 0:30:13.680
<v Speaker 1>In tune with you. When I'm in tune.

0:30:13.400 --> 0:30:18.080
<v Speaker 2>With you, Lord, my problems look small when I'm in

0:30:18.120 --> 0:30:18.720
<v Speaker 2>tune with you.

0:30:18.840 --> 0:30:19.160
<v Speaker 7>Lord.

0:30:20.120 --> 0:30:23.479
<v Speaker 2>It feels like all things are possible when I'm in

0:30:23.520 --> 0:30:24.120
<v Speaker 2>tune with you.

0:30:24.280 --> 0:30:28.360
<v Speaker 1>Lord. I can scale a wall when I'm in.

0:30:28.280 --> 0:30:32.240
<v Speaker 2>Tune with you, Lord, the giant looks like an opportunity,

0:30:32.280 --> 0:30:33.120
<v Speaker 2>not a problem.

0:30:33.280 --> 0:30:36.720
<v Speaker 1>When I'm in tune with you, Lord, I'm able to

0:30:36.840 --> 0:30:38.680
<v Speaker 1>laugh at what used to make me cry.

0:30:39.000 --> 0:30:41.800
<v Speaker 2>When I'm in tune with you, Lord, I'm able to

0:30:41.880 --> 0:30:45.040
<v Speaker 2>cry and know that tears don't last always, but joy

0:30:45.120 --> 0:30:47.720
<v Speaker 2>comes in the morning. When I'm in tune with you, Lord,

0:30:54.720 --> 0:30:56.360
<v Speaker 2>it's a beautiful thing to be in tune.

0:30:58.040 --> 0:30:58.680
<v Speaker 1>I think.

0:31:00.000 --> 0:31:05.520
<v Speaker 2>I wouldn't have to use our sling as much if

0:31:05.520 --> 0:31:11.440
<v Speaker 2>we used our strings a little more. If we would

0:31:11.560 --> 0:31:16.560
<v Speaker 2>learn to worship God in quiet and in private.

0:31:18.360 --> 0:31:21.720
<v Speaker 1>Some of the things that wear us out, he would

0:31:21.720 --> 0:31:26.080
<v Speaker 1>work out. I'm not saying this magic.

0:31:29.200 --> 0:31:33.680
<v Speaker 2>I'm just saying that you in tune with God is

0:31:33.720 --> 0:31:38.320
<v Speaker 2>a bad dude in a good way, a good man

0:31:39.200 --> 0:31:43.480
<v Speaker 2>with a good heart. She says, I'm that, and sometimes

0:31:43.520 --> 0:31:47.120
<v Speaker 2>I am. What happens to me from time to time.

0:31:47.160 --> 0:31:49.120
<v Speaker 2>And it happened to David too, So I don't feel

0:31:49.160 --> 0:31:53.240
<v Speaker 2>so bad. And it happens to you. Give me that camera,

0:31:53.720 --> 0:32:01.920
<v Speaker 2>it happens to you. Is that through daily life we

0:32:01.960 --> 0:32:04.480
<v Speaker 2>get distracted? Chris, come, I think we should do this together.

0:32:05.000 --> 0:32:06.360
<v Speaker 2>We talked about it and I told him I might

0:32:06.400 --> 0:32:09.960
<v Speaker 2>call him. Is that you get distracted?

0:32:10.040 --> 0:32:10.240
<v Speaker 1>Right?

0:32:11.480 --> 0:32:17.240
<v Speaker 2>You don't decide to just start following your own whims

0:32:17.560 --> 0:32:22.000
<v Speaker 2>and fall back into old temptations. At least most people don't. Instead,

0:32:22.000 --> 0:32:25.680
<v Speaker 2>it's more like a distraction. And we worked this out

0:32:25.720 --> 0:32:28.680
<v Speaker 2>ahead of time, and he's cool with it. He's going

0:32:28.720 --> 0:32:34.560
<v Speaker 2>to be the devil. He sang like an angel, but

0:32:34.640 --> 0:32:40.560
<v Speaker 2>he's a versatile worshiper just for illustration, just for illustration.

0:32:43.840 --> 0:32:52.040
<v Speaker 1>So I look away. I'm flowing, you know. Yeah, man, Damn,

0:32:52.080 --> 0:32:56.360
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna start the business. I'm gonna reasee these kids

0:32:56.440 --> 0:32:59.800
<v Speaker 1>to be. World changes right.

0:33:03.160 --> 0:33:13.200
<v Speaker 2>Like that, And then your second look away because you

0:33:13.200 --> 0:33:28.160
<v Speaker 2>thought you could set it, and and then you get

0:33:28.200 --> 0:33:32.960
<v Speaker 2>a text message, and then you have to walk into

0:33:33.040 --> 0:33:36.720
<v Speaker 2>a meeting and you go to say what you're supposed

0:33:36.720 --> 0:33:38.000
<v Speaker 2>to say and be who you're supposed to be, and

0:33:38.000 --> 0:33:39.480
<v Speaker 2>show up like you're supposed to show up.

0:33:39.360 --> 0:33:46.200
<v Speaker 1>And it's calmed down. Well, that don't sound.

0:33:48.000 --> 0:33:51.480
<v Speaker 2>Do a little more, Chris, because sometimes sometimes the devil

0:33:51.520 --> 0:33:52.080
<v Speaker 2>just tweaks you.

0:33:52.040 --> 0:33:53.840
<v Speaker 1>A little bit. But sometimes.

0:33:55.520 --> 0:33:58.120
<v Speaker 2>No, I know, I know, I know how it's really

0:33:58.160 --> 0:33:59.880
<v Speaker 2>been in your house with your teenagers.

0:33:59.880 --> 0:34:03.040
<v Speaker 1>All right, I'm about to prophesy.

0:34:02.800 --> 0:34:05.040
<v Speaker 2>Because because you go to step up to it and

0:34:05.080 --> 0:34:07.960
<v Speaker 2>it was good and it's now it's come down. Now,

0:34:11.239 --> 0:34:14.680
<v Speaker 2>Wait a minute, God, did you leave me?

0:34:16.920 --> 0:34:20.080
<v Speaker 1>Did you forsake me? I know what it is.

0:34:21.080 --> 0:34:25.960
<v Speaker 2>I need a new guitar, I need a new husband.

0:34:32.840 --> 0:34:45.680
<v Speaker 8>Maybe you do, but before you trash it, tune in,

0:34:48.680 --> 0:34:52.560
<v Speaker 8>tune in, tune in.

0:34:56.000 --> 0:34:59.359
<v Speaker 1>It happens to all of us every day.

0:35:00.040 --> 0:35:03.879
<v Speaker 2>If you think for one moment that you can get

0:35:04.000 --> 0:35:09.319
<v Speaker 2>saved one time, and your heart is permanently set on.

0:35:09.320 --> 0:35:11.200
<v Speaker 1>The affections for the things.

0:35:10.920 --> 0:35:14.359
<v Speaker 2>That matter to the heart of God, and that now

0:35:14.440 --> 0:35:17.879
<v Speaker 2>you will be selfless in every encounter and will always know.

0:35:17.960 --> 0:35:19.640
<v Speaker 1>The way that He leaves you to go in.

0:35:21.160 --> 0:35:25.480
<v Speaker 2>Watch these musicians the next time we worship. Because they

0:35:25.480 --> 0:35:29.920
<v Speaker 2>don't tune their guitars once a month. They don't tune

0:35:30.000 --> 0:35:33.800
<v Speaker 2>their guitars once a week. They don't even just tune

0:35:33.840 --> 0:35:38.880
<v Speaker 2>their guitars every Sunday before they play. They tune it

0:35:39.320 --> 0:35:46.320
<v Speaker 2>between every song. It means that every day that I'm alive,

0:35:47.000 --> 0:35:50.480
<v Speaker 2>and every breath that I breathe, and every transition that

0:35:50.560 --> 0:35:54.840
<v Speaker 2>I go into, there is a possibility that my heart

0:35:56.120 --> 0:35:57.120
<v Speaker 2>will go out of tune.

0:35:59.239 --> 0:36:02.919
<v Speaker 1>I'm done with you them, They b c d get

0:36:02.920 --> 0:36:03.640
<v Speaker 1>thee behind me.

0:36:04.560 --> 0:36:08.840
<v Speaker 2>Give it up for Chris, everybody, the greatest worship leader in.

0:36:08.960 --> 0:36:11.520
<v Speaker 1>The continental United States.

0:36:11.120 --> 0:36:20.040
<v Speaker 2>Of America, and the devil just for these five minutes,

0:36:21.160 --> 0:36:26.080
<v Speaker 2>because look, from the same heart come your greatest fears.

0:36:27.160 --> 0:36:30.719
<v Speaker 2>From the same heart comes your greatest faith. Which one

0:36:30.760 --> 0:36:38.720
<v Speaker 2>you move into depends on what you're tuned to. Why

0:36:39.480 --> 0:36:42.960
<v Speaker 2>this helped me so much was because I struggle with

0:36:43.000 --> 0:36:46.759
<v Speaker 2>a lot of condemnation at how much I change from

0:36:46.800 --> 0:36:49.200
<v Speaker 2>wanting to do God's will to not wanting to do

0:36:49.280 --> 0:36:52.920
<v Speaker 2>God's will. From feeling motivated to preach the message to

0:36:52.960 --> 0:36:53.799
<v Speaker 2>feeling like I just.

0:36:53.760 --> 0:36:56.200
<v Speaker 1>Want somebody to preach to me, from feeling.

0:36:55.960 --> 0:36:58.840
<v Speaker 2>Like I want to be more giving, to feeling like

0:36:58.880 --> 0:37:00.439
<v Speaker 2>nobody's taking care of me and.

0:37:00.360 --> 0:37:02.920
<v Speaker 1>Being very I can have very big pity parties.

0:37:04.360 --> 0:37:07.840
<v Speaker 2>When I realized that my heart is a liar, that

0:37:08.000 --> 0:37:15.520
<v Speaker 2>my heart is a harp, It's a stringed instrument. Then

0:37:15.560 --> 0:37:25.080
<v Speaker 2>I realize it has to be tuned to truth. Now,

0:37:27.520 --> 0:37:28.040
<v Speaker 2>I told you.

0:37:28.000 --> 0:37:31.080
<v Speaker 1>This illustration was going to help us, and that's really

0:37:31.120 --> 0:37:31.840
<v Speaker 1>why I'm doing it.

0:37:31.880 --> 0:37:34.480
<v Speaker 2>I'm not trying to just put an entertainment value on

0:37:34.520 --> 0:37:36.920
<v Speaker 2>the sermon. I don't care about that. There's way better,

0:37:37.000 --> 0:37:39.560
<v Speaker 2>more entertaining stuff you can watch. It's on your Hulu account.

0:37:40.800 --> 0:37:42.359
<v Speaker 2>But you came here to get help for your heart,

0:37:43.800 --> 0:37:48.040
<v Speaker 2>and I'm trying to show you that. It sounds like

0:37:48.120 --> 0:37:53.120
<v Speaker 2>that right now. But the guitar is good, the wood

0:37:53.200 --> 0:37:59.480
<v Speaker 2>is good. You've just been tuned to some stuff that

0:37:59.560 --> 0:38:07.640
<v Speaker 2>has been neath who you really are. How many are

0:38:07.719 --> 0:38:12.879
<v Speaker 2>glad that Jesus Christ does tune ups? Is that why

0:38:12.920 --> 0:38:14.160
<v Speaker 2>you came to church today?

0:38:14.920 --> 0:38:19.080
<v Speaker 1>Is that why you logged on today? Somebody holler tuned

0:38:19.120 --> 0:38:19.440
<v Speaker 1>me up?

0:38:19.520 --> 0:38:23.719
<v Speaker 2>Lord, tune me up, Lord, tune my heart to sing

0:38:23.840 --> 0:38:24.480
<v Speaker 2>by grades.

0:38:28.239 --> 0:38:29.760
<v Speaker 1>There's two ways to tune this guitar.

0:38:30.120 --> 0:38:33.640
<v Speaker 2>The guitar is in tune technically when the strings have

0:38:33.719 --> 0:38:37.400
<v Speaker 2>the appropriate tension through these pegs. That Chris so rudely

0:38:38.080 --> 0:38:42.200
<v Speaker 2>tuned down like the devil does with discouragement, disappointment, Bill's offenses,

0:38:42.480 --> 0:38:44.880
<v Speaker 2>all of these things. I could spend a whole hour

0:38:45.080 --> 0:38:48.239
<v Speaker 2>just going through all of the things that distract you

0:38:48.880 --> 0:38:52.840
<v Speaker 2>and detune you. If the enemy can detune your heart,

0:38:52.960 --> 0:38:56.719
<v Speaker 2>he can defeat you in your life, and you'll be

0:38:56.760 --> 0:39:01.560
<v Speaker 2>reaching for slings fighting when you need to be reaching

0:39:01.640 --> 0:39:03.840
<v Speaker 2>for strings tuning.

0:39:06.680 --> 0:39:08.600
<v Speaker 1>He trains my hands for war.

0:39:08.640 --> 0:39:13.480
<v Speaker 2>But David said, I've learned to tune my heart to truth,

0:39:14.680 --> 0:39:21.480
<v Speaker 2>not cultural truth. We have personalized the precepts, so we

0:39:21.560 --> 0:39:26.279
<v Speaker 2>say things like my truth, but I don't tune to

0:39:26.400 --> 0:39:32.280
<v Speaker 2>my truth because my heart is a liar. I cannot

0:39:32.360 --> 0:39:35.279
<v Speaker 2>just listen to my heart at all times. That would

0:39:35.360 --> 0:39:37.600
<v Speaker 2>cause me to want to quit. That would cause me

0:39:37.640 --> 0:39:39.640
<v Speaker 2>to want to give up. That would cause me to

0:39:39.719 --> 0:39:42.640
<v Speaker 2>lash out, That would cause me to sink, That would

0:39:42.719 --> 0:39:44.920
<v Speaker 2>cause me to go all the way down further into

0:39:44.920 --> 0:39:45.480
<v Speaker 2>the spiral.

0:39:45.719 --> 0:39:48.400
<v Speaker 1>That's fine to follow your heart, when your heart's going up.

0:39:50.160 --> 0:39:53.239
<v Speaker 1>But there are times in your life where you need

0:39:53.280 --> 0:39:53.560
<v Speaker 1>to be.

0:39:53.640 --> 0:39:57.080
<v Speaker 2>Tuned, and I want you to make sure in those

0:39:57.120 --> 0:40:02.440
<v Speaker 2>times that you are tuning to truth, not your subjective experience,

0:40:04.080 --> 0:40:06.279
<v Speaker 2>not even what your parents taught you.

0:40:06.360 --> 0:40:08.000
<v Speaker 1>If your parents taught it.

0:40:08.000 --> 0:40:11.440
<v Speaker 2>And God taught against it, your parents were wrong, not God.

0:40:14.960 --> 0:40:18.680
<v Speaker 2>What your parents taught you was tradition. What God wants

0:40:18.760 --> 0:40:23.480
<v Speaker 2>to tune you to is truth. Tune me to truth,

0:40:24.239 --> 0:40:27.799
<v Speaker 2>and that means God show me where I'm wrong and

0:40:27.840 --> 0:40:31.799
<v Speaker 2>blaming them. That means God show me where I think

0:40:31.840 --> 0:40:33.520
<v Speaker 2>I need to get more and I really need to

0:40:33.560 --> 0:40:37.320
<v Speaker 2>give more because I want to be tuned to truth.

0:40:38.360 --> 0:40:40.960
<v Speaker 2>Show me where I've been thinking I'm at a disadvantage

0:40:40.960 --> 0:40:45.359
<v Speaker 2>when really my slingshot is a secret weapon. I've been

0:40:45.400 --> 0:40:48.640
<v Speaker 2>saying I don't have the resources. But maybe God didn't

0:40:48.640 --> 0:40:52.120
<v Speaker 2>give you the resources so that he could source this one,

0:40:52.480 --> 0:40:55.320
<v Speaker 2>so he could get the glory for what he does

0:40:55.520 --> 0:41:02.040
<v Speaker 2>that you could never do. I feel annoyed to annoying

0:41:04.040 --> 0:41:07.560
<v Speaker 2>to tune my heart to truth. And there's a couple

0:41:07.560 --> 0:41:10.640
<v Speaker 2>of ways to tune the instruments. Because a stringed instrument

0:41:10.719 --> 0:41:13.960
<v Speaker 2>like you and me, we have heart strings, right A

0:41:14.040 --> 0:41:15.160
<v Speaker 2>stringed instrument.

0:41:15.520 --> 0:41:16.320
<v Speaker 1>Goes out of tune.

0:41:16.400 --> 0:41:18.840
<v Speaker 2>This guy came over to tune our piano and he

0:41:18.960 --> 0:41:22.520
<v Speaker 2>charged like three hundred dollars, And then he was back

0:41:22.560 --> 0:41:25.440
<v Speaker 2>a few months later and I was like, bro, do

0:41:25.480 --> 0:41:26.240
<v Speaker 2>I get a discount?

0:41:26.239 --> 0:41:29.960
<v Speaker 1>This is your second time trying this? He goes, no, Always,

0:41:30.080 --> 0:41:33.520
<v Speaker 1>I have to do it every time the weather changes, when.

0:41:33.280 --> 0:41:41.319
<v Speaker 2>The seasons change, the strings must be recalibrated. You're not

0:41:41.360 --> 0:41:45.400
<v Speaker 2>a kid anymore. The season is changing. How many of

0:41:45.440 --> 0:41:47.520
<v Speaker 2>you are going through a seasonal change in your life

0:41:47.600 --> 0:41:47.960
<v Speaker 2>right now?

0:41:48.120 --> 0:41:50.600
<v Speaker 1>Wave at me? How many of y'all feel like?

0:41:50.640 --> 0:41:54.239
<v Speaker 2>In Charlotte we go through three seasonal changes every every day.

0:41:54.400 --> 0:41:55.040
<v Speaker 1>Every week.

0:41:55.840 --> 0:41:58.120
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna have the piano tuner over at my house

0:41:58.160 --> 0:41:59.080
<v Speaker 2>three times a day.

0:41:59.120 --> 0:42:01.800
<v Speaker 1>If we keep this way, other fluctuation up, good Lord,

0:42:03.880 --> 0:42:04.080
<v Speaker 1>And it.

0:42:04.120 --> 0:42:05.799
<v Speaker 2>Can feel like that in your life because every time

0:42:05.840 --> 0:42:11.719
<v Speaker 2>the temperature changes, you've got to retune every time the

0:42:11.760 --> 0:42:16.400
<v Speaker 2>seasons change, so that you need to be asking the question, God,

0:42:17.560 --> 0:42:18.640
<v Speaker 2>who do you want me to be?

0:42:18.760 --> 0:42:22.879
<v Speaker 1>Now? Who are you calling to me to be? Now?

0:42:23.120 --> 0:42:25.400
<v Speaker 2>What childish things do I need to put aside? My

0:42:25.480 --> 0:42:29.920
<v Speaker 2>season is changing. Sometimes you are in a season of abundance,

0:42:29.960 --> 0:42:31.600
<v Speaker 2>but you keep thinking like scarcity.

0:42:31.600 --> 0:42:33.239
<v Speaker 1>You're out of tune.

0:42:34.360 --> 0:42:36.759
<v Speaker 2>Sometimes you are in a season of focus, but you're

0:42:36.800 --> 0:42:39.319
<v Speaker 2>thinking fore. Sometimes you're in a season of marriage, but

0:42:39.400 --> 0:42:44.240
<v Speaker 2>you're scheduling your life like you're single. Your season has changed.

0:42:46.400 --> 0:42:49.920
<v Speaker 2>You have to retune. And so when you need to retune,

0:42:49.920 --> 0:42:53.759
<v Speaker 2>you can do a few things. One you can buy

0:42:53.960 --> 0:42:54.520
<v Speaker 2>one of these.

0:42:54.560 --> 0:42:55.320
<v Speaker 1>This is a tuner.

0:42:56.680 --> 0:43:01.400
<v Speaker 2>This one's about twenty dollars, and you can tune, and

0:43:01.440 --> 0:43:02.040
<v Speaker 2>you can do that.

0:43:03.040 --> 0:43:05.000
<v Speaker 1>But I'm going to give you something from the Bible. Okay.

0:43:06.160 --> 0:43:08.080
<v Speaker 2>I feel like Garth Brooks with this microphone and this

0:43:08.120 --> 0:43:09.279
<v Speaker 2>acoustic guitar right now.

0:43:10.080 --> 0:43:10.960
<v Speaker 1>This is so weird.

0:43:11.480 --> 0:43:13.680
<v Speaker 2>I visualized it, but I told the Lord, I'll flow.

0:43:13.520 --> 0:43:14.239
<v Speaker 1>With it however you want.

0:43:14.280 --> 0:43:16.680
<v Speaker 2>I never saw myself standing here holding the guitar in

0:43:16.719 --> 0:43:19.319
<v Speaker 2>this moment behind the pulpit. This is very awkward, and

0:43:19.360 --> 0:43:22.640
<v Speaker 2>I love you. Okay, Okay, here it is give me

0:43:22.719 --> 0:43:25.279
<v Speaker 2>Verse ten. I wanted to check the verse. David said,

0:43:25.320 --> 0:43:28.920
<v Speaker 2>not only is it important what you tune, that you

0:43:28.960 --> 0:43:33.400
<v Speaker 2>see yourself as a stringed instrument that has to be

0:43:33.520 --> 0:43:38.520
<v Speaker 2>tuned regularly to the intervals of God's specific purpose and

0:43:38.560 --> 0:43:39.800
<v Speaker 2>designation of your life.

0:43:39.920 --> 0:43:42.239
<v Speaker 1>Not only do I have to be tuned when I

0:43:42.280 --> 0:43:42.839
<v Speaker 1>go into a.

0:43:42.800 --> 0:43:46.120
<v Speaker 2>New room, a new season, so that I don't carry

0:43:46.239 --> 0:43:51.160
<v Speaker 2>yesterday's man of mentality into today's promised land situation. Not

0:43:51.320 --> 0:43:53.279
<v Speaker 2>only do I need got to tune me when I

0:43:53.320 --> 0:43:55.920
<v Speaker 2>go into something new, but watch this, he said, I

0:43:55.960 --> 0:44:01.400
<v Speaker 2>will sing to the one everybody say to the one.

0:44:01.640 --> 0:44:07.200
<v Speaker 2>I will sing to the one who gives victory to kings. Now,

0:44:07.239 --> 0:44:10.239
<v Speaker 2>not only is David saying I will sing to the

0:44:10.239 --> 0:44:13.120
<v Speaker 2>one like if I gave you a dollar, I gave

0:44:13.160 --> 0:44:16.640
<v Speaker 2>a dollar to you, but he's saying I am going

0:44:16.719 --> 0:44:21.160
<v Speaker 2>to sing in tune with the one.

0:44:21.400 --> 0:44:21.960
<v Speaker 1>I'll show you.

0:44:23.120 --> 0:44:28.640
<v Speaker 2>LJ is playing a digital instrument. His keyboard does not

0:44:28.760 --> 0:44:33.759
<v Speaker 2>go out of tune. It can't. It's digital. It is

0:44:33.800 --> 0:44:38.240
<v Speaker 2>set and it will stay set. His keyboard is tuned,

0:44:38.280 --> 0:44:40.640
<v Speaker 2>and I know it's in tune right now.

0:44:40.760 --> 0:44:43.200
<v Speaker 1>So the fact that I'm out of tune.

0:44:42.960 --> 0:44:48.279
<v Speaker 2>On this stringed instrument the means that I need to

0:44:48.320 --> 0:44:54.840
<v Speaker 2>turn around to someone who is always in tune.

0:44:58.480 --> 0:45:02.320
<v Speaker 1>I might retire after this. Look.

0:45:03.320 --> 0:45:05.279
<v Speaker 2>I've been thinking how to get this across to you.

0:45:05.320 --> 0:45:07.759
<v Speaker 2>I've been thinking about it for months. Because you think

0:45:07.800 --> 0:45:11.360
<v Speaker 2>you're trash. You are about to break your martin you're

0:45:11.400 --> 0:45:13.040
<v Speaker 2>about to mess up your mind.

0:45:13.080 --> 0:45:17.279
<v Speaker 1>You're about to walk away from your opportunity. It's not trashed,

0:45:18.440 --> 0:45:23.400
<v Speaker 1>it's just not tuned. So if I turn.

0:45:24.719 --> 0:45:30.160
<v Speaker 2>To the one who is in tune and I say, hey, LJ,

0:45:31.400 --> 0:45:36.000
<v Speaker 2>give me an E and he plays an E and

0:45:36.040 --> 0:45:38.480
<v Speaker 2>I play what's supposed to be an e on my

0:45:38.920 --> 0:45:45.120
<v Speaker 2>liar and he's playing the truth and I'm playing the liar.

0:45:46.120 --> 0:45:49.759
<v Speaker 2>And he says, E sounds like this, and I say,

0:45:49.760 --> 0:45:55.560
<v Speaker 2>E sounds like And he's playing higher and I'm playing lower.

0:45:56.840 --> 0:46:01.200
<v Speaker 2>He's right, I'm wrong. He's not coming down to me.

0:46:07.440 --> 0:46:08.319
<v Speaker 2>I'm coming up to.

0:46:08.320 --> 0:46:15.600
<v Speaker 1>Him because I'm turning to the one. You get it.

0:46:16.760 --> 0:46:22.479
<v Speaker 2>You're not coming down to it. It's not coming down

0:46:22.520 --> 0:46:26.080
<v Speaker 2>to you. God's not going to lower his standard. God's

0:46:26.120 --> 0:46:28.799
<v Speaker 2>not going to decide you're just in bondage. And that's

0:46:28.840 --> 0:46:31.640
<v Speaker 2>just the way you were born. If the sun will

0:46:31.719 --> 0:46:34.439
<v Speaker 2>make you free, you will be free.

0:46:34.480 --> 0:46:34.960
<v Speaker 1>Indeed.

0:46:36.800 --> 0:46:42.040
<v Speaker 2>So if I'm down here and he's up there, I'm

0:46:42.080 --> 0:46:43.720
<v Speaker 2>not staying down here.

0:46:44.120 --> 0:46:45.800
<v Speaker 1>I'm coming up higher.

0:46:49.320 --> 0:46:55.000
<v Speaker 9>Who fine? Five three people say, get up here, Get

0:46:55.080 --> 0:46:57.959
<v Speaker 9>up here where the glory is, Get up here where

0:46:58.000 --> 0:47:01.239
<v Speaker 9>the praise is, Get up here where the blessing is

0:47:01.760 --> 0:47:04.799
<v Speaker 9>get up here where the abundance is, Get up here

0:47:04.800 --> 0:47:09.000
<v Speaker 9>where the wisdom is first of all peaceable and then pure.

0:47:09.400 --> 0:47:12.040
<v Speaker 9>It comes from God and it can't.

0:47:11.800 --> 0:47:17.560
<v Speaker 1>Run out not to lose my voice.

0:47:18.320 --> 0:47:25.680
<v Speaker 2>Whose voice are you tuning too? And I decided that

0:47:25.840 --> 0:47:28.400
<v Speaker 2>even if everybody else does it, I'm not tuning to

0:47:28.480 --> 0:47:30.520
<v Speaker 2>everybody else in this season of my life.

0:47:31.719 --> 0:47:35.719
<v Speaker 1>I'm not I'm not stupid.

0:47:35.840 --> 0:47:39.560
<v Speaker 2>Is still stupid even if you call it true. So

0:47:39.600 --> 0:47:42.160
<v Speaker 2>if the Lord shows me the way I'm acting as stupid,

0:47:42.400 --> 0:47:47.120
<v Speaker 2>I'm not stooping, just stupid and calling it truth.

0:47:48.360 --> 0:47:51.359
<v Speaker 1>I'm tuning up. I'm tuning up, you feel me.

0:47:52.160 --> 0:47:54.280
<v Speaker 2>That's why I gotta get my Bible out in the morning,

0:47:54.280 --> 0:47:58.880
<v Speaker 2>because I gotta tune out, because I woke up feeling defeated,

0:47:58.920 --> 0:48:00.960
<v Speaker 2>but my Bible said I'm more than a conqueror.

0:48:00.960 --> 0:48:02.440
<v Speaker 1>I gotta tune up.

0:48:03.440 --> 0:48:05.520
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, because I could come down to the level of

0:48:05.560 --> 0:48:07.800
<v Speaker 2>what I feel, or I could come up to the

0:48:07.880 --> 0:48:11.120
<v Speaker 2>level of what God says. And I hear two voices

0:48:11.160 --> 0:48:14.040
<v Speaker 2>speaking today, and one is trying to make me a

0:48:14.160 --> 0:48:16.960
<v Speaker 2>victim and one is trying to make me a victor.

0:48:17.280 --> 0:48:20.680
<v Speaker 1>And I want to know whose report do you believe,

0:48:21.400 --> 0:48:28.399
<v Speaker 1>we shall believe. His report says, I am heal.

0:48:29.000 --> 0:48:32.879
<v Speaker 9>His report says I am free.

0:48:33.760 --> 0:48:39.400
<v Speaker 2>His report says, victory, give me a BLJ. Yeah, I'm

0:48:39.400 --> 0:48:42.040
<v Speaker 2>gonna get this thing back in tune.

0:48:42.400 --> 0:48:45.640
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna get my life back in tune. You hear me.

0:48:45.760 --> 0:48:48.880
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna get my heart ungunked and unjunked and unloaded

0:48:48.880 --> 0:48:51.760
<v Speaker 2>and unblocked and unstopped because.

0:48:51.560 --> 0:48:53.080
<v Speaker 1>I believe God wants to use me.

0:48:53.840 --> 0:48:56.520
<v Speaker 2>I believe God wants to do more through me, and

0:48:56.600 --> 0:48:58.759
<v Speaker 2>I can't do it out of tune. The fount of

0:48:58.800 --> 0:49:02.360
<v Speaker 2>every blessing can't flow through me if I'm fixated on

0:49:02.400 --> 0:49:06.760
<v Speaker 2>what I think is true. Let God be true Romans

0:49:06.800 --> 0:49:10.520
<v Speaker 2>three four and every man a liar man.

0:49:10.560 --> 0:49:11.879
<v Speaker 1>One time, give me a g LJ.

0:49:13.920 --> 0:49:16.840
<v Speaker 2>One time I went on the comments you want to

0:49:16.880 --> 0:49:20.920
<v Speaker 2>get out of tune, go on a YouTube.

0:49:20.520 --> 0:49:30.680
<v Speaker 1>Comment my God about right there. It's ten years ago.

0:49:30.719 --> 0:49:32.040
<v Speaker 2>I was to remember this, how much someone can give

0:49:32.080 --> 0:49:34.400
<v Speaker 2>in your heart something not only a lie, like somebody

0:49:34.400 --> 0:49:36.879
<v Speaker 2>telling you that sexual immorality is no big deal.

0:49:36.880 --> 0:49:39.040
<v Speaker 1>Well that's a lie, but.

0:49:39.480 --> 0:49:43.080
<v Speaker 2>That's what my heart is leading me.

0:49:43.320 --> 0:49:50.799
<v Speaker 1>Your heart is liar. God's not bringing his standard down

0:49:51.920 --> 0:49:57.600
<v Speaker 1>to fit your situation. He called you up.

0:49:58.120 --> 0:50:01.960
<v Speaker 2>Now he doesn't hate you, he doesn't, but he's not

0:50:02.000 --> 0:50:04.120
<v Speaker 2>going to leave you in a dissonant state so you

0:50:04.160 --> 0:50:05.080
<v Speaker 2>miss your destiny.

0:50:05.400 --> 0:50:08.080
<v Speaker 1>He's going to bring you in tune.

0:50:08.880 --> 0:50:10.560
<v Speaker 2>The Lord loves you too much to let you spend

0:50:10.600 --> 0:50:12.279
<v Speaker 2>the rest of your life in harmony with Hell.

0:50:20.680 --> 0:50:22.720
<v Speaker 1>Speaking of Hell, the YouTube comments.

0:50:26.400 --> 0:50:28.360
<v Speaker 2>It was during the time in the church where I

0:50:28.400 --> 0:50:30.160
<v Speaker 2>used to sing more when we would finish the worship,

0:50:30.200 --> 0:50:31.640
<v Speaker 2>and I would come out and sing at him all

0:50:31.640 --> 0:50:36.360
<v Speaker 2>the time, all right, And the YouTube comment on the

0:50:36.400 --> 0:50:39.160
<v Speaker 2>sermons said, I remember it almost word for word, and

0:50:39.200 --> 0:50:41.080
<v Speaker 2>God forgive me for giving this person my attention like

0:50:41.160 --> 0:50:41.319
<v Speaker 2>I did.

0:50:41.360 --> 0:50:42.359
<v Speaker 1>But they said that.

0:50:42.320 --> 0:50:47.440
<v Speaker 2>Awkward moment when Stephen Ferdick starts singing the song and

0:50:47.520 --> 0:50:49.520
<v Speaker 2>everybody secretly, which is just shut up and let the

0:50:49.520 --> 0:50:55.880
<v Speaker 2>real singer sing. Not that I pay any attention to

0:50:55.920 --> 0:51:00.399
<v Speaker 2>that stuff whatever like that. You know that thing God

0:51:00.400 --> 0:51:12.080
<v Speaker 2>in my heart? I heard, Man, it got in my heart.

0:51:16.880 --> 0:51:19.480
<v Speaker 2>It could be anything. I'll go on sometimes and I'll say,

0:51:19.480 --> 0:51:21.239
<v Speaker 2>why is he wearing that T shirt? He wore a

0:51:21.440 --> 0:51:24.560
<v Speaker 2>two T shirt on the stage. It's not this is

0:51:24.600 --> 0:51:27.360
<v Speaker 2>not the this is not the gospel. Where's Jesus and

0:51:27.520 --> 0:51:31.360
<v Speaker 2>this Jesus is not a YouTube. It's not a stuff

0:51:31.400 --> 0:51:35.399
<v Speaker 2>can get in your heart if I let it. If

0:51:35.400 --> 0:51:39.040
<v Speaker 2>I let it that because I'm not a professionally trained singer,

0:51:39.120 --> 0:51:40.000
<v Speaker 2>keep me from singing.

0:51:41.760 --> 0:51:44.400
<v Speaker 1>What songs wouldn't I have written over the last ten years.

0:51:51.800 --> 0:51:53.920
<v Speaker 2>If I let everybody who said I didn't preach the

0:51:53.960 --> 0:51:57.440
<v Speaker 2>real gospel keep me from preaching the gospel?

0:51:59.239 --> 0:52:01.680
<v Speaker 1>How many people would we not baptized.

0:52:01.160 --> 0:52:10.200
<v Speaker 2>Next week at our eighteenth anniversary. I speak of me

0:52:10.640 --> 0:52:14.520
<v Speaker 2>to get to you. Are you tuning down to the trolls?

0:52:19.880 --> 0:52:23.560
<v Speaker 1>Not only the online ones? Man the Lord really set

0:52:23.600 --> 0:52:24.200
<v Speaker 1>me free from that.

0:52:24.239 --> 0:52:28.360
<v Speaker 2>He said, how are you gonna tune your life to

0:52:28.480 --> 0:52:29.160
<v Speaker 2>the trolls?

0:52:31.080 --> 0:52:33.520
<v Speaker 1>Your wife loves you and knows you're a man of God.

0:52:34.400 --> 0:52:36.600
<v Speaker 1>The people who need to know know you're a man

0:52:36.680 --> 0:52:40.240
<v Speaker 1>of God. And somebody likes to hear you sing.

0:52:40.960 --> 0:52:47.200
<v Speaker 10>Ah, hope you'll watch it because I'm still singing.

0:52:48.360 --> 0:52:50.400
<v Speaker 1>Well, I'm gonna keep on singing.

0:52:50.200 --> 0:52:55.600
<v Speaker 10>It as long as I'm got repping my line, because

0:52:55.680 --> 0:52:56.280
<v Speaker 10>I don't.

0:52:58.120 --> 0:53:12.799
<v Speaker 11>You say, Ah, get ready, get ready for what you're

0:53:12.880 --> 0:53:14.760
<v Speaker 11>gonna do when you get in tune.

0:53:15.360 --> 0:53:19.160
<v Speaker 9>God said, I brought you to church to tune you

0:53:19.400 --> 0:53:21.520
<v Speaker 9>sick to the Lord a new song.

0:53:24.920 --> 0:53:28.080
<v Speaker 1>High five. Somebody say, wait till you hear me in tune.

0:53:29.040 --> 0:53:31.400
<v Speaker 1>Wait till you hear me in tune.

0:53:31.600 --> 0:53:35.320
<v Speaker 5>Because when I get in tune, when I get in tune,

0:53:35.920 --> 0:53:38.279
<v Speaker 5>when I get in the stream of the current of

0:53:38.360 --> 0:53:44.080
<v Speaker 5>the mercy of God, has not seen and dear has

0:53:44.200 --> 0:53:44.960
<v Speaker 5>not herved.

0:53:45.640 --> 0:53:48.440
<v Speaker 1>God hasn't hitered into the.

0:53:48.360 --> 0:53:49.160
<v Speaker 10>Heart of a man.

0:53:50.200 --> 0:53:57.640
<v Speaker 1>My God has prepared, but God has revealed it by

0:53:57.760 --> 0:53:58.480
<v Speaker 1>his spirit.

0:54:00.680 --> 0:54:03.319
<v Speaker 2>And you say, well, pastor, this is great, but I

0:54:03.360 --> 0:54:07.560
<v Speaker 2>don't have LJ Yes you do. This name is Lord Jesus.

0:54:11.320 --> 0:54:12.440
<v Speaker 2>Now it's time to preach.

0:54:13.239 --> 0:54:16.360
<v Speaker 9>Since then you have been raised when Christ all in.

0:54:16.960 --> 0:54:19.560

<v Speaker 9>no red sea in front.

0:54:25.760 --> 0:54:30.319
<v Speaker 2>Of you that can stop God from doing what he destined.

0:54:30.120 --> 0:54:30.960

<v Speaker 11>Times and this lease, mama string instrument.

<v Speaker 11>Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm done tuning down to stupid.

0:55:28.239 --> 0:55:32.120
<v Speaker 7>I'm done turning down the trolls. I'm done tuning down

0:55:32.160 --> 0:55:41.160
<v Speaker 7>to tradition. I got LJ, and he's tuning you. He's

0:55:41.239 --> 0:55:44.040
<v Speaker 7>tuning you. Look at your neighbor and say he's tuning you.

0:55:45.640 --> 0:55:50.400
<v Speaker 2>And tuning feels like stay standing, stay standing.

0:55:50.760 --> 0:56:04.560
<v Speaker 1>It feels like tension. It feels like give me D. Yes. Lord.

0:56:05.200 --> 0:56:09.879
<v Speaker 1>If you say that's D, I say that's D. If

0:56:09.920 --> 0:56:14.440
<v Speaker 1>you say that's good, I say it's good. If you

0:56:14.600 --> 0:56:19.080
<v Speaker 1>say it is well, I say it is well. If

0:56:19.120 --> 0:56:24.640
<v Speaker 1>you say let it go, I let it go. Give

0:56:24.680 --> 0:56:25.000
<v Speaker 1>me an a.

0:56:27.520 --> 0:56:29.600
<v Speaker 2>If you say I'm going to survive and this will

0:56:29.600 --> 0:56:31.040
<v Speaker 2>make me stronger, I will survive.

0:56:31.080 --> 0:56:40.440
<v Speaker 1>It will make me stronger. Give me E and now.

0:56:41.920 --> 0:56:44.080
<v Speaker 2>A guitar that I thought needed to be thrown away

0:56:47.719 --> 0:56:51.560
<v Speaker 2>because I got with l J. And saying to the

0:56:51.560 --> 0:56:55.600
<v Speaker 2>one who is in tune, I see you getting with

0:56:55.719 --> 0:56:59.440
<v Speaker 2>Jesus this way.

0:56:58.960 --> 0:57:00.960
<v Speaker 1>The Lord Jesus who above all.

0:57:02.640 --> 0:57:08.960
<v Speaker 2>Away from the lives, quieting your own heart, allowing his

0:57:09.040 --> 0:57:13.360
<v Speaker 2>heart to come through. David was a good man with

0:57:13.480 --> 0:57:18.040
<v Speaker 2>a good heart. But even the best heart gets out

0:57:18.120 --> 0:57:24.880
<v Speaker 2>it too. You did what you did, but that doesn't

0:57:24.920 --> 0:57:25.959
<v Speaker 2>reflect who you are.

0:57:26.280 --> 0:57:26.920
<v Speaker 1>You are.

0:57:28.880 --> 0:57:34.120
<v Speaker 2>An instrument, and I want you to get with him

0:57:34.120 --> 0:57:39.720
<v Speaker 2>this week and get in harmony with his will, and

0:57:39.800 --> 0:57:43.880
<v Speaker 2>let him show you some things again, and invite.

0:57:43.560 --> 0:57:51.200
<v Speaker 1>Him to take your hand off the sling.

0:57:52.480 --> 0:57:56.960
<v Speaker 2>And stop trying to fight in your own strength, and

0:57:57.040 --> 0:58:01.040
<v Speaker 2>let him put his hands on the strained instrument of

0:58:01.080 --> 0:58:04.080
