Speaker 2: I'm starting my series, Do the New You.
Speaker 1: I'm releasing a book. I'm starting a series that's the
Speaker 1: week after so much good stuff.
Speaker 2: Holly's been locked away in the studio making small group curriculum.
Speaker 2: We've just been going at it this year. We've been
Speaker 2: writing songs. I think we wrote eight songs last week.
Speaker 2: And the Lord is about to pour out a gully washing.
Speaker 2: Do you know the word gully washing? A gully washing
Speaker 2: torrent of his grace and mercy upon our church in
Speaker 2: this next year.
Speaker 1: And I'm excited you're here for it. You say, well,
Speaker 1: I'm not even a member. You don't have to be.
Speaker 2: This is one of those overflowing blessings. If you just
Speaker 2: get close enough to the boat, it'll splash on you.
Speaker 2: I'm telling you, man, God's got something incredible all right. Today,
Speaker 2: I want to share with you a message that I've
Speaker 2: been trying to figure out how to present since this summer.
Speaker 2: So I'm excited. Just give you a picture, and I
Speaker 2: know it's going to help you. Turning your Bible to
Speaker 2: Psalm Chapter one Psalm one four. Been waiting on the
Speaker 2: right time to preach this one. The Lord showed me
Speaker 2: how to do it, and I pray you will help me.
Speaker 2: You pray for me too, because if he helps me,
Speaker 2: it helps you. So pray for me that I would
Speaker 2: say what he wants me to say, nothing more, nothing less.
Speaker 1: So one forty four. Are you ready? I take that
Speaker 1: as a no. Are you ready?
Speaker 2: Praise me to the Lord, my Rock, who trains my
Speaker 2: hands for war, my fingers for battle. He is my
Speaker 2: loving God, and my fortress, my stronghold, and my deliverer,
Speaker 2: my shield, in whom I take refuge, who subdues peoples
Speaker 2: under me.
Speaker 1: Drop down to verse nine. Please, I will sing a
Speaker 1: new song to you, my God.
Speaker 2: On the ten string, liar, I will make music to you,
Speaker 2: to the world. One who gives victory the kings, who
Speaker 2: delivers his servant David now say your name this time,
Speaker 2: who delivers his servant. Yeah, he's going to deliver you.
Speaker 2: He's going to deliver you. He's going to deliver you
Speaker 2: from the deadly sword. Deliver me, rescue me from the
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
Speaker 2: look at Colossians Chapter three, verse one. Just one verse
Speaker 2: from Colossians the third chapter, the first verse. You ready,
Speaker 2: since then you have been raised with Christ, set your
Speaker 2: hearts on things above where Christ is seated at the
Speaker 2: right hand of God. I want to teach you today
Speaker 2: how to tune your heart to truth, How to tune
Speaker 2: your heart to truth, so you can get some peace,
Speaker 2: so you can get some joy, so you can get
Speaker 2: some energy, so you can.
Speaker 1: Get some direction. Father.
Speaker 2: Now I stand ready to be used by you. Blow
Speaker 2: through me like I'm a trumpet, and use me how
Speaker 2: you want to.
Speaker 1: In Jesus name, Amen, you may be seated.
Speaker 2: The fun thing about marriage, well, there's a lot of
Speaker 2: fun things about marriage. One fun thing is putting little
Speaker 2: nicknames in your phone for your spouse's contact And how
Speaker 2: many of you have a name for your spouse significant
Speaker 2: other in your phone. That is not their legal name.
Speaker 2: It's not their social Security number. I've changed the name
Speaker 2: I have for Holly about once every year. The one
Speaker 2: I have now is just two emojis. I've got the
Speaker 2: heart emoji and the queen emoji because she's the queen
Speaker 2: of my heart. And of course it's an orange heart
Speaker 2: for Daba and for Clemson.
Speaker 1: And it's funny.
Speaker 2: One day I had it hooked up to the car
Speaker 2: where it reads the text to you when they come through,
Speaker 2: and it was reading it out loud and it said
Speaker 2: text from Orange Heart Light Skin Princess.
Speaker 1: So that's what I call her around the house when we're.
Speaker 2: Not here on Sunday, come over here, orange Heart Light
Speaker 2: Skin Princess. Well, she put the name in her phone
Speaker 2: for me, and again we'll change them. We'll get a
Speaker 2: little new inside joke and we'll change it from time
Speaker 2: to time. If you don't have a different name for
Speaker 2: your spouse in your phone than their name, you need
Speaker 2: to be more intimate. Yet it's a predictor of how
Speaker 2: long the marry just gonna last if you have a
Speaker 2: playful name in your phone. I'm sure a study says
Speaker 2: that somewhere eighty seven percent of studies are made up
Speaker 2: on the spot.
Speaker 1: All right.
Speaker 2: So she put a name in her phone for me,
Speaker 2: and I just thought about this this morning when I
Speaker 2: was thinking how I want to introduce this topic to you.
Speaker 2: And we got it from a John Mayer song and
Speaker 2: it said a good man with a good heart. There's
Speaker 2: song that we really liked that John Mayer saying he said, I'm.
Speaker 1: A good man with a good heart. I'm not going
Speaker 1: to sing anymore.
Speaker 2: So I don't get you tube copyright straight on that
Speaker 2: from John Maher, But that would say that in her
Speaker 2: phone when I would call a good man with a
Speaker 2: good heart.
Speaker 1: So of course it makes you wonder, am I am? I?
Speaker 2: Are you.
Speaker 1: A good man with a good heart. We're going to
Speaker 1: talk about that for a moment.
Speaker 2: We're going to talk about a good heart, because honestly,
Speaker 2: I am surprised how quickly my heart can switch from
Speaker 2: the best intention to the worst decision. Y'all aren't going
Speaker 2: to help me preach a bit today. I had to
Speaker 2: take discermon to Boston in a couple of weeks. This
Speaker 2: is so difficult in the South to preach anyway, isn't it?
Speaker 1: Like?
Speaker 2: Because we say bless your heart what we mean is
Speaker 2: you are an idiot. Oh bless your heart so that
Speaker 2: even that it's difficult, Do I have a good heart? Well,
Speaker 2: my heart this week wanted so many different things. There
Speaker 2: were times this week, well my heart wanted to stay
Speaker 2: in bed, pull up the covers, and pretend like y'all
Speaker 2: weren't coming to hear a word from God this week
Speaker 2: because I didn't know how.
Speaker 1: To say it. That happens every week.
Speaker 2: Another part of my heart wanted to get in here
Speaker 2: and find whatever chain you've been bound by and take
Speaker 2: the hammer of the word of God and see if
Speaker 2: the Lord might break you loose for his glory so
Speaker 2: you can get on with doing what you're supposed to
Speaker 2: do this year, same heart. One part of my heart
Speaker 2: this week wanted to be a tentist, a good listener.
Speaker 2: One part of my heart want to be like, would
Speaker 2: you shut up.
Speaker 1: And let me talk because you don't know what you're
Speaker 1: talking about?
Speaker 2: And it was in the same conversation, and it wasn't
Speaker 2: with anybody in this room.
Speaker 1: From the same heart, from the same heart.
Speaker 2: We are thankful in these moments for biblical examples like David,
Speaker 2: aren't we who from the same heart said Bless the Lord,
Speaker 2: oh my soul, and all that is within me.
Speaker 1: Bless this holy name.
Speaker 2: And from the same heart said, go get that woman, Bathsheba,
Speaker 2: who is not my wife.
Speaker 1: Bring her to me.
Speaker 2: I want to be intimate with her more than I
Speaker 2: want to be obedient to God. From the same heart
Speaker 2: that devised such beautiful language and poetry came so many problems.
Speaker 2: David had great praise in his heart. David had great
Speaker 2: problems in his life. One scripture writer said he had
Speaker 2: ninety nine problems, and Bathsheba was one.
Speaker 1: Now, before we.
Speaker 2: Move deeper in this textual conversation about your heart, I
Speaker 2: know it switches sometimes where you feel really grateful and
Speaker 2: then you get really petty.
Speaker 1: Wrong side of the room, fake side, real.
Speaker 2: Side, pettiness and praise same heart. Always point this out
Speaker 2: when I preach about David, lest we forget that we
Speaker 2: are learning from someone in the scripture whose life was
Speaker 2: not always perfect.
Speaker 1: Now, in our culture, we.
Speaker 2: Will see a very different definition and relationship to what's
Speaker 2: called the heart. And I'm going to define it in
Speaker 2: just a moment, but I'm not talking about the organ.
Speaker 2: We see a very different definition than we see scriptually
Speaker 2: in our culture today. In our culture today, the heart.
Speaker 1: Is a master to be obeyed.
Speaker 2: Therefore we give advice like, okay, follow your heart.
Speaker 1: In the scripture, it's a little different.
Speaker 2: In the scripture, the heart does not seem to be
Speaker 2: a master to be obeyed. Heart representing the center of
Speaker 2: your internal life. You're like, what are you talking about
Speaker 2: my heart? I mean that can mean a lot of
Speaker 2: different things. You're talking about my ability to love. You're
Speaker 2: talking about my excitement, or you talking about my passion,
Speaker 2: or you talk about my conscience. Yes, all of those
Speaker 2: things are embodied in the Hebrew idea of the heart.
Speaker 2: It is the center of your internal world, and in
Speaker 2: the Scripture, the heart is capable of incredible generosity. One
Speaker 2: man said to his fellow comrade, do all that is
Speaker 2: in your mind. I am with you. Heart and soul.
Speaker 2: From the heart flow the issues of life. So one
Speaker 2: scripture writer said, guard your heart. That's really different, isn't it?
Speaker 1: Then? Follow your heart. Follow your heart means my heart
Speaker 1: is leading me.
Speaker 2: And the only problem that I have with my heart
Speaker 2: leading me is that is a limited resource. Because sometimes
Speaker 2: I feel like following Jesus, sometimes I don't. Sometimes I
Speaker 2: feel like forgiving, sometimes I don't sometimes I feel like
Speaker 2: turning the other cheek, and sometimes I feel like kicking.
Speaker 1: My heart needs to be guarded.
Speaker 2: So let's go back to Colossians three for a moment,
Speaker 2: and then I'll bring you to David, and then I
Speaker 2: want to show you this in.
Speaker 1: A visual form.
Speaker 2: In Colossians, the apostle Paul says, since then you have
Speaker 2: been raised with Christ. Question class past tense or present tense.
Speaker 2: You have been raised with Christ past tense or presentents.
Speaker 1: Since that happened, raised with Christ.
Speaker 2: Set your hearts on things above past tense or present tense.
Speaker 1: Okay, I'm pointing this.
Speaker 2: Out to you not because I think you need a
Speaker 2: grammar lesson, but because I want you to understand your
Speaker 2: soul can be saved and your heart still has to
Speaker 2: be set.
Speaker 1: The language here is active, not passive.
Speaker 2: Therefore, since you have been raised with Christ, fall your heart.
Speaker 2: The heart wants what it wants, give it what it wants.
Speaker 2: You don't do that with a two year old. The
Speaker 2: two year old would have their tongue in a light sucket,
Speaker 2: and you watch the two year old because you love
Speaker 2: the two year old. The two year old is not
Speaker 2: your enemy. Neither is your heart your emotions are not
Speaker 2: your enemy.
Speaker 1: Neither is your two year old.
Speaker 2: But the point that I'm trying to make here is
Speaker 2: that your heart while not an enemy to be defeated,
Speaker 2: because God gave you that heart, and He will speak
Speaker 2: to you through that heart, and he will move in
Speaker 2: your heart. And sometimes people will say, well, Fredick's just
Speaker 2: an emotionalist. He's just an emotional preacher. What do you
Speaker 2: want me to be? Do you want me to be
Speaker 2: an ambient preacher and put you to sleep and stand
Speaker 2: up here.
Speaker 1: And drone on and on and not move you God?
Speaker 2: When God found David, he said, I found a man
Speaker 2: after my own heart. God is after your heart. God
Speaker 2: wants you to feel for him. God wants you to
Speaker 2: praise him with enthusiasm for your future.
Speaker 1: And with an excitement about who he is.
Speaker 2: Quiet Christians, take note, You've got something to shout about
Speaker 2: if you want to. And yet the word set drew
Speaker 2: my attention because the idea that I have been raised
Speaker 2: with Christ, Jesus did that for me.
Speaker 1: Come on, Jesus did that for you. He died for you.
Speaker 1: Jesus gave you a new heart.
Speaker 2: The scripture speaks about a stony heart and a heart
Speaker 2: of flesh. One is the old covenant keeping the commandments,
Speaker 2: and one is the new covenant, established and ratified by
Speaker 2: the blood of our very own Savior, whereby He makes
Speaker 2: you new on the inside.
Speaker 1: And yet this new heart that I have still has
Speaker 1: to be set.
Speaker 2: Because it is not like the infomercial used to say,
Speaker 2: set it and forget it.
Speaker 1: I promise you if you take that.
Speaker 2: Approach to your own spiritual life and your attitude and
Speaker 2: your mindset, I don't care how much blood of Jesus
Speaker 2: covers you. If you don't take responsibility for setting your heart.
Speaker 2: That is a decision, not a default. And if you
Speaker 2: don't do it, the devil will if you don't do it,
Speaker 2: Disappointment will if you don't do it, stress will. The
Speaker 2: heart is not an enemy to be hated. You can
Speaker 2: enjoy the emotions God gave you, and that's wonderful. The
Speaker 2: heart is not either a leader to be followed. I'll
Speaker 2: tell you why. The heart is not a leader to
Speaker 2: be followed because and I want you to say this
Speaker 2: to your neighbor because it's gonna sound mean, and I
Speaker 2: want you to be in on it with me, so
Speaker 2: we all get in trouble together. Look at your neighbor
Speaker 2: and say your heart is a liar.
Speaker 1: It's not a whole conversation. That's all you're supposed to say.
Speaker 1: You don't need any time for any response. All right,
Speaker 1: no rebuttal.
Speaker 2: We would take our questions at the end of the class. Okay,
Speaker 2: look at your other neighbors so they don't think you're
Speaker 2: picking on them.
Speaker 1: Say your heart is a liar.
Speaker 2: I don't appreciate this. I came to be uplifted and
Speaker 2: I'm encouraged by the word of God.
Speaker 1: All right, since you want to talk about the word
Speaker 1: of God.
Speaker 2: Jeremiah seventeen nine, The heart is.
Speaker 1: Deceitful.
Speaker 2: Now you understand why I can't let my heart be
Speaker 2: my leader because I found out my heart is a liar,
Speaker 2: and I think we got enough liars for leaders without
Speaker 2: electing our own point of view, to call the shots,
Speaker 2: without electing how I feel at three pm, to call.
Speaker 1: The shots without.
Speaker 2: Waiting to see if I'm in the mood that I
Speaker 2: need to be in to do the thing that I
Speaker 2: said I would do last week. My heart can't be
Speaker 2: my leader because my heart is a liar. Don't get
Speaker 2: me wrong, my heart is also an incredible asset to
Speaker 2: show me in moments.
Speaker 1: This is what God cares about.
Speaker 2: You know. We say my heart goes out to you.
Speaker 2: It means this is one of the ways that I
Speaker 2: feel guided to help people. And so that's how I
Speaker 2: know to give that waitress a fifty dollars tip because.
Speaker 1: Something in my heart.
Speaker 2: That's how I know to, you know, overlook the offense
Speaker 2: and just see what's going on beneath because my heart
Speaker 2: and I'm thankful for it.
Speaker 1: It's not my enemy, but it's not my instructor either.
Speaker 2: Instead, I think we need to look at our heart
Speaker 2: as an instrument, an instrument. And now I want to
Speaker 2: move into my picture from David's life in from my life.
Speaker 2: Just go ahead and bring out the guitar. I'm gonna
Speaker 2: play it. You're gonna be nice to me when I do.
Speaker 2: I'm not profefs, but I get by, all right. And
Speaker 2: I sided to this illustration myself. I'm gonna do my
Speaker 2: own stunts today, all right, because when I thought about it,
Speaker 2: David is praising God, right And the first thing he said,
Speaker 2: back to Psalone forty four, he said, God trains my
Speaker 2: hands and my fingers for battle. So I'm imagining David
Speaker 2: writing this probably later you know, he's talking about subduing people.
Speaker 2: So he's currently a king, but he's remembering that he
Speaker 2: wasn't always a king. And he's remembering that there was
Speaker 2: this champion, philistine warrior who dared to defy the armies
Speaker 2: of the living God. And he was bigger than David,
Speaker 2: and greater than David, and more skilled in season than David,
Speaker 2: and had greater weaponry and artillery than David. But when
Speaker 2: God trains your fingers, even a slingshot with a smooth
Speaker 2: stone will bring.
Speaker 1: Down the biggest giant had at heart.
Speaker 2: He wraps his fingers around that sling. I mean I
Speaker 2: tried to take tennis lessons and it took him three
Speaker 2: weeks just to get my gripped semi correct my grip
Speaker 2: for a tennis racket. Imagine what it takes to be
Speaker 2: a skilled slinger. David said, I trained to kill lions
Speaker 2: and bears. I trained God showed me how to grip
Speaker 2: it so that when I got in a fight, he
Speaker 2: gave me the victory. But then the language changes. The
Speaker 2: language changes from fighting to flowing. The language changes in
Speaker 2: verse nine and David, after talking about how God is
Speaker 2: fighting for you and I want you to remember this week,
Speaker 2: God is fighting for you. Tell your neighbor, God is
Speaker 2: fighting for you.
Speaker 1: Tell him.
Speaker 2: God is bigger than it. Tell him again. God is
Speaker 2: bigger than it. God is bigger than that report. God
Speaker 2: is bigger than that of session. God is bigger than
Speaker 2: that thing. God is bigger than that night terror. And
Speaker 2: he gives a strategy in verse nine that is connected.
Speaker 2: But you just have to have ears to hear and
Speaker 2: a heart to receive. He says, I will sing a
Speaker 2: new song to you, my God. I will sing from
Speaker 2: my heart. David was a praiser. Yes, he was a fighter,
Speaker 2: but he was also a lover. He had heart. He
Speaker 2: could take down an enemy, but he also understood intimacy.
Speaker 2: That's why he said, I have trained fingers for war,
Speaker 2: but the Lord is the love and the refuge of
Speaker 2: my life. Because he had trained fingers that knew how
Speaker 2: to grip a sling when he needed to fight a giant.
Speaker 2: But watch this, he said, I will sing praise verse
Speaker 2: nine to you God on the.
Speaker 1: Ten stringed liar.
Speaker 2: Earlier, when I said your heart is a liar, I
Speaker 2: was setting you up for a double entendre.
Speaker 1: To show you that.
Speaker 2: David, here in the midst of a battle, You say,
Speaker 2: how do you know he's in a battle?
Speaker 1: Go to verse eleven.
Speaker 2: He says, verse eleven, deliver me, rescue me from the
Speaker 2: hands of foreigners whose mouths are.
Speaker 1: Full of lies. Lies. He's fighting lies. Are you fighting lies?
Speaker 2: The lies they told about you, the lies you told
Speaker 2: about you, the lies they spoke over you that hath
Speaker 2: grown into insecurities that followed you into your adult life.
Speaker 2: Everybody under the sound of my voice is fighting a
Speaker 2: lie that you're not enough, That God is but you're not.
Speaker 2: But guess who made you. If he made your mouth,
Speaker 2: he'll fill it. If he put you there, he'll brow
Speaker 2: you there. Hallelujah. And I'm fighting these lots. So I
Speaker 2: was surprised that David fought lies with the liar. Now
Speaker 2: I've got two liars in the passage. One is an instrument.
Speaker 1: A liar is just a harp. They were slightly different,
Speaker 1: but they're used interchangeably.
Speaker 2: The Hebrewscriptures gives three different types of instruments they would
Speaker 2: go and worship within the temple. The percussion instruments like
Speaker 2: the symbols and the.
Speaker 1: Timbrels and the tambourines. The wind instruments the rams horn,
Speaker 1: the trumpet, the flute. They used the flute more in Egypt.
Speaker 2: That wouldn't really like the Israelites jam, but but they
Speaker 2: put it. They put the flute in there sometimes just
Speaker 2: every once in a while, over at eight oh eight,
Speaker 2: when they were really wanting to party. And then the
Speaker 2: watch us. This is what I want to talk about.
Speaker 2: The stringed instrument. Did you see verse nine? He said,
Speaker 2: I will praise you on the liar from my heart.
Speaker 2: The ten stringed instrument, the ten string instrument, ten strings,
Speaker 2: ten strings. I didn't want to bring a liar to church.
Speaker 2: Felt inefficient to roll a harp out here, seeing us
Speaker 2: I've never played one. Well, we got so many guitars
Speaker 2: around this chearch that I thought we could use it
Speaker 2: for an illustration. First of all, a few words about
Speaker 2: this guitar. This is a Martin guitar, and that is
Speaker 2: a good company to make guitars.
Speaker 1: No, I'm saying, it's a nice guitar.
Speaker 2: And one thing that all of these musicians who are
Speaker 2: on this stage would tell you is that, first of all,
Speaker 2: the instrument can never exceed the quality of the musician
Speaker 2: who plays it. I could hand e a ten dollars guitar.
Speaker 2: This one's not ten dollars. I don't know how much
Speaker 2: it costs, but it's not ten dollars. The ten would
Speaker 2: sound better with him than this one with me. And
Speaker 2: I'm not being self deprecating. If he were preaching, I'm
Speaker 2: a better preacher than him. He's just a better guitar
Speaker 2: player than me. Okay, so whatever. But look, I'm gonna
Speaker 2: sing you a hymn where I got the title of
Speaker 2: this message, tune my heart from. And this hymn was
Speaker 2: written in the seventeen hundreds. And if you know what
Speaker 2: you can sing it. The words are on the screen.
Speaker 2: Oh Lord, please don't let me forget the words come
Speaker 2: the found, every.
Speaker 3: Bless tune my heart to sing thy, pray grace, streams
Speaker 3: of mercy.
Speaker 6: Never sees, see call for It, songs of about his praise, teach.
Speaker 4: Me song clias son.
Speaker 3: Song by flameing tongues, up by.
Speaker 1: Praise, amount fix up on amount.
Speaker 3: Of fly.
Speaker 1: Gaming love. So I got my title from that first line.
Speaker 1: Listen to again, Calm thou.
Speaker 6: Found of every bless tune my heart to sing thy.
Speaker 2: It's amazing when you're in tune with the grace of God.
Speaker 1: It's amazing when you're in tune with the voice of God.
Speaker 2: When I'm in tune with you, Lord, I don't have
Speaker 2: to fight so much when I'm in tune with you, Lord,
Speaker 2: I don't have to manipulate so much when I'm in
Speaker 2: tune with you, Lord, I don't have to defend myself.
Speaker 2: You fight my battles when I'm in tune with you, Lord,
Speaker 2: somebody say, Lord, I want to be.
Speaker 1: In tune with you. When I'm in tune.
Speaker 2: With you, Lord, my problems look small when I'm in
Speaker 2: tune with you.
Speaker 7: Lord.
Speaker 2: It feels like all things are possible when I'm in
Speaker 2: tune with you.
Speaker 1: Lord. I can scale a wall when I'm in.
Speaker 2: Tune with you, Lord, the giant looks like an opportunity,
Speaker 2: not a problem.
Speaker 1: When I'm in tune with you, Lord, I'm able to
Speaker 1: laugh at what used to make me cry.
Speaker 2: When I'm in tune with you, Lord, I'm able to
Speaker 2: cry and know that tears don't last always, but joy
Speaker 2: comes in the morning. When I'm in tune with you, Lord,
Speaker 2: it's a beautiful thing to be in tune.
Speaker 1: I think.
Speaker 2: I wouldn't have to use our sling as much if
Speaker 2: we used our strings a little more. If we would
Speaker 2: learn to worship God in quiet and in private.
Speaker 1: Some of the things that wear us out, he would
Speaker 1: work out. I'm not saying this magic.
Speaker 2: I'm just saying that you in tune with God is
Speaker 2: a bad dude in a good way, a good man
Speaker 2: with a good heart. She says, I'm that, and sometimes
Speaker 2: I am. What happens to me from time to time.
Speaker 2: And it happened to David too, So I don't feel
Speaker 2: so bad. And it happens to you. Give me that camera,
Speaker 2: it happens to you. Is that through daily life we
Speaker 2: get distracted? Chris, come, I think we should do this together.
Speaker 2: We talked about it and I told him I might
Speaker 2: call him. Is that you get distracted?
Speaker 1: Right?
Speaker 2: You don't decide to just start following your own whims
Speaker 2: and fall back into old temptations. At least most people don't. Instead,
Speaker 2: it's more like a distraction. And we worked this out
Speaker 2: ahead of time, and he's cool with it. He's going
Speaker 2: to be the devil. He sang like an angel, but
Speaker 2: he's a versatile worshiper just for illustration, just for illustration.
Speaker 1: So I look away. I'm flowing, you know. Yeah, man, Damn,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna start the business. I'm gonna reasee these kids
Speaker 1: to be. World changes right.
Speaker 2: Like that, And then your second look away because you
Speaker 2: thought you could set it, and and then you get
Speaker 2: a text message, and then you have to walk into
Speaker 2: a meeting and you go to say what you're supposed
Speaker 2: to say and be who you're supposed to be, and
Speaker 2: show up like you're supposed to show up.
Speaker 1: And it's calmed down. Well, that don't sound.
Speaker 2: Do a little more, Chris, because sometimes sometimes the devil
Speaker 2: just tweaks you.
Speaker 1: A little bit. But sometimes.
Speaker 2: No, I know, I know, I know how it's really
Speaker 2: been in your house with your teenagers.
Speaker 1: All right, I'm about to prophesy.
Speaker 2: Because because you go to step up to it and
Speaker 2: it was good and it's now it's come down. Now,
Speaker 2: Wait a minute, God, did you leave me?
Speaker 1: Did you forsake me? I know what it is.
Speaker 2: I need a new guitar, I need a new husband.
Speaker 8: Maybe you do, but before you trash it, tune in,
Speaker 8: tune in, tune in.
Speaker 1: It happens to all of us every day.
Speaker 2: If you think for one moment that you can get
Speaker 2: saved one time, and your heart is permanently set on.
Speaker 1: The affections for the things.
Speaker 2: That matter to the heart of God, and that now
Speaker 2: you will be selfless in every encounter and will always know.
Speaker 1: The way that He leaves you to go in.
Speaker 2: Watch these musicians the next time we worship. Because they
Speaker 2: don't tune their guitars once a month. They don't tune
Speaker 2: their guitars once a week. They don't even just tune
Speaker 2: their guitars every Sunday before they play. They tune it
Speaker 2: between every song. It means that every day that I'm alive,
Speaker 2: and every breath that I breathe, and every transition that
Speaker 2: I go into, there is a possibility that my heart
Speaker 2: will go out of tune.
Speaker 1: I'm done with you them, They b c d get
Speaker 1: thee behind me.
Speaker 2: Give it up for Chris, everybody, the greatest worship leader in.
Speaker 1: The continental United States.
Speaker 2: Of America, and the devil just for these five minutes,
Speaker 2: because look, from the same heart come your greatest fears.
Speaker 2: From the same heart comes your greatest faith. Which one
Speaker 2: you move into depends on what you're tuned to. Why
Speaker 2: this helped me so much was because I struggle with
Speaker 2: a lot of condemnation at how much I change from
Speaker 2: wanting to do God's will to not wanting to do
Speaker 2: God's will. From feeling motivated to preach the message to
Speaker 2: feeling like I just.
Speaker 1: Want somebody to preach to me, from feeling.
Speaker 2: Like I want to be more giving, to feeling like
Speaker 2: nobody's taking care of me and.
Speaker 1: Being very I can have very big pity parties.
Speaker 2: When I realized that my heart is a liar, that
Speaker 2: my heart is a harp, It's a stringed instrument. Then
Speaker 2: I realize it has to be tuned to truth. Now,
Speaker 2: I told you.
Speaker 1: This illustration was going to help us, and that's really
Speaker 1: why I'm doing it.
Speaker 2: I'm not trying to just put an entertainment value on
Speaker 2: the sermon. I don't care about that. There's way better,
Speaker 2: more entertaining stuff you can watch. It's on your Hulu account.
Speaker 2: But you came here to get help for your heart,
Speaker 2: and I'm trying to show you that. It sounds like
Speaker 2: that right now. But the guitar is good, the wood
Speaker 2: is good. You've just been tuned to some stuff that
Speaker 2: has been neath who you really are. How many are
Speaker 2: glad that Jesus Christ does tune ups? Is that why
Speaker 2: you came to church today?
Speaker 1: Is that why you logged on today? Somebody holler tuned
Speaker 1: me up?
Speaker 2: Lord, tune me up, Lord, tune my heart to sing
Speaker 2: by grades.
Speaker 1: There's two ways to tune this guitar.
Speaker 2: The guitar is in tune technically when the strings have
Speaker 2: the appropriate tension through these pegs. That Chris so rudely
Speaker 2: tuned down like the devil does with discouragement, disappointment, Bill's offenses,
Speaker 2: all of these things. I could spend a whole hour
Speaker 2: just going through all of the things that distract you
Speaker 2: and detune you. If the enemy can detune your heart,
Speaker 2: he can defeat you in your life, and you'll be
Speaker 2: reaching for slings fighting when you need to be reaching
Speaker 2: for strings tuning.
Speaker 1: He trains my hands for war.
Speaker 2: But David said, I've learned to tune my heart to truth,
Speaker 2: not cultural truth. We have personalized the precepts, so we
Speaker 2: say things like my truth, but I don't tune to
Speaker 2: my truth because my heart is a liar. I cannot
Speaker 2: just listen to my heart at all times. That would
Speaker 2: cause me to want to quit. That would cause me
Speaker 2: to want to give up. That would cause me to
Speaker 2: lash out, That would cause me to sink, That would
Speaker 2: cause me to go all the way down further into
Speaker 2: the spiral.
Speaker 1: That's fine to follow your heart, when your heart's going up.
Speaker 1: But there are times in your life where you need
Speaker 1: to be.
Speaker 2: Tuned, and I want you to make sure in those
Speaker 2: times that you are tuning to truth, not your subjective experience,
Speaker 2: not even what your parents taught you.
Speaker 1: If your parents taught it.
Speaker 2: And God taught against it, your parents were wrong, not God.
Speaker 2: What your parents taught you was tradition. What God wants
Speaker 2: to tune you to is truth. Tune me to truth,
Speaker 2: and that means God show me where I'm wrong and
Speaker 2: blaming them. That means God show me where I think
Speaker 2: I need to get more and I really need to
Speaker 2: give more because I want to be tuned to truth.
Speaker 2: Show me where I've been thinking I'm at a disadvantage
Speaker 2: when really my slingshot is a secret weapon. I've been
Speaker 2: saying I don't have the resources. But maybe God didn't
Speaker 2: give you the resources so that he could source this one,
Speaker 2: so he could get the glory for what he does
Speaker 2: that you could never do. I feel annoyed to annoying
Speaker 2: to tune my heart to truth. And there's a couple
Speaker 2: of ways to tune the instruments. Because a stringed instrument
Speaker 2: like you and me, we have heart strings, right A
Speaker 2: stringed instrument.
Speaker 1: Goes out of tune.
Speaker 2: This guy came over to tune our piano and he
Speaker 2: charged like three hundred dollars, And then he was back
Speaker 2: a few months later and I was like, bro, do
Speaker 2: I get a discount?
Speaker 1: This is your second time trying this? He goes, no, Always,
Speaker 1: I have to do it every time the weather changes, when.
Speaker 2: The seasons change, the strings must be recalibrated. You're not
Speaker 2: a kid anymore. The season is changing. How many of
Speaker 2: you are going through a seasonal change in your life
Speaker 2: right now?
Speaker 1: Wave at me? How many of y'all feel like?
Speaker 2: In Charlotte we go through three seasonal changes every every day.
Speaker 1: Every week.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna have the piano tuner over at my house
Speaker 2: three times a day.
Speaker 1: If we keep this way, other fluctuation up, good Lord,
Speaker 1: And it.
Speaker 2: Can feel like that in your life because every time
Speaker 2: the temperature changes, you've got to retune every time the
Speaker 2: seasons change, so that you need to be asking the question, God,
Speaker 2: who do you want me to be?
Speaker 1: Now? Who are you calling to me to be? Now?
Speaker 2: What childish things do I need to put aside? My
Speaker 2: season is changing. Sometimes you are in a season of abundance,
Speaker 2: but you keep thinking like scarcity.
Speaker 1: You're out of tune.
Speaker 2: Sometimes you are in a season of focus, but you're
Speaker 2: thinking fore. Sometimes you're in a season of marriage, but
Speaker 2: you're scheduling your life like you're single. Your season has changed.
Speaker 2: You have to retune. And so when you need to retune,
Speaker 2: you can do a few things. One you can buy
Speaker 2: one of these.
Speaker 1: This is a tuner.
Speaker 2: This one's about twenty dollars, and you can tune, and
Speaker 2: you can do that.
Speaker 1: But I'm going to give you something from the Bible. Okay.
Speaker 2: I feel like Garth Brooks with this microphone and this
Speaker 2: acoustic guitar right now.
Speaker 1: This is so weird.
Speaker 2: I visualized it, but I told the Lord, I'll flow.
Speaker 1: With it however you want.
Speaker 2: I never saw myself standing here holding the guitar in
Speaker 2: this moment behind the pulpit. This is very awkward, and
Speaker 2: I love you. Okay, Okay, here it is give me
Speaker 2: Verse ten. I wanted to check the verse. David said,
Speaker 2: not only is it important what you tune, that you
Speaker 2: see yourself as a stringed instrument that has to be
Speaker 2: tuned regularly to the intervals of God's specific purpose and
Speaker 2: designation of your life.
Speaker 1: Not only do I have to be tuned when I
Speaker 1: go into a.
Speaker 2: New room, a new season, so that I don't carry
Speaker 2: yesterday's man of mentality into today's promised land situation. Not
Speaker 2: only do I need got to tune me when I
Speaker 2: go into something new, but watch this, he said, I
Speaker 2: will sing to the one everybody say to the one.
Speaker 2: I will sing to the one who gives victory to kings. Now,
Speaker 2: not only is David saying I will sing to the
Speaker 2: one like if I gave you a dollar, I gave
Speaker 2: a dollar to you, but he's saying I am going
Speaker 2: to sing in tune with the one.
Speaker 1: I'll show you.
Speaker 2: LJ is playing a digital instrument. His keyboard does not
Speaker 2: go out of tune. It can't. It's digital. It is
Speaker 2: set and it will stay set. His keyboard is tuned,
Speaker 2: and I know it's in tune right now.
Speaker 1: So the fact that I'm out of tune.
Speaker 2: On this stringed instrument the means that I need to
Speaker 2: turn around to someone who is always in tune.
Speaker 1: I might retire after this. Look.
Speaker 2: I've been thinking how to get this across to you.
Speaker 2: I've been thinking about it for months. Because you think
Speaker 2: you're trash. You are about to break your martin you're
Speaker 2: about to mess up your mind.
Speaker 1: You're about to walk away from your opportunity. It's not trashed,
Speaker 1: it's just not tuned. So if I turn.
Speaker 2: To the one who is in tune and I say, hey, LJ,
Speaker 2: give me an E and he plays an E and
Speaker 2: I play what's supposed to be an e on my
Speaker 2: liar and he's playing the truth and I'm playing the liar.
Speaker 2: And he says, E sounds like this, and I say,
Speaker 2: E sounds like And he's playing higher and I'm playing lower.
Speaker 2: He's right, I'm wrong. He's not coming down to me.
Speaker 2: I'm coming up to.
Speaker 1: Him because I'm turning to the one. You get it.
Speaker 2: You're not coming down to it. It's not coming down
Speaker 2: to you. God's not going to lower his standard. God's
Speaker 2: not going to decide you're just in bondage. And that's
Speaker 2: just the way you were born. If the sun will
Speaker 2: make you free, you will be free.
Speaker 1: Indeed.
Speaker 2: So if I'm down here and he's up there, I'm
Speaker 2: not staying down here.
Speaker 1: I'm coming up higher.
Speaker 9: Who fine? Five three people say, get up here, Get
Speaker 9: up here where the glory is, Get up here where
Speaker 9: the praise is, Get up here where the blessing is
Speaker 9: get up here where the abundance is, Get up here
Speaker 9: where the wisdom is first of all peaceable and then pure.
Speaker 9: It comes from God and it can't.
Speaker 1: Run out not to lose my voice.
Speaker 2: Whose voice are you tuning too? And I decided that
Speaker 2: even if everybody else does it, I'm not tuning to
Speaker 2: everybody else in this season of my life.
Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not stupid.
Speaker 2: Is still stupid even if you call it true. So
Speaker 2: if the Lord shows me the way I'm acting as stupid,
Speaker 2: I'm not stooping, just stupid and calling it truth.
Speaker 1: I'm tuning up. I'm tuning up, you feel me.
Speaker 2: That's why I gotta get my Bible out in the morning,
Speaker 2: because I gotta tune out, because I woke up feeling defeated,
Speaker 2: but my Bible said I'm more than a conqueror.
Speaker 1: I gotta tune up.
Speaker 2: Yeah, because I could come down to the level of
Speaker 2: what I feel, or I could come up to the
Speaker 2: level of what God says. And I hear two voices
Speaker 2: speaking today, and one is trying to make me a
Speaker 2: victim and one is trying to make me a victor.
Speaker 1: And I want to know whose report do you believe,
Speaker 1: we shall believe. His report says, I am heal.
Speaker 9: His report says I am free.
Speaker 2: His report says, victory, give me a BLJ. Yeah, I'm
Speaker 2: gonna get this thing back in tune.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get my life back in tune. You hear me.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna get my heart ungunked and unjunked and unloaded
Speaker 2: and unblocked and unstopped because.
Speaker 1: I believe God wants to use me.
Speaker 2: I believe God wants to do more through me, and
Speaker 2: I can't do it out of tune. The fount of
Speaker 2: every blessing can't flow through me if I'm fixated on
Speaker 2: what I think is true. Let God be true Romans
Speaker 2: three four and every man a liar man.
Speaker 1: One time, give me a g LJ.
Speaker 2: One time I went on the comments you want to
Speaker 2: get out of tune, go on a YouTube.
Speaker 1: Comment my God about right there. It's ten years ago.
Speaker 2: I was to remember this, how much someone can give
Speaker 2: in your heart something not only a lie, like somebody
Speaker 2: telling you that sexual immorality is no big deal.
Speaker 1: Well that's a lie, but.
Speaker 2: That's what my heart is leading me.
Speaker 1: Your heart is liar. God's not bringing his standard down
Speaker 1: to fit your situation. He called you up.
Speaker 2: Now he doesn't hate you, he doesn't, but he's not
Speaker 2: going to leave you in a dissonant state so you
Speaker 2: miss your destiny.
Speaker 1: He's going to bring you in tune.
Speaker 2: The Lord loves you too much to let you spend
Speaker 2: the rest of your life in harmony with Hell.
Speaker 1: Speaking of Hell, the YouTube comments.
Speaker 2: It was during the time in the church where I
Speaker 2: used to sing more when we would finish the worship,
Speaker 2: and I would come out and sing at him all
Speaker 2: the time, all right, And the YouTube comment on the
Speaker 2: sermons said, I remember it almost word for word, and
Speaker 2: God forgive me for giving this person my attention like
Speaker 2: I did.
Speaker 1: But they said that.
Speaker 2: Awkward moment when Stephen Ferdick starts singing the song and
Speaker 2: everybody secretly, which is just shut up and let the
Speaker 2: real singer sing. Not that I pay any attention to
Speaker 2: that stuff whatever like that. You know that thing God
Speaker 2: in my heart? I heard, Man, it got in my heart.
Speaker 2: It could be anything. I'll go on sometimes and I'll say,
Speaker 2: why is he wearing that T shirt? He wore a
Speaker 2: two T shirt on the stage. It's not this is
Speaker 2: not the this is not the gospel. Where's Jesus and
Speaker 2: this Jesus is not a YouTube. It's not a stuff
Speaker 2: can get in your heart if I let it. If
Speaker 2: I let it that because I'm not a professionally trained singer,
Speaker 2: keep me from singing.
Speaker 1: What songs wouldn't I have written over the last ten years.
Speaker 2: If I let everybody who said I didn't preach the
Speaker 2: real gospel keep me from preaching the gospel?
Speaker 1: How many people would we not baptized.
Speaker 2: Next week at our eighteenth anniversary. I speak of me
Speaker 2: to get to you. Are you tuning down to the trolls?
Speaker 1: Not only the online ones? Man the Lord really set
Speaker 1: me free from that.
Speaker 2: He said, how are you gonna tune your life to
Speaker 2: the trolls?
Speaker 1: Your wife loves you and knows you're a man of God.
Speaker 1: The people who need to know know you're a man
Speaker 1: of God. And somebody likes to hear you sing.
Speaker 10: Ah, hope you'll watch it because I'm still singing.
Speaker 1: Well, I'm gonna keep on singing.
Speaker 10: It as long as I'm got repping my line, because
Speaker 10: I don't.
Speaker 11: You say, Ah, get ready, get ready for what you're
Speaker 11: gonna do when you get in tune.
Speaker 9: God said, I brought you to church to tune you
Speaker 9: sick to the Lord a new song.
Speaker 1: High five. Somebody say, wait till you hear me in tune.
Speaker 1: Wait till you hear me in tune.
Speaker 5: Because when I get in tune, when I get in tune,
Speaker 5: when I get in the stream of the current of
Speaker 5: the mercy of God, has not seen and dear has
Speaker 5: not herved.
Speaker 1: God hasn't hitered into the.
Speaker 10: Heart of a man.
Speaker 1: My God has prepared, but God has revealed it by
Speaker 1: his spirit.
Speaker 2: And you say, well, pastor, this is great, but I
Speaker 2: don't have LJ Yes you do. This name is Lord Jesus.
Speaker 2: Now it's time to preach.
Speaker 9: Since then you have been raised when Christ all in.
Speaker 9: Since then you've been brought up out of your grade.
Speaker 9: Since then your sins are behind you. Since then, there's
Speaker 9: no red sea in front.
Speaker 2: Of you that can stop God from doing what he destined.
Speaker 4: For your life.
Speaker 10: Get him a prace, get him a grace, and in
Speaker 10: June praise a season. Just celebrate rooms everything God has bread,
Speaker 10: get him price whose roots, good days brushes.
Speaker 1: I will bless the Lord.
Speaker 11: Times and this lease, mama string instrument.
Speaker 1: I'm tuned up by the stare.
Speaker 9: To did I'm saying to by staring Bill ready for
Speaker 9: this season.
Speaker 11: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm done tuning down to stupid.
Speaker 7: I'm done turning down the trolls. I'm done tuning down
Speaker 7: to tradition. I got LJ, and he's tuning you. He's
Speaker 7: tuning you. Look at your neighbor and say he's tuning you.
Speaker 2: And tuning feels like stay standing, stay standing.
Speaker 1: It feels like tension. It feels like give me D. Yes. Lord.
Speaker 1: If you say that's D, I say that's D. If
Speaker 1: you say that's good, I say it's good. If you
Speaker 1: say it is well, I say it is well. If
Speaker 1: you say let it go, I let it go. Give
Speaker 1: me an a.
Speaker 2: If you say I'm going to survive and this will
Speaker 2: make me stronger, I will survive.
Speaker 1: It will make me stronger. Give me E and now.
Speaker 2: A guitar that I thought needed to be thrown away
Speaker 2: because I got with l J. And saying to the
Speaker 2: one who is in tune, I see you getting with
Speaker 2: Jesus this way.
Speaker 1: The Lord Jesus who above all.
Speaker 2: Away from the lives, quieting your own heart, allowing his
Speaker 2: heart to come through. David was a good man with
Speaker 2: a good heart. But even the best heart gets out
Speaker 2: it too. You did what you did, but that doesn't
Speaker 2: reflect who you are.
Speaker 1: You are.
Speaker 2: An instrument, and I want you to get with him
Speaker 2: this week and get in harmony with his will, and
Speaker 2: let him show you some things again, and invite.
Speaker 1: Him to take your hand off the sling.
Speaker 2: And stop trying to fight in your own strength, and
Speaker 2: let him put his hands on the strained instrument of
Speaker 2: your heart so that you can sing again.
Speaker 6: Come thou, fount of every blessing, tune my heart to sing,
Speaker 6: die grace.
Speaker 12: Streams of mercy. Never see call for songs loudest. Hey,
Speaker 12: before I can praise, I have to pause and get
Speaker 12: back in tune. That's all this is.
Speaker 2: This is a pause between praises, a pause, a transitional moment.
Speaker 1: Teach me song.
Speaker 3: Song song by flameing tongues of pus, praise themount and
Speaker 3: fix the a.
Speaker 1: Mons that.
Speaker 13: Dam's getting you back in tune.
