But thanks be to God. 183 00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:59,000 Speaker 1: There's a lot of people I can think I'm thankful 184 00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:01,240 Speaker 1: for my mother. I'm thankful for my wife. Shoot, I'm 185 00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:03,800 Speaker 1: thankful for Pastor Stephen. I'm thanking for the worship team. 186 00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:06,439 Speaker 1: That's a lot of people, I can think. But in 187 00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:10,240 Speaker 1: this moment, right now, when I think about his goodness 188 00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:13,880 Speaker 1: and all He's done for me, I've got to thank 189 00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:17,920 Speaker 1: God in this moment. I never even knew I would 190 00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:21,200 Speaker 1: be in this spot. I should have been paid, I 191 00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:26,040 Speaker 1: should have been parried, I should have been Thanks be 192 00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:36,080 Speaker 1: to God.

I gotta this 197 00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:04,560 Speaker 1: is an important verse. Go with me to Colossians. And 198 00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:05,839 Speaker 1: as you go in there, you need to know that 199 00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:11,320 Speaker 1: this victory, this victory is for, is for the scene 200 00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:18,800 Speaker 1: and the unseen. It's for the now and the not yet. 201 00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:23,640 Speaker 1: Come on the top of victory, for the scene, in 202 00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:29,160 Speaker 1: the scene and the unseen, in the now and in 203 00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:34,400 Speaker 1: the not yet. Your eyes will play games on you, 204 00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:37,640 Speaker 1: try to make you think that you lost because of 205 00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:39,640 Speaker 1: what you see. And I'm just telling you this victory 206 00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:43,000 Speaker 1: and what you see and in what you can't see. 207 00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:51,800 Speaker 1: Oh man, Colossus, chapter two. What verse verse thirteen I 208 00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:54,480 Speaker 1: think is that right? Let me look at my screens. Yeah, 209 00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:59,800 Speaker 1: verse thirteen it says, when you were dead in your sins? 210 00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:03,320 Speaker 1: I like this, The Bible is really clear. So I'm like, 211 00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:05,920 Speaker 1: when you were you know, a halfway decent person. And 212 00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:10,400 Speaker 1: I was like, no, you were dead. You're dead. You're 213 00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:12,320 Speaker 1: dead in your sins. I was dead in my sins, 214 00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:18,360 Speaker 1: and the uncircumcision of your flesh God made you alive. 215 00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:25,000 Speaker 1: With Christ. He forgave us all our sins. This is 216 00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:28,480 Speaker 1: good news. This is good news. You can't outsind his grace. 217 00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:32,600 Speaker 1: Jesus even died for the things you did on purpose, 218 00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:40,400 Speaker 1: not just the accidents. You know, sometimes you stumble into stuff, 219 00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:45,000 Speaker 1: but sometimes if you're texting somebody at two thirty am, 220 00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:52,080 Speaker 1: what you're doing, that in an accident. But he even 221 00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:54,079 Speaker 1: died for the things you and I did on purpose. 222 00:13:56,400 --> 00:14:00,520 Speaker 1: He forgave us our sins. Having canceled the charge of 223 00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:05,439 Speaker 1: our legal indebtedness, which stood against us and condemned us. 224 00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:12,199 Speaker 1: He has taken it away, mailing it to the cross. 225 00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:16,440 Speaker 1: And having disarmed the powers and authorities, he made a 226 00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:22,400 Speaker 1: public spectacle of them, triumphing over them by the cross. 227 00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:27,680 Speaker 1: I love this passage of scripture right here. Can we 228 00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:29,640 Speaker 1: just break it down just a little bit. There's a 229 00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:31,800 Speaker 1: number of different words in here. In Verse number fifteen, 230 00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:35,560 Speaker 1: I want us to look at it says and having disarmed. 231 00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:41,000 Speaker 1: The word disarmed there means to take off and or 232 00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:46,880 Speaker 1: strip off clothing. The powers there the word signifies like 233 00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:53,400 Speaker 1: first in rank. The authority here signifies someone that has 234 00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:59,520 Speaker 1: like a state of control or authority over something. The 235 00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:06,280 Speaker 1: public spectacle is when you would make like a public 236 00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:09,320 Speaker 1: shaming of someone. In our house, I got my two 237 00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:11,880 Speaker 1: boys I was telling you about, and my two boys 238 00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:14,120 Speaker 1: don't do this. If you're looking at other parts of 239 00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:15,760 Speaker 1: the world, you might not do this. In America, we 240 00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:19,800 Speaker 1: do this thing called pantsing. It's not all in America, 241 00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:21,200 Speaker 1: but in my house we do it. You're not allowed 242 00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:22,920 Speaker 1: to do this outside the house. With my boys. We 243 00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:24,840 Speaker 1: do this to each other all the time. Okay, So 244 00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:26,840 Speaker 1: if you're just you know, hey, get the dishes done, 245 00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:28,720 Speaker 1: all right, and somebody's doing the dishes, you come up 246 00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:36,280 Speaker 1: behind them. I'm not saying it's right but we're just 247 00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:39,520 Speaker 1: keeping our family alive. Right, So our sixteen year old 248 00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:44,400 Speaker 1: to our eleven year old, it's pandemonium all the time. Right. 249 00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:47,080 Speaker 1: I'm in another room and I can hear in gracious 250 00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:51,120 Speaker 1: like Parker, I know my son just got pants. I 251 00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:55,040 Speaker 1: know his shorts are down by his ankles in that moment. 252 00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:57,400 Speaker 1: So we're getting each other all the time. You're not 253 00:15:57,560 --> 00:16:01,040 Speaker 1: allowed to do this in public. We've made that very 254 00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:05,040 Speaker 1: very clear to our sons a man in the house, 255 00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:07,640 Speaker 1: and sometimes it happened with some guests over when you're 256 00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:09,120 Speaker 1: not supposed to do it when guests are over the 257 00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:10,800 Speaker 1: house either. You know, parents, we got all these random 258 00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:13,560 Speaker 1: rules that our kids are supposed to know. But there's 259 00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:16,320 Speaker 1: nothing like. There's nothing like when I walk up behind 260 00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:26,280 Speaker 1: my sons at the cross, it's like what Jesus did 261 00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:34,640 Speaker 1: to the enemy and all of his imps pants them. 262 00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:42,000 Speaker 1: This is biblical pants them, public shaming, public disgrace. I'm 263 00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:44,440 Speaker 1: gonna do this in front of everybody. I'm gonna get 264 00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:47,640 Speaker 1: on this old rugged cross in front of everybody. I'm 265 00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:50,720 Speaker 1: gonna take the sin and the shame of the world, 266 00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:53,480 Speaker 1: and I'm gonna put it on myself. And when he 267 00:16:53,560 --> 00:17:02,000 Speaker 1: puts it on himself. There's something powerful that happens. Everything 268 00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:09,840 Speaker 1: is nailed to this cross. This triumphing word. It carries 269 00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:15,160 Speaker 1: with it the idea to like display a triumph openly. 270 00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:20,320 Speaker 1: It's like, I'm not keeping this hidden. It was a 271 00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:24,120 Speaker 1: word that they used for for Roman generals when they 272 00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:30,040 Speaker 1: came back from a victory, and they have won a battle, 273 00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:35,520 Speaker 1: and this Roman general would be on the chariot being 274 00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:40,119 Speaker 1: carried into the city. Maybe he would have his kids 275 00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:43,120 Speaker 1: or his friends in the chariot with him, and they 276 00:17:43,119 --> 00:17:47,480 Speaker 1: would be heading towards the capital, and his arm would 277 00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:50,919 Speaker 1: be behind him, and those he had defeated would be 278 00:17:51,040 --> 00:18:04,920 Speaker 1: chained to the chariot, and his soldiers would be shouting triumph, triumph, triumph, triumph. 279 00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:09,159 Speaker 1: Here is the imagery that the writer gives you and 280 00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:13,640 Speaker 1: I when he talks about what happened at the Cross. 281 00:18:15,320 --> 00:18:21,440 Speaker 1: He says, Jesus at the Cross was this Roman general 282 00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:27,600 Speaker 1: on the chariot, and every single bit of disease and 283 00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:33,080 Speaker 1: darkness and fear and doubt was chained to that chariot, 284 00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:37,119 Speaker 1: and his sons and his daughters and those who have 285 00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:41,160 Speaker 1: been following him are coming behind him shouting. That's the 286 00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:44,640 Speaker 1: man right there. That's the one who got the victory. 287 00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:48,679 Speaker 1: That's the one who's in charge. But you know, what 288 00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:53,520 Speaker 1: has happened. It seems as if it seems as if 289 00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:59,800 Speaker 1: we've changed the story. It seems as if we're starting 290 00:18:59,840 --> 00:19:06,480 Speaker 1: to think that maybe that didn't really happen, that maybe 291 00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:08,240 Speaker 1: what Jesus did on the Cross was just good for 292 00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:10,280 Speaker 1: those two thousand years ago, and we'll just kind of 293 00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:12,600 Speaker 1: walk around in bondage and we'll just wait for a 294 00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:18,720 Speaker 1: day when we get to Heppen. I know, we got 295 00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:22,080 Speaker 1: campuses all over the place. But for those who are 296 00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:26,400 Speaker 1: in North Carolina, there is a football team in North 297 00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:29,480 Speaker 1: Carolina called the Carolina Panthers. You all know about the team. 298 00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:31,399 Speaker 1: You all know about this team. You don't even know. 299 00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:34,879 Speaker 1: You don't even know about this team. Y'all don't care 300 00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:38,600 Speaker 1: about the seam. Well, I don't. I can't say I'm 301 00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:40,000 Speaker 1: mad at you. Okay, I can't can't say I'm mad 302 00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:44,480 Speaker 1: at you about that, because remember Super Bowl fifty. Sorry 303 00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:48,560 Speaker 1: to bring this up, google it. You know, the part 304 00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:50,359 Speaker 1: of the world googled this. In Super Bowl fifty, the 305 00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:52,480 Speaker 1: Carolina Panthers made it to the Super Bowl to play 306 00:19:52,480 --> 00:20:00,800 Speaker 1: against the Denver Broncos. Oh man, WHOA, Well, they didn't win. Okay, 307 00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:03,440 Speaker 1: they didn't win. Sorry to spoil it. They didn't win. 308 00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:06,440 Speaker 1: But you know what happens is they don't know who's 309 00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:10,679 Speaker 1: gonna win the game before the game starts. So what 310 00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:17,440 Speaker 1: they do is they print shirts and hats that will 311 00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:21,480 Speaker 1: say who the champion is. So there are shirts printed 312 00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:29,120 Speaker 1: right now that say Super Bowl fifty Champions, Carolina Panthers. 313 00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:38,040 Speaker 1: There's a hat right now LP that says super Bowl 314 00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:55,720 Speaker 1: fifty champions Champions Carolina Panthers. Now, they didn't win, so 315 00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:59,119 Speaker 1: they had to send those shirts somewhere. I don't know 316 00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:06,320 Speaker 1: where they win, but somewhere around the world. I don't 317 00:21:06,359 --> 00:21:09,199 Speaker 1: know if it's Europe. I don't know. If it's Africa. 318 00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:11,679 Speaker 1: I don't know if it's Australia. Shoot, maybe they sent 319 00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:16,200 Speaker 1: them to Antarctica. There might be an Escabo somewhere right now, 320 00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:28,760 Speaker 1: walking around like Panthers for Life? Has the hat? Has 321 00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:32,560 Speaker 1: the shirt? Maybe got some shoes, I don't know what 322 00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:35,520 Speaker 1: they got, some Air Force ones that are baby blue. 323 00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:40,440 Speaker 1: They are walking around as if the Carolina Panthers won, 324 00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:44,240 Speaker 1: But the Carolina Panthers did not win. I feel like 325 00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:48,040 Speaker 1: there's too many followers of Jesus walking around with the 326 00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:51,560 Speaker 1: wrong hat and the wrong jersey on. We're walking around 327 00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:54,720 Speaker 1: as if what happened at the Cross is not good 328 00:21:54,760 --> 00:21:57,920 Speaker 1: for us today. We're walking around as if what Jesus 329 00:21:57,960 --> 00:22:00,520 Speaker 1: did back then was only good for back then, but 330 00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:03,119 Speaker 1: not good for my bills, and not good for my kids, 331 00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:05,480 Speaker 1: and not good for my business, and not good for 332 00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:08,200 Speaker 1: my mind, and not good from my body, and not 333 00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:10,960 Speaker 1: good for my community, and not good from my nation. 334 00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:13,520 Speaker 1: But I'm letting you know if you've been wearing the 335 00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:16,400 Speaker 1: wrong hat and if you've been wearing the wrong jersey, 336 00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:18,919 Speaker 1: the day is the day where your eyes are open, 337 00:22:19,119 --> 00:22:22,159 Speaker 1: where you can know that Jesus Christ is who he 338 00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:24,880 Speaker 1: says he is, he did what he said he did, 339 00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:30,120 Speaker 1: and not cross. That cavalry is still working today. I'm 340 00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:41,720 Speaker 1: shouting victory. I'm shouting tryumph. Some of y'all still aren't 341 00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:46,600 Speaker 1: believing me. You're still not believing me. But what I 342 00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:50,160 Speaker 1: know is if the enemy can distort our view of them, 343 00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:56,760 Speaker 1: he can distort the truth of them. If the enemy 344 00:22:57,840 --> 00:23:03,159 Speaker 1: can distort our view of what happened, then then he 345 00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:10,360 Speaker 1: can distort our truth of now. So if you are 346 00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:15,919 Speaker 1: thinking my prayer wasn't answered, so God must not be 347 00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:23,639 Speaker 1: all powerful. We had the funeral and we prayed that 348 00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:31,840 Speaker 1: they wouldn't die. Maybe God does not work. I asked 349 00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:39,120 Speaker 1: for forgiveness, but I'm still feeling shame. Maybe what Jesus 350 00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:45,600 Speaker 1: did is not for me. What ends up happening with 351 00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:50,119 Speaker 1: all of us at different times is we can start 352 00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:56,119 Speaker 1: second guessing what happened back then. I just fellowed a 353 00:23:56,119 --> 00:24:00,360 Speaker 1: little bit of an assignment to open our eyes back 354 00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:06,680 Speaker 1: up because COVID has tried to mess with us. Man, 355 00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:09,040 Speaker 1: I know, we got some folks in Florida and COVID 356 00:24:09,080 --> 00:24:12,960 Speaker 1: is not down there, you know at all, God bless you, 357 00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:19,600 Speaker 1: rolled right through it. It was like I'm from Texas Street. 358 00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:21,480 Speaker 1: We were like, oh no, no, you ain't. You ain't. 359 00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:23,720 Speaker 1: Don't shut out, you ain't shutting nobody down over here. 360 00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:30,879 Speaker 1: Started messing, started messing with, started messing with people, started 361 00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:35,240 Speaker 1: messing with us. Locked away in the house, going to 362 00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:39,800 Speaker 1: the refrigerator thirty eight times, still feeling that one but 363 00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:46,359 Speaker 1: God's good victory. So I started messing with, sort of 364 00:24:46,359 --> 00:24:49,560 Speaker 1: messing with our vision, started messing with our understanding of 365 00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:52,399 Speaker 1: who God is, started messing with the power of the 366 00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:56,199 Speaker 1: Gospel started making us think that maybe maybe science is 367 00:24:56,200 --> 00:24:59,399 Speaker 1: what's in charge, maybe governments what's in charge. Maybe my 368 00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:03,240 Speaker 1: feeling or what is in charge. Maybe maybe the pundits 369 00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:06,280 Speaker 1: or what's in charge. Maybe all these other individuals. What 370 00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:09,520 Speaker 1: they say, what they say, trump's what God's word says. 371 00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:11,080 Speaker 1: And I want you to know, whether you listen to 372 00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:15,000 Speaker 1: CNN or MSNBC or Fox News or MPR, wherever you go, 373 00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:17,560 Speaker 1: every single one of them, their words will fail. But 374 00:25:17,640 --> 00:25:19,919 Speaker 1: the words that will never fail, it's the words that 375 00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:22,440 Speaker 1: are in this Book of Life right here. So I'm 376 00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:25,199 Speaker 1: thankful for the Word of God. And I'm thankful for 377 00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:28,720 Speaker 1: a church like Elevation that keeps preaching the word of God. 378 00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:33,199 Speaker 1: I'm not sure if pastors even of felt this, but 379 00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:35,800 Speaker 1: I know I discovered I thought I was people's pastor. 380 00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:40,080 Speaker 1: Then I found out that Tucker Carlson was their pastor. 381 00:25:40,440 --> 00:25:43,159 Speaker 1: I found out that Rachel Maddow was their pastor. I 382 00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:46,080 Speaker 1: found out that these other pundits were their pastor. And I, hey, 383 00:25:46,119 --> 00:25:47,520 Speaker 1: you can go get your news wherever you want to 384 00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:49,879 Speaker 1: get your news, but when when you come to church, 385 00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:52,320 Speaker 1: when you come to the House of God, you're not 386 00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:54,919 Speaker 1: trying to get our opinion. We're trying to give you 387 00:25:54,960 --> 00:26:00,000 Speaker 1: the word, the inspired word of God, written by God 388 00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:03,800 Speaker 1: through the hands of men. And this word of God 389 00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:06,840 Speaker 1: is alive and active, sharper than any double edged sword. 390 00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:09,080 Speaker 1: And some of us gotta wake up out of our summer. 391 00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:12,240 Speaker 1: We still carrying the residue of the mess of this 392 00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:15,200 Speaker 1: past season.

Here's a Thomas 421 00:28:20,480 --> 00:28:23,120 Speaker 1: a train reference for those years of people googling right now, 422 00:28:25,400 --> 00:28:30,920 Speaker 1: so he's not talking railroad cars. This train that he's 423 00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:35,240 Speaker 1: talking about, this is the train like that's connected to 424 00:28:35,320 --> 00:28:40,320 Speaker 1: a garment, like a bride. I know some brides are 425 00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:44,920 Speaker 1: still upset about twenty twenty.

We celebrate every single bride that 429 00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:56,960 Speaker 1: feels like their heart was broken, just so you know, 430 00:28:57,040 --> 00:28:59,520 Speaker 1: God has not forgotten about you, and he cares about 431 00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:02,280 Speaker 1: all of your dreams. Okay, and he is going to 432 00:29:02,360 --> 00:29:05,680 Speaker 1: cross every t and dot every eye. You'll have that precious, 433 00:29:05,880 --> 00:29:08,200 Speaker 1: beautiful moment that you're looking for. But we're talking now 434 00:29:08,200 --> 00:29:15,000 Speaker 1: about the train like that's connected in a wedding. And 435 00:29:15,040 --> 00:29:19,120 Speaker 1: he says, here the year the king Uziah died, I 436 00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:22,440 Speaker 1: saw the Lord saw I'm high and exalted, seated on 437 00:29:22,480 --> 00:29:24,800 Speaker 1: a throne, and I saw the train of his robe 438 00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:31,560 Speaker 1: fill the temple. Now, now some of y'all Bible scholars 439 00:29:31,600 --> 00:29:35,800 Speaker 1: you already know this. But but like Egyptian and Assyrian 440 00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:38,680 Speaker 1: monarchs back in the day, as one writer puts it, 441 00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:42,800 Speaker 1: they have these really elaborate thrones. Think think Game of Thrones, right, 442 00:29:42,840 --> 00:29:44,600 Speaker 1: Game of Thrones, If you watch that, I don't. I 443 00:29:44,600 --> 00:29:48,400 Speaker 1: don't watch Game of Thrones. I only watch Jesus things, okay, 444 00:29:52,640 --> 00:29:59,719 Speaker 1: squid games in the name of Jesus. So they've got 445 00:29:59,760 --> 00:30:04,239 Speaker 1: these really elaborate thrones. And with these elaborate thrones, they 446 00:30:04,240 --> 00:30:07,560 Speaker 1: would have I mean like any elaborate throne should have. 447 00:30:07,600 --> 00:30:14,200 Speaker 1: They would have these robes, massive, long, flowing. Whenever they 448 00:30:14,240 --> 00:30:17,960 Speaker 1: had a battle, they would go and they would beat 449 00:30:18,120 --> 00:30:22,480 Speaker 1: that king that camp. They would cut off the train 450 00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:29,080 Speaker 1: of the defeated king and they would sew it onto 451 00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:41,040 Speaker 1: their train. Okay, this is like weaves for trains. Work 452 00:30:41,080 --> 00:30:44,280 Speaker 1: with me, Work with me, Work with me, Work with me, 453 00:30:44,360 --> 00:30:50,000 Speaker 1: Work with me, work with me, work with me. They 454 00:30:50,040 --> 00:30:54,640 Speaker 1: would they would attach it. In every battle that they 455 00:30:54,760 --> 00:30:59,120 Speaker 1: had that they won, they say, give me that, cut 456 00:30:59,120 --> 00:31:03,920 Speaker 1: it and attach it. It was a sign to everyone 457 00:31:03,960 --> 00:31:08,240 Speaker 1: else that what this king and who this king is, 458 00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:13,080 Speaker 1: that's a bad man. Right there, the length of your 459 00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:18,120 Speaker 1: train spoke to the number of battles that you had won. 460 00:31:21,280 --> 00:31:24,160 Speaker 1: So in this passage of scripture right here in Isaiah 461 00:31:24,280 --> 00:31:28,200 Speaker 1: chapter six, let me give you some context how the 462 00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:32,320 Speaker 1: Gospel of John tells us what's actually going on here. 463 00:31:32,360 --> 00:31:35,640 Speaker 1: In John chapter twelve, verse number forty one. This is 464 00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:39,000 Speaker 1: what it says, John chapter twelve, verse forty one. When 465 00:31:39,200 --> 00:31:54,960 Speaker 1: Isaiah saw this, he saw Jesus's glory. When Isaiah saw 466 00:31:55,040 --> 00:31:59,640 Speaker 1: this in Isaiah chapter six, and he sees the Lord 467 00:31:59,760 --> 00:32:04,920 Speaker 1: how and lifted up what he sees in that moment 468 00:32:05,920 --> 00:32:11,880 Speaker 1: is Jesus his glory, and the train of Jesus' glory 469 00:32:12,800 --> 00:32:19,440 Speaker 1: actually filled the entire temple, signifying that our Savior has 470 00:32:19,680 --> 00:32:26,680 Speaker 1: victory after victory after victory after victory after victory after 471 00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:36,960 Speaker 1: victory after victory. That's attached thing. It was such a 472 00:32:37,080 --> 00:32:45,440 Speaker 1: large train that it filled the whole temple. So I's thinking, wait, wait, wait, 473 00:32:45,440 --> 00:32:49,960 Speaker 1: wait wait, that's Old Testament. That's Old Testament and New Testament. 474 00:32:51,240 --> 00:32:58,280 Speaker 1: There's a temple and the New Testament. The temple is yes. 475 00:33:03,920 --> 00:33:09,440 Speaker 1: So I saw the Lord high and lifted up seated 476 00:33:09,480 --> 00:33:15,200 Speaker 1: on the throne, and the victories that he had filled 477 00:33:22,840 --> 00:33:33,520 Speaker 1: filled the temple. So that now means everywhere you walk, 478 00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:41,120 Speaker 1: you've got the train of his glory that has filled you. 479 00:33:43,960 --> 00:33:49,160 Speaker 1: Every step you take, victory comes with you. Every meeting 480 00:33:49,240 --> 00:33:53,480 Speaker 1: you walk into, victory walks in there. Every single paddle 481 00:33:53,560 --> 00:33:57,360 Speaker 1: you face, victory is there. So that's why, daughter, you 482 00:33:57,400 --> 00:34:00,560 Speaker 1: don't have to have your head held down. I want 483 00:34:00,600 --> 00:34:03,760 Speaker 1: to encourage you right now. Remember the victory that's on 484 00:34:03,840 --> 00:34:06,360 Speaker 1: the inside of you. And I know he said this 485 00:34:06,480 --> 00:34:09,640 Speaker 1: about you and she said that about you, But living 486 00:34:09,719 --> 00:34:13,000 Speaker 1: on the inside of you is the very victory of 487 00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:16,400 Speaker 1: our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

The last enemy to be destroyed 571 00:40:39,120 --> 00:40:43,959 Speaker 1: will be death. There will be a day there will 572 00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:53,000 Speaker 1: be no more death. There will be a day. Right now, 573 00:40:54,360 --> 00:41:01,719 Speaker 1: it's defeated, but it's not destroyed. I don't know. You 574 00:41:01,760 --> 00:41:05,680 Speaker 1: go to a football game or soccer for those in 575 00:41:05,719 --> 00:41:08,279 Speaker 1: other parts of the world, soccer to US football, to you, 576 00:41:09,080 --> 00:41:11,840 Speaker 1: basketball game, whatever it is like the championship game.

Come on, 590 00:42:17,880 --> 00:42:21,840 Speaker 1: follow me here. What Jesus Christ did on the cross, 591 00:42:22,680 --> 00:42:25,400 Speaker 1: and when he got up out of that grave, that 592 00:42:25,680 --> 00:42:29,800 Speaker 1: was the knockout blow. But there is a time coming 593 00:42:30,440 --> 00:42:34,000 Speaker 1: when the heavens will part and the trumpet will sound, 594 00:42:34,480 --> 00:42:38,200 Speaker 1: and then that in Christ will be raised first. And 595 00:42:38,360 --> 00:42:46,240 Speaker 1: when that happens, that's Bruce Buffer. Come on, that's Bruce 596 00:42:46,239 --> 00:42:51,319 Speaker 1: Buffer say, I know you already know what happened. It 597 00:42:51,480 --> 00:42:56,600 Speaker 1: happened on the third day after Calvary, that the Son 598 00:42:56,640 --> 00:43:01,360 Speaker 1: of God, the King of kings, Lord of lords, the 599 00:43:01,440 --> 00:43:05,279 Speaker 1: lover of humanity, the bright in the morning star, the 600 00:43:05,320 --> 00:43:09,799 Speaker 1: one who redeemed God with skin on, who became flesh 601 00:43:09,840 --> 00:43:12,360 Speaker 1: and made his dwelling among us. He was on that 602 00:43:12,440 --> 00:43:15,560 Speaker 1: old rugged cross, and everyone thought he was down. But 603 00:43:15,680 --> 00:43:18,440 Speaker 1: on the third day he got up out of that crave. 604 00:43:18,719 --> 00:43:21,480 Speaker 1: And when he got up out of that crave, he 605 00:43:21,560 --> 00:43:25,880 Speaker 1: defeated death, Hell, and the crave and the devil, and 606 00:43:26,040 --> 00:43:30,240 Speaker 1: every single thing that has been broken or will be broken. 607 00:43:30,520 --> 00:43:35,120 Speaker 1: It's now done in his mighty and matchless name, victory 608 00:43:35,680 --> 00:43:40,480 Speaker 1: now and forever. So this is why he says, watch this, 609 00:43:40,600 --> 00:43:42,560 Speaker 1: watch us, watch this. This is why he says. This 610 00:43:42,600 --> 00:43:44,360 Speaker 1: is why he says the verse fifty four, when the 611 00:43:44,400 --> 00:43:49,799 Speaker 1: perishable has been clothed with the imperishable, Oh Man, and 612 00:43:49,840 --> 00:43:54,160 Speaker 1: the mortal with immortality. Then the saying that has written 613 00:43:54,200 --> 00:44:00,120 Speaker 1: will come true. Death has been swallowed up in victory. 614 00:44:04,440 --> 00:44:08,000 Speaker 1: Where old death is your victory. Where old death is 615 00:44:08,040 --> 00:44:10,560 Speaker 1: your sting. The sting of death is sin, and the 616 00:44:10,600 --> 00:44:14,160 Speaker 1: power of sin is the Lord. But thanks be to 617 00:44:14,360 --> 00:44:20,240 Speaker 1: God He gives us the victory through our Lord, Jesus Christ. 618 00:44:20,440 --> 00:44:25,440 Speaker 1: Can you clap your hands, Elevation Church?
