I promise you we'll make you feel right 42 00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:09,800 Speaker 4: at home. I like to start with something funny, and 43 00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:12,440 Speaker 4: I heard about this little girl. She was sitting in 44 00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:16,440 Speaker 4: her grandfather's lap. She noticed how wrinkled his face was 45 00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:21,760 Speaker 4: as she contemplated the difference between his and hers. She said, Grandaddy, 46 00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:25,440 Speaker 4: did God make you? He kind of laughed and said, yes, honey, 47 00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:28,720 Speaker 4: he made me a long time ago. She then asked, 48 00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:31,640 Speaker 4: did God make me? He said, yes, he made you 49 00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:35,400 Speaker 4: just a little while ago. She thought about it a moment, said, Granddaddy, 50 00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:40,000 Speaker 4: God's getting better, Isn't he say it like you mean it. 51 00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:43,359 Speaker 4: This is my Bible. I am what it says I am. 52 00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:46,240 Speaker 4: I have what it says I have. I can do 53 00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:49,000 Speaker 4: what it says I can do. Today I will be 54 00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:53,120 Speaker 4: taught the word of God. I boldly confess. My mind 55 00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:56,440 Speaker 4: is alert, my heart is receptive. I will never be 56 00:02:56,520 --> 00:03:01,359 Speaker 4: the same. In Jesus' name, God bless you. I want 57 00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:04,519 Speaker 4: to talk to you today about serve your way up. 58 00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:10,200 Speaker 4: We all want to rise higher, accomplish our dreams, overcome obstacles, 59 00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:14,000 Speaker 4: but as long as we're only focused on ourselves, will 60 00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:18,919 Speaker 4: get stuck. God brings people and opportunities across our path, 61 00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:22,480 Speaker 4: so we can be a blessing. When you take time 62 00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:26,600 Speaker 4: to serve, you bring that elderly neighbor food each week, 63 00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:29,680 Speaker 4: you clean up at the office, even though you didn't 64 00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:33,200 Speaker 4: make the mess you mentor that young man that doesn't 65 00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:37,240 Speaker 4: have a father. That's what allows God to take you higher. 66 00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:42,000 Speaker 4: When you serve others, a new level of favor is released. 67 00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:45,080 Speaker 4: We think we have to work our way to the top. 68 00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:48,400 Speaker 4: The truth is you can serve your way to the top. 69 00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:52,840 Speaker 4: The scripture says when Job prayed for his friends, he 70 00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:57,960 Speaker 4: got well. When he served others, he went higher. Something 71 00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:01,640 Speaker 4: powerful happens when you get that's your mind off yourself 72 00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:05,000 Speaker 4: and you go out and do good for somebody else. 73 00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:10,280 Speaker 4: Are you serving anyone besides you? Are you doing something 74 00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:15,120 Speaker 4: for others outside of what your job requires. Growing up, 75 00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:18,840 Speaker 4: we knew this older gentleman named mister Davis. He'd been 76 00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:22,200 Speaker 4: attending Lakewood since I was a little boy. He was 77 00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:26,120 Speaker 4: very kind and friendly. When I was in my late teens, 78 00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:29,719 Speaker 4: I was driving home from church one Sunday afternoon. I 79 00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:31,919 Speaker 4: noticed he was pulled over on the side of the 80 00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:36,520 Speaker 4: road on this main residential street. He was in his eighties, 81 00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:38,920 Speaker 4: and I thought something was wrong, maybe he had a 82 00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:42,320 Speaker 4: flat tire. So I turned around to go check it out. 83 00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:44,640 Speaker 4: I got out of my car and said, brother Davis, 84 00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:47,719 Speaker 4: do you need some help? He was getting something out 85 00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:50,960 Speaker 4: of his trunk. He said, no, Joel, I noticed the 86 00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:54,760 Speaker 4: other day that this street sign is covered with vines. 87 00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:57,960 Speaker 4: You can hardly read it. So I brought my lawn 88 00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:01,359 Speaker 4: equipment to clean it up. He opened his trunk. He 89 00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:05,520 Speaker 4: had his tremors, a garden hoe, some plastic bags. For 90 00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:09,320 Speaker 4: the next couple of hours, he worked cleaning up the sign, 91 00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:14,039 Speaker 4: everything around him. At eighteen years old, that made such 92 00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:17,240 Speaker 4: an impression on me. I thought he didn't have to 93 00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:20,800 Speaker 4: do that, wasn't his job. He could have waited for 94 00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:25,400 Speaker 4: the city to trim it. But Brother Davis lived to serve. 95 00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:29,240 Speaker 4: He was always looking for ways to be a blessing. 96 00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:33,280 Speaker 4: Maybe that's why he was so happy. Maybe that's why 97 00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:37,359 Speaker 4: he lived a long, healthy life. When you focus not 98 00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:41,680 Speaker 4: just on accomplishing your dreams, but on being a blessing, 99 00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:45,440 Speaker 4: on serving others, then you're going to have more joy, 100 00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:49,400 Speaker 4: live more fulfilled. And the reason some people are not 101 00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:54,120 Speaker 4: happy is all they think about is themselves, my dreams, 102 00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:58,480 Speaker 4: my goals, my problems, my family. I say this respectfully. 103 00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:02,279 Speaker 4: You need to take a break from you. It's not 104 00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:05,280 Speaker 4: healthy to have you on your mind all the time. 105 00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:09,640 Speaker 4: Take a break from what's bothering you. Take a break 106 00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:13,000 Speaker 4: from what you want, from what you're believing for, and 107 00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:17,520 Speaker 4: go be good to somebody else. When you serve others, 108 00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:22,040 Speaker 4: that's a seed you're sewing. God will make sure people 109 00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:25,280 Speaker 4: are good to you. But if you're not getting any 110 00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:28,800 Speaker 4: good breaks, you need to ask yourself, am I giving 111 00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:32,719 Speaker 4: any good breaks? Am I showing people favor? Am I 112 00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:35,680 Speaker 4: just doing what's required? Or am I going the extra 113 00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:41,280 Speaker 4: mile and serving? Isaiah said, when you feed the hungry, 114 00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:45,240 Speaker 4: when you clothe the neked, when you help those in need, 115 00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:49,080 Speaker 4: then your light will break forth like the dawn, and 116 00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:53,640 Speaker 4: your healing will quickly come. Too often we're waiting for 117 00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:56,599 Speaker 4: the light to break forth. We're waiting for the healing, 118 00:06:56,800 --> 00:07:00,240 Speaker 4: the promotion, the new level. The question is have we 119 00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:04,000 Speaker 4: done the first part? Have we served someone? Have we 120 00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:07,840 Speaker 4: been a blessing? When that coworker has to put their 121 00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:10,560 Speaker 4: car in the shop, Hey, let me swing by and 122 00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:13,200 Speaker 4: pick you up. I can bring you to work this week. 123 00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:17,560 Speaker 4: You just serve someone. That single mom that's struggling to 124 00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:20,480 Speaker 4: pay a rent. Hey, let me buy your groceries this month. 125 00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:24,960 Speaker 4: You just fed the hungry. That young colleague that doesn't 126 00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:28,440 Speaker 4: understand the computer program, Hey, let me stay late and 127 00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:30,800 Speaker 4: teach you what I know. I'll help you to learn. 128 00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:34,720 Speaker 4: When you make it your business to serve, you're going 129 00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:39,120 Speaker 4: to see breakthroughs, promotion, doors open that you couldn't open. 130 00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:43,200 Speaker 4: Nobody may have seen what brother Davis did that day. 131 00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:47,600 Speaker 4: Nobody may have stopped to thank him. Nobody reimbursed him 132 00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:52,480 Speaker 4: for his supplies. Here's the key. God sees everything. He's 133 00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:56,680 Speaker 4: keeping the records. The scripture says, what you do in secret, 134 00:07:56,960 --> 00:08:00,560 Speaker 4: God will reward in the open. Don't worry if you're 135 00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:04,680 Speaker 4: not getting credit. Don't get discouraged if people don't thank you. 136 00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:09,600 Speaker 4: God sees your sacrifice. He sees you buying supplies for 137 00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:13,000 Speaker 4: your students. He sees you taking care of that friend 138 00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:16,200 Speaker 4: that's not well. He sees you getting up early to 139 00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:19,280 Speaker 4: come sing in the choir. God knows how to thank you. 140 00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:23,160 Speaker 4: He knows how to open the windows of heaven. You 141 00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:26,800 Speaker 4: can't be good to somebody without God being good back 142 00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:29,640 Speaker 4: to you. That's not the reason we do it. It's 143 00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:32,679 Speaker 4: just the way God is. When you give, he gives 144 00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:35,679 Speaker 4: you more back. When you show favor, he shows you 145 00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:39,920 Speaker 4: more favor. I think about all the volunteers that make 146 00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:44,880 Speaker 4: Lakewood work each week, ushers greeters, prayer partners, people that 147 00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:48,080 Speaker 4: visit the sick in the hospital, that go up to 148 00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:52,800 Speaker 4: the prisons, that help those in addictions and recovery. Thousands 149 00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:57,000 Speaker 4: of people that come early and stay late on their 150 00:08:57,080 --> 00:09:00,960 Speaker 4: day off. They've already worked forty hours. They could be 151 00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:06,120 Speaker 4: at home, resting, running errands, enjoying hobbies. Instead, what are 152 00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:11,839 Speaker 4: they doing, serving, helping others, giving Some of you volunteers. 153 00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:15,160 Speaker 4: I have never said thank you to in person, one 154 00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:18,160 Speaker 4: on one, and of course I am very grateful. But 155 00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:21,160 Speaker 4: the truth is you don't have to have my thanks. 156 00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:24,679 Speaker 4: I don't control the universe. When the Most High God 157 00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:28,040 Speaker 4: thanks you, things will happen that you couldn't make happen. 158 00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:33,559 Speaker 4: His blessing will take you where you've never dreamed. Sometimes 159 00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:36,960 Speaker 4: we don't want to serve because it seems so small 160 00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:40,680 Speaker 4: and so insignificant. But on the way to the big 161 00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:44,000 Speaker 4: things God has in store, he will test us with 162 00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:48,959 Speaker 4: small things. Don't discount trimming the vines off a street sign. 163 00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:52,680 Speaker 4: Don't talk yourself out of going the extra mile and 164 00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:57,080 Speaker 4: serving your family, getting up early, taking care of the children, 165 00:09:57,320 --> 00:10:01,360 Speaker 4: making sure everything's all right. May be saying thank you. 166 00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:05,880 Speaker 4: It feels unnoticed. God sees what you're doing. That's what 167 00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:09,559 Speaker 4: leads to new levels. Maybe you're working at a job 168 00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:12,520 Speaker 4: that you feel is beneath you. You know you have 169 00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:16,400 Speaker 4: more in you. It's tempting to think, when I get promoted, 170 00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:19,360 Speaker 4: when a new door opens, then I'll be my best. 171 00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:22,720 Speaker 4: Then I'll give it my awe. You have to first 172 00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:26,240 Speaker 4: serve where you are with a good attitude. If you 173 00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:30,800 Speaker 4: will excel in that small position, do more than you 174 00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:35,160 Speaker 4: have to, then God will open something bigger. Or maybe 175 00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:37,480 Speaker 4: you want to be in ministry. You want to do 176 00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:41,480 Speaker 4: something significant, but the church isn't looking for a pastor. 177 00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:45,520 Speaker 4: They need volunteers in the children's church. We think I 178 00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:48,200 Speaker 4: don't want to take care of kids, Joe, I do 179 00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:50,360 Speaker 4: that all week with my own children. I want to 180 00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:54,240 Speaker 4: be on the platform. It may seem small, but it's 181 00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:57,480 Speaker 4: a key to you rising higher. It may not be 182 00:10:57,640 --> 00:11:00,920 Speaker 4: the main thing in your heart, but it's leading to 183 00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:05,240 Speaker 4: the main thing. You can't skip that step and reach 184 00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:09,680 Speaker 4: your destiny. Success is not an elevator, it's a set 185 00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:13,960 Speaker 4: of stairs. God leads a step by step. Will you 186 00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:18,839 Speaker 4: serve even though it seems insignificant. This is what David did. 187 00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:21,880 Speaker 4: He was anointed to be the next king of Israel. 188 00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:25,840 Speaker 4: When he was seventeen years old, the prophet Samuel came 189 00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:30,000 Speaker 4: to his house unannounced and chose him over his seven 190 00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:34,280 Speaker 4: older brothers. He knew he was destined to do great things. 191 00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:38,120 Speaker 4: God put this promise in his heart. But David didn't 192 00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:41,280 Speaker 4: go to the palace. He went back to the shepherd's 193 00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:43,960 Speaker 4: fields to take care of sheep, like he had done 194 00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:48,040 Speaker 4: for years. One day, his father asked him to take 195 00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:52,200 Speaker 4: some sandwiches and cheese to his brothers, who were in 196 00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:56,360 Speaker 4: another city in the army. David could have thought, Dad, 197 00:11:56,800 --> 00:12:00,400 Speaker 4: I'm not an errand boy, I'm not a gopher king. 198 00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:04,160 Speaker 4: You saw Samuel annoint me. Not gonna serve my brothers. 199 00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:06,920 Speaker 4: They should be bringing me food. He could have been 200 00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:11,640 Speaker 4: too proud to do a small thing. Instead. The next morning, 201 00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:15,199 Speaker 4: he set out with the lunches. When he arrived at 202 00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:20,240 Speaker 4: their camp, he heard Goliath, the champion of the Philistine army, 203 00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:25,000 Speaker 4: taunting the Israelites. If David had not been willing to 204 00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:30,000 Speaker 4: serve in a small area taking his brother lunches, he 205 00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:34,680 Speaker 4: would have never met Goliath. His purpose was hidden in 206 00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:39,120 Speaker 4: what seemed to be insignificant. You have to be willing 207 00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:42,640 Speaker 4: to do something small before God will trust you with 208 00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:47,959 Speaker 4: something great. David was led into his destiny by delivering 209 00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:51,920 Speaker 4: a sandwich. You would think when God anointed him king, 210 00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:55,040 Speaker 4: he would say, David, the next step is to go 211 00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:57,680 Speaker 4: meet with the commander of the army, go to the 212 00:12:57,720 --> 00:13:02,120 Speaker 4: palace and strategize with the military life. Instead, God said, 213 00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:06,480 Speaker 4: the next step take your brother's lunch. I wonder if 214 00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:11,800 Speaker 4: a new level is waiting for you in what seems insignificant. 215 00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:16,160 Speaker 4: Don't put off opportunities to do good to those around you, 216 00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:20,760 Speaker 4: to serve people like David. You may have bigger things 217 00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:23,839 Speaker 4: in your heart. What's in front of you doesn't line 218 00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:27,640 Speaker 4: up with your vision. David thought, I'm a king, not 219 00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:31,840 Speaker 4: a delivery man. You don't know where that small step 220 00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:36,280 Speaker 4: is leading. Your purpose could be waiting for you in 221 00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:40,280 Speaker 4: your next act of service. That could be where you 222 00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:43,960 Speaker 4: meet your Goliath. David was talking with some people in 223 00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:47,640 Speaker 4: the army. He found out there was a huge reward 224 00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:52,280 Speaker 4: for defeating Goliath. Whoever killed him would get one of 225 00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:56,200 Speaker 4: the king's daughters as their wife, plus their whole family 226 00:13:56,520 --> 00:14:00,760 Speaker 4: would be exempt from paying taxes. David was, I'm so excited, 227 00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:03,360 Speaker 4: he couldn't believe it. It's one thing to not have 228 00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:06,680 Speaker 4: to pay taxes, but when you marry the king's daughter, 229 00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:11,600 Speaker 4: that means your status would change. David came from a 230 00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:16,440 Speaker 4: common family. They were shepherds, but with one defeat he 231 00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:20,400 Speaker 4: could become royalty. That would change his family line forever. 232 00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:25,240 Speaker 4: When King Saul heard that this young man David was 233 00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:30,960 Speaker 4: interested in fighting Goliath, the scripture says Saul sent for David. 234 00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:35,640 Speaker 4: He had somebody bring him in here. David went simply 235 00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:39,240 Speaker 4: to bring a lunch, and now he's standing in the 236 00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:44,160 Speaker 4: presence of the king. It's amazing what can happen when you, sir, 237 00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:49,240 Speaker 4: just being faithful, just doing something that seems small. You 238 00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:52,800 Speaker 4: don't know when you're going to get called in. Promotion 239 00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:56,320 Speaker 4: doesn't come from people. It comes from the Lord. When 240 00:14:56,360 --> 00:14:59,160 Speaker 4: it's your time, God will cause you to be seen, 241 00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:02,800 Speaker 4: cause you to be at the right place. He'll cause 242 00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:06,640 Speaker 4: you to be called in. David went out with a slingshot, 243 00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:12,600 Speaker 4: slung the rock and defeated Goliath. Overnight he became royalty. 244 00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:17,400 Speaker 4: He went from struggling being poor to having more than enough, 245 00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:22,160 Speaker 4: not just him, but his whole family. There are moments 246 00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:27,640 Speaker 4: in your future where like David, because you're serving, giving, 247 00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:32,200 Speaker 4: helping others. God is going to suddenly thrust you to 248 00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:36,040 Speaker 4: a new level. God knows how to change your status. 249 00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:39,720 Speaker 4: He knows how to bump you up to another dimension. 250 00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:43,560 Speaker 4: One touch of his favor. It not only affects you, 251 00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:46,920 Speaker 4: but it impacts your whole family. And you may not 252 00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:50,560 Speaker 4: see how this can happen. Neither did David. He was 253 00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:54,280 Speaker 4: just delivering a lunch, serving in what seemed like a 254 00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:57,200 Speaker 4: small area. You don't know what God is up to. 255 00:15:57,720 --> 00:16:00,960 Speaker 4: You keep being faithful. God's going to make things happen 256 00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:05,320 Speaker 4: that you never dreamed would happen. What's interesting is David 257 00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:10,160 Speaker 4: didn't deliver the lunches looking for an opportunity. He didn't 258 00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:13,360 Speaker 4: go thinking, maybe I'll get a good break, maybe I'll 259 00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:16,840 Speaker 4: make an important contact, maybe I'll meet the king. He 260 00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:21,160 Speaker 4: didn't have his own agenda. He wasn't trying to manipulate things. 261 00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:25,960 Speaker 4: He was just faithfully serving, doing what his father asked, 262 00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:30,800 Speaker 4: and the opportunity came to him. When you serve others, 263 00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:35,040 Speaker 4: you are serving God, You are honoring him. You don't 264 00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:37,920 Speaker 4: have to make things happen. You don't have to try 265 00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:41,320 Speaker 4: to convince people to like you, talk them in to 266 00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:44,840 Speaker 4: opening a door. You just keep being your best where 267 00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:48,640 Speaker 4: you are going the extra mile, and the blessing will 268 00:16:48,680 --> 00:16:52,520 Speaker 4: come to you, the promotion, the right people, the favor 269 00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:56,920 Speaker 4: it will find you. For seventeen years I served my 270 00:16:57,080 --> 00:17:01,600 Speaker 4: father behind the scenes here at Lakewood doing the television production. 271 00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:05,760 Speaker 4: I wasn't trying to become a pastor. I wasn't looking 272 00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:09,320 Speaker 4: for this position. I was happy where I was. I 273 00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:14,160 Speaker 4: would spend hours tweaking the lighting and adjusting the camera angles, 274 00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:17,720 Speaker 4: doing all I could to make my father look good. 275 00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:21,359 Speaker 4: I would go to his house every week and pick 276 00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:24,000 Speaker 4: out a suit and tie for him to wear on 277 00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:28,679 Speaker 4: television on Sundays. For several years when we owned a station, 278 00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:32,040 Speaker 4: every Saturday I would have to go to the station 279 00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:35,720 Speaker 4: and pick up these seven large recorders, load them into 280 00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:38,160 Speaker 4: my truck, bring them to the church, get them all 281 00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:41,040 Speaker 4: hooked up. I never thought much about it. I was 282 00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:44,560 Speaker 4: just doing what needed to be done. But God is 283 00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:48,920 Speaker 4: watching to see how we respond in the difficult times. 284 00:17:49,320 --> 00:17:53,119 Speaker 4: When we could slack off, we could be sour. You 285 00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:56,880 Speaker 4: have to be faithful in the wilderness before God will 286 00:17:56,920 --> 00:18:02,040 Speaker 4: take you into the promised land. Keep serving with excellence, 287 00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:06,680 Speaker 4: serving when no one is watching, Serving on your day off, 288 00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:10,040 Speaker 4: serving when it doesn't look like it will ever change. 289 00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:14,000 Speaker 4: Then one day, like David, you will come into a 290 00:18:14,119 --> 00:18:18,000 Speaker 4: destiny moment. Will God will open a door bigger than 291 00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:23,480 Speaker 4: you've imagined. Nineteen ninety nine, my father unexpectedly went to 292 00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:27,119 Speaker 4: be with the Lord. That was like my Goliath moment. 293 00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:30,399 Speaker 4: I was never expecting to be in front of the camera, 294 00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:34,600 Speaker 4: but God suddenly thrust me into this position. It's taking 295 00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:38,440 Speaker 4: me further than I've ever dreamed. But it all started 296 00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:42,840 Speaker 4: behind the scenes, when nobody was watching, When I was 297 00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:45,560 Speaker 4: doing what I could to make my father look good, 298 00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:49,720 Speaker 4: not trying to get the credit, not trying to manipulate things, 299 00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:53,760 Speaker 4: thinking maybe Daddy one day will choose me, maybe one 300 00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:57,920 Speaker 4: day I'll be in charge. I was simply faithfully serving 301 00:18:58,320 --> 00:19:02,000 Speaker 4: my father's vision. You may have a dream to have 302 00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:06,040 Speaker 4: your own business or have your own ministry, but right 303 00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:10,760 Speaker 4: now you're working for someone else. You're in approving season. 304 00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:14,159 Speaker 4: You need to do all you can to help that 305 00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:18,120 Speaker 4: company succeed. Do all this in your ability to help 306 00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:22,680 Speaker 4: that ministry flourish. Don't wait till you get what you want. 307 00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:25,120 Speaker 4: If you don't give it your best where you are, 308 00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:29,119 Speaker 4: that door won't open for you. I've heard it said 309 00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:33,880 Speaker 4: you have to carry a crown before you can wear one. 310 00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:37,240 Speaker 4: You have to serve someone else with excellence. You have 311 00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:41,520 Speaker 4: to help build their dream, help them succeed. Joel, I 312 00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:44,600 Speaker 4: want somebody to serve me, want someone to help me 313 00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:50,399 Speaker 4: be successful. The scripture says, if you're not faithful to 314 00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:54,000 Speaker 4: that which belongs to another man, who will give you 315 00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:57,320 Speaker 4: your own. Every day you go to work with a 316 00:19:57,359 --> 00:20:00,919 Speaker 4: good attitude and give it your all. Every time you 317 00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:04,800 Speaker 4: sing in the choir, usher someone to their seats, every 318 00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:07,880 Speaker 4: time you helped that friend with their project, you are 319 00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:12,560 Speaker 4: being faithful to another person's dream. You're showing God that 320 00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:15,800 Speaker 4: he could trust you with your own. God has a 321 00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:19,600 Speaker 4: crown for you. He wants you to rise higher, give 322 00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:24,600 Speaker 4: you more influence opportunity than you've ever seen. The question is, 323 00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:29,040 Speaker 4: are you carrying somebody else's crown? Are you helping somebody 324 00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:34,280 Speaker 4: else succeed, sewing into their dream, maybe serving in their ministry. 325 00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:39,760 Speaker 4: One King's nineteen God told the prophet Elijah to anoint 326 00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:44,440 Speaker 4: a young man named Elisha as his replacement. He saw 327 00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:47,520 Speaker 4: Elisha out plowing in the field. He went over and 328 00:20:47,560 --> 00:20:51,320 Speaker 4: threw his cloak on him. It represented his mantle. It 329 00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:55,160 Speaker 4: was an invitation for Elisha to work for him. Maybe 330 00:20:55,200 --> 00:20:58,359 Speaker 4: Elisha had a dream of being in ministry. This was 331 00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:02,280 Speaker 4: his big chance. God answered his prayer. I can imagine 332 00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:05,399 Speaker 4: Elisha saying, Elijah, I'd love to work for you. What 333 00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:08,600 Speaker 4: will my position be. He thought he'd be on the 334 00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:12,879 Speaker 4: platform leading the people. I can hear Elijah say, no, 335 00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:15,960 Speaker 4: I don't need anyone on the platform. I don't need 336 00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:19,359 Speaker 4: anyone in the limelight. I need you to get my food, 337 00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:24,040 Speaker 4: bring my water, set up my tent. It was a test. 338 00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:27,439 Speaker 4: He didn't tell Elisha that he was his replacement. He 339 00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:30,640 Speaker 4: didn't tell him a little earlier God said to anoint him. 340 00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:33,480 Speaker 4: Elisha could have said, I'd love to do it, but 341 00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:36,440 Speaker 4: I don't want to be in the background. I don't 342 00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:39,119 Speaker 4: want to serve in a menial position. I have big 343 00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:44,719 Speaker 4: things in my heart. Instead, Elisha understood this principle that 344 00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:48,560 Speaker 4: you have to carry a crown before you can wear one. 345 00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:53,640 Speaker 4: He faithfully served Elijah month after month, year after year. 346 00:21:54,119 --> 00:21:57,520 Speaker 4: In fact, three times Elijah tried to get rid of him. 347 00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:00,840 Speaker 4: He told him to stay in a city. He went further. 348 00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:05,760 Speaker 4: Elisha wouldn't do it. He was so committed so faithful 349 00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:09,680 Speaker 4: that he went with him anyway when Elijah was taken 350 00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:13,400 Speaker 4: to heaven in the whorld, when Elisha received a double 351 00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:17,480 Speaker 4: portion of his anointing, he performed twice as many miracles. 352 00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:21,199 Speaker 4: It would have never happened if he had not served 353 00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:26,240 Speaker 4: him all those years. Don't discount the power of serving, 354 00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:31,480 Speaker 4: being faithful, helping someone else succeed, Joel, I have my 355 00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:35,879 Speaker 4: own dreams. I'm falling behind. No, your time is coming. 356 00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:40,399 Speaker 4: There's a Goliath moment suddenly where God is going to 357 00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:44,160 Speaker 4: thrust you to a new level. You are never wasting 358 00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:48,560 Speaker 4: time serving others. It's a part of God's plan. You 359 00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:53,160 Speaker 4: cannot reach your destiny without being faithful to another person's dream. 360 00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:56,440 Speaker 4: That showing God he can trust you with your own. 361 00:22:57,280 --> 00:23:00,600 Speaker 4: As a young man, God gave Joseph a dream that 362 00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:03,720 Speaker 4: one day he would be in leadership, that people would 363 00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:06,919 Speaker 4: bow down before him. But he was betrayed by his 364 00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:10,720 Speaker 4: brothers and sold into slavery. He worked for a man 365 00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:16,160 Speaker 4: named potterfor a high ranking military official in the Egyptian Army. 366 00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:20,160 Speaker 4: Joseph had every right to be bitter to slack off 367 00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:24,640 Speaker 4: his own family turned on him, but instead of being discouraged. 368 00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:30,280 Speaker 4: Joseph kept excelling where he was doing more than required, 369 00:23:30,680 --> 00:23:34,080 Speaker 4: and Potterford noticed and put him in charge of his 370 00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:38,399 Speaker 4: whole household. Even when it's not fair, you can serve 371 00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:42,720 Speaker 4: your way up. People notice when you go the extra mile. 372 00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:46,960 Speaker 4: You should be so excellent at work that your company 373 00:23:47,119 --> 00:23:51,120 Speaker 4: can't make it without you. When your boss, your supervisor 374 00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:53,959 Speaker 4: looks at you, they think, wow, they're a cut above. 375 00:23:54,520 --> 00:23:57,520 Speaker 4: They're always on time, they always do more than they 376 00:23:57,560 --> 00:24:02,160 Speaker 4: have to. They always helped solve problem. If you're gone 377 00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:06,840 Speaker 4: and nobody misses you, everything at your company runs just 378 00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:10,600 Speaker 4: as smoothly, then maybe they don't need you. If you 379 00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:14,399 Speaker 4: want job security, you need to be so productive, so 380 00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:17,840 Speaker 4: above and beyond the norm, that there's a gap when 381 00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:21,479 Speaker 4: you're not there. This doesn't mean you have to have 382 00:24:21,560 --> 00:24:25,080 Speaker 4: the most talent. It means you know how to serve well. 383 00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:29,480 Speaker 4: Joseph was eventually put in prison for something that he 384 00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:33,440 Speaker 4: didn't do. Surely he'd be sour now, surely he would 385 00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:37,400 Speaker 4: slack off. No, he kept being his best, so much 386 00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:41,000 Speaker 4: so that the supervisor put him in charge of the prison. 387 00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:47,000 Speaker 4: Betrayed but still serving faithfully, not fair, but still serving 388 00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:51,680 Speaker 4: with excellence. That gets God's attention. One night, the Pharaoh 389 00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:55,840 Speaker 4: had a dream that he didn't understand. Word reached him 390 00:24:56,240 --> 00:25:00,320 Speaker 4: that this young prisoner, this slave named Joseph, couldn't hepet 391 00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:04,760 Speaker 4: dreams he sent for him. Joseph was standing in the 392 00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:07,679 Speaker 4: palace in front of one of the most powerful people 393 00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:12,480 Speaker 4: of that day. The betrayal, the bad break, the injustice. 394 00:25:12,880 --> 00:25:16,439 Speaker 4: It was a test. God was saying, Joseph, will you 395 00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:19,840 Speaker 4: serve me through the bad breaks? Will you serve me 396 00:25:20,359 --> 00:25:24,840 Speaker 4: through the lonely nights? When you face big challenges, it's 397 00:25:24,840 --> 00:25:28,080 Speaker 4: because God has a big destiny in front of you. 398 00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:32,960 Speaker 4: Joseph passed the test. He not only served his way up, 399 00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:37,119 Speaker 4: he served his way out. He interpreted the dream. The 400 00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:40,320 Speaker 4: pharaoh was so impressed he brought him out of prison 401 00:25:40,840 --> 00:25:44,960 Speaker 4: and made Joseph the prime minister of Egypt. When you 402 00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:50,560 Speaker 4: go through unfair situations, don't get bitter. Keep serving, keep 403 00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:55,800 Speaker 4: being faithful, keep helping someone else succeed. That difficulty is 404 00:25:55,880 --> 00:25:59,480 Speaker 4: not there to stop you. It's there to promote you. Now, 405 00:25:59,520 --> 00:26:04,680 Speaker 4: do you and serve your way out? Not negative complaining. 406 00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:07,240 Speaker 4: All right, Joey, you talk me into it, I'll do it. 407 00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:10,280 Speaker 4: But it's not fair. You can do the right thing 408 00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:15,080 Speaker 4: with the wrong attitude and miss your blessing. God is 409 00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:18,159 Speaker 4: not just looking at what we do. He's looking at 410 00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:22,320 Speaker 4: the attitude of our heart. The Psalmist said, serve the 411 00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:27,080 Speaker 4: Lord with gladness, Serve with a smile, go to work 412 00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:30,920 Speaker 4: with a good attitude, singing the choir with joy. Too 413 00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:35,000 Speaker 4: many people are serving with sadness. They wonder why nothing changes. 414 00:26:35,600 --> 00:26:38,439 Speaker 4: If David would have taken lunch to his brothers with 415 00:26:38,560 --> 00:26:42,520 Speaker 4: a sour attitude, complaining, I don't believe he would have 416 00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:48,119 Speaker 4: met Goliath, if Elishah would have served Elijah negative, I 417 00:26:48,119 --> 00:26:50,720 Speaker 4: can't believe I'm still taking care of this old man. 418 00:26:51,240 --> 00:26:53,159 Speaker 4: This is not what I signed up for. He'd have 419 00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:57,879 Speaker 4: never received the double portion. Don't miss your blessing because 420 00:26:57,920 --> 00:27:01,280 Speaker 4: you're sour. You're doing the right thing. Make sure you're 421 00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:05,520 Speaker 4: doing it with gladness. Remember you're not working under people. 422 00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:09,119 Speaker 4: You're not just serving your company, serving your church, serving 423 00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:12,520 Speaker 4: your neighbor. You are serving the creator of the universe, 424 00:27:12,840 --> 00:27:16,600 Speaker 4: the God who breathed life into you. You may be 425 00:27:16,960 --> 00:27:21,520 Speaker 4: in a difficult situation like Joseph, serve your way out. 426 00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:25,199 Speaker 4: Keep being your best where you are. Don't discount the 427 00:27:25,359 --> 00:27:29,520 Speaker 4: small things. Taking your brother's lunch. That small act of 428 00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:33,040 Speaker 4: service is leading to the big things God has in store. 429 00:27:33,880 --> 00:27:38,600 Speaker 4: Many of you have been serving faithfully, going the extra mile, 430 00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:42,320 Speaker 4: doing it with a good attitude. Get ready. Your time 431 00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:45,720 Speaker 4: is coming. God is about to open a new door. 432 00:27:46,280 --> 00:27:49,320 Speaker 4: He's about to put you in position where you're not 433 00:27:49,520 --> 00:27:53,280 Speaker 4: just carrying a crown. You're wearing your crown. You're seeing 434 00:27:53,320 --> 00:27:57,040 Speaker 4: a dream come to pass. It's because you've been faithful 435 00:27:57,200 --> 00:28:02,560 Speaker 4: to serve. I believe and declare. Breakthroughs are coming, promotions 436 00:28:02,560 --> 00:28:06,639 Speaker 4: are coming, healings are coming, new levels of your destiny 437 00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:10,239 Speaker 4: in Jesus' name, and if you receive it, can you 438 00:28:10,280 --> 00:28:13,960 Speaker 4: say it? Men? Today, I'd like to give you an 439 00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:17,880 Speaker 4: opportunity to make Jesus the Lord of your life. Would 440 00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:22,840 Speaker 4: you pray with me? Just say, Lord, Jesus, I repent 441 00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:27,439 Speaker 4: of my sins. Come into my heart. I'll make you 442 00:28:27,560 --> 00:28:31,600 Speaker 4: my Lord and savior. If you prayed that simple prayer, 443 00:28:31,800 --> 00:28:34,560 Speaker 4: we believe you got born again. Get in a good 444 00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:37,399 Speaker 4: Bible based church.
